Riots erupt in Minneapolis after a police officer shoots and kills a black man, and a judge refuses to allow a jury to be seated in the city because one of the jurors lives in the same suburb where the case is taking place. What will happen with the DA's case against the cop who fired the gun that killed the black man? Plus, we talk about the new Disney Plus show, Captain Falcon, and Winter Soldier. And we have a special guest, Phil Labonte of the metal band All That Remains.
00:00:49.000the criminal trial of Derek Chauvin is still underway and if you're actually following the
00:01:04.000trial watching the live streams you'd probably know it's not going that well for the prosecution
00:01:10.000If this is their case, and they're basically wrapping up at this point, and we're gonna move to the defense's case, I would say Murder 2 is absolutely out the window, but we will see.
00:01:19.000In the meantime, riots erupted across Minneapolis yesterday because of another police shooting, and this one is where things get really interesting.
00:01:27.000There's a guy who was shot and killed.
00:01:29.000The female officer was trying to plot a taser.
00:01:32.000You can hear her say in the body camera footage, taser, taser, taser.
00:01:45.000So this is where things start getting complicated because the judge has refused to sequester the jury while one of the jurors actually lives in this suburb.
00:01:54.000I can't imagine this is going to be a fair trial but we'll see how this turns out and I think we really got to get into The merits of what happened with this new shooting because Minneapolis is a- is a- is a- is hot, okay?
00:02:03.000You've got people who are ready to riot, who want to riot, and people who want to exploit that in loot, and then this happens?
00:02:08.000There's a lot to go over in terms of justification.
00:04:06.000We wanna inspire people, inspire young people about just being good people, getting away from this weird cultist, you know, cult woke stuff, doing normal content, speaking truth to power in the real way.
00:06:09.000Some looters exploit the whole system.
00:06:11.000Now, all this is happening in the backdrop of the Chauvin trial, so things are gonna get absolutely nuts.
00:06:16.000Summer is lighting up, and there's a meme going around where it says, how to tell it was Summer, 1990s, and it's the guy holding up Punxsutawney Phil or whatever that groundhog's name is.
00:06:25.000And says 2020 and it shows a dude standing in a car with his fist up and there's fires all around him.
00:06:31.000We know that it's getting warm outside because the riots are going to start.
00:06:34.000And if these cops think that any one of these extremists that are going around burning down the city are going to give them an inch, they're insane.
00:06:41.000I think this lady cop is going to go to jail.
00:06:43.000They're going to try and charge her with whatever they can.
00:06:44.000They might even get her on murder three.
00:07:14.000You know, you hear stories about, you know, police looking for or they're talking about Defund the police, and honestly, police probably need more funding for training.
00:07:28.000If you are given the power over life and death of citizens, if you are going to be given a firearm to go out in the community and stuff, you want your police officers to have as much training as possible.
00:07:42.000You probably should roll back legislation because you don't want police doing all the jobs that they're supposed to do.
00:07:48.000I understand that being a police officer is hard.
00:07:50.000I'm not like a, you know, an ACAB dude at all.
00:07:54.000But that doesn't mean that we have to make exceptions for when they make mistakes.
00:08:01.000You have to be held to account when you make a mistake and that negligence cost a man his life.
00:08:06.000For nothing because he was like we talked earlier the reason that he had a full layers of this thing right now You're gonna go right for it.
00:08:14.000I mean, you know, I'm a big 2a guy So, you know the the the reason that he had a warrant was because he was carrying a gun in violation of state law But in my opinion, there shouldn't be a state law regarding carrying a gun.
00:09:18.000If he didn't listen, so like, I guess where we're going with this is he shouldn't have received any warrant or charges simply because he had a gun.
00:09:25.000But if he didn't resist and he just put his hands behind his back on two misdemeanors, then a gun rights group or someone could have advocated for his right to bear arms.
00:10:22.000That being said, you shouldn't have to have so many interactions with the police.
00:10:26.000You shouldn't have to worry about, I had a gun.
00:10:29.000And the police are going to take me to jail for it, you know, just for possession, possessing a gun.
00:10:33.000So I say, when I say never say never about resisting, I'm not talking about, you know, a cop says, look, you got a warrant, you're under arrest.
00:10:39.000I, the reason I say that is because like, there might be a cop committing a crime, legit.
00:10:52.000If you're trying to get in a physical fight.
00:10:55.000Smart people, you know, you keep your mouth shut, you just remain silent, put your hands behind your back, you call a lawyer as soon as you can, and you've got to fight in the system.
00:11:04.000The right to remain silent is a right that is an option, and it's also your absolute best option if you feel that you're in a position where the police are doing something wrong.
00:11:18.000Explain, you know, say, look, I don't consent to any searches.
00:12:21.000I mean, the more intense the situation gets on the ground, the more people are going to click the headlines, the more profit the media will make.
00:12:33.000Like, you'd think the shock content of, like, rioters burn down the city would be the narrative that would generate the most clicks for, like, a suburban family.
00:12:45.000They should be writing headlines that are like, you know, crazy rioters are burning down the city, how long until they come to your house?
00:12:51.000Instead, they're like, peaceful protesters are shopping without permission at night.
00:14:42.000And I'll tell you what really bugs me is I'm seeing conservatives post, this guy, there's one viral Twitter post where he's like, this guy would have robbed you in two seconds because he's got photos of him pointing a gun.
00:14:50.000I'm like, nah, nah, you have a right to bear arms.
00:14:54.000Absolute garbage take that the idea that that that someone can predict that that, oh, this guy would have done this or would have done that.
00:15:04.000There is absolutely no way of knowing it.
00:15:07.000And just because the conservative doesn't like the way the guy looks doesn't mean that the guy doesn't have rights.
00:15:29.000I've gone and I've got videos on my YouTube page that of me at classes training, you know, which if you, I'm going to take one second and steal the spotlight here.
00:15:38.000If you own guns, get training, please.
00:15:41.000Please get training that's it's the best thing and the most responsible thing you can do is know how to properly Use your gun.
00:15:48.000All right, so you were saying before the show you took a police training gun class.
00:15:54.000Yeah, I so I've done First time I ever shot, I went to a range with some other gun people.
00:16:02.000Well, I should say with one guy who was, like, well-versed in guns for a variety of reasons.
00:16:05.000He was a conflict reporter, and he's been in countries where they have full-auto just rampaging about.
00:16:09.000So, that's where he gave me some basic instruction.
00:16:12.000I wouldn't say it was, like, a legit training, but I actually did do an interview with a police trainer and went through the full police training.
00:16:21.000They're going over all this basic stuff.
00:16:22.000They're talking about, you know, a good shoot, a bad shoot, things like that.
00:16:25.000And then they allowed us to just sit in on it.
00:16:27.000And then afterwards, we went to their range, and they walked me through the use of, like, all these different guns, down from, like, starting with, like, a .22 handgun, like, really easy for someone who's never shot before.
00:16:36.000Even though I had, and then up to... I can't remember what the highest caliber they had was.
00:16:40.000You said, what did you think it was, like, a 10mm?
00:17:26.000And how to draw your gun and keep your finger off the trigger while you're drawing it.
00:17:31.000Because one of the things that happens too frequently is people grab their gun This is something we were talking about just before the show.
00:17:53.000Those things are, like you said, those are training issues where if you have a firearm with a safety on it, again, if you train, pulling a firearm with a safety and turning the safety off, it doesn't make it, it doesn't take any more time.
00:18:07.000You don't have a, you're not a slower, you know, it's not slower to get the gun out and stuff.
00:19:48.000It is first world problems that you have to go to court.
