Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Biden Demanded Saudis Help Democrats WIN Midterms In SHOCKING Scandal w-Jim Antle

00:00:00.000 So Joe Biden got caught in a very serious quid pro quo.

00:00:24.000 Democrats are threatening to pull military aid from Saudi Arabia because Saudi Arabia won't help them win the midterms, which is, well, I can't say I'm surprised. 0.60

00:00:33.000 They claimed that Donald Trump was doing all of this, which he wasn't.

00:00:36.000 Ukraine claimed there was no quid pro quo.

00:00:39.000 And now the gist of the story is that the Democrats went to Saudi Arabia and said, do not halt oil production for one month, just one month.

00:00:48.000 And then after that, do whatever you want.

00:00:50.000 Why just one month?

00:00:52.000 Is there something big happening in the next 25 days?

00:00:55.000 So, of course, they'll deny it.

00:00:57.000 But now you have Democratic members of Congress that are putting forward legislation to basically pull aid from Saudi Arabia.

00:01:04.000 Biden is threatening Saudi Arabia, saying, we're going to be looking at everything we can.

00:01:09.000 This is them basically saying quid pro quo.

00:01:11.000 You better give us what we want.

00:01:14.000 Help us win or else.

00:01:16.000 Let's see how much the mainstream media actually carries this story.

00:01:19.000 Surprisingly, CNBC is picking it up.

00:01:21.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:01:22.000 Plus, oh, I love this.

00:01:23.000 I just want to mention this.

00:01:23.000 It's kind of a passive story, but Snopes acknowledging true gas was under $2 during Donald Trump.

00:01:30.000 We've also got on the ballot in Oregon.

00:01:32.000 It's a provision inching towards secession from Oregon.

00:01:37.000 That's Eastern Oregon into greater Idaho, which is very, very interesting.

00:01:41.000 And oh, I love this one so much.

00:01:43.000 AOC gets heckled by what appears to be progressives for supporting war in Ukraine and funding the Azov battalion.

00:01:51.000 So, you earned it, AOC.

00:02:56.000 It won't even appear on YouTube and they have to try and find it.

00:02:58.000 It's hard for them to find.

00:02:59.000 Some are like they gotta get someone to send them the URL.

00:03:25.000 Oh, okay.

00:03:25.000 I hope the answer to that question is no.

00:03:26.000 I mean, I mean is yes, not no.

00:03:28.000 It can be stopped.

00:03:28.000 It was, it was yes.

00:03:29.000 I don't know if I rewrote it now, I might be a little more skeptical, but yeah.

00:03:33.000 I actually think, you know, as crazy as things are getting, I'm very optimistic about everything that's happening.

00:03:39.000 Because it's getting crazy because they're getting desperate, you know?

00:03:42.000 They're thrashing around all violently and crazy, but their ratings are in the gutter.

00:03:46.000 People aren't paying attention anymore.

00:03:47.000 They're getting exposed.

00:03:47.000 So thanks for hanging out, man.

00:04:25.000 Hi everyone, Ian Crossland here from iancrossland.net.

00:04:27.000 I'm wearing one of my favorite shirts.

00:04:29.000 Tim actually got me this as a gift one day.

00:04:31.000 You know, it's funny because we'll go out, I'll go to the mall or go to some weird store and I'll see something and I'm like, that's Ian.

00:04:31.000 Thanks again, Tim.

00:04:37.000 You know, like I saw that hoodie and I was like, that's an Ian hoodie.

00:04:40.000 It really, I've become more the hoodie as I've had it longer.

00:04:44.000 We're secretly behind the scenes shaping Ian's character without him realizing.

00:04:48.000 We went to Cooper Rock in West Virginia and they have a barrel full of rocks you buy by the ounce.

00:04:48.000 I love it.

00:04:52.000 I've got a bunch of them here set up in front of me.

00:04:55.000 Ian likes rocks, so I filled up a little bag and I bought it and it was like five bucks.

00:04:58.000 I massaged this ruby throughout the show from time to time.

00:05:01.000 And I'll let you guys know if you want to follow me on Mines, I'll let you know where I got or what company made this because people have been asking me if you want to get one for yourself.

00:05:08.000 What's happening, Serge?

00:05:09.000 Hey guys, I'm here again.

00:05:10.000 I am reading the comments if you guys saw me yesterday or in the evening, usually just until the night is up, until I feel like going to sleep.

00:05:17.000 So I'll see you guys again tonight, later on.

00:05:20.000 Take it away, Tim.

00:05:20.000 Serge is pressing the buttons.

00:05:22.000 Alright, here's the first story.

00:05:23.000 We got this from TimCast.com.

00:05:25.000 Biden wanted OPEC.

00:05:27.000 OPEC Plus cuts delayed until after the midterms, Saudi Arabia says.

00:05:32.000 Biden now faces allegations of quid pro quo similar to alleged deal that was the basis for impeaching former President Donald Trump.

00:05:41.000 This is from Hans Monk.

00:05:43.000 He says, this is extremely damning.

00:05:45.000 In Trump's case, the quote, victim of the quid pro quo, Zelensky emphatically denied there was any suggestion of a quid pro quo.

00:05:52.000 In Biden's case, the victim is formally accusing the U.S.

00:05:55.000 of just that.

00:05:56.000 Quick and simple gist of the story.

00:05:59.000 Biden administration goes to Saudi Arabia and says, we know you're going to start cutting the production of oil.

00:06:05.000 Wait one month.

00:06:07.000 Just one month.

00:06:09.000 That's uh conveniently just after the midterms.

00:06:12.000 Saudi Arabia said no we're not going to do that and it's we're not going to do it for economic reasons.

00:06:16.000 Now it was initially reported that they were siding with Russia.

00:06:18.000 That's one way you can frame it and I think the media jumped at that because it kind of absolves the Democrats of any kind of a responsibility.

00:06:26.000 That it was really about just American interests and stopping the war.

00:06:30.000 Now we learned It was for one month.

00:06:33.000 If the Democrats' goal was really to help the American people with lower gas prices and stop the war with Russia, to stop Russia being able to finance their war, they wouldn't have said, keep production up for one extra month.

00:06:45.000 They would have said, do not cut your production.

00:06:48.000 Do not let Russia do this.

00:06:49.000 Instead, it was obvious.

00:06:51.000 They wanted a political advantage, a quid pro quo.

00:06:54.000 And when they didn't get it, what we see now are the Democrats threatening Saudi Arabia with pulling military aid and other support.

00:07:00.000 You know if they really wanted to help they would ... allow domestic energy exploration and production ... they're not doing that in the name of green energy we're ... shipping in oil from Saudi Arabia all in the name of ... fighting climate change which is absolutely absurd how many ... Yemenese children had to die for the US petrodollar and now ... we're at a situation with the Saudi Empire is a slapping ... Joe Biden back and forth and if you remember just a couple ...

00:07:24.000 Joe Biden had his landmark trip to Saudi Arabia where he ... was going to turn on the faucet to oil and after that ... trip the Biden administration literally released the ... statement saying Saudi Arabia is on board they're going to ... help us lower gas prices Saudi Arabia came out and said no ... Joe's lying here and now we're finding out according to Saudi ... Arabia which is absolutely such a big.

00:07:44.000 Bombshell when it comes to Saudi Arabia saying this on the ... world stage because of the petrodollar because of Yemen ... because of how connected the United States was especially ... when it came to financing radical jihadist all throughout ... the Middle East with Saudi Arabia you see the decoupling ... of Saudi Arabia and America that to me is the biggest story ... here which will have huge ramifications on the financial ... economy not just with gas prices but with the purchasing ... power of the US dollar.

00:08:11.000 No. 1.00

00:08:12.000 Just incompetent, crazy leadership. 0.94

00:08:15.000 And this is not the first time we had a quid pro Joe, which I think it should be changed to after this latest revelation. 0.92

00:08:21.000 And Biden has a history of this.

00:08:23.000 Yeah, he did this in 2015, especially when it came to the prosecutor in Ukraine looking into Burisma Oil and his son's connections to this.

00:08:30.000 He bragged with the president of the Council on Foreign Relations about firing him while holding aid money hostage to that particular country.

00:08:38.000 So again, this is nothing new.

00:08:40.000 This is a quid pro Joe.

00:08:41.000 But this was done in such plain sight, other than the one month aspect of it.

00:08:46.000 I mean, he went hat in hand over to Saudi Arabia very publicly.

00:08:51.000 He denied that he was going hat in hand, that it was about oil.

00:08:54.000 It was about the war effort, Russia.

00:08:58.000 It was about The environment, climate change, all of these other things that he was going to go over there and fist bump with people.

00:09:04.000 He had said on the campaign trail he was going to make a pariah that he was going to isolate because of their role in Jamal Khashoggi's death, a murder.

00:09:17.000 But their public reaction, even to when OPEC Plus cut the production, I said good.

00:09:22.000 felt like they felt double-crossed.

00:09:24.000 Yeah.

00:09:25.000 It wasn't so so much of this really happened.

00:09:29.000 Really you could just watch television and see that this was unfolding.

00:09:32.000 But the one month aspect of it is really what's most damaging.

00:09:34.000 I say good.

00:09:35.000 I am a man hearing that Joe Biden is reeling from this makes me it fills me with what's

00:09:43.000 that shot in Freud.

00:09:45.000 Yeah, because Joe Biden has hampered U.S.

00:09:48.000 energy production.

00:09:49.000 Joe Biden said that he wants to get us off fossil fuels.

00:09:53.000 He's bragged about it.

00:09:54.000 He campaigned on it.

00:09:55.000 Congratulations.

00:09:56.000 You will now reap what you have sown.

00:09:58.000 You wanted to shut down Keystone.

00:10:00.000 You wanted to ban fracking.

00:10:01.000 You wanted to deny permits for energy exploration in the United States.

00:10:04.000 I get it.

00:10:04.000 A lot of people are concerned about carbon and fossil fuels and all that stuff.

00:10:07.000 Great.

00:10:08.000 Now those people who are angry can go look at the pump and ask themselves why it costs so much money.

00:10:12.000 But hey, as long as they know they're making it more expensive for themselves, I got no problem with them advocating for something they believe in.

00:10:18.000 The problem is, these people are screaming.

00:10:21.000 There's that viral video where this woman's like, it was $95 to fill up my tank! 1.00

00:10:26.000 The religious right did this!

00:10:27.000 No, you did it to yourself.

00:10:29.000 You voted for Joe Biden, who bragged about doing it.

00:10:31.000 And now, because of this, because he campaigned on what you wanted, he goes and he bends the knee to Saudi Arabia and he says, come on, man, please, please, we need gas.

00:10:39.000 We don't produce it anymore because of me.

00:10:41.000 And then they laugh and they say, nah, it's OK, we're going to work with Russia on this one.

00:10:44.000 And then he pouts and he has a temper tantrum and says, we're going to cut off aid from your country.

00:10:49.000 And then the media dances around the fact that this is overt corruption on behalf of the president, who has done two things.

00:10:56.000 He has hampered energy production in the U.S.

00:10:57.000 for political gain, and then he begs Saudi Arabia to make concessions to the United States just so we can win the midterms.

00:11:05.000 And when they don't do it, he and other Democrats threaten them. 1.00

00:11:09.000 Talk about corrupt garbage. 0.99

00:11:10.000 There's also a lot of other things happening behind the scenes geopolitically. 0.99

00:11:13.000 A lot of people are saying Saudi Arabia is with Russia, but I think it's even beyond that because Saudi Arabia makes most of their money selling oil.

00:11:21.000 What has this administration promised to do?

00:11:24.000 Get off oil.

00:11:25.000 This directly is going to piss off the Saudi Arabians. 1.00

00:11:28.000 We're saying our whole economy is at stake here, especially if the whole Western world gets off oil.

00:11:32.000 Why are you pushing these policies?

00:11:34.000 This is going to, of course, hurt us financially.

00:11:36.000 So now they're at a situation saying, you know what?

00:11:38.000 These people are not going to be dependent on us.

00:11:40.000 So let's just take what we could get right now. 0.97

00:11:42.000 Let's make sure we get a good profit off of The stupid policies put on by Joe Biden that, of course, hindered domestic energy exploration and production. 0.99

00:11:51.000 This is a deliberate action by the Biden administration that just blew back in its face, and correctly so. 0.99

00:11:57.000 People should be pissed.

00:11:59.000 People should be angry that the government tried to bamboozle them for a month, tried to lie to them for a month just for a better rating, just for a better outcome when it came to the midterm elections. 0.92

00:12:09.000 That's just disgusting.

00:12:11.000 This is CNBC reporting Biden administration as Saudi Arabia to postpone OPEC decision by a month.

00:12:11.000 I want to show you this.

00:12:18.000 And this is CNBC saying notably the White House's request would have delayed the decision until after the US midterm elections.

00:12:25.000 And just that there was no long term protection of gas prices for the American people.

00:12:30.000 It was literally just just wait one month.

00:12:34.000 What would that accomplish?

00:12:35.000 Let's say the election has nothing to do with it.

00:12:37.000 What does a one-month delay do for anyone?

00:12:40.000 Does it end the war?

00:12:41.000 No.

00:12:41.000 Does it stop Russia from financing their war?

00:12:43.000 It all would just carry on.

00:12:43.000 No.

00:12:45.000 All it does, the one thing, is it protects Democrats by keeping gas prices just slightly, slightly down up until the midterm elections, and then afterwards, off a cliff.

00:12:56.000 Rasmussen also says that there's a direct statistical correlation between approval ratings and gas prices.

00:12:56.000 Yeah.

00:13:02.000 So, of course, they try to bamboozle.

00:13:04.000 They try to manipulate the situation just so they could get more power that they're going to, of course, use to screw you over even more, which is crazy.

00:13:04.000 They try to lie.

00:13:12.000 Let me just I want to fill in the picture of the quid pro quo.

00:13:14.000 Here's CNBC again.

00:13:15.000 Biden threatens consequences for Saudi Arabia after OPEC cut, but his options are limited.

00:13:21.000 They are outright telling you right now, the president is threatening this country because they wouldn't help him, his party, win an election.

00:13:30.000 Now we have the Guardian.

00:13:31.000 Democrats issue fresh ultimatum to Saudi Arabia over oil production. 0.74

00:13:36.000 And these people, man, this is dirty.

00:13:39.000 What do you do?

00:13:40.000 What do we do?

00:13:40.000 Well, one thing is to read.

00:13:42.000 I mean, that's one way we can we can do things, but also, you know, become more knowledgeable on what's going on.

00:13:47.000 I read the response from the Saudi Arabian kingdom.

00:13:50.000 The last it's a great it's a short read.

00:13:52.000 It's like eight or ten paragraphs.

00:13:53.000 The last paragraph says the kingdom.

00:13:56.000 Affirms that it it it view it's a typo that it view its or maybe it's not it view its relationship with the United States of America It's a strategic one that serves the interests of both countries.

00:14:05.000 It's very plainly saying yo We're only doing this because it benefits us both don't screw us over there.

00:14:11.000 Are they a nuclear power at this point?

00:14:13.000 I believe that have we given them all the nuclear secrets.

00:14:15.000 They have bought nuclear bomb.

00:14:16.000 I There's rumors that they did get a nuclear bomb through U.S.

00:14:21.000 intelligence. 0.85

00:14:21.000 At this point, I think they're very happy to cut ties with the liberal economic order if they get screwed. 0.85

00:14:25.000 Yep.

00:14:26.000 That's why they've already been like, look, OPEC plus includes Russia.

00:14:29.000 Right.

00:14:30.000 So they're outright just like, we're good. 0.99

00:14:32.000 Screw you.

00:14:33.000 And remember when Antony Blinken was talking to the Chinese official and China said to his face, you are not negotiating from a position of power? 0.99

00:14:42.000 Man, the U.S.

00:14:42.000 has come a long way.

00:14:43.000 When Donald Trump was president, he really was reigniting something about America.

00:14:49.000 Whether you like it or not, there was fear that people looked at America as like, Trump was a wild card. 0.98

00:14:56.000 He was a madman for, you know, in the good way and the bad way. 0.95

00:15:00.000 Now under Joe Biden, it's a joke. 0.96

00:15:02.000 Saudi Arabia is laughing at him.

00:15:03.000 He's trying to play dirty politics so he can win political power.

00:15:07.000 I think ultimately it's going to blow up in their face. 1.00

00:15:09.000 It's the economy, stupid. 1.00

00:15:11.000 Republicans, I think they're going to see victory. 1.00

00:15:13.000 We've now got more polls, a new poll coming out saying that in the toss-up states, Republicans are up five points.

00:15:20.000 So when you look at the generic ballot, it shows Democrats are leading, but that's polling people in AOC's district.

00:15:25.000 We don't really care about that.

00:15:26.000 They have so many districts that are so blue and so lopsided.

00:15:31.000 That's why they're all talking about why everything should be decided by national popular vote now.

00:15:35.000 But that's not the way the constitutional structure of this country works, for very good reason.

00:15:40.000 And they're desperate, they're reeling.

00:15:44.000 Inflation in general has remained a problem.

00:15:48.000 Gas prices are going to go up again.

00:15:49.000 All of the things that they were hoping would improve by November aren't really looking that inspiring.

00:15:55.000 You know, it's funny, there's a bunch of memes going around where, who is it?

00:15:59.000 Ted Cruz tweeted something.

00:16:00.000 Did you guys see this tweet from Ted Cruz where he's like, here's a list of problems that have occurred under Biden's administration?

00:16:06.000 And it's like 12 things.

00:16:07.000 And then I'm seeing all of these tweets getting screenshot and shared.

00:16:11.000 Where they're like, Republicans voted, there were bills to solve all of those problems and Republicans voted no on all of them. 0.98

00:16:18.000 And I'm like, imagine being stupid enough to think that was a rebuttal. 0.97

00:16:22.000 The Republicans are not in the majority and their votes are meaningless in this capacity. 0.99

00:16:26.000 What you are actually saying is that all of these problems occurred with a Democrat-controlled Congress and executive branch.

00:16:33.000 Meaning every attempt to solve these problems either didn't work or actually made the problem happen in the first place.

00:16:38.000 Inflation Reduction Act.

00:16:40.000 You have core inflation running at a 40 year high.

00:16:42.000 Inflation Reduction Act passed.

00:16:44.000 It's law.

00:16:45.000 President Biden signed it into law.

00:16:47.000 So you can't really say that Republicans voting against this bill caused inflation.

00:16:53.000 Exactly.

00:16:54.000 But there are people who fall for this stuff.

00:16:57.000 I've been thinking about the cost-benefit analysis of producing carbon in the United States, because it's dirty.

00:17:02.000 It's admittedly dirty.

00:17:03.000 In fact, I found out just a few days ago, I was watching an interview with John Fetterman, the guy who's running for Congress in Pennsylvania, which is a part of the Congress.

00:17:12.000 And he lives across, or lived at that period, across the street from the last steel mill in his town.

00:17:17.000 I mean, it was just churning out steel, and he had a stroke.

