Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Black Lives Matter Is Extorting Business For Money, Vandalize Those Who Oppose Them

00:00:00.000 In Louisville, Kentucky, a group of a group of Black Lives Matter.

00:00:23.000 I'll just I'll just say that because I'm going to try to avoid the politicizing of what the

00:00:26.000 group could be called at this point.

00:00:28.000 All right, I'll just call it mob, mafia, I don't know, whatever.

00:00:31.000 They're going around to businesses demanding that they put up a list of demands, and one of the demands is cash.

00:00:38.000 They want the businesses to pay their approved businesses or give 1.5% of their net sales to approved nonprofits.

00:00:48.000 And if you don't, you know what happens.

00:00:50.000 So apparently they showed up to the guy's place of business and smashed a potted plant.

00:00:54.000 And it sounds so much like a cheap mobster movie.

00:00:58.000 It's like, Jimmy, show him what happens if he doesn't pay up.

00:01:01.000 Whack! 1.00

00:01:01.000 And he smashes the flowerpot. 1.00

00:01:03.000 I'm gonna give him the clamps.

00:01:05.000 The clamps.

00:01:06.000 Give him the clamps! 0.96

00:01:07.000 Feature on references.

00:01:08.000 We're really good at it.

00:01:09.000 So, look, it is just Louisville.

00:01:11.000 I know a lot of people are going to be saying things like, you can't say it's all Black Lives Matter, Tim, and stuff like that, and it's like, what am I supposed to say?

00:01:19.000 It's literally Black Lives Matter Louisville going around and doing this, and the scariest thing about it Is that like a dozen or so businesses complied.

00:01:28.000 Signing a contract admitting to like systemic racism and being gentrifiers and all this other nonsense.

00:01:34.000 Wow.

00:01:35.000 It's a contract where they have to draft their own apology statement or something.

00:01:39.000 And you got to hang it up in your business.

00:01:41.000 Cuban immigrant who came here on a raft at 18 years old said no.

00:01:46.000 And then all these Cuban immigrants showed up holding up signs saying we fled Cuba to get away from socialism. 0.98

00:01:51.000 Be careful what you wish for.

00:01:53.000 I'm just like, here, here, man, how is it that you get people in this country, homegrown, 1.00

00:01:58.000 who want horrifying systems, are entitled, want to smash up businesses or threaten people and

00:02:04.000 steal money, and then you have these hardworking Cuban immigrants come here on a raft with nothing 0.95

00:02:08.000 and then earn the American dream? I don't have an answer.

00:02:12.000 Yeah, I think I got to be fair, man. I think we do a terrible job of raising our kids.

00:02:18.000 I mean it.

00:02:19.000 I don't have kids, but I know they're gonna be awesome.

00:02:24.000 You think that?

00:02:25.000 Yeah.

00:02:26.000 No, I know it.

00:02:26.000 You gonna homeschool them?

00:02:28.000 I have two of my sisters have three kids each and they're amazing kids.

00:02:32.000 Homeschooled?

00:02:33.000 Well, no, but they are there for them and they raise them correctly.

00:02:38.000 I mean, I'm an uncle and I You know, I play a part in that, and they're amazing kids.

00:02:44.000 So... You know what, man?

00:02:45.000 Yeah?

00:02:46.000 I hear you.

00:02:47.000 I agree.

00:02:47.000 I think one of the issues is bad parenting, straight up.

00:02:50.000 Yep.

00:02:50.000 You get people who don't know how to tell their kids no, who don't know how to teach their kids discipline, who don't show them how to function as mature, rational adults.

00:02:58.000 Yeah, now it's the teacher's fault.

00:02:59.000 Yep.

00:03:00.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:03:00.000 There's a comic we talked about where it's like, back in the day, the teacher would tell the parents, here's what your kid's doing wrong, and they'd look at the kid and say, what did you do?

00:03:09.000 And today, the kid's done something wrong, and they're looking at the teacher saying, what did you do?

00:03:13.000 My little snowflake can't do anything wrong.

00:03:16.000 So now we end up with this.

00:03:17.000 I mean, so they're literally going around.

00:03:18.000 We have a list of demands.

00:03:19.000 I cover this on my main channel.

00:03:21.000 But I want to go over this and basically talk with Adam about it, because I don't think you've seen the contract they posted.

00:03:26.000 I'd like to get your reaction.

00:03:26.000 No, I haven't.

00:03:28.000 It's a whole new level of psychotic.

00:03:31.000 Great.

00:03:31.000 I'm excited.

00:03:32.000 And they have a list.

00:03:34.000 It says repercussions for noncompliance.

00:03:36.000 And they literally threaten people with cancel culture, saying, we will go nuts on social media and destroy your business and everything.

00:03:43.000 You know, it's crazy to me.

00:03:45.000 is that we do have an interesting predicament with how these brigades will go on Yelp and

00:03:50.000 things like Yelp Google reviews, and they'll write fake reviews for your business to damage

00:03:56.000 your business reputation. I mean is there a way, like this I do think we definitely need

00:04:01.000 section 230 reform here because it does become a problem.

00:04:04.000 There really is a first amendment clash A person's right to speak.

00:04:11.000 But how is one small business, one small Cuban restaurant, supposed to deal with thousands of defamation cases?

00:04:20.000 Literally impossible.

00:04:21.000 So this is an interesting problem.

00:04:24.000 And I don't know if you can make Google responsible for what these people are doing.

00:04:26.000 Maybe the organizers.

00:04:28.000 Do you think they'd deliver to us?

00:04:30.000 In Louisville?

00:04:31.000 I don't know about that.

00:04:31.000 Just trying to send some support.

00:04:33.000 But I'm paying close attention to this.

00:04:37.000 So the other story we have is another thing that I covered before, but we definitely need to talk about it.

00:04:43.000 We got a Monday show.

00:04:44.000 Apparently, in June, a bunch of high-ranking Democrats held, and never Trump or Republicans, held a secretive war game where they did like legit war

00:04:55.000 game, you know, mock-ups like they would for an actual war, calculating what they thought would occur in the event, uh,

00:05:02.000 during the election. Just during the election.

00:05:04.000 Okay. They came up with four scenarios. In only one of them does Donald Trump win, and

00:05:09.000 in all of them, there's street violence and chaos.

00:05:14.000 So we got this article from Ben Smith in the New York Times, and I don't think Ben realized what he wrote and how scary it is.

00:05:22.000 Okay.

00:05:23.000 Very early in his article, because he's talking about like, oh, the media is, you know, concerned and the election is going to be crazy.

00:05:28.000 But in the beginning, he writes that there's near panic among the nerds, the people who track elections, saying, no, none of these state election boards know how they're going to count or even tally votes.

00:05:40.000 They're still counting the votes in New York.

00:05:42.000 Yep.

00:05:42.000 Six weeks on and they don't know who won.

00:05:44.000 It's crazy.

00:05:45.000 If they can't do it for a primary election in New York for what is this?

00:05:49.000 It was one congressional district, I think, or a couple.

00:05:52.000 Imagine every single district in the country.

00:05:56.000 So what happens?

00:05:57.000 One of the scenarios, I guess, is that the House votes to approve Joe Biden for a win, the Senate and the courts approve Trump, and then here's the crazy thing about it.

00:06:09.000 John Podesta from the Clinton campaign, longtime Clinton ally, high-ranking Democrat, one of the top Democrats, was running this war game as Biden, and he shocked everybody by saying, there's no way I can concede this under any circumstance.

00:06:25.000 So he actually, in this scenario, encouraged swing states to send faithless electors to support Biden no matter what, and then encouraged the entire West Coast to secede from the Union.

00:06:37.000 Now, you could say that these people are playing a war game.

00:06:42.000 It's not necessarily going to be true.

00:06:43.000 It's entirely possible that the elections swing so hard for Trump.

00:06:47.000 None of this matters.

00:06:48.000 I think it's a strong possibility.

00:06:50.000 I think so too.

00:06:51.000 But these are, I mean, these are top-ranking Democrats, former governors, professors from universities, Republicans.

00:06:59.000 These are the top political establishment people saying straight up— Never Trump.

00:07:03.000 Never Trump Republicans.

00:07:04.000 Go on.

00:07:05.000 But they're basically playing this game where when it came down to it, they were like, we would rather have civil war That's because he's messing all their plans up.

00:07:13.000 Like a boss.

00:07:13.000 Yup.

00:07:13.000 assume office.

00:07:14.000 That's because he's messing all their plans up.

00:07:17.000 Well I think...

00:07:18.000 Like a boss.

00:07:19.000 If there are people who... so one of the things people have said is, like Trump said in, what

00:07:24.000 was it, 2016, Hillary Clinton said it's a good thing you're not in charge of law enforcement

00:07:28.000 or whatever, and he goes, because you'd be in jail.

00:07:30.000 And then everyone started laughing and cheering.

00:07:33.000 And that's what a lot of people think might happen.

00:07:35.000 Now I'm not talking about conspiracy theories, I'm talking about literally Obamagate.

00:07:39.000 That there are a bunch of high-ranking administration officials and, you know, politicos that know

00:07:45.000 they're better off personally in a civil war.

00:07:49.000 Yes, they are. They'll flee to Oregon and be like, quick secede so I don't get arrested.

00:07:53.000 That's true. Because Trump's taking office and this is it.

00:07:54.000 Because they're scared.

00:07:55.000 He's coming after them all. Maybe the Obamagate stuff, the Durham investigation,

00:07:58.000 the report's coming out. Oh yeah. This is not conspiracy stuff. I'm not talking about,

00:08:02.000 you know, any creepy nonsense. I'm talking literally about proof. Bill Barr, John Durham,

00:08:08.000 and accusations of hard corruption, and people believe that's why they're so adamant.

00:08:13.000 No way!

00:08:13.000 We're gonna light it up before any of that happens.

00:08:15.000 Yep.

00:08:15.000 But we also got some other stories, and I just gotta mention this one before we dive right in.

00:08:20.000 MSNBC staffer.

00:08:23.000 She quit. 1.00

00:08:24.000 She goes into a long detail about the company, just drives ratings, she doesn't like how the business is being run, and she opens this article about why she's quitting, about how it was hard to do so, and it felt radical, but she's gotta do it.

00:08:35.000 And I wanna give a pseudo-standing ovation, because, I say pseudo because I'm sitting in my chair in a podcast room, right?

00:08:41.000 Well done.

00:08:41.000 But I really mean it, like, my greatest respect, because I've been there.

00:08:45.000 It's like, I would rather have uncertainty than work for these companies.

00:08:50.000 So that'll be interesting.

00:08:51.000 But let's do this.

00:08:52.000 Let's get started.

00:08:53.000 For those that are just tuning in, do you want to introduce them to the requirements, the prerequisites for watching the show?

00:09:00.000 You first, you must smash the like button.

00:09:02.000 Yes.

00:09:03.000 Smash it. 0.91

00:09:04.000 And then smash it again. 0.97

00:09:05.000 And then if it hasn't been smashed enough, Maybe smash it one more time.

00:09:10.000 Just make sure it's the right color and it shows that you're liking the channel. 0.90

00:09:12.000 Yeah, smash it.

00:09:14.000 Smash it again.

00:09:15.000 Then smash it a third time because the second smash might unsmash it.

00:09:18.000 It does.

00:09:19.000 Alright, so you don't want to negate the smash.

00:09:22.000 So a third smash is the final smash.

00:09:24.000 Then you can leave it at that.

00:09:26.000 And subscribe, hit the notification bell, we're live every Monday through Friday at 8pm.

00:09:29.000 You can follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Parler at TimCast.

00:09:33.000 You can follow at AdamKrigler in the same places.

00:09:35.000 And of course, at SourPatchLids, L-Y-D-S, on Twitter and Parler.

00:09:39.000 Let's read this first story.

00:09:41.000 Some of you might be familiar with it because, you know, it's going insanely viral.

00:09:46.000 I tweeted about this.

00:09:47.000 It's from just the other day.

00:09:50.000 This story here is from the other day where the Cuban immigrants came out and rallied against Black Lives Matter who are threatening them. 0.82

00:09:56.000 But the tweet I put up has like 20,000 retweets.

00:09:59.000 So this is huge.

00:10:00.000 So the initial story was that a group of Black Lives Matter activists are going around downtown Louisville accusing these people of being gentrifiers.

00:10:13.000 And because of that, they have to pay hard cash.

00:10:16.000 A bunch of businesses agreed to put up this contract in their windows.

00:10:21.000 Dear Nulu Business... Not this one specifically, there's like... It might be this one, but there's other ones, a list of demands specifically.

00:10:28.000 They want them to admit that their gentrification is an oppressive system targeting black folks for 400 years.

00:10:34.000 Now...

00:10:37.000 It's very creepy.

00:10:38.000 A bunch of these businesses just said yes, but one business said no.

00:10:43.000 We are not an enemy of the black community.

00:10:45.000 Cubans rally to support Nulu businesses.

00:10:47.000 Take a look at this photo.

00:10:49.000 Alright, maybe the photos aren't... There we go.

00:10:51.000 It says, we left Cuba because of socialism.

00:10:54.000 Be careful what you wish for.

00:10:56.000 Some of the demands requested by Black Lives Matter protesters included that NULU businesses adequately represent Louisville's black population by having a minimum of 23% black staff.

00:11:06.000 Now, there's more to that.

00:11:08.000 They don't write it out, but no, they want front-facing.

00:11:10.000 They said specifically that if someone walks in, they want front-facing staff, so you'll see who's working there.

00:11:16.000 They said they want a purchasing minimum of 23% inventory from black retailers or donating 1.5% of net sales to a local black nonprofit or organization and requiring diversity and inclusion training for all staff members on a bi-annual basis.

00:11:34.000 My goodness.

00:11:35.000 Yeah, you know what's crazy about it?

00:11:37.000 They're going to a Cuban immigrant's restaurant.

00:11:40.000 He's got, I think he's got two restaurants now.

00:11:42.000 It's called like the Ole Restaurant Group, I think it is.

00:11:45.000 One of them is called La Bodeguita de Mima, and there's another one, I'm not entirely sure.

00:11:49.000 What do you think they said, some of these activists said, when this Cuban immigrant White supremacists?

00:11:55.000 Oh, okay.

00:11:56.000 My goodness.

00:11:56.000 stand for these mafia tactics.

00:11:58.000 White supremacists? 0.77

00:11:59.000 They called him a supremacist.

00:12:02.000 Oh, okay.

00:12:02.000 They said that he was proving that he believes in his supremacy.

00:12:05.000 They couldn't call him a white supremacist because he's a Cuban

00:12:08.000 immigrant, but they still tried.

00:12:10.000 And they called him racist. 0.98

00:12:13.000 And they said he thinks black lives don't matter. 0.92

00:12:18.000 He said that? 0.98

00:12:18.000 Or they're putting that in his mouth? 0.98

00:12:20.000 No, he definitely did not say that.

00:12:21.000 He said he stands with the community.

00:12:23.000 He stands with all people.

00:12:24.000 He's got his family.

00:12:25.000 He's got black family. 1.00

00:12:26.000 He's got a gay son.

00:12:27.000 He absolutely believes in social justice and civil rights.

00:12:31.000 But the only thing they can do is, that's the only weapon they have.

00:12:35.000 There's a tweet going around saying that the left is really good at semantics. 0.96

00:12:41.000 They change the definition of words and they name themselves things that make it really hard to argue against for dumb people, like Black Lives Matter. 0.91

00:12:52.000 If you oppose this group of people threatening small businesses and demanding money, otherwise they have a list of repercussions for non-compliance, then you must not think Black Lives Matter. 0.91

00:13:06.000 Don Jr.

00:13:06.000 Donald Trump Jr.

00:13:08.000 retweeted your tweet just saying simply, that's extortion.

00:13:13.000 And he was right.

00:13:14.000 That would be correct.

00:13:14.000 That's literally what this is.

00:13:16.000 They're extorting businesses for money.

00:13:17.000 And you know how much I'd be willing to bet the cops aren't gonna do anything about it.

00:13:21.000 As we've seen with the expansion of morality policing, the mayor of Louisville is now saying that he thinks they should declare racism a public health crisis.

00:13:30.000 Well, if that's true, you can't go around arresting the people who are going to solve that problem, now can you?

00:13:35.000 And that's the trick, that's the lie.

00:13:37.000 So you got Antifa, but that just means anti-fascist.

00:13:41.000 While they go around giving explosives to people to start fires, blow things up, and beat people, If you say anything bad about him, you're pro-fascist.

00:13:51.000 So there's a fake tweet going around.

00:13:53.000 They do this all the time.

00:13:55.000 One of the biggest problems we have right now with the left using memes for news is that a good portion of them are just fake.

00:14:02.000 Yep.

00:14:02.000 One of them was a group saying, it was the LAPD I think, a fake tweet saying, we oppose Antifa and always will.

00:14:09.000 We're exactly the opposite of whatever Antifa is.

00:14:12.000 And so I read that knowing what Antifa is, and I'm like, oh, so they're like libertarian, you know, anarcho-capitalists.

00:14:17.000 Yeah.

00:14:18.000 No, but because Antifa thinks, you know, from their perspective, Antifa just means opposed to fascism.

00:14:22.000 That means the LAPD was admitting they were fascists, when in reality the tweet was entirely fake.

00:14:28.000 There's a thread from Zach Goldberg going through a bunch of data points, and one of them is that the left is substantially more likely to have been diagnosed with mental health issues.

00:14:39.000 Wait, who is that?

00:14:40.000 Zach?

00:14:41.000 I don't exactly know.

00:14:42.000 Do you know what his title is?

00:14:43.000 He's like a researcher, I think.

00:14:44.000 Yeah, he is.

00:14:44.000 He researches, I think, social justice.

00:14:46.000 I'll look him up.

00:14:47.000 Is he like a government position?

00:14:49.000 No, no, no, I don't think so.

00:14:50.000 General academia.

00:14:51.000 He's a scientist, yeah.

00:14:52.000 Was he a social scientist?

00:14:53.000 Yeah, hold on, let me check.

00:14:54.000 He might just be a random dude on Twitter who's pulling data from other social scientists.

00:14:57.000 Hold on, I'll read it.

00:14:58.000 Here we go.

00:14:59.000 I need the receipts.

00:14:59.000 Yeah, alright.

00:15:00.000 He's a PhD student slash wokeness studies caller researching the great awokening.

00:15:05.000 I don't know what school he's at though, so.

00:15:07.000 Yeah, he's a student.

00:15:09.000 He's showing data from various charts and he's citing all of them.

00:15:13.000 But I say, I'm crediting him for putting a thread together.

00:15:16.000 And one of them shows that the further left you go, the more likely you are to have been diagnosed with a mental illness.

00:15:22.000 And, interestingly, the far right is more likely to have been diagnosed with a mental illness than conservatives.

00:15:28.000 So, I think they call it, like, strong conservative or something. 0.71

00:15:31.000 Okay.

00:15:32.000 Meaning that there is a point where it's like, you go off into the deep end.

00:15:36.000 But one of the things he also pointed out was that the left is, has a really, a much higher index of depression.

00:15:41.000 And once you go towards the right, depression goes away.

00:15:44.000 Like, happiness and general life satisfaction goes way up.

00:15:48.000 Which makes me start to think something about what we see with like, what Black Lives Matter is doing, with what Antifa does and how they name their groups and then get away with this stuff. 0.51

00:15:57.000 I see from so many people, we mentioned this, that they just screenshot Facebook posts, they'll screenshot tweets, and that's their news, and they'll share these things.

00:16:05.000 And I've, like, I can't tell you how many times I've seen a bunch of these posts where they're like, if you're upset that someone's getting $600 a week in unemployment, then maybe, you know, these companies should be paying them more.

00:16:19.000 And I'm like, okay, the unemployment was a 100% guarantee plus $600.

00:16:25.000 So no matter how much they were making, they were still getting more money.

00:16:28.000 And so I've gone probably through like 50 posts where I see these pop up and I just like type it really quick, like, here's the thing, here's the thing, here's the thing, here's the thing.

