Josie, the Redheaded Libertarian, joins us to talk about Joe Biden's border wall plan, Ron Paul's new book, and why the Libertarian Party is not as bad as they think they are. Plus, we talk about Jordan Peterson and why he's not a racist.
00:00:41.000at his latest press event I suppose we heard one of the most powerful
00:01:06.000powerful statements from the president about building that
00:01:08.000Strangely, it wasn't Donald Trump, it was Joe Biden, who said he wants to restart construction on the wall because there's been an ongoing crisis at the border that's been exacerbated by Joe Biden himself.
00:01:21.000Talk about amazing hypocrisy and an amazing I told you so like what do you say to all these people who voted for Biden where it's like oh you know all that stuff Trump was doing turns out it was working and then you voted for Biden to do something else and within a few months he realized what Trump was doing was working now you got the B team because Donald Trump Compared to Joe Biden, was it?
00:01:39.000I hate to say it, but Donald Trump was the A team.
00:02:39.000Of course, they'll call a conservative a Nazi, but when it comes to literal Nazis, like the Red Skull, they're like, let's model them after Jordan Peterson, who is a mainstream and popular personality among regular people.
00:02:51.000Sure, they might try and claim that Jordan Peterson is fringe or whatever, but if you actually look at Jordan Peterson and the coverage he's gotten, New York Times bestseller, new book coming out, he's appeared on talk shows, not super political, not super controversial.
00:03:03.000That's what they're claiming is the bad guy?
00:04:31.000Now there was like, apparently a couple years ago, there was a debate over whether or not an individual should be allowed to sell drugs to kids.
00:04:53.000There's things that the Libertarian Party nowadays skews to the point where I don't even like to associate with it.
00:05:02.000I started this as a Ron Paul Libertarian, a small L, understanding property rights, self-ownership, personal responsibility, accountability, and the non-aggression principle.
00:05:15.000And it's devolved into this, like, Marxist, like, all the talking points.

00:07:27.000We're doing about four per week, which means we've been doing this for a few months.
00:07:30.000There's probably several dozen videos that you could watch from all of your favorite guests, like James O'Keefe, like Seamus from Freedom Tunes, and Jack Murphy, and even Michael Malice.

00:07:43.000This is where we will have all of our content.
00:07:45.000And, uh, we had to set it up because, as you've seen with, like, Steven Crowder, for instance, yeah, they're getting ban-happy.
00:10:09.000And what's actually happening, because ABC, I think ABC and NBC journalists interviewed some illegal immigrants who are like, oh, it's because Joe Biden says he's going to be nice and he's giving us an opportunity to come.
00:10:22.000So you actually had, I can't remember who it was.
00:10:24.000I think it might've been CNN, where they were like, you can't deny this.
00:10:28.000You actually have, oh, no, no, no, I'm sorry.
00:11:38.000Um, so I think a lot of that was how he would have behaved as, you know, a personality and then being like, Oh my gosh, I'm, I'm running for president.
00:11:45.000I can't, I can't say things like that anymore.
00:11:47.000However, because of things like that, imagine what these other countries must've been thinking when it's like, imagine you're, you know, like Iran or something.
00:11:56.000And they're like, well, we need you to go and have this meeting with Donald Trump.
00:11:59.000And the guy goes, What am I gonna say to that guy?
00:12:24.000You've got a lot of people who want to come to this country.
00:12:26.000And I said this before, I'll say it again, because I love saying it.
00:12:28.000I have infinitely more respect for illegal immigrants who are willing to crawl through, you know, walk through vast swaths of desert, risking their lives, going on a thousand mile journey, because they think America is that awesome.
00:12:41.000As opposed to these woke leftists who are like, America is racist and awful.
00:13:05.000And they're like, you could risk this huge journey and they're going to they're going to kick you out into Mexico with the remain in Mexico policy.
00:13:12.000Now with Joe Biden, it's like doors open.
00:13:33.000And what, what they tried doing was smearing Trump by saying like, uh, Trump proposed a big, beautiful wall, 30 foot concrete from sea to shining sea.
00:13:42.000And they were like, you're not going to build 2000 whatever miles of wall.
00:13:47.000Then what happens is, when Trump gets in and he finally gets the funding, he starts reinforcing select areas where there's serious problems.
00:14:53.000But yeah, you could see the wall, and we went a little further out.
00:14:56.000And you could see the, uh, I can't remember exactly what it, it's like fencing and you see the trucks driving along it.
00:15:02.000Well, so what happened was Donald Trump wanted a big concrete wall and I guess CBP and ICE, they were like, CBP said, you don't want a wall because we need to see on the other side of it.
00:15:12.000So they're like, what if we do like fencing and then a wall on top and they're like, we need to see on the other side of it.
00:15:16.000They made windows, like you can walk through the wall.
00:15:19.000Yeah, yeah, just open like a regular old window with an apple pie on it.
00:16:43.000Cuz otherwise I just want people to assimilate into the culture That is a good point assimilation is a good point.
00:16:50.000I wonder maybe if they should commit to learning to speak English like yeah, you know like something Something on those lines, as opposed to already knowing the English.
00:17:00.000I might not have the means to learn it.
00:17:02.000I understand the point, but I kind of feel like maybe Americans should learn more languages, too.
00:17:16.000If we learn Spanish, it's cultural appropriation.
00:17:17.000I read that somewhere, so it must be true.
00:17:19.000Remember those ladies who were making tacos in Portland or whatever, and they got shut down?
00:17:24.000And the story was like, they would look through the windows at Mexican restaurants to like, see how things were done and that was stealing.
00:17:29.000And I'm like, dude, most of these restaurants, there's like, they have the abuelita making the corn tortillas in front of everybody to show you it's like real fresh.
00:17:38.000And it's just, it's like corn flour and water, you know what I mean?
00:17:41.000And you just like, and you put on the thing.
00:17:43.000It's just authentic when you got the nice little, you know, grandma, she's making it for you.
00:17:47.000Right when you walk in, there's like the grill and there was a little, you know, Mexican grandmother and she's smiling and waving and she's making tortillas and I was like, this is gonna be the best taco I've ever had.