00:17:21.000 So, like, was that related to living across the street from a steel mill?

00:17:23.000 I mean, I can't say it's unrelated.

00:17:25.000 I don't know that.

00:17:26.000 Yeah, I think it might be related.

00:17:27.000 I think any industrial setting is going to have a negative effect.

00:17:31.000 Dirty, dirty.

00:17:31.000 Oh, horribly.

00:17:32.000 But at this point, it's recapture the carbon.

00:17:35.000 Capture the carbon as it's coming out of the smokestack.

00:17:37.000 Don't just stop producing it.

00:17:39.000 That's my opinion.

00:17:40.000 I agree.

00:17:41.000 And I've actually had a lot of conversations because of what you've said, Ian, about graphene, carbon capture from the atmosphere for the production of graphene.

00:17:48.000 And whether it's for the production of graphene or not, it's a really interesting point because we talk about the turn of the century in New York, where they were scared that horse manure would be everywhere.

00:17:58.000 Then we invented cars and all of a sudden there was zero horse manure.

00:18:00.000 Look at that.

00:18:01.000 The technology solved the problem.

00:18:01.000 The problem solved.

00:18:03.000 Now we have carbon in the atmosphere.

00:18:05.000 A technology will come about, and it will solve this problem.

00:18:09.000 There will be a new problem we'll eventually solve.

00:18:11.000 I have tremendous confidence in human ingenuity and technological advancement.

00:18:15.000 Yeah, Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, was just talking about carbon, but he was talking about carbon sequestration and how it's happening and the private sector is taking it on.

00:18:24.000 It's going to be a bigger and bigger deal and more important.

00:18:27.000 Luke, who is the carbon they're trying to reduce?

00:18:29.000 You.

00:18:29.000 And it's not, it's carbon transmutation.

00:18:31.000 You're taking it from one form and turning it into another form.

00:18:34.000 But you're not reducing the amount of it.

00:18:35.000 You're just repopulating it.

00:18:37.000 You're replacing it.

00:18:38.000 Luke, who is the carbon they're trying to reduce?

00:18:41.000 You.

00:18:41.000 You!

00:18:42.000 No, but the funny thing is when they talk about population reduction, and they do.

00:18:46.000 They talk about, you know, outside of any kind of conspiracies, you actually have Bill Gates saying, we need to slow population growth.

00:18:52.000 They're quite literally saying, the humans, that they want to reduce that, you are the carbon.

00:18:58.000 I mean, once you reduce energy, you reduce human potential and human growth.

00:19:02.000 So I think that's why there's a deliberate agenda to say, hey, no, you know, we got to get off fossil fuels.

00:19:07.000 Hey, we have to get off this particular energy source.

00:19:09.000 We have to get off something that, of course, has been running and helping humans progress in society.

00:19:14.000 And that is just absolutely detrimental.

00:19:17.000 That's going to lead to absolute havoc.

00:19:19.000 And I think it's very fair to say that we are fast approaching a situation that is going to tank the economy deliberately in order to bring on the central controllers so they could come in and come in with their solutions to the problems that they caused.

00:19:32.000 I want to take you back in time, my friends.

00:19:34.000 I want to give you a warm memory, something that you can take and press to your bosom and feel good at night.

00:19:41.000 And it is a story from Snopes.

00:19:44.000 Snopes?

00:19:44.000 I know, I can already hear the gasps from the crowd.

00:19:46.000 Did U.S. 0.96

00:19:47.000 gas prices drop below $2 under Trump?

00:19:51.000 They want you to forget gas was under $2 when Trump was in office, one Twitter user posted.

00:19:56.000 Claim.

00:19:57.000 National gas price averages for regular fuel dropped below $2 per gallon during US President Trump's term in office.

00:20:03.000 Snopes has determined this to be true.

00:20:07.000 In early October 2022 received inquiries from readers who asked if it is true the national average gas price fell under $2 per gallon.

00:20:14.000 That's right, $1.84 per gallon in April 2020.

00:20:18.000 They do want you to forget it because right now as you are being squeezed out with a near $4 average across the country and it going up, Joe Biden is desperately begging Saudi Arabia to postpone it just long enough Yeah.

00:20:31.000 for them to win the midterms.

00:20:33.000 So while that is going on and Joe Biden is facing, well we'll see if there's any real

00:20:38.000 consequences but as long as we're talking about it and calling him out, while he's facing

00:20:41.000 that news story, I want to make sure everybody remembers gas dropped below $2 under Trump.

00:20:47.000 Wait, wait, wait, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

00:20:50.000 Here's the, I want to give a shout out because they did change the article.

00:20:54.000 When I tweeted this story out, the claim said, national gas prices for regular fuel dropped below $2 per gallon during US President Donald Trump's first term in office.

00:21:04.000 And I tweeted that screenshot, Six Hexenhammer responded, pointing to first term and then said, they know.

00:21:12.000 They're implying Trump's going to win.

00:21:13.000 He's going to come back in 2024.

00:21:15.000 Well this definitely gives him an opportunity to do so and as you guys know I'm not a big fan of Donald Trump but under his administration imported oil dropped by 25% he did allow exploration he did allow production which brought more oil on the world market and with more oil.

00:21:31.000 The demand of it went down and the price of it went down as well.

00:21:34.000 So when you look at those kind of policies, they did make a huge impact because when you have cheap energy, you have an ability for human beings to progress.

00:21:43.000 And on that marker, Donald Trump has something to stand on and brag about since, of course, this administration is doing the opposite of that and wrecking havoc on our financial system deliberately.

00:21:53.000 It's funny, it's like we were a net exporter of fuel, weren't we?

00:21:56.000 You know?

00:21:57.000 In 2020.

00:21:58.000 And gas price was dirt cheap.

00:21:59.000 And now we're desperately importing and gas is very expensive.

00:22:03.000 How's that?

00:22:04.000 And it's just a series of self-inflicted problems.

00:22:07.000 I mean, the border is a self-inflicted problem.

00:22:10.000 The energy costs are a self-inflicted problem.

00:22:14.000 All of the money we're spending in Ukraine is largely, I mean, obviously it's to some degree a Putin-inflicted problem, but it's largely a self-inflicted problem.

00:22:21.000 I want to pause there and put a note on that.

00:22:24.000 Putin did start this war, but the United States choosing to be involved is a self-inflicted problem.

00:22:30.000 That's right.

00:22:31.000 Yes, absolutely.

00:22:31.000 And to be involved without any scrutiny, without any end goal, without any... I'm sorry.

00:22:38.000 How does this happen?

00:22:40.000 There's no declaration of war.

00:22:41.000 How is it that we get roped into sending billions of dollars, a hundred billion?

00:22:46.000 What's the number so far?

00:22:48.000 We didn't vote on this.

00:22:49.000 Congress didn't, did Congress declare war and say that we're able to do this?

00:22:54.000 The $40 billion they voted on, but yeah, the drawdown packages and all of those things, those don't come from Congress at all.

00:23:00.000 This is war.

00:23:01.000 This is providing intelligence and resources to fight Russia.

00:23:07.000 And what, they don't need to declare war in this capacity?

00:23:10.000 We're going to be dragged into it now.

00:23:11.000 I mean, if they're allowed to get away with this, then there never will be, I mean, there hasn't been, they've not declared war since what, World War II?

00:23:19.000 Declaration of war has kind of become one of those dead letters.

00:23:22.000 It's sort of a nicety.

00:23:23.000 They're reducing the constitution to really the Roberts rules of order, like the process related things of like how many people get to serve in Congress, what their ages of eligibility are.

00:23:33.000 We take those things very seriously.

00:23:35.000 Enumerated power is not very much.

00:23:37.000 I'm looking at the average crude oil price, and it's true.

00:23:41.000 In April 2020, it was 21 bucks.

00:23:44.000 But in like January of 2020, it was 61.

00:23:46.000 So it dropped massively.

00:23:50.000 And then the pandemic struck and then it started to scale back up to 100.

00:23:54.000 And so from like 21 in April of 2020 to 116, six times, five times the amount in June.

00:24:01.000 And it's got to be correlating with inflation, which is also self-inflicted.

00:24:05.000 I think if you look at the average of his presidency, it was like $2.30 or something.

00:24:09.000 So even if we were to take out that low point, it was still better under Trump.

00:24:15.000 And it's simple.

00:24:16.000 When Trump is green-lighting energy exploration and production, Speculation on these things are that supply will meet demand, and so the price stabilizes.

00:24:26.000 When Joe Biden comes in and starts axing permits and shutting down pipelines, speculation is that we will not have a supply to meet demand, and the price skyrockets.

00:24:36.000 Just from speculation alone.

00:24:37.000 Not to mention, we do have now a reduced supply.

00:24:40.000 And then Biden goes to Saudi Arabia and says, we desperately need production to go up, and they say, no.

00:24:46.000 So what does Biden do?

00:24:47.000 He drains the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

00:24:50.000 He's like, imagine, I want you to imagine it this way.

00:24:53.000 Your roommate quits his job.

00:24:56.000 No longer making any money.

00:24:58.000 And you're like, bro, you need a job.

00:24:59.000 No, no, no, don't worry.

00:25:00.000 I'm gonna ask my mom.

00:25:00.000 My mom will give me money.

00:25:01.000 My mom's gonna, my mom's good.

00:25:03.000 She's gonna give me money. 0.84

00:25:04.000 And then every time his mom says no, he goes into your rainy day fund and pulls cash and says, no, no, no, don't worry, don't worry.

00:25:12.000 It's just, we gotta pay the rent, you know, but my mom will come through.

00:25:15.000 And now the rainy day jar is almost empty.

00:25:17.000 I'm thinking about like, what were you gonna say?

00:25:19.000 Well, the strategic oil reserve is at one of its lowest points in decades.

00:25:24.000 So now you have to think about it.

00:25:26.000 This was predominantly, I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, was created because of World War II, just so the United States has enough oil and energy to actually fight a war.

00:25:34.000 So with these levels being low, we're not really at preparedness levels from a lot of an analyst's perspectives to be able to fight a war.

00:25:41.000 Now, if there is a war now, we're kind of stuck in a very bad situation.

00:25:45.000 That's what exactly I was thinking is.

00:25:46.000 It seems like whoever's in charge and command, which is obviously the commander in chief, the President Joe Biden, doesn't, has this like illusion that we're invulnerable or something.

00:25:56.000 Like the way they surrendered in Afghanistan and like let all those people die and let all that infrastructure, however many billions of dollars worth of equipment left over for the Taliban without, you think there's no consequences?

00:26:06.000 Because we're America.

00:26:07.000 No one's going to attack us.

00:26:08.000 We're fine.

00:26:09.000 Like you can't just cut off The oil that fuels the jets and the bombers and the tanks and the planes and the factories that make the steel and, and the plastics that we use for all of our phones and our roads and our like, and expect that no one's going to attack us in the meantime, while we don't have a supply.

00:26:27.000 That's when countries get attacked is when they're when they're at their weakest.

00:26:31.000 You need a defensive mechanism in place.

00:26:33.000 Well, at the same time he was doing all of this, too, he was attacking domestic oil producers, attacking domestic energy producers, and saying that they're the reason that prices are up, and it's price gouging.

00:26:44.000 And he's really done this with every vaguely inflation-related topic.

00:26:48.000 I mean, all politicians to some extent do this, but Biden's really brazen.

00:26:52.000 Everything going wrong in the economy is some external factor that is outside of his control.

00:26:58.000 He has nothing to do with it.

00:27:00.000 Everything that goes right in the economy is a direct result of his policies.

00:27:04.000 It's Putin's price hike, if you remember.

00:27:06.000 He's been saying, it's just transitory.

00:27:08.000 It's great that it's here.

00:27:09.000 It's actually good that it's here.

00:27:10.000 I actually started my video off today with a compilation of Biden within the last two years saying, hey, you know, inflation, it's not here.

00:27:18.000 It's transitory.

00:27:19.000 It's crazy.

00:27:19.000 And you just see the progression, progression of it.

00:27:21.000 And now we are here with new inflation numbers that should terrify people as, of course, these are manipulated numbers and the real life numbers are a lot more daunting that, of course, aren't really published, aren't really talked about, but should be.

00:27:32.000 If you live long enough, everything is transitory.

00:27:34.000 That's right.

00:27:35.000 Life is transitory.

00:27:37.000 So this whole war, don't worry, it's transitory.

00:27:39.000 Yeah.

00:27:39.000 For 20 some odd years, we got to experience Afghanistan.

00:27:44.000 Amazing.

00:27:45.000 Well, I want to hand it to Joe Biden.

00:27:50.000 What's the right way to phrase this?

00:27:52.000 He has accomplished what his detractors thought he would accomplish, but boy did he do it tenfold and did it faster than people expected.

00:27:59.000 I mean, I knew war was coming.

00:28:01.000 I was saying like, look, you vote for Biden, we're going to get war.

00:28:03.000 I didn't know it was going to be World War III.

00:28:04.000 Wow.

00:28:06.000 You know, well beyond my expectations.

00:28:08.000 Biden, you did it.

00:28:10.000 It's like bowling a perfect game of gutter balls.

00:28:13.000 It's like, well, you have consistency there, but we didn't think you'd do that bad.

00:28:17.000 There you go.

00:28:18.000 Yeah, I remember when Biden first got in, I'm like, the probability and chances of us going to war is high now, especially in Ukraine.

00:28:25.000 And it's been absolutely true. 0.71

00:28:27.000 Now, You know, this leads us to kind of question it.

00:28:30.000 Is it because he's a bad leader?

00:28:32.000 Is it because he's a failed leader? 0.99

00:28:33.000 Is it because he's an incompetent leader?

00:28:35.000 Or is this a part of a bigger ruse, a bigger plan in order to bring something else in that will of course profit and benefit off of these problems that are being deliberately caused right now?

00:28:46.000 It could be both.

00:28:47.000 Because I do think he's incompetent.

00:28:49.000 Well, based on the Afghanistan surrender, that is the most incompetent use of the American military I've ever heard of to lose that war that we were winning to give up to the Taliban and let them take over like that. 0.97

00:28:59.000 I got to disagree with you.

00:29:00.000 I think that was an act of pure competence.

00:29:03.000 It was intentional.

00:29:04.000 You do not accidentally abandon an Air Force base in the middle of the night.

00:29:08.000 That can't be an accident.

00:29:09.000 No, it's one thing.

00:29:10.000 It was intentional, which is like plus the United States has the United States has military protocol to blow up and to literally send in fighter jets to destroy us equipment before they go into enemies hands.

00:29:20.000 They failed to do that with Isis in northern Iraq before Isis got all the Humvee vehicles and they failed to do that here in Afghanistan as well.

00:29:28.000 So when I say it was competence, it wasn't that they made a bad call.

00:29:32.000 It was the right call for exactly what they wanted to happen.

00:29:35.000 They know what they're doing.

00:29:37.000 You don't accidentally say, okay, everybody at 3 a.m.

00:29:39.000 quickly flee and let riders and looters come and take everything.

00:29:42.000 That just doesn't happen.

00:29:43.000 Yeah, I would think it wouldn't.

00:29:45.000 Nobody in their right mind would do something like that.

00:29:47.000 And not only that, they could have done the evacuations through the fortified Air Force Base.

00:29:51.000 They could have taken eight months. 0.99

00:29:52.000 They could have told the Taliban to suck it. 1.00

00:29:53.000 We're leaving when we're leaving. 1.00

00:29:55.000 It doesn't matter what day we told you.

00:29:56.000 It's war.

00:29:56.000 Deal with it.

00:29:57.000 Air support got pulled.

00:29:58.000 All of a sudden, the air superiority was gone.

00:30:01.000 Taliban started rushing in.

00:30:03.000 Afghan security forces were getting massacred.

00:30:07.000 Yeah, I view that all as intentional.

00:30:09.000 Well, and the one foreign policy question that Biden has been right about in his entire career was that the U.S.

00:30:16.000 Western-supported Afghan government was fake, that it was corrupt, it was fake, it wasn't real, and yet he premised, at least publicly, his entire withdrawal strategy on that government being able to hold long enough for everybody to get out, when his own predictions had said that there was just, without U.S.

00:30:34.000 support, that government couldn't exist.

00:30:37.000 Yeah, especially the air support.

00:30:38.000 I mean, they were heavily reliant on the logistics that the United States was providing.

00:30:42.000 And then without the logistics, they were empty.

00:30:43.000 It was like a bunch of people that didn't know who was where.

00:30:46.000 It was a Warren Zeevon government, send lawyers, guns and money.

00:30:50.000 And if you don't send those things, there is no government.

00:30:53.000 Let's jump to the story from the Daily Beast.

00:30:56.000 Ukraine joining NATO guaranteed to start World War III, Russian official says.

00:31:02.000 The war in Ukraine is guaranteed to escalate into World War III if Kiev is allowed to join NATO, according to a Russian Security Council official.

00:31:08.000 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a surprise announcement that he had made a first fast-track bid for membership.

00:31:14.000 Blah blah, we know a lot of this.

00:31:15.000 All of NATO's 30 members would have to approve Ukraine's bid, making full membership of the defense group a long way off.

00:31:22.000 Kiev is well aware that such a step would mean a guaranteed escalation to World War 3.

00:31:26.000 The suicidal nature of such a step is understood by NATO members themselves.

00:31:35.000 Maybe one NATO country is just going to say, no, we do not want to vote yes on being dragged into a nuclear war.

00:31:44.000 But the one thing I can say is that if you are between the ages of 17 and 24, because I don't think it'll happen right now, but you know, that draft age, and you support this war, well, then I'm actually looking forward to you being drafted. 0.77

00:32:00.000 You go fight the war that you supported.

00:32:02.000 All of these Gen Zers with the little Ukrainian flags in their Twitter bios? 1.00

00:32:06.000 I'm actually excited to see you guys go through basic training and then go be the cannon fodder for the wealthy elites who want to win this region of Eastern Europe.

00:32:14.000 How about that?

00:32:15.000 I would go even further.

00:32:16.000 If you're a politician calling for war, go fight it.

00:32:18.000 You're more than welcome to.

00:32:19.000 You're more than welcome to join the armed forces.

00:32:23.000 What's stopping you?

00:32:24.000 If you really want this, go and get it.

00:32:26.000 And I think that's how we should be treating these situations if we had an evolved humanity that said, you know what? 0.99

00:32:32.000 We're not fighting these stupid wars. 0.99

00:32:33.000 We're not going to die for politicians. 1.00

00:32:35.000 We're not going to die for these people that are selling arms and making a profit off of this nonsense.

00:32:42.000 We're not there.

00:32:42.000 We're at a phase where of course we have a lot of lunacy, we have a lot of insanity, and a lot of escalations to this conflict that are absolutely nonsensical.

00:32:50.000 There's no purpose to this.

00:32:51.000 There's no larger agenda here.

00:32:52.000 What's the goal here?

00:32:53.000 Why are we doing this?

00:32:54.000 Can you even explain that?

