Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Biden is DESTROYING The Economy, Jobs Report Is A Disaster w-Dave Smith

00:00:00.000 It's Friday!

00:00:16.000 It's the end of the week.

00:00:17.000 You know what that means?

00:00:18.000 It means all of the worst possible stories for corporations and the government come out today.

00:00:23.000 It's fantastic.

00:00:24.000 We have some of the most important news to bring you.

00:00:27.000 But everybody's out partying, and that's kind of the point, because the jobs report got released.

00:00:32.000 It is the worst miss in 23 years.

00:00:34.000 Unemployment went up.

00:00:36.000 And now all of a sudden, the Biden administration, Joe Biden himself, he's like, well, you know, look, we're dealing with the pandemic and, you know, it's nothing to do with unemployment payments.

00:00:44.000 And CNN writes an article saying the country is still reeling from the pandemic.

00:00:49.000 Last month, when the job report was good, when jobs were, you know, unemployment was going down, Biden's celebrating saying, see, look what our administration is doing.

00:00:56.000 Now that it's getting really bad, they're acting like it's not their fault.

00:00:58.000 Surprise, surprise.

00:01:00.000 Here's where it gets really screwed up.

00:01:02.000 One of the reasons the jobs report is so bad is that unemployment right now is paying an average of $16 an hour.

00:01:08.000 So nobody wants to go work and the people who do can't because many of them who do have kids and they can't send their kids anywhere.

00:01:16.000 They've got schools.

00:01:17.000 Great, that's just gonna make the economy worse off. 0.97

00:01:23.000 I think it's pretty obvious what they're doing.

00:01:26.000 So yeah, in other news, federal charges were just laid out on the Minnesota police officers, Chauvin and the three other cops.

00:01:33.000 So they're getting charged again at the federal level.

00:01:36.000 And forgive me for being a bit pessimistic, but man, I hope y'all have Gotten ready for whatever might be coming.

00:01:43.000 Maybe that just means chilling, putting some Bitcoin aside or something.

00:01:47.000 No advice from me, but I certainly am.

00:01:47.000 I don't know.

00:01:49.000 Well, we'll talk about all this.

00:01:50.000 Joining us today is the man who almost took down Joe Rogan.

00:01:54.000 You were so close, Dave.

00:01:56.000 Comedian Dave Smith.

00:01:57.000 What's going on, Tim?

00:01:58.000 Thanks for having me back.

00:01:59.000 And I almost got Joe, but I will get you tonight.

00:02:02.000 All right.

00:02:03.000 Oh boy.

00:02:03.000 Excellent.

00:02:04.000 For those that don't understand the reference, you were on with Joe when the media did that huge thing about his vaccine comments.

00:02:12.000 Yeah, but it wasn't really me.

00:02:14.000 I got him going about other things.

00:02:15.000 If you had asked me after that podcast what was going to get you in trouble, I would have named 20 things before the clip that they picked.

00:02:22.000 But, you know, they went with what they went with.

00:02:24.000 Media matters is watching.

00:02:26.000 They always are.

00:02:26.000 Like Santa Claus.

00:02:27.000 They know when you're sleeping.

00:02:28.000 They know what you're saying.

00:02:29.000 We got Bill Ottman.

00:02:30.000 He's still hanging out here.

00:02:31.000 Hey, here we are.

00:02:32.000 CEO of Minds.

00:02:32.000 Thanks for having me back.

00:02:33.000 You want to do a quick intro?

00:02:34.000 Yeah.

00:02:34.000 What's up, guys?

00:02:35.000 Bill, CEO of Mines, along with Ian, former co-founder, now hanging out in the Cast Castle.

00:02:40.000 How is he a former co-founder?

00:02:43.000 Spank me while I'm down, Bill. 1.00

00:02:45.000 He went back in time and told himself not to do it.

00:02:49.000 You saw Looper?

00:02:51.000 Looper, yeah.

00:02:52.000 That was a very high mic drop sound that that kid made.

00:02:55.000 Oh, no.

00:02:56.000 You know the movie Looper?

00:02:56.000 Really?

00:02:57.000 You ever see that?

00:02:58.000 Yeah.

00:02:58.000 I never saw it, but I'm familiar.

00:03:00.000 It's worth seeing.

00:03:02.000 The guy's like a super villain, went back in time. 0.96

00:03:04.000 Bunch of that nonsense. 0.95

00:03:04.000 Bruce Willis. 0.95

00:03:05.000 Super villain?

00:03:06.000 Oh, that's for that kid.

00:03:07.000 Yeah.

00:03:08.000 It's the story of Donald Trump.

00:03:08.000 Okay.

00:03:10.000 Basically.

00:03:10.000 I know.

00:03:11.000 Ian is here.

00:03:12.000 Yes.

00:03:12.000 Oh, well, thank you, Tim.

00:03:13.000 Yes.

00:03:13.000 What's up, everybody?

00:03:13.000 Ian Crossland.

00:03:14.000 Glad to be here.

00:03:15.000 Yeah, and I am also here. 0.94

00:03:17.000 Wish me luck pushing buttons for all these mad men tonight.

00:03:20.000 Ladies and gentlemen, before we get started, I have a huge announcement.

00:03:23.000 First, you must go to TimCast.com and become a member to get access to our exclusive members-only library of content.

00:03:31.000 We got so many podcast episodes.

00:03:32.000 We got like full hours with some of your favorite people like James O'Keefe and Michael Knowles talking about things like how to stand up for yourself, why we must resist the establishment lies.

00:03:41.000 But I got a couple big updates.

00:03:42.000 Notably, if you click that big old beautiful Members Only button, you can see you can now pay with Stripe.

00:03:47.000 So for everybody who is saying, I don't want to sign up with PayPal, you have another option here.

00:03:51.000 Definitely check it out.

00:03:52.000 But if you go to Store, You will see something truly incredible.

00:03:56.000 There is a new product in the TimCast.com store.

00:03:59.000 It is called To The Moon, and it is modeled off of the I Am A Gorilla shirt, because apparently that's the thing we're doing now.

00:04:06.000 And it is a Sheba with coins bursting out from behind him, holding stacks of cash.

00:04:11.000 And it says, To The Moon.

00:04:12.000 It's a reference to Dogecoin.

00:04:14.000 So if you want to get your To The Moon and then to Mars, it says in the URL, you can get your silly Dogecoin shirt.

00:04:21.000 I ended up making this one simply because I was convinced, and I ended up buying Dogecoin.

00:04:25.000 I'm not telling anybody to go buy Dogecoin, but you should buy the shirt!

00:04:29.000 I'm allowed to give advice to people when it comes to me selling merch, but apparently you can't give financial advice, so it's like, if you want a shirt, you can buy it.

00:04:36.000 Isn't that weird?

00:04:37.000 You can push what is clearly a depreciating asset, but if you tell someone to go buy something and go, I think this might make you some money, then they'll be like, alright, you're giving financial advice.

00:04:45.000 But what's the real issue?

00:04:46.000 Do you get sued or something?

00:04:47.000 I don't know.

00:04:48.000 False hope?

00:04:49.000 I wonder if that's just a meme, to be honest.

00:04:51.000 Yeah, I know there's a lot of people who are in finance, whenever they talk about something they'll always go, now I'm not giving financial advice, but I'm just saying.

00:04:59.000 There might be advertising law around it. 0.68

00:05:02.000 Or people could be like, they gave advice and I lost money so I'm suing you.

00:05:05.000 Maybe, is that it?

00:05:06.000 Can they sue you for that?

00:05:07.000 But I can say this, don't buy Dogecoin.

00:05:10.000 Buy the Dogecoin shirt.

00:05:14.000 So what happens if you're like, he said not to buy Bitcoin, and then I didn't, and then Bitcoin went up, you know, a thousand percent?

00:05:19.000 I demand that money!

00:05:20.000 That'd be the best lawsuit ever.

00:05:23.000 You did not tell me how to get rich.

00:05:25.000 Yeah, right.

00:05:26.000 Dare you.

00:05:27.000 All right, let's talk about this first story.

00:05:30.000 And, man. 0.98

00:05:33.000 We live in truly the dumbest of times, I suppose. 0.97

00:05:36.000 The Daily Mail runs this story why no one needs to work in Biden's America. 0.81

00:05:40.000 Experts project anyone who earned $32,000 before COVID could now earn more in benefit staying home.

00:05:47.000 The average weekly unemployment benefit is now $638, $300 more than what it was in 2019.

00:05:51.000 $138, $300 more than what it was in 2019.

00:05:55.000 That means people are earning around $16 an hour, more than double minimum wage, which

00:06:00.000 was at least $7.25 across America.

00:06:03.000 If you're living in New York and you're getting 15 bucks an hour working fast food, you're like, eh, might as well just quit.

00:06:08.000 I'll get a raise.

00:06:09.000 Get a raise if it don't work.

00:06:11.000 So they say it's creating a nightmare scenario for the economy.

00:06:15.000 Businesses are desperate to recover from the pandemic, but they can't fill their jobs.

00:06:19.000 The funny thing is, there's 7.1 open jobs.

00:06:22.000 I guess that's like the number that comes from the government.

00:06:26.000 266,000 jobs created in April because people are going in, they're like, how much do you pay?

00:06:30.000 And they're like, 15 an hour.

00:06:32.000 And they're like, meh, I'm going home.

00:06:33.000 You said 7.1 million jobs are open right now?

00:06:37.000 Looking for people to work.

00:06:39.000 And there's nobody wants to do it.

00:06:40.000 I know, I know at least five people who are doing the unemployment thing, knowingly avoiding work because of it.

00:06:48.000 Well, this is actually, I don't blame them, not every single person.

00:06:53.000 So when I was, I think I was maybe 20 or 21, I got unemployment for losing a job.

00:06:58.000 And the people at the unemployment office literally told me not to take a job that was paying less because it creates a dependency.

00:07:04.000 So like I was talking to them and they were like, look, Look for work.

00:07:09.000 We don't expect you to take a really low-paying job because the fear is that if you can't support yourself, you'll just be right back here on the phone again.

00:07:16.000 So find a real job.

00:07:17.000 It's like, oh, okay.

00:07:18.000 All right.

00:07:19.000 They were like, otherwise we just get too many people who keep taking bad jobs and can't sustain themselves.

00:07:19.000 That's what they told me.

00:07:24.000 Well, what do you think's happening now?

00:07:26.000 People are getting 16 bucks an hour.

00:07:27.000 They're like, there's no way I can take 15 bucks an hour because I can't pay my bills.

00:07:30.000 I'm getting more unemployment.

00:07:31.000 And I think it's actually a bit worse than that, because if you actually think through the logic of the economics of it, right, it's not just that if you're getting paid $16 an hour to do nothing, that doesn't just mean like, oh okay, well I'll only take a job for $17 an hour.

00:07:46.000 That means that a job at $17 an hour is effectively a job at $1 an hour.

00:07:51.000 That you have to work for $1 an hour.

00:07:54.000 A job at $20 an hour is $4 an hour.

00:07:57.000 Plus you gotta get up every day.

00:07:58.000 Plus you gotta pay for gas or transportation or this.

00:08:02.000 So now it comes back down.

00:08:03.000 I mean, it really throws the incentives wildly off.

00:08:07.000 There's good news here though, because the backdoor UBI experiment has proven it doesn't

00:08:13.000 And so let's just get UBI out of there. 1.00

00:08:15.000 Sorry, UBI enthusiasts.

00:08:17.000 I think Joe is a UBI enthusiast.

00:08:20.000 Yeah, well, it's a question of who it doesn't work for.

00:08:23.000 You know, I mean, it certainly doesn't work for the taxpayer.

00:08:26.000 I suppose it works for the people who are collecting these benefits temporarily.

00:08:31.000 But what does it actually do long term?

00:08:33.000 You know, if you can just imagine, like imagine if we were just on a desert island somewhere and you were like, okay, we're all poor.

00:08:40.000 We're on this desert island.

00:08:41.000 We got to work.

00:08:42.000 Someone's got to pick fruit.

00:08:43.000 Someone's got to fish.

00:08:44.000 Someone's got to build shelter.

00:08:45.000 We got to work.

00:08:46.000 And then someone else said, well, I'll just, uh, I got paper in my pocket.

00:08:50.000 And I'll just, yeah, I'll, I'll supervise and I'll start divvying out the paper amongst us.

00:08:50.000 I'll supervise.

00:08:55.000 And they go, don't worry, you're really wealthy because I gave you this money.

00:08:58.000 That's basically the game that we're playing right now.

00:09:00.000 Well, this actually is extremely beneficial to, you know, the Great Reset Davos group kind of people.

00:09:06.000 Because think about it.

00:09:07.000 around these paper Federal Reserve notes?

00:09:09.000 Well, this actually is extremely beneficial to, you know, the great Reset Davos group

00:09:14.000 kind of people. Because think about it. Right now, they have created a system in which

00:09:18.000 people will make more money not working, which means no consumption, no plastic, no pollution,

00:09:25.000 no waste, no gas being used, no carbon emissions, just people sitting around being like, oh.

00:09:29.000 And the best part is, they're dragging everyone else down with them.

00:09:34.000 So it's like, it's the ultimate crabs in a bucket.

00:09:37.000 The only issue is, the crabs, you know crabs in a bucket is crabs in a barrel?

00:09:40.000 Right, whenever a crab tries to get out, the other crab pulls it down.

00:09:43.000 That implies that one crab is like, hey, you can't leave, or I'm gonna climb out of you to escape.

00:09:48.000 In this instance, it's people just being tied to the other crab.

00:09:51.000 Like, all the crabs are tied together.

00:09:53.000 So when a bunch of crabs are like, nah, we're better off in the bucket, don't leave, the ones that actually want to do better are being weighted down by those who don't.

00:10:00.000 What's happening basically is, people gotta understand this, dollars are meaningless.

00:10:05.000 A dollar is just the current representation of the value of the labor you've traded.

00:10:09.000 And it only really matters that day because the value keeps changing because it's a deflationary currency.

00:10:15.000 It devalues itself over a long period of time.

00:10:17.000 So, you go and work.

00:10:18.000 You get ten bucks.

00:10:20.000 If you sit on that money, it becomes worth less every single day.

00:10:23.000 The reason it is, because the government just prints and borrows money.

00:10:26.000 So what's happening is, you create value with your labor.

00:10:29.000 Let's call it a unit of labor. 0.89

00:10:30.000 One hour.

00:10:31.000 You create one hour.

00:10:32.000 And then someone comes up to you and says, I'd like to trade you one hour of my labor.

00:10:37.000 The only problem, they didn't actually have any real labor behind that dollar because the government just printed it and gave it to them.

00:10:43.000 So the total amount of value in the system stays the same, but the total amount of trade currency to exchange value keeps going up.

00:10:51.000 And if I could take that a step further, because you're absolutely right.

00:10:51.000 Yes.

00:10:55.000 If you were to enslave somebody, and take an hour of their labor.

00:11:01.000 I enslave you for an hour and I take you were a slave for that hour.

00:11:04.000 That unit of your hour was ill gotten by me because I enslaved you.

00:11:08.000 Yeah. But if you work for that hour and you get one unit of Federal Reserve notes

00:11:13.000 and then I print that money away and slowly steal it from you,

00:11:17.000 what have I really in effect done other than retroactively enslaved you

00:11:22.000 for the time that you work?

00:11:23.000 Yes, but you're still happy.

00:11:25.000 Well, for a little bit.

00:11:27.000 I don't know.

00:11:27.000 This country doesn't seem that happy to me.

00:11:30.000 Yeah, but for stupid reasons. 1.00

00:11:32.000 For like the stupidest of reasons. 1.00

00:11:34.000 They think Nazis are running around everywhere. 1.00

00:11:36.000 It's like, have you gone outside?

00:11:37.000 That's just not reality.

00:11:38.000 You know, in addition to what you guys are talking about, about the value of labor and the Federal Reserve note representing that, not only are they printing more notes and hoarding them so that the value of the actual note to labor ratio is devaluing, but people aren't actually doing labor.

00:11:53.000 That's my point.

00:11:53.000 So there's even less value.

00:11:55.000 That's what I just said.

00:11:56.000 And so, it's one thing, like, after World War II, modern monetary policy printed a bunch of extra money so that they could create production to then pay off the debt that they created.

00:12:05.000 Right now, we're just printing the money without the production creation.

00:12:08.000 But they're probably doing it for the same reason.

00:12:10.000 So a lot of people talked about how all these blue states had massive debt, and then they're like, we better pump trillions of dollars into the economy and then shut down all the small businesses so only the massive multinational corporations take all that money.

00:12:22.000 Well, I'll tell you one of the huge differences, right?

00:12:24.000 Okay, so after World War II, as we were talking about before, right, there's every industrial country in the world was destroyed in war except America.

00:12:32.000 I mean, we fought the war abroad, but we weren't destroyed at home.

00:12:35.000 Our productive capacity was intact.

00:12:38.000 And on top of that, we had the Bretton Woods Agreement.

00:12:40.000 So there was some limit to the amount of money that the government could print.

00:12:46.000 After 1971, when Richard Nixon took us off the gold standard, then it really became a free-for-all, where we could just print as much money as we want.

00:12:54.000 And a lot of times, left-wing people will point back to the early 70s as this time—even Bernie Sanders, I think, points to this sometimes, where he goes, you know, since the 70s, wages haven't kept up with productivity.

00:13:07.000 And all of a sudden, the real super-rich are getting really, really rich.

00:13:10.000 And the working class doesn't have the same rise in standard of living.

00:13:13.000 And this is what it all comes back to, is that if you have a government that can print money out of thin air with absolutely nothing to restrain it, you're going to get an awful, crony, fascistic economy.

00:13:27.000 It's really simple, man.

00:13:28.000 You are sitting there holding a big, beautiful cheeseburger that you cooked for yourself, and I walk up and I have a rock in my hand and I say, trust me, this rock is valuable.

00:13:36.000 I'll give you this rock for your cheeseburger.

00:13:38.000 And they're like, deal.

00:13:39.000 And then you take that cheeseburger, you gave them nothing for it, but they think it's valuable.

00:13:44.000 Or it's just slowly eroding the value away.

00:13:48.000 So the government can come in, do no real work, buy things, convince people to do things, services, labor, resources, and they're not putting anything into the system.

00:13:56.000 Well, listen, this is what Ron Paul used to always say, which I think is like the best way to look at it, right?

00:14:00.000 Is that all the government can do is tax.

00:14:03.000 Now, there's three forms of how they can tax you.

00:14:06.000 They can just tax you.

00:14:08.000 In which case you pay your taxes.

00:14:10.000 Or they can borrow money, which is basically just a promise that they'll tax you in the future.

00:14:15.000 Or they can print money, which is in effect a tax because it robs the value of your money.

00:14:21.000 It's all the same thing.

00:14:21.000 He still says those things, Dave.

00:14:22.000 He still says those.

00:14:23.000 He's not dead yet.

00:14:24.000 That's a good point.

00:14:26.000 He says them more than ever, but what I mean is that when he was running for president, he used to make these points.

00:14:31.000 You're right.

00:14:32.000 The great Ron Paul still says these things.

00:14:33.000 But the point is that the government, if you just think about it like this, in the terms you were laying out, right?

00:14:38.000 All that is happening is there's production.

00:14:39.000 That's how wealth is created.

00:14:41.000 People produce things.

00:14:42.000 They work.

00:14:43.000 The government doesn't produce anything.

00:14:46.000 All they do is take from us.

00:14:48.000 Bureaucracy?

00:14:49.000 They're really good at making bureaucracy.

00:14:51.000 Yes, but bureaucracy does not produce anything.

00:14:54.000 We have to pay for the bureaucracy.

00:14:56.000 Now hold on there a minute, Dave.

00:14:59.000 Couldn't an average working Joe like myself just learn these rules and exploit this system to benefit in much the same way the wealthy do?

00:15:07.000 Well, how would you do that?

00:15:09.000 Well, so you understand how they deflate these currencies and things, right?

00:15:13.000 Or I'm sorry, they inflate the currencies, they devalue the currencies.

00:15:15.000 So if you take out a really massive loan and put your money into a hard asset that will appreciate, say, property, then when the dollar continues to become worthless, the debt you owe to the bank is substantially worth less as well.

00:15:28.000 So the rich people who are holding debt in dollars, the value of that debt is diminished, but the hard asset stays the same.

00:15:36.000 I feel like you're just telling me your life story, but yes.

00:15:40.000 Look, if you can get access to a loan, then yes, certainly there are things that you can invest in that could perhaps be a hedge against inflation or you could invest in precious metals or in cryptocurrency or something like that.

00:15:52.000 But regardless of that, the vast majority of people probably are not going to invest in those.

00:15:57.000 That's the point.

00:15:57.000 They're out there working and basically support.

00:16:00.000 If you wonder, you know, there's it's funny because sometimes people like Bernie Sanders is just the example.

00:16:06.000 It keeps popping in my head.

00:16:07.000 But he'll say these things like he'll be like, did you know that, you know, the of the new money created, you know, whatever the numbers are, 90 percent has gone to the top 1 percent or something like this.

00:16:17.000 And he's right.

00:16:18.000 Like his numbers are right.

00:16:20.000 But you look at what we've had since Obama, say really since 2008 to now, we've had record high government spending, higher government spending than any government in the history of the world, and interest rates have basically remained around zero the whole time.

00:16:33.000 And that's what's leading to all of this.

