Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - BLM Riots Tear Through Minneapolis, National Guard Deployed w- Phil Labonte

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:49.000 the criminal trial of Derek Chauvin is still underway and if you're actually following the

00:01:04.000 trial watching the live streams you'd probably know it's not going that well for the prosecution

00:01:10.000 If 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.

00:01:19.000 In the meantime, riots erupted across Minneapolis yesterday because of another police shooting, and this one is where things get really interesting.

00:01:27.000 There's a guy who was shot and killed.

00:01:29.000 The female officer was trying to plot a taser. 1.00

00:01:32.000 You can hear her say in the body camera footage, taser, taser, taser. 0.63

00:01:35.000 But she's holding her handgun.

00:01:37.000 She shot him once. 0.89

00:01:38.000 One time he said, holy S, I shot him.

00:01:41.000 Now people are rioting.

00:01:43.000 And a lot of people are looting.

00:01:45.000 So 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.

00:01:54.000 I 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?

00:02:03.000 You'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?

00:02:08.000 There's a lot to go over in terms of justification.

00:02:11.000 What'll happen with this cop?

00:02:12.000 Is she gonna be Chauvin number two? 1.00

00:02:13.000 Honestly, I think she might be.

00:02:15.000 So we'll get into all that.

00:02:16.000 We got a bunch of other fun stories.

00:02:17.000 We're going to talk about the new Disney Plus show, the Marvel show Captain Falcon and Winter Soldier.

00:02:22.000 They're apparently doubling down on the wokeness and everyone's making fun of them.

00:02:25.000 So we'll get into that.

00:02:26.000 And we got a really great guest.

00:02:27.000 We got Phil Labonte of All That Remains.

00:02:29.000 Hello.

00:02:30.000 Do you want to just quick little intro?

00:02:30.000 What's going on, man?

00:02:31.000 You've been here before.

00:02:33.000 I am Phil Labonte.

00:02:34.000 I sing for the heavy metal band All That Remains.

00:02:38.000 We've been a metal band for 20 years.

00:02:42.000 I am active in the Twittersphere.

00:02:46.000 I'm at Phil That Remains.

00:02:48.000 Libertarian?

00:02:50.000 Small L. Like most people. 0.96

00:02:52.000 Most reasonable people.

00:02:54.000 I'm not a Lalbertarian, I guess. 0.67

00:02:55.000 Yes, thank you.

00:02:58.000 Cool, man.

00:02:58.000 Ian's chillin'.

00:02:59.000 Yeah, what's up everybody?

00:03:07.000 Ladies and gentlemen, before we get started, we actually have a new website.

00:03:10.000 I can't believe it.

00:03:11.000 It's up.

00:03:12.000 It's not perfect.

00:03:13.000 It's, you know, just we're working towards getting everything ready to go.

00:03:16.000 And we got to the point where we're like, okay, we want to do this two weeks ago.

00:03:19.000 Let's just put it up.

00:03:20.000 It improves a lot of the bugs we've been having before.

00:03:22.000 It makes everything prettier and more streamlined.

00:03:43.000 We want to make culture.

00:03:45.000 We want to make fun, exciting things.

00:03:46.000 We actually just filmed a vlog the other day with this pro BMX guy, Mike Feeney, who actually finally grunted the grind bar.

00:03:52.000 That's right.

00:03:53.000 The bar we have in the garage, it's not completely built yet, but he actually did a gap to feeble on his bike, and it was amazing.

00:04:00.000 He almost tore down the whole pole barn, which was also very cool, and we filmed all of it.

00:04:04.000 We're going to put that stuff up.

00:04:05.000 That's what we want to do.

00:04:20.000 Don't forget, like, share, subscribe, hit that notification bell.

00:04:24.000 Let's jump into that first story.

00:04:26.000 This one's got me hot, riled up, I'm all angry.

00:04:28.000 Check out this story from Intelligence or NYMEG.

00:04:31.000 Authorities say cop accidentally shot and killed Dante Wright.

00:04:35.000 This is an interesting story.

00:04:37.000 Yesterday, we heard that these cops shot and killed a guy.

00:04:40.000 He got pulled over, so his mom says, because he had air freshener hanging from his rearview mirror.

00:04:46.000 They say that's illegal in Minnesota.

00:04:49.000 When he was pulled over, the mom says she heard on the phone, he was calling her trying

00:04:52.000 to get the insurance information.

00:04:53.000 The cops say, get out of the car.

00:04:55.000 He says, why?

00:04:56.000 And they say, we'll tell you when you get out of the car.

00:04:57.000 Apparently, then the mom gets off the phone, he puts the phone down.

00:05:01.000 Body camera footage finally gets released.

00:05:03.000 It got released today.

00:05:04.000 I guess the cops were very eager to put this out.

00:05:06.000 I guess the cops thought that by putting out this footage, it would calm things down.

00:05:11.000 In my opinion, no.

00:05:13.000 It's only going to make things worse.

00:05:15.000 In the mind of these cops, they're like, see, you have this lady cop, and she's like, she yells, Taser, Taser, Taser. 0.98

00:05:22.000 You've got Dante Wright resisting on camera, trying to jump back in his car and take off, and she's holding her gun.

00:05:28.000 She yells, Taser, three times, shoots him once, and then says, Holy S, I shot him.

00:05:33.000 He drove a little bit, crashed, and then he died in the car.

00:05:36.000 So the cop's saying, look, we genuinely believe it was an accidental discharge, that she was trying to tase him.

00:05:42.000 There's a lot of issues here.

00:05:43.000 First and foremost, Black Lives Matter protests and riots erupted immediately.

00:05:47.000 Then many of these people who had been seen at these rallies started looting stores.

00:05:52.000 I get these people hitting me up on Twitter and they're like, how do you even know those people at Black Lives Matter?

00:05:55.000 And there's like a photo going around of them literally waving a Black Lives Matter flag.

00:05:58.000 I'm like, come on, dude.

00:06:00.000 I'm not trying to besmirch the good name of literally everybody who believes in justice.

00:06:04.000 I'm pointing out, these people are protesting one minute, some of them go off and loot.

00:06:08.000 It just happens.

00:06:09.000 Some looters exploit the whole system.

00:06:11.000 Now, all this is happening in the backdrop of the Chauvin trial, so things are gonna get absolutely nuts.

00:06:16.000 Summer 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.

00:06:25.000 And says 2020 and it shows a dude standing in a car with his fist up and there's fires all around him.

00:06:30.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:06:31.000 We know that it's getting warm outside because the riots are going to start. 0.96

00:06:34.000 And 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. 0.71

00:06:41.000 I think this lady cop is going to go to jail. 1.00

00:06:43.000 They're going to try and charge her with whatever they can. 1.00

00:06:44.000 They might even get her on murder three.

00:06:47.000 We'll break all that down.

00:06:48.000 But, you know, before I go nuts and just rant all that stuff, I want to just throw it to you guys.

00:06:52.000 Like your thoughts immediately on the news coming out of these rides and stuff.

00:06:56.000 Well, I mean, you mentioned that she had an accidental discharge and that was purely negligence.

00:07:05.000 She didn't know what she was doing.

00:07:10.000 The police frequently need more training.

00:07:12.000 Yeah, she panicked.

00:07:14.000 You 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.

00:07:25.000 That's what I've always been saying.

00:07:28.000 If 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.

00:07:42.000 You probably should roll back legislation because you don't want police doing all the jobs that they're supposed to do.

00:07:48.000 I understand that being a police officer is hard.

00:07:50.000 I'm not like a, you know, an ACAB dude at all.

00:07:53.000 And it's a difficult job.

00:07:54.000 But that doesn't mean that we have to make exceptions for when they make mistakes.

00:08:01.000 You have to be held to account when you make a mistake and that negligence cost a man his life.

00:08:06.000 For 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.

00:08:14.000 I 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.

00:08:28.000 I agree This is a sandwich here.

00:08:30.000 We got a libertarian, he shouldn't have resisted, libertarian argument, right?

00:08:35.000 The way I see it is, here's what happens with this guy.

00:08:38.000 He gets pulled over, he didn't realize he had a warrant.

00:08:41.000 Andy Ngo put up the record of what the warrant was all about.

00:08:46.000 They say, he was in possession of a firearm without a permit, and he fled by means other than a vehicle, both misdemeanors.

00:08:46.000 Here's what I think happened.

00:08:54.000 I think this guy got stopped at one point.

00:08:56.000 And he had a Ruger .45 and the cops saw the gun and said, you're under arrest.

00:09:01.000 And he ran and got away.

00:09:03.000 I bet he thought he was clean.

00:09:04.000 He got away.

00:09:06.000 The cops got a warrant for his arrest.

00:09:07.000 So when he gets pulled over, he's thinking like, it's no big deal.

00:09:10.000 Then when they're like, get out of the car.

00:09:12.000 And he's like, what's going on?

00:09:13.000 You're under arrest.

00:09:14.000 Then he's like, I gotta, I gotta flee.

00:09:15.000 I gotta get out of here.

00:09:17.000 He shouldn't have resisted arrest.

00:09:18.000 If 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.

00:09:25.000 But 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.

00:09:34.000 Yeah.

00:09:35.000 You know, you never, you never should resist because it always ends with more, it always escalates to more force.

00:09:42.000 Well, I never say never, but 99.97 times.

00:09:47.000 Your chances of getting shot go up exponentially as soon as you resist.

00:09:53.000 So, fight the fight in the court.

00:09:56.000 You don't fight the police.

00:09:57.000 You're going to lose, and there's always more cops.

00:10:01.000 There are always more cops coming.

00:10:03.000 There's backup coming, and there's backup to backup.

00:10:06.000 I mean, it's like...

00:10:07.000 Like GTA.

00:10:08.000 Eventually the National Guard with tanks come if you kill enough cops in the game, right?

00:10:13.000 So eventually they're gonna come with like the APCs. 0.99

00:10:17.000 You are gonna get shot, killed. 0.98

00:10:19.000 Don't fight the cops. 1.00

00:10:21.000 Fight in court.

00:10:22.000 That being said, you shouldn't have to have so many interactions with the police.

00:10:26.000 You shouldn't have to worry about, I had a gun.

00:10:29.000 And the police are going to take me to jail for it, you know, just for possession, possessing a gun.

00:10:33.000 So 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.

00:10:39.000 I, the reason I say that is because like, there might be a cop committing a crime, legit.

00:10:43.000 And he's like, I'm a cop.

00:10:44.000 I can do what I want.

00:10:45.000 Okay.

00:10:45.000 You know what I mean?

00:10:45.000 That's different.

00:10:46.000 That's why I say never say never.

00:10:47.000 If you get stopped by a cop and he's like, look, I'm arresting you.

00:10:50.000 You're not going to win.

00:10:52.000 Nope.

00:10:52.000 If you're trying to get in a physical fight.

00:10:55.000 Smart 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.

00:11:03.000 It's not easy.

00:11:04.000 The 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.

00:11:18.000 Explain, you know, say, look, I don't consent to any searches.

00:11:21.000 Here's my information.

00:11:23.000 And then you don't have to say anything else if you don't want.

00:11:24.000 They're going to say that you're being uncooperative.

00:11:26.000 They're going to say things to try and intimidate you.

00:11:30.000 They're going to say things to try and make their own job easier.

00:11:33.000 Because that's what it boils down to is they want their job to be easy because most of them look at it as it's just a job.

00:11:39.000 I'm doing my job.

00:11:41.000 Don't make my job harder.

00:11:43.000 But you still aren't obligated to talk to the police.

00:11:46.000 Just don't say anything but don't resist.

00:11:48.000 Now we go to the next layer of this whole thing.

00:11:50.000 The rioting is the worst part about all of it.

00:11:53.000 Well, the dead guy's the worst part about all of it.

00:11:55.000 Then the second worst thing is the rioting.

00:11:57.000 I mean, like, you know, moving beyond that.

00:11:59.000 That's what I should clarify, too.

00:12:01.000 You know, after this instance, we have a bunch of people going around rioting, destroying everything.

00:12:06.000 And for what?

00:12:07.000 For what?

00:12:08.000 Why?

00:12:08.000 Why are they going into a mobile and getting stopped and stealing, twerking in the parking lot as they do it?

00:12:12.000 It's not for justice.

00:12:13.000 No, it's not.

00:12:14.000 But is the media going to come out and be like, opportunist looters are destroying the city?

00:12:18.000 No, because clicks.

00:12:21.000 I 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.

00:12:32.000 This is weird to me, though.

00:12:33.000 Like, 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.

00:12:45.000 They should be writing headlines that are like, you know, crazy rioters are burning down the city, how long until they come to your house?

00:12:51.000 Instead, they're like, peaceful protesters are shopping without permission at night.

00:12:57.000 I got nothing.

00:12:57.000 I don't know what the hell they're thinking.

00:12:59.000 I don't know what they're thinking.

00:13:00.000 I agree with you.

00:13:02.000 The stories themselves, I feel like, are enough to get people to click.

00:13:06.000 I think that the narrative that's being spun by most of your major media outlets is what they believe people want to read.

00:13:18.000 So, like you said, you know, side with the audience.

00:13:21.000 And I think that's what people really want.

00:13:23.000 You said that you searched Riot on Google search?

00:13:26.000 We'll jump to that.

00:13:27.000 That's crazy.

00:13:27.000 But I want to get back on the gun thing.

00:13:29.000 Because like, the one thing that's really pissed me off, I tweeted, this woman should be, this lady cop, send her to jail. 1.00

00:13:35.000 Lock her up. 0.91

00:13:36.000 And it was funny because all these lefties were like, based Tim?

00:13:39.000 Like, is Tim?

00:13:40.000 Like, whoa, hold on, hold on.

00:13:41.000 There's two things I want to say here.

00:13:44.000 I've bought a bunch of guns recently.

00:13:45.000 And every time I go there, there's one very important thing that every gun owner has told me.

00:13:50.000 No matter what happens, you are responsible for what comes out of that barrel.

00:13:53.000 Absolutely.

00:13:54.000 Accident or otherwise.

00:13:55.000 You gotta take responsibility.

00:13:56.000 That's why it is your responsibility to have all of the basic training.

00:14:00.000 Don't point the gun at something unless you intend to destroy it.

00:14:02.000 Keep your finger off the trigger.

00:14:03.000 Guns are always loaded.

00:14:04.000 All of these rules.

00:14:05.000 Now, I get it.

00:14:05.000 This lady, she screwed up.

00:14:07.000 She thought she was going for a Taser. 0.94

00:14:09.000 She yelled Taser, but she was holding her gun. 0.90

00:14:11.000 Heat of the moment, she was panicked.

00:14:12.000 People don't realize that stress.

00:14:14.000 She's still responsible for what comes out of that gun.

00:14:16.000 Absolutely, absolutely.

00:14:17.000 Now here's the other thing, though.

00:14:19.000 Because we were getting into this.

00:14:21.000 I'm extremely pissed about this whole interaction.

00:14:24.000 I don't blame the cops themselves for being like, he's got a warrant, we gotta arrest him.

00:14:27.000 Because they don't necessarily know what this is all about.

00:14:30.000 But, like we mentioned, this guy had a gun.

00:14:34.000 And that was the grounds for him being charged with a crime.

00:14:38.000 What law did he break?

00:14:39.000 The Constitution says shall not be infringed.

00:14:40.000 He didn't rob anybody.

00:14:42.000 And 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.

00:14:50.000 I'm like, nah, nah, you have a right to bear arms.

00:14:53.000 Sorry. 0.95

00:14:54.000 Absolute 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. 0.97

00:15:04.000 There is absolutely no way of knowing it. 0.93

00:15:07.000 And just because the conservative doesn't like the way the guy looks doesn't mean that the guy doesn't have rights.

00:15:15.000 He has rights.

00:15:16.000 For sure.

00:15:17.000 I do think there's like photos of him with like his gun and he's like pointing it at the camera and I'm like, that's cringy.

00:15:22.000 I mean, it's cringy, but I'm, I know that there are pictures of me holding guns out there, you know?

00:15:27.000 I mean, I'm a big 2A guy.

00:15:29.000 I'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.

00:15:38.000 If you own guns, get training, please.

00:15:41.000 Please 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.

00:15:48.000 All right, so you were saying before the show you took a police training gun class.

00:15:52.000 Oh, yeah, it's totally inadequate Absolutely.

00:15:54.000 Yeah, I so I've done First time I ever shot, I went to a range with some other gun people.

00:16:02.000 Well, I should say with one guy who was, like, well-versed in guns for a variety of reasons.

00:16:05.000 He was a conflict reporter, and he's been in countries where they have full-auto just rampaging about.

00:16:09.000 So, that's where he gave me some basic instruction.

00:16:12.000 I 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.

00:16:17.000 It's like a day.

00:16:18.000 It's one day.

00:16:19.000 So I'm, like, sitting in a classroom.

00:16:21.000 They're going over all this basic stuff.

00:16:22.000 They're talking about, you know, a good shoot, a bad shoot, things like that.

00:16:25.000 And then they allowed us to just sit in on it.

00:16:27.000 And 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.

00:16:36.000 Even though I had, and then up to... I can't remember what the highest caliber they had was.

00:16:40.000 You said, what did you think it was, like, a 10mm?

00:16:41.000 It could have been 10mm, yeah.

00:16:43.000 It felt like it was bigger than .45.

00:16:44.000 Some kind of Magnum or something.

00:16:45.000 Something Magnum, probably.

00:16:46.000 And, uh, so I shot all these different guns.

00:16:49.000 And the reason I say it was inadequate is because I'm like, dude, I shot, like, 12 bullets.

00:16:53.000 You know what I mean?

00:16:54.000 And my aim is not good with these things.

00:16:56.000 I was missing everything.

00:16:57.000 Now, long gun's a lot easier to be accurate with.

00:17:00.000 But I'm imagining, like, a lot of these people who went through this were doing it to get some kind of certification.

00:17:04.000 And then you put these people out on the street.

00:17:06.000 Certification's not enough.

00:17:08.000 The big reason to go for training... I mean, just a certification is basic understanding and stuff.

00:17:14.000 The reason you should go for training is so that way you know how to operate the gun should you need to.

00:17:20.000 You learn things like clearing your garment if you're carrying it concealed.

00:17:24.000 Things that are practical.

00:17:26.000 And how to draw your gun and keep your finger off the trigger while you're drawing it.

00:17:31.000 Because one of the things that happens too frequently is people grab their gun This is something we were talking about just before the show.

00:17:42.000 I'm like, what?

00:17:43.000 She had a Glock.

00:17:44.000 I'm pretty sure it was a Glock.

00:17:45.000 And they don't have safeties.

00:17:46.000 And I'm like, I wonder if this whole thing would just be solved if they gave her, like, a Beretta with, like, an actual safety on it.

00:17:51.000 Just click the little safety up.