00:32:56.000 They can't.

00:32:57.000 There's no rational argument for what's happening right now.

00:32:59.000 Let me ask you guys.

00:33:01.000 Is there a circumstance where you agree with an offensive invasion?

00:33:07.000 Is there a circumstance where you think the U.S.

00:33:09.000 should declare war preemptively and then invade a country before being attacked?

00:33:13.000 I mean, that's a very open-ended question.

00:33:15.000 There could be many different scenarios.

00:33:16.000 Sure, sure, sure.

00:33:17.000 I'm asking if you can think of one.

00:33:18.000 You probably can, right?

00:33:20.000 Before being attacked?

00:33:21.000 I don't know. So the US sitting there mind its own business.

00:33:24.000 There's another country that's minding its own business, but they may be engaging in some

00:33:27.000 activities. Is there a circumstance where they don't attack you, but you think it is justified to

00:33:33.000 invade that country? Well, if you're talking about a situation where you know they are 0.97

00:33:37.000 going to attack you, that can be justified. 0.99

00:33:40.000 But what we've done in Iraq, and what we've seen, and what to some degree Russia's done in Ukraine, is theoretically something is going to happen someday that will allow them to threaten us or attack us, and we need to attack them first before that happens. 0.83

00:33:55.000 And that way lies madness.

00:33:57.000 Well, that's what Zelensky said.

00:33:59.000 He called for preemptive strikes on Russia.

00:34:01.000 He is also calling for preemptive strikes.

00:34:03.000 Yep.

00:34:04.000 Well, then he walked back.

00:34:05.000 No, I meant... Preemptive sanctions.

00:34:07.000 Yeah, sanctions.

00:34:08.000 Which there's already a bunch of sanctions.

00:34:10.000 Right.

00:34:10.000 It wouldn't do anything to deter.

00:34:11.000 In fact, it would just exacerbate the problem.

00:34:14.000 I wonder, I wonder if there ever really is.

00:34:17.000 I'm sure a lot of the more libertarian types are probably like, no, there is no matter what some other country is doing, so long as they're not attacking you, you should not invade them.

00:34:24.000 I think there are instances where a military buildup could be, you know, cause for war, like if like Germany building up the tanks that it was building up before World War Two, if France had been like, this is too risky to have that on our border, because what happened was they blitzkrieg and they took Paris, like, within two weeks, it was theirs. 0.60

00:34:41.000 And that's what if you let someone go full hog, that's why they built the liberal economic order was to prevent other countries from going full hog.

00:34:50.000 But imagine you have a neighbor, and every day you see your neighbor buying more and more guns.

00:34:55.000 And he's got a massive arsenal, you can see it through the window.

00:34:58.000 Does that justify you going over there, having him arrested, his property confiscated, or saying, this guy's clearly gonna be attacking someone, I better stop him.

00:35:07.000 I don't see it.

00:35:08.000 Now, but there is, there is an analogy.

00:35:11.000 If you saw through your neighbor's window him mercilessly beating a child, you would kick the door in, and you would get physical with this man.

00:35:19.000 Or you'd call the police.

00:35:20.000 But if it was mercilessly being a child, for the safety of that child, to stop this act, you would invade that house, right?

00:35:28.000 That's also why that's usually the argument used for invasions.

00:35:32.000 Exactly.

00:35:32.000 It's never just that, okay, they may threaten us, although those arguments are usually used too.

00:35:37.000 It's about whatever humanitarian bad things are going on in that country.

00:35:41.000 And let's face it, in most of the world, a lot of bad things are going on.

00:35:44.000 A lot of governments are bad governments doing bad things.

00:35:48.000 I'd say all of them!

00:35:49.000 Every single one of them!

00:35:53.000 It's not very much of a limiting principle for war if you're going to justify it on that basis.

00:35:58.000 But then there's the next level of the United States and other governments staging these kind of events that are not true, that have no basis in reality, just like we saw in the first Gulf War with the baby incubator story.

00:36:09.000 With literally a PR team working for the government engineering a story that the Iraqi government was taking babies from incubators and just murdering them like they were just sociopaths.

00:36:20.000 That story completely made up by a PR agency that led to the first Gulf War.

00:36:24.000 There was public hearings, there was videos, all of them fake manipulated because again they needed a justification so they made one up.

00:36:32.000 They had, like, a young girl speak to the UN about it.

00:36:34.000 Yes, and she was the daughter of an ambassador that, again, was coached and staged to lie on national television that she personally saw the babies taken out of the incubators, which was such It's insane.

00:36:48.000 It's insane.

00:36:49.000 Just visualization that it shocked people emotionally to say, yeah, we got to stop this

00:36:53.000 way.

00:36:54.000 Yeah, remember when they were, I think the Russians fired missiles into Ukraine like 0.74

00:36:58.000 five or six days ago or something like that.

00:37:00.000 I think there were missiles or bombs or whatever.

00:37:02.000 And then I...

00:37:03.000 Oh, the variety of airstrikes.

00:37:04.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:37:05.000 And then all of a sudden this video of the United States invasion of Iraq shows up from

00:37:08.000 2003, what they call shock and awe.

00:37:11.000 And the idea was we're going to hit them as hard as we can, as fast as we can, so that

00:37:14.000 they don't even have a defense prepared. 0.97

00:37:15.000 They can't, they just surrender.

00:37:17.000 And it was televised.

00:37:18.000 I remember sitting in the bar in Chicago, watching it and like getting excited because

00:37:22.000 I thought they had weapons of mass destruction.

00:37:24.000 That's what I was told.

00:37:25.000 And I was like, good, we're going to stop a tyrant from nuking the world.

00:37:28.000 And I was excited, like the way that you can, and that propaganda, man, the way that you can view bombing a city as a good thing, or bombing it as a reason for war, like the crazy emotions that are involved with that.

00:37:42.000 I think for me, I was probably lucky that I was, you know, through skateboarding, introduced to a lot of punk rock elements, anti-war elements.

00:37:50.000 So as soon as this all started, the only thing I knew was, here's why it's bad.

00:37:54.000 So there was never like, I'm not going to pretend that when I was like, you know, 14, 15, 16, I was this political genius.

00:38:00.000 No, I was just some dumb kid listening to punk rock being like, hey, war's bad.

00:38:03.000 And then I got older and I started seeing the stories. 0.70

00:38:05.000 I started learning the politics because that, that music got me interested in, more interested in politics.

00:38:11.000 And then I was just outright like, yo, this is nuts what they're doing.

00:38:15.000 And then Obama comes along and he's like, If you vote for me, we're gonna end the wars.

00:38:19.000 And I was like, okay, I dig this.

00:38:22.000 This is like my first presidency.

00:38:23.000 And all my friends are like, he's gonna do it, man.

00:38:25.000 Bush was Hitler and we're gonna get Obama. 0.90

00:38:28.000 He's changed.

00:38:29.000 He's, you know, he's gonna be the first black president.

00:38:30.000 And I was like, all right, you know, I'll vote for this guy. 0.97

00:38:32.000 And then he, right, right when he gets in office, missile strike on a Pakistani village, killing women and 0.63

00:38:36.000 children. 0.84

00:38:37.000 And I was just like, I was pissed.

00:38:39.000 I was super pissed.

00:38:40.000 I was like, my friends didn't care anymore.

00:38:42.000 They were like, oh, I don't know what's going on.

00:38:44.000 They stopped paying attention immediately because it was all a big propaganda machine.

00:38:48.000 I don't think that there was an actual anti-war movement for the most part during the Bush era.

00:38:52.000 I think it was a Democrat propaganda movement seeking to exploit the anti-war effort because they wanted to get a Democrat in office.

00:39:00.000 If you look at a lot of anti-war marches, there's a lot of recruitment for other left-wing causes that have very little to do with wars.

00:39:08.000 And it is, it's sort of a movement building exercise to a certain extent.

00:39:13.000 Yeah, man, that was that was disheartening, to say the least.

00:39:17.000 Yeah, I thought there was they made me believe that a savior was going to save me like Obama was the savior is what I felt like and I could actually take a backseat.

00:39:24.000 But that's not you know, you're the you're the driver in this.

00:39:27.000 Well, that's almost every president, especially in recent history, George W. Bush ran on a foreign policy of non interventionalism, foreign policy, humble foreign policy that doesn't get involved in other countries affairs.

00:39:39.000 That's what he promised.

00:39:40.000 And The dude just bombed a whole bunch of countries saying, screw it, I'm going to do what I want.

00:39:44.000 Give my buddy Dick Cheney, Halliburton, whatever he wants.

00:39:47.000 And they lied.

00:39:48.000 They lied through their teeth.

00:39:50.000 Most wars are based on false pretenses.

00:39:52.000 We could go all the way back from 1898 with the USS Maine.

00:39:56.000 We could go to the Rice Tag Fire.

00:39:58.000 We could go to the Gulf of Tonkin.

00:39:59.000 We could talk about these events on and on and on.

00:40:01.000 And the truth is, there's probably these events happening right now that the American public doesn't even know about.

00:40:06.000 Oh, dude, all the videos coming out out of Ukraine.

00:40:09.000 And probably, and just one last thing, probably another event that they're preparing for right now that's going to lead to a bigger war.

00:40:15.000 So I think that's a big possibility that I've been speaking about that we should be looking out for.

00:40:20.000 Every single video on Reddit.

00:40:24.000 Or Twitter.

00:40:25.000 It's always like, yeah, go Ukraine! 0.54

00:40:27.000 And then it's like some Ukrainian soldier like flicking a cigarette in an explosion.

00:40:31.000 There's another video where it's like a Russian and Ukrainian drone got into a sky fight.

00:40:35.000 Ukrainians win!

00:40:37.000 And I'm just like, dude...

00:40:39.000 It is, like, it's propaganda, and that's why I'm annoyed by it.

00:40:43.000 They intentionally want to filter out anything that could shift morale in this.

00:40:48.000 I get it.

00:40:49.000 But for me, it is the most annoying thing in the world when I'm sitting here going like, I know you are lying, okay?

00:40:56.000 This maybe works on other people, fine, leave me out of it.

00:41:00.000 I can look up and see what's actually going on.

00:41:02.000 I can make assumptions and inferences based on the information received.

00:41:06.000 But I'll tell you this, 100% of videos showing Ukraine winning, and I'm just like, spare me. 0.63

00:41:12.000 Okay, I'm tired of it.

00:41:14.000 They used video game footage to promote the ghost of Kiev. 0.98

00:41:17.000 I mean, how dumb do you think we are? 0.94

00:41:20.000 The media ran with it. 1.00

00:41:20.000 These people ran with it. 1.00

00:41:22.000 And it was never corrected.

00:41:22.000 There was never any kind of real legitimate checks on that specific story.

00:41:26.000 And again, I understand propaganda efforts during war are very, you know, clearly used against the general public because they know information is key when it comes to winning the larger conflict here. 0.99

00:41:37.000 But at least try to put on a genuine effort and not to treat people like utter idiots here. 0.84

00:41:42.000 Well, the video gamification of war has been 30 years or more in the running and a lot of people That's right. 0.98

00:41:48.000 comfortable countries where they're unlikely to have to serve in any of these wars or fight

00:41:53.000 in any of these wars, do kind of look at it like they're watching a movie or playing a

00:41:57.000 video game and you just get to see cool explosions.

00:42:01.000 That's right.

00:42:02.000 With this, this invasion that Russia just propagated there, they basically annexed Crimea, 0.53

00:42:08.000 which was old Soviet.

00:42:10.000 And then now they're trying to take the land bridge to Crimea.

00:42:13.000 That's like what the war is about.

00:42:14.000 It's not about killing people.

00:42:15.000 It's not about genocide.

00:42:18.000 Potentially lithium oxide, I think.

00:42:20.000 In Crimea or in the Donbass region.

00:42:23.000 I've seen some reports about that.

00:42:24.000 Well, there's a lot of untapped natural gas resources in those specific regions that the Russians are having under control right now, that are in contention with the Ukrainian army fighting them.

00:42:34.000 I think it's the land bridge, though, because, look, they blew up the Crimea bridge.

00:42:38.000 How is Russia supposed to get access to Crimea without that bridge?

00:42:41.000 They need another... Yeah, those two highways. 0.99

00:42:43.000 Yeah, they need the land bridge.

00:42:44.000 So, I think armistice is, like, the only way out.

00:42:47.000 Is it some sort of peace agreement negotiation?

00:42:49.000 But what would it be?

00:42:50.000 What would be an effective negotiation?

00:42:51.000 Do you cede a piece of land?

00:42:53.000 How about we just have them sit at the table? 0.96

00:42:55.000 There's people saying, you're crazy, you must be a Putin supporter, you must be a peacenik if you... 0.75

00:43:01.000 Let's just have them sit at the table and talk to each other. 0.99

00:43:03.000 At least let's get to that step.

00:43:05.000 We're not even there.

00:43:06.000 Zelensky passed the law saying, I'm not negotiating.

00:43:09.000 Even restated it.

00:43:10.000 I'm not going to be negotiating.

00:43:12.000 Why?

00:43:12.000 At least talk to each other.

00:43:14.000 That's the first step.

00:43:14.000 Because we're fighting the bill.

00:43:16.000 Yeah, he must have some like nasty video of Joe Biden doing something.

00:43:20.000 You know, I think it's funny because they kept people kept claiming that Putin had compromised on Trump.

00:43:25.000 And I'm like, yeah, but what was Trump doing for Russia?

00:43:28.000 Like he bombed Syria, like, you know, a half assed bombing. 0.77

00:43:32.000 Now you're looking at $100 billion or whatever going to Ukraine.

00:43:36.000 And that sounds like somebody's got dirt on you.

00:43:38.000 Because the US, why are we involved in this?

00:43:40.000 Well, Trump sent lethal weapons to Ukraine as well, which was a big escalation in this entire conflict.

00:43:45.000 There was also a bigger conflict that could have unfolded with Iran that luckily didn't unfold.

00:43:50.000 But again, at the end of the day here, the fact that these people aren't even willing to negotiate is something that should be very troubling.

00:43:58.000 Because if you're not negotiating, if you're not just coming to the table just to talk, Let these people figure it out.

00:44:02.000 I don't have the answers.

00:44:04.000 Elon Musk came up with a proposition.

00:44:06.000 It wasn't a perfect proposition for a peace deal, but at least the conversation was started.

00:44:10.000 And I think the more people call for peace, the more likely we could actually have it.

00:44:14.000 Because right now, all you're seeing is deranged lunatics saying war, war, war, war with absolutely no goal in sight.

00:44:21.000 And that to me is reckless. 1.00

00:44:22.000 That to me is stupid. 1.00

00:44:23.000 What's the strategic objective here? 1.00

00:44:25.000 Why hasn't anyone told us this?

00:44:27.000 Have you guys bought your burnt hair perfume to help Elon buy Twitter?

00:44:30.000 No, not yet.

00:44:31.000 I've made that joke so many times, and I think I should get a cut of this money.

00:44:34.000 About him buying Twitter?

00:44:36.000 I mean, burnt hair, I didn't know that he would have that be the same, but I think Elon Musk, your name is Musk, you have to have a cologne, you have to have a perfume.

00:44:44.000 Elon's Musk, that's what Elon said the other day.

00:44:45.000 Oh please, yeah, I need it.

00:44:46.000 Elon's Musk.

00:44:47.000 I need it in my nose.

00:44:49.000 It's not the way it sounds, Elon, I need it.

00:44:51.000 Yeah, I agree with you, Luke, we need some sort of diplomacy.

00:44:54.000 It could be a simple video chat with Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin that's public.

00:44:58.000 And yeah, it'd be so easy.

00:44:59.000 Well, the United States and NATO has to be a part of these negotiations since they're a part of this conflict.

00:45:04.000 And Vladimir Putin just made a statement a couple days ago saying that he's willing to actually be open to negotiations during the upcoming G20 meeting.

00:45:12.000 Will the West respond with other negotiations?

00:45:15.000 Will they be open to sitting down and talking to him?

00:45:17.000 Because this is beyond just Zelensky and Putin.

00:45:20.000 Zelensky should be there, obviously.

00:45:22.000 Zelensky and the Ukrainian government should be sitting down with the Russian government and at least talking to each other in some kind of capacity, in some kind of way.

00:45:30.000 And those talks should at least be between those two countries.

00:45:34.000 What do they want?

00:45:35.000 Let's figure out a way where they're both happy.

00:45:37.000 And it doesn't have to mean people are getting screwed over, people getting lied about.

00:45:40.000 It doesn't mean you're a Putin agent that you just want conversations to happen.

00:45:45.000 Yeah, there's a desire, though, to see a degradation of the Russian military, which they think is most likely to happen if this conflict continues.

00:45:52.000 But the odd thing is that he called up 300,000 troops.

00:45:55.000 So like, if you want to see a conscripts, yes, if you want to see a weaker military, it's not by forcing them to draft 300,000 people.

00:46:01.000 That's what it also looks like not be the greatest fighters, though, to have From the latest bombings that have been happening in Ukraine, it does look like the Russians are trying to take out the major air defense systems inside of Ukraine.

00:46:13.000 It looks like they're preparing for a major bombing campaign of Ukraine. 0.62

00:46:17.000 There's also a ton of Russian soldiers being shipped into Belarus, and there's a lot of rumors that Belarus will also be participating and launch another front of this war from the north of Ukraine.

00:46:26.000 So there's a lot of things happening behind the scenes that are very much escalating this situation, that are very much unfortunate for all the innocent people caught in the middle of this, because there's going to be a huge loss of life.

00:46:38.000 I think we should be doing everything in our power to try to prevent that, and sadly we have the opposite of that when it comes to the corporate media, when it comes to the leadership, when it comes to Victoria Newland and all these other sociopathic neoconservatives that just want blood.

00:46:51.000 And that's not what I want.

00:46:52.000 I want the people of Ukraine, I want the people of Russia to come together and at least talk to each other.

00:46:57.000 Let's throw it to our good friend Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. 1.00

00:47:01.000 My friends, I was saddened and shocked at this deeply offensive video of these belligerent misogynists who are yelling at poor AOC simply because she's funding war and the Azov battalion and defending the establishment.

00:47:16.000 What did she do wrong other than all of those things?

00:47:18.000 All right, here's the reality.

00:47:20.000 AOC got heckled at a virtually empty town hall in the Bronx.

00:47:23.000 Protester says she voted to start this war in Ukraine and will push the U.S.

00:47:28.000 to the brink of nuclear war.

00:47:30.000 Bravo to these activists.

00:47:32.000 Two guys calling her out saying they believed in her.

00:47:35.000 And now she's become a shill for the establishment, providing funding for war and Nazis in Ukraine. 0.62

00:47:42.000 I love it.

00:47:43.000 And so I tweeted this out in response to these activists saying that.

00:47:46.000 I pulled up a story from NBC, NBC News, saying Putin's false Nazi claims about Ukraine.

00:47:52.000 And then I pulled up another story from NBC News.

