Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Biden INDICTS Whistleblower Who Exposed Biden Family Corruption w-Natalie Winters

00:00:00.000 I guess it's unsurprising to report this story.

00:00:25.000 The DOJ is filing multiple indictments against the whistleblower who alleged Biden received payments from the CCP.

00:00:32.000 That is to say, the Biden administration is going after the guy blowing the whistle on the corruption in the Biden family.

00:00:37.000 Is anyone shocked to hear that story?

00:00:40.000 Considering what they're doing and going after Donald Trump, I am not surprised in the least bit.

00:00:44.000 So we will talk about that.

00:00:45.000 Plus, we've got a bunch of other stories.

00:00:47.000 Oh man, this one's hilarious.

00:00:48.000 Jack White, you know he's the guitar player from the White Stripes, he's losing it because there's a video of Joe Rogan meeting Donald Trump and shaking his hand.

00:00:55.000 That's it.

00:00:56.000 Joe Rogan at UFC shook Donald Trump's hand, smiled, and they talked for like 10 seconds and that was it.

00:01:02.000 And he's got this post about Mel Gibbs and all these people.

00:01:04.000 We definitely gotta talk about Trump Derangement Syndrome.

00:01:06.000 We're gonna talk about the presidential election, we gotta talk about What's going on with the Bidens and Ron DeSantis?

00:01:12.000 There's some fake news about Ron DeSantis, where many people were claiming that DeSantis argued Trump colluded with Big Tech, and that is fake reporting.

00:01:21.000 DeSantis said Trump should have fired the intelligence agencies that were doing this.

00:01:25.000 There's some nuance here, whether or not Trump knew, but I can say the media is lying about it, so we'll definitely talk about that.

00:02:32.000 Who are you?

00:02:32.000 What do you do?

00:02:33.000 I am the co-host of Steve Bannon's War Room.

00:02:35.000 This is my second time on the show here, and I used to be an investigative reporter at the National Pulse.

00:02:40.000 It's really convenient you're here, too, with this Biden-DOJ stuff, because you know a ton about it.

00:02:44.000 Meant to be.

00:02:44.000 Absolutely.

00:02:45.000 Right on with this.

00:02:45.000 I feel bad for the guy, but yes.

00:02:47.000 Yes.

00:02:54.000 Hey, I'm Hannah Clare Brimla.

00:02:56.000 I'm a writer for TimCast.com.

00:02:57.000 And I'm Ian Crossland.

00:02:58.000 What's up, everybody?

00:02:59.000 Good to see you on this beautiful Monday.

00:03:01.000 Let's get ready.

00:03:02.000 Yes, it is a good day.

00:03:03.000 What's up, Ian?

00:03:04.000 What's up, everybody?

00:03:05.000 It's Kellen.

00:03:05.000 I'm filling in for Serge tonight.

00:03:07.000 Let's get started.

00:03:08.000 Here's the story from the Post Millennial.

00:03:10.000 DOJ announces multiple indictments against whistleblower who alleged Biden received payments from CCP affiliated individuals.

00:03:19.000 I just I love this story because it's kind of obvious.

00:03:22.000 It's just so on the nose, like, hey, I'm a guy who says that there's corruption happening with Joe Biden, and then Joe Biden's like, you're under arrest.

00:03:29.000 It's just really that simple.

00:03:30.000 The DOJ has announced multiple indictments against Dr. Gal Luft, the Israeli-American co-head of a Maryland think tank who gained notoriety As the missing witness in the investigation into Joe Biden's corruption, the New York Post recently shared a video of Luft wherein he broke down the allegations made against Biden and claimed that he'd been arrested to prevent him from testifying to the House Oversight Committee with damning evidence against the First Family.

00:03:56.000 Now, long after coming out as a whistleblower, Luft himself has been charged by the Biden DOJ for allegedly engaging in multiple serious schemes involving the Chinese and Iranians alongside a former high-ranking U.S.

00:04:08.000 government official.

00:04:09.000 The charges include numerous offenses related to failing to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, arms trafficking, Iranian sanctions violations, and making false statements to federal agents.

00:04:20.000 Wouldn't Hunter Biden have to do the same thing with FARA as well?

00:04:23.000 But I don't know if there's more to this story or what's going on.

00:04:25.000 I don't know if you have a bigger view of this, Natalie.

00:04:27.000 Sure.

00:04:28.000 Well, there is nothing more hypocritical than coming after him for not registering with the Foreign Agent Registration Act as someone who has read FARA too many times.

00:04:35.000 I joke I'm probably the only American who frequents that website.

00:04:39.000 Hunter Biden's name is never on there, even though it should be, not just for China, but also for Ukraine, also for Iraq.

00:04:45.000 Also, for Russia, you name it, the list goes on.

00:04:47.000 But it's important to remember that this is just one of several whistleblowers.

00:04:52.000 If you remember James Comer, who's leading these investigations for the House, he said that there are about 10 whistleblowers, seven of them They don't know what happened to them.

00:05:01.000 They just couldn't find them.

00:05:03.000 Two of them had been indicted and the other, if you remember, he was giving an interview.

00:05:06.000 I think it was on Fox.

00:05:07.000 He's like, we think they may be dead. 0.95

00:05:09.000 So keep in mind that even though the story is absolutely ridiculous, it's all the ridiculous more 10 times over because there are so many people like him. 0.85

00:05:17.000 Have you guys seen that crazy video where the woman on the plane is like screaming about how the dude's not real or something? 0.83

00:05:23.000 I don't know what that was all about.

00:05:24.000 I read something where she said, like, apparently people were like, she claims the guy winked sideways or something like that.

00:05:30.000 I have no idea.

00:05:31.000 But I was watching that, and after just seeing all of these different conspiracy theories, at this point, I'm, like, ready to believe her that, like, a lizard person was on the plane.

00:05:39.000 I'm kidding, by the way.

00:05:40.000 But what I mean, I bring it up because you hear the story and it's like, well, some of the whistleblowers may be dead.

00:05:44.000 We don't know where these ones are.

00:05:45.000 This guy's being criminally charged after calling out the Bidens and, you know, accusing them of corruption.

00:05:50.000 And I'm just like, Yeah, it's probably true.

00:05:53.000 Like the Bidens are doing this, and they're panicking and frantically trying to cover things up.

00:05:57.000 Because what's, what's the simple solution here?

00:05:59.000 That all of these whistleblowers, witnesses, every story, every video, every claim, every text message, it's all part of some Russian plot to discredit the Bidens?

00:06:07.000 Sorry, probably not the case.

00:06:09.000 It's so bold, and it's so in your face.

00:06:10.000 And I think it sort of proves in some ways, the guilt of the Biden family.

00:06:14.000 What I mean by that is that the same family that is so willing to issue indictments against people who are Obviously, calling the whistle, calling them out for their actions with hard, cold facts, real evidence.

00:06:26.000 Of course they would be bold and brash enough to take money from the Chinese Communist Party while Joe Biden is in office and think they could get away with it. 0.99

00:06:32.000 I think it just shows you the mindset of this family and, frankly, how offensive it is to the American people that they think that they can get away with doing it and that people like us are dumb enough to just, oh, he's crazy. 0.92

00:06:44.000 To be fair, imagine what it must be like to be in the Biden family, and you're getting all this negative attention, and they're going like, the Clintons did it? 0.96

00:06:52.000 Why are you mad at us?

00:06:53.000 We're just following an American tradition.

00:06:57.000 How can you take away our culture from us?

00:06:59.000 This is our right as your elite.

00:07:00.000 I don't understand.

00:07:01.000 Yeah, the Clinton Global Initiative and the Clinton Foundation, all that good stuff.

00:07:04.000 Yeah.

00:07:05.000 I think that the Bidens were looking at that level of influence peddling, and Joe being fairly incompetent.

00:07:12.000 I mean, to be fair, like, fairly competent.

00:07:13.000 He's made it pretty far.

00:07:14.000 He was a senator for a long time.

00:07:15.000 He was in politics for 50 years.

00:07:16.000 So he's not completely bad at what he does.

00:07:19.000 But he's not on the Clinton level. 0.98

00:07:21.000 You know, Hillary Clinton, she's a special kind of witch. 1.00

00:07:23.000 You know what I mean? 0.99

00:07:24.000 Like, she was able to pull it off.

00:07:25.000 Congratulations to her and all of the awful things she did.

00:07:29.000 But she got away with it.

00:07:30.000 She chucked her hard drives into the Potomac, Hunter Biden, brought it to a repair shop in Delaware.

00:07:36.000 And I think that sort of was the fuse that lit a lot of this off because the American people, I think that's maybe to some where some of the frustration comes from with the lack of accountability and investigations and really indictments, at least from House Republicans going after people who are involved in the whole Hunter Biden crime ring is because the American people are sort of getting this like sense of deja vu.

00:07:57.000 Because through this hard drive, through investigative journalism and actual media reports, they've known about all this.

00:08:02.000 Like, Gal Luft is a name who's been around for a really long time.

00:08:05.000 He's on the hard drive.

00:08:06.000 These are stories that are sort of just resurfacing, and I think that's why it's all the more curious why they're indicting them now.

00:08:13.000 Because Gal Luft, all these types, were saying these things and have been for a very long time.

00:08:19.000 The hard drive has been out there for a while.

00:08:21.000 We've written stories.

00:08:22.000 War Room has talked A lot about people like Gal Luft, all the other whistleblowers, the names that are on the hard drive.

00:08:27.000 So I think it's curious.

00:08:28.000 It's like, why now?

00:08:29.000 I think that same logic applies to why are they going after Hunter Biden on taxes now?

00:08:33.000 Like, what's the timing?

00:08:34.000 Well, I gotta ask for clarification.

00:08:36.000 You said she threw her hard drives into the Potomac.

00:08:39.000 Considering how crazy the story's been, was that was that literal or you just mean figuratively?

00:08:43.000 I guess I'm metaphorical there, but my point is... Because she had them smashed with hammers, the phone smashed with hammers. 1.00

00:08:51.000 I guess it's too euphemistic to say they threw it at the Potomac.

00:08:55.000 I'm sure that at least one technological device that belongs to the Clinton family has been thrown, in some capacity, into the Potomac.

00:09:03.000 I will go on record with that.

00:09:05.000 I think it's a fair assumption.

00:09:07.000 What we do literally know is that the hard drives were purged with bleach bit, and aides for the Clinton smashed phones with hammers to try and get rid of it.

00:09:17.000 That doesn't do anything, by the way. 0.98

00:09:18.000 It's like the stupidest attempt at getting rid of data. 0.98

00:09:20.000 But yeah, I mean, that's exactly what they did. 1.00

00:09:24.000 So I wonder if the bigger issue with the Bidens is that they're just sloppy, inexperienced, and incompetent when it comes to being corrupt. 0.82

00:09:29.000 I think there is a lack of discipline there. 0.91

00:09:31.000 Crack, we'll make that, we'll do that.

00:09:32.000 Yeah, you think that's it?

00:09:33.000 Yeah.

00:09:34.000 Lack of familial leadership and crack cocaine really just ruins your ability to be a completely corrupt family.

00:09:40.000 I mean, we know in early June, Ana Paulina Luna tweeted about this FBI The FBI is afraid the whistleblower will die if he is unmasked, which seemed crazy.

00:09:52.000 And also we all laughed because it was like, are you saying you guys would attack this person?

00:09:57.000 Like, it didn't make any sense.

00:09:58.000 But at the same time, it's exactly what this, the simplest explanation is probably what it is, that there is some kind of Yeah.

00:10:05.000 Sorry, kid.

00:10:05.000 pressure from the Biden administration to silence anyone who is going to oppose them or challenge

00:10:10.000 anything they have. I mean, the Biden family lies to your face constantly. How many grandchildren

00:10:16.000 does Joe Biden have? Because he just pretends one is an extra one. Yeah, well, we don't talk about

00:10:20.000 that one. Not allowed to use the last name, therefore not real. I mean, this Yeah, his the

00:10:25.000 Hunter Biden's daughter was a kid or something. Yeah, sorry, kid. Was it a prostitute? It's a 1.00

00:10:30.000 prostitute. He then tried to like lie about like he had her. 0.99

00:10:33.000 He hired her to his foundation and he denied it.

00:10:35.000 There was a paternity test.

00:10:36.000 They just settled their child support case.

00:10:40.000 And one of the stipulations that he had was, this child cannot use my name.

00:10:44.000 I will pay a certain amount of money for it, but I will not acknowledge it anyway.

00:10:48.000 That's like old monarchy tactics.

00:10:50.000 It's crazy.

00:10:51.000 So that's how the Biden family views themselves, that you were supposed to accept that even when it's completely confirmed that something is wrong, you're supposed to ignore it because they asked you to.

00:11:01.000 Seems crazy to me.

00:11:02.000 The guy that they were afraid, the whistleblower they thought was going to die, was that this guy?

00:11:07.000 They were like, we've got to hide his identity because we're afraid he's going to get killed.

00:11:09.000 Is that the guy?

00:11:10.000 I don't think they clarified on that whistleblower.

00:11:13.000 They said they were worried if the identity of the whistleblower got out, they would die.

00:11:15.000 Sometimes the cohesion on the messaging from our Deerhouse Republican friends, not always on the same level.

00:11:22.000 sometimes there's some confusion about who they're talking about, but that had to do

00:11:26.000 when they were unearthing new evidence about a whole pay for play scheme that had to do

00:11:30.000 with Romania. It wasn't explicitly linked to that pay for play, because there's a lot

00:11:36.000 of pay for play. There's a lot of countries, there's a lot of people involved. But I also

00:11:39.000 think to to your point, why we've seen so many whistleblowers, especially on this front,

00:11:45.000 and this again is me speculating, but the whole Clinton operation, I think, was very

00:11:50.000 seamless and well run in the sense that the people who were in it, it was a tight ship.

00:11:56.000 With the Biden regime, what they were doing, it seems like a lot of these people, it wasn't so much ideological, they were just in it for the money.

00:12:03.000 And you can see that on the hard drive.

00:12:04.000 You can see that in the emails.

00:12:05.000 It was just, we have a chance to exploit the vice president's son.

00:12:09.000 And I think that's why you've seen a lot of these people sort of turn on the Biden family now, those that haven't been dissuaded by stories like this.

00:12:16.000 And I think that might be why they're actually trying to come out so forcefully, because they know deep down, The people like Eric Schwerin, the Devon Archers of the world, basically all of Hunter Biden's, you know, Yale classmates and peers and roommates, they were just on the money team, right?

00:12:32.000 It wasn't like, oh, we want to spread democracy abroad, you know, we want to do whatever the Uniparty wants to do and all these kinds of things.

00:12:40.000 No, they just wanted to turn a profit and those people, I think, are very easily Turned with the threat of Oh, well, you're gonna spend the rest of your life in jail if you don't tell us so that's why if you do read through the headlines like a lot of these people behind the scenes have been complying with either off the record or on the record interviews with Congress, but

00:13:02.000 It's sort of a painful process, I think, time-wise to let that work, let it work itself out.

00:13:07.000 My view of the Biden family is like, it's like Arrested Development.

00:13:11.000 Yeah.

00:13:12.000 For real.

00:13:12.000 You know, like Biden sat down with Hunter and he was, and he's just like, what did you do?

00:13:16.000 And he's like, Dad!

00:13:17.000 I was smoking crack.

00:13:18.000 I don't remember.

00:13:19.000 This is so much the Internet because the Clintons didn't have the Internet.

00:13:23.000 The Internet didn't exist back then really.

00:13:24.000 Now it's all just people are finding it.

00:13:27.000 People are finding out what's happening if this has gone on with the Clintons.

00:13:29.000 Especially since he recorded himself.

00:13:30.000 Yeah.

00:13:31.000 Hunter in particular.

00:13:31.000 Saying I'm in business with the effing spy chief of China.

00:13:34.000 But to your point you know the Axios story that they had come out today where they're like Joe Biden is Mr. Strongman.

00:13:39.000 I just pulled that up.

00:13:41.000 I would love, again, I'm sure it's not true.

00:13:43.000 He's like the old man in The Simpsons screaming at the cloud.

00:13:46.000 I don't think he knows what's going on.

00:13:47.000 I think mood swings are part of Alzheimer's.

00:13:48.000 Sure.

00:13:49.000 I don't want to give out bad medical information.

00:13:51.000 I do think that's part of it.

00:13:51.000 No, that says it in the article.

00:13:52.000 Dimension.

00:13:54.000 Imagine though, say, take that story at face value.

00:13:56.000 Imagine how he would be screaming at Hunter Biden.

00:13:59.000 Let me pull this story up from Axios.

00:14:02.000 I just want to say that I got to give a shout out to Axios for one upping the New York Post in their pun game.

00:14:10.000 Old yeller, Biden's private fury.

00:14:12.000 Bravo Axios.

00:14:14.000 Solid.

00:14:14.000 Had to add a little bit of insult to that.

00:14:16.000 So this look at this picture of Joe Biden.

00:14:18.000 It's like it's like the dark Brandon meme.

00:14:21.000 Basically, the gist of the story is very, very simple.

00:14:24.000 They're arguing that privately, Joe Biden's screaming at people, insulting them, saying, don't effing BS me, get the F out of here, and that they claim that if he doesn't yell at you, in fact, he doesn't respect you.

00:14:34.000 Here's what I actually think.

00:14:36.000 No one is safe, said one official.

00:14:39.000 One view of this is that they're putting this story out there to make it seem like Joe Biden is spry.

00:14:48.000 Because he's not.

00:14:48.000 Because here's what's going to happen.

00:14:50.000 A lot of regular people who don't watch shows like this, who don't watch clips of Joe Biden, are going to imagine him as this energetic guy being like, hey, you tell me, I'll tell you. 0.98

00:15:03.000 They are secondhand trying to convince us that Joe Biden's a hard ass. 0.61

00:15:07.000 I'm not going to buy it because I've seen Vidism falling up the stairs, but this is what they're trying to do. 1.00

00:15:11.000 Today he got lost on stage and had to be guided by the King of England.

00:15:15.000 It's not great.

00:15:16.000 I mean, also it's giving Trump on The Apprentice, right?

00:15:19.000 Like we already have a strong leader in politics.

00:15:21.000 There's someone else whose personality you said was too intense for this.

00:15:24.000 I think what gets me about the Biden family is If you're going to be corrupt, you have to secure your legacy for maintaining influence when you can no longer be in the public positions of power, right?

00:15:33.000 So, like, I don't know, but maybe the Clinton Foundation, for example.

00:15:36.000 That would be a way to continue to have influence after the fact.

00:15:39.000 But right now, with the Bidens, I don't know of any kind of non-profit that they successfully run.

00:15:46.000 There's no heir apparent.

00:15:47.000 Obviously, tragically, Bo was Apparently the best kid and also passed away first.

00:15:53.000 And then we have his daughter and we have Hunter who neither one of them are going to launch political campaigns soon.

00:15:57.000 So it's not like the Bush family where there was a son, a couple of them coming up through the ranks.

00:16:01.000 I mean, if Joe Biden is really in cognitive decline, this is the end of them.

00:16:07.000 You think they would embrace the grandkid?

00:16:09.000 They need as much as they can get.

