Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - AOC Ignites Tabloid Drama Distraction Deriding Cop Who Saved Her w- FreedomToons

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:37.000 you it has now been nearly a month since the since the storming

00:01:01.000 of the capital in Washington DC.

00:01:03.000 And just the other night, Ocasio-Cortez told this story, recounting this very traumatic moment for her, and I mean that, it was traumatic for her, she says so, where a police officer knocked on her door, she says, pounded very loudly, said, where is she?

00:01:17.000 And she was afraid for her life, thinking it was the rioters.

00:01:19.000 Well, it was actually a cop who was there to save her, and then ushered her and her staff out and told them to run and go to another building.

00:01:26.000 It's created kind of a tabloid controversy that I think is a dumb distraction because right now we have the GameStop rebellion, we have Joe Biden signing or preparing an executive order to nationalize 9 million immigrants, so like we have a lot going on in this country.

00:01:41.000 But for some reason the headlines are dominated by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Michael Tracy.

00:01:47.000 It really is the weirdest thing.

00:01:50.000 And so here we are, once again, wrapped up in this.

00:01:52.000 But you know what?

00:01:53.000 We were sitting here talking about, shouldn't we open with China threatening Taiwan and Joe Biden's immigration policies?

00:01:58.000 And I was like, you're right, you're right.

00:02:00.000 But this is trending.

00:02:02.000 We should address it in a critical way to call it out.

00:02:05.000 And we're going to call it out.

00:02:06.000 We're going to call out how, now that Trump is gone, What we're seeing is many of these tabloid drama culture war outlets are desperate to get something.

00:02:16.000 So they're going after Marjorie Taylor Greene, now AOC comes out.

00:02:20.000 Michael Tracy tweeted one thing and now they're writing news stories in Newsweek about him?

00:02:24.000 Dude, he's just a guy on Twitter.

00:02:25.000 He's a journalist.

00:02:26.000 What is this? 0.99

00:02:26.000 It's ridiculous. 0.99

00:02:28.000 And then we're going to talk about China, and we're going to talk about immigration, and then we're going to talk about life after death, and just kind of chill out, you know, and have some more serious conversations.

00:02:37.000 I don't really like talking about people, so we are going to be talking about AOC and the drama, but we're going to be talking about the ideas around it and why it's happening.

00:02:45.000 So, that being said, we are joined today by none other than Seamus of Freedom Tunes.

00:02:49.000 It's great to be back, Tim.

00:02:50.000 I've missed this.

00:02:51.000 I've missed this.

00:02:52.000 How long has it been?

00:02:53.000 It has been since the election.

00:02:55.000 Yeah.

00:02:55.000 Cause you were like pointing at a bunch of things we built and you're like, what's happening?

00:02:58.000 Yeah, I know.

00:02:58.000 I was here.

00:02:59.000 I was like, what has happened to this house?

00:03:00.000 You guys have, you don't, you don't even want to know what's going on behind the scenes here.

00:03:03.000 It's actually terrifying.

00:03:04.000 I wish I hadn't learned.

00:03:05.000 My eyes have been open and I can't close them now.

00:03:07.000 Yes.

00:03:07.000 Horrifying.

00:03:08.000 Alright.

00:03:09.000 You know, it's interesting what you said about AOC, and you said you don't like talking about people.

00:03:12.000 I also don't.

00:03:13.000 I like making cartoons about them, and I feel like there's a way to make it good-natured, and to poke fun at them exactly the way you want to, but I find when you're on the spot talking about these public figures, it's a little worrisome, because you're like, I don't want to say the wrong thing and treat this person unjustly, even though I think they're wrong about basically everything.

00:03:32.000 I want to rag on people who are taking this whole situation seriously.

00:03:38.000 And it's not about AOC saying, you know, I was experiencing trauma.

00:03:41.000 I can respect someone being scared and their perspective.

00:03:46.000 And when I heard her tell the story, I was like, how about that?

00:03:49.000 And then I moved on.

00:03:50.000 The issue is the drama that they've developed around it.

00:03:52.000 Latching onto Michael Tracy and Glenn Greenwald and trying to make this into a big story because they don't...

00:03:57.000 Maybe it's because they know that they'll get more traffic doing a snapback article than actually talking about important things.

00:04:04.000 We'll get into it.

00:04:06.000 I'd be interested to see the coverage on AOC's story compared to the coverage on Rand Paul being attacked.

00:04:12.000 Oh, right, for sure.

00:04:14.000 Yeah.

00:04:14.000 Well, we got Luka Kaskis, Sean.

00:04:15.000 Well, I actually talked about the story today in my own personal video, and I just mentioned it for five seconds saying it's absolutely nonsensical, stupid, and has no effect on your life. 0.99

00:04:24.000 But here we are. 0.98

00:04:25.000 Even the Rolling Stones wrote an article titled, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said something genuine.

00:04:33.000 So, of course, men reacted poorly.

00:04:34.000 That's on the Rolling Stones right now, of course, going after Michael Tracy and other people.

00:04:38.000 The world has gone mad.

00:04:39.000 There's a lot more important things that we should be focusing on.

00:04:42.000 But, you know, c'est la vie.

00:04:44.000 Welcome back, beautiful and amazing human beings.

00:04:46.000 This is Ugadowski of WeAreChange.org.

00:04:48.000 If you want to get involved with what I'm doing, you could check me out and my efforts on WeAreChange.org forward slash donate and I release videos almost daily on the YouTube channel WeAreChange.

00:04:57.000 Thanks for having me.

00:04:58.000 Well, I should have done a plug like that.

00:05:00.000 That was way better.

00:05:00.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:05:01.000 I've studied.

00:05:02.000 Hey, everybody.

00:05:03.000 I'm Ian Croson.

00:05:04.000 I also am not a huge fan of talking about people, but I'd like talking about sociology and cult worship and, you know, what we're looking at right now with like YouTube stars, like OC's a celebrity using the YouTubes to get her message out there.

00:05:20.000 But I really like talking about what we were talking about earlier.

00:05:22.000 Like, what's God?

00:05:23.000 What is God exactly?

00:05:24.000 That's what we're going to get to later on.

00:05:25.000 Yeah.

00:05:25.000 And what is God?

00:05:26.000 Are you pro-death penalty, Luke?

00:05:28.000 Um, no.

00:05:29.000 Well, yeah, we're having that conversation also.

00:05:31.000 You're just putting me on the spot.

00:05:32.000 What's your stance on abortion, Ian?

00:05:35.000 Are you pro-abortion or anti-abortion?

00:05:37.000 Yes or no?

00:05:38.000 Give me an answer right now.

00:05:39.000 I'm pro-choice.

00:05:41.000 Uh-oh.

00:05:41.000 That's going to be another debate.

00:05:42.000 We're not afraid to talk.

00:05:43.000 That one goes for like 10 hours as soon as it happens.

00:05:46.000 We had a debate about that that was like an hour.

00:05:48.000 We took up like the last hour of the show.

00:05:49.000 It was good though.

00:05:50.000 It was a good conversation.

00:05:51.000 Okay, also, Sarpatch Lids is pushing all the buttons.

00:05:53.000 I am here in the corner, pushing all the buttons, trying to keep up with all this conversation.

00:05:56.000 Thank you, Lids.

00:05:56.000 That's the introduction.

00:05:58.000 Let's jump into the tabloid drama, but before we do, head over to timcast.com.

00:06:02.000 Become a member.

00:06:03.000 We have this really great members-only post from the other night.

00:06:07.000 Where we showed this video from Tony Robbins calling out COVID as hysteria, saying John Hopkins did the study, they said the death rate hasn't changed, like it's 2.8 million.

00:06:16.000 Interesting conversation.

00:06:17.000 The best part is somehow we managed to segue into a story about Luke getting catfished, and it's just...

00:06:23.000 Talking about nonsense, I guess.

00:06:24.000 I have some very interesting stories.

00:06:27.000 And if you can watch it, if you go to TimCast.com and become a member.

00:06:30.000 But let me, I will stress, I've been going really, really hard on the hedge funds and Wall Street and the establishment elites.

00:06:36.000 And this is the real issue, the real threat, when the left and the right agree.

00:06:40.000 One of the reasons I think that we're getting this AOC story as prominent as it is, is because it easily distracts from the Wall Street bets, you know, GameStop rebellion.

00:06:50.000 So all of a sudden, everyone's writing stories.

00:06:52.000 They tried to divert, saying, buy silver.

00:06:53.000 It didn't work.

00:06:54.000 Now they're like, hey everybody, look at this.

00:06:56.000 People are fighting again.

00:06:57.000 Yeah, you know.

00:06:59.000 We run the risk of getting banned when we actually cut through the noise and talk about real issues.

00:07:04.000 And they've been banning a lot of people.

00:07:06.000 So that's why we set up TimCast.com and we're expanding.

00:07:08.000 We're going to be doing a, we have a new format coming out soon.

00:07:12.000 There's a new blog section and we're going to be featuring content and videos and writing original stuff and putting up original stuff.

00:07:17.000 It'll be a lot of fun.

00:07:17.000 Yeah.

00:07:18.000 You were going to say something, James?

00:07:19.000 Yeah, I posted a cartoon today about the whole Wall Street fiasco.

00:07:23.000 If you guys want to check out Freedom Tunes, it's called Game Stonks, and I think you'll all love it very much.

00:07:29.000 It's awesome.

00:07:30.000 Also, Ethereum hit an all-time high today.

00:07:32.000 What did it hit?

00:07:32.000 1490 or something.

00:07:33.000 Wow.

00:07:36.000 Here's a story from Fox News.

00:07:37.000 AOC questions if Capitol Police Officer tried to put her in a vulnerable situation.

00:07:41.000 He was here, he said to buy some, so I was like, okay.

00:07:42.000 And then I did.

00:07:43.000 Yeah, that's a huge gain.

00:07:46.000 Wow, I should look into that.

00:07:47.000 Anyway, let's talk news.

00:07:49.000 Here's a story from Fox News.

00:07:50.000 AOC questions if Capitol Police Officer tried to put her in a vulnerable situation.

00:07:56.000 Quote, he was looking at me with a tremendous amount of anger and hostility.

00:08:01.000 They say, Rep AOC wondered aloud Monday whether a Capitol Police Officer

00:08:05.000 who barged into her office to direct her to a safe location during the January 6th riot

00:08:09.000 was actually trying to protect her or not, saying, like so many other communities in this country,

00:08:14.000 just that presence doesn't give you a clear signal if you're safe or not.

00:08:18.000 So the situation did not feel okay.

00:08:20.000 AOC has for weeks said she thought she was going to die that day.

00:08:23.000 She said the officer had anger and hostility in his eyes, and she questioned whether or not he had been trying to put her in a vulnerable situation.

00:08:31.000 Still, she said she wasn't sure and was trying not to pass judgment.

00:08:35.000 The New York Democrat detailed on Instagram Live Monday night the series of events that led her to question the officer's motives.

00:08:41.000 At the time, she realized Ryders had breached the Capitol and she hid in her office, fearing for her life.

00:08:46.000 She says that, uh, a little after 1 p.m., she heard banging on the door, like someone was trying to break down the door.

00:08:52.000 Fearing it was a rioter, she hid in her bathroom.

00:08:54.000 She said she heard repeated yells of, where is she, through the door hinge.

00:08:58.000 I see this white man in a black beanie.

00:09:00.000 I have never been quieter in my life.

00:09:02.000 All of a sudden, I hear my staffer G yell out, hey, it's okay, come out.

00:09:06.000 When I come out, this man is a Capitol Police officer.

00:09:09.000 He was looking at me with a tremendous amount of anger and hostility.

00:09:12.000 Things weren't adding up, she continued.

00:09:14.000 She said her staffer had also not known if the officer was there to help us or hurt us.

00:09:19.000 That is how aggressive the situation was in that moment.

00:09:21.000 We couldn't tell if this was a good situation or a bad situation.

00:09:24.000 Well, I'll tell you.

00:09:25.000 The first thing I'll say is... AOC has no conflict experience.

00:09:29.000 What did she do? 0.80

00:09:29.000 She went to Boston University or whatever? 0.80

00:09:31.000 She did work at a bar, though. 0.96

00:09:32.000 I mean, bar friends do break out.

00:09:35.000 A little bit facetious, but yeah.

00:09:37.000 You know, I can respect that she was genuinely scared.

00:09:40.000 100%.

00:09:41.000 But I am a little mildly perturbed at this story where you have a cop rushing to her because he knows she's famous, I'm assuming.

00:09:51.000 But this cop goes to her office, knocks on the door, probably loudly.

00:09:55.000 I mean, there's a riot going on.

00:09:56.000 And when he says, where is she?

00:09:58.000 She assumes all these negative things about the cop who actually saved her and protected her and told her to go to a different building.

00:10:04.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:10:04.000 So what is the exact complaint here from her?

00:10:07.000 Just that he was too angry or he was harsh in his tone?

00:10:09.000 Or did he say something to her?

00:10:10.000 I don't understand.

00:10:11.000 Yeah, he was harsh in his tone.

00:10:12.000 And, you know, interestingly, I'm not going to put all the heat on AOC for this one.

00:10:18.000 She was telling a story about how she felt and how she perceived it.

00:10:20.000 Yeah, I get it.

00:10:20.000 That's fine.

00:10:21.000 The issue is how the media's latching onto it to turn it into a culture war issue.

00:10:25.000 That's a very good point.

00:10:25.000 And then Michael Tracy called it emotional manipulation.

00:10:28.000 I even said earlier, I wouldn't call it manipulation.

00:10:31.000 Actually, you know, Michael Tracy's right.

00:10:33.000 But I don't think it's, you know, what she did when she told the story was more about promoting herself and getting more attention because she is a master at turning the story into a story about AOC.

00:10:43.000 Now, it's nearly a month later, and the Capitol riot story is all about AOC, and Ted Cruz almost had her killed, and now she's hiding in her bathroom.

00:10:52.000 And there are a lot of questions we've got to bring up about this story, but I don't know.

00:10:54.000 Luke, you were going to say something?

00:10:55.000 I mean, it was an intense moment.

00:10:57.000 It would be interesting to know if this was before and after the police shot and killed someone.

00:11:02.000 But, you know, that officer probably thought he was risking his life, and it was a very intense moment, so I think that's worth factoring in here, too.

00:11:08.000 And as you said, what's the story here?

00:11:10.000 There's none.

00:11:10.000 It's a nothing burger.

00:11:11.000 Nothing happened.

00:11:12.000 It's a personal story that again, the mainstream media and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, even though she's not really, you know, obsessing about it and pushing it like the mainstream media is, she knows what she's doing on the same hand as well.

00:11:23.000 She knows the attention this is going to get.

00:11:25.000 This is going to garner.

00:11:26.000 She knows the talking points.

00:11:28.000 And essentially, I mean, we're talking about it, right?

00:11:31.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:11:32.000 It's a perfect story because it's going to get both sides worked up.

00:11:34.000 You're going to have all the boomer cons who just love picking over every single one of AOC's sentences and freaking out about it. 1.00

00:11:42.000 And granted, there's subject matter there. 0.96

00:11:44.000 But at some point, when you argue with a fool, there are two, and you just have to ignore some of this. 0.97

00:11:49.000 I hear you on that, too, because the media keeps shoving it in our face. 0.96

00:11:52.000 I want to tell you exactly why I decided to talk about this story.

00:11:54.000 Because it's precisely how much I don't care about it.

00:11:58.000 And it embodies perfectly what I see almost like every day in news.

00:12:04.000 This was trending.

00:12:05.000 This story was trending this morning. 0.89

00:12:07.000 The Young Turks dedicated a live segment to this, like pathetic Michael Tracy. 0.90

00:12:12.000 And I'm like, that's what they are. 0.96

00:12:15.000 That's what they do.

00:12:16.000 That's what these news outlets and even the Young Turks do. 0.80

00:12:19.000 They pile on to the drama.

00:12:22.000 When I saw that AOC was, you know, this livestream, you know what I thought?

00:12:26.000 Huh.

00:12:27.000 That's it.

00:12:27.000 Yeah.

00:12:28.000 You know what I thought?

00:12:29.000 A white guy in a black beanie.

00:12:32.000 I just pictured you.

00:12:33.000 I pictured you.

00:12:34.000 It was me.

00:12:36.000 I was the cop the whole time.

00:12:38.000 That was her actual complaint.

00:12:39.000 That's beautiful.

00:12:40.000 There are stories like this all the time, where it's like, I see someone, you know, like someone from the squad tweet something, and I'm just like, I just see it and I go, uh-huh.

00:12:49.000 How is that impacting anything?

00:12:51.000 She told the story.

00:12:52.000 It was her feelings in the moment.

00:12:54.000 She told it the way she felt it.

00:12:55.000 It was good for her.

00:12:55.000 It generated a lot of press.

00:12:56.000 Congratulations.

00:12:58.000 And then, when Michael Tracy criticizes her, and he's just some dude on Twitter.

00:13:02.000 I'm not trying to be disrespectful.

00:13:03.000 He's a journalist.

00:13:03.000 He's got a Twitter account.

00:13:05.000 It turns into a major story where everyone's picking it up.

00:13:09.000 Listen, what we need to focus on, and we need a media to call out, say, Biden's 43 executive orders.

00:13:16.000 Oh my goodness.

00:13:16.000 Instead, what we get is drama between Twitter accounts.

00:13:22.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:13:23.000 Get used to that, though.

00:13:24.000 I mean, that gets views.

00:13:25.000 That's more interesting.

00:13:25.000 Who cares about executive orders?

00:13:27.000 And who in the media is going to talk about them?

00:13:29.000 Yep.

00:13:29.000 You know what I would like to point out?

00:13:31.000 I think maybe Congress should have combat training now.

00:13:34.000 Maybe it should be important if you're going to run for office and you get voted in that you need some sort of military training.

00:13:39.000 You remember when politicians used to duel each other?

00:13:42.000 Yes.

00:13:43.000 I mean, none of us remember it.

00:13:44.000 We weren't there.

00:13:44.000 Historically, yes.

00:13:47.000 Read about that in a history book or two.

00:13:49.000 I was watching Back to the Future, it was on the other day, and it was Back to the Future 3, where, you know, Biff, or whatever the guy, no, no, that was his name, Buford, that was his name.

00:13:57.000 He's gonna, you know, shoot at noon or whatever, old cliche.

00:14:01.000 And I was like, yeah, it's kind of like, we used to be, like, these high noon, ten paces duels in the Wild West, like, we used to do this all the time.

00:14:10.000 Yeah.

00:14:10.000 Like, politicians literally would just shoot each other.

00:14:13.000 Dude, if you ran into someone with your horse, they'd just shoot you.

00:14:17.000 Do you guys remember about 10 years ago, it was either a senator or congressman who yelled, you lie at Obama?

00:14:29.000 And they were like, I don't remember who, but the entire media was like, this is unprecedented.

00:14:33.000 This level of incivility.

00:14:34.000 I was like, they used to shoot each other.

00:14:36.000 Like they used to shoot each other.

00:14:38.000 But yeah, it's horrible.

00:14:39.000 And obviously, it's a better place to be in where yelling is bad.

00:14:43.000 And, you know, you're that far removed from violence.

00:14:46.000 But unfortunately, it does seem we are returning there in a lot of ways.

00:14:49.000 Tensions have been escalating.

00:14:50.000 It's kind of crazy when you look back a hundred years ago, hundreds of years ago, how, like, they didn't really value their own lives all that much.

00:14:57.000 Yeah.

00:14:58.000 Like, I wouldn't want to duel someone because I've grown quite fond of Yeah, I feel like we've talked about this before.

00:15:04.000 Maybe I've had this conversation with someone else, and maybe it's the way the past was depicted, or the machismo that people had.

00:15:10.000 But yeah, folks were a lot more willing to take risks that would result in their life ending.

00:15:14.000 I'm gonna die!

00:15:16.000 I've got about three teeth left, so it's probably about time anyway.

00:15:19.000 So there's a few things that I wanted to highlight with this story.

00:15:24.000 Should we have politicians who aren't going to be scared and hide in the bathroom while their staffers stand guard for them? 0.67

00:15:32.000 You know what I mean?

00:15:33.000 I don't blame her for being scared.

00:15:34.000 She didn't know what was going on.

00:15:39.000 I don't blame her.

00:15:39.000 She was scared.

00:15:42.000 Is this sort of back to Ian's point about some kind of military training for Congress people?

00:15:46.000 I don't know if we need Congress people to have military training or something like that.

00:15:52.000 But there's a funny issue in the story where she says her staffer told her it was safe to come out, implying that she was hiding in the bathroom and left her staffer out in the front to confront the rent.

00:16:00.000 Oh, I get that.

00:16:01.000 I hear you on that point, yes.

00:16:04.000 So, the issue I'm bringing up is...

00:16:07.000 Are these the people who are going to be voting our kids into war?

00:16:10.000 Yeah, that's a very good point.

00:16:11.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:16:13.000 They should be armed.

00:16:13.000 They should learn how to handle weapons, have some sort of combat training, and be armed if they're going to be working at the Capitol.

00:16:19.000 You know, I think that's a really good point.

00:16:22.000 Not necessarily because we expect that the Capitol is going to be continually attacked.

00:16:26.000 Again, hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

00:16:29.000 That said, if you are going to be sending people to fight in wars, and you are going to be regulating guns, you should probably have some knowledge of combat.

00:16:35.000 I say, let's go a step further.

00:16:37.000 If you want to fight a war, you go fight it.

00:16:39.000 If a politician wants to start one, bring your sons, bring yourself, go out there, just like the kings did.

00:16:43.000 The kings back in the day, obviously, as you said, way back in the day, if they wanted to fight a war, they would literally put their brothers, their sisters, their whole family on the front line.

00:16:53.000 They were the ones leading the charge, and why not bring that back?

00:16:57.000 Let's even bring back dueling if they want to do it themselves voluntarily.

