Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Biden Admin SLAMMED For Shuttering Gas Leases Amid RECORD High Gas w-Will Chamberlain

00:00:00.000 Believe it or not, there are several gas and oil leases being shut down right now in the

00:00:14.000 U.S.

00:00:15.000 And Joe Biden is getting ripped apart because he's getting slammed over it.

00:00:19.000 It's his administration.

00:00:20.000 Gas prices just hit a new all-time record high average at $4.41, and people are feeling it.

00:00:28.000 There's also formula shortages and a report coming out that illegal immigrant processing centers are getting baby formula.

00:00:37.000 Yeah, you looked shocked as soon as I said it.

00:00:40.000 So yeah, it's like the two things you shouldn't do when things are bad.

00:00:45.000 So my point is the shuttering of oil and gas leases is not 100% on the Biden administration, but some of it is.

00:00:52.000 And I think it does show bad leadership, period, for whatever reason it happened.

00:00:56.000 And it's just remarkable how many people try and say, it's not Joe Biden's fault everything's falling apart.

00:01:00.000 Yeah, I don't care what you think in terms of the fault.

00:01:03.000 Regular people right now are reeling from the economic crisis in an election year.

00:01:09.000 I think November is going to be absolutely brutal.

00:01:12.000 We got a couple other stories, though.

00:01:14.000 Youngkin has finally stepped up and said the people protesting at the Supreme Court justices' homes should be arrested.

00:01:19.000 We have this report about Merrick Garland.

00:01:22.000 Apparently, he's got the FBI going after parents over, you know, this whole school thing with CRT.

00:01:27.000 And I believe the report says he's lying about it, so we'll get into all that stuff.

00:01:31.000 And then we have, in Texas, a law barring social media companies from censoring people was actually just reinstated.

00:01:38.000 So that's gonna get spicy.

00:01:40.000 We'll talk about that along with Elon Musk.

00:01:41.000 And joining us to discuss this is Will Chamberlain.

00:01:45.000 Good to be with you guys.

00:01:46.000 Senior counsel at the Internet Accountability Project, which fights big tech abuses and pushes for regulation on big tech companies from a conservative perspective, and the Article 3 Project, which previously pushed for the confirmation of Trump's judges and now just generally opposes the left's attempts to put really wacko liberals in the court. 0.90

00:02:03.000 Well, all right.

00:02:03.000 Fantastic.

00:02:04.000 I'm Seamus Coghlan.

00:02:05.000 I run a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes.

00:02:07.000 We just uploaded a video today called Bro V Wade.

00:02:10.000 I think you guys should go check that one out.

00:02:12.000 You will enjoy it.

00:02:13.000 And over to you, Ian.

00:02:14.000 Hi, everyone.

00:02:15.000 Love you.

00:02:16.000 Hopefully we can maybe focus less on blaming people for this crap and work together and figure out how to make it better.

00:02:22.000 That's what I'm here for. 0.98

00:02:23.000 I think it's your fault.

00:02:24.000 That sounds like something you would say if it was your fault.

00:02:26.000 Dramatic.

00:02:27.000 I get it.

00:02:27.000 Right now you have leftists arguing that cryptocurrency is a scam and advocating for all the leftists to get away from it and never buy it, never buy in, never support it.

00:02:35.000 And Ian's still like, they're good people, I support them.

00:02:37.000 Yeah, I want to help them change their message because cryptocurrencies that don't have a utility are intrinsically, scammishly, trashy.

00:02:44.000 But the utility brings value to the token.

00:02:46.000 You've got massively funded, special interest, industrial complex funded NGOs screwing over the little guy.

00:02:54.000 It's like the wild west of economy before we made laws to make that stuff illegal.

00:02:58.000 No, no, I'm talking about the political advocacy against crypto from the left specifically.

00:03:02.000 Oh, I can't wait to get into it tonight.

00:03:03.000 Let's do it.

00:03:05.000 Sorry, I don't want to bring the tone down, but today's news really kind of infuriated me between the news of the gas leases being cancelled and this formula that Americans actually really kind of need because parents are being forced to drive around with $5 a gallon gasoline to find formula for their children.

00:03:20.000 A little bit infuriating.

00:03:21.000 So hopefully we can keep happy.

00:03:35.000 They're not family-friendly.

00:03:36.000 They're uncensored and often very offensive.

00:03:40.000 But that's the point.

00:03:41.000 It's our speakeasy.

00:03:41.000 It's where the adults go in the after hours.

00:04:07.000 But don't forget to smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show if you really like it.

00:04:11.000 Let's read this first story we got.

00:04:13.000 The Biden administration cancels prominent oil and gas leases.

00:04:17.000 One environmentalist said the announcement was good for the climate, which can't handle new oil and gas development.

00:04:23.000 Well, let's get to the nuance here.

00:04:25.000 Quote, due to a lack of industry interest in leasing in the area, the department will not move forward with the proposed Cook Inlet OCS oil and gas lease sale 258, a Department of Interior spokesperson told Fox Business.

00:04:38.000 However, there's also the Department of Interior ending two leases for the Gulf of Mexico region because of conflicting court rulings that impacted work on these proposed lease sales.

00:04:50.000 So, I'm not going to come out here and try and play some tribal nonsense where it's like Joe Biden arbitrarily just destroyed an oil and gas lease.

00:04:57.000 There's actually questions about whether or not these companies are trying to drill for oil.

00:05:04.000 But I wonder, When you get a president like Joe Biden, who actually shuts down an oil pipeline at this time, how many companies feel safe investing tons of money in new infrastructure that Joe Biden might turn around and just shudder?

00:05:17.000 Overnight, without due process, just executive order, you're done.

00:05:20.000 Why would an oil and gas company want to go build in Alaska when the president has already shown he will destroy your investment?

00:05:28.000 This is bad leadership.

00:05:31.000 I agree with that, actually. 0.96

00:05:32.000 I'm not a huge advocate of burning unlimited fossil fuel without attempting to recover the carbon, but it seems like maybe he's incentivizing people to get off oil, but it's just a dumb way to do it.

00:05:44.000 Like, I'll destroy everything so you stop using it.

00:05:47.000 Doesn't make any sense to me.

00:05:48.000 Well, so in the Gulf instance, you've got environmentalists.

00:05:52.000 We just had that story about the electrical plant shutting down.

00:05:56.000 I think it was called Talon because they said regulations on climate change.

00:05:59.000 So they're like, we're shutting down.

00:06:00.000 Yo, I'll tell you this.

00:06:02.000 You think the baby food shortage is bad?

00:06:04.000 Let me just lay it out for everybody because they're like, what did Joe Biden do to make the gas prices go up?

00:06:09.000 All these fact checkers are like, it's not true.

00:06:11.000 Joe Biden bans oil and gas leases on federal lands.

00:06:15.000 Speculation goes up because supplies expected to be diminished in the US.

00:06:19.000 He just shuts down the Keystone pipeline.

00:06:21.000 How much money did that cost the oil industry?

00:06:24.000 A lot.

00:06:24.000 And I'm not saying I like the oil industry, guys.

00:06:26.000 Then, all of a sudden, they're like, why aren't they investing to build new oil drilling up in Alaska?

00:06:32.000 It's their fault we're not getting any of this stuff done.

00:06:35.000 Why would anyone want to invest in the United States energy production when Joe Biden has shown he has complete disdain for it?

00:06:42.000 You're going to lose all your money.

00:06:43.000 Go build in Saudi Arabia or go build in Qatar and build that pipeline or whatever.

00:06:48.000 Yeah, it's basically, I mean, it's really childish, right?

00:06:50.000 I mean, there's a reason, I'm not generally like this Russia hawk or whatever, but Russia literally did fund green energy groups in the United States to try and push against domestic oil production, which is kind of an obvious thing to do from their perspective because, hey, that gives them, allows them to kind of corner the market and increases demand.

00:07:05.000 for their natural resources, which they're perfectly happy to draw in whatever way they want to see fit.

00:07:10.000 And so I think, yeah, I mean, I was looking at some of the information.

00:07:13.000 I don't know that the cancellation of these leases was more about them, like, giving up on a couple of, like, ones that had some conflicting court rulings about them.

00:07:21.000 Yeah, it was a gulf.

00:07:22.000 And there was, like, even Democrats, and I think there was, like, Tim Kaine was giving a speech about, hey, we really need to increase production here.

00:07:29.000 I don't know if you guys are trying hard enough here in the administration.

00:07:33.000 I don't know.

00:07:33.000 I feel like we're in a phase where it's like you've got, I think the White House probably is now, because they're so full bore towards Ukraine and to Russia, they're like, OK, fine, we'll let the oil and gas leases run.

00:07:44.000 But maybe the message hasn't trickled down to the bureaucrats yet.

00:07:47.000 Take a look at this.

00:07:49.000 Triple A gas prices.

00:07:53.000 441.

00:07:53.000 I guarantee you the Biden White House does not like this, right?

00:07:56.000 There are a lot of things.

00:07:59.000 They're conniving.

00:08:00.000 They're obnoxious. 1.00

00:08:00.000 But they're not complete morons. 1.00

00:08:02.000 So they do know that gas prices at this level will lead to them losing power. 0.99

00:08:06.000 Well, no, no. 1.00

00:08:07.000 I mean, the dudes who are engaged in a bank heist are not stupid. 0.85

00:08:12.000 But why would you assume that they're looking out for your best interests? 0.94

00:08:14.000 No, they're not, right?

00:08:15.000 I don't assume ever that they're looking out for their best interests.

00:08:18.000 I just know we're six months out of an election.

00:08:22.000 The Joe Biden election to me would be like John Dillinger, like trying to get appointed as the head of a bank branch

00:08:28.000 and people being like, I never heard of this guy.

00:08:30.000 He sounds great.

00:08:30.000 And we're like, please, please do not give this guy.

00:08:33.000 I'm telling you he's going to loot the coffers.

00:08:35.000 And they're like, I don't know.

00:08:36.000 He looks trustworthy.

00:08:37.000 Cool name too.

00:08:38.000 And then all of a sudden, you know, the bank is failing and you're like, I can't believe this is happening. 0.72

00:08:42.000 Well, Joe Biden's crooked. 0.93

00:08:44.000 He's always been crooked. 0.96

00:08:45.000 You put a crooked guy in charge, crooked things happen.

00:08:47.000 And now all these people are like, why is gas higher than it's ever been?

00:08:50.000 Yeah.

00:08:51.000 They try to play the game.

00:08:52.000 It's not Joe Biden's fault.

00:08:54.000 It is Vladimir Putin and the unprecedented pandemic.

00:08:57.000 And it's like, dude, if Joe Biden didn't cancel Keystone, if he didn't ban oil and gas leases on federal lands, if they weren't making the moves they're making now, my point, I'll just summarize it with this.

00:09:07.000 If Donald Trump was president, he would be like, you know, he'd be yelling, Get me the head of these companies.

00:09:13.000 I want them in here right now.

00:09:14.000 What's going on?

00:09:14.000 They're making me look bad.

00:09:16.000 We need to get these prices down.

00:09:18.000 And they would have a meeting.

00:09:19.000 You'd hear in the press that the CEOs of these companies are coming to the Oval Office.

00:09:23.000 Donald Trump would be like, what do we gotta do to get you producing?

00:09:26.000 They'd say, these regulations are impeding us.

00:09:27.000 And he'd be like, we're getting rid of them.

00:09:29.000 Get the oil baby drill. 0.98

00:09:30.000 And the prices would be going down.

00:09:32.000 And then they'd be fracking.

00:09:33.000 I heard earthquakes have gone up because of fracking.

00:09:37.000 If you look at, like, Oklahoma earthquakes, where there's, like, no earthquakes.

00:09:39.000 All of a sudden, since they started fracking, you see massive amounts of microquakes.

00:09:43.000 They're not huge.

00:09:44.000 But that's a good thing.

00:09:45.000 Of course.

00:09:45.000 Earthquakes are always fantastic.

00:09:47.000 What's happening is they're taking liquid out of the earth, and it's leaving, like, a craterous vacuum in there.

00:09:52.000 And then the crust just ends up slipping on itself.

00:09:55.000 Well, they're injecting hydraulic fluid.

00:09:57.000 Yeah, and they inject weird chemicals back in. 0.75

00:09:59.000 I mean, just look on the bright side.

00:10:02.000 Now that we know we're creating earthquakes, maybe we can create some kind of earthquake generator.

00:10:06.000 A piezoelectric energy producer.

00:10:09.000 We'll get even more energy out of it.

00:10:10.000 That's more brilliant than ever before.

00:10:12.000 You know, turning problems into solutions that are better than what we had at the beginning is a human thing.

00:10:18.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:10:19.000 I mean, it would be funny if, like, have you guys ever seen those flashlights where you beat them and they charge?

00:10:25.000 Show me that again.

00:10:26.000 You beat him?

00:10:27.000 Oh yeah, I think I know what you're talking about.

00:10:28.000 They have a magnet in it, and there's a copper coil, and when you make the motion, it throws the magnet back and forth, which then generates a current, and will charge up the battery.

00:10:38.000 So all you gotta do is... That's not piezoelectricity.

00:10:41.000 Piezoelectricity is like molecular vibration.

00:10:43.000 It's friction-based energy.

00:10:45.000 So once the earthquake happens, you have all these magnets bouncing up and down in the coils, and you're just generating free energy.

00:10:50.000 So after you get the oil, or I'm sorry, the gas, was it shale?

00:10:54.000 Is it shale oil, actually?

00:10:55.000 Is it oil?

00:10:56.000 I don't know, whatever.

00:10:57.000 After you extract the fossil fuels, and everything's crumbling all around you, you just have the electrical generation, and you extract more energy.

00:11:04.000 It's perfect.

00:11:04.000 I think that's actually a really good idea.

00:11:06.000 We should see if we can do that.

00:11:07.000 It's probably going to take some years.

00:11:09.000 I'm nerve-wracking now.

00:11:11.000 This sounds like Russian disinformation.

00:11:13.000 It does, yeah.

00:11:14.000 But I mean, your point earlier about the Russian government sending funding towards certain environmental groups to try to discourage the production of oil in the United States is so depressing, and it's just so indicative of how abysmally easily the population and the political system is influenced in this country by people who understand our way of thinking.

00:11:35.000 The American government does not really understand the way Russian culture operates, the way Russians think, or the way that the Chinese population thinks, but they actually understand the way we think really, really well, to the point where we are extremely easy for them to manipulate.

00:11:51.000 Like, yes, climate change.

00:11:53.000 No, use other people's oil.

00:11:55.000 Yes, stop making in your own country.

00:11:58.000 Yeah, it's like, but you're still using the fossil fuels.

00:12:02.000 You're still using them.

00:12:04.000 Do they not cause pollution if they come from Russia? 1.00

00:12:06.000 It's ridiculous. 0.94

00:12:07.000 We need to invade Alaska. 0.97

00:12:09.000 Yes.

00:12:10.000 Like the four of us?

00:12:12.000 The five of us?

00:12:14.000 We own it, though.

00:12:15.000 No, I'm kidding.

00:12:17.000 Like we invade it for oil.

00:12:18.000 Oh, right.

00:12:19.000 Let it secede and then reinvade it?

00:12:21.000 I don't know.

00:12:21.000 No, no, we send in the troops and then, you know, let's liberate Alaska.

00:12:25.000 How am I supposed to do that to California, right?

00:12:27.000 You let it secede, you invade it, you occupy it, you turn it into a colony, like an old-school territory with no electoral votes, and we've solved most of the country's problems.

00:12:36.000 Yeah, there was a fantastic Babylon Bee headline a while ago.

00:12:42.000 It was, Biden gives Alaska back to Russia so they can drill for oil there now.

00:12:46.000 So we can drill for oil there now.

00:12:48.000 I do like that idea of California being, it's like, oh no, they seceded.

00:12:53.000 All right, take it back.

00:12:55.000 It's ours now.

00:12:56.000 Right.

00:12:56.000 It's a colony.

00:12:57.000 You made an interesting point.

00:12:58.000 The natives, they're called Native Americans.

00:12:59.000 Native Californians.

00:13:00.000 Native Americans, yeah.

00:13:03.000 I think you mentioned that politicians are easily swayed.

00:13:05.000 Is that what you were saying earlier?

00:13:06.000 Our political system is very easily swayed if you understand the way people think.

00:13:09.000 You really need a strong leader.

00:13:10.000 Biden's not as strong.

00:13:11.000 He's a weak-minded older man that seems to be kind of disparate.

00:13:15.000 But if you have a strong mind, young person, that can also be dangerous because then they don't listen.

00:13:19.000 You don't want someone that doesn't listen.

00:13:21.000 But you need someone that isn't swayed by nonsense.

00:13:24.000 Or the wind, you know?

00:13:25.000 Yeah, they're representative, but they still have to have a strong mind. 0.85

00:13:28.000 Trump was swayed by a lot of nonsense.

00:13:29.000 Yeah, but here's to your point, Ian.

00:13:33.000 You want someone, ideally, who's strong-minded and has a solid moral compass.

00:13:38.000 You don't want someone who's weak-minded with a solid moral compass, right?

00:13:42.000 You don't want someone who's strong-minded with a poor moral compass.

00:13:45.000 We have someone who's weak-minded and has a poor moral compass.

00:13:47.000 Yeah.

00:13:48.000 I mean, he was a plagiarist in 1988.

00:13:50.000 He had to drop out of the presidential election because he was found plagiarizing his presidential campaign.

00:13:55.000 Just look up Biden, Inc.

00:13:56.000 by Politico, and they show you this map showing how every time he gets appointed to some position, his brother gets rich off of it.

00:14:02.000 It's like, oh, something like that.

00:14:03.000 It's like, what a coincidence.

00:14:04.000 Obama puts him in charge of Iraq, and then all of a sudden his brother's getting contracts in Iraq.

00:14:08.000 No, I think it's just a good sign that he's doing, you know, fortune has smiled upon him because he's such a good guy.

00:14:13.000 No, it makes sense.

00:14:14.000 I mean, they're brothers.

00:14:15.000 They're both equally talented.

00:14:16.000 It's no surprise that his brother is doing so well in the exact same areas.

00:14:20.000 Yeah, his brother was awesome.

00:14:21.000 And then I don't care if he's his brother or not.

00:14:23.000 Well, why was his brother the first one in the Biden family to attend college?

00:14:27.000 Is that true?

00:14:27.000 No, that was his speech he plagiarized.

00:14:29.000 Like, why am I the first Biden to attend college?

00:14:32.000 It's hilarious because it's one thing to plagiarize a speech as a politician and take some sort of banal utterance about freedom or equality or these things that usually come up in political speeches.

00:14:44.000 He literally took someone's background story.

00:14:47.000 There was a British politician talking about him.

00:14:49.000 Neil Kinnock, yeah.

00:14:51.000 Oh, he was like the first in his family to go to college and they were working class and Biden literally gives the guy's speech with a couple details changed.

00:14:57.000 It's insane.

00:14:58.000 Echoes of Biden's 1987 plagiarism scandal continue to reverberate from, this is a Washington Post.

00:15:05.000 You mentioned Neil Kinnick.

00:15:07.000 How was he involved in the plagiarism scandal?

00:15:09.000 Well, that's whose speeches Biden plagiarized, right?

00:15:12.000 Neil Kinnick was like a leader of the opposition in Britain when Margaret Thatcher was prime minister.

00:15:19.000 And literally, Kinnick had just given these speeches as leader, and Biden's like, that's a really good speech.

00:15:24.000 And it's funny.

00:15:25.000 And then after he heard Biden plagiarized him, he went, come on, man.

00:15:30.000 And then Joe Biden was like, I like that.

