Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - CDC Says DOUBLE Mask As MSM Pushes lab Leak COVID Theory w-Matt Braynard

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:32.000 there's an impeachment going on I guess and And, uh, you know, before the start of the show, we're sitting here thinking, like, what's the big story?

00:00:49.000 That's often what we ask.

00:00:50.000 Like, what is something we really need to talk about that's really important, having an impact?

00:00:54.000 And then at first we were like, we've got to talk about this COVID thing, double masking.

00:00:57.000 The Washington Post putting out this story where they're pushing the lab leak hypothesis.

00:01:02.000 Oof.

00:01:03.000 I was told by the Daily Beast that was a fringe alt-right conspiracy theory.

00:01:07.000 You're not allowed to talk about it.

00:01:08.000 Well, far be it from me to push those crazy theories.

00:01:10.000 That's the Washington Post.

00:01:12.000 But then we were like, I don't know.

00:01:13.000 Maybe the impeachment thing is kind of important.

00:01:15.000 We should talk about it.

00:01:16.000 So then I actually made the title about impeachment.

00:01:18.000 And then we all kind of just were like, I don't know if anyone actually cares about this because it's totally meaningless.

00:01:24.000 He's going to get acquitted.

00:01:25.000 Nothing's going to happen.

00:01:27.000 It's like they're trying to distract us from what's really going on.

00:01:29.000 So then I was just like, whatever, dude.

00:01:30.000 We'll talk about it.

00:01:31.000 We'll talk about what's going on with this double masking thing. 0.98

00:01:34.000 It's ridiculous.

00:01:35.000 They're telling people now to wear a disposal mask with a cloth mask over it. 0.88

00:01:38.000 And I'm just wondering at what point they're gonna start telling people to put a plastic bag over their head and just tie it a knot.

00:01:43.000 Because that's the best way to keep it from spitting on people, I suppose.

00:01:46.000 But they're also saying that the lockdown's not ending until winter.

00:01:50.000 Like, we're gonna do a whole nother year.

00:01:53.000 They're saying that even if you get the vaccine, nope, you gotta still lockdown.

00:01:56.000 So what's the point of any of this?

00:01:58.000 I have to wonder if they wanted the lockdown for some other reason.

00:02:01.000 Because there's this tweet from Zuby where he's like, if you think the goal, if you look at this as though the goal is to demoralize and destabilize people's lives and the economy, it makes more sense. 0.95

00:02:12.000 And I'm like, Maybe that's why they don't want the vaccine to work.

00:02:15.000 Maybe that's why the media keeps putting out these stories to scare people.

00:02:18.000 Maybe that's why they're saying that even if you get the vaccine, it's not going to work because Trump actually pulled off something they didn't want to happen.

00:02:23.000 Maybe they like the idea.

00:02:24.000 Now, look, I'm saying maybe.

00:02:25.000 I don't know.

00:02:26.000 All I know is it's still going to be bad.

00:02:28.000 They're telling everybody to put masks on.

00:02:30.000 They're doing butt swabbing in China. 0.83

00:02:32.000 And it's just absolutely nonsensical.

00:02:34.000 Meanwhile, they're trying to tell us that impeachment matters, and I'm not sure it does.

00:02:37.000 And we're all just kind of tired of this, of the absurdity of this news.

00:02:40.000 So we're going to talk about this, but we're also going to talk about a bunch of other issues.

00:02:43.000 We got the, uh, good pillow controversy, I guess?

00:02:47.000 You know, uh, so David Hogg of Parkland Notoriety started a company to sell pillows.

00:02:53.000 But shout out to Cameron Kasky, who basically said, I'm sorry to all the supporters, it's come to this.

00:02:57.000 And it's a really interesting situation between, you know, these kids.

00:03:00.000 And we also have Gina Carano of Deadpool and Mandalorian.

00:03:05.000 They're trying to get her cancelled.

00:03:07.000 And they've been trying to get her cancelled because she's one of the few people working in Hollywood who is speaking out against a lot of this BS from the far left.

