On today's show, Matt and Jack discuss the passing of Rush Limbaugh and the impact he had on the world of conservative radio and politics. They also discuss China's human rights abuses, Joe Biden's gaff and much, much more.
00:00:16.000you we're gonna start off this episode just by saying rest in
00:00:44.000peace Rush Limbaugh He is the, I don't know, I guess the godfather of talk radio.
00:00:50.000As most of you know, whether you're a conservative or not, talk radio became big basically because of Rush Limbaugh, and then because of that emerged other formats of something similar.
00:01:01.000Different ideas, different ideologies, different politics.
00:01:06.000I know a lot of conservatives are saying that every conservative talk host, you know, owes their beginning to Rush Limbaugh, but let's be real.
00:01:12.000I mean, this format, he was the one who was doing it.
00:01:15.000He was the one who got the show syndicated.
00:01:17.000And whether you like the guy or not, you know, he broke ground in this field.
00:01:22.000I don't know if any of you guys who are, you know, you want to mention anything about Rush before we get started.
00:01:26.000You know, for me, Rush Limbaugh has helped my life today because my girlfriend I've been with for many years, she grew up listening to Rush Limbaugh as her grandfather listened to Rush at lunch.
00:01:39.000So they'd have lunch together and Rush Limbaugh would be on.
00:02:11.000Yeah, there's a lot of people on the left who are saying he doesn't deserve it, he's an awful person, there's nothing good to say about him.
00:02:17.000And I'm like, look, whether or not you think someone was good or bad, we want to make sure that only the good things that they did, we remember them for the best of their abilities.
00:03:08.000Because China has different cultural issues, basically.
00:03:12.000The things that we need to talk about in this segment are so egregious that we run the risk of YouTube, you know, giving us the ban hammer for simply mentioning.
00:07:06.000Rush Limbaugh did a show, Family Guy, with Seth MacFarlane, one of the, like, liberal, like, most American liberal you can get, hated Donald Trump, very, you know, established, pro-establishment Democrat, and he actually had Rush Limbaugh come on the show several times, and they worked together, and apparently they were friends.
00:09:06.000Joe Biden, when asked about this, he basically said, you know, I'm not going to criticize them because, you know, they got different culture.
00:09:16.000It makes me think of, and I always hate bringing up the Nazis.
00:09:20.000I feel like they get too much publicity as it is, but the way that the British appeased them and people, like they voted Hitler time man of the year.
00:09:51.000Do we remember back when Donald Trump mentioned that we do bad things?
00:09:57.000Remember, and everybody was so mad that he questioned American exceptionalism, right?
00:10:05.000That is an interesting case to keep in mind when we look at this because what happened with Joe Biden is that he negated.
00:10:13.00050 years of American foreign policy, 50 years of American political philosophy, 50 years of us developing this notion of universal human rights based on sort of postmodern American liberal values, which are meant to be universal in nature, which is why we went into Iraq, they said.
00:10:37.000Which is why we went into Afghanistan, they said.
00:10:39.000Which is why we went into Vietnam, they said.
00:10:42.000To push our universal American values of American liberalism.
00:11:40.000That's that's one way that we could say it if we're going to have something like that excuse as a culture that's absolutely inexcusable and it's extremely dangerous not just for the Uyghur Muslims, but for all the other people that are going to be under the Chinese umbrella and because of the Belton Road initiative because of China's What you just said, Jack.
00:11:58.000I said that Joe Biden neutered American exceptionalism.
00:12:01.000of people are going to be subjugated under China in the near future.
00:12:04.000What you just said, Jack. What did you, what did you, uh, I said that Joe Biden neutered American
00:12:10.000exceptionalism. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, unrequested, uh, insemination.
00:12:15.000Women are being held down. So this news broke.
00:12:18.000A witness came out and said that her job in the camps was to basically pin the women down while the men came in.
00:12:24.000Take their clothes off, and then... Yeah, this was reported by the BBC, by the way.
00:12:29.000We also got numerous reports that many of the women who, on their own, of their own volition, became pregnant, had the Chinese government paramilitary forcefully end those pregnancies.
00:12:50.000There's also videos of children being taken away from their parents and then being told to repeat that the Chinese government, the Chinese state, the Chinese country is their mother now.
00:12:59.000So what's happening right now, especially with some of the drone footage that's been leaked of individuals being hooded and put on trains, is absolutely terrifying.
00:13:08.000Especially when you see the larger response.
00:13:10.000Especially when you see on Twitter an embassy from the Chinese government officially say that it's women's rights that they're promoting.
00:13:18.000Women's equality and women's freedom when they have these forced sterilizations on them.
00:13:24.000That's the kind of like crazy, insane, woke language that they're trying to use to justify this.
00:13:29.000And you see, you just saw Joe Biden usher an utter CCP, Chinese Communist Party talking points to the American public like it was normal.
00:13:39.000Where did he get the talking points from?
00:13:45.000And they said this, the Biden administration has people involved that like what China is doing in terms of their expansion and have praised them.
00:13:56.000Now, I want to read you what Biden said.
00:13:57.000They say, Here's a quote, I'll just read the quote.
00:14:02.000I point out to him, I'm assuming this is Xi Jinping, no American president can be sustained as a president if he doesn't reflect the values of the United States.
00:14:11.000And so the idea that I am not going to speak out against what he's doing in Hong Kong, what he's doing with the Uyghurs in Western mountains of China and Taiwan, trying to end the one China policy by making it forceful.
00:14:23.000Culturally, there are different norms that each country and their leaders are expected to follow.
00:14:27.000The norms in China, as shown in a recent BBC News expose, include systemic torture and, as we mentioned, women being held down and men coming in and forcing themselves in these concentration camps.
00:14:40.000Following the release of the BBC report, China banned the outlet in its territory.
00:14:46.000Yeah, there's also a new rule in China where bloggers have to get a government approved license and credential to talk about politics and foreign policy.
00:14:55.000But you could still talk about entertainment, food and beverages.
00:15:01.000In China, they instituted new policies.
00:15:03.000It was close enough to being like, that just happened in the U.S.?
00:15:07.000For me to be like, wait, whoa, whoa, hold on a second.
00:15:09.000It sounds like what Biden's saying is the only reason he's going to talk disparagingly about what they're doing is because he doesn't want to lose his job.
00:15:16.000He has to reflect the norms of his country to stay president, whereas also he was saying that he also has to reflect the norms of his country.
00:15:30.000They're not only expanding all over the world, but they're expanding with a lot of multinational billionaire corporations that do have a big influence in the United States, whether it's Nike, Apple, Disney, you name them.
00:15:42.000The ties of the Chinese money It goes to universities, goes to a lot of our key institutions that set policy.