00:17:57.000But apparently I'm not supposed to like that.
00:18:00.000You have these restaurants and they're like, we want people to enjoy this stuff.
00:18:12.000I do get your point about speaking English because if people can't talk to each other, it's hard for them to work together.
00:18:18.000So I saw that when I went to Sweden, when you had the Somali migrants and refugees from 20 years ago, When they weren't properly integrated, they created their sort of own community that didn't work properly with the Swedish, you know, like, community.
00:21:43.000We need to be able to communicate with each other to a certain degree.
00:21:46.000So, I don't know how you solve for that.
00:21:49.000I do agree with you on the refugee point, though.
00:21:51.000Economic migrants who are coming here for work and for jobs, Should be able to interact and work with other people and that requires probably a basic level of English.
00:22:02.000Because we are a predominantly English speaking country, you know?
00:22:12.000I really enjoy working and I like being able to talk to all you guys.
00:22:15.000But at the same time, if you want to be able to actually be a part of the culture that you're in, you have to be able to speak well enough in the language that whatever country that you're in that you have to be able to like go out and meet in groups.
00:22:25.000You have to be able to meet other people who already live there.
00:22:27.000I do think that fluency is a huge benefit to people who come to the US.
00:22:31.000I wonder if this multiculturalism is something that's been in America for a long time, and I wonder if it's one of the reasons we see things in the United States we don't see in other parts of the world in the same levels.
00:22:44.000So, actually, that probably makes no sense.
00:22:47.000I was gonna say, like, when you look at certain police brutality instances, it's interesting if you go to a country like Sweden or Norway, which are overwhelmingly white, And they say, oh, but we don't have these things.
00:22:59.000And I'm like, perhaps race plays a role and there's some kind of racism that can go in any direction.
00:23:04.000That doesn't exist in a homogenous community where they all agree, speak the same language, and do the same thing.
00:23:21.000You cross from Archer on the south side, you go past Cicero, and the billboards are now in Spanish.
00:23:26.000You go the other direction, and then you got a bunch of signs in Polish.
00:23:29.000So how are these people going to, you know, interact or work with each other when they're just like very distinct and separate culturally, morally, and linguistically?
00:23:38.000I feel like that could lead to an inability for people to come together and work together.
00:24:33.000He went to Florida, I guess. But he's born in Poland. He moves here. He grows up speaking English.
00:24:38.000He talked about how it was not so easy for him because when he came here he didn't.
00:24:42.000But then he did and now he's an extremely, in my opinion, extremely important American
00:24:46.000defending American values. So that's why I'm not super concerned necessarily with
00:24:50.000people coming here who don't speak the language.
00:24:53.000If they can function and they can work and they can, you know, be a part of the community, their kids will grow up and it's really just about if we're doing a good, if we're doing right by our kids and teaching them, you know, important values.
00:25:04.000However, I guess that's not something we're doing entirely at this point.
00:25:10.000A lot of people don't want to have kids.
00:25:11.000They're talking about, oh, I can't raise a kid in this environment.
00:25:14.000And it's like, if you don't have kids, then who's going to have kids?
00:25:17.000It's going to be like idiocracy, you know?
00:25:18.000Well, a lot of it too, they're, they're excusing themselves to be able to extend their own childhood.
00:25:24.000You know, a lot of it is not that they don't want kids, maybe in a different life they'd want kids, but right now they're very, it's, it's a me generation.
00:25:31.000It's very, it's the most selfish generation.
00:25:54.000But more than that, I think kids should spend more time seeing what their parents do for a living, understanding the real world, and we should be treating kids like adults.
00:26:05.000The problem is, as generation to generation has come and gone, It seems like, it used to be, you had a kid, the kid had to grow up fast, there was war, there was death, there was famine, stop crying, you're 13, you're a man now.
00:26:20.000And that's like pretty brutal, and we're like, nah, we wanna be kinda chill.
00:26:24.000But we keep pampering the next generation.
00:26:26.000Now it's like kids are, I say kids, now you got people who are 26 years old, and they're like just getting out of college, and they've never had a job in their lives.
00:26:55.000Dude, I went to South America, the kids would be boat captains at the age of nine.
00:26:59.000You'd go down to the Amazon and they'd be like full-on running the show, nine-year-olds.
00:27:04.000Imagine being like 15 from one of these countries, you come to the United States, and you've been a boat captain running your own business, and then you come here and you see all these 15-year-olds sitting around picking their nose, and you're like, wow.
00:27:15.000How are these people going to, like, you know what it is, man?
00:27:18.000It is, it is Capital City, Hunger Games, man.
00:28:07.000I worked my family business when I was really young, so... Yeah, and a lot of, like, kids, like, I mean, I come from a family, a lot of them live up in rural Vermont, and they all own farms, and those kids have been, you know, Collecting eggs from the chickens since they were five, you know, you got a first job.
00:28:22.000Yeah, you got a You got to have a sort of responsibility a personal responsibility to become a you know Well-rounded person when you don't you end up with a bunch of woke me first you lack you end up lacking responsibility and accountability And that's kind of way that America's in chaos right now.
00:28:38.000No one takes any Responsibility for what they do.
00:28:41.000That's why it's crazy to me when when people come over off gas and they'll be like they'll look at my work schedule and be like you're crazy and I'm like I think you're crazy, man.
00:28:50.000Like, no offense to some of these people, but like, I used to work every weekend as well.
00:28:55.000Now weekend is partially administrative, with some time off to relax, go out to eat or whatever.
00:28:59.000But it's like, I work, you know, 8 to 4, and then I work 7 to 11 every day.
00:29:03.000And in between, all I'm doing is like, eating or exercising.
00:29:06.000It's like, all of my time is consumed.
00:29:07.000And I'm like, what would I do if I wasn't working?
00:29:24.000I think you have a hobby and you do your hobby and, I mean, you raise your family if you have a family.
00:29:29.000Yeah, I mean, I know there's a lot of people without purpose and so that's kind of a cancer right now in America too because they think they find a purpose is something you just want to commit your life to.
00:29:41.000Like a lot of people, especially the older generations, their purpose is their family.
