Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Bomb Squad Deployed To Our Studio, that and news stuff w-Luke Rosiak

00:00:04.000 It's kind of a weird news day.

00:00:06.000 We got reports that Saudi Arabia may be secretly negotiating with China to sell oil in the yuan, which could threaten the US's position as the reserve currency, and then make all of your prices skyrocket.

00:00:18.000 Saudi Arabia denies it, but they're also inviting Xi Jinping down to the country.

00:00:23.000 They've also rejected a phone call from Joe Biden, which was so embarrassing that even Trevor Noah made fun of him, and somewhat kind of defended Trump, saying it would never happen to him.

00:00:32.000 It's kind of a weird, weird time, man, and everything just keeps getting weirder.

00:00:36.000 We got a bunch of other stories just around this, and, you know, Idaho has just, what is it, Idaho did that abortion ban at six weeks, I think, right?

00:00:43.000 Beautiful.

00:00:44.000 Yeah, I'm not exactly sure if it was six weeks.

00:00:45.000 We were just talking about this story.

00:00:47.000 That's huge.

00:00:48.000 And with the potential ruling from the Supreme Court over Roe v. Wade or the impact on Roe v. Wade, it's going to be substantial.

00:00:53.000 Then we've got BuzzFeed is suing because a bunch of the employees got left holding worthless stock because, you know, BuzzFeed is worthless.

00:01:01.000 But of course, uh, oh, I'm sorry, there's another big story too.

00:01:04.000 Uh, Project Veritas has just published footage of the FBI raid on their journalists' homes, which we're definitely gonna get into as well.

00:01:10.000 But, uh, some people, you know, when we initially put this video up, the title was different, then it was changed and it was changed, and I'm just like, you know, man...

00:01:18.000 I'm gonna level with everybody.

00:01:20.000 We changed the title.

00:01:21.000 I was out of frustration, and I was like, okay, the bomb squad's here.

00:01:24.000 I'm done with it.

00:01:24.000 There, I'm done.

00:01:25.000 Because we've been dealing with that, and it's kind of cut into our normal prep time.

00:01:29.000 And that's right, the bomb squad is here.

00:01:31.000 They're currently still here, and they're dealing with issues.

00:01:35.000 And I kind of just thought, you know, we were like, we shouldn't talk about what's going on with these, you know, swattings and things like that. 0.99

00:01:42.000 And then I was like, if this was any other outlet or personality, we'd be all over this story.

00:01:47.000 We'd be talking about the threats, the violence, the escalation.

00:01:49.000 But because it's us, we just like, oh no, don't bring it up.

00:01:52.000 And I'm kind of like, I don't know, maybe we shouldn't.

00:01:54.000 So there's kind of a halfway point where there's some things we just can't talk about for law enforcement reasons.

00:02:00.000 But we'll get into a little bit about that, I guess, just to give everyone an update on what's happening to the best of our abilities, you know, and explain why I decided ultimately that we probably should talk about it.

00:02:10.000 So we'll do that.

00:02:12.000 Joining us today to talk about this and much more is Luke Rosiak.

00:02:14.000 Do you want to introduce yourself?

00:02:16.000 Sure.

00:02:17.000 It's great to be with you guys.

00:02:18.000 Big fan of the show.

00:02:19.000 I'm a Daily Wire investigative journalist.

00:02:22.000 I cover schools lately.

00:02:24.000 Done a bunch of stuff, but lately I've been doing schools.

00:02:26.000 I'm the guy that broke the Loudoun County.

00:02:28.000 A lot of the stories that made Loudoun County go kind of national, including the cover-up of the rape.

00:02:34.000 And I'm just out with a whole new book on schools called Race to the Bottom.

00:02:37.000 So I've kind of become somehow the schools guy.

00:02:39.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:02:40.000 I mean, this story is huge.

00:02:42.000 I think your story actually changed who the governor is, basically.

00:02:45.000 Yeah, it's been crazy to see all the parents waking up.

00:02:49.000 I mean, we're in a period of really, I think, historical upheaval in this country politically, where the dynamics are changing.

00:02:56.000 You've got the Asians coming out because they're all worked up about the schools issues. 1.00

00:03:00.000 You've got traditional Democrats who would have voted for Bill Clinton.

00:03:03.000 And now they're like, if this is the Democratic Party now that wants to get rid of math magnet schools, they're voting for Youngkin.

00:03:09.000 So, you know, change is afoot.

00:03:11.000 So this will be interesting.

00:03:11.000 Thanks for coming, man.

00:03:12.000 We also got Seamus.

00:03:13.000 Yeah, great to be here.

00:03:14.000 Also, thank you for the work you're doing.

00:03:15.000 I'm really excited to dig into some of this.

00:03:17.000 It's very important.

00:03:19.000 And I am the creator of Freedom Tunes, and so I'm obviously going to be promoting that.

00:03:24.000 Also promoting prayer in light of current events.

00:03:34.000 And then I am also here.

00:03:35.000 It's been a very exciting evening.

00:04:17.000 Let's just talk about the security issue real quick as kind of the introduction.

00:04:21.000 So I don't want to give specific details on why or what's happening.

00:04:26.000 Yeah.

00:04:26.000 So far.

00:04:26.000 Yeah.

00:04:26.000 As many of you know, I think out of all of the shows in politics, we may be the most swatted of 2022.

00:04:32.000 Yeah, six, six so far. It's crossed state lines. The latest incident that we're dealing with now,

00:04:38.000 the bomb squad. Ah.

00:04:41.000 It was a surprise to me. I go outside and I see a bunch of vehicles pulling up and then I see a guy get out.

00:04:47.000 He's got a shirt that says bomb squad on it. And I was like, oh, the bomb squad's at my house.

00:04:50.000 And, you know, I can't say exactly what happened, but it's effectively a swatting. Not the exact same thing.

00:04:58.000 And, man, I got to be careful about some of the details.

00:05:02.000 There's a lot to say, but maybe I can't actually say it.

00:05:05.000 There's concerns, obviously, when we talk about these security issues pertaining to swattings or otherwise, that if we highlight it, it encourages it, and we've had police tell us that before, and I'm like, you're right, you know, and so some of these instances, we've not really talked about that much.

00:05:20.000 The other concern is that Making sure people are aware of what's going on is important for the safety and security in a similar sense.

00:05:29.000 I would hate to have something happen that would be unbelievable confusing or just... I don't know how to exactly explain it.

00:05:37.000 My concern was...

00:05:39.000 You know, if something keeps happening, and we ignore it, and people don't know it's happening, and then something serious happens, it'll take everyone by surprise.

00:05:46.000 Maybe we should be like, hey, put a tag in this, something's happening, we're having security issues.

00:05:51.000 People should know it's happening.

00:05:52.000 But most importantly, before the show, we were trying to figure out how to title what was going on

00:05:56.000 and talk about what's going on.

00:05:57.000 I was just, like I said this a moment ago, if this was any other outlet, if it was Crowder,

00:06:02.000 if it was the Daily Wire, if it was the New York Times, we would be talking about it for a half an hour.

00:06:07.000 We'd be exploring who did it, and we can't even get into a lot of those core details.

00:06:10.000 So other than that, I just, when we were trying to figure out what our lead story was,

00:06:17.000 usually we're up in the studio, we're sitting here, we're talking.

00:06:20.000 This time we were out in front with a bunch of cops and I'm assuming feds and stuff like that.

00:06:24.000 And so we didn't have the same kind of ease of prep work and understanding we normally get to do.

00:06:29.000 And so we're trying to figure out, you know, do we lead with this story?

00:06:32.000 Oh, no, no. 0.99

00:06:33.000 We put one up that was like, Joe Biden sucks. 1.00

00:06:35.000 And we were like, he does. 0.99

00:06:36.000 And we want to talk about those things.

00:06:37.000 But then it was just like, it's an opinion statement.

00:06:39.000 And it's just like, Well, we have the story from James O'Keefe, but he didn't actually upload the video yet.

00:06:44.000 And I'm like, oh, did I just accidentally, you know, break his story before him?

00:06:47.000 So I'm like, we got to change it.

00:06:48.000 I'm like, you know, the bomb squad's here.

00:06:49.000 Yeah.

00:06:50.000 I can't deal with this.

00:06:51.000 I find it's like the balance of as a weird internet celebrity, whatever you call this weird new genre of like, you're a creator, your personality is your character.

00:07:00.000 You got to balance out your own mental health with the journalistic integrity of documenting your life so that people know in the future like what you went through and so they know what to expect if they're going to try and reproduce what you're doing.

00:07:11.000 Sometimes talking about the bad things that happen to you is bad for your mental health and you have to just let it fly.

00:07:16.000 Let it go.

00:07:17.000 As we talk about, you know, the conflict in this country and the culture war and stuff, I'm also kind of concerned that we would omit relevant news in this space because it's happening to us.

00:07:26.000 I don't know if you guys, what your thoughts are on that.

00:07:29.000 Because there's the self-interest thing where we've had the cop be like, don't tell anyone this happened because it'll make it worse.

00:07:36.000 And I'm like, yeah.

00:07:38.000 But if there's a New York Times journalist outside filming all of this, they'd post that online in two seconds and tell everybody what was happening regardless of our security or otherwise.

00:07:46.000 And it would be a major topic of conversation about the escalation and what's happening with these political conversations, with censorship, with violence and things like that.

00:07:54.000 Yeah, no, it's a tough call.

00:07:56.000 I can't tell you one way or the other.

00:07:58.000 I think that you have total control over the information here, at least with respect to whether it gets out.

00:08:04.000 I mean, we don't really have anyone else from the New York Times filming this.

00:08:07.000 Obviously, things can get out either way just because of people telling their family members about what's happening, things along those lines.

00:08:14.000 Yeah, I'm not sure man.

00:08:16.000 It is a tough call.

00:08:17.000 I think it makes sense.

00:08:18.000 On some level it makes sense to talk about it just because people should know the danger that is present in discussing these issues publicly.

00:08:27.000 Or how psychotic people have become.

00:08:28.000 And how psychotic people have become as well.

00:08:30.000 And I think they should also know that having any kind of public political platform does come at a cost.

00:08:37.000 And I'm not saying that so that people can be You know, more careful and more afraid to speak out about their values when they need to.

00:08:46.000 It's actually the exact opposite, to embolden them and have them say, these maniacs cannot intimidate us into silence.

00:08:53.000 Yeah, especially when there's lots of people doing it together.

00:08:55.000 When people start speaking out together, it's like you can't whack all the moles at once. 1.00

00:08:58.000 You just give up at that point.

00:09:00.000 The moles own the garden. 1.00

00:09:01.000 Luke, you've done a bunch of stories that have really riled a lot of people up.

00:09:04.000 I'm curious if you've dealt with similar stuff or if you have thoughts on Yeah, I think there's a lot of keyboard warriors online that want to intimidate and there's a lot of people and this is not what you're doing.

00:09:14.000 What happened to you is serious.

00:09:15.000 It's happened a number of times.

00:09:17.000 A lot of journalists want to play victim.

00:09:19.000 You know, someone got a death threat and it's like some guy like sending you a DM on Twitter. 0.97

00:09:23.000 You know, like, I wish you were dead.

00:09:25.000 Like, all right, that's not a credible threat. 0.87

00:09:27.000 Right.

00:09:27.000 But when you look at what's happened with January 6th, there's been like all these long magazine articles like the journalists are having to go to therapy.

00:09:33.000 And I think what you've dealt with is objectively probably more serious than those journalists that were there for essentially a riot.

00:09:40.000 That's a good point, and it's a big component of how I'm feeling when they're saying, like, don't tell people this is happening.

00:09:45.000 And I'm like, we just had that story from Project Veritas.

00:09:48.000 I don't know if you guys saw it, where the journalist was like, you are not traumatized by January 6th.

00:09:54.000 You know, did you see this video where he's basically saying, like, you are out there having fun.

00:09:58.000 You are not worried.

00:10:00.000 And the Democrat narrative on January 6th is like the violent insurrection.

00:10:04.000 The journalist narrative on everything they do is like, every day I wake up and someone sends me mean words.

00:10:10.000 Yeah.

00:10:10.000 And then it's like, we actually have, we were swatted six times.

00:10:15.000 Now we've had an incident where the bomb squad's been deployed and, you know, I don't want to, I can't go into details, but there, there is a reason for why they're deployed.

00:10:22.000 It wasn't, it wasn't the same as a swatting, like something actually happened.

00:10:25.000 We have to be careful about discussing the full details.

00:10:28.000 But, it caught, it caught, whatever happened was serious enough where they actually called reinforcements.

00:10:33.000 So like, I'm actually worried we're gonna hear, you know, the house shake or something like that.

00:10:39.000 Like, there may actually be something about to happen.

00:10:41.000 Well, that's why I'm asking people to pray.

00:10:43.000 I mean, if you pray the rosary, pray the rosary, but just prayer in general would be very, very appreciated.

00:10:47.000 There's not really an instruction manual for this kind of career path, so I think this is just par for the course, probably.

00:10:53.000 It's just a matter of having a precaution set up, like, perimeters set up where things get Looked at and inspected on their way in so that we don't come to a point where we have to.

00:11:02.000 Yeah, security is insane.

00:11:03.000 We're getting crazy with it.

00:11:05.000 I'll also say this.

00:11:06.000 I definitely understand the argument that it could be dangerous to speak out about this to some extent because then you incentivize copycat criminals or you embolden the person who's doing it in the first place.

00:11:15.000 But as you've mentioned, we are living in an era of crocodile tears.

00:11:18.000 And I think it's important for people to see people who actually are put in a situation of danger not falling apart and losing it because they want to score cheap political points with their hysteria.

00:11:28.000 Well, I'm just, you know, shouldn't the New York Times have talked about any one of these major instances where we got swatted like live on air?

00:11:37.000 What's in it for them?

00:11:38.000 Right, right.

00:11:39.000 And so what I kind of see here is you'll hear the narrative from the corporate journalists about how they're so oppressed.

00:11:44.000 But they obviously have disdain for us.

00:11:46.000 They don't care about us.

00:11:48.000 You know, what happens to us is not news to these big corporate entities, but whatever happens to them is.

00:11:53.000 Yeah, I mean, you're a journalist who's literally being attacked, as are the people around you.

00:11:56.000 As is James O'Keefe.

00:11:57.000 As is James O'Keefe, exactly.

00:11:58.000 And so, you know, it's funny how, if you are outside the establishment, it's clear.

00:12:02.000 There's two different worlds here.

00:12:05.000 Those who are actually resisting, those who are actually standing up for the individual or for rights, and those who are shills for corporations, those who are shills for themselves or grifting.

00:12:14.000 Do you think there are elite, people that are elite, that are actually trying to help the individuals and not shilling for corporations?

00:12:20.000 Yeah.

00:12:21.000 So you can be elite and not be a shill? 0.75

00:12:23.000 Bro, I mean, like, we're a big company.

00:12:25.000 We make a lot of money.

00:12:26.000 Like, I was asking James O'Keefe, what are the elite?

00:12:26.000 You know what I mean?

00:12:29.000 And he was like, elite are the people that will never get in trouble for what they did.

00:12:33.000 That's a horrible way of spaying the truth to me, Shane.

00:12:37.000 Thanks.

00:12:38.000 But can those people that never get in trouble be good people too?

00:12:41.000 That's what I'm wondering.

00:12:42.000 Like, or are they just kind of ousted like Elon Musk?

00:12:44.000 He's definitely wealthy enough to be in that group, but is he accepted in that group?

00:12:47.000 Cause he's not a sociopath.

00:12:48.000 At least doesn't seem to be.

00:12:49.000 That's an interesting question.

00:12:50.000 I mean, they say absolute power can corrupt absolutely.

00:12:53.000 So it's difficult to find people in that kind of a position who have the integrity to behave decently, but I'm sure there are some.

00:12:59.000 That's promising.

00:13:01.000 Yeah, there's, look, you can look at Donald Trump and especially with what's been going on, uh, earlier today, I'm looking at all the news and I'm like thinking like, man, what is the lead story?

00:13:10.000 You got, you've got Russia sanctioning Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden and Hunter Biden.

00:13:14.000 And I'm like, that's, that's interesting, but does it really matter?

00:13:17.000 Is it, you know, then you've got some crazed, you know, some angry, I shouldn't say crazed, but some angry TV host in Russia saying someone should tell the U.S.

00:13:25.000 you give us back our money or you get the tactical or strategic, your choice, which is in reference to nuclear strike against us.

00:13:31.000 And then I'm like, but he's just some guy on TV.

00:13:32.000 I mean, he's just some guy waving his arms.

00:13:35.000 And then I saw someone tweeted about Trevor Noah.

00:13:39.000 Ian Miles Chong tweeted about Trevor Noah because he was saying it makes no sense that they're doing the Vax mandates in New York now because Kyrie Irving couldn't play, but he could go and hug the players as a fan.

00:13:50.000 It's the craziest thing ever.

00:13:52.000 And then I just thought to myself like, man, Joe Biden really is like the worst president we've ever had, isn't he?

00:13:56.000 And then I'm like, well, Woodrow Wilson, he was bad too though.

00:13:59.000 Yeah, we were talking about this before the show and it's a complicated question because even though I really didn't like Obama or Clinton, I definitely didn't think W was the best.

00:14:06.000 If someone asked me who's the worst president, I probably would have pointed to Woodrow Wilson.

00:14:10.000 But there is something about having a person in the Oval Office who literally cannot speak.

00:14:15.000 That makes me reconsider that position, or want to reconsider that position.

00:14:18.000 Biden could be the worst president we've ever had, and I don't say that lightly.

00:14:20.000 Oh, for sure.

00:14:22.000 Being a bad president can take different ways.

00:14:24.000 He could be a private sociopath that uses the law to bend it to his will. 0.99

00:14:29.000 That's a horrible president. 0.99

00:14:31.000 But then you get the demented human that can't function properly, that doesn't speak. 1.00

00:14:35.000 That's a bad... I mean, in my opinion, that's more dangerous.

00:14:38.000 I'd rather have an authoritative psychopath that at least is going to help the country function.

00:14:44.000 It's fascinating to see that even people like Bill Maher and Trevor Noah, who would never give Donald Trump a single good day, not even after he took out the leader of ISIS.

00:14:50.000 They still, they called him an austere scholar.

00:14:51.000 They would not give Trump the credit.

00:14:52.000 So first we have a story, I'll just show this real quick, what we're gonna get into, Trevor Noah ripping Joe Biden's

00:14:57.000 from a few days ago.

00:14:58.000 But I think it's fascinating to see that even people like Bill Maher and Trevor Noah,

00:15:02.000 who would never give Donald Trump a single good day, not even after he took out the leader of ISIS.

00:15:07.000 They still, they called him an austere scholar.

00:15:09.000 They would not give Trump the credit.

00:15:11.000 You know, something seems to be changing, but right now we're dealing with a president in Joe Biden

00:15:17.000 that I believe could be presiding over the collapse dominance around the world, the end of U.S.

00:15:23.000 imperialism, whatever you want to call it.

00:15:25.000 And, you know, Ian, you mentioned just previously that you'd rather have an authoritarian psychopath who's making the country work than someone like Biden.

00:15:32.000 But no, let's explore that.

00:15:34.000 I mean, is it better to have someone who cracks the whip but fixes the problem or someone who sits back as everything bursts into flames and falls apart?

