Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - AOC Cries When Almost EVERY Rep Votes Against Her w-Malcolm FleX

00:00:00.000 Peace.

00:00:20.000 What is the Iron Dome defense system?

00:00:21.000 Well, it is a system of anti-rocket rockets.

00:00:25.000 When rockets are launched from Gaza or other places, the Iron Dome tracks those missiles down and destroys them in the air.

00:00:31.000 It is a defensive system to protect Israel from terror attacks. 0.59

00:00:37.000 For that reason, or for whatever reason, I don't know, for whatever reason, AOC wanted to defund this $1 billion taken out of the budget bill so that Israel would not get funding to build their defensive system.

00:00:48.000 Well, it went to a vote.

00:00:50.000 And unsurprisingly, 420 people voted yes to fund the Iron Dome.

00:00:55.000 That is bipartisanship right in front of your eyes.

00:00:59.000 AOC began crying.

00:01:01.000 I think this is important because it shows you, look, I know a lot of people are probably like, oh, Tim's just ragging on AOC.

00:01:06.000 No, it really does show you that this progressive world or whatever it is, this worldview is fake.

00:01:13.000 That AOC has so much support.

00:01:16.000 All over the country and all of this money.

00:01:18.000 And she's so popular with all these followers.

00:01:20.000 And that position held by her and her followers is like, defund the Iron Dome.

00:01:24.000 And then basically everyone in Congress is like, yeah, we're not gonna do that.

00:01:30.000 That's insane.

00:01:31.000 And she starts crying over it.

00:01:33.000 She is nowhere near the average American. 0.94

00:01:36.000 She represents a fringe minority and this is the perfect example. 1.00

00:01:39.000 And her behavior is a perfect example.

00:01:41.000 But there is really, really big news as well.

00:01:43.000 Gas shortages.

00:01:44.000 Driver shortages.

00:01:45.000 Becoming gas shortages.

00:01:47.000 Becoming natural gas shortages, my friends.

00:01:49.000 I hope you're paying attention to this, but we do have a bunch of other news and updates we'll get into.

00:01:53.000 We are being joined today by a political activist.

00:01:56.000 Somebody with experience in biological research, I suppose.

00:01:59.000 Malcolm Flex.

00:02:00.000 How's it going, man?

00:02:01.000 You want to introduce yourself?

00:02:02.000 Oh, don't mind if I do.

00:02:04.000 Yes.

00:02:04.000 So, uh, I actually go by Malcolm Flex and pretty much I am what you would call a mishmash of a bunch of different recurring tropes and themes all rolled into one package.

00:02:14.000 But one of the most salient themes that a lot of people see on my social media is that yes, I do work in research and biological of the sort, which is pretty much become in vogue, you know, given the recent events that, you know, we'll probably delve into.

00:02:29.000 So, I know a lot about scientific method, about research, all of that good jazz that people are now saying that we should trust blindly, even though it's antithetical to science.

00:02:38.000 But hey, we can get into it.

00:02:40.000 And general news.

00:02:41.000 We'll have a good conversation.

00:02:42.000 Oh my god, I love general news.

00:02:42.000 It should be fun.

00:02:44.000 Good lord, it's a break.

00:02:45.000 Alright.

00:02:45.000 But yeah.

00:02:46.000 Well, man, thanks for coming.

00:02:47.000 We got E and E's hanging out.

00:02:48.000 Actor, musician, social media entrepreneur coming at you.

00:02:50.000 What's up?

00:02:51.000 Talent stack, baby. 0.53

00:02:52.000 I love it.

00:02:53.000 Good to see you again, brother.

00:02:54.000 Hello, everyone.

00:02:55.000 Here we are.

00:02:56.000 Yeah, and I'm gonna try to keep the mood a little bit light because Malcolm loves to deliver black pills and Tim is not the cheeriest commentator himself, so... The end is here!

00:03:04.000 I'm mad at other people!

00:03:05.000 That's right, yep.

00:03:06.000 Everybody's down and out, but... Before we get started, recognize the end is here and all this... I'm kidding.

00:03:11.000 Go to TimCast.com, become a member, and you'll get access to exclusive members-only segments of the TimCast IRL podcast.

00:03:15.000 However!

00:03:16.000 We're actually about to launch the Green Room show, surprisingly soon, because this is when the guests show up, and there's a few minutes where they're chilling, they're at the bar, in the Green Room, and we film these conversations that are fairly random, and I think it's really fun.

00:03:29.000 So we're gonna, those are about 15-minute segments that will be up exclusive for members, and they'll exist nowhere else, just so that there is more content we can produce for you.

00:03:36.000 And we got the Mysteries show, we're waiting for the music to be completed, but we're almost there, so that should be about a week or so, perhaps, hopefully.

00:03:41.000 Fingers crossed.

00:03:43.000 And you'll get an ad-free experience on all of our articles.

00:03:55.000 Let's read the news.

00:03:58.000 My friends, this story from the Daily Mail is a really good example of our political dysfunction.

00:04:02.000 AOC bursts into tears as Iron Dome's $1 billion funding is overwhelmingly approved in-house.

00:04:11.000 420 votes to 9.

00:04:13.000 Rashida Tlaib is accused of anti-Semitism by fellow Democrat after she called Israel a violent apartheid system.

00:04:22.000 9.

00:04:23.000 That's what AOC represents.

00:04:25.000 She got 12 million followers on Twitter.

00:04:27.000 This is what you need to understand.

00:04:28.000 I'm going to start off and I'm going to give you the hard facts and then we'll talk about this stuff.

00:04:32.000 AOC does not represent her district.

00:04:36.000 AOC represents fringe political individuals across the country who funnel money into her district, which she uses as a vehicle to sit in Congress. 0.54

00:04:45.000 I'm not saying that to disparage her character, but to point out her ideas probably don't fly in her own district.

00:04:52.000 The things her district cares about, they probably don't know what she's talking about.

00:04:55.000 But as Nancy Pelosi said, you could take a glass of water with a D on it, and it's going to win in Nancy or AOC's district.

00:05:02.000 That's what Nancy Pelosi said, my or her district.

00:05:05.000 So what happens is, there's no real Republican competition.

00:05:08.000 There's no strong primary.

00:05:09.000 AOC has too much money from external sources.

00:05:13.000 The same is true for other squad members.

00:05:15.000 Their politics are popular with fringe political groups, but a fringe political group is still substantive when they can coalesce online and funnel funding to politicians like AOC.

00:05:25.000 This manifests in AOC wanting to defund Israel's defensive system.

00:05:30.000 The Iron Dome isn't bombing children.

00:05:32.000 It's protecting Israel from rocket attacks.

00:05:35.000 Now, by all means, criticize Israel for all that stuff. 0.78

00:05:37.000 I'm just saying, Iron Dome, that's the job it does.

00:05:40.000 If you want to defund Israel or something like that, why take away the Iron Dome of all things?

00:05:44.000 Well, that's what AOC tried to do.

00:05:46.000 And as you can see, Overwhelmingly.

00:05:49.000 Like, I mean beyond overwhelmingly.

00:05:51.000 You get to see that AOC is shown what her politics really represent.

00:05:55.000 Nobody.

00:05:56.000 Now I will say, there are a lot of conservatives, libertarians who are pointing out, yeah, but we shouldn't be funding the Iron Dome.

00:06:01.000 Why is the U.S.

00:06:01.000 giving a billion dollars to Israel for this?

00:06:04.000 And my attitude is not, you know, I'm actually partially in agreement with that.

00:06:08.000 I actually think it's a great argument.

00:06:09.000 Why are we funding all this stuff?

00:06:10.000 Even South Korea, even in Germany.

00:06:13.000 That being said, and we can discuss this, it represents that AOC is not in alignment with where most people in this country are when they think about providing support to our allies.

00:06:22.000 Now, people can certainly say Afghanistan is bad, but Israel is a different story.

00:06:26.000 It's an ally of the United States in a war-torn Middle East that provides stability and people support that, whether you agree with Americans' foreign policy or not.

00:06:34.000 I think we can see here, perhaps, just good evidence.

00:06:38.000 Aside from like all the stories where you see the media lying, there's another good example of how broken our political system is.

00:06:43.000 I don't know if you guys have any thoughts.

00:06:46.000 I saw, I think it was around Occupy Wall Street that something came out and said that Congress is like, doesn't do what the American people want.

00:06:53.000 They do what their business associates want.

00:06:55.000 So I think that this...

00:06:56.000 Massive 460 to 9 vote or whatever isn't necessarily indicative that the American people want it, but that the politicians and their business contracts want it.

00:07:07.000 I somewhat agree with you.

00:07:09.000 It is true that Congress, public opinion typically does not move congressional votes.

00:07:17.000 But I gotta say, man, I do think the majority of Americans want to make sure Israel's not blown off the face of the earth.

00:07:22.000 That's a big, that's definitely a big sticking point.

00:07:25.000 Especially just, even when you look at moderate Democrats, I mean, they still have a healthy respect for Israel.

00:07:32.000 And, you know, there is still a very big religious section of our country.

00:07:38.000 And, you know, Israel holds a specific significance, you know, whether or not you want to debate against that or you want to debate for that.

00:07:45.000 A lot of people, Israel's still near and dear to them.

00:07:48.000 Now I have the question though for AOC, why does she want to see brown people get blown up? 0.97

00:07:53.000 Like, why? 0.89

00:07:55.000 It's just a mindless talking point.

00:07:58.000 It is.

00:07:58.000 Like, there's a legitimate talking point in, why are we providing funding, you know, to these foreign, like we should, America first is an argument, right?

00:08:05.000 Yeah.

00:08:05.000 We should fix the pipes in our own cities and the streets and the infrastructure before we, but then there's the, like, There's a legitimate argument for the Middle East is horribly destabilized.

00:08:15.000 Israel is a stable nation.

00:08:17.000 They're an ally.

00:08:18.000 Yes.

00:08:18.000 I get the argument on the libertarian stuff about funding and foreign policy stuff.

00:08:22.000 Okay, I get that.

00:08:24.000 But we're not talking about sending in troops.

00:08:25.000 We're not talking about occupation.

00:08:29.000 We're not talking about selling weapons to the Saudis.

00:08:32.000 We're talking about the Iron Dome.

00:08:33.000 Now, if you want to talk about Israel being bad in terms of what's going on with Gaza and the missile strikes, I'm fairly moderate on this one.

00:08:41.000 I do think the real argument comes from the libertarian position, not necessarily just right-wing, just the general, why are we focused on foreign excursions?

00:08:50.000 The founding father said we shouldn't be doing this kind of stuff, and we are.

00:08:53.000 Okay, fair point.

00:08:55.000 Most Americans, I think, recognize that we have international allies and that Israel is particularly vulnerable with all of these different places in the Middle East.

00:09:01.000 I want to blow it up, so we provide them with military support.

00:09:03.000 And out of $3.5 trillion, a billion isn't as much.

00:09:06.000 I gotta say, if you come to me and you tell me that they want to do $12 million for Pakistani gender studies, I'll be like, that's insane.

00:09:12.000 If they say, we think there should be a missile defense system for Israel, I'm like, well, that I understand.

00:09:17.000 Now, I'm a bit of a milquetoast fence-sitter on this one.

00:09:20.000 There's a foreign policy argument versus a supporting our allies argument.

00:09:23.000 The point is, AOC doesn't represent America in this regard.

00:09:30.000 I think she doesn't represent America on most anything.

00:09:32.000 She represents the fringe minority.

00:09:34.000 She doesn't even go there. 0.99

00:09:35.000 It's an odd position to have, number one, that it's a defensive system, as you've reiterated time and time again.

00:09:43.000 Why do you not want a nation to be able to at least defend itself you okay you can take the side that you want that you side with Hamas you think that a lot of people over there on that side have been basically disenfranchised by the Israeli government and again that's the conversation to be had but at the same time why do you want to basically disarm a group and allow them to Be vulnerable to more combat, more injuries, and proliferate the same warfare that you complain about Israel, you know, just engaging in.

00:10:18.000 That's a big issue.

00:10:19.000 So I'll say this too, Ian.

00:10:20.000 Like, I definitely agree with you on the politicians are just supported by their big corporate donors and the political action committees.

00:10:26.000 What do you think would happen if we defunded the Iron Dome?

00:10:31.000 Oh, you'd probably see more attacks on Israel, I would imagine.

00:10:33.000 I mean, that's a vague way of saying what might happen.

00:10:35.000 And what will those more attacks result in?

00:10:38.000 With no defensive capabilities?

00:10:40.000 You know, obviously, like death and destruction of the infrastructure.

00:10:43.000 I think it's really... Of the infrastructure?

00:10:45.000 Yeah, the infrastructure.

00:10:46.000 You mean the people will start getting killed?

00:10:48.000 Death and destruction of the infrastructure. 0.82

00:10:50.000 It's kind of like a pie in the sky, kind of an ignorant thing to be like, if we stop funding it, then it'll go away.

00:10:56.000 I mean, you see what cutting things out cold turkey did over there in Afghanistan, right?

00:11:01.000 Again, you can say what you want.

00:11:02.000 Yeah, we shouldn't have been over there.

00:11:03.000 But now that we're in it again, you cannot just leave it worse than you, you know, worse than you came in.

00:11:09.000 And that's the problem.

00:11:10.000 That felt like it was on purpose.

00:11:11.000 Yeah.

00:11:12.000 Again.

00:11:12.000 Yeah.

00:11:13.000 I know you've said it multiple times.

00:11:14.000 They're punishing the anti-war people.

00:11:15.000 They're like, Hey, this is what happens when America doesn't get involved.

00:11:19.000 People kill themselves.

00:11:19.000 stuff happens. A lot of really great questions have arisen recently which is

00:11:24.000 really things are getting kind of weird right so first people were saying oh we

00:11:27.000 shouldn't be in Afghanistan what about South Korea why are we there and I'm

00:11:31.000 like that's actually a good point like I understand why we're there because North

00:11:33.000 Korea there's still a war and because they'd love to just trample in and they 1.00

00:11:37.000 need support it's a good question you know we went there because of basically

00:11:40.000 the Cold War these proxy wars and why are we in Germany now that Donald Trump

00:11:45.000 asked and we all agreed why are we in Germany like let's get out so Afghanistan 1.00

00:11:50.000 I get the idea of like protecting Afghanistan but all of a sudden people

00:11:53.000 start saying hey wait a minute If we shouldn't be there, should we be in these other

00:11:56.000 places?

00:11:57.000 And I think a lot of these places, the answer is no, we shouldn't.

00:11:59.000 I think the answer for Afghanistan, no, we shouldn't. 1.00

00:12:01.000 However, I think the answer for Afghanistan was don't abandon Bagram Air Force Base and

00:12:03.000 provide logistics so that the Afghan army can maintain defense of their cities

00:12:08.000 and not let them fall so quick.

00:12:09.000 And then lie about it after they're sitting up here begging you,

00:12:13.000 begging you for your air capabilities.

00:12:15.000 Just a little bit, just a smidgen, maybe a drone strike here, you know, hold off the bad men.

00:12:20.000 For once, Joe Biden, for once, when you're being asked.

00:12:23.000 Ran off on the plug at midnight.

00:12:26.000 He did the drone strike, but he killed kids.

00:12:28.000 And I'm just like... Ten, right?

00:12:29.000 Ten people?

00:12:29.000 Mission accomplished, righteous strike, guys, righteous strike.

00:12:32.000 We did it.

00:12:33.000 We were asking you to use your military capabilities against the guys who were executing the Afghan soldiers.

00:12:40.000 Not the kids in the building in the urban environment!

00:12:44.000 So look, it's the Democratic Party, man.

00:12:46.000 I'm sorry, they're a disaster in this regard.

00:12:48.000 You know what else is crazy, though, is one of the other things that's coming out of this political space with the overt tribalism is now we've even got, I think in Florida, they're questioning all vaccine mandates.

00:12:57.000 Where they're basically like, someone said, oh, well, you're saying no vaccine mandate for COVID, but what about mumps?

00:13:02.000 And a guy went, okay, that's a good point.

00:13:04.000 Yeah, let's get rid of the vaccine.

00:13:05.000 And then everyone's like, wait, wait, no, don't do that.

00:13:08.000 Much too fast.

00:13:09.000 We're opening doors that should not be open and again it's just the Democrats are pushing there you know they're treading on sacred spaces that you know we have had long-standing traditions for and now they're over here trying to erode those traditions and it's starting to cause a lot of people to ask questions like okay so why are we why are we doing it this way if you're saying that this doesn't work and The truth is, they don't have an internal layer of consistency behind their reasoning.

00:13:35.000 It's partisan politics at its finest.

00:13:38.000 And it's something that you get when you don't have two healthy wings.

00:13:41.000 You don't have a healthy Democratic Party.

00:13:43.000 Let me just say that.

00:13:44.000 And a Republican Party.

00:13:45.000 It's finally reforming under this new populist base.

00:13:48.000 So what ends up happening is that when one wing is not healthy, it's going to try to choke the other.

00:13:53.000 It's going to fall.

00:13:54.000 Yeah.

00:13:55.000 And then what do you get?

00:13:56.000 You get single party politics.

00:13:57.000 People like AOC that sit up here and start pushing these fringe beliefs because again, they need to, you know, they got to say something.

00:14:04.000 Well, look at, um, you look at some of these news stories.

00:14:07.000 Like today, there was a story about Steve Bannon and all these leftists are like, Steve Bannon admits to planning the insurrection.

00:14:14.000 And then you actually watch it and Steve Bannon's like, on January 5th, I was talking about Trump to help organize a rally.

00:14:19.000 And I'm like, oh.

00:14:20.000 And they took that and they turned it into him saying, like them saying he planned the insurrection.

00:14:25.000 And then you get Lawrence Tribe being like, why isn't the DOJ acting?

00:14:29.000 He's confessed.

00:14:30.000 It's criminal code, blah, blah, blah. 1.00

00:14:31.000 And I'm like, they don't know that the FBI said there was no insurrection or they're just idiots. 0.99

00:14:37.000 Now imagine this, a group of people who don't know what's going on, who believe all this fake news and false framing, then going and voting on policy. 1.00

00:14:45.000 For AOC, she got a cold wake up call.

00:14:48.000 Like, hey, guess what?

00:14:48.000 You're in a cult.

00:14:50.000 People don't want this! 0.69

00:14:52.000 Look, I don't like the foreign intervention in Forever Wars.

00:14:55.000 Israel's different.

00:14:57.000 That's a rockin' hard place for me, because I understand the libertarian argument of, like, let's not just give funding to Israel, what's the point?

00:15:02.000 And then also, we're not asking for a military occupation.

00:15:05.000 We're not asking for an invasion.

00:15:07.000 We're just saying, like, these other countries want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth?

00:15:11.000 Okay, they can get a missile defense system.

00:15:13.000 I'm not necessarily a big fan of that idea, but I'm also not in the position where I'm gonna be as strong as I was in Afghanistan or these other countries and be like, pull out all US support for weapons and all that stuff, right?

00:15:23.000 It's like, what do you do?

00:15:24.000 Again, you're already in it.

00:15:26.000 You gotta actually go win it.

00:15:27.000 But can I just say one thing?

00:15:30.000 We need our top meme makers to get on it.

00:15:33.000 Make a meme of AOC crying with 420 in the background.

00:15:36.000 Do it.

00:15:37.000 This is for American history.

00:15:39.000 We need this.

00:15:40.000 Come on, guys.

00:15:43.000 I like she's legit crying.

00:15:44.000 No, I'm not even playing like look at this.

00:15:48.000 So she's like, She's crying.

00:15:54.000 That's crazy to me, man.

00:15:55.000 Oh, God.

00:15:56.000 This Israel thing is so wild. 0.91

00:15:58.000 This Israel thing, the country of Israel.

00:16:00.000 Then there's like the Jewish population and it's like a Jewish state, I think.

00:16:04.000 So it's like a theocratic state, which is very unique in the world.