00:17:53.000 Those 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.

00:18:07.000 You don't have a, you're not a slower, you know, it's not slower to get the gun out and stuff.

00:18:13.000 But it's a training issue.

00:18:14.000 If you have a gun like that, you need to train with it.

00:18:16.000 Training is one of the most important aspects of owning a gun.

00:18:19.000 She's going to be Chauvin number two. 1.00

00:18:21.000 Probably.

00:18:22.000 You should go to a training every year.

00:18:23.000 I'm going this weekend.

00:18:24.000 You should go to one training class a year.

00:18:26.000 I can't drive that point home.

00:18:27.000 Could you argue that the dude got in his car and looked like he was diving for a gun?

00:18:32.000 Yeah, a lot of people... I mean, that's fair.

00:18:34.000 That's probably what she thought.

00:18:34.000 Completely fair.

00:18:35.000 He had a gun... No, no, no, no, no.

00:18:36.000 She was going for a taser. 0.64

00:18:37.000 She said, taser, taser, taser. 1.00

00:18:38.000 No, she thought he was going for a weapon, so that's why she... And she said, taser, taser, taser. 0.61

00:18:43.000 I think it's definitive, like a reasonable person would conclude, she thought she was grabbing her taser, not her gun.

00:18:48.000 But it is fair to conclude they thought he may be going for a weapon because he had... his warrant was for having a weapon.

00:18:55.000 I just, I don't care for that argument.

00:18:57.000 Everybody should have a weapon, because the Constitution says you can.

00:19:00.000 And if you want to change it, you change the Constitution.

00:19:03.000 Yeah, but not everyone should dive for their weapon when they're being detained.

00:19:06.000 Nobody should dive for their weapon at all.

00:19:07.000 Zero people.

00:19:08.000 Exactly.

00:19:09.000 There should be O people diving for their weapon when they're getting detained.

00:19:13.000 Arrested by the police yeah cops pulling you over you're getting arrested you keep your hands visible you obey you 0.51

00:19:18.000 put your hands behind your Back you let them cuff you you keep your mouth shut you

00:19:21.000 deal with it through the courts Well people don't realize when all these people resist

00:19:24.000 arrest, and they're like this is BS, man You can't arrest me dude. This is the good side of things

00:19:29.000 in some countries They just beat you to death right there on the spot in some

00:19:32.000 countries They just put a cap and then they're done in America. Oh,

00:19:36.000 no You have to go and have a lawyer represent you and you get to actually come out and bond.

00:19:40.000 Some places are doing cashless bail now.

00:19:42.000 Literally first world problems.

00:19:43.000 Yeah.

00:19:45.000 As much of a hassle as it is, you're totally right.

00:19:46.000 You are 100% on the money there.

00:19:48.000 It is first world problems that you have to go to court. 0.99

00:19:51.000 And go through a justice system, as opposed to getting your ass handed to you. 0.98

00:19:55.000 Or just being locked up and thrown away the key. 0.96

00:19:58.000 It's amazing that we're so used to this amazing system that the founding fathers had to die for.

00:20:04.000 You 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.

00:20:13.000 That's what they fought for, to ensure that when we get arrested, we get to go to court.

00:20:17.000 They pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.

00:20:21.000 And many of them died and didn't have anything left to their kids.

00:20:26.000 Their houses were burned.

00:20:27.000 Their families were killed.

00:20:29.000 We 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.

00:20:37.000 And part of that, what they got us was the Bill of Rights, which is the right to a speedy trial, right?

00:20:42.000 That's in the fifth, I think, right?

00:20:44.000 Quite 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.

00:20:44.000 It is in the fifth, yeah.

00:20:52.000 It's not easy, and it's not always fair.

00:20:54.000 I think, you know, it's better than, you know, ten guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer.

00:20:58.000 Absolutely.

00:20:59.000 But we strive for that, and it's not easy, and there is injustice.

00:21:02.000 But it's like, dude, you're getting arrested.

00:21:03.000 I'd be like, man, I'm sure glad I'm not in Turkey. 1.00

00:21:05.000 Yeah, really?

00:21:06.000 Or in Chile?

00:21:07.000 I like how you phrase it, you get to go to court.

00:21:09.000 Because in a lot of countries, you're lucky to go to court.

00:21:12.000 You just get beat down.

00:21:13.000 If you don't bribe them, then you suffer.

00:21:16.000 In Turkey, if you're a journalist, they just lock you up and you don't get out. 0.94

00:21:21.000 And then the Saudis come and kill you in the embassy. 0.99

00:21:27.000 So Turkey has the worst laws for journalism.

00:21:30.000 And so I've been there reporting a couple times, and the pro-Turkey people try to justify it, saying, no, no, no, you don't understand.

00:21:36.000 You don't understand.

00:21:38.000 Turkey is really good for journalists.

00:21:40.000 The people who are arrested aren't journalists.

00:21:42.000 They're like activists claiming they're journalists because they have a cell phone.

00:21:45.000 And I'm like, so journalists?

00:21:47.000 Like, sorry, dude, I get it.

00:21:48.000 I get what you're saying.

00:21:49.000 So we see these people out.

00:21:51.000 It's one thing if someone's like, oh, I'm a journalist, and they throw a Molotov cocktail.

00:21:53.000 It's another thing when there's a guy wearing an Antifa sticker is just filming.

00:21:57.000 Push that guy aside.

00:21:58.000 He's allowed to film.

00:21:58.000 It's an act of journalism.

00:22:00.000 But in Turkey, they don't care. 0.97

00:22:01.000 They lock you up.

00:22:02.000 They throw away the key.

00:22:02.000 You don't get a First Amendment.

00:22:03.000 You don't get a Fifth Amendment.

00:22:04.000 You don't get a Second Amendment.

00:22:05.000 You don't even have a First Amendment in countries that allegedly have the freedom of speech. 0.59

00:22:09.000 Like Britain. 0.83

00:22:09.000 You don't have a First Amendment. 0.83

00:22:10.000 In the UK, you can get thrown in jail for bad Facebook posts.

00:22:14.000 In Canada, you can get thrown in jail for saying the wrong thing.

00:22:17.000 In the UK, you could do something like, I don't know, teach your pug to do, like, the Roman salute or something.

00:22:22.000 For instance.

00:22:22.000 And for instance, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:22:23.000 And then they'll lock you up, and then... I love Mark.

00:22:27.000 Then you can teach your other pug, who's actually a black pug, to do the black power fist, and they don't care at all. 0.99

00:22:32.000 Hypothetically, yeah. 0.99

00:22:34.000 I gotta say, for those that aren't familiar, I'm making a reference to Count Dankula.

00:22:37.000 He's the best.

00:22:38.000 When he did his first video, which got him in trouble, was he wanted to make his dog a Nazi.

00:22:42.000 His girlfriend's dog, because it was, you know...

00:22:44.000 Uh, the nastiest thing you could think of. 0.94

00:22:47.000 But 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. 0.99

00:22:54.000 And I gotta admit, the cojones on this guy. 0.98

00:22:58.000 Going 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! 0.94

00:23:04.000 But you know what he knew?

00:23:07.000 He knew they wouldn't arrest him for the black power thing.

00:23:10.000 That was the point.

00:23:11.000 And the video was really good.

00:23:12.000 He's like, oh no, the labor party's coming in to hide the Torah. 0.77

00:23:17.000 I hope he moves to the US. 1.00

00:23:22.000 I 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.

00:23:28.000 Well, let's talk about the media because you mentioned this a moment ago, Ian.

00:23:32.000 Check this out.

00:23:33.000 When you Google search riots right now, my friends, those of you who are not watching, just listening, we know that riots erupted in Minneapolis.

00:23:42.000 We know that people are scared.

00:23:44.000 The 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.

00:23:52.000 What you need to understand is it's not just about whether or not Chauvin gets

00:23:56.000 freed or goes to prison.

00:23:58.000 There's three charges.

00:23:59.000 Chauvin can be acquitted on one, two or three or none.

00:24:03.000 And that means out of all the potential scenarios and everything we've seen, I

00:24:08.000 would be willing to bet you will get a headline that says Derek Chauvin acquitted

00:24:12.000 in the murder of George Floyd.

00:24:14.000 And then it'll say, he was convicted on third degree murder and manslaughter, but acquitted in second degree.

00:24:20.000 And they use the most shocking headline, acquitted in the murder of, because they want you to freak out.

00:24:26.000 With that, the media knows exactly what they're doing, and I can prove it.

00:24:30.000 By simply going- And Google, I gotta say, whatever their system is, whether it's intentional or not, is totally in on it.

00:24:36.000 Right now, there's riots happening in Minneapolis.

00:24:38.000 And guess what story you get when you go to Google and you type in the word, riots.

00:24:43.000 There it is.

00:24:44.000 The first result out of 17 million.

00:24:46.000 Nine hours ago, the Washington Post, headline, data about the Capitol rioters serves another blow to the white working class Trump supporter narrative.

00:24:55.000 What?! !

00:24:57.000 This was three months ago!

00:24:59.000 They need the milk.

00:25:03.000 I mean... We just had riots the other day!

00:25:06.000 Yeah, I mean, there's been riots going on in Portland for... A year.

00:25:11.000 A year, like every night.

00:25:12.000 I've seen stuff about it in the past month, and they're still talking about the Capitol riot.

00:25:17.000 Why?

00:25:18.000 Because the Orange Man is very bad, Ian.

00:25:22.000 Don't you know?

00:25:23.000 Your point is made.

00:25:24.000 The orange man.

00:25:25.000 He's very bad, and people cannot forget that he is a very bad orange man. 1.00

00:25:32.000 How 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?

00:25:41.000 Why would they search for that?

00:25:43.000 Could you imagine being in Minnesota and being like, you're hearing bangs and screaming and you're like, what's happening?

00:25:47.000 So you go on Google and type it in.

00:25:48.000 It's like Capitol riots.

00:25:49.000 You go, I don't care about that!

00:25:51.000 It'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?

00:26:04.000 Is it the one that happened at the Capitol? 0.51

00:26:05.000 Is it the one that's happening? 0.98

00:26:07.000 I mean, that's, that's, it's ridiculous. 0.93

00:26:10.000 Hold on. 0.92

00:26:11.000 You ready for the best part?

00:26:11.000 Sure.

00:26:12.000 I'm not done.

00:26:13.000 Give it to me.

00:26:13.000 I'm not done.

00:26:14.000 Give it to me.

00:26:14.000 The first post, when you search for riots, it's not Black Lives Matter, it's Capitol riots.

00:26:19.000 Then you have people also searched for Newsweek, DW, and National Review talking about Minnesota.

00:26:27.000 But these aren't the results for riots.

00:26:30.000 These are people also searched for riot in Minnesota.

00:26:33.000 Google is letting us know these three results are suggestions not based on the search term riots.

00:26:40.000 And guess what the actual second listing is in the search term riots right now as we literally had riots yesterday.

00:26:48.000 Well, the first one was the Capitol, and the second one is from CNN one hour ago.

00:26:52.000 Trump State Department appointee facing Capitol riot charges released from jail.

00:26:56.000 What's the third?

00:26:57.000 Clear the Capitol, Pence pleaded.

00:26:59.000 What's the fourth? 0.99

00:27:00.000 You're going to die tonight. 0.98

00:27:01.000 Body cam footage shows Capitol riots. 0.99

00:27:05.000 Don't forget.

00:27:06.000 And then, and then, and then, and then, number five, TMZ.

00:27:12.000 Dante, write.

00:27:12.000 Oh, not Newsgarden.

00:27:13.000 TMZ got it right.

00:27:15.000 TMZ.

00:27:15.000 It is the fifth result.

00:27:18.000 Right now, a day after the city was being ransacked and looted and there's tear gas and fires, they're still talking about the Capitol.

00:27:26.000 Three months ago.

00:27:27.000 I love him.

00:27:27.000 that it is fair to point out that this speaks to your point that you've made multiple times

00:27:33.000 about the media loving Donald Trump and losing that the revenue that he generated for them.

00:27:43.000 Because nothing in the past 10 years has gotten clicks like the orange man being very bad.

00:27:50.000 But just, why aren't they cognizant of this fact where they can just say, well, we have to move on?

00:27:56.000 You know, so like, what am I talking about on my main channel, Timcast?

00:28:01.000 Last year, I'm like, Democrats, Republicans, election, election laws, what's happening?

00:28:05.000 All very election-related.

00:28:06.000 And I get people going like, all you do is talk about politics now.

00:28:09.000 You used to talk about cultural issues.

00:28:10.000 I'm like, dude, what's the big thing going on right now?

00:28:13.000 Now, we're outside the election and what am I talking about?

00:28:17.000 Chauvin trial.

00:28:18.000 I'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.

00:28:24.000 I'm not talking about Trump.

00:28:25.000 Trump used to be seriously in like my tags, first word, because like it was always Trump, it was always something with Trump.

00:28:32.000 And even I was like, geez, you know, I'm tired, you know, this guy's sucking up the air.

00:28:36.000 Now, We're in a new space.

00:28:38.000 There's news happening.

00:28:39.000 People want to know what's happening and what do you think about it.

00:28:41.000 So 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.

00:28:47.000 You'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.

00:28:55.000 I do this, right?

00:28:56.000 So now people are going and they're going to Google and type in riots.

00:28:59.000 What's happening?

00:29:00.000 Enter.

00:29:01.000 The fifth search result was TMZ and it was the first talking about Dante Wright.

00:29:07.000 Do you know what the sixth is?

00:29:10.000 Capital rioter, ex NYPD cop stunned.

00:29:12.000 He's being held with inner city criminals.

00:29:13.000 New York Post.

00:29:14.000 It's not just the left.

00:29:15.000 The New York Post is a conservative outlet.

00:29:18.000 They're the ones that broke the Hunter Biden laptop story.

00:29:21.000 Even then, 11 hours ago, Amazing.

00:29:23.000 And you know what's really funny?

00:29:25.000 The next one is about Kenosha.

00:29:27.000 It's remarkable to me that if you search for riots, you are not getting served information about what happened in Minnesota.

00:29:33.000 And it's primarily because many of the big mainstream news sources that dominate search results Ain't talking about it.

00:29:39.000 Do you cross-check DuckDuckGo?

00:29:41.000 Do you search with DuckDuckGo over?

00:29:43.000 No, no.

00:29:43.000 I usually don't even use Google to find stories.

00:29:45.000 I, you know, go through various news sources and I use Twitter and I kind of curate different sources.

00:29:48.000 I can't get it up on my phone.

00:29:49.000 I'm interested to see if you search ride on DuckDuckGo.

00:29:52.000 That's a good point.

00:29:53.000 That's a good point.

00:29:53.000 Let me see if I can... Why can't you get it up on your phone?

00:29:55.000 I don't know how to switch it in my Brave browser on the fly.

00:29:59.000 I'll check into it though.

00:30:01.000 Alright.

00:30:02.000 Maybe Dr. Goh's.

00:30:02.000 I'm not saying... I'm not blaming Google necessarily.

00:30:05.000 Right.

00:30:07.000 So the first result is recent news.

00:30:09.000 Massive riots in Minnesota.

00:30:11.000 Minnesota riots clear the capital.

00:30:13.000 So the first two in recent news on Dr. Goh is Minnesota.

00:30:19.000 So it could be... Hold on.

00:30:20.000 Then we get general riot.

00:30:23.000 Not even news.

00:30:25.000 So after that, it's like, definition of riot, not even news.

00:30:27.000 But let me click news to make sure I'm being absolutely fair.

00:30:29.000 Right, games consensus.

00:30:30.000 Number one, when you go to riots, all DuckDuckGo, massive riots in Minnesota.

00:30:36.000 Click the news tab, the first result, massive Minnesota riots.

00:30:40.000 Massive riots in Minnesota.

00:30:42.000 The second one, several Minnesota businesses looted.

00:30:44.000 The third, clear the Capitol.

00:30:45.000 So they still have some of these stories, but DuckDuckGo is prioritizing better, in my opinion.

00:30:49.000 Could be the Google algorithm is just tainted towards trash bait, you know, flash bait or whatever.

00:30:56.000 Or it could be that Larry and Sergey are political.

00:30:59.000 I mean, those guys run Alphabet.

00:31:00.000 They're basically the owners of Alphabet. 0.98

00:31:02.000 It's the trash bait.

00:31:04.000 We 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.

00:31:13.000 I think Breitbart's, like, omitted.

00:31:16.000 You're talking to me.

00:31:16.000 saw this leaked actually I think it was like Veritas or somebody leaked where

00:31:19.000 it's like here's the Google blacklist of all the websites they don't allow to

00:31:23.000 appear in search or are limited for a while even my YouTube channels were and

00:31:26.000 then it wasn't until on this show I said hey my channels are blacklist they

00:31:30.000 removed it so I'm like Google must be listening they're listening but this is

00:31:34.000 what'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.

00:31:41.000 So what happens is Google, I believe genuinely and from their own bias, I'm not saying they're not doing things wrong.

00:31:48.000 I think they think they're genuinely doing the right thing.

00:31:50.000 They're like, we got to get rid of this fake news.

00:31:52.000 Let's make sure we only prop up, you know, CNN, Washington Post, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, et cetera, New York Times.

00:31:58.000 Those outlets are then suffering.

00:32:00.000 Their ratings are collapsing.

00:32:01.000 Their subscriptions are down.

00:32:02.000 So they're like, just make Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.

00:32:06.000 So 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.

00:32:16.000 Like 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. 0.95

00:32:28.000 If they come out now and say something, they're worried they will lose money.

00:32:32.000 So they're probably sitting there.

00:32:34.000 I've been in these editorial meetings.

00:32:36.000 I 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?

00:32:42.000 And 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.

00:32:49.000 Why don't we hold off on that one?

00:32:51.000 Oh, we can talk about the Capitol!

00:32:52.000 You know, some of these guys are getting resolutions.

00:32:54.000 Capitol's great!

00:32:55.000 Let's talk about the Capitol!

00:32:56.000 And 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.

00:33:09.000 Capitol, now that's money.

00:33:11.000 And that's safer for us.

00:33:12.000 Let's go with that one.

00:33:14.000 Yeah, I mean that seems like a reasonable take.

00:33:17.000 Especially 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.

00:33:33.000 You 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.

00:33:46.000 Do you think they were like, well, there were riots, so let's write a story with that flash word in it?

00:33:52.000 And then so they said, OK, we've got to write a story about riots because riots are popular right now.

00:33:56.000 There's going to be a lot of riot search results.

00:33:57.000 So then they pick the the most trashiest riot and they're like, let's write about the January 6th. 0.97

00:34:02.000 Or is it just I've been writing about that crap anyway? 0.99

00:34:05.000 I hadn't thought about that, but maybe they do. 0.97

00:34:09.000 I would I think that I would look in the next couple of days to see what happens.