00:16:35.000 But isn't it true that by creating this system, wealthy individuals, or people of even modest wealth, are able to hedge their money, retain value, devalue their loans, and thus, it keeps the rabble out of politics. 0.90

00:16:50.000 You know, we can't have poors running around actually dictating how we do things in this country. 1.00

00:16:54.000 Could you imagine?

00:16:55.000 You watched The Patriot recently.

00:16:56.000 I'm joking, by the way.

00:16:57.000 But you watched The Patriot recently, and you have, I think it was Cornwallis, and he was like, you must stop targeting our officers.

00:17:03.000 Could you imagine what war would be like without gentlemen?

00:17:06.000 I feel like that's kind of the attitude, because what we're seeing with this kind of policy is, Like, so Joe Biden actually is saying right now, after all this comes out, he's like, no, I think we should print more money.

00:17:19.000 You know why?

00:17:21.000 Rich people, their assets are in, you know, their value, their money is not in dollars.

00:17:29.000 So when $1 tomorrow is not only worth the equivalent of 50 cents, well, they're holding gold, or they're holding Bitcoin, or they're holding property and real estate.

00:17:38.000 The loans to the bank go down for all the rich people and the poor people, but the poor people also don't have any money to begin with.

00:17:44.000 So if you're of modest means and you've got, you know, a thousand bucks in the bank, tomorrow you got $500 worth in the bank.

00:17:50.000 Your loans may be only worth half as much, but you still don't have any money or any appreciating assets.

00:17:56.000 So the things you do own You're not really gaining all that much.

00:18:00.000 Your job isn't now paying you more money all of a sudden.

00:18:03.000 So they're printing out unemployment at 16 bucks an hour.

00:18:06.000 So nobody is producing anything, but they're still demanding things.

00:18:10.000 They are rapidly deflating the economy, which, I'm sorry, devaluing.

00:18:15.000 I keep mixing it up.

00:18:16.000 And so what's gonna happen is the rich are going to get richer at rocket speed, and the poor are going to get poorer at rocket speed.

00:18:23.000 It's right there.

00:18:23.000 I saw it last year with Amazon.

00:18:25.000 I don't know what their actual value increase was, but it was off the charts.

00:18:28.000 Unexpected.

00:18:29.000 I mean, if you'd really thought about it, you would have seen it coming.

00:18:32.000 Look at this.

00:18:33.000 We here at TimCast IRL are relegated to drinking RC Cola!

00:18:36.000 One of the best colas.

00:18:37.000 RC's a fantastic drink.

00:18:37.000 I'm just kidding.

00:18:38.000 Tim's been very excited to shout out RC.

00:18:42.000 I'm like, I make sure that we don't get that Coke garbage in this house.

00:18:45.000 That was actually an upgrade for, uh, for Tim cast was we were finally making enough money.

00:18:49.000 You can pull off the RC coal.

00:18:51.000 That's actually true.

00:18:52.000 Because most people would just go to the store and get what they can.

00:18:52.000 Yeah.

00:18:54.000 And it's going to be at this point, you got to work to get ordered the RC man.

00:18:54.000 Yeah.

00:18:58.000 Well, look, I mean, what, what drives me crazy about it is every single time when these politicians, Joe Biden does it all the time where he says, well, you know, uh, it's the pandemic that destroyed all of these jobs.

00:19:09.000 I mean, let's get real.

00:19:10.000 It's not the pandemic.

00:19:11.000 It's not the virus that destroyed the economy.

00:19:14.000 It was China government lockdowns.

00:19:16.000 Well, no, it's not even China.

00:19:17.000 And it was the Chinese government, by the way, who allowed the pandemic to get out. 0.97

00:19:21.000 Like there were Chinese doctors who blew the whistle on this whole thing.

00:19:21.000 Right.

00:19:24.000 And they're somewhere in a Chinese prison right now if they're still alive.

00:19:27.000 But it was our own government.

00:19:29.000 Even forget what China did.

00:19:30.000 It was our own government that locked down our economy and destroyed it.

00:19:34.000 They're still locking down the economy in most of these blue states and they're still destroying the economy.

00:19:40.000 Even when there is no even plausibly reasonable scientific argument to do so.

00:19:46.000 I mean like you look at Florida and Texas and the fact that they're open back up and that they're doing better than the national average despite what Fauci predicted would happen when Florida and Texas opened up.

00:19:57.000 And the fact is that we're basically at a point now with COVID where even though, I mean, look, this was obvious from about April 2020, but right now about 50% of the adult population has been vaccinated.

00:20:09.000 Of the other 50% who hasn't been vaccinated, I've seen estimates from 30 to 60% have had COVID at some point and have some natural immunity to it.

00:20:19.000 On top of that, we basically know now that asymptomatic spread is Very, very low, if it happens at all.

00:20:25.000 So the idea of these super-spreader events are pretty much over.

00:20:29.000 But none of that matters, because the TV doctor said so.

00:20:29.000 It's just not a reality.

00:20:33.000 Dr. Phil, epidemiology department, says that we have to keep locking down.

00:20:33.000 Well, that's right.

00:20:40.000 So all of this is now self-imposed, or government-imposed harm.

00:20:45.000 It was always, though.

00:20:46.000 But we're almost beyond this because now, if you look to Texas and Florida that are doing really well, they are still going to be harmed by the current economic policies of, we're going to give everybody $16 an hour equivalent unemployment.

00:20:59.000 And so that means people in Texas are going to be like, why should I work?

00:21:03.000 The response to this has been absolutely insane.

00:21:05.000 Exactly what you were describing just now makes me think sometimes when people get severely ill or something like with cancer and then they take some sort of radiation therapy like chemo and the chemo ends up doing more damage to their body and destroying their body and they die.

00:21:19.000 But then not always.

00:21:19.000 Right.

00:21:20.000 But if that sometimes if something that were to happen, they would call it a cancer death,

00:21:24.000 even though the medication was so toxic that maybe it was a medic.

00:21:28.000 The medication killed the person.

00:21:30.000 I always measured as a cancer death.

00:21:32.000 Right.

00:21:33.000 OK.

00:21:34.000 I feel like the response to the covid thing has done more damage than covid did.

00:21:39.000 It seems like.

00:21:40.000 Listen, I don't like that argument because there's only so much we can do as human beings trying to trust the experts.

00:21:46.000 The issue now is that you have Texas and Florida doing really, really well.

00:21:49.000 So it's not this argument about cancer and chemo and, you know, oh, the doctor said this.

00:21:54.000 No, it's like literally Texas and Florida have opened up.

00:21:56.000 Many other states haven't even shut down.

00:21:58.000 I think South and North Dakota's economies have actually grown a little bit relative to and they're seeing similar COVID rates.

00:22:04.000 So now it's about time to maybe get back to business and maybe have some protection for the weak, the vulnerable, you know, the people with immunocompromised.

00:22:13.000 And we should have done that a long time ago.

00:22:16.000 But it's not even necessarily about the pandemic at this point.

00:22:18.000 The issue is...

00:22:20.000 We're supposed to be getting back to work.

00:22:21.000 They've administrated how many vaccines?

00:22:23.000 Like a hundred million or something?

00:22:24.000 And they're still... The problem is, in March we saw this massive job growth and Joe Biden was clapping for himself and patting himself on the back.

00:22:33.000 And now they're still saying they're going to ramp up unemployment.

00:22:37.000 Why?

00:22:38.000 I thought, like, so West Virginia just announced the mask mandate's going away.

00:22:42.000 They're done with it.

00:22:42.000 That's it.

00:22:43.000 Texas and Florida reopened up.

00:22:45.000 People starting to reopen.

00:22:46.000 So now we're in an economic policy issue that has nothing to do with the pandemic at this point.

00:22:51.000 Now they're literally just giving people money that's going to stop them from working.

00:22:55.000 And it's funny because this is exactly what they were saying last year when there was a few Republicans.

00:22:59.000 I think Thomas Massey was one of them.

00:23:00.000 They were like, we shouldn't give people more money than they could make working because then no one will work.

00:23:05.000 And the response on the left, this is what I got to say, man.

00:23:08.000 Anybody who comes to you and says, you just want poor people to suffer. 0.88

00:23:13.000 Tell them to shut up. 0.95

00:23:14.000 Anybody arguing that people shouldn't have to work are not serious people. 0.94

00:23:18.000 They're just trying to steal from you.

00:23:20.000 That's it.

00:23:21.000 It's like someone in your house and there's dishes everywhere and you're like, look, we ought to do chores.

00:23:25.000 No, man, you're just oppressing me.

00:23:27.000 I shouldn't have to do any chores. 0.99

00:23:29.000 Like chores are dumb. 0.96

00:23:30.000 No, sorry man. 0.96

00:23:31.000 Everyone's gotta pitch in to make sure the house is clean and make sure things are being produced.

00:23:35.000 You got a large faction of leftists who are screaming, I shouldn't have to work.

00:23:39.000 We should not be listening to those people.

00:23:41.000 Those are kids.

00:23:42.000 Those are the children in the house screaming like, why do I have to do the dishes?

00:23:45.000 Because we're all working in this house together to make the house function.

00:23:48.000 The people who don't want to do any work?

00:23:49.000 You know what you end up with? 0.92

00:23:50.000 You end up with some kids, like, a 30-year-old child, living in a basement, just, like, really hairy and greasy and just not doing any work, and being like, Shut up, Mom!

00:24:00.000 I don't want to work!

00:24:01.000 Stop, stop, stop giving these people things.

00:24:05.000 Well, look, and I will say that there are, I'm sure, some people, in fact, there definitely are some people in situations that are really awful situations where it's hard for them to work for whatever reason.

00:24:18.000 But the point to me is that, look, Economics are realities, and you can't just pretend that they're not if they don't feel good.

00:24:28.000 In the same sense that I'm sure most people on the left would understand, like, why is it that you want to subsidize green energy and you want to tax nicotine, right, or cigarettes?

00:24:41.000 Because you know if you subsidize something, you're going to get more of it.

00:24:44.000 If you tax something, you're going to get less of it.

00:24:46.000 That's just those are just economic realities.

00:24:48.000 They don't have emotions.

00:24:49.000 That's just the reality of the situation.

00:24:51.000 Just like, you know, in some sense, like the laws of physics, this is what you're going to get.

00:24:55.000 So if you subsidize people not working, and then tax people for working, you are going to get less people working than you otherwise would and more people not working.

00:25:05.000 So we have to be adult enough to deal with those realities.

00:25:09.000 That if you're going to pay people to not work, regardless of what the situation is, you're going to get a lot of people who otherwise would work, now not work.

00:25:19.000 We got the story from Fox.

00:25:19.000 Check this out.

00:25:21.000 McDonald's drive-thru customer spots savage sign telling people to be patient.

00:25:27.000 No one wants to work.

00:25:28.000 This is kind of incredible to see someone at McDonald's actually put up.

00:25:32.000 Because it's a... Is there a photo?

00:25:34.000 There's a video of it.

00:25:35.000 I can't play the video.

00:25:36.000 Well, actually, I think I can, but I'd rather just read it.

00:25:38.000 So it's a TikTok user named Brittany Logan spotted the sign, called it savage.

00:25:42.000 It says, we are short staffed.

00:25:44.000 Please be patient with the staff that did show up.

00:25:47.000 No one wants to work anymore.

00:25:50.000 Yeah, man, the great Elon Musk quote, if you don't make stuff, there's no stuff.

00:25:57.000 Yeah.

00:25:57.000 But simultaneously, he supports UBI.

00:25:57.000 Yeah.

00:26:01.000 Sort of.

00:26:03.000 I've heard quotes.

00:26:04.000 Listen, listen.

00:26:05.000 Am I going to cry about, you know, chemical garbage food not being pumped out to poor people?

00:26:11.000 Not really.

00:26:12.000 It is a problem.

00:26:13.000 Don't get me wrong. 0.86

00:26:14.000 But part of me deep inside is like, I just want to gloat that McDonald's can't, you know, keep cranking out this chemical garbage food. 0.57

00:26:20.000 You know what I mean?

00:26:21.000 Yeah, well, I certainly understand that.

00:26:23.000 I also do wonder how much of a factor is, you know, the fact that people have been really, I mean, Like the psychological damage over the last year is really something.

00:26:36.000 I mean pretty much everybody in the positions of authority in this country were just working overtime to terrify the American people about this floating abstraction of a germ That they have to live their lives in constant fear and always be inside and covering your face and social distancing.

00:26:56.000 And I'd imagine there are some people that you mix that in with the economic incentives of like, we'll pay you a little bit if you don't work.

00:27:02.000 There's probably a lot of people who are like really scared.

00:27:06.000 It reinforces the belief.

00:27:07.000 But I don't, I honestly, I don't know, man.

00:27:10.000 I think it's probably a lot of people being like, don't got to work, ain't going to work.

00:27:13.000 You know what I mean?

00:27:13.000 There's a lot of that too.

00:27:14.000 Like, look, before any COVID stuff, we saw the Green New Deal. 0.85

00:27:17.000 And what did it say?

00:27:18.000 That frequently asked questions put up by AOC.

00:27:20.000 Unwilling or unable.

00:27:23.000 Unwilling to work.

00:27:24.000 They said they were going to provide, what does it say?

00:27:26.000 Economic access to those unwilling to work.

00:27:29.000 Unwilling.

00:27:30.000 It's like your parents go down to the basement and they see you sitting there in your own filth and like, get a job. 1.00

00:27:36.000 No, shut up, mom! 1.00

00:27:38.000 Then AOC's like, we should help him and give him money. 0.98

00:27:40.000 The best part of it was that they put it up on her website in the frequently asked questions.

00:27:45.000 And then when people started making fun of it, they were like, they were like offended that you'd bring it up.

00:27:49.000 You're like, oh, you're going to bring up that old thing?

00:27:51.000 It's from your website.

00:27:53.000 Like what?

00:27:54.000 Yes.

00:27:54.000 We're going to ask you about it.

00:27:56.000 I mean, they said it was a first draft.

00:27:58.000 It wasn't supposed to go up.

00:27:59.000 There's a viral meme where somebody tweeted, it's like a viral tweet, this guy tweeted, yo, my job started saying they're ending remote working and people started quitting.

00:28:08.000 The revolution is here.

00:28:10.000 Like there's actually a subreddit called anti-work.

00:28:12.000 There are people who are like, I don't want to work.

00:28:15.000 So the crazy thing is, when you talk to a lot of these leftists about this stuff, they say things like, yeah, but who would want to work at McDonald's, you know?

00:28:23.000 Like, is that a question of status, or is that a question of money?

00:28:27.000 Because, you know, I think a lot of McDonald's actually pay 15 bucks an hour.

00:28:30.000 The problem is unemployment's paying more than that.

00:28:32.000 And so McDonald's will have to increase- This is why UBI makes no sense.

00:28:35.000 Here's where this ultimately ends up.

00:28:37.000 What's happening now with this unemployment policy is just eroding the base of the economy, which will ultimately fall apart.

00:28:45.000 UBI doesn't work.

00:28:47.000 You ever watch the Hunger Games?

00:28:47.000 You know why?

00:28:49.000 You guys see the Hunger Games?

00:28:50.000 Yeah, in the Capitol in the Hunger Games. 0.98

00:28:52.000 They were gluttons who would drink Ipecac to barf to eat more food. 0.94

00:28:59.000 They did something like that in Rome, didn't they? 0.99

00:29:01.000 Like vomitoriums or something?

00:29:02.000 After feasting, the feathers and stuff.

00:29:05.000 Yeah, they'd go barf and then eat more.

00:29:07.000 Vomiting is not where vomitorium comes from, but that might be true. 0.74

00:29:09.000 Something like that.

00:29:10.000 The point is, in the Hunger Games, they have the districts who have to work.

00:29:15.000 And, you know, the main character is in the coal mining district.

00:29:18.000 And the people in the capital don't do work.

00:29:21.000 This is what these people truly want.

00:29:22.000 The leftists who are advocating for this stuff want to live in the Hunger Games, but they want to be the capital.

00:29:27.000 Another example is how they want student loan forgiveness.

00:29:31.000 Now, I actually am for some form of forgiveness, maybe forgiving interest rates.

00:29:36.000 Saying, pay back the principal of what you owe now, but we're not going to keep raising the interest rates because that's insane.

00:29:41.000 Make it easy to pay off, but not free.

00:29:43.000 How insane is it that the left right now is advocating for the working class people to pay off the debts of the highest income earners in the country?

00:29:52.000 People with college degrees have higher salaries than people who don't, and they want the working class people to pay off their debts. 0.96

00:29:59.000 That is the capital city in the Hunger Games.

00:30:02.000 Now they're saying, they have these memes where it's like, if you can't afford to pay someone more than they could make on unemployment, then you are exploiting poverty.

00:30:10.000 Bro, they're paying people $16 an hour to be on unemployment.

00:30:14.000 How long is that going on?

00:30:16.000 So it's been going on for a year and Biden's saying he's going to extend it.

00:30:19.000 Okay, so the plan right now is with the new $2 trillion relief package is to keep it going.

00:30:23.000 Obama did that 2008, nine, something like that.

00:30:26.000 But that was that was that was an I think that was an extension on standard unemployment.

00:30:30.000 Yeah, yeah, it was an extension to 99 weeks back then.

00:30:34.000 but that the thing is like you you see by then talking about

00:30:38.000 just the other day when he gave that speech to the distance masked congress and he's talking about taxing corporations

00:30:46.000 and how they don't pay their fair share and they have all these tax loopholes and all this and even forget the fact

00:30:51.000 that Joe Biden's been a senator for eighty five years he's written all of these you know tax loopholes into the law or

00:30:57.000 at least sign them into law that the truth is that he just signed one of the biggest if not the biggest corporate

00:31:04.000 welfare bills in history.

00:31:07.000 And to sign that into history and be giving all of these money to giant corporations and then turn around and say, you know, we really got to get some of this money back is just so disingenuous.

00:31:17.000 I mean, like, like, Stop giving them money.

00:31:20.000 Stop taxing.

00:31:21.000 And this is the same thing you're saying with bailing out student loan debts.

00:31:25.000 Stop taxing working people and paying the well-to-do with the money that you got.

00:31:31.000 If we can't get that basic thing right, what are we talking about here?

00:31:35.000 This is why Democrats want 16-year-olds to vote. 0.98

00:31:38.000 Because 16-year-olds are going to be sitting there and being like, dude, it's so dumb that they're homeless people. 0.99

00:31:43.000 Just put the homeless person in the house. 1.00

00:31:43.000 We have houses. 1.00

00:31:46.000 Are you dumb? 1.00

00:31:47.000 And that's what they'll be voting for. 1.00

00:31:49.000 Right now you have these 20-something democratic socialist types who are like, the Biden administration needs to be printing money and increasing unemployment.

00:31:56.000 This is absurd.

00:31:57.000 People are losing their jobs.

00:31:58.000 And it's like, have you ever had a job?

00:31:59.000 Well, no, but it's not the point.

00:32:01.000 And then it's like, okay, so what you're saying is the government Should borrow tons of money, print tons of money, devaluing the savings of the working class while all the businesses are shut down so that people are forced to buy from Amazon.

00:32:12.000 So basically, they're devaluing the money you have and then giving what they've extracted from you to Amazon and Walmart and these other companies.

00:32:20.000 That's a great leftist policy.

00:32:20.000 That's great.

00:32:22.000 But hey, don't get me wrong.

00:32:23.000 These are the people that are coming out right now cheering for Facebook and laughing about it.

00:32:27.000 That is until they get censored and they come begging for help saying, please, we're the free speech warriors.

00:32:31.000 I got censored.

00:32:32.000 So how many states are open?

00:32:36.000 Um, I think for the most part, like the blue ones are like somewhat opening.

00:32:40.000 So now it's basically like sort of a battle of the states.

00:32:45.000 In a sense.

00:32:46.000 Oh, dude, we're we are.

00:32:47.000 We're being torn to shreds.

00:32:49.000 You look at I think I mentioned this a while ago.

00:32:51.000 Joe Biden said, you know, we're gonna have another lockdown if we need it.

00:32:54.000 And I'm like, Florida's already open for business.

00:32:57.000 So who's Joe Biden talking to?

00:33:00.000 Only the blue states.

00:33:01.000 Yeah.

00:33:02.000 When he comes out and says, you know, do X, do Y, lock things down, and Texas is like doing the exact opposite, you know he is not speaking to a single person in Texas.

00:33:11.000 Yeah, I've never seen anything like this in my life in our country.

00:33:15.000 And there's been, you know, there's always examples of where, like, the media has their propaganda and real people don't really believe it.

00:33:22.000 But there's something about watching, you know, the, you know, Fauci, And the CDC guidelines and you'll see on CNN and they're like, hey, we've just decided you can take your mask off outside.

00:33:36.000 And you're literally like looking out your window at kids just playing with their masks off.

00:33:40.000 And it really feels like something out of the Soviet Union, like the propaganda has come down from Pravda.

00:33:46.000 And you're looking and you're like, we've been doing this forever.

00:33:50.000 But what are you talking about?

00:33:52.000 And I know there are some people who have.

00:33:53.000 No, no, no.

00:33:54.000 What I mean is local ordinances have already ended on outdoor masks.

00:33:57.000 But that's my point.

00:34:00.000 Even of liberal people who kind of believe in the whole we're supposed to wear masks thing, who has been following all of the rules?

00:34:09.000 Are people still living like it's March of 2020?

00:34:12.000 You're not hugging a family member?