00:47:55.000 The Nazi problem in Ukraine is very real, even if Putin is lying about it.

00:48:00.000 So now they're outright just saying it, huh?

00:48:02.000 Why is AOC, the anti-fascist, the leftist, voting to give money to Nazis?

00:48:11.000 Why is she voting to fund war? 1.00

00:48:11.000 Why is this? 1.00

00:48:14.000 Now bravo for these guys speaking out and calling her out, but I think this is the start.

00:48:18.000 This is probably our best avenue in that the older generation is going to ignore and probably not care about uniparty voters, Democrats and Republicans, who support war.

00:48:29.000 But the younger generation is much more disillusioned and angry about it.

00:48:32.000 AOC just knifed them all in the back by supporting all of this.

00:48:36.000 I don't know why she is.

00:48:38.000 Because she's a shill. 1.00

00:48:39.000 She's always been a shill. 1.00

00:48:40.000 She's not alone, though.

00:48:41.000 I mean, even when you go back to previous wars under Democratic administrations, when you go back to Kosovo in the 90s, when you go back to Libya under Barack Obama, there was at least a subset.

00:48:51.000 They weren't the mainstream Democrats, but they were a subset of self-styled progressive

00:48:56.000 Democrats who would vote against funding these wars, who would join lawsuits against presidential

00:49:02.000 wars.

00:49:03.000 There really isn't anything like that going on right now.

00:49:06.000 Every single Democrat in Congress voted for the $40 billion aid package to Ukraine.

00:49:12.000 And I don't know if these activists heckling AOC mean that there is still some grassroots

00:49:20.000 anti-war left out there that is just not represented by anybody in Congress.

00:49:24.000 And if they start speaking up, maybe they will be.

00:49:27.000 Or if this is sort of the last gasp of that sentiment.

00:49:32.000 I mean, Tulsi Gabbard was it.

00:49:32.000 It's dying.

00:49:35.000 What about Bernie?

00:49:35.000 She's gone.

00:49:36.000 Did he vote to send all the money?

00:49:39.000 Bernie Sanders?

00:49:39.000 All of them, yeah.

00:49:40.000 Bernie did too, huh?

00:49:41.000 Yeah, not a single one didn't.

00:49:43.000 Barbara Lee, Ro Khanna, people who are generally very good on a lot of, who've worked across the aisle on things like Yemen, have really been nowhere to be seen on this one.

00:49:54.000 I think Cortez is, she's pretty responsive to the crowd, and this guy, this heckler, I don't even know, I'm not sure if heckler is the right word, because he wasn't insulting her, he was just screaming in panic.

00:50:05.000 That if she doesn't stop this, that we're gonna die in a nuclear war.

00:50:09.000 The terror in his voice is palpable.

00:50:11.000 Seems like he's not wrong.

00:50:12.000 She responds to emotions, so I'm not encouraging people to go scream at politicians, but I mean, they're there to represent us, and if they're not representing us, we need to make our voices heard.

00:50:23.000 Trump-Russia is a big part of this too.

00:50:25.000 The fact that the whole Trump-Russia narrative became so big on the left that Vladimir Putin is viewed by some grassroots Democrats as the man who installed the orange man in power in the United States.

00:50:40.000 So, that created a lot of anti-Russia sentiment among people who maybe even during the Cold War, when it might have been more justified, didn't have these types of sentiments.

00:50:50.000 So, I think there was more openness to hawkishness against Russia because of domestic political disputes and domestic political tribalism that might have existed otherwise, especially among some people on the center to hard left.

00:51:05.000 Yeah, a lot of the anti-war representatives got kicked out or pushed out or forced out of their parties, whether it's Kucinich or McKinney.

00:51:14.000 These were individuals that, of course, were speaking out against war and their districts were moved around, shoved around in a way where, of course, they didn't have a political career afterwards.

00:51:24.000 There is a deliberate effort to have a pro-war message, to have a message that supports the military-industrial complex, a major lobby in Washington, D.C.

00:51:32.000 So I do believe that a lot of people who had significant voices are afraid of being pushed out of politics for doing so.

00:51:39.000 I just had a thought.

00:51:41.000 We say the military-industrial complex.

00:51:43.000 Are there multiple?

00:51:44.000 I would imagine there are multiple complexes.

00:51:46.000 There's one that the liberal economic order is utilizing.

00:51:48.000 Then there must be another one that the Chinese and the Russians are utilizing. 0.88

00:51:50.000 Yeah, definitely.

00:51:51.000 That's exactly what they are.

00:51:52.000 War is a racket.

00:51:53.000 But then is there someone at the top of those organizations that are capitalizing on both of the complexes?

00:52:00.000 Is it unknown?

00:52:01.000 I don't know.

00:52:03.000 I don't think so.

00:52:04.000 I think you've got the Western military-industrial complex that loves war because it guaranteed contracts, extremely expensive, extremely lucrative.

00:52:13.000 But I don't think that there's this grand cabal that controls the military apparatus of China, Russia, and the West, and then pits them against each other.

00:52:21.000 It's not like, you know, in Sherlock Holmes, when Moriarty's got the book and he's trying to orchestrate World War I or whatever.

00:52:28.000 Because war is money.

00:52:30.000 Yeah, I think you're right.

00:52:31.000 I don't think there is somebody at the top.

00:52:32.000 I think the bankers are profiting off of it.

00:52:35.000 But even then, there's multiple... They're probably selling weapons across the board.

00:52:39.000 They're playing both sides.

00:52:41.000 I mean, look, Obama was sending weapons to the cartels.

00:52:43.000 Now there's another story emerging about something similar.

00:52:46.000 Gun manufacturers being accused of sending weapons to cartels.

00:52:48.000 These manufacturers don't care.

00:52:50.000 They're just like, give me the money and the weapons are yours.

00:52:53.000 That's it.

00:52:53.000 Yeah, and I don't think you can't sue the manufacturer if someone does something horrible with their weapon.

00:52:57.000 At least I don't think you can.

00:52:58.000 Well, they're trying now.

00:52:59.000 But we're talking about war, even.

00:53:02.000 It's like if we're at war with China, ain't nobody from China gonna sue the United States.

00:53:05.000 What are you doing?

00:53:05.000 We're at war, like actively killing each other.

00:53:09.000 So I'd like to say that we're moving away from all this stuff, but I think for a variety of reasons there are many people very invested in a nuclear apocalypse occurring.

00:53:19.000 Creepy people, evil people, callous people.

00:53:23.000 Tim, they bought their nuclear bunkers. 0.96

00:53:25.000 They want to use them, okay?

00:53:26.000 They want to make sure that their money was well invested, and they want to make sure their safe houses in New Zealand and in Chile are going to be used.

00:53:34.000 I mean, look, think about it.

00:53:35.000 If there's a publicly traded nuclear bunker company, and you have equity in that, when the nuclear war happens, that stock's going straight through the roof, baby!

00:53:43.000 That's money right there.

00:53:45.000 Now you won't be able to trade anywhere because there won't be a stock market, Wall Street, apps, electricity, or food for that matter, but everybody will want what you got.

00:53:53.000 If you bought a nuclear bunker, don't you want to use it?

00:53:56.000 I think the answer's no.

00:53:59.000 The most expensive nuclear bunker you buy is the one you buy and never use.

00:54:03.000 It's that old saying, you know?

00:54:04.000 But it's insurance.

00:54:05.000 Think of your bunker as insurance, not as a goal, not as a home retirement center.

00:54:09.000 Start putting it on wedding registries and baby gift registries.

00:54:12.000 Rent it out!

00:54:12.000 For sure!

00:54:13.000 You made a good point about the video gamization of war, man.

00:54:16.000 I think the young, there's an older generation that has their nuclear bunkers and they're like, I'm ready to go.

00:54:21.000 Let's let's find the next iteration of humanity after this is all done.

00:54:25.000 But then there's these young people that have been brainwashed to think it's a freaking video game.

00:54:29.000 That's why they do the video games.

00:54:31.000 Like America's Army, that was a specific video game that the United States government used to train kids to want to become troops.

00:54:38.000 Specifically, I'm watching videos from the Russian side, the Ukrainian side, from a lot of the battles that are taking place.

00:54:45.000 The majority of killing and maining is happening because of drones.

00:54:50.000 The Russians are using Iranian suicide drones that are just flying directly into Ukrainian troops.

00:54:55.000 The Ukrainians are using these quadcopters and they're just putting grenades inside of them and then having a button that releases them and they're literally throwing them into the Russian trenches. 0.96

00:55:05.000 And there's a whole bunch of DGI drones.

00:55:07.000 There's a video that I saw of a Ukrainian drone taking out a Russian DGI drone.

00:55:12.000 And when you look at a lot of the footage, it's straight out of Call of Duty.

00:55:15.000 It's straight out of all the video games where, of course, you get a drone and you get to pilot a missile.

00:55:18.000 You get to send grenades off.

00:55:20.000 And it's exactly like all the video games that I played as a kid.

00:55:24.000 I had a friend that worked in the military and he worked with some people that were operating drones.

00:55:27.000 I want to see what's really going on.

00:55:28.000 I want to see who's winning.

00:55:29.000 I want to see who's losing.

00:55:30.000 I really want to get a real perspective of what's happening there.

00:55:32.000 And you have to see these videos.

00:55:34.000 And there's drones, predominantly drones, having huge success in these conflicts.

00:55:38.000 I had a friend that worked in the military, and he worked with some people that were operating

00:55:42.000 drones.

00:55:43.000 He told me this story where he, the guy was like, you got to see this footage, man, the

00:55:45.000 drone operator.

00:55:46.000 So he showed him, and it was the missile or the bomb was dropping on this guy who they

00:55:50.000 thought was working on bombs.

00:55:51.000 And it comes up, and you go, it goes right up to the guy.

00:55:54.000 You see it going right, and the guy looks up. 0.99

00:55:55.000 And you see his eyes, and then you realize he's taking a crap. 0.98

00:55:59.000 And then the bomb hit, and then it goes off. 0.99

00:56:01.000 That's it.

00:56:02.000 But he's like, I saw his eyes. 0.74

00:56:05.000 That's one way to help you poop. 1.00

00:56:06.000 I'm gonna go.

00:56:07.000 Yep, it probably just went right into the toilet as soon as he saw that.

00:56:10.000 And then, of course, exited his body in every possible direction when it did hit him.

00:56:13.000 Yeah, they thought he was, like, going to get weapons and he was just out there defecating, like... Taking a big old dump. 0.96

00:56:19.000 But it's so easy when it's a video game to disassociate.

00:56:23.000 Yeah, we talked about that a while ago about Vietnam.

00:56:27.000 How when they send out these conscripts, they would fire above the Vietcong or whatever because they really didn't want to shoot them.

00:56:34.000 And so they started implementing new... That's when I think they made the targets in the shapes of people and stuff like that.

00:56:40.000 And then now video games have become a component of this.

00:56:43.000 It's interesting because there's a distinction.

00:56:47.000 Video games don't make people more violent.

00:56:49.000 We've seen all the studies on this.

00:56:50.000 Someone who plays a video game doesn't all of a sudden be like, no, I want to be violent.

00:56:54.000 But what video games do is they condition you so when it comes to being violent, it is easier for you to pull the trigger.

00:57:01.000 So people who already have those tendencies When it comes to war and conflict, you're used to playing these games.

00:57:06.000 You have a simulated experience.

00:57:08.000 It's going to have an effect on you.

00:57:09.000 Dude, have you seen Escape from Tarkov?

00:57:11.000 It's a first-person shooter.

00:57:11.000 The game?

00:57:12.000 It's hyper-realistic.

00:57:13.000 And you fight Russians, man. 0.99

00:57:15.000 You hear the Russians. 0.93

00:57:16.000 They're screaming in Russian.

00:57:17.000 It's crazy.

00:57:19.000 That's like most Call of Duties.

00:57:20.000 Is this new?

00:57:23.000 In one Call of Duty, there's a scene where you play a child as your city in Syria is literally getting gassed.

00:57:30.000 And you're playing as the child running away from the Russian gas as they send chemical weapons.

00:57:35.000 In Call of Duty?

00:57:36.000 Yeah, one of the Call of Duty modern warfare games.

00:57:39.000 So you're literally a child running away from a Russian soldier that wants to stab you as there's a chemical weapons attack.

00:57:45.000 I love how America's adversaries are always comic book villains. 0.59

00:57:49.000 You know, it's like when you watch the media, they, you know, Vladimir Putin, the evil dictator, murdered children today.

00:57:55.000 And it's like, come on, man.

00:57:57.000 They're adults who understand why war happens.

00:58:00.000 And they want you to believe that every world leader is wearing a cloak and a top hat with a mustache going, I'm going to tie a woman to the railroad tracks. 1.00

00:58:09.000 No, he's probably saying, hey, you're pushing your military alliance up upon my border, and it's jeopardizing my country's interests, and I'm not going to let that happen.

00:58:19.000 And he's probably like, yo, let me ship steel down to Crimea so I can sail it over to the United States and sell it to you.

00:58:26.000 It's so weird.

00:58:27.000 It's so like almost disbelievable that we're creating an enemy out of the Russian Federation when it could be our greatest trade ally and strongest partner, military partner on Earth.

00:58:37.000 It's on the other side of the planet.

00:58:39.000 We could together protect the planet.

00:58:41.000 Well, Ian, I've got good news for you from Newsweek.

00:58:45.000 U.S.

00:58:45.000 states that wish to join Russia will be considered, says Duma member.

00:58:50.000 Oh, well, good news.

00:58:52.000 If you're an American state and you want to vote to join Russia, They're listening.

00:58:58.000 They say a senior member of the state Duma, Russia's parliament, said that any U.S.

00:59:01.000 states that want to break away from the country and instead join the Russian Federation will be considered.

00:59:05.000 How hilarious would it be if Russia tries pulling off something in Alaska, like Crimea? 0.91

00:59:09.000 Like, oh, the Alaskans had a vote and 80% want to be Russian.

00:59:13.000 And it would vindicate Sarah Palin, because before she had seen it from her house.

00:59:17.000 That's right.

00:59:18.000 Well, that was actually Tina Fey. 1.00

00:59:20.000 Yeah.

00:59:21.000 Same person, I guess.

00:59:22.000 I love this one.

00:59:22.000 same person I guess. The comments come only a week after Russia declared the four regions

00:59:26.000 of Ukraine to become Russian territory, blah blah blah. I love this one, it's actually

00:59:30.000 really funny because we're constantly talking about civil war and peaceful divorce and I

00:59:35.000 think they actually bring this up. They say that the US...

00:59:38.000 was beginning to decay and that its ally, the European Union, which has also provided strong military assistance to Ukraine, was bursting at its seams.

00:59:45.000 Tolmachev said this was the result of failed American foreign policy.

00:59:48.000 Such initiatives are a signal that the citizens of the U.S.

00:59:50.000 are dissatisfied with their leadership and are ready to take extreme measures up to secession if the current policy of America continues.

00:59:58.000 I mean, look, there are a lot of people in the U.S.

00:59:59.000 that actually think Russia's the good guy in this.

01:00:01.000 I think that's wrong, but people believe it.

01:00:04.000 So what happens if you get enough people in a, I don't know, in the Pacific Northwest?

01:00:09.000 And they're just like, yeah.

01:00:11.000 Yeah, we don't want this.

01:00:12.000 I mean, when you look at what's going on in Portland and Seattle, with the wokeness and everything, you might actually start getting sympathizers.

01:00:19.000 Yeah, LA and New York, too.

01:00:21.000 LA.

01:00:22.000 I don't think, realistically, I don't think anyone's gonna wanna become Russian in the United States. 0.99

01:00:27.000 I mean, maybe some people might, but I don't think that any, like, organization would think that would be better.

01:00:32.000 I disagree.

01:00:32.000 Because the United States is pretty awesome.

01:00:34.000 Well, that's true, but- It would be a military risk, too.

01:00:36.000 If people did that, they'd be labeled traitors, seditionists, and executed immediately.

01:00:40.000 Oh, of course.

01:00:40.000 Well, yeah.

01:00:41.000 Like, bombed and executed. 0.95

01:00:42.000 It wouldn't make sense. 0.82

01:00:43.000 But the founding fathers also, you know, were traitors to the crown.

01:00:49.000 So, there are people who think.

01:00:52.000 The people who talk about wokeness and the cabal, there are many of these people who think, Vladimir Putin is a traditionalist, he's Christian, and he's fighting against Satanism and evil.

01:01:04.000 There are people in the U.S.

01:01:05.000 who believe that.

01:01:05.000 But the founding fathers, they just split off and formed their own country.

01:01:09.000 They didn't join, like, France or anything.

01:01:11.000 Right, no, I got it.

01:01:11.000 That probably wouldn't, might have flown, but I don't think they would have got what they wanted out of it.

01:01:15.000 There are going to be people, I mean, hey, look, man, in war you get separatists, you get partisans, and in fighting breaks out.

01:01:22.000 I think Viktor Orban would have more success, though, getting some people to join Hungary than anybody joining Russia.

01:01:27.000 That's true.

01:01:28.000 Yeah, I mean, Hungary has really attracted a lot of people, but I will also mention that there are a lot of people associated with the far right, or whatever you'd call it in the U.S., who have praised Ukraine for some time.

01:01:38.000 There's many people who have moved to Ukraine well before the conflict broke out because they support more, you know, traditional, heavily traditional policies.

01:01:46.000 So, joining Russia, I mean, not me, but man, is it a rockin' a hard place.

01:01:52.000 Russia, I'm not a fan of. 0.99

01:01:55.000 I'm a fan of the country, the history, the people, but the government is what I mean to say.

01:01:59.000 The United States?

01:02:01.000 Man, it's kind of the same thing.

01:02:02.000 I would rather, I would trust Biden and the US government only slightly more than anyone else, and it's simply because they live here.

01:02:10.000 And so at least we have some shared interests and not one that get blown up. 0.98

01:02:13.000 But man, Joe Biden is crooked.

01:02:15.000 I do not think he's doing anything for the American people. 0.98

01:02:18.000 So the question is, how do you protect what this country is supposed to be, the Constitution and its people, when you have crackpot, corrupt cronies who are running the show?

01:02:27.000 Decentralization and personal responsibility where you don't need them and you're not dependent on them or their money.

01:02:34.000 And, you know, I think individuals could take small actions.

01:02:37.000 I think it starts at a community level and it builds up from there.

01:02:40.000 And I think you just got to be the best example of an individual who doesn't need the state and is there for themselves and could be fully independent.

01:02:47.000 So peaceful divorce?

01:02:49.000 You wouldn't even have to divorce.

01:02:50.000 It's just a different style of living, living locally instead of fawning for the feds.

01:02:55.000 Just like the Amish and other communities of individuals saying, you know, hey, we want to take care of ourselves.

01:03:00.000 You guys do what you guys want.

01:03:02.000 But as long as you're not harming anyone, there shouldn't be any problems here.

01:03:06.000 The thing about that, I think it's not super appealing to a lot of people because it's not like a switch you flip and then get a solution, but it's like a long-term solution.

