Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Biden CAUGHT On Hot Mic Swearing At Fox Reporter Over Inflation w-Delano Squires

00:00:04.000 Quite possibly the biggest news of the day is that Joe Biden's got 8,500 troops on heightened alert.

00:00:10.000 There's a plan for deployment of up to 50,000 troops into Eastern Europe, and we're going to war, baby. 0.85

00:00:16.000 Well, I don't know if we're actually going to go to war, but a lot of people think that's where we're going to end up.

00:00:21.000 Now, that's really, really important news, but That's kind of it.

00:00:24.000 That's where we're at with it.

00:00:26.000 And so we didn't necessarily think it made sense to just lead with breaking news war.

00:00:30.000 Let's talk about something else.

00:00:31.000 So, you know, I'll mention it here.

00:00:32.000 We are definitely going to talk about it because we have to get into the Biden administration and his failures. 0.99

00:00:37.000 And our lead story is actually that Biden was caught on a hot mic calling Peter Doocy a stupid SOB. 1.00

00:00:43.000 He didn't say SOB, he actually said son of a bitch. 1.00

00:00:45.000 And wow. 1.00

00:00:47.000 It was about inflation.

00:00:48.000 And I think this story is important because it shows that Joe Biden, the Democrats, understand inflation is really bad.

00:00:52.000 Because Biden made a comment about it being bad.

00:00:55.000 And this says to me, they know.

00:00:57.000 They know that they are presiding over a disaster.

00:01:01.000 And now we can see the emperor with no clothes.

00:01:03.000 I know we've used that analogy 50 billion times.

00:01:05.000 But we'll talk about that.

00:01:05.000 We also got to talk about Barry Weiss on Bill Maher's show and the response to it.

00:01:10.000 Not that I actually want to, to be honest, because I think, you know, my point I made on Twitter was that You and I, all of you watching, and the guests we've had on the show, are having these conversations that Bill Maher's having now.

00:01:21.000 We had them over a year ago.

00:01:23.000 And so we need to start asserting ourselves.

00:01:25.000 We can set the news cycle.

00:01:26.000 You guys can decide what the news is.

00:01:28.000 You can tweet about it.

00:01:29.000 You can say, I don't care to talk about a show that's a year late to the party.

00:01:33.000 It's still good.

00:01:34.000 They're talking about it, though.

00:01:35.000 So we'll definitely get into all that stuff.

00:01:36.000 And I really want to talk about Matt Walsh on Dr. Phil.

00:01:39.000 So we got all of those stories.

00:01:40.000 Plus, we will be talking about war in Eastern Europe.

00:01:44.000 And joining us today... Oh, actually, before I announce our awesome guest, I just want to let everybody know that Luke is not here.

00:01:50.000 He has left.

00:01:51.000 He got scared because of everything going on, and, you know, he's not here to defend himself over these charges, so that's a shame.

00:01:59.000 But joining us as a replacement for Luke is none other than Anthony Fauci.

00:02:03.000 This is Bobblehead.

00:02:05.000 There he is.

00:02:06.000 Just sitting there.

00:02:07.000 And you can see his head bobbling back and forth.

00:02:09.000 I am the science.

00:02:11.000 I am the science.

00:02:12.000 No, we're hanging out with Delano Squires.

00:02:14.000 Thank you for having me, guys.

00:02:15.000 You want to introduce yourself, man?

00:02:16.000 Sure.

00:02:16.000 My name is Delano Squires.

00:02:18.000 I'm a contributor for The Blaze.

00:02:20.000 Regular guest on Fearless with Jason Whitlock.

00:02:23.000 Appear twice a week, write twice a week for The Blaze.

00:02:25.000 Talk about everything.

00:02:27.000 Culture, politics, faith.

00:02:29.000 And I'm glad to be here.

00:02:30.000 Thanks for having me back.

00:02:31.000 Yeah, absolutely, man.

00:02:32.000 Second time here.

00:02:32.000 We're glad to have you.

00:02:33.000 For sure.

00:02:33.000 We got Ian.

00:02:34.000 What's up, everybody?

00:02:34.000 Ian Croson in the house.

00:02:36.000 I am sad that Luke is gone.

00:02:37.000 He had to visit Dagobah.

00:02:39.000 I believe that there was a Jedi Master that he needs to get a little bit of training from.

00:02:43.000 In the meantime, though, if you want to pick up one of these awesome shirts from thebestpoliticalshirts.com and support Luke Rutkowski and We Are Change, do it.

00:02:51.000 Do it.

00:02:52.000 Do it.

00:02:53.000 Yeah, I saw a comment in the chat saying that Luke was invading Ukraine.

00:02:56.000 I hope this is not the case.

00:02:58.000 My understanding is that he's going to Florida, so hopefully he's not causing trouble over in Eastern Europe.

00:03:03.000 Luke looks like Bill Maher and he looks like Putin.

00:03:06.000 I love it.

00:03:06.000 Isn't that weird?

00:03:07.000 It's true.

00:03:09.000 That's so great.

00:03:10.000 Ian's like, that's great.

00:03:12.000 I don't know why that is great.

00:03:13.000 The history of Poland, man.

00:03:14.000 I don't know.

00:03:15.000 They got that Polish blood in them. 1.00

00:03:17.000 Those guys, I don't know, Slavic or... Is Bill Maher Polish?

00:03:21.000 I don't know.

00:03:21.000 I bet he is.

00:03:22.000 Maybe.

00:03:23.000 I don't know, man.

00:05:21.000 Smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, and now, let's talk about Joe Biden caught on hot mic calling Peter Doocy a stupid son of a bitch for asking about inflation. 0.99

00:05:34.000 You know, I don't know how many times I can say the emperor has no clothes. 1.00

00:05:37.000 The New York Post reports, President Biden called Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy a stupid son of a bitch Monday after he asked about Biden. 0.99

00:05:45.000 He asked Biden about soaring inflation. 1.00

00:05:47.000 Wow.

00:05:48.000 Do you think inflation is a political liability?

00:05:51.000 Doocy asked Biden as the press was ushered out of an event in the White House East Room.

00:05:56.000 Now, I think it's fair to say Biden didn't realize he was actually responding.

00:06:00.000 I think he thought the mic was off or whatever.

00:06:02.000 He says, no, it's a great asset, more inflation. 1.00

00:06:05.000 What a stupid son of a bitch Biden sneered into a hot mic. 1.00

00:06:09.000 The president's vulgar insult was cut from the White House video feed, but was audible on C-SPAN. 1.00

00:06:15.000 Doocy's question about inflation came after a Fox News poll released Sunday found that 85% of Americans are worried about inflation, which hit a 40-year high of 7% in December.

00:06:25.000 Now, look, Joe Biden, this is a great question from Peter Doocy, because Joe Biden is presiding over massive inflation.

00:06:33.000 If he was actually pressed on this in an open setting, you know, Peter Doocy is like walking out of the room, all the reporters are yelling, Joe Biden would have to deflect or defend rampant inflation.

00:06:44.000 Or say, yeah, it is.

00:06:46.000 What was the phrasing?

00:06:47.000 Is it politically... A political liability.

00:06:49.000 For him to say, yeah, it is a political liability, but you gotta understand it's bigger than the presidency.

00:06:53.000 Like, he could be honest about it.

00:06:55.000 I suppose.

00:06:55.000 Good luck.

00:06:56.000 But he wouldn't.

00:06:56.000 Jen Psaki wouldn't.

00:06:58.000 When Joe Biden questioned the legitimacy of the midterm, Jen Psaki claimed he was talking about Trump.

00:07:03.000 Like, what?

00:07:03.000 No, Joe Biden said that.

00:07:05.000 But here's why I think it's so important.

00:07:06.000 Because you've got this from CNN, why inflation can actually be good for everyday Americans and bad for rich people.

00:07:13.000 Yo, I think regular people are just, every day, it's a bucket of ice water thrown in their face.

00:07:20.000 Because imagine you're somebody who's, you know, you're probably not that smart, to be honest, if you believe this stuff from CNN. 0.97

00:07:25.000 And I think, I'm saying that because I'm confident nobody who watches this show is stupid enough to believe the lies coming out of this inflation stuff with like, inflation's actually good for you. 0.98

00:07:33.000 But imagine you are somebody. 0.97

00:07:35.000 Okay, I don't want to be too mean to these guys. 1.00

00:07:36.000 Let's imagine, you know, these people are ignorant. 0.97

00:07:38.000 They read this story and they're like, oh, I get it. 0.99

00:07:40.000 That makes sense. 1.00

00:07:41.000 And then you hear Joe Biden call someone a stupid son of a bitch for asking if it was a liability. 1.00

00:07:47.000 He said, no. 1.00

00:07:48.000 And you're like, wait a minute.

00:07:49.000 But, you know, CNN, these media outlets are telling me it's not bad.

00:07:53.000 Why would Biden get so angry over this?

00:07:55.000 Hey, maybe they're lying to you guys.

00:07:57.000 Yeah, what do you think?

00:08:02.000 I mean, at the end of the day, whether viewers and readers are politically astute or not, when you go to the store and a pack of bacon that used to cost you $6 now costs $9, and the price of gas is going up, the price of eggs and milk, if you can even find them on the shelves, I think that's where most people feel it, right?

00:08:23.000 They feel it in their pocketbooks.

00:08:24.000 And a lot of the political debates that are popular in Washington Again, these pocketbook issues are really, I think, what drive voters, particularly if they feel like the president is the one that's causing it.

00:08:37.000 If his policies are causing it, then I definitely think it's a political liability.

00:08:41.000 And I think that's why he responded so sarcastically in saying, oh, no, it's a great, it's an asset.

00:08:47.000 I think he knows.

00:08:48.000 I've been feeling pretty good lately, you know, watching watching Joe Biden gaffe and like poop his pants and kind of stuff like that.

00:08:54.000 Because, you know, when he says stuff like this, but regular people are experiencing the problems, it shows like it's like you said, the debates in Washington.

00:09:05.000 They're so out of touch with America.

00:09:07.000 Oh yeah, for sure.

00:09:08.000 Like a few years ago, the way I described it was like, there's this giant maelstrom, this big whirlpool that we're all stuck in, but it's shrinking and spinning faster and faster, and we're getting ejected from it.

00:09:16.000 Like, regular people were getting thrown from the mainstream over having questions, being like, hey, I don't understand this particular policy while you're doing it.

00:09:23.000 Oh, you're far right, get out!

00:09:24.000 It's like, okay, I'm out, I'm gone.

00:09:27.000 Now it feels like the political elite and the establishment media types are in this tiny little section, spinning in circles, screaming at the top of their lungs.

00:09:35.000 Nobody's there anymore.

00:09:36.000 Nobody cares about their debates or their arguments.

00:09:38.000 They know it's all busted up.

00:09:40.000 So I was actually going to ask you this.

00:09:41.000 I was going to say, how long until the war in Ukraine with Russia makes everyone forget all about this?

00:09:47.000 But no, that's why I said I've been feeling good, because I don't think they will.

00:09:50.000 I think we're at a point where our generation, they're not going to be sucked up into the manipulation through war.

00:09:56.000 You know what I mean?

00:09:57.000 I saw this video of this girl, I think it was in England, crying about the masks and what it had done to her generation.

00:10:03.000 This was devastating.

00:10:04.000 And this is something every human, I think, should see this at some point.

00:10:07.000 I think that the trauma that's been imposed on people because of this COVID masking mandate stuff is no one will ever forget this.

00:10:14.000 That this is now part of the human experience.

00:10:17.000 To see this happen to a society and God willing that we make sure it doesn't happen again unnecessarily.

00:10:24.000 I'm hoping that that's the case.

00:10:25.000 Yeah.

00:10:26.000 So, I mean, I had a recent article in The Blaze where I talked about COVID-19 has unleashed a new era in sort of American political and social life.

00:10:36.000 So, you know, we obviously, early on in our country's history, we had a colonial period and Civil War, Reconstruction, Jim Crow.

00:10:43.000 I mean, Jim Crow, civil rights. 0.53

00:10:46.000 I call this the era of the God King.

00:10:49.000 And I think the, as I call it, the unholy trinity of big government, big business, big media have completely inverted our political system.

00:10:59.000 So instead of them seeing themselves as serving our interests, They see us as serving their interests.

00:11:07.000 And that's why they get so upset and so vicious whenever any of us have the audacity to question them.

00:11:14.000 So it's no longer the consent of the governed.

00:11:16.000 It's, no, we tell you what to think.

00:11:19.000 Don't question us.

00:11:20.000 As you said, if you do question us, oh, you must be all right.

00:11:22.000 It's just like, no, I just want to know why my two-year-old has to wear a mask while you guys go out and drink margaritas and, you know, go to Taibo maskless.

00:11:30.000 Like, I think those are legitimate questions, but I mean, you see this from Washington every day and the craziest part of it is how many liberals, leftists, self-proclaimed progressives have lined up behind it.

00:11:44.000 Like, I'm from a generation, like I look at sports, where the media, particularly sports media, would reflexively take the side of players over management regardless of the dispute.

00:11:58.000 But now you got guys like Stephen A. Smith is saying, No, Kyrie Irving is a bad teammate. 0.99

00:12:01.000 He's terrible.

00:12:03.000 You know, and you have analysts on ESPN who I know will never question the narrative that's being, you know, pushed down from on high.

00:12:10.000 And these guys are tools.

00:12:11.000 Howard Stern, same thing.

00:12:13.000 Oh yeah, dude.

00:12:14.000 I used to watch the Howard Stern show.

00:12:15.000 I mean, this guy.

00:12:17.000 Didn't he call Oprah fat recently?

00:12:19.000 He did, he doesn't like that.

00:12:20.000 It does cross my mind.

00:12:21.000 But it's funny how, you know, Howard Stern used to be edgy and anti-establishment.

00:12:26.000 Now he's, he could not, if he licked boot more...

00:12:32.000 He'd be getting to the foot.

00:12:33.000 Yeah.

00:12:33.000 He'd be like, he'd be licking the straight foot.

00:12:36.000 Cause he's just getting right there.

00:12:38.000 There was like, Oprah had this party and then it was so against the establishment COVID narrative that he started mocking Oprah and going after Oprah.

00:12:45.000 I'm like, wow, man, that's pretty brazen to go after Oprah.

00:12:49.000 Cause she's like, you know, she's the queen of culture or was for a long time. 0.86

00:12:54.000 So you can see where he he's finally found his line.

00:12:57.000 Right.

00:12:57.000 It's not, you know, Chucking little people through the air is not, you know, getting strippers on TV to talk about the types of things they do in the bedroom.

00:13:06.000 It's if you disobey Dr. Fauci's COVID, you know, mandates and you're a terrible person, you're a terrible American, and I hope you die. 0.99

00:13:14.000 And it's like, where did all of this come from? 0.99

00:13:16.000 I think he's a good example of like someone panicking.

00:13:19.000 It's less about like, I'm angry you're not following the mandates.

00:13:22.000 It seems to be more he's about, I'm afraid of getting sick.

00:13:25.000 And so he's like in this frazzled, wild state of yelling at people to do what they're told.

00:13:30.000 I don't know, man.

00:13:32.000 See, but this goes against nature, right?

00:13:34.000 Pack animals never put the most neurotic, most afraid, you know, sort of animal at the front.

00:13:42.000 Those guys got to go to the back.

00:13:44.000 But we're being led by the anxious, the fearful, the neurotic, the docile, the gelded, and they're the ones telling everybody else what needs to be done.

00:13:56.000 Is this because of generational wealth?

00:14:00.000 I think, I think it's a cultural issue.

00:14:02.000 I think that, um, we've been too comfortable for too long.

00:14:06.000 You know, uh, you, you've got the concept of the fourth, the fourth, the fourth turning, you know, stress out generational theory.

00:14:10.000 You've got, you know, strong men make good times.

00:14:13.000 All that's, you know, those aren't familiar with it.

00:14:15.000 Strong men make good times, good times, make weak men, weak men, make hard times, hard times, make strong men.

00:14:20.000 I think we're just in the weak men phase where you've got like the Try Guys on Buzzy with no testosterone.

00:14:25.000 And I mean, it's, but I'm not saying to be mean to him, you know what I mean?

00:14:29.000 But it's true, right?

00:14:30.000 Yeah, so I was thinking about this too.

00:14:32.000 I did a segment on the low testosterone generation because, you know, there's stories going back 10, 20 years about how the testosterone levels are rapidly declining.

00:14:42.000 They think it might be the plastics leaching into food or something.

00:14:46.000 Antibiotics could be.

00:14:47.000 It could be antibiotics, it could be women's birth control in the water supply, and then getting recycled or something like that. 0.50

00:14:52.000 It could be soy consumption being put on.

00:14:55.000 Except they spray the soy with before they harvest it.

00:14:57.000 Glyphosates.

00:14:58.000 There's phytoestrogens in soy, and there's two arguments about this.

00:15:03.000 One is that phytoestrogens being weaker than estrogen will block your estrogen receptors and actually have a lower impact as opposed to your natural estrogen, because men have estrogen in their body.

00:15:13.000 Right.

00:15:14.000 When you're getting constantly slammed and inundated with a weaker form of investor and it could have an impact.

00:15:18.000 So I don't exactly know the reason, but I will tell you, I think that's a contributing factor to an overly feminized society, which results in people unwilling to take the risks required to fix a broken system.

00:15:31.000 That kind of mentality or imbalance results in despotism.

00:15:36.000 It results in, you know, someone like Joe Biden.

00:15:38.000 It results in these leaders that say, you know, you can't challenge them.

00:15:44.000 You can't take the risk because, you know, this is my personal view based on, you know, research and things like that.

00:15:52.000 You know, men, this is a fact, men tend to take more risks.

00:15:54.000 Women tend not to. 0.99

00:15:56.000 So if you have a well-balanced society between men and women, you know, the feminine, the masculine, then you're going to be well off because the guy, you're going to get some crazy guy who's like, I say we jump off the cliff and then try and I'll try and grab onto a guy who's got a parachute.

00:16:08.000 And then you might have a woman who's gonna be like, I think that's a crazy risk. 1.00

00:16:10.000 I don't think you should do it.

00:16:12.000 And then maybe talk the guys back a little bit from going too crazy.

00:16:14.000 But now we're getting just, it's imbalanced.

00:16:16.000 It's shifting all into the feminine, which is, it's toxic femininity. 1.00

00:16:21.000 So you'll end up with people who are unwilling to challenge system unwilling to speak out they don't want to go against social order It's too risky stay the course and the storm will all blow over I've got this feeling that I really have a lot of respect for a self-made man someone that comes from either medium or low means and then makes a great empire or a career and that's where I feel like with generational wealth that Weak young men are getting, inheriting a large amount of power.

00:16:48.000 And then because they have the power, they have the TV channel and little kids then see them and think that's normal.

