The New York Times reports that the suspect in the attack in the capital is a supporter of the Nation of Islam, a group led by former leader Louis Farrakhan. What does this have to do with the ongoing culture war between the left and right?
00:01:30.000They said that this man was a proponent of the Nation of Islam, a follower of Farrakhan, a vocal supporter, and they mentioned this is a black nationalist movement.
00:01:41.000Apparently he had posted something on Instagram or Facebook that indicated he was very much a leftist identitarian.
00:01:48.000And I'm not surprised this kind of thing is happening, but I'm still... I'm a bit unsurprised that they're going to try and downplay the politics on this one, because things have already been a bit chaotic in terms of left-right culture war, and the establishment seems to be very much deferential to and protective of leftist extremism, as we've seen.
00:02:08.000So we're going to talk about all this, and it's very heavy stuff.
00:02:46.000You know, normally we open, and it tends to be more humorous and jokey, and we let it draw out a little bit, but... You know, coming up here, we always go through the day trying to figure out what we're going to talk about, and what the stories are, and what's interesting.
00:03:01.000And then you get something like what happens today, and it's scary stuff.
00:03:06.000I mean, in any circumstance, if somebody crashed a car and, you know, got into it with cops, we probably wouldn't talk about that kind of thing, but this is hyper-political, in a hyper-polarized space.
00:03:16.000And there's just so much to go through.
00:03:18.000There's the establishment Democrat leftist type saying, clearly this was a white male.
00:03:22.000It's exactly why Mitch McConnell was wrong.
00:03:24.000They should have doubled down security.
00:03:26.000And then you got all these demands for more security.
00:03:43.000When everything went down on January 6th, I did a video just basically saying, here's what's happening, and they told me, you're out, and you're not allowed back in.
00:04:47.000This is the story from the New York Times.
00:04:49.000Suspect in capital attack appears to have been a follower of Louis Farrakhan.
00:04:54.000For those that aren't familiar, he is the leader of the Nation of Islam, who has repeatedly promoted antisemitism.
00:05:00.000The suspect, Noah R. Green, 25, was identified by two law enforcement officials and a congressional official.
00:05:06.000He was from Indiana and died of being shot by Capitol Police.
00:05:09.000On Facebook, Mr. Green had posted speeches and articles written by Mr. Farrakhan and Elijah Muhammad, who led the Nation of Islam from 1934 to 1975, that discussed the decline of America.
00:05:20.000Two law enforcement officials confirmed that the Facebook page, which was taken down on Friday, had belonged to Mr. Green.
00:05:26.000Mr. Green posted on Facebook about his personal struggles, especially during the pandemic.
00:05:30.000Quote, To be honest, these past few years have been tough, and these past few months have been tougher.
00:05:35.000I have been tried with some of the biggest unimaginable tests of my life.
00:05:38.000I am currently now unemployed, and I left my job partly due to afflictions.
00:05:42.000He also spoke on Facebook about the end times and the Antichrist.
00:05:45.000On March 17th, he posted a photo of a donation he made to the Norfolk, Virginia chapter of the Nation of Islam, along with a video of Farrakhan's speech entitled, The Divine Destruction of America.
00:05:54.000Later that day, he encouraged his friends to join him in studying the teachings of Farrakhan and Mr. Muhammad.
00:05:59.000The Nation of Islam is a black nationalist movement that has advocated African-American self-sufficiency.
00:06:04.000All right, I've got a thread pulled up from Andy Ngo, who's dug in a little bit to who this guy is and some of the things he said.
00:06:12.000The way the New York Times is quoting this guy as if we're going to look at his statements Not that long ago, there was a police officer who was paraphrasing what a mass shooter had said.
00:06:25.000And he lost his job, basically, for this.
00:06:37.000We see the double standard all the time.
00:06:39.000The mainstream establishment, corporate press, and politicians are deferential to left-wing extremism.
00:06:44.000They would come out in seconds Condemning this, and saying everything you'd expect him to say, terror, ban guns, all of that stuff, if this actually was a white person, as we've often seen.
00:06:57.000This time, though, many of these people did come out, they did say that.
00:07:01.000Now they're gonna become very quiet, now that we're learning who the suspect is.
00:07:05.000That's exactly what happened with Boulder, in fact.
00:07:10.000Now, Andy Ngo posts about the suspect here, and I just want to point out a couple other things.
00:07:15.000He says, in his last Instagram post before the attack, he wrote, the U.S.
00:07:20.000government is the number one enemy of black people.
00:07:23.000We are very much seeing leftist identitarianism, and it's reaching extreme levels.
00:07:29.000When it comes to Antifa and Black Lives Matter, we've long seen what I refer to as like blunt force extremism.
00:07:35.000In that the attacks they engaged in weren't the most violent or most lethal, but they were consistent and there were several instances of them.
00:07:45.000So when these riots start and they burn down buildings and they cause massive destruction, the loss of life is extensive across the country.
00:07:53.000But the media, as I mentioned, deferential.
00:07:56.000When it comes to these mass shooters, these are high-profile, very acute instances where everyone's attention is just grabbed instantly.
00:08:04.000So when you're dealing with endless antifa and Black Lives Matter violence, but on average they're punching people and they're beating people, that stuff doesn't become national news.
00:08:13.000Now, as things become hyper-polarized, this may be a one-off, and hopefully this is just some sick man and that's the end of it, but it may be that things are going to get even worse from this.
00:08:25.000I know, maybe it's a bit pessimistic for me to say, but I can already see the demands that We ban guns over this.
00:08:31.000That we reinstate security around the Capitol.
00:08:55.000It's always hard to kind of segue into a conversation when we're dealing with such serious Sure, I think there's absolutely a double standard.
00:09:00.000you know, kind of this hyperpolarization. But I suppose considering, you know, we've all talked
00:09:04.000about this, I'm curious your thoughts, Julie, on the hyperpolarization, the conflict, the security
00:09:09.000state, and you know, everything's been going on. Sure. I think there's absolutely a double standard.
00:09:14.000You know, a few weeks ago, when that guy who happened to be white shot up the Atlanta spas,
00:09:19.000people automatically said, oh, this is a white supremacist terrorist.
00:09:23.000May- Maybe we don't know, but they were quick to jump on that.
00:10:20.000You know, what's interesting is when that tragedy happened in Atlanta, The I believe it was the police. I'm not sure they said it
00:10:28.000wasn't race related right so I here's what I find interesting
00:10:31.000They came out and said no no it wasn't he was a sex addict two of the victims were white
00:10:35.000But even you point out. We don't really know we did an investigation a
00:10:39.000Lot of people on the left immediately said it was a race thing
00:10:44.000Even when the police come out and say it's not.