01:03:16.000 It could become a solution to overarching federalism.

01:03:20.000 I mean, in theory, you don't even really need a divorce for this to happen.

01:03:23.000 You just have to honor the terms of the marriage.

01:03:26.000 But we're not really honoring the terms of the marriage is sort of the problem on that front.

01:03:31.000 You know what it is?

01:03:31.000 Back in the day, The husband and the wife were sleeping in different beds.

01:03:36.000 At least on TV.

01:03:37.000 Right.

01:03:37.000 And then all of a sudden they started sharing a bed.

01:03:39.000 Well, first they slid their beds together.

01:03:40.000 Yeah.

01:03:41.000 Is that what happened on TV?

01:03:42.000 The beds were pushed together?

01:03:43.000 Yeah, that was the first... Is that the first one?

01:03:45.000 Is that the first married couple sleeping in a bed was two beds together?

01:03:48.000 Well, no, in real life they used to do that, I think.

01:03:50.000 I'm a proponent for that.

01:03:56.000 You get a lot more restful sleep when you're in a separate bed by yourself.

01:04:00.000 This is why they make mattresses that, you know, like can adjust and go up and down, have different firmness and different temperatures.

01:04:07.000 But you see, my point is, you know, the United States used to be, we all slept in separate beds and then at some point we're all sleeping in the same bed and it's not working out.

01:04:18.000 I'm dryin' out from that fan in the ceiling.

01:04:24.000 You know, look, I'm over here in West Virginia, minding my own business, and Maryland is grabbing the blanket and spitting slowly throughout the night, wrapping themselves up like a burrito.

01:04:33.000 I'm waking up, freezing, like, dude, fine.

01:04:36.000 I'll get my own blanket.

01:04:37.000 And then they're like, you're calling for a divorce.

01:04:39.000 It's like maybe I should just have my own blanket.

01:04:42.000 You should. And my parents have separate bedrooms and they love life.

01:04:44.000 I'm using it as a metaphor for, you know, if you can do it, do it, you know, get your own room.

01:04:49.000 Sleep is key to recovery and health.

01:04:52.000 So now let's translate that into the political situation in the United States.

01:04:57.000 Maybe we're supposed to actually have these states for a reason where the federal government

01:05:03.000 should not be banning like these like weapons and guns and restricting them.

01:05:09.000 If you live in West Virginia and you want a 100-round drum fully auto, that's on you.

01:05:14.000 I mention this all the time.

01:05:16.000 People drive cars all day every day, and they're not ramming me or chasing me down.

01:05:21.000 I do not fear them.

01:05:21.000 I see a guy driving a car, I don't think twice.

01:05:24.000 I saw a guy walking down the street in West Virginia with a crossbow.

01:05:27.000 I didn't go, oh, he's got a crossbow, oh no, what do I do?

01:05:29.000 I just went, howdy.

01:05:31.000 Hey.

01:05:31.000 That's it.

01:05:32.000 I don't know.

01:05:34.000 Am I supposed to be worried the guy's armed?

01:05:35.000 No.

01:05:36.000 Someone in the car could run me over.

01:05:37.000 But for some reason at the federal level, they're like, we've thereby decided that everyone in this country can no longer have this, or that.

01:05:42.000 Because we are scared.

01:05:43.000 Now, there's a reason for states, and we should probably start upholding that.

01:05:46.000 Maybe that would solve a lot of these problems.

01:05:48.000 In Maryland, you might be worried about the person driving toward you in a car.

01:05:52.000 Why is that?

01:05:53.000 Maryland drivers are kind of notorious for bad driving.

01:05:56.000 Well, I just mean, look, when I see cars, I get out of the way.

01:05:59.000 I don't just stand there and think, this car's barreling towards me.

01:06:03.000 No, you look both ways when you cross the street, but cars can kill you.

01:06:07.000 Someone in a car can choose to use it as a lethal weapon, and they don't do it.

01:06:12.000 And there have been cases where it's happened, but it's not a daily occurrence.

01:06:16.000 Right.

01:06:16.000 And there's occasions where people take guns and do bad things with them.

01:06:19.000 But I just look at it like the average person wielding a lethal force does not use it.

01:06:26.000 That's it.

01:06:26.000 So I'm not worried about people having guns.

01:06:29.000 But anyway, the main reason I bring that up is just that the problem we're facing in this country is that if there is going to be a national divorce, it's going to be because no one will let states be.

01:06:38.000 Or I should say it's because the Democrat big cities will not let everyone else just be.

01:06:42.000 That's usually the reason.

01:06:44.000 I think historically, if someone secedes, it's because they're getting smacked down by the person that's trying to control them.

01:06:49.000 Right.

01:06:50.000 And if they just backed off, then we'd, we'd, we'd let it go.

01:06:53.000 We'd be like, yeah, you know, it's, it's kind of bad, but we're okay.

01:06:56.000 But now it's just too bad.

01:06:57.000 There are some things like pollution regulations that I understand the federal government's got to get annoying about.

01:07:03.000 Cause like, you don't, if you're burning a lot or dumping stuff in the water and it goes into another state, then, you know, then someone else, an arbiter needs to come in and kind of smooth things over.

01:07:14.000 Or, you know, take control even sometimes, which is a little... Or force you to control yourself from a different perspective.

01:07:21.000 That's what the government does, Ian.

01:07:22.000 That's what they do with Monsanto.

01:07:23.000 That's what they do with all these other multinational corporations.

01:07:26.000 They just give them permission slips to poison and to release their pollutants everywhere else.

01:07:31.000 That's essentially what government's doing, Ian.

01:07:36.000 Since when?

01:07:37.000 Since the central banks in 1830?

01:07:38.000 Like since the early adoption?

01:07:40.000 I don't know when you want to go back, but when you look at what the government's doing, they're essentially one of the biggest and largest polluters on the world and the biggest enablers of pollution on the world.

01:07:48.000 And a lot of their policies are absolutely nonsensical and leading to the destruction of our planet when it comes to destroying the national resources and just sending it off to China to let them uh, pollute even more because we can't, you know, handle 0.97

01:08:03.000 our own trash here. It's absolutely ridiculous. 0.98

01:08:04.000 What if we removed the human element from politics and had a computer do it all? Right? 0.62

01:08:11.000 Coming soon.

01:08:12.000 Coming soon, that's right.

01:08:13.000 Maybe have a computer do some of it.

01:08:14.000 Some advice, maybe.

01:08:15.000 I mean, it's probably already happening and it's probably going to be miserable.

01:08:19.000 The robot's going to be like, humans like corn, make more corn.

01:08:21.000 And then you're going to be like, okay, I guess we're making corn.

01:08:24.000 And then just the humans do like corn, man.

01:08:25.000 And they're going to make a whole lot of it.

01:08:27.000 Bill Gates likes corn, apparently.

01:08:28.000 Yeah.

01:08:28.000 And soy.

01:08:29.000 He really loves soy.

01:08:30.000 Is he really?

01:08:31.000 As you can see from his, you know.

01:08:32.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:08:33.000 His moobs. 0.95

01:08:36.000 His moobs. 0.95

01:08:37.000 Technical term.

01:08:38.000 Yeah, I don't think humans are going to create an AI that is like humans are going to create an AI they think is good enough to run the show, but it's not going to be good enough to run the show.

01:08:47.000 And then it's going to make a mess of everything.

01:08:48.000 Yeah, humans got to govern themselves.

01:08:50.000 But having machines advise us like intelligent machines can always give advice because they can do calculations really quick and be like, well, if you if you put the factory there, you will create this amount of pollution in these places with this amount of wind current.

01:09:03.000 But if the wind current's different, give you all these different contingent possibilities.

01:09:08.000 Let's jump to this story from the Daily Mail.

01:09:10.000 Oregonians force vote to secede from the woke state and become part of Idaho.

01:09:15.000 Two counties are set to vote on the measure after nine backed it due to defund the police, critical race theory in schools, and bail laws.

01:09:22.000 Before we get to the point where states secede from the union, before we get to the point where anyone is trying to engage in a civil war, the first that's happening is, in Oregon, they're not trying to leave the union, they're trying to move a portion of the state into a different state.

01:09:37.000 I don't know if they have a picture of the whole- There you go, look at this.

01:09:40.000 Greater Idaho.

01:09:41.000 Hey, I'm all for it, man!

01:09:43.000 I think it's exactly what needs to happen.

01:09:44.000 Hell yeah.

01:09:45.000 So, uh, Portland can- They can- They can have their weird urban center.

01:09:49.000 In fact, this is what should happen across the board.

01:09:51.000 Every major city, you can just be your own- Every major city becomes its own, uh- City-state?

01:09:56.000 State.

01:09:56.000 Yeah.

01:09:56.000 Back to city-states.

01:09:57.000 And then what happens is the Democrats end up with, like, 12 senators, and Republicans end up with, you know, 60.

01:10:03.000 Right, and so that's sort of the thing, is you have so many states where there are these large urban centers that control everything and have the biggest population that are left-wing, and then all of the rest of the state, which encompasses a much bigger landmass, but has fewer people, rural, much more conservative, and they get outvoted in a lot of cases.

01:10:23.000 I mean, even a state like Maryland, which is pretty democratic, You don't have Baltimore.

01:10:28.000 You don't have Prince George's County, Montgomery County, where all the government employees live.

01:10:32.000 It's MAGA country. 0.68

01:10:33.000 It's MAGA country. 0.68

01:10:34.000 Yeah, right now we're in Maryland and it's MAGA country.

01:10:36.000 New York.

01:10:37.000 These three counties issued a letter saying they wanted to secede and join West Virginia.

01:10:43.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:10:45.000 The problem is, this stuff isn't happening, and it needs to happen.

01:10:48.000 The shift, the votes should be very easy.

01:10:51.000 It prevents destabilization, it prevents civil war.

01:10:55.000 If Greater Idaho happened, there would be, people would feel satiated, they'd feel satisfied, they'd feel like their voices were heard, and this makes sense for them, and they wouldn't be part of a state that was abusive towards them.

01:11:06.000 Instead, what's happening is, Greater Idaho, you have these nine counties, and they're saying like, hey, we shouldn't be here, and they're like, shut your mouths.

01:11:13.000 Well, what do you think that leads to?

01:11:14.000 Secession, usually.

01:11:16.000 Yeah, eventually they're going to be like, then we're out.

01:11:18.000 Or just grumbling.

01:11:18.000 Or conflict.

01:11:19.000 Grumbling acceptance.

01:11:20.000 But, I mean, what would this do?

01:11:22.000 If this did happen, it would cut back on the amount of votes that Oregon would... No. 0.70

01:11:28.000 Well, yeah, Oregon would lose votes.

01:11:29.000 Idaho would gain votes in Congress.

01:11:31.000 But senators would stay the same.

01:11:33.000 So they're not even trying to make their own state.

01:11:34.000 They're trying to just become part of a different one.

01:11:37.000 There's a similar thing happening in northern Colorado, northern California, the state of Jefferson.

01:11:42.000 Northern California.

01:11:44.000 And that should happen.

01:11:45.000 I think so.

01:11:46.000 New states.

01:11:47.000 Hey, you know, we don't need 50 states forever.

01:11:49.000 I know it's a nice round number, but let's just split up, make them smaller.

01:11:52.000 I think that might be kind of neat.

01:11:54.000 There will always be a certain number of people though who will, they live in Portland and they'll see this new expanded Idaho.

01:12:01.000 And they'll say, oh that looks really nice, I want to live there.

01:12:03.000 And then they go live there and they say, oh I actually want to vote though for all the policies I had in Portland.

01:12:08.000 And they don't make any association between the policies and why Portland was bad and Idaho is good.

01:12:13.000 Look, there's a video from Ami Horowitz and PragerU.

01:12:17.000 And he walks up to people and he's asking them to, I think, sign a petition to allow a five-year-old to undergo a sex change operation.

01:12:25.000 And in one of the conversations, this woman goes, I completely agree with this.

01:12:29.000 And then he's like, yeah, you know, five-year-old kids can make their own decisions.

01:12:32.000 They know what's right for their body.

01:12:33.000 He goes, I agree.

01:12:34.000 Thank you so much for doing this.

01:12:36.000 And it's like, conservatives think this is a gotcha, like they're exposing it.

01:12:40.000 These people genuinely believe this stuff.

01:12:43.000 You're not, like, waking them up to make them realize they're wrong.

01:12:46.000 They're saying, like, no, I agree.

01:12:47.000 I believe this.

01:12:47.000 And you're like, aha!

01:12:48.000 I've exposed you!

01:12:49.000 And they're like, no, I talk about this all the time.

01:12:51.000 We have child drag shows.

01:12:52.000 We do this all the time.

01:12:54.000 What happens is, conservatives can't believe that the average person would support this.

01:13:01.000 And then when they talk to these people and hear them saying they support it, they're like,

01:13:03.000 look, look, look, everybody, this person supports it.

01:13:06.000 And then all of the body snatcher people turn slowly and look at you and go,

01:13:10.000 because they all agree with it.

01:13:13.000 They're all on board with it.

01:13:14.000 There is an ideological fracture in this country.

01:13:17.000 It ain't being mended.

01:13:18.000 So maybe, maybe greater Idaho needs to happen.

01:13:21.000 Yeah, I think it does.

01:13:23.000 I think Western Maryland needs to break off and become part of West Virginia.

01:13:28.000 It definitely makes more sense, but I think a lot of bureaucrats want their tax cattle to stay, because they want to treat them like cattle, and they want to, of course, siphon off all the money and wealth that they can from them to finance their insanity.

01:13:40.000 Because if the people leave, who's going to finance a lot of this insanity?

01:13:43.000 As, of course, a lot of the people in the rural areas usually are independent, usually are people working for themselves, usually are people who are successful.

01:13:51.000 And, yeah, they want that money.

01:13:54.000 So I don't see this happening.

01:13:55.000 Yeah, Oregon's not going to let you, tax cattle, you call them?

01:13:58.000 Yeah. 0.94

01:13:58.000 Slaves. 0.94

01:13:59.000 Yeah, pretty much. 0.77

01:14:01.000 You get nothing.

01:14:02.000 You can't do anything about it.

01:14:03.000 And we get money from you.

01:14:04.000 Why would you, why would we let you leave?

01:14:05.000 What do we gain from it?

01:14:06.000 Yeah.

01:14:07.000 And we get to impose any kind of policies we want on you.

01:14:10.000 So what's the incentive of Portland letting them go?

01:14:14.000 Is there?

01:14:15.000 Is there any incentive?

01:14:17.000 Portland would get their voting ideology more prominent in state legislature.

01:14:22.000 I just want everybody in Eastern Idaho to realize your life is being dictated to by

01:14:32.000 a bunch of 20-year-old lunatics who've not had jobs running around Portland smashing 0.97

01:14:38.000 things and starting fires. 0.98

01:14:40.000 So when you're, say, working on a farm, working hard every day to provide for your

01:14:44.000 family to produce food and crops that human beings need, your life is controlled by a 0.84

01:14:50.000 crackpot 20-year-old white leftist who weighs 110 pounds soaking wet running around going, 1.00

01:14:56.000 America is racist! 0.99

01:14:58.000 And then screaming racial slurs at black cops because they're apparently the virtuous ones. 1.00

01:15:02.000 And then setting fires in firebombing buildings, and law enforcement won't arrest them. 0.96

01:15:06.000 And then they go and vote, and the politicians pander to them, and they are in charge of you.

01:15:11.000 Congratulations.

01:15:13.000 So, I don't blame them for wanting to vote to leave.

01:15:15.000 The problem is, the system doesn't allow it.

01:15:17.000 Like, it's become too rigid.

01:15:18.000 It's like you were saying earlier.

01:15:19.000 When it comes to the Constitution, all of these things like the age you have to be, we're very serious about this.

01:15:24.000 But the actual enumerated powers, it's...

01:15:27.000 What do we do?

01:15:28.000 Do we just sit back and wait until the whole thing explodes?

01:15:31.000 We're not supposed to.

01:15:32.000 We're supposed to change it as we go.

01:15:34.000 That's very intentional.

01:15:35.000 Convention of states, new amendment, a path towards shifting borders of states very easily.

01:15:42.000 It should be extremely easy for this to happen, not ridiculously hard.

01:15:46.000 Granted, I don't understand why Oregon as a state should have a voting right over a county that votes to leave.

01:15:54.000 Why would that be?

01:15:58.000 Well, because of the disruption to taxes, yeah, it would be... Too bad!

01:16:01.000 Like, imagine if, you know, you have a roommate, and then I say, well, look, it's my house, and I've determined you're not allowed to leave, you gotta keep paying rent.

01:16:10.000 You'd be like, not later, you walk out the door.

01:16:12.000 Rent's gone.

01:16:14.000 Imagine if the police said, well, hold on, the guy who owns the house has said you're not allowed to do that, so we're under arrest and we're bringing you back.

01:16:20.000 That's insane, it makes no sense.

01:16:21.000 It would be more like if I'm like, no, this room that I'm renting from you is my house now.

01:16:25.000 Or I'd be like, no, this room I'm renting in your house belongs to your neighbor.

01:16:29.000 You'd be like, no, it's my room.

01:16:31.000 Well, I suppose it's a little different because we're talking about a space that's very far away and not occupied by a person.

01:16:36.000 So how about a garage?

01:16:38.000 Let's say that, uh, you own the garage, and, uh, it's... I don't know how that would actually work, because if people own the land they're on, you know what I mean?

01:16:48.000 It can be like... Oh, that's a good point.

01:16:49.000 Yeah.

01:16:49.000 The landowners should be able to decide what state they're a part of.

01:16:52.000 Right, they should, and then they all vote as their county, and if the county votes, why should Oregon, why should Portland be able to be like, nah, you can't leave.

01:17:01.000 And what would their mechanism really be at that point?

01:17:04.000 Now obviously we can think of some pretty horrible things that would be their mechanism, but I don't think that would be the first thing out of the gate that would happen.

01:17:11.000 So there'd be lawsuits.

01:17:12.000 But they have no police!

01:17:13.000 They can't enforce any laws in Portland! 0.62

01:17:15.000 If Eastern Idaho, if they vote for this and then decide it is, it is.

01:17:21.000 Period.

01:17:22.000 Portland can then, the Oregon government can be like, we do not recognize the secession of Eastern Oregon, and they can be like, what are you gonna do about it?

01:17:29.000 What are you gonna do?

01:17:30.000 You're gonna go to every single county and every single family and then occupy their neighborhoods at gunpoint?

01:17:35.000 Never gonna happen.

01:17:37.000 If the confidence of the people of Greater Idaho, of the people of Eastern Oregon, is that we do not recognize the state of Oregon anymore, there is literally nothing anyone can do to stop them.

01:17:47.000 It would be like a civil disobedient act.

01:17:49.000 They would say we're not paying taxes to the state of Oregon.

01:17:52.000 Oregon anymore, we're paying them to the state of Idaho.

