Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Biden Doubles Down On Russia Regime Change w-Alex Bruesewitz

00:00:00.000 you Joe Biden was

00:00:11.000 questioned by Fox News's do see about three statements he had made which

00:00:16.000 were particularly egregious and he claimed they never happened

00:00:19.000 He implied there would be U.S.

00:00:21.000 troops going into Ukraine, that the U.S.

00:00:23.000 would use chemical weapons, and that Joe Biden wanted regime change in Russia, and Biden's like, that never happened, what are you talking about?

00:00:30.000 This is an absolutely crazy news cycle, because not only did he deny it, He then doubles down on calling for regime change in Russia.

00:00:39.000 And then when Ducey says, like, what do you mean you'll respond in kind to chemical weapons?

00:00:44.000 He goes, I'm not telling you!

00:00:45.000 And he's like, the people want to know.

00:00:47.000 And he's like, well, I'm not telling them.

00:00:49.000 Just wow.

00:00:50.000 Tremendous response from a president.

00:00:51.000 So, you know, we'll be talking about that.

00:00:54.000 Plus, Florida has signed, Ron DeSantis has signed into law the don't say straight bill.

00:00:58.000 That's right.

00:00:58.000 The bill in Florida which prevents teachers from talking to preschoolers to third graders about heterosexual marriage.

00:01:06.000 It really does.

00:01:07.000 Of course, the media and the left have been framing it as a don't-say-gay bill, but we'll get into all that stuff.

00:01:10.000 And then, ladies and gentlemen, we have an extra juicy bit of drama tonight!

00:01:15.000 You see, on November 2nd, 2020, I released the first song in a series called Will of the People, where you see a ground shot of the base of a statue moving up with cables thrown over it under an orange sky, and then people pull the rope down while saying, this is the will of the people.

00:01:35.000 And something interesting happened.

00:01:36.000 Muse, on my birthday, March 9th, published a video for their album Will of the People and song Will of the People, That starts with a ground shot, and then you see a foot come in, and then it shows a low view up to a statue with cables hanging from it under an orange sky, while people are chanting Will of the People.

00:01:55.000 And I've gotten a lot of questions about it, and a lot of people are asking me, what does it mean?

00:02:00.000 What did my tweet mean?

00:02:01.000 What's going to be happening?

00:02:04.000 Wow, this is really crazy.

00:02:05.000 This is a crazy story, and I feel like I'm in a very difficult position here, so I'll just give you just a brief, a quick mention.

00:02:11.000 Most of you who have been following the show know that we've invested a significant sum of money, six figures, into our Will of the People universe.

00:02:20.000 I've mentioned repeatedly we have a sequel.

00:02:21.000 We actually have several because this is part of a concept universe following these ideas that we talk about in the show in song form.

00:02:28.000 We've talked about graphic novels and I shouldn't have to reveal our plans for these characters.

00:02:34.000 We've already storyboarded out two sequels to the song as part of the series.

00:02:38.000 We've already had plans for... We've already discussed film.

00:02:44.000 And so we're very heavily investing in cultural development.

00:02:47.000 So we'll get into all of that, but suffice it to say, This is a serious problem for us.

00:02:52.000 But we'll talk about what it means, and I'll show you guys what it is, because some people have questions about legal issues.

00:02:56.000 And I'll just add one last thing to let people understand.

00:03:00.000 We're not some fly-by-night company.

00:03:02.000 We're not just like some... We're in a six-figure studio.

00:03:05.000 This is, you know, expensive construction in a multi... in a million-dollar property.

00:03:11.000 Like, we are a big company.

00:03:13.000 You got it right.

00:03:13.000 of our reach and everything. We have a ton of lawyers that handle all of this

00:03:17.000 stuff for us and it's shocking that we're in this position but here we are.

00:03:20.000 So that being said we'll get into all the news. Joining us to talk about all

00:03:25.000 this is Alex Brusewitz. Did I get it right? You got it right. All right man I was

00:03:30.000 worried about it. I was like I'm gonna say it wrong. How do you pronounce your last name?

00:03:33.000 It's Puh-ow-el. 1.00

00:03:35.000 That's wonderful.

00:03:36.000 Is it French?

00:03:37.000 Yes!

00:03:37.000 Or Ukrainian?

00:03:38.000 It's actually Dutch.

00:03:39.000 Oh, it's Dutch. 1.00

00:07:06.000 So we're cranking all this cultural stuff, so we take it seriously.

00:07:10.000 Alright, so don't forget to smash the like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends.

00:07:14.000 Let's read this first story from the Daily Mail!

00:07:17.000 Biden stands by his comment that Putin cannot remain in power, but insists he was expressing moral outrage, not policy change.

00:07:25.000 Claims three Russia gaffes didn't happen, despite White House having to walk them back.

00:07:32.000 I got to show you the video, everybody.

00:07:34.000 You need to watch this because I'm sitting downstairs, I get a message from Cassandra Fairbanks,

00:07:42.000 McDonald, and she's like, you need to watch this video. No laughing and LOL or 0.97

00:07:46.000 anything, it was like, watch this.

00:07:48.000 And then I watch it, and we're just playing it on the counter. And then all of a sudden,

00:07:52.000 we get to this point where everyone in the room busts out laughing. And I'm just like,

00:07:56.000 we are screwed. Come on, man. Let me play this clip for you guys, and then we'll... 0.99

00:08:00.000 Other leaders. Oh, wait, let me fix the audio for you.

00:08:03.000 You know, it's funny because before the show started, I was browsing Twitter. I didn't get a

00:08:08.000 chance to do that today. It's very necessary. And I saw your tweet with that Biden video,

00:08:12.000 and I was cracking up. I don't want to interrupt your conversation.

00:08:15.000 I was like, we are screwed. All right, let's see if we got it. Hopefully it's loud enough. 0.87

00:08:18.000 Are you worried that other leaders in the world are going to start to doubt that America is back

00:08:25.000 if some of these big things that you say on the world stage keep getting walked back?

00:08:31.000 What's getting walked back?

00:08:34.000 It sounded like you told U.S.

00:08:37.000 troops they were going to Ukraine.

00:08:39.000 It sounded like you said it was possible the U.S.

00:08:41.000 would use a chemical weapon.

00:08:43.000 And it sounded like you were calling for regime change in Russia.

00:08:48.000 And we know... None of the three occurred.

00:08:51.000 None of the three occurred?

00:08:51.000 None of the three.

00:08:52.000 Mr. President?

00:08:53.000 You interpret the language that way.

00:08:55.000 I was talking to the troops.

00:08:56.000 We're talking about helping train the troops in that are the Ukrainian troops that are in Poland.

00:09:04.000 That's what the context.

00:09:05.000 I sat there with those guys for a couple hours.

00:09:07.000 That's what we talked about.

00:09:08.000 So when you said you're going to see when you're there, you were not intending to see when you're there?

00:09:13.000 I was referring to with, meeting with and talking with the Ukrainian troops that

00:09:19.000 were in Poland.

00:09:19.000 And when you said a chemical weapon use by Russia would trigger a response in kind?

00:09:24.000 It will trigger a significant response.

00:09:27.000 What does that mean?

00:09:28.000 I'm not going to tell you. 1.00

00:09:30.000 You've got to be silly. 0.99

00:09:32.000 The world wants to know. 0.98

00:09:34.000 The world wants to know a lot of things.

00:09:35.000 I'm not telling them what the response will be.

00:09:37.000 Then Russia knows the response. 0.75

00:09:41.000 That was amazing.

00:09:43.000 Also, I want to say, I just love how it starts with this reporter talking to him like he's five years old.

00:09:48.000 It's like the exact cadence and tone of voice he used to speak to a child with.

00:09:52.000 God bless Peter Doocy.

00:09:53.000 He's been great this entire regime so far.

00:09:56.000 He's going to be really important next couple of years too.

00:09:59.000 Yeah, it's crazy how the guy from Fox News is the only one questioning the president.

00:10:05.000 Look, when you have a President Trump, you get a journalist who's like, Trump, I gotta push back, I want some questions answered.

00:10:11.000 I'll be like, you know, we should have journalists pushing back, no matter what it is.

00:10:15.000 If Trump could come out and give a good answer and a journalist is like, I'm gonna push back and I want you to answer these concerns, I'm fine with that.

00:10:21.000 But what do we get under Trump?

00:10:22.000 Every single journalist was just always spitting and yelling and complaining.

00:10:28.000 And very, very unserious lies, manipulations, chasing false stories. 0.98

00:10:32.000 Now we get Biden, arguably one of the worst presidents we've ever had, who said, when you're there, you're going to see people in front of a damn tank refusing to move. 0.98

00:10:42.000 It's like, what does that mean? 0.98

00:10:44.000 Like troops are going to be there.

00:10:45.000 He said, if Russia uses chemical weapons, we'll respond in kind.

00:10:48.000 Uh, Is the U.S.

00:10:50.000 going to use chemical weapons in Ukraine?

00:10:52.000 Well, remember, Tim, the adults are back in charge.

00:10:54.000 That's what we heard for four years.

00:10:55.000 We need to get the adults back in charge, and this is the best that they have to offer.

00:11:00.000 I think we went too far to the upper limits with the whole adult thing.

00:11:04.000 We could have been a little younger.

00:11:05.000 One of my favorite Don Jr.

00:11:06.000 posts was he says you're supposed to eat your vegetables, not elect them.

00:11:10.000 And so that's what we have right here.

00:11:12.000 I mean, he's completely lost it.

00:11:14.000 And, you know, to your point, the media was so, you know, vicious towards Trump and they would lie about him.

00:11:21.000 But now they cover for their lies and they'll actually run stories about how Joe Biden didn't actually say what he said.

00:11:28.000 This is what he actually meant.

00:11:29.000 And so it's a total double standard.

00:11:31.000 It's complete BS.

00:11:32.000 We saw Lindsey Graham call for the assassination of Vladimir Putin.

00:11:36.000 I was like, yo.

00:11:37.000 I call him Lady G. There was a report a couple years back about Lindsey Graham, Lady G, about how he had relationships with a bunch of men. 0.89

00:11:47.000 And the establishment would say, Alex, you can't call Lindsey Graham Lady G. It's going to be hard for us to recommend senators to work with you. 1.00

00:11:55.000 And that's okay.

00:11:56.000 So I doubled down on Lady G. And so, is he drunk when he goes on Hannity calling for the assassination?

00:12:03.000 It's the same thing here.

00:12:04.000 And so, who's running the messaging on this?

00:12:09.000 So I bring him up because now Biden is saying, what did he say?

00:12:13.000 Quote, for God's sake, this man cannot remain in power.

00:12:17.000 And I'm just like, wow.

00:12:19.000 You want to talk about no peace, no chance at any kind of resolution here?

00:12:25.000 You know, I'm not a military expert by any means, okay?

00:12:26.000 can thank the president because, yo, Vladimir Putin is going to be like, OK, there is absolutely

00:12:32.000 no reason to communicate at all with the Americans.

00:12:34.000 We know their position.

00:12:35.000 So that, you know, I'm not a military expert by any means.

00:12:38.000 OK, but I've been in a few fights in my life or have seen some fights happening.

00:12:43.000 And I think the number one goal should be to deescalate.

00:12:45.000 Right.

00:12:46.000 And the adults in charge currently have no interest in deescalating.

00:12:50.000 Why?

00:12:50.000 Because the people who fund their campaigns and fund their livelihoods, something called the Military Industrial Complex, they say, no de-escalation.

00:12:59.000 You guys are pushing for war.

00:13:00.000 We're sending in the MIGs. 1.00

00:13:02.000 And like I said, nobody knows what the hell a MIG is, but everybody's sending in tweets in all caps. 0.99

00:13:06.000 Send in the MIGs. 1.00

00:13:07.000 And so I don't want to send in the MIGs. 1.00

00:13:09.000 I want to send in the peace.

00:13:10.000 Yeah, it's hilarious.

00:13:12.000 You know, the adults who are in charge completely fail to understand that there is a concrete world that exists outside of their rhetoric, and politics doesn't just exist on Twitter or on television, and the things they say to foreign leaders or about leaders are actually going to have consequences beyond their constituents liking them more, or throwing red meat to their fan base, or the right people disliking them.

00:13:33.000 I mean, calling for the assassination of a foreign leader online while they are invading another country and tensions are as high between us and them as they've ever been or for the president of the United States to say that the leader of a nuclear power needs to be removed from his position is so unbelievably out of line and insane and irresponsible

00:13:56.000 But of course, they're the grown-ups, right?

00:13:58.000 And we constantly heard about how Trump had mean tweets, and Trump wasn't responsible with the things that he said.

00:14:03.000 But you know what?

00:14:03.000 Things were somewhat together at that point, and these people are literally not at all different, except Trump's policies were actually somewhat effective.

00:14:12.000 I like how Trump was, you know, they accused him of working with dictators.

00:14:17.000 And I'm just like, if it brought peace, it was I can't remember who it was.

00:14:22.000 I don't want to quote the wrong person.

00:14:23.000 But he was like, you got to understand the reason Putin didn't invade Ukraine under Trump was because Trump was doing his bidding.

00:14:29.000 What the hell does that even mean? 1.00

00:14:30.000 It's so stupid. 1.00

00:14:31.000 I'm like, pulling our troops out of Afghanistan, I guess. 1.00

00:14:34.000 Pulling our troops out of Syria, okay, I guess. 0.50

00:14:36.000 So what you're saying is Donald Trump was de-escalating war and crushing ISIS, so Putin was like, alright, I'mma chill.

00:14:41.000 Yeah, should he not have done that?

00:14:43.000 I mean, I guess if it makes Putin happy, we shouldn't do it, but this is why it was a perfect and beautiful lie.

00:14:48.000 I got it.

00:14:49.000 What is it?

00:14:49.000 If we really want to piss off Putin, then we just need to stand back while ISIS comes back.

00:14:55.000 That'll show that that Russian. 1.00

00:14:57.000 That's true.

00:14:59.000 So I've been doing a lot to support Ukraine.

00:15:02.000 I've banned Moscow meals in my home.

00:15:04.000 I'm not doing white Russians anymore. 1.00

00:15:06.000 In fact, I'm just going to dump out every bottle of vodka I own.

00:15:10.000 And if you're not doing stuff to help Ukraine each day, you have to check yourself before you wreck yourself, because Ukraine is like my total everything now.

00:15:18.000 Can I ask you something?

00:15:20.000 What's your policy on cats that were bred in Russia competing in cat shows?

00:15:24.000 I want to make sure you really have a sufficiently tough response to their aggressiveness.

00:15:29.000 Yeah, I don't think that should be allowed.

00:15:31.000 We need to take serious measures. 0.55

00:15:32.000 We should ban Russian cats from America.

00:15:35.000 I went to a yogurt restaurant. 0.94

00:15:37.000 Like a frozen yogurt place.

00:15:39.000 And they had a chalkboard when you walked in.

00:15:41.000 And someone drew the Ukrainian flag on it.

00:15:44.000 And I'm like, the people working here are like 16 years old.

00:15:48.000 And I don't think any of them know where Ukraine is.

00:15:51.000 No, they couldn't point it out if there was the letter U and a picture of a crane next to it on a map.

00:15:55.000 That's what I think.

00:15:57.000 I love all the buildings lit up in, like, blue and yellow.

00:16:00.000 And I wish people paid this much attention to Ukraine in October of 2020 when it was reported that Hunter Biden was getting paid big money by Burisma.

00:16:08.000 But now everybody's Ukraine expert, Ukraine stan, Adam Kinzinger's, you know, fawning over Zelensky shirtless every day on Twitter.

00:16:17.000 If you came to me and you were like, Joe Biden actually has a gigantic mind control device and the reason he always seems out of it and tired is because he's like Professor X and he's just exhausted himself and he's mind controlling people into believing fake news, I'd be like, well, you know, There's been so many fake stories and people keep believing it.

00:16:35.000 That almost sounds like a plausible explanation.

00:16:37.000 Biden's got a mind control device.

00:16:39.000 Cause I don't, I don't, I don't understand how you can have millions of people in this country, like one day, all of their, all their Twitter accounts have blue hats.

00:16:48.000 Then all their Twitter accounts have syringes.

00:16:50.000 Then all their Twitter accounts have Ukraine flags.

00:16:52.000 Yeah.

00:16:52.000 And like, no matter how many fake stories come out, they just like, I'm gonna go along with whatever, whatever they say.

00:16:58.000 Or like, was it Bill Burr?

00:16:59.000 When he was talking to Joe and he was like, I just turn on the news once every two weeks and do what they tell me to do.

00:17:03.000 I'm like, man.

00:17:04.000 Oh boy.

00:17:06.000 Someone's gotta have mind control powers, I swear.

00:17:08.000 Thinking's hard.

00:17:09.000 It's hard to think.

00:17:10.000 And people have whatever the hell they got going on.

00:17:13.000 They have their fancy football leagues that they gotta pay attention to, or they have their Netflix series they really tune into.

00:17:18.000 Doing the real critical thinking about the important issues, it's hard.

00:17:21.000 They just wanna listen to the experts, right?

00:17:24.000 And the experts are bought and paid for, unfortunately, by people who Yeah, I absolutely see it happening.

00:17:29.000 How many days do you think it'll be until some fact checker publishes an article saying

00:17:34.000 Tim Pool claims Joe Biden has mind control powers?

00:17:38.000 One day?

00:17:39.000 Two days?

00:17:40.000 Two days.

00:17:41.000 I can absolutely see it happening.

00:17:42.000 They'll be like, Tim Pool insanely claims Joe Biden has mind control powers because

00:17:43.000 they don't know what sarcasm or a joke is.

00:17:45.000 Or if they're really meta, they'll release an article saying Tim Pool falsely claims

00:17:49.000 we're going to release an article about him making false claims about Joe Biden's mind

00:17:53.000 You're onto something there, Seamus.

00:17:55.000 Thank you, thank you.

00:17:57.000 One thing I wanted to mention here is when we look at the scenario, when we look at the fact that Trump was called a puppet for Putin every single time he did something that Russia might at the very least appreciate, or which wasn't explicitly aggressive towards them, we were told he was a puppet.

00:18:12.000 This is exactly why Russiagate was the perfect lie for the deep state and the industrial military complex to fabricate about a sitting president of the United States, because they've been trying to push for war with Russia for years now, and all you have to say is, well, the current president is being controlled, and anytime he doesn't want to go to war with them, anytime he doesn't want to do anything that would lead to war with them, it's because he's a puppet.

00:18:32.000 It's because he's weak.

00:18:33.000 Do you guys see this tweet?

00:18:34.000 We have this from Gordon Lubold.

00:18:36.000 All right, this guy is a White House national security and Pentagon reporter for the Wall Street Journal.

00:18:41.000 He says, Leon Panetta says on CNN that Biden's gaffe in Europe about regime change came about because Biden is Irish, and his instinct to internalize human suffering may have overwhelmed him to the point where he was not careful about what he says.

00:18:56.000 Biden needs more discipline, Panetta says.

00:18:58.000 What's he talking about?

00:19:00.000 As you say, there's some sort of internalized Irish thing that exists within ethnically Irish people causes them to respond a certain way.

00:19:05.000 Alex, are you Irish?

00:19:06.000 I'm not Irish.

00:19:07.000 Oh, okay.

00:19:07.000 Well, I could self-identify though.

00:19:09.000 That's true.

00:19:10.000 All right.

00:19:10.000 Well, I did on the 17th.

00:19:12.000 I'm assuming this is satirical though.

00:19:14.000 I'm not Ian, no.

00:19:15.000 I'm gonna be Ian today.

00:19:17.000 Seamus, tell me about this deep Irish internalization of suffering. 1.00

00:19:22.000 Wait, I want to be clear.