00:19:51.000And go through a justice system, as opposed to getting your ass handed to you.
00:19:55.000Or just being locked up and thrown away the key.
00:19:58.000It's amazing that we're so used to this amazing system that the founding fathers had to die for.
00:20:04.000You might know this better than me, where it's like a certain number of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence lost their fortunes, were killed, their houses were burned to the ground.
00:20:13.000That's what they fought for, to ensure that when we get arrested, we get to go to court.
00:20:17.000They pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
00:20:21.000And many of them died and didn't have anything left to their kids.
00:20:29.000We know about a lot of the founding fathers that survived and stuff, but there were people that signed the declaration that lost everything and died for it.
00:20:37.000And part of that, what they got us was the Bill of Rights, which is the right to a speedy trial, right?
00:20:44.000Quite literally, the right to a trial is that you're going to get arrested, you're gonna go before a judge, and you can ask for a jury of your peers.
00:22:38.000When he did his first video, which got him in trouble, was he wanted to make his dog a Nazi.
00:22:42.000His girlfriend's dog, because it was, you know...
00:22:44.000Uh, the nastiest thing you could think of.
00:22:47.000But he later on, after all of this he's been through, he made a video where the other pug, who was black, he had it raised his fist for black power, and it's hilarious.
00:22:54.000And I gotta admit, the cojones on this guy.
00:22:58.000Going through the courts, they try to lock him in jail, he's laughing, the media smears him, and then he's like, I'll do it again!
00:23:22.000I feel for people when they see like American comedy and they try and pull it off in their own country and get busted by their cheap law enforcement.
00:23:28.000Well, let's talk about the media because you mentioned this a moment ago, Ian.
00:23:33.000When you Google search riots right now, my friends, those of you who are not watching, just listening, we know that riots erupted in Minneapolis.
00:23:44.000The jurors are scared that if they give, I think this was expressed in the trial during jury selection, that if they say not guilty for Chauvin, It's going to say he's going to burn to the ground.
00:23:52.000What you need to understand is it's not just about whether or not Chauvin gets
00:24:46.000Nine hours ago, the Washington Post, headline, data about the Capitol rioters serves another blow to the white working class Trump supporter narrative.
00:25:25.000He's very bad, and people cannot forget that he is a very bad orange man.
00:25:32.000How is it that Google, 17 million results, the top post, it's data about the Capitol, and then underneath it, people also searched for riots in Minnesota?
00:25:51.000It's ridiculous that you have to specify in the, it is ridiculous that you have to specify what riots when it comes to a news, like which ones, which has it been, is the ones that have been going on in Portland?
00:26:04.000Is it the one that happened at the Capitol?
00:28:18.000I've got like four out of the past five videos about the Chauvin trial because this is the big impact, it's where the news is going, it's what's important.
00:28:39.000People want to know what's happening and what do you think about it.
00:28:41.000So for people who come to me, they're like, Tim, tell me what you think about this because most people already know what's going on.
00:28:47.000You've seen the news article yourself, you talk to your friends about it, you go online to find commentary to maybe think of something or hear something you didn't think of yourself.
00:31:04.000We know that Google has a news source ranking where they, like, I think a bunch of conservative outlets don't appear in search, particularly Breitbart.
00:31:16.000saw this leaked actually I think it was like Veritas or somebody leaked where
00:31:19.000it's like here's the Google blacklist of all the websites they don't allow to
00:31:23.000appear in search or are limited for a while even my YouTube channels were and
00:31:26.000then it wasn't until on this show I said hey my channels are blacklist they
00:31:30.000removed it so I'm like Google must be listening they're listening but this is
00:31:34.000what's happening Google you know I think it is I think it's like a toilet being flushed and like all the turds are being swirled towards the middle.
00:31:41.000So what happens is Google, I believe genuinely and from their own bias, I'm not saying they're not doing things wrong.
00:31:48.000I think they think they're genuinely doing the right thing.
00:31:50.000They're like, we got to get rid of this fake news.
00:31:52.000Let's make sure we only prop up, you know, CNN, Washington Post, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, et cetera, New York Times.
00:32:02.000So they're like, just make Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
00:32:06.000So when we're three months out from the Capitol riots or protests or insurrection, whatever you want to call it, they're still doing it because here's what happens.
00:32:16.000Like many of the grifters, the people who are all about just pandering to the tribe, the news outlets built up an audience of angry establishment Democrats and leftists.
00:32:28.000If they come out now and say something, they're worried they will lose money.
00:32:34.000I've been in these editorial meetings.
00:32:36.000I imagine they all sit down at the table, and there's someone on the phone, some editor, some boss, and they're like, OK, so what are the stories that we got?
00:32:42.000And they're like, well, we had those riots yesterday in Minnesota, and they're like, Well, you know, um... We haven't gotten a resolution yet.
00:32:56.000And what you don't hear in the actual words, what underlines this, is the boss going, If we talk about the Minnesota stuff, we're gonna piss off a lot of our subscribers and lose money.
00:33:14.000Yeah, I mean that seems like a reasonable take.
00:33:17.000Especially considering a lot of the more progressive news outlets are run by people that are not as interested in progressive issues as they are in the bottom line.
00:33:33.000You know, when siding with your audience is the primary driver, you know, you don't want to focus on things that will upset them or drive them away.
00:33:46.000Do you think they were like, well, there were riots, so let's write a story with that flash word in it?
00:33:52.000And then so they said, OK, we've got to write a story about riots because riots are popular right now.
00:33:56.000There's going to be a lot of riot search results.
00:33:57.000So then they pick the the most trashiest riot and they're like, let's write about the January 6th.
00:34:02.000Or is it just I've been writing about that crap anyway?
00:34:05.000I hadn't thought about that, but maybe they do.
00:34:09.000I would I think that I would look in the next couple of days to see what happens.
00:34:16.000If there are a lot, or if there continue to be, because they didn't know that there were going to be riots today, two days ago, and some of the stuff that Tim was pulling up was from, you know, yesterday or the day before or whatever.
00:34:28.000The riots have started off today, I believe, or at least the ones in Minnesota because of the cops' bad shoot.
00:34:43.000This is just me pulling up two progressive sources, then MSNBC and Fox News, to see what they're talking about, and it's exactly as I thought.
00:36:38.000Yamiche Alcindor, Dante writes shooting is a recurring nightmare for black Americans.
00:36:43.000That's exactly what I thought it was going to be.
00:36:45.000I thought the progressive outlets would probably blurb this somewhere but not really talk about it, and the big networks were going to choose their position.
00:36:54.000Fox News, this is bad, prepare for violence.
00:36:58.000MSNBC, it's a nightmare what's happening.
00:37:00.000Not referencing the nightmare for everybody else as their city burns.
00:37:25.000People don't know... People that aren't involved in the gun world at all, they don't know how people that are involved in the gun world think.
00:37:38.000I was going to say, conservatives, I think, who are more concerned about Black Lives Matter and rioting, are going to be less pro-2A.
00:37:46.000Libertarians, who are very, very staunchly pro-2A, and not big L libertarians, just libertarian in general, are going to look at this and be much more about gun rights.
00:37:53.000Yeah, if you're pro-2A, especially if you're a younger person that's pro-2A, the idea of being exclusionary when it comes to your pro-Second Amendment attitude, that is old person stuff.
00:38:38.000If you, if you tell me that this dude, you know, in, in, uh, Dante Wright was a violent criminal who should be in prison and all that stuff.
00:38:47.000I'm like, I don't think you're actually pro too.
00:38:57.000He shouldn't have been an issue in the first place.