00:29:46.000They have, you know, they've set money aside.
00:30:16.000Marvel Comics author Ta-Nehisi Coates compares Jordan Peterson to the Red Skull in the latest issue of Captain America, and this plays into purpose, accountability, responsibility, and for some reason the woke left desperately trying to defend Nazi ideology, probably because they share that ideology to a great degree.
00:30:34.000Those that aren't familiar, the Red Skull is quite literally a Nazi scientist in the Captain America comic.
00:30:39.000He was the villain for Captain America, and it was written when, you know, like, World War II and stuff.
00:30:46.000In this latest iteration, the Red Skull is apparently a YouTube self-help guru who is telling people to, like, the Ten Rules for Life or something.
00:30:56.000And I just love the idea How insane this comic is.
00:30:59.000Let me see if I can, uh, I'll pull up.
00:32:05.000These people are wads of cookie dough.
00:32:08.000They are puffy little pink marshmallows that you touch them slightly, it leaves a dent, and they start screaming because they've never experienced sensation of touch before.
00:32:16.000So you get someone like Jordan Peterson who's like, Clean your room.
00:32:20.000And it's like, how dare you tell me to do work?
00:34:21.000Like Ibram X. Kendi, for instance, said, the only solution to past discrimination is present discrimination, which is like identitarianism, which overlaps greatly with the Nazi ideology.
00:34:31.000And you have classical liberals who are like, be responsible for yourself.
00:34:35.000You know, the rights are for the individual and things like that.
00:34:39.000They're trying to villainize those who believe in freedom and liberty because they're authoritarians.
00:34:44.000And they want people to bow to their cult.
00:34:46.000So it's no surprise they're trying to liken Jordan Peterson to the Red Skull.
00:34:50.000The crazy thing about it, though, is what they're effectively doing is they're making Nazis look good, which is the creepiest thing about it.
00:35:02.000The left might call him controversial, but he appears on talk shows about a variety of issues.
00:35:07.000So for them to be like, the Red Skull is a Nazi and like, this is, you know, Jordan Peterson, it's like, are you trying to make it look like Nazis are mainstream and accepted in society?
00:35:18.000Because they want to use that as a boogeyman.
00:35:20.000So they soften the view and they defend it.
00:35:24.000So over at the comic, I'll show you a little bit more, this guy says, Captain America says, it's the same for all of them, young men, weak, looking for purpose.
00:35:34.000I found the flag, you found the badge, they found the skull.
00:35:37.000He tells them what they've always longed to hear, that they are secretly great, that the whole world is against them, that if they're truly men, they'll fight back.
00:35:46.000And bingo, that's their purpose, that's what they live for, and that's what they'll die for.
00:35:50.000It's kind of funny, this idea that like, Individualists are more likely to die for their ideals than a collectivist.
00:36:47.000They say, later at the conclusion of the issue, Redskull's followers proceed to overwhelm a wounded Captain America before he is rescued from his attackers by an armored Sharon Carter.
00:36:56.000In turn, Redskull takes footage of Roger's defeat and proceeds to use it in a propaganda video, appealing to the various racist and terroristic groups who have taken up his message by offering them a metaphorical sword of manhood.
00:37:06.000He says, What has happened to the men of the world is truly one of the great tragedies of our time.
00:37:11.000Once the American man was a conqueror, now he is but a caretaker.
00:38:14.000I also kind of think that they're just really dumb, and so they need something to be a villain, and they don't know, so they choose Jordan Peterson, and it literally makes no sense.
00:38:24.000Because if you actually look at Jordan Peterson, he's like, Nazis are bad.
00:38:28.000And they're like, well, that clearly means that Jordan Peterson's a Nazi, so...
00:38:31.000I'm guessing he probably sat there and he's like, all right, who are some self-help?
00:38:36.000You know, who are some mainstream conservative?
00:38:40.000Well, everybody they don't like is conservative.
00:38:43.000But you know, who are like, you know, he's pro-masculinity.
00:38:47.000So who are some big voices that are pro-masculinity?
00:38:49.000Because masculinity is evil right now.
00:38:59.000So you wonder if he sat there and they kind of went over different mainstream, you know, men who have a podium and just landed on him by like a roll of the dice too.
00:39:57.000Eventually, you're gonna get a bunch of dudes who are the epitome of toxic masculinity, and society's gonna be a bunch of wimpy, frail, scared, and effeminate men, and then the strong men will just walk in, take over.
00:40:13.000Also, another different direction would be like if people start creating new art forms, new comic books, a new comic company comes out with a new set of heroes that are legit, like more understandable and relatable, and we diverge evolutionarily.
00:40:26.000I don't think Homo sapien is the end of our route.
00:40:43.000I don't know what that has to do with comic books.
00:40:45.000Well, some of these weird critical race people might evolve into some bizarre self-hating race of violent humans.
00:40:52.000I really don't think that's a possibility because that would take hundreds of thousands of years for a divergence.
00:40:56.000But also, I think technology is speeding up our evolution.
00:40:59.000Right, but that's because we're incorporating technology into our bodies, which could ultimately mean we transform into some kind of robot creatures.
00:41:08.000But I want to say this in regards to Captain America, and you mentioned new comics and new movies and new shows, so one of the things I'm doing is actually just, I've been, I've received a few pitches for TV shows and movies and stuff, and we might, we're on the verge of basically green-lighting a comedy series, which is, it's gonna be on TimCast.com I imagine, And we're just gonna start doing more of that.
00:41:26.000Just making cultural stuff that's fun, funny.
00:45:03.000So here's what I think we end up seeing.
00:45:05.000We have a bunch of regular people who are not the geniuses that were Stan Lee, right?
00:45:11.000And so all they can do is take what someone else made and move it around.
00:45:15.000And you end up with the lowest common denominator.
00:45:18.000This Jordan Peterson comic is scraping the bottom of the barrel so hard, they've ripped through the bottom layer of wood and they're just pulling up dirt.
00:45:26.000They're not even getting barrel anymore.
00:45:28.000They just don't even realize they're in the dirt right now.
00:45:43.000It's the weirdest thing to not only repurpose it to such a degree that it's stupid, but then try and spin some mainstream critique that doesn't even work.