00:15:31.000 He's like, that's a good one.

00:15:32.000 That's a good one.

00:15:33.000 We got an article here from The Guardian.

00:15:34.000 Truder and Esch have a depression.

00:15:36.000 Neil Kinnick on Biden's plagiarism scandal, in quotes, and why he deserves to win.

00:15:40.000 Quote, Joe's an honest guy.

00:15:41.000 This is the guy who he plagiarized.

00:15:43.000 No way!

00:15:44.000 That's insane!

00:15:46.000 Are we sure Biden didn't put those words in his mouth?

00:15:49.000 Build Back Better was plagiarized.

00:15:53.000 It's September 2020 when that article came out.

00:15:55.000 I bet it was just political propaganda because the guy hated Trump.

00:15:58.000 Yeah, Build Back Better was plagiarized, and I think it was Boris Johnson called him out, I think, right?

00:16:04.000 He was like, Build Back Better, that's our thing, and Joe Biden started using it.

00:16:08.000 That's hilarious.

00:16:08.000 It's amazing, dude.

00:16:10.000 It's just so crazy.

00:16:10.000 He's like, come on, man, when I made Brexit happen... No, he's hysterical.

00:16:16.000 It's sad.

00:16:16.000 And we laugh at it, but at the same time, you sort of have to.

00:16:20.000 The reality is this man is President of the United States.

00:16:22.000 This is the actual sitting President of the United States.

00:16:24.000 The thing is, you know he is not right for that spot because when you're the VP for two terms, you run for president next.

00:16:31.000 That, every time.

00:16:32.000 That's very true.

00:16:33.000 And he was nowhere, gone, totally disinterested.

00:16:36.000 And like, Obama didn't want him to, right?

00:16:38.000 That's the thing.

00:16:39.000 Obama sort of settled on Biden, but like... Didn't he call him an F-up?

00:16:42.000 He just don't underestimate his capability to screw things up.

00:16:46.000 You don't have to do this, Joe.

00:16:48.000 Hold on, though.

00:16:48.000 You guys aren't being fair.

00:16:49.000 Biden stepped down because he's a humble man.

00:16:53.000 And then when he saw Charlottesville happen, he said, I need to run for president.

00:16:56.000 That's right.

00:16:57.000 He felt the fires within.

00:16:58.000 I wonder who actually said that first.

00:17:00.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:17:01.000 That's such a ridiculous story. 0.91

00:17:02.000 There's like some lesser known Democrat who actually said that and he was like, that's pretty good, man. 0.98

00:17:06.000 That's hysterical.

00:17:08.000 That's so insane.

00:17:09.000 Like as if Joe Biden actually, he saw that happening.

00:17:11.000 He's like, you know what, this is a good opportunity to make my family some more money.

00:17:13.000 It would actually be really funny if it was true.

00:17:15.000 It would be funny if it really was like Joe Biden sitting in his basement, like flip, you know, flipping channels.

00:17:20.000 And then he sees like CNN and he's like, oh, I have to run for president!

00:17:24.000 And then he like stands up and then you like shuffles out of you know with this

00:17:27.000 In his towel and his dog Even on NTS president right like do you even think no one

00:17:32.000 thinks he's actually running the country?

00:17:35.000 Oh, I do like sort of you sort of like it's not people. I don't think it's his people

00:17:39.000 I think his geriatric nurse is making the calls yeah, and so

00:17:43.000 And so it's like, it's like one of those old tropes where the old man's in the bed and

00:17:47.000 like the nurse is sitting there and she's like, Biden says he wants to shut down oil

00:17:52.000 leases.

00:17:53.000 And they're like, well, I guess Biden wants it.

00:17:54.000 And like Kamala walks out like, well, everyone trusts his nurse.

00:17:58.000 Yeah, man.

00:17:59.000 It's like, uh, no, no.

00:18:01.000 Who was the dude who was whispering into the Lord of the Rings?

00:18:04.000 Wormtongue.

00:18:05.000 Wormtongue.

00:18:06.000 There's historical precedent for that.

00:18:08.000 That happened, you know, Woodrow Wilson was president and he had a stroke when he was negotiating Versailles and his wife basically ran the country for the remainder of his term.

00:18:16.000 Wow.

00:18:16.000 So like Kamala is basically Wormtongue?

00:18:19.000 That was the name?

00:18:21.000 Yeah.

00:18:21.000 And so Biden's sitting there like, and then she's like, he says, shut down the gas leases.

00:18:27.000 What did he say, Mr. President?

00:18:29.000 Yeah.

00:18:30.000 And then Trump's... Someone should make the meme, then Trump returns, the return of the king.

00:18:35.000 Will, do you think that there's a political solution to the chaos, or do you look towards the private sector more?

00:18:41.000 To what chaos?

00:18:42.000 To having Biden as president.

00:18:44.000 Yeah, I mean, yes, there's a political solution to having Biden as president, right?

00:18:46.000 Kick him out.

00:18:47.000 Do you think that's even politically possible?

00:18:49.000 Sure.

00:18:49.000 I mean, not in the short term, right?

00:18:52.000 You're going to have Democrats in charge of the White House and therefore the agencies for the next two years.

00:18:57.000 There's not really doing anything about it until you elect a Republican and things get better.

00:19:03.000 In terms of a lot of these specific problems, there's no...

00:19:07.000 I don't know.

00:19:07.000 I worked for the Seasteading Institute.

00:19:09.000 You want to have privately created countries or something?

00:19:12.000 Compete that way.

00:19:13.000 Not Nick getting him out.

00:19:14.000 I'm not talking about getting him out.

00:19:15.000 I'm just talking about we're in a situation where we have no leadership.

00:19:17.000 I feel like there's very, very little to no leadership in the country.

00:19:20.000 So what would be a short-term solution?

00:19:23.000 Do you see one politically?

00:19:24.000 No, there's no short-term solution to a lack of leadership from the White House.

00:19:27.000 I mean, they were just going to have to deal with that.

00:19:30.000 But we've got like two and a half more years of Brezhnev or whatever, basically, and then, you know, we'll have a chance to actually replace him.

00:19:38.000 What's Brezhnev?

00:19:39.000 Brezhnev was like the Soviet leader who was very in a similar situation to Biden where

00:19:43.000 he was just very, very old, very, very sick.

00:19:47.000 And there were all these people talking about how healthy and vigorous he was in Pravda.

00:19:52.000 Like that was, he was notorious for just being kind of, Russia had a really sclerotic decline

00:19:58.000 at that point.

00:19:59.000 The guys who were running it were all the old revolutionaries who were now really old.

00:20:03.000 Whoa.

00:20:04.000 Well, you know, you sort of mentioned the propaganda arm doing everything they could to make him sound as if he was competent and in good health.

00:20:11.000 And they're still doing that with Joe Biden, even though we see footage of the man speaking.

00:20:16.000 And it's abundantly clear to anyone who observes it that the man is not in his right mind.

00:20:20.000 He wasn't in his right mind during the primaries.

00:20:22.000 When I went to Ohio to hang out with my parents over Christmas last year, I was like, yeah, Joe Biden's a mess.

00:20:28.000 And they were like, no, Joe Biden's great. 0.89

00:20:30.000 And I was like, yeah, he's experiencing mental cognitive decline.

00:20:33.000 And they're like, yeah.

00:20:36.000 Everyone knows it.

00:20:37.000 They're like, there's that.

00:20:39.000 It's obvious.

00:20:40.000 You just put a video clip of him speaking 10 years ago, 2012, when Obama was president.

00:20:45.000 Perfectly articulate, clear, smooth cadence.

00:20:48.000 I wouldn't say smooth.

00:20:50.000 More articulate, but his gaffes then were outrageous as well.

00:20:53.000 Sure, but he didn't stumble over his words.

00:20:56.000 He had more energy.

00:20:57.000 It sounded like a normal politician speaking in a lot of ways.

00:21:00.000 It doesn't sound like that anymore.

00:21:01.000 I think it's true.

00:21:02.000 Yeah.

00:21:02.000 Is that what it's called?

00:21:02.000 In the afternoon.

00:21:03.000 Yep.

00:21:03.000 light chain he changed drastically in those four years yeah it's it's a

00:21:06.000 sundowning what it's called when you get older like you you start losing it your

00:21:11.000 brains in the afternoon as you as you're up you know so here's this guy he wakes

00:21:16.000 up in the morning and he's like I'm ready to get it and then you know within

00:21:19.000 a few hours like a bar turn on a shop at a pressure yeah so the argument the

00:21:24.000 media's tried to make too and I don't hear this as often because I think even 0.79

00:21:27.000 they realized how ridiculous it was but that he just has a speech impediment is 0.97

00:21:32.000 something we know quite frequently No, I know, well that's ridiculous. 0.97

00:21:34.000 Well, I did a cartoon about this called Joe Biden's Speech Therapist, but basically the idea is like, a speech impediment doesn't make you say poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids.

00:21:41.000 That's not how speech impediments work.

00:21:43.000 Like, that's a gaffe. 1.00

00:21:43.000 The man says stupid things. 1.00

00:21:44.000 Well, hold on. 1.00

00:21:44.000 Tourette's, maybe. 1.00

00:21:46.000 I guess, but is that a... would you consider that a speech impediment?

00:21:50.000 How is that defined?

00:21:51.000 I'm not sure.

00:21:52.000 I know, but they would say that he had a stutter.

00:21:54.000 Like, it was his stutter that would cause him to say these things.

00:21:56.000 Dude, that's not how a stutter works.

00:21:59.000 A stutter that just suddenly emerges at 78 years old, you know, in addition to you suddenly just having trouble making sense.

00:22:05.000 Yo, people fall for this stuff.

00:22:07.000 I know!

00:22:07.000 Well, and they will...

00:22:09.000 The stutter argument was useful because what it allowed for them to do was pretend like there wasn't a problem, but also call you mean for pointing out the problem.

00:22:19.000 So when we acknowledge that Biden can't speak straight, even in his State of the Union address, which was the best he sounded, he sounded somewhat drunk.

00:22:27.000 He was slurring his words.

00:22:29.000 If you point that out, people could say, hey, that's really mean and disrespectful to say about the president, but it's also true.

00:22:34.000 It's only mean if you acknowledge that it's true.

00:22:37.000 That's not a mean thing to say about someone if it isn't the case. 0.99

00:22:39.000 I want to pull up this meme right here we have of Kamala Harris because, you know, we're talking about people falling for stupid things. 0.99

00:22:45.000 This is a meme that's going around that has to do with the confirmation hearing of Brent Kavanaugh. 0.95

00:22:50.000 Kamala Harris says, I'll repeat the question.

00:22:52.000 Can you think of any laws that give the government power?

00:22:55.000 To make decisions over the male body?

00:22:58.000 That's a good impression.

00:22:58.000 Yeah, it's conscription.

00:23:03.000 Next.

00:23:04.000 Also, every other law, because the law governs your corporeal form.

00:23:08.000 They're not like just making laws about your soul.

00:23:10.000 Making decisions about the male... Now, this is nuance that she missed in the question.

00:23:14.000 Making a decision about what someone can't do is a decision about the body.

00:23:18.000 Making a decision about what someone has to do is very, very rare.

00:23:22.000 Conscription is specifically for men and their bodies, and they have to be thrown on the grenade for the sake of everybody else. 0.85

00:23:22.000 Conscription is one of them. 0.85

00:23:28.000 And I think in a real invasion, conscription's fine. 0.52

00:23:33.000 Like, if we were actually invaded and, like, all of a sudden we're like, ah, you know, this country has stormed the beaches and they're killing people, like, okay, well then everybody rally together, we're gonna die.

00:23:42.000 But, you know, then Vietnam is, like, not so good.

00:23:44.000 But anyway, that's not the point.

00:23:45.000 The point is, people share this.

00:23:48.000 They fall for these memes.

00:23:50.000 And I did a segment earlier because I responded to it by just saying, I'm pro-choice.

00:23:56.000 I believe men and women both have the right to choose whether or not they are parents.

00:24:01.000 And that means child support is over.

00:24:03.000 And they all got triggered.

00:24:05.000 And I genuinely didn't think that the liberals would get angry over this.

00:24:10.000 I thought they would agree and be like, yes.

00:24:12.000 No, they were like, men have no choice and no say in the matter.

00:24:14.000 Women get the choice. 1.00

00:24:15.000 That's it.

00:24:16.000 And the reason I bring that up is, for one, there's a lot of memes they fall for.

00:24:20.000 But the other thing is, I think you found a basic argument here.

00:24:24.000 When talking to your typical liberal pro-choice person that shows they'll argue against choice instantly if you say those words.

00:24:31.000 No more child support.

00:24:32.000 Instantly they're like, men have no choice.

00:24:33.000 It's like, oh okay, I thought you were pro-choice.

00:24:37.000 We've talked about it before.

00:24:37.000 No, I mean, they're not.

00:24:38.000 It's literally just them being pro-abortion.

00:24:40.000 They don't care about choice when it comes to literally any other issue.

00:24:43.000 And I said this on the show yesterday, but there really aren't other issues that we discuss in that form.

00:24:47.000 So if I say a person should be able to choose to own a gun, you don't call me pro-choice, you call me pro-gun.

00:24:52.000 Okay, well if you're saying someone should be able to choose to have an abortion, you are pro-abortion. 0.83

00:24:55.000 Like, they're pro-abortion.

00:24:56.000 I don't know, because I'm pro-choice when it comes to religion, but I'm not pro-religion.

00:25:02.000 That is an interesting point.

00:25:03.000 That's an interesting point.

00:25:04.000 But I think if there were people who were like trying to ban a religion, we'd probably call them anti-religion.

00:25:08.000 And if you were on the side of the debate saying that religions should be legalized or normalized or something, they probably would call you pro-religion.

00:25:16.000 And that's a hypothetical, but I'm talking about like the actual political issues we deal with.

00:25:20.000 And there really aren't other ones that we have the discussion about where we just say like they're in favor of choice and don't discuss what they're talking about choosing.

00:25:27.000 Like even when it comes to educational vouchers, we call it school choice.

00:25:30.000 We don't just call them pro-choice.

00:25:31.000 At what point can we refer to the, like, the left culture war grifters as anti-disestablishmentarian and anti-disestablishmentarian?

00:25:42.000 Almost got it.

00:25:43.000 I missed it.

00:25:44.000 As soon as we do, they'll redefine it, man.

00:25:45.000 I mean, I think that word specifically referred to some, like, church thing.

00:25:50.000 There's like a British movement to anti-disestablishment.

00:25:54.000 So it's like it must have had something to do with the Church of England.

00:25:58.000 But I was just thinking, like, I was thinking, like, we're just we're anti-establishment people.

00:26:02.000 We like we oppose the establishment institutions.

00:26:05.000 And so these people oppose the people who are anti.

00:26:08.000 So it's anti-anti-disestablishment.

00:26:09.000 Yeah, they want they want to come together.

00:26:11.000 They want to be anti-disestablishmentarians.

00:26:13.000 They would reject that.

00:26:14.000 They would say, like, well, actually, you're on the side of the establishment.

00:26:17.000 We're against the establishment.

00:26:18.000 That's why every fast food company in the country has the same opinions as me.

00:26:21.000 Right.

00:26:21.000 That's why we work for Jeff Bezos's company.

00:26:24.000 Did you guys see that there was an op-ed in the Washington Post arguing for George Washington University to change its name?

00:26:29.000 I did see that.

00:26:30.000 And, like, the Washington Post is right above it, and I'm just like... You know, we can all sit here and laugh about it, but it's kind of like...

00:26:37.000 You know, with the gas prices story and the oil and gas leases, we're on a big boat that's hit an iceberg. 0.98

00:26:44.000 And as it's sinking, there are a bunch of people claiming it's not really sinking and you're stupid, or that it's a good thing that it's sinking. 0.89

00:26:52.000 Meanwhile, the captain and his crew are looting the silverware and jumping into lifeboats, sending all of their valuables to another boat. 0.97

00:27:01.000 And we're sitting here yelling like, They're all but we're all trapped on this boat. They're

00:27:04.000 also finding some people on the boat. No here here Here's some silverware go tell everyone else that

00:27:08.000 everything's fine. So then the person's like thanks for the silverware

00:27:10.000 They go back onto the boat and they're like, hey guys I guess everything's fine

00:27:13.000 and then as by the time they come back the dudes gone with all the rest of the silverware like they're bribing people

00:27:18.000 to lie To us right now is the question 0.99

00:27:20.000 That Kamala Harris when she asks a question like this, is she really dumb or is she conniving? 1.00

00:27:26.000 Oh, she's conniving. 1.00

00:27:27.000 I think it's both. 1.00

00:27:27.000 She's dumb. 1.00

00:27:28.000 Maybe both. 1.00

00:27:29.000 So I think she's conniving.

00:27:29.000 I think it's both.

00:27:31.000 I think she's intelligent in the way she connives in some respects. 0.99

00:27:34.000 But on this issue, I think she's actually probably just dumb. 0.97

00:27:37.000 I would not be surprised if she hasn't questioned this particular perspective. 0.97

00:27:41.000 Yeah, if you had said, responded in lockstep conscription, she would just have been nodded

00:27:46.000 in stunned silence.

00:27:47.000 Can I just point out that there are a lot of laws prohibiting men from doing specific

00:27:51.000 things with their bodies in public?

00:27:52.000 Gross things, yes.

00:27:53.000 Like, any laws that give the government power to make decisions about the male body?

00:27:58.000 Yes.

00:27:59.000 I don't, I don't, I don't.

00:28:00.000 We should get into it on the after show.

00:28:02.000 I don't think we want to say that with kids listening.

00:28:04.000 But it's a good thing.

00:28:05.000 It's a good thing.

00:28:07.000 Like I said, every single law governs your corporeal form.

00:28:10.000 They're not making laws about what you can do with your soul.

00:28:13.000 They're making laws about what you do with your body.

00:28:17.000 So get this, get this.

00:28:17.000 They're not going to convict you.

00:28:19.000 When I responded to this meme by saying that I was pro-choice and that men should choose to be able to, you know, Like Dave Chappelle made that joke.

00:28:26.000 He's like, if you can choose to kill it, I can choose to at least abandon it.

00:28:29.000 And then everyone left.

00:28:31.000 And I kid you not, the responses I got were, the man made a choice, and he got a woman pregnant, and now it's his responsibility.

00:28:39.000 He can't just claim it.

00:28:40.000 And I was like, wait a minute. 0.94

00:28:42.000 What they're saying is all women are raped. 0.98

00:28:44.000 Like, every act of sex is actually rape. 0.99

00:28:45.000 Because women never consent to sex. 1.00

00:28:48.000 They're saying... But I mean, quite literally they're saying women get a choice and men don't.

00:28:52.000 For the exact same reasons.

00:28:54.000 But they were making pro-life arguments as to why men don't get a choice.

00:28:57.000 And I'm just like...

00:28:59.000 Are they just anti-men?

00:28:59.000 What?

00:29:02.000 I was like, if you make a pro-choice argument and I agree with you, but then you just all of a sudden give me the pro-life version of it.

00:29:08.000 He made a choice and he could have used birth control.

00:29:11.000 I kid you not.

00:29:11.000 They said condoms and birth control are readily available.

00:29:14.000 He has to be responsible for it.

00:29:14.000 It's his fault.

00:29:15.000 And I'm like, are you, are you, what?

00:29:18.000 We talked about this.

00:29:19.000 We talked about this yesterday.

00:29:20.000 At some point, even if they don't do so in the totality of the position, at some point, left-wingers come back around to a right-wing position.

00:29:27.000 They get so far to the left.