00:16:12.000 Seriously, she's from middle America, she's from Arkansas. 1.00

00:16:15.000 But I was going to say, there's nowhere to go, so why wouldn't everyone bail out on them, to your point?

00:16:20.000 They don't have any loyalty to the power, they have loyalty to the money.

00:16:24.000 I'd even link this story to the hard drive and what I mean by that is, when I was doing a lot of my early reporting on the hard drive, the people that I was working on it with, we would always sit around and joke, you know, these are the stories that they're eventually going to use to impeach Joe Biden with, right?

00:16:39.000 And if you saw the last two weeks or so, there's definitely been more media attention given to the Hunter Biden hard drive and what's going on there and the people who are involved, even it cuts through the mainstream media Occasionally.

00:16:53.000 And I think that a lot of this media war that we're seeing duke out is sort of between the Democratic establishment like the DNC and Joe Biden in terms of trying to determine who the candidate is going to be for 2024.

00:17:05.000 And I think a lot of the people who don't want Joe Biden to run again are playing up the hard drive stuff to try to take him out of the running.

00:17:12.000 And I think this in some ways is maybe the Biden camp saying like, No, Joe Biden is in control.

00:17:16.000 He's in He yelled at people.

00:17:18.000 By the way, the best part of the article, if you read down the bullet point, where he's like, he gets really mad at all the Yale-educated staffers using acronyms.

00:17:27.000 I was like, it's so fake.

00:17:29.000 It's so, it's so feigns.

00:17:30.000 Because you cannot remember the acronyms.

00:17:32.000 Yeah.

00:17:32.000 Maybe.

00:17:33.000 Don't use UN.

00:17:34.000 Yeah.

00:17:35.000 What does that mean?

00:17:36.000 I have forgotten.

00:17:38.000 He's probably just sitting there going, huh, whatcha, ahhh!

00:17:41.000 And they're just like, oh, he's getting ornery again.

00:17:43.000 I would get frustrated if I were constantly confused, too.

00:17:46.000 That's not fun.

00:17:47.000 But this is the sad thing about Joe Biden.

00:17:49.000 One of the signs of someone suffering from dementia is anger.

00:17:55.000 Because what happens to the person when they can't remember and they can't understand what's happening, it's frustrating for people.

00:18:02.000 It's, you know, you're sitting here and people are saying words you don't understand, you can't remember, and you're getting angry with yourself, like, why can't I remember what they're talking about?

00:18:08.000 You just get mad and you just outburst.

00:18:10.000 So this happens to a lot of older people when they get frustrated with being unable to deal with the situation.

00:18:15.000 Because, I mean, for most of our lives, our wits are about us.

00:18:19.000 You know, we can respond, we can react.

00:18:20.000 Sometimes we don't know things, it's fine.

00:18:22.000 But imagine knowing you know it, but you can't recall it.

00:18:25.000 It's just so frustrating to lose that control.

00:18:27.000 It's sad, really.

00:18:29.000 But I gotta say, as sad as it may be, like, dude should not be president.

00:18:32.000 Yeah, it's also this is just like, I think it's a derivation of his actual

00:18:38.000 personality, which according to who's this? Jeff can opt in a former Biden

00:18:42.000 campaign and sent a Senate aide, Chief of Staff to Kaufman when he filled Biden

00:18:46.000 seat in the Senate said that he was that Biden was an ego mania, you know, maniacal

00:18:50.000 autocrat determined to manage the staff through fear. This guy's got a reputation

00:18:54.000 of being a real nasty guy. I mean, there's a video of him being if they are found

00:18:58.000 And with this much crack, you will serve.

00:19:03.000 I don't know what his minimum years in prison was that he didn't do to Hunter when Hunter- I like that video because then someone cut it so that there were clips of Hunter Biden in between.

00:19:12.000 He's like, you hear Joe Biden's voice being like, this is on, you know, you'll go to jail.

00:19:17.000 Meanwhile, it's like his Hunter's Home movies.

00:19:19.000 I don't know.

00:19:20.000 Yeah, he's like smoking.

00:19:23.000 You're like, I feel like if only your father could.

00:19:25.000 Yeah, but come on.

00:19:26.000 Come on.

00:19:26.000 Hold on.

00:19:26.000 Like, could you imagine being under Biden and you're driving down the street smoking crack and he's thinking, man, life is good.

00:19:33.000 And the Porsche takes a nice new way to take a picture to make sure he saves that memory.

00:19:37.000 But doesn't that, like, speak to the complete arrogance of this family that Hunter Biden could drop his laptop off at a- at a just normal repair shop and think, nothing bad can happen to me, I am too important and too powerful.

00:19:50.000 Oh, I bet Joe has said to Hunter, and I don't know, probably like, I'll take care of whatever I got at Hunter.

00:19:55.000 I bet it's already happened!

00:19:55.000 And Joe probably gets off on that, he's probably like, I'm so powerful, I can- I can protect the weak.

00:20:00.000 No, no, I bet he loves it. 1.00

00:20:03.000 I bet Joe goes to Hunter and says, you're a worthless, stupid little piece of ass. 1.00

00:20:06.000 He probably does that too. 1.00

00:20:08.000 And he's like, but I'll take care of it, don't worry.

00:20:09.000 No, he didn't say that.

00:20:10.000 The abusive and then savior.

00:20:11.000 He says, the only reason I'm taking care of it is because I get the 10% cut and don't you forget it.

00:20:17.000 Do you think he's that straightforward with him?

00:20:19.000 Absolutely.

00:20:20.000 When there were those leaked messages where it's like, dad takes your salary or whatever that was all about.

00:20:24.000 What is that?

00:20:25.000 Like Joe takes the salaries from his kids or something?

00:20:27.000 He like controls their lives, allegedly.

00:20:30.000 And didn't- this is something that his daughter referenced in her diary that got published, right?

00:20:34.000 Like that their dad is controlling that he controls their finances.

00:20:37.000 I thought it was a text message from Hunter that said something like- I think there is a Hunter thing and I'm saying there's also this thing in the bio- which would mean that theoretically both of his kids are confirming that this is a controlled family.

00:20:47.000 Which either means that he does not think his adult children can handle themselves or that there is a very strange imbalance of power in this family.

00:20:54.000 Which might explain, again, why there's Yeah, that's one way to put it.

00:20:57.000 family to go. There's no one to take over. There's no clear direction. So when though they have

00:21:02.000 garnered a lot of influence, ultimately, people will bail out of the ship.

00:21:08.000 Yeah, that's one way to put it. Yeah, yeah, when people turn on the hated.

00:21:16.000 He, there's one thing that we're missing with Joe Biden is modern

00:21:20.000 video of him just being normal and talking to people like in his regular environment. 0.98

00:21:26.000 It's all curated speech crap. 0.74

00:21:29.000 Like, I don't even know what his personality's like, to be honest. 0.97

00:21:31.000 I've never really seen him chill and, like, have a long conversation.

00:21:33.000 Because he just plagiarizes things.

00:21:35.000 Yeah, literally, he dropped out of the 1988 run for presidency because he was plagiarizing, got caught plagiarizing.

00:21:41.000 Man, those were the days, though, you know?

00:21:43.000 You could literally say whatever you wanted because you couldn't fact-check anything.

00:21:46.000 Because he's like, what do you mean there's no internet?

00:21:48.000 Yeah.

00:21:48.000 And then someone was like, hey, that's the exact verbatim quote from this other guy.

00:21:51.000 He's like, oh, I'm caught.

00:21:52.000 That's the funny thing, though.

00:21:53.000 What if Biden was just like, no, it's not.

00:21:55.000 How are you gonna prove it?

00:21:56.000 The media would be like, oh, well, it turns out that Joe Biden said it first, time traveled, then this other guy ripped him off, and then Joe Biden went back in time.

00:22:04.000 They would bend to his will.

00:22:06.000 Today, we can play videos and prove a thing is false.

00:22:09.000 Back then, it's just like, what, Biden would say a thing, the media would be like, not true, and he'd go like, ah, you got me.

00:22:15.000 Why wouldn't you just be like the media?

00:22:17.000 No, like, that's my speech.

00:22:19.000 Have a nice day.

00:22:20.000 No one's gonna hear it.

00:22:21.000 I mean, here's the crazy thing.

00:22:22.000 Why did he drop out of the race?

00:22:25.000 I guess they had proof, because they'll play video of him talking with, like, Robert F. Kennedy talking, and he's, like, saying the same stuff.

00:22:32.000 I guess they had that technology.

00:22:34.000 It was good enough.

00:22:34.000 Wait, he's doing that now?

00:22:36.000 Well, I don't know.

00:22:36.000 No, that was from 1988.

00:22:38.000 But now they'll still tell you that they didn't say it right after they said it, and there's video proof that they said it.

00:22:44.000 Who else was running that year?

00:22:45.000 I mean, I think part of it might just be that he didn't have the institutional prowess to stay in the race.

00:22:50.000 No one was going to back him up.

00:22:52.000 That could be it.

00:22:52.000 I haven't looked into it.

00:22:54.000 1988, what was that, Dukakis and George Bush Sr., I think?

00:22:58.000 I think it was Michael Dukakis.

00:22:59.000 Might be.

00:23:00.000 Yeah, it was.

00:23:00.000 That was a Democratic guy.

00:23:02.000 I was too.

00:23:03.000 It was a boring time to be alive.

00:23:05.000 I wasn't around.

00:23:06.000 I don't know.

00:23:07.000 I will study my US history and get back to you.

00:23:09.000 I watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

00:23:11.000 That was my 1988.

00:23:11.000 It was much better, yes.

00:23:14.000 Although that's the thing, man.

00:23:15.000 We were all like in that, you know, snowed into that dome that they had us captured in, that media dome.

00:23:21.000 Now we're outside of it.

00:23:22.000 It's weird, really, how the internet has been, like, one of the best things ever and one of the worst things ever at the same time.

00:23:27.000 Yeah.

00:23:27.000 It's created this group of people who are able to understand a lot more than we've ever understood, and also a psychotic death cult that sterilizes kids.

00:23:36.000 So, you know.

00:23:36.000 Yeah.

00:23:37.000 There's that.

00:23:37.000 Trying to communicate with text, I think, is...

00:23:40.000 They'll look back and realize how damaging it was, because we used to write letters and mail them to each other, but it was like a last resort.

00:23:45.000 If you left a note on your refrigerator for your roommate, it was passive-aggressive and nasty.

00:23:49.000 If you didn't go to your roommate, just talk to their face.

00:23:51.000 But now, like, talk about passive-aggressive.

00:23:54.000 Text conversations?

00:23:55.000 K. Yeah.

00:23:57.000 And trying to have a relation—like, what?

00:23:58.000 You think people are going to—why?

00:24:00.000 Is there like an 80% divorce rate or whatever?

00:24:02.000 60% divorce rate?

00:24:04.000 50% of people, males under 30, haven't had sex in the last year?

00:24:07.000 Some crazy number? 1.00

00:24:09.000 This stupid, stupid misuse of the internet. 1.00

00:24:12.000 Let's talk about the nightmare dystopia for which is upon us. 1.00

00:24:15.000 In this story from the post-millennial, Illinois to force landlords to rent to illegal immigrants.

00:24:19.000 Full stop. 1.00

00:24:20.000 Holy crap. 0.99

00:24:21.000 Is this a Third Amendment violation? 0.97

00:24:23.000 Right?

00:24:24.000 Well, they're not soldiers, I guess.

00:24:25.000 Doesn't matter.

00:24:26.000 Doesn't matter.

00:24:27.000 We had a member mention this, that the Third Amendment, the spirit of it goes beyond just the idea of quartering soldiers, because there was a Supreme Court ruling on it, and the general idea was that government could not intrude on your home.

00:24:39.000 The government forcing you to house anyone, I think, would fall under the Third Amendment.

00:24:42.000 So the question would be, what is the spirit of the Third Amendment?

00:24:46.000 And the idea was the government forcing people into your homes.

00:24:50.000 But I suppose you could make the argument it only referred to quartering soldiers.

00:24:53.000 Here's a story from the Post Millennial.

00:24:55.000 Illegal immigrants will soon be granted housing rights in the state of Illinois after Governor J.B.

00:25:00.000 Pritzker signed a new bill in law that makes immigration status a protected class.

00:25:04.000 This means that landlords will not be able to deny illegal immigrants housing as average home prices skyrocket across the state.

00:25:10.000 So it's not like they're Going to the landlords with an illegal immigrant, being like, house them. 1.00

00:25:15.000 It's that an illegal immigrant will come, say, I want to live here, and you can't deny them based on the fact that they're not citizens.

00:25:22.000 Which is kind of crazy, because there might be, like, other laws you are breaking if you don't deny them.

00:25:28.000 Right?

00:25:29.000 Because what do you get, like, as a landlord, well, they're not citizens, can I rent to them?

00:25:32.000 You're gonna report them?

00:25:34.000 I gotta say, that is the one thing where I'm less worried about the whole story.

00:25:39.000 If an illegal immigrant's gonna find an apartment and someone's gonna be like, I don't want you to live here, do you think they're gonna say, well, you have to? 1.00

00:25:46.000 No, the landlord's gonna call ICE and just be like, here, problem solved.

00:25:49.000 There you go.

00:25:50.000 But it is insane they're offering up immigration status as a protected class.

00:25:54.000 Do you think there would be repercussions for calling ICE?

00:25:58.000 Like, do you think the landlord did that?

00:25:59.000 Like, Antifa throwing bricks through windows?

00:26:00.000 Or, like, could you potentially, because our rule of law gets crazier and crazier all the time, could you get accused of, you know, being discriminatory or a hate crime because you called ICE on someone you suspected was an illegal immigrant?

00:26:11.000 I mean, there might be other repercussions by adding this to being a protected class.

00:26:15.000 Depends on where we go as a country.

00:26:17.000 Yeah.

00:26:18.000 Because if we, if, depending on who wins the culture war, where we end up in 100 years, it'll change how all of this is framed.

00:26:27.000 And They already... weren't Democrats already running ads that likened arresting illegal immigrants to the same as rounding up Jews?

00:26:35.000 There was like some viral videos where it showed like the image changed or something like that?

00:26:40.000 No, what was that all about?

00:26:41.000 I think that might have been something else.

00:26:44.000 I don't know.

00:26:44.000 But the Democrats have already likened immigration detention centers to concentration camps.

00:26:49.000 Likened? 1.00

00:26:50.000 Outright!

00:26:51.000 Call them that!

00:26:52.000 AOC with their fake photos crying in front of these parking lots or whatever.

00:26:58.000 And then claiming that the detention centers put up by Obama were concentration camps.

00:27:01.000 And then as soon as Trump is out of office, they're once again holding centers.

00:27:05.000 So I guess the question is, if you are somebody who reports an illegal immigrant You need to ask yourself, are you going to ensure that American values win the culture war? 0.64

00:27:15.000 Because if you're not, I'll tell you.

00:27:18.000 After the far-left extremists win, and there's struggle sessions happening all over, they're going to accuse you of being a Nazi, and they're going to say, see, this proves it.

00:27:27.000 I think depending on who wins the culture war, if it's the far left, I don't even know if we'll have landlords because it'll probably be Black Rock owning everything and we'll all be living in our little 15-minute cities with our apartments. 0.99

00:27:39.000 And then there's no illegal immigration because the borders just open.

00:27:41.000 Because there's no borders and we have a global government.

00:27:43.000 So maybe, there we go.

00:27:45.000 Society collapses quickly but swiftly.

00:27:47.000 The CEO of BlackRock's talking about Bitcoin.

00:27:50.000 Loving on Bitcoin right now.

00:27:51.000 The total great tracking mechanism.

00:27:53.000 That's what he said?

00:27:55.000 No, he didn't say tracking mechanism.

00:27:56.000 He just said, I have a lot of hope for the future.

00:27:59.000 We at BlackRock, we have hope as one of our main tenets.

00:28:02.000 And I just want to talk about Bitcoin because it's a hedge against in case... I'm going to stop talking now.

00:28:09.000 He didn't want to be like, just in case the economy... Yeah, I heard that.

00:28:13.000 Yeah.

00:28:15.000 I feel like anything that gives BlackRock hope, we should all just be very wary of.

00:28:18.000 Oh yeah, if the CEO of BlackRock is saying, I care about hope, and here's Bitcoin, I think that he's telling you if you want to have hope for the future to get that.

00:28:26.000 I don't know, but that's what it feels like, is he's like, this is my, here's my get out of jail free pass.

00:28:31.000 Do you want it?

00:28:32.000 Yeah.

00:28:32.000 Because I'm talking about Bitcoin right now, and we are BlackRock.

00:28:35.000 This is a lot like what I think Alex Jones was talking about

00:28:37.000 on the Culture War podcast a few months ago, that these elites set a bunch of bear traps,

00:28:43.000 publicly announce where they are, and then sit back and wait.

00:28:47.000 And their mentality is if you're smart enough to avoid them, then you deserve to avoid them. 0.99

00:28:52.000 And if you're stupid enough to walk into them, then you deserve to. 1.00

00:28:55.000 And so this sounds very much like that. 1.00

00:28:57.000 All of these problems happening all over the world, in the United States, with the problems,

00:29:01.000 especially with like illegal immigration, if you're paying attention to it,

00:29:04.000 you are actively navigating through the bear traps.

00:29:07.000 And for the rest of the people living in big cities, they're walking straight into them.

00:29:11.000 Well, and you have to remember that someone benefits from illegal immigration, right?

00:29:15.000 If we all agreed it was bad and it didn't help anyone, then we would close the border.

00:29:20.000 But ultimately, Democrats tend to like high immigration areas, high illegal immigration areas, Because they tend to tip the census to support their candidates.

00:29:30.000 It helps them when it comes to election years.

00:29:33.000 So I think strategically, like with Illinois, this is a way to lock down more rural areas and potentially have more influence among voters there.

00:29:41.000 If you're making landlords who might not want to house illegal immigrants in their residences or wherever that be, It makes it so potentially you can gain control over an area because, again, you're changing the demographics of more of the state.

00:29:57.000 And I think that's the problem here.

00:29:59.000 I think that people don't take immigration seriously because it makes them uncomfortable to talk about.

00:30:04.000 Like, saying illegal immigration is a protected class is like saying It doesn't matter to everyone who tried to migrate here illegally, because actually you don't have the same protections as someone who is illegal.

00:30:17.000 They don't care about legal immigration.

00:30:18.000 They don't care about upholding the rule of law.

00:30:20.000 They care about getting their way in the end.

00:30:22.000 It feels like Democrats, Liberals are just fire. 0.96

00:30:26.000 They're consuming and destroying everything around them.

00:30:28.000 Well, and please fact check me, but, you know, obviously Illinois is more than Chicago, but I went to school in Chicago, I lived basically on the South Side, and I would wager that the places that most of these illegal immigrants are going to be moving into, since if they're illegal, you know, how are they working, they're probably not making that much money, they're going to be moving into the South Side of Chicago, right, where the cheapest housing is. 0.54

00:30:49.000 and that's gonna not only create problems, but it's gonna push out people who are living there.