00:15:49.000So are we at a stage, and I think we should be seriously asking ourselves, where the Chinese have already infiltrated us successfully and are dictating policy?
00:15:58.000And that's not a crazy question to ask.
00:16:00.000I think that's a legitimate question to ask.
00:16:42.000You say the wrong thing in some jurisdictions in China, they will take you, put you in a police room, tie you down, and make you apologize on camera, doing unspeakable things to you.
00:16:54.000Again, it was surprising also to see a response from Naomi Wolf surrounding this particular issue.
00:17:00.000She wrote that she wanted her vote back specifically after seeing this video with Joe Biden.
00:17:08.000Another thing, I did a full video about this on WeAreChange, but I talked about this because people are always expecting a hot war between China and the United States, because we're already at a currency war, a trade war, and the next logical step is a hot war, but I think the war is already being fought, and it's fought with this larger context of generational warfare.
00:17:28.000It's here, in my opinion, and if you look At what is happening in our schools, the United States is losing.
00:17:33.000It's losing badly, not just with the suicide rates, not just with the increases of mental health crisis in our schools, not just with the increases of depression, but even with masculinity.
00:17:45.000You see China actively trying to make their boys more masculine.
00:17:48.000In the United States, we have a lot of universities, a lot of schools talking about how masculinity is, of course, toxic.
00:17:54.000And Joe Biden just even Got rid of a directive that ends transparency of the Chinese government with their ties to American universities.
00:18:03.000You guys ever play the video game Civilization?
00:18:28.000You can win the game by having your culture dominate the world.
00:18:31.000It doesn't matter if you can control the government of these countries, because your culture, the ideas that spread, essentially dictate the behaviors of the individuals.
00:18:40.000Another thing that happens in the game is that if you have cities that are surrounding other countries' cities, and your culture is just, you're mass-producing it, eventually those cities request to join your nation, or you can lose your city.
00:18:53.000I bring that up because it is, it's just, you know, art imitates life, life imitates art.
00:19:05.000We have the NBA banning free Hong Kong jerseys, suckling the teat of China, not the United States.
00:19:12.000In the United States, we believe in free speech.
00:19:14.000We support the right of the people in Hong Kong to protest.
00:19:17.000Why would this massive multinational corporation, now it's surprising, you know, it's funny the NBA has become that, Why would they side with China over us?
00:19:26.000China even released statements supporting Black Lives Matter protests in the United States.
00:19:31.000Joe Biden, one of the first things he also did was sign an executive order banning the term China virus as soon as he came into office, but of course he keeps talking about the UK variant for some reason and doesn't I really understand the larger kind of context surrounding that.
00:19:44.000But, you know, we have to understand, Joe Biden also made a statement a couple years ago.
00:19:51.000I mean, anyone paying attention saw the writing on the wall.
00:19:53.000A few years ago, Joe Biden said that a rising China is a positive development.
00:19:58.000He put in a lot of people in his State Department that also believe in a similar idea, that China rising on the world stage, helping out the global economy is going to be good for everyone's pocketbooks.
00:20:24.000But the first thing I'm going to say is that the saddest, most disgusting part of this whole thing about China is how are they financing the Belt and Road?
00:20:31.000How are they financing all the national corporations?
00:21:20.000The American Psychological Association deems masculinity toxic.
00:21:24.000Risk-taking, competitiveness, aggression needs to be medicated and therapeutically removed from children.
00:21:33.000We have a formal demasculinization policy in America to make us weak, to make us less build, less builders, less of creators, less of protectors, less of providers, less of instructors.
00:21:46.000Whereas China knows that that's where the money is and that's where the power is.
00:21:54.000And it's been in the works for a while, especially if you look at the testosterone rates and the fertility rates in the West, especially in the United States that are absolutely dropping.
00:22:03.000Testosterone rate, testosterone, group testosterone levels are down.
00:22:06.000Fertility and sperm rates are, uh, you know, sperm counts are down.
00:22:10.000And I got, we got railed for this last time I talked about grip strength on this show.
00:22:24.000Because it is a factor is a data point that shows that men are weak.
00:22:28.000Apparently hanging from tree branches will help.
00:22:30.000It does, but we don't do that anymore because we keep our boys locked up inside, medicated, restricted, and we tell them that competitiveness and aggression and winning, winning is bad.
00:22:42.000What's this company you mentioned that said that masculinity is toxic?
00:22:47.000The American Psychological Association, the largest mental health professional association in America, believes that masculinity is toxic and must be treated.
00:23:44.000This is the story of the woman in Central Park, where she had her dog, not on a leash, and this other guy, whose name was Chris Cooper.
00:23:49.000Strange, they're not related, different names.
00:23:51.000And he was basically saying, put your dog on a leash, she said no, he tried offering the dog treats, she wigged out, started screaming, saying you're threatening me, called the police, and she got arrested and charged with filing a false police report.
00:24:02.000In order to get the charges dismissed, as the New York Post reports, she underwent a psycho-education at the Critical Theory Center, or something like that, where they focused on equity.
00:24:15.000They say Christian, who is in no relation to Amy, was telling the woman to leash her dog.
00:24:19.000Quote, psycho-education about racial equity is woven into each therapy session to prompt understanding and reflection.
00:24:26.000A Lizzie, uh, uh, Illizzie Orban told the judge of Amy Cooper's time with the critical therapy center in Manhattan
00:24:32.000Miss cooper's therapist reported that she was uh, it was a moving experience and that miss cooper learned a lot in
00:24:37.000their sessions together As if she would speak she said no
00:24:42.000They're going to basically explain This is about racial equity training.
00:24:45.000That instead of going to jail, she was given the chance to go to the, you know, critical therapy center.
00:27:33.000They have co-opted the state sport of Indiana basketball.
00:27:40.000If we don't even control the highest expression of an American homegrown sport like basketball anymore, I know it seems kind of flimsy if you think about it or just sort of not really related, but it is what could be more related than that?
00:27:53.000They've captured an American institution.
00:27:55.000Well another thing to really think about here as China's building power grids all over the world, ours is failing.
00:28:01.000As we're spending trillions of dollars on wasteful wars like Afghanistan, China's not doing that.
00:28:05.000They're building bases and building relationships with a whole bunch of countries in the Middle East as they're becoming the number one trading partner with countries like Iran that they're trading oil for military gear for.
00:28:16.000And when you see this kind of presence, when you see this kind of prominence, you really have to start asking yourself, what is the United States doing?
00:28:22.000Well, they're doing a 9-11 style commission surrounding the insurrection, which is, again, another waste of time.
00:28:29.000Nothing about helping the people, increasing our wealth, increasing our health, increasing our existence on this planet.
00:28:35.000Only more stuff that, of course, divide and conquers us.