00:10:46.000Now, I know, well, maybe it's a bit unfair for me to say this, but I'll speculate, and I'd be willing to bet on this, the left is immediately going to change their tune and say it wasn't terror, it was a disturbed young man, and that's the game they'll play.
00:10:59.000Unless they want to ban guns, you know, I think it's, it's ridiculous that Ilhan Omar was like, what if he had a gun?
00:11:40.000Like they'll do if they're going to do like tests or like investigations and then in a year and a month, they're like, OK, we figured out he was racist.
00:13:07.000I'm not I don't support these like terror laws where you throw people in Gitmo because of the way they were thinking when they did the crime.
00:13:32.000Robert Conte, the acting DC police chief, said the incident does not appear to be terrorism-related and there was no indication of a nexus to a member of Congress.
00:13:40.000Glenn Greenwald responded, on what basis did the police pronounce the capital attack does not appear to be terrorism-related?
00:13:48.000How was it remotely possible to determine the mode of the attacker this early, which, by the way, is what determines whether an act of violence is or is not terror?
00:14:18.000If you took quotes from Farrakhan, and in any instance of the word black, you just swapped out white, you'd probably confuse people because they'd think it was Hitler.
00:14:47.000But think about what happens when they ban this guy.
00:14:49.000The only reason the New York Times is like they repeatedly promoted anti-Semitism is because the news stories that erupted when Farrakhan would post these things or when these videos would come out.
00:14:58.000You get rid of that speech, you get rid of that, you know, that ability to share information.
00:15:02.000And we'd be wondering, like, who's Farrakhan?
00:15:30.000Kids' books that are being made and tell the kids how to be a, you know, a cult member and things like that.
00:15:35.000Well, they go around naming their cult anti-racists, and it reminds me of the Simpsons when Homer's telling the story about when he's a kid, and they had the No Homers Club, and then he's like, but you let in that other Homer, and they're like, we're allowed to have one, like they made the name specifically to address something they were, you know, didn't want.
00:15:54.000And then they go around literally discriminating based on race, and encouraging overt, hardcore identitarianism and antisemitism, and I'm just like, man, There's so many well-to-do liberals that are so obsessed with social justice narratives, they overlook the fact that black nationalist anti-Semites exist in large numbers with a massive following, and they're sitting here going like, but what about Trump supporters?
00:16:32.000But that stuff's just... They ignore all that.
00:16:36.000This actually seems to be a prevalent thing in the African-American community because if you look at the attacks, well, if you look at the attacks on Jewish people in New York City, a majority of them are done by a certain ethnic minority.
00:16:48.000I know, I know, I know, you can't say it, but you can look at the videos and you can be like, oh my gosh, this is like actually a problem in their community.
00:16:55.000And I wonder if that is the influence of the, you know, the nation of Islam.
00:17:22.000I think it could be a problem in the black community.
00:17:25.000I've heard there's tensions between the Asians moving in and having stores and liquor stores and convenience stores and they think they're taking away, they're making profits off the black people.
00:17:36.000I don't know, that's not my community, but I've heard there's tension there.
00:17:40.000But they want to focus on, oh, these white people hate Asian people.
00:17:43.000I don't think that's really a huge thing.
00:17:46.000It's, when you look at the rules of YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc., you're allowed to disparage white people.
00:17:56.000Like, they've even talked about how, I think, I can't remember which platform it was, they said, you know, you're allowed to make disparaging comments on traditionally non-marginalized groups of people or whatever, like, we know what that means.
00:18:09.000And so, you know, thinking back to, like, old comedy, it was always safe to be like, oh, okay, white people, you know... White people crazy.
00:19:26.000And an 18 year old white kid got shot in the neck.
00:19:29.000I grew up watching this stuff, and it's no surprise to me.
00:19:32.000But I'm curious, you know, when I mentioned that I did a video saying I wasn't going to be covering what was going on in Milwaukee at the time because of the racial tensions, and I was like, for someone they perceive to be white, it's dangerous.
00:19:44.000You know, this kid got shot in the neck, so I'm not going to stick around.
00:19:48.000I did that video because I think I had like 20,000 subscribers.
00:19:51.000And there are people who follow me, and they wanted me to post videos from what was going on on the ground, and I said, I'm not gonna do it, and here's why.
00:20:46.000Where they're all just, there's just like piranhas everywhere.
00:20:49.000These, these culture warriors ready to cancel you the moment you say something that's cancelable.
00:20:54.000So no one will have honest conversations about their communities or other communities or racism because they'll get canceled the moment they do.
00:21:02.000I hope I get canceled though, because Dr. Seuss got canceled and his books are up, up, up, up, up.
00:22:12.000A teacher, one of these teachers in LA, you know, they do this woke stuff, apparently forgot to turn off Zoom and then went on like a racist tirade about this other black family and the way that she perceived black people and the way they acted.
00:24:11.000Why would there be a movement, an effort in the federal government to divide this country?
00:24:19.000Why would why would the Americans be intentionally dividing themselves?
00:24:23.000It could either be outside influence, or it could be a form of cultural apoptosis, where one cell is no longer needed in a system, it destroys itself.
00:24:32.000So if the United States has become vestigial in the human experience, that we're just ending our own experience for us?
00:25:47.000We're not this race first or this identity first.
00:25:49.000Instead, the prevailing ideology that's infected all of our institutions from the news media to schools and now the military is divide everybody up based on immutable characteristics and some other self-identified characteristics so that we are as fractured as possible.
00:26:06.000Okay, I'm sorry, like any strategist is gonna be like, that's a terrible idea.
00:26:10.000So then when conflict arises, we're too busy fighting ourselves.
00:26:13.000You know, as infantry, they want you like an infant.
00:26:28.000They want to wipe your mind clean of your past identity and make a new one that is synonymous with all others.
00:26:35.000And that's why you're part of this infantry.
00:26:39.000You're born, you're birthed into the port.
00:26:43.000The people who are fighting in a conflict, who are unified, who know who's on their side and knows what they're fighting for, and often we have corrupt officials and institutions and governments that manipulate the goodwill of the people who are willing to fight and lay their lives down for the right cause.
00:26:59.000They get manipulated and they get exploited and that's kind of what America's been doing for quite some time, especially in the past several decades.
00:27:05.000But I have tremendous respect for those that are willing to do that.
00:27:10.000More importantly, however, when I see the Pentagon chief diversity officer, and he got cancelled because he had racist comments or something, I don't know.
00:28:39.000In an interview, he said, we didn't want people to buy up all the masks when the medical professionals needed them first.
00:28:45.000Yeah, so they're a bunch of liars, but now there's a bunch of libertarians saying, oh, you believe in these government conspiracies because you want to wear a mask.
00:28:52.000It's like, man, I'm consistent on this issue.
