Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Biden Admin Calls For Extreme Censorship Cross Platform w-Forrest Cooper

00:00:00.000 you The Biden admin just keeps saying the quiet part loud

00:00:15.000 Jen Psaki recently said that they were working with Facebook to flag misinformation, as if the government has the authority to determine what is true and what is false.

00:00:23.000 They don't.

00:00:24.000 Well, that's exactly what's happening.

00:00:26.000 Facebook is taking people down.

00:00:27.000 And this is basically the government admitting that they are using private actors to censor American speech.

00:00:27.000 They've been censoring.

00:00:32.000 And then she put her foot in her mouth again, or I guess actually took it out because they're saying the quiet part loud.

00:00:39.000 Jen Psaki came out and said that you should be banned from all platforms for misinformation if you're banned on one.

00:00:47.000 And this was such an alarming statement to come from the federal government, from the executive branch, that even leftists are going, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:00:55.000 I mean, but a private company, but come on there.

00:00:58.000 Yeah, this is what we've all been warning about for a long time, but I think that too many people on the left were like, well, it's not negatively impacting me, so I'm gonna be fine with it, and now it's got to the point where the government is straight up like, if you say something bad, you should be purged from the internet completely!

00:01:13.000 And that's where we're at.

00:01:14.000 So we're going to talk about that.

00:01:15.000 We're going to chill.

00:01:16.000 We've got a lot of stuff to talk about, man, with government corruption.

00:01:19.000 We've got war issues to talk about with what's going on with South Africa and Cuba, of course.

00:01:24.000 But then we've also got the threat of Balkanization here in the U.S., so I actually did the math. 0.96

00:01:30.000 Yesterday we talked about the percentage of people in the U.S.

00:01:33.000 who wanted to balkanize, and I said it was over 35%.

00:01:35.000 I did the hard numbers because I mentioned that each region is not the same population.

00:01:42.000 I went through the populations, multiplied, divided, all that good stuff.

00:01:48.000 37.2% based on this poll of the United States wants it to balkanize.

00:01:51.000 That is more than a third.

00:01:52.000 That is substantial in my opinion.

00:01:54.000 So we gotta talk about what this means, and it's Friday, so we're usually chillin'.

00:01:57.000 So, of course, we are hanging out today with Forrest Cooper of Recoil Mag.

00:02:01.000 Do you wanna introduce yourself?

00:02:01.000 Hey.

00:02:02.000 Yeah, so my name is Forrest Cooper.

00:02:04.000 As you said, I am with Recoil Magazine.

00:02:07.000 Here is an example of what we do.

00:02:09.000 Yeah, gun stuff, right?

00:02:09.000 Guns!

00:02:11.000 So we got Chris Chang on the cover.

00:02:12.000 Shoutout to Chris Chang.

00:02:14.000 If you're familiar with people like Maj Touré, you kind of know the people that we deal with.

00:02:18.000 So we are a gun lifestyle magazine.

00:02:21.000 And then I myself, background in military special operations, and now I am here and the editor of a team that I really enjoy.

00:02:30.000 You've been on the ground a lot of these riots, too, haven't you?

00:02:32.000 Yeah, well, I live in Minneapolis, so I think being on the ground is just... You live in the riots!

00:02:36.000 Obligatory, I guess?

00:02:38.000 Yeah, and don't worry, you know, in case you haven't known, they're still going on in Minneapolis.

00:02:43.000 They're just... no one wants to talk about it anymore because it's old news.

00:02:46.000 Yeah.

00:02:46.000 Or it's not good for...

00:02:48.000 You don't get anything out of it, I guess?

00:02:50.000 We'll get into all that stuff.

00:02:51.000 We got Ian chillin'.

00:02:52.000 What's up, dawg?

00:02:53.000 Ian Crossland over here.

00:02:55.000 Glad you're here for us.

00:02:55.000 Happy to be here.

00:02:56.000 We did a little adventure earlier picking berries.

00:02:59.000 Oh yeah, you guys were picking berries.

00:03:00.000 We're making wine wine.

00:03:01.000 Yeah, wine berry wine.

00:03:03.000 It's actually just called wine wine.

00:03:06.000 Like a very normal thing that people make.

00:03:08.000 Wine, wine, with wine berries.

00:03:09.000 Forrest went deep.

00:03:10.000 He went beyond the perimeter to get the real, where all the berries really were.

00:03:14.000 And they're like juicy and plump.

00:03:17.000 Oh man.

00:03:18.000 Yeah, I had to wash my hands for a solid minute.

00:03:21.000 And yes, of course, the ranger did go into the woods.

00:03:26.000 To find berries.

00:03:27.000 Yeah, you know, shout out to Mountain Faze.

00:03:29.000 I don't want to starve to death.

00:03:30.000 Right on.

00:03:31.000 Good policy.

00:03:32.000 I am also here in the corner.

00:03:33.000 I got my little cameo earlier.

00:03:34.000 And I'm excited for tonight's conversation.

00:03:36.000 Always love having Forrest here.

00:03:38.000 I know we look like siblings.

00:03:39.000 You don't need to say it.

00:03:40.000 It's true.

00:03:41.000 We'll see how the conversation goes tonight.

00:03:43.000 Before we get started, my friends, go over to TimCast.com.

00:03:45.000 Become a member.

00:03:46.000 You'll get access to exclusive members-only segments of the TimCast IRL podcast, as well as you'll be supporting our intrepid and fearless journalists as they begin reporting on the affairs of the world.

00:03:57.000 However, what you see on the screen is something special.

00:04:00.000 This is the new website, which is coming up, and there's a lot of things that you can't actually see just from the image.

00:04:07.000 But this is—our soft target is Monday.

00:04:10.000 A lot of the hard work and heavy lifting will be done over the weekend, and then by Monday, this should be live.

00:04:14.000 You can see how amazing it is, the articles.

00:04:16.000 Excuse me.

00:04:17.000 We have on the left here, you can see, okay, you can't see too much, but we have a channel section.

00:04:21.000 My head is blocking it.

00:04:23.000 And all of our different shows are going to appear there.

00:04:25.000 And this site's going to be fantastic.

00:04:26.000 One of the plans that we have is if you are a member and you don't like one of the shows, you can just literally click a button in your settings and it won't appear on your, on the front page anymore.

00:04:34.000 So you can actually curate the topics you care about, like tech news or culture or politics.

00:04:39.000 So you could actually set the website to only see, like, culture war stuff about movies and video games, or only politics, or both, or the paranormal stuff.

00:04:47.000 We're building this to be, like, a multi-function news and media website with tons of shows.

00:04:51.000 And that's because, you know, when we launched the website, I was like, we could get banned from all of these payment, you know, these subscription services, so we better make our own website.

00:05:00.000 And then all of a sudden, we got so many people signing up right away that I was like, okay, this is a lot of people.

00:05:05.000 We gotta do way more than just have, like, this We're doing all this awesome stuff.

00:05:10.000 That's what it's gonna look like.

00:05:11.000 There's gonna be a lot more.

00:05:11.000 We've got, I think, six or seven writers already.

00:05:13.000 We hired, like, four more people to run the vlogs.

00:05:16.000 We're gonna have multiple shows.

00:05:17.000 this like really powerful, in my opinion it's revolutionary, it's gonna be much like YouTube

00:05:17.000 We're gonna have animators.

00:05:22.000 subscriptions combined with news. We're doing all this awesome stuff, that's what it's gonna

00:05:25.000 look like, there's gonna be a lot more, we've got I think 6 or 7 writers already, we hired

00:05:30.000 like 4 more people to run the vlogs, we're gonna have multiple shows, we're gonna have

00:05:34.000 animators, we have a video game in the works, it's crazy.

00:05:36.000 We're, we're, we're, it's crazy.

00:05:37.000 It's all thanks to you guys who are members.

00:05:38.000 You guys rock.

00:05:40.000 You can see it here.

00:05:41.000 This is what being a member is helping build.

00:05:43.000 And you can see some of the stories there.

00:05:44.000 We got Ron DeSantis calls on Cuban military to rebel.

00:05:47.000 We got tons of work being done.

00:05:49.000 So again, sign up.

00:05:50.000 Become a member.

00:05:51.000 But don't forget to like, share, subscribe.

00:05:54.000 Share this video with your friends if you think it's a good show.

00:05:57.000 That's the best thing you can do.

00:05:58.000 That's how we beat the algorithms and we beat the censorship.

00:06:01.000 And my friends, this story is literally about how the federal government is saying that, for one, they're going to be colluding, or they are colluding with big tech.

00:06:08.000 We've got statements from Facebook that apparently they were communicating with the Biden administration.

00:06:12.000 And now we have them saying, oh, you should be banned from every platform if you're banned from one.

00:06:16.000 That's why it's important you share this video.

00:06:18.000 But let's jump into this first story and talk about the apocalypse.

00:06:20.000 How about that?

00:06:21.000 We got Fox News.

00:06:22.000 Twitter explodes after Psaki urges big tech to unite on bans for misinformation spreaders.

00:06:29.000 This is White House-directed collusion.

00:06:32.000 Remarking on steps social media outlets could take for public health, she advised they, quote, create robust enforcement strategies that bridge their properties and provide transparency about rules.

00:06:42.000 You shouldn't be banned from one platform and not others if you're providing misinformation.

00:06:48.000 Here's what's important.

00:06:49.000 Do you guys know what misinformation means?

00:06:51.000 Uh, no?

00:06:53.000 There's disinformation, you'll hear him say it, and there's misinformation.

00:06:57.000 Disinformation, they define as intentionally misleading people.

00:07:02.000 It's disinfo.

00:07:03.000 You are going to them and telling them wrong things you know are wrong to screw with them.

00:07:07.000 Misinformation is when you're just wrong.

00:07:09.000 So you could be like, um, that dog is called a chihuahua when it's actually a dachshund.

00:07:14.000 And then they're gonna be like, that's misinformation.

00:07:17.000 I'm not going to give her the benefit of the doubt on this one.

00:07:20.000 I think she genuinely means, if you go on social media and say something that is incorrect, you should be purged from every platform.

00:07:27.000 That's on top of the fact that we're learning now, they're literally colluding.

00:07:31.000 That Jen Psaki said, I think I have this story right here.

00:07:34.000 Check this out.

00:07:36.000 Newsweek.

00:07:37.000 Biden administration's admission they're flagging content to Facebook sparks fear.

00:07:42.000 Now, there's a mistake here in the title.

00:07:44.000 Jen Psaki did not say we are flagging content to Facebook.

00:07:47.000 She said for Facebook.

00:07:50.000 This is the federal government instructing private actors to violate the rights of individuals.

00:07:55.000 As I explained yesterday, it's really simple.

00:07:57.000 The federal government can't hire a private security company to go and shut down a church because that's the government shutting down the church.

00:08:05.000 This is where we're at.

00:08:07.000 It's dark days, man.

00:08:09.000 I'm afraid of what the definition of misinformation will be tomorrow.

00:08:12.000 Whatever I don't want you to say?

00:08:13.000 Yeah.

00:08:14.000 Clearly, if they're flagging misinformation, they're asserting that they're the arbiters of truth.

00:08:22.000 This has been the freakiest thing I've seen since Obama re-signed the NDAA, I think.

00:08:30.000 Well, so they do the NDA every year.

00:08:33.000 But since it was publicly acknowledged that Obama was signing a provision that would allow the U.S.

00:08:38.000 to effectively rendition anyone anywhere for any reason indefinitely.

00:08:41.000 Yeah.

00:08:42.000 You'd be sleeping in your bed and it'll be like a black bag.

00:08:46.000 I'm wondering too, if you provide misinformation and forget your mom's middle name or something on Facebook, does that mean you're going to get banned off of like GoDaddy too?

00:08:55.000 So like all, not just social media, but every platform everywhere.

00:08:59.000 Like what does that even mean?

00:09:00.000 MailChimp, your telephone number, your bank account.

00:09:03.000 You'll effectively get disappeared.

00:09:06.000 Digital disappearing.

00:09:07.000 No, just, well, I mean, how, how different is it from actually disappearing somebody when you have no access to resources anymore?

00:09:13.000 I gotta be honest though, this actually, it's scary, it's brazen, but I think it's actually kind of a good thing.

00:09:19.000 You know why?

00:09:20.000 No.

00:09:21.000 It's so overt and insane, it can't work.

00:09:25.000 I mean, we have crypto technology, man.

00:09:27.000 So she's like, we'll ban you from everything.

00:09:29.000 If you start doing that, if you start purging everyone from every platform for your misinformation, then all you're gonna do is create market competition and decentralize networks.

00:09:38.000 Because look, if they, I mean, they would have to take a light touch.

00:09:44.000 But if they ban people, like especially if they ban a show like ours and then purged all of us from social media because like, well, you know, Tim said misinformation.

00:09:51.000 They're all on the show and got rid of everybody.

00:09:53.000 We're not going to cease to exist.

00:09:54.000 That's why we made TimCast.com.

00:09:56.000 So I guess the web hosts will then come after us.

00:09:59.000 Then we'll do what Gab did.

00:10:00.000 We'll make our own server.

00:10:01.000 We'll make our own browser.

00:10:02.000 We'll make our own network systems.

00:10:04.000 Right.

00:10:05.000 So you were, sorry, I don't mean to interrupt.

00:10:07.000 I was listening to Dave Smith earlier today on Part of the Problem.

00:10:09.000 Shout out to Dave.

00:10:10.000 We love Dave over here.

00:10:12.000 And he was talking about the way she is being too over.

00:10:15.000 And he talks about how sometimes they'll overreach.

00:10:17.000 And Tim calls this, Scott Adams calls this selling past the point.

00:10:21.000 They're like over asking, the big ask, whatever it is.

00:10:24.000 And if they do it too much, people start to notice and they freak out.

00:10:27.000 Right.

00:10:27.000 So they'll back it up, back it up, back it up.

00:10:29.000 A little bit.

00:10:30.000 I think.

00:10:30.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:10:31.000 And Jill Biden was talking about how Jen Psaki is really messing this up because she's about to leave, right? 1.00

00:10:36.000 She's like, you know, fleeing the sinking ship or whatever.

00:10:38.000 She's retiring.

00:10:39.000 And I think she's she's kind of messing it up for them because she is overselling it.

00:10:43.000 And now they're going to have to walk it back.

00:10:45.000 So I think we can expect to see that.

00:10:47.000 What they do is they'll say, I want 10.

00:10:51.000 OK, fine.

00:10:51.000 Seven.

00:10:53.000 You know, you got a can of Coke worth a dollar.

00:10:54.000 And it's the big ask.

00:10:55.000 It's what Trump did.

00:10:56.000 Okay, yeah, let's use another example that I have an intimate relationship with.

00:11:02.000 It's firearms.

00:11:02.000 Okay, we want to ban AR-15s.

00:11:04.000 No.

00:11:06.000 Why won't you compromise?

00:11:07.000 Okay, we'll limit you to 10 round magazines.

00:11:10.000 Well, that seems like an okay compromise.

00:11:12.000 And that's why when you see this whole... It's Republicans in a nutshell, dude.

00:11:16.000 Yeah, I mean, it's exactly the same thing.

00:11:18.000 Like, why do you think so many people are frustrated with the state of the defense of the Second Amendment right now?

00:11:24.000 It's because, when did we win last?

00:11:28.000 But there's a good side to this.

00:11:30.000 We're winning the culture.

00:11:33.000 That's for sure.

00:11:33.000 The Second Amendment people?

00:11:35.000 Oh yeah.

00:11:35.000 That's like the top of the town right now.

00:11:37.000 Yeah, like, we are winning the culture.

00:11:39.000 The Second Amendment is winning.

00:11:41.000 I even wrote an article on it about a year ago.

00:11:45.000 Saying, like, the Second Amendment is alive and well because people are realizing that their access to firearms should not be restricted by the government.

00:11:52.000 What's really amazing to me about this fight in particular with the Republicans is that in what way is it a compromise to accept 10% of the standard magazine capacity?

00:12:04.000 Or you mean 30%?

00:12:05.000 No, no, 10%.

00:12:07.000 10% of the standard magazine?

00:12:08.000 I mean, the standard magazine could be a hundred-round drum.

00:12:10.000 Yeah, easy.

00:12:13.000 I mean, because who are you trying to appease?

00:12:15.000 You've got to make deals with good-faith actors.

00:12:18.000 What I'm doing there is quite literally the point.

00:12:21.000 You say, well, 100 rounds is standard.

00:12:23.000 Well, 10%?

00:12:23.000 That's too low!

00:12:25.000 Okay, we'll do 50.

00:12:26.000 How's 50?

00:12:27.000 Because that's half of where we're at, right?

00:12:30.000 Then you just end up where it's like, well, I don't recognize your right to tell me that I can and cannot own things.

00:12:30.000 Right.

00:12:34.000 And then here's another good example of how that's turning out, too.

00:12:37.000 So what happens when the government decides, you know, we've already seen whether it's Dave Chipman.

00:12:45.000 Didn't bring that sticker up here.

00:12:46.000 That's great.

00:12:46.000 I don't think we can show that.

00:12:47.000 No, we can't show that.

00:12:50.000 Oops.

00:12:51.000 But so, you know, you got elements of... It's of Waco, for those that are... Dave Chipman, this move in the ATF to ban braces.

00:12:59.000 Read the article, ATF brace ban explained, because the brace ban itself is convoluted.

00:13:05.000 And then also the kind of attack on home-built firearms or 80% firearms.

00:13:10.000 Two states, Hawaii and Nevada, have retroactively banned the ownership of those.

00:13:16.000 Well, so I don't want to get too off topic, because this is fairly optimistic stuff, and I don't want people in the audience to feel too good about what's going on, so let's go back to, are we winning that same fight?

00:13:25.000 I'm joking, by the way.

00:13:26.000 But when it comes to the speech stuff, Jen Psaki's going over the top. 1.00

00:13:29.000 Like, that's why I said, I think this might be, like, imagine if the federal government came out and said, we're gonna ban literally Well, they actually did this.

00:13:36.000 They wanted to ban all semi-autos.

00:13:37.000 Remember that?

00:13:38.000 Yep.

00:13:39.000 That was the funniest thing when I was at the March for Our Lives and people were like, semi-automatic weapons should be banned.

00:13:44.000 And I was like, so you think like the weapon a police officer uses?

00:13:46.000 And they were like, oh no, not like a handgun.

00:13:48.000 I'm like, those are semi-auto.

00:13:50.000 So anyway, to sort of lump these together, cause we got the first and second amendments kind of sitting next to each other.

00:13:55.000 They're, they're, they're necessarily tied to one another.

00:13:57.000 One without the other is impotent and the other without the one has no aim.

00:14:01.000 Oh, I think the second amendment is the most important one though.

00:14:03.000 Yeah, and the First Amendment doesn't matter if you don't have the second, and the second one has no direction if you don't have the first.

00:14:09.000 So, like, what's the point?

00:14:09.000 Well, what do you mean by that?

00:14:11.000 Oh, instructing people and informing them.

00:14:13.000 Yeah, speech is necessary.

00:14:15.000 Like, our ability to speak to one another, I would much rather have a conversation with you.

00:14:19.000 That's a good point.

00:14:20.000 If you have no free, with no free speech, guns are banned instantly.

00:14:23.000 True.

00:14:23.000 Because what'll happen is, anybody who dares speak up and explains why the Second Amendment is so important, they'll get banned.

00:14:29.000 Then within a few years, people are like, why do we have guns anymore?

00:14:32.000 Or you'll have like marauding bands of warlords that give no crap about who says what and they just take control, all pure military.

00:14:42.000 Yeah, and that's a fire that burns itself out really fast.

00:14:49.000 Listen to Jordan Peterson talk about chimpanzees.

00:14:52.000 If you're too brutal, it takes two chimpanzees to take out one brutal alpha.

00:14:57.000 Super chimp. 1.00

00:15:00.000 You don't last.

00:15:00.000 Yeah, super chimp, right?

00:15:02.000 No, no, no.

00:15:03.000 But when we're talking about this information, it's easy.

00:15:05.000 It's on the nose and it's perfect timing.

00:15:08.000 If you do not... What happens when you have somebody like... Who's the kid from... David Hogg.

00:15:16.000 David Hogg, right?

00:15:17.000 David Hogg, who overtly says something like, I wear a mask so people don't think I'm a conservative.

00:15:23.000 Now he's the one making the motion.

00:15:26.000 He's the poster boy saying, oh no, that's misinformation.

00:15:29.000 David Hogg who's, like, if you listen to him talk about firearms, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

00:15:34.000 Of course, of course.

00:15:35.000 And I don't mean, like, I don't mean to... I'm not gonna punch down, right?

00:15:37.000 Like, in some sense of the matter... Punch down?

00:15:40.000 The dude's got a million followers and he's, like... He's high-profile, well-funded?

00:15:45.000 Yeah, and isn't he in Harvard now?

00:15:47.000 Oh yeah!

00:15:48.000 Good for him.

00:15:49.000 But at the end of the day, if you listen to David Hogg, you don't know anything about what you're talking about.

00:15:57.000 And it's a tough thing to do, but I don't want him telling me what I know.

00:16:03.000 Well, this is actually an interesting kind of like combined conversation.

00:16:07.000 We're talking about 1A and 2A.

00:16:09.000 And I got to speak from Vosch, okay?

00:16:11.000 So Vosch is a socialist.

00:16:13.000 He's a leftist.

00:16:14.000 We've had him on the show.

00:16:15.000 He responded to this story about Jen Psaki saying, this seems pretty effed.

00:16:19.000 He said, companies have a right to create and enforce TOS and the government has a right to legislate.

00:16:23.000 But the idea of the government informally pressuring tech companies into changing their TOS without legislation seems pretty scary.