00:29:29.000 So, the other day I was joking that they'll say things like, well, if abortion's illegal, then men should be forced to take care of the children.

00:29:38.000 They're like, yes, every conservative agrees with that.

00:29:40.000 And on this point, when you talk about men in child support, all of a sudden, they're very big fans of personal responsibility and not having sex with someone you wouldn't have a child with.

00:29:49.000 There was a bill in Florida to ban abortion for 15 weeks.

00:29:52.000 So a Democrat proposed an amendment that would require men to pay child support at 15 weeks.

00:29:56.000 And then I was just like... Awesome.

00:29:58.000 Yeah, I don't understand.

00:30:00.000 The pro-life people want marriage.

00:30:02.000 They want child support from conception.

00:30:06.000 They want familial support before conception. 0.99

00:30:09.000 Also, like, what kind of insane society do we live in where the political solution is, oh, like, let's legislate that someone should have to pay for his pregnant woman's unborn child.

00:30:22.000 Like, there used to be a social mechanism for that, right?

00:30:24.000 People would get married and have kids, and a man would be ashamed if he was not taking care of the child that he had created with a woman. 0.96

00:30:30.000 It's cultural enforcement and cultural decay.

00:30:34.000 You have to legislate things that society doesn't do.

00:30:37.000 So if people aren't supporting their kids and you're like, okay, we, we got, we got, we have to tell them they have to.

00:30:41.000 Culture used to have, you know, as what, uh, Jordan Peterson called cultural... Enforced monogamy?

00:30:45.000 Enforced monogamy.

00:30:48.000 And then just like every other circumstance where the left has no idea what's going on, they assume what it means without asking questions or doing any basic research.

00:30:55.000 And then they're like, Jordan Peterson wants to force women to marry... Literally not what he's talking about.

00:31:01.000 No, actually I, I do.

00:31:02.000 I think that would be, yeah, no, I mean, if I see you outside... You can hop over.

00:31:05.000 We're quick everybody. Let's go to Chicken City. Oh, maybe I just saw a buffered thing

00:31:10.000 I think they buffered 15 seconds when I click on a stream.

00:31:12.000 Let me see if it keeps going Technical glitches

00:31:17.000 Unbelievable I wonder why this is happening.

00:31:22.000 It's Seamus' fault, probably.

00:31:23.000 It's probably because Will Chamberlain's here.

00:31:25.000 Because I've been on the show a lot of times, and it hasn't frozen, but he's here.

00:31:28.000 Who was on last time this happened?

00:31:31.000 I don't remember.

00:31:32.000 I remember it did freeze on Ian.

00:31:34.000 I was on Vanguard and Blackrock, and then everything froze.

00:31:37.000 Was it Pozo?

00:31:38.000 Yeah, I think it was.

00:31:38.000 I don't remember.

00:31:39.000 Can we take this opportunity to swear our brains?

00:31:41.000 No, I'm just kidding.

00:31:45.000 We can keep talking.

00:31:46.000 Keep the show going.

00:31:47.000 We'll be uploading this to Rumble.

00:31:49.000 Rumble?

00:31:50.000 Yeah, we should upload this one to Rumble because it got pretty pretty junked.

00:31:53.000 Yeah, well, I'm going to upload the whole episode to all podcast platforms and I'll use the raw file to make clips for us.

00:31:58.000 How's family life, Will?

00:32:02.000 We're back did you hear my question?

00:32:04.000 Oh, yeah, I wonder how much of that dropped off.

00:32:07.000 Yeah That's appeared.

00:32:09.000 Oh, you know Seamus saying all like his bank personal information Dude I've never had a gaffe like that before so Everybody everybody that was YouTube not us.

00:32:21.000 Yeah, not us Yeah, our internet is completely fine.

00:32:24.000 And I believe chicken city never went down.

00:32:26.000 That's right.

00:32:27.000 So you could have been there.

00:32:28.000 Oh We used the same internet feed for a couple different things and we had- so this was a YouTube thing.

00:32:33.000 We should have run out to Jade City.

00:32:35.000 There were other streams that were also- Yeah, I checked Zuby's livestream and that was also paused and it's still paused.

00:32:41.000 Yeah, it's YouTube.

00:32:42.000 I don't know what's going on.

00:32:43.000 YouTube's under attack!

00:32:44.000 You know what?

00:32:46.000 I don't remember.

00:32:46.000 We were talking about something generational warfare. You know what I don't remember. Let's all go home. We're

00:32:50.000 talking about abortion You will house family 0.99

00:32:53.000 Well, let's talk about the formula shortage you got a story from the Daily Mail is what America looks America last

00:33:01.000 looks like GOP-wrapped fumes at pallets of baby formula being sent to border centers for illegal migrants while American babies go without amid nationwide shortage.

00:33:11.000 So she posted this picture she said she got from a border patrol agent.

00:33:15.000 The first photo is from the Ursula Processing Center at the U.S.

00:33:17.000 border.

00:33:18.000 Shelves packed with baby formula.

00:33:20.000 My favorite thing about it, you're gonna love this, is there are signs that say, I think it says like 84, let me, actually I don't know if you can see it.

00:33:28.000 What does it say?

00:33:29.000 It says, like, 84 times 26 equals 216.

00:33:33.000 2016.

00:33:34.000 And people are like, it says 2016.

00:33:35.000 It's clearly a very old photograph.

00:33:37.000 What?

00:33:38.000 And it's like, dude, they're talking about the amount of baby formula they have.

00:33:42.000 Everybody who says this is fake doesn't have a child or does not purchase formula.

00:33:47.000 But are they really giving it to illegal immigrants instead of Americans?

00:33:50.000 I'm sure they have, like, a backup supply, right?

00:33:52.000 Like, they've probably got their supply line set up.

00:33:55.000 Here's the thing to understand, right?

00:33:56.000 There's a lot of... It's not the hardest to find, like, the standard issue formula right now, right?

00:34:01.000 They're sort of like the very basic, like most companies that make formula

00:34:05.000 and have some sort of formula that is the default, similar to breast milk formula, right?

00:34:13.000 And that's still available in a lot of places.

00:34:15.000 And even if you can't find the brand you've been used to, you can find a version of that.

00:34:19.000 The problem is that some babies need these very niche specialty formulas

00:34:23.000 because they have very special nutritional needs.

00:34:24.000 They just don't tolerate the normal stuff.

00:34:26.000 And those babies are stuck, there might be like two companies

00:34:29.000 making that particular type of formula.

00:34:32.000 And they're scrambling and it's like, they can't eat anything else.

00:34:36.000 And I mean, there's people saying- Cow's milk.

00:34:38.000 Right, oh no, they can't.

00:34:40.000 They can't eat anything else.

00:34:41.000 This is what they eat.

00:34:43.000 Goat's milk.

00:34:44.000 Like they're scrambling to find it.

00:34:45.000 Wait, horse milk.

00:34:47.000 Horse milk, right.

00:34:48.000 You're onto something.

00:34:50.000 We tried it!

00:34:51.000 So this is a real thing.

00:34:52.000 On our end, we have to use formula.

00:34:56.000 That's not a choice.

00:34:57.000 We need to.

00:34:59.000 And we're lucky that our little Elizabeth tolerates the standard-issue, normal, close-to-presimal formula, so we've been able to switch.

00:35:07.000 But we've already switched once.

00:35:09.000 We switched away from Similac to this Amazon house brand.

00:35:12.000 Now we're going to have to switch away from the Amazon house brand because that's out of stock, so we're switching to something else.

00:35:17.000 And you're just wondering, what's the next thing that's going to go out of stock?

00:35:21.000 When is this going to end and they're going to get this plant?

00:35:24.000 They shut down the single most biggest production baby formula plant in the country over some health issues and they haven't reopened it.

00:35:33.000 And it's like, there's problems, like we've emptied shelves of formula.

00:35:37.000 Well, I just found out that cow's milk has no vitamin C, but horse milk actually has lots of vitamin C. Well, thank you for the suggestion.

00:35:45.000 Good suggestion, yeah.

00:35:48.000 I've seen a lot of posts from, you know, we actually made the joke, just breastfeed.

00:35:53.000 And then I can't remember who we had on, but they were like, what did mothers do before Nestlé was incorporated?

00:35:58.000 But I understand not everybody can or does.

00:35:59.000 Wet nurses. 0.98

00:36:00.000 Yeah, the answer is wet nurses, right? 0.98

00:36:03.000 Unless you would go down to the town forum and there would be women who could breastfeed and you would hand your child over to the woman whose job it was to literally breastfeed everybody's children. 1.00

00:36:13.000 So women need to create breastfeed pods if they have a baby. 1.00

00:36:19.000 I don't know what else you're going to do.

00:36:20.000 If your baby's starving, you're going to do what you got to do, right?

00:36:22.000 We have the equivalent, some form of that, in the La Lette League, which is women who donate excess breast milk, which is such an amazing idea.

00:36:30.000 This is an international league where you can go to almost any community.

00:36:33.000 There's one in Frederick.

00:36:34.000 There's a bunch in this area.

00:36:36.000 And you need to hook up with that and see if there's women who are willing to donate because some of them have extra. 1.00

00:36:41.000 So I think that's probably the best source for people who are really struggling to find formula.

00:36:45.000 Pediatricians say not to make it, but I also know that pediatricians get a lot of kickbacks from these companies to recommend these formulas.

00:36:52.000 You think a person can live off of nothing but human breast milk?

00:36:56.000 Uh, probably not an adult.

00:36:57.000 Probably not an adult.

00:36:57.000 Yeah.

00:36:58.000 It doesn't... Bodybuilders buy it. 1.00

00:37:00.000 Yeah, but they're dumb. 1.00

00:37:01.000 I don't know, it's... But yeah, I mean, there's people who are like... And then that doesn't necessarily solve it. 0.99

00:37:06.000 They're like, some babies who can't tolerate breast milk, they really do need very specific things.

00:37:10.000 Well, I mean, but let's be real, Will.

00:37:13.000 You know, I don't think your child is deserving of it because there are oppressed, marginalized babies at the 1.00

00:37:17.000 border.

00:37:17.000 Right. There was somebody who tweeted...

00:37:18.000 Did you consider that?

00:37:19.000 We tweeted out that I was like...

00:37:20.000 That your child doesn't deserve it?

00:37:21.000 Well, we tweeted out that I was well-stocked on formula, right?

00:37:24.000 Because like we... I've seen this coming. This has been in the news.

00:37:26.000 So, you know, we got like maybe two months of formula in the... just in the pantry.

00:37:30.000 And somebody, you know, tweeted at me.

00:37:32.000 It's like, what about other people's babies?

00:37:34.000 You're being selfish.

00:37:35.000 Like, do you think your child is more important than other people's children?

00:37:37.000 I was like, yes.

00:37:39.000 I do care more about my child.

00:37:42.000 Yes.

00:37:43.000 Other people's children are other people's job. 0.99

00:37:45.000 My child is my job.

00:37:47.000 I just love that question.

00:37:47.000 Do you think your kids are more important?

00:37:50.000 Yes.

00:37:51.000 Of course.

00:37:53.000 Yeah.

00:37:53.000 No, I mean, look, it's a serious problem.

00:37:54.000 We can talk about all the other inflationary pressures people are facing, but a shortage of formula for the families who really need it.

00:38:00.000 I mean, that is devastating.

00:38:01.000 I mean, it's like the only food.

00:38:03.000 Like imagine going to the grocery store and there's nothing there.

00:38:06.000 That's the equivalent for these children who can eat one thing and that's their entire diet.

00:38:10.000 Now hold on.

00:38:11.000 That's an unbelievable scandal.

00:38:13.000 We got these photos, right?

00:38:14.000 Here's a photo from a store of the empty baby formula section.

00:38:18.000 Explain to those who don't understand.

00:38:20.000 It looks like there is formula.

00:38:22.000 Can't parents just buy these formulas?

00:38:24.000 So, first off, it means you have to switch, right?

00:38:26.000 Like, no matter what.

00:38:27.000 So, like, there's only one brand that actually has canisters, right?

00:38:30.000 It looks like Enfamil, which is on the top row.

00:38:32.000 Then you have, like, that means, so if your kid is used to and tolerates some other formula, like Similac, which is the other major brand, or, like, the house brands, like, You don't really like switching formula

00:38:42.000 because your baby tolerates and it works.

00:38:44.000 You want to stick with the same one.

00:38:46.000 But that, so basically it means like it doesn't matter if you've been using Similac or any other brand,

00:38:51.000 guess what, the only thing available today is Enfamil.

00:38:53.000 And moreover, not all the Enfamil's up there.

00:38:55.000 So if your baby tolerates a very specific like kind of type of formula,

00:39:00.000 say one that's like lactose free for sensitive or you know, there's Alimentum, there's a wide variety.

00:39:05.000 Well, that might not be there.

00:39:06.000 So guess what, the formula your baby tolerates isn't at the store, so you need to go to another store.

00:39:11.000 You need to drive.

00:39:12.000 And moreover, it's like, you know, there's not that much on the shelf right there, right?

00:39:16.000 Like, you know, the Similac thing, that little, the bottle, that's like nothing

00:39:20.000 because the powder is actually where you actually can feed your kid in bulk, right?

00:39:23.000 Like, most, the way most people end up making formula is you have, you get the powder in bulk, you add water, and you mix it, and so, like, one canister of powder will last you, like, a week, right?

00:39:33.000 That little, like, thing, the bottle on the middle shelf, right?

00:39:36.000 That'll last you, uh...

00:39:39.000 Eight, you know, 12 hours, right?

00:39:41.000 That's like 12 hours of food.

00:39:42.000 We got to make wet nurses great again. 1.00

00:39:44.000 Right?

00:39:44.000 Like apparently.

00:39:45.000 So that's, that, that's a serious, that's a problem, right?

00:39:48.000 Like it's not that, you know, most babies will probably be able to tolerate one of the formulas that's on the top shelf, but that's not good.

00:39:55.000 And it really needs to not get worse.

00:39:57.000 Right?

00:39:57.000 And then for some babies, that's a huge problem.

00:39:59.000 I'm wondering, like, how often do societies go through this period where there's, like, this fall off, you know what I mean?

00:40:07.000 A strife.

00:40:08.000 I suppose we can make references to Strassau generational theory or the fourth turning or whatever.

00:40:13.000 But I'm wondering, you know, all of a sudden we had this luxury that is formula.

00:40:18.000 We used to need wet nurses. 1.00

00:40:19.000 That was the normal human thing.

00:40:21.000 We invented formula.

00:40:22.000 We invented a process by which we could feed babies.

00:40:24.000 And now all of a sudden it's a shock to our system that we don't have it.

00:40:27.000 If we were still doing traditional wet nurse stuff, nobody would care about this.

00:40:32.000 So it seems like the developments and everything we've had, being ripped away, gas prices through the roof, you can't drive anymore, it's hard to work, it's hard to buy a house, food shortages, diesel shortages, baby formula shortages, cat food shortages.

00:40:43.000 It's like we reached this plateau of luxury and now we're being dropped off.

00:40:47.000 And I'm wondering, does that happen often?

00:40:50.000 It seems like it's part of the system of growth, because I was thinking last night, what if I just disposed of my feces in the woods?

00:40:56.000 I'd be like, well, it wouldn't be a problem as a one-off.

00:40:59.000 Like, I could do it one time, but it's not sustainable.

00:41:01.000 And as the city grows, people, not everyone can just go dump their waste in the woods.

00:41:06.000 And I think the same thing... Yo, they used to throw it out their windows.

00:41:08.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:41:09.000 When you have a few enough people, it's fine.

00:41:11.000 Just send it over there, over the hill over there, and you don't have to think about it.

00:41:13.000 But, you know, once society grows to a point you can't, like, wet nurses, maybe you could argue the wet nurses no longer made sense.

00:41:20.000 I think in this society they could.

00:41:22.000 Mandatory milking.

00:41:24.000 I'll tell you this right now.

00:41:33.000 I'm willing to bet women who are overproducing are making a good penny. 1.00

00:41:38.000 Oh, I'm sure they are.

00:41:39.000 Because you've already had women who sell their breast milk to bodybuilders. 1.00

00:41:43.000 And I guess the idea is they're like human breast milk is formulated perfectly for humans.

00:41:47.000 So bodybuilders buy it and they're like, you know, they want it.

00:41:50.000 But you also have mothers who buy it when they can't produce because they prefer breast milk over formula. 1.00

00:41:55.000 I think the demand is obviously through the roof.

00:41:58.000 So, you know, we joke about wet nurses, but it's probably in full swing right now.

00:42:03.000 It is happening.

00:42:04.000 Could well be.

00:42:04.000 Yeah.

00:42:05.000 Well, isn't it interesting that this new development, and don't get me wrong, I love science.

00:42:09.000 I think that scientific advances are amazing.

00:42:11.000 And part of the reason we require formula is because we're able to deliver and sustain babies as young as 21 weeks.

00:42:17.000 But it is very interesting that this scientific development is pushing us away from other people.

00:42:22.000 It is keeping us from relying on somebody like a wet nurse. 1.00

00:42:25.000 And of course, you don't want to be tied to another person, but it's dissolving the community.

00:42:29.000 That's the answer.

00:42:30.000 Tied to the other person.

00:42:31.000 Right.

00:42:31.000 No more removal of umbilical cords until... That's right.

00:42:34.000 I agree.

00:42:35.000 Absolutely.

00:42:35.000 And you don't gotta worry about formula.

00:42:36.000 The baby's just... Placenta baby.

00:42:37.000 The mom eats the cheeseburger and the baby grows.

00:42:39.000 Yes.

00:42:40.000 I can speak, like, formula is a wonderful invention.

00:42:42.000 There's a lot of people who rely on it for a reason, you know, like, in terms of, you know, reliably.

00:42:48.000 I mean, because, like, you know, Breastfeeding's not for everybody, right?

00:42:52.000 It can be a real, real struggle for people.

00:42:54.000 For us, we absolutely needed to switch to formula.

00:42:57.000 It wasn't really an option by the time we made that decision.

00:43:00.000 For sure.

00:43:01.000 I ask, what does that mean for our civilization if planes, for instance, all of a sudden the cost of flying is getting really, really difficult.

00:43:09.000 It's going up for a lot of people.

00:43:11.000 Yeah, it's like a Jenga tower.

00:43:12.000 when these inventions, these standards that, you know, we'd call them lug trees a hundred

00:43:17.000 years ago, they become standards.

00:43:18.000 What happens when we lose those?

00:43:20.000 Are we in for a long fall?

00:43:21.000 What are you talking about?

00:43:22.000 Electricity, maybe the central electric grid.

00:43:24.000 We're so used to that.

00:43:25.000 If that goes out, yeah, it's like a Jenga tower.

00:43:27.000 If you take out the wrong block at the wrong time.

00:43:29.000 Well, you're seeing the blocks of diesel because with diesel going up, diesel is how we get

00:43:35.000 all of the products that go on our store shelves.

00:43:37.000 You pull out one pin, and I don't think that people understand this because we've lived such fluffy, protected lives for so long now.

00:43:43.000 And I remember there was a point in time where you could watch anything on your computer, you could order anything through DoorDash, and you could go to the store and get everything.

00:43:51.000 And I remember thinking, this is amazing.

00:43:52.000 We're incredibly lucky.

00:43:53.000 It's all about to fall down.

00:43:55.000 And I don't remember why I thought that, but pretty soon after that, we ended up

00:43:58.000 with COVID. We started to have supply chain disruption.

00:44:01.000 And I'm starting to think that was the peak.

00:44:03.000 I don't know if it's all downhill for us or not, but it's not looking good.