00:17:00.000 I mean to me that's a that's a that's a you know solution that a Voluntarist would really like you need to like sign a contract like here by duel the problem with that is Someone could be coerced into signing something where they could yeah, I don't like it and then murder somebody I definitely like to do. 0.99

00:17:14.000 Oh, sorry No, I was going to say, there was a period where the kings stopped doing that.

00:17:18.000 And then, I don't know if you guys ever seen the movie The Patriot.

00:17:20.000 Man, I reference The Patriot so often.

00:17:21.000 Yeah, all the time.

00:17:22.000 I remember that one.

00:17:22.000 Where Cornwallis is like, you know, stop killing my officers.

00:17:26.000 Could you imagine the chaos of, you know, no officers on the battlefield? 0.86

00:17:30.000 Like, you can't kill those guys. 1.00

00:17:32.000 Just kill the poor people. 1.00

00:17:34.000 Yeah, it's really, really horrible. 0.98

00:17:35.000 And I'm definitely not a fan of dueling, but I hear you guys very much on this idea that There should be more of a cost to the people waging these wars, or pushing the country into them, that there isn't.

00:17:49.000 I mean, it's a cost that your average person pays, or is more liable to pay, and they just don't.

00:17:54.000 To me, it's also kind of awkward to see the people who create one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world, specifically with Yemen, selling weapons to Saudi Arabia, and allowing that, telling us about uncivility, and how rude people are, and how violent protests are. 0.77

00:18:10.000 The two don't really add up when you really look at it from that perspective.

00:18:13.000 Yeah, I mean, you look at the fact that Boeing had like a $580 billion contract servicing the F-12s that were being used to bomb Yemen by the Saudi Arabian government.

00:18:21.000 Well, no, no, no.

00:18:22.000 The U.S.-Saudi coalition that are working together in tandem bombing the crap out of mainly the Houthi areas, which of course is creating the worst humanitarian crisis according to the United Nations.

00:18:34.000 So here's what I want to do.

00:18:35.000 You know, we're talking about this, the Capitol riot again.

00:18:38.000 I'm just kind of like, it's been a month.

00:18:41.000 Why is this still coming up?

00:18:42.000 And so long as they want to milk it for all it's worth and then run these segments, I'll just be like, can we get that dude who's bar burnt down in the Minneapolis riots on the TV as well?

00:18:53.000 Cause I'm, I'm, I'm all down.

00:18:54.000 So like AOC told her story.

00:18:56.000 All right.

00:18:56.000 I respect that.

00:18:57.000 You know, I hear you.

00:18:58.000 I hear you.

00:18:58.000 It was probably traumatic.

00:18:59.000 You've never experienced before.

00:19:00.000 I must be, must be crazy and sorry it happened to you.

00:19:04.000 How about we make room on the stage for the businessman who set up a sports bar. 0.97

00:19:09.000 It was his dream.

00:19:09.000 He was a firefighter.

00:19:11.000 And then it got destroyed by these rioters.

00:19:13.000 How come we didn't have this massive news cycle for this guy?

00:19:16.000 And it was incumbent upon independent news channels and social media to promote this guy, to get him the support he needed.

00:19:23.000 Well, they're going to be talking about this for four years, minimum.

00:19:25.000 Exactly.

00:19:26.000 This is their 9-11.

00:19:27.000 This is their Pearl Harbor.

00:19:28.000 This is the event that they're going to be milking till... I don't even want to say when, but I remember even driving... Till the cows come home.

00:19:35.000 Yes.

00:19:35.000 Perfect.

00:19:36.000 I love it.

00:19:37.000 I remember just even today driving and listening to NPR, and they had a CIA guy.

00:19:42.000 Of course.

00:19:43.000 Who was talking about the dangers of insurrection domestically and specifically going on about how we need to take down Trump.

00:19:50.000 We need to charge him with as much as we can because he represents a strong guy and there's an ideology that we need to fight domestically and it was bomb.

00:20:00.000 It was just mind-boggling sitting back driving and watching and seeing a CIA guy who fought off insurgents in the Middle East now trying to implement some of those policies Inside of the United States domestically and when you look at Biden and the people he surrounded himself with especially with the laser like focus that the intelligence agencies under him according to John Brennan are going to be focusing now on the libertarians and on the nativists.

00:20:26.000 We're headed towards a situation that's not going to be clearing up anytime and this is why they're going to be talking about this insurrection for at least, at least four years.

00:20:36.000 I'm surprised we're still not milking 9-11 just like Rudy Giuliani did every opportunity.

00:20:40.000 We basically are with the Yeah, exactly, with the Patriot Act.

00:20:43.000 All the same laws are in effect, and all the same overreactions are still in place.

00:20:46.000 You know, we're still fighting in the Middle East.

00:20:48.000 These wars have continued after 20 years.

00:20:49.000 Afghanistan.

00:20:50.000 And even today, we've got news and information that, you know, Germany is pushing the United States to stay in longer.

00:20:56.000 And most likely, the other information and other reports we're getting in today is that the withdrawal that was planned from Afghanistan is not going to happen.

00:21:03.000 Oh, jeez.

00:21:03.000 So, the troop withdrawal.

00:21:06.000 Yeah, and what a shock that is, right?

00:21:08.000 Listen, you know why I love the GameStop story?

00:21:12.000 Is that for once, you have a clear path to uniting left and right on an issue they agree on, and against the establishment elites who propagate these wars. 0.97

00:21:20.000 And then we see this drama pop up, which is the distraction, in my opinion, on purpose, to get us off topic, to focus on stupid drama that doesn't mean anything.

00:21:29.000 Well, and it's funny because they go on and on about how it was Trump who riled up these tensions, and I think it was even claimed that Ted Cruz was responsible. 0.82

00:21:36.000 AOC insinuated that earlier.

00:21:38.000 That's what he said.

00:21:39.000 AOC said that, yeah.

00:21:40.000 Yeah, which is so insane.

00:21:42.000 And their whole argument is, well, they propagated misinformation that All right, well, what about all the lies the media told to get us into these conflicts in the Middle East?

00:21:55.000 How many people have died as a result of that?

00:21:57.000 And how many of them are on camera?

00:21:58.000 How many of them are we talking to?

00:21:59.000 Do you see the New York Times call for a reality czar?

00:22:02.000 A reality czar?

00:22:03.000 Yes.

00:22:04.000 Oh, but that's already what they are, isn't it?

00:22:06.000 But I'm sorry, they said a task force.

00:22:08.000 So that would be more like a Ministry of Truth.

00:22:11.000 They're talking about a cross-agency of experts coming together to tackle disinformation and quote, domestic extremism.

00:22:19.000 Yeah, Luke, it's called a Ministry of Truth.

00:22:20.000 Yeah, the realities are.

00:22:22.000 But that's not even the bigger story here.

00:22:25.000 The person who called for it, the New York Times, officially called for this with their article by Kevin Rose saying that this is a good idea and that this is needed.

00:22:33.000 Where have we come where we have the New York Times of all ... publications the publication that by the way told the ... American people that there was weapons of mass destruction ... in Iraq they were the first ones to sell that lie to the ... American people and now they're telling us we need a ... ministry of truth we need a realities are we need to have ... control of information that they're going to be working ... with tech platforms on along with the government making ... sure that information is of course held in the hands of the ...

00:23:04.000 Here's my favorite part.

00:23:05.000 So wait, we have the article from the New York Times.

00:23:07.000 It says a point of realities are several experts I spoke with recommend the Biden

00:23:11.000 administration put together a cross agency task force to tackle disinformation and domestic

00:23:16.000 extremism, which would be led by something like a realities are. It sounds a little dystopian,

00:23:22.000 I'll grant but let's hear them out. No, no, no, no, no.

00:23:26.000 We don't hear them out.

00:23:27.000 It's like a guy coming and being like, we would like to have a camp set up where you can take people who believe bad things and are causing problems to place them for a certain period of time and then maybe teach them things to change the disinformation.

00:23:40.000 That way they're no longer a threat to society.

00:23:42.000 And I know, I know it sounds bad, but hear me out.

00:23:46.000 No, I'm not going to hear you out.

00:23:48.000 We don't want a ministry of truth in this country.

00:23:50.000 I'm sorry.

00:23:51.000 The news publication that lied to us and led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people meaninglessly that led to a migrant crisis is not going to be lecturing me about how truth needs to be controlled by central forces in the government.

00:24:04.000 What they're talking about here is essentially the tech platforms working with experts from agencies all around the United States government to fight conspiracy theories.

00:24:13.000 They're the biggest pushers of conspiracy theories.

00:24:16.000 100%.

00:24:16.000 And it's just a slap in the face.

00:24:18.000 That's one out of thousands of other examples we can make.

00:24:22.000 And with the New York Times, it goes so much further back.

00:24:23.000 We were talking about this on the show, I think the last time I was here, and how the Holodomor was covered up by the New York Times.

00:24:29.000 Their journalist, Janine, won the Pulitzer Prize for covering it.

00:24:33.000 Amazing!

00:24:34.000 And so, yeah, the press has always been horrible, and yeah, the idea that they would talk about conspiracy theories when they just spent the last three years claiming without any evidence that the President of the United States was a Russian asset who's being controlled by Putin.

00:24:44.000 They're bringing it back, baby!

00:24:45.000 They're bringing it back!

00:24:46.000 Are they trying to make the same argument?

00:24:47.000 Jimmy Kimmel is saying Wall Street vets, probably some Russian bots. 0.98

00:24:51.000 How, this is, like, don't they, they have to understand how ridiculous that is. 0.96

00:24:55.000 They do. 0.93

00:24:56.000 And they're laughing at us.

00:24:57.000 Look, here's the thing.

00:25:00.000 When you look at the media channels... Let me do this.

00:25:03.000 I'm going to do a segment throwback.

00:25:05.000 I'm going to show you this image.

00:25:06.000 We're going to drag the Young Turks. 1.00

00:25:08.000 No, Tim, I don't want to do that.

00:25:10.000 This is Michael Tracy.

00:25:12.000 He tweeted, LOL, if you are really this obsessed with my tweets, seek help. 0.92

00:25:16.000 And it is TYT Live, AOC's horrifying details of Capitol Riot offend pathetic Michael Tracy. 0.69

00:25:24.000 Who cares about Michael Tracy?

00:25:26.000 And I mean no disrespect.

00:25:28.000 I follow him.

00:25:29.000 I think he's a good journalist.

00:25:30.000 But he's not a politician who's doing anything.

00:25:34.000 He's a guy on Twitter.

00:25:34.000 He's a journalist.

00:25:35.000 This is ridiculous. 0.95

00:25:36.000 And so the point is, you look at how the media reacts to these stories. 0.96

00:25:42.000 That's what's acceptable.

00:25:44.000 That's the kind of news that they deem acceptable.

00:25:46.000 When there's a slow news day, don't try and make news, just focus on the Federal Reserve.

00:25:51.000 Break it apart.

00:25:52.000 Love it.

00:25:53.000 Some tell me they're not going to do that anytime soon, but man, do I wish.

00:25:56.000 I highly doubt that.

00:25:57.000 Tucker Carlson actually brought up the Federal Reserve and the larger economic impacts that they're having on society, which is really surprising seeing him say, hey, we should be focusing on the Fed, which was just quite mind-boggling.

00:26:07.000 When did he do this?

00:26:08.000 Yesterday.

00:26:08.000 Oh, good for him.

00:26:10.000 But again, other individuals in the mainline establishment media, their lies, they're harmful and they're amplified and they're promoted with rigged algorithms that of course have their insider buddies promoting them so you see them first and you have no other option even if you search for news and even independent news.

00:26:27.000 There was even a time where you typed in and searched for my news organization, you couldn't find it, you would get articles with the mainstream media bashing me. 0.69

00:26:35.000 So it's just absolutely ridiculous.

00:26:37.000 But another layer here we need to understand that's critically important is that the big tech social media companies, the technocrats, are really the ones in charge that are pushing a lot of this nonsense, that are controlling the conversation, controlling the narratives.

00:26:50.000 And this is why issues like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are being brought up.

00:26:54.000 And then dunking and criticizing and attacking individuals like Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald, Michael Tracy, all of them is No, no, no.

00:27:02.000 It does.

00:27:02.000 No, no, no.

00:27:02.000 coordinated because we have seen attacks on both of on on three of these

00:27:06.000 individuals in such a way that that really is perplexing because it

00:27:11.000 absolutely makes no sense

00:27:13.000 there's no rational sense to attack them from a logical perspective what did they

00:27:16.000 go to jimmy dover you mean from an honest perspective Yes.

00:27:20.000 Logically, it makes tons of sense.

00:27:21.000 Michael Tracy, Glenn Greenwald, Jimmy Dore are all rather left-wing individuals.

00:27:25.000 I don't necessarily think it's fair to say Michael Tracy is left-wing, because I don't think he tweets about supporting left-wing policy.

00:27:30.000 He's just heterodox.

00:27:32.000 And Glenn Greenwald actually is fairly progressive, and Jimmy Dore is definitely on the left.

00:27:36.000 Yeah.

00:27:37.000 When they challenge the machine in the establishment, it's very difficult.

00:27:40.000 Listen.

00:27:41.000 When we saw Donald Trump as president, you had one side hate Donald Trump.

00:27:46.000 And this is the point I was going to bring up with the Young Turks. 1.00

00:27:48.000 Think about the people who watch the Young Turks and are sitting there going like, oh, Michael Tracy, like he's so dumb, like, whoa, so stupid. 0.99

00:27:56.000 These people are, with all due respect, not What's the right word I want to say without calling them a disparaging term? 0.99

00:28:05.000 There's different tiers of individuals.

00:28:08.000 There's those that would prefer to listen to some like hardcore, boring... Seven men from Tajikistan were arrested today.

00:28:16.000 It's like very straightforward news.

00:28:18.000 Then you get people who will watch this more conversational, but a little higher level.

00:28:21.000 And you get people who are like, I want to hear about AOC yelling at Michael Tracy.

00:28:24.000 And so they watch that.

00:28:26.000 When you're trying to tell people about what's going on, and when you're trying to convince people of policy, but you have half this country that just mindlessly follows along these ridiculous narratives, how do you convince them to make better moves that will help themselves?

00:28:40.000 It's very, very difficult.

00:28:41.000 So what happens is, you get people who might begrudgingly vote for Trump.

00:28:44.000 Why?

00:28:44.000 Critical race theory is bad.

00:28:45.000 For instance, James Lindsay is a good example.

00:28:47.000 He's a left-wing guy.

00:28:48.000 He challenges the system.

00:28:50.000 He says, I'm going to vote for Trump because, you know, Trump's better for these reasons.

00:28:53.000 Joe Biden is the establishment who's going to do everything that the left hates and everything the right hates combined and bring it all together.

00:29:01.000 You end up with this very difficult scenario.

00:29:04.000 But in the media, it's really easy to split the left and the right.

00:29:09.000 You got people who supported Trump.

00:29:10.000 Well, tell everybody Orange Man is bad.

00:29:12.000 Most of these people who watch like the Young Turks and just want to hear the drama will believe it.

00:29:16.000 What happens when you get Wall Street?

00:29:18.000 When you get Wall Street bets?

00:29:19.000 Oh boy.

00:29:19.000 When you get GameStop?

00:29:21.000 Well, now all of a sudden these people who have been told over and over again by the likes of the Young Turk that Wall Street bad, well, you can't just change their mind now and say Wall Street good.

00:29:30.000 So what do they do?

00:29:31.000 Well, they distract.

00:29:32.000 They try and shift the focus away.

00:29:34.000 They bring up AOC.

00:29:35.000 They want a reality czar to make sure that you're not thinking about the wrong thing.

00:29:40.000 There was one article in The Nation Where they said that Wall Street bets, like Trumpism and QAnon, you see what they try and do.

00:29:49.000 When they can't give you a dividing line on Trump because half the country hates Trump, they try and shift the narrative and give you tabloid drama.

00:29:56.000 Well, it's hilarious, though, because I think a lot of people on the left are willing to see this, with this situation.

00:30:00.000 Now, the media might have screwed themselves here, at least to some extent, because there are a number of people on the left, and you look at, like, Reddit.

00:30:06.000 Reddit is often pretty left-leaning politically, and so when they see themselves being associated with white supremacists, or with Donald Trump, because they're upsetting people on Wall Street, they might start to think, maybe these terms don't actually mean anything, because this is also something that The vast majority of people who have heard of are very much in favor of.

00:30:27.000 Like, most people who have seen the Wall Street Bet story, they think it's hilarious.

00:30:30.000 And so when you start telling them, well, actually the people who are disrupting the stock market and raising the price of the stock for GameStop and hurting this hedge fund are white supremacists, it sort of opens up their eyes and they think, oh, maybe conservatives are telling the truth when they say that word is just thrown around or that phrase is just thrown around and doesn't mean anything.

00:30:47.000 Well, you start to notice that if they're calling people who are having fun with Wall Street vets white supremacists, they might just be calling anyone that.

00:30:53.000 Exactly.

00:30:54.000 And that means that maybe you should rethink what you've been thinking about conservatives.

00:30:58.000 Maybe that's not what they're saying.

00:30:59.000 Maybe they're not telling you the truth.

00:31:01.000 100%.

00:31:01.000 And they've overplayed their hand.

00:31:02.000 And this is what they did with the word racist.

00:31:04.000 They almost never say racist anymore.

00:31:05.000 They always say white supremacist.

00:31:06.000 Because after the 2016 election, they realized that it was not effective anymore.

00:31:10.000 And so Trump won despite the fact that he was called racist all the time.

00:31:13.000 So they said, let's switch to a heavier term.

00:31:15.000 Let's be even more explicit. 0.70

00:31:16.000 Let's call them white supremacists.

00:31:17.000 And so they started doing that.

00:31:19.000 And now they're calling Redditors who are buying stock white supremacists.

00:31:23.000 So they've ruined that term for themselves too.

00:31:25.000 I don't know what the next one's going to be.

00:31:26.000 We saw Financial Times say that some of these people were alt-right, and then they had to retract that and be like, okay, that's not true.

00:31:33.000 Too much.

00:31:34.000 Too much!

00:31:34.000 Now they're just going for it.

00:31:35.000 Now they're like, okay, look, we need to manipulate people.

00:31:39.000 And the scary thing is, that's why I mentioned the Young Turks. 0.99

00:31:42.000 That's why I mentioned the Michael Tracy story.

00:31:44.000 There are people who will just literally believe whatever the media puts out.

00:31:48.000 That's it.

00:31:49.000 And they'll follow whatever story the media tells them to follow.

00:31:52.000 And then you have the grifter lefties on YouTube who'll be like, Slay Queen! 1.00

00:31:55.000 Woo! 0.99

00:31:56.000 And it's like, weren't you just mad at Wall Street?

00:31:58.000 Like, without naming this particular individual, you have one guy who's like, Antifa is good, you know?

00:32:04.000 And they're destroying small businesses and whatever, but it's because they're fighting the machine.

00:32:08.000 Then 25,000 troops get deployed to DC, and they literally lock down the entire city in a military occupation.

00:32:15.000 And the same guy who was cheering on Antifa goes, this is a good thing!

00:32:18.000 I'm in favor of the military lockdown.

00:32:20.000 I'm like, dude, do you have any real opinions?

00:32:23.000 You're just supporting whatever it is the right doesn't like.

00:32:26.000 I think the problem I have with this conversation is that we're like, okay, this fire is burning and destroying things.

00:32:33.000 And see, I'm scooping fuel into the fire right now.

00:32:37.000 We're going to scoop some fuel into this fire by talking about it.

00:32:39.000 No, you're wrong.

00:32:40.000 That's what we're doing right now.

00:32:41.000 We're spraying water on it.

00:32:42.000 But you're saying, look, having this conversation is scooping fuel in just so you know, because we're becoming the media that's talking about it.

00:32:49.000 You're wrong.

00:32:50.000 We're spraying water on it right now.

00:32:53.000 I wholeheartedly disagree. 0.98

00:32:54.000 When we bring this crap up and go talk about this junk, we're propelling it, but we're acknowledging that that is what we're doing. 0.97

00:33:02.000 So when we're showing people this, if you're falling for this and you're talking about it, you're fueling it. 0.98

00:33:09.000 So when we literally do a segment saying, don't fall for the tricks of the media and the manipulation and focus on what matters, we're making it worse, you're saying?

00:33:16.000 Yes, we're like, don't fall for this, and we're doing it.

00:33:19.000 What are we doing?

00:33:19.000 We're fueling the fire.

00:33:20.000 What fire?

00:33:21.000 What are you talking about? 0.99

00:33:22.000 The fire of Michael Tracy and media talking crap. 0.86

00:33:23.000 We're specifically saying this is the media's manipulation and we're focusing on the New York Times calling for a Biden realities are to manipulate what you can know. 0.76

00:33:31.000 If we don't talk about that and people don't know they're doing it, then they'll get away with it.

00:33:36.000 We're not talking about AOC.

00:33:38.000 We're criticizing the Young Turks for doing this.

00:33:40.000 This is how the fire is fueled.

00:33:41.000 That's what we're doing right now.

00:33:42.000 And we're doing it and we're showing them this is how it's done.

00:33:45.000 The fire is when you get left-wing channels like the Young Turks creating content that shifts your focus away from high-level issues like media manipulation and hedge fund manipulation and tells you to pay attention to some dude on Twitter.

00:34:00.000 What we're doing is we're calling that out a step back and saying, don't let the media manipulate you, so you need to pay attention to Wall Street, you need to pay attention to the head funds, and don't let them divide us.

00:34:10.000 I'm not going to sit here and rag on AOC because she was scared.

00:34:13.000 I respect her telling her story.

00:34:15.000 I understand why she was scared.

00:34:16.000 I think what she does when she promotes this stuff is bad politically because she's essentially just using Whether she knows it or not, these PR tactics to shift the narrative onto her to build up more, you know, press attention and things like that. 0.99

00:34:27.000 And I fully recognize that we give her attention when we talk about it.

00:34:29.000 I'm not super worried about that.

00:34:31.000 My issue is, they want us fighting.

00:34:33.000 They want us mad at AOC.

00:34:35.000 They want us yelling at her.