00:16:54.000 And they don't, they're too afraid to take any risks.

00:16:56.000 They don't want to lose what they've had their whole life.

00:16:58.000 Whereas when you come from less than nothing or like not much, there's nothing really to lose.

00:17:02.000 You just give it your all.

00:17:03.000 I mean, what else?

00:17:03.000 That's how you got here in the first place.

00:17:05.000 I think, I think that makes sense.

00:17:07.000 Like if you look at this show, you know, I don't care.

00:17:09.000 I mean, I definitely think there's something to that, right?

00:17:13.000 The generation that builds the wealth and hands it on to the next generation, like that next generation, sometimes they can manage and steward, but by the time you get to the third or fourth, I mean, they're all about squandering it because they didn't work for it.

00:17:25.000 So it doesn't mean as much to them.

00:17:28.000 I remember, again, the very first column I wrote for The Blaze, I juxtaposed, and this was sort of, you know, swimming in the mainstream of culture, I juxtaposed an artist like Megan Thee Stallion, right?

00:17:40.000 She had a song with Cardi B, WAP, and that was a big thing in conservative circles and how vulgar it was. 0.73

00:17:46.000 And then I said, here you have Megan Thee Stallion, so stallions are uncut horses, wild, uncontrollable.

00:17:54.000 And then you have the cultural geldings, all of the men who would be too afraid to say anything critical about Megan Thee Stallion in public.

00:18:03.000 And these are guys who Again, oftentimes work for corporate media and academia. 0.99

00:18:08.000 If somebody like me says, look, I don't want my daughter ingesting this crap because it's garbage. 1.00

00:18:12.000 And if the 90s, particularly as it relates to hip hop, was about keeping the boys out of the gangs, then the 2000s and the 2020s are going to be keeping the girls off of OnlyFans. 0.98

00:18:22.000 And I know exactly the type of men who would come up and criticize me for that.

00:18:26.000 Right?

00:18:27.000 And I think our country is being led by those types of men.

00:18:32.000 White knights?

00:18:33.000 There it is.

00:18:34.000 White knights.

00:18:34.000 For sure.

00:18:35.000 For sure. 0.84

00:18:36.000 And I think 2022 needs to be the year that we get rid of white knights, honestly. 1.00

00:18:41.000 But it's a combination.

00:18:43.000 So Vox.com had an article I reference often that about 70% of millennial women are Democrats. 1.00

00:18:49.000 So they're all voting.

00:18:50.000 And then you get about slightly more millennial men are Republican.

00:18:55.000 I think the men, for the most part, not completely.

00:18:59.000 I think there's two parent trees in the Democrat voter base. 0.98

00:19:03.000 The ignorant, default liberal types, and the exploitative.

00:19:08.000 I think the right and the Republicans have that exploitation as well, but whatever the cultural right tends to be right now, it's an eclectic bunch of varying political ideologies. 0.96

00:19:16.000 I don't know how you describe it.

00:19:17.000 But among the Democrats, you've got people who are like, I'm gonna say whatever I have to to this woman so that she comes over to my apartment and gives me what I want. 0.99

00:19:25.000 And so they're just like, yeah, whatever you say.

00:19:27.000 Oh, of course.

00:19:28.000 Right.

00:19:28.000 And then you've got regular people who are just like, seems that this is what everybody wants.

00:19:32.000 Right.

00:19:32.000 So I'm going to vote for it.

00:19:33.000 And then you've got people who are willing to challenge, go against the grain, risk things, risk their careers, and they're going to speak up and say no.

00:19:40.000 But that's why I said there's an imbalance, because the willingness to take risks for the betterment of society is really low.

00:19:45.000 Yeah.

00:19:45.000 It may not have anything to do with testosterone.

00:19:47.000 It may have to do with luxury.

00:19:49.000 Like, life is just too good, man.

00:19:51.000 You can order pizza off the internet, you know what I mean?

00:19:54.000 I think it really has to do with too much free time.

00:19:57.000 We have too much free time because we have disposable income, and when we have free time, we get into our own heads, we become very self-centered, we become very narcissistic, and if you don't have children, and if you don't have fulfilling familial relationships, you're going to kind of fall apart, because humans demand that kind of structure.

00:20:13.000 Like, we really don't do well without one another.

00:20:16.000 It's crazy.

00:20:17.000 COVID has opened my eyes, man, to that there are followers and there are shepherds in their sheep.

00:20:22.000 There are people who are like, yo, just tell me what to do.

00:20:25.000 And there are people who are literally, don't you dare tell me what to do.

00:20:28.000 And let me do this.

00:20:29.000 Let me pull up the New York Post story we got and we'll get into this one.

00:20:33.000 New York Post quote, I'm done with COVID.

00:20:35.000 Barry Weiss on Bill Maher sparks controversy.

00:20:39.000 Not to us!

00:20:40.000 Right.

00:20:40.000 Because like we've been, I'm done with COVID.

00:20:43.000 I think I said that like four or five months ago.

00:20:44.000 And then I got COVID and I got made fun of for it.

00:20:46.000 No, but it's it's the insanity of the restrictions.

00:20:49.000 So on Friday, on Bill Maher's show, Barry Weiss, she said, I'm done.

00:20:54.000 I'm done with COVID.

00:20:55.000 She said, I sprayed the Pringles cans.

00:20:56.000 I bought at every grocery store.

00:20:57.000 I stripped my clothes off because I thought COVID would be on my clothes.

00:20:59.000 I watched Tiger King.

00:21:00.000 I got to the end of Spotify.

00:21:02.000 We all did it.

00:21:03.000 I love that.

00:21:04.000 We all did it.

00:21:06.000 Yo, I'm sure a lot of these liberals did.

00:21:09.000 So here's, this is interesting.

00:21:11.000 This is a mainstream corporate press show, Bill Maher.

00:21:15.000 Bill Maher's always been kind of, you know, he's always been in line with the left and the culture war, but he's been, he challenges that every so often, but he's late to the party, he gets things wrong.

00:21:24.000 So here I am, I see this going viral.

00:21:27.000 First and most important thing, good news.

00:21:29.000 Regular liberals who watch Bill Maher are now cheering for this.

00:21:34.000 When Barry Weiss has said that what's happening to our kids will be seen as a moral crime, you know, I'm done with this, everyone's clapping and cheering.

00:21:41.000 Bill Maher opened the show by saying, he called the vaccine a virtue signal.

00:21:45.000 That was crazy to me.

00:21:47.000 He said, your first dose, it's like, I can't remember the exact joke, but he was like, it comes in three doses, your first series, your booster, and your virtue signal.

00:21:54.000 And then everyone, they laugh or whatever.

00:21:57.000 And so I'm like, this is really, really good.

00:21:58.000 And I want to make sure that's clear to everybody, because I'm going to criticize a bit of everybody.

00:22:03.000 It's good that we're watching regular people wake up to this stuff.

00:22:05.000 It's good that we're seeing people realize you've got to do something about this.

00:22:09.000 We can't just sit back and let the country fall apart.

00:22:11.000 The stores are going... It's been two years, right?

00:22:15.000 But we've had this conversation a year ago.

00:22:17.000 We had this conversation a year and a half ago.

00:22:20.000 And my concern is just this.

00:22:22.000 To all of the independent media types, the podcasters, the Twitter posters, the journalists who have listened to this show, have listened to Steven Crowder, who have listened to Jimmy Dore.

00:22:33.000 Jimmy Dore and Crowder talked about these things before we even did.

00:22:37.000 So let's realize, for one, we were all right.

00:22:42.000 What's the joke?

00:22:43.000 Conspiracy theories, 597.

00:22:44.000 Mainstream media, zero.

00:22:49.000 We talked about it first.

00:22:50.000 We were right.

00:22:50.000 We need to have more confidence in ourselves.

00:22:53.000 We need to basically say to the likes of Bill Maher, But amongst ourselves is, we need to set our own news cycle.

00:23:01.000 We shouldn't sit back and be like, well, did Bill Maher talk about it?

00:23:04.000 That's when it matters.

00:23:05.000 No, no, no, we need to start acting like the conversations we've already had.

00:23:08.000 Again, like Jimmy Dore, Crowder, Sticks, Hex and Hammer, all these other independent channels, I've already had a long time ago.

00:23:13.000 And when you go out to a restaurant, when you go out to, I'll tell you this, there was that big breaking story where the CDC lady, I think it was, said, there's a difference between dying from COVID and dying with COVID.

00:23:23.000 CNN picks it up and goes crazy.

00:23:25.000 Yo, we talked about that a year and a half ago.

00:23:27.000 So when you're out at the bar, and someone's saying, yeah, but did you hear how many people, you know, died today?

00:23:32.000 You can go, yeah, I mean, but you're not conflating with and for.

00:23:35.000 I mean, that was, they've already explained that.

00:23:37.000 Don't you watch, don't you pay attention?

00:23:39.000 Just stop acting like CNN is who should be setting the news cycle.

00:23:43.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:23:44.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:23:45.000 I mean, as you said, some of these things have been around.

00:23:48.000 I mean, there was an early period in COVID when nobody really knew what was going on.

00:23:52.000 And then once we got to like mid, you know, Summer 2020, things started to become clearer.

00:23:59.000 I think a lot of people lost faith in our institutions and our public health officials.

00:24:04.000 I'll say what happened for me.

00:24:06.000 When those 1,200 public health experts signed the letter that said, protests for racial justice are A-OK during COVID at a moment when people still couldn't even go to work.

00:24:17.000 And then at the end of the letter, it says, this is not to be confused for support of protests that are against lockdown measures.

00:24:24.000 I remember that.

00:24:25.000 I said, okay, I'm done.

00:24:27.000 And I think a lot of people were done at that point too.

00:24:30.000 So if you're a sheep, you're sitting there being like, shout out to Ethan Klein, H3 podcast, when he said, you don't even got to think about it.

00:24:38.000 I think that's what he said, right?

00:24:40.000 Like, you don't even got to think about it.

00:24:41.000 Yeah.

00:24:41.000 I never saw him say it.

00:24:42.000 I've heard you mention it a few times.

00:24:44.000 Yeah.

00:24:44.000 It's like, I guess on his podcast, he mentioned, you can go to the CDC website.

00:24:47.000 You don't even got to think about it.

00:24:48.000 They just tell you.

00:24:49.000 And it's like maybe you do but hey look I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being a sheep. I

00:24:54.000 want to make sure that's clear I'm not I'm not insulting people for being sheep. There are

00:24:57.000 a lot of people I'm good friends of mine, and I've had really interesting

00:25:00.000 philosophical discussions where I've had people say would I rather

00:25:03.000 Be the one who's in charge of organizing all of these people

00:25:09.000 Would I rather sit back, crack a beer, and watch the game and say, I'm going to enjoy life and enjoy my ignorance.

00:25:13.000 I'm like, yo, I can get, I get that.

00:25:15.000 Yeah.

00:25:15.000 I can, I can respect wanting to revel in ignorance.

00:25:18.000 I can understand that.

00:25:20.000 Personally, I should say this.

00:25:22.000 When I say respect it, I mean, I get that feeling.

00:25:26.000 I understand.

00:25:28.000 Personally, I think people need to, if they're cognizant of what's going on, speak up and stand up.

00:25:35.000 There are a lot of people who don't view it that way, and maybe don't have the ability to see what's really going on, and maybe just think to themselves, look, I wake up, I go to work, I try to feed my kids, I come home, I turn the TV on, they tell me what's up, and that's all I care about.

00:25:49.000 I mean, there are instances, for instance, right?

00:25:52.000 I'm a Christian.

00:25:54.000 So in the scriptures, it talks about, you know, Jesus is the good shepherd.

00:25:58.000 But part of what pastors are supposed to do is shepherd their flocks, right?

00:26:03.000 So in that context, I get, you know, a shepherd who feeds his sheep.

00:26:09.000 But in that context, the shepherd is working under the authority of the good shepherd And they're feeding from a source that provides all the nutrients that any of the sheep would need, right?

00:26:26.000 That's different than what we have.

00:26:28.000 We have awful shepherds.

00:26:30.000 We have shepherds in wolf's clothing, which is worse than a sheep in wolf's clothing.

00:26:36.000 Because if you get a sheep in wolf's clothing, The wolf may get one or two sheep before the rest scatter, but a shepherd in wolf's clothing will take all of them over the hill and none of them will know the difference.

00:26:49.000 Wait, I think you're mixing it up.

00:26:51.000 Wolf in shepherd's clothing?

00:26:53.000 Shepherd in wolf's clothing?

00:26:55.000 Yeah, sheep pretending to be the wolf.

00:26:57.000 I think we actually have sheep in shepherd's clothing.

00:27:02.000 I think we've gone so long without a real shepherd, and this could be even religious as well.

00:27:06.000 We've separated ourselves from any real leadership that finally one sheep looked around and was like, yo, the shepherd gets to eat whenever he wants, he gets to go wherever he wants.

00:27:17.000 Correct.

00:27:17.000 I'm gonna put on the shepherds, you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna carry around his you know, what is it?

00:27:21.000 What that sticks that staff and just tell him what to do.

00:27:24.000 And so you've got sheep leading sheep.

00:27:26.000 Yeah, the blind leading the blind.

00:27:27.000 Yeah, and that's the you know, we were just talking about it the the the white knights, the is that I guess simps.

00:27:33.000 The guys who are just like simple.

00:27:35.000 That's kind of what it means.

00:27:37.000 Yeah, that's not what it means.

00:27:39.000 You're simple.

00:27:40.000 I think that's the idea.

00:27:41.000 I think you're making that up.

00:27:42.000 I don't I don't know what else it would mean though.

00:27:43.000 Sim means something, I don't know.

00:27:44.000 It does.

00:27:45.000 But it just, you know, basically it's a guy who's like white knighting for some chick.

00:27:48.000 This is what we have in terms of our leadership.

00:27:50.000 It's not just about the woman, it's about the constituency.

00:27:53.000 It's about the politician being like, I'm just going to say whatever you want to hear.

00:27:57.000 Right.

00:27:58.000 Because hopefully that'll make you happy.

00:27:59.000 I think that you were talking about people wanting to drink beer and check out and watch

00:28:02.000 the game and like I get it, but I think that we've been groomed for this.

00:28:05.000 I think that the whole bread and circus thing, it's an ancient Roman tactic.

00:28:08.000 You want to keep the plebs happy. 1.00

00:28:09.000 You just make sure they have enough bread and they have enough entertainment.

00:28:11.000 Same with beer.

00:28:12.000 Now you go turn on TV and watch a sports football game or something, beer commercials, car commercials, get drunk, buy a car.

00:28:19.000 So like, it's not healthy to check out, especially when people that check out and then think they have some political clout by putting a sign in their yard and yelling at their neighbor about like, If you're gonna check out, check out.

00:28:29.000 Go away.

00:28:30.000 I guess to clarify what I was saying before about some people just don't mind being sheep and there's something wrong with it, is when you have a good shepherd, then your flock is protected and they're doing what they gotta do.

00:28:38.000 This country though, it was definitely founded on like, don't ever give up your rights.

00:28:42.000 Don't ever check out.

00:28:43.000 You are this process.

00:28:44.000 Right, but I'm not saying to give up your rights.

00:28:46.000 I'm saying, you know, there are people who, I love using the example of like a carpenter, it's like a regular trade job, or an electrician.

00:28:53.000 Let's say you're an electrician.

00:28:54.000 Man, you will run circles around me and explaining how all this stuff works.

00:28:58.000 I'm going to sit here and be like, I have no idea.

00:29:00.000 Right.

00:29:01.000 And I'll trust your expertise.

00:29:02.000 Right.

00:29:03.000 But at the same time, that electrician is going to say to me, I don't have time to read the news all day.

00:29:09.000 And this is really important stuff.

00:29:10.000 I can wire a house.

00:29:11.000 I can save your house from burning down.

00:29:13.000 I can fix a car.

00:29:14.000 I can do a lot of stuff.

00:29:15.000 I can actually, I've had electricians talk about wiring up crazy devices and supercharging remote control cars and doing really awesome stuff because they know how to do it.

00:29:24.000 So they need to rely on someone who's at the forefront of the conflicts in the world, the culture battles, journalists and politicians who are going to say, you got my back in terms of building the infrastructure and I'll make sure you're well informed and prepared for what comes next.

00:29:38.000 I can't expect them to be where we are.

00:29:40.000 That's what I mean when I say, you know, everybody's a leader in some respect, but when it comes to our actual political, military and media establishment, that leadership is in the gutter.

00:29:50.000 It is a cesspool.

00:29:51.000 Thoroughly discredited.

00:29:52.000 And I mean, I remember at one point I sent one of my boys a tweet from the CDC because his wife was pregnant at the time.

00:30:00.000 And it said something to the effect of, you know, are you considering getting vaccinated?

00:30:06.000 And these vaccines are now available for birthing people. 1.00

00:30:09.000 And I said, why would you trust a public health establishment that doesn't even know who the

00:30:14.000 category of person that can get pregnant, right? The exclusive category of person that can get 1.00

00:30:19.000 pregnant. And as I said, all of these institutions have discredited themselves over the past,

00:30:24.000 you know, two years. They'll blame it on alt-right. They'll blame it on Trump.

00:30:29.000 But it's no, you guys have done it.

00:30:31.000 And now you're feeling the backlash.

00:30:33.000 People are waking up to it.

00:30:34.000 Waffle Sensei chimed in in a super chat with the quote from Ethan Klein.

00:30:38.000 He said, the CDC is like this whole government body with scientists and ish that tell us what to do.

00:30:44.000 You don't have to think about it, dude.

00:30:46.000 Yes.

00:30:46.000 Wow.

00:30:46.000 Well, there you go.

00:30:47.000 Yeah.

00:30:48.000 That's dangerous, man.

00:30:49.000 Because it's remarkable to me that you can look at history with like asbestos.

00:30:55.000 Come on, it's not even hard to come up with an ad.

00:30:58.000 DDT is good for me.

00:30:59.000 Remember that?

00:31:00.000 There's a really awesome ad that was going viral.

00:31:02.000 It was a pregnant woman smoking cigarettes. 0.99

00:31:04.000 Low birth rate.

00:31:05.000 Wait.

00:31:06.000 Yeah, right.

00:31:07.000 Easy delivery.

00:31:08.000 Doctors recommend whatever cigarettes for expecting mothers. 0.96

00:31:11.000 I think Bill Maher even mentioned this too.

00:31:15.000 Maybe it was Bill Maher.

00:31:16.000 Maybe it wasn't.

00:31:17.000 He was saying that they used to drill mercury into your teeth.

00:31:20.000 They don't do that anymore.

00:31:21.000 Well, I mean, like, yeah, we would get the fillings, right?

00:31:23.000 Wasn't that, like, not even that long ago?

00:31:25.000 Did they did lead fillings?