00:45:53.000It's one thing if you were like, the Red Skull is still a Nazi and he's got a plan to steal all the gold from Fort Knox and Captain America must stop him.
00:46:00.000You're like, all right, kind of generic, I guess, but it's about a Nazi and a guy fighting him.
00:46:04.000Now it's like he's on the internet making YouTube videos and it's like, wow, you've reached a whole new level of There is a metaphor between Hitler and the YouTube blogger, because Hitler basically was the first dictator to use mass media and whip a nation into a frenzy with video.
00:46:36.000They're all about collectivism and that's what the Nazis... We're all about the fascism of that.
00:46:41.000I would highly advise watching Jordan's breakout video where he's speaking to a group of students outside about not forcing compelled speech.
00:48:00.000Why I'm reticent to force my political views, no matter how benevolent I think they are, on other people.
00:48:05.000Because I know that is a phenomenon where we reflect our own negativity or project or refract or whatever.
00:48:12.000So I have this kind of hands-off approach to what I think other people should do, but sometimes there's such tragedy being invoked that I feel like I have to.
00:48:21.000But so does this guy, and that's what he's doing with this weird comic.
00:48:40.000Biden administration will not require COVID-19 vaccine passports, White House says.
00:48:45.000Jen Psaki says there will be no federal vaccinations database.
00:48:48.000Now, this is kind of to assuage the fears of people who think the government's going to mandate everybody get a vaccine passport, but they've long said we can't do that, we won't do that.
00:48:58.000The private sector will do that, which is still interesting because I'm not sure the private sector can do that because of a lot of laws that already exist.
00:49:04.000Non-discrimination laws, the ADA, etc.
00:49:07.000But I bring this up because we're talking now about libertarianism, authoritarianism, and what the government is or isn't allowed to do and what we should support.
00:49:15.000So we'll do a hard segue, I guess, and just because I want you to bring this up.
00:49:19.000You mentioned that the COVID vaccine passports are not legal because of So we have a right to medical privacy.
00:49:26.000Wait, just use the use the fancy buzzword.
00:50:40.000So it'd have to be up to you to expose that.
00:50:44.000But I feel like you could bring a civil rights violation against them trying to make you expose your medical rights to, like, buy milk.
00:50:50.000Right, there was a big thing with masks where people started saying that they had, they were like, they printed out these fake cards where it's like, I have a medical condition and I'm protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
00:51:00.000And then they would go and walk around and if someone at a store was like, you gotta wear a mask, they'd be like, no I don't, I have this card.
00:51:05.000Okay, sure, look, the card's not real, but I think the idea actually is.
00:51:09.000It's like, imagine if a store was like, you can't come in here because your legs are broken.
00:51:13.000You know, we don't want to risk the lawsuit if you fall and get hurt.
00:52:24.000I wonder if that is required, because if you're also immunocompromised, that should be taken into account as well, because I probably won't get it because I am.
00:52:30.000So look, the ADA data.org says, the Americans with Disabilities Act became law in 1990.
00:52:36.000The ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, school, transportation, public and private places that are open to the general public.
00:52:46.000The purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as
00:52:49.000everyone else The ada gives civil rights protections to individuals with
00:52:52.000disabilities similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race color
00:52:56.000Sex national origin age religion it guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public
00:53:02.000accommodation employment transportation state local government services and telecommunications
00:53:05.000So I wonder if they would argue That you know, okay
00:53:09.000So actually it says in 2008 the ada was signed into law and became effective on january 2009
00:53:17.000So, so the, it's the Americans with Disability Amendments Act.
00:53:21.000It made a number of significant changes to the definition of disability.
00:53:24.000The changes in the definition of disability apply to all titles of the ADA.
00:53:29.000So I have to go through the, all the changes, but I'm curious if your doctor says, I'm sorry, because of your condition, you are not able to get this vaccine.
00:53:42.000So for everybody listening, if your doctor says you should listen to your doctor, if your doctor says you should listen to your doctor, because I think, you know, you don't want to be getting advice from people on the internet.
00:53:49.000According to that, what you just read, it didn't say anywhere in there that, um, like a restaurant can refuse, cannot refuse service to someone because of a disability.
00:53:58.000It sounds like that law doesn't protect people.
00:54:25.000If you have a closed private membership only restaurant and someone walks in, it's trespassing.
00:54:31.000Typically, you still gotta warn people it's trespassing no matter what.
00:54:34.000But the general idea is, if it says open and you're allowing people in, it's a public accommodation.
00:54:39.000I mean, actually, it's more nuanced than that.
00:54:41.000Even a private membership business can still be considered a public accommodation.
00:54:45.000Like if someone says, I would like to join and become a member, and you say you can't because your disability, then they can sue you and say you're denying them a public accommodation.
00:54:52.000Could it be like this is a COVID vaccine only restaurant?
00:55:19.000I don't know if it's real, so again, take it all with a grain of salt, and I absolutely want to make sure I preface, a lot of these stories, you know, don't take one story as evidence of widespread anything.
00:57:07.000I saw a meme where it was like two, two lines going to two different kiosks and one line was like shots and pills and the line was saturated.
00:57:21.000Disability is defined according to this website as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a record of such impairment, or being regarded as having such an impairment.
00:57:32.000That's interesting because the vaccine passport is what would make it a disability.
00:57:36.000If, right now, your doctor's like, here's our advice to you, and for your, you know, you weren't advised because of your blood condition, you shouldn't get it.
00:58:14.000I don't want to, you know, carry a passport around with it that tells, you know, the stranger at the supermarket what's the matter with me.
00:58:23.000So this is the issue I take with the Libertarian Party, because the government isn't going to be the one starting the vaccine passports.
00:58:30.000They're, they're, oh no, we can't do it, and they can't.
00:58:59.000So I was talking earlier about libertarianism, how it's the spectrum from anarchy to constitutionalism.
00:59:06.000It's just a matter of how much government is necessary and how much government is needed.
00:59:12.000So an anarchist view would just be like, nope, we're just You know, they can do whatever they want until the cows come home and there's nothing we can do.