00:34:36.000 No, I would like her to actually tweet more about Wall Street and hedge funds.

00:34:39.000 I respected that.

00:34:40.000 I praise that.

00:34:41.000 Rashida Tlaib as well.

00:34:43.000 I don't want them to divide us, and I think it's important that we sit here and say, look what the New York Times is now saying.

00:34:49.000 Biden should have a reality czar, a task force, to stop disinformation.

00:34:53.000 But we're calling them out for being the liars.

00:34:56.000 It makes me think, have you ever read 1984?

00:34:57.000 It's the Orwell book.

00:35:01.000 There's a point, yeah, the Ministry of Truth is like this reality czar.

00:35:03.000 In the book, they have this hour of hate for every day.

00:35:06.000 They have everybody sits in front of the TV for an hour and just thinks about hate.

00:35:10.000 And that's like what this stuff is.

00:35:12.000 They're, you know, they're just trying to drive people to hate.

00:35:14.000 I think it can be.

00:35:15.000 I would disagree.

00:35:16.000 I would disagree because I think that what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is doing is very clever and very cynical.

00:35:22.000 And something that no one has really touched on is the fact that she's talking about cops.

00:35:26.000 She's rolling it into her own rhetoric.

00:35:28.000 And she's talking about how the cop made her feel unsafe.

00:35:31.000 That's a very clever way of bringing your ideas into the conversation and bringing emotion in with it as well.

00:35:37.000 You were terrified.

00:35:38.000 It was a cop.

00:35:38.000 You didn't know if you were gonna be like poor George Floyd or whoever has been most recently assaulted by a policeman.

00:35:44.000 You keep bringing up constantly.

00:35:46.000 I think it's fair to disagree with AOC, but like I mentioned earlier, she does this Instagram thing and I'm kind of like, okay, that's fine.

00:35:55.000 I understand her story, okay.

00:35:57.000 But what's happening now is Rolling Stone, Newsweek, Young Turks, etc.

00:36:02.000 are putting this into everyone's face.

00:36:04.000 That's fire.

00:36:05.000 We are telling you don't get distracted by the drama.

00:36:08.000 Don't let the manipulation and the low-level, you know, conversations dominate your minds.

00:36:14.000 So what we're doing now is we're discussing the idea of media manipulation, a ministry of truth realities are.

00:36:19.000 Because, in my opinion, if they did have a realities are, first of all, that's psychotic.

00:36:25.000 It's insane.

00:36:25.000 Horrible.

00:36:26.000 But their goal would be to make sure we don't talk about these conversations.

00:36:30.000 We just had Luke calling out the human rights abuses in Yemen.

00:36:35.000 We're talking about voting for war and these emotionally manipulative tactics.

00:36:41.000 They don't want us talking about it.

00:36:43.000 The New York Times, the politicians, they want us distracted.

00:36:47.000 They want to take a story AOC put out that has no bearing on my life or anyone else's and make it a major news story so we stop talking about hedge funds and Wall Street and the short sellers, which we're talking about now.

00:37:00.000 That's the point of this segment.

00:37:01.000 That's the point of doing things like this.

00:37:02.000 Have you heard that statement, that phrase by Marshall McLuhan?

00:37:05.000 It says, the medium is the message.

00:37:07.000 And in that sense, if we How does that make sense?

00:37:10.000 two hours talking about the problems in the media, we've actually become the problem in the media.

00:37:16.000 How does that make sense?

00:37:16.000 Because we're stooping to that level.

00:37:19.000 We're slinging, we're acknowledging the mud, but in order to do that, we have to get in the mud.

00:37:24.000 So it's good to talk about it and to point it out, but to revel in it is when it becomes an issue.

00:37:29.000 Like if we spent, we've already spent 40 minutes talking about it.

00:37:32.000 So we have two different issues.

00:37:33.000 First, we addressed the tabloid drama nonsense and how it distracted.

00:37:37.000 We shifted into the New York Times wanting to have a reality czar and what that means for the country.

00:37:41.000 And so the way I see it is, look, you've got a problem.

00:37:43.000 If you want to put a fire out and save the people from the fire, you gotta run into a burning building.

00:37:48.000 So we could choose not to talk about any of this and let it fester and grow and get worse.

00:37:52.000 Or we can use our platform to challenge it and say, this is, this is BS and we have to call it out to address it as a problem.

00:37:59.000 And then quite literally what we're doing is the solution.

00:38:02.000 Letting people see and hear our ideas.

00:38:05.000 And if they agree with us and those ideas propagate.

00:38:08.000 you've changed my mind all there you go

00:38:12.000 you know that i i i have to say that i've never seen that fired up about

00:38:14.000 anything on the podcast actually really appreciate you have seen that arguments

00:38:17.000 we've had good time known i guess not enough of them they're out there he got fired up those i i i haven't seen

00:38:23.000 that for me and immediately to double-edged swords and i had to go i hear

00:38:26.000 you have fair it's it's it look at the double-edged sword right so

00:38:29.000 i've i've done numerous videos reading on democrats are recognizing that

00:38:34.000 it's it's it's convenient for the establishment to have the partisan

00:38:37.000 divide but how do you and this is why i love the game stop story

00:38:41.000 how are you supposed to point out that it typically is democrats causing the

00:38:46.000 Don't get me wrong, Republicans to a great degree causing problems as well.

00:38:49.000 Never!

00:38:50.000 There's just slightly more Republicans than Democrats who are doing better, but they're all just so awful, right?

00:38:56.000 So when you have Donald Trump and his critics are so insane that you're like, this is not legitimate criticism of a president, and you need to call it out.

00:39:05.000 I get emails from people all the time saying, how do I convince my family members that the media is lying to them?

00:39:11.000 And I'm like, show them the truth.

00:39:13.000 And they're like, yeah, but they don't believe it.

00:39:14.000 They don't want to watch the news.

00:39:16.000 They don't want, when I send them a link saying, here's the real video of Donald Trump, they say, I'm not watching that.

00:39:21.000 And now it's really, really simple.

00:39:23.000 Show them reddit.com and then google search reddit silver and then what you see is on google all of these news stories you know dozens hundreds saying reddit says buy silver and then show them reddit.com do not buy silver it's there the veil has been shattered now we're getting this tabloid drama trying desperately to shift the narrative away to something unfalsifiable This story about AOC and Michael Tracy is a really good example of an excellent manipulation tactic.

00:39:53.000 There's no right or wrong answer.

00:39:55.000 It is a tribal agreement or disagreement.

00:39:57.000 Do you not like AOC?

00:39:58.000 Do you like AOC?

00:39:59.000 Therefore, there's no way to look at that story and call it fake news.

00:40:02.000 They've been able to now attempt this media attack to trick boomers, for the most part, into buying silver when Reddit was saying, don't do it.

00:40:10.000 When people started to see how they were lying and manipulating, they said, go for an emotionally-driven headline that will dominate the press and manipulate people into reading news that can't be right or wrong.

00:40:20.000 100%.

00:40:20.000 Yeah, and that's what's so insidious.

00:40:22.000 It's the stories that aren't fake, like you said.

00:40:24.000 This is something that actually happened to us.

00:40:26.000 He's actually talking about this.

00:40:27.000 But there is something we're being distracted from.

00:40:30.000 The easiest way, the most important takeaway from the whole thing is the story isn't true or false.

00:40:37.000 And that's what's important for them.

00:40:39.000 Get everybody emotionally charged up, demanding their right, but it's impossible because it's an opinion.

00:40:45.000 Well, I can tell you one thing that's true, or one thing that's false.

00:40:48.000 Reddit did not say buy silver, and the media did lie when they claimed Reddit did.

00:40:53.000 That is the red pill.

00:40:56.000 Like, that is a red pill that you can literally just hand to somebody, and it like dissolves in their skin.

00:41:02.000 They don't even gotta put it in their mouth.

00:41:03.000 You just show them these two things, and they're gonna be like, that's insane.

00:41:07.000 So immediately what happens is they run full speed and smack it out of your hand, because they don't want you to show people what's actually going on.

00:41:14.000 That's the point of these narratives.

00:41:15.000 That's why the story was trending on Twitter.

00:41:18.000 And it's not necessarily because, like, I think anyone conspired to make it happen.

00:41:22.000 What I think happens, typically, is you've got PR people who look for opportunities to shift the narrative.

00:41:26.000 I don't think anybody had a meeting and they were like, AOC, can you do a video and do this?

00:41:30.000 And then we're gonna try and, you know, highlight some individual... What happened was, she told the story, a bunch of special interests who wanted to shift the narrative saw the opportunity and used their PR tactics to do so.

00:41:40.000 You know, I got a little distracted by Jake Paul fighting Ben Askren.

00:41:43.000 That's going to happen in the next six days.

00:41:46.000 Off of a sidetrack there, just to add up to your point here, we also have to understand

00:41:50.000 the mainstream media has been incentivized ever since Donald Trump to understand that

00:41:55.000 smash smash is good.

00:41:57.000 It creates more hits, it creates more views, it creates more advertisement revenue for

00:42:02.000 them.

00:42:04.000 And when you're building a huge hammer that is just meant to destroy, what are you going to do when Donald Trump, your biggest nail, is gone?

00:42:11.000 Well, you're going to go after all the other nails.

00:42:14.000 Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald, Michael Tracy, who are supposedly on your side, but they're not going along with the agenda.

00:42:20.000 They're not going along with the special interest.

00:42:22.000 They're not going along with, of course, the big money that, of course, want a specific agenda done.

00:42:28.000 They're the ones that are standing in the way of it, and of course the mainstream media, what are they going to do?

00:42:33.000 Look at their coverage.

00:42:34.000 I think it was The Hill that wrote an article today about how Michelle Obama got some garden vegetables from Jill Biden.

00:42:41.000 Articles like that are not going to sell.

00:42:43.000 They're not going to get clicks.

00:42:44.000 No one gives a damn about their propaganda puff piece about glorifying the first ladies of this country. 1.00

00:42:51.000 What's going to get clicks is drama, is fighting smash smash smash and that's exactly what they're

00:42:57.000 doing and now they're going after anyone that stands in their way

00:43:00.000 and it's not just going to be Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald, Michael Tracy, it's

00:43:04.000 gonna be anyone. Anyone who even dares to peep in the wrong

00:43:07.000 direction against the establishment's train and their agenda that

00:43:11.000 they want to shove down your throat. 0.55

00:43:12.000 I think the Young Turks is one of the greatest assets for the establishment because they come off as anti-establishment

00:43:20.000 but boy do they love and help the establishment. Like when

00:43:24.000 Jimmy Dore was saying force the vote on Medicare for All, use the leverage

00:43:28.000 the progressives have against the establishment, you know, corporate

00:43:32.000 Democrats, the Young Turks went after him.

00:43:35.000 Insulted him, derided him, and said it's not the time, and defended the establishment while pretending they weren't really defending the establishment.

00:43:43.000 Saying, oh no, Jimmy Dore's gonna help the Republicans win.

00:43:46.000 See, Jimmy isn't going with the establishment narrative.

00:43:50.000 The Young Turks are.

00:43:52.000 So, surprise, surprise, they do a drama story.

00:43:55.000 They ran some second about me being ugly, I guess.

00:43:58.000 I'm like, really impressed with your news coverage here, guys.

00:44:00.000 That's good journalism right there.

00:44:01.000 Listen.

00:44:03.000 Does it matter?

00:44:04.000 I'll tell you what matters.

00:44:06.000 Media manipulation is tricking you into losing focus, and they're taking away from you.

00:44:11.000 They're taking away your ability to understand the world.

00:44:14.000 When you see these low-brow conversations about nonsense, you are being hurt.

00:44:19.000 When you hear things like this, and hopefully they're... I'm assuming most of the people listening already know a lot of this.

00:44:25.000 They understand.

00:44:26.000 That's why they're watching this show in the first place.

00:44:28.000 But there are a lot of people who probably don't.

00:44:30.000 I am, I am, you know, look, I've brought up the GameStop silver thing so many times, because you cannot, you cannot disprove.

00:44:37.000 It is the perfect red pill, period. 0.93

00:44:39.000 You could say, oh, they lied about Donald Trump here, and people would be like, oh, you're crazy, you just love Trump. 0.72

00:44:44.000 They hate Trump so much, they won't listen. 1.00

00:44:46.000 You could show them the video ABC did where they manipulated, they zoomed in so you didn't see Shinzo Abe dump the food in, and then they show Trump doing it and claim, look at Trump, he's a moron. 0.98

00:44:55.000 So, you can try and show them the full video of the Charlottesville comments Trump made, the very fine people hoax, but they don't want to believe it. 0.99

00:45:03.000 They hate Trump.

00:45:04.000 Well, who likes Wall Street?

00:45:06.000 Nobody.

00:45:07.000 Boom! 0.99

00:45:08.000 Drop the red pill.

00:45:09.000 Give it to people and show them what the media has been doing to them.

00:45:12.000 So, Tim, when you talk about unfalsifiable, do you think this has to do with the media's shift toward turning opinion into news?

00:45:18.000 Because I feel like every time you read a news article, it's not actually news.

00:45:21.000 It's all opinion.

00:45:22.000 It's all opinion.

00:45:23.000 All the time.

00:45:23.000 All unfalsifiable.

00:45:24.000 And they call it an analysis now.

00:45:26.000 To be fair, what I do is much the same.

00:45:28.000 You know what I mean?

00:45:29.000 It's my opinion and my take on things.

00:45:31.000 Yeah, but do your homework.

00:45:32.000 But I guess it's true, I try and fact check everything, but I guess the main difference is my opinions aren't particularly strong, and I avoid framing devices for the most part.

00:45:40.000 So, actually, that's probably not fair to say.

00:45:42.000 I probably frame things the way I do, you know, in a similar way, but I'm just not on anyone's side for the most part.

00:45:49.000 Well, we all have a bias and it's about, you know, being acknowledged, acknowledging that bias.

00:45:55.000 Like I obviously have some experiences that makes me distrust the state and the government, especially after looking at a lot of history and having some personal experiences, but it's about admitting it.

00:46:05.000 And being honest with it having a conversation that's actually genuine not scripted trying to push an agenda over the truth so I think that's the biggest difference that we see from you know let's just say us compared to of course Jimmy Kimball who's given a line about Russia being involved somehow in this red scandal and just.

00:46:25.000 Blanket and Lee soullessly reading it to the American ... viewer like it's truth when we know it's just scripted ... there's a lot of big money behind it and there's also a ... huge agenda behind it that doesn't serve the American ... people is does the exact opposite of that it screws them over.

00:46:41.000 Let's talk about Joe Biden.

00:46:42.000 Let's now.

00:46:43.000 I got hairy legs.

00:46:45.000 Yes, he does.

00:46:46.000 Yes, you do, Joe.

00:46:47.000 And what does he say?

00:46:49.000 His hair shines?

00:46:49.000 It shines when you rub your hand down it.

00:46:53.000 I am going to have so much fun over the next four years.

00:46:54.000 You know what I'm saying?

00:46:56.000 I'm really sad.

00:46:57.000 And I discussed this right after the election.

00:47:01.000 I'm horribly sad because millions more unborn children will likely die than would have otherwise, and thousands more people in the Middle East.

00:47:09.000 This is going to be a horrible, horrible presidency.

00:47:12.000 So I'm not happy about it, but he's certainly an interesting target to go after.

00:47:16.000 And I think he sort of exposes a lot of the problems with the system when you look at the fact that the dominant media culture was worshipping this man.

00:47:22.000 That's also sort of a red pill moment because a lot of progressives don't like him.

00:47:25.000 They feel Bernie Sanders was robbed.

00:47:28.000 And, uh, they don't like Kamala Harris.

00:47:29.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:47:30.000 And when you look at Kamala Harris too, they don't like her either.

00:47:34.000 And so it's getting to the point where the people they prop up and make into idols are so universally disliked that that in and of itself is red-pilling the public.

00:47:43.000 Yeah, I've got a sense of relief right now that Trump's not in office because of the drama and distractions that he would cause with news articles.

00:47:54.000 And now it's gone.

00:47:55.000 There's nothing else to look at.

00:47:56.000 So we're looking at GameStop.

00:47:57.000 We're looking at the economy.

00:47:59.000 But they're trying to shift it back.

00:48:01.000 I know.

00:48:01.000 They want the drama back.

00:48:02.000 But still, it's like 10% of what it was three weeks ago.

00:48:07.000 Like, I haven't had to look at Trump's face in like three... I see his face every couple days.

00:48:11.000 Someone will message me a picture of Trump.

00:48:12.000 I'm like, dude, that guy is not relevant right now.

00:48:15.000 He really never was.

00:48:16.000 He was the president, but he's not who he should be.

00:48:19.000 He was pretty relevant.

00:48:21.000 Yeah, that's relevant.

00:48:23.000 The system is the relevancy, and the people that are in these positions are coming and going.

00:48:29.000 It's that economy, that messed up economy.

00:48:32.000 Look, look, look.

00:48:34.000 I would say, you know, with Trump's tweets, it really made sure the spotlight was always on Trump.

00:48:40.000 And it was bad for him in a lot of ways.

00:48:42.000 Like, sometimes it was like, there were a few things if he just didn't tweet, he would have, you know... If he was banned sooner, he might have gotten re-elected.

00:48:49.000 Yeah, no joke, no joke.

00:48:51.000 Because he kind of hurt himself in some of these major stories with the things he was tweeting about, you know, and just generating more news.

00:48:56.000 If Trump didn't say anything and went radio silent for a month, the media would have starved to death.

00:49:02.000 Like a parasite, just like, you know, no longer, like a leech falling off and then just like, withering away. 0.90

00:49:07.000 But he kept them fed, man.

00:49:09.000 CNN's ratings dropped 44% the week that Trump left office.

00:49:13.000 Yeah.

00:49:14.000 They were just the Trump network.

00:49:15.000 Yep.

00:49:16.000 That was it.

00:49:16.000 That's all they talked about.

00:49:17.000 And they weren't doing well before he came along either.

00:49:19.000 It's not as if they've been doing great and then Trump left office and now they're down.

00:49:22.000 It's like they were doing horribly, then Trump was elected, and then they were doing pretty well, and now he's gone and they've got nothing.

00:49:27.000 Look at this story.

00:49:28.000 This is from Variety.

00:49:29.000 Is that what you were citing?

00:49:29.000 Yes.

00:49:30.000 CNN primetime ratings fall back to earth in first post-Trump week.

00:49:34.000 Back to earth, huh?

00:49:35.000 It's over!

00:49:37.000 You know, look, I obviously, I voted for Donald Trump and would have preferred him greatly to Joe Biden, but there is a bit of me that's relieved that without Trump, listen, A good analogy is that Trump was a very large man that provided the life force for the energy vampires that were the mainstream media.

00:49:57.000 Just sucking all of that energy.

00:49:59.000 It's near infinite.

00:50:00.000 Donald Trump's dragon energy sustained the media for years.

00:50:04.000 They were collapsing before Trump.

00:50:06.000 The CEO of Vice said there was going to be a bloodbath in digital media.

00:50:09.000 And it didn't happen.

00:50:10.000 The layoffs reversed because Donald Trump came along and he just exuded media energy.

00:50:16.000 And they all started like little gremlins crawling towards it and then absorbing the energy.

00:50:21.000 And now Trump is gone and they're all like hissing and chasing after people.

00:50:25.000 It's kind of like when the people, you know, the COVID lockdown in New York and the rats came out of the ground and started chasing people because they're desperate and hungry and they're fighting squirrels and stuff.

00:50:33.000 It's happening now.

00:50:35.000 The president of CNN is apparently looking at other jobs.

00:50:38.000 Jim Acosta, he was transferred out of the White House and they're putting in that other woman.

00:50:43.000 It's over.

00:50:44.000 It's done.

00:50:44.000 His behavior on Twitter created an entire genre of jobs.

00:50:47.000 The Trump reply guy.

00:50:49.000 Exactly.

00:50:49.000 What are they doing now?

00:50:51.000 What are the Trump reply guys going to do?

00:50:52.000 Donald Trump gave us a gift.

00:50:54.000 You know what he did?

00:50:54.000 What?

00:50:55.000 It's kind of like the media are these energy vampires that look for insane drama to manipulate.

00:51:02.000 And they're like lurking in the shadows, jumping out and writing fake news.

00:51:05.000 And they were smearing people like Jordan Peterson in that famous interview.

00:51:08.000 So what you're saying is, and it went viral because people are like, this is nuts, but the vampires were leeching off of people.

00:51:14.000 Donald Trump stepped in Oh, yeah.

00:51:16.000 And like Goku going Super Saiyan went, ah, and then energy burst off of his body and

00:51:21.000 drew all of the attention to himself.

00:51:24.000 Now these people have forgotten how to sustain themselves.

00:51:28.000 The media outlets built, as you mentioned, a genre or there's a reply guy, but the media

00:51:33.000 also created a genre reporting on Trump because of that.

00:51:36.000 A lot of people shifted their normal beat.

00:51:39.000 A lot of news organizations fired certain journalists that covered real news and hired people just to cover Trump.

00:51:43.000 Then, when Trump ascended and vanished from sight, all of these people are left just desperate and hungry, and they don't know how to feed anymore.

00:51:52.000 Now we're going to see a glorious collapse, starting with CNN, whose ratings have fallen back to earth, they say.

00:51:58.000 Back to earth.

00:51:59.000 Well, Tim, that's your understanding of it. 0.99

00:52:00.000 For me, it was Trump just taking dumps and these rats eating it. 0.98

00:52:05.000 And now Trump's not taking any more dumps? 0.99

00:52:07.000 I think Ian would agree with that one. 0.98

00:52:09.000 And now the rats are going hungry and they're gonna start eating their own very soon. 0.99

00:52:15.000 It was Donald Trump taking a dump and then the flies landing on us. 0.98

00:52:20.000 Have we consulted with the truth czar on this?