00:28:59.000If the government says something, I'm going to do the opposite.
00:29:01.000Well, a lot of times that is true, but not all the time.
00:29:04.000Use your brain, not just reactionary, juvenile.
00:29:09.000I got hit up by somebody when all this started going down with COVID, and they were like, yo, the government said you don't need masks, quick, buy a bunch.
00:31:33.000So I drink water, it kind of absorbs the pollen.
00:31:35.000I read on this website that if you eat worms, like parasites, then you'll get cured of your allergies.
00:31:42.000Maybe it was just one of those crackpot hippy-dippy websites, but what it was saying was that—actually, I probably saw this on Reddit, because I don't read any crackpot hippy-dippy websites—but it was basically saying that you have two different immune systems, I suppose, one for parasites and one for pathogens or something.
00:31:56.000But because we've cured ourselves and, like, eliminated parasites for the most part from our diets, we just have this, like, crazy immune system.
00:32:03.000That could just be a bunch of bunk nonsense from Reddit.
00:35:05.000You know, one of the things that I'm starting to wonder during the course of this conversation is that maybe because we're not in relationships, we're not married and we don't have families, we don't want to break stuff.
00:35:13.000I mean, yeah, it's not that you don't want to break stuff, but you don't have like the rock tumbler effect of being in a long term relationship where you're just kind of like knocking the rough edges off the other person constantly and they're doing the same for you.
00:35:23.000And maybe that leads to our Emotions being bottled up and yelling at each other.
00:35:27.000No, I was just I was just thinking that Because of something you said earlier when you are talking about just being busy with your family Because it's something we've absolutely heard from a lot of other guests and a lot of our friends where it's like oh, man You know with the school like we've been so wrapped up.
00:35:43.000I haven't been following the news all that much You know cuz I got two kids or whatever.
00:35:46.000That's what I hear a lot of and so I'm thinking right now You know what would end the culture war?
00:36:35.000I think of chemical castration, not really castration, but like all these weird new food chemicals that get added and created in laboratories.
00:36:42.000You know, all these new sugars, sucralose, aspartame, fructose.
00:36:46.000And yeah, but it's making people's sex drive go down.
00:39:06.000It might sound hyperbolic, I'm not literally, I don't think I'm shattered, but my DNA is shattering.
00:39:12.000Like I feel shaken with this news of Russia and Ukraine and then this social war thing is like... I don't know what to do.
00:39:22.000I could have sworn I read something that was sent to me by Carl Benjamin, where it was like, the UK says you can't have sex with somebody, and then also it was just like, some high-ranking government official was telling people to just go, like, crank it out themselves.
00:40:48.000It's like basically this dude's got this, like, immortality thing, and then one son's bitten by a bat and one son's bitten by a wolf, and then it creates the two different tribes, the werewolves and the vampires.
00:40:57.000So you have these people who, like, drift into one tribe or the other, SJW, anti-SJW, because they're trying to find some purpose in their lives.
00:41:05.000And, you know, like I mentioned, Jordan Peterson provided purpose to a lot of these young men.
00:41:55.000Just what kind of future my son is going to be into and how can I change that?
00:42:02.000And I think I've changed my commentary a lot, where I've been, you know, I want to make a difference, a positive difference in people's lives.
00:42:11.000Where before, you know, I was a little bit trolly.
00:42:14.000But I feel like I want to make an impact in the world because for my son and hopefully future children's sake, I'm also scared of pedophiles.
00:43:39.000I hear a lot from people who have kids where they're like, I have to make sure I'm around for my kids, but then they're willing to sacrifice the bigger picture for their kids.
00:43:47.000Like they're willing to say, I'll forego this conflict and risking myself to fight for these ideas because it's better that I can be there for my kids to give them food than it is that I defend a future.
00:44:52.000I think just that I have influence over my child and it isn't just a stranger who's raising them, whose ideology I may not agree with, and who may be out of his life.
00:45:38.000It was crazy, uh, you know, growing up skateboarding, there would always be these scooter kids at the skate park and skateboarders were so annoyed because they'd get in the way and didn't know what they were doing.
00:45:47.000But I'll tell you the craziest thing is like, I see the scooter kid at the skate park and I'm like, oh, these scooter kids, man.
00:45:55.000But their parents got to tell them about like teaching about etiquette and stuff.
00:45:58.000And then it's like four years later and the scooter kid is now like 15 and he's doing backflips and like launching, you know, 10 feet in the air.
00:46:19.000Having your kid understand the system from within it is probably really important, but it can only be done with your guidance outside of the school.
00:46:39.000And then I realized, like, I realized what the system was, and sort of, I was very young.
00:46:45.000But I was like, oh, okay, so this is not entirely legitimate.
00:46:48.000And so I would see how the system worked, but was constantly being reminded from outside of it what the system was.
00:46:54.000Also, I started working for my family's business when I was like 9 or 10 years old because we had a family cafe.
00:47:00.000And then you hear real conversations from real adults.
00:47:02.000You deal with real money and you have real experience in the real world.
00:47:04.000You go to school and everything's so trivial and nonsensical, you know?
00:47:08.000Yeah, I think parental involvement is number one.
00:47:11.000I grew up going to government schools, but I had a family who was more conservative.
00:47:15.000My grandfather was a huge influence on me.
00:47:17.000He was more of a libertarian type, and he would tell me, you know, just kiss their butt, get an A, and then just Everything they say go out the other ear It is a lot like military academy like public school sit down wait for the bell to ring raise your hand Don't speak out of line, you know stand up the dress some places have dress codes.
00:47:40.000I Wonder if sending kids off to military school at the age of four or five is wise I don't know about military school pre-military school.
00:47:48.000I No, I think having good parents, a good balance between between masculine, feminine and physical activity and mental activity, having a strong father and mother who can provide a good balance of perspective.
00:48:06.000Suppose not everybody gets that, though.
00:48:09.000Are you gonna have a dad who's, like, a short, overweight middle manager who is deferential to everybody and just, whenever someone pushes him around, he apologizes and tells his kid to keep his head down and not fight back?
00:48:20.000Or is he gonna be this, like, ripped lumberjack guy who's like, don't take nothing from nobody.
00:48:24.000And then he like, here's your shotgun.
00:48:26.000I know you're seven, but I think you can handle a 12-gauge, son.
00:48:29.000And then you gotta have the mom being like, don't give him a 12 gauge when he's 7.
00:48:33.000You gotta have that mix, you know what I mean?
00:49:30.000They'll take a quote from a conservative who's like, you have to have kids to preserve America and its culture, and they'll be like, why?
00:49:39.000And that's why it's really fascinating to see conservatives, this overlaps a lot with like immigration, concern about immigrants coming in and displacing American culture and getting rid of Christmas.