00:30:54.000 So you're all these liberals complaining about gentrification, and meanwhile,

00:30:57.000 they're sort of, if you read that last sentence, in Chicago, the most populated city in Illinois,

00:31:01.000 the median rent has increased from 17.50 per month to 19.00 a month, and it's just so interesting to me

00:31:06.000 if you're trying to help Chicago residents, right, who are getting priced out of being able to live

00:31:11.000 in their houses, getting pushed out, you're now gonna add a massive influx of people

00:31:16.000 that you basically have to say, yes, you can live here, and if not, you're gonna be accused of a hate crime.

00:31:21.000 It's just, it's so backwards, and there's no way to rationalize that policy from the perspective of.

00:31:27.000 Actually putting Chicago residents, you know, meanwhile when they're not having like dozens of people die every weekend because of shootings.

00:31:33.000 Oh, you know what we should do right now is make sure Hondurans can live in houses in Chicago. 1.00

00:31:39.000 I mean the biggest argument for any birthright citizenship is typically this means that you will not be incentivizing people to cross the border just by saying if you get here on time and have a baby here, you now have citizenship and claim to the country and you could participate in DACA and everything else and In some ways, Illinois is now saying, like, we'll do the same thing.

00:31:57.000 If you can get here, we're going to give you special protections.

00:32:01.000 And therefore, they are making it likely that if you were an illegal immigrant and you heard, hey, well, I can definitely, I won't get kicked out of an apartment because of my immigration status, which, you know, there are benefits to going to Chicago.

00:32:13.000 They are making it more inviting to encourage illegal immigration, which is incredibly dangerous for everyone involved, both The effect it has on our country, but also for the people who are crossing the border.

00:32:23.000 It's not safe, and we shouldn't encourage it like this.

00:32:27.000 Regarding this Chicago thing that they're doing, are they charging $1,900 a month for rent for these illegal immigrants, or are they being forced to lower their rent? 0.93

00:32:37.000 No, rent is probably not connected.

00:32:40.000 However, you need to consider that the more they expand these issues, you will get people who will demand a cheaper rent, and if you deny them, they'll make the argument that it was discrimination.

00:32:49.000 So, not typical, though.

00:32:51.000 I don't think money plays a big role in this.

00:32:53.000 And what they're going to try and stake this on is immigration status just means, like, if you immigrated to this country versus if you're a citizen or not.

00:33:00.000 But of course, it's going to include immigration status in general, which includes incomplete status or, you know, expired, et cetera, et cetera.

00:33:10.000 I mean, the big problem you see generally is, like, when someone is arrested at the border for immigration, and if they're released in the country, like, Immigration court is so messed up that you'll have years and years before you're supposed to come back and appear before a judge.

00:33:24.000 You have no reason to actually return if you're able to set up life somewhere and live basically away from the system.

00:33:31.000 So in some ways you're potentially hurting landlords who if someone were to like commit

00:33:37.000 a crime and flee, you know, then their their building is associated with these negative

00:33:43.000 things.

00:33:44.000 I mean, I don't want to be too I don't want to make too many generalizations, but making

00:33:46.000 it so you are making one state saying illegal immigration is okay here.

00:33:52.000 It hurts everyone else around them.

00:33:54.000 It hurts the people of Illinois.

00:33:56.000 It's not an incentive.

00:33:57.000 It doesn't help or protect immigrants.

00:33:59.000 It's just ultimately creating more fires that Illinois is going to have to put out, which

00:34:02.000 means they're going to end up asking the federal government for more assistance.

00:34:04.000 They're already doing that.

00:34:05.000 Well, the things with cities, the illegal immigrants, they allow into their state moved 1.00

00:34:09.000 Mhm.

00:34:10.000 And then, you know, California letting non-citizens in. 0.81

00:34:13.000 They then go to Arizona, Colorado, etc.

00:34:15.000 and they start putting economic strain in these places and people aren't- they're not being tracked properly.

00:34:20.000 And then they can vote in New York City.

00:34:21.000 In terms of like- in terms of like resources to the government to stay tracked.

00:34:24.000 We don't want- Are you saying- Right.

00:34:26.000 Overt surveillance.

00:34:26.000 I mean, the amount of money that being- is being generated by the ec- by the economic activity of these immigrants is harder to track.

00:34:33.000 And so we're expending more resources on our public utilities that's just causing people more money. Yeah, I think Adrian

00:34:40.000 Norman for Timcast today just posted an article saying one in four, I'm going

00:34:44.000 to pull it right now, nearly one in four public school students are the children

00:34:48.000 of illegal immigrants or of immigrants generally. I mean, immigration has a huge impact on our

00:34:52.000 country and I know there are arguments for it for some people, but illegal immigration is a huge

00:34:58.000 challenge that we are not taking seriously enough and in fact we haven't been for years.

00:35:04.000 And I think this should be something that everyone talks about, but instead it becomes this emotional debate. 0.99

00:35:08.000 Well, we got a bunch of cultural stories, and I'm gonna start with the stupidest one. 0.99

00:35:11.000 This is from the New York Post. 0.99

00:35:13.000 Elon Musk snipes Zuck is a cuck about meta boss Zuckerberg after rival Twitter app launch.

00:35:20.000 So, Threads has cracked 100 million users.

00:35:25.000 I still think it's not that good, and I don't know if it'll actually take over.

00:35:30.000 But Elon Musk called Mark Zuckerberg a cuck.

00:35:33.000 Okay. 0.99

00:35:34.000 He then actually went on to call for a literal dick-measuring contest between him and Mark Zuckerberg. 0.94

00:35:42.000 And then did Mark respond with, uh, somebody get my microscope? 0.94

00:35:45.000 Is that what he said?

00:35:46.000 I saw a picture that said that.

00:35:47.000 I don't know if that was doctored or if that was Mark's reply.

00:35:49.000 I doubt it.

00:35:50.000 It's like, get my microscope.

00:35:52.000 Did they include that in the- so, uh, in the four days, blah blah, it's like, is it cuck?

00:35:57.000 Musk tweeted, responding, then Wendy said, you should go to space to make him mad, and that was it.

00:36:03.000 Some people were appalled by Musk's tweet.

00:36:06.000 I was surprised that, you know, he tweeted that he wanted to have a dick measuring contest, and a bunch of people were like, you forgot to post this from your parody Twitter account, you posted it accidentally on your main.

00:36:15.000 Yeah.

00:36:15.000 Do you think he runs his parody Twitter account?

00:36:18.000 That's my favorite conspiracy theory, that Elon Musk is behind his own parody account.

00:36:21.000 That's a good idea.

00:36:22.000 Controlled opposition, you know?

00:36:26.000 Do you guys, are you on Threads?

00:36:27.000 Do you guys like it?

00:36:28.000 No.

00:36:29.000 Maybe Ian can answer this.

00:36:30.000 Is there any truth to the idea that they hired a bunch of people from Twitter to Threads?

00:36:35.000 That's the whole lawsuit?

00:36:37.000 Facebook denies it.

00:36:38.000 They're like, get out of here.

00:36:40.000 What rights does Elon Musk have if that's the case?

00:36:43.000 I don't know actually, that's a good question.

00:36:45.000 Trade secrets, like if you quit one place, you probably are under some sort of NDA that you can't talk about the code that you wrote at that place, but you might know ways to recreate the system without the exact coding.

00:36:57.000 You might be able to change some of the coding.

00:36:59.000 But that's the problem with proprietary code in general and companies owning code is when they leave the company, the company doesn't really own the code.

00:37:09.000 It's the people that make the code that own the code.

00:37:12.000 So that's why I'm a big advocate of freeing it.

00:37:14.000 I'm looking up to see if Zuckerberg responded to Elon.

00:37:19.000 Well, he wanted to have a dick measuring contest. 0.89

00:37:21.000 A literal one.

00:37:23.000 I don't see how that could have been from a parody account.

00:37:26.000 They actually tweeted that.

00:37:27.000 So this is our current state of discourse.

00:37:30.000 The big thing with threads is that it's not good, and I don't know what else to say about it.

00:37:36.000 Instagram is just not a place for high-level conversations.

00:37:39.000 So it's like, Facebook is, you know, what is Facebook?

00:37:42.000 A phone book?

00:37:43.000 A directory?

00:37:44.000 Twitter is our news.

00:37:45.000 It's basically like the news networks back in the day.

00:37:48.000 People would go on, debate the news, on the news show.

00:37:51.000 If you went to the Simpsons for your news, you're not really getting news.

00:37:55.000 And this is basically what Threads is.

00:37:58.000 Instagram's an entertainment platform, not a serious political platform.

00:38:01.000 It does have politics on it, but it's not that serious.

00:38:03.000 And so the platform just...

00:38:05.000 You know what I think is more likely to happen?

00:38:07.000 Young people on Instagram will switch to Twitter once they start getting more politically active. 0.99

00:38:12.000 It's not going to be a switch to Threads or some other stupid app or something. 0.83

00:38:16.000 The people I know who are in content creation who don't like Twitter but like Instagram tend to be not political at all. 0.96

00:38:23.000 They're fitness people.

00:38:25.000 They have cookbooks.

00:38:26.000 They do things outside of this.

00:38:29.000 Do you think that there's any chance that Thread basically becomes a Twitter for those people?

00:38:33.000 Nope.

00:38:33.000 What do they have to talk about?

00:38:35.000 I don't know.

00:38:35.000 But people like them.

00:38:36.000 People follow their content.

00:38:38.000 I assume it's the same thing with anywhere.

00:38:39.000 They have questions.

00:38:40.000 We're releasing this thing.

00:38:41.000 If I'm following a guy because he does backflips off of buildings, why do I care when he makes a post with no picture of a backflip and he just says something like, went to Wendy's today?

00:38:51.000 I'm like, show me a backflip or otherwise I'm not following you.

00:38:54.000 Instagram's the platform where you'll see a video of him doing the backflip where it says went to Wendy's today over top of the image or the video.

00:39:01.000 They don't do just text.

00:39:03.000 See, this meta, Zuckerberg, he's good at copying other people and compiling stuff.

00:39:10.000 Facebook was just like Friendster, more or less.

00:39:12.000 He kind of ripped the concept off Myspace.

00:39:14.000 It was like a developed version of that.

00:39:16.000 And then they bought Instagram.

00:39:17.000 He didn't build that himself.

00:39:20.000 They bought Oculus.

00:39:21.000 I think they had the Oculus come in.

00:39:23.000 Now they have that.

00:39:24.000 Now they're doing this.

00:39:25.000 They basically got the developers from Twitter to recreate, trying to recreate Twitter.

00:39:30.000 But then, you know, it's not really an argument that he's bad at what he does.

00:39:33.000 It's just not super original.

00:39:35.000 It's kind of lame.

00:39:37.000 But it's functional.

00:39:38.000 It's just not creative.

00:39:39.000 He's not the most Sorry, Mark.

00:39:41.000 Do you think we're market saturated on social media platforms?

00:39:45.000 Because you're I mean, you do this for a living, you must have Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, like, at what point is it too many?

00:39:51.000 Yeah, I was gonna say, I'm a Luddite.

00:39:54.000 I hate social media.

00:39:55.000 I feel like every month, they're like launching a new platform.

00:39:59.000 And it's really annoying.

00:40:00.000 I'm not on Threads.

00:40:02.000 I'm not really even on Truth.

00:40:04.000 I'm not really even on Getter.

00:40:05.000 The only one I really do, because I think you get the most bang for your buck, is Twitter, because I think that then can also get aggregated or disseminated to other platforms.

00:40:16.000 But yeah, I don't think Threads is going to I don't, I mean, I'm not on it, but...

00:40:20.000 Because how could you maintain it unless you really saw, like,

00:40:23.000 like I'm saying, like, if there was, like, threads only had the mommy bloggers, right,

00:40:27.000 and that was where the mommy bloggers went for Twitter, like, maybe there'd be enough engagement there 0.99

00:40:32.000 for your niche enclave of content for it to work, but Twitter already dominates this type of media,

00:40:38.000 so how do you, I mean, Gab and other platforms exist, but we have seen that they haven't surpassed Twitter yet,

00:40:47.000 at least.

00:40:48.000 Why would threads?

00:40:49.000 Because it's already attached to Instagram and people are already there.

00:40:52.000 I just don't... I don't get it, but I'm not a huge social media person.

00:40:52.000 There's an access.

00:40:55.000 They're already up to their old same censorship tricks of meta, so it's like, why would you want to go backwards and go on a platform that is Certainly not going to let people like us say what we want to say.

00:41:06.000 So you're alienating like half the country right there.

00:41:09.000 Yeah, at least half the world.

00:41:12.000 It's how do you talk?

00:41:13.000 You can't talk politics if there's a censorship cloud.

00:41:15.000 I mean, you can't really effectively talk about the possibilities.

00:41:19.000 You can't wargain your strategies and talk about what horrible things might happen.

00:41:22.000 Because if the company's like, no, you can't even mention that possibility.

00:41:25.000 Like then I can't have a conversation.

00:41:27.000 Yeah.

00:41:27.000 That's why I think it could only exist for people who are non-political, but then do they have enough to talk about on that platform?

00:41:33.000 Nope.

00:41:33.000 Nah, they don't really text.

00:41:34.000 I mean, maybe they do, but not on social media.

00:41:35.000 It's pictures.

00:41:36.000 I'm thinking of people who, like, review stuff.

00:41:36.000 It's pictures.

00:41:37.000 Like, I did a review of this.

00:41:38.000 What did you got?

00:41:39.000 Like, I just can't imagine it.

00:41:40.000 You can post a video to Instagram already.

00:41:42.000 You can post pictures.

00:41:44.000 What is somebody who has dedicated themselves to a visual medium going to do with a written medium?

00:41:49.000 That's why Twitter is news and politics.

00:41:51.000 So, all of these liberals and leftists who are like, I'm going to Blue Sky, I'm going to Mastodon, whatever, they can, it's not going to change anything.

00:41:58.000 I would, you know, they say, they edit a hundred million users, and it's like, why?

00:42:02.000 Because you're Instagram and people just got a Threads account?

00:42:05.000 Yeah.

00:42:06.000 Like, come on.

00:42:07.000 Of their billion people.

00:42:08.000 Of the people who are already using Instagram, they just clicked a button.

00:42:11.000 Twitter actually understands this.

00:42:13.000 I think, Elon, and that's why they're going so hard into video now.

00:42:15.000 Because the Twitter text is like the rock bottom.

00:42:19.000 You don't want to go that direction.

00:42:21.000 If you have it, you better have it for your network.

00:42:23.000 I'm kind of surprised YouTube doesn't have a better messaging service.

00:42:26.000 They really dropped the ball, you guys, at Google with Google Plus and all that crap.

00:42:29.000 Just consolidate it into YouTube.

00:42:31.000 Make it the best social network.

00:42:33.000 But Twitter's going full-on, long-form videos, subscription models, audio.

00:42:38.000 And that is absolutely the future.

00:42:42.000 Do you think text will ever come back?

00:42:43.000 Is Twitter the space?

00:42:45.000 For transmitting data it's good for information, but for communication it's not very effective in my opinion.

00:42:53.000 That's true, but it's faster than video.

00:42:56.000 That's why it worked in an era of video.

00:42:58.000 So, someone can tweet something like, I am hungry and would like to have a cheeseburger, and then someone can respond with, cheeseburgers aren't healthy, you should consider a different option, and then you can respond with, screw off, vegan.

00:43:08.000 You know, like a video back and forth is not that easy to do.

00:43:12.000 So like, if you were in text, you're like, we're gonna get food later.

00:43:16.000 That's a good text, but if I'm like, What, how are you feeling about that in the text?

00:43:21.000 Ooh, did I do the wrong thing?

00:43:22.000 That is not a text question. 0.97

00:43:24.000 That is no, it is insane, inane.

00:43:27.000 If I ask you about emotions in text, I've missed, like if you're like, if you want to tell me what you're going to do, I'm into it.

00:43:34.000 If I want to ask you why, that text is not the place for that, in my opinion.

00:43:38.000 It gets, starts to get bogged down with what you think I mean and what I, There's a reason why people aren't recording videos of themselves to Twitter in response to other people, because text is the way to do it.

00:43:48.000 It takes too long to load up and watch, and then you gotta turn the volume up, you can read in silence, too, in the middle of the night.

00:43:52.000 People can't absorb video.

00:43:53.000 People can read faster than they can watch a video.

00:43:56.000 So people even say they'll listen to TimCast's IRL on 2x speed.

00:43:59.000 Which is crazy, considering I talk so fast as it is!

00:44:01.000 But they'll do it!

00:44:02.000 Because they can understand it!

00:44:04.000 On Spotify, you can do 3x.

00:44:05.000 3x speed!

00:44:05.000 I wonder if there's anybody out there- I'll get the whole show done in 30 minutes.

00:44:08.000 If anybody gets the transcript of this and reads it, The two-hour show. Yeah, that would be insane. That'd be

00:44:13.000 nuts. It's got a two-hour show, is it tens of thousands of words?

00:44:17.000 Every episode is a book.

00:44:19.000 And then you get to hear the tone, too, you know.

00:44:21.000 The tone's like half the battle. If not more. 90 percent.

00:44:24.000 90 percent of communication is body language. Is that true?

00:44:27.000 But so there's that bell curve of if you're so

00:44:32.000 a book or something playing audio probably makes sense.

00:44:35.000 Short conversations, really annoying to listen to.

00:44:38.000 You know, I'm sorry, I can't stand it.

00:44:40.000 Do not send me voice memos.

00:44:42.000 I will press delete instantly.

00:44:44.000 I don't have two minutes to listen to your thoughts when I can read the whole thing in ten seconds.

00:44:50.000 It's just like, I'll look at my, we're gonna mess up my phone, I'm gonna look and it'll show like the waveform, I'm like, delete.

00:44:55.000 Or just leave a voicemail because then there's at least the attempted transcription.

00:44:58.000 Exactly.

00:44:59.000 Yeah, I won't check my voicemail either.

00:45:01.000 I'll read whatever I get sent and I'll just delete.

00:45:04.000 Text to me, dude.

00:45:05.000 Yeah.

00:45:06.000 Text really did revolutionize the way people communicate instantly.

00:45:09.000 I don't think voice memos can really compete with them.

00:45:13.000 No, it's good for data transfer.

00:45:16.000 For why Friggs is suffering. 0.94

00:45:17.000 No, why Elon Musk is calling Zuckerberg a cuck. 0.60

00:45:20.000 Because it rhymes.

00:45:21.000 Well, so are they fighting?

00:45:22.000 That's my other question.

00:45:23.000 Where's this Coliseum fight that I was promised?

00:45:25.000 I think in Rome, at the Colosseum.

00:45:27.000 Are they doing it for sure?

00:45:28.000 I don't know.

00:45:29.000 Lex Freedman's encouraging them not to actually battle, but just to spar and become sparring partners for the good of humanity.

00:45:34.000 Because if they get head trauma, I mean, both of them know.

00:45:37.000 I think it's a duel.

00:45:37.000 You remember when Alexander Hamilton died in that duel?

00:45:41.000 We could have another big moment like this.

00:45:43.000 This is part of culture.

00:45:44.000 They could bet their companies and the winner takes all.

00:45:47.000 We're talking about consolidation.