00:16:07.000 There's not a lot of them anyway.

00:16:08.000 It's very, very... And then you go back to the Sykes-Picot Agreement and the Balfour Declaration after World War I or during World War I, where they kind of set up Israel, the French and the British.

00:16:15.000 Ian, I got to stop you right there.

00:16:16.000 Theocratic countries?

00:16:18.000 Like the majority of countries.

00:16:23.000 But they're not, I guess, not unique, but uncommon.

00:16:25.000 It's mostly... No, no, no.

00:16:26.000 Most states aren't religious states.

00:16:28.000 Yeah, they are.

00:16:28.000 They actually are.

00:16:29.000 America's particularly unique in that regard.

00:16:31.000 Well, Russia's not. 0.79

00:16:32.000 Spain's not.

00:16:33.000 I think you're wrong.

00:16:34.000 Libya's not. 0.97

00:16:34.000 Forgive me if I'm wrong. 0.97

00:16:35.000 Weren't we founded on deism?

00:16:37.000 Or, like, just having the ability to question, but knowing that there is a power?

00:16:43.000 I can't quite remember.

00:16:44.000 We're not a Christian state, is what I mean. 0.99

00:16:47.000 Like, it's a Jewish state.

00:16:48.000 It's like a Jewish state.

00:16:49.000 Well, they are the only Jewish state, but there are tons of Middle Eastern countries that are, like, Muslim states.

00:16:54.000 Like, a lot, a lot of them.

00:16:56.000 I don't know about Asian, well, like, lots of Asian countries as well.

00:17:00.000 There's some Muslim Asian countries.

00:17:01.000 There's India is, like, Buddhist, right? 0.51

00:17:04.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:17:05.000 The Indian subcontinent is very religious, but I know Far East Asia, you know, they're

00:17:09.000 a little bit interesting because yeah, they are very like technocratic.

00:17:13.000 They're moving beyond a lot of unified religion.

00:17:15.000 I mean, you just have too many religious practices there anyways that you can't have a unified

00:17:20.000 state religion.

00:17:21.000 Right, right.

00:17:22.000 And that's, it's not a problem.

00:17:24.000 I mean, sometimes I think what confuses it, Judaism is a religion, but Judaism is also a bloodline.

00:17:31.000 So that's unique in all religions.

00:17:32.000 There's no other religion where you're like a Christian by blood. 0.74

00:17:35.000 It's always, you choose to become it.

00:17:37.000 That's true.

00:17:37.000 But I don't think the belief structure of the people in Israel is the issue here.

00:17:40.000 And I wonder if part of the strong reaction to what AOC wanted was because of what happened when we pulled out of Afghanistan.

00:17:48.000 You know, in a way it kind of is because the Jewish population, maybe not needed, but they didn't have a place to live.

00:17:54.000 They were like persecuted throughout time for whatever reason and so they needed a place to find...

00:17:59.000 To live, to settle, and it was either going to be in Northeast Africa, and then they decided to move it to where it is today.

00:18:03.000 I got an update.

00:18:04.000 Fact check.

00:18:06.000 80 countries have a state religion out of 195 countries in the world.

00:18:10.000 So I would argue it's fairly... Almost half.

00:18:14.000 Almost half.

00:18:15.000 So maybe uncommon is a little unfair, but not completely.

00:18:21.000 What makes it unique is that it's a culture and a religion.

00:18:24.000 That's very unique.

00:18:25.000 Judaism is incredibly unique.

00:18:28.000 When you look at the way it was formed, basically the British and the French betrayed the Arabs to form it.

00:18:33.000 So the Arabs have had this stick about, I want that land, you told us we could have that land. 0.97

00:18:39.000 You're treading on thin ice, my friend.

00:18:41.000 Yeah, yeah, look up the Sykes-Picot Agreement.

00:18:43.000 So the Arabs betrayed the Ottomans in World War I, and that's how basically the Allies won the war, the French and the Germans, or the British and the French won the war.

00:18:50.000 And the French and the British promised the Arabs that area.

00:18:53.000 They were legal nations, right?

00:18:55.000 Uh, maybe, yeah, I'm not 100% sure.

00:18:57.000 And then, so, when they won the war, the Arabs betrayed the Ottomans, and our side won, and then they, you know, they said, sorry, we're not gonna give you that land now.

00:19:06.000 And so the Arabs were like, it's 100 years later, and they're still like, you said it was ours, give it to us. 1.00

00:19:12.000 Here's what I say to most people, right?

00:19:13.000 There's really interesting challenges when you have older generations making political arguments off experiences the younger generations don't have.

00:19:20.000 I grew up in a world where there's the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

00:19:23.000 It's literally, there's war going on.

00:19:25.000 And everybody wants to make justifications for why one country should have control of this land, or that country, or this land, or this state agreement, two state agreement, one state agreement.

00:19:34.000 And I'm like, yo, I wasn't alive for most of this.

00:19:37.000 And over time, there's attrition in the conflict was started by people who are long since dead.

00:19:42.000 And we're now at a point where you can make any argument in the world you want for land ownership.

00:19:48.000 But throughout history, it's people and land are conquered, and I'm not a fan of war, and I'm not a fan of provocation and aggression.

00:19:56.000 But at this point, I don't know.

00:19:59.000 So right now, it's just like, yo, stop fighting.

00:20:02.000 Hey, get a missile defense system so you can stop the missiles.

00:20:05.000 It's kind of like the monkey in the ladder thing, you know, something becomes tradition.

00:20:09.000 Originally, the tradition had a pragmatic purpose.

00:20:12.000 But then at some point, people just constantly repeat that tradition over and over and over again until the original meaning was lost, even if it doesn't exist.

00:20:21.000 But now the question I have is if you support Israel, But you're also fairly, you know, conservative.

00:20:28.000 Does that mean that you support a post-national authority making such a big ruling such as this land should be ceded to the Israeli? 0.62

00:20:37.000 Because that's what the League of Nations is.

00:20:39.000 And we fought against post-national authorities like, again, like the EU, you know, that whole deal, trying to have this whole one world order type of thing.

00:20:47.000 That's what they tried to establish back in the day.

00:20:49.000 They're still doing it.

00:20:50.000 I mean, they still want to.

00:20:52.000 So do you support that?

00:20:53.000 Because that's basically the argument that I hear a lot of times when they say that you support Israel's right to be a country.

00:20:59.000 You say that post-national authority that's long gone, long dissolved, supersedes anybody else's claim to that land.

00:21:06.000 You know, this is a much too complicated subject.

00:21:10.000 I would say I don't support post-national authority, but Israel is a country now. 0.64

00:21:16.000 It's there.

00:21:16.000 So we can't pretend like we're not deciding whether or not we're going to create it anymore.

00:21:20.000 It's there.

00:21:21.000 It's like Afghanistan. 0.99

00:21:22.000 We shouldn't have just pretended like it never happened and disappear.

00:21:25.000 We can't do that with Israel. 0.99

00:21:26.000 Israel is a real place.

00:21:27.000 We got to treat it like it.

00:21:28.000 Well, there are challenges with the West Bank.

00:21:30.000 Palestine supposedly is a real place, you know? 0.88

00:21:32.000 I don't have enough knowledge.

00:21:35.000 You know, I'll get flak if I'm like, hey, the West Bank and the illegal settlements, what's up with that? 0.55

00:21:40.000 And then I'll get two completely distinct arguments, two completely distinct sets of facts.

00:21:45.000 And I'm like, this history is so deep seated that you can actually look up historical sources that will contradict another historical source and it becomes impossible.

00:21:54.000 Exactly.

00:21:55.000 Too many motivations.

00:21:57.000 We just have to let it play out and hope and, you know, depending on your religious predilection, pray that there's some kind of peace there.

00:22:04.000 I would pray for religious tolerance among the Arab... what is it?

00:22:08.000 The Jewish population?

00:22:12.000 And then who?

00:22:13.000 The Arabs are Muslim? 0.86

00:22:15.000 Is it the Muslim population?

00:22:17.000 The United States is so wonderful with our religious, you know, congruency that I would love to see that there.

00:22:23.000 In Israel, it's like, I've been to Tel Aviv.

00:22:26.000 You walk around, everything's like, it feels like America almost.

00:22:29.000 I mean, obviously people are speaking Hebrew and I couldn't speak a lick of Hebrew, so I was unable to like shop.

00:22:33.000 But I'm walking around and it was just like people going to malls and you know, there was like food carts and stuff.

00:22:38.000 It was just fairly urban and like, I say secular in the sense that people wore regular clothes like you'd experience in any major city.

00:22:47.000 I've been to Egypt.

00:22:49.000 And when I was at the Hilton, they had a casino and Egyptian citizens, it's illegal for them to enter. 1.00

00:22:55.000 I've been to Morocco.

00:22:57.000 They have these laws.

00:22:58.000 It's very, very, very different.

00:23:00.000 So you go to Israel and a lot of people are like, it's a very secular place in the middle of a lot of religious theocracy.

00:23:06.000 I feel like that's almost a prototype, and I know there was a lot of financial interest when it came to Afghanistan, but I feel like that was kind of the prototype for what we were trying to set up in Afghanistan.

00:23:15.000 You know, minus, again, Halliburton and all the military contractors, and again, setting up that whole Qatar-Turkey pipeline deal, you know, having staging area over that way.

00:23:25.000 Well, how about we move on to a different subject, speaking of the Qatar-Turkey pipeline.

00:23:29.000 See, that's a good one.

00:23:30.000 A lot of people don't know a lot about the pipeline.

00:23:32.000 The Qatar-Turkey pipeline is basically the basis for the U.S.

00:23:36.000 involvement in Syria.

00:23:37.000 I love bringing it up because people need to know this.

00:23:38.000 The U.S.

00:23:39.000 has been preparing to invade Syria going back well before the Syrian civil war.

00:23:43.000 They wanted to have Qatar build a pipeline up through Syria, through Turkey, into Europe to offset Russian gas monopolies.

00:23:49.000 And Syria said, we will not betray our ally, Russia.

00:23:52.000 So then the U.S.

00:23:53.000 was like, we're going to destabilize Syria and then they won't be allies anymore.

00:23:56.000 Proxy wars.

00:23:56.000 Surprise, surprise.

00:23:57.000 Yeah.

00:23:58.000 We needed access to Europe and Syria was in the way. 0.85

00:24:01.000 And then Russia and Syria said, we're going to have Iran tap the same gas well and then send the pipeline through Iraq.

00:24:08.000 And it was just like, wow.

00:24:10.000 Basically, the U.S.

00:24:11.000 had a plan, and they were like, we're gonna undercut you, and the U.S. 0.77

00:24:13.000 was like, war.

00:24:14.000 But anyway, speaking of gas, we're in trouble, baby.

00:24:18.000 We got this story from DW.com.

00:24:21.000 BP limits U.K.

00:24:23.000 petrol deliveries as driver shortage bites.

00:24:25.000 The old company is set to restrict deliveries of petrol and diesel to some gas stations in the face of a driver shortage happening in the U.K., like we saw here in the U.S.

00:24:33.000 A lack of drivers, a lack of stations, and then what we saw in the U.S.

00:24:38.000 was that the federal government comes out, and they're like, there is no gas shortage.

00:24:41.000 And then you're like, then why are all my gas stations empty?

00:24:43.000 Oh, because your gas stations are empty, but we have gas nationally.

00:24:47.000 And it's like, yo, that's a gas shortage.

00:24:49.000 Like for me and my family and where I live.

00:24:52.000 And then we get this from The Economist.

00:24:55.000 Natural gas shortages threaten government's green goals.

00:24:58.000 The U.S.

00:24:59.000 dollar is backed by energy, by oil, by fossil fuels.

00:25:04.000 People need to understand that the comfort of their lives here in the United States is based on the fact that we print these dollars, we borrow this money, we can just manifest it, and we can buy oil with it.

00:25:12.000 But with these energy shortages, you want to talk about crises?

00:25:15.000 A food shortage is bad.

00:25:16.000 What you gonna eat?

00:25:18.000 But if we have the energy to produce, it could be an economic bump.

00:25:21.000 But if we don't have the energy, if we don't have the drivers to transport it, yo, the long fall is coming soon, man.

00:25:27.000 Addicted to electricity?

00:25:29.000 I remember I said- I mean, built upon it.

00:25:31.000 Are we addicted to the chair?

00:25:33.000 Like, we're sitting on chairs?

00:25:35.000 I'm addicted to oxygen.

00:25:36.000 No, but people say, we're addicted to fossil fuels.

00:25:38.000 And I'm like, no, fossil fuels are the support beams which support our civilization that we've built upon.

00:25:43.000 When we're in a skyscraper, we're like, it's unfortunate that we're addicted to these central steel columns.

00:25:47.000 No, that's just what we built to maintain the structure.

00:25:50.000 Yeah, I think electricity is a natural evolution of our species.

00:25:54.000 It is, to a certain extent.

00:25:57.000 I mean, again, electricity powers a lot of processes.

00:26:00.000 You need electricity just as a mere means of converting energy.

00:26:07.000 Let me ask you a question.

00:26:09.000 Yeah.

00:26:10.000 How do we make electricity in the United States?

00:26:12.000 You do have to use gas.

00:26:13.000 You've got to power certain mechanical apparatuses and those run on chemical energy from gas.

00:26:19.000 So, uh, what do we do with the gas?

00:26:21.000 I'm not, I'm not trying to put you on the spot.

00:26:25.000 You, uh, typically drill it, you, uh, transport it via pipelines.

00:26:28.000 It's got little substations, way stations, you can get it.

00:26:31.000 But then what do we do with the gas to get electricity?

00:26:35.000 You don't have to know.

00:26:36.000 Most people don't.

00:26:37.000 Right.

00:26:38.000 Go ahead and tell me.

00:26:39.000 So in gas factories, we will burn the gas to heat water, which creates pressure and spins a turbine.

00:26:48.000 A large magnet and a rotating magnetic field will generate an electrical current.

00:26:55.000 But natural gas isn't the only way.

00:26:57.000 It's not the most prominent.

00:26:57.000 I think coal is actually still the plurality of how we produce energy.

00:27:04.000 Do you know how we turn coal into electricity?

00:27:09.000 Go ahead and tell me the process.

00:27:10.000 All right. So we heated it. We set it on fire and that energy out of the coal heats water, which creates pressure

00:27:16.000 and the steam pressure exiting, you know, the system will spin a turbine.

00:27:20.000 Large magnetics rotating will create an electrical current.

00:27:23.000 So do you know how solar farms generate electricity or actually nuclear power?

00:27:28.000 You know, nuclear power? Yes.

00:27:29.000 Now, nuclear power is one of the that's actually one of the easier ones where you actually split, say, a subatomic

00:27:35.000 particle.

00:27:36.000 Again, it actually releases, it releases the alpha waves, the beta waves, but the gamma waves are high energy, and you can actually contain that.

00:27:44.000 How do we turn that nuclear reaction into electricity?

00:27:49.000 The rods are sitting in water, which boils, steam pressure, then spins a turbine, a large magnet.

00:27:56.000 Alright, now solar farms, this is my favorite, I love this.

00:28:00.000 Now, there's two kinds, to be fair.

00:28:02.000 But early solar farms were giant arrays of mirrors focusing sunlight on large vats of, I believe, salt water, which pressurized to spin a turbine.

00:28:12.000 Yo, the way we make electricity in this country is figuring out ways to boil water.

00:28:15.000 I'm sensing it.

00:28:16.000 I was just about to say, I'm sensing the theme.

00:28:19.000 It's salt, molten salt.

00:28:21.000 Thorium salt reactors.

00:28:22.000 They'll boil salt and it'll stay hot for days.

00:28:22.000 Yep.

00:28:25.000 So you get heat all night and then you can boil the water with it.

00:28:28.000 We do now have photovoltaic solar fields, which it actually, the photon hits an electron causing it to move, generating a current.

00:28:37.000 And so once we get to a certain level of efficiency, but the simplest way to put it is we generate electricity by spinning turbines.

00:28:45.000 Getting a large magnet to spin creates a current.

00:28:47.000 So we have tidal energy.

00:28:48.000 This is really, really cool.

00:28:49.000 When the tide comes in, the pressure against the generators spins turbines.

00:28:53.000 You got geothermal, the natural gas from the vents spins a turbine.

00:28:56.000 You got wind, literally just wind spinning a turbine.

00:28:58.000 So we're just trying to make things spin.

00:28:59.000 That's how we do it.

00:29:00.000 Basically, that's the mechanical process right there.

00:29:03.000 Exactly.

00:29:04.000 So I'm not trying to put you on the spot.

00:29:05.000 It's just most people, most people don't know because they don't look into it.

00:29:08.000 And you ask someone like, how does solar energy work?

00:29:10.000 And they're going to assume photo photovoltaic, which is true.

00:29:13.000 That's a fair.

00:29:14.000 You ask about nuclear and they'll tell you about a nuclear process.

00:29:16.000 You say coal, say we, we burn the coal.

00:29:18.000 It's like, but what does that process do?

00:29:21.000 So I'll tell you where we're at.

00:29:23.000 People don't understand what life was like before all this energy.

00:29:26.000 This Extinction Rebellion group, Greta Thunberg.

00:29:29.000 You want to go back to 1850?

00:29:30.000 I mean, we still had fuels back then.

00:29:33.000 Go back to when our number one source of fuel was wood.

00:29:36.000 And then you're chopping down trees, you're chopping them up, you're burning them for heat and for smelting and stuff, and you will see a life you do not want to live.

00:29:45.000 Now, I'm not saying it's not a life worth living.

00:29:47.000 I think working in the fields with your bare hands and having a cow or a bull pull the, you know, the thing to till the fields, a till or whatever it's called.

00:29:54.000 Today, we have such an abundance of all this energy.

00:29:57.000 Gigantic robots do all the farming and we sit back in our lounge chairs, eating our ho-hos and our Papa John's, watching the football game.

00:30:05.000 That is coming to an end.

00:30:06.000 More calories in and calories out, but that changes.

00:30:10.000 And yeah, we built too much of a society around, you know, it's like when you scale up, eventually you have to, say, create new processes that can help you mass-reduce energy, mass-reduce everything, and, you know, again, keep going.

00:30:22.000 But what happens if that energy source gets cut off?

00:30:25.000 You're left with a bunch of useless machinery that you can't even run.

00:30:28.000 And here's the scary thing.

00:30:30.000 All right.

00:30:31.000 We built an infrastructure on this chemical process, notably like diesel and gasoline.

00:30:37.000 If we lose that for whatever reason, these machines, we don't, we don't, we have, what do we do?

00:30:43.000 Like if you have a worker in the field and he's got a shovel.

00:30:47.000 And then that worker moves or passes, you find a new worker.

00:30:52.000 The tool can still be instantly applied to another person.

00:30:55.000 But if we lose our principal source of energy, fossil fuels, we have an entire technological infrastructure that doesn't adapt to any kind of other energy.

00:31:03.000 Now, we can start to adapt it.

00:31:05.000 Like, let's say if we start using hydrogen cells and we power things, we do electric vehicles, electric farming equipment, which I'm sure they do a lot of.

00:31:12.000 Probably because I think, well I'll say this, Tesla is not profitable is my understanding.

00:31:17.000 The Tesla cars?

00:31:18.000 Only profitable because they were tax subsidies.

00:31:20.000 Now that those have expired, it's no longer profitable to make these vehicles unless they jack the price up.

00:31:26.000 So if tomorrow, you know we're looking at these gas shortages across the US and in the UK, if tomorrow all of a sudden there's no gas, people can't drive, buses can't run, Machinery can't work, everything we do is stopped, and then we go back, what, 70 years?

00:31:42.000 And have to restart our infrastructure on other energy systems or whatever?

00:31:45.000 You can't do it.

00:31:46.000 And then even a transition, you're going to have to double your production of whatever, you know, you're basically going ahead and replacing it with, because you have to have enough to keep production of, let's say the batteries that you're going to power electric vehicles.