00:15:42.000 Who also happens to be an authoritarian psychopath on top of that? 0.74

00:15:47.000 Well, then it's obvious. 0.96

00:15:49.000 My patience is running thin. 0.59

00:15:51.000 Extremism in either of those directions is a bad thing, I would think, because you don't want someone so authoritarian psycho like Hitler that will just mobilize and take and conquer, but you don't want someone that's so checked out like Biden that he can't say words properly or even give a State of the Union.

00:16:06.000 He couldn't do it.

00:16:07.000 He just gave a campaign speech.

00:16:08.000 He couldn't give a State of the Union because he didn't know what the State of the Union is.

00:16:11.000 He was like slurring his words the whole time.

00:16:14.000 I worked on his facelift.

00:16:16.000 I mean, did you see the bingo thing we did, Luke?

00:16:20.000 No.

00:16:20.000 We had like a bingo cards for the State of the Union.

00:16:23.000 And one of them was like, if Joe Biden uses a fake word.

00:16:27.000 But he kept slurring so much and stuttering that we're like did that count as a fake word or not?

00:16:32.000 You know saying like to do to trade to traders.

00:16:35.000 We're like Meanwhile when Trump did that like he was tweeting and he there was some obvious autocomplete and they made fun of him for like three years Yeah, that was great.

00:16:47.000 But the problem is really, I mean, Biden can't speak.

00:16:49.000 First of all, Trump had an odd manner of speaking.

00:16:51.000 It wouldn't be hard to find someone that could just speak in normal English.

00:16:55.000 And they managed to not do that.

00:16:57.000 But if Biden totally keels over and we've got Kamala Harris, she can't speak either. 1.00

00:17:01.000 I mean, being able to speak English is like the lowest possible qualification.

00:17:05.000 Yeah, she's got the nervous.

00:17:06.000 We talked about this before the show a little bit, like the nervousness where like, if I let myself be who I really am, I'm going to say something wrong.

00:17:12.000 I'm going to say something horrible.

00:17:13.000 We don't know who any of these people are.

00:17:15.000 Biden is clearly not in charge of the country, but who is?

00:17:18.000 And it's the same thing with Kamala.

00:17:19.000 Who is behind the scenes?

00:17:21.000 Here's my favorite quote from Kamala.

00:17:23.000 It is time for us to do what we have been doing.

00:17:25.000 And that time is every day.

00:17:27.000 Every day it is time for us to agree that there are things and tools that are available to us to slow this thing down.

00:17:32.000 Sounds like the Arthur theme song.

00:17:34.000 The title of this article from thecut.com is, come again, come on?

00:17:37.000 Oh, right on.

00:17:39.000 She can't talk either.

00:17:40.000 It's like that article where it's like, Trump did something in a bathtub no one knows about, maybe, but we don't have any evidence.

00:17:45.000 No, no, an elevator.

00:17:46.000 Yeah, an elevator.

00:17:47.000 You ever see that article from the Huffington Post?

00:17:49.000 No.

00:17:50.000 Trump did something somewhere.

00:17:52.000 What he did, we don't know.

00:17:53.000 Who was there, we're not sure, but it's the holy grail.

00:17:57.000 And I'm like, wait, what?

00:17:59.000 It's hysterical. 0.78

00:18:00.000 But even this article, Trevor Noah ripping Joe Biden and saying Donald Trump would have been better is really significant because to these people on the left, Trump is literally Hitler.

00:18:13.000 And even if he doesn't necessarily feel that way, his audience sure does.

00:18:17.000 So for him to be willing to say, let me give points to the person who my side has literally been referring to as Hitler for years and years, because the current president is doing so poorly, doesn't really say good things for Joe Biden.

00:18:30.000 So let me quick just jump back to this Yahoo story, right?

00:18:33.000 Trevor Noah rips Biden over Saudi UAE phone snub report would have never happened to Donald Trump.

00:18:38.000 You, uh, so this is like finally now, I'm surprised to hear this from Trevor Noah.

00:18:44.000 I want to show you why this is so surprising.

00:18:46.000 We have this tweet from the Huffington Post.

00:18:47.000 My favorite.

00:18:48.000 A tape might exist of Trump doing something in an elevator.

00:18:51.000 Though exactly where that somewhere is and what that something might be, no one in media can say.

00:18:57.000 That's because no one in media seems to have seen the tape or is even confident it exists.

00:19:01.000 Oh my gosh!

00:19:02.000 This is...

00:19:04.000 Trevor, as an investigative journalist, how do you feel about that headline?

00:19:08.000 I think we might see an ex-Pulitzer Prize winner.

00:19:10.000 Yeah, that's pretty good, yeah.

00:19:11.000 Yeah, how much would I bet they did win one?

00:19:13.000 I'm sure.

00:19:14.000 Look at that image of Trump's face, too.

00:19:16.000 This is amazing.

00:19:17.000 Who's Maxwell Strachan?

00:19:19.000 Is that someone chasing him in Trump Tower?

00:19:20.000 And they're like, Trump, Trump!

00:19:22.000 And then he wouldn't look at him, but they took the picture anyway.

00:19:24.000 Yeah.

00:19:25.000 So it's crazy that In their hysteria, they created an idea of something that didn't exist.

00:19:31.000 They didn't define what that idea was.

00:19:33.000 This article really does embody, we hate Trump for no reason.

00:19:37.000 Now you have these liberal pundits coming out and being like, maybe Trump, you know, wasn't so bad. 0.80

00:19:44.000 So what really just, man, I'm so, I got a headache and everything, and I'm just like, all of these people that were screaming, we have to stop Donald Trump, he's an egomaniac, he's a fascist, and now we are dealing with quite possibly the worst administration we've ever seen in the history of this country.

00:20:01.000 Maybe you can argue Woodrow Wilson was worse for a lot of reasons, maybe Buchanan, pre-Civil War, but right now, The US, there's a lot of things happening in terms of soaring gas prices, inflation, manipulation, lies, escalating war.

00:20:15.000 You know, I saw a leftist post on Facebook, they said, they were basically saying, why didn't we enact a no-fly zone before the war even started?

00:20:23.000 When it was Ukrainian airspace and Ukraine had the right to agree to the United States and say we could do it, that would have forced Russia to break our, you know, red line.

00:20:31.000 And I thought it was an interesting point because if Joe Biden knew all of this was happening, if Ukraine and everybody knew Russia was going to do this, then we could have gone in and secured it before the war even started.

00:20:41.000 And it would have been incumbent upon Russia to be the ones to aggress against NATO, not the other way around.

00:20:45.000 You look at Afghanistan and Bagram Air Force Base, all of it is basically just failures of intelligence, failures to act or do anything that would prevent war.

00:20:53.000 Now, I suppose you can argue they must really, really want war.

00:20:56.000 But when I kind of look at everything the Biden administration has done, I'm thinking, you know what, maybe they're just... maybe incompetent is an understatement.

00:21:03.000 Yeah.

00:21:03.000 Well, I mean, drawing a line in the sand there and stating a no-fly zone prior to Russia invading, regardless of whether you think that would be a good idea, is an idea which would require actual decision-making and leadership, and he's not capable of that.

00:21:18.000 He's the worst military commander I've ever seen in the United States.

00:21:22.000 You know, the downside of his age is obviously his senility, but the upside is he should be more moored to the Democratic Party before it took this illiberal turn, which is very, very dangerous, where they're just kind of, you know, they've turned against the First Amendment, they've turned against neutrality under the law, the younger generation has.

00:21:40.000 But Bill Maher, What he's saying is no surprise, because he's a guy of a certain age.

00:21:44.000 He remembers the Democratic Party of 20 years ago, which is a reasonable party.

00:21:49.000 Biden knows full well he is a part of that party, and yet he doesn't have the spine to stand up against the young woke mob.

00:21:57.000 Yeah, when Bill Kristol, I don't know the guy personally, but he was a big part of, like, orchestrating the Iraq war with the Bush administration.

00:22:03.000 He's basically... What people have told me is that all those neocons now are just in the Democratic Party.

00:22:09.000 They just... It's the war party, basically, and whatever you want to slap D or R on it doesn't matter, because they're all administrative states.

00:22:15.000 Well, and it's interesting, because people like the Cheneys, I mean, they were part of the war party, and now they're essentially Democrats, or at least Les Cheney is.

00:22:22.000 Yeah.

00:22:22.000 That's wild.

00:22:24.000 Yeah, well, I mean, they see that that's a party full of people who are much more likely to comply with whatever you tell them.

00:22:30.000 Yeah.

00:22:32.000 Well, Joe Biden's behavior really makes me think that he's certainly not the one pulling the strings, which generally makes me wonder what's actually going on.

00:22:39.000 Because it's obviously not Kamala, because I've said this before on Twitter and I got roasted for it, but I think that she knows she's out of place.

00:22:44.000 She knows she's out of her depth.

00:22:46.000 Listening to her explanation of the invasion of Ukraine, she's like, Russia's a big country.

00:22:50.000 Ukraine's a little country.

00:22:52.000 And Russia went into Ukraine.

00:22:54.000 That's bad.

00:22:54.000 I was like, are you serious?

00:22:56.000 But she was talking to a black radio station, which is like, it's one of the most racist things I've ever seen. 0.62

00:23:02.000 I couldn't make up my mind. I was like either she's being super racist or she just says no idea what you're talking 0.64

00:23:06.000 Yeah, but is it is it easier? I mean is it simpler to just say no one has the strings?

00:23:06.000 about.

00:23:11.000 You know, yeah, my view of things has been that Joe Biden is in charge, but everyone knows he's asleep.

00:23:17.000 Even Trevor Noah in that segment was like Biden's in bed by 4 p.m.

00:23:22.000 So it's hard for him to schedule phone calls with Saudi Arabia who's eight hours ahead.

00:23:25.000 I mean, it's a good joke.

00:23:27.000 But so is it like the chief of staff, like Rob Klain or whatever?

00:23:30.000 Is that the guy that's running the country?

00:23:31.000 What's his name?

00:23:32.000 No, I think, I think they're all sitting at the table and Joe Biden's sitting there and they all sit down and they're like, okay, Joe, you know, what's going on?

00:23:39.000 And he's like, turn it on a shower of pressure.

00:23:42.000 And then like Kamala looks at Rob and they just like, Okay, so what's the agenda?

00:23:49.000 And he's like, come on, man.

00:23:51.000 Yeah, the president.

00:23:52.000 And then they just get up and leave.

00:23:53.000 And they're like, well, we have no agenda.

00:23:54.000 We have no plans.

00:23:55.000 The president fell asleep.

00:23:56.000 Let's go bowling.

00:23:56.000 Let's go.

00:23:57.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:23:58.000 If the president gives no orders, they can do whatever they want, basically, until they're told to stop.

00:24:02.000 Or there's nothing, there's no nucleus.

00:24:06.000 It is, or at the very least, it's a damaged nucleus.

00:24:08.000 Joe Biden, you know, a super chat, someone said, Kofifi, David, he says, Kofifi was my favorite word until I witnessed the magic of truning on a shop at a pressure.

00:24:17.000 That's true.

00:24:18.000 I mean, think about Trump had to accidentally tweet a word and everyone went nuts.

00:24:22.000 Biden actually took the energy to say a much, much longer and more absurd word.

00:24:29.000 More than once, too. 0.95

00:24:36.000 He's not just an empty suit, he's worse than that.

00:24:39.000 He's really worse than that.

00:24:40.000 There is something very sad about the fact that this country has become so divided and hyper-partisan because of the encroaching far-leftism that has hijacked the minds of the Democratic Party.

00:24:50.000 Many of the American people, especially the right wing, have started moving to the left.

00:24:54.000 and it's gotten to the point where you don't even really get to consider whether someone's

00:24:58.000 going to be a good leader when you elect them. You're just looking at their policies. And so

00:25:03.000 the Democrats were not concerned with whether Joe Biden would be the right person to lead this

00:25:07.000 country. They just said, well, he's not Trump. And they picked him on that basis.

00:25:10.000 There's a story right now. The White House called in a bunch of tick tockers.

00:25:13.000 Yeah. And.

00:25:14.000 Call in the big guns.

00:25:16.000 I feel bad for the tick tockers. 1.00

00:25:17.000 There's like some 18 year old woman who's got like 10 million followers and I watched her video and she was just like gas is high because Vladimir Putin and I'm like, she's literally just quoting Jen Psaki.

00:25:27.000 And I feel so bad for her because she's clearly well-intentioned.

00:25:30.000 Like I'm going to help my followers.

00:25:32.000 You know, I see these TikTokers and these are people who do like entertainment content. 1.00

00:25:35.000 If they're willing to take time out of their day to actually address serious political issues, that's actually a really good thing.

00:25:40.000 But when they're being manipulated by the White House to push lies, to prop up a guy who's gutting the system that they live under and making their lives worse, I'm like, that's just sickening.

00:25:49.000 Yeah, they're willingly taking part in propaganda.

00:25:51.000 No, but they don't know better, right?

00:25:53.000 So look, we can say the path to hell is paved with good intentions, but I think the issue is you're on TikTok.

00:25:59.000 You film videos of you doing makeup and hanging out with your dog and you get 10 million followers or whatever.

00:26:03.000 And then along comes who you think is the authority who's got your back because you don't know better.

00:26:08.000 And they're like, here's what's happening.

00:26:09.000 And you go, I better tell my followers about this so I can help them.

00:26:12.000 I can respect the good intentions.

00:26:15.000 I don't fault an 18-year-old kid for being lied to.

00:26:18.000 I blame the White House for lying to them and manipulating all of these young people.

00:26:21.000 What I think is weird, though, is I assume these are attempts to reach, quote, the youth.

00:26:24.000 And these are young TikTokers. 1.00

00:26:26.000 And they're just kind of echoing, like, what the man tells you.

00:26:30.000 And I thought, you know, growing up, I thought part of being a young person was being rebellious.

00:26:35.000 And they're just kind of just regurgitating whatever the government tells them to.

00:26:35.000 Yep.

00:26:40.000 I wonder if young people still have that spirit of, you know, rebellion.

00:26:44.000 Yeah, I mean, some of them.

00:26:47.000 I mean, maybe the reality is most young people weren't rebellious.

00:26:50.000 Just some of them were.

00:26:51.000 The people who went on to become leaders and challenging the system, innovating and disrupting, they were rebels.

00:26:59.000 But I think most people probably aren't.

00:27:00.000 They're probably just conformists.

00:27:01.000 I wasn't very rebellious.

00:27:03.000 I had to learn to rebel.

00:27:04.000 I had to kind of teach myself how when I learned how corrupted the system had become, like, in 2007.

00:27:08.000 I was like, wow, I really have to—I can't just live under this boot even though I'm really wealthy.

00:27:13.000 Do you guys remember when Casey Neistat endorsed Hillary Clinton?

00:27:18.000 So, yeah.

00:27:19.000 It's 2016.

00:27:19.000 He's one of the biggest YouTubers.

00:27:21.000 He's got five and a half million subs at the time.

00:27:22.000 Now it's way bigger.

00:27:24.000 And I think he's, like, semi-retired.

00:27:25.000 I'm not sure.

00:27:25.000 He doesn't really produce as much as he used to.

00:27:27.000 And he made a video where it's like his channel is about travel and adventure, and then all of a sudden he's talking about Hillary Clinton, and he said it's because this election wasn't about politics, it was about one egomaniac and his quest for power or something like that, and that Hillary Clinton was the only person who could beat Trump.

00:27:43.000 And I was like, Casey, who told you that?

00:27:46.000 Because that's politics, and you were lied to.

00:27:48.000 And it's provable.

00:27:49.000 Hillary Clinton could not beat Trump.

00:27:51.000 She lost to him.

00:27:52.000 And it was so bad, they didn't try to bring her back for round two.

00:27:55.000 She was in fact the one person who could lose to Trump.

00:27:58.000 Because I'm pretty sure they could have brought in almost anybody and probably beaten Trump.

00:28:01.000 But Hillary was absolutely despised. 1.00

00:28:03.000 So they go to these influencers, people like Casey, who don't know anything about politics.

00:28:07.000 And I don't mean that in any way disrespectfully.

00:28:09.000 He's not a political guy.

00:28:10.000 They tell him, here's the thing, and he goes, OK, I'm going to go say that.

00:28:13.000 And he was completely and utterly wrong.

00:28:15.000 He's come out later saying it was a mistake and he shouldn't have done it.

00:28:18.000 And he's right.

00:28:19.000 Trump ended up being actually a really good president.

00:28:22.000 Bad in some ways, for sure.

00:28:23.000 Nobody's perfect.

00:28:25.000 But setting a timeline for getting out of Afghanistan, trying to get out of Syria, best numbers of our lives in terms of economics in 2019.

00:28:32.000 A lot of good things under Trump.

00:28:34.000 He was jammed up by the neocons and the neoliberal establishment.

00:28:38.000 They had scandal after scandal holding him back, tying his hands, and he still did some good things.

00:28:43.000 Far from perfect, but pretty good.

00:28:45.000 Way better than Biden.

00:28:46.000 I don't know what would have happened with Hillary, but those ideas were just wrong. 1.00

00:28:52.000 Then we get the same lies in 2020 when these social media influencers came out.

00:28:56.000 I want to give a special shout out to people like ContraPoints who said you have to vote for Joe Biden.

00:29:02.000 Do you regret saying that?

00:29:04.000 So now what we're getting from the propaganda machine is aren't you glad Trump isn't president?

00:29:09.000 Why?

00:29:10.000 Even Bill Maher is saying it's a good question.

00:29:12.000 Why didn't Putin invade Ukraine under Trump?

00:29:15.000 So no, I think all of these people who came out were like, guys, look, I'm a leftist and I don't like the establishment, but you have to vote for Joe Biden.

00:29:24.000 It's like, there's no logic there at all.

00:29:26.000 Because if you really wanted the system to collapse, Donald Trump was the bull in the china shop.

00:29:30.000 If you really wanted something good, you want a repeat of Trump's economic plan that helped everybody with a good economy. 0.57

00:29:35.000 There was literally no reason to vote for a warmongering corrupt despot like Joe Biden, and they did.

00:29:41.000 And now gas prices record highs, inflation four decade highs every single month, wholesale consumer prices up 10%, escalation of war, our southern border in shambles, Everything's worse.

00:29:52.000 More COVID deaths in 2021 than 2020, even with the vaccine.

00:29:56.000 I mean, no student debt relief.

00:29:59.000 Now the dude's totally turned his back on Black Lives Matter.

00:30:02.000 All of these people who advocated for this sold out their followers, burned it to the ground, and now Joe Biden is just sitting back, yelling, shooting out a shot of pressure as everything falls apart.

00:30:10.000 I mean, it's amazing how easily manipulated we all are.

00:30:13.000 And I think that's, you know, the lesson from the last couple of years with coronavirus and masks and all the left has been doing is calling someone racist.

00:30:20.000 And then you have to do whatever they tell you to do.

00:30:23.000 And if not, you're right.

00:30:24.000 It's like it's not a clever scheme.

00:30:25.000 It's like super obvious.

00:30:28.000 Or, you know, you've got to do this because Trump is bad.

00:30:31.000 And that's all they have going for them.

00:30:32.000 It's not it's not clever at all.

00:30:34.000 It's not subtle.

00:30:35.000 But people keep falling for it.

00:30:37.000 So what would you say the solutions are, or what direction do you believe we have to head in as a country to fix this?

00:30:44.000 I mean, I think we have to, the Democratic Party really has to reject the illiberal left.

00:30:48.000 I mean, these ideas of treating people differently based on race, rejecting objectivity in some ways, like these are insane ideas.

00:30:57.000 With some of the school stuff where they're talking about, you know, getting into the, they got rid of the, some of the math magnet school, the top math school in the country, because there weren't enough blacks getting in.