00:38:59.000So, and we'll just reiterate this point, because for this segment, Daunte Wright should have just been arrested, he should have put his hands behind his back, and then someone could have advocated for him.
00:39:11.000Because then they would have been like, is the only thing he's being charged with is that he was carrying a gun?
00:39:15.000I'm pretty sure the Second Amendment says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
00:40:06.000Yeah, I think I disagree with the riots.
00:40:08.000I think the lockdowns at this point are proving to be have been mistakes.
00:40:13.000We should have done, I think, what they call the surgical strike, where it's like, protect the elderly, protect the vulnerable, and then have, like, limited restrictions.
00:40:24.000They run this segment that goes viral where they're like, Texas and Florida see their COVID cases going down below the national average, whereas stricter states like New York and California see their cases rising.
00:40:48.000Well, I mean, the government has had such a bad reaction to, or bad policy, whatever you want to call it, to COVID since the beginning.
00:40:57.000I'm still of the opinion that they proved themselves to be unreliable and not worth trusting when they were telling people not to wear masks and then did the complete reversal.
00:41:10.000Especially seeing as it seems to me, if I understand correctly, the reason they were telling people not to wear masks was because they were concerned about whether or not people in the medical field would have enough.
00:41:22.000They're literally lying to the American people about things they believe would be helpful because essentially it was triage, you know?
00:41:32.000He said, like, we just want to make sure the medical community got their masks.
00:41:34.000So I don't trust the government at all.
00:41:36.000You know, I'm kind of, look, I'm middle of the road, right?
00:41:40.000I gotta say, the things that I find bothersome are you've got a lot of tribalistically pro-vax people taking their selfies and like gloating and smiling.
00:41:49.000You get Brian Stelter on CNN saying, why won't Fox News post selfies with their vaccines?
00:41:54.000And I'm like, dude, you're making it worse.
00:43:42.000I just, long story short, because I'm just kind of like, Look, they have new flu shots every year.
00:43:49.000And again, I know the flu is not nearly... COVID's worse.
00:43:53.000I think that the mortality is like double or triple.
00:43:56.000But, like, I don't go to Walgreens and, like, take pictures and, like, dance around and, like, all the meme stuff we thought in the hospital.
00:44:04.000I've always been rather anti-establishment and, I guess, to a certain degree, punk rock.
00:44:09.000I just, I cringe at this, like, we're all holding hands under the rainbow and going to the doctor and posting these selfies.
00:44:16.000I mean, look, it's bad that people have lost their lives and have lost their, you know, their jobs and their businesses and stuff.
00:44:26.000Um, one of the more first world problems is just the level of cringe has gone through the roof because of COVID.
00:44:34.000The amount of people that are, you know, the, the whole superheroes bowing to doctors picture that, I mean, it's just, I'm, you know, I'm, I'm for, if you, if your doctor says you should get the vaccine, I'm for getting it.
00:45:21.000The weird, the weird thing to me is like, uh, I understand if people are concerned about the vaccine because it's under emergency use authorization.
00:45:30.000So it's not gone through final approval.
00:45:34.000But, you know, I think most of the people that have come through here in the past month have gotten their vaccines and we've like talked about it and they're like, oh yeah, you know, they're like, it's not a big deal.
00:45:45.000I would call it, there's like people who don't trust what's, you know, the vaccine.
00:45:49.000And it's kind of weird to me cause I'm like, I don't know, dude, talk to your doctor.
00:45:51.000I get it, like you're allowed to do what you want, read what you want.
00:45:55.000But I just feel like, the way I've always explained it is, I went to my doctor a year ago and he prescribes me some like crazy, you know, I don't even know what it's called.
00:46:03.000And I'm like, it's like this weird long word and I'm like, sounds good to me!
00:46:07.000And now people are like, all of a sudden, I'm concerned about this.
00:46:09.000I'm like, dude, I think the vaccine passport stuff goes over the top.
00:46:29.000CDC director says Michigan needs to shut down again amid rising coronavirus cases and will not be able to vaccinate its way out of a fourth spike.
00:46:46.000When they come back out, and they're like, oh, even if you get the vaccine, we're still shutting the state down.
00:46:51.000I'm like, what am I supposed to tell people?
00:46:53.000If I can't go outside, why don't I get the vaccine?
00:46:56.000If you're telling me I can't go out, I can't go to the store, all right, well, once we start reopening, I'll call my doctor and say, what do you think?
00:47:09.000But if they were like, we're going to reopen everything and, you know, it's easier if you get your vaccine, then I'll be like, all right, cool.
00:47:14.000You know, we're getting back to the movie theaters and all that stuff.
00:47:30.000Again, it comes back to the mistrust of, or at least for me, it comes back to the mistrust of government because they've had such a bad, even if it's just messaging, the messaging has been It's so just abhorrently terrible, just disgusting.
00:47:44.000And you're going to have people that don't trust what they're saying.
00:47:49.000I don't feel like I should be expected to know what to do.
00:48:07.000I have to go by what I read and by what I hear.
00:48:09.000And if you're only going by what you read and what you hear, you're literally basing your opinion on someone else's opinion.
00:48:17.000You know, you're saying, this guy I trust, and this is what I've heard from this guy, and so when it gets to people on, you know, on Twitter being, you know, rude and stuff like that, or having the, you know, acting like they're so much better than other people because they're like, oh, this is what I believe, and you are so dumb for taking the vaccine because all the stuff that goes in there, or you're so dumb for not taking the vaccine because, what do you know?
00:48:40.000You work at the Pretzel Place in the mall.
00:48:44.000Shut your face, you know, like you know, I love it's like Your doctor could literally prescribe you like frazzle basil BAM shove it up your ass Yeah, and people are like you got it doc.
00:48:55.000Yeah, I'm like it's between you and your doctor, man I don't want to know about and then because their doctor recommended it They're gonna talk to you like you're a moron cuz you're not taking the suppository right now You can also get a second opinion.
00:49:07.000That's a big part of the medical industry.
00:49:08.000In fact, you're often encouraged to... Not on Twitter.
00:49:12.000You're entitled to one and you get banned.
00:49:13.000If a doctor tells you something and you question it, that's your right.
00:49:16.000And you also have the right to then a second and maybe a third opinion and to look to other doctors.
00:49:20.000And you should be researching, if you're going to stick stuff in your body, what you're doing with it.
00:49:25.000I'm just mad at Fauci because he has been the biggest discouraging factor in all of this.
00:49:35.000I just came from Texas and there are still some of the larger chain stores, like Walmart, you still have to wear a mask and stuff.
00:49:42.000But smaller places and smaller businesses, people don't wear them and you don't see a lot of people.
00:49:50.000Freaking out and I think there's there might be something to the idea that you know, Texas is you know hitting 80s and 90s now So people are outside and and not cooped up and maybe that does have something to do with it But again, that's what the hell what the hell do I know?
00:50:04.000I I sing in a band I can only go by what I'm what I'm seeing, you know, yeah, Florida, Texas are warm.
00:50:09.000So it could be Yeah, well, it could be you're outside, you're less likely to transmit, perhaps.
00:50:41.000The worst thing about that is just she misunderstands what the role of government is, misunderstands Anything about human liberty, it misunderstands why people are free, thinks that the government gets its power from the existence of the government as opposed to the consent of the governed.
00:51:02.000I mean, just listening to that person go on, I was appalled.
00:51:10.000It was one of the most offensive things that I've heard in ages, and I'm not easily offended.
00:51:16.000Yeah, it's like, they're going to enjoy their freedom anyway, so now's our chance.
00:51:33.000Pentagon scientists reveal a microchip that senses COVID-19 in your body before you show symptoms and a filter that extracts the virus from your blood.