00:16:36.000 But it's all they keep doing to share this information. 0.96

00:16:39.000 I think what we're seeing is not that liberals or leftists are more likely to be mentally ill. 0.99

00:16:45.000 It's that mentally ill people are more likely to be leftist. 0.97

00:16:48.000 Why? 0.86

00:16:49.000 Because they believe fake news, they believe these fake memes, these fake tweets, these fake posts, and then you end up with moderates and conservatives and non-mentally ill liberals who all fall under one tent saying, like, we oppose this kind of behavior.

00:17:02.000 Yeah.

00:17:03.000 But if you get a group that says, you know, their name is Black Lives Matter, and a regular person can understand the distinction between that doesn't literally mean they think that, especially when there have been several people who have lost their lives who have been black during the riots and they said nothing about it, or that Antifa literally, you know, just because you call yourself the good guys doesn't mean you're the good guys, Whether you're a liberal, a moderate or conservative, you can understand those concepts.

00:17:27.000 If you're not all with it, you probably can't.

00:17:30.000 And you get your information from memes.

00:17:33.000 And if it's, if it's beyond just like a diagnosed mental illness, and it's literally somebody who's just like, like a bunch of low IQ people, then they're not going to be able to sort through this stuff.

00:17:42.000 And they're just going to be forming angry mobs, which is literally what they're doing.

00:17:45.000 Yeah.

00:17:46.000 And then when a group goes around threatening businesses, well, no one stops them because the angry mob is loud.

00:17:53.000 Yeah, and they thrive as victims.

00:17:55.000 The whole victimhood thing is rampant on the far left.

00:17:59.000 They really thrive in being victims together.

00:18:03.000 I mean, everything they're talking about is, we're victims, we're victims, we're victims, and that's it.

00:18:07.000 Basically, if you look at everything they say, that's the root.

00:18:11.000 They're all victims.

00:18:12.000 They're all being oppressed.

00:18:13.000 I think a lot of them know that they're lying about being victims.

00:18:17.000 And I think it's like narcissistic personality disorder, borderline, you know, histrionic, all of this like really just aggressive and angry.

00:18:28.000 And so they're going around and threatening people with the weapon they've been handed.

00:18:31.000 Victimhood.

00:18:32.000 So they see it.

00:18:33.000 It's like a clear path.

00:18:34.000 Hey man, I'll go to this business and I'll walk up and I'll say, here's my demands.

00:18:38.000 You're going to pay up or no?

00:18:39.000 And then when they say no, smash some of their property up and say, we'll be back.

00:18:43.000 So these are the, I read the demands already.

00:18:45.000 I think there's a, look at this.

00:18:47.000 I'm not going to read this.

00:18:48.000 This is, this is the new Lou business owners representation contract.

00:18:53.000 I'm not going to read it, but I'm almost, I almost have to.

00:18:56.000 So you can, so you, so people can hear what it is, but I don't want to say these words.

00:18:59.000 I'll read the first part.

00:19:00.000 I, as a business owner in the gentrified Nulu business district, understand that gentrification targets poor and disadvantaged communities of color, and as such, I acknowledge that the original residents—here we go, my business has played a part in this—that the community members were replaced, that many of the original residents were repatriated.

00:19:19.000 I am therefore committing to, you know, fix things.

00:19:22.000 And then they say, To correct this lack of representation, I commit to increasing black representation in my business operations, and this shall include, this is where they say, you know, staff and management positions, you know, for black employees, buying from black vendors, or giving 1.5% of our monthly annual profits.

00:19:42.000 23% of black businesses in board membership in the NuLu Business Association.

00:19:45.000 Here's my favorite, uh, here's my favorite part.

00:19:48.000 They mention, uh, I can't search through this.

00:19:51.000 One of the things they say is that you have to submit, that we demand you submit to a voluntary audit.

00:19:59.000 What?

00:20:00.000 Yes.

00:20:02.000 Well, that's not voluntary.

00:20:04.000 You're demanding it.

00:20:05.000 We demand you submit to a voluntary, you know, uh, where is it?

00:20:10.000 Where is it?

00:20:10.000 Whatever.

00:20:11.000 Here's, uh, it's in here somewhere, but this is a photo, so I can't actually do a search for it.

00:20:17.000 But here check this out repercussions of non-compliance.

00:20:21.000 Reduction in racial index score bias report to the Better Business Bureau.

00:20:26.000 I don't think these people realize that that's like telling someone you're going to complain to Google.

00:20:33.000 They want to speak to the manager?

00:20:35.000 The Better Business Bureau is like, they don't do anything.

00:20:38.000 It's just like, it's like Yelp.

00:20:39.000 It's like Yelp before the internet.

00:20:41.000 Right.

00:20:41.000 So it's like, I'm going to call the Better Business Bureau and people are like, I don't care.

00:20:45.000 Okay, Karen.

00:20:46.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:20:48.000 Social media blast.

00:20:50.000 Notification via all social media platforms of non-compliance.

00:20:54.000 Boycott.

00:20:55.000 Public boycott coordinated through social media and mail announcements of your NuLu establishment and any other business ventures owned by you.

00:21:03.000 Protest.

00:21:03.000 Visible media cover demonstration sitting outside your establishment.

00:21:07.000 Invasive reclamation.

00:21:09.000 Placement of booths and tables outside your establishment where competing black proprietors will offer items comparable to those offered by you. 0.83

00:21:18.000 Wow.

00:21:18.000 That sounds an awful lot like extortion, Tim.

00:21:21.000 It does.

00:21:22.000 The only thing is that the demands are more of an ideological bent.

00:21:27.000 So it's like, what would it be called?

00:21:29.000 I guess it's still extortion.

00:21:31.000 Like what would it be called if like a bunch of Mormons walked around and they like went to business to business, but instead of being polite and happy with smiles on their face, they had like bats and they were like, give, donate to the church or else. 0.98

00:21:41.000 That'd still be extortion.

00:21:42.000 Extortion.

00:21:42.000 Yeah.

00:21:43.000 It's like a sharia patrol. 0.90

00:21:45.000 Yeah, morality policing.

00:21:47.000 Literally, yeah.

00:21:48.000 So we were talking the other day and I was like, I said the police will come to your house and knock on the door and say you can't play rap music anymore.

00:21:53.000 Yeah.

00:21:54.000 It was a bit of an exaggeration, but this is basically it.

00:21:57.000 They're going to, so not necessarily the residential houses yet, they've done that to politicians.

00:22:02.000 We'll see if they start going to regular people, which they probably will in my opinion soon.

00:22:06.000 They're going to businesses now and saying, here's what you must do to be in the good graces of the movement.

00:22:12.000 And they want you to admit this is crazy.

00:22:15.000 I blank see and support the black community as a business owner, I dedicate my time, I pledge, therefore blah blah blah.

00:22:22.000 You gotta put your name, you gotta put your business address, and sign an apology.

00:22:26.000 Acknowledging the faults of your privilege.

00:22:29.000 You have to submit.

00:22:31.000 We demand you submit to a voluntary audit.

00:22:35.000 I wonder if... I want to find that.

00:22:36.000 But anyway, this is what they're demanding of people.

00:22:40.000 In which case... What is this?

00:22:43.000 Mafia?

00:22:44.000 Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

00:22:46.000 So now, here's what I... I don't think the police will do anything about it.

00:22:50.000 You can have everybody in the world tweet about it, but we've already seen... I do not see the police crossing, you know, these activists, or extremists, or whatever you want to call it, mafiosos.

00:23:03.000 They're just going to keep doing what they're doing.

00:23:05.000 No one's going to stop them.

00:23:06.000 But there are people who are starting to speak up.

00:23:08.000 So, to be fair, this guy in Louisville at this restaurant is, you know, standing up, pushing back, and saying no.

00:23:15.000 Yep.

00:23:16.000 Now they have, uh, what is this?

00:23:17.000 The level of representation shall be achieved by August 17th, 2020, with incremental increases of 5% in each six-month period.

00:23:24.000 Well, there you go.

00:23:26.000 This is what we can expect to happen.

00:23:28.000 And now, when you look at how the press handles this kind of stuff, this is why I'm not confident that we're gonna see de-escalation.

00:23:34.000 I don't know if you saw what happened with the NBA dude.

00:23:37.000 What was his name?

00:23:38.000 Jonathan Isaacs?

00:23:38.000 Yeah.

00:23:40.000 Yeah, I saw it.

00:23:40.000 It's terrible what they're... I mean, the Democrats and the crazy left are basically being like, good.

00:23:47.000 Good riddance. 0.94

00:23:48.000 He got hurt.

00:23:49.000 It's karma.

00:23:49.000 Well, so he's the guy who stood for the national anthem.

00:23:52.000 And even his teammates seem to be supporting him, like, let him do his thing.

00:23:55.000 And then he tore his ACL, which was already weakened.

00:23:59.000 He had a knee brace on.

00:24:01.000 And then he goes for a jump shot, I guess, or something, or a dunk.

00:24:04.000 I don't know.

00:24:05.000 I'm not a basketball kind of guy.

00:24:06.000 Uh, but he falls.

00:24:07.000 He falls down.

00:24:08.000 And now they're like, irony, they're laughing, haha, he stood for the national anthem, stuff like that.

00:24:14.000 But when it happens, you can see the other people wearing the Black Lives Matter sweaters.

00:24:18.000 They, you know, they run in and they're like, concerned about him.

00:24:22.000 I think that, that to me was, was like, you know, a good sign that even these dudes who are, you know, clearly doing two different kind of movements or whatever still recognize their friends and all that.

00:24:30.000 But based on how we've seen the treatment of Herman Cain, when he passed, versus John Lewis, when you see what happens to this NBA player, the media, like, listen.

00:24:40.000 The Courier-Journal, of course, is talking about the story.

00:24:43.000 There's protests going on.

00:24:44.000 It's local news.

00:24:45.000 Did CNN cover it?

00:24:47.000 New York Times?

00:24:48.000 Washington Post?

00:24:48.000 Vox?

00:24:49.000 No, they don't want to show people standing up against this.

00:24:52.000 They don't want to show them extorting people.

00:24:54.000 Or extorting people, right?

00:24:55.000 Both.

00:24:57.000 You know?

00:24:57.000 Yep.

00:24:58.000 You hear what happened in Rockford, Illinois?

00:25:00.000 No, what happened?

00:25:00.000 So there was a Back the Blue protest.

00:25:03.000 Just a bunch of people.

00:25:04.000 And I guess at the very, the tail end, there was like four or five anti-Back the Blue, you know, Black Lives Matter, yelling Black Lives Matter at them.

00:25:14.000 And then they got violent and they sent SWAT in there and took them out.

00:25:20.000 The far leftists?

00:25:22.000 The far leftists.

00:25:23.000 They arrested each one of them.

00:25:26.000 For each of these things, that's also not on the news.

00:25:30.000 We're seeing these specific examples of this.

00:25:34.000 This isn't even being on the news.

00:25:36.000 But morality policing, sure it's happening.

00:25:39.000 But at the same time, I'm seeing plenty of other instances where these cops are like, we're not going to take this. 0.97

00:25:46.000 This is, this is ridiculous. 0.80

00:25:48.000 We're not the masked police. 0.99

00:25:49.000 We're, you know, you, you get violent in our town, we're going to arrest you and you're going to go to prison.

00:25:54.000 And that's what happened.

00:25:55.000 Well, let's see if Louisville does it.

00:25:56.000 I mean, the mayor is clearly supporting this weird intersectional identity stuff.

00:26:01.000 But, you know, to be fair, too, I want to make sure we clarify, when they say the media won't cover it, it typically refers to national-level media.

00:26:09.000 Like, Brian Stelter on CNN goes on his show and he goes, and there it is! 1.00

00:26:14.000 More proof of dictator Donald Trump, or some other stupid nonsense. 1.00

00:26:18.000 Because Trump tweeted about delaying the election, question mark? 1.00

00:26:22.000 And I tweeted, I'm like, Trump tweeted.

00:26:25.000 The governor of New Jersey had small business owners arrested for trying to open their gym in a sleepy suburb.

00:26:32.000 So you want to talk to me about who's a dictator, who's a fascist, whatever? 0.84

00:26:36.000 It's absolutely insane, man. 0.93

00:26:38.000 And then we got Black Lives Mafia over here. 1.00

00:26:42.000 And, you know, Louisville.

00:26:46.000 How is this not news?

00:26:47.000 How are people not talking about this?

00:26:48.000 I've heard stuff like this has happened in other places.

00:26:50.000 I just couldn't find any confirmation.

00:26:51.000 It's crazy.

00:26:52.000 Because that's a big issue.

00:26:54.000 Are people actually going to cover this?

00:26:56.000 And the Courier-Journal, I believe, is part of USA Today, but it reaches the national level because I tweet about it.

00:27:04.000 So, look, when I posted this story the first time, I didn't think I'd get that many retweets.

00:27:09.000 I got like 20,000.

00:27:10.000 And I was like, whoa.

00:27:12.000 And now all of a sudden we're starting to see conservative outlets, conservative commentary starting to cover this.

00:27:19.000 Of course.

00:27:21.000 But the mainstream large news outlets have been totally co-opted by the far left.

00:27:25.000 So this is the important thing to realize when people talk about the mainstream media is that there's clearly left-wing media, there's clearly right-wing media, and then there's establishment corporate media that is dominated entirely by far-left ideology or at least bends the knee to it.

00:27:42.000 We're just going to make things really, really interesting as we move now into an election, because we have this New York Times article from Ben Smith.

00:27:50.000 It's really interesting.

00:27:51.000 He mentions that our media operates like election commissions.

00:27:56.000 When we're trying to figure out who actually won, we go about this in a really weird way.

00:28:02.000 The news outlets just tell us, and we assume they're telling the truth, even though they're just making predictions.

00:28:09.000 Isn't that weird?

00:28:10.000 Yeah, I mean, I guess weird isn't what I would use, the term.

00:28:16.000 Well, I always assumed that, like, the official reporting coming in to the news outlets was that they would hear from, like, the state election board saying, we've confirmed this is the results.

00:28:26.000 That's not the case.

00:28:27.000 They're taking, like, polling data and they're making phone calls and then saying, here's our projection.

00:28:32.000 Hey, who did you vote for?

00:28:33.000 Hey, who did you vote for?

00:28:34.000 Who did you vote for?

00:28:35.000 Is that what they're saying, what they do?

00:28:37.000 Because who's going to tell him Trump?

00:28:39.000 No one's going to say that.

00:28:40.000 We've known that.

00:28:41.000 Well, they did in 2016, right?

00:28:43.000 They didn't want to.

00:28:44.000 And they do call the election boards, but ultimately it's just like they're not certified results.

00:28:49.000 And so what ends up happening is we had the very famous 2000 moment where Fox News called Florida for George Bush, but then everyone said he didn't.

00:28:56.000 And they were like, wait, what happened?

00:28:57.000 And then Al Gore rescinded his concession.

00:29:00.000 And then it went to the courts and then Bush won.

00:29:02.000 Because the media is telling us who won.

00:29:06.000 Great.

00:29:06.000 Instead of us, like, waiting a week, we created this spectacle where the day of election.

00:29:11.000 Now we're not going to have that.

00:29:12.000 Well, no one trusts the media either anymore.

00:29:15.000 So, you know, that's not going to work anyway.

00:29:19.000 This story here from the Boston Globe is... This is actually a relatively old story.

00:29:26.000 It's from June.

00:29:27.000 But we're getting new information on a bipartisan group secretly gathering to game out a contested Trump-Biden election.

00:29:35.000 And it wasn't pretty, they say.

00:29:38.000 I can go through all the details, but suffice to say, it's very, very simple.

00:29:41.000 All of the scenarios result in street-level violence, political impasse.

00:29:45.000 The law is essentially helpless.

00:29:47.000 They predicted four scenarios, one in which Trump wins, but only with the Electoral College.

00:29:53.000 And in that scenario, Joe Biden would not concede.

00:29:58.000 Well, and you said this earlier, all of the people that are in this group doing this don't like Trump at all.

00:30:04.000 Yeah, they're all never Trumpers.

00:30:05.000 All of them.

00:30:06.000 So what's really interesting is actually this column from Ben Smith over at the New York Times, how the media would get the election story wrong.

00:30:15.000 We may not know the results for days and maybe weeks, so it's time to rethink election night.

00:30:21.000 I don't think there's going to be an election night or even election month.

00:30:24.000 Right now in New York City, they're still trying to count the mail-in ballots from six weeks ago, and they don't know who won these primaries.

00:30:31.000 The mail-in ballots.

00:30:36.000 Sounds like there's something fishy with mail-in ballots.

00:30:39.000 But take a look at how the column ends, and then we'll talk about what this means in terms of these scenarios.

00:30:46.000 Conveniently, a group of former top government officials called the Transition Integrity Project actually gamed four possible scenarios, including one that doesn't look that different from 2016, a big popular win for Mr. Biden, and a narrow electoral defeat, presumably reached after weeks of counting the votes in Pennsylvania.

00:31:04.000 For their war game, they cast John Podesta, who was Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, in the role of Mr. Biden.

00:31:09.000 They expected him, when the votes came in, to concede, just as Mrs. Clinton had.

00:31:15.000 Yeah, he didn't.

00:31:15.000 The only issue?

00:31:17.000 Mr. Podesta, playing Biden, shocked the organizers by saying he felt his party wouldn't let him concede.

00:31:23.000 Alleging voter suppression, he persuaded the governors of Wisconsin and Michigan to send pro-Biden electors to the Electoral College, presumably at odds with what the results actually were.

00:31:34.000 In that scenario, California, Oregon, and Washington then threatened to secede from the United States if Mr. Trump took office as planned.

00:31:42.000 The House named Biden president.

00:31:44.000 The Senate and White House stuck with Trump.

00:31:46.000 At that point in the scenario, the nation stopped looking to media outlets for cues and waited to see what the military would do.

00:31:53.000 Oh.

00:31:54.000 So here's the scenario I have.

00:31:56.000 What happens when Fox News says Donald Trump has won, and then MSNBC says Joe Biden has won, and the results are insanely different?

00:32:08.000 And so then what?

00:32:09.000 You just said you had it.

00:32:10.000 You go.

00:32:12.000 What?

00:32:12.000 What do you think?

00:32:13.000 Well, then you end up with this scenario exactly as they said it.

00:32:17.000 The left is going to argue we didn't lose.

00:32:19.000 We won.

00:32:20.000 It's reported in the press.

00:32:21.000 Fox News is fake news.

00:32:23.000 And then Fox is going to report it for Trump.

00:32:25.000 And then the people are going to say MSNBC, CNN, these are fake outlets.

00:32:28.000 You're going to have all the liberals saying, there's no way all of these outlets are fake.

00:32:32.000 Right-wing media is lying.

00:32:34.000 Joe Biden and his camp are going to say right-wing media is just trying to, they're fascists trying to support Trump.

00:32:39.000 And you're going to end up with people who actually read the news, who actually know the data, are going to be called right-wing.

00:32:46.000 And it won't matter what you believe or what you don't believe.

00:32:48.000 I think the military will side with Trump.

00:32:52.000 I think so.

00:32:53.000 I think, I think so, but it's hard to know for sure.

00:32:55.000 We've already had several, you know, former generals come out against him and slam him.

00:32:59.000 That doesn't mean anything.

00:33:00.000 They're former, like the military right now.

00:33:03.000 I mean, I personally know people that are fed up with what's happening, saying, I'm sick of the Democrats.

00:33:08.000 I'm sick of what's going on.

00:33:10.000 And I'm just, I think they'd side with him.

00:33:14.000 They'd side with the president.

00:33:15.000 Well, we need to see how the election goes, but there's an even worse scenario not listed in any of these games.

00:33:21.000 And that's an election night in-person polling landslide for Trump that they refuse to call because of mail-in ballots.

00:33:29.000 And then over the course of a few weeks, ballots keep pouring in and it flips for Biden.

00:33:34.000 550 million votes for Biden.

00:33:38.000 It's like there's there's only 350 million Americans.

00:33:41.000 It could be something like Trump gets 64 million and they're like you know or because of mail-in voting it would go it would be split between Trump and Biden but they'll be like 50 million votes cast for Trump and 40 million for Biden It looks like it should be a landslide, but we still have mail-in ballots, so we're not going to call it tonight.

00:33:58.000 And then every week Biden gets, you know, three or four million and Trump gets like a half a million.

00:34:04.000 And then in the span of like three or four weeks, all of a sudden Joe Biden is now the winner.