00:31:27.000 Did they do that?

00:31:28.000 I don't know.

00:31:28.000 Yeah.

00:31:29.000 Yeah.

00:31:29.000 But they used to do they used to do a bunch of a bunch of stuff.

00:31:32.000 And all the time we decide, hey, that was maybe a bad idea.

00:31:37.000 We improve the science.

00:31:38.000 So to sit there and be like, you know, to quote Biden, the Tuskegee Airmen experiment.

00:31:44.000 No, but the Tuskegee experiments.

00:31:47.000 Yeah.

00:31:48.000 Like the government.

00:31:49.000 MKUltra.

00:31:50.000 That was real.

00:31:50.000 It wasn't an accident either.

00:31:51.000 That one was intentional.

00:31:52.000 I know, like, we know.

00:31:53.000 You don't just sit back and say the government is my friend.

00:31:56.000 I think the government is inherently utilitarian.

00:32:00.000 It cares about protecting itself.

00:32:02.000 Correct.

00:32:02.000 And it cares about maximizing output.

00:32:05.000 It constantly shocks me how quick people are to trust that the government has their best interest in mind because if you know anything about the government you're gonna know a little bit about like MKUltra and some of these other weird projects and creepy suspicious things the government's done.

00:32:18.000 I think that people tend to lump that into the whole Alex Jones paranoia basket but these are very real things that have definitely provably happened like the Tuskegee experience Very real.

00:32:26.000 Part of the reason there's so much vaccination hesitancy among that community.

00:32:30.000 And it's like, I completely understand why they remember what happened.

00:32:33.000 That was funny to me because when the New York vaccine mandates were all happening, there were Black Lives Matter activists protesting it.

00:32:40.000 And one of the things I heard them say was like, they were like, we remember what the government did to us.

00:32:45.000 You're not going to just tell us we have to do this, this, this ish.

00:32:48.000 You know what I mean?

00:32:48.000 Yeah.

00:32:49.000 And I remember, it's funny because the last time I came, I was talking about, again, another article.

00:32:55.000 And I think the title, the title of it was, well, Kendi and Biden save No Vax Blacks from Jab Crow attacks. 0.98

00:33:02.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:33:03.000 I remember that.

00:33:05.000 And Kendi actually answered that question.

00:33:06.000 Someone asked him about the vaccine mandates.

00:33:09.000 And of course, I knew he did what I knew he would do, which was pun.

00:33:11.000 You say, oh, well, well, they're really not racist, even though they have a disproportionate impact, because Blacks and Hispanics and Latinx can't get the vaccine. 0.66

00:33:22.000 They don't have access. 0.87

00:33:23.000 One, that's a lie.

00:33:24.000 Two, that would make it even more racist if you're holding Black and Hispanic people accountable for getting a medical treatment that you admit they don't have access to.

00:33:36.000 But Again, I knew that that's where he was going to go because he's making way too much money from, you know, guilty white liberals to criticize them and call them, you know, the forbidden R word.

00:33:47.000 But yeah, it's for me, one of the big things, the word that keeps coming back to my mind as it relates to COVID stuff is authority.

00:33:55.000 This virus has made the populace give up authority in areas of their private life, their medical lives, that we've never considered before, and the government has been more than willing to take it on.

00:34:11.000 So now all of the my body, my body, my choice people are now like, no, you must get the vaccine.

00:34:16.000 You must.

00:34:16.000 And if you don't, you're a bad person.

00:34:18.000 The people who would never stigmatize anybody for having AIDS or HIV, regardless of what type of personal behavior they engaged in, are now saying no. 0.84

00:34:27.000 If you get COVID and you're unvaccinated, you should die and you shouldn't get medical treatment.

00:34:30.000 So it's basically flipped all of, you know, people's principles right on their head.

00:34:37.000 I gotta pull up this article from Post Millennial.

00:34:39.000 This one is, you're gonna love it.

00:34:41.000 You're gonna love it. 0.99

00:34:42.000 Watch elderly masked white women yell Black Lives Matter while assaulting black men for not wearing a mask. 0.99

00:34:48.000 That's it. 0.98

00:34:49.000 That's the story.

00:34:50.000 This is, I can't believe this is a video.

00:34:52.000 I don't know exactly where the video came from, but I saw it on libs of TikTok on Twitter.

00:34:58.000 And you have, you can see these women. 0.98

00:35:00.000 Apparently what happened was this black dude gets in an elevator.

00:35:03.000 He's not wearing a mask. 0.77

00:35:04.000 These two white women wearing masks yell at him to get out. 0.98

00:35:07.000 And he's like, no, I was here first.

00:35:09.000 You get out.

00:35:10.000 They start attacking him.

00:35:12.000 They hit him.

00:35:12.000 And he's like, yo, you hit me.

00:35:14.000 And then all of a sudden she goes, black lives matter. 0.89

00:35:16.000 And then the other woman goes, black lives matter. 1.00

00:35:18.000 It's like, It's like, yo, you hit a black dude on camera and you think yelling that is gonna help you? 0.72

00:35:25.000 These ladies are holding up their phones, they know all about the Karen thing, but here's the funny thing. 0.89

00:35:31.000 These are the mask wearers. 0.98

00:35:33.000 They're not supposed to be the Karens, right? 1.00

00:35:35.000 Or are they?

00:35:36.000 Like, it's a weird thing that happened because the Karens were the people who were the right wing, you know, the Trumpers, the anti-vaxxers.

00:35:42.000 They were the ones who refused to wear the masks in supermarkets.

00:35:44.000 Now it's literally, it's flipped.

00:35:48.000 The Karens are the people wearing the masks. 1.00

00:35:50.000 We saw that lady on the airplane when she hit the guy, I think, or she spit in his mouth.

00:35:54.000 She spit in his mouth. 1.00

00:35:57.000 Yo, but I just want to, I think, you know, outside of that, are we really at the point where old white liberals think they can just yell Black Lives Matter after hitting a black guy and that, like, that's their strategy? 0.97

00:36:10.000 It absolves them, yeah.

00:36:11.000 I remember a girl driving her car in a crowd of people and it was just like a black girl. 0.60

00:36:17.000 I don't call people, I don't like calling people black and white firstly because we're not white or black.

00:36:20.000 We have skin colors, and it's ridiculous to call people black and white, but this woman was driving her car, and people were like banging on the car, and then they realized that she was a black girl, and they were like, oh, everyone, stop!

00:36:31.000 Let her through! 0.71

00:36:32.000 Black lives matter!

00:36:33.000 I don't remember exactly how that played out, but that was disturbing, man.

00:36:36.000 I mean, this is the signal that we've sent through the culture, I mean, particularly from, you know, summer 2020.

00:36:43.000 Is if you say Black Lives Matter or you put up your little sign in front of your house or in your business, it makes people know that you're on the side of the righteous.

00:36:54.000 Sometimes I would joke with my wife and I said, to me, again, to borrow some sort of biblical imagery, it's like smearing the blood on the doorpost so that death angel passes over so that people know, look, I'm one of the good ones.

00:37:06.000 I think black lives matter.

00:37:07.000 Let me play this because the video didn't pull up, but I want to say, listen to this.

00:37:12.000 Get out! 0.98

00:37:37.000 I'm gonna hear it again.

00:37:38.000 Black lives matter.

00:37:41.000 Stop recording, I don't know you.

00:37:43.000 Yo, you need to stop.

00:37:44.000 I'm not getting out, I was here.

00:37:47.000 Yo.

00:37:48.000 Wow.

00:37:49.000 Like, I would understand if there's like two white people fighting

00:37:53.000 and they're filming each other and then one of them yells Black Lives Matter,

00:37:56.000 trying to be like, if anybody sees this, I'm on the side of the cult.

00:38:01.000 but they hit a black guy and then yelled it and I'm like that makes it ten times worse and That's incredible. 1.00

00:38:07.000 I think this is like peak virtue signal because they're like, I'm going to actually assault someone who's actually black, but I'm going to say these magic words and nothing bad will happen to me. 1.00

00:38:18.000 I also think this is one of the unspoken symptoms of long COVID quote unquote.

00:38:23.000 The neuroses and the anxiety and the fear have done almost as much damage as, if not more damage than the disease itself, because this is how people act when they see You know, like you just see a face.

00:38:37.000 Oh my gosh.

00:38:38.000 You know, that type of anxiety is not good.

00:38:42.000 Look at this picture.

00:38:43.000 Let's just pull up the article again.

00:38:44.000 Like, look at this face, man.

00:38:47.000 It's crazy to me that I just, this lady's got no chill.

00:38:52.000 I know.

00:38:53.000 What you're saying is so true about long COVID having this psychological effect, because you can't quantify it.

00:38:57.000 Like, you can quantify the bank account and, like, inflation, and we can all agree and point at the number, but with psychosis, you got to just, you see it play out, and you got to kind of call it out when you see it.

00:39:07.000 It's going to be unpacking decades of trauma for people.

00:39:11.000 And part of this is driven by policy, right?

00:39:13.000 Just like the cities that impose the vaccine passport mandates, Now you're putting five to 120 pound year old young women, um, in the position of playing bouncer at a restaurant. 1.00

00:39:28.000 And if you do that in a city that's big enough, you're going to have some bad reactions because everybody's already on edge.

00:39:33.000 So now when I come, you know, let's say I'm out to celebrate, you know, my, my mom's birthday and I'm in a party of 20 and everybody else gets in and now you're saying, sorry, sir, you can't come in because you don't have the passport.

00:39:44.000 And I'm just like, well, look here, I got a negative test.

00:39:46.000 Oh, we don't, we don't take that.

00:39:48.000 Now you're setting people up to have very, very bad interactions with people over, again, policies that obviously are not working the way that politicians intended.

00:39:59.000 Within my soul, there is this feeling watching this video of these ladies. 0.98

00:40:03.000 And like to express the pure like, it is a perfect spiral of all of the BS.

00:40:11.000 It is the leftist violence, it is the mask Karens, it is the COVID policies, all just compressed into one point, ready to just burst.

00:40:20.000 Into one elevator.

00:40:22.000 Into one elevator.

00:40:23.000 And I'm just like, if there is any video you need to share with your friends and family, people often say to me, Tim, my parents don't want to listen, they don't believe it.

00:40:32.000 Just go to PostMillennial, pull this video, pull this out, get the tweet, send it to them and ask them what they think.

00:40:38.000 And then they're going to be like, whose side are you on?

00:40:41.000 The mask people who are hitting a black guy and yelling Black Lives Matter, who apparently are the Black Lives Matter supporters?

00:40:49.000 Or the dude who's refusing to wear the mask? 0.98

00:40:51.000 What the heck?

00:40:53.000 What I find fascinating about it is it creates this position where if you're intellectually honest, if you're principled, it's really, really simple.

00:41:02.000 I don't care about the race of the guy.

00:41:03.000 They shouldn't have attacked him.

00:41:04.000 I'm not a fan of mask mandates. 1.00

00:41:05.000 These people are crazy.

00:41:07.000 But if you're on the side of Black Lives Matter or the Mask Karens, you're in a pickle here. 0.96

00:41:12.000 This guy, I did notice he seemed to flick at the girl right when the video started.

00:41:16.000 It's kind of out of context because it starts in the middle of the argument.

00:41:18.000 For all I know, he could have screamed at him before they started recording.

00:41:21.000 Probably unlikely.

00:41:21.000 Yeah, but come on.

00:41:22.000 He kind of flicks, so I don't want to blame either one of them for starting it.

00:41:25.000 It looked like they were just kind of pushing at each other.

00:41:28.000 You listen to the dude filming and he's chilled out.

00:41:30.000 He's confused.

00:41:31.000 Yeah, he's like, what are you doing?

00:41:32.000 Why are you doing this?

00:41:33.000 They're angry.

00:41:34.000 Yes.

00:41:35.000 Yeah.

00:41:36.000 That's that anger, man.

00:41:37.000 And he's also like stuck in the elevator, has to get to where he's going.

00:41:39.000 So he's like, dude, I can't.

00:41:40.000 This is beyond me at this point.

00:41:41.000 This poor guy, man.

00:41:44.000 This is like one other video that I really like to bring up is when the guy was following the woman around the supermarket and he said, is anyone else mad that we all have to wear masks and she isn't wearing hers?

00:41:54.000 Because it's not about COVID.

00:41:56.000 It's about authority and about doing as you're told.

00:41:58.000 It's obedience.

00:41:59.000 It's funny.

00:42:02.000 I call masks, obedience masks, particularly in front of my kids.

00:42:07.000 My daughter, who's six, will always respond, it's not an obedience mask, dad.

00:42:12.000 So I mean, it's like a running joke.

00:42:13.000 My wife probably doesn't like it, but I mean, that's really what it is.

00:42:18.000 It's about compliance.

00:42:19.000 It's not about the virus at this point.

00:42:21.000 It's about I feel like I have, well, I feel like I have to wear it.

00:42:26.000 And I feel bad when I see people who are flouting these laws or these mandates or these orders that I feel like I'm stuck with.

00:42:33.000 And that's really what it is at this point.

00:42:34.000 Going back to what we were talking about with like Bill Maher and stuff.

00:42:36.000 You know why I'm not a fan of that conversation?

00:42:39.000 I'm willing to bet that Bill Maher and Barry Weiss, they look at the polling.

00:42:43.000 They're like, parents are tired of this.

00:42:46.000 The polling for Biden is in the gutter.

00:42:48.000 I can tell when the ship is sinking.

00:42:49.000 I'm getting off.

00:42:50.000 But Bill's interesting.

00:42:51.000 I remember 2001, after 9-11, he was like a vocal advocate for, like, against the establishment.

00:42:57.000 It was really a show.

00:42:58.000 I think it was Politically Correct.

00:43:00.000 And he was, like, relentless.

00:43:02.000 And they canceled it.

00:43:03.000 They canceled his show.

00:43:04.000 Like, he was, like, a full-on, like, what's-the-guy's-name, said-the-seven-words, that comedian.

00:43:09.000 George Carlin. He was Carlin, like full on the embodiment of George Carlin. I still get that from him.

00:43:14.000 But then he was gone. Then he came back. Yeah. And now a little bit toned down. Real time's a little more toned down.

00:43:20.000 He's getting older, but I still love that. I feel that like, that rebel in him. I gotta be honest, you know, I work a

00:43:28.000 lot.

00:43:29.000 I do the morning show, I do the night show, and with Luke leaving the show, I get it.

00:43:33.000 Luke does his own show, too.

00:43:35.000 He's got his channel, and so he was working nearly as much as I was, but, you know, to a certain degree, like, we're also running the business and expanding, so there's a little bit extra, there's a bit more that I do, but now I'm thinking, you know, Luke's on the road, he's gonna be in Florida, he's gonna be working only his morning shift, he's got all that free time at night.

00:43:51.000 I can totally understand, at a certain point, you're like, Yo, I've worked so hard endlessly for the past several years.

00:43:58.000 For me, I'm like, no, no, no, we gotta keep pushing, we gotta keep fighting because there's things that I care about and things I believe in.

00:44:02.000 Bill Maher, however, I can already tell.

00:44:06.000 He's a boomer.

00:44:07.000 How old is he?

00:44:07.000 60 or something?

00:44:08.000 62, I think.

00:44:09.000 62.

00:44:09.000 He's also Ashkenazi Jew and not Polish.

00:44:12.000 I was looking up his, he's not Polish.

00:44:14.000 I don't know why that's relevant to what I'm talking about.

00:44:16.000 Ashkenazi Jew mother and Irish father, just so you know.

00:44:19.000 Not Polish that I know of.

00:44:21.000 Well, Ashkenazi is Eastern European, isn't it? 0.89

00:44:23.000 That's what I'm talking about!

00:44:24.000 He's got some Putin in him!

00:44:26.000 Irrelevant to my point.

00:44:28.000 My point is that it's very obvious he's checked out.

00:44:31.000 It's very obvious, like when the Covington scandal happened, he came out and he was just wrong about it.

00:44:36.000 And I'm like, yo, we corrected the story a week ago.

00:44:39.000 CNN came out a week ago, and Bill Maher's a week late, still wrong, and people were cheering for it.

00:44:44.000 And I'm just like, I don't think this show is actually about what's true and correct.

00:44:49.000 I think it's about what's polling.

00:44:50.000 And I think, you know, with a story like that, it's entirely possible he was like, I know it's not true, but this joke's gonna play really, really well with this audience, so let's do it.

00:44:59.000 A year later, we're supposed to be happy that, as the ship's sinking, we all got off the ship.

00:45:05.000 Let me put it this way.

00:45:07.000 Try not to be too disrespectful to people who are at least saying something good.

00:45:10.000 But there's the Titanic, and it's coming down, and as soon as the iceberg hits, we all said, hey everybody, hit an iceberg, time to get in the lifeboat. 0.95

00:45:20.000 And everyone else said, shut up, you crazy right-winger conspiracy theorist, there's no iceberg, nothing can sink the Titanic. 0.89

00:45:25.000 So we're like, so you guys don't care, we'll take this lifeboat? 1.00

00:45:27.000 Get out of here, you crazy! 0.99

00:45:28.000 He said, alright, we'll take it. 0.99

00:45:30.000 Now, as the ship's crumbling and sinking, they're all going like, oh, uh, we, we need lifeboats too.

00:45:36.000 We've been saying it the whole time.

00:45:38.000 And I'm just like, the only reason they're saying it is because it's safe for them to say it now because the polling's in their favor.

00:45:44.000 They weren't brave enough to speak out and risk getting canceled or fired or insulted or smeared at the time, but they're willing to say it now.

00:45:50.000 So when Bill Maher comes out and he does the virtue signal joke about vaccination, and I'm like, ah, They did market research and found we were right the whole time, and now they're realizing there's an opportunity for him.

00:46:00.000 He got COVID.

00:46:02.000 That changed him a lot after he got COVID.

00:46:04.000 Yeah, he got vaccinated, and then he got COVID and was like, what is this all about?

00:46:08.000 And then he kind of changed.

00:46:11.000 Let me pull up this video.

00:46:12.000 Oh boy.

00:46:13.000 This one's going to get us in trouble.

00:46:14.000 So we got this from Nicholas Fondacaro.

00:46:17.000 He's over at MRC Newsbusters.

00:46:21.000 He says, how dare you?

00:46:22.000 Whoopi Goldberg ridiculously pops off against Bill Maher for anti-mask jokes, tells him to stay out of society.

00:46:28.000 Sarah Haines joins in by saying masks will be a permanent new normal, like airport security after 9-11.

00:46:33.000 I may never feel comfortable without a mask.

00:46:36.000 Even after the Bill Maher-Barry Weiss thing comes out and the liberals are like, we're not going to be doing this, the view is still doubling down.

00:46:43.000 But I'm bringing this up for a different reason.