00:45:48.000 The winner is like, but I don't want your company because it's terrible. 0.95

00:45:52.000 Yeah, the thing about the old duels, it was that, you know, duels used to be legit, people would kill each other, then it went and became like an honor thing where you wouldn't actually try to kill the other guy, it was about whether or not you'd show up, but it's kind of like, you know, look, and I guess with Hamilton and Burr, Hamilton was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, and fight off to the side, like, we get it, we're here, and then Burr was like, screw you, and like, actually wanted to kill him, so he agreed to it, and his sacred honor was intact as he died. 0.62

00:46:18.000 And then the young people were like, this is crazy.

00:46:20.000 Why are you dueling?

00:46:20.000 We should stop this.

00:46:21.000 That was the last duel in the United States?

00:46:22.000 I don't think it was the last one.

00:46:23.000 But dueling ultimately started to fade out because young people thought it was barbaric.

00:46:27.000 My thoughts on what Elon's doing is this is all publicity.

00:46:30.000 Massive publicity for Twitter and for Meta right now.

00:46:33.000 Both those companies, their valuations are skyrocketing.

00:46:36.000 None of this makes him look bad, I think.

00:46:38.000 I mean, maybe this is like slightly immature, but you know, ultimately, He's staying in everyone's heads.

00:46:45.000 He's still the thing that we're talking about.

00:46:46.000 Like the two of the most influential billionaires on earth and they're just having fun and playing around.

00:46:50.000 Like that's a good thing.

00:46:52.000 I want to talk about this story with Jack White.

00:46:54.000 And the first thing I want to say is it's very strange to me that Variety didn't include Joe Rogan's name here because they had an excellent opportunity for clickbait. 0.99

00:47:01.000 Jack White slams disgusting Mark Wahlberg, Mel Gibson and more for interacting with fascist racist piece of ass Donald Trump. 0.99

00:47:10.000 Okay, here's the post. 1.00

00:47:12.000 Official Jack White.

00:47:12.000 He disabled... I think he disabled comments.

00:47:15.000 Anyway, he says, Anybody who normalizes or treats this disgusting, fascist, racist, conman, disgusting piece of ish Trump with any level of respect is also disgusting in my book. 1.00

00:47:26.000 That's you, Joe Rogan. 1.00

00:47:28.000 You, Mel Gibson.

00:47:29.000 You, Mark Wahlberg.

00:47:31.000 You, Guy Fieri.

00:47:32.000 This is a statement from me, not a discussion, debate, Jack White III.

00:47:37.000 Well, Trump derangement syndrome is back in full swing as we gear up for 2024.

00:47:40.000 How excited are you guys for this?

00:47:43.000 You would never see this.

00:47:44.000 Like, if Joe Rogan shook Obama's hand, you would never see the reverse of this.

00:47:47.000 Right.

00:47:47.000 No one would.

00:47:48.000 No one would even bat an eye.

00:47:50.000 Do you think any of them would be like, Obama talks to conspiracy theorists and misthink peddler Joe Rogan?

00:47:58.000 Like, do you think there'd be any pushback for Obama?

00:48:00.000 Because I feel like for a while people really doubted Joe Rogan.

00:48:03.000 Let's never forget the COVID era.

00:48:05.000 Probably not, because pretty much everybody loves Joe Rogan in this political arena, and then everyone else loves Obama.

00:48:13.000 And then the press simps for Obama, so I would imagine they wouldn't go hard.

00:48:17.000 There wouldn't be anyone to go hard against them.

00:48:19.000 This is like this Jack White man.

00:48:23.000 He's not punk.

00:48:23.000 This is like him thinking he's punk rock when he's 58 and afraid of somebody.

00:48:28.000 I think it's weird to be like, I'm going to publicly tell you my opinion, but I don't want anyone to comment on it.

00:48:33.000 You should just keep it inside your head then.

00:48:35.000 What would Jack White do if Trump was there and everyone was meeting him?

00:48:39.000 Probably avoid eye contact.

00:48:41.000 He'd be like, oh you guys, you're bigots!

00:48:43.000 Yeah, okay dude.

00:48:46.000 I mean, people did refuse to go to the White House.

00:48:48.000 Didn't we have several, like, professional sports teams that won whatever?

00:48:51.000 I'm not very good with sports.

00:48:52.000 But that declined to go to the White House.

00:48:55.000 And the press gleefully reported on this over and over again.

00:48:58.000 And then when I think, did the Patriots end up going to the White House after they won the Super Bowl or something?

00:49:03.000 And people were like, oh, interesting.

00:49:05.000 Why would they do that?

00:49:06.000 I guess they're going to go meet Trump.

00:49:07.000 Like, it's just a regular thing that athletes do.

00:49:11.000 You guys are the ones making it such a histrionic fit.

00:49:14.000 It says a lot when people disable comments.

00:49:17.000 And Jack White deleted comments, then he posted a grey block that allows comments.

00:49:22.000 It's just like... I don't know, man.

00:49:26.000 I'm tired.

00:49:27.000 Eight some odd years of this psychotic Trump derangement syndrome? 0.63

00:49:35.000 Like, Jack White, you don't even know anything about politics. 0.98

00:49:36.000 You're some dude.

00:49:38.000 What is wrong with you?

00:49:39.000 A MMA commentator Met the president- former president, shook his hand.

00:49:45.000 That's it?

00:49:47.000 That's- it's all- it's like Joe Rogan's like shaking his hand, he's like, hey, nice to meet you, and that's it. 0.96

00:49:50.000 And so he posts a clip of it being like, you're disgusting, Joe Rogan.

00:49:55.000 I mean, the other thing is, like, if he had seen Trump, he would have, like, what, walked away uncomfortably? 0.89

00:50:00.000 Like, he wouldn't have confronted Trump about it.

00:50:02.000 He would—he—he—someone who's acting like this, I don't think, has the courage to, like, publicly reprimand this apparently terrible person.

00:50:10.000 So, I don't really understand what this person's point is.

00:50:14.000 Like, let everybody like Trump who likes him, and if you don't want to talk to him, don't freak out.

00:50:19.000 Isn't it interesting that Joe Biden is facing a primary?

00:50:25.000 He's the incumbent.

00:50:27.000 It's hard to wrap your mind around.

00:50:28.000 It seems crazy to me.

00:50:30.000 I really thought they would have announced that he was not going to run for a second term because he is so clearly unable to operate in a healthy and functional manner.

00:50:40.000 Yeah, that's part of this, like, arrest whistleblowers and then let them out later thing.

00:50:45.000 Because, like, while the person's in power, they want the whistleblower to go away.

00:50:48.000 And then later, when they're out of power, they're willing to let them out.

00:50:51.000 But I think that the Bidens are afraid that if they get ousted, there's going to be a lot of, like, peering into their finances, and that could be very bad for the family.

00:51:00.000 I just mean in terms of the level of hatred for Donald Trump, this like psychotic fury at him, and at the same time, the indifference and the disinterest in Joe Biden.

00:51:13.000 It's like even the people who hate Donald Trump care more about Donald Trump than any Democrat cares about Joe Biden, to the point where there's actually a predicted market with Other people who might win the Democratic primary, despite the fact we don't know if there will be one, and Joe Biden, the incumbent, has announced he's running again, there is still a chance he doesn't.

00:51:36.000 Most people, I think, in politics are probably assuming he's not going to, even though the prediction markets are saying he's going to.

00:51:42.000 It just feels like the system is done.

00:51:45.000 I don't get the Trump stuff.

00:51:50.000 Even from that perspective of he's the other, he's dangerous, it's not that bad.

00:51:55.000 He was never that bad.

00:51:57.000 He was just kind of annoying.

00:51:58.000 I guess the people that are just easily swayed get very afraid at the thought of losing out or... And he was built to be this terrible 0.95

00:52:08.000 monster. I mean, the media and his opponents really made Trump this larger than life figure

00:52:13.000 that represents all evil. I mean, it was, it was like, the term never-Trumper existed for a reason.

00:52:20.000 He was absolutely the epitome of everything you couldn't let happen to the country.

00:52:23.000 I mean, obviously, I don't believe that, and I think that's kind of a hysterical position to take.

00:52:27.000 But, you know, to Tim's point, there was an NBC poll that said half of all Democrats think Joe Biden is too old to run, yet they still dislike Republicans more.

00:52:38.000 Like, it doesn't—none of it makes sense.

00:52:41.000 They don't like their own candidate.

00:52:42.000 They don't believe their—they don't believe their incumbent— They only have hate.

00:52:46.000 Exactly.

00:52:46.000 It's all bitterness.

00:52:48.000 On the conservative side, on the Republican side, even with the Libertarians, there's debate over Trump, questions around Trump.

00:52:56.000 Even the Libertarians, I love it, will bring on some Mises Caucus guys, and they'll say, no, no, no, we're not Trump fans.

00:53:02.000 But they will concede some points, and they'll go, well, you know, okay, I can respect that, because they're actually listening and having a reasonable conversation.

00:53:10.000 Republicans, right now you've got the DeSantis camp, they hate Trump, the Trump camp hates DeSantis, and that's like normal primary banter and bickering and stuff.

00:53:18.000 But Donald Trump, you've got people who love him and support him, people who are like, eh, well, you know, he's the best we can get, people who are slightly indifferent.

00:53:25.000 The Democrats, for the most part, overwhelmingly, don't have anything positive to say about any of their candidates.

00:53:32.000 The people who are praising RFK, us.

00:53:35.000 We're the ones praising RFK, and he's a Democrat.

00:53:38.000 The Democratic Party and the corporate press despise him.

00:53:40.000 They rag on him all day.

00:53:42.000 Joe Biden is mocked relentlessly, still defended to a certain degree in the corporate press, but no sane human is going outside being like, woo Joe Biden!

00:53:50.000 But those same Democrat people on the left are screaming how they hate Donald Trump.

00:53:53.000 I just find that very, very interesting with a story like this.

00:53:55.000 Do you think that he was not co-opted by the Chinese movement? 0.99

00:53:59.000 We were talking before the show about the, what's this party?

00:54:03.000 The United Front?

00:54:04.000 This is cool, this is the first time I've heard this.

00:54:05.000 My favorite thing to talk about.

00:54:06.000 Yeah, and so as you're studying the United Front, it's an alliance of groups against... Can you explain the United Front really quick?

00:54:13.000 Sure, sure, sure, I won't go full nerd, but the United Front is basically the Chinese Communist Party's political warfare department.

00:54:18.000 They spend billions of dollars targeting really who's who in the West, whether it's academics, elites, think tankers, politicians, their staff, people even in college all the way down to the high school level, really a pipeline of people who become the most influential decision makers And Hunter Biden is a perfect example.

00:54:36.000 We were talking before the show, you know, Hunter Biden wasn't really that enterprising in that the sense that in the sense that you don't miss the forest for the trees, right?

00:54:45.000 There are a lot of people like Hunter Biden.

00:54:46.000 It's not like Hunter Biden was out looking to make inroads with the Chinese Communist Party.

00:54:51.000 The Chinese Communist Party knew exactly who he was and the avenues whereby the Chinese Communist Party can liaise and get in business and really get Westerners on their payroll, which then nine times out of ten translates into whether it's preferred policies or nice think tank papers or nice talking points in the mainstream media, that's how they do it.

00:55:11.000 And Trump came out very hard against China when he was running.

00:55:14.000 Did the United Front, they were not able to get him co-opted?

00:55:19.000 And so they just started printing in the media, hate this guy, hate this guy, until we can get a president that is sympathetic?

00:55:25.000 So, believe it or not, one of the leading groups of the United Front is a group called the China United States Exchange Foundation.

00:55:31.000 They were paying to take Western journalists overseas on trips to China in exchange for, and I quote directly, favorable coverage and to disseminate positive messages.

00:55:40.000 And Donald Trump, along with a bunch of other United Front groups, actually banned them from operating in the United States, effectively sanctioned them, even though they're like cultural groups, but he shut down a lot of these cultural exchange programs.

00:55:53.000 That's like the euphemistic term that they use to describe what they were doing with

00:55:57.000 this group QSAF, same with the Confucius Institutes.

00:56:01.000 So Trump, as much as people mock him for, oh, he doesn't understand, you know, they 0.99

00:56:04.000 would always say Trump makes America look like a fool on the world stage, right? 0.99

00:56:08.000 They love that line. 1.00

00:56:09.000 They love that refrain.

00:56:10.000 His understanding of Chinese Communist Party influence and a lot of that you can chalk

00:56:13.000 up to the wonderful people who are in there and around him, people like Peter Navarro,

00:56:17.000 who really got Chinese Communist Party infiltration.

00:56:20.000 But for someone who studied this and my career has been in this, he really attacked them

00:56:25.000 with a level of nuance that you've never seen from anyone.

00:56:29.000 But I will say on what what Jack White said, which I do like his music, but it's OK.

00:56:35.000 It sort of throws me back to like 2016, which isn't necessarily a good thing, but I think that sort of gives an interesting insight to the mind of the like typical, you know, Trump derangement syndrome NPC type character.

00:56:47.000 In other words, not that you obviously you always see anti-Trump stuff, But what he said, the racist, sexist, you know, fascist, like that's so 2016 playbook.

00:56:57.000 And it's obviously all grandstanding, right?

00:56:58.000 He's like hoping to genuflect and have people say, oh, you're so wonderful, even though he turned the comments off.

00:57:04.000 But it's almost like now that Trump is back in the news cycle, he's running again and he's looking like the strongest candidate to emerge.

00:57:10.000 It's like in their NPC mind, it's like muscle memory, right?

00:57:14.000 It's like must start attacking Trump again, must start going after him.

00:57:18.000 Oh, what are the words that I've always used to describe him? 0.99

00:57:20.000 Uh, fascist, racist, sexist, so in some ways I think it sort of shows that, like, Trump is under their skin, always has been, and after all this time, after all the eight years, all the investigations and Russia collusion hoaxes and everything that they were going after him for, the best that they still have to attack him is that he's a racist, fascist piece of... 0.99

00:57:42.000 Homophobic, bigot, xenophobe. 1.00

00:57:45.000 We're creative. 0.99

00:57:45.000 We're at least better with our critiques. 0.99

00:57:48.000 We're so good they have to indict us when we're whistleblowers.

00:57:52.000 They have to go after us with the DOJ. 0.91

00:57:54.000 All they say against Trump is, oh, he's racist. 0.90

00:57:56.000 a racist nazi when you were saying the nbc i think you're talking about nbc poll i was i thought you said npc poll so if someone could doctor that up the nbc npc meme just change the b for a p that would be even funnier if the actual npcs were like he's probably too old anyway so no republicans Let's celebrate some victories. 0.95

00:58:17.000 Yay! 0.99

00:58:17.000 Another story from the post-millennial. 0.99

00:58:19.000 Sound of Freedom is a smashing success projected to earn over $40 million in opening week.

00:58:26.000 Tremendous!

00:58:27.000 It was an amazing film.

00:58:28.000 I vouch for it.

00:58:29.000 I give it a 10 out of 10.

00:58:31.000 I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

00:58:32.000 The theater was crying.

00:58:34.000 It was a really, really great film, a great thriller.

00:58:37.000 Angel Studios is announcing that, I'm sorry, estimates are predicting a massive $40 million at the box office in its opening week.

00:58:44.000 In a press release head of theatrical distribution for Angel Studios, Brandon Purdy said, as with our July 4th numbers, today's numbers exceed our expectations and we're going to continue this momentum.

00:58:54.000 Sound of Freedom has taken on a life of its own.

00:58:56.000 Winning.

00:58:57.000 That's huge.

00:58:58.000 I love the way they promoted this movie.

00:59:00.000 I mean, one of the things that I saw in lead up was like, buy a ticket for someone else because we want to get, what was it, several million people to the theater to represent, you know, all the children who are involved in in trafficking and I thought that was really cool. It was

00:59:12.000 sort of refreshing and this is not by any means associated with the Barbie movie but you know Barbie

00:59:16.000 movie has been largely about like very staged press appearances and you know it's kind of

00:59:21.000 cool if that's your thing but also this one had sort of more meaning to it and I think people are

00:59:25.000 really hungry to feel like they are they are part of the change in the world.

00:59:30.000 I actually watched it last night.

00:59:32.000 And it was so wonderful.

00:59:33.000 But I went home and I felt like I've been radicalized.

00:59:35.000 I was like, Oh my gosh, so I started looking up stuff.

00:59:39.000 And you know, I love my deleted web pages.

00:59:41.000 So actually, I published a story today.

00:59:44.000 Biden's DOJ So they have a child sex trafficking website and not in that sense, like it's their informational page where they actually talk about their subject areas that they focus on.

00:59:56.000 And in May of 2023, they revised, which keep in mind, weird timing, right?

01:00:01.000 That's like three years into the year, two years into the administration.

01:00:04.000 but they actually revised the child sex trafficking portion of the DOJ website

01:00:09.000 and they, I kid you not, removed the subheadings and multi-paragraph explanations

01:00:15.000 of international sex trafficking of minors, domestic sex trafficking of minors,

01:00:20.000 and child victims of prostitution, and they reworded what exactly they defined child sex trafficking as,

01:00:26.000 taking out a whole blurb where they talk about how it involves, like, the transportation between two countries.

01:00:31.000 So that made my, like, conspiratorial mind go, like, what the heck?

01:00:35.000 Your brain just lights up. 0.97

01:00:37.000 And if you read the blurbs that they deleted, it's literally talking about how open borders make child sex trafficking a heck of a lot easier.

01:00:46.000 And when I saw that, I was like, That's like, just imagine you're like some Biden staffer, like your job is like you run the DOJ's website.

01:00:55.000 What would take over you to delete that from the informational webpage about child sex?

01:01:02.000 It's just bizarre.

01:01:03.000 Why do they do it?

01:01:05.000 Because they're trafficking children?

01:01:06.000 I'm not saying that, but I would like an explanation.

01:01:11.000 What a good tactic to learn.

01:01:13.000 Rather than read the old one and read the new one, you read what was removed.

01:01:17.000 It's like an elimination diet.

01:01:18.000 That's what I do. I do my text comparisons and I see what they take out and you connect.

01:01:22.000 They took they deleted their it was called the China challenge website where they described

01:01:27.000 the Chinese Communist Party is like an existential threat to the United States on the first day 1.00

01:01:31.000 of the Biden administration. They also took down a web page profiling all of the atrocities and

01:01:37.000 basically genocide going on against the Uyghurs and Xinjiang.

01:01:40.000 They literally took China off the list of adversarial threats, taking on and taking over the United States. 0.93

01:01:47.000 So you can tell a lot.

01:01:48.000 And all this was done the first day of the Biden administration.

01:01:52.000 So someone is very, very radical who's running their websites.

01:01:57.000 I just can't believe they took that.

01:01:58.000 This film was made five years ago, and for some reason they wouldn't put it out.

01:02:03.000 And it was very, very difficult for them to finally do it.

01:02:05.000 And it makes 40 million bucks in its opening week, which is massive for any indie film.

01:02:10.000 And it's really massive accounting that it made 10 million on the first day.

01:02:14.000 14.5.

01:02:14.000 14.5 on the first day.

01:02:16.000 So that's 25 million in the six following days, which is huge for an indie film to go from To increase its, I guess, to make 150% of its opening day over the course of the week.

01:02:30.000 I would have thought that indicates that it got a lot of good publicity, I think, and word of mouth.