00:03:14.000 And I think it's really important that we talk about it.

00:03:16.000 Plus we got Aunt Jemima. 0.98

00:03:18.000 We got a lot of stuff to talk about.

00:03:19.000 Aunt Jemima's gone.

00:03:20.000 Pearl Milling Company.

00:03:22.000 Like you're eating granite powder or something.

00:03:24.000 Whatever.

00:03:25.000 Anyway, we'll start talking about this stuff, and joining us today is Matt Brainerd.

00:03:29.000 Again, Matt.

00:03:29.000 Do you want to just briefly introduce yourself?

00:03:31.000 Yeah, I'm Matt Brainerd.

00:03:32.000 I'm the executive director of Look Ahead America.

00:03:34.000 I'm a political consultant who worked on the 2016 Trump campaign, helping him get elected by running strategy and data.

00:03:42.000 And I kind of ran this little project called the Voter Integrity Project in the aftermath of the November 2020 general election.

00:03:50.000 Be very careful talking about that, because I don't want to get anybody in trouble here.

00:03:52.000 Yeah, because they're like, their finger is floating over the button that says ban, and they're like, come on, say it!

00:03:57.000 Say it!

00:03:59.000 We also have Lucret Caskey's chillin'.

00:04:00.000 Today's a very important historic day.

00:04:03.000 I don't know if you guys realize what it is today, but today officially guys racism is over as of course and Jemima

00:04:10.000 syrup is now Pearl Mining Company syrup milling milling.

00:04:14.000 Whatever it doesn't matter forget about the falling wages forget about the collapsing economy the loss of civil

00:04:20.000 liberties the huge health care costs at least right now an African American woman. 1.00

00:04:24.000 Lillian Richards who was the goodwill ambassador to the syrup company in 1925 has been cancelled so yes racism

00:04:32.000 defeated somehow.

00:04:33.000 Well, it's because her actually the art of her wait Was that that wasn't even her picture though wasn't it like they changed the picture.

00:04:40.000 She was the official goodwill ambassador I don't know if it was officially her but she was like a folk hero in her community and and looked up to by by a lot of people Well, she's gone now.

00:04:50.000 Well, she's gone now.

00:04:51.000 Who wants to eat pearl milling? 0.75

00:04:53.000 It's like you open the box and you're gonna get like talcum powder, you know what I mean?

00:04:56.000 You're like, I don't wanna eat that.

00:04:58.000 I gotta be real with everybody though.

00:05:00.000 You really shouldn't pour refined flour, high glycemic sugar wads into a pan full of grease and then literally take a bottle of their refined high fructose corn syrup and squirt all over it for breakfast.

00:05:11.000 That sounds really unhealthy.

00:05:13.000 We should be doing more health advice.

00:05:14.000 Welcome back, beautiful and amazing human beings.

00:05:16.000 My name is Luke Grodowski of WeAreChange.org, and I release videos and sell t-shirts on WeAreChange.org.

00:05:22.000 Thanks for having me.

00:05:23.000 Well, because COVID is such a very serious issue, we've specifically requested of Ian to take it more seriously than normal, and he is.

00:05:31.000 I don't think anyone can hear you.

00:05:32.000 I can sort of hear the mumbles.

00:05:34.000 I don't think anyone can hear you.

00:05:36.000 I can sort of hear them all.

00:05:38.000 I'm excited to talk about this Trump impeachment with Matt.

00:05:44.000 I'm wearing it because Matt didn't get a COVID test.

00:05:48.000 Okay, I think you can take it off.

00:05:49.000 Morse code.

00:05:50.000 Use Morse code with your nose. 0.94

00:05:52.000 Tim, what was that anal swab we did when I got here? 0.96

00:05:55.000 Ian administered it, don't look at me! 0.84

00:05:58.000 So you actually bought these?

00:05:59.000 So I bought those, I had to do it.

00:06:01.000 You know what?

00:06:01.000 So these are these space helmets this dude made and sold.

00:06:05.000 And it's like, I gotta be honest.

00:06:07.000 They say if you're on a plane, it's more comfortable to wear that than a mask.