01:17:54.000 And then Oregon would be like, no, pay us your taxes. 0.89

01:17:56.000 And they're like, well, we're Idaho now.

01:17:58.000 And then the Idaho would send out the National Guard.

01:18:00.000 If it escalated, the Idaho would put the National Guard in the new territory.

01:18:04.000 If Idaho accepted it.

01:18:05.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:18:06.000 And then say, this is our state.

01:18:07.000 But what I'm saying is, let's say Idaho says, look, we don't want to get involved in this.

01:18:11.000 Oregon as a state then says, these regions aren't allowed to secede.

01:18:14.000 But you can look on the map where you can see all of the areas that have voted in favor of joining Idaho.

01:18:20.000 I mean, it's there!

01:18:22.000 It's like almost the entirety of Eastern Oregon.

01:18:24.000 If they all, if all the people there simply said, my government is, you know, this person.

01:18:32.000 If these people, these counties all have their county commissioners or whatever, and they say, The laws that I follow come from the County Commissioner, not from a state we don't recognize.

01:18:41.000 Oregon can do nothing.

01:18:42.000 The feds can do nothing.

01:18:43.000 The feds cannot go.

01:18:45.000 People need to understand this.

01:18:46.000 There are not enough federal agents to actually go into an entire state And enforce the law.

01:18:53.000 They would have to occupy every city corner.

01:18:56.000 They would have to go door to door.

01:18:57.000 They would have to arrest everyone.

01:18:58.000 It will never happen.

01:19:00.000 That's only if the majority of these people stop abiding by state government and decide they're their own state.

01:19:07.000 The feds have no choice but to recognize it.

01:19:09.000 Otherwise, there's just nothing that you can't do anything about it.

01:19:12.000 That's just it.

01:19:15.000 You were saying something before and they cut you off.

01:19:17.000 I'm sorry about that.

01:19:18.000 I would just tend to think that in Oregon or any place like that, the tax enforcement authorities would be the last police that would be defunded.

01:19:27.000 Those would be fully funded.

01:19:28.000 So civil disobedience acts by not paying taxes, I think they do have a response to.

01:19:36.000 But what I mean is if every single person there just stopped abiding, they couldn't do anything about it.

01:19:41.000 I mean, by all means, go ahead and arrest every single citizen of this county.

01:19:46.000 It's just not gonna happen.

01:19:47.000 Yeah, it's a form of implosion.

01:19:49.000 It would just destroy the purpose.

01:19:50.000 Well, there's not enough law enforcement officers.

01:19:52.000 Look, in New York City, I think there's, what, like 40,000 cops?

01:19:55.000 Is that the number, Luke?

01:19:56.000 I think 30,000.

01:19:56.000 It's pretty big.

01:19:58.000 Tens of thousands.

01:19:59.000 Out of a city with, what, 9 million in city borders?

01:20:04.000 9 million people?

01:20:05.000 If 9 million people in New York just stopped paying their taxes, what are the cops gonna do about it?

01:20:10.000 So it's not something I'm advocating for.

01:20:12.000 I'm saying if that were to occur, the government can't do anything.

01:20:15.000 If the government exists through the confidence of the people, if the people believe the government has the authority or is justified, then they follow along.

01:20:23.000 But if these people are voting to say we're no longer part of Oregon, we're getting to that point where they're going to say, Oregon, you do not represent us.

01:20:30.000 Like imagine if California tried passing this bill, I don't know if they did, where they can tax someone 10 years after they leave the state.

01:20:37.000 Did you guys hear about this one?

01:20:39.000 Imagine you're living in Texas and California knocks on your door and says, you owe us taxes.

01:20:42.000 You'd be like, get out, I don't live in California!

01:20:44.000 Go away! 1.00

01:20:46.000 What gives you the right?

01:20:47.000 That's how people here are gonna feel.

01:20:50.000 So.

01:20:50.000 New York City has 36,000 police officers and 19,000 civilian employees.

01:20:56.000 Right.

01:20:57.000 36,000 officers.

01:20:58.000 Think about how small that number is.

01:21:01.000 Oh, it sounds big, 36,000.

01:21:02.000 How many people are in the New York Metro?

01:21:05.000 You want to look it up?

01:21:06.000 Is it 12 million?

01:21:07.000 I think it's like 9.5 or something.

01:21:09.000 I thought it was 18.

01:21:09.000 Is it nine?

01:21:10.000 Well, in the Metro, you've got other police outside of that.

01:21:14.000 So let's just say city proper.

01:21:16.000 In the city proper jurisdiction, what's the population?

01:21:19.000 20 million.

01:21:20.000 In the city?

01:21:20.000 Yeah.

01:21:21.000 No.

01:21:21.000 New York metropolitan area population.

01:21:23.000 The metro includes like Jersey City and things like that.

01:21:26.000 Yeah, things outside of New York City.

01:21:27.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:21:28.000 So city population proper I think is like nine or something.

01:21:33.000 I can pull it up.

01:21:34.000 Let's get it, let's get it.

01:21:36.000 NYC, let's look up the official city pocket.

01:21:39.000 8.4 million.

01:21:39.000 As of 2013, it was 8.4.

01:21:40.000 8.8, as of 2020.

01:21:40.000 I got it here from Wikipedia.

01:21:41.000 April 1st, 2020.

01:21:41.000 8.8 million.

01:21:42.000 Wow, that went down.

01:21:42.000 Yeah, man, crazy.

01:21:42.000 I'm pretty sure it was higher than that before, but whatever.

01:21:45.000 Yeah, it's in decline.

01:21:45.000 here from Wikipedia. April 1st. 8.8 million. That's wow.

01:21:49.000 That went down. Yeah, man. Crazy.

01:21:52.000 I'm pretty sure it was higher than that before, but whatever. Yeah, it's in decline. So 8.8

01:21:57.000 million people. If let's say 1% of the population of New York, just let's say they got infected.

01:22:06.000 They got zombie virus.

01:22:08.000 They're running around.

01:22:11.000 88,000 people.

01:22:12.000 There's not nearly enough police officers to deal with that.

01:22:16.000 If 1%.

01:22:17.000 Now let's go back in time.

01:22:19.000 And let's go back to a time when New York had 100 people living in it.

01:22:22.000 If 1% went nuts, no problem.

01:22:25.000 One guy?

01:22:26.000 One guy running around, they'd just tie him up.

01:22:30.000 Then you get to the point where there's a million and 1%, now you've got thousands.

01:22:34.000 And that's getting much more difficult to deal with.

01:22:37.000 With 8.8 million people, 1% of the population outright just going out and saying, you know, hey, we're gonna riot.

01:22:44.000 The police can do literally nothing.

01:22:46.000 And that's why in 2020, the police could do literally nothing.

01:22:49.000 Too many people are ready to overwhelm the police force.

01:22:52.000 Doesn't work.

01:22:53.000 So what do you do?

01:22:53.000 I'm open to new ideas.

01:22:55.000 You know, the United States is an experiment.

01:22:57.000 It's one of the most experimental governments maybe to ever have been tried.

01:23:01.000 Well, I don't know if that's I can't claim that, but it's it's government is experimental.

01:23:05.000 And to think that we could split up states and move them around and move around counties, that's fascinating.

01:23:09.000 And it could be fantastic for for communication and for the peaceful settlement.

01:23:15.000 Let's talk about the New York metro.

01:23:18.000 20 million.

01:23:19.000 The New York metro is 20 million.

01:23:21.000 So this includes just north of, what does it go to, like Westchester and like Jersey City and Union City and Long Island a little bit.

01:23:28.000 Dirty Jersey, I think.

01:23:29.000 Dirty Jersey and all that stuff.

01:23:30.000 Bayonne or whatever.

01:23:31.000 20 million people.

01:23:35.000 If 1%, wow, if 1% of that Are we looking at, is that?

01:23:42.000 That's 200,000 people.

01:23:44.000 If 1% of the New York metro went into Manhattan in a rage, 200,000 people running through the streets, smashing and riding, the police would be on the first boat, helicopter, or car out of the city and say, I ain't dealing with this.

01:23:57.000 It's impossible.

01:23:57.000 You saw what happened?

01:23:58.000 Did you see what happened during the Black Lives Matter protests?

01:24:00.000 A lot of them were like, we're just not going to do anything.

01:24:03.000 We're just going to sit back and stand back.

01:24:05.000 That's what I've talked about.

01:24:08.000 The more massive the population, you need a massive number of law enforcement to deal with it.

01:24:13.000 Imagine if 1% of New York citizens were just like, we are no longer complying with government.

01:24:19.000 The police would be unable to do anything about it.

01:24:21.000 And that's literally what's happening, mind you.

01:24:23.000 The reason crime is skyrocketing.

01:24:25.000 Did you guys see this Brawlmart video they're calling it?

01:24:28.000 Yes.

01:24:29.000 People in Walmart, they're just fighting like crazy.

01:24:32.000 The reason why people tended not to fight is like, I don't wanna get arrested.

01:24:34.000 Like, you know, I get it.

01:24:36.000 Now, no one is getting arrested.

01:24:38.000 They know they're not getting arrested, so they're like, what do I care?

01:24:41.000 Now you've got a dude buck naked running around the subways of New York.

01:24:44.000 New York City subway killings are 25 year high.

01:24:49.000 People being pushed onto the tracks, young women being murdered, because they know they're not getting arrested. 0.67

01:24:54.000 The police cannot deal with it.

01:24:56.000 So it's a cascade effect.

01:24:58.000 When 36,000 cops can deal with the crime and people believe the police can deal with the crime, crime is lower because people are worried.

01:25:08.000 Criminals are like, you gotta be careful, the cops will get ya.

01:25:11.000 Now that confidence is being shattered, it's gonna create a snowball rolling down a hill effect where more and more criminals are like, cops aren't gonna do anything.

01:25:18.000 Yeah.

01:25:19.000 This is why, according to some estimates, ridership in the New York City subway system is down significantly because a lot of people are afraid to go on the New York City subway system.

01:25:27.000 It's also one of the main reasons why people are fleeing New York City and escaping a lot of these failed policies that were implemented and, of course, bought for by George Soros that, of course, planted a whole bunch of district attorneys and woke individuals into governments that, of course, are pushing policies that are absolutely nonsensical.

01:25:44.000 Obviously, there's a legitimate conversation to have about criminal justice reform, yes, but when you have that same criminal justice reform being turned to punish people for political thoughts and ideas, when you have the the Manhattan district attorney focusing on Donald Trump as violence is engulfing that entire city, there should be someone saying, hey, you should get your priorities straight.

01:26:04.000 Hey, we shouldn't be letting criminals off into the streets that are extremely violent, that are going to be hurting people.

01:26:10.000 Maybe we should stop focusing on punishing people for their political ideas and maybe we should actually start serving and protecting the population of the country.

01:26:18.000 This is really cool.

01:26:18.000 Check this out.

01:26:19.000 This is a map of the New York metropolitan area.

01:26:22.000 So you can see that you've got, you know, like New York down here, but it goes up to Putnam.

01:26:26.000 It goes up to Pike County, Sussex, Moore.

01:26:28.000 So it's massive.

01:26:29.000 All of Long Island is basically included in it.

01:26:32.000 This is... It's massive.

01:26:35.000 Just put it simply.

01:26:36.000 And I don't know... We know there's 36,000 police in New York City proper for 8 million people.

01:26:41.000 I wonder what the total police population of the entire New York metro would be.

01:26:45.000 I would imagine it's not relative.

01:26:48.000 It doesn't scale.

01:26:49.000 The amount of police you need in, like, Somerset is substantially less per person, per capita, than you would need in a very dense New York City.

01:26:58.000 So, my view is gonna be it's 50,000 for the entire metro, maybe.

01:27:02.000 Yeah, but at least we're gonna have 87,000 IRS agents, according to the Inflation Reduction Act.

01:27:08.000 That was, of course, promptly promoted by Bill Gates, who's openly bragging how he was the one that came forward with this bill.

01:27:14.000 So, who cares about real law enforcement?

01:27:16.000 You could have IRS agents walking around armed with guns.

01:27:19.000 They just gotta do the robot drones. 0.99

01:27:20.000 Stealing your money.

01:27:21.000 The dog drones, you know what I mean? 0.99

01:27:24.000 So, when you act a fool, the drone flies to your house and then it dispatches the little dog guy with the gun on his back and it... 0.99

01:27:31.000 Citizen, you have violated the law. 1.00

01:27:34.000 And then you're like, ah, crap. 1.00

01:27:36.000 Ever punched a dog? 0.99

01:27:38.000 Um, no.

01:27:40.000 I think that you're right.

01:27:41.000 A metal one that it's, it doesn't scale like it, plus the streets are too small.

01:27:46.000 So like, even if you had 10 times the cops, they couldn't even fit to stop the crowd.

01:27:50.000 So this is why they're going into anti-terrorism laws.

01:27:52.000 They want strategic defense against this kind of stuff.

01:27:54.000 They look for like ringleaders.

01:27:56.000 They want to take it out at the source so that big crowds don't proliferate and drones.

01:28:00.000 I'm very concerned about the use of mechanical drones in police defense, like they're doing in China.

01:28:05.000 They literally quadcoptered in a Boston Dynamic.

01:28:08.000 It wasn't a Boston Dynamic robot, but it was a similar model.

01:28:10.000 Like the dog robot?

01:28:11.000 Yeah, with a gun on its back.

01:28:13.000 And the drone drops it?

01:28:14.000 Yeah, like, that's one way.

01:28:16.000 Really small drone police force.

01:28:19.000 It's terrifying though, because it could be co-opted and hacked and stuff.

01:28:22.000 Terminator scenario could very well happen.

01:28:24.000 And I know, like, in the movie, it's this fanciful AI that, like, I guess Skynet declares war on humanity or whatever, robots fight humans.

01:28:31.000 It could be something as simple as we program robots for law enforcement, we give them specific parameters, but humans are imperfect and the programming is imperfect, and then all of a sudden all of the robo-dogs think they're enforcing the law perfectly and they're just targeting anyone.

01:28:47.000 It could be as simple as this, right?

01:28:48.000 I'll give you an example.

01:28:49.000 I talk about this, the Doctor Who episode where they go to this planet.

01:28:53.000 Everyone's dead.

01:28:54.000 And there are robots that have these screams and smiley faces.

01:28:57.000 And what they discover is that the robots were programmed to keep people happy.

01:29:01.000 When an old woman died, a member of the colony, everybody got sad.

01:29:06.000 The robots tried as hard as they could to make people happy, but it wasn't working.

01:29:10.000 Then they found that if a sad person came into contact with a happy person, the happy person became sad.

01:29:15.000 Why?

01:29:16.000 Sad person told them old person died. 0.95

01:29:18.000 The robots then started to view sadness as a contagion and decided for the sake of happiness, it had to kill anyone who was spreading negativity like a virus. 0.52

01:29:27.000 Of course, that made everybody freak out and very, very unhappy to the point where they just killed everyone.

01:29:32.000 That's a good example of what happens.

01:29:35.000 We'll make these robots and be like, assist law enforcement.

01:29:38.000 The robot drone will be like detainment protocol.

01:29:41.000 Suspicious activity.

01:29:43.000 It'll approach a person and they'll be like, yo, get that dog away from me. 0.96

01:29:46.000 Then it'll be like suspect is fleeing.

01:29:48.000 Suspect is fleeing.

01:29:49.000 Deploy countermeasures. 0.81

01:29:50.000 This causes the person to get tased, trip, fall, hit his head and die.

01:29:54.000 A bunch of people in the area then go, That thing just killed that person for no reason!

01:29:58.000 They all start screaming.

01:29:59.000 And now the robot goes, assisting a criminal, assisting criminal.

01:30:04.000 All of these people are now targets.

01:30:05.000 And then all of a sudden the robodogs are attacking every random person, and the AI runs amok.

01:30:09.000 We think we're beyond that, but these things can happen because humans who program these machines are fallible.

01:30:15.000 And of course the programming will be as well.

01:30:17.000 And then before you know it, you'll have that other Black Mirror episode where the robodogs are going around hunting people.

01:30:22.000 And what was it, like, Amazon was delivering things that they didn't want to them?

01:30:25.000 The AI was just giving them things?

01:30:28.000 Man, that was a crazy episode.

01:30:29.000 I don't remember that part of it.

01:30:30.000 There were robodogs, like, patrolling.

01:30:32.000 And then there was a factory that just mass-produced goods for humans.

01:30:36.000 And there was, like, a resistance.

01:30:38.000 And then it turns out that the humans were already extinct, and that the people you thought were humans were actually robots created by the AI, because the AI needed humans to fulfill its purpose of delivering goods.

01:30:50.000 Oh, God.

01:30:50.000 It's so crazy.

01:30:51.000 Yeah, the robots will be networked.

01:30:54.000 And I think it's important to not start calling them dogs.

01:30:57.000 Always remember these things are robots.

01:30:59.000 They're not animals.

01:31:01.000 And so keep that in mind.

01:31:02.000 Don't get tricked into speaking their language.

01:31:05.000 And they're going on networks, and networks can be hacked, and viruses can cause things to malfunction.

01:31:09.000 But, you know, look, Ian.

01:31:11.000 Like, you gotta admit, everybody's got, like, part of you knows how exciting it would be to, like, live in a post-apocalyptic world where you have, like, a baseball bat on your back, and you're foraging for food, and then the robot comes, and then you get into this epic video game-like battle fighting with the robot.

01:31:27.000 At least that's what people probably assume until they actually get into a life or death situation.

01:31:31.000 Adrenaline kicks in and they're begging for safety and a savior to come.

01:31:35.000 You know, it's funny when people think... There's an old joke my friend posted a long time ago.

01:31:41.000 He said, I want and encourage a zombie apocalypse.

01:31:44.000 And it's like people actually have fantasies about being in this scenario.

01:31:47.000 And then it's just like, man, anyone who's ever been in a real life or death situation is going to tell you that you really, really don't want anything like that.

01:31:55.000 You don't want that joke.

01:31:55.000 No way.

01:31:56.000 Nope.

01:31:57.000 Have you been close to stuff like that, Serge?

01:31:59.000 A few times in my life, yeah, unfortunately.

01:32:02.000 Just being in South Africa, that's kind of the nature of it.

01:32:04.000 And also living in L.A.

01:32:05.000 for the last three years just kind of puts you up against it, whether you like it or not.

01:32:08.000 What did you notice in L.A.?

01:32:10.000 The change in the city in the last three years?

01:32:13.000 I'd say, for everyone living in LA right now, I can definitely say that after the pandemic, after 2020, things definitely got a lot worse.

01:32:18.000 You kind of have to remember LA before, you know, the pandemic started, or I guess you should say the lockdown started.

01:32:23.000 The before times.

01:32:24.000 Yeah, the before times.

01:32:25.000 I've literally said that before, but it kind of just hit the fan more so than it already was hitting the fan.

01:32:30.000 And it seems like, to me, it's almost unrecoverable at this point.

01:32:33.000 I don't want to say that it is, but it definitely seems that way.

