On today's show, we talk about a crazy story about the FBI raiding the home of Nancy Pelosi's husband, and the crazy things they do with their stolen laptop. Plus, we discuss Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and more!
00:00:45.000So they got into it with one of the staff members and got booted off and banned from the airline.
00:00:50.000Apparently then, someone from Alaska Airlines tipped off the FBI, making claims that these people were the ones who stormed the Capitol, and then the, I guess, or some of the people who did.
00:01:00.000And then the FBI, because this woman is of the right age, or a similar age or whatever, decided to raid her home, looking for Nancy Pelosi's laptop.
00:01:11.000And if you just look at the photos of the woman they're claiming was involved in stealing the laptop, and this lady in Alaska, you can clearly tell they're not the same person.
00:01:21.000How is the FBI not figured out who stole the laptop yet?
00:01:25.000How have they not figured out who was laying pipe bombs around DC that day, yet they're able to track down some of these, you know, bumbling dotards who walked into the Capitol building?
00:01:55.000We're talking about Dogecoin, which is skyrocketing, and Bitcoin, crypto, and just the state of social media free speech, and, you know, with stories like this and the FBI, I gotta say, it's been a bit of a pessimistic past couple of weeks, but we'll break all this down.
00:02:10.000Maybe all these people will become Dogecoin millionaires, or maybe Dogecoin is proof the system is just crumbling before our eyes, because people are getting rich off of a meme?
00:02:19.000If you put $1,000 in a Dogecoin in January, you would have $1,021,000 right now.
00:02:26.000Something is wrong with the economy if that's the case, I'll tell you that.
00:02:29.000So, uh, joining us today, of course, is Bill Ottman.

00:04:52.000So we can be a bit pessimistic when it comes to these crazy stories about the economy, the dollar, inflation, the FBI, Black Lives Matter riots, but hey, we're doing something here, and you guys who are members are helping out.

00:05:15.000Let people know they can come hang out.
00:05:17.000Let's talk about this first really creepy story.
00:05:20.000It's a really, really creepy story, because we have a bunch of different outlets that have reported this.
00:05:25.000Did agents raid the home of a wrong woman over January 6th riot?
00:05:39.000I think even the AP was like, they might have.
00:05:42.000But if you go to Anchorage Daily News, apparently one of the only outlets that actually looked into this story, they have a photograph of the woman during the January 6th rally in which Trump was speaking in DC, and a photo of the woman the FBI was actually looking for.
00:05:56.000Okay, so maybe they're of similar age and their hair is kind of similar.
00:06:00.000The woman whose home was raided as they were looking for Nancy Pelosi's laptop was wearing a gray scarf and I guess some kind of like low-cut or V or open neck shirt.
00:06:09.000And the woman they're actually looking for has big hoop earrings and is not wearing a gray scarf and has some kind of, I don't know, weird flower pattern shirt.
00:06:19.000So how is it that the FBI hasn't been able to figure out who stole the laptop, they haven't been able to figure out who was planting pipe bombs?
00:06:26.000I guess tracking down bumbling dotards who walked in confused.
00:06:30.000So, here's where it gets really crazy.
00:06:32.000Apparently, in this court filing, they mentioned that it was an Alaska Airlines employee who got into an altercation with these people because they weren't wearing masks, they got banned, and then I guess, this is where it gets weird.
00:06:45.000Someone from Alaska Airlines looked up this woman's social media account, saw a post a few days later about being in D.C.
00:06:53.000on January 6—not in the Capitol, mind you, not in the Capitol building, just there because Trump was rallying—then called the FBI and tipped them off.
00:07:01.000And that was grounds for the FBI to go to Homer, Alaska and break this woman's door in and then go and search for a laptop.
00:07:18.000Maybe this woman shows up in DC to hear Trump speak, and then everybody decides to go into the Capitol, so she takes off her jacket, takes off her scarf, throws it away, puts on a totally different shirt, attaches new earrings, all within the span of...
00:07:31.000You know, a couple hours, I guess, while people are outside marching around.
00:07:35.000I just find the whole thing just ridiculous.
00:07:55.000Apparently the local farms were telling us that, or so we were told by local farmers, The FDA has put restrictions on their ability to sell beef until recently.
00:09:03.000I'm just at this point where watching all this news every day, I mean, we were sitting here before we pulled up the story, and I'm just like, I don't even care.
00:09:09.000I don't even know what's going on anymore.
00:09:12.000Like, I can tell you a million and one things, but I can tell you one thing is that Antifa goes and throws rocks through windows and bashes skulls.
00:09:19.000Whatever happened to that old man in Kenosha got his head bashed in by some Antifa?
00:10:27.000When it comes to cultural issues, political issues, I'm trying to see what is going on and what matters most and what's having a big impact.
00:10:35.000But admittedly, I'm only able to look at what journalists are, for the most part, already doing.
00:10:39.000Now, we are going to be launching a newsroom soon.
00:10:41.000We're going to start doing our own original reporting.
00:10:44.000But that's why I was saying it's like I brought up the beef thing.
00:10:47.000It's seemingly unrelated, but I think it's a really good example of people not realizing that I think we're being distracted by a lot of this stuff.
00:10:55.000And what I mean is this FBI thing is scary.
00:10:57.000It's creepy that an Alaska Airlines employee sending in a tip to the FBI about a woman because of a mask altercation.
00:11:04.000That's just like really creepy like stuff.
00:13:16.000Yeah, so we ended up getting this cat food that Bucko doesn't like.
00:13:20.000This reminds me of if we were living on the Titanic, and this is the part of the movie where they're like, this is when everyone should be getting on lifeboats, but we don't have enough lifeboats, so don't freak everybody out because there'll be a mad dash and people will smash and kill you.
00:13:31.000So they're not telling us to get on the lifeboats.
00:13:58.000So, I got concerned about the riots in, you know, when we were in the Philly area, because it's—this is the craziest thing about New Jersey, I've talked about it before, it's a duty to retreat, even from your own home.
00:14:26.000And it's only if it's completely safe.
00:14:28.000And so then you got to argue to a court why it was like, it was a totally safe, or I'm sorry, it has to be like, in order to be totally safe, you have to leave.
00:14:40.000If there's some risk to you by doing it, then they could argue that you should have stayed in your home or whatever.
00:14:45.000But if you can safely leave your home, you have to.
00:14:48.000So I'm like, I don't want to be in this stuff.
00:14:49.000I remember going to the stores and seeing all the shortages and everything, and then thinking, like, man, should we be preppers?