00:52:22.000 this look at this they say uh... while january twenty one will

00:52:32.000 twenty twenty one will go down in the ratings record books for cnn

00:52:35.000 the last week of the month may offer a portent of what the post-trump era will

00:52:39.000 be like for the network In the first week of the Biden administration, the AT&T-owned news channel saw audiences that had been flooding into primetime recently drop precipitously.

00:52:49.000 Yeah.

00:52:49.000 from January 25th to 29th compared with the highs of the previous weeks.

00:52:53.000 Meanwhile, rival Fox News Channel saw its own ratings only dip slightly

00:52:56.000 after weeks of registering its own sharp declines. I wonder how MSNBC did.

00:53:01.000 Another network, they mentioned MSNBC, has also seen significant declines but

00:53:05.000 nowhere near as steep as what has hit CNN.

00:53:07.000 Variety intelligence platform analysis of the viewership data across two key

00:53:11.000 metrics, the target news demographic for people ages 25 to 54,

00:53:15.000 and the total audience watching shows that CNN ended the final week of January

00:53:18.000 with ratings dropping roughly 44 percent for total audience versus the prior week.

00:53:23.000 Oh Oh man, look at that.

00:53:27.000 That is massive.

00:53:29.000 Fox News dropped only 4.4% and at 9pm 5.98%.

00:53:33.000 Now Fox News at 8pm actually, it looks like they increased.

00:53:38.000 They're the only ones who actually went up.

00:53:40.000 That's Tucker.

00:53:41.000 8pm.

00:53:41.000 There you go, that's Tucker.

00:53:43.000 Exactly.

00:53:44.000 So we can see MSNBC is in massive decline, CNN is in massive decline because their ratings

00:53:49.000 were artificial.

00:53:50.000 It was a new genre, the Trump story, 24-7.

00:53:54.000 They turned The Apprentice into politics.

00:53:57.000 Exactly.

00:53:58.000 That's a good point.

00:53:59.000 Yeah.

00:53:59.000 Now that he's gone, all these- They're fired.

00:54:02.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:54:03.000 You guys ever see the movie Daybreakers?

00:54:05.000 I've quoted- I've mentioned this before too.

00:54:06.000 It's where everybody's basically turned into a vampire and there's very few humans left.

00:54:10.000 So the vampires have nothing to feed on. 0.60

00:54:12.000 And they all start fighting each other and turning into these horrible monsters.

00:54:16.000 There's a scene where there's a vampire and he's at a coffee stand.

00:54:18.000 And they put blood in the coffee, because you know, they're vampires.

00:54:20.000 And then she puts in a little bit and he goes, give me more blood.

00:54:23.000 And then she's like, I can't.

00:54:24.000 And he's like, give me more!

00:54:25.000 And then he attacks her.

00:54:26.000 That's what's happening with the media.

00:54:28.000 That's what's gonna happen next.

00:54:30.000 I've talked about it before.

00:54:31.000 If you thought the fake news was bad back then, wait until they're starved and hungry.

00:54:38.000 It's like, you know, you got a vampire, right?

00:54:41.000 He feeds when he feels like it.

00:54:43.000 But now, he hasn't fed in weeks.

00:54:45.000 He's gonna jump out of the shadows and latch onto anything and anyone.

00:54:48.000 Or a better analogy, I guess, is the rats in New York City.

00:54:51.000 Once the tourists are gone, the rats started coming out in packs and hunting squirrels and other random animals.

00:54:56.000 There's apparently like a video where like a pigeon and a rat were fighting because they're starving to death.

00:55:01.000 That's what's gonna happen to the news media. 0.94

00:55:03.000 So they're gonna write crazy things.

00:55:05.000 Like, just you wait and they start writing this crazy, crazy stuff.

00:55:07.000 It's gonna get more and more insane.

00:55:09.000 They're still writing about Donald Trump!

00:55:10.000 Yeah, I know.

00:55:11.000 They're still writing about Trump.

00:55:12.000 We were just talking about it.

00:55:13.000 They blame Wall Street bets on Trumpism.

00:55:15.000 Trumpism!

00:55:16.000 They're trying.

00:55:17.000 It is Trumpism.

00:55:18.000 That's what they're going to keep referring to now that he's gone. 1.00

00:55:20.000 They sure missed that Trump crap. 1.00

00:55:22.000 I mean, it's absolutely ridiculous. 1.00

00:55:23.000 They got addicted. 0.98

00:55:24.000 They got addicted.

00:55:25.000 I remember even before Donald Trump became president, there was a lot of discussion about the mainstream media dying.

00:55:31.000 But also there was a lot of conversation about it not just dying and going away, but it going more into the hands of Wall Street firms, which a lot of them are invested into the mainstream media, and also other billionaires.

00:55:41.000 So today we got the news that the Amazon CEO, Jeff Bezos, is stepping down.

00:55:46.000 And he's not really quitting or retiring.

00:55:48.000 He's just going to be refocusing Things like his satellite company things like his ... contracts with the US government but most ... importantly what I found surprising is he's going to be ... focusing on the Washington Post which essentially has ... been acting like his mouthpiece the mouthpiece of ... the billionaire class especially with all the crazy ... articles that we've been seeing from them I mean they ... call people who believe in guns white supremacist they ... call the the the Wall Street bets people what did they say ... that that that the hedge funds guys are the good guys ...

00:56:18.000 Every single talking point is like some kind of pompous elite douche-tard. 0.99

00:56:24.000 Family, friends, can I say?

00:56:25.000 I don't know.

00:56:26.000 Definitely.

00:56:26.000 Douche-flute!

00:56:27.000 Douche-flute! 0.99

00:56:29.000 That's having his pinky and lecturing you about how better and more important they are than you.

00:56:34.000 So when we look at the Washington Post, I think the mainstream media model is going to go more towards them.

00:56:40.000 More bastardized, more controlled by special interests.

00:56:43.000 It already is on such a massive level, it's only going We're going to get worse from here.

00:56:46.000 The Washington Post is the outlet that ran the article saying the hedge funds are the good guys.

00:56:50.000 Yes.

00:56:51.000 The little guy.

00:56:52.000 So what's really interesting is with the story of Wall Street bets is that I was reading, and fact check me on this one, but I was reading posts where they said because of the short sellers, GameStop struggled to have a quorum in their investors meeting because the people who were investing weren't showing up.

00:57:08.000 There were no people because they weren't legitimate investors.

00:57:12.000 and that was bankrupting the company was causing very serious problems

00:57:15.000 they'd have the shareholders meetings to talk about how the company pulls through

00:57:18.000 and they survive so they're effectively betting to destroy these companies and literally strangling

00:57:23.000 them out that's when we see the Washington Post

00:57:27.000 that's one of the good guys yeah Not those that are challenging that machine.

00:57:31.000 And that's Bezos.

00:57:32.000 And you're saying he's now going to go focus on the Washington Post?

00:57:34.000 Well, there was already a trend before.

00:57:36.000 Yeah, that's one of the things.

00:57:37.000 As he's stepping down from Amazon, he's going to be refocusing his efforts on one of them is going to be the Washington Post.

00:57:42.000 But even before Donald Trump, there was a lot of conversations about Wall Street getting involved in mainstream media and killing Any form of investigative journalism because it wasn't as profitable as, of course, it was the sensational, celebritard nonsense that they push on us, and that's essentially what they've become.

00:58:00.000 My friends, I am going to give you a very clippable moment.

00:58:04.000 I think YouTube can do it, but here's the clip.

00:58:07.000 Luke, you mentioned that Wall Street was destroying investigative journalism.

00:58:11.000 Sir, you are correct, and I'll break it down for you.

00:58:12.000 It's very simple.

00:58:13.000 If you go to an investor and say, I would like to start a media outlet that does investigative journalism, the investor says, okay, how much money do you need?

00:58:23.000 And they say, for the first year, we're looking at $500,000 to hire a small team of journalists and producers to research these stories and produce the content.

00:58:33.000 Wonderful.

00:58:33.000 Excellent.

00:58:34.000 What can I expect on my return?

00:58:36.000 Well, we don't know for sure because we have to do the investigation.

00:58:40.000 The investor then says, so you mean to tell me I can give you the money and I might get zero dollars back?

00:58:46.000 I might just lose 100% of my investment because you don't even know what's going to happen with your investigations?

00:58:52.000 That's correct, sir.

00:58:53.000 Why would I invest in that?

00:58:54.000 Meanwhile, another dude walks up and goes, yo, I'm going to write about Ocasio-Cortez and Michael Tracy.

00:59:00.000 It's going to cost me $50 to hire some 23-year-old. 0.97

00:59:03.000 Give me $5,000, I'll turn it into $50,000 overnight.

00:59:06.000 Or an intern for free.

00:59:08.000 Well, you can't do that anymore.

00:59:10.000 They can't do core functions.

00:59:11.000 I literally experienced this at these news outlets, these digital platforms.

00:59:15.000 I was there, and it was very, very simple.

00:59:18.000 I would like to do an investigation.

00:59:19.000 I need a hundred grand to do it.

00:59:20.000 No way are we going to do that.

00:59:22.000 Because I can get some 23-year-old at minimum wage to write about Ocasio-Cortez and Michael Tracy, and that's going to get me a million views and make me some real money.

00:59:32.000 So why would I invest in investigative journalism?

00:59:35.000 And that's the most important journalism we need.

00:59:37.000 People seeking out the corruption, exposing the corruption, and it's dangerous You could get killed.

00:59:44.000 You could have your life destroyed.

00:59:45.000 You could be framed for crimes.

00:59:46.000 They will do everything to destroy you if you truly were seeking to expose them.

00:59:49.000 Look how hard they go after Project Veritas.

00:59:51.000 Yeah.

00:59:52.000 Well, there's also a lot of liability.

00:59:53.000 I mean, me and you did investigative journalism.

00:59:55.000 A lot of times we put our lives on the line to do so.

00:59:57.000 A lot of times there's, you know, insurance companies involved in this and there's a lot of risk that You're going to have to be responsible for as a company.

01:00:06.000 So that's another reason why we are seeing the decline of any form of investigations and this new form of reactionary kind of bullcrap that is being incentivized.

01:00:15.000 And again, it could be because of the risk, it could be what you mentioned, but also another factor here, as I've been talking about, is the algorithms that promote the sensationalist garbage that, of course, give them money, give them clicks, give them ad revenue as well.

01:00:31.000 Yeah, so what do you guys think the solution is?

01:00:34.000 Um, giant meteor?

01:00:35.000 Just, you know, a comet ripping through the earth?

01:00:39.000 I gotta be honest, the problems would all be gone!

01:00:40.000 I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

01:00:41.000 We inspire people to subsidize investigative journalism.

01:00:45.000 Well, yeah, of course, but the question is, like, how do we do that?

01:00:47.000 How do we get people interested in paying for that? 0.52

01:00:49.000 Tim's doing it.

01:00:50.000 That's what Subverse is.

01:00:51.000 Well, first, I'll say that the problem is, when politics was hyper-partisan, because some people just hated Trump so much they wanted an outlet to watch and just revel in their hatred, And then you had people who loved Trump and hated the other side.

01:01:04.000 The culture war was in full swing.

01:01:06.000 Now we're going to see how the evolution takes place with Biden and the establishment in control.

01:01:10.000 It might open up the door for more reasonable investigative reporting.

01:01:13.000 But the outlets that did investigative reporting were almost entirely progressive.

01:01:18.000 And so then the stories they would investigate were almost exclusively framed anti-Trump, negative towards the right.

01:01:25.000 And it wasn't, in my opinion, getting to the core of our problems.

01:01:28.000 It would be like Donald Trump's got a golden toilet and we secretly got recording of him making his maid clean it or something.

01:01:33.000 And it's like I get it you don't like Trump. They did a ton of stories where they were good investigations

01:01:38.000 But kind of just over the top and just not the most important thing in the world like war for instance

01:01:44.000 But yeah, there were there were stories that you know journalists who do and have done great jobs covering

01:01:51.000 war and foreign policy the problem was People didn't want it

01:01:56.000 Even the investigative outlets that existed, that were non-profit, didn't want it.

01:01:58.000 So the issue now is, if we have non-profit investigative outlets, they're mission-driven.

01:02:04.000 They're non-profit, so what's their mission?

01:02:06.000 You can look at Project Veritas.

01:02:08.000 I think it's fair to say they're conservative.

01:02:12.000 That's the easiest way to explain.

01:02:14.000 No.

01:02:15.000 They're just really radical.

01:02:18.000 I'll put it this way.

01:02:20.000 I think it's fair to say that James O'Keefe is a conservative.

01:02:23.000 But the outlet itself targets powerful institutions and seeks out corruption.

01:02:28.000 So when they go after Google, I love this criticism of Veritas.

01:02:31.000 They say they're conservatives who target left-wing organizations to make them look bad.

01:02:35.000 When I heard that the first time, I was like, so when they did the story on Google, Google's a left-wing institution?

01:02:40.000 No, no, wait, wait, wait, we don't mean that, we don't mean that.

01:02:42.000 Ah, you gotcha.

01:02:43.000 So, look, I'm a fan of Veritas.

01:02:45.000 I'm pointing out that even Veritas has their perspective and they have certain issues they think are more important they will cover.

01:02:52.000 So the issue is, I suppose, I don't think you're gonna make money on investigative journalism for the most part.

01:02:58.000 I think you can create maybe a subscription model and then have the content sustained that way, but it's probably gonna rely on people who want to support it Yeah, the purpose of it was never to make money.

01:03:09.000 It was to expose corruption and do, you know, make and better society.

01:03:15.000 It was always marketing.

01:03:15.000 This is what I... No, this is true.

01:03:17.000 The goal... Not real investigation.

01:03:19.000 Yes, it was.

01:03:19.000 You're usually doing it for a purpose.

01:03:21.000 News organizations would have investigative journalism because they know a sensational story on the cover would generate positive press attention for their paper.

01:03:29.000 So, back in the day, if you did a story that was like, breaking, big company is corrupt, and they put it on the front page, they would sell the most papers, and that would boost their, hey look, our circulation's huge, you gotta pay more for ads now, and we're getting the circulation prices.

01:03:43.000 Today, the easiest way to get traffic is not going to be a big groundbreaking story, Woodward and Bernstein or whatever, it's going to be AOC, Smackdown, Michael Tracy, what?

01:03:54.000 Boom! 0.99

01:03:54.000 Clap back, snap back. 0.99

01:03:55.000 Oh, a million views.

01:03:56.000 Well, even if you did do some incredible investigative journalism and you're just starting off, no one will see it because the algorithms wouldn't promote it.

01:04:05.000 No matter how good it is, people who start off as if they're not with CNN, if they're not with the establishment, if they don't have any big money, not even just money, but if they don't have any connections to Google, no one's going to see their stories.

01:04:17.000 Let's just be honest here.

01:04:18.000 Yeah.

01:04:19.000 And that's horrible.

01:04:20.000 And that's the system that YouTube is building and needs to fix and correct immediately.

01:04:26.000 No, no, no.

01:04:27.000 You say fix.

01:04:28.000 This is exactly the intended consequence.

01:04:31.000 So we had, there was one journalist, I don't remember who this was, but it was...

01:04:36.000 I forgot his last name.

01:04:36.000 I don't know how to pronounce his last name.

01:04:37.000 You know that Jordan guy?

01:04:38.000 Is it Chiron?

01:04:40.000 I don't know how to pronounce his last name.

01:04:41.000 I don't remember what his last name is.

01:04:42.000 I know lots of Jordans.

01:04:43.000 I don't follow him all that much, but he was tweeting about someone who covered the Capitol riots had their video taken down.

01:04:50.000 Oh, Ford Fisher?

01:04:51.000 No.

01:04:52.000 Ford Fisher was also impacted by this.

01:04:55.000 Yeah, his last name's Schachtel.

01:04:58.000 S-C-H-S-C-H-A-T-E-L. 1.00

01:04:59.000 No, you're talking about somebody else.

01:05:01.000 The point is there were a couple lefties who were pointing out that hard coverage, legitimate journalism from the Capitol, was deleted by YouTube.

01:05:07.000 And then you have Ford Fisher, who's more of a libertarian, had his coverage deleted by YouTube.

01:05:11.000 YouTube is anti-journalism.

01:05:14.000 So when we were doing Subverse stuff, YouTube has just demonetized and deranged and knocked all that stuff down.

01:05:19.000 It's not Scanner.

01:05:20.000 And we're, you know, for those that are following and are, you know, we're still working on Scanner and we've got some stuff to work through.

01:05:27.000 We'll get to that.

01:05:27.000 Long story short, I'm hoping to subsidize legitimate on-the-ground reporting and investigative journalism.

01:05:33.000 It's just very hard to do in this day and age.

01:05:35.000 One of the big issues as well is that many investigative reporters don't want to work for anybody.

01:05:41.000 They're just like, I'll do it on my own.

01:05:42.000 It's like a Patreon.

01:05:42.000 And then the reach is dramatically limited.

01:05:44.000 I think interesting phenomenon when it came to Subverse and when it comes to it seems like the people that invest because it was like a crowdfunded investment raised like a million dollars and it was but the people I don't think I can only really speak for myself.

01:05:56.000 I also invested in it or tried to before they got close the investment round got closed didn't invest to see a return on their money.

01:06:02.000 They invested because they believed in the movement.

01:06:04.000 Which is why most, I think, non-investigative outlets are non-profit.

01:06:08.000 It's easier just to take donations to do it.

01:06:11.000 So, it's not an easy problem to solve, man.

01:06:15.000 The current internet ecosystem greatly supports snapback, clapback, tabloid drama over legitimate, exposing... Listen, man.

01:06:25.000 You gotta, you ask some young person.

01:06:27.000 There's no culture, there's no unity, and there's no passion.

01:06:30.000 Why should any Gen Z-er coming up right now, going to school, want to risk their lives exposing the corrupt?

01:06:37.000 It's gonna destroy their lives.

01:06:39.000 Look at that dude, was his name Gary Webb?

01:06:41.000 Remember that?

01:06:42.000 Do you know the story?

01:06:42.000 Yeah, I just saw a video of him yesterday.

01:06:44.000 Oh yeah, that's a very, very important story.

01:06:46.000 Yep, yep.

01:06:46.000 What happened?

01:06:47.000 He was trying to expose, what was it, the CIA?

01:06:49.000 Well, the drug trade specifically organized by the CIA that was also arming rebels in Latin America for the overthrow of the government, specifically the Contras in Nicaragua, and he exposed through talking to individuals like freeway Ricky Ross, not the rapper, the original real freeway Ricky Ross, I actually talked to him and interviewed him on my channel on We Are Change, who exposed essentially how it was the CIA that introduced him to crack cocaine and pushed crack cocaine into the United States.

01:07:21.000 And can I read?

01:07:22.000 I gotta read this.

01:07:23.000 This is from Wikipedia.

01:07:24.000 You don't gotta like Wikipedia.

01:07:26.000 I'm just gonna read a sentence.

01:07:28.000 Webb was found dead in his Carmichael home on December 10th, 2004 with two gunshot wounds to the head.

01:07:36.000 Shotgun wounds.

01:07:36.000 His death was ruled a suicide by the Sacramento County Coroner's Office.

01:07:41.000 After a local papal reported that he had died from multiple gunshots, the coroner's office received so many calls asking about Webb's death that Sacramento County Coroner Robert Lyons issued a statement confirming that Webb had died by suicide.

01:07:52.000 When asked by local reporters about the possibility of two gunshots being a suicide, Lyons replied,

01:07:57.000 it's unusual in a suicide case to have two shots, but it has been done in the past,

01:08:01.000 and it is in fact a distinct possibility. News coverage noted that there were widespread

01:08:06.000 rumors on the internet at the time that Webb had been killed as retribution for his Dark

01:08:10.000 Alliance series, published eight years before.

01:08:13.000 Webb's ex-wife Susan Bell told reporters that she believed Webb had died by suicide.

01:08:17.000 The way he was acting it would be hard for me to believe it was anything but suicide, she said.

01:08:21.000 According to Bell, Webb had been unhappy for some time over his inability to get a job at another major newspaper.

01:08:26.000 He had sold his house the week before his death because he was unable to afford the mortgage.

01:08:31.000 After Webb's death, a collection of his stories, before and after the Dark Alliance series were published, etc.

01:08:35.000 etc.

01:08:37.000 There was even a movie surrounding his life.

01:08:41.000 It's possible that he shot himself in such a way that it wasn't lethal, but most people read that and go, like, they're even telling us on Wikipedia that people are like, what?

01:08:52.000 What do you mean?

01:08:53.000 Kill the Messenger was, I think, the movie that documented his life.

01:08:58.000 I remember reading his book The Dark Alliance when I was in in high school and being absolutely flabbergasted at the connections that he was able to investigate to look into and expose with evidence with proof the US government literally financing not only death squads in Latin America and and financing revolutions and and meddling in other people's elections but More importantly bringing crack cocaine into the United ... States and introducing it into urban dense communities ... which of course led to individuals like Joe Biden and ... the Clintons passing very strict legislation that threw ... a lot of people in jail for victimless crimes like using ... narcotics and again just just the weaponization and how ... crack cocaine was used to destroy.

01:09:44.000 Modern America those implications when we talk about you know racism and race issues why does anyone know anyone want to bring up these issues why are we having huge conversations about any liability for all those people involved any consequences for all those people involved that destroyed so many lives and communities for what it's absolutely sickening I mean his book The Dark Alliance I definitely recommend it and Later on in life, he did complain because no one wanted to hire him because he exposed the CIA.

01:10:11.000 And when you expose the CIA, I mean, Chuck Schumer says, you know, they haven't wasted a Sunday.

01:10:16.000 Let's talk about Michael Hastings.

01:10:19.000 Do you guys know the story of Michael Hastings?

01:10:21.000 He was investigating some very, very powerful people.

01:10:24.000 Long story short, but I can pull it up and read it for you.

01:10:26.000 Sam, are you gonna get a shot?

01:10:28.000 Am I gonna get a shot? 0.96

01:10:30.000 Are we talking about this?

01:10:31.000 No, but I think I'll get banned.