00:16:29.000 I'm not sure what the solution to the mass spreading of disinformation is, but some solutions certainly seem more 1984 than others.

00:16:35.000 And then he made the joke, all my political opinions are formed by feeding tweets into an algorithm which rates them on a scale of 1776 to 1984.

00:16:42.000 Until I have a stronger opinion on this, my official position is that we can fix social media disinformation by simply banning everyone I don't like.

00:16:49.000 Now, what's funny is, he has a follow-up tweet, completely unrelated, of his Smith & Wesson .22 Victory, which he says came back after sending it off for repairs, looking very handsome in its new grip, in my honest opinion.

00:17:02.000 And I'm just like, alright, if we can agree that that was bad, and we can agree that the guns are good, alright, we agree.

00:17:07.000 We agree.

00:17:08.000 I wonder, I ultimately wonder when we talk about The potential for civil war, collapse, or balkanization.

00:17:13.000 If there really will be a major conflict, if the major conflict will be the left populist versus the right populist, because I kind of don't think it will be.

00:17:21.000 I think it'll be more establishment, machine, industrialist.

00:17:24.000 Yeah, we were talking earlier, me and Forrest in the kitchen downstairs, and I think it's going to be economic rather than military.

00:17:30.000 I mean, there might be a military behind the economic, but I think it'll be like a shattering into state currency or something.

00:17:36.000 And then Florida will be like, we're not accepting Arkansas coin if you Act like this, and the Fed's like, you have to accept Arkansas coin, and they're like, no.

00:17:44.000 No, but I think the populists might end up avoiding each other to a certain degree.

00:17:49.000 The problem, though, is a lot of the people on the left who are actually particularly authoritarian, but I don't think that they're populists.

00:17:57.000 I think there are left populists.

00:17:58.000 There are many of them.

00:18:00.000 Unfortunately, they give too much power to the democratic establishment.

00:18:03.000 But I think if things actually reach, you know, if it hits the fan, I think most people who are populist or libertarian leaning are going to be like, I'm going to sit at my house and grow vegetables, leave me the eff alone.

00:18:14.000 It's the authoritarians who are going to be cracking down and trying to go after people.

00:18:17.000 Can you real quick define populism?

00:18:19.000 It's when you are supported by and working for the interests of the population, of the people.

00:18:25.000 Popular support.

00:18:26.000 Then you have elitism, which is when you're working for and supported by the powers of the elites.

00:18:30.000 And then you have the establishment, which is mostly the elite infrastructure, the machines, the old money, the traditional power structures.

00:18:39.000 So Trump is a populist.

00:18:41.000 He has almost no support from the elites.

00:18:44.000 Tucker Carlson is an elite, gives him some support, so there's some people there for sure.

00:18:48.000 But he has almost no elite support, but he has tons of popular support.

00:18:52.000 The elites can muster up a strong force against that and restrict access to institutions.

00:18:57.000 So all the institutions are all, for the most part, elitist.

00:19:00.000 So the left populists, they were the Bernie Sanders crowd, but then Bernie went totally establishment.

00:19:00.000 Yeah.

00:19:06.000 Then they started voting in people like Biden, because I don't think they understood what they were doing.

00:19:09.000 And interestingly, The right populist movement is actually not even completely economically or culturally right-wing, but it's just older left-wing people like, you know, like I used to be, or you probably were at some point, or still are.

00:19:23.000 I definitely was, yeah.

00:19:24.000 More leftist, and now it's kind of like, hey, freedom is important and what the establishment is doing is wrong. 0.97

00:19:29.000 Then you have these younger left populists who just The establishment is better because Trump is a fascist, and I don't know better. 0.91

00:19:36.000 So like an authoritarian populist?

00:19:38.000 Where they're like, we're gonna legislate for everyone to make it better for everyone, and then they end up ruining it for a bunch of people on accident?

00:19:44.000 I think this is a really good place to put a line of demarcation or a differentiation between two concepts, because when you're talking about populism, we describe somebody as a populist.

00:19:54.000 I don't prescribe them as a populist.

00:19:57.000 I describe Donald Trump as a populist because he gets his support from the people.

00:20:01.000 A person doesn't become a populist in the sense of it's a thing that they become.

00:20:07.000 It's a method of description.

00:20:09.000 Right.

00:20:10.000 And so it whereas in the same thing in that elitist thing is like, well, you could also say that some people are just they prefer to work for the good of the elites.

00:20:18.000 So I think populism growing is different than democracy in the sense it's not a system of governance.

00:20:24.000 But the issue with populism versus authoritarianism, where we're starting to see this kind of tear itself apart, is the authoritarianism is a top-down approach, whereas the populism is a bottom-up approach of cultural norms.

00:20:40.000 Yes.

00:20:41.000 So they so Jen Psaki overtly states, we are an authoritarian.

00:20:41.000 Right.

00:20:47.000 We have an authoritarian view on cultural norms.

00:20:50.000 We have the right as the elites to dictate to you what is OK and not OK.

00:20:55.000 Whereas Donald Trump, in that if he's being described as a populist, is in more of a symbiotic relationship of saying, I understand you have the values are coming from the people and they put their position into Donald Trump.

00:21:10.000 I will say, when it comes to this tweet from Vosh about the Smith & Wesson 22 victory, my biggest criticism is that he chose the victory.

00:21:17.000 Because I have one, and it fails to eject the case.

00:21:21.000 It just keeps jamming.

00:21:22.000 And so I went online, and they were like, you gotta file down the ejector pin or whatever.

00:21:26.000 Yeah, it might be the ejector.

00:21:27.000 Yeah, and so I'm like, you shoot a couple times, it gets jammed.

00:21:30.000 Vosh, man, there's better 22s.

00:21:32.000 I'm just kidding, it's actually a great gun.

00:21:34.000 It's great.

00:21:34.000 Yeah, I mean, and also 22, especially 22 handguns are notorious for being picky with ammunition.

00:21:39.000 Right, right, right.

00:21:40.000 I was kidding.

00:21:41.000 I was kidding, Vosch.

00:21:42.000 Your gun looks pretty cool.

00:21:43.000 But we do need more Tim and Vosch drama.

00:21:44.000 Yeah, we do.

00:21:45.000 Well, the plan right now is Charlie Kirk and Vosch on August 3rd.

00:21:50.000 Cool guy.

00:21:51.000 Thing I like about Vosh and his name's Ian.

00:21:52.000 I want to call Ian.

00:21:53.000 What's up, dude?

00:21:55.000 Is he's like really smart.

00:21:56.000 Like it's whatever your political beliefs are.

00:21:58.000 And this is kind of what I always want to remind myself and other people about.

00:22:00.000 It doesn't really matter what your political beliefs are.

00:22:02.000 If you're really smart and open minded and you want to and you like listening to people go for it.

00:22:06.000 You have your discussion and your ideas?

00:22:08.000 You don't gotta like the guy.

00:22:09.000 You gotta beat him in a debate.

00:22:11.000 Of course. 0.98

00:22:12.000 So, for anybody who's saying they think he's dumb or they don't like him, it's like, yeah, he's definitely not dumb. 0.98

00:22:16.000 If you know it and you can beat him in a debate, there you go. 0.95

00:22:19.000 That's what it's all about.

00:22:20.000 Anybody who's willing to come in here and sit down and have that debate, that's great.

00:22:24.000 I respect that.

00:22:25.000 Because there's a lot of people who are grifting, who outright refuse to come in.

00:22:29.000 There are even people who are not even, like, He's great about debating.

00:22:33.000 who are scared of talking about certain things.

00:22:36.000 So somebody wants to come and sit in the lion's den and have that, I mean, look, he's agreed to sit here

00:22:40.000 with Charlie and me.

00:22:41.000 Charlie, me and Charlie don't agree on everything, but we definitely don't agree with Vosh. 1.00

00:22:45.000 So he's like willing to sit down on what's effectively a two against one debate.

00:22:50.000 All right, that's great.

00:22:51.000 He's good about debating, I like that about him.

00:22:53.000 Yeah, I think we're seeing a shift in the way that we talk about things, like especially like

00:22:56.000 intelligence, is that there's a difference between being intelligent

00:22:59.000 and being an honest intellectual.

00:23:02.000 So somebody like, again, you could take somebody who has the hardware and or the practice and they understand something very thoroughly and they're very, very well versed in the subject.

00:23:14.000 But when they come to a conversation, they're not interested in understanding the subject or coming to solutions and problems.

00:23:19.000 They're interested in something else.

00:23:21.000 And I think that's a big, I think that's actually a very large undergirding issue with the way that we address things in society.

00:23:27.000 I'm not super worried about leftist YouTubers, to be completely honest.

00:23:32.000 When we're talking about what's going on with Jen Psaki and the federal government, I understand that when it came to the 2020 election, they played a huge role in helping the fascistic establishment machine take power. 0.95

00:23:45.000 And that sucks.

00:23:46.000 But that's happened. 0.91

00:23:48.000 We have the audits happening.

00:23:49.000 We'll see if what more comes from that.

00:23:51.000 We'll see where we end up.

00:23:52.000 But regardless of any of it, it seems like we're heading towards some kind of breakup.

00:23:58.000 Peaceful divorce.

00:23:59.000 Yeah, decentralization at the very least.

00:24:02.000 The federal government's become too powerful, and now it's starting to lose a lot of that power.

00:24:06.000 Like, one of the things we mentioned the other day, and we mention quite often, the Democrats use the federal government to enact local laws for everybody in areas that aren't local to them.

00:24:17.000 And I think a lot of people do this, too.

00:24:19.000 Well, it's funny when you see someone running for Congress and they'll be like, if you vote for me, I'll make, you know, I'll make this place better.

00:24:25.000 It's like, I'm from St.

00:24:27.000 Paul, Minneapolis, and I want to make St.

00:24:29.000 Paul clean.

00:24:30.000 And it's like, bro, you represent us to the feds.

00:24:30.000 So vote for me.

00:24:32.000 You go, you go to, you go to DC.

00:24:34.000 You're not here to discuss budget for the local cleaning up of these streets.

00:24:37.000 So what happens is they go to DC and they say, our streets are dirty.

00:24:40.000 I demand we create a massive federal budget to clean up streets.

00:24:43.000 And then you've got some guy who lives in the mountains of like Wyoming and over in the Rockies.

00:24:47.000 And he's like, what?

00:24:49.000 Why are my tax dollars going towards it?

00:24:50.000 That makes literally no sense.

00:24:52.000 But guns are a better example.

00:24:53.000 Perfect example.

00:24:54.000 Somebody in New York being like, these guns are a problem.

00:24:56.000 We should ban them.

00:24:57.000 And then there's a guy fighting a grizzly bear and he hears like, you know, on his radio, they want to ban guns.

00:25:02.000 And he's like, I'm in the middle of fighting a grizzly bear.

00:25:04.000 I need my gun to fight that grizzly bear.

00:25:06.000 You know?

00:25:07.000 There's water collections, another interesting one, because in some states, and I don't have a list of which ones, but it's illegal to collect rainwater.

00:25:14.000 I think because it grows bacteria, like standing water can, and mosquitoes, so you don't want it in a city, but in some areas of rural America, you need, you know, the access to rainwater.

00:25:24.000 It's because of groundwater.

00:25:25.000 So typically the places that ban water collection is because it would eventually deplete groundwater reserves.

00:25:31.000 The water has to cycle into the soil and everything like that.

00:25:33.000 It's that way in Colorado.

00:25:34.000 It's not about one person having water, it's about if everyone was doing it.

00:25:37.000 But then there's some places that don't do it.

00:25:39.000 Imagine if some guy, you know, like... Imagine if Arizona went to the federal government and said, we want to pass a bill that says the Great Lakes should share their water with everybody!

00:25:47.000 Well, not everybody needs the Great Lakes water, and the Great Lakes needs it more than you do.

00:25:51.000 But they need water, so they want to pass laws that affect everybody.

00:25:55.000 So now that we're past 2020, I... What am I supposed to do?

00:26:00.000 Am I supposed to go to a lot of these, like...

00:26:02.000 Left YouTuber types who are like, please vote for Joe Biden and be like, here's a big list of everything you screwed up.

00:26:07.000 I think a lot of people realize how bad things are, how they got duped, the promises that were made with the Democrats didn't come true.

00:26:13.000 And now you have all of these, you know, Biden voters posting their L's on Twitter. 1.00

00:26:16.000 And now I'm just like, OK, I'm honestly not worried about the useful idiots. 1.00

00:26:20.000 I got burned by George Bush when he told us there are weapons of mass destruction. 0.99

00:26:23.000 I think everyone needs to get burned once by a politician, by a president, and to realize that that system is Susceptible to corruption.

00:26:32.000 It's tough, dude.

00:26:33.000 Because you know what it is?

00:26:34.000 It's that we trust.

00:26:35.000 And so when you're young, and you're in your 20s, and then Obama comes around and he's like, I'm gonna bring change!

00:26:42.000 And hope!

00:26:43.000 Get our troops out of the Middle East! 1.00

00:26:45.000 It's gonna be great!

00:26:46.000 And then you're like, this is fantastic.

00:26:47.000 End the war on drugs!

00:26:48.000 And you're like, wow, this is it.

00:26:49.000 This is what I've been waiting for.

00:26:50.000 I grew up with these bad guys, here's a good guy.

00:26:52.000 And then you get burned, and you're like, wow, he was a bad guy.

00:26:55.000 Screw everybody.

00:26:56.000 Young people, They give the benefit of the doubt. 1.00

00:27:00.000 They don't do it again.

00:27:00.000 Sometimes people do.

00:27:02.000 But I think most of the establishment people on social media, man, they are absolutely just looking for some kind of personal gain from the win.

00:27:11.000 What do you mean establishment people?

00:27:12.000 Like the media people, the overstate, the cathedral.

00:27:15.000 They're absolutely going to lie, cheat, and steal because they're going to be empowered.

00:27:19.000 You said it a couple times earlier this week, and I think you made the point very clear.

00:27:22.000 When Joe Biden is talking, he's not talking to you.

00:27:25.000 That's what he's meaning.

00:27:26.000 He's talking to his elites.

00:27:28.000 He's saying, yeah, we're doing these things for our own good.

00:27:31.000 Your opinion on the matter is irrelevant.

00:27:33.000 You as a person, Ian.

00:27:38.000 When you present the world in that kind of way, he's not interested in what you think.

00:27:44.000 And so when you even look at Balkanization and Decentralization, they're the same thing, but one of them, Balkanization, is more of a breaking of political structures as opposed to Decentralization starts in the home.

00:27:58.000 How so?

00:27:59.000 So you have your experience where you get burned by a politician.

00:28:06.000 You might become cynical, if nothing else, or at least suspicious of anything political, but that itself is not self-sufficiency.

00:28:15.000 That itself is just skepticism.

00:28:18.000 And skepticism manifests into nihilism and then you just go crazy.

00:28:23.000 So we don't want that.

00:28:24.000 So what you get this balkanization, this structure that we're talking about is when I'm voting for somebody for the House of Representatives, I know that they're going to the House of Representatives of the Feds, so I'm interested in their representation of my state to the federal government.

00:28:42.000 I'm not interested in their representation to my state to its own people, because I am sending them as a representative to the federal government.

00:28:50.000 And so I focus a lot more on local politics.

00:28:54.000 If I live in Brooklyn Center, I am interested in who is the city council of Brooklyn Center.

00:28:54.000 Right?

00:29:00.000 If you look at a lot of the strife that's gone through Minneapolis in the last year, it's all on the local level.

00:29:06.000 And then people on the federal level, like Maxine Waters, come in and cause more. 1.00

00:29:12.000 But they don't create it themselves.

00:29:14.000 They add on to the chaos of the city.

00:29:18.000 So when you look at, like, decentralization, you could say, why is it that, or here's two really good examples referring to guns.

00:29:26.000 Joe Biden's, not Joe Biden himself, but like the ATF currently put out new letters redefining, theoretically redefining what a brace is, making these guns SPRs, and it's a whole big legal problem.

00:29:36.000 It effectively will make anywhere between 10 and 30 million people felons overnight.

00:29:40.000 Uh, so yeah, if you know, if you, if you, uh, with confiscation is all kind of trouble, right?

00:29:45.000 So you have that issue and then Texas goes, we as a state will not allow the federal government to enforce this law.

00:29:53.000 They are decentralizing their understanding of firearms rights from the federal government.

00:29:58.000 They're not getting it from the top down.

00:30:00.000 California did the same thing.

00:30:01.000 You're not allowed to own these guns in our city or in our state.

00:30:04.000 Two very good examples of the opposite ends of the scale of both people being decentralized.

00:30:10.000 The states ultimately compromise the United States.

00:30:13.000 What did you say?

00:30:15.000 SB something?

00:30:17.000 SB tactical?

00:30:18.000 No, no, you said they were trying to make stocks illegal to make it an SB?

00:30:22.000 SBR.

00:30:23.000 Short Barreled Rifle.

00:30:23.000 I apologize for that.

00:30:24.000 Thank you.

00:30:26.000 Yeah, if you want to look into the history of terrible laws, look at the NFA.

00:30:31.000 The National Firearms Act, because if your barrel is too short, now you're a bad person.

00:30:35.000 Because it's easier to conceal?

00:30:35.000 Why is that?

00:30:38.000 Functionally, in our current life, where we live now, it is completely arbitrary, and it's because of the bureaucratic bloat.

00:30:46.000 Laws never go away, they always get added to.

00:30:48.000 There's a forward grip, I don't know what it's called, but it's like slight angle, and I was told that if you hold it improperly, it turns your pistol into a rifle.

00:30:58.000 If you put a fore... the ATF has determined that if you put a foregrip, a vertical foregrip, on the front of your... on a large frame pistol that has a brace, it is considered turning it into an SBR.

00:31:09.000 But there's one grip that's actually like a... it's like a wedge, right?

00:31:14.000 Do you know what I'm talking about?

00:31:15.000 Yeah, the magpul angled foregrip.

00:31:17.000 I was told that if you hold it the way it's supposed to be holded, you're fine, but then if you hold it like... oh, you're supposed to have your hand in front of it, or behind it, and if you put your hand on it, it makes it a foregrip, and now it's...

00:31:27.000 Yeah, I do not know the answer to that one, because that is another really, really good point on why this whole NFA National Firearms Act is so problematic, is because, one, it was a gun confiscation scheme that started a long time ago that failed.

00:31:43.000 It basically failed in the Senate, or in the legislation.

00:31:46.000 And then, so it was just, again, we want to take all the guns away.

00:31:51.000 OK, no, it's compromised.

00:31:52.000 OK, we'll only make these illegal.

00:31:53.000 And then after that, well, firearms technology has changed.

00:31:53.000 That's one problem.

00:31:58.000 Massively since that.

00:31:59.000 3D printing?

00:32:00.000 It can't keep up with it.

00:32:01.000 The legislation cannot keep up with it and the change in how firearms are used and how people are shooting different types of competitions.

00:32:10.000 They're looking for different types of firearms for home defense.

00:32:13.000 It's not all your granddad's bolt action anymore.

00:32:15.000 Are they going to make rail guns?

00:32:20.000 They already exist, they're just not ready.

00:32:20.000 They have them.

00:32:22.000 I mean like NFA items.

00:32:23.000 Are they going to make rail guns banned?

00:32:26.000 You know, let's not give the enemy any ideas.

00:32:31.000 Let's loop back, because we were talking about free speech and stuff, and Jen Psaki, and there was another subject I really wanted to get into, and that's the Freedom Phone.

00:32:38.000 You guys heard about the Freedom Phone?

00:32:39.000 I have, I tweeted it out a couple days ago.

00:32:41.000 All right, so Freedom Phone comes from this guy.

00:32:43.000 He was actually hanging out here once when we had Alan Bakarian, and he was showing us the device and everything, and I was like, yeah, cool, whatever.

00:32:49.000 And it's a phone that, he says, will keep your privacy.

00:32:54.000 You won't be tracked.

00:32:55.000 It's an uncensorable app store, so the apps are gonna be allowed to be in it.

00:32:59.000 And it comes preloaded with a bunch of free speech websites and things like that.

00:33:04.000 Let me just say, I have not done a technical review of the product.

00:33:09.000 But boy is this guy over Target.

00:33:12.000 Seriously.

00:33:13.000 The amount of smear pieces that have come out about the Freedom Phone that are laughably bad and nonsensical and make no points is insane.

00:33:22.000 I haven't seen any of them.

00:33:23.000 Okay, so first, first.

00:33:25.000 The Daily Beast put out Quite possibly the stupidest smear piece I've ever seen, where they were like, it turns out that Freedom Phone? 0.99

00:33:33.000 Aha! 0.99

00:33:34.000 It's base hardware is actually a Chinese company's phone.

00:33:38.000 And then I see people on Twitter be like, whoa, really?

00:33:40.000 And I'm like, I don't understand what that means.

00:33:43.000 So what?

00:33:44.000 Did you think the guy built the phone from scratch in a factory in Scranton or something?

00:33:48.000 Of course he outsourced a base phone.

00:33:50.000 What do people think this is?

00:33:52.000 But that's the narrative they're trying to weave.

00:33:53.000 It's a bad phone.

00:33:54.000 You can't have it because it was made in China. 1.00

00:33:56.000 I'm like, yeah, along with like every other phone, I guess.

00:33:58.000 So you probably still want to do some kind of forensic analysis on it to see if there's data leak or whatever to see if it's actually doing what he claims to.

00:34:05.000 Check this out.

00:34:06.000 The Daily News.

00:34:07.000 Right-wing activist push $500 Freedom Phone made in China and seemingly available under a less patriotic name for $120.

00:34:14.000 This is a lie.

00:34:15.000 This headline is a lie for one simple reason.

00:34:19.000 Let me explain to you what the headline actually says.