00:19:23.000 This is a joke, right?

00:19:24.000 No!

00:19:25.000 No, come on! 0.99

00:19:26.000 Are you serious?

00:19:27.000 Oh my gosh, I would have used this to get out of so much trouble in school.

00:19:30.000 I know, right?

00:19:31.000 I'd have been like, you know what, I'll turn my homework in when Ireland is a free nation, not being occupied by the British.

00:19:36.000 Is that what they're claiming?

00:19:37.000 Yeah, I have no clue.

00:19:38.000 What is this?

00:19:39.000 I'm sorry.

00:19:42.000 This has to be a joke.

00:19:43.000 You're messing with me.

00:19:44.000 I don't know.

00:19:44.000 Is it a joke?

00:19:44.000 Is it for real?

00:19:45.000 I don't know.

00:19:45.000 This is a Wall Street Journal reporter tweeting it out.

00:19:48.000 I agree with you.

00:19:49.000 I'd assume it wasn't real.

00:19:50.000 Even if it's not a joke, it's a joke.

00:19:51.000 You know what I mean? 0.99

00:19:52.000 It's ridiculous. 0.97

00:19:53.000 It's a great statement. 0.98

00:19:54.000 The spin's amazing.

00:19:56.000 Are we an oppressed group now who gets to use that as an excuse for failure?

00:20:01.000 The Irish have always been oppressed, in my opinion.

00:20:03.000 It's true.

00:20:04.000 Well, no, I mean, Irish people weren't, like, considered white until being white meant you had to apologize for being white. 0.63

00:20:08.000 Absolutely.

00:20:09.000 So, frankly, you know, talk about reparations.

00:20:11.000 Buying high and selling low.

00:20:13.000 I'm just thinking about how we're going to title this thumbnail, this clip, and it's going to be like, Seamus Outrage Responds Outrage to Racism Against Christians.

00:20:20.000 CNN claims Joe Biden is oppressed because he's Irish.

00:20:23.000 Yes.

00:20:23.000 Or something like that.

00:20:24.000 It's going to be good.

00:20:25.000 I wrote a book called Anglo Fragility. 0.65

00:20:28.000 And it's about how if you don't think you have Anglo privilege, it's because you've internalized it more deeply than other people.

00:20:35.000 And when I make mistakes and you point that out, it's actually because you are spitting upon the graves of my ancestors for holding me accountable.

00:20:41.000 Irish!

00:20:42.000 I didn't see that one coming.

00:20:43.000 Yeah, I can't believe that.

00:20:44.000 It would be really great if they used it as an excuse for anything Biden does.

00:20:48.000 He's Irish!

00:20:49.000 Come on! 0.61

00:20:50.000 Well, this is interesting because you remember during the State of the Union when I said he sounds drunk?

00:20:55.000 Oh, he's Irish!

00:20:57.000 You brought up a good point about the Russiagate scenario as well, and it's important.

00:21:02.000 Lindsey Graham was on CNN shortly after the 2016 election, and he did an interview talking about how Russia also hacked his emails.

00:21:12.000 And that's why he got 1% of the primary vote.

00:21:13.000 Now he got 1% of the primary vote because his failed, dangerous policies were horrible and widely rejected.

00:21:20.000 And also because he's Lindsey Graham.

00:21:22.000 Nobody likes this guy.

00:21:22.000 So he's had a personal bone to pick with Putin for a long time.

00:21:26.000 He blames his own failures on Putin.

00:21:29.000 He should take some self accountability and seek help.

00:21:32.000 I want to make two points here.

00:21:33.000 Firstly, everyone argues, well, my emails were hacked by a nefarious group who you shouldn't trust.

00:21:37.000 OK, but those were your emails.

00:21:39.000 We're talking about things you actually said.

00:21:40.000 You can't like Putin did not put those words in your mouth. 0.91

00:21:43.000 But also we went from the president as a Russian puppet to the president is an Irish puppet. 0.87

00:21:48.000 His internalized suffering as an Irishman. 0.78

00:21:53.000 It's resulted... Remember when someone commented, is this related?

00:21:57.000 Is that not also like really, really offensive?

00:21:59.000 That's extremely racist towards... Well, but he is Irish. 0.88

00:22:02.000 I know, but that's extremely like, oh, well, of course he's gonna make mistakes, he's Irish, you know what I mean? 1.00

00:22:07.000 Of course he said something ridiculous and needlessly aggressive that he didn't need. 0.90

00:22:11.000 Of course he picked a fight that he didn't need to get in. 0.99

00:22:13.000 He's Irish!

00:22:15.000 Whenever Biden slurs or stumbles, can we just say, he's Irish?

00:22:18.000 He's Irish.

00:22:19.000 Watch out, itchy, he's Irish. 1.00

00:22:20.000 You know what the implication of that would be?

00:22:22.000 But look, look, look.

00:22:23.000 Someone replied, is this related somehow to Cuomo's I'm Irish defense?

00:22:26.000 And that was Cuomo's I'm Italian defense.

00:22:28.000 When he posted all those videos of him grabbing people and kissing them, and he was like, see, look, it's normal.

00:22:32.000 I do it all the time.

00:22:33.000 That's what the top comment is, an Italian giving advice on self-discipline? 1.00

00:22:36.000 Question mark, question mark.

00:22:37.000 I just want to say, this is not a joke.

00:22:40.000 Fox just released an article that says, former Obama defense secretary, President Biden made Putin gaffe because he's, quote, Irish.

00:22:46.000 Please, hold on.

00:22:47.000 Can I read this tweet again?

00:22:48.000 I'm sorry, I'm not off this yet.

00:22:50.000 We'll get back to it, don't worry.

00:22:52.000 Oh, there we go.

00:22:52.000 So we got the actual article.

00:22:54.000 Gosh, can you expect from him?

00:22:55.000 I know, he's just Irish.

00:22:56.000 Yeah, there you go.

00:22:57.000 Irish epithet strikes again!

00:22:59.000 Oh my God.

00:22:59.000 It's amazing.

00:23:03.000 New epigenetic trauma is a mainstream smart person concept.

00:23:06.000 Data point just dropped.

00:23:08.000 Oh my, true that.

00:23:09.000 All right.

00:23:11.000 Joe Biden is in Europe making gaffe after gaffe, implying that US troops would be in Ukraine.

00:23:17.000 The White House thing goes, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:23:19.000 then saying if Putin uses chemical weapons we respond in kind no no no no no no no no

00:23:23.000 then he says we need regime change you know what i'll take it and then they're like

00:23:27.000 CNN then comes out this time at the White House oh it's because he's Irish and he's internalizing 0.97

00:23:32.000 the suffering of the Ukrainian people he's like his sweet little Irish feelings were too

00:23:36.000 overwhelming to him he's not in control of himself is this like a point no no for real

00:23:40.000 i got a serious question though is is are they making some kind of point about Ukraine being

00:23:45.000 like Northern Ireland like Like the Donbass region is Northern Ireland and Russia is like the UK.

00:23:49.000 You know what I mean? 1.00

00:23:50.000 I think they're just calling Irish people stupid. 1.00

00:23:52.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:23:52.000 I'm pretty sure that's what's happening here. 1.00

00:23:54.000 They're like, look, Joe Biden, Joe Biden doesn't have dementia.

00:23:57.000 He's Irish.

00:23:58.000 That's what's happening right now.

00:23:59.000 Do you understand?

00:24:00.000 Shame is he's trying so hard to be a victim.

00:24:03.000 I know.

00:24:03.000 Well, look, this guy is giving me victim points.

00:24:06.000 He's saying that Irish people are more likely to internalize other people's suffering.

00:24:10.000 Yeah.

00:24:10.000 I mean, it makes it sound like very nice and empathetic.

00:24:12.000 I get that, but it's a little bit offensive.

00:24:16.000 Oh, by the way, I'm trying to make myself a victim.

00:24:18.000 Tim, every single time you say something insulting about the Irish people, you pull the Irish card out and say, oh, I'm part Irish too.

00:24:24.000 So really, Tim, you're being insulted as well.

00:24:26.000 What am I?

00:24:27.000 I think I'm like a third Irish or something.

00:24:29.000 I'm German, so, you know.

00:24:31.000 No empathy there.

00:24:32.000 Yeah, no empathy for me.

00:24:34.000 No empathy for me.

00:24:35.000 I am German, Irish, and Korean, and there's like a little bit of a bunch of stuff.

00:24:40.000 My last name is Dutch, I guess.

00:24:41.000 Quite the blend.

00:24:42.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:24:43.000 I'm wondering, do the Germans and the Irish team up for something?

00:24:46.000 Because German-Irish tends to be a common thing.

00:24:47.000 I'm very German.

00:24:48.000 I mean, we both drink.

00:24:49.000 Yeah, no German. 1.00

00:24:50.000 German-Irish is actually a pretty common mix.

00:24:52.000 Yeah, pretty common mix.

00:24:53.000 German people and Irish people were like, yeah.

00:24:55.000 I think those were just like the poor immigrants at the turn of the century. 1.00

00:24:59.000 Yeah, that sounds right.

00:25:00.000 In the 1900s, late 1800s, it was the Irish and the Germans and they hung out.

00:25:04.000 But no, I do think there's something to this theory.

00:25:07.000 Do you guys remember Biden's whole pot of gold gaffe?

00:25:11.000 Of course, we're gonna be able to pay off the national debt!

00:25:13.000 We've got three pots of gold at the other end of the rainbow!

00:25:15.000 His economic plan to follow rainbows until we could get the gold at the end of them, do you guys not recall?

00:25:21.000 Is that the Build Back Better plan?

00:25:26.000 Yes, exactly!

00:25:27.000 In all seriousness though, there was that one moment where he was chasing after all those little kids because he sniffs them.

00:25:34.000 They said they're after me, Lucky Charms!

00:25:37.000 I actually wasn't going for that joke.

00:25:38.000 I was going for the Biden sniffs little kid's joke.

00:25:41.000 It's not a joke.

00:25:42.000 It's a real problem that should not be tolerated.

00:25:45.000 I'll leave it alone in a second because I know we've really harped on this, but I just got to say, is it that hard to admit the man's experiencing cognitive decline?

00:25:52.000 He makes a gaffe because he always makes gaffes and they're like, you know what?

00:25:55.000 The guy's Irish.

00:25:57.000 Or is it the... Leon Panetta's like...

00:26:01.000 Biden gaffes and they're just looking in the hat of random defenses of Biden and there's like one

00:26:07.000 laugh that says Irish on it. He's like, uh, Biden gaffed because he's Irish. Well, I think it's

00:26:12.000 important to remember that Obama's former Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates said, quote,

00:26:17.000 Biden's been wrong in every foreign policy decision in his entire career. And so...

00:26:22.000 And so there's no excuses for it. 0.99

00:26:23.000 The guy just sucks at his job. 0.97

00:26:24.000 He's been in office for 50 years and he's been wrong on everything. 0.99

00:26:28.000 And so nobody has confidence in his ability to get us through this.

00:26:31.000 I gotta push back on that, man.

00:26:33.000 That is unfair.

00:26:35.000 Biden has not been wrong on every foreign policy decision.

00:26:38.000 He's made incredibly successful decisions as it pertains to foreign policy for his family.

00:26:44.000 Oh, yeah.

00:26:44.000 You know, the contract his brother got.

00:26:45.000 I was gonna say, like, arming the Irish rebels. 0.70

00:26:48.000 Frank Biden.

00:26:49.000 Yeah, the jobs that his kid got.

00:26:53.000 I think you're looking in the wrong place.

00:26:54.000 You're right.

00:26:55.000 So we can say that Joe Biden has failed the American people in terms of foreign policy, but the Joe Biden personal family foreign policy is quite successful.

00:27:03.000 I mean, to be honest, though, I could not believe it when he armed the IRA.

00:27:08.000 I thought that was a push too far.

00:27:11.000 It was very shocking.

00:27:12.000 It's funny, but that sounds like something that could be true, because he's been in office for so long.

00:27:17.000 Like, actually, in the late 80s, early 90s, Biden signed this bill stating, come on, man, we're going to give guns to the IRA, man.

00:27:26.000 Get rid of the Brits. 1.00

00:27:28.000 I've got a brand new shiny helmet and a pair of kinky boots, man.

00:27:31.000 But I don't remember the last presidential election where foreign policy wasn't really at the forefront.

00:27:35.000 Yeah.

00:27:36.000 And because of President Trump's success for four years, we had peace all across the board, peace in the Middle East, peace in Korea.

00:27:43.000 Russia was at bay.

00:27:44.000 China was obviously doing what they do to unleash the virus onto the world. 0.99

00:27:48.000 But the foreign policy aspect wasn't really a conversation during the 2020 debate when it was at the forefront of the 2016 one about who's going to destroy ISIS.

00:27:56.000 And everybody thought that Trump was going to be the one that actually did it, and he succeeded.

00:28:00.000 But this is, foreign policy was a negligent issue in the 2020 debate, and if you could have played that clip of Robert Gates saying that he's been wrong on every foreign policy decision and there's actually foreign policy conflicts, I think that would have had a drastic impact. 0.97

00:28:14.000 But we're seeing the genius at work here, and what happened in Afghanistan, what's happened in Ukraine, China's going to move on Taiwan, it's going to be nasty, and we got this blabbering fool in the office, and Hunter Biden's secure in the bag.

00:28:27.000 They suspended the gas tax in Maryland.

00:28:30.000 So a bunch of people, I've talked to people out here in Maryland, and they're like, they're like, no, gas prices went down, things got better.

00:28:36.000 And I was like, yeah, they suspended the gas tax, like gas prices aren't going down.

00:28:40.000 The government just backed off because they're scared about what's happening.

00:28:43.000 And they went, oh, like, yeah, because in West Virginia, it's still over $4.

00:28:47.000 Yep.

00:28:48.000 And in DC.

00:28:49.000 But don't worry, Biden brought in the TikTokers to make TikToks calling it the Putin gas hike or gas price hike. 0.99

00:28:57.000 So it's I'm Putin, he says.

00:28:59.000 And they all come in like good little sheep and then they spit it out to their audiences.

00:29:03.000 And it's really sad how quick this misinformation can spread.

00:29:07.000 You can't blame Putin.

00:29:08.000 I mean, he's Russian, right?

00:29:09.000 All right.

00:29:10.000 My friends, you all saw the State of the Union, I assume, because we were here and we were drinking and Lauren Southern was drunk.

00:29:15.000 and she yelled and called Biden based because he said we got to secure the border. That's true.

00:29:19.000 So the reason I bring that up in the context of this story about Biden's new billionaires tax

00:29:23.000 is that Joe Biden during the State of the Union says he's a capitalist, secure our borders,

00:29:28.000 build, make America, you know, build American. Now, Always.

00:29:34.000 that's long past, he comes out with this far left 20% minimum tax on households worth more than $100

00:29:40.000 million. This is a Trojan horse, mark my words. Regular people are going to be like, why do I

00:29:46.000 care? I don't make $100 million. Two things, they will lower the threshold like they did with the

00:29:50.000 income tax initially. The initial income tax was like 3% only for the ultra wealthy, right?

00:29:55.000 And then of course they just move it down, move it down, move it down. But this is also

00:29:59.000 Joe Biden desperately pandering to the far left after calling himself a capitalist.

00:30:02.000 He's like, I wonder if they're doing a media strategy of, okay, State of the Union was this big TV thing that old

00:30:09.000 people watch.

00:30:10.000 Say what the old people want to hear. 1.00

00:30:11.000 Now, internet medium put out a statement that's what the left wants to hear, the progressives.

00:30:16.000 So he's going to tax the rich.

00:30:18.000 They say 20% minimum tax on unrealized gains.

00:30:22.000 So Elon Musk, this is the craziest thing.

00:30:25.000 It's basically like if you buy, check this out, used cars have gone up in value like crazy because of the chip shortage.

00:30:33.000 Let's say this tax was a general tax on everybody, unrealized gains tax.

00:30:38.000 You buy a used car for two grand, but then the chip shortage hits.

00:30:42.000 And now the value of used cars in all government metrics is up 100%.

00:30:46.000 Your $2,000 car is now $4,000.

00:30:48.000 The government goes, you got $2,000 unrealized gain right there.

00:30:51.000 And you say, well, I don't have any money.

00:30:53.000 I just have my used car.

00:30:55.000 And they say, then you got to sell the car.

00:30:56.000 Yep.

00:30:57.000 To pay the tax.

00:30:58.000 You say, but if I sell the car, then I won't be able to work.

00:31:01.000 And they're like, then you're going to be in trouble for not paying your taxes.

00:31:05.000 So you sell the car.

00:31:06.000 Guess what?

00:31:07.000 You could only get a couple of grand for the car.

00:31:08.000 And they say, now you owe us taxes on the income you got from that two grand.

00:31:12.000 Uh-huh.

00:31:12.000 And you're like, so I got to pay the tax on the unrealized gain, but then I sold the car and I got to pay taxes on the

00:31:16.000 income.

00:31:16.000 Right now it's a hundred million dollars, but rest assured you give them the ability to tax unrealized gains.

00:31:23.000 Two things are going to happen.

00:31:24.000 One, they'll lower the threshold.

00:31:25.000 And the second is inflation will push you up further and further to that threshold.

00:31:28.000 Yeah, no, it's true.

00:31:29.000 This is one of the most insane economic policies that he could try to implement right now.

00:31:33.000 First of all, we're not in a place where you can really talk about introducing these, like, radical new measures to socialize the economy. 0.75

00:31:40.000 First of all, we're not really in a healthy place to look at these sort of more social justice-y, far-left pandering options for policy and try to implement them is ridiculous.

00:31:50.000 But also, what this effectively does, Tim, you know, you're using the example of a used car.

00:31:55.000 It would force people who are successfully running businesses to the point of making them profitable to sell off their shares.

00:32:00.000 So basically somebody who is moving a company in the direction of making it more profitable is forced to give up control of their company so they can pay the tax on unrealized gains.

00:32:10.000 And what an unrealized gain is, by the way, is money you literally have not made.

00:32:15.000 It's completely theoretical.

00:32:16.000 The government is taxing something you don't have.

00:32:19.000 Yeah.

00:32:20.000 And they could theoretically just be like, Hey Seamus, that shirt?

00:32:22.000 A million bucks.

00:32:24.000 Yeah, I mean, exactly.

00:32:25.000 How do you assess the value of something like that?

00:32:27.000 I mean, Hunter Biden's art assessor is going to assess the value of all this stuff.

00:32:33.000 That's a big trick too.

00:32:34.000 People don't understand that you're going to all of a sudden see billionaires being like, that Rembrandt painting?

00:32:39.000 Unfortunately, nobody wants to buy it anymore because of the tax.

00:32:42.000 So it's only worth a thousand dollars.

00:32:44.000 I actually lost that money.

00:32:46.000 Can you write off the unrealized losses?

00:32:47.000 Yeah, well I'll give this regime some credit for recognizing the moment that we're in.

00:32:53.000 I think now more than ever there's an appetite on both sides of the political aisle to kind of stick it to some of these billionaires and on the right they're sick of the woke billionaires who fund all these you know, these non-profits, the Arabellums that help fortify

00:33:07.000 elections against us. And so there's an appetite to take it to the billionaire class that our

00:33:12.000 people, the Trump base, I mean, we're working class folks. And so the billionaires don't have the

00:33:18.000 same luster and we don't have the same party anymore. And so there is an appetite there, I think,

00:33:23.000 to get some on the more populist right, to jump on board with something on this nature.

00:33:27.000 But, Tim, you bring up a good point where they're not going to stop there.

00:33:30.000 If we give the government an inch, they're going to take it down to, you know, the half a millionaires.