00:34:10.000 And then no matter what happens, Trump's like, where are these ballots coming from?

00:34:13.000 How is this possible?

00:34:14.000 Where did all these votes come from?

00:34:15.000 Well, they keep printing dollars.

00:34:15.000 Won't matter.

00:34:18.000 Probably they keep printing ballots.

00:34:20.000 Just keep printing ballots.

00:34:21.000 We'll be good.

00:34:22.000 The crazy thing is that this did happen in 2018, but the Republicans didn't contest it.

00:34:27.000 So there were races.

00:34:29.000 So this is an interesting thing.

00:34:31.000 I often talk about how I was wrong in 2018.

00:34:34.000 Maybe I wasn't, depending on how conspiratorial you want to get.

00:34:38.000 So I thought the Republicans were going to dominate.

00:34:40.000 They controlled every branch of everything, basically.

00:34:42.000 And I was like, considering this insanity that we're seeing in the press and cancel culture, I can't imagine that, you know, the House would flip, you know, this blue wave would really hit.

00:34:52.000 Conservatives basically won, for the most part, in the initial reporting.

00:34:56.000 And then I made a video saying it was a red wave, there was no blue wave.

00:35:00.000 But then over the next several days to a week or whatever, new votes just started popping in.

00:35:05.000 And then all of a sudden, the race just started flipping in favor of Democrats.

00:35:09.000 Trump said that this would happen, and basically, I don't know the exact tweets he put out, but something alluding to, you know, interference, fraud or whatever.

00:35:21.000 But then when they all won, no one of the Republicans tried to stop it.

00:35:24.000 Nobody filed suit.

00:35:25.000 It just accepted it as, you know, that's what happened.

00:35:28.000 And then, of course, the Democrats with their new House majority tried to impeach the president and then started doing a whole bunch of, you know, insane, insane stuff like Adam Schiff.

00:35:38.000 Published private details of an American journalist without a warrant.

00:35:43.000 That's messed up.

00:35:44.000 Yeah, he used the subpoena power of Congress, and I guess Judicial Watch challenged them, and they lost.

00:35:51.000 Like, Congress is allowed to seize a private citizen's personal information, phone records, and publish them with no consequence.

00:35:58.000 That's messed up.

00:35:59.000 Yep.

00:36:00.000 Take a look at this from the New York Times.

00:36:02.000 They say, Ben Smith writes, I spoke last week to executives, TV hosts, and election analysts across leading American newsrooms, and I was struck by the blithe confidence among some top managers and hosts who generally said they've handled complicated elections before and can do so again.

00:36:18.000 And I was alarmed by the near panic among some of the people paying close attention.

00:36:23.000 The analysts and producers trying and often failing to get answers from state election officials about how and when they will count the ballots and report results.

00:36:32.000 The nerds are freaking out, said Brandon Finnegan, the founder of Decision Desk HQ, which delivers election results to media outlets.

00:36:39.000 I don't think it's penetrated enough in the average viewer's mind that there's not going to be an election night.

00:36:45.000 The usual razzmatazz of a panel sitting around discussing election results, that's dead.

00:36:51.000 So, uh, how many buildings are going to get burned down on November 4th?

00:36:55.000 November 3rd?

00:36:56.000 I mean, I was just in Philadelphia yesterday and half of the buildings I was, I mean, I was driving down the street, half the buildings were boarded up.

00:37:04.000 They all had, you know, Black Lives Matter stuff written on the outside of the boards.

00:37:10.000 And all I can see is like, man, they're just pleading not to burn their business down.

00:37:14.000 That's all I can see.

00:37:16.000 It's scary. 0.91

00:37:18.000 Black Lives Mafia, man. 1.00

00:37:20.000 It's actually ringing true more and more.

00:37:21.000 The more we go on, it's been hijacked.

00:37:23.000 That's what I've been saying.

00:37:25.000 They put up signs saying, please don't hurt us.

00:37:27.000 They paint in their windows, we support you, please, please.

00:37:31.000 They put up Antifa signs.

00:37:32.000 I'll tell you what, man, Antifa's out of the question at this point.

00:37:35.000 Antifa, as far as I'm concerned, the narrative of Antifa is over.

00:37:37.000 You know why?

00:37:38.000 Why?

00:37:38.000 What used to be Antifa now just flies Black Lives Matter flags.

00:37:41.000 Right, that's a good point.

00:37:42.000 They still have their Antifa flags, but they're wearing shirts that say Black Lives Matter.

00:37:45.000 They put up signs that say Black Lives Matter.

00:37:47.000 Yeah, it's the shield.

00:37:48.000 Yeah, the shields say Black Lives Matter.

00:37:50.000 So they're no longer Antifa now.

00:37:53.000 Now there is an organization.

00:37:54.000 Congratulations!

00:37:57.000 They like to say Antifa isn't actually an organization.

00:38:00.000 Okay, Black Lives Matter is.

00:38:01.000 They receive funding and the people running around with shields have Black Lives Matter written on them.

00:38:07.000 They receive funding and they extort businesses.

00:38:09.000 That's right.

00:38:10.000 Have any of the... and overtly as Black Lives Matter. 0.87

00:38:13.000 Now here's the important question.

00:38:14.000 Has any of these Black Lives Matter organizers with these massive protests in Portland, Oregon denounced the explosives being used?

00:38:20.000 Not that I know of.

00:38:21.000 Maybe they did, and if they did, then, you know, thank you.

00:38:25.000 I'm glad, but I don't think they did.

00:38:26.000 So here's what I would say.

00:38:27.000 There's going to be some testimony before Congress about Antifa, and that's wrong.

00:38:33.000 Andy Ngo is going to be testifying, among other people.

00:38:35.000 Wrong, wrong, wrong.

00:38:36.000 The people in Portland, they can claim to be Antifa.

00:38:39.000 They may have been Antifa in the past, but the 16 nights of violent riots was under the banner of Black Lives Matter.

00:38:44.000 That's true.

00:38:45.000 And I'm not saying that to agitate or to be emotional.

00:38:49.000 Literally, they have shields that say Black Lives Matter on them.

00:38:51.000 They put bills, like paper flyers, on the fencing saying Black Lives Matter.

00:38:57.000 It's reported in the press they're protesting for George Floyd and for Black Lives Matter.

00:39:02.000 Then Black Lives Matter has a national organization that raises tons of money.

00:39:05.000 They have high-profile personalities.

00:39:08.000 And have any of them called this out?

00:39:10.000 In fact, when it came to the dude in Louisville who's being extorted, they actually came out attacking the business owner for trying to resist the extortion attempt.

00:39:18.000 Has anyone from the parent organization condemned the extortion going on in Louisville?

00:39:22.000 Not that I've seen.

00:39:24.000 And that could just be me, it could be the media, to be fair.

00:39:26.000 But, not that I've seen.

00:39:27.000 In which case, the conversation needs to be put forth that Black Lives Matter needs to stop the violence, the explosives, the weapons, and there's even NAACP leaders calling this out. 0.98

00:39:39.000 In Oregon specifically, there's one guy who was saying that this whole event has become a white spectacle.

00:39:45.000 It was supposed to be about Black Lives Matter, and now they've just taken the whole thing over.

00:39:48.000 Numerous black activist leaders have been saying that the far left has co-opted Black Lives Matter.

00:39:55.000 Now you have overt Marxism and the far left engaging in violence.

00:40:00.000 They're not flying the Antifa flag anymore.

00:40:02.000 So that needs to be pointed out.

00:40:03.000 And if they have a problem with that, then you need to call out the violent extremists who are flying your flag and being extremists.

00:40:09.000 There's no excuse.

00:40:11.000 You got to do it.

00:40:13.000 So the interesting thing that Ben Smith brings up is that the media, for some reason, takes the place of national election commissions.

00:40:20.000 He says, here the media actually assembles the results from 50 states, tabulates them, and declares a victor.

00:40:25.000 And we can't really help ourselves.

00:40:27.000 The media establishes the narrative to explain what happened.

00:40:31.000 He then goes on to talk about how this resulted in, you know, 2000 with Gore V. Bush and all that stuff.

00:40:35.000 And then he basically brings up the point that they don't know what's going to happen.

00:40:39.000 Many of these people have not woken up to the fact that there's not going to be an election.

00:40:47.000 A lot of the people who work at say like CNN and MSNBC and all that seem to think that the companies that provide them data are able and ready and they're not.

00:40:54.000 So I can only imagine that you're gonna see like Wolf Blitzer standing there and he's gonna be like, no data coming in and we're five hours in.

00:41:01.000 Still no data, and then it's like 4 in the morning and it's like 0% across the board, nothing, nothing happens.

00:41:07.000 No election night.

00:41:08.000 Yep.

00:41:10.000 So then what do we do as a country?

00:41:12.000 Oh, I wish I had all the answers.

00:41:15.000 I don't have any of them.

00:41:17.000 Anybody know?

00:41:18.000 Anybody know what we do?

00:41:23.000 Buy gold, buy bitcoin, buy a ranch.

00:41:26.000 Buy a bug out van.

00:41:27.000 Yeah, get out of cities, I guess.

00:41:29.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:41:30.000 Everyone's getting armed.

00:41:31.000 That's true.

00:41:32.000 We've got record gun sales.

00:41:33.000 I wonder, I really wonder about this.

00:41:36.000 You know, I was thinking about, we talk a lot about the potential for war and stuff, and maybe we can talk about this in a bit, like in a fuller segment, but I was curious, like, We've got people decentralizing our economy by leaving cities.

00:41:49.000 Yeah.

00:41:49.000 We've got people buying weapons, people buying gold, people buying stocks.

00:41:54.000 And interestingly, it's like these things would greatly benefit us in a war.

00:42:00.000 But the other thing I realized, too, is that with the economy taking a massive hit, I wonder if we're going to reach every enlistment goal for every branch of the armed forces.

00:42:07.000 I don't know.

00:42:09.000 I'm not, you know, I could be wrong about this.

00:42:11.000 My understanding is that basically when the economy does bad, enlistment skyrockets because it's a guaranteed job.

00:42:17.000 So I wonder if this will still end up benefiting us as well.

00:42:21.000 There's talk.

00:42:21.000 Talk's floating around.

00:42:23.000 So while we're talking about media, I want to use this opportunity to jump to the next bit because, you know, when it comes to extortion, when it comes to the media, when it comes to the lies, man, this story right here.

00:42:34.000 This is just like a personal blog for Ariana N. Picari.

00:42:38.000 Personal news, why I'm now leaving MSNBC.

00:42:42.000 You know why she's leaving? 0.98

00:42:44.000 Because of fake news.

00:42:45.000 Finally.

00:42:46.000 It's refreshing to see someone actually leave.

00:42:50.000 Because, I mean, that's basically what you did, you know, when they were like...

00:42:53.000 They wouldn't let me leave.

00:42:56.000 I mean, I still did work.

00:42:59.000 I did work, but they didn't like what I was producing.

00:43:01.000 So I worked for a company that was a joint venture between ABC News and Univision, and they did not like the content I was doing because they wanted to do social justice.

00:43:10.000 Because it was honest.

00:43:11.000 No, no, no, it's not even that.

00:43:13.000 I went to Fukushima.

00:43:14.000 I know, it was cool.

00:43:16.000 Yeah, so I went to Japan and we did this story about, you know, the radioactive disaster, the nuclear disaster.

00:43:23.000 It was a clever idea.

00:43:24.000 I was like, the idea I had for a good documentary series was to take a look at video games and movies that have concepts, and then produce documentaries around the concepts, so you have like a non-fiction version that explores the ideas.

00:43:37.000 So, when Fallout 4 was coming out, I was like, why don't we go to, you know, Fukushima, we'll call it Fallout from Fukushima, and then when everyone's really excited about this video game, we'll have like a, hey, here's the real world, you can learn some facts, and it worked out really well.

00:43:52.000 Yeah, it was a good series.

00:43:54.000 So, the interesting thing about it, it's not political.

00:43:57.000 They didn't like it.

00:43:58.000 They wanted woke politics, and I didn't want to do it.

00:44:01.000 I want those clicks, baby!

00:44:03.000 Well, it wasn't clicks.

00:44:04.000 I was getting clicks.

00:44:05.000 I was getting more views than, like, basically anybody at the company.

00:44:08.000 And they even told me that the president of the company said, you get more traffic than anyone else here.

00:44:13.000 And I was like, then why won't you listen?

00:44:15.000 They were obsessed with embracing far-left intersectionality and feminism.

00:44:21.000 And I could only speculate as to why based on Wait, hold on.

00:44:24.000 What happened to them?

00:44:25.000 their consultants. So the consultants may be the end-all be-all but it was

00:44:28.000 basically them they believed that in the next several years this country will be

00:44:33.000 entirely intersectional. Seems like they weren't entirely wrong though the

00:44:37.000 company didn't couldn't succeed in actually generating any kind of buzz but

00:44:40.000 they believed within the next you know five to ten years or so this would be it

00:44:43.000 the entire country would be woke and therefore you must be woke now to get in

00:44:48.000 early to win. Wait hold on what happened to them? Didn't they go broke? Oh yeah

00:44:52.000 Yeah, they went super broke.

00:44:53.000 Ha ha! 0.86

00:44:54.000 That's...

00:44:55.000 All that money just gone.

00:44:57.000 We'll take a look at this story.

00:44:58.000 Let's actually read.

00:44:59.000 So I'm not familiar with who Ariana Pecari is, but she writes, quote, just quit. 1.00

00:45:05.000 That's the advice Alec gave a year and a half ago when I expressed concerns about my job.

00:45:09.000 You just quit.

00:45:10.000 It's that simple.

00:45:12.000 Stay at MSNBC at least until the midterms, Jeffrey said a couple years back.

00:45:16.000 He advised to watch and see what happens.

00:45:18.000 Hang in there, you're needed, Elizabeth recommended last winter.

00:45:21.000 I was in your shoes when I was younger, but I stuck it out.

00:45:25.000 A year and a half ago, simply quitting my job without knowing my next step sounded pretty radical.

00:45:30.000 So I stuck it out a bit longer, until we were in the middle of a pandemic to make a truly radical move.

00:45:36.000 July 24th was my last day at MSNBC.

00:45:39.000 I don't know what I'm going to do next, exactly, but I simply couldn't stay there anymore.

00:45:44.000 My colleagues are very smart people with good intentions.

00:45:46.000 The problem is the job itself.

00:45:48.000 It forces skilled journalists to make bad decisions on a daily basis.

00:45:52.000 You may not watch MSNBC, but just know that this problem still affects you, too.

00:45:58.000 All the commercial networks function the same, and no doubt that content seeps into your social media feed one way or the other.

00:46:05.000 It's possible that I'm more sensitive to the editorial process due to my background in public radio, where no decision I ever witnessed was predicated on how a topic or a guest would rate.

00:46:15.000 The longer I was at MSNBC, the more I saw such choices.

00:46:19.000 It's practically baked into the editorial process, and those decisions affect news content every day.

00:46:25.000 Likewise, it's taboo to discuss how the rating scheme distorts content or it's simply taken for granted.

00:46:31.000 Because everyone in the commercial broadcast news industry is doing the exact same thing.

00:46:37.000 But behind closed doors, industry leaders will admit the damage that's being done.

00:46:41.000 Quote, you're gonna love it.

00:46:42.000 You guys ready for the nuclear bomb?

00:46:44.000 We are a cancer and there is no cure, a successful and insightful TV veteran said to me.

00:46:44.000 Yeah.

00:46:51.000 But if you could find a cure, it would change the world.

00:46:54.000 It's easy.

00:46:54.000 It's the easiest cure in the world.

00:46:58.000 You just stop watching.

00:47:01.000 You stop watching.

00:47:02.000 Everyone stops watching them.

00:47:03.000 Everyone realizes that they're fake.

00:47:05.000 No one's gonna go.

00:47:06.000 Their ratings will die.

00:47:08.000 You know, look, MSNBC and CNN are as fake as they can get, but people are addicted to this stuff.

00:47:15.000 They believe it, they trust it, and they grew up being told Fox News is fake news.

00:47:20.000 Fox News is biased, for sure, but their daytime news stuff is actually really good.

00:47:26.000 And I've heard journalism professors say this stuff, but the left can't accept it.

00:47:31.000 They've been wrapped up into this resistance, insane mindset, and this is what you get?

00:47:37.000 You get people who exploit this, and they grow, and they become powerful.

00:47:42.000 Now, to be fair, if you look at my content, it is absolutely hyper-focused.

00:47:46.000 A lot of the stuff we talk about is, you know, very political.

00:47:49.000 It has its buys and everything.

00:47:51.000 But there's a big difference between, you know, for my content, a dude who reads the news and talks about his opinion and tries to make sure, you know, I'm telling you what I think is reasonable and honest to the best of my abilities as kind of a, you know, independent, left-leaning, you know, kind of person.

00:48:06.000 And then you have, for this show, a small group of people just opining on cultural issues in politics and talking about the election coming up.

00:48:14.000 When you compare those things, the big difference to, say, MSNBC is an editorial boss who says, no, I know you care about that story, Adam.

00:48:22.000 We're not going to run with it because it's not going to do well for the show.

00:48:25.000 I want to talk about space, but we're going to talk about space so that we actually have spacex ready

00:48:30.000 You know yeah, so we're going to talk about like spacex and stuff and there have been segments

00:48:34.000 We've done. I can't remember which segment. We did didn't do all that well, and it was because something we wanted to

00:48:38.000 talk about But that's the thing when you're an individual and you're

00:48:41.000 like here's stuff I care about and I want to talk about this and people like

00:48:45.000 listening to what you say about these certain topics. You'll do well

00:48:48.000 But then if you look at YouTube guess what?

00:48:51.000 YouTube, where all of this political commentary exists, is not unified.

00:48:55.000 If you watch, you know, Steven Crowder, you're gonna get a conservative opinion.

00:48:58.000 You watch Tim Pool, you're gonna get a more moderate opinion.

00:49:01.000 You watch Kyle Kalinske, you'll get a progressive opinion.

00:49:03.000 And it's all under the same YouTube.

00:49:05.000 Imagine if MSNBC was like that. 0.59

00:49:07.000 You turn it on at any given point, or you go to their website, and you have a bunch of different political opinions.

00:49:12.000 That's what happens when YouTube and Facebook or whatever, I'm not a big fan of these big tech companies, but when they allow individuals to create content, you end up with independent editorial decisions.

00:49:23.000 And I'll talk to people who say they watch me, they watch Crowder, and Jimmy Dore.

00:49:28.000 Jimmy Dore, I think, is a socialist.

00:49:29.000 Is he?

00:49:30.000 He's pretty far left.

00:49:31.000 Is he a socialist?

00:49:31.000 Yeah, he is.

00:49:32.000 Yeah.

00:49:32.000 Because I don't want to tell him what his views are.

00:49:34.000 I think Jimmy's great.

00:49:35.000 He's anti-establishment.

00:49:37.000 He's pretty far left.

00:49:39.000 But there are people who will watch all of us That's good for you.

00:49:43.000 If you only watch MSNBC, you're probably going insane.

00:49:47.000 And that's why this woman quits. 1.00

00:49:48.000 Let's read a little bit more.

00:49:49.000 She says, As it is, this cancer stokes national division, even in the middle of a civil rights crisis.

00:49:55.000 The model blocks diversity of thought and content because the networks have incentive to amplify fringe voices and events at the expense of others, all because it pumps up the ratings.

00:50:06.000 This cancer risks human lives, even in the middle of a pandemic.

00:50:10.000 The primary focus quickly became what Donald Trump was doing poorly to address the crisis, rather than the science itself.

00:50:18.000 As new details have become available about antibodies, a vaccine, or how COVID actually spreads, producers still want to focus on the politics.

00:50:26.000 Important facts or studies get buried.

00:50:28.000 This cancer risks our democracy, even in the middle of a presidential election.

00:50:32.000 Any discussion about the election usually focuses on Donald Trump, not Joe Biden.

00:50:36.000 A repeat offense from 2016.

00:50:39.000 Trump smothers out all other coverage.

00:50:42.000 Also important is to ensure citizens can vote by mail this year, but I've watched that topic get ignored or killed numerous times.

00:50:50.000 Wow.

00:50:51.000 Context and factual data are often considered too cumbersome for the audience.