00:28:38.000And what's Biden's number one policy right now?
00:28:40.000Taking away firearms, disarming people, making them defenseless, as he's going to go after the Second Amendment soon.
00:29:40.000If you listen to our institutions, if you just listen to what they tell you to do, it is a fact you will end up fat, sick, chained to a desk.
00:29:50.000And in debt for the rest of your life.
00:29:53.000With three masks on while you're alone in your own Chinese manufactured car.
00:29:59.000Undergoing a critical therapy session to correct your bad behaviors because you dared call the police on someone.
00:30:05.000And taking now three rushed experimental jabs as now Bill Gates, who also praised China for their response to COVID, just came out recently, also today, and now is saying that people need three shots of the coronavirus vaccine today.
00:30:42.000So in the, yeah, in the new, in the new show, they canceled it, I guess, because they were like, a lot of people were thinking that, you know, there's just some parallels here.
00:30:50.000Listen, I think, you know, we have a right to be free of cruel and unusual punishment.
00:30:56.000You commit a crime, you pay a fine, you go to jail, right?
00:31:00.000What this story is of this woman, this Karen, and the therapy session, this is... They mentioned in the story that they've already been doing it with other people.
00:32:04.000And I'm like, if I remember this correctly, this was all a big misunderstanding.
00:32:09.000You should never call the cops, especially on a birdwatcher.
00:32:12.000But I do believe, correct me if I'm wrong, that the situation occurred because the birdwatcher said, I'm going to do something you don't like.
00:32:18.000She freaked out and tried giving the dog something.
00:32:52.000She needs to learn why she was being racist.
00:32:55.000She was black and I'm white, so I'm not sure that that's... Was this guy, this birdwatcher, a black... I don't even like... So he was a different race.
00:33:52.000Critical race theory is now the baseline.
00:33:56.000So anything can be addressed by critical race theory.
00:34:00.000Any conflict that you have, any perception you have of other people, something bad that you did, no matter what, if it's gender, race, whatever, abled, bodied, who knows what related.
00:34:10.000Critical Race here has captured all of our institutions.
00:34:12.000You can see it even in like biology, even in like physics, even James Lindsay likes to point out, even in math.
00:34:48.000The original Monopoly was created by this woman and she wanted to create a game where people would be really annoyed by what was happening.
00:34:55.000Where the rich get richer and then take everything from you.
00:35:31.000I think the odds are you're gonna get, like, a 14 through 16, or a 16 through 19 on the dice.
00:35:37.000Monopoly is solved, so it's a solved game, meaning you can win so long as you do these things every time.
00:35:43.000And it's been a long time since I've been through the theory of monopoly, but it's buy all the red properties and never buy hotels, but buy as many houses as possible.
00:35:52.000If you want three houses on each property, that's when it scales up.
00:35:55.000But then no one can buy houses, and if they can't buy houses, they can't buy hotels.
00:37:26.000So the British had basically colonized eastern China and created an opium trade and were just massively, this is the East India Trading Company, I believe, massive profiting.
00:37:36.000They were selling drugs to opiates to the Chinese and just destroying the China through the opium trade.
00:37:46.000And we're basically poised to take control of China like they did India.
00:37:51.000They were going to make it a British colony.
00:37:53.000So the British or the Chinese eventually were like the emperors, I think, at the time was like, no, no, hell no.
00:37:59.000So they rose up and they attacked and just pushed the British all the way back to the coast, murdered all these British people, killed them, pushed them back to the island and got rid of it.
00:38:09.000And I think it seems like they're using that as justification to do that to us today.
00:38:12.000Not just justification, but an actual roadmap.
00:38:40.000Yeah, and I was just my friend was like a recovering heroin addict and had methadone and I was like, yeah, I'll try it You know, I want to know I want to understand and man it it felt so good.
00:39:37.000The opiates, you know, fentanyl, Percocet, all this stuff, ultimately leading to a more dramatic result that was detrimental to their lives.
00:39:46.000Yeah, our medical system was literally... This is the bigger point here.
00:39:51.000Our medical system was exploited by whether you call it the pharma-industrial complex or if you believe there was a larger conspiracy but people were told by their doctors by the people who they were told to trust Take this pain pill.
00:40:10.000I did this full video specifically highlighting a whole treatment center about people recovering from opioids in Mexico because they couldn't get the treatment in the United States to get off the hardcore drugs that they were put on by medical doctors in the United States.
00:40:23.000So seeing Americans who just were average Americans that suffered car crashes to have to go through this huge pain really makes you wonder, institutionally, what's happening.
00:40:32.000And as you mentioned, Jack, every layer of our institutions screw you over and benefit off of your suffering.
00:40:40.000And anything that goes against the institutions, anything that goes against the establishment gets cut now on social media.
00:40:46.000It gets attacked by mainstream media, and they want to toe the line, keep the line, making you suffer.
00:40:51.000Forget the institutions, build networks.
00:40:53.000Did you know that China underground labs are developing new potent opiates to send to the United States?
00:41:00.000I mean, it only took me two seconds to Google search this.
00:41:03.000Underground labs in China are devising potent new opiates faster than authorities can respond.
00:41:08.000And they talk about people in the United States who are catching this, finding this stuff, taking it, getting sick, ODing, dying, and it's being manufactured, of course.
00:41:29.000I think Joe Biden and the Democratic establishment, and of course the Republicans, are just extracting as much as they can before the ship sinks.
00:41:38.000They're the people in the Titanic running around grabbing as much of the silverware as they can before they jump onto a life raft.
00:43:04.000Why is it that Politico reported around the time that Joe Biden was put in charge of overseeing military operations in Iraq, They've got a bunch of contracts to build up, to build
00:43:36.000He's like, I have to keep up appearances, I gotta reflect the norms of my country, so I'm gonna say it to him, but we both know I'm cool with it.
00:43:45.000This is why I thought it was so dumb Tucker did the whole Joe and Jill Biden love thing being a PR stunt or something.
00:44:13.000And again, I think Tucker brought up an interesting point, because when you look at the sycophantic love affair that the mainstream media has with Joe Biden, when you compare it to what they did with Trump, it's a complete 180.
00:44:24.000We also had ABC News and Newsweek literally, unironically, put out two full-page articles about Yes.
00:44:32.000Joe Biden playing Mario Kart with his family.
00:45:13.000This guy is charged with storming the Capitol, but he's a leftist.
00:45:19.000So CNN gave him 35 grand, providing material support to a guy who runs a group or who started a group called Insurgents USA, and was a frequent activist attending BLM and Antifa protests, and then later denied being involved at all.
00:45:33.000But what I find funny is, you can be a moderately liberal individual, you go as a journalist, you go and interview, say, the Proud Boys, and then the media says, that proves you're far right!