00:33:36.000 Eventually, anybody that makes under 100 grand will be impacted by it.

00:33:39.000 Or in 50 years, when inflation is really, really bad.

00:33:42.000 And let's say a dollar is now a dime.

00:33:44.000 So you're spending 10 bucks on a candy bar.

00:33:46.000 You're spending $100, you know, on a couple movie tickets or whatever.

00:33:51.000 They also, you know, lowering the threshold and inflation is going to get you closer and closer to that limit.

00:33:56.000 Well, I think that the billionaires should wake the hell up, though, especially, you know, the ones that help fund these woke institutions and the woke organizations to, you know, eat their ESG scores higher, because they're losing the people that, you know, historically defended them.

00:34:11.000 They're losing, they're pissing off a lot of Republican voters who've always been against the increase of taxes.

00:34:16.000 They've been against the, you know, the punishing the wealthy.

00:34:19.000 But when you're using your wealth to fund organizations that hate our country, it kind of pisses off some people and they see stuff like that and they're like, eh, well right now it's only for the billionaires so maybe I'll support that.

00:34:31.000 But you know what?

00:34:32.000 I think a lot of the billionaires know that ultimately this tax is going to disproportionately affect wealthy people who aren't lucky enough to be in the exact bracket that billionaires are in and therefore will have a more difficult time avoiding the increased taxes on their net worth.

00:34:45.000 I'm sure they'll find all sorts of workarounds and loopholes so that they don't end up having to pay and it will actually make business more difficult for their competition.

00:34:52.000 This is probably good for them.

00:34:55.000 Take a look at like the progressive tax brackets.

00:34:57.000 What's the highest bracket?

00:34:58.000 Is it 250 and up or is it like 500 and up?

00:34:59.000 I need to double check.

00:35:00.000 I think someone changed it.

00:35:01.000 I can pull this up.

00:35:01.000 It's like 250 and up.

00:35:04.000 So imagine this.

00:35:05.000 It's like 37.5%.

00:35:06.000 Imagine you're a middle class, you know, working class person and you hit it big somehow. 0.97

00:35:13.000 And now all of a sudden you're making $400,000 a year, which is a lot of money.

00:35:17.000 You're paying a very high tax rate on everything above 250, which is substantial.

00:35:23.000 It's you know, what is it like 40 was it 38 to 40 some percent?

00:35:26.000 Yeah, like 38 38.

00:35:29.000 If you're if you're worth if you're making 10 million dollars a year as like the CEO of a company and you're

00:35:35.000 paying that percentage, everything after 250 is effectively disposable income for you to invest any way you see fit.

00:35:42.000 If you're making $250,000 to $400,000, you're like, this is my chance to grow and become a wealthy American, but they're pulling you down.

00:35:50.000 So, the simplest way to explain it is, if you only need, in the United States right now, $150K a year to be considered middle-class median, and that's because of inflation.

00:35:58.000 It used to be $77,000, then $80,000, and who knows where it's at now.

00:36:02.000 Once you hit that threshold, you're getting a savings, you're building a little bit of wealth, but you're not on track for independent wealth, where you can just dump money into a bunch of funds and then make interest and things like that.

00:36:12.000 You make $10 million, Who cares?

00:36:14.000 Look, I got my $2.50 a year to fund my lifestyle, and then I've got an extra, you know, $9.75 million.

00:36:20.000 Oh, I gotta pay 38%?

00:36:22.000 I still got $5 million where I can spend that on anything I want and generate massive amounts of wealth.

00:36:28.000 The richer you get, the less that impacts you.

00:36:32.000 So, long story short of it is, these taxes Stop people from becoming wealthy now you tell that to the

00:36:38.000 left you explain it and they say good And I'm like no you don't understand it means the billionaires

00:36:43.000 will stay billionaires forever And they'll become oligarchs and then no one can rise up

00:36:47.000 and displace them and challenge their power. Yeah, exactly Exactly.

00:36:51.000 And so another thing that he's failing to take into account here, and of course he is because he's on the left, is a concept known as the Laffer Curve.

00:36:58.000 So I've talked about this on your show before.

00:37:00.000 And there are some less educated lefties who will say the Laffer Curve doesn't exist.

00:37:04.000 It does.

00:37:05.000 Every left-wing economist agrees it exists.

00:37:07.000 The only debate is whether the parabola peaks at a higher tax rate or a lower tax rate.

00:37:11.000 Can you explain the curve?

00:37:13.000 Yeah, sure.

00:37:13.000 So, if you tax at 0%, your revenue will be 0.

00:37:18.000 And if you tax at 100%, your revenue will also be 0, because no one's going to work for money that they can't keep.

00:37:24.000 So, that means that somewhere between 0% and 100% is the revenue-maximizing tax rate, at which point you can reach it, and then if you tax any further, you're actually going to generate less revenue.

00:37:38.000 And so interestingly, federal revenues for the United States as a whole have basically stayed around 20% regardless of what the tax rate has been, which suggests that's probably the largest share of GDP that they're able to pull.

00:37:53.000 And when I said 22%, I'm speaking as a share of GDP.

00:37:55.000 So that's probably the largest share of GDP they'll be able to pull out of the economy.

00:37:58.000 So all they're going to be doing with something like this, if it even is effective at getting these people to sell off their wealth, because again, who knows?

00:38:05.000 Many of them are going to be able to circumvent it.

00:38:07.000 But let's say it has its, you know, quote unquote, intended effect in that way.

00:38:13.000 It's probably not going to increase revenue.

00:38:15.000 I would argue that it wouldn't increase revenue because the Trump tax cuts actually led to an increase in revenue.

00:38:20.000 The left continually claims that it didn't.

00:38:22.000 And Biden talks about this, you know, quote unquote, fiscal mess that Trump left him.

00:38:25.000 But that's complete nonsense.

00:38:27.000 Federal revenues increased, but our spending growth outpaced the increase in federal revenues, so we ended up with more of a deficit after the Trump tax cuts than we had prior, but that was because of an increase in spending, not a deficit in the amount that we were bringing in.

00:38:42.000 Why don't we just print more money, bro?

00:38:45.000 Yeah, no, let's just do that.

00:38:47.000 That's worked fantastically for us.

00:38:49.000 They're just slapping Band-Aids on Band-Aids.

00:38:51.000 Why don't we start another trillion dollar war? 0.99

00:38:53.000 Like, multi-trillion dollar war.

00:38:54.000 Let's go out and get a ground war with Russia like Adam Kinzinger and Lindsey Graham won, and get some more money.

00:39:01.000 That seems like the direction things are going.

00:39:03.000 I think a majority, what is it, a majority of Americans fear the U.S.

00:39:07.000 will get involved in a ground war with Russia. 0.94

00:39:09.000 It's terrifying, especially I couldn't think about the parents who, you know, have children who are active duty and they all watch what the hell happened in Afghanistan and thinking about the degenerates and the morons who are in charge right now are going to be in charge of the military, you know, the operation on the ground there. 0.94

00:39:27.000 There's not a whole lot of confidence in their ability to get the job done. 0.90

00:39:30.000 And so praying that we can deescalate and get peace.

00:39:32.000 But, you know, it's just a mess.

00:39:35.000 Let's talk about peace here at home.

00:39:37.000 Well, can I mention one more thing?

00:39:39.000 So you discussed, you brought up Biden bingo, which we played during the State of the Union address.

00:39:44.000 And I want to mention that that headline starts with Biden whispers that it's not right, which was on the bingo card that we had for Biden's State of the Union bingo.

00:39:53.000 He likes to whisper.

00:39:54.000 Daily Mail has some great headlines.

00:39:57.000 Let's talk about peace here at home, though.

00:39:59.000 We have this story.

00:39:59.000 Ladies and gentlemen, Florida's DeSantis has signed the Parental Rights and Education Bill.

00:40:04.000 Hits back at Hollywood critics.

00:40:05.000 Democrats misleadingly attacked Florida legislation as a don't-say-gay bill.

00:40:10.000 I like that Fox News subhead accurately points out that they've been lying the whole time about what this bill does.

00:40:15.000 Now, my understanding is the initial inception of it was more so targeting, you know, don't teach about gender identity or whatever.

00:40:23.000 After several amendments, they came to, okay, how about we just say, pre-K, you know, preschool to third grade, we don't want you teaching identity and orientation stuff to children, to these four to nine-year-olds.

00:40:37.000 After that, it's fine, just keep it age appropriate.

00:40:39.000 And for those four-year-olds, As long as you talk to them in a semi-private setting, totally okay.

00:40:45.000 Did you know that?

00:40:47.000 In Florida, this bill that was passed by Republicans will still allow a teacher to go up to a four-year-old in a semi-private setting.

00:40:55.000 Meaning, if they're in a classroom and there's a bunch of kids running around, and they're playing, a teacher can get up and walk over to a group of kids and say, do you want to learn about being trans?

00:41:05.000 Oh my god.

00:41:05.000 The bill does not ban that.

00:41:07.000 And so that's what they've been claiming, and it's just not true.

00:41:09.000 Well, maybe we'll make some calls into the Florida legislature.

00:41:12.000 Yeah, I mean, again, we were talking about it being an anti-grooming bill, but it doesn't go nearly far enough to even be called that.

00:41:17.000 Yeah, I call it the don't-say-straight bill.

00:41:21.000 Because the teachers also can't talk to these kids about straight, traditional marriage. 0.91

00:41:24.000 So, I gotta be honest, the biggest pet peeve I have with this whole outrage is that when I was in high school, just like six years ago, if I said gay in any situation, I'd get detention.

00:41:34.000 They'd be like, Alex, you can't say gay.

00:41:36.000 And I tweet gay and now, you know, congressmen who hate me, they find screenshots of my tweets from when I was 14 and I say the word gay and they're like, he's a homophobe. 1.00

00:41:45.000 See, you used to get in trouble if you said the word gay, and now you see these idiots running through the halls of the school yelling gay and getting no pink slips, no detention. 0.99

00:41:53.000 That's the bone I got to pick with this bill primarily. 1.00

00:41:57.000 It's just, I grew up in the wrong times.

00:42:00.000 Have you seen the meme where it's all the Disney, all the stories about Disney workers being arrested for child exploitation?

00:42:05.000 Oh, absolutely.

00:42:06.000 There's a great sheriff in that region of Florida named Gary Judd.

00:42:11.000 Sheriff Judd.

00:42:12.000 He's phenomenal, and I think he busted like 17 Disney workers for pedophilia and trafficking kids. 0.88

00:42:19.000 It's sick. 0.88

00:42:20.000 And also, Disney's so outraged about banning sex ed from young kids like this.

00:42:27.000 I can guarantee when I have children, they will never watch Disney. 0.99

00:42:29.000 What kind of subliminal messaging and crap do they put in there? 0.99

00:42:32.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa. 0.99

00:42:34.000 You don't know the urban legends about Disney and their subliminal sex?

00:42:38.000 Oh, yeah.

00:42:38.000 Have you seen that clip from The Lion King?

00:42:40.000 Oh, yeah.

00:42:41.000 Which one is that one?

00:42:41.000 All good girls take off their clothes?

00:42:44.000 Oh, that was Aladdin.

00:42:45.000 Right, that was Aladdin.

00:42:47.000 In Lion King, when Simba falls down onto the flowers, the pollen flies up into the air and it spells the word sex.

00:42:55.000 And Disney claimed, no, no, no, no.

00:42:57.000 It said SFX.

00:42:59.000 We were excited about our new sound effects package.

00:43:01.000 I'm not kidding.

00:43:01.000 We were excited about our new sound effects package, so we wrote SFX.

00:43:06.000 I'm sure we can get like a higher def image or whatever, but that's weird.

00:43:09.000 There's also on the cover of the Little Mermaid, Oh yeah.

00:43:13.000 On the cover is a large cylindrical, you know.

00:43:18.000 It's mental. 0.97

00:43:18.000 It's a mental illness that they want to teach their kids, these kids about sex and they need to be held accountable for that. 0.97

00:43:23.000 And I think DeSantis should reconsider the bill and make it even tougher out of this backlash.

00:43:28.000 And also consider revoking some teaching license from these teachers who are so enraged by it.

00:43:34.000 And who wants to push their sexuality on these kids? 1.00

00:43:37.000 Yeah, perverts. 0.99

00:43:37.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:43:38.000 Sick perverts. 1.00

00:43:39.000 And the only people who won't stand up against this are either really sick perverts or they're complete cowards because the responsibility of adults is to protect children. 1.00

00:43:48.000 And as it happens, we live in a culture where people are so fundamentally either depraved or terrified and completely weak that they would rather allow children to be groomed than be called homophobic or some other word that everyone's too terrified to be labeled with to actually stand up and protect children against disgusting predators. 0.98

00:44:06.000 This one might be just, you know, people wishful thinking.

00:44:12.000 I don't know about wishful thinking, but like looking for something and then telling everyone it's true.

00:44:16.000 So but let's see what Snopes has to say about this Disney thing, right?

00:44:20.000 Was a phallus purposefully added to the artwork of the Little Mermaid from 1998?

00:44:26.000 False.

00:44:28.000 And you can see it's just a golden tower of various, you know, sizes.

00:44:33.000 And then what do we have it here?

00:44:35.000 Where did it go?

00:44:36.000 There you go.

00:44:37.000 It's just, it's just a golden castle, palace, tower.

00:44:41.000 And everybody I know would always point this out and be like, Hey, look what they put on the cover.

00:44:46.000 You also have, um, what was it?

00:44:48.000 It was Aladdin, right?

00:44:49.000 Uh, when, when he was talking to, uh, Aladdin was talking to Jasmine.

00:44:54.000 Do you know this one?

00:44:55.000 It sounds like, yeah, I remember the clip.

00:44:57.000 And then also in The Rescuers, there was an example.

00:44:59.000 I can't remember if it was The Rescuers or The Rescuers Down Under, but as they fly past the series of buildings, there's actually a pornographic image that's placed inside one of the windows.

00:45:08.000 That's our camera for a fraction of a second, but it is there.

00:45:11.000 Here's Snopes again.

00:45:12.000 Did Aladdin ask teenagers to take off their clothes?

00:45:15.000 False!

00:45:16.000 Aw, it's false.

00:45:17.000 Oh, Snopes says it.

00:45:18.000 Good teenagers take off your clothes.

00:45:20.000 In Aladdin, he whispers it.

00:45:22.000 So let's see, can we play it?

00:45:23.000 Are we gonna get you to- Down, kiddo.

00:45:25.000 Good teenagers take off your clothes.

00:45:32.000 They didn't even play it.

00:45:36.000 They did, they thought you had to slow it down.

00:45:39.000 Oh, he's saying, come on good kitty, take off and go.

00:45:43.000 Sure.

00:45:43.000 Okay.

00:45:45.000 I don't know, man.

00:45:46.000 Like, maybe the Lion King one is like, they really wanted it to say SFX, but like, maybe.

00:45:55.000 Why even have it say anything?

00:45:57.000 Right, I know.

00:45:59.000 But so anyway, I bring up the Disney thing because it makes sense.

00:46:02.000 If these predators want to go to these Disney parks where there's kids everywhere, they're getting caught.

00:46:07.000 What's fascinating to me is maybe it's just coincidence that Florida says, hey, we don't want you talking to kids about this stuff, whether it's straight or gay or otherwise.

00:46:16.000 And then they're like, oh, oh, harumph!

00:46:18.000 I say, how dare do you tell us we can't say gay? 0.59

00:46:21.000 And then they go around running through the hallways. 0.99

00:46:23.000 And then it's like, also, there's a ton of predators down there at Disney.

00:46:26.000 You know, it's like, is that a coincidence?

00:46:27.000 No.

00:46:28.000 Yeah, well, I mean, we talked about this a few shows ago, but Brian Peck was hired to be a consultant on a Disney film after, or on a Disney project after being found guilty of sexually abusing a child.

00:46:41.000 Oh, man.

00:46:41.000 Yeah, there's some really demented people out there and the outrage to this bill, and I'm glad that you brought that point up about how it doesn't go far enough.

00:46:50.000 And if I know anything about Ron DeSantis, he's going to want to make sure it's even tougher.

00:46:54.000 And he's not going to cower to this outrage.

00:46:56.000 He's going to, in fact, probably double down.

00:47:01.000 I mean, the challenge is, Republicans are consistently reasonable.

00:47:05.000 The Democrats accuse them of being vicious authoritarians, and look what they do.

00:47:09.000 They're like, you can still teach kids about this stuff, just not as a classroom discussion.

00:47:12.000 And, you know, it's like, why are you giving leeway?

00:47:17.000 There's no room to negotiate on this one.

00:47:19.000 These are children.

00:47:21.000 They shouldn't even be allowed to have a conversation, period.

00:47:25.000 Because this whole idea that you can change your gender, that should not be a conversation that we ever normalize nor accept. 0.97

00:47:32.000 And so the idea that some unqualified teacher who's a creep is going to have this conversation with their child, you can't let that happen.

00:47:38.000 And so we can't be reasonable.

00:47:41.000 No leeway on this.

00:47:42.000 I keep hearing from parents who say, I can't speak up because I'd lose my job.

00:47:46.000 And I'm just kind of like, it's kind of a scary prospect that you're more concerned about your job than who your kid is around for eight hours every day.

00:47:56.000 Absolutely.

00:47:56.000 There's another job out there and you don't have that many kids.

00:48:00.000 Maybe you do. 0.51

00:48:01.000 Imagine being willing to work for the kind of employer who would fire you because you are against sexual perverts trying to groom your child and you're vocal about that.

00:48:09.000 Yeah.

00:48:11.000 I think people need to hear you can succeed.

00:48:14.000 I think people need to hear that there are other jobs out there.

00:48:19.000 What's that website for anti-woke people?

00:48:21.000 Square something?

00:48:23.000 I don't know.

00:48:23.000 Is that what it was?

00:48:24.000 Square is a payment processing company.

00:48:27.000 Square is a payment processing company.

00:48:29.000 But there's another website you go to and it's job listings for people who aren't woke.

00:48:34.000 Well, God bless them.

00:48:34.000 You've got to find that out and you've got to promote the hell out of them.

00:48:37.000 I'm going to promote them.

00:48:38.000 I mean, people need to have the courage to, you know, stand up and say this stuff's enough.

00:48:44.000 Well, people, yeah.

00:48:44.000 People need a fire.

00:48:46.000 And look, I was in high school when gay marriage was legalized, you know, the Supreme Court ruling.

00:48:52.000 And I used to be like, what's even the fight about gay marriage?

00:48:57.000 You know, the conservatives on their talk radio would be like, well, if we normalize this, what else are we forced to normalize?

00:49:02.000 I'm like, oh, they're just big heads or whatever.

00:49:04.000 And then five years later, six years later, somebody who was a woman for four days who gets named Sports Illustrated Woman of the Year, Caitlyn Jenner.

00:49:13.000 And now we're in this next phase of the transition into normalizing stuff. 0.98

00:49:18.000 But the grooming crap. 0.98

00:49:20.000 It's because there's no end, right? 0.99

00:49:22.000 They say the ends justify the means, but there is no end.

00:49:24.000 Meaning no matter where you are, you're always moving in one direction.

00:49:27.000 The issue is, for me, it's not gay marriage or a slippery slope fallacy.

00:49:32.000 I think two consenting adults is not the issue.

00:49:35.000 Obviously, there's a lot of traditional conservatives who have an issue with that.

00:49:37.000 I disagree.

00:49:38.000 The issue is children who can't consent.

00:49:41.000 That's always been the point.

00:49:44.000 Adults can consent because they can go and do their thing.

00:49:48.000 Children cannot.

00:49:50.000 I look at this like there needs to be a hard line.

00:49:54.000 I don't need to come out and be like, what's next?