00:50:55.000 There may be some truth to that.

00:50:57.000 Our education system really should improve critical thinking skills of Americans.

00:51:01.000 I'm sorry, Ariana, I don't think they help.

00:51:04.000 I think they hinder, to be honest.

00:51:05.000 But another hard truth is that it is the job of journalists to teach and inform, which means they might need to figure out a better way to do that.

00:51:13.000 They could contemplate more creative methods for captivating an audience.

00:51:16.000 Just about anything would improve the current process, which can be pretty rudimentary.

00:51:20.000 Think basing today's content on whatever rated well yesterday, or look to see what's trending online today.

00:51:26.000 She did make a good point, though, about that education.

00:51:28.000 She said it really should improve.

00:51:31.000 Not that it doesn't.

00:51:33.000 That's what she's saying.

00:51:35.000 So, you know, you just said you don't agree with her, but she's literally saying that schools should improve critical thinking skills.

00:51:42.000 We need more people using critical thinking to handle things.

00:51:42.000 That's what we need.

00:51:45.000 I guess I should say, to clarify, I don't think schools will work.

00:51:49.000 I'm not convinced that, without some kind of radical, absolute deconstruction of the entire system, and reforming in a totally radical and different way, I am 100% opposed to institutionalized learning facilities, which separate kids from their parents so they don't learn from their parents, puts them under the care of people who typically don't care about them, and then sends them off to colleges where you get a bunch of radical lunatics who don't actually work in their field.

00:52:12.000 I agree.

00:52:13.000 The system is messed up.

00:52:14.000 The school system needs... I mean, it goes back to unions, really.

00:52:18.000 The teachers' unions are protecting bad teachers, and it's a bad system.

00:52:21.000 It's so beyond that, though.

00:52:24.000 It's partly rooted in the fact that people use school as daycare.

00:52:28.000 Yeah, what we were talking about earlier.

00:52:30.000 So, I'll ask you something about college.

00:52:33.000 Let me ask you guys what you think.

00:52:36.000 If someone was supposed to learn how to run a media business or be a producer in a media company, would they be better served spending all of their time in school and going to college for it, or literally just sitting across the room from us right now, every time we do a show?

00:52:50.000 I'm just looking over.

00:52:52.000 You didn't go to school for this, did you?

00:52:53.000 I did not, no.

00:52:54.000 I came in and I sat down next to Tim and I learned everything I know from Tim.

00:52:58.000 And it's been great.

00:52:59.000 Super hands-on and everything I need to know I learned as I needed to know.

00:53:02.000 It's great.

00:53:03.000 The point is obvious.

00:53:04.000 You have a lot of people going to journalism school and they're learning from people who aren't actually in the field.

00:53:09.000 You look at these journalism professors on Twitter and what are they?

00:53:11.000 They're far left.

00:53:12.000 They're all far left.

00:53:13.000 And I'm like, they don't even know what they're talking about half the time.

00:53:16.000 Like, I mean facts.

00:53:17.000 Like, sure, you can give your opinion on, you know, the morality of objective versus subjective blah blah blah, ethics and all that, but do you even know the fact?

00:53:25.000 You didn't do any research.

00:53:27.000 So you have these professors.

00:53:29.000 They've actually called me in to give guest lectures on, like, methodology and technology and new reporting techniques.

00:53:34.000 So why would you spend money to literally go to a room to learn from someone who isn't working in the field?

00:53:41.000 It makes no sense.

00:53:42.000 But anyway, that's a whole other conversation.

00:53:45.000 Let's go back to ranting about the media.

00:53:48.000 She says, Occasionally, the producers will choose to do a topic or story without regard for how they think it will rate, but that is the exception, not the rule.

00:53:56.000 Due to the simple structure of the industry, the desire to charge more money for commercials, as well as the ratings bonuses that top tier decision makers earn, may always relapse I understand that the journalistic process is largely subjective, and any group of individuals may justify a different set of priorities on any given day.

00:54:16.000 Therefore, it's particularly notable to me, for one, that nearly every rundown at the network basically is the same, hour after hour, and two, they use this subjective nature of the news to justify economically beneficial decisions.

00:54:29.000 I've even heard producers deny their role as journalists.

00:54:32.000 A very capable senior producer once said, our viewers don't really consider us the news, they come to us for comfort.

00:54:39.000 MSNBC.

00:54:43.000 You know what I gotta say though?

00:54:44.000 It's true of everything though.

00:54:46.000 I'm sure it's true for a lot of people who come to watch us.

00:54:49.000 But, all I can really say is... We... Look, MSNBC has a boss.

00:54:55.000 And that boss tells the underlings, who tell their underlings, these stories don't fly at this network.

00:55:01.000 We talk about what we think is important, we often pull up the biggest stories of the day, and then we literally just give our feelings about it.

00:55:06.000 And often, Adam and I will disagree about it.

00:55:08.000 Imagine if, in this show, I was like, Adam, you gotta stop doing that.

00:55:11.000 It's better for the ratings if you just say what should be said instead of what you actually think.

00:55:15.000 Oh, I'm resisting the urge to give him two middle fingers.

00:55:18.000 But I'm not going to do it.

00:55:20.000 Because we'll get demonetized?

00:55:20.000 Nope.

00:55:21.000 Will I?

00:55:22.000 Will we?

00:55:23.000 No.

00:55:23.000 That's a joke, though.

00:55:24.000 That's a joke.

00:55:25.000 No, I just don't want people clipping that.

00:55:27.000 Right, right, right.

00:55:28.000 But look, there's a fair point in that we won't swear because you'll lose money.

00:55:34.000 Well, I mean, to be fair, I am probably overly critical.

00:55:37.000 I get several emails from people asking us not to specifically so their kids can listen in and stuff like that.

00:55:41.000 Yeah, I like that about it.

00:55:42.000 So I'll be fair in that regard, but I do think it plays a major role in why I won't swear.

00:55:46.000 Why should I lose?

00:55:47.000 You lose like 70% of revenue when you say one swear word.

00:55:50.000 Wow. 0.80

00:55:51.000 Yeah, some ridiculous amount.

00:55:52.000 So it absolutely does play a role in everyone.

00:55:55.000 But ultimately though, what I think I want to talk about, I just talk about it.

00:56:01.000 And the same for what we do versus what they do.

00:56:04.000 I don't think there's a perfect solution though.

00:56:06.000 I think any company that grows enough will fall victim to this.

00:56:09.000 Yeah.

00:56:10.000 I think even if I were to make a massive company, were I to maintain editorial control, I'd be like, no, I don't like that story for this reason.

00:56:18.000 Why are we, you know, wasting time on these certain things?

00:56:20.000 And that's why when it comes to, say, Scanner, which is doing production, I tell them, you pick, you do what you want to do.

00:56:26.000 And I think that's the best I can say for as how I'm trying to do things differently to stop this.

00:56:30.000 We've got Scanner, if you're not familiar, and they're off producing stuff, and the most I can do is like, why would you guys do this and that, huh?

00:56:37.000 Interesting.

00:56:38.000 But they have full editorial control.

00:56:38.000 Whatever.

00:56:39.000 I don't.

00:56:40.000 And that's how it's supposed to be.

00:56:42.000 Newsrooms are supposed to be editorially independent for this reason.

00:56:46.000 They're not.

00:56:47.000 She says, personally, I don't think the people need to change.

00:56:51.000 I think the job itself needs to change.

00:56:52.000 There's a better way to do this.

00:56:54.000 I'm not so cynical to think that we are absolutely doomed, though we are on that path.

00:56:57.000 Well, I disagree.

00:56:58.000 I think the media industry is doomed, if that's what she means.

00:57:02.000 I know we can find a cure.

00:57:03.000 If we can figure out how to send a man to the moon, if Alex Trebek can defy the odds with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and if Harry Reid can actually overcome pancreatic cancer, he's now cancer free, then we can fix this.

00:57:15.000 Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it's faced.

00:57:21.000 I know James Baldwin wasn't thinking about MSNBC when he wrote that line in 1962.

00:57:26.000 But those words spoke loudly to me in the summer of 2020.

00:57:29.000 Unfortunately, many of the same ailments are still at stake today.

00:57:33.000 Now, maybe we can't really change the inherently broken structure of broadcast news, but I know for certain that it won't change unless we actually face it in public and at least try to change it.

00:57:42.000 Now, I gotta, I gotta be real.

00:57:43.000 It sounds like she's actually like a lefty Democrat, liberal, like she, it doesn't seem to be a fan of Trump.

00:57:50.000 She seems to be into social justice, but she knows the destruction, the damage of this whirlpool of fake news.

00:57:56.000 You know who she reminds me of a little bit?

00:57:57.000 Who?

00:57:58.000 Is Matt Taibbi.

00:57:59.000 Yeah.

00:57:59.000 A little bit.

00:57:59.000 These liberals are waking up, man.

00:58:01.000 Yeah.

00:58:02.000 And they have voices.

00:58:03.000 I appreciate that.

00:58:04.000 Yeah.

00:58:05.000 She says, though this pandemic and the surreal alienating lockdown, through this pandemic, I've witnessed many people question their lives and what they're doing with their time on this planet.

00:58:13.000 I reckon I'm one of those people looking for greater meaning and truth.

00:58:17.000 As much as I love my life in New York, In New York City, and really don't want to leave?

00:58:21.000 I feel fortunate to be able to return to Virginia in the near term to reconnect with family, friends, and a community of independent journalists.

00:58:28.000 I am both nervous and excited about this change.

00:58:30.000 Thanks to COVID-19, I'm learning to live with uncertainty.

00:58:34.000 And so very soon, I'm going to be seeking you out.

00:58:37.000 Any one of you who also may sense that the news is fundamentally flawed and is frustrated by it.

00:58:42.000 This effort will start informally, but I hope to crystallize a plan for when better, safer days are upon us.

00:58:48.000 On that front, feel free to reach out anytime if you would like to discuss any of this.

00:58:52.000 Whether in agreement or not, more than ever, I'm craving full and civil discourse.

00:58:56.000 Until next time, thank you for reading.

00:58:58.000 I wish you all well, Ariana.

00:58:59.000 That's so great.

00:59:00.000 You know what's interesting?

00:59:01.000 Civil discourse.

00:59:02.000 That's what she's wishing for.

00:59:03.000 Yep, exactly.

00:59:04.000 Bill Maher recently ran a segment where they were wishing for civil discourse.

00:59:09.000 They were complaining about the far-left cancel culture, and now we're starting to see more and more.

00:59:14.000 So I know Bill Maher has called us out, but we're starting to see more and more people are challenging the far-left, the anti-discourse narrative, and they're challenging how the media is fueling into this.

00:59:24.000 So bravo to her.

00:59:26.000 Have you ever seen this?

00:59:26.000 What is this?

00:59:27.000 So this is the Missouri Press Association.

00:59:30.000 It's a plaque from J.W.

00:59:32.000 Brown Jr. and he's I mean this is an older this has been around for a while

00:59:37.000 it's called the journalist creed and I'm just gonna I'm just gonna read some of

00:59:41.000 these it's I can't really zoom in but I'm gonna just kind of I'm gonna read it

00:59:45.000 from here let me see if I can try and make it bigger so the number one is I

00:59:48.000 believe in the profession of journalism I believe that the pub oh oh do you just

00:59:52.000 blew it up oh that's way easier okay I believe that the public journal is a

00:59:56.000 public trust that all connected with it are to the full measure of their 0.77

01:00:01.000 responsibility trustees for the public that ignorant or that acceptance of a

01:00:06.000 lesser service than the public service is a betrayal of that trust

01:00:11.000 I believe that clear thinking and clear statement accuracy and fairness are fundamental to good journalism.

01:00:16.000 I believe that a journalist should write only what he holds in his heart to be true.

01:00:21.000 I believe that suppression of the news for any consideration other than the welfare of society is indefensible.

01:00:29.000 I gotta stop there.

01:00:30.000 Go ahead.

01:00:31.000 The welfare of society.

01:00:33.000 Suppression of the news for any consideration other than the welfare of society.

01:00:36.000 I completely disagree.

01:00:37.000 Really?

01:00:37.000 Yeah, look what they're doing now.

01:00:39.000 They're going to say racism is a public health crisis.

01:00:41.000 Therefore, hate speech must be suppressed.

01:00:44.000 Any news, any science, any information that would be bad for our cohesion must be suppressed.

01:00:50.000 Well, I mean, in that same argument, you could talk about the doctors that say they've made a breakthrough in helping people get through COVID-19.

01:00:59.000 And they're suppressing... And they're suppressing that, and that's the exact opposite of what you just said, so I mean... We have the Yale MD-PhD... What's his name?

01:01:08.000 Harvey Risch?

01:01:08.000 Yeah.

01:01:10.000 Writing op-eds saying, you know, we have a way to help fight, you know, this COVID pandemic.

01:01:16.000 Yep.

01:01:16.000 And I'm going to be careful about the words I choose on purpose because YouTube will ban me.

01:01:19.000 Well, that word you don't want to say, that isn't the case anyway.

01:01:24.000 I don't know if I even want to say it.

01:01:26.000 Risk saying it because it's not.

01:01:28.000 It's not what it is.

01:01:29.000 It's just something that helps.

01:01:31.000 It helps.

01:01:32.000 Look at this.

01:01:33.000 Look how insane this is.

01:01:34.000 I know.

01:01:34.000 Well, I've learned from you, and I don't want to risk your show.

01:01:38.000 I mean, it's my show as well, you know, but I don't want to risk it.

01:01:40.000 We can say something very simple.

01:01:42.000 Dr. Harvey Risch of Yale, MD, PhD, said hydroxychloroquine can help us through this pandemic.

01:01:50.000 I'll leave it at that, okay?

01:01:52.000 That's what he said.

01:01:53.000 It's a Newsweek op-ed.

01:01:55.000 He's an epidemiologist at Yale.

01:01:57.000 He teaches, and we can't even say this, for the betterment of society.

01:02:02.000 It's amazing.

01:02:03.000 Think about how many people died.

01:02:05.000 Right now, I saw a story, I don't know if you have this, that Gretchen Whitmer, what happened with that about the nursing homes?

01:02:11.000 She rejected a bill to make it unlawful to put Yeah, people are dying.

01:02:16.000 And there's a Yale PhD MD saying like, yo, this might help us.

01:02:18.000 That's all I'll say.

01:02:18.000 That's because that's what he said.

01:02:20.000 It could help us.

01:02:21.000 And we could get banned.

01:02:21.000 She said it was a- Yeah, people are dying.

01:02:23.000 And there's a Yale PhD MD saying like, yo, this might help us.

01:02:29.000 That's all I'll say.

01:02:30.000 That's because that's what he said.

01:02:31.000 It could help us.

01:02:32.000 And we could get banned.

01:02:34.000 We could get banned for even saying that right now.

01:02:36.000 So the problem that I see with what you're telling me about this line

01:02:40.000 is that you have to hold each one of these things true to get to that point.

01:02:44.000 So if that's the case, then they wouldn't be suppressing this stuff because they know it's not true.

01:02:50.000 They're, you know, read before.

01:02:52.000 It's like they got a hold in their heart to what they know is to be true that bring the facts, you know, so it's clear and accurate.

01:03:00.000 Who determines what's better for society though?

01:03:03.000 Well, it's not about what's better.

01:03:04.000 It's about the truth, bringing the truth to the table and showing that to the people, because the people are the people who decide.

01:03:10.000 If you had somehow definitive proof that Joe Biden was Kang from The Simpsons, an alien invader, and by revealing it, it would completely destabilize and result in chaos.

01:03:25.000 But if you don't, and he wins, then aliens take over.

01:03:28.000 Like, you've got two potentially bad scenarios.

01:03:30.000 You make a decision, yourself, about which one you think is the betterment of society, right?

01:03:35.000 That's an extreme example, but I would want the people to know the truth!

01:03:39.000 A better example would say, like, collateral murder.

01:03:45.000 We'll use that one.

01:03:46.000 A video released by WikiLeaks that shows the US killing Reuters journalists.

01:03:51.000 They editorialized the title, Collateral Murder, but it shows like, I guess it's been a long time, it's been like a decade, but it's like an Apache helicopter and they see people walking so they just shoot them and they die.

01:04:01.000 And there's a real decision about whether or not to release that information because it could destabilize, cause massive protests, economic destruction, harm to people's business and lives.

01:04:12.000 And so there are, there literally are journalists who are like, I can see this, we better not talk about it because the repercussions will be devastating to the American public and it won't better anything.

01:04:21.000 But there are other people, like Julian Assange, who would say no, that people have a right to know what their government is doing in their name.

01:04:26.000 Both would think that their position is the right position.

01:04:28.000 So it's difficult, it really is.

01:04:30.000 It does come down to the subjective morality of the individual who wants to publish the information.

01:04:35.000 And yet when we have news sources on the left side that people are now quitting because they can't even stand that being in the, you know, working for these people, but then people on the right that are trying to push the truth out there, getting banned from everything, getting squashed, getting canceled, you know, so now it's only okay to just talk about this left stuff, which we're finding out people don't even want to do that anymore.

01:04:59.000 They realize that it's a cancer to society.

01:05:02.000 So it's not for the benefit of anyone.

01:05:05.000 You know, so they've decided on their own without the rest of the people discussing it.

01:05:12.000 You know, they're just making these decisions on their own with all the power behind them.

01:05:16.000 That's not okay with me.

01:05:17.000 I would much rather let everyone know that Biden's an alien.

01:05:22.000 If you knew who he was.

01:05:23.000 If I had the proof?

01:05:24.000 Oh yeah!

01:05:26.000 I'd blast it everywhere.

01:05:28.000 I mean, I certainly have my limits, but I lean towards complete transparency.

01:05:33.000 The challenge is when you recognize we're not the only country on this planet.

01:05:36.000 And one of the things I've learned from a lot of these hard transparency activists is they act as though the U.S.

01:05:42.000 is the only country.

01:05:43.000 That's a good point.

01:05:45.000 It's interesting when you see that these far leftists, their ideology only exists under the presumption of these people that they're white supremacists.

01:05:54.000 So they talk about whiteness and all of these things, but the perspective of the intersectional left is the perspective of a white supremacist.

01:06:02.000 In America.

01:06:03.000 Right.

01:06:04.000 And exactly.

01:06:04.000 They view this country as being the only country, and the same is true for a lot of the anti-war people.

01:06:08.000 Their narrative of America the evil empire is operating under the assumption that we're the only country on the planet.

01:06:15.000 That's a good point.

01:06:16.000 And it ignores all the atrocities of China.

01:06:17.000 I mean, look at Greta Thunberg. 0.99

01:06:19.000 Yeah.

01:06:20.000 Her whole narrative about it's so America-centric.

01:06:23.000 It's insane.

01:06:24.000 Well, not just China.

01:06:25.000 I mean, in Africa, I mean, there's slaves being traded right now in multiple countries, you know.

01:06:31.000 And China, I mean, Nike straight up can't prove that they don't use slave labor to make their shoes.

01:06:37.000 Yeah.

01:06:38.000 That, you know, I see the Nike on every NBA when they're standing up for Black Lives Matter.

01:06:42.000 But then, of course, those same uniforms that they're wearing are probably made from slaves in China. 0.63

01:06:47.000 It's like, That's crazy to me.

01:06:50.000 They're just blind to it.

01:06:52.000 They're like, nope, we're so virtuous because, you know, we're wearing this shirt now.

01:06:56.000 I had a friend who, I think I've told this story before, you know, argue with me how they were fighting for the betterment of the world.

01:07:03.000 And I said, no, you're fighting for the betterment of yourself.

01:07:05.000 Yep, absolutely.

01:07:06.000 And they were like, that's not true.

01:07:08.000 I'm hoping to make the world a better place.

01:07:09.000 And I was like, you're using a laptop that was built in Foxconn laboratories.

01:07:14.000 Right, exactly.

01:07:14.000 Where people are basically crammed in tiny boxes, work 16 hour days, and are committing mass suicide because they're slaves.

01:07:19.000 Yep.

01:07:20.000 I was like, if you really care about the world, you wouldn't be giving your resources to that.

01:07:23.000 And that, I think, was a hard wake-up call.

01:07:26.000 And the response was?

01:07:27.000 What?