01:10:32.000 That's why I keep telling everybody, like, we're setting up a website because we are cutting through the BS and people want to know about investigative journalism.

01:10:39.000 They want to know why it's not happening.

01:10:40.000 I'll tell you.

01:10:41.000 First, you get stories like Gary Webb.

01:10:43.000 Suicide by two gunshots to the head.

01:10:45.000 And they're like, trust us, that's what happened.

01:10:46.000 And the journalists are like, yo, we got an issue with that story.

01:10:50.000 Then you get this story about Michael Hastings and this is only, uh, this is now just about seven and a half or so years ago.

01:10:56.000 Controversy over alleged foul play.

01:10:59.000 Michael Hastings was a journalist, and he died in a fiery car wreck in, uh, I believe it was Los Angeles.

01:11:05.000 That's right!

01:11:06.000 This was in, like, what, 2013?

01:11:06.000 2013.

01:11:07.000 Yeah, I remember that.

01:11:08.000 Wasn't Joe Biggs his friend?

01:11:10.000 Well, let me just read this for you.

01:11:12.000 They say the day before the crash, Hastings indicated that he believed he was being investigated by the FBI in an email to colleagues which was copied to and released by Hastings' friend, Army Staff Sergeant Joe Biggs.

01:11:23.000 Hastings said that he was onto a big story that he needed to go off the radar and that the FBI might interview him.

01:11:29.000 WikiLeaks announced that Hastings had also contacted Jennifer Robinson, one of his lawyers, a few hours prior to his death.

01:11:36.000 And the LA Weekly reported that he was preparing new reports on the...

01:11:44.000 The FBI released a statement denying that Hastings was ever under investigation by the agency, etc, etc.

01:11:49.000 But I want to give you the gist of the story.

01:11:53.000 He goes to his neighbor and he says, I need to borrow your car.

01:11:56.000 Because the other night I saw someone fiddling around with my car and his neighbor was like, wait, that's crazy.

01:12:00.000 No, you can't use my car.

01:12:02.000 Then his car was seen speeding down the road at maximum speed, sparks and flames shooting out, and then crashed into a tree just at the time he was saying he was going to be reporting on the CIA and was contacting WikiLeaks.

01:12:15.000 And I guess we'll never know.

01:12:16.000 Are you sure there were sparks and flames?

01:12:18.000 That's what the report said.

01:12:19.000 Wow.

01:12:19.000 That's what the report said.

01:12:20.000 There's video, there's like a short clip of showing the actual, you know, car moving before it, you know, It crashed and it killed him.

01:12:29.000 There's a guy named Kevin Shipp.

01:12:31.000 He used to work for the CIA.

01:12:32.000 Are you familiar with his work at all, Luke?

01:12:33.000 No.

01:12:33.000 You're gonna love this guy.

01:12:34.000 He left the CIA to expose them.

01:12:37.000 Wrote a book called From the Shadows about the shadow government and the deep state and the difference between the two.

01:12:41.000 And he talks very clearly about how the CIA will and tried to do to him.

01:12:46.000 First, destroy your economic ability to get a job.

01:12:49.000 Then go after your family to freak you out. 1.00

01:12:51.000 Then eventually they'll try and kill you. 1.00

01:12:52.000 Yeah, so maybe we should change subjects. 0.99

01:12:54.000 my my my come on girl girl pay 0.99

01:12:58.000 the cartoon guys are like I just wanna make 20 bucks you're in it, you're on the list now

01:13:02.000 no no I'm kidding it's true I've been on the list

01:13:06.000 my big red pill with the CIA well first of all the past 4 years of just seeing the

01:13:10.000 intelligence community trying to unseat a democratically elected president

01:13:14.000 with absolutely no evidence was enough of a red pill But one thing I'm going to tell all the people at home that blew my mind the first time I did it, and I'm not even going to describe it, but just Google Operation Northwoods if you haven't already.

01:13:24.000 Oh yeah.

01:13:24.000 Just Google that.

01:13:25.000 I'm not even going to tell you what it is.

01:13:26.000 That was the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

01:13:27.000 But the Intercept, what you were talking about, I kind of want to add on.

01:13:30.000 The Intercept actually wrote an article a few years ago in 2014 that was titled, How the CIA Watched Over the Destruction of Gary Webb.

01:13:39.000 So there's a lot of other involvement, there's a lot of other underhanded things that we don't know of that should be exposed, should be talked about no matter what the consequences, because the truth here matters.

01:13:48.000 But there's also other media institutions like the Washington Post, which I have to point out, do have a lot of connections to the CIA, that wrote an article saying, quote, Gary Webb was no journalism hero.

01:14:00.000 Despite what Kill the Messenger says.

01:14:03.000 Kill the Messenger was in the movie.

01:14:07.000 Ian, I gotta address something Ian just said about how they go after your family.

01:14:12.000 What I was told by some other journalists is that the first thing they do is bribe.

01:14:18.000 It's simple.

01:14:19.000 Hey, would you like to help us out, man?

01:14:21.000 You know, we all love this country.

01:14:22.000 Maybe we should keep talking about this.

01:14:24.000 Well, so they come to you and they make a very... Well, actually, it's not... The first thing isn't cash.

01:14:28.000 The first thing is, will you agree to work with us?

01:14:30.000 And a lot of journalists say, yes, immediately.

01:14:33.000 We'll send you stories.

01:14:34.000 You publish them.

01:14:35.000 It'll be great.

01:14:35.000 It'll help the country out.

01:14:36.000 And they say, you got it.

01:14:38.000 Because these journalists are like, oh, I'm going to get these juicy sources.

01:14:41.000 These intelligence people are going to be feeding me the big news.

01:14:43.000 And then I'll make a name for myself.

01:14:44.000 You say no.

01:14:45.000 You say, I'm not here to serve the interests of the intelligence agencies.

01:14:50.000 I am a journalist.

01:14:50.000 And they go, OK.

01:14:51.000 Shortly after, they'll be like, we want you to work for us.

01:14:53.000 We can compensate you.

01:14:55.000 The next incentive is money.

01:14:56.000 And if you say, I'm not driven by money.

01:14:58.000 You can't control me.

01:14:59.000 I'm going to report the facts.

01:15:01.000 The next thing that comes is the threats.

01:15:04.000 What would happen to your family?

01:15:06.000 What do you think's gonna happen if you do this?

01:15:07.000 Powerful people are gonna be mad at you.

01:15:09.000 Then you start getting signs that they will come for you, they will threaten your family, they will hurt your family.

01:15:15.000 And then lastly, they come for you. 0.96

01:15:17.000 Accuse you of crimes, smear you, or ultimately kill you. 0.96

01:15:20.000 I'm not saying that's true.

01:15:21.000 I'm saying, I've had journalists explain this to me around this time, you know, in 2012, 2013, with like a lot of the big hacker stuff that was going on, a lot of the journalists that I knew and hung out with were like, this is typically what you'll see.

01:15:32.000 And so you'll end up with someone like perhaps Michael Hastings saying the FBI has been investigating him, perhaps because he had already, you know, they knew they couldn't turn him, they couldn't convince him, he wouldn't work with them, and he was going to expose these big stories.

01:15:44.000 To be fair, I'm not trying to, you know, I know it's a sore subject for a lot of people.

01:15:48.000 His family says that they essentially discount these narratives, these conspiracy theories.

01:15:52.000 The point is, when you're an investigative journalist, And you are staring down at the CIA and the FBI, powerful U.S., massively funded interests that don't want to have bumps in the road?

01:16:05.000 They're not gonna let you do it, man.

01:16:07.000 Yeah.

01:16:07.000 Now, most journalists don't do any reporting that really bothers them, like 99.9.

01:16:13.000 But eventually you get someone who gets leaked some real information, and what do they gotta do?

01:16:16.000 They flee to Hong Kong or Russia before that information gets leaked to, say, WikiLeaks or Glenn Greenwald.

01:16:21.000 Yeah, and there's also the big information that Udo Ufkete, I'm saying it wrong, he's a German journalist that worked for Der Spiegel, that released and talked about how essentially, you know, intelligence agencies were writing entire articles that he just had to put his name behind.

01:16:39.000 And, you know, there's a large number of these individuals that, of course, we need to remind people of.

01:16:43.000 There are heroes out there that do deserve to be commended, that do deserve to be talked about, and do deserve to be remembered since, of course, you know, having these conversations is something that is more imperative than ever, especially right now.

01:16:56.000 I have mixed feelings about the CIA.

01:16:59.000 In a way, I value it because we have secret spy agencies.

01:17:05.000 Maybe you need them.

01:17:06.000 I don't know.

01:17:08.000 It didn't exist before 1945.

01:17:08.000 It's not all bad.

01:17:11.000 It's not.

01:17:11.000 Nothing's absolute.

01:17:13.000 I guess if you like living in America and you like the interests that we have in this country, like if you like the ability to go and buy a pizza and live comfortably and stuff, you have to, you know, recognize that there are things being done essentially in your name that you probably would never agree with and would not vote for.

01:17:30.000 They do horrifying things, and the justification is you don't know about it.

01:17:35.000 And you get to live comfortably and beautifully in the United States.

01:17:38.000 Look, they want to build the Qatar-Turkey pipeline.

01:17:39.000 A big reason for this big conflict with Russia and Syria is to get cheap gas into Europe so that people in Europe can live better and more cheaply.

01:17:47.000 Most people in Europe would probably be like, I want cheaper gas!

01:17:50.000 And they do!

01:17:50.000 There was rioting in France over expensive gas.

01:17:53.000 So, intelligence agencies and contractors, real nasty people doing real nasty stuff, are doing real nasty things so that you can get your cheaper gas.

01:18:03.000 And I try talking to a lot of activists about this.

01:18:05.000 I'm like, you have so many people who love living in luxury.

01:18:08.000 And that's why I think it's really important that people get out away from the big cities, learn to support themselves, take responsibility, maybe chop some wood, learn how to hunt, handle a firearm, be responsible for yourself.

01:18:20.000 Because if you want to sit here and complain about warfare and slavery and stuff in countries like China with Foxconn labs, you've got to recognize that you are reaping the benefits of war and slavery.

01:18:32.000 And if you don't want to acknowledge that, then fine.

01:18:36.000 That's on you.

01:18:37.000 For me, I fully understand.

01:18:39.000 That's what this world is made of and what's going on.

01:18:41.000 And I oppose it in a lot of ways.

01:18:42.000 And I do think we should get back to being more self-sustainable and self-reliant.

01:18:47.000 Yeah, I would argue about the gas prices, because it's not as simple as just gas prices.

01:18:52.000 I mean, as John Perkins exposed with The Economic Hitman, it's far more than that.

01:18:57.000 It's interest, it's a lot of powers that want more of it, and they're going to get their way one way or another.

01:19:04.000 And the only way they're able to is because people stay silent.

01:19:08.000 It's because people are afraid.

01:19:09.000 It's because people don't want to talk about these larger issues, but if we did, it would expose their game, which is essentially rigged, which more and more people are finding out.

01:19:16.000 So I think it's more imperative to have these honest, real conversations, and I'm very happy to be a part of this one, because I think it's absolutely needed.

01:19:24.000 This is why nobody wants to be a real journalist anymore.

01:19:29.000 Look, back in the day, you had those names, Woodward and Bernstein.

01:19:32.000 Now, they're kind of, you know, I guess, off the rails.

01:19:36.000 Is it Bernstein who keeps saying... Everything's worse than Watergate.

01:19:39.000 Yeah, everything's worse than Watergate.

01:19:41.000 It used to be that if you were a journalist and you exposed something, you were protected.

01:19:45.000 Because they were like, we can't go after this person because they're a famous and respected journalist.

01:19:49.000 That was a long time ago.

01:19:50.000 Now, they'll just make up some insane story and call you a Nazi. 0.99

01:19:53.000 Yeah, you're white supremacist, you're a Russian asset. 1.00

01:19:55.000 Yeah, boom. 0.99

01:19:55.000 Boom, done. 0.99

01:19:56.000 There you go.

01:19:57.000 So, if you're not gonna go down in history for doing a good thing, if no one will like you and then you will die by suicide with two gunshots to the head, what incentive is there for anyone to actually do investigations?

01:20:09.000 None?

01:20:10.000 You're not going to make money doing it, and everyone will hate you.

01:20:13.000 Because they will smear and they will destroy you.

01:20:16.000 Look, before they... So, I was reading about... Well, I don't want to get too conspiratorial, but look at Julian Assange.

01:20:23.000 How the media lied.

01:20:25.000 About Julian Assange over and over and over again.

01:20:27.000 Just everything they put out about the guy was smears and lies.

01:20:30.000 A kissing of things he never did.

01:20:32.000 They destroyed his character.

01:20:34.000 And then they turned the left against him.

01:20:36.000 Amazing how it used to be the left that loved WikiLeaks.

01:20:40.000 Now it's the left that hates WikiLeaks.

01:20:42.000 It's amazing.

01:20:43.000 And Donald Trump loved WikiLeaks too, and then he oddly forgot who Julian Assange was.

01:20:47.000 Yeah, that's really sad.

01:20:49.000 He was asked about it point blank.

01:20:50.000 I don't know who Julian Assange is.

01:20:52.000 I mean, are you kidding me?

01:20:53.000 I love WikiLeaks!

01:20:54.000 I gotta ask you guys, were you disappointed by that or did you expect it, that he wouldn't pardon him?

01:20:59.000 I don't know.

01:20:59.000 I was 50-50.

01:21:00.000 I was like, I wonder if he might do it.

01:21:03.000 I knew he was not going to do it, and I was still very disappointed that he didn't.

01:21:07.000 So what tipped you off?

01:21:08.000 What made you think, like, there's no way he's going to do this?

01:21:10.000 Well, his treatment of whistleblowers hasn't been that good.

01:21:14.000 I mean, his statements on Chelsea Manning, his statements on Julian Assange acting like he didn't even know who he was.

01:21:19.000 was a very telling sign, as well as the people around him.

01:21:22.000 I mean, we heard rumors that it was a lot of people, especially Jared Kushner, being one of the major people who was against giving any kind of freedom towards Julian Assange, along with other special interests that pushed for this.

01:21:35.000 And, you know, those voices were very prominent.

01:21:38.000 And I think those voices, Donald Trump heard and listened to and sadly disappointed a lot of his base that was expecting this to happen.

01:21:47.000 Yeah, very exciting.

01:21:47.000 an opportunity for on the way out to just like really smack it to the machine.

01:21:52.000 Yeah.

01:21:53.000 But he wants to run again.

01:21:54.000 Yeah.

01:21:55.000 And so what we're seeing now is.

01:21:56.000 Really?

01:21:57.000 Yeah.

01:21:58.000 Well, with his impeachment.

01:21:59.000 So first, there's a video of him where he goes, we're trying really hard.

01:22:00.000 This is like during it's like in December.

01:22:01.000 He's like, we're trying really hard to win, to stay in.

01:22:03.000 But if we don't, we'll see in 2024.

01:22:05.000 So what's happening now is they're impeaching him, right?

01:22:08.000 He's filed his rebuttal to the impeachment saying, I'm not in office.

01:22:11.000 You can't impeach me.

01:22:13.000 The Constitution specifically says that they can be impeached, they can be removed from office, or like impeachment serves the purpose of removing them from office.

01:22:21.000 He says, well, if I can't be removed from office because I'm not in office, you can't impeach me, right?

01:22:25.000 So then he's arguing, it says the purpose of impeachment is to remove them from office and prevent them from holding office in the future.

01:22:32.000 Trump says, well, as I can't be impeached, I can still run for office in the future.

01:22:36.000 And you have no jurisdiction to try a private citizen before he's in public office, before he's run or whatever, or while he's not in office.

01:22:44.000 Trump is basically saying he wants to run.

01:22:46.000 And the purpose of impeachment is to stop him from being able to be president again.

01:22:49.000 Drew Holden said that Jeff Bezos wants to run.

01:22:52.000 He said he's running, and I don't know if that means running away from Amazon or running for office.

01:22:57.000 Zuckerberg-Bezos.

01:22:58.000 Oprah, no.

01:22:59.000 Zuckerberg-Bezos.

01:22:59.000 No, no, no.

01:23:00.000 Bezos-Oprah.

01:23:05.000 I want to vote for a Zuckerberg-Bezos ticket.

01:23:08.000 I'm totally not serious.

01:23:11.000 Would you vote for Bezos over Kamala Harris?

01:23:14.000 Oh, does it have to be Kamala versus Bezos?

01:23:16.000 I think it's gonna be Kamala.

01:23:17.000 I think it'd be Bezos.

01:23:19.000 Was he running as a Republican?

01:23:21.000 No way.

01:23:22.000 No way.

01:23:22.000 He can't run as a Republican.

01:23:23.000 Oh, that's tough.

01:23:24.000 I mean, I could never vote for Kamala.

01:23:25.000 Here's the thing.

01:23:25.000 I know, I know I cannot vote for Kamala.

01:23:28.000 And I would not want to vote for Bezos.

01:23:29.000 I'd have to see his policies.

01:23:30.000 I assume I just could not vote for either, but I don't know.

01:23:33.000 What about Zuckerberg?

01:23:34.000 Zuckerberg?

01:23:34.000 I don't know.

01:23:35.000 Because he's also, they're both, Zuckerberg is also on the left.

01:23:39.000 So what would that really do for me?

01:23:40.000 They're both going to be pro-choice and I can't vote pro-choice.

01:23:43.000 What does that leave me with?

01:23:44.000 Actually, I don't know where Bezos stands on that.

01:23:46.000 I'm pretty sure the next Republican that we get who runs is going to be pro-choice.

01:23:50.000 Oh my goodness.

01:23:51.000 Super liberal. 0.99

01:23:53.000 Just remove any racist folks.

01:23:55.000 If they don't take down Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz really looks like he's going to be one of the kind of favorites to be on the Republican ticket.

01:24:00.000 I don't know if Ted Cruz could be president.

01:24:02.000 Same with Rubio.

01:24:03.000 I mean, same with Rand.

01:24:04.000 I think those three are definitely the people that are going to be looked at in 2024.

01:24:09.000 And Donald Trump's getting up there as far as age, and I don't think he's going to do it.

01:24:13.000 I think if we know anything about Donald Trump, he's all talk.

01:24:16.000 He's all bark, no bite.

01:24:18.000 And I think he's doing that to try to save face now.

01:24:21.000 And I think he keeps doing that.

01:24:22.000 I mean, you read his book, The Art of the Deal, a lot of it is just, you know, PR to the max and just using information as a way to get as much support as you can to get what you can.

01:24:35.000 And that's essentially his presidency.

01:24:37.000 So do you think they'll let Ted Cruz run after he attempted to murder AOC?

01:24:41.000 Well, well, hold on.

01:24:42.000 She thinks he actually was the Zodiac Killer.

01:24:43.000 Let's be clear.

01:24:44.000 It's worse than that.

01:24:47.000 He didn't just try.

01:24:48.000 He rallied all of his friends.

01:24:50.000 And I remember this clear as day.

01:24:53.000 I remember that video of Ted Cruz holding the torch, leading the people down the hallway, screaming, AOC!

01:24:59.000 With his copy of Green Eggs and Ham.

01:25:02.000 Oh my goodness.

01:25:03.000 Isn't he the Zodiac Killer?

01:25:05.000 He was clearly the Zodiac Killer.

01:25:06.000 AOC thinks he was. Wasn't it his dad though? Not him. How did that come out about it?

01:25:10.000 It was just a meme, right? Yes Trump didn't Trump say something about his dad being

01:25:15.000 involved with like JFK's assassination. It was clearly the Zodiac killer. It's settled

01:25:19.000 Luke I I am happy to hear that you believe that Cruz and Rand will

01:25:24.000 Really be looked at I guess my question is, what are you basing that on?

01:25:28.000 Why do you feel they're the guys who are going to get the attention?

01:25:30.000 Because they're getting attacked the most.

01:25:32.000 So you see the targets.

01:25:33.000 I mean, the establishment is smart.

01:25:35.000 I mean, we're talking about the CIA and the information that they data harvest, especially from the NSA and all the information that they know.

01:25:42.000 I mean, we're probably already with predictive programming algorithms that could predict the future.

01:25:46.000 I think we're already there.

01:25:47.000 And I think it's already being exploited. 0.91

01:25:49.000 And I think the bigger kind of targets that stand against them, They're already setting the groundwork to beat them into oblivion, and that's why we're seeing such attacks on them that are kind of ridiculous. 0.61

01:26:03.000 I don't like... I criticized all of them.

01:26:05.000 I have negative things to say about all of them, but seeing the media landscape...

01:26:09.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:26:10.000 Seeing the media landscape against them, there's something that's up and I think it's because they represent some of the bigger ideas that a lot of mainline kind of Republicans and Trump supporters also kind of in the middle ground resonate with.

01:26:22.000 What if it's Tucker?

01:26:24.000 Tucker Carlson for president, my goodness.

01:26:26.000 I like him because he's the only one that criticized Donald Trump effectively.

01:26:30.000 He's the only one not afraid.

01:26:31.000 Sean Hannity, I mean, he's a total brown noser, but Tucker Carlson literally called out Trump on the issues that actually mattered.

01:26:39.000 The war, the budgets, the COVID response, everything that Trump did bad, Tucker was right on him.

01:26:46.000 So I gotta give him credit for that.

01:26:47.000 Isn't it incredible that he's on television?

01:26:48.000 Well, they're trying to take him down too.

01:26:51.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:26:52.000 But that's why he's the only one who saw ratings growth.

01:26:54.000 Yes.

01:26:55.000 When everyone else was doing bad.

01:26:57.000 Yeah, people don't know this about Luke, but Luke is, you know, he has a poster of Tucker.

01:27:02.000 I definitely disagree with him on his stance on things like marijuana.

01:27:08.000 I disagree with him personally on issues like that.

01:27:10.000 But I like hearing him because, you know, he's going to come out with information that is going to be backed by some kind of thinking.

01:27:18.000 Yes.