00:46:46.000 I want you all to listen very closely.

00:46:47.000 You ready?

00:46:48.000 I'm gonna play that one more time.

00:46:50.000 That's not really funny to people who've lost their kids to this vaccine or people who've lost family members or dear

00:47:05.000 friends to this.

00:47:07.000 It's just, you know...

00:47:08.000 I'm gonna play that one more time.

00:47:10.000 One more time for you guys.

00:47:12.000 You are...

00:47:13.000 That's not really funny to people who've lost their kids to this vaccine or people who've lost family members or dear friends to this.

00:47:23.000 It's just, you know, listen, nobody on the planet really wants to go through this.

00:47:30.000 You know, everybody responds to that.

00:47:33.000 When I tweeted it saying, whoa, Whoopi Goldberg said, losing your kids to the vaccine?

00:47:40.000 And everyone said, you know what she meant.

00:47:42.000 You know what she meant.

00:47:44.000 And they always do that.

00:47:45.000 And I'm like, if we were a serious people in this country, I would.

00:47:51.000 But she says nobody wants this and nobody wants to go through with this.

00:47:55.000 Did she mean to say virus?

00:47:57.000 Yeah.

00:47:58.000 How do you know, Ian?

00:48:00.000 How do you know what she was thinking?

00:48:03.000 Only because I've seen her work, and I feel like that's what she meant to say and that she misspoke.

00:48:07.000 This is a big problem we have in the information space, exemplified by a tweet I made about a rumor going around that a school had put litter boxes in the bathroom for furries.

00:48:19.000 I quoted a woman who said that she had heard a school had put litter boxes in their bathroom for kids who identified as furries.

00:48:26.000 And I linked to a story where it says Superintendent denies this.

00:48:31.000 And everybody interpreted the tweet however they wanted to.

00:48:35.000 Many people on the right interpreted it to mean the story was true, and they were doing this.

00:48:40.000 Many interpreted it to mean that people are insane for believing it.

00:48:44.000 And many interpreted it to believe that I was actually personally believing the story had happened and it was true without fact-checking.

00:48:52.000 That's the problem with you, Ian, saying you know what Whoopi Goldberg meant when she said this.

00:48:56.000 Oh, I wouldn't, like, risk my life on it, but that's my guess.

00:48:59.000 I think it's fair.

00:49:00.000 No, no, I do agree though.

00:49:00.000 I do agree though.

00:49:01.000 I think she meant to say virus or whatever, but the problem is right now, what would they do if it was like Donald Trump making a statement?

00:49:09.000 If Donald Trump came out and said, did you see this?

00:49:12.000 Whoopi Goldberg says kids being lost to the vaccine.

00:49:16.000 What's going on with the view?

00:49:18.000 The media would say false, never happened.

00:49:21.000 But then someone will take the clip of her saying it.

00:49:23.000 And they'll play it, and she literally did say people have lost their kids to the vaccine.

00:49:28.000 Now, look, don't make me get into it, YouTube.

00:49:30.000 I'm not here to make a medical conversation.

00:49:33.000 People can talk to their doctors as YouTube mandates we say or whatever.

00:49:37.000 The point is, I just thought this was really fascinating that she literally said this.

00:49:41.000 No one on the show corrects her.

00:49:42.000 As far as I know, they never came out and said, we really need to clarify that statement for national television.

00:49:47.000 Because as far as I could tell, if you were to take a transcript of this and just show what she was saying, She's criticizing vaccines.

00:49:55.000 She just got COVID, right?

00:49:56.000 Like a couple weeks ago or something?

00:49:58.000 So she's probably really twisted about this whole thing.

00:50:01.000 And she's got a job to do, going on The View, but obviously something's going on in her head that that came out.

00:50:07.000 Well, it's not even that.

00:50:08.000 I mean, the whole segment itself is bonkers.

00:50:10.000 Where they're like, that one woman, what's her name? 0.96

00:50:13.000 Sarah Haynes?

00:50:13.000 She's like, I'm not gonna leave my house ever, even after the pandemic.

00:50:16.000 It's like, are you trying to one-up the other crazy Karen ladies? 1.00

00:50:20.000 Is this new?

00:50:20.000 Is this a recent?

00:50:21.000 Yeah, this is from today.

00:50:23.000 It's like, you know, people are constantly trying to one-up each other, you know?

00:50:26.000 So you get some woman who's like, I like the mask. 1.00

00:50:29.000 You got, remember when, wasn't it David Hogg who was like, I'm not going to take the mask off because people will think I'm a Republican or something like that.

00:50:37.000 And that goes to what we've been saying, right?

00:50:39.000 A lot of this is virtue signaling.

00:50:41.000 It's, I need to do something so that people don't associate me with the wrong people.

00:50:47.000 And if that is what is driving any part of your public health response, We're in trouble because I mean, one of the things I heard and again, COVID has just scrambled everything in American sort of political life.

00:51:00.000 It's when it first hit, why isn't Trump doing enough? 0.90

00:51:04.000 Then it's Trump is a, is a, is a, you know, fascist and a dictator and he's going to do too much. 0.91

00:51:11.000 And now it's I want, I want the government to tell me what to do, who I can have at my house on the 4th of July or Thanksgiving or Christmas. 0.94

00:51:19.000 And I don't think people know what to think.

00:51:21.000 And I do think many brains have been scrambled. 0.93

00:51:24.000 You know, talking about, you know, I just did this stupid YouTube disclaimer thing, because like, we don't give medical advice here on this show. 0.99

00:51:29.000 Go speak to your doctor about what's right for you. 0.56

00:51:31.000 I wonder what people, how people are going to respond when all of this implodes, because it's already starting to implode.

00:51:37.000 I mentioned several times, I'm like, I don't even know what the rules are anymore because the media, the news has reported such crazy things.

00:51:43.000 Like the New York Times, Israeli study says that repeated vaccination could actually increase your chance of catching the virus or whatever.

00:51:51.000 Something like that.

00:51:52.000 It could reduce the immune response.

00:51:53.000 I'm like, No, no, no.

00:51:54.000 And I'm like, can I talk about that?

00:51:56.000 Can I say that?

00:51:56.000 Because YouTube will ban us.

00:51:57.000 I don't know, man.

00:51:58.000 I read it in the New York Times.

00:51:59.000 Go talk to a doctor.

00:51:59.000 Don't get your advice from me.

00:52:00.000 But what happens when regular people who, like Hassan, the lefty streamer, he refers to people as ivermectin truthers.

00:52:08.000 How do people who watch him react when all of this implodes and the narrative crumbles and then just we realize once again who was actually corrected?

00:52:18.000 Are people going to be mad at YouTube and these big tech companies, feel like they've been deceived?

00:52:22.000 When will people start to I know that we do.

00:52:25.000 But when will regular people start to look at Twitter and be like, you know, these people are evil, they're manipulating us, they're lying about what's going on, and they're controlling the flow of information?

00:52:34.000 Probably never, because, like, we just, last week talked about only 2% of the American population even uses Twitter.

00:52:40.000 Most people are not savvy.

00:52:42.000 Facebook.

00:52:43.000 Maybe Facebook, a little more.

00:52:44.000 Everybody's got Facebook.

00:52:45.000 Do they?

00:52:46.000 Yeah, well, not everybody, but a lot of people.

00:52:48.000 Younger people tend not to.

00:52:49.000 But TikTok, even.

00:52:50.000 We're banned from TikTok.

00:52:51.000 Wow.

00:52:52.000 Yeah.

00:52:53.000 I don't know why.

00:52:53.000 I don't know.

00:52:54.000 I think it's because we had Alex Jones on.

00:52:56.000 Yeah.

00:52:56.000 I mean, my experience and I'll say this sort of from the race angle.

00:53:02.000 I've seen so many stories that have blown up that have been complete hoaxes.

00:53:06.000 And there's always a remnant of people who hold on to it for dear life.

00:53:10.000 I mean, I know the one that comes to mind is, you know, the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson.

00:53:16.000 and the whole hands up, don't shoot thing that went sort of international.

00:53:20.000 And then Barack Obama and Eric Holder's DOJ did their investigation and they found,

00:53:26.000 they couldn't find a single witness who had sort of testimony or an interview

00:53:33.000 that corroborated the forensic evidence that showed that Michael Brown was shot

00:53:37.000 with his hands up in a position of surrender.

00:53:39.000 I mean, I read through the entire report.

00:53:41.000 Now, there are still politicians, I think Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris,

00:53:45.000 who every time Michael Brown's birthday comes around, they talk about it as if he was murdered in cold blood.

00:53:51.000 So some people will never let go of that. 0.95

00:53:54.000 He's evil, man.

00:53:55.000 Yeah, and when you see... I mean, I think there was a study last year that showed that people who identify as liberal and very liberal overestimate the number of police shootings of unarmed black men. 0.97

00:54:08.000 I mean, the very liberal thing is like between a thousand and ten thousand, so... Somebody did a video, I can't remember who it was, it might have been Vice, where they went around L.A.

00:54:16.000 and asked people How many black people do you think have been killed by police in the past year?

00:54:21.000 They went to the Venice skate park and these these skater guys they were like 500, 1000, 10,000.

00:54:25.000 What was it like 13?

00:54:26.000 Unarmed?

00:54:26.000 a thousand, 10,000, what was it like 13?

00:54:30.000 Unarmed? Yeah, it's typically in that range.

00:54:33.000 And even, I think most people would vastly overestimate the percentage of

00:54:37.000 sort of police shooting fatalities that even involve Black people. 0.55

00:54:41.000 people. 0.73

00:54:42.000 On average, it's about 25%.

00:54:44.000 45% of police shooting fatalities are white people, typically white men. 0.84

00:54:49.000 But if you read, if you were someone that came from Mars, you would think only black men get shot by the cops and only white blondes go missing.

00:54:58.000 Now what if you're a 10-year-old in 2008, you're on Facebook and BuzzFeed pops up and the only thing you see in your Facebook feed for 10 years is police brutality videos.

00:55:09.000 Now it's 2018, you're voting in the midterm for the first time and you're probably screaming like, Cops are going around hunting people down.

00:55:17.000 Using terms like genocide.

00:55:18.000 I mean, we have been primed and unless you're a person who can think critically, this is where being a sheep is so dangerous.

00:55:27.000 Because if you just take the word of CNN or MSNBC or even for that period of time, the whole Colin Kaepernick thing was hot.

00:55:35.000 ESPN, you are being fed by low information journalists, quote

00:55:39.000 unquote, and political analysts and commentators. And what you're being fed basically a synthetic grass. And if you

00:55:46.000 feed a sheep, synthetic grass, they're gonna die. Period.

00:55:50.000 Yeah, man. I think about this, the social media problem. I I really do think Twitter is one of the biggest causes of these problems, of everything we're experiencing.

00:56:01.000 The rapid spread of decontextualized information, whether intentionally false or otherwise.

00:56:11.000 The Whoopi Goldberg clip.

00:56:13.000 The reason I wanted to highlight this and talk about her misspeaking is because they never corrected it.

00:56:17.000 Right.

00:56:17.000 And so what could happen now is I guarantee you there will be people who will clip her saying that and they're going to be like breaking Whoopi Goldberg criticizes the vaccine.

00:56:25.000 And she literally said it.

00:56:26.000 She did.

00:56:27.000 And it makes sense to me that that would be a kind of a Freudian slip.

00:56:30.000 But at the same time, I really hate when people assume they know what other people are thinking.

00:56:34.000 Because we don't even understand what we're thinking ourselves half the time.

00:56:37.000 Communicating is not perfect between humans.

00:56:40.000 Talking, saying the things that you actually think is very challenging.

00:56:43.000 So I'll give her the benefit of the doubt a little bit, but the fact that no one corrected her on this, somebody should've been like, no, the dying of the virus. 0.99

00:56:49.000 Yeah, what a bunch of weak minds.

00:56:50.000 No offense, girls or guys or whoever's on that show, to not correct her on that. 0.98

00:56:53.000 No, listen to your co-hosts and correct them when they misspeak.

00:56:56.000 It's crazy, isn't it?

00:56:57.000 Nobody wanted to speak up and be like, Whoopi, Whoopi, did you mean... Did you... Like, when you said Wolf and Shepard's mother, I was like, wait, did you mean... I'm like, hey, we're having a real conversation.

00:57:06.000 I'll ask you to clarify.

00:57:07.000 It's no big deal.

00:57:08.000 They could have been like, Whoopi, did you mean the virus?

00:57:10.000 You said vaccine.

00:57:11.000 She would have been like, oh! 0.99

00:57:12.000 Yeah, of course.

00:57:12.000 Right, yeah.

00:57:13.000 Okay, great.

00:57:14.000 Now that clips out.

00:57:16.000 I love what you just said about how Twitter might be making people nuts.

00:57:18.000 I just made a video on Minds about this.

00:57:20.000 First video I've made in a while about tone.

00:57:22.000 And I think tone has been lost.

00:57:23.000 And basically as a human society, we're evolving our communication abilities.

00:57:26.000 Then we developed the phone.

00:57:27.000 And we were able to communicate via vocal vibration.

00:57:30.000 Then all of a sudden, we developed internet video.

00:57:32.000 And we can communicate.

00:57:33.000 But people have fallen back into text again.

00:57:35.000 Like they're sending letters again.

00:57:36.000 And it's driving them.

00:57:37.000 It's like the Stone Age, man.

00:57:38.000 Get out.

00:57:38.000 Keep moving forward.

00:57:39.000 Do not fall back into text.

00:57:41.000 You're missing the tone.

00:57:42.000 I think Twitter is awful.

00:57:44.000 It's the text.

00:57:45.000 If there's video conversation, I'm all for it.

00:57:47.000 But as soon as people type, like it's 1911.

00:57:50.000 But what's the alternative, right?

00:57:52.000 You know, I've been thinking about this.

00:57:54.000 The internet allows shows like this.

00:57:56.000 It allows us to communicate with each other.

00:57:57.000 It allows us to fact check and challenge the establishment more than ever before.

00:58:00.000 But it also gives the establishment the ability to propagandize and manipulate better than ever before.

00:58:05.000 True, yeah.

00:58:06.000 And I mean those are the trade-offs that come with any sort of complex system or any public policy or any advancement in technology.

00:58:13.000 It's always going to be trade-offs.

00:58:15.000 The question is net-net is it do we think it's to our benefit as a society or is it to our detriment?

00:58:22.000 That's a good question.

00:58:23.000 I think it's clear it's a benefit, and that's why they're trying so hard to censor everything and control the flow of information.

00:58:28.000 Because you want to induce yourself with information, whether it's right or wrong, and a strong mind can wield all sorts of information without believing it, and that you have to, but you can also be brainwashed.

00:58:40.000 Even the strongest of minds, if you induce yourself with enough false narrative, it can start to change you.

00:58:44.000 You know, we're susceptible.

00:58:46.000 So how do you balance that?

00:58:48.000 How do you balance it?

00:58:49.000 I mean, for me, part of this goes to the importance of education, right?

00:58:56.000 Starting for kids, but I see education as equal parts scholarship and discipleship, but also a lifelong process, not something that ends in 12th grade when you turn 18.

00:59:07.000 So part of it, I just have a number of filters, right?

00:59:10.000 I always try to get a comment in context.

00:59:13.000 So whenever possible, I look for a longer stream of thought if it's a clip video.

00:59:19.000 I always, I have different sort of areas of absolute truth.

00:59:24.000 So no matter how many people line up and tell me that Caitlyn Jenner is a woman, I'm not going to call a person who is a biological male a she.

00:59:34.000 And I know that may get me banned from certain platforms, but it is what it is.

00:59:38.000 So I'm just trying to keep my feet firmly planted on the ground and not lose track of reality.

00:59:44.000 Because when people control what you say, inevitably they will control what you think.

00:59:49.000 Which brings us to our next story from Fox Business.

00:59:52.000 Hello everyone!

00:59:53.000 Meet the new boss!

00:59:54.000 Same as the old boss.

00:59:55.000 Trump Truth Social developing content moderation practices to ensure family-friendly community.

01:00:02.000 That actually sounds like it will be more strict than Twitter.

01:00:05.000 And they go on to say that they're going to be using the Hive artificial intelligence.

01:00:10.000 TMTG is partnering with Hive, a Series D startup providing automated solutions through cloud-based artificial intelligence for understanding images, videos, and text content.

01:00:19.000 Hive's technology provides automated content moderation across video, image, text, and audio.

01:00:24.000 I'm gonna tell you what, it ain't gonna work.

01:00:27.000 Donald Trump is going to have a more censorious platform than Twitter and many of these other websites.

01:00:32.000 Now Twitter, you know, we'll see.

01:00:34.000 But artificial intelligence moderation can easily be bypassed.

01:00:38.000 Maybe not easily easily, but easily enough.

01:00:42.000 So what's the end result?

01:00:43.000 Does Donald Trump think, does Jason Miller of Getter think, people are going to be leaving Twitter, which is censorious, to go to other platforms that are censorious in other ways?

01:00:54.000 I just don't see it happening.

01:00:56.000 I see people being like, okay, here's what'll happen.

01:00:59.000 Instead of following Trump, you'll sign up for a truth social account and Follow Trump there.

01:01:04.000 And then when you want to follow the MAGA crowd, you'll sign up on Getter.

01:01:07.000 And so you know where this leads us to?

01:01:09.000 It leads us back to GeoCities.

01:01:11.000 When everyone just has their own website.

01:01:13.000 They just make it, you click it, it's 15 bucks, bam.

01:01:15.000 And actually I think you get a free account, it's got a little ad box appears on it.

01:01:18.000 That's where we're going.

01:01:19.000 It's like, you might as well not even have social media at this point.

01:01:22.000 Because everybody's making their own platform.

01:01:23.000 Everyone's going to have crazy rules.

01:01:25.000 Or maybe, I don't know, Fediverse is the answer.

01:01:29.000 That'll come along with it.

01:01:30.000 But this one, I'll throw this one to you, Ian.

01:01:33.000 How do you feel about Donald Trump using an artificial intelligence to be arguably more censorious than even Twitter is?

01:01:40.000 I'm trying to find if the code is free or open source.

01:01:43.000 It's Mastodon.

01:01:44.000 They spun up Mastodon, but it's Hive because then they can tack on proprietary stuff onto a free software network and you've got an amalgamation of free code and private code.

01:01:54.000 And so the entire network isn't free.

01:01:56.000 I think Hive is proprietary.

01:01:58.000 I'm going to just imagine it is because I cannot find their code base.

01:02:01.000 And that's extremely disturbing.

01:02:02.000 That AI could be doing anything and you won't know what it's doing or what it's commanded to do.

01:02:06.000 But Trump?

01:02:07.000 I mean, like, that's the funny thing about it, right?

01:02:09.000 It's the red, white, and blue.