00:34:16.000 If 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.

00:34:28.000 The riots have started off today, I believe, or at least the ones in Minnesota because of the cops' bad shoot.

00:34:35.000 Would you like to play a game?

00:34:37.000 Yes.

00:34:38.000 I would.

00:34:38.000 Would you like to play a game?

00:34:39.000 Click here to find out.

00:34:40.000 So I pulled up two progressive sources.

00:34:42.000 Okay.

00:34:43.000 This is not science.

00:34:43.000 This 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.

00:34:52.000 First we have Slate.com.

00:34:53.000 What's their headline story?

00:34:55.000 Inflation is about to look freaky!

00:34:57.000 Slate.com is a leftist publication.

00:35:00.000 You think they'd be talking about something.

00:35:01.000 We got over here a small little, you know, blurb on the left.

00:35:03.000 Is Derek Chauvin's defense flailing?

00:35:05.000 The answer to that question is no, by the way.

00:35:07.000 But, uh, the big story isn't about Minnesota.

00:35:11.000 In fact, I don't even think I see anything on Minnesota.

00:35:13.000 All right, okay.

00:35:14.000 Well, Slate's up the biggest.

00:35:14.000 Let's try Vox.

00:35:16.000 V-O-X. 0.99

00:35:16.000 Vox.com. 0.99

00:35:17.000 Okay.

00:35:18.000 Let's jump over to Vox, and what do we see for the main number one story?

00:35:21.000 The hottest number in conservation is rooted more in politics than science.

00:35:25.000 Why the U.S.

00:35:26.000 egg industry, the Christian right, the Chauvin trial feels momentous, Georgia companies banding together, natural-born citizens, Biden's plan, the bizarre push.

00:35:33.000 Where's the Minnesota riots?

00:35:35.000 Okay, okay, okay.

00:35:36.000 Hold on.

00:35:36.000 Now, Fox News.

00:35:38.000 Now, we know Fox News is gonna be talking about the riots, right?

00:35:41.000 Yeah, Rupert Murdoch.

00:35:42.000 Alright, pull up Fox News.

00:35:43.000 The top story is, City Manager Fired for Demanding Due Process for Cop in Deadly Shooting.

00:35:49.000 Mayor Takes Control of Police.

00:35:51.000 Okay, so we got Dante Wright from Fox News.

00:35:53.000 It's actually... I wouldn't say it's Wright-biased, but they're just saying the cop demands due process and got fired.

00:36:00.000 That's fairly neutral, but they are talking about it, and they're talking about it in a positive light, right?

00:36:04.000 I mean, sort of.

00:36:05.000 You think it's a little biased?

00:36:06.000 No, it's just that nowadays the Constitution is a right-leaning issue. 0.98

00:36:11.000 The left doesn't give a crap about the Constitution. 0.98

00:36:16.000 All right. 0.97

00:36:16.000 Well, just below this on the front page of Fox News. 0.97

00:36:19.000 Bracing for violence.

00:36:20.000 Live updates.

00:36:21.000 Curfews in effect across Minnesota.

00:36:23.000 Crowds swarm NYC streets.

00:36:26.000 Alright, well, the two progressive sources weren't talking about it at all.

00:36:29.000 Fox News is.

00:36:30.000 Now, what do you think MSNBC has to say?

00:36:33.000 Uh, nothing good.

00:36:35.000 MSNBC, top story.

00:36:38.000 Yamiche Alcindor, Dante writes shooting is a recurring nightmare for black Americans.

00:36:43.000 That's exactly what I thought it was going to be.

00:36:45.000 I 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.

00:36:54.000 Fox News, this is bad, prepare for violence.

00:36:58.000 MSNBC, it's a nightmare what's happening.

00:37:00.000 Not referencing the nightmare for everybody else as their city burns.

00:37:03.000 So, you know what I like to say?

00:37:05.000 I guess one thing I can give credit to what we do here.

00:37:10.000 I tweeted, the cop should be in jail.

00:37:12.000 Like I already said, whatever comes out of that gun, that's your responsibility.

00:37:15.000 I'm not saying murder charges, because that's not going to stick.

00:37:17.000 There was no intent, but she screwed up.

00:37:19.000 And I had a bunch of lefties saying, your followers sure are going to hate this one, Tim.

00:37:22.000 And I'm like, I don't care.

00:37:25.000 People 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.

00:37:34.000 Right.

00:37:35.000 There's... Go ahead.

00:37:37.000 Go ahead.

00:37:38.000 I was going to say, conservatives, I think, who are more concerned about Black Lives Matter and rioting, are going to be less pro-2A. 0.68

00:37:46.000 Libertarians, 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.

00:37:53.000 Yeah, 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.

00:38:09.000 That is FUD talk. 0.88

00:38:11.000 Seriously, that is not what you see when you talk to people that are pro-2A nowadays. 0.90

00:38:19.000 You're saying they want it across the board?

00:38:20.000 It's a very inclusive, inclusive thing.

00:38:23.000 You've got people like Maj Touré and you've got people like Coleon Noir out there, you know, really representing, you know, representing black people that have just as much love for the gun world as anyone else or as any white people do.

00:38:38.000 If 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.

00:38:47.000 I'm like, I don't think you're actually pro too.

00:38:48.000 I think you're just a tribalist.

00:38:50.000 If you say, look, man, he shouldn't have resisted arrest the cop.

00:38:53.000 I understand what happened.

00:38:54.000 I agree.

00:38:54.000 You're right.

00:38:55.000 However, he should be allowed to have his gun.

00:38:57.000 Yeah.

00:38:57.000 He shouldn't have been an issue in the first place.

00:38:59.000 So, 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.

00:39:11.000 Because then they would have been like, is the only thing he's being charged with is that he was carrying a gun?

00:39:15.000 I'm pretty sure the Second Amendment says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

00:39:19.000 What is his crime?

00:39:19.000 And then you sue, he would have had standing to make a challenge, maybe up to the Supreme Court.

00:39:23.000 And then he would have been exonerated, and it would have made the whole country better for everybody.

00:39:28.000 Shouldn't have resisted.

00:39:29.000 He shouldn't have been criminalized in the first place for his right to bear arms.

00:39:33.000 So it's a layered thing, it is.

00:39:34.000 But, you know, long story short, this is what we get from the media.

00:39:37.000 But we do have more riots, so... Don't worry, the riots don't end.

00:39:41.000 Oh, they don't end.

00:39:41.000 Don't worry, guys.

00:39:42.000 Fun doesn't end there.

00:39:44.000 Ooh, more riots.

00:39:45.000 More riots.

00:39:45.000 Riots rock Montreal.

00:39:48.000 COVID-19 lockdown protests turn ugly.

00:39:51.000 OK.

00:39:52.000 I mean, I don't blame them, considering how the country, the federal government up in Canada has been behaving.

00:40:01.000 But it is, I mean, it is fairly impolite to riots.

00:40:03.000 I'm a little surprised.

00:40:04.000 Me too.

00:40:05.000 They're very polite up there.

00:40:06.000 Yeah, I think I disagree with the riots.

00:40:08.000 I think the lockdowns at this point are proving to be have been mistakes.

00:40:13.000 We 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.

00:40:21.000 Yep.

00:40:22.000 Now you got the Today Show.

00:40:24.000 They 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.

00:40:36.000 What could be causing this?

00:40:38.000 It's like, I don't know, but at a certain point, maybe you should be like, we're seeing something here.

00:40:43.000 Fauci gets asked about it.

00:40:44.000 And he's like, I don't know.

00:40:46.000 Okay.

00:40:48.000 Well, 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.

00:40:57.000 I'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.

00:41:10.000 Especially 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.

00:41:22.000 They're literally lying to the American people about things they believe would be helpful because essentially it was triage, you know?

00:41:30.000 Right.

00:41:30.000 Fauci said this.

00:41:31.000 Yeah.

00:41:32.000 He said, like, we just want to make sure the medical community got their masks.

00:41:34.000 So I don't trust the government at all.

00:41:36.000 You know, I'm kind of, look, I'm middle of the road, right?

00:41:40.000 I 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.

00:41:49.000 You get Brian Stelter on CNN saying, why won't Fox News post selfies with their vaccines?

00:41:54.000 And I'm like, dude, you're making it worse.

00:41:57.000 Talk to your doctor.

00:41:58.000 If your doctor recommends it.

00:42:00.000 It really is.

00:42:00.000 go with what your doctor says.

00:42:02.000 I was talking to somebody and they said their doctor actually recommended against it because, you know,

00:42:05.000 wife was pregnant and they were concerned about allergens and things like that.

00:42:08.000 And I'm like, your doctor knows better than anybody.

00:42:09.000 But then there are people who are like mad at me because I'm like, talk to your doctor.

00:42:12.000 And if it's right for you, only your doctor can tell you.

00:42:15.000 And I got tons of friends who are posting vaccine selfies.

00:42:17.000 I roll my eyes, guys, it's like, just, I get it.

00:42:20.000 You got your vaccine, congratulations.

00:42:22.000 Yeah, it's like, it's, I mean, look, they're saying COVID might replace the flu.

00:42:26.000 We know it's more serious than the flu.

00:42:28.000 We know it's infectious.

00:42:29.000 But I get it.

00:42:31.000 I'm not going to go to the doctor and then post selfies and join this tribal crowd. 1.00

00:42:35.000 I think everybody is just trying to play tribal politics on this one.

00:42:37.000 It's really simple.

00:42:38.000 Talk to your doctor.

00:42:39.000 That kind of stuff is just absolute cringe.

00:42:44.000 It's fine if you want to get the vaccine.

00:42:46.000 I'm likely to get one in the next week or two.

00:42:49.000 If I can get one in New Hampshire, I'll be getting one.

00:42:51.000 Do you know which brand you're going to get?

00:42:54.000 Not the one that comes with three blood clots.

00:42:56.000 That was the AstraZeneca one.

00:42:58.000 Dude, I saw this really amazing meme video.

00:43:01.000 It is really funny.

00:43:02.000 It's this dude and he's like, it's him acting all the scenes.

00:43:06.000 It's one of these TikTok meme videos.

00:43:07.000 And he's like, he's playing the patient sitting there like, you know, like lazily.

00:43:11.000 And the doctor, you know, gives him the vaccine.

00:43:14.000 He's like, there you go.

00:43:15.000 You're all set.

00:43:15.000 And then he goes, I've done it.

00:43:17.000 I've collected all five.

00:43:19.000 And then he's like, wait, what do you mean?

00:43:21.000 And he goes, I've gotten the Pfizer, the Moderna, the AstraZeneca, the Johnson and Johnson, and the Sofli or whatever.

00:43:28.000 And then the doctor's like, you need to go to the emergency room.

00:43:31.000 And then he punches the doctor in the face.

00:43:33.000 And he's like, why be immune when you can be invincible?

00:43:36.000 And then a guy runs in, he's a cop.

00:43:38.000 And then he like uses telekinesis on him.

00:43:40.000 It was a great meeting.

00:43:41.000 I wish I remembered the guy's name.

00:43:42.000 It was funny.

00:43:42.000 I just, long story short, because I'm just kind of like, Look, they have new flu shots every year.

00:43:49.000 And again, I know the flu is not nearly... COVID's worse.

00:43:53.000 I think that the mortality is like double or triple.

00:43:56.000 But, 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.

00:44:02.000 It's just... Look, man.

00:44:04.000 I've always been rather anti-establishment and, I guess, to a certain degree, punk rock.

00:44:09.000 I just, I cringe at this, like, we're all holding hands under the rainbow and going to the doctor and posting these selfies.

00:44:16.000 I mean, look, it's bad that people have lost their lives and have lost their, you know, their jobs and their businesses and stuff.

00:44:26.000 Um, one of the more first world problems is just the level of cringe has gone through the roof because of COVID.

00:44:34.000 The 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.

00:44:47.000 I'm going to get it because I will.

00:44:49.000 Do almost anything to get back on tour again, because I miss touring so much.

00:44:52.000 I love playing shows.

00:44:54.000 It's not just my livelihood.

00:44:56.000 I love performing.

00:44:58.000 So if I got to get a vaccine to get on the road again, okay, fine.

00:45:02.000 But man, if I see one more person...

00:45:05.000 Wearing two masks in their their default picture on in their bathroom.

00:45:10.000 Oh, it's just like come on.

00:45:12.000 Come on.

00:45:13.000 These are you know, it's I get that you're that you want to do this, but it's all this this tribal virtue signal stuff.

00:45:19.000 It's just you're gonna vomit.

00:45:21.000 The 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.

00:45:30.000 So it's not gone through final approval.

00:45:31.000 Sure, sure, sure.

00:45:33.000 I'm just like, talk to your doctor.

00:45:34.000 But, 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.

00:45:42.000 And I'm like, what, what's this?

00:45:44.000 It's, I wouldn't call it anti-vax.

00:45:45.000 I would call it, there's like people who don't trust what's, you know, the vaccine.

00:45:49.000 And it's kind of weird to me cause I'm like, I don't know, dude, talk to your doctor.

00:45:51.000 I get it, like you're allowed to do what you want, read what you want.

00:45:55.000 But 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.

00:46:03.000 And I'm like, it's like this weird long word and I'm like, sounds good to me!

00:46:07.000 And now people are like, all of a sudden, I'm concerned about this.

00:46:09.000 I'm like, dude, I think the vaccine passport stuff goes over the top.

00:46:13.000 Very, very, very, very over the top.

00:46:15.000 Yeah, like it's, you know.

00:46:16.000 Yeah.

00:46:17.000 But I think your medical history is your medical history.

00:46:19.000 You talk to your doctor, your doctor tells you what to do.

00:46:21.000 Talk to a bunch of doctors.

00:46:22.000 I think we've beaten a dead horse on this one, but let's do this.

00:46:25.000 You mentioned you want to go back on tour.

00:46:27.000 Absolutely, man.

00:46:28.000 Check this out.

00:46:29.000 CDC 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.

00:46:36.000 Come on, man.

00:46:38.000 I feel like I got people saying, like, Tim's shilling for vaccines, and I'm like, dude, I've gotten a ton of vaccines before.

00:46:43.000 I don't get it.

00:46:44.000 Man, I wanna go back to Flint.

00:46:46.000 When they come back out, and they're like, oh, even if you get the vaccine, we're still shutting the state down.

00:46:51.000 I'm like, what am I supposed to tell people?

00:46:53.000 If I can't go outside, why don't I get the vaccine?

00:46:56.000 If 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?

00:47:02.000 I got food allergies.

00:47:03.000 That was always like the issue for me on this.

00:47:05.000 I'm not, I'm not going to, and I'm 35, man.

00:47:07.000 I'm not in the affected group.

00:47:09.000 But 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.

00:47:14.000 You know, we're getting back to the movie theaters and all that stuff.

00:47:16.000 You're not going to wear a mask.

00:47:17.000 But they're telling me I gotta wear two masks and I can't go outside, but go get it anyway.

00:47:21.000 I'm like, I'm chill.

00:47:22.000 I'll wait.

00:47:22.000 Like, I don't understand.

00:47:23.000 I'm not trying to be a dick. 0.75

00:47:24.000 I'm not trying to be like anti-vax in any way. 0.91

00:47:26.000 I'm just saying, I mean, I got time.

00:47:28.000 You know what I mean?

00:47:29.000 Yeah. 0.69

00:47:30.000 Again, 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.

00:47:44.000 And you're going to have people that don't trust what they're saying.

00:47:49.000 I don't feel like I should be expected to know what to do.

00:47:54.000 I yell at a stick for a living. 1.00

00:47:57.000 I sing in a band.

00:48:00.000 I'm not the guy to ask or to tell you what you should do when it comes to vaccinations.

00:48:06.000 I don't know.

00:48:07.000 I have to go by what I read and by what I hear.

00:48:09.000 And if you're only going by what you read and what you hear, you're literally basing your opinion on someone else's opinion. 0.98

00:48:17.000 You 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? 0.96

00:48:40.000 You work at the Pretzel Place in the mall. 0.99

00:48:44.000 Shut 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. 0.99

00:48:55.000 Yeah, 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. 1.00

00:49:07.000 That's a big part of the medical industry. 0.73

00:49:08.000 In fact, you're often encouraged to... Not on Twitter.

00:49:12.000 You're entitled to one and you get banned.

00:49:13.000 If a doctor tells you something and you question it, that's your right.

00:49:16.000 And you also have the right to then a second and maybe a third opinion and to look to other doctors.

00:49:20.000 And you should be researching, if you're going to stick stuff in your body, what you're doing with it.

00:49:25.000 I'm just mad at Fauci because he has been the biggest discouraging factor in all of this.

00:49:31.000 It's just like, come on, dude.

00:49:33.000 Texas and Florida are doing alright.

00:49:35.000 You know what I mean?

00:49:35.000 I 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.

00:49:42.000 But smaller places and smaller businesses, people don't wear them and you don't see a lot of people.

00:49:50.000 Freaking 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?

00:50:04.000 I I sing in a band I can only go by what I'm what I'm seeing, you know, yeah, Florida, Texas are warm.

00:50:09.000 So it could be Yeah, well, it could be you're outside, you're less likely to transmit, perhaps.

00:50:14.000 But again, not a doctor.

00:50:16.000 Like I said, man, doctors prescribe you some weird stuff.

00:50:19.000 They borrowed a lot of money to be able to do that stuff.

00:50:22.000 Go talk to them and get your insurance company to give them some money so they can pay back their loans.

00:50:27.000 But what's worrying to me is that at a certain point, people are just not going to care anymore.

00:50:31.000 And there was this one thing, I think it was on CNN, where this woman was like, now's our chance to get the vaccine out.

00:50:36.000 Because if we don't- Terrifying.

00:50:38.000 They're like, people are going to go out and do their own thing anyway.

00:50:41.000 Enjoy their freedoms.

00:50:41.000 The 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.

00:51:02.000 I mean, just listening to that person go on, I was appalled.

00:51:10.000 It was one of the most offensive things that I've heard in ages, and I'm not easily offended.

00:51:16.000 Yeah, it's like, they're going to enjoy their freedom anyway, so now's our chance.

00:51:19.000 Like, come on, dude.

00:51:21.000 Well, how about we get into one of the most dangerous stories for YouTube, as it were?

00:51:25.000 Because, hey, if it's in the news, it's in the news.

00:51:28.000 And who am I to judge?

00:51:30.000 We have this story from the Daily Mail.

00:51:31.000 You ready for this one?

00:51:32.000 Let's go.

00:51:33.000 Pentagon 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.

00:51:42.000 Gimme! 0.99

00:51:45.000 I can't believe it when I saw this meme going around.

00:51:48.000 I'm like, that's not real.

00:51:50.000 I 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?

00:52:01.000 It's a 60-minute story.

00:52:02.000 It's a 60-minute story?

00:52:03.000 60-minute story.