00:45:44.000You can actually start a leftist insurgent organization, go to BLM rallies, go to Antifa rallies, and then as soon as they report on the negative things you did, you say, oh, actually I'm not involved, they go, oh, okay, we'll take your word for it.
00:46:35.000Yeah, it was the video of the woman who lost her life.
00:46:38.000So he had the exclusive footage and he got $70,000 for it.
00:46:43.000There's got to be some kind of criminal statute for this, right?
00:46:46.000This was evidence obtained in the commission of a crime.
00:46:50.000This was an individual who was breaking the law, and filming himself breaking the law, and CNN rushed out full speed, not only to put the guy on air, they put him on air and claimed he was an activist.
00:47:15.000I think the problem is that politics flows one direction.
00:47:18.000That even though this guy is being charged with several crimes, and he recently got new charges added, the news outlets don't care about you or me or anyone who's listening to this show.
00:48:18.000There's only profit, power, and the agenda of those who have it.
00:48:23.000Are we just finally acknowledging that maybe this whole American story that we built up, this whole myth about us being the good guys and doing the right thing all the time, it's just a bunch of crap?
00:48:35.000Like, this is the country where we learn history as written by the victors.
00:48:39.000This is the country where you are allowed to burn the American flag, for better or for worse.
00:48:44.000Even back in the day when it was way more controversial and people would try to cancel you over it, you could still do it.
00:48:49.000You can't do that in China, in any capacity.
00:48:51.000They'll just lock you in your home, weld your doors shut, and then you die.
00:48:55.000So, look, there's that famous sketch where the two guys, was it Hamish and Andy I think, I'm not sure, and they're dressed like Nazis and they're like, They're symbol is the skull and crossbones, and the guy's like, are we the baddies?
00:49:11.000America does bad things, but if you believe in the world of superheroes who are perfect and do no wrong, well then, I got a comic book to sell ya.
00:49:20.000Because that's just not the real world.
00:49:26.000But I think it's true that we are and have been the good guys.
00:49:29.000And there have been a lot of really messed up things America has done.
00:49:32.000And America has been exploited by a lot of special interests and evil people.
00:49:35.000But for the most part, we have been... This is one of the best countries to have ever existed, if not the best, in terms of civil rights for all people.
00:49:43.000The rights... I'll tell you something real crazy, man.
00:49:45.000I have to be careful when I go to certain countries.
00:49:49.000People in this country, they think it's funny when I mention that I'm mixed race, but they don't understand that that's very dangerous in a lot of countries in the world.
00:49:57.000The views held about being mixed are extremely ethnocentric, and it's like, that's a bad thing.
00:50:05.000I went to Korea, for instance, and I had a lot of people say, oh man, wow, yeah, no, you shouldn't, like, that's, that's, like, not okay, you know what I mean?
00:50:15.000We've not always been perfect, but we have moved towards bettering everything as we've gone, you know, moved forward.
00:50:21.000And even today it's it's it's this country has done so well to protect rights that we actually have a problem of people exploiting our desire to do good.
00:50:29.000Our goodwill is being exploited by critical race theorists who are trying to destroy this country and who hate it.
00:50:34.000It seems like the age of decadence like we're all this infighting like it makes me think of the Romans at the end of the Roman Empire.
00:50:40.000And has there ever been an empire that wasn't ultimately invaded by militant conquerors and then transfixed, you know, changed?
00:51:30.000Sending misdemeanor offenders for calling the cops by accident on the wrong guy to re-education camps is a sign of victory.
00:51:38.000Now, I'm glad we sort of took the bait here on my sort of Socratic asking this question about is America everything we remember it to be.
00:51:43.000I think what we're really observing here is that it is one thing to be inside and to be an American in America is another thing to be on the outside and not be an American vis-a-vis American power in the world, right?
00:51:57.000And the way that we conduct ourselves overseas and the way that we try to push our universal liberalism, moral rights, or human rights on everybody else over their objections, right?
00:52:07.000At the same time as preserving all of our stuff at home and saying, this can't be corrupted in any way.
00:52:12.000It presents a hypocrisy that people resent us around the world.
00:52:29.000Well, the thing that makes America special is the First and Second Amendment, something that is also in grave danger from being taken away from us in one way or another.
00:52:37.000Digitally online, the information and communication highways are taken over by special interests and they're limiting people's speech.
00:52:44.000The Second Amendment also is in grave danger as well.
00:52:46.000There's already a lot of limitations, but let's be honest here.
00:52:49.000Comparatively around the world, not a lot of people have the First and Second Amendment.
00:52:53.000Now, as you said, Jack, the military-industrial complex has hijacked American foreign policy and the amount of human suffering it has caused all around the world.
00:53:02.000Oh boy, does there need to be a realization to this and an understanding of this because the consequences are far greater than what a lot of naive people in the United States could even understand.
00:53:25.000I mean, it's like you got a neighbor next door who's like at home.
00:53:29.000Everything's beautiful in their house and all the kids are successful and they got all the money in the world and it's totally free and loving and kind inside their house.
00:53:36.000And then they're the biggest jerks you ever met in your neighborhood and they're killing everybody who doesn't think the way that they do.
00:53:42.000That is a dichotomy that is really hard to square.
00:53:48.000Our actions collectively as a nation represented on the world stage don't necessarily jive up with our theories and our ideas of who we are at home.
00:53:57.000This is why I think we got to vehemently protect the Constitution because there could come a day when the U.S.
00:54:04.000government is so hands-off and disregarded of the Constitution that they allow extradition of American citizens to China for crap-talking the Chinese government.
00:54:12.000What they've already done is allow the Constitution to be subordinated to terms of service.
00:54:18.000Corporate terms of service now supersede the Constitution.
00:54:30.000And then there was some big Supreme Court ruling, and then a bunch of these, you know, Chicago Democrats were freaking out because the Supreme Court was like, yo, you can't ban people from having guns.
00:54:38.000So all of a sudden, businesses started putting signs all over their door, you know, stickers on their doors.
00:54:55.000Could someone who owns a toll road, private road, say, you can't bring weapons on this road, we'll kick you off, we'll ban you from using it?
00:55:02.000Just real quick, the reason I bring this up is, if we're moving in a direction where, you know, our speech is now subjected to terms of service, and we don't use the public space anymore, Will there eventually be a time when other elements that are protected by the Constitution go private and then we no longer have those rights?
00:55:25.000The terms of service are superseding the Constitution.
00:55:28.000They're abridging your rights, First Amendment rights.
00:55:31.000And the government seems very happy to allow that to happen.
00:55:35.000As a matter of fact, don't you think that the folks on the left in power in the United States government, they look to this censorship that is taking place, these new terms of service that supersede the Constitution.