00:14:56.000Because it's funny, people like to make fun of the preppers, but the preppers don't care.
00:14:59.000I don't know if you guys have seen, like, prepper videos recently.
00:15:02.000Yeah, they don't care what the media says about them.
00:15:05.000They're just like, whatever, I don't care.
00:15:06.000You know, I've got I got a bunch of toilet paper while you guys are fighting over it.
00:15:09.000They're living a great life, growing food.
00:15:26.000Now that I've built the suspense up a little bit enough to talk about this, this this Crowder thing, I got a big update on that gun that Crowder was supposed to me.
00:16:06.000There apparently was only one gun shop in New Jersey that could do the modifications to make it New Jersey legal because New Jersey is a horrible state for firearms.
00:16:15.000And so Crowder's team ended up sending it to the one shop that could take it.
00:16:19.000The only problem, it was about 70 miles away from where we were.
00:16:22.000And that would mean driving for about an hour and a half in the middle of a day where I'm working mornings and nights and on weekends and I couldn't do it.
00:16:29.000I'd have to drive up there, fill out the Nick's background check form, drive back home, wait three to five days because I was on a delay list, then drive back and do it again.
00:17:22.000Yeah, so I checked the voicemail and there was this woman and she was like, it's been sitting here for a year and we're supposed to charge you five bucks a day for how long it's been sitting here, but...
00:19:23.000This is when Nietzsche was talking about the abyss.
00:19:26.000He said, Beware that when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster.
00:19:30.000For when you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
00:19:34.000And that's a big part of You know, the weight of being a journalist and doing things like what we're doing is we cover dirty, nasty, painful things to hear about and to think about, and it can make you angry.
00:19:46.000It can make you edgy and lose focus on how to fix situations, you know, when you're surrounded by problems all the time.
00:19:56.000Okay, I was just gonna say that Michael Tracy just tweeted something about an article about journalists who are freaking out and breaking down constantly and crying, and I was like, that's because they steeped themselves in the anti-Trump bubble, and they were just stewing in it, all this TDS all the time, and it like broke their brains.
00:20:13.000And there's a journalist who commented, her name's like Katie or something, and she's like, My brain broke during the Trump election.
00:20:19.000I was like, dude, whose fault is that?
00:20:21.000Like no one is making you dive into this stuff and just swim around in this cesspool of horrible thoughts about Donald Trump all the time, you know?
00:20:32.000I'd love, I'd pay to see one of their nightmares.
00:20:35.000Soon you'll be able to if this neural net thing is... Yeah, there's a neural net thing that can decode brain images, like what you're seeing, and then it transcodes it to a visual approximation.
00:20:45.000I'm just imagining these people all day, every day, just... They were talking about after Trump got banned, they were celebrating.
00:20:51.000And a bunch of people, like conservatives, were like, that's crazy, they would celebrate the censorship of a sitting president.
00:20:58.000These people were talking about how they would wake up in the morning and then their phone would have a shortcut to pull up Donald Trump's Twitter to read what he was saying.
00:21:06.000It's all they ever did because their companies wanted them to do it.
00:21:10.000They're like, we got to write about what Trump is doing because Trump makes us money.
00:21:14.000I used to imagine these people having like, you know, we talked about this the other day, Brian Stelter having a nightmare where he's like in an old rickety house and then he's like, it's like there's like lightning strikes and then there's Trump.
00:21:24.000You can see him flashing and then he's like, and then when he runs out the back door, it actually just transports him back into the front door and he's trapped in this house and there's Trump in the shadows.
00:21:34.000These people were trapped in a Trump vortex.
00:21:47.000It seems like that's what's happening, and possibly is happening to people right now.
00:21:53.000I think it's causing and a cause of the crisis, the culture war.
00:22:02.000So the more the crisis escalates in terms of the FBI raiding someone's home or Antifa setting buildings on fire, the more you will get, say, MSNBC lying about riots.
00:22:14.000And then in turn, conservatives saying the media is lying, they're fake news.
00:22:19.000And so it's just a spiral that's spinning faster and faster and faster with everyone trapped inside.
00:22:24.000Do you think the censorship of Trump is working to actually have people talk about it less?
00:22:45.000So within the mainstream media network, the big tech social media network, I mean, yeah, you can stamp it out of those, but then, you know, it still has a life outside of there, but it can be hidden.
00:23:14.000They are the ones who don't want to let him go.
00:23:17.000Now Trump launched from the desk of Donald Trump.
00:23:20.000And then people have created social media accounts that are just reposting what Trump is posting on his own site and Twitter's banning them all.
00:23:26.000Probably because we're in a less isolated environment now with the internet.
00:23:30.000Because like the Romans, when they conquered the Gauls, this guy Vercingetorix, like they just basically stamped out all record of those people.
00:23:46.000When people say that censorship works, and you look at how it affects modern political discourse, it works in the sense that you hide certain things, but it doesn't make them go away.
00:23:57.000So it has the tensions between the culture war Has it stopped?
00:24:04.000But they banned all these right-wing individuals, these conservatives, these Trump supporters.
00:24:08.000Yet, well, they still exist, and they still believe things.
00:24:11.000What happened was, these journalists are sitting on Twitter, rocking back and forth, like, scratching their head until their skin—until they're bleeding.
00:24:18.000And then finally, Twitter says, we banned those people, and they go, They're gone.
00:24:46.000The key is I think when you look at this Nietzsche quote and you really let it seep into you, if you stare at the problem all day, it will, you will become part of the problem.
00:24:55.000I mean, it's good to know what the problem is, but you've got to find a solution.
00:24:59.000I don't think it means you will become, it just means be careful that you don't.
00:25:03.000Some great people can probably stare into it their entire life and not become the demon, but I think there's a tendency to.
00:25:10.000You know, this Alaska airline thing really unsettled me because it reminded me not of 1984, which is technically fiction, but of actual historical events like during the Soviet Union.
00:25:21.000Those nice people who just silently sat by while their neighbors were rounded up.
00:25:24.000They didn't want to think about politics.
00:25:26.000They just wanted to go about their day and then they would turn in their own neighbors.
00:25:30.000This is what Gina Carano got in trouble for.
00:25:32.000I just heard a number that said that in the Soviet Union, two in five people were informants for the state.
00:26:27.000I thought what I thought you were saying today in your in your video about ContraPoints was really interesting how, you know, sort of the left is calling out the free speech warriors and the right is calling out the social justice warriors.