00:34:14.000 What I'm saying is, they actually lifted the mandates in Maryland for instance, and then Fauci's coming out later and I'm like, they already lifted the mandates!

00:34:22.000 What are you talking about?

00:34:23.000 Well that's it, and it's almost like they're going like, now we've given you our official national orders that you can do the thing that you've been doing for 10 months.

00:34:32.000 So go ahead and do that.

00:34:33.000 And it's very bizarre.

00:34:35.000 And you see this, right?

00:34:37.000 Like in Florida, in Texas, which both states people are flooding into, people have been living relatively normal lives.

00:34:45.000 And to pretend that we're just now getting to the point where outdoors you can take your mask off, there's such a disconnect from reality.

00:34:53.000 I don't think South Dakota ever even had that.

00:34:56.000 Outdoor mask mandates?

00:34:56.000 Yeah.

00:34:57.000 I'm not, I don't think so.

00:34:58.000 Uh, Texas and Florida completely opened up.

00:35:00.000 But I bring up Maryland specifically because it's like, they got a Republican governor, but it's a blue, blue state.

00:35:06.000 They lifted their outdoor mask mandates a little while ago.

00:35:09.000 And now I see like Fauci coming out.

00:35:10.000 I'm like, who, who is he talking to?

00:35:12.000 California and New York.

00:35:13.000 He's not talking to the rest of the country.

00:35:15.000 So isn't this the 10th amendment in practice?

00:35:17.000 Like, okay.

00:35:18.000 From the example of Maryland, I've never seen people outside with masks, period. 0.91

00:35:21.000 Except the occasional moronic runner who decides to wear his mask while he's running.

00:35:25.000 But isn't this the Tenth Amendment, where states are just deciding to do their own thing? 0.89

00:35:29.000 Because this was never delegated to the federal government.

00:35:32.000 Well, you know, this is, I mean, it's a real sick perversion of the Tenth Amendment, if it is that.

00:35:37.000 Because truthfully, none of the states have the right to do what they've done.

00:35:41.000 I mean, they don't have, the Tenth Amendment basically says that anything that is not expressly delegated to the federal government is left to the states or the people.

00:35:49.000 so that if something isn't, you know, delegated to a federal power, the states can do it.

00:35:55.000 But there is no legality to the states violating constitutionally protected rights in the Bill

00:36:02.000 of Rights. So like there, the Cuomo and, you know, Newsom and all of these governors.

00:36:09.000 Yeah, they did not have the right to shut down a religious ceremony to tell you that you can't peacefully assemble.

00:36:16.000 I mean, what we've dealt with over the last year has been a true rise of many dictators amongst governors who have taken power to themselves that should be Absolutely.

00:36:29.000 by the federal or local governments or anyone willing to do it.

00:36:33.000 And to me, this was the great failure of Donald Trump in 2020, that he did not do anything

00:36:39.000 to, listen, I mean, if there's, if some, one diner in Alabama somewhere put a whites only

00:36:47.000 sign outside their door and the state government didn't want to do anything about it.

00:36:52.000 The feds would come in there and say, no, you cannot do that.

00:36:56.000 You don't have the right to do that.

00:36:58.000 And okay, fine.

00:36:59.000 But that Cuomo and and you know Newsom can just shut down their

00:37:04.000 entire states and nobody's going to come in and tell them like sorry this is a free country we

00:37:09.000 have constitutionally protected rights the the fact that that didn't happen from anyone is is uh

00:37:15.000 unconscionable.

00:37:17.000 there were lawsuits against the state for doing it. Cuomo went, okay, I'll make another executive

00:37:17.000 Yeah.

00:37:22.000 order and then sue me for that one. And they just kept doing it. That's right. You know,

00:37:26.000 so you mentioned Donald Trump and he didn't handle this.

00:37:30.000 Let me slow down a second.

00:37:33.000 A lot of people talk about the response to COVID, specifically having to deal with the spread.

00:37:37.000 And they say Trump didn't do a good enough job.

00:37:38.000 And I say, well, let's be honest, there's no control group by which to measure whether he did or didn't do a good job.

00:37:43.000 You can argue that some things in your opinion may have been better.

00:37:46.000 Honestly, I don't know all that much.

00:37:48.000 So I think Operation Warp Speed must have been a good thing.

00:37:51.000 A lot of people are really excited, cheering on Joe Biden for the vaccines that Donald Trump helped make happen.

00:37:55.000 But Donald Trump did not use the power of the federal government to protect people's constitutional rights for a year.

00:38:01.000 And you know what?

00:38:03.000 What did we see?

00:38:04.000 As riots across the country, did Donald Trump do anything about it?

00:38:07.000 No.

00:38:07.000 And people were like, well, hindsight is 20-20.

00:38:09.000 You know, now that we know that he lost, people are saying at the time, yeah, but they'll call him a fascist, say, here it comes.

00:38:16.000 And then, you know, he's trying to win in November.

00:38:17.000 It's like, well, he lost anyway, so he didn't stop any of the extremists.

00:38:20.000 They went around burning things down and smashing stuff.

00:38:23.000 And then we're all left holding the bag with a Biden presidency who also is doing nothing and it's only getting worse.

00:38:27.000 Yeah.

00:38:28.000 Which, uh, I have a story on this.

00:38:30.000 Which brings me to my next story.

00:38:32.000 This one's crazy, man.

00:38:33.000 Did you see this video?

00:38:36.000 Portland.

00:38:39.000 There was a group of armed leftists patrolling streets and blocking roads.

00:38:44.000 These aren't protesters holding hands and pulling up banners.

00:38:47.000 Literally, this is a guy with full blackout gear and body armor with an AR-15 and I think one other guy.

00:38:54.000 And they're blocking cars, smashing windows and pepper spraying people.

00:38:58.000 One guy gets up on, you know, he's like, he opens his door and he's standing up on his truck with the door open with his hand on his hip, and he draws his gun, he's holding it low ready, and the guys, the Antifa guys immediately pull their guns out, pointing their guns at him.

00:39:11.000 Yelling him stop.

00:39:12.000 They're blocking the road, alright?

00:39:14.000 At some point, he gets out of his car, and he actually draws on one of these guys.

00:39:17.000 They tackle him, take his weapon, nothing happens.

00:39:20.000 The cops are like- What was the purpose?

00:39:22.000 The purpose is that far left, the far left extremists are getting more militant, and- But were they protecting anything, or just arbitrarily- Taking control.

00:39:31.000 Taking, okay.

00:39:32.000 It's patrol.

00:39:33.000 It's a patrol.

00:39:33.000 It's not a protest.

00:39:34.000 It is.

00:39:35.000 When you march around with guns, shutting things down, shutting down streets, smashing windows and attacking people.

00:39:41.000 I mean, maybe we shouldn't even call that a patrol.

00:39:43.000 We should call it, what, like an insurgency?

00:39:45.000 Attacking civilians in their cars.

00:39:47.000 No joke.

00:39:47.000 And there's another video right now.

00:39:49.000 We can't show this.

00:39:50.000 I think it's out of Chicago.

00:39:51.000 I'm not sure.

00:39:51.000 Was that Chicago, that video that I sent you?

00:39:53.000 Which one?

00:39:54.000 Oh, I'm not sure.

00:39:55.000 No context, sorry.

00:39:56.000 It might be New York, it might be Chicago.

00:39:58.000 There's a bunch of protesters in the streets, like they've been doing, with impunity, and a car just slams the gas.

00:40:05.000 When the car starts pulling up, we're seeing this more and more and more, the far left will go around it and start

00:40:10.000 banging on it. 0.99

00:40:11.000 And it's like, these people are nuts. 0.96

00:40:13.000 But because there's never been any real legal ramification, they're not going to stay there and keep doing it. 0.98

00:40:20.000 Well, this person in the car said, screw it, slam the gas.

00:40:23.000 And it's like, it's a shocking video.

00:40:25.000 Normally when you see these videos where they're like, a car plows through protesters, it's like an SUV going like a mile an hour and they're screaming and yelling and then it just slowly drives away.

00:40:34.000 Nah, this one was somebody hit the gas and people went boom, boom, boom.

00:40:37.000 That's what's gonna happen because you see what happens in Portland with this with this video I don't I don't think they have any Fox News show so they show a little bit I can't show too much, but we've got a tweet you can see here's the guys wearing It looks like it might be body armor.

00:40:49.000 It might be actually a tactical vest like a camelback or something I don't know for sure and they're holding they're holding some AR-15s pointing at a regular regular old guy You know, I thought I was going to predict this, but I said it was going to be far right locking down streets and telling people to F off and get out of their towns.

00:41:07.000 And that's probably stupid because we know the far left has been increasingly violent and the escalation has come from them, not conservatives or, you know, rural folk. 0.85

00:41:16.000 But so here we are. 0.98

00:41:18.000 I gotta say, I'm almost shocked that the right-wing response hasn't been more ferocious and quicker, to be honest.

00:41:27.000 And I'm thankful for that because I don't think it's going to do any good except just escalate the kind of civil war which I think any sane person would want to de-escalate.

00:41:36.000 But it's unbelievable, like, the level to which This has this has gotten and I think there's a lot of you

00:41:44.000 know, like I'm I'm I Wonder what the heck our society has done to allow some of

00:41:52.000 these young people who are out there blocking cars Antagonizing people wishing when all this but but I'm not

00:41:58.000 just blaming the people doing that I mean, obviously they're wrong for doing that

00:42:02.000 But it's like how have we and this maybe as I'm getting older and that I have kids now

00:42:07.000 I'm feeling this way where I'm like, how have we have a society failed these kids so much that this is where we're

00:42:13.000 at and And I think there's a lot to be said there.

00:42:17.000 And then also I can't believe that there's so much restraint on the other side that there aren't more people

00:42:22.000 just plowing them down Well the social pressure the social pressure on social

00:42:25.000 media, you know, they're going through their feeds and they Like these campaigns that are going on

00:42:30.000 I mean, I'm not on Instagram, but like I you know, there's all this pressure to do certain posts and like it's insane

00:42:37.000 Yeah, everybody everybody make your your post up off a blank screen onto your Instagram to show you're in line

00:42:43.000 with and if you don't But look I'm just saying like you could you can like hate

00:42:49.000 Antifa and just talk about how awful they are and I agree.

00:42:52.000 I'm not saying you're wrong to do that I mean, these are like punk kids who are being destructive

00:42:56.000 and just barbaric and it's awful But you know if you zoom out a little bit you're like wow

00:43:03.000 We really did like create a society where there are these kids where there's like no

00:43:10.000 So...

00:43:11.000 Like there's no religion in our society.

00:43:13.000 There's no values that replace that.

00:43:15.000 No discipline.

00:43:16.000 They're growing up in single mother households. 1.00

00:43:19.000 They're medicated from the time they're young.

00:43:21.000 They're pushed into these universities that don't prepare them for any type of jobs and just saddle them with all of this debt.

00:43:27.000 It's just there's nothing you can never buy.

00:43:30.000 You know you come out of imagine being one of these young kids who comes out of a university.

00:43:33.000 You've been fed this far left wing propaganda.

00:43:36.000 You're now 100 grand in debt.

00:43:38.000 Um, what prospects do you ever have to like get married, have kids and take care of a family?

00:43:43.000 You could never afford a house.

00:43:44.000 You're going to go work at Starbucks and try to pay your hundred grand.

00:43:47.000 They feel like this is their value system.

00:43:50.000 It is their value system.

00:43:51.000 That's why it's a cult.

00:43:52.000 The problem is.

00:43:54.000 Well, I'm not denying that, right?

00:43:55.000 what you said, but also consider that these are people growing up

00:43:57.000 in the wealthiest conditions in human history.

00:44:00.000 I'm not denying that.

00:44:01.000 Right. So you're right.

00:44:02.000 But look, in the 1700s, even if you are wealthy, you still

00:44:07.000 understood some hardship.

00:44:08.000 The old saying is that you, a poor person today

00:44:12.000 has better dental care than Rockefeller did in the 1900s

00:44:16.000 because technology improved things.

00:44:18.000 So if you were a rich person in the 1700s, you still needed to understand some basic things.

00:44:22.000 And so the gap between you and the poor, while what may have been dramatic for the time, is insanely different from today.

00:44:29.000 So you're absolutely right.

00:44:30.000 They're wealthier than kings were at a certain point in time, right?

00:44:34.000 But what I'm talking about is something separate from wealth.

00:44:37.000 What I'm talking about is, look, my grandfather was far poorer than any of us are today and suffered through more hardships than any of us could imagine.

00:44:46.000 I mean, he was a Jew who escaped Nazi Germany and then fought in World War Two.

00:44:50.000 I mean, just a very hard life and worked in a factory.

00:44:52.000 It's all he ever did for his life.

00:44:53.000 But with that job, he could.

00:44:56.000 He got married.

00:44:57.000 His wife, my grandmother, didn't work.

00:44:59.000 He took care of two kids, owned a house, owned two cars, played poker on the weekends like you could.

00:45:05.000 Take care of a wife and kids and have an identity and a life.

00:45:11.000 Whereas today, even though they're much richer than that, what is your chances of owning a home, getting married, paying for the cost of education, healthcare?

00:45:20.000 I'm saying there's no identity there, is my point.

00:45:23.000 You're right on the surface.

00:45:25.000 But you gotta compare the life of a family in the 40s and 50s to the life of a family today.

00:45:30.000 We have television, we have internet, we've got some of the greatest technology ever created, and we have to pay for those things that requires labor.

00:45:35.000 As the population expands, we get more specialists and more access to better technology, we still have to pay for it all.

00:45:41.000 So sure, you know, my dad, he was able to, you know, he actually worked two jobs when I was younger, and his dad before him worked a single job, you know, the greatest generation, but what did they have in their home?

00:45:51.000 Many of them didn't have TVs.

00:45:53.000 And so the kids would do chores, would go on newspaper routes, and they would be doing some kind of work.

00:46:01.000 So what's happening is we're saying, today, these kids can't even own a house.

00:46:05.000 Yes, you can.

00:46:06.000 It's called in the middle of West Virginia, and it's a $30,000 house.

00:46:09.000 You just don't want to live in it.

00:46:11.000 So, sure, there were suburban living when people didn't have the same access to utilities, when people didn't have access to the same medication.

00:46:18.000 People today say, oh, we need universal healthcare because people can't go to the doctor.

00:46:22.000 Dude, the medical care you can get on debt is a hundred times better than the medical care they were getting a hundred years ago, or a couple hundred years ago when they were injecting people with mercury or whatever for syphilis.

00:46:33.000 Nothing is stopping a person from taking their family and going and building a cabin in the middle of the woods

00:46:38.000 Except I guess for the fear eventually the federal government will wander off into the middle of Wyoming and

00:46:44.000 well I met at you about it. So so I I don't completely disagree

00:46:47.000 with you I think that the fact that we've become richer than ever before is a good thing.

00:46:53.000 And I think the fact that we have luxury goods and consumer goods for cheaper than ever before, I think it's great.

00:46:59.000 I mean, it's risen the standard of living.

00:47:01.000 I guess it's just the fact that we've also, in this process, created, through our elected politicians, this system where we've subsidized the cost of housing, subsidized the cost of education, subsidized the cost of health care, to the point that they've all been tremendously inflated.

00:47:18.000 And we've also just lost a sense of community and values, which I think also goes hand in hand with the government taking more and more of a participatory role in society.

00:47:29.000 And I think this is just Again, I'm not disagreeing with you.

00:47:31.000 It's just a cocktail that's worked out to be what we see now.

00:47:35.000 We need, uh, people need to have a return to like normalcy and understanding of the world.

00:47:41.000 What that means is...

00:47:42.000 Imagine life if you were just one day woke up in the middle of the woods, bug-naked.

00:47:49.000 Congratulations, that's life.

00:47:50.000 Everything we've built, I'm sorry, I shouldn't even say we.

00:47:53.000 Everything, every shoulder that is being stood upon by the giants is done for us.

00:47:59.000 We woke up, I was in New York one day, and I was riding my bike over the Williamsburg Bridge, and I was like, wow.

00:48:06.000 I never did anything to deserve this bridge to ride up and over this river and I had to I just imagine I'm like what it must have been like a couple of years ago when people were like waiting for the ferry they had to pay for to do it and then some people said I am going to plant this tree whose shade I know I will never sit beneath because in 50 years the children will be able to and their lives will be better.

00:48:27.000 Today People are now demanding and entitled of all of these things that were gifted to us, that we never paid for.

00:48:34.000 And so what happens is they say, I should be able to have a massive house, five bedrooms.

00:48:38.000 I should be able to only have to work, you know, a certain amount of time throughout the week, so I can have every luxury that this life can afford me.

00:48:45.000 And it's like...

00:48:46.000 Nah.

00:48:47.000 You're spoiled. 0.57

00:48:48.000 I'm sorry, but it's true.

00:48:50.000 If you had to go crash land on an island somewhere and then build a house out of coconuts or whatever, that's life.

00:48:56.000 We are living a gifted life from the people who came before us.

00:48:59.000 Yeah, you're so right.

00:49:00.000 And you know what's interesting about that is that, like, kind of what you're getting at is that this idea of, like, the philosophical idea of UBI, right?

00:49:07.000 Like, we kind of already have that.

00:49:08.000 I mean, in just a pure free market with no government giving you a UBI, you kind of already have this where just because we were born here in a first world country in 2021 and we're living, we do stand on the shoulders of all of these people.

00:49:25.000 I mean, none of us really We've earned all of this technology that we get to speak through.

00:49:31.000 I mean, you may have bought the microphones and stuff, but we didn't invent all of it.

00:49:35.000 And we have all these things like you were saying with the bridge and the trees that other people have made before us.

00:49:41.000 The bridge is a better example than the microphones, because that's something you can just use without paying for.

00:49:46.000 Well, sure, but I'm just saying that even if you pay for this, someone else invented it, and we all benefit from the fact that other minds put in all of this labor to make all of this happen, and just the fact that we have this level of wealth around us.

00:49:57.000 I mean, we could be the exact same people born in some third world country or on some desert island, and we don't get any of that.

00:50:03.000 So that is our UBI.

00:50:05.000 But to your other point about that, which I think is the real – it's almost like

00:50:09.000 the contradiction of the human experience is that even though there's this kind of

00:50:13.000 selfish impulse to go, well, no, we don't care about passing it on to the next generation,

00:50:19.000 and you go like, well, look, all of this was passed on to you, so don't you have some

00:50:22.000 obligation to pass it on to the next generation?

00:50:25.000 But I'll tell you this, after having kids it really opened my eyes up to this, that it's actually a much more rewarding existence.

00:50:33.000 You will be a much happier person when you are focused on passing something on to the next generation.

00:50:39.000 That's like the beauty of life.

00:50:41.000 That when you're living for others and thinking about what's been given to you and what you can give on to the next generation, that's when you don't want to go block a car in the street and throw a Molotov cocktail through the window.

00:50:52.000 Because you've got something kind of bigger to live for.

00:50:54.000 They don't have kids.

00:50:55.000 Well, that's what I'm saying.

00:50:57.000 So you can be a person of empathy and community without having kids.

00:51:01.000 Sure.

00:51:03.000 So we as a society... But it helps.

00:51:06.000 It absolutely does.

00:51:07.000 It throws it in your face.

00:51:08.000 But so you have people who don't have family, don't have community.

00:51:12.000 They create these nebulous online communities of disparate beliefs that make no sense.

00:51:17.000 And then they're angry that they're not getting what they think they deserve.

00:51:22.000 They're not working.

00:51:23.000 They don't want to work.

00:51:24.000 They want to make the government pay for it, extract the wealth out of the system to give

00:51:27.000 to them, and they will get violent.

00:51:29.000 This is, it is, what's the right way to describe it?

00:51:33.000 It is, um... Blasphemy?

00:51:35.000 It's a chaotic, destructive force.

00:51:35.000 No, no, no, no.

00:51:38.000 Jealousy.

00:51:38.000 Like fire.

00:51:39.000 That is burning at the foundation.

00:51:40.000 It's a rot at the foundation of our society of people who think they're entitled to things but won't work for things.

00:51:46.000 What's happening?

00:51:47.000 And it's corrupting the foundations.

00:51:49.000 And if we don't do something about it?

00:51:51.000 They think they're helping by not having kids.

00:51:55.000 That's what their argument is because they think, you know, we're overpopulated.

00:51:58.000 I don't think that's true.

00:51:59.000 There's a lot of people who think that.

00:52:00.000 But that's a rationalization, I think.

00:52:04.000 Exactly.

00:52:04.000 So what I think is actually happening is they're extremely selfish.

00:52:08.000 They want everyone to give to them.

00:52:10.000 They don't understand what it means to give back.

00:52:13.000 And so, as you mentioned, it's a rationalization.

00:52:15.000 Oh, well, I'm doing this because, you know, Bad for the planet.

00:52:20.000 Okay.

00:52:20.000 You know, I think a lot of it is wealth disparity because we are super wealthy, all of us, but the disparity is greater than it's ever been.

00:52:26.000 And if you've ever been poor in a room with a bunch of rich people and like, you're having a great day, everyone's having a great time.

00:52:32.000 You're all equals. 0.99

00:52:32.000 Then all of a sudden you're like, I got to go do some crap job I hate. 0.99

00:52:35.000 And they're all like, I don't. 0.85

00:52:36.000 Cause I, my dad was rich and I, I don't ever have to do anything.