01:07:28.000 But I'm more effective with this.

01:07:30.000 Of course you are!

01:07:31.000 Of course you are!

01:07:31.000 Sure.

01:07:32.000 That's great that you use slave labor. 0.87

01:07:34.000 You're more effective at furthering yourself with that.

01:07:37.000 Yep.

01:07:37.000 Thinking you're doing good.

01:07:39.000 I remember seeing this documentary where a bunch of activists went to the CEO of Shell

01:07:43.000 Corporation and they were yelling at his house and he came out and sat down with them and

01:07:47.000 talked to them and they were like, your company is doing all these bad things and he's like,

01:07:51.000 yeah I know.

01:07:52.000 And they were like, well stop it.

01:07:53.000 He's like, that's what I'm doing.

01:07:55.000 And they're like, you are?

01:07:56.000 And he's like, yeah, yeah, I'm putting all this stuff in place to try and make the company

01:07:58.000 do better.

01:07:59.000 And they were like, oh.

01:08:01.000 But the problem is the machine keeps on turning because of the machine's requirements.

01:08:04.000 Yes, exactly.

01:08:05.000 It's not so easy to just think there's a magic bullet.

01:08:08.000 It reminds me of Wonder Woman, how she thinks, if you just kill Ares, the war stops.

01:08:13.000 And Chris Pine, or whatever his name is, is like, no!

01:08:16.000 People go to war, man!

01:08:17.000 People are bad.

01:08:18.000 People are good.

01:08:19.000 There's always going to be bad people in the world.

01:08:21.000 Period.

01:08:21.000 So this is what bothers me, is that you have so many people that are just Not smart.

01:08:28.000 And they think they are.

01:08:29.000 And it's really, really bad.

01:08:30.000 I'll tell you, there's a really simple thing, a really simple way to put it.

01:08:33.000 I don't think I'm always right.

01:08:34.000 I don't think I have all the answers.

01:08:35.000 And I'm pretty sure I get a bunch of things wrong.

01:08:36.000 And I'm pretty sure that, you know, I'm not seeing the picture for as complete.

01:08:41.000 I'm not seeing the full view of what's happening in politics.

01:08:44.000 I'm only seeing what I can see.

01:08:45.000 But I'll tell you what, I can recognize when you have someone like Greta Thunberg, Come out and say, oh actually I don't have the audio turned on for that anyway. 0.97

01:08:54.000 Oh no!

01:08:55.000 When she comes out and complains about the U.S.

01:08:58.000 and western carbon emissions.

01:08:59.000 How dare you! 0.99

01:09:00.000 There you go.

01:09:02.000 And ignores China.

01:09:03.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:09:04.000 Because it's a narrative.

01:09:05.000 It's a media narrative.

01:09:06.000 It has nothing to do with actually making the world a better place.

01:09:08.000 And she's not smart enough, and I don't mean this to disrespect her, she's a kid.

01:09:12.000 And she doesn't know how the world works.

01:09:14.000 So she saw a commercial about a starving polar bear probably and then goes outside saying, this is bad.

01:09:18.000 And everyone's like, aw, and they pat her on the head, they fly around the world because it fits their political agenda, and she has no idea what she's talking about.

01:09:24.000 She doesn't even write her own speeches, though.

01:09:25.000 That's the problem.

01:09:26.000 She's being pushed forward by all these, you know, activists that are trying to push this narrative that the Western civilization is who's destroying the world, but it's like, no, we're actually on the forefront of showing, like, new environmental protections and curbing back everything.

01:09:44.000 We have Tesla.

01:09:45.000 I know!

01:09:45.000 Hey, we have amazing solar roofs, man.

01:09:47.000 I mean, they're really expensive, but it's cool stuff.

01:09:50.000 Yeah, and the fact that she doesn't talk about China at all is, it discredits everything she says, as far as I'm concerned.

01:09:56.000 Because they're the worst, as far as polluting this planet.

01:09:59.000 There's only one thing she says.

01:10:00.000 How dare you! 0.99

01:10:01.000 Because everything else is written by somebody else.

01:10:03.000 That's true.

01:10:04.000 She doesn't have any real opinions.

01:10:06.000 It's like, imagine if you took a kid.

01:10:08.000 It's almost like the allegory of the cave.

01:10:12.000 You know what this is?

01:10:13.000 No, I don't.

01:10:14.000 You know what I'm talking about.

01:10:15.000 Socrates cave?

01:10:15.000 Yeah.

01:10:16.000 No, I won't break it down for you because I don't fully grasp it.

01:10:19.000 The general idea is that if people were sitting in a cave, and there was a fire behind them, and there were shadows, and they were chained there, and that's the only thing they've ever seen, that to them, that's what the world is.

01:10:31.000 But then outside the cave is this big, you know, other world and all these things they never experienced and never even realized existed.

01:10:37.000 So the cave is America.

01:10:39.000 That's all they know.

01:10:40.000 It's all, everything's here.

01:10:41.000 Everyone here is, you know, supremacists.

01:10:43.000 And it's like, you have no idea the type of people that are not living here and how good it is here.

01:10:49.000 If the idea doesn't exist, they can't talk about it.

01:10:54.000 People don't realize, man.

01:10:56.000 It's mind numbing when I hear people rag on the American Revolution.

01:10:59.000 It was literally just a bunch of white slave owners trying to protect their wealth. 0.54

01:11:04.000 And it's like, you have no idea because you didn't read a book.

01:11:07.000 You didn't read anything.

01:11:08.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:11:09.000 It's about beating the monarchy and letting the people rule instead of being told what to do.

01:11:14.000 By divine providence.

01:11:15.000 Yeah.

01:11:16.000 It's like the opposite of what they're trying to say.

01:11:19.000 It was people realizing that you don't just get to be in charge because you said you're in charge.

01:11:26.000 And that's what the American Revolution was.

01:11:27.000 They're like, hey, wait a minute.

01:11:29.000 Why is he king again?

01:11:30.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:11:31.000 Well, because God made him king.

01:11:33.000 We don't have a king and we're just fine.

01:11:34.000 No, we're gonna rule ourselves and elect our own rulers and do this together.

01:11:40.000 What was amazing about it- That's amazing.

01:11:42.000 When you lived under these monarchies, that's the only thing you knew.

01:11:45.000 But all of a sudden these colonies were thousands of miles away and they were like, we don't have a king here.

01:11:49.000 Everything's working out just fine.

01:11:51.000 We have to have, they had to have governors and they had to have, you know, local politicians and, you know, police sheriffs, et cetera.

01:11:58.000 And they decided, then why have the king in the first place?

01:12:02.000 It was an ideological revolution.

01:12:04.000 These ideas that come so easy to us because we have history books and we collect data, didn't exist several hundred years ago.

01:12:13.000 It's amazing.

01:12:14.000 You know, you really gotta play the game.

01:12:15.000 I think the game Civilization should be required schooling for kids.

01:12:19.000 Really?

01:12:20.000 Yeah, because when you start the game, communism, feudalism, capitalism, none of these things exist.

01:12:26.000 Okay.

01:12:26.000 That's literally what happened.

01:12:28.000 It wasn't like, you know, some, like a couple people crawled out of a cave and they were like, Capitalism, and they started trading money.

01:12:34.000 The concept of money was just, there was no idea it existed.

01:12:37.000 In fact, there's probably a whole bunch of civic ideas, methodologies for running countries that we don't know about right now, and we will develop in a hundred years.

01:12:48.000 They're gonna be like the Gerbo department, and they're gonna be like, oh, go down to the Gerbo department to pick up the resources you need.

01:12:55.000 And they're going to be like, man, could you imagine before there was a Gerbo department? 0.81

01:12:59.000 And right now we're like, I don't even know what that is.

01:13:00.000 I just made up a word, but there could literally be something that in the future is totally normal to them.

01:13:06.000 I can't wait for the Gerbo department. 0.99

01:13:07.000 I know it's going to be fantastic.

01:13:09.000 that's going to take care of all of your problems.

01:13:10.000 Yeah.

01:13:10.000 Every, every, every little thing it's got a cure for it.

01:13:13.000 Death, anxiety, mental illness, constipation.

01:13:15.000 Just take this little pill.

01:13:16.000 It's red and it goes down smooth.

01:13:19.000 You, you walk in and you press a button and a little arm comes out and drops the,

01:13:23.000 you know, the little pill in your mouth, in your hand and then you eat it and then all of your troubles go away.

01:13:27.000 Yep.

01:13:29.000 So, anyway, the point is, people don't realize that ideas and inventions are very, very similar.

01:13:35.000 Basically the same thing.

01:13:37.000 It's like, it's one thing to realize, hey, we invented the light bulb at some point.

01:13:40.000 Then we invented the light-emitting diode, and now we have crazy lights all over the place that can change colors and be voice-activated.

01:13:46.000 And they also don't realize that capitalism, the concepts of it, was literally, like, formulated by someone thinking and being like, hmm, interesting, here are some interesting ideas.

01:13:57.000 The same is true for communism.

01:13:58.000 These things didn't exist at a certain point.

01:14:00.000 Now they exist.

01:14:01.000 These ideas exist.

01:14:02.000 And now people have them and take them for granted.

01:14:06.000 And because of this, they're not smart enough to recognize, like, the importance of the Revolutionary War.

01:14:11.000 Anyway, the point is why I brought all this up.

01:14:13.000 Imagine if you took a kid who only ever lived in a white room and the only problem they ever had was that if they ate too many of the grapes that were given to them, they would get sprayed with water.

01:14:25.000 To them, they would be like arguing with other kids being like, how can we change this system?

01:14:30.000 It is so bad when we get sprayed by water for having too many grapes.

01:14:33.000 I should have more grapes.

01:14:35.000 Then you put them out into the real world.

01:14:36.000 They go to the UN.

01:14:37.000 We propose no more hosings for too many grapes!

01:14:40.000 And people are gonna be, like, clapping.

01:14:43.000 And then, like, people who actually know what's going on are like, what are they talking?

01:14:46.000 This is insane.

01:14:46.000 You can have as many grapes as you want in the real world.

01:14:49.000 Right.

01:14:49.000 You just gotta go buy them.

01:14:51.000 Go buy some grapes or grow some grapes.

01:14:53.000 This is the example of the reason I use something as absurd as like someone going to the UN saying stop hosing me if I eat too many grapes is because it sounds insane.

01:15:00.000 Yeah.

01:15:01.000 This is what it's like with Greta Thunberg going to these, you know, this UN meeting or whatever and saying, how dare you? 1.00

01:15:07.000 Yeah.

01:15:07.000 When you're like, you have, why are we listening to a child who has no idea other countries exist?

01:15:12.000 And it's not like she's an economist.

01:15:14.000 She doesn't understand, like... Oh, that's my favorite part about it.

01:15:17.000 ...the major wheels of society and how many different facets of everything go into everything to give us everything that we have.

01:15:26.000 It's crazy.

01:15:27.000 This is the danger of the far left.

01:15:29.000 Just shut it all down, Tim.

01:15:30.000 Just stop, you know, these factories.

01:15:33.000 And it's like, okay, you do understand the implications of that, of just shutting down fossil fuels right now, because we cannot.

01:15:40.000 Well, we could, yeah.

01:15:41.000 Oh, but I'm sure millions of people will die.

01:15:43.000 Exactly!

01:15:44.000 Millions of people will die.

01:15:47.000 That's the danger of the far left, exactly that.

01:15:49.000 That they're going around saying, why can't we just print more money?

01:15:52.000 And you're like, dude, read a book. 0.98

01:15:54.000 Like, you're going to kill people.

01:15:55.000 No, I'm not. 0.98

01:15:56.000 You are.

01:15:58.000 Why?

01:15:58.000 You know what, man?

01:16:00.000 It's really, really difficult.

01:16:02.000 With all due respect to our great founding fathers, the one thing they couldn't predict was the scale of human expansion.

01:16:08.000 True.

01:16:09.000 And government.

01:16:10.000 You know another thing people don't realize?

01:16:13.000 Before the era of instant communications, the majority of people's lives were spent doing day-to-day nothingness.

01:16:20.000 Probably tending to gardens, honestly.

01:16:22.000 Tending to gardens, farming, doing regular work.

01:16:24.000 And it was like every other month they'd be like, Whoa, I can't believe that just happened in England!

01:16:30.000 Write a note, three months later, the response would get there.

01:16:33.000 Which meant there were months of nothing going on.

01:16:36.000 Whereas today, with instant communication, we know right away when something happens.

01:16:41.000 So our lives are the opposite of boring.

01:16:43.000 They're tense, and anxiety-inducing, and all around nuts that we have this level of communication.

01:16:51.000 You know, I think back to, you know, I was reading about the Civil War, the Revolutionary War, and the gap in communication.

01:16:57.000 And you would end up with, like, you know, a military operation in the Revolutionary War where they're sitting around for, like, a week.

01:17:03.000 And we're thinking of everything being action-packed.

01:17:05.000 We can get from New York to D.C.

01:17:07.000 in a couple hours.

01:17:07.000 To them, it was, like, weeks or longer because everyone's gotta eat, they gotta stop.

01:17:11.000 Now we put them all on a train, boom, you're there in a couple hours.

01:17:13.000 Set up camp, break down camp.

01:17:16.000 And wait for instructions, even.

01:17:17.000 Yeah, good point.

01:17:18.000 Where were they getting their food from?

01:17:20.000 And I was reading about it and I'm like, you know what?

01:17:22.000 Outside of the conflict stuff, it was simpler times.

01:17:25.000 It really was.

01:17:26.000 And I can understand why people would romanticize the past in that regard.

01:17:29.000 That you'd wake up one day and you'd be like, I gotta go tend to the crop.

01:17:33.000 You'd go do your thing and then you'd sit back and you'd hear the, you know, the Crickets, you'd see the lightning bugs and stuff.

01:17:39.000 Smoke your pipe.

01:17:39.000 Smoke your pipe, and that was it.

01:17:41.000 And it was like that for a month, and then finally, you know, your communication came in.

01:17:45.000 You're like, oh, so that's what's happening on the war front.

01:17:47.000 And you'd fill out your response, and then go back to doing your day-to-day thing.

01:17:50.000 It was really, really simple, with politics being few and far between.

01:17:56.000 But now that we have, we've rapid, you know, rapid transit, rapid communications, It's, it's like we are truly becoming a hive mind, you know, for better or for worse.

01:18:05.000 And we're, we're, we're learning how to be that because it's, it's very rocky right now, but you can see that we are, we are all becoming so connected and it's, it's going to be rocky for a little while longer until we truly understand, you know, the, what the implications of, of everyone else being so connected really does.

01:18:27.000 You know what intersectionalism is?

01:18:29.000 It's the Borg.

01:18:31.000 It's an arm of the Borg.

01:18:33.000 What I mean is, right now with rapid communications, we've seen a rapid polarization.

01:18:38.000 So you have the left and the right.

01:18:40.000 The far right's been totally purged, and even right wing is being decimated by censorship.

01:18:46.000 So you have a centrist to moderate right faction, and then you have...

01:18:50.000 I mean, let's be real.

01:18:53.000 If you took a, you know, a year 2005 Christian conservative and had them tweet what they believed, they would be banned in two seconds.

01:19:04.000 Tweeting, like, they'd be opposed to gay marriage and stuff like this, let alone trans rights issues.

01:19:08.000 Now you have whatever the right is being absolutely supportive and libertarian on a ton of these issues.

01:19:14.000 True.

01:19:15.000 So you have a far left and then you have basically liberty.

01:19:18.000 Libertarianism, liberalism, and conservatism kind of overlapping around a general concept of free expression, free thought.

01:19:26.000 And I think overwhelmingly the thing that unites this faction is liberty.

01:19:31.000 You have liberty versus the cult.

01:19:34.000 If the cult wins and everyone else gets banned, then that becomes the dominant culture.

01:19:41.000 And that's what Fusion was predicting.

01:19:43.000 Yes.

01:19:43.000 Wrongly so.

01:19:45.000 Because I don't believe that's going to be the case.

01:19:47.000 I don't think they were wrong because of where we're at today.

01:19:49.000 But they were saying everyone is going to be like this and that is not going to happen.

01:19:53.000 In like 10 more years.

01:19:56.000 If Biden wins, Yep, yep, and so that's that's the big fight is because the way the communications technology is Uniting the world culturally.

01:20:05.000 Yeah, and the speed at which information and and travel technology, you know, and you know transport can get us places We're homogenizing this planet very very quickly true.

01:20:16.000 I went to the Bahamas.

01:20:17.000 Okay, and you know what?

01:20:18.000 I saw once I got off that boat at NASA and Starbucks?

01:20:22.000 Yeah, seriously.

01:20:24.000 Starbucks, Gucci, Hard Rock Cafe.

01:20:27.000 And so I'm on this cruise and I'm like, man, it's gonna be so exciting to go to this, you know, I've never been here before.

01:20:33.000 I'm sure there's gonna be like unique tourist places.

01:20:36.000 It's like being in Times Square.

01:20:38.000 I've been to Nassau.

01:20:40.000 You can go to the south side of the island and it's a little bit more rural.

01:20:44.000 Unsurprisingly, it's funny, I'm in Egypt, right?

01:20:50.000 The revolution.

01:20:50.000 There's people in Tahrir Square, they're all screaming, ah!

01:20:53.000 And I look over to my left and there's McDonald's and there's a guy eating a cheeseburger.

01:20:55.000 And I'm like, I'm in Egypt.

01:20:57.000 I can just walk into a McDonald's.

01:21:00.000 We're everywhere.

01:21:01.000 Yep.

01:21:01.000 The culture is homogenizing.

01:21:03.000 What we need to make sure is that the culture that ends up, you know, the cultural ideas that persist and survive are ones of individual liberty.

01:21:11.000 Because if we end up with this massive system of Benveni or else religious doctrine and we have a fundamentalist global society, it will be a nightmare for everybody and it will fall apart and more importantly it will completely collapse on itself.

01:21:25.000 Yep.

01:21:26.000 Authoritarianism fails almost every single time.

01:21:30.000 And they say, like, communism has failed every time it's been tried.

01:21:33.000 It's like, yes!

01:21:34.000 That's authoritarianism.

01:21:36.000 Well, Tim, it's not real communism.

01:21:39.000 Yeah.

01:21:40.000 Yes, it is.

01:21:42.000 Yes, it is.

01:21:42.000 When you see these people, like Greta Thunberg, saying, we need to shut down all fossil fuels, not by 2030 or 2025, but now!

01:21:51.000 It's like, so you want millions to die?

01:21:53.000 No, of course not.

01:21:54.000 But they would if we did what you asked for.

01:21:57.000 No.

01:21:59.000 Yes.

01:22:00.000 Has anyone actually said that to her?

01:22:01.000 Of course not.

01:22:03.000 Has anyone said to her, you realize China's pumping up like massive amounts of carbon emissions, way worse than the US. 0.74

01:22:08.000 Yeah, to produce everything for everyone.

01:22:11.000 Most people in America agree with you.

01:22:13.000 So we don't need you preaching to us.

01:22:14.000 How about you go talk about China?

01:22:16.000 You won't?

01:22:16.000 Yeah.

01:22:17.000 Oh, what's the point?

01:22:18.000 It's political narrative.

01:22:19.000 It's optics.

01:22:20.000 It's insane.

01:22:21.000 Well, I'll tell you what, man, I got bad news for you.

01:22:24.000 Here it is.

01:22:26.000 Humanity likely faces rapid catastrophic collapse, study warns.

01:22:30.000 But you know what?

01:22:31.000 I'm not going to read this article.

01:22:33.000 You know why?

01:22:34.000 I don't want to read it either.

01:22:35.000 We're not going to.

01:22:35.000 Because we've got something better to talk about.

01:22:38.000 Oh, thank goodness.

01:22:40.000 A new hope.

01:22:41.000 Elon Musk.

01:22:41.000 Yeah.

01:22:42.000 What an I got a crush on him.

01:22:44.000 OK, we I don't I love it.

01:22:48.000 I I love scientists.

01:22:50.000 I love astronauts.

01:22:51.000 I love space.

01:22:52.000 And he he is like living the American dream. He came here and is making

01:22:57.000 major waves on the space front.

01:23:01.000 And it's amazing.

01:23:02.000 Like, we need that.

