On today's show, we have a special guest, Lee Smith, author of The Perpetual Coup, a book about the Trump administration and how the media got it wrong about a lot of things. We talk about the Biden inflation crisis, the drought in California, and why it's a bad time to buy a house.
00:01:27.000They're issuing rations now because the water is so low.
00:01:30.000It's gonna get bad, and it may be worse than the last drought.
00:01:32.000So, I guess that means your avocados are gone, and I don't know, humans don't eat alfalfa, but that means your cows won't be eating alfalfa.
00:01:41.000But I think things are going to start getting worse because when you have Joe Biden pumping six trillion dollars into the economy with a spending package, meanwhile, they're also paying people not to work.
00:01:49.000Demand is being artificially increased, while supply is being artificially decreased, and that is just a recipe for an economic explosion.
00:03:00.000At the time it was reported, we were like, they had pre-scheduled the clearing of the protesters.
00:03:04.000Yeah, it turns out that if you want to have a pretty good understanding of what happened during the four years of the Trump administration, you have to read everything in reverse.
00:03:13.000You have to read everything backwards.
00:03:38.000You'd have done much better all throughout COVID and all throughout a lot of things if you just said like, well, if that's what The New York Times and The Washington Post and CNN is leading with, I'm going the other direction.
00:03:50.000Because no sane person at this point would risk their own fate or the fate of their families on what's being reported in the press.
00:05:07.000I am also here in the corner, and I'm very excited to learn that reading the news with a mirror held up to it is the way to go, because that's what I've been doing, and it's worked great for me.

00:07:49.000You may have seen the news I covered a little bit earlier today.
00:07:51.000Consumer prices jumped 5% in May at the fastest, this is the fastest pace since the summer of 2008, just before the market went They say headline consumer prices rose 5% year-over-year in May, the fastest pace since August 2008, and higher than Wall Street expectations.
00:08:09.000The 3.8% rise in the core inflation rate, which excludes foods and energy prices, was the sharpest increase in nearly three decades.
00:08:17.000Surging used car prices helped drive much of the inflation gains.
00:08:21.000Initial jobless claims totaled $376,000, a touch higher than the estimate.
00:08:27.000I don't know exactly what's going to happen.
00:08:29.000You got a bunch of weird articles and you can't really believe the news.
00:09:18.000has been a soothsayer of sadness and gloom for ages now, and has spent a lot of time on the wrong side of the record bull market recovery since the financial crisis of 2008.
00:09:27.000Currently, he is calling for the stock market to crash with lightning speed, potentially starting within the next six weeks.
00:09:39.000I guess, doomsaying stories that are out there.
00:09:41.000Because if you read mainstream media, they're telling everybody it's all gonna be okay.
00:09:45.000They're like, oh yeah, it's just, you know, demand hasn't caught up to supply yet, and once it does, it's gonna be a big boom for everybody.
00:10:41.000What happens when a bunch of working-class people put tons of money into, say, like, Dogecoin or something, or these meme stocks, and they leverage hard against it?
00:10:48.000So you've got... Some people have said they've leveraged all their assets and their credit lines to buy, like, a hundred K in AMC because they know it's gonna go up.
00:11:18.000And I'll tell you this, if you look at the market pre-2008 crash, the people who held on to their assets for dear life, They made out like bandits.
00:12:19.000People see what's happening with inflation and what are people doing.
00:12:22.000People want to buy houses, even though they understand that with inflation, the value is going to take a hit, but that's something that's long-term.
00:12:30.000And I hear people all the time, friends, not necessarily finance professionals, saying put your money in something real that's going to last.
00:12:38.000We know different commodities like artwork, even things I hear people talking about, not just Bitcoin, baseball cards, things like that.
00:12:51.000People are spending ridiculous amounts of money on nonsense.
00:12:55.000So I gotta I gotta wonder, man, if you got a bunch of young people right now.
00:12:59.000So I mean, I think about this, like, who are these people who are who are the retail investors that are investing heavily in crypto and these meme stocks?
00:13:06.000And what if what if there is a market crash?
00:13:08.000I mean, we're looking at consumer prices skyrocketing.
00:14:19.000Because people got to get back to work.
00:14:21.000A lot of the red states are trying to block this, get people back to work.
00:14:26.000In the state we're in now, South Carolina, the governor has at least tried to put his foot down, and I think that's happening in other red states too.
00:14:52.000The states with the highest rate of vaccination are all blue.
00:14:55.000The state with the lowest vaccination are all red.
00:14:57.000The only states that defy that anomaly are the states that, you know, Trump and Trump supporters are contesting for the, you know, in the election, which is also, you know, just kind of a funny thing to point out.
00:15:05.000But I have to wonder, you know, the red states are clearly defiant to the blue states.
00:15:10.000The blue states want hard lockdowns, they want command economy, they want total economic control.
00:15:15.000At what point do the red states just say no?
00:15:18.000Because with Texas and Florida reopening and banning vaccine passports, clearly they're telling Biden to go shove it.
00:15:26.000But I mean, can this keep up for the next few years?
00:15:29.000What happens when, you know, as I pointed this out the other day, if someone who lives in Texas can't go to Washington because they have vaccine passports, right?
00:15:37.000So I just bring that up in the context of, you know, where we're at economically and how, what did we see before COVID?
00:15:44.000These blue states were in massive debt.
00:16:22.000Because even though that you destroyed your city, even though you were part of rioting last spring and summer and you tore your city to shreds, don't worry, Joe Biden's got the bill.
00:16:34.000Don't worry, you can keep this all closed.
00:16:37.000Don't worry, people don't have to work because Uncle Joe's covering it.
00:16:41.000Yeah, it was basically like, let them burn everything down, blame it on Trump, and then Joe Biden will cover the debts.
00:16:58.000Are people saying, are people saying, yeah, just, you know, if you're going to come here, you know, if you're going to come here, behave yourself.
00:17:05.000If you're going to come to the red states, if you're going to come to Florida, I mean, what, Florida's still getting, they must still be getting maybe more, a thousand, a thousand new residents a day.
00:18:16.000It might be an exciting time in the country, politically, where the states start reasserting what they're about, and you have, therefore, you have the governor of Texas and others saying, stepping up for American Airlines, if that's the way it's gonna go, stepping up and saying, we're looking out for our business as well, and we understand, and here's how we're gonna push back against New York.
00:18:39.000If New York tries to hurt our business, Our business people, we're going to push back on them in this way.
00:18:45.000But I think the problem is, it's always going to favor those who are the most stubborn in terms of the negotiation, right?