01:27:18.000 and i could agree with the thing i could disagree with the thinking but at least

01:27:20.000 i understand that it that it's coming from a perspective but i could watch and not understand that are being tricked

01:27:26.000 yes i i i i i went into a looks rv and there was a photo of me and look at

01:27:31.000 where we are on the the docks in coney island and he has arm around me is getting a thumbs up and he taped tucker

01:27:35.000 cross's face I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

01:27:38.000 If you go down into the basement of this house, you'll see Luke watching Tucker.

01:27:45.000 Well, I gotta be honest, I think Tucker is the best personality on TV right now. 0.97

01:27:51.000 And I gotta be honest, it's not saying a whole lot, because almost every single person on TV is trash. 0.94

01:27:56.000 Exactly, that's exactly it. 0.95

01:27:58.000 He's like the only person who isn't just being handed talking points.

01:28:01.000 Yeah.

01:28:01.000 There was some stuff a few years ago where I watched, like one thing about marijuana legalization, and it really felt like he didn't agree with, this was years ago, he was opposed to it.

01:28:11.000 And it really sounded like he didn't really oppose it and was just trying to make it seem like he did.

01:28:16.000 And I was like, it's not working, Tucker.

01:28:17.000 Just go back to agreeing with him.

01:28:18.000 He's still against decriminalization.

01:28:19.000 I remember a few years ago when he was still wearing a bow tie promoting war, I confronted him.

01:28:24.000 I confronted Tucker Carlson at the DNC or the RAC.

01:28:27.000 I forgot it was in Florida.

01:28:28.000 I was on him.

01:28:29.000 I was on him.

01:28:30.000 And now I'm like, now I'm like, you know, this is the thing.

01:28:39.000 He's not trying to trick you.

01:28:40.000 Yeah.

01:28:40.000 He's like, this is what I think.

01:28:42.000 This is the information.

01:28:42.000 This is, this is my perspective.

01:28:44.000 Take it or leave it.

01:28:45.000 And I disagree with it sometimes, but it's a lot more genuine. 0.95

01:28:48.000 And then it's a lot more honest than all the other bull crap on there because you turn on Sean Hannity. 0.97

01:28:53.000 It's like, Trump's the best! 0.98

01:28:54.000 He's our lover no matter what!

01:28:56.000 And it's not clear. 0.93

01:28:58.000 It's fogged with personal bullcrap.

01:29:01.000 Do you see that really funny moment where Tucker was criticizing how all these big corporations made massive profits and stocks were skyrocketing during the pandemic?

01:29:10.000 And then when he was doing the handoff with Hannity, Hannity was like, he just jumps in and goes, if a company provides a service, they're going to make money.

01:29:17.000 And Tucker did the, like the furrowed brow, like, huh?

01:29:20.000 You know, look, and that was, that was great.

01:29:22.000 Did you, uh, did you grab him by the bow tie and just keep twisting it?

01:29:25.000 And you're like, listen here, Tucker.

01:29:28.000 I have a big role against that.

01:29:31.000 Well, it's funny because I've, I actually know people who have worked with Tucker who very much disagree with him on everything, but said, like, he's one of their favorite people and he's He was confronted by Joey Boots.

01:29:39.000 I don't know if you remember Joey Boots from Occupy Wall Street.

01:29:42.000 He's no longer with us, but he was a very interesting character.

01:29:44.000 When Tucker was fishing.

01:29:45.000 Yeah, Tucker was fishing, and the way Tucker responded to him was so nice.

01:29:50.000 Genuine.

01:29:52.000 It was so genuine, it was so real.

01:29:53.000 I mean, if you look up Joey Boots and Tucker Carlson, and they just had an honest, genuine conversation when Joey Boots was being a creeper.

01:30:00.000 So Tucker was fishing in Central Park.

01:30:03.000 And he was like, can you fish here?

01:30:04.000 And he goes, you can.

01:30:05.000 And he's like, it's legal?

01:30:06.000 It is.

01:30:07.000 And then he was like, Tucker sat and like, just like, all right.

01:30:09.000 No, no, no.

01:30:10.000 This is the thing.

01:30:10.000 Joey Boots was filming him.

01:30:11.000 Right.

01:30:11.000 And then Tucker Noah says like, why are you filming me?

01:30:15.000 And then, and I guess, I guess Joey didn't know it was Tucker Carlson.

01:30:18.000 I don't know if he did or didn't.

01:30:19.000 He said he didn't.

01:30:19.000 He said he didn't know who it was.

01:30:21.000 Then he was like, you know, why are you, why are you filming me?

01:30:23.000 He's like, he's like, can you fish here?

01:30:25.000 It's like the establishment doesn't want you to fish here.

01:30:27.000 But Tucker was like, do people get mad when you film them?

01:30:29.000 He's like, yeah.

01:30:30.000 He's like, huh.

01:30:31.000 He's like, you know, all right.

01:30:32.000 All right, well, how's it going?

01:30:33.000 He's like, you want to see what I caught?

01:30:34.000 He was like, what are you fishing?

01:30:35.000 I was like, fly fishing.

01:30:36.000 And he shows him.

01:30:37.000 He's a cool dude.

01:30:39.000 I was talking to somebody.

01:30:40.000 I was in Portland during like some big riot or something.

01:30:43.000 And somebody was asking me about who I liked, and I said, I like Tucker Carlson.

01:30:48.000 And then some leftists heard it, and they started going like, oh, oh, oh!

01:30:51.000 And they started tweeting like, overheard on the street, Tim Pool praising Tucker Carlson.

01:30:54.000 And I'm like, I will go on my YouTube channel and praise him if it makes it easier for you.

01:30:59.000 It's like, it's not hiding that.

01:31:00.000 Dude, it's because these people don't have principles.

01:31:03.000 So you look at some of these personalities on CNN, and what do you get from Cuomo?

01:31:08.000 Giant fake Q-tip, Don Lemon.

01:31:11.000 It's not about principle, it's about tribal grifting.

01:31:13.000 Emotional manipulation, most of all. 0.99

01:31:15.000 It's like, look at the horror, look at the sadness, look at this pathetic... I mean, it's milking things that, again, it's just petty. 0.96

01:31:24.000 It's poor, it's pathetic. 0.98

01:31:25.000 I want to blame Rachel Maddow, because I think she was the first. 0.98

01:31:28.000 And I might be wrong about that, but I feel like she created a genre of, whoa, I just got some light on my face.

01:31:34.000 I think that's good, though.

01:31:36.000 Of that, like, emotional... No, no, Keith Olbermann kind of started it.

01:31:40.000 He went nuts, dude!

01:31:41.000 What happened to that guy?

01:31:41.000 There was a picture of him underneath the flag, and someone tweeted, Keith, it's safe to go outside right now.

01:31:47.000 It's okay.

01:31:48.000 Trump's gone.

01:31:48.000 It's fine.

01:31:49.000 Oh my gosh.

01:31:49.000 But he absolutely lost it.

01:31:52.000 We're having some light issues.

01:31:53.000 I think it might be an electrical issue, since the lights kind of went up and we're dealing with some extreme light.

01:31:58.000 Was the blizzard?

01:31:59.000 Yeah.

01:31:59.000 I don't know if it's an electrical issue, but man, is it crazy out there.

01:32:01.000 Yeah, that one's really crazy.

01:32:02.000 Oh my goodness, are we gonna have a snowball fight?

01:32:04.000 You know what's really crazy, just as a total side note, So, most of you know that we're out in the middle of nowhere.

01:32:13.000 I was talking to the mail lady earlier, and she told me to make sure that we have emergency food.

01:32:19.000 I started laughing, because we do the promos, and we were talking about it the other day, and she was just like, you're out in the middle of nowhere, the mountains get covered, and you get trapped, and people don't realize it.

01:32:29.000 You need to make sure you're stocked up, and I started laughing.

01:32:31.000 I was like, thank you ma'am, I appreciate it.

01:32:32.000 Did you tell her how much vinegar we have?

01:32:34.000 No, no, but... She knows, didn't it break in the mail?

01:32:38.000 How much vinegar did you buy?

01:32:39.000 25 gallons.

01:32:42.000 Why?

01:32:42.000 So that we can live forever, Tim.

01:32:44.000 Not a vinegar!

01:32:45.000 What are you gonna do?

01:32:46.000 You know, interestingly... So we can boil tea with grass.

01:32:49.000 I made, from scratch, General Tso's chicken.

01:32:52.000 You what?

01:32:53.000 It was good, too.

01:32:53.000 It was amazing.

01:32:54.000 From scratch.

01:32:54.000 It was like a garlic sauce.

01:32:56.000 To the extent you can.

01:32:58.000 Like, I didn't make the soy sauce.

01:33:00.000 But, you know, we mix vinegar, and it's interesting how you don't taste it when you mix it into the sauce.

01:33:04.000 Yeah, when you cook it.

01:33:05.000 Yeah.

01:33:06.000 Hey, I got some info about COVID.

01:33:08.000 I wonder if you guys would like to hear this.

01:33:10.000 So this is just a new study that came out, and it was shocking to see, and Facebook covered it up as potentially fake news, which I thought was weird, but it says... Who did the study?

01:33:17.000 Do you know who did it?

01:33:18.000 Stephen Quay?

01:33:19.000 Who's that?

01:33:20.000 Is that an institution?

01:33:21.000 No, he's a guy.

01:33:22.000 He's a medical doctor, and that's a PhD.

01:33:25.000 Uh, it says a new study by Stephen Quay concludes that SARS-CoV-2 came from a laboratory.

01:33:29.000 What's the story?

01:33:30.000 What's the source?

01:33:30.000 What I've... Oh, I'll look it up.

01:33:32.000 I actually sent this to you.

01:33:33.000 AP News.

01:33:34.000 AP.

01:33:34.000 The Associated Press.

01:33:36.000 Yeah, the Associated Press.

01:33:37.000 January 29th.

01:33:37.000 Uh, three days ago.

01:33:39.000 And when I read the story a little bit, check it out if you want a new study by Dr. Stephen Quay.

01:33:44.000 Q-U-A-W. 1.00

01:33:45.000 Um, is that they were actually testing the vaccines in 2019 in China for the SARS-CoV-2.

01:33:52.000 I, I, I, I can't, I can't find it.

01:33:54.000 It's called New Study by Dr. Stephen Quay.

01:33:56.000 How do you spell Quay?

01:33:59.000 Q-U-A-W. 1.00

01:34:00.000 Concludes that SARS-CoV-2 came from a laboratory.

01:34:04.000 I don't think... I sent it to you on Facebook.

01:34:07.000 Apnews.com, title, new study by Dr. Stephen Quay concludes that SARS-CoV-2 came from a laboratory.

01:34:16.000 Q-U-A-W? 1.00

01:34:18.000 Q-U-A-Y. 1.00

01:34:19.000 Oh, okay.

01:34:19.000 Pardon me.

01:34:21.000 This is from... I'm sorry, Ian, this is a press release.

01:34:25.000 Yeah, paid content from PR Newswire.

01:34:27.000 This is fake news.

01:34:28.000 It's fake?

01:34:29.000 Are you 100% sure this is fake?

01:34:30.000 This is someone writing a press release and then paying to have it published on an AP press wire.

01:34:35.000 It's not a report.

01:34:36.000 It says on the top here, press release, paid content from PR Newswire.

01:34:42.000 So his 193-page paper is... should we dismiss it?

01:34:45.000 Yes.

01:34:46.000 And why's that?

01:34:46.000 Because he paid to have it promoted, and until we actually get hard publication of what the study actually is, we shouldn't be announcing that it's true or anything like that.

01:34:53.000 I didn't announce that it's true.

01:34:54.000 Well, we'll say it's coming from the AP when in fact it's coming from a paid PR, you know, publicist.

01:34:58.000 Okay, so the AP will promote paid work as well?

01:35:01.000 The AP just shows a list of press releases.

01:35:04.000 It doesn't mean any of it's true.

01:35:05.000 We'll see if the story gets picked up.

01:35:07.000 It's not gonna get picked up.

01:35:08.000 And I'll look into it.

01:35:10.000 The challenge is, You know, look, just because the meat doesn't cover it doesn't mean it's fake news.

01:35:15.000 Exactly.

01:35:15.000 But I don't trust, because we've seen tons of stories like this already, they're not vetted.

01:35:20.000 So just because a guy publishes and pays for PR Newswire doesn't mean it's, you know... I'll put it this way.

01:35:25.000 I want to fact check it before we mention it.

01:35:26.000 The downside is I cannot bring myself to read 193 pages of paper.

01:35:31.000 It's a long paper.

01:35:33.000 Seriously.

01:35:34.000 Listen, listen.

01:35:35.000 I'll look into it, and I'll see if I can vet it in any capacity, learn about who this guy is, but you are bringing up a press release with no vetting and no fact-checking.

01:35:44.000 Yeah.

01:35:44.000 That's not- we can't do that.

01:35:46.000 Oh, okay.

01:35:47.000 Because otherwise- I'm not- well, yeah, I wouldn't try and prove it or anything.

01:35:50.000 What were you gonna say?

01:35:51.000 No, I was gonna say let's go to Superchats.

01:35:52.000 Okay.

01:35:53.000 Smash the like button, ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't already. 0.58

01:35:55.000 Make sure you smash the like button.

01:35:56.000 You know, we do, we're gonna have probably, I think it's gonna turn into a bonus episode on life after death and religion.

01:36:03.000 Yes, please.

01:36:03.000 Because we have this story, and I think it's gonna go too long, so we're gonna make it a bonus segment talking about Netflix claims to have in this documentary proof of life after death.

01:36:12.000 Excuse me?

01:36:13.000 And I think, well, so they claim- Netflix did it, wow.

01:36:15.000 Well, hold on, hold on.

01:36:16.000 Good for them.

01:36:18.000 I could be wrong.

01:36:19.000 We'll save it for the segment, and I think it'll be a fun conversation, and it'll probably be long, so it might end up being this whole big spiritual philosophical conversation.

01:36:26.000 So go to TimCast.com, become a member.

01:36:28.000 It should be up maybe around 11 or so is when we usually get these things up, but because it might run long, it may be up later than that.

01:36:34.000 Don't forget to smash the like button, subscribe, hit that notification bell, and really share the podcast if you like it, because that's how we grow.

01:36:40.000 Let's read your superchats.

01:36:42.000 I'm not your buddy, guy.

01:36:44.000 Said the financial system is rigged.

01:36:45.000 The media are propagandist.

01:36:47.000 Educators indoctrinate.

01:36:48.000 Politicians are tyrants. 0.90

01:36:49.000 The judicial system is corrupt. 0.97

01:36:51.000 And voting is rigged.

01:36:52.000 What are we defending?

01:36:53.000 Is it worth preserving anymore?

01:36:55.000 You know, it's, uh, what is it?

01:36:57.000 Empire's last 250 years?

01:36:59.000 We talked about this a couple weeks ago.

01:37:01.000 Maybe it's just that we don't have a unified culture anymore.

01:37:05.000 We don't have something where we're all like, we believe in each other.

01:37:08.000 No, it's just everyone out for themselves.

01:37:10.000 The ship is sinking and everyone is just trying to find a lifeboat to jump off and swim away.

01:37:14.000 Well, here's the question, too.

01:37:15.000 Because I've heard this, that empires last about 250 years.

01:37:19.000 Is that from their inception as a government, or from the time when they become an empire?

01:37:23.000 Because we didn't really become an empire until about 100 years ago.

01:37:25.000 Exactly.

01:37:25.000 But also, social media could accelerate the pace at which this kind of social decay occurs.

01:37:30.000 Yep.

01:37:30.000 I think we're seeing everyone say, every man for himself.

01:37:33.000 And that's why things are kind of falling apart.

01:37:34.000 Yeah.

01:37:35.000 Austin Gettl says, glad you're back, Seamus.

01:37:37.000 It's been too long.

01:37:38.000 Oh, I'm glad to be back, too, Austin.

01:37:39.000 Thank you.

01:37:41.000 Donnie420FY says, do you have an OnlyFans?

01:37:43.000 And I'm going to assume that he's talking to you, Seamus.

01:37:46.000 No, I don't have an OnlyFans.

01:37:47.000 I have a page on patreon.com slash freedomtunes if you guys want to check it out.

01:37:51.000 And my Patreon supply, which Tim also has, but I'm going to steal his spot by patreon.com slash freedomtunes.

01:37:57.000 Get some supplies.

01:37:58.000 Seamus Seamus you can use only fans to like show people how you draw and stuff isn't that usually used for point?

01:38:03.000 I know, but I just don't even want to be associated When my channel was demonetized I was like I'm just gonna do my regular videos, but just put them on there What if what if what if Seamus as you're drawing your cartoons you put your feet?

01:38:17.000 Oh?

01:38:21.000 All right, Samantha says, isn't it strange the article says AOC was in her office hiding, but the story she tells in a recent video, she's in a bathroom.

01:38:29.000 Well, yeah, because she said she was in the bathroom of her office, and her staffers were out in the office, I guess, to protect her.

01:38:35.000 I don't know.

01:38:37.000 Yeah, I guess.

01:38:38.000 There you go.

01:38:39.000 Michael Cobb says, there are reports that U.S.

01:38:42.000 Special Forces are in D.C.

01:38:43.000 now.

01:38:43.000 What are they doing?

01:38:44.000 What are they doing slash about to do that they need that kind of protection?

01:38:48.000 I haven't heard that.

01:38:48.000 I'll look into that.

01:38:50.000 Uh-oh.

01:38:50.000 I don't know if I should read this one.

01:38:51.000 Ian, they're mad at you.

01:38:53.000 Oh no.

01:38:53.000 Should I read it?

01:38:54.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:38:55.000 Cat's Claw says, Ian's a great example of why drugs are bad.

01:38:58.000 They fried his brain. 1.00

01:38:59.000 I've never heard a human say so many stupid things in my life. 1.00

01:39:02.000 That's a little harsh. 1.00

01:39:03.000 That's very harsh.

01:39:04.000 I don't like that.

01:39:05.000 It's so easy to be mean to people when they're not here.

01:39:08.000 Ian, I love you.

01:39:09.000 Thanks, Seamus.

01:39:09.000 People either really love you or hate you, though, you know what I mean?

01:39:12.000 That's the point.

01:39:13.000 Oh, is it?

01:39:13.000 A lot of people are, like, cheering for you.

01:39:16.000 I think what happens is when the negative comments come in, that's when all the positive ones come in.

01:39:19.000 In that guy's defense, I smoked weed for, like, 16 years straight, and it definitely twisted my ability to memorize information.

01:39:25.000 And people don't realize, you don't mean, like, periodically, you mean literally for 16 years, you had a joint in your mouth that was constantly being replenished.

01:39:31.000 I smoked for, like, 600 days straight, I think, at one point.

01:39:34.000 Wow, dude!

01:39:35.000 But I used to memorize scripts, you know, as an actor.

01:39:38.000 My memorization was off the chart, and then after I started smoking weed, I started thinking more abstractly, and so now I'm kind of, it's changed the way my mind functions, that's for sure.

01:39:50.000 Dent Crow says, I am a right-wing atheist like Carl Benjamin.

01:39:54.000 Why do you think so many atheists go full left-wing slash TDS, i.e.

01:39:58.000 Bill Maher, Sam Harris, and the entire atheist community of Austin, Texas?

01:40:02.000 Well, many of the atheists became anti-SJW.

01:40:05.000 That's true.

01:40:07.000 And then we saw a bunch of atheists just trying to fit in.

01:40:10.000 But what a lot of people don't realize, a lot of the atheist community was fueled by pro-LGBT rights.

01:40:17.000 It was social justice.

01:40:19.000 So, back in the day when the Republicans were anti-gay marriage, the atheist community had a large influx of people who were pro-gay marriage first, atheists second.

01:40:28.000 So when we, you know, moved to that natural conclusion, these are people who are interested in social justice, not atheism.

01:40:36.000 The people who are atheist first are skeptics and critical of dogma became anti-SJW.

01:40:42.000 So I think a lot of people just assumed the left was always the, you know, the right place to be.

01:40:48.000 Like Bill Maher, they call him alt-right.

01:40:50.000 Like he's really not left at all.

01:40:53.000 He's actually more moderate libertarian, but he does have Trump arrangement syndrome, you know.

01:40:57.000 I was like, and now he is, but 10 years ago.

01:40:59.000 This is funny.

01:41:00.000 When I, in 2013, when I was in my first college art course, I remember my teacher, who I considered to be left-wing at the time, recommending Joe Rogan to me.

01:41:11.000 And I was like, oh, there's probably some like hippie left-wing nonsense.

01:41:13.000 Can you imagine a left-wing college professor?

01:41:15.000 I mean, by the way, that college preacher, he's actually really cool.

01:41:17.000 I'm still in touch with him, but just the fact that he was somebody who I considered to be left-wing less than ten years ago.

01:41:22.000 They would expel you if you mentioned Joe Rogan.

01:41:24.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:41:25.000 You'd be like, I once watched Joe Rogan.

01:41:26.000 Get out! 0.99

01:41:27.000 Get out now, you Nazi! 0.99

01:41:29.000 That's it. 0.68

01:41:30.000 Alright, Daniel Maxwell says, You know the news media misses Trump when the top story of the day is AOC getting scared by a cop trying to get her to a safe location on January 6th.

01:41:41.000 Isn't that crazy?

01:41:43.000 Like, I'm here to save you, ma'am!

01:41:44.000 He's hurting me!

01:41:45.000 He's yelling at me!

01:41:45.000 I've heard that story.

01:41:46.000 Beating him with a cane.

01:41:47.000 Cody Mays says, a preceding event to the U.S. Civil War was Senator Preston Brooks beating

01:41:52.000 Senator Charles Sumner nearly to death on the Senate floor with a cane.

01:41:56.000 I've heard that story.

01:41:58.000 Beating him with a cane. 0.52

01:42:00.000 Geez, man.

01:42:02.000 Let's see, WMR Photography says, I guess AOC never had any scary moments on the short bus.

01:42:08.000 Aha! 0.94

01:42:10.000 Sporkwich says, if we only elected veterans, even desk jockeys get some combat training.