00:52:04.000 No... Let me read it.

00:52:07.000 Let me read this.

00:52:09.000 Pentagon 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.

00:52:18.000 It's the mark of the beast!

00:52:19.000 The Pentagon!

00:52:20.000 They're putting robots in you!

00:52:22.000 And a revolutionary filter that can remove the virus from the blood when attached to a dialysis machine.

00:52:27.000 Does it have lights on it?

00:52:28.000 Are they shooting lights in your vein like Trump said?

00:52:31.000 They're gonna put a bleach The team at DARPA have been working for years on preventing and ending pandemics.

00:52:38.000 They assess the issues and come up with ingenious solutions, which at time appears to be more science fiction novel than working in a laboratory.

00:52:45.000 One 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.

00:52:54.000 The microchip is sure to spark worries among some about a government agency implanting a microchip in a citizen.

00:53:01.000 By some, they mean Jesus people.

00:53:03.000 People that are very religious.

00:53:06.000 I'm pretty sure they mean everyone.

00:53:09.000 Except these like, just, I don't know man.

00:53:11.000 Bill Gates is on, is like, yeah, let's do it.

00:53:14.000 I want to put a chip in everyone.

00:53:15.000 Do you remember Verichip?

00:53:17.000 This was like 10 years ago, I think.

00:53:20.000 Vaguely.

00:53:21.000 Vaguely.

00:53:22.000 Refresh my memory.

00:53:22.000 There are RFID chips they would implant in your hand and you could wave it by a door and it would open.

00:53:28.000 And it had your information on it.

00:53:29.000 And the way it works is that the signal emitted from the reader provides enough power for it to bounce back a signal with information.

00:53:37.000 It's brilliant.

00:53:38.000 But when that came out, this is like 2000s, people were freaking out like, this is it!

00:53:41.000 This is the mark of the beast.

00:53:42.000 There are already biohackers that have done that kind of stuff to themselves, though.

00:53:46.000 Totally.

00:53:46.000 Yeah.

00:53:47.000 I mean, there's people who put, like, full, weird, like, Arduinos, like, in their arm. 1.00

00:53:50.000 Your body rejects that stuff.

00:53:52.000 But, 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.

00:53:58.000 And 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.

00:54:06.000 I saw that, yeah.

00:54:07.000 Now 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.

00:54:14.000 And I'm like, I get it, I get it, it's a funny joke.

00:54:16.000 But 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.

00:54:27.000 And then it's like, okay, fine, okay, we won't say it's crazy, we know it's crazy, and then Sunday, 60 minutes.

00:54:33.000 And it's okay for 60 minutes to do it too.

00:54:38.000 This conversation probably got this stream defunded.

00:54:41.000 I wouldn't be surprised if we get in trouble for something like this.

00:54:44.000 Because you know what happens?

00:54:45.000 The 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?

00:54:57.000 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:54:58.000 My understanding is, I'll put it that way just in case, but my understanding is it's outsourced labor because there's so much content.

00:55:05.000 So you get some person who's watching it and they don't understand context.

00:55:09.000 First you get the robots that do it.

00:55:10.000 And the robots are like, I see swears, beep boop boop, demonetized.

00:55:14.000 Then if it escalates, you'll get a review from like a person.

00:55:17.000 And they're gonna be like, oh, microchips, that's conspiracy theory.

00:55:20.000 Boop, boop, demonetized.

00:55:21.000 Not anymore.

00:55:22.000 This happens to me all the time, though.

00:55:23.000 Check it out.

00:55:23.000 So 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.

00:55:32.000 There was, we had two videos on this show, on this channel, where we criticized Ocasio-Cortez.

00:55:38.000 We got demonetized because of it.

00:55:39.000 And they said you violated our policy against being hateful towards an individual.

00:55:43.000 She'll send people to your house. 0.97

00:55:44.000 What?

00:55:45.000 AOC?

00:55:45.000 Yeah, that guy, there was that person that was on Twitter that made a comment critical of AOC and the FBI showed up.

00:55:53.000 What?

00:55:54.000 Really?

00:55:54.000 You didn't hear about this?

00:55:55.000 No.

00:55:55.000 Yeah, I don't remember the guy's name.

00:55:59.000 He was a left-leaning guy and he said something critical and he ended up with someone at the FBI at his house because he criticized AOC.

00:56:10.000 So I don't think that it was AOC.

00:56:12.000 The first thing, well, to be fair, the first story that pops up is actually

00:56:15.000 that they tweeted about something really bad, like causing harm to somebody.

00:56:20.000 Spicy?

00:56:21.000 Uh, yeah.

00:56:22.000 Yeah, I'd say it was spicy.

00:56:24.000 So if you Google search AOC FBI, something I probably can't repeat on YouTube

00:56:31.000 because it's too spicy.

00:56:33.000 Let's not go there.

00:56:33.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:56:34.000 It wasn't just a guy saying, like, AOC, you suck. 0.99

00:56:37.000 It was a guy who said something like, go do a thing to this person, you know what I mean? 1.00

00:56:41.000 Ah, interesting.

00:56:41.000 You see it?

00:56:41.000 You see the story?

00:56:42.000 Somebody was basically calling for harm against AOC.

00:56:46.000 Yeah, I mean, I'm looking at this now.

00:56:49.000 Or is it a different, because the one I saw was from a couple months ago.

00:56:51.000 I feel like it was, no, no, this is, yeah, this is not the one that I'm referring to.

00:56:56.000 So there is a story where a guy was being mean to her.

00:56:58.000 Well, anyway, while you look that up, I'll just finish off this point.

00:57:02.000 They demonetized these stories because we were critical of AOC.

00:57:05.000 Yes!

00:57:05.000 And then I submitted for appeal, and they were confirmed demonetized.

00:57:09.000 So 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.

00:57:16.000 I'm like, We're criticizing a politician, dude.

00:57:19.000 You know?

00:57:19.000 Like, what can we say?

00:57:20.000 Unsettling.

00:57:21.000 In this case, we're talking about microchips that the Pentagon has announced.

00:57:24.000 Yes.

00:57:26.000 On 60 Minutes!

00:57:27.000 60 Minutes, CBS.

00:57:28.000 Is that CBS?

00:57:29.000 That's CBS!

00:57:30.000 Are you gonna get the microchip?

00:57:32.000 I am not going to eat the microchip.

00:57:33.000 I want to know, is it proprietary software?

00:57:36.000 I will get the neodymium magnets in my fingertips.

00:57:39.000 Oh, I am sold!

00:57:41.000 You know about that?

00:57:41.000 No.

00:57:42.000 Do you know about this biohacking thing?

00:57:43.000 No.

00:57:44.000 If 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.

00:57:59.000 What?

00:58:00.000 So you can actually put your hand on a wall and feel where the power cables are.

00:58:04.000 And apparently it feels different.

00:58:08.000 Like it's a new sense.

00:58:09.000 You're like, whoa, I've never felt something like this.

00:58:11.000 Cause what happens is the magnet is pulling and pushing against the nerve from the inside and vibrating.

00:58:16.000 So you can like feel like the EMF waves, the electromagnetic waves coming off of electric objects and devices.

00:58:24.000 I used to put magnets on my... Lydia looks horrified.

00:58:27.000 It's cool, it's cool.

00:58:28.000 The problem is, your body rejects foreign objects.

00:58:32.000 So for a lot of people, what happens is eventually your fingers just spit them out.

00:58:36.000 They just get pushed further and further out.

00:58:37.000 So there are some techniques they try doing, they coat it in a material so that your body ignores it.

00:58:42.000 Some 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.

00:58:48.000 And your fingertips are particularly sensitive, so getting them sliced open for the surgery.

00:58:53.000 Hey, man.

00:58:54.000 But, uh, man, I've always thought that was really cool.

00:58:56.000 Now, microchips.

00:58:57.000 I will get Neuralink.

00:58:59.000 Will you get Neuralink?

00:59:00.000 I don't know that I'll get first gen.

00:59:02.000 Did you see the monkey playing Pong?

00:59:05.000 No.

00:59:05.000 Dude, you've got to look it up.

00:59:07.000 Amazing.

00:59:08.000 And it's at the end of the video.

00:59:09.000 Can we go from being very scared about the government and playing microchips to talking about monkeys playing Pong?

00:59:13.000 He's good at it.

00:59:14.000 He's doing it with his mind.

00:59:15.000 Is it a chimp? 1.00

00:59:16.000 It's a macaw.

00:59:17.000 Yeah.

00:59:18.000 I don't trust the government, but Daddy Elon, I tell you what, there's a totally different kind of deal going on with Elon.

00:59:24.000 He's open sourcing the code and you know what it's tracking and what it's not tracking.

00:59:29.000 He can open source the code, but I'm still relying on someone else to tell me because I can't code.

00:59:33.000 So like, you could be like, oh, you know, look, you can look at the code.

00:59:37.000 It's like people say, oh, you can look at the Bitcoin ledger and see.

00:59:40.000 I'm like, no, you can look at the Bitcoin ledger and see.

00:59:43.000 I can't.

00:59:43.000 That's all German or whatever.

00:59:46.000 Our president speaks English, doesn't speak foreign languages.

00:59:49.000 He relies on an interpreter.

00:59:50.000 The interpreter may as well be the president. 0.94

00:59:51.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:59:52.000 Our president does not speak English.

00:59:57.000 Come on, man!

00:59:58.000 He speaks elderly.

01:00:01.000 I pulled it up.

01:00:01.000 Yes, he did.

01:00:02.000 Elon Musk's company says this monkey is playing Pong with his mind.

01:00:06.000 This video is lit.

01:00:08.000 The monkey planter.

01:00:10.000 She is lit.

01:00:10.000 Do you know what an EEG is?

01:00:13.000 Electroencephalogram.

01:00:14.000 Electroencephalogram, yeah.

01:00:15.000 So you can actually buy them.

01:00:16.000 They've been around for a long, long time.

01:00:18.000 Long time.

01:00:19.000 But there's consumer grade ones.

01:00:20.000 I talked about this before.

01:00:21.000 We 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.

01:00:28.000 And 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.

01:00:37.000 And it's like focus and concentration or whatever, I don't know what it means.

01:00:41.000 And 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.

01:00:48.000 It's actually horny and hungry.

01:00:49.000 No 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.

01:00:57.000 Like 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.

01:01:01.000 Very hungry.

01:01:02.000 Very hungry.

01:01:03.000 That's right.

01:01:03.000 I'm starving.

01:01:04.000 So we were wondering if these two outputs could be used to control a drone so that you have two controls.

01:01:10.000 One is to make it go up and down and the other is to make it rotate.

01:01:14.000 So you couldn't fly it around because you'd need more sensors.

01:01:17.000 Sure.

01:01:18.000 But with just that, instead of a red line on the screen, the drone could be going up and down.

01:01:22.000 So I bring that up because that wasn't invasive.

01:01:25.000 It's a headband you'd put on.

01:01:26.000 You can buy all these things right now.

01:01:28.000 Does the monkey really need to get his brain chipped to be able to play Pong?

01:01:32.000 The answer is no, he doesn't.

01:01:34.000 He does, so that way, eventually, you can wear it in your head and type on your phone without your fingers.

01:01:39.000 Aren't you worried about being turned into the Borg?

01:01:41.000 No.

01:01:42.000 No?

01:01:42.000 No.

01:01:43.000 Why do you want the Neuralink?

01:01:45.000 Because I think that Elon Musk is right about the interface.

01:01:51.000 To me, that's really the...

01:01:54.000 The interesting thing, the interface that we have today with the internet is limited to most people as their thumbs.

01:02:01.000 You 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.

01:02:09.000 If 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.

01:02:21.000 That's something that I find extremely intriguing and I think would be a very useful thing to have in your day-to-day life.

01:02:30.000 I'm not looking to be like, oh I want the internet in my brain or whatever.

01:02:35.000 But having that interface that removes my hands Don't you want to download Kung Fu?

01:02:39.000 necessity of having my hands do the typing to access the internet that I think is interesting.

01:02:45.000 Don't you want to download Kung Fu like in the Matrix?

01:02:48.000 I love the idea, I do. But I also think that there is a certain amount of,

01:02:55.000 well I mean I suppose they could, you know, eventually if that is possible you could

01:03:03.000 download the muscle memory and stuff.

01:03:05.000 Right.

01:03:05.000 You need muscle memory and you need the muscle proteins to actually build up to be able to do half the things.

01:03:09.000 Sure.

01:03:10.000 So 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.

01:03:16.000 He's like, I know Kung Fu or whatever.

01:03:17.000 It's like, well, hold on, hold on.

01:03:19.000 I can watch someone do something and they can explain it to me.

01:03:22.000 And then my brain's like, got it.

01:03:24.000 And then I'll fall over because I'm not flexible enough and I'm not strong enough.

01:03:26.000 I 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.

01:03:35.000 Like 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.

01:03:44.000 I 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.

01:04:00.000 Bro, 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.

01:04:15.000 At least you can say you can enjoy yourself playing a video game.

01:04:17.000 Not because, you know, people talk about you get the neural link, you plug in and you're like in Skyrim.

01:04:22.000 You're in World of Warcraft or Call of Duty or whatever.

01:04:25.000 Yeah, you know, I don't think that, I think with VR headsets and stuff like that, that's not super far away.

01:04:32.000 Sensations like smell that you get when you know if you're in a place the the way things smell in a place are

01:04:37.000 I don't know that we could reproduce that but nearly possibly could by accessing those those parts of

01:04:44.000 your brain and then you go ahead and you know, you put on a VR helmet that for the sound and

01:04:51.000 Sight, I mean, you know, I heard that they're actually working on virtual smell by causing electrical stimulation

01:04:58.000 Yeah here in your inner ear I tell you, those things, Tinder use would go way down if that stuff was real.

01:05:05.000 Right now, we're in a simulation in the real world.

01:05:08.000 Phil, 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.

01:05:14.000 Ian'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. 0.92

01:05:23.000 You're like, I'm schooling these dudes!

01:05:28.000 I'm very hypothetical, obviously.

01:05:32.000 But 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?

01:05:40.000 Yeah, I mean, I've heard people talk about the idea that it's a simulation and stuff like that.

01:05:44.000 Elon Musk talks about it.

01:05:45.000 Yeah.

01:05:45.000 I mean, what if he's trying to break out of the simulation?

01:05:48.000 Well, then I want him to.

01:05:49.000 I, 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.

01:06:02.000 Yeah, I tweeted, I tweeted, tax the rich, and then all the lefties were like, yeah!

01:06:06.000 And then a bunch of conservatives were like, haha, very funny, Tim.

01:06:09.000 And then I tweeted, tax the rich, but give all the money to Elon Musk.

01:06:12.000 And they're like, okay, now the left's not having it, because they don't like him all that much.

01:06:14.000 Yeah, they don't like him at all.

01:06:15.000 They don't like him because he has money, and he's successful, and people on the left are, you know. 0.98

01:06:18.000 Yeah, I was really annoyed when he blasted the Tesla into space, and they're like, this is so dumb! 0.85

01:06:23.000 And I'm like, well, he needed a payload, he needed to wait.

01:06:25.000 And he made something really cool and inspirational for young people, that's legit.

01:06:28.000 Yeah.

01:06:29.000 So I, you know, I'm fine with it.

01:06:31.000 I don't like the idea that you got all these billionaires dumping money into politics.

01:06:35.000 So take it all and just give it to Elon Musk and let him build a spaceship to Mars.

01:06:38.000 I want to see that.

01:06:39.000 You 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.

01:06:53.000 He's produced nothing of value.

01:06:56.000 He wrote a book.

01:06:57.000 Yeah, you're right.

01:06:58.000 And then he made a million dollars off of his book.

01:07:02.000 And then he stopped talking about the millionaires and the billionaires and just started talking about the billionaires.

01:07:08.000 No, no, no.

01:07:08.000 Just the billionaires.

01:07:08.000 He brought them back, though.

01:07:09.000 He brought them back.

01:07:10.000 Did he really?

01:07:10.000 I'm sorry.

01:07:11.000 You were right.

01:07:12.000 You were right.

01:07:12.000 He stopped talking about the millionaires.

01:07:13.000 Yeah.

01:07:14.000 It's just the billionaires that he's got a problem with.

01:07:15.000 But then he brought millionaires back recently.

01:07:17.000 Because if you write a book, you know, then you could maybe make a million dollars.

01:07:20.000 Don't you insult me!

01:07:23.000 I made a million dollars selling my book!

01:07:25.000 At a 37% tax rate, you know.

01:07:26.000 Top margin.

01:07:29.000 Yeah, so it's really funny too.

01:07:30.000 I'm kind of stoked on this.

01:07:30.000 The media's collapsed because there's this big upset.

01:07:34.000 Everyone's angry about Substack.

01:07:36.000 Substack is where writers can charge a fee and write articles.

01:07:41.000 It's really simple.

01:07:43.000 But now you get this high profile individuals leaving their main outlets and just doing Substacks. 0.95

01:07:47.000 They're leaving because the main outlets are garbage.

01:07:50.000 And they're being restricted and they'll make money. 0.78

01:07:52.000 It's like YouTube.

01:07:53.000 I worked for Vice.

01:07:53.000 I worked for Fusion.

01:07:55.000 I loved this.

01:07:56.000 I loved this.

01:07:56.000 There was some New York journalist and they tweeted at me.

01:08:00.000 They tagged me in this.

01:08:00.000 They were like, remember Tim Kast?

01:08:02.000 Man, whatever happened to him?

01:08:03.000 And then someone's like, whatever happened to him?

01:08:05.000 This was like a year and a half ago or two years ago.

01:08:06.000 And they were like, to go from this high-profile six-figure corporate media job to now what?

01:08:12.000 And someone goes like, oh man, his Patreon's only bringing a thousand bucks a month.

01:08:16.000 They're like, wow, that's sad.

01:08:18.000 And I'm like, These people know nothing about what's going on.

01:08:21.000 They live in this bubble where working for the machine is like the ideal.

01:08:25.000 And I left and started a YouTube channel and I was like, I was on Joe Rogan and like doing really well.

01:08:29.000 And I was, you know, business was expanding and exploding and now it's better than ever.

01:08:33.000 And these people just live in that bubble.

01:08:35.000 So now these new thoughts are freaking out because Substack has just taken everything away from them.

01:08:39.000 But I'm glad, I'm glad.

01:08:40.000 They're in freefall, their ratings are collapsing.

01:08:43.000 And 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

01:08:51.000 then went broke. They think these media companies decided one day

01:08:54.000 We're gonna be woke. Oh, no, our money's gone Some of them went the other way

01:08:58.000 Some of them were going broke and decided to get woke in desperation

01:09:02.000 They're like our ratings are dropping. What do we do pander?

01:09:04.000 What we pander to I don't know progressives at least we'll make we'll maintain that tumblers

01:09:10.000 What was that?