00:26:40.000But realistically, it's I think that those two things do exist and they're sort of both hypocritical on both sides.
00:26:48.000But then there are elements of the right and left and center who are more nuanced.
00:26:52.000And I think that that's where we all hope that we sit.
00:26:55.000But it's like, I think that both sides are right to a certain degree.
00:27:01.000But you look at the New York Times data.
00:27:34.000There is a rule in the culture war, when you look at the left, that when a conservative gets censored, they laugh, they gloat, and they celebrate.
00:27:45.000Then you will see the rule on the right that people will immediately defend the conservatives who get censored.
00:27:53.000When the leftists get censored, it is a rule that they will scream, it is unfair, it's censorship, and the conservatives are claiming they're the ones getting banned.
00:28:02.000And it is still a rule that conservatives will defend the left when they get censored.
00:28:07.000So when the left gets censored, the right and the left scream censorship is wrong.
00:28:12.000When the right gets censored, the left laughs and mocks the right and the right says this
00:29:30.000It's interesting in that we didn't necessarily have to deal with a lot of the creepy stuff on the internet when it came to public discourse.
00:29:37.000Like, you know, people would go out in the street and they'd show pictures of like dead fetuses and stuff.
00:29:42.000And, but for the most part, you don't have people walking around with, you know, holding up big signs with like pornography and stuff on it.
00:29:50.000Now on social media, people can just spam a button and flood a network with garbage and crap.
00:29:55.000And that makes it really difficult for regular people to engage in a platform and have this kind of speech.
00:30:45.000But so so it's simultaneously the problem, but it's also what gives us free speech, because when you have anonymity, like, yeah, it causes people to go crazy and like spam with like crazy, insane stuff.
00:30:57.000But it also is a very important fundamental human right, arguably.
00:31:02.000If you have a totalitarian government and you need to organize a response to it, if they know who you are, you're dead.
00:31:11.000But if you have anonymity, you can do it functionally.
00:31:14.000Yeah, like when Antifa went out and set fire to vehicles and threw bricks through windows and the cops couldn't do anything about it because they were all wearing masks.
00:33:14.000There's going to be encyclopedias that are immutable, and then there's going to be ones that are controlled by centralized authorities.
00:33:20.000Yeah, but the centralized authorities for now control the dominant narrative.
00:33:25.000It's interesting though, you know, I like that phrase, if the situation was hopeless, the propaganda wouldn't be necessary.
00:33:33.000And I mean, among my three channels, we get, you know, I think 50 to 60 million views per month.
00:33:40.000It's down a bit because I used to do three more segments every day.
00:33:42.000I cut those out and I cut off weekends.
00:33:44.000But we're still hitting around 50 million.
00:33:46.000And so it's not the same as, you know, CNN on YouTube gets 200 million.
00:33:50.000But I think that's pretty good relative to YouTube.
00:33:53.000The net videos over the course of your life because you'll live longer because you're resting a little bit more, you'll still put out the same amount of content.
00:33:59.000No, the idea is to build something and expand and empower other people to start doing similar things like this.
00:34:06.000And so I think there's some optimism there that a show like this can exist.
00:34:09.000The problem is, they've been going after Steven Crowder like crazy.
00:37:33.000So the idea being, you know, if the universe is so vast, then surely there's intelligent life.
00:37:37.000If there is, how come we haven't seen any signs of it?
00:37:39.000And there's a bunch of hypotheses about what it may be, and the Great Filter is one of them.
00:37:43.000And that's when a civilization reaches a certain point and they just get filtered out of existence, right?
00:37:47.000Something happens to intelligent species that they wipe themselves out.
00:37:51.000And I'm thinking, like, everything we're looking at right now, maybe it's like yeast in a bottle, you know, just eating the sugars and farting ourselves to death.
00:38:00.000But in reference to what you're saying about YouTube and stuff, maybe it's just that we have billions of hours of content every single day, every perspective.
00:38:09.000And at a certain point, there's just too much static.
00:38:13.000It's like, there was a period where everything was noise, it was chaos.
00:38:18.000Then we built upon it this civilization, this order.
00:38:21.000And then, continuing our expansion of technology, it's going back to static, to noise.
00:38:25.000You know, if you were to actually look at the raw feed of YouTube, like the firehose of all the videos being uploaded, I bet it's nonsensical gibberish and garbage.
00:38:32.000It's like a seven second video of like a chicken looking at a camera and then a hamster just walking around.
00:38:38.000Then there's like some little kid staring at the camera confused for three minutes.
00:38:55.000Like, you know, you learn the most when you're a baby.
00:38:57.000But the amount of information that we're getting now is... The velocity is so high that we're probably evolving faster in certain ways as well.
00:39:04.000I think that baby things... Look, maybe it's true.
00:39:41.000We should do a show, a challenge of like a super smart person versus a baby.
00:39:46.000It's not that, you know, people always say this like, oh, it's so easy to pick up when you're a kid.
00:39:52.000Well, it's because you're not doing anything.
00:39:54.000Also, your brain is lit up like they do studies, fMRI exams on people with LSD, and their entire brains light up, and they're active like the right and the left hemisphere at once, and that's how baby brains are.
00:40:04.000They haven't learned to filter stuff out, so they're just learning everything.
00:40:08.000Well, there's such high demand and need for them to communicate, because when it's your first language, your body is forcing you to figure it out so that you can achieve certain things that you want to achieve, which you don't have that need when you already know one language.
00:42:18.000Normally in a tide pool, if an area of the tide pool got too acidic or too dangerous for these organisms to live, they would come together and form a new type of organism that could float up to a different strata of the tide pool and essentially evolve into a new organism collectively.
00:42:33.000They would come together and create a new organism.
00:42:35.000Now, in Petri dishes, you don't see that because they're two-dimensional.
00:42:38.000They don't have anywhere to go, so they eat them so they die.
00:42:40.000But in the tide pool, our nature is to come together, form a new species, essentially, and then move somewhere where we can thrive.
00:42:47.000I think decentralization needs to happen.
00:43:25.000I don't mean getting off the grid in the sense of, like, disappearing from society.
00:43:29.000I mean having well water with a filtration system and having some kind of, you know, at-home renewable of solar or wind or whatever you can get.
00:43:38.000And still being attached to the grid, just having the capability to survive on your own in the event things start falling apart.