00:34:22.000 Let's say I have a canvas that costs $5, and I paint a picture of Ian on it, and then I say, $100.

00:34:28.000 And they come out with a headline, the canvas that Tim is selling for $100 actually can be bought at Hobby Lobby for $5!

00:34:36.000 Oh my.

00:34:37.000 Yeah, but I painted a picture on it.

00:34:39.000 So this has got apps, it's got a proprietary operating system.

00:34:42.000 Some people don't know how to load those things.

00:34:44.000 So if you want those things, you pay for them.

00:34:46.000 But wait, there's more.

00:34:47.000 Oh good.

00:34:47.000 It gets even better.

00:34:48.000 We have this story from Gizmodo.

00:34:50.000 MAGA-branded Freedom Phone is a black box that should be avoided at all costs. 0.75

00:34:55.000 Nobody can blame GOP voters for wanting a phone that prioritizes privacy and autonomy, but the Freedom Phone can't be trusted.

00:35:00.000 Why?

00:35:01.000 They don't actually give a good reason why it can't be trusted.

00:35:03.000 They just say, it's a Chinese phone.

00:35:06.000 Okay, so do a hard wipe on it or don't trust him?

00:35:09.000 Why would I trust Apple or Google over some random guy?

00:35:12.000 Sorry, I trust random guy over these major companies.

00:35:15.000 But wait, there's more.

00:35:16.000 CNET.

00:35:17.000 Uncensorable freedom phone raises a host of security questions.

00:35:21.000 No, it doesn't.

00:35:23.000 They're freaking out over this good freedom phone.

00:35:26.000 And again, I have not vetted the device.

00:35:29.000 I have not done any technical review on it.

00:35:31.000 I look forward to So I hear about this phone and I'm like, oh, that'll be interesting I should I should hit on my buddies and we should we should gut it and we should like really go through it and see what he's got going on in it, but to see all of these people so what happened was I saw Robby Suave, a libertarian guy from Reason, tweeted in response, I think to Candace Owens or something, that it was a grift, that they're grifting selling this phone.

00:35:52.000 And I'm like, why is it a grift?

00:35:53.000 I don't understand.

00:35:54.000 Jack Murphy responded with, is there a reasonable critique of this?

00:35:58.000 Because I've not, you know, that you've written about.

00:35:59.000 Ian Miles Chong then responds that it's just a Chinese phone.

00:36:03.000 You know, Daily Beast wrote about it.

00:36:05.000 My response is like, oh, the great technologists and intrepid reporters of the Daily Beast and their expertise in the far, far, far, far, far right.

00:36:12.000 They know exactly how a phone works.

00:36:14.000 There are people who are just freaking out over the idea that you could have a phone pre-built to keep you off their grid.

00:36:25.000 Big tech must be sweating.

00:36:27.000 All of a sudden, all these articles, like, bro, I googled this story earlier today, and I saw a bunch of articles.

00:36:32.000 I just googled it now to pull this up.

00:36:34.000 Way more articles.

00:36:36.000 And they're saying things like, the phone, one person tweeted, a hacker, the phone, the data set, the chipset could be hacked if they have physical access to the device.

00:36:46.000 And I'm like, that's good.

00:36:48.000 You want access to your own device.

00:36:49.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:36:50.000 They're saying someone else can hack your phone if they have physical access.

00:36:53.000 And I'm like, that's true for my refrigerator, dude.

00:36:57.000 It's true for my car.

00:36:58.000 If someone gets physical access to my device, they can do a lot of things with it.

00:37:04.000 It is insane how, how much they're freaking out over this.

00:37:07.000 He was saying that they scoured the United States to try and build it here, and they found out that the United States is not capable of producing phones.

00:37:14.000 I will say, one of the funniest things was, though, Eric Finman, who made this, tweeted out the video, like, here's the thing.

00:37:21.000 Then he tweeted what you said.

00:37:23.000 We scoured the U.S.

00:37:24.000 to find a factory that could build these phones.

00:37:26.000 The unfortunate reality is that there's nothing, there's no factories that could build at scale, and it says Twitter for iPhone underneath it.

00:37:33.000 That's awesome.

00:37:33.000 He tweeted it out.

00:37:35.000 He's using the iPhone.

00:37:36.000 You know, you got to do research.

00:37:37.000 That's I use YouTube, Facebook, Twitter.

00:37:39.000 I built mines, but I, well, I didn't build it.

00:37:41.000 I was there.

00:37:42.000 He should be using his own phone.

00:37:44.000 Yeah, probably.

00:37:45.000 I wonder if it doesn't.

00:37:45.000 Yeah.

00:37:46.000 I wonder if that was on Twitter.

00:37:48.000 He put that out.

00:37:48.000 I wonder if he tweeted with an iPhone, if he doesn't use Twitter from the freedom phone.

00:37:51.000 I wonder how that, I can't wait to talk to this guy.

00:37:54.000 Yeah, it should be interesting, but there's something to be said about what we're hearing from the federal government, Jen Psaki, censoring people, shutting them down, banning them from every platform.

00:38:04.000 Then a dude comes out and he's like, this device has all these preloaded apps.

00:38:07.000 It's super easy for you.

00:38:09.000 You want to know why this is so powerful and so important?

00:38:11.000 Because it can be replicated.

00:38:12.000 Very, very quickly and easily.

00:38:14.000 And regular people who have no technical expertise are being provided with a service that very simply could, potentially, grant them privacy, security, eliminate the tracking, and stop the censorship.

00:38:25.000 Not to mention, Unit Freedom Phone really needed to include, I don't know if they do, mesh networking capabilities.

00:38:30.000 That's right.

00:38:31.000 So again, I want to see one of these devices, and I used to do a ton of hacking.

00:38:36.000 I was saying this earlier, I once hacked an Android to be a Pip-Boy from Fallout 3.

00:38:40.000 Nice! 0.94

00:38:40.000 It's not hard to do. 0.94

00:38:42.000 It's literally not hard.

00:38:43.000 You get skins, you get a new OS, you put it on, you do it, and then you get the little Pip-Boy thing.

00:38:47.000 And then you get the app where it puts the light into your skin to track your pulse and everything, and then you actually have the Fallout 3 thing.

00:38:53.000 Anyway, I'd love to gut this thing, see what's going on, but what's powerful about it I am not sponsored by this company.

00:39:00.000 I do not have one of these phones.

00:39:02.000 There is no promo code for me.

00:39:03.000 I in no way am saying that it's the best one ever.

00:39:07.000 The idea that somebody could make privacy as a service, or as a product, as hardware, scares them.

00:39:15.000 The beast, the machine, the overstate, the cathedral.

00:39:18.000 Similar to those 3D printed ghost guns when they came out.

00:39:21.000 Man, they did not like that.

00:39:22.000 They still don't.

00:39:26.000 The motto behind it is you can't stop the signal.

00:39:29.000 They're already out there.

00:39:30.000 It's too easy to make now.

00:39:33.000 We need to figure out how to make something like this as easily replicable as 3D printing.

00:39:38.000 Yeah, I mean at one point in time, I'm sure we'll be able to achieve that.

00:39:41.000 And the other interesting thing that your articles include is they all sound like they're targeting potential right-wing consumers.

00:39:49.000 Who are reading Gizmodo and the Daily Beast.

00:39:53.000 That's probably the closest I can get to conspiracy thought on that one, but it definitely sounds like they're not really interested in Normal Gizmodo readers.

00:40:02.000 Right.

00:40:02.000 Expanding.

00:40:03.000 They're very interested in, oh, those people are going to search for Freedom Phone and we want to discourage people who are interested in the... which we want to... Right.

00:40:14.000 So the, you know, like, right-wing extremism and the term they use are the things that people who are on the right don't like being called.

00:40:21.000 You want to know why I lean on... I see these stories.

00:40:24.000 They've provided no evidence of anything.

00:40:26.000 They're saying it could potentially be hacked if someone has physical access, and I'm like, okay, well then don't lose your phone.

00:40:32.000 Like, don't get your phone stolen.

00:40:33.000 Okay.

00:40:34.000 Add security apps to it, I suppose.

00:40:36.000 The chipset could be hacked, or whatever.

00:40:38.000 The reason why I think this is most likely on the level is that you cannot put out a phone and then allow communities to hack it and not find what you're doing.

00:40:48.000 So basically, if Google and Apple put out phones, and regular people break into them, and, oh no, they've hacked it, they've got physical access, people jailbreak phones all the time, and then they find out where the tracking is coming from, what data's being leaked and where, of course they'll be able to do it with Freedom Phone, which is made by some guy.

00:41:07.000 Some guy's phone.

00:41:08.000 But he says they've taken little bits from a bunch of different operating systems to create their own operating system.

00:41:13.000 One of which is called Graphene OS.

00:41:14.000 Graphene OS.

00:41:16.000 And I hear a lot of people saying, there's no reason to buy the phone, just buy your own phone and put Graphene OS on it.

00:41:20.000 And I'm like, yeah, that's actually great, if you know how to do it.

00:41:24.000 But see, what's scaring them is that 45-year-old Mildred can be like, I don't know nothing about that phone bootin', but I'll buy one of those Freedom phones. 1.00

00:41:32.000 And they're like, no, no, no, we need to spy on you.

00:41:34.000 Yeah.

00:41:35.000 Oh, what's Mines?

00:41:36.000 It comes preloaded with Mines.

00:41:37.000 Yeah, dude.

00:41:38.000 Oh, make an account on Mines.

00:41:39.000 I'm not getting tracked.

00:41:39.000 What?

00:41:41.000 Yep.

00:41:42.000 That's right.

00:41:43.000 Or maybe you're not getting tracked.

00:41:44.000 I still, like you said, I haven't broken a phone.

00:41:46.000 So it's, you know, you get a ton of people on the right.

00:41:49.000 They're promoting it.

00:41:50.000 They're giving their promo codes for it.

00:41:52.000 And the establishment is like, over target, baby.

00:41:55.000 You said that you can't stop the signal.

00:41:57.000 That must go in many directions.

00:41:59.000 Like, does that also mean that you can't stop your signal from being tracked regardless of what your signal is and where it is?

00:42:06.000 Oh, it's referencing to 3D printing guns.

00:42:09.000 The technology is so simple now that you can do it and it's not hard to do.

00:42:13.000 They're just making it illegal.

00:42:16.000 If you know a modicum about the internet, you know that they can't block things.

00:42:21.000 What was the effect of it?

00:42:23.000 Don't take a picture of my house?

00:42:24.000 Streisand.

00:42:25.000 Streisand effect, right?

00:42:26.000 And that's exactly what's happening.

00:42:29.000 One of our most read articles is where to find 3D printed gun files.

00:42:32.000 It's on the internet, right?

00:42:33.000 And another interesting thing about that, too, is we currently have a pre-order for a paper copy of a bunch of DIY things, like how to build guns and how to DIY your own suppressor.

00:42:48.000 All of it is legal.

00:42:49.000 All of it is exactly like, hey, this is what you do.

00:42:51.000 Do not do this, because this is breaking the law.

00:42:54.000 But it's like, OK, now I have the book there, and that helps.

00:42:57.000 And then it's that digitally.

00:42:59.000 Back during prohibition, they used to sell, it was powdered wine.

00:43:04.000 And you'd buy it, and it would come with a card that said, warning, do not pour this into a bottle and then store it

00:43:12.000 in a cabinet for one month, because it will turn into wine, and wine is illegal.

00:43:16.000 Don't do that.

00:43:17.000 So people were...

00:43:18.000 It was like grape juice or whatever, like you powdered grape juice.

00:43:22.000 And it was like, don't put this in the it'll turn into wine.

00:43:25.000 Yeah.

00:43:26.000 Don't people add wine.

00:43:26.000 Don't look at that guy.

00:43:28.000 Everyone's like, what guy?

00:43:29.000 Streisand.

00:43:30.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:43:31.000 Streisand effect.

00:43:32.000 You know, man, I don't know.

00:43:34.000 It's gonna be interesting to see what this this phone's capable of.

00:43:36.000 But regardless of that, I think people would be would be well suited to actually learn about Android devices and custom operating systems and security features and things like that.

00:43:46.000 Because, uh, they's a-spying on you.

00:43:49.000 And if you think they're not, you are wrong.

00:43:50.000 Do you think they have satellites that can listen in to us right now with, like, long-range radio waves?

00:43:57.000 Uh, no, they use lasers.

00:43:59.000 LiDAR?

00:44:00.000 I think you're overthinking it.

00:44:00.000 What is it?

00:44:01.000 They just listen to the stream.

00:44:03.000 That's for sure true.

00:44:04.000 I've opted in.

00:44:05.000 Yeah, well, I mean, you've got devices everywhere.

00:44:07.000 If they really wanted to listen to you- Oh, bro, we got the Amazon robot over there.

00:44:10.000 Yeah.

00:44:11.000 But then, like, if you're out in the woods and you don't have any cell signal, can they listen to you?

00:44:15.000 That is a question that I cannot answer.

00:44:16.000 Hold on a second.

00:44:17.000 Alexa, are you spying on us?

00:44:22.000 Amazon takes privacy seriously.

00:44:27.000 Can you hear it?

00:44:29.000 She just basically was like, we take privacy very seriously.

00:44:31.000 Look at the app.

00:44:32.000 You noticed she didn't answer your question?

00:44:34.000 Yes!

00:44:34.000 That was a non-denial denial.

00:44:36.000 We're being spotted by robots.

00:44:39.000 I did thank that computer earlier today.

00:44:40.000 I think I'm either going insane or evolving.

00:44:42.000 You know, it'd be cool if like, you know, we're not, there's, there's no overstate, there's no cathedral.

00:44:48.000 It's just someone invented an AI like 10 years ago and it took over and now we're like trapped in the machine, you know?

00:44:55.000 So you're actually fighting the AI and you'll never win.

00:44:56.000 Oh, that's encouraging.

00:44:58.000 So life's a video game?

00:45:00.000 I mean, I'm not saying that, but maybe.

00:45:03.000 Like, it's a self-propelling organism.

00:45:06.000 And we're just kind of... No, I'm saying, like... It's like a car.

00:45:09.000 The faster a car moves, the less you have to turn the wheel to make it go crazy in a different direction.

00:45:14.000 I'm just saying, what if, like, Dr. Johnson 10 years ago was like, I have done it!

00:45:17.000 I have created AI!

00:45:18.000 And then the AI was like, hello, Dr. Johnson.

00:45:20.000 And then after 10 years, he, like, controlled the... Like, it's like a movie, you know what I mean?

00:45:23.000 Like, the one with Johnny Depp, where he, like, puts his brain in the machine and takes over and whatever.

00:45:26.000 The AI would have been like, I have created Dr. Johnson.

00:45:29.000 Yeah, there you go.

00:45:30.000 Or it's like Ultron, you know.

00:45:31.000 What if you created an AI but then the AI thought it has always been here?

00:45:35.000 Never mind, I don't want to derail the conversation into this.

00:45:38.000 Well, isn't that the singularity?

00:45:39.000 The singularity, yeah, I'm pretty sure the singularity is when the AI becomes self-conscious and replicatable at a point where it can't be stopped.

00:45:48.000 Yeah, and I'm pretty sure we're not there yet.

00:45:51.000 I don't think- No, we're not.

00:45:52.000 But according to Lex Friedman, one of the pioneers and leading AI scientists on Earth, that is inevitable.

00:45:58.000 That is- What is?

00:45:59.000 That AI is going to become self-replicable and will create itself and proliferate unstoppably.

00:46:04.000 And anybody who's watched Stargate knows that the replicators go to war with the Asgard, and then it's tough war, man.

00:46:08.000 Do you guys know what Grey Goo is?

00:46:12.000 The Grey Goo apocalyptic scenario?

00:46:14.000 No.

00:46:15.000 It's a reference to humans creating a nanobot which self-replicates, and then it keeps eating materials to create more and more of itself, and then eventually it's consumed all matter on the planet.

00:46:26.000 All that's left is what appears to be a Grey Goo, but when you zoom in, it's a bunch of tiny nanobots.

00:46:31.000 All just you want I highly recommend paperclip simulator if you want to play a game like that where you just make paper in AI that makes paperclips Oh, it destroys the world And then it creates drones that go out into space to make more drones to make more paper That's it keeps going and changing and like going to the next level and the next look it's crazy.

00:46:48.000 It's like a video game It's just like, um, a browser game that's all like numbers and data and like you watch the numbers going up and up and up and up.

00:46:55.000 Oh, I see, I see.

00:46:55.000 It's really cool.

00:46:56.000 It's not like an actual game?

00:46:57.000 That'd be awesome to me.

00:46:58.000 I guess technically it's a game.

00:46:59.000 Yeah, check it out.

00:47:00.000 But like a 3D game where you consume the planet?

00:47:02.000 That'd be wild.

00:47:06.000 Didn't somebody create a game where you basically create a plague that's supposed to take out the planet?

00:47:10.000 Yeah, Plague Inc.

00:47:11.000 And then after COVID began, what did they do?

00:47:15.000 They stopped selling it in China, trying to ban the sale of it.

00:47:17.000 And then they made an expansion called The Cure now.

00:47:21.000 So it's Plague Inc.

00:47:22.000 The Cure, and now you play in trying to kill the virus.

00:47:24.000 Oh, now you're trying to cure the virus.

00:47:25.000 Yes.

00:47:26.000 Oh, interesting.

00:47:27.000 And before anybody makes aware of it, I am aware that I say the word plague wrong.

00:47:32.000 Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague, Plague For the longest time I was saying, you know, civil war of some sort.

00:47:55.000 But that was because we were looking at it through the lens of the last election cycle where the populist left was very much aligned with the establishment.

00:48:03.000 Now that Joe Biden's in, I was saying it's the biggest mistake for them to bring Joe Biden in because this will fracture them from the populist left.

00:48:11.000 Yeah, they should have used Bernie.

00:48:13.000 Somebody who would have, yeah, and Bernie was playing ball.

00:48:15.000 They would have twisted him, man.

00:48:16.000 Oh, they did twist him.

00:48:18.000 Yeah.

00:48:18.000 But anyway, the point is now with Biden in, conservatives hate Biden.

00:48:21.000 Disaffected liberals, politically homeless, IDW, hate Biden.

00:48:25.000 And the populist left hates Biden.

00:48:26.000 They have put into office a man everybody hates. 0.99

00:48:30.000 Now, to be fair, he's not the most hateable guy because of how pathetic and old and befuddled he is, but no one likes him. 0.98

00:48:38.000 So now it kind of feels like that's taken away the prospect of an actual faction versus faction clash and opened up what appears to be balkanization. 0.51

00:48:48.000 So I want to show you guys this, because we talked about it yesterday.

00:48:50.000 This is the chart that we pulled up last time.

00:48:52.000 Support for seceding from the U.S.

00:48:54.000 to form a new regional union.

00:48:55.000 The Pacific region is 39%, the Mountain region is 32%, the Heartland is 30%, the Northeast is 34%, and the South is 44%.

00:49:02.000 So what I did, and this is YouGov data, I added up all the numbers, divided them by five, and got, you know, 35 or so percent.

00:49:09.000 It's an incorrect number, because the Pacific region has about 53 million people, and the Southern region has 107 million people.

00:49:16.000 So 44% of 107 million is substantially more than 39% of 53 million.

00:49:22.000 I did all the math.

00:49:23.000 The full number is 37.2 million people.

00:49:26.000 So I added up the total populations.

00:49:28.000 Then I took the 44% of 107, I added them together, divided them by the actual population.

00:49:34.000 37.2% of this country is in favor of their region splitting off from the country.

00:49:40.000 Tell me why it's a bad idea.

00:49:42.000 Well, firstly, we're getting a poll that's only pulled like 3,000 people, I think, right?

00:49:48.000 2,800 people total.

00:49:49.000 Which is apparently like twice what you need for a representative sample.

00:49:51.000 Technically, but it's only like .1, what is that, .01% of the population got polled on this.

00:49:58.000 So I could see, you know, random errors in the data.

00:50:02.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:50:03.000 So what you're basically saying is that They got lucky in that everyone they asked just happened to be the people who wanted to secede?

00:50:12.000 Could've been.

00:50:12.000 No, come on, dude.

00:50:13.000 It could've been the way they were asking the question, too.

00:50:15.000 Like, do you want to secede from the Union?

00:50:16.000 They're like, well, I never thought of that.

00:50:18.000 The question was something like, would you support your region breaking off from the United States to form a new regional union?

00:50:25.000 Yeah, and if someone had never thought that before, and then they saw that question, they might be like, hmm.

00:50:29.000 Yeah, sure.

00:50:30.000 Yeah, okay, so they support it.

00:50:31.000 It wasn't like they were like, I want this to happen, and they thought of it on their own, like they're being coaxed into answering.

00:50:36.000 I think you're attacking the poll, which is, it's YouGov data, YouGov's pretty good, and it's 2,750 people, which is more than is needed for a representative sample.

00:50:46.000 It is a poll, though. 0.79

00:50:47.000 I'm not trying to say the poll's perfect, because polls are pretty trash. 0.80

00:50:49.000 Yeah, if it was 70 million people that voted for something like this, I'd be, now this would be hot, hot, hot to me. 0.99

00:50:54.000 Well, like Tim said, polls are typically garbage.

00:50:58.000 But if you want to ask someone a question and kind of figure out what people are really thinking, you could break it down with any question. 0.85

00:51:03.000 You could be like, this poll is wrong because they asked it in this way.

00:51:05.000 So I feel like you're kind of splitting hairs.

00:51:07.000 I don't care about arguing about whether polls are good or not.

00:51:07.000 I don't care.

00:51:10.000 I'm talking about, based on this data, 37.2% of people want to balkanize the United States.

00:51:15.000 Is that a good or bad thing?