00:31:06.000 So they say tests are not real.

00:31:08.000 Like, you can't indulge these ideas.

00:31:10.000 That's a conspiracy theorist.

00:31:11.000 That's a conspiracy theory.

00:31:13.000 They call people on the right conspiracy theorists all the time.

00:31:15.000 So I think the only people that can save this party, Joe, this country, Joe Biden was well situated to do it because he's a Democrat that is not grounded in the far left fringe.

00:31:26.000 And unfortunately, we've learned that he's not the guy.

00:31:29.000 Let's talk about how Joe Biden may be presiding over the end of American global dominance.

00:31:33.000 From the Wall Street Journal, Saudi Arabia considers accepting yuan instead of dollars for Chinese oil sales.

00:31:39.000 Talks between Riyadh and Beijing have accelerated as the Saudi unhappiness grows with Washington.

00:31:45.000 Now there's two big points to make here.

00:31:46.000 First, some people are screaming, it's fake news, don't believe it!

00:31:50.000 And there's some reporting coming out saying it's not true, it's not true, it's not going to happen.

00:31:54.000 However, what we do know, as I mentioned in the previous segment, even Trevor Noah criticized Joe Biden because Saudi Arabia refused to take his call.

00:32:01.000 We also know they invited Xi Jinping to the country.

00:32:03.000 At the same time, we're hearing reports that they're considering trading oil in Yuan.

00:32:08.000 What this will do is it's going to strengthen Chinese currency and their government and their economy substantially.

00:32:15.000 It's going to send signals to everybody that if Saudi Arabia does this, because they trade exclusively in U.S.

00:32:19.000 dollars, that it's good for you to have Yuan because you can buy oil with it now.

00:32:24.000 That is the first, you know, chipping away of U.S.

00:32:28.000 global dominance in terms of the petrodollar, the reserve currency.

00:32:31.000 And what Americans need to understand is that a large portion of the wealth we have comes from the fact that we are the progenitors of reserve currency around the world.

00:32:41.000 If that ends, we have very little to offer everybody else.

00:32:44.000 I mean, think about how much the value of our dollar is boosted by the fact that everybody has to purchase U.S.

00:32:44.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:32:48.000 dollars if they want to buy oil from Saudi Arabia.

00:32:51.000 It's not just Saudi Arabia, too.

00:32:53.000 It's 80% of the oil market.

00:32:54.000 I think of Saudi as like the nozzle on the hose, like the garden nozzle that you squeeze to squirt it. 1.00

00:33:00.000 And we are the hose.

00:33:01.000 You know, we're producing the fluid that's coming through this hose.

00:33:05.000 But if Saudi wants to twist shut, we have no more way to get that oil out to the world.

00:33:09.000 If they don't want to sell it in US dollars, that's like the tip of the spear.

00:33:11.000 So does this also make inflation much worse if we printed all this money and now all these foreign governments are no longer possessing it?

00:33:18.000 If they start dumping it, then we're going to have dollar bills in the streets being shoveled into the gutter.

00:33:18.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:33:23.000 And I just don't understand how people could be too shocked that we printed, what, 80% of the dollars in existence over the past two years or something along those lines?

00:33:31.000 We put it in circulation.

00:33:32.000 Yeah, I'm sorry, in circulation.

00:33:33.000 I mean, of course we're just going to be inching towards losing our status as world reserve currency.

00:33:38.000 Why would anyone be willing to depend on our currency?

00:33:40.000 Well, this is why the White House is so desperate.

00:33:42.000 They called them the TikTokers to lie to young people. 1.00

00:33:44.000 Also, it's not our currency.

00:33:46.000 dollar is Federal Reserve currency.

00:33:46.000 The U.S.

00:33:47.000 It's a private company.

00:33:49.000 The Congress doesn't control it anymore.

00:33:50.000 What bothers me the most about what the White House did with these TikTokers, it's basically just like spitting on these kids. 1.00

00:33:55.000 Like, kids who are finally asking, why is my gas $7 in L.A.?

00:33:59.000 That's one thing that this young woman said.

00:34:00.000 She was like, we want to know why gas around the corner is $7 a gallon.

00:34:04.000 It's because of Putin.

00:34:05.000 And I'm like, it's not.

00:34:07.000 It's literally not.

00:34:09.000 Ask yourself why California has $7 a gallon and you go to Arizona or Colorado, it's $4.

00:34:14.000 But that's the oldest mind control game in the book is you need a common enemy when things are tough.

00:34:18.000 You need a distraction and you get everyone worked up and now we're in war mode and we've got an enemy so we're all going to come together.

00:34:24.000 Dude, after 9-11, it was the craziest mass formation psychosis.

00:34:28.000 People wanted to blood.

00:34:30.000 They wanted to be in the Middle East. 0.98

00:34:31.000 And then they're like, end Iraq. 0.92

00:34:32.000 And they're like, yeah, whatever, man.

00:34:33.000 I'm hungry.

00:34:34.000 Look at what they're doing with Ukraine now.

00:34:34.000 Feed me.

00:34:37.000 There's a comic mocking leftists.

00:34:39.000 And I'm seeing leftists post it.

00:34:40.000 So I'm actually like, good.

00:34:42.000 Where it's like, Russia says, you know, there's weapons of mass destruction.

00:34:47.000 And they're like, Oh, you know.

00:34:48.000 Okay, we're okay with that now.

00:34:50.000 Like, the United States invaded Iraq because of weapons of mass destruction.

00:34:54.000 Putin's got weapons of mass destruction.

00:34:55.000 Are we gonna invade Russia?

00:34:56.000 No, of course not, because Russia's actually a threat to us.

00:34:59.000 The issue is, you have all these leftists who pretended to be anti-war.

00:35:03.000 Who said war is bad.

00:35:05.000 And now that Ukraine is is all in the press and on the media, they're all waving the flag saying we got to do something.

00:35:10.000 They also impeached Trump for suggesting essentially that Biden had some oddly close relationship with Ukraine.

00:35:16.000 And sure enough, it's seeming like he does.

00:35:18.000 I think it's undisputed that he his son was on the board of Burisma.

00:35:22.000 Well, that is undisputed.

00:35:23.000 Yeah, it's indisputable for sure.

00:35:24.000 Biden is interwoven in that Ukrainian. 0.78

00:35:26.000 Right.

00:35:26.000 But he was trying to claim like, oh, it's no big deal.

00:35:28.000 That's just my son.

00:35:29.000 Like, he's clearly like obsessed with Ukraine and has been for years.

00:35:29.000 I don't know.

00:35:32.000 And that was kind of at the heart of, you know, the impeachment is Trump was kind of right.

00:35:36.000 Like, why?

00:35:36.000 Why are you into Ukraine so much, dude?

00:35:38.000 Like, it really doesn't have anything to do with us.

00:35:41.000 I'm just asking, do you think it was that he just wants the land mass to move oil?

00:35:45.000 Or is there something more?

00:35:47.000 I mean, this is just a wild, I don't know if you have the answer to this, but what do you think it is?

00:35:50.000 Why Biden has been obsessed with Ukraine for so long?

00:35:54.000 I have no clue other than, you know, I mean, we know that obviously his son has a lot of money ties there, but I have no clue.

00:36:00.000 It's like the breadbasket of Europe.

00:36:00.000 Oh, boy.

00:36:02.000 I was just walking over to grab their water, but come on, Ian.

00:36:04.000 Either Russia... We talk about this enough. 0.92

00:36:05.000 We cover this all the time.

00:36:06.000 Either Russia or Europe wants that Ukrainian breadbasket. 0.99

00:36:09.000 They want to feed their country.

00:36:11.000 No, no, no.

00:36:11.000 That's not it.

00:36:12.000 About 20% of natural gas, I believe, goes through Ukraine from the company Gazprom, which Russia controls.

00:36:17.000 This allows Russia to control prices and make them very, very high.

00:36:20.000 So what we end up seeing in Europe is energy prices are pretty high.

00:36:24.000 What happened when France tried putting a small petrol tax on the people for climate change reasons?

00:36:29.000 So they claimed climate change.

00:36:31.000 People rioted for a year and a half.

00:36:33.000 So the US and Western interests destabilize the Middle East, which Syria Somehow we start seeing Western resources like Mike's plumbing end up in the hands of jihadis, you know. 0.82

00:36:46.000 Oh yeah.

00:36:47.000 US support for rebels, the US allies supporting ISIS, and it was destabilizing Assad.

00:36:52.000 Very convenient for us because we wanted to get rid of him so we could build our pipeline to offset the Gazprop gas monopoly.

00:36:58.000 Then you get, you know, Trump comes in.

00:37:01.000 Trump flattens ISIS.

00:37:03.000 Russia's like, okay, good. 0.90

00:37:04.000 My ally is secure.

00:37:06.000 Trump was doing things that was ending war.

00:37:08.000 ISIS is bad.

00:37:08.000 It's a good thing.

00:37:09.000 Got rid of it.

00:37:10.000 This de-escalated tensions between Russia and the West.

00:37:13.000 That's a good thing.

00:37:14.000 Joe Biden gets in and what happens?

00:37:15.000 Immediately you start seeing activity in Syria again.

00:37:19.000 One of the first things we saw under Biden, and everyone talked about it, was we're hearing reports that US troops were now moving back into Syria.

00:37:26.000 Of course, that's going to make Putin very angry because I'm looking at a gas prom. 1.00

00:37:30.000 and and and uh... russia has a military base a naval base in tartus

00:37:35.000 so now u s trips going back and was once again aggressing upon russia and its

00:37:38.000 interests then you go to

00:37:41.000 ukraine the west starts pushing again

00:37:44.000 and then russia says okay we're done we're not doing this look at a gasp from

00:37:48.000 first time i've really looked at a gasp rom yes i like the control literally all

00:37:51.000 of the is a gas rates on It's $120 billion in sales in 2019.

00:37:54.000 They said it was rated the largest publicly listed natural gas company in the world and the largest company in Russia by revenue.

00:38:01.000 Largest Russian company.

00:38:01.000 That's right.

00:38:02.000 So Biden was trying to get the oil away from Gazprom and start taking it from- Compete with it.

00:38:06.000 With a different company.

00:38:07.000 Is that Burisma?

00:38:08.000 It may have been Burisma.

00:38:09.000 Burisma was an energy company.

00:38:11.000 Just so happens that I think there was a CIA director on the board.

00:38:13.000 There was Hunter Biden on the board getting paid $83,000. 0.98

00:38:16.000 Well, that's some deep state crap. 1.00

00:38:18.000 No, these are just corrupt people, man. 0.99

00:38:20.000 They're getting like bureaucrat, administrative bureaucrats on the board of an Ukrainian gas company. 0.99

00:38:25.000 It's as corrupt as they come.

00:38:28.000 But the simple picture is the United States and the West were interested in destroying the nations of Syria and Ukraine to save money on gas.

00:38:36.000 And Iraq.

00:38:37.000 Let's not mince words.

00:38:38.000 They're sucking that oil out of that country as we speak.

00:38:40.000 Libya, too.

00:38:42.000 Iraq, a little bit.

00:38:46.000 Seemingly, Iraq and Afghanistan was like Bolton's wet dream of invading Iran.

00:38:51.000 So Afghanistan and Iraq really allowed the United States to position a bunch of military bases on the west and east of Iran.

00:38:56.000 And then you ended up with Bolton under the Trump administration saying, by this time next year, we will be celebrating in Tehran. 0.79

00:39:02.000 And it was just like, man, this guy's nuts.

00:39:04.000 Because Iran is not like Afghanistan. 0.93

00:39:07.000 It is a mountainous, well-defended country with a lot of people.

00:39:11.000 And I think they have really, really great surface-to-air missile capabilities or like anti-air capabilities.

00:39:16.000 Iran? 0.79

00:39:17.000 Iran, yeah.

00:39:17.000 I imagine the Russians.

00:39:18.000 Are they allied with the Russians?

00:39:20.000 I don't think so.

00:39:22.000 I don't know if it's a foreign policy.

00:39:23.000 I imagine they've been loaded with Russian weaponry or Chinese weaponry at this point.

00:39:27.000 But this is what's starting to happen.

00:39:27.000 Probably.

00:39:28.000 These are the two blocks.

00:39:31.000 The scary thing is, when you consider this, it's almost like the administration in power right now is a zombie version of what it was during Obama.

00:39:42.000 Like, it's trying to walk in the direction, but it's just failing miserably.

00:39:48.000 And now with Saudi Arabia making these moves, they're not answering his phone because they don't respect him.

00:39:52.000 Because why would I talk to Joe Biden?

00:39:54.000 That guy's not doing anything.

00:39:55.000 I think the world looks at the United States and they say they're fractured within.

00:39:58.000 Their president can't speak straight.

00:40:01.000 He'll do nothing to stop us.

00:40:03.000 And there was a Russian TV presenter who said, That Russia can do anything, including biological or nuclear attacks, and the United States will do nothing to stop us.

00:40:14.000 That's what they said on TV.

00:40:15.000 And that's, I believe, a legitimate viewpoint our adversaries now have.

00:40:20.000 Well, and you have to look at China.

00:40:21.000 I mean, China potentially unleashed a biological weapon in some capacity and we've done nothing. 0.67

00:40:26.000 Yeah, I was sort of talking about that on the show the other day, the fact that we argued it was an act of war when non-government Russian actors purchased $46,000 worth of Facebook ads.

00:40:36.000 But China releases a virus which is, according to Sir Francis- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:40:42.000 A virus was released in China.

00:40:42.000 What's that?

00:40:44.000 Or got out, we don't know exactly.

00:40:46.000 Even if it's accidental, if a country accidentally does something which kills, we're being told, over 800,000 people, it's hard not to consider that an act of war.

00:40:55.000 Yeah, well at least in the, within our borders specifically.

00:40:58.000 Blocking congressional hearings, I mean we don't know definitively the answer to these questions,

00:41:02.000 in part because they refuse to ask the questions.

00:41:03.000 I think because EcoHealth Alliance was involved that it's multinational at this point.

00:41:07.000 Who do you go after?

00:41:09.000 You know what, is it, is...

00:41:10.000 Forex trading is something people do, right?

00:41:13.000 Buying yuan?

00:41:13.000 Foreign exchange?

00:41:14.000 Oh, yeah.

00:41:16.000 I think so.

00:41:17.000 I'll tell you this.

00:41:18.000 I'm confident in the Chinese currency at this point.

00:41:21.000 I'm not confident in U.S.

00:41:22.000 I'm not confident in fiat at all.

00:41:22.000 dollars.

00:41:23.000 I think this is fiat.

00:41:24.000 The yuan is also fiat.

00:41:26.000 They can print trillions of it.

00:41:27.000 I'm not going to buy any Chinese currency, but Bitcoin, for sure.

00:41:30.000 You can't print Bitcoin.

00:41:31.000 You can only create what's already there.

00:41:33.000 You can't mine it.

00:41:35.000 Yeah.

00:41:36.000 Every day I hear more and more news where I'm like, how long has a dollar got left?

00:41:40.000 Yeah.

00:41:41.000 No joke, man.

00:41:42.000 It's not like it's the weakest currency in the world.

00:41:42.000 18 years?

00:41:45.000 It's strong.

00:41:45.000 You know what I mean?

00:41:46.000 If you look at, you know, Hryvnia, for instance, Ukraine, I mean, they're just, currency is brutally bad.

00:41:51.000 When you see those countries that have trillion dollar bills.

00:41:54.000 Yeah.

00:41:54.000 Right.

00:41:57.000 How long until the Yuan takes over as the reserve currency?

00:42:01.000 Maybe not overnight, but it looks like we may be moving in that direction.

00:42:05.000 Look, I think when it comes to these currencies, you'll take a look at the strength of the government, because the currency is backed by the strength of the government.

00:42:12.000 If the U.S.

00:42:12.000 can't maintain the force against other countries to use its currency for oil, they'll stop.

00:42:18.000 And the U.S.

00:42:19.000 can't back up their words with guns anymore.

00:42:21.000 It's not working.

00:42:22.000 Russia is proving that. 0.85

00:42:23.000 China is proving it. 0.95

00:42:25.000 China has a strong and stable authoritarian government and COVID really shined a light.

00:42:30.000 A lot of other countries are looking at this and they're like, well, you know, when push comes to shove, China will weld your door shut and execute you.

00:42:36.000 Over in the United States, Joe Biden will fall asleep.

00:42:40.000 Joe Biden was given the keys to the, you know, he was given the vaccine.

00:42:43.000 He was given all these policies and more deaths and more cases in his first year than under Trump in his last.

00:42:48.000 Yeah, and I think part of it is Americans, especially the people that want to talk about colonization and think of themselves as globalists, they're actually so sheltered that they can't situate international affairs.

00:43:00.000 They live within America, that's really all they understand.

00:43:03.000 And they hate people like Trump more than they hate our foreign enemies.

00:43:07.000 And so I think a lot of what they're doing is purely designed to play on American politics when really the world is much bigger than that.

00:43:15.000 So I wonder, especially when you see these NPCs with their Ukrainian flags and their bios and things like that.

00:43:20.000 This is really just residual Russiagate hysteria where, you know, Russia bought $50,000 of Facebook ads.

00:43:27.000 But then the Mueller report, everything falls apart and they've got nothing.

00:43:27.000 Oh my God.

00:43:30.000 And now this is like their last stand of like, see, we told you Russia is bad. 0.99

00:43:35.000 It's just so crazy to me that there exist people, for whatever reason, that live in that reality.

00:43:43.000 Where it's like, Smollett's story was a hoax, they believed it.

00:43:46.000 Covenant Kids' hoax, they believed it.

00:43:48.000 Michael Brown's Hands Up, Don't Shoot was a hoax, they believed it.

00:43:51.000 Russiagate, they believed it.

00:43:52.000 Ukrainegate, they believed it.

00:43:54.000 I'm like, I don't understand.

00:43:55.000 At what point does your brain just break from all the lies that are proven to be lies?

00:44:00.000 Or is there something intrinsic to their minds where it's like, the lie is better.

00:44:06.000 It's always better to just fall in line.

00:44:08.000 How many of these people actually know they're being lied to, but are too scared to say anything, so they just keep going along with it? 0.99

00:44:12.000 How many people are just so dumb, they can't speak? 0.99

00:44:15.000 And you never see any reckoning. 1.00

00:44:17.000 Like, you never see, just even regular people that are posting on Facebook and things like that, the small it happens and they're all up in arms, you never see them follow up, I was wrong or I've learned a lesson.

00:44:25.000 I mean, I think we need an apology at some point, because if we're not learning from these things, You know, they're obviously going to keep happening.

00:44:33.000 If there was just some accountability, a tiny amount, like you mentioned, just people having to apologize when they got something completely wrong.

00:44:40.000 If we tried to foster a culture where people held their friends accountable for getting outraged over things that turned out not to be true, far fewer people would.

00:44:48.000 But as it stands, there are literally zero social consequences for spreading lies that will promote your political agenda.

00:44:55.000 Because when it turns out you either were lying or someone else was lying to you and you irresponsibly believed it despite the fact that they have constantly lied to you in the past and you were willing to listen to them again, there is literally nothing anyone says to you to even remotely bring you any level of shame for the fact that you have made the system work based on complete misinformation and that you're probably going to continue to spread it in the future.

00:45:17.000 I'm visualizing like humans walking a tightrope and I'm down on the bottom watching them all fall off the tightrope.

00:45:23.000 And like, I can try and be like, hey, here's how you walk a tightrope, but it's so time consuming and impossible to teach these people that don't know how to walk it.