00:18:54.000So if New York says, look, the people of New York demand the Excelsior pass, if you want to come here and go into this building, you need your pass.
00:19:01.000And then Texas can complain all they want, and New York will be like, look, you want business from us?
00:19:07.000The issue is, you've got stubborn New York making a demand, and you've got more libertarian, or libertarian-esque Dallas-Fort Worth, you know, people saying, fine, we'll just do it, it's easier, and we get the deal done.
00:19:21.000So the pressure from the stubborn states will work on those who are less concerned about some of these issues.
00:19:25.000It's easier in some ways if Texas voters, for instance, I mean, this is, you know, for instance, if Texas voters say, if you make that deal, you're in big trouble.
00:19:33.000If the governor makes that deal and is going to force us to conduct our business... No, no, I don't mean that.
00:21:06.000Well, I don't want it to be that interesting, of course.
00:21:11.000You know, but I mean, look, if we talk all the time about how dire things are, how drastic things are, what kind of times, what kind of interesting times we're living in, then the very least people are gonna have to stand up and say, like, you know what?
00:21:29.000Or what are the different compacts I'm going to make with colleagues, with political powers?
00:21:35.000How are we going to push back on this?
00:21:39.000I think a lot of what we're seeing with the artificial inflation of demand and the suppression of supply feels like the Great Reset.
00:21:46.000You're familiar with the Great Reset and all that?
00:21:49.000It's mass social conditioning where if you abruptly come out like Bloomberg, you know, Michael Bloomberg in New York City wanted to tax sodas or whatever, and he was like, we should tax the poor because they're too stupid.
00:22:01.000If you come out right away and prohibit something, people will revolt.
00:22:14.000You can mass socially engineer people by shutting down the supply for certain things.
00:22:18.000So, you get people, as many people as possible, not to work, you limit the amount of stuff, wait a month, and then people won't be looking for stuff.
00:23:14.000I had last night, I had kind of a reckoning where I was, I saw some image of like, if you don't have, if you're not vaccinated, you don't have a vaccine card, you can't come in like to a restaurant somewhere, some picture on Twitter.
00:23:23.000And I just resigned myself to all the things that I'll never be able to do.
00:24:45.000People in New York are going to be demanding.
00:24:48.000What I'm worried is they'll go to a cafe and they'll open the door and go, excuse me, I could not but notice you don't have any vax testing or Excelsior pass.
00:25:04.000New Yorkers like to pride themselves on being very tough and hardy.
00:25:08.000So what are the chances are people going to say like, well, we're going to open up the, we're going to open up the fireman's bar where people come in here.
00:25:14.000You know, we've got a couple of firemen and firemen and cops who own this bar.
00:25:17.000And believe me, you don't have to wear a mask to get in here.
00:25:20.000Some people don't even wear pants to get in here.
00:25:24.000I guess it just depends on, you know, you look at the conformity of the modern left, and it's also because, um, it's also people who are more likely to be conservative, or at least they were liberals who became disaffected, they left these places.
00:25:40.000And so the people who remain are the culty, fallen line, you know, do whatever they're told.
00:25:45.000A lot of them, though, they've moved out to places like Connecticut, or they've moved out to Long Island, or they're just hiding in their apartments.
00:27:17.000And he goes from Chancellor Sutler's, you know, private train carriage or whatever.
00:27:20.000Yeah, the elites, they're going to have the sweetest, juiciest, grass-fed filet mignon, and you're going to be eating cell-grown, fatless ground chuck.
00:27:32.000Is it in Soylent Green, or is it in one of the Planet of the Apes movies, where Charlton Heston comes upon a beautiful strawberry?
00:27:40.000And then it's just a single strawberry.
00:28:50.000Starbucks' shortage of plastic goods, cups, lids.
00:28:53.000They're saying people are coming into Starbucks, they can't get their favorite drinks, there's no mocha.
00:28:56.000Someone sent me a photo from a Starbucks in the DC area, and it's just like, there's like a list on the door saying like, we're out of these things, and it's just like, nothing.
00:30:11.000Whether whether it's intentional or not, it's very much a massive societal transformation.
00:30:17.000You know, so it could just be, oh, you know, geez, you know, this pandemic happened, and then all of a sudden, this, you know, these big shifts cause massive societal change.
00:30:26.000It's interesting when you read about the Great Reset, they talk about the conspiracy theory of it, and I can't figure out what they're accusing of being a conspiracy theory.
00:30:32.000So if you look up the Wikipedia page for the Great Reset, it's like, the Great Reset is a proposal from the World Economic Forum and international, you know, interests that are advocating for a reset of global capitalism, to change the behaviors of people, and yadda yadda, instill a more stakeholder-focused view of the world, and, you know, save the planet, there's a big list of things they want.
00:30:49.000And then it says, a section says, conspiracy theory.
00:30:52.000But it doesn't actually say what's a conspiracy about it.
00:30:55.000It's like, many people on the far right claim there's a conspiracy theory.
00:30:59.000And I'm like, okay, if you just told me There's literally wealthy elites, the Davos group, advocating for these things that are literally happening.
00:31:07.000I'm not sure what you're accusing of being the conspiracy theory in this.
00:31:20.000I think we're learning now with Lab League stuff, it seems like a big screw-up on their part, on the part of the Wuhan lab and Fauci's funding and all that stuff.
00:31:27.000But they're certainly exploiting the crisis for some kind of great reset.
00:31:33.000Having some experiences being called a conspiracy theorist, having reported on the having reported on Russiagate and having reported what really happened that the FBI The FBI spied on, you know, spied on Donald Trump that this is what was going on.
00:31:48.000Donald Trump is not a Russian agent, is not a Russian spy.
00:31:52.000Yeah, basically whatever they're using, whenever they're using the label conspiracy theorist, they're using it to smear someone.
00:31:59.000I want to make a correction about the pennies and nickels.
00:32:02.000Pennies are made of zinc, coated with copper.
00:32:04.000Nickels are made of a 75% copper, 25% nickel alloy.
00:32:05.000is a lunatic. It needs to be dismissed.
00:32:08.000I want to make a correction about the pennies and nickels.
00:32:10.000Pennies are made of zinc coated with copper.
00:32:12.000Nickels are made of a 75% copper, 25% nickel alloy.
00:32:37.000I think I was reading somewhere a few years ago, it was like a nickel's copper- a nickel, which is the coin, has a certain amount of copper, which is worth like 7.5 cents.