00:49:50.000Conservatives very much want to preserve, you know, conserve these traditions and their culture.
00:49:55.000I'm actually not particularly conservative.
00:49:58.000I just think if you don't have kids, then there's no people.
00:50:01.000So I mean, I guess we can build robots to replace ourselves.
00:50:03.000We're not doing that either or live longer.
00:50:53.000They basically created this space where they put a bunch of mice or rats or something and they gave them all food and said, like, no matter what happened, they never ran out of food.
00:51:07.000Some just stopped reproducing and just died.
00:51:10.000And, you know, people wonder if we as humans are susceptible to something similar where we've reached this point where people don't have to work.
00:51:28.000Work is like, I have to grow the food, I have to hunt, I have to build the house, I have to start the fire, I have to generate the electricity to power the machines, I have to find the energy source so that we can stay warm in the winter.
00:51:38.000Writing articles about celebrity gossip is not work.
00:51:45.000Like, I look back, I'm a woman, obviously, but my great-grandfathers were coal miners and such hard work.
00:51:53.000I look back at my great-grandmother's, like they had to cook everything from scratch and wash everything from, you know, they didn't have laundry machines or dishwashers and I just, I think we're so lucky to not have to do all that stuff.
00:52:05.000Going back, yes, and so I'll attach that to what Ian was saying about, you're talking about Rome, right?
00:52:18.000When the culture is stagnant or if the technology isn't fast enough.
00:52:27.000It's a weird hybrid moment of reaching that apex of technology with population to where the culture stagnates.
00:52:36.000Then once Rome collapsed, the technology persisted.
00:52:39.000A lot of this information persisted and spread out a little bit.
00:52:42.000And then started to improve, and people started to fight again and work hard again, and then you come to the colonial era, European colonialism and things like that, striving for more and no longer just being like, I want to be a layabout glutton because I have all this stuff.
00:52:56.000So the technology remains, things become easier, but then the quest re-emerges.
00:53:01.000So maybe what's going to happen for us is that some kind of, you know, massive, you know, century turning or millennial turning, millennium turning, where we've reached this point where we as a culture are all gluttonous because technology has granted us this.
00:53:19.000After our culture collapses, then there will be a struggle again, but that technology will still exist.
00:53:25.000So then in another couple hundred years, it'll be even better for everybody.
00:53:29.000And then they'll start becoming gluttonous and lazy.
00:53:32.000I guess the question is, do we have it too good in America?
00:53:36.000Because my, my father-in-law is from the Soviet Union and he, you know, it wasn't such a great time in the Soviet Union.
00:53:43.000He's like, looks at these American kids and teenagers and millennials having this Depression and anxiety and he's like what the heck you guys have pretty much everything you want You live in nice places.
00:53:56.000You have all this food and why why could you possibly be depressed?
00:54:01.000Because they don't they don't have a purpose right and I think you know Andrew Yang wants to send everyone $12,000 a year.
00:54:38.000He says, overall, with one exception, white moderates, those in the 18 to 29 age group are more likely to report being diagnosed with a mental health condition.
00:54:46.000The differences among white liberals, though, are striking.
00:54:49.000Almost half of white liberals in this cohort report a diagnosis.
00:54:54.000And in this graph, he shows us four different age groups, 18 to 29, 30 to 49, 50 to 64, and 65 plus.
00:55:01.00065 plus from liberal, moderate to conservative, low instances of mental health.
00:56:12.000And it's very, very similar, but even among white conservative women, 27.3% in the 18 to 29 age bracket.
00:56:20.000Now, the first thing I'll say is, I think the age thing shows us a generational shift in mental health diagnosis.
00:56:27.000Someone who's 65 probably was not diagnosed with conditions when they were young, and other older don't care to go to the doctor and actually get diagnosed with this.
00:56:36.000The difference, the important factor, is the gap.
00:56:39.000Among white liberals, 65 and older, it's almost identical.
00:57:41.000Yeah, I think with older people, I think there was just a stigma against reaching out and getting therapy and all that.
00:57:49.000With the younger people, I feel like being a liberal would be so hard because if you don't have kids, like you were talking about, you're focused on all this other stuff and a lot of stuff is just out of your control.
00:58:02.000Like the liberals are very focused on like climate change issues.
00:58:05.000I know that's a huge one with them having climate change anxiety and just You know all this racism and stuff and they're it's out of your control where I think conservative people are kind of more focused in words and on the individual and on their families where liberals is like I want to save the world of world peace and it's like no there's Ukraine and Crimea and all this stuff and you can't do anything on an individual level about that.
00:58:28.000That is such a good point, because you're right, conservatives do focus on the individual level.
00:58:34.000And that means they do things like make families, they have kids, they focus on their work, they find things to do that are meaningful, and they don't tend to stress too much about stuff that they cannot have any possible control over, like global warming.
00:58:46.000When it comes to the older people, a lot of them probably did struggle with this stuff and they probably just learned to live with it and maybe never got diagnosed.
01:00:31.000But the issue is that if a guy's firing off several million each instance, if 90% of those are just deficient, he's got a couple that are working.
01:01:29.000But I'm saying, I believe it's a huge factor in the fact that as a 35-year-old guy with no kids, I should probably start thinking about having a family, but I got it.
01:01:59.000But the point is, I don't have to consider a biological limitation.
01:02:03.000If you were a 35 year old woman, you definitely would.
01:02:05.000So I'm wondering if there are women who are sitting here, and you guys tell me what you think, when they're looking at the media saying, just freeze your eggs, and work, and be a CEO, and they're thinking to themselves, but I want to have kids too!
01:02:17.000And you've got a combination of mainstream liberal social stigma telling you, no, you can't take time off, and the physical realities of, you might have to.
01:02:27.000You could be a CEO later in life, though.
01:02:30.000Like, your kids are so young for such a short amount of time.
01:03:04.000Some of them became teachers and pharmacists and stuff.
01:03:07.000I was like, that seems like such a good balance because if you want to work by the time you're that age, you'll know exactly what you want to do.
01:03:12.000Your kids will have a firm start in life.
01:03:14.000Yeah, and you can have your career and your kids at the same time and you're not worrying about, I'm 35, 40 years old, I might have to get IVF, which is really expensive.
01:03:23.000You mentioned your kids are really young for a short amount of time.
01:03:26.000Reminds me of this really funny story.
01:03:28.000This guy posted on the internet, he was like 25 and he went and visited his dad.
01:03:33.000Or it's like he was at his parents' house for the holidays and out of nowhere his dad walks in the room and just grabs him and lifts him up as high as he could.
01:03:39.000And he's like, Dad, what are you doing?
01:03:41.000And his dad said, I saw a meme where it said, one day you lifted your child for the last time and didn't realize it.
01:03:49.000His dad was basically like, I can pick my son up whenever I want.