01:02:10.000 You go to Truth.Social, it's red, white, and blue. 0.97

01:02:13.000 It's a bunch of fascists. 0.57

01:02:14.000 And I talk about this, like, nationalism is like fascism.

01:02:16.000 It's not the same thing, nationalism.

01:02:18.000 But when you whip up nationalist frenzy with corporations like Truth.Social, that's fascist.

01:02:23.000 I mean, red, white, and blue on a social network, that's fascist.

01:02:25.000 Why is that fascist?

01:02:25.000 It has nothing to do with the United States.

01:02:27.000 It's a private company.

01:02:28.000 It has nothing to do with the United States.

01:02:30.000 But what does that have to do with fascism, Ian?

01:02:31.000 They're trying to invoke national fervor to get people to sign up for a private company.

01:02:36.000 For which country?

01:02:37.000 France, Russia, or the U.S.?

01:02:38.000 Obviously the United States.

01:02:39.000 It's Donald Trump.

01:02:40.000 Come on, man.

01:02:41.000 Are you joking?

01:02:43.000 Jason Miller came in here with a red, white, and blue suit on, dude.

01:02:45.000 It's like they're trying to sell this national... He was wearing a blue suit with a red tie.

01:02:49.000 Come on, man.

01:02:50.000 I'm just tired of turning on Fox News and seeing red, white, and blue.

01:02:53.000 And MSNBC, red, white, and blue.

01:02:54.000 It's propaganda.

01:02:56.000 You make it green.

01:02:58.000 Gab is green.

01:02:59.000 It's cool.

01:03:00.000 It's weird.

01:03:00.000 It's new.

01:03:01.000 Mine is yellow.

01:03:02.000 Red, white, and blue turns me off anyway.

01:03:07.000 I like the American flag personally.

01:03:08.000 I do too.

01:03:09.000 America is a pretty good country.

01:03:11.000 And Trump is trying to invoke a sense of patriotism.

01:03:14.000 Red, white, and blue is a color scheme.

01:03:16.000 It's an America-themed color scheme.

01:03:19.000 I don't think it's fascist for him to do that.

01:03:21.000 I think it's more fascistic that it is going to be a censor-heavy, AI-automated censorship.

01:03:29.000 I think it's like, I look at it as like the first step on the road to fascism.

01:03:33.000 So I call it fascism.

01:03:34.000 It hasn't, it's not obviously not fascist, but it indicates like a thread that could pull on to find that later down the road.

01:03:42.000 He's obviously going to censor the hell out of people.

01:03:44.000 That's true.

01:03:45.000 So this is just market research.

01:03:48.000 They know that their base loves the American flag.

01:03:50.000 They love patriotism.

01:03:51.000 This is their whole shtick.

01:03:52.000 This is their thing.

01:03:54.000 So they're using the American flag.

01:03:55.000 I don't view that as being fascistic.

01:03:56.000 I will say that it looks like it's coming down to be a choice between being censored from the left or being censored from the right.

01:04:02.000 And I do think that it would be much better if we did have some form of Federated system where we could each go and block the people that we don't like but everybody is allowed to say exactly what they think I don't know if we're gonna be able to attain true free speech even on the Fediverse But we could at least try it's gonna be better than this.

01:04:18.000 This just looks like a cop-out to me Yeah, and I mean, I mean I think as you know as flawed as Twitter is it one thing I like about is it does allow for conversations between people with Very, very different, you know, political views.

01:04:32.000 And at least we, even if the rules on censoring seem arbitrary at times, I think it's one of those things we've just become more used to them.

01:04:42.000 And I think that's a different psychological response than going into a new platform with rules that even the people who create the platform can't articulate in a consistent fashion.

01:04:52.000 You know, I think we gotta be real about online platforms and moderation and stuff, and I think Ian probably understands this.

01:04:59.000 There's a reason why Twitter bans people.

01:05:03.000 The left, so first I'll get political, the left cannot tolerate, in a general sense, disagreement and aggressive argument, discussion.

01:05:13.000 It causes them to, Will Wheaton's a great example.

01:05:15.000 He's like, if Alex Jones is allowed to be here saying words, I'm gonna quit!

01:05:19.000 And it's like, okay, well that's too much, bye, quit.

01:05:22.000 But when they say things like, hey, someone's harassing me, then Twitter's like, ugh.

01:05:27.000 I feel like Twitter and these other companies look at their system and they say, what level of moderation can we implement that will maintain the most amount of left-wing users and minimally lose right-wing users?

01:05:41.000 I think their whole thing is like, how can we maximize user base?

01:05:44.000 Because conservatives are willing to stay on the platform even through censorship, they know they can censor the right, but the left isn't, so they know they have to censor the right, not the left.

01:05:51.000 But I will say, there's a reality to Twitter and censorship.

01:05:55.000 I don't really check my replies anymore. 0.99

01:05:58.000 Because I know it's just full of insane, psychobabble garbage. 0.98

01:06:01.000 Not everybody. 0.99

01:06:03.000 Sometimes I reply to people, I do.

01:06:04.000 But I know that most of the time, it's like, yo...

01:06:08.000 If I tweet something and then I look at the responses of which there's going to be hundreds, sometimes even thousands, it is going to be incoherent, out of context, rage, narcissism, insults.

01:06:21.000 I don't want to bother with it.

01:06:22.000 The reply function to me is worthless.

01:06:26.000 And I'm not trying to... Look, it's different for everybody, but I've got a million followers on Twitter.

01:06:31.000 Don't ask me why, I don't know.

01:06:33.000 I tweet random nonsense.

01:06:34.000 But people are following me, and I know that I can tweet something sometimes as a joke, and I'll still get just thousands of hateful responses.

01:06:42.000 I'm gonna be honest, I don't want to use that platform.

01:06:45.000 Jack Dorsey and the people at Twitter know that, so they said, okay, we gotta start banning these people.

01:06:50.000 Yes.

01:06:50.000 Which made the platform worse because they go too far with it.

01:06:53.000 Right.

01:06:53.000 That's when it comes to harassment.

01:06:55.000 That's a very vague term, especially now with internet.

01:06:58.000 It was a lot easier in the real world before the internet.

01:07:00.000 It was kind of obvious if someone was harassing.

01:07:02.000 It was a little more obvious.

01:07:03.000 Now with the internet, it's like if someone comments on your post over and over and over again, people are like, they're harassing me.

01:07:07.000 They're like, no, they're not.

01:07:08.000 They're just commenting.

01:07:09.000 And what would happen on Twitter is, A bunch of people would keep reporting a group of 100 people and be like, they're harassing me, they're harassing me.

01:07:18.000 And they weren't, according to the terms.

01:07:19.000 But because they would keep getting reported, these same people, Twitter will end up banning those people to placate the people that are complaining about a misrepresentation of the terms.

01:07:28.000 I had that happen to me one time.

01:07:29.000 I was in a Twitter debate with a self-described black radical feminist professor.

01:07:38.000 We got into the debate because at one point she was, this was around, you know, she was on a show with Marc Lamont Hill and they were talking about, you know, Texas abortion law and she described herself as pro-family.

01:07:48.000 Now, having been familiar with her work, I was like, that's not the case.

01:07:52.000 She's a person who sort of celebrates the decline of the nuclear family, right? 0.76

01:07:56.000 So, at one point, she said, the black community does not need nuclear families to thrive.

01:08:04.000 And boy, did that set off a bunch of people.

01:08:07.000 Now, to be fair, a lot of the responses were talking about her appearance, and I don't get down like that.

01:08:13.000 But, when she finally responded to me, she was like, you know, black men say that black women should stick up for them, and you should see all the hateful replies, and people like you, you knew what you were doing when you did that, and you like it. 0.62

01:08:25.000 And I was like, I was just responding on substance, but I think a lot of times what the left does is they will take those types of ad hominem attacks and use that as a reason to not reply to the sort of substantive issue that's on the table.

01:08:40.000 And I think that's an easy dodge.

01:08:42.000 The other thing I wanted to say, I think Ian, you bring up a really good point.

01:08:45.000 And I think this is a point that I see articulated on the new right, as I would call it.

01:08:50.000 And that point is, to what extent do American corporations owe any sense of loyalty to sort of the body politic, the nation in general?

01:09:02.000 Because I think after decades of globalism and free trade, a lot of people are starting to question whether or not companies like Apple and Amazon and Google are really serving the interests of our country because they are quick to criticize, you know, Americans, In the middle of the country, Trump voters, but are quiet as church mice when it comes to, you know, any type of criticism or perceived criticism of the CCP.

01:09:29.000 So I think that's a question that's bubbling up.

01:09:32.000 And I think there's a way for companies to feel like, no, we're American companies.

01:09:38.000 We serve American citizens without it being fascistic, as you were saying.

01:09:43.000 Well, so one of the components that we've discussed in the show, one of the components of Nazism, Or fascism was the lucrative merger of corporation and state, but it was cultural enforcement.

01:09:54.000 It was when the entirety of the country was so, you know, in line with nationalistic fervor, the company would have to fall in line or risk being just cancelled, as it were, right?

01:10:04.000 One way to put it.

01:10:05.000 We have the opposite of that right now.

01:10:07.000 You know, so we have literally the opposite of fascism.

01:10:10.000 And maybe that's why the left was screaming Trump was a fascist, because he did a little bit in favor of the nation.

01:10:14.000 Now, whereas back then, as it would go is someone would go to the factory and be like, are you producing steel for the war effort?

01:10:21.000 And then if they weren't, it was like, oh, shun, shun.

01:10:25.000 Now it's the opposite.

01:10:25.000 Now it's, um, who's that?

01:10:28.000 Who's that?

01:10:28.000 Who's that invisible wrestler guy?

01:10:30.000 Oh, John Cena?

01:10:31.000 John Cena.

01:10:31.000 Yeah.

01:10:31.000 He's a little wrestler guy.

01:10:33.000 Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.

01:10:35.000 He makes a video praising China.

01:10:37.000 Or, I'm sorry, apologizing to China.

01:10:39.000 And that's the acceptable thing.

01:10:41.000 LeBron James, Mark Cuban.

01:10:44.000 They're actually pandering for China! 0.98

01:10:46.000 Look, I think there's a fine line between... I think there's a decent amount of room in between fascism and communism.

01:10:55.000 We can very much be in the middle where we're like, our companies should not be selling us out to foreign adversaries.

01:11:02.000 We also don't expect you to fall in line through cultural enforcement to mass produce for the nation or whatever, right?

01:11:09.000 So I'd have a slightly different take, right?

01:11:12.000 Even if it's not the sort of the mass production for the nation, I remember back when, you know, Citizens United, that decision came down from SCOTUS, and you know, Mitt Romney famously said that corporations are people too, and he got hammered by Democrats.

01:11:26.000 But now, the political ties have turned to the point where Democrats know that big business is in their back pocket.

01:11:33.000 So when Delta criticizes the state of Georgia for its, you know, voter laws, or when, you know, they, they, different companies, you know, basically all the fortune 500 companies sign up or sign on in support of the Equality Act, or when they say, we're not going to go to this particular state because of its abortion laws.

01:11:52.000 I think big business has inserted itself into some of these conversations, our political conversations.

01:11:59.000 Both in terms of trying to move the needle in the in the left direction, and as we've seen it for vaccine mandates as the enforcement arm of the federal government.

01:12:11.000 So the company say, okay, we know the feds can't mandate that everyone get a shot.

01:12:16.000 But we think that we can force our workers to do it.

01:12:20.000 So the federalists say, Hey, we want the companies to do X and then we'll take on that responsibility to get, you know, our, our, our employees as a term, as a condition of employment to do what it is that the federal government wanted them to do.

01:12:34.000 That's crazy.

01:12:35.000 I'm worried about what you're talking about.

01:12:38.000 This is a good conversation about corporations and what they owe the country.

01:12:41.000 They're based in the United States, but for all I know, Amazon, Google, and Apple are about to pick up and move to China, their headquarters, and just say, bye-bye.

01:12:48.000 Money talks.

01:12:49.000 Politics is passe.

01:12:51.000 What do they owe?

01:12:52.000 It's all about, does the CEO want to stay American at this point?

01:12:56.000 I mean, maybe they owe the shareholders.

01:12:58.000 I don't think it's part of the corporate charter that they have to stay in the United States.

01:13:02.000 Monsanto moved its headquarters, got bought by Bayer, basically merged with Bayer,

01:13:06.000 and now moved their headquarters to, I think, England.

01:13:08.000 I'm not sure where they're at now, but they've been— Google's headquartered in Ireland, I think, right?

01:13:12.000 Fiscally smart, but obviously... These are not American companies.

01:13:17.000 They were started here off of our taxes, our roads, our blood, sweat, and tears, and then they up and relocate. 0.72

01:13:26.000 So you know what really drives me crazy is when the left is like, Amazon paid no taxes or whatever, and I'm like, I feel like that's kind of a distraction.

01:13:33.000 The real issue is the Panama Papers.

01:13:35.000 Yeah.

01:13:35.000 Remember that?

01:13:36.000 Yeah.

01:13:36.000 And the journalist who exposed it?

01:13:38.000 This is a big deal, actually.

01:13:39.000 The bank accounts in Panama that are popping up all over that apparently belonged to Putin's buddy and like all these really and that's the kind of the story that came up and like no one would touch it.

01:13:47.000 Right.

01:13:48.000 So, I mean, everybody was talking about it and the journalist died.

01:13:50.000 For like a week.

01:13:51.000 Then there was like another release that I got quashed really quickly

01:13:53.000 But what these companies are doing is I don't I don't care necessarily about the taxes

01:13:58.000 I care about the fact that they've sold us out Period you know that I'm pretty sure Google's an island. I

01:14:03.000 could be wrong, but they're they're setting up in other countries

01:14:06.000 They don't care about us They don't care about the United States. 0.93

01:14:10.000 You know, Google wanted to do that.

01:14:11.000 What was it?

01:14:11.000 Dragonfly or whatever?

01:14:12.000 That Chinese search engine.

01:14:13.000 They were arguing with it.

01:14:14.000 They all want to just be dominant global powers.

01:14:18.000 So it looks like Alphabet, which owns Google, is in Mountain View, California right now.

01:14:23.000 It's called an American multinational company.

01:14:26.000 What the hell does that mean?

01:14:28.000 That they exist everywhere, but they're headquartered in America.

01:14:32.000 Right.

01:14:32.000 But are you looking up their American headquarters?

01:14:34.000 Or are you looking up their actual corporate headquarters?

01:14:36.000 I just looked up Alphabet headquarters.

01:14:38.000 Alphabet Inc.

01:14:39.000 You can't look up their headquarters.

01:14:40.000 You gotta look up their place of incorporation or whatever.

01:14:43.000 Because you can have a Venezuelan headquarters.

01:14:45.000 You know what I mean?

01:14:46.000 Right.

01:14:48.000 And I think where the companies are located is one thing, right?

01:14:51.000 A lot of people, particularly both probably both right and left, would love to see more goods, whether it's PPE, whether it's microchips produced in the United States, you know, bring them to Baltimore or, you know, Chicago, wherever.

01:15:05.000 But I think the other piece of it is that these corporations insert themselves into our political conversations, oftentimes against the will of the voters, like the voters in Georgia elected a legislature and a governor to address their issues.

01:15:23.000 Where are all these companies coming and saying, no, we stand against, you know, what the voters in Georgia want to do.

01:15:29.000 And to punish them, we're going to move the MLB All-Star game from Georgia to Colorado.

01:15:36.000 And I think the extent to which these companies, as I said, insert themselves into our political process, that is one of the things that I find to be very, very, very disturbing.

01:15:45.000 So regarding Chief Social.

01:15:49.000 Just a real quick point of clarification.

01:15:51.000 I believe everything I've looked up says Google is headquartered and based in Mountain View, California.

01:15:56.000 There's often talk of their Dublin data center, and that's probably what I was confused about.

01:16:00.000 Interesting.

01:16:00.000 So I assume they would be based in America.

01:16:02.000 America for now.

01:16:04.000 But I don't think they have to, like, stay in the United States.

01:16:06.000 I don't know how that works.

01:16:07.000 They could probably, you know, bail.

01:16:09.000 If Sergey and Larry want to say bye-bye.

01:16:13.000 It's terrifying.

01:16:14.000 When it comes to Truth Social, now we're talking, it's a social network that has some American, he's trying to show us, it's got American values.

01:16:21.000 It's red, white, and blue.

01:16:22.000 But when I look at it and I see a private proprietary network that is blatantly going to start censoring, I just don't get the American values in it.

01:16:29.000 You can slather it with an American flag, but for me, unless you're going to make that code base free, then it's not really a free network.

01:16:37.000 Well, yeah, and the other thing, too, is that one of the core tenets of American value is the freedom of speech.

01:16:42.000 It's literally in our First Amendment.

01:16:44.000 So I think that it is perhaps a little bit disingenuous to plaster the American flag.

01:16:48.000 I do think it's just a marketing tactic because they know their base, whatever.

01:16:52.000 Sorry.

01:16:52.000 No, go ahead.

01:16:54.000 So I looked it up.

01:16:55.000 It's called the Double Irish Arrangement. 0.87

01:16:57.000 It's a tax strategy used by multinational corporations to lower their corporate tax liabilities.

01:17:00.000 That's crazy.

01:17:01.000 So they don't pay American taxes.

01:17:04.000 Or it reduces their taxes.

01:17:06.000 I think the Irish are upset about it as well because it pulls money from their country.

01:17:10.000 It also allows Google to operate and probably avoid taxes in the United States.

01:17:15.000 I'd have to look up the nitty gritty details.

01:17:18.000 But even outside of that, I don't think Amazon or Google or any of these companies have our best interests at heart at all.

01:17:23.000 No, no.

01:17:23.000 And I mean, it's not just the companies.

01:17:26.000 I remember a couple of weeks ago when I was doing research for a column, I saw that the head of the AFL-CIO, I think was basically either explicitly or sort of tacitly taking the position of the administration on vaccine mandates.

01:17:40.000 And I was like, this is one of the largest unions in the country.

01:17:43.000 They should be advocating on behalf of their workers, but In many respects, the Democratic Party today is much more responsive to the needs of the board of the New York Times than the board of, you know, major trade unions.

01:17:58.000 It's just a different day and age, and I think where you see the companies going, you're going to see all these other supporting institutions go as well.

01:18:06.000 I got follow up on Monsanto.

01:18:08.000 They were an American company based in Missouri, but then they got bought by Bayer, who is a German company based in Germany.

01:18:14.000 I don't, you know, I was watching the Joe Rogan episode with James Lindsay, and they start talking about Vanguard and BlackRock and State Street, stuff like that.

01:18:25.000 And then I'm just sitting there thinking, like, you know, before I heard that episode, I was kind of worried about what was going to happen to this show because, you know, Ian's over here talking about Monsanto, we're talking about, you know, Google's tax holdings and Amazon, and we have, you know, we have deplorables on this show frequently.