00:32:46.000Or like 7 cents, but the nickel itself is only worth 5, so... It's illegal to do this, my understanding.
00:35:24.000So if we're talking about different combinations, in a sense the Chinese Communist Party is the platform for the global realignment.
00:35:35.000If you're talking about the Great Reset, the Chinese, that's why it was very important to get the Chinese into the World Trade Organization in 2001.
00:35:43.000That's why it was very important for the Clinton administration in 1994 to de-link human rights from trade.
00:35:50.000And I want to make clear, while I think that the way the Chinese government, the Chinese Communist Party, treats its own citizens is something that we should be paying attention to, our main focus as Americans and our leaders should be on American human rights and how Americans are treated.
00:36:05.000My point, however, is when you saw, and this was bipartisan, it wasn't just Bill Clinton.
00:36:10.000Remember, this started with Henry Kissinger, right?
00:36:13.000It started with Kissinger reaching out to China, the opening there.
00:36:18.000So yes, I think we've seen steady progress starting, certainly exaggerated, in 1994.
00:36:25.000I think that our elites, basically American elites specifically, gave up on American democracy.
00:37:35.000The language, one of the most important things I think that's happened as part of the political and part of the spiritual and part of the intellectual moves against us, The way that the language has changed, right?
00:37:48.000I know that this is something that you guys are interested in, which is fascinating to me.
00:37:52.000The idea of left and right, liberal and conservative, how these things have flipped around.
00:37:56.000Well, I'm sorry, how is it a liberal or a left-wing value to start siding with what the FBI is doing to American citizens?
00:38:09.000Since when is it a liberal value to think That immigration, mass illegal immigration that is designed to hurt American working people, including Latinos, right?
00:38:31.000It's one of the greatest de-radicalizations in the history of this country.
00:38:34.000I mean, I know tons of hackers, former anonymous individuals, you know, the Anonymous Hacking Group and Antifa, who are posting on Facebook celebrating the FBI.
00:38:42.000And I, you know, I commented to them like, just, I'm glad to hear that you guys have finally come to your senses and you respect the federal government and you're in line with law enforcement.
00:39:54.000And what I'm learning now, because I tweeted about this, is that they have sent false credit, to my understanding, false credit report information used to stop me from being able to get a loan in the house.
00:40:05.000It's been, I think, three months of agents being swapped around, demanding the same documents over and over and over again, maybe like six or seven times.
00:40:14.000And then when we do, a new person pops up and says, hey, I'm the agent now, now you gotta send it again.
00:40:18.000It really feels like they're trying to stop us.
00:40:20.000There was a point where I was like, are we just going to cancel this?
00:41:31.000So I want to get into, with that being said, the reason I bring that up is just to express my feeling of unease, weariness, confusion, and it just feels really weird.
00:41:43.000At the same time, I'm having this absurd difficulty getting a house.
00:41:47.000I'm seeing these stories from Vox and from Mediaite and from Business Insider.
00:42:02.000Your costs are cheaper per month than renting.
00:42:04.000Yet they're telling people not to do it.
00:42:06.000So when they say it's a bubble, that means if you buy a 500, the argument is if you buy a $500,000 house now in a year, it's going to be worth $350,000 and you're going to have a loan on it that's cost more than the value.
00:42:19.000But if you buy it at face value, it's going to be worth less, but it doesn't really matter because you already own the property.
00:42:24.000I just really don't think that BlackRock and his other firms putting in 50 percent above market expect to lose that money.
00:42:31.000I think they're going to try and flip it.
00:42:33.000I would imagine they're going to they're going to ride the inflation and then sell it and make money off it or start rent or just rent it out.
00:42:39.000No, they're converting a bunch of these into single-family rentals.
00:42:43.000So we're dangerously close to the point where these large international investment funds own all the property, the property value skyrockets, you can't buy it, and then you become what's called a vassal.
00:42:55.000So when the feudal lord would say, in exchange for this grant of land to you, you provide the landlord with some kind of, you know, service or function.
00:43:04.000But at that point, only the landlord would be the vassal of the lord, you of the king, you would be the serf of the vassal.
00:43:11.000You wouldn't even have vassalage status because you own nothing.
00:43:15.000I think one of the bad things about this is how uh not just that this is bad what they're doing but that i think a lot of people would find this to be ideal right i mean we're looking we're looking at a time um we're looking at a time where a lot of people are acting like monads right they're individual units well we're looking at the we're looking at the breakup of different things if we see what happened
00:43:43.000During covid during the during the riots right communities were attacked, right?
00:43:49.000We're looking right now at attacks on different parts of America different parts of the country desecration of our symbols desecration of our history.
00:43:57.000It's like if people if you're telling people.
00:44:07.000If that's how you're attacking them right there, then aren't people going to say, like, yeah, well, I don't know.
00:44:12.000Why do I want to own a home and help build this community?
00:44:15.000If people are telling me that having a community like this is bad, that it's racist, it's dumb, it's vulgar, it's whatever, why do I want to do this?
00:44:24.000I think there's a real risk, too, if you get a house in the wrong area.
00:44:27.000Someone's going to come and smash it up and then you're screwed.
00:44:30.000Let me show you what Ben Shapiro said.
00:44:32.000So Ben Shapiro engaged in this story from the Wall Street Journal, saying, I see many people are enraged at BlackRock.
00:44:38.000BlackRock is buying homes from people willing to sell them.
00:44:40.000If you don't like what they're doing, target the loose governmental policy incentivizing this sort of investment.
00:44:45.000Seriously, BlackRock isn't going to stop investing in single-family homes because you're mad on Twitter.
00:44:50.000But you could direct your energies towards stopping the Fed's insane monetary policy, which is driving down the cost of loans and creating a massive bubble.
00:44:57.000If BlackRock is willing to take the risk of leveraging up to buy single-family housing at above-market prices, that's their prerogative.
00:45:04.000So long as they own the downside risk, no bailouts ever.
00:45:08.000And if you're mad at BlackRock and want to artificially prevent them from buying single-family homes, I'd like for you to explain to those who currently own the homes why you're taking money out of their pockets.
00:45:18.000So, my first response to Ben's tweet, with respect, would be, I wonder what his opinion is on Chinese nationals buying up homes from people above market.
00:45:28.000What's the difference between international investment firms who are taking away because of their ability to get access to federally printed money from the Fed, Federal Reserve, They're artificially able to out-compete the middle class, taking away the middle class's opportunity for home ownership.
00:45:49.000I mean, if someone comes to me and says, you know, a Chinese national wants to buy my house for above market, I mean, I'm going to say no.