01:23:03.000 I'm so psyched to have him in this country doing what he's doing that

01:23:07.000 Donald Trump, you know, brought the Artemis program into effect.

01:23:11.000 You know, we're going to go to the moon, you know, potentially in the next three years, four years.

01:23:16.000 It's like we're gonna go to the moon We're planning on going to Mars like this is exciting.

01:23:20.000 This is such an exciting time for human life and there's a it's awesome and There's a reason why I started this segment with a story saying we're facing catastrophic disaster.

01:23:31.000 Because there is a real reason that we need the Artemis Project, why we need people like Elon Musk.

01:23:38.000 Yep.

01:23:39.000 And it's because if we are to survive, we need to look to the stars, we need to expand.

01:23:42.000 And even outside of this idea of colonizing other planets or expanding, space technology and development, this technology we develop for space travel, we use here on Earth.

01:23:52.000 Yep.

01:23:54.000 Which brings me to this story.

01:23:57.000 This is like the silliest part of like what I want to talk about with this, what the SpaceX, the whole Dragon capsule working and what it means for America.

01:24:08.000 But go ahead.

01:24:09.000 No, no, no.

01:24:11.000 This is hilarious, though.

01:24:12.000 A boat flying a Trump flag approached SpaceX's spaceship after the astronauts landed.

01:24:18.000 NASA promised to do a better job next time.

01:24:21.000 I think they did a great job.

01:24:22.000 I think it's great.

01:24:22.000 I think it's hilarious.

01:24:24.000 Listen, this guy with the flag who showed up, whether you like Trump or not, that's hope and that's optimism.

01:24:24.000 It's perfect.

01:24:30.000 Yeah, it is.

01:24:30.000 That's a dude rolling up to this SpaceX thing and he's excited.

01:24:33.000 He's happy.

01:24:33.000 You've got people who want to see this.

01:24:35.000 They're cheering for SpaceX.

01:24:36.000 They're having a good time.

01:24:37.000 And that's the optimism I like to see.

01:24:39.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:24:40.000 I got to tell you, man, I have seen Trump flags and banners and stickers placed in the craziest places.

01:24:45.000 Oh, yeah.

01:24:46.000 We talked about this.

01:24:46.000 Where we are, there's like a weird lake under a highway.

01:24:49.000 It's like, not something you go into.

01:24:51.000 It's gross.

01:24:51.000 And somebody, like, somehow got out into the middle of it and put a Trump flag.

01:24:55.000 Whoa, whoa.

01:24:56.000 The bear collar.

01:24:57.000 The bear collar.

01:24:58.000 I don't know if you've seen this.

01:25:00.000 We don't have it pulled up, but there's like, you know, one of those tracking collars on a black bear.

01:25:04.000 And someone somehow stuck a Trump 2020 sticker on it.

01:25:08.000 And there's a $5,000 cash reward.

01:25:11.000 Like the police are trying to figure out who put it on there.

01:25:13.000 It's like somebody cares.

01:25:15.000 That's awesome Yeah, I think they would eat you somebody approached a black bear.

01:25:21.000 Yes to put a Trump 2020 sticker on the collar I mean, I feel like they're This is not this is not the important news If you want to talk about SpaceX, yeah, I mean we went back to space at under $2 million per flight is insane compared to the $30,

01:25:43.000 $40 million it costs that we were paying Russia to send our astronauts into space.

01:25:48.000 So the fact that we can do it for a pittance compared to what we were spending, now we

01:25:53.000 can do it from American soil.

01:25:55.000 We can do it over and over again, reusing the rockets.

01:25:58.000 That's why it costs so cheap.

01:25:59.000 This is the first step in a very new age of space travel, and it's incredible.

01:26:06.000 So Elon Musk, props to you.

01:26:08.000 You've done an amazing job of bringing Bob and Doug back to the country, to Earth. 0.95

01:26:15.000 to terra firma and it's it's an incredible time to see that this is this stage now he's working on a spaceship that's one unit that will fly up and fly around and come back down to earth wow yeah i mean he told you you to your tweet you know what's our shit yeah what's up

01:26:32.000 with the iron man suit you on and now i tweeted that

01:26:35.000 hate you on musk why haven't you got an iron man suit yet yeah and he said

01:26:38.000 working on starship yeah and i said that is an acceptable response so he's doing

01:26:42.000 it and i think that they're they're doing tests this week about trying to

01:26:45.000 figure out to actually make that happens so so so this ship

01:26:49.000 can launch Yep.

01:26:51.000 Go into space and land back.

01:26:53.000 That's the plan.

01:26:54.000 That seems insane to me.

01:26:55.000 Well, I know, but look, have you watched the Falcon 9 land?

01:26:59.000 Yeah, of course, of course.

01:27:00.000 That was insane to me.

01:27:02.000 That was CGI to me until I saw it over and over and over again and then I was watching it live and I'm like, I mean...

01:27:10.000 We need a better form of propulsion, levitation, whatever.

01:27:12.000 Like we need a dragon capsule flew itself docked itself. It was fully autonomous

01:27:18.000 we need a better form of Propulsion levitation whatever like what's it's I think it's

01:27:25.000 rad that we're doing this Yeah, but I'm curious if Elon Musk is is doing research in

01:27:31.000 other areas. Oh Oh, come on.

01:27:32.000 Of course he is.

01:27:33.000 I know.

01:27:34.000 You've got to think of the two companies that he's using.

01:27:37.000 SpaceX, which is what we're talking about, and then Tesla, which is an electric powered vehicle factory that he's, you know, and you think about the advancements of solar energy, batteries, you know, there's only a matter of time before they figure out some sort of new technology that gets us into space without any sort of propellant.

01:27:58.000 I got it.

01:27:58.000 What?

01:27:59.000 A really big magnet.

01:28:01.000 Well, I was thinking a big slingshot.

01:28:04.000 Or a little bit of both, actually.

01:28:05.000 Have you seen the movie Moon?

01:28:07.000 No.

01:28:07.000 Oh, wait, wait, wait.

01:28:07.000 Yeah, maybe.

01:28:08.000 Yeah.

01:28:09.000 I mean, it's kind of old.

01:28:09.000 That was Sam Rockwell?

01:28:10.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:28:11.000 Awesome movie.

01:28:12.000 Yeah, good movie.

01:28:12.000 But there's a magnetic slingshot, actually, and it's basically just a mag system that shoots you out into above orbit so you can break orbit.

01:28:22.000 Yeah, like a rail gun.

01:28:23.000 Exactly a railgun so that's that I think that's gonna be kind of the future because if we set up like a Nice solid railgun system.

01:28:31.000 I mean, I think you need to get to like 200 miles So if we used magnets to propel us and then with a little bit of a rocket assistance You know to get us the rest of the way.

01:28:43.000 I don't know.

01:28:44.000 Yeah, you know, I'm not a rocket scientist So I'm just saying I think it's like the the size of a ship you need to carry all the fuel Yeah, especially for a landing A full vessel?

01:28:52.000 That to me sounds crazy.

01:28:54.000 But listen, man.

01:28:55.000 Politics still play a huge role in this.

01:28:57.000 That's true.

01:28:58.000 If we're being warned by the likes of, say, Greta Thunberg, that the Earth, we have 8 years left or 12 years left, I don't know, whatever.

01:29:05.000 It keeps changing.

01:29:06.000 10 years, 12 years.

01:29:07.000 Now we have a new study saying the end is nigh.

01:29:09.000 Take a look at all the accounts on Twitter ragging on Elon Musk.

01:29:13.000 Where do they fall politically?

01:29:14.000 Probably on the left.

01:29:15.000 They definitely do.

01:29:16.000 And I mean, I see this whole thing about how, well, Elon Musk praised China and it's like, yeah, because like they are trying to push into space also.

01:29:26.000 They're trying to, you know, push forward that this, their kids, the number one thing that they answered on what Chinese children, not political, the children of China, that they haven't done anything wrong yet.

01:29:39.000 They want to be scientists when they grow up.

01:29:41.000 When was that from, that study?

01:29:43.000 I don't know.

01:29:44.000 I read it a couple months ago, so it could be older.

01:29:46.000 They want to be astronauts.

01:29:47.000 Oh, even better.

01:29:48.000 I know.

01:29:49.000 It's actually more to your point.

01:29:50.000 They want to go to space.

01:29:51.000 Right.

01:29:53.000 And what do our kids want to do?

01:29:55.000 They want to be YouTubers.

01:29:56.000 They want to be influencers.

01:29:58.000 They want to make duck face on Instagram and TikTok.

01:30:00.000 Okay.

01:30:01.000 That's another way of putting it.

01:30:03.000 I'm not disagreeing with you.

01:30:04.000 So it's like, when you think about what China We gotta remember that the CCP is not China as a whole.

01:30:13.000 We gotta let go of that, because the CCP is terrible.

01:30:15.000 They are doing terrible things.

01:30:17.000 They're the problem.

01:30:18.000 They are absolutely the issue.

01:30:20.000 I still feel for a lot of the Chinese citizens that have no choice in this matter right now.

01:30:24.000 Think about the epic history of China before the rise of Mao and the Communist Party.

01:30:30.000 Amazing.

01:30:30.000 Yeah, they've been tainted by the evils of the CCP.

01:30:33.000 Yep, that's a good point.

01:30:35.000 That's nasty, dude.

01:30:35.000 Yes, it is.

01:30:36.000 Nasty stuff.

01:30:37.000 And that bums me out.

01:30:38.000 It bums me out a lot.

01:30:40.000 A lot of cool storied history, you know.

01:30:43.000 And it's covered up now by communism.

01:30:47.000 Yeah.

01:30:47.000 I mean, I want to go visit China.

01:30:50.000 I want to go visit Russia.

01:30:51.000 I want to go visit everywhere.

01:30:52.000 I want to go to Egypt.

01:30:53.000 And I think there's going to be amazing people everywhere I go.

01:30:57.000 Because that's actually been the case.

01:30:58.000 And I've traveled around the world.

01:31:00.000 I've been to many, many places.

01:31:02.000 And there's awesome people everywhere.

01:31:05.000 Not awesome people.

01:31:06.000 Really bad people in some places.

01:31:07.000 In most places too, you know, including here.

01:31:09.000 I don't, if, you know, Elon Musk apparently, what did he say, like China is awesome or something?

01:31:14.000 Yeah.

01:31:14.000 Referencing their space programs or something like that?

01:31:16.000 Yeah, probably because they're, you know, well, and, you know, they have a billion people that are probably buying a lot of Teslas.

01:31:24.000 It's like, that's the future of, you know, travel on this planet also.

01:31:28.000 I'm a bit tepid.

01:31:30.000 I don't have really strong words of criticism, nor do I have strong words of praise for him.

01:31:34.000 I can criticize him for it, but I can understand that there absolutely are parts of China and things that the Chinese people do that are awesome, that you can be happy with.

01:31:42.000 But I'm not going to say I'm happy with Elon Musk saying that, especially as wealthy as he is.

01:31:48.000 Well, I don't know the details.

01:31:49.000 I don't know exactly what he's referring to.

01:31:51.000 I'm assuming because he sells Teslas out there and that he probably makes a lot of money.

01:31:58.000 Why isn't anyone coming down to the NBA right now?

01:32:02.000 We are.

01:32:02.000 Sure, we are.

01:32:04.000 But they're going to praise the NBA when they're doing exactly... It's political.

01:32:10.000 It's political.

01:32:11.000 Period.

01:32:11.000 So the reason why I say I'm a bit tepid on it is if there's something about the hard work of the Chinese people working towards space advancement, that's a fine thing.

01:32:20.000 But I would lean negative if I knew the fuller details.

01:32:24.000 I don't think we should be at a point where we're praising what China as a whole is doing because the CCP runs everything they're doing.

01:32:30.000 I was not praising China at all.

01:32:34.000 So this is the title of this is Elon Musk bombshell tech boss warns a complacent and entitled US is losing to China and that was the force of his message.

01:32:44.000 He was talking about China being efficient and effective and the US just being entitled. 0.94

01:32:49.000 And there it is.

01:32:50.000 It's like someone's been selling out our country for the past 20 years to China.

01:32:54.000 It's like the media took him out of context when the idea he was trying to convey was, they're doing a really good job in these areas and we're losing to them.

01:33:04.000 So saying something like, dude, the U.S. 0.88

01:33:05.000 sucks and when it comes to space, China's awesome. 0.99

01:33:07.000 It gets better. 1.00

01:33:08.000 Oh yeah?

01:33:10.000 So somebody asked him a question, how about China as an electric vehicle strategy leader in the world?

01:33:15.000 The tech mogul replied, China rocks, in my opinion.

01:33:18.000 The energy in China is great.

01:33:20.000 People there.

01:33:21.000 There's like a lot of smart, hardworking people.

01:33:23.000 So again, he is referring, of course, to the people, not the party.

01:33:26.000 There it is.

01:33:27.000 Yep.

01:33:28.000 That's exactly what I was thinking.

01:33:29.000 And of course, the people who are criticizing him are the ones who hate the fact that he's going to bring us to space.

01:33:33.000 Yep.

01:33:34.000 Dude, it really does feel... I'm sorry, man.

01:33:36.000 I hate to go in this direction, but there's almost a good versus evil thing going on.

01:33:41.000 That's exactly what it is.

01:33:42.000 When you have somebody saying, I want to bring humanity to the stars, I want to help save

01:33:48.000 us.

01:33:49.000 When our top scientists say, we must make it to Mars or other planets for humans to

01:33:52.000 survive and Elon Musk is like, I'll do that.

01:33:54.000 And then you have people that do everything in their power to just hate, hate, hate, hate,

01:33:58.000 and tear him down. 0.64

01:33:59.000 I will criticize the guy. 1.00

01:34:01.000 He has got dumb tweets, and he costs a lot of people money when he tweets stupid things about Tesla stock, for sure. 1.00

01:34:06.000 There's the stupid thing he said about the scuba diver. 1.00

01:34:08.000 The guy is far from perfect, but I'm going to give him credit on the space flight stuff. 0.99

01:34:12.000 True.

01:34:12.000 What are you going to get?

01:34:14.000 It's crazy.

01:34:15.000 Nuance doesn't exist to so many of these people, and that's why it really does feel good versus evil.

01:34:19.000 No, no, no.

01:34:20.000 You keep saying it feels.

01:34:21.000 That is literally what it is.

01:34:23.000 It's good versus evil right now.

01:34:25.000 They believe that they are doing the most virtuous work, but in the most evilest way.

01:34:34.000 I mean, you saw that video of that.

01:34:37.000 I don't know if he was, who he was, if he was a Trump supporter or not, but the InfoWars girl was like, let's go talk to the Trump supporters, you know, and they're like, go ahead, set it up.

01:34:46.000 This is a viral video.

01:34:48.000 And you know what?

01:34:50.000 It could be that InfoWars is biased, but I believe this because I've seen it.

01:34:53.000 There's a black man and she's like, let's go to the Trump supporters and tell them, you know, we're liberals, see what they say.

01:35:00.000 And all the Trump supporters are hugging the guy and shaking his hand like, thank you for coming here.

01:35:03.000 We're really glad you're here.

01:35:04.000 This is great.

01:35:05.000 People saying like, it doesn't matter, you know, black, white, we're all in this together.

01:35:09.000 One lady like gives him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. 0.75

01:35:10.000 And he's like, wow, if I get one more of those, I'm coming in with y'all.

01:35:13.000 And they're laughing, having a good time.

01:35:15.000 And then she's like, let's go over to the protest and tell them we're Trump supporters.

01:35:18.000 And everybody knows what happened.

01:35:19.000 I don't need to, if you haven't seen the video, I don't need to tell you.

01:35:22.000 Well, and if you haven't, I mean, I'll just, I'll go ahead and say it.

01:35:25.000 They start, they get swore at.

01:35:27.000 They're, they're telling them that they're white supremacists, like all these crazy things.

01:35:33.000 And the guy's face is just like, the dude's just like, what just happened?

01:35:36.000 Did that just happen?

01:35:37.000 This is reality.

01:35:39.000 Good versus evil.

01:35:40.000 I've been to enough of these events, man.

01:35:42.000 I've seen... I was in San... I think it's San Jose, I think I was.

01:35:42.000 I've seen it.

01:35:46.000 In California.

01:35:46.000 I'm not sure.

01:35:48.000 This mob of angry leftists, they were Bernie supporters.

01:35:51.000 They shoved an elderly couple to the ground, ripped the Trump hat off their head, and set it on fire.

01:35:55.000 And they're like, it's like an old, slightly overweight, out of shape, elderly couple knocked to the ground.

01:36:00.000 I'm like, what is happening? 1.00

01:36:02.000 These people are nuts. 0.99

01:36:03.000 And guess what happened? 1.00

01:36:05.000 I was at Fusion at the time.

01:36:06.000 What happened when I said these were Bernie supporters?

01:36:09.000 Oh man, they started getting angry.

01:36:11.000 And I was like, they were wearing Bernie shirts.

01:36:11.000 How do you know that?

01:36:13.000 Like, well, how do you know they weren't faking it?

01:36:15.000 I was like, one guy was yelling Bernie.

01:36:17.000 One guy had a flag.

01:36:19.000 I was like, what do you want me to say, man?

01:36:21.000 These weren't Hillary supporters running around doing this. 0.60

01:36:24.000 It was Bernie Sanders supporters.

01:36:26.000 And they were like, you're lying.

01:36:27.000 Tim Pool's lying.

01:36:28.000 Look at what they do to Andy Ngo.

01:36:30.000 Andy Ngo, he doesn't, they say he doxxes people.

01:36:33.000 He literally publishes the same information as all the news outlets.

01:36:36.000 He just puts it on Twitter.

01:36:37.000 So they target him.

01:36:38.000 They harass him.

01:36:38.000 They try and, you know, come after him.

01:36:40.000 So anyway, I want to keep it back to the science stuff.

01:36:43.000 The reason I bring this up is...

01:36:46.000 We need this.

01:36:47.000 We desperately need this.

01:36:49.000 We need technological advancement to better the lives of the poor.

01:36:53.000 They say we need universal health care.

01:36:54.000 Fantastic.

01:36:55.000 You know the best way to go about getting there?

01:36:58.000 New medical technologies.

01:37:00.000 Reducing the cost of treatments, reducing the cost.

01:37:03.000 And you can't do these things completely with policy.

01:37:07.000 Trump just did an executive order to reduce the cost because, yes, there's exploitation.

01:37:11.000 I hate it.

01:37:11.000 EpiPens?

01:37:12.000 They shouldn't cost that much money.

01:37:14.000 That's nuts.

01:37:14.000 Yeah, it's insane.

01:37:15.000 So Trump is like, I'm going to sign some stuff.

01:37:17.000 But guess what?

01:37:17.000 You can do that.

01:37:18.000 You know what else you could do?

01:37:19.000 New ways of producing treatments, new treatments, new technologies that will reduce the cost for everything and mass production.

01:37:25.000 Well, it's not just that we even need to do all this with science.

01:37:29.000 We have to create a way that it is exciting for children.

01:37:34.000 You know, make heroes out of astronauts and scientists and doctors and You know these these people that are gonna are the ones that are actually paving the way to a future that you know Everyone who doesn't want to live with wealth, you know with wealth and you know Living comfortably in your life, you know, so we have to understand the kids need to glorify

01:38:01.000 You know, going into space, being excited about figuring out how to figure out new rocket propulsion, you know, ways that we're going to get there instead of them going, I want to be an influencer.

01:38:13.000 I want to be famous.

01:38:14.000 I just want people to love me.

01:38:16.000 It's like, that's not going to get us to it's not.

01:38:19.000 And then that's the key.

01:38:19.000 You know what I mean?

01:38:21.000 So, not only do we need all these programs that are great, like, sure, it's getting us there, but if we don't have, like, the backing of the new generations that are excited about it, that have a passion in it, then it's not gonna go anywhere.

01:38:36.000 This is the fear I have, is that we've been on a track towards, like, we've been on the back end of the bell curve for quite some time.

01:38:43.000 America had its time.

01:38:44.000 It's lasted longer than the average empire, whatever you want to call it.

01:38:48.000 And now we have new generations of young people who aren't aspiring to be legends, to be heroes, to be astronauts, to be explorers and pioneers.