00:44:07.000I think we're starting to see a lot of the same signs, far be it for me to tell anybody what they should do with their money, but, you know, I've been talking to a lot of my friends who are, you know, some of them who do, are day traders and work in investment firms, and they bring up, you know, every time we see a major collapse, you start seeing similar signs of the media saying, oh, no, everything's fine, there's no collapse, just keep doing your thing, and it's like, When they start saying this stuff, everything's okay, go back to work, mind your own business.
00:44:34.000It happens every time, and then there's a major collapse, or some kind of crash.
00:44:37.000Well, there was a case, I was talking about Christopher Mellon, who was just on Rogan, like a couple days ago, and he told this story where, because this guy worked in intelligence agencies, They told him that there was a pending nuclear attack on New York and DC.
00:45:16.000They knew nuclear was a tangible threat, and they decided not to tell anyone because they figured... They didn't have... Was this a year ago, five years ago, ten years ago?
00:45:25.000Maybe Lydia can help look up the date, but... Like during the Cold War?
00:45:29.000I mean, I think he might have even broken the news like two days ago, so I'm not sure, but...
00:45:34.000You know, they didn't have full confirmation that the attack was coming.
00:45:38.000So they decided that it wasn't worth it because their level of intelligence wasn't guaranteed.
00:45:43.000And then luckily it ended up not happening.
00:45:45.000That's why I think, you know, the Preppers are laughing at us because they're like, you got these arrogant city folk who mock Preppers.
00:45:52.000And it's just like, first of all, why do I care what you think about me?
00:45:56.000Second of all, when you when when the water shuts off, the power goes out like when Hurricane Sandy hit and the power went out in New York.
00:46:03.000None of these prepper people care when there's a hurricane.
00:46:24.000I mean, granted, okay, there are some crazy truthers about certain topics, but the fact that the phrase truther is used as a pejorative is insane when you just look at it from the outside.
00:47:50.000You can be like, obviously, if you've never worked and never, you know, generated income, you're going to be a 26-year-old with all of life's responsibilities out of school and having no idea what to do.
00:48:00.000Sure, they can teach you how to play the trombone in college, or they can teach you how to, like, you know, set up a nuclear reactor, but they don't tell you how to get a job, or make money, or, or, you know, set up a banking account, or pay your taxes.
00:48:11.000Now you think about that and think about conflict and crisis.
00:48:15.000Not a person in this country save cops, veterans, and not even every veteran.
00:48:24.000There is a relatively small fraction of people in this country who have actually experienced any kind of real conflict.
00:48:31.000So most people in this country are voting based on the idea that everything is and always will be fine because it is normal to not have to worry about any of these things.
00:48:43.000And that's why decentralization is something you're sort of forced to learn, whether it's digital decentralization or physical, you know, with farms and stuff like you have to get banned in order or you have to know people who are getting banned in order to understand that you need to secure yourself.
00:49:02.000That's why it's funny when, you know, I was talking about ContraPoints earlier on one of my channels.
00:49:06.000ContraPoints is a leftist who, if you look at her Twitter accounts, I search for free speech, there's just mockery of the free speech warriors.
00:49:14.000Now all of a sudden, after one of her videos is age restricted, it's, we must stand up for free speech and the left must reclaim free speech, and it's like, My response is always, thank you, welcome to the fight, please, your advocacy for free speech is greatly welcomed, but if only you stopped treating this like a joke in a game.
00:49:31.000People who weren't being oppressed, people who weren't being targeted by a system, who did not know hardship, were laughing at those who were saying, we need to be prepared and fight this.
00:49:42.000Because they weren't experiencing the problems.
00:50:00.000You can keep betting on this idea that life is and always will be a golden age just for you.
00:50:06.000Or you can look at history and recognize, for one, Golden Age has come to an end, and two, the natural state of life on this planet is constantly stressed out, running, and struggling to survive.
00:50:17.000I did play a game of Civ where I went from Golden Age to Golden Age to Golden Age to Golden Age for like thousands and thousands of years.
00:50:37.000I think it's the same reason people sit on big tech apps because they have no reason to leave.
00:50:43.000I mean, they haven't experienced what people involved in these issues have experienced.
00:50:47.000They're not, you know, real journalists who have experienced censorship in international countries.
00:50:53.000I'm talking about international journalists who are like, you know, really getting censored by governments and whatnot.
00:50:58.000And so You know, you have to experience it.
00:51:01.000You see that really, there's a really great video from last year, where someone from the BBC is interviewing the president of Azerbaijan, and they're like, your record on press freedom is abhorrent, and he was like, what about Julian Assange?
00:51:15.000He's like, you've had this guy locked up for how many years, holding him as a hostage, and then you're gonna talk to us about press freedoms?
00:51:22.000And she's like, well, I'm not holding him, your country is doing it!
00:51:24.000So don't come to me and criticize me, and it's like, I'm pretty sure they have a very bad track record on journalism, so they don't get any free passes.
00:51:33.000Why should, you know, any one of these countries, or the US even, pretend that they're doing well?
00:51:39.000Now, keep in mind, I love when the left claims, like, press freedoms in the US under Trump slipped worse than Somalia, or whatever stupid garbage they were saying.
00:51:47.000What you have now, there was a tweet from this journalist, and she was like, I ordered a bulletproof vest that I need for doing journalism in America, and it was too small, and I was at one point kind of glad it was too small, that my bulletproof vest that I need for journalism in America wasn't gonna fit me, and I'm like... It's too big.
00:53:51.000COVID may have been really, really bad, but at least one of the positives, because there's nuance in all things.
00:53:56.000I know a lot of people are going to be like, it's controversial to say that there could be anything good coming out of something bad.
00:54:01.000No, it's that these people in cities are going to stop wasting, stop mass consumption, and start realizing that life takes hard work and responsibility, and you can't just sit back and let someone else do it, because you know what happens when you do?
00:54:15.000Or your guard comes and murders, like they say, like when people have bunkers and it's the end of the world and you're relying on your hired security, the hired security is going to come kill you and take the bunker for themselves.
00:54:27.000What's the joke from, uh, somebody superchatted us.
00:54:29.000They said, uh, on behalf of all gun, gun owners, I'd like to thank the gun control advocates for stockpiling our goods for us for the apocalypse.
00:54:38.000Yeah, what do you think's gonna happen when, if slash when, you know, there's a collapse?
00:54:42.000I think it's funny too, there was a post I saw on Facebook.
00:54:44.000And someone mentioned something about, I think they were talking about like Dogecoin.
00:54:48.000And like the skyrocketing Dogecoin, you gotta buy this currency or buy that currency because the dollar is in serious trouble.