00:55:47.000They're actually getting the work done that they wish.
00:55:52.000That they could accomplish through the government.
00:55:53.000They are silencing their political opposition.
00:55:56.000They silenced the most powerful man in the world, the President of the United States.
00:56:03.000They banned him while he was in office.
00:56:05.000Which is just what the left wish could happen.
00:56:08.000So the people who are in power, who are guardians and defenders, who have taken oaths to defend the Constitution, gleefully allow these corporations to run amok and establish terms of service which supersede the Constitution.
00:56:25.000Let's talk about what happens when... Let me say this real quick.
00:56:28.000This is like a visceral misnomer of human rights.
00:56:31.000To allow a corporation To violate your rights because you don't want to violate their rights is like saying you're going to allow the Chinese government to take you and fly you to China to put you in a Chinese prison because you're not going to violate their right to do that.
00:56:47.000We have a government to protect our rights.
00:57:47.000If I write a news article, and then there's a bunch of text, you know, Jack Murphy, shut up at Tim Pool's house, did a backflip, everyone cheered.
00:57:56.000So I'm writing this article because I want you to come to my website, and I want you to read this, and in turn, get exposed to advertisements for which I make money.
00:58:04.000Google scrapes all of that text and just publishes it on Google.
00:58:09.000So some people just read Google News, don't go to the site, the site doesn't get the money, but still did the work.
00:58:14.000It's resulted in news organizations going after Google, smearing them, smearing YouTube, and trying to essentially destroy Google's business model because, well, it's taking from them.
00:58:24.000I can understand the problem of what Google is doing, stripping, you know, scraping the text and then republishing it essentially.
00:58:29.000But in this, a law was passed basically saying, you can't do this.
00:59:16.000They take over the public town square, they take over the flow of news, and then when you dare say, we will not allow you to do this without, you know, pitching back in, they say, okay, then we will snap our fingers and destroy the system.
01:02:40.000So they pull off at the rest stop, there's nothing there, so now you're just hungry.
01:02:43.000Yeah, you have to use Facebook food only.
01:02:45.000And I guess a way to put it is, we used to just stay on the highway and get our food from there, and many people eventually forgot the restaurants they used to go to.
01:02:53.000And now, one day, Facebook says, oh, y'all want to cut of so so they're that these companies are using
01:03:00.000dot dot the highway that we contribute to
01:03:03.000and it's caused damage to the economy and so when we come in and say yeah we've got a rectified
01:03:07.000as it's trying things a much take all your food away
01:03:10.000and what will you do about it i imagine this is costing face book
01:03:14.000this move that they've decided to tell you to be an all-new So I'm guessing that this is a gambit that they hope doesn't become permanent, right?
01:03:22.000This is a way of them being like, your law is dumb.
01:05:05.000But we're born into a system where it's prevalent.
01:05:08.000So it's the kids that are three and four using it because their friends at school use it aren't choosing it.
01:05:16.000I remember when you couldn't get in but if you were in just a few different universities and I went to Georgetown and I was like waiting for them to add Georgetown to the list and I was like, yes!
01:05:28.000Yeah, but it's become so prevalent now that people are inducted without... Our preferences led to this outcome.
01:05:36.000Yeah, our personal choices, which again, there's a lot of unfair market conditions that happen, especially with government intervention and these big social tech companies.
01:05:44.000But what Jack talks about, Ian, just like, you know, people vote for puppets, they're called politicians, People also vote with their dollars.
01:06:11.000So this experiment is going to be very exciting to see how it plays out because With Facebook saying pretty much, you know, F you to the entire government of Australia.
01:06:22.000This is going to have some interesting ramifications worldwide and people who are wanting to see the news... I mean already Facebook is, according to some estimates, in decline.
01:06:32.000Already there's a lot of boomer people just complaining and nagging on there.
01:06:35.000Already the algorithm is just filled with a lot of just hateful, wasteful stuff.
01:06:41.000I got fact-checked on it today, but it's It's not something I engage in, but Ian, one thing that we're trying to make people understand is because we're on it, because we're participating in it, we're allowing it to be as prevalent.
01:06:55.000And just like Myspace and just like all these other big tech kind of social media platforms that came and went, I do believe there will be a day where Facebook will come and will go soon.
01:07:05.000I agree that we are complicit and empowering the system by using it, but you also can make that argument about the U.S.
01:09:22.000You break up the ad stuff from the search stuff.
01:09:24.000You break up the indexing from the searching.
01:09:26.000There's a number of ways to break them up.
01:09:28.000You give people a bill of rights of privacy to make sure that their data doesn't get sold down the line to all these multinational corporations about every little aspect of your existence.
01:10:01.000You may have a shorter time between let me investigate what I want to buy and purchase than most people, Tim, just throwing that out there.
01:10:09.000But I want to go back to this digital digital.
01:11:08.000But just as you said, we should have power about what data is sold on us.
01:11:13.000Just like what we decide to give to them should be decided by us and not a huge terms of services that's 20 pages long that you can't even read.
01:11:50.000I say tend to be because there's obviously people like us here, people who watch the show who speak up, people like James O'Keefe, people like Jack, who turned his canceling into an advantage.
01:12:08.000You know, and then be like, I refuse until they fix these things.
01:12:11.000Well, the thing is, the big tech companies are kind of also shooting themselves in the foot as well by blocking all the really exciting people.
01:12:18.000All the edgy people, all the wild people, all of them are gone off of all the big social media platforms, whether you like them or not.
01:12:48.000So just like every fad, things come and go.
01:12:51.000I truly do believe Twitter, Facebook, Google, I mean, they're trying to cement themselves as powers that be forever, but I think their time is limited because just like it came, as fast and as quickly as it did, it could go as well as fast as quickly.
01:13:08.000It's asymmetrical war, and I think it's obvious that, you know, Everybody knows a good guy's lost, you know?
01:13:16.000You look at censorship getting worse, it's not getting better.
01:13:18.000You look at Joe Biden placating China, it's getting worse, it's not getting better.
01:13:22.000You look at the demonization and the vile, just disgusting things being said about Rush Limbaugh, it's just getting worse, it's not getting better.
01:13:30.000Conservatives didn't do that to Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
01:13:32.000I'm not trying to compare the two, like they're the same thing, but conservatives do not do this.
01:13:36.000Now, there's an exception that some people along with the right do say awful things, I've seen it.
01:13:53.000So, I mean, forgive me if I'm not overly optimistic.
01:13:55.000There are some things I am optimistic about.
01:13:57.000Michael Malice believes that we're, you know, these conversations and things like this show, that we're on a path towards actual victory.