00:45:56.000I'm going to say I don't feel comfortable selling to foreign interests at a time when the middle class and the working class in my own country is hurting.
00:46:03.000If we actually in this nation had scruples, then people who own the homes might be like, I am not going to sell to this massive investment firm.
00:46:10.000In fact, I've talked to people who have told me they were selling and they were saying that they're going to make sure it doesn't go to any one of these big corporations for above market, and they only want to sell to American working families.
00:46:19.000Well, we used to make movies about this, right?
00:46:21.000This is the kind of thing that used to be the heart of American popular culture, right?
00:46:28.000You made movies about what it's like to have a community, what it's like to have a family.
00:46:33.000This is essentially what It's a Wonderful Life is about, right?
00:46:52.000And what's weird is how many, how many people, I'm not going to say on the right, but how many Americans generally, how many American thought leaders, intellectuals have missed what's been going on over the last four years, how some of these arguments have shifted, right?
00:47:20.000I don't like using the heavy hand of the law unless, you know, after great debate, maybe we do.
00:47:25.000But maybe it should be illegal for these firms and investment firms to buy property if there's another human trying to bid, like an American citizen trying to make a bid or a foreign national buying it out.
00:47:40.000We saw in 2008, the government was saying you had to give out loans to these families.
00:47:45.000Families who often couldn't afford to pay back these loans.
00:47:48.000And then when the loans went bad, they tried stuffing them into mortgage-backed securities, trying to find some way to make duds into something valuable, and the whole system just broke apart.
00:47:56.000A lot of the criticism was, well, when the government forces people to lend to people who clearly can't afford houses, the housing market explodes.
00:48:03.000Well, BlackRock can certainly afford to pay for these houses.
00:48:06.000Maybe these people should be renters, I suppose, right?
00:48:08.000I think people should have access to homeownership.
00:48:11.000The difference here is it's the other extreme.
00:48:13.000Coming in and telling a middle-class person who can't afford the house, we're gonna spend an extra 50% on top so you can't buy it, is not the same as mandating someone be given special access to loans they can't afford.
00:48:55.000There was something sinister going on about the process because a lot of people were kind of...
00:49:00.000a lot of people knew it was sort of a racket and a lot of people were making money and doing a lot of bad things that
00:49:07.000hurt not just the economy, but the country and the world.
00:49:10.000So now it sounds like they're using that as an excuse to not loan people money, instead going the safe route by just loaning it to big corporations.
00:49:18.000Well, I suppose authoritarianism is always the safe route, I guess.
00:49:22.000When you have despotic control of a nation and you can oppress and strip away the rights and, you know, resources from the working class, so long as you have a good psychological manipulation apparatus, which I guess we do, sort of, then you got nothing to worry about.
00:49:39.000I mean, this is what the press has been doing for, you know, at least five years now.
00:49:43.000Yeah, it's amazing where it's like, you know, journalism today is like, make the biggest lie.
00:49:50.000I feel like we're about to transition our government into like a more democratically decentralized system, like a legit system.
00:50:05.000I've been studying the Greek, the development of the Greek democracy, 500, 600 BC, and basically the farmers, the Greek farmers, were paying a sixth of their food to their local landlords, and they couldn't afford the debt, so they were putting their own freedom up as collateral.
00:50:19.000It used to be legal, you could say, you can take my family as a slave, or me as a slave, if I can't pay back the debt.
00:50:25.000They couldn't pay back their debts, or they couldn't pay their taxes, basically, so they were conscripted into slavery.
00:50:30.000And what was happening was, Athens realized, if they needed to call up a military, they couldn't, because these people were all unburdened by debt.
00:50:37.000So, they were going to get taken over from the outside because their people were just wrecked.
00:51:23.000But the bigger strategic threat to the United States is our elites who have been selling this country off piece by piece, betraying this country to the Chinese Communist Party for decades now.
00:51:38.000Believe me, I'm not making excuses for what the Chinese Communist Party is doing, how they're trying to hurt America.
00:51:47.000But the biggest problem, again, is I think that Donald Trump had it right when Donald Trump said, I can't really pick on Xi or their leaders.
00:51:54.000They're just doing what they think is right for their country.
00:51:57.000How many of our leaders, national, state, municipal, How many of our leaders have our interest at stake?
00:52:07.000If you look at places like, we come back to New York again, is that really the way that Andrew Cuomo is governing the state of New York, the way that Bill de Blasio is running New York City?
00:52:19.000Is that in the interest of New Yorkers?
00:52:24.000When they put all those homeless people, and many of them are like convicted criminals, next to the wealthy apartments, and then people are getting attacked.
00:52:31.000They emptied out the Upper West Side, right?
00:52:34.000I mean, the amount of people who were moving out of there.
00:52:37.000And these people, in lots of ways, they were the vitality, the wit, and the imagination of New York.
00:53:33.000The number of jobs, the number of jobs that that costs and will cost, and you just look at a number of different policies, both foreign and domestic, was it really that important?
00:53:42.000Do we need to be underwriting Hamas's war in the Middle East by sending $5.5 million for reconstruction in Gaza?
00:53:58.000We're a representative constitutional republic.
00:54:01.000And so in this regard, there is a challenge in that the politicians lie.
00:54:07.000I mean, in this regard, it's also, this is what you get when you elect someone not because of their policies, but because you don't like the other guy.
00:56:57.000Who will say anything and everything for the corrupt elites who are extracting the resources from this country, but when all is said and done and the country falls apart, like, they're the first in line for whatever bad is going to be coming.
00:57:12.000They provide little, if anything, in terms of value to society.
00:57:15.000I mean, these are people who live in New York City.
00:57:18.000Who live in giant concrete cubicles, who espouse propaganda for the state.
00:57:23.000When the state has lost confidence in the people because the elites have extracted too much, and now the system topples, where do they go?
00:57:29.000They have... What reasonable skills do they have?
00:57:31.000Hey, Dylan Radigan went and started doing hydroponics.
00:57:40.000I mean, if you look, if you look at the history of these different, if we think that this country is heading toward a very dangerous, very dark place, it may be, it may not be.
00:57:52.000But regardless, if you look at the history of things that go bad, if you look at the history of authoritarian states, how these things begin, the bad things that happen, Right.
00:58:03.000It's a mistake for the ideological class, for the ideologues.
00:58:09.000They're always caught in the middle of it.
00:58:28.000Call it a civil war, call it whatever you want.