00:54:55.000And then someone laughed saying like, you guys keep talking about some kind of like disaster collapse or civil war.
00:55:58.000Something is happening and there is a shortage of goods and computer chips and merchandise and all of the stuff is going down.
00:56:06.000And then you have these dumb people on the internet, hyper focused on whatever CNN tells them, totally ignoring whatever's happening around them.
00:56:14.000Man, I can't imagine what it's going to be like for these people when the rug gets pulled out from underneath them.
00:56:51.000And I remember, like, we, uh, so one of the things, one of the issues we have, the studio that we're in is the highest point of the building.
00:58:44.000Are you looking at the price of cryptocurrencies?
00:58:47.000Dude, these things aren't just going up in value because people finally realized that they're a technology worth using.
00:58:52.000It's because people are scared of the US dollar right now.
00:58:56.000Dude, if you were on a beach and you saw a tsunami coming that was thousands of feet high, How would you react?
00:59:03.000And I think that's what society people are doing in society right now.
00:59:06.000And you'd have people walking out into the water like their brains would break their minds.
00:59:10.000Actually, being out in the ocean is a safe place to be.
00:59:15.000You'd take your surfboard and dive it and ride it right Well, you don't want to be hit by a tsunami, but when there's boats that are a few miles out when the tsunami comes, they stay.
00:59:25.000It goes under them or it goes past them.
00:59:26.000When you're faced with the impending destruction of everything, how would you react?
00:59:31.000And I think these people are kind of seeing it's such a big problem that their minds can't calculate it, and so they just ridicule.
00:59:38.000I can't remember where it was posed, but they said, if you were sitting in Yunaka City, And you saw an ICBM coming right down, about to hit the downtown area from wherever you were.
01:00:04.000Yeah, if you saw a missile heading towards your city, depending on how close you were to city center, you would probably want to run towards it.
01:00:14.000Otherwise you could just sit there and get radiation burns and slowly melt and suffer for several hours.
01:00:19.000So I remember, I think the New York Times did this where they talked about the blast radius of your standard ICBMs and they talked about the different kinds of missiles and there's the initial blast radius which vaporizes everything.
01:00:30.000Then there's the melt radius where you would slowly just watch yourself melt in extreme suffering for like an hour.
01:00:37.000And then outside of that is the radiation poisoning, where you get to live for a little while as your DNA fractures and cracks, and then you just suffer for a long time.
01:00:45.000So, I just bring that up to your reference about a tsunami.
01:00:49.000Depending on where you were, you can accept your fate and try and get it over with quickly, or you can run and try and survive.
01:01:36.000I think a lot of really smart, I'm not saying religious, but like a lot of really smart and philosophically mature individuals would see the sun exploding and the wave coming towards them and they'd sit down and they'd close their eyes.
01:01:47.000Then you'd have a lot of really dumb people who would probably sit down and be like, wow,
01:02:05.000It's crazy that like not even countries are sort of immune to all of this.
01:02:10.000And so I think it'll be really interesting to see which countries adopt crypto and Bitcoin because the ones that do are going to lead the future.
01:02:44.000Yeah, maybe like a great reset that just resets global capitalism with a new system.
01:02:48.000You would need a new currency, and obviously the authoritarians would want to be able to track every transaction, so they would need some kind of public ledger Like a chain of maybe like blocks where you can see each transaction.
01:03:02.000Um, well because it's a reference to like, you know computers and chain block Well, no, no because it's a reference to computers, but also currency It would be something like byte or like bit and then like money or coins me like Bitcoin Bitcoin like that Yeah, that's what I would call it.
01:03:18.000So you create a trackable currency and then wipe out fiat and put everyone on the trackable currency?
01:03:24.000Yeah, then you know what everyone is spending at all times.
01:03:26.000Of course, people would try and create things like Monero.
01:03:29.000They would try and use alternative currencies that retain value because they can't be duplicated.
01:03:36.000But ultimately, I think Bitcoin is... I think Bitcoin's gonna hit a million bucks, and I think the reason it is because we need... I mean, the government would love to have this system, this global transfer of value that they can easily watch and everyone can watch, and it's the Panopticon.
01:03:57.000Yeah, there are benefits to them, but that's why they're going to be launching their own digital currency, digital currencies that are not Bitcoin, because they don't control Bitcoin is the reality.
01:04:06.000There are surveillance benefits that they get from Bitcoin, but they don't.
01:04:12.000Bitcoin empowers the people of the world.
01:08:34.000People want it, and some people want to just have it for the sake of having it.
01:08:38.000A lot do, and that's part of why it's retaining its value, because a lot of people are holding doge, and they're actually providing the liquidity for the market for all the whales who are dumping.
01:08:48.000So, you know, the bag, you know, the retail, the people are getting left holding the bags of all the people dumping.
01:09:14.000If you've got a building in the middle of Manhattan that's just falling apart, eventually someone's going to be like, this is prime real estate.
01:09:20.000We can fix this up and make it something better because everybody wants to hang out.
01:11:14.000And everyone was laughing, and it was a joke, and it was like, such currency, such crypto, wow, and everyone was like, haha, memes, memes, memes.
01:11:21.000And then I was like, whatever, and I lost them, I have no idea where any of these coins are.
01:11:25.000Now, it's worth, you know, 60 cents or whatever, and I'm like, it'd be sure great to know what happened to those coins, but I said that about everything.
01:11:32.000I had a computer with, like, Bitcoin on it, got destroyed and didn't care, and just threw it away, because it was like a dollar worth of Bitcoin that's now worth, like, a couple hundred thousand dollars, and it's all gone.
01:11:41.000So that's why I'm like, you know what?
01:11:43.000At this point, there were some other currencies that I had purchased a decent amount of, like, way back in the day.
01:11:49.000Because I was like, at some point in a few years, one of these currencies might go from, like, one cent to five cents, and I'll be really happy.
01:14:00.000And certain cryptos are more or less like, are there cryptos that are completely centralized or like one person can print?
01:14:05.000That's what a digital dollar would be.
01:14:07.000So here's the problem I see with Bitcoin, though.
01:14:09.000Only 21 million coins can ever come into existence, right?
01:14:11.000Yeah, a lot of them are already gone because when Bitcoin was valueless, people didn't care and lost them.
01:14:15.000Like that famous guy who was searching a dumpster for a trash dump for his hard drive because it had like... Oh man, by now that hard drive's probably worth like $100, $200 million.
01:14:26.000But it was like, it's worth now $2 million.