01:03:53.000But no, it's an interesting point too, like, people don't realize that you pick your kid up one day, the next day you don't, and that may have been the last time and you never notice.
01:04:09.000Do you guys think that there's resentment between women and men?
01:04:12.000The women resenting the men their age that don't want to have kids and don't have to.
01:04:17.000And the women are like, but I feel guilty for resenting them because they shouldn't have to.
01:04:22.000They're not biologically bound, so why would they?
01:04:24.000But then they're internalizing this resentment and lashing out against men.
01:04:29.000I think there's some women who do, but I think there's some men who do, you know what I mean?
01:04:35.000My bigger concern is not the individual, it's what we're encouraging and exacerbating in culture.
01:04:41.000I would ask that because I think I have some deep resentment against women that want to have kids with me at my age because they are on a time clock I'm not, and I know they are, and I shouldn't feel that.
01:05:01.000The men at a later age are more financially stable, more mature, and they're better able to raise a child where the younger woman is both more fertile.
01:05:10.000So I think that that combination makes more sense.
01:05:16.000So I would say, you know, if you're a young 20 something year old girl, Probably don't date guys that are in their young 20s because most of them, you know, they don't want to have kids right now and they don't have to.
01:05:32.000And now here's the really offensive part for the feminists.
01:05:36.000The kind of person who's going to be writing an article consistently, or writing articles consistently, Is not likely to be, you know, a stay-at-home mom who's got kids and dealing with them.
01:05:48.000You tend to see the careerist feminists who are in these positions at media outlets with the time and energy to write these articles.
01:05:55.000So their perspective is that of one type of person, right?
01:06:00.000Oh yeah, as a stay-at-home mom you don't really have as powerful as a voice, I would say.
01:06:06.000It's really fascinating to see all these feminist writers, and it's no surprise then, that many of the women who work in digital media are feminists, because, you know, they don't want to have families, they want a career, and they want to fight for that.
01:06:19.000That's their opinion, that's why they're there, or one of the reasons, and they're going to write those opinions over and over and over again.
01:06:25.000Then it's interesting, because I wonder how that affects Other men who know it's like, Hey, I want to have a kid
01:06:29.000before this age, but everything you read from every woman in a high profile media position is saying, don't have kids
01:07:46.000Some of these guys might have been 30 years old, and they might have been a career, had a career in the military, and now they're getting deployed, and so they've seen some stuff.
01:07:55.000I mean, among liberals, it's not there.
01:07:56.000Among conservatives, it's still women.
01:07:58.000But I wonder, why is it, and no matter what you say, you're going to offend somebody, that women consistently report having more mental health conditions?
01:08:07.000Is it because women are more willing to go to the doctor?
01:08:46.000And I feel like I'm creating it when it wasn't there.
01:08:49.000I think for me it's more, I'm too arrogant.
01:08:52.000Not in that I'm like, no one's going to tell me I'm weak.
01:08:55.000It's kind of like, no, I self-analyze and I self-diagnose and then I try to assess and solve any things that I see in myself.
01:09:04.000So when I'm feeling depressed, when I'm anxious, when I'm angry, I kind of, you know, question and think about it and try and figure out what's conducive to a positive working environment or to my goals.
01:09:15.000And if this thing I'm feeling isn't doing that, then I need to navigate that myself.
01:10:10.000You know, when, when, when, when they're in good faith, but even when they're not, it's funny because there's a lot of people who will claim, claim I say something too much, not realizing that there's like a period where for like a few days, I'll say one thing too much and then it goes away.
01:10:46.000And then there was like a, then like when I was trying to correct it, I'd be recording and I'd be like, look, anyway, at the end of the day, then I'd stop and I'd be like, okay.
01:11:16.000I think the reality is that there are some men who are just weak, pathetic, and they can't handle the realities, and there are some strong men who just don't need to be told what's wrong with them.
01:11:29.000But in all seriousness, there are some guys that are stoic and calm and pragmatic and rational, and there are some guys who do need help who feel like they can't do it because they have to emulate these other kind of guys, you know what I mean?
01:11:42.000So, for me, like I said, I don't think there's any kind of sitting down and talking to someone about my feelings that's ever gonna help me in any way.
01:11:52.000And I'd be frustrated and angered by it.
01:11:54.000If I have an issue and I'm feeling some way, I have to, like, navigate in my brain and, like, draw it out, figure out what it is, what's bothering me.
01:12:35.000So, you know, one of my favorite quotes from Marcus Aurelius is that even a soldier needs the help of his fellow soldiers.
01:12:40.000And I was thinking that, to me, speaks about the psychology of men even back in the Roman Empire.
01:12:46.000Like, this is something that he knew that people needed to hear, especially guys.
01:12:49.000Like, you have to put it in a way that guys understand and sympathize with.
01:12:52.000I definitely feel like, for me personally, when I hear the narrative of guys being too macho and not wanting to go to the doctor, it really feels like a woman's perspective.
01:13:21.000I have seen people who have lost loved ones, who have lost their dog or whatever, and it's devastating, and they're in pain, and they want to talk about it, or they want to be alone and just work through their feelings.
01:13:31.000But I definitely feel like, for me personally, Whenever I hear this narrative, you know, oh, so many men are hurting and they're too scared because they have to be macho, I'm like, I just think that women are more emotional than guys.
01:14:22.000Well, so this is an interesting thing.
01:14:25.000You need to understand there's actually two generations of thought in the trans community.
01:14:30.000There's the binary trans and the non-binary trans.
01:14:32.000So there have been some very prominent trans women cancelled, you know, attacked and harassed.
01:14:37.000by the Gen Z transgender individuals, because in their ideology, it's gender non-binary, gender spectrum.
01:14:45.000So it doesn't necessarily mean that you're transitioning from male, you know, man to woman.
01:14:50.000You're literally just moving between this spectrum.
01:14:53.000So some people are gender fluid, which means they can trans back and forth, depending on the time of the day.
01:14:58.000And there's a bunch of other genders where they say it fits at some point.
01:15:01.000On a scale of one to a thousand, you know, I'm a 327 leaning, you know, male or whatever.
01:15:07.000But for the older generation, it tends to be more binary trans.
01:15:12.000So some of the friends that I have were definitely in the category of more binary.
01:15:18.000They genuinely believed there were only two genders, only two biological sexes, etc.
01:15:23.000Now when those people go online and post these things, they get attacked and harassed by the younger generation that believes it's a spectrum.
01:15:31.000I think one of the interesting ways to describe the difference in the ideologies is the common, the colloquial terminology, assigned male at birth or assigned female at birth.
01:15:44.000So, in my opinion, it's a strange way of looking at it, and it fits into this idea that male and female don't exist, when in fact they do.