00:31:58.000 You've got to literally have enough batteries to power what you're using to replace.

00:32:02.000 I know this sounds a super, you know, it sounds super circular, but to what you're using to actually replace the means of producing the batteries, you got to eventually transition those off.

00:32:11.000 So yeah.

00:32:12.000 And how do you get the lithium?

00:32:14.000 You lose it.

00:32:15.000 Yeah.

00:32:16.000 That's a big one.

00:32:16.000 So people don't get, man.

00:32:17.000 You lose energy.

00:32:18.000 They're like, we're gonna build a bunch of electric vehicles, and it's like, oh yeah, what machines do you use to get the lithium out of the ground?

00:32:23.000 And they're like, well, we use gas-powered and diesel-powered.

00:32:26.000 It'd be cool to start fusing hydrogen and helium and making lithium.

00:32:29.000 Maybe that'll happen.

00:32:30.000 Does that work?

00:32:31.000 Well, it's the next, it's Element 3, so I would imagine, yeah.

00:32:34.000 I don't know if they do it at scale.

00:32:35.000 Probably not, I would imagine.

00:32:36.000 Fusion creation.

00:32:37.000 I know they do, they can make diamonds by seeding carbon and then having a neon gas or something works.

00:32:45.000 Yeah, I think science can save us.

00:32:47.000 That's why I like the original idea of the Green New Deal. 0.84

00:32:51.000 I'm like, that sounds cool.

00:32:53.000 We allocate taxes towards building new energy infrastructure.

00:32:57.000 Could help make America energy independent.

00:32:59.000 Energy independence means a wealthy and strong America.

00:33:02.000 And then I'm like, I like the sound of this.

00:33:03.000 And then AOC comes out and says, the Green New Deal.

00:33:06.000 And I'm like, okay.

00:33:06.000 And then she goes, is free college for people who aren't white and healthcare.

00:33:10.000 And I'm like, wait, what?

00:33:12.000 That's Paul Dickson in a nutshell.

00:33:13.000 Yeah, right?

00:33:14.000 Good idea.

00:33:15.000 Poor execution.

00:33:16.000 Fizz.org.

00:33:17.000 Researchers simulate compact fusion power plant concept.

00:33:20.000 I mean, we are there, dude.

00:33:22.000 Fusion, fusion, fusion.

00:33:24.000 Where is the media talking about fusion?

00:33:26.000 Why do they want to sell this oil so much?

00:33:29.000 Return on energy investment is substantially higher than what we can predict out of fusion.

00:33:34.000 And it's portable.

00:33:35.000 Oil's portable.

00:33:37.000 You take a look at what's called Energy Returned and Energy Invested, and oil is the best.

00:33:42.000 Actually, I think nuclear is the best, but the left hates nuclear power, so we can't get it, unfortunately.

00:33:48.000 I know.

00:33:49.000 The problem is the word nuclear, because fission, historically, was pretty dirty.

00:33:53.000 But fusion's a completely different process.

00:33:55.000 They shouldn't call them both nuclear.

00:33:57.000 Yeah, but we're not there with fusion yet.

00:33:59.000 Will we ever be?

00:34:00.000 We've always been like five years away since like the 80s.

00:34:03.000 How do you take it from pre-production to actual production, you know, for the big time if you still have these challenges?

00:34:08.000 That's the question that you actually have to ask with Fusion.

00:34:10.000 Like what challenges?

00:34:12.000 So typically with Fusion, I think that to reliably... It's kind of like what Tim said, you know, when you actually deal with like energy costs, like it's an extremely expensive process.

00:34:22.000 I think I remember if I'm not...

00:34:26.000 If I'm not mistaken with fusion, where they actually use magnetics and they actually force the molecules together and again, or they actually force the subatomic particles together and it releases the energy.

00:34:36.000 But I think that it just takes so much energy to actually do that, that again, you're going to lose out.

00:34:40.000 They'll do like heavy water, which is called deuterium oxide.

00:34:44.000 It's, it's a hydrogen H2O, but the hydrogen has an extra neutron.

00:34:47.000 So it's heavier and they put it inside of a palladium lattice and then they, they, they, They do something.

00:34:53.000 I think they electrify the palladium, and it causes the... Whereas hydrogen is so light, it will fly away from itself when they aim it, but because the heavy water is heavier, they can ram it into itself and create helium.

00:35:04.000 That's one way they can do tabletop fusion. 0.97

00:35:07.000 And then what happens, I guess, is the system causes some kind of, like, vibration that they have to figure out how to capture.

00:35:13.000 So right now, what's happening is they've reached ignition, but that's like... You ever try and start a fire with a torch?

00:35:21.000 And you're holding the torch on the wood, and the wood starts on fire, and as soon as you take the torch off, the fire goes away.

00:35:26.000 You need to get the energy levels to enough where it's self-sustaining, and we're not there yet.

00:35:30.000 So fusion sounds fantastic, but nuclear energy is probably our path out of this.

00:35:33.000 The only problem is, you've got an activist left that won't let us do it.

00:35:38.000 Fission, yeah.

00:35:40.000 There's Three Mile Island and what else?

00:35:42.000 The Russian nuclear plant that went down.

00:35:45.000 Substantially more people have died from coal mining than from nuclear energy.

00:35:49.000 And I get it, Fukushima is really, really bad.

00:35:51.000 It had devastating consequences we probably won't even know about for a long time.

00:35:54.000 But that just means we need better safety standards.

00:35:56.000 It means we better better adaptation for nuclear technology.

00:35:58.000 People seem really afraid of of the unknown and when it comes to nuclear you can't see the radiation whereas coal you can kind of like see the smoke so you know what it is but with like COVID for instance you can't see it.

00:36:09.000 Yeah.

00:36:09.000 With with radiation you can't see it so there's this like fear about the things you can't see.

00:36:14.000 That's the tough part.

00:36:15.000 Is it in me or is it not?

00:36:16.000 I don't know. So that's even worse.

00:36:17.000 Well, I mean, we've, you know, we predicated the whole society on surviving based on calculating

00:36:22.000 the unknown to the best of our ability. And so again, when you kind of step outside of

00:36:27.000 that and you leave it to chance, you know, especially with something like energy and,

00:36:31.000 you know, nuclear energy to begin with, you know, if you fail to safely dispose of those

00:36:36.000 rods when you're doing fission, or you know, you don't cool it properly, again, catastrophic

00:36:41.000 circumstances, do you really want to leave that to human error to one, you know, miscalculation

00:36:46.000 or just, let's say a worker that's just very ambivalent about a job doesn't go through

00:36:52.000 protocol properly?

00:36:53.000 I heard a crazy story once where like some diver got sucked into a nuclear cooling system intake tube and he was swimming in the nuclear pool totally fine because radiation can't go through water.

00:37:05.000 Yeah.

00:37:06.000 So he was like at the top and they saved him and he was like.

00:37:08.000 I had this theory about recovering nuclear waste.

00:37:10.000 The corium is the core is called corium.

00:37:12.000 It melts when there's a meltdown.

00:37:13.000 It's it's producing so much heat, the heat's not getting out of the core.

00:37:16.000 So it keeps getting hotter and hotter, hotter, and then it just melts and it goes through the thing that's holding it down into the ground through the ground.

00:37:22.000 But what I was thinking is if we put some sort of superconductive metal in it, Then it would allow it to release its heat.

00:37:29.000 So like gold.

00:37:30.000 If you poured gold into a corium, then I would imagine that over time it would start to release its heat.

00:37:36.000 And then you'd have this hardened corium gold thing, and then you could maybe retrieve the gold that way.

00:37:40.000 Maybe there's some infrastructure utility company sitting there going, Ian has just solved the problem!

00:37:46.000 You've done your research on it.

00:37:48.000 Yeah, I was looking at the temperatures of gold.

00:37:50.000 Gold's a good one.

00:37:51.000 There are other platinum metals that might work as well.

00:37:55.000 But you've got to get in there, so you need drones. 0.90

00:37:57.000 And most of the drones, they power down when they get so close to that heat.

00:38:01.000 But then what do you do with all the constantly destabilizing isotopes and all of that?

00:38:05.000 They continue to fission off.

00:38:09.000 They've been recycling this stuff.

00:38:10.000 I think like 99% recycled.

00:38:11.000 Really?

00:38:13.000 Yeah, so like the technology that most people are complaining about when it comes to nuclear is from the 70s.

00:38:17.000 And we've greatly improved.

00:38:18.000 I mean, I think thorium salt reactors have been prominent for some time.

00:38:20.000 People have been discussing the possibility.

00:38:22.000 It's already melted, like you're mentioning, like melted salts or whatever.

00:38:25.000 So, I mean, it seems like we have a path towards better energy generation to avoid the problem of carbon emissions.

00:38:34.000 But this is the strangest thing.

00:38:35.000 You get these people like Greta Thunberg yelling, how dare you? 0.99

00:38:38.000 Demanding that we cut all fossil fuels.

00:38:40.000 And we're like, I think nuclear energy would work.

00:38:41.000 And they're like, no, you can't have that either.

00:38:43.000 It's like, do you want me to live in the woods?

00:38:45.000 I'll chop down trees.

00:38:46.000 That's exactly it.

00:38:47.000 That's what they want.

00:38:47.000 That's exactly it.

00:38:48.000 They want us to go carbon negative.

00:38:50.000 And I mean, the deal is, again, there's no way to stop this whole climate change bugaboo that you want to let you go carbon negative, which basically means that you have to start destroying a lot of manufacturing because you can go carbon neutral.

00:39:02.000 What do you think they're doing?

00:39:03.000 It's unfortunate because you can withdraw... You can't!

00:39:05.000 You can take the carbon out of the atmosphere and deposit carbon dioxide onto other metals like palladium and then create graphene oxide.

00:39:12.000 So you can actually pull the carbon dioxide out of the air.

00:39:15.000 We'll end up competing with trees because I think we're going to start... You mean pull the carbon out of the air?

00:39:19.000 Yeah, we'll start mining the carbon out of the air and then the trees are going to be like, hey, balance it out.

00:39:22.000 We can't build an entire infrastructure around taking the carbon dioxide away.

00:39:27.000 But that's better than destroying industry because we're going to have to learn how to make Synthesize oil in other ways, like super pressurized dirt.

00:39:33.000 We've done that.

00:39:33.000 We've grown algae and then made petroleum from algae.

00:39:36.000 Burn it off, recollect it.

00:39:38.000 I was listening to this podcast called like, what was it called?

00:39:40.000 Like Stuff You Should Know?

00:39:41.000 No, what is it?

00:39:42.000 Yeah, I think it's Stuff You Should Know.

00:39:43.000 Maybe not.

00:39:44.000 Maybe I don't want to.

00:39:44.000 That's a really big one.

00:39:45.000 Yeah, and they were like, it's like three guys or something.

00:39:49.000 And this is a couple years ago.

00:39:50.000 They were like, what are we going to do when there's no more, you know, fossil fuels are dead dinosaurs.

00:39:55.000 What do we do?

00:39:56.000 There's no more.

00:39:56.000 And the one guy goes, there's not going to be any more dinosaurs, dude.

00:40:00.000 And I'm like, wow, people listen to this stuff.

00:40:04.000 Fossil fuels are not dead dinosaurs.

00:40:06.000 Please, please.

00:40:07.000 Did you guys hear about these nuclear batteries?

00:40:10.000 They're taking spent nuclear waste and putting it inside of carbon glass, like carbon diamond glass, and it's producing like, basically like 10,000 years of electricity out of it.

00:40:18.000 It sends these particles out.

00:40:20.000 I'd have to see that.

00:40:21.000 Oh yeah, that's awesome.

00:40:22.000 See if I can pull this up.

00:40:23.000 This came out last year.

00:40:24.000 Batteries that never die?

00:40:25.000 Nuclear batteries.

00:40:26.000 It's all over.

00:40:26.000 If you look up nuclear batteries, you'll see tons of stuff on it.

00:40:30.000 10,000 years.

00:40:30.000 So not never.

00:40:31.000 In the grand scheme, they'll be like, they only last 10,000 years.

00:40:33.000 We live for 900,000, so it's not good enough.

00:40:39.000 New approach to carbon-free tech.

00:40:40.000 And it recovers nuclear waste.

00:40:42.000 That's one of the cool things about it.

00:40:43.000 Cool.

00:40:43.000 That sounds awesome.

00:40:44.000 Now the question I have to ask, though, is, again, is the carbon really as detrimental as they keep saying?

00:40:49.000 Because I think they said back in, what was it, 2012, that we were past the anthropogenic tipping point of carbon to where there's no way we can recover, everything's set in motion, and this, that, and third.

00:41:00.000 So I have to ask, I have to pause and just ask, and again, I'm not an energy expert by, you know, by any means, but Haven't we already hit the point to where, you know, if something was going to happen based on all the carbon buildup in the atmosphere, like, aren't we there?

00:41:16.000 And hasn't everything still been okay?

00:41:18.000 And, you know, Obama's still buying the beachfront property and all of that, you know, like there's a certain level of trust that's been eroded in what these people are saying to where should we really be devoting a lot of energy Towards you know all these emission standards when we cut

00:41:33.000 our Manufacturing we cut our industry and in China's basically

00:41:37.000 over there producing all the dirty dirty energy They want and you can see the clear financial impetus for

00:41:43.000 it. So like I got this website energy live news

00:41:48.000 Never heard of it But they say eternally charged smart watches to become real

00:41:53.000 with nuclear waste powered battery could last up to 28 thousand years

00:41:59.000 They say the battery for the smartwatch will last eternally for its entire lifetime.

00:42:02.000 We should have the smartwatch released within 18 months.

00:42:06.000 Then you can put those in your car.

00:42:06.000 Cool.

00:42:08.000 You'll be able to put those, maybe you'll be able to stitch them into your clothing.

00:42:10.000 Why couldn't you have a smartphone that just never died?

00:42:12.000 Exactly.

00:42:13.000 That to me, that's, that's crazy if that's true.

00:42:15.000 Yeah, then they wouldn't make all the money selling you the power block separately since they don't put them in the boxes anymore.

00:42:20.000 Are they going to be able to contain the radiation so you don't die?

00:42:23.000 Yeah, I think so.

00:42:25.000 These things are really cool.

00:42:26.000 These nuclear batteries are a big deal.

00:42:28.000 Dude, I gotta make this call, get these dang tweets off.

00:42:31.000 I can't be concerned about those minute details, guys.

00:42:35.000 It's way more important.

00:42:36.000 So couldn't you just hook up one of those batteries to the outside of your house?

00:42:39.000 Because I know they were talking about Tesla batteries and I don't know if there's a similar application.

00:42:43.000 Theoretically, yes, you could.

00:42:45.000 I don't know.

00:42:45.000 You have to have a really, really big version.

00:42:47.000 A smartwatch is tiny.

00:42:48.000 Right.

00:42:48.000 The nice thing is it encourages nuclear power because you're going to create more nuclear waste that you can convert into batteries after you're done with the power plants.

00:42:56.000 Is this kind of like what Tim said, you know, with the example of, again, the use of turbines, all of our energy production methods just scale off of one simple theme that once we unlock it, again, we can continue to just scale it up and innovate and turn it into something new.

00:43:12.000 But man, we're asking too many questions.

00:43:13.000 The EPA is going to start knocking on our door.

00:43:15.000 EPA, open up!

00:43:17.000 As far as I know, these aren't steam.

00:43:20.000 I think they release alpha particles that vibrate.

00:43:22.000 You can look them up on Wikipedia.

00:43:24.000 I know they give you a nice kind of visual overlay of what happens inside the battery, how it releases these particles outside through the carbon glass, catches the energy.

00:43:32.000 I'm not sure if it's using piezoelectricity or not.

00:43:36.000 Sounds like an opportunity that we're not going to get to because the left doesn't want nuclear power.

00:43:40.000 Come, expert.

00:43:40.000 Come.

00:43:41.000 Join us.

00:43:41.000 It's our own progression.

00:43:43.000 Yeah.

00:43:43.000 What is it?

00:43:44.000 Big business?

00:43:44.000 They're like, no, let's just stick with what we got.

00:43:46.000 Ride it out.

00:43:48.000 But like, we're cool on that.

00:43:49.000 You know, we could have infinite energy, but you know, I think we're okay.

00:43:53.000 I'll tell you, it feels like what the left does, they accuse the right of all the time.

00:43:59.000 They project.

00:44:00.000 So, the left has big business interests driving a lot of their agenda, and then they accuse the working class rural guy who's like, I want to vote for the guy who's going to end the opioid crisis, and they say, you're working for Big Pharma!

00:44:11.000 It's like, I literally don't want people buying this medication while you're promoting massive no liability contracts.

00:44:17.000 Bingo.

00:44:18.000 Bingo.

00:44:18.000 And I mean, again, you got to think about it.

00:44:20.000 If you were an evil, well, not even evil, if you just wanted profit at all costs and you wanted everybody thrown off your trail and you have control of all of the mass media apparatus, wouldn't you just project, wouldn't you just, you know, publish falsities and say your enemies are doing that?

00:44:35.000 Given how, you know, humans are devolving to the point where we're exhibiting a lot of tribal behavior, a lot of our primitive, you know, just urges we're kind of getting into and that whole tribal behavior of, This other guy's wrong, we're right, we're gonna fight you tooth and nail, you know, there's no discussion in the middle.

00:44:54.000 That's what they're taking advantage of.

00:44:56.000 Oh yeah, like I mentioned on the Russell Brand interview I did, he put up a segment about Civil War, and the comments were right-wing people saying Tim Pool's a leftist, and left-wing people saying Tim Pool's right-wing.

00:45:05.000 Success.

00:45:06.000 Isn't it amazing?

00:45:07.000 There's no middle.

00:45:08.000 You're either with us or against us.

00:45:10.000 Exactly.

00:45:10.000 And that's where we're going.

00:45:11.000 I will say though, You take a look at independent voters, I can have a conversation with... I'll throw it back to when I went to Sweden.

00:45:19.000 You know, when Paul Joseph Watson was like, I challenge a journalist to go to Sweden or whatever, and I was like, I'll do it.

00:45:24.000 And he was like, I was kind of just taking a piss.

00:45:25.000 And I was like, I'm gonna do it anyway.

00:45:26.000 And he was like, all right, I'll donate to your thing.

00:45:28.000 And then his whole attitude was very much like, crime is really, really bad.

00:45:32.000 And I said, well, it's not that bad.

00:45:33.000 Um, it is worse.

00:45:34.000 It's worse than it's been, but it's way worse than America. 0.93

00:45:38.000 The thing is, it's relative.

00:45:38.000 The people in Sweden, they saw one murder the prior year.

00:45:41.000 Now it's 13.

00:45:41.000 That, to them, that's, that's massive.

00:45:43.000 I mean, that's a 1300% increase, so they're freaking out.

00:45:45.000 But it's not like there's a war zone going on.

00:45:47.000 And the response from Paul on Enforce was like, oh, interesting.

00:45:50.000 Yeah, I hadn't considered that.

00:45:51.000 Thank you, Tim.

00:45:52.000 And I'm like...

00:45:53.000 What am I supposed to do when the guys at Infowars are the ones being like, oh, well, how about that? 1.00

00:45:57.000 And it's the people on the left being like, you're a liar and you're crazy and I won't talk to you. 1.00

00:46:02.000 So it makes it impossible. 1.00

00:46:02.000 I mean, look, I'll tell you this. 1.00

00:46:04.000 We've, we've invited a ton of lefties come on the show. 0.66

00:46:07.000 We say it all the time.

00:46:07.000 They won't do it.

00:46:09.000 They just don't do crossovers.

00:46:11.000 Maybe with some libertarians, but I guess, you know what I think it is?

00:46:14.000 I think it's, um, we fact check in real time.