01:32:36.000 I agree.

01:32:36.000 It's a snowball rolling down a hill.

01:32:37.000 What was crazier, South Africa or LA?

01:32:40.000 That is a great question.

01:32:41.000 Uh, I kind of realized when I was hearing about carjackings, uh, home invasions, uh, people just being mugged on the street for their money and their jewelry and et cetera, that I was like, all right, my parents brought me to this country to take me away from that.

01:32:52.000 It's time for me to like, you know, make my next moves.

01:32:55.000 Oh, that was the stuff that was going on in South Africa?

01:32:57.000 Yeah.

01:32:58.000 That was going on South Africa, yes, but when I started seeing that in L.A.

01:33:01.000 and living there in L.A., I was like, OK, this is this is time for me to start debating my next moves because it's just it's not what I it's not what I'm here for.

01:33:08.000 You know, it's not what I want to be around, you know.

01:33:09.000 So, yeah, it's definitely gotten worse since the pandemic.

01:33:12.000 I bet anyone else in the chat can rip and rip.

01:33:15.000 Gotta get away, man.

01:33:15.000 Gotta get out of those cities.

01:33:16.000 Alright, we're gonna go to Super Chats.

01:33:18.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, and share the show with your friends.

01:33:23.000 Be the notification you want to see in the world.

01:33:25.000 We are being censored.

01:33:26.000 We're hearing it from many people.

01:33:28.000 So, share the video, and also become a member at TimCast.com.

01:33:31.000 We're gonna have a members-only, uncensored show coming up at about 11pm.

01:33:35.000 But for now, we will read your Super Chats.

01:33:37.000 Here we go.

01:33:37.000 Ferretman, he says.

01:33:39.000 Since you plan on playing cartoons at Freedomistan, one that I recommend is a Netflix series, Oddballs, by YouTube animator Theo, is it Theod De Stout?

01:33:49.000 Theod is out, I don't know what that means.

01:33:52.000 Not only is it great for all ages, but it has subtle anti-woke-ism.

01:33:55.000 Episode 8 villain is clearly Fauci.

01:33:57.000 Really?

01:33:58.000 It's on Netflix called Oddballs and the villain is Fauci?

01:34:02.000 You wanna write that one down?

01:34:05.000 I'll send you a trailer of it.

01:34:07.000 Netflix series Oddballs, episode 8 villain is Fauci.

01:34:10.000 Wouldn't surprise me.

01:34:13.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:34:14.000 is in the chat.

01:34:14.000 He says, Tim, it's great to see folks wake up to the grift that is AOC.

01:34:17.000 Spirit fingers!

01:34:18.000 Then the cult pledge at UM Medical School.

01:34:21.000 The fight will be long, grueling, but victory is in our sights for the line.

01:34:25.000 Less than 25 days now to vote these people out.

01:34:27.000 Do you guys see the University of, I think it was Minnesota?

01:34:31.000 Where they're all chanting mindlessly about supporting indigenous medicine and health equity and stopping white supremacy?

01:34:40.000 This is cult stuff, dude.

01:34:42.000 I did not see that.

01:34:44.000 Very, very creepy, man.

01:34:46.000 Alex Maggiore says... I probably pronounced your name wrong.

01:34:50.000 On your 4pm show, you said keeping gas low is to help with midterms, but I disagree.

01:34:54.000 I think they're trying to keep it low long enough for Republicans to take control to salvage the 2024 election.

01:35:00.000 I don't know what you mean by that.

01:35:01.000 I don't understand how that would work.

01:35:04.000 All right.

01:35:06.000 Kptmarvel.

01:35:09.000 Oh, that's what it is.

01:35:10.000 Tim, I know Bill Gates is the moob master, but you should check out Microsoft's open source election guard tech.

01:35:16.000 It's a way of cryptographically verifying the integrity of election results.

01:35:19.000 Really?

01:35:19.000 Is that true?

01:35:21.000 5420 USD super chat.

01:35:23.000 Well, interesting.

01:35:24.000 Rocketsauce says, Tim got the notification today.

01:35:26.000 However, today my feed has been inundated with Timcast IRL segments from two years ago.

01:35:31.000 Algorithm has clearly changed.

01:35:33.000 Interesting.

01:35:35.000 I wonder why that is.

01:35:35.000 I wonder why.

01:35:39.000 Maybe they want to make sure people don't watch our modern episodes during the midterm and then you only get outdated information that won't help you.

01:35:48.000 There you go.

01:35:51.000 Pup Shepard says, did you see the gaffe CNN Weather's Twitter liked a not safe for work ABDL tweet today?

01:35:57.000 It was weird, was up for three hours, took screenshots and everything.

01:36:00.000 What is that?

01:36:01.000 ABDL?

01:36:01.000 I don't know what that is.

01:36:04.000 Let's just say it was naughty.

01:36:07.000 Triton says, Luke, thank you for sharing Johnny's story.

01:36:09.000 I'll raise my glass to this young man.

01:36:11.000 Though you may have lived as a man for only a few short months, your final moments showed the courage of a hundred men's lifetimes.

01:36:17.000 Cheers, mate.

01:36:18.000 Yeah, Johnny's an incredible, you know, human being.

01:36:21.000 He deserves to be remembered, and his story is just absolutely insane.

01:36:26.000 Again, he saved a lot of people from a mass shooter.

01:36:31.000 He's a hero, without a doubt.

01:36:32.000 And then what happened?

01:36:33.000 The police responded?

01:36:34.000 A police officer, even though he didn't meet the description of the shooter, even though he bent down, he took down the mass shooter, he took away his firearm, he went to a corner and he was kneeling down in a corner taking the magazine and bullets out of the gun.

01:36:50.000 He wasn't pointing it to anyone. 0.85

01:36:52.000 An officer opened the door and behind the door shot six times, shot him once in the butt.

01:36:58.000 And then they let him bleed out for 40 minutes and they didn't call, and they didn't, the EMTs didn't get him in over 40 minutes as he bled out and died as he stopped a mass shooting in Colorado. 0.99

01:37:09.000 It's absolutely disgusting.

01:37:10.000 I was just there in Colorado.

01:37:12.000 I talked to his friends.

01:37:13.000 I talked to his family members.

01:37:14.000 I released the YouTube video.

01:37:16.000 It's on the YouTube channel right now.

01:37:17.000 We are change.

01:37:19.000 Murph tries DIYs as if Trump was elected as House Speaker.

01:37:22.000 Would that give him a better understanding of the rot inside the administrative state?

01:37:26.000 Perhaps.

01:37:27.000 A lot of people, I mentioned this earlier, that if Trump, if they impeach Biden, people are like, oh, but then Kamala Harris becomes president.

01:37:34.000 And then it's like, what if he, what if they're both impeached?

01:37:36.000 Well, then it's Nancy Pelosi. 0.53

01:37:37.000 It's like, no, no, no, no.

01:37:38.000 Any kind of impeachment will only come after Republicans take the House, in which Kevin McCarthy would probably be speaker.

01:37:44.000 If the House then impeaches Biden over this quid pro quo and Harris, then you would need a conviction, which is not going to happen.

01:37:51.000 But let's just say it does, then you'd get a Republican president.

01:37:55.000 I think they absolutely should nominate Trump to be Speaker of the House.

01:38:00.000 The Republicans wouldn't do it, though, because Republicans are terrible.

01:38:04.000 It'd be fun, though, wouldn't it?

01:38:05.000 Speaker of the House, Donald Trump.

01:38:07.000 Does he have to be in the Senate for that to occur?

01:38:08.000 It's Congress, but in the House, he doesn't have to, no.

01:38:11.000 So they can choose anybody, but they typically just pick somebody who's in the House.

01:38:16.000 Yep.

01:38:17.000 I think that'd be great.

01:38:19.000 Camel of the Mojave says, on this show, they blame corrupt politicians and corrupt private businesses, and the answer is, the corrupt people voting for endless warfare.

01:38:27.000 On this show?

01:38:28.000 How much do I understand?

01:38:31.000 The answer is the corrupt people?

01:38:33.000 Are you saying all the people are corrupt?

01:38:34.000 I don't think they are.

01:38:35.000 I think there are corrupt people, in which they have to hope that there's more not-corrupt people who are voting against it.

01:38:41.000 There we go.

01:38:43.000 Alright, let's see what we got here.

01:38:46.000 Let's grab, uh, let's grab another super chat.

01:38:50.000 Mike Giovanni says, pronounce nuclear correctly, Luke.

01:38:54.000 No.

01:38:54.000 Don't tell me what to do.

01:38:56.000 A lot of people were pointing out that Drew Miller, who's on the show, he's a PhD in nuclear wartime.

01:39:01.000 Nuclear.

01:39:01.000 He kept saying nuclear.

01:39:02.000 And people were like, he's got a PhD in this stuff.

01:39:05.000 Like he's saying nuclear.

01:39:06.000 Maybe we have it right and everyone else has it wrong.

01:39:09.000 Nuclear.

01:39:10.000 Where does that word even come from?

01:39:11.000 I never understood that.

01:39:12.000 I don't know.

01:39:14.000 I think Bush was saying it for a while back in the day.

01:39:16.000 Nuclear.

01:39:17.000 My parents would always hate that.

01:39:18.000 Huh.

01:39:19.000 It's nu-clear.

01:39:20.000 Nu-clear?

01:39:21.000 That's how it's pronounced.

01:39:24.000 Kaiser C says, I just had to put my little buddy Tanner, a cat, down an hour and a half ago.

01:39:29.000 He doesn't have to suffer anymore.

01:39:30.000 Thanks, guys.

01:39:31.000 You make life more bearable despite the sad parts of it.

01:39:34.000 Sorry to hear, man.

01:39:35.000 These things are a part of life, but you got to have a good little buddy Tanner for a long time.

01:39:41.000 Tanner.

01:39:41.000 Yeah.

01:39:42.000 We got Bocas.

01:39:43.000 I think Bocas is going on three or four years old.

01:39:46.000 I think he's, he might be four.

01:39:49.000 And he's out doing Bocas stuff.

01:39:50.000 He has a cat.

01:39:51.000 He's just outside chilling, looking smug.

01:39:52.000 That's what cats do. 1.00

01:39:53.000 Yeah.

01:39:54.000 Thank him for being cool. 0.95

01:39:55.000 He's a little terrorist. 0.99

01:39:56.000 I don't like him. 1.00

01:39:57.000 He just killed him. 0.78

01:39:58.000 He just killed a squirrel.

01:40:00.000 There's a poor squirrel downstairs.

01:40:01.000 Again?

01:40:02.000 Yes.

01:40:02.000 He loves eating squirrels.

01:40:03.000 And he has blood all over himself.

01:40:04.000 And then he tries to go on the kitchen counter.

01:40:06.000 Oh, no.

01:40:07.000 Yes.

01:40:08.000 No.

01:40:08.000 He goes into the skate ramps because nobody can get him.

01:40:10.000 And then he just sits there for hours eating squirrel body.

01:40:14.000 And the squirrels are like, compared to him, they're like a third of his size or maybe like a fourth.

01:40:19.000 So he's like carrying this squirrel in his mouth, just trotting along all proud of himself.

01:40:23.000 I'm proud of him because for a while he was going after baby rabbits.

01:40:26.000 And it's like, come on, dude, be a man.

01:40:28.000 That's a much more sympathetic victim, too, is a baby rabbit.

01:40:30.000 A baby.

01:40:32.000 Come on! 0.61

01:40:33.000 Like, imagine a dude, like this ripped 220-pound hunter guy, going like, I'm going hunting for baby deer.

01:40:38.000 What?

01:40:39.000 That's not impressive.

01:40:40.000 That's sad.

01:40:41.000 Give me a buck, a big win, you know, win victory in your hunt and feed the family, not just killing babies.

01:40:47.000 You're supposed to let the babies grow up. 0.62

01:40:48.000 That's why it was like we all made fun of him.

01:40:50.000 Maybe, maybe Bocas got the message when we were mocking him for killing a baby rabbit. 0.81

01:40:54.000 And he graduated to adult squirrels.

01:40:56.000 Okay, that's more acceptable.

01:40:58.000 Those are bigger.

01:40:58.000 F in the chaffer tanner though.

01:41:00.000 Yeah.

01:41:03.000 Kerry Green says had twatter for less than 90 days been banned again for making fun of VP Harris's ability to drive a stick shift.

01:41:09.000 You guys are awesome.

01:41:10.000 Keep up the good work.

01:41:11.000 Yeah, that's how they do it, huh?

01:41:13.000 Maybe Elon Musk will actually, actually take over at some point.

01:41:17.000 And then this will all be just a horrible nightmare in the past.

01:41:23.000 Let's grab another super chat.

01:41:25.000 AOC's birthday today.

01:41:26.000 She's 33.

01:41:28.000 Happy birthday, Alex.

01:41:29.000 Wow.

01:41:29.000 Happy birthday, Ocasio-Cortez.

01:41:32.000 David H says, what are the odds that Zelensky has dirt on the Bidens?

01:41:35.000 And that's why the U.S.

01:41:36.000 is giving Ukraine so much money and support.

01:41:39.000 I think there's a probability.

01:41:41.000 That's for sure.

01:41:43.000 A lot of people, you know, a lot of people are spreading these memes.

01:41:45.000 It's really funny.

01:41:46.000 They claim AOC is super rich and they claim Tulsi Gabbard is too.

01:41:48.000 And I just never understood that.

01:41:49.000 Yeah, there was a thing that went around saying that her net worth, Cortez's net worth is $22 million. 0.91

01:41:54.000 And then she responded to it.

01:41:55.000 She's like, dude, I still have student loans.

01:41:56.000 Yeah.

01:41:58.000 Yeah, it's just weird.

01:41:59.000 It's like, I'm sure she's making good money now.

01:42:01.000 She's probably making more money than you realize, but come on, $22 million? 0.99

01:42:05.000 And then there's a meme going around saying Tulsi Gabbard owns a $10 million mansion and a $400,000 car.

01:42:11.000 And I'm like, I just don't really believe that.

01:42:14.000 Fake news.

01:42:15.000 Yeah.

01:42:16.000 Don't believe everything you read.

01:42:17.000 Those websites where it's like, they tell you someone's net worth, those are all fake.

01:42:21.000 It'll be like, you know, one of them said Ian was worth like $5 million.

01:42:25.000 It's a 12.

01:42:25.000 And then the next next week, it was 1.2.

01:42:28.000 And then it was like, I don't know.

01:42:30.000 Unless Ian's secretly lying.

01:42:32.000 I have stock in mines that which is worth I don't know what mines is calculated.

01:42:35.000 That's a private company.

01:42:36.000 So that's probably worth a lot.

01:42:38.000 Ian's a secret billionaire.

01:42:39.000 Billions.

01:42:41.000 Billions.

01:42:42.000 The judge says gas was $1.59 a gallon the week of the presidential election.

01:42:46.000 Wow!

01:42:47.000 Jeez, that's crazy.

01:42:48.000 Those were the days, man.

01:42:49.000 Those were the days.

01:42:51.000 Alright.

01:42:52.000 Beepboop says, Tim, if you're looking for a good new show, you should watch Arcane.

01:42:56.000 I say this because you're constantly saying there's no new good shows.

01:42:59.000 Am I saying that?

01:43:00.000 I just finished watching Better Call Saul.

01:43:02.000 That wrapped up the last season this year.

01:43:04.000 And I give the whole series a 10 out of 10.

01:43:08.000 But the ending really, it was like, eh, I guess.

01:43:11.000 Did it feel forced?

01:43:12.000 No, it felt like nothing.

01:43:13.000 Don't spoil it.

01:43:14.000 Okay.

01:43:15.000 You're watching it?

01:43:16.000 Yeah.

01:43:16.000 The ending, I just, I just was on, I was on, I was on enthused.

01:43:20.000 I was like, oh, okay, whatever.

01:43:21.000 I'm in YouTube clip phase on that one.

01:43:24.000 You know, I, that's pretty much how I do most TV now is I, I sample it on YouTube.

01:43:28.000 If I watch enough clips, I say, okay, maybe it's worth watching the series.

01:43:32.000 And then I watch the whole series on like a weekend, just binge it.

01:43:35.000 YouTube shorts, you mean?

01:43:36.000 I usually watch like... Oh, I watched She-Hulk. 1.00

01:43:41.000 I can now definitively say, with the finale out, it is possibly one of the worst shows I have ever seen.

01:43:49.000 And I am going to spoil it for you because I hate it that much and I have no respect for this show.

01:43:56.000 There's no season finale.

01:43:58.000 The last episode breaks down into, okay, there's an AOC scene.

01:44:03.000 Seriously, She-Hulk.

01:44:04.000 There's a scene where this woman, okay, so a bunch of dudes, misogynists, are trolling She-Hulk because women, I guess. 0.99

01:44:12.000 And so, someone, to bait them, the friend of She-Hulk posts She-Hulk dancing in college, and she's wearing thick black glasses with her hair down, and it's very obviously an AOC thing. 0.76

01:44:27.000 And they're like, sick find! 0.97

01:44:30.000 And then for some reason, the Hulk is there, the Abomination's fighting, Titania's fighting, and then she just looks at the camera and says, this is a really stupid story, it makes no sense!

01:44:40.000 And then it cuts to a fake picture of the Disney Plus streaming menu, and she punches through it, I'm not kidding, and she goes, ah, here we go, and jumps into a different movie, And then for the next 15 minutes, it's her walking around Marvel Studios in real life.

01:44:54.000 And then she meets Kevin Feige, who's actually an AI.

01:44:57.000 And she just says, the story's bad.

01:44:59.000 And he says, okay.

01:45:00.000 And then she goes back to the story and the story's over.

01:45:03.000 She goes back and it's like, that's the end of the story.

01:45:05.000 And she's like, there we go.

01:45:06.000 And for all, like, I was just like, what?

01:45:10.000 They call that, the Greeks would call it deus ex machina, where at the very end of a movie there's some god-like creature just appears and tells you it was all a dream and everything's solved now.

01:45:19.000 I mean, well, deus ex machina, what does it mean?

01:45:22.000 A god from the machine?

01:45:22.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:45:23.000 Or a god in the machine, yeah.

01:45:24.000 It basically means that, as the writer of the show, you can make anything happen, and so deus ex machina is then like, oh, Superman, he died, but he's alive now, because a meteor came and it reignited his Kryptonian blood, and he's alive.

01:45:38.000 So, uh, this was worse than that.

01:45:40.000 This was like, I know, let's end the show by not concluding any elements of the story, resolving none of the lingering issues, and telling you outright, it doesn't matter, you'll never know, and it was all one big waste of your time.

01:45:53.000 Yeah.

01:45:54.000 Such lazy writing.

01:45:55.000 If anyone wants to watch Sink Shots Out, what's his name?

01:45:59.000 It's a Gundam?

01:45:59.000 I forget his name.

01:46:00.000 Anyone know that guy?

01:46:01.000 He's done a whole series breakdown on it for the last while now.