01:09:10.000 Tumblr.

01:09:11.000 Yeah.

01:09:12.000 Yeah.

01:09:12.000 We got like, uh, there's a story in the New York times.

01:09:15.000 I don't, I don't think I'll get to, I don't think we need to get too much into this one.

01:09:18.000 Uh, look at this.

01:09:19.000 New York times, uh, writes a guide to Neo pronouns.

01:09:23.000 Are you a person, place or thing?

01:09:25.000 We have good news.

01:09:27.000 Um, we're all persons.

01:09:28.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:09:29.000 Are you a place, Tim?

01:09:30.000 Well, hold on.

01:09:31.000 I'm a place.

01:09:31.000 Are you a thing?

01:09:32.000 So, this image they have.

01:09:33.000 This is the New York Times, mind you.

01:09:35.000 It's an image, and it says... Block the New York Times.

01:09:37.000 Yeah.

01:09:38.000 Pre, prin, prins, and prince self.

01:09:42.000 No.

01:09:44.000 And go F yourself.

01:09:45.000 Well, hold on, hold on, hold on.

01:09:47.000 If someone... There are some limitations.

01:09:50.000 If someone came to me and said, refer to me as your majesty or prince whatever, I'd be like, nah.

01:09:54.000 Would you refer to me as Lord?

01:09:56.000 No.

01:09:56.000 I'm a Scottish Lord.

01:09:57.000 Yes.

01:09:58.000 Lord Ian.

01:09:59.000 10 foot by 10 foot square of land.

01:10:02.000 I'll use whatever preferred pronoun someone wants.

01:10:05.000 I have no intention to be rude.

01:10:08.000 I'm not interested in upsetting people.

01:10:12.000 I'm not interested.

01:10:12.000 And I don't have the desire to be like, no, there's only biological men and biological women and da, da, da, da.

01:10:20.000 Not interested at all.

01:10:23.000 If you have a your own pronoun, you're probably an annoying person anyway, so I don't want to hang out with you. 1.00

01:10:30.000 So if someone came to me and said, I actually, I met someone at Occupy.

01:10:33.000 They said, you know, uh, Z said, refer to me as Z-zer.

01:10:37.000 And I was like, oh, I don't care.

01:10:38.000 Whatever.

01:10:38.000 Sure.

01:10:39.000 I just, you know, I just, I just called by that, by their name.

01:10:41.000 There's some of these people also made up their own names.

01:10:43.000 And I'm like, if you're 25 and you're like, my name is, you know, hamster, you know, hamster friend.

01:10:49.000 I'm like, you sure?

01:10:51.000 I'll call you whatever you want.

01:10:52.000 I'm just like, did I hear you right?

01:10:53.000 All right.

01:10:53.000 You got it.

01:10:54.000 Hamster bro.

01:10:54.000 Exactly.

01:10:55.000 I'll call you whatever you want, but I will call you very infrequently if I have to remember.

01:11:02.000 I 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?

01:11:09.000 And I was like... You ain't gonna forget!

01:11:12.000 No, 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.

01:11:19.000 I was like, dude, I will call you whatever you want.

01:11:21.000 You can call me Susan if it makes you happy.

01:11:22.000 I literally don't care.

01:11:23.000 This is like the last thing on my mind.

01:11:24.000 The cops are blaring their horns right now.

01:11:26.000 I'm gonna go get a cheeseburger.

01:11:27.000 It, like, didn't even occur to me until it started becoming a thing and now the New York Times is writing about it.

01:11:32.000 And 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.

01:11:41.000 And they're, they're, look.

01:11:43.000 They'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.

01:11:48.000 I'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.

01:12:00.000 No.

01:12:01.000 You 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. 0.89

01:12:19.000 If you're a trans woman, you just want to pass and you want to be called she. 0.99

01:12:24.000 I totally respect that.

01:12:25.000 If you're a trans man, you just want to pass. 1.00

01:12:27.000 You want to be called he.

01:12:29.000 Totally respect that.

01:12:30.000 That's totally fine.

01:12:32.000 Again, I'm not interested in demanding that someone go by the pronouns of what they were born as.

01:12:40.000 That or what they were assigned at birth at whatever.

01:12:43.000 I'm not interested in in messing up someone's day like that.

01:12:47.000 And 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.

01:13:10.000 But I'm probably gonna be like, this person is a lot of work to be around.

01:13:14.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:13:15.000 I 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.

01:13:28.000 There are some prominent trans people who mention that they view gender as binary, hence their transitioning between male or female.

01:13:37.000 They'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.

01:13:53.000 What happened was this particular trans woman got cancelled because the younger generation said, you're being transphobic for not respecting neopronouns.

01:14:01.000 Was it Natalie?

01:14:02.000 I'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.

01:14:09.000 So, you know, he said this about this person and they go into a brigade.

01:14:13.000 No, I don't want to get involved in that.

01:14:14.000 I just want to point out the difference.

01:14:15.000 Here's what they say at the New York Times.

01:14:17.000 They say, One card explains neopronouns at length.

01:14:20.000 In its facts section, it provides a response used often in the neopronoun community.

01:14:25.000 When talking to people who claim neopronouns aren't real words, yes, literally every word is made up.

01:14:30.000 Neopronouns are real because they carry meaning and are understood by others.

01:14:35.000 That's the problem.

01:14:37.000 They're not.

01:14:38.000 I don't understand half these words.

01:14:40.000 And if you said it to me, I'd be like, I don't know what that is.

01:14:42.000 I don't know what you're trying to tell me.

01:14:46.000 If someone said their pronouns were pre-prin, I'd be like, I don't understand.

01:14:51.000 That doesn't mean anything to me.

01:14:54.000 And like you're saying, part of the usefulness of words is the meaning behind them.

01:14:59.000 So the issue becomes, Neo-pronouns just get rid of pronouns in general.

01:15:05.000 Because 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.

01:15:18.000 It's harder to understand what I'm saying and think about it and communicate.

01:15:21.000 Maybe that's on purpose.

01:15:22.000 Maybe they're trying to exert power.

01:15:23.000 Maybe they're young people who want to, you know, assert themselves in a conversation.

01:15:27.000 But if everyone here gave me a different pronoun, I wouldn't be able to be like,

01:15:31.000 oh, I was talking to Ian. Yeah, Priest said that Prince, he was saying he wanted to go

01:15:34.000 to the mall because he was mad at himself for not buying his second set of shot glasses.

01:15:39.000 Which is part of the point that I made about, I'll say whatever you want me to say for your pronoun,

01:15:45.000 but it is difficult to engage with you if you have your own specific pronouns.

01:15:51.000 Because there's a certain amount of, you know, when you read, you just, you don't sound out the words.

01:15:58.000 You 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.

01:16:07.000 And our brains work like that when it comes to talking, too.

01:16:11.000 We 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.

01:16:21.000 If 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.

01:16:31.000 It's like telling you you have four names.

01:16:33.000 But now one thing that's happening where the left is getting angry is people started calling themselves, their pronouns are BLM and BLMself.

01:16:39.000 So you'd be like, oh, I was talking to Ian.

01:16:41.000 BLM said that BLM was mad at BLMself for not buying BLM's second whiskey set.

01:16:50.000 Whiskey glass set.

01:16:51.000 I get it.

01:16:53.000 And they're doing ACAB and ACABself.

01:16:55.000 Oh, slap. 0.98

01:16:55.000 Good, good. 0.98

01:16:57.000 I'm glad.

01:16:59.000 Thank you.

01:17:02.000 All right, well, I'm gonna read more.

01:17:04.000 Many people who use neopronouns don't just use one set.

01:17:07.000 They select a handful and show off their collections on websites like Pronouni.xyz, a site that provides usage examples for neopronouns.

01:17:16.000 Users 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.

01:17:23.000 Sorry if I have too many pronouns, the page creators wrote.

01:17:25.000 Bunself is from now on, call me Bun.

01:17:27.000 Bunself.

01:17:29.000 That's mine now.

01:17:31.000 I do like Bunself, but like basically for rabbits, not for anybody else.

01:17:35.000 Okay.

01:17:35.000 That'd be cute.

01:17:36.000 Yeah.

01:17:37.000 Bun wanted, you know, Bun was telling me Bun wanted more carrots for Bunself.

01:17:41.000 I love it.

01:17:43.000 You can use, you can use just one set or they them if there are too many.

01:17:48.000 So here's where it gets interesting.

01:17:50.000 I know a lot of people think this is silly.

01:17:52.000 I'm down for respecting people within certain contexts.

01:17:55.000 You know, behind closed doors, we have to make fun of each other.

01:17:57.000 We don't like, not everybody likes each other, but we try to be good to each other to the best of our abilities.

01:18:01.000 At least I think that's a good thing.

01:18:02.000 You're out in public, you see someone you don't like, you smile and you nod.

01:18:06.000 Then you go behind closed door and say they smelled like farts, whatever.

01:18:09.000 So if someone comes up to me and they're like, these are my protons, but you got it.

01:18:11.000 You 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.

01:18:19.000 Many states are passing these laws that say your company, these jobs, have to use your pronouns.

01:18:25.000 That's it.

01:18:26.000 It's in the law.

01:18:27.000 You know what?

01:18:27.000 I'm gonna stop.

01:18:29.000 I like this.

01:18:30.000 I'm a fan.

01:18:30.000 You know why?

01:18:31.000 This is legit culture jamming.

01:18:33.000 This is exploiting the system and pointing out the holes and how they don't work.

01:18:38.000 So in New York, you are entitled, at your job or as a customer, to have your pronouns, your name, respected.

01:18:46.000 It's a civil, it's a human rights law in New York city.

01:18:49.000 If you work at say, you know, Starbucks and you demand to have a certain set of pronouns, they have to use them.

01:18:55.000 Otherwise they're violating your human rights.

01:18:56.000 It's a violation of your gender expression. 0.91

01:18:59.000 Okay.

01:19:00.000 So to what limit?

01:19:02.000 If the New York Times is straight up saying you can use 50 different pronouns, your manager better start doing it. 1.00

01:19:07.000 So I'm like, okay, let's play that game.

01:19:09.000 I encourage people to adopt pronouns that they feel comfortable with and make something of it, I guess.

01:19:17.000 I get what you're saying, but I think that that eventually, and probably very quickly, will become detrimental to the actual trans community.

01:19:27.000 Because the more difficult you make it for people to navigate polite society, the less interested people will be in being polite. 0.99

01:19:39.000 They're going to say, well, it's just too much of a pain in the dick. 0.99

01:19:42.000 So, pardon my French, and they're just going to be like, you know, screw it. 1.00

01:19:46.000 I'm just going to do, you know, whatever.

01:19:48.000 I'm not worried about this person's, you know, blah, blah, blah.

01:19:50.000 And then actual people that have transitioned, that genuinely do get their feelings hurt

01:19:57.000 if they're misgendered and stuff like that, they're gonna be the people

01:20:00.000 that are gonna pay the price.

01:20:01.000 Yeah.

01:20:02.000 And I think that there is a certain, to a certain degree, there are people that will do things

01:20:09.000 like have their own pronouns, their own personal pronouns for a narcissistic reason,

01:20:15.000 and they're going to hurt actual trans people, and they're gonna end up making it bad for people

01:20:21.000 that are actually trans.

01:20:23.000 I've actually mentioned this.

01:20:24.000 I was telling the story about New York.

01:20:26.000 When 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.

01:20:35.000 And they said, any, any.

01:20:37.000 And so I actually talked, I reached out to some friends.

01:20:39.000 I said, I need to find a human rights lawyer, like someone who litigates and like actually understands this and some advocates.

01:20:44.000 And 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.

01:20:55.000 I think. 0.87

01:20:55.000 And I was like, so if I went to a restaurant and I use some ridiculous like Asian stereotype 0.87

01:21:01.000 for like me and my family and you know, just like offensive words.

01:21:06.000 And they said, I refuse to say these things.

01:21:08.000 You think if I sued, the judge would say, get out of here. 0.92

01:21:11.000 You're screwing with us.

01:21:12.000 I think I disagree totally.

01:21:13.000 But well, so this lawyer said, there's a reason why we have laws and we have judges.

01:21:17.000 Judges interpret the law.

01:21:18.000 If the judge sees that you're making a mockery of the law, they will just say, oh, we get it.

01:21:24.000 It's not a legitimate complaint.

01:21:26.000 And then I said, so you're saying if I dress in a way that is deemed to be a joke or illegitimate, the judge can just throw me out?

01:21:33.000 And he goes, yes.

01:21:34.000 And 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? 0.99

01:21:41.000 That, that opens the door for them to actually suppress transgender rights.

01:21:45.000 And that's when the lawyer was like, well, you know, these things, like the general idea from the lawyer was, it's true.

01:21:53.000 They could happen.

01:21:54.000 But most of these judges understand the spirit of the law.

01:21:58.000 And I was like, listen, I'm willing to bet there's going to be a conservative judge in one of these jurisdictions.

01:22:03.000 And if you're telling me they have a right to laugh someone out of the courtroom, it will be an actual trans person. 0.97

01:22:08.000 Yep.

01:22:09.000 Yeah, I guess.

01:22:09.000 Especially if you're looking at people now who are becoming aggravated by the excessivity of it.

01:22:15.000 They become judges in the future.

01:22:17.000 You know, the 17-year-olds now are gonna be judges in 20 years.

01:22:20.000 And the thing is, I don't know that it's actually really excessive.

01:22:26.000 I think that things like that story are such a small case.

01:22:31.000 Like, 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...

01:22:46.000 This is from Tumblr 10 years ago, and it's now in the New York Times.

01:22:48.000 It 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.

01:23:05.000 That's it.

01:23:07.000 And I think that a very small minority want the specialized Uh, you know, specialized pronouns.

01:23:15.000 And I do think that that is more about narcissism than about actually being transgender. 0.99

01:23:22.000 I think that it's more about, I want to be, you know, I want attention.

01:23:25.000 I think you hit the nail on the head with this one, that it's ultimately going to be more detrimental for trans people.

01:23:29.000 Yeah.

01:23:29.000 I think it's a hard trans community.

01:23:31.000 Well, let's jump to the last segment.

01:23:33.000 I was saving the best for last, because I'm gonna go off on this one.

01:23:37.000 Alright.

01:23:37.000 We got this story about the Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

01:23:40.000 You may have seen it.

01:23:40.000 It'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.

01:23:51.000 They'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.

01:23:56.000 Some cops pull up out of nowhere!

01:23:58.000 And they walk up to Bucky, the white guy, and they're like, is everything okay, sir?

01:24:01.000 And he's like, yeah, it's fine.

01:24:02.000 Is this man giving you trouble?

01:24:03.000 And they're like...

01:24:04.000 What are you talking about?

01:24:05.000 And then Sam is like, what's going on?

01:24:07.000 And the cops are like, sir, sir, calm down.

01:24:10.000 And then Bucky's like, don't you know who this is?

01:24:12.000 And the cops are like, oh man, oops, it was the Avenger.

01:24:15.000 Oh, geez.

01:24:15.000 According to the rumor, this obvious Black Lives Matter narrative soured a bunch of people who turned the show off and stopped watching.

01:24:24.000 I don't know if that's true or not.

01:24:25.000 That's a rumor.

01:24:26.000 But apparently, we're hearing a lot- I'm seeing a lot of posts on Twitter from people who are like, I just couldn't do it.

01:24:31.000 It's so over the top and absurd.

01:24:33.000 Had nothing to do with the plot at all.

01:24:35.000 Literally.

01:24:35.000 It was like, they're like, we gotta stop these super soldiers, man!

01:24:38.000 And the cops pull up and they're like, hold on there, sir!

01:24:40.000 We're gonna do a racism!

01:24:41.000 It's like... It had nothing to do with the show!

01:24:46.000 Right.

01:24:46.000 Alright, well.

01:24:48.000 We got a new one for ya.

01:24:49.000 Captain America is incel!

01:24:51.000 Here we go, baby!

01:24:52.000 The rap says, incel Captain America is so perfect.

01:24:55.000 We know it's wrong to enjoy the whiny and murderous John Walker on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, but it feels so right.

01:25:02.000 I 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.

01:25:16.000 Sorry, I guess.

01:25:17.000 So, if you're not ready for this, spoiler alert.

01:25:19.000 Anyway, I'll continue.

01:25:21.000 The 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.

01:25:29.000 And 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.

01:25:38.000 And 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.

01:25:49.000 The rap says, let me just read some of this for you.

01:25:51.000 John Walker, aka the new Captain America, showed us his true self on the Falcon and Winter Soldier this week in more ways than one.

01:25:58.000 The new cap has struggled to feel like he belongs in a world full of gods and aliens and super soldiers, and for good reason.

01:26:04.000 He'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.

01:26:12.000 He hasn't been trained to fight these battles, so of course he's going to get whooped.

01:26:16.000 And so we have this new Captain America. 0.99

01:26:17.000 He's just trash at his job. 0.97

01:26:19.000 He's embarrassed and certainly looks like he hasn't been sleeping because of his frustration at being sidelined by actual heroes. 0.99

01:26:24.000 There's an easy remedy to the issue.

01:26:26.000 Partner up with Sam and Bucky and follow their lead.

01:26:29.000 But this toxic masculinity, Captain America can't do that. 0.81

01:26:32.000 He's freaking Captain America. 0.96

01:26:33.000 He's supposed to be the lead. 0.99

01:26:34.000 He can't take orders from these sidekicks.

01:26:37.000 Even though they're better than him at everything.

01:26:38.000 Even though they actually fought superhuman folks and worse before.

01:26:43.000 Even 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.

01:26:51.000 For 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.

01:27:02.000 And 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.

01:27:09.000 They say way back in the first Avenger, Captain America, the creator of the original serum said that it amplifies everything that is inside.

01:27:16.000 Good becomes great, bad becomes worse.

01:27:18.000 Steve Rogers was good becomes great, and it looks like John Walker is the other one.

01:27:22.000 It's kind of a strange arc for John.

01:27:24.000 He 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.

01:27:31.000 He 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.

01:27:38.000 But I like where we ended up. 0.55

01:27:40.000 I 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. 0.97

01:27:51.000 It's disgusting, and it felt so incredibly wrong, and it was absolutely a thrill to watch. 0.99

01:27:56.000 I'd love for blah blah blah.

01:27:57.000 Okay, you get the point.

01:27:58.000 Alright.

01:27:58.000 I'm gonna- I'm gonna thoroughly give this a whoopin' and a debunking.

01:28:02.000 I'm actually interested to see the next episode of Captain America- of- I'm sorry.

01:28:06.000 The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

01:28:08.000 Because 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.

01:28:18.000 What 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.

01:28:27.000 First and foremost, the bad guys are globalists.

01:28:30.000 They're called the Flag Smashers. 0.97

01:28:32.000 They wear masks.