00:46:17.000 We have NewsGuard certified sources, which has a bias, but we use that specifically to be like, hey, we're using a biased source on purpose.

00:46:23.000 Microsoft, for instance.

00:46:24.000 And if any one of these people comes and sits down, they're going to get roasted.

00:46:28.000 Yeah, talking points don't work again and unfortunately the left is, you know, their whole deal is closing ranks.

00:46:35.000 They hand down their ideas like doctrine whereas I think the right is still kind of open source to it to a degree because the right goes by principles more so than doctrine.

00:46:45.000 That's a good point.

00:46:47.000 Whatever the, there's two factions and it's the centralized and the decentralized.

00:46:51.000 That's that's really basically what it is.

00:46:52.000 I mean, that's how the populists took over.

00:46:54.000 And that's why, you know, the Democrats, you know, they're beating back the leftists with sticks.

00:46:59.000 Yes, they capitulate every now and again because it's just trendy and you've got these kids that don't know any better and they want to get them on board.

00:47:04.000 But at the same time, you know, the right won their revolt and took over the Republican Party largely.

00:47:12.000 Even if it's just for show, even if a lot of the politicians, you know, you just, you get a lot of these old, these old guard Republicans that are now adopting the whole populist message.

00:47:21.000 But even if it's just for show.

00:47:23.000 Shrek, primary him, get him out. 0.73

00:47:24.000 Yeah.

00:47:25.000 You want, you want me to vote Republican?

00:47:27.000 Okay.

00:47:28.000 Primary all these guys.

00:47:30.000 All of them.

00:47:31.000 Get them out.

00:47:32.000 And I'm pretty sure everyone on the, all the Trump supporters agree.

00:47:35.000 Yes.

00:47:35.000 Rhinos out.

00:47:36.000 I do think it's fair to, I think it's unfair to call them rhinos though.

00:47:39.000 Republican in name only.

00:47:41.000 Cause I'm like.

00:47:42.000 The truth be told, the Republican party in the majority are do-nothings.

00:47:46.000 It's like the one or two guys, like Rand Paul maybe, who's gonna do something different.

00:47:50.000 So he's the one who's only Republican in name.

00:47:52.000 He's more libertarian in principle.

00:47:54.000 At the beginning of the show, I was thinking, I feel like American politics is different now.

00:47:59.000 It's still the same suit, American politics, but whoever's wearing it is like, because we're in the age of social media and popularity contests now, I don't think that term that these endless terms work anymore it's too it's too easy to get super popular and then have like totalitarian control basically so we've really got to kind of

00:48:18.000 You know, reboot or reevaluate or transition.

00:48:21.000 There's probably better work.

00:48:22.000 I get what you're saying.

00:48:23.000 And I mean, it's happening to an extent.

00:48:25.000 The Democrats, they run their party in a very 90s to 2000s era kind of way.

00:48:31.000 That's why they focus on big media corporation and all that, whereas the right has already evolved.

00:48:36.000 So the left is still the left.

00:48:38.000 And when I say left, I don't mean the true left.

00:48:40.000 I mean this neoliberal establishment.

00:48:43.000 They are still operating in the Clintonian era where, you know, you go up, you get a celebrity to say some good things about you, and then, you know, you dance around for the camera and then you go back to your dark room.

00:48:54.000 But remember when Hillary Clinton was campaigning and she put on a southern drawl when she was in like Alabama or wherever she was?

00:49:00.000 Like, yo, we have the internet!

00:49:01.000 Back in the day, you could do that.

00:49:03.000 Back in the day, the politician could go to Chicago and be like, I'm just like you guys!

00:49:08.000 I got a garage door opener just like you!

00:49:10.000 And they could go to New York and be like, yo, you vote for me and both of these guys are getting out and I'm gonna wipe these guys out.

00:49:14.000 And it worked.

00:49:16.000 People would be like, hey, he sounds like me.

00:49:18.000 Now, when you do that, they're like, why are you talking different?

00:49:20.000 AOC actually did it.

00:49:22.000 Remember when she put on a Spanish accent? 0.99

00:49:27.000 And then people were like, yo, you don't sound like that.

00:49:30.000 And she was like, I wasn't putting on an accent.

00:49:32.000 That's just because I'm bilingual.

00:49:33.000 And it's like, dude, It worked when we were only newspapers.

00:49:38.000 It would be like Hillary Clinton came and said these words, but if you actually heard it, she tries to imitate the people there.

00:49:44.000 She did that in her campaign. 1.00

00:49:45.000 Doesn't work.

00:49:46.000 These are different times.

00:49:47.000 You can't do that stuff, but they still think it's 20 years ago.

00:49:50.000 Why?

00:49:50.000 Well, Nancy Pelosi's what?

00:49:51.000 She 80-something years old? 0.97

00:49:53.000 How old is she? 0.98

00:49:53.000 One, I think. 0.98

00:49:54.000 Dianne Feinstein's 90, isn't she?

00:49:56.000 Yeah, at some point, you know, these politicians, they reached their shelf life and You know, I think the GOP a lot of a lot of the old guard politicians GOP are really about to probably bow out just because they they see what they're writing on the wall and that it is good.

00:50:11.000 But the issue is the right has a very big talent scouting program.

00:50:15.000 Think about this.

00:50:16.000 Or I mean a talent scouting or an issue with their talent scouting program, where

00:50:21.000 a lot of the people that you see come up on the right, you know, they don't get a

00:50:25.000 lot of these people that are out on the forefront on Twitter, making means

00:50:29.000 spreading this information.

00:50:30.000 A lot of these non blue check, but big name influencers, they don't scout those

00:50:34.000 people.

00:50:35.000 They get the interns, the people that work for somebody that they know to come up the

00:50:39.000 yes, man.

00:50:41.000 And that's who they put in.

00:50:42.000 And these are anti-charismatic people.

00:50:44.000 They don't quite understand or relate.

00:50:46.000 And it's like getting somebody like Marjorie Taylor Greene, you can say what you want about her Q stuff and all of that, but she's different.

00:50:54.000 You know what I can't stand?

00:50:55.000 Republicans, they all wear suits.

00:50:57.000 No, I get it.

00:50:58.000 Democrats in Congress are wearing suits, but like conservatives, like mainstream conservatives show up to events wearing suits.

00:51:04.000 19 year old kids wearing suits.

00:51:05.000 I'm like, you are not relatable to a regular working class person.

00:51:08.000 Nobody wants that guy.

00:51:09.000 And it's like, you have all this talent right here.

00:51:12.000 But you keep on picking the same old, same old, and then you're wondering why you're getting stomped out by these people that are using Twitch streams, and they're sitting up here, they're reaching out to the kids, and they're inspiring youth to become leftists.

00:51:24.000 You know, I think a lot of people, conservative, that are really successful people, that happen to be conservative, go into business.

00:51:29.000 They don't go into politics.

00:51:31.000 That's a big thing, too.

00:51:32.000 And you know, that's honestly the cycle that politics should follow,

00:51:35.000 is that you should become very proficient in something else in life.

00:51:39.000 And then once you've done that, once you've accomplished all that you want,

00:51:42.000 then go into politics.

00:51:43.000 That sounds pretty similar to what Trump did.

00:51:45.000 Trump had already made his money.

00:51:47.000 He had already become a business magnate.

00:51:49.000 He had, you couldn't bribe him because he already had everything.

00:51:52.000 So what do you want?

00:51:53.000 He wanted the accolades of going into politics.

00:51:56.000 And now when you have that motivation, you're not out here trying to sell out the highest bidder.

00:52:00.000 You're not out here trying to wear a bunch of corporate brands.

00:52:03.000 You're just trying to get your legacy, you know, you're just trying to get your legacy through.

00:52:06.000 And that's why I didn't understand why they did not like this guy.

00:52:09.000 Like it's an insurance policy.

00:52:11.000 Trump gets in.

00:52:12.000 If he does bad, his brands suffer.

00:52:14.000 People remember Trump as, oh, you remember the guy that got in and he just ruined everything?

00:52:19.000 Kind of like what we said about Joe Biden.

00:52:20.000 Like Trump would not, he wouldn't allow that to happen.

00:52:23.000 So that's why I just didn't get that.

00:52:26.000 But that's the cycle that politics is supposed to follow. 0.98

00:52:28.000 But.

00:52:29.000 You miss Trump yet?

00:52:32.000 I sure could go for some mean twits right now. 0.96

00:52:35.000 I would take 20 mean tweets.

00:52:37.000 Yeah.

00:52:38.000 You know, he's looking good.

00:52:41.000 Yeah.

00:52:43.000 I remember 2019 man.

00:52:45.000 Best economy.

00:52:46.000 People were cheering.

00:52:47.000 Jim Cramer was like best numbers of our lives.

00:52:49.000 COVID happened.

00:52:49.000 I can't blame Trump for COVID.

00:52:51.000 I know.

00:52:51.000 You know, by Kent, you know, he was going along with it.

00:52:53.000 He should have fired Fauci.

00:52:54.000 There's a lot of things he could have done better, but, you know, it's a natural disaster of sorts.

00:52:57.000 Part of it is.

00:52:58.000 But under his administration, in the first few years, I mean, things were skyrocketing.

00:53:02.000 Yeah.

00:53:03.000 The economy was through the roof.

00:53:04.000 Booming.

00:53:04.000 Business was booming.

00:53:06.000 Now where are we?

00:53:06.000 I mean, Trump didn't start any wars.

00:53:08.000 He was trying to get our troops out of the Middle East.

00:53:10.000 He made some absolute foreign policy mistakes, often with drone strikes, military strikes, missile strikes, commando raids, etc.

00:53:16.000 But nothing ever came out of them.

00:53:18.000 But the last couple years, he was like, it's pretty good. 0.74

00:53:21.000 I'm like, all right, you know, Donald Trump's got a potty mouth, but this ain't bad. 0.90

00:53:26.000 And then when Joe Biden comes along, I'm like, I'll take the potty mouth. 0.94

00:53:29.000 Plus Trump's second term agenda was legit.

00:53:31.000 He had like school choice on there.

00:53:33.000 Now we're nine, eight months in, and it's like, Democrats voted for this.

00:53:38.000 We got the border crisis.

00:53:40.000 We've got the Afghanistan withdrawal problem.

00:53:42.000 We've got an economic crisis.

00:53:43.000 We've got the eviction crisis.

00:53:45.000 We've got job shortages, fuel shortages, food shortages.

00:53:48.000 Holy Joe Biden screwed all this up.

00:53:51.000 I won't blame him.

00:53:53.000 The economy was on its way down, even though they gave it that one last ride before they started printing the other.

00:53:59.000 We were already at $18 trillion in deficit.

00:54:01.000 But the rhetoric around, I mean, at that point, you know, the rhetoric around lockdown is definitely accelerated.

00:54:05.000 It made it worse.

00:54:06.000 And, you know, again, there was nobody to take the dissenters approach and just say, hey, guys, let's just let's stop this.

00:54:13.000 Follow me.

00:54:13.000 Trust me.

00:54:14.000 Let's not lock down because that's going to kill us where we're at.

00:54:17.000 And, you know, and there's a difference between the debt and the economy.

00:54:21.000 The debt's a problem.

00:54:22.000 It means, you know, we're going to see inflation.

00:54:24.000 The government is overspending.

00:54:25.000 It's overexerting itself.

00:54:27.000 But when you have debt, the train is still moving.

00:54:30.000 It's causing problems and it's bad, but when you just stop everything.

00:54:34.000 That was the Democrats.

00:54:35.000 Now again, Donald Trump should have fired Fauci.

00:54:37.000 Donald Trump was all about 15 days to slow the spread, but it was mostly Democrat governors who went hardcore.

00:54:42.000 Trump does deserve some of the blame for the COVID response.

00:54:44.000 Absolutely.

00:54:45.000 Could have fired Fauci, could have said no to a lot of this stuff, thought he was doing something good.

00:54:48.000 He was like, I'm gonna race a vaccine out as fast as possible, everyone.

00:54:51.000 Yay! 0.99

00:54:52.000 Well, that was part of the issue, though, that we took a vaccine-centered approach.

00:54:55.000 Again, Trump's original idea with the red and green zones, or however they did it, again, just testing, rapid testing.

00:55:02.000 That was a much better approach.

00:55:05.000 Rapidly test the individuals, you know, make sure Number one the fact that we're still using PCR is just you know it's an affront because PCR doesn't detect whether or not you're carrying a viral load that you can actually transmit.

00:55:15.000 A rapid test would be very much suited towards that because that basically gauges your load whether or not you can actually give somebody COVID or you can't and then you quarantine the people basically tell them hey go ahead and do this stay away from these people and you keep everything moving The fact is, we took a vaccine-centric approach where we wanted to lock everything down until we got vaccines.

00:55:37.000 Well, we got them.

00:55:38.000 Well, hold on.

00:55:40.000 We wanted to lock everything down for 15 days to slow the spread so hospitals didn't overload.

00:55:44.000 Within 15 days, it turned into just a couple more weeks.

00:55:47.000 Then it became just until we've stopped COVID.

00:55:51.000 Then it's like, we'll get the vaccines.

00:55:52.000 Don't worry.

00:55:53.000 Once we have the vaccines, then we're back to normal.

00:55:55.000 Then we get the vaccines and they're like, okay, well, you've still got to wear your mask if you get the vaccine.

00:55:59.000 Then they're at the point where they're like, look, we need everyone to do weekly tests.

00:56:02.000 And if you don't want to do a weekly test, get the vaccine.

00:56:04.000 Now we're at the point where they're like, even if you've gotten the vaccine, you need a weekly test.

00:56:07.000 That's at University of Arizona.

00:56:09.000 Are they still doing PCR tests?

00:56:11.000 Yes.

00:56:11.000 And so this is like your expertise.

00:56:13.000 You're saying these PCR tests are not accurate, not as accurate?

00:56:16.000 Well, it's not that they're not as accurate.

00:56:19.000 They get trace artifacts and they basically do a polymerase chain reaction where they actually recreate the COVID particle using the other strand to the base pairing on that RNA.

00:56:30.000 So they can tell if you've had COVID or if your body's reacting and you've got the antibodies, but they don't know if you're actually able to transmit or not.

00:56:38.000 They can't tell viral loads, so you could be asymptomatic with a very limited load, and they can't see that.

00:56:42.000 So they need different tests.

00:56:44.000 And I think it's really obvious they went to this direction of, even if you're vaccinated, you gotta get tested, because I said this a couple weeks ago.

00:56:51.000 How does it make sense that you're gonna be like, you can't come to the movies unless you're vaccinated or get weekly tested?

00:56:57.000 And I'm like, breakthrough cases exist, and people who have breakthrough cases can transmit to the same degree as someone who's not vaccinated.

00:57:05.000 Once you get COVID, your chance of transmission is like equal regardless of

00:57:10.000 vaccination status but those who are vaccinated are much less likely to get that's what they're

00:57:14.000 saying but if that's still the case they can transmit it then doesn't everyone need to test but

00:57:18.000 they were like no and i was like okay now here we are university of arizona is the first to be

00:57:22.000 like yeah everybody get your test So do you know, so now that this Delta variant is out, are they still vaccinating for the original variant, even though there's a new variant that's traveling?

00:57:32.000 So when people are getting sick with COVID, are they actually, as put in in quotes, are they getting sick with a variant that the vaccine is not prepared for?

00:57:40.000 There's all sorts of different variants of, you know, COVID.

00:57:43.000 And the difference is that you can have a variant of COVID that literally does absolutely nothing.

00:57:49.000 Like if you go ahead and you look at the sequencing data on GISAID you'll see so many different like on GISAID where they share the actual data from the PCR tests and from like people that they actually confirm positives.

00:58:01.000 They can tell you what prevalence that specific strain is.

00:58:04.000 They've got a bunch of them and it's a bunch of different areas of sharing that data.

00:58:08.000 So, you have variants that do absolutely nothing over the actual version.

00:58:14.000 That's natural because it's an RNA virus.

00:58:16.000 You're going to get single nucleotide polymorphisms where, again, one of the base pairings skips or one of the base pairings omits and it's not the right one.

00:58:27.000 And so, the question is, what does the Delta variant do?

00:58:32.000 Do we even know?

00:58:33.000 Because a lot of people say that it's more transmissible, but you got to think the Delta variant started coming around right as everybody started getting COVID apathy.

00:58:41.000 You know lockdowns were being released in a lot of places.

00:58:44.000 They're brushing in. 0.79

00:58:45.000 It's like how do you gauge transmissibility?

00:58:48.000 If you're not infecting somebody with COVID, telling them to walk the same distance around the same amount of people, not touch anybody, but get within this distance, you can't control to see how transmissible a specific strain is.

00:59:01.000 So do we know that it has any, and this is the hot button, demonstrated gain of function over normal, you know, over the normal SARS-CoV-2 strain?

00:59:11.000 Like that's the question that you have to actually ask.

00:59:14.000 Like when someone walks in, if something were to happen, we're like, this person got COVID from that person.

00:59:19.000 I've never, I've been following this for a while and I don't know, they don't say what strain they caught.

00:59:24.000 So I keep thinking it's the original, but it might not be, right?

00:59:29.000 Well, so here's what I think happened, and you know, consult your doctor, because I'm not an expert on this, but I was reading about it, and basically when we had the alpha strain, it was like the original strain, it was brutal, it was more deadly, less infectious, but what happens is natural selection occurs, right?

00:59:46.000 So the viruses that cause, and outside of COVID, just in general, and you can probably correct me if I'm wrong on this one, but viruses that cause more damage are less likely to spread because the person notices it and then takes action.

00:59:57.000 So viruses that are less deadly and less, you know, causing of symptoms are more likely to transmit, naturally selecting for a highly transmissible but less deadly variant.

01:00:07.000 So what happens is, here's what I think.

01:00:09.000 This is my opinion.

01:00:11.000 The Alpha variant, I think, was nightmarish.

01:00:13.000 Like the data we were getting, the videos we were seeing, it was horrifying.

01:00:17.000 We saw videos of people collapsing in the street in China.

01:00:19.000 People are now saying they're fake.

01:00:20.000 No, I don't think that's what's happening.

01:00:21.000 I think what happened was the initial strain was people were saying it was like a pressure on their chest.

01:00:27.000 And so you've got people in China who are like pressured to go out work and, you know, there's like a more honor culture.

01:00:32.000 So it's like, put a mask on and get out there.

01:00:35.000 And then someone would be struggling to breathe.

01:00:37.000 And what happens when you can't breathe?

01:00:38.000 You pass out.

01:00:39.000 Yeah, they have bad air there too anyway.

01:00:40.000 Right.

01:00:40.000 So you got bad air, you've got pressure on the chest, and this weird, like, pneumonia was going around.

01:00:45.000 So we see this data, and the initial data was like, we could see millions die from this in the U.S.

01:00:50.000 Like the New York Times had a slider bar.

01:00:51.000 The models were horrible.

01:00:53.000 But what happens is there's a natural selection that occurs. 0.98

01:00:56.000 The most severe strains are eliminating themselves by killing people.

01:01:00.000 The less severe variants were more likely to transmit because the people were less likely to be hospitalized.

01:01:06.000 So then we went alpha, we had beta, you know, now we've seen epsilon and mu, but delta seems to be the scarier one.

01:01:14.000 It's highly transmissible and still deadly, but less deadly.

01:01:17.000 This really makes sense.

01:01:18.000 So now we're getting to that point, perhaps, where, you know, people are saying we're gonna have to live with COVID.

01:01:24.000 But the worst strain of COVID will probably fizzle itself out.

01:01:28.000 So I'll throw back to the 1918 flu pandemic for another point of data.

01:01:31.000 There's one historical theory that the 1918 pandemic started in China as a lighter strain.