00:52:40.000 And the anger that you feel.

00:52:41.000 Well, I don't follow.

00:52:42.000 I've never felt that.

00:52:42.000 Have you felt that?

00:52:43.000 See, that's probably the anti-commentality.

00:52:44.000 I've never felt that.

00:52:45.000 I've felt like, why do I have to be the one that has to go work a low paying job because

00:52:50.000 my parents weren't rich when my friends don't have to work?

00:52:53.000 That's probably the answer.

00:52:54.000 And they all drive around in cars.

00:52:55.000 Exactly.

00:52:56.000 And exactly because I didn't have that.

00:52:58.000 So I grew up.

00:52:59.000 Someone mentioned earlier, take a shot if Tim mentioned South Side of Chicago.

00:53:03.000 You just did.

00:53:03.000 Now's your chance.

00:53:05.000 And so a lot of crackheads, a lot of heroin addicts, a lot of poor people.

00:53:09.000 And then I started, you know, playing music, which, you know, I went around to different venues, met different people in different areas, eventually met a bunch of rich kids.

00:53:17.000 And I never cared.

00:53:19.000 I don't care about what that person is doing.

00:53:19.000 I don't care.

00:53:21.000 It's a waste of my time to sit there and be like, why do they have money?

00:53:24.000 I was like, yeah, their parents are rich, whatever.

00:53:26.000 I'm gonna focus on doing my thing, but you know what?

00:53:28.000 Maybe I'm lucky enough to be grounded in reality.

00:53:32.000 To understand something really simple.

00:53:34.000 Anybody listening, here's what you do.

00:53:36.000 If you're in a big city, even today, stand in a street corner and say cheeseburger.

00:53:41.000 And look people in the eyes, cheeseburger?

00:53:43.000 Cheeseburger?

00:53:44.000 Eventually someone will come back and be like, I got you cheeseburger, buddy.

00:53:47.000 It will work.

00:53:47.000 I'm not kidding.

00:53:49.000 I'm dead serious.

00:53:51.000 You can go to any major city because people tend to be good and want to help, and you can say to any random person, can I buy a cheeseburger?

00:54:00.000 But hold on.

00:54:01.000 You're right.

00:54:02.000 Go to Sub-Saharan Africa. 0.86

00:54:04.000 Go to the Middle East. 0.95

00:54:05.000 Go to Egypt. 0.85

00:54:06.000 And see what happens if you sit there and beg for this stuff.

00:54:08.000 People are going to be like, is that a joke?

00:54:10.000 Yeah.

00:54:11.000 A lot of countries will help you out, for sure.

00:54:12.000 I think the essence of the point you're making, which is absolutely right, is that our crisis is not a true crisis of real poverty.

00:54:21.000 That's not the issue.

00:54:22.000 Exactly.

00:54:23.000 Even our poor people, our rich people... Our homeless people. 0.99

00:54:25.000 homeless people are fat bro. 0.93

00:54:27.000 Compare to other societies that have existed. 0.95

00:54:29.000 So that's not the problem.

00:54:30.000 And again, maybe this is just like the way I look at things since being a father.

00:54:37.000 But when I look at somebody who's out on the streets, like one of these Antifa members,

00:54:42.000 who's this little punk kid who's dressed in all black.

00:54:45.000 Some of them are in their forties bro.

00:54:48.000 But he's still a punk kid in his forties who will, you know, like, you know, the way they fight where it's not even like someone like, like, there's no honor and even being like, like, why don't we take this outside and fight? 0.68

00:54:59.000 It's like they'll go talk shit and then someone stands up to them and they run away and then they look at the other guy and then they sucker punch him behind them and then they all pound on him when he's down. 0.87

00:55:06.000 I go, I look at that and go, who Who raised you? 0.99

00:55:10.000 Nobody.

00:55:13.000 And who were your parents who were responsible for instilling something into you?

00:55:18.000 The Federal Reserve.

00:55:20.000 Well, that's part of it, but there were real human beings who made this human being.

00:55:25.000 And I'm just saying that we lost... It's not an issue of poverty.

00:55:29.000 It's something different than that.

00:55:30.000 It's like the soul of the culture.

00:55:33.000 We lost this thing that you... Honor.

00:55:36.000 Yes, honor and some type of social pressure to raise your damn children. 1.00

00:55:42.000 I was thinking about this the other day. 1.00

00:55:46.000 Scruples are gone.

00:55:48.000 People used to genuinely feel remorse if they stole or lied to somebody.

00:55:57.000 Maybe I'm romanticizing the past.

00:55:59.000 But community used to be like, I can't do that.

00:56:02.000 Well, because you can't do it.

00:56:02.000 Why?

00:56:04.000 You know, it's just like deep within your soul, you feel something you can't do.

00:56:07.000 Scribbles.

00:56:08.000 Now it's like people are like, oh, I'll lie to whoever to get whatever I want.

00:56:12.000 The moral foundation is being shattered.

00:56:13.000 Did you see, uh, I saw someone was sharing this clip, like an old Alex Jones clip on Twitter today where he's, you know, it's like a classic Alex Jones clip where he's screaming like a maniac.

00:56:23.000 But if you listen to what he's saying, he's actually making a pretty good point.

00:56:26.000 Which is like 90% of Alex Jones.

00:56:29.000 You're like, man, if you were just not yelling at me, I'd agree.

00:56:34.000 It was old.

00:56:34.000 It was like, it must have been like 15 years old, but he's talking about how he's like,

00:56:37.000 the kids are worshiping Justin Bieber.

00:56:39.000 Yes, I saw that.

00:56:40.000 And they're worshiping, you know, and he goes, what about Magellan?

00:56:44.000 Magellan sailed around the world.

00:56:46.000 That is amazing.

00:56:48.000 He's screaming at you, but you're kind of like, I mean, he's making a good point.

00:56:51.000 Wait, wait, my favorite.

00:56:52.000 He's like, there were 200 men on that ship and only 11 made it.

00:56:55.000 Calm down.

00:56:56.000 Like, dude, if you weren't pulling your hair out of your head, like I'd say you're making

00:57:02.000 a very logical point.

00:57:03.000 But there's part of this, right?

00:57:05.000 There was no tradition and honor and upbringing for children.

00:57:11.000 And I'm just saying that I think a lot of times today, at least I get this a lot, that if you address any of these issues, People say, they go, oh, you're like some social conservative right winger or something like this. 0.97

00:57:23.000 And then the implication is almost one step away from like, well, you must hate gay people or hate trans people or hate black people or something like that. 0.98

00:57:31.000 But we're not allowed to ever just go, and I feel this a lot more these days, but you just go like, you know, you go on Instagram and see all the like, you know, every girl's like in a thong and you're like, these values suck. 0.99

00:57:44.000 This sucks as a culture to raise a daughter in. 0.96

00:57:47.000 This is not good. 0.99

00:57:49.000 Before we move too far, I have to make one point on your Alex Jones thing.

00:57:53.000 You remember when he was talking about turning the frogs gay?

00:57:55.000 That's probably the most famous Alex Jones meme. 0.99

00:57:58.000 He's yelling and he's like, they're turning the freaking frogs gay! 0.99

00:58:00.000 And he like, you know, pounds. 0.99

00:58:02.000 Imagine if instead of that, you had Alex.

00:58:05.000 But no one had ever seen him before, right?

00:58:07.000 It's the first time he'd ever appeared.

00:58:08.000 He's wearing a, you know, like a tweed sweater or something or whatever.

00:58:13.000 He's got like leather patches, and he's got a corncob pipe, and he's wearing glasses, and he goes, Now, an interesting study came out about atrazine.

00:58:19.000 It's a pesticide.

00:58:20.000 And he's talking to other, you know, glasses individuals, and he goes, The interesting thing about this atrazine is that it's disrupting the endocrine systems of amphibians, notably frogs.

00:58:29.000 In many of these regions now on the coasts, you can see that it's draining off into the oceans, having less of an impact on groundwater.

00:58:34.000 But in the Middle East, it's a very serious problem. 0.88

00:58:36.000 Dare I say, jokingly, they're turning the frogs gay now. 1.00

00:58:39.000 No, but in all seriousness, there would never be a meme. 0.98

00:58:43.000 It was Alex Jones yelling and slamming, they're turning the frogs gay. 1.00

00:58:46.000 That's the Trump phenomenon, right? 0.95

00:58:47.000 Like when everyone would be like, man, if he just didn't, if he wasn't so brash and he didn't do all this, then maybe he could have gotten this done.

00:58:55.000 And you're like, no, he'd never be there.

00:58:56.000 Right.

00:58:57.000 That's the whole thing, right?

00:58:58.000 That's the contradiction is he'd never be there if he hadn't.

00:58:58.000 Yeah.

00:59:01.000 The reason Trump was president is because he was the guy who was willing to look at Jeb Bush and go, your brother lied us into war and basically wink, wink, nod, nod.

00:59:13.000 You can't pleasure your wife. 0.97

00:59:15.000 What do you think low energy was really saying?

00:59:21.000 He kept going, Jeb Bush, you're low energy.

00:59:24.000 What was the real implication of that?

00:59:26.000 Yeah, but he wasn't wrong.

00:59:27.000 Please clap.

00:59:29.000 He clearly wasn't.

00:59:30.000 That's why he won, because he was clearly dead right. 0.97

00:59:32.000 And then even he could look at Hillary Clinton and go, yeah, nasty woman and all these things. 1.00

00:59:37.000 And that's part of why he won. 0.92

00:59:39.000 But it was also his downfall.

00:59:41.000 So that's the thing with Alex Jones, right?

00:59:43.000 But there is something, there's a really important principle there.

00:59:47.000 And from my perspective, and maybe this is my own libertarian bias, but I really do think That the government, the rise of the welfare state, the rise of big government in America, that they undermined all the bonds that used to hold people together, right?

01:00:05.000 So instead of the welfare state, you would have communities, you would have churches, you would have neighborhoods, all of these bonds.

01:00:11.000 And that as the state got more and more powerful, they destroyed all of these bonds intentionally, in the same way that the communists hate religion, because they hate anything that's a unifying force more powerful than the state.

01:00:23.000 So to me, this is what destroyed our call. I've been I've been talking about abolishing the police now for the past

01:00:27.000 Yeah, I guess a couple of months but and Michael Malice has been cheering for it on Twitter, but it's not for the same

01:00:33.000 reason For the most part, you know, so Michael said when we had

01:00:37.000 Alex Johns on the show He said that it's his constitutional right to keep in bear

01:00:41.000 arms to defend himself Mm-hmm

01:00:43.000 And every single cop in New York City would arrest him if he tried to uphold his own rights

01:00:47.000 And that's why he said every single cop was was bad and Alex was like no you can't say that that's wrong

01:00:51.000 And only Michael Malice can make Alex Jones the moderate Right, right, right.

01:00:56.000 But so I actually do think we need police.

01:00:59.000 The problem is they shouldn't be following unconstitutional orders, enforcing illegal laws or taking illegal action.

01:01:06.000 But now the main reason, because I've had people message me saying, Tim, you're wrong about abolishing the police.

01:01:10.000 Well, hold on.

01:01:11.000 Have you been paying attention to what's going on?

01:01:13.000 What story did we just cover, just in the last segment?

01:01:16.000 Portland Antifa, in blackout gear, which they've been doing the whole time, now with rifles, stopping vehicles, smashing out their windows, attacking pedestrians and regular folk, and when a guy tries to get through and draws on them, because they drew on him already, they knock him down, they take his gun, where are the cops?

01:01:32.000 The cops can't stop Antifa.

01:01:34.000 In Portland, the majority of people who were arrested, even on felony charges, even people who confessed to attacking cops, had their charges dropped.

01:01:44.000 But guess what?

01:01:45.000 The FBI is hunting down each and every single conservative.

01:01:47.000 In New York City, when the Proud Boys fought Antifa, those Proud Boys are now in prison.

01:01:52.000 The system is broken.

01:01:53.000 It's corrupted.

01:01:54.000 We are watching all of this happen every day.

01:01:57.000 And the cops may be neutral arbiters, but it's a sorting algorithm where they are funneling

01:02:02.000 people on left and right into a justice system that is only punishing the right and moderates

01:02:07.000 and those who are standing up for small businesses.

01:02:10.000 I assure you, if you live in the Portland area and these groups with guns come out,

01:02:17.000 If you even try to defend yourself, you will get locked up.

01:02:20.000 We've already seen it happen.

01:02:22.000 One guy who drew on these Black Lives Matter protesters, he got charged.

01:02:26.000 I think he got a felony or something.

01:02:27.000 He got a felony charge.

01:02:29.000 And he was legally bearing his arm, which is allowed to do. 0.98

01:02:31.000 And there was a group, a raucous group, which is known to have been violent in protest.

01:02:36.000 And he drew on them.

01:02:37.000 You could argue the whole thing all day and night, but a felony charge?

01:02:40.000 So here's what's gonna happen.

01:02:41.000 Conservatives have consistently defended the cops, and I understand why.

01:02:45.000 Because cops do a tough job.

01:02:47.000 But then we started seeing cops shut down small businesses, arrest small business owners, and then conservatives start saying, nah, I'm done with this, and throwing the thin blue line flag in the dirt and stomping on it.

01:02:56.000 Now it's starting to come back to defending cops again, and I'm like, do you realize You're the target.

01:03:01.000 In New York City, it's like, what, 20% conservative?

01:03:04.000 It's like very, very few conservatives.

01:03:07.000 When Antifa goes around smashing up windows, these people aren't going to go to jail.

01:03:10.000 When you go and in any way defend yourself or defy these restrictions, they will lock you up in two seconds.

01:03:16.000 It was the funniest thing when that salon owner in Texas, I think it was, she got arrested for opening her salon while they were letting the criminals out of the jail. 0.55

01:03:24.000 They were saying, we can't have criminals in jail because of COVID.

01:03:26.000 But she can.

01:03:27.000 And they were saying it was dangerous for COVID to open your salon, but we will take you and put you in jail where there's this massive COVID outbreak and we're letting people out.

01:03:38.000 And that's inhumane to put someone into a pandemic situation.

01:03:41.000 Absolutely.

01:03:42.000 Yeah.

01:03:43.000 Well, I mean, it's inhumane to put a human being in a cage for the crime of opening their

01:03:46.000 business period, but particularly in a pandemic.

01:03:48.000 While letting the criminals out.

01:03:50.000 Have you heard the term anarcho-tyranny before?

01:03:53.000 Because that's what this is describing.

01:03:54.000 So the idea of anarcho-tyranny is the idea that you have the worst of both worlds, right?

01:03:58.000 Right.

01:03:59.000 You have the worst of anarchism and the worst of tyranny.

01:04:01.000 So there are incredibly rigid rules that you will be just destroyed for violating.

01:04:08.000 I mean, if you get something wrong on your tax form, you will go to jail for this.

01:04:13.000 If you do what you know, there's all of these different laws that you can be busted for

01:04:16.000 for any different number of felonies that you don't even know about.

01:04:20.000 Like we all commit like five felonies a day without even knowing it.

01:04:23.000 Right.

01:04:24.000 But then at the same sense, there's the worst sense of anarchy for people. 0.96

01:04:27.000 So you get your car stolen and a cop comes up to you and goes, well, that sure does suck.

01:04:32.000 I can fill out a form and then we'll see you later.

01:04:35.000 But if you defend yourself with a weapon, then you're going to go to jail.

01:04:39.000 And that's what we're seeing more and more.

01:04:40.000 Right.

01:04:41.000 We're seeing the fact that this has been going on in San Francisco and Los Angeles and all

01:04:45.000 these places where.

01:04:46.000 If someone comes in and steals from your store, we're not really going to prosecute them.

01:04:51.000 But if you pull a gun on them while they're stealing from their store, you might go to jail for a decade.

01:04:55.000 So this is the world that we're living in more and more now.

01:04:58.000 And I think that conservatives are starting to realize that they are the enemy group.

01:05:06.000 So for you to be defending the enforcers of the state, which let's get real, that's what cops are.

01:05:13.000 For you to be defending them when you're the enemy group is, to borrow a word that some on the right like to use, the ultimate in cuckoo tree.

01:05:24.000 We're at a point now where we've been watching this for a year.

01:05:29.000 The salon owner.

01:05:30.000 They open the jails and release the criminals and then put the small business owner in the jail.

01:05:36.000 I mean, that's tyranny.

01:05:37.000 So I made that point.

01:05:39.000 If this continues, conservatives will be less able to vote because they're being charged with felonies.

01:05:44.000 Not even conservatives, like moderates who defend themselves are going to get felony charges.

01:05:48.000 Can't vote, sorry.

01:05:49.000 I mean, the left might actually give them their right to vote back.

01:05:49.000 In many states.

01:05:52.000 In a long enough period of time, it will just detriment the right and it will scare everyone into being, clearly we don't want to be with whatever that is.

01:05:59.000 I'll just do what the left says.

01:06:01.000 But hold on.

01:06:02.000 What if at this point we said, all right, how about this?

01:06:04.000 No cops.

01:06:05.000 Then what happens?

01:06:06.000 Well, you can keep in bare arms now, you can defend yourself, and you can defend yourself.

01:06:13.000 Oh, this would be cleaned up in a second.

01:06:16.000 Believe me, all these riots, you don't need Trump to send in the federal goons or anything like that.

01:06:22.000 If you just said, all it takes, and there were a couple local sheriffs who did this during the riots and basically cleaned up their whole town.

01:06:29.000 Yeah, if you just said, hey, guess what?

01:06:31.000 We believe in the Second Amendment here, and if you go, and if there was actually the state behind you on this, and you said, if you go and violate someone's private property, and they have a gun, we are not prosecuting them for defending themselves.

01:06:45.000 This thing would be cleaned up.

01:06:46.000 But by the way, can I just make one more point to what you were saying before?

01:06:49.000 What were the few exceptions for the people who were actually prosecuted?

01:06:53.000 During all the government buildings that were that were attacked, right?

01:06:57.000 So what is the clear message from the government there? How disgusting is this stay away from our property?

01:07:04.000 You go ahead and you vandalize any of the private property you want to you go terrorize a shoe store owner go terrorize

01:07:11.000 a bodega No problem can serve it away from the statehouse and you'll

01:07:14.000 be just conservatives got to get on board with Abolishing the police and not every single instance small

01:07:20.000 towns are probably fine But on the best example is in Milwaukee when black lives 1.00

01:07:24.000 matter. I think it was Milwaukee They showed up to a guy's house, right? Mm-hmm. They were

01:07:27.000 protesting in front of his house One of the guys who organized this had previously been to another mob gathering that set fire to someone's home.

01:07:36.000 So all these people are outside screaming.

01:07:38.000 This guy pulls up his shotgun and points it out the window.

01:07:41.000 The window is closed, but he points it, you know, visibly at the window.

01:07:43.000 When the police show up, Black Lives Matter is clapping and cheering and celebrating as the cops go into this man's home and arrest him.

01:07:50.000 Well, for what?

01:07:51.000 Now, maybe you shouldn't have pointed the gun directly at them, but, like I said, the guy who organized this had previously organized another rally where they set fire to a woman's home.

01:08:00.000 Twice! 0.99

01:08:01.000 Cops came out, put it out, they set fire to it again.

01:08:03.000 So this guy's like, I'm gonna show them I'm armed, and you can make an argument whether he should or shouldn't have done that.

01:08:08.000 I believe people have a right to keep and bear arms, and if you're on your property and people are encroaching on your property and threatening you, he didn't even fire a shot, it was a warning.

01:08:16.000 But here's the point.

01:08:18.000 The cops gleefully arrested him.

01:08:21.000 The worst point?

01:08:22.000 Black Lives Matter celebrated.

01:08:23.000 You know what that means?

01:08:25.000 You think people have been saying they want to abolish the police so they can federalize it.

01:08:30.000 They want to abolish the police to get their woke enforcers in. 0.99

01:08:32.000 They don't really want to abolish the police.

01:08:34.000 They want to exert pressure until the police start doing whatever they want out of fear of losing their jobs.

01:08:38.000 Yeah, well why do you think they did such a 180 on abolish the police?

01:08:42.000 I mean, as soon as the implications of that started coming out, they were like, well, abolish the police doesn't really mean abolish or defund the police doesn't really mean it.

01:08:48.000 But that's the Democrats.

01:08:49.000 No, what I mean is the left comes out and says, abolish the police!

01:08:52.000 And the cop goes, I don't want to lose my job.

01:08:54.000 Well, then you better arrest the conservative.

01:08:56.000 Anything you say, please.

01:08:56.000 You got it.

01:08:58.000 I'm begging you, please.

01:08:59.000 Well, look, I mean, if you're somebody who's if you are a right winger or a conservative, Just think through the implications of actually defunding the police and what that would mean.

01:09:10.000 Well, it's like you said, nobody's going to arrest you for any type of gun violation, so gun rights are now absolute. 0.97

01:09:18.000 They're not going to be able to enforce these stupid regulations on your business. 0.97

01:09:22.000 Who's going to be the tax collectors? 1.00

01:09:24.000 Who's going to do all of this?

01:09:25.000 It actually leads to a much smaller government world.

01:09:29.000 Which would be a much better situation.

01:09:31.000 And take personal responsibility.

01:09:33.000 And also, I will say this too, it also takes away what are some of the legitimate criticisms of people on the left, which I'm not saying is like the violent rioters, but there are some people on the left who make a legitimate point that there are cops who go around and harass people in these high crime neighborhoods.