01:18:41.000 And then we get swatted a couple times, we get DDoS attacks.

01:18:44.000 I'm like, sooner or later, they're going to try and stop us from having this conversation, however they can.

01:18:49.000 But then I saw that Rogan episode and I was like, they lost.

01:18:53.000 They lost control.

01:18:54.000 They lost control a long time ago.

01:18:55.000 It's done.

01:18:56.000 When the biggest podcast is, they've lost any kind of centralized ability to manipulate.

01:19:01.000 We're breaking through.

01:19:02.000 They're still in the pilot seat, but they're like, Dials are not responding. 1.00

01:19:08.000 But that's like where we're at in the story right now.

01:19:10.000 Yeah.

01:19:10.000 I don't know, man.

01:19:12.000 Yeah.

01:19:12.000 So I was saying this before, like, feeling pretty optimistic.

01:19:14.000 So, you know, it's that Bill Maher stuff.

01:19:16.000 It's the Joe Rogan stuff.

01:19:17.000 It's where the conversations are actually happening.

01:19:20.000 And if the conversations in the media are faltering, they're not breaking through, give it five, ten years and they won't be a part of any conversation.

01:19:29.000 It's only a matter of time before You know, you're going to be turning on the news.

01:19:33.000 Actually, Joe Rogan already sets the news cycle in a lot of ways based on the things he talks about.

01:19:38.000 And that's it.

01:19:39.000 I mean, the New York Times commanded that power a long time ago.

01:19:42.000 Now they're losing it.

01:19:44.000 Now we're taking it back.

01:19:47.000 Do you see a stink bug flying around?

01:19:49.000 Oh yeah, but I was like, is anyone going to disagree?

01:19:52.000 I agree with you.

01:19:53.000 And there's a stink bug flying around.

01:19:54.000 I think a lot of everyone paused.

01:19:56.000 They were like, what is it?

01:19:56.000 I think about like the power structure.

01:19:58.000 This kind of comes to my mind once, once a week or so.

01:20:00.000 And like, cause as we're talking about it a lot, like there is a very dark underbelly of power in the world.

01:20:05.000 There always has been, I guess.

01:20:07.000 And it's like, if it doesn't like you, it will try and step on you, but you can somehow, I know you can work with it and we can change it.

01:20:14.000 Um, For the better, whatever that means.

01:20:16.000 Destruction and creation.

01:20:18.000 The inevitable yin-yang of our species. 0.92

01:20:21.000 Well, I do think that's what we're doing.

01:20:22.000 And I kind of, in some ways, I feel like we're kind of rising to take the place of some of these commentators.

01:20:26.000 Not necessarily straight news, in my instance.

01:20:28.000 You're more the journalistic side of everything, although I do like to send you stuff.

01:20:31.000 But it's like they're so obviously losing.

01:20:34.000 They're losing on the political front.

01:20:36.000 I get the impression that 2022 is going to be, for lack of a better term, a bloodbath and that it will be very red and very splashy.

01:20:43.000 I don't think we've ever seen anything like what's coming in 2022.

01:20:46.000 That makes me optimistic, but I won't bet the house on it, you know?

01:20:50.000 Hold your horses there.

01:20:51.000 I think I hear your thoughts.

01:20:52.000 Hopefully.

01:20:53.000 It starts looking really, really good, and then all of a sudden it's like, oh, the mail-in ballots came in late.

01:20:59.000 People need to track this, because in 2018, I was looking at everything going on in the media, and I said, I feel like the Republicans are going to win.

01:21:05.000 2018.

01:21:07.000 And then, initially, they did.

01:21:09.000 And the reports came out and it said, no blue wave.

01:21:11.000 The Democrats couldn't hold it.

01:21:13.000 But they said, wait, wait.

01:21:14.000 We're still counting.

01:21:15.000 Then a couple weeks later, they're like, there it is!

01:21:17.000 There actually was a blue wave.

01:21:18.000 The mail-in votes came in, had to get counted, and then Democrats ended up winning.

01:21:21.000 So I'll just put it this way.

01:21:23.000 Without getting into the nitty-gritty of all of the underlying conditions, I'll just say, policies will change.

01:21:30.000 Policies have changed.

01:21:31.000 And the Democrats are trying to ram through their voter overhaul, which could change everything.

01:21:37.000 And the polls may be irrelevant.

01:21:39.000 Possible.

01:21:40.000 What could it change?

01:21:40.000 What's the voter overhaul thing all about?

01:21:42.000 So there's a couple things in it.

01:21:44.000 For one, it effectively nationalizes elections.

01:21:47.000 If any state wants to change or change a rule, they have to go to the DOJ first or something ridiculous.

01:21:54.000 It creates automatic registration.

01:21:56.000 It makes Election Day a national holiday.

01:21:59.000 And it is completely and unquestionably unconstitutional what they're proposing.

01:22:04.000 They want a voter month instead of a voter day.

01:22:06.000 OK, that I can kind of get into.

01:22:08.000 Well, that's a violation of the Constitution, so it doesn't matter.

01:22:10.000 I don't like stuffing it into one day because some people are busy on that day.

01:22:13.000 That's too bad.

01:22:14.000 That's why you make it a holiday.

01:22:15.000 I agree with the holiday.

01:22:15.000 For sure.

01:22:16.000 I like that.

01:22:17.000 Make it a holiday.

01:22:17.000 You have one election day.

01:22:19.000 That's the way it's supposed to be done.

01:22:20.000 Because when you open it up to several weeks with mail-in voting and early voting, you open up inconsistencies.

01:22:28.000 I'm not talking about fraud.

01:22:29.000 I'm talking about Sometimes, because we've got the RV we're building at the mobile studio, no idea where the keys went.

01:22:36.000 Why?

01:22:36.000 We haven't picked them up in three weeks because we're waiting for the crew to come and do work.

01:22:40.000 You just forget what you did with it.

01:22:43.000 And so having one voting day where everything is planned, regimented, and according to the Constitution, I think it makes sense.

01:22:49.000 I do think there's questions about population density, the Founding Fathers probably didn't consider.

01:22:54.000 Fair point.

01:22:54.000 But you can't just be like, we're gonna pass a bill that violates the Constitution, and if you don't do it, then you're evil or something.

01:23:02.000 You're a bigot.

01:23:03.000 Yeah, you're far right.

01:23:04.000 Yeah, you got to pull this really tight because if you leave any gaps for any kind, not for fraud necessarily, but for human disorganization is something that we have to factor in.

01:23:12.000 Humans are a little bit disorganized.

01:23:14.000 I think we might have figured that out from the last two years. 0.99

01:23:16.000 Holy cow, it's ridiculous. 0.74

01:23:18.000 I keep talking about how it seems like the world is built out of toothpicks. 0.99

01:23:20.000 It's ridiculous.

01:23:21.000 I never knew how frail our institutions were until this crackdown.

01:23:25.000 You know what's really crazy to me is like, as you get older, and when I was younger, I look at these big systems, the CEOs, the politicians and the things they do, and it felt like everything was very formal and planned and strategic.

01:23:39.000 And you know, the games I would play with my friends where it's like, we're gonna play freeze tag and the rule is, you know, if you're touching the slide, it's glue so they can't tag you and like, you just make these rules up and you implement it.

01:23:50.000 Now that I'm older, I'm like, man, that's really is everything.

01:23:54.000 It's like when you when you look at the Congress, like when we had Marjorie Taylor Greene here, and she's like, you go into Congress, and there's like five Democrats and five Republicans, and they're voting on bills by grumbling and groaning.

01:24:04.000 And like, no one's actually listening to or reading these bills.

01:24:07.000 Yeah, I was like, yo, it's no different than a bunch of kindergartners being like, I get to play with the football because I have brown hair and brown hair goes first.

01:24:19.000 Make it up.

01:24:19.000 I remember when we were starting up mines and I was learning about business.

01:24:22.000 It was basically a mentorship for me to learn about business.

01:24:24.000 And I was like, how do they like say what their business is worth?

01:24:27.000 How do you tell people what your business is worth?

01:24:28.000 You just make it up.

01:24:29.000 Yeah, pretty much.

01:24:29.000 My company's going to be worth $50 million in five years.

01:24:31.000 Why?

01:24:32.000 Because we're going to sell 100,000 of these, and then the year after that, we're going to sell a million of them.

01:24:37.000 And it's just, do they believe you?

01:24:39.000 If they believe you, your company's valued at $50 million.

01:24:41.000 Yeah, I know.

01:24:42.000 It's amazing.

01:24:42.000 Sounds like every Shark Tank pitch that I've ever heard.

01:24:44.000 Yeah, seriously.

01:24:46.000 I mean, I'll say this as it relates to the elections, right?

01:24:49.000 I think the last two years have shown that politicians are not particularly good at fixing issues that affect millions of people.

01:25:00.000 They're very good at causing problems for millions of people.

01:25:04.000 And I think Um, I could see people over the last two years who say, you know what?

01:25:10.000 I think I'm a libertarian.

01:25:11.000 We need fewer laws because fewer laws will inevitably or more laws will make more criminals.

01:25:17.000 So, you know, I've, I've heard, you know, black folks talk about this for years in terms of, um, the number of, you know, it's, it's illegal to sell loose cigarettes or it's illegal to, you know, panhandle or vend or do all sorts of other things in the city.

01:25:33.000 But the more laws you create, the more opportunities you have for police to come and enforce them.

01:25:37.000 And I think for a lot of people who may not have necessarily cared about, you know, loosey laws in New York City, they certainly care about having to wear masks outdoors at their kids' football games.

01:25:47.000 And when you see a lady getting tased because she's not wearing a mask outdoors, it'll make you think, okay, do we really want to give, you know, our elected officials more power?

01:25:56.000 So I understand the libertarians.

01:25:57.000 I understand new conservatives who say we just want smaller government.

01:26:00.000 Too much government is causing too many problems in our lives.

01:26:03.000 But one thing I hope all Americans do is to stop thinking that the people we elect to Congress, whether on a federal level or a state level, are going to fix our problems.

01:26:17.000 That's one of the biggest problems, I think.

01:26:19.000 And it just goes from, well, this party will fix it.

01:26:21.000 No, this party will fix it.

01:26:23.000 One of the things I like about, you know, what I see in terms of the decentralization of information and people starting new businesses is that, you know, small seems to be better.

01:26:34.000 I love to see people, particularly young people who say, you know what, I want to start a family.

01:26:39.000 I don't want to be a wage slave for my entire life.

01:26:41.000 You know, I think getting back to those first order things, family and church and institutions and community, is one of the ways we come out of this, because if we put all of our hopes in elected officials, we've seen that they're going to let us down every time.

01:26:57.000 Church.

01:26:59.000 It's crazy.

01:27:00.000 You know, I think watching the de-religiousification of the country, the increase in secularism, it's not even a question of faith to me.

01:27:14.000 I think, you know, there's obviously many people who are Christian will argue that, you know, faith in God is a requirement or, you know, for the religious reason.

01:27:23.000 But there's no meeting place anymore.

01:27:26.000 There's no gathering.

01:27:27.000 There's no conversation.

01:27:27.000 There's no cohesion.

01:27:29.000 So Seamus, for instance, who's a good friend of ours, and he'll probably be here this week, you know, he goes to Mass.

01:27:34.000 Yes.

01:27:34.000 But when he goes there, he meets people.

01:27:36.000 He communicates.

01:27:36.000 He shares ideas.

01:27:38.000 That alone is a powerful force in creating and making sure communities stay together and stay strong.

01:27:44.000 You lose that, you don't got anything.

01:27:45.000 When do you talk to your neighbors?

01:27:47.000 I guess the problem I've got is I feel like the church co-opted community along the way.

01:27:52.000 The Catholic Church was like, we are the authority.

01:27:54.000 You come to us if you want to congregate.

01:27:57.000 We want to oversee it.

01:27:59.000 I think you should talk to Seamus about that.

01:28:00.000 I mean, I definitely felt that in my own personal life when my wife and I, we found a new church, you know, close to where we live now.

01:28:13.000 And at that point, you know, she was going in for a surgery.

01:28:18.000 Not anything major, but it was still, you know, she was going to be incapacitated for a couple of days and people just said, hey, what do you all need?

01:28:25.000 We'll bring food by, we'll send you gift cards and let us know if you need help with the kids.

01:28:30.000 And that community really does mean a lot.

01:28:34.000 So again, as a believer, a church's doctrine is important.

01:28:37.000 What it actually believes about the Bible is important.

01:28:40.000 But it's also having that community and that fellowship is really, really important.

01:28:45.000 So you have people there with you when it's time to grieve if somebody loses a loved one, and you have people there with you when it's time to celebrate.

01:28:53.000 Like one of the couples, they just had a baby boy.

01:28:55.000 And that's one of the things that we celebrate.

01:28:57.000 We send it around the newsletter.

01:28:58.000 Everybody's praying for them.

01:29:00.000 Everybody's, you know, volunteering to help them.

01:29:01.000 And I definitely do think that that church is obviously in a very, very important institution.

01:29:08.000 Give a shout out to Luke, who is no longer with us.

01:29:11.000 Luke Rutkowski.

01:29:12.000 He's in Florida.

01:29:13.000 In a better place.

01:29:14.000 Yeah, he's in a better place.

01:29:15.000 Florida!

01:29:15.000 Yeah, Florida.

01:29:16.000 No, West Virginia's pretty rad.

01:29:18.000 But, you know, he had a video from 10 years ago called, I think it's called Just Keep Going, You've Got Nothing to Lose.

01:29:23.000 I recommend it.

01:29:24.000 Everybody check it out.

01:29:25.000 And he just talks about how people, you know, millions of people are traveling on the subways of New York every day and they never talk to each other.

01:29:32.000 Oh, yeah.

01:29:33.000 So we decided to start talking to them and asking people questions.

01:29:36.000 And he shows like they're laughing and they're getting along with each other and stuff.

01:29:40.000 And I'm like, it's a great video.

01:29:41.000 It's got the piano music in the background.

01:29:43.000 That's on Luke's channel over at We Are Change.

01:29:44.000 You should definitely check out that clip.

01:29:45.000 Seriously, it's a good video and it's like 10 years old.

01:29:48.000 But it's just, it's amazing.

01:29:49.000 He's right.

01:29:49.000 New York, a city of, you know, millions of people and people never talk to each other.

01:29:53.000 They have no place where they gather and share ideas.

01:29:56.000 You know what I mean?

01:29:56.000 I mean, universities perhaps, but it's not the same.

01:30:00.000 And a lot of the kids at the universities, particularly if there's like NYU or Columbia, they're not even New Yorkers, right?

01:30:07.000 I do think technology has accelerated that process.

01:30:12.000 You know, everybody gets on, head in the phone, headphones on.

01:30:17.000 But even as a kid growing up in New York and taking the subway, you're right.

01:30:20.000 You definitely weren't talking to people, especially people you didn't know.

01:30:24.000 I get on, I eat my beef patty, I drink my Snapple, and mind my own business.

01:30:29.000 I think there's such a distinct overlap between the town square and the church.

01:30:33.000 For example, I've been going to church for the last, I want to say month, maybe month and a half, and it is incredibly refreshing to be around people who are, they're very nice, they're very generous, they really care about what they believe, they're talking about the mask mandate, and it's a very interesting way to see how this stuff is affecting real life people.

01:30:49.000 But you start to get a sense for what you've lost when you no longer have a church backbone.

01:30:54.000 I don't really even care if you believe exactly what they believe in.

01:30:56.000 I don't think they do either because they will support you.

01:30:58.000 They will bring you your casserole if you need help and they'll take care of your kids if you need it.

01:31:03.000 I think that's a big part of what we're lacking.

01:31:05.000 I've got a feeling it's mostly about the community and the belief in God or whatever.

01:31:09.000 Some sort of energy field that's bigger than this hard experience.

01:31:15.000 Whether or not it's church, I don't know.

01:31:17.000 I don't know.

01:31:17.000 I never really have gone to church.

01:31:18.000 I went a couple times when I was a kid.

01:31:20.000 One time I got stung by a bee.

01:31:21.000 I went to an outdoor church and I was like, I think that's a message from God.

01:31:24.000 I'm not going to do this anymore.

01:31:26.000 My parents never took me.

01:31:27.000 We never went on Christmas or any of that.

01:31:29.000 But I've learned in my adult years that this God energy, it seems to be real.

01:31:33.000 And even scientifically, it seems to be real.

01:31:36.000 So that, but that alone is not enough.

01:31:38.000 The community is so important.

01:31:39.000 So without church, I don't, I haven't really had much community.

01:31:43.000 I mean, where do you go for community anymore?

01:31:45.000 The internet, internet chat rooms?

01:31:47.000 I hope not.

01:31:47.000 I mean, that's where I was going.

01:31:51.000 And always 07, you know, two things, two things really quick.

01:31:54.000 Um, Lydia, would you just mention in terms of, you know, sort of the, the church sort of Having an overlap with the public square, it makes me think of what Frederick Douglass talked about in terms of his type of conservatism.

01:32:06.000 He had three boxes of liberty.

01:32:09.000 The cartridge box, the ballot box, and the jury box.

01:32:13.000 I would add a fourth one, which is the soap box.

01:32:15.000 Right.

01:32:15.000 Being able to sort of express different views.

01:32:19.000 And I think social media can play that role at times, which is why censorship is so detrimental is because it stops us from being able to talk about things and share things.

01:32:30.000 But the other thing that I thought of, you know, even when you mentioned, you know, a belief in God, I'm sure you all are familiar with Yuri Bezmenov.

01:32:40.000 Oh, yeah.

01:32:41.000 Yeah.

01:32:41.000 When he gave his talk on ideological subversion and he got to the end, he says, okay, how do you get out of the demoralization phase?

01:32:52.000 He gave an answer that I did not expect.

01:32:54.000 He said, God.

01:32:57.000 Faith, you need something that's bigger than yourself.

01:33:00.000 Yes.

01:33:00.000 You need something that people will actually be willing to die for because he said nobody's gonna die for two plus two equals four but millions of people have died for the things that they really really really believe and I thought that was a powerful point and I didn't expect to hear it from a you know ex-KGB officer But I think we're seeing, particularly over the course of the pandemic, that belief, family, friends, all of those things are important because you can have all of the material goods, you can have everything delivered by Uber or some other service, but if you don't have family, if you don't have friends, and you don't have anything to believe in that's sort of outside of yourself, it's tough.

01:34:03.000 But let's read some of these Super Chats. 0.92

01:34:05.000 We got Matt V. He says, Please get Tom Woods on, author of Nullification and Michael Malice's mentor.

01:34:12.000 Partial joke.

01:34:13.000 Tom Woods, jury nullification?

01:34:15.000 Is that what his nullification book's about?