01:01:39.000 and a bunch of people got it and they got over it. But then it moved into the trenches,

01:01:44.000 came back to the United States where it festered and got worse. And because it had the ability to

01:01:49.000 rapidly infect close-quartered people who are injured or sick, that allowed for a very serious

01:01:54.000 variant to rapidly infect lots of people. By the time it made it back to China, the people of 0.64

01:02:00.000 China already had some natural immunity to a similar strain and were less impacted by it.

01:02:05.000 In this instance, it's similar but different.

01:02:08.000 The very serious strain was struggling because we did the slowdown, we did the lockdowns, we did these things.

01:02:13.000 I think it's fair to say we probably had a positive impact in that regard, but then variants can still persist and we made a lot of mistakes.

01:02:19.000 Notably, Being indoors seems to be bad.

01:02:22.000 Being outside with fresh air, with UV lights, with vitamin D, with exercise seems to be good.

01:02:26.000 So we made some mistakes in that capacity.

01:02:28.000 We need to update our strategy.

01:02:30.000 Now I think we're in a new pandemic.

01:02:32.000 A pandemic of political manipulation.

01:02:34.000 Where we do have a crisis.

01:02:36.000 Coronavirus is really bad.

01:02:37.000 We're still hearing stories about people getting it.

01:02:39.000 But now you've got political parties that are like, now's our chance.

01:02:42.000 Never let a good crisis go to waste.

01:02:44.000 Exactly.

01:02:45.000 And I mean they're doing that and you know part of the issue as well though you can actually argue with the lockdowns is that you allow and incentivize mutations when you lock down because when they finally get out or when they have to actually go out and they've been locked down for so long they're spreading a much more mutated iteration it's went through about five or six viral viral generations and now you're getting something that there's always a small chance that when a virus mutates that it can demonstrate a little bit more virulence and it can become a lot more deadly but That's interesting.

01:03:13.000 Locking down essentially created isolated incubation.

01:03:16.000 Is our virus more or less likely to mutate in isolation?

01:03:21.000 If we never locked down, what would happen is that COVID would burn through its host reservoir.

01:03:27.000 Eventually we would reach herd immunity a lot faster.

01:03:31.000 That's at least, you know, that's the traditional logic.

01:03:33.000 I think it still stands.

01:03:34.000 There's a lot of inconsistency on it.

01:03:36.000 And I'm not going to give you a definitive, but what happens is you let it burn through its host reservoir.

01:03:41.000 And again, people are going to, you know, people are going to succumb to the illness.

01:03:45.000 That's part of the nature of it.

01:03:47.000 But once it actually burns through.

01:03:51.000 Everybody's already immune you know they're immunized so you don't have a let's say a generation one COVID and then generation five you know a generation five COVID illness going and in generation five is so much different from generation one that eventually you get a chance to mutation that allows it to spread a little bit easier.

01:04:12.000 A question if you don't know the answer it's okay if if if you become immune to like alpha of COVID alpha it can it mutate in your system once you develop immunity to the alpha can it?

01:04:24.000 That's always a possibility.

01:04:25.000 That's actually something that, you know, we take.

01:04:27.000 Well, okay.

01:04:29.000 It's complicated because once you have the antibodies, once you have the immunoglobulin G antibodies within your blood, once it's there, again, it's going to eventually get wiped.

01:04:38.000 It's going to eventually get wiped out and then the rest of your antibody production will catch on.

01:04:41.000 Lymphocytes and the dendritic cells will begin to dispose of it.

01:04:45.000 So you will eventually get rid of the infection entirely.

01:04:49.000 But the issue is, again, how do you control for whatever you're spreading?

01:04:57.000 Because you have a thousand different variants of the virus here, and the one that's the most transmissible will then be able to be shed to somebody else.

01:05:06.000 And then that one will actually spread and it'll copy those transmiss- you know it'll actually carry those same transmissibility traits and it might actually improve on that further and further and further and then they might actually spread that one but you know it's all chance it's like you know you're rolling a dice every single time because first you have to actually spread the most transmissible variant of invariant of it And then you have to hope that that one doesn't self-terminate or snuff itself out every single time that it's hijacking a cell and getting itself to be reproduced.

01:05:36.000 If it snuffs itself out, or if you don't actually spread it and your body actually develops immunity to it, you know, that's game over.

01:05:43.000 So it's basically a chance thing.

01:05:46.000 That's why I say mutations are, they're drummed up to such a degree that You know, it's like Tim said, they're not letting a good crisis go to waste.

01:05:55.000 But really, this is something mundane that we're making sound so exotic.

01:06:00.000 I think I think initially, I actually do think the initial like everything we saw initially was accurate.

01:06:06.000 And we have to we have to make sure we're updating the science as the as the mutations happen and assess our economic circumstances.

01:06:12.000 It started with a novel virus that it was highly infectious and it was novel.

01:06:17.000 So it's likely going to hit everybody.

01:06:19.000 And it was just, as they reported, not a lab leak, but just very... Interestingly, it had these proper, you know, infection methods.

01:06:28.000 But in the beginning, they're like, look, nobody's had this, so that means everyone's gonna get it.

01:06:32.000 There's no natural immunity to this.

01:06:33.000 And that means we're gonna see a lot of death.

01:06:35.000 And so we wanted to do something about it.

01:06:36.000 I think that was legitimate.

01:06:38.000 But what happens is...

01:06:40.000 With mutations, with bad policy.

01:06:42.000 We're not perfect.

01:06:42.000 We make mistakes.

01:06:44.000 We should have done different things.

01:06:45.000 I can accept that.

01:06:46.000 Trump should have fired Fauci.

01:06:47.000 I definitely think that is.

01:06:48.000 Fauci has got no confidence in the American people.

01:06:51.000 But it's hard to say.

01:06:52.000 We're at a point now where I'm wondering if the hard lockdowns allowed for isolated incubation.

01:06:57.000 So put it this way.

01:06:59.000 If the population is rapidly intermingling, then there will be variants, but people will quickly catch certain strains and then develop immunity to those strains.

01:07:08.000 Granted, with a novel virus, we're talking about a lot of death, so it's scary to just be like, we're going to ignore this.

01:07:13.000 Well, then you get overloaded hospitals.

01:07:15.000 But if you tell everyone to lock down, then what happens is, let's say you have 10 buildings that are sealed, each infected with COVID, When they open the doors, you could have 10 variants because they went through multiple, like you said, five or six generations.

01:07:30.000 Now it comes out with 10 different strains all at once.

01:07:35.000 So, look, I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on this or an expert on policy.

01:07:38.000 Nobody is at this point.

01:07:39.000 Right, right.

01:07:39.000 It's hard to know for sure.

01:07:41.000 The one thing I can say is when you look at Australia, you look at what's happening with Democrats, I think they're like, it's an opportunity for us to push through agenda items to, you know, do a lot of things.

01:07:51.000 Now, interestingly, I guess, you know, Gretchen Whitmer, like, is opposing vax mandates and mask mandates. 1.00

01:07:55.000 Polling, her polling was bad or something like that.

01:07:57.000 Yeah, she must have sold them numbers.

01:07:58.000 All right, she's for the people.

01:08:00.000 Well, I'm glad that's the case, but I don't think it's going to save her career.

01:08:04.000 I think too many Democrats saw this as an opportunity.

01:08:06.000 They started by saying, come on down to Chinatown.

01:08:08.000 That's what Nancy Pelosi was saying.

01:08:09.000 Yeah, I remember that.

01:08:10.000 Nancy Pelosi not wearing a mask, getting her hair done.

01:08:12.000 Gavin Newsom not wearing a mask, going to these restaurants.

01:08:14.000 They don't care about this.

01:08:15.000 And I'll tell you this, celebrities aren't scared of this at all.

01:08:19.000 No.

01:08:19.000 Take into consideration that.

01:08:20.000 They go to the Emmys, they go to the Met Gala, they don't wear masks, they don't care.

01:08:23.000 They literally do not fear this at all.

01:08:25.000 So if you're sitting at home and you're worried and you're scared about this, ask yourself why it is that political elites and celebrities have zero fear.

01:08:31.000 They go on TV, they don't wear masks, they go to special events, they don't wear masks, they do not care about this.

01:08:37.000 There's just such an informational lag because I think conservatives are on the cutting edge of this.

01:08:41.000 Conservatives have already gotten to the point where we've accepted that this is going to be an endemic virus.

01:08:46.000 It's not as bad as it could be.

01:08:48.000 Practice good health.

01:08:49.000 Get outside, again, because you need the vitamin D, and also because heat stimulates interferons, which can help, again, help your body actually ward off the virus.

01:08:57.000 A lot of people do research into interferons.

01:08:59.000 Children also have a much higher number of interferons within their nose, and that's part of the reason why children are less susceptible in general.

01:09:07.000 Wow.

01:09:07.000 But um, you know, there's so many, there's so many facets to this that the average person does not know.

01:09:13.000 And there's information like because they're getting it from these traditional sources.

01:09:17.000 So what do you do?

01:09:18.000 Make more interferons, baby.

01:09:20.000 Hey, so you're saying it's an endemic, which means what does that mean?

01:09:24.000 Exactly.

01:09:24.000 That means that you're going to, it's basically a part of society, you're going to have a COVID every single year.

01:09:30.000 And ask yourself, how long have we had a flu vaccine?

01:09:33.000 Well, we've got a bunch of different ones.

01:09:35.000 Okay, have we gotten rid of the flu yet?

01:09:36.000 No.

01:09:37.000 Okay, so why are we trying to do the same thing with COVID?

01:09:39.000 Right, but I always call it the flu shot.

01:09:41.000 Is that because I thought it wasn't a vaccine?

01:09:43.000 It is a vaccine.

01:09:44.000 It's a more traditional one.

01:09:45.000 The mRNA vaccine is where you're exposing yourself to two specific spike proteins out of the 26 that are on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

01:09:53.000 But these have what's called a pre-fusion confirmation, which keeps the spike protein from damaging the cell, basically, as it's, you know, as it's manufactured.

01:10:05.000 And it actually locks it onto your cell, the plasma membrane of the cell, so it can't get loose and go and damage other cells.

01:10:11.000 Is the RNA one?

01:10:13.000 Yeah, that's the RNA.

01:10:15.000 It helps your body basically produce the spike protein so that you can create those IgGG or IgG.

01:10:21.000 Jesus Christ.

01:10:22.000 Antibodies.

01:10:24.000 That's the worst naming convention ever.

01:10:26.000 I'm so glad you're here.

01:10:27.000 It's complicated.

01:10:29.000 It's super.

01:10:30.000 It's super complicated, but it's also niche too, because again, a lot of virologists, they'll study this and they won't put two and two together.

01:10:37.000 And then, you know, you have some virologists that dedicate themselves to studying interferons.

01:10:42.000 You have some that dedicate themselves to say, studying different methods to deploy, you know, That's pretty much how we have the 8026 and the Janssen, and that's how we have the nanoparticle, the lipid-covered nanoparticle of basically the Pfizer one.

01:10:59.000 So, what's a traditional vaccine called?

01:11:01.000 Does it have a name?

01:11:03.000 I would say a live, well, no, it wouldn't be a live attenuated one.

01:11:07.000 Yeah, that's pretty much it where you're presenting an inert copy.

01:11:11.000 So the Novavax, I think.

01:11:13.000 That's a traditional vaccine.

01:11:15.000 Is that a live attenuated or?

01:11:17.000 Ooh, I might actually have to go look at that.

01:11:19.000 The specifics of which I'm super... Do you know anything about the Johnson & Johnson vaccine?

01:11:23.000 Yes.

01:11:23.000 It's a DNA virus.

01:11:24.000 It's a DNA vaccine.

01:11:26.000 Right?

01:11:27.000 I think it's still... I thought it was still RNA, but it was just deployed using a dental virus that was actually found in rhesus monkeys.

01:11:34.000 I could be wrong, but I thought that it was still... that we're still dealing with RNA.

01:11:38.000 Hey, kind of as a more general question, do you think that there's a lot of promise in the RNA vaccines in general?

01:11:45.000 I mean it's a it's a useful way to do what we've always done but you know the weakness of RNA vaccines is again it's blood-borne immunity which means if you have something that transmits or sheds via the nodes you're still able to transmit because that's a different antibody that you're trying to So it works on blood but not in mucus, not in the lymph.

01:12:04.000 Yeah, those would be the IgA antibodies that you find there, your saliva, and I believe in your stomach.

01:12:12.000 It says DNA.

01:12:13.000 It says that Johnson & Johnson uses an adenovirus to deliver the spike protein DNA.

01:12:18.000 But, and it's Nebraska Medicine, so I'm assuming that, I read this too, I think I was reading on the CDC that it's a DNA vaccine versus the mRNA vaccine.

01:12:26.000 Similar but different technologies.

01:12:28.000 Yeah, it's just the same process, just kind of in reverse.

01:12:31.000 DNA, you're basically cleaving it into an RNA.

01:12:34.000 You're basically splitting it into an RNA and then giving it out to your ribosome so that they can actually, you know, send it so that they can actually manufacture it where it's RNA.

01:12:42.000 Again, it's already ready to go.

01:12:44.000 Word.

01:12:45.000 It's like inserting a disc with a program into a computer.

01:12:50.000 Like a doomed CD-ROM.

01:12:52.000 Yeah, indeed.

01:12:52.000 Before we move on, I have to ask, a lot of times people will just dismiss out of hand the concept of a vaccine altogether because they'll tell me it's not a vaccine, it's gene therapy.

01:13:02.000 What do you say to that?

01:13:04.000 I mean, it's a semantic argument because, you know, everything is, you know, everything to some degree are genes.

01:13:11.000 Like, now what I think when people say gene therapy, they're thinking kind of like a retrovirus where it actually overwrites the DNA of your cells and causes them to basically, by default, produce this.

01:13:22.000 Like I said, this is like just inserting a CD into a computer and telling it run a specific program it's going to conduct though.

01:13:28.000 I was reading a Harvard article about gene therapy.

01:13:31.000 A lot of people were sending saying, see, it proves mRNA is gene therapy.

01:13:34.000 It actually doesn't.

01:13:36.000 The Harvard article says that there is mRNA gene therapy.

01:13:40.000 mRNA vaccines are not gene therapy.

01:13:43.000 So the idea is basically what they're saying.

01:13:46.000 If you've got a genetic disorder, They can use mRNA to literally do a gene therapy and change the DNA in your cells to stop that disorder.

01:13:55.000 But these vaccines don't do that.

01:13:57.000 Right.

01:13:57.000 They just give the RNA to make a spike protein and then eventually cease to exist.

01:14:01.000 They allow the ribosomes to basically go to work and, you know, again, mobilize the aminos to conduct the protein.

01:14:07.000 And it's only two out of the 26 that, you know, you'll find on the surface too.

01:14:12.000 So it's not even like it's covering the whole cell with it.

01:14:15.000 And I just think there's a lot of other arguments people make.

01:14:17.000 They use semantic arguments like gene therapy.

01:14:19.000 I'm like, what does that mean?

01:14:20.000 Like, I mean, does that affect the politics of freedom and medical choice and bodily autonomy?

01:14:25.000 You know, write the mandates, not the vaccines, because again, the vaccines are, you know, vaccines are pretty much wonderful.

01:14:34.000 Anywhere you've actually been.

01:14:35.000 Yes, these may have, you know, you might have a lot of allergic reactions.

01:14:39.000 There's a lot that we don't know how people's bodies are reacting to it.

01:14:42.000 But, you know, people react.

01:14:44.000 All medicine has risk.

01:14:46.000 People will react oddly to all kinds of medicine.

01:14:50.000 I'll put it this way.

01:14:52.000 If someone comes to me and says that they would like to get vaccinated, I'll be like, that's cool.

01:14:55.000 You talk to your doctor and they'll be like, yeah, that's fantastic.

01:14:57.000 I'm glad you did that.

01:14:58.000 Thank you.

01:14:58.000 That's awesome.

01:14:59.000 I don't think we should force people to do it though.

01:15:02.000 And there's arguments about, like, well, what about all the other vaccines?

01:15:05.000 And I'm like, truth be told, I still have issues with government-mandated medication.

01:15:10.000 I think people, you know, there's limited function, right?

01:15:12.000 If you want to go to a public institution, like a school, and they mandate it, that's different from saying all public accommodation, period, for participation in society.

01:15:19.000 Furthermore, the older vaccines have been around for a much, much longer time and went through a legislative process for approval.

01:15:24.000 It's very different from, like, we're in a crisis and we're going to just executive decree this stuff.

01:15:31.000 So I think it's like the Supreme Court said about the eviction moratorium.

01:15:34.000 It's an issue for Congress.

01:15:36.000 Laws have to be voted on and passed.

01:15:38.000 And the problem is when Democrats realize they can't get it through because of Republicans, they just say, you know, we'll squeeze it in with a budget bill.

01:15:43.000 We'll do the omnibus spending where we just get whatever we want.

01:15:46.000 Or Biden will rule by decree.

01:15:47.000 Yeah, and that goes back to what we said, though, that, again, the Democratic Party is sick, and when you have a sick party that can't get the other wing to agree or work with it, then what do you get?

01:15:57.000 You get these schemes, these plans, these ways that you are trying to control, manipulate, and snuff out the other party, and that eventually destroys the nation, because you need the ideas of the left.

01:16:07.000 which left does not it doesn't mean de facto communism let's go go to that you know left and right are just uh semantic terms that we use to describe traditionalism which would normally be right and then you know this whole moving forward changing things which is what we see left like if america was historically a communist country the commies would be the right Yeah. 0.53

01:16:30.000 And, you know, the left would be the capitalists.

01:16:32.000 And could you imagine that?

01:16:34.000 A group of Wall Street bets savant capitalists hurling Molotov cocktails into worker camps?

01:16:39.000 Yeah, but they also don't like... It's not about being establishment.

01:16:43.000 It's just certain political factions don't engage in that kind of behavior.

01:16:46.000 Yeah.

01:16:47.000 Whether they're revolutionary or not.

01:16:48.000 But let me show you the story.

01:16:49.000 We got the story from Fox News.

01:16:51.000 New York governor refusing to budge on vaccine mandate for nurses.

01:16:55.000 You're replaceable.

01:16:58.000 I don't think they realize.

01:16:59.000 We had a story that one hospital in New York was no longer going to deliver babies because they had no maternity ward nurses.

01:17:06.000 This is a bet the New York governor is going to lose.

01:17:09.000 They're not replaceable.

01:17:11.000 Not going to happen.

01:17:12.000 You know who is replaceable?

01:17:13.000 The governor!

01:17:14.000 Yeah, look at that.

01:17:14.000 That's true.

01:17:15.000 You know, I could replace the governor with a golden retriever and we'd probably be better off.

01:17:18.000 Definitely.

01:17:20.000 So, when they start firing people, I think the economy is gonna just... Look, they come out and they say, we're in a very serious pandemic, we need to mandate this stuff.

01:17:31.000 Okay, what happens when you eliminate nurses in the middle of a pandemic?

01:17:34.000 Pandemic gets worse!

01:17:36.000 That's where we're going.

01:17:39.000 They're literally paying travel nurses exorbitant amount of fees to come work for them when they could just pay the nurses a little bit more. 0.97

01:17:49.000 But no, instead they're going to go ahead and fire them.

01:17:51.000 Yeah, what did she say?

01:17:53.000 She'll bring in a foreign staff or something? 0.99

01:17:55.000 That's so expected.

01:17:56.000 We're sending out a call statewide.

01:17:57.000 There are facilities, for example, in New York that 98% of the staff are vaccinated.

01:18:01.000 They don't have a worker shortage.

01:18:02.000 We are working closely with these hospitals to find out where we can get other individuals to come in and supplement nursing homes and other facilities.

01:18:08.000 Her comments come after she had already said on Tuesday while visiting the Niagara Power Project, those who refuse, we will find replacements.

01:18:15.000 Those who refuse, you have my utmost respect.

01:18:18.000 Do not give the government an inch.

01:18:20.000 They will take 10 miles.

01:18:21.000 It's a power play.

01:18:23.000 That's all it is.