01:02:34.000 Yeah, I think a lot of people are referring other people to the movie, which hopefully will mean it sustains the profit margins for a long time.

01:02:41.000 It's a grassroots movie.

01:02:42.000 What this means is that anti-establishment, anti-woke, libertarian-minded individuals, conservatives, suspected liberals, whatever this group is, actually engaging in the culture war.

01:02:52.000 I know one guy that said he bought a ticket and didn't want to go, because he didn't know if he could handle it, but he still wanted to support the movie.

01:02:59.000 I don't hear that about a lot of movies.

01:03:01.000 But I am excited for Barbie.

01:03:02.000 I am too!

01:03:05.000 I don't mean to shade Barbie, but I did think this idea that they were saying, like, the most important thing to us is that people sit in the theater and see the movie.

01:03:13.000 So if you can buy a ticket for someone else, like, if you can help people get this message out there, that's what we care about.

01:03:18.000 And I think that is the part of the culture war that people are really wanting to be part of.

01:03:22.000 It's not the Threshade of Barbie at all.

01:03:23.000 Barbie can do a great... I mean, all the success in the world to Barbie, but I think it is interesting that this movie that... You're right.

01:03:29.000 I mean, it would be hard to watch.

01:03:30.000 It would be hard to see.

01:03:31.000 People are still flocking to see it.

01:03:33.000 They want to know what's going on and hopefully it's... Barbie had that scene. 0.90

01:03:37.000 They're getting slammed because it shows the lines coming out of China.

01:03:40.000 The nine dash lines.

01:03:41.000 The nine dash lines.

01:03:42.000 There's only eight in the movie, but it represents China's claim over the South China Sea.

01:03:47.000 And that's in Barbie?

01:03:48.000 And so the movie's getting banned in a bunch of Southeast Asian countries?

01:03:51.000 It's this whole abstract world map and it's like this dashed S line.

01:03:55.000 In real life it's basically like a U. It makes me wonder, was that intentional?

01:04:02.000 Barbie hasn't said, or the makers of Barbie I should say, haven't said if this was intentional.

01:04:06.000 They want to make money in China! 1.00

01:04:07.000 Right!

01:04:08.000 Or... Now I can't see Barbie.

01:04:10.000 I almost wonder if they're They had no idea what they were doing.

01:04:14.000 I think they want to make money in China.

01:04:15.000 I think that's ultimately it.

01:04:16.000 But I do like the idea that someone drew the map and was like, I don't know, I looked up a map and there were some dashes.

01:04:20.000 There's any movie that could play the Don Blanc card.

01:04:22.000 Yeah, it's this.

01:04:23.000 This is their out.

01:04:24.000 We had no idea what we were doing.

01:04:27.000 That's actually what they said.

01:04:27.000 They said it's just a fake map that Barbie drew up.

01:04:31.000 But why did Barbie know about the lines?

01:04:34.000 Yeah, if it's such a silly, cartoonish map, why are those lines there?

01:04:37.000 And I don't know, Vietnam banned it.

01:04:41.000 See?

01:04:42.000 Exactly.

01:04:42.000 So we have it.

01:04:43.000 You can see it right here.

01:04:45.000 Um, I don't know if... The Philippines was reviewing this and they were saying maybe, some of their lawmakers were suggesting perhaps this scene could be edited out so this map doesn't appear, but I don't know how that would end up.

01:04:57.000 It may just be, if you look over here on the other parts of the map, there are other dotted lines.

01:05:01.000 It may have been to represent just, like, traveling, not actually anything, and because there's lines coming out of Asia.

01:05:09.000 Like, this is not even the shape of Asia.

01:05:11.000 Like, what is this?

01:05:12.000 No, it's a complete abstract map because it's silly, but on the other hand, I do like the idea that someone just was like, map of the world, didn't think about it at all, and now they've like entered this movie into a huge geopolitical debate.

01:05:25.000 Yes, yeah, the people in the film and movie industry a lot of times are very manipulative with imagery.

01:05:32.000 So they might have been like, this is a travel path, but they happen to make the travel path, the cutout that they want to be given to the Chinese. 0.94

01:05:40.000 Authority.

01:05:41.000 That's possible.

01:05:41.000 And we'll probably never know.

01:05:42.000 I mean, no one's gonna come out and explain it.

01:05:44.000 You have two choices this weekend, America.

01:05:47.000 You can support China by watching Barbie, or you can support America and saving kids by watching Sound of Freedom.

01:05:57.000 Which way?

01:05:58.000 Oppenheimer as a third choice is not on the table.

01:06:00.000 Oppenheimer?

01:06:01.000 Did you see it?

01:06:02.000 Are people seeing it?

01:06:02.000 Is it good?

01:06:03.000 I don't know.

01:06:04.000 No.

01:06:04.000 I never see any movies.

01:06:05.000 Don't look at me.

01:06:06.000 I gotta go see Sound of Freedom.

01:06:07.000 I think I might go tomorrow.

01:06:09.000 Yeah.

01:06:09.000 Bro, you're gonna be crying the whole time.

01:06:10.000 Oh, no.

01:06:11.000 Yeah.

01:06:11.000 Oh, jeez.

01:06:12.000 I gotta do it, though.

01:06:13.000 Dude, the opening scene is so well done in that movie.

01:06:17.000 What I was saying earlier is, like, everyone here has seen Up, right?

01:06:20.000 No.

01:06:20.000 No?

01:06:21.000 You haven't seen Up?

01:06:21.000 Yeah, no, no.

01:06:22.000 Wow!

01:06:22.000 Is it, like, good?

01:06:24.000 Well, the first... The first sequence is amazing.

01:06:27.000 It's really solid.

01:06:28.000 The first 15 minutes will leave you bawling your eyes out in Up.

01:06:32.000 And then the rest of the movie is kind of like, I don't even care.

01:06:35.000 I liked that.

01:06:37.000 I saw it with children, though, and I was like, solid.

01:06:39.000 I don't have to worry about anything in here.

01:06:41.000 The first 15 minutes or whatever is one of the best short films ever.

01:06:45.000 And then afterwards, it's silly nonsense I don't care about.

01:06:47.000 Was it a short movie that they turned into a feature length?

01:06:50.000 No.

01:06:51.000 It's like basically the intro to the film to explain why the movie's happening.

01:06:56.000 I mean, look, I'm gonna spoil it up for you because it's been a very long time.

01:06:59.000 Let me tell you what I know of it by not having seen it.

01:07:01.000 It's a guy whose house they're gonna repossess and he's like, no, I'd rather fly away and he ties balloons to his house.

01:07:06.000 And it's just with no words the story of how he got his house and what led him to It's him as a little kid meeting a little girl.

01:07:13.000 Then it's a montage with music of them growing up.

01:07:16.000 They long to travel the world.

01:07:18.000 They have a jar.

01:07:19.000 They're saving up money, but then things keep happening.

01:07:21.000 There's a leak in the roof.

01:07:22.000 The car breaks down.

01:07:23.000 So they keep breaking open the savings and spending the savings on things other than their dream trip.

01:07:28.000 And then one day his wife- Blackrock wants to buy it.

01:07:30.000 His wife dies.

01:07:31.000 And so he's this old curmudgeon who lives in this house and now his city's sprung up around him.

01:07:35.000 And so that's like the first 10 minutes or whatever.

01:07:37.000 In Sound of Freedom, The opening credits has real video of children being snatched by traffickers.

01:07:44.000 Not- they're- okay, so there's like the opening credits, and then there's the opening scene.

01:07:49.000 The opening credits has real video of children being snatched by traffickers.

01:07:54.000 Dang, dude.

01:07:55.000 It's terrifying.

01:07:56.000 Like...

01:07:57.000 It's horrifying.

01:07:59.000 To see how, like, it's surveillance footage of two little kids, like, playing basketball at their house, and a car pulls up and they just grab the kid and throw him in.

01:08:06.000 The other kid starts freaking out.

01:08:08.000 Just like that.

01:08:09.000 But the opening sequence, basically, without spoiling anything, just lays out the general concept of what's happening.

01:08:17.000 And it's, it was like, it was a weird kind of fear.

01:08:22.000 I've seen, you watch a horror movie and you're like, oh man, there's gonna be a jump scare or something.

01:08:25.000 You're like, scared.

01:08:26.000 You're not really scared.

01:08:28.000 Yo, I was kind of scared watching.

01:08:29.000 I'm like, in the beginning, with everything that's going on, I'm feeling like this fear and this dread, this doom, because I know exactly... You watch, you know exactly what's about to happen, and then you watch it happen, and then your fear, anger, and dread becomes like anger and sadness.

01:08:46.000 It's a good movie, man.

01:08:47.000 I guess sadness is better than fear.

01:08:49.000 So yeah, it's worth seeing.

01:08:50.000 But it's like a kind of fear where you know where it's going, and you're waiting for it to happen, and like, oh man.

01:08:56.000 Do you feel... I recommend it.

01:08:57.000 Do you feel better equipped to deal with it on the global stage having seen that movie?

01:09:02.000 Oh, I don't know. I think it I think that movie is going to put it in people's minds, though.

01:09:05.000 And I think a whole lot of people in Hollywood and DC are freaking out right now. And how

01:09:09.000 successful this is. So that's your third reason to go see it. The first is because it's a good movie.

01:09:13.000 The second is because we want to build up alternate studios who can compete with Hollywood.

01:09:18.000 And the third reason is to piss off the creepos who are in Hollywood and DC,

01:09:22.000 who are fuming that people are starting to call out their creepy grooming trafficking behavior.

01:09:27.000 And a lot of questions about some prominent individuals and the

01:09:30.000 things they've been up to on certain islands.

01:09:32.000 I saw it last night, like at 6 p.m.

01:09:35.000 on a Sunday.

01:09:36.000 The theater, seriously, entirely packed.

01:09:38.000 I got one of the last two seats that they had available, and I didn't really know what I was walking into.

01:09:43.000 Part of me was like, do I need to wear a hat?

01:09:44.000 Like, is it going to be all, like, war room audience, you know?

01:09:47.000 Because we had been promoting, and I was like, oh, I don't have security.

01:09:49.000 Like, no, no.

01:09:49.000 We're going to clap for you.

01:09:53.000 It was actually amazing because it was such a, I don't usually use the word diverse in a good way, but it was such a diverse audience.

01:10:01.000 It wasn't just Trump support, QAnon crazies. 1.00

01:10:04.000 It was normal people, all ages, all walks of life.

01:10:08.000 And you start to hear the conversations around you.

01:10:11.000 And I was just sort of listening to understand why people were there, which I guess maybe is weird.

01:10:15.000 I'm eavesdropping.

01:10:17.000 But people were just like, oh, yeah, I heard this movie is really good.

01:10:20.000 Yeah, one of my friends was talking Like it was very just organic, it wasn't like people sitting there like, oh well I was reading the latest Q-Drop and they said I had to go, you know what I mean?

01:10:29.000 Like it was normal, not that, but it was just like... It was just word of mouth, people recommending it to each other.

01:10:34.000 The media keeps trying to frame it as a religion movie.

01:10:38.000 And I was just like, there's like, there's the only thing in it that can any way be attributed to religion is when he says God's children are not for sale.

01:10:45.000 That's it.

01:10:46.000 The rest is literally like a law enforcement drama.

01:10:50.000 There's some heist components, sting components.

01:10:53.000 It's like if you like Law & Order SVU, this is like 100 fold better than Law & Order SVU, but it's like that.

01:11:00.000 It's like a cop going and rescuing kids and stuff like, I just, I want to tell you, I'm going to wait a little bit because I want to do the spoiler review where I just actually talk about everything.

01:11:09.000 But here's what I think is happening.

01:11:11.000 We go and see it.

01:11:12.000 We do the show, we're like, wow, it was fantastic.

01:11:14.000 Then other people are like, oh, OK, I guess I'll go see it.

01:11:17.000 Now that it's reached this point of virality, I'm sure it's going to be sold out all this week and they may even make more money this week.

01:11:26.000 The news report's coming out saying, you know, smashing success, excellent reviews, $40 million in its opening week.

01:11:34.000 That's gonna lead people to be like, oh man, I should go see this movie.

01:11:37.000 And you should go see it, because I regret not seeing Nefarious in theaters.

01:11:43.000 I watched Nefarious on Amazon when it came out, and wow, that was also such a good film.

01:11:49.000 If you haven't seen Nefarious, you should totally watch it.

01:11:52.000 Get it wherever you can get it.

01:11:53.000 It's on Amazon.

01:11:54.000 I don't know if you like Amazon, but Nefarious was awesome.

01:11:56.000 I don't know if you guys watch Nefarious?

01:11:58.000 No.

01:11:59.000 Oh, that was a good one.

01:12:00.000 It was really interesting.

01:12:01.000 And Steve Deef was on the show, and he was, because he wrote the book, and he was talking about it, and he's so nice, and so well-spoken, and I was like, oh, cool, this movie.

01:12:09.000 I was, it's crazy to think this is the creation.

01:12:12.000 And again, I I love anything that makes you think, and I think that's why this idea of telling the story of human trafficking through a movie is important, because people need to understand what the consequences are.

01:12:23.000 And I think some of the themes that come up in Nefarious are the same way.

01:12:26.000 Your brain needs something to do with itself.

01:12:28.000 It needs to think.

01:12:29.000 Can we spoil Nefarious now?

01:12:30.000 It's been a while for Nefarious, right?

01:12:32.000 Yeah, it's been like at least six months.

01:12:34.000 Yeah, okay, well I'll do only- What's the rule on spoiling things?

01:12:37.000 Is there like a time limit?

01:12:38.000 Well, because if we're encouraging- Because I've still never watched Titanic, but I basically know what happens in that.

01:12:42.000 I was just reading about Titanic.

01:12:43.000 You can spoil that.

01:12:43.000 That's what I was looking at.

01:12:44.000 But if I'm trying to convince people to go watch a movie, I don't want to spoil it.

01:12:47.000 I want to be like, you gotta go see it.

01:12:49.000 So you definitely should watch Nefarious 2.

01:12:50.000 You can watch that one tonight.

01:12:51.000 But, um, I'll spoil it a little bit.

01:12:55.000 I it when my favorite part of the movie like and this is a this is a key component and you'll it's like right in the beginning so i'm not going to spoil anything serious the the murderer is like by the end of tonight you'll have committed three murders and like this is a talk it's a movie where they talk it's like a handful of dudes talking for for an hour and a half in like one in one room the whole movie happens in basically one 90% one room in a prison with some stuff outside of it.

01:13:24.000 And it's just like, I'll put it this way, the guy says, by the end of the night you'll have committed three murders to a doctor, to like a psychologist, psychiatrist.

01:13:33.000 And then basically they talk through everything and you gotta see it because it's really, really good.

01:13:38.000 I thought it was fantastic.

01:13:40.000 And it's funny because I'm really jaded on movies.

01:13:44.000 You know, I have a subscription to Shudder.

01:13:47.000 I can't watch half those movies anymore.

01:13:48.000 You know what I mean?

01:13:49.000 It's just like, it's all jump scares.

01:13:51.000 It's all like, I swear 80% of horror movies is like a young woman moves into a new house and then a ghost is there.

01:13:58.000 And it's like, okay, a child uncovers object, object is haunted.

01:14:02.000 And I'm like, sure, whatever.

01:14:04.000 There's nothing new.

01:14:04.000 I've watched so much stuff on two times speed.

01:14:07.000 I like to even push it to two and a half times speed that it's actually hard for my brain to watch movies now.

01:14:12.000 Because it's so slow, which I know is so bad and so autistic. 1.00

01:14:17.000 But Sound of Freedom is the first movie that I've watched in years.

01:14:22.000 What prompted you to go see it?

01:14:25.000 Because it wasn't just, I honestly also think movies are sort of a waste of time.

01:14:29.000 Like, I know we're getting into my personal, but I don't know, I would just rather do something with my body rather than go for a walk or like write a story.

01:14:35.000 I have a hard time sitting still for movies.

01:14:37.000 Yeah, I'm also, because I'm like fidgeting in the chair.

01:14:39.000 Yeah, you and me both, we're just sitting over here rocking.

01:14:41.000 It's easier to watch movies for me at home when you're like doing something else, like embroidering or folding laundry or like whatever else.

01:14:46.000 I can't watch stuff on regular speed now.

01:14:48.000 I have to watch it on two times speed.

01:14:50.000 Do you watch movies on two times speed?

01:14:51.000 So most streaming platforms don't really cater to that, and also I feel like that would just be... Also, how do you watch a movie with someone and you're like, hey, would you mind if we Netflix and chill on two times speed?

01:15:04.000 That would be really bad.

01:15:06.000 Do you ever watch multiple movies at the same time just to...

01:15:09.000 When I was watching a lot of opposition research, so, like, old speeches from Biden and Biden appointees and, like, people in the Hunter Biden hard drive orbit, I actually did master that act, and I texted my boss at the time and was like, well, I'm concurrently watching these three spe- and he's like, how are you doing?

01:15:26.000 And honestly, I don't, like, I don't even know how it's possible, but you can, if you're just listening for certain words, you can do it.

01:15:32.000 If you're searching for something, and that's, I think, so hard with, like, a lot of movies, I find myself just, uh, Pre-empting how the plot is gonna go so it's not it's not fun.

01:15:41.000 We can watch movies on 2x speed together.

01:15:43.000 Yeah, you and I would be fine.

01:15:46.000 We'll just sit there walk around the room 2x speed guessing the plot like it's totally but I think that's one of the things I loved about Nefarious was that it was just a format I was not expecting for a movie and you're not really sure what's gonna happen next as opposed to what Tim's talking about with with horror movies in particular there's only so many combinations of like the ghost can come from the wall or the floor like Yeah, at some point you run out.

01:16:08.000 Yeah, it's like the the music box was haunted.

01:16:11.000 The next movie is like a single mother moves into a home and the the cupboard is haunted. 1.00

01:16:16.000 I'm the worst because like at the beginning of TV shows, I'll be like, oh, they're gonna fall in love.

01:16:21.000 They're enemies right now, but they're gonna fall in love and like no one likes to watch anything with me because it's the whole a whole time.

01:16:25.000 I'm just figuring out who's gonna end up together.

01:16:28.000 I want to jump to this segment here, this story.

01:16:30.000 Once again, another story from the post-millennial.

01:16:32.000 Joe Rogan and Elon Musk call out MSNBC for suggesting being healthy and in shape is far-right.

01:16:38.000 I love it.

01:16:39.000 This is what winning looks like, okay?

01:16:42.000 We've had a whole bunch of culture war victory segments today.

01:16:46.000 Joe Rogan tweets in response to MSNBC who said, the far-right's obsession with fitness is going digital.

01:16:52.000 He said being healthy is quote, far-right holy F.

01:16:56.000 Patrick bet David with the best response says, does that hold the inverse being true?

01:17:01.000 That the left's obsession with being fat is going digital.

01:17:07.000 But but this isn't.

01:17:08.000 So this is really funny.

01:17:09.000 Because if you guys know the Krasensteins are, we've had them on the show. 0.98

01:17:12.000 They're liberal pundits.

01:17:14.000 Brian Krasenstein, I think it was Brian, he posted a video of himself working out.