01:34:17.000 I don't know.

01:34:17.000 No, I don't know.

01:34:17.000 It's just nullification.

01:34:18.000 So we're gonna try and get him on?

01:34:20.000 Yeah, I'm working on it.

01:34:21.000 He's very, very busy, but yes.

01:34:22.000 Very busy guy.

01:34:24.000 Did you see about Michael Malice?

01:34:25.000 I missed that last part.

01:34:26.000 His mentor.

01:34:27.000 Oh, that's Michael Malice's mentor?

01:34:28.000 Yeah.

01:34:28.000 I don't know if that's actually true.

01:34:29.000 I believe it is, yeah.

01:34:30.000 Oh, really?

01:34:31.000 Yeah, they did a podcast together.

01:34:32.000 Really?

01:34:33.000 Yeah, he's great.

01:34:34.000 So he's like Michael Malice, but better.

01:34:35.000 So we don't need to invite Michael anymore.

01:34:38.000 Oh, I'll let Michael know.

01:34:39.000 Michael is always welcome on this show.

01:34:41.000 We're big fans of Michael Malice.

01:34:43.000 He's one of the best trolls ever, and I look forward to him as press secretary.

01:34:47.000 This is going to be one of the greatest moments in American history.

01:34:51.000 Absolutely.

01:34:52.000 The media deserves it, you know?

01:34:53.000 Oh, they sure do.

01:34:55.000 All right.

01:34:55.000 What is this?

01:34:57.000 Murph says, gotta give a super chat for Ian's late night smooth jazz radio host intro.

01:35:03.000 Keep being you, bud.

01:35:04.000 Okay.

01:35:06.000 Hello.

01:35:09.000 Ryan McCafferty says his name is Luke Rudkowski.

01:35:12.000 Is it?

01:35:13.000 The last time Luke was here and left, we made the same joke.

01:35:16.000 Luke's in a better place.

01:35:17.000 Yeah.

01:35:18.000 Florida.

01:35:19.000 Yeah, Florida.

01:35:20.000 Never stops being funny.

01:35:22.000 All right, let's grab what we got here.

01:35:24.000 It is warm there.

01:35:26.000 Bitcoin event, huh?

01:35:28.000 Stan says, if you're going to the Bitcoin event, look up Anthony Pompliano, the best business show, great crypt and business guy, Miami local.

01:35:35.000 Yes, I think we've actually reached out to him before about coming on, but he's also a super busy guy.

01:35:40.000 So people need to realize, too, it's, you know, these big podcast hosts.

01:35:45.000 They have their own shows, you know, like Anthony, I'm pretty sure he does his own show, right?

01:35:48.000 Oh, yeah.

01:35:49.000 So like asking them to, you know, cancel their show to come on ours is just not gonna happen.

01:35:54.000 But we're lucky enough that people like Alex Jones are always willing, you know, he's fun.

01:35:58.000 He's fun to have around and have a conversation with.

01:36:01.000 Ben D says, my house rep held a town hall call today and after I asked a question about misappropriated wasted federal spending my chat function was disabled.

01:36:12.000 Wow!

01:36:13.000 That's like sitcom level humor, you know?

01:36:18.000 That's a good sketch idea.

01:36:20.000 Crying tears of joy.

01:36:21.000 Crying tears of joy?

01:36:24.000 Alright, James Rogers says, guys, we're not going to war.

01:36:27.000 It's not around the corner.

01:36:28.000 It's all media bait.

01:36:29.000 We didn't go to war over the USS Pueblo or Gary Powers, and these were legit acts of war.

01:36:34.000 Troops are forward deployed for MAD deterrence, that's all.

01:36:38.000 Yeah, you know, we'll see for sure.

01:36:40.000 I'm just saying I think it's possible, but I don't think Biden could handle it.

01:36:45.000 And I was reading that he's scared because he'll botch it like Afghanistan. 1.00

01:36:49.000 I did see that Britain wants to back the suspension of Russia from the SWIFT payment system.

01:36:53.000 That's something they've been talking about since 2014.

01:36:55.000 That's wild.

01:36:56.000 So they're trying to do the economic route.

01:36:58.000 No one wants a hot war.

01:36:59.000 Most people don't.

01:37:01.000 Waffle Sensei says, Ian, if Luke is returning to Dagobah because he's Skywalker, does that make Tim Han Solo, Lydia Leia, and you Chewbacca?

01:37:08.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:37:08.000 Because I approve that message.

01:37:11.000 I love you, thank you.

01:37:11.000 I don't know about any of that stuff, but Ian as Chewbacca I think actually kind of makes sense.

01:37:15.000 You're not the first, and you won't be the last.

01:37:18.000 That's basically how I sound anyway to people who don't understand me.

01:37:22.000 All right, Alex says, No Luke, we nuke!

01:37:24.000 In all seriousness though, Kyle Rittenhouse was just on Candace Owen's show.

01:37:28.000 Any chance you could get him on the show?

01:37:29.000 Uh, perhaps.

01:37:31.000 What I said last time is, you know, after he was found not guilty and we all celebrated, congratulations, and we were very happy to hear that he was, you know, justice was being served properly.

01:37:39.000 Everybody's trying to get him on the show.

01:37:41.000 He was at Tucker, and I was like, let's wait until we're a little bit past this, and then we can bring him on to talk politics with his voice.

01:37:48.000 I don't like the flavor of the month stuff.

01:37:51.000 If we're gonna have him on, it's gonna be for him to talk about his ideas, his experiences, and what he thinks moving forward.

01:37:56.000 He's very young, too.

01:37:56.000 As opposed to everyone's Google searching his name, so get him on the show now.

01:38:00.000 I'm not accusing anybody of having done that.

01:38:02.000 It's just what media companies do.

01:38:04.000 So I went through it with Occupy Wall Street.

01:38:06.000 After Occupy, I get all this press attention, and then they're like, hire him. And then I was just like, dude, you only want to

01:38:11.000 hire me because there's press that you want to buy. I don't want to be involved in that,

01:38:16.000 man. All right.

01:38:17.000 Yellow Cafe says, did Luke leave the show or is he just not present today?

01:38:22.000 If he left, why did he leave?

01:38:23.000 If he's just not present, when will Luke be back?

01:38:25.000 Luke was really scared.

01:38:27.000 You know, with all the security stuff going on, he actually cried.

01:38:30.000 He did.

01:38:30.000 He peed his pants.

01:38:31.000 I gave him a hug.

01:38:33.000 That's right.

01:38:33.000 He was crying.

01:38:33.000 He was so sad.

01:38:34.000 He was crying.

01:38:36.000 And he hid in the closet.

01:38:37.000 Yeah, he did.

01:38:37.000 And he's not here to defend himself or refute these accusations.

01:38:41.000 So it's too bad for him.

01:38:43.000 Okay, no, in all seriousness, Luke has always just been our winter friend.

01:38:48.000 He comes when it's colder up north.

01:38:50.000 Snowbird.

01:38:51.000 Yeah.

01:38:51.000 It's weird because it's still cold here.

01:38:53.000 I guess it's way colder up in New Hampshire.

01:38:54.000 It's not as cold.

01:38:56.000 But then he hangs out for about Christmas, and then he goes down to Florida.

01:38:59.000 And I think actually Luke will be back in about a week.

01:39:02.000 Yeah, we've got a big show on the 3rd.

01:39:05.000 Yeah, so, and we'll see, but then Luke will probably just go back.

01:39:09.000 So he'll probably be back just like, you know, periodically.

01:39:11.000 And then probably once it starts getting cold again around fall, Luke comes back and sits in the chair.

01:39:16.000 But maybe we bring in someone else to fill that Luke chair and then, you know, I don't know, then maybe that's it for Luke because he doesn't want to be on the show anymore.

01:39:24.000 Oh, snap. 0.99

01:39:24.000 Sorry, Luke. 0.99

01:39:25.000 Luke wants to be able to go and do whatever he wants and then come back and join the show whenever he wants.

01:39:30.000 And I'm like, for sure, we're always glad to have him because Luke's fantastic.

01:39:33.000 But we're like, why did you take off your targeting system?

01:39:37.000 Put it in.

01:39:37.000 He's like, I use the, he hears like you using the force right now.

01:39:40.000 We're like, why'd you take off your targeting system?

01:39:42.000 Luke, you were here.

01:39:43.000 That's not what Ian would say to him.

01:39:45.000 Oh, I just, yeah, yeah.

01:39:49.000 You know what I'm saying.

01:39:51.000 Yeah, Star Wars jokes.

01:39:52.000 James Rogers says, I have a question for Mr. Squires.

01:39:55.000 My friend is a huge fan of The Blaze.

01:39:57.000 I find it irritatingly based, but you're a man who cares about journalism, so I respect that.

01:40:02.000 My question is, how do you guys vet your stories and sources?

01:40:06.000 Hmm.

01:40:08.000 I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer that question.

01:40:10.000 I mean, I'm a contributor.

01:40:12.000 I'm not on the, um, sort of the straight news side.

01:40:15.000 So, um, I'm not, I'm not sure how that happens.

01:40:19.000 I mean, me personally, if, if I make any contention or claim, um, about something that's factual, I certainly make sure that I check it, you know, twice at least.

01:40:31.000 So if I make a falsifiable claim, you can be pretty certain that I know it to be true and I have the evidence to back it up.

01:40:37.000 So I would hope that everybody else at The Blaze does something similar.

01:40:43.000 But I mean, I think that's a general criticism for media and journalism in today's day and age.

01:40:50.000 All right.

01:40:50.000 Blue Sea says, Delano, just checked out Civitas' website.

01:40:54.000 Thank you for your work, doing the work to lift people up and educate families.

01:40:57.000 Well, Civitas.

01:40:58.000 So it's a company I created early last year.

01:41:03.000 So what I hope to do is be able to work with organizations that serve communities, so help organizations that help people.

01:41:14.000 So that's part of what I would like to do.

01:41:17.000 Consulting.

01:41:18.000 I mean, when I first started, I had one particular thing in mind, but as we move forward, you know, if there are opportunities to, you know, work with local nonprofits that, you know, trying to help K through 12 kids or return to citizens, you know, ex-offenders, you know, single moms, whoever, promote marriage and family and education.

01:41:37.000 I'm all for that.

01:41:38.000 Where can people, is there a website people can check out?

01:41:40.000 Yeah, it's CivitasCG, C-I-V-I-T-A-S-C-G.com.

01:41:48.000 All right.

01:41:49.000 Debbie Grumman says, I've never heard such exact and complete truth. 0.96

01:41:53.000 We are being led by cowards, cowardly media, big tech, and government.

01:41:56.000 We the people are the brave. 0.91

01:41:59.000 For sure.

01:42:02.000 All right.

01:42:04.000 David says, I didn't do it.

01:42:06.000 I spent zero days locked in my house.

01:42:08.000 Reminds me of that meme where it's the NPC face saying, if you just comply, we'll get our freedoms back.

01:42:15.000 And the person says, if you don't comply, you never lose your freedom in the first place.

01:42:18.000 And the NPC just gets mad.

01:42:20.000 Yeah.

01:42:20.000 I also tweeted out in the United States, we don't have freedoms.

01:42:23.000 We have freedom. 0.99

01:42:24.000 And this weird government bull crap, corporate crap, trying to make you think that you can split freedom apart and take pieces of it. 0.99

01:42:30.000 That's not how it works. 0.99

01:42:31.000 Yeah.

01:42:31.000 I mean, 2020, we had a kid, you know, we celebrated, you know, another kid's birthday.

01:42:38.000 We went out to restaurants.

01:42:39.000 We went to, I think we went to a wedding, at least one.

01:42:43.000 We just, you know, lived our life.

01:42:44.000 Yeah, man.

01:42:45.000 That's one of the reasons we came out here from the Philly area, because I could see how bad it was getting.

01:42:50.000 And now out here, it's like I haven't even noticed it since we got out here.

01:42:52.000 Geez, I went for a walk earlier today.

01:42:53.000 The air is so clean.

01:42:54.000 It's nice out here, yeah.

01:42:56.000 Blue Sea says, Neil Young told Spotify you can have Joe Rogan or me, not both.

01:43:00.000 I deleted my Neil Young from my list.

01:43:03.000 Yeah, I can do without Neil Young, dude.

01:43:06.000 Not only that, but like all of your stuff's on YouTube anyway.

01:43:08.000 So old.

01:43:09.000 Yeah.

01:43:11.000 Shout out to Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.

01:43:12.000 I love those guys.

01:43:13.000 All right.

01:43:15.000 Let's, uh, there's the, uh, there's a quote.

01:43:18.000 Let's see.

01:43:19.000 So, um, some people are saying simp is short for simpleton.

01:43:24.000 Simpleton.

01:43:24.000 It's a pimp C reference.

01:43:26.000 Oh. 0.83

01:43:27.000 And it also has an acronym, which is suckas.

01:43:31.000 Uh, let me, let me see.

01:43:32.000 Where is it?

01:43:32.000 Uh, uh, idolizing mediocre P word.

01:43:35.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:43:35.000 So I thought it was an acronym.

01:43:37.000 I just couldn't find it.

01:43:38.000 So Ian was correct.

01:43:38.000 I was wrong.

01:43:39.000 I stand corrected.

01:43:40.000 Simpleton.

01:43:41.000 Thank you.

01:43:41.000 Good, sir.

01:43:42.000 Elmer Fudd says, Wow, Tim, you have great guests.

01:43:45.000 I look forward to hearing Professor D. His ability to access the underlying root of problems is spot on.

01:43:49.000 I learn something from him every time I hear his assessments.

01:43:52.000 The fruit of his message is hope.

01:43:53.000 Respect.

01:43:55.000 Wow.

01:43:56.000 Very nice.

01:43:58.000 All right.

01:43:59.000 Carl Andrews.

01:43:59.000 Oh, man, this is a big one.

01:44:00.000 This is a big story.

01:44:01.000 Last week, a truck carrying 100 test monkeys for CDC crashed in central PA.

01:44:06.000 Started out four missing monkeys and changed to three.

01:44:09.000 Please Google TV10 Danville PA monkeys and check article.

01:44:13.000 Very fishy.

01:44:14.000 The woman's remarks to the news.

01:44:16.000 Yeah, like the monkeys got away.

01:44:18.000 That's suspicious.

01:44:19.000 It's winter.

01:44:20.000 You know, they won't survive, to be honest.

01:44:21.000 It's like Fugitive.

01:44:22.000 Yeah, nothing bad could happen.

01:44:23.000 It's like Fugitive.

01:44:24.000 No, it's winter.

01:44:24.000 The monkeys will just freeze to death.

01:44:26.000 That's terrible.

01:44:26.000 Yeah, it's sad.

01:44:27.000 It's very sad, but it's true, unless Dina figured it out.

01:44:31.000 I got Cassandra texting me some video of her monkey.

01:44:33.000 It's really awesome.

01:44:35.000 Cass, thank you.

01:44:36.000 I love you.

01:44:38.000 All right, let's grab some super chats.

01:44:42.000 There was a really good one I saw.

01:44:43.000 I want to see if I can... 0.94

01:44:47.000 Carrie Carpenter says, Howard Stern actually said, anyone unvaxxed that gets COVID shouldn't get care from a hospital and should go home and die. 0.97

01:44:53.000 Wow. 0.92

01:44:54.000 Yikes, man.

01:44:57.000 Howard Stern lost it, man.

01:44:59.000 Yeah.

01:45:00.000 Big time.

01:45:01.000 Mike Darusha says, Harrison Bergeron, please read it and at least talk about the premise of forced equity.

01:45:07.000 We have!

01:45:07.000 Talk about it all the time!

01:45:08.000 Yeah, I know.

01:45:08.000 We talk about it several times.

01:45:09.000 It's a short story.

01:45:10.000 Have you read it before?

01:45:11.000 Great short story.

01:45:12.000 It's fascinating.

01:45:13.000 No, I don't think so.

01:45:13.000 It's like about this guy.

01:45:15.000 It's about a dystopian future where instead of propping up the greatest among us, they clip off everybody's wings.

01:45:20.000 And like, so the people that can sing really well have throat pinchers on.

01:45:25.000 And so, this guy... Strong people have to carry weights.

01:45:27.000 One of the guys like sheds off all of it and is just this... And you see what society... It's well worth reading.

01:45:33.000 Yeah, it's short.

01:45:34.000 Yeah, it's very short.

01:45:36.000 All right.

01:45:38.000 Let's see.

01:45:39.000 Wait, what?

01:45:42.000 Aussie says, without that Luke putting up his dukes, it ain't no fluke, it's making me puke.

01:45:47.000 Glorious.

01:45:48.000 Thank you for that.

01:45:49.000 Here's a good one.

01:45:50.000 Bobby Bob says, my favorite is that black people can't be racist, but people like Candace Owens are. 1.00

01:45:55.000 Schrodinger's racist. 0.98

01:45:57.000 That's a good one. 0.99

01:45:58.000 Schrodinger's racist.

01:45:59.000 What do you feel about that whole whiteness and blackness is a thing that's not skin color related?

01:46:05.000 Political whiteness?

01:46:06.000 Yeah.

01:46:07.000 Yeah.

01:46:08.000 I mean, these concepts are so, you know, in many ways amorphous that they just get used by whoever wants to use them for whatever purpose they have at the time.

01:46:18.000 So when the National Museum for African-American History and Culture came out with this thing about, you know, white culture and whiteness, and it listed the nuclear family and objectivity, I was like, this kind of stuff is trash. 0.96

01:46:31.000 It's bad.

01:46:32.000 It's bad sociology and again, I always try to try to reach for something sort of that underlying problem and I think bad sociology flows out of bad theology.

01:46:43.000 So when you don't understand the nature of human beings, you're bound to take things that are common across people.

01:46:51.000 And ascribe them to whatever characteristic is different in that particular person. 0.97

01:46:56.000 So, um, I think a lot of it is junk. 0.96

01:47:00.000 And to your point, once you go from blackness being something about, you know, phenotype and looks and genetic background to political views, then I think, I mean, the ship has sailed altogether. 0.99

01:47:11.000 So political blackness, I think is that concept is nonsense.

01:47:15.000 Yeah, I agree.

01:47:16.000 You know, because Luke, who's Polish, they call a person of color and he's got blonde hair and blue eyes.

01:47:22.000 But for real, they say Slavic people are people of color because it's political.

01:47:25.000 It's not makes no sense.

01:47:27.000 Yeah.

01:47:28.000 All right.

01:47:30.000 David with a good point.

01:47:31.000 Y'all like assuming things about Truth Social.

01:47:34.000 How about wait till it comes out and see how it's constructed?

01:47:37.000 It's a very good point.

01:47:38.000 Just that there's reports coming out, Devin Nunes is saying they want to make it family-friendly.