01:18:24.000 Because I mean, again, if you have nurses refusing the vaccine mandate and nurses are regarded as health professionals, then what do you think is going to happen to the rest of the people? 1.00

01:18:33.000 These certainly must be the stupidest nurses on the planet. 1.00

01:18:37.000 To be in these hospitals where they can actually see the vaccine workings and then reject them? 1.00

01:18:42.000 What strange individuals.

01:18:44.000 I'm being facetious, by the way.

01:18:46.000 The point is, I don't know what they're experiencing.

01:18:49.000 And there are a lot of people who, like, the left have been like, wow, someone actually tweeted this on the left. 0.97

01:18:53.000 They're like, these nurses must be really stupid to be working in the hospitals where they can see the vaccines work and refuse them. 1.00

01:18:57.000 And it's like, Maybe there's still breakthrough cases. 1.00

01:19:00.000 Maybe there's like, it doesn't matter.

01:19:01.000 If you're a nurse and you see people coming in for COVID, you're not going to see a grand global overview of the numbers.

01:19:06.000 Well, it all goes back to what do you define as a breakthrough case?

01:19:10.000 Because again, I think the vaccines were rated even at their peak for like 95, 90% efficacy.

01:19:16.000 So what do you call the other 5%? 0.93

01:19:18.000 What do you call the other 10%? 0.99

01:19:19.000 That's expected.

01:19:20.000 So that's not even a break.

01:19:22.000 Again, that's a semantic fear word like breakthrough case.

01:19:25.000 Oh, your vaccine.

01:19:26.000 It may or may not work.

01:19:27.000 No, we've already controlled for that.

01:19:29.000 But the fact is, you get the vaccine, you have a better chance of surviving, you can develop real immunity.

01:19:35.000 Now the issue with the whole nurses refusing mandate is if you get if you get the vaccine you get and you get the SARS-CoV-2 virus up in your nose you can still spread it but you don't know you have it because your symptoms are reduced so now they can potentially spread it to even more patients because they're almost confirmed to be asymptomatic Well, especially if they have a working immune system, they're not going to have symptoms.

01:19:58.000 So now you just, and now it's going to be mass testing for everybody.

01:20:03.000 That's controlling for a mistake that they made.

01:20:06.000 Because again, we just didn't have the data.

01:20:08.000 It's like I said, nobody's an expert on this.

01:20:10.000 You know what?

01:20:11.000 I say we do it right now.

01:20:12.000 I say, not a vaccine mandate, a swab mandate to enter all establishments.

01:20:19.000 So every business has to have someone employed at the door, and when you walk in, they stick the thing in your nose, they put it down, and you wait 15 minutes or whatever.

01:20:26.000 How long does that take?

01:20:26.000 It takes 15 minutes?

01:20:27.000 Or no, it takes longer than that, doesn't it?

01:20:28.000 I think about 30.

01:20:29.000 I'm not sure.

01:20:30.000 All right, you stand outside for 30 minutes, and then if you, all right, you can come in now.

01:20:33.000 I got the finger test where they prick your blood, and they check or whatever, that was negative,

01:20:38.000 but they put the finger on your finger and they smash it, and then it goes through your skin,

01:20:42.000 and then they do the blood.

01:20:42.000 That was instant.

01:20:43.000 It was like you literally look and go, you're good.

01:20:46.000 It was like, instant was more like a minute or so.

01:20:47.000 I have one where they put the thing on my forehead, and then they put a green light on my forehead or something.

01:20:51.000 You guys get that?

01:20:52.000 And they're like, yeah.

01:20:53.000 This is a temp scan.

01:20:54.000 Oh, it's a temp scan.

01:20:55.000 Yeah, yeah, trying to see if, it's a laser, trying to see if you were sick.

01:20:56.000 Just looking at manifestations of, if you're febrile.

01:21:00.000 Yeah, that's what it's doing for sure.

01:21:02.000 The story shows they don't care about you.

01:21:04.000 They don't care about your rights.

01:21:05.000 They don't care about your freedom.

01:21:06.000 They don't care about the Constitution.

01:21:08.000 They will replace you. 0.94

01:21:10.000 So we should replace them. 0.98

01:21:12.000 We don't need these fat cats, these big wigs. 1.00

01:21:13.000 It's our duty to replace them. 0.99

01:21:16.000 Term limits, man.

01:21:17.000 Term limits.

01:21:18.000 How do we make it happen fast?

01:21:19.000 We don't need to make it happen fast.

01:21:21.000 How do we make it...

01:21:21.000 It happened legitimately.

01:21:22.000 Midterms.

01:21:24.000 Yes, but there are two distinct cultures in this country that I don't think that solves the problem at all. 1.00

01:21:29.000 I don't know what does solve the problem.

01:21:31.000 Because you can have Tom Cotton come out and say, we should consider whether or not COVID leaked in a lab.

01:21:37.000 And New York Times says, crackpot conspiracy theorist Tom Cotton puts out crackpot conspiracy theory.

01:21:43.000 And then a year later, some guy, former New York Times, is like, actually, it may be.

01:21:47.000 And they go, oh, it may be.

01:21:48.000 Or Hunter Biden's laptop.

01:21:50.000 They come out and they're like, they found an old laptop.

01:21:52.000 There's no proof.

01:21:53.000 We're not going to look at it.

01:21:55.000 The NPR said, it's not even news.

01:21:56.000 We won't entertain it.

01:21:58.000 Twitter said, we're going to block the New York Post from sharing it.

01:22:00.000 And then a year later, they're like, oh, that laptop thing?

01:22:03.000 Yeah, that was true.

01:22:04.000 Yeah.

01:22:04.000 I had this thought that we used to write constitutions and laws.

01:22:08.000 Now we write code.

01:22:10.000 So if the code does it, there's no enforcement.

01:22:13.000 The code happens.

01:22:14.000 What do you mean?

01:22:16.000 If you're living in a digital society, the code's gonna dictate what you can and can't do just by basis of what the code is coded to do.

01:22:23.000 So it's like the law is built into society at that point.

01:22:25.000 The law is part of the function.

01:22:26.000 So maybe that's the future.

01:22:28.000 Like social media.

01:22:29.000 You could use a word on YouTube that makes your video not appear.

01:22:32.000 So there's like invisible enforcement that someone put in play that is shaping our culture without anyone's permission.

01:22:38.000 We've lost.

01:22:39.000 We've lost control.

01:22:40.000 The machine is taking over.

01:22:41.000 And here's the crazy thing.

01:22:41.000 It's not an AI.

01:22:43.000 It's just a random amalgam of different code and maybe some machine learning, but for the most part...

01:22:49.000 They ban words based on what words, a word could sound like another word and they'll ban you for it.

01:22:54.000 They ban sounds.

01:22:55.000 Isn't that nuts?

01:22:57.000 There's literally no oversight.

01:22:58.000 And I mean, that's the argument against having just code because again, code is going to happen.

01:23:03.000 There are going to be errors because code is dealing with people.

01:23:06.000 People can say something, a code can't sort out for sarcasm.

01:23:09.000 A code can't sort out whether or not you're quoting something unless you say begin quote.

01:23:15.000 You could build it into the system like a jury system with like a transparent free software code and then if there's a someone feels like they were wronged by the way the code acted they could appeal to a jury of your peers like a thousand random people could get an opportunity to view the process, and then that could self-alter the code.

01:23:38.000 If you get enough times that this thing has gone wrong, then the code rewrites itself, or the people overseeing the code can rewrite it.

01:23:46.000 Sounds good, but again, if it deals with people, and it's dealing with, you know, personal interpretations, and then, you know, those personal interpretations are being cultivated by that same code and algorithm, then, you know, you're just back at square one.

01:24:00.000 Interesting.

01:24:01.000 You know, there's a lot of problems in that, because people are going to argue, and then you're going to get people saying, here's the real problem, and it's going to break down as to who gets to implement the code.

01:24:10.000 I think maybe one of the simplest solutions would be if, you know, you just took one person and appointed them Supreme Chancellor with absolute power to do anything, and then just said, you know what?

01:24:24.000 You take care of us.

01:24:25.000 Yeah.

01:24:25.000 We don't have to fight anymore.

01:24:26.000 I like that.

01:24:27.000 We'll just have them be allowed to do anything and control all of the law enforcement and just accept that their decisions are law.

01:24:34.000 Genius, but you know we say that jokingly, but you know the fact I had a disclaimer because but no we say that jokingly But here's the problem the left is constantly burning books removing history Removing the stories and tales of when we did things like that and when they went horribly wrong so what happens when you get the next generation that does come up with that idea and they don't have the history to tell them and You might not want to do that.

01:25:01.000 It's a big part of why I don't like that they've censored the swastika.

01:25:04.000 Because you need to know.

01:25:05.000 It's a movie symbol.

01:25:06.000 You gotta know that he's through with a Nazi party, man.

01:25:08.000 You gotta know.

01:25:09.000 There's cartoons.

01:25:10.000 Family Guy, Justice League, that they show these symbols.

01:25:13.000 And now it's like, they're like, oh, we can't show that.

01:25:14.000 It's offensive.

01:25:15.000 I'm just assuming that they banned the swastika.

01:25:16.000 I don't know if the swastika's banned.

01:25:17.000 Can you show a swastika on YouTube?

01:25:20.000 It is algorithmically reduced in a lot of capacities.

01:25:24.000 And depending on the context, Twitter might remove it or flag it.

01:25:27.000 And there's a big difference.

01:25:28.000 We talked about this before the show.

01:25:29.000 Talking about something racy, like a word, is very different than using that word to describe someone or attack someone.

01:25:37.000 But it should matter for the future.

01:25:41.000 No, no.

01:25:42.000 It matters to human beings.

01:25:43.000 It doesn't matter to the machine.

01:25:44.000 The machine doesn't care why you, you know, or actually I think it no longer matters to the people either.

01:25:49.000 It's like that Netflix executive was explaining to people racial slurs and why they were banned and what they were.

01:25:56.000 And he got in trouble for saying it.

01:25:57.000 Imagine being part of like a diversity and inclusion thing where you're like, we're going to be explaining racial slurs, why they're offensive and why you can't say them.

01:26:05.000 And then someone gasps when you say it to tell them not to say it.

01:26:09.000 And he got fired.

01:26:10.000 So this Netflix guy gets called to HR, and they're like, what happened?

01:26:14.000 He goes, I was explaining to them racial slurs and what was not acceptable, and I said, and they went, oh, he said it again!

01:26:21.000 It's like, well, you asked him, what?

01:26:24.000 He got fired, lost his job.

01:26:25.000 John Schnatter?

01:26:26.000 Yeah, look at Papa John.

01:26:27.000 We had Papa John on the show.

01:26:28.000 He was explaining on a phone call how this word's offensive, and Colonel Sanders used it, and nobody even got mad at him, and they were like, oh, he said it.

01:26:36.000 He didn't call anybody any racial slurs.

01:26:38.000 Saying the sound is so different than calling someone a name.

01:26:42.000 I could be like, call you a name that's like an innocuous word.

01:26:46.000 And it's more offensive than if I'm discussing the etymology of a word.

01:26:50.000 There was a period where people were using Facebook, Skype, Twitter as like slurs, trying to get the word banned, I guess, or whatever the point was.

01:26:59.000 But there was a period where it was like the left was writing saying like, these are now slang for racist terms or whatever.

01:27:03.000 And it's like, oh, geez.

01:27:05.000 In the Kyle Rittenhouse case, apparently the judge said he didn't recognize the OK symbol as a symbol of white supremacy, and that he thought it was, um... Who did he say used it?

01:27:16.000 Oh, it was really funny.

01:27:17.000 Literally everyone.

01:27:19.000 I'm curious, I don't remember.

01:27:21.000 I've seen AOC throw up two of them.

01:27:22.000 I know!

01:27:23.000 So did Obama!

01:27:24.000 A-OK.

01:27:25.000 Dog whistles!

01:27:26.000 I know!

01:27:26.000 It's perfect.

01:27:27.000 It means perfect.

01:27:28.000 Well, actually, it could be more of a dog whistle, seeing how the progressive party's basically, you know, again... Who's it a dog whistle for?

01:27:35.000 And who is hearing the dog whistles?

01:27:38.000 I'm just saying.

01:27:39.000 It's like we never considered the possibility that these people could be entirely subversive.

01:27:43.000 They could be virulent bigots and this could have been like a 10-year plan to get in under the guise of being an ally and eventually turn the country back to the age of Jim Crow.

01:27:54.000 Chef Boyardee.

01:27:55.000 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:27:57.000 That's a good point.

01:27:57.000 I haven't had that in a minute.

01:27:58.000 I used to eat a lot of that stuff.

01:28:00.000 For good reason.

01:28:01.000 Cans of it.

01:28:02.000 So yeah, the judge said the okay sign is also used as a game and in old Chef Boyardee campaigns.

01:28:10.000 I certainly would keep the door open if you can show that there is any connection between the defendant on the day in question and this organization.

01:28:15.000 But as I said before, if this organization embraces the defendant after the fact, and he's lionized because of his behavior, that is not something that the jury can make anything out of that would be lawful.

01:28:24.000 Wow.

01:28:25.000 Yeah.

01:28:26.000 Now the question is, again, with algorithms, do you get that level of nuance into it?

01:28:32.000 Can algorithm be that nuance and make that judgment call?

01:28:35.000 At this stage?

01:28:36.000 I don't think so.

01:28:37.000 I would hazard that it couldn't.

01:28:39.000 It will never, unless you get algorithm that's so sufficient that it can replace humans entirely.

01:28:45.000 What would happen is, okay, you make the okay sign on your mind's video, and then the AI flags it.

01:28:52.000 And it's like, hey, offensive thing.

01:28:53.000 And then you're like, no, I wasn't doing it offensively.

01:28:55.000 I was doing it non-offensively.

01:28:57.000 So then you, you appeal it.

01:29:00.000 And then it goes out to like a thousand people that get to vote.

01:29:03.000 Is he, did he use it in context or is the AI right?

01:29:05.000 And then they vote and then the AI changes itself.

01:29:07.000 No, no, no, no.

01:29:08.000 That's ideal. 0.90

01:29:10.000 Once again, your idea is absurd and wrong.

01:29:12.000 I'll tell you what we should do.

01:29:13.000 And mine should roll this out.

01:29:15.000 As you're posting, there should be a little circle with a red light that's flashing a little bit.

01:29:21.000 And if you're about to post something offensive, it goes, I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Ian.

01:29:27.000 You're like, I want to freeze your bloodstream, Ian.

01:29:30.000 Hold still, Ian.

01:29:31.000 I want to post this meme!

01:29:32.000 I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Ian.

01:29:34.000 Cryo-freeze initiated, Ian.

01:29:35.000 Don't press that button.

01:29:36.000 Don't press that button.

01:29:37.000 And then robotic arms can come out of the ceiling.

01:29:39.000 Hold still, Ian.

01:29:40.000 Hold still.

01:29:41.000 It's for your own good.

01:29:42.000 It's going to amnesticize you and take away the will that you ever had to post that meme.

01:29:48.000 Andreas has been talking about neural net, and one of the things they might do with it is for violent prisoners, rather than put them in prison, put them on a neural net that dampens their willpower to become Digital lobotomy?

01:30:00.000 I don't know if that's ethical, but it's a use of the technology.

01:30:03.000 The Ethics Committee would never go for that again.

01:30:05.000 But like, is it ethical to put someone in prison for 20 years?

01:30:07.000 You know, it's kind of the argument.

01:30:09.000 Again, then it's like, kind of, what do you do with it?

01:30:11.000 We have an unrepentant.

01:30:13.000 You know, these are imperfect.

01:30:14.000 And we're dealing with people.

01:30:15.000 People are imperfect.

01:30:16.000 And these problems, unfortunately, will never have a perfect, neat answer.

01:30:20.000 All you can do is just mitigate harm.

01:30:23.000 And unfortunately, you know, it goes back to the pandemic.

01:30:26.000 Democrats haven't figured out that.

01:30:29.000 You can't do anything.

01:30:29.000 You just got to mitigate the harm.

01:30:31.000 There's no perfect meat, but everybody's a coward.

01:30:34.000 Well, there's power and regular people and the people in big cities are terrified.

01:30:38.000 They're like, they scream.

01:30:39.000 That's what Zuby just tweeted out.

01:30:40.000 It was like, I mean, she's been traveling the U.S.

01:30:42.000 and he was like, man, these blue states, whatever they're talking about, the big cities, this is so much fear.

01:30:47.000 And it's really dampening my vibe.

01:30:48.000 It's messing with my vibe, man.

01:30:50.000 I want to go back to Florida and Texas.

01:30:51.000 Yeah.

01:30:52.000 West Virginia, it's like, life is normal.

01:30:54.000 It's weird to see, uh, going to the casino, they ban masks because it's a casino.

01:30:59.000 And they're like, you can't wear masks.

01:31:01.000 But people still do it and they don't say anything.

01:31:03.000 But I'm like, it's kind of weird.

01:31:04.000 People are smoking in there.

01:31:06.000 West Virginia, man, we got freedom.

01:31:08.000 It really is great.

01:31:08.000 Freedom.

01:31:10.000 But yeah, freedom if you can keep it, I guess.

01:31:11.000 Freedom is scary, though, to an infantilized people.

01:31:14.000 And that's the problem is that, again, people in our stage, this is why I'm black people.

01:31:19.000 I know.

01:31:20.000 I'm not supposed to do that.

01:31:21.000 I'm not supposed to do that.

01:31:22.000 But I'm black peeled when it comes to, you know, libertarianism in general, because libertarianism would have worked when people were more rugged, more robust, more open to risk.

01:31:33.000 But now everybody's so infantilized.

01:31:35.000 It's like the muscle doge meme and the little jeans.

01:31:39.000 And it's like, It's kind of like, you know, back in the day, people were all just, they would take risks.

01:31:44.000 They would do what they needed to do.

01:31:46.000 Nowadays, it's like, someone called me a mean word online.

01:31:48.000 Now, if there's something you don't know, you just look it up.

01:31:50.000 That didn't exist before.

01:31:52.000 That's something we have, but I mean...

01:31:55.000 The search for the knowledge, like just doing something more than Google search, like going to your library and grabbing a book, that allowed you to uncover more.

01:32:02.000 But we don't have that now.

01:32:03.000 Now you can just look something up and people are so spoiled.

01:32:06.000 You have to ask people.

01:32:07.000 It was so much conversation was, hey, what is it?

01:32:11.000 Can you answer this?

01:32:12.000 There was a funny comic where it's like, it says then, and it's like two guys sitting down, and one guy goes, Hey, what year was Abraham Lincoln assassinated?

01:32:19.000 And the other one goes, I don't know, you wanna go to the library?

01:32:21.000 Not really.

01:32:22.000 Okay.

01:32:23.000 And the panel below it's like, now, hey, what year was Abraham Lincoln assassinated?

01:32:26.000 And then he holds up his phone and, what was it? 1864?

01:32:30.000 I don't know the exact year, but he ultimately decided.

01:32:32.000 Let's go to Super Chats, everybody!

01:32:34.000 If you haven't already, you must smash that like button.

01:32:36.000 It is your sworn duty!

01:32:38.000 And subscribe to the channel.

01:32:40.000 Go to TimCast.com, become a member, share the show with your friends.

01:32:43.000 Let's read some of these fancy messages.

01:32:45.000 Ooh, this one's good.

01:32:46.000 You know who says Malcolm Flex has the deep, gravely baritone voice that could serenade me into walking off a cliff if we were to use his powers for evil?

01:32:54.000 Pay me $5 and I will say whatever you want.

01:32:57.000 I will make a cameo page.

01:32:58.000 We can get this going right now.

01:33:00.000 Yes.

01:33:01.000 Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, April 14th.

01:33:03.000 So close!

01:33:04.000 I am many things but I am not a historian nor am I good with specifics.

01:33:07.000 So...