00:51:50.000I can't believe that's an actual story that is being... I mean, I'm surprised that it hasn't been squashed by Google and all the other... 60 Minutes?
00:52:09.000Pentagon scientists working inside a secretive unit set up at the height of the Cold War have created a microchip to be inserted under the skin, which will detect COVID-19 infections.
00:52:28.000Are they shooting lights in your vein like Trump said?
00:52:31.000They're gonna put a bleach The team at DARPA have been working for years on preventing and ending pandemics.
00:52:38.000They assess the issues and come up with ingenious solutions, which at time appears to be more science fiction novel than working in a laboratory.
00:52:45.000One of their recent inventions, they told 60 Minutes on Sunday night, was a microchip which detects COVID infection in an individual before it can become an outbreak.
00:52:54.000The microchip is sure to spark worries among some about a government agency implanting a microchip in a citizen.
00:53:52.000But, like, this stuff has been around for a while, where there's been some kind of microchip embedding, and there's been all the conspiracy theorists.
00:53:58.000And the funny thing is, there's a meme going around because of, I think, Ryan Reynolds, where he posted a vaccine selfie, and he said, upgraded to 5G today.
00:54:07.000Now I'm seeing all of my, like, I'm seeing some of my friends and a bunch of memes where people are like, getting 5G, reception's great.
00:54:14.000And I'm like, I get it, I get it, it's a funny joke.
00:54:16.000But the thing is, the media was desperately trying to tell people, even YouTube was against the rules, they're not putting microchips, there's no microchips, there's no COVID microchips, stop.
00:54:27.000And then it's like, okay, fine, okay, we won't say it's crazy, we know it's crazy, and then Sunday, 60 minutes.
00:54:33.000And it's okay for 60 minutes to do it too.
00:54:38.000This conversation probably got this stream defunded.
00:54:41.000I wouldn't be surprised if we get in trouble for something like this.
00:54:45.000The way YouTube videos are moderated, it's typically some dude in like India or you know China or Mexico and it's outsourced labor where some of these people... Is it really?
00:55:23.000So I actually have, I actually know people at Google, but I have an actual, like, Google rep that I have to constantly message, like, hey, this is demonetized.
00:55:32.000There was, we had two videos on this show, on this channel, where we criticized Ocasio-Cortez.
00:57:05.000And then I submitted for appeal, and they were confirmed demonetized.
00:57:09.000So then I had to contact Google, I'm like, hey, and then it took like a week, and they were like, sorry about this, they're monetized, that wasn't against the rules.
00:57:16.000I'm like, We're criticizing a politician, dude.
00:57:44.000If they cut open your fingertip, and they put like a, it's like a coated neodymium magnet, a small one, and then they sew your fingers up, and when it heals, the magnet vibrates against electromagnetic fields, so it gives you electrosense.
00:58:28.000The problem is, your body rejects foreign objects.
00:58:32.000So for a lot of people, what happens is eventually your fingers just spit them out.
00:58:36.000They just get pushed further and further out.
00:58:37.000So there are some techniques they try doing, they coat it in a material so that your body ignores it.
00:58:42.000Some of the early pioneers of this have had the magnets break in their fingers, and you gotta get them removed, and there's like infection risks.
00:58:48.000And your fingertips are particularly sensitive, so getting them sliced open for the surgery.
01:00:21.000We bought one where it's a band that goes over your head and then there's like a bar that goes onto your forehead and it can detect two different waves, I guess.
01:00:28.000And so there's a reader, an EEG reader on the computer And there was a red and blue line and they're like bouncing randomly.
01:00:37.000And it's like focus and concentration or whatever, I don't know what it means.
01:00:41.000And me and my friend, we put the EEG on and we're like trying to focus and the lines are just random, no matter what.
01:00:49.000No matter what we do, we couldn't get the lines to move, but then we gave it to his sister and she put it on and she could move the red line.
01:00:57.000Like she figured out real quick and like the line would like make the line go up and then she would look at it and the line would go up.
01:01:54.000The interesting thing, the interface that we have today with the internet is limited to most people as their thumbs.
01:02:01.000You know, like you said, you used to have a full keyboard for walking around all the time, then it's gone down to your thumbs.
01:02:09.000If you can manage to just interface with the phone or whatever in your pocket, Without having the slowness of your thumbs and you could just access the existing internet by thinking.
01:02:21.000That's something that I find extremely intriguing and I think would be a very useful thing to have in your day-to-day life.
01:02:30.000I'm not looking to be like, oh I want the internet in my brain or whatever.
01:02:35.000But having that interface that removes my hands Don't you want to download Kung Fu?
01:02:39.000necessity of having my hands do the typing to access the internet that I think is interesting.
01:02:45.000Don't you want to download Kung Fu like in the Matrix?
01:02:48.000I love the idea, I do. But I also think that there is a certain amount of,
01:02:55.000well I mean I suppose they could, you know, eventually if that is possible you could
01:03:10.000So it's not just about, you know, it's funny when people are like in the Matrix, he plugs thing in his brain, he downloads Kung Fu and then he can fight.
01:03:16.000He's like, I know Kung Fu or whatever.
01:03:24.000And then I'll fall over because I'm not flexible enough and I'm not strong enough.
01:03:26.000I just started taking Jiu Jitsu about a month ago and there is a significant learning curve to I don't even know what I'm supposed to do.
01:03:35.000Like for me if I've like right now I'm at I'm basically at a point where if I can pass guard on someone that I'm that I'm rolling with and I'm like okay I feel like I've won.
01:03:44.000I don't know what to do, so not knowing, so having the information there would be cool, and knowing, okay, this is what I'm looking to do, but the actual executing still would take some kind of, you know, some amount of physical work, I think.
01:04:00.000Bro, what if you're actually like a 5'3", morbidly obese dude, plugged into a Neuralink right now because you've always, your whole life, wanted to be a famous heavy metal singer, and you're in the game right now, Well, you know, then hopefully, you know, he never wakes up.
01:04:15.000At least you can say you can enjoy yourself playing a video game.
01:04:17.000Not because, you know, people talk about you get the neural link, you plug in and you're like in Skyrim.
01:04:22.000You're in World of Warcraft or Call of Duty or whatever.
01:04:25.000Yeah, you know, I don't think that, I think with VR headsets and stuff like that, that's not super far away.
01:04:32.000Sensations like smell that you get when you know if you're in a place the the way things smell in a place are
01:04:37.000I don't know that we could reproduce that but nearly possibly could by accessing those those parts of
01:04:44.000your brain and then you go ahead and you know, you put on a VR helmet that for the sound and
01:04:51.000Sight, I mean, you know, I heard that they're actually working on virtual smell by causing electrical stimulation
01:04:58.000Yeah here in your inner ear I tell you, those things, Tinder use would go way down if that stuff was real.
01:05:05.000Right now, we're in a simulation in the real world.
01:05:08.000Phil, you're actually some 23-year-old fat kid, and you're like, I always wanted to be a heavy metal singer, and you're in the game.
01:05:14.000Ian's actually a tech billionaire who's really smart and clean cut, and he's like, I just wanted to be this free-spirited DMT crazy guy in a podcast so bad.
01:05:23.000You're like, I'm schooling these dudes!
01:05:32.000But you know, if it's possible to create a virtual environment where you get to experience that game, how do you know you're not already in it?
01:05:40.000Yeah, I mean, I've heard people talk about the idea that it's a simulation and stuff like that.
01:05:49.000I, I, I, I truly think that Elon Musk is like, is a, I think that he's, he's a probably a pretty good dude who isn't, you know, isn't like the people at Google.