00:45:31.000 So I'm just focused on building a better net because they're going to keep falling. 1.00

00:45:34.000 These stupid people, these moronic hive minds. 1.00

00:45:37.000 And they always have this circular logic where it's like, okay, it was fake, but the fact that I could have believed it could have been real only shows that the underlying problem is truer than we ever knew. 1.00

00:45:45.000 That's so true.

00:45:47.000 What a crazy statement.

00:45:49.000 But Ian, in your analogy, it's not that you're watching them on the tightrope.

00:45:53.000 You're on the tightrope, and they're bouncing around and struggling, and it's making you wobble.

00:45:58.000 That's for sure.

00:45:59.000 And you're saying, guys, please, here's how you walk on a tightrope, and they tell you to shut up, and then one guy pulls out a knife and starts cutting away at the rope, and you're like, okay, we got a problem.

00:46:07.000 The upside of that is all the wobbling has made me become a better tightrope walker, but it's still annoying when they wobble the tightrope.

00:46:12.000 Yes, Ian, all of the chaos has made me better at survival.

00:46:15.000 Yes.

00:46:16.000 Thank you for the resistance.

00:46:16.000 Truth be told.

00:46:17.000 And I'm looking forward to that tightrope snapping and then I hold on and swing like Tarzan off to safety.

00:46:22.000 Like as you're talking about these people just buying lies over and over again I'm like getting frustrated and then I start to get angry and like I can't help those people anymore.

00:46:30.000 I can't even try.

00:46:31.000 And I think that's a really important point.

00:46:32.000 I mean there's an emotional cost to all this.

00:46:34.000 Like it's just not fun to argue with your friends who are saying this stuff that you don't agree with politically.

00:46:40.000 You see the people that put the effort into really kind of being Congenial and saying, well, where'd you get that?

00:46:44.000 Let me question this assumption.

00:46:46.000 It's easier just to ignore them because it's just grueling.

00:46:48.000 It's just, uh, you're on a treadmill and it's frustrating and, uh, I think people just give up and that's where you start to see this country separating because it's just not fun.

00:46:57.000 I mean, who wants to do it?

00:46:58.000 Let me, let me, let me pull up this story that, uh, this is from, uh, Daily Mail.

00:47:01.000 GOP rep Madison Cawthorne claimed he carried weapons in his wheelchair on January 6th to arm those around him.

00:47:07.000 An unearthed clip of a phone call.

00:47:09.000 Now hold on there a minute.

00:47:10.000 What?

00:47:11.000 The first thing I want to say, the left is using this to insinuate that Madison Cawthorn was trying to arm rioters. 0.99

00:47:20.000 That's not true.

00:47:21.000 Madison Cawthorn was talking about arming members of Congress and their staff to use weapons against the rioters.

00:47:27.000 Here's the best part, though.

00:47:29.000 Unearthed clip, so saith Daily Mail.

00:47:32.000 What does that mean?

00:47:33.000 This was on a public broadcast.

00:47:35.000 It was on Charlie Kirk's podcast, I believe.

00:47:38.000 This wasn't unearthed.

00:47:40.000 Anybody who watches that show, and it's a very popular show, knows this was said.

00:47:44.000 They're saying unearthed because they don't view you as a human being and citizen of this country.

00:47:50.000 You don't matter.

00:47:51.000 Your conversations don't matter.

00:47:53.000 They unearthed it.

00:47:54.000 I love that analogy.

00:47:56.000 Christopher Columbus, did he discover America?

00:47:58.000 No!

00:47:59.000 Well, first of all, he landed in the Bahamas, but if you want to talk about discovering the continent, there were already people here.

00:48:05.000 From a European historical perspective, that's it, right?

00:48:07.000 That's how I view this.

00:48:09.000 These people are like, look what we've discovered, and it's like, bro, I saw that episode.

00:48:13.000 Like, that was a long time ago.

00:48:14.000 Is this news to you?

00:48:15.000 I didn't actually see the episode.

00:48:16.000 That's the point, though.

00:48:17.000 They say this.

00:48:18.000 Cawthorn was interviewed by phone on conservative activist Charlie Kirk's radio show on January 6, seemingly while rioters were actively storming the Capitol.

00:48:26.000 The freshman lawmaker said everyone around me is armed, but didn't say where.

00:48:29.000 He also claimed Rep.

00:48:30.000 Lauren Boebert was carrying a weapon that day. 0.98

00:48:32.000 The Colorado Republicans previously told Fox News just days after the insurrection that she had not been armed that day, but said others were.

00:48:38.000 Well, then maybe Madison Cawthorn was incorrect, because a direct source contradicts it.

00:48:42.000 Neither Cawthorn nor Boebert have responded to a request for comment.

00:48:46.000 So, if an insurrection is happening against sitting members of Congress and the government, and one of them is armed and says, quick, the rioters are coming, take this weapon, shouldn't the Democrats be happy about that?

00:48:57.000 Shouldn't they be like, wow, he was actually threatening lethal force against violent insurrectionists?

00:49:01.000 He was stopping the insurrection, he was fighting back.

00:49:04.000 That's right, Madison Cawthorn tried to save this country from the insurrection.

00:49:07.000 The insurrection where basically nobody brought any weapons.

00:49:07.000 That's the headline right there.

00:49:10.000 Right.

00:49:11.000 That insurrection.

00:49:12.000 Well, some people brought weapons not to the Capitol, but you know, they had weapons in their cars and stuff like that.

00:49:17.000 But the craziest thing about this is there was a Reddit post I saw where they're pushing this idea that Cawthorne and Boebert were arming, or mostly Cawthorne was arming rioters.

00:49:29.000 Like they were giving... They're claiming that a man in a wheelchair was about to commit like a lethal terrorist attack.

00:49:36.000 I mean, he's in a wheelchair.

00:49:37.000 I mean, who's going to be afraid of him?

00:49:39.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:49:40.000 This is another story where you can see they lie.

00:49:42.000 They manipulate the truth to make it seem like something... It's odd because the Daily Mail is conservative, but it's also English, so they're kind of coming... This is an odd story for that reason.

00:49:52.000 And it's a complete misrepresentation of what happened.

00:49:56.000 It is a complete misrepresentation of what happened on earth and also, yeah, carried his weapons in a wheelchair to arm those around him.

00:50:02.000 Are you leaving a little bit of important context out of that one?

00:50:06.000 Yeah a little bit.

00:50:07.000 I was just going to say too that I can't believe how deeply entrenched their ideology is because for them to look at something like someone actually bringing a weapon where it might need to be used and scream and point and freak out, that's silly to me.

00:50:20.000 Like he was possibly, potentially defending some of these people but they have to control the narrative so that it looks like he was trying to arm the rioters when in fact we know that a huge majority of the people there did not even have arms at all.

00:50:33.000 Which Flatly contradicts their ongoing narrative that they were there to cause trouble and do violence to the people who were at work there.

00:50:40.000 Is this show, this is a Charlie Kirk show.

00:50:43.000 Is it the same as his podcast?

00:50:45.000 Do you guys know or know?

00:50:46.000 I think so.

00:50:47.000 Not sure.

00:50:47.000 This was Charlie Kirk's investigative reporting of having a public conversation with somebody.

00:50:52.000 Yes, sorry.

00:50:53.000 On the radio.

00:50:53.000 Unearthing.

00:50:54.000 On the radio.

00:50:54.000 Unearthing, yes.

00:50:56.000 But no, I mean, think about that.

00:50:58.000 So to these people in the media, because look, I know it's Daily Mail is conservative and they do often challenge, they're kind of, you know, they can go either way.

00:51:08.000 It's a big company.

00:51:11.000 The reason they say that is because the Reddit threads and the comments about it were like, newly discovered clip.

00:51:19.000 These people in establishment and corporate press, they think you watching a show, it doesn't exist.

00:51:27.000 They have to discover it and then say it was discovered.

00:51:30.000 But it's kind of like, bro, if there's millions of people already in America and then you show up, I didn't tell you, but you didn't discover it.

00:51:38.000 There's people here.

00:51:39.000 Well, it makes me wonder, Luke, as someone who does genuine investigative journalism and has to interview people and comb through information and find original sources, when you see that people can watch a podcast, clip a moment from that podcast, and then call it journalism, how does that make you feel?

00:51:57.000 You know, I think there's a couple issues here.

00:51:58.000 The first is kind of ascribing malice when, you know, incompetence is an easier explanation.

00:52:03.000 There's a lot of journalists now that aren't really even journalists.

00:52:06.000 They're lazy, low-paid, 22-year-olds who don't know anything about anything.

00:52:10.000 And they just literally, like, look at Reddit and write a little blog post. 0.94

00:52:15.000 But the other thing is, when I was doing the Loudoun County story, and I revealed this cover-up of a rape, the other media didn't cover it.

00:52:21.000 And by doing that, they relegated it to this conservative media story.

00:52:25.000 And so I think that sometimes it works to their advantage.

00:52:27.000 A story becomes stigmatized just because they didn't cover it.

00:52:31.000 It's circular reasoning.

00:52:32.000 They cause it to be a conservative media story.

00:52:35.000 And then they say, well, we don't need to go into the conservative ghetto and read things, because if it's a real story, it'll come from us.

00:52:41.000 Conservative ghetto, it's a good way to put it. 1.00

00:52:43.000 We need parallel economies.

00:52:45.000 There was a point where I said I'm worried about it with the censorship and everything, that it was gonna force people into two separate economies.

00:52:52.000 Now it's time, the anti-establishment, it's not even just conservative, but the anti-establishment, post-liberal, libertarian, conservative, whatever group, they need their own infrastructure.

00:53:03.000 We need our own payment processors, which there are some.

00:53:06.000 We need to basically tell these people we just don't care anymore.

00:53:09.000 You know, it's not that we don't care, it's that it's pointless trying to talk to people who don't view you as a part of civilization or society.

00:53:17.000 When they actually act as though you are like some kind of, you know, peasant or subterranean humanoid creature who's not on par with them and their nobility, what's the point in having a conversation with that person?

00:53:32.000 They consider your outlets fake news.

00:53:35.000 If I'm going to write a story and then they say it's unearthed or they call it, you know, conservative news says, that's just like, I don't care who they're talking to.

00:53:43.000 Those people are, you know, they're not paying attention.

00:53:48.000 They're not interested in paying attention.

00:53:50.000 So so we got to find people who are actively looking for answers and want to improve themselves, you know You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink as they say.

00:53:58.000 So I don't know Maybe we do want to try and wake a lot of these people up but for the most part I look at this and I'm just like they they view you as unhuman You can't make them drink.

00:54:08.000 You can make them thirsty.

00:54:10.000 But that's arguably... I can make them thirsty.

00:54:11.000 ...run them around a lot.

00:54:13.000 Salt.

00:54:13.000 Then when you take them to the water, they're more likely... Salt, yeah.

00:54:15.000 But that's, with a human, that's a little unethical to use them like a horse, you know?

00:54:19.000 So I don't know if making people thirsty is the right metaphor.

00:54:21.000 Well, you can reason with a person, or at least attempt to.

00:54:24.000 Dude, reason, people are seeking logic and reason.

00:54:26.000 They need it.

00:54:27.000 It's part of the balance of the spirit, and I think it's missing.

00:54:30.000 So maybe you can bring reason to people.

00:54:31.000 That might help.

00:54:33.000 I mean, truth be told, you can definitely make a horse drink.

00:54:35.000 I kind of don't understand the saying.

00:54:36.000 It's like, you can bring the horse to water, and then you can splash a bucket in its face.

00:54:41.000 You can jam a, you know, a hose in its face or something and spray it, and it'll get mad.

00:54:46.000 But, you know, it depends on how many people you have. 0.72

00:54:48.000 You could tie the thing down and pour water in its throat.

00:54:51.000 That's horse abuse. 1.00

00:54:53.000 Well, like, if you've got a horse that's dehydrated, and it won't drink.

00:54:56.000 You probably do, what do you call it, subcutaneous fluids?

00:55:00.000 A little injection under the skin.

00:55:02.000 Horse IV drip.

00:55:03.000 You know, when I see stories like this, and it's just another day, another same story, I just wonder, you know, what's the next step in the escalation and the polarization and the splitting?

00:55:16.000 Because now they're actually trying to insinuate that a sitting member of Congress is arming rioters for an insurrection.

00:55:23.000 This is just completely consistent with their narrative.

00:55:25.000 And this is something that they've refused to let go of, which is really interesting to me to watch because even in the midst of Ukraine and all their posturing and politically correct virtue signaling about how much they dislike Russia, they still have time to point out that, oh, January 6th was still truly terrible.

00:55:41.000 Nevermind that Ukraine is actually being shelled by Russians. 0.97

00:55:44.000 This is still the worst thing that's ever happened on American soil.

00:55:46.000 Just a bunch of old people who wandered into the Capitol building.

00:55:49.000 It's insane to me.

00:55:50.000 November's gonna be lit.

00:55:52.000 It's already been lit this year.

00:55:53.000 Yeah, that's crazy for us.

00:55:56.000 Well, one thing I want to mention here about the media and media bias, I'm sure you guys can probably relate to this on some level unless your evolution occurred more quickly than mine, but even just a few years ago, I understood and viewed the media as being left-wing and having that bias, but I still thought, I can see what they're saying, and every once in a while they might get something right.

00:56:14.000 But at this point, my perspective is that they are always lying all the time, and I can literally trust nothing that they say.

00:56:20.000 And to sort of segue into your investigative reporting, when you look at the Loudoun County case, with them referring to a father who was angry over his daughter literally being raped in a cover-up, and the media reporting on this as if he was some kind of maniac, and the face of parental abusive teachers.

00:56:38.000 Yeah, and I mean what I did with that story was so simple that everyone saw the story on CNN, the video, every news outlet of this guy being arrested.

00:56:46.000 This kind of overweight white male plumber that got beat up by the cops and handcuffed at a school board meeting.

00:56:53.000 And they all thought they knew why.

00:56:54.000 They didn't need to ask him why he was mad because they all thought they knew. 0.90

00:56:56.000 He was a bigot. 1.00

00:56:57.000 He probably hates gays. 1.00

00:56:58.000 He probably hates blacks. 1.00

00:57:00.000 Who knows? 0.99

00:57:01.000 But we know.

00:57:02.000 And so all I did is call him up and say, look, your video is being played around the globe.

00:57:06.000 We all saw that you were mad.

00:57:08.000 Why were you mad? 0.99

00:57:09.000 And he told me that his daughter was raped three weeks prior by a boy wearing a skirt. 0.93

00:57:13.000 And the superintendent had just lied and said it never happened.

00:57:16.000 So it is, you know, baffling.

00:57:19.000 And it's not as if the investigative resources aren't there.

00:57:23.000 I mean, they literally went out of their way to obtain video of this guy and put him on TV.

00:57:29.000 But no one thought to call him.

00:57:31.000 Yeah, I mean, that's really a horrific part of this scandal is you literally called the guy and that's how you got this information.

00:57:37.000 I mean, the absolute minimum that these journalists should have been doing.

00:57:41.000 Let me read for you a quote from George Orwell Seamus.

00:57:44.000 Oh, I'd love it.

00:57:46.000 You know what really frustrates me about the Orwell quote stuff, though, is whenever you do it, they pull up his fictional writing and I'm like, no, no, no, tell me about the man and his recollections of history and observations.

00:57:53.000 So this is one of his greater quotes.

00:57:55.000 He said, early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain for the first time I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie.

00:58:11.000 I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed.

00:58:17.000 I saw troops who had fought bravely denounced as cowards and traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed as the heroes of imaginary victories.

00:58:26.000 And I saw newspapers in London retailing these lies and eager intellectuals building emotional superstructures over events that had never happened.

00:58:35.000 I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened, but what ought to have happened according to various party lines.

00:58:43.000 How little things change.

00:58:44.000 Amazing how little things change, Seamus, that's spot on.

00:58:48.000 Because I look at this and I'm like, that's exactly what we're seeing now.

00:58:52.000 It's amazing.

00:58:53.000 Has it ever really changed?

00:58:54.000 Has it always been that way?

00:58:55.000 I think it's always been like that.

00:58:56.000 I think so.

00:58:57.000 But what's really fantastic is the fact that, at least for the time being, the average person does have the ability to look into things on their own.

00:59:03.000 So alternative media didn't really exist at that time in the way that it does today.

00:59:09.000 We are able to broadcast our messages to literal thousands, if not millions, of people.

00:59:14.000 Well, and I came across a meme the other day that was talking about, if the news is fake, imagine what history is like.

00:59:19.000 And I'm like, that's really interesting, because we all know history is written by the victors, but who knows what their take on it was?

00:59:26.000 Who knows which part of the victors is actually recording what happened?

00:59:30.000 Let's segue over to this next story, which may be a contributing factor in an upcoming civil war here in these United States.

00:59:40.000 From TimCast.com, Idaho passes bill banning abortions after six weeks.

00:59:44.000 Idaho's Senate Bill 1309 is milder for similar Texas legislation passed last year.

00:59:49.000 The bill now goes to Governor Brad Little to be signed into law.

00:59:52.000 Little has supported similar abortion bans but has not yet offered public comment on this bill.

00:59:57.000 The abortion bill does include exceptions for circumstances such as rape, incest, and medical emergencies.

01:00:02.000 The current abortion laws in Idaho authorize abortions until the fetus is viable outside the womb, typically around 24 weeks.

01:00:09.000 If the governor signs the bill, the new Idaho abortion ban could take effect as early as April.

01:00:14.000 So we're seeing similar laws, uh, they mention, uh, over at TeamCast, uh, in Mississippi, there's, there's Texas, and they say at least 12 states have introduced bills modeled after the Texas abortion ban.

01:00:25.000 The Texas Law Senate Bill 8 empowers private citizens to sue anyone who helps facilitate an abortion after the legal limit.

01:00:31.000 This is a big story because six weeks, I think, is, in terms of what we've seen across the country, the shortest amount of time so far, I believe, right?

01:00:39.000 Because, like, 11 weeks was Mississippi and they got sued over that.

01:00:42.000 Now it's six weeks.

01:00:43.000 A lot of people, even people on the left, believe that Roe v. Wade will be overturned come, what, June?

01:00:48.000 So this is just another, you know, shot across the bow.

01:00:52.000 Maybe that's not even the right way to put it.

01:00:53.000 I mean, this is another law.

01:00:55.000 Leftists, abortion activists are going to go after this absolutely, but it may be meaningless if come June they issue a ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.

01:01:06.000 Well, and of course they will not be able to stand the fact that unborn children are not being murdered in your state, even if that continues to be legal in their state.

01:01:14.000 Well, I think there's sort of a defensive mechanism here as far as I think one of the big issues in our country is when people move from California or New York to Texas.

01:01:22.000 Because of Texas' success, it actually leads to failure.

01:01:26.000 And so by doing something like this, it's actually not even about abortion.

01:01:29.000 What it's saying is those people in Seattle and Washington State and Oregon, right over the state line, I believe, of Idaho, who are moving into Idaho, it's saying, stay out.

01:01:39.000 And it's necessary to do that because otherwise Idaho will become Portland in however many decades.

01:01:45.000 Very interesting.

01:01:46.000 I hear what you're saying, but think about the implication there.

01:01:50.000 Do you believe that there are women who are scared that if they go to Idaho they won't be able to get abortions?

01:01:59.000 It's just kind of a crazy thought to me that there's a woman who's like, but what if I get pregnant and I can't terminate the pregnancy in this state?

01:02:06.000 You know what I mean?