01:14:04.000And maybe it's fair to say that getting worse means the night is always darkest before the dawn, and eventually they're going to implode under the weight of their own insanity and hypocrisy, and then regular people will finally say, I've had enough.
01:14:18.000I wonder when that moment will be, though, when people go to their windows, fling open the shades and say, I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore.
01:14:28.000It takes a serious personal traumatic experience in order to break people free of ego-invested mental models and narratives that they've adopted, right?
01:14:37.000Your mind is the battle space right now.
01:14:53.000We all have permeable barriers that might as well not even exist.
01:14:57.000Anybody can inject any old idea into your brain that they want, and they're taking control of your behavior through mind control.
01:15:04.000So it takes personal trauma to cause people To even reflect on whether or not their choice of mindset choice was healthy for them.
01:15:16.000And then to go through an experience where their ego detached from this mindset.
01:15:20.000That is a real phenomenon that must take place.
01:15:22.000That's why I really do believe that there is a bigger agenda, whether it's the algorithm or the newsfeed, to keep you in this negative thought loop, to keep you afraid, to keep you hating each other, to keep pushing this kind of race-baiting divide and conquer agenda.
01:15:37.000It's about your sex, your identity, your gender, your health.
01:15:41.000All these other ideas that they could find, that they could make you fight each other or hate each other over, they're exploiting to the fullest extent.
01:15:47.000And as you mentioned, Jack, your mind is like a muscle.
01:15:52.000And you get to choose whether you're going to be optimistic and positive or pessimistic and negative.
01:15:57.000And those choices are absolutely crucial.
01:16:00.000And when your perspective of the world is controlled by a few tech oligarchs, by a few billionaires, it's in their best interest to make you believe that all hope is lost, everything's very negative, everything's very bad, and nothing ever good is going to come out of anything.
01:16:16.000Resistance is futile, as they said in those big Hollywood movies.
01:16:19.000Your technology and culture will be assimilated.
01:16:22.000And in reality, they are they are a lot more fragile than we even know.
01:16:27.000This supports my theory of humility and why self trauma is imposing trauma on yourself is so important by humiliating yourself in front of people is similar to working out.
01:16:39.000If you don't create muscular trauma by working out, you will have trauma imposed on you from the outside because you will become so weak that you can't handle it.
01:17:29.000You're sick, you're fat, you're chained to a desk, and you believe in an ideology that wants you to commit suicide, basically.
01:17:35.000Isn't this the crazy thing, though, about the Great Reset?
01:17:38.000So one of the problems right now with this Great Reset stuff is that All the lockdown stuff we're seeing is making people horribly out of shape.
01:18:01.000I love the idea that we find happiness in just walking through the forest and maybe just rolling up your sleeves and doing a good day's hard work.
01:18:08.000I'd love if that was, you know, the movement and the idea.
01:18:11.000That behavior would make you stronger.
01:18:13.000Instead, they're calling it the Great Reset, but then locking in your house so you can't get sunlight, you can't get proper exercise, and you wither away and become depressed, angry, and feeble.
01:18:21.000I encourage you not to engage in behavior that aligns you to the spirit of the universe.
01:18:27.000The spirit of the universe is to create, is to build, is to expand.
01:18:34.000If you can align yourself with the energy of the universe, you will find yourself in alignment with I also find it devastating that people are getting censored off social media with varying opinions because it's this traumatic conversation when you have two opposing views and the visceral tension that's created.
01:18:52.000That strengthens us against future conflict.
01:18:56.000It's like, it's like we're all in an MMA match, you know, it's like you're watching, you know, Conor McGregor and he's fighting Mike Tyson, and then Facebook throws a bola, a bolas, into the ring and tangles up Conor McGregor's legs and he falls down and Mike Tyson starts hitting him and you're like, he didn't really win, you know?
01:19:13.000It was Facebook who threw the, was it called a bolas?
01:19:25.000I'm actually trying to make it as silly as possible, but no, it's legit.
01:19:27.000It's like these two ideas have entered the ring and they're fighting for the championship, and then someone's literally throwing weights to cripple one side so the ideas don't win.
01:19:37.000If your ideas need someone to basically cheat for you, they must not be good ideas.
01:19:43.000Yeah, or prevent the fight entirely, which is probably even worse than, well... Yeah, it's like they take Conor McGregor out, and then before he can even go in the ring, they're raising Mike Tyson's, you know, he's won!
01:19:53.000I know they don't fight in the same discipline, that's the point of the joke.
01:19:56.000To continue the hippy-dippy stuff that Jack was just talking about...
01:20:00.000Because you are talking about a lot of hippie stuff.
01:20:35.000They're caught in this cycle that the special elites want you to be in and then you're stuck being someone that you never even intended to be to from the very beginning.
01:20:43.000Things like meditation, things like gratitude, taking some time off even just to sit back.
01:21:04.000I do it every time before I go on the show.
01:21:05.000And it's incredibly important for me and my mental health to be able to literally take 10 minutes, at least 10 minutes, do a guided meditation on focus, on peace of mind, on clarity.
01:21:16.000And it really, really, really is key to your intentions and your goals.
01:21:19.000What helps me a lot, I think, with starting my business and getting my work was playing RPG video games when I was a kid.
01:21:50.000And I'm, I was, I really enjoyed it because you can kind of just go where you want to go and whether you actually level your, your character up and get them the abilities they need.
01:21:58.000If you have the skill, you can actually defeat some pretty serious bosses.
01:22:01.000And it was like, I was fighting one boss and I'm like, why don't I just go level up?
01:22:04.000This is like taking forever, but it was fun, right?
01:23:10.000I think this conversation about intention is amazing because we were talking about good and evil and what that actually is.
01:23:16.000And I think destruction isn't inherently evil, but if you intend evil through destruction or creation, then that's where evil comes from is your intentions.
01:23:28.000Well, a lot of people don't intend to do bad, and a lot of people are caught up in systems and institutions that are flawed and corrupted, and they're a part of systems that they don't see a way out of, that they see it as a norm to screw over the other person, to hurt the other person.
01:23:42.000It's their identity, and they can't lose sight of that, because if they do, they would have an ego death.
01:23:56.000And these are questions no one asks themselves.
01:23:59.000Once a year, I always take some time and I always write out my goals for a week, a month, a year, five year, 10 years down the line.
01:24:07.000I want to make sure that I'm on a path in my life and I update it every year where I'm going in a positive direction, always upgrading, always doing something that's keeping me focused on my mission.
01:24:18.000And having this kind of energy within me that is happy and content with me as a human being.
01:24:26.000I think you're right that people don't intend to do evil.
01:24:50.000And so all of these people on social media who are mocking the pain and suffering of a family who just lost someone to cancer, is that not evil?