01:06:02.000Yeah, I tweeted, I tweeted, tax the rich, and then all the lefties were like, yeah!
01:06:06.000And then a bunch of conservatives were like, haha, very funny, Tim.
01:06:09.000And then I tweeted, tax the rich, but give all the money to Elon Musk.
01:06:12.000And they're like, okay, now the left's not having it, because they don't like him all that much.
01:06:39.000You know, when people like Bernie, someone like Bernie Sanders criticizes Elon Musk, it really, really rubs me the wrong way because Bernie Sanders has done nothing but live off of other people's money his entire life.
01:08:40.000They're in freefall, their ratings are collapsing.
01:08:43.000And I think what's happening is a lot of people like to say that these media companies Get woke and then go broke. They think vice got woke and
01:08:51.000then went broke. They think these media companies decided one day
01:08:54.000We're gonna be woke. Oh, no, our money's gone Some of them went the other way
01:08:58.000Some of them were going broke and decided to get woke in desperation
01:09:02.000They're like our ratings are dropping. What do we do pander?
01:09:04.000What we pander to I don't know progressives at least we'll make we'll maintain that tumblers
01:10:55.000I'll call you whatever you want, but I will call you very infrequently if I have to remember.
01:11:02.000I remember this, it was funny because it became a thing and some people were like, they were like, I don't know, I've never heard that, we're supposed to remember that?
01:11:09.000And I was like... You ain't gonna forget!
01:11:12.000No, I was just like, I'm sitting there, my eyes half closed, it's like Occupy Walsh, I'm outside, I'm sleeping outside, I'm like, this is the last thing I care about.
01:11:19.000I was like, dude, I will call you whatever you want.
01:11:21.000You can call me Susan if it makes you happy.
01:11:27.000It, like, didn't even occur to me until it started becoming a thing and now the New York Times is writing about it.
01:11:32.000And it's amazing because they mentioned that, like, apparently someone a long time ago tried to make it the pronoun for, like, nondescript individuals, I guess.
01:11:43.000They're saying, like, it's a new thing with young people, you have to respect it, otherwise you're, like, transphobic and all that stuff.
01:11:48.000I'm like, dude, like, a young woman, who identifies as a woman, but calls herself, like, you know, Gord and Gordo and Gordo-self, like, that's not anything to do with, like, transgender anything.
01:12:01.000You know, the idea that there is a significant portion of the trans community that actually does have their own specific pronouns, if I understand correctly, The vast majority of the trans community out there just wants to pass.
01:12:19.000If you're a trans woman, you just want to pass and you want to be called she.
01:12:32.000Again, I'm not interested in demanding that someone go by the pronouns of what they were born as.
01:12:40.000That or what they were assigned at birth at whatever.
01:12:43.000I'm not interested in in messing up someone's day like that.
01:12:47.000And so I think that it's really mostly activists and people that are that are looking to or I think it's mostly activists that are looking to make a specific personalized pronoun or or something that is is If you have pronouns that you need me to use, I'll use them.
01:13:10.000But I'm probably gonna be like, this person is a lot of work to be around.
01:13:15.000I think one of the issues is that there's no way to broach this subject without being accused of being transphobic, because there's actually two different transgender communities, or I should say two different trans perspectives on this.
01:13:28.000There are some prominent trans people who mention that they view gender as binary, hence their transitioning between male or female.
01:13:37.000They'll say there's like degrees in between or something, but for the most part, I think it's like the millennial and older transgender people, some prominent leftists, I'm not going to name them because they've already gotten cancelled several times, but they've pointed out that they believe there's he, she, and if you want to go by they, that's fine.
01:13:53.000What happened was this particular trans woman got cancelled because the younger generation said, you're being transphobic for not respecting neopronouns.
01:14:02.000I'm not going to say who, I'm not going to, I don't want to cause a dragging thing where they're like, look at this video and he called this person and made all these things up.
01:14:09.000So, you know, he said this about this person and they go into a brigade.
01:14:13.000No, I don't want to get involved in that.
01:14:14.000I just want to point out the difference.
01:14:15.000Here's what they say at the New York Times.
01:14:17.000They say, One card explains neopronouns at length.
01:14:20.000In its facts section, it provides a response used often in the neopronoun community.
01:14:25.000When talking to people who claim neopronouns aren't real words, yes, literally every word is made up.
01:14:30.000Neopronouns are real because they carry meaning and are understood by others.
01:14:54.000And like you're saying, part of the usefulness of words is the meaning behind them.
01:14:59.000So the issue becomes, Neo-pronouns just get rid of pronouns in general.
01:15:05.000Because if Ian tells me his pronouns are pre-Prynne, and so instead of saying, you know, he said he was mad at himself, I'd say, Pree said Pree was mad at Prynne's self.
01:15:18.000It's harder to understand what I'm saying and think about it and communicate.
01:15:23.000Maybe they're young people who want to, you know, assert themselves in a conversation.
01:15:27.000But if everyone here gave me a different pronoun, I wouldn't be able to be like,
01:15:31.000oh, I was talking to Ian. Yeah, Priest said that Prince, he was saying he wanted to go
01:15:34.000to the mall because he was mad at himself for not buying his second set of shot glasses.
01:15:39.000Which is part of the point that I made about, I'll say whatever you want me to say for your pronoun,
01:15:45.000but it is difficult to engage with you if you have your own specific pronouns.
01:15:51.000Because there's a certain amount of, you know, when you read, you just, you don't sound out the words.
01:15:58.000You know the word, and so you see the word, you identify it, and you know what it says because you're familiar with the whole word.
01:16:07.000And our brains work like that when it comes to talking, too.
01:16:11.000We don't have to think about the words we're going to use You have to think about the idea and maybe how to articulate it, but you're not thinking about how do I say this.
01:16:21.000If you have a new word in your lexicon, or if there's a special word for a person, you have to really put thought into it so it does become an awkward way of speaking.
01:16:31.000It's like telling you you have four names.
01:16:33.000But now one thing that's happening where the left is getting angry is people started calling themselves, their pronouns are BLM and BLMself.
01:16:39.000So you'd be like, oh, I was talking to Ian.
01:16:41.000BLM said that BLM was mad at BLMself for not buying BLM's second whiskey set.
01:17:04.000Many people who use neopronouns don't just use one set.
01:17:07.000They select a handful and show off their collections on websites like Pronouni.xyz, a site that provides usage examples for neopronouns.
01:17:16.000Users make their own Pronouni pages like this one, which includes z, zem, zer, moon, moon, self, star, star, self, bee, bee, self, and bun, bun, self.
01:17:23.000Sorry if I have too many pronouns, the page creators wrote.
01:18:02.000You're out in public, you see someone you don't like, you smile and you nod.
01:18:06.000Then you go behind closed door and say they smelled like farts, whatever.
01:18:09.000So if someone comes up to me and they're like, these are my protons, but you got it.
01:18:11.000You know, I got, I got no beef, but if I'm not hanging out with you, I'm going to be like, I mean, I, I, I think this, here's why I think it's, it becomes a problem.
01:18:19.000Many states are passing these laws that say your company, these jobs, have to use your pronouns.
01:19:02.000If the New York Times is straight up saying you can use 50 different pronouns, your manager better start doing it.
01:19:07.000So I'm like, okay, let's play that game.
01:19:09.000I encourage people to adopt pronouns that they feel comfortable with and make something of it, I guess.
01:19:17.000I get what you're saying, but I think that that eventually, and probably very quickly, will become detrimental to the actual trans community.
01:19:27.000Because the more difficult you make it for people to navigate polite society, the less interested people will be in being polite.