01:02:08.000 So you're suggesting if a woman wanted an abortion and she was an Idaho resident, she would just cross the state line to get it?

01:02:15.000 Well, not necessarily.

01:02:16.000 What I mean is, like, the implication is effectively, if this is true, that this bill is a warning to these people, the only reason they'd be scared is because they plan on having an abortion.

01:02:25.000 No, because they're obsessed with virtue signaling.

01:02:27.000 I mean, look at all the boycotts they do of Florida and Texas for all kinds of bills that really won't affect almost anyone.

01:02:33.000 It's just a symbolic gesture that this isn't, you're not going to fit in here.

01:02:37.000 It's amazing how they lie, too.

01:02:38.000 Like, I can't get over the Florida parental rights bill, which they keep lying about constantly.

01:02:43.000 Well, and with this, I'm not sure why they decided to do it.

01:02:46.000 I want to just ascribe the best possible motivation to them and say they're really trying to save unborn children, and really, God bless them for doing this.

01:02:53.000 But I do think it could have this very interesting side effect you bring up if you were left-wing people being willing to move to these states.

01:02:59.000 But that said, on the other hand, you're mentioning virtue signaling here.

01:03:02.000 And an important part of that concept is it's completely hollow and meaningless.

01:03:07.000 So I think there could be reason to believe that these left-wingers still might end up

01:03:10.000 moving to these places just because all they know how to do is engage in hollow, symbolic

01:03:14.000 virtue signaling and their actions never map onto the things they say they want.

01:03:18.000 So you know, I deal with this when we've been looking at property in West Virginia.

01:03:22.000 More so in the past year, but now that we have the new property, it hasn't really come up.

01:03:26.000 But one of the issues is we hear a lot from locals that there will be maybe a pig farm or a shooting range.

01:03:32.000 And then these D.C. 0.84

01:03:33.000 people who are trying to escape the cities over COVID and other problems that they create move out here.

01:03:38.000 When they go to buy the property, they're told, now you have to sign these documents saying you acknowledge there's a shooting range and a pig farm nearby and it's going to stink and be loud.

01:03:45.000 And they go, oh yeah, of course.

01:03:47.000 But what happens then when 10 more people move in all around the pig farm and shooting range?

01:03:52.000 Now there's more of them than you.

01:03:53.000 And they say, okay, we did agree to that, but now we're going to have a vote.

01:03:56.000 Oh, look at that.

01:03:57.000 We've all voted to get rid of your property.

01:03:58.000 And now you're gone.

01:04:00.000 So that's one of the things we see.

01:04:01.000 So I'm not entirely convinced the leftists will be like, oh, no, we better stay out.

01:04:05.000 They're going to move in and go, wait, I can't do what?

01:04:08.000 And then eventually enough move in and they say, vote and get rid of it.

01:04:11.000 You know what I mean?

01:04:12.000 I get what you're saying, though, about it.

01:04:12.000 Yeah.

01:04:13.000 It's sort of a prelude to a civil war or some sort of national separation is the 50 states just increasingly, states going far left and far right.

01:04:25.000 And so there's a differentiation within the country, even if nominally we're still one.

01:04:29.000 Absolutely.

01:04:29.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:04:30.000 people are very mobile now, especially after coronavirus. A lot of people working from home.

01:04:33.000 I think we're going to see people self-segregating politically.

01:04:36.000 Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. So, so that was the point I was bringing up initially is that

01:04:40.000 I think abortion could be a great moral cause for the left or the right, which could be,

01:04:47.000 you know, on par with slavery. Of course, the left will probably scream at me for saying something

01:04:52.000 like that, like what?

01:04:53.000 Or maybe they'll agree.

01:04:54.000 No, they'll agree because they say it is literal slavery for a woman to not be able to murder her unborn child. 0.70

01:04:58.000 I've heard that argument.

01:04:58.000 Right.

01:04:59.000 It's like the moral issue may be on par with that.

01:05:02.000 Denying a woman her right, they could say, what did George Carlin call it?

01:05:05.000 Being a broodmare for the state.

01:05:07.000 If that's the left's perspective on bearing a child when they decide not to, or they don't want to, then they probably would agree it's a great moral cause on par with slavery.

01:05:17.000 But if that's the case, and you've got... There's literally no middle ground.

01:05:21.000 There's zero.

01:05:22.000 There's zero middle ground.

01:05:25.000 So how do you resolve something like that?

01:05:27.000 If they overturn Roe v. Wade, I think you're going to see a bunch of states to start banning it.

01:05:32.000 And then I wonder, you know, will you see leftists setting up makeshift underground, the Underground Abortion Clinic Railroad or things like that?

01:05:40.000 For sure.

01:05:41.000 You think so?

01:05:42.000 Oh yeah, yeah.

01:05:42.000 Abortion, since the dawn of humanity, has been part of our species.

01:05:45.000 I can't imagine it ever stopping.

01:05:49.000 I'm sure that some people will still attempt to have abortions, but I believe that it will be greatly decreasing in number in the places where it's illegal.

01:05:57.000 But I think what Tim's asking is not necessarily, will there be people who break this law, but are left-wingers going to try to set up an entire underground infrastructure to continue abortion?

01:06:06.000 To get a girl out of the state without people knowing. 0.96

01:06:07.000 Yeah, something like that.

01:06:09.000 Because if you think about it, If someone lives in a state that allows it and they don't want to get one, they don't do anything.

01:06:17.000 They just say, I'm not going to get one.

01:06:20.000 But so another reason why I do genuinely believe that abortion bans work is Because I mean this was a while ago, and I can't remember the exact state, but Planned Parenthood tweeted something out I don't think it was the the Texas law because that was too recent But they basically tweeted a frowny face about how in certain areas where abortion was more difficult to access the birth rate had increased I have to find this.

01:06:46.000 It's actually ridiculous.

01:06:48.000 I'll see if I can pull this up.

01:06:50.000 But, I mean, people also, A, the law is a teacher, and B, if abortion bans didn't decrease the prevalence of abortion, the left wouldn't be upset by them.

01:07:01.000 That's a good point and one that's very relevant because I think that they're afraid of actually changing the thinking about abortion and about things like parenthood and I think that very much goes back to feminism and telling women that they have to get rid of this unwanted child if it unfortunately happens to them.

01:07:16.000 We don't know how this happens but you know children happen.

01:07:19.000 They just have to get rid of them somehow.

01:07:21.000 And they just fall flat because they're like, well, if you wanted to stay at home and be a mother, you would just have a kid and you couldn't abort them and then you could be a worker.

01:07:28.000 And I think that also gets back to communism.

01:07:30.000 But that's very serious.

01:07:31.000 And I think there's a sort of a pattern emerging of the Democrats becoming the party that hates children with closing down schools for two years because of their deference to the teachers union, which is a vicious and ruthless thing to do.

01:07:43.000 I mean, children kill themselves because of that.

01:07:45.000 Children are going to be illiterate, irreparable harm was done.

01:07:49.000 You see things like, you know, covering up the rape in Loudoun. 0.92

01:07:52.000 You see things like in Florida where they want to groom your kids at the age of, you know, kindergarten into being, you know, transsexual or whatever.

01:08:02.000 This is almost, another thing is, and this is important coming back to the migratory patterns that we're seeing with coronavirus.

01:08:09.000 Democrats love urbanizing areas.

01:08:11.000 If they can build dense buildings, that is how their real way of taking over an area.

01:08:17.000 You want to have more, if you have more than an acre, you're going to be conservative.

01:08:20.000 If you have less than an acre, you're probably going to be liberal.

01:08:23.000 Wasn't that a big thing that, you know, they wanted to urbanize the suburbs?

01:08:27.000 Absolutely.

01:08:27.000 They want to get rid of, and Joe Biden, this was part of his platform, to ban single family zoning.

01:08:32.000 And so they think we should all live in cities and take trains or buses everywhere.

01:08:36.000 And that is an anti-child policy, too, because as anyone who has children knows, you're not going to go to the store and lug home four gallons of milk and, you know, Costco size, you know, whatever, all the stuff that we all do as parents.

01:08:48.000 It's impossible to do in this urban lifestyle.

01:08:52.000 Democrats are obsessed.

01:08:53.000 They want you to live in a high rise.

01:08:54.000 They don't want you to have land.

01:08:56.000 It is really anti, there's a number of ways that the Democrats are anti-family beyond

01:09:01.000 abortion.

01:09:02.000 I think when you get out of cities and actually experience having land and space, you never

01:09:07.000 want to go back.

01:09:08.000 Dude, the cities were another reality before the internet in the 90s, late 90s, early 2000s.

01:09:13.000 It was the only way to go to get involved with anything bigger than Farmtown USA.

01:09:17.000 So I went to New York City in 2001.

01:09:18.000 I want to be an actor.

01:09:20.000 Now you don't need any of that.

01:09:21.000 Online is the city.

01:09:22.000 That's where everyone gets together.

01:09:23.000 Power goes out.

01:09:25.000 Your immediate community is key.

01:09:26.000 If the power went out, then maybe we'd start to form.

01:09:29.000 I think maybe cities was like a stepping stone of our evolution towards.

01:09:32.000 But that's if the power stays on.

01:09:34.000 If the electricity goes out.

01:09:36.000 Man, it's hard to communicate for long distances.

01:09:38.000 link man we're getting we're getting uh solar upgrades we're you know we're waiting on um

01:09:43.000 star link so once we have star link it's like you got i hear it's not that good you know

01:09:49.000 you know initial test runs were you know 100 megabits or something but now i'm hearing

01:09:52.000 that once everyone starts using it it drops down to maybe like 10 or so but it's it's

01:09:56.000 like um lower latency which means you can game and do stuff.

01:10:00.000 This means people could be working out of Montana.

01:10:03.000 So it really allows people to spread out.

01:10:04.000 I think one of the biggest problems is population density in cities.

01:10:07.000 It makes people go insane.

01:10:08.000 No freedom.

01:10:09.000 You could work on a boat with Starlink.

01:10:11.000 You could live on a boat in the ocean.

01:10:12.000 I wonder if that explains some of the irrational behavior, the high-strung nature of some of these, you know, hyper-online leftist journalists and things like that.

01:10:21.000 Just the mental stress of living in a city.

01:10:23.000 Oh, dude, I mean, when I worked at Fusion, my apartment in Brooklyn was two grand per month, and it was, they called it a two-bedroom because the living room and the kitchen were one room, and then the living room was a bedroom.

01:10:38.000 So it was a two bedroom, it was a one bedroom.

01:10:38.000 Oh wow.

01:10:40.000 But that's how they do it.

01:10:41.000 I know a bunch of journalists who lived in railroad apartments.

01:10:43.000 You ever see a railroad apartment in New York City?

01:10:45.000 A railroad apartment is one long room with doors every third of the way.

01:10:52.000 So you have a bedroom with a door in the front and the back, and your roommates walk through

01:10:57.000 your room to get to their room.

01:10:58.000 Oh wow. 0.96

01:10:59.000 It is miserable.

01:11:00.000 It is a bizarre dynamic where they're all lecturing or looking down on everyone in the

01:11:04.000 middle of the country.

01:11:05.000 And the people in the middle of the country are just laughing at them like, dude, I'm

01:11:08.000 sitting on my deck looking at mountains, looking at a, you know, I had some urbanist lecturing

01:11:12.000 me and I was like, I'm looking out my window and I see a fox taking a nap in my apple orchard.

01:11:18.000 Which was true, I have 40 fruit trees and a fox was taking a nap.

01:11:22.000 And their only retort was, you're lying.

01:11:26.000 So they just they can't comprehend that people actually do live this way.

01:11:29.000 And it doesn't necessarily require more money or anything.

01:11:32.000 It's just our way of living is better than theirs. 0.82

01:11:34.000 Let me let me let me tell you about what's a good deterrent for keeping urban city urban liberal types out. 0.82

01:11:42.000 We have the story from TimCast.com.

01:11:43.000 Ohio becomes 23rd state to pass constitutional permitless concealed carry gun law.

01:11:49.000 all how does a number of other states to uphold the second amendment right of

01:11:52.000 private citizens bravo ohio welcome the club west virginia of course uh... constitutional carry

01:11:59.000 because that means that uh... if you're armed in west virginia you pop over to

01:12:03.000 ohio no big deal cuz all constitutional care gotta worry about it so it should 0.55

01:12:06.000 be but man

01:12:08.000 in the state was a great because the problem is if you try to if they get the

01:12:12.000 country were to separate in some sort of civil war there's no way to draw that line because the democrats live

01:12:17.000 in cities There are no blue states.

01:12:20.000 There's only blue cities.

01:12:21.000 And so you'd have to create some crazy border line that just somehow encapsulates all the cities.

01:12:26.000 They'd be cut off in seconds.

01:12:29.000 But they can't create their own democratic enclaves within states when you talk about these issues like guns and abortion. 0.64

01:12:34.000 Those still apply in the cities no matter what they do.

01:12:37.000 When I talk to my friends about concealed carry, when I talk to my more liberal, gun-controlly people I know, it's funny because they can't fathom why it would be a good thing, and it's worrying to them.

01:12:51.000 And I love tweeting it, just triggering the left.

01:12:52.000 I'm like, more guns!

01:12:53.000 Buy guns!

01:12:54.000 And they're like, huh!

01:12:55.000 And they get all angry.

01:12:57.000 I don't want to say the dude's name, but one of those activists, like I tweeted about everyone should buy a gun or something like that.

01:13:02.000 Or it was something silly trolly where I was like, more guns, you know, guns for everyone.

01:13:06.000 And then he got like all offended and scared. 0.63

01:13:08.000 And I'm just, you know, I answered my friends.

01:13:10.000 They're like, why should so what?

01:13:11.000 Why is the good thing?

01:13:12.000 And I was like that regular people have the same rights as the politicians.

01:13:17.000 Like, do you think politicians should have special privileges that regular people don't?

01:13:21.000 Do you think powerful corporations should have special privileges people don't?

01:13:24.000 Do you think billionaires should have special privileges people don't?

01:13:27.000 Well, guess what?

01:13:28.000 The billionaires walk around with guns.

01:13:29.000 The billionaires got armed security.

01:13:31.000 The millionaires got armed security.

01:13:32.000 The politicians got guns.

01:13:33.000 The politicians got armed security.

01:13:35.000 Politicians are allowed to carry in DC.

01:13:37.000 You're not!

01:13:38.000 So when they pass Constitutional Carry, I see it as a great normalizer.

01:13:41.000 In the United States, we're all equals.

01:13:44.000 It's a representative government.

01:13:46.000 Nancy Pelosi is no more politically powerful, legally, than you or I. Now, on paper, and the way reality and society works, of course she's got political power and clout and all that stuff. 1.00

01:13:58.000 The point is, I grew up in Chicago.

01:14:01.000 Politicians are armed.

01:14:03.000 You?

01:14:03.000 Armed security.

01:14:04.000 Screw you. 0.58

01:14:05.000 In one of the worst gun crime, you know, cities, one of the worst gun crime states. 1.00

01:14:09.000 Nah, screw that.

01:14:10.000 Everybody has a right to keep and bear arms.

01:14:12.000 Let's equalize it.

01:14:13.000 If you get to, so do I. I love it.

01:14:15.000 It's pretty awesome because if the fall of the Roman Republic, if the citizens had been armed, Caesar may not have been able to overthrow that Republic.

01:14:22.000 Probably wouldn't have been able to.

01:14:24.000 So it's obvious that we live in a deeply divided country.

01:14:27.000 We just have different opinions and they're probably not reconcilable.

01:14:31.000 The idea of a national divorce is probably a pretty, obviously a pretty radical and untenable probably proposition.

01:14:37.000 But one of the things we can do now at the local level is incorporate new towns.

01:14:42.000 So if you live in a large county, Like where I live in Fairfax, Virginia.

01:14:47.000 Basically all of the South, I think it grew out of the plantation system.

01:14:50.000 The counties are the primary governments.

01:14:53.000 Now it's different in places like New Jersey, where you already have these little towns.

01:14:57.000 But a lot of people live in these sprawling county regions.

01:15:01.000 And one thing you can do is start incorporating new towns and smaller local governments that better reflect your needs.

01:15:06.000 So if you want to live in a communist utopia, go for it!

01:15:10.000 And if you want to live right next door in the right-leaning town, go for it.

01:15:13.000 But states, Republican states, can empower basically to create a new city that can have its own police force, its own laws, its own prosecutor, its own everything, tax rate.

01:15:24.000 You usually need to be granted a charter from the state.

01:15:27.000 So what Republican legislatures need to do is say, look, if any geographical boundary,

01:15:32.000 and you can create it on your own, you can just say, look, these 100 square blocks or

01:15:36.000 whatever, draw your own boundary on a map.

01:15:38.000 You put it on a ballot, you get a referendum.

01:15:40.000 If 51 percent of people want to form a new town, boom, you have a new town.

01:15:44.000 You run it the way you want.

01:15:46.000 So we got Freedomistan out in West Virginia.

01:15:48.000 I think you need, what, a hundred people, residents, to form a town?

01:15:52.000 Is that, is that what it is?

01:15:53.000 Maybe.

01:15:54.000 So then, uh, we'll, we'll, once we reach that number of people, we'll be like, how would you like to be a city?

01:15:58.000 And then, you know, we'll incorporate Freedomistan, and then we'll have a town, and then we'll start creating laws like you can't censor people.

01:16:06.000 And of course, a town of 100 people will still have very little weight against the might of, say, Twitter or whatever.

01:16:11.000 But it'll be really interesting to see how our city's police force deals with filing legal paperwork with the state.

01:16:18.000 They're in violation of city law.

01:16:20.000 How they'll respond to it.

01:16:21.000 And of course, schools is one of the big ones here.

01:16:24.000 Schools will be fun.

01:16:24.000 Oh, yeah.

01:16:26.000 Everyone will basically agree on what schools are supposed to be and what they should be.

01:16:30.000 Pod schooling?

01:16:31.000 That kind of thing?

01:16:32.000 I mean, if we have a school district and we incorporate a town, we're going to be like CRT Get Out.

01:16:32.000 Well, no.

01:16:37.000 Like, I don't care if you teach kids about the... Like, so we talked with one of our guests about this, because he was like, you want to ban people learning about critical race theory.

01:16:45.000 And I'm like, no, no, we want to ban the indoctrination of kids under the ideology of critical race theory.

01:16:50.000 If you came to me and said, I would like my child to read a book about critical race theory and the Bible and Marx and, you know, which one was Adam Smith?

01:17:01.000 Whatever if they want to read out of Smith, I'd be like by all means let's teach the children about the ideology of

01:17:06.000 Adam Smith and Karl Marx Let's teach about the ideology of these critical race theorists

01:17:10.000 Not indoctrinate them. Let's teach them basic math first because we haven't even do that yet. Yeah. No, no,

01:17:16.000 absolutely What I mean, it's funny how we're having a conversation

01:17:20.000 about complex ideological ideas when these kids in these in these in fourth grade should be

01:17:25.000 Learning division that's the issue with all this stuff in the schools

01:17:27.000 It's designed to distract from the fact that we've got 11% kids proficient in American history 24% in math

01:17:33.000 36% in reading those are deeply embarrassing So we bring critical race theory in and it says tests aren't

01:17:39.000 real objectivity isn't a real thing Wanting the right answer is a function of whiteness 0.89

01:17:43.000 It's really just a distraction.

01:17:45.000 The whole debate over critical race theory has really been a bit of a distraction.

01:17:51.000 It all comes down to the academics.

01:17:54.000 When you're doing your book, Race to the Bottom, would you just constantly uncover it?