00:44:07.000 I think it's only going to get worse.

00:44:08.000 Tim, you asked earlier about our society and how if it frequently happens like

00:44:12.000 this kind of this kind of cycle or this kind of thing.

00:44:14.000 And it's like, yeah, we can think of America as a society, but realistically,

00:44:17.000 the globe is a society.

00:44:19.000 The entire species is a society, and starvation and famine is prevalent.

00:44:23.000 In the 1900s, you not only have the Hold'em War, which is human-caused, you've got the Cultural Revolution in China, which I don't know how many millions of people died from starvation because of that.

00:44:32.000 Right today we'll talk about over there where we're bombing in Yemen.

00:44:36.000 I think that the Americans are involved in the Saudis bombing Yemen and causing famine. 0.55

00:44:41.000 So like famine, it's almost always there and if you're on the wrong end of the stick Hopefully you know how to fast.

00:44:48.000 Let's talk about this.

00:44:50.000 While we're dealing with these formula shortages, and Will was able to accurately articulate the problem that parents are facing with this shortage, let's talk about Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act.

00:45:02.000 $40 billion going to a war in Eastern Europe to aid a country that is not a NATO ally, not an EU member state, but for some reason, we should say, one of the largest war packages in history.

00:45:14.000 You know what really freaks me out?

00:45:16.000 Is this right here.

00:45:18.000 I mean, isn't this a little effing odd?

00:45:20.000 That's what I said.

00:45:22.000 Every single Democrat.

00:45:23.000 Yay.

00:45:24.000 Not a single?

00:45:24.000 No, not a single one of them.

00:45:26.000 Republicans, it's like two to one.

00:45:29.000 It's almost like they're gonna get kickbacks from this.

00:45:32.000 Or they just hate the people they claim to represent.

00:45:35.000 They have no concern for protecting their own countrymen.

00:45:38.000 They don't have any desire to ensure that the people back home have any kind of relief.

00:45:43.000 It's all about ensuring that other people get- Imagine being like an anti-war Democrat voter.

00:45:49.000 Like someone who still believes what Democrats believed, I don't know, a decade ago on the war.

00:45:54.000 You know, it just... I'd be depressed if I were them.

00:45:58.000 Like, I think Glenn Greenwald did a point. 1.00

00:45:59.000 I mean, the whole squad voted for all this crap. 0.99

00:46:01.000 The entirety of the squad. 1.00

00:46:03.000 Look at this, look at this.

00:46:04.000 Okay, so here it is.

00:46:06.000 I guarantee people who are listening can name those who voted no.

00:46:11.000 Right?

00:46:11.000 I'm gonna guess Thomas Massey.

00:46:13.000 Thomas Massey is right here as a nay. 1.00

00:46:17.000 You've got Marjorie Taylor Greene, of course.

00:46:19.000 Where's she at?

00:46:21.000 She's in here somewhere.

00:46:23.000 Lauren Boebert, of course, right there saying no.

00:46:26.000 Cawthorne saying no.

00:46:28.000 Uh, let's see, who else?

00:46:29.000 Jim Jordan says no.

00:46:31.000 There's David Cawthorn.

00:46:32.000 Madison Cawthorn?

00:46:33.000 Where's he at?

00:46:34.000 I guess David Cawthorn would be Madison Cawthorn because it is the same district, not an NC-11.

00:46:38.000 Oh, okay.

00:46:40.000 Is that his middle name or something?

00:46:42.000 Oh yeah, first name maybe, I don't know.

00:46:44.000 Well, how about that?

00:46:45.000 Clay Higgins, John Rose, Ronnie Jackson, Pete Sessions.

00:46:50.000 Yeah, just as an aside, Madison Cawthorn, his name is David Madison Cawthorn.

00:46:54.000 That's disingenuous that they put him up there as David and he goes by Madison.

00:46:57.000 That's really messed up.

00:46:58.000 It's weird.

00:46:58.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:47:00.000 Marjorie Greene, of course, she's right there.

00:47:01.000 Now, I just loved this when I saw Glenn Greenwald tweet about it.

00:47:05.000 He's like, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez supporting one of the largest war packages ever.

00:47:10.000 It's like, there she is!

00:47:12.000 Well, and look, every single time, every single time the government fails to meet the needs of the American people in some significant way, the response from the left is, if we didn't have such an astronomical defense budget, we could afford to take care of people right now.

00:47:24.000 In the midst of all these problems, they go, you know what, let's just send $40 billion

00:47:28.000 over to Ukraine to get involved in foreign affairs.

00:47:31.000 Here's what I love, though.

00:47:32.000 We have this clip from Bill Maher that's been going viral.

00:47:35.000 Student loan forgiveness is a loser issue for the party that wants to win back the working 0.97

00:47:38.000 class.

00:47:39.000 And Bill makes a couple good points.

00:47:40.000 He's like, 13% of Americans have student loan debt.

00:47:43.000 That's not a lot of people.

00:47:45.000 50% of that debt is held by graduate degrees.

00:47:49.000 And he was like, come on.

00:47:50.000 He's like, these are people who are like, I don't know what else to do.

00:47:53.000 I'm going to keep going to school because someone else is paying for it.

00:47:56.000 Bill Maher saying that, and then they all basically agree.

00:48:00.000 And so for me, this was actually a convincing argument.

00:48:03.000 I've often said that I think we should forgive the interest rates.

00:48:09.000 If you borrowed it, you got to pay it back.

00:48:10.000 But the interest rates I can understand are insane.

00:48:12.000 After watching this Bill Maher segment, I'm like, nope, nevermind.

00:48:14.000 I'm done.

00:48:15.000 Nah, sorry.

00:48:16.000 It's on you.

00:48:17.000 13% and half of its graduate degrees?

00:48:20.000 This is what the Democrats are focused on.

00:48:22.000 The highest income earners who want a freebie.

00:48:24.000 That's what it is.

00:48:25.000 Sorry, I'm done with this argument.

00:48:26.000 They're just giving something to their voters.

00:48:27.000 Their voters are the professional class.

00:48:28.000 13% of people, they're gonna win over.

00:48:30.000 It's great, no point.

00:48:34.000 To tolerate loan forgiveness if we classify the debt as odious and then go at the universities to get the payment back, right?

00:48:42.000 I'm willing to use that because there are people who were genuinely exploited by these universities and they got degrees that are worthless and maybe don't need to be completely immiserated forever.

00:48:53.000 I'm cool with that.

00:48:55.000 In the foreign policy context, whenever we forgive somebody else's debt, what we're saying is that's odious debt.

00:48:59.000 It should never have been issued.

00:49:00.000 It was wrong to issue it.

00:49:02.000 And we need to go back and get, essentially, like, you know, go back and get a reimbursement.

00:49:08.000 I forget the exact word.

00:49:09.000 What's a historical example of an odious debt?

00:49:12.000 A debt we would give to, like, an African country under a dictator that we'd later forgive, you know, because the new government took power. 0.96

00:49:20.000 What do you think about usury, which is basically collecting interest on loans?

00:49:24.000 Well, I mean, the general concept of collecting interest on loans is, I mean, I think one, inevitable, and two, good, because otherwise there's never any loans, right?

00:49:33.000 And money, there's a time value of money.

00:49:35.000 It used to be the way that there was no interest.

00:49:38.000 And then it was called usury, and it was punishable by death if someone did that.

00:49:41.000 And then all of a sudden, at some point in the banking industry, 1700s with Amshell Rothschild or something, they just started Maybe way or that you know loans are very very old right

00:49:49.000 like you're talking you know if you're talking loans I don't even know how old the dead dead is I mean actually

00:49:53.000 you know people think barter is like the original Transaction that's wrong dead is yeah favors favors right

00:49:59.000 like that's the basis for all right insurance used to be if my house burns down

00:50:03.000 I'll owe you one and so then if your house burns down I'll like if my house burns down and you help me in any way

00:50:09.000 I am indebted to you And it's the expectation the expectation that I would then

00:50:14.000 go and help you in the event of something similar or repay the favor usually

00:50:17.000 to clarify as unethical practice of originating alone with an

00:50:21.000 unreasonably high interest rate I guess that's a social conversation.

00:50:26.000 My concern is you've got Democrats who are in lockstep voting for war.

00:50:32.000 And I think the reason they do it is they know their voters don't care about it.

00:50:35.000 I don't think AOC ever was anti-war at all.

00:50:38.000 I think she assumed her base cared about it.

00:50:41.000 Now that the media narrative is, yay Ukraine!

00:50:43.000 They're like, okay good, now we can vote for war.

00:50:45.000 That's it.

00:50:46.000 So when I hear about this debt forgiveness stuff, I'm like, Y'all want $40 billion for war in Ukraine?

00:50:54.000 You got it.

00:50:55.000 The rest of your debt, sorry, no dice.

00:50:58.000 You got your war, you got your funding, you sent the money that would have paid off your debts to Raytheon, I hope you're happy.

00:51:05.000 Congratulations, that's who you voted for.

00:51:07.000 Yeah, no, I mean, certainly there should be no talk of debt, of student debt forgiveness now, right?

00:51:12.000 Like, from the, and allowing Republicans, like, the idea that they'd allow any of this to go through from Democrats, that they wouldn't, Um, inflict massive punitary measures, right?

00:51:20.000 Like, I've heard Biden's thing about doing it unilaterally.

00:51:22.000 If that were done, then the next time Republicans take power, they should just simply end the student loan program, right?

00:51:27.000 Like, we don't- Absolutely.

00:51:27.000 There's no Jubilees.

00:51:28.000 It's like, protect- And you're protecting your voters from the Biden and the professional class just basically looting them, right?

00:51:36.000 Like, because, you know, the Trump- the Republican voters, like, that's not the professional class.

00:51:42.000 And so basically, like, The whole student loan debt forgiveness is screw over Republican voters to benefit Democrat voters.

00:51:47.000 We should never tolerate that.

00:51:49.000 Absolutely not.

00:51:50.000 This sort of goes back to a conversation we've had a number of times on this show about the moral foundations and the fact that the two moral foundations that people on the left have are care and fairness.

00:51:59.000 And those two values by themselves, not tempered by other values, literally don't mean anything, right?

00:52:04.000 So if you're talking about something like loyalty, we can sort of put somewhat objective metrics on that, right?

00:52:11.000 I would actually say very objective metrics.

00:52:13.000 With care and fairness, the way it's articulated by the left, Especially care that can literally just mean it can literally mean anything like we have to care about other people we have to help other people and you don't have to give a robust argument for why what you're doing actually will help and How it won't be of too much negative consequence to the people who the help is coming at the expense of right and they certainly don't and that produces not only examples like So many senators on the left or I'm sorry so many political leaders on the left who have argued against or sending money to Ukraine

00:52:46.000 It's also a huge part of the reason why we had a 4.2 trillion dollar bailout and added an insane percentage of currency to the money supply over the course of two years and have runaway inflation as a result because no one considers the negative long-term effects of any given policy prescription because all they have to say is, see, look at me, I care!

00:53:06.000 Look at me, I'm doing the thing that's fair for people!

00:53:08.000 What do you think would happen if red areas stopped trading with blue areas?

00:53:12.000 Hmm like I don't mean state I mean areas rural, Illinois was just like we're no longer gonna be doing business with the city Well, if rural Maryland decided to stop sending stuff to Baltimore, I don't know what happened.

00:53:24.000 It'd be a mess wouldn't be good I mean This is where a lot of this stuff comes from we create a lot of farms around here a lot of cows a lot of grain a I wonder what value rural folk get from city folk.

00:53:37.000 And obviously there's like technological advancements, there's insurance companies, there's media and stuff.

00:53:43.000 But we're getting so divided at this point.

00:53:45.000 And so many people are content with, I mean, we're facing decentralization of the economy, cultural development.

00:53:51.000 A lot of these jobs can be done outside of cities.

00:53:54.000 What is the benefit for any conservative to do business inside of a city or with cities when they can distribute via the internet or through shipping or whatever?

00:54:02.000 Personally, I haven't been to a city in like a long time.

00:54:06.000 Many, many months.

00:54:08.000 Many, many, many months.

00:54:09.000 You end up needing certain professional class services, right?

00:54:12.000 And you think about legal services, you end up needing medical services.

00:54:17.000 But we got lawyers out here.

00:54:18.000 I mean, you do.

00:54:18.000 Yeah, we do.

00:54:19.000 But like, it can get... I don't know.

00:54:22.000 It depends.

00:54:22.000 Like, there's a reason that like these city, you know, metropolises open up.

00:54:27.000 And I mean, you think about a place like Chicago.

00:54:29.000 What is Chicago built around?

00:54:30.000 Well, it's the hub of the entire Midwest.

00:54:32.000 But I mean, I understand why back in the day centralization was important.

00:54:42.000 So you run a big farm.

00:54:44.000 You set up your headquarters in Chicago because you can walk 10 feet and there's the headquarters of another company that you need to trade with.

00:54:51.000 Well now we're doing everything online.

00:54:52.000 Well, yeah, I was just thinking I did spend time in Nashville a very centralized active music scene 0.69

00:54:57.000 And it's kind of like why do we use Twitter when it's we know it's crap because it's centralized and that's where

00:55:02.000 everyone's at same With Nashville I go there because that's where they live 0.54

00:55:04.000 so there's this idea that wealth disappears within three generations when it's inherited and I almost wonder if

00:55:11.000 We're asking the same question about many of these large cities in the sense that have they?

00:55:16.000 given the world something tremendous in order to start themselves and become centers of wealth and

00:55:21.000 And are they now more or less squandering that wealth by doing jobs which are more or less useless and unnecessary because of their position within society?

00:55:28.000 Because that's often how wealth leaves a family, right?

00:55:31.000 The people are insulated from the realities of what not being productive results in, so they like stop being productive and eventually lose all their money.

00:55:38.000 That's the story of Detroit, right?

00:55:39.000 Like, that's actually a very... I mean, we don't... It's hard for us to understand, but Detroit used to be, like, the up-and-coming economic center of the country, the third biggest, you know, city, you know, and, like, one of the... I mean, Detroit shrunk massively, but when, you know, in the heyday of the car industry, pre-Silicon Valley, like, Detroit was the place to go if you were a young person.

00:55:59.000 You know, the economic engine of the country, the Silicon Valley of its time, and now it's not.

00:56:05.000 I think there's a natural life cycle to these things.

00:56:07.000 You have some wildly profitable, powerful, innovative industry in your economic area.

00:56:13.000 It allows the government to get away with all sorts of shenanigans and still have the place function pretty well.

00:56:19.000 But if that industry declines, things fall apart really quick.

00:56:23.000 I was looking at Rogan's Instagram, Joe Rogan, and he reposted this thing from Tim Oliphant, an artist who's an incredible artist, incredible artist, of Elon, Joe, and of Chip flying the ship that they're in, the Tesla ship, spaceship.

00:56:36.000 But it made me very sad because what Tim was saying is that I've drawn since I was a kid, graduated from college with an art degree.

00:56:43.000 A few years later, I found myself pursuing in a miserable home improvement job, mostly painting houses.

00:56:47.000 But Joe inspired him to quit his home improvement job and become a full-time artist.

00:56:52.000 And I was like, uh, this is where our society has done to people.

00:56:55.000 People don't want to do home improvement work. 0.98

00:56:57.000 They don't want to be plumbers.

00:56:58.000 They want to be artists.

00:57:00.000 And this is a big problem.

00:57:02.000 A functional job that has great benefit to society, that is tangible.

00:57:06.000 And people are like, but I don't want to service my community.

00:57:08.000 I want to draw pictures.

00:57:09.000 Now, I certainly respect art.

00:57:11.000 I make art.

00:57:11.000 We make music.

00:57:13.000 But I think the issue is not... It may be unfair to target the one guy who's actually a really good artist.

00:57:18.000 Drawing pictures isn't so bad.

00:57:18.000 You know what?

00:57:20.000 It can be a useful way for a person to spend their time.

00:57:23.000 He went on to clarify that he didn't like working for a corporation and being part of the cog in the machine thing.

00:57:27.000 I get that.

00:57:28.000 Yeah.

00:57:29.000 I was going to say, I find it remarkable that we're in this, we've developed to a point where Complaining on the internet is more valuable than building a house or fixing someone's plumbing.

00:57:41.000 No, not necessarily.

00:57:42.000 It absolutely is.

00:57:43.000 Because you can't have the same number of people doing it.

00:57:45.000 Like, a small minority of people are able to become very successful doing something like this.

00:57:49.000 But if it was equally as valuable, like, we would have just as many people in both trades making money.

00:57:53.000 But, like, most people who try to make money complaining on the internet totally fail.

00:57:56.000 Whereas, I think, if you go to trade school, you are pretty likely to make an income.

00:58:01.000 It's a fair point.

00:58:02.000 I just think, you know, Ian, you made a good point.

00:58:05.000 People should feel good about doing trades.

00:58:08.000 And I just think when we're kids, or at least when I was, the millennial generation, we're told to be the greatest of all time.

00:58:16.000 We're told to be rock stars and race car drivers and astronauts.

00:58:21.000 Yeah, we have denigrated work so much.

00:58:24.000 There was this idea, and almost everyone was told this growing up, not me personally, but so many people I know had their parents tell them things like, you know, if you don't study hard and get that degree, you're going to end up in manual labor, or as a sanitary worker, or something like that.

00:58:40.000 For some people, that's what they want to do, and thank goodness, because that's an extremely valuable contribution.

00:58:46.000 Yeah, I should be very clear about Oliphant.

00:58:48.000 I've never talked to Tim Oliphant before, and he specified that he got offered his boss's job at the home improvement, and he didn't want to climb the ladder.

00:58:56.000 And I understand being part of a corporation, and I get it, but what made me sad was just the lack of desire, or just the sociological lack of desire to fix houses and more that people want to paint pictures.

00:59:07.000 That's my personal experience, right?

00:59:09.000 I was a big law.

00:59:11.000 You might say, well, that's a really prestigious professional job, and I just looked around and realized some of the cases I was working on, okay, this might not be literally working with my hands or something, but I am a cog in a litigation machine.

00:59:22.000 I am representing a trust created out of a bankruptcy of a company that is suing 64 of these small issuers out of some mortgage-backed securities, and we're Constructing these briefs in order to extract whatever we can out of these small little issuers to the benefit of this bankruptcy trust which you can literally go and buy shares in and the only thing, you know, the only thing that this trust owns is the rights to the proceeds of the litigation.

00:59:49.000 You'll always work for someone.

00:59:51.000 Yeah.

00:59:51.000 There's no difference between being the employee of a company and running your company.

00:59:57.000 Now obviously there are certain differences.

00:59:59.000 What I mean to say is I have to negotiate with people I work with all day, every day.

01:00:03.000 We've got a bunch of people that are involved in how this company works, from the infrastructure end of things, to the ad sales end of things, and there are disagreements, and there are deal terminations.

01:00:15.000 Now, if you have a simple agreement with another person, I'll do this work for you in exchange for this rate, that's the exact same thing we do, that I do every day as someone who owns the company.

01:00:24.000 I think people need to get out of the mindset of, I'm a cog in a machine working for someone.

01:00:30.000 No.

01:00:31.000 You provide a service.

01:00:33.000 You negotiate with company.

01:00:34.000 If company is not providing you what you need, you leave and negotiate with someone else.

01:00:39.000 When I worked for Vice, people were shocked that I quit when I quit.

01:00:43.000 And they were like, why would you leave?

01:00:44.000 Vice is the best.

01:00:45.000 Oh, they're the greatest.

01:00:46.000 And I was like, Vice works for me and I'll work for them.

01:00:49.000 When they stopped providing me with what I needed, I fired them.