01:19:39.000They're going to say, well, it's just too much of a pain in the dick.
01:19:42.000So, pardon my French, and they're just going to be like, you know, screw it.
01:19:46.000I'm just going to do, you know, whatever.
01:19:48.000I'm not worried about this person's, you know, blah, blah, blah.
01:19:50.000And then actual people that have transitioned, that genuinely do get their feelings hurt
01:19:57.000if they're misgendered and stuff like that, they're gonna be the people
01:20:24.000I was telling the story about New York.
01:20:26.000When the story first was breaking, it was like a few months after the law was passed, I started exploring what New York City had said in terms of pronouns.
01:20:37.000And so I actually talked, I reached out to some friends.
01:20:39.000I said, I need to find a human rights lawyer, like someone who litigates and like actually understands this and some advocates.
01:20:44.000And there was a lot of confusion, but I spoke with one lawyer who basically said, if you tried gaming the system and making up some ridiculous pronoun, they would laugh you out of court.
01:21:34.000And I said, so what happens if an actual trans person walks up to a judge and the judge says, you're not a woman, and then says, get out of my courtroom?
01:21:41.000That, that opens the door for them to actually suppress transgender rights.
01:21:45.000And that's when the lawyer was like, well, you know, these things, like the general idea from the lawyer was, it's true.
01:22:17.000You know, the 17-year-olds now are gonna be judges in 20 years.
01:22:20.000And the thing is, I don't know that it's actually really excessive.
01:22:26.000I think that things like that story are such a small case.
01:22:31.000Like, there are such a very few people that would want to be... Do you think that it would be more than... Well, I was just gonna... I physically expressed myself while you're talking, just so you know, I'm gonna have a counterpoint, but...
01:22:46.000This is from Tumblr 10 years ago, and it's now in the New York Times.
01:22:48.000It is, but I still don't think that there's a lot of people that would be using their own personalized... I mean, we already talked about the fact that most trans people just want to pass, and they just want to live their life as a trans woman or as a trans man.
01:23:40.000It's a new Disney Plus show, and get well, go broke, baby, because the last rumor report we were covering is that there was this scene in the show It's the Falcon and the Winter Soldier from the Avengers movies.
01:23:51.000They're walking down the street and they're arguing, and it's the Falcon's a black dude and the Winter Soldier's a white dude.
01:24:52.000The rap says, incel Captain America is so perfect.
01:24:55.000We know it's wrong to enjoy the whiny and murderous John Walker on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, but it feels so right.
01:25:02.000I tweeted, the wokeness in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is getting too thick to be enjoyable, because the latest episode was like, Uh, Zemo, who's the bad guy, is like, this lady is a super soldier and now she will be- Oh, spoiler alert.
01:25:21.000The anti-hero guy, Zemo, he says, she will become a supremacist now that she has super soldier, you know, serum in her veins or whatever.
01:25:29.000And it was like, the idea was basically that people who gain power Crave it, and then start believing that they're the only ones who should have power, who can solve the problems.
01:25:38.000And he's like, the Nazis believed it, the Avengers believe it, and now you've got this rogue group of, you know, extremists, globalists, leftists, who kill innocent people to get their way.
01:25:49.000The rap says, let me just read some of this for you.
01:25:51.000John Walker, aka the new Captain America, showed us his true self on the Falcon and Winter Soldier this week in more ways than one.
01:25:58.000The new cap has struggled to feel like he belongs in a world full of gods and aliens and super soldiers, and for good reason.
01:26:04.000He's just a regular soldier the US government decided to name the new Captain America without consulting, so far as we know, any current MCU heroes.
01:26:12.000He hasn't been trained to fight these battles, so of course he's going to get whooped.
01:26:16.000And so we have this new Captain America.
01:26:34.000He can't take orders from these sidekicks.
01:26:37.000Even though they're better than him at everything.
01:26:38.000Even though they actually fought superhuman folks and worse before.
01:26:43.000Even though they have some idea how to operate freely like this, and John Walker doesn't, the show is called The Falcon and Winter Soldier, but this guy thinks it should be the Captain America show.
01:26:51.000For most of the episode, the new Captain America is a huge clown, seething with rage about his numerous inadequacies, like some kind of message board incel wondering when we're finally going to talk about men's rights.
01:27:02.000And then he gets a hold of the final vial of Super Soldier Serum, and he puts that stuff in his body, and he graduates to Captain Clown.
01:27:09.000They say way back in the first Avenger, Captain America, the creator of the original serum said that it amplifies everything that is inside.
01:27:16.000Good becomes great, bad becomes worse.
01:27:18.000Steve Rogers was good becomes great, and it looks like John Walker is the other one.
01:27:24.000He was originally presented as idealistic and excited to help, but he so quickly went from that to being a tool without much of a de-evolution.
01:27:31.000He just was a good guy, and then he was yelling at the real superheroes for being so good at their jobs that they're making him look bad.
01:27:40.000I like seeing this trash person angrily beat down bad guys because he hates them so much, and then tarnish the uniform and the shield by beating a guy to death in front of a crowd of people to get revenge for his injured or dead partner.
01:27:51.000It's disgusting, and it felt so incredibly wrong, and it was absolutely a thrill to watch.
01:28:08.000Because you may be thinking to yourself, wow, Tim, this show certainly has gotten woke, and these woke media outlets are certainly pointing out that Captain America's an incel, and uh-uh-uh-uh, I must stop you there.
01:28:18.000What we're actually getting, if you actually watch the story, if you listen to the words of the characters, is criticism of critical race theory and the woke left.
01:28:27.000First and foremost, the bad guys are globalists.
01:29:22.000Replace Super Soldier with White Privilege.
01:29:26.000And you get a guy who doesn't have it, who is jealous of those who do, who will do anything to have it, who looks in the face of Bucky Barnes and says, it's just so easy for you with your White Privilege!
01:29:37.000And then you have these far leftists who believe they're the only ones who can save anything because they have this power, like the white progressives.
01:29:44.000And it sounds to me like Captain America represents critical race theory, Black Lives Matter, and the woke left, angry at those who have the privilege they want, and they're willing to do anything to get it because they hate those.
01:29:58.000And it's funny that the rap sees that and says, this guy's an incel.
01:30:03.000No, he's a guy who was looking at this world of superheroes that he wasn't a part of and angry at them for what they had and wanted it and said, they don't deserve this.
01:30:59.000So, like, the left was treating it like this great accomplishment, you know, and it was so amazing.
01:31:04.000But it was actually politically nuanced.
01:31:07.000It was a nation with a literal wall around its borders, refusing immigrants and refugees, versus an ethno-supremacist who wanted to take over the world and supply a certain race with weapons.
01:31:18.000And I'm like, that's a nuanced political take.
01:33:07.000They said, a male power fantasy is diehard.
01:33:11.000He's climbing, stepping in glass, got a gun taped to his back, and he's gonna save the day.
01:33:15.000The guy, he's gonna fight back and defeat the terrorists.
01:33:18.000And a woman's power fantasy is the romantic comedy where the woman seems to bumble about, do everything wrong, but the guy ends up falling for her anyway.
01:33:24.000So, you look at WandaVision and it feels like it fits more of the traditional female archetype.
01:33:30.000That she's angry, she's mad at everyone, she gets whatever she wants, she does whatever she wants, she's torturing people, and in the end she's still supposed to be the good guy.
01:33:38.000Well, I mean, I'm not sure if that is the female archetype or not, but it does... Probably just an offensive meme.
01:35:02.000There's not enough high level anything to it.
01:35:05.000I agree about the characters don't matter enough.
01:35:10.000Vision was an integral character from Ultron on.
