Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL #394 - 1,000 Woke Netflix Staff Plan Walkout Protesting Dave Chappelle w-Nerdrotic

00:00:00.000 Dave Chappelle's new comedy special is pretty good.

00:00:02.000 I think it wasn't as good as Sticks and Stones.

00:00:05.000 Of course, the critics are outraged, saying it was just bad.

00:00:08.000 I love how this new generation of woke media critic hates everything that most people likes.

00:00:14.000 Whatever.

00:00:15.000 But of course, you see in Rotten Tomatoes, the audience absolutely loved it. 0.98

00:00:17.000 But it's generating a lot of controversy, which is a stupid thing to say, because it's just a fringe group of woke weirdos. 0.65

00:00:23.000 However, it's still a lot of people at Netflix. 0.98

00:00:25.000 First we heard a trans woman stormed into a meeting and started yelling. 0.84

00:00:29.000 Then we heard someone at Netflix leaked information about how much Dave Chappelle got paid.

00:00:33.000 Now we're hearing 1,000 woke employees are planning a virtual shutdown where they will not be working.

00:00:40.000 Netflix has even fired the leaker and claimed we are on the right side of history, which is kind of odd considering cuties But sure try and stand on that hill Netflix I don't think anyone is gonna be defending you for the most part But I think most of us like Dave Chappelle and this just goes to show I think you know Kind of optimism here.

00:00:58.000 Kind of being optimistic because it doesn't look like their protests are going to work.

00:01:02.000 Netflix doesn't care.

00:01:03.000 They make too much money off this.

00:01:04.000 People like Dave Chappelle.

00:01:05.000 So we got a lot to talk about.

00:01:06.000 We got to talk about this.

00:01:07.000 We got to talk about the economic collapse.

00:01:09.000 The holidays are on the verge of... Well, the holidays will happen.

00:01:13.000 I don't want to say they won't happen, but pumpkin shortages, turkey shortages, Christmas tree shortages.

00:01:18.000 Well, you name it.

00:01:18.000 That's all thanks to Joe Biden.

00:01:19.000 But don't worry, Jen Psaki says this is good news.

00:01:22.000 It means people are buying stuff.

00:01:23.000 Yeah, right.

00:01:24.000 Okay.

00:01:24.000 Joining us to talk about a lot of these topics, and probably a whole bunch of comic book stuff, is Nerdrotic.

00:01:29.000 Hi, how you doing?

00:01:31.000 I'm great.

00:01:31.000 You want to introduce yourself?

00:01:32.000 Yes.

00:01:32.000 My name is Gary Buechler.

00:01:33.000 I come from nerdrotic.com and Nerdrotic here on YouTube.

00:01:37.000 It's my first time here.

00:01:38.000 I'm happy to be here.

00:01:40.000 Happy to talk to everybody.

00:01:41.000 It's impressive.

00:01:43.000 It's impressive, the compound.

00:01:45.000 Like our new studio?

00:01:46.000 Yeah.

00:01:47.000 I love the new studio.

00:01:49.000 Love the house.

00:01:49.000 Love everything about it and happy to be here.

00:01:52.000 It's an honor.

00:01:53.000 Howdy, my name is Luke Gdowski here of WeAreChange.org.

00:01:55.000 And first off, it looks like Instagram, I might be wrong, took off a warning before people followed me on my Instagram page.

00:02:02.000 So thank you guys for helping me rectify that situation by having hundreds of people follow my account.

00:02:08.000 Second off, I personally want to thank YouTube for demonetizing my channel a few years ago.

00:02:14.000 Because if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have an awesome t-shirt store and shirts like this that I'm wearing right now.

00:02:20.000 Let's say, I'm Joe Biden and I forgot this message, which you could exclusively get on thebestpoliticalshirts.com.

00:02:26.000 So thank you, YouTube and Instagram.

00:02:28.000 Never thought I would say that.

00:02:30.000 You also have a crystal around your neck.

00:02:31.000 What is that, quartz?

00:02:33.000 This was a gift.

00:02:33.000 I forgot exactly what it was.

00:02:35.000 It's not a quartz.

00:02:35.000 It's something else.

00:02:36.000 I forgot.

00:02:37.000 This is my favorite comic book of all time.

00:02:38.000 I'm glad you're here, Gary.

00:02:39.000 This is the Infinity Gauntlet number four.

00:02:41.000 It's epic.

00:02:42.000 This is when comics were real.

00:02:43.000 And tell me off the bat, what were you gonna say?

00:02:45.000 What's your favorite comic?

00:02:47.000 Oh, what's my favorite?

00:02:48.000 If I have a single favorite comic, it's a run.

00:02:50.000 So it's Daredevil, Frank Miller's Daredevil run.

00:02:53.000 Really?

00:02:53.000 Wow.

00:02:53.000 Yeah, I thought that.

00:02:55.000 I read that when I was 12.

00:02:56.000 It was epic.

00:02:58.000 The first time that I saw, they had killed somebody before, but first time I had read A character get killed.

00:03:04.000 Yeah, that's something about that.

00:03:05.000 And there was something that impressed a lot of us 12 year olds back then who were very impressionable.

00:03:11.000 But Fred Miller's art and his writing was just next level.

00:03:14.000 Good.

00:03:14.000 Well, maybe that was brilliant.

00:03:16.000 Yeah, this series is great.

00:03:17.000 Well, I'm Ian Crossland.

00:03:18.000 Happy to be here.

00:03:19.000 Thanks.

00:03:19.000 And I am also showing off Luke's merch from the what is it called?

00:03:23.000 What's your site?

00:03:24.000 The Best Political Shirts dot com.

00:03:25.000 That's right.

00:03:26.000 And he gave this to me for Christmas.

00:03:27.000 And now I have it.

00:03:28.000 It looks way better on me than it does on him.

00:03:30.000 I'm going to do the Christmas shopping now because of the shortages, so let me know what you guys like.

00:03:34.000 Yeah, awesome.

00:04:07.000 And now let's get into that first big story.

00:04:08.000 Dave Chappelle.

00:04:09.000 We got this story from Gizmodo and there's a lot of moving parts here.

00:04:13.000 1,000 Netflix employees are reportedly planning a walkout to protest new Chappelle special.

00:04:19.000 Staffers are threatening to revolt after executives doubled down on claims that content on screen

00:04:25.000 doesn't directly translate to real world harm. All right, I'm in a tough spot right here, guys.

00:04:32.000 Okay, Netflix, they did cuties. That was messed up. They also do big mouth. I also think that's

00:04:39.000 pretty messed up. But they're defending Dave Chappelle from a woke mob. What do we do?

00:04:45.000 Conflicted.

00:04:46.000 Take it one situation at a time, I guess.

00:04:49.000 I'm not subscribed to Netflix anymore, but I support them in supporting Dave Chappelle.

00:04:54.000 We're starting to see certain things break down in our system as time goes.

00:05:01.000 This is going to be a huge face-off between two groups, we'll just say.

00:05:08.000 It's important.

00:05:08.000 I mean, no one's perfect.

00:05:10.000 If someone does good, you compliment them.

00:05:12.000 If someone does something bad, you criticize them.

00:05:14.000 There's a lot of things to criticize Netflix, especially with its founder, especially with its history, especially with its past and the psychological symbolism in a lot of its content.

00:05:25.000 But when we look at the Dave Chappelle special, unless you watched it, I don't think you should be commenting on it, because I just finished watching it today, and it's not his best work.

00:05:36.000 But it's powerful, it's impactful, because it... I don't want to ruin this, so spoiler alert.

00:05:43.000 If you haven't watched it yet, you might want to just mute it for like two minutes while I talk here.

00:05:47.000 I mean, there's a story at the end that revolves around Daphne Dorman, a friend of Dave Chappelle, that, according to her family, committed suicide because the woke mob went after her because she supported Dave Chappelle.

00:06:02.000 And this is a trans woman.

00:06:03.000 This is a trans woman that Dave Chappelle was friends with, was doing comedy shows with, was helping, supporting, and treating like a student of the art.

00:06:13.000 And Daphne tweeted, I tweeted this on my official Twitter account, lookwearechanged, because I I sent out the tweet that got her attacked by the hate mob and it's an important one to note here to see what she tweeted here.

00:06:29.000 Because the family members are literally saying it was this hate mob that led to her committing suicide recently when she defended Dave Chappelle's Sticks and Stones Netflix special.

00:06:40.000 And she said, quote, punching down requires you to consider yourself superior to another group.

00:06:46.000 Dave Chappelle doesn't consider himself better than me in any way.

00:06:50.000 He isn't punching up or punching down.

00:06:52.000 He's punching lines.

00:06:53.000 That's his job and he's a master of his craft.

00:06:57.000 That's what she wrote.

00:06:58.000 And this is what, I mean, it's a partial spoiler, but in the special, I mean, a large portion of it is dedicated to this story with a series of jokes in it.

00:07:07.000 And he has this line where he's like, man, I don't know what they said to her, but they drove her to climb up on top of a building and jump off.

00:07:14.000 And then he tells a joke about it.

00:07:16.000 And then, you know, everyone laughs and he says, Daphne would have loved that joke because she was part of my tribe, a comedian.

00:07:23.000 And see, that's the thing, right?

00:07:24.000 This is an individual, a trans woman, who is like, yes, people can do jokes.

00:07:27.000 It can be offensive.

00:07:28.000 It's like, it is what it is.

00:07:29.000 Dave Chappelle, we totally get it.

00:07:31.000 But this woke mob, They need to control comedy, art, laughter.

00:07:38.000 You know, maybe it's cliche to say communist, right?

00:07:40.000 That's what the Soviets did. 0.97

00:07:41.000 They can't allow people to have free thought that would challenge and spread, so they specifically target it.

00:07:48.000 Now, these people are planning on protesting.

00:07:50.000 I think it shows, man, their power is waning.

00:07:54.000 Now, let me just say about Netflix.

00:07:56.000 They did Cuties.

00:07:58.000 Man, that's messed up.

00:07:59.000 They do Big Mouth. 1.00

00:08:00.000 You guys know what Big Mouth is?

00:08:03.000 Big Mouth is a show about children going through puberty, and it's extremely sexually explicit.

00:08:12.000 And I'm just like, yo.

00:08:14.000 It's a cartoon.

00:08:15.000 It's not the same as Cuties, but it's still weird.

00:08:17.000 Like, what they're doing.

00:08:19.000 Like, I don't know, man.

00:08:20.000 I saw some people, like, hey, you should watch it, and I'm like, I guess.

00:08:23.000 And I was at this guy's house, and they put it on, and I'm like, dude, this is... What are you watching, man?

00:08:27.000 Like, I don't wanna... I can't even say what some of these episodes are about, because YouTube would literally, like, demonetize or derank or even ban us.

00:08:34.000 If I gave you...

00:08:36.000 The synopsis of one episode I saw?

00:08:38.000 Yeah, we'd probably get taken down.

00:08:40.000 Like, you can't even talk about it, but it's on Netflix.

00:08:42.000 Netflix is also the company that fired one of their... I think an executive got fired because he was explaining to staff what words were offensive and should not be said.

00:08:51.000 And in doing so, he said the words.

00:08:54.000 And so they freaked out and they fired the guy.

00:08:57.000 Now, with Netflix coming out and defending Dave Chappelle, we have to defend them on this one.

00:09:03.000 Because all the people who came out and said, Netflix is evil, I'm canceling my subscription, should be coming back and saying, for this, I actually will consider subscribing.

00:09:11.000 Because think about it, even though they did bad things, If there's no redemption for Netflix, they won't change course. 0.61

00:09:17.000 If Netflix feels like, look, we tried, you know, giving these people what they wanted with Dave Chappelle, it wasn't enough, screw it, cut them off, there's no point.

00:09:24.000 We're never gonna win them back.

00:09:25.000 If we say, this is what we do like, and we're willing to sign up now because you're defending Dave Chappelle, they're gonna be like, hey, do more of this!

00:09:32.000 The woke people aren't buying anything, they don't got money.

00:09:34.000 These are the people that we should be supporting.

00:09:36.000 That's why I think it's important to actually be like, defend Netflix on this one.

00:09:40.000 Hey, it's Kimberly Fletcher here from Moms 4 America with some very exciting news.

00:09:45.000 Tucker Carlson is going on a nationwide tour this fall, and Moms 4 America has the exclusive VIP meet and greet experience for you.

00:10:50.000 See you on the tour.

00:10:51.000 Yeah, I mean, you know, we don't have to always lump everything in when talking about

00:11:03.000 a particular case.

00:11:04.000 And again, case by case basis, there's a lot to criticize Netflix.

00:11:07.000 I mean, it's just weird that the founder of Netflix, his uncle is Edward Bernays.

00:11:12.000 He's a nephew of Sigmund Freud.

00:11:14.000 Yeah, this is according to the New York Times, and they're reporting on him.

00:11:19.000 So this is obviously an industry that has grown very fast, very rapidly, and I still think it's figuring itself out.

00:11:27.000 Because you do see a lot of propaganda, you do see a lot of subliminal messaging, you do see A lot of crazy content out there that you don't see on normal television.

00:11:36.000 You do see them taking risks, especially with things like Black Mirror.

00:11:40.000 There's a lot of predictive programming.

00:11:42.000 There's a lot of conditioning.

00:11:43.000 There's a lot of things that we could say here.

00:11:45.000 But I still think, by and large, Netflix has expanded.

00:11:48.000 It's at a point where YouTube is trying to become it.

00:11:52.000 So that's power right there, to say the least.

00:11:55.000 How they're going to wield this power, how are they going to move forward, it's going to be very interesting to see.

00:11:59.000 But they're a major powerhouse to contend with.

00:12:03.000 It is difficult though.

00:12:05.000 I mean, don't they still have cuties up?

00:12:07.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:12:08.000 And it's like, even if you defend Dave Chappelle, they're also getting you to come on board with that kind of garbage.

00:12:13.000 Yeah, so I support them defending Dave Chappelle all day long. 0.95

00:12:20.000 I'm not going to sign up again until they get rid of cuties.

00:12:23.000 I kind of hold the line there.

00:12:24.000 And it's hard, you're right.

00:12:25.000 We need to show people support when they, you know, like a good, if they're a puppy dog, you go, good dog.

00:12:30.000 When they do something good, they pee on the floor, you get mad at them.

00:12:34.000 But let's see what they do in this one instance.

00:12:38.000 And then I will see if I can support it.

00:12:41.000 Later.

00:12:41.000 It's a weird fight because Dave Chappelle isn't against trans people. He has friends that are trans people

00:12:47.000 He cares about the community his message is like hey stop Stop trying to tell me how to live my life stop trying to

00:12:53.000 control every aspect of my existence Stop trying to cancel people just for trying to make you

00:12:57.000 laugh And I think that's the bigger takeaway here because you

00:13:00.000 know, this is all at the end of the day coming to comedy coming to someone

00:13:06.000 Mastering an art trying to help people trying to make people's lives better trying to improve

00:13:13.000 The quality of their mental health by being able to laugh at very tough difficult

00:13:17.000 Situations which sadly are stigmatized to a point and level where you can't even discuss them honestly on

00:13:24.000 You know the major information highways that we have on the internet you

00:13:29.000 You can't really get the truth about a lot of these issues you can't really speak about them openly so the last thing that we have is comedy so to see this kind of war against comedy.

00:13:41.000 It's troubling I have a lot of negative things to say about Netflix on this side.

00:13:46.000 It's a weird fight because.

00:13:48.000 It's weird leftists who are protesting someone trying to help them and make them laugh, who's essentially on their side in many elements of his existence.

00:13:58.000 You know, it used to be the left used to protest multinational corporations, governments, the military-industrial complex, the prison-industrial complex, Big Pharma.

00:14:06.000 That's an old one.

00:14:07.000 There's a lot of dust to wipe off there.

00:14:08.000 Holy cow. 0.89

00:14:10.000 Tucker Carlson, critical of the World Trade Organization or something, you know, he's talking about that and I'm just like, man, to see Tucker Carlson on the side of the WTO protesters from the battle in Seattle is just a weird thing.

00:14:19.000 It really is.

00:14:20.000 Man, but hey, I'll take it, you know.

00:14:23.000 We're in a, yeah, we're in a weird timeline for sure.

00:14:25.000 I think, I mean, there's that, I want to sit back and kind of watch them eat each other at times like this.

00:14:31.000 It's just, it's fun because they deserve it.

00:14:33.000 But, um, what, what you said earlier, Dave, if you watch the special, yeah, there's no way you can criticize it without watching it because it really is an end to all his Netflix specials.

00:14:44.000 Uh, it really is kind of, uh, an epilogue to Sticks and Stones, which is absolute, just epic.

00:14:51.000 It's so good.

00:14:52.000 Uh, and he really says what he means.

00:14:55.000 And it's like, what I was noticing was he says really normal stuff.

00:15:00.000 That's, uh, that's considered controversial now to where I, I don't even, I mean, I'm a guest on a show, so I don't want to repeat it, but he said something very normal about women and the process of giving birth and, uh, what that is, uh, you know, compared to, and people were applauding and we're like, yeah, that's something that like.

00:15:19.000 Really happens every day.

00:15:20.000 It's weird that we're applauding stuff like that.

00:15:22.000 He's like, women give birth. 1.00

00:15:28.000 You know, I talk to a lot of regular people.

00:15:31.000 You know, I go out, we go to the mall, I was at a farm recently talking to some regular people just about life, and their opinions are fairly similar to all of ours.

00:15:39.000 I think the issue is that these leftists and people at Netflix... It's that tweet we pulled up before from Matthew Iglesias, where he's like, Twitter is people who are 95% further left than the average voter, arguing that people who are 75% further left than the regular voter are far-right or alt-right or something.

00:15:55.000 That's exactly it.

00:15:56.000 Netflix thinks Twitter is moderate.

00:16:00.000 And that's like, that's like going into a sewer and thinking you're getting farm-fresh vegetables when it's black sludge.

00:16:07.000 You're like literally pouring soju in a cup, like, hmm, looks like farm-fresh vegetables to me.

00:16:10.000 It's like, dude, that is, that is the after effect of all of the refuse and waste and chemicals.

00:16:15.000 That is not real life.

00:16:17.000 This is what you get.

00:16:17.000 These are the shows they make.

00:16:20.000 It's kind of crazy to me that they make and keep making some of these shows and some shows get cancelled.

00:16:27.000 I don't even know how they determine which show is worth keeping.

00:16:30.000 Perhaps they liked Cuties because the controversy was just good for their brand recognition or something?

00:16:34.000 But a lot of people cancelled their membership after that.

00:16:36.000 A lot.

00:16:38.000 I cancelled mine as well.

00:16:40.000 Uh, you know, everyone has a friend of a friend anyway, to see some of the latest stuff.

00:16:44.000 That's how I watched, uh, you know, today's, uh, Dave Chappelle special.

00:16:48.000 But, uh, this is a very interesting, uh, dichotomy because it used to be Netflix used to allow you to rate the videos that you would watch out of five stars.

00:16:59.000 And then, of course, came Amy Schumer and absolutely nuked and destroyed that system because people are like, no, we don't like this.

00:17:07.000 We don't support this.

00:17:08.000 And they didn't like that.

00:17:09.000 And they got rid of the people's voice on Netflix.

00:17:11.000 That was hilarious.

00:17:12.000 Just awful.

00:17:14.000 Now you have that Hannah Gadsby, I think her name is? 0.95

00:17:17.000 Oh gosh, yeah.

00:17:18.000 And she's complaining about it as well because they're like, look, we have an eclectic group of voices.

00:17:22.000 Check out this story we got from The Hollywood Reporter.

00:17:24.000 Netflix fires employee for leaking confidential information on Chappelle's special.

00:17:28.000 The employee leaked financial data to Bloomberg, which reported in October 13th article that Netflix spent $24.1 million on Dave Chappelle's The Closer.

00:17:34.000 $24.1 million on Dave Chappelle's The Closer.

00:17:38.000 Woo! 0.99

00:17:40.000 Not only is Dave Chappelle smacking down Wokeness and just speaking his mind,

00:17:43.000 he's getting paid that kind of money to do it?

00:17:45.000 Nice.

00:17:46.000 Wow, man.

00:17:47.000 That was half of what he walked away from Comedy Central for, so he's made it back, I'm guessing.

00:17:52.000 Good for Dave.

00:17:53.000 Well, he also said he's not gonna speak about this again.

00:17:56.000 He says it's over, I'm not gonna be doing specials, I'm done.

00:17:59.000 I gotta say, watching the special, it feels like they got him.

00:18:02.000 Dave Chappelle was like, I can't do this anymore.

00:18:05.000 He said, I'm not gonna make these jokes anymore because if they don't get it, I don't know, I can't do it.

00:18:09.000 Dave Chappelle gave in.

00:18:10.000 That's too bad, because he's a cultural force, and he can change people's minds.

00:18:14.000 He did it before he walked away from the Chappelle Show.

00:18:16.000 Just went to Africa for a while.

00:18:18.000 Checked out.

00:18:18.000 He does what he wants.