01:16:24.000And then whenever you say that, you'll get, you know, one of these left individuals saying, so a person who can't produce them anymore is no longer, and you're like, The exceptions.
01:17:04.000Unless we evolved to a different species, but the Homo sapien is an animal, and when we're born we have sex organs.
01:17:09.000Now, you can always re-identify gender and what that means, and I think they're, like you were saying, their terms of service are trying to acknowledge both.
01:17:17.000Like, you can still kind of have the biological argument, but they're trying to placate or make sure that people don't get hurt if their emotions aren't trampled on, or that people have the right to artistically express their gender beliefs and things like that.
01:17:49.000But hey, that's reality, and that's the kind of stuff we don't want to happen.
01:17:52.000The long story short is, I would love for, you know, my transgendered married friends to be armed to the teeth and buying their drugs with Bitcoin and be free from oppression from the government because they want to be in private on their farm.
01:19:03.000If you try to force people to do things.
01:19:05.000But there's a range, the statistics show it's between like, I think it's like 0.6% to like 1.3% of people that are non, they don't fall perfectly into XX or XY.
01:19:19.000And if we're then going to try and navigate how we respect, you know, 1.3 on the high end or even, you know, 0.6, that's still a lot of people.
01:19:27.000And I have no problem being like, hey man, you know, let me know what makes you comfortable.
01:19:30.000I'm here to work with you and things like that.
01:19:56.000Uh, and then he referred to the student who was, you know, assigned female at birth as, as the nomenclature says and got sued, got in trouble, got threatened.
01:20:05.000And then he filed a lawsuit saying it was free speech.
01:20:22.000So it's kind of like, not even necessarily humiliation, but I get the idea that people are like, I believe in using language this way and forcing someone to change how they speak because pronouns aren't someone's name.
01:20:35.000Pronouns are a function of language, not an individual.
01:20:38.000I just think there's also an interesting argument to be like, what if a teacher is calling you an insult?
01:20:58.000All right, we're gonna read this article because we had this pulled up before and I'm gonna tell everybody right now before we read this article I'll tell you the one thing everybody we hear the most of from guests and in conversations Not everybody says this and it's a small minority people do but we've had people come in and say I'm more than happy to do the show so long as you don't ever ask me questions about transgenderism or trans people And I'd be like, I mean, if there's news, there's news.
01:21:28.000And I gotta tell you, if someone comes on the show and they're like, I won't talk about this, there's no point in asking because they'll just not interact with you and it'll be a really weird conversation where you're like, so what do you think?
01:21:39.000And they just don't say anything, so it's like, alright I guess.
01:21:42.000And the reason for it is, almost no matter what you do, you get attacked when you bring this stuff up.
01:21:48.000Well, I don't know what else to do, but, you know, talk about it.
01:21:50.000We have this story from the New York Post.
01:21:52.000CNN ridiculed for saying there is no consensus for assigning sex at birth.
01:21:57.000The New York Post reports, CNN is being ridiculed online for insisting there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth, with critics telling the network to look just below the waist for insight.
01:22:07.000The Left-Leaning Network statement was quickly shared online after appeared in a news story Wednesday about South Dakota banning transgender athletes from women's sports.
01:22:14.000It's not possible to know a person's gender identity at birth, and there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth, CNN's Devin Cole wrote.
01:22:23.000Critics quickly ripped the outlet for reporting it as straight fact, rather than attributing it to others and noting differing views.
01:22:29.000Quote, I've gotten used to a lot of woke craziness.
01:22:32.000Never thought I'd see biological sex in scare quotes, a Twitter user wrote.
01:23:28.000You do have a lot of people who are like, it's either that or this.
01:23:31.000Then you have people like Dr. Deborah So, for instance, who's very intelligent, saying, well, you know, it's bimodal, there is an overlap, but for the most part, it's overwhelmingly, you know, male or female.
01:23:45.000If you want to have like an honest, nuanced conversation, it's really difficult to have in hyper-polarized times.
01:23:50.000But I'm sorry, like, I have a line, right?
01:24:01.000They identify you as, the doctor sees it and says, this is what the baby is.
01:24:05.000And they can be wrong, and they have been wrong.
01:24:07.000There's some prominent activists who were incorrectly identified because they were intersex.
01:24:13.000Like there's one woman who is actually biologically male, based on DNA.
01:24:18.000And the issue was, I forgot what the syndrome is called, But did not develop, like the testes did not produce testosterone.
01:24:26.000So now they very much, this individual looks very much female, even though genetically is male.
01:24:33.000And so then when you have a doctor say that, and they realize that's not true, it doesn't fit how they feel, and they actually want to be a man, like, yeah, that makes sense.
01:24:42.000You know, making sure we protect the rights of all people is part of the conversation.
01:24:46.000But when you get activists coming out and saying, actually, there's no biological sex, It's like, okay, what I got from this is this writer said, it's difficult or challenging to establish gender identity at birth.
01:24:58.000And then immediately in the next sentence said biological sex, as if they were the same thing.
01:25:04.000No, gender identity and biological sex are different.
01:25:26.000I think it's due to a bunch of really dumb people who work in media who don't understand things, who write about things and conflated them and made the mistake.
01:25:34.000So what happens is you'll get some like intellectual saying, well biological sex does exist.
01:25:38.000Gender is the social constructs that have formed around the biological sexes and thus people could identify between any of, you know, and any in between or outside of gender.
01:25:49.000In fact, if it is a simple social construct, then certainly someone could make up their own social
01:26:47.000The X is supposed to symbolize the symbol for trans.
01:26:50.000And so they changed the O to an X. It might work in written language, but in spoken language it's confusing and people are like... Yeah, I didn't know what you were talking about.
01:27:15.000Trans women are women, so you don't need to say Wemexin.
01:27:18.000Then a year later, they started using Wemexin again.
01:27:21.000So it's like, no matter what you do, someone will claim, someone will say it's wrong.
01:27:26.000It's like, it's like I mentioned before, the liberal, uh, circular firing squad or Mexican standoff, where they're all staring at each other, waiting for anything they can use as an infraction.
01:27:34.000So people don't want to talk about this.
01:27:35.000Importantly, I think don't, don't ridicule it and not publicly.
01:27:39.000If you're going to talk about it, do not ridicule this stuff.
01:28:46.000Someone actually was saying that we were talking about something about mental illness and how we were being like kind of kind and like You know people need help people need help in society But that I had been too hard on people that are obese and that I'm treating it like it's not a mental illness and I think they might be right because I've been You know, I'm a huge foodie and into sugar and make the best of it make the best everybody comes here They're like, what was that brookie inmate?
01:29:11.000I'm like, wow, and I'm like obesity is a pro obesity is a problem and I do believe what we see this problem, but I do not want to ostracize people that are I have that problem.