01:17:18.000 And looking pretty fit, you know, good for him.

01:17:20.000 I missed the far right pipeline.

01:17:22.000 But that's what I said.

01:17:22.000 I said, careful, Brian.

01:17:24.000 You keep it up.

01:17:24.000 You're going to become far right.

01:17:26.000 And a bunch of leftists and liberals started attacking me for it.

01:17:28.000 And I was like, dude, I'm kidding.

01:17:30.000 Like, I was, I'm joking.

01:17:31.000 I, I, I interacted with the guy positively on, on, on Twitter.

01:17:34.000 I recently shouted him out.

01:17:35.000 He said, let's not fight.

01:17:36.000 Let's like, you know, he said, not everybody's crazy and extreme.

01:17:39.000 You know, we just, we just see the world differently.

01:17:40.000 I respect it.

01:17:41.000 And I was like, you know, all joking aside, keep it up, bro.

01:17:44.000 Looking good.

01:17:45.000 And the funny thing now is even he responded to this being like, what?

01:17:49.000 Like, being in shape is far right?

01:17:52.000 And I'm like, I warned you.

01:17:54.000 Like, I told you, dude.

01:17:55.000 They will call you right wing if you're into fitness.

01:17:58.000 That's how psychotic the cult is.

01:18:01.000 Yo, they legit want you unhealthy, unhappy, eating bugs, and living in a pod.

01:18:06.000 I can understand if people are getting in shape because they feel like they're going to get attacked, that it might be like a form of, like, a result of being radicalized.

01:18:15.000 Like, I'm so afraid for my life now.

01:18:17.000 I've got to defend myself.

01:18:18.000 But if you just want to get healthy and muscular so you can carry your kids around, I mean, come on.

01:18:22.000 But isn't this like the left all the time?

01:18:24.000 They're saying, you're going to misgender me.

01:18:26.000 You're going to have microaggressions for me.

01:18:29.000 Like, wouldn't that mean that they should be the ones getting in shape to defend themselves?

01:18:34.000 So check it out, here's the tweet that everyone's responding to.

01:18:36.000 Posted July 10th, 2023, right?

01:18:39.000 Here's the story, written March 22nd, 2022.

01:18:44.000 MSNBC knows that they're sparking controversy.

01:18:49.000 Have you guys ever seen those videos?

01:18:50.000 There's a couple.

01:18:51.000 Like, a woman will have a counter, and she'll go like, okay, here's what we're gonna do, and then she'll take a bag, like an industrial bag of nacho cheese, and just dump it on the counter, and then she'll take a bunch of chips and pour all over the cheese, and then start mixing it with her hands, and you're like, what is she doing? 0.95

01:19:05.000 You, like, hate watching it?

01:19:06.000 So uncomfortable.

01:19:07.000 Exactly.

01:19:08.000 They're not real tips.

01:19:09.000 I watched one where it's like, she pours, like, vinegar into a pan, then pours cream, and puts an egg in the middle, and she's like, trust me, and I'm like, no.

01:19:18.000 It's intended to trick you into watching for a long time so they make money.

01:19:22.000 That's what MSNBC is doing.

01:19:24.000 That's what the left cult is.

01:19:26.000 Well, and in particular, it's sparking it on Twitter.

01:19:29.000 MSNBC knows that people, it's, it's, uh, the algorithm will respond to its tweet getting a lot of engagement.

01:19:36.000 And engagement doesn't have to be positive.

01:19:37.000 It doesn't have to be a bunch of people saying, oh, we love, great story, good, good reporting.

01:19:41.000 People arguing in the comments makes it look like a lot of people are interacting with the post, which technically they are, although they are screaming at one another.

01:19:48.000 That's the same thing with these food videos where it's like, What is she doing?

01:19:52.000 Is this a joke?

01:19:53.000 All of the debate makes the video seem popular to the algorithm.

01:19:58.000 I'm still taken aback that this is a year-old story that they're sending viral right now.

01:20:03.000 Oh, bro!

01:20:04.000 Arnold!

01:20:05.000 Arnold has chimed in.

01:20:05.000 He says, fitness is not political, right or left.

01:20:07.000 All of us can benefit from the lessons of progressive resistance training, creating a vision goal, building a routine, doing the reps, learning to love failure.

01:20:14.000 The list goes on.

01:20:16.000 If you don't know where to start, Arnold's Pump Club.

01:20:18.000 See, I can respect that.

01:20:19.000 Everybody's basically being like, dude. 0.74

01:20:21.000 Bridget Phetasy says, the only way to prove you're not a Nazi is to get fat.

01:20:25.000 Apparently that's the only way.

01:20:27.000 Look at this.

01:20:28.000 It's amazing.

01:20:28.000 These are all the responses of everyone just mocking MSNBC.

01:20:32.000 Yep, here's Abby Libby on Twitter saying, someone please inform MSNBC I'm about to do a little far-right extremism diving into the lap pool.

01:20:40.000 To go exercise.

01:20:42.000 We should just call exercising far-right extremism.

01:20:45.000 You guys wanna go engage in some far-right extremism at the gym tomorrow?

01:20:48.000 But then they'll probably strike down gym classes from schools, because after all the years of being like, kids need exercise, they'll be like, we can't indoctrinate children to be conservative.

01:20:57.000 There's gotta be more to this story.

01:20:59.000 Here's more to the story.

01:21:00.000 NewsGuard rates MSNBC.com 57 out of 100.

01:21:03.000 Proceed with caution.

01:21:05.000 This website generally fails to maintain basic standards of accuracy and accountability.

01:21:10.000 Pence tweeting out a year-old story.

01:21:11.000 They're like, we don't care.

01:21:12.000 That's the old guard, man.

01:21:14.000 Can you fact-check NewsGuard?

01:21:16.000 Is that even possible?

01:21:20.000 Here's Fox News.

01:21:22.000 69.5 out of 100.

01:21:24.000 Fox News has more credibility, according to NewsGuard, than MSNBC does.

01:21:28.000 Uh-oh! 0.94

01:21:28.000 I can hear everyone's liberal aunt screeching and saying, that's not true! 0.94

01:21:31.000 NewsGuard is far right!

01:21:33.000 Okay, lady. 0.99

01:21:34.000 No, lady.

01:21:35.000 Go back to the gym.

01:21:36.000 Go back to the gym.

01:21:38.000 Are you trying to convert her?

01:21:39.000 Are you trying to indoctrinate her with extremism?

01:21:41.000 I'm a Pilates fan, so... But I do think that there is an obvious correlation between working out, being fit, and being conservative.

01:21:49.000 Yeah, I think so too. You're going to, like, two things.

01:21:52.000 One, someone who's willing to work out clearly sees the benefits of hard work for long-term gains

01:21:59.000 over short-term gains. Short-term, you're going to be tired, you're going to be sweaty. I

01:22:02.000 think working out really does feel fantastic, though. But long-term, you feel like, you know,

01:22:05.000 a bolt of lightning. You feel fantastic.

01:22:07.000 Somebody who feels that way probably already understands a lot of basic conservative concepts,

01:22:12.000 but then there's also the correlation between testosterone, you know, aggression, and being

01:22:17.000 You're gonna be more assertive, you're gonna be more confident, you're gonna feel better about yourself, working out will likely have you end up being more quote-unquote far-right. 0.84

01:22:26.000 But if this were true, just, like, every Nazi would be jacked. 0.70

01:22:30.000 And, like, the reality is, whenever you see, like, actual people waving Nazi flags, they're, like, very heavy.

01:22:36.000 Or very gaunt and frail-looking.

01:22:37.000 Like, not very healthy-looking individuals.

01:22:40.000 That's the weirdest thing, too.

01:22:41.000 It's like...

01:22:42.000 Why are- Why did MSNBC try to make this argument in the first place?

01:22:46.000 Are they trying to convince- Look at the- Look at this picture!

01:22:49.000 Can we just- Look at- It's a- It's- Okay.

01:22:52.000 It's a bunch of Nazis doing the Roman salute, and then there's a guy- A flexing arm.

01:22:57.000 What's the black- They're covering up. 0.85

01:22:59.000 Oh, I don't know trying to cut like because it's artsy.

01:23:03.000 Yeah, sure edgy Hyper-masculinity have always been central to the far right what how are these people simultaneously arguing that conservatives are like chuds?

01:23:11.000 Not also that they're super jacked and ripped hyper-masculinity was a big part of Mussolini's fascist thing.

01:23:17.000 He wanted to make the Italian River Masculine, so he changed the gender of the word of the name And he was big on like the fatherland and stuff like that, but that doesn't mean that working out in general makes you a fascist just because he

01:23:33.000 was masculine.

01:23:34.000 Yeah, or what if masculinity includes taking responsibility, thinking long-term?

01:23:38.000 Like, those don't have to be negative qualities no matter what mainstream

01:23:42.000 media thinks, right? There can be positive qualities of masculinity that result in

01:23:47.000 someone wanting to make sure they maintain a high level of physical

01:23:51.000 strength and health.

01:23:53.000 They've just decided these things are bad and they want to use phrases that make you scared of them, right?

01:23:59.000 That's why they put an image of Nazis on screen, to be like, you don't want to be hyper-masculine.

01:24:04.000 That's bad.

01:24:05.000 Hyper-masculine, so like what masculinity is like.

01:24:08.000 I guess you get too much testosterone, you stop feeling.

01:24:11.000 Is that the problem with masculinity?

01:24:13.000 You lose touch with your emotions because you're in touch with what you grab in front of you.

01:24:18.000 But is there any indication of that?

01:24:20.000 I don't know.

01:24:21.000 What's the fear?

01:24:21.000 I feel like that's not true.

01:24:23.000 I don't know.

01:24:24.000 What is your experience with testosterone?

01:24:26.000 Have you gone through T levels, high testosterone, low testosterone in your life?

01:24:30.000 Well, I'm bald, so apparently that means I have a lot of testosterone, I guess.

01:24:33.000 You do have a lot?

01:24:33.000 I don't know.

01:24:34.000 You're pretty driven.

01:24:35.000 I exercise a lot.

01:24:36.000 I skate a lot.

01:24:37.000 And I eat a lot of beef.

01:24:40.000 I didn't used to eat a lot of beef.

01:24:41.000 That's only recently.

01:24:41.000 I've been eating cheeseburgers like non-stop for some reason.

01:24:44.000 Don't ask me why.

01:24:44.000 It's like smash burgers.

01:24:45.000 You're going to say burgers.

01:24:47.000 Far-right extremism.

01:24:48.000 Yeah.

01:24:49.000 No, but I typically would eat a lot of chicken and fish most of my life and actually don't like eating a lot of beef because I usually would get sick.

01:24:55.000 Actually, I was getting pretty sick because I too much... Oh man, you know, for dinner we made smash burgers.

01:25:01.000 But we fried them in bacon grease.

01:25:04.000 And I'm like, it's the most delicious thing I've ever had.

01:25:06.000 And then I was like, oh, my stomach hurts.

01:25:07.000 So maybe I should do that again.

01:25:09.000 Anyway, my point is, I've been exercising, I've been skating literally my whole life.

01:25:14.000 So there's two things that come with this.

01:25:17.000 Skateboarding is, I guess it's considered a high risk, high impact sport.

01:25:21.000 Jumping off buildings, jumping down stairs.

01:25:23.000 It's an adrenaline rush nonstop.

01:25:26.000 It's not like active conflict or anything, but a lot of people told me it's unsurprising that I got involved in urban conflict reporting stuff, because when you're skateboarding, you're looking at something that's terrifying and dangerous, and you're going for it every time, and it's giving you that adrenaline rush.

01:25:41.000 So you are desensitized to that shock, and then you're like, oh, I can go and handle this, I'm not gonna get hurt.

01:25:47.000 But the physical ability, the physical activity of it, you know, I would be in, you know, just before Occupy Wall Street, for instance, I would skate eight hours a day, every single day with like one or two days off per week.

01:25:58.000 And so I would, man, I was consuming thousands of calories per day, like insane amounts of calories to try and keep up.

01:26:05.000 And if I didn't, I would pass out.

01:26:07.000 Like, some days I would just eat a couple thousand calories and I would just be like, I'll just chill today and maybe skate tomorrow because I can't do it.

01:26:13.000 And then there would be days where I was just like, I was shedding weight really, really.

01:26:17.000 Like, this period where I was in Virginia, I was in Newport News and I was skating at a park called Anti-Gravity.

01:26:21.000 I was skating so often, I lost like 10 pounds in a couple weeks.

01:26:25.000 Just like... But that exercise builds muscle.

01:26:30.000 increases your testosterone levels, you're going to be a certain kind of person.

01:26:33.000 Yeah.

01:26:33.000 Also, probably when you got into skateboarding, you were like, I don't know how old you were, but like, uh, probably.

01:26:39.000 Okay.

01:26:39.000 So you're a teenager, uh, boys going through puberty have obviously an increase in testosterone and it's linked to an increase in risk taking behavior.

01:26:47.000 So when your brain was forming, you learned how to take calculated risk physically.

01:26:51.000 Uh, I don't think these things, these traits of masculinity and testosterone don't have to be negative.

01:26:56.000 Yeah.

01:26:57.000 I think that they're conflating misogyny with masculinity.

01:27:00.000 I think that's on purpose, though.

01:27:02.000 It could be, because the Andrew Tate stuff, he said some stuff that was misogynist.

01:27:09.000 He's going to get some guys, trick them, get fake women, guys that pretend like they're women to chat with dudes to get their money. 0.52

01:27:15.000 Using women as an object, that's a bit misogynist.

01:27:18.000 But he's also very masculine.

01:27:20.000 He works out, he eats healthy, he's about motivation. 0.99

01:27:23.000 So you've got to strip away the misogynist crap from the hyper-masculine stuff or the masculine stuff. 0.95

01:27:28.000 And working out is definitely more of a masculine trait. 0.99

01:27:33.000 Nothing about it is misogynistic, in my opinion.

01:27:36.000 No, I don't think it has to be.

01:27:37.000 And I think part of it too is...

01:27:40.000 Men in particular are visually oriented, right?

01:27:43.000 So that's one of the reasons.

01:27:45.000 It's one of the great differences between men and women.

01:27:46.000 So for men, obviously seeing another fit man makes you think, oh, okay, this guy is conveying strength to me for a lot of different reasons.

01:27:55.000 But also if you feel strong, you feel good, you feel healthy, you are going to convey confidence.

01:27:59.000 Like there are lots of benefits to working out emotionally, psychologically, and physically.

01:28:05.000 And the fact that we are treating them like Well, I've got good news for fans of the show.

01:28:08.000 admitting on some level that you're an extremist, like, that's terrible. We should encourage people

01:28:14.000 to live healthy lives. I've got good news for fans of the show. We're putting out a new music video

01:28:20.000 soon, but it may be, you know, a month or two, as in soon.

01:28:24.000 And the reason, the song is done.

01:28:26.000 We need to film the video, and we could just film a video over a couple days, but instead

01:28:30.000 we're gonna be doing something much cooler than that.

01:28:33.000 And that is, the story centers around a guy who is, like, devolving.

01:28:39.000 He is withering away.

01:28:41.000 So, you know, throughout the course of the video, he's getting smaller, thinner, and frailer.

01:28:46.000 And so what we're doing is, Ian is going to film the final scene now, and then we're going to get him jacked with a very serious training regimen and massive amount of protein, and then he's going to film scene one.

01:28:59.000 So in the video, it actually goes in reverse order.

01:29:01.000 Like, in the first scene, you'll see Ian looking fit, kind of, you know, I don't want to say jacked or ripped or anything.

01:29:06.000 The idea is just to get Ian up 20 pounds of muscle or something like that.

01:29:10.000 And then by the end of it, Ian's looking as he does now.

01:29:13.000 It's so wild to consider doing a body change for a movie or role.

01:29:17.000 I've fantasized about it for 20 years.

01:29:18.000 Oh, what if I worked with a production company to pay me to get strong?

01:29:21.000 That's what it's all about in Hollywood when you land that role.

01:29:23.000 We got a trainer.

01:29:23.000 Yep.

01:29:24.000 We have a trainer tomorrow I'm meeting with, Brandon.

01:29:26.000 And this last week, I started working out about a week ago.

01:29:29.000 I started doing 100 pushups a day and going for a mile on the exercise bike.

01:29:32.000 And then I stopped because I was like, okay, we got to film this first scene.

01:29:36.000 I've been just atrophying, and it's like my... Did you feel better when you were doing it?

01:29:41.000 So much.

01:29:42.000 But almost like I'm afraid of myself.

01:29:44.000 Like, the way I get aggressive, like, physically... Not aggressive, like, not... But it's the word.

01:29:50.000 The word is aggressive, I guess.

01:29:51.000 But it's not, like, dangerously aggressive.

01:29:53.000 So you just have more energy?

01:29:55.000 Is it aggressive, or are you just, like, more alert?

01:29:57.000 More, more like less nervous energy, more stabilized energy.

01:30:01.000 Yeah, that doesn't have to be aggression.

01:30:03.000 That sounds good.

01:30:04.000 I bring it up for fans of the show because all of this high protein, high fat, high training diet, Ian's going to be like 20 pounds of muscles, his shirts are going to be tight, and he's going to become extremely conservative.

01:30:17.000 Him and Seamus are going to be high-fiving about religion.

01:30:17.000 He's going to be far right.

01:30:19.000 I got all rid of all my large t-shirts.

01:30:21.000 I might have to, all medium and smalls now, so I might have to buy some new.

01:30:24.000 So really, we're just using this music video to test MSNBC's article.

01:30:28.000 We're gonna prove it.

01:30:29.000 If you become a far-right extremist over the course of filming, then we'll know they were right.

01:30:33.000 We all owe them an apology.

01:30:34.000 We gotta get Seamus.

01:30:35.000 Seamus gotta get ripped, dude.

01:30:36.000 He's gonna be so excited.

01:30:37.000 Ian, all massive, sitting there in a tank top, being like, thanks for watching the show, guys.

01:30:41.000 I'll be doing a lot more t-shirts on the show.

01:30:43.000 Are far-right women who work out also masculine? 0.99

01:30:46.000 Is that the logic train there, too?

01:30:50.000 They don't care about women. 0.98

01:30:51.000 We're just the anti-man at MSNBC.

01:30:55.000 It was written by a woman.

01:30:56.000 Women that learn how to cook are hyper far right. 1.00

01:31:00.000 Women who wear dresses, hyper far right. 1.00

01:31:03.000 I think that this is like about guys that want to put women in the kitchen barefoot, like that masculine and misogynist, but that's misogynist with their ripped bodies.

01:31:13.000 What if that means he's just like getting healthy so he can support their family and she can stay at home?

01:31:17.000 Like that sounds nice to me.

01:31:19.000 I get the idea of like someone being domineering is wrong.

01:31:22.000 Sure.

01:31:23.000 I get that.

01:31:23.000 But like, I think part of this is just the mainstream's anti-gender norms agenda, right?

01:31:32.000 Like they don't like the idea that a man would want to be strong and classically masculine because that must mean that he doesn't believe in the values we believe in because nothing means anything and there's no gender.

01:31:44.000 I view it as the domestication of humans.

01:31:47.000 Because I think about how dogs came to be.