01:14:28.000He needs to go find that hard drive with his coins on it.
01:14:30.000So there is just the natural decay of Bitcoin.
01:14:36.000So over a long enough period of time, there won't be enough Bitcoin.
01:14:38.000You just you can split it up into 100 million units.
01:14:41.000Satoshi, which is the smallest unit of Bitcoin, will just appreciate in value.
01:14:47.000So it's not I don't think that the there's there's plenty of divisibility within Bitcoin.
01:14:53.000So if Bitcoin became universally adopted around the planet with, you know, 8 billion people and people need to trade with it every day, then Satoshi would have to be worth somewhere around like a nickel.
01:15:03.000He has a million Bitcoin or something.
01:15:13.000Well, because if people started to see the creator, you know, getting paper hands, that wouldn't be good.
01:15:21.000Well, so imagine Bitcoin becomes universally used, right?
01:15:25.000One Satoshi would have to be around the value of a nickel or so, as it stands today, to be able to participate in a general marketplace or labor.
01:15:36.000Theoretically, it could be around a penny per Satoshi, but I think people don't really use pennies all that much.
01:15:43.000But there's a lot of countries where a penny probably does have a lot more value.
01:15:48.000It doesn't really matter if we're using the smallest unit like in comparison to, you know, a fiat comparable.
01:15:55.000I think like right now, the Bitcoin market is like a little over a trillion.
01:15:59.000The gold market cap, for reference, is 10 trillion.
01:16:02.000So if the Bitcoin market just gets to what gold is, then we're at like 500k per Bitcoin.
01:16:09.000So you just start thinking about Bitcoin as like eating away at where resources are stored.
01:17:29.000So people often ask, what backs Bitcoin's value?
01:17:35.000And I don't know if this is like an archaic understanding, but it's the energy used to produce it.
01:17:39.000So if somebody is mining Bitcoin and it costs them, you know, $60,000 to mine one Bitcoin, they're not going to sell it for less than the cost of the production.
01:17:49.000So then they'll put it on the market and say, I got to get at least 61K and probably more than that.
01:17:54.000And then people who want to buy it because they want to use it are going to have to pay the price of what the miners are asking for.
01:18:30.000And there are like layer two things happening so that there will be other, you know, apps potentially on Bitcoin.
01:18:36.000But, you know, it's it's just crazy that this is happening.
01:18:41.000It's actually like, you know, you think it's going to help the energy situation?
01:18:45.000Well, because people like energy can be converted into Bitcoin.
01:18:49.000So like there's, you know, if you have a landfill and there's like methane overflow, like you could potentially throw a mine on top of that.
01:21:29.000Well, miners... I might be wrong here, but miners are earning fees for all the transactions that are happening in the network.
01:21:38.000That's gas and Ethereum and Bitcoin miners.
01:21:41.000Actually, in Bitcoin, after all of the mining rewards are over, which is in like 100 years or something, then fees are going to be...
01:21:50.000Rewarding all of the miners, but that's how it works in aetherium now, but there are there are also aetherium that are are getting created as well So it is yeah, I'm looking here.
01:21:59.000It says that there's whereas there's 18 million bitcoins.
01:22:02.000There's a hundred and fifteen million aetheriums and a hundred and twenty nine billion currently right now Yeah.
01:24:34.000I mean, there's a copyright chaos that is coming with NFTs because people are acting like it represents ownership of stuff that they probably don't actually own.
01:24:43.000But the thing about NFTs is that they can be used for other things, like they could be used for an insurance product.
01:24:50.000An NFT is just a non-fungible token, which is just one of it, as opposed to fungible tokens like Mines tokens, mines.com slash token, which, you know, you can create a token and there are many of one.
01:25:02.000Yeah, and they're all interchangeable.
01:25:04.000So when you think about financial markets, depending on the type of asset, a non-fungible might make more sense.
01:25:13.000So the idea in itself does make sense.
01:25:15.000The craziest thing with Ethereum, why I think Ethereum is...
01:26:08.000Minds, on the other hand, a token is how you buy views, is how you boost posts, how you buy ads.
01:26:18.000So the value of a mind's token, M-I-N-D-S, is predicated upon the robustness of the mind's audience.
01:26:25.000So if you sell, I don't know, communist pillows and Minds has, you know, millions upon millions of users, I would like to get my ridiculous communist pillow in front of these individuals.
01:26:36.000I need a Minds token to be able to purchase that.
01:26:38.000Yeah, we've been all about grounding it in real tangible value.
01:26:42.000So like actually, in addition to that, when you help stake liquidity into the network, you get passive boosts.
01:26:49.000So there's this like special boost slot on the main newsfeed on the sidebar that all it does is rotate liquidity providers.
01:26:55.000So everybody who's in that gets, based on their share of the liquidity pool, gets rotation, basically free advertising.
01:27:02.000So yeah, I mean, it's all about real value.
01:27:07.000Well, if you would like to buy, if you'd like to boost your content so you can get more followers and build a following, if you would like to get more views in your content, which in turn can help you generate more tokens, you buy the tokens, you boost.
01:27:18.000It's interesting because I'm looking at like Google Ads, for instance.
01:27:21.000Why would I spend money boosting or promoting content on Google or Facebook?
01:27:25.000Well, because then we get more audience, and then later on, we get more revenue from ads when we serve content back to people.
01:27:31.000And that's similar for what the Minds token does.
01:27:35.000Ethereum provides the ability for these things to function, for real exchanges of value, which means out of all the social networks where you could be producing something and making an earning, it's like basically YouTube and Minds.
01:27:48.000There's because, look, there's a bunch of platforms where it's like, oh, you can earn tokens and they're worth something.
01:27:53.000But I always ask people, like, why do the tokens have value?
01:27:55.000And there's nothing really backing it.
01:27:57.000It makes me feel like it's not worth the investment.
01:27:59.000But if Mines keeps growing and getting more users, then there's a more likely advertisers will say, hey, we got a network here of millions of people.
01:28:08.000And as the technology expands, it's worth holding these tokens.
01:28:11.000But beyond this, I don't want to just, you know, shout out mines, mind you.
01:28:15.000I read this really great article, they talked about how ERC-20 tokens can be used for self-driving cars.
01:28:21.000They can be used to authenticate certain... They can track, on a ledger, which car is interacting with who, and use cryptocurrencies, essentially, as a way to map out self-driving vehicles in this massive national or international grid.
01:28:37.000So your car comes into contact with another car and there's an exchange and that helps them decide which way to go left, right, up, down.