01:17:58.000 What were you uncovering when it came to the distraction of CRT?

01:18:01.000 Yeah, I mean, that's what I thought it was.

01:18:02.000 Firstly, you know, like, the shutdown was insane.

01:18:04.000 You know, so many families were devastated.

01:18:06.000 Like, how are you supposed to work and watch your kids at the same time?

01:18:09.000 Does anyone even care?

01:18:10.000 And then, of course, CRT. 0.84

01:18:12.000 But when I'm looking into it, like, our kids, our country is so screwed because our kids do not know math. 0.58

01:18:17.000 They don't know how to read and write.

01:18:19.000 What is going to happen?

01:18:20.000 And we're not talking about way out in the distant future.

01:18:22.000 Those statistics I just mentioned are for 12th graders.

01:18:25.000 They're going to be voting next year.

01:18:26.000 They're going to be employed next year.

01:18:29.000 This is the most imminent national security threat to our country.

01:18:32.000 Math is interesting.

01:18:33.000 It's a language.

01:18:33.000 I think of it as, like, if you miss a week of homework and you don't follow, like, what the term means, then when they use the term next week, you don't know what they're talking about, and you have to learn the language as you go.

01:18:42.000 Yeah, so, like, if you miss three or four days of math, it's hard to catch up without learning, because they teach you terms.

01:18:46.000 They're giving you language class, basically.

01:18:49.000 Um, whereas history, you can just pop in and start learning.

01:18:52.000 And then if you miss a spot, you can kind of fill in the gaps.

01:18:55.000 Math is a tough one.

01:18:56.000 This is one of the problems I have with school, man, to be completely honest.

01:18:58.000 That it's like, everyone must learn at the exact same pace, so what else?

01:19:01.000 Those who are too slow are left behind, and those who are too quick must sit there bored and confused and frustrated.

01:19:07.000 It was terrible.

01:19:07.000 It just doesn't work.

01:19:08.000 I'd raise my hand and they would just pass over me because I kept raising my hand over and over.

01:19:11.000 I'm like, why isn't anyone answering?

01:19:12.000 I know the answer.

01:19:13.000 And these are the people that love diversity, but they don't, they argue that people are actually not diverse when it comes to that.

01:19:18.000 We've all got to learn the same thing at the same time.

01:19:20.000 And, you know, it's equity is equal outcomes by race and things like that.

01:19:25.000 And you get equal outcomes by bringing down the top performers to the lowest, the level of the lowest common denominator.

01:19:30.000 And at this stage in America, that's actually very, very low.

01:19:34.000 Cut off the tall grass.

01:19:37.000 20% of people are proficient in 12th grade math that are graduating.

01:19:39.000 These are graduating students.

01:19:41.000 Yep.

01:19:41.000 24%.

01:19:43.000 Wow.

01:19:43.000 And it's not hard to be proficient.

01:19:45.000 It's a pretty low bar.

01:19:47.000 I could see how algebra is confusing if you never learned variables, geometry, angles, trigonometry is a little... Let's be real.

01:19:47.000 Algebra.

01:19:55.000 When you live in the pod hooked up to the metaverse, and they're funneling bug protein mush into your gut straight through a tube, and you live in the realm of Skyrim or Elder Scrolls or whatever, and you have no idea what the real world is like, you're not going to care about any of this.

01:20:10.000 Yeah.

01:20:11.000 Have you guys ever talked about or heard about the philanthropic foundations, like the creepy history of the Ford Foundation and things like that?

01:20:18.000 No.

01:20:19.000 I think you'd be interested in that.

01:20:20.000 Part of when I'm researching all this school stuff, CRT, I think it really comes from those foundations, which are like, you're watching PBS and you'll hear, you know, this segment brought to you by the MacArthur Foundation, or you go to like the art museum and it's like, oh, funded by, you know, the Ford Foundation.

01:20:35.000 It's like, okay, these are just some nice old rich people, whatever, never thought about it before.

01:20:38.000 These are the most important and secretive and creepy forces in American politics.

01:20:43.000 They are so powerful and they all collude.

01:20:47.000 So you've got a bunch of billion-dollar organizations all working together.

01:20:50.000 And so you think back to the early 1910s.

01:20:53.000 You've got Carnegie.

01:20:54.000 He's got a vertical monopoly on steel.

01:20:56.000 Ford, obviously, doing the auto stuff.

01:20:58.000 It's a bunch of monopolists.

01:20:59.000 And Teddy Roosevelt comes along and trusts us.

01:21:02.000 Monopolies are a bad thing.

01:21:03.000 So the families all stash their money in these tax-exempt foundations that live in perpetuity because they're just spending the dividends.

01:21:09.000 So they live forever.

01:21:11.000 This wealth of these monopolists from a hundred years ago is preserved forever in eternity.

01:21:16.000 So they're all capitalists and now the foundations are trying to overthrow capitalism, which is ironic. 0.91

01:21:22.000 But they were also racist creeps.

01:21:24.000 They were capitalist racist creeps from 100 years ago.

01:21:27.000 And so you might have heard about the Kellogg brothers.

01:21:30.000 I don't know. I think there's like a documentary about one really creepy guy.

01:21:33.000 He's like, I don't know, like he did.

01:21:37.000 He made cornflakes to stop kids from cranking it.

01:21:40.000 Yes, yes. 0.98

01:21:40.000 Weird stuff about masturbation, all that kind of stuff. 0.98

01:21:43.000 Did he promote circumcision in the U.S., or am I thinking of somebody else? 0.85

01:21:46.000 I don't know, but he was upset with all these little boys tubing it, so he thought that getting them cornflakes would do something about it.

01:21:51.000 Weird stuff with circumcision, yeah.

01:21:53.000 And so their whole thing was, they were these progressive elites that wanted to make the world a better place. 0.99

01:21:58.000 And to do that, they thought, we should get rid of black people. 0.97

01:22:02.000 And so their thing was eugenics and they, you know, they lobbied, they got laws passed that you could sterilize defective people, people with mental retardation, and essentially minorities. 0.98

01:22:13.000 They went over to Puerto Rico and they sterilized a third of the women over there so you couldn't reproduce Hispanic population into American citizens. 1.00

01:22:21.000 And so by the 1940s, the Rockefeller Foundation had this seven acre warehouse on Long Island where they had boxes showing the family trees of every American family for the purposes of seeing who had good genes and which had genes we should get rid of.

01:22:38.000 Um, these are creeps, social engineering creeps.

01:22:42.000 Um, you know, fast forward, they continue doing similarly racist stuff and it kind of evolves with the time and uses different language to hide it.

01:22:48.000 So by like the 1990s, they're still trying to get rid of black people, but they're doing it through abortion. 1.00

01:22:53.000 And so they're, they're really targeting the black community for abortion. 0.82

01:22:57.000 Anyway, so that's the history.

01:22:59.000 They touch on a lot of aspects of life that I came across them through them pushing critical race theory in the schools and society at large.

01:23:07.000 But I know it sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it's true.

01:23:11.000 And the people don't understand it because the foundations don't.

01:23:14.000 They're not the forward facing.

01:23:16.000 They have fronts.

01:23:16.000 They give money to these other groups that then do the thing.

01:23:20.000 But it's not like they're just donating to groups that were already going to do that anyway.

01:23:24.000 What they do is they'll say, well, we're looking to fund XYZ.

01:23:28.000 And suddenly everyone with a nonprofit says, we've got a grant proposal to do that.

01:23:33.000 We're applying.

01:23:34.000 And so they steer the direction of America by signaling what they're going to put money at.

01:23:38.000 And then all these activists do exactly that.

01:23:40.000 That's horrific.

01:23:42.000 I want to ask.

01:23:42.000 Hold on.

01:23:43.000 So you're saying they had family trees of every American family?

01:23:45.000 Did I mishear that?

01:23:47.000 I don't know exactly how comprehensive it was.

01:23:49.000 It was extraordinarily comprehensive.

01:23:53.000 And that was the gist of it.

01:23:55.000 Now they have ancestry.

01:23:56.000 DNA, 23andMe or whatever.

01:23:59.000 They call it impact investing.

01:24:01.000 What these organizations have been doing and the idea is you put money in a sector until someone bites and then you basically create a sector.

01:24:10.000 It's going to be 21st century devastation.

01:24:12.000 Impact economy is on its way.

01:24:13.000 This is something Allison McDowell talks a lot about.

01:24:17.000 Definitely, you see it on YouTube, where people will like, even just people getting funded, like, you make a video about X, X gets more views, you might want to make another video about X. Who knows whether those views are bots, or what, but somebody is giving you that impact.

01:24:31.000 It's really, really easy to throw money behind a YouTuber that you like, and allow them to keep doing it through the shadows.

01:24:39.000 I haven't used YouTube ads in some years, but back in the day, when I was working more in marketing, you could go on YouTube, find a YouTuber channel you wanted to advertise on, and advertise directly on their channel.

01:24:52.000 That means you're funding them directly without them realizing it, whether it's intentional or not.

01:24:57.000 Maybe you're like, hey, I want to sell these Rock'em Sock'em robot things modeled after the Young Turks, so you'd put it on their channel so that their fans would buy it.

01:25:07.000 That also means that you could buy garbage ads for no reason and just put $1,000 into their channel, which they get a portion of, I think 65 or 70%.

01:25:17.000 So there's ways to like shadow fund certain personalities you like.

01:25:21.000 So it used to be that when it came to journalism, They wouldn't go to a journalist and say, do as you're told or else.

01:25:26.000 They would find someone who already wrote lies and say, want a job?

01:25:30.000 Nowadays, what they do is they find YouTube channels that fit the agenda or what they like and, you know, they make sure the advertising money is going good for them and they don't realize that these YouTube channels that are doing well don't realize they're actually being funded by these organizations.

01:25:45.000 Yeah.

01:25:46.000 Going back to what you were saying about these left-wing progressive organizations that from the get-go were involved with the eugenics project.

01:25:57.000 It's interesting because the left likes to play this game where anytime you point to something that the progressive movement did in the past they say well that was conservative or more conservative because it happened in the past but we as modern progressives don't believe in that so a progressive at that time would not have been on that side of the issue despite the fact that the progressives of that era were quite clearly on that particular side of the issue and so the left can pick up any horrific idea they want And when it turns out to be a complete disaster for everyone, instead of losing any credibility, they just get to say, well, no, no, no, we're forward-thinking, so we tried that, it didn't work.

01:26:31.000 But that's completely missing the point.

01:26:33.000 We have to be careful about which new ideas we're willing to try out, because they can be absolutely disastrous if you haven't vetted them properly.

01:26:40.000 And it's no mystery that many of the most horrific tragedies to befall humankind in the 20th century were a result of progressive thinking.

01:26:48.000 Especially centralized thinking.

01:26:50.000 Centralizing eugenics is massively dangerous. 0.64

01:26:54.000 I understand the idea of finding a spouse that you want to procreate with, and that's a form of eugenics. 0.99

01:27:00.000 You're choosing your bloodline stuff.

01:27:02.000 So that's okay.

01:27:04.000 That's not too far.

01:27:05.000 But when you become the authority and you're like, I want these people to have sex with these people and these people never to have kids, that's danger.

01:27:10.000 Danger.

01:27:11.000 Because who's making that call?

01:27:13.000 You should watch Attack on Titan.

01:27:14.000 Oh, I haven't seen it in the past and I think you might be right.

01:27:17.000 It's the best series of all time.

01:27:17.000 You have to watch it.

01:27:18.000 I hear a Jordan Peterson AI told people to watch it.

01:27:21.000 Yeah, so someone kept super chatting us.

01:27:23.000 Jordan Peterson said to watch Attack on Titan.

01:27:26.000 And so I was like, I hear good things, I'll watch it.

01:27:27.000 And then I did.

01:27:28.000 If you're interested in the idea of eugenics, if you're interested in the idea of white privilege and critical race theory, you're critical of these things, seriously watch Attack on Titan.

01:27:37.000 It's crazy because, uh, it's an anime, and my only real understanding of the show was like, oh, it's about, there's this one last city with three big walls that keep out giant humanoid monsters that eat people called titans, and there are people that have these, like, rope systems that allow them to move around really quickly and use swords to kill giant monsters.

01:27:56.000 Yeah, I like anime.

01:27:57.000 You know, Full Metal Alchemist was pretty awesome.

01:27:59.000 I was a big fan of Naruto.

01:28:00.000 But I was like, eh, maybe I'll watch it.

01:28:02.000 Then when I heard the robot, Jordan Peterson robot, tell me to watch it in the Super Chat, I decided to watch it.

01:28:08.000 Then I realized it's actually a political thriller that touches on the ideas of eugenics, of ancestral sin, and oppression, and white privilege.

01:28:17.000 And it tackles all these ideas.

01:28:19.000 Man, it's some it's it's good stuff and war when there's like warring countries and then you know There's one little girl and she's like you people are evil your your ancestors oppressed us You have any idea how many people you've murdered your family deserve to die and the other girl goes my mom didn't do any of those things She never hurt a single person.

01:28:35.000 Why was she killed?

01:28:37.000 I'm just like if Jordan Peterson did watch it He really would tell people to watch it because like the the white privilege element of it and and the authoritarianism I was like man It really is a good show.

01:28:47.000 Plus, there's giant humanoid monsters that fight each other, so you get that.

01:28:53.000 It's really interesting to hear you say it that way.

01:28:56.000 The far left views conservative as just a different word for bad.

01:28:59.000 So when they do bad things, they were being conservative.

01:29:04.000 Explicitly doing them in the name of progressive ideology, which they were.

01:29:08.000 I mean, back in the 1910s there was this sense of, what do you call it, noblesse oblige.

01:29:13.000 You know, the rich people, they wanted to use their wealth to make the world a better place and they had this trust in science, which became social science.

01:29:21.000 And so they started doing this weird studies.

01:29:23.000 And so the Ford Foundation wiretapped a jury room in a major criminal trial and illegally spied on Americans. 1.00

01:29:29.000 And they made a little spreadsheet and wrote their little PhD style paper on why essentially we shouldn't have juries in America because people are stupid. 0.99

01:29:37.000 And so these are a bunch of, you know, college professor types that think they know better than everyone. 0.99

01:29:43.000 And that's really the progressive ideology, is that we know better.

01:29:47.000 If we could master plan everything, the world would be a better place.

01:29:51.000 And so that's really what the eugenics came from. 0.86

01:29:54.000 And there was no moment—I mean, I would maybe buy it if they said there was some moment where the foundation shifted from conservative to liberal, and we apologized, and there was this transformation.

01:30:03.000 But you can go through every decade.

01:30:04.000 They do the same thing.

01:30:06.000 In the 60s, they went into New York City and they had this idea that we should have segregated schools in the black neighborhoods.

01:30:13.000 And they said, well, really what we want is integration, but the blacks are going to have to prove that they're capable of living in our society first. 1.00

01:30:22.000 And so they use that bizarre logic to actually take New York City backwards and create segregated schools.

01:30:29.000 And they had them do very similar stuff to what we're doing in the schools now, where it's all like self-directed learning.

01:30:35.000 No one's actually sitting them down and actually teaching things.

01:30:37.000 And so the result was predictable.

01:30:39.000 The kids did horrible.

01:30:40.000 They pitched it like, these poor kids in Harlem are going to be reading James Joyce because they choose to.

01:30:45.000 That's not what happened.

01:30:46.000 The schools failed.

01:30:47.000 And they blamed the Asians somehow, because the Asians had nothing to do with it, but they blamed them.

01:30:53.000 And so their excuse was, look, we're the liberal Ford Foundation.

01:30:57.000 We wanted to integrate New York City, but we had to do the opposite and segregate it.

01:31:01.000 And so now you have critical race theory where they're saying, you know, showing up on time and working hard and determination and doing homework.

01:31:09.000 Those are all not part of black culture.

01:31:10.000 They're white attributes. 0.92

01:31:12.000 It's the exact same thing.

01:31:13.000 There was no reckoning.

01:31:14.000 There was no shift from conservative to liberal.

01:31:16.000 The language has changed, but the result is the exact same.

01:31:20.000 It's the perpetuation of this.

01:31:22.000 Wow.

01:31:22.000 Extremely well said.

01:31:23.000 Extremely well said. 0.98

01:31:24.000 And the surest way to keep a black underclass in place is to make sure they don't learn 1.00

01:31:30.000 basic academics. 0.99

01:31:31.000 Wow.

01:31:32.000 Extremely well said.

01:31:33.000 Extremely well said.

01:31:34.000 Have you written about these foundations extensively?

01:31:35.000 written about these foundations extensively? Because I would love to read more about this.

01:31:35.000 Because I would love to read more about this.

01:31:40.000 It's fascinating.

01:31:40.000 That's part of my book, Raised to the Bottom, and it's a book about schools, but it's one of those things.

01:31:44.000 You start looking into schools and you go down this rabbit hole, like everything.

01:31:48.000 So there's this, you know, there's a million, because people think it's all about Loudoun, and that's like one of the weirdest things.

01:31:54.000 I just wrote about Loudoun because that's where I live, right?

01:31:56.000 I mean, there's other reporters that happened and they did the same thing.

01:31:59.000 We're all just being lazy, honestly, and looking at our own school district because it's easiest.

01:32:03.000 The schools, the problems are everywhere, and there's a...

01:32:08.000 There's a nationalizing element to it, right?

01:32:11.000 There's 13,000 school districts.

01:32:12.000 How is the same weird stuff happening in all of them?

01:32:15.000 And that's where I came upon the foundations.

01:32:19.000 The interesting thing is that even in red states and places like West Virginia, we're seeing school boards get taken over by woke cult members.

01:32:26.000 And what happens is when they run for school board, they don't say they're Democrat or Republican, they lie or they just, you know, keep it under wraps.

01:32:33.000 Oh, we're going to teach your kids.

01:32:34.000 And then as soon as they get in, it's wokeness.

01:32:36.000 Yeah, it's interesting you were being a little bit self-deprecating and you said you looked at your own school system because that was easier and you're being lazy but I would argue that that's exactly why we need to have a system which encourages people looking at their own system and what's local to them because it is easier to solve problems on the local level but for whatever reason we've really Spread a way of thinking throughout our culture that you have to be paying attention to what's happening in every other part of the country except for yours Yeah, and I mean a couple of you back back in 2019.

01:33:06.000 I mean I so I spent my career as a You know DC journalist and I thought I'm like at the you know in the center of it covering Congress covering all this important stuff And I realized like local government is actually more important So I just straight up quit my job and started focusing on this local stuff because for you No one was paying attention to it, and that gives—I mean, honestly, it's a little silly that a lot of us in America sit around and talk about our opinion of the president and things like that when we can't really have much of a say, like the average Joe.

01:33:35.000 But where the average Joe can have a say is at the local level, and yet we just thought it was boring, we thought it was lame, and no one was doing anything.

01:33:41.000 It created this vacuum that was filled by a bunch of creeps.

01:33:44.000 Well, they know that the average joke can have an effect at the local level, which is exactly why they try to smear people like the man whose daughter was raped and tried to stand up to the school board about it.

01:33:57.000 And it's why they want the FBI to classify parents who speak out against the school board or speak up for their children as terrorists.

01:34:05.000 Did that dad make a mistake by getting angry and screaming?

01:34:09.000 Who couldn't?

01:34:10.000 Yeah, no, I think he was actually more restrained than probably the average person would be.

01:34:15.000 And, you know, he didn't come forward and tell a story even after that.

01:34:19.000 It wasn't until I called him and he tried to have faith in the system.

01:34:22.000 But the prosecutor wound up trying to put him in jail for disorderly conduct.