01:46:04.000 She-Hulk? 0.95

01:46:05.000 It's a Gundam is the guy's name?

01:46:07.000 I think so.

01:46:07.000 I took something like that.

01:46:08.000 I just know Gundam is like his title on YouTube that everyone refers to him as.

01:46:12.000 Alright, Asiri Design says, Rick Santorum.

01:46:14.000 Oh no, we can't impeach him.

01:46:17.000 Okay, well, Rick came on the show, and it was great to have him.

01:46:20.000 You know, people are a lot of disagreeing.

01:46:23.000 He said we shouldn't impeach Joe Biden because he should only be impeached for things he's done while president, not for past things.

01:46:29.000 Well, now we got it.

01:46:30.000 We got a quid pro quo.

01:46:32.000 So they should impeach him.

01:46:34.000 All right, the moment they win, they come in on what, January 3rd or something?

01:46:37.000 They should immediately be like, okay, articles of impeachment, all in favor. 0.87

01:46:41.000 There you go, vote, do it.

01:46:43.000 He should be impeached over this.

01:46:45.000 I am not confident Republicans will do it, because while you'll get Marjorie Taylor Greene for sure, and many Republicans will sign on, you're gonna get another half who are gonna be like, oh, come on, guys, you know, we have to be above all this.

01:46:56.000 And the Democrats will reject it, and then there will be a majority in opposition to impeaching Joe Biden.

01:47:01.000 Welcome to the modern era.

01:47:04.000 Dracona Force says, the NFL just aired a commercial about election day and how important it is to get educated and let your voice be heard.

01:47:11.000 I'm sure they hit the demographic they were looking for here.

01:47:15.000 I mean, what, if they're getting a bunch of, who is the kind of person who likes football?

01:47:18.000 They're probably more likely to vote for Trump, right?

01:47:20.000 Yeah.

01:47:20.000 So good, whatever, I don't know.

01:47:22.000 I think, though, that one of the ads said that if you vote in this election, it will decide all of the issues that matter most to you.

01:47:29.000 So this clearly has to be the person who wrote this ad's very first election, if they believe that.

01:47:35.000 Alright, Travis Tolbert says, Tim, Trump literally threatened to drop thermonuclear bombs on Moscow and Beijing.

01:47:41.000 Your stance is tantamount to opposing World War II lend-lease that kept our allies from falling to the Nazi regime. 0.70

01:47:48.000 I actually criticized Trump threatening nuclear weapons, saying it's really bad.

01:47:52.000 But at the very least, the fear of Donald Trump actually prevented the escalation of war.

01:47:58.000 So it's like...

01:48:00.000 You know, is it perfect?

01:48:01.000 No.

01:48:01.000 Is it good?

01:48:02.000 It's kind of not that good that Trump had this behavior about him, but it's certainly better than Joe Biden and the Democrats or whatever, and many Republicans, getting the U.S.

01:48:13.000 involved in a border dispute with Russia and Ukraine that could result in World War III.

01:48:17.000 I just don't see the reason for it.

01:48:19.000 I don't get it.

01:48:20.000 Yeah, the Lend-Lease program was after the Nazis had conquered Paris.

01:48:23.000 It was very overtly that they were attempting to take over the world.

01:48:28.000 Alcus SP says, Tim, bring Elad Eliyahu to debate with Luke about Ukraine.

01:48:33.000 Oh, yeah.

01:48:33.000 Have you met Elad yet?

01:48:34.000 No.

01:48:35.000 Oh, we got it.

01:48:35.000 We got to do that.

01:48:36.000 Elad, we'll have you back on so you can debate with Luke.

01:48:38.000 It'll be the loudest and most raucous show we've ever had.

01:48:42.000 What's his stance?

01:48:43.000 He believes in an American unipolar world, that the United States should be expanding and actively the world police to prevent a multipolar world, which would be more dangerous.

01:48:54.000 And so when we were arguing about war, he's very much in favor of U.S.

01:48:57.000 operations and expansion and all that stuff.

01:49:00.000 I got triggered.

01:49:01.000 I got so mad.

01:49:02.000 I think we should have Cassandra here as well, too.

01:49:05.000 Yeah, Cassandra would be great.

01:49:08.000 I would prefer Cassandra and this other guy.

01:49:10.000 Cassandra could handle herself just by herself.

01:49:14.000 She's a very strong woman who I think could handle the conversation a lot better than I can.

01:49:20.000 But with that being said, Ilad's fantastic.

01:49:22.000 He does field reporting for us on the ground.

01:49:24.000 He's really, really great.

01:49:25.000 And I actually respect that we can have these arguments.

01:49:28.000 And I got really mad, and I apologize for getting super mad, but it's cool that we can have those conversations and keep working together.

01:49:34.000 But I just, you know, war.

01:49:35.000 Yeah, I just don't believe we need war to stop war.

01:49:38.000 That doesn't make any rational sense to me.

01:49:40.000 Well, I got pushback on that.

01:49:42.000 I mean, people say fighting fire with fire when they do controlled burns.

01:49:46.000 They'll burn a strip of, like, of the ground.

01:49:48.000 Yeah, but if there's no fire, why in the world do you need fire?

01:49:50.000 To stop the fire?

01:49:51.000 That doesn't make any sense.

01:49:52.000 And I think, essentially, that that's the core of the argument for war.

01:49:56.000 I just think the issue is, there's a farm.

01:49:59.000 And there's a small farm next to it, and they're fighting.

01:50:02.000 And so we're two miles, two, three miles away, and we're like, I know, let's bring weapons to one of those farms for some reason.

01:50:08.000 And it's like, why, dude?

01:50:10.000 Like, neighbors are fighting, let's not be involved in that.

01:50:14.000 You know, what?

01:50:15.000 And World War III, great, great, that's what I want. 1.00

01:50:17.000 No, no thank you.

01:50:20.000 All right.

01:50:20.000 Andrew says, don't underestimate Joe Biden's ability to F things up.

01:50:23.000 Obama, apparently.

01:50:24.000 That's right.

01:50:26.000 Yep.

01:50:27.000 Quote.

01:50:28.000 All right.

01:50:29.000 Commanther says, question for Ian.

01:50:32.000 Are you excited for Victoria 3?

01:50:35.000 I have Crusader Kings 2.

01:50:36.000 I think it's a Paradox game.

01:50:38.000 I haven't gotten into Victoria series or the Europa Universalis, which I also have, but I was looking at some gameplay footage of it.

01:50:46.000 It looks pretty cool.

01:50:46.000 It's very diplomatic, which is pretty cool.

01:50:50.000 I like the conquering aspect of Crusader Kings.

01:50:52.000 I guess short answer is no, but I'm going to keep my eyes on it.

01:50:55.000 Thank you.

01:50:57.000 Alright, Tim Jake says, Luke, are you saying the coalition would not have liberated Kuwait under UN Charter Article 51 if the baby story was not there?

01:51:05.000 The UN would have gone home and left Kuwait under Iraqi control?

01:51:08.000 No, the situation's far more complicated, and the geopolitical perspective and picture was more than just, hey, they kill babies, we've got to go in there.

01:51:18.000 So there's a lot of things that happened behind the scenes, especially when it came to a lot of the secret discussions between Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush, and the promises that the U.S.

01:51:26.000 government made to Saddam Hussein, as of course the United States was working with Saddam Hussein in order to fight the Iranians as well.

01:51:33.000 The picture is far more complicated, but for an emotional standpoint, the war was sold to the American public as going after these baby killers, and it allowed emotionally for the United States people to be like, okay, I understand this.

01:51:47.000 I'm not going to protest this war.

01:51:49.000 This is a war that we need to fight.

01:51:51.000 Trace Ventura says, was Linda raptured or banished to the Shadow Realm?

01:51:55.000 Raptured, actually.

01:51:55.000 You may also notice that Seamus isn't here either.

01:51:57.000 So all the good people have left, it's just us.

01:51:59.000 They both are at a monastery now, and they pledged, you know, for virginity, and we wish them luck.

01:52:07.000 It was a banishment to the Shadow Realm, actually.

01:52:10.000 Lydia inadvertently activated Luke's trap card, and it's entered to the Shadow Realm.

01:52:13.000 The portal is still open.

01:52:15.000 Yeah.

01:52:15.000 Yep.

01:52:16.000 We miss you, Linda.

01:52:18.000 All right, what do we got?

01:52:20.000 Miss Mary says, I want to know what Luke thinks about Tulsi Gabbard being on the forum of young global leaders created by Klaus Schwab.

01:52:26.000 Seems a bit sketch, IMO.

01:52:28.000 Yeah, we talked about that in yesterday's video.

01:52:30.000 Now, I think it's important to point out that she says that she was put on there without her permission, but there's other people countering that saying, well, if you're implementing policies that they really like, that's also something that we should keep a close eye on.

01:52:43.000 Yeah, and like Zuckerberg's on it, and Soros' son.

01:52:46.000 And Crenshaw's also on there, and his defense is, I didn't do anything.

01:52:49.000 They used my photo without permission.

01:52:52.000 Yeah, well, I think he was saying is that it's like an editorial thing, where it's not like they come to you.

01:52:56.000 So I was featured in the Time 100 nominations.

01:53:01.000 So there's 200 people chosen, and then 100 get selected for the Time 100.

01:53:05.000 I was a nominee.

01:53:07.000 No one told me.

01:53:08.000 One day I woke up and Time Magazine said, Time 100 nominee Tim Poole.

01:53:12.000 That's what they're basically saying, that the editorial board just says it.

01:53:15.000 Now, her relationship with the CFR, I think, is definitely worth looking into.

01:53:21.000 Benjamin Dover says, good name by the way, as a truck driver, I completely agree.

01:53:25.000 Maryland drivers are probably the worst I've encountered on the road, followed closely by Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, and New York.

01:53:32.000 Why do you think that is?

01:53:35.000 Proximity to DC.

01:53:36.000 What do you think?

01:53:37.000 Yeah, I think it's a little of that.

01:53:38.000 I mean, Rhode Island used to have the bad reputation too, because they didn't require people to own auto insurance.

01:53:44.000 So you could get into an accident with a Rhode Island driver and you might get yourself into some trouble.

01:53:49.000 Wow.

01:53:50.000 Yeah, Utah's had a bad reputation for that for a long time.

01:53:52.000 I think, uh, I don't know.

01:53:54.000 Could work.

01:53:55.000 says, first super chat, instead of or in addition to states breaking away from

01:53:59.000 other states, what if states passed legislation to form their own electoral

01:54:03.000 college for their state that elects state positions such as governor? I think,

01:54:07.000 I don't know, could work. You guys wanna hear a joke? Yeah.

01:54:11.000 So I went to a restaurant and the waitress came up and said, can I get you

01:54:15.000 something to drink?

01:54:16.000 Well me being clever.

01:54:17.000 I said whatever floats your boat water, right when she came back She brought me an empty cup except for a piece of paper in it that had Archimedes law of water displacement on it Explanations for dinner It's an old joke from the internet I heard a long time ago.

01:54:32.000 Archimedes' Law of Water Displacement.

01:54:34.000 That was him, right?

01:54:35.000 Is that it?

01:54:35.000 I don't know.

01:54:36.000 Let's find out.

01:54:36.000 Yeah.

01:54:37.000 Whatever floats your boat.

01:54:39.000 Ah, I thought I was going to get a cup of ice cold water.

01:54:41.000 How clever.

01:54:43.000 Kevin Bergman says, I'm fourth gen state of Jefferson.

01:54:46.000 Our flag is two X's representing rejection of Salem and Sac. 0.60

01:54:50.000 PDX full of first generation progs who don't respect the rest of Oregon.

01:54:54.000 Looks confirmed.

01:54:55.000 Archimedes principle.

01:54:56.000 Archimedes principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces.

01:55:05.000 And you know, gas is also a fluid.

01:55:08.000 Interesting.

01:55:09.000 Yeah.

01:55:10.000 You ever see the video where the Mythbusters float stuff on top of, what is it?

01:55:13.000 Um, sulfur hydroxide or something like that.

01:55:15.000 Sodium hydroxide.

01:55:16.000 What's, what's the gas?

01:55:18.000 Sulfur maybe, but it's a really dense gas.

01:55:21.000 It's invisible and they pour it and you, and you, it looks like nothing's happening.

01:55:25.000 And then they put like a paper boat and it's floating on it.

01:55:27.000 It's the, it's the thing that you want to look it up when you inhale it.

01:55:29.000 It makes your voice really deep.

01:55:31.000 Yeah.

01:55:32.000 Yeah.

01:55:32.000 That sounds pretty cool.

01:55:34.000 Yeah.

01:55:36.000 DJ Madero says, Tim, I live in Bend, Oregon.

01:55:38.000 We have five different police forces in the city limits.

01:55:41.000 Wow.

01:55:43.000 Sulfur hexafluoride?

01:55:44.000 There you go.

01:55:44.000 Sulfur hexafluoride.

01:55:45.000 That sounds about right.

01:55:46.000 Voicel Satan gas? 0.74

01:55:47.000 Is that what it is?

01:55:49.000 Because it makes your voice really deep?

01:55:50.000 Yeah.

01:55:50.000 Super low.

01:55:52.000 All right.

01:55:53.000 Slavkai Nikki says, Ian, I've punched a dog before when I was a kid in order to protect my little brother who was being attacked.

01:56:00.000 He doesn't like me, but I'd do it again.

01:56:02.000 Well, that's not unreasonable.

01:56:03.000 If a dog's attacking you, you have every right to defend yourself.

01:56:06.000 Yeah.

01:56:07.000 I mean, you can punch a person if they're attacking you and you're defending yourself.

01:56:10.000 You're supposed to do it, right?

01:56:13.000 DJ Montalvo says, if you could get It's a Gundam on as a guest, it would be great.

01:56:18.000 He offers very funny commentary on cultural issues.

01:56:21.000 Yeah, funny guy.

01:56:22.000 Well, there you go.

01:56:23.000 Let's take a look.

01:56:25.000 Richard Adams says, if you vote for me, all of your wildest dreams will come true.

01:56:29.000 Vote for you for what?

01:56:32.000 No idea.

01:56:32.000 Dog catcher races are getting wild now.

01:56:35.000 That's right.

01:56:37.000 All right, what do we got here?

01:56:39.000 Dan Ines says, I think the comment about keeping gas down until Republicans take over was implying that Biden plans to blame the cost increase on our Republican Congress.

01:56:47.000 Yeah, but if they win in November, it's not they're not going to be actually in until January.

01:56:53.000 So there's a gap there.

01:56:54.000 No, this was about them winning.

01:56:56.000 They needed gas prices to stay low so they could win.

01:57:00.000 Let's see.

01:57:02.000 Booty Sexful says, New Hampshire general election is November 8th.

01:57:07.000 Just filled out an absentee ballot.

01:57:09.000 I will be out of the country for reasons, but we'll be hand delivering soon.

01:57:12.000 Don't forget to vote.

01:57:12.000 It's important.

01:57:14.000 What did I read?

01:57:15.000 I read somewhere that New Hampshire's draft registration rate is 100%.

01:57:17.000 And I'm like, that sounds kind of odd.

01:57:20.000 It doesn't sound like New Hampshire, you know?

01:57:24.000 No, it doesn't.

01:57:25.000 They do have a huge state legislature though.

01:57:28.000 Yeah.

01:57:29.000 You know, maybe.

01:57:31.000 All right.

01:57:32.000 DDMegaDoodoo says, Tim's Law, if the conversation goes on long enough, Tim will almost certainly use having chickens as an analogy.

01:57:40.000 P.S.

01:57:40.000 Jimmy Akins has a full episode on those pixies from yesterday.

01:57:44.000 He would also make a good guest.

01:57:46.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:57:46.000 That Arthur Conan Doyle believed in pixies.

01:57:50.000 Is that what that's what it was?

01:57:50.000 Yeah, I think so.

01:57:51.000 Or fairies in particular. 0.96

01:57:52.000 Fairies. 0.99

01:57:53.000 Yeah.

01:57:54.000 Great username, by the way.

01:57:56.000 You're on.

01:57:57.000 Fallen Angel says, Tim, it would be like the movie Chappy, where South Africa uses robots to augment their police department, then a rogue employee rewrites their code to make the public afraid of robots.

01:58:06.000 That's true.

01:58:08.000 Yeah.

01:58:09.000 Or maybe like District 9, when aliens come and then a guy gets sprayed by alien gunk, which turns him into an alien for some reason.

01:58:16.000 That I did not understand.

01:58:17.000 I didn't get that part either.

01:58:18.000 It was like a battery or something?

01:58:19.000 I don't even know.

01:58:20.000 I have no idea.

01:58:21.000 Have you seen it?

01:58:22.000 Yeah.

01:58:22.000 In the theater.

01:58:23.000 It was a very weird movie.

01:58:24.000 Yeah, I mean, I liked it, but I don't understand why, like, he was putting a battery together, and then the gunk from the battery sprays him, turning him into an alien?

01:58:30.000 Like, what is it?

01:58:31.000 I don't understand.

01:58:31.000 I didn't get that part.

01:58:32.000 I mean, South Africans will know it's actually a reference to District 6.

01:58:35.000 I just flipped it over to District 9.

01:58:36.000 It's a whole thing.

01:58:37.000 I'm not gonna get into it right now, but... Yeah, it's like about segregation and apartheid and stuff, right?

01:58:40.000 Yes, exactly, exactly.

01:58:42.000 Yep.

01:58:43.000 Tina Collette says, Black Mirror, LOL.

01:58:45.000 Last week I received a package from Amazon.

01:58:47.000 I neither ordered or paid for it.

01:58:49.000 It was a seven pound faux marble toothbrush holder.

01:58:53.000 Ugliest thing I have ever seen. 0.97

01:58:54.000 What the hell, dude?

01:58:55.000 We've had that happen before, but it's rare where we've gotten a weird package delivered to us we didn't order and we just like, we don't accept it.

01:59:02.000 Like, I don't know what this is or why.

01:59:03.000 It's pretty suspect, yeah.

01:59:05.000 But it was like, I can't remember what it was.

01:59:06.000 We've gotten weird stuff like books.

01:59:08.000 I'm just like, I don't know.

01:59:09.000 It's just weird.

01:59:10.000 Yeah.

01:59:11.000 But we know for a fact that it was like somehow... You know what it is?

01:59:16.000 I think recently we ordered something and they gave us the wrong thing.

01:59:19.000 So someone in the warehouse probably put the wrong thing in the box and gave it to us.

01:59:23.000 True.

01:59:23.000 Yeah.

01:59:26.000 Let's grab one more.

01:59:27.000 What do we got?

01:59:28.000 Steve Smith says, Alright, hear me out.

01:59:30.000 If LA and New Jersey can have two teams, why can't Chicago have two teams? 0.92

01:59:34.000 At least one in the AFC they can actually root for.

01:59:38.000 I don't know.

01:59:39.000 Sure, I guess.

01:59:39.000 That'd be cool.