00:59:21.000And, you know, it's like, oh, for instance, it's like with what's going on social media.
01:00:49.000If you're actually for libertarian views, the little L, like true opposition to authoritarianism, it doesn't matter if it's a corporation or a government.
01:00:56.000They're both organizations, just in different capacities.
01:01:23.000Yeah, so you have some governments like that.
01:01:25.000Government is not the same thing everywhere, and corporations aren't the same thing everywhere.
01:01:30.000Both can monopolize power and cause problems.
01:01:33.000I happen to lean against, you know, the reason communism and socialism are bad is because it's a bunch of people sitting down going, I have an idea.
01:01:40.000Let's centralize all the power with one group of people.
01:01:42.000And it's like, that's a really bad idea.
01:01:44.000And then the problem I see with ANCAPS and the Libertarian Party is they're like, we should allow major corporations to slowly accrue power so that a small handful of individual elites control everything.
01:01:53.000And I'm like, what's the difference if your life is dictated to you by someone else?
01:01:59.000So we need to restrict corporate power and government power.
01:02:17.000Well, if you look at what these corporations are, we could have thousands and thousands of competitors.
01:02:26.000Everybody out there competing against each other and what was I saying that there are what there's there's like 10 10 businesses 10 corporations that just own everything they just own everything and what are some perks that they have they have they get billions in subsidies billions they they get special protections by the government and then you know they buy up their competition and so there's language in the 14th amendment for government granted monopolies, which if you're given the money and you're given the protections, you're probably granting their ability to exist.
01:03:24.000You don't get paid that much money, but then afterwards you get this permanent access pass to Capitol Hill, and all of a sudden now you can do lobbying.
01:04:04.000So they're just going to exist de facto.
01:04:06.000I hear a lot from the laissez-faire capitalists or ANCAP types, and they'll say things like, Tim, you're not talking about a real capitalism.
01:04:13.000Real capitalism, you're talking about corporatism and the government's interference, which creates these monopolies.
01:04:18.000It's only because of special access and special rules that the government holds back the competition and props up these big companies.
01:04:25.000And that's kind of true with Section 230, for instance.
01:04:27.000Empowers those that are massive to get away with whatever they want and then destroy their opponents.
01:04:31.000But I'm like, The idea that this isn't real capitalism just sounds like utopian to me.
01:05:01.000And the government just then grows and becomes massive, and then they effectively just create a rolling door between the massive multinational corporations and themselves.
01:05:08.000I mean, gotta elect people who are gonna be like, alright, you're a monopoly, we need to call you that, we need to get rid of you.
01:05:53.000We're in a weird place where centralized government, it still kind of works.
01:05:56.000Well, no, I mean, it kind of works, but we're building tech that allows us to decentralize the way we vote, the way we interact with each other via television and internet video and things like that.
01:06:06.000Well, we're on the cusp of like a new way of, like Putin and Biden could get on a YouTube video chat tomorrow and have a two hour live stream together.
01:07:21.000government just sat back and watched Bitcoin grow exponentially and did not buy large portions of the blockchain and set up servers all over the place?
01:08:46.000I don't know if we do not want the first solar war.
01:08:49.000I don't know if we'll get to that point because, you know, colonies on Mars or wherever else, they're going to require a stream of supplies.
01:08:59.000They're not going to be able to survive on their own without resources coming in for some time.
01:09:03.000Maybe in 50 years, 200 years, we'll have biodomes and we'll be taxing them and be like, we send you your supplies and they're like, not anymore!
01:09:10.000And they throw all the space tea into the space harbor.
01:09:31.000And so then we buy them anyway as like a goodwill gesture to like make it seem like we actually are buying something when in reality just like arbitrarily making them work in exchange for resources.
01:09:41.000They declare independence and they'll die.
01:09:50.000Speaking of Mars and aliens and whatever other nonsense we've been talking about, check this story out from the Daily Mail.
01:09:56.000Former director of the CIA, James Woolsey, says he was skeptical about aliens until a friend's aircraft was paused at 40,000 feet, and he hopes we can be friendly to the other creatures if they exist.
01:10:34.000The runabout the shuttle and then all of a sudden Deanna Troy is sitting there and everyone just freezes like stops
01:10:39.000in time And it's because there's fragments of space-time continuum
01:10:42.000moving like shattering all around them and they're mushroom So anyway to then hear the story. I'm like
01:10:49.000Check it out. He's Walsy said that stories always seemed pretty far out to me, but there was one case in which a friend of mine was able to have his aircraft stop at 40,000 feet or so and not continue operating as a normal aircraft.
01:11:58.000So Marco Rubio talked about it and he was like, whatever's going on with these things flying over our military installations, it's like a national security breach.
01:12:06.000Like our security has been breached and we don't know what it is.
01:13:24.000The general idea is like, if the universe is so vast and massive, and life does exist, then shouldn't we have found some evidence of intelligent life somewhere else at some point?
01:13:34.000And so then there's a bunch of answers people propose like there's the the great I think it was it called the great barrier or something I don't know the the great filter sorry that all life at a certain point wipes itself out for some reason one of them is the zoo hypothesis that earth is effectively a zoo and And that we're in a big cage where the aliens come to watch us and giggle at the stupid things that humans do.
01:13:55.000I think South Park called it Reality TV.
01:13:58.000That Earth was just a reality TV show for the aliens and they all watched and laughed at us.
01:14:01.000And then they cancelled us and they were going to blow the Earth up.
01:14:35.000We're sitting there going like, hello, like you're like, it's like the friend who walks like that, like the friend walks into the old cabin where the murderer is.
01:15:01.000I don't like the Fermi Paradox theory that if life is here, then why shouldn't we have found it?
01:15:06.000Because we just found out ice was on Mars like six years ago and that there's likely life within the frozen water and on Europa as well, one of Jupiter's moons.
01:15:16.000And we also speculate as to would intelligent life develop EMF technology and broadcast anything?
01:15:23.000It's really funny that we're like, we just started using radio waves and now we assume everybody to be using them?
01:16:07.000They could use a laser that flickers to broadcast data, and we're not going to see that from far away.