01:29:21.000This is a guy, ladies and gentlemen, who complains about the sugar industry and then makes the
01:30:20.000These people are abused, they're being enabled, they've been manipulated, they're being like, their parents will go out and bring them to stuff because they can no longer leave their house.
01:31:32.000I understand your point, though, by signaling, like, when somebody goes on Twitter and just insults and berates somebody because the right is piling on.
01:31:42.000So, I just am absolutely not a fan of that stuff.
01:31:45.000Yeah, like the whole like Meghan Markle thing.
01:31:49.000Like, I looked at this and I had no opinion about it, but I saw a bunch of conservatives attacking her and I'm just like, did you care about this yesterday?
01:33:18.000I think if people just focus on themselves and what they want to do and stay true to themselves, it's their better path forward.
01:33:25.000But going back to the thing about conservatives, we know that there are a lot of leftists who are virtue signalers, who will mock and grift and berate people on the right, or just not the left, and lie about them in order to earn points.
01:33:40.000I think a really good example is this show, exactly.
01:33:42.000I had a big argument with this friend of mine.
01:33:46.000And what had happened was I made a post about the Chauvin trial.
01:33:52.000The defense basically said George Floyd had OD'd before and had similar symptoms at the time of his arrest here.
01:33:59.000And we learned that, according to his girlfriend, the dude with Floyd was their dealer.
01:34:04.000So I'm like, this is huge for the defense.
01:34:06.000Because a third degree murder in Minneapolis is if you provide a substance to someone that kills them, that's your fault.
01:34:11.000So that's this other guy's fault, which could present very serious reasonable doubt as to what happened with Floyd and who was responsible.
01:34:18.000And so, you know, someone comes in and they say, oh, here comes Tim Poole's confirmation bias and all of his, you know, cult followers don't want to read the actual news.
01:34:27.000And I had a conversation with this person.
01:34:29.000I was like, you need to understand what happened here.
01:34:33.000You don't know the opinions expressed on this show.
01:34:36.000You don't know the opinions of the people who comment on the show.
01:34:39.000And you look at it and immediately assume, if we're saying the defense got a victory, you know, in today's hearing, you assume it's a bunch of Trump-supporting, red-hat-wearing, MAGA, flag-waving people, when in fact it's a variety of people who are just paying attention.
01:34:54.000You come in, acting like you know everything, and everyone starts trying to explain to you calmly, and you get angry.
01:35:00.000This is what happens for a lot of people.
01:35:01.000They walk into a room where people are saying, wow, the defense in the Chauvin trial, this was big.
01:36:01.000I try to be fair for someone I don't know.
01:36:05.000I suppose if, like, there were two people hanging on the side of a cliff and I knew one of them, like, I'm gonna save that person over the person I don't know.
01:36:18.000You're standing there, and there's a cliff, and you've got your mom hanging, but then you've got a seven-year-old girl hanging on the other side.
01:37:46.000But anyway, go to TimGuys.com because I think early next week, Hopefully!
01:37:51.000But regardless of the format of the website, we are preparing shows and we want to get started on this stuff.
01:37:56.000Ian was talking about some developers and doing this open source technology and just kind of going crazy and building out technology and tools that are gonna make the world a better place, but also making good Content.
01:38:07.000We're slowly seeding everything we need.
01:38:11.000We've got some people joining really soon to start producing more content.
01:38:15.000And it's a-coming, so make sure you sign up.
01:38:17.000And don't forget to like the video if you haven't already, subscribe, hit the notification bell, and share this show if you really do like it.
01:39:04.000And they said it's the meaning of life in that one book.
01:39:08.000It'd be funny if after the show ends we go downstairs and all of a sudden Ian starts floating and a beam of light comes around him and his eyes are glowing.
01:39:16.000And then he just starts firing gigantic lightning bolts and blowing everything up and people are running and screaming.
01:39:21.000I feel like I'm wrapping the first trimester of my life.
01:39:28.000Right now that I'll go to like 150 or 120 with all this life extension stuff.
01:39:32.000And a lot of it's going to be like, it's going to be a different version of life, like an outer space, like a different, hopefully weird.
01:43:06.000He says, Asians make far better stuff.
01:43:08.000Japan with Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Sony, Seiko, plus Tokyo is super clean and wish the general American public can learn more from their culture.
01:43:24.000Man, it's a really different culture, I'll tell you that.
01:43:27.000You know, there's a, there's a, there's a bunch of, I'll try to be family friendly.
01:43:31.000There are a bunch of businesses for men to relieve themselves in adult manners.
01:43:38.000They're literal, like, I saw the sign everywhere when I was in Tokyo and I was like, what is this?
01:43:43.000You know, I was like, I didn't know what it was.
01:43:45.000And then the, my, my, my fixer, which is, you know, a local Japanese woman, she was like, oh, it's, you know, and then she explained to me that guys, you know, every so often they got, got urges and needs and they go in there and there's like used underwear in jars and like, you know, boxes you could buy.
01:44:15.000Conti says, Tim, US military just had extremist stand down training today.
01:44:20.000Even though they talk about Antifa, BLM and supremacy are extremists, they only show videos from C-SPAN from January 6 and some shootings that was done by white people.
01:45:01.000And it's the perfect example of one of the reasons I don't like my serious problems with the critical race theorists is when I get some uppity white progressive being like, let me explain to you what it's like to be a marginalized person.
01:46:30.000Trent Lamalino says, Hey gang, love what is on the horizon, but make it a mandatory daily obligation to get Adam Curry and no agenda is vital.
01:48:55.000Well, I've seen videos of people at the front gate bashing the windows and then people fighting them.
01:49:00.000I've seen the videos of the people running in and clashing with the police, and I've seen the video of having the door opened.
01:49:05.000I think there are people who are there who, uh, Only like walked around and didn't realize what was going on at the Capitol and think it was only the peaceful side.
01:49:15.000But we quite literally had, uh, I believe we had more than one of the journalists.
01:50:23.000He is a leader in pushing back against the insanity in the culture war and is a brilliant game developer.
01:50:27.000And for those that don't know, if you've played World of Warcraft, I believe there's a ring called the Mark of Kern, or it may not be a ring, it may be just an item.
01:50:35.000It was named after Mark Kern, one of the OG developers of World of Warcraft, and Mark is rad, and I would love to have him on the show.
01:50:41.000I think I've dealt with him in the past periodically.
01:50:44.000We should definitely reach out to him and have him on the show because he's a cool dude.
01:50:48.000He's working on a new video, a new video game, too, and we can talk about that.
01:51:13.000Maybe, you know, people will find a fun game.
01:51:15.000Marcus Carter says, I'm a 37-year-old disabled combat veteran with a three-year-old child on life support since birth.