00:49:56.000 You know, dogs and cats, you know, living together or whatever.

00:49:59.000 No, no, no.

00:50:00.000 I just be like, yeah, I don't care about consenting adults.

00:50:02.000 I care about this.

00:50:02.000 Hard line.

00:50:03.000 Stop.

00:50:03.000 Done.

00:50:03.000 Have a nice day.

00:50:04.000 Yeah.

00:50:04.000 You know, who's phenomenal on this?

00:50:07.000 It's an open secret.

00:50:08.000 That Twitter account, I think, is open.

00:50:10.000 And I've gotten to know the folks behind that pretty well.

00:50:13.000 And they say we got to stop using the term child porn because porn's a consenting term and children can't consent. 0.76

00:50:19.000 It's child rape and torture material.

00:50:22.000 And so I try not to use the term child porn in my rhetoric because you can't, when you're a child, you can't consent.

00:50:28.000 And and children can never can can say we can never normalize that and so we have to you're right

00:50:33.000 You do have to stand up for the kids And the parents need to wake the hell up

00:50:37.000 And and and they need to be vocal. They need to be the ones that stop this

00:50:41.000 Yeah I want to make another point here

00:50:43.000 Piggybacking off of what you just said about all the arguments that were made by

00:50:46.000 Conservatives about gay marriage just a few years ago and where we are in relation to those

00:50:50.000 It's not just the case that basically every prediction made by the Christian right about what would happen in America

00:50:56.000 after gay rights were legalized and gay rights were normalized happened.

00:51:00.000 It's that like the most cartoonist Strawman version of their argument that a left-winger would have come up with ten years ago Has turned out to be what's actually like child drag shows.

00:51:11.000 Yes, exactly like child drag shows and also left-wingers like Pink News thinking that it is bad press for the Republican Party for them to go out there and go, did you know that the Republicans are going to try to ban child drag shows if they get elected?

00:51:23.000 And expecting people to look at that and go, oh wow, well I'd better not vote.

00:51:28.000 It's so weird.

00:51:30.000 What a great advertisement for the Republicans.

00:51:31.000 It's just become bizarre.

00:51:33.000 And look, I still believe that I'm okay with gay marriage, personally.

00:51:37.000 Okay, whatever.

00:51:41.000 The stuff that's come after it, it's been messed up.

00:51:47.000 The trans rights has been such a weird issue. 1.00

00:51:50.000 And I think Dave Chappelle kind of lays it out nicely.

00:51:54.000 He's like, you guys need to disown these other people.

00:51:57.000 You need to disown the T pluses.

00:51:59.000 This is the problem.

00:52:01.000 There are people like, I think Caitlyn Jenner has been great speaking up in defense of women's sports.

00:52:08.000 People like Blair White I think are fantastic.

00:52:10.000 There's a science researcher, a trans woman, who's talked about male advantages in sports.

00:52:15.000 I think, you know, look, people want to live their lives the way they want to live.

00:52:18.000 I'm very civil libertarian libertarian.

00:52:20.000 The issue is there are bad people who are trying to cover up what they're doing by hiding within the LGBT community.

00:52:29.000 And the challenge is, when you call out these bad people, they will use that and say, ah, so you're attacking trans people.

00:52:35.000 And it's like, no, no, no, no, that is a person preying on little girls, going into the girls' bathroom, taking pictures of them.

00:52:41.000 I got no issue with a trans person.

00:52:43.000 I got issue with the people exploiting it.

00:52:46.000 But you'll get banned.

00:52:48.000 You'll get kicked off the internet. 0.72

00:52:49.000 But I'm glad that people like Blair and Caitlin are speaking out against this, you know, this crap and we need more, hopefully, well, more like them if there are them.

00:52:59.000 But Well, there's just one more thing I want to say here because I hear what you guys are saying. 0.92

00:53:04.000 I don't think we share a perspective here, particularly on gay marriage.

00:53:07.000 I think once a society says that two men can be married and tries to redefine marriage in that way, we've already lost the plot on what gender roles are and so we're open to any and everything happening with the relationship between men and women that doesn't really correspond to reality and what the sexes do and how they're designed to relate to one another.

00:53:25.000 That's a long philosophical, moral, and ethical conversation.

00:53:29.000 I think it's a libertarian, like right now we're seeing like libertarian versus conservative.

00:53:33.000 But let's talk about, speaking of terrible families and abusers, we have a story about Hunter Biden.

00:53:38.000 Oh, you're ready for conspiracy theory, conspiracy theories, huh?

00:53:42.000 That aren't conspiracy theories anymore because we waited a couple months?

00:53:45.000 Not even a couple months, it's been a week!

00:53:49.000 Hunter Biden helped secure funds for a U.S.

00:53:51.000 biolab contractor in Ukraine.

00:53:53.000 Oh my gosh!

00:53:56.000 Russia's assertion that Biden's son Hunter was financing biological laboratories in Ukraine was based on truth.

00:54:00.000 Now hold on there a minute.

00:54:03.000 Bioweapons.

00:54:05.000 I don't know anything about.

00:54:07.000 And that's where the fact-checkers keep coming in.

00:54:09.000 Because instead of saying bio-labs, which we know exist now because Victoria Nuland basically said they do, you say that and the media comes out and says, they talked about bio-weapons labs.

00:54:19.000 Like, no, no, no, no.

00:54:20.000 These are bio-threat reduction labs.

00:54:22.000 The U.S.

00:54:22.000 is trying to stop the threat of biological weapons.

00:54:24.000 And I gotta be honest, it actually makes sense.

00:54:27.000 These programs, the funding, it all makes sense that they're doing research, not on weapons, But they're doing research on pathogens for the sake of being able to identify and protect against, considering they're right next to Russia. 0.71

00:54:40.000 I think that makes sense.

00:54:41.000 You can look at it from a more malicious or nefarious angle and say, no, I don't trust the U.S.

00:54:46.000 They're probably doing this.

00:54:47.000 We still don't have any evidence.

00:54:48.000 Yeah, I guess the question is, what kind of research do we know they're doing there?

00:54:50.000 Is gain-of-function research occurring?

00:54:52.000 But we don't know anything.

00:54:53.000 Right, right, right.

00:54:54.000 Check it out.

00:54:55.000 They say, a trove of emails on Hunter Biden's infamous laptop found that he played a role in helping a California defense contractor analyze killer diseases and bioweapons in Ukraine.

00:55:04.000 Now that is a bold statement.

00:55:07.000 I'm going to push back a little bit and say, based on what I've read from this, I still don't see bioweapons, but far be it for me to call the New York Post, who is NewsGuard certified, wrong.

00:55:18.000 If they're saying the emails show Hunter Biden did this, and there are other outlets reporting the same thing, then I can only say, I don't know, look, fact checkers, take it up with the New York Post.

00:55:27.000 I'm just gonna say, you know what?

00:55:29.000 It must be a conspiracy.

00:55:30.000 It's all fake news.

00:55:31.000 Oh, the New York Post and their conspiracy theories, why would they go and report that?

00:55:35.000 The funny thing is the New York Post reported about Hunter Biden's laptop.

00:55:38.000 What did they say?

00:55:39.000 Russian disinformation.

00:55:40.000 Then we get the Biolab story.

00:55:42.000 What does the media say?

00:55:43.000 Russian disinformation.

00:55:44.000 You give it a week, what do you find?

00:55:45.000 It's all true.

00:55:47.000 As soon as we first heard that phrase, I joked, why would we ever believe these people when they call something Russian disinformation?

00:55:54.000 That's what they call everything that turns out to be true.

00:55:56.000 And also, why would we believe them when they said anything about a biological weapons lab being fake news?

00:56:02.000 But it's both sides of the political aisle now.

00:56:03.000 It's not just the Democrats saying Russian disinformation.

00:56:07.000 For example, just last week, Congressman Dan Crenshaw was on Fox & Friends.

00:56:11.000 And Rachel Campos Duffy was kind of pushing him back saying, hey, some Republicans are concerned about, you know, just jumping on the Ukraine, you know, bandwagon and giving them everything they want because, you know, we're worried about pushing Russia closer to China, whatever.

00:56:24.000 Crenshaw goes, well, we're not funding, you know, when they say you're funding neo-Nazis, that's a lie.

00:56:30.000 It's totally fake news.

00:56:31.000 And then he goes and says the biolabs, when you say the biolabs, you're playing into Putin's hands.

00:56:36.000 You're pushing Russian disinformation.

00:56:37.000 And this is a Republican member of Congress.

00:56:40.000 And obviously this came out two days ago.

00:56:42.000 It's been vindicated.

00:56:44.000 And he has said nothing.

00:56:45.000 These people say nothing.

00:56:46.000 They lie.

00:56:47.000 And then when they get caught lying, they never apologize.

00:56:49.000 They never correct the record.

00:56:51.000 In fact, they double down.

00:56:52.000 And so it's dangerous that we're playing with a nuclear power like this.

00:56:57.000 And I don't know, are these people working to protect the Biden family?

00:57:00.000 Are they not wanting this information to actually become public?

00:57:04.000 But I don't know.

00:57:05.000 The weirdest thing about this.

00:57:06.000 Is that we have confirmation from Victoria Nuland testifying before the Senate there are biological research facilities in Ukraine or bio labs for short.

00:57:16.000 As far as I know, Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker, we're not talking about weapons.

00:57:20.000 Now, truth be told, I haven't heard every single thing Tucker said, but Tulsi, she came out, she's like, I never said weapons.

00:57:24.000 There's biolabs there, and we're like, Russia might get them, it's a bad thing. 1.00

00:57:28.000 Like, what's going on there?

00:57:28.000 We should know.

00:57:29.000 So they always move the word.

00:57:30.000 So after the 2020 election, it went from there's no voter fraud to there's no widespread voter fraud, right?

00:57:35.000 They always move the word.

00:57:36.000 They always try to change the narrative.

00:57:38.000 and they play a narrative game and they can because they have big tech on their side

00:57:42.000 and they have every mainstream media publication on their side and so they can move whatever

00:57:46.000 hell word they want just to say that we're wrong. But I just, I'm just, what's confusing to me is

00:57:51.000 that when you wait a week the story's proven true. So how are there people who still believe this?

00:57:58.000 Like, a story breaks, you gotta go, I'm gonna wait a week.

00:58:01.000 Then you go, oh, that's what happened, huh?

00:58:02.000 But there are people, you know, like Bill Burr, you know, when he was talking to Joe Rogan and said, I just turn the TV on once every two weeks and do what they tell me.

00:58:09.000 Once every two weeks, I turn it on.

00:58:11.000 I do whatever they say.

00:58:12.000 Hey, look at that.

00:58:12.000 He's like, Joe, you're not a doctor.

00:58:14.000 You're only talking about masks.

00:58:16.000 Why did he become Fauci?

00:58:18.000 It's like younger Fauci, you know?

00:58:19.000 What are you talking about over there?

00:58:21.000 Talk about masks!

00:58:22.000 But no, I think that maybe I'm being a little optimistic here, but the number of people believing them are fewer and fewer with each passing day.

00:58:31.000 Let's ramp it up.

00:58:32.000 We got the story from the Wall Street Journal.

00:58:33.000 Prosecutors advanced tax probe of Hunter Biden.

00:58:36.000 Grand jury heard witness in February about past drug use, spending habits of President's son.

00:58:41.000 Let's talk about Ukraine.

00:58:42.000 Hunter Biden was helping secure funding for this contractor.

00:58:45.000 It was reported by several outlets, notably the Daily Mail, that Hunter Biden and Joe Biden shared bank accounts.

00:58:51.000 This was back, I think, in September they reported this.

00:58:53.000 So here you have Joe Biden, whose son is on the board of an energy company where he doesn't have any experience or speak the language.

00:59:00.000 There's concerns about an investigation of the founder of that company, Michael Olszewski, and then there's some requests, you know, some emails go to Hunter about like, we got to deal with this.

00:59:08.000 Then Joe Biden flies out and says, if you don't fire the prosecutor, then you're not getting the billion dollar loan guarantee.

00:59:14.000 Sounds an awful lot like, a lot to me, like Joe Biden uses his son as a proxy for corrupt dealings in these countries.

00:59:22.000 I feel bad for Hunter.

00:59:22.000 And you know what?

00:59:24.000 We keep ragging on Hunter!

00:59:26.000 He's just a fall guy for Biden, right?

00:59:28.000 Joe Biden, it seems like he says to his son, you go work the private company, you get the salary, I can set these deals up because I'm the vice president, we'll share bank accounts, you pay my bills, and we'll have one guy for all of our taxes.

00:59:41.000 That's what they were doing.

00:59:42.000 It's been reported, I should say.

00:59:44.000 The shared bank accounts thing is a unbelievably gigantic red flag to the point where you might be able to call it smoking gun.

00:59:49.000 Don't you still share your bank account with your dad?

00:59:51.000 I don't know.

00:59:52.000 But if I was smoking Parmesan cheese, maybe I would have to.

00:59:55.000 For people at this income level, I don't know how they shared a bank account.

00:59:59.000 Because the taxes must have been a nightmare.

01:00:01.000 How would you prove to the IRS that this purchase is like, oh, well, this one wasn't Joe, this was Hunter.

01:00:06.000 Because people need to understand, you can't just give people money.

01:00:11.000 You cannot do that.

01:00:12.000 You're a wealthy person making $83,000 a month, like Hunter Biden.

01:00:16.000 He cannot just hand 40 grand to his dad.

01:00:20.000 It's not legal.

01:00:21.000 You'd have to do tax filing for like gift taxes and stuff like that.

01:00:24.000 So that's a huge red flag.

01:00:27.000 I mean, I'm just confused by what their system was to be honest.

01:00:30.000 And it's also important to know that it wasn't just Hunter and Beau Biden was also involved in the family corruption and nobody wants to talk about that because obviously, you know, Meat passed away and that's tragic and that's sad.

01:00:42.000 But Beau Biden ran a foundation and it just came out... Sorry.

01:00:48.000 But it just came out in a new report that he was in charge of the foundation.

01:00:54.000 They raised like $4.9 million, only $500,000 of that actually went to operating costs, and the rest of the $4.4, $4.5 million went to paying salaries of board members and lobbyists and consultants.

01:01:08.000 And so it's a whole family corruption. 0.81

01:01:10.000 It's a disgusting family. 0.94

01:01:13.000 Done nothing for our country, but used it to get rich. 0.99

01:01:16.000 Amen.

01:01:16.000 Do I really have to clarify that saying I feel bad for Hunter was a joke?

01:01:20.000 No, I mean, look.

01:01:21.000 Like, pointing out that his dad's corrupt and pushing all this?

01:01:24.000 Like, no, Hunter Biden's a bad guy.

01:01:26.000 To be fair, given the way his dad acts around young children, I am not convinced terrible things didn't happen to Hunter Biden.

01:01:32.000 So I do feel bad for him on that one. 0.96

01:01:34.000 I mean, and he's also a crackhead. 0.93

01:01:37.000 You gotta keep that in mind. 0.99

01:01:39.000 Crackheads make bad decisions. 1.00

01:01:41.000 They sure do.

01:01:42.000 It's true, though. 0.82

01:01:43.000 Look, look, look.

01:01:44.000 And with all due respect to people suffering from addiction who need help, they do make bad decisions, regardless of whether or not you want to have sympathy for them or not.

01:01:51.000 Hunter Biden, man.

01:01:52.000 You know, it's really fascinating that you see these people of great power, but they just can't control themselves.

01:01:57.000 Epstein?

01:01:59.000 Well, I mean, that's why they seek power.

01:02:00.000 People who can't control themselves try to control the entire world to compensate for it. 0.70

01:02:04.000 Unfortunately, I think in politics, I talk about this a lot.

01:02:07.000 You know, I wasn't a perfect grade point average student in high school.

01:02:11.000 You know, I was a high school student. 0.89

01:02:13.000 You yelled gay in high school. 0.98

01:02:14.000 I yelled gay. 0.99

01:02:15.000 I tweeted gay. 0.95

01:02:17.000 I was a rebellious high school student.

01:02:19.000 But I think a lot of the folks that end up getting into Washington, D.C.

01:02:23.000 were the folks that never were really popular in school or never You know, they were really great students.

01:02:30.000 They didn't really have a lot of fun.

01:02:31.000 And for the first time in their lives, they get into power.

01:02:34.000 They feel kind of cool.

01:02:35.000 And then they take off, you know, years and years of misery and anger, and then they do bad things with it.

01:02:41.000 And so, a lot of sick people up in Washington because of that, I believe.

01:02:44.000 Yeah.

01:02:45.000 Well, Joe Biden was actually very popular in high school.

01:02:49.000 He was a very good football player.

01:02:50.000 It led to him getting the nickname Hands.

01:02:52.000 He called him Hands.

01:02:53.000 He's got that nickname.

01:02:54.000 Do you remember?

01:02:55.000 There was this whole story.

01:02:56.000 I think it was like a children's thing, but they said that Joe Biden's nickname in high school was Hands because he was so good at football.

01:03:02.000 He was really good at catching them, something like that.

01:03:04.000 Wow.

01:03:06.000 Well, I also heard that he was very popular with the kids in the pool and he's got hairy legs.

01:03:11.000 I've heard that too.

01:03:13.000 Can you believe that story when he was like, I'd be in the pool and the kids would grab my leg hair?

01:03:16.000 It's like, what are you talking about?

01:03:19.000 81 million people voted for that.

01:03:23.000 Dude, I always tell this story of the people I knew who were like, posting on social media like, I did my part voting for Joe Biden, did you?

01:03:30.000 And I'm like, oh man.

01:03:34.000 If only you watched Truden on a Shabbat of Pressure and Bata Calf Care, maybe, maybe.

01:03:38.000 But these people just, they just...

01:03:40.000 I don't know where they get their information from.

01:03:42.000 Are they watching CNN all day, I guess?

01:03:44.000 Because CNN doesn't have any ratings.

01:03:45.000 No, they get it from Twitter, unfortunately.

01:03:47.000 Most of these people get it from Twitter.

01:03:49.000 And podcasts.

01:03:50.000 And Twitter recognizes that, and that's why they started to break the game.

01:03:53.000 And they promote, you know, it's stuff like, remember when COVID happened?

01:03:57.000 And then they had the trending tab and the news tab, and then they created a whole separate COVID-19 tab.

01:04:02.000 They're basically doing the same thing for Ukraine now.

01:04:04.000 They're just controlling the narrative, they're banking on people not doing their research, and Twitter has become the thought box for almost half the country, if not more now.

01:04:13.000 It's the crazy stuff with Project Veritas, too.

01:04:15.000 Overall, like these investigations and the spying.

01:04:19.000 It's creepy stuff.

01:04:19.000 It is.

01:04:20.000 But let's do something special.

01:04:23.000 Ladies and gentlemen, we have a story to talk about that involves me, and I have to address it.

01:04:28.000 So, good sir, would you like to talk law with us?

01:04:31.000 Sure.

01:04:32.000 We have a lawyer who's coming in right now.

01:04:33.000 We do.

01:04:34.000 That's correct.

01:04:34.000 We got a lawyer.

01:04:35.000 You gonna stick me here?

01:04:36.000 Yeah, have a seat and introduce yourself.

01:04:39.000 Sure.

01:04:40.000 We have a lawyer who... Whoa.

01:04:42.000 Interesting.

01:04:43.000 That was weird.

01:04:44.000 Give me one second.

01:04:44.000 I'm going to look at that camera.

01:04:46.000 Oh, no, no, no.

01:04:46.000 That's fine.

01:04:47.000 Oh, wait.

01:04:47.000 This one's not working?

01:04:48.000 Yeah, something's wrong with it.

01:04:50.000 Oh, okay.

01:04:50.000 Maybe that camera, then.