01:35:17.000And Wanda, again, being the most powerful character in the Marvel Universe, means the stakes are higher.
01:35:25.000We'll see if the Get Woke or Go Broke continues, because with this article from The Wrap, whether my analysis is correct or not, a lot of people just view it as getting woke, and they're not going to want to watch it.
01:35:45.000Because I went and listened to his video on it.
01:35:47.000He's like the progenitor of the rumor, so I don't know if that's true or not, but it was a way to talk about what was going on with the show in general.
01:35:55.000I mean, I'm stoked for Multiverse of Madness.
01:36:23.000It doesn't feel like this impending danger that you feel with a really good hero that's afraid for their life and fighting for their life.
01:36:35.000Then in the background of it, there's just all this cartoon stuff going on in the guise of like CG explosions that are fake, ships that are fake, lasers that aren't real.
01:36:43.000And it's like, man, I play video games.
01:36:45.000I want to be interactive if I'm going to be having that sort of cartoon.
01:36:49.000But we did get a really important point.
01:36:50.000Someone just brought up in the super chat that I just saw.
01:36:53.000There's a scene before the cop pulls up and while they're arguing and Sam and Wintersoul and Bucky are walking and some little kid goes, yo, it's Black Falcon.
01:37:53.000It's the one where Worf's son, Alexander, comes back from the future to try and teach himself how to be a warrior, and there's a point where they don't know it's his future self, and he's telling this kid who's like 10 years old, No one on the Federation starship thinks of you as a human because you look like a Klingon.
01:38:14.000And he's like, and this kid, he goes, that doesn't matter.
01:38:40.000I mean, that's, that's, that was, that was, you know, that's what the, the, the dream of, of Dr. King was, you know, where people were respected for their own humanity.
01:38:52.000And that was, I heard Jim, James Lindsay talking about this, that during the civil rights movement, you didn't see, uh, you know, African-Americans walking around talking about their blackness.
01:39:02.000They were holding signs that said, I am a man.
01:39:05.000And I remember that, yeah, you know, it was an appeal to their humanity.
01:39:10.000It's like, look, I'm a person just like you.
01:39:13.000And that's, I think that seeing the individual is the important way to view people.
01:39:19.000It's not seeing the group that they come from.
01:39:21.000And I remember that famous quote from Dr. King where he said, I have a dream that one day there will be a black superhero who isn't called Black Falcon, he's just the Falcon.
01:40:11.000He should he should definitely face I mean I'm trying I'm being I'm being generous by giving him a trial but you know it should probably be a you know just a quick trial Let's go to Super Chats, everybody!
01:40:27.000If you have not already, do us a solid and smash that like button because, uh, I don't want to get into too much, but there's been a weird thing where, like, we've been, like, likes have been just going away or whatever.
01:40:38.000But, uh, if you do like the show, leave us a like, comment below, because we appreciate it when you, uh, support the show.
01:40:43.000And, uh, go to TimCast.com, become a member.
01:40:46.000We're going to have a great, uh, exclusive members-only segment coming up after.
01:40:50.000We're going to be talking about a convention of states.
01:41:12.000We got Roddy the Rotsky says, Hey Tim, we know your guest on Friday was a CCP mouthpiece, what with his being a contributor on their state news.
01:41:19.000I wanted to at least shout out your work you've done studying China and not just letting him spew propaganda.
01:41:25.000Well, um, you know, I always enjoy having people of different opinions.
01:41:30.000And I certainly had my arguments with what he was saying.
01:41:33.000I think I did like a four minute rant where I was like, here's what China is doing.
01:42:39.000Hey, look, I'm willing to have, you know, whoever.
01:42:42.000So I mean, I mean, if there's nothing wrong with, there's nothing wrong with having, you know, people with bad opinions on it makes for good YouTube videos, you know?
01:43:20.000And it's crazy how Slate actually says, is the, is the defense floundering?
01:43:24.000I was, I was, I was listening, or I was in an exchange today with a, with a young lady that was sure that, uh, Chauvin, you know, was, was guilty.
01:43:42.000And she was just adamant that he was... And I'm like... Let me lay it out.
01:43:48.000We've only heard from the prosecution so far.
01:43:50.000They've had about one or two good days.
01:43:53.000And a good day doesn't mean a great day or a slam-dunk day.
01:43:55.000Even within one of these good days, the defense still got a major slam-dunk, when the medical examiner said, she was asked, if you saw George Floyd in his apartment, You know, and he was dead and you came in.
01:44:50.000Because if he was authorized to use a taser and he didn't, because he wanted to use lesser force, then Murder 2 requires the intent to murder.
01:44:57.000Murder 3 requires the intent to cause harm, which results in death.
01:45:11.000I'm not getting how news media can write articles like, did Tim Pool just commit murder by slamming a brick into a guy's head?
01:45:19.000And that can be the title of the article?
01:45:21.000And of course in the article they're like, no.
01:45:23.000But the title of the article, did this person commit this heinous crime?
01:45:27.000It'll be like, while Tim Pool was nowhere near the man and never had a brick and has nothing to do with this story, we're still questioning whether or not his actions could have ultimately... I mean, just because it's a question mark and the word did doesn't mean that you're not accusing.
01:45:39.000Like, at some point you can't just say something illegal in a video game.
01:46:14.000The question is whether or not you intended to incite violence, not what you said.
01:46:18.000So there's a bit from The Whitest Kids You Know, where he explains, he's like, my lawyers told me that I can't say, and then he says something about the president, I also am told, I can't tell you to come at this point at 7 p.m.
01:46:34.000And like he goes through this, the point is when you watch that, You know it's a comedy show and he's joking and he's not actually intending to incite anything.
01:46:43.000When you watch a political commentator who's routinely said very explicit, you know, things, and then he says, we should all go and do X. Yeah.
01:47:31.000I love, there's this movie with the, I can't remember what it is.
01:47:34.000There used to be a store in Western Massachusetts that was an adult video store.
01:47:41.000And for some reason about zoning or something like that, they couldn't be just an adult video store.
01:47:47.000So they literally were the cup store and they had 51% of the store was styrofoam cups because it was the cheapest thing.
01:47:54.000And the rest was an adult video store.
01:47:56.000I mean, obviously this is back, you know, probably 15, 20 years, maybe 20 years.
01:48:01.000At least, it's over 10 years ago, because I haven't lived in Massachusetts in over a decade, but they used to have, there was one, and it was on Riverdale Road in West Springfield, Massachusetts.
01:48:10.000There's a movie where some dude is trying to buy drugs, and the guy goes, are you a cop?
01:48:14.000Because you've got to tell me if you are.
01:48:34.000If the cop doesn't tell you it's entrapment, dude, you can't go on a stream, say you want to commit a crime, then add in a video game, if they want to prosecute you for it, they will, they probably don't because they don't take it seriously.
01:52:04.000Some people are more responsible than others, but if you're looking for the guilty party, for the people in this blue state, you need only look in the mirror.
01:52:10.000You vote for these laws that criminalize the right to bear arms, and there are so many young black men in these cities, in places like Minneapolis and in Chicago, who are being locked up and having their lives ruined because they want to own a gun, and the Constitution says they can.
01:52:23.000There's so much hazard that goes along with circumventing the second amendment.
01:52:28.000And it's part of the reason why Joe Biden says things like, no amendment is absolute.
01:52:40.000Well, you know, I think that we're pretty absolute about slavery.
01:52:44.000Like that is pretty absolutely out of the question.
01:52:49.000I'm pretty sure we're absolute about that.
01:52:51.000And I'm confident that most people are pretty absolute about the Fourth Amendment when the police are at their house.