01:00:53.000 That's the mentality I had.

01:00:54.000 I went in there, I said, guys, I want this, this, and this.

01:00:56.000 You got it?

01:00:57.000 Okay.

01:00:58.000 I'm gonna do my thing.

01:00:59.000 I will do my thing here.

01:01:00.000 You like that?

01:01:01.000 You gotta give me these things for it.

01:01:01.000 Okay, great.

01:01:03.000 I didn't just go in and say, I need a paycheck.

01:01:04.000 I said, I want these three things delivered to me in exchange for what you're gonna get.

01:01:08.000 And I worked for them as an employee, and then once they stopped delivering or didn't provide, I just said, I think of it as, as an employee, you're working for the corporation, so is the owner of the corporation.

01:01:19.000 You're both working for the betterment of the corporation, and the owner primarily is working for the people that are buying his goods and services, or her goods and services.

01:01:27.000 The problem is when employees don't have incentive to, they don't gain more if the company gains more, and the owner gains more.

01:01:33.000 So, that I understand.

01:01:36.000 Feeling like a cog because you're not getting an incentive reward.

01:01:38.000 Some work is just more intellectually stimulating than other work, and interesting intrinsically.

01:01:42.000 Like, I don't know.

01:01:43.000 I can see how a guy would want to be an artist and would get more value and excitement out of doing art and seeing it spread around the world than they would out of... I think it's a mix of cultural and human nature.

01:01:59.000 Humans want social acceptance.

01:02:01.000 We want other people to praise us and say we're doing good things.

01:02:04.000 It works really well on a small tribal scale.

01:02:07.000 When you are in a village of 50 people and you do something, you come back with a huge boar and everyone's clapping and cheering because they're happy because they're going to eat and you did this great thing.

01:02:15.000 It feels really good.

01:02:17.000 It's how grooming works online and in these schools.

01:02:20.000 They keep trying to shower you with love and make you feel good because humans crave social acceptance because we are social creatures.

01:02:26.000 So what ends up happening is, over time, you will get more praise for writing a good song than you will, you know, saving someone from a burning building.

01:02:35.000 Depending on the scale of the burning building, I suppose, like, if you're a guy who's, like, in a plane and you crash into the Hudson River or whatever, you'll be a hero and they'll put you in magazines.

01:02:42.000 Sully! 0.99

01:02:43.000 But how many firefighters are, you know, walking the red carpet?

01:02:47.000 How many police officers?

01:02:48.000 I just watched this crazy viral video of a cop walks right up to arrest a guy, and the guy just unloads on him.

01:02:55.000 And then, like, it's brutal footage and stuff.

01:02:57.000 How often do we have... No!

01:02:59.000 Cops are demonized to an insane degree!

01:03:03.000 Like, I certainly have my complaints about authoritarianism and what the police department can mean in terms of certain circumstances, but we demonize the people who are working the day-to-day jobs to make the system run to save lives.

01:03:16.000 You'll get some 20-year-old who will spend 15 minutes writing a song, and I literally mean 15 minutes, They'll be like, okay, we got the beat, we got the hook, we

01:03:26.000 got the chorus, send it over to a company who then says we're going to layer it, get it done.

01:03:30.000 And then they're like, put it on TV for us. And all of a sudden everyone's screaming and crying and clapping and

01:03:35.000 You are the greatest!

01:03:35.000 cheering.

01:03:37.000 Why would someone strive to be a firefighter?

01:03:40.000 There was a poll.

01:03:41.000 They asked young people what they wanted to be when they grew up. And you know what they all said in America?

01:03:45.000 Influencers.

01:03:46.000 And you know what they all said in China?

01:03:48.000 Astronauts.

01:03:49.000 Yep.

01:03:50.000 So we have a cultural problem where our culture praises influencer because it's simple.

01:03:58.000 Virality is a machine in which we get people addicted and it feels good to get those numbers, to see that number going up, to see those views.

01:04:05.000 YouTubers have long talked about how when their viewership goes down, they get depressed.

01:04:09.000 I can always tell you, whenever you see these YouTuber burnouts, where they're like, I just can't keep doing this anymore, look at their view count.

01:04:18.000 It almost always is preceded by their viewers, like the last five videos they made were lower than normal, and then all of a sudden they have a breakdown.

01:04:27.000 Because it feels like you're losing and everybody hates you, and it's being ripped apart, ripped away from you.

01:04:31.000 Meanwhile in China, they're like, I really want to be an astronaut.

01:04:34.000 We need to bring that back.

01:04:36.000 Well, and we, in some ways, we become more like the things that we love, and our culture has lost sight of what's really important, unfortunately.

01:04:44.000 Well, maybe, and now some kudos to Tim Oliphant.

01:04:47.000 Not only are you one of the best artists I've ever seen, Tim, you're inspiring people to become astronauts, man.

01:04:53.000 This art will do that.

01:04:55.000 Yeah, no, I mean, look, art has utility.

01:04:56.000 And this is coming from a guy who makes cartoons, which is, you know, by no means high art.

01:05:00.000 And I'm very blessed.

01:05:01.000 I'm very fortunate to be able to do what I do.

01:05:04.000 Everyone who's on my crew who helps me is absolutely fantastic and unbelievably talented.

01:05:10.000 But One of the biggest compliments that I receive from people is from folks who are just working regular nine to fives, you know, important jobs, construction workers, plumbers, et cetera, who will say things like, Hey man, your cartoons brighten my day.

01:05:23.000 I think that's awesome.

01:05:24.000 And I think art can serve that purpose.

01:05:26.000 But very oftentimes what people want to do is make it completely about themselves.

01:05:30.000 So it's not about, I want to entertain an audience.

01:05:33.000 It's about like, I want to get the praise.

01:05:36.000 I want to be the cool person.

01:05:37.000 I want to be worshipped, basically.

01:05:39.000 And I think that temptation sets in with anyone anytime they're in front of any kind of audience.

01:05:44.000 But what people have to keep sight of is you're producing for other people.

01:05:47.000 And that's true in any industry.

01:05:48.000 It doesn't matter what you do.

01:05:50.000 And so part of the reason I think our culture doesn't take pride in its work is because we view it as something which should just be about ourselves.

01:05:57.000 And whether you become a literal rock star musician, Or whether you're building houses, if you view what you're doing as just being about you and not for other people, you're gonna be miserable.

01:06:07.000 Well, I'll simplify it.

01:06:09.000 Or I'll put my view very simply for people.

01:06:13.000 I think most of the time, if you are driven to become famous and successful, and you think, I've had people say this to me, when I was working for Vice and traveling around, they'd say, I really wish I could do what you did.

01:06:26.000 I'd love to travel around the world covering these stories.

01:06:29.000 I know they're not serious.

01:06:30.000 I know what they're really saying is, I want people watching me on the internet.

01:06:34.000 I want millions of views.

01:06:36.000 I want the praise.

01:06:37.000 Because it's really easy to buy a plane ticket to Europe and walk around with a cell phone.

01:06:41.000 In fact, you know, when I went to Spain and covered a lot of the protests, well, I already owned the cell phone, so that didn't cost me anything.

01:06:48.000 The plane ticket was a couple hundred bucks.

01:06:50.000 I crashed, you know, at a hostel for like 70 bucks, you know, it was like 70 bucks for a couple days.

01:06:55.000 And then I walked around filming stuff.

01:06:57.000 You can just do it if you want to do it.

01:06:59.000 So, you know, how do we get started on a show like this?

01:07:02.000 Well, I wanted to do it.

01:07:05.000 When we started doing this show, we were getting, you know, like a thousand people watching.

01:07:09.000 And I wasn't every day going like, come on, get those numbers up, get those... I was just like, I like talking about these things.

01:07:15.000 Something changed in the dynamic of artistry when people gained the ability to control their own distribution channels because Radio basically in television you gained rich artists that never really existed in the past You'd have people that were basically page you'd have they'd have a patron like Leonardo da Vinci or whoever they might have some money But it was usually like a very wealthy landowner Paying them money to work and then they would be their patron.

01:07:38.000 And then now all of a sudden we've got rock star, TV star.

01:07:41.000 Those didn't exist until a hundred years ago.

01:07:43.000 And it's messing with people.

01:07:44.000 They think that it's a rich scheme.

01:07:46.000 Be an actor to get rich, be a musician to get rich.

01:07:48.000 It's not about, it was never about the money.

01:07:50.000 People would play music for dinner at night at a tavern and hope that they got a place to stay.

01:07:54.000 And that was the original, you know.

01:07:55.000 I mean, there were orchestras.

01:07:57.000 There were great works.

01:07:59.000 But it really was like the wealthy being like, we like these things we want.

01:08:03.000 But there were famous musicians.

01:08:04.000 Residuals is a new idea. 0.99

01:08:05.000 You would get paid for the night that you played and that was it.

01:08:09.000 And then they developed recording.

01:08:10.000 And now it's another realm.

01:08:12.000 But there were famous musicians for a long time.

01:08:15.000 Yeah, they would be famous, but they wouldn't always be rich.

01:08:17.000 That was the weird thing, until they could sell copies of their work.

01:08:20.000 Right.

01:08:21.000 Once we had copyable media, all of a sudden albums could be sold and the song could be performed everywhere all at once and everyone would buy it up.

01:08:29.000 Now we have streaming and everyone's losing money.

01:08:31.000 You see the age of, I don't like, it's not actual pirating, har har har, but it's like, you know, money, art distribution, copying and distributing it illegally or unethically.

01:08:31.000 Yeah, and piracy.

01:08:43.000 And it's like, it's almost like we're coming full circle, like we've passed through the age of the rich artist, and now we're going back to like, just be an artist if you want to be an artist.

01:08:50.000 And do it in addition to your other things that you do.

01:08:53.000 You don't have to only just be an artist all the time.

01:08:55.000 And you can, we're actually going back to sort of old school patronage, right?

01:08:58.000 Like, except decentralized.

01:09:00.000 You know, you don't own, I mean, you don't necessarily say that you own the rights to anything, but people will be like members to your show, and right, have to, you know, patronize you that way.

01:09:11.000 I think it's... I mean, and I think that's probably a good thing.

01:09:14.000 I mean, you know, it's not as good for artists in general.

01:09:17.000 They can't, you know, control their medium well enough to sell it effectively, like as a track.

01:09:23.000 It's extremely good because the patron can't dictate what the artist does now.

01:09:26.000 There's so many little patrons that the artist still has autonomy.

01:09:30.000 Yeah.

01:09:31.000 This shows an example of that.

01:09:32.000 I do think we might see a shift into an... We're seeing the attention economy expand, right?

01:09:37.000 So we had the manufacturing economy.

01:09:40.000 People talked about will a service economy work where people are just providing services.

01:09:44.000 We got a manufacturer stuff now We're in the attention economy where people make a living by just getting your attention Now that's scary because people then make crazy content and crazy videos to try and get your attention to make money off of it So we're in the influence space.

01:09:44.000 We got it.

01:09:58.000 I think we're going to move into a creator economy.

01:10:03.000 So influence, I think, can only go so far once everyone has a certain degree of influence.

01:10:08.000 And then I think what we're seeing with this art, what we're seeing with YouTube and TikTok is a creator based economy where instead of manufacturing things, you're going to make art.

01:10:18.000 You're going to make entertainment.

01:10:20.000 You're going to make ideas or something.

01:10:22.000 I think computer code is an example of that.

01:10:24.000 It's a type of art that translates into a functional object.

01:10:28.000 I just wanted to piggyback on what Tim's saying here and ask a question.

01:10:34.000 You sort of mentioned us shifting into a creator economy, but I wonder if our economy is going to... I mean, how long is it going to take for it to recover to the point where that continues to really be pragmatic?

01:10:43.000 Because if we really start to struggle for resources, I don't know how we'd be able to support that.

01:10:48.000 I mean, you could look far ahead into, like, 3D printing food and 3D printing oil and water, like, um... 3D printing oil?

01:10:55.000 Yeah, if you have enough, uh, electricity, you could convert plastic into oil.

01:11:00.000 Um, if you have enough carbon, if you have the materials... I mean, that's... You're talking about fusion.

01:11:02.000 Molecular printing and, yeah, atomic printing and stuff.

01:11:04.000 They've... They've worked on molecular printing for medicine thus far.

01:11:07.000 But I imagine we'll head towards atomic printing.

01:11:09.000 But, I mean, that's... That just comes down to the energy source.

01:11:12.000 Are they gonna let us use fusion, or are they gonna keep acting like it doesn't exist?

01:11:14.000 I don't know.

01:11:16.000 I guess I'm more optimistic now that I think about it.

01:11:19.000 My investments match that, right?

01:11:21.000 I'm betting on the general strength of the American economy.

01:11:25.000 That's how I invest it.

01:11:25.000 That's how I'm betting.

01:11:26.000 I'm not saying a creator-based economy is going to be a bad thing.

01:11:28.000 And so what I mean by that is it will be very similar to an influence economy, but it'll be people making art and then just selling it, and you're not going to need Amazon.

01:11:40.000 You don't need to go to stores anymore.

01:11:42.000 Nobody needs to work at McDonald's.

01:11:43.000 We've got kiosks.

01:11:44.000 All of those jobs are going away, so the service jobs are being automated.

01:11:47.000 People are going to have to find other things that people want to exchange for.

01:11:50.000 And I think it's going to be, someone was going to write a song, they're going to make a piece of art, they're going to create things, and then that's going to be how they sell it, or they post it, or NFT, or something like that.

01:12:00.000 And there will be a way in which people can acquire resources in a new kind of economy in the future.

01:12:05.000 Art is the new currency, or one of the new currencies.

01:12:08.000 It's like the old seashells they used to find and give to their wives 10,000, 100,000 years ago, you know?

01:12:13.000 And these are the new seashells, these art pieces.

01:12:15.000 Well, let me make everything a little bit more pessimistic for you, Will.

01:12:20.000 Not only are diesel prices at a new record high, but they're actually predicting diesel shortages.

01:12:26.000 So...

01:12:28.000 I'd like to imagine that we're headed towards a future where we have this, you know, one step closer towards utopia.

01:12:33.000 Poverty is being eliminated.

01:12:35.000 But if there's no diesel, nothing's being sent to your house.

01:12:39.000 Your local grocery store is going to have no meat, and you better start figuring out what you would do in a circumstance like this.

01:12:44.000 So what is the reason behind the diesel shortage?

01:12:45.000 I'm actually curious.

01:12:47.000 That's the thesis of the article, but I want to know why.

01:12:50.000 I think it's, they say, to drop in production.

01:12:54.000 Drop in production.

01:12:55.000 Increased demand and a drop in production.

01:12:56.000 They're saying a shortage may be next.

01:12:58.000 And I think Joe Biden said, we don't got enough truckers, man.

01:13:00.000 You know, it's like someone already super chatted us and we'll read in a bit.

01:13:04.000 They said that the cost of fuel is greater than what they make.

01:13:06.000 So they quit.

01:13:08.000 Oh, boy.

01:13:09.000 Right.

01:13:10.000 Well, OK.

01:13:10.000 Scarcity of important commodity.

01:13:12.000 I guess that's not good.

01:13:14.000 But I mean, I'm still you know, there's still a good reason to be generally optimistic about the U.S.

01:13:18.000 economy in terms of like finding alternatives.

01:13:20.000 I mean, the higher price one thing gets, the more people figure out a way to use different resources or come up with a technological innovation.

01:13:27.000 So you're not shorting it, is what you're telling us?

01:13:29.000 No, I'm not going to.

01:13:31.000 Shorting the American economy has been a loser's bet for a hundred years, right?

01:13:36.000 If you're talking about what has been a bad idea, shorting the American economy has been a historically bad idea.

01:13:46.000 Betting on the American economy is the best thing you can do, because in the event the American economy collapses and you live inside of it, who cares? 0.57

01:13:54.000 You're in trouble.

01:13:57.000 I'm all in.

01:13:58.000 This is kind of like the classic answer to people who are buying gold.

01:14:01.000 It's like, well, why are you buying gold?

01:14:03.000 It's like, well, the economy is going to collapse.

01:14:04.000 I'm like, you want to buy bullets and spam.

01:14:07.000 If you're trying to hedge against that, you're not hedging with the right instrument.

01:14:14.000 I always found this funny when people, you know, Alex Jones would always talk about buying gold and stuff, and then I was like, what am I going to do with gold in an apocalypse?

01:14:22.000 Am I going to be walking down the street and some guy's going to have like a sandwich and I'll be like, I'll give you gold for it, and he'll be like, I don't want to carry that, it's heavy.

01:14:26.000 You can make batteries with it.

01:14:27.000 Can you make a grill?

01:14:28.000 Sure, sure, you're going to make a battery.

01:14:30.000 There's going to be a guy and he's going to have a wild boar and you're going to say, I have a raw piece of gold you can make a battery with.

01:14:36.000 He's going to go, that's a good point.

01:14:38.000 I will give you, no.

01:14:39.000 It's the Baghdad battery I was talking about.

01:14:41.000 Have you ever seen this?

01:14:41.000 If you were walking down the street in the apocalypse and a guy on the left has a bottle of water and the guy on the right has food, or I should, I believe you better.

01:14:50.000 If you're walking down the street and there's a guy with a, you know, a big sandwich and you have gold and the guy next to you has a bottle of water, who do you think's getting a piece of that sandwich?

01:14:59.000 Yeah.

01:14:59.000 Yeah, once basic needs are met, it comes down to the metals, like copper.

01:15:02.000 Copper because you make bronze with it to make weapons, stabby weapons, so that you can take the food.

01:15:06.000 The person with the water bottle is going to walk up to the guy with the sandwich and say, I'll give you some water for some of your sandwich, and he'll be like, deal.

01:15:10.000 And you'll walk up, I got gold, and he'll be like, I can't eat that.

01:15:13.000 And the other guy's gonna be like, I got this knife!

01:15:15.000 And you're like, ahhh!

01:15:16.000 So that's where the medal was for.

01:15:17.000 It was weapons, basically.

01:15:19.000 And generally, I think, you know, you don't need to hedge that much against general apocalypse.

01:15:22.000 One, it's extraordinarily unlikely.

01:15:24.000 And two, you know, the idea that you would find the correct hedge is low.

01:15:28.000 Well, no, no, no, it is.

01:15:29.000 Hedging for the apocalypse is moving out to the middle of nowhere, getting chickens, getting some emergency food.

01:15:34.000 Yeah, that's what you guys are doing, actually.

01:15:36.000 Yeah, you know what?

01:15:37.000 You're not invited now.

01:15:38.000 After all this.

01:15:38.000 What?

01:15:39.000 We already let him in, dude. 0.70

01:15:40.000 He's like a vampire.

01:15:41.000 No, you know what, Seamus?

01:15:42.000 You're not invited. 0.99

01:15:42.000 That's absolutely ridiculous. 0.99

01:15:43.000 No, I'll build my own convent. 0.99

01:15:46.000 That's fine.

01:15:48.000 You think we need a cart, too?

01:15:49.000 We're gonna start ship guests, bro.

01:15:50.000 I'm gonna run Shimkin City. 0.71

01:15:51.000 We don't ship guests.

01:15:52.000 I'm going to have my own setup.

01:15:54.000 You're going to be begging to come in.

01:15:56.000 We don't need a cartoonist.

01:15:57.000 We need a lawyer. 0.78

01:15:58.000 You're saying that now.

01:16:00.000 I mean, to be honest, though, like a lawyer would probably handle negotiations between other tribes better than, like, it'd be a pretty good job.

01:16:07.000 Like figuring out new dispute resolution mechanisms that aren't war.

01:16:11.000 They won't be interested, man.