01:38:57.000 They just want people to look at their face.

01:39:00.000 I don't think it's the end.

01:39:01.000 I think we've recognized this problem.

01:39:04.000 And if we don't correct, we're like our planes going down, we can pull up and we can reach

01:39:08.000 new heights with that dip.

01:39:10.000 As we go down, we can go boom and shoot even higher.

01:39:13.000 Like you ever played Mario, you know, when you're flying with Mario, you got to go down

01:39:15.000 and then up and you go even higher.

01:39:16.000 That's what we're doing.

01:39:17.000 So now that we recognize the problem, we need to inspire young people.

01:39:21.000 And that's one thing that Elon Musk does for all his faults, by all means, criticize the

01:39:25.000 guy launching that hot, you know, that hot rod red convertible Tesla in a space with

01:39:30.000 the dude sitting in the driver's seat.

01:39:31.000 That's nothing compared to watching him launch two actual people into space.

01:39:38.000 I disagree.

01:39:39.000 I understand what you're saying, though.

01:39:41.000 To an adult, you look at that and you're like, wow, man, that's amazing.

01:39:46.000 And the cool technology.

01:39:48.000 But when you look at kids who don't understand, because they're born with it, they see this cool convertible and it looks like a rock star.

01:39:56.000 I see what you're saying, yeah.

01:39:57.000 I think, look, you know, so Tesla, I'm sorry, Elon needed some kind of payload to prove they could launch into space.

01:40:04.000 He chose the Tesla.

01:40:06.000 And that created this pop culture moment.

01:40:09.000 Starman.

01:40:10.000 Yup.

01:40:11.000 It created a historical moment, a pop culture moment, it caught the attention of people.

01:40:15.000 There's a lot of people who don't care that he launched these dudes into space, at a ridiculously low cost, with new tech, and reused the rockets even, and brought them back.

01:40:24.000 Flat screen controls.

01:40:25.000 Yeah, it's cool stuff.

01:40:26.000 Just big, three big screens.

01:40:28.000 It's like, if you look at it, it's like, I'm looking into the future.

01:40:31.000 That's the future.

01:40:32.000 Wait, no no, that's now.

01:40:34.000 But check it out.

01:40:36.000 Kids, so, you know, kids who are born today have not lived without a touchscreen phone.

01:40:41.000 You know, if you were born after 2007, they've always had touch, they've always existed.

01:40:41.000 You're right.

01:40:46.000 That's a good point.

01:40:47.000 I remember the phone would ring, and me, my brother, my sister would run to try and answer it first.

01:40:51.000 It was a phone mounted on the wall.

01:40:51.000 Yeah.

01:40:53.000 With the cord?

01:40:54.000 With the cord and everything, and it would be tangled, and exactly.

01:40:56.000 It's like, oh, back in my day, we only had one phone on the wall, and guess what?

01:40:56.000 Oh yeah.

01:40:59.000 I'd call my friend's house, and I'd be like, is Jason home?

01:41:02.000 And his mom would be like, no, I don't know where he is, and I'd go, I guess I'm not hanging out with Jason today.

01:41:06.000 Maybe I'll run into him at the park.

01:41:08.000 Yeah, if I get lucky.

01:41:09.000 And you go around looking for where your friends might be and then you finally find out.

01:41:12.000 It's like you went on a quest every day.

01:41:14.000 It's another thing that kids are losing, too.

01:41:16.000 It was almost like Carmen Sandiego.

01:41:18.000 I go to one house.

01:41:19.000 Last time I saw him, he was at this house.

01:41:21.000 I go there.

01:41:22.000 Actually, they went to 7-Eleven.

01:41:24.000 You finally find them.

01:41:25.000 You're like, I did it!

01:41:26.000 Solved the mystery of where my friends are.

01:41:27.000 Anyway, the point is...

01:41:28.000 I think a lot of kids are born and they see the touchscreen rocket, you know, screens and everything.

01:41:33.000 And they're like, I have one of those.

01:41:34.000 Yeah.

01:41:35.000 But then they see a convertible and they're like, whoa, space convertible.

01:41:39.000 Yeah.

01:41:40.000 Yeah.

01:41:40.000 It's like a weird, unique thing.

01:41:41.000 Yeah.

01:41:42.000 And it looks cool.

01:41:43.000 Well, and, and the fact that, you know, you, you, your prize at the end of that quest was hanging out with your actual friends in real life.

01:41:52.000 Whereas nowadays you just FaceTime somebody.

01:41:56.000 Hey, cool.

01:41:56.000 All right.

01:41:57.000 I'll talk to you later.

01:41:58.000 I gotta do this YouTube video thing.

01:42:00.000 I can't believe that we haven't regulated social media yet.

01:42:04.000 I can't believe it either.

01:42:05.000 It's coming.

01:42:06.000 I think it's coming soon.

01:42:07.000 The first thing I would actually recommend doing is Section 230 reform.

01:42:11.000 Immediately followed by a regulation that removes the counters from social media websites.

01:42:11.000 Absolutely.

01:42:17.000 Like likes?

01:42:18.000 Likes, shares, followers, friends, etc.

01:42:21.000 That counter is the manipulation.

01:42:23.000 That's a good point.

01:42:24.000 It is.

01:42:24.000 And Twitter knows it.

01:42:27.000 I'll just call this my opinions and assumptions based on conversations and data to avoid legal issues.

01:42:32.000 With certain people that actually may or may not run Twitter, can I say that?

01:42:37.000 Not in this context.

01:42:39.000 I've talked to some people who have insider knowledge and the general consensus is Twitter knows that what drives engagement, what makes people use the platform and makes them worth money, is that count.

01:42:53.000 How many retweets do I get?

01:42:54.000 How many likes?

01:42:55.000 How many followers do I have?

01:42:55.000 How many followers?

01:42:56.000 It's a number, it's a game to people.

01:42:58.000 It's almost like, it's people earning points.

01:43:02.000 And so they've gamified hate.

01:43:04.000 Twitter is a is a rage system where people hate each other and they and they and it generates as much rage as possible.

01:43:11.000 And the more rage you generate, the more points you get.

01:43:13.000 And it satisfies people in their minds.

01:43:14.000 They're addicted to it.

01:43:15.000 Yeah.

01:43:16.000 Get rid of those numbers.

01:43:18.000 All this goes away.

01:43:19.000 No one will know how many responses they're getting.

01:43:21.000 There'll be no ratioing.

01:43:22.000 They'll get rid of all of it.

01:43:24.000 But they won't do it because it's the only reason people like their platform.

01:43:28.000 It's a good point.

01:43:30.000 Yep, so we're in trouble in that regard, but maybe.

01:43:34.000 We'll see how this election plays out.

01:43:36.000 Yeah.

01:43:36.000 I hope it plays out well.

01:43:38.000 Trump 2020.

01:43:39.000 You know, man, if I end up living in a van in the middle of the woods or something down by the river, hunting rabbit and deer and cooking up and farming, I'm not going to be miserable.

01:43:48.000 I'm going to enjoy it.

01:43:49.000 It's like, it reminds like, it's like Thanos, you know, when he finally snaps away half the universe and he gets to go farm and just pick weird little fruits.

01:43:56.000 There you go, man.

01:43:57.000 That can be you.

01:43:58.000 Well, how about we read some of these super chats?

01:44:00.000 Sounds good.

01:44:01.000 Matthew Hammond says, why did Tim's mother not make an appearance in the 2 plus 2 equals 5 video from today?

01:44:07.000 Well, because she makes her own math videos. 1.00

01:44:08.000 Just set everyone straight. 0.56

01:44:09.000 What the heck?

01:44:10.000 You've seen the 2 plus 2 equals 5 thing? 0.96

01:44:13.000 It's insane.

01:44:14.000 It's literally out of 1984.

01:44:15.000 Yeah.

01:44:17.000 Woke people on Twitter are literally arguing, but of course 2 plus 2 can equal 5.

01:44:22.000 You simply need to redefine... Okay, stop you right there.

01:44:26.000 Shut up. 1.00

01:44:26.000 Redefine? 1.00

01:44:28.000 Yes, thank you.

01:44:30.000 Jeremy says, you're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality.

01:44:34.000 Wrong is wrong, no matter who does or says it.

01:44:38.000 Malcolm X. I agree.

01:44:39.000 Call out people who need to be called out, no matter whose side they're on.

01:44:43.000 Georgie says, hello guys, a question for each one of you.

01:44:46.000 Tim, what are the chances to vote Trump?

01:44:49.000 I would say for me, very high.

01:44:52.000 You know, pending some weird change, very high.

01:44:55.000 But it could be a third party.

01:44:56.000 It's definitely not gonna be Democrats at this point.

01:44:58.000 Skateboard Jesus, when was the moment you decided to vote for Trump?

01:45:03.000 When was it?

01:45:05.000 Well, I think it was two months ago?

01:45:08.000 Three months ago?

01:45:09.000 End of April, I think, right?

01:45:09.000 Yeah, end of April, maybe.

01:45:11.000 Yeah, I just started the show in the end of January.

01:45:15.000 Was it end of January when you started?

01:45:17.000 It was like January 27th or something.

01:45:17.000 End of January.

01:45:19.000 So, sitting here with Tim, you know, unless you know what you're talking about, it's very difficult to be a part of the conversation.

01:45:25.000 So, I just dove into the political realm because the show wasn't supposed to be political but it very quickly just turned into current events which happens to be you know it was covid and politics and basically i just started doing all this research and finding out about the president's policies what he was doing what like what they were saying he was doing and you know the whole

01:45:48.000 Stop making me defend Trump thing it became more of I just was figuring out who he was and what he was actually doing and then the more I dug the more policies I found and I was like wow I actually really like the things that he's doing for this country like I think he's actually doing a lot of really good things And then it just kind of snowballed into, you know, because we talk about everything that's going on and the Democrats are crazy.

01:46:13.000 And I think Trump is great.

01:46:15.000 I think he's doing a really good job.

01:46:17.000 And I just, yeah, it was, I guess the end of April when it really kind of clicked, I was like, you know what?

01:46:22.000 I'm voting for him.

01:46:24.000 I'm going to make a declaration that I'm voting for him.

01:46:27.000 You know, the important thing, too, is I think it's missed is that I think Democrats have completely lost their minds.

01:46:31.000 Yeah, definitely. 0.79

01:46:32.000 I think the Republicans are as bad as they've always been.

01:46:34.000 There's a small handful of people in the Republican Party that I think do an OK job.

01:46:41.000 I think Tulsi Gabbard, she's on her way out. 0.83

01:46:42.000 Most of these are the people who agree with Trump on pulling out of Afghanistan, to be honest.

01:46:46.000 But Trump isn't a Republican.

01:46:46.000 Yeah.

01:46:48.000 He's not a Republican or a Democrat.

01:46:50.000 So the issue is right now the Republicans are shutting up and getting behind Trump to a certain degree and so that doesn't really raise any red flags with me for the most part.

01:47:01.000 It certainly does in certain instances like blocking Trump withdrawals and there have been other issues like expanding FISA surveillance stuff, stuff that I've complained about in the past, I'll complain about right now that Republicans have done.

01:47:12.000 For the most part they aren't doing anything but Democrats are just off the rails unhinged and the Democratic establishment has

01:47:19.000 been taking in the never-Trumper Republican refugees. So it's like the 0.99

01:47:22.000 Democrats have become the haven for the establishment political base desperate to

01:47:26.000 regain their power.

01:47:27.000 Yeah.

01:47:27.000 All right, let's see.

01:47:29.000 Desperate is a good word.

01:47:30.000 Absolutely. Background lady, what do you think about politics overall? 0.97

01:47:35.000 Me?

01:47:35.000 That's you.

01:47:36.000 I am, in fact, background lady.

01:47:38.000 I'm pretty conservative.

01:47:39.000 I'm more conservative than either Tim or Adam.

01:47:41.000 I'm pretty pro-life and I really like philosophy.

01:47:42.000 I want to know what's underneath all of it.

01:47:44.000 So that's clearly what I'm looking at when I look at politics.

01:47:47.000 Are you going to say who you're going to vote for?

01:47:49.000 I'm probably not going to say who I'm going to vote for just yet, but I don't think I have an option at this point.

01:47:53.000 Because you'll get fired.

01:47:54.000 That's right.

01:47:55.000 My boss will fire me.

01:47:56.000 If he finds out.

01:47:56.000 Yeah, your co-workers will complain about your politics.

01:48:00.000 Yeah, I know.

01:48:00.000 It's true.

01:48:01.000 Because she's voting for Biden.

01:48:02.000 You guys are both voting Trump.

01:48:04.000 Get out of here.

01:48:04.000 What if I vote for Biden?

01:48:06.000 Okay.

01:48:07.000 Am I disowned?

01:48:08.000 Am I going to get fired?

01:48:09.000 No, we'd have a conversation about it.

01:48:11.000 I would probably lose a little bit of respect for you.

01:48:14.000 I'm not voting for Biden.

01:48:15.000 No way.

01:48:18.000 Yeah, man, Trump, he's not a Republican.

01:48:21.000 He's just something else entirely.

01:48:22.000 Yeah, that's why they don't like him.

01:48:24.000 But even Trump supporters have been saying this.

01:48:26.000 That's why they use the lion instead of, you know, what is the Republican?

01:48:29.000 The elephant?

01:48:31.000 Yeah, he's the lion.

01:48:32.000 The MAGA party.

01:48:33.000 It's different.

01:48:34.000 Trump was the populist usurper.

01:48:35.000 He stormed into the Republican Party.

01:48:39.000 And a bunch retired.

01:48:40.000 A bunch of Republicans retired.

01:48:42.000 Like, I don't want to be involved in whatever Trump is doing. 0.64

01:48:44.000 And they try to make it seem like they're doing it because Trump is all evil and everything. 1.00

01:48:47.000 Oh, shut up. 0.99

01:48:48.000 They're doing it because they're like, the jig is up. 0.99

01:48:50.000 Yeah, Trump is calling them all out for having way too much power and the people don't control the government anymore because the people got complacent and stopped caring about politics.

01:49:03.000 And that's a big issue.

01:49:05.000 Tribal wedge issues dominated and that's what got people power. 0.99

01:49:08.000 And now you have Trump who's confusing a lot of people.

01:49:11.000 You see this, Donald Trump says income disparity is a problem we gotta solve?

01:49:15.000 Yeah, what are they gonna say now?

01:49:15.000 Yeah, what's up?

01:49:17.000 Actually, we like the rich, famous people.

01:49:20.000 Well, they certainly like war.

01:49:22.000 Wait, what are we arguing about?

01:49:24.000 They like being in Afghanistan now. 0.99

01:49:27.000 He tweeted the Business Insider video about Bezos making, not only Bezos, the four or five people that made a Crazy amount of money over COVID and all the middle class to lower class, everyone else just got shafted.

01:49:44.000 And he's like, this is an issue.

01:49:45.000 They shouldn't be making this much money.

01:49:47.000 They're not even paying taxes.

01:49:48.000 You know, Amazon paid 1.2% taxes.

01:49:51.000 So that's on profits when it comes to like employment tax and stuff.

01:49:55.000 Sure, sure.

01:49:56.000 But on profits across their company.

01:49:58.000 But that could just mean that they didn't really generate all that much.

01:50:01.000 There's tax incentives.

01:50:03.000 He made like $15 billion in four months.

01:50:07.000 Was that profit?

01:50:10.000 I don't know all the details, sure.

01:50:13.000 When it comes to the narrative about Amazon and taxes, a lot of people, there's no legal way.

01:50:18.000 Amazon just goes, we're not going to pay.

01:50:20.000 No, there's a bunch of reasons why, from tax incentives, tax programs, rebates, and they typically exclude the property taxes, sales taxes, you know, employment taxes that they do pay.

01:50:31.000 Who's been setting up all these systems over the past, whoever knows how long?

01:50:36.000 The establishment, bro.

01:50:37.000 Exactly.

01:50:38.000 It was both Democrats and Republicans.

01:50:40.000 You're right, both sides.

01:50:41.000 They were playing a game of hot potato back and forth.

01:50:44.000 Oh no, it's their fault.

01:50:45.000 Oh no, it's their fault.

01:50:46.000 Everyone just pretend that we're all against each other when they are all against each other.

01:50:50.000 Come on.

01:50:51.000 This is what bothers me.

01:50:52.000 It's like, the progressives should just be like, Democrats, reap what you sow.

01:50:55.000 Here's Trump for another four years.

01:50:57.000 Because then they'll have an opportunity for a new populist if the Democrats get crushed.

01:51:00.000 Yeah, maybe.

01:51:01.000 But if the Democrat establishment wins, the populist left will never get another chance.

01:51:05.000 Their only opportunity is that the populists dominate, and right now the right populists are holding the reins.

01:51:12.000 Not Biden, man.

01:51:13.000 Sorry.

01:51:15.000 Yeah, never Biden.

01:51:15.000 Never Biden.

01:51:17.000 That's why I begged, and that's why I donated to these other Democratic candidates.

01:51:20.000 Because I was like, give me a non-establishment alternative. 1.00

01:51:24.000 They could not do it because they're stupid and insane. 1.00

01:51:27.000 But more importantly, the people that I liked, they couldn't control. 1.00

01:51:31.000 Some of them I think they can, however.

01:51:33.000 Bernie Sanders, you know, ended up selling out, in my opinion.

01:51:36.000 Maximum Weeb says, That's cool.

01:51:38.000 Hamilton on Disney Plus. Hate the company deeply, but one of the greatest pieces of

01:51:41.000 entertainment about American history ever made bar none.

01:51:44.000 Extremely well worth a watch.

01:51:46.000 Funny, witty, sad, badass, all of it. A two hour and forty minute glorious epic rap battle

01:51:50.000 of history. That's cool. I like it. Alright, let's see what else do we got here in the

01:51:55.000 old Super Chat.

01:51:56.000 Philip McCrary says, I think this mafia contract will have an opposite effect, especially if it expands to other cities.

01:52:04.000 I would think business owners would not want to hire any black person in order to resist being bullied. 1.00

01:52:08.000 Backfire? 0.86

01:52:09.000 I don't think so.

01:52:10.000 I think the Cuban immigrant is straight up saying that he's not going to fall for these mafia tactics and they can't pretend to be anti-racist to make him do it.

01:52:21.000 Let's see.

01:52:22.000 Sullivan says, Hey Tim, how often do you check your PO box?

01:52:25.000 I sent Adam some beanies.

01:52:27.000 Can you have him go check it?

01:52:28.000 We check it almost, what, every day?

01:52:30.000 Almost every day.

01:52:31.000 Yeah, we have big boxes of stuff.

01:52:32.000 Oh, we gotta open some boxes.

01:52:34.000 Oh yeah.

01:52:34.000 We have some boxes.

01:52:35.000 Maybe they're in there.

01:52:36.000 Yeah, once we get to the new facility, we're actually gonna do a mail show on the vlog channel.

01:52:39.000 Alright.

01:52:40.000 Where I think, I don't think we have, I think if we did it once a week, we'd have too much.

01:52:45.000 Yeah, I agree.

01:52:46.000 We'd send a ton of stuff.

01:52:46.000 If you guys want to send us stuff, go to TimCast.com slash donate.

01:52:49.000 There's a P.O.

01:52:50.000 box at the bottom.

01:52:51.000 Make sure you address it to TimCast IRL or any of us individually, depending on who you want to send it to.

01:52:56.000 Yeah, the post office already hates us.

01:52:58.000 Yep.

01:52:59.000 Samuel Braley says, Don't let Chicago fool you.

01:53:01.000 Just in our South, there's small farm towns filled with people who just want to be left alone.

01:53:06.000 There's a huge silent majority.

01:53:08.000 I hear it every day.

01:53:09.000 Keep up the courageous work.

01:53:10.000 Beer's on me.

01:53:11.000 Cheers.

01:53:12.000 I would not be surprised if a bunch of parts of Chicago turned red in November.

01:53:17.000 Because there are areas of Chicago that are conservative, middle class.

01:53:22.000 Like city property.

01:53:24.000 I don't know if you know, but me and Tim are both from Chicago.

01:53:30.000 Most of my family that are in Chicago, they are all Republicans.

01:53:36.000 That's a lot.

01:53:36.000 I have a fairly large family in Chicago.