01:34:26.000 And this is a BLM Soros funded prosecutor who ran on a campaign of she let like an attempted murderer out like the week before.

01:34:34.000 You know, she's one of these no bail types. 1.00

01:34:36.000 No one gets jailed for disorderly.

01:34:38.000 And so they targeted him and he still had faith in the system.

01:34:42.000 And it wasn't until the second girl was raped, because I already knew about it by that point, but he didn't want me to come forward.

01:34:47.000 He was that kind of guy.

01:34:48.000 He actually did.

01:34:49.000 He's got a bit of a temper, but he was exercising remarkable self-restraint.

01:34:52.000 And when the second girl was assaulted, he said, we can't trust this system anymore.

01:34:56.000 I mean, we've got to just take it into our own hands.

01:35:00.000 Did you ever come across John Dewey when you were studying the history of the school system?

01:35:04.000 Yeah, this guy seems pervasive, this psychologist.

01:35:06.000 He was right there with the Rockefeller Foundation getting started.

01:35:09.000 I don't know.

01:35:10.000 Did he start a foundation or anything?

01:35:11.000 I haven't really looked too deep into him yet.

01:35:13.000 So I mean, I think they were all based out of Columbia University.

01:35:17.000 And that's also kind of the epicenter of critical race theory, tracing it back to critical theory.

01:35:21.000 James Lindsay probably told you all about that.

01:35:22.000 He knows way more than me.

01:35:24.000 But there's some creepy stuff happening in Columbia University Teachers College in the

01:35:28.000 50s and 60s.

01:35:30.000 And yeah, a lot of bad stuff came out of there.

01:35:32.000 And that's where the foundations basically started funding social science, which is not

01:35:36.000 a real science.

01:35:37.000 It's just activism.

01:35:39.000 But they create a lot of papers that get before these local governments and things like that.

01:35:43.000 So you can go to all these meetings of your town council or whatever, but they put this

01:35:46.000 paper and it looks really complicated.

01:35:48.000 It's got a lot of jargon in it.

01:35:49.000 And that's one of the things with the schools too that struck me is they have their own

01:35:52.000 language that is designed to keep people out.

01:35:55.000 It creates a barrier to entry because you don't know their acronyms.

01:36:00.000 I learned about all that through the course of writing the book. 1.00

01:36:02.000 The acronyms are stupid. 0.97

01:36:03.000 I know what they mean, but for the regular people, they're not missing out on anything. 0.99

01:36:03.000 I can explain them all. 0.99

01:36:08.000 The language is artificially and needlessly complex for the sole purpose of keeping regular people out of their own town government there.

01:36:15.000 We should have you on with James Lindsay at some point, talk about all this stuff.

01:36:19.000 But for now, we must go to Super Chat.

01:36:21.000 So if you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show if you really like it.

01:36:26.000 Head over to TimCast.com to become a member because you will be supporting our journalists, and we're gonna have a members-only segment coming up at 11 p.m., and plus we have a new show, Chicken City.

01:36:35.000 In about one week, we almost got 13,000 subscribers, plus I think we had, the last time I counted, nine new baby chickens hatched this morning, and it's all live.

01:36:44.000 Happening very live on chicken city.

01:36:46.000 Well, let's uh, let's let's read some superchats.

01:36:47.000 We got Roberto Lara He says, Amazon swattings now bomb squads.

01:36:54.000 So this is what happens when one is curious about listening to all opinions and truths.

01:36:58.000 The moles always win. 1.00

01:36:59.000 Always win.

01:37:00.000 Uh, yes, the Amazon thing.

01:37:01.000 So, um, I didn't bring it up.

01:37:03.000 My initial plan was like, when we go live today, the first thing I'm going to do is complain about Amazon.

01:37:08.000 They ruined my patio.

01:37:09.000 And then, you know, the bomb squad.

01:37:11.000 I was like, first world problems.

01:37:12.000 Amazon drove over the patio.

01:37:14.000 So we got a new patio built and rain delayed it, then snow delayed it, and it finally got sealed.

01:37:22.000 So it's like an epoxy spray.

01:37:24.000 And that means you can't walk on it or drive on it.

01:37:27.000 And the Amazon driver decided to go off our driveway, onto our new patio, and pressed dirt tracks into the epoxy.

01:37:36.000 Great.

01:37:37.000 So it has to be sanded off and resealed, which is very, very expensive.

01:37:41.000 Very expensive.

01:37:41.000 So I was mildly perturbed.

01:37:44.000 First world problems for sure, but now we're going to be delayed by another two days or whatever, because it would have been done by tomorrow evening or the morning.

01:37:53.000 Now they've got to come in, spend a day getting rid of it, and it's going to be another two days to wait for the seal to, you know, I was thinking maybe we could build like a platform so we can go up and sit up high, but then... We are doing that.

01:38:05.000 Oh, okay.

01:38:05.000 Yeah, we're building a new ramp wall.

01:38:07.000 It's gonna have like a seven and a half foot viewing platform.

01:38:09.000 Oh, out front?

01:38:10.000 Yeah.

01:38:10.000 Nice.

01:38:11.000 Yeah, it'll be nice.

01:38:12.000 Alright, let's see.

01:38:14.000 John Leonard says, stay strong.

01:38:15.000 Don't let the people who swat you in.

01:38:16.000 Ian, keep rolling ones and twenties.

01:38:19.000 I find you to be one of the best parts of the show, even when I disagree with you.

01:38:22.000 I'm extreme.

01:38:24.000 Let's see, Angela Richter says, what mystery is Seamus praying?

01:38:28.000 So I was praying the glorious mysteries of the Rosary.

01:38:30.000 What's that?

01:38:31.000 So there are different mysteries of the Rosary.

01:38:33.000 Basically, they are moments from the life of Christ and the narrative of his life that you meditate on for each decade of the Rosary that you pray.

01:38:46.000 All right.

01:38:46.000 We got this one here for Ian.

01:38:48.000 Jeremy says, I listened to the show on audio the next day, so I apologize.

01:38:52.000 I didn't do anything day of, but this is appreciation for Ian's straight 20s yesterday.

01:38:57.000 Oh, look at that.

01:38:58.000 We just got a super chat that looks really big.

01:39:00.000 It says COP 400,000.

01:39:02.000 I'm not sure what currency is that.

01:39:05.000 Can you look it up?

01:39:06.000 Yeah, I'm curious.

01:39:07.000 It's, you know, YouTube classifies it as red, but I don't know, 400,000 COPs from Sam Jackson.

01:39:10.000 Colombian peso.

01:39:11.000 So what is 400,000?

01:39:12.000 One, two, three.

01:39:12.000 Well, let's see.

01:39:13.000 So yeah, I mean, there is 400,000.

01:39:16.000 Well, let's see.

01:39:17.000 One, two, three.

01:39:19.000 So I would say 10,000 is a dollar or 5,000 is a dollar.

01:39:24.000 5,000 is a dollar.

01:39:24.000 That's going to be us next year with the inflation.

01:39:26.000 I think that's rough.

01:39:27.000 That's a rough estimate.

01:39:28.000 We got a super chat from John out of Texas for $13 million.

01:39:31.000 Thanks, John.

01:39:32.000 I'll get myself a beer.

01:39:33.000 105 bucks.

01:39:35.000 Sam Jackson says, hey, Tim, love your show.

01:39:36.000 Was wondering if you could help some fans out.

01:39:39.000 Freedom Jobs business coin is launching an amazing app tomorrow for the cryptocurrency of the parallel economy.

01:39:45.000 Would be awesome to get a shout out if you have a sec.

01:39:47.000 Thanks so much.

01:39:48.000 Well, if people are interested, there it was.

01:39:50.000 Otherwise, I'm not too sure what that is, but let's read some more.

01:39:54.000 All right.

01:39:56.000 Let's see, what is it?

01:39:57.000 Cats Turbo says, where are the emails and videos Pelosi is holding in regards to J6?

01:40:02.000 Total BS.

01:40:02.000 Truth needs to be told.

01:40:04.000 Yeah, they're withholding a bunch of information, aren't they?

01:40:06.000 Is that what's going on?

01:40:08.000 Yeah.

01:40:08.000 Not sure.

01:40:09.000 Luke, do you know anything about that or not?

01:40:10.000 I don't know.

01:40:12.000 Well, we'll look into it, I suppose.

01:40:15.000 Okay, let's see what we get.

01:40:17.000 Daryl Dothro says, Luke, please comment on George Webb investigations.

01:40:21.000 Imran Awan.

01:40:22.000 Is that something you're familiar with?

01:40:24.000 Do you know anything about that? 0.93

01:40:25.000 Uh, it's just this, like, crazy guy.

01:40:27.000 Oh.

01:40:28.000 Alright then.

01:40:29.000 Let's see, uh, let's grab some other superchats.

01:40:31.000 Lauren Taylor says, this swatting stuff is nuts.

01:40:34.000 Wish the best.

01:40:34.000 Nuts.

01:40:35.000 I have some training I'd love to share.

01:40:36.000 Please look up resume on Spin the UFO.

01:40:39.000 Lauren the gunsmith firearms trainer.

01:40:42.000 Oh, alright.

01:40:42.000 Well, you know, lady, if you want to check that out.

01:40:44.000 I will check it out.

01:40:46.000 Jay Scherzer says Biden has 1,041 days to prove he is the worst president of all time.

01:40:51.000 So don't count him out.

01:40:52.000 Come on, man.

01:40:53.000 That's a good point.

01:40:54.000 That's a good point.

01:40:55.000 When I say he may be the worst, he still has a lot more time.

01:40:59.000 You know, he's, he's going to, he's going to, he's going to be the best president.

01:41:06.000 I mean, maybe there's a possibility that, you know, he gets struck by lightning and is given access to the speed force and then becomes Flash Biden.

01:41:17.000 Yeah, or aliens start controlling people's mind, but his mind, you can't control it because it's like...

01:41:22.000 He's like, I know you can touch me, homie.

01:41:23.000 I'm gonna get him, bro.

01:41:24.000 He's like Fry, you know.

01:41:25.000 Like in Futurama, yeah.

01:41:26.000 You lack the delta brain wave.

01:41:28.000 I'm invincible, bro. 0.95

01:41:30.000 Biden's brain is so addled that they can't find a pathway to control him.

01:41:34.000 So he's going rogue.

01:41:36.000 He does the bare minimum, but they can't mind control him.

01:41:39.000 I have faith.

01:41:40.000 All right.

01:41:40.000 Alright.

01:41:41.000 Mima type says democracy, republic, dictator, etc. are all just system to

01:41:44.000 try and keep good people to keep good people in charge.

01:41:47.000 But you can still have good dictators.

01:41:49.000 Augusto Pinochet rescued Chile from communism, then set up elections

01:41:53.000 and stepped down. He also brutally murdered many people.

01:41:55.000 I heard he threw people out of helicopters.

01:41:58.000 I lived in Chile for a while.

01:42:00.000 That's pretty notorious that he did that stuff.

01:42:01.000 Saved it from communism.

01:42:02.000 Nah, man.

01:42:03.000 He was like a Western, basically put into power by Western forces and did their bidding. 0.67

01:42:08.000 But did westernize the country.

01:42:09.000 Regardless of whether they like communism or hate communism, brutal authoritarians going around murdering people seems to be the problem.

01:42:18.000 You know, that's not the kind of world we want to live in.

01:42:19.000 Dude, they had a coup in Chile before he became into power, where they basically, fighter jets were flying over the Capitol building.

01:42:26.000 I mean, you go to Santiago and they're like, this is where the tanks were pointing.

01:42:29.000 This is like, I don't know, 20 years ago or something.

01:42:32.000 I think it was to get Pinochet.

01:42:33.000 No, no, it was to get Pinochet out.

01:42:33.000 20 years ago?

01:42:35.000 Oh, I gotta look at my history here.

01:42:37.000 Joe Boxer says a no-fly zone is not possible due to the size of Ukraine.

01:42:40.000 Compare it to Kosovo. 0.55

01:42:42.000 Just the east side of Ukraine is 10 times larger than Kosovo.

01:42:44.000 Wow, interesting.

01:42:45.000 Yeah, it was 1973 when they put Pinochet in power, when he joined, came into power.

01:42:49.000 And it was Allende, Salvador Allende was the guy that was president, and he was like, I'm going to commit suicide, and then killed himself in the building.

01:42:56.000 Oh, wow.

01:42:57.000 Yeah.

01:42:57.000 Mitchell Doherty says, heard you mention yesterday how words have lost meaning.

01:43:00.000 Would recommend everyone read George Orwell's Politics and the English Language.

01:43:05.000 Very enlightening on the subject.

01:43:06.000 Puts the madness in perspective.

01:43:07.000 Smart fella.

01:43:09.000 Yeah.

01:43:12.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:43:13.000 says, Joe Biden says, let's go, Brandon.

01:43:15.000 I agree.

01:43:16.000 That was a good time.

01:43:16.000 That's right, he did.

01:43:17.000 That's amazing.

01:43:18.000 So that was actually very frustrating for me, because I did a cartoon called Thanksgiving with Joe Biden, where it was a bunch of animated characters of Joe Biden sitting around the dinner table.

01:43:27.000 It was basically all him.

01:43:29.000 And I used actual Joe Biden clips instead of doing an impression of him.

01:43:32.000 And the punchline at the end is he says, let's go, Brandon, because the food at Thanksgiving is too expensive.

01:43:39.000 And I just ruined the joke, but please go watch it anyway.

01:43:42.000 I was very frustrated because that was the one thing I couldn't find him saying.

01:43:46.000 So I just did an impression of him going, let's go, Brandon.

01:43:49.000 But then I think a couple of weeks later, he actually said, let's go, Brandon.

01:43:53.000 And it was just, it was very, very bittersweet because had I had that earlier in the video, it would have been so much better.

01:44:00.000 The Great Anywho says, guys, no one person is pulling Biden's strings.

01:44:04.000 It's the grandkids and kids fighting over who is getting the family silver because they know that grandpa's not doing so well.

01:44:10.000 Yeah, I don't know, man.

01:44:11.000 The big guy was getting his 10%.

01:44:12.000 That's what we saw.

01:44:13.000 Oh, boy.

01:44:14.000 That's right.

01:44:15.000 We don't know who the big guy is, though, Tim.

01:44:16.000 You know, can't jump to conclusions.

01:44:18.000 Maybe Hunter Biden knows another unbelievably influential player in world politics.

01:44:23.000 Maybe it's Wilson Fisk?

01:44:25.000 You know?

01:44:25.000 Yeah?

01:44:26.000 Obama?

01:44:26.000 And Spider-Man?

01:44:29.000 He got really good friends.

01:44:32.000 I saw a meme and it said, can anyone explain where Fauci's gone?

01:44:38.000 They took the hook that they pull people off stage.

01:44:41.000 They yanked him off.

01:44:43.000 They yanked him off stage, man.

01:44:46.000 The wrong writer says vote in the last election based on all the candidates' tweets and social media.

01:44:51.000 They don't get my vote if they exhibit city-urban-liberal type.

01:44:55.000 Yeah, I agree with that.

01:44:56.000 I do a few things whenever I get text messages.

01:45:00.000 Democrats text me all the time, probably because I made donations to Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard back in the last election.

01:45:06.000 And I'm like, you should probably look at who I donated to before texting me, because then they always do these things where they're like, hello, Tim, I hate Lauren Boebert.

01:45:14.000 That's basically what they send me.

01:45:14.000 Will you donate to me?

01:45:16.000 But typically I'll respond with, how many genders are there? 0.98

01:45:19.000 And they don't respond.

01:45:20.000 Or I'll respond with, you know, I like guns.

01:45:25.000 Yeah, so I have never donated to any left-wing campaigns and I'll get those text messages as well.

01:45:30.000 Really?

01:45:31.000 Yes.

01:45:32.000 See, the Republicans got no game, dude.

01:45:33.000 Exactly.

01:45:34.000 That's it.

01:45:35.000 If Seamus is getting progressive texts, you know?

01:45:38.000 But I'm not getting it from—no, honestly, just stop.

01:45:41.000 I don't care.

01:45:42.000 I think campaign texts are just annoying.

01:45:45.000 But then again, the kind of person who votes Democrat is the kind of person who would vote based on a spam text message, so it probably does work for them.

01:45:55.000 Yeah.

01:45:57.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:45:58.000 says, Tim, cheers to you and the crew for maintaining your composure in light of all the attacks on you.

01:46:02.000 Luke, what a different story.

01:46:04.000 Luke, what a diff story you have to take home, eh?

01:46:08.000 I think maybe we're missing some words there, so I don't know if it's coming through properly, but, you know.

01:46:12.000 Raymond G. Stanley.

01:46:13.000 Yeah.

01:46:14.000 He sends a lot of superchats, maybe he's a fixed one.

01:46:16.000 I like you, Ray.

01:46:16.000 Yeah, Ray, you're great.

01:46:20.000 Lisandrin says, Lisandrin, Donald Trump for the House of Representatives, then the Speaker of the House, then impeach Biden-Harris and Trump is in the driver's seat again.

01:46:30.000 Trump doesn't need to be elected to the House to become Speaker of the House.

01:46:34.000 My understanding is that the representatives can just elect him as Speaker of the House.

01:46:38.000 It can be anybody.

01:46:39.000 So if the Republicans win, they could do that.

01:46:42.000 Anybody?

01:46:42.000 Like they could make you the Speaker?

01:46:44.000 Oh.

01:46:44.000 Yeah.

01:46:45.000 Well, they should do it.

01:46:45.000 I don't think Trump would, though, because Trump is running.

01:46:48.000 You know, on the Milk Boys podcast, he was like, they asked, are you going to run 2024?

01:46:51.000 He goes, well, federal election laws prohibit me from saying things unless, you know, but many people will be very happy.

01:46:59.000 They'll be very, very happy.

01:47:01.000 Maybe he was saying his haters will be happy, though, Tim.

01:47:02.000 We can't jump to conclusions.

01:47:03.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:47:04.000 You know, but that's that's why he gets away with, you know, he's going to run.

01:47:08.000 I wonder if what we're going to see is Joe Biden burns the country to the ground, or Joe Biden almost burns it to the ground, populist Republicans win their primaries, Republicans take over in November, do just enough, because I don't really have a lot of faith in Republicans, to stop the country from completely burning to the ground, and then Trump comes in and pulls us out of a tailspin.

01:47:29.000 Hopefully it won't burn.

01:47:30.000 I think this is an opportunity for American democracy or republicanism to show itself, to functioning as it's built to function.

01:47:36.000 We have checks and balances because if you get one bad, you know, authoritat in office, you get one bad president, you need other branches to keep it in check.

01:47:45.000 So we will find out if it was built right.

01:47:47.000 Here's a very important super chat from Joseph Suchta.

01:47:50.000 He says, Skater Daya!

01:47:53.000 Absolutely.

01:47:53.000 Well, guess I'll die.

01:47:54.000 I love that game.

01:47:57.000 We're talking about Seamus, you're like pro.

01:47:58.000 No, I'm actually really good at rollerblading if you guys want to watch that vlog.

01:48:04.000 Aggressive inline.

01:48:05.000 You gotta make it sound cooler.

01:48:07.000 No, but it's not inline, right?

01:48:09.000 I'm number one aggressive inline skater boy of all time.

01:48:13.000 We did a bit where we had Brett... No, it was real, Tim!

01:48:18.000 Don't do this to me.

01:48:19.000 Why are you going to expose me on air?

01:48:21.000 I'm never going to come on your podcast again.