01:33:08.000 Lua Coder says, Tim, why are we giving billions of dollars to foreign countries

01:33:11.000 when our economy is falling apart? These politicians do not care for Americans

01:33:15.000 and only value their overseas pet projects.

01:33:16.000 I completely agree.

01:33:19.000 That's why I think it's a challenge when it comes to Israel because it's like, ugh, do we let it just be peppered with rockets and then see all this mass death?

01:33:27.000 Should we be securing the face mask of those in an exodus before securing our own? 0.97

01:33:31.000 There's a good argument for not providing funding, not because it's Israel.

01:33:34.000 Here's the issue.

01:33:35.000 If you came to me and said, I think we should reduce all of our foreign spending until we can resuscitate America, and maybe even drop it down to near zero, or zero, I'd be like, hmm, we should have a discussion. 0.95

01:33:44.000 When AOC is like, I don't like Israel, I'm like, shut up! 1.00

01:33:47.000 Get out of here, stupid argument, you don't care about the economy. 1.00

01:33:51.000 She's just in this weirdo world of Israel bad. 1.00

01:33:53.000 Rashida Tlaib is like, it's a humanitarian crisis and they're war crimes. 0.99

01:33:57.000 And I'm like, you see, if you really cared about foreign spending, you'd be talking about all the other countries we're dumping money into as well.

01:34:03.000 Not just Israel. 0.99

01:34:04.000 They're just obsessed because they are lunatics. 0.99

01:34:06.000 They are obsessed with this stuff. 0.99

01:34:07.000 You know what really, really frustrates me more than anything?

01:34:10.000 Are the anti-Israel zealots and the pro-Israel zealots.

01:34:14.000 I'm like, dude, you can be pro, you can be anti, and we can have a conversation.

01:34:18.000 But I can't stand people like AOC who are like, screaming and they're like, you're dedicating your time and

01:34:24.000 energy to one country.

01:34:26.000 Calm down. Give me some principled opposition like this was right here.

01:34:30.000 We shouldn't give billions of dollars to foreign countries when our economy is failing.

01:34:33.000 That's a really good point, Lua Kota. You're correct. I agree with you.

01:34:35.000 AOC, I don't. I think she just hates Israel.

01:34:37.000 Yeah. A lot of these people weren't even alive when the conflict went on.

01:34:41.000 So they're just picking a side based on some skewed iteration of history that we've already said, let's not do.

01:34:47.000 White rat says nothing says strong political figure when they when they cry if they don't get their way.

01:34:54.000 It's true. 0.90

01:34:57.000 Amazing.

01:34:59.000 All right.

01:35:00.000 Let's see.

01:35:01.000 She thinks it'll work. 1.00

01:35:03.000 Irish Fish says, the left cult is not stupid. 1.00

01:35:07.000 They are crazy. 1.00

01:35:08.000 Also check out Neon Genesis Evangelion and Akira.

01:35:11.000 Yes.

01:35:12.000 Interesting.

01:35:13.000 Yeah.

01:35:15.000 I never said that, though, did I?

01:35:21.000 No.

01:35:23.000 I voted for Obama in 2008, so technically, by default, Biden was involved in that, but I didn't vote for Biden.

01:35:29.000 I didn't vote this last election.

01:35:30.000 I couldn't bring myself to do it.

01:35:32.000 Interesting.

01:35:33.000 I mean, also, I'd just moved, so it was a big challenge.

01:35:35.000 You want to know something that's really bad.

01:35:37.000 I don't want to cut that off, but you know, if Biden gets 25th or he dies or, you know, worse, you know, if something happens to Joe Biden, we won't get a President Trump because President Trump is going to be that same age.

01:35:51.000 I think the independents are going to look at it and say, do we really want to go down there?

01:35:57.000 So that's something.

01:35:58.000 I need young scientists.

01:35:59.000 Yeah.

01:35:59.000 I want like an ethical genius in office right now.

01:36:03.000 Well, tell your GOP to find them.

01:36:05.000 Mm-hmm.

01:36:06.000 So I'm probably pronouncing this name wrong every time I do, because I don't know what it is. 0.53

01:36:10.000 Leg-ima-the-gay-in? 0.96

01:36:13.000 But he says— Sounds Latin.

01:36:15.000 Ian!

01:36:16.000 You're my bro.

01:36:17.000 But Israel isn't a theocracy.

01:36:19.000 Most Israelis are secular Jews.

01:36:21.000 You can be any religion or none.

01:36:23.000 The land was split into two states by the UN in 1948.

01:36:26.000 Israel was instantly invaded and defeated the invasion.

01:36:29.000 The history is highly complex.

01:36:30.000 It is very.

01:36:31.000 Is Israel not a Jewish state? 0.90

01:36:33.000 Lurch says, the last super chat is complete BS.

01:36:36.000 Israel was not invaded.

01:36:37.000 They waged a campaign of ethnic cleansing in 1947, and a handful of Arab soldiers came to try and stop it.

01:36:43.000 See, this is what happened.

01:36:45.000 Are they talking about the Six Day War?

01:36:47.000 Is that what it was?

01:36:48.000 There's so many different canons.

01:36:49.000 They did like a blitzkrieg against Egypt, because Egypt and Israel had had all this conflict, and there was like this blitzkrieg and then this takeover of land.

01:36:57.000 I think it was in 67, though.

01:36:58.000 That was longer, further away.

01:37:00.000 Alright, Fidel LeBlanc says, Had no idea until the other night that you're a weeb. 1.00

01:37:04.000 Love Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.

01:37:05.000 What's your favorite anime manga?

01:37:07.000 PS.

01:37:08.000 Love the show.

01:37:08.000 Watch every night.

01:37:10.000 I think I'm gonna go for the obvious and say Naruto.

01:37:13.000 Because when Naruto was in its manga run, Shonen Jump, every week I would pulp the scanlation.

01:37:18.000 10 years. It's crazy when I think back, I'm like, there was a period where I was like,

01:37:21.000 oh, it's Wednesday now, I would pull up and I would read the latest chapter.

01:37:25.000 And then I'm like, and then it ended. I will say the last few chapters I thought were terrible.

01:37:28.000 Yeah. Are you familiar with the Naruto? Oh yeah, I'm very.

01:37:31.000 Yeah, I thought the Kaguya stuff went over the top and it was too nuts and wacky. And I'm like, 1.00

01:37:35.000 the problem is Kishimoto, he couldn't bring himself to kill off Madara.

01:37:39.000 Like, at some point, Madara was, he was hyped up, he was foreshadowed, and he was just the perfect villain.

01:37:45.000 And, you know, again, especially when, you know, the Five Kage Summon, he literally soloed the whole, the strongest ninja in the verse.

01:37:52.000 And how do you, how do you do that?

01:37:54.000 When he got the Sage powers, I was like, this is great.

01:37:57.000 But then when the Kaguya stuff started and he was like a pawn, I'm like, this is great because the aliens are here! 1.00

01:38:03.000 The Black Zetsu. 1.00

01:38:03.000 And then, you know, they expounded upon it with the Wars, though, but it's just like, it's tanking. 1.00

01:38:08.000 And, you know, it was just, he did too good.

01:38:12.000 Overwhelmingly, the series was really, really, really, really, really great.

01:38:15.000 Full Metal Alchemist, Brotherhood.

01:38:17.000 I mean, both series were really, really good.

01:38:19.000 And I got to give a shout out to FLCL back in the day.

01:38:22.000 Oh, I remember watching it on Adult Swim.

01:38:24.000 It's right.

01:38:25.000 What was it, six episodes?

01:38:26.000 It was, uh... Wacky show, limited run, total absurdism.

01:38:30.000 They tried making sequels to it, they just don't work.

01:38:32.000 But that is a classic, classic series.

01:38:35.000 And then I gotta say, these are really obvious, but Death Note...

01:38:39.000 I will give a shout out to that time I got reincarnated as a slime.

01:38:42.000 I think it's pretty good.

01:38:43.000 I stopped watching it a while ago.

01:38:45.000 And there's another show I can't remember the name of.

01:38:47.000 Maybe you guys in the chat can remind me of it.

01:38:48.000 It's about a dude.

01:38:49.000 They're in like a training class for like nights or something.

01:38:53.000 And then he's in a dungeon but he falls.

01:38:55.000 And then he's gonna die so he eats a monster but then becomes like a hybrid monster. 0.98

01:38:59.000 You saw that one?

01:38:59.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:39:00.000 And then he's like going through the dungeon, leveling up, getting ultra strong and his arm gets chopped off or whatever.

01:39:05.000 And then when he finally escapes, he's super powerful and like a demon of some sort.

01:39:09.000 I don't know.

01:39:09.000 I can't remember the name of that show.

01:39:10.000 I watched that one.

01:39:11.000 That was really cool.

01:39:12.000 It sounds like a setup for- it almost sounds eerily similar to the setup for Jujutsu Kaisen.

01:39:12.000 Yeah, it's odd.

01:39:18.000 Like, from the eating of the finger and, you know, almost becoming a monster.

01:39:23.000 Again, just kind of drawing parallels.

01:39:24.000 My Hero Academia is pretty good.

01:39:26.000 It is, it's- But these are all like the really obvious cliche ones, to be honest.

01:39:29.000 Did you guys ever get into sword art online?

01:39:31.000 Sword Art Online it doesn't get good until the Gun Gale part even after that because I mean Kirito's he's a Gary Stu you know it's like he's perfect in every in every way in the series and even in the real world it's just like he's a kendo practitioner so he's got reaction skills and it's like You know, at some point, it lost luster.

01:39:52.000 I thought Cowboy Bebop, man.

01:39:54.000 Greatness.

01:39:55.000 It's such a bummer that it only got 26 episodes.

01:39:58.000 I guess it was too violent at the time and they didn't want to renew it.

01:40:00.000 But that show, the lore, they're saying they're going to expand the canon with Netflix, with the Netflix live action.

01:40:08.000 Yeah, I don't trust it either, especially because Edward's not in the trailer.

01:40:11.000 So I'm like, yo.

01:40:13.000 I don't trust it.

01:40:14.000 Is that the John Show?

01:40:16.000 The John Show movie?

01:40:17.000 Yeah.

01:40:17.000 It's not a movie, it's a series.

01:40:18.000 Yeah.

01:40:18.000 Oh, a TV show.

01:40:19.000 All right.

01:40:20.000 Surge says, Democrats are trying to pass legislation to prevent people who self-direct IRA accounts from investing in anything but the stock market.

01:40:26.000 No more crypto or real estate investments.

01:40:28.000 This is scary.

01:40:29.000 Wow.

01:40:30.000 Geez.

01:40:31.000 Christopher Riley says, please read this.

01:40:33.000 Have Modern Renaissance Man on your show.

01:40:35.000 He would be really fun to watch on your show.

01:40:37.000 Well, OK.

01:40:39.000 We'll take a look.

01:40:40.000 We'll look him up.

01:40:41.000 All right.

01:40:42.000 Let's see what we got.

01:40:43.000 Drew Richman says we need a Tim Pool the Science Fool shirt.

01:40:47.000 Bill Nye was the inspiration here.

01:40:48.000 Of course, a better rhyme would be needed.

01:40:50.000 Fool is not complimentary. 0.80

01:40:52.000 The science... 0.98

01:40:54.000 Can people make science cool?

01:40:55.000 There you go.

01:40:56.000 That works, yeah.

01:40:57.000 Well, I don't!

01:40:59.000 You do now, Tim.

01:41:00.000 Shadi Viceroy says, I work in the solar industry and the process for PV arrays is very interesting, photovoltaic.

01:41:06.000 Especially the DC to DC link battery systems are super cool.

01:41:09.000 Also, the inverters switch IGBTS for DC to AC after being broken up through a sine filter.

01:41:17.000 I have no idea what that means.

01:41:18.000 Sounds cool.

01:41:20.000 A lot of people do.

01:41:20.000 Science.

01:41:21.000 I learned that from watching Rogan's podcast.

01:41:23.000 He'd have these geniuses on and they'd be talking to him.

01:41:25.000 He'd just sit there and listen and not understand anything they said.

01:41:27.000 But he's like, but it's getting recorded.

01:41:29.000 I can either watch it later or there's a bunch of people that know what he's talking about.

01:41:32.000 This is a good Great Gateway podcast.

01:41:34.000 Yes.

01:41:35.000 Yeah.

01:41:35.000 Definitely.

01:41:36.000 Peter Provenzano says, Tim, the U.S.

01:41:38.000 is buying the Iron Dome to defend the air bases in Guam, Japan, South Korea.

01:41:41.000 We basically paid for the R&D for the defensive weapon.

01:41:44.000 In South Korea, it's called THAAD.

01:41:46.000 THAAD?

01:41:47.000 Yeah, I forgot what it stands for.

01:41:48.000 Aerial Defense, maybe?

01:41:50.000 Something like that.

01:41:51.000 And there are protests against it.

01:41:52.000 They're worried that it'll increase the tensions between the North and the South.

01:41:56.000 Yeah.

01:41:56.000 When I was there, there were, like, signs saying, like, no THAAD in South Korea.

01:41:59.000 Yeah.

01:42:00.000 Interesting.

01:42:02.000 All right, let's see what we got here.

01:42:08.000 Justin Bell says, as fall comes in, I will be able to see Three Mile Island from my front porch.

01:42:14.000 That sounds cool.

01:42:18.000 Derek Jones says, Ian, I have an MS and wrote a thesis on horizontal gene transfer.

01:42:25.000 HGT is the non-sexual transfer of genetic material, e.g.

01:42:29.000 DNA, RNA, between organisms.

01:42:31.000 You've been conflating it with other phenomena.

01:42:34.000 I'll tweet DM you good sources.

01:42:35.000 I'm a fan of what y'all do.

01:42:36.000 Thanks.

01:42:37.000 Very cool.

01:42:37.000 Amazing.

01:42:39.000 Oh yeah, have you studied the gene translations much?

01:42:41.000 Lateral and horizontal gene translations?

01:42:43.000 I haven't delved into that one.

01:42:43.000 Not near as much.

01:42:45.000 When you start getting into the pairing and translating, transcripting and all that, that's where you literally... Complicated.

01:42:54.000 BN says even nuclear isn't as uncommon as you're making it sound.

01:42:58.000 In the US, we have 56 nuclear power plants operating across 28 states.

01:43:02.000 And maybe we should have...

01:43:05.000 112 operating off of 56 states.

01:43:09.000 Maybe we can have 3 million good ones in our pockets encased in carbon glass.

01:43:14.000 Little tiny ones.

01:43:15.000 Well, I was reading we had solid, you saw the solid state battery thing like several months ago or last year or whatever.

01:43:19.000 I don't know.

01:43:20.000 They had a breakthrough in solid state batteries, which are extremely energy dense.

01:43:25.000 So it's like your phone could last 10 days off one charge or something like that.

01:43:28.000 But isn't crazy.

01:43:29.000 I was about to say isn't the downside of anything solid state is that it dies almost like instantaneously and at random like you know when the solid state sales go out like they're done.

01:43:40.000 I don't know.

01:43:41.000 I don't know anything about it.

01:43:43.000 That was kind of like a push against going from just hard disk drives to solid state because again solid state drives you know there's a finite amount of charges that can pass through and they just eventually become non-functional where it's hard disk you can manually extract the data from it.

01:43:59.000 Captain says, Tim, you keep praising Thomas Massie because he has spicy tweets, but he won't help pass anything in Congress.

01:44:05.000 He voted against the Trump wall three times with every Dem.

01:44:08.000 He voted against Trump at every turn, including USMCA.

01:44:11.000 He also voted against Lauren Boebert's pro-2A leg.

01:44:15.000 Good criticism.

01:44:17.000 I will accept that, and I will look more into it.

01:44:18.000 But that's a good point.

01:44:19.000 Mostly, it's like I see Thomas Massie standing up and saying a lot of things.

01:44:23.000 Okay.

01:44:24.000 We'll take a deeper look, that's a fair point.

01:44:26.000 Should have been doing that in the first place.

01:44:27.000 You know what we need?

01:44:28.000 We need more pets in Congress. 0.99

01:44:30.000 I want to see them bringing in their dogs and their cats.

01:44:33.000 Humanize that, yeah.

01:44:34.000 It's all positive until the progressive sick a Doberman on somebody across the aisle.

01:44:39.000 That would be exciting, if nothing else.

01:44:42.000 Oh yeah, certainly.

01:44:43.000 I was thinking of Tom smashing this farm, that's what made me think of it.

01:44:45.000 Oh yeah, yeah, you can bring some goats in. 0.59

01:44:46.000 It'd be awesome.

01:44:49.000 Dave VD says, just here to shout out my amazing girlfriend Hannah Wallace and her album she released on Spotify called Learn to Love Me.

01:44:58.000 It'll leave you speechless!

01:44:59.000 What?

01:45:00.000 Amazing.

01:45:01.000 Nice job, Hannah.

01:45:02.000 That's right.

01:45:05.000 Alex R says the difference between Soviet and American reactors is how to slow down neutrons.

01:45:09.000 Soviets use graphite, we use water. 0.96

01:45:12.000 Slowing neutrons increases the chance for fission.

01:45:14.000 Chernobyl occurred because graphite won't boil like water and it sprayed graphite radioactive all in the air and yeah, it was really bad.

01:45:25.000 CJ says, as a former reactor operator, I love the enthusiasm, but this discussion is making my eyes bleed.

01:45:30.000 Love the show.

01:45:32.000 When the radioactive Florbo particle meets the Zombo, and then they collide, splitting into 17 quarks, the quarks start spinning, creating a time dilation, just to say science things. 0.88

01:45:44.000 The leptons and fermions.

01:45:45.000 Yes.

01:45:46.000 Start jumping, and then when they jump, it generates isoelectricity, Let's just say words.

01:45:52.000 Spinners, half spinners, full spinners.

01:45:54.000 Speaking about all that, and I don't know the details, but Jack keeps on telling me about it like CERN.

01:46:00.000 Apparently something big is happening with CERN, so that might be interesting.

01:46:04.000 In 2012 it did.

01:46:05.000 I'm big into excitons.

01:46:07.000 That's a cool particle.

01:46:09.000 You're going to have to lecture me on this for sure.

01:46:12.000 That's how you make antimatter.

01:46:14.000 Corn5656 says, Hey Tim, been watching since the beginning of Tomcat's IRL and y'all have inspired me to get in shape.

01:46:22.000 It allowed me to value my life choices and kick myself in gear.

01:46:25.000 Ian is the best guru.

01:46:26.000 Skulls for the skull throne.

01:46:29.000 Um, I tell you this, man.

01:46:31.000 If you're not in shape, and then you get in shape, the feeling is so amazing, you don't know what you're missing out on.

01:46:39.000 Like, always feeling good.

01:46:41.000 I gotta say, Flex, I've been looking at your ripped arms.

01:46:43.000 What's your what's your?

01:46:45.000 Yeah, what's your workout regime like?

01:46:49.000 Oh, God, look, let's just say I'm probably one of the lucky few that won

01:46:55.000 genetic lottery of not having very many myostatin.

01:46:57.000 So I don't lose muscle.

01:46:59.000 And I gained a lot of this during a longer best football career.

01:47:04.000 But honestly, I would say for anybody that wants to, you know, at least build respectable arms, high volume.

01:47:11.000 Volume really is king, and if you don't go too high... Low reps?

01:47:17.000 I'd actually go higher on the reps only because, again, you don't want to go too high on weight.

01:47:22.000 You don't want to tear something.

01:47:23.000 When you say high volume, what do you mean exactly?

01:47:25.000 Like lots of rep sets, sometimes rest-pause sets.

01:47:31.000 The final number needs to be as big as possible.

01:47:33.000 Not so much having super dense rep sets.

01:47:36.000 Just make sure that you get to a certain high amount.

01:47:41.000 Freedom Thoughts says, watched your segment on dating.