01:47:41.000 And I don't think that's completely wrong.

01:47:43.000 They have to make sure illegal content isn't on the platform and they're going to use that service for it.

01:47:46.000 So we'll see.

01:47:47.000 Maybe they'll end up doing a much better job and maybe we'll all really enjoy it.

01:47:50.000 Yeah, you know, I realized I don't want to slam on it too hard.

01:47:53.000 I'm just pointing out warning signs I see in the beginning.

01:47:56.000 But same, I went through this with Chris Pavlosky at Rumble.

01:47:58.000 There was a time when I was going hard on when Dave sold Locals to Rumble, and I could have turned on Rumble and just been like, the demon, proprietary, bad.

01:48:07.000 I don't play, I don't want to play that game because we're all in this together.

01:48:10.000 And the people that build Truth Social might end up making a fantastic piece of software with it.

01:48:15.000 Same is true for Getter.

01:48:16.000 You know, when someone said, you may have, you know, killed Getter, how do you feel?

01:48:19.000 I'm like, not good?

01:48:21.000 Getter might be bad in terms of, you know, like, Getter might be worse than Gab in terms of free speech, but they're better than Twitter in terms of free speech.

01:48:28.000 So for all of their faults, it's still an increment in the right direction, I guess.

01:48:32.000 Take what you can get, you know?

01:48:34.000 Here's some praise.

01:48:35.000 E. Jackson says, love Delano, our modern Thomas Sowell.

01:48:38.000 Praying, uh, what was it?

01:48:41.000 Praying God gives him an even bigger platform.

01:48:44.000 Thomas Sowell is still around though, isn't he?

01:48:46.000 He is.

01:48:46.000 Yeah, he is.

01:48:47.000 Yeah.

01:48:48.000 Very good show.

01:48:48.000 Have you talked to him?

01:48:49.000 I, I have not.

01:48:51.000 When I see comments like that, I think about Bill Parcells and what he said about Tony Romo when he first started to get a little bit of shine.

01:48:58.000 He said, put away the anointing oil.

01:49:00.000 So like, I'm, I'm just trying to grow where I'm planted.

01:49:03.000 Yeah.

01:49:04.000 Yeah, man, do your thing and let it go.

01:49:05.000 High praise, though.

01:49:06.000 It is.

01:49:06.000 The Town of Souls.

01:49:06.000 I appreciate that.

01:49:07.000 Amazing.

01:49:07.000 Yeah, of course.

01:49:08.000 OG, yeah.

01:49:10.000 Smart fella, man.

01:49:11.000 Yeah.

01:49:13.000 All right.

01:49:14.000 What is this?

01:49:16.000 Jeffo says, have you guys heard of Quux?

01:49:18.000 It was created by Millie Weaver, used to work for InfoWars, but is now creating this great device, even better and secure software.

01:49:24.000 I have not.

01:49:25.000 I know nothing of this.

01:49:25.000 Quux.

01:49:26.000 Take a look into it, though.

01:49:28.000 Seems like something Ian's... How do you spell?

01:49:30.000 Q-U-X? 0.97

01:49:30.000 Q-U-X. 0.97

01:49:31.000 Hmm.

01:49:32.000 Q-U-X. 0.99

01:49:34.000 Anorak says, last I knew the people who think they are animals trapped in the wrong bodies were called Therians, as in Therianthrope or animal person.

01:49:43.000 Furries are people who like stuff with anthropomorphic creatures.

01:49:46.000 Humans are boring.

01:49:48.000 Yeah, furries dress up like cartoons. 0.98

01:49:51.000 They don't dress up like actual animals.

01:49:52.000 Like they're animals, but like cartoon animals.

01:49:55.000 And there was like, I was reading an article about it, and like one of the furries was wearing like Mega Man armor.

01:50:00.000 So they were like, they were like a wolf Mega Man, I guess.

01:50:02.000 And I'm like, that's clearly not an identity about being an animal.

01:50:05.000 They're like Mega Man, but with a wolf face.

01:50:08.000 So whatever that was.

01:50:09.000 Hey man, people can do whatever they want.

01:50:11.000 Cosplay is fun, you know.

01:50:13.000 Yeah, it's when they some I saw one being like it but it's when they take their fantasy cosplay and then they want to dictate other people's behavior.

01:50:20.000 That's when I take issue with like putting the litter box.

01:50:22.000 I don't apparently that didn't happen the litter box in the bathroom.

01:50:26.000 Well, there wasn't that it wasn't that a Joe Rogan joke.

01:50:28.000 I don't know.

01:50:28.000 Never heard that one.

01:50:30.000 I did hear that- Maybe it wasn't Joe, but some comedian said that they went to a- they were at a show and they went to a- I think it was Rogan.

01:50:35.000 They went to a hotel.

01:50:36.000 And the hotel had a furry convention or something.

01:50:38.000 Oh my gosh.

01:50:39.000 Google it!

01:50:39.000 I just- I heard that recently.

01:50:41.000 I did hear there was a teacher who got in trouble for not meowing back to a student.

01:50:45.000 No, there's no way.

01:50:46.000 I thought she got fired, but I gotta check that out.

01:50:48.000 I'll double check that.

01:50:48.000 I'll fact check myself.

01:50:49.000 I don't know, man, but I don't know.

01:50:51.000 At this point, I'm willing to believe anything.

01:50:53.000 Yeah, honestly.

01:50:53.000 Yeah.

01:50:54.000 I mean, that's a sign of a civilization in decline when you can't distinguish between truth and satire.

01:50:59.000 Yeah.

01:51:00.000 I gotta tell you, man.

01:51:01.000 All right, here we go.

01:51:02.000 We got a mean one for Ian, but I'm gonna read it.

01:51:03.000 Thanks.

01:51:04.000 Brian says, Ian is birth control. 0.74

01:51:06.000 Get rid of that anti-American hippie, please and thank you.

01:51:09.000 About to unsubscribe with the others over this anti-red, white, and blue rhetoric.

01:51:14.000 I think that's supposed to be like over-the-top sarcasm, right?

01:51:17.000 I am the birth control.

01:51:19.000 No, I mean, like, the point about unsubscribing is just they actually like Ian so much they're making the joke that no one would unsubscribe over Ian's... That's what I'm picking up there.

01:51:27.000 I think that guy got triggered by me smacking Truth Social around.

01:51:31.000 Sorry, man.

01:51:32.000 Some people get really, like, emotionally attached to the red, white, and blue American nationalism storyline.

01:51:37.000 I'm just... I just kind of see a bigger picture.

01:51:39.000 I'm more than happy to argue with Ian over that kind of stuff, but the issue for this show is we want to get our facts straight and we want to have discordant opinion on the show.

01:51:49.000 We don't want to be an echo chamber.

01:51:50.000 Yeah.

01:51:51.000 And so, you know, if your concern was like, Ian is factually incorrect and is consistently like that what someone was pointing out, I'd be like, okay, that is an issue, Ian.

01:51:59.000 You got to make sure you read the stuff.

01:52:00.000 And we've had those conversations when like, you know, talk to Seamus about religion and Seamus has challenged you.

01:52:04.000 That's fine.

01:52:05.000 But like someone having an opinion over something when you're more than willing to, you know, entertain a conversation.

01:52:11.000 The way I came at this story was I, we saw a little sapling growing and I took a huge mallet and smashed it and was like, fascism! 0.70

01:52:18.000 And it's like, yo, you just acted really extreme to this conversation.

01:52:22.000 But you did this with Trump the other day.

01:52:23.000 I see it growing into this beautiful fascist tree.

01:52:26.000 So that's why I brought it up.

01:52:27.000 You were like, do you think, I can't remember exactly what you said, but you were like, do you think Donald Trump, you know, you know, really something like cares about people?

01:52:34.000 And then I can't remember what the guess was.

01:52:35.000 They were like, you know, I think he's in it for himself.

01:52:37.000 And then you just got really mad.

01:52:38.000 You're like, Trump, I knew it.

01:52:39.000 He's just doing this.

01:52:40.000 And I was like, you're assuming that I was like, you just literally made up a reason that got you really angry.

01:52:45.000 You know, Trump aside, red, white and blue aside, if this code base for truth social was available, free software and all the code was available, I would have no problem.

01:52:51.000 I'd be so jazzed about this.

01:52:53.000 Oh, I have to say, before we move on, it's from January 15th in the Post Millennial.

01:52:57.000 Teacher alleges she was fired for not meowing back at student who identifies as a cat.

01:53:01.000 Quote, we no longer need your services if you can't identify with all the children in the classroom.

01:53:05.000 The substitute teacher alleges the school's office said.

01:53:07.000 That's fun.

01:53:09.000 I'm sorry, man.

01:53:10.000 As much as I'd like to believe it, I'm going to need to watch a video or something because that's not enough.

01:53:16.000 Yikes.

01:53:18.000 All right, let's see what we got.

01:53:20.000 Austin Walter says, make it illegal to invest 401ks in hedge funds investment outside the US.

01:53:24.000 They don't pay taxes on profits, keep the money invested here.

01:53:28.000 Interesting.

01:53:29.000 Well, then maybe companies just jump ship, you know?

01:53:34.000 Yeah.

01:53:36.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:53:37.000 says, Tim and guys, when my brother visits, we rock out to IRL.

01:53:41.000 He was always based, but now he's more knowledgeable.

01:53:43.000 He likes the long-haired guy, lol.

01:53:46.000 Who's that?

01:53:47.000 Who's their son?

01:53:48.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.' 's brother.

01:53:50.000 Dude, that's awesome, Raymond.

01:53:51.000 Sup, dude?

01:53:53.000 There you go.

01:53:55.000 Aris Roy says the super chat is for Ian.

01:53:57.000 I started listening to this as a center curious male and really disliking Ian.

01:54:01.000 After he said he did LSD one time and talked to bugs, he promptly became my spirit animal.

01:54:06.000 Yeah, they communicate through dance.

01:54:08.000 Oh, amazing.

01:54:10.000 That was really funny.

01:54:11.000 He was like, one time I was hanging out with a bunch of bugs and I was on LSD.

01:54:14.000 You want to talk about communication?

01:54:15.000 Last night I was listening to the water drip in my sink.

01:54:18.000 You guys should try this someday.

01:54:19.000 And I think it's whatever the bacteria, you hear it playing a melody, like dude, Or Dianne, you gotta chill out on the LSD.

01:54:25.000 No LSD!

01:54:26.000 And what you do is just like with birds, when birds chirp, if you mimic them back to them, they stop, they hear you, and then like, oh my gosh, he's communicating with us.

01:54:33.000 Really poorly.

01:54:33.000 Same with the bacteria in that drain.

01:54:35.000 If you start singing back the melody that it's dripping, it starts dripping with you, it'll start playing back to you, and like communicating with you.

01:54:43.000 Ian, I don't think that's correct.

01:54:44.000 It might not be the bacteria.

01:54:46.000 It might just be the water, but it seems only in, like, bacteria-laden sinks that I hear that.

01:54:49.000 Oh, boy.

01:54:50.000 All right.

01:54:51.000 Yeah.

01:54:51.000 Oh, boy.

01:54:52.000 Oh, boy.

01:54:52.000 I was like, what is happening?

01:54:54.000 All right.

01:54:55.000 Communicating with the non-humans. 1.00

01:54:56.000 Nevermore says, hey, Tim, do you have any Tales of the Inverted World t-shirts planned or on the way?

01:55:02.000 We do now.

01:55:03.000 We do now.

01:55:04.000 Since you just said that.

01:55:05.000 Let's get some of those shirts, and we'll have them for Tales from the Inverted World.

01:55:09.000 I'm really excited for season two and the new book coming out, Yo, I don't want to, I don't know if I can give away this.

01:55:16.000 I think I just got to say it guys.

01:55:17.000 Like somebody died during the investigation.

01:55:21.000 Like one of the sources.

01:55:22.000 Whoa.

01:55:22.000 Yeah.

01:55:23.000 Some crazy stuff's going on.

01:55:24.000 Wow.

01:55:25.000 Yeah.

01:55:25.000 This is going to be crazy.

01:55:26.000 Wow.

01:55:27.000 Investigating lost Confederate gold.

01:55:29.000 Some people do not want it to be found.

01:55:32.000 I'm excited.

01:55:32.000 It's crazy.

01:55:33.000 I'm like, I can't believe the stories are so insane that, uh, like they're so like We often get people on the website commenting, saying, I don't like reading fiction.

01:55:44.000 And then Shane, who's the author, Shane Cashman, has to say, like, this is a true story.

01:55:48.000 It's not fiction.

01:55:49.000 It's not fiction.

01:55:50.000 Like, we're investigating this stuff.

01:55:51.000 It's real.

01:55:52.000 And then people are like, no.

01:55:54.000 Like, yes, they're true stories.

01:55:57.000 Crazy stuff.

01:55:58.000 I'm really excited for this.

01:56:00.000 Somebody puked.

01:56:01.000 We get it.

01:56:01.000 Luke's not here.

01:56:02.000 I'm sorry.

01:56:03.000 Keep a bucket handy.

01:56:05.000 Michael Sullivan says, I agree with your point, Tim, but a red, white, and blue theme Truth Social wouldn't exactly clash with the French or Russian flag.

01:56:13.000 Keep up the good work, Tim Cass.

01:56:14.000 We appreciate you.

01:56:15.000 That's it.

01:56:16.000 Truth Social.

01:56:18.000 It's Russian.

01:56:18.000 Yup.

01:56:19.000 It's a Russian sign-up.

01:56:20.000 Oh my gosh!

01:56:21.000 I knew it.

01:56:23.000 Alright, we got this one from YWB, and it's a bunch of letters.

01:56:26.000 Yeah, I was talking to a dude, um, maybe about six, maybe eight months ago.

01:56:28.000 10 years, the forever wars woke ideology failed foreign policy, illegal Vax

01:56:32.000 mandates, skyrocketing suicide rates and our corrupt leadership are destroying

01:56:35.000 our military.

01:56:36.000 We are going to lose a lot of good people in the next war.

01:56:39.000 Yeah, I was talking to a dude maybe about six, maybe eight months ago.

01:56:44.000 Yeah, it's been a while now.

01:56:46.000 And he was, it was a guy who he said he has a career military and he was hoping

01:56:50.000 to stay in the military his whole life, retire.

01:56:53.000 And he quit.

01:56:54.000 He was like in his he was an officer.

01:56:56.000 He was in his early 30s, I guess.

01:56:58.000 And he was just saying it's gone too crazy.

01:57:00.000 Yeah.

01:57:00.000 So he's going to go private.

01:57:01.000 He can't do it.

01:57:02.000 Has this ever happened in the history of American military where people just quit en masse because they disagree with policy?

01:57:08.000 Not that I could think of, honestly.

01:57:11.000 Maybe, but I don't know.

01:57:12.000 It's just, it's like we're about to be getting into some war in Ukraine, potentially, or war with China.

01:57:18.000 And we have these, you see the women doing the bosom dancing on TikTok, the army girls? 0.83

01:57:23.000 The viral video where they're shaking their chests, you know, whatever the dance is.

01:57:27.000 Six girls, six women.

01:57:28.000 Clip that one for a GIF. 1.00

01:57:31.000 They're doing it like where they, you know, slam their chest and I'm like, it's really great choreography.

01:57:34.000 I'm really, it's great.

01:57:35.000 I wonder if Russia is sitting there being like, oh no, they're going to beat us in the dance off and then we lose. 0.76

01:57:40.000 That's how it works.

01:57:41.000 That would be cool to get some Russian troops, some American troops to do a dance off. 0.94

01:57:44.000 Yeah, I saw, it might have been on Tucker Carlson, where he played different clips.

01:57:51.000 I can't remember.

01:57:51.000 It was on a conservative show where they played the clips from the Russian recruitment ads, the Chinese recruitment ads, and then the American recruitment ads.

01:58:01.000 And for the first two, what you get a sense of is the country saying, sign up to fight for us because we are a country that's worth defending.

01:58:09.000 So the point of the ad was about service to country.

01:58:13.000 Our ads were, sign up to fight for us because this will be one way that you can self-actualize and pursue your dreams.

01:58:21.000 So, like many things in our country, it was infected with sort of the worst types of narcissism.

01:58:28.000 And it's all about me, me, me, me, me.

01:58:31.000 And I think when you have people who are willing to die for their country because they love it that much, and then you have others that think that their country is sort of a cesspool of racism and white supremacy and patriarchy, you're not going to be fighting on an even playing field.

01:58:47.000 You know, the problem I've got right now is I'm willing to die for the ideals that the American Constitution laid out, but I'm not willing to die for this fascist government.

01:58:56.000 Well, that's the thing, man.

01:58:57.000 When we had, when people truly believed in this country, they were willing to die for it.

01:59:03.000 Now we're at a point where we know the politicians are corrupt, the corporations are corrupt, and people are just like, why bother?

01:59:08.000 Yeah.

01:59:09.000 So they increased the sign-on bonus to like $50,000 recently from up from 40 or something like that.

01:59:15.000 So it's, they're just, they're just, that could be inflation, you know what I mean?

01:59:19.000 But I think, I don't know how you're going to convince people to want to join into that service, you know?

01:59:24.000 And to be clear, I don't think... No country is perfect, obviously.

01:59:28.000 I mean, we're talking about Russia and China.

01:59:31.000 And even in America's history, there was a time when the Tuskegee Airmen were fighting for a country in which they couldn't even get served in parts of the South when they came home.

01:59:41.000 But I think most people thought of it...

01:59:45.000 It's both the nation and its government and also the people.

01:59:48.000 And we're to the point now where our leaders are constantly telling us that the country that they lead is hopelessly corrupt, racist, and patriarchal.

01:59:58.000 And that is the big difference.

01:59:59.000 Fight for it.

02:00:00.000 Yeah.

02:00:00.000 All right, everybody, here's what we're going to do.

02:00:10.000 is when we publish it.

02:00:11.000 And then I think what we'll do is we're going to recast Luke.

02:00:15.000 So we need someone who is a Polish-born American immigrant to America, anarchist, and you got to have blonde hair, blue eyes, and you got to say exacerbate in both.

02:00:28.000 Yes.

02:00:30.000 And then we'll have our great value Luke Rudkowski.

02:00:32.000 All right.

02:00:33.000 It actually would be really funny for the vlog if we did that.

02:00:36.000 So we should we should put out a call for anybody who looks who can look and act like Luke and then we'll do a gag where in the vlog we're like, who's gonna be our new Luke Rudkowski?

02:01:37.000 Very cool.

02:01:38.000 So what Ian was saying about bacteria in the faucet actually made me think because there is a concept called the music of the spheres, which is an ancient scientific idea of there actually being like a music that can be heard in your soul that comes from the planets and all of this interesting stuff.

02:01:53.000 So you guys should definitely check that out.

02:01:54.000 Look it up.