01:04:51.000 Do you want to turn that one on, then?

01:04:52.000 Oh, sure.

01:04:52.000 Yeah.

01:04:53.000 Let's try a different camera.

01:04:54.000 Weird.

01:04:55.000 It's the powers that be.

01:04:56.000 You're going to have to come over here.

01:04:58.000 Sorry.

01:04:59.000 The powers that be are trying to stop us from talking about this very, very important issue.

01:05:03.000 And hopefully the camera's framed properly.

01:05:04.000 Max headroom over there.

01:05:05.000 I don't know what that was.

01:05:06.000 Max headroom?

01:05:07.000 Yeah, the camera wasn't working.

01:05:08.000 Hello, good sir.

01:05:09.000 Would you like to grab those headphones and introduce yourself?

01:05:12.000 Sure, so my name is... You want to grab the mic?

01:05:14.000 Yeah, right up to the mic.

01:05:15.000 There we go.

01:05:15.000 Gotta go right up to the mic.

01:05:16.000 Perfect.

01:05:17.000 Can you turn the volume up?

01:05:19.000 Yep, yep, we'll get some sound.

01:05:20.000 There we go, there we go.

01:05:21.000 Now we're good to go.

01:05:22.000 Alright.

01:05:23.000 Alright.

01:05:24.000 So, my name is Jeff Clark and I'm the former double assistant attorney general in the Trump administration.

01:05:31.000 I had 1,400 lawyers under me at some point, but in the interest of full disclosure, I am Irish.

01:05:38.000 Oh, no.

01:05:39.000 Well, I know you have a habit of internalizing people's sorrows and difficulties, so just try to be careful.

01:05:45.000 So I'd like to talk to you guys about this story real quick, and then we have a lawyer give us his perspective.

01:05:51.000 Can I just make one point?

01:05:52.000 I want to let the audience know what I referenced earlier.

01:05:53.000 It's from a children's book called Joey, The Story of Joe Biden, where we learned that in high school he was given the nickname Hands, because of how good at football he was.

01:06:00.000 Anyway.

01:06:01.000 All right, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like you to take a look at this.

01:06:04.000 It's timcast.bandcamp.com.

01:06:07.000 For those of you that are familiar, and those of you who aren't, I released a song November 2nd, 2020, called Will of the People.

01:06:13.000 It's actually part of a series.

01:06:15.000 It's a universe where we're actually writing a bunch of different songs that go into this artwork.

01:06:20.000 We've got a studio that's going to be producing the artwork.

01:06:22.000 We've got two sequel songs that are in works.

01:06:25.000 We just released the retro version, the beginning of this month.

01:06:28.000 And you can see here our album art.

01:06:30.000 Shows an orange sky with statues and cables on it, and they're being pulled down.

01:06:35.000 In the beginning of this song, we can see right here what you're seeing right now on the screen, and I'll describe it, is gears, and this is underground.

01:06:44.000 I'll lower the volume and just play the intro for you.

01:06:47.000 Now what you're seeing is the ground level and the base of a statue as the song begins to start to show you as it moves up.

01:06:56.000 You then see the cables at the waist of the statue, under an orange sky, and more shots of the statue with cables wrapped around it.

01:07:09.000 I then want to show you the end of the song, which is kind of a spoiler alert for those who haven't seen this production.

01:07:14.000 But at the end of the song, you then see the resolution, which is the ground-level brown-orange sky, cables wrapped around a statue, and people are pulling the statue down.

01:07:24.000 But when they do, the statues rotate.

01:07:28.000 So, keeping those points in mind, I'll just quickly say, I produced a song that is part of a bigger project we're working on.

01:07:37.000 We've pitched movies, we've talked about graphic novels.

01:07:40.000 We have a whole story arc for the characters in this because we've been trying to build culture.

01:07:44.000 This is our most successful cultural thing we've produced.

01:07:48.000 We have a story.

01:07:49.000 called Will of the People.

01:07:51.000 It is a song and series we're producing, and it begins with a ground shot, the base of a statue under an orange sky with cables pulling it down.

01:08:01.000 On March 9th, which is also my birthday, Muse posted this video, which I'm not going to play for copyright reasons, but I can scroll through.

01:08:10.000 Starts with a ground shot.

01:08:12.000 You see a foot Some point, come in, then you see the base of the statue pointed up with cables hanging down under an orange sky, and then it zooms out as a hooded figure, and people are firing more cables, and they then pull the statue down.

01:08:25.000 Now, my initial reaction to the fact that Muse launched an album called Will of the People, and a song called Will of the People, it was on this show that Ian said to me, he's like, hey, did you know Muse has a new album coming out called Will of the People?

01:08:39.000 And I went, oh, how about that?

01:08:40.000 Because, yeah, it's just a title, and Muse being very political, I thought, okay, you know, whatever.

01:08:46.000 Then, it was last night, we were driving back from, you know, just out of town a little bit, and I decided to actually take a look, because I hadn't actually looked at what Muse was producing, and sure enough, The way I would describe this is it's a live-action version, shot-for-shot, of the intro and parts of the ending of Will of the People.

01:09:07.000 Now, considering this is a promo, we don't know exactly what Muse is intending to do with the full release.

01:09:13.000 In this video, they're chanting over and over again, the Will of the People, the Will of the People.

01:09:17.000 And, of course, in my song, we say, this is the Will of the People, and they're pulling statues down.

01:09:22.000 So it's very similar.

01:09:24.000 Um, I've, uh, what people need to understand is I've not said anything in terms of legal stuff.

01:09:29.000 I tweeted out, we have questions, but considering we've heavily invested in, uh, we've got, again, I got two songs, you know, I can, I can actually do this.

01:09:37.000 I'm gonna do something I shouldn't do because I shouldn't have to reveal this stuff, but I have no problem

01:09:41.000 Showing just a little bit of a rough cut So this is uh one of the songs that I don't know how to

01:10:01.000 turn off There we go.

01:10:03.000 That we've been working on because, and we also have another song, it's on my Instagram.

01:10:07.000 So we're absolutely producing in this, and this is an issue for us, so I'm curious, Mr. Lawyer, what your thoughts are.

01:10:16.000 Well, you know, look, you know, I had done copyright work for General Motors at one point about the computer code in their cars and attempts by the state of California to grab that.

01:10:30.000 So, you know, look, in terms of the basic elements of copyright law, I mean, it looks to me like There's a lot of similarity here and, you know, it'd be interesting if you could uncover evidence of whether there was actual, you know, intent to copy.

01:10:47.000 But it looks like it's been, you know, some key elements have been copied and then the issue is, you know, is there originality in your work?

01:10:55.000 I think it's very original.

01:10:56.000 I think particularly, you know, compliments to you.

01:10:59.000 The turning statue?

01:11:01.000 That was inspired by artwork from a Polish artist.

01:11:03.000 But we created our own version of it, we animated it, and we made it part of a bigger story.

01:11:08.000 So there's a lot to break down, especially.

01:11:12.000 Some people have said... I tweeted this out and I said, we have questions.

01:11:16.000 Big fan Matt Bellamy would love to chat, because I need questions answered, right?

01:11:22.000 A lot of people said, the idea of the statues being pulled down, you don't know.

01:11:25.000 And I said, right.

01:11:26.000 And they said, the idea of an orange sky, you don't know.

01:11:28.000 They said the phrase, will of the people, you don't know.

01:11:30.000 And I said, okay.

01:11:31.000 And then I said, the name, the ground shot followed by the bay shot of a statue under an orange sky with ropes pulling down the statues is pretty much a live action remake of what we made.

01:11:42.000 Right.

01:11:43.000 Well, look, I mean, it seems to me that that's the kind of defense argument you would face, right?

01:11:47.000 But it's an attempt to atomize your work.

01:11:50.000 If you look at it, if you take a step back and you look at how you've combined the elements, right?

01:11:54.000 It's combinatorial.

01:11:56.000 It looks like it's very similar.

01:11:59.000 And if I were you, I'd be pretty concerned about, you know, Muse, you know, coming out with something like that right after you've done it.

01:12:08.000 There may be evidence that they saw your work, and that would be very troubling if I were looking at that, Tim.

01:12:16.000 Considering that Matt Bellamy has praised Alex Jones in the past, maybe I'm wrong, I just want to make sure I can put that out there, but there have been numerous statements, and I listened to an interview purportedly of the lead singer of Muse telling Alex Jones, Alex Jones inspired his music.

01:12:32.000 Their songs use a lot of themes of anti-establishment, anti-government, so a lot of people like them.

01:12:37.000 So I've seen them.

01:12:37.000 I don't know where they exactly stand on the political spectrum.

01:12:40.000 It stands to reason that they likely have access and have definitely seen the work we've

01:12:46.000 done and produced, considering the guests we have on the show overlap with a lot of

01:12:50.000 what they talk about.

01:12:52.000 So you know...

01:12:53.000 So I've seen them, you know, I know that they have a connection to the Alex Jones show.

01:12:58.000 I have some used songs on my iPhone right behind me.

01:13:03.000 So, you know, I know kind of where they draw their themes from and I can see why you're asking these questions.

01:13:09.000 If I made a... wrote a book.

01:13:11.000 You can't copyright book titles, right?

01:13:15.000 Not quite sure of that.

01:13:16.000 Off the top of my head.

01:13:17.000 So, I'll put it this way.

01:13:17.000 Okay.

01:13:19.000 There's a lot of people who responded to my post on Instagram and my Twitter when I said we have questions.

01:13:24.000 I didn't say anything beyond that.

01:13:25.000 I didn't threaten any... I didn't claim anything.

01:13:27.000 But a lot of people immediately said Muse didn't steal your work.

01:13:30.000 And like I didn't even say that.

01:13:32.000 A lot of people didn't realize though that they took the name as well as the color scheme, the symbols.

01:13:37.000 I mean we have the character in the hood raising his fist and then like it's a whole pulling the mask up.

01:13:43.000 So obviously there's a lot of things that exist in reality that you can't individually claim.

01:13:49.000 But, you know, my response is like, what if I wrote a book called Star Battles about space ninjas with plasma swords that fought the Imperials?

01:13:59.000 Would I get sued?

01:13:59.000 That's awesome.

01:14:01.000 Would I get sued for that if I made that book?

01:14:03.000 Yeah, I think you would because, you know, everyone would recognize it as connected to Star Wars and, you know, the combination of those elements, right, those creative elements is what makes it, you know, particular work.

01:14:15.000 And, you know, I think you'd have, you know, an interesting claim, you know, more than colorable it seems to me that You know, that's infringement of a set of combined ideas that you put together.

01:14:26.000 And if I didn't sort of spell out the atomization point, right?

01:14:29.000 If you just, you know, take a very narrow slice of some creative work, you can always find that there's some similarity to something else, right?

01:14:37.000 That can't be the analysis.

01:14:38.000 You have to take a sort of gestalt and take a step back from it and look at it in order to assess that kind of issue.

01:14:44.000 So everybody, we're a decently large company in terms of revenue.

01:14:50.000 Not in terms of employees, but we're expanding.

01:14:52.000 We've got multiple properties.

01:14:54.000 We're building a new headquarters.

01:14:55.000 We have lawyers.

01:14:56.000 We have several, because this is what you have to do when you're working in entertainment and content.

01:15:00.000 And so the first thing we have to do as we're working these projects is just like, send it to the lawyer.

01:15:05.000 And the immediate response we got from one, friends who are lawyers, and our lawyers was, whoa!

01:15:13.000 Now here's the crazy part.

01:15:15.000 They published it on my birthday.

01:15:17.000 Now obviously a lot of people, the first reaction I get was like, everybody basically said to me, actually everybody, a small handful of lawyers, they're like, you know, if someone came out and said, this guy made a similar work to me and put it out on my birthday, they'd be like, well, you know, look, there's 365 days in the year, it's like they're eventually going to hit it.

01:15:35.000 But when it's the same name, then it's like, well, you know, I guess it's okay.

01:15:40.000 But then it's the same colors, the same theme, similar characters, same story, same name.

01:15:44.000 And on my birthday, yo, it kind of sounds like they did it on purpose.

01:15:48.000 Well, if you take a number of probabilistic events, right?

01:15:53.000 And you start looking at what's the probability of those all happening in conjunction with each other, right?

01:15:59.000 You multiply them together and the fraction gets smaller and smaller, right?

01:16:04.000 I mean, these kinds of things, you know, those sorts of arguments are launched in, you

01:16:08.000 know, all kinds of litigation, but, you know, especially in the criminal law, right? So maybe,

01:16:12.000 you know, there's a one in ten chance that a particular fiber, you know, was left at the scene of

01:16:18.000 a crime, right? But then if you accumulate it with a piece of evidence about, you know,

01:16:23.000 the ethnicity of the person.

01:16:25.000 And then you have some DNA evidence.

01:16:26.000 Like, DNA evidence doesn't necessarily rule out everybody, right?

01:16:30.000 But you multiply all those things together, you get to an astronomical number.

01:16:34.000 Then you start to scratch your head and say, you know, it looks like the odds that it's not this person are very low.

01:16:40.000 And so in this kind of analysis, it would be with all these coincidental elements of the work all occurring at once, seems like it's right for you to be asking questions.

01:16:50.000 But it doesn't seem like a coincidence.

01:16:51.000 Well, let me say this.

01:16:52.000 To everybody who's listening live, comment, do you think this was coincidental or intentional?

01:16:58.000 And I want to ask you guys what you think.

01:17:01.000 Based on what you've seen and, you know.

01:17:03.000 Well, I want to get ahead of everybody else in saying this.

01:17:06.000 I think that we've found out who the muse of muses is.

01:17:10.000 And it's Tim Poole.

01:17:11.000 You are their muse.

01:17:13.000 And so I think Jeff's assessment that there's something there is pretty accurate.

01:17:18.000 Jeff, would you, when you look at this, just personally as a lawyer, does it look like intentional to you?

01:17:25.000 Like it was intentional?

01:17:27.000 You know, I think as a lawyer, part of my training is to be cautious, Tim.

01:17:31.000 And so, you know, that I wouldn't jump out on right now.

01:17:35.000 But I will say that, you know, like putting those two things side by side, they look pretty damn similar.

01:17:40.000 And there's some other... And they're named the same thing.

01:17:42.000 Yeah, they're named the same thing.

01:17:43.000 I mean, you know, where there's smoke, there may be fire.

01:17:48.000 And so it's right for you to be pushing this and raising your questions.

01:17:52.000 And the fact that there's a year and a half distance between the two projects coming out.

01:17:57.000 When you first posted about it, I thought you just created this video the other day.

01:18:01.000 I didn't realize it was out for a year and a half.

01:18:03.000 They've had plenty of time to watch it, review it, and be like, oh.

01:18:07.000 We've got 1.2 million views on our song.

01:18:10.000 It's on Spotify, it's on iTunes, it's on Bandcamp.

01:18:14.000 The first Tim Castellaro performance of this was June 19th, 2020.

01:18:19.000 So even well before we published the video of it, I was playing acoustic and singing live.

01:18:23.000 So, you know, I don't know.

01:18:28.000 What I have to consider is there's a difference between me as an individual business owner and what a corporation with multiple owners would be dealing with.

01:18:37.000 There's pros and there's cons to being a partner in a big corporation.

01:18:41.000 Let's say you own a company with like four other people, shareholders.

01:18:46.000 You've got 20%, someone's got seven, someone's got 30 or whatever.

01:18:49.000 If some problem happens and you want to stand your ground and say, I will not allow this person to come at me, you've got to consider your other partners.

01:18:57.000 You got to be like, who's our investors?

01:18:59.000 Somebody invested money in our company.

01:19:01.000 If I go to battle and I lose, I'm losing their money.

01:19:04.000 So you may be risk averse.

01:19:06.000 One of the benefits, however, is you get a problem like this and you can say we have an

01:19:11.000 obligation to each other and it's not about what we want to do it's about what we have to do. So

01:19:16.000 if I had investors in this company, which I don't, then I would have no choice but to

01:19:21.000 immediately launch fire everything.

01:19:24.000 And be like, I can't be responsible to investors.

01:19:28.000 But as an individual, as someone who's a fan of Muse, I think about, look, we've got a lot of money invested in this project we're working on.

01:19:34.000 It is too similar.

01:19:36.000 Already, when you search for Will of the People, it's displaced us.

01:19:38.000 But it's not just the name, it's literally the description of what my song is.

01:19:43.000 Their description is the same as my description, for the most part.

01:19:46.000 Their visual depiction and story is the same.

01:19:48.000 If you were going to explain to someone what my music video was, it's interchangeable between the two of them.

01:19:54.000 How am I supposed to carry forward with this massive investment to building culture when Muse, a year and a half after me, has published what I view as a shot-for-shot remake?

01:20:03.000 of at least so far the intro with the same name of my song.

01:20:08.000 And so the question is, it's, you know, I'm a fan of the band.

01:20:13.000 I can play most of their songs, you know, but this is a threat to my business

01:20:17.000 and to the mission that we have.

01:20:19.000 I don't have investors to worry about, but I'm wondering what people think I should do

01:20:23.000 in a situation like this.

01:20:25.000 Should we say, like, already Mew is making an announcement, because they're a large and famous international band.

01:20:34.000 Already it's generated so much press, that's an uphill battle for us.

01:20:37.000 Or do I say, we are one of the biggest podcasts in the world with 60 million listeners every month.

01:20:43.000 And we have to push back and make sure we assert our copyrights and the project we've invested all this money in.

01:20:49.000 We've been investing in this project longer than they have.

01:20:52.000 So what do we do?

01:20:53.000 Let's just look at this just for the sake of argument, right?

01:20:58.000 Like, arguendo.

01:20:59.000 Let's suppose that they deliberately copyrighted it, right?

01:21:06.000 They may have made some kind of calculation that, based on looking at some statistics online, that they can get away with this, right?

01:21:15.000 And so if I were an individual creator, I'm not a person gifted with a lot of musical or visual artistic skills.

01:21:25.000 I'm a guy who lives in the world of analysis and writing and presenting arguments to courts.

01:21:31.000 But, you know, I respect your talent a lot.

01:21:33.000 As I said, I'm a fan of Muse, too.

01:21:36.000 I have, you know, their songs on my iPhone.

01:21:38.000 But, you know, I would be insulted if I were someone who poured my creative energy into something and I saw

01:21:44.000 that it was, you know, blatantly being hijacked.

01:21:47.000 That's very, that would hurt me personally.

01:21:49.000 Let me ask you a basic copyright question.

01:21:51.000 You know, a company like Warner, they're going to do a basic,

01:21:55.000 like, search for IP and copyright if they're launching a product, right?

01:21:58.000 Yeah, I mean, they're going to do any company that engages in anything, especially if it involves a significant investment, is going to do due diligence to see, you know, like, what's out there, who could come after us.

01:22:12.000 We did, when we launched this.

01:22:14.000 So we are careful to make sure that when we're launching it, we do basic searches.

01:22:18.000 We look up song.

01:22:19.000 We don't find anything.

01:22:20.000 We're like, OK, we're good.

01:22:21.000 You know, because if we're going to if we're going to put tens of thousands of dollars into marketing even.

01:22:25.000 Right.

01:22:26.000 You don't want to take chances with it because it obviously is possible sometimes that there could be some coincidental overlap.

01:22:26.000 Yeah.

01:22:32.000 You don't want to be blindsided by that when you're down the road in the business venture that flows from the creative act.

01:22:38.000 You know, I would think that that big, you know, company behind Muse would do that kind of work.

01:22:44.000 And, you know, look, it also doesn't... So let's say there was, again, just for purposes of argument, imagine that there was some deliberate activity here.

01:22:53.000 It doesn't even look like they tried to make tweaks to things to be able to improve their position, right?