01:28:33.000 They want there to be no borders, and they're willing to hurt innocent people to get it.

01:28:37.000 That doesn't sound like incels or the far right.

01:28:40.000 Baron Zemo, who is the anti-hero they break out of prison, he says she is a supremacist.

01:28:47.000 Now that she has this power, you know, basically she's gonna think she's the only one. 0.99

01:28:51.000 So what ends up happening is...

01:28:53.000 The narrative presented by the rap is that Captain America is a regular guy who feels inadequate because these other super soldiers exist.

01:29:02.000 And these super soldiers are supremacists who they think they're the best.

01:29:08.000 And this Captain America guy in one scene looks at Bucky Barnes and he says, it's so easy for you, isn't it?

01:29:14.000 With that serum coursing through your veins.

01:29:17.000 Then he gets a hold of the serum and takes it and becomes a villain.

01:29:20.000 And you know what I see with this?

01:29:22.000 Replace Super Soldier with White Privilege.

01:29:26.000 And 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!

01:29:37.000 And 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.

01:29:44.000 And 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. 0.99

01:29:56.000 They are whiny losers. 0.99

01:29:58.000 And it's funny that the rap sees that and says, this guy's an incel. 0.99

01:30:03.000 No, 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.

01:30:13.000 I'm the real hero.

01:30:14.000 Sounds to me like he's criticizing white privilege.

01:30:17.000 Would you agree, sir?

01:30:22.000 I see your point of view.

01:30:23.000 That makes a lot of sense, actually.

01:30:25.000 It's very meta and pretty interesting.

01:30:28.000 I wonder if the writers were actually going for like a woke thing because they did that police thing early on.

01:30:32.000 Yeah.

01:30:33.000 But I watched this and when I first saw Zemo say like, oh, she will be a supremacist.

01:30:36.000 And I was like, oh, come on, don't go there.

01:30:38.000 Like, are we really going to do this?

01:30:40.000 Are you going to make a thriller about superheroes turn into a, you know, beat you over the head with this progressive stuff?

01:30:47.000 And then I actually, you know, watched through it.

01:30:50.000 And now I feel like they're actually critical of the left.

01:30:51.000 It's similar with Black Panther. 0.77

01:30:53.000 Black Panther was, like, the left loved it.

01:30:57.000 You've seen Black Panther?

01:30:58.000 Yes.

01:30:59.000 So, like, the left was treating it like this great accomplishment, you know, and it was so amazing.

01:31:04.000 But it was actually politically nuanced.

01:31:07.000 It 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.

01:31:18.000 And I'm like, that's a nuanced political take.

01:31:20.000 I dig it.

01:31:21.000 Now we got the Falcon and Winter Soldier, and they're literally doing what appears to be a mockery of awokeness.

01:31:28.000 I don't know that, I mean, I think your analysis can definitely be, it's reasonable.

01:31:37.000 I don't think the writers are intending that, but I do think that you probably hit the nail on the head.

01:31:45.000 Or at least you've managed to see something that possibly the writers did not see.

01:31:52.000 I'm not entirely sure the writers thought this all through, but is it possible it's projection?

01:31:59.000 Like so much of what the left and the critical theorists and the woke people do, they project.

01:32:05.000 I want it to be.

01:32:10.000 Yeah, I suppose that it is possible.

01:32:14.000 Because it does make sense.

01:32:18.000 I imagine they would not be happy to hear that analysis.

01:32:21.000 In a cell, Captain America?

01:32:24.000 I mean, I'm not a fan of... I thought WandaVision was good.

01:32:31.000 And WandaVision, I understand that your criticism of WandaVision is legitimate. 1.00

01:32:39.000 She was the bad guy. 0.91

01:32:40.000 First three episodes are trash. 0.98

01:32:42.000 Not even a real show. 0.97

01:32:43.000 She's torturing people, and then she's the good guy. 0.98

01:32:46.000 Well, spoiler alert!

01:32:46.000 That sounds a hot... Oh, whatever.

01:32:49.000 Yeah, at this point... It sounds like... These are mini-series.

01:32:52.000 It's not going to be a recurring season or anything, so it's over already.

01:32:55.000 It may as well have been a movie.

01:32:58.000 It's so amazing that WandaVision, a lot of people pointed out that it's like a... Let me stop here and start over.

01:33:06.000 I've heard this meme a lot.

01:33:07.000 I don't know if it's true.

01:33:07.000 They said, a male power fantasy is diehard.

01:33:11.000 He's climbing, stepping in glass, got a gun taped to his back, and he's gonna save the day.

01:33:15.000 The guy, he's gonna fight back and defeat the terrorists.

01:33:18.000 And 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. 0.91

01:33:24.000 So, you look at WandaVision and it feels like it fits more of the traditional female archetype.

01:33:30.000 That 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.

01:33:38.000 Well, I mean, I'm not sure if that is the female archetype or not, but it does... Probably just an offensive meme. 1.00

01:33:45.000 Probably just an offensive meme.

01:33:48.000 But it does seem like, I mean, I suppose that, again, that is a legitimate way of looking at it.

01:33:54.000 But I mean, when I said that I liked WandaVision, I suppose that I mean that I found it entertaining.

01:34:05.000 I didn't find it offensive.

01:34:10.000 Because they are characters that I cared about.

01:34:13.000 I cared about Vision and I cared about Wanda Maximoff.

01:34:18.000 Because the Scarlet Witch is one of the most powerful characters, if not the most powerful character in the Marvel Universe.

01:34:23.000 I think that what happens to her matters certainly far more than what happens to the incel Captain America that they've come up with.

01:34:33.000 And so the story is more compelling because this is a completely new character that I don't much care for.

01:34:40.000 And I've only watched the first episode and I haven't really watched any other episodes of Falcon and Winter Soldier.

01:34:47.000 I had intended to, or I do intend to, but I was going to wait until there were more.

01:34:51.000 I'm kind of bored of it because it feels like it's like it's just too B tier.

01:34:57.000 Yeah, but the stakes aren't high enough.

01:34:59.000 Not enough's happening.

01:35:00.000 The characters don't matter enough.

01:35:02.000 There's not enough high level anything to it.

01:35:05.000 I agree about the characters don't matter enough.

01:35:10.000 Vision was an integral character from Ultron on.

01:35:17.000 And Wanda, again, being the most powerful character in the Marvel Universe, means the stakes are higher.

01:35:25.000 We'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.

01:35:35.000 It's preachy.

01:35:36.000 I heard Jeremy on The Quartering talking about people turning it off, and then I think it was... We talked about it as well.

01:35:43.000 Did you talk about Overlord DVD too?

01:35:45.000 Because I went and listened to his video on it.

01:35:47.000 He'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.

01:35:55.000 I mean, I'm stoked for Multiverse of Madness.

01:35:58.000 What is Doctor Strange?

01:36:00.000 And that's going to have Wanda in it as well, right?

01:36:03.000 I mean, they're characters you care about.

01:36:05.000 I gave up on it, man. 0.97

01:36:07.000 Once, I don't know when, all the Marvel crap, all the cartoons. 0.98

01:36:12.000 It's like cartoons for adults. 0.99

01:36:13.000 Like all the CG crap. 0.98

01:36:15.000 It's like they tend to have this invincibility behavior where there's no fear. 0.98

01:36:21.000 The characters aren't afraid.

01:36:23.000 It 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.

01:36:35.000 Then 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.

01:36:43.000 And it's like, man, I play video games.

01:36:45.000 I want to be interactive if I'm going to be having that sort of cartoon.

01:36:49.000 But we did get a really important point.

01:36:50.000 Someone just brought up in the super chat that I just saw.

01:36:53.000 There'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.

01:37:02.000 And he goes, I'm just a falcon.

01:37:04.000 I mean, like, you're black, Falcons, like, nah. 0.95

01:37:07.000 Like, and that was something, you know, so this is B. Young mentioning, isn't that anti-woke? 0.96

01:37:11.000 I'm like, I remember that.

01:37:13.000 It didn't get as much play among the, you know, commentators, and it was legit.

01:37:18.000 I'm just Falcon.

01:37:19.000 And he is just Falcon.

01:37:20.000 Dude, I think Anthony Mackie kills it, and I think Falcon's an awesome character.

01:37:23.000 I'm stoked, you know, I was excited for the show.

01:37:26.000 I just feel like it's not, you know, He got beat up by a Tic Tac.

01:37:29.000 I mean, that was great.

01:37:31.000 I thought that was awesome.

01:37:32.000 I like the character.

01:37:33.000 He's cool.

01:37:33.000 He's like a military guy who got this experimental suit.

01:37:35.000 It's legit.

01:37:36.000 I think he could have done, like, they could have had a better, like, introduction for him or whatever, but I'm stoked.

01:37:40.000 I really liked that, when he was like, I'm just the Falcon.

01:37:42.000 That's right.

01:37:43.000 They're making that point.

01:37:44.000 And I'll add something else, too, because I've been watching a lot of Star Trek The Next Generation.

01:37:47.000 I've seen them all a million times.

01:37:48.000 I'll watch them again.

01:37:49.000 Today's episode blew my mind.

01:37:51.000 I'm watching it on the BBC.

01:37:52.000 It's like 4 p.m.

01:37:52.000 or whatever.

01:37:53.000 It'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.

01:38:14.000 And he's like, and this kid, he goes, that doesn't matter.

01:38:16.000 He goes, yes, it does.

01:38:17.000 What you look like does matter.

01:38:19.000 And I'm like, that's amazing.

01:38:20.000 That starts with the next generation.

01:38:22.000 Way back then was anti-woke, was critical of this idea that being judged based on how you look mattered.

01:38:28.000 And it was like, this guy who was wrong was telling the kid, you have to, you have to leave and be with your own kind.

01:38:34.000 And I'm like, they were actually being critical of the racists.

01:38:37.000 And now it's come full circle and they're being critical of the left.

01:38:39.000 Yeah.

01:38:40.000 I 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.

01:38:52.000 And 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.

01:39:02.000 They were holding signs that said, I am a man.

01:39:05.000 And I remember that, yeah, you know, it was an appeal to their humanity.

01:39:10.000 It's like, look, I'm a person just like you.

01:39:13.000 And that's, I think that seeing the individual is the important way to view people.

01:39:19.000 It's not seeing the group that they come from.

01:39:21.000 And 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.

01:39:31.000 I remember that one too.

01:39:33.000 He said that in Selma, right?

01:39:37.000 Marvel and Star Wars, they trashed it.

01:39:40.000 We watched Fantasia 2000 a couple nights ago, and the animation was flat.

01:39:47.000 Walt Disney was gone.

01:39:48.000 The magic of Walt Disney, the guy who created that animation style, that flowy movement, is dead.

01:39:54.000 And you can see that in Disney's art.

01:39:57.000 He's gone. 0.99

01:39:58.000 He's not there to oversee it and to say what's crap. 0.98

01:40:00.000 Man, that company is just in name only. 0.98

01:40:02.000 And that's money gone wrong.

01:40:04.000 You think money in politics is bad?

01:40:05.000 Rian Johnson should be put on trial.

01:40:11.000 He 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!

01:40:27.000 If 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.

01:40:38.000 But, uh, if you do like the show, leave us a like, comment below, because we appreciate it when you, uh, support the show.

01:40:43.000 And, uh, go to TimCast.com, become a member.

01:40:46.000 We're going to have a great, uh, exclusive members-only segment coming up after.

01:40:50.000 We're going to be talking about a convention of states.

01:40:53.000 Right?

01:40:53.000 That's what we're going to talk about.

01:40:54.000 We already thought about it.

01:40:55.000 We got to do it because you're, you know, Article 5 Convention of States.

01:40:58.000 Article 5 Convention of States can make the disillusion of the United States legal if necessary to avoid war, to avoid a death toll.

01:41:08.000 TimCast.com, we'll be talking about that around 11 or so, it should be up.

01:41:11.000 But let's read some superchats.

01:41:12.000 We 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.

01:41:19.000 I wanted to at least shout out your work you've done studying China and not just letting him spew propaganda.

01:41:25.000 Well, um, you know, I always enjoy having people of different opinions.

01:41:30.000 And I certainly had my arguments with what he was saying.

01:41:33.000 I think I did like a four minute rant where I was like, here's what China is doing. 0.82

01:41:36.000 Here's why it's bad.

01:41:37.000 Here's what's going to happen to us.

01:41:38.000 We're losing our rights.

01:41:39.000 Billionaires are becoming deferential to China.

01:41:41.000 Then they're lobbying.

01:41:42.000 They're putting money into lobbying with our own politicians that we vote against our rights.

01:41:45.000 I think those conversations are important, whether or not they're perfect.

01:41:48.000 We're going to have a lot of people come on the show probably are going to have bad opinions.

01:41:51.000 So yeah, it is what it is.

01:41:53.000 You had Vaush.

01:41:55.000 Yeah, we had Vosh and Destiny, and I respect them for doing it.

01:41:58.000 But Destiny's opinions aren't nearly as bad as Vosh. 1.00

01:42:00.000 I think Destiny's got totally respectable opinions. 1.00

01:42:02.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:42:03.000 Destiny was actually fairly smart.

01:42:04.000 I just disagree.

01:42:06.000 Well, I should say, Destiny was smart.

01:42:07.000 I don't mean to be disrespectful.

01:42:08.000 I mean, he has interesting arguments.

01:42:10.000 I think he was just lacking information on a lot of things.

01:42:12.000 And there's a lot of people on the left who simply, we just, we know different things, which shapes our opinions.

01:42:18.000 And then we get into arguments, and we're like, wait a minute.

01:42:20.000 And then there's like a clash, and then we're adamant on our stuff.

01:42:22.000 So Destiny, I thought was actually great because he defended Kyle Rittenhouse.

01:42:26.000 Yeah.

01:42:26.000 You know, he was like, if he can see it, he's honest and he assessed it.

01:42:29.000 I respect that.

01:42:30.000 I think, you know, some people have brought up that Vosh said that lying to get your

01:42:35.000 way sometimes is acceptable.

01:42:36.000 And.

01:42:36.000 I mean, Vosh is just bad.

01:42:39.000 Hey, look, I'm willing to have, you know, whoever.

01:42:42.000 So 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?

01:42:50.000 Oh yeah.

01:42:50.000 All right.

01:42:50.000 Let's see what you got here.

01:42:51.000 Kay Lorraine says, Tim, do you think this will ever actually stop though?

01:42:54.000 The media are like Charles Manson.

01:42:56.000 Not me.

01:42:56.000 I just told them to.

01:42:57.000 So this is becoming the norm.

01:43:00.000 Yup.

01:43:01.000 Yeah.

01:43:03.000 I don't even understand what she was saying.

01:43:04.000 Uh, the media is going to keep putting out these lies and framing things improperly and then acting like they had nothing to do with it.

01:43:10.000 Like when they say, uh, you know, that the prosecution is winning.

01:43:14.000 Yeah.

01:43:14.000 Dude, if you've been watching this trial, you're probably laughing at how, how, how clownishly bad the prosecution is.

01:43:19.000 Yeah.

01:43:20.000 And it's crazy how Slate actually says, is the, is the defense floundering?

01:43:24.000 I 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.

01:43:34.000 Guilty and blah, blah, blah.

01:43:35.000 And I'm like, the prosecution hasn't even rested and the defense hasn't even presented their case yet.

01:43:41.000 How can you be sure?

01:43:42.000 And she was just adamant that he was... And I'm like... Let me lay it out.

01:43:48.000 We've only heard from the prosecution so far.

01:43:50.000 They've had about one or two good days.

01:43:53.000 And a good day doesn't mean a great day or a slam-dunk day.

01:43:55.000 Even 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.

01:44:06.000 How would you assess this?

01:44:08.000 It's just a drug overdose.

01:44:09.000 What if he didn't have drugs in the system?

01:44:12.000 Heart failure.

01:44:13.000 Reasonable doubt.

01:44:15.000 What these people don't understand is the burden is on the state.

01:44:18.000 Yeah.

01:44:19.000 So if they're looking at it like...

01:44:20.000 She was Canadian.

01:44:21.000 Oh, right, right.

01:44:23.000 If they're looking at this like, the state doesn't need to prove he was guilty.

01:44:28.000 They just need to suggest it.

01:44:30.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.

01:44:31.000 They got to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.

01:44:33.000 So the defense was very effective at raising reasonable doubt in almost every single circumstance.

01:44:38.000 Even getting one of the paid expert witnesses to admit Derek Chauvin used less force than authorized, which intent is out the window.

01:44:47.000 That's two and three are gone.

01:44:48.000 Murder two and three are gone.

01:44:50.000 Because 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.

01:44:57.000 Murder 3 requires the intent to cause harm, which results in death.

01:45:00.000 But he chose to use less force.

01:45:02.000 How are you gonna get him on that?

01:45:03.000 Manslaughter, maybe, but I still don't think so.

01:45:05.000 I'm not an expert.

01:45:06.000 Legal Insurrection disagrees.

01:45:08.000 They say he might get manslaughter at this point.

01:45:10.000 We'll see.

01:45:11.000 I'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?

01:45:19.000 And that can be the title of the article?

01:45:21.000 And of course in the article they're like, no.

01:45:23.000 But the title of the article, did this person commit this heinous crime?

01:45:27.000 It'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.

01:45:39.000 Like, at some point you can't just say something illegal in a video game.

01:45:42.000 Free speech, bruv.

01:45:43.000 Apparently.

01:45:44.000 In a video game.

01:45:45.000 You can ask a question.

01:45:47.000 Look, the in a video game thing isn't real.

01:45:49.000 Like, these leftists... Have you seen this?

01:45:52.000 I've seen Hasan do it, yeah. 0.71

01:45:54.000 In Minecraft.

01:45:54.000 It's not a legal defense, dude!

01:45:57.000 It won't work!

01:45:57.000 In a video game, yeah.

01:45:59.000 They don't understand, like... For those that understand, they'll say something like, we should, you know, commit X crime.

01:46:09.000 In a video game!

01:46:11.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:46:11.000 That's not how things work.

01:46:14.000 The question is whether or not you intended to incite violence, not what you said.

01:46:18.000 So 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.

01:46:33.000 and bring with you these things.

01:46:34.000 And 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.

01:46:43.000 When 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.

01:46:53.000 In a video game, in a video game.

01:46:54.000 It's like, dude, you think a judge is going to be like, oh, can you say that in Minecraft?

01:46:58.000 Should we all go commit X crime on Tuesday at 4 p.m.? ?

01:47:03.000 Are you allowed to say stuff like that?

01:47:05.000 No.

01:47:06.000 It depends on whether you're intending to actually incite.

01:47:09.000 So try, like these people don't get this.

01:47:11.000 I love this.

01:47:11.000 When I was, when I was younger, they'd be like, we're, we're going to have a kegger.