01:09:50.000 Now, I'm not saying that there aren't legitimate criminals in those neighborhoods who deserve to be harassed, but there's also, let's get real, There's a lot of kids who walk around who just look like 0.77

01:10:00.000 the suspect that they're trying to go after in these neighborhoods who get harassed.

01:10:03.000 And let them also not be harassed anymore.

01:10:07.000 Also the whole war on guns, like all the whole gun control regime, I mean the real victims

01:10:14.000 of it, not saying it's the exclusive victims, but the most likely victims of it are people

01:10:15.000 not saying it's the exclusive victims, but the most likely victims of it are people who

01:10:21.000 who live in these high crime neighborhoods who are minorities for the most part, who

01:10:21.000 live in these high crime neighborhoods who are minorities for the most part, who have

01:10:26.000 have guns usually to protect themselves.

01:10:26.000 guns usually to protect themselves.

01:10:28.000 And they get charged with thugs.

01:10:29.000 And they get charged. 0.93

01:10:30.000 We got guys, we have tons of people in this country, disproportionately black and brown

01:10:36.000 people who are sitting in cages for decades for the crime of owning a gun.

01:10:43.000 Not doing anything to anyone with that gun, just having a gun.

01:10:47.000 The prohibition on guns has been just as disastrous as the prohibition on drugs.

01:10:52.000 And we should end all of them.

01:10:54.000 I think the party of personal responsibility should start taking more of it.

01:10:59.000 Because you know, look, I get it.

01:11:00.000 Maybe there's this vision of like an old timey era when Officer Friendly was there to protect your community.

01:11:06.000 Now we're at a point where the justice system is basically corrupted. 0.86

01:11:10.000 Extremely wealthy leftists started funding district attorneys races, putting in far-left DAs, people like Kim Foxx, after Jussie Smollett's whole ridiculous, you know, MAGA country garbage, Kim Foxx lets him go. 0.82

01:11:23.000 This guy. 0.90

01:11:26.000 It was so obvious.

01:11:27.000 This is what happens.

01:11:27.000 The justice system is completely corrupt.

01:11:29.000 But I gotta stress, man, the Proud Boys in New York City, four years in prison, Yeah.

01:11:35.000 If the Proud Boys want to get in a fight with Antifa because Antifa has been threatening and harassing them, then maybe you don't want police to be there to arrest you and put you in prison afterwards when you decide that you are going to confront the problem in the way you think is appropriate.

01:11:49.000 Now look, I don't think fighting is appropriate.

01:11:51.000 I don't think anybody should be fighting Antifa or the Proud Boys.

01:11:53.000 But if Antifa wants to show up to someone's event and instigate fights, Okay then, there's a thing called mutual combat. 0.91

01:12:00.000 Okay, maybe that's what we need.

01:12:02.000 The problem is, in New York, you can't have guns, you can't protect yourself.

01:12:05.000 If you even consider it, they will lock you up.

01:12:09.000 The problem is that, the way I described it recently is, imagine you're at a blackjack table at a casino, and it's a right-wing guy and the left-wing guy.

01:12:18.000 The left-wing guy is counting cards, and you're sitting there going like, he keeps winning!

01:12:23.000 He's winning like, look how much money he's got, I keep losing!

01:12:26.000 Because the house always wins.

01:12:27.000 The dealer isn't playing favorites.

01:12:30.000 It's just that they're gaming the system and the house is gaming you.

01:12:34.000 That's where we're currently at with conservatives defending cops.

01:12:37.000 They're going to keep going after small businesses. 0.72

01:12:39.000 Antifa is going to walk around the street with rifles.

01:12:42.000 Now, hold on.

01:12:43.000 They're allowed to do that.

01:12:44.000 You can walk around with a gun.

01:12:45.000 Constitutional right.

01:12:46.000 Keeping bare arms.

01:12:47.000 But they smash out windows, they attack pedestrians, and then draw down on some dude

01:12:51.000 who's driving his truck through the area.

01:12:53.000 Guess when...

01:12:54.000 Guess when police first started in America.

01:12:54.000 No charges.

01:12:57.000 It was the late 1600s, early 1700s.

01:13:00.000 Yeah, 1636, so it was like night watch groups that would report to like a constable.

01:13:06.000 Well, it was initially, we had local militias.

01:13:09.000 Some states, I think there were like two states, set up slave patrols.

01:13:12.000 From that, the left has tried arguing that the origin of all police was slave patrols.

01:13:16.000 The idea of centralized law enforcement was actually imported from some European countries.

01:13:20.000 I think it was like Amsterdam or something.

01:13:21.000 And so eventually, people started saying, maybe instead of having these ever-escalating conflicts between neighbors and the militia, we just create neutral arbiters who will come down, make the arrest, and the courts can deal with it.

01:13:33.000 We're at a point now where I think that's a great idea.

01:13:36.000 However, in these blue states, people don't care about your rights and believe they have a right to vote away your rights.

01:13:43.000 So they'll say, like, I don't care what the Second Amendment says.

01:13:45.000 I think we can just decree your right doesn't exist.

01:13:48.000 The Constitution was supposed to stop that.

01:13:49.000 Apparently, it doesn't.

01:13:50.000 Now you have conservatives who live in these places who are surrounded by cops who would gladly enforce illegal actions like Bill de Blasio's ridiculous painting or arrest you for exercising your God-given rights.

01:14:03.000 The state doesn't give them to you.

01:14:05.000 The government doesn't.

01:14:06.000 God did.

01:14:06.000 That's in the Constitution.

01:14:07.000 The thing that's so infuriating to me is that we've watched, let's just say, just in the 21st century, not going back, you know, the whole history of policing, but just in the 21st century, I mean, we have the most militarized police force in the world.

01:14:23.000 What does that mean though?

01:14:24.000 Well, I'm just saying there's really nothing.

01:14:26.000 There's really no country out there that has as many SWAT units, has as much military gear and their police officers.

01:14:32.000 When I say this, I mean... But is that because we're a big country?

01:14:35.000 I don't think that's a fair statement.

01:14:37.000 No, I mean, I think even per capita, even our Department of Education has a SWAT team.

01:14:42.000 The EPA...

01:14:43.000 team. I mean we have a police force, look it up I promise you, we have a police force that's just

01:14:43.000 What?

01:14:43.000 No way!

01:14:50.000 unlike anything else. The NYPD I think is in the top 20 biggest armies in the world. It's not just

01:14:56.000 that we're a big country, I mean there's a lot more to it than that. And a lot of it was built up.

01:15:01.000 He's right. The Department of Education has a SWAT team.

01:15:03.000 No, the Department of Education.

01:15:03.000 Oh, yeah.

01:15:05.000 All right, you got me there.

01:15:06.000 That's a weird one.

01:15:07.000 So I'm saying, like, and we have all of this.

01:15:09.000 And if it was ever justified, you'd be like, well, when there's mass riots, this militarized police will make sure to stop it.

01:15:16.000 And then when there are the mass riots, they do nothing.

01:15:18.000 And then, I mean, what is it?

01:15:19.000 I think we have 50,000 SWAT raids on average a year or something like that.

01:15:24.000 I mean, it's something crazy.

01:15:25.000 And you'll have SWAT raids over, like, alleged drug possession.

01:15:31.000 Sometimes they get the wrong house and just shoot your dog or whatever.

01:15:34.000 They've shot kids before.

01:15:35.000 It's like SWAT raid.

01:15:37.000 You know, if you were to think about it in theory and we were just talking about it, like, when is it appropriate to have a SWAT raid?

01:15:42.000 You'd probably be like, I don't know, like a hostage situation when someone's about to kill someone else.

01:15:46.000 Maybe not.

01:15:47.000 It's like, I think he's got a no-no plant in his drawer.

01:15:50.000 And so we have this.

01:15:52.000 This is what I mean by the anarcho-tyranny.

01:15:54.000 We have the worst of the police state.

01:15:55.000 Certainly go after the former president's lawyer.

01:15:58.000 Exactly.

01:15:58.000 Right, right.

01:15:59.000 Or Roger Stone or something like that.

01:16:01.000 So we have the worst of a police state without any of even the benefits of it.

01:16:05.000 Like, they'll protect your property if there's a riot.

01:16:08.000 So, I mean, you know.

01:16:09.000 Do you remember the story?

01:16:10.000 There was some guy, I can't remember exactly what it was, so maybe I'm getting a little bit wrong.

01:16:13.000 Fact check me on this one.

01:16:14.000 He put grow lamps in a house.

01:16:16.000 He, like, rented a house. 1.00

01:16:17.000 He put grow lamps in it with, like, ficus or some stupid house plant. 0.99

01:16:21.000 Because they were detecting the energy consumption. 1.00

01:16:21.000 Wow. 1.00

01:16:23.000 waited and then a SWAT team raided the house and he was like what are you doing

01:16:28.000 in my like what's going on they jump out with cameras they're filming all the

01:16:30.000 cops and they're like what are you doing and they apparently tried using grow

01:16:33.000 lamps as justification that they were doing a drug raid because they I mean

01:16:37.000 they were detecting the energy consumption yeah they could see the

01:16:40.000 energy consumption and so they made an assumption about what's going on in the

01:16:42.000 house and I bet you none of those cops went to jail No, but the guy, like, put it on the internet, and he was like... Yeah, sure, and embarrassed them, but, you know, if we had any type of, like, just society going here, wouldn't you be like, well, okay, I mean, you just committed a crime, right?

01:16:55.000 You broke into somebody's house.

01:16:56.000 Like, any of us would go to jail if we did that, but they don't.

01:17:00.000 So, and the other thing that I gotta say is that, you know, I understand, and I agree with a lot of what you're saying, like, and there is, like, a lot of these left-wing, you know, cities and states do have these problems.

01:17:13.000 But I gotta say, I find something not maybe kind of funny in a dark way, but certainly ironic That now Joe Biden is turning the war on terror inward and the target is right-wingers.

01:17:26.000 And even Liz Cheney is like championing this. 0.96

01:17:29.000 And I guess I'm just old enough to remember that it was the right-wingers who supported George W. Bush who championed this whole war on terror beginning.

01:17:39.000 I'm not talking about just the Republican Party or the ones who went over to the Democratic Party.

01:17:42.000 I'm not just talking about... He's a Democrat now.

01:17:44.000 I'm not... Yeah, he's an arms dealer.

01:17:45.000 The Republican Party is not on board with that. Liz Cheney is being voted out.

01:17:49.000 I'm not talking about just the Republican Party or the ones who went over to the Democratic Party.

01:17:54.000 I'm saying that right-wingers in America voted for Dick Cheney and George W. Bush,

01:18:01.000 and they mocked... I'm not saying all of them, but a large enough percentage of them...

01:18:05.000 No, no, no. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Bro, that's 20 years ago.

01:18:08.000 Right!

01:18:08.000 And now the chickens have come home to roost.

01:18:10.000 No, you're talking about 38-year-olds who didn't vote for that, who are now finding themselves conservatives or Republican, being like— That's right.

01:18:19.000 They are paying for the sins of the right-wingers who came before them.

01:18:22.000 Absolutely.

01:18:23.000 Absolutely.

01:18:23.000 Who, you know, really ruined the— Yes, a 25-year-old right-winger has no responsibility for that.

01:18:28.000 We're talking about standing on the shoulders of giants and reaping all these benefits.

01:18:31.000 I don't care if it's Democrat or Republican.

01:18:33.000 We're paying for the penalties of their failures going back.

01:18:35.000 So much of the problems with this country, and don't get me wrong, I think you can go back to Woodrow Wilson and pretty much blame everything on him.

01:18:43.000 All of it.

01:18:43.000 I mean, yes.

01:18:45.000 And I believe that.

01:18:46.000 It's all Woodrow Wilson's fault.

01:18:48.000 He was really bad.

01:18:49.000 It's all Woodrow Wilson's fault.

01:18:50.000 Everything.

01:18:50.000 He signed the Federal Reserve Act.

01:18:52.000 Yes.

01:18:52.000 He created the Federal Reserve, the income tax, got us into World War I, basically created the FBI as we know it.

01:18:58.000 It's all his fault.

01:19:00.000 If you want to focus on the 21st century, the first eight years of it were under George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, and they blew the entire beginning of this century.

01:19:11.000 And we are really suffering under those ramifications now.

01:19:16.000 And so now it's taken on this new kind of woke Flavor.

01:19:22.000 But many times it's the same corporate interests, the same military industrial complex interests behind it.

01:19:28.000 It's just the new justification is wokeism.

01:19:30.000 Like now we have to stay in Afghanistan for feminism or something. 1.00

01:19:34.000 You know, it's not it's not because we have to hunt down bin Laden anymore, but it's the same policy and the same companies profiting and like kind of all the same thing.

01:19:42.000 But I'm just saying I remember when the right wing had the culture and they kind of did set us on the course.

01:19:48.000 The establishment lost control with Trump.

01:19:51.000 The Democrats were able to ward, to keep Bernie Sanders out, to co-opt him and, you know, make him just shuffle the leftists into the Democratic coalition.

01:20:01.000 But on the right, Trump was the raging bull and they couldn't control him, they lost control.

01:20:06.000 So these establishment, Republican, I don't want to call them conservatives, and neocons, become Democrats effectively.

01:20:12.000 They start supporting of the Democrats do now you have people like Kinzinger and Liz Cheney who want the war on

01:20:17.000 terror to focus on The deviant right-wing Americans. Yes, that's right

01:20:22.000 They this what they want is the neo-conservative right to be the right in this country and the neolib to be the left

01:20:29.000 in this country Bernie Sanders was weak and they easily shut him down and

01:20:33.000 but And they couldn't listen turning the war on terror against

01:20:36.000 his followers You're right

01:20:37.000 And I think you're really on to something there and as you could see if you remember when Bernie Sanders looked like

01:20:42.000 he might Beat Joe Biden if you remember before Super Tuesday when

01:20:45.000 they all circled the wagons and got him out What did you hear from the corporate press? They are like

01:20:50.000 the brown shirts. They're basically Nazis Now, imagine if they had actually won and gotten their 0.88

01:20:56.000 candidate in there, you would see a lot of this energy turned on them.

01:20:59.000 What the right-wingers are being punished for right now is that they committed blasphemy.

01:21:05.000 You were told to vote for Jeb Bush.

01:21:07.000 We told you we were giving you another Bush.

01:21:10.000 And you decided, you decided to go for this Trump guy who we told you was unacceptable. 0.94

01:21:16.000 And so now you have to be smacked as Nazis.

01:21:19.000 And the same, they were starting to do the same thing, but the Democrats kind of fell in line and also Bernie Sanders fell in line.

01:21:24.000 So their leader basically fell in line.

01:21:25.000 They were saying the Bernie bros are violent.

01:21:28.000 Bernie.

01:21:28.000 It's dangerous.

01:21:29.000 Remember when Bernie came out and was like, stop doing these things.

01:21:29.000 Sexist.

01:21:31.000 Like he had to tell his followers to stop being violent. 1.00

01:21:34.000 Which was all bullshit. 0.97

01:21:36.000 So you think we would have avoided a lot of this extreme polarization if it had been Obama, Jeb Bush, and then like a nice back and forth? 0.99

01:21:48.000 No, my point is that we have this extreme polarization because of Bush and Obama and all of them.

01:21:55.000 But now the establishment is freaking out because they've lost control of this thing.

01:22:01.000 And now they love his paintings.

01:22:02.000 The standard line is that like Trump destroyed the Republican Party, but I think that's nonsense.

01:22:08.000 I think that George W. Bush destroyed the Republican Party and Trump was the aftermath.

01:22:13.000 And now they love his paintings.

01:22:15.000 Well, that's right.

01:22:16.000 They do.

01:22:17.000 But because they always loved him.

01:22:18.000 They never had a problem with him.

01:22:19.000 Look, they hated him.

01:22:21.000 Everyone hated him.

01:22:22.000 They turned on him when it was convenient.

01:22:23.000 They sold his wars.

01:22:25.000 The New York Times was not being woke leftist.

01:22:28.000 Judith Miller and all of these hacks were selling every one of his lies, which were 0.99

01:22:32.000 ridiculous. 0.96

01:22:33.000 OK, the idea that Saddam Hussein. 0.97

01:22:36.000 and Iran and North Korea were all doing 9-11 together or whatever it was.

01:22:41.000 They sold these wars, got us into them. Then when they saw the disastrous ramifications of the wars,

01:22:46.000 they went, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's real bad. This is no good.

01:22:49.000 Then they pushed behind Obama.

01:22:51.000 But this was all- What did Obama do?

01:22:53.000 Expanded every last one of them.

01:22:55.000 And what did Joe Biden do once he was put in charge of Iraq?

01:22:58.000 Little old brother got control of the construction contracts.

01:23:02.000 Made millions of dollars.

01:23:04.000 Just a coincidence, mind you.

01:23:06.000 And then, you know, for just totally unrelated reasons, his son got on the board of a Ukrainian energy firm during, you know, the height of this conflict with natural gas and gas problems.

01:23:14.000 Totally coincidental.

01:23:15.000 And Obama not only continued the Bush foreign policy, he expanded it to a level that Bush and Cheney probably couldn't have gotten away with.

01:23:24.000 I mean, Obama inherited the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and continued them for every single day of his presidency.

01:23:29.000 But not only that, he expanded the war into Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia.

01:23:34.000 I mean, he just took the wars all over the place.

01:23:36.000 The war on whistleblowers.

01:23:38.000 Well, yes.

01:23:38.000 More whistleblowers prosecuted than all other presidents combined.

01:23:42.000 Yeah, it might as well have been another eight years of George W. Bush.

01:23:46.000 It was worse.

01:23:47.000 Yeah, maybe even worse, I mean, debatably.

01:23:50.000 And the press was behind him all the way.

01:23:51.000 I mean, the activists hated George W. Bush, but, like you mentioned, the New York Times sold it.

01:23:57.000 But I think that there was something that they noticed with Obama, and I think this is where the corporate woke takeover really started, is that Obama Yeah.

01:24:07.000 one of the most effective things from the establishment point of view and one of the most

01:24:11.000 awful things from any sane person's point of view that obama did was obama really destroyed the

01:24:16.000 anti-war left and there was a really strong anti-war left under george w bush that is easy

01:24:22.000 to forget about now wild i mean yeah i mean you're talking hundreds of thousands of people in the

01:24:27.000 streets like on the level of like the women's march or something like that was like like

01:24:33.000 That was the type of energy. 1.00

01:24:34.000 And it wasn't just focused at some stupid thing. 0.99

01:24:37.000 It was really focused at, like, we were lied into war. 1.00

01:24:39.000 Repeal the Patriot Act.

01:24:41.000 You know, things that really matter.

01:24:43.000 The Patriot Act, ultimately, part of what brought Donald Trump to his knees in his presidency, again, ironically.

01:24:50.000 So they were focused on that.

01:24:51.000 But what happened when Obama came in?

01:24:54.000 It all went away.

01:24:55.000 And I really think that a big part of this was that the liberal and left, I'm talking like the whole left half of the country, you know, like liberals and left all, you know, so much of their identity was about not being racist.

01:25:12.000 And in the best sense of that term, you know, not like this woke craziness of today, but the fact that we go, look, man, black people were treated horribly from the beginning of this country, and we're against racism and Jim Crow and racism, you know, all this stuff.

01:25:26.000 And when you had the first black president, who was also this charismatic guy who they wanted to love, to be against him, Was just very hard for a lot of liberals and left-wing people to do.

01:25:39.000 So it just kind of silenced them.

01:25:42.000 Hey, Bill, remember when we put on that event called Ending Violence, Racism, and Authoritarianism, headlined by Daryl Davis, one of the most famous men to de-radicalize the plan?

01:25:51.000 And Antifa threatened to burn the theater down if we had those conversations?

01:25:54.000 Well, yeah.

01:25:55.000 There you go.

01:25:56.000 You can't allow that!

01:25:57.000 But what happened, right, was that after that and then into the Occupy movement and what I think what my theory on it more or less is that a lot of very powerful interests started noticing that there was this kind of woke impulse and of course all the theory was in the background.

01:26:14.000 There was critical race theory and all this stuff in the background and they started noticing that this could really tear apart the unity on the left.

01:26:21.000 And then, on the heels of Occupy Wall Street, when, as you've noticed, it started tearing it apart, on its own, organically.

01:26:28.000 Like, the woke stuff started taking over, and people were like, oh, you're not even focusing on the 99% anymore, now you're focusing on, like, what divides us.

01:26:35.000 And then all of a sudden, you see, I mean, have you looked at any of those Nexus charts?

01:26:39.000 York Times mentions of racism, Washington Post mentions of racism. I mean mentions of

01:26:45.000 you know toxic masculinity and patriarchy. They flooded the game with all of this and 1.00

01:26:51.000 all of the sudden over the last 10 years you have this culture where every single giant

01:26:56.000 corporation every politician every major media outlet every movie in Hollywood everything

01:27:03.000 has been flooded with an obsession over race and gender and all of this stuff and to me

01:27:11.000 I think it's a CIA commercial the other day. I mean is this not our torturers are

01:27:18.000 Are we going to be talking about how inclusive they are?

01:27:22.000 You gotta see the game here.

01:27:23.000 But let me just say, the game is to distract from the issues that really matter, which is power, violence, authoritarianism, and to get everybody pitted against each other in this culture war.

01:27:36.000 And they have, we have to tip our hat to them because they have done an incredibly successful job.