01:23:01.000 They didn't change the color scheme, you know, the titles the same.

01:23:05.000 Uh, you know, the birthday thing, I think, that would make me wonder whether I was being trolled, but I don't think that's the kind of thing that, you know, that could be pure coincidence.

01:23:14.000 But just all of these things together?

01:23:16.000 But look, like, both videos start with a ground shot, theirs is slightly different, the shoe steps in, but then it shows, you know, the base of the statue, theirs is pointed upwards, mine's at the base.

01:23:28.000 The ropes are already hanging from their statue.

01:23:30.000 The ropes are already hanging from mine.

01:23:31.000 Orange sky.

01:23:32.000 People are pulling on it.

01:23:33.000 And then that's the cold open.

01:23:36.000 And the reveal at the end is they're pulling the statue down and it's rotating.

01:23:38.000 Right.

01:23:39.000 So look, we have no choice but to ask these questions and pursue it and have these conversations.

01:23:44.000 Especially, there's a lot people need to understand about, you know, why we would do a segment on the show about this.

01:23:50.000 And it's because there are certain legal questions about your ability to assert your position when you're a public figure.

01:23:58.000 Long story short is, if I don't exercise my rights to try and assert my copyright, it could be bad for me.

01:24:04.000 And considering we've got two songs nearing completion, and we're reaching out, we're storyboarding the next, we've already finished storyboarding the next series on this.

01:24:12.000 I have to be like, hey, this is an issue for us, and we're taking it very, very seriously, and we're gonna be, you know, we need to have a conversation with Warner and Muse.

01:24:20.000 So, Warner and Muse, you need to be talking to us.

01:24:22.000 We have to.

01:24:23.000 Otherwise, I don't, it has to be done.

01:24:27.000 So, with that being said, comment, let me know what you guys think.

01:24:31.000 I'm not saying I know exactly what the best path forward is for anybody, for me, or Muse, or otherwise.

01:24:37.000 I'm just saying, whether you agree or not, Most people say there are similarities.

01:24:43.000 There's confusion, there's an issue, and ours existed first, and we've already put more money into this, so questions need to be asked.

01:24:49.000 But we'll move on from this because I think we talked about as much as we can, and let's talk about the Academy Awards.

01:24:56.000 I think that Will Smith smacking Chris Rock was staged.

01:25:00.000 Really?

01:25:01.000 What do you guys think?

01:25:03.000 Yeah, I have no clue.

01:25:03.000 I don't know.

01:25:04.000 I almost don't care.

01:25:06.000 You almost don't care?

01:25:07.000 I don't care.

01:25:07.000 I don't care at all about, you know, that event that took place.

01:25:11.000 But I think it's important to talk about mental health.

01:25:15.000 And, you know, Mike Cernovich has been on top of this, talking about how, you know, it's probably taken a toll on Will, the fact that, you know, he allows his wife to sleep with other men.

01:25:25.000 And then, you know, he's totally okay with that.

01:25:27.000 But a joke he gets upset by?

01:25:30.000 And so Will's probably not all there right now from a mental health standpoint.

01:25:35.000 And so even I could see how it wouldn't be staged.

01:25:37.000 I could see how maybe he just had enough and he had a snap.

01:25:41.000 Someone did Super Chedda saying, trust me, it wasn't staged.

01:25:44.000 And the way Chris Rock reacted, there's two things.

01:25:47.000 One suggests it was staged, one that it wasn't.

01:25:49.000 After he got hit, you could tell that he didn't know what to do.

01:25:52.000 And he was like, in a difficult position where he was like, and they said, we're giving away documentaries, Oscars, because he's clearly flustered, he got smacked in the face.

01:26:01.000 However, When Will Smith cranks up to hit him, Chris Rock doesn't put his hands up, which is a common reflex when you're about to be hit.

01:26:09.000 In fact, he does a, maybe it was an accident, but he makes a move that is common in fight choreography where he moves with the hand swing.

01:26:19.000 So when someone is fake slapping you, what you do is when the hand is coming in, you move with it.

01:26:24.000 So it's a glancing hit and less impact to your face.

01:26:28.000 Well, their ratings have been in the tank for the last few years and nobody talks about them anymore and now everybody's talking about it today.

01:26:35.000 There's been great memes created already.

01:26:37.000 It's a great meme template.

01:26:39.000 Will Smith is a, you know, he's, I'm very grateful for his work in giving us good meme templates over the years.

01:26:46.000 His movies have been lackluster, to say the least, as of late.

01:26:50.000 But he gives us great meme templates, and there's a lot you can do with the slap motion.

01:26:55.000 Well, Cuck was trending on Twitter all day.

01:26:58.000 Really?

01:26:59.000 Because Jada Pinkett Smith apparently is allowed to be with anybody she wants. 1.00

01:27:03.000 Yeah, I gotta read Mike Cernovich's tweet.

01:27:05.000 It was the best tweet I saw on this whole situation.

01:27:09.000 Mike's been on fire for this.

01:27:11.000 He's always on fire. 0.97

01:27:12.000 He tweeted, being a cuck just went out of style. 0.98

01:27:15.000 Everyone saw a broken man trying to save face. 0.96

01:27:18.000 Don't be smacking cheeks when you letting other men clapping cheeks.

01:27:23.000 Wow!

01:27:24.000 Poetic by Cirno.

01:27:26.000 And it's almost 10,000 likes on that one.

01:27:28.000 Oh man.

01:27:30.000 Twitter doesn't let me pull this stuff up anymore.

01:27:32.000 So look, you know, I didn't study Hollywood, fakery, and law school, so I don't pretend to be an expert.

01:27:37.000 But, you know, I would say as a layperson, I don't buy this.

01:27:42.000 I think it's about as real as, you know, wardrobe malfunctions in the past.

01:27:47.000 And look, you know, Hollywood is expert in staging things, right?

01:27:52.000 That's what they do for a living. 0.98

01:27:54.000 Yeah.

01:27:55.000 And that's why the cops didn't come in?

01:27:57.000 Look, I'm a fan of Will Smith.

01:27:59.000 He's a fellow Philadelphian.

01:28:05.000 I think that the whole thing smells, and it's the kind of thing you launch when you're in an awards show that no one wants to watch anymore.

01:28:13.000 It's possible it was real.

01:28:14.000 Like, you know, you can think about the LAPD said, you know, Chris Rock's not gonna file, so that's it.

01:28:20.000 My response is, the police don't need the victim to file.

01:28:24.000 If the police have evidence enough to convict, they can go on whether or not you as a victim want them to.

01:28:29.000 So it could just be it's all one big happy family and they're like, we don't want cops arresting Will Smith.

01:28:38.000 Just let it go.

01:28:39.000 And they all say, let it go.

01:28:40.000 And that's what happens when you're powerful, wealthy elites.

01:28:44.000 You can walk up to a man and smack him in the face for your wife's honor. 1.00

01:28:46.000 And you're not going to spend it. 0.57

01:28:48.000 You're not, you're going to go party afterwards and get drunk.

01:28:50.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:28:50.000 I personally thought the clip of Amy Schumer and her fellow idiots singing gay on the stage was... I didn't watch it! 1.00

01:29:01.000 You gotta pull that one out. 0.96

01:29:02.000 You literally have Amy Schumer and two people I've never seen or heard of before in my entire life singing, you know, protesting Ron DeSantis' bill saying gay, gay, gay, gay.

01:29:11.000 It's just so weird that Hollywood would be protesting like the most milquetoast attempt at an anti-grooming bill.

01:29:17.000 Strange.

01:29:18.000 Yeah, but I mean Roman Polanski is You're you're just jealous again going back to your detention slip.

01:29:25.000 Yeah, I'm Seriously pissed.

01:29:27.000 Where was Amy Schumer when I got sent to the prince?

01:29:30.000 That's exactly right.

01:29:31.000 That's exactly right Hollywood's dead, man.

01:29:34.000 They had 10 million total viewers on the Oscars last year.

01:29:34.000 Yeah.

01:29:38.000 Brutal.

01:29:38.000 And that was down like 60% from the year before.

01:29:41.000 Yeah, we did a cartoon about that if you guys want to check out.

01:29:43.000 It's called The Wokest Oscars on Freedom Tunes.

01:29:46.000 I'm not sure if it was staged.

01:29:47.000 I said I almost don't care.

01:29:48.000 I guess maybe some small part of me does a little bit just because I very much dislike Hollywood and they do something ridiculous and I want to say, uh, darn Hollywood, but Whether it was faked or not, it's clear that this has had the effect of people ridiculing a specific person at the Oscars rather than the entire ceremony as a whole. 0.95

01:30:11.000 Because for the past couple years it's been, how unbelievably stupid is this ridiculous patting of oneself on the back ceremony that occurs where they give awards to their friends for doing things that they sit there and pretend is important while the rest of us don't really care. 0.83

01:30:29.000 Seamus, I would like to award you our first annual Castie. 0.96

01:30:34.000 So I want to say that we have always been ahead of the curve on TimCast in telling ordinary Americans that they're wrong and need to be more like us.

01:30:50.000 Thank you for this award.

01:30:51.000 Yo, legit, I think I'm gonna buy a bunch of those little alpacas. 1.00

01:30:54.000 Give him out his awards?

01:30:56.000 Yeah, I think I should go pick some up.

01:30:57.000 Seamus didn't say he stands with Ukraine in his speech, so... Oh my gosh, cancel.

01:31:01.000 Give it back.

01:31:02.000 Yeah, we're gonna cancel Seamus.

01:31:04.000 He gave it back to mine again.

01:31:06.000 Because I think it is the default stance to stand for Ukraine.

01:31:09.000 I'm sorry that you don't agree.

01:31:11.000 If we did, like, an award... Turn it around on him.

01:31:14.000 Doesn't need to be said.

01:31:15.000 Exactly.

01:31:16.000 It goes without saying.

01:31:17.000 If we did like an award ceremony called the truthies or something and we use little alpacas, do you think James O'Keefe would mind?

01:31:25.000 That'd be so good.

01:31:26.000 James is great.

01:31:28.000 What if it was an award ceremony for like most contrived speech and we just went to different podcasters and awarded them based on who gave a really contrived speech at some point in their podcast and then they have to give a contrived speech while they're up on stage receiving it?

01:31:39.000 I mean, who would be better for that?

01:31:41.000 Isn't that the whole point of the award show?

01:31:42.000 Someone goes on stage, gives a contrived speech, a lot of people get mad at it, it boosts ratings and people pay attention.

01:31:48.000 Wouldn't it make more sense to just cut out the nonsense and give people awards simply for making contrived, nonsensical speeches?

01:31:54.000 It is a crazy thought when you realize that nobody watches the Oscars.

01:31:57.000 These great cultural moments losing significance and now we just don't care anymore.

01:32:02.000 We're talking about it now because some dude smacked another dude, but whether it was staged or not, that's the only thing they have that makes us talk about it.

01:32:08.000 Do you know what movie Will Smith was in?

01:32:12.000 No?

01:32:14.000 Does anybody know?

01:32:15.000 I know what movie he was in.

01:32:15.000 It started with a C?

01:32:16.000 No.

01:32:17.000 I know.

01:32:17.000 Do you guys not know?

01:32:18.000 King Richard.

01:32:18.000 No idea.

01:32:19.000 I'm sorry you're up to date on these things, Tim.

01:32:22.000 This is investigative journalism.

01:32:23.000 Yes, it is.

01:32:24.000 But my point is, people don't even know what movie Will Smith was in when he was there.

01:32:29.000 And all they know is on TV some guy smacked another guy.

01:32:33.000 That's all the Oscars is these days.

01:32:34.000 Yeah.

01:32:35.000 But, you know, back to the... I'm becoming probability guy.

01:32:40.000 You know, back to the combining probabilities, right?

01:32:42.000 The fact that the show is failing and the only thing that makes anyone talk about it is this incident, to me suggests that the incident is artificial.

01:32:53.000 Right.

01:32:54.000 Makes sense.

01:32:54.000 It's fake news.

01:32:55.000 It's all fake news.

01:32:57.000 But people need to understand, too, that that stage doesn't mean anybody other than Will Smith and Chris Rock knew about it.

01:33:03.000 It could even be that Chris Rock didn't know about it, but Will Smith's people told him this would be really good for publicity.

01:33:09.000 You know, we heard he's going to tell a joke, go up there and smash him.

01:33:12.000 Is he going to get an anti-Alapecia contract?

01:33:14.000 I don't know.

01:33:15.000 We're talking about him, aren't we?

01:33:16.000 It's his first Oscar, isn't it?

01:33:18.000 It's the first one he's ever won?

01:33:19.000 I don't know.

01:33:20.000 That I don't know.

01:33:21.000 Also, what was the joke, even?

01:33:22.000 G-G.I.

01:33:23.000 Like, why is that a bad joke?

01:33:23.000 Jane?

01:33:25.000 Because Jada Pinkett Smith has alopecia, so her hair's falling out, so she shaved her head. 1.00

01:33:30.000 So he was like, I look forward to G.I.

01:33:32.000 Jane 2.

01:33:33.000 And Will Smith laughed.

01:33:34.000 And then Jada Pinkett Smith's face like... She glared at him. 1.00

01:33:37.000 And then she looks at him and then he gets up.

01:33:39.000 And then, you know, Chris Rock says something like, oh, hey Richard, or whatever.

01:33:43.000 And then Will Smith slaps him.

01:33:45.000 I thought it was fake.

01:33:47.000 I thought it was fake because the cops didn't come.

01:33:48.000 I thought it was fake because Chris Rock didn't do anything.

01:33:52.000 That's the weirdest thing to me.

01:33:55.000 If I was on stage and someone walked up to me, the first thing I would do is be like, I'd put my hand up and be like, back off.

01:33:55.000 I don't know.

01:34:00.000 Why are you walking up to me like this?

01:34:00.000 What are you doing?

01:34:02.000 I don't know though, man, because if, if we were going to fake a fight and that was our whole thing and you were supposed to come up and smack me, I wouldn't be like, yes, I'm going to take the role of the guy who stands there in front of the entire world and doesn't fight back after he got smacked in the face.

01:34:15.000 It just seems like a really weird thing to agree to.

01:34:17.000 I saw all these comments.

01:34:18.000 Will Smith defending his wife's honor.

01:34:21.000 And who defends their wife's honor with like an open hand slap?

01:34:26.000 I gotta be honest, I think it's good that we're talking about it.

01:34:28.000 Do you?

01:34:29.000 Yeah, because I'd rather people of low, what's the polite way to say this? 1.00

01:34:36.000 Of low cognitive, of limited cognitive faculties.

01:34:39.000 I would prefer it if they weren't coming out and arguing politics and voting for Biden.

01:34:43.000 You know, the way I put it is when I was younger, I was like, I wish more people were involved in politics.

01:34:47.000 Why don't they pay attention?

01:34:48.000 All they care about is sports and celebrities.

01:34:51.000 Then 2020 happens and all people cared about was politics, but they didn't know anything about it.

01:34:55.000 And so they're like, I just feel like we're in a car, you know, we're in, we're in a bus and everyone's like, we can drive off the cliff or just turn around.

01:35:04.000 And I'm like, I vote to turn around.

01:35:05.000 And they're like, off the cliff, off.

01:35:07.000 I'm like, no, no, everybody look at the rabbit, look out the window, look at the rabbit, stop.

01:35:12.000 If people want to pay attention to politics and they're passionate about it, then by all means we can have disagreements for whoever we want.

01:35:18.000 But if regular people are going like, yo, he smacked that guy, I'd rather have them be more interested in that than going out and voting on things they don't know about and aren't interested in.

01:35:28.000 You don't gotta be smart to vote.

01:35:29.000 I'm not saying that.

01:35:30.000 I'm saying if you don't care about it and you're only going out and voting because it's pop culture, that's a problem.

01:35:35.000 Let's have everybody go watch sports and pop culture somewhere else.

01:35:38.000 And anybody of any intellect or, you know, whatever, you're allowed to vote so long as you want to and you're choosing to take that first step.

01:35:46.000 You're saying it consumes their attention span, you know, budget.

01:35:50.000 And I guess I got to thank Will and Chris because they were able to shift the news cycle away from Ukraine for a very short moment.

01:35:58.000 And so now we're back.

01:36:00.000 I just wonder if Will Smith has some Irish in his blood.

01:36:05.000 That's a great point.

01:36:06.000 That must be.

01:36:07.000 All right, let's go to Super Chats.

01:36:09.000 If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends if you like it, and head over to TimCast.com.

01:36:15.000 We're going to have a members-only segment coming up at about 11 p.m.

01:36:18.000 on the website.

01:36:19.000 And as a member, you're helping keep all of this work going.

01:36:21.000 You're helping us expand and build that cultural content I've been talking about.

01:36:25.000 I want to stress the importance of cultural content.

01:36:28.000 The Daily Wire is doing the same thing.

01:36:31.000 Because complaining about stuff on the internet only goes so far.

01:36:34.000 Making artwork, content that shows your values and inspires young people and will live on, that's important.

01:36:43.000 Inspiring someone who's young as to, like, why should you have these values?

01:36:46.000 Here's why.

01:36:47.000 Here's what we believe in.

01:36:49.000 Just saying it isn't enough.

01:36:50.000 And that's why cultural stuff is so important.

01:36:50.000 You gotta show.

01:36:52.000 So with your support, we'll do more.

01:36:53.000 Smash that like button.

01:36:55.000 Let's read some of these super chats.

01:36:56.000 We got random user who says, send Will Smith to smack Putin.

01:37:00.000 That sounds like something someone at the Oscars speech would say.

01:37:03.000 That's a thought.

01:37:04.000 Something Lindsey Graham would say on Twitter. 1.00

01:37:06.000 That's true.

01:37:07.000 Man overboard media says can next year's Oscars be hosted by Jerry Springer and Steve Wilkos?

01:37:12.000 Yes.

01:37:14.000 Amazing.

01:37:15.000 Trip Sucks says, out of all the voices that Seamus can do, he chooses a Tucker Carlson impression for his regular, normal, everyday voice.

01:37:21.000 Do I sound like Tucker?

01:37:22.000 What do you really sound like?

01:37:25.000 Here's my actual voice, ladies and gentlemen.

01:37:27.000 The media wants you to think that I sound like Tucker Carlson.

01:37:29.000 I don't, actually. 0.97

01:37:31.000 Ridiculous. 0.92

01:37:32.000 I've never said anything that sounded even remotely like Tucker Carlson. 0.96

01:37:34.000 So why do they want you to think otherwise?

01:37:36.000 That's the question you need to ask.

01:37:38.000 He adds those little things afterwards like, you know, yeah, it's like I'm just making a declarative statement He then adds, you know, why don't you think about it?

01:37:46.000 Well, we got me and they should and they should yeah, we got the Irish broke from you tonight It comes out to me every now and again because I internalize other people's suffering so often I WhitePaperCat says, you're working on a video game. 1.00

01:38:01.000 Cool.

01:38:02.000 And yes, we are.

01:38:04.000 We've had a bit of a functioning like alpha.

01:38:07.000 And then we have right now a we retooled it and refined it.

01:38:13.000 But right now the latest version is awesome.

01:38:16.000 I think so.

01:38:17.000 I won't say too much, but it's sort of a roguelike game.

01:38:24.000 It's a platformer descending roguelike where you are battling your way and collecting new items.

01:38:33.000 It's good stuff in the works.

01:38:35.000 I don't know if we ever said the name publicly or anything though.

01:38:37.000 No, I don't want to give too much away about it.

01:38:39.000 We've been working on this for over a year, and it's sort of gone through.

01:38:43.000 There have been a couple of iterations, but it looks like it's finally getting to the final stage with the actual code that we're going to end up using.