00:18:19.000 Yeah, I think it was because, um, I think his story was that when he did the Chappelle Show, he did a sketch that was critical of racism, but the people, like, he talked to someone who didn't know that's what it was, and it kind of got him mad.

00:18:31.000 And he was like, is that what you think I'm trying to say?

00:18:33.000 I remember reading a story about that.

00:18:34.000 I don't know, maybe it's been a long time and I'm getting the story wrong, but something like that.

00:18:37.000 Here's where I think it's really crazy.

00:18:39.000 Netflix says, we are on the right side of history in row on internal message board over the comedian's jokes.

00:18:46.000 That to me is the crazy, crazy thing.

00:18:48.000 He says, quote, we let go, a spokesperson said, we let go of an employee for sharing confidential commercially sensitive information outside the company.

00:18:54.000 We understand this employee may have been motivated by disappointment and hurt with Netflix, but maintaining a culture of trust and transparency is core to our company.

00:19:02.000 The longtime employee was fired because they leaked that information.

00:19:05.000 But to say that they're on the right side of history.

00:19:07.000 I do believe that our commitment to artistic expression and pleasing our members is the right long-term choice for Netflix and that we are on the right side, but only time will tell.

00:19:17.000 That's apparently what they said to the New York Times.

00:19:20.000 This is what you get when you let this stuff go on for too long. 1.00

00:19:25.000 And now it's biting them in the ass so good. 0.99

00:19:28.000 That part of it, I'm extremely happy about to see them suffer these consequences. 1.00

00:19:33.000 Yeah, I mean, that being said, maybe not supporting them is still the right move.

00:19:36.000 Maybe.

00:19:38.000 Oh, I don't support centralized entertainment networks like this.

00:19:42.000 I think you need a decentralized network that's going to propagate the art, because anytime you have a gatekeeper, you're going to have people saying yes or no, and that's the problem.

00:19:49.000 It's not that they said no, it's giving someone the ability to say yes or no and get super rich off it.

00:19:55.000 Well, on that note, there are a lot of different options that you have.

00:19:58.000 You can let the free market decide where you're going to spend your entertainment dollars.

00:20:01.000 I use Hulu.

00:20:02.000 That's my choice.

00:20:03.000 I don't know if you completely agree with them or whatever, but you can use Disney+, you can use Hulu, you can use, like, DirecTV and Amazon.

00:20:08.000 They're all so awful.

00:20:09.000 Hmm? 0.99

00:20:10.000 They're all so awful.

00:20:11.000 Oh, I know. 0.97

00:20:11.000 They're all bad in different ways. 0.97

00:20:12.000 Hulu did that tweet where they were like, remember a couple years ago?

00:20:15.000 Don't wear Halloween costumes that are insensitive.

00:20:18.000 And I'm like, why is my online streaming platform telling me what to wear? 0.99

00:20:23.000 Because you get a central authority that builds up millions, billions of followers, and then they sell the company to some idiot that gets the Twitter account of 40 million people and can tell you to do stupid stuff. 0.91

00:20:33.000 And now most of these platforms are filled with ads. 0.96

00:20:36.000 You're paying a premium just for a specific channel.

00:20:40.000 And now Amazon, Hulu, all of them are like paramount.

00:20:43.000 They're all playing ads before you get to watch the content that you paid for.

00:20:46.000 It's just another slap in the face to the consumer.

00:20:49.000 And that's probably why they're not doing that well.

00:20:52.000 And they're going to all have to, one of them is probably going to get bought up by like Paramount.

00:20:57.000 It might be for sale by Apple sometimes.

00:20:59.000 And they're way too late in the ad game.

00:21:01.000 But the reason, you know, I think Netflix is way too powerful and they're a billion dollar corporation that does make way, you know, they were, this is a rumor, okay.

00:21:13.000 But they were thinking about going into content creation like YouTube.

00:21:17.000 They thought about it seriously three years ago.

00:21:19.000 Ditched out of it.

00:21:21.000 Yeah.

00:21:21.000 They, it was just too, they were too far behind.

00:21:23.000 Right.

00:21:24.000 Uh, but their infrastructure, I had a, I had a good friend who worked on work with them in the early days, that infrastructure that they worked on that for years.

00:21:31.000 So they are light years ahead of any other streaming service for a long time.

00:21:36.000 Uh, they've have patents on certain menus.

00:21:38.000 That's why you're on Disney plus you're on paramount.

00:21:41.000 Plus you're like, why is this menu set?

00:21:42.000 Well, they own half of it, half, most of the menus and stuff.

00:21:45.000 They own the patents on that.

00:21:47.000 So they can't go.

00:21:48.000 Remember, wasn't Amazon going to do a YouTube thing a few years back?

00:21:51.000 Remember that?

00:21:51.000 Yeah.

00:21:52.000 Well, they're doing some kind of live streaming thing now, which is weird.

00:21:55.000 Twitch?

00:21:56.000 No, on Amazon, on the website.

00:21:58.000 That's weird.

00:21:58.000 They're doing, like, here, watch this live stream, which is, like, usually someone trying to, you know, sell products.

00:22:04.000 That's pretty weird.

00:22:06.000 Amazon Live.

00:22:07.000 Is that what that is?

00:22:08.000 Yeah.

00:22:09.000 Is this the right side of history is the question.

00:22:11.000 I don't think so.

00:22:11.000 Centralized authorities are not, we're not going to look back on having a gatekeeper as the right side.

00:22:17.000 I guess I looked at it like freedom of expression, not centralized authority.

00:22:21.000 So I suspect what's happening with Netflix is that they're looking at Twitter and they're looking at their marketing data and they're like, OK, Twitter is really not real life.

00:22:29.000 And what's going to be best for us is actually having diverse viewpoints and diverse opinions, whether everyone agrees with stuff like Cuties or whether everyone agrees with stuff like Dave Chappelle or not, which I think is probably smart and will do them well in the long term.

00:22:43.000 You know, the challenge is This is where our culture's at.

00:22:48.000 I mean, you've got Dave Chappelle the Closer on Netflix.

00:22:50.000 It's a point of conversation.

00:22:51.000 People group around it.

00:22:53.000 And that means people have to get a subscription to be able to watch it, or, you know, borrow a friend's.

00:22:57.000 But for the most part, it means more subscriptions, and that's exactly what Netflix wants.

00:23:01.000 Then they'll probably just keep doing the same controversial stuff back and forth to generate more controversy, which is good for their business no matter what happens.

00:23:08.000 I agree.

00:23:10.000 I want, I like Dave Chappelle.

00:23:11.000 I'm going to side with Dave Chappelle and not Netflix.

00:23:14.000 And I think the only reason Netflix is supporting Dave Chappelle is because they gave him $24 million.

00:23:20.000 And it's just, they're weighing out like what, you know, because if they, if they Pull that special?

00:23:27.000 They're just weighing what the backlash is going to be, what's going to be worse.

00:23:31.000 Are they publicly traded too, aren't they?

00:23:33.000 Yes.

00:23:34.000 Imagine explaining to your shareholders why we dumped $24 million in Dave Chappelle only to pull it within like a week or something.

00:23:41.000 Or it's been a little bit longer than that, but still.

00:23:45.000 I think if 1,000 employees do walk out, that might make a difference.

00:23:50.000 I mean, there's a lot of people there.

00:23:51.000 I don't know if that is actually going to happen.

00:23:54.000 I mean, that sounds like a plan.

00:23:55.000 1,000?

00:23:55.000 I mean, who's saying that?

00:23:56.000 Like, where's the claim coming from?

00:23:58.000 There's going to be 1,000 people coming out on protests.

00:24:00.000 I mean, maybe... Insiders? 1.00

00:24:03.000 Yeah, I mean, that just seems extremely optimistic.

00:24:06.000 You could never ask protesters how many people are at a protest because they're always going to...

00:24:12.000 exaggerate the number and it's just ridiculous to think that's going to

00:24:16.000 happen but but have any of these people watch the show because I think if they

00:24:20.000 do they would get a sense of understanding and it's not about that

00:24:23.000 though I know of course it's not you go to these people and you're like here's

00:24:26.000 the video clip of what he actually said and they're gonna be like you're a bigot

00:24:29.000 yeah Netflix net worth is 280 billion Whoa, really?

00:24:34.000 As of October 14, yeah.

00:24:36.000 Wow.

00:24:36.000 Whoa, look how that has shot up in the last year.

00:24:38.000 Yeah, because people gotta watch something.

00:24:40.000 From like $180 to $200 billion.

00:24:42.000 I guess here's the question, you know, do you think that we're gonna see more companies try and embrace anti-woke stuff?

00:24:49.000 Because look at what Bill Maher said.

00:24:50.000 Bill Maher said, for the first time, he's playing to a mixed audience.

00:24:54.000 He said, people are hungry for critiques of the woke left.

00:24:57.000 It's like, relate to the party, Bill!

00:24:59.000 But, I get it.

00:25:00.000 Yeah, he's way late to that party.

00:25:02.000 People are starving for stuff like that, but I don't think they're going to go to broadcast entertainment for it.

00:25:07.000 I think they're finding it right here and right on YouTube with other people.

00:25:11.000 And I think they are way late.

00:25:13.000 I would like to see the establishment turn it around.

00:25:16.000 I just have very little faith.

00:25:18.000 They need a lot of failures.

00:25:22.000 You know what I don't believe?

00:25:23.000 They've been able to either hide them that or you know, who knows what's true anymore like they're starting to hide

00:25:28.000 TV failures now, they're starting, you know, they're they're not giving they don't have to give out numbers for

00:25:34.000 streaming services You know, you know what? I don't believe I don't believe

00:25:37.000 anyone liked Kimmy Schmidt. I don't either I do.

00:25:40.000 Did you watch it?

00:25:41.000 I watched it.

00:25:41.000 You liked it?

00:25:42.000 I liked it.

00:25:43.000 Lies. 0.99

00:25:44.000 I'm such a big fan of 30 Rock.

00:25:46.000 I will tell you why I liked Kimmy Schmidt. 0.98

00:25:47.000 Because she was trapped underground in a bunker and as someone who was homeschooled and isolated from the rest of the world for my entire upbringing, that really resonated with me.

00:25:55.000 So I don't know if that made the jokes funny, I guess?

00:25:58.000 Oh, I liked it.

00:25:59.000 That's just cute.

00:26:00.000 Look, I watch, you know, I just binged 30 Rock again because I periodically watch 30 Rock because it's amazing.

00:26:05.000 And I just laugh nonstop.

00:26:07.000 It's brutally hilarious.

00:26:09.000 And then I'm like, I finished it and I was like, OK, I'm going to watch Kimmy Schmidt.

00:26:12.000 I tried to watch before.

00:26:13.000 I got to watch it because it's the it's it's Tina Fey.

00:26:16.000 Very similar style of humor.

00:26:18.000 And then I'm two episodes in with my eyes just like half closed, like not a single laugh, maybe a chuckle like that.

00:26:23.000 And then I was like, how I look at the I look at the ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and it's like award winning number one.

00:26:28.000 And I'm like, dude.

00:26:30.000 I understand how the media lies, because I pay attention to politics.

00:26:33.000 I'm looking at these shows, and I'm like, I really don't believe people are that into this show.

00:26:39.000 And it only got, I think, four seasons, which says to me, it was doing bad, people didn't like it, the media lies, try and make money, and then ultimately they cancel it because people weren't watching.

00:26:48.000 That's my opinion.

00:26:50.000 I don't know, Jack Murphy said he liked it.

00:26:52.000 Maybe that's just me then.

00:26:54.000 Hey guys, Josh Hammer here, the host of America on Trial with Josh Hammer, a podcast for the First Podcast Network.

00:27:00.000 Look, there are a lot of shows out there that are explaining the political news cycle, what's happening on the Hill, the this, the that.

00:27:07.000 There are no other shows that are cutting straight to the point when it comes to the unprecedented lawfare debilitating and affecting the 2024 presidential election.

00:27:16.000 We do all that every single day right here on America on Trial with Josh Hammer.

00:27:20.000 Subscribe and download your episodes wherever you get your podcasts.

00:27:23.000 It's America on Trial with Josh Hammer.

00:27:25.000 I don't think you're ever going to get truly anti-woke, sustainable anti-woke or like edgy stuff out of corporate media ever.

00:27:32.000 I mean, you already have broadcast things.

00:27:34.000 You can't say the F word.

00:27:35.000 You can't talk about this.

00:27:36.000 I can't joke about this on this show.

00:27:39.000 So it's really not like a comedy show where I can be free. 1.00

00:27:42.000 And corporations can be sold to some idiot. 0.99

00:27:45.000 So you need a decentralized way for the comedy to thrive, I think. 1.00

00:27:50.000 There are always limits.

00:27:51.000 People need to understand this too.

00:27:52.000 This is what gets lost in the free speech debate.

00:27:55.000 You can't go on Tucker Carlson's show and say a lot of things.

00:27:58.000 They'd ban you. 0.99

00:27:59.000 I think Jesse Kelly, was he the one who got... Or was it Michael Knowles?

00:28:02.000 It's not Tucker, it's Fox.

00:28:05.000 Yeah, if you go on Tucker's show with him that owns the network and owns the ISP, he could let you do whatever you want.

00:28:14.000 Look, the reason we don't swear on this show is not because YouTube's going to ban us for doing it.

00:28:18.000 Tons of people swear.

00:28:19.000 It's because we've gotten emails from people being like, hey, my kids are with me when the show's on.

00:28:24.000 Would you guys mind keeping the swears down? 0.99

00:28:26.000 It's a cultural choice.

00:28:27.000 We don't lose anything by not swearing.

00:28:29.000 And there are kids who are watching, and we really want younger people to hear the message

00:28:34.000 and be with their parents.

00:28:35.000 I'm like, that makes sense to me.

00:28:36.000 So we ask people, don't swear, but if you do, we're not gonna cry about it or anything.

00:28:40.000 It's a cultural choice.

00:28:41.000 Yeah, so the same thing is true for a lot of shows that will be like, hey, we have our limits

00:28:45.000 on what we're willing to, what buds are willing to listen.

00:28:46.000 But like in 2008, you could swear, and it was almost like the kids loved it.

00:28:50.000 And that was when Larry and Sergey owned the company.

00:28:52.000 And then they sold it.

00:28:53.000 I'm not talking about YouTube.

00:28:54.000 I'm talking about, we got an email.

00:28:56.000 We get emails periodically from back when we used to swear a lot more.

00:29:00.000 And they'd be like, hey man, big fans of the show.

00:29:02.000 I was watching last night with my, you know, husband and my kids.

00:29:04.000 But I'm a puritan.

00:29:05.000 And they were like, I just, you know, when you guys start swearing a lot, we like don't want our kids to hear that kind of language.

00:29:11.000 And then we're like, All right.

00:29:13.000 I understand.

00:29:13.000 We want to give proper values and manners to children, and we can do this show, and we can be something that people can listen to sometimes, because we do get spicy stories, when their kids are around.

00:29:26.000 I respect that.

00:29:26.000 I do.

00:29:27.000 And so we're like, try not to swear.

00:29:28.000 If you swear, it happens.

00:29:29.000 We're not going to cry about it.

00:29:30.000 I had a couple of those emails, too.

00:29:32.000 I remember calling Bill Gates a special name.

00:29:35.000 I can't name here.

00:29:37.000 And then I get an email saying that one of the viewer's toddlers was just repeating it.

00:29:43.000 And they're like, thanks.

00:29:47.000 Here's my favorite.

00:29:47.000 He's like, I'm not going to.

00:29:48.000 And then people were like, I'm not just going to watch your show.

00:29:50.000 I can't watch your show because of this.

00:29:52.000 So I understand that.

00:29:53.000 That's why family friendly show on my show as well.

00:29:55.000 Yeah, as long as we're getting the ideas across and we're able to talk about important subjects, I've got no problem with that.

00:30:00.000 Okay, we won't swear. 0.99

00:30:01.000 My favorite was when we were talking about a group of people that are all in a big circle together, and they're all patting each other on the back, complimenting each other for being jerks. 1.00

00:30:11.000 And it was a circle of jerks. 1.00

00:30:13.000 And we call it something else. 1.00

00:30:16.000 More adult.

00:30:16.000 And then I got a couple emails and one of them was like, Hey man, big fan.

00:30:21.000 I just had to spend the past 15 minutes after your show explaining to my kid what that meant. 0.92

00:30:27.000 And just wanted to let you know that when we're in the car and I'm taking my kids somewhere and we put the show on and I'm like, We'll say a circle of jerks all patting each other on the back instead of, you know, the other way to say it. 0.98

00:30:38.000 Self-congratulatory. 0.98

00:30:39.000 Yes.

00:30:39.000 When it comes to comedy, though, you can't let your audience decide how you run your show.

00:30:44.000 So this isn't a comedy show.

00:30:45.000 If it was, you know, take the censors off.

00:30:49.000 And that I agree with, too.

00:30:50.000 Like, when it comes to comedy, someone could be like, hey, man, you can't say that around me because I got kids.

00:30:53.000 Like, it's a comedy show.

00:30:54.000 You shouldn't bring your kids.

00:30:55.000 This is where we get, like, unless we're doing children's comedy.

00:30:58.000 Like, why did the chicken cross the road?

00:31:02.000 Funny joke.

00:31:02.000 It sure was.

00:31:04.000 I wouldn't watch that on YouTube anyway.

00:31:05.000 It'd be creepy.

00:31:06.000 Probably against, you know, whatever that new law is, that COPPA, whatever the heck it was.

00:31:10.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, the anti-kids thing.

00:31:11.000 Yeah, that everybody freaked out about.

00:31:13.000 I want to talk about Squid Game.

00:31:15.000 Yeah.

00:31:15.000 We should talk about Squid Game.

00:31:16.000 Yeah.

00:31:17.000 What about it?

00:31:17.000 So, I think Squid Game is...

00:31:21.000 I don't think it's overtly political.

00:31:23.000 Apparently, you know, you were telling me, Gary, that it was like, there's like a political message in Squid Game.

00:31:27.000 Yeah, the writer, at least that's what he said.

00:31:29.000 My takeaway from it was communism bad.

00:31:32.000 That was my takeaway from it.

00:31:34.000 Okay, so now I'm gonna say this, for those that are listening.

00:31:36.000 Spoiler alert, if you haven't finished Squid Game, it's an awesome show.

00:31:40.000 I prefer watching it in the original Korean with subtitles.

00:31:44.000 I think it's fantastic.

00:31:45.000 With the dub, you lose a lot of that reverb and natural sound.

00:31:49.000 It's kind of weird.

00:31:51.000 So, spoiler alert, I'm gonna say it again, we are going to spoil this show to the... To Kingdom Come.

00:31:57.000 To Kingdom Come!

00:31:58.000 There we go, spoiler alert.

00:32:00.000 So what was it about?

00:32:02.000 You mentioned that the creator had said something and it was like... The creator called it a fable for modern day capitalism, but also for life and the competitiveness of life.

00:32:13.000 And that message, it's not subtle at the end, which I won't ruin for anybody, but it's not subtle at the end.

00:32:20.000 And that messaging was there, and some people can't get past it, and I understand that, but I thought it was a damn good story.

00:32:27.000 What was the messaging?

00:32:29.000 What do you think the message conveyed?

00:32:32.000 Basically, it's a cold and cruel system.

00:32:35.000 In that fable, there is no resolution, except for at the end they create their own enemy, but that's what I got out of it.

00:32:45.000 Just for context, okay, because those of you that are sticking around, even though we told you spoilers are here, I'm gonna give you the quick breakdown of the show.

00:32:52.000 It's a bunch of desperate people in debt, and then all of a sudden they get an opportunity to play in a game, but the game is brutal and you die in it.

00:33:00.000 But if you don't, you win, I think it's like equivalent of US, like 35 to 40 million dollars, is the translation.

00:33:08.000 So it's like 45 billion Korean won or something.

00:33:11.000 Now we're going to get into, again, I warn you, spoilers. 0.96

00:33:15.000 I think the whole thing is the perfect example of somebody who thinks they're opposing capitalism, but just makes communism and wokeness look really, really dumb.

00:33:25.000 And the show ends up being, in my opinion, more anti-communist than anything.

00:33:29.000 So one of the big themes in the show is that everyone is equal.

00:33:33.000 They all enter the game as equals, and they're allowed to play as equals.

00:33:38.000 And there's an arc in the show where it's like, somebody violates the equality, and so they kill him.

00:33:43.000 And they were like, that's the worst thing you could have done, is strip the equality.

00:33:46.000 But now, here's how the show ends.

00:33:50.000 You've been warned.

00:33:52.000 In this equal system, everyone dies but one person who gets all of the money!

00:33:57.000 Okay, so that doesn't sound to me like capitalism.

00:34:00.000 In capitalism, we recognize not everybody is equal.

00:34:03.000 Not everybody does have an equal chance.

00:34:05.000 We do want equal opportunity, but some people are poor and some people are rich.

00:34:08.000 In this system, everyone is wearing the same clothes, in the same room, being brutalized by the powers, that ultimately results in one person having all the wealth and everyone dying.

00:34:17.000 That is not capitalism.