01:42:15.000 And remember, quote, an armed society is a polite society.

01:42:18.000 Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

01:42:22.000 Robert Heinlein.

01:42:24.000 This is anecdotal, and it could just be my sample size, but the veterans I've met tend to be very anti-war.

01:42:30.000 Oh, yeah.

01:42:31.000 Not, I've had some messages from people who are veterans who are pro-war.

01:42:34.000 Definitely.

01:42:35.000 Interesting.

01:42:35.000 Yeah, no, oh, I'm not denying that at all.

01:42:37.000 I mean, isn't Dan Crenshaw pro-war?

01:42:38.000 Yeah.

01:42:38.000 Yeah, he is.

01:42:39.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:42:40.000 Yeah, I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but many of the... And I think the anti-war veterans, they're like a special kind of anti-war.

01:42:45.000 Yeah.

01:42:46.000 They're, I mean, really vehemently against it in a way that other people aren't, because they understand it more.

01:42:50.000 All right, we got Amber Kirilak.

01:42:52.000 She says, Hey Luke, I had my vitamin D levels tested and I was advised by my doctor I need to take a daily supplement as I was deficient.

01:42:58.000 Also, I bought a hoodie from your store.

01:43:00.000 Can't wait to wear it.

01:43:01.000 Well, thank you so much.

01:43:02.000 And yeah, I always recommend getting your blood levels tested.

01:43:06.000 And I'm not a medical doctor, so don't take any medical advice from me, but thank you so much and really appreciate you.

01:43:12.000 Cliff Sroka says, hey guys, love your work.

01:43:15.000 Even you, Ian, would love to have a conversation one day over drinks and food, hopefully not on a Civil War battlefield.

01:43:21.000 Well, there you go.

01:43:25.000 Cole Frog, is that pronouncing it right, I guess?

01:43:27.000 Seamus, I liked your YouTube radicalization vid.

01:43:30.000 It's just hypocritical how the left is crying right-wing radicals when there are left-wing YouTubers radicalizing viewers and calling for violence.

01:43:36.000 In a video game. 0.83

01:43:37.000 In a video game.

01:43:38.000 In Minecraft.

01:43:39.000 In Minecraft.

01:43:39.000 Thank you, I very much appreciate that.

01:43:41.000 Cool.

01:43:42.000 And I agree.

01:43:43.000 Yes, they said in a video game.

01:43:44.000 Of course.

01:43:45.000 It's a great book slash movie, right?

01:43:46.000 The younger I look at Facebook and the mainstream media, the more I feel like one of the dolphins

01:43:50.000 from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, silently observing the silly humans unaware of their 0.88

01:43:54.000 impending doom.

01:43:55.000 So long and thanks for all the fish.

01:44:03.000 Ungoliant says, back then, being dishonored was a fate worse than death.

01:44:07.000 Honor was as important as life.

01:44:09.000 Yes.

01:44:09.000 Now this would be called your rep.

01:44:11.000 But people lie, cheat, and steal and get away with it.

01:44:13.000 Life goes on, and people still vote for them.

01:44:15.000 Yeah, well, because here's the thing.

01:44:16.000 It's not as if they valued life less at that point in history.

01:44:20.000 They just valued themselves less.

01:44:22.000 Yes.

01:44:23.000 Now we all put ourselves first.

01:44:25.000 Garhent says, please, please, Seamus, do Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl, but replace it with Jen Psaki doing Circle Back Girl. 0.62

01:44:32.000 I mean, it's perfect for spoofing.

01:44:34.000 Oh my goodness, that is hysterical.

01:44:35.000 I'm actually really strongly considering that.

01:44:37.000 Here's the thing, music videos are much more difficult and expensive and time consuming to make than the regular cartoons.

01:44:43.000 And that's not why I don't want to do it.

01:44:45.000 The reason I don't want to do it is because it might take so long that by the time it's done, that wouldn't be relevant anymore.

01:44:49.000 But I think that's really funny.

01:44:50.000 If there's a way to pull it off, I want to figure it out.

01:44:52.000 All right, here's the best super chat ever.

01:44:54.000 Eric Miller says, Pacifist Tim Pool trying to be Avatar Aang, uniting the parties to fight the corruption while not being on a side.

01:45:01.000 Tulsi fighting the corruption in her own party like Zuko.

01:45:04.000 Man, that show was awesome.

01:45:06.000 Yes, do you guys know what show that is?

01:45:08.000 The Last Airbender?

01:45:09.000 Yeah, that was a really great show.

01:45:12.000 It's too bad Legend of Korra was okay.

01:45:15.000 It's nowhere near as good as the original.

01:45:17.000 but I like I like Legend of Korra it was fun. Jeffrey Perrine says Biden does have a low-key

01:45:22.000 blurred halo in photos I'll find some and send them to your spin the UFO gmail I wrote last

01:45:28.000 month that can prove the bible I've been building a case will also be emailed. Interesting. Biden

01:45:33.000 has a halo? I've seen those pictures.

01:45:34.000 So the media is constantly telling me he's a devout Catholic, despite the fact that he doesn't go out practicing.

01:45:38.000 So they have the office of the president over behind him.

01:45:41.000 And in his photos, the photographer lines it up so you see the golden ring around his head.

01:45:44.000 Yeah, like light and everything.

01:45:45.000 It's not a religion, though.

01:45:46.000 No, no, no.

01:45:47.000 No, it's not.

01:45:49.000 David Merwin says, Tim, you rock.

01:45:50.000 Thank you very much.

01:45:51.000 Kay says, Tim, please look into these grifters.

01:45:54.000 I don't want to, I'm not going to name them.

01:45:56.000 All the boomers that Trump, that all the boomers that Trump's still prez that think he is.

01:46:01.000 Oh.

01:46:02.000 Yeah, there are a lot of people claiming that Trump is still secretly president.

01:46:05.000 Well, don't you know, Tim, we're all gonna know soon.

01:46:07.000 Trump literally, yeah, soon, soon.

01:46:09.000 They keep pushing it off another couple days.

01:46:10.000 Yeah, like a week.

01:46:11.000 It's like, dude, give it more time than that.

01:46:13.000 Be like, alright, next.

01:46:14.000 After like the third time I said like in a week, I'd be like, okay, it's actually gonna be a year, you guys.

01:46:18.000 It's actually, it's actually, they're never gonna tell you.

01:46:20.000 Just trust the plan.

01:46:21.000 Just believe me.

01:46:22.000 Just go with it.

01:46:22.000 There you go.

01:46:24.000 Andrew Lance says, hey Seamus, thank you.

01:46:26.000 Your conservatively libertarian Catholic worldview best reflects my own views.

01:46:32.000 You, in part, helped renew my faith.

01:46:34.000 In October I'm getting married and plan on having lots of Catholic babies. 0.99

01:46:37.000 That's how we win the culture.

01:46:39.000 God bless you.

01:46:40.000 That makes it all worth it.

01:46:41.000 Yep.

01:46:41.000 Really.

01:46:41.000 God bless you.

01:46:42.000 Blave Kaiser says, I agree, Ian.

01:46:44.000 The president doesn't matter.

01:46:46.000 After all, he is just a temporary employee.

01:46:47.000 Pretty sure a general said that on Ancient Aliens or something.

01:46:51.000 I mean, we brought this point up before, though, that the presidency controls the president, for the most part. 0.99

01:46:58.000 They get an office and they say, here's the folder, and they open it and go, Oh, damn. 0.95

01:47:03.000 And then they're like, I guess I can only do what, uh, you know, we have to do. 0.98

01:47:07.000 Trump on the other hand was like, no, and he like throws it out and he's like, I'm president.

01:47:10.000 I'm going to do what I want.

01:47:11.000 And they're like, but look at this war.

01:47:13.000 And he's like, no, he did what he want.

01:47:15.000 And they didn't like it.

01:47:17.000 Jim Jam says, what are your thoughts about this news about the National Guard that are still being sent to DC to root out racism, white supremacy, and disinformation?

01:47:24.000 I didn't hear that.

01:47:25.000 Is that true?

01:47:25.000 I didn't hear that either.

01:47:27.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:47:28.000 Not cool.

01:47:28.000 We'll look into it.

01:47:29.000 Sword and Scale says, Tim, did you see the DeSantis press conference today, and do you think anything will come out of Florida's war against Silicon Valley oligarchs?

01:47:38.000 I didn't see it.

01:47:38.000 I heard a little bit about it, but I'm not confident anything will happen because there was actually, I think it was in Texas, they, maybe not Texas, but there were some states that filed at the state level to make censorship, like social media censorship, not allowed.

01:47:50.000 And they didn't go anywhere.

01:47:51.000 But shout out to Sword and Scale.

01:47:53.000 It's like one of the biggest podcasts in the world, isn't it?

01:47:55.000 It's like a crime podcast.

01:47:57.000 Yeah.

01:47:58.000 Thanks for the super chat.

01:48:00.000 Xavier says, I am a gorilla.

01:48:02.000 Thank you for all you guys do.

01:48:03.000 Been watching you for at least five years now.

01:48:06.000 Would love if you could shout out my band's new single, Sleeping by Cascara.

01:48:10.000 It's progressive metal.

01:48:11.000 Well, there you go.

01:48:12.000 Sleeping by C-A-S-C-A-R-A. 0.98

01:48:14.000 I hope I pronounced it right.

01:48:16.000 And, uh, let me see if the... You know what?

01:48:19.000 Let me make sure I get the I Am A Gorilla right there t-shirt.

01:48:22.000 If you guys want your exclusive I Am A Gorilla t-shirt, you can go to TimCast.com, click shop, and boom, there it is.

01:48:29.000 And a lot of people got the misprinted one where his hands were white and his face was darkened.

01:48:34.000 Uh-huh.

01:48:35.000 But they fixed it, so thank you, Teespring, for fixing the problem.

01:48:39.000 All right, let's move on.

01:48:40.000 Mr. Roach says... Oh, it just jumped on me.

01:48:42.000 Thanks, YouTube.

01:48:43.000 I love it when they do that.

01:48:44.000 YouTube has this thing where it doesn't load all at once, and then it loads, and then I gotta spend 20 minutes trying to figure out where it went.

01:48:50.000 Mr. Roach says, Hello, Beanie Lord and the Parking Lot Rebel.

01:48:54.000 I listen to you every day and decided to get my very own subscription to your site.

01:48:57.000 I'm a regular guy from Ohio and play in a band called Someday Saturday.

01:49:01.000 What is your advice on creating good culture?

01:49:04.000 Being in a band, and writing music, and putting it on social media, and doing it to the best of your abilities.

01:49:10.000 Lead by example, and don't let fear rule your life.

01:49:13.000 And I like that, parking lot rabble. 1.00

01:49:15.000 I'm taking that, stealing that, thank you.

01:49:17.000 There you go.

01:49:18.000 Ryan says, Luke, Tim, serious question.

01:49:20.000 Ever a story in which government justified in using underhanded tactics?

01:49:24.000 Any justified covert ops?

01:49:26.000 Thanks for all you do, God bless.

01:49:27.000 I mean, wasn't like, raiding Bin Laden covert?

01:49:31.000 Well, it depends which version of the story you want to believe, since the government came out with many different versions of them.

01:49:36.000 The one where he used his wife as a human shield?

01:49:38.000 And then they were like, oh, actually, that didn't happen.

01:49:40.000 Exactly.

01:49:41.000 There's so many misnomers about that story, so I don't know what to make of it.

01:49:45.000 But I'm going to have to do some research on that, because, again, when everything's done in darkness, there's a lot of potential for it being done wrong.

01:49:54.000 So that's the biggest issue that I think still needs to be addressed.

01:49:57.000 Eric Miller says, third Super Chat, I was wondering if anyone ever thought about creating a video stockpile website for news.

01:50:03.000 A journalist can post a video on it and charge small fee, and an independent channel can buy it.

01:50:08.000 It's called, it was originally called Corbus, now Gallup does this, but it's been around for like a hundred years.

01:50:15.000 Well, not that long, but I, no, no, did I say Gallup?

01:50:19.000 I mean Getty, not Gallup.

01:50:20.000 Gallup is the polling institution.

01:50:21.000 Yeah, Getty.

01:50:22.000 So Getty takes photos and videos, and I think they recently bought Corbis, and I'm pretty sure they also do video.

01:50:27.000 And a lot of journalists do this.

01:50:29.000 They upload their videos and photos, and then people pay like $25 to $50 to buy the rights to it.

01:50:34.000 Here's the crazy thing.

01:50:35.000 Some people's whole job is they just travel the world and they film scenic places.

01:50:40.000 They'll put a camera up by like a lake in a mountain and just film for like three hours and then they'll put the footage on a website and say this footage is available for you know 25 bucks per license and they make tens of thousands of dollars off the one video because movies and documentaries and commercials want to use a small portion of it.

01:50:58.000 It's crazy.

01:50:59.000 There was one I saw where someone filmed like fireworks in Japan and ended up making like a million bucks.

01:51:04.000 That's all they did.

01:51:05.000 They brought a really nice camera out, got cinematic quality, put it up and said 25 bucks per use, and it was just fireworks, but it was so generic and easy to use, they made like a million plus dollars.

01:51:13.000 I was talking to one of these executives who runs one of these companies who told me about it, and there was one person who randomly stumbled upon Steven Tyler and took a photo of him, and it was like the only photo of him at a certain point or something, and they put it on a site and it sold for like millions of dollars.

01:51:26.000 So that stuff exists.

01:51:27.000 There you go.

01:51:28.000 Yeah, I mean, some movie companies contacted me, and my stuff was even in some movies.

01:51:34.000 I sold to... what channel was it?

01:51:38.000 It may have been National Geographic, I'm not sure.

01:51:40.000 This was during Hurricane Sandy in New York.

01:51:42.000 I was out filming the flooding and everything, and then some company bought a license to the footage.

01:51:48.000 Well, that's because it's not on YouTube.

01:51:50.000 Thumb Ugly says, eighth attempt, because YouTube, learn a trade, stock up, and lids for Ambivalent Dictator. 0.99

01:51:56.000 I give up on original comment attempts.

01:51:58.000 I'll join your site.

01:51:59.000 Ha ha! 0.86

01:51:59.000 There's a comment section. 0.86

01:52:01.000 So if you want to comment, a lot of people, you know, if you go to the members area, you'll just see the content.

01:52:05.000 But if you actually click the title or on the front page, click it, you'll see the comment section.

01:52:09.000 And that you can comment on, if you're a member.

01:52:11.000 And so then people can have these conversations. 0.99

01:52:13.000 Christian B. says, Tim sucks. 0.98

01:52:15.000 Freedom Tunes is the best. 0.99

01:52:16.000 JK, love you guys.

01:52:18.000 I don't know, Freedom Tunes is pretty good.

01:52:19.000 I don't know what he was joking about.

01:52:22.000 I love you, thank you.

01:52:23.000 Tim rocks.

01:52:23.000 Liam Mason says, can you give a British shout out to Captain Sir Tom Moore, who sadly passed

01:52:29.000 today at 100 years old.

01:52:31.000 He raised $32 million for the NHS last year and inspired a nation in these dark times.

01:52:35.000 Keep up the great work.

01:52:36.000 OG.

01:52:37.000 He was a World War II vet.

01:52:38.000 Yeah.

01:52:38.000 Brandon Swift, WCVB, News 3.

01:52:40.000 I've met him before.

01:52:40.000 Do you think Tim Dillon would make a good president Tim Dillon 2024? I like that idea

01:52:44.000 I've met him before he's a funny guy zombie tanker 19 cases Dan Crenshaw 2024

01:52:50.000 You know, he gets ragged on a lot by a lot of people and I don't agree with him a lot of things

01:52:56.000 But I do I do think he's alright I disagree with him on a lot.

01:52:59.000 I respect that.

01:52:59.000 The red flag laws, the pro-war stuff.

01:53:02.000 Those are pretty big issues.

01:53:04.000 Those are serious issues.

01:53:05.000 But I don't think he's a bad guy.

01:53:07.000 I think he genuinely believes it, and I think he'll engage in an honest way, and you'll be like, dude, I really disagree with you.

01:53:12.000 But you look at some of these politicians, and the ones that are pro-war aren't even really pro-war.

01:53:17.000 They're just like, do I get paid?

01:53:19.000 Sure!

01:53:20.000 Stamp.

01:53:23.000 PardonWill says, how much to put my application and CV into Timcast LLC?

01:53:28.000 There is no such thing.

01:53:30.000 And I don't know.

01:53:31.000 Well, it doesn't cost money to do it, but people email that stuff all the time.

01:53:35.000 And man, it's really hard because I mentioned this before.

01:53:41.000 We had a really difficult time with all of the membership signups we got for TimCast.com, and the site is only a few weeks old.

01:53:47.000 We're redoing the format.

01:53:49.000 We're expanding the amount of content we produce.

01:53:51.000 We're probably going to be making multiple websites, hiring a hundred people, doing more shows and expanding, and becoming an actual large network.

01:53:58.000 And the only thing stopping us is time.

01:54:01.000 Thanks to all the people who have signed up, we're now in a position where we can actually start growing and expanding in a very powerful way.

01:54:06.000 So go to TimCast.com, become a member, but we're definitely gonna be hiring as well.

01:54:10.000 Gunstar1 says, would you have Jimmy Dore on your show anytime?

01:54:14.000 The issue is traveling.

01:54:15.000 Dude's in California.

01:54:16.000 But Jimmy's awesome.

01:54:18.000 And I told the story before, we're from the exact same place.

01:54:22.000 No joke.

01:54:22.000 Like, so he's way older than I am.

01:54:25.000 But when I was like a little kid, and he was in his 20s, I think, I don't know, we lived within like two or three blocks of each other.

01:54:33.000 It was crazy.

01:54:34.000 When I first actually met him in person, You know, I was like, I'm from Chicago.

01:54:37.000 And he's like, oh, no kidding.

01:54:38.000 Me too.

01:54:38.000 Where at?

01:54:39.000 And I was like, Midway Air.

01:54:39.000 And he goes, get out of here.

01:54:40.000 Where at?

01:54:41.000 And I was like, by Vidim Park.

01:54:42.000 And he goes, I lived right next to it.

01:54:43.000 And I was like, get out of here, dude.

01:54:45.000 That's crazy.

01:54:46.000 That's hilarious.

01:54:46.000 That's where we lived when I was a little kid.

01:54:47.000 I know, right, right, right.

01:54:49.000 Yeah, me, you, and Jimmy Dore.

01:54:51.000 Were you there when Jimmy Dore... I was there when Jimmy Dore spit on Alex Jones.

01:54:55.000 Yes.

01:54:55.000 Yeah, we were there.

01:54:56.000 We're just sitting there watching the whole thing.

01:54:58.000 We're like, my goodness, what's going on here?

01:55:00.000 We saw Alex Jones, because we were hanging out.

01:55:02.000 I forgot who we were hanging out with.

01:55:04.000 We were at the RNC.

01:55:05.000 Yeah, we were at the RNC, but we were hanging out with another news group.

01:55:08.000 And we saw Alex Jones walk by.

01:55:10.000 I was like, oh man, he's going to do something.

01:55:12.000 And the Young Turks were filming there.

01:55:13.000 He certainly did.

01:55:14.000 Stephen Colbert had a Roomba with a live camera there.

01:55:18.000 And yeah, then there was a lot of fireworks.

01:55:21.000 Sword and Scale says, I just paid AP to publish a press release about Tim Pool announcing she's trans.

01:55:26.000 Please announce this since I paid for it.

01:55:28.000 That's crazy.

01:55:29.000 I'm very proud of you.

01:55:31.000 I thought AP was a news organization, but they are willing to just take money from anybody and post anything?

01:55:37.000 That's what the media does, Ian!

01:55:39.000 That's the mainstream media!

01:55:41.000 That's the definition of them!

01:55:42.000 Is AP news guarded?

01:55:44.000 Of course! 0.98

01:55:45.000 But they'll post junk? 0.96

01:55:46.000 But they straight-up said this is a paid press release. 0.89

01:55:50.000 Do news organizations do that on the regular?

01:55:52.000 Duh! 1.00

01:55:54.000 Yes!

01:55:54.000 How can you be a justifiable news organization?

01:55:57.000 Ian just got red-pilled, you guys.

01:55:58.000 Do you know what an advertorial is?

01:56:02.000 Advertorial, it's brilliant, right?

01:56:04.000 It's where news organizations write favorable articles for companies and make it look like a regular news article.

01:56:11.000 Advertorial, like editorial and advertisement combined.

01:56:14.000 So you'll go to a website, and I think BuzzFeed is all the time.

01:56:18.000 It'll be like, these are the best dish sets you'll ever use, and you'll read it, and at the bottom it says, this is an advertisement paid for, and it looks like a normal article.

01:56:25.000 So I could be like, hey AP, here's an article that says Tim Poole stinks, I'd pay him a bunch of money, would they post that?

01:56:31.000 Yes, but it says at the top this is a paid post by this organization.

01:56:34.000 That's insanity.

01:56:34.000 NBC News did a whole segment literally promoting tequila.

01:56:38.000 It was disgusting the way they were doing it.

01:56:40.000 It looked like a total news segment.

01:56:41.000 It was on Twitter, but it was like, yeah, it was so refreshing and good.

01:56:46.000 You know what I get a lot?

01:56:47.000 I get people saying, would you interview my company?

01:56:51.000 And I say, I think your company is interesting, but no.

01:56:55.000 Then they say, can we pay you to do an interview with the CEO of this company to help promote his product?

01:57:01.000 And I'm like, no, like that's not interesting to anybody.

01:57:05.000 And I would rather just sleep all day than take money to just interview a guy so he can promote his company.

01:57:11.000 You know what I mean?

01:57:12.000 I won't, I won't do it.

01:57:13.000 We have people on who promote their companies, like.

01:57:15.000 Go to Freedom Tunes.

01:57:16.000 YouTube.com slash Freedom Tunes, you guys.