01:38:51.000 I'm really excited about it.

01:38:52.000 It's going to be really cool.

01:38:53.000 We're really getting close.

01:38:55.000 There's more work to be done, but I think we finally have the basis completely finished.

01:39:01.000 We're not working on a rough draft at this point.

01:39:02.000 Right.

01:39:03.000 Now it's a matter of artwork, and I think the only thing we really need at this point is, like, we want to make a ridiculously massive inventory system.

01:39:11.000 So, you know, I'm talking, like, weekly updates with new items.

01:39:15.000 And it's going to be fun.

01:39:17.000 Well, and Tim, how cool is it to be at a show where you got, you know, D-100s on the table?

01:39:17.000 It's going to be fun.

01:39:23.000 I got a D-120.

01:39:24.000 Thank Ian for that.

01:39:25.000 D-120.

01:39:26.000 It's heavy, too.

01:39:28.000 Yeah, the D-100 won't stop rolling after you roll it.

01:39:31.000 There you go.

01:39:32.000 It's going to destroy the whole table.

01:39:34.000 You got a 14.

01:39:36.000 All that for a 14. 0.86

01:39:37.000 Yeah, pretty crappy.

01:39:38.000 Oh well.

01:39:39.000 Alright.

01:39:40.000 No.

01:39:40.000 Did he really?

01:39:40.000 Did he do that?

01:39:41.000 Do you want to pull it up?

01:39:42.000 I heard that slap and I thought it sounded weird.

01:39:44.000 fight director that slap was a stage slap. Note Will Smith hitting his chest to make a sound.

01:39:49.000 Did he really? No. Did he do that? He did the... Do you want to pull it up?

01:39:53.000 Um, yeah I can pull it up on my laptop. I heard that slap and I thought it sounded weird.

01:39:58.000 I'd heard someone say that he stomped his foot.

01:40:00.000 God, you're telling me Hollywood couldn't come up with better special effects than that if they were to fake this?

01:40:03.000 Yeah, really. I agree.

01:40:06.000 Yeah, but look, if it was staged between just the two people and no one else, right?

01:40:12.000 Yeah.

01:40:13.000 Thomas Sidebottom says, the only reason the media can get away with saying what he actually meant was, is because Biden literally can't defend against it.

01:40:20.000 Also, I mean, they do it all the time to people who can defend against it.

01:40:24.000 They just know what you were thinking every time you say something.

01:40:27.000 It's very impressive power they have.

01:40:29.000 Seriously, JK says, I know I'm a random internet guy, but I have a very close inside Hollywood source with direct connection to two of them.

01:40:36.000 Nothing was staged, trust me or not, but this person is super legit.

01:40:40.000 But could it be that Will Smith walked up to Chris Rock yesterday and whispered, I'm gonna slap you, do a joke, okay?

01:40:46.000 Don't tell anybody.

01:40:47.000 Could it have been that staged?

01:40:49.000 And so obviously their family and friends were like, wow, that was real.

01:40:52.000 Huh.

01:40:54.000 Maybe.

01:40:55.000 Let's see.

01:40:56.000 Barrick Bulldog says, no Ian Weep.

01:40:58.000 Ian is currently on vacation.

01:41:01.000 Tim, let me send you the link.

01:41:03.000 I can't pull it up on there.

01:41:03.000 I don't know.

01:41:04.000 Oh, you're not able to pull it up on there?

01:41:05.000 Okay.

01:41:07.000 All right.

01:41:08.000 Jacqueline Pierce says, Shimcast, please shout out Joseph's 9th birthday because he's a huge Shimcast fan and loves Freedom 2 so much.

01:41:16.000 Well, that's fantastic.

01:41:18.000 Joseph is also an incredible name.

01:41:21.000 Happy birthday, young lad.

01:41:23.000 Vash says Zelensky threw up the white flag. He's giving up the Donbass.

01:41:27.000 If only Russia would have told us that was their intent, we could have negotiated for peace instead of arming people

01:41:31.000 they consider terrorists.

01:41:33.000 Is that happening? That's the latest? He's giving up? He's going to give in?

01:41:35.000 Does that make Putin stop? Don't know.

01:41:37.000 It's not going to work.

01:41:39.000 Yeah.

01:41:40.000 Should... You know that joke I sent you about the USA Today article?

01:41:45.000 Should we say that or did you want to use it?

01:41:48.000 Let's use it.

01:41:49.000 Let's think about it.

01:41:49.000 Also, someone shouted out the cartoon we collaborated on.

01:41:53.000 I think it was up there a little bit.

01:41:55.000 He complimented your Fauci performance.

01:41:57.000 Oh, there you go.

01:41:58.000 Harry To says, the Freedom Tunes episode, Fauci starving for attention, is the funniest thing I've seen this year.

01:42:03.000 When Fauci Tim starts singing the Eminem song, I almost fell out of my chair.

01:42:07.000 I'm very proud of that.

01:42:08.000 Yeah, that was a great moment.

01:42:10.000 And if you guys are interested, if you watch the cartoon and laugh, if you donate on Patreon, you'll actually be able to see Tim and I recording it.

01:42:16.000 And some of it was actually improv.

01:42:18.000 The final product is a bit different from the script and we came up with some really funny stuff.

01:42:23.000 Wait, so we actually recorded when I had that epiphany?

01:42:25.000 Yes.

01:42:26.000 I was like, I stopped and I was like, Seamus, you're like, wait a minute, I've got it.

01:42:29.000 And you were like, what, what do you got?

01:42:30.000 And I was like, Stan.

01:42:31.000 I was like, that's a horrible idea!

01:42:33.000 We're not doing it!

01:42:35.000 Fauci singing Stan.

01:42:38.000 Or Trump is.

01:42:39.000 Trump Trump sings the the Dido part and She's good good. I would drink. Why you guys got to check

01:42:47.000 it out I'm gonna check that out.

01:42:49.000 Group B says, in response to earlier video, Brookings mislabeled you as Tim Pool Daily Show, when everyone knows it's Timcast.

01:42:56.000 Also about Biolabs, how do we know that they don't data back from the Soviet Union era?

01:43:01.000 Have data?

01:43:02.000 I don't know, but I will say, the Tim Pool Daily Show is a podcast.

01:43:07.000 I put up two podcasts.

01:43:08.000 Timcast IRL is conversational and Tim Pool Daily Show is monologue.

01:43:12.000 So if you didn't know that, because Timcast IRL on podcast platforms has way more viewers.

01:43:18.000 It's got triple the audience.

01:43:21.000 So I have two YouTube channels which are like me monologuing and then that becomes one podcast on iTunes and Spotify called Tim Pool Daily Show.

01:43:28.000 That's what Brookings was referencing They basically took me saying there are no bioweapons labs and people are wrong, and then made an article saying Tim Pool pushes lies that there are biolabs.

01:43:37.000 Congratulations.

01:43:38.000 That's brilliant fake news.

01:43:40.000 All right.

01:43:42.000 What do we got here?

01:43:43.000 Awesome.

01:43:44.000 Archivist says, Tim, I have a prediction based upon my analysis of the Ukrainian war.

01:43:48.000 I believe if the UN and NATO do not help rebuild Ukraine for fear of further Russian aggression, the World Economic Forum will for good public press.

01:43:58.000 Interesting.

01:44:00.000 Perhaps.

01:44:02.000 Valorn says, see, we English told you you can't trust the Irish, but you didn't listen and now you have one doing this. 1.00

01:44:08.000 Don't feed him whiskey after midnight.

01:44:10.000 First of all, you think he's awake after midnight?

01:44:13.000 Come on.

01:44:14.000 No way.

01:44:15.000 Yeah, we have to limit Seamus after the show because we wrap up around 11, and then Seamus is always going for the whiskey.

01:44:20.000 That's extremely fancy.

01:44:21.000 It's not true.

01:44:24.000 Only when it's not Lent.

01:44:26.000 Yeah, that's fair.

01:44:28.000 All right.

01:44:30.000 Icefox says, any advice for how to research your reps?

01:44:33.000 People like me who work long hours and no skill in research trying to figure out our reps' claims versus actual beliefs.

01:44:39.000 I just moved to NC and I'm trying to figure out my reps' choices so I can vote right coming up.

01:44:44.000 Go talk to them.

01:44:46.000 Look at their Twitter.

01:44:47.000 Look at their Twitter, talk to them, and you can go to Ballotpedia and look up a lot of information about them.

01:44:53.000 It's hard to know exactly.

01:44:53.000 It's the best thing you can do.

01:44:54.000 Can you trust them, you know?

01:44:58.000 Look at their record, I guess, but it is tough to be, you know, seriously.

01:45:01.000 There are some rating services that, you know, look at people's voting records.

01:45:05.000 You could find that on the net, too.

01:45:08.000 Greg Duvier says, Seamus, why do you still use Patreon?

01:45:12.000 That's a good question.

01:45:12.000 So we're actually working on building a paywall on my website right now, so we can use that instead, but it's still under construction.

01:45:18.000 So I switched to Subscribestar for a little while, but unfortunately, even though everyone tells you they want you to use something besides Patreon, when you create something different, you just don't pull in as much through donations, and it got to the point where we were literally going to have to stop making the cartoons because we weren't generating enough revenue to continue, so I just had to go back to Patreon for the time being.

01:45:36.000 Get that website.

01:45:37.000 Yeah, we're getting closer.

01:45:39.000 So basically what we're going to be doing is launching a paywall.

01:45:42.000 The normal Freedom Tunes videos, the weekly uploads, are going to stay free, but we're also working on extra content for people who donate.

01:45:51.000 I don't want to give an exact date right now, but once we have a solid enough content of library to have a bit of wiggle room, we're going to launch the official website where people will be able to donate for exclusive content.

01:46:01.000 So we're working on it now, and I'm pretty excited for that.

01:46:04.000 All right.

01:46:05.000 Hans Gruber.

01:46:06.000 Oh, Hans Gruber, huh?

01:46:08.000 He says, when billionaires sell massive amounts of stocks to pay taxes on unrealized gains, the market will crash.

01:46:14.000 That's true.

01:46:14.000 Good point.

01:46:15.000 It absolutely will.

01:46:15.000 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

01:46:16.000 I mean, they're going to have to sell off their shares.

01:46:18.000 You're going to crash the market.

01:46:19.000 But as I also mentioned, what you are doing is you are essentially saying, if someone is doing such a good job at running their company that the value of their stock increases, they should sacrifice control over their company.

01:46:30.000 To people who have potentially never been involved with the business before.

01:46:33.000 That's insane.

01:46:34.000 Yeah.

01:46:34.000 Crazy.

01:46:35.000 All right.

01:46:37.000 Winston Alexander says, with an unrealized tax, the government will have to federalize appraisers, local tax assessors, and insurance adjusters.

01:46:45.000 Yeah, otherwise how do you actually determine the value of something? 0.57

01:46:49.000 Crazy, man.

01:46:51.000 Pershing says, this hits people who own crypto hard because you don't earn any money on crypto till it's sold. 0.90

01:46:51.000 B.D. 0.90

01:46:57.000 So all these multi-millionaires due to crypto are going to get hit hard.

01:47:00.000 Maybe that's the point.

01:47:01.000 There are legit people who are worth $100 million because of crypto.

01:47:04.000 So they're going to try and stop these people from becoming wealthy off of crypto.

01:47:08.000 But man, just think about crazy that is.

01:47:10.000 That you were some libertarian trying to buy drugs on the Internet in 2010 and now you're worth $500 million.

01:47:16.000 Crazy.

01:47:18.000 Good for them. 0.75

01:47:20.000 Yo, you think I'm kidding.

01:47:21.000 That's what happened to a lot of people.

01:47:24.000 Man.

01:47:27.000 Sequoia says, unrealized gains tax forces asset sell-offs across all vectors.

01:47:34.000 Huge financial crisis.

01:47:35.000 Fed has perfect rationale to buy these assets, currently prohibited.

01:47:39.000 They have ownership stake control of every company equals great reset. 0.75

01:47:43.000 Crazy, man.

01:47:45.000 Yeah, or they like seize your assets because you couldn't afford your tax bill, so they just take your stuff from you without you selling it, you know.

01:47:51.000 A bunch of people were arguing over smashing the like button.

01:47:55.000 Button the smash like, like the smash button, smash the like button.

01:47:58.000 I think people were saying slap the like button earlier in the show.

01:48:01.000 Smush.

01:48:01.000 Slap it.

01:48:04.000 Raiken, uh, as I say, Raiken or Raelynn, wealth tax is already here.

01:48:08.000 It's called property taxes.

01:48:09.000 My house assessment went up 20%.

01:48:10.000 That's true.

01:48:11.000 And, uh, property ownership is how people transfer wealth to their, to their kids.

01:48:16.000 So they're absolutely taxing your wealth.

01:48:18.000 They just want to do more.

01:48:19.000 It's to prevent ordinary people from becoming wealthy because one argument that the left will always make about systemic racism and redlining is that property ownership is the quickest way to build up wealth and either enter the middle class or upper class and black people are excluded from that.

01:48:31.000 But they're fine making it more difficult for literally everyone in the country to amass wealth that way.

01:48:36.000 Even though they have acknowledged that it can keep a group of people down and will keep groups of people down.

01:48:42.000 Well, it's what you were saying, Tim, earlier about, you know, structural dynamism.

01:48:46.000 If all these rules basically lock people, you know, lock the world into a stasis where the rich stay rich and other people can't climb the ladder, then, you know, there's no challenge to that economic power structure.

01:48:59.000 And it's just not the kind of system that we should want to have.

01:49:02.000 You know, we need to have strong respect for the rule of law and for constitutional law, but we also need, you know, an Adam Smithian kind of economic system.

01:49:10.000 Otherwise, You know, you get power monopolies either on governmental power, or on private power, or these days, the combination of private and public power all in one.

01:49:23.000 All right.

01:49:24.000 Wes Candle says, even if they did get the idea from you, they'd have to steal actual frames of your footage for you to have a claim.

01:49:31.000 Blade Runner used that color palette with statues, and star battles surely exist.

01:49:37.000 Well, how would you... One more time on that one.

01:49:39.000 That one went by too fast.

01:49:40.000 I apologize.

01:49:41.000 Yeah.

01:49:41.000 Wes Candle says, even if they did get the idea from you, they'd have to steal the actual frames of your footage for you to have a claim.

01:49:49.000 Blade Runner used the color palette with statues and star battles surely exists.

01:49:54.000 No, I don't agree with that.

01:49:55.000 I think that, you know, it's a, like I said, it's a kind of overarching analysis that looks

01:50:01.000 all of, at all of the elements together and, you know, I don't think you have to copy particular

01:50:06.000 frames in order to have a case.

01:50:09.000 Stock says wait 10 days and we'll know if it's intentional or coincidence.

01:50:15.000 What would you recommend in terms of something like this?

01:50:16.000 Should you just wait until they publish something that may be infringing, or do you...?

01:50:21.000 Well, I mean, you know, it looks to me like you should raise these questions now because you also don't want to wind up in a spot where you sleep on your rights.

01:50:29.000 That's what people need to understand.

01:50:29.000 Right.

01:50:30.000 I see, you know, people are commenting like, Tim thinks he's all this and all that.

01:50:33.000 It's like, dude, You have a bunch of lawyers when it comes to criminal or civil.

01:50:37.000 They tell you if you don't exercise your rights, you can't defend them later on.

01:50:42.000 So let me just warn all of you guys.

01:50:44.000 If you come to this property because we've had the issue, you will be charged with a felony.

01:50:50.000 I'm not exaggerating.

01:50:51.000 The feds have already been here because of what's been going on.

01:50:54.000 And there are people who think it's a game.

01:50:55.000 So I'm just letting you guys know.

01:50:58.000 Our hands are tied on all of this stuff.

01:51:00.000 Because as a big company, with a bunch of employees, if someone comes and does something, we have to exercise fullest extent legality.

01:51:09.000 To the fullest extent of legalities.

01:51:11.000 Because if there is someone who does a thing that in some way infringes or violates any of our rights and we don't exercise it, we lose claim to it in the future.

01:51:21.000 So with this song, our immediate reaction was, we have to exercise all options.

01:51:24.000 Right.

01:51:24.000 And in terms of your physical safety, right, you know, with your employees, you owe them, you know, certain duties.

01:51:31.000 And, you know, you need to make sure that you, you know, don't just sleep on your creative rights, but, you know, you protect the physical safety of everyone who's part of your enterprise.

01:51:42.000 You know, what's sad is...

01:51:45.000 As our company grows, not a day goes by where I'm not wondering myself or realizing this is exactly why all corporations do the things they do.

01:51:57.000 Because certain laws exist, regulations exist, and it's really fascinating when I learned you couldn't give people money.

01:52:04.000 That was kind of shocking to me.

01:52:05.000 I was like, wow, you can't give people money.

01:52:07.000 Up to $15,000 you can give someone money, but you can't buy your mom a house.

01:52:11.000 You just can't do it.

01:52:13.000 There's ways you can support your family, for sure, but there's, like, you can't hire people at unreasonable rates.

01:52:21.000 You can get investigated.

01:52:22.000 People seem to think that if you have money you can do whatever you want.

01:52:26.000 It's like, man, certainly it is good to have money.

01:52:28.000 No joke.

01:52:29.000 Life is comfortable.

01:52:30.000 But there are a bunch of rules that come into place.

01:52:33.000 If I want to be able to make music and make money off it, if I want to be able to do this show and make money off it, all of a sudden there's crazy, rigid, legal rules we have to follow.

01:52:41.000 When something comes out that people are saying looks like it's a copy, we're like, okay, we have to exercise our rights.

01:52:48.000 Absolutely.

01:52:49.000 100%.

01:52:49.000 Otherwise we could, we risk, you know, losing them, uh, in other places.

01:52:53.000 So that's why this is, this is why, and I'll let you guys know, this is why I'm talking about it publicly on this show, instead of just going to our lawyers and being like, fire away.

01:53:02.000 I was like, no, no, no, we should talk about it.

01:53:03.000 Let everybody know what's happening and how, how we feel about it, because we want to be able to produce content and not be crushed by massive conglomerates like Warner or something like that.

01:53:12.000 That means we do it this way.

01:53:15.000 And, you know, some people say it's, you know, I've been advised maybe we should just file something and not talk about it.

01:53:21.000 But I'm like, I'd rather let people know, you know, what's going on and be transparent to the best of our abilities.

01:53:27.000 But at the same time, assert we will be exercising our rights.

01:53:31.000 I'm wondering if in 10 days it's coming out, the song or something.

01:53:33.000 I don't know.

01:53:33.000 I know the album is released in August.

01:53:36.000 All right.

01:53:38.000 West Candle says, so following up, he says, I've worked on tons of music videos and they were clearly referencing Blade Runner.

01:53:43.000 I like you, Tim, but no one in this industry is passing around your music video for reference.

01:53:48.000 You know, I disagree, especially with people saying, I think they were saying Matt Bellamy was on Alex Jones a year ago?

01:53:53.000 Or something like that?

01:53:54.000 It was multiple years ago.

01:53:55.000 I thought it was back in 2006.

01:53:56.000 Yeah.

01:53:57.000 That he said that he was inspired by Jones to make Uprising.

01:54:01.000 Yeah, I thought he was on Jones in 2016.

01:54:02.000 Yeah, talking about Alex Jones' documentaries and stuff.

01:54:05.000 Yeah, it's been a while.

01:54:06.000 So, if this is a guy who's familiar with this space and he's in politics and he pays attention to anti-establishment voices, yeah, I think it's incredibly likely.

01:54:14.000 Plus, the video's got 1.2 million views.

01:54:16.000 It's not like it's got no views, you know?

01:54:20.000 All right.