01:25:38.000She doesn't have to like the guy, and I understand a lot of people really despise the guy, but what she said, I thought, was a nice way of saying, look, I'm critical of the guy, but, you know, here's a calm, rational approach.
01:25:50.000And I don't mean your intentions in the sense of like, Oh, I intended to do that.
01:25:53.000But intentionality, like mindfully choosing your actions, your behaviors, connecting to your values and being strong enough to embody them and to live them out in your life today.
01:26:04.000The system that we live in with social media has hijacked your brain chemistry and encouraged you down negative behaviors, right?
01:26:11.000Trolling people, flame wars, yada yada, we all know.
01:26:14.000What if there was a way to get a similar dopamine hit off of your electronics and communications, but it resulted in positive energy?
01:26:22.000It resulted in building things, creating things, instructing people and providing and protecting other people.
01:26:31.000What if there's, what if there's, but the reason why I'm, what network?
01:26:34.000No, but the reason why I'm bringing it up honestly, is because we just had this conversation inside the liminal order the other day.
01:26:40.000We have transferred all this energy that guys were using on social media to do things that were relatively unproductive and possibly negative.
01:26:47.000And now they're getting the reward from this engagement, but with people that are self-reinforcing this positive energy.
01:26:56.000They're teaching each other things and they're doing the same actions that they were on social media, putting out messages, connecting with people.
01:27:02.000But instead of getting a negative reinforced with dopamine, it's positively reinforced with dopamine now.
01:27:13.000You know why I really despise Twitter?
01:27:15.000It is a group of people that, mostly on the left, but some on the right do this.
01:27:20.000It's the exception on the right, it's the rule on the left.
01:27:23.000They formed communities of being awful to other people.
01:27:28.000And I think about growing up skateboarding.
01:27:31.000And I tell this a lot because really if you go skate, man, go to a skate park.
01:27:34.000If you go to a skate park, you've never skated before, there will be 100% of people there, maybe 99% will absolutely love to teach you everything they know about skateboarding, the rules, the culture.
01:27:48.000Learning about skateboarding trick names and history, it's oral tradition.
01:27:54.000There is no book that teaches you the language of the skateboarding jargon.
01:27:57.000Like if I said, nollie, hardflip, backcrook, bigspin out.
01:28:01.000People would be like, I have no idea this.
01:28:02.000But skateboarders immediately are like, oh, I know exactly what that is.
01:29:20.000Oh, well, you're talking about the servant leadership model in that regard.
01:29:23.000Then if you're the best kind of leadership is the one where you look around at the people on your team and you try to figure out how to make their lives better, easier, and the mission more easily accomplished.
01:29:46.000Just positive energy, even for people making the smallest amount of progress, right?
01:29:52.000That's the kind of environment you need to find yourselves in, guys.
01:29:55.000If you go to the gym and you're a total noob and you're fat and you're out of shape, But you go in there and you break a sweat and you put in the time.
01:30:03.000I guarantee you every one of those guys that's ripped and looks like he's on steroids and everything else is going to look at you and be like, good on you, dude.
01:30:17.000I'd be willing to bet if you were fat and out of shape and walked into a gym and just saw some dude working out who was like in shape and said, bro, teach me.
01:30:33.000Well, especially when what you're doing brings you joy and health and longevity and peace of mind and low stress and all these wonderful things.
01:31:27.000But you know for the most part people are still finding a way to go out do their thing and you know it's not it's not absolute it's it's it's crippled to a serious degree but at least people are still you know finding ways to have that community.
01:31:38.000I think man go to an open mic night you know play some music if you don't.
01:31:43.000Or uh if you're learning and just introduce yourself to some people and say hey it was a really great song you know i'm i'm here and they're like oh yeah we come here every thursday and just make friends and then everybody cheers each other on but i tell you man What you're talking about, Tim, is community.
01:32:49.000If you're like, Hey, I know I'm not trying to like get in on your thing and ruin it or whatever, but can we try a little bit, you know, a little bit of humility combined with community goes a long way.
01:33:48.000It's a hippy-dippy quote and it says, watch your thoughts, they lead to attitudes.
01:33:53.000Watch your attitudes, they lead to words.
01:33:54.000Watch your words, they lead to actions.
01:33:56.000Watch your actions, they lead to habits.
01:33:58.000Watch your habits, they form your character.
01:34:01.000Watch your character, it determines your destiny.
01:34:03.000You know, I find with intention creating— Your vibe is your tribe.
01:34:06.000A good method is you have the thought— Such a dirty hippie.
01:34:10.000There's a tendency to want to keep repeating the thought and keep thinking, I'm great, I'm great, I'm great, I'm happy, I'm happy.
01:34:15.000All you got to do is think it once and then have no thoughts and just let it resonate and just have faith in the process that once you create it once and just have no—but you have to have no thought.
01:34:28.000If you if you start to have negative thoughts, that will taint the process.
01:34:31.000And then you just allow with an empty mind it to, I don't know, collaborate.
01:34:36.000Yeah, happiness is an inside job, is what I like to say.
01:36:24.000Joint Decision says, question, what do you guys think, vaccine passport, travel, concerts, etc, etc, would you ever have Corbett report, oh, what do we think of vaccine passports, and would we ever have Corbett report on the show?
01:36:48.000When I went to Venezuela, I had to get one.
01:36:52.000And I had to get, I think, three different vaccines.
01:36:54.000And then the doctor gives you a card, and then he signs it and says which ones you've gotten.
01:36:59.000And then when you go, they, you have to have, like, I think you have to have yellow fever.
01:37:03.000That's like the main one you have to have.
01:37:04.000There's other individuals who, you know, I don't know.
01:37:07.000I don't I'm not advocating for this, but just print out forms online and just fill them out themselves and show up at the border and get back.
01:38:23.000They, they developed like 1840 where they thought that pathogens floated through the air and went into you.
01:38:28.000I think that sometimes it's like, um, like a SIM because sometimes I'll talk on the phone with someone and I'll hear him sniffling and I'll start to sniffle.
01:38:35.000So it's like the sympathetic vibrations.
01:38:47.000So I wonder if disease can be transmitted just through, like, experiencing it, you know, visually.
01:38:53.000Symptoms can, but I think it's fair to say that if you believe in science and you trust general human understanding of it, then you would know what a theory is.
01:39:00.000I'll tell you that for you to come on here and say no one knows, clearly you haven't.
01:39:39.000Because it's a scientific theory that I'm interested in studying more of, and I've found, talking on the phone with people that are experiencing symptoms, that I will recitate those symptoms sometimes.
01:43:07.000That's like kind of the sign, the thing I'm wrestling with the most in like my deepest subconscious is how do we deal with this Chinese Communist Party?