01:16:13.000You know, something that I was hearing that I don't know too much about this, but one thing that I heard that they shoot out into the universe is like math, because math is like universal.
01:16:23.000I mean, unless you live on Earth, when 2 plus 2 is 5.
01:16:26.000But they try to, they cast stuff like that out.
01:18:03.000Like, all of these world leaders are in this protective space-time bubble, as they're about to fire the Large Hadron Collider, and then they watch reality shift around them, and like, Hillary flickers and then turns into Trump, and now Trump's the winner, and they're like, What have we done?
01:18:17.000And the world leaders are like, we must fix this.
01:18:19.000And they try to fire up the Large Hadron Collider again, but then a magnet breaks.
01:18:22.000And they're like, oh no, the machine's broken.
01:18:52.000I'm like, someone turned themselves into this thing to stop this from happening and they're dead now.
01:18:58.000It's a squirrel, and it finds an acorn, the acorn's bouncing down the hill and it's chasing after it, and then it falls into a vent, the squirrel jumps in, and the squirrel's in the Large Hadron Collider, and it's falling right when he gets to the middle of it, the proton goes right through and mixes with squirrel proton of some sort.
01:19:52.000Yeah, everyone just got a single proton fired through their brains.
01:19:54.000And now they're all like, everything is woke.
01:19:56.000I heard this Incan scientist explaining the reason the pyramids are there is because protons are flying at Earth from outer space because the Earth's magnetic core is negatively charged because it's just iron.
01:20:09.000And so the protons fly through the surface of Earth, through our bodies, causing free radical damage.
01:20:14.000And then when they get close to the center of the Earth, the positive energy at the center forces it to repel and go
01:20:19.000flying back out and back through our bodies again.
01:20:21.000So they built these pyramids to channel the positive energy on its way back out and focus it through a point to gather
01:20:28.000it from the surroundings so it didn't cause free radical damage on the humans.
01:21:30.000Wikipedia says it's true, so it must be true.
01:21:32.000Tesla was tapping into it and trying to send electricity through the ground, and people obviously wanted to sell their copper wires, so they shut that down.
01:21:39.000But I think this technology might have something to do with that.
01:21:41.000These drones or these things that we're seeing flying around.
01:23:18.000timeline, then what I think is supposed to happen is Elon Musk
01:23:20.000will send a crew to Mars who will accidentally uncover an
01:23:24.000ancient temple where a bunch of invasive aliens were frozen by the
01:23:28.000Who will then be awoken by the astronaut, take over his body, or assume his form, come to Earth, and there will be a secret invasion, and, you know, the Justice League will have to form.
01:23:35.000There's a well-known theory that, I mean, facts are not endorsements, but there's a well-known theory that there was some kind of nuclear war between Earth and Mars, which used to be colonized, because of what, yeah, because of what, it's established, it's an established theory, you can look it up.
01:23:53.000So, yeah, so it's that there was some sort of Nuclear war, some sort of war between Earth and Mars, which we used to be like heavily colonized.
01:24:01.000And that's why Mars looks the way it does now.
01:25:12.000Wait, wait, I'm sorry, I gotta read this.
01:25:14.000The theory, explained by user Crackhead Joe Dirt, so you know it's verified, was put forward in response to the question, what's a conspiracy theory that absolutely blows your mind?
01:25:27.000Crackhead Joe Dirt states, Mars isn't naturally red.
01:25:31.000Want to know what can cause a planet to turn red and change after a couple million years?
01:25:35.000If enough nukes were to go off on a planet, the first thing that would happen is a nuclear winter.
01:25:39.000Nuclear winter is the aftermath of nuclear blasts, causing ash that is so thick it blocks out the sun.
01:25:43.000Nuclear winters can last anywhere from a hundred years and a thousand, depending on how much ash is in the atmosphere.
01:25:49.000After all the natural resources are drained up from the nuclear winter, the planet turns red from dust.
01:25:53.000My theory is that we've come from Mars after we drained all its natural resources and destroyed it with nuclear bombs.
01:25:59.000That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
01:26:53.000Unless I guess, no, it's the iron core.
01:26:55.000It's partly, ocean contributes a lot to it.
01:26:56.000So I guess what we would need to do is, like, drill to the center of Mars and then get, like, Ben Affleck and the gang to launch those nukes in sequential order, like in that movie.
01:27:08.000Look, I'm sorry, Crackhead Joe Dirt, I appreciate your attempt, but let me school you for a second.
01:27:13.000Humans started on Venus, and Venus was Earth-like.
01:27:16.000But a runaway greenhouse effect from mass consumption and carbon emissions resulted in global warming.
01:27:24.000And the pollution started creating acid rain, the ocean levels started rising, and then once the Venetian, whatever, Venus military of one country realized what was happening, they created the Ark Project.
01:27:37.000Where they took the DNA samples from as many animals and species as possible and put it onto a giant space vessel called the Ark that would ferry as many people as possible and many animals and creatures to Earth to get here because Venus was being destroyed.
01:27:52.000So they flee and then the Ark Project comes and the great flood sweeps over Venus It might explain octopuses.
01:27:58.000from global warming and then they land on earth and then what do we see in the
01:28:02.000fossil record the pre-cambrian explosion all of a sudden around the same time the fossil record just boom tons of
01:28:09.000different animals why because the Ark project dropped a bunch of the critters and
01:28:13.000then they started populating and then all started dying around the same time
01:28:16.000so now they appear in the fossil record as this great unexplainable
01:28:19.000elite I don't actually believe that but come on let's be real it's a way
01:28:22.000better conspiracy theory than Mars it might explain octopuses we don't know
01:28:27.000they look like the brain and stem creature inside our bodies
01:28:31.000And there's like weird DNA stuff and there's just, they don't make sense for Earth.
01:28:36.000This looks like a jungle planet that got superheated.
01:28:39.000It really looks like it used to be a jungle planet.
01:28:42.000We landed a drone there and it got, I think the Russians did, and it got crushed and just like melted or something.
01:28:46.000Yeah, I was watching this video where they claimed that we could make floating cities on Venus because the gases are so dense that we could make like floating platforms on gas.