00:58:30.000You know, we mentioned this quite a bit in the context of it, but There's a dividing line forming between these states, which you mentioned with the vaccine segregation and the passports, which lends itself to the idea that if Joe Biden and the Democrats keep extracting and destroying this country, at what point will the Republicans cut things off and how will they do it?
00:58:51.000Maybe Texas announces a Texas coin, a cryptocurrency for the people of Texas, a local currency to protect the value.
00:58:57.000You know, look, Florida would probably do it first, to be honest, because you've got DeSantis.
00:59:01.000He'd probably launch, and they just had the Bitcoin conference in Miami.
00:59:04.000Think about this, Florida could launch, as a governmental entity, a DeFi coin, Florida coin, that is legal tender in the state of Florida.
00:59:18.000The issue is, so long as the Fed can print money and Biden can hand it for free to Cuomo, to Newsom, to Whitmer, they, when they spend money and destroy things, they are extracting the wealth from the people of Texas and Florida.
01:00:01.000Uh, and so, but what happened was, then the poor people came up and they want, they started to demand the rich people's property.
01:00:07.000And the guy that had been put in charge, this guy named Solon, was this brilliant, you know, merchant, uh, guy.
01:00:12.000He wasn't a landowner, but he was just this really, really smart guy.
01:00:15.000Said, no, we're not going to strip the wealth from the rich.
01:00:17.000So it's going to happen again, probably.
01:00:19.000It's likely that people are going to start demanding that we strip the wealth.
01:00:22.000What we see now it's different is the mass printing of money.
01:00:25.000They didn't have that in ancient Greece.
01:00:27.000They didn't have this money printer, this Federal Reserve system, this fiat.
01:00:32.000So I don't know how other than establishing a new currency and issuing a debt recall and voiding like the value of the dollar over like the two year period.
01:01:23.000It's really high, depending on who you ask.
01:01:26.000That means for someone in Texas who wants to buy a computer, your ability to buy these goods has been taken from you by the corruption of Andrew Cuomo.
01:03:34.000And it's... I don't know the regulations or the laws on this, but it would be really amazing if Texas just said, hey, we're making Texas coin.
01:03:55.000Is it just a one-for-one to the dollar?
01:03:57.000I mean, I guess another thing that would be interesting is if you look at, you know, people... I don't know if it's still there after COVID, but people have spoken about California has the world's third largest economy.
01:04:10.000It seems that Florida is particularly...
01:04:12.000California's economy is enormous because of its trade with Asia, especially with China, right?
01:04:17.000But if you look at the other, if you look at Texas and Florida, these states are also well disposed to trade as well.
01:04:25.000So what are the different ways for, what are the different ways for red states to build their To build their economic strength.
01:04:36.000Again, I'm willing to bet the feds would storm in in two seconds with guns if any state tried to do this, but imagine if Texas said, okay, here's what we're doing.
01:04:44.000As the government, we're going to be issuing a cryptocurrency called TexasCoin, where we'll print 21 million over the span of 100 years, and it's mined or whatever.
01:04:55.000However, if you are a resident of the state of Texas, Or a registered business, and you're a representative of that business, you can exchange your Texas coin for U.S.
01:06:14.000Then the residents would be like, oh, we want to accept this because we can use it amongst ourselves, retains its value, becomes more valuable.
01:06:21.000So if someone pays me one Florida coin and I put in the bank in a month, it's basically basically worth two Florida coin.
01:06:36.000A month later, $2 is one Florida coin because of, it wouldn't be that dramatic, but inflation 5%.
01:06:41.000You could always just exchange it back for US dollars.
01:06:44.000It would be like literally any other cryptocurrency.
01:06:46.000The difference is the state government of Florida or Texas or whatever state, or maybe New York would do it, are putting regulation on it statewide, which provides incentive for people in that state to use it and doesn't allow exchange for dollars outside of the state.
01:07:01.000Now, however, people could still trade off-market, right?
01:07:04.000Someone would be like, hey, I'll give you Texas coin for dollars or whatever.
01:09:06.000Look, it hit $65k, and then it dropped to $30k or whatever, and it was mostly poor people who panicked and sold off, and all the rich people were laughing the whole time.
01:09:16.000Because the rich people aren't worried about short-term losses like this.
01:09:20.000It's like, dude, if I buy one Bitcoin, one Bitcoin equals one Bitcoin.
01:09:23.000But if you're poor and you put in your only $200 hoping to turn it into $400 and then the market tanks, you panic and pull it out.
01:09:31.000You know, for me, I'll buy when I can and I forget about it.
01:09:35.000Some Ron Paul was talking about a lot was getting rid of this law that says that the US government or Congress has the monopoly on on a currency control of currency creation, basically, which they've already offloaded to the Federal Reserve anyway.
01:09:48.000So they're basically they've they've given up their their responsibility to some private quasi private public company.
01:09:56.000Dave Smith was talking about it when he was on the show.
01:09:58.000But Ron Paul has been... We need to repeal or remove that restriction so that we can all legally create our own and create a market of currency market.
01:10:34.000But the best thing is, they had leftover, oddly-shaped lumber here and there, and boards, because they cut things, and they say, here's the waste.
01:10:40.000And the guy, I remember when they were building, they were like, so we'll have this all hauled away.
01:10:43.000And I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:10:44.000At the time, I was like, just throw it in the shed, because we like building stuff.
01:10:58.000At the time, it was probably a total of, like, a thousand dollars worth of materials a year ago, and it's probably worth, like, seven or eight thousand now.
01:11:06.000Some ridiculous amount of money for all these materials.
01:11:08.000Plus, there's just like steel bars and pipes and stuff that you use for skating on.
01:13:09.000I know how much more it is now than it was a year ago.
01:13:14.000Well, let's talk about some of this environmental disaster stuff we got going on.
01:13:18.000So, you know, obviously we've been talking about what you can invest in, the cost of lumber, the cost of food, the inflation.
01:13:25.000Right now in California, they're dealing with a mega drought.
01:13:29.000The Verge reports the Hoover Dam reservoir is at an all-time low, and apparently they're putting, in California, they're under some kind of rationing for water.
01:13:43.000I'm going to be careful with how I put this so I don't present myself as a water expert.
01:13:49.000But my reporting on Congressman Devin Nunes, he's in Central California and, you know, he represents a big ag district, 22nd District in uh... in california and he was originally elected to fight the water wars and so i know a little bit about the central uh... the central valley water issues and one of the cases these guys make and it's pretty convincing to me is there's an awful lot of water coming off the sierra nevada uh... and this is what makes the central valley so fertile so rich with what they call the uh... brad basket of the solar system
01:14:28.000Some of this, the water wars, what the water wars are about, it's about environmentalists or people who describe themselves as environmentalists in the Bay Area, to a lesser extent Los Angeles.