00:34:19.000 In capitalism, there's too much food. 0.87

00:34:21.000 People are morbidly obese, and there are homeless people who are fat. 0.70

00:34:25.000 In communism, everybody wears the same clothes, they have limited access to anything, they get garbage food every day. 0.94

00:34:32.000 They're like, okay, the game's over, here's the food you get, and they get trash.

00:34:35.000 And they're fighting each other because they're starving.

00:34:38.000 That, to me, is an indictment of communism. 0.91

00:34:40.000 And if this guy who made the show is actually like, it's actually capitalism that's bad, I'm like, it just goes to show this is a person who made a great show but was really dumb and didn't understand they were actually critiquing communism.

00:34:50.000 It's like they took them out of a capitalistic system where they were doing pretty bad to a communistic system where they were doing really, really bad and were executed by the state, which usually happens under communism. 0.61

00:35:02.000 For like childish whimsy!

00:35:03.000 Exactly.

00:35:04.000 And that's literally what happens under communism.

00:35:07.000 Look up what happened in China, what happened in Russia, what happened in Europe as well.

00:35:12.000 So there's a long history, there's a long context to people just being purged, taken away.

00:35:17.000 Another very interesting aspect of that story is the masks that the very rich people were wearing.

00:35:23.000 We're kind of similar to the same masks that the Rothschilds were pictured wearing at some of their private parties in Galveston a couple decades ago.

00:35:31.000 So I saw that right away.

00:35:32.000 I was like, wait, wait, wait, that's the elites doing this.

00:35:35.000 And, you know, I thought of the movie more of a critique.

00:35:39.000 about the ruling elites, because it's essentially, again, spoiler alert, rich people coming together

00:35:46.000 to watch the average poor people, struggling people, kill each other over money. And there's

00:35:53.000 some important kind of parallels there. The series is kind of gory, so if you're sensitive

00:36:00.000 to that stuff, I wouldn't watch it. I watched it, I was like, Tim, you gotta watch it. But

00:36:05.000 You watched it and it is very thought provoking.

00:36:08.000 It is very emotional.

00:36:10.000 What is this?

00:36:10.000 And it definitely pulls at the heartstrings in many different ways.

00:36:13.000 I looked this up, Luke, you ain't kidding.

00:36:15.000 What is this?

00:36:16.000 There's a bunch of photos from this Rothschild's party where they're all wearing these masks 1.00

00:36:20.000 that are similar to the Squid Game thing.

00:36:22.000 But that's probably what he was doing, the creator.

00:36:24.000 Yeah.

00:36:25.000 It was a guy, right, who created it?

00:36:26.000 I'm saying he.

00:36:27.000 Well, the story, I'm hearing a lot of different, I'm hearing a lot of different reports about this guy

00:36:30.000 saying that he lost a bunch of teeth because of the stress during the production of this movie.

00:36:35.000 I heard that he tried to get this movie done for years and it kept getting denied.

00:36:39.000 So.

00:36:40.000 The series you mean?

00:36:41.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, the series.

00:36:43.000 But yeah, I remember seeing those masks automatically thinking, wait, wait, wait,

00:36:47.000 I know I saw these masks before.

00:36:48.000 They're at the private gallows and private meetings of the super rich that already do take place

00:36:54.000 when you do look at the very powerful people in our world that manipulate the system for their own personal benefit.

00:37:00.000 Capitalism isn't the problem.

00:37:03.000 Communism doesn't exist.

00:37:04.000 It's just this idealized system.

00:37:06.000 We might as well call it unicornism.

00:37:08.000 The real problem is corruption and corporatism.

00:37:10.000 And the left says capitalism when they mean corporatism.

00:37:13.000 I think that's exactly the problem.

00:37:14.000 I think that's what he's doing with the masks.

00:37:16.000 He thinks that the Rothschilds embody capitalism.

00:37:18.000 They do not.

00:37:19.000 They embody elitism.

00:37:20.000 They're the biggest promoters and pushers of communism and destroyers of actual real free markets. 0.74

00:37:28.000 Another interesting aspect was the fat guy.

00:37:30.000 I mean, he looked almost exactly like Newt Gingrich.

00:37:33.000 I talked to Newt Gingrich a couple times. 0.91

00:37:35.000 I went up to him, asked him straight up to his face, What did you do at the Bohemian Grove when you shipped in specifically male prostitutes? 0.82

00:37:44.000 And he was sweating up a storm.

00:37:45.000 I did this like five times to him.

00:37:47.000 He really doesn't like being asked those questions.

00:37:48.000 But we got to understand here, there is some level of reality when it comes to super rich people coming together in the middle of the woods doing very weird things.

00:37:57.000 That does happen.

00:37:58.000 It's called the Bohemian Grove.

00:37:59.000 There's also other kind of secret societies and offshoots to these secret societies.

00:38:02.000 Remember when Bilderberg was a conspiracy theory?

00:38:04.000 Yeah, they said it didn't exist.

00:38:06.000 They said it didn't exist a few years ago.

00:38:08.000 And I was there at the meetings.

00:38:10.000 It's here.

00:38:10.000 It's happening.

00:38:11.000 They're like, no, he's crazy.

00:38:12.000 Remember when they sent that dude from The Guardian down?

00:38:14.000 He was really angry.

00:38:15.000 Charlie Skelton.

00:38:16.000 He came there to make fun.

00:38:17.000 He's now my friend.

00:38:18.000 Charlie Skelton was sent down By the Guardian to make fun of the people outside.

00:38:23.000 They sent him down there. 0.65

00:38:24.000 He's like, there's a bunch of loonies. 0.99

00:38:25.000 There's a bunch of crazies. 0.96

00:38:27.000 He literally got followed everywhere, assaulted by police officers.

00:38:30.000 They raided his hotel room.

00:38:32.000 They raided my hotel room.

00:38:33.000 The police officers acted like the Gestapo against any journalist trying to do any real reporting against the Bilderberg Group and he came out of it shook saying, hey, I thought these guys were crazy.

00:38:44.000 I came here to make fun of them.

00:38:45.000 These guys are honest.

00:38:46.000 I'm being followed by police everywhere I go, and they're literally trying to arrest me for just trying to take a photo of David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger walking down the street together.

00:38:56.000 I got arrested at Bilderberg way too many times, too.

00:38:58.000 They said it wasn't real.

00:39:00.000 They said it was a conspiracy theory.

00:39:00.000 Yeah, it doesn't exist.

00:39:01.000 And it's like you could literally just stand there and be like, here it is.

00:39:05.000 And they'd be like, sorry sir, it's a private event.

00:39:06.000 It's the Bilderberg, you know, group meeting.

00:39:08.000 And then you look in the newspaper and it's like, nope, not a real thing.

00:39:10.000 Yep, doesn't exist.

00:39:12.000 Crazy.

00:39:12.000 Yeah, I remember there being like, this is absolutely absurd.

00:39:16.000 But when really rich people do come together, they do really weird stuff.

00:39:20.000 And there's a lot of weird stuff that I even experienced at Bilderberg.

00:39:24.000 There's even weirder stuff happening at the Bohemian Grove.

00:39:26.000 And this is some of the stuff we know about.

00:39:28.000 What about the stuff we don't know about?

00:39:29.000 So I thought this was a perfect time to talk about the bigger elements of these elites who do very sinister things.

00:39:36.000 So that was me, the larger conversation of Squid Games.

00:39:39.000 But that's always, the criticism is always the corrupt elites.

00:39:42.000 I don't, you know, when they talk about like, oh, communism, they never actually implement it because it's not possible.

00:39:48.000 It's impossible to do.

00:39:49.000 And then when they criticize, when the left criticizes capitalism, they're really just angry there are elites with centralized power able to do really messed up things and get away with it because of how much power they've accumulated.

00:40:01.000 That's not what capitalism is supposed to represent either.

00:40:04.000 And the problem is, communism doesn't exist, right?

00:40:07.000 They say that, like, every time they try it, they get some weird form of, you know, genocidal authoritarianism.

00:40:13.000 Capitalism, at its root, is just people with capital from their work can reinvest that into making more projects.

00:40:20.000 However, in our current system, which mixes it, we end up with a lot of corruption, and then you get a left saying, aha, this proves capitalism doesn't work, and it's like, no, actually, the problem is the corruption.

00:40:30.000 I don't care who's doing it or why, corruption, bad.

00:40:33.000 When you use the power of government to destroy your competitors in the, quote, free market, that's not a free market.

00:40:40.000 That's communism.

00:40:41.000 That's government direct intervention into the free market.

00:40:44.000 That's preventing the market from being able to express itself, from being able to speak for itself.

00:40:49.000 Because usually, in the free market, if someone does something good, they get promoted, they get business, they get commerce, they get people going to them because they know that their reputation is good.

00:40:58.000 When you have multinational billionaire elites ... playing by different set of rules not paying taxes getting ... subsidies literally getting taxpayer-funded money getting ... bailouts and restrictions and rules that punish their ... competitors and only help them that is not a free market we ... don't have that we have multinational corporations ... globalists some people call them that are literally the ones ... calling the shots creating policies that screw you over ... while they get whatever they want for the grabbing.

00:41:26.000 I gotta bring it up again for the 800th time.

00:41:28.000 My friends, you've seen it in almost every segment I've done over the past few months.

00:41:32.000 Democrats in the civics poll believe the economy is good.

00:41:35.000 Republicans and independents think the economy is bad.

00:41:39.000 70% of independent voters believe the economy is to some degree bad, either fairly or extremely.

00:41:44.000 88% of Republicans say either fairly bad or very bad.

00:41:47.000 54% of Democrats say the economy is very good.

00:41:51.000 We got the story from Breitbart.

00:41:52.000 Consumer sentiment crashes as confidence in Biden economic policy, I'm sorry, collapses.

00:41:59.000 Breitbart says, the University of Michigan's preliminary October read of consumer sentiment fell to 71.4 from 72.8 in September.

00:42:07.000 Richard Curtin, the survey's chief economist, explained the downturn.

00:42:10.000 Consumer sentiment has remained for the past three months at the lows first recorded in response to the shutdown of the economy.

00:42:15.000 The Delta variant supply shortages, reduced labor force participation rates, will continue to dim the pace of consumer spending into 2022.

00:42:23.000 There's another less tangible factor that has contributed to the slump in optimism.

00:42:27.000 Confidence in government economic policies has significantly declined during the past six months.

00:42:33.000 So there you go, my friends.

00:42:34.000 There are people who are living in a cult.

00:42:36.000 They believe for some reason... I just... I literally don't understand how they think that things are going well.

00:42:44.000 We are being told by Jen Psaki that it's good that prices are going up because it means that things are being sold.

00:42:51.000 We saw that article that was like, inflation is actually a good thing.

00:42:54.000 It means you'll make more money.

00:42:55.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:42:55.000 It means you can't buy stuff.

00:42:56.000 It means your savings are being gutted.

00:42:59.000 This reminds me of Bernie saying that bread lines are a good thing.

00:43:02.000 That means there's a bunch of bread.

00:43:03.000 Like, no, you're wrong.

00:43:05.000 You're wrong about that.

00:43:05.000 People are waiting in line to eat.

00:43:07.000 It's a good thing.

00:43:08.000 Yeah.

00:43:09.000 Uh, we're in this weird limbo right now where everything is, we're still getting out of, uh, you know, the COVID economy.

00:43:17.000 Uh, I, I'm selling a house right now and the market is still good, but that, I mean, you can see- Can I buy it?

00:43:24.000 Yeah, sure.

00:43:26.000 It's in California.

00:43:27.000 Yeah, it's in California, but you can keep that.

00:43:30.000 Sorry.

00:43:30.000 Here's a question though.

00:43:31.000 Is, is, uh, is, so right now in rural areas, rural property is absolutely bonkers.

00:43:37.000 Yeah.

00:43:37.000 Like property that used to be a couple hundred grand is now going for like triple.

00:43:41.000 But what about in San Francisco?

00:43:42.000 Is it going down?

00:43:43.000 It hasn't going down yet.

00:43:44.000 It hasn't skyrocketed up.

00:43:46.000 San Francisco is, it's not the best test because they don't have a lot of inventory.

00:43:51.000 So when a house goes on, it's usually gone and it's bought up by a company usually.

00:43:56.000 Who in their right mind would move to San Francisco right now?

00:43:59.000 I don't know.

00:44:00.000 I don't know.

00:44:00.000 We just had a poll come out recently saying half the people, half of the residents want to leave.

00:44:06.000 You guys have poop all over your streets!

00:44:08.000 What's the deal?

00:44:09.000 That's not even an over-exaggeration.

00:44:11.000 It started drifting out into the outer streets.

00:44:14.000 It used to be just in the Tenderloin or on 6th.

00:44:16.000 It's like rolling down the street.

00:44:18.000 It's rolling down California Street going down 101, which they just blocked off because you can't drive on 101 anymore.

00:44:24.000 You can just ride a bike on it.

00:44:26.000 Or poop.

00:44:27.000 You can poop on it too if you like.

00:44:28.000 Nice. 0.91

00:44:29.000 Yeah, it's terrible.

00:44:30.000 It's terrible.

00:44:30.000 I've seen things in California I never thought I'd see.

00:44:33.000 I was in LA and I was going to a shopping center and then right in the middle of the street this large homeless woman just walked right in, spread her legs and squatted and just went to town. 1.00

00:44:45.000 And I was like, what is happening right now?

00:44:48.000 This is crazy.

00:44:49.000 Welcome to the city.

00:44:50.000 I remember doing a walk and talk that was unedited, and I was just walking down San Francisco, down where I think City Hall, is that it?

00:44:58.000 Or the State Capitol?

00:44:59.000 City Hall.

00:45:00.000 Where City Hall is.

00:45:01.000 It looks like a State Capitol.

00:45:02.000 And I saw a lot of people taking the vaccine on the streets.

00:45:06.000 Self-administered.

00:45:07.000 Self-administered.

00:45:08.000 And I saw a lot of different stuff.

00:45:10.000 But as I was filming, as I was walking, there was a lady screaming on the top of her lungs. 0.99

00:45:16.000 And I see police officers hear that and literally run the other way.

00:45:20.000 And I'm like, this is what's happening, one of America's biggest city with some of the highest rents.

00:45:24.000 How in the world do you live there?

00:45:26.000 Not for long.

00:45:27.000 I'm leaving.

00:45:27.000 I'm getting the hell out.

00:45:28.000 It was enough.

00:45:29.000 Are you able to tell us what options you're looking at?

00:45:34.000 Texas, any place in the country away from a city.

00:45:37.000 I don't want to live in a city at all anymore.

00:45:39.000 Smart move.

00:45:41.000 I grew up in San Diego, never had my car broken into.

00:45:44.000 Lived in San Francisco for 18 years, had my car broken into twice a year.

00:45:47.000 Wow.

00:45:48.000 Twice a year.

00:45:49.000 And my wife had hers broken into. 1.00

00:45:51.000 It's all the time.

00:45:52.000 There's always, have you considered Chicago?

00:45:56.000 No.

00:45:57.000 Surprisingly enough, no.

00:45:59.000 Nice city. 0.94

00:45:59.000 New York City is also very charming with, you know, a lot of people trying to stab you. 0.94

00:46:04.000 Big rats. 0.99

00:46:05.000 Big, huge rats. 0.76

00:46:06.000 They didn't oversell that one. 0.78

00:46:09.000 I couldn't believe it when I saw that.

00:46:10.000 But no, no cities.

00:46:11.000 I'm done with cities.

00:46:12.000 Sorry, go ahead.

00:46:13.000 It's a cult, dude.

00:46:13.000 I just the crime.

00:46:14.000 I don't know how they can say the economy is good when we have how many we have.

00:46:21.000 There's a help wanted sign in California everywhere.

00:46:24.000 Everywhere I go, every shopping center has at least five.

00:46:27.000 If it's not empty, it's a cult.

00:46:29.000 Yeah.

00:46:29.000 If it's not an empty building, it's a help wanted sign.

00:46:33.000 You go to the supermarket out here and there's a sticker on every other refrigerator door and on every aisle multiple times saying $500 sign on bonus.

00:46:42.000 And these people are just like, I think the economy is good.

00:46:45.000 I tried to go to a restaurant earlier today.

00:46:48.000 The first two all closed when it said it was open.

00:46:50.000 Yo, Waffle House is closed!

00:46:52.000 That scared me.

00:46:54.000 I've seen a lot of things.

00:46:56.000 I've seen people die before my eyes.

00:46:58.000 But when I saw Waffle House closed, my heart felt like it was being just strained.

00:47:03.000 It's real.

00:47:03.000 It's happening.

00:47:04.000 It's the end of the world.

00:47:05.000 True story, there is a Starbucks near my house that ran out of coffee because the supply line chain ran out of coffee and had to close.

00:47:16.000 I want to just gloat when I was saying like, hey, you should get emergency food a year ago because you never know.

00:47:20.000 Sometimes it rains, there could be a flood, the road might get closed, and you got to have some food and water in the closet you can pop up when you need it.

00:47:27.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:47:27.000 and all these lefties were like, ha ha, Tim's so dumb, 0.99

00:47:29.000 he's telling people to buy emergency food. 0.99

00:47:31.000 And now we're going on like year two of supply chain collapse.

00:47:34.000 Yeah.

00:47:35.000 Yep.

00:47:36.000 Well, you know, go to your store.

00:47:36.000 There's food.

00:47:37.000 I'm not saying people are starving right now, but I'll tell you this,

00:47:40.000 the prices for emergency food has like doubled or tripled.

00:47:42.000 Some shops don't sell them anymore.

00:47:44.000 So if you got it, you're good.

00:47:45.000 If you don't, oof.

00:47:46.000 And Bitcoin's through the roof.

00:47:48.000 What's it called?

00:47:49.000 I already made a list here.

00:47:50.000 Bitcoin's up.

00:47:51.000 Stocks, bonds, copper all up.

00:47:53.000 Confidence crashes near decades low.

00:47:55.000 As the Washington Post is literally writing articles that are entitled, America Needs Higher, Longer Lasting Inflation.

00:48:03.000 I mean, how more criminal could you get?

00:48:06.000 When you look at inflation, it predominantly makes people poor.

00:48:10.000 Already, the cost of living astronomically high.

00:48:13.000 The cost of food, higher than it ever has been for the average American.

00:48:17.000 And everything for the basic cost of living is going up.

00:48:20.000 Wages?

00:48:21.000 Staying the same.

00:48:22.000 What did they call it?

00:48:23.000 Was it Reuters?

00:48:23.000 They called it a Great Reboot?

00:48:24.000 Yeah, a Great Reboot.

00:48:27.000 No, for real.

00:48:27.000 Yeah, I think Reuters did, right?

00:48:28.000 Yeah, I think so.

00:48:29.000 The Great Reboot.

00:48:30.000 It's like, guys, we know what the Great Reset is.

00:48:33.000 We know the word.

00:48:34.000 Yo, man.

00:48:35.000 Bitcoin is what, like 62K?

00:48:39.000 Yeah.

00:48:39.000 Imagine how many people I remember, because we talked about it.

00:48:43.000 I'll just say this right away, like why Bitcoin works.

00:48:47.000 It's decentralized.

00:48:48.000 It is better than all the other cryptos, in my opinion.

00:48:51.000 And when you've got a failing U.S.

00:48:53.000 economy and failing U.S.

00:48:53.000 policy, Bitcoin is global and decentralized, so it's much, much more difficult to actually manipulate.

00:48:59.000 Now, a lot of people say, oh, but Elon Musk tweets and he manipulates it.

00:49:02.000 Nah, you don't get it.

00:49:03.000 We know what the real value of that coin is.

00:49:06.000 And basically, right now, that means you're buying at a discount.

00:49:08.000 I don't know exactly.

00:49:08.000 I remember when it hit 60, and a bunch of people were like, oh, you know, it's a bubble, and then it fell down to 30,

00:49:15.000 and they started saying, like, see, that proves it.

00:49:17.000 And I'm sitting back like, okay, sell your Bitcoin then.

00:49:19.000 And they did, and poor people were selling.

00:49:21.000 Now it's back up over 60.

00:49:23.000 It's its highest point, isn't it?

00:49:25.000 I don't know exactly.

00:49:27.000 I have to double check that to make sure I'm accurate.

00:49:30.000 $61,351 per coin.

00:49:31.000 $351 per coin.

00:49:34.000 Not quite the highest.

00:49:35.000 It looks like it was close.

00:49:38.000 63 or something.

00:49:40.000 Still.

00:49:40.000 I mean, April of 2021.

00:49:41.000 Yeah, 63 in April 15th.

00:49:44.000 So, but yeah, essentially it's where it was.

00:49:48.000 It's at about its highest point again.

00:49:50.000 People need to understand this is a sign not of, this is not good news.

00:49:54.000 Okay.

00:49:55.000 If you are, if you're a cryptocurrency holder, what this really means is your dollars are becoming worthless.

00:49:59.000 Yeah.

00:49:59.000 So back in November, we had Bill Ottman on the show, and he was like, yo, buy Ethereum.

00:50:05.000 And I was like, OK.