01:16:13.000 I think what's going to happen is you'll go around to other people's compounds and be like, actually, we have copywritten that method of collecting food.

01:16:20.000 You owe us 10%. 0.87

01:16:21.000 It would actually be a funny bit where it's like, we choose the lawyer over the animator in the apocalypse, and then the lawyer is like, I've negotiated this really great treaty that will benefit all of us, and they're like, kill him!

01:16:30.000 And then the animator walks up and is like, I drew a picture of you and your mom together, and he's like, Mommy!

01:16:35.000 What we're missing is the synergy, because if Will brings up the boring law, Seamus can animate it and make it fun for people to understand.

01:16:42.000 There you go.

01:16:43.000 Insult their intelligence at the same time.

01:16:45.000 Exactly.

01:16:45.000 I got some good news.

01:16:47.000 I looked up how to make your own biodiesel.

01:16:49.000 I don't think it's that complicated.

01:16:51.000 There is actually one good financial bet.

01:16:53.000 Bet on the American economy.

01:16:54.000 Do you think Europe's better than us?

01:16:56.000 They're not.

01:16:57.000 They have worse rule of law. 0.81

01:16:59.000 They're way more socialist.

01:17:00.000 Do you think China's going to be a smarter bet? 1.00

01:17:03.000 Possibly, but China's not nearly as innovative as we are as a general matter.

01:17:07.000 Yeah, but they are willing to enslave people.

01:17:10.000 Right.

01:17:10.000 But then that's also like an independent problem in terms of stability.

01:17:13.000 It's a good reason not to invest in China.

01:17:15.000 It's an independent problem on an ethical, both on a practical and an ethical level, right?

01:17:18.000 Ethically, that's wrong.

01:17:20.000 But practically also, that's a recipe for instability.

01:17:24.000 What's their EKG score?

01:17:25.000 What is that?

01:17:26.000 ESG.

01:17:26.000 What's China's ESG score?

01:17:27.000 Rule of law is worse in China. 0.95

01:17:29.000 No, China's going to have a 97 or something.

01:17:31.000 America's still the best place in the world to do business.

01:17:33.000 It still has the most innovation, still has the most development.

01:17:37.000 Maybe red states.

01:17:38.000 It's like, you know, the problems we're dealing with are almost like we just, we're worried that government is going to, you know, outrate, essentially be so bad that it overwhelms the benefits that innovation and our general economy will bring.

01:17:50.000 And they're making it closer than we want, but I would still, I'd still bet on the economy.

01:17:54.000 I'll tell you this, New Jersey, these blue states are really destroying themselves.

01:17:59.000 Yeah.

01:17:59.000 No, for real.

01:18:00.000 So when we were headquartered in New Jersey, I was reading about opportunity expansion, and they said they had a millennial brain drain.

01:18:08.000 Millennials, as soon as... I shouldn't even say millennial.

01:18:13.000 It's young people in general.

01:18:14.000 As soon as they become adults, they get out.

01:18:17.000 There is zero opportunity, and the reason for it is they're anti-business.

01:18:21.000 New Jersey is very, very anti-business.

01:18:23.000 Period.

01:18:24.000 So when I was looking at expanding in New York, I'm like, look, you know, there's an opportunity here.

01:18:28.000 You got New York up here.

01:18:29.000 You got Philly here.

01:18:30.000 You got, you know, Pennsylvania right across the street.

01:18:32.000 And then I was like, wow, those are the laws and those are the taxes.

01:18:36.000 Did you ever investigate why you think that is?

01:18:36.000 Let's leave.

01:18:39.000 It's because I think people on the left vote based on their feelings and not based on what makes sense.

01:18:48.000 And so they end up saying things like, hey, we need more tax money to pay for schools.

01:18:53.000 Because more schools and more money in schools means kids will be better off.

01:18:57.000 So we need to raise the taxes to get more tax money.

01:19:01.000 And then what ends up happening when you raise taxes is tax revenue goes down.

01:19:04.000 And businesses flee.

01:19:05.000 And then all of a sudden you end up with poverty and corruption and broken cities.

01:19:09.000 And they're like, we don't understand.

01:19:10.000 We taxed the rich.

01:19:11.000 And it's like, and the rich left.

01:19:12.000 What do you think's going to happen?

01:19:13.000 I mean, I think competition between jurisdictions is different now, right?

01:19:17.000 If you think about who is New Jersey competing with?

01:19:19.000 Well, they're competing with the state of New York and the state of Pennsylvania, basically.

01:19:23.000 And those states are not really super business friendly either, in their own right, so they probably didn't think like, oh, you know, we can just be a little better than those two states and not lose business across the rivers.

01:19:34.000 New Jersey should be one of the best states for business and wealthiest states in the country.

01:19:40.000 It's in a perfect position for it.

01:19:41.000 Because it's got, you've got New York right there, you've got Pennsylvania right there.

01:19:47.000 So you have a real opportunity for the people of Philly and South Jersey to be like, we sell our product in Philly, but we manufacture and run our business in Jersey because they're better for us.

01:19:47.000 Right?

01:19:57.000 You've got a real opportunity for the same thing they said in New York.

01:20:00.000 We operate out of North Jersey, and then we do business in New York because the customers are there, but the laws are better in New Jersey.

01:20:06.000 They did the opposite.

01:20:07.000 It's the opposite of New Jersey.

01:20:09.000 The laws are worse.

01:20:11.000 So nobody wants to be there at all.

01:20:12.000 Do you think they collude, the governments, like the New York governments, like don't make your state too much more likeable, too much better than ours?

01:20:18.000 Oh sure they do.

01:20:19.000 Yeah, those state governments work with each other, right?

01:20:21.000 Like, especially if they're the same party, like they don't really want to be screwing each other over that much.

01:20:26.000 And, you know, they worked, especially think about things like COVID regulations.

01:20:29.000 Like, they were all working together.

01:20:30.000 All those, like, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey were, like, working together to have a uniform regulation so they weren't losing people.

01:20:37.000 And honestly, that's one of the reasons that it was more robust there than it was in, like, the DMV, right?

01:20:41.000 The District of Columbia tried to impose some, like, really restrictive mandates.

01:20:45.000 And, like, but they weren't in place in Virginia.

01:20:46.000 And they weren't in place in Maryland.

01:20:48.000 So quickly, D.C.

01:20:49.000 found out how to get rid of them because otherwise they would just, their restaurants were empty.

01:20:52.000 I wonder why Maryland?

01:20:54.000 You know, Maryland is a really great place.

01:20:56.000 You've got Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and D.C., and Delaware.

01:21:00.000 All of these different states, you could be like, come, bring your business here.

01:21:03.000 Instead, they're like, get out.

01:21:04.000 Yeah, Maryland's really weird.

01:21:05.000 It is.

01:21:06.000 It's a very strange case.

01:21:07.000 It's gotta be Delaware.

01:21:08.000 Delaware must have everybody on their boot on everyone's throat.

01:21:12.000 It's the state where there's no corporate income tax, Delaware.

01:21:16.000 And every company is headquartered in Delaware, like a P.O.

01:21:18.000 box.

01:21:19.000 It's like one old lady has 17,000.

01:21:21.000 It's Delaware corporate law, man.

01:21:23.000 They got way out ahead of it.

01:21:24.000 They decided to make themselves very favorable to business.

01:21:26.000 That's exactly what they did.

01:21:27.000 They were nearby.

01:21:28.000 They were on the Acela.

01:21:29.000 Delaware is barely a state.

01:21:32.000 It's basically they make their money off of their corporate law.

01:21:36.000 That's their industry, in effect.

01:21:38.000 That's what they produce.

01:21:39.000 They produce good, reliable, predictable corporate law and a favorable environment to be incorporated.

01:21:45.000 I just want to ask people, did any of you actually ever look at Delaware?

01:21:49.000 It's not real!

01:21:50.000 Yeah, it's not a real place.

01:21:52.000 They don't even have access to half of the peninsula they're on.

01:21:54.000 It's like they don't even have access to more than...

01:21:58.000 They don't even have access to half of the peninsula they're on.

01:22:00.000 It's like 12 acres.

01:22:01.000 It's like, we're a peninsula, but only like a small part of it.

01:22:04.000 What is the other part of that peninsula?

01:22:05.000 It's Delmarva.

01:22:05.000 What state is it?

01:22:07.000 Yeah, so both Maryland and Virginia have a chunk of that peninsula.

01:22:09.000 So Maryland is most of it, right?

01:22:11.000 But then that bottom little tail is Virginia. 1.00

01:22:13.000 They call it the Delmarva Peninsula.

01:22:16.000 And so Delaware has this chunk.

01:22:18.000 That's it.

01:22:18.000 That's all they have.

01:22:20.000 They couldn't even get the peninsula they're on.

01:22:22.000 There's like one city.

01:22:24.000 You don't go easy on them, Tim.

01:22:25.000 Good crab, though.

01:22:25.000 A lot of crab.

01:22:27.000 Yeah, great seafood.

01:22:28.000 It's just seafront property.

01:22:29.000 Just a rich corporate person's dream, I guess.

01:22:33.000 Depends on where you go.

01:22:35.000 Rehoboth is very college party town.

01:22:37.000 Wilmington's pretty cool.

01:22:41.000 Really great seafood.

01:22:43.000 I'm pretty sure they're just funded by giving good, favorable laws to corporations.

01:22:49.000 And everybody's always like, what is it, Delaware and Nevada or something?

01:22:57.000 Some states are finally starting to try and compete for incorporation rules.

01:23:02.000 It's gotten to the point where even if other states have a little bit better of a financial deal for incorporating in their state, because Delaware corporate law is so well developed, that's where bigger companies want to be incorporated because that's where they can get sued and that's where they have the big intra-business disputes.

01:23:18.000 And so everybody's just comfortable.

01:23:19.000 There's so many more decisions.

01:23:21.000 Their law is just better developed, and so that's where corporations are. 0.94

01:23:24.000 Do you know when it began that they started making it all about the corporation in Delaware?

01:23:28.000 I don't remember exactly when it began, but I know it's... Actually, I don't know when that began, but I'm sure there's books written on it.

01:23:36.000 It is really sort of an interesting thing that a state like Delaware, which otherwise would not have some big thriving business industry, just really figured out and decided, This is what American capitalism needs.

01:23:48.000 A state that really focuses on giving corporations what they want in terms of both, like, a friendly place to incorporate and predictable law.

01:23:57.000 And the people who run, I mean, the lawyers they get who end up being on, like, the Delaware Supreme Court are, like, top-tier business attorneys.

01:24:03.000 Like, they're super, super serious about it.

01:24:06.000 Um, and, and very, very, you know, other places you might get clowns and like

01:24:10.000 family members and whatever you, the Delaware Supreme court is notorious

01:24:12.000 for having like brilliant judges.

01:24:14.000 Everybody's moving to Texas.

01:24:15.000 And I'm just like, that's such a bad idea.

01:24:17.000 How come?

01:24:18.000 So when, when big moderate types, maybe the anti-woke liberal type moves from

01:24:25.000 California or Arizona or New York to Texas, they bring industry, which is

01:24:31.000 mostly full of these progressive left-lib cultists who then come down to work there.

01:24:37.000 So the obvious thing is like Joe Rogan, for instance.

01:24:40.000 He's a lefty dude.

01:24:42.000 But we all like him.

01:24:43.000 He has pro-free speech, and he's pushed back, and he's done really great in fighting against a lot of the exes of the wokeness and the left.

01:24:50.000 But when he moves to Texas, he brings industry with him and large sums of money, which they're gonna hire more Hollywood producers and L.A.

01:24:59.000 types, and they're gonna all flock along with him.

01:25:01.000 Elon Musk is an even better example.

01:25:04.000 All of the Tesla employees from California, he's going to have to either rehire or relocate

01:25:09.000 a ton of those California progressives into Texas.

01:25:14.000 So when I see all that happening, and Austin's already particularly woke, and everyone's

01:25:18.000 like, Austin's the place to be.

01:25:19.000 I'm like, I got to admit, Austin's really cool, but I would not set up business there.

01:25:24.000 You're basically saying, I'm going to set up my business there.

01:25:26.000 I'm going to move there.

01:25:28.000 I'm going to invest in this city.

01:25:29.000 And in five years, there's a good chance I will just be surrounded by a bunch of woke people who have voted for this stuff because they all followed.

01:25:36.000 I look at West Virginia and I'm like, West Virginia is the second most Trump supporting state in the country.

01:25:41.000 It is it is MAGA country and nobody wants to be there. 0.82

01:25:46.000 There's a great so I'll go there and it'll stay MAGA country and then I will hire people who share the values that we have liberty personal responsibility and will create opportunity and bring wealth to those who already agree.

01:25:58.000 The thing about West Virginia for me was it's like here's this big open place.

01:26:03.000 That's right.

01:26:04.000 It's got good laws.

01:26:05.000 It's got constitutional carry.

01:26:06.000 It's got good building codes.

01:26:07.000 It's got good business laws.

01:26:09.000 It's got great incentives for new businesses.

01:26:12.000 And nobody's going to follow.

01:26:14.000 So that means when we start hiring people, when we start contracting, that's people of West Virginia who share values of personal responsibility who are going to be receiving that wealth, not some woke person who moved to Austin to take that job.

01:26:25.000 Mm-hmm.

01:26:26.000 That's that's the opportunity here go to Florida Florida's great, but I'm like We're gonna we're gonna we're gonna set up and expand the economy in a place where people aren't flocking to it And it already has the values.

01:26:35.000 I like yeah, there's like a fake I get the the image of when I think of West Virginia I think like walking through hills, which is like hurts.

01:26:42.000 It's exhausting and then I picture dude in a red hat with a gun and I'm like well That's what I think about.

01:26:48.000 I know it's not, but that's like the liberal brainwashing.

01:26:52.000 People just have this idea.

01:26:53.000 Man, I took a walk the other day.

01:26:55.000 I'm close to West Virginia right now.

01:26:56.000 And I went up on a hill.

01:26:57.000 Dude, when you look around from the top of a hill, when you're out in the middle of the,

01:27:01.000 in the most beautiful areas in the world, I would imagine it's just so stunning.

01:27:06.000 And the air is so clean.

01:27:07.000 And then the bear comes up.

01:27:08.000 And it heals you.

01:27:09.000 And be sure you have bear spray, I guess.

01:27:10.000 But it was on a road, so I didn't feel too.

01:27:12.000 Just even the drive up here was just gorgeous today.

01:27:14.000 Driving through rural Virginia.

01:27:17.000 Then the bear goes up to Ian and says, it is time to prove yourself as a man. 1.00

01:27:21.000 Punch it in the face and put my fingers down its throat. 1.00

01:27:24.000 Choke it. 1.00

01:27:25.000 Heavy metal plays.

01:27:26.000 I thought about bears.

01:27:26.000 What do you do when a bear comes these days?

01:27:28.000 Cause that's like, what if the real threat is wild animals and I guess humans are also animals, but like, you just don't let them take your picnic basket.

01:27:35.000 Yeah, that's right.

01:27:36.000 You have to stand firm.

01:27:37.000 You gotta be, not leave food out.

01:27:39.000 It's like another lifestyle.

01:27:40.000 If you run, they won't respect you.

01:27:42.000 Thinking about bears and stuff, like Yogi Bear was kind of a crazy show.

01:27:45.000 Yeah, he was still on picnic baskets with Boo Boo.

01:27:47.000 But that's all he was doing.

01:27:48.000 He was like a nuisance, and in the reality, if you chased after a bear because he stole your picnic basket, he'd probably just maul you or something. 0.54

01:27:56.000 He'd murder you, yeah.

01:27:56.000 I'd let the picnic basket go at that point.

01:27:58.000 Depends on the bear.

01:27:59.000 I guess, what do they say?

01:28:00.000 For grizzlies, you gotta curl up and cover your neck, but for black bears, you gotta fight.

01:28:04.000 Well, you also have to understand that Yogi is smarter than the average bear.

01:28:08.000 And so I would assume that means he has like some understanding of maybe firearms, the fact that humans can shoot him.

01:28:14.000 But either way, it's preventing him from getting violent with people.

01:28:17.000 We haven't seen it.

01:28:18.000 Yogi?

01:28:19.000 Yeah, we haven't seen Yogi in any of the cartoons.

01:28:20.000 Can you imagine?

01:28:21.000 Because a bear can really just destroy somebody.

01:28:24.000 Dude, I've never seen one in person.

01:28:25.000 If Yogi wanted to, Ranger Rick would like be obliviated.

01:28:28.000 It would just...

01:28:29.000 I saw Grizzly Man.

01:28:30.000 I highly recommend people look into that.

01:28:32.000 You ever see Old Bear Armor?

01:28:33.000 Yeah, look at this!

01:28:34.000 It's like a Russian... Nightmare stuff. 1.00

01:28:37.000 Is this Russian or something? 1.00

01:28:38.000 It's crazy.

01:28:39.000 Probably.

01:28:40.000 I can't imagine that they really wore something like that.

01:28:42.000 Yeah, man.

01:28:43.000 When you got no choice.

01:28:46.000 Yeah, there's a thing called the short-nosed bear.

01:28:48.000 It's extinct now.

01:28:51.000 I feel like you would still get destroyed if a bear smacked you.

01:28:54.000 Like, it would hurt the bear, right?

01:28:55.000 But they're strong.

01:28:56.000 One of those things smacks you.

01:28:58.000 Pretty sure a grizzly can hit a car door and smack it clean off the car. 1.00

01:29:03.000 And like, you need really large caliber rounds to even hurt a bear.

01:29:08.000 Geez. Yeah, like there was a there was a grizzly they found I can't remember where I was reading

01:29:13.000 the story and they finally killed it and it was riddled with like 45 nine millimeter just because

01:29:20.000 from people shooting at it and the bullets just like going in and doing nothing the grizzly is

01:29:24.000 like you cannot harm me. 0.83

01:29:27.000 Feeble human weapons!

01:29:28.000 It's terrifying.

01:29:30.000 Why does the bear sound like Sean Connery?

01:29:32.000 I don't know, because bears are masculine.

01:29:38.000 Well, I will take bears over a bunch of hungry people. 0.57

01:29:42.000 Honestly.

01:29:43.000 At this point in my life.

01:29:45.000 I'd rather not face a bear.

01:29:47.000 So I'm not gonna say that, what I was gonna say, which is I'd rather face a bear then.

01:29:50.000 I'd rather not face a bear.

01:29:53.000 That's life.

01:29:53.000 There was a story recently of a dude who just fought a bear.

01:29:56.000 He fought a bear off with his bear hands.

01:29:59.000 Something happened, I can't remember, and there was like a bear came and he had to fight it for his family and then he won.

01:30:03.000 Dude's built different.

01:30:06.000 Bears are crazy, man.

01:30:07.000 Yeah, check out Grizzly Man. 0.62

01:30:08.000 And have you guys seen Grizzly Man?

01:30:11.000 No.

01:30:11.000 It's a documentary.

01:30:12.000 This guy went into the woods.

01:30:13.000 He was obsessed with bears.

01:30:14.000 And they thought, well, I think there's something wrong with this guy.

01:30:16.000 But he went with his girlfriend and lived with the bears, you know?

01:30:18.000 And then they said, OK, you can live with bears, I guess.

01:30:20.000 Don't do it, but I guess.

01:30:22.000 But not when they're hungry.

01:30:23.000 Not when they're getting just out of hibernation.

01:30:25.000 But he was like, no, they're my friends.

01:30:27.000 And they ate him.

01:30:28.000 It's a Werner Herzog movie, dude.

01:30:30.000 And you get the audio of him screaming.