01:14:41.000And a lot of this, in effect, what they're doing, again, I'm not, I don't know what's happening at the Hoover Dam.
01:14:48.000I just want to give a little background on what I know about the water wars out in California.
01:14:52.000They say there's an awful lot of water in California.
01:14:56.000What they're trying to do is they're trying to break... They're trying to break their political opponents.
01:15:02.000The game is, with the left, what they're trying to do is they're trying to hurt their economic base, strip them of their economic base in the Central Valley, the agricultural base, and also push them into the cities where they can control them.
01:15:21.000Yeah, they run a lot of the water off into the bay and it's an argument about the smelts and what people say about the smelts is like this, you know, nothing against the smelts.
01:16:00.000This is a... In my research, when I covered the last drought in the past six or so years, I would say that you're about half... What you're saying is about half of... What's the right way to put this?
01:16:13.000In my research, it half agrees with what you're saying.
01:16:17.000In places like Tulare County, they're barred from using surface water for growing crops because it's diverted to the cities.
01:17:39.000And we talked to many people about the smelts and what the farmers wanted to do was they said, we got a lot of this water up north that goes into the bay and does nothing.
01:17:51.000It reaches the San Francisco, around that area, where it hits the ocean and it basically makes all that fresh water useless.
01:17:58.000We should divert that fresh water, have it go around the bay and go to the farms.
01:18:04.000Now, the political argument was the smelt.
01:18:06.000Oh, but you're going to kill all these fish if you do that.
01:18:09.000I think the more sound argument was, I actually went to a bunch of cities in the Bay Area, smaller cities, not San Francisco, not Oakland, and I went to a bunch of farms.
01:18:19.000One of the farms I went to was, I believe it was an apple farm, I could be wrong, it did some kind of fruit.
01:18:23.000And they said, the water that we get for this farm is, it's bay area water.
01:18:29.000So we're, we got all these, you know, tributaries, streams, and whatever.
01:18:34.000If you divert that water, it will reduce pressure, causing ocean water to come in, killing all of the fresh water in the bay, and wiping out all the small towns that rely on that water.
01:18:46.000So it may be that you could, you know, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
01:18:50.000But they were like, what about our family farm that's been here for generations, for hundreds of years, that would be destroyed by salt water coming in and wiping out our farms?
01:18:58.000One of the solutions for the water problem was desalination.
01:19:02.000But what that does is it creates brine runoff that goes down to the bottom of the ocean bed, killing off the lowest level of life, causing a dead zone from the ground up when you wipe out the food chain.
01:19:11.000Yeah, you need to find a way to reuse that salt if you're going to you're gonna do that for sure.
01:19:14.000Yeah, but they just dump it back into the ocean.
01:19:16.000And it's brine, it sinks, and then kills all the flora and fauna on the ocean floor,
01:20:56.000We'll have an argument about it, but you need to look at the pots that are boiling, because you're in California, and people are like, it's not so bad here.
01:21:03.000And I'm like, how many times have you seen a homeless person take a dump in the street?
01:21:10.000When I lived there, it was like once or twice a month.
01:21:14.000San Francisco's got a poop patrol now.
01:21:16.000The last time I went to LA, Parked my car and I was going to a mall and some woman, some old fat woman walked in the middle of the street and just squatted and went at it.
01:21:25.000And I'm like, what the is happening to this place?
01:22:11.000It's a it's a great they're great cities in a great state in a great country that is drastically behind schedule on developing desalination tactics.
01:23:05.000I think I think California is going to get really bad.
01:23:07.000Maybe what they're trying to do with this great reset stuff with like New York is get rid of as many people as possible so the cities can survive.
01:23:13.000I hear people also saying that they want to build these again, speculation from interested friends.
01:23:19.000They say, yeah, they want to build these kind of fancy, big Asian style cities, these kind of showcase cities where you don't really have many people living in them.
01:23:29.000Yeah, I couldn't find subsidence, but maybe it's called subsidence.
01:23:35.000So what the groundwater is like, is a buffer for other to keep other things from well, when you will land up and keep up saltwater out when they pull the water out of the ground doesn't matter where you are, like the ground like the ground goes down.
01:23:48.000You know, with fracking, a lot of the fracking stuff is causing earthquakes across the country.
01:23:53.000And I think it's because they're removing liquid from, similar to this maybe, and it's causing the ground to like fall and shake.
01:23:59.000So I was thinking we could pump water back into the earth to like make up for the oil that we take out and to re-subsidize or whatever you would call.
01:25:02.000Yeah, and California is being propped up by farmers who are producing for their GDP, and if they leave, then the state is... they're in trouble.
01:25:33.000I mean, if you have the ability to not leave these places that are increasingly dangerous and increasingly spiritually bleak, yeah, you have to go.
01:27:40.000I'm not talking about resetting, I'm talking about Americans having individual choice and making a decision.
01:27:46.000I think people need to get out of cities.
01:27:48.000They should roll up their sleeves, learn how to chop some wood, learn how to grow their own food, take care of some chickens, get some fresh eggs.
01:27:56.000You walk out in the yard in the morning, you eat a couple fresh eggs, you make them, you're right there on the spot, and it's like, thank you chickens, it's delicious.
01:28:21.000They live in these hyper-concentrated, break Particle dust in the air with gas and all the exhaust.
01:28:28.000They're breathing in trash They're living in cities that smell like sour milks sour milk and cubicles crown on top of each other They're the ones consuming the most energy for this this gluttonous lifestyle on average and then the people in the countryside who are voting Republican live, you know Sparsely populated areas where they're on like natural, you know, like they have their own oil tank to manage their own heat They have you know satellite internet Much more lower cost.
01:29:40.000So when you talk about the difference between the people who are the elites who are in cities and the people who are on farms, that's the point to say we're better than you.
01:30:22.000We're going to come to a head where people are going to want, you look at the French revolution, people are going to want to hurt other people because of greed or because of jealousy, but we don't, you know, we stay peaceful.
01:30:45.000We actually got someone brought out a Starlink for us, but their cell locked, so it didn't work.
01:30:49.000We need an actual regional unit, so we weren't able to do it, but it would be really awesome to have.
01:30:53.000I guess we'll just have to wait until we get it.
01:30:55.000Uh, so, so, that's cool, like, work on cool stuff.