01:48:22.000 It was a bit where Brett was not wearing your clothing.

01:48:24.000 Exactly.

01:48:25.000 Thank you, Ian.

01:48:25.000 And did not skate around looking like you.

01:48:27.000 That's what I call a 20.

01:48:28.000 Thank you, Ian.

01:48:28.000 The best part of that bit was that whenever Seamus Land did a trick, he yelled his own name.

01:48:32.000 Like some kind of Pokemon.

01:48:33.000 How else are people supposed to know that I'm doing the trick?

01:48:35.000 I go, Seamus!

01:48:37.000 Right, because you're wearing a helmet.

01:48:38.000 Cowabunga! 0.96

01:48:39.000 You gotta yell your own name.

01:48:40.000 Exactly.

01:48:41.000 It's the only way people know.

01:48:42.000 Yeah.

01:48:43.000 Shamus!

01:48:45.000 That was great.

01:48:46.000 Yeah, we planned to do a bunch of other ones.

01:48:49.000 I was thinking it would be hilarious if we hired like a legit like pro motocross guy and just, you know, did the same thing.

01:48:55.000 Convince everyone that Shamus is really good at lots of stuff like skydiving.

01:48:58.000 Deep rolls and stuff.

01:49:01.000 Well, people don't realize, too, is like, you know, this guy sitting here, he actually doesn't even do Freedom Tunes.

01:49:05.000 No.

01:49:05.000 Yeah.

01:49:06.000 Wait, what?

01:49:07.000 Yeah, that's right.

01:49:08.000 Seamus is just an actor.

01:49:09.000 It would be great to get you to a stunt.

01:49:11.000 I'm a crisis actor.

01:49:17.000 I actually animated with my left hand.

01:49:19.000 I'd like to see you do a front roll flip, like in a stunt. 0.98

01:49:22.000 Well, I'm just gonna make it happen.

01:49:23.000 You've seen me do that.

01:49:24.000 That's how I rolled into the podcast studio.

01:49:26.000 Alright, alright.

01:49:26.000 Because you get better every time you do it.

01:49:27.000 Insert name here says, Hi Seamus, Tim, and extras.

01:49:30.000 If the U.S.

01:49:31.000 commits civil war to electric boogaloo, what states other than CA do you think would balkanize?

01:49:37.000 I don't know.

01:49:38.000 I really don't know.

01:49:39.000 That's an interesting question.

01:49:40.000 The South probably would. 0.72

01:49:41.000 I don't think it would be along state lines.

01:49:43.000 You'd see mountain ranges would become new borders and stuff.

01:49:46.000 Rivers.

01:49:47.000 There would be, in the South, there's people sitting in their houses and they have an American flag on their house.

01:49:53.000 And then as soon as it breaks out, they hit a button and it flips over and it's a Confederate flag.

01:49:57.000 And they're like, I've been waiting for that moment!

01:49:59.000 Let's go!

01:50:01.000 Dude, if you had a flag where no matter who looked at the flag, everyone would see something different based on if you were like tricking their mind.

01:50:14.000 So everyone that sees it sees what they want to see.

01:50:16.000 That'd be crazy.

01:50:17.000 What would be the purpose of that?

01:50:18.000 That's the American flag, Ian, because the left sees it and they just see racism because that's all they want to see.

01:50:23.000 You know what I mean?

01:50:23.000 Like if I looked at that and I saw the Confederate flag because my mind is being controlled and you look at it and you see an American flag because your mind is being controlled.

01:50:30.000 But I mean, that's kind of how things are now.

01:50:32.000 That's how things are now.

01:50:33.000 Here's an idea we could do.

01:50:34.000 We could do polarizing lenses.

01:50:36.000 And then we could actually screw with people that way, where it's actually a good idea.

01:50:40.000 We can set up a show at Freedomistan, and depending on which glasses you're given,

01:50:44.000 you'll see something totally different in the art.

01:50:46.000 So like, but there'll be similar enough to where people will describe them similarly,

01:50:50.000 but in different ways to like see how they react to it.

01:50:53.000 So like you put on these polarizing glasses and depending on which way the lights polarized,

01:50:57.000 you'll either see, you know, Joe Biden or Donald Trump, but it'll say the worst president ever or something.

01:51:03.000 Be cool to have instead of glasses, like little things you could pull down and look through and then they put them back up.

01:51:07.000 So the idea is when people come in, they get A glasses or B glasses and then you see how they like react to reality when they see things in different ways, different colors.

01:51:15.000 Yeah, that'd be cool.

01:51:18.000 Mr. Thou says you should name the new chicks in Chicken City after politicians and world leaders.

01:51:23.000 Then you can yell at Putin to get off Hillary.

01:51:25.000 Yeah.

01:51:26.000 They're all in the back sleeping in the incubator.

01:51:28.000 Are they?

01:51:29.000 We're gonna have to take them out soon.

01:51:32.000 We don't know if all of the eggs were fertilized.

01:51:35.000 So at some point, the eggs that aren't hatching, we just Is it ethical to leave?

01:51:40.000 How many chicks can be in an incubator, basically? 0.99

01:51:42.000 They're all fine.

01:51:43.000 Yeah, it's 22.

01:51:45.000 It holds 22, and they can be in there for just up to three days.

01:51:49.000 They don't need to eat because they have the yolk from the egg still in them, but we'll see what happens.

01:51:55.000 If after a couple days some of these eggs aren't doing anything, we're just going to assume they're not fertilized or they didn't make it.

01:52:00.000 And do you know how many are there now?

01:52:02.000 Nine?

01:52:03.000 How many alive?

01:52:04.000 Are they hatched?

01:52:05.000 Yeah.

01:52:05.000 I can't tell looking.

01:52:06.000 I'm really excited.

01:52:06.000 I see a lot of heads.

01:52:07.000 Two Brahma babies.

01:52:08.000 They're the ones with hairy feet, so I'm really excited for that.

01:52:11.000 They're all laying down.

01:52:12.000 And it looks like Roberto Jr.' 's a father.

01:52:14.000 Congratulations, man.

01:52:15.000 Yeah, well, but that means that he was banging his dad's girl, you know what I mean?

01:52:20.000 I'm not gonna judge.

01:52:22.000 I had to go and give a talk earlier to Roberto.

01:52:25.000 I was like, hey Roberto, come over, and he actually walked over.

01:52:28.000 It was funny.

01:52:28.000 And then I was like, so what happened was some of the babies that were born look like what's called a black star chicken.

01:52:34.000 When you breed a Rhode Island Red with a barred Plymouth Hen, you'll get A boy will have a white down on his head, and a girl will be all black. 0.97

01:52:43.000 But we ended up with penguin-looking chicks. 1.00

01:52:45.000 They have white chests, and they're all black, and that's not either.

01:52:49.000 And then I realized, you know, because my brother was like, I don't think those are black stars.

01:52:52.000 And I was like, it must be Roberto Jr., because he's only half Rhode Island Red and half some other breed. 0.93

01:52:57.000 I'm not sure.

01:52:57.000 She's an Easter Egger of some sort.

01:52:59.000 So, and we know that he's been, you know, kicking it with Roberto's girls, so we think that... Sneaking into that house.

01:53:07.000 That's right, that's right.

01:53:08.000 I hear there are eleven hatched so far.

01:53:10.000 Eleven?

01:53:11.000 Eleven! 0.53

01:53:12.000 That's half!

01:53:13.000 So what are you going to do with the chickens when they stop laying?

01:53:15.000 Because I have chickens and, you know, when they get to three years old, you've got to make a decision.

01:53:19.000 Are they just going to be freeloaders or are you going to do something about it and get some fresh ones in?

01:53:23.000 Oh, look, this is the original cast of Chicken City.

01:53:25.000 I mean, these are celebrities.

01:53:28.000 They're going to stay there and do whatever they want forever.

01:53:30.000 They got more important jobs than just laying eggs. 0.82

01:53:32.000 Yeah, they're the stars of the show, man.

01:53:34.000 But the roosters, unfortunately, have to be retired.

01:53:37.000 That don't mean killed, but we're setting up an all-boys dormitory over at Freedomistan.

01:53:41.000 And it's just going to be roosters. 1.00

01:53:42.000 They're useless eaters. 1.00

01:53:43.000 Yeah, that's true. 0.99

01:53:45.000 Actually, I'm really interested to see what happens when we have, like, 30, like, full-grown adult roosters.

01:53:50.000 It's gonna be interesting.

01:53:52.000 Yeah, because, I mean, I have no intention of killing or eating them.

01:53:54.000 It's gonna be a party.

01:53:55.000 Unless we have to.

01:53:56.000 It'll be great to have.

01:53:57.000 But it's gonna be really interesting to see, like, this horde of really, like... I mean, I'm not sure a fox will go anywhere near them.

01:54:03.000 Normally, a fox will kill a rooster. 0.75

01:54:05.000 But if you've got, like, 30 roosters, and they're all screaming non-stop, that's gonna be interesting.

01:54:11.000 Without a weapon, if you went in there and they all attacked you, I mean, that would be bad news.

01:54:15.000 Oh, you'd get messed up.

01:54:16.000 So, my understanding is, because I've talked to a couple breeders and I've read it online, you can house an unlimited number of roosters with other roosters so long as there's no hens nearby.

01:54:24.000 As soon as you put a girl in the mix, they start killing each other to get that girl. 0.95

01:54:28.000 I have Americana chickens that give you red, white, and blue eggs, although the red is more brown and the blue is more green, but they're called Americana.

01:54:36.000 It's close enough.

01:54:37.000 What colors do the Easter Eggers give you?

01:54:39.000 Green.

01:54:40.000 Yeah, it's, it's, yeah.

01:54:40.000 Okay.

01:54:41.000 Yeah.

01:54:42.000 And then we, we, my, my brother bought some fertilized eggs.

01:54:45.000 There's like a blue one.

01:54:46.000 So I think it was a blue one.

01:54:48.000 We'll see.

01:54:48.000 We're incubating out of these 11 that hatched.

01:54:50.000 We also have another, um, we had, we had 56 total.

01:54:54.000 That's a lot of chickens. 1.00

01:54:55.000 The silkies are so funny.

01:54:56.000 You saw the silkies?

01:54:58.000 I didn't see yours.

01:54:58.000 I know.

01:54:59.000 I know what they look like.

01:55:00.000 We got silkies.

01:55:01.000 Ostriches or something.

01:55:02.000 They look like llamas or whatever.

01:55:03.000 Yeah.

01:55:04.000 I was just thinking that. 0.97

01:55:05.000 My neighbors have alpacas and it's the same ridiculous hair. 0.97

01:55:08.000 I think one of the TikTokers that went to the White House has the same hair. 1.00

01:55:11.000 Oh my gosh. 0.56

01:55:12.000 But you can't put silkies and silky boys in with a regular farm breed, because they'll pack the head and kill it. 1.00

01:55:21.000 Wow.

01:55:21.000 Yeah, you got to look up a picture of the silkies.

01:55:23.000 I mean, none of them like it. 0.96

01:55:25.000 And they're so goofy, man. 0.99

01:55:28.000 They're the silliest, fluffy chickens. 0.99

01:55:30.000 They like to be held. 0.97

01:55:31.000 Someone was telling me they're like the friendliest chickens.

01:55:33.000 They're like the panda bears of chickens.

01:55:35.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:55:35.000 Oh boy.

01:55:37.000 So when you mix them with regular farm chickens, you get what's called a satin.

01:55:41.000 So you get very soft feathers.

01:55:43.000 And so we're gonna take, once Roberto Jr.

01:55:46.000 are retired off to the dormitory, we're gonna put the full-grown silky rooster in to, you know, sire his young.

01:55:51.000 Are you gonna get any other animals when you move to West Virginia?

01:55:54.000 Goats.

01:55:54.000 Yes, that's what I'm doing too.

01:55:55.000 I would be down to have some goats here in the meantime.

01:55:57.000 And probably a dog.

01:55:58.000 So it's a multi-step process.

01:56:01.000 It's a really interesting thing about the production chains.

01:56:04.000 I've got a sawmill, so I'm cutting down trees on my property, milling it into lumber, using the lumber to build a barn, the barn to house goats, the goats to get milk, the milk to make yogurt, and so by the end of the day I've transformed my chainsaw into yogurt.

01:56:19.000 That's amazing!

01:56:19.000 That's so cool!

01:56:20.000 That's awesome.

01:56:21.000 How long have you been doing that?

01:56:23.000 It's taken me about a year, you know, I just do it on weekends.

01:56:25.000 I'm almost done with the barn, so then I should be able to get the goats this spring.

01:56:28.000 That's awesome.

01:56:29.000 Yeah, someone mentioned silkies like to cuddle. 0.99

01:56:31.000 That's awesome.

01:56:33.000 And so their coop, we're doing external coops for the, because we got extra chickens, we're gonna have a bunch separate from Chicken City next to it. 0.73

01:56:41.000 But they got delayed because of, you know, Amazon or whatever.

01:56:43.000 But so they're all sitting in this box with food and water and they all just cuddle on top of each other.

01:56:48.000 Yep, one of them jumped out and tried escaping but you know it happens. All right, Orwell was a prophet says West

01:56:54.000 Virginia Republican state Senators just voted down recognition of natural immunity.

01:56:57.000 They need to be primaried for this They are clearly in favor of COVID passports and social

01:57:02.000 credit scores. I agree. Yep. I can't wait till we start expanding freedom a stand

01:57:06.000 We've got solar and being installed soon The new building is being put up.

01:57:11.000 It's going to help dramatically increase security.

01:57:14.000 We're going to end up with two different campuses, essentially, where we do a lot of editorial stuff and nonprofit work here.

01:57:19.000 And then we do show stuff and shenanigans over at Freedomistan.

01:57:22.000 But then we're going to have way more space.

01:57:23.000 We're going to have, it's just 50 acres.

01:57:25.000 It's going to be fantastic.

01:57:26.000 So I'm excited for that.

01:57:27.000 But that puts us in West Virginia, officially, where we're going to be way more active in local politics.

01:57:33.000 And it's going to be to the point of silliness.

01:57:36.000 Like, we're talking about, you know, Incorporating a town.

01:57:39.000 We want people to run for local office and government and be, you know, if you come out and you're working with us, we want you to be involved in politics to whatever degree you can.

01:57:46.000 Or maybe you're someone who comes out and gets involved and then we start just fighting for our values and the things we believe in.

01:57:52.000 That's what it's gonna be all about.

01:57:53.000 Plus, as we expand the company, it's gonna bring more and more jobs and hopefully bring more people of like-mindedness into this area and help revitalize the area, help set the politics on the right track.

01:58:03.000 I'm excited for it.

01:58:05.000 All right, let's grab some more Super Chats here.

01:58:09.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:58:10.000 says, y'all get that goat from Tiny Tails Farms.

01:58:13.000 We did not get a goat from anyone yet.

01:58:15.000 Not yet.

01:58:16.000 But we're not quite ready to get a goat just yet.

01:58:19.000 Unless Seamus wants to raise some goats.

01:58:22.000 Wait, what?

01:58:22.000 When did I... Goat farm?

01:58:24.000 I have to think about it.

01:58:26.000 Yes.

01:58:26.000 Is it... Little Tail Farms?

01:58:28.000 Is that who you're talking about?

01:58:29.000 You said Tiny Tails?

01:58:30.000 Yeah, Little Tail Farms.

01:58:30.000 Are you going to get full size or like the miniature Nigerians?

01:58:33.000 Probably miniature.

01:58:34.000 Goats.

01:58:34.000 Because I don't know if we have the wherewithal to take care of...

01:58:38.000 I think you get like a gallon a day from the bigger ones.

01:58:41.000 A gallon a day?

01:58:42.000 Yes.

01:58:42.000 I think so, yeah.

01:58:43.000 Correct.

01:58:43.000 But after they have babies, right?

01:58:45.000 Well, of course.

01:58:46.000 But the issue with the Nigerians is, so you're gonna get a smaller amount, but really high fat, like 6%. 0.65

01:58:52.000 And if you're making cheese and stuff, I feel like that's good.

01:58:54.000 But I feel like if you're just drinking a glass of milk, you're gonna get pretty fat drinking 6% milk.

01:58:59.000 Yeah, it's pretty solid.

01:59:00.000 No, I don't think we'd be drinking the milk.

01:59:01.000 We'd probably make cheese.

01:59:03.000 Yeah, that sounds fantastic.

01:59:04.000 But then it's only after they give birth, right?

01:59:06.000 Yeah.

01:59:06.000 Slightly before and after.

01:59:09.000 And so we've got to keep making more goats.

01:59:11.000 Yes.

01:59:11.000 But if you're taking the milk from the mom, what does the baby drink?

01:59:14.000 You know, it's like with humans, if you keep breastfeeding, your body's going to keep making it as long as you keep pumping it. 0.99

01:59:19.000 The baby doesn't actually need it that whole time.

01:59:21.000 OK.

01:59:22.000 Maybe we might get full size, but we were just told to stay away from the boys.

01:59:26.000 Oh, yeah.

01:59:27.000 Stay away from the boys.

01:59:27.000 I would get full size.

01:59:28.000 Why not?

01:59:29.000 Nobody wants boys with anything.

01:59:30.000 No.

01:59:30.000 I had bees and it's the same thing.

01:59:33.000 The boys do.

01:59:34.000 This is really... I think I'm becoming a feminist because when you look at the animal kingdom, boys are just useless. 1.00

01:59:39.000 They don't do anything. 0.99

01:59:41.000 The bees are freeloaders.

01:59:42.000 The boys, you know, you don't get any eggs from boy chickens.

01:59:45.000 You don't get any milk from boy goats. 0.99

01:59:46.000 Men are just terrible. 0.67

01:59:49.000 Yeah, but it's only because humans can protect the females, right? 0.97

01:59:52.000 I'll tell you what, chickens, roosters, they will sacrifice themselves to save their girls.

01:59:58.000 They're heroic.

01:59:59.000 Yeah, that's the craziest thing, watching these videos of the rooster attacking a giant snake.

02:00:03.000 We had a hawk attack early on and the rooster yelled and then ran to the door and then waited as the other chickens all ran in and then he ran in.

02:00:13.000 Watch it.

02:00:13.000 We throw food in and the rooster will watch as the girls eat and just like look around.

02:00:17.000 Chivalry isn't dead.

02:00:18.000 Yeah, man.

02:00:19.000 The noble rooster.

02:00:20.000 Now, that also means he takes what he wants.

02:00:22.000 Oh, yeah.

02:00:24.000 You see them at sometimes like zoos.

02:00:26.000 They got to put this like diaper slash holster on them to protect.

02:00:29.000 Yeah, the saddles.

02:00:30.000 We have some of those.

02:00:30.000 Otherwise that skins, the feathers going to fall off.

02:00:33.000 He protects the girls, but they got it. 0.67

02:00:35.000 They got to give it a cost.

02:00:36.000 There's a price.

02:00:36.000 There's always a price.

02:00:40.000 Alright, get a pair with Sully says if you get a dog for farming or livestock protection get a Marama?

02:00:45.000 Is it Marama?

02:00:47.000 They're fantastic shepherd dogs.

02:00:49.000 Leave them out all year and they will be happy.

02:01:54.000 Now that you're not on there voicing Fauci anymore because he has disappeared from the Fauci scene, well, maybe he'll come back.

02:02:01.000 Do a cartoon of Fauci alone.

02:02:03.000 I'm sure he'll come back to apologize at some point.

02:02:06.000 Here's the pitch.

02:02:07.000 How about, okay, hear me out.

02:02:09.000 All right, I'm listening.