01:47:15.000 It's, it's, uh, you know, it's the beer is free.

01:47:18.000 We can't sell beer.

01:47:18.000 That's illegal.

01:47:19.000 But the cup costs $20.

01:47:21.000 And I'm like, that's called solicitation.

01:47:22.000 And the cops still arrest you. 1.00

01:47:24.000 Do you think the cops are dumb? 1.00

01:47:25.000 They're like rats. 1.00

01:47:26.000 They got us. 0.98

01:47:27.000 They're selling cups, not beer.

01:47:29.000 No, they're like, you're selling beer. 1.00

01:47:30.000 Shut up. 0.98

01:47:31.000 I love, there's this movie with the, I can't remember what it is. 0.98

01:47:34.000 There used to be a store in Western Massachusetts that was an adult video store.

01:47:41.000 And for some reason about zoning or something like that, they couldn't be just an adult video store.

01:47:47.000 So they literally were the cup store and they had 51% of the store was styrofoam cups because it was the cheapest thing.

01:47:54.000 And the rest was an adult video store.

01:47:56.000 I mean, obviously this is back, you know, probably 15, 20 years, maybe 20 years.

01:48:01.000 At 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.

01:48:10.000 There's a movie where some dude is trying to buy drugs, and the guy goes, are you a cop?

01:48:14.000 Because you've got to tell me if you are.

01:48:16.000 And he goes, I'm not a cop, dude.

01:48:18.000 And he's like, you've got to tell me, otherwise they'll entrap me.

01:48:20.000 He's like, dude, I'm not a cop.

01:48:21.000 And he goes, all right, all right, I'll sell you.

01:48:23.000 And then the guy goes, pulls out his badge, you're under arrest.

01:48:26.000 You said you weren't a cop!

01:48:27.000 And he's like, why would I tell you I was?

01:48:29.000 What, are you doing an undercover means?

01:48:31.000 But people actually believe that lie.

01:48:34.000 If 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.

01:48:43.000 Yeah.

01:48:44.000 Alright, we got, I'll Fight You Naked says, The most dangerous are not bad people doing evil things.

01:48:50.000 Beware of demons who think themselves angels.

01:48:53.000 Embrace the romantic honor in fighting for a hopeless cause.

01:48:57.000 I'll Fight You Naked says that, huh? 0.95

01:48:58.000 That's right, that's right.

01:49:00.000 Solid.

01:49:02.000 Joey Martina says, hell yeah, Phil!

01:49:04.000 That's right.

01:49:04.000 Hell yeah.

01:49:06.000 Let's see, what is this? 0.64

01:49:07.000 DW says, holy crap, Timcast IRL has visible John Cena on their show.

01:49:11.000 Is that correct? 0.83

01:49:12.000 Is that your title?

01:49:13.000 I don't know, apparently.

01:49:14.000 I thought it was like, Hugh Jackman.

01:49:16.000 Yeah, I can see it.

01:49:17.000 Hugh Jackman.

01:49:19.000 All right, let's see.

01:49:20.000 Captain says, Tim, any chance you will accept payment on your website with something other than PayPal?

01:49:24.000 They are very anti-gun.

01:49:26.000 My friends, the new website actually has... I don't know if it's live yet, because we just got it up.

01:49:32.000 We're still, you know, fixing dimensions.

01:49:35.000 It's, you know, you do it as you go.

01:49:37.000 But we're gonna have Stripe.

01:49:38.000 And I like Stripe.

01:49:40.000 I actually... Stripe's really good.

01:49:42.000 You could send Tim one Bitcoin.

01:49:44.000 No, no, we can't do that.

01:49:46.000 Oh, you can't?

01:49:47.000 Like, we have a donation thing, but we can't take it for memberships.

01:49:49.000 Really?

01:49:49.000 Yeah.

01:49:50.000 Too bad.

01:49:50.000 It's really complicated.

01:49:51.000 You could send me one Bitcoin.

01:49:55.000 Well, so we're going to have Stripe.

01:49:56.000 I don't know if it's live yet, but you'll be able to sign up and not use PayPal.

01:50:00.000 Granted, most people need to realize Stripe and PayPal have everything.

01:50:03.000 PayPal has the majority and Stripe has a little bit.

01:50:05.000 But I'm actually, I'm fairly impressed with Stripe, to be completely honest.

01:50:09.000 Doesn't PayPal own Stripe?

01:50:11.000 I don't think so.

01:50:11.000 Let me look that up.

01:50:13.000 But we signed up because a lot of people have said they weren't big fans of PayPal.

01:50:17.000 So we're like, well, we will add that.

01:50:18.000 And I'm impressed with the mechanics of Stripe.

01:50:25.000 All right, let's see what we got here.

01:50:27.000 Standing While Pooping says, Phil, what the hell happened to Ollie Herbert? 0.96

01:50:32.000 Did his druggy wife kill him? 1.00

01:50:36.000 I don't know that I can say that.

01:50:40.000 I can say that 44 year old men that have no history of drug use and no history of health issues don't just die.

01:50:54.000 They don't.

01:50:56.000 Confirmed, Stripe is not owned by PayPal.

01:50:59.000 It's the most valuable company in Silicon Valley at $95 billion.

01:51:02.000 Stripe is?

01:51:03.000 Yeah, owned by Patrick and John Collison.

01:51:06.000 Wow.

01:51:06.000 That's awesome.

01:51:07.000 It's the most valuable?

01:51:08.000 Yeah, that's according to this Google search.

01:51:11.000 Wow.

01:51:12.000 They've got great functionality, I'll say that.

01:51:14.000 I would like more diversity in terms of, you know, competition and everything, but I'm glad there's more than just PayPal.

01:51:19.000 The most valuable private company in Silicon Valley.

01:51:21.000 Oh, so it hasn't gone public yet.

01:51:23.000 Gavin Campbell says she shot a taser three times.

01:51:26.000 She might have had her gun drawn saying, someone tase so I don't have to pull the trigger. 1.00

01:51:29.000 There's more than one angle.

01:51:30.000 Also for a super chat.

01:51:31.000 That's actually a good point.

01:51:32.000 Yeah.

01:51:32.000 She might've been saying taser, taser, taser, because she wanted them to tase.

01:51:36.000 And then when he was reaching, she shot him and said, holy ass, I just shot him. 0.99

01:51:40.000 And it may have not been an accident. 0.99

01:51:41.000 It may have been, nobody was doing anything and the guy was wanted on a gun charge.

01:51:46.000 It's tragic.

01:51:47.000 It's tragedy, man.

01:51:48.000 This dude, I hate to hear that somebody lost their life simply because they wanted to have a gun, which they're allowed to do.

01:51:54.000 Constitution said so.

01:51:55.000 We became a nation that started crapping all over the Constitution.

01:51:58.000 Minnesota, this is what they do, and now a young man's dead.

01:52:01.000 And I'll tell you this, they're gonna blame the cops.

01:52:03.000 Okay.

01:52:04.000 Some 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.

01:52:10.000 You 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. 0.84

01:52:23.000 There's so much hazard that goes along with circumventing the second amendment.

01:52:28.000 And it's part of the reason why Joe Biden says things like, no amendment is absolute.

01:52:40.000 Well, you know, I think that we're pretty absolute about slavery.

01:52:44.000 Like that is pretty absolutely out of the question.

01:52:47.000 Women's right to vote. 0.99

01:52:48.000 Yeah, women's right to vote. 1.00

01:52:49.000 I'm pretty sure we're absolute about that.

01:52:51.000 And I'm confident that most people are pretty absolute about the Fourth Amendment when the police are at their house.

01:52:58.000 When 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.

01:53:10.000 The hazard about circumventing amendments is it makes it acceptable to circumvent other amendments.

01:53:18.000 People need to understand, you live the Fourth Amendment probably more than any other amendment.

01:53:23.000 This is true.

01:53:26.000 If we didn't have the Fourth Amendment, cops would randomly break into your home. 0.73

01:53:29.000 Randomly!

01:53:31.000 They'd come into your neighborhood and they'd kick the door down and be like, sit down and shut up, we're looking for somebody.

01:53:37.000 And we're checking your house.

01:53:38.000 We have the Fourth Amendment, which means they have to get a warrant signed by a judge. 0.84

01:53:43.000 So typically they'll knock on your door and you can say, come back with a warrant.

01:53:46.000 And then they'll go, you know, they might say something like, oh, it'll be a lot easier.

01:53:51.000 I said what I said.

01:53:52.000 Come back with a warrant.

01:53:52.000 You know, you can be polite about it.

01:53:54.000 Look, no disrespect.

01:53:55.000 Just please come back with a warrant.

01:53:57.000 Anything that circumvents existing amendments makes it more likely that they will circumvent other amendments.

01:54:06.000 So let me ask you something, actually.

01:54:07.000 Red flag laws. 0.70

01:54:09.000 We mostly view them as very bad ideas, right?

01:54:12.000 What if there was no gun law except red flag law? 0.62

01:54:17.000 So I'll put it this way.

01:54:18.000 We say that unreasonable search and seizure is not allowed under the fourth.

01:54:21.000 But the cops can get a signed statement from a judge allowing them to enter your home.

01:54:25.000 What if there were no laws infringing gun rights, but they could get a signed statement from a judge taking your gun?

01:54:31.000 Temporarily for a health check or something.

01:54:33.000 If 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.

01:54:52.000 But if there is a judge that signs the warrant that says that they're going to do that, I think that might be okay.

01:55:00.000 That's how red flag laws work. 0.98

01:55:02.000 There has to be a judge signed?

01:55:03.000 Until the judge signs off on... yeah.

01:55:05.000 My 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.

01:55:22.000 I'm signing the warrant.

01:55:23.000 Go take his guns.

01:55:23.000 Not only that, you know, you can, one of the big things about red flags laws that are bad is the possibility of abuse.

01:55:31.000 Your 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.

01:55:38.000 So the cops come and take your property.

01:55:41.000 I 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.

01:55:49.000 His doctor went to the judge and made it happen.

01:55:52.000 His guns got taken away.

01:55:54.000 I 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.

01:56:15.000 And as communities get bigger and you have less interaction with people on a personal level, the less trust you will have in your communities.

01:56:25.000 And so that means that you will end up with the police being called more frequently.

01:56:28.000 I don't know that I have a good answer for your question.

01:56:34.000 I 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?

01:56:38.000 Yeah, 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.

01:56:53.000 All right, Google's out.

01:56:54.000 We're all going Bing.

01:56:55.000 That's Microsoft Bing.

01:56:56.000 Bing.

01:56:56.000 Bing it is.

01:56:57.000 I'm kidding.

01:56:57.000 DuckDuckGoesButter.

01:56:58.000 If there's a search engine that produces, when you search Riot that produces Paramore's record, I will start using that search engine.

01:57:05.000 That's a great record.

01:57:06.000 I love Paramore.

01:57:07.000 Yeah, you like, I thought Riot was pretty good.

01:57:09.000 I think it's a great record.

01:57:10.000 What do you think about Paramore lately?

01:57:12.000 I haven't listened to their stuff recently.

01:57:15.000 The reason that I found Paramore is I heard Hayley doing an acoustic thing and I was just blown away by her singing.

01:57:20.000 She's phenomenal. 1.00

01:57:20.000 Phenomenal. 1.00

01:57:21.000 Absolutely great musician.

01:57:23.000 Yeah, I was a big fan of Paramore for a while.

01:57:25.000 The newer stuff is different.

01:57:28.000 You know, I saw an ad.

01:57:29.000 Haley was doing ads on Facebook to do like mental health sessions with people. 0.99

01:57:32.000 And I was like, oh, you know, I never really listened to Paramore.

01:57:34.000 And I started listening to their stuff.

01:57:35.000 She's phenomenal. 1.00

01:57:36.000 Yeah, she's had great music back in the day.

01:57:39.000 But I guess the style changed for a variety of reasons.

01:57:40.000 People grow up.

01:57:41.000 They were kind of like ska almost.

01:57:43.000 What was it like?

01:57:44.000 Pop punk, you think?

01:57:45.000 To me, yeah, pop.

01:57:46.000 It was very Warped Tour.

01:57:47.000 Right, right.

01:57:49.000 When I hear Paramore, I think of Warped Tour.

01:57:51.000 You know, I think of Warped Tour.

01:57:53.000 I mean, it's still heavier than Green Day, right?

01:57:56.000 And that's like... It's like, no doubt, if you were weighted down by chains, then you broke and the weights were no longer there.

01:58:04.000 It was better than Green Day.

01:58:07.000 Well, Green Day's stuff was always, like, more bubbly.

01:58:11.000 At least Paramore had some, like, serious topics that were kind of, like, sometimes dark.

01:58:16.000 Green Day was very family-friendly, happy, and, you know... I guess Teen Angst is darker than, you know...

01:58:25.000 Whatever.

01:58:25.000 All right, let's read more before we get Phil in trouble for making fun of people or something.

01:58:30.000 Oh, I'm good at that myself.

01:58:32.000 All right, let's see.

01:58:33.000 101Dumar says, last time Phil was in studio, you didn't know his music and who he was.

01:58:37.000 You have an absolute star in studio.

01:58:39.000 How did you not know Two Weeks among many other great songs he has?

01:58:42.000 Explain yourself.

01:58:44.000 I'll be completely honest.

01:58:45.000 I, of course, know who Phil is, but I've never been a big metal fan or, you know, I don't know.

01:58:50.000 I don't know every single person in the world.

01:58:52.000 Genres are a funny thing.

01:58:54.000 I 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.

01:59:05.000 And 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.

01:59:15.000 I know who the guys in Air Supply are, but not everybody knows who Air Supply is.

01:59:19.000 I have no idea.

01:59:20.000 Yeah, so like, I mean, I've met throughout my career tons of people and I'm, oh man, I have one funny story.

01:59:25.000 I'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.

01:59:32.000 And I was like, so have you been in anything I would have seen?

01:59:35.000 And she like named some movies and I was like, oh, I hated that movie.

01:59:37.000 And apparently she's like one of the biggest celebrities and I'm like...

01:59:43.000 You know, look, man, I was like, I didn't mean to say it.

01:59:46.000 She's like, well, I hate vice. 1.00

01:59:48.000 And I'm like, all right, I shouldn't have said it.

01:59:50.000 Touche.

01:59:50.000 I wasn't thinking it was a rude comment.

01:59:53.000 And she's actually in a bunch of really amazing movies I'm a big fan of, but she's great.

01:59:57.000 And after the show, I want to know who this is.

01:59:59.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure.

02:00:00.000 I just, yeah.

02:00:02.000 I've had my share of meeting people who are... Oh, Paul.

02:00:05.000 You know.

02:00:06.000 I don't know.

02:00:06.000 I treat everybody basically the same, I guess.

02:00:08.000 I got invited to a bunch of, like, several times now, like, Hollywood celebrity parties with, like, famous mainstream TV show people and movie people.

02:00:18.000 And I'm like, legit, thanks for the offer.

02:00:20.000 I just got to work, man.

02:00:21.000 So, like, respect.

02:00:22.000 It's not really my scene.

02:00:23.000 It's not really my thing.

02:00:24.000 I've always... That's why I was talking about all the people doing selfies and, like, trying to be, like, mainstream, tribal.

02:00:30.000 I'm like, I don't care about that, dude.

02:00:31.000 Let me go in the woods and like, you know, go to a shooting range or something.

02:00:35.000 Mind my own business.

02:00:35.000 I 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.

02:00:49.000 There'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.

02:01:04.000 No one in our band lives in LA.

02:01:06.000 Well, our guitar player lives in LA now.

02:01:09.000 for the vast majority of our career.

02:01:12.000 We 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.

02:01:22.000 And 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

02:01:49.000 All right, this is great.

02:01:49.000 George Hodges says, Tim, if you're looking for Black Lives Matter riots on Google, you probably have to type in peaceful protest.

02:01:55.000 Haha, and you call yourself an investigative reporter journalist.

02:02:00.000 Okay, that's fair.

02:02:00.000 I'm gonna look up protests.

02:02:01.000 I bet he's right.

02:02:03.000 Jos Mosk says, Steven Crowder's crew found an aggravated robbery charge for the young gentleman that got shot by the cops.

02:02:09.000 Just something to kind of check out.

02:02:11.000 All right.

02:02:12.000 You know, legit.

02:02:13.000 Uh, and that's why I think it's a different circumstance.

02:02:15.000 So this woman was fearful.

02:02:17.000 I mean, look, the guy had a gun charge and she was worried he had a weapon.

02:02:19.000 I get that.

02:02:20.000 I'm just like, I'd like to see people have the right to keep in bare arms.

02:02:24.000 Do you know what I mean?

02:02:24.000 That guy's totally right.

02:02:25.000 If you type protests in Google, Dante Wright shooting, Minnesota, protests, protests, gather outside.

02:02:34.000 Wow.

02:02:34.000 Amazing.

02:02:35.000 No way.

02:02:37.000 It should have been so obvious to me.

02:02:38.000 I dropped the ball on that one.

02:02:40.000 Wow.

02:02:42.000 Man.

02:02:42.000 And that was, uh, George Hodges.

02:02:45.000 You nailed it.

02:02:47.000 I should, I should have, you know, but it's like, it's like a meme.

02:02:50.000 I didn't think to actually type in peaceful protest.

02:02:52.000 It's right there.

02:02:53.000 You type in peaceful protest.

02:02:58.000 You're going to get Minnesota.

02:02:59.000 Was it you type in peace?

02:02:59.000 I just type protest.

02:03:00.000 Oh, okay.

02:03:03.000 Brilliant.

02:03:05.000 All right.

02:03:05.000 Let's see.

02:03:09.000 Come and take them, says Tim.

02:03:10.000 Myself and two others just finished a feature-length movie with Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy winners and nominees.

02:03:16.000 We'll commit $10,000 to your production and would like to help.

02:03:20.000 Please advise on how to discuss discreetly.

02:03:24.000 Man, that's always tough.

02:03:24.000 I suppose we need to set up an email for this, but we have spintheufo at Gmail.

02:03:28.000 I'm able to look for that and then, cool.

02:03:30.000 Yeah, I want to do short films.

02:03:33.000 I want to do feature lengths, man.

02:03:34.000 Granted, it'll be relatively low budget, because... You know what bums me out, man?

02:03:39.000 I was talking about this thing on one of my videos today.

02:03:42.000 A 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.

02:03:49.000 And I'm like, man, why aren't these people doing more?

02:03:54.000 Like, you know, Glenn Greenwald leaves The Intercept.

02:03:56.000 He made The Intercept.

02:03:57.000 Start again, dude.

02:03:59.000 Make a new site.

02:04:00.000 Use those resources to bring more people on.

02:04:02.000 Expand.

02:04:02.000 Make sure more good journalists start getting able to do that job.

02:04:06.000 Well, 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...

02:04:26.000 They'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.