01:28:42.000And then they have a ledger where they can see every single car and they just use a blockchain to do it.
01:28:47.000Yeah, I mean, point being, look for real value in the crypto projects that you're supporting.
01:28:53.000And, you know, yeah, there are meme projects that are fun.
01:30:02.000I count, and I say, J, J, N, N, capital X, capital X, one, one.
01:30:07.000And I'm like, there's a lot of money to lose!
01:30:09.000I look at the first four letters in the alphanumeric, and the last four, and if they're the same, then I breathe easy that I copied and pasted.
01:30:40.000They are rolling out this thing called a social recovery where basically, you know, to prevent people losing millions of dollars.
01:30:48.000So basically you would be able to pick Like five people where if you do lose your device, if a certain level of consensus is met, then you can recover even if you lose your keys.
01:31:06.000So, but, but giving multiple and they all have to like convene and like agree.
01:31:11.000So it's like your, your closest friends have wallets or whatever, and they can say, we know we, we, we, we back up, you know, but they can't like, you know, have mutiny.
01:31:21.000Like basically you would have to signal.
01:31:24.000I'm not exactly sure, sure that all the mechanics, but you know, I think that that that's a major UX problem in crypto that I think will get solved eventually.
01:31:34.000Regarding the Mines token, I want to integrate it into... I don't want to pump Mines too much right now, but hey, you're here, and I'm glad.
01:31:40.000Integrate it into the Fediverse project, because like you were saying, the utility, one token is a thousand views on Mines, but if we extrapolate that to all these new networks where you can interchangeably use the token... Well, so we were talking about creating an open source package that you can install on your WordPress site that gives you a subscription feature.
01:31:59.000So any person could effectively have their own kind of Patreon without having to pay an exorbitant fee to, you know, 10% or whatever.
01:32:07.000Like, people don't realize when you sign up for these subscription services, you're giving like 10 or 15% of your revenue to this company, and you could seriously just get your own WordPress site for dirt cheap.
01:32:19.000But I understand a lot of people like, how do I set up a subscription thing?
01:32:21.000Okay, well, we'll make this thing you instantly install, and it just turns your site into a social media page.
01:32:26.000And then we were talking about incorporating crypto, and there would be a big benefit with having it interact with the Minds network, simply because there's already users there, which means, assuming we get this up and running in some meaningful time, maybe it'll take forever, maybe it'll be fast, you could be a random person who's like, I'm going to make a website for my content.
01:32:45.000How do I get the word out for my content?
01:32:46.000Well, there's already a network that exists, so if this content can integrate and appear on Minds through the Fediverse, then you instantly, on your own website, are getting promotion in a network.
01:32:57.000And then, in turn, people can subscribe to the Members Only section of your site by using Minds tokens.
01:34:46.000And I was looking at it, you know, a couple weeks ago, and there was like a bunch of yellow boxes like, this post has been removed for a violation of community standards or whatever.
01:35:44.000And so I took a picture of the Facebook message and he was like, dude, I did not send you that.
01:35:48.000So I talked to some InfoSec experts and they were saying that they thought they think what happened was the Venezuelan government or some actors working with the Venezuelan government injected Facebook so that on my end, a message would appear.
01:36:04.000They wanted me to make a phone call so that their cell towers could pinpoint my location in the country.
01:36:41.000All right, we're going to read some Super Chats.
01:36:42.000If you haven't already, smash the like button, subscribe, the notification bell, share the show with your friends, take the URL and just paste it across the board.
01:42:17.000I think it's the Peter Principle, where people hire people who are lower skilled than them until eventually you hire a bunch of really awful people.
01:42:24.000So the idea is you always want to be hiring people who you think are better than you.
01:42:29.000There's these questions that Peter tells, speaking of Peter, that he always asks to people that he's hiring, which one of them is, you know, what is your most contrarian belief? So, but
01:42:42.000those questions I think are for anyone hiring are worth looking up because he knows how to hire
01:43:57.000Because we have probably one of the most controversial ideas for a game that I don't think I've ever publicly talked about, but privately, everyone's been like, oof.
01:44:08.000But we need someone who can do a very simple FPS, and it's going to be controversial, but I imagine the NRA is going to be like, we would like to promote this and have this be available.
01:44:19.000Actually, they'd probably be like, get away from us, you're controversial.
01:44:31.000So it's like you're standing there, and there are these wire-framed dudes, and they'll shoot at you, and then you literally dodge, and the bullet goes, like, vroom, past your head.
01:45:54.000Because, uh, because of COVID, people are working remotely.
01:45:57.000So, one of the problems with remote working is that we're sitting here looking at these little screens, and it's really hard to build a culture.
01:46:04.000And what you need to understand about building culture in the workplace and why I don't want to hire anybody remote.
01:46:25.000If you're sitting in your apartment and you're on a Zoom meeting, and the meeting ends, and then you go, ooh, hot air balloon.
01:46:30.000Anyway, and you go back to eating your Cheetos, the idea goes nowhere.
01:46:33.000But if you're hanging out in the house and people are bouncing around ideas and they're playing video games, you're sharing all of these ideas and creating an opportunity to just write things down and plan for stuff.
01:46:44.000If we could throw in contacts and then be doing this, but all of a sudden we're on a stage, a virtual stage, and we can see everyone on Super Chat in the audience, And they're throwing stuff at us.
01:49:33.000The behind the scenes stuff that I was talking about is like, has anyone actually gone to a farm and asked them, is there anything going on?
01:49:39.000They're like, what are you feeding these animals?
01:49:42.000We turn on CNN, we turn on Fox News, and then we argue about the culture war.
01:49:45.000It's like, we went to go buy some farm fresh meats and then heard from the farmers about what they're dealing with from the federal government.
01:49:51.000I'm like, wow, is there news about that?
01:51:57.000It's like, you know, fronts, easy to use.
01:52:01.000It's it's yeah, so I've I've got I've got a ridiculous amount of guns at this point and You know, I think I think it's a mil spec 308 ar-15 Yeah, it's fun.
01:52:13.000But it's like, you know, whatever the m1a That one's a whole lot of fun.
01:52:24.000Mr. Brownstunt's malice shouted you out with Dave Smith on You're Welcome today, and was so elated with your Abolish the Police message being heard by your large audience, I believe he's... he's, uh, tinkled his sheath... skivvies with a bit of joy?
01:52:39.000Yeah, I saw someone tweeting about it.