01:53:40.000 Hi everybody!

01:53:40.000 That's my family.

01:53:41.000 Alright, let's see.

01:53:44.000 Spork Witch says, little red pill that makes all the problems go away. 1.00

01:53:48.000 So you mean Aldous Huxley's Soma?

01:53:50.000 The rate we are going, I wouldn't be surprised if they start proposing intentional fetal alcohol exposure to keep the Deltas happy with the menial work ordained. 1.00

01:54:00.000 What's that short story we were talking about before?

01:54:02.000 Harrison Bergeron?

01:54:03.000 Yeah.

01:54:03.000 The Great Equalization.

01:54:04.000 The Great Equalization. 0.59

01:54:05.000 Have you read that?

01:54:06.000 Hmm?

01:54:07.000 The Great Equalization. 0.59

01:54:08.000 Did you read it?

01:54:08.000 Sorry, I was distracted by the dead UFO.

01:54:11.000 Somebody sent it to me and it's basically like smart people have things in their ears that scream random noises to disrupt their ability to think.

01:54:17.000 Sounds terrible.

01:54:18.000 To make sure they're equal, you know?

01:54:20.000 And like strong people have to carry weights around and men have to carry weights so that they're, you know, strained and not stronger than women and stuff.

01:54:28.000 Kurt Vonnegut.

01:54:28.000 Yep.

01:54:29.000 Oh, that's so much better.

01:54:30.000 Excellent.

01:54:31.000 John Doe says, I disagree.

01:54:32.000 I think capitalism is the basic, unregulated, natural state of the economy, as natural as

01:54:37.000 an old growth forest and just as wild.

01:54:40.000 Every regulation is an axe, but not all axes are bad.

01:54:43.000 Vines can choke a fruit tree.

01:54:44.000 Well, I disagree because I think understanding the concept of a trade medium was a revolution,

01:54:51.000 an ideological revolution.

01:54:52.000 People would be like, hello good sir, I require a loaf, you know, a bunch, a sheath of wheat.

01:54:58.000 And you'd be like, but I require parchment.

01:55:00.000 Sorry sir, I have no parchment.

01:55:02.000 I'll go find some.

01:55:03.000 And it would make everything harder.

01:55:04.000 Once they realized, wait a minute, what about some kind of intermediary?

01:55:09.000 I'll give you this, you go find somebody, they'll take it too.

01:55:12.000 Now you had an intermediary trade medium that allowed people to rapidly advance how fast they were trading, so it was a development.

01:55:20.000 Money didn't always exist.

01:55:22.000 Not only that, but the general idea of capitalism is like interest rates and investment and stuff, so all these ideas were written and expanded upon.

01:55:30.000 But the general idea of free trade, I believe, is true.

01:55:34.000 Let's see.

01:55:36.000 Jacob Wiren says, Yeah, it's ideological revolution.

01:55:38.000 in time and told a Roman slave owner about capitalism, he would laugh, point at his slave

01:55:42.000 and say, that's a really funny, it's really funny that you think that they can cooperate

01:55:46.000 freely when they clearly can't.

01:55:48.000 We've made huge progress since then.

01:55:50.000 Yeah, it's ideological revolution.

01:55:52.000 Yep.

01:55:53.000 Aureo says, I'm a fairly smart guy, but I used to think I was a lot smarter.

01:55:56.000 A few years ago, I came to realize that I was just coasting and couldn't consider myself as smart as I used to.

01:56:01.000 You guys and Joe Rogan help broaden my thoughts.

01:56:03.000 Hey, appreciate it.

01:56:04.000 Very cool.

01:56:04.000 Thanks for putting us on that platform.

01:56:06.000 My goodness.

01:56:07.000 Yeah, Joe's a clever dude. 0.99

01:56:08.000 He likes to say he's a dumb guy, but he's not. 0.98

01:56:10.000 He's definitely not. 1.00

01:56:11.000 Does he say he's a dumb guy? 0.99

01:56:12.000 He does. 1.00

01:56:13.000 Really? 0.99

01:56:13.000 Yeah, he's like, I'm just some dumb comedian. 0.99

01:56:15.000 No, no, that's not true. 0.98

01:56:16.000 I mean, he's humble.

01:56:18.000 He's pointing out that he's a comedian entertainer.

01:56:21.000 You watch his show, and you'll be like, he knows a ton of things.

01:56:24.000 He clearly reads a lot.

01:56:26.000 Yeah.

01:56:27.000 Dude's clever.

01:56:29.000 Dale Wilson says, you three rule.

01:56:31.000 I truly love your shows.

01:56:32.000 Adam, Hulk, smash that button. 0.99

01:56:34.000 Tim, work on destroying the narrative.

01:56:36.000 It is the destruction of the worldwide freedom.

01:56:38.000 Think about that.

01:56:39.000 Lydia, you keep these hormones in place with Reason and Research USA. 0.95

01:56:43.000 Thanks, man.

01:56:44.000 Excellent!

01:56:46.000 I wanna know about it.

01:56:46.000 Yeah.

01:56:47.000 You wanna pull it up?

01:56:47.000 The journalist's creed reminds me a lot of the soldier's creed I swore in the army.

01:56:51.000 Tim and Adam, have Lydia look up the US Army Soldier's Creed and read it out loud.

01:56:56.000 It really raises your spirit and I feel you guys will appreciate it.

01:56:59.000 I'm vaguely familiar with this actually.

01:57:01.000 I want to know about it.

01:57:02.000 Yeah, you want to pull it up?

01:57:03.000 Yeah.

01:57:04.000 I got it right now.

01:57:05.000 I think this is it.

01:57:07.000 It says, I'm an American soldier.

01:57:08.000 I'm a warrior and a member of a team.

01:57:10.000 I serve the people of the United States and live the Army values.

01:57:12.000 So this is specifically for the Army.

01:57:14.000 I don't know if this is what he's referring to.

01:57:15.000 It says, I will always place the mission first.

01:57:17.000 I will never accept defeat.

01:57:18.000 I will never quit.

01:57:19.000 I will never leave a fallen comrade.

01:57:20.000 I am disciplined physically and mentally tough.

01:57:23.000 I like that a lot.

01:57:23.000 Cool.

01:57:23.000 That's really simple, straightforward.

01:57:25.000 warrior tasks and drills. I always maintain my arms, equipment, and myself.

01:57:28.000 I'm an expert and I am a professional. I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy

01:57:32.000 the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.

01:57:35.000 I'm a guardian of freedom and the American way of life. I am an American

01:57:38.000 soldier." I like that a lot.

01:57:40.000 That's really simple, straightforward.

01:57:42.000 Very, very good.

01:57:45.000 Padraic says, Thank you, Tim.

01:57:46.000 Your integrity is fantastic.

01:57:48.000 In Australia, our corruption is largely center-right.

01:57:51.000 I wish we had more honest reporters like you.

01:57:53.000 Anyway, wanted to mention, Kodak, camera company, was given $750 million loan to make 25% of American generic pharma ingredients.

01:58:02.000 And instantly, their stock jumped from like $17 to, I think, $60.

01:58:08.000 That morning, it was crazy.

01:58:10.000 Because they were like, you know what, man?

01:58:13.000 I do too.

01:58:13.000 I dig it.

01:58:14.000 I love it.

01:58:14.000 American company being given resources to revitalize manufacturing, notably medicines.

01:58:19.000 I gotta say though, once again, this certainly does play into the idea that we're getting better prepared for war.

01:58:26.000 President Trump knows what he's doing.

01:58:28.000 He's making moves.

01:58:29.000 Yeah.

01:58:30.000 Urstax says, Aerospike Space Engines.

01:58:35.000 Andrew B says, Keep up the great work.

01:58:37.000 Can you give us some more direction as to who we should also support?

01:58:40.000 Groups to join, people to donate to, need to turn this country around, tired of being bullied into silence.

01:58:45.000 Well, if you follow me on Twitter at Adam Krigler, I have been researching many different politicians that are running.

01:58:54.000 It turns out a lot of them are Republicans that I end up finding, and they're really good.

01:59:00.000 I always tend to retweet them and look at their policies on their website, and I try to post those up.

01:59:06.000 So if you want to follow me, you can follow my journey into understanding the political world more.

01:59:11.000 The most important thing anyone can do is, if you don't know of a group, start one.

01:59:17.000 If there's no petition for you to sign, make one.

01:59:20.000 I had a friend tell me that, you know, how come none of these conservatives who are concerned about this have done anything?

01:59:27.000 Where are the petitions?

01:59:28.000 Where are the protests?

01:59:29.000 And I'm like, they're Blue Lives Matter protests, yeah, yeah, yeah, but they don't protest nearly as much as the left.

01:59:34.000 I was talking about, I think we were talking about this, There was a venue that we were going to do a show at when I was putting on an event with the guys from Mythicist Milwaukee.

01:59:44.000 And one of the venues promised us, assured us, everything would be fine, we're not concerned about politics, protesters, we don't care about, we can easily handle security.

01:59:54.000 What they didn't expect is that within a few days, once the staff members found out, they all threatened to quit.

01:59:59.000 And so the venue was like, okay, show's over, sorry guys, bye bye.

02:00:02.000 Our staff was gonna quit, we can't do anything about it.

02:00:04.000 And I'm thinking to myself, how many conservatives and moderates, and even disaffected liberals, would say the same thing?

02:00:11.000 I'm sorry, it's relatively few.

02:00:13.000 Now there's an advantage these people have.

02:00:15.000 No families, they're young, no kids, and they're reckless ideologues.

02:00:21.000 People with families can't just do that, but that gives the left a major advantage, and they're making gains because of it.

02:00:29.000 Reaperbot says, Centripetal force, power supply, and or engine.

02:00:33.000 Something like a turbine generator using magnets that generate continuous clean energy could make them in many different scaled options.

02:00:40.000 Interesting.

02:00:41.000 Yeah, like a magnetic generator or something.

02:00:43.000 Yeah.

02:00:44.000 Jim the Pro says, Ion engines are the future.

02:00:46.000 So far they are initially slow, but their speed cap is close to light speed.

02:00:51.000 This is where they have, like, the plate and they fire ions in it and then it, you know, incrementally pushes it forward, I guess.

02:00:57.000 It's the M drive?

02:00:58.000 Is that what it is?

02:00:59.000 Like, violates- I don't know if that's the same.

02:01:00.000 I don't know what the ion engine is.

02:01:02.000 I think that's what it is.

02:01:03.000 That sounds like the M drive that you're talking about.

02:01:05.000 And it's like- I don't think that's the same thing.

02:01:05.000 Yeah.

02:01:07.000 It's violating the, what, second law of thermodynamics, I guess?

02:01:11.000 A closed system and the energy is still pushing it forward?

02:01:15.000 Perilous Pancake says, greetings from the Chinese Special Economic Zone of Victoria, Australia. 0.96

02:01:20.000 Oh, I didn't realize.

02:01:22.000 Keep those little green dudes dizzy. 1.00

02:01:24.000 Spin the UFO! 0.69

02:01:25.000 Our first spin, well, super chat spin.

02:01:29.000 I couldn't help myself earlier.

02:01:32.000 1991 Shadowheart says, you missed my last super chat.

02:01:35.000 G'day Tim and co.

02:01:36.000 My mates and I are planning on making our own podcast.

02:01:39.000 News, politics, jokes, etc.

02:01:41.000 We'd love to have guests on it.

02:01:42.000 Who would y'all be interested?

02:01:44.000 Cheers for the hard work.

02:01:45.000 Have a cold one on me.

02:01:46.000 Much love, guys.

02:01:48.000 I don't know.

02:01:48.000 Thank you.

02:01:49.000 I would love to go on your show.

02:01:51.000 Thank you.

02:01:52.000 Oh, yeah.

02:01:52.000 For thinking of me.

02:01:53.000 I'm sure they'd love to have you.

02:01:54.000 It's going to be fun.

02:01:55.000 They're going to be like, yes, absolutely, Adam.

02:01:58.000 I guess if I had to make a recommendation, maybe Adam Krigler.

02:02:03.000 Yeah.

02:02:03.000 I hear he's a good co-host.

02:02:05.000 Yeah.

02:02:05.000 I think he'd be a great guest.

02:02:07.000 The best.

02:02:08.000 Let's see.

02:02:08.000 Gregory says, Lydia, thanks for the call out on Twitter for Isaac.

02:02:12.000 He's a great dude.

02:02:13.000 Oh, yeah.

02:02:14.000 Mount Liberty Bell says, here in Washington State, we have a group called Restore Washington.

02:02:18.000 They say soon, one in every 100 people in the state will be a member.

02:02:22.000 We are rising up.

02:02:24.000 Interesting.

02:02:24.000 Sounds good.

02:02:25.000 But what do you do?

02:02:26.000 Do you, like, kick Seattle out?

02:02:29.000 Yes.

02:02:30.000 You show up and vote for the right people.

02:02:33.000 That's what you do.

02:02:34.000 What's this thing people have talked about where they're like, separate the blue district archipelago into its own autonomous governments and then give the red areas to prevent civil war or something?

02:02:45.000 I don't know.

02:02:46.000 New Idaho?

02:02:47.000 Decentralizing big cities is going to help.

02:02:49.000 The fact that people are fleeing cities for a variety of reasons will help, you know, people start meeting each other and talking to each other and hopefully it will start doing away with some of these more fringe ideas.

02:03:00.000 It could make things worse, however.

02:03:01.000 I think so too.

02:03:02.000 I'd imagine the people leaving cities are more likely to lean conservative.

02:03:06.000 Well, and you think about how we talked about the war room that they had, the Never Trumpers, and how they were The blue cities stay blue then.

02:03:16.000 And if all these cities that are blue are pushing all the conservatives out that would normally vote

02:03:25.000 red, you know... The blue cities stay blue then. That's a good point, you know. And then it makes

02:03:28.000 the swing districts turn red. That's a good point. 1.00

02:03:31.000 So they're kind of shooting themselves in the foot, I guess.

02:03:33.000 This is the important factor.

02:03:34.000 A lot of people have said, Tim, if these people leave cities and they're likely to be liberal, they'll bring liberal values.

02:03:39.000 There's a political cartoon someone made about Joe Rogan, and he's carrying a bag leaving California that's blowing up, and he's going to Texas, and they're like, hey, leave that where you got it from, and he's carrying liberal values with him.

02:03:51.000 Who's the first to leave a city?

02:03:53.000 New York.

02:03:53.000 It says liberal values or something.

02:03:55.000 Yeah.

02:03:56.000 So, but I think that misses the point.

02:03:59.000 Who's the first to leave a city?

02:04:01.000 New York, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's district is 20% Republican.

02:04:07.000 That's just nowhere near enough to actually win.

02:04:09.000 Good point.

02:04:10.000 Who's gonna leave first?

02:04:12.000 The Republicans!

02:04:13.000 Right.

02:04:13.000 The people who want weapons to defend themselves, are tired of this, have individual responsibility as like a core, you know, part of their personality.

02:04:22.000 They're gonna leave.

02:04:23.000 Then they're gonna go to the suburbs, which are swing districts, and they're gonna vote Republican.

02:04:27.000 I don't think, you know, AOC's constituents that are Democrat are complaining about the city right now.

02:04:33.000 The rioters were on their side.

02:04:35.000 So they're probably like, yay, go, go for it, woohoo, Black Lives Matter.

02:04:39.000 The conservatives are going, this is nuts, I can't take this.

02:04:41.000 They're allowing this?

02:04:42.000 I'm out.

02:04:43.000 We'll see, we'll see.

02:04:44.000 There's a lot of factors that people are missing, it's hard to know.

02:04:48.000 You can't predict everything, man, but I'll tell you what you can predict.

02:04:50.000 I can predict that everybody will smash the like button.

02:04:54.000 Oh, good prediction.

02:04:55.000 I'm making a prediction that we will break 20,000 likes in the next couple of minutes because... If it was 30,000, this would be red right now.

02:05:02.000 Oh, man.

02:05:03.000 You guys know it.

02:05:04.000 I mean, that's kind of the thing.

02:05:05.000 I'll swap beanies.

02:05:06.000 If we hit 30,000 likes, you put the MAGA beanie on?

02:05:08.000 That's it.

02:05:08.000 I mean, people have been talking about it in chat since we went live.

02:05:10.000 Oh, really?

02:05:12.000 I mean, that's great.

02:05:13.000 Just not enough likes.

02:05:14.000 Now we're consistently getting more likes.

02:05:15.000 Just not enough likes.

02:05:33.000 And of course, you can follow at SourPatchLids, L-Y-D-S. 1.00

02:05:37.000 Don't forget to share.

02:05:38.000 On Twitter and Parler.

02:05:39.000 Sharing is caring, and we love when you share our videos.

02:05:43.000 It really does help spread the word of TimCast IRL.

02:05:46.000 Helps our channel grow.

02:05:48.000 I'll put it this way, because most of you probably know this, but if everybody who tuned in shared the link right when it started, we'd be bigger than CNN in like a few months.

02:05:59.000 That sounds really good.

02:06:01.000 Let's go with that.

02:06:02.000 But the point I'm making is the exponential growth, right?

02:06:04.000 This is the point I'm making.

02:06:05.000 If everybody always did... Excuse me!

02:06:06.000 Yes?

02:06:08.000 Sorry, you cut me off and I wasn't done telling how excited I was to be bigger than CNN.

02:06:16.000 I want to make sure I have this clear before we move on because I don't want people to misunderstand.

02:06:21.000 If we have 40,000 people and they all share it, and each of those 40,000 brings in one more person, we go to 80,000.

02:06:27.000 And then if 80,000 people share, we're at 160,000 and it keeps growing.

02:06:32.000 Non-linear.

02:06:32.000 I shouldn't even say a month.

02:06:33.000 I should say, theoretically, if everyone shared and brought in only one person, in a week we'd be bigger than CNN and MSNBC and Fox News.

02:06:42.000 So hey, not everybody likes watching us though.

02:06:44.000 So there you go.

02:06:45.000 So maybe for every one person they bring in, two people leave because, you know, I don't know, whatever.

02:06:49.000 Punish your friends.

02:06:50.000 That's okay.

02:06:51.000 I think I can say I'm eternally grateful to all of you, everybody who's watched because this, you know, the show's been doing really, really well.

02:06:57.000 We've been growing and expanding and it's awesome.

02:06:59.000 And I'm glad we've been able to.

02:07:01.000 It's been absolutely fantastic.

02:07:02.000 So fun.

02:07:03.000 Having a lot of fun, you know, complaining about stuff on the internet.

02:07:05.000 Yes.

02:07:06.000 And being hopeful.

02:07:07.000 Space travel and all that good stuff periodically.

02:07:09.000 Hopefully once the election ends, we wake up November 4th and it's like... Covid's gone.

02:07:15.000 What's that song?

02:07:15.000 It's like...

02:07:17.000 Oh, it's called Mourning from the Purgent Suite.

02:07:20.000 Yeah, Stan Tchaikovsky.

02:07:21.000 Yes, there you go.

02:07:22.000 That song will play.

02:07:23.000 You'll wake up on November 4th, and you'll see the window and a beam of light, and there's Blue Jays and Cardinals, and they're singing, and you turn on the TV, and they're not talking about Trump anymore.

02:07:31.000 It's all over.

02:07:31.000 Oh my goodness.

02:07:32.000 The election has ended.

02:07:34.000 There's sports.

02:07:34.000 You look outside, there's a milkman for some reason, and you're like, nobody who gets milk delivered.

02:07:40.000 Unless you live in Chicago and they have the Overwise guys.

02:07:42.000 But no, no, you'll wake up and everything's good, back to normal, and then we'll be talking about Sonic the Hedgehog again or something.

02:07:47.000 Oh, that sounds fun.

02:07:48.000 Movies!

02:07:48.000 Yeah, movies.

02:07:49.000 Maybe the second one will come out.

02:07:51.000 Maybe we'll end up talking about sports.

02:07:52.000 Who knows?

02:07:53.000 But until then, we will be back every Monday through Friday at 8 p.m.

02:07:57.000 live on this channel, so make sure you subscribe, smash the like button, follow us on all the platforms.

02:08:03.000 Thank you so much for hanging out, everybody.

02:08:05.000 We'll be back tomorrow, and we will see you all then.