01:27:41.000 They've done a good job at it.

01:27:42.000 Can we get like a Ryan Long style skit where it's like Guantanamo Bay inmates in jumpsuits being like, you know, for the longest time, the torturers that were coming, they were white guys, they were white guys.

01:27:54.000 I love Ryan, by the way.

01:27:56.000 He's great.

01:27:57.000 And then he's playing the good music and then you have a guy be like, we feel like we're finally a part of history.

01:28:03.000 We're so excited.

01:28:04.000 And then like, you know, a black woman comes in and she's carrying like the rag and the bucket and like putting the gloves on and the guy's like bending over and he's like, it just feels good.

01:28:13.000 Just better now.

01:28:14.000 It's just, it's just so much better.

01:28:15.000 But that's, but that's what it is, right?

01:28:17.000 I mean, but it's, it's, if you think about it, it's a great deal.

01:28:20.000 I mean, if you're like, you know, JPMorgan Chase or Bank of America and they're, you know, basically your deal is, think about it, right?

01:28:27.000 You have like, uh, like 50,000 angry kids outside chanting, we are the 99% to these bankers.

01:28:36.000 And the deal you've been able to make the left ultimately is how about we send all of our white execs to diversity training?

01:28:44.000 Yeah!

01:28:44.000 And they're, I mean, they may not say this, but they're basically like deal.

01:28:48.000 Think we will go focus on all this other stuff and they didn't have to do anything else.

01:28:52.000 Think about we are the 99%.

01:28:52.000 Think about that.

01:28:54.000 They were literally saying 99% of this country, which is all the white people, all the black people, all the Asian

01:28:59.000 people.

01:29:00.000 Now they're literally saying, yeah, but not the majority.

01:29:03.000 Like it is split the country.

01:29:05.000 And they didn't even mean 99%.

01:29:07.000 It's even more than that, because what they really meant was 99.9%.

01:29:12.000 What they really meant was the people who own banks and hedge funds versus all the rest of us.

01:29:18.000 I mean, no, no, hold on.

01:29:20.000 At the time, they were talking about Mark Zuckerberg.

01:29:23.000 This is the funniest thing, I'll tell you.

01:29:25.000 One of my favorite days, most memorable at Occupy Wall Street was.

01:29:29.000 They were being censored and suppressed.

01:29:31.000 And they were like, you know, the media won't cover this, so we have to print our own physical newspapers.

01:29:35.000 We have to use these other social networks to use live streaming to get our message out.

01:29:40.000 And they used Twitter and they used Facebook.

01:29:41.000 But it was funny because they were complaining about the top 1% and they literally put up a shrine to Steve Jobs when he died.

01:29:48.000 Yeah.

01:29:49.000 I'm like, what?

01:29:49.000 Yeah.

01:29:51.000 It was not a good person.

01:29:52.000 But the point is that but this was the thing about Occupy Wall Street, right?

01:29:56.000 They didn't have all of the answers. 0.95

01:29:58.000 And there were these like hypocrisies and silly things like that. 0.75

01:30:01.000 But in essence, they were right.

01:30:03.000 Like the banks had just gotten bailed out.

01:30:06.000 And it was during the worst, you know, recession since the Great Depression.

01:30:11.000 You're gonna bail out these guys.

01:30:13.000 And then they kept their bonuses.

01:30:15.000 I mean, it was so blatantly corrupt.

01:30:17.000 And for them to call that out was right.

01:30:19.000 And they were focused at at least one of the power sources, like the big banks.

01:30:24.000 They were really focused at something that actually mattered.

01:30:27.000 And at the same time, or at least Around the same time, you had the Tea Party movement that was going on, where these right-wingers were coming out into the streets, and the right-wingers were saying, you know, the government is way too big, it spends way too much money, it's too corrupt, we're taxed too much, we borrow too much, the debt's out of control, this is a problem.

01:30:45.000 And the left-wingers are over here saying, you know, bailing out the banks is immoral, they're getting all of these profits, and none of the...

01:30:52.000 And it was almost like, I've said this before on my podcast, it was almost like they were holding two sides of the same pendant necklace and it was only a matter of time for the left and right to come together and be like, you know, these ideas don't contradict each other at all.

01:31:04.000 They actually go right in line with each other.

01:31:06.000 However, now it got all broken up.

01:31:08.000 Occupy very quickly went woke.

01:31:10.000 It was only a matter of like a week or two when the facilitators, they called themselves, come in and started saying, Oh, white people aren't allowed to speak.

01:31:17.000 And it drove, you know, you know that there were libertarians and conservatives there.

01:31:21.000 I remember one of the, in the first week there was like a 60 year old couple with an American flag sitting there complaining about all the same things.

01:31:28.000 You know, the bank got bailed out, we're being corrupted and everyone was in agreement.

01:31:31.000 I mean, I met Luke down at Occupy the Wall Street.

01:31:34.000 It was Occupy the Fed.

01:31:35.000 Occupy the Fed was going alongside Occupy the Wall Street.

01:31:37.000 Those were all the Libertarians who supported similar ideas.

01:31:39.000 Because this was the Ron Paul days.

01:31:41.000 So the Libertarians were trying to come in there and try to, like, teach.

01:31:44.000 They were trying to teach them a little bit, like, hey, if you hate the banks, there's this one bank that runs all the banks.

01:31:49.000 They weren't trying to do anything.

01:31:51.000 They were there.

01:31:52.000 I was there in the first week.

01:31:54.000 They were there.

01:31:55.000 Luke Rutkowski was there.

01:31:56.000 Ron Paul guy.

01:31:57.000 I met him there.

01:31:58.000 We talked about these things.

01:31:59.000 Great conversation between libertarians, conservatives, and liberals. 0.97

01:32:03.000 And then, very quickly, the ultra-woke gay men took over the meetings and said white people weren't allowed to talk anymore. 0.91

01:32:09.000 And I remember this one white dude I knew, who was an anarchist, started crying and left. 0.61

01:32:13.000 And so these people started leaving and it was stripping away the core of the movement.

01:32:16.000 Now, many of these Occupy people who followed me or friended me at the time are championing the FBI's raid on Giuliani and Facebook and Twitter, massive multinational corporations, suppressing dissent.

01:32:28.000 They've never had principles, they were going along with the tide, and they were manipulated.

01:32:53.000 I know a lot of people didn't like PayPal, so there you go.

01:32:56.000 But anyway, smash that like button, subscribe, share the show if you really like it.

01:33:01.000 Let's read some of these Super Chats. 1.00

01:33:03.000 Michael Brogan says Friday nights, baby.

01:33:06.000 Always the best guests.

01:33:07.000 Cheers, Dave.

01:33:08.000 Cheers, Timcast IRL team.

01:33:11.000 We are having a crew come out, hopefully next week, to help us clean out the garage skate park.

01:33:16.000 So if you've seen the vlog, we've got, or if you've seen my Instagram posts, we have this big skate park slash venue.

01:33:21.000 We call it the Grind Bar.

01:33:23.000 And we have some work that has to be done with clearing out this, like, really awful, gross insulation.

01:33:29.000 Because we still have a lot of work to do.

01:33:31.000 And after that, we're going to start We're trying to go as fast as we can.

01:33:36.000 Friday night live events, where we wouldn't just be having this show.

01:33:39.000 We'd actually swap over and have music and comedy.

01:33:43.000 And members are actually going to be able to buy tickets to come out.

01:33:46.000 And we'll do this, hopefully, every single week.

01:33:50.000 We gotta get things cleaned up.

01:33:51.000 Then once we do, we can get the computers installed, the cameras installed, and then we gotta do a major upgrade on this studio, so... It takes time, unfortunately, but that's the plan, man.

01:34:00.000 All right, Christian Jamgochian says, When I was 17 and a dumb high schooler, I wanted to be a cop. 0.71

01:34:07.000 Seven years later, I'm glad I didn't do it.

01:34:08.000 Also, here's $27 for the $2,700 you donated to the cat's surgery.

01:34:14.000 Good guy Tim over here keeping his promises.

01:34:16.000 Yeah, so yesterday, someone super chatted their cat needed surgery.

01:34:16.000 Y'all rock.

01:34:19.000 And I said, by the end of the show, this will be done.

01:34:24.000 And a lot of people did donate.

01:34:25.000 Still a large amount was left over, so I donated.

01:34:28.000 I actually wanted to start a non-profit a while ago.

01:34:30.000 We talked about it, where we basically pay for animal surgeries.

01:34:35.000 Because I know a lot of people who have had like a cat or a dog.

01:34:37.000 It's like two grand.

01:34:39.000 Yeah.

01:34:39.000 To like save the animal's life.

01:34:41.000 And they're like, I just don't have that money.

01:34:43.000 So like, what are you gonna do?

01:34:43.000 Let your pet die?

01:34:44.000 I'm like, maybe we can set something up.

01:34:46.000 I don't know.

01:34:47.000 Yeah.

01:34:48.000 Let's see where we're at.

01:34:48.000 All right.

01:34:51.000 C. Hennessy says, Tim, you should get Lewis Rossman from YouTube on.

01:34:55.000 He's an NYC business owner who can't plead guilty or ask for a court date for a fine that was given on BS Unclear Law.

01:35:02.000 Could pay more in fines if he can't get in contact.

01:35:06.000 Right to repair.

01:35:06.000 Yeah, I saw this.

01:35:07.000 Apparently the website didn't work.

01:35:09.000 So he couldn't actually do anything.

01:35:10.000 Then they call him, like, you're in trouble.

01:35:11.000 And he's like, I can't even go on the website.

01:35:12.000 The website doesn't work.

01:35:13.000 Like, what am I supposed to do?

01:35:14.000 And there's no in-person because of COVID.

01:35:16.000 So it's just like New York's imploding.

01:35:21.000 Logan Brown says, how are you enjoying rural living?

01:35:25.000 You know, I guess it is rural.

01:35:28.000 I suppose it could be more rural, but it's the best.

01:35:31.000 Sub-rural.

01:35:32.000 I walk outside onto my deck and I just, like, fire an arrow from my compound bow and hit a target.

01:35:37.000 And I can just, like, do that every morning, whenever I want.

01:35:39.000 It's fantastic.

01:35:40.000 It smells so good outside.

01:35:41.000 Yeah, you go outside, fresh air.

01:35:44.000 Here's the crazy thing.

01:35:45.000 Y'all city folk drinking that nasty fluoride water, aren't you?

01:35:48.000 Not us.

01:35:49.000 We got our own water source.

01:35:51.000 Yes, fresh well water.

01:35:53.000 And it's and we got a really great system.

01:35:55.000 We have like one of the highest quality, you know, home systems.

01:35:57.000 It's got the UV light and everything.

01:36:00.000 None of that gross fluoride water with, you know, copper and rusted pipes.

01:36:04.000 Yeah, rusted pipes.

01:36:08.000 Carter Felder says, have you read Spiral Dynamics by Don Beck and Christopher Cohen?

01:36:13.000 Have any of you?

01:36:13.000 I haven't.

01:36:14.000 No.

01:36:14.000 Sounds fascinating, though.

01:36:16.000 The Spiral Man.

01:36:17.000 EVBBJones says, this super chat was paid for by unemployment benefits.

01:36:22.000 I could go back to work, but the entire state government is telling me not to.

01:36:25.000 They're literally paying me not to.

01:36:26.000 Give them what they paid for.

01:36:28.000 What if we supplanted unemployment with UBI so that you could still work?

01:36:33.000 You just still got the money, but then you don't lose it if you go to work.

01:36:36.000 It doesn't work.

01:36:38.000 So unemployment doesn't work either.

01:36:39.000 It would just be a less faultless system.

01:36:43.000 Look, like I was saying before, the government is just giving you taxpayer money.

01:36:47.000 If you want to ask for help from the people who do work and are paying taxes, how about this radical idea?

01:36:54.000 Ask for the help.

01:36:55.000 And if they want to give you the help, they can.

01:36:58.000 And if people in your community go, oh, there's this guy who's trying to work, but he's out of work, we can pull some money together and help him.

01:37:03.000 But why do you get to, through government, force somebody who has to produce something and has to go to work to just give you money for doing nothing?

01:37:12.000 That's a cooperation versus competition argument, but to Ian's point about why can't you supplement UBI.

01:37:18.000 Let's say somebody is a base... they make screws.

01:37:22.000 You know, you need screws so that you can build wood objects.

01:37:26.000 And the person who... the company that makes screws pays 15 bucks an hour.

01:37:30.000 So they start saying, everybody, we're looking to hire people, we pay 15 bucks an hour, and you'll probably end up making, you know, two grand per month.

01:37:37.000 The guy goes, I get a thousand bucks a month doing nothing.

01:37:41.000 So why should I do work and only get a little bit more?

01:37:44.000 And they say, well, we're supplementing your income.

01:37:46.000 So you'll get an extra, you'll have 3000 per month.

01:37:48.000 And they're like, but I can live off of a thousand and do nothing.

01:37:51.000 And I can do stuff in my free time and make money under the table.

01:37:55.000 And then the business says, okay, well then how much do we have to pay you to make you want to work here on top of a thousand you already get?

01:37:55.000 Yes.

01:38:01.000 And they're like, I don't know.

01:38:02.000 Okay.

01:38:02.000 Can we give you 3000 a month?

01:38:02.000 They go.

01:38:05.000 All right, then I'll have four grand.

01:38:06.000 All right, I'll take the job.

01:38:07.000 What's happening is, now the company has to raise the cost of all of the screws.

01:38:12.000 Then the contractor comes in and says, we've got to build a house.

01:38:14.000 Man, screws just went up, you know, 33%.

01:38:17.000 Why?

01:38:18.000 Because in order to incentivize people who don't need to work, you've got to pay them a lot more than you would pay someone who doesn't have any money.

01:38:23.000 Because of competition, instead of having to offer him three grand instead, you just find someone else that wanted to do it for two.

01:38:29.000 Why would some... It's like you said earlier.

01:38:32.000 When the government pays someone $16 an hour, any business that is offering you a job is saying, I'll give you $1 an hour for full-time work.

01:38:40.000 Yeah, that's busted.

01:38:41.000 So if someone's already getting $1,000, you're saying, I'll give you an additional $7 an hour to work full-time.

01:38:47.000 And most people are going to be like, I'd rather just sit on the beach.

01:38:52.000 One other logistical problem that I see with the idea of UBI is that quite often proponents of it take for granted the idea that we've abolished all other forms of handouts.

01:39:02.000 Which any time, as a libertarian, any time I say, let's abolish the welfare state, it's like, oh well that's so impractical.

01:39:07.000 But for some reason, when you're proposing UBI, you just get to take it as a given that we've abolished all these other forms of welfare.

01:39:14.000 So if we have already done the work of abolishing all these other forms of welfare, then we've really changed the mentality in this country that people would be willing to accept that.

01:39:22.000 Because what happens when somebody, okay, so you get $1,000 a month or something like that, we've abolished all other forms of welfare.

01:39:30.000 A single mom not working with three kids. 0.83

01:39:33.000 She blew her $1,000. 0.79

01:39:34.000 Now she's destitute. 1.00

01:39:35.000 What about that?

01:39:37.000 Aren't we right back at the exact same place where we were before?

01:39:40.000 What are we going to do to take care of her? 0.99

01:39:41.000 If a mom was making $1,800 a month for whatever reason, and then you were going to supplant the $1,000, she'd only get $800 left. 1.00

01:39:47.000 She wouldn't lose it all, but she would only supplant us.

01:39:50.000 up to the base. But then if that's the case, then we have all of the same incentive problems

01:39:54.000 that we had with the welfare state to begin with, except you could she's not getting anything.

01:39:58.000 You could reduce the initial. So like the first thousand, you don't have like you'd

01:40:02.000 get rid of unemployment. And then does it. You know what I'm saying? No. OK.

01:40:07.000 It doesn't work.

01:40:09.000 That's the point.

01:40:09.000 None of it works.

01:40:10.000 It's busted.

01:40:11.000 So let's try and plug a hole here. 0.87

01:40:12.000 You can't.

01:40:13.000 Calm down.

01:40:14.000 You can't.

01:40:15.000 It's like being like, why can't I just eat ice cream for the rest of my life?

01:40:19.000 Now, I understand there's a problem with sugar and fats, but let's find out how to eat ice cream.

01:40:22.000 You can't do it.

01:40:23.000 If you're going to pay someone a thousand bucks a month, then why punish them for getting a job on top of that?

01:40:29.000 It doesn't make any sense to me.

01:40:31.000 Oh, okay, I understand the point there, and there certainly is an incentive problem with telling someone that they lose their money if they start getting a job, but to the flip side of that, now you're giving taxpayer money to people who don't need it, now you're giving taxpayer money to people who, you know, You may not even be asking for it.

01:40:49.000 I mean, I don't know.

01:40:50.000 If we're going to talk about repealing the welfare state, let's just do what obviously makes sense, which is repeal it.

01:40:57.000 Why are we giving these blood-soaked monsters in Washington, D.C., control of our tax dollars to try to do the right thing with?

01:41:04.000 Look, over this last year, in America's greatest moment in need, like when we really were on our knees as a country, what did they do?

01:41:13.000 They robbed the American people and bailed out all of the biggest corporations in the country.

01:41:19.000 The banks got extended trillions in easy loans.

01:41:22.000 Every big corporation that was politically connected got hundreds of billions of dollars.

01:41:26.000 We got like, what, a crummy $1,200 going out? 0.87

01:41:29.000 Why are we trusting this mechanism, which is, we all know, all of us know, rotten to the core, filled with corrupt people.

01:41:36.000 If either people are good enough to take care of those who are in need, Or they're not, and if they're not, they're certainly not good enough to vote in blood-soaked monsters who are then going to take care of the people in need.

01:41:48.000 There's one possibility too, right?

01:41:50.000 And it's that if the government gave everybody a thousand bucks a month from taxpayers, you know, everyone, you know, pays taxes, they likely would not be able to do that because I think it would exceed the GDP or it would just be a tremendous strain, so they'd probably print or borrow.

01:42:02.000 But let's say everyone's still desperate for work because $1,000 a month doesn't cut it.

01:42:06.000 Now you're gonna see businesses being like, we only pay $5 an hour.

01:42:09.000 Take it or leave it.

01:42:10.000 You're already getting $1,000 from the government, you don't need anything from us.

01:42:13.000 Sorry, that's it.

01:42:13.000 You could reduce minimum wage, yeah.

01:42:16.000 Well, or what would happen is hyperinflation from UBI would result in stagnant minimum wage.

01:42:21.000 The left would then demand the minimum wage go up, and it would just be constant command economy.

01:42:25.000 It just doesn't work.

01:42:27.000 It makes little sense.

01:42:29.000 It makes no sense.

01:42:31.000 When I say little, I get it.

01:42:33.000 You know, a child says, why don't we just, like, give people money so they can have food?

01:42:37.000 Because, like, we have so much food.

01:42:39.000 It's like, bro, because the economy doesn't work that way.

01:42:42.000 What the dollar represents right now is a few things.

01:42:45.000 Arguably, it represents the energy required for labor.

01:42:49.000 So it could represent petroleum, the petrodollar.

01:42:52.000 But in terms of labor in the United States, we have a very service sector-based economy.

01:42:57.000 The dollar, the energy behind it is what people are willing, how much labor people are willing to exchange for labor.

01:43:04.000 How much does a petroleum engineer, how much time do they want to work in order to have someone serve them a cheeseburger at a restaurant?

01:43:11.000 They probably don't value that, that a whole lot.

01:43:13.000 In fact, we can get kiosks to do it.

01:43:15.000 So the issue is when we talk about just raising minimum wages or giving people money, you will just increase the cost of the lowest level of labor that people don't respect as it is.

01:43:27.000 Doctors are like, why should- So there's this meme that goes around, where it's a guy like, I'm an electrical engineer, and when I hear that fast food workers want to make the same amount as me, I say, congratulations, we all deserve a living wage.

01:43:39.000 And it's the stupidest argument, because an electrical engineer, who's probably not making all that much, you know, relative, you know, to other jobs, doesn't want to have to work for five hours to be able to buy a chicken dinner.

01:43:50.000 These people are saying, I work hard, I've established myself in my career, I should be able to provide for my family, and by working harder, gain more to give my family a better life. 0.99

01:44:00.000 That means, after 10 years of training and being an apprentice, now I'm a journeyman, now I'm a master, I'm making more money, and somebody is going to spend the same amount of time in a fast food restaurant to earn the same thing they do, Now the argument of the left is, but everyone deserves a living wage.

01:44:17.000 The problem then is, people will say, why work hard to become a specialist or master if we're only going to get access to the same things?

01:44:24.000 Again, the left argument is that people will be fulfilled by taking these jobs.

01:44:28.000 That's true for some people, but not true for everybody.

01:44:31.000 And I always ask my lefty friends this, how many people do you know want to be famous musicians?

01:44:35.000 And they're like, oh, a ton.

01:44:36.000 How many of them are good enough to actually do it?

01:44:38.000 None of them.

01:44:39.000 And how many of them, if you gave them money, would quit their jobs and just play garbage music outside trying to be a rock star?

01:44:45.000 Probably all of them.

01:44:46.000 Yeah.

01:44:47.000 And then on the flip side of that, right, like, you know, there are these jobs, like, being a garbage man usually pays, like, fairly decently because, you know, no one really wants to do that.

01:44:58.000 But the only way to entice people into it is to say, well, look, you can make 80k a year or something like that.