01:43:16.000Stop investing in it with our behaviors and the only reason China is as powerful as they are right now and continue to be as powerful is because of multinational corporations that the United States subsidizes and works with that is propping them up and giving them a ton of money.
01:43:41.000Jesse Moorfield says, Hey Tim, I know you aren't quite open to guest suggestions, but I think it would be awesome if you had Jordan Peterson's daughter, Michaela, on the show.
01:43:49.000I think she would slide easily into the convo.
01:43:53.000She has a standing invite, does she not?
01:45:21.000Wasn't one of the end scenes in one of those Nolan Batmans where he gets his version of Q or whatever to go out and link up everybody's cell phones so he can actually see everywhere in the whole city?
01:45:34.000No, he does it against the wishes of his His cue.
01:46:17.000Mason Whaling says, in the Boxer Rebellion, the Harmonious Fists began violence against Western influence by killing two priests, attacking not only the British, but U.S.
01:47:58.000Cosmic Collectibles says, would love for you to have the quartering on again to discuss the oppressive wokeness of the Magic the Gathering content creator community and their alienation of conservative players.
01:48:07.000It's pretty fantastic stuff. Thank you to you and your wife.
01:48:11.000Cosmic Collectible says, Would love for you to have the quartering on again to
01:48:16.000discuss the oppressive wokeness of the Magic the Gathering content creator community and their alienation of
01:48:21.000conservative players. GF and I sending love from Texas.
01:48:24.000Maybe you'll need to make your own Magic the Gathering.
01:48:27.000Because, look, for those that don't know what it is, it's one of the most popular card games in the world, physical, and it's not just about wokeness and critical theory and the weird things the company is doing.
01:49:44.000Magic is like if you go out and you have all the money, you can buy all the really powerful mythic cards and you just dominate your friends.
01:49:50.000But a game that's like out of the box, where everyone's on an even playing field, I think is the future.
01:49:54.000You know, honestly, it could be that the game is breaking because of some weird parallel with wokeism.
01:50:25.000Every—characters have to have some limits.
01:50:28.000What's happening now with a lot of the new sets that are coming out is it's just, like, bonkers power level that, like, I'm looking at it like, I don't want to play that.
01:50:35.000It's bad enough one person can win the game in, like, a turn or two.
01:50:38.000I'm just not interested in playing this game.
01:50:40.000And it may be something similar, where they just want everyone to have absurd amounts of power in these fictional worlds and these fantasies.
01:51:37.000No, no, but that card was actually even more racist.
01:51:40.000So, in the Destroy All Black Creatures, banning it was racist because the picture is a bunch of goblins and demons being, like, hit with a blast of light.
01:51:48.000And I'm like, what are they trying to imply by claiming that art showing demons being blasted by light is some kind of representation of the black community or in some way racist?
01:51:57.000But the other card, which is a black magic card, and says destroy all white creatures, shows a black ooze destroying a knight in like shining armor.
01:52:06.000And I'm like, so in both depictions, they have made racist... It's more like, that one should be the one that got banned.
01:52:14.000I can't take the woke as a... Wizards of the Coast, who bought Magic the Gathering, also bought Dungeons and Dragons rather, is woke-ifying Dungeons and Dragons.
01:53:40.000The thing about magic is that these are cards you need to play a game to win contests, and it's a sport.
01:53:45.000The thing about Dungeons & Dragons, if I'm gonna sit around with my friends and make fantasy jokes, like we've played before, people gotta understand Dungeons & Dragons are not people, for the most part, wearing wigs and costumes and pretending to be Gandalf.
01:53:58.000When we did it at the theater, it was joking about going to a bar and making everyone eat goat cheese.
01:54:03.000It's just drinking beers, eating pizza, and making jokes.
01:54:07.000Take mathematical risks with rolling dice.
01:54:59.000Thank you I also appreciate Tim your willingness to poke holes in the things I say because it makes me really Look at what I'm saying it holistically.
01:55:10.000But yeah, that guy's right Is why we have free speech and it's not to shoot each other down it's to engage our own ideas and find out where the Steel Plus, I always try to defend you when I'm here.
01:57:01.000Yeah, now what we were saying Luke, like the other day you were mentioning that there's like a $2,000 charge if you go to the UK or something.
01:57:07.000Well, in the UK, they make you quarantine.
01:57:10.000I think it's $2,400, translated from pounds, that you have to stay in a hotel.
01:58:08.000So you gotta go to TimCast.com and find the segments like Luke Rants because it was Luke basically saying Reza Aslan can eat human brain on TV and they're monetized and supported and given front page access but his channel gets censored and restricted by YouTube.
01:58:29.000It's just, you know, sometimes it's unfair and you gotta vent and you gotta express that, but I've been doing like a lot of hardcore journalism on WeAreChange and it's unforgiving work and I have no regrets.
01:59:44.000Two microphones coming from two directions.
01:59:48.000Drew says, read the White House and the House's website and read about how Biden called Xi Jinping for two hours about our infrastructure and the House having meetings today on reparations.
01:59:59.000Yeah, the reparations thing was interesting.
02:00:01.000I think, I don't know if you were, did you bring it up, Lydia, earlier?
02:00:50.000OK, Jack, compromise your morals and tell us what you would do at the threat of a gunpoint right now.
02:00:54.000If I have no choice in the matter, actually, you know, if you're going to be honest, African-Americans in the United States got a raw deal.
02:01:19.000You know, I'm all about repairing society, but giving people that are worth several hundred thousand, a dude that makes $200,000 a year, giving him $5,000 because of the color of his skin is weird to me because that doesn't really repair society.
02:01:31.000You're not participating in the hypothetical.
02:01:53.000I don't care if they gave it to one guy whose name was John Smith, and they were like, here's 1.9 trillion dollars, it's going to an American citizen.
02:02:00.000That would be worse if you gave it all to one guy, because that was the first thing I thought.
02:02:03.000That's probably true, because then he'd spend money on, like, politics or whatever.
02:03:29.000The, like, grain is, like, if you look, if you, I forgot what the charts was, because I'm not an expert on this stuff, but I was looking at some financial Twitter accounts talking about grain is starting to look like it's going to skyrocket in price, and it's going to ripple across basically all food.
02:03:45.000Yeah, grains and other agricultural goods.
02:03:47.000Once corn goes up, everything else goes up around it.
02:03:50.000I'm already hearing from friends, they're like, I went to the store and I couldn't believe how expensive it was.
02:03:55.000So the other option is the government's gonna have to subsidize these companies to keep the prices low, which means they're gonna have to print more money to subsidize them.
02:04:02.000Which will cause more inflation and make the prices go up.
02:04:04.000Or the prices go up and they don't subsidize it and then people can't afford it.