00:50:07.000 And so I bought some more Bitcoin and Ethereum, and then within a few months, it was at $30K, and I was like, whoa.

00:50:11.000 Lumber went up at basically the same rate.

00:50:14.000 So what I think is actually happening is when Bitcoin skyrockets like this, what it really means is not that it's getting more valuable, but the dollar is getting less valuable.

00:50:22.000 Now they're saying, I saw one report, the dollar will lose half its value in the next decade or so, next 13 years.

00:50:28.000 Sit on that money, sit on that money.

00:50:30.000 It has to.

00:50:31.000 I mean, how much did they print over the last two years?

00:50:34.000 Like six trillion, I think.

00:50:35.000 Yeah.

00:50:36.000 I mean, four to six trillion.

00:50:37.000 Even though arguably it's still BS, the dollar's not based on anything and it's just a big joke at this point.

00:50:45.000 But when you print that much over the last year, it has to fall.

00:50:49.000 And they've been kicking the can down the road for, I mean, longer than I've ever seen in my lifetime.

00:50:54.000 I've seen economies come and go.

00:50:56.000 Nothing's been like this.

00:50:58.000 Uh, but yeah, anytime he's like, even before the internet, anytime you start seeing some old guy trying to sell you gold, you know, the, well, we're about to go into a recession.

00:51:06.000 Uh, and like the same thing is happening here, except the new gold is Bitcoin, but, and it might be a, I would recommend it, uh, or financial advice, no financial advice.

00:51:16.000 I don't know anything.

00:51:17.000 I used to own a comic store, but I keep a lot of cash in my safe.

00:51:21.000 Um, that's where, that's what I do because I'm not really sure.

00:51:25.000 I mean, it.

00:51:27.000 I don't know how bad it's going to get.

00:51:28.000 This is the worst I've ever seen it.

00:51:31.000 And since the shoe hasn't dropped yet, and it's going to be, it's only a matter of time, really.

00:51:39.000 I don't know.

00:51:39.000 I think it's going to get worse than people realize.

00:51:42.000 Demand is about to spike for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

00:51:45.000 And with already constrained supply lines, that could snap it.

00:51:49.000 Yeah, totally.

00:51:50.000 Travel already, super expensive.

00:51:52.000 And, you know, we talk about how the VAX mandates are really bad, but a lot of people aren't talking about how the Biden administration literally wants to pass a $3.5 trillion bill, which one of the provisions is a surveillance bill where the Biden administration will be literally looking at everyone's bank accounts to make sure that everyone's paying the IRS if they have over $600 in their bank accounts.

00:52:15.000 I mean, this is a massive surveillance bill.

00:52:18.000 This is a massive incursion into people's personal liberties, people's personal freedoms, and they're going to be paying for this bill by taxing everyone over $600 when they print the money out of thin air?

00:52:29.000 Tax the poor!

00:52:30.000 It's insane.

00:52:31.000 It just seems cruel.

00:52:33.000 It's more cruel than logical, in my opinion.

00:52:35.000 I completely agree.

00:52:36.000 And nobody's talking about it.

00:52:38.000 Nobody's upset about it.

00:52:40.000 You should be very, very upset about this.

00:52:44.000 The Democrats in their bill, in their spending bill, want access to the income and outgoing money from your bank account if you have at least $600.

00:52:52.000 Yeah.

00:52:53.000 And Nancy Pelosi and Janet Yellen are literally arguing, saying, this is going to get the billionaires, guys.

00:52:57.000 This is going to go after the billionaires.

00:52:59.000 Because billionaires have accounts with 600 bucks.

00:53:01.000 Yeah.

00:53:02.000 This is going to go after what they've been after the whole time, the middle class. 0.99

00:53:05.000 They've always been after the middle class. 0.98

00:53:06.000 When you hear tax the rich, it's tax the middle class.

00:53:09.000 You can tax all the rich people you want.

00:53:10.000 It's not going to make a difference.

00:53:11.000 A lot of the multi-billionaire corporations, a lot of these super wealthy people call for more taxes, call for more regulations because it will destroy their competitors as, of course, they save their money in a lot of different safe havens.

00:53:26.000 Like Panama?

00:53:27.000 They're fine.

00:53:28.000 As you are literally paying every single dime, every single penny, which the IRS knows exactly how much you owe.

00:53:34.000 You make a mistake, they'll send you a bill right away saying, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:53:37.000 We know exactly how much you owe.

00:53:40.000 You understated your taxes.

00:53:43.000 Why not just tell people if you're going to be doing that anyway?

00:53:45.000 But you're going to have to pay every little last cent of this to go into a hole that literally is going into nowhere.

00:53:52.000 Meanwhile, the multinational corporations get to do whatever they want.

00:53:56.000 Play by a different set of rules as you're getting screwed every single day and your dollar that you worked hard for is being devalued right in front of your eyes. 0.93

00:54:05.000 Inflation is a tax on your savings and holy cow are they taxing the crap out of you. 0.66

00:54:09.000 But Bitcoin is a hedge against that.

00:54:13.000 I'm not giving anybody advice, but I'll tell you this.

00:54:14.000 I'm particularly happy with my purchase of Bitcoin over the past several years.

00:54:18.000 I remember when it was at, like, $1,300 or whatever, several years ago.

00:54:24.000 And I was thinking to myself, like, dude, I just wish I would have bought when it was a couple hundred bucks.

00:54:29.000 And then I was like, I'll just buy some now.

00:54:32.000 I'll just put some of my savings into it.

00:54:34.000 And boy, was that a good idea.

00:54:37.000 And Luke and I were talking about this the other day, when I was like, Bitcoin's going to hit a million bucks.

00:54:42.000 And then Luke was like, and then we're going to be thinking back to when it was at 60 and being like,

00:54:46.000 why didn't we buy when it was at 60? And that was a joke I made.

00:54:50.000 If you look at the trends, some people are projecting 200k in the next month or two.

00:54:55.000 I think so. I do. I do. I don't know.

00:54:57.000 But if you look at the trends, similar trends happening, it should spike.

00:55:02.000 And Max Keiser also called it.

00:55:04.000 And he's been within margin of his predictions quite a bit.

00:55:08.000 I'll just put it this way, man.

00:55:08.000 I don't got advice on anybody other than the U.S.

00:55:10.000 dollar is becoming worthless.

00:55:12.000 Yeah, your $20, if they raise the minimum wage to $20 an hour, it'll be worth $10.

00:55:17.000 Exactly.

00:55:17.000 So yeah, that's just what you said.

00:55:21.000 The dollar is worthless right now.

00:55:22.000 You know the Big Mac Index, I think they call it?

00:55:24.000 You ever hear that?

00:55:25.000 Yes.

00:55:26.000 They gauge the strength of economy by a working class person's ability to buy a Big Mac, something like that.

00:55:31.000 And so it's like, how many hours do you have to work to purchase a Big Mac?

00:55:35.000 And so they'll look at a bunch of countries, and for a lot of countries, it's like, you gotta work four or five hours to get one Big Mac.

00:55:39.000 That's a bad economy.

00:55:40.000 In the United States, it's like, you can work for one hour and actually get two Big Macs.

00:55:43.000 Yeah.

00:55:44.000 So it's a good economy.

00:55:45.000 Right now, if a Big Mac costs five bucks, and you're getting 10 bucks an hour, you're getting two Big Macs an hour.

00:55:53.000 But if they increase the minimum wage, what's really gonna happen is that Big Mac's gonna go up in cost, and you're still gonna be getting two Big Macs per hour.

00:56:00.000 The amount of money you make is not relevant to the cost of the materials and the labor to produce the product.

00:56:05.000 The left doesn't get it.

00:56:06.000 There is one benefit, though, when it comes to imports, because raising the wages in the United States won't change imported goods from other countries, which maybe they're trying to do, hoping that, okay, the economy's collapsing, but what if, like, your computer was cheaper because everyone or not cheaper but you're making more money now you can afford to get it the computers are still going to get expensive but they're hoping they can like outpace the the important goods as they outsource more and more of our manufacturing and products overseas

00:56:33.000 So this just sounds to me like we're giving more of our power to countries overseas.

00:56:37.000 So that's not good, first of all.

00:56:38.000 Second of all, I'm very glad that you guys' Bitcoin investment are going up.

00:56:42.000 But at the same time, that terrifies me because it lets me know that everything that I'm earning and everything I'm doing trying to pay off my own debts, it's for nothing.

00:56:49.000 The value of my dollar is falling.

00:56:51.000 No, that's good.

00:56:51.000 Your debt's becoming worthless, too.

00:56:52.000 That's great.

00:56:53.000 So it's like I was saying, so this is what the U.S.

00:56:55.000 does, though.

00:56:56.000 The U.S.

00:56:57.000 purposefully inflates so that the debt they owe is worth less.

00:57:01.000 So if 20 bucks can buy you two cheeseburgers and let's say I borrow 20 bucks from you to buy two cheeseburgers, I owe you the equivalent of two meals.

00:57:12.000 I wait until inflation hits and the 20 bucks can only buy one cheeseburger.

00:57:16.000 And then I'm going to pay you back one when you gave me two.

00:57:18.000 You see how that works?

00:57:19.000 That's the trick.

00:57:20.000 China is also implementing a very similar policy.

00:57:22.000 They've been acting like they have blank checkbooks and they've been writing checks all over Africa, all over Latin America, and buying a lot of influence, buying a lot of resources, buying a lot of manufacturing, buying a lot of relationships that slowly and surely are overtaking the United States in their sphere of influence in those particular regions.

00:57:42.000 So it's very interesting to see China implement the same role but instead of just giving it

00:57:47.000 to multinational corporations they're using it to build their country to make sure that

00:57:52.000 they have enough natural resources for their people as They're of course more of a nationalistic government.

00:57:58.000 Meanwhile, our government keeps selling us out every single day. Yep, and

00:58:02.000 It gets rooted on By more than half the country every day and that's the

00:58:07.000 thing we have to fight is that influence in that that apathy or either

00:58:12.000 Rootin for one team or that apathy And we see it all throughout our culture.

00:58:17.000 And yeah, I worry about the future.

00:58:20.000 I've got kids.

00:58:22.000 I'm going to buy a, you know, buying a house soon.

00:58:24.000 I don't, like, I have no idea what we're getting into.

00:58:26.000 That's why I just, I think it's a good time to not give up, but like, fortify your future.

00:58:33.000 Fortify your future, if you can, by getting out of a city.

00:58:37.000 But not everybody can.

00:58:40.000 And the one thing I learned through COVID was I never paid attention to local elections.

00:58:47.000 San Francisco is a waste of time, but that's something I'm going to pay attention to every day now.

00:58:54.000 Every time, everywhere I move, I'm going to know who the dog catcher is.

00:58:57.000 I'm going to know who everybody who lords over me is.

00:59:01.000 I want to know everything about them.

00:59:03.000 And that's where I can make the change.

00:59:05.000 I don't know if it's gonna work, but I wanna know.

00:59:09.000 I gotta show you guys what I think is one of the funniest stories I've seen in the economic collapse.

00:59:13.000 This is from the Salt Lake Tribune.

00:59:15.000 Shipping container apartments opening delayed by global shortages, developer says.

00:59:20.000 Hilarious.

00:59:21.000 Okay, okay.

00:59:22.000 This is hilarious.

00:59:23.000 The cost of a shipping container is skyrocketing.

00:59:26.000 The cost of transporting it is going way up.

00:59:29.000 They tried to make low-income housing out of shipping containers, and now they can't open it.

00:59:35.000 This is like a firetruck on fire, isn't it?

00:59:37.000 It's like the perfect definition of irony.

00:59:39.000 I know!

00:59:39.000 We'll use shipping containers to create large, cheap, you know, low-income housing, and now the shipping containers are spiking, so they can't even do that.

00:59:46.000 This is the perfect economic collapse story.

00:59:49.000 I saw this, I couldn't, I just, wow.

00:59:51.000 I've been doing some research on them.

00:59:53.000 They're expensive to transport, which is why they're not the best thing to do.

00:59:57.000 And also, you don't know if they're going to be dirty or if they shipped toxic chemicals.

01:00:02.000 There's no insulation.

01:00:03.000 Once you insulate them on the inside, they become much smaller.

01:00:06.000 They're only like eight and a half to nine and a half feet high anyway.

01:00:08.000 Six feet wide.

01:00:09.000 And that was in Salt Lake City, where it gets pretty cold.

01:00:11.000 Look at this!

01:00:12.000 This is crazy!

01:00:14.000 Imagine living in that.

01:00:16.000 Have you guys seen Ready Player One?

01:00:17.000 It's a pod.

01:00:18.000 It's how they live in the stacks.

01:00:20.000 That's what it is!

01:00:21.000 That's exactly what it is.

01:00:24.000 These are up in San Francisco.

01:00:26.000 They have them.

01:00:28.000 Look, I love the idea of getting a shipping container for yourself and burying it and having a little clubhouse or something.

01:00:34.000 Or doing a tiny house.

01:00:36.000 But this is the stacks.

01:00:37.000 This is what we've been like...

01:00:40.000 This is 1984 when the guy lives in that crappy little concrete cubicle.

01:00:44.000 Welcome to your dystopian nightmare.

01:00:46.000 You will own nothing and you will be happy.

01:00:48.000 In California you can only get single-use containers, like one shipment version containers, but everywhere else apparently you can have like, they can transport, transport, transport, animal blood, you know, phosphorus, you don't know what's gonna be in it, what you're gonna be breathing in.

01:01:01.000 So I would, at this point, recommend do not, at least go look into it, but it seems a lot worse than I thought it was.

01:01:08.000 I was just watching Ready Player One the other day, and when I saw this I was like, oh man.

01:01:13.000 It's like all the mobile homes are like stacked, you know?

01:01:16.000 And people live in these really awful conditions.

01:01:19.000 Well, this is what you're gonna get.

01:01:20.000 I gotta be honest, these shipping containers are probably better living than New York bachelor apartments.

01:01:26.000 Have you seen how bad New York is?

01:01:28.000 I've been there once, and it was, well, recently.

01:01:32.000 They've got apartments that are like, that's a closet.

01:01:35.000 Yeah.

01:01:35.000 And there's like, there's no bathroom.

01:01:36.000 You gotta share a bathroom. 1.00

01:01:37.000 I used to live in one of those.

01:01:37.000 It's the same as San Francisco then.

01:01:39.000 So for a studio in San Francisco was $3,500 a month to $4,000 a month to rent.

01:01:46.000 Why?

01:01:47.000 That is a good question.

01:01:49.000 Especially after, you know, before... How does someone afford to live there?

01:01:54.000 Wow.

01:01:54.000 Pooping in the streets?

01:01:56.000 They go broke, they eat a lot of fricking cup of soup, making $100,000 a year and pooping in the street.

01:02:01.000 I have no idea.

01:02:02.000 Well, they make a lot, there's a lot of money floating around that town

01:02:04.000 and there was in 2019.

01:02:06.000 Best economy I've ever seen.

01:02:08.000 The Trump economy.

01:02:09.000 In my lifetime, the amount of money that was going through San Francisco in particular,

01:02:15.000 with the big tech, they're all centered there.

01:02:17.000 Patreon's there, Twitter's there, in downtown.

01:02:21.000 Yeah, and houses are expensive.

01:02:26.000 There's always been money rolling through there, and there's always a million people.

01:02:31.000 This is before, prior to COVID, but there was a million people a day that would just travel into San Francisco.

01:02:36.000 So the population doubled.

01:02:39.000 Uh, on every business day and I, I, I've never been able to explain like a normal house.

01:02:44.000 I don't know how a, a, a gardener lives in San Francisco and he must've bought his house 30 years ago.

01:02:51.000 Maybe it's like 10 gardeners all sharing one studio.

01:02:54.000 Maybe?

01:02:55.000 And they all just like, sleep in bunk beds.

01:02:58.000 It's like good amenities, um, nice weather.

01:03:00.000 You probably know better than I do.

01:03:02.000 And then you got the mountains to the north.

01:03:04.000 Uh, in the east you have like, what's the city?

01:03:06.000 You have the Sausalitos up north, but then you got like kind of suburbian, beautiful farmland to the east.

01:03:13.000 You know, you got the 101, the PCH.

01:03:15.000 So it's located in a nice spot and the temperature's incredible.

01:03:18.000 If you're down low in the hills, it's cooler, and then you go up and it gets really warm, like, up above when the sun's hitting you.

01:03:25.000 Yeah, I've never loved city living.

01:03:27.000 So I've never really gotten my head right why people would want to be that close to people.

01:03:31.000 And I lived there for 18 years.

01:03:34.000 And I know you've lived in cities before.

01:03:37.000 I don't know what attracted people to it originally.

01:03:40.000 It's just it sounds like the worst thing in the world.

01:03:43.000 And I always think there is that for if you're in your 20s and 30s, I get it.

01:03:48.000 As a family guy, I don't.

01:03:51.000 You're not taking your kids to the Tenderloin in San Francisco.

01:03:56.000 I moved there in 2016 for a year.

01:03:58.000 Paid $3,000 a month for a one-bedroom.

01:04:01.000 And they were trying to sell me mushrooms on the street when I would walk around.

01:04:03.000 That was something interesting.

01:04:05.000 But other than that, I never left the house.

01:04:08.000 My car got broken into the day I went down there to look for apartments.

01:04:10.000 I had my backpack in my back seat.

01:04:12.000 Came out and the window was shattered.

01:04:13.000 It was gone.

01:04:13.000 That was rough.

01:04:15.000 Strong start.

01:04:16.000 It's, it was terrible.

01:04:17.000 I think it's an illusion.

01:04:18.000 I think a lot of people, I mean, like there's parts of it that were beautiful.

01:04:21.000 There was parts of it that were nice and there were parts of it that were fun, but I think a lot of it is an illusion.

01:04:25.000 People build this up.

01:04:26.000 New York is this fabulous city.

01:04:28.000 San Francisco.

01:04:29.000 New York smells like sour milk.

01:04:30.000 Yeah, it does.

01:04:31.000 It's all based on pre-internet living before you could get everything shipped to you.

01:04:35.000 At Will, you could only find cool jewelry in the jewelry district in Manhattan.

01:04:39.000 Now you just order it online.

01:04:41.000 They make it and send it to you from Japan or wherever, Malaysia. 0.98

01:04:44.000 China.

01:04:48.000 Everybody had to say it.

01:04:49.000 Yep.

01:04:50.000 China.

01:04:51.000 I think, well, and then the mom and pop capitalism, which I love, is dead.

01:04:55.000 Yeah, you sold your... So you had a comic shop in San Francisco?

01:04:59.000 Yep.

01:04:59.000 What was the whole process of starting it and then selling it?

01:05:02.000 Oh, it was, God, it was great.

01:05:03.000 This was back in 2003 when I bought it.

01:05:06.000 It was, hey, I want to buy your comic store.

01:05:09.000 And the guy said, yeah.

01:05:10.000 And we signed one piece of paper.

01:05:13.000 And that was it.

01:05:14.000 And you can't do that now.

01:05:16.000 And the landlord was cool.

01:05:18.000 I got lucky.

01:05:19.000 He was an old guy.

01:05:20.000 He liked me.

01:05:21.000 And he gave me, he said, a thousand bucks a month.

01:05:24.000 And he only raised it 25 bucks in 10 years.

01:05:26.000 And he felt bad when he did it.

01:05:28.000 You can't do that now.

01:05:29.000 Once the heirs take over, as time went on, the city got more intrusive to the point where they did a point of sale purchase tax through the food and health.

01:05:41.000 I don't even know how they wanted to get into my taxes then that they wanted.

01:05:44.000 So I just got rid of the point of sale purchase.

01:05:45.000 I'm like, I don't have it anymore.

01:05:47.000 So you can't tax me.

01:05:48.000 And I was having to submit it.

01:05:50.000 And it was a way for them to look at that.

01:05:52.000 And that's their way to sneaking in and looking at your taxes, the city.

01:05:55.000 So they started doing more and more intrusive stuff like that.

01:05:58.000 No more parking bikes everywhere.

01:06:00.000 You can't you can't drive anywhere.

01:06:02.000 Public transportation got more more expensive.

01:06:05.000 Crime went up.

01:06:07.000 My place got broken into a couple of times.

01:06:09.000 They couldn't get in, but it got broken into.

01:06:10.000 It was like regular.

01:06:12.000 Front window's broken.

01:06:13.000 Front door's broken.

01:06:14.000 And it just got worse and worse and worse over time.

01:06:16.000 So it did start out nice.

01:06:17.000 So, but you no longer have this comic shop.

01:06:19.000 No, I sold it.

01:06:20.000 I sold it back in 2013.

01:06:22.000 I'm happy I did.

01:06:24.000 My wife owned a business in San Francisco for two, well she had two salons and it went to one for 15 years. 0.96

01:06:30.000 And she did great.

01:06:31.000 She did fine.

01:06:32.000 But she had to deal later on.

01:06:33.000 There was a homeless guy sleeping in the front door every day.

01:06:37.000 And you can't just scoop him up and get rid of him.

01:06:40.000 You can't call the cops.