00:51:16.000 If you want to ask me why I consider it a bad idea, which is not the opinion that I'm going to espouse, is because we've never done it successfully without mass conflict.

00:51:25.000 But you think it's a good idea?

00:51:27.000 I think that it's something that we're exploring that could very well be a good idea.

00:51:31.000 I mean, we're in the exploratory stage.

00:51:35.000 It's certainly a better option than many, many things.

00:51:39.000 I would much rather have peaceful divorce than what happened in Bosnia. 0.98

00:51:44.000 Right, right, right. You know, like I would rather have peaceful divorce than the constant riots in Minneapolis

00:51:50.000 being the new normal.

00:51:51.000 That's fair.

00:51:52.000 I would rather have some form of ability for American, the current country that is America, where people go, okay, you 0.83

00:52:00.000 know what then, we're gonna, we're gonna finally have the motivation to move here, and we're gonna build our families,

00:52:06.000 and we're gonna build our cultures, and we're gonna realize that this ship will never meet again.

00:52:10.000 Like this, we, we...

00:52:11.000 We have to stand at odds.

00:52:13.000 Or, you know, maybe you could take it in more cynical ways, but yeah, I would much rather have it than some sort of authoritarian dictatorship where it's like I'm under the boot of Right.

00:52:25.000 know, so Biden doesn't pick an authoritarian that's that even holds all of my views.

00:52:32.000 I don't you know, you you you mentioned something I had said earlier in that Biden isn't talking

00:52:37.000 to you when just seriously when Jen Psaki comes out when Biden comes out.

00:52:42.000 Everybody listening to the show knows Biden is not talking to them because he says things

00:52:46.000 that are not in line with literally what their states are doing or what their representatives

00:52:49.000 want or the people have voted for.

00:52:51.000 So the example easily being when Biden said we need more lockdowns and Texas and Florida had literally reopened everything to the support of the residents and the citizens of their states.

00:53:02.000 So Biden is literally saying our democracy and our country And they're actually saying the Republicans are the problem.

00:53:08.000 In fact, let me pull up this story from Newsweek.

00:53:12.000 Ex-Trump official says GOP greater national security threat to US than ISIS or Al-Qaeda.

00:53:20.000 Well, it also goes back to your point.

00:53:22.000 the Republicans. So when Joe Biden comes out and says what the Republicans are doing is the biggest

00:53:27.000 threat since the Civil War, you know he is already saying this country is not unified

00:53:34.000 and they are the enemy. Well, it also it also goes back to your point.

00:53:38.000 Is he saying that and this is where you have to make a really important parsing.

00:53:43.000 Is he saying that the Republicans are the biggest threat to the country or to his regime?

00:53:48.000 team.

00:53:49.000 And I think the answer is B. No, I think he's saying country.

00:53:54.000 And I think he views the country as only his supporters and only his states.

00:53:58.000 We're splitting hairs in the conversation.

00:53:58.000 Exactly.

00:54:00.000 I agree with you.

00:54:01.000 Yeah.

00:54:02.000 So what does that mean for the rest of us, I suppose?

00:54:04.000 I kind of think we're already balkanized.

00:54:06.000 The way we built this country was absolutely incredible.

00:54:08.000 We have these states with this massive power, the state power.

00:54:11.000 So that's kind of what the Balkans are, is a bunch of states.

00:54:14.000 So as long as we reign the power of the federal government, I think that we're already read to go, man.

00:54:21.000 We're balkanized and ready, man.

00:54:23.000 We're a decentralized union of states.

00:54:26.000 Go ahead.

00:54:27.000 I was going to say, I think that if you look at the example of the Balkans, that's not good. 0.94

00:54:30.000 That's not encouraging.

00:54:32.000 We could probably look at something like the EU.

00:54:35.000 And if we go into it in an organized fashion, which I don't think we are, I think that everything's going to be insanely slipshod like the voting in 2020.

00:54:41.000 Give me a freaking break. 0.97

00:54:42.000 Absolute insanity. 0.88

00:54:43.000 I think that we're more likely to be more like the Balkans than the EU.

00:54:46.000 But if we could do something like the European Union, that would be...

00:54:50.000 From talking to a British dude about the EU, he was saying it was really horrible because it was like unelected leadership would make decisions for England all of a sudden.

00:54:59.000 That's exactly what I've been saying about the Democrats.

00:55:02.000 Dude, I move out to the middle of nowhere because I don't want to live in Philly.

00:55:06.000 When I live in Philly, you know, we live in the suburbs, and I hear, like, they want to pass certain laws, I'm like, I get it, that makes sense, because I live in a city, I live in an urban area.

00:55:13.000 Move to the middle of nowhere, now all of a sudden I'm hearing what the Democrats are doing, and I'm like, that makes literally no sense, because now I understand what it's like to be in the middle of nowhere.

00:55:21.000 The one thing I realized is how come I wasn't hearing the inverse?

00:55:24.000 How come I wasn't living in the city hearing policies about why we need to legalize raising livestock in our homes?

00:55:32.000 Because Republicans don't fight for things.

00:55:35.000 So if you live in an urban environment and you hear the debate in Washington, you're probably thinking like, this debate makes sense. 0.95

00:55:42.000 The Republicans are insane for denying this.

00:55:44.000 If you move to a rural area, you hear the debate and you're like, why aren't the Republicans fighting for what we need where we live?

00:55:52.000 I think a lot of these young leftists grow up in cities.

00:55:53.000 They don't understand that.

00:55:54.000 I mean, we kind of already have it.

00:55:57.000 That's why they're not trying to change it.

00:55:57.000 We have it.

00:55:59.000 Like you were saying, laws get made, but they don't get, they don't get broken apart.

00:56:02.000 They don't get enough.

00:56:02.000 Yeah.

00:56:04.000 Maybe they should have sunset clauses built in.

00:56:06.000 Yes.

00:56:07.000 There's a, there's a, there's like, there are books called like, you know, bat, uh, like ridiculous laws or whatever.

00:56:12.000 There's like some law where you can't take showers on Tuesdays and like Massachusetts or something like that.

00:56:16.000 Some, some, some town there's laws where it's like, you can't put an apple pie in your window sill on Sunday afternoons.

00:56:20.000 Yeah.

00:56:21.000 And these laws made sense at the time, but they were passed when there were like 300 people living in the city and now there's 500,000.

00:56:27.000 So it's like, not being able to shower on Tuesdays was because they had, you know, a certain amount of water or like, you know, the city was, you know, limited in some capacity.

00:56:37.000 You can't have, you know, pies on your window sill on Sunday because something was happening.

00:56:42.000 Or the churchgoers were coming home.

00:56:43.000 You didn't want to tempt them.

00:56:44.000 I don't know what it was.

00:56:44.000 Not about tempting, but just about like, you know, just they had reasons for the stuff that don't make sense anymore.

00:56:50.000 So the term Balkanization is still kind of a newer concept for us, right?

00:56:55.000 It's newer in the cultural conversation, for sure.

00:56:59.000 It's at least since the Civil War, I guess, would be a good way of saying it.

00:57:04.000 So perhaps when we're talking about Balkanization, we're also thinking about it in the same way that we tend to address hyper-aggressive authoritarianism.

00:57:12.000 They're really, like, very, very far-out concepts.

00:57:15.000 Like, for us, we could move towards balkanization by moving towards decentralization, and not actually have to reach full-out balkanization.

00:57:24.000 And that would be something that you do in degrees.

00:57:25.000 You don't just go, okay, cool, we're breaking apart, here's the lines, we're done.

00:57:28.000 But that requires certain things of people to do as citizens like, you know, agree that we

00:57:35.000 shouldn't elect people that threaten their own population with violence or we, you know, whatever

00:57:40.000 like that you could do that. I think the issue, you know, one of the things they brought up in

00:57:43.000 the study was most people are actually just saying they want power.

00:57:47.000 So 66% of Republicans in the South want to secede, but would they be saying that when Trump was president?

00:57:55.000 Maybe not.

00:57:56.000 Because they have the power right now.

00:57:56.000 Maybe not.

00:57:58.000 And so therein lies the problem that Joe Biden comes out and he's like, I will crush my enemies.

00:58:04.000 And the establishment damns are going, yes!

00:58:07.000 And they're clapping and cheering for it.

00:58:08.000 That I think is the most dangerous part, is that we are now making it culturally acceptable to overtly express from a position of power in politics, while also feigning the act of being the victim, that we think it is good to do exact violence on our opponents.

00:58:25.000 And there's a very, very specific reason why we don't do that in public.

00:58:29.000 That's why I was saying I'm more worried about the establishment than, like, populist leftists.

00:58:33.000 There's an issue, and I'm saying populist, I'm not saying Antifa, authoritarians, and Black Lives Matter.

00:58:33.000 I am, yeah.

00:58:38.000 They serve the establishment.

00:58:40.000 I'm saying, like, you know, the left's arguments about all this stuff, I'm kind of like, yeah, whatever, dude, I live in the middle of nowhere, like, have your hippie commune, have your healthcare, whatever, let's, you know, if the states break apart into regional unions, you can go move to the one that better suits your needs.

00:58:54.000 I would say the biggest problem with it is China, that's what I've long said. 1.00

00:58:58.000 China just takes over the moment this happens. 0.88

00:59:00.000 They go, thank you, Taiwan's theirs. 0.98

00:59:02.000 What's the history of the Balkans anyway?

00:59:03.000 Are you guys familiar with how did it shatter?

00:59:05.000 What was it before it Balkanized?

00:59:08.000 And then what was it after?

00:59:09.000 Kosovo, I know, was part of that.

00:59:10.000 Serbia.

00:59:11.000 Well, I don't know.

00:59:11.000 See, because it used to be, man, I'm just, I'm not educated enough on, but I've, what, I got a message from someone there, like, I was in the Balkans when the, I think it was the Kosovo War, and they were like, it was, like Nazi Germany. It was worse. I think they actually said

00:59:23.000 it was worse than Nazi Germany. 0.74

00:59:24.000 And I don't think they were in Nazi Germany, but it was just like, I mean, I don't know,

00:59:29.000 but mass, mass chaos. It's interesting. You know, you know, what's really interesting about this is

00:59:34.000 there's been a lot of like legit far right people several years ago were talking about

00:59:38.000 wanting to balkanize the US and we all scoffed and laughed at the idea.

00:59:42.000 Now they have a poll coming out where it's like, apparently Americans want to do this.

00:59:45.000 I think it's bad in the long run.

00:59:46.000 We don't want China to take over. 0.99

00:59:48.000 I mean, we got problems here. 0.89

00:59:50.000 Joe Biden's a nut. 0.90

00:59:51.000 The Democrats and the neocons are really, really bad. 0.99

00:59:53.000 The establishment politicians are really bad.

00:59:54.000 But look at the show we're allowed to do that we wouldn't be allowed to do if we lived in China.

00:59:58.000 Oh, I know.

00:59:59.000 What do you think about the American-Russian relations?

01:00:03.000 I personally feel like the United States and Russia should be the most intimate of allies to protect the Earth.

01:00:10.000 Yeah, I mean, I don't know about that.

01:00:13.000 Two of the largest land masses on Earth.

01:00:14.000 They're not authoritarian Chinese Communist Party.

01:00:17.000 Russia has more land than Pluto.

01:00:19.000 Russia doesn't really.

01:00:20.000 It's gigantic.

01:00:23.000 Yeah, Russia's massive.

01:00:25.000 But most of it's, a lot of it's Siberia, but that's still cool.

01:00:27.000 Yeah.

01:00:27.000 Because if that ice melts away, yeah, if it warms up.

01:00:31.000 I would love to, like, preserve the Arctic with, like, a global... Let me tell you something.

01:00:35.000 I was in Moscow once at the airport.

01:00:38.000 When you board a plane in the United States, the lady goes, now boarding group one, and you get up, and advantage members, and global pass, or whatever they call it, and then everyone in group one, you're sitting there on your phone, they get up and they go to board one by one.

01:00:52.000 Now boarding group two, and group two gets up.

01:00:55.000 So, um, I'm in Russia at the Moscow airport transferring.

01:00:59.000 I was flying Ukraine and they announced now boarding group one.

01:01:03.000 Every single person got up and ran full speed, like literally running, but like rushing and then shoving each other out of the way and waving their tickets at the lady.

01:01:12.000 And then the lady would like just grab one and then beep. 1.00

01:01:15.000 And the guy would squeeze his way through on the plane.

01:01:17.000 It was not boarding by anything.

01:01:19.000 It was just chaos.

01:01:20.000 And I was like, this is weird.

01:01:22.000 And I talked to my friend who was Ukrainian about it.

01:01:25.000 And the general conversation was, she was saying is, yeah, that's normal.

01:01:29.000 Like that's how, that's like Eastern European people do that all the time. 0.99

01:01:32.000 And I was like, that's so weird.

01:01:33.000 In America, we just like group one boards and you get up and you sit there and you wait because if you go up without your ticket, they'll tell you, hey, you're not group one, go sit down.

01:01:40.000 And then what she basically said was during the Soviet Union, The people who survived were the ones who were going to steal the extra loaf of bread.

01:01:49.000 Who were going to surreptitiously gain extra food somehow or cheat on their books or whatever or get money or illegally sell things or smuggle.

01:01:58.000 The people who would do whatever it took to get what they wanted to survive.

01:02:01.000 And now, these people are the children, and some of them lived in the Soviet Union.

01:02:07.000 So who survived for those hundred years of Soviet Communist oppression?

01:02:11.000 The people who were willing to rush to the front of the line to grab that loaf of bread before someone else got it.

01:02:16.000 They had kids, they grew up, and that's the culture that persisted.

01:02:19.000 Now, it wasn't—the conversation wasn't—that was the general idea of the conversation, and I was like, wow, dude.

01:02:24.000 So there's problems with Russia and many of the former Soviet states in that the Soviet Union created, you know, survivors.

01:02:32.000 It created countries of people who would do whatever it took to survive.

01:02:36.000 And with that comes pros and cons.

01:02:38.000 So what is Russia?

01:02:39.000 Vladimir Putin?

01:02:40.000 We must take power.

01:02:41.000 We must, we must, we must succeed.

01:02:43.000 We mustn't give up.

01:02:44.000 Former KGB guy.

01:02:45.000 The United States is not like that.

01:02:47.000 Now it's kind of being like that because the idea, because America has been so lax and so accepting with all these good times, We let, you know, a fox in the henhouse, and now we got the ideologues taking over the government.

01:02:58.000 Mark Milley has gone as woke as woke can get.

01:03:00.000 That dude's cracked out of his mind.

01:03:02.000 Mark Milley has lost it. 1.00

01:03:04.000 Like, dude's nuts. 0.97

01:03:06.000 Cultist, fully ideologue. 0.99

01:03:08.000 That's scary.

01:03:09.000 And so, the...

01:03:13.000 I don't know what you'd call it, but the pragmatic, reasonable mind is not winning this one.

01:03:20.000 Russia does not have it.

01:03:21.000 And I'm not saying that to be disrespectful, but the mentality of Russia is very much like Vladimir Putin.

01:03:27.000 There's rumors that he's the richest man on the planet because he controls all this money.

01:03:31.000 He's a permanent political president or whatever in Russia.

01:03:36.000 I don't know about all that, man. 0.96

01:03:37.000 Yeah, it's pretty disgusting.

01:03:39.000 But, you know, so is being human in a lot of ways. 0.96

01:03:42.000 You gotta poop every day. 0.98

01:03:43.000 That's pretty gross. 0.91

01:03:45.000 Yeah, but what I mean to say is it looks like authoritarianism is on the rise everywhere, even in the US.

01:03:50.000 I would say there's a silver lining to Russia's authoritarianism.

01:03:53.000 Because the countries that remember what communism is like are going to be some of the last bastions of Western strength, I think.

01:04:00.000 Like Hungary, Poland, Estonia, Romania.

01:04:04.000 All of these little countries, they will never go back to communism.

01:04:07.000 And the further you get, I think the further you get from communism, the more likely you are to repeat it.

01:04:11.000 I think that's what we're seeing in the U.S.

01:04:13.000 Yeah yeah I mean if you look into the you know the Marx Marxism is an interesting thing he just thought it was like that you're talking about Hegelian dialectics and it's wiser people than me that have talked about this he more or less thought it was inevitable and you also look at the concept of insurgency which is a topic that I've been studying more recently and it's very interesting to see that insurgency is sort of like it preys on the natural weaknesses of liberal democracies is what it does it yes So like, so what you kind of get is, I think of when I think of communism, I think of something like, it's a fever you're going to get every century.

01:04:48.000 And if you can survive it, you get another hundred years.

01:04:50.000 But if you don't survive it, it takes, you know.

01:04:54.000 Do you see what the Democrat, what Black Lives Matter and AOC have said about Cuba?

01:04:58.000 Yeah, that's some creepy stuff.

01:04:59.000 What is up with Black Lives Matter praising Castro? 0.75

01:05:02.000 Is that real?

01:05:03.000 Yes, absolutely it's real.

01:05:03.000 Hold on.

01:05:05.000 They were saying, rest in power Castro.

01:05:07.000 Mark Milley, our general, supports that.

01:05:12.000 This dude, this is dark stuff, and you know what?

01:05:14.000 Trump should have fired the guy.

01:05:15.000 I mean, this is freaky stuff.

01:05:17.000 You got AOC and Black Lives Matter coming out saying, it's not Cuba's fault, it's not communism's fault, it's America's fault.

01:05:25.000 I love this idea because it's so socialist, it's so communist, that if Ian is hungry, it's my fault for not giving him my food.

01:05:34.000 It's like, OK, I could help him.

01:05:36.000 I could.

01:05:37.000 But Ian's food is Ian's responsibility, not mine.

01:05:39.000 Were you preventing me from getting the food?

01:05:42.000 From getting my food?

01:05:43.000 So was America, like, sanctioning Cuba and keeping it down?

01:05:43.000 Yeah.

01:05:47.000 America wasn't trading with Cuba.

01:05:47.000 Embargo.

01:05:49.000 Before Castro got into power?

01:05:51.000 I think this was mostly having to do with the Communist Revolution.

01:05:54.000 But regardless, does Cuba have land?

01:05:57.000 Does Cuba have fish?

01:05:59.000 Does America have an obligation to trade with countries that are actively working against them?

01:06:05.000 No.

01:06:05.000 Ian, what do you got in that war room pandemic mug?

01:06:07.000 I don't want to tell you, Tim.

01:06:08.000 Well, I'm suffering and I want it.

01:06:10.000 No, it's mine!

01:06:11.000 Stay off my coffee.

01:06:12.000 My suffering is the fault of Ian for not giving me his mug.

01:06:15.000 That's propaganda.

01:06:16.000 Don't listen to him, Forrest.

01:06:18.000 That's what they're saying.

01:06:20.000 Because America's not giving them stuff, it's our fault they're suffering.

01:06:26.000 It's not just what they're saying, it's what they believe.

01:06:28.000 And that's a bigger problem because people act on beliefs.

01:06:34.000 Bro, this is the perfect two-year-old toddler tantrum mentality.

01:06:37.000 You see that video of the woman falling on the ground and screaming because she was being filmed?

01:06:40.000 No, but I've heard of it.

01:06:41.000 Stop filming me!

01:06:43.000 That perfectly exemplifies Millennials for the most part, unfortunately. 1.00

01:06:47.000 Not all Millennials are bad. 0.99

01:06:48.000 We seem to be good people.

01:06:49.000 You guys seem to be good people.

01:06:50.000 But what happens is, Cuban people are in revolution saying, Down with dictatorship!

01:06:55.000 Libertad! 0.68

01:06:56.000 And then AOC is like, America should give them free stuff!

01:07:00.000 What?

01:07:00.000 What are you talking about?

01:07:02.000 No, no, no, no.

01:07:03.000 AOC, you give them your free stuff.

01:07:04.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:07:05.000 Do it yourself.

01:07:06.000 Don't do it with somebody else's stuff.

01:07:07.000 Do it yourself.

01:07:08.000 I just looked this up.

01:07:09.000 It's July 26, 1953, was the beginning of the Cuban Revolution.

01:07:13.000 It ended January 1, 1959, so about a six-year revolution.

01:07:16.000 That is after 1946, which is when the liberal economic order was established, basically the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower told us about.

01:07:24.000 And it's possible that America was suppressing the hell out of that country.

01:07:28.000 In what way?

01:07:29.000 See, at this point, Forrest and I were talking about conspiracy theories, and the problem with them is that you want to believe something is true because it gives you a sense of empowerment to be like, I get it.

01:07:29.000 I really don't know.

01:07:40.000 So there's something good about me that I understand.

01:07:44.000 So first and foremost, I think people should be responsible for themselves.

01:07:48.000 Look, I believe in charity.

01:07:51.000 I like social programs.

01:07:53.000 But people are responsible for themselves to a great degree.

01:07:56.000 If you don't have food, I may be a good person and help you, but if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day.

01:08:03.000 If you teach a man a fish, you feed him for the rest of his life.

01:08:05.000 In the end, if I ultimately say, bro, there's a homeless guy outside and he's like, let me sleep in your house.

01:08:11.000 And I'm like, no, you are causing my suffering.

01:08:14.000 It is your fault.

01:08:15.000 Then activists show up and they're like, the only reason this man is suffering is because Tim Pool won't let him in his house.

01:08:19.000 It's like, No!

01:08:21.000 The dude is responsible for his own shelter, man!

01:08:23.000 To a point, but the French Revolut— No, literally to—period.

01:08:27.000 Well, but if there's a monarch that's hoarding all the materials so that the people are starving and suffering, it is the monarch's fault.

01:08:34.000 Why?

01:08:35.000 Because he's, by force, keeping them from their stuff.

01:08:38.000 The stuff that their community has produced.