02:04:42.000 Yeah 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.

02:04:53.000 I mean, they'll take the money, and I force them to take the money, but you just got to speak to the soul.

02:04:58.000 Like arm bar forcing?

02:04:59.000 Yeah, I'll put it behind their back and press until they cry. 0.97

02:05:01.000 Yeah, usually.

02:05:03.000 All right, let's read some more of these.

02:05:04.000 We got Megan Davis says, My guy and I love your show.

02:05:08.000 A couple weeks ago, we saw J.P.

02:05:09.000 Sears' Love at Visani.

02:05:11.000 I told him that I heard on a previous cast you discussing his coming on the show.

02:05:14.000 He said he would.

02:05:15.000 Hope he reaches out.

02:05:16.000 Keep up the good work.

02:05:17.000 Would love to have J.P.

02:05:19.000 Sears.

02:05:19.000 However, people who host shows, it's like, you know, they've got a full time job.

02:05:23.000 They're hosting their own show.

02:05:25.000 And it's harder when you have a daily schedule or weekly schedule to stop your production for someone else's show.

02:05:30.000 But JP Sears is always invited and there's a lot of people who do their own shows we'd love to have on.

02:05:37.000 But I respect it, man.

02:05:38.000 It's like, hey, stop doing your show.

02:05:40.000 Do mine instead.

02:05:41.000 That's harder than it gets.

02:05:42.000 Come out for a Sunday, JP, and hang out at the house and then let's do a show Monday.

02:05:47.000 That's a good idea.

02:05:48.000 I like that.

02:05:49.000 All right, here we go. Tag N. Bink was here, says, Did you see that Jason Whitlock got locked for a tweet

02:05:54.000 criticizing the BLM co-founder for buying those houses? Says that he's in Twitter jail

02:05:58.000 because he won't delete it. Mad respect.

02:06:00.000 BLM stands for Buy Large Mansion.

02:06:03.000 Buy Large Mansion. She bought one large mansion. 1.00

02:06:07.000 She has three other regular houses.

02:06:08.000 We didn't even talk about that.

02:06:10.000 The founder of Black Lives Matter.

02:06:13.000 The trained Marxist.

02:06:14.000 A founder bought four houses.

02:06:16.000 Totaling like two million dollars.

02:06:18.000 Good for her.

02:06:19.000 Yeah, good for her.

02:06:19.000 It proves they're not Marxists.

02:06:21.000 Checkmate bigots.

02:06:21.000 There you go!

02:06:24.000 They can claim to be all they want.

02:06:25.000 Next thing you know she's gonna Airbnb it and then be a landlord too. 1.00

02:06:28.000 Oh snap! 0.76

02:06:30.000 There'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.

02:06:41.000 And 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. 0.79

02:06:48.000 It's like, you're a landlord.

02:06:50.000 That's not.

02:06:51.000 Rent hacking.

02:06:52.000 That'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.

02:07:04.000 Yeah, you buy property.

02:07:05.000 You 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.

02:07:18.000 It'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. 0.97

02:07:30.000 I'll admit, I think the system is trash. 0.72

02:07:33.000 What system? 0.79

02:07:34.000 The system we have in place in general, right?

02:07:36.000 There's people, I remember when I was buying my first house, it was very difficult.

02:07:41.000 And they were like, oh, your credit history, or your bank account, or whatever.

02:07:45.000 And I'm like, my rent costs more than the mortgage, dude.

02:07:48.000 Like, I can pay for this.

02:07:49.000 And they were like, well, we don't think so. 1.00

02:07:51.000 That's the stupidest thing ever. 0.99

02:07:52.000 So there are people who can easily afford a 2K mortgage, right? 1.00

02:07:56.000 And they're being told, you can't have this loan, even though your rent is 22.50 in New York City. 1.00

02:08:01.000 That's stupid. 0.99

02:08:04.000 That speaks to the way that our credit system works. 1.00

02:08:10.000 The fact that the credit system doesn't just depend on if you pay your bills on time every month.

02:08:17.000 It really does depend on if they're making money off of you.

02:08:21.000 It helps your credit to have some money that stays on a credit card.

02:08:26.000 You'll get more points if they're actually...

02:08:28.000 That money that's on the credit card, the bank is making a profit off the interest they charge you.

02:08:35.000 So it's literally extorting you, or you're literally paying to have a good credit history.

02:08:41.000 It's not just about if you're paying your bills on time and stuff.

02:08:44.000 Credit system is whack.

02:08:46.000 It is, it really is.

02:08:47.000 So whack.

02:08:47.000 It really is.

02:08:48.000 All right.

02:08:49.000 Chris Rose, 1986, says, I live in Georgia and no one is wearing masks.

02:08:53.000 They mask the kids.

02:08:54.000 They make the kids wear masks going to school and like Walmart and government buildings.

02:08:58.000 The government always F things up and they will F up the chip.

02:09:02.000 So that is a hard pass.

02:09:04.000 And then we got, uh, Big Rig says, what happens if you need an MRI while having these microchips?

02:09:08.000 Oops.

02:09:09.000 MRI will rip it out of your flesh, I suppose.

02:09:13.000 All right.

02:09:13.000 Let's see what we got here.

02:09:15.000 Lance A says, long time follower.

02:09:17.000 I discovered a new crypto called Elongate.

02:09:21.000 Elongate?

02:09:22.000 That doesn't sound right.

02:09:24.000 Let's see, a DeFi charity token that has donated 825K within a week.

02:09:28.000 It's partnering with Elon Musk brother soon too.

02:09:31.000 Going to be the best real world crypto result.

02:09:33.000 Growing fast.

02:09:34.000 Check it out.

02:09:34.000 Timcast crew.

02:09:35.000 Love you guys.

02:09:36.000 Shill your coin, homie. 1.00

02:09:38.000 Shill your coin.

02:09:39.000 Elon tweeted, if there's ever a scandal about me, I hope it's called Elongate.

02:09:44.000 And then I tweeted, tax the rich and give all the money to Elon.

02:09:48.000 I still love him.

02:09:51.000 Give it all.

02:09:52.000 Oh, what's this?

02:09:53.000 Midnight Smoker says, Jimmy Dore did an interview on the AOC California Highway Patrol incident a few days ago.

02:09:58.000 Interesting.

02:09:59.000 Jimmy's legit.

02:10:01.000 Mad props.

02:10:01.000 Mad respect for Jimmy.

02:10:02.000 I tweeted out that link to the guy that was... So it was legit.

02:10:06.000 Left-wing podcaster.

02:10:08.000 Left-wing podcaster, criticizer?

02:10:09.000 Who was it?

02:10:10.000 Uh, I don't know his, I don't recognize the name right.

02:10:12.000 He made like light comments about her support of Palestine, I think?

02:10:16.000 Yeah.

02:10:16.000 Cops at his door.

02:10:18.000 Wow.

02:10:18.000 Yeah.

02:10:19.000 Straight up.

02:10:19.000 No joke.

02:10:21.000 AOC is a bad person. 0.94

02:10:23.000 Yes. 0.78

02:10:24.000 I called her evil. 0.99

02:10:25.000 She's Donald Trump, just with boobies. 1.00

02:10:27.000 She's worse than Trump. 1.00

02:10:29.000 Yeah, I think she's worse.

02:10:32.000 I think Trump actually had some convictions.

02:10:34.000 I don't think she does.

02:10:35.000 Yeah, maybe.

02:10:36.000 She might have until she got to Washington and was making six figures.

02:10:42.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:10:43.000 When it was like, listen, you play ball or you're out.

02:10:46.000 She went, okay, I'll play ball. 0.59

02:10:47.000 I'd rather look at her than Trump, though.

02:10:48.000 I mean, yeah, that's fair.

02:10:50.000 I don't know, man.

02:10:51.000 Trump, those burgeoning muscles, that glorious golden face.

02:10:58.000 I'll look at a Ben Garrison cartoon of Trump before I look at Trump.

02:11:03.000 What is that?

02:11:05.000 Hilarious. 0.89

02:11:06.000 Well, it's funny because the left would draw Trump as this hunched over, morbidly obese with tiny hands.

02:11:11.000 And Ben Garrison's him's upright, six foot, you know, whatever.

02:11:14.000 It's super tall and glowing.

02:11:15.000 When the left draws Trump, it's essentially Oswald Copperpot from Batman 2, but without the pointy nose and with a blonde hair.

02:11:24.000 That's the way the left sees Donald Trump.

02:11:26.000 Pretty much, yeah.

02:11:28.000 Oswald Copperpot.

02:11:29.000 Cobblepot.

02:11:30.000 Cobblepot.

02:11:31.000 That's the penguin.

02:11:34.000 Alright, let's see.

02:11:37.000 Edge 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.

02:11:46.000 If the computer is your brain, you definitely should keep it offline.

02:11:50.000 Gotta air gap that brain. 1.00

02:11:51.000 I mean, fair enough, but... no.

02:11:55.000 What if you get a brain virus?

02:11:59.000 As in a computer virus in your brain?

02:12:00.000 Yeah.

02:12:01.000 Well, again, I'm only thinking about it for an interface.

02:12:06.000 So it's not like it's... It's actually going into your brain to like put data in?

02:12:12.000 Yeah.

02:12:13.000 You know, it's literally, it's just the... If I understand the concept correctly, they would simply use the electrodes.

02:12:21.000 So output only, basically.

02:12:23.000 So it's not like I'm like, I'm not seeing the information on my eye.

02:12:27.000 It would just literally be, I would be able to look at my screen or my phone and output it.

02:12:32.000 I guess you could hack the output.

02:12:34.000 So when you think go left, it goes right.

02:12:38.000 That might happen.

02:12:39.000 Why would it go the other direction if someone wanted like a specific outcome?

02:12:42.000 Well, then it's just the most annoying part.

02:12:44.000 It's just this irritating thing.

02:12:47.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:12:48.000 And then it's like, I suppose, like if they did do that, you're just like, son of a bitch, and you gotta think opposite. 0.99

02:12:55.000 Yeah, or like, no matter what you think, it spells out the same thing over and over again. 0.99

02:13:00.000 It's like bad autocorrect.

02:13:01.000 All right, let's see.

02:13:03.000 Sean Casey FPV says, first time super chat.

02:13:06.000 I've been watching daily for the past, for the last six months.

02:13:09.000 Love your work.

02:13:09.000 I will sub an exclusive membership if you and Phil hold a quick jam session in your exclusive hour.

02:13:15.000 We don't do a full exclusive hour, but if you ever want to jam, man, we could jam.

02:13:20.000 I mean, you're the professional career musician, so you probably got constraints.

02:13:23.000 I mean, I prefer to rehearse before performing, so it'd be something that we'd have to do.

02:13:29.000 I'd come down and hang out and do it.

02:13:32.000 Well, you should do it, man.

02:13:33.000 I don't know, if you guys ever want to come and jam, we want to do Friday Night Jams again.

02:13:36.000 That'd be sick. 0.91

02:13:37.000 Yeah, 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.

02:13:45.000 Yeah.

02:13:45.000 And 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?

02:13:50.000 Sick.

02:13:51.000 All right, let's see, Joshua Rusinski. 0.93

02:13:55.000 Alright.

02:13:55.000 Fellow former US Marine here, Semper Fi Phil, Tim I've been following you for over a year

02:14:00.000 now you guys put together great content most importantly.

02:14:03.000 Happy anniversary to my amazing girlfriend Angie.

02:14:05.000 Love you.

02:14:06.000 Josh.

02:14:08.000 Dad teaches, and words to my son says, can Smeagol say their pronouns?

02:14:13.000 Bunself wants it.

02:14:14.000 Bunself wants it! 0.97

02:14:15.000 You have a very good Smeagol.

02:14:17.000 Yeah.

02:14:18.000 It's a really good impression.

02:14:19.000 I gotta be honest, man.

02:14:20.000 I hear, like, everyone always says I do a good impersonation of no matter who I'm doing it of.

02:14:24.000 That one is good.

02:14:26.000 Who was it who was like, man, your Michael Moore was so good.

02:14:29.000 Yeah, I was like, on point with it.

02:14:31.000 I don't remember who said that.

02:14:32.000 It wasn't Malice.

02:14:33.000 I don't even remember how I did the... I was doing a Michael Moore.

02:14:36.000 I was actually just quoting Michael Moore and then turned it into an impact.

02:14:39.000 Jack Murphy, maybe?

02:14:40.000 Yeah, somebody that was sitting here.

02:14:42.000 Yeah, I can do some Eagle.

02:14:43.000 Yeah, your Michael Moore is awesome.

02:14:46.000 I don't even remember how I did it.

02:14:47.000 You gotta do a Freedom Tunes one.

02:14:48.000 You gotta do Michael Moore.

02:14:50.000 If I actually practiced, I could probably on call, like very easily do a lot of impersonations.

02:14:56.000 But usually it's like when I'm in the flow and talking and then I'm like, I want to reference something, I'll do it.

02:15:00.000 Like I was reading that when they mentioned Smeagol, I kind of just like... I think Smeagol is actually really easy.

02:15:07.000 It's like one of the easiest impersonations to do.

02:15:09.000 I can almost do it, yeah.

02:15:10.000 Yeah.

02:15:11.000 Just talk like this!

02:15:13.000 And then you gotta add a little... It's like Stitch from Lilo and Stitch.

02:15:17.000 It's weird.

02:15:17.000 I don't know.

02:15:18.000 You just like kind of close your throat while you're talking.

02:15:20.000 I didn't know that.

02:15:20.000 I don't recall Stitch talking, but I mean, I think I've seen Lilo and Stitch once.

02:15:24.000 Wasn't he just like... No, he talked.

02:15:27.000 Yeah, a little bit.

02:15:28.000 Yeah.

02:15:28.000 He sounded like Gollum.

02:15:30.000 Kevin Pilgrim says so sick. You got Phil on and taking me right back to middle school. Love Phil and all that remains

02:15:35.000 Sick Jay rich says tonight's topics are display of a left's

02:15:44.000 March to madness They turn up the heat on COVID, race, gender, etc.

02:15:48.000 What you laugh about today becomes policy tomorrow.

02:15:51.000 Where do you all draw the line?

02:15:52.000 Or will you stay in the pot until you're slowly cooked?

02:15:56.000 Uh, we're in the middle of nowhere.

02:15:58.000 Like in the mountains.

02:15:59.000 I mean, my house in New Hampshire is in the, you know, it's back in the woods.

02:16:05.000 I've got 48 acres of property and my house is in the back of the lot.

02:16:08.000 It's not on the road.

02:16:10.000 You don't accidentally onto my property.

02:16:13.000 And I got an apartment in Texas that I've been staying in that I'll be there for a while in case of Article 5.

02:16:20.000 I will draw the line with pronouns.

02:16:22.000 If you ask me to call you a pronoun, I might. 1.00

02:16:24.000 And that's up to me because I have the right to free speech.

02:16:29.000 That's a good point.

02:16:30.000 Ives D says Semper Fi Phil.

02:16:32.000 Tim, when will we start having barbecues and hangouts at the Gorilla Ranch, aka your house?

02:16:38.000 Well, we're calling it Cast Castle passively, but maybe Gorilla Ranch is better.

02:16:43.000 Gorilla Ranch.

02:16:44.000 What has Alex Jones done to my house?

02:16:47.000 Alex Jones has done nothing wrong.

02:16:49.000 Isn't it scary? 0.57

02:16:50.000 Isn't it scary how a lot of the things that Alex Jones, we thought were silly, crazy Alex Jones rants are like, wait a minute.

02:16:57.000 Why, why, why are you making Alex Jones correct?

02:17:01.000 Stop doing that.

02:17:02.000 That's making me, making me feel uncomfortable.

02:17:04.000 When Joe Rogan was like, dude, we owe that guy an apology.

02:17:08.000 He was talking about the Epstein stuff.

02:17:10.000 His dad was like super secret program guy.

02:17:12.000 So he would, he grew up at the kitchen table hearing like, you know, Navy secrets and stuff.

02:17:18.000 I mean, stop making Alex Jones write.

02:17:23.000 Please, world.

02:17:24.000 All right, we'll do a couple more because we went a little bit over.

02:17:27.000 But we have Eraserhead says, Phil, please, please, please introduce Tim to Andrew Wilko.

02:17:34.000 I've listened to your interviews on the Wilko majority for years, and I would love to hear Tim have a conversation with him.

02:17:40.000 Love you, based Beanie Bros.

02:17:42.000 I'm not familiar with who that is.

02:17:44.000 Andrew does a show on XM Patriot.

02:17:47.000 He's a friend.

02:17:49.000 And he's a conservative, libertarian-minded conservative.

02:17:53.000 He's definitely more conservative than I am.

02:17:56.000 I mean, I'm very, very libertarian.

02:18:01.000 I'm open borders libertarian, generally, if we can end the...

02:18:04.000 If we can end the welfare state, then I would be down with open borders.

02:18:08.000 Okay.

02:18:09.000 And Andrew's more conservative than I am, but yeah, he's a great guy.

02:18:13.000 He's really, really nice.

02:18:15.000 We get along.

02:18:16.000 He's into metal.

02:18:16.000 He comes out to shows and we play at Starland Ballroom and stuff like that.

02:18:19.000 Oh, cool.

02:18:19.000 He's a good dude.

02:18:23.000 Zeke Weiss says, Phil, my sister Rae used to work merch for you guys.

02:18:27.000 She was devastated when she found out about Ali's death.

02:18:30.000 She saw him and the rest of you as good friends.

02:18:31.000 She is doing fine.

02:18:32.000 Hope the same for the band.

02:18:34.000 I hope she's doing well.

02:18:36.000 And we were all pretty devastated when we found out about Ali, so.

02:18:41.000 So we'll just do one more here.

02:18:43.000 Matthew Conley says, sorry Phil, I'm more of a disturbed guy with music.

02:18:46.000 Even though their lead singer is Libertarian, you're the one spreading their message outside their music.

02:18:51.000 That's right.

02:18:52.000 I mean, it's probably not exactly a great idea because people that strongly disagree tend to have a strong reaction.

02:19:01.000 And the media, the metal media, is like the rest of the media.

02:19:06.000 Really?

02:19:07.000 Oh yeah.

02:19:08.000 Very, very.

02:19:10.000 Some of the most influential blogs are dudes with sickles and hammers in their names.

02:19:16.000 Woke metal.

02:19:18.000 It seems so weird to me.

02:19:19.000 It is weird.

02:19:21.000 Yeah, 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.

02:19:40.000 And for some reason, I thought that these wouldn't be all that controversial of takes, but apparently they are, you know?

02:19:46.000 It's weird, weird times, man.

02:19:48.000 It is.

02:19:49.000 And don't forget to add Second Amendment.

02:19:50.000 Yeah, you know, I mean, Moulin LeVe, you know, right on my arm, so... Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for hanging out.