01:31:50.000 Wolves would scavenge. 0.55

01:31:51.000 The wolves that got close to the human camps were more likely to survive because there was more refuse to scavenge.

01:31:57.000 The humans that were less likely to fight off or scare off the wolves were more likely to survive because the wolves marking territory kept other larger predators away.

01:32:05.000 And then over thousands of years, The more, the closer a wolf could get to the humans, the more the human would tolerate, the higher likelihood of survival there was, until eventually, wolves would be walking through the camps, and they'd just be like, oh, we don't care.

01:32:17.000 Until eventually, wolves became proto-dogs, and then actually started hunting with humans, and then when humans realized, hey, like, these wolves are tracking down an elk, and then they'd run with the wolves, then they'd use a spear to take the game down, the wolves couldn't, they all got to eat better, right?

01:32:34.000 That's how dogs, they believe, came to be.

01:32:37.000 Ultimately, though, what dogs are?

01:32:39.000 Permanent wolf cubs.

01:32:41.000 Because the wolves that were aggressive would be killed or chased out by humans.

01:32:45.000 The wolves that were playful, happy, and loving were protected by humans.

01:32:50.000 So the wolves that survived became dogs.

01:32:53.000 Doofy, lovey, all happy.

01:32:55.000 Whereas wolves are like masculine and aggressive, like, back off man, this deer is mine.

01:33:00.000 They're far right.

01:33:00.000 Dogs are like, I got a deer for you, can I have some?

01:33:03.000 And so what we're seeing now with all of this don't work out, be fat, be lazy, is masculinity is bad.

01:33:10.000 Being fit is far right!

01:33:12.000 Don't do those things.

01:33:13.000 They don't want a manly man who is confident, collected and cool, and capable of taking down game and living on his own terms. 0.99

01:33:21.000 They want sad, pathetic, doughy, dependent men. 0.99

01:33:25.000 They want people to be permanent children, like how dogs got domesticated. 1.00

01:33:29.000 You think that's like the technocrats?

01:33:30.000 The ones that want to put us in pods?

01:33:33.000 It's the reptoids, bro.

01:33:34.000 It's all the lizard people underneath Denver Airport.

01:33:36.000 I'm kidding.

01:33:37.000 That's what I meant.

01:33:38.000 I think it may just be an emergent phenomenon.

01:33:39.000 I don't think anyone's actually intentionally doing it.

01:33:42.000 One of the things I think we see happening with words, terminology, opinion, is that women dominate journalism and writing fields. 1.00

01:33:54.000 And so you're getting this very feminine perspective on everything. 0.98

01:33:57.000 Sucks. 0.93

01:33:59.000 I would argue a feminist perspective, not feminine. 1.00

01:34:03.000 Yeah, feminist. 1.00

01:34:04.000 Because it's not moms who are writing news articles, it's typically unmarried women working jobs who are writing it, so it's a hyper-feminist, spinster view of the world that we're getting through all of this media. 1.00

01:34:16.000 So they don't need no men! 0.71

01:34:18.000 Meanwhile, actual working moms and working dads who are very happy with the way things are and love having a family and women who want to be moms, they're less likely to be represented in the media spaces.

01:34:27.000 Going conspiratorial here, but I bet, like, the lady who wrote this, her boyfriend probably, like, broke up with her and you've probably just gotten into, like, working out and been going to the gym.

01:34:35.000 He left her for a gym check and she's, like, so mad.

01:34:38.000 They're far right.

01:34:39.000 He could never reject me.

01:34:40.000 It was the gym.

01:34:42.000 Yeah, the gym corrupted him.

01:34:43.000 No, I think there is something to that.

01:34:45.000 I mean, I think of the concept of, you know, like, Yelp or any review site.

01:34:49.000 If you're happy with something, You're probably not going to leave a good review.

01:34:52.000 Maybe you are and I hope you do if that's your habit, but most people are willing to act when they have a negative review, when they don't want to say something good.

01:35:00.000 So when you have these channels where you can critique things, it is tempting to always be like, well, this is bad and here's something you should fear and here's this other thing that's going to corrupt you and working out makes you terrible.

01:35:12.000 Like, it's just this very bitter culture that we see emerging, which is ultimately eating away at people's sense of self and joy.

01:35:21.000 I noticed that, and I decided to kind of try to counter that.

01:35:24.000 At some, like on Twitter, I had a great flight with Delta, and I tweeted it out.

01:35:28.000 Best flight I've had experience in my life.

01:35:30.000 Delta, thank you.

01:35:31.000 Everybody was awesome.

01:35:31.000 But for every one of yours, I feel... People were like, I thought that, if that wasn't you Ian, I would have thought that was fake.

01:35:36.000 I would have thought you were paid shill, but I believe you, because it's you, because you have... Sorry, I... No, I just want to point out before the super chats, as for this woman who wrote this article, Cynthia Miller Idris, she's married.

01:35:47.000 And she hyphenated.

01:35:48.000 That's super common for journalism, though, I think.

01:35:54.000 They got married a very, very long time ago.

01:35:56.000 Maybe it was an affair.

01:35:58.000 When you Google search the writer, it pops right up.

01:36:00.000 I like your story better.

01:36:01.000 I think I'm right.

01:36:03.000 She was a professor?

01:36:05.000 Wait, what is it?

01:36:07.000 She was a gym instructor. 1.00

01:36:11.000 A Doctoral Candidate in Sociology at a University.

01:36:13.000 And she hyphenated.

01:36:15.000 I feel like we should read the article at some point or part of it.

01:36:19.000 I want to read her thesis now.

01:36:20.000 I don't want to do it dirty.

01:36:23.000 Don't worry, you're not.

01:36:24.000 It talks about neo-Nazi blogger Andrew Anglin advising his followers that fat people should be required to commit to losing weight.

01:36:28.000 Come on, we get it.

01:36:30.000 She goes there.

01:36:31.000 And at the very end she's like, well, fitness of course is a staple hobby for everybody and blah blah blah. 0.94

01:36:37.000 Yeah, no, we get it, dude.

01:36:38.000 I see.

01:36:39.000 For those of us working to find better pathways to reach at-risk youth, understanding the ways that far-right groups recruit and socialize youth in ways that go well beyond rhetoric and ideas is crucial.

01:36:49.000 Just, it's just, it's so crazy if you're like, look, young friend, your life will be better if you are in shape and you're eating healthy.

01:36:57.000 And they're like, he's trying to indoctrinate the kid.

01:36:59.000 I'll be like, I hope so.

01:37:01.000 I hope I can indoctrinate all of the children into eating right and being fit and healthy and living good moral lives. 0.99

01:37:06.000 You Michelle Obama crazy person. 0.98

01:37:07.000 Oh, I know, right? 1.00

01:37:08.000 Let's move.

01:37:09.000 The original extremist, Michelle Obama, trying to get the kids to eat healthy.

01:37:12.000 No, I think this is the thing, though.

01:37:13.000 At some point, it's going to be like, They never want you to be separated from your device.

01:37:18.000 It's actually hard to be constantly scrolling Twitter if you're working out, right?

01:37:22.000 Like, you have to step away for the moment.

01:37:24.000 And what if, on some level, this is saying, you know, when you're unhooked, I don't mean to be too much of a conspiratorial, you are not listening to us.

01:37:32.000 And so when that ends, like with children, they could either be after school to what?

01:37:36.000 Turn on the TV and sit down?

01:37:37.000 Or they could go play on their local soccer team and kids who are active are healthier and happier and the kids that are raised on tv are more dependent on the media.

01:37:45.000 Well the media needs to be dependent because that's how they make all their revenue.

01:37:48.000 I mean ultimately they are just saying when you are not plugged in you are not getting the information we think we need and that's that's a complete editorial take on my part but I think it's worth noting that like they could easily be saying like people who spend time in the sun become extremists because of no specific reason it's just some random observation we think we have.

01:38:40.000 That's awesome.

01:38:40.000 Very punctual.

01:38:41.000 Thank you, sir. 0.98

01:38:42.000 I just gotta say what kind of sick depraved mind would attack something that spotlights the sexual abuse and trafficking of children. 1.00

01:38:48.000 To those who did, please ask yourself, are we the baddies? 0.99

01:38:51.000 They are!

01:38:52.000 They know it!

01:38:53.000 They're comfortable with that.

01:38:54.000 They lied about an island where a wealthy guy was trafficking miners and abusing them, and powerful elites were abusing them.

01:39:02.000 Can we just point out, like, real quick that Prince Andrew and the photographs that emerged, like, come on.

01:39:09.000 Ghislaine Maxwell's in prison for these things? 0.99

01:39:13.000 And no client list?

01:39:15.000 Yeah.

01:39:16.000 Right.

01:39:17.000 And then the media comes out, and it's real simple. 0.95

01:39:19.000 People with power and money who are evil, disgusting child abusers pay good money to make sure it never sees the light of day. 0.98

01:39:24.000 God, that is so gross if that was real. 0.99

01:39:27.000 I think it might be. 0.96

01:39:27.000 It's so gross. 0.96

01:39:28.000 What do you mean, if?

01:39:29.000 My whole life, that, like, just, like, that dark possibility.

01:39:30.000 Wait, wait, wait, what do you mean?

01:39:31.000 FC got arrested!

01:39:32.000 I know.

01:39:33.000 He had the island!

01:39:34.000 We know!

01:39:34.000 It is a fact!

01:39:35.000 Do you think that that's like an organized criminal racket that's manipulating the media?

01:39:39.000 Like, how? 0.98

01:39:40.000 Dude, it's disgusting.

01:39:41.000 It's just crazy how, like, Alex Jones has been talking about it for a while, and they're like, ah, it's crazy conspiracy stuff, and then we get that expose, we get the leak from ABC about Virginia Giuffre with Amy Robach stuff, which ultimately Epstein gets arrested, Ghislaine Maxwell gets convicted, photos of Prince Andrew emerge, Dude, for me, it's like everybody now is like, yeah, that happened.

01:40:02.000 For me, it's the drinking blood.

01:40:03.000 They say that they drink blood of kids.

01:40:05.000 If that turns out that that is freaking real, I'm going to, I mean, I'm not going to lose it because I already lost it, but.

01:40:11.000 I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop on that one.

01:40:13.000 I'm gonna tell you this.

01:40:14.000 The reason why I think they say stuff like they're drinking blood is so that regular people don't

01:40:19.000 believe it.

01:40:20.000 It's too far.

01:40:21.000 Right.

01:40:21.000 So if you said something like there are powerful pedophiles trafficking children,

01:40:25.000 it's probably like, well, I mean, yeah, we know about what goes on in some of these other

01:40:28.000 countries.

01:40:29.000 So what happens is this is what we saw with a very prominent conspiracy theory pertaining

01:40:35.000 to children and a pizza restaurant.

01:40:37.000 on.

01:40:38.000 All of a sudden these crazy conspiracies emerge about a basement and about other stuff that's clearly false.

01:40:43.000 So what happens is, you start seeing these emails come out.

01:40:48.000 And they say stuff like, would it be more fun playing dominoes on pizza or pasta?

01:40:53.000 And then, what could that be about?

01:40:55.000 Obvious.

01:40:56.000 Drugs.

01:40:57.000 There's code names for drugs all the time.

01:40:59.000 These were high-profile political individuals emailing each other, and they were probably saying, like, hey, if we're gonna go party, should it be crack or should it be heroin or something?

01:41:08.000 Like, whatever the code was.

01:41:10.000 In order to get people off the trail, A wild, insane conspiracy comes out that says there's a sub-basement where children are being trafficked and these things mean kids.

01:41:19.000 Now all of a sudden, the decentralized network of individuals on the internet who are tracking down what this could be go in the wrong direction.

01:41:26.000 So when they come out and they're like, did you know that they're kidnapping kids and drinking their blood? 0.99

01:41:29.000 You tell that to the average person and go, shut up! 1.00

01:41:31.000 Shut up. 1.00

01:41:32.000 You say adrenochrome, they're gonna go, shut up. 1.00

01:41:35.000 If you told people that for a fact we have known for a long time that there are creepy sex hotels and child trafficking going on, well, duh. 0.96

01:41:43.000 And we're trying to stop it.

01:41:44.000 And then if you said there are high-profile wealthy individuals who are involved in it, they'll say, like who?

01:41:49.000 You gotta prove that, man.

01:41:50.000 That's a bold claim.

01:41:52.000 But that's something someone's really, they're willing to listen to.

01:41:55.000 If you come out and say, like, Epstein's got this flight log, they call it Elite Express, powerful individuals are flying to this island, there are underage girls there, people are like, wow, that's a bold claim to make about a lot of these people.

01:42:05.000 Do you have proof?

01:42:07.000 Then you add in, and they're drinking their blood because they're doing rituals to say, okay, dude, you've lost me, go have a nice day.

01:42:12.000 Yeah, I think transfusions are probably way more, I mean, I know that people get, healthy people hooked up to IVs and will get transfusions, like, In Silicon Valley, like adults with adults.

01:42:22.000 Yeah, I forgot what it's called.

01:42:23.000 We talked about it before.

01:42:24.000 Blood replacement therapy.

01:42:26.000 Stuff like that.

01:42:26.000 Yeah, there was that guy who spent all the money to be young, and then his dad is using his blood to stay young.

01:42:31.000 Is that what he's doing?

01:42:32.000 Yeah, and then he's using his son's blood, and I don't... I am not a medical scientist.

01:42:35.000 I don't know.

01:42:36.000 I'm not saying they're not doing it.

01:42:38.000 I'm just saying, I always tell people of the wildest conspiracy theories, hey, just start from step one, right?

01:42:42.000 Like, don't take- Microdose.

01:42:44.000 Yeah, like, don't- Ease into it.

01:42:47.000 If you think it's true, you're not helping yourself by asserting something you've not yet proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

01:42:53.000 So why don't we start and say, hey, we have probable cause for an investigation because Epstein has been accused of this thing and convicted, and he's still operating this plane.

01:43:02.000 Fair place to start.

01:43:03.000 Hey, ultimately he gets arrested. 0.89

01:43:05.000 Now, as for everything else, you know, we'll keep the investigation, we'll keep the pressure on, but good luck there because powerful people are protecting those sickos.

01:43:12.000 Anyway, let's read some more.

01:43:14.000 I'm Not Your Buddy Guy continues, says, I also think it's fair to say the Biden administration has crossed the Rubicon.

01:43:19.000 I'd argue it happened in 2020, and there is no going back as they forge ahead.

01:43:22.000 I had a feeling like that on July 4th when I saw Hunter all tweaking out, allegedly, behind them on stage.

01:43:29.000 I was like, did we just witness the dark?

01:43:32.000 The dark evolution of Joe Biden and his family like that. 0.96

01:43:36.000 It was just so corrupt.

01:43:37.000 So viscerally corrupt that he had Hunter flaunting it in front of all of our faces and then they arrest this whistleblower like within a week on top of the state dinner where they had him running around saying hi rubbing shoulders with everyone.

01:43:49.000 I think was like the day after he allegedly got incited or arrested for the tax fraud.

01:43:55.000 It's so it's so In your face.

01:43:57.000 But that's the point.

01:43:58.000 I stand by it.

01:43:59.000 They don't feel like the consequences matter to them.

01:44:01.000 They feel like they're untouchable.

01:44:02.000 And they are proving it every single day.

01:44:04.000 Imagine, by the way, imagine if they get away with this, like what they're going to do after his presidency ends, like who they're going to grift and sell out to.

01:44:11.000 That's that's why we have to win this battle.

01:44:13.000 That's why it's so important.

01:44:14.000 I still think, though, you know, with the clear demise of Joe Biden, there is a certain level of like who is going to harness power, because now Hunter Biden is He's almost too high profile and too obvious a target.

01:44:28.000 I don't know who in their circle is going to inherit the power is all I think.

01:44:31.000 They'll get all that Ukraine money back somehow.

01:44:35.000 All right.

01:44:36.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:44:38.000 says, Tim, righty influencers lying about broken brain sniffing and everyone knowing that they're lying discredits us non-cult.

01:44:47.000 It helps not the mission when they blatantly lie.

01:44:49.000 They need to be called out.

01:44:50.000 I think, I think, Raymond, you're referring to the DeSantis thing.

01:44:53.000 We didn't get into too much detail, but DeSantis has a quote where he says, It was under Donald Trump that these intelligence agencies, the FBI, etc., were colluding with big tech to censor Americans, and Trump should have fired them.

01:45:06.000 The Hill reported DeSantis claims the Trump administration colluded with big tech, which then gets translated by Trump supporters into, quote, Trump colluded against himself or something like that.

01:45:18.000 A gross mischaracterization.

01:45:20.000 You can argue that Trump did not know it was happening.

01:45:23.000 And so, oh, well, DeSantis shouldn't have said that because, of course, they should have been fine.

01:45:26.000 But how was Trump supposed to know?

01:45:28.000 My argument is actually Trump should have known.

01:45:30.000 We had a White House summit about this.

01:45:33.000 We all came, a bunch of people went to the White House to meet with Trump and a bunch of other influential individuals in government to tell them censorship was a very serious problem and it was going to prevent him from winning again.

01:45:45.000 And look, You can argue it was to benefit his political campaign, sure, but the point was we want everyone the ability to speak.

01:45:52.000 The fact that anyone would be censored, and I pointed this out there too, I said, hey look, there are anti-war leftists that are getting censored as well, there are accounts like Occupy Wall Street accounts that have been censored.

01:46:01.000 We should make sure all of it's done away with and not just be hyper-partisan, and people there agreed.

01:46:05.000 So Donald Trump should have known to investigate this to get the DOJ or someone looking into it.

01:46:13.000 He didn't do it.

01:46:14.000 So I agree with Ron DeSantis mostly on this point and I think there's a lot of Trump supporters coming out and they're mischaracterizing what he said.

01:46:23.000 There's no point.

01:46:24.000 Like you're not doing yourself any favors.

01:46:26.000 Anyway, let's read some more.

01:46:28.000 What do we got?

01:46:29.000 Drek Neviskay says, please watch Sounds of Freedom.

01:46:33.000 Sound of Freedom.

01:46:34.000 May God bless you, love you Tim, and the hot lady there, Hannah's hot too. 1.00

01:46:38.000 Well, okay, there you go.

01:46:39.000 Um, the theater by us had it listed as Sounds of Freedom.

01:46:43.000 Oh.

01:46:43.000 Plural.

01:46:43.000 Do you think that's intentional?

01:46:44.000 Or do you think they really just don't know?

01:46:45.000 Maybe they just don't know.

01:46:46.000 I'm so paranoid that I'm like, are they doing it on purpose so people can't find it?

01:46:49.000 I want to point out, Sound of Freedom was in about, I think, 55 to 60% of the theaters that Indiana Jones was in.

01:46:56.000 And so, well, this is normal.

01:46:58.000 Not every movie plays in every single theater.

01:47:01.000 A big release like Indiana Jones, it's going to be in every theater.

01:47:04.000 Uh, every major theater.

01:47:06.000 Sound of Freedom was only able to get in, I think, 2,600 theaters.

01:47:10.000 There were people messaging us saying, I really want to go see it, but it's not playing near me.

01:47:14.000 Yup.