01:28:54.000Just heated by like the geothermal heat from underneath?
01:29:39.000So are we just getting prepped for that with all this light pollution?
01:29:41.000No, look, we can look at the stars and we understand the universe exists because we can see the light that has reached us.
01:29:47.000But if the universe expands too, if it keeps expanding, eventually it'll be too far away for us to even see because the light will never reach us.
01:29:53.000All they'll have is our records and the teachers will teach the records until the records become racist and they're not allowed to teach them anymore.
01:30:15.000What if there was something where like, you know, interdimensional elves would randomly appear and then one day, you know, a thousand years ago, they all died off?
01:30:22.000So it would come out like... Plus, leprechauns don't exist.
01:30:27.000Like, you know, way distant out there, there are these things called stars and, you know, eventually it would fade into...
01:30:33.000And they would make movies about, like, stars coming to Earth and, like, giving people magic powers because they wouldn't understand what it actually was.
01:30:39.000I think the universe is rubberbanding.
01:30:42.000So it is accelerating now and it's getting bigger faster, but it will eventually slow back down and start to come back together and then pop again.
01:30:48.000That's called Big Crunch Theory and it was disproven a long, long time ago.
01:30:51.000I think there's a lot of those happening, like popcorning all over the multiverse.
01:30:55.000They initially, we had solid state theory.
01:30:57.000Do you know what solid state theory is?
01:31:01.000Then we had eventually Big Bang, the Big Bang theory that the universe is expanding.
01:31:06.000And from that we had a lot of people theorize something called the Big Crunch.
01:31:09.000That if the energy is being pushed out at a certain point, could it start coming back in?
01:31:13.000A better way to explain it is if gravity attracts, wouldn't at a certain point everything condense into singularities and then all start moving back towards each other?
01:31:23.000Wasn't he one of the ones that disproved?
01:31:26.000Didn't he, he thought everything was shrinking and he like wrote a whole thesis on it.
01:31:30.000And then he's like, now I'm going to disprove my own theory.
01:31:33.000And he wrote a whole thesis on how it's expanding.
01:31:36.000Yeah, so basically where we're at now is that the universe is actually accelerating faster and faster and faster as if the ball is rolling down the hill.
01:31:44.000At no point will the ball just stop and then roll back up the hill.
01:31:47.000Well, if it goes down and then goes back up and then back down and back up, you might start to see it.
01:31:51.000Because gravity's actually a pressure, it's pushing.
01:31:54.000It's not a pulling force, it's a pushing force.
01:31:57.000So it's possible that things are being expelled into a universe that's actually trying to push them back, but they're still in a rate of acceleration and will eventually be pushed back together.
01:33:44.000How about we go to Super Chats, everybody?
01:33:46.000My friends, if you're listening right now and you really want to help out the show, give us a like because your comments, your likes, your engagement, you're basically telling YouTube the show is good.
01:33:56.000So when you do that, it really does help us out.
01:35:53.000Not a serial killer says supporter since the beginning been following Tim since Wall Street Please shout out my man Brent's comic take the monkey and run on Kickstarter.
01:36:03.000Oh, there you go Take the monkey and run on Kickstarter.
01:36:05.000Mm-hmm All right the lukewarm gamer says do you think the fall of comics as the go woke has as they go woke has anything to do with anime and manga are getting more popular in the West as They're not woke Probably.
01:36:21.000Woke Captain America complaining about bigotry?
01:36:24.000Or, like, some dude who's a pirate and, like, can punch dudes from really far away and another guy who's, like, a swords guy with a sword in his mouth and he's, like, cutting people with it?
01:37:18.000He started a show where he would go around earth and look for people with real, like one guy could like magnetically stick pans to his head.
01:37:28.000One guy could like put bison to sleep with his energy.
01:37:31.000He had this like contortionist guy was the host.
01:38:22.000It was just coming and then it fell off his arm and then eventually grew legs and ran off.
01:38:26.000I think that we are fungus that ate other fungus.
01:38:30.000Like what happened was in the tide pool, there was all this plant matter and then there were all this fungus and some of the fungus ate plant matter and stayed fungus.
01:38:36.000Some of the fungus ate other fungus and became animal.
01:40:10.000Yeah, I do I was watching this show on travel channel the other day It was like the scariest places in the US or something And they did this really funny thing where they would
01:40:17.000interview someone in broad daylight and it was really not scary at all, but they would hold the
01:40:21.000camera at an angle, point it upwards, and then do something called feathering where it
01:40:25.000makes the rim around them look dark, and then they would just drop the brightness so it looks
01:40:29.000dark out and the camera's at an angle and point it up and then they would put eerie music
01:41:16.000I think what happened was in Italy, they needed a place to like get rid of bodies so they built catacombs, right?
01:41:20.000There was a party some college kids were having and they went down into like a very like not far in part of the catacombs, right?
01:41:28.000They were like in the beginning, I guess you could call it.
01:41:31.000And some girl went to go take a leak And so she went around the corner, took a leak, and then forgot how she got there, took a wrong turn, they found her weeks later starved to death, dehydrated, just dead in the catacombs because it's miles she got lost.
01:42:21.000James Harrelson says the Portland firebomber who was just indicted for last summer's terror riots, he is from Indiana and his name is Malik Mohammed, maybe Nation of Islam, just like the Capitol Hill barricade guy who also is from Indiana.
01:42:33.000Well, speaking of tinfoil, if you haven't smashed the like button, one thing you can do is go to TimCast.com and click shop, because we have the limited edition tinfoil gorilla available.
01:42:43.000It's very much the same as the regular I Am A Gorilla shirt, but he's wearing a tinfoil hat, and the I Am A Gorilla is written in black letters instead of white letters.
01:42:51.000I think this one will only be up for a little while, and then we'll eventually take it down, because it was just a special edition.
01:42:56.000Same thing is true for the Diamond Hands gorilla, which is, we got that one right there.
01:43:00.000Yeah, that's where he's the Wall Street guy.
01:43:01.000He's got a cigar, and he's holding, you know, stacks of cash.
01:43:23.000He's going to be a psychic gorilla who tells people how to improve their lives and offers them self-help and tells them to be responsible for themselves.