01:57:18.000 But it's because Seamus produces culturally relevant content and he has a channel you and so we definitely have

01:57:24.000 people on who promote their Stuff promote their books, but there are companies that

01:57:27.000 aren't culturally relevant. They'll like, you know, we make You know rulers that are the best rulers for drawing

01:57:33.000 pictures Can we come on your show and I'll pay you and I'm like no

01:57:36.000 Like dude, if you want to do a sponsor spot, we can talk about a sponsor spot

01:57:39.000 I can promote rulers if I think the rulers actually good But some people actually want to have the show and I'm like

01:57:44.000 that's a lot of companies do it. Okay?

01:57:46.000 A lot of companies do it.

01:57:48.000 People don't realize this.

01:57:50.000 You might see an interview on TV, and it's a guy talking about a very important product or something, and they're paying the company to have him on the show.

01:57:57.000 CNN does stuff like this all the time, where they actually run shows that are paid for by governments, by companies.

01:58:03.000 Like, they did one called Bahrain Business Friendly, and it was heavily criticized, Glenn Greenwald was criticizing it, where basically Bahrain paid to publish favorable coverage of Bahrain as kind of a news segment that promoted the country's tourism.

01:58:16.000 Meanwhile, there was, like, riots going on, and it was during the Arab Spring, so they were heavily criticized for it.

01:58:22.000 There you go, that's what media does.

01:58:23.000 And they'll be like, something, something, something, fake news.

01:58:25.000 By the way, this is a paid advertisement.

01:58:27.000 Well, it's like saying, I'm going to murder that person in a video game.

01:58:30.000 Like if they do it and I mean, and they say it, I mean, there's an argument to be made there, but a lot of these people do it and they don't even say it. 0.79

01:58:38.000 What if I was like, I don't believe this, but, and then gave you like violent instructions to go kill people?

01:58:43.000 There there is a you ever see but I said I didn't believe it you ever see the show the that's like the whitest guys 1.00

01:58:47.000 You know, I think it's called the whitest. Yeah, you know Yes, this is I remember the explains don't do this. This is

01:58:53.000 a way you could he explains how to attack the White House Yes, and then he's very it's it was hilarious and I can't

01:58:59.000 believe they did it He's like you could tell my lawyers have informed me that I

01:59:02.000 can't tell you To go to the White House and look at and and and go in this

01:59:06.000 direction and now I can't tell you to then I was like that's crazy. Yeah, dude is crazy 0.99

01:59:12.000 Alright, let's see. 0.92

01:59:15.000 Ryan Cronin says, Ian for president.

01:59:17.000 JK, that would be nuts, but Ian's okay.

01:59:19.000 Would be to your first directive.

01:59:21.000 Would be your first executive order.

01:59:22.000 Joe Biden has 43 executive orders.

01:59:25.000 What's your first executive order as president, Ian?

01:59:29.000 Well, I don't know how much power I would have, but I would like to... You can sign into law whatever you want.

01:59:33.000 It's an executive order.

01:59:34.000 I would like to audit the Federal Reserve.

01:59:36.000 I love it.

01:59:36.000 Send in the FBI to just storm the building.

01:59:38.000 You know what mine would be?

01:59:40.000 It would be that from now on, cilantro, fennel, anise, caraway, yes, those, and coriander, I guess, but that's basically the same thing as cilantro.

01:59:50.000 Those are now schedule one.

01:59:51.000 I back this completely.

01:59:52.000 Uh-oh.

01:59:53.000 100%.

01:59:53.000 Yep.

01:59:54.000 All of those.

01:59:55.000 Gone.

01:59:55.000 Oh, yeah.

01:59:56.000 Yeah.

01:59:56.000 I'm gonna make you a fennel, coriander, cilantro dish.

02:00:00.000 Yeah, he'd love that.

02:00:01.000 Dip.

02:00:01.000 He'd love it.

02:00:03.000 David Phillips says, are you afraid to talk about election fraud due to your channel being shut down?

02:00:07.000 No, because we talk about it a lot.

02:00:11.000 We've talked about it a whole lot.

02:00:12.000 I've done like a month's worth of content on it.

02:00:15.000 I don't know what else to say.

02:00:15.000 I don't know.

02:00:17.000 But we're at this point where it's like, what do we do?

02:00:18.000 What do we talk about?

02:00:19.000 Media Matters tried smearing us.

02:00:21.000 That was really funny.

02:00:21.000 That was fun.

02:00:22.000 What did Media Matters say?

02:00:23.000 Do you remember when Media Matters... So, Jack Murphy is on the show.

02:00:26.000 Yeah.

02:00:26.000 And he said, Donald Trump gave concrete examples of voter fraud.

02:00:30.000 Think, you know, Matt Brennan stuff, like, you know.

02:00:32.000 That was his comment.

02:00:35.000 Media Matters claimed that we were pushing the theories simply because Jack Murphy said Donald Trump said.

02:00:40.000 Isn't that insane?

02:00:41.000 What?

02:00:42.000 Donald Trump said a thing!

02:00:43.000 Aha! 0.94

02:00:44.000 You pushed it!

02:00:44.000 No we didn't!

02:00:45.000 We referenced Trump said it!

02:00:46.000 You did the same thing when you referenced we said it!

02:00:48.000 I'm disappointed, Jack.

02:00:48.000 Are you pushing it?

02:00:49.000 And the best part was they claimed that our videos were demonetized.

02:00:53.000 Never happened.

02:00:54.000 They were like, all of these videos.

02:00:55.000 So they referenced five videos.

02:00:58.000 Four of them got removed because they were like very serious claims about fraud.

02:01:01.000 And ours was like, Donald Trump said a thing and they tried smearing us.

02:01:05.000 So YouTube was like, what, what is it?

02:01:07.000 Like, this is fine.

02:01:08.000 Like they didn't do anything.

02:01:09.000 So Media Matters, like four of the five videos were removed.

02:01:11.000 All had their ads removed.

02:01:12.000 Our ads weren't removed!

02:01:13.000 We didn't do anything!

02:01:17.000 I emailed them and demanded a retraction and they didn't do it!

02:01:20.000 And then I followed up saying, I'd like a retraction, and they still didn't do it!

02:01:24.000 Because what happens now is, another article come out and being like, Tim Pool, whose videos have been, you know, stricken down by YouTube in the past for rule violations, that's what they do.

02:01:32.000 That just means they're making interesting content.

02:01:34.000 That's right.

02:01:35.000 It's just, it was not true.

02:01:36.000 Our ads were not removed.

02:01:39.000 On any video ever?

02:01:40.000 Yeah, exactly.

02:01:42.000 But they were saying that we got in trouble with YouTube or something.

02:01:45.000 Yeah.

02:01:45.000 YouTube did not punish us in any way.

02:01:47.000 The video is fully monetized.

02:01:48.000 The podcast is fully monetized.

02:01:50.000 We didn't have any issues.

02:01:51.000 It's got a quarter of a million views.

02:01:53.000 All that happened was Jack Murphy was like, Donald Trump said this.

02:01:56.000 And they were like, I'm so disappointed with Jack, with Jack Murphy, the other Illinois boys.

02:02:01.000 If you go around and say like a company's losing money and they're not, that's dangerous.

02:02:06.000 That's like libel or something.

02:02:09.000 I don't know if it's liable, but that is a concrete thing to reference.

02:02:12.000 I mean, that is easily provable or disprovable.

02:02:15.000 That's not just a matter of opinion.

02:02:16.000 What they said is literally not true.

02:02:19.000 The podcast never had... It's taken away.

02:02:23.000 And so I emailed them like, yo, what's up with this?

02:02:25.000 And I, yeah.

02:02:26.000 I think if you state that a company's losing revenue, that's like a, that's like a crime.

02:02:30.000 Well, they said YouTube has removed ads from the videos we named.

02:02:33.000 Indicating that the company's losing revenue.

02:02:35.000 Maybe there's some kind of like semantic argument, but they ignored it anyway.

02:02:39.000 I don't care.

02:02:39.000 Whatever.

02:02:40.000 Like, you know, for no reason they included our show in this smear.

02:02:45.000 And the other videos did get removed because they were saying very bold claims and making hard assertions that we don't make.

02:02:51.000 Even when we had Matt Brainerd on the show, Matt Brainerd didn't make any definitive statements.

02:02:54.000 He talked about what he's seen, what his evidence is, and what he would like to see, you know, in court.

02:02:58.000 And we, it was, there you go, I agree.

02:03:00.000 These other channels are like making definitive statements and they got taken down.

02:03:03.000 Why include us in that?

02:03:04.000 I even emailed being like, none of what you've accused of these other channels pertains to us in any way.

02:03:09.000 We actually agree with what you said in terms of, you know, like voter fraud exists.

02:03:14.000 It's not Bill Barr said this and we haven't had adjudication.

02:03:17.000 I'm like, what's the problem?

02:03:18.000 They just, they just want to go after everybody and whatever.

02:03:21.000 I don't, I don't, I don't care to talk about it.

02:03:23.000 You know, whatever.

02:03:24.000 Demolisher says, hi to Seamus.

02:03:26.000 I named my son Seamus.

02:03:27.000 Don't hear it every day.

02:03:29.000 Best name ever.

02:03:30.000 God bless you.

02:03:30.000 Good.

02:03:30.000 I'm glad.

02:03:31.000 It's a good name.

02:03:33.000 My condolences to your children, though.

02:03:34.000 It's a rough one.

02:03:35.000 It's a rough one to have to wear every day.

02:03:36.000 People mispronounce it all the time.

02:03:38.000 I consider that to be a microaggression.

02:03:39.000 Indeed.

02:03:39.000 I read an article about how it is a mark of privilege to not have your name mispronounced.

02:03:44.000 I was like, at least I got one.

02:03:45.000 I know, right?

02:03:45.000 At least I have one impression.

02:03:46.000 Seamus Coughlin.

02:03:47.000 Coughlin.

02:03:48.000 The worst I ever got was Seamstress Coughlin at a video festival in high school. 1.00

02:03:52.000 I had a friend named Sean.

02:03:54.000 I had a friend named Sean in grade school, and one substitute teacher called him Seen.

02:03:57.000 Seen, yeah.

02:03:57.000 He's not here to be seen.

02:03:58.000 He's not here to be seen.

02:03:59.000 But I was like a little kid, I'm like, did you not know that's how you say Sean?

02:04:03.000 I'm a little kid and I knew that.

02:04:05.000 Like whatever man.

02:04:06.000 Yeah, that is rough.

02:04:07.000 Alright, here we go. 0.97

02:04:09.000 Vosh says no anus, no peace. 0.97

02:04:12.000 No.

02:04:13.000 Delicious Honey says thanks Tim for an awesome show.

02:04:14.000 It's always entertaining and informative.

02:04:15.000 Thank you.

02:04:16.000 Heather Corrin says, coriander is cilantro, FYI.

02:04:18.000 Also, please know I will lose my mind.

02:04:20.000 I need pho, salsa, guacamole, etc.

02:04:22.000 You know what the best guacamole is?

02:04:24.000 I used to get this made all the time.

02:04:25.000 You go to these places, they make the guacamole in front of you.

02:04:27.000 No cilantro.

02:04:28.000 Extra lime juice, extra onion, no cilantro.

02:04:34.000 I think you're missing out on the cilantro.

02:04:36.000 No, I think it's disgusting.

02:04:37.000 It's amazing.

02:04:38.000 So, coriander is the plant that the cilantro leaf grows on?

02:04:41.000 It's the stem.

02:04:41.000 Right, right, right.

02:04:42.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:04:42.000 It's like the stem parts and then coriander.

02:04:44.000 That's why I said it's basically the same thing.

02:04:45.000 There is actually a gene that makes some people think that cilantro tastes like soap.

02:04:49.000 I do not have that.

02:04:49.000 It does taste like... Excuse me?

02:04:50.000 Yeah.

02:04:51.000 It doesn't taste good.

02:04:51.000 It's medicine, but you gotta, like, trick your body into starting to crave it.

02:04:55.000 I don't think cilantro tastes like soap.

02:04:57.000 I've never understood it.

02:04:58.000 I think cilantro is overpowering and it tastes bad.

02:05:00.000 I don't like it.

02:05:01.000 Yeah.

02:05:01.000 It's like medicine.

02:05:02.000 I don't know.

02:05:02.000 People like it.

02:05:03.000 I don't.

02:05:03.000 It's so good for you.

02:05:04.000 Dan Murphy says, you just lost support. 1.00

02:05:06.000 Your spice supremacy sucks. 1.00

02:05:08.000 I've seen him do it. 1.00

02:05:09.000 He wants to keep the vampires away.

02:05:09.000 Basil's pretty good.

02:05:10.000 Oh, garlic.

02:05:11.000 Bay leaves are great.

02:05:11.000 Garlic on everything.

02:05:12.000 Top.

02:05:13.000 What's your, like, is it one of your top?

02:05:14.000 Garlic?

02:05:15.000 Yeah.

02:05:15.000 I will put garlic on a pancake.

02:05:18.000 I've seen him do it.

02:05:19.000 He wants to keep the vampires away.

02:05:21.000 He's making all these Daywalker analogies.

02:05:22.000 Do you ever eat it raw?

02:05:24.000 Garlic?

02:05:24.000 Yeah, it's intense.

02:05:25.000 No, but you know what I love doing is when you make a pizza, you put whole cloves on it, and bake it, and then they become soft, and they just, oh, garlic.

02:05:33.000 Garlic's the best.

02:05:33.000 Yeah, you can roast garlic.

02:05:34.000 You take a full clove of garlic, you slice off the top part, and then you just put it on pans, and then when it comes out, you squeeze them out of their shell, basically, and you have this soft, garlicky goo.

02:05:44.000 Garlic?

02:05:45.000 Actually, you know what?

02:05:46.000 Mandatory garlic.

02:05:47.000 Yes.

02:05:48.000 Second executive order.

02:05:49.000 Everybody gets garlic.

02:05:50.000 They come to your house.

02:05:51.000 You do have to fight the vampires.

02:05:52.000 We're ending the pandemic.

02:05:53.000 Government garlic.

02:05:54.000 Garlic for everyone.

02:05:55.000 Garlic just, there you go.

02:05:56.000 And it's good for you.

02:05:58.000 Skyrim96 says you guys should have Upchurch on your show.

02:06:03.000 He's like Tom McDonald, but he's at the forefront of country rap and will go down in music history.

02:06:08.000 Interesting.

02:06:10.000 Alright, let's see, we'll just do a couple more here.

02:06:11.000 Great job, Tim Pool team.

02:06:12.000 Don't say that, you're making his head big.

02:06:14.000 He demanded a bowl of only green M&Ms.

02:06:15.000 as a regular always brings the show to a higher level.

02:06:17.000 Great job, Tim Pool team.

02:06:18.000 Don't say that, you're making his head big.

02:06:22.000 He demanded a bowl of only green M&Ms.

02:06:25.000 I deserve them.

02:06:26.000 He totally did.

02:06:27.000 At least I'll get to eat.

02:06:31.000 You know what he said the last time I was here?

02:06:33.000 Some of them had W's on them.

02:06:34.000 I'll tell you an interesting story.

02:06:36.000 I'll tell you an interesting story.

02:06:38.000 So that whole idea that rock stars demand crazy things because they're egotistical is a myth.

02:06:44.000 It started because, I can't remember the name of the band, but you guys probably listening might know this.

02:06:47.000 This band, a very famous one, I can't remember which one, had in their contract for their tour Right somewhere in the middle was that a bowl of M&M's with all the brown M&M's removed will be made available for the band.

02:07:03.000 And a lot of people in the media saw that and thought it was that this band is egotistical and demanding and it makes no sense.

02:07:10.000 The reality was apparently the band had been playing on stage and the stage collapsed and people got injured.

02:07:16.000 And so the idea was, put something in the contract that's seemingly nonsensical, because if they don't do it, it means they didn't read your contract.

02:07:24.000 Oh wow, that is fascinating.

02:07:25.000 If they show up and saw the M&Ms weren't there, it wasn't that they wanted M&Ms, it was that if they skimped on something as dumb as picking out M&Ms, what did they also skimp out on?

02:07:34.000 Supports for the stage?

02:07:35.000 Supports for the audience?

02:07:36.000 Lights?

02:07:37.000 Fire extinguishers?

02:07:40.000 Partly to explain why they have these weird riders sometimes is because when you're a performer, your body is a tool.

02:07:45.000 You're using your body like a tool to have a very specific task, like making a sound that's very challenging for the human body to make.

02:07:52.000 And if it isn't in the right, you know, mindset or physical place, it's hard to make that sound.

02:07:58.000 And then the production suffers.

02:08:00.000 So you might want, like, no aspartame.

02:08:02.000 No, you know, I want just salmon.

02:08:05.000 And thanks for the shout out.

02:08:06.000 We'll see what happens.

02:08:08.000 AlternativeJK says, after noticing both you and Luke have a habit of mispronouncing things, you should make a shirt that says Potato Pot-Tot-Toe.

02:08:16.000 You get the idea.

02:08:17.000 I'll be open to help design the shirt as well.

02:08:21.000 Well, I'm really bad with pronouncing names.

02:08:22.000 I love it.

02:08:23.000 That's about it.

02:08:23.000 I just scream through them.

02:08:25.000 No, Luke doesn't mispronounce words.

02:08:27.000 Luke accidentally chooses similar sounding words.

02:08:30.000 Yeah, it happens.

02:08:30.000 Like fraudulent slip instead of Freudian slip.

02:08:32.000 Okay, Luke's defense, English is not his first language.

02:08:35.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:08:35.000 Thank you, Lydia.

02:08:36.000 And also, Luke's bringing the fire on plenty other issues.

02:08:39.000 Yeah, I mean, yeah.

02:08:40.000 Give him a break.

02:08:40.000 Yeah.

02:08:41.000 Jan.

02:08:42.000 Stankowicz says, Luke, do you ship your shirts internationally?

02:08:46.000 By the way, I believe Luke is Lukasz in Polish, pronounced Wukash.

02:08:50.000 Freedom Tunes is my fav guest on Timcast.

02:08:52.000 That's what it is in the Polish Bible.

02:08:55.000 And some of the stuff is shippable internationally, but a lot of the stuff is getting banned.

02:09:00.000 I never wanted to have limited supplies of shirts, but they're forcing me to do so because they're taking so many of them down.

02:09:06.000 Some of them do ship internationally, some of them don't.

02:09:08.000 You have to go on TheBestPoliticalShirts.com to find out.

02:09:13.000 Ladies and gentlemen, go to TimCast.com, shop, click shop, and you can see the I Am A Gorilla t-shirt.

02:09:18.000 Some have asked about the I Am A Gorilla Love Yourself shirt.

02:09:21.000 We are working on this.

02:09:21.000 We also have a shirt for Ian coming soon.

02:09:23.000 Oh, I saw a preview.

02:09:24.000 It'll be fun.

02:09:25.000 And we're working on one for Luke about, you know, mispronouncing words.

02:09:28.000 We might have to get some copyright in there.

02:09:30.000 Get some contract.

02:09:31.000 Alright, we'll figure it out.

02:09:32.000 Or we just won't do it.

02:09:33.000 You know, whatever.

02:09:34.000 But go to TimCast.com, become a member because we're gonna, after this wraps up, we're gonna record a bonus episode for all of you members about life after death and religion and philosophy and have probably a very interesting and fun conversation that I guess wouldn't fit because we've probably gone for a really long time.

02:09:50.000 So go to TimCast.com, become a member.

02:09:52.000 We're gonna record right after this.

02:09:53.000 Which is very soon.

02:09:55.000 Come back tomorrow night, live at 8 p.m.

02:09:57.000 Well, we will be here, and we'll be doing the show once again.

02:09:59.000 You can follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Mines at TimCast.

02:10:02.000 My other YouTube channels are YouTube.com slash TimCast, YouTube.com slash TimCastNews.

02:10:06.000 If you're listening on the podcast, like iTunes or Spotify, leave us a good review, share the podcast, help us grow, and Seamus, you also produce things that people can watch.

02:10:15.000 Yes, I make cartoons.

02:10:16.000 So if you want to check out YouTube.com slash Freedom Tunes and watch those, they're a lot of fun to make.

02:10:21.000 We make at least one a week, sometimes two a week.

02:10:24.000 And we've been expanding and growing and that's fantastic.

02:10:26.000 But because we have to crank out these shorter videos, sometimes even when they are monetized, we don't pull a whole lot of money out of them.

02:10:31.000 So if you want to help us create more and you like them, you can also check out Patreon.com slash Freedom Tunes.

02:10:38.000 I am the parking lot rabble, and also an independent journalist.

02:10:42.000 And if you want to be involved with what I do, you can on wearechange.org forward slash donate.

02:10:47.000 Today I'm also wearing another We Are Change exclusive t-shirt that is a pie chart and is censored with green tape.

02:10:54.000 And it says in a family-friendly way, ish you know, which is represented here, ish you know, you don't know, and then in the bottom here, ish you don't know, you don't know, which is the larger pie representation here.

02:11:07.000 It's the universe.

02:11:08.000 It's amazing.

02:11:08.000 Exactly.

02:11:09.000 So if you want one of those, you can on thebestpoliticalshirts.com.

02:11:13.000 Thank you again so much for supporting me.

02:11:15.000 And you can follow all of my paid advertisements on the AP.

02:11:18.000 Yes, indeed.

02:11:20.000 I'm just kidding about that.

02:11:21.000 I would not do that.

02:11:22.000 Hey, you can follow me on the Internet at Ian Cross on Twitter, YouTube and Instagram.

02:11:27.000 Actually, you can follow me on Twitter because I go live during the day, somewhere between one and three o'clock on Twitch, where I do a game streaming session and hang out with everybody and chat it up.

02:11:37.000 Well, I'm going to be locking in an exact time.

02:11:39.000 It'll probably be around 2 p.m., but this week it's going to be thereabouts.

02:11:42.000 So follow me on Twitter and I'll let you know when I go live.

02:11:44.000 Very cool.

02:11:45.000 And I am Sour Patch Lids on Twitter and Mines, and Real Sour Patch Lids on Instagram and Gab.