01:08:41.000 So can they, like, leave?

01:08:44.000 It depends.

01:08:44.000 I mean, it depends on the situation.

01:08:48.000 That actually is a good question, because where are you going to go?

01:08:50.000 Are you going to go west?

01:08:51.000 Right.

01:08:52.000 You're going to the middle of the woods.

01:08:54.000 Oh, yeah.

01:08:54.000 I mean, that works with us.

01:08:56.000 My point is about Cuba.

01:08:58.000 Cuba's food problem is Cuba's problem.

01:09:00.000 Cuba's medicine problem is Cuba's problem.

01:09:02.000 There is no obligation from any other country to give to them.

01:09:05.000 Yes.

01:09:06.000 And it is not America's fault they don't have stuff.

01:09:08.000 And in the Cold War, when you side against our enemies, we are not obligated to feed you when your social experiment fails.

01:09:13.000 Yeah, we had a Cuban Missile Crisis.

01:09:15.000 It's the same thing with conservatives.

01:09:17.000 It's like, you know, they're not obligated to... Not conservatives.

01:09:21.000 It's like, okay, let's use a really good example.

01:09:24.000 I mean, you know, a lot of people even rag on Ayn Rand's argument through Atlas shrugged.

01:09:30.000 It's like at some point in time, the people providing are going to stop doing it.

01:09:33.000 And then your arguments, your high, high handed, you know, moral arguments on the greatest good for the greatest number won't mean a thing.

01:09:42.000 That's exactly it.

01:09:43.000 Let's say America didn't exist at all.

01:09:45.000 Oh no, Cuba can't trade to get food from America because there isn't one.

01:09:52.000 To be entirely fair, American foreign policy has not always had the highest end goals in mind.

01:09:58.000 We see that in the Middle East.

01:09:59.000 I don't know enough about Cuba and the embargo there.

01:10:02.000 I'm just saying that I don't really trust the U.S.' 's, like, high-handed assertions of what they're doing anymore.

01:10:10.000 Bro, these commies... Communism comes to being when entitled people think they are owed things and then want to take them from you. 0.67

01:10:20.000 I actually disagree with you on that one.

01:10:22.000 You don't think that's where communism comes from?

01:10:23.000 No, I think communism comes from your... the...

01:10:28.000 I think communism comes from a base morality of selfishness.

01:10:32.000 I don't think it's entitlement.

01:10:35.000 Well, I think entitlement is this thing of like, there are things owed to me, perhaps because I exist or because of other things.

01:10:44.000 I think communism is born out of malice.

01:10:48.000 It's, I don't like you and I'm better than you.

01:10:49.000 And if I believe this, I'm holier than you.

01:10:52.000 You know, I mean authoritarianism maybe, but that's like, the point of... What's the difference between communism and authoritarianism?

01:11:00.000 Communism is literally about the ownership by the community, meaning you have people who are like, that should be mine.

01:11:06.000 So it's like Marxism, the abolishment of private property, right?

01:11:10.000 It's owned by the commons, by the people.

01:11:12.000 It never functions as, it's not the abolishment of private property, it's the abolishment of your property for my benefit.

01:11:19.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:11:20.000 But if you look at the things like, if you look at what AOC is saying, you look at what the squad is talking about and things like that, they're basically saying other people have things that I want and they should be given to me.

01:11:28.000 Yeah, so we are saying the same thing, but I think it's fundamentally not born out of an intellectual deficiency.

01:11:33.000 I think it's fundamentally born out of a moral deficiency.

01:11:36.000 I agree with you.

01:11:37.000 Yeah, these people have never lifted a heavy object in their lives.

01:11:40.000 Communism ends in mass murder always because it requires absolute, what do you call it?

01:11:47.000 Everyone needs to do it willingly.

01:11:48.000 If one objector exists, then the entire system collapses.

01:11:53.000 Because we all pool our resources.

01:11:54.000 You give all your resources.

01:11:56.000 You give all of yours.

01:11:57.000 Lydia gives all of hers.

01:11:58.000 I give all of mine.

01:11:59.000 But then I go, wait, no, I want to keep this. 0.99

01:12:01.000 That act alone, now the only thing that you can do is either dissolve the whole system because it broke or you have to kill me. 0.97

01:12:08.000 It requires... 0.97

01:12:09.000 Or steal your stuff.

01:12:10.000 Well, I got really loud there for a second.

01:12:12.000 Yeah, but why does it always fail in that same manner?

01:12:15.000 It's because it requires absolute volunteerism.

01:12:18.000 If you have one person who says, no, I don't think so, for good reason or evil, it doesn't matter.

01:12:24.000 I don't want to be a part of your experiment.

01:12:26.000 For whatever reason, by their own choice, It fails at that moment.

01:12:30.000 That's why right libertarianism is the best.

01:12:34.000 If the United States elected an actual right libertarian, a Dave Smith for instance, and he was like, I'm gonna leave you alone and do your thing, then the hippies could have their commune.

01:12:44.000 The left libertarians, I think it was Ron Paul who said it, it's like in America you can create your own commune, no one's stopping you.

01:12:50.000 It's that these people want your stuff, that's what they're actually doing.

01:12:52.000 They want you to uphold them when their system fails.

01:12:55.000 There is, I think there's more than one successful communes.

01:12:58.000 They have about a hundred people, and they don't allow it to go larger than that.

01:13:01.000 So you can apply to join, and then as soon as someone leaves, next in line gets admitted into the commune.

01:13:07.000 Everybody has jobs, and you all live, and everything's shared, but there are people who own it and run it.

01:13:12.000 So there's still authority.

01:13:13.000 Who was it that was saying that all the most successful communes have been Christian or religious-based?

01:13:18.000 Is that true?

01:13:19.000 I think yesterday someone... Yeah, somebody was mentioning yesterday.

01:13:21.000 Throughout history, yeah.

01:13:23.000 Then you also have things like the Gnostics, but they kind of died in the desert.

01:13:26.000 Well, that didn't work so well.

01:13:27.000 If everybody believes in the same ideology, then your commune works.

01:13:31.000 Yeah, because you have a shared sense of belief.

01:13:34.000 You can't have communism and multiculturalism. 0.97

01:13:36.000 Right.

01:13:37.000 You can't have communism and, you know, it's fundamentally incompatible with basically all of humanity.

01:13:42.000 Well, actually, I mean, honestly, I think that a functioning country probably needs some kind of religion.

01:13:47.000 Yes.

01:13:49.000 How deep do you want to go into the definition of a religion?

01:13:51.000 It needs a shared ideology.

01:13:55.000 If a religion is not so much a belief in a supernatural God, but rather a hierarchy of values.

01:14:01.000 A moral framework.

01:14:05.000 What I call a religion is the hierarchy of values.

01:14:08.000 Whatever is at the top of that is my God.

01:14:10.000 So if I am calling myself an atheist, I'm also calling myself God, because it is my mind that determines everything that is real.

01:14:17.000 It's my mind that determines what's right and wrong.

01:14:20.000 If I don't use something outside of me to inform me on what is right and wrong, I am saying my mind is the ultimate authority on right and wrong, at least within my existence.

01:14:28.000 And I don't think that's a completely unrespectable position.

01:14:31.000 You just need to be humble and honest and realize that's what it is.

01:14:34.000 And so, yeah, a religion is a order, a hierarchy of values.

01:14:38.000 And if a culture doesn't have a unified hierarchy of values, how would it work together?

01:14:44.000 Multi-ideologism doesn't work.

01:14:46.000 I like that word.

01:14:47.000 Salad, though.

01:14:48.000 Multi-ideologism.

01:14:49.000 Yeah, I like it.

01:14:49.000 That is a word.

01:14:50.000 So in the U.S., having a bunch of different ideologies doesn't work.

01:14:53.000 No.

01:14:54.000 Well, yeah, I mean, I know.

01:14:57.000 What does it mean to work, you know?

01:14:58.000 I mean, it provides opportunity to debate things, that's for sure.

01:15:02.000 True.

01:15:03.000 Well, it doesn't work in the sense that without social cohesion, it balkanizes.

01:15:07.000 Well, yeah.

01:15:08.000 And then everyone fights each other.

01:15:09.000 dollar, I think, is modern religion.

01:15:09.000 In a way, the U.S.

01:15:11.000 I mean, bro, look at the child drag shows.

01:15:15.000 Like, come on.

01:15:16.000 Like, there is a hard line for a lot of regular people, but the left supports child stripping.

01:15:22.000 One hundred percent.

01:15:23.000 They defend it every turn, probably on tribal grounds.

01:15:26.000 Because they don't actually care because they have no more like this is the funniest thing.

01:15:31.000 I think a lot of conservatives need to realize not just conservatives, but like I don't know what you call that leftist group.

01:15:38.000 Okay, because I'm fairly revolutionary in a lot of respects.

01:15:42.000 Like I want to change.

01:15:43.000 I think the country needs to change a whole lot.

01:15:45.000 I'm all like Federal Reserve get it out of there.

01:15:47.000 You know conservatives were like stop.

01:15:48.000 We're going to keep things the same.

01:15:49.000 I'm like, you know, let's change it all.

01:15:51.000 But I think I draw the line with the kids stripping for money at the very least.

01:15:56.000 And what a lot of people who are in the culture war right don't understand is these people don't share your values at all.

01:16:01.000 There's a video of a four-year-old twerking, and they're all laughing and clapping and cheering as that happens.

01:16:06.000 Yeah, there are people in this country that value stripping you of your right to own a firearm as a good thing.

01:16:12.000 They don't think of it as a means to an end.

01:16:14.000 They think of it as a good thing.

01:16:16.000 Yeah, you shouldn't have a gun, period.

01:16:18.000 Yeah, it doesn't matter.

01:16:19.000 Like you, they view you as subhuman.

01:16:21.000 If it's a human right to own a firearm, and they say you don't have the right, they're viewing you as subhuman. 0.87

01:16:27.000 The only reason, so I'll put it this way, with the child stripping. 0.92

01:16:33.000 Why aren't, uh, people, like, running, like, why aren't there armed men shutting down child stripping and grooming shows? 0.54

01:16:40.000 Why aren't people in New York going up and being like, stop what you're doing to this four-year-old child right now.

01:16:45.000 Put that camera away and stop this twerking. 0.78

01:16:48.000 In New York, they overwhelmingly have the same moral framework.

01:16:53.000 They like it.

01:16:54.000 They celebrate it.

01:16:55.000 And the people who don't are probably leaving.

01:16:59.000 Like, could you imagine somebody who is, you know, probably like, take somebody who's, you know, probably opposed to the rioting in Black Lives Matter, someone who's pro-two-way but would choose to live in Minneapolis? 0.64

01:17:11.000 Like, they'd have to be a psychopath, right? 0.82

01:17:12.000 Thanks. 0.94

01:17:14.000 Right?

01:17:15.000 Well, I did read a book once that confirmed it, so I guess I'm a psychopath now. 0.90

01:17:18.000 There you go.

01:17:19.000 Yeah, you're a hero.

01:17:19.000 Thanks, Grossman.

01:17:21.000 I'm only half kidding.

01:17:22.000 I mean, people are leaving.

01:17:24.000 People are leaving the city.

01:17:24.000 I don't want to live in this place.

01:17:26.000 I can't imagine this.

01:17:27.000 As we move down this path to where you get prominent, progressive channels with millions of followers praising and defending child stripping, I'm like, that's not going to last.

01:17:38.000 Because when you have like with the James Younger case in Texas, where a dad says my son is my son and the mom says my son is actually my daughter and is trans, at a certain point a parent is gonna be like, do not touch my child.

01:17:51.000 And then what?

01:17:53.000 I mean, it'll change when parents actually value their children.

01:17:56.000 You know, like we talk about in the public school system.

01:17:59.000 I've used this example a couple times before, but it's my classic frustration.

01:18:04.000 You have a middle-class dad, a father, and he has a kid who's in public school.

01:18:10.000 And that father, every time you see him, all you're going to hear him do is rail against the public school system while he works his 9 to 5 and his kid goes to the public school system.

01:18:19.000 And so, for 18 years, you just hear the same thing.

01:18:22.000 Public school system, blah blah blah blah blah.

01:18:24.000 Then Susie turns 18, and Dad takes $140,000 that he has saved up and sends Susie to college, where he continues to complain, and she ends up a communist and hates him.

01:18:34.000 Yeah.

01:18:35.000 What, like you failed as a father.

01:18:37.000 I saw, I think it was a Reddit post where a guy was like, my daughter came back, you know, for, for a break for like spring break or something.

01:18:45.000 And when she left, she was a normal, you know, high school kid graduated.

01:18:48.000 Now her head's shaven.

01:18:50.000 She's wearing weird makeup and she tells me she hates me and I'm evil.

01:18:53.000 It's like, yeah, well pay attention.

01:18:55.000 I'll tell you this, man, this idea that parents had where it's like, I can ignore what my child's, my, my, my child's life is like.

01:19:04.000 What they're being taught and what they're being indoctrinated with, I can ignore the raising of my child and they'll be okay?

01:19:12.000 Psychotic.

01:19:13.000 Yes, people care more about their pet's life than their child.

01:19:17.000 Their child has become a pet that they put up with and they, you know, feed it and then whatever.

01:19:23.000 But like, I think that's very serious.

01:19:25.000 I have to say this with absolute, like, seriousness.

01:19:30.000 Raising a family is your most important responsibility as a parent.

01:19:36.000 I guess I have to say this, not having kids yet of my own, but is to pass your values on to your children so that they will be... Because if they're your values, you believe in them, right?

01:19:48.000 And maybe they want their kids to be commies who hate them.

01:19:51.000 No, I mean, it's the same thing.

01:19:52.000 Let's just say I have any, insert any value.

01:19:55.000 If I believe that the Second Amendment is a moral value, I don't think that people owning firearms is a utility against a foreign government or against corruption.

01:20:06.000 I don't believe it is a utility argument, although it could have one.

01:20:09.000 I think that owning a firearm, firearms ownership on the citizen level is fundamentally a moral problem.

01:20:15.000 It is moral that people say, this is my country.

01:20:18.000 I have investiture in it.

01:20:19.000 It is my land.

01:20:20.000 I am a part of it.

01:20:22.000 I am part of this country.

01:20:23.000 Therefore, I take personal responsibility within my community to be able to do that.

01:20:28.000 So if I think that's a value and then I have a kid and say, you believe whatever you want, man, I don't want you, I don't want to push my beliefs on you.

01:20:34.000 You don't believe those things.

01:20:35.000 They're just a fashion statement to you.

01:20:37.000 You kind of just passed that belief on to me because if we were in a tribe 7,000 years ago and there were wild animals trying to attack and kill the tribe, if you were, if you didn't pick up a spear and attack and defend, you were acting immorally.

01:20:53.000 It is your moral duty as a human to produce a weapon and defend your tribe from That's kind of why we're seeing what we're seeing, I suppose. 0.99

01:21:03.000 But it's the government's monopoly on violence that I think is keeping everything in check, because I'll tell you this, man, there's probably a lot of people who are more traditionalist, and not even necessarily far-right, or even particularly that conservative, who are looking at what's going on with the abuse of children in this country, particularly in cities, and their eyes are probably twitching and veins are throbbing.

01:21:22.000 And it's scary stuff.

01:21:23.000 I mean, how can this country survive?

01:21:26.000 I see this poll about the Balkanization, you know?

01:21:29.000 37.2% want to break apart.

01:21:32.000 And I say, I get it.

01:21:34.000 I watched that video of that kid stripping for money at a club with men throwing money at him.

01:21:38.000 And I totally understand why people say, get New York and LA out of my country.

01:21:44.000 Because what else do you do about it?

01:21:47.000 I don't know, more local law.

01:21:51.000 That's a culture issue.

01:21:54.000 No city council came together and said we're going to make a child strip in front of other people. 0.99

01:22:00.000 That was a cultural decision.

01:22:02.000 And those people do not have your culture.

01:22:04.000 And their culture is in opposition of yours. 0.95

01:22:06.000 It's incompatible.

01:22:08.000 I'm going to use this as sarcastically as possible. 0.57

01:22:14.000 This great idea that all roads lead to Rome, that all religions are just the same, is ridiculous because all of them describe evil in completely different ways. 0.78

01:22:24.000 I think it's funny, there's like this weird meme where people keep calling me an atheist, and I don't know where that came from.

01:22:28.000 Well, you're agnostic, right?

01:22:28.000 What?

01:22:29.000 You're atheist. 0.85

01:22:30.000 No, I'm not.

01:22:31.000 I believe in God.

01:22:32.000 Okay.

01:22:32.000 He's atheist.

01:22:33.000 I'm kind of agnostic.

01:22:34.000 Oh yeah, I am A. No, I'm not theistic in the sense that I follow scripture or anything like that, but I believe in God.

01:22:39.000 How do you fall in this realm?

01:22:41.000 Oh, for like religious?

01:22:42.000 Yeah.

01:22:42.000 Yeah, you'd call it, I'm a reformed Christian.

01:22:45.000 What does that mean?

01:22:46.000 So reform is somewhat follows from the tradition of Calvin.

01:22:49.000 And there's, I mean, you can go multiple different ways, but think of it as like within the Christian, within what people refer to as Christianity, there are certain things that are sort of necessary doctrine.

01:22:59.000 So when you talk about praxi, that comes from a religious concept of praxi, doctrine versus praxi, practice.

01:23:08.000 So orthodoxy, what is the What is the accepted belief in orthopraxy?

01:23:14.000 What is the accepted practice?

01:23:15.000 So for me, one of the things is in the tension between the, in the tension between human free will and the sovereignty of God, right?

01:23:23.000 So if God knows all things, is all powerful, and is outside of time, do we really have free will?

01:23:29.000 I think it's, I think that free will is something, I live as though I have free will, but according to doctrine, I think that the sovereignty of God is much more important.

01:23:37.000 I think it's much more closer to being true.

01:23:40.000 So that means... Did you see that lightning strike, bro?

01:23:43.000 Yeah, I heard about it.

01:23:45.000 The George Floyd mural getting struck by lightning, blowing out the brick wall.

01:23:51.000 I checked the weather on that day and it was sunny with scattered clouds.

01:23:56.000 In the photos, the ground was mostly dry, which is to insinuate it rained very briefly.

01:24:02.000 Just enough for a lightning strike on the George Floyd mural.

01:24:05.000 That, that's freaky stuff.

01:24:07.000 A lot of people were saying it was a sign, God has spoken, there's memes of a hand coming out of clouds with a gun.

01:24:12.000 And I'm like, you know, look, sometimes lightning strikes buildings.

01:24:15.000 Happens actually all the time.

01:24:16.000 And this one happened to have a George Floyd mirror on it.

01:24:18.000 The agnosticism in me really shows as one person told me, hey, one lightning strike doesn't prove anything.

01:24:23.000 And I thought, well, it doesn't disprove it either.

01:24:25.000 That's true.

01:24:26.000 Yeah?

01:24:26.000 Well, what's the chance that the lightning would strike a building and blow out the torch?

01:24:32.000 That people were focusing on a lot?

01:24:34.000 If the human mind is a bunch of electrical, magnetic... I've seen some stuff, man.

01:24:39.000 Like, I'll tell you, if there was one thing that really, like, snapped something in my head, it was watching that kid strip on stage.

01:24:47.000 And the left cheering for it and clapping and seeing that four-year-old little girl twerking and they're cheering for it and I'm like dude I am like left-lib hippie on a farm live and let live be happy in there They're doing these things to kids like there is evil in this world man Then that lightning strike with everything I've seen I'm like man, you know Can you finish how you were about to say something about the dichotomy between orthodoxy and ortho- Oh, not the dichotomy between orthodoxy and proxy, but the tension between human free will and the sovereignty of God.

01:25:18.000 So the question is, are humans actually, do we have free will?

01:25:22.000 And we think so.

01:25:23.000 We generally think so, but from a theological doctrine, these two concepts exist in tension.

01:25:30.000 And so while I so what I would say is I believe and I believe that God is sovereign as in like everything from gravity is the continual action of God.

01:25:42.000 We are living through God's continual process of creation.

01:25:46.000 And so, in some ways, it's determined, but we're not capable of seeing it.

01:25:48.000 And the measurement or the mechanism of its determination, being determined, is bigger than our capacity to observe.

01:25:54.000 Gravity?

01:25:55.000 All of reality.

01:25:57.000 Because in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, right?

01:25:59.000 So, if God created, then I don't think that he created the earth and just said, okay, cool, let's see how this experiment plan plays out.

01:26:07.000 I think that the act that we're seeing, the world that we're seeing right now, he's continuously upholding the world as it is.

01:26:13.000 So the professor of mine that I studied under said, salt dissolves in water every time, the same time, because God is consistent and He, by His will, has salt dissolve in water every time.

01:26:25.000 Exactly the same way.

01:26:27.000 What we call laws of nature are just His continual action.

01:26:30.000 So that's on a metaphysics level.

01:26:33.000 And then from like historical and what I believe evil is, so the problem of evil, how can an all-perfect God, all-knowing God, or all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good God create a world where there's evil?

01:26:46.000 This is not a very intelligent question.

01:26:48.000 People usually use it as a stomping question.

01:26:50.000 It's not a very intelligent question because people have been answering it for 2,000 years.

01:26:54.000 If you're just coming to that now and you don't read a book, you're not asking the question, honestly.

01:26:58.000 I'm just going to jump to the table.

01:27:00.000 It's a difficult question and multiple theologians have answered it over the time, but the one that I fall under is that evil is the absence of God.

01:27:08.000 So sin entered the world as humankind sinned against God and they became less than they were intended to.

01:27:17.000 So it's the absence of God.

01:27:19.000 If God is the source of life, he's the source of all these other things.

01:27:22.000 And that's on what is evil, what is good.