01:45:03.000 And in 10 years, garbage trucks will be AI.

01:45:06.000 And the primary argument of the smartest people who propose UBI is AI.

01:45:14.000 That's what they're saying.

01:45:15.000 That's why billionaires support it.

01:45:17.000 That's the Hunger Games.

01:45:18.000 Because then you have the richest people getting free resources from those who are still forced to work.

01:45:24.000 Working hard doesn't make you rich in this world.

01:45:27.000 AI produces jobs.

01:45:29.000 But working hard shouldn't make you rich.

01:45:31.000 I mean, I could go outside and lift a boulder over my head and drop it for 12 hours in a row and I'm working really, really hard.

01:45:37.000 I shouldn't get rich from that because I'm not providing any value to anyone else.

01:45:41.000 If it's attached to a gravity generator, Well, okay, now we're talking.

01:45:45.000 But I would just say, in the argument, and I think this is actually the most flawed argument for UBI, which is one of the arguments that you just brought up.

01:45:53.000 No, I know you're not making it, you're just saying that this is one of the arguments, which is basically that, well, technological developments are going to take away all of the jobs that exist now, and so we have to replace them with something.

01:46:04.000 The major, major flaw in that argument is that if you looked at What technological advancements have already taken away in terms of jobs, they're almost all gone.

01:46:15.000 I mean, if you look at the jobs from 1890, I mean, what percentage of society was in agricultural work compared to now?

01:46:24.000 It's probably 80% to 3% or something like that.

01:46:26.000 To be fair, you know, the city used to have poop departments to clean up horse poop.

01:46:32.000 Well, that's right.

01:46:32.000 San Francisco is bringing them back.

01:46:36.000 But the point is that if you're going to say that, if somebody in the year 1890 was like, oh my God, these automobiles are coming in and this is going to put out the horse and buggy driver out of work, you know, if you were to sit down and explain to them, like, and they said, well, what jobs are people going to do?

01:46:53.000 And you were like, well, how about graphic design?

01:46:55.000 And how about audio engineer?

01:46:56.000 This would be impossible to explain to somebody, you know, 130 years ago.

01:47:01.000 But the point is that in the future, we won't know what the jobs are going to be, that this technology will create lots of new jobs.

01:47:07.000 The problem is you can't take a petroleum engineer who is, you know, 50 who still needs to work and be like, go learn to code.

01:47:16.000 They're gonna be like, I can't learn to do that. 0.99

01:47:18.000 Are you nuts?

01:47:19.000 So that means my specialty, which becomes obsolete. 0.89

01:47:21.000 So this is a hole in the system that No, but there still are peripheral jobs related to

01:47:26.000 the I.S. that don't they don't require knowledge.

01:47:30.000 Well, how to code. Well, look, it's a it's a hole in the system in a sense.

01:47:34.000 I mean, it's like this is part of like it's creative destruction. Right. So if you owned a Kodak store

01:47:42.000 when digital cameras came out.

01:47:45.000 Like, I'm not denying that that really sucked for you.

01:47:47.000 I mean, there's, like, there are people who, like, you know, was like, oh, I make typewriters, and that sucks that computers came out.

01:47:55.000 But it also, it doesn't destroy the economy.

01:47:59.000 Like, there were lots more jobs created by it.

01:48:01.000 I want you to imagine something.

01:48:02.000 Everyone listening right now.

01:48:04.000 The year is, you know, 1999.

01:48:08.000 Or maybe, no, no, it's 2004.

01:48:09.000 I don't know what year.

01:48:11.000 And there is a young man.

01:48:13.000 He's 23 and he's wearing a blue polo shirt.

01:48:16.000 And he's got a tear, a single tear, coming from his left eye.

01:48:18.000 Is he wearing a beanie?

01:48:20.000 Is this a story of you?

01:48:21.000 As the regional manager for Blockbuster enters his store, puts his hand on his shoulder and says, son, it's over.

01:48:29.000 And he's been working there for years.

01:48:30.000 It's his passion.

01:48:32.000 Everyone in the neighborhood knew him.

01:48:33.000 He was smiling, Jim.

01:48:34.000 They'd come in and be like, what's the movies today, Jim?

01:48:36.000 And he'd be like, oh, let me show you the new releases with a smile on his face for years.

01:48:39.000 This young man.

01:48:40.000 And then one day they came in and said, the dream has come to an end.

01:48:44.000 And then all that's left now is this old decaying building with this weird ticket logo, and it's just a rotting decay.

01:48:51.000 And Jim shows up now, and he's now in his 40s, and he looks there, and he stands across the street with a beer gut, his hair's thinning and gone.

01:48:58.000 You know, his kids are walking past him, and they're like, come on, Dad!

01:49:01.000 And he goes, just a second.

01:49:02.000 And he looks across the street at the old blockbuster.

01:49:05.000 And he raises his left hand.

01:49:07.000 And then he just remembers.

01:49:08.000 If that guy could have pushed a button and stopped Netflix, he may have, which terrifies me, because that indicates an incentive to stop or slow innovation.

01:49:17.000 That's why you don't want workers to have control over things like this. 0.99

01:49:22.000 What you just mentioned is the great flaw in democratic socialism, is that if you have, like, workers having control over innovation, yeah, they're gonna vote against it.

01:49:31.000 Okay, so let's go back.

01:49:32.000 Okay, so he's raising his left hand, looking across at the blockbuster, And then he scowls.

01:49:38.000 He's angry.

01:49:39.000 We're going home, kids.

01:49:40.000 And then he works tirelessly in his basement, welding.

01:49:44.000 And his kids are like, Dad, what are you doing?

01:49:46.000 Not now!

01:49:47.000 And his wife is like, it's been weeks.

01:49:49.000 He's not showering.

01:49:50.000 And then finally in his basement, he goes, I've done it.

01:49:50.000 What's happening?

01:49:53.000 And he hits a giant red button and opens up a time vortex.

01:49:57.000 And he goes back in time and he finds the founder of Netflix and he's shaking and holding the gun.

01:50:01.000 And he's like, you took everything from me!

01:50:03.000 And Netflix guy goes, I don't even know you!

01:50:06.000 And that's the story of how the alternate timeline where Blockbuster never, never went out of business.

01:50:11.000 I would watch that movie if it was sold at Blockbuster, but only there.

01:50:15.000 But just the point, the goal isn't just jobs.

01:50:19.000 You know what I mean?

01:50:20.000 Like the goal is prosperity.

01:50:22.000 The goal is more productivity in a higher productive capacity.

01:50:25.000 I mean, if we were, this is an old like Frederick Bastiat example.

01:50:29.000 I forget exactly how it goes, but if the sun is putting the candle makers out a bit, like, you know, the candle makers could sell a lot more.

01:50:35.000 More if we didn't have this sun the whole time.

01:50:37.000 But if you could just imagine, right?

01:50:38.000 Let's say oxygen, which is something we all need to live, but we don't think about, and it's not scarce, so we just have it.

01:50:45.000 Imagine we all had to work five hours a day for oxygen.

01:50:49.000 Like, some type of physical work had to be done so that there was enough for us to breathe.

01:50:53.000 Well, we would have way more jobs, but we would also be way poorer because we'd be working for something that we already have for free now.

01:51:00.000 So the goal is to produce more and more with less and less.

01:51:05.000 Yeah, the job economy is a Federal Reserve concept.

01:51:08.000 We got a super chat from Rad No.

01:51:09.000 2.

01:51:09.000 He says, I work a union gig and we are desperate for help.

01:51:12.000 Starting at $100k per year with benefits and people would rather sit on their butts and get free money.

01:51:18.000 Also, Dave Smith for president.

01:51:19.000 Hey, there you go.

01:51:20.000 Thinking about it.

01:51:21.000 I'm into it.

01:51:22.000 Yeah.

01:51:23.000 Oh yeah, aren't you running or something, is it?

01:51:25.000 I said I'm thinking about running on the Libertarian Party for 2024.

01:51:29.000 Yeah, because they need a real... Well listen, you know, you brought it up I think last time I was here, and I know you brought it up before, and you're right to, that meme of Libertarian ideas versus Libertarian candidates, but the truth is there's no reason for it to be like that, and there have been great Libertarian candidates before.

01:51:46.000 Ron Paul was that guy, Harry Brown was that guy, and you know, there's just a lot of the candidates don't really know how to talk about Liberty.

01:51:54.000 And if no one else will do it good, then I'll do it.

01:51:56.000 That is false!

01:51:57.000 John, you are incorrect.

01:51:58.000 Tim, you can't quit and be approved for unemployment.

01:52:01.000 There's an investigation process that does take place, and you need to be fired or laid

01:52:05.000 off to get approved.

01:52:06.000 So don't quit, people.

01:52:07.000 You will be denied.

01:52:08.000 That is false.

01:52:09.000 John, you are incorrect.

01:52:10.000 You need a reason.

01:52:12.000 So you can work at a job and quit and still get unemployment so long as you quit for a

01:52:16.000 valid reason.

01:52:17.000 Namely, uh, you were being harassed.

01:52:20.000 Your boss, you know, uh, did something inappropriate.

01:52:24.000 You can say, I felt threatened at work and I didn't know how to deal with it because I felt- I felt like there was going to be retaliation.

01:52:30.000 And they might deny you.

01:52:31.000 They might be like, that's not a good enough reason.

01:52:33.000 But you can quit.

01:52:34.000 You just need a real reason.

01:52:36.000 And that's the thing.

01:52:37.000 A lot of people do.

01:52:38.000 They'll file a complaint at work and be like, this person's making me feel unsafe.

01:52:41.000 Then a week later, they'll come back and say, I still feel unsafe.

01:52:44.000 There's no way to resolve someone saying something like, I feel unsafe and this person's doing it.

01:52:48.000 And then when the business can't do anything about your fake problem, you quit and you say, yeah, I quit because they were threatening me and they couldn't do anything about it.

01:52:55.000 And they'll be like, okay.

01:52:58.000 Also, if you are fired for cause, you also might not be able to get unemployment.

01:53:02.000 So, like, if you do something inappropriate and it's documented and then get fired and then say, I want unemployment, they might be like, yeah, well, like, you were streaking through the halls of the business, you don't get unemployment.

01:53:12.000 It's just about whether it's your fault or not.

01:53:16.000 So you can quit.

01:53:18.000 Dakota Smith says, just bought the To The Moon shirt.

01:53:21.000 Keep up the struggle.

01:53:21.000 Long time viewer.

01:53:22.000 Appreciate it.

01:53:23.000 If you go to TimCast.com, click the store.

01:53:23.000 That's right!

01:53:26.000 We have this amazing new Doge shirt.

01:53:28.000 It's a Sheba holding cash, and it says To The Moon, and there's coins everywhere.

01:53:31.000 And that one's probably going to be up for a while.

01:53:33.000 I love that one.

01:53:34.000 It's great.

01:53:37.000 All right, let's see.

01:53:38.000 Let's get some new superchats. 0.94

01:53:40.000 Uh-oh.

01:53:41.000 Slenzer says- Slenzer.

01:53:43.000 Dave, Malice may be your press secretary, but Tim Pool is chief of staff all day.

01:53:47.000 Ian can tag along and lives as communications director to keep Malice on a leash.

01:53:51.000 I don't know about chief of staff.

01:53:52.000 I don't know what- that sounds- that sounds like something I would do.

01:53:54.000 I feel like we could find a more creative job for you.

01:53:58.000 Chief of Staff sounds boring.

01:54:00.000 You're a fun guy.

01:54:01.000 Head up intelligence or something.

01:54:03.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, like Director of National Intelligence.

01:54:05.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:54:06.000 You couldn't be worse than the previous ones.

01:54:09.000 I'd be much too libertarian.

01:54:11.000 I'd be like...

01:54:12.000 That's what we're looking for here.

01:54:13.000 I'd just be releasing the documents.

01:54:15.000 Like the head of the CIA would walk in and be like, alright, we got some very serious intel and they hand me the report.

01:54:21.000 Yeah, that's interesting.

01:54:21.000 Let me tweet this real quick.

01:54:23.000 What are you doing?

01:54:24.000 I'm just tweeting out this to the public so they can see what's going on.

01:54:26.000 I'm sorry, dude.

01:54:27.000 I'm gonna get so many likes on this.

01:54:29.000 The public has a right to know!

01:54:30.000 It's like... Yeah, no, I don't know, man.

01:54:33.000 I understand there's a real need for confidentiality, classified stuff, and war and conflict.

01:54:38.000 That's why I don't want to go anywhere near that stuff.

01:54:42.000 All right, Ian Mitchell says, with Ethereum having moved away from proof-of-work, miners and those interested in mining should look into Vertcoin.

01:54:49.000 The new VertHash algorithm is ASIC, resistant, and very GPU-friendly.

01:54:54.000 Vertcoin's one-click miner makes it a great intro to mining.

01:54:58.000 Everybody's got a new coin.

01:55:01.000 Mark Jensen says, the ATF just posted a proposed rule change redefining what a firearm is.

01:55:06.000 Would make millions of gun owners felons overnight.

01:55:09.000 Wow.

01:55:10.000 Oh, there you go.

01:55:13.000 Chris Demond says, Ian took your advice last AM, or took your advice, and I'm starting a new political party, the Southern Secessionist Syndicate Party.

01:55:22.000 Check us out.

01:55:23.000 I don't know what that is.

01:55:23.000 Yeah, something about Southern Secessionists just has a little bit of a bad connotation.

01:55:27.000 I don't remember advising that either.

01:55:29.000 I mean, I'm all for it, but it's just, it has this historical context.

01:55:33.000 If there's no such thing as a peaceful divorce, keep that in mind.

01:55:35.000 The federal government will blockade any port it has to.

01:55:39.000 Look at the Soviet Union. 0.55

01:55:39.000 Well, I don't know. 0.55

01:55:41.000 They broke up.

01:55:42.000 They invaded Afghanistan, I think, and destroyed their economy. 1.00

01:55:46.000 That was before they broke up.

01:55:47.000 And then they broke up.

01:55:47.000 Yeah.

01:55:49.000 Too bad.

01:55:49.000 I like that band.

01:55:50.000 Wraith Customs Firearms says, the financial advice thing started because someone owning stock A would say, buy stock A, get others to buy it to spike value, then dump it.

01:55:59.000 Get rich while others get screwed. 0.74

01:56:00.000 Love the show. 0.95

01:56:01.000 Shout out to my small business, Wraith Customs Firearms dot com.

01:56:05.000 Hey, thanks for the super chat.

01:56:08.000 Paul Mikesner says, Tim, I'd like to invite you and the crew to the IVE quadruple 8 range day.

01:56:14.000 Shoot exotics full autos for free.

01:56:17.000 Meet the majority of gun YouTube channels. 0.51

01:56:19.000 Prez of GOA, FPC, Industry Peeps.

01:56:21.000 Wanted to invite you three years ago, but was on Nolan's Tenet.

01:56:25.000 Canceled last year.

01:56:26.000 I'll email you at midnight.

01:56:28.000 Uh, is it near where we're at?

01:56:30.000 Can we film it?

01:56:30.000 Cause that sounds great.

01:56:31.000 That'd be fun.

01:56:33.000 Some, uh, belt-fed full auto or something?

01:56:36.000 DrDoctor says, UBI as a concept is probably more 25 years out unless we have quick advancement in automation and robotics and it's cost-effective versus human labor.

01:56:45.000 As a former ATC in the Army, I watched more and more automation, even in my field, plus advanced drones.

01:56:51.000 Look into TAIS.

01:56:53.000 I've been talking about this stuff for decades.

01:56:56.000 I was like a teenager.

01:56:57.000 I was like 16.

01:56:58.000 And I felt there's a serious problem that you could dedicate your life to your country, to your community, working hard to be the master at a certain job, and when it becomes obsolete, we just kick you out.

01:57:08.000 It's like, sorry, you can't have access to goods now because, through no fault of your own, technology advanced, which creates a problem.

01:57:14.000 However, Luddites aren't good either, just saying, like, the horse and buggy industry is being destroyed by Big Otto.

01:57:21.000 So it's a challenge.

01:57:23.000 Unfortunately, the problem with UBI is that some people would not work while others work extremely hard.

01:57:28.000 And what do you think is going to happen when rural farmers are busting their asses and people in the city are doing nothing?

01:57:33.000 Eventually going to be like, I am done being your servant and working hard so that you get free stuff.

01:57:38.000 Well, like I was saying before, I would just say that the concept of UBI, in essence, already exists.

01:57:45.000 Like, the idea that, well, we have this starting point that no one falls behind.

01:57:49.000 I mean, like... It's a rebrand.

01:57:50.000 Right.

01:57:50.000 Like, talk to someone in Central Africa, compare our life to that.

01:57:53.000 We have that.

01:57:54.000 We live with that already.

01:57:56.000 So the only question that's important is what is going to lift this whole tide up more and more.

01:58:02.000 And so I think that, honestly, like, yeah, you could look at the guy who loses his job because technology changes.

01:58:08.000 But what about the 50 guys who gained a job when the technology changed?

01:58:12.000 The question is, what makes us richer and richer and richer?

01:58:16.000 And I don't think that that's government handouts.

01:58:18.000 I think it was Darwin said, it's not the smartest of the species that survives, but the one that's the most adaptable to change.

01:58:24.000 Right.

01:58:24.000 And you can see that in automation.

01:58:25.000 Yep.

01:58:26.000 And people are figuring out how to be more independently creative and generate financial freedom on their own.

01:58:31.000 I mean, that's what you gotta do.

01:58:32.000 More than ever.

01:58:33.000 This is a good one.

01:58:34.000 Vash Spector says, Massive gas shortage is due to lack of truck drivers to deliver fuel.

01:58:40.000 Market is down 300,000 drivers and high 90% turnover.

01:58:45.000 I drive 70 hours a week.

01:58:47.000 I would do more if the government would let us.

01:58:49.000 Wow.

01:58:50.000 There you go.

01:58:51.000 $12.50 a week if you join.

01:58:52.000 Wow.

01:58:53.000 So I'm glad I got an electric car.

01:58:55.000 I bought a Tesla.

01:58:56.000 Because I'm like, I don't want to sit around and wait for the next gas shortage.

01:58:59.000 Like, I wasn't around Ford in the 80s.

01:59:01.000 I guess it was a gas shortage.

01:59:02.000 People remember it, I guess.

01:59:03.000 I remember hearing stories about people waiting in line.

01:59:05.000 It was like odds and even license plate numbers to try and get gas on certain days.

01:59:09.000 I saw one in New York during Hurricane Sandy.

01:59:11.000 Were you guys there?

01:59:12.000 Oh yeah, dude.

01:59:13.000 That was crazy.

01:59:13.000 Man, that was a couple weird couple days.

01:59:15.000 People waiting all day to fill up their tank one time.

01:59:18.000 I was literally, Hurricane Sandy was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen in my life being in midtown Manhattan and it's like country black. 0.99

01:59:26.000 You know, like you can't see your hand in front of your face and you're walking around with flashlights and stuff.

01:59:31.000 Did a stand-up show by Candlelight.

01:59:32.000 It was wacky.

01:59:34.000 Tyler Adams says, hey Tim, one person I'd love to be on the show would be Charles Hoskinson of the Cardano Foundation.

01:59:41.000 He's got his own YouTube channel.

01:59:42.000 He's politically intellectual and the creator of Cardano, co-creator of Ethereum.

01:59:46.000 His location is in Colorado and worth the interview.

01:59:48.000 Interesting.

01:59:49.000 Full disclosure, I do have Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano.

01:59:49.000 Don't you know Hoskinson?

01:59:51.000 We talked about this the other day.

01:59:52.000 I also have Dogecoin.

01:59:55.000 It's at 69 cents now.

01:59:57.000 .69, whatever it is.

01:59:59.000 Yeah, but what, is everyone just gonna sell once it gets to a dollar or something?

02:00:01.000 After Saturday when Elon talks about it, there's gonna be a huge dump.

02:00:05.000 That's why everyone's buying right now.

02:00:10.000 There's a video of him I saw yesterday where he was like, Doge is a joke, invest responsibly, and I would never tell anyone to invest their fortune in this.

02:00:19.000 Kuro Teran says, regarding a video you posted earlier in the day, I'm from Wisconsin.

02:00:23.000 We have castle doctrine here, so the arrest of the man for conducting a show of force when rioters threatened him was a wrongful arrest, dare I say illegal.

02:00:30.000 No.

02:00:31.000 But does that mean the police broke the law and arrested a homeowner who was being threatened by a raucous crowd?

02:00:36.000 That doesn't sound like something the police would do.

02:00:39.000 They wouldn't arrest the law-abiding citizen in his own home who was defending himself from a group of people who had previously been in a house that was set on fire.

02:00:46.000 Oh, that'd be so strange.

02:00:48.000 It's almost as if the police are taking the side of the rioters because, like I said last year, the police will show up, see a group of rioters and a homeowner and be like, it's easier to arrest one person in their home than it is to deal with 60 violent people.

02:00:48.000 Weird.

02:01:04.000 And that they're susceptible to political pressure.

02:01:07.000 And that when it comes to it, like, there are a lot of cops, right?

02:01:11.000 A lot of cops are not sympathetic to these left-wing rioters.

02:01:15.000 That's not what police are.

02:01:16.000 But they know their higher-ups are going to get them in trouble.

02:01:20.000 They might be on the news.

02:01:21.000 They might be on this.