01:47:43.000 Story you read sounds a lot like my situation.

01:47:45.000 Very few matches, and when I do, they rarely message back.

01:47:49.000 I've had a handful of no-shows.

01:47:50.000 Rural living, so the only place is the bar.

01:47:52.000 Don't want that.

01:47:53.000 So there's this viral post from the other day where this woman, she's 33, she said,

01:47:58.000 I was trying to help my brother who's 31 date.

01:48:01.000 He was having a problem with online dating and I said, you must be doing something wrong.

01:48:04.000 So I'll take your profile, I'll put your pictures up, I'll set it up, and then I'll send out

01:48:08.000 some messages to get things started for you and show you how to talk to women because 1.00

01:48:11.000 clearly you must be doing something wrong.

01:48:12.000 Then she said, I'm totally depressed now.

01:48:15.000 There's no matches.

01:48:16.000 There's no responses.

01:48:17.000 Women won't talk to me at all. 1.00

01:48:19.000 I don't understand what I'm doing wrong or why it's happening.

01:48:21.000 How can men deal with this?

01:48:22.000 This is a nightmare.

01:48:23.000 For women, you get a response every time you send a message out. 1.00

01:48:26.000 You get massive amounts of matches.

01:48:29.000 You can go through all the matches and I'm like, wow.

01:48:32.000 You know, I think men don't understand how women have it.

01:48:34.000 Women don't understand how men have it. 1.00

01:48:35.000 But I do think men understand a little bit better how women have it than women understand how men have it.

01:48:42.000 Yeah, that's just my perspective.

01:48:43.000 Maybe I'm wrong.

01:48:44.000 But I do think it's fascinating when you get these feminists saying, like, men have it so, so much better than women. 1.00

01:48:49.000 And I'm like, man, five times the homelessness and five times the suicide.

01:48:53.000 You know, 98% of combat death.

01:48:57.000 Look, everybody's got good things and bad things, but I think perspective is important.

01:49:01.000 And I think the issue is, one of the ways I've explained it is, men have no value when they're young.

01:49:08.000 They have no status, no strength, they're not adults, they don't have muscle mass, so there's like very little they can do in terms of lifting stuff or construction or planning things.

01:49:16.000 So they're just considered less valuable.

01:49:18.000 Women are prime value, according to evolutionary biology, because they can have kids. 1.00

01:49:24.000 And I'm not saying it's a good thing.

01:49:25.000 I think, you know, we as a society have evolved beyond just being like we're baser, you know, just reproducing animals.

01:49:32.000 But what happens then is we still have these tendencies from evolutionary biology that we overprotect women because they have higher value 1.00

01:49:38.000 than men and then we undervalue men because they can't do much for 0.80

01:49:42.000 society based on again evolutionary biology. So things start to invert

01:49:46.000 around 30 when men all of a sudden have wealth and status and career

01:49:49.000 and women you know are no longer in their prime years for having kids. 0.99

01:49:53.000 These are things that I think are bad we should consider.

01:49:55.000 If you want to take the feminist approach and be like, women shouldn't be treated this way, you got it. 1.00

01:49:59.000 Men shouldn't be treated this way either.

01:50:01.000 So that means we need to make sure that younger men are getting a better shot at things and being treated well.

01:50:05.000 And women, as they get older, are being treated well.

01:50:07.000 Everybody has equal opportunity.

01:50:10.000 However, there are natural tendencies because of human biology.

01:50:13.000 And that what happens in dating?

01:50:15.000 I think the data from OkCupid was that something like the top 10% of men are getting 80% of the women.

01:50:21.000 Yeah.

01:50:22.000 Women don't respond to average men. 1.00

01:50:25.000 They have no interest in doing so and it makes sense.

01:50:27.000 If every guy messages every woman they can, the woman can scroll through and look for the best looking guy and be like him and ignore everybody else. 1.00

01:50:35.000 Men don't have that option. 1.00

01:50:36.000 And I've got to pick up litter again.

01:50:38.000 Men have to be the hunters, the gatherers, the forgers, and it's a zero sum game.

01:50:42.000 You know, if you don't have a woman, then it's not like you're, you know, a new woman is created for you.

01:50:47.000 If you get a woman, then that means that's the one woman that another guy is not going to get the date.

01:50:53.000 So it's, you know, the competition is much higher.

01:50:55.000 I kind of, kind of treat it like a video game, man.

01:50:58.000 Online dating is crazy.

01:50:59.000 It's broken.

01:51:00.000 Yeah, it doesn't work.

01:51:01.000 Not right.

01:51:01.000 I have no luck online dating, but when I meet women, I have insane.

01:51:05.000 I mean, it's just, it's easy.

01:51:06.000 Stick to that.

01:51:07.000 Well, it's the vibe, you know, you can't get that in a picture.

01:51:10.000 It's not that.

01:51:11.000 It's that when you go out to an event, a bar, a market, wherever, where you naturally meet people.

01:51:16.000 People are walking around and it's fairly 51% men, I mean, 51% women, 48% men.

01:51:23.000 And let's say you're at like an amusement park or you're at a music venue and then you see a woman and you start having a conversation.

01:51:30.000 Yeah, it's because you're like the guy there.

01:51:32.000 You go up and say, hey, how you doing?

01:51:33.000 And then she's like, cool.

01:51:34.000 And you vibe.

01:51:36.000 Online dating, literally every single guy is screaming at the top of their lungs I want a girlfriend all at the same time and the women are 1.00

01:51:44.000 just like, uh, you let's get out of here.

01:51:46.000 So you have no chance to even say hello. Right? So online, that's why they did Bumble women message 1.00

01:51:52.000 first. And so I think that's a smarter move because then men don't spam message women. And

01:51:59.000 the issue then still is though the OkCupid data that, you know, ugly, ugly and average women 1.00

01:52:05.000 still try and message attractive guys.

01:52:08.000 They go high, and they go high, and unfortunately, we go low.

01:52:11.000 I hate to say that, but... All right, Grayson Resident says, Tim, as an investor, please check your facts.

01:52:17.000 Tesla earned $788 million last quarter.

01:52:19.000 Regulatory credits excluded.

01:52:21.000 Good point.

01:52:22.000 Well, take that into consideration, everyone else, and then Google it, because I was just saying something I read in an article.

01:52:27.000 I'm not well-versed on the Tesla stuff.

01:52:33.000 Dutch R. Jan says, Physicist here.

01:52:37.000 Most NG turbines burn gas directly in the turbine like a jet engine.

01:52:41.000 Wow!

01:52:42.000 No water needed.

01:52:42.000 There you go.

01:52:44.000 Helium nuke is 2P2N.

01:52:46.000 Hydrogen is just Pd versus H fusion is easier as it needs to make less N. CO2 is what plants eat.

01:52:55.000 The world is getting greener.

01:52:57.000 Well, there you go.

01:52:58.000 And that's kind of what I said again, you know, carbon and carbon dioxide.

01:53:02.000 Is it really a problem?

01:53:03.000 Because we have a system, human, human body exchange, carbon dioxide plants feed off of it.

01:53:08.000 You know, they produce oxygen.

01:53:10.000 We, you know, it's a cycle.

01:53:12.000 Nature heals itself.

01:53:13.000 Here's, here's a good and a good, interesting and new question.

01:53:17.000 Rudy C. Winslow says, Ian, what are you, what's your opinion on rights?

01:53:20.000 Do you believe they are granted to us by God?

01:53:23.000 I'm just kidding.

01:53:23.000 Don't answer it.

01:53:24.000 That's a joke.

01:53:26.000 OurFamilyVideo says, I love you guys, but technology isn't really within your scope, looks at Ian.

01:53:31.000 Please try to get IsaacArthurSFIA.

01:53:34.000 You could have amazing discussions on science and futurism, a truly epic crossover.

01:53:38.000 Yeah, I'm gonna agree with you.

01:53:39.000 I'm kind of a guy that knows a little bit about a lot of different stuff, and I want to highlight the really important things in society.

01:53:45.000 So sometimes I get a little excited and talk about it a little bit more than I'm, you know, I can't fault you for that.

01:53:51.000 I'm the same way.

01:53:52.000 Again, it's kind of a jack-of-all-trades kind of deal, unfortunately.

01:53:55.000 Something just goes lacking sometimes, or sometimes you're not as well-versed because you're spreading finite time on a bunch of different topics.

01:54:03.000 I try to know enough about it that if I sit down with an expert, I know what they're talking about.

01:54:08.000 You can hold your own, at the very least.

01:54:11.000 DJ Madero says, Tim, Sour Patch Lids, and Ian, I once had a super chat that asked you to read Arthur C. Clarke's 3001, specifically the Sources and Acknowledgements, Chapter 7, debriefing.

01:54:22.000 It talks about vacuum energy and what it means, it also ties into Stargate.

01:54:27.000 Interesting.

01:54:27.000 Vacuum energy.

01:54:28.000 Zero point energy.

01:54:30.000 The Schwarzschild proton.

01:54:32.000 It's Nassim Harriman's paper about quantum fluctuation, vacuum fluctuation.

01:54:36.000 Every proton in the universe is two protons revolving around each other at the speed of light.

01:54:41.000 And every proton, everything he's calculated, like done away with the strong force.

01:54:46.000 And if you're if you want to, I think he's basically solved Einstein's field equation of like a unifying field theory.

01:54:52.000 It's called the Schwarzschild proton.

01:54:55.000 Vacuum energy.

01:54:55.000 We're going to get our energy from the vacuum.

01:54:57.000 Yep.

01:54:59.000 Like the villain in, um, The Incredibles.

01:55:03.000 I can't remember him.

01:55:06.000 Uh, what was his name?

01:55:07.000 Syndrome.

01:55:08.000 Yeah, that's right.

01:55:11.000 Neo Ritter says, you need to watch Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

01:55:15.000 Anime about two protagonists in diametrically opposed government systems.

01:55:19.000 One, a dictatorship.

01:55:20.000 The other, democracy.

01:55:21.000 Watch the OG OVA first.

01:55:23.000 You see, have you read Death Note or seen it?

01:55:26.000 I got into it at some point, but I think when Elle and Light Med... Spoiler alert.

01:55:31.000 Oh.

01:55:32.000 No, it's fine.

01:55:33.000 We can spoil it.

01:55:33.000 It's a 20-year-old show.

01:55:36.000 What are the rules on spoilers?

01:55:37.000 I don't know, but when Elle and Light Med, that was kind of where I just got... It was like, holy crap.

01:55:43.000 Oh, dude, it's such a good show. 0.97

01:55:45.000 You know Death Note, right?

01:55:46.000 Yeah, I've seen a few episodes.

01:55:48.000 You get a notebook, and then you write someone's name in it, and they'll die as you say it, as long as it's within the realm of possibility.

01:55:54.000 So this dude basically says he'll start watching the TV and then writing down the names of all these criminals.

01:55:59.000 And if he doesn't give a reason, they have a heart attack because he wants the world to know that criminals are dying of a heart attack.

01:56:05.000 It's not a coincidence.

01:56:06.000 And then L is this world famous detective trying to track him down.

01:56:09.000 But I bring it up because there is a new one shot with Donald Trump in it.

01:56:15.000 There is a Donald Trump, there's a Death Note comic after the series where some kid gets a hold of it and then uses the dark web or something to auction off the Death Note.

01:56:26.000 Now that everyone knows what it is, Donald Trump offers like an obscene amount of money for it, like 50 trillion or something, because he doesn't want other countries to get it.

01:56:33.000 Literally Donald Trump is in it.

01:56:35.000 What more could you want?

01:56:36.000 Got it.

01:56:37.000 We needed it.

01:56:37.000 going to spoil it actually. It is relatively new and you should read it because it's hilarious

01:56:41.000 and it's like it's a good comic and Trump's in it. There you go. And you can see how it

01:56:45.000 plays out. It's interesting.

01:56:46.000 What more could you want?

01:56:48.000 Yeah. Donald Trump anime. All that good stuff.

01:56:51.000 Got it. We need it. We needed that Trump anime that never came.

01:56:56.000 Poofy says Malcolm is literally swole doge meme.

01:56:59.000 Yes.

01:57:00.000 Correct.

01:57:01.000 Can we get a pan over here?

01:57:02.000 There you go.

01:57:03.000 There you go.

01:57:03.000 You got it.

01:57:04.000 This ain't even my QB second weight.

01:57:06.000 This is me in a streamlined form.

01:57:09.000 Did you play all over the linebackers?

01:57:11.000 Linebackers and tight end.

01:57:14.000 Although, again, tight end, I actually got phased out at some point because we wanted the new sleek, fast models that run all the routes and catch.

01:57:21.000 Did you play left, right, and center linebackers?

01:57:23.000 Just move around?

01:57:24.000 Um, pretty much just inside linebacker, but also when I started out with the outside linebacker, so designated past Russia, basically.

01:57:33.000 All right.

01:57:34.000 Harvey Slayer says, we need journalists like you to create online profiles on every state federal politician and record their political stances, votes, scandals, and overall performance.

01:57:45.000 The people need to be better informed so they can hold them accountable.

01:57:50.000 Is there a website that can show you all their votes?

01:57:52.000 I'm pretty sure there is.

01:57:53.000 It should be a blockchain.

01:57:54.000 Well, I think the issue is that it does exist.

01:57:56.000 I think you can go to, like, congress.gov and stuff, or BillTracker, but they're not easy.

01:58:02.000 I want to be able to see, like, a picture of everyone in Congress, and you can, like, click them, and then it says, latest votes, and it's really easy to see.

01:58:11.000 Latest bills, latest proposals, latest votes, latest news articles.

01:58:15.000 And then when they get voted out, we put them into, like, you know... Hall of Fame?

01:58:20.000 Not Hall of Fame, just like historical record.

01:58:22.000 You can go back and look at different politicians and what they voted on and it stores it.

01:58:26.000 I think we just need an easy, streamlined system that does that.

01:58:29.000 Like a smart contract blockchain.

01:58:31.000 And we would embed C-SPAN so that like even when you go there, you can see active voting.

01:58:35.000 And then we would have staff who watch it and then enter it in in real time.

01:58:38.000 I sure wish we could get Joe Biden's old voting records unsealed.

01:58:41.000 That would be nice to see.

01:58:43.000 Are they actually sealed?

01:58:44.000 Yes.

01:58:44.000 Some of the nice colorful stuff.

01:58:47.000 I'd love that.

01:58:47.000 Did he seal them or were they always sealed?

01:58:50.000 Ooh, that's actually a question.

01:58:52.000 I'm not 10% sure.

01:58:53.000 Political Defiant got me.

01:58:55.000 He says, name of the anime you spoke of.

01:58:57.000 It's Arifureta.

01:58:59.000 From Commonplace to World's Strongest.

01:59:01.000 Arifureta.

01:59:02.000 I'm pronouncing it probably terribly.

01:59:03.000 Also, if we do go towards nuclear, how do we deal with waste?

01:59:08.000 In fact, what should we do with all the waste?

01:59:11.000 Futurama.

01:59:12.000 Futurama it to the sun?

01:59:14.000 Tim, Ian, Lids, and Malcolm, have a great one.

01:59:16.000 Yes, launch it into the sun.

01:59:18.000 I guess the nuclear batteries, that's what I've been thinking about lately.

01:59:20.000 Yeah, nuclear waste would be great. 1.00

01:59:22.000 I mean, that nuclear battery idea is like, you know, that's mind blowing.

01:59:26.000 It kind of does away with centralized power grids that we'll all have our own batteries.

01:59:30.000 But that's the problem though.

01:59:32.000 It decentralized it.

01:59:33.000 Where are we trending towards?

01:59:35.000 Everything people, you know, the powers that be will never allow that to happen.

01:59:39.000 And you need funding to make it happen.

01:59:43.000 M. Shiba says Obama was in the manga Air Gear as John Omaha.

01:59:48.000 But I'm pretty sure in the Death Note one-off, it's literally Donald Trump.

01:59:52.000 Call Donald Trump in the presidential office saying, I want to buy the Death Note.

01:59:57.000 You know, I'll just tell you this.

01:59:58.000 He doesn't get it.

01:59:59.000 Wait, don't spoil it.

02:00:01.000 Oh no, I think he does.

02:00:02.000 I think he does get it.

02:00:03.000 I don't remember, actually.

02:00:05.000 All I know is it would be amazing if they actually did a one-shot where it's Trump with the death note.

02:00:09.000 Oh.

02:00:11.000 Oh man, that would be a great skit where Trump's sitting there like by himself in the Oval Office and he's like, Joe Biden is so awful.

02:00:18.000 I'm going to write his name. 0.59

02:00:19.000 Hillary Clinton should be in prison. 1.00

02:00:20.000 That's her. 0.88

02:00:21.000 What's got to happen is- And then he can manifest things other than just dying.

02:00:26.000 He gets the death note and like lightning strikes and he cleaves into two realities.

02:00:30.000 One where he becomes evil with the death note and one where he becomes just.

02:00:33.000 Dude, speaking of the two realities, man, I'm still mad that, you know, somewhere off in prime timeline Earth, President Alex Jones is sending his Secretary of Defense, Michael Malice, to negotiate a treaty with China.

02:00:47.000 And we're missing that.

02:00:48.000 That's prime Earth?

02:00:49.000 That's probably prime Earth.

02:00:50.000 I'm sorry, we're clowniverse443.

02:00:53.000 So yeah, we are the clowniverse.

02:00:56.000 I don't know, I think we were in Earth Prime, and then the Large Hadron Collider turned on in 2016 and caused Earth Prime to shake and jostle between some alternate realities.

02:01:09.000 And I'll tell you this, it wasn't that there was a clean jump to another reality, it was like all of a sudden a bunch of realities slammed together.

02:01:17.000 Oh.

02:01:17.000 and random particles mix so all of a sudden it's like you have a little bit of random everything Republicans

02:01:22.000 become Democrats Democrats become Republicans Trump gets elected

02:01:26.000 I duck duck go 2012 CERN and the first thing that came up was sorry but we

02:01:30.000 accidentally ended the world in 2012 there you go oh that's crazy

02:01:37.000 I'm sorry, but think about this.

02:01:39.000 What if everybody's actually living in pocket dimensions and Democrats are actually living in a dimension where COVID really is as bad as they think and we're in like the real and we're like in a different dimension where COVID's actually not that bad.

02:01:53.000 You know, we're all free and then like what if there's like this whole The holofractographic universe?

02:01:59.000 That's another Nassim Harriman theory.

02:02:00.000 This guy's a genius.

02:02:01.000 We should do a spoof of What If?

02:02:02.000 Have you guys seen What If?

02:02:03.000 On Disney?

02:02:04.000 Oh yeah, I saw it.

02:02:05.000 The watchers watching all these different universes?

02:02:08.000 We should make a spoof version of like, What If, but real life.

02:02:12.000 In this universe, Donald Trump never won the election.

02:02:15.000 You have infinite material there too.

02:02:15.000 Infinite.

02:02:17.000 Oh my God.

02:02:19.000 That actually would be really fun to do a real life political.

02:02:22.000 Like what if, what if Joe Biden didn't win and like Tulsi Gabbard became president?

02:02:26.000 Reenact it.

02:02:27.000 Put up a fan poll each week and you know, what episode would you like to see?

02:02:30.000 And then like give them options.

02:02:32.000 They choose which one.

02:02:33.000 We'll do a, what if Ian Crosland started TimCast and then hired Tim Pool?

02:02:37.000 Wow.

02:02:38.000 That would be tasty.

02:02:40.000 But it would be funny because you would literally be just wearing the same thing as me and talking like me.

02:02:45.000 And I'd be sitting there talking about DMT and stuff.

02:02:48.000 But that would be surreal.

02:02:50.000 That would still be surreal.

02:02:51.000 My mind would be blown.

02:02:53.000 Alright everybody, if you haven't already, give us a like, subscribe to the channel, and go to TimCast.com because that member segment's coming up maybe around 11pm or so.