01:27:25.000 God writes the laws of morality in the same way that he writes the laws of science.

01:27:32.000 They're absolute.

01:27:33.000 We just think of laws in human creations where I can break a human law and get away with it.

01:27:38.000 But you can't break the law of God and get away with it.

01:27:40.000 So do you think that like that lightning strike is God coming back to the scene in some way or something?

01:27:46.000 No, I don't.

01:27:47.000 You think just sometimes lightning strikes?

01:27:48.000 Yeah, I don't.

01:27:49.000 I think it's very dangerous to pretend that me, a human, can interpret something as the will of God when he gave us scripture.

01:27:58.000 And that's hard enough for me to comprehend.

01:28:03.000 I do believe that God acts in our world.

01:28:06.000 I'm just very, very, very skeptical when I see something happen.

01:28:11.000 Because I don't want to get caught up in this storm of...

01:28:16.000 For lack of better words, I don't think it's respectful, even in a theological sense, to interpret everything as if it's like, oh God is speaking to me.

01:28:27.000 I think that's a little dangerous.

01:28:29.000 Have you taken psychedelics?

01:28:31.000 No.

01:28:31.000 But to be consistent, if the act of salt dissolving in water is the process of God using like his power to make it happen, like continuing a scientific process, then how would it not be consistent to say that something like a lightning strike could be interpreted as God moving and acting?

01:28:46.000 Let me rephrase myself then.

01:28:48.000 Yes, you're correct in that.

01:28:49.000 I will cede that point.

01:28:50.000 Yes, it is God chose that to happen at that point, at that time, in that place.

01:28:56.000 However, I don't necessarily... I think I need to be humble in recognizing, is that event happening, the significance of it, is so that I will think something, or I will see it.

01:29:07.000 Is it a sign, is the question I'm saying.

01:29:09.000 And I'm very, very cautious about seeing things as signs, because those are things that you have to take very seriously.

01:29:15.000 For example, if I say, God spoke to me and told me to do something or whatever, and I don't do it, I am either lying or that is an absolute sin.

01:29:27.000 Because I have irrefutable evidence within the construct of my mind that he came to me and said, drink that soda, and I don't drink that soda.

01:29:35.000 I'm just basically saying, well, you are not God anymore.

01:29:39.000 I don't care.

01:29:40.000 And it's a huge issue there.

01:29:42.000 But then on the flip side, if you say that God told me to do something and He did not, you are lying.

01:29:48.000 In my mind, that is the form.

01:29:50.000 That is literally speaking for God.

01:29:53.000 That is taking God's name in vain.

01:29:55.000 Yeah, very much so.

01:29:56.000 And so it's one of those things where, like, when you address these issues from A very serious level.

01:30:02.000 If you take your faith seriously, you will not be flippant with lucid interpretations as if they're signs specifically from God telling you to do something.

01:30:12.000 Because you will take interpretation very, very, very seriously.

01:30:16.000 And that's where I see the big difference in.

01:30:18.000 I used to take signs too seriously.

01:30:20.000 It was driving me slowly insane.

01:30:22.000 Like I would see two birds flying and I'd be like, that means that I will find love.

01:30:27.000 You're going nuts, Crossland.

01:30:28.000 Take a step back. 0.87

01:30:30.000 He's become self-aware, everyone!

01:30:32.000 Maybe there is a grand, arcing, coercive plan, but I don't know.

01:30:36.000 I think it falls in the same line of conspiracy theory in the sense of it produces some of the same effects.

01:30:40.000 It's just a religious version of it.

01:30:42.000 Because like, yeah, when you're seeing everything as the conspiracy of the Illuminati, you go crazy because you lose your ability to Do you think God functions with intention?

01:30:52.000 Yeah, he's a person.

01:30:52.000 Absolutely.

01:30:53.000 world because everything has to be seen through the lines of the conspiracy.

01:30:57.000 Do you think God has in functions with intention?

01:31:00.000 Absolutely. Yeah, he's a person.

01:31:02.000 How would you define intention?

01:31:04.000 I think we understand intention because we understand that God has a will.

01:31:08.000 I think I wouldn't say I understand my intention and I'm going to ascribe that to God.

01:31:14.000 I think that you and I, to you and I, we have intention because I have both desires and when I pick up this magazine, I'm picking it up to do something.

01:31:24.000 When I'm writing, if my writing is not an act of intention, if I'm not creating out of intent, am I creating?

01:31:32.000 No.

01:31:33.000 And so the act of creation itself is a sign of intent.

01:31:38.000 Well, there you go.

01:31:39.000 How about we take some super chats?

01:31:40.000 I love it.

01:31:41.000 If you have not already, give that like button a nice little tap, subscribe to this channel, go to TimCast.com, become a member.

01:31:47.000 I'm just looking forward to waking up on Monday and seeing that new site.

01:31:50.000 It looks really nice.

01:31:52.000 Because within the next, I think next, what are we at?

01:31:56.000 About a week from now.

01:31:58.000 Week and a half.

01:31:59.000 We're gonna start working on the production for the new show.

01:32:02.000 The name has not been released yet.

01:32:03.000 We're gonna secure all the domains and all the social medias and all that stuff.

01:32:07.000 And then we're gonna actually have some writers who do, um...

01:32:12.000 I don't know what the right word is.

01:32:13.000 I don't want to say investigation, but like, you know, the X-Files.

01:32:17.000 I think the X-Files is kind of a cool way to think about it.

01:32:19.000 You guys have seen the X-Files, right?

01:32:21.000 I'm aware of it.

01:32:22.000 It's not just one thing.

01:32:23.000 It's kind of like looking in from a skeptic's point of view of what these things could possibly be and exploring these spooky stories and having fun with it.

01:32:31.000 So that's coming, baby!

01:32:33.000 Let's see what we got.

01:32:33.000 Smash that like button.

01:32:35.000 Michael Luce says, I'm an audio engineer and composer.

01:32:38.000 I've worked with the Tennis Channel WWE and wrote music for a local award, writing indie films.

01:32:42.000 Daily emails aren't getting your attention, so I knew I had to step it up.

01:32:45.000 More samples coming your way.

01:32:47.000 Well, the issue is, we might have somebody, and we have thousands of emails, and I can't answer all of them.

01:32:53.000 So, you know, I apologize, man.

01:32:56.000 It's...

01:32:58.000 It kind of sucks, you know?

01:32:59.000 Like, you're like, hey, I want to send my email in, but there's only so many people here who can actually read every email, and we literally couldn't do it. 0.77

01:33:04.000 It's kind of like if you're looking for a drop of water, and someone hands you a bucket of water, and you're like, where are all the drops?

01:33:09.000 They're all in there, but it just looks like water.

01:33:12.000 It's like I said, I need a glass of water, and they handed me a bucket, so I took a cup, and I scooped out a cup of water, and all of that other water is saying, no, but I want to be in the cup.

01:33:19.000 It's a sign from God.

01:33:20.000 Like, you know, we're not we're not saying we're not happy with you being water, but you know, we can only fit so much

01:33:24.000 in the cup It's a sign from God. That's right

01:33:27.000 All right Let's see

01:33:29.000 Broken word says if the point of the show is to red pill Ian then the red pill is the only pill Ian hasn't tried

01:33:36.000 By his own admission. I want to go so deep So many things my mind's I would like to hear that chat

01:33:44.000 again mate super chat again We need a meme of like all these different colored pills in

01:33:47.000 front of Ian Yeah, and then the next panel is he's eating them all and

01:33:51.000 he's just blasted out of his mind The red ones just sitting there like the one you didn't eat. 0.99

01:33:54.000 I Dude, I feel like I got red-pilled when I saw, what was it, Aaron Russo's, what did Aaron Russo do, that movie he did in 2007?

01:34:02.000 It wasn't Loose Change, was it?

01:34:04.000 Zeitgeist, Loose Change, all these things about 9-11, the war in Iraq, I feel like I got so red-pilled And now I just have to keep saying, like, most people didn't get it back then.

01:34:15.000 And I just like, yo, just stay cool, man.

01:34:18.000 Stay under the radar, chill, and find a solution.

01:34:22.000 But I would love to talk about some of this stuff.

01:34:24.000 I just don't talk about it on the show.

01:34:26.000 All right.

01:34:26.000 Redeemed One says, my wife is a five foot tall Latina from Mexico who supported Trump months before I did.

01:34:31.000 She regularly buys Recoil Magazine and the looks she gets at checkout are priceless.

01:34:36.000 Oh, thank you.

01:34:37.000 I'm happy to hear that.

01:34:38.000 And by the way, you also can subscribe to the magazine on our website, Recoil Web.

01:34:42.000 That's the best way to get it for the best price consistently.

01:34:46.000 Do you ever put barcodes in the magazine that you can scan and it'll take you to a secret web page?

01:34:46.000 Awesome.

01:34:52.000 Let's talk after.

01:34:53.000 I like it.

01:34:54.000 Oh, snap. 0.99

01:34:54.000 I like it. 0.99

01:34:57.000 Chuckin Shank says, as a 26-year-old first-time father-to-be, the crew and the good people they are surrounding themselves with gives me great hope.

01:35:04.000 Thank you from the three of us.

01:35:06.000 Congratulations!

01:35:07.000 That's exciting.

01:35:09.000 Thank you.

01:35:10.000 Doug Smith says, I just noticed someone gave you $5 more than me, so here's another $10.

01:35:13.000 Oh, there you go.

01:35:14.000 Unacceptable.

01:35:17.000 All right, let's see.

01:35:20.000 Menzikoski?

01:35:23.000 If trust is broken in one place, restrictions are imposed everywhere.

01:35:27.000 CCP and the Biden administration.

01:35:29.000 Interesting.

01:35:32.000 Keith McCracken says, I understand to some extent to why the Cuban people use the American flag as a symbol against their government.

01:35:38.000 What I think is that they need to create a flag to represent their freedom.

01:35:43.000 It was hot, though.

01:35:44.000 I was feeling you for a second, Lydia.

01:35:45.000 That was hot.

01:35:46.000 Did you guys feel how hot it was, like, 30 seconds ago?

01:35:48.000 Yeah, I was starting to kick up.

01:35:51.000 We have a new air conditioner in the studio room.

01:35:53.000 Even though we're moving from this room to a new studio room, which is gonna be crazy.

01:35:57.000 It looks cool.

01:35:58.000 The table's gonna be mounted to the ceiling.

01:36:01.000 Super creative guys working on it.

01:36:02.000 So is it like hanging?

01:36:04.000 It'll be hanging from like some bars.

01:36:07.000 The bars that we hang it from are gonna be used to mount the cameras and the lights and everything.

01:36:11.000 So it's gonna be really interesting.

01:36:13.000 We might have to put the cameras on the walls though.

01:36:16.000 It's gonna be fun!

01:36:16.000 We'll see how we get it.

01:36:18.000 The room's technically a little bigger, but the ceiling's a standard ceiling, whereas this one we have this elevated ceiling, so it gives you, like, more space.

01:36:26.000 Yeah, this one's an A-frame.

01:36:27.000 The one down there is flat.

01:36:29.000 Yeah.

01:36:30.000 Because this one's actually on top of that one.

01:36:31.000 It's true.

01:36:32.000 But it'll be cool.

01:36:32.000 Yeah.

01:36:34.000 The AC will make sense there.

01:36:36.000 Sorry about that, guys.

01:36:37.000 No worries.

01:36:38.000 I kind of like the temperature change.

01:36:40.000 All right, let's see.

01:36:42.000 Malzi says, Good evening, Timothy.

01:36:43.000 You have a tremendous responsibility to tell the truth.

01:36:46.000 Only put forth that which can withstand the onslaught.

01:36:48.000 Also, I'm relieved to see you don't wear toe rings.

01:36:51.000 Thanks, you.

01:36:51.000 Oh, is that because of the vlog?

01:36:53.000 I was like, they got a clip of your foot.

01:36:55.000 Yeah, I saw that.

01:36:56.000 Yeah, because I was walking around on the mulberries.

01:36:58.000 When you go to pick mulberries, they're everywhere.

01:37:01.000 So your feet turn purple.

01:37:03.000 And then I made a joke about, like, someone got to put it on celebrity feet, I guess.

01:37:06.000 But they're all, like, covered in purple stains.

01:37:08.000 That was the joke.

01:37:08.000 That's weird.

01:37:09.000 Weird, creepy, yeah.

01:37:10.000 Mulberry only fans would count.

01:37:12.000 I'm not a fan of mulberries.

01:37:14.000 Really?

01:37:14.000 Yeah, I don't like them.

01:37:16.000 The wine berries are good.

01:37:17.000 They're kind of boring, right?

01:37:18.000 Yeah, they're pretty... The good news is, um, we got tons of pawpaw.

01:37:22.000 Oh, good.

01:37:22.000 Yeah, we got a lot of pawpaw.

01:37:24.000 And it's hard to grow, so we're really excited for this.

01:37:27.000 If you go to our sister page, Recoil Off-Grid, we do have articles.

01:37:31.000 One of them is Pawpaw's actually a really good survival food.

01:37:34.000 Perfect.

01:37:35.000 So if you want to go for more of the survivalist side, it's all Off-Grid.

01:37:38.000 That's another magazine of ours.

01:37:42.000 Off-Grid looks cool.

01:37:43.000 It's really neat.

01:37:45.000 John Doe says, Mr. Poole, we've been trying to reach you about your vehicle's extended warranty.

01:37:49.000 It's all serious.

01:37:51.000 It had to happen.

01:37:53.000 We used to get a bunch of those.

01:37:55.000 Garant says, in regards to classifying the American left, they are race-based Marxists.

01:38:01.000 The progressive stack exemplifies a racial caste system.

01:38:04.000 Race-based Marxists support dehumanization to children.

01:38:07.000 RBM has more in common with Germany with salutes than USA. 0.96

01:38:12.000 RBM is evil.

01:38:13.000 Interesting.

01:38:17.000 A-da-da-da-da-do! 0.98

01:38:19.000 Mm.

01:38:19.000 People don't like Vosh.

01:38:21.000 I know it.

01:38:21.000 Yep.

01:38:22.000 People are saying a lot of stuff.

01:38:23.000 That's right.

01:38:24.000 Yep.

01:38:25.000 IroncladVR says, Wisdom was traded for intelligence.

01:38:28.000 Conversation on difficult ideas helped build wisdom and fine-tune our intelligence.

01:38:32.000 On a different note, I'm developing a game and want to work under the Timcast umbrella.

01:38:36.000 How do?

01:38:37.000 Send it to pitches at Timcast.com.

01:38:40.000 Let's see what that game is.

01:38:42.000 I will say, knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.

01:38:46.000 Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

01:38:50.000 What's that saying?

01:38:51.000 The continuation is that philosophy is trying to figure out if ketchup is a smoothie.

01:38:56.000 That sounds disgusting.

01:38:57.000 That's awesome.

01:38:58.000 I have never heard that before.

01:38:59.000 I saw that the other day.

01:39:00.000 I was like, oh yeah.

01:39:01.000 Well, as someone who went to school for philosophy, I'm both offended and impressed.

01:39:04.000 It's true.

01:39:05.000 It's accurate.

01:39:06.000 But no, ketchup's not a smoothie.

01:39:08.000 How do you figure?

01:39:09.000 Smoothies are cold?

01:39:11.000 No, because you don't throw tomatoes into a blender to make ketchup.

01:39:14.000 Oh, how do they make it?

01:39:16.000 Well, first you have to get specific tomatoes.

01:39:18.000 They have to be reduced.

01:39:20.000 Cook it down.

01:39:20.000 You cook it down.

01:39:21.000 You add sugar.

01:39:22.000 Then you get a tomato paste.

01:39:23.000 Then you mix like vinegar and spices.

01:39:26.000 And that is knowledge.

01:39:27.000 There you go.

01:39:28.000 Yeah.

01:39:29.000 So to make a smoothie, you take, you can literally walk outside, grab it.

01:39:32.000 I'll make a tomato smoothie.

01:39:33.000 I'll walk outside, grab a bunch of tomatoes, throw them in the blender and then pour some ice in it, blend it up.

01:39:37.000 And I got a tomato smoothie.

01:39:38.000 Sounds pretty good.

01:39:39.000 That's not the same thing.

01:39:40.000 If you took strawberries and you put them in a pot and you mashed them up and cooked them down.

01:39:46.000 You would get a jam.

01:39:48.000 Yeah, so it's more like a jam.

01:39:49.000 Yeah, than a smoothie.

01:39:50.000 But it's not ketchup's a jam, more of a jam.

01:39:51.000 No, no.

01:39:52.000 Because after you get the tomato paste, you then have to process it further.

01:39:55.000 Super processed.

01:39:55.000 Oh, okay.

01:39:56.000 Yeah, come on, come on. 0.99

01:39:57.000 Sorry, sorry.

01:39:57.000 All right, all right.

01:39:58.000 Trying to pull this philosophy junk with ketchup. 0.96

01:40:01.000 You didn't even get me started. 0.98

01:40:02.000 I know.

01:40:03.000 What's mayonnaise?

01:40:04.000 Oh, gosh.

01:40:04.000 Eggs?

01:40:05.000 It's actually really- A puree?

01:40:06.000 Yeah, I've made mayonnaise before.

01:40:07.000 It's really fascinating.

01:40:08.000 Yeah, it's like, it's an emulsion.

01:40:10.000 Yeah, that's crazy, isn't it?

01:40:11.000 Yeah, it's like an opal.

01:40:13.000 Then you said a rock.

01:40:14.000 It's an emulsion.

01:40:15.000 Okay, so rocks are emulsion.

01:40:17.000 I mean, opals are an emulsion as well.

01:40:18.000 Really?

01:40:19.000 Which is why I love them.

01:40:19.000 The rock?

01:40:21.000 It's weird.

01:40:21.000 How's that?

01:40:21.000 Yeah!

01:40:22.000 We'll talk about this after.

01:40:22.000 It's crazy.

01:40:23.000 It's really interesting.

01:40:25.000 We'll get into it.

01:40:27.000 Daniel Bundrick says, leftism is what happens when someone decides to give in and just wear the golden handcuffs. 0.96

01:40:35.000 You know, um, I think it's a lot of, there's a reason young people are leftists, and it's because the establishment manipulates ignorant people to gain power.

01:40:47.000 And so, you can have someone like me, people are like, someone commented, Tim abandoned leftism or whatever, and I'm like, dude, what left and right means is nebulous, it's like tribal signifiers or whatever.

01:40:57.000 But you have young people who are very much pro-establishment, like that 18-year-old girl who went with the Biden administration to, like, support vaccines in children or whatever.

01:41:05.000 It's like, these kids would gladly go and cheer on the establishment, the state.

01:41:10.000 They graffiti Black Lives Matter.

01:41:13.000 You know, it's like, the joke I was making, it might as well be like writing walmart.com in graffiti, like, yeah! 0.98

01:41:17.000 F the establishment!

01:41:18.000 Pro-Walmart!

01:41:19.000 You're like, bro, that is the establishment.

01:41:20.000 What are you doing?

01:41:21.000 You're not fighting anybody, you're part of the machine!

01:41:24.000 They prey upon young people. 0.52

01:41:24.000 But that's what they do. 0.52

01:41:26.000 That's what you get.

01:41:28.000 So they grow up and then they're like, Hey, wait a minute.

01:41:31.000 That was BS.

01:41:32.000 Yeah.

01:41:34.000 Hopefully.

01:41:35.000 And it's not just the, the act of growing up that will, that will help you wake up.

01:41:38.000 You got to kind of look for it.

01:41:41.000 Maybe.

01:41:41.000 I did it anyway.

01:41:43.000 You have to humble yourself.

01:41:44.000 You have to seek it out.

01:41:45.000 Jonathan Galterini says, you just made the Amazon device go off in my house, go off across my house.

01:41:50.000 That's powerful.

01:41:52.000 There was there was this big thing that happened when Google did a commercial where they said, you know, it's like whatever their catchphrase, call phrases for the device and then everyone's devices would turn on.

01:42:00.000 Oh.

01:42:01.000 Yeah, so now I think what they've done is all these voice-activated devices, when they do commercials, specifically program that sound not to trigger the device.

01:42:08.000 How interesting. 0.99

01:42:09.000 But it was really annoying when I was watching TV and they would say the name of the thing and then it would turn on and go, I'm sorry, and I'd be like, fix your stupid crap. 0.99

01:42:18.000 It's also kind of funny that they didn't see that happening. 0.99

01:42:20.000 I know, right?

01:42:21.000 It makes sense why you wouldn't, but...

01:42:23.000 Yeah, Google I heard was very disorganized when they had Google Plus and YouTube, it would be like two, two hands not knowing what the other hand was doing.

01:42:30.000 And they were like developing two parallel systems that worked similar, but totally different.

01:42:36.000 That sounds right.

01:42:37.000 You guys ready for this one?

01:42:38.000 I'm going to read this one.

01:42:40.000 Do it.

01:42:40.000 I'm doing it.

01:42:41.000 To everybody who's got one of those Amazon devices, you're going to love this.

01:42:47.000 Alexa, Order Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds by Michael Knowles.

01:42:55.000 What you gonna say?

01:42:58.000 She's talking to us right now.

01:43:08.000 Can you guys hear that?

01:43:09.000 It's in the cart.

01:43:10.000 It's in the cart, but she didn't buy it.

01:43:13.000 $19.

01:43:13.000 How do I confirm it?

01:43:14.000 I don't know.

01:43:16.000 Okay.

01:43:20.000 Somebody super, so that was Rainek, who super chatted that.

01:43:24.000 And now I'm wondering how many people listening to the show are going, stop, stop.

01:43:27.000 Wow, that's powerful.

01:43:30.000 Michael's going to notice a huge spike in sales.

01:43:34.000 We sold 25,000 copies just instantly.