02:01:22.000 And so they just go with what's easier.

02:01:24.000 And there's no reason to suspect.

02:01:26.000 I mean, just look at the 20th century.

02:01:27.000 Do you think that the enforcement arm of the state is not willing To just kind of do what is expedient, even at the violation of human rights?

02:01:37.000 I mean, we're not different creatures than the Russians or the Germans or any of them.

02:01:42.000 It's the same structure.

02:01:43.000 It's a state and an armed agent of the state enforcing the rules.

02:01:47.000 Bear in mind says I got laid off and was making $9.50 a week from unemployment.

02:01:51.000 And my dad, who didn't get laid off, was only making $800 for 60 hours.

02:01:54.000 He wasn't happy.

02:01:56.000 That's why UBI doesn't work. 0.97

02:01:56.000 Wow. 0.97

02:01:57.000 Because the people who still have to work because humans are still needed for labor are going to revolt against those in the capital who aren't working but are getting access to their resources.

02:02:06.000 Imagine if every day... Actually, this is true.

02:02:09.000 Imagine if every day you built a birdhouse and the government came and just took half your birdhouses away and gave it to people who weren't working.

02:02:13.000 Hey, that's kind of happening today, isn't it?

02:02:15.000 No, no, it'd be like if you're building a birdhouse and they came and gave you birdhouse parts that you didn't need as they were giving everyone else birdhouse parts.

02:02:22.000 No, but see, the flaw in that logic is thinking that there is this unlimited supply of birdhouse parts.

02:02:28.000 They have to be made.

02:02:29.000 So the idea is like if somebody's working their tail off and making $2,000 a week for it, and then somebody else does nothing and gets $1,000 a week for it, that is going to build resentment from the people who are producing the wealth.

02:02:44.000 It's this simple, bro.

02:02:46.000 Imagine you pay rent to live in a house and some dude's sleeping on your couch and he doesn't work and he's eating all your food.

02:02:52.000 He better be paying me half of his UBI.

02:02:53.000 He's not paying you anything.

02:02:55.000 He better be if he's living in my house.

02:02:56.000 This is what UBI is.

02:02:58.000 It's putting a layabout on your couch who isn't working but is getting a portion of your stuff. 0.99

02:03:03.000 If you are working every day to make something of value for society, and there is someone who is not doing anything, that money has to come from somewhere.

02:03:11.000 And if they can't take it from you because you'll freak out, they will print money devaluing your money and your resources, giving it to this person, and then shows up and says, hey Ian, I'll give you a hundred bucks of... Imagine this.

02:03:21.000 You're like, you better give me half your UBI if you're living in my house.

02:03:24.000 And he laughs and goes, it's your money anyway, I don't care.

02:03:26.000 The money came from your labor.

02:03:28.000 Sure, you can have half of it.

02:03:29.000 I'll take your stuff.

02:03:30.000 You're still losing your stuff to a layabout.

02:03:33.000 No, in that situation I'd be making more than I was losing.

02:03:35.000 In that situation.

02:03:36.000 I think the problem is that they're printing money.

02:03:38.000 The Federal Reserve can just endlessly print money.

02:03:40.000 Where do you think they're going to get the money from UBI for?

02:03:40.000 Right.

02:03:43.000 From printing endless money from the Federal Reserve?

02:03:45.000 Well, they want to tax corporations.

02:03:46.000 AOC said we should be deficit spending.

02:03:48.000 I think Andrew Yang said that we need to tax corporations for a value-added tax.

02:03:55.000 I just don't understand how we can even talk about taxing corporations.

02:03:58.000 Just stop giving them taxpayer money.

02:04:02.000 Can we work on that first?

02:04:03.000 Once we achieve that, then maybe I'll entertain the conversation about whether we're going to then take their money back.

02:04:10.000 You know, it's like if you're talking about giving someone a blood transfusion, but you're actively draining blood from them.

02:04:16.000 Like, okay, could you stop doing that first?

02:04:19.000 They used to do that.

02:04:20.000 Yeah, I know, but that's what we're doing right now.

02:04:23.000 We're taxing working people and giving that money to corporations, and then having these abstract conversations about whether the corporations are paying their fair share.

02:04:32.000 How about they just have to survive or fail on their own, at least as a starting point?

02:04:37.000 Dude, we're paying $20 trillion back to Fannie and Freddie Mac over 20 years or something.

02:04:42.000 $20 trillion?

02:04:43.000 All right, Madison McAfee says, I was wrongfully arrested to an FTA for a court case I went to for a noise violation and even got the charge dropped, but they didn't file it.

02:04:54.000 36 hours in DeKalb County Jail minus $1,000 was told I couldn't sue because they'd claim negligence.

02:05:00.000 That's justice system. 1.00

02:05:01.000 Wow.

02:05:02.000 Yep.

02:05:03.000 That's right.

02:05:06.000 Aiden B. Dunyon says, Hey Tim, love the show and the guests you have here in Oklahoma.

02:05:11.000 They banned Critical Theory, and now the Dems are trying to argue that banning it violates their First Amendment rights.

02:05:16.000 Let me just make something clear.

02:05:18.000 The First Amendment doesn't protect the state's rights to speak.

02:05:21.000 It protects the people's right to speak, and it protects their right to speak from the government, from the state.

02:05:26.000 I think it's funny that these schools are like, this is a free speech issue.

02:05:29.000 We don't have to force the state to say anything.

02:05:31.000 We can tell the state they're not allowed to speak.

02:05:34.000 The people can speak.

02:05:35.000 Well, that's like, I mean, saying, like, if you banned a public school from teaching that, you know, two plus two equals five or prayer, it's like whatever you want to call it.

02:05:43.000 I mean, like, no, you have every, you know, it's reasonable to set standards.

02:05:46.000 Isn't it funny how they're like, they want to restrict prayer in schools.

02:05:51.000 And now they're acting like we should be able to restrict the things like we couldn't restrict speech in schools.

02:05:54.000 Like, prayer is protected under the First Amendment.

02:05:56.000 But by the way, critical race theory is just their prayer.

02:05:59.000 You know what I mean?

02:05:59.000 Exactly.

02:06:00.000 It's their religion.

02:06:01.000 Yep.

02:06:06.000 A. Skidlov says, learned about Dave through comedy and now I'd vote for him for president.

02:06:11.000 Smith-Gabbard 2024 with Malice as press secretary.

02:06:13.000 Let's go.

02:06:15.000 Alex Jones wants to get involved too.

02:06:16.000 Can I, is there, is there an amount of money I have to earn and spend to make Michael Malice the press secretary?

02:06:21.000 No, that's, this is a, we worked this out already.

02:06:23.000 He said he will do it for one Bitcoin a month.

02:06:27.000 No, no, no, no.

02:06:28.000 I don't mean to pay a salary.

02:06:29.000 I mean, how do we actually get an administration to win that results in a malice prosecutory?

02:06:34.000 That's going to cost more than a Bitcoin.

02:06:36.000 A billion dollars.

02:06:37.000 That's going to be that's going to be more because you're fighting the establishment.

02:06:39.000 So you'd need like 10 billion.

02:06:41.000 But it's only what 10 billion could buy you, which is airtime.

02:06:43.000 Listen to this.

02:06:44.000 What it's going to start as is Michael Malice just being the communication director of a campaign, which will be fun enough on its own.

02:06:52.000 Just him just wrecking everybody.

02:06:55.000 You have to run for the Libertarian Party because then you would actually be getting press coverage and Michael Malice would be the communications director.

02:07:01.000 Well, this is the plan.

02:07:02.000 This is the plan, sir.

02:07:04.000 But then you told me I have to.

02:07:06.000 You're not officially running or anything, right?

02:07:07.000 As a Libertarian, I can't do it now.

02:07:11.000 No, I am seriously considering it and I'll tell you, if I do it, it's gonna be an epic campaign.

02:07:21.000 It's gonna be something that there won't have been a Libertarian run like this since Ron Paul because I will utilize everyone.

02:07:29.000 Michael Malice, Like you, like everybody who's good at what they do will be doing it.

02:07:34.000 And it's not, it's not about like, my thing isn't like, oh, I want to achieve political power and then use it for this or that.

02:07:41.000 The whole point is to just really spread a message.

02:07:45.000 And like you, like you always say, like the libertarian message is great.

02:07:49.000 And that's what I think needs to be out there and to call out all these power brokers for their hypocrisy.

02:07:55.000 There's contradictory libertarian messages, you know what I mean?

02:07:57.000 There are pro-borders and anti-borders libertarians.

02:08:00.000 Because people disagree on the extent to what libertarian really means, I guess.

02:08:05.000 Well, OK, sure, there are people who disagree on that.

02:08:07.000 But the major problem, even with the border crisis, is all government created.

02:08:12.000 I mean, the whole thing is like, OK, so we have a war on drugs.

02:08:16.000 So then there's these people smuggling all these drugs.

02:08:18.000 And then we have a welfare state that incentivizes all of these people in there. 0.99

02:08:22.000 We subsidize that.

02:08:23.000 Then we subsidize the war against immigrants. 0.95

02:08:25.000 Then we have easy birthright citizenship, which subsidizes people coming in. 1.00

02:08:29.000 The whole thing is a government mess to begin with.

02:08:32.000 So I'm with you.

02:08:33.000 I wouldn't like suggest like Yep.

02:08:34.000 right now under current conditions we just have open borders but I would recognize that

02:08:38.000 the whole thing is a government mess to begin with.

02:08:42.000 And the problem is always the government.

02:08:44.000 The problem is always the rulers.

02:08:47.000 It's kind of like every time they plug a hole another hole bursts out and they keep trying

02:08:51.000 to just you know maybe just be like nah you need to let things chill.

02:08:55.000 Yeah, we need a new system, like a decentralized social network system that is government-backed.

02:09:00.000 We can build floating islands with fusion power.

02:09:02.000 I mean, the tech is there.

02:09:04.000 Ian's right, we need a decentralized, more like automatic system of border security.

02:09:09.000 I'm thinking like auto-defense turret, 50 BMG full-auto.

02:09:13.000 I'm kidding.

02:09:14.000 Well, I was, look, I was saying the last time I was on this show, I really believe this, that decentralization, some type of scaling back of the power of the federal government is like, just in a medical sense, the only thing that could save this country.

02:09:29.000 Because we are on a suicide mission right now.

02:09:31.000 And the culture war and all of this is related to it.

02:09:33.000 It's everyone jockeying for a position for who controls the federal government.

02:09:37.000 This is why it spikes every four years when it's your president or my president's going to win.

02:09:41.000 The debt is out of control.

02:09:43.000 The money printing is out of control.

02:09:45.000 We're obviously going off the cliff.

02:09:47.000 And the only answer here is to scale that.

02:09:50.000 Well, that's a pretty solid start.

02:09:53.000 Scale this thing back more local control more community control less federal

02:09:58.000 control and that's the only thing that can say you can go to apps where people

02:10:02.000 can choose where their tax dollars go things all right we got super chat from

02:10:06.000 dr. doctor he says what I'm saying I think means seeing as it is what I'm

02:10:11.000 saying is as an air traffic controller with a which is a highly complex

02:10:14.000 situationally aware job it was becoming more and more automated

02:10:18.000 If that kind of work is becoming automated, even coding is getting closer to being more automated and needing less coders.

02:10:25.000 Coding language, like could you imagine, what's the standard code people use, like basic?

02:10:29.000 Or binary, I suppose.

02:10:31.000 Could you imagine like hard coding something and just binary?

02:10:34.000 No, we make coding languages that basically simplify the process and become easier and easier.

02:10:38.000 C-sharp.

02:10:39.000 Have you seen, in your experience with Mines, any advancements in AI writing the code?

02:10:44.000 Oh, there was a new AI programming language that could generate programs automatically that MIT just put out, but Yeah, I mean, that's happening.

02:10:55.000 Code that creates code.

02:10:56.000 Well, I mean, it's just... You're making more advanced code.

02:11:00.000 So it simplifies to where... Look at website development.

02:11:03.000 When I started making websites, I was doing actual HTML and things like that, right?

02:11:07.000 Way back in the day.

02:11:08.000 And I started animating in Flash, and I was like, oh, this is great.

02:11:10.000 Now we're at a point where it's like you drag and drop things.

02:11:13.000 It's like, element, element, element, and then boop.

02:11:13.000 You know?

02:11:15.000 Just drag and drop.

02:11:16.000 My favorite thing is when some of these geniuses will come out and they're like, OK, this AI thing is really dangerous.

02:11:22.000 But then they just go back to working on the AI after that.

02:11:25.000 It's like we can't even control it.

02:11:26.000 We're like, yeah, all right, this might be a problem, but I'm going to keep doing it.

02:11:29.000 Ethical question about AI.

02:11:31.000 If you make the software code free for the AI so you know what it's doing, you can watch its software progress.

02:11:37.000 Can you make it so it doesn't make itself proprietary?

02:11:40.000 Or is AI just in general can just disregard its own license?

02:11:43.000 AI is not so self knowledgeable that it can dictate its own accessibility to humans.

02:11:51.000 I think that people...

02:11:52.000 I think that AI is a lot more... There are risks, but it's not like this alien force of higher intelligence that's attacking us right now.

02:12:05.000 I mean, we have the capability to control it.

02:12:08.000 People think AI is going to be like Skynet and the Terminators.

02:12:08.000 There you go.

02:12:12.000 They think it's going to be like Ultron. 0.78

02:12:13.000 In order to end all war, humans must be wiped out.

02:12:16.000 In actuality, what's going to happen is, The A.I.

02:12:18.000 If you turn on an AI to like manage the economy, all of a sudden one day you'd wake up and there

02:12:23.000 would be no shirts, no shoes, a ridiculous amount of socks, and tons of corn everywhere.

02:12:28.000 And you'd be like, wait, how do we get to the point?

02:12:30.000 The AI is a communist?

02:12:31.000 No, because the AI would, isn't going to do what you think it's going to do.

02:12:35.000 It would take probably millions upon millions of iterations and simulations to get to the point where it functions properly.

02:12:40.000 And even then, after, you know, 10 billion calculations, it for some reason finds we've straight, you know, let me slow down.

02:12:48.000 Here's what I explain to people in the future.

02:12:51.000 We have an AI-regulated economy.

02:12:53.000 You wake up, you're like, time to go to work.

02:12:54.000 You look at your phone, and it gives you an address.

02:12:56.000 You show up, and there's like a jagged piece of metal on top of a box.

02:12:59.000 You pick it up, and your phone says, give it to this guy.

02:13:01.000 You walk over to some guy, you give it to him.

02:13:02.000 And then he says, thank you, and he walks away.

02:13:04.000 And then, bloom!

02:13:05.000 A thousand dollars in your bank account.

02:13:06.000 And you're like, I have no idea what I just did or why.

02:13:08.000 Because the A.I.

02:13:09.000 would be creating jobs you wouldn't understand or even think of, and then you wouldn't even know what was going on.

02:13:15.000 And that's assuming the A.I.

02:13:16.000 is actually working in a way to streamline the process.

02:13:18.000 The A.I.

02:13:19.000 can only do what its essentially base program tells it to do, so it might be like, corn is food, corn is cheap, corn takes less energy than other forms of energy, make corn.

02:13:28.000 And then one day you go to the store, there's no beef, there's just a bunch of corn.

02:13:31.000 And you're like, uh, maybe this A.I.

02:13:33.000 thing isn't doing what it's supposed to be doing.

02:13:34.000 The problem then is, if that happens over the period of a few generations, people won't realize, and then you'll end up in a future where there's just only corn and other weird products and people are eating, like, protein cubes.

02:13:45.000 Because the AI isn't going to do what you want it to do.

02:13:47.000 And here's the best example.

02:13:49.000 YouTube created an algorithm for finding the best content.

02:13:53.000 They said, what do people like?

02:13:55.000 They love shows that are long, like Game of Thrones.

02:13:58.000 So we need something that has the right keywords in it, that's long-form content, and appeals to a wide audience.

02:14:05.000 So they create this algorithm.

02:14:06.000 What happened?

02:14:08.000 People started cranking out videos of Hitler and the Incredible Hulk singing nursery rhymes together with this weird crappy CGI because it was generating more views.

02:14:17.000 Those weren't specifically the videos that were the result of the 10-minute algorithm, but it was because of babies.

02:14:23.000 So the YouTube algorithm was like, Tons of, you know, we get way, the largest percentage of views come from this one area.

02:14:30.000 They seem to like these themes, promote these videos.

02:14:34.000 So then people started auto-generating videos, and the ones that worked on YouTube were insane mishmash of garbage nonsense that made no sense. 0.93

02:14:41.000 The Hulk in a bikini with a Hitler, but Hitler's actually got boobs, and it's doing, I'm not kidding, it's a real video. 0.76

02:14:47.000 And there were thousands upon thousands of them.

02:14:49.000 So the human thought, people like these things.

02:14:52.000 Program it in. 0.57

02:14:53.000 And then the AI over time started developing a taste for the most insane nonsense.

02:14:58.000 And then so the humans who were making those videos were gaming the system.

02:15:02.000 So the humans were smarter than the AI and were able to game.

02:15:05.000 No, no, no.

02:15:06.000 All they knew was this is what was getting traffic.

02:15:09.000 No, but I'm saying the people who were making those videos with the Hitler with boobs on them and stuff like that, they were gaming the AI system.

02:15:16.000 They figured out how to do it.

02:15:16.000 Seriously?

02:15:18.000 Go on YouTube and search Finger Family Hitler and you will see this video.

02:15:23.000 It's a woman's body with a bikini with Hitler's head with the Incredible Hulk and he's doing Tai Chi and it's singing a nursery rhyme that was recorded by some dude in India into a microphone from the 80s.

02:15:32.000 I mean it, 100%.

02:15:32.000 And this has been a problem for a long time.

02:15:34.000 A lot of views?

02:15:35.000 This particular video has like 30 or 40,000, but there was a period... Still more than it deserves.

02:15:40.000 There was a period where there were hundreds of millions of these videos because there was a big problem where there was a trend of videos that were like little kids getting injections and urinating at each other because that's what was getting traffic.

02:15:55.000 So because of that, That's what YouTube was promoting.

02:15:59.000 People made more and more and more of it, which created a feedback loop.

02:16:02.000 The more they made, the more views it got, the more it refined into a point where insane stuff dominated YouTube and people were watching this stuff.

02:16:11.000 The same thing is true of politics.

02:16:13.000 So social media creates an algorithm saying, show us the things that get the most watch time and have the most keywords.

02:16:19.000 And what happened was intersectional feminism. 1.00

02:16:22.000 So I've explained this before, right?

02:16:24.000 If an article about racism gets X views, and an article about sexism gets Y views, an article about racism and sexism gets X plus Y views, and in some instances it gets XY views, so multiplication, and so YouTube starts promoting whatever has the most keywords in it.

02:16:37.000 So when someone would write an article being like, Democratic trans women of color fighting with Republican alt-right neo-Nazis is the fight of our generation, it would get ridiculous amount of clicks, because the algorithm would be like, look at all these keywords!

02:16:50.000 Feed it out to all of these people and they would see it.

02:16:53.000 That made people go insane.

02:16:54.000 So Facebook was dominated absolutely by police brutality videos because it got so much engagement.

02:16:59.000 Rage, justice, people would share it being like, I must do something.

02:17:03.000 Then we ended up with the past 10 years of intersectionality because BuzzFeed, Huffington Post, Vox, Mike all realized that's how you would make money.

02:17:11.000 That's what people wanted.

02:17:13.000 The people didn't really want that content.

02:17:15.000 They were just being fed it by the algorithms on these social networks.

02:17:18.000 So, long story short, we think the AI will be Skynet?

02:17:21.000 Nah, it's just gonna scream in your face, Nazi, 50 billion times.

02:17:24.000 It's possible that that was a machine learning algorithm instead of an artificial intelligence.

02:17:28.000 Right, right, I understand the difference.

02:17:29.000 So I'd love to get an AI specialist on here someday to go deep into that.

02:17:32.000 Like, the difference between machine learning and AI.

02:17:35.000 Right, right.

02:17:35.000 They're not the same thing, right.

02:19:25.000 IanCrosland.net.

02:19:25.000 For those that aren't familiar, we were talking about not getting dragged into these troll arguments where like someone will argue on Twitter.

02:19:32.000 And then as soon as you counter their argument, they'll change the subject.

02:19:34.000 And then Ian just goes, yeah, don't fight an alligator underwater.

02:19:37.000 And I was like, That was very profound.

02:19:39.000 That's a great way to put it.

02:19:41.000 Yeah.

02:19:41.000 That is, yes.

02:19:42.000 I'm on land.

02:19:46.000 Yep.

02:19:46.000 Trying very much to stop.

02:19:47.000 They'll say something to you where it's like, Joe Biden's the greatest.

02:19:51.000 And you'll say, well, I personally take issue with Joe Biden's policy on this. 0.97

02:19:54.000 And they'll go, yeah, well, you're a Nazi, so you are a bigot. 0.97

02:20:03.000 Just tell him you love him and walk away.

02:20:05.000 Yeah, there you go.

02:20:07.000 On Facebook, I usually just say, like, because I don't, like, I don't try to, I don't insult people.

02:20:11.000 So I'll post something and then someone will start yelling at me because people are nasty.

02:20:14.000 And I'll just be like, I'm sorry, I don't understand why you're so upset right now.

02:20:18.000 And they'll be like, well, I'm just saying it.