01:06:41.000 They won't come and get him anymore.

01:06:43.000 San Francisco, if it's... This was before they changed the $900.

01:06:47.000 You can go and steal $900 with the stuff.

01:06:49.000 And they won't prosecute you?

01:06:50.000 They will not prosecute you.

01:06:51.000 20 years before that, if they broke into your car, they did something that was even short of being violent, you just went online and you filled out a form and they might come.

01:07:01.000 My friend Kelly Cutler was working with the homeless up there and said that every morning at 4 a.m.

01:07:05.000 they'll bring like a fire truck or something down the street and just fire hose the homeless people and make it so that they get off the street.

01:07:12.000 What?

01:07:13.000 Are you serious?

01:07:14.000 No.

01:07:15.000 I mean, I've been to water canyons before at protests.

01:07:18.000 That's pretty severe.

01:07:19.000 I doubt... I don't know.

01:07:21.000 Let's look up the sources to that.

01:07:22.000 Have you ever seen that?

01:07:23.000 In San Francisco, you said?

01:07:24.000 I haven't seen that.

01:07:25.000 You've never seen that?

01:07:26.000 No, I've never seen them leave a street.

01:07:28.000 It would have to be like Obama coming through or something like that.

01:07:31.000 That was back in the day, but they are a constant force all the time, especially down on 6th and the Tenderloin, which I brought up, but it's spread out because they gave them cash.

01:07:41.000 For the longest time, San Francisco gave them cash.

01:07:44.000 That's how they're fighting drugs. 0.89

01:07:47.000 They give them clean needles and cash money once a month.

01:07:50.000 I'm going to get in touch with Kelly and see if I can get her evidence on this, because that's where I heard all about this from, and then I'll bring it on the show.

01:07:56.000 Maybe we can talk about it next week.

01:07:57.000 It was when I heard that they would be hosing the homeless, because they couldn't get them to move otherwise without getting violent.

01:08:03.000 I forgot what they did when, this was a long time ago, but when Obama would go there quite often for a fundraiser and every time he came in they just bought him bus tickets.

01:08:13.000 It's like that South Park episode, you ever see it?

01:08:16.000 Where all the homeless people come to South Park so then they get a bus and they get all the homeless people to go to Venice.

01:08:24.000 That's what they do.

01:08:25.000 Didn't Giuliani do that or something?

01:08:26.000 I think it was a concert or something.

01:08:28.000 No, no, on South Park they sing the song, they're like, in the city, city of Venice, right next to Matt's house.

01:08:35.000 That was a funny line, I love that one.

01:08:36.000 Because Matt Stone lives there.

01:08:40.000 They've been doing that for a long time, giving them bus tickets to get out of there, but they stopped doing it in California because they're like, it's great, it's great here, we get cash, we get needles, why would we want to leave?

01:08:49.000 Ever.

01:08:50.000 Yeah, I worked for a homeless shelter in California and people don't understand what causes it.

01:08:58.000 They just don't get it.

01:08:59.000 And it's really, really frustrating when you have these bleeding heart types who are just like, why can't we just take a house and then put the homeless in it?

01:09:07.000 And they do this thing where you'll see like high level progressive, like famous progressives be like, there are more empty homes in America than homeless people.

01:09:14.000 And I'm like, Okay, and?

01:09:16.000 That's a non sequitur.

01:09:17.000 The reason that homeless people are homeless has nothing to do with an empty house.

01:09:21.000 It has everything to do with many of these individuals choosing to be homeless.

01:09:25.000 I hear a lot that mental illness is the cause of homelessness.

01:09:28.000 It is.

01:09:29.000 It is a cause.

01:09:30.000 But my experience, the biggest cause that I experienced, was people saying, I want to be homeless.

01:09:36.000 They enjoy living outside.

01:09:38.000 They don't have to worry about much.

01:09:40.000 People are giving them food and money.

01:09:41.000 Fresh air.

01:09:42.000 But it's not even that.

01:09:43.000 It's like they don't care they're under a bridge.

01:09:46.000 They don't care.

01:09:47.000 You go to them and say, look, there are a lot of homeless people who are definitely in hard times who want to get out of that, right?

01:09:52.000 Who want to find a place to live.

01:09:54.000 But my experience, most of them were just like, I don't mind sleeping under a bridge.

01:09:57.000 Why should I get a job?

01:09:59.000 People give me free food all the time.

01:10:01.000 So I go to sleep, wake up, walk around, get free food, go back to my bridge and go to sleep.

01:10:06.000 How you solve for that, I honestly don't know.

01:10:09.000 You can't.

01:10:10.000 You can't.

01:10:11.000 I mean, you've seen it, but there's three types of homeless people.

01:10:15.000 There is the one who wants to be homeless, there is the mentally ill, and then there's drugs.

01:10:21.000 Drugs is the vast majority, and ever since the opioid crisis, it's doubled, tripled, quadrupled.

01:10:27.000 The amount of deaths in San Francisco eclipsed the amount of... I would say this.

01:10:33.000 There are the legitimate trope of homelessness that the left thinks someone down on their luck, hard times, loses their home.

01:10:40.000 That exists, definitely.

01:10:41.000 And there's a lot.

01:10:42.000 A lot of people like that.

01:10:42.000 I've met many people like that, but it was not the majority.

01:10:44.000 It was like 1 in 10.

01:10:45.000 Yeah.

01:10:46.000 And that may be generous, 1 in 10.

01:10:48.000 Most people that we encountered would say something like get away from me. 1.00

01:10:52.000 I'm not going anywhere near your stupid shelter. 0.89

01:10:54.000 I want to be homeless Yeah, they wouldn't say it specifically like I want to be homeless They would be like I don't want to have anything to do with your garbage And if they ever did come in they'd come in for like clean clothes a shower and leave right away Yeah, I don't know the exact story on this, but when everything was locked down, they let homeless people into a hotel or a couple hotels in San Francisco. 0.99

01:11:16.000 There was a death in two weeks.

01:11:18.000 There were fires inside.

01:11:19.000 They were caught dealing drugs within a week.

01:11:22.000 It was just a complete S-show.

01:11:25.000 And they had to continue it, because they couldn't, like, how bad would that look if they stopped it?

01:11:30.000 But there was cops there all the time, and the hotels, like, wishing they hadn't have done it.

01:11:35.000 So I would love to find a solution to homelessness, but that means arresting homeless people.

01:11:42.000 In Northern California, they announced that they would intern homeless people if they were deemed not mentally fit.

01:11:47.000 Oh, I saw that.

01:11:48.000 Yeah, they would take their paychecks or any money they had coming in and seize it and then lock them up.

01:11:53.000 That's the only, like, that's the simple solution.

01:11:55.000 Because I tell you this, when you go up to homeless people and say, here's a house, and they go, no, what do you do?

01:12:01.000 Are you going to drag them into the house and lock them in?

01:12:03.000 Because that's, you're going to have to, these people don't understand. 0.99

01:12:05.000 These leftists are naive.

01:12:07.000 They think everyone assumes the world, they think everyone thinks the way they do. 0.52

01:12:11.000 They don't realize that people believe different things.

01:12:14.000 They think every conservative is a grifter because how could you possibly believe that, say, Jesus is a son of God or something like that?

01:12:20.000 I don't believe it, therefore they don't either, and they're lying. 0.99

01:12:22.000 Or they're crazy.

01:12:23.000 It's like, yo, you are not the arbiter of truth and morality. 0.79

01:12:26.000 You don't know what you're talking about.

01:12:27.000 This is what makes it so hard to actually solve these problems.

01:12:30.000 The arrogance.

01:12:32.000 Exactly.

01:12:33.000 And judging the world by their own standards all the time, you're not going to save everybody.

01:12:39.000 I mean, you know, what's that saying?

01:12:41.000 That the left sees the world for what they want to see out of the world and the right sees it for what it is.

01:12:47.000 I don't know if it's a correct saying.

01:12:48.000 I don't even know if I said that right.

01:12:50.000 Well, you made it up if you didn't.

01:12:51.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:12:52.000 I mean, you're not going to save everybody.

01:12:56.000 It doesn't mean you don't try, but as far as the homeless problem, it's not something you can throw money at.

01:13:02.000 It's like the drug war. 0.92

01:13:04.000 That was ridiculous. 0.94

01:13:05.000 It's the same thing. 0.98

01:13:06.000 You're going to have to fight the problem at home.

01:13:10.000 There's hobos.

01:13:11.000 There's a whole culture of people.

01:13:13.000 Do you know what hobo means?

01:13:15.000 You know, hobo, vagrant, bum, vagabond, all different things. 0.82

01:13:20.000 Vagabond is the obvious one. 0.76

01:13:21.000 That's like a wanderer, a traveler.

01:13:23.000 But I learned this.

01:13:24.000 Hobo is a person who is looking for odd jobs and is just passing through.

01:13:31.000 It means homeward bound.

01:13:33.000 Oh, no.

01:13:33.000 Interesting. So I hope I know that when you'd see the cartoon of the guy with the stick with the thing in it

01:13:38.000 It's because he's going back I guess the idea was people would go out looking for work

01:13:41.000 and then when they failed they would start heading back taking odd jobs

01:13:44.000 Along the way so they didn't have any place to live They didn't have a job, but they were looking for some work

01:13:49.000 hobo and then bums I think were people who are like around the town not

01:13:52.000 working Vagrants were usually like unable or unwilling to like you 1.00

01:13:58.000 know It's like a typically a negative like layabout and then vagabond

01:14:01.000 was just somebody without any direction There's traveling around doing whatever interesting. Yeah,

01:14:06.000 I've been called that a couple times Yeah, that was not really derogatory. That one's just like

01:14:11.000 you're a wanderer and again You can only get hurt if you give power to words

01:14:16.000 I'm seeing another story on Twitter.

01:14:18.000 I don't know if we're ready for a transition, but I'm seeing a pretty wild story that I definitely want to talk about, but we can still continue on the subject if you want.

01:14:26.000 Well, you want to give your final thoughts on the homelessness thing?

01:14:28.000 You didn't really chime in, but then I'll pull up whatever.

01:14:30.000 A lot of people are like, let Gary speak, so I'm trying to, you know, give as much.

01:14:34.000 Yeah, Luke!

01:14:34.000 What are you doing?

01:14:36.000 I can't help myself sometimes.

01:14:37.000 It's okay.

01:14:40.000 But, you know, it's such a difficult problem.

01:14:42.000 The government, in my opinion, is exacerbating it.

01:14:44.000 It's making it that much worse.

01:14:46.000 Luke's homeless.

01:14:47.000 Pretty much.

01:14:49.000 I don't like that word.

01:14:50.000 I like home free.

01:14:51.000 Home free sounds a lot better as I'm establishing my relations with homesteads all across the United States.

01:14:58.000 Building trade routes.

01:14:59.000 I'm getting a lot of emails.

01:15:00.000 People have been like, yo, we have a freedom of stand here in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida.

01:15:06.000 So thank you for your emails.

01:15:07.000 I love being a vagabond.

01:15:09.000 I love staying in parking lots.

01:15:11.000 That's a whole nother story in my trailer and my RV I like to act like a diva when I smash through the door be like I just got out of my trailer, but in reality It's my travel trailer that I live in but that doesn't matter.

01:15:24.000 But again, the government is exacerbating this problem I think a lot of it is lack of economic opportunity.

01:15:30.000 I think a lot of it is mental illness I think there's also a lot of other elements that we can't even quantify in words and But when you look at mental illness, when you look at lack of economic opportunity, that's everything that the government has been literally pushing for and creating along with big tech social media.

01:15:43.000 So that problem is going to be exacerbated.

01:15:45.000 It's only going to get that much worse.

01:15:47.000 People are poorer.

01:15:48.000 People are unhealthier.

01:15:49.000 People are in a worse mental decline.

01:15:52.000 And that is only getting more exacerbated the more government gets involved.

01:15:56.000 So, Luke, you mentioned that there was a big story on Twitter.

01:15:58.000 I can't help but notice the number one trend is WWE SmackDown.

01:16:01.000 Is that the story?

01:16:02.000 Is that it?

01:16:03.000 No.

01:16:03.000 I saw Epstein trending, too, a couple hours ago.

01:16:06.000 That's because Bill Clinton was in the hospital.

01:16:09.000 And then Bill Gates' daughter is having a wedding.

01:16:11.000 Well, what's the story, huh?

01:16:12.000 But this is something that kind of hits close to home with me because I'm seeing the frontline COVID-19 critical care organization, the FLCCC, just tweet out that their PayPal was suddenly shut down along with Facebook restricting their account.

01:16:28.000 And they're a group of medical professionals and doctors that are literally putting out protocols of medicines, of supplements, of medical studies that have helped a tremendous amount of people.

01:16:38.000 They're very pro-mask. 0.53

01:16:40.000 Yeah, they're frontline COVID-19 critical care workers.

01:16:43.000 They're a lot of the doctors, and they just got attacked by multiple social media platforms, and I know a lot of people that they've personally helped.

01:16:51.000 So to see this kind of attack on medical professionals, on doctors, on people who are quoting the data, the science, and actually going after the studies, to me is a very big deal, and another grave escalation in the censorship.

01:17:03.000 Ryan Long has that sketch we've talked about.

01:17:05.000 Where, I don't know, you've seen Ryan Long, right Gary?

01:17:08.000 Yep, yep.

01:17:08.000 He has that sketch where he's like, all the experts agree, and then Danny walks in and he's like, I read the data and I came to a slightly different conclusion, and then he just punches him, and he's like, no!

01:17:18.000 All the experts agree again.

01:17:19.000 And that's how it's been for a long time.

01:17:22.000 I mean, there have been a bunch of studies, I won't get into the details of some of the studies, I'll just keep it vague, that have been pulled down.

01:17:28.000 Scientific reports on certain cultural issues that get deleted because they're offensive.

01:17:33.000 You'll end up with in this instance. I think the CNN story is a really really good example Sanjay Gupta sitting down

01:17:39.000 with Joe Rogan Finally being forced to admit Joe Rogan was right a doctor

01:17:44.000 prescribed his medication And then what happens CNN doubles down on the lie to see

01:17:49.000 big tech going after you know doctors Why I look man? I don't know what to say what we've already

01:17:57.000 said 50 billion times, and it just keeps happening I'm not completely pessimistic because there's been like

01:18:04.000 you know just because something bad is happening now doesn't mean the world's gonna end doesn't mean

01:18:06.000 That it's completely over there have been some games. We were talking about Dave Chappelle getting defended by

01:18:10.000 Netflix It's a good thing Netflix still kind of sucks But I don't know man, you know

01:18:16.000 Bill Maher, you know, came out.

01:18:18.000 He said he's not getting the booster, right?

01:18:21.000 You've got Kyrie Irving coming out saying it's his body, his choice.

01:18:23.000 He's got one life to live and one body to have.

01:18:26.000 You've got Joe Rogan in his fight with Sanjay Gupta.

01:18:31.000 And you have massive amounts of protests all over the world that we're not hearing about, including one developing right now in Italy.

01:18:38.000 Well, to be fair, from CNN.com, thousands protest as Italy's COVID pass becomes mandatory for workers.

01:18:46.000 They say, anyone who is on a payroll in the public or private sector must have a green pass with a QR code as proof of either full vaccination, recent recovery from infection, or a negative test within the previous 48 hours.

01:18:58.000 Employees who go to work without the pass risk a fine of up to 1,500 euros, $1,730, and suspension without pay.

01:19:06.000 Employers could also face fines if they allow staff to work without it.

01:19:09.000 Wow!

01:19:10.000 That's substantially worse than here in the U.S.

01:19:13.000 Exactly.

01:19:14.000 And the way that they implemented this was really sinister because in Italy, talk of the COVID vaccine passport, it was first deemed a conspiracy theory.

01:19:24.000 It's crazy.

01:19:25.000 It's not going to happen here.

01:19:26.000 And then they started to implement it with restaurants and indoor dining.

01:19:30.000 Then they started to implement it with travel, trains, buses, planes.

01:19:34.000 Can't get on any of those if you don't have the green pass.

01:19:36.000 And now their latest rule here, this... I don't even want to say rule.

01:19:42.000 Their latest decree here by the Italian government is that you can't work in there in the public sector or private sector if you don't have a green pass.

01:19:51.000 If you don't have a QR code that says the government allows you to work.

01:19:55.000 And if you do work, you get a fine of 1,500 euros.

01:19:59.000 Um, and you need a vaccine to be compliant every six months with this quote green pass or a test every 48 hours, which is unfeasible.

01:20:07.000 So Gary, you had some, what's the, I got a question.

01:20:10.000 So what's the option if you say no to all this, uh, you're going to jail, you're getting fined till the 1,500 euro fine for going to work and not having a green pass.

01:20:20.000 Here's the best part in the United States.

01:20:23.000 If you are fired because you didn't get vaccinated and there was a mandate, it's considered a voluntary resignation.

01:20:31.000 And in many states like New York, you lose unemployment benefits.

01:20:34.000 So nurses that get kicked to the curb literally have to find another job right away to make sure that they could even pay the bills. 1.00

01:20:41.000 So we're in phase two.

01:20:43.000 Italy went through phase three and four.

01:20:45.000 We're seeing a lot of countries implement the same policies only on different timelines, but they're doing the same thing.

01:20:51.000 It's coming!

01:20:52.000 And again, it's already here.

01:20:54.000 Los Angeles has some of the most strictest COVID-19 vaccine passports that they're going to be implementing.

01:20:59.000 CNN has been cheerleading it, saying it's awesome, it's great.

01:21:02.000 You know, getting permission slips from the government for every basic activity is so awesome.

01:21:07.000 You know, the same government that runs the DMV.

01:21:09.000 Yeah, I definitely trust those people to have a Domestic permission slip passport system. 0.87

01:21:14.000 I mean, it's just ridiculous. 0.69

01:21:16.000 It's insane. 0.92

01:21:17.000 And people are standing up to this.

01:21:18.000 People are protesting in mass.

01:21:20.000 I've been tweeting out photos that show huge amounts of people.

01:21:24.000 There's also some fake photos.

01:21:25.000 There's some disinformation going around.

01:21:27.000 But I'm trying to confirm a lot of this.

01:21:29.000 I have some people in Italy that I'm talking to but now unions, dock workers are coming together and they're doing a quote indefinite blockade of the ports in Italy with them saying we're going to block this until you get rid of this domestic passport permission slip system.

01:21:47.000 So it's going to be a very interesting showdown and clash that we're going to see unfold in Italy in just a few moments from now.

01:21:53.000 It needs to happen soon because, as you guys know, that once they implement this stuff, it doesn't get unimplemented.

01:21:59.000 It's done.

01:22:00.000 It's expanded.

01:22:01.000 There's no deadline.

01:22:02.000 There's no deadline.

01:22:02.000 They're not going to say, hey, if everyone is free of COVID, we're going to get rid of this.

01:22:06.000 Or if 90 percent or 80 percent, they usually do this.

01:22:09.000 You can't tell someone to sacrifice for something that has no end to it.

01:22:14.000 That's why we're setting up Freedomistan.

01:22:17.000 Uh, there needs to be a free Dhamma stand in every state. 0.96

01:22:20.000 Uh, and you're setting this up, uh, West Virginia?

01:22:23.000 Yeah.

01:22:24.000 Oh, that's brilliant.

01:22:25.000 It's not like it's going to be an actual big city or anything, but we're going to have a lot of space.

01:22:29.000 There's going to be a lot of, a big communal aspect to it where people can come and, you know, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're sorting it out.

01:22:34.000 We're gonna be growing our own food.

01:22:35.000 We're going to be doing a lot of sustainable living stuff.

01:22:37.000 Ian's gonna build his free dome, geodesic dome.

01:22:40.000 We're gonna try and do things in the most environmentally friendly and economically friendly way to be, like, self-sufficient.

01:22:48.000 Because... Look, man, it's the Great Reset.

01:22:51.000 It's coming, right?

01:22:51.000 They want you to own nothing and be happy?

01:22:53.000 Well, as long as you have some land and the ability to produce some of your own stuff, then you'll at least own some stuff.

01:22:59.000 And if the supply chains are breaking down, what I'm really interested in is, you know, what can we make in Freedom Stand?

01:23:05.000 What can we, what can we get out of the ground?

01:23:07.000 What can we build ourselves?

01:23:08.000 Luke's talking about trade routes and stuff.

01:23:10.000 Can we get metals and things like that and then start doing construction or even like sourcing raw materials?

01:23:15.000 Things like that.

01:23:17.000 Ian's talking about pulling carbon from the air to make graphene.

01:23:19.000 Maybe this sparks the graphene revolution because we can't get iron anymore.

01:23:22.000 Right.

01:23:23.000 You can pull the carbon dioxide out of the air then deposit it onto like a copper palladium alloy at like a thousand degrees centigrade and it'll deposit graphene oxide.

01:23:32.000 That's one way to do it.

01:23:33.000 There's other methods too.

01:23:34.000 You can take rubber trash and then hit it called flash graphene where you hit it with pulse it with lasers and then turn it into a fine layer of graphene that requires a lot of electricity.