01:54:22.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:54:23.000 says, stand your ground, you're effing Tim Pool.

01:54:26.000 I mean, look, here's what I want to say too about the people getting charged for coming here. 0.98

01:54:33.000 That sucks.

01:54:34.000 I never wanted to be in a position where it's like a castle, like a literal one with like fortified walls. 0.76

01:54:40.000 And then you realize you have no choice.

01:54:43.000 Literally, legally, criminally, civilly, we have no choice.

01:54:48.000 If someone steps foot on the property, the first thing that happens is the police come down and that person's getting charged.

01:54:53.000 And I'll just make sure it's clear.

01:54:55.000 There's big no trespassing signs.

01:54:56.000 You walk past that, it's a misdemeanor.

01:54:58.000 There's a physical barrier.

01:54:59.000 You walk around it or past it, it's a felony.

01:55:01.000 Not kidding.

01:55:02.000 And that's all I can say.

01:55:05.000 People need to understand that.

01:55:07.000 And we do have... I'll leave it there because it's a tough circumstance.

01:55:14.000 I always wanted to be accessible.

01:55:15.000 We wanted to do events.

01:55:16.000 We wanted to be like, in the future, we're going to have events that will be members only, and then it'll be semi-private.

01:55:21.000 People started abusing our kindness.

01:55:23.000 People started doing crazy stuff.

01:55:26.000 And the sad thing is, when you're getting 60 million... We were getting like 100 million views during the election.

01:55:31.000 It's crazy, crazy numbers.

01:55:33.000 It takes only one out of a hundred million to be crazy to come here and ruin everything for everybody and hurt somebody.

01:55:39.000 So... Alright, let's grab some more.

01:55:43.000 Lex Avellino says, Shamus, fellow God-fearing brother here, building in the blockchain gaming space, would love to hear more about your game and see if we can add some value.

01:55:51.000 Shot you a tweet, I'm in Virginia too.

01:55:54.000 Yeah, let's see if we can have a conversation.

01:55:54.000 Oh, cool.

01:55:56.000 I'm not sure if you're interested in other stuff with the code.

01:55:58.000 I've basically just been focusing on like story and art.

01:56:01.000 I wouldn't know anything about the kind of code that goes into it or anything that might be associated with the blockchain.

01:56:06.000 But if you want to reach out to Tim and his people, if they're willing to talk, that'd be pretty cool.

01:56:10.000 And also, God bless you.

01:56:11.000 And I'm glad that we have other God-fearing folks out there.

01:56:14.000 We do need blockchain stuff.

01:56:18.000 Oh, cool.

01:56:19.000 Yeah.

01:56:20.000 SpidgeBee says, if you don't defend your copyrights and trademarks, you may as well not have them.

01:56:20.000 Great.

01:56:25.000 Having a reputation for playing aggressively will dissuade other interlopers.

01:56:28.000 Maybe mediate, but theirs can't coexist.

01:56:33.000 Property rights, right?

01:56:34.000 You know, good fences make good neighbors.

01:56:36.000 And so, you know, that's one reason why it's important to make sure that property rights aren't Jerome Morrow says you have to aggressively enforce your copyright.

01:56:44.000 increasing frequency and it's also a reason if you're the holder of a

01:56:47.000 property right even an intellectual property right that you make sure that

01:56:51.000 you're aggressive about protecting it. Jerome Morrow says you have to

01:56:56.000 aggressively enforce your copyright if you don't not only will you lose your

01:56:59.000 right to do so in the future but you'll also be showing the authoritarian woke

01:57:03.000 left an effective attack vector to sabotage your future cultural works that

01:57:06.000 counter their influence. Yep that's basically it you know.

01:57:13.000 Pew Pew Trucker says, you're looking at the Muse song the wrong way.

01:57:16.000 It's a tribute cover.

01:57:17.000 They just want to stand with their idols.

01:57:20.000 Certainly, one way, a lot of people have said, imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

01:57:25.000 That's true, but like, if we have been working on these vocals, and like, I've been screaming into these microphones, writing songs.

01:57:33.000 We've been flying out musicians, some prominent musicians.

01:57:37.000 We've had, on one of the songs, actually on both of them, it's the former drummer from The Offspring.

01:57:42.000 So we're not, like, this is very serious.

01:57:45.000 We're actually negotiating with major labels on this stuff for, like, guest vocalists and singers.

01:57:51.000 I shouldn't have to be publicly announcing our plans to launch this stuff because of what Muse is doing.

01:57:58.000 Regardless of whether or not anyone thinks it's intentional.

01:58:00.000 If someone does a cover song, right, you know, a cover version of a song, that's, you know, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?

01:58:08.000 But if they're taking an original idea you have, especially when it's in the kind of launch phase, and ripping it off, that's theft.

01:58:16.000 Man, times are tough.

01:58:20.000 We have a huge backstory for the universe in the characters of Tales from the Inverted World.

01:58:24.000 I think I've even talked about it on the show.

01:58:26.000 The dictator's name is The Wolf. 0.99

01:58:28.000 There's posters saying, send the pigs to the wolves. 0.56

01:58:31.000 The little boy under the bed is holding a stuffed wolf.

01:58:34.000 The character's arc is...

01:58:37.000 His parents are executed by the dictator that they were calling the pigs, you know, Cochino or whatever.

01:58:43.000 And the last thing this kid had from his parents was a stuffed wolf toy.

01:58:47.000 So as he grew up, he always carried it around with him, had it in his backpack.

01:58:51.000 And so he gained the nickname, the wolf, which was actually a term of endearment because his friends knew what it meant.

01:58:56.000 He was this revolutionary.

01:58:57.000 But when he grows up and becomes the leader of this authoritarian regime, the wolf becomes pejorative.

01:59:03.000 Like we have a whole universe mapped out for this project.

01:59:07.000 And we were like, we wanted a comic, we're talking about movies, no joke.

01:59:11.000 Almost two months ago, discussions on feature film.

01:59:14.000 It's frustrating that it comes to this and I have to now be like, hey, look, here's what we're planning on doing.

01:59:18.000 I hope everybody knows.

01:59:19.000 But that's the reality of it, I suppose.

01:59:21.000 So we'll see where it ends up.

01:59:23.000 Alright, let's grab a couple more Super Chats.

01:59:27.000 Jason Bellick says, I worked with a guy who sued Lil Nas X for copyright.

01:59:31.000 You need an expert on the music industry.

01:59:33.000 I can hook you up.

01:59:35.000 Uh, I appreciate it.

01:59:36.000 We actually have a couple and it's really interesting.

01:59:39.000 Like we've already had some conversations.

01:59:41.000 Obviously, like I said, our company has lawyers that deal with this stuff.

01:59:43.000 Cause you know, we distribute a very large podcast.

01:59:48.000 All right.

01:59:50.000 Rye- Ryan Merce With a Mouth says, There is a video labeled as the leaked song from Muse and the chord structure is identical to your song, but it's not actually a Muse song.

02:00:00.000 It's a song by Oliver Light called Revenge.

02:00:03.000 Well, I've not heard that.

02:00:05.000 My concern right now is with their Will of the People promo that shows, like, a live-action shot-for-shot remake, so.

02:00:12.000 All right. 0.99

02:00:13.000 Leon's Law says, Why are these idiot lawyers advising Tim to do lol suits? 1.00

02:00:19.000 What's a LOL suit? 1.00

02:00:20.000 Like a frivolous LOL?

02:00:22.000 Okay.

02:00:22.000 Yeah.

02:00:23.000 Frivolous, laughable suits that won't go anywhere.

02:00:26.000 I don't think that I've advised you to file a suit.

02:00:28.000 That would be point number one.

02:00:30.000 I don't think he's listening very carefully.

02:00:32.000 I don't think I've even said filing a lawsuit.

02:00:32.000 Right.

02:00:34.000 Yeah, no, you didn't either.

02:00:35.000 This is what happens when you argue with a lawyer over the Super Chat.

02:00:37.000 It's like, I never said, but you notice.

02:00:40.000 If you return to ten minutes and thirty-six seconds into the podcast, you will know what I said.

02:00:48.000 Let's replay the transcript.

02:00:50.000 People don't understand that legal remedies don't necessarily mean lawsuits.

02:00:54.000 It could literally be like, when I say, you know, taking action, it could be like, we write a letter.

02:01:00.000 Like, hey, can we get on the phone real quick?

02:01:03.000 I heard you say that you wanted to raise questions, and I also heard you say that when you said you wanted to raise questions, people immediately hop to the conclusion Well, they didn't steal it from you, which is kind of almost like a consciousness of guilt, or the lady doth protest too much.

02:01:19.000 Right.

02:01:20.000 Well, that was the funny thing, because some people interpreted that as, everybody knows I'm a fan of Muse, and they were like, no, he said he wants to chat with him, he wants to get him on the show.

02:01:30.000 Some people said that.

02:01:31.000 Some people just immediately went, whoa, what?

02:01:35.000 And a bunch of people responded saying, dude, they didn't steal your work.

02:01:38.000 Calm down.

02:01:38.000 And like, I literally said nothing.

02:01:40.000 So projection.

02:01:40.000 Right.

02:01:42.000 You know, it's a point I was making before.

02:01:45.000 When you say something like that, it says more about what your thought process saw already without being prompted.

02:01:51.000 So that was the lol projection.

02:01:53.000 Yep.

02:01:54.000 Yep.

02:01:55.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

02:01:56.000 says, I love the support of your audience.

02:01:58.000 Go IRL team.

02:02:00.000 You know, I thought about this.

02:02:01.000 I'm like, I'm a fan.

02:02:02.000 I'm a big fan of Muse.

02:02:03.000 I can play, you know, a bunch of their songs.

02:02:06.000 It's been a while.

02:02:07.000 I forgot something, but I can, I covered, you know, I could play a bunch of their songs.

02:02:11.000 I've been a fan of them since I was like a teenager, but whether I'm a fan of them or not

02:02:15.000 is immaterial to what's happening now.

02:02:18.000 If some people, if they were like, you inspired them or whatever, I'd be like,

02:02:22.000 if they did see it and they were like, you know, we were inspired by it,

02:02:26.000 I would have appreciated a conversation.

02:02:28.000 But I gotta say all of that's immaterial.

02:02:31.000 The question is, we have to consider our rights.

02:02:35.000 We have to always pursue protecting our rights as a corporation.

02:02:39.000 We don't even have a choice in the matter.

02:02:40.000 It's not like you can't ignore these things.

02:02:42.000 So people need to understand that it's not often, it's not personal.

02:02:45.000 Sometimes it's personal.

02:02:46.000 Sometimes people file lawsuits because they're just mean people.

02:02:48.000 But this is not personal.

02:02:49.000 I'm a fan of Muse.

02:02:50.000 But I'm not going to back down from this project we're working on and the culture we're trying to build.

02:02:55.000 And I've been a musician since I was seven years old.

02:02:57.000 I obviously care about my work.

02:02:59.000 Just because Muse is a massive, you know, stadium-selling out band doesn't mean I'm going to ignore the fact that there's an issue.

02:03:04.000 We'll see what happens.

02:03:05.000 But now you guys heard it from me before anybody else, because I didn't want this to come out like a press story or something and then have people be like, whoa, what's going on?

02:03:12.000 But that being said, my friends, smash the like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, head over to TimCast.com.

02:03:18.000 We're going to start recording that members-only podcast for you guys, which will be up around 11 or so p.m.

02:03:22.000 You can follow me at TimCast IRL.

02:03:24.000 You can follow the show at TimCast IRL.

02:03:27.000 Follow me personally at TimCast.

02:03:28.000 And you can check out Will of the People on YouTube, which has been up since November 2nd.

02:03:32.000 Watch the video.

02:03:33.000 It's a short film.

02:03:34.000 I think most of you will really appreciate it if you like the politics of this show.

02:03:37.000 And we have, on my Instagram, some demos of the next songs that are coming out.

02:03:43.000 On youtube.com slash castcastle, we actually show part of the production process with the songs we're working on.

02:03:50.000 Some of these are rough cuts, and they don't sound all that good.

02:03:54.000 Just keep that in mind.

02:03:55.000 And the songs are going to get mastered, and they're going to be top quality.

02:03:57.000 Really, really good stuff.

02:03:58.000 So, appreciate it.

02:03:59.000 Alex, you want to show anything else?

02:04:01.000 Yeah, I'm going to get yelled at if I don't do that.

02:04:03.000 So I have a book coming out.

02:04:05.000 It's published by Post Hill Press.

02:04:07.000 It comes out April 26.

02:04:08.000 It's called Winning the Social Media War, How Conservatives Can Fight Back, Reclaim the Narrative, and Turn the Tides Against the Left.

02:04:15.000 And we talk about a lot of the stuff that we talked about tonight, including the mass formation psychosis that takes place online, the censorship, Hunter Biden's laptop plays a key role in the rigging of the election.

02:04:25.000 And so we lay that out in there very nicely.

02:04:28.000 We interviewed Dozens of leading conservatives, including Donald Trump Jr., Charlie Kirk, even politicians like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Senator Rick Scott, was gracious enough to give us some time.

02:04:37.000 And so it's an awesome book.

02:04:39.000 Some say it's the greatest book of all time, just past the Bible and the art of the deal.

02:04:45.000 And so, unbiasedly, I agree with them.

02:04:48.000 So, winning the Social Media Awards and Barnes & Noble, Amazon, all the major booksellers.

02:04:56.000 Sheamus Cogman.

02:04:59.000 I'm not going to mess with the lawyer, all right?

02:05:00.000 You go ahead and have your spot.

02:05:02.000 Maybe I'll have to consider suing you, Sheamus. 0.97

02:05:05.000 He didn't say he was going to sue me.

02:05:07.000 He said he was going to consider suing me for everyone listening at home.

02:05:09.000 Very good.

02:05:11.000 Real quick, real quick.

02:05:12.000 Someone said in Super Chats, you guys should call your games division Tim Tendo.

02:05:16.000 Haha.

02:05:17.000 Defend yourself fiercely.

02:05:18.000 Could we do that?

02:05:19.000 Uh, Shimtendo.

02:05:20.000 No, no, no, no, legitimate question.

02:05:22.000 If we formed a company called Timtendo for our video games... I'm not advising you to, theoretically.

02:05:29.000 I think I'd have to analyze that question very carefully, Tim.

02:05:33.000 Good lawyer response.

02:05:34.000 Yes.

02:05:35.000 I kind of feel like I wouldn't get away with it.

02:05:37.000 Especially if we got big.

02:05:39.000 Nintendo would be like, get out of here.

02:05:41.000 You might get a threatening letter at the very least.

02:05:43.000 Yeah.

02:05:45.000 You can sue a ham sandwich, it doesn't mean you're going to win.

02:05:47.000 That's right.

02:05:47.000 So one thing people need to realize too is if someone's got the resources and they're just like, I don't like what you're doing, I'll bury you.

02:05:52.000 They can just throw money at you.

02:05:53.000 And the January 6th committee is doing that to, you know, to everybody that ever stood by President Trump right now.

02:05:59.000 They're doing that exact same thing.

02:06:00.000 There's nothing that they can be investigating that's actually legitimate and so their goal is to financially harm anybody.

02:06:06.000 I'm $90,000 deep in legal fees already and all I had to do is tell them to F off.

02:06:12.000 I used my second favorite F word, Fifth Amendment, 102 times in 46 minutes.

02:06:17.000 I wanted to use my first favorite F word.

02:06:19.000 Uh, which I'm not going to say because I'm a classy gentleman right now.

02:06:22.000 Um, but I mean, they're doing this evil things to evil people.

02:06:25.000 I know my friend, uh, Jeff's also been looped into what they're doing too, but you made a great point.

02:06:31.000 You can sue anybody for anything.

02:06:32.000 You can make anybody, uh, you know, go through the trouble of getting attorneys just, just for the hell of it.

02:06:38.000 And it's a dangerous tactic.

02:06:40.000 It's like poker.

02:06:41.000 If you've got the weight, you can pressure somebody and even force them to back down.

02:06:44.000 Even big corporations, they'll often just be like, I'll pay you what you want and go away.

02:06:48.000 You know?

02:06:49.000 Yeah, and that's what most people that have been subpoenaed by the January 6th Committee have done.

02:06:52.000 They've kind of taken the subpoena and they're like, oh my gosh, I want to do what I can and take everything because I just can't afford it.

02:06:59.000 And kind of similarly to you, I think a lot of people pick on you because they don't understand how big you are, right?

02:07:05.000 You have 60 million viewers.

02:07:06.000 It's a substantial I mean, we were just rated the 25th fastest-growing company in the southeastern United States for private companies, and most people go to our website.

02:07:16.000 I'm like, oh my God, they have a Wix website from 2018, which we do.

02:07:19.000 We just never really cared about our website, and so I'm going to stand up to this commission and tell them to F off because they're dangerous and I say they picked the wrong fight.

02:07:29.000 And so now, if you guys can, find the January 6th Committee's phone number, call them and ask them to drag me in for the public show trials because I'd love for them to do that.

02:07:40.000 It'd be a lot of fun because I could use some at least free publicity with the tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees I've spent.

02:07:46.000 Right on.

02:07:47.000 Wow.

02:07:49.000 I have a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes.

02:07:51.000 We make cartoons.

02:07:52.000 We release one cartoon every week, sometimes two a week.

02:07:55.000 We got one shouted out in the comment section here.

02:07:57.000 It's a video Tim and I did about Dr. Fauci.

02:08:00.000 He's very sad that he's not getting the attention anymore, so won't you go over to Freedom Tunes and watch the cartoons we just uploaded with him in them.

02:08:08.000 It would really mean a lot to him.

02:08:09.000 And also, we did a cartoon on the Oscars from last year.

02:08:12.000 I was very happy.

02:08:14.000 I think it's a funny cartoon, so if you guys want to check that one out as well, I think you'd enjoy it.

02:08:20.000 Your microphone's off.

02:08:24.000 Yep, your microphone's off.

02:08:25.000 Oh, there we go.

02:08:26.000 Oh, I am there.

02:08:26.000 There we go.

02:08:27.000 I muted myself.

02:08:28.000 I just want to be quiet.

02:08:29.000 I just want to say that our guest, Jeff, was a former Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resource Division under Trump.

02:08:36.000 I realize that we didn't fully introduce him.

02:08:38.000 He's also a lawyer, which is why we were looking for his expertise this evening.

02:08:41.000 Thank you, Jeff, for pitching in.

02:08:42.000 Appreciate that.

02:08:43.000 Thank you very much.

02:08:44.000 And I also wanted to say, we mentioned a website that was for looking for non-woke jobs. 0.86

02:08:50.000 That site is down.

02:08:51.000 Unwoke.hr is gone.

02:08:52.000 They got hacked.

02:08:53.000 They were off the air in like a day, which is really kind of annoying.

02:08:57.000 But there's another site called redballoon.org.

02:08:59.000 It's very small, but on it you can go and find like freedom-oriented employers, people who are looking for maybe unvaccinated employees, which is kind of interesting to me.

02:09:08.000 Anyway, that was just what I found over the course of the show.

02:09:10.000 You guys may follow me on Twitter and Minds.com at SourPatchLids.

02:09:14.000 I also have SourPatchLids.me where you can go to find all my socials if you're interested.

02:09:20.000 Can I make a quick two plugs?

02:09:22.000 So please follow me on Twitter at JeffClarkUS.

02:09:27.000 And also, in light of the issues that Alex was talking about, I have a legal defense fund actually, you know, in terms of the numbers that are being mounted up for my personal legal bills at GiveSendGo.com slash Jeff Clark.

02:09:43.000 I'd appreciate any help.

02:09:45.000 Right on! 0.80

02:09:46.000 We will see everybody over at TimCast.com in that member segment.