01:51:20.000I just started a PAC, Shorting DC, because despite my problems, they are nothing to the problems we all face together if we don't recapture our government.
01:52:21.000Yeah you before the show you were talking about this and it's like a really scary thought if Russia makes a move on Ukraine because it sees fires over and other amassing troops the u.s.
01:52:31.000Will absolutely prioritize Ukraine and then China will immediately seize Taiwan and they'll point at Russia say they're doing it and Then all the countries around the world that have a place they want to invade will start it will invade it They'll be like America can't stop us all And then the Russians and the Chinese won't fight each other at first, just like the Nazis and the Russians didn't fight each other at first until Germany invaded Russia.
01:52:53.000China is this imperialist monster, has been messing with Russia, may eventually invade Russia, and then the Russians will flip.
01:54:31.000I've heard, especially like in World War I, World War II, like there was a lot of, you know, you're not a man if you don't go to war and that kind of thing.
01:55:00.000I think it's an excuse from people who haven't been dealing with the actual racial problems in this country.
01:55:07.000In fact, I've been making it worse when they demonize Asians as white adjacent or actually more privileged than white people, or even coming to the point where just in the past few months, they were like, Asians are white.
01:55:19.000Alex B says skateboarding is such an amazing and skill-teaching experience.
01:55:21.000Dude, these people went on racist tirades for years about Asian people, so I don't blame Trump for that.
01:55:27.000Alex B says skateboarding is such an amazing and skill-teaching experience.
01:55:34.000The camaraderie, relationships, and experiences are character-building.
01:55:48.000So now, you've been seeing this over the past decade, where it's like kids who have coaches and trainers, and it's like, we want to see 50 kickflips today, and it's just so different from what skateboarding is.
01:56:00.000Yeah, so it's getting to a point where there's still that aspect of skateboarder culture, but I'd be willing to bet with the emergence of park skating is when we really started to see skateboard culture kind of go bad, in a sense, or lose its soul.
01:56:15.000There are a lot of people who are like, hey man, times change.
01:56:19.000Like, I have this anecdote about watching the older generation wear baggy pants, then my generation wore the skin-tight pants, and then the younger generation wore the flooded dickies where they're like, they didn't go down to their ankles, and I'm like, and I was like, word man, do your thing, feel good about yourself.
01:56:34.000But that was still part, there was still soul in that.
01:56:36.000Now it's like cookie-cutter corporate.
01:56:38.000Now it's like you watch some of these people and it's like, oh man, this is gonna be boring.
01:57:03.000It's considered not as, like, legit to do a trick at a skate park than if you did it in the actual streets, because you're, like, conquering real terrain.
01:57:09.000But I think we're getting danger- like, it's coming to the point now where it's just gonna be park skating.
01:57:14.000You know, so like, the soul, the original.
01:57:16.000Which maybe is a good thing, because there's a lot of kids who act a fool, and they'll like, fight with cops, or fight with security guards, and one security guard got like, killed, because some guy shoved him, and like, you know, it's a whole lot of bad stuff.
01:58:15.000I think that your family is not your blood relatives necessarily, but what you're familiar with and you choose your family.
01:58:22.000Even if you feel like you're thrust into what you're born with, you can always find another place to be familiar.
01:58:28.000Baby kittens, you know, cats like to be really warm, so they lay on computers.
01:58:31.000And so, the lady sent me this video where there's baby kittens, and there's a chicken, and the guy walks over to the chicken, and the chicken stands up, and the kittens are underneath it, because the chicken's all like, I gotta keep these babies warm, and the cats are like, the kittens want to be warm, you know?
01:58:44.000Those kittens are gonna grow up, they're gonna be like, chicken is my friend, I love chicken, you know?
02:00:23.000Either I'm a candle burning twice as bright by the time I'm 50, I'll be like... Or I'm gonna be like... There's something to... This is really out there, but like internet video and people thinking about you when they're watching... Because right now, people are watching Tim's videos.
02:00:39.000Thousands and thousands of people are perceiving Tim and thinking about Tim and listening and hearing his... So that energy is bouncing off our stratosphere into his body.
02:00:55.000I don't know about you guys' family situations, but another benefit to having kids young that I didn't really think about is having your parents there to help you.
02:01:21.000Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco upheld a Hawaii law that bans residents from openly carrying firearms without a license that is issued only to those who can show they need the weapon to protect life or property.
02:01:32.000The line in the sand has been crossed.
02:02:06.000Yeah, you have- so, typically they say if you transport large sums of money, or if you have like an active threat against you they know about, but for the most part they'll just deny you.
02:02:15.000And it takes like, what, six months or some ridiculous amount of time?
02:02:18.000Yeah, you have to have receipts that someone's trying to attack you.
02:02:20.000Well, to be fair, the Constitution does say the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
02:02:25.000Only in the instance where the individual has a good reason for having the gun and can prove it to the government.
02:03:31.000Dan9S says, maybe I missed something, but when talking about depression, people need to distinguish between situational depression and clinical depression.
02:03:38.000Clinical depression doesn't just look like crying and hopelessness, it can be anxiety attacks or numbness.
02:03:44.000It can also be someone saying they don't feel like going out, and they're bored and tired, and their legs are sore.
02:03:53.000Yeah, and a lot of people don't realize that.
02:03:56.000Sam Good says, hey bro, I'm a veteran who has deployed.
02:03:59.000I'm also pseudo-liberal slash conservative.
02:04:01.000I see amazing from both sides of the voters on the spectrum, right or left.
02:04:05.000It'll flake both to turn around the world.
02:04:37.000Jeffrey N. Frazier says, Great show, Tim.
02:04:38.000I would like to see you do a segment on TimCast.com with Pierogi from Scammer Payback about the scams that are happening and what can be done to stop them.
02:05:14.000And to the people saying Tom McDonald is a guest, we absolutely would love to, but Tom's a very busy guy, so... Let's see, 2NoSpam says, Julie, I have a cool story, WRT, Julie.
02:05:29.000About two years ago, I bought a signed copy of her book, Nobody Knows How to Make a Pizza, was quite amazed that she took time to write a note.
02:05:55.000Aura Carina says, as a single father of a little girl in elementary school, I find it weird that I'm the youngest father around and I'm in my 30s.

02:06:53.000Recently I did a segment with Jack Murphy where, like, I went off.
02:06:56.000We were talking about whether or not you should, like, what you should do in the event of a mugging, and I was very much like, I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
02:07:04.000And if people were armed and could defend themselves, we wouldn't have these criminals in the first place, so it gets a little spicy.

02:08:14.000Or, you know, the good, the millions of American gun owners who don't commit crimes with their weapons and the government comes and says, yeah, we want to take your gun away from you because some crazy guy did something.