01:23:42.000 And lasers.

01:23:43.000 We need to figure out how to generate a lot of electricity.

01:23:46.000 Yeah.

01:23:46.000 Locally, like geothermal or something.

01:23:48.000 Giant hamster wheel.

01:23:49.000 Ian runs in it.

01:23:50.000 Little mini nuclear plant.

01:23:52.000 It sounds much better than Chad, for sure.

01:23:54.000 It does.

01:23:56.000 It's solutions.

01:23:57.000 If we just stare at the problem like this all day, every day, we're all going to go insane and then it's going to end.

01:24:01.000 So we have to fix it.

01:24:03.000 It's funny.

01:24:03.000 They set up the autonomous zone in these cities just by trying to steal land or whatever.

01:24:08.000 They're colonizing.

01:24:09.000 What do we do?

01:24:10.000 We rightfully negotiate a treaty for settlement on this here land and then set up our autonomous zone.

01:24:17.000 It's not an autonomous zone.

01:24:18.000 We're just like a normal place with business.

01:24:21.000 No, it sounds like it's weird.

01:24:23.000 We were talking earlier about things flipping.

01:24:26.000 We're seeing people on the right, I don't know, I don't want to say too conservatively, thinking about communes and going on their own, which is good.

01:24:33.000 There's always been the preppers as well, to be fair.

01:24:37.000 And I, you know, we have to do this soon.

01:24:40.000 We have to think about these things soon.

01:24:42.000 So one thing, when I talk about it on my channel, I've been talking about it for a long time, is, you know, nobody's going to come and save us.

01:24:48.000 Like, nobody's coming.

01:24:49.000 Trump ain't going to sweep in and fix everything, even if he wins in two years.

01:24:53.000 The midterm elections might be a slap on the wrist, but, you know, right now, They're all in on this.

01:24:59.000 Most of the government is in on this. 1.00

01:25:01.000 They're just playing their stupid game and they're resetting on us. 0.98

01:25:05.000 And there's like, there's stuff I'd love to say, but I, I didn't want to say it, you know, on your channel, you know, we were talking about earlier and I won't say it here, but. 0.98

01:25:15.000 Until we decide we are going to end this, those rules, like I said, are implemented.

01:25:22.000 They're implemented.

01:25:23.000 They're not going away ever.

01:25:25.000 Now this word mandate is just part of our language now.

01:25:28.000 We're completely cool with it.

01:25:30.000 So we went from emergency provisions mandating that people stay at home for a couple of weeks to Gavin Newsom mandating what a business can sell on a toy aisle.

01:25:42.000 You know, and that's why we chose West Virginia, you know, you could choose New Hampshire, Florida, Texas, I think Texas is too dense.

01:25:49.000 And that means it's susceptible to, you know, leftist manipulations and things like that for a variety of reasons.

01:25:54.000 What happens, we see this in West Virginia, where there will be like a gun range, a shooting range.

01:26:00.000 And it's noisy.

01:26:02.000 There actually is one not too far from here.

01:26:04.000 It's a public land where people go shooting.

01:26:05.000 You're not supposed to use it as a range apparently, but people do hunting training or something.

01:26:09.000 All the neighbors can hear the gunshots all day every day, and they're fine with it.

01:26:13.000 But liberals are starting to move in from DC because they want to get away from the nightmare they created and go to West Virginia where it's conservative.

01:26:20.000 When they move in, they're told, when you buy this property, you sign this disclosure acknowledging there's a shooting range, you know, on the other side of the street, which presents some dangers, risks, and a noise issue.

01:26:29.000 But you accept these things when you move in.

01:26:31.000 And they say, yeah, no problem.

01:26:33.000 Then they tell their friends to move in and say, once we get enough people, we can vote to shut down their range.

01:26:37.000 And that's what's been happening.

01:26:38.000 Things like that.

01:26:39.000 There was like a farm, like a dairy farm, and it was stinky.

01:26:42.000 And so people moved in and they were like, you acknowledge there's a farm here, the smell is, you know, something that people are concerned about.

01:26:48.000 They said, no problem.

01:26:49.000 Once they sold all the land around it, the people voted and said, shut the farm down.

01:26:52.000 And then all of a sudden you own this land and they're like, sorry, the cops come in and say, the people have spoken.

01:26:58.000 And then you can't run your business anymore.

01:26:59.000 That's what you got to watch out for.

01:27:01.000 That's why I'm worried about, you know, Texas, because it's happening in West Virginia too.

01:27:04.000 Now that's because West Virginia, people don't know this, is about an hour from DC.

01:27:07.000 It's not that far away from DC.

01:27:10.000 So, New Hampshire might be a good idea, but then New Hampshire is... I think New Hampshire, what it has going for it, is a free state project, which is protecting it and expanding the freedom.

01:27:18.000 West Virginia has the inverse problem.

01:27:19.000 They have a lot of people trying to come into the eastern part.

01:27:22.000 That being said, though, West Virginia has lost a ton of liberals from the other more urban cities.

01:27:28.000 So, I think West Virginia's a good bet.

01:27:30.000 New Hampshire is probably, I think in the long term, we're actually looking at setting up shop in some capacity in New Hampshire.

01:27:37.000 So maybe buying a small piece of land, that way we have a place to be in New Hampshire in the event the Free State Project becomes very prominent.

01:27:45.000 Because as long as, I've been telling Luke nonstop, like, New Hampshire is just...

01:27:48.000 That's a great place.

01:27:48.000 Blasphemy!

01:27:49.000 Blasphemy!

01:27:51.000 I've been screaming about New Hampshire forever.

01:27:53.000 I've been sending you property there a few weeks ago.

01:27:56.000 Luke sends me Zillow posts.

01:27:57.000 I'm like, dude, this is good right here.

01:27:59.000 Because there's already a freedom stand there.

01:28:01.000 There's a great guy called Jay Noon.

01:28:03.000 He could fix and build everything.

01:28:05.000 He's been teaching me pretty much doing man camp, which he does.

01:28:09.000 And he helps people figure out how to get out of the cities and learn to actually be self-reliant.

01:28:14.000 He's a great guy, Jay Noon, if you ever heard of him.

01:28:16.000 Awesome part of the Free State Project.

01:28:18.000 But he has his own Freedomstand in New Hampshire.

01:28:22.000 I want to build a forge.

01:28:24.000 Yeah, and there's a lot of freedom in New Hampshire and a lot of opportunity.

01:28:30.000 So I love it there.

01:28:31.000 I go there for the summers.

01:28:32.000 Florida for the cold, cold winters.

01:28:34.000 And of course, I'm here with you guys for the foreseeable future.

01:28:39.000 Yeah.

01:28:39.000 So far.

01:28:39.000 doing all right. Yeah. Yeah. Really dense though. And you get that border problem, right? These people flooding into

01:28:44.000 the border is a big risk to Texas in terms of maintaining, you

01:28:48.000 know, their sovereignty.

01:28:50.000 California. Yeah, no, it's it's California was fine. 20 years

01:28:57.000 ago, California was fine. Like when I was growing up thinking

01:29:00.000 about like San Diego was a right wings military town. And Los

01:29:05.000 Angeles was pretty centrist. San Francisco was always weird, but

01:29:08.000 it never ran the state. Now it runs the state. And now we've seen what happened like Nevada, Las Vegas.

01:29:14.000 You know, they had these like crazy mask mandates and I was just like, God, you know, gangsters used to run this town.

01:29:20.000 I was just there.

01:29:20.000 I'm like, it's it's so conforming.

01:29:24.000 And it was kind of a turnoff.

01:29:25.000 And then Arizona is the same way.

01:29:28.000 So, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if if Texas flips, if Florida flips.

01:29:33.000 It just depends on what county you're in at this point.

01:29:36.000 So Texas and Florida are like teetering between left and right.

01:29:39.000 Now, there's been some big changes, like on the border, it went Republican.

01:29:43.000 Miami went Republican.

01:29:44.000 West Virginia is the second most Trump-supporting state in the country.

01:29:48.000 And so I'm like, I like it.

01:29:50.000 You know, New Hampshire is good, but I think in order to get a good space, you gotta be, like, you gotta be kind of far away from the urban center.

01:29:59.000 Whereas here, we get West Virginia, we're in the tri-state area, but we're setting up free domicile in West Virginia, and it's like an hour and a half to the airport.

01:30:07.000 So you still get a big urban center airport, not too far away, but not too close.

01:30:11.000 We weighed a lot of options.

01:30:12.000 I mean, I was looking at northern Maine.

01:30:14.000 I was like, I'll take what I can get, but satellite internet, it's not going to cut it.

01:30:17.000 And bringing people out to the middle of nowhere is too difficult.

01:30:20.000 We looked at rural Pennsylvania.

01:30:22.000 That would have been awesome.

01:30:23.000 I really wanted to find a dying town and bring industry back and just get more jobs and stuff.

01:30:28.000 But maybe we'll do that with the Ferdinand area and more people will find jobs and more industry will grow and we'll be investing continually in the space to build stuff and set up a business.

01:30:37.000 Luke wants to have his own gun shop.

01:30:41.000 That would be fun.

01:30:42.000 And a training facility and growing your own food.

01:30:47.000 Yeah.

01:30:48.000 Owning a shop was brilliant.

01:30:49.000 It was the most freedom I've ever had, except working on a YouTube channel.

01:30:54.000 It's great.

01:30:55.000 Being your own boss, that's the American dream.

01:30:59.000 And you don't need to be rich.

01:31:01.000 I never made a ton of money at the comic store.

01:31:03.000 I was so freaking happy for most of it.

01:31:07.000 I'm happy now, except for the world falling apart around us.

01:31:12.000 It's hard to work out in my head sometimes.

01:31:15.000 But yeah, I guess the only problem I had about moving out of California was finding internet.

01:31:22.000 Like you said, satellite internet is not going to cut it, so I'm going to have to have it put in myself.

01:31:27.000 Especially, yeah, like you have, you know, if you go too far out, there's no way you're going to get it.

01:31:33.000 Uh, that's the only problem.

01:31:35.000 Cause I would love to be out in the middle of nowhere, nowhere near a city would not even within a hundred miles, but that's not an option.

01:31:41.000 Uh, right now, uh, there's still a ton of country.

01:31:44.000 I mean, Texas is cheap.

01:31:45.000 That's even now, like compared to, compared to California, everything's cheap.

01:31:49.000 So, uh, Crazy prices, man.

01:31:51.000 But how about we do this?

01:31:52.000 Super Chats!

01:31:53.000 If you haven't already, smash the like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, become members at TimCast.com to help support our work.

01:32:01.000 And we are having an event coming up October 23rd.

01:32:04.000 Tickets sold out basically instantly.

01:32:06.000 However...

01:32:08.000 So the initial plan was we were going to give a day's advance notice to members who gave $25 or more.

01:32:12.000 We're keeping it locked at that level because $25 members are still struggling to get access because of high demand.

01:32:19.000 But some people are canceling periodically and tickets are opening up.

01:32:23.000 So the best I can say is I apologize for the kind of chaotic nature of this.

01:32:27.000 We are going to be opening up an auction to members so that we'll have five auction slots where you can, you know, Choose how much you want to pay and then this was our

01:32:35.000 compromise like we can have people who don't have time to like try

01:32:38.000 And be there clicking the button every every few minutes But we can also you know some the people who have time to

01:32:43.000 dedicate can get the ticket for free other people can just

01:32:45.000 Support us by doing the auction system, and then we'll get people to come and help support the event and everything

01:32:50.000 like that, but people are canceling sometimes and

01:32:55.000 And I did see a Super Chat from one person who said they needed a ticket for their girlfriend.

01:32:58.000 She was able to get one, so I'm glad to hear it.

01:32:59.000 And if you send in emails, we will respond.

01:33:02.000 We might be able to accommodate some people who got, you know, the short end of the stick due to how the system was operating.

01:33:07.000 So we're going to try and make sure we can do to the best of our abilities, helping people out.

01:33:10.000 I gave out some tickets to my audiences, literally minutes gone.

01:33:14.000 I was like, what?

01:33:15.000 This is crazy.

01:33:16.000 So, yeah.

01:33:18.000 People want to come hang out?

01:33:19.000 We got to expand this, grow this, build this.

01:33:22.000 Oh man.

01:33:22.000 You know, we could do a stadium, like a big auditorium, but then it's just more like, it's not the same thing.

01:33:31.000 What we're planning on doing is, it's not a bar, it's open to all ages.

01:33:36.000 I think you have to be 18, I don't know.

01:33:38.000 So it's not all ages, but it's like 18 and over.

01:33:40.000 And we're going to have a stage and there's going to be some comedy from Ryan Long, so it'll be fun.

01:33:44.000 Alright, let's read some of these superchats.

01:33:46.000 Smash that like button if you haven't already.

01:33:47.000 Joshua Hickey says, Anyone else see Peter Thiel donating to people running against the likes of Liz Cheney and other swamp creatures?

01:33:54.000 Said he wants Trumpism to continue for generations in the same ilk of DeSantis.

01:33:59.000 Interesting.

01:34:01.000 Alright.

01:34:03.000 Chef as does it, Tim Pool and Nerd Roddick, the ultimate team up.

01:34:07.000 There you go.

01:34:07.000 Nice.

01:34:09.000 Dan Vask says, George!

01:34:12.000 What's that about?

01:34:13.000 That is an inside joke for my show.

01:34:16.000 Too long.

01:34:17.000 Sorry.

01:34:19.000 But Dan Vask is great.

01:34:20.000 Dan Vask, you guys might have seen him.

01:34:23.000 He does cover songs and he sang Tosca Corny or Witcher.

01:34:27.000 Got a couple million views.

01:34:29.000 He's got some He did the theme song for our show, but yeah, the George thing.

01:34:35.000 George is out there, he'll know.

01:34:36.000 Very cool.

01:34:37.000 Inside joke.

01:34:38.000 Alright, Captain says, Tim, you were right about the ports.

01:34:41.000 The trucker problem isn't truckers, it's trucks.

01:34:44.000 CA carb emission law doesn't allow any semi-truck over three years old to operate at the ports.

01:34:48.000 Look up, opening the port of Los Angeles 24-7 isn't the game-changer Biden claims.

01:34:52.000 Interesting.

01:34:54.000 PunkRockFox says, Tim, we did it yesterday.

01:34:56.000 I was upset because I could not get my girlfriend a ticket.

01:34:58.000 Guess what?

01:34:59.000 We got it today.

01:35:00.000 See you in West Virginia.

01:35:01.000 I'll have my Mohawk up for you, buddy.

01:35:03.000 Let's go, Brandon.

01:35:04.000 Also, hi, Ian.

01:35:05.000 We're all going to be there.

01:35:06.000 Yep.

01:35:07.000 I'll look for Mohawk. 1.00

01:35:07.000 It's going to be fun. 1.00

01:35:08.000 Let's go, Brandon.

01:35:09.000 And I'm really excited to see Ryan Long perform.

01:35:12.000 We haven't really worked out any schedule for playing music, but I think Ian's going to be playing, right?

01:35:16.000 Sure.

01:35:16.000 Ian's going to play a set and rock out, and everyone's going to be super stoked.

01:35:21.000 Yeah, we gotta do a couple songs together.

01:35:23.000 I've got two that I've been working on.

01:35:25.000 I'm practicing them.

01:35:26.000 I wonder if I can do, like, one or two songs.

01:35:28.000 I'm like, this is gonna be a lot of work.

01:35:30.000 Events like this.

01:35:30.000 People need to understand it's tough, you know?

01:35:33.000 Oh, yeah.

01:35:34.000 I just did, like, a tiny event.

01:35:36.000 It was very, very tiny compared to this, and it was a ton of work, but it was fun meeting everybody.

01:35:41.000 It makes it more real.

01:35:42.000 Let's do an acoustic thing.

01:35:44.000 Yeah, I'm thinking just acoustic.

01:35:45.000 But Ryan Long's a good drummer.

01:35:47.000 Oh, there you go.

01:35:48.000 Got a whole band.

01:35:48.000 Interesting.

01:35:49.000 We can bring the digital kit.

01:35:50.000 Yeah.

01:35:51.000 Nathan O'Connell says, the last time Netflix tried the woke stuff with cuties, they lost $7 billion in value because everyone canceled their subscription.

01:35:58.000 They aren't siding with the woke anymore.

01:36:00.000 And they're not losing value over Chappelle.

01:36:02.000 I don't think their stock's going to go down over that.

01:36:03.000 They're going to be like, people like it.

01:36:06.000 Chappelle's insanely popular.

01:36:07.000 I didn't know he had a special until the drama.

01:36:10.000 They're terrible at promoting their specials, but I mean, they don't need to.

01:36:14.000 With Chappelle, it would get around, and within two weeks, everybody had seen it, and if it wasn't for Squid Game, it would be the most watched thing on there.

01:36:23.000 Mblazin64 says, Gary and Tim need you to discuss Falcon and the Winter Soldier series.

01:36:29.000 Haha, we did.

01:36:29.000 We were talking about that before the show started.

01:36:31.000 Well, before the show, but not on the show.

01:36:32.000 My general assessment was that it was not overly woke.

01:36:35.000 It tried to be political, but kind of just didn't really get a strong message.

01:36:38.000 But I liked how USAgent was, the media claimed that he was the embodiment of white supremacy and white male rage.

01:36:43.000 But he turns out to be a redemption arc hero that is like, made to look good.

01:36:48.000 So, take that media.

01:36:50.000 I totally, the writing was all over the place, and US Agent Cap was much better than, he was the best character in it.

01:36:59.000 I thought he had the best character arc, but I thought it was filled with, I get into the weeds on this stuff, but intersectional feminism. 1.00

01:37:05.000 I call it the MCU.

01:37:08.000 And, uh, yeah, they, it's a long story, but it goes back to Captain Marvel and, you know, at the end, yeah, terrible movie, terrible movie.

01:37:18.000 But at the end they had Falcon and Falcon didn't even fight his own bad guy.

01:37:22.000 Oh, I call her Freckle Jesus, but she came up and, uh, she got killed. 1.00

01:37:27.000 Uh, she got killed by, by Carter, by Sharon Carter. 0.88

01:37:31.000 So.

01:37:32.000 Why are you not even fighting your own bad guy at the end?

01:37:35.000 And people say, Oh, you're just nitpicking stuff.

01:37:37.000 But no, if you watch the entire story, Falcon does, he deifies his villain, who is basically the head of Antifa.

01:37:44.000 She's like a, you know, and he's like chewing out, uh, doing this, uh, you know, he's projecting right in front of three, uh, three politicians that just happened to be standing there that survived a plane crash.

01:37:56.000 And his big suggestion or helicopter crashes do better at the end.

01:38:01.000 That's what it is.

01:38:02.000 You know why I didn't like Captain Marvel?

01:38:05.000 And I thought a lot about this.

01:38:06.000 I watched a video comparing Captain America, the film, to the Captain Marvel film.

01:38:11.000 And they're like, in Captain America, you have Steve Rogers.

01:38:13.000 He's weak.

01:38:14.000 He has no strength.

01:38:15.000 But he has good moral character.

01:38:17.000 He's willing to stand up for those and stand up for himself, even though he knows he'll lose.

01:38:21.000 Here's a scene where he throws himself on top of a grenade, proving that even though he isn't, you know, strong physically, that he's a good person who's willing to do what he has to do.

01:38:31.000 He's then granted power and then he has the strength to back up his ideals.

01:38:36.000 Captain Marvel was always strong and her powers were locked away by a man.

01:38:40.000 So in the Captain Marvel story, she's mean, she's nasty, and in the end, 0.74

01:38:45.000 she doesn't have a redemption arc. She has a self-realization.

01:38:47.000 I actually found her to be the villain.

01:38:50.000 I found her to be very villainous. Not that the militaristic, you know, uh, group that she was 0.62

01:38:55.000 working with was good guys. No one has to be the good guy.

01:38:58.000 But her whole arc is basically she's a bad person, she's a bad person, she's a bad person. Now she's

01:39:02.000 strong and a bad person. And arrogant. 0.99

01:39:04.000 And I was like, ugh. And then in Endgame, when I was in the theater, 0.77

01:39:08.000 and she punched Thanos, the whole audience, the whole theater groaned.

01:39:12.000 No joke.

01:39:13.000 So, there's that scene where Thanos has the Infinity Gauntlet, he has everything!

01:39:18.000 Yeah, he has almost everything.

01:39:20.000 No, no, he does have them all, right?

01:39:21.000 He has almost everything.

01:39:23.000 When she comes down...

01:39:24.000 Yeah, and then he's like pushing against her, and then she's holding his... he headbutts her and she doesn't flinch, and then everyone groaned.

01:39:33.000 And then she grabs the... or no, he grabs the stone and punches her. 1.00

01:39:36.000 People were like... I was laughing when I heard the groaning.

01:39:39.000 People cheered when that happened in my theater.

01:39:41.000 They cheered when she did it?

01:39:42.000 When she got punched by Thanos, they were like, yes!

01:39:45.000 I was in rural Maryland when I saw Endgame.

01:39:47.000 And so it must have been a conservative area.