01:30:32.000 Why would he think that?

01:30:35.000 I don't know.

01:30:36.000 It's like he had a death wish.

01:30:38.000 You hear his girlfriend screaming, fight back, fight back on the audio and it's like he was just, I don't know, there's no video of it.

01:30:44.000 The lens cap was on when it got recorded.

01:30:45.000 And then what happened to his wife?

01:30:48.000 She was then killed by the bear as well.

01:30:50.000 She didn't run? 0.96

01:30:50.000 No, I don't know. 0.96

01:30:52.000 But I mean, I guess they were out in the middle of the woods.

01:30:53.000 There's really nowhere to run to.

01:30:54.000 I don't, to be honest, I don't know.

01:30:56.000 Maybe they had both that death wish.

01:30:57.000 It's a weird thing to be doing, hanging out with bears when they're hungry.

01:31:00.000 I'm just imagining these two hippies being like, yo, like the bears are my friends, man.

01:31:04.000 That's what it was.

01:31:05.000 The bear's just mauling the guy like, yo, why are you mauling Joey?

01:31:08.000 What are you doing?

01:31:09.000 He's like, whoa, stop!

01:31:10.000 No, why are you biting me now?

01:31:12.000 Oh, I'm being eaten by a bear.

01:31:13.000 Rather, I'd try to be too insensitive because I think he has family and stuff, but like he is screaming like, stop, ow, ow, stop.

01:31:19.000 You can hear it.

01:31:20.000 It's so weird.

01:31:21.000 As he's being torn open.

01:31:22.000 It's horrific.

01:31:23.000 The bear is just like, for lunch.

01:31:25.000 Alright, let's go to Super Chats.

01:31:27.000 My friends, if you haven't already, smash that like button.

01:31:29.000 Subscribe to this channel.

01:31:30.000 Share the show with your friends.

01:31:31.000 And, uh, did I say smash that like button?

01:31:33.000 Oh, head over to TimCast.com.

01:31:35.000 We're gonna have that members-only show coming up at 11pm.

01:31:38.000 Will be fun, spicy, and not-so-family-friendly.

01:31:41.000 Let's read what we got here.

01:31:43.000 All right.

01:31:44.000 Matthew Reckamp says, Tim, if you haven't watched 2,000 Mules yet, then what about a watch-along in the members-only section, Two Birds, One Stone?

01:31:52.000 That's a really good idea.

01:31:54.000 No, for real.

01:31:55.000 I'll reach out to Dinesh.

01:31:56.000 Maybe he would want to come, and we could do a thing where we do, like, what was it?

01:32:00.000 Mystery Science Theater 3000?

01:32:02.000 Yeah.

01:32:03.000 Where they're like, they're watching it at the same time.

01:32:05.000 Making fun of So we could do something.

01:32:07.000 I would totally be down to do that.

01:32:09.000 Make a members only thing of like our initial reaction to watching it all.

01:32:13.000 And then we could do that thing where we have everybody sitting around and then like the screen changes showing like TimCast and then we have the thing playing in the middle.

01:32:20.000 Maybe Dinesh would be down for that.

01:32:22.000 That's an interesting idea.

01:32:23.000 Because then you get our initial reaction to it right away.

01:32:27.000 Awesome.

01:32:28.000 That'd be really cool.

01:32:29.000 At the very least, I'll ask for his permission, because I know a lot of people are pirating it, but if he was cool with us doing something like that.

01:32:35.000 Yeah, good promotion.

01:32:35.000 I don't know though, because it's like a members only thing for us to make, like we make money off of it, but it's like his movie, so maybe we could pay him something.

01:32:42.000 Or we could put it up for free on the website, just be one of those.

01:32:46.000 Well, I don't know if he wants us to give away his movie for free.

01:32:50.000 Well, we'll talk to him about it.

01:32:51.000 It's good publicity.

01:32:51.000 To be fair though, our commentary will ruin the movie.

01:32:54.000 It will not be as enjoyable to watch as watching a film by its own.

01:32:59.000 Well, maybe we can work something out with him.

01:33:01.000 Maybe it wouldn't necessarily be a website thing.

01:33:03.000 Maybe it's a special thing that we cross do it.

01:33:07.000 Because I don't want to take money away from his project that he spent money producing.

01:33:10.000 Or make money off of his work.

01:33:12.000 Yeah, that's not fair.

01:33:13.000 But it is a good idea to do a commentary, like watch along.

01:33:18.000 That'd be great.

01:33:20.000 Rude says, have you guys considered making gaming PCs or consoles to compete with Microsoft and the like?

01:33:25.000 That is a very odd question.

01:33:29.000 I've never thought about entering the microprocessing development.

01:33:33.000 That sounds like a very difficult and technical feel industry to just decide to enter.

01:33:39.000 Yeah.

01:33:39.000 Well, I have thought about it.

01:33:41.000 And there's a lot of competitors already in there.

01:33:43.000 I don't know.

01:33:44.000 I mean, it seems like the smarter thing, if you were even thinking about it, would be to license the TimCast brand to an existing company.

01:33:50.000 Why don't we get some Raspberry Pis and then run the new game on it?

01:33:54.000 And just duct tape a bunch of Raspberry Pis together and be like, no, that's really fast.

01:33:58.000 The game we're making can be preloaded onto a small device that people just plug in their TV and have the game.

01:34:03.000 Yeah.

01:34:04.000 That'd be kind of cool.

01:34:05.000 We could do that.

01:34:07.000 Cross promote with like Alienware or whatever.

01:34:09.000 The TimCast Alienware.

01:34:11.000 Yeah, I've been thinking about doing that for the software we're developing with the charity, is get a Raspberry Pi pre-loaded with that.

01:34:17.000 If it was pre-loaded with a game, too, that might be kind of interesting.

01:34:19.000 Although, maybe it's overkill.

01:34:20.000 Alright, JYes says, Ian's head is full of graphene, literally.

01:34:24.000 Okay, well, look.

01:34:25.000 Are you sure?

01:34:27.000 We did integrate Ian's brain with graphene so that the neurons could connect and it would transmit electricity much, much better.

01:34:34.000 But I don't remember that part.

01:34:36.000 Yeah.

01:34:36.000 He forgot.

01:34:37.000 But I guess it's true.

01:34:38.000 He got drunk and forgot!

01:34:40.000 I've had graphene on the brain.

01:34:41.000 We were talking about building computers just now, and I'm like, no, but we could build microprocessors with graphene conductors, and I just didn't want to, you know, drag you through it.

01:34:48.000 Daniel Trinka says, Tim, consider a bookstore on your website where guests can list their books.

01:34:52.000 Maybe a 1% listing fee to you or something.

01:34:54.000 Good for them, good for you.

01:34:55.000 Good idea.

01:34:56.000 That is also a strange idea, but... It's good.

01:34:58.000 I mean, yeah.

01:34:59.000 I like it.

01:34:59.000 It's kind of weird because we just finished the song, Bright Eyes.

01:35:05.000 It's completely done, and we're working on the music video.

01:35:08.000 And we're trying to figure out how do we brand music.

01:35:10.000 And then I just, I was thinking like, we're doing a bunch of crazy stuff this year in terms of production, short film, documentaries, music videos, music production.

01:35:18.000 And then I was just like, is there any other company that does all of this stuff?

01:35:22.000 Like that does too much, you know?

01:35:27.000 Yeah, that's too much.

01:35:28.000 Too much is a problem.

01:35:29.000 Different brands for different things is important.

01:35:32.000 I just mean like, how come nobody does this?

01:35:35.000 You know, like where's Joe Rogan's rap album?

01:35:38.000 That'd be awesome.

01:35:39.000 He'd be great.

01:35:40.000 I don't know.

01:35:40.000 We got to make it, I guess.

01:35:42.000 You know, we're like, what about a video game?

01:35:44.000 Like, I just, you know, Joe is the easy example because he's he's so wealthy and in the cultural space.

01:35:52.000 I just wonder, I shouldn't single him out.

01:35:54.000 There are a lot of ultra wealthy people I know who make way more money than I do.

01:35:57.000 And I just like, why don't they do anything with it?

01:35:59.000 I always ask that.

01:36:01.000 Like Seamus, for instance.

01:36:01.000 Yeah, I make an insane amount of money.

01:36:04.000 YouTube cartoons, dude, those pay the bills.

01:36:07.000 If you want to get insanely wealthy, draw a couple pictures, put them online.

01:36:10.000 But for real, like, any one of these ultra-wealthy people, you know, why aren't they doing more stuff?

01:36:16.000 The honest answer is because they don't have the brain for it.

01:36:18.000 It's not personal.

01:36:19.000 Most people don't have the cognitive ability or desire to make themselves that busy with that many different thought processes.

01:36:26.000 Because it requires glucose to change your mind.

01:36:28.000 Also, once you have that kind of money, you don't need to do anything.

01:36:30.000 Well, and it's like Tim talks about.

01:36:32.000 If you're good at one thing, it doesn't mean you're good at a lot of different things.

01:36:35.000 Like, I feel like Tim did a lot of different talents.

01:36:36.000 And they're also worried about social respectability, so they don't want to do things that are like... ESGs, baby.

01:36:40.000 Maybe this is why I'm accused of being on Adderall.

01:36:43.000 I get all these lefties like, Tim must be on Adderall.

01:36:46.000 It's like, no, I don't even drink, I don't do any of that stuff.

01:36:48.000 But, you know, I don't know.

01:36:51.000 We got music coming out, we got a video game coming out, we've got so much stuff that we're trying to just crank out and expand upon.

01:36:58.000 But you know what I mean to say is, it's like weird and eclectic.

01:37:02.000 Like obviously some people start companies and they make those companies the best and the biggest and the possible thing they could be, but this is a weird company.

01:37:07.000 Like, we have, our flagship product is a culture political podcast, and then we make video games and music.

01:37:15.000 Whatever.

01:37:16.000 Alright, I'm cool with it.

01:37:18.000 If they broke, don't fix it.

01:37:19.000 We're gonna make a video game console in a bookstore next.

01:37:21.000 That's a good idea.

01:37:24.000 The bookstore actually is a good idea.

01:37:26.000 If we made a marketplace and people... It's like a non-Silicon Valley marketplace.

01:37:33.000 Why not?

01:37:34.000 Mike Lindell, make an Amazon.

01:37:37.000 Let people list their products and sell them through a portal.

01:37:40.000 So that people don't have to use Amazon.

01:37:43.000 Alright.

01:37:45.000 Sharon Sweet says, health insurance companies are looking to cover abortion travel expenses for employees.

01:37:50.000 How do you as a business owner feel about having to pay extra for health coverage to cover this?

01:37:55.000 So here's the thing that people don't realize.

01:37:58.000 In some states, and I might be federal, maybe you know this, you can't actually offer benefits until you reach a certain size.

01:38:04.000 So we were like, you know, we here at Timcast are communists.

01:38:07.000 So we're going to, you know, do great benefits.

01:38:09.000 And then we're like, oh, you can't do that.

01:38:11.000 I mean, you have to join up with a PEO.

01:38:13.000 I mean, I was able to do it with just two or three employees, but there's particular services you have to use to get access to it.

01:38:19.000 What's a PEO?

01:38:20.000 I forget.

01:38:20.000 I don't know what exactly the acronym is, but the company's called Trinet, and the way it works is it's like they do this for startups, right?

01:38:29.000 Basically, it's like if you're a startup with only a few employees, but you want to offer competitive benefit packages, then it's like You effectively are all part of this massive company for the purposes of benefits, and they handle your payroll and your benefits.

01:38:41.000 PEO is Professional Employer Organization.

01:38:45.000 So that's a company that handles other companies, just gives them a legal recourse to do bigger company stuff.

01:38:52.000 So let's read some more.

01:38:53.000 It's an interesting question.

01:38:54.000 So, my understanding of this is that Satan exists in... I mean, he's spiritual, right?

01:38:57.000 He doesn't have a corporeal form.

01:38:59.000 forgiven by the sacrifice of Jesus. I'm curious does that mean you believe Satan

01:39:03.000 could be forgiven for his sins? It's an interesting question. So my

01:39:07.000 understanding of this is that Satan exists in, I mean he's spiritual right? He

01:39:13.000 doesn't have a corporeal form and so just by the very nature of how angels

01:39:18.000 exist, the decision they made is permanent so he's fixed in that decision.

01:39:22.000 Like by his nature he will not be sorry for what his decision was ever. All right

01:39:29.000 I can see how that's like, Satan is a function, and that different people's spirit can become part of that function at different times, but that function will remain.

01:39:41.000 All right.

01:39:42.000 Bino says, federal oil regulator worked in Alaska from 14 to 18 in Cook Inlet.

01:39:48.000 As of 18, there was little interest in those leases.

01:39:51.000 Cook Inlet wasn't viewed as lucrative by industry, plus state regulators were overbearing.

01:39:58.000 Interesting.

01:39:58.000 I'm not surprised.

01:40:00.000 I really don't.

01:40:01.000 I think it's weird. 0.99

01:40:02.000 Normally, when it comes to Biden screwing up oil and gas leases, you think, OK, that's just the Biden administration being dumb and environmentalist.

01:40:10.000 But I honestly think that right now, this is probably the one time that if they're actually deciding to cancel an oil and gas lease, there's probably a decent reason for it. 0.56

01:40:19.000 Because they really, really want the oil price to come down.

01:40:22.000 They really do.

01:40:23.000 All right, Samuel Eddie says, Tim's time travel misadventures.

01:40:26.000 Tim goes to the future and sees that it's really cool, so he brings Ian with him for the next trip, but it becomes a dystopia.

01:40:32.000 Involves an older version of Tim who sounds like Alex Jones.

01:40:35.000 Do you understand the implications of what you just said?

01:40:38.000 When a person travels from their time to the future, the future they're in has no influence from them because they removed themselves from the timeline to jump forward.

01:40:48.000 So if I go to the future and everything's really cool, it means that In fact, without me, the future ended up being really cool.

01:40:56.000 If I then go back and take Ian to the future and to Dystopia, that would literally mean Ian made the future cool.

01:41:03.000 Because without his influence in the timeline, the future's a dystopia.

01:41:05.000 I like this movie.

01:41:06.000 Let's definitely do that, man.

01:41:08.000 We did a phone call because we're preparing the music video for the new song we did, and some of the best producers are going to be legit.

01:41:17.000 I was talking to Robbie Starbuck, who's one of the best of the best, because he used to do music videos.

01:41:21.000 And I'm just like, we need to get on the short film train, because I really, really want to do a short film about the legend of Gellert's grave.

01:41:29.000 You've told me about this one before.

01:41:30.000 Yeah, we've talked about it before.

01:41:31.000 Do you guys know the story?

01:41:33.000 Do you have an elevator pitch for it?

01:41:35.000 Short version is, old dude from Wales, back in like the 1100s or whatever, goes out to do his daily deeds and leaves his son and his dog back at the cabin.

01:41:45.000 When he returns from his daily deeds, he sees his house has been ransacked, everything's flipped over, and he sees his son's crib is flipped over and covered in blood.

01:41:53.000 Then he sees his dog, Gellert, walk over, wagging his tail with blood all over his mouth.

01:41:57.000 And so, you know, believing his dog just killed his son, he draws his sword and thrusts it straight into the side of his dog, Gellert, killing it instantly.

01:42:07.000 And with Gellert's dying welt being let out, all of a sudden he hears a baby crying, and he rushes over to the crib that was flipped over.

01:42:15.000 He flips it, and there's his son, perfectly safe, lying next to a wolf who had been killed by his faithful hound.

01:42:23.000 And they say from that day, Prince Llewelyn never smiled again.

01:42:27.000 One of the most brutal stories.

01:42:29.000 He killed a dog who saved his son's life because he didn't even think about it.

01:42:34.000 So I was like, I would love to make a short film about that.

01:42:36.000 It's only a couple minutes long.

01:42:38.000 And it would just be like the most brutal short film ever.

01:42:40.000 You just gave away the ending though, man.

01:42:42.000 But it's an old legend.

01:42:43.000 If we titled it The Legend of Gellert's Grave, people would know exactly what was going to happen.

01:42:46.000 Gellert's Grave 2.

01:42:47.000 Gellert's back.

01:42:49.000 Gellert Pet Cemetery!

01:42:51.000 Do your own twist on it.

01:42:52.000 Yeah, Gellert Part 2.

01:42:54.000 He accidentally buried Gellert at Pet Cemetery and got returns for revenge.

01:42:58.000 With an army of other dog ghosts. 0.81

01:43:00.000 You betrayed me! 0.92

01:43:01.000 Yes.

01:43:02.000 All right, where were we?

01:43:06.000 Rylo says, does Will still support compulsory COVID vaccination?

01:43:10.000 Correct me if he never did.

01:43:12.000 What is his stance on abortion? 0.96

01:43:14.000 Dumb or evil goes as follows if you get repeatedly punched in the face, it doesn't matter why, your duty is to fight. 0.94

01:43:21.000 Okay, no I don't think I was ever for compulsory vaccination. 0.86

01:43:26.000 Um, I was generally, broadly, like, pro-vaccine in the sense that, like, I thought they were a good thing, and it seems like the evidence was that they worked, but I don't think I was pro-mandate.

01:43:36.000 I think I was very consistent on that.

01:43:39.000 Um, so I'd like to find somebody, if you can find a tweet saying different, go for it, but I'm pretty sure I was pro-vaccine anti-mandate from, like, the get-go.

01:43:45.000 All right.

01:43:47.000 What about your thoughts on abortion?

01:43:48.000 As for abortion, I think, like, um, anti-Roe versus Wade, I guess I'm probably, like, I would consider myself fairly moderate.

01:43:56.000 Like, probably first trimester is okay.

01:43:58.000 After that I would ban it.

01:44:00.000 I think viability, anything beyond viability, is psychotic.

01:44:04.000 Like, the baby can live, but you've decided for some reason to not let it.

01:44:08.000 Yeah, no, I have the same vote.

01:44:09.000 I kind of, like, I'm not personally religious, so I just kind of, like, see, you know, I think, I see it as essentially a balance of, like, interests.

01:44:16.000 Like, it is a profound, there's a profound liberty interest at stake, like, the right, and I think that that interest tilts more and more towards the child as, like, and away from the woman as pregnancy goes on, and so I think The thing Seamus gets wrong.

01:44:30.000 No, there's nothing.

01:44:31.000 I'm correct. I'm sorry.

01:44:33.000 The thing you guys get wrong.

01:44:34.000 No, the thing Seamus gets wrong is you you can't be absolutely

01:44:39.000 pro-life because you're ignoring our blood quota to Moloch.

01:44:43.000 No, but like that's you know, people are if people are asking like, you

01:44:48.000 know, there's a reason like I'm anti-Berger's is weighed in.

01:44:50.000 And also I don't have like, you know, I don't expect my view to take

01:44:54.000 hold in conservatism.

01:44:55.000 Right. Like just because like this is what I personally think does not

01:44:58.000 mean I'd I think that I think the left's barbaric and I'd

01:45:01.000 much rather be right.

01:45:03.000 They tried just passing a bill that would have given abortion up to nine months.

01:45:07.000 And what they do is this manipulation where they say, for the health of the mother, it's like if that was the case, you would say, and every measure must be taken to protect the life of the child as well.

01:45:19.000 Like, if a pregnancy must be ended at nine months to save the mother, you're just basically having a delivery of the baby.

01:45:26.000 Right.

01:45:28.000 But they're like, no, you can abort it.

01:45:29.000 Like, well, that's just killing the baby at nine months.

01:45:31.000 It's barbaric.

01:45:32.000 Like, second trimester abortions, late second trimester abortions, they're barbaric.