01:30:58.000I'll tell you who, you know, when I think about the phrase, eat the rich, I don't really know what they mean by that, like, consume the resources from them.
01:31:24.000I'm saying like if if if if, you know, I look at Wall Street and I look at Hollywood and those are two things where I'm like, for the most part, I'm on it.
01:31:32.000The hedge funds that are shorting companies into oblivion?
01:32:25.000We used to go to movie theaters, go to dinner beforehand, get a drink after, sit with your beloved, go with a group of friends, children's birthday party, and now it's heartbreaking.
01:32:37.000Now when they turn the lights back on in Hollywood, you've got one of these, you've got some lunatic screaming at you for being, uh, for being... White.
01:33:06.000You know, now that I think about it, I'm like, is there a certain sector of ultra-wealthy individuals that we're actually eager to defend anyway?
01:33:13.000Like, I can defend Elon on some things.
01:34:35.000All right, if we agree that there are a lot of really awful, really wealthy people that are screwing everything up, Zuckerberg dumping money in these elections, Bezos, you know, he's doing the same thing with Amazon, wokeness, you know, pushing these ideologies, then you've got, you know, big tech.
01:35:03.000Maybe there's like a little portion on the left when they say eat the rich, and then the right when they say small government, and that's what you gotta combine.
01:35:16.000The tech sector's decentralizing, like I was working with the Fediverse team, we're building out the Fediverse, which is this like federated system of free software technology where like all these different websites can intercommunicate and It's a it's a big deal.
01:36:19.000I guess, you know, one of the big problems, there's just these stubborn people that stand in the way of solving these problems.
01:36:25.000Maybe what we need is for like an entity of the people to rise up and seize power, maybe with weapons, and then instill their political ideology by force.
01:36:48.000I can't tell you how excited I am for this website and this newsroom just because there's so much more that has to be done off of YouTube, right?
01:36:55.000I've been working over the past probably seven or eight months to probably longer than this, but with a heavier focus in the past, you know, year.
01:37:03.000To focus away from YouTube as the sole place for a business because you don't want to put all your eggs in one basket.
01:37:09.000And so that means we've been pushing the website.
01:37:11.000We're going to be doing amazing things with it and we're going to have a bunch of different verticals.
01:37:17.000I'm so excited because it also means that I get to...
01:37:21.000It'll probably mean, eventually, less content from me in terms of my other two channels as I start focusing on the administrative of the core business, hiring more people to do the work that I do, but probably this show will always remain Tim Guest IRL.
01:37:32.000But I'm just, I'm really excited to expand.
01:37:35.000I can't wait till we have, you know, ten reporters, you know, ten different video producers, we're doing skits, we're doing comedy, we got sitcoms, we got movies, and we're heading in that direction, and it's thanks to you guys who are becoming members at TimGuest.com.
01:38:19.000I'm fairly picky on a lot of the sponsors.
01:38:21.000We do, so like, I'm actually one of the worst people to work with because, I kid you not, I get a bunch, I don't want to, I'm not going to name any companies because I don't want to disrespect them, but I get like, you know, three or four emails and they're like, how about this?
01:38:33.000And I'm like, I have a bunch of restrictions on what I'm willing to say.
01:38:36.000It has to be like totally honest and legit.
01:40:48.000And I'm just like, here's the only thing you need to understand.
01:40:51.000Goldman Sachs said it was a new asset class.
01:40:53.000JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, whatever, a bunch of these firms, I think those are the correct ones, I could be wrong, have been now advising their clients to purchase this for investment.
01:41:02.000I'm pretty sure the ultra-wealthy elites aren't planning on losing money on this one.
01:41:06.000And China put a bunch of money in it too.
01:41:08.000And they keep manipulating the market, probably to buy more.
01:41:11.000Dan N says, gold and silver is the only way to get through this simple as that.
01:42:04.000So, you know Tony Shalhoub's character?
01:42:06.000For those that aren't familiar, they go on this actual... They're basically a parody of Star Trek, and they're actors, has-beens, and then real aliens come, and they get to go on the actual spaceship, and everyone's kind of like freaked out and stressed.
01:43:56.000The idea that these guys were behind it and now they're going to go and they're going to challenge and threaten Putin after what these guys did.
01:45:14.000If, you know, one of the biggest problems with infections before we had antiseptics was, like, you'd lose an arm, you'd die, you'd get sepsis.
01:45:23.000Now you get a cut, you walk through the woods, you splash some, you know, rinse it off, you put some antiseptic on it, and then you're good.
01:45:29.000So it's a really important thing to have.
01:45:31.000I bought a bunch of Manuka honey, which is apparently the most medicinal honey on the planet.
01:45:37.000It has this stuff, MGO, I don't know what it stands for off the top of my head, but I got like the highest rated, most medicinal Manuka in the world you can order.
01:45:44.000And it was like hundreds of dollars to buy.
01:46:35.000ZeroRedFox says, Brett Weinstein just posted a discussion with a top virologist and engineer called How to Save the World in Three Easy Steps.
01:47:22.000If you want to stay in New York, there you go.
01:47:25.000B. Anderson says, possible drought solution.
01:47:27.000It's going to be a big project, but if we can dig a huge canal through the desert areas of southwest United States, natural salt filtration, saltwater brackish fresh.
01:48:09.000Because remember, New York is not... New York, it's partly a blue city.
01:48:14.000There are other parts that are not, right?
01:48:17.000Staten Island, a lot of Queens still, parts of Brooklyn still.
01:48:20.000That's exactly what I'm talking about.
01:48:22.000That leads to the physical separation and divide, which ultimately leads to war.
01:48:27.000I'd rather have compacts, as you were speaking about before, business compacts.
01:48:33.000I think that the hyperpolarization, the fact that it's the matrix.
01:48:40.000The leftists, the Democrats, they live in a paranoid, psychotic, delusional reality.
01:48:46.000They think that the conservatives, they think shows like this are all QAnon.
01:48:51.000Because they live in a paranoid, delusional state.
01:48:54.000Now, a lot of the Q people believe absolutely insane things for insane reasons, but most non-woke, anti-woke, anti-establishment, disaffected liberals, moderates, intellectual dark web, conservative, etc.
01:49:04.000Regular people with difference of opinions that are paying attention to the news and actually watch the videos.
01:49:09.000But you have this very dominant establishment faction that literally believes Trump's a Russian spy.
01:49:14.000My favorite was when Chris Hayes had that guy on who said that Trump may have been a Soviet spy since the 80s.