01:43:29.000And he can like smash stuff like a superhero.
01:43:54.000He lived in a cage but what happened was he gained his superpowers because while he was in the cage in the dark he began meditating and through the power of meditation he gained enlightenment And then started levitating in his cage, and when they found him, the cage had already dematerialized and he floated out into the sun.
01:44:10.000He developed connection to alien races through the meditation.
01:49:40.000Yeah, so there was like a period in Star Trek history where on Earth, everything was very authoritarian, and the cops would have these drug things that they would just like- Oh, like super soldier type.
01:49:52.000But there's an episode in The Next Generation where Q is wearing this like, police riot uniform with drugs on it, talking about the pathetic history of Earth or whatever.
01:50:24.000One Patriot says Jordan Peterson is a hero.
01:50:27.000He saved more lives than BLM ever will.
01:50:29.000He inspires millions to face their shadows and become their best self, which terrifies leftists because they want people to stay in the victim mindset.
01:54:52.000We have a 40 foot fifth wheel trailer because Luke convinced us to get one.
01:54:57.000And the idea is that we can actually have this studio set up in an RV.
01:55:02.000The plan is to drive out one weekend to like Nashville, do shows there all week, and then Friday night do a live show at a venue, then drive to Austin.
01:55:39.000Then we're also going to be hiring news editors, writers, and I said I was going to be doing this fact-checking thing where we rate news organizations, and that's a project.
01:55:45.000And the third most important thing is the Fediverse open-source subscription service plugin for people's websites.
01:56:14.000The idea is then, you don't need Patreon, you don't need any of these services, you'll just need your financial service provider, if you're running a business, maybe go to a bank, get a merchant account, or you use one of these existing financial services online, and then, all you gotta do is plug in, and people can sign up, and then on the first of every month, Whoever is using this open source stuff, you'll see your charge go to all your favorite creators on their websites, so you're a member of their sites instead of being a member to like Disney or whatever.
01:56:37.000So then you're getting a big, you know, a big plethora of, you're getting a plethora of content.
01:56:44.000We work with minds when we were building our sorting mechanism.
01:56:46.000We, you basically, you'd be subscribed if you're subscribed to, or you can see everyone.
01:56:51.000At some way, but then you can filter out words in addition to the things you want to see like what's trending hashtag
01:56:57.000this You can pick specific words that you want to not ever show
01:57:00.000up in your feed So we could do something like that too for search
01:57:03.000algorithms I mean the idea I guess is not only can you have your own
01:57:07.000subscription service that no one can ban you from People can donate monthly to your website to get access to
01:57:12.000your content. So your own private patreon, I guess But it also networks all the other websites
01:57:17.000So if you look at Discover, you'll see Ian's website, you'll see my website, you'll see Josie's website.
01:57:22.000And so it creates the social networking aspect just through each individual website.
01:57:25.000And then we create a directory website, you know, a node, showing all the different...
01:58:19.000Colo Blyson says, The Fermi Paradox says we've not found other life because we've studied less than zero point and then a bunch of zeros, 1% of the universe.
01:58:37.000What was that story where it's like, you know, I think it was like God said, don't look back or you'll turn to a pillar of salt or something.
01:58:46.000And so the ancient aliens people are like, it's a nuclear weapon and they're telling you to run because if you stop and turn back and watch, you'll get vaporized.
01:58:55.000The translation over generation for generation, it's you'll be turned to ash.
01:59:00.000You'll be disintegrated, turns into a pillar of salt.
02:00:40.000No, I'm talking about, um, like Noah's Ark.
02:00:44.000I'm just making a sci-fi version of it that a bunch of people had to build a giant ship to escape a giant flood and took two of each animal with them.
02:01:05.000For those that aren't familiar, there's a self-replicating AI that is basically stripping out organic matter and turning it into machines.
02:01:13.000And they realize they can't stop it at this point.
02:01:16.000And it's going to wipe out all organic life on the planet.
02:01:19.000So instead of trying to save the planet, what they do is they bury in these big laboratories machines that will terraform the planet back after the original AI dies out, because there's no more matter left.
02:01:30.000Then they'll have the activation of a new AI that starts rebuilding.
02:01:34.000So there's robotic deer, like robotic bears, trying to recreate the ecosystem.
02:01:39.000And then machines start cloning humans, and then they're born, and then society emerges.
02:01:43.000And so they're all, like, very tribal, but they have, like, remnants of ancient technology.
02:01:50.000Really, really... What's really amazing about it, in my opinion, is that it's a new, unique gameplay where you got, like, a bow and arrow, but you're fighting robots.
02:01:58.000So how do you actually, like, take out a robot with a bow and arrow?
02:02:01.000Hitting key points and, like, breaking panels off and then damaging the, you know, critical components.
02:03:37.000There was a funny, there was a funny thing on Twitter where someone was like, I bet Tim Paul doesn't even really skateboard, he probably just pretends.
02:03:43.000And I've got videos that have like, so my buddy Brett Novak, and I always, I always shout out his channel, it's YouTube.com slash Bradjic, and then he always matches me, messages me, because he's like, all of a sudden I saw a bunch of subscribers or something.
02:04:24.000Yeah, yeah, but then I have a couple clips from him that are like legit, like one's a nollie half hardflip lateflip, and one's a hang ten hardflip, and then at the end I do a hang ten hardflip lateflip, so it's all there.
02:04:34.000We actually did film one years ago, which was a full hang ten hardflip lateflip segment, but I, just too hard to do.
02:07:33.000I'm gonna make cultural content that is good for everybody, that is fun, that is entertaining and exciting with new superheroes, new concepts, with interesting stories.
02:07:51.000Maybe you'll like it, but I think it's a really great story and we got it animated.
02:07:54.000And so this is an example of some of the stuff we want to make, which I think you'll actually get a, you'll get a kick out of.
02:07:59.000So, uh, that being said, make sure you subscribe to this channel because we're very close to 1 million subscribers.
02:08:05.000And with your help, we will all make a Google, give us big, shiny, golden plaques, and then everyone will get one and we'll hang them up and it'll be great.