01:45:36.000 And they should be illegal.

01:45:37.000 Like, that's just, and that's not even getting into the question now.

01:45:40.000 Like, I think it gets, you know, what the arguments I don't like, and I've talked about this before, are sort of the, like, the simple syllogisms of, like, abortion is murder, therefore murder is a life.

01:45:49.000 Because I actually think, like, there's, there's sort of an intrinsic problem of you know, if you really are going to make the argument that

01:45:54.000 abortion is murder, then you must punish. 0.96

01:45:56.000 To me, it's like to be con- that- to go- if you're going to insist on that logical consistency,

01:46:01.000 then you have to insist on the logical consistency of the punishment, which means women are 1.00

01:46:04.000 accessories and need to be punished pretty severely. Yeah. 1.00

01:46:07.000 Like, which I- which I don't think is okay, and so I kind of get to the point that- Yeah, I think- I

01:46:11.000 think- but you- I mean- So if someone kills a pregnant woman, they are charged with double homicide.

01:46:17.000 That's true, not everywhere.

01:46:19.000 But the question is, if someone else killing a child is going to face a legal consequence, why would someone killing their own child not face a legal consequence?

01:46:26.000 I think the anti-abortion crowd typically Shows there is a distinction between an abortion and the killing of a baby.

01:46:36.000 Yeah.

01:46:37.000 If there was a story about big buildings where they literally brought babies in and just killed them, you'd have people surrounding it, smashing the windows, and you'd be going... So, there's something... There's a difference in the moral quality of the act, right?

01:46:52.000 Versus, like, an abortion versus walking up to someone and shooting them in the street.

01:46:55.000 And that's why I don't like the syllogism argument, because I think that the pro-life lobby intrinsically does know that there's a difference because they don't argue for punishment in the same way.

01:47:07.000 I want to make sure we can argue as many as possible.

01:47:10.000 Maybe in the after show.

01:47:11.000 I actually have to leave, I'm sorry.

01:47:14.000 My baby, who we had, has been screaming for too long.

01:47:19.000 I'll make a funny argument when you're gone.

01:47:20.000 How do you make up for that?

01:47:21.000 How do you what?

01:47:21.000 Joseph Wilkinson says, Tim, your theory on fathers aborting their financial duty doesn't

01:47:26.000 go far enough.

01:47:27.000 If a woman aborts the child against the father's will, she should be forced to compensate the 1.00

01:47:31.000 father in some way.

01:47:32.000 How do you make up for that?

01:47:33.000 How do you what?

01:47:34.000 How do you make up for the abortion of a child that the father didn't want to be aborted?

01:47:39.000 What's the fair market value of a human baby?

01:47:42.000 $50,000.

01:47:43.000 She got paid $25,000.

01:47:43.000 No, I'm kidding.

01:47:45.000 Alright.

01:47:46.000 Butter Warrior says, make mommy milkers great again. 1.00

01:47:49.000 Okay.

01:47:50.000 Bill Hughes says, before Similac, mothers made their own baby formula.

01:47:54.000 Now we're talking.

01:47:55.000 It was like milk, wasn't it?

01:47:56.000 Right.

01:47:57.000 It was a crazy hack.

01:47:59.000 Like cow milk.

01:48:01.000 It was usually evaporated milk or dried milk, and a lot of times babies didn't get all the nutrients they needed.

01:48:08.000 They would literally just take powdered milk and Karo syrup.

01:48:11.000 Frosting.

01:48:11.000 There you go.

01:48:12.000 Perfect.

01:48:12.000 You can put frosting in one of those cake things and the baby can just eat that.

01:48:16.000 What about mashed peas?

01:48:17.000 Babies need sugar, right? 1.00

01:48:18.000 What about what?

01:48:19.000 Mashed peas?

01:48:20.000 Do they eat mashed peas?

01:48:21.000 That was my favorite food as a kid.

01:48:23.000 Honey.

01:48:23.000 Yeah, honey.

01:48:25.000 Perfect.

01:48:25.000 Don't give your baby honey, please.

01:48:28.000 Yeah, babies can't eat solid food until they're like one year old.

01:48:31.000 You can't feed them a lot of stuff.

01:48:33.000 That's why formula is so important.

01:48:34.000 Avocados.

01:48:36.000 I do agree with your point earlier, Lydia, that that formula obsession with formula is like a pharmacological thing.

01:48:41.000 Yeah, that's kind of what it looks like to me.

01:48:43.000 A nice, medium-rare ribeye.

01:48:44.000 Yes!

01:48:45.000 Your boy's gonna be big and strong.

01:48:48.000 He'll love it.

01:48:48.000 At what age can a baby have a nice, medium-rare steak?

01:48:51.000 Three.

01:48:52.000 Three?

01:48:52.000 Three years old, probably.

01:48:53.000 Those poor children.

01:48:54.000 I know, it's tough.

01:48:55.000 Oh, man.

01:48:57.000 All right.

01:48:58.000 What is it?

01:48:59.000 Joseph says, what's your take on the stock market, Will?

01:49:01.000 Curious.

01:49:02.000 My take on the stock market?

01:49:03.000 I mean, I think a lot of the sort of big growth stocks that had price to earnings ratios that went wild

01:49:10.000 are taking a beating.

01:49:12.000 Like Tesla's taking a beating, for example.

01:49:14.000 They're still at a 99 price to earnings ratio.

01:49:16.000 Wasn't AMC and GameStop went up or something?

01:49:20.000 Yeah, all the sort of meme-y stuff and all the growth, cool, it stocks are taking a beating.

01:49:26.000 A lot of the normal companies aren't taking as much of a beating.

01:49:29.000 I'm pretty sure, I was looking at SPLV, which is like my index of the boring Coke

01:49:34.000 and McDonald's or whatever, and they're down a little, but they're all doing fine.

01:49:38.000 I think, you know, we probably are in for some sort of recession because we got a lot of inflation out there, and to stop that you need interest rates to go up, and so that'll create some havoc.

01:49:47.000 But that doesn't mean that, like, long-term... I think it's not... the long-term collapse of the American economy is not going to happen, right?

01:49:54.000 Like, as a result of this short recession.

01:49:58.000 Yeah, I noticed the Terra Luna cryptocurrency.

01:50:00.000 I don't know if you guys have been following this, but it was worth like $80 a couple weeks ago.

01:50:04.000 It's worth six ten thousandths of a cent now.

01:50:07.000 It crashed 99.99999% in like two days.

01:50:08.000 9.99999% for like two days.

01:50:12.000 Buy the dip, bro.

01:50:13.000 So, all at once, it was one, I almost bought it when it was at one cent.

01:50:18.000 I would have lost like a thousand percent of my money.

01:50:21.000 It's one crypto that happened.

01:50:22.000 So like you're saying, a total market collapse doesn't look like it's going to happen.

01:50:26.000 They're going to be crashing specific types of currencies and buying back.

01:50:30.000 Speculative assets are the ones that are going to suffer, right?

01:50:32.000 Either crypto or equity, right?

01:50:36.000 That's what struggles in a recession.

01:50:38.000 I, you know, my thing is I, I, I don't have crypto because I'm like, I'm going to make a lot of money off this.

01:50:44.000 Woo.

01:50:44.000 Yeah.

01:50:44.000 I go for the utility personally.

01:50:47.000 We talked a little bit about it before the show.

01:50:49.000 I, I, I bought crypto as a digital asset, you know, and the value can fluctuate dramatically, but it is, it is, it's a digital store of value.

01:50:57.000 I'm not looking for it to reach 10,000% and make a million dollars overnight.

01:51:02.000 I bought in Bitcoin a long, long time ago and there.

01:51:06.000 You know, it jumped up to $60,000 and I went, wow, well, I'm not going to sell because that's

01:51:09.000 not why I bought it. And then it falls down to $30,000 and I was like, huh, well, I don't care.

01:51:13.000 I didn't buy it to sell it. Then it goes up to $50,000 again and I'm like, I don't even check

01:51:18.000 the price. That's not why I got it. MuleCoin just hit $2,000.

01:51:22.000 Oh, yeah. Okay.

01:51:23.000 Let's read some more.

01:51:24.000 Rye Lyon says, I was a director at a multinational that started

01:51:28.000 belittling and discriminating against white men.

01:51:30.000 I asked them to end the policies and they said no, so I let them know it's why I left.

01:51:34.000 Great decision.

01:51:35.000 Good for you, man.

01:51:36.000 Good for you.

01:51:37.000 You know, we had Daryl Davis on last week and I think a lot of people were disappointed

01:51:41.000 to discover that he was a racial identitarian.

01:51:44.000 They assumed the story of the man who de-radicalized Klansmen was that he told them not to be racist,

01:51:48.000 when in fact he actually met them and said race is the determinant factor in policy and

01:51:55.000 Agree with me instead on my racial identitarianism.

01:51:57.000 And they said, yes.

01:51:59.000 So it wasn't that this guy de-radicalized people from racial identitarianism.

01:52:03.000 They maintained their racial identitarianism.

01:52:05.000 Just their position moved a little to the left, I suppose.

01:52:09.000 I mean, that kind of changes the story a lot.

01:52:10.000 It might be.

01:52:11.000 I don't know, because I wasn't there when he was doing it, so I don't know exactly the conversations.

01:52:14.000 It might be that he's just kind of a chill dude, and it's like, yeah, I like Daryl.

01:52:17.000 I do.

01:52:18.000 And if he says stuff I don't agree with, I kind of want to talk to him because he listens.

01:52:22.000 It may be that he got radicalized in the past few years with the critical race theory stuff.

01:52:26.000 Yeah.

01:52:27.000 So when I told him the definition of critical race theory as per the book, he just refused, like, no, I don't believe it.

01:52:32.000 He's like, that's not what it is.

01:52:33.000 I've heard what Kimberly Crenshaw says.

01:52:35.000 And then you also have Derrick Bell who, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he praised Plessy versus Ferguson and said that Democrats never should have, I'm sorry, that the black community never should have pushed against it.

01:52:45.000 So they want it separate but equal.

01:52:46.000 That's the critical race theory.

01:52:47.000 That's what they want.

01:52:49.000 Well, let's read some more.

01:52:51.000 The Trooper says, hey Tim, long time fan, on your point of influencers versus blue-collar jobs, I am a fireproofer for construction sites, and all I do is mask windows and walls from overspray and pull hoses all day, and I get 25 an hour.

01:53:05.000 Not bad cash for low-skilled labor.

01:53:07.000 Keep rockin', dude.

01:53:09.000 But it's, like, really important.

01:53:11.000 I mean, you know?

01:53:12.000 Good for you.

01:53:12.000 Fireproofing is... I mean that, like, good for you.

01:53:14.000 Yeah.

01:53:14.000 Good for you.

01:53:15.000 Like, that's a virtuous thing to be doing.

01:53:16.000 Good for you.

01:53:18.000 Rain B says, Tim, I'm a medical microbiologist, and that's what I wanted since I was young.

01:53:23.000 My little siblings could care less and want to get money with no work and worshipped without work.

01:53:29.000 Though I'm one of the grads who has loans, but I work my ass off.

01:53:34.000 Well, glad to hear it, man.

01:53:35.000 You know, I think people should pursue their passions and do their best to be good at it, but also be realistic, too, because sometimes people are passionate about folklore and mythology.

01:53:44.000 And it's really cool if you know a lot and you could be hired as a movie consultant.

01:53:48.000 You know, they're like, hey, we want to do a movie.

01:53:50.000 It's fantasy.

01:53:51.000 And we want to have, you know, these gods and these ancient creatures.

01:53:55.000 And they're going to need someone who's an expert on that.

01:53:57.000 But I really don't think that's going to be, like, a consistent job for you.

01:54:01.000 If there is an expert out there, I'd like to know, when the comet struck North America 13,000 years ago, 12,800, and caused the flood that sunk Atlantis, how long between when the comet was in the sky and they saw it, and when it connected, how long was that?

01:54:14.000 And who was running Atlantis?

01:54:15.000 And who was running Atlantis at the time?

01:54:17.000 And where did the Atlanteans go?

01:54:18.000 I really want to know how long they saw that thing before it hit, and how long the society had to prepare if they even knew what it was.

01:54:25.000 Alright!

01:54:25.000 It was Joe Biden.

01:54:26.000 He's an old guy. 0.92

01:54:28.000 PsychoDragon says, PsychoDragon Studios is making an ARPG.

01:54:32.000 I'm a medically retired vet making a triple-A level game, mostly solo dev on UE4.

01:54:38.000 Where are we?

01:54:39.000 We aren't rich.

01:54:40.000 Busy grinding away.

01:54:41.000 The character in my profile is one of my NPCs.

01:54:43.000 My team is anti-woke on commission.

01:54:46.000 Cool.

01:54:47.000 Good luck.

01:54:48.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:54:50.000 Cory the Merrill says, for mules, you could release an audio commentary viewers are meant to play with the movie.

01:54:55.000 Also, please consider watching the anime Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

01:54:58.000 It's available on HID Live.

01:55:02.000 That's a really good idea.

01:55:04.000 We could do it.

01:55:05.000 And we won't show the documentary.

01:55:07.000 We will say...

01:55:08.000 We're going to show the timestamp of the documentary so you know where our commentary is in the film, so you can easily synchronize it yourself.

01:55:14.000 And then if you buy the film, you can hear our commentary along with it.

01:55:17.000 Yeah, and then you can turn the volume down.

01:55:18.000 You can do your own levels.

01:55:20.000 That's a good idea.

01:55:21.000 Yeah.

01:55:22.000 The only issue, I suppose, is there might be periods where we would want to pause things.

01:55:26.000 But we could, I guess.

01:55:26.000 Just leave the room and come back.

01:55:27.000 The timestamp stops.

01:55:28.000 I think we'll have to commit to letting it run, and just, if you've got to go, go and come back.

01:55:32.000 I mean, pause it to make a point.

01:55:33.000 To be like, hold on, hold on, pause.

01:55:34.000 He just said this.

01:55:35.000 Guys, did you hear that?

01:55:36.000 Let's look that up.

01:55:38.000 I don't know.

01:55:39.000 Maybe we'll do a deep dive or something.

01:55:41.000 We'll figure it out.

01:55:42.000 That'd be really cool.

01:55:44.000 Samuel Hess says, Hey Will, not sure if the milk thing was slightly a joke, but I had major colic as a baby, and my mom couldn't make breast milk or anything on the shelf work, so my parents used goat milk.

01:55:55.000 Worked great, and as a 36 year old gay man, doing great.

01:56:00.000 It works for some people.

01:56:00.000 I'm not gonna say, like, goat milk doesn't work for anybody.

01:56:03.000 I'm just saying, like, there are kids who really do need the formula.

01:56:07.000 And those are the kids who are really struggling right now, right?

01:56:11.000 Even with this current baby formula shortage, most people can find formula that works.

01:56:15.000 Check this out.

01:56:16.000 AlwaysPointNorth says, I live in California, work as a ready mix driver.

01:56:20.000 There is also a cement powder shortage.

01:56:22.000 Oh, what?

01:56:23.000 Cement.

01:56:24.000 I mean, there's general supply chain problems everywhere, right?

01:56:27.000 Like, I mean, I think baby short formula is particularly impacted because of that plant shutdown, but there's, there's problems everywhere.

01:56:33.000 Tricky says, I work for Trinet.

01:56:35.000 Would suggest a different company because Trinet has been going more and more woke in the past few years, i.e.

01:56:41.000 DEI training.

01:56:43.000 So bad I'm thinking of looking for another job after seven plus years.

01:56:46.000 Fair enough, but Trinet is just an example of a company in the space of PEOs.

01:56:53.000 Andrew Barnes says, Dark is radical.

01:56:55.000 He's defining systemic and not systematic racism.

01:56:58.000 There's a difference.

01:56:59.000 Oh, is he referring to another super chit? 0.95

01:57:02.000 Tyler Price says, Ian, it was multiple impacts over 22 years.

01:57:04.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:57:05.000 I think it was over 800 years.

01:57:07.000 There were two bouts of, like, there was this, oh, 22-year collisions.

01:57:10.000 That's insane.

01:57:11.000 But what I want to know is the first, the one that actually caused the flood itself.

01:57:15.000 What was that?

01:57:16.000 How long?

01:57:17.000 I mean, obviously, it's a big question.

01:57:18.000 I don't know if historians have figured it out yet.

01:57:21.000 All right.

01:57:21.000 They got nailed twice in 800 years.

01:57:23.000 Another 800 years later, it came back.

01:57:24.000 And that's why the Egyptians have all these hieroglyphs of pointing at comets, because they're like, hey, guys, in the future, look out. 0.85

01:57:30.000 Get ready.

01:57:31.000 Warning.

01:57:32.000 Watch out.

01:57:34.000 Oh, what's this?

01:57:34.000 We have a super chat from someone named TheRealHydro, who says, Tim, you and Joe both had the same guest, Daryl Davis.

01:57:42.000 While on your show, Daryl exposed himself.

01:57:45.000 On Joe, he was put on a pedestal.

01:57:46.000 Joe was clueless.

01:57:48.000 That's why I wonder if this is that Daryl's been radicalized more recently, because we had him at an event and none of this stuff came up before.

01:57:55.000 Like I talked to him and he was not talking about any of that stuff.

01:57:58.000 Maybe no one's ever given him the opportunity to actually talk about those issues or challenge those issues and hear what he thought about them.

01:58:04.000 Yeah, we started talking about reparations.

01:58:06.000 It got kind of derailed into money, but he was pretty clear like he doesn't think it has to be a money thing.

01:58:10.000 It just would figure out a way to repair the system.

01:58:13.000 I think it was all wrong anyway.

01:58:15.000 All right, guys, we're gonna go over that members segment, so make sure you smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show if you really do like it, it helps.

01:58:21.000 And if you become a member at TimCast.com, you're not only supporting our journalists, you're not only getting access to our members' content, but you're supporting alternatives to big tech infrastructure.

01:58:30.000 And we're not just stopping by utilizing these services, we are actively building more right now, and I can't wait to announce it, but we gotta wait until we do it before we announce it.

01:58:39.000 And some people are asking about the comments section.

01:58:42.000 infrastructure questions that will be answered once we fully implement it.

01:58:46.000 And it's like a, it's politics, man. You know, people are trying to get us shut down,

01:58:49.000 so once we get these infrastructure changes made, we can do a lot.

01:58:54.000 You can follow the show at Timcast IRL. You can follow me personally at Timcast.

01:58:57.000 Will, do you want to shout anything out?

01:58:58.000 Yeah, just right now, follow me on Twitter at Will Chamberlain.

01:59:01.000 So go over to Freedom Tunes.

01:59:05.000 We just released a video today called Bro V. Wade.

01:59:08.000 I think you guys are really going to enjoy it.

01:59:11.000 I really was said that the Egyptians had a hieroglyph of them pointing at a comet.

01:59:15.000 I remember seeing it when I was younger.

01:59:16.000 I'm looking into it now because I haven't looked in a long time.

01:59:19.000 So maybe the Egyptians didn't have that.

01:59:21.000 I gotta really source that before I emphatically drive it home.

01:59:24.000 Have a nice evening, guys.

01:59:25.000 See you next time.

01:59:26.000 I want to thank Will so much for coming this evening and bringing his lovely wife and beautiful baby.

01:59:30.000 Yes, indeed.

01:59:30.000 It's very fun to see both of them again, for sure.

01:59:32.000 The baby for the first time, which is really neat.

01:59:35.000 You guys may follow me on Twitter at Minds.com, at Sour Patchlets, as well as SourPatchlets.me.

01:59:40.000 We will see you all at TimCast.com.