01:39:50.000 I was in a particularly conservative area.

01:39:52.000 Western Maryland?

01:39:53.000 Everyone groaned.

01:39:55.000 I was laughing when I heard it.

01:39:58.000 And then when all the women came down in that scene, the audience groaned again and I was laughing. 0.99

01:40:02.000 I was like, I knew it!

01:40:04.000 I'll point out again, Disney annihilated that series, The Infinity Gauntlet.

01:40:08.000 They should have made The Infinity Gauntlet, and made it like they wrote it.

01:40:11.000 Because it's amazing, and people die, and it's horrible to see your favorite hero get ripped apart by the Infinity Gems.

01:40:18.000 It's just, that's what they needed more of. 0.93

01:40:20.000 Not these invincible trash characters.

01:40:22.000 I liked, uh, did you watch What If? 0.95

01:40:25.000 Uh, yes, I did.

01:40:26.000 I thought it was kind of dejected.

01:40:28.000 Like, it's clear people recorded their lines in passing.

01:40:31.000 Yeah.

01:40:31.000 It's like, as part of your contract, you're gonna do this movie, and then just read this line real quick into this microphone.

01:40:36.000 Okay, thank you.

01:40:37.000 During a lunch hour.

01:40:38.000 Right, exactly.

01:40:39.000 But I really did like the finale.

01:40:42.000 I liked, like, you know, the watcher breaking his oath.

01:40:44.000 Oh, spoilers.

01:40:44.000 Sorry.

01:40:46.000 I liked it.

01:40:46.000 I didn't think it was that great, but I was entertained by it.

01:40:49.000 I watched it.

01:40:49.000 My favorite... I'll tell you this.

01:40:52.000 The Doctor Strange one was wrong, and I fixed it.

01:40:56.000 Did you hear my rant on the Doctor Strange episode?

01:40:58.000 No, I didn't.

01:40:58.000 What happened?

01:40:59.000 So, you've seen it, right?

01:41:01.000 Yeah.

01:41:02.000 Spoiler alert, everybody should have seen it by now.

01:41:04.000 So Dr. Strange in this universe is, he's bringing, um, what's, Janine?

01:41:09.000 That's her name, right?

01:41:10.000 No, what's, uh, what's the woman's name?

01:41:12.000 I'm blanking on, oh my god, this is bad for me too.

01:41:16.000 Janine, that doesn't sound right.

01:41:17.000 No, it's not.

01:41:18.000 Janine, why did I say Janine?

01:41:20.000 I'm not a nerd.

01:41:20.000 What's the name of the doctor?

01:41:24.000 Palmer?

01:41:25.000 Dr. Palmer, what's her first name?

01:41:27.000 It's Rachel McAdams.

01:41:29.000 I know the actress's name.

01:41:30.000 I can't think of the character's name.

01:41:32.000 Christine.

01:41:32.000 Christine!

01:41:33.000 Why did I think Janine?

01:41:36.000 Anyway, in this universe, well I'm going to start over. 0.99

01:41:40.000 In the original movie, he's an arrogant prick. 0.92

01:41:43.000 He invites her out, she says, I'm not going to something like that. 0.98

01:41:46.000 He's trying to pass somebody in a storm, crashes, his hands get crushed.

01:41:49.000 He can no longer be a doctor, so he starts losing his mind because he's like, his whole life is destroyed.

01:41:53.000 Eventually he finds the Mystic Arts and becomes a Sorcerer Supreme, and that loss drove him to becoming the hero that's helping save the planet.

01:42:01.000 In the What If series, they're like, in this version of reality, he brings Christine with him, she dies, and in trying to learn about life and loss, finds the Mystic Hearts, becomes Sorcerer Supreme, but eventually decides to use the Time Stone to go back in time to save Christine, but he can't, because it's a fixed point in time that created him.

01:42:21.000 If she doesn't die, he never becomes Sorcerer Supreme.

01:42:24.000 You know what I thought was gonna happen?

01:42:26.000 What I thought was going to happen was that when he's, like, you know, desperately trying to, like, bring her back to life, and the Watcher talks to him and says, you can't change a fixed point in time.

01:42:38.000 It is the loss of Christine that drives you to become the Sorcerer Supreme.

01:42:42.000 I thought he was going to go back in time and destroy his own hands on purpose, creating the timeline where his life was destroyed.

01:42:49.000 And then what that does is it kind of sets in motion this loop into the original movie, Yep.

01:42:53.000 My way was better!

01:42:54.000 he didn't have to be crippled.

01:42:57.000 That in the original timeline, he just lost Christine, but even though they didn't stay together,

01:43:00.000 he was willing to sacrifice everything that made him who he was in order to allow her to live.

01:43:05.000 And they didn't do it.

01:43:06.000 No.

01:43:07.000 And it was kind of like, eh, whatever.

01:43:08.000 And then there's like a weird thing where the ancient one like turns him into two Stevens or whatever.

01:43:14.000 And I was like, yeah, whatever, man.

01:43:15.000 And then it ends the same way anyway.

01:43:17.000 My way was better.

01:43:18.000 Yeah.

01:43:19.000 I think so.

01:43:20.000 I mean, I think they just wanted it to be a sad ending.

01:43:23.000 I think that's pretty much it.

01:43:24.000 And plus they stole something from Doctor Who having the fixed point in time.

01:43:27.000 That's straight up a Doctor Who thing.

01:43:28.000 I just, I gotta stress like how amazing it would have been if he's like, to see the scene where he's like trying to save Christine and the universe is collapsing and the Watchers are like, it can't be done because the law strives you to become the Sorcerer Supreme.

01:43:39.000 And then he's like, what if I gave up something else?

01:43:41.000 That'd be cool.

01:43:42.000 It was like it would have to be something of tremendous value

01:43:43.000 It's like what if it was everything that made me who I am his hands and then he creates their own timeline

01:43:48.000 So he basically punishes himself. How awesome would that have been? That'd be cool. Yeah, anyway, I'm totally lost.

01:43:54.000 Yeah Go ahead. All right Cole Stuyvesant says Tim, please talk

01:44:00.000 about the globalists. There you go That's what Luke is here for.

01:44:04.000 Yes.

01:44:05.000 That's right.

01:44:07.000 All right.

01:44:08.000 Dennis S says, Dems have media.

01:44:09.000 Media runs on trades.

01:44:10.000 Trades have mostly conservative Republicans, etc.

01:44:14.000 Love you guys as in every day.

01:44:15.000 Let's go, Brandon!

01:44:16.000 Let's go, Brandon.

01:44:17.000 Indeed.

01:44:17.000 Absolutely.

01:44:19.000 All right.

01:44:21.000 J.H. 0.96

01:44:22.000 Schwalbach says, with all the money I give in Super Chats to Gary and Tim, my wife is sure I'm buying porn. 0.84

01:44:27.000 Keeps marriage spicy.

01:44:29.000 Hail Friday Night Tights, right?

01:44:30.000 Yep.

01:44:31.000 AZ, X-Ray Girl, Geeks and Gamers, RK Outpost, and all thanks to Tim for having Nerdrotic.

01:44:36.000 Moist!

01:44:37.000 Oh, no problem.

01:44:38.000 We're more than happy to have you on.

01:44:40.000 Thank you.

01:44:40.000 And it's porn in a way.

01:44:42.000 Intellectual porn, maybe? 0.97

01:44:44.000 Yeah. 0.91

01:44:45.000 I hope.

01:44:45.000 All right.

01:44:46.000 Toxic Man Flu says, Gary has an awesome story of hope and success.

01:44:50.000 I never would have made it through the last two years without Gary, Comics Division, Culture Casino, and many others in the Fellowship.

01:44:55.000 Thank you all.

01:44:56.000 Right on.

01:44:57.000 I like how they're using the word fellowship.

01:44:59.000 I tell people to stop using the word community.

01:45:02.000 That commie language. 0.90

01:45:05.000 Yeah.

01:45:05.000 The fellowship of the ring.

01:45:06.000 Yes.

01:45:07.000 We got so many super chats.

01:45:09.000 This is from Sarah Stathatos.

01:45:12.000 She says, George, exclamation point, exclamation point.

01:45:16.000 I'm not gonna read all of them.

01:45:17.000 So many.

01:45:17.000 George, George, George.

01:45:19.000 George is going to love that.

01:45:20.000 That is brilliant.

01:45:22.000 Yes.

01:45:22.000 I mean, there's a bunch of superchats saying the same thing.

01:45:24.000 Yes.

01:45:25.000 George is a supporter of my channel, has been for a long time, and every time he would give a big superchat, we'd just yell his name and it became a thing afterwards.

01:45:34.000 Nice.

01:45:34.000 Yeah.

01:45:35.000 Samuel Bonin says, VAX mandate taking my job soon.

01:45:38.000 But fear not, although most of my time is taken up by OT, I've accumulated over 20 projects, books and games that I can start building culture with.

01:45:45.000 Wish me luck.

01:45:46.000 Very cool.

01:45:46.000 Or hire me.

01:45:48.000 You can always send an email to pitches at TimCast.com.

01:45:50.000 But I do have to admit, we are just like dramatically swamped.

01:45:55.000 We get a lot.

01:45:55.000 Yeah.

01:45:58.000 All right, let's see.

01:46:00.000 FuriousPhil says, JCTem, you have NerdRotic aka Gary.

01:46:05.000 Start asking him questions.

01:46:06.000 Let's go.

01:46:07.000 Unicorns do not crap ice cream and fart rainbows. 1.00

01:46:09.000 They don't? 0.76

01:46:10.000 I thought they did.

01:46:11.000 Yeah.

01:46:13.000 Alright.

01:46:13.000 Yeah.

01:46:15.000 Vexcoon Kilrog says, Hail Gary!

01:46:18.000 Hope you're enjoying Babylon 5 before the CW reboot come for it too.

01:46:22.000 Is that true?

01:46:23.000 Yes.

01:46:24.000 Oh, Straczynski's writing it too, so they got the original creator, and it's still probably going to be... I know a lot of people have hope, but no.

01:46:34.000 You can't go back home again, and even if the original creator comes back, they're going to capitulate, especially if it's on the CW.

01:46:41.000 Did you like Picard?

01:46:43.000 No, I hate it because I hated it with a passion.

01:46:46.000 I couldn't stand it.

01:46:47.000 Really?

01:46:47.000 Why?

01:46:48.000 It was the Federation Apology Tour and they emasculated Picard throughout the entire series.

01:46:54.000 It became about the girl who's the key to everything.

01:46:57.000 Plus, Patrick Stewart doesn't look tired.

01:47:00.000 Yeah.

01:47:00.000 I mean, how old is he?

01:47:01.000 Is he 80 or what?

01:47:01.000 I mean, how old is he? Is he 80 or what?

01:47:04.000 He's pushing 80. I think he's gonna be 79.

01:47:07.000 And they shot two series back to back and they have him like running upstairs and 0.78

01:47:11.000 fricking sword fighting and it was ridiculous. 0.84

01:47:14.000 It was absurd. 0.66

01:47:15.000 It was just another deconstruction of a traditional character

01:47:18.000 which they have been doing over and over again.

01:47:20.000 I liked it.

01:47:21.000 It wasn't the next generation.

01:47:25.000 It was just kind of like, uh, you know, going to a reunion of friends and seeing Riker and Deanna and Picard and I was like, eh, you know, oh look, there they are again.

01:47:35.000 I would love to see a continuation after Deep Space Nine and they haven't given us anything meaningful.

01:47:40.000 It's just been reboot and prequel and I'm just like, so what happens?

01:47:44.000 You know?

01:47:45.000 Well, they'll probably eventually get around to it.

01:47:47.000 They've got like four other shows or three other shows coming out supposedly.

01:47:51.000 I guess the one reason I liked Picard is finally I'm like, they're showing us something after Deep Space Nine.

01:47:56.000 Because that really bummed me out, that we get the Dominion War, and then it's like, let's go back in time and talk about stuff!

01:48:01.000 No!

01:48:02.000 What happened?

01:48:03.000 This was big!

01:48:04.000 The Cardassians!

01:48:05.000 Come on! 0.61

01:48:06.000 There are four lights!

01:48:07.000 Oh! 0.60

01:48:07.000 Come on! 0.60

01:48:08.000 But then they come back, and we don't see anybody we really recognize until later in the show.

01:48:13.000 That was an afterthought, by the way.

01:48:15.000 They didn't originally want to do that.

01:48:16.000 Really?

01:48:17.000 Like have Riker and everything?

01:48:19.000 Yeah, that was an afterthought.

01:48:20.000 They actually shot a different ending, and they CG.

01:48:23.000 At the very end, I won't ruin the end.

01:48:24.000 Well, it's terrible.

01:48:26.000 It's a couple years now.

01:48:27.000 It's freaking terrible.

01:48:28.000 And I still owe people a review on it.

01:48:31.000 I think it's the last Jedi of Star Trek.

01:48:32.000 I think it's the worst ending I've ever seen.

01:48:34.000 Wow, I didn't think it was that bad.

01:48:36.000 I reviewed every episode.

01:48:38.000 I felt like I was having an aneurysm by the end of each episode.

01:48:41.000 The Last Jedi is the worst piece of media, but have you heard my theory on this?

01:48:46.000 No.

01:48:46.000 That Rian Johnson sabotaged Star Wars on purpose because our culture is stagnant.

01:48:51.000 Have you seen Knives Out?

01:48:52.000 Yes, I've seen Knives Out.

01:48:54.000 No, I hated Knives Out.

01:48:54.000 Really?

01:48:55.000 Yeah.

01:48:55.000 I liked it.

01:48:56.000 I liked it a lot.

01:48:57.000 I thought it was great.

01:48:57.000 People love it though, so I'll give them that.

01:48:59.000 I did think it was a little preachy, but I thought he did politics well because he has that scene where the liberal, the leftist woman is arguing with the MAGA uncle, and I think it was decently an accurate portrayal of common opinions.

01:49:10.000 The guy wasn't a racist Nazi, the woman was like your typical liberal, and they had like made real statements about it, which was funny.

01:49:17.000 And then you had the young liberal daughter who turns out to be a cutthroat who's gonna sell out the girl, whatever. 1.00

01:49:23.000 I thought it was good.

01:49:24.000 When I saw that, Looper was good, but weird, and the story kind of didn't make sense.

01:49:29.000 But I was like, it was fun.

01:49:30.000 And then, when I saw The Last Jedi, I was like, there's no way this was an accident.

01:49:34.000 He even says, Kylo Ren says, let the past die. 0.98

01:49:38.000 Kill it if you have to. 0.99

01:49:39.000 And I was like, he did it on purpose! 0.99

01:49:41.000 Because he was probably like, yo, all we do is reboot, remake, same thing over and over again, and he's sabotaged.

01:49:46.000 That's my opinion.

01:49:47.000 That's my bet.

01:49:49.000 Uh, you would have to sabotage to be that bad. 0.99

01:49:51.000 You would have to try to suck that much, and I would say the same about Star Trek. 0.85

01:49:54.000 Like, when the plasma's arcing in outer space, I'm like, dude, he was sitting there thinking like, what can I do to make this as offensive and awful as possible? 0.97

01:50:03.000 I want diehard fans to reject it.

01:50:05.000 So when you see them firing the plasma and it's arcing in space, I'm like, he did that to piss off the diehard people who are going to be like, what?

01:50:13.000 How?

01:50:14.000 Or using hyperspace as a weapon?

01:50:16.000 I mean, like, they never did that before, which changes the entire lore, which people care about.

01:50:21.000 Like, that's the thing, is people actually, right?

01:50:23.000 I call him Rian Johnson.

01:50:25.000 Rian Johnson doesn't care about Star Wars, and he made that pretty clear.

01:50:29.000 He was happy with, you know, he's an artsy filmmaker.

01:50:33.000 He likes to piss off half of his audience because he's cool.

01:50:36.000 This is Star Wars.

01:50:36.000 Just make people happy.

01:50:38.000 But yes, they did go in there and deliberately deconstruct Luke.

01:50:41.000 The symbolism of him drinking the blue milk out of a giant puppet.

01:50:47.000 Throwing the lightsaber away.

01:50:48.000 Puppet boob. 0.98

01:50:49.000 Throwing the lightsaber away.

01:50:51.000 Looking like the big Lebowski. 0.96

01:50:53.000 Yeah, dude, Star Wars is done. 0.96

01:50:54.000 I complaining all the time getting his butt kicked by Ray for no reason whatsoever

01:50:58.000 Not really training him and then you know he ODs on the force. That's just like I hate Star Wars 0.88

01:51:04.000 And I'm gonna do a movie now. It's ridiculous. Yeah, dude Star Wars is done. Yes, it's done 0.98

01:51:10.000 Some of the games I guess what's what's the game they just did recently

01:51:15.000 People liked?

01:51:15.000 Knights of the Old Republic?

01:51:18.000 No, no, the OG Knights of the Old Republic was amazing.

01:51:21.000 And they have a writer coming in to screw that? 1.00

01:51:23.000 Do you need that?

01:51:24.000 I mean, you just said it's amazing.

01:51:26.000 And I'm not the biggest gamer in the world, but you said it's amazing.

01:51:28.000 Does it need to be changed?

01:51:29.000 It was one of the best games I've ever played in my life.

01:51:32.000 I was addicted.

01:51:32.000 It was so good.

01:51:33.000 So good. They brought in a writer who, uh, who, one of the writers who likes to drink fake geek tears.

01:51:39.000 One of those types of people type of people who just hate the fandom. Uh, that's part of the

01:51:44.000 thing. I, I kind of put it, I kind of, I defend the fandom once in a while they, they get picked

01:51:49.000 on a lot by creatives and stuff always have, you know, but it's always been behind the scenes.

01:51:54.000 But now since social media is around, they love saying things like toxic fandom or in cells and

01:52:00.000 and all that, or you live in your mom's basement. 0.53

01:52:03.000 It's like, I thought you were supposed to be for the nerds, about the nerds.

01:52:07.000 I'll just put it this way.

01:52:08.000 Uh, you know, I think we, we share a lot of opinions, a lot of people who are upset about the destruction of this content and, uh, the room we're in is anything but a mom's basement.

01:52:17.000 We are well-mannered and developed adult individuals who enjoy entertainment of the sci-fi and fantasy nature, and it's being ruined by people who don't care about it, who have been handed the reins by big corporations.

01:52:29.000 And I think that their goal is, they take a look at their market share, and they're like, we got too many dudes.

01:52:34.000 How can we get more women involved? 1.00

01:52:35.000 And they're like, what do women like? 1.00

01:52:36.000 And then they just make some mash-up garbage. 0.99

01:52:38.000 It doesn't work. 0.92

01:52:41.000 They bought Star Wars to bring more boys to Disney.

01:52:45.000 That was the whole point of doing it.

01:52:46.000 And then they nuked it.

01:52:48.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:52:48.000 The sequels were just the worst garbage I've ever seen in my life. 0.99

01:52:50.000 First of all, Force Awakens is a shot-for-shot remake of A New Hope. 0.99

01:52:53.000 Yes.

01:52:54.000 And then you get The Last Jedi, which is the worst film I've ever seen in my life.

01:52:57.000 At least The Room is funny in how bad it was.

01:53:01.000 It became a cult classic.

01:53:02.000 And then I just love, oh, the Emperor is not dead, actually, and the last Jedi didn't matter, and he's here.

01:53:09.000 And my favorite part about it is he, like, he wants to be Rey.

01:53:11.000 Like, the Emperor is like, I'm going to be a young woman. 0.75

01:53:14.000 And then he's like, strike me down and I will possess your body.

01:53:17.000 And then she goes, never! 0.78

01:53:19.000 And then she strikes him down.

01:53:20.000 Yeah. 0.97

01:53:22.000 And he kills himself.

01:53:24.000 No, no, he becomes Rey.

01:53:25.000 Like, he said... Yeah, the way he set it up, you're right.

01:53:28.000 He should have won at that point, and he didn't.

01:53:31.000 Or did he?

01:53:31.000 Who knows?

01:53:32.000 Maybe he transitioned.

01:53:34.000 He did.

01:53:34.000 But that was the weird thing to me when he was like, I will take over your body.

01:53:37.000 I'm like, that's really weird.

01:53:40.000 It is.

01:53:40.000 I guess.

01:53:41.000 The Emperor was trans the whole time, and that was the character arc. 0.92

01:53:43.000 He wants to be a young woman. 0.96

01:53:46.000 And then I guess he wins, though, because she kills him. 0.99

01:53:49.000 Yep. 0.97

01:53:50.000 And then kisses Kylo Ren.

01:53:56.000 That was the Emperor the whole time was like, that Han Solo is kind of hot.

01:54:00.000 Yep.

01:54:01.000 And then you get, you know, Han Solo dies.

01:54:04.000 And then he's like, well, he still has a son.

01:54:06.000 Do it.

01:54:07.000 He looks him in the eyes.

01:54:08.000 Do it.

01:54:09.000 All right, all right.

01:54:10.000 Falkenraiser says, Nerdrotic, Geeks and Gamers, and TimCats need to team up to make sci-fi content.