01:50:38.000And they can buy it marked up and just put their money somewhere.
01:50:42.000It also, uh, I think I could be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure if you aren't an American citizen, you can still start an American corporation.
01:50:50.000So long as you have the money, and then you can use that corporation to sponsor yourself, and hire yourself, and so it's like a way people come in.
01:50:56.000This real estate story that you're talking about, and I'm not just talking about the thread, I'm talking about generally, this is really important, and really big for a number of different reasons.
01:51:05.000I think this is something that people will be, I know you guys will be, but something that people are going to be talking about a lot because it's a big deal.
01:52:11.000Get invited to a nice Upper West Side party in Manhattan, this really nice luxury penthouse.
01:52:16.000The cops show up and arrest the guy who lives there because he's got drugs.
01:52:20.000And then everyone's shrugging, and some guy just starts grabbing the silverware.
01:52:23.000It's like fine silver, and putting it in their pocket, and you're like, eh, screw it.
01:52:26.000You pull a painting off the wall and you walk out.
01:52:29.000You know, hey, party's over, might as well take some stuff with us.
01:52:32.000It sounds like a scene from a dark mirror version of Trading Places, when Eddie Murphy is living in the... Maybe if I do run for office, it'll be under that completely honest stance.
01:52:45.000It's like, I have no policy positions, but if you vote for me, I can assure you, I will do everything in my power to extract as much value from the working class for myself, and then just sit back and watch the rest of it burn to the ground.
01:54:12.000It seems like a bad investment for an American to buy property in Kiev because the amount of rent you'd get from it is not gonna be that much.
01:54:18.000But for the oligarchs, they own it all.
01:54:33.000You know what I was thinking of doing?
01:54:34.000I want to hire somebody who is just like a gym rat, who likes eating healthy, and then have them just be in the house.
01:54:41.000And I was like, we should get a board.
01:54:42.000With like all of the people who work here.
01:54:45.000And you have to do a certain amount of exercise.
01:54:48.000And if you do the right amount of exercise, like 30 minutes a day of simple stuff, plus you eat the meal that the health fitness guru says you should eat, you get a golden star.
01:54:58.000But if you get five golden stars in a week, you get a bonus.
01:56:03.000No gold star for me, but what I noticed is it's different than just not eating vegetables.
01:56:07.000If you just don't eat vegetables, that's one thing, but if you eat other crappy, like bread instead, it's way harder to get back.
01:56:15.000I was feeling hungry because I didn't have nutrients, but I was full.
01:56:18.000So it's not that you don't have nutrients, it's that you're taking in a bunch of carbs, they fill up your belly, but they hit your bloodstream really fast, the sugar goes really fast, and suddenly you're hungry again.
01:56:28.000So you end up consuming more calories than you would otherwise.
01:56:31.000This is great, can I just, I gotta read this.
01:56:32.000Slensder says, Blackrock isn't just accessing printer-go-burr money.
01:56:36.000The loans they take out are guaranteed by the Fed, so if the house values fall, taxpayers pick up the bill directly.
01:56:42.000And if they rise, taxpayers pay with inflation.
01:56:45.000So you will not own the house, but you'll pay for it anyway.
01:57:53.000Yeah, if I could read every single super chit.
01:57:55.000We used to early on, and then the show got bigger, and then it was like, there's just way too many.
01:58:00.000And I'd read them really fast, and then I realized we're not really getting the super chits if we just speed read them.
01:58:04.000So we gotta like, you know, try and talk about them.
01:58:08.000Caliburt Neutral says, please do an imitation of Brian Stelter having an argument with his wife over if he should report lies, like the neutered monk on Game of Thrones.
01:58:16.000I don't think I can do an impersonation of Brian Stelter because I don't watch him.
01:58:19.000You know, so it's like, I can watch someone talk and then kind of imitate what they do and then try from there to create the character, but... I have to watch, I would have to watch some of his, uh, some of his stuff, and I don't... I mean, I've watched some of it, but not enough.
01:58:32.000Rat number two says, Dad, this money isn't real.
01:58:34.000It was printed by the Montana militia.
01:58:36.000It'll be real soon enough, was a joke.
01:58:38.000Now it's becoming reality with crypto and state currency.
01:58:41.000Yeah, I mean, why don't we have state currencies?
01:58:56.000I think it was like 10 years ago, and it started to fall out of use.
01:58:59.000So I went there a few years ago, and they said they have them, but no one really cares anymore.
01:59:04.000The thing about a local currency is that it can't leave your jurisdiction, so... What we saw with, like, Detroit, you had these auto manufacturers.
01:59:25.000If you had a local currency, you could keep trading.
01:59:28.000So I watched this documentary about it and they said once the Ithaca Hour came into existence, all of a sudden everyone's homes became amazing.
01:59:34.000Because local labor, the currency was always there for the things people could do locally.
02:00:21.000Michael Wilson says, I got accepted to MSU for film studies today.
02:00:24.000I'd love to take an internship writing short narratives or cast Castle.
02:00:28.000Um, sure, but I'd be willing to bet film studies becomes gender studies very quickly and they're going to be like, the first lesson is the wokeness of how film was made or like the whiteness or whatever.
02:00:38.000But feel free to send a message to jobs at TimCast.com where we go through and we're looking at people.
02:02:03.000I don't know, there's a chip shortage and the apocalypse and all that, so... Yeah, I wish it were so easy, but we are planning this.
02:02:09.000We started uploading to Rumble, and we are planning on doing multi-platform streams and all that stuff, but ultimately we'll see how it plays out.
02:05:25.000It's been a while since I've gone over the Glass-Steagall stuff.
02:05:28.000But basically my understanding was, individuals who put their money in the banks, the banks couldn't use that for giving out loans.
02:05:34.000It's it's crazy how as a libertarian, I because I think myself pretty, pretty aligned with libertarian, but when I find myself being like, we need to make this illegal, we need to use the government to do like, there's just no ideal.
02:07:14.000You can follow the show on Facebook and Instagram at TimCastIRL, and share our videos there to help us grow as well, because we're trying to leverage all of this to get people to go to TimCast.com.
02:07:22.000And I'm hoping that we can have a big network.
02:07:24.000Hopefully within a year, we've got a massive functioning newsroom.
02:07:28.000You know, I always see these leftists, and they're like, here are the top ten performing links on Facebook, and it's like, you know, Ben Shapiro, Ben Shapiro, Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro, Dan Bongino, Dan Bongino, Fox News, Daily Wire, and I'm like, we gotta get a TimCast in there.