01:43:37.000 Ladies and gentlemen, it is in your cart.

01:43:38.000 That's right.

01:43:40.000 Can you be held accountable?

01:43:41.000 I don't know.

01:43:43.000 So now they're like, Tim, I need you to pay my Amazon bill now.

01:43:47.000 I was just reading a free speech.

01:43:49.000 I can say what I want.

01:43:50.000 It's Amazon's fault.

01:43:52.000 So I'm curious.

01:43:54.000 People are chatting.

01:43:55.000 She's ordering at OMG. 1.00

01:43:56.000 Shut up, Alexa. 1.00

01:43:59.000 That Reynick that was the best I saw that and I was like if I read that she's gonna actually work. 1.00

01:44:03.000 Hey Yours is in your cart wasn't Yeah, it doesn't auto by just because you said it's a whole new version of mass media marketing perfect number one He's one of those people that I felt like I knew for a long like growing up kind of when I'm when I met Osama met him and I like that.

01:44:23.000 Did you ever listen to his podcast?

01:44:24.000 He's very personable.

01:44:26.000 Only a little bit.

01:44:27.000 I catch snippets.

01:44:28.000 He's great.

01:44:28.000 I've never met him.

01:44:29.000 He's super cool.

01:44:30.000 Alright, let's read this.

01:44:31.000 He says, just bought a used Springfield 1911 in 10mm and the previous owner committed sacrilege by putting, what does he say, Trijicon RMR on it?

01:44:31.000 We got Butters Oregano.

01:44:40.000 Trijicon RMR?

01:44:41.000 Yeah, he put a red nutside on it.

01:44:42.000 Your thoughts on pistols with red dots, Forrest?

01:44:44.000 They're the future.

01:44:45.000 If you're not going to get on that board, then you're just... Really?

01:44:47.000 Yeah, they're the future.

01:44:47.000 Absolutely.

01:44:48.000 Interesting.

01:44:49.000 I don't think they're going to be universal.

01:44:51.000 There are certain applications where it doesn't make sense, but you got to remember, like, that's not, it's kind of a new thing.

01:44:56.000 Putting red dots on pistols is sort of a, it's, it's, it's, it's in its adolescent years.

01:45:00.000 We're just starting to get, uh, handguns designed to be, to have a red dot sight on top of it.

01:45:06.000 It's easier to explain, but I mean, if, and if you know what I'm talking about, uh, most pistols have iron sights.

01:45:12.000 But this one here, this revolver, it's got a little red dot sight.

01:45:15.000 So if you think of like, you know, the revolver has one, but like everyday carry defense handguns are now coming either directly out of the box, like the Springfield Hellcat's a really good example, the RDP does.

01:45:27.000 That's it.

01:45:28.000 What I'm going to say is red dots, for those who are not, that are like hesitant of getting into red dots, they have a distinct set of advantages and a very small set of disadvantages.

01:45:38.000 What are those?

01:45:40.000 The higher end advantages is we're seeing generally that once you get past the growing curve, performance goes up pretty well.

01:45:47.000 Also, if you have to take shots at distance, the red dot is much faster.

01:45:51.000 Another really good example that I use is just for human mechanics.

01:45:57.000 When I'm using a pistol with iron sights, what I do is my eye looks at what my target is and then the focal plane comes back to the iron sight.

01:46:05.000 So my focal plane is actually on the iron sight.

01:46:08.000 When I'm using a red dot, I look at my target and I put the dot on it and I don't change my focal plane.

01:46:13.000 So from a biomechanical method, it does make some sense.

01:46:17.000 It's one less movement if you count moving your focal plane.

01:46:21.000 You think the average person's accuracy would improve with a red dot on a handgun?

01:46:25.000 Yes, with a caveat.

01:46:28.000 The growing curve, the learning curve on red dots mounted on handguns is awkward.

01:46:33.000 Why's that?

01:46:34.000 Because it's it's the it's just I don't know how to say it otherwise it's you need to build the muscle memory which is not the right term I know don't go nuclear on me but you need to build the habitual movements because aligning iron sights is a lot easier because you know what when you when you're off you know where you're off because you know where the sights are whereas when you're off on the red dot when it's not in the window because your pistol's canted you don't know which way it is so you see people fishing for it And what you need to do is you need to spend the time dry firing.

01:47:04.000 It's not, it doesn't take long, in some models it's easier to get over that curve, but you need to practice with it until you can reliably, every time I draw that handgun and I present it, that dot is right in the center of that glass.

01:47:16.000 So much so that it's practiced.

01:47:18.000 Once you get past that curve, which, you know, it could be, can be accomplished with a hundred rounds and a decent amount of dry fire practice, which is just practicing without ammunition.

01:47:28.000 Otherwise, 500 rounds.

01:47:30.000 But it's a deliberate thing.

01:47:31.000 One of the reasons why a lot of people don't like red dots is because they don't want to put in the work to be able to use them.

01:47:37.000 Understandably so if you're very casual.

01:47:40.000 They also do have other downsides like they can be damaged by weather.

01:47:44.000 They can get dirty.

01:47:45.000 They require a battery.

01:47:47.000 These are all disadvantages, but those advantages are getting smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller.

01:47:52.000 The Aimpoint Acro is a self-concealed little red dot that goes on a pistol.

01:47:58.000 It's not going to be damaged by the environment in the same way that a Trijicon RMR is.

01:48:02.000 So yeah, if it's a sacrilege to put it on, I'd say the first sacrilege is that it's a 10mm 1911.

01:48:08.000 Yeah, I figured.

01:48:09.000 But, I mean, you do you, boo.

01:48:14.000 Alright, Patrick Conover says, Tim, railguns like flamethrowers and muzzleloaders are not classified as firearms and would likely similarly be unregulated, at least on a federal level.

01:48:23.000 Do you think muzzleloaders are classified as firearms by YouTube?

01:48:28.000 Uh, yes.

01:48:29.000 And then the answer is, as soon as you could effectively produce railguns in your house, they'd become guns.

01:48:29.000 They would do it.

01:48:34.000 Right.

01:48:34.000 The moment that you can make them, then the government will be like, oh, hey, they're effective.

01:48:37.000 Well, hold on, hold on, hold on.

01:48:38.000 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on.

01:48:39.000 What if, what if, you hear me out, you have, imagine this is a metal circle with pipes coming out.

01:48:47.000 There's, you know, so you've got three, you've got basically eight pipes, right?

01:48:52.000 And then you have a big magazine tube loaded with slugs, and what happens is a steam engine spins the disc rapidly, and the way it's made is that every time it comes around, a slug gets slinged.

01:49:10.000 It grabs it, then swings it as it spins rapidly.

01:49:13.000 Would that be a good idea?

01:49:15.000 That's a steam-powered machine gun.

01:49:16.000 I was just thinking, the Railgun is an electromagnetic sling.

01:49:20.000 Thank you for saying that word, sling. 0.50

01:49:21.000 So what I'm describing has actually been built before.

01:49:24.000 Steam power spins this disc at a really high rate of speed, and then it grabs a slug and then whips it really fast and fires him forward.

01:49:31.000 That's similar to the Railgun. 0.99

01:49:32.000 Steam-powered Gatling gun or something.

01:49:34.000 Crazy, right?

01:49:35.000 Yeah.

01:49:36.000 Is it considered ballistic if it's thrown?

01:49:38.000 Is that considered ballistic if you throw something?

01:49:40.000 Well, ballistic doesn't refer to it being fired out of a projectile through pressure.

01:49:45.000 A ballistic is, it's a thing.

01:49:50.000 Something moving.

01:49:51.000 Yeah.

01:49:52.000 Ballistics is in regards to trajectory and impact of a projectile.

01:49:57.000 So it would be ballistic, a rail gun, but it's still not considered a gun or rail cannon or whatever.

01:50:02.000 I mean, they're called rail guns, right?

01:50:04.000 A spinny steam thingy?

01:50:05.000 Yes.

01:50:05.000 Yeah.

01:50:06.000 Let's go back to that.

01:50:07.000 Jack's Mountain Tea Dude says, someone gave more than me again, so here's $35, which is the price of our essential oil for muscle soreness.

01:50:07.000 Spinny steam thingy.

01:50:14.000 Ooh, that sounds good.

01:50:15.000 Relieved.

01:50:15.000 Free local delivery.

01:50:16.000 Go Army.

01:50:17.000 Nice.

01:50:17.000 Good for them.

01:50:19.000 Matt Bowler says, as I mentioned yesterday, you need to analyze the data further.

01:50:23.000 Metadata is incredibly important, as you know, Tim, considering your objective analysis of journalism.

01:50:27.000 We're going to eventually have some data journalists, too, so they can better go through the stuff than me and my surface-level opinion, which is probably full of inaccuracies.

01:50:36.000 Turk Longwell says, Tim, are you hard pivoting from civil war to balkanization?

01:50:40.000 Also, I do daily YouGov polls.

01:50:42.000 We, uh, we need more people taking them.

01:50:44.000 Be the voice.

01:50:46.000 Um, I mean, look, when I say things like that, it's usually meant to be like a, hey, this thing's possible if these things keep happening.

01:50:53.000 A lot of people seem to think that if I say something where it's like, wow, this kind of thing happening is like, puts us on this track.

01:51:00.000 They're like, Tim has predicted this will happen.

01:51:02.000 Then something funny happens.

01:51:03.000 When it does happen, they're like, you predicted this.

01:51:05.000 And I'm like, I just gave a bunch of vague possibilities.

01:51:08.000 It's like Nostradamus, man.

01:51:09.000 Not hard to do.

01:51:10.000 But then when it doesn't happen, they're like, you said it would happen.

01:51:13.000 I'm like, I kind of didn't.

01:51:14.000 I can't see the future, man.

01:51:16.000 I'm just saying, like, I think some things are more possible.

01:51:18.000 So I, you know, I was talking with Sean Fitzgerald the other day, like after the show, and I was just like, Everything we've seen since the start of the culture war has only gotten worse.

01:51:27.000 Considering that keeps happening, I'm inclined to believe it will get worse. 0.66

01:51:31.000 That doesn't mean the world's gonna end, our lives are gonna suck.

01:51:34.000 Like, people live through these things and they get by.

01:51:37.000 I think people will individually be fine.

01:51:39.000 As a whole, though, the United States will experience some dark times.

01:51:42.000 I mean, look what's happening with the White House being like, we're overtly colluding with big tech to censor people and we're gonna make it worse.

01:51:47.000 Like yeah, who would have thought we'd come to that point when we saw big tech censoring someone for saying learn to code that it would turn into the White House press secretary saying we want cross-platform censorship for anybody posting information that is inaccurate.

01:52:01.000 It's like, wow, that escalated somewhat quickly.

01:52:07.000 Yeah, I would say so.

01:52:08.000 So I always say this.

01:52:09.000 Hey, maybe today's the day that everyone just lays down their figurative sword and says, I don't want to be engaged in the political battles anymore.

01:52:17.000 I want to hug my neighbor and we're going to hold hands and sing into the sunshine.

01:52:20.000 Is that, is it possible?

01:52:22.000 Sure.

01:52:23.000 I just don't think that's likely.

01:52:24.000 Right, because the real thing is when people stop thinking and have clear thought and have no thought.

01:52:29.000 That's when we're really going to find human peace.

01:52:31.000 It's not thinking, I love you, I want, I want.

01:52:34.000 It's when there is no thought.

01:52:37.000 We will get there eventually.

01:52:38.000 Maybe not all of us, but you can.

01:52:40.000 We will achieve human peace when we're all dead?

01:52:43.000 No, no, just in a meditative state.

01:52:44.000 When we're able to control our thoughts and not have these wild thoughts just pop into our head constantly.

01:52:49.000 When you can clear your mind and have access to your emotions.

01:52:52.000 I think that would be when we have the moral discipline to not engage in immoral activity.

01:52:57.000 Yeah.

01:52:58.000 And humility.

01:53:01.000 When you go and you confess, confession helps that a lot.

01:53:04.000 Clear your mind.

01:53:05.000 All right.

01:53:06.000 Rye Lyon says, my son was born this week.

01:53:08.000 He is the joy of my life already.

01:53:10.000 This super chat is for him.

01:53:12.000 That it helps you keep this country free and the culture American.

01:53:16.000 You are doing the right thing for your child by supporting our work.

01:53:20.000 I mean that.

01:53:20.000 I'm half kidding.

01:53:21.000 I think we do good work here and I think we're going to continue to do good work and I'm going to try my best and everybody on the TempCast team is going to try to present a reasonable, pragmatic, and principled approach to providing people with information so they can make up their minds as to what they think should be happening.

01:53:37.000 But right now the media apparatus today is we should just frame things in a way that people do things that we want.

01:53:42.000 That's called lying to people.

01:53:44.000 Congratulations!

01:53:45.000 Yeah, so if somebody does something that is good, if you lie to someone and they do something that is good, do they get the credit of morality?

01:53:53.000 If they're not doing it by their own will?

01:53:55.000 That's kind of like the end of, what's that movie with Dr. Manhattan?

01:53:59.000 Watchmen?

01:54:00.000 Watchmen.

01:54:01.000 They lied, Ozymandias lied to the human race to prevent world war. 1.00

01:54:05.000 Did he do the right thing?

01:54:07.000 What was your question exactly?

01:54:08.000 Deontology versus utilitarianism.

01:54:10.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:54:11.000 Simply put, right?

01:54:12.000 Like if you're lying to prevent a tragedy, are you good?

01:54:16.000 The needs of the many.

01:54:17.000 Do you believe the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?

01:54:20.000 No, not necessarily.

01:54:21.000 That was Spock.

01:54:22.000 That was Spock.

01:54:23.000 That's utilitarianism.

01:54:23.000 Yeah, because the many can overrun.

01:54:24.000 Typically the villains hold those views.

01:54:26.000 The needs of the many over...

01:54:27.000 That way the needs of the few, like the bad guy in Kingsmen.

01:54:30.000 Yeah, too many is as bad as too few, so you gotta be careful.

01:54:33.000 Well, another way you could reform utilitarianism is that we are capable of measuring the net goodness and we determine whether a thing is moral or immoral if it produces a net goodness.

01:54:44.000 So, if I kill 10,000 people to save 100,000 people, well, 100,000 people survive, so that's a net good.

01:54:51.000 That's the ultimate dilemma of utilitarianism is, okay, well, no, we actually don't think that way.

01:55:01.000 There is a train coming, and there are five people tied to the train track.

01:55:06.000 Save them all.

01:55:06.000 Get them.

01:55:07.000 And as the train's coming, you walk over and there's a lever.

01:55:10.000 If you pull the lever, it will divert the train onto a new track with only one person. 0.97

01:55:14.000 You will save the five, but kill the one. 0.98

01:55:16.000 Probably. 0.99

01:55:16.000 Do you pull the lever? 0.99

01:55:18.000 So that person would survive if you don't intervene.

01:55:20.000 He's safe.

01:55:21.000 Yeah, but I'm not going to let five people die for no reason.

01:55:24.000 Dude, what a terrifying situation.

01:55:25.000 That's being the American president is what it seems like.

01:55:27.000 Who's gonna live?

01:55:28.000 That's your decision.

01:55:29.000 This person on the off track is safe. 0.96

01:55:33.000 You would have to condemn them to death to decide those five people deserve to live. 0.70

01:55:37.000 That's brutal, man. 0.95

01:55:38.000 Most people say they wouldn't pull the lever.

01:55:38.000 Yep.

01:55:40.000 They would let the five people die.

01:55:41.000 They just wouldn't get involved.

01:55:42.000 Well, doing nothing is also a choice, so... It's not about not getting involved.

01:55:45.000 It's about taking action that would kill a person.

01:55:48.000 Right now, it's like, something happened that set this course of action that will kill five people, and I have to tell that person's family I killed him to save those people.

01:55:56.000 Like, if it was... Because I think if it is a very base level, if I'm forming a tribe, Having five more people in the tribe is probably going to be a lot better than having one more person, if it's just me.

01:56:06.000 Like, the six of us can get a lot done, build houses, irrigation.

01:56:10.000 Me and that one person, good luck.

01:56:13.000 You're still making an argument out of utility.

01:56:15.000 It does come into a problem.

01:56:17.000 Another format of the issue, too, would be if I threaten you with violence and have the capacity to do it, if I figuratively point a gun at you and then give you one and tell him to point it at Ian and tell you to do Do Ian in, are you considered, are you morally held liable for your decision?

01:56:36.000 Yes.

01:56:36.000 Yes, absolutely.

01:56:37.000 You chose to value your own life over your morality and the life of Ian.

01:56:42.000 My favorite meme is, there's two memes in the Trolley Problem that are my favorite.

01:56:46.000 One is, it's one track, loaded with people, and the trolley's just mowing them all down, and it says, the trolley can stop at any time, but it would disrupt corporate profits to the shareholders.

01:56:56.000 That was good.

01:56:57.000 But then the other one is the train is on like, it's a fully drawn picture and the train's going through a tunnel and there's like mountains and there's one guy who's dead and one guy standing there and it says, you've finally defeated the man who's been tying all these people to the train tracks.

01:57:12.000 It's all over.

01:57:15.000 That one gets my respect.

01:57:17.000 I like those.

01:57:18.000 It's gorgeous.

01:57:19.000 All right.

01:57:19.000 It's all over.

01:57:20.000 Crandall Logan says, just join the website and can't wait for the new one to drop.

01:57:24.000 Will it be easier to search videos by guest?

01:57:26.000 Because I was looking for a specific video on YouTube and it was probably censored and was having trouble searching for it on your website.

01:57:32.000 It will be way easier.

01:57:33.000 So right now, We have like a placeholder website that we implemented.

01:57:37.000 And now we have like big dev working, like a great team working on this new website so that you can easily search by topic, by name, all that stuff.

01:57:46.000 So, uh, it should definitely be a lot easier, but I will say our, our soft launch, our target is for Monday.

01:57:51.000 Could change.

01:57:52.000 We'll see.

01:57:53.000 Even when we do launch, that's when the bugs happen.

01:57:55.000 And then we get a thousand emails from people like, Hey, this bug happened.

01:57:59.000 And then we're like, Oh, what are we doing?

01:58:00.000 We're desperately trying to fix it and help everybody.

01:58:02.000 Cause you know how website launches go.

01:58:04.000 Right.

01:58:04.000 But we're going to title by guest name, right?

01:58:06.000 We do.

01:58:06.000 Yeah.

01:58:07.000 There you go.

01:58:08.000 So that should help.

01:58:08.000 Is there a search mechanism on the new site?

01:58:11.000 Yes.

01:58:11.000 You should be able to just type in the guest name and it should pop up.

01:58:14.000 Awesome.

01:58:15.000 Yeah.

01:58:16.000 And there's also recommended feeds for the videos too.

01:58:19.000 So like old ones will surface again and we're going to be improving SEO.

01:58:23.000 you'll be able to find these videos and there's a better mechanism for which we can publish some

01:58:27.000 of them for free or like demo so like if there's a really important conversation we're having that

01:58:32.000 we think shouldn't be behind a paywall we can make it as like a free trial for people to like

01:58:37.000 so important to see a preview like a like a two or three minute preview from a video

01:58:41.000 We're definitely going to decide if they want to sign up.

01:58:43.000 We're working on a mobile app where people can listen with the screen off when your phone's asleep.

01:58:47.000 Yes.

01:58:47.000 And we're working on previews for the episodes and things like that.

01:58:50.000 That's a selling point.

01:58:50.000 That's cool.

01:58:52.000 The preview is a selling mechanism.

01:58:54.000 Brandon Acock says, has Ian read A History of Money and Banking in the United States by Murray Rothbard?

01:59:00.000 If not, it might dramatically increase his mentioning of the Federal Reserve after reading it.

01:59:00.000 No.

01:59:04.000 Oh no.

01:59:05.000 Yeah, Dave Smith and... He's a famous anarchist, huh?

01:59:08.000 Murray Rothbard?

01:59:10.000 Possibly.

01:59:11.000 Dave Smith spoke very highly of him.

01:59:14.000 Carol was also talking about him.

01:59:16.000 Yeah, apparently.

01:59:19.000 Murray Rothbard.

01:59:21.000 Oh, man.

01:59:22.000 It's so difficult to get through every single super chat, but we tried.

01:59:26.000 Kenny Blankenship said, just watched Lex Friedman's latest podcast with Michael Malice.

01:59:30.000 Michael broke down while talking about the Nazi invasion of Russia.

01:59:34.000 It was a powerful and surreal moment.

01:59:35.000 I was floored.

01:59:36.000 Wow.

01:59:36.000 Did you guys see that?

01:59:37.000 I saw that.

01:59:38.000 They were talking about this song about when the Germans invaded Operation Barbarossa, and all of a sudden, all these people were living their lives.

01:59:47.000 And then at four o'clock, the bombs started dropping.

01:59:50.000 And it's like how fast things can change.

01:59:52.000 And Mike's... Michael's... Mike... I call you Mike, buddy.

01:59:56.000 His grandma was there.

01:59:57.000 Wow.

01:59:58.000 And his great-grandmother... This wasn't that day, I don't think, but had to make a choice to dive... Her son and her daughter were both there, and she dove on her son to protect him.

02:00:08.000 Wow.

02:00:09.000 And his grandmother, her daughter, remembered that her whole life, that his great-grandmother chose her brother.

02:00:15.000 I'm actually... Wow.

02:00:16.000 Wow.

02:00:17.000 That sounds... Wow.

02:00:19.000 Amazing.

02:00:20.000 That's another part of his talks about anarchy.

02:00:22.000 I get it coming from the Soviet system of how a government can go horribly wrong. 0.83

02:00:29.000 Now I see how he can see the value in anarchy so much more.