01:47:15.000 Imagine how much more money it would have made if it was in more theaters. 0.99

01:47:19.000 I think this movie is going to shatter 100 million.

01:47:22.000 I think it's likely that this week is when the word-of-mouth wave hits.

01:47:28.000 And now people are going to be, you're going to see it in the news.

01:47:31.000 40 million, Rotten Tomatoes score, 90s, you know, or whatever.

01:47:34.000 The reviews are really good.

01:47:36.000 Even the actual reviewers who are corporate press, they're actually saying nice things about it.

01:47:42.000 Variety wrote some nice things about it.

01:47:43.000 The people screaming about it are like leftist cult member websites and political sites.

01:47:47.000 But the actual movie reviewers are like, it's okay to good.

01:47:51.000 I was rating a review from Roger Ebert.

01:47:53.000 They gave it two stars.

01:47:54.000 And I'm like, what is it?

01:47:55.000 Two out of four or something like that?

01:47:56.000 Is four their limit?

01:47:57.000 I don't know.

01:47:58.000 And I'm like, it was a sad, oh it's boring, whatever, it's a thriller, I guess.

01:48:04.000 And it's like, hey man, if average is the best you can muster up, that's a good thing.

01:48:09.000 Because a bunch of other movies they just claim get zero stars.

01:48:11.000 Zero, no good, don't watch it.

01:48:13.000 No, this one's getting good reviews across the board.

01:48:16.000 I think now what's going to happen is, this week, the word of mouth is going to ripple out exponentially.

01:48:21.000 I think by the end of the week, Sound of Freedom's at 100 million.

01:48:25.000 Definitely go see it.

01:48:26.000 Yeah, and I don't want to be wrong, so you gotta go see it.

01:48:29.000 Because, man, I will be so embarrassed if next week it's not at 100 million.

01:48:33.000 So if you want to really help me out in being right, you'll go see it.

01:48:38.000 That's the only reason to go.

01:48:38.000 That's the only reason.

01:48:39.000 Just support Tim and go see this other movie.

01:48:41.000 Just support my ego.

01:48:43.000 No, I mean, yo, you will enjoy it, man.

01:48:47.000 It's like a movie that matters.

01:48:48.000 It's really cool to see how well it's doing considering that too.

01:48:51.000 That's like something that matters is succeeding.

01:48:53.000 It's probably good to see so when you're around other people and you're like, oh I saw this great movie, you guys can talk about it.

01:49:00.000 You know?

01:49:00.000 It's probably a good way to find people who are interested in similar things than you.

01:49:03.000 Oh, definitely.

01:49:04.000 If you go to the movie theater to see this movie, you know that everyone in the theater is probably in agreement with you on a lot of issues.

01:49:09.000 Now going to the movie makes you a far-right extremist.

01:49:12.000 Then you guys can go to the gym, and then after that you can yell at your wives. 0.97

01:49:16.000 Next up on MSNBC, why opposing child trafficking makes you far-right?

01:49:21.000 Literally, though, they didn't publish that yet.

01:49:24.000 Right, exactly.

01:49:26.000 Jason Dixon says, hey Tim, I am obligated to tell the world Raymond Stanley Jr.

01:49:30.000 is the greatest person ever.

01:49:31.000 Please come to Discord and tell him at Atmore sent you.

01:49:35.000 Well alright.

01:49:35.000 Atmore.

01:49:37.000 I got on Discord after many weeks of procrastinating, but I have to say I really don't understand the interface.

01:49:43.000 I don't know if it's just me being a boomer, but there's something about it.

01:49:46.000 I don't know where I go to talk.

01:49:48.000 There's a learning curve.

01:49:52.000 It throws a lot at you, but that's why it's so great, because there's so much you can do.

01:49:57.000 I'll get notifications that I don't know where the messages are.

01:50:00.000 Mark Hanson says, never cried before, bearing a family death, until watching Sound of Freedom.

01:50:05.000 I went alone last night.

01:50:06.000 Taking my entire family, including grandparents, Wednesday, keep up the great work.

01:50:10.000 I really want to just describe the opening scene, but I'm not going to do it.

01:50:14.000 Wait like two weeks, give people a chance to see it.

01:50:16.000 Because it's so, it's so well, I don't know man.

01:50:21.000 I don't want to say it's good, because it's horrifying.

01:50:23.000 It's well done.

01:50:24.000 It's so well done, you feel it.

01:50:26.000 Riveting.

01:50:27.000 Oh man, the dread, the anger, the sadness.

01:50:31.000 The opening sequence.

01:50:33.000 Like, the opening scene.

01:50:35.000 Oh man.

01:50:36.000 Dude, I really wanna just- I'm not gonna say anything.

01:50:39.000 I'm just- I really want to.

01:50:39.000 Yeah.

01:50:41.000 You gotta see it.

01:50:42.000 You gotta see it.

01:50:42.000 You guys all have to go so Tim can finally talk about it.

01:50:45.000 He really wants to.

01:50:45.000 I know.

01:50:46.000 Oh, I just wanna talk about it so bad.

01:50:48.000 That's awesome.

01:50:49.000 Dude, that- We'll talk about it after the show in private.

01:50:53.000 I don't want to spoil it for anybody.

01:50:55.000 You're going to see it in the first 15 minutes.

01:50:57.000 You're going to be gripping the side of your theater chair.

01:51:01.000 The women are all crying.

01:51:02.000 The men are getting angry.

01:51:04.000 Some of the men are tearing up with rage.

01:51:07.000 Dude.

01:51:08.000 It makes you wish you were Superman.

01:51:10.000 It makes you wish you could just fly and walk through these evil people, grabbing them and throwing them in the squad

01:51:18.000 cars, in the vehicles, in the prisons, and not have to...

01:51:23.000 It's the saddest and terrifying thing of reality, knowing that even in the most dire of circumstances, at best, with

01:51:31.000 you and this evil before you, you're on equal conflict footing.

01:51:35.000 Like, if you're a cop and you're armed and you're facing down these gangs, these traffickers, they're armed too.

01:51:40.000 And we just wish that you could walk through them like Superman and just end this evil that they're engaged in.

01:51:46.000 And I'm gonna tell you one thing, it's not a spoiler.

01:51:49.000 But it's like one of the truly most shocking things of the film that really hits you is when you see it when you see people like Hand a kid, throw a kid into a bin, and then someone hands him a wad of cash.

01:52:02.000 Like, they literally just treat these people like... Wow.

01:52:05.000 This is crazy.

01:52:07.000 Jorge Ventura got me this.

01:52:09.000 It's a little wristband from a kid that was dragged across the border.

01:52:13.000 It says, entrejas, which means delivered.

01:52:15.000 Yup.

01:52:16.000 Delivered.

01:52:17.000 There's like cattle.

01:52:19.000 This is $4,186.

01:52:20.000 And then that guy crosses the border and someone hands him a stack of cash.

01:52:23.000 And he's like, thanks.

01:52:24.000 And then he walks away, not caring at all as to what he just did.

01:52:27.000 You gotta see that movie.

01:52:29.000 Alright, we'll grab some more.

01:52:33.000 Where are we at?

01:52:35.000 Dylan Binkley says, I see threads crashing and burning much like Mixer did when Microsoft tried to compete with Twitch.

01:52:42.000 Yeah, I agree.

01:52:43.000 Look, the difference is that Instagram is a platform people use, and a lot of people on Instagram don't use Twitter.

01:52:49.000 So, Mark Zuckerberg made a good call with this in that there are a lot of people who will just, you click a button and, doop, you've got a Threads account.

01:52:55.000 That's why a hundred million people have signed up.

01:52:59.000 But I gotta be honest.

01:53:00.000 What doesn't work for me is, like, I like watching this one guy does backflips.

01:53:04.000 Parkour guy.

01:53:05.000 And now I see him posting about going to Taco Bell.

01:53:07.000 Like, bro, I literally don't care you went to Taco Bell.

01:53:09.000 I just want to see you do a backflip. 0.91

01:53:10.000 You know what I mean?

01:53:11.000 I honestly spend as little time on meta products as possible.

01:53:14.000 The tracking, the amount of tracking that it does to sell your data and to do experiments on you, um, no thank you.

01:53:21.000 I have them both.

01:53:22.000 I've had Facebook for 15 years, but more than that.

01:53:25.000 It always makes me think about that hearing from maybe like 2018 where one of the Facebook execs was like, yeah, we made like a very, very small algorithm change in like millions upon millions of people.

01:53:36.000 All of their online rhetoric got instantly angrier.

01:53:39.000 It's like they just admitted to having such control and power and nothing came of it, you know?

01:53:44.000 So yeah, meta does kind of rub me the wrong way.

01:53:47.000 You know, I'm very wary.

01:53:48.000 Maybe if I talk to Mark Zuckerberg, I'd feel a little better. 0.92

01:53:51.000 But it's that, it's the software itself, that proprietary crap, and the tracking mechanisms.

01:53:56.000 Blue de Goyer says, Tim, we have a road trip drama feature slated for next spring, studio director.

01:54:02.000 Tried sending script to Ian, but he hasn't responded.

01:54:05.000 Happy to product place your coffee in one of the scenes, no charge.

01:54:08.000 Where do I send the script?

01:54:10.000 Uh, don't... Don't send me script.

01:54:14.000 Who sent me a script for this is a movie they want to sell?

01:54:17.000 I don't think we can accept scripts.

01:54:19.000 I'm not sure.

01:54:20.000 We don't take submissions because there's legal implications.

01:54:22.000 Yeah, you're not legally allowed to.

01:54:24.000 Like, you are, but basically what happens is, the reason why no one will accept any solicited materials is because then you get into IP disputes.

01:54:32.000 Yes, if I end up writing something that is akin to what you wrote, but I actually never saw what you wrote, then you might have a grounds to be like, hey, I sent that to you, that's evidence that you ripped me off.

01:54:42.000 Yeah, and then we're like, nope, because we don't accept those.

01:54:44.000 I don't want to turn it all off though, so I don't know.

01:54:47.000 But I'll tell you what, feel free to place Cast Brew Coffee products in any film, at any point, and have people drink them.

01:54:55.000 As long as they like them, and then they tell other people to get Cast Brew Coffee.

01:54:55.000 That'd be great.

01:54:59.000 As long as at least one person does.

01:55:00.000 Like, if you write a whole scene where two guys are arguing over whether it's good or not, I'm totally okay with that.

01:55:04.000 Like, this coffee's terrible.

01:55:05.000 Are you kidding?

01:55:06.000 It's some of the best I've ever had.

01:55:07.000 Why?

01:55:07.000 What?

01:55:07.000 What are you talking about?

01:55:09.000 You're like social media, where the negative feedback is also good, because people will then be like, well, what is that coffee?

01:55:14.000 I'm just saying it gets me more screen time.

01:55:15.000 Have it where the guy's, like, breaking in, and the guy splashes hot cast brew in his face, and he's like, ahhh!

01:55:20.000 And he, like, saves the day.

01:55:22.000 We're working on that Seamus... the Seamus coffee.

01:55:28.000 Yeah, we got some good ideas.

01:55:29.000 It's gonna be fun.

01:55:30.000 I forgot what... I think we came up with a name.

01:55:32.000 Irish... Irish Blend or something?

01:55:33.000 No, he's... We came up with a name for it.

01:55:36.000 I gotta talk to him.

01:55:36.000 We gotta figure it out.

01:55:37.000 It was funny, I tweeted today that there's an Irishman who lives under my house and he keeps stealing my spoons, but no one will believe me. 1.00

01:55:42.000 Did all of your spoons reappear suddenly?

01:55:46.000 But it's funny, it's actually Seamus' joke.

01:55:49.000 So basically, Seamus had to return our spoons because he was eating with them and then, you know, putting them in his sink and not returning them to us.

01:55:59.000 And so then we were like, yo, Seamus, you gotta bring the spoons back.

01:56:01.000 And he's like, oh, sorry about that.

01:56:03.000 And then it's like, it wasn't really anything that mattered until he was like, there's an Irishman living under my house stealing all of my spoons. 0.98

01:56:08.000 And it was like one of the funniest things he said.

01:56:10.000 So I was like, that's actually a good point.

01:56:12.000 You phrase it that way, no one will believe you.

01:56:15.000 But if it's actually like, there's a guy who lives in my apartment and he borrowed silverware from me and then we asked him for it back.

01:56:19.000 It's actually just like, oh, well, that's like not news.

01:56:22.000 That's not interesting at all.

01:56:23.000 But so I had to tweet it because it was funny.

01:56:25.000 He lives under my house.

01:56:26.000 He keeps stealing my spoons.

01:56:28.000 No one will believe me.

01:56:30.000 The Moffinator says, yeah, because Jack White has the same star power as Guy Fieri, Mark Wahlberg, Mel Gibson, and Joe Rogan.

01:56:36.000 What a joke.

01:56:37.000 Yup.

01:56:38.000 What a joke.

01:56:39.000 Yeah, I want to see this guy host Diners, Drivers, and Dives and see what he does.

01:56:43.000 He could never.

01:56:44.000 That show makes me so hungry.

01:56:46.000 I'm telling you, it was a classic.

01:56:49.000 You shake people's hands!

01:56:51.000 It's the weirdest thing!

01:56:52.000 Yeah, of course.

01:56:52.000 Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, is at a UFC game, and you're like, nice to meet ya, have a nice day.

01:56:56.000 And Jack White's like... You know what I think is really the deal?

01:57:01.000 Jack White never got to meet Trump.

01:57:03.000 Jealousy.

01:57:04.000 Interesting.

01:57:04.000 It's envy.

01:57:05.000 It's clearly envy.

01:57:07.000 He's sitting there probably in his, you know, like, where's he been?

01:57:10.000 Is he relevant?

01:57:11.000 What's going on with him?

01:57:12.000 He's making music?

01:57:13.000 He's probably sitting there being like, why aren't I there with everybody, you know, everyone loving me and being famous?

01:57:18.000 Why am I sitting here on Instagram complaining about the world?

01:57:20.000 It's FOMO.

01:57:21.000 He's sad that he wasn't invited.

01:57:24.000 Because you have Guy Fieri.

01:57:26.000 He's probably thinking, like, I'm 10 times more famous than that guy.

01:57:28.000 And I don't get to meet Trump?

01:57:30.000 Well, no, but Trump's, I don't even want to meet him. 0.99

01:57:32.000 He's racist. 0.98

01:57:33.000 You know, we shouldn't call it sour grapes. 0.99

01:57:35.000 We should call it something else. 0.97

01:57:36.000 We'd be like, we should call it Trump is racist. 0.99

01:57:38.000 Just bitter. 0.99

01:57:39.000 Yeah.

01:57:39.000 You guys know the sour grapes parable or whatever, right?

01:57:42.000 No.

01:57:42.000 Fox walks up to a tree and he sees a grape vine hanging from the branch.

01:57:45.000 He's like, ooh, grapes, I'm going to get them.

01:57:46.000 Jumps in the air, misses, jumps in the air, misses.

01:57:49.000 And he starts getting frustrated.

01:57:49.000 He jumps again and he can't get him.

01:57:51.000 He goes, ah, those grapes are sour anyway.

01:57:53.000 The point being you insult the thing you couldn't get.

01:57:56.000 That's literally what he's doing.

01:57:57.000 It's sour grapes.

01:57:58.000 Jack White doesn't get to be there at the main event for this big fight where all these celebrities are sitting with Trump and everyone's making a big deal about it.

01:58:06.000 Kid Rock and, you know, Mike Tyson, Joe Rogan, like whatever.

01:58:10.000 And he's sitting at home grumbling about how his time has come and gone. 0.98

01:58:14.000 And so he's like, yeah, well, Trump's a racist anyway.

01:58:18.000 I feel like that about Burt Kreischer, because I'm always like, when I see him on with Tom Segura on Two Bears 1K, everyone who's doing rock, I'm always like, man, he's not even that great anyway.

01:58:26.000 Which is because I want to be Burt's best friend.

01:58:28.000 I love you, Burt.

01:58:30.000 I love you.

01:58:30.000 It's good that you could admit it.

01:58:31.000 He's a good guy.

01:58:32.000 I like Bruce.

01:58:32.000 He's awesome.

01:58:33.000 I love Radiohead.

01:58:34.000 Hey Tim, has anyone ever told you that your singing voice sounds similar to the lead singer of Radiohead?

01:58:38.000 It does to me anyway. Hope you take this as a compliment. I love Radiohead. They're fantastic

01:58:42.000 No one has ever told me that although I will say back in the day when I used to play rock band

01:58:47.000 I could perfect Radio- create my Radiohead

01:58:52.000 Yeah, perfect it Now, to be fair, singing on rock band isn't like real singing.

01:58:58.000 You're just matching the tones.

01:59:00.000 So you're like watching a little line going and going like, ooh, until it lines up.

01:59:05.000 But if you actually sing it, you can like catch it.

01:59:08.000 But yeah, that's like the only song I was ever able to actually master at like the full five stars or whatever.

01:59:12.000 A good use of artificial intelligence would be to match the tone of your voice and be like, how much were you feeling it?

01:59:18.000 And then it can score you on that.

01:59:20.000 Jason McCart says, does Tim know he makes an appearance in John McNaughton's Speak the Truth painting?

01:59:25.000 What an honor.

01:59:26.000 I saw that, I looked it up, and sure enough, I do have an appearance in that painting.

01:59:31.000 Where is it?

01:59:32.000 Is it here?

01:59:33.000 It looks super cool.

01:59:34.000 Wait, there it is.

01:59:35.000 Yeah, I don't know if you guys want to look up Speak the Truth, McNaughton Fine Art.

01:59:40.000 It's a fantastic painting.

01:59:42.000 There's like Charlie Kirk, there's me, I think that's Jack Posobiec, there's Candace Owens, James O'Keefe.

01:59:50.000 It looks like Sean Hannity's there.

01:59:52.000 Tucker Carlson's walking up and they're handing papers to the Founding Fathers.

01:59:57.000 What a great picture.

01:59:59.000 America's great.

02:00:09.000 Randall Morgan says testosterone changed my life.

02:00:11.000 I tested low and have been taking it for nine months.

02:00:14.000 I feel like I was sick before.

02:00:16.000 Now I feel good.

02:00:17.000 Energy, motivation, metabolism, and strength all changed.

02:00:20.000 That's right.

02:00:21.000 It's good stuff.

02:00:22.000 You can get it from exercise too.

02:00:24.000 You get a lot from lifting.

02:00:25.000 So the big plan with Ian.

02:00:28.000 Is that, uh, no cardio.

02:00:30.000 It's not gonna be, like, cardio stuff, it's gonna be, like, strength stuff.

02:00:33.000 But we'll see, I don't know.

02:00:34.000 We got a trainer, and, uh, you gotta eat a lot of steak.

02:00:36.000 It's kinda like, I don't know a lot about it yet, but when you do strength training, you're doing burst muscle moves, and then you don't wanna do cardio, cause the cardio actually lets the blood flow out, is that right?

02:00:47.000 So you wanna, like, just pinch it off and kinda hope that the swell takes over?

02:00:51.000 I don't know!

02:00:51.000 The trainer will know.

02:00:52.000 What I do know is we're going to go to the Members Only section over at TimCast.com, so head over to TimCast.com, click Join Us, and that will be live in a few minutes.