01:54:17.000 We cannot depend on the entertainment industry to entertain us anymore, so we have to make our own entertainment.

01:54:21.000 I'm down.

01:54:22.000 I've been saying before, we want to do like a comics section, kind of like Shonen Jump, where we do like a few weekly releases of various serieses.

01:54:32.000 So, if you know people who have good story ideas and they want to just start cranking out weekly chapters or something, I'd be down for that.

01:54:40.000 I don't know if you guys are.

01:54:42.000 There are hundreds of them out there.

01:54:44.000 Hundreds.

01:54:45.000 Hundreds.

01:54:45.000 Thousands.

01:54:46.000 Gotta find the good one.

01:54:47.000 You gotta find the good one, though.

01:54:48.000 So, yeah.

01:54:49.000 I mean, they send me stuff.

01:54:51.000 If I saw something great, I'd send it your way.

01:54:53.000 Make sure it's good.

01:54:54.000 Yeah.

01:54:55.000 Make sure it's really, really good.

01:54:57.000 I, I, I basically just, I think the comics are all regurgitated at this point.

01:55:01.000 I'm not entertained by them.

01:55:02.000 I used to love the Justice League so much, the stories where I just, big fan.

01:55:05.000 And the X-Men when I was little.

01:55:07.000 Now I'm all, I, like, I started to get into manga and anime.

01:55:10.000 And now I just think they're doing a better job.

01:55:11.000 My hero Academia, Academia does superheroes better than comics today.

01:55:17.000 I mean, you got, you got, that's just, it's kind of amazing.

01:55:20.000 That's the case.

01:55:21.000 Yeah.

01:55:21.000 I, I wouldn't read manga or watch anime for the long, I mean, I like some of the anime, but manga I would not read for one.

01:55:27.000 It's reading backwards.

01:55:28.000 And I never, I was, I was an American comic book snob, but they, I, people have sent it to me and I finally, I'm into it now.

01:55:35.000 Yeah.

01:55:36.000 Death notes.

01:55:36.000 Good.

01:55:37.000 I like Death Note a lot.

01:55:38.000 I like Attack on Titan.

01:55:41.000 I haven't watched a whole lot of that.

01:55:42.000 Somebody sent me a bunch of One Piece, so I'm getting into that right now.

01:55:47.000 I haven't gotten into that.

01:55:48.000 You know, the problem is it's so big, I'm kind of like, ugh.

01:55:50.000 It's big.

01:55:51.000 It's taken me a little while to even figure out what's going on.

01:55:54.000 And then they finally sent me a Blu-ray of My Hero Academia, which my kid has been trying to get me to watch.

01:56:00.000 That's brilliant.

01:56:01.000 I think they do superheroes so much better.

01:56:03.000 It's original.

01:56:05.000 To see anime doing original superhero stuff, I'm just like, man.

01:56:11.000 Where are you at, America?

01:56:13.000 They gave it up.

01:56:14.000 They had it. 0.95

01:56:15.000 We created this stuff in the 50s, the Golden Age, all this stuff, these superheroes, and now it's just trash.

01:56:21.000 One guy can do that again. 0.97

01:56:22.000 Japan is so far behind because, well, I mean, there are gay characters in there, but not everybody's gay.

01:56:28.000 So once everybody's gay in manga, then they'll catch up to America. 0.95

01:56:33.000 There's a lot of good stuff, you know?

01:56:36.000 But I definitely would like to make some comics.

01:56:39.000 You know, have some of that content, and maybe even make our own shows and stuff, when we get to that point.

01:56:43.000 There's a bunch of stuff that I... I haven't been watching a whole lot recently.

01:56:47.000 But someone mentioned Eta Fruetta.

01:56:50.000 Fruetta?

01:56:50.000 I'm pronouncing it wrong, I don't know.

01:56:51.000 It was a show I watched a big chunk of until I reached the... I watched every episode until the latest, and then I'm like, okay, I binged it, now I gotta wait for them to do more episodes.

01:57:00.000 Black Clover, a lot of fun.

01:57:01.000 I guess people don't like it.

01:57:02.000 I thought it was cool.

01:57:03.000 My Hero Academia, I thought it was really great.

01:57:06.000 Man, I used to read every single Naruto when it came out every Wednesday.

01:57:09.000 The Scanlation, every Wednesday for years.

01:57:12.000 So I'd be totally down to make some fun, new cultural content and do these comics.

01:57:16.000 Did you see the Donald Trump and the Death Note one-shot?

01:57:19.000 No.

01:57:19.000 They made a legitimate canon Death Note chapter with Donald Trump in it.

01:57:24.000 No way.

01:57:25.000 Yeah, so it's basically a kid gets the Death Note and decides to sell it to, and Donald

01:57:29.000 Trump is like, America will give you, you know, $50 trillion, something like that.

01:57:34.000 It's, it's, it's good.

01:57:35.000 I thought it was great.

01:57:36.000 All right, let's see what we got.

01:57:38.000 Spider Bro says, Hey guys, huge fan.

01:57:41.000 And you're right.

01:57:42.000 Me and my cousin tried to get breakfast at IHOP, Denny's, and Waffle House.

01:57:45.000 Both IHOP and Denny's were closed and Waffle House was only taking to-go orders because they only had two employees.

01:57:51.000 Wow!

01:57:54.000 That's brutal, dude.

01:57:56.000 This is stuff I have never seen.

01:57:57.000 I mean, this is, yeah, this is kind of the beginning, the breaking down, you know, when you see the organized gangs going in and, you know, shoplifting out of Walgreens.

01:58:07.000 I saw one guy.

01:58:08.000 Oh, you might.

01:58:10.000 I won't repeat his name here.

01:58:12.000 He retweeted and saying, oh, well, you know, this is what you get when the chain markets come in and take over the mom and pops.

01:58:18.000 He's not totally wrong, but this is happening to the mom and pops in San Francisco, too.

01:58:21.000 They're just not videoing that.

01:58:23.000 It's happening to them, too.

01:58:25.000 That's society breaking down.

01:58:27.000 That's the beginning.

01:58:29.000 Darth Meerkat says, I can't wait to play the Division IRL.

01:58:34.000 Have you played the Division?

01:58:35.000 Uh-uh.

01:58:36.000 It's about a pandemic that like wipes out a bunch of cities and then you're in the in part one you're in New York and it's pretty cool to be in Manhattan and it's like an apocalypse and there's uh like rogue factions start taking over so firefighters start like they they actually take flamethrowers and become actual firemen And they're trying to purge the disease and they end up going crazy and just killing anybody.

01:58:58.000 They're like, it's too risky.

01:58:59.000 They're infected.

01:58:59.000 You have regular gangs.

01:59:00.000 You have paramilitary groups.

01:59:02.000 It's fun.

01:59:02.000 It was fun game.

01:59:03.000 And then in part two that you're in DC and it's like you're in the White House and it's abandoned.

01:59:09.000 Yeah.

01:59:09.000 Fun game.

01:59:10.000 Plus you get real guns.

01:59:12.000 Like the guns are all based off of real guns.

01:59:13.000 So it's, it's, you know, it's fun.

01:59:17.000 All right.

01:59:18.000 Sarah Stathatos says, George, George, George, George, George, George, George.

01:59:24.000 Thank you for the big super chats to say George.

01:59:30.000 Dragon Balls Deep says, Tim, given all the gun stuff y'all do, you must get in contact with Mike Glover of FCS.

01:59:38.000 He's the real deal.

01:59:39.000 Also, I want to see Dave Smith versus Vosh debate.

01:59:41.000 Love the show.

01:59:42.000 Shout out to Ian.

01:59:44.000 I'd totally be down to host Dave and Vosh.

01:59:46.000 That'd be fantastic.

01:59:47.000 But I feel like, you know, is Vosh the only one willing to actually sit down and express himself, you know, and his ideas?

01:59:52.000 He does a good job of giving his ideas.

01:59:54.000 A lot of people think he's wrong, but I can respect that. 1.00

01:59:57.000 If he wants to come and speak and be wrong, that's a great thing.

02:00:01.000 But I don't think he's completely wrong.

02:00:03.000 I think we agree with him on a lot of stuff.

02:00:04.000 I think there's just core issues we clearly don't agree with.

02:00:08.000 I think most Americans, regardless of your beliefs, agree on an overwhelming majority of things.

02:00:13.000 But it'd be nice to get someone else on the left to actually want to come and have these conversations.

02:00:18.000 The problem is, There's two kinds of people on the left who want to come on the show outside of Vosh.

02:00:23.000 Either people who are small and don't have big channels, can't really articulate the thoughts as well, and are just trying to get some kind of, you know, notoriety. 0.76

02:00:31.000 And people who are grifters who want to come on and do stupid things to make a scene and then get us in trouble and then make viral content for themselves. 0.61

02:00:38.000 We should have Andrew Yang on. 0.99

02:00:39.000 He sent us a gift.

02:00:40.000 He sent a book.

02:00:41.000 He did, but it came with like a generic print instead of like a signature.

02:00:46.000 Okay.

02:00:47.000 You can sign the books and just go like this.

02:00:48.000 That's cool.

02:00:49.000 He sent us a book.

02:00:50.000 He should probably come on.

02:00:51.000 He's probably a PR person.

02:00:52.000 He's not on the left, but he's kind of like can represent that.

02:00:56.000 He quit the Democratic Party.

02:00:57.000 That's pretty big.

02:00:57.000 The forward party.

02:00:58.000 Yeah, the forward party.

02:00:59.000 Oh, he did, huh?

02:01:00.000 Yeah.

02:01:01.000 We tried to have him on a while ago, and he said he would try to do it, but then he got way too big way too fast, because I was a big fan.

02:01:06.000 I donated the Max to Yang.

02:01:08.000 In the early days, I was like, this dude has got a huge list of comprehensive policies, and he's right about a lot of it.

02:01:14.000 I would love to talk to him.

02:01:15.000 he actually looked at it he looked at tons of different areas where he thought

02:01:18.000 he had ideas and then he just kinda just are playing ball the democratic

02:01:22.000 yeah i get support now it's like

02:01:23.000 he's got a very he worked for cnn uh... i would love to talk to him and i i have a different

02:01:30.000 point of view scott anderson says luke one thousand yards forever

02:01:36.000 What's the current rate for 50 BMG?

02:01:38.000 Got a story for you, Tim.

02:01:39.000 What is the best way to get to one of your reporters?

02:01:43.000 I think it's what, tips at TimCast.com?

02:01:45.000 Probably.

02:01:46.000 Info?

02:01:46.000 I have no idea.

02:01:48.000 You can email pitches at TimCast.com.

02:01:50.000 We're really trying to, you know, we got to get to that point.

02:01:54.000 I try to let you guys know, like, a lot of the stuff that we're doing outside of this show is, like, we're investing in.

02:02:01.000 Like, doing new shows, like, it's not easy to just make a show and then try and make money doing it, you know?

02:02:05.000 So we're really hoping that other shows can become, you know, new ways to get new people to be involved and things like that.

02:02:11.000 But we're working.

02:02:13.000 We're growing.

02:02:14.000 All right, let's read a couple more, just because we did talk quite a bit.

02:02:18.000 Jerry Latt says, Hey Tim, 10 years working maintenance on metal container closing machines.

02:02:23.000 The information on this process at times can be esoteric.

02:02:26.000 I imagine it could be useful to your future endeavors.

02:02:29.000 I'm willing to give advice and help you choose that path to work on metal container closing machines.

02:02:34.000 Maybe for Freedomistan, we could use something like that. 0.63

02:02:38.000 We do have a nice little hill, and I was like, we could get three shipping containers and just bury them, and then have three little dorm hangout places, or make them stores.

02:02:47.000 I would love to have a little western town, with a sheriff and a general store.

02:02:53.000 That'd be cool.

02:02:54.000 Freedomistan.

02:02:57.000 Alright, we'll just do a couple more here.

02:03:02.000 Alright, let's see.

02:03:03.000 I don't know what that means, so I can't read it.

02:03:08.000 R. Barrett says, let's talk about some Bond R.I.P.

02:03:11.000 or how they are systematically killing strong male characters like He-Man, Bond, Indiana Jones, etc.

02:03:17.000 Yes, that's what I was talking about with Luke Skywalker.

02:03:20.000 That was the beginning, the beginning.

02:03:23.000 It started a little before The Last Jedi, everything that's going on.

02:03:27.000 But it's very deliberate, and I guess it's only deliberate to hardcore nerds who not only just pay attention to Star Wars, they pay attention to the whole realm.

02:03:38.000 Uh, when they see something similar happening to Picard, and to James Bond, and to Luke Skywalker, and to Captain America, and to Iron Man, they tend to start thinking that there's something nefarious going on.

02:03:52.000 And there is.

02:03:53.000 There is.

02:03:54.000 There's a...

02:03:55.000 Since the Me Too Time's Up little moment in Hollywood after Harvey Weinstein, it was a huge power shift.

02:04:03.000 And what they decided to stop doing is they started writing basically Marxist PowerPoints.

02:04:14.000 And it sounds insane.

02:04:16.000 It does.

02:04:17.000 It absolutely does.

02:04:18.000 Until you see the paperwork, until you see that not only just BLM, but it sounds like

02:04:25.000 it's from BLM.

02:04:26.000 You have the Roddenberry Foundation that's owned by Roddenberry's kid, his heir.

02:04:32.000 And there's a ton of money in there and it's supposed to be a workshop for writers, Gene

02:04:36.000 Roddenberry.

02:04:37.000 And they made up some paperwork basically on what you can and can't write in Hollywood

02:04:42.000 anymore.

02:04:43.000 And you can't write, I mean, some of the stuff actually sounds like it's sure it makes sense because it's not the 50s anymore, but some of it is nuts.

02:04:52.000 They tell you how you can write, I hand a capable person.

02:04:56.000 and how you can't write.

02:04:57.000 They can no longer be the person who overcomes their handicap. 0.99

02:05:01.000 You cannot write that anymore.

02:05:03.000 They revel in it, I guess?

02:05:05.000 Yeah, it's supposed to be bad.

02:05:06.000 It's a bad stereotype.

02:05:07.000 So anything that perpetuates a stereotype is gone from Hollywood.

02:05:11.000 You can't show a woman or a man mentoring a woman in any way, shape or form anymore.

02:05:18.000 A woman can mentor a man, but you cannot portray a man mentoring a woman.

02:05:23.000 Do you have a list of these rules?

02:05:24.000 Yeah, I can send them to you.

02:05:25.000 Why don't we make a short film that violates every rule?

02:05:28.000 That'd be brilliant.

02:05:29.000 A handicapped man who really wants to mentor a woman, but he overcomes his handicap to become the best mentor she's ever had.

02:05:36.000 Yes.

02:05:37.000 I would love that.

02:05:38.000 Woke, everything woke.

02:05:40.000 I mean, it's so ripe for being made fun of.

02:05:42.000 Yeah, it's great.

02:05:43.000 I mean, Saturday Night Live rating, if they were good, and they haven't been for decades, if they made fun of what culture would be the most watched thing on broadcast TV.

02:05:50.000 We have had requests of doing, like, sketch comedy stuff.

02:05:54.000 So we could certainly start doing stuff like that.

02:05:56.000 That'd be fun.

02:05:57.000 I think that'd be a great idea, because there's, like, low-hanging fruit everywhere with... I mean, Ryan Long nails it.

02:06:03.000 Yep.

02:06:04.000 He nails it consistently.

02:06:05.000 We should totally be doing similar stuff.

02:06:08.000 Check out Ryan Long.

02:06:09.000 Have you seen Kyle Dunnigan?

02:06:11.000 Yeah, he's great with Star Trek.

02:06:15.000 What are those episodes called?

02:06:18.000 Blarp Trek? 0.77

02:06:19.000 Star Boat?

02:06:21.000 Yeah, there you go, Star Boat.

02:06:23.000 They were originally called something else, but it's not good for the show.

02:06:29.000 He also does the best Biden impression I've ever seen.

02:06:32.000 There's a quick skit where Biden sees himself in the mirror and it confuses him.

02:06:38.000 Who are you?

02:06:40.000 See that skit?

02:06:40.000 Yeah, Kyle Dunnigan's genius.

02:06:42.000 I think, you know, we've got a couple shows in the works that are, like, tentative, but I think we should start doing sketches.

02:06:48.000 Even if we just start with, like, once a week and then they get something rolling, that would be hilarious.

02:06:52.000 Even if they're not that good.

02:06:53.000 I mean, we used to do them back in the day.

02:06:55.000 They were not good, but they were funny.

02:06:57.000 Actually, they were good.

02:06:58.000 They were amateurishly produced, but it was funny when Luke was vomiting and then in the bathroom farting his brains out.

02:07:04.000 We had a lot of fun with that.

02:07:05.000 That was great.

02:07:05.000 We did a couple of those.

02:07:08.000 We did another one that never aired when we were testing less lethal munitions on each other.

02:07:14.000 That wasn't a skit, though.

02:07:15.000 That was just us getting tear gassed in a garage.

02:07:16.000 Yeah, that was pretty funny, though.

02:07:18.000 That was hilarious.

02:07:20.000 All right, everybody.

02:07:21.000 If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends.

02:07:25.000 And we should have an episode of The Green Room in the member section.

02:07:28.000 So if you go to TimGuest.com and you click Members Only, you'll now actually start seeing different shows emerging because we want to be better than Netflix.

02:07:36.000 We are going to build an independent streaming service.

02:07:39.000 We've got Tales from the Inverted World.

02:07:41.000 Just getting the ball rolling on this one, guys.

02:07:43.000 The next episode that's coming up Sunday morning is a true crime mystery about the Irish Mafia and a murder.

02:07:48.000 So cool.

02:07:49.000 We've also got Shane, the host and the writer.

02:07:52.000 He's going down to Georgia, looking up old Confederate Civil War ghost stories, trying to track down old Confederate gold.

02:07:57.000 And all these crazy stories are going to be awesome.

02:07:59.000 And we're going to have a huge arc of these creepy... It's just going to be fantastic.

02:08:04.000 And we're going to have members-only content from that, exploring the stories around it and having these conversations.

02:08:09.000 So we're definitely trying to do a lot.

02:08:11.000 Right now, it's like podcast.

02:08:13.000 It's relatively low budget to produce.

02:08:14.000 It is kind of expensive to bring out guests, but we don't need a million dollars to make an episode like, you know, Game of Thrones, which required, I think it was like four million or something.

02:08:23.000 So, was it four million?

02:08:24.000 Four to ten.

02:08:25.000 Four to ten.

02:08:26.000 So we don't have that!

02:08:27.000 But there are a lot of shows that we really do want to do, so maybe we'll get to that point if we get more and more members, we'll be able to fund our own shows.

02:08:34.000 And then just think, in five years, we'll have a big library of content. 0.97

02:08:37.000 We'll have comics and books and music, and it'll all just tell these weird, woke, you know, losers to, like, screw off. 0.93

02:08:43.000 We're doing our own thing.

02:08:44.000 So thank you all for supporting the show.

02:08:46.000 Again, smash that Like button. 0.95

02:09:01.000 I do a Friday night show that you can watch right before you tune into Timcast IRL called Friday Night Tights that I do with Geeks and Gamers and Heel vs Babyface.

02:09:11.000 And QuarterBlackCarrot is there for you, so check it out.

02:09:15.000 Thanks for having me.

02:09:16.000 If you want to support me, you can on thebestpoliticalshirts.com or lukeuncensored.com.

02:09:22.000 Either way, I have a lot of fun here.

02:09:24.000 I have a lot of things I want to say, and I'm still censoring myself, just so you know.

02:09:29.000 Remember that you can put a Captain America costume on a donkey and call it Captain America, but it doesn't make it Captain America.

02:09:36.000 That's right.

02:09:37.000 That's right.

02:09:37.000 Absolutely.

02:09:37.000 Happy to be here, everyone.

02:09:39.000 Check me out at iancrossland.net.

02:09:41.000 Ian, truer words have never been spoken.

02:09:42.000 Oh, thank you.

02:09:42.000 Very true.

02:09:43.000 Agreed.

02:09:43.000 Yeah, for sure.

02:09:44.000 Thank you guys for tuning in for this nerdy Friday night.

02:09:47.000 I feel like we hit the balance between news and nerdiness just right.

02:09:51.000 Hopefully you guys enjoyed it.

02:09:52.000 You guys may follow me on Twitter at Sour Patch Kids and on Instagram at Real Sour Patch Lits.

02:09:57.000 Thanks for hanging out, everybody.

02:09:59.000 Also check out youtube.com slash castcastle.

02:10:01.000 All of our episodes have a funny little animated skit.

02:10:04.000 You gotta see them.

02:10:05.000 And do you remember what the episode was called, where you find the Alex Jones mushroom?

02:10:09.000 Because that's like the best one ever.

02:10:11.000 Not offhand, but it was last week.

02:10:12.000 You guys gotta watch it until you find it, because it's a cartoon of Ian finding the screaming Alex Jones mushroom, and it's really, really funny.

02:10:19.000 So thanks for hanging out, everybody, and we'll see you all next time.