01:52:58.000When they come to your house and say that I want to come in without a warrant, or when they pull you over and say I'm going to take your money, Without any kind of warrant or anything like that, you'll be pretty absolute about the Fourth Amendment too.
01:53:10.000The hazard about circumventing amendments is it makes it acceptable to circumvent other amendments.
01:53:18.000People need to understand, you live the Fourth Amendment probably more than any other amendment.
01:54:18.000We say that unreasonable search and seizure is not allowed under the fourth.
01:54:21.000But the cops can get a signed statement from a judge allowing them to enter your home.
01:54:25.000What if there were no laws infringing gun rights, but they could get a signed statement from a judge taking your gun?
01:54:31.000Temporarily for a health check or something.
01:54:33.000If it's a signed statement from a judge, I haven't put a lot of thought to this, so I could probably be swayed either way because I haven't honestly sat down and really mulled over the ramifications, so it's possible that I'm speaking and my opinion would change.
01:54:52.000But if there is a judge that signs the warrant that says that they're going to do that, I think that might be okay.
01:55:05.000My understanding is, maybe they're different, my understanding is red flag laws is they'll go to the judge and say, here's why we believe this to be true, this person's a threat, and the judge will say, okay, then you can temporarily... I don't like it, because some states will have legal recreational marijuana and the federal government's like, It's a schedule one narcotic.
01:55:23.000Not only that, you know, you can, one of the big things about red flags laws that are bad is the possibility of abuse.
01:55:31.000Your family member, you're getting into a fight with your girlfriend or your ex-wife or calls the cops and says, oh, they did this and blah, blah, blah.
01:55:38.000So the cops come and take your property.
01:55:41.000I actually just today heard the story of a guy who left a bad review for his doctor and called his doctor angry about his pain not being managed after his surgery.
01:55:49.000His doctor went to the judge and made it happen.
01:55:54.000I mean, they're just so dangerous because especially in society today where who's so quick to call the police on neighbors and stuff, the less The lower trust the society is, the more necessary the state becomes.
01:56:15.000And as communities get bigger and you have less interaction with people on a personal level, the less trust you will have in your communities.
01:56:25.000And so that means that you will end up with the police being called more frequently.
01:56:28.000I don't know that I have a good answer for your question.
01:56:34.000I was just, it's just a thought, because the fourth amendment, we were like, okay, well, if the judge says so, it's okay, right?
01:56:38.000Yeah, well, I mean... But people are like, red flag laws, nah, so... Yeah, I don't know, so... We got a good super chat here from Kurt Crystal, he says, Tim, I searched riots on Bing, and the top result was Minneapolis, and then Kenosha somehow, after that definitions and encyclopedia listings.
01:58:54.000I think that someone can be very well known in one genre, and if people don't pay attention to that genre, it's just another face in the crowd.
01:59:05.000And that makes sense to me because there are tons of musicians out there that are huge in genres that I don't listen to, that I'm just like, eh.
01:59:15.000I know who the guys in Air Supply are, but not everybody knows who Air Supply is.
01:59:20.000Yeah, so like, I mean, I've met throughout my career tons of people and I'm, oh man, I have one funny story.
01:59:25.000I'm not going to name the actress, but like I was at a bar back when I worked at Vice and my friend introduced me to this very famous actress who I didn't know.
01:59:32.000And I was like, so have you been in anything I would have seen?
01:59:35.000And she like named some movies and I was like, oh, I hated that movie.
01:59:37.000And apparently she's like one of the biggest celebrities and I'm like...
01:59:43.000You know, look, man, I was like, I didn't mean to say it.
02:00:06.000I treat everybody basically the same, I guess.
02:00:08.000I got invited to a bunch of, like, several times now, like, Hollywood celebrity parties with, like, famous mainstream TV show people and movie people.
02:00:18.000And I'm like, legit, thanks for the offer.
02:00:35.000I feel that there's a lot of schmoozing that is supposed to go on in the entertainment industry that myself and people in my band have been very, very bad at.
02:00:49.000There's a lot of bands that get A lot more attention than their numbers would think they deserve because they're friendly with people in the media or friendly with people in the business side of it.
02:01:12.000We were New Englanders, didn't hang out in New York City, we weren't involved in the scene or the business side of it any further than we had to be.
02:01:22.000And I think that that that possibly has been something that has that that would have if we were more schmoozy we would have been able to do even more than we've done and i don't want to downplay what we've done i mean not a lot of bands get to be around for 20 years and and we're super fortunate um but i but it does you know there is truth in the idea that you know networking matters and stuff yeah definitely man
02:03:34.000Granted, it'll be relatively low budget, because... You know what bums me out, man?
02:03:39.000I was talking about this thing on one of my videos today.
02:03:42.000A lot of these people on Substack, for instance, make like a million bucks from writing their articles, and they get like 10,000 people to pay 10 bucks.
02:03:49.000And I'm like, man, why aren't these people doing more?
02:03:54.000Like, you know, Glenn Greenwald leaves The Intercept.
02:04:02.000Make sure more good journalists start getting able to do that job.
02:04:06.000Well, I know I'll do it, but if I had, like, some of the money of these big celebrity dudes and these massive podcasts... You know, you mentioned earlier how... I think that the fact of the matter is, or part of the limitation, is that quality people to work with are not as...
02:04:26.000They're not as as you don't come across them as frequently as you'd like to think I suppose You know, it's like if you've got a lot of money to invest that's one thing but you need someone reliable and creative and You know with a good work ethic that you can invest in.
02:04:42.000Yeah Yeah, it's probably harder to come across then then then we we wish that it was I've found the best people to work with are the people that truly believe in it, and they don't want the money.
02:04:53.000I mean, they'll take the money, and I force them to take the money, but you just got to speak to the soul.
02:06:30.000There's a really funny article, I gotta admit, where it's like, they're talking about this trend of TikTokers talking about, they're calling it like rent hacking, where they're like, here's how you can live for free.
02:06:41.000And it's a woman, she's like, I bought a building, down payment 5%, and then I rented out the first, second floor, and now I don't pay rent.
02:06:52.000That's one of the, that's actually one of the, one of the, uh, Most common ways for people to become, if not wealthy, to save for their retirement and stuff.
02:07:05.000You buy a property and you have people rent it and they pay your mortgage and then you get the, you're not paying the principal and you're also getting the equity in the home.
02:07:18.000It's like, that's how you can build a business or at least make money To save for your retirement so that way you're not relying on the, you know, $2,000 check from Social Security or whatever.
02:07:30.000I'll admit, I think the system is trash.
02:11:37.000Edge of the South says sometimes it's best to keep computers completely offline, especially ones that contain sensitive info or control processes that could cause death or bodily harm if hacked.
02:11:46.000If the computer is your brain, you definitely should keep it offline.
02:13:37.000Yeah, we're coming up with a plan so that now that it's nicer out, we're going to camera up the skate park outside so that we can actually have like a stage set up.
02:13:45.000And then we can be like Friday Night, be like, all right, we're switching to the garage cam, boom, hit the button, and then it's in the garage, you know?
02:19:21.000Yeah, so, I take a lot of heat in the metal blogs because of it, because of my, you know, I am a principled libertarian that, generally a principled libertarian that is not afraid to say, look, people should be free, the government's too big, dropping bombs on poor people in other countries is bad.
02:19:40.000And for some reason, I thought that these wouldn't be all that controversial of takes, but apparently they are, you know?
02:19:49.000And don't forget to add Second Amendment.
02:19:50.000Yeah, you know, I mean, Moulin LeVe, you know, right on my arm, so... Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for hanging out.