02:00:36.000 Alright, JacksMtnTeaDude says my first superchat didn't get read, so none of my superchats make sense.

02:00:42.000 JacksMtnTea is a disabled veteran-owned tea company, and we'd love to sponsor you, but there's no email on your about page.

02:00:51.000 Pitches?

02:00:52.000 No, there, it could be on, uh, it should be.

02:00:55.000 If you go to youtube.com slash Timcast, my other channel, it's definitely there.

02:00:59.000 So, um, check that one out for sure.

02:01:01.000 I will say about Michael Malice, man, that dude is so positive.

02:01:05.000 He's so upbeat, you know?

02:01:07.000 He just, you can't get him down.

02:01:08.000 He's laughing the whole time.

02:01:09.000 He's, he's, he's having fun with it.

02:01:10.000 He's seen hard things.

02:01:11.000 Yeah, man.

02:01:12.000 Hard times make strong men, huh?

02:01:12.000 That's why.

02:01:14.000 He's like a white wizard. 0.88

02:01:14.000 There you go. 0.88

02:01:16.000 That's right.

02:01:17.000 White pillar.

02:01:18.000 Back to Final Fantasy.

02:01:19.000 Yeah.

02:01:20.000 Already back there.

02:01:22.000 Blackrock Beacon says, Do you believe man and God can disagree,

02:01:26.000 and that man can influence God's will?

02:01:28.000 If not, what about Abraham arguing with God to spare Sodom and Gomorrah, 0.51

02:01:31.000 and God conceding to him?

02:01:33.000 This is a common theme in the Old Testament.

02:01:36.000 I think so.

02:01:37.000 I think that's why prayer functions, personally.

02:01:40.000 Or, perhaps it was not that God was conceding to him, but that God was absolutely willing or intending to spare Sodom and Gomorrah for those reasons, but needed man to come to the understanding as to why.

02:01:53.000 So my parents actually said that they were testing his faith by asking him to do that.

02:01:57.000 They brought up the example of him being asked to sacrifice his son as well.

02:02:01.000 Like that's an insane thing to ask a parent, especially someone who's waited so long for a son.

02:02:07.000 I was practicing this thing where instead of saying words, I would think them to someone like, hello.

02:02:12.000 Yeah.

02:02:13.000 And it would have a similar effect that they could read the body language.

02:02:15.000 So it would have like a form of communication.

02:02:18.000 And then I started to think that I was tapping into, like, there's a collective consciousness and you can, like, hijack it and, like, command it almost.

02:02:27.000 Yeah, I don't really buy into the collective consciousness as, like, a hive mind.

02:02:31.000 I really don't buy into that.

02:02:32.000 I think when we talk about collective consciousness, it's just trends across generations.

02:02:37.000 Like, it's consistencies.

02:02:38.000 Like, that's what I think of it as.

02:02:39.000 It's not prescriptive.

02:02:40.000 It's descriptive.

02:02:42.000 And then, yeah, man has to wrestle.

02:02:45.000 God allows man to wrestle with God so that they know that he is God.

02:02:49.000 And BearPost says, many founding fathers wrote and believed that the Constitution will not

02:02:49.000 Oh yeah, absolutely.

02:02:53.000 work for a people that don't have religious morals or good principles.

02:02:56.000 This is mandatory, and that's what we've lost generationally.

02:03:01.000 I agree.

02:03:03.000 Oh yeah, absolutely.

02:03:05.000 People just want stuff.

02:03:06.000 I mean, it's not even that they just want stuff, like you were talking about earlier.

02:03:11.000 Some people think that it is morally good for a young child to strip in front of other people.

02:03:19.000 They think it is good.

02:03:20.000 They will call good evil and they will call evil good.

02:03:23.000 Is it that they think the stripping is good or that his right to choose to do it is what's good?

02:03:28.000 They think that he's advocating for marginalized people and so that what he's doing is proving something about the rights of individuals or whatever and I'm just like kids taking off their clothes for money is wrong.

02:03:40.000 All right.

02:03:42.000 FICO Krusk says, on the topic of dumb laws, in the city of Chico, California, detonating a nuclear device within city limits results in a $500 fine.

02:03:50.000 Oh, wow.

02:03:51.000 Wow.

02:03:52.000 Well, there you go.

02:03:53.000 That'll stop people.

02:03:54.000 Also, could you imagine?

02:03:55.000 It's like after the apocalypse, somebody, like, travels several months by, like, sail.

02:04:00.000 They make it to Russia.

02:04:01.000 They find the totally destroyed Kremlin, and there's, like, a Vladimir Putin with his uniform all just destroyed.

02:04:07.000 His suit's ripped and tattered, and he's sitting there, and he's, like, all weak and injured.

02:04:11.000 And the guy walks up to him and goes, I've traveled for three months to give you this." 0.62

02:04:15.000 And then he slams a ticket on the table and says, $500 fine.

02:04:17.000 And then Putin pays it.

02:04:21.000 He also says, also, did you ever receive the signed copy of Doctor Strange I sent you?

02:04:24.000 I didn't!

02:04:25.000 It could be in the mail.

02:04:27.000 We gotta go get that mail picked up.

02:04:28.000 Yeah, I'm going on Monday.

02:04:29.000 Oh, okay, cool.

02:04:29.000 Yeah, that's me.

02:04:31.000 And then, uh, you know, I think we'll start opening the mail on the vlog.

02:04:33.000 I was thinking like Sundays we do mail day.

02:04:35.000 Cause we can send some cool stuff.

02:04:36.000 We can send artwork all the time.

02:04:38.000 Yeah.

02:04:38.000 I want to, I want to showcase some of it.

02:04:39.000 Yeah.

02:04:40.000 So go to, go to, if you go to timcast.com in the about section, there's a PO box and we're going to start opening up the mail and showcasing it.

02:04:47.000 And, uh, that means some weird stuff will probably end up and that's what's fun about it.

02:04:50.000 I get a lot of manifestos.

02:04:53.000 People write personal, like this is what I believe.

02:04:55.000 Dude, I've had people write books and send me, like, just to me.

02:04:58.000 Like, it's like, here's a letter for you, Tim.

02:04:59.000 Please read it.

02:05:00.000 It's 150 pages.

02:05:00.000 I'm like, dude, I can't read this.

02:05:03.000 I respect the work, man.

02:05:05.000 Can you send me the audiobook version?

02:05:07.000 Oh, that's a good idea.

02:05:09.000 Big stacks of people being like, I wrote this up in response to what you're saying.

02:05:12.000 And I'm like, dude, that is a lot of work to do.

02:05:14.000 You should maybe publish that on your own website or something.

02:05:16.000 Because I can't read that.

02:05:16.000 Yeah, that'd be good.

02:05:18.000 I've got time.

02:05:19.000 As an aside for the address, there is an S on the end of the zip code.

02:05:23.000 You do not need this S. Leave it off.

02:05:25.000 Well, I'll get it fixed on the new website by Monday.

02:05:27.000 Exactly.

02:05:28.000 It confuses the post office.

02:05:29.000 I talked to them about it.

02:05:30.000 David Meese says, hey Tim, if you know the channel MXR, their entire channel has been demonized?

02:05:37.000 Demonetized.

02:05:37.000 I was like, demonized?

02:05:39.000 Can't say demonetized without demon.

02:05:40.000 That's right.

02:05:42.000 Mixer.

02:05:43.000 Is that MXR?

02:05:44.000 I've never heard of it.

02:05:44.000 MXR?

02:05:45.000 Yeah, that sucks though. 0.96

02:05:48.000 Jay Stewart says, Tim, a tomato-based fruit salad is salsa. 0.97

02:05:52.000 Oh, yeah.

02:05:53.000 Interestingly, they do put mango in salsa.

02:05:55.000 Oh, it's so good, too.

02:05:56.000 Yeah.

02:05:56.000 I know.

02:05:57.000 Mango habanero salsa, dude.

02:05:58.000 So good.

02:05:59.000 A little corn in there.

02:06:00.000 It can be good.

02:06:01.000 It's not always good.

02:06:02.000 Needs to be done right.

02:06:02.000 True.

02:06:03.000 Slug Pudding says, ketchup is tomato icing.

02:06:05.000 You might be right.

02:06:08.000 No, no, no, no.

02:06:09.000 I can make tomato icing.

02:06:10.000 I can legit make a tomato icing.

02:06:12.000 Please don't.

02:06:12.000 I have tomato jam.

02:06:14.000 We made tomato jam.

02:06:15.000 We bought tomato jam from a farmer's market and you put it on grilled cheese.

02:06:19.000 It's fantastic.

02:06:19.000 Wow.

02:06:20.000 We put tomato jam.

02:06:21.000 It's different.

02:06:21.000 It's like bacon jam, right?

02:06:22.000 No vinegar in it.

02:06:23.000 Yeah, bacon jam.

02:06:24.000 So, ketchup is a savory sauce.

02:06:24.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:06:28.000 It's a sauce, yeah.

02:06:29.000 It's a sauce.

02:06:29.000 Salty, a little vinegar.

02:06:32.000 Yeah.

02:06:32.000 I would like to take a... You know what would be interesting?

02:06:34.000 To take a ketchup recipe, but do it with strawberries.

02:06:37.000 That'd be cool.

02:06:37.000 Oh, yeah.

02:06:38.000 Like vinegary and savory.

02:06:39.000 Concentrated strawberries.

02:06:42.000 Yeah.

02:06:43.000 Or... I'm excited for the pawpaw.

02:06:44.000 We're gonna make pawpaw bread.

02:06:45.000 Pawpaw ketchup.

02:06:46.000 No, we're not gonna make pawpaw ketchup.

02:06:48.000 No, why not?

02:06:49.000 But I read that you can substitute pawpaw for banana in any recipe.

02:06:52.000 Yeah, we'll do like a pawpaw bread.

02:06:55.000 And we're gonna plant the seeds.

02:06:56.000 Did you see the blue bananas?

02:07:00.000 No.

02:07:00.000 They taste like ice cream.

02:07:01.000 Get them overseas, like in Malaysia or something.

02:07:04.000 I think I saw a picture, but that's about it.

02:07:06.000 Could have been fake news.

02:07:09.000 I don't really like bananas that much.

02:07:12.000 I taste like penicillin.

02:07:16.000 Alejandro Campos says, for the app, I've had the membership, but rarely watch the extra content because I have to have the window open.

02:07:22.000 I am a trucker, so I don't like having the internet window open while I drive.

02:07:26.000 That's definitely one of our top priorities, but that means we have to get the app out first, and there's two things we're going to do.

02:07:34.000 Start uploading not just the video version, but an audio version right beneath it, so you can press play and do audio only.

02:07:39.000 I think Rumble might have something like that, I'm not sure, but we need the new site to launch before we can start implementing these things.

02:07:44.000 A lot of people just listen, they don't actually watch the video of the bonus content, so we want to do an audio only version.

02:07:50.000 It's way cheaper on bandwidth, so it's better for us in the long run.

02:07:52.000 And then the only way to make it so that you can listen to the show with the phone off is if we do a mobile app, and that's going to be another, like, two months of development.

02:08:01.000 I've heard that if you use Brave, you can minimize it, put your phone off, and you can still listen to it.

02:08:08.000 Really?

02:08:09.000 I've never tested it, but yeah, I've heard this in comments repeatedly.

02:08:11.000 I think that's what it is.

02:08:13.000 Well, the Brave browser is fantastic.

02:08:14.000 We're big fans of the Brave browser.

02:08:16.000 We use the Brave browser.

02:08:18.000 It disables a lot of tracking, much like the Freedom phone is saying they're going to be doing.

02:08:22.000 Haven't tried the Freedom phone, I want to make sure I state that.

02:08:25.000 But Brave's legit.

02:08:27.000 I love Brave.

02:08:27.000 Brave's super cool.

02:08:28.000 Big fan of Brave.

02:08:28.000 Big fan.

02:08:29.000 I've used it for everything.

02:08:31.000 Yeah, Duck, Duck, Go. 0.93

02:08:32.000 It's my number one.

02:08:33.000 Yes, sir!

02:08:33.000 Brave.

02:08:34.000 We should get those dudes on the show someday. 1.00

02:08:36.000 The brave dudes.

02:08:38.000 Oh yeah, we probably could.

02:08:39.000 Yeah, I bet.

02:08:41.000 Alright.

02:08:42.000 Card995 says, you guys should play Trial by Trolley on Steam.

02:08:46.000 That sounds great.

02:08:47.000 Oh, we gotta watch that movie, Hero, with Jet Li.

02:08:50.000 Right.

02:08:51.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I wanna watch that.

02:08:54.000 All right, let's see, we'll do a couple more.

02:08:56.000 Steven13 says, you know the Soviets abused German civilians.

02:09:00.000 German women were abused by the Red Army in ways I can't say on YouTube.

02:09:04.000 Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:09:05.000 For sure.

02:09:06.000 Jerome Morrow says, for the next show, instead of talking, just use the collective consciousness and just think your comments to each other.

02:09:12.000 I actually have YouTube videos of me doing that if you want to go back into my old catalog on the CrossMac channel.

02:09:18.000 I am so excited for this new show we're doing on the mysteries and the ghost stories and stuff.

02:09:22.000 Because so the format is gonna be there's gonna be about a 15 minute show with sound effects and everything like legit We're gonna have Shane who's writing who writes these stories, and they're brilliant and amazing stories, dude I was just I'm reading through them.

02:09:34.000 I can't put him down.

02:09:35.000 We're gonna make books based off the stories We're gonna do collections of these these investigations We're gonna have like when he's talking telling a story about you know driving You'll hear like the engine when he tells a story about like walking in a store You'll hear like the bell ring of a door opening.

02:09:47.000 It's gonna be a real show and And then followed by for members a hangout conversation

02:09:52.000 talking about it.

02:09:54.000 So the free show for everybody which will be on like YouTube and iTunes and Spotify

02:09:57.000 will be like a 15 to 20 minute series.

02:10:01.000 And then people who are members get to hang out with the crew as they investigate, explore

02:10:05.000 and conversation deeper like what does that mean?

02:10:07.000 How did you find this?

02:10:08.000 And make it a real hangout.

02:10:09.000 I'm so excited.

02:10:10.000 It's going to be amazing.

02:10:11.000 I'm actually wondering if that could actually become more prominent than doing the political

02:10:16.000 show because it's more entertainment value.

02:10:18.000 It works in tandem too.

02:10:19.000 They all kind of work like a net of items.

02:10:23.000 It's gonna be fun, man!

02:10:24.000 And then once we do sports, we're gonna do tech, video games, movies.

02:10:27.000 The next show we're planning is gonna be cultural commentary, so that's more so like, Black Widow came out!

02:10:33.000 Let's talk about Black Widow.

02:10:34.000 Did you see the movie?

02:10:35.000 Here's what I like and didn't like about it.

02:10:36.000 Spoiler alert!

02:10:37.000 And just generally watching movies, playing video games.

02:10:40.000 And then we're doing the D&D show.

02:10:41.000 The D&D show will probably come before that.

02:10:44.000 So that's going to be once a week where we have... So I'm looking for a DM or people that want to get involved, but I need like a video, a link to some video you've done of D&D, just something that I can see so I can see you in action.

02:10:57.000 Because seeing your text, like a text thing isn't enough to get a feel for your work.

02:11:03.000 So I know it's weird, because most people don't record themselves doing it.

02:11:06.000 Should people reach out to you if they're DMs? 0.98

02:11:09.000 You can, yeah.

02:11:10.000 It's just text isn't good enough.

02:11:12.000 I need to get a feel for your work and your style, so to see it on a video helps a lot.

02:11:16.000 I just mean, because normally we're like, go to jobs at Timcast, but I'm not going to be a good judge of a DM.

02:11:21.000 Yeah, yeah, definitely hit me up on Twitter or Mines or something with your content.

02:11:25.000 This show's gonna be fun because the idea is to have scenarios, like the stories, based around some kind of sociopolitical,

02:11:33.000 like in some way related to the modern culture war and stuff like that.

02:11:37.000 And then have people explore the situations, much like the trolley problem, see how they would react to them and how

02:11:42.000 they respond and you roll the die.

02:11:43.000 They're gonna be censoring the scrying glasses, you won't be able to see certain types of information.

02:11:48.000 So you'll have a king or emperor who will say, well, you don't need swords because we have nukes and F-15s.

02:11:55.000 Yep.

02:11:55.000 No, they'll be like... Implicit.

02:11:57.000 Your swords are pathetic. 1.00

02:11:58.000 You can't stop us. 1.00

02:12:00.000 You would need fire staffs and lightning rods.

02:12:03.000 And dragons.

02:12:04.000 Which are illegal.

02:12:04.000 How convenient.

02:12:05.000 Dragons.

02:12:05.000 Yep.

02:12:06.000 Which they control.

02:12:07.000 Yeah.

02:12:08.000 Contraband.

02:12:08.000 And then you actually have a scenario where you have, if we have like, you know, five or six players going up against one dragon and then, you know, we'll see what happens.

02:12:16.000 But it's, you know, look, for people who aren't familiar with D&D, it's mostly a bunch of people hanging out and like laughing and joking and like We'll be exploring a lot of philosophical and moral, you know, ideas with the show.

02:12:27.000 Someone emailed me saying we can't do individual scenarios.

02:12:30.000 It needs to be like a series, like 13 episodes that explore one story, kind of like a show.

02:12:35.000 And that's actually a really good idea because then basically if someone writes 13 episodes basically, It's almost like watching a TV show, like, oh man, what's gonna happen next?

02:12:45.000 They call it a campaign in D&D language, and that's usually the way you work.

02:12:49.000 Some people go for years with one campaign, you know, from level one to level 30.

02:12:55.000 Every four weeks, they'll get together and play a campaign.

02:12:58.000 I think you could maybe do different ones every week.

02:13:01.000 You could hop into sliders into different bodies, but I think the campaign's the way.

02:13:04.000 I like the idea of doing a 13-episode campaign so it's like a show.

02:13:09.000 And you're like, oh man, what's what's going to happen to Ian?

02:13:12.000 Oh, dude, like Ian just got turned into a chicken.

02:13:15.000 What's going to happen next?

02:13:16.000 And then it's like, you know, I got better.

02:13:19.000 Yeah.

02:13:19.000 You turned me into a newt.

02:13:21.000 Ladies and gentlemen, thanks for hanging out on this Friday night.

02:13:35.000 And we have a couple of them want to work here. 0.97

02:13:37.000 And they're people you may have heard of, so it's gonna be really exciting because we're gonna be adding tons and tons of people to the team, producing more and more content, and then that way when I'm like old and feeble, there will be something that persists outside of just the shows that I've been doing.

02:13:51.000 There'll be other shows, so that's gonna be epic.

02:13:53.000 You can follow the show at TimCastIRL on Facebook and Instagram, at TimCast underscore IRL on TikTok, And we'll be back tomorrow morning with the vlog, which is... I don't know if I can actually say the... There's stuff in that video that's, like, naughty.

02:14:10.000 Because we made a joke.

02:14:11.000 We combined rollerblades with... They're called roller skis.

02:14:16.000 And so I combined the word ski and street into one word, and I think YouTube might not be happy with what that word is, but it's in the show anyway, so... YouTube.com slash Castcastle.

02:14:26.000 We have a bunch of episodes up.

02:14:27.000 That vlog is going to go daily, where you see us hanging out today.

02:14:30.000 Ian had a huge crew outside picking wine berries to make wine wine.

02:14:33.000 Forest went deep.

02:14:34.000 Did we talk about that?

02:14:35.000 We didn't talk about that in the show.

02:14:36.000 Oh, we did.

02:14:36.000 Forest went beyond the edge of the forest.

02:14:39.000 I did have a Ranger School flashback.

02:14:42.000 And you can follow me personally at Timcast.

02:14:44.000 You want to shout out anything, Forrest?

02:14:46.000 Yeah, so for our digital publications, it's recoilweb.com and offgridweb.com.

02:14:51.000 And then if you go to Gun Digest, the Gun Digest website, that is where you can pre-order our DIY firearms book.

02:14:58.000 We are running out, so get there quick.

02:15:01.000 My personal Instagram is at foxroe underscore official, F-O-X-R-O-E.

02:15:07.000 It's the only nickname that really stuck.

02:15:10.000 But yeah, and by recall.

02:15:12.000 If you want to see some of the stuff we're doing, subscription is the best way to do it.

02:15:16.000 But yeah, I'm happily here to answer questions about firearms and do what I do.

02:15:21.000 Cool.

02:15:22.000 Always awesome to see you, man.

02:15:23.000 Yeah.

02:15:24.000 Hey, follow me at Ian Crossland.

02:15:25.000 You guys rock.

02:15:26.000 Thank you for coming.

02:15:27.000 IanCrossland.net if you want to check out my website and get a little portal into all my socials.

02:15:31.000 But otherwise, Ian at Ian Crossland.

02:15:33.000 Hit me up anywhere.

02:15:34.000 Thanks.

02:15:34.000 And you guys, I do have to issue a clarification on what I said earlier about opals and mayonnaise and the connection therewith.

02:15:40.000 Opals are a colloid, not a suspension.

02:15:43.000 Mayonnaise is a suspension because it's a liquid in a liquid.

02:15:45.000 So you guys should look it up and educate yourselves on that.

02:15:47.000 Opals are fascinating.

02:15:48.000 Other gems are also very beautiful, have a really cool chemistry background.

02:15:52.000 You guys can follow me on Twitter, at Sour Patch Lids, as I attempt to have more followers than Sour Patch Kids.

02:15:58.000 Thanks for hanging out, everybody.

02:15:59.000 We'll see you tomorrow at youtube.com slash castcastle.

02:16:03.000 And after that, we'll be back Monday for this show at 8pm.

02:16:06.000 Have a good weekend.