01:52:41.000But my response is partially rooted in Michael's argument.
01:52:46.000He made a good point in the show when he said that he in New York should have the right to defend himself, but the cops won't allow him to bear arms, even the Constitution says he could.
01:52:54.000And I absolutely agree with his assessment.
01:52:56.000However, I don't believe that at the core of our ideological, you know, our worldviews, they're identical.
01:53:02.000My position is I still actually think we need police.
01:53:05.000The problem right now is the police are effectively a sorting algorithm to put moderates and conservatives in prison and let the far left go.
01:53:15.000So the cops are going to be neutral arbiters of the law and the DA makes sure that the far left is cut loose and the conservatives and the moderates are locked up.
01:53:22.000So you look at what the FBI did today with raiding this woman's home, and she's the wrong woman.
01:53:26.000But they can't find some Antifa guy who burned a building.
01:53:31.000So what'll happen is, these cops are like, I'm being good, I'm gonna arrest both of you, and then the Proud Boys are the ones who end up in prison.
01:53:38.000So look, I think at this point, you've got people based on tribe that are willing to support a system, which is funneling them into defeat.
01:53:47.000And if conservatives are about personal responsibility, they don't live in large, you know, urban Democrat districts.
01:53:53.000Then we should get back to owning guns and just tell people, take care of yourself.
01:53:57.000Life is not, you know, candy canes and rainbows.
01:53:59.000And you should, you should, you know, respect second amendment, keeping bare arms.
01:54:06.000All right, Tina Collette says, on the Trump Nightmare, someone is selling a Trump shower curtain.
01:54:11.000I want to buy one and sneak it into my TDS-ridden sister's bath next time I visit.
01:54:15.000At 58 years old, I am still the very bratty little sister.
01:54:51.000All right, dropforgesurvival says, as one of the larger prepper channels on YouTube, prepping saved my family, and from what I've been told by several others with the videos we've created, food, water, supplies, and finances, because you never know.
01:55:10.000Joe Macinek says, Timcast, in my tinfoil hat gorilla shirt, in my tinfoil hat gorilla shirt with my wife in her diamond hand shirt, have you guys heard of Stellar Lumens?
01:55:20.000I want to hear non-expert opinion of their token.
01:55:23.000By the way, this super chat will be worthless tomorrow.
01:56:35.000So I'm sure that's exactly what you guys are like.
01:56:37.000You really get a new appreciation for corn when you see it growing in the fields and the wind is whipping through it because it looks like silk.
01:58:17.000It was, it was stripper poles and the people, people would all grab, gather around it.
01:58:21.000And then while watching the beautiful women do their thing, they would discuss, they would, they would be discussing like around the water cooler, the way things should be.
01:59:43.000We lose a lot of vertical space, a horizontal space as you go higher, because it curves in, but they're cheap and really stable, and we could dig down also.
01:59:50.000Maybe we just get rid of the barn and put one gigantic dome over it.
01:59:55.000Hey, I did some research on the history of the word politic.
01:59:59.000Polis meant city in ancient Greek, and then politis was citizen.
02:00:04.000So ultimately that's where it came from.
02:00:09.000Josh says, have you ever thought about creating an ERC-20 token, a Timcast IRL coin, based on a smart contract to allow your viewers limited rights to support and vote for content?
02:00:18.000You could create a staking system and apply for it to be added on exchanges.
02:00:23.000It just seems like a whole lot of issues with the SEC I don't want to deal with.
02:02:47.000I was like, okay, we, we, we need to upgrade the site to handle this, this level of traffic.
02:02:51.000And then we did that and then more people signed up and I was like, we have an opportunity to actually create a network and start doing a bunch of unique content.
02:02:57.000And this kind of site we're building can't accommodate that.
02:03:00.000So we're going to need to bring in the big guns.
02:03:02.000And so we got like a really big company now who is stepping in and we're expediting the construction of a site that should allow us to make shows.
02:03:18.000So it always takes three times longer than you think.
02:03:21.000I think in five years, we're going to have some kind of Netflix.
02:03:24.000It's going to, we're going to have a bunch of our own original content, short films, movies, documentaries, and it is going to be totally independent.
02:03:32.000You know, what's funny is when I've had a lot of people come out here.
02:03:34.000So a lot of, uh, a lot of, you know, prominent personalities who are assigned to networks and they're like, so you have like investors like to help you.
02:04:55.000On the Algos, he doesn't come up as much as he did.
02:04:57.000Well, I remember on the Covington thing, he posted a video that took the side of the establishment, which was untrue, and there were a couple other things, I guess, that happened.
02:05:12.000YouTube flashed me one of those about Jake Paul, I think.
02:05:16.000It is really crazy for me to look at these other YouTubers who have been around for a lot longer than me, and I get five, ten times as many views as they do.
02:05:24.000Not on one single video, but in terms of the work that we're producing.
02:05:28.000Yeah, quality speaks volumes now, whereas back in the day it was whatever they shoveled into your mouth in like 1975 because ABC ran the airwaves basically.
02:05:36.000Now the high quality stuff gets caught, especially when you encourage people to share it and they share it.
02:06:48.000I didn't get a chance to see it, but I wanted to read it.
02:06:50.000I don't want to say it unless I can find it, but I can't find it because there's too many superchats because people love us too much, which is really great.
02:08:34.000I was like, do you know what words are?
02:08:37.000Like, I think you saw something on a story somewhere and now you're just throwing the word blockchain at me because I don't know what you're talking about.
02:08:41.000Yeah, that's the most dangerous thing in the blockchain space.
02:10:51.000Sunny James says, people don't understand there is pretty much zero to no vetting of these government-contracted security agencies like Palantir, Evolve, etc.
02:11:02.000It's a rubbing elbows with Connected game.
02:11:04.000Drones missed their targets, killing civilians in Afghanistan up to 90%.
02:13:01.000And we're gonna have a really great segment coming up.
02:13:03.000I'm gonna see if I can track down this message where I think the Venezuelan government was trying to hack Facebook to try and figure out my location and then we'll just talk about whatever.
02:13:14.000You can follow our show on Instagram at TimCastIRL, and on Facebook, facebook.com, facebook.com slash TimCastIRL, where you can share our videos so that other people get exposed to the show, and then we can drive everybody to our website instead, which will, you know, help just grow an independent website, I suppose.
02:13:31.000And don't forget to follow us on Mines.
02:13:37.000Yeah, I think Mines is a thing where the YouTube auto-posts to Mines, but IRL is not auto-posting right now.