00:06:11.000 That's actually probably true.

00:06:13.000 Yeah, when the ventilation is going, it's kind of nice.

00:06:15.000 Yeah, it's got a fan inside and HEPA filters.

00:06:17.000 It cools your head down.

00:06:18.000 Yeah, I wouldn't, I could, it probably would suck to be on a plane for several hours wearing a mask.

00:06:23.000 That thing, you just go to sleep and you get fresh air blowing in.

00:06:23.000 It does.

00:06:25.000 You can see the official unboxing on Tim's Instagram page.

00:06:28.000 Yes, well, Ian put it on, well, Luke gave it to Ian upside down and then he put it on.

00:06:32.000 But I think it's absurd to wear the thing in public, just wear the mask.

00:06:35.000 But I can understand the plane argument.

00:06:37.000 So yeah, we'll talk about all that too, I suppose.

00:06:41.000 And we'll definitely talk about impeachment, and we'll talk about the CDC double-masking.

00:06:44.000 I wonder if you have to wear a double mask if you're wearing it spaced out.

00:06:46.000 That's what I was wondering.

00:06:47.000 Who do we have to ask?

00:06:49.000 Oh, dude, Ian.

00:06:50.000 You should wear a mask while you're wearing that.

00:06:51.000 You probably should.

00:06:52.000 It's safer.

00:06:53.000 And then a mask over it.

00:06:54.000 That's right.

00:06:55.000 Yeah.

00:06:56.000 All right, everybody, we'll jump into news.

00:06:58.000 We also have, at StarPatch, let's press all the buttons.

00:07:00.000 Yes, I am here in the corner laughing at these guys.

00:07:02.000 This is an awesome space helmet.

00:07:03.000 I've not worn one yet.

00:07:04.000 They look pretty cool.

00:07:06.000 But before we get started, head over to timcast.com to check out our members-only content. These are segments and even some full episodes

00:07:14.000 that are only available for those who are members of the website. We set up the website

00:07:18.000 because we could get banned at any moment, especially as Matt just mentioned, there are

00:07:21.000 some issues pertaining to the election that he's like, we'll be careful about because, you know,

00:07:26.000 one wrong word, like I said, their fingers hovering over the ban button. They just want to

00:07:29.000 press that button, just nuke So, go to TimCast.com, become a member, and in the event that happens, you'll get access to all of this content.

00:07:35.000 But more importantly, we do have members-only content, and we're gonna have a bonus segment up after the show, where we'll probably talk about, I don't know, some spicy things that YouTube probably wouldn't like, and, you know, the grifters will cut out of context, but hey, that's the way it is.

00:07:47.000 Also, don't forget to like, share, subscribe, hit the notification bell.

00:07:52.000 Let's talk about impeachment first, just a little bit, to go over some of these issues.

00:07:58.000 More importantly, We were talking a moment ago, Matt was mentioning that there are many people who are involved in the Capitol, you know, the storming of the Capitol, who had no idea what was going on.

00:08:08.000 And now they can't get lawyers.

00:08:10.000 So I do want to go over that a little bit, but we'll start with, you know, where we're at with Trump, because the big news, I suppose, if you care about impeachment, and I gotta be honest, I find it really, really hard to care about it, is that his lawyers are doing miserably.

00:08:23.000 Like, really, really bad.

00:08:25.000 And Trump is apparently really angry.

00:08:26.000 We have this story from the New York Times.

00:08:27.000 It says, meandering performance by defense lawyers enrages Trump.

00:08:32.000 The former president was particularly angry at Bruce L. Castor, Jr., one of his lawyers, for acknowledging the effectiveness of the House Democrats' presentation.

00:08:41.000 Well, apparently the Democrats have put up some, like, they're arguing over his tweets.

00:08:47.000 They put up some edited video to make their case.

00:08:50.000 I honestly just think it's a big waste of time because we know what's going to happen in the end, right?

00:08:54.000 Yeah, there's not going to be a conviction.

00:08:57.000 And so the problem, I think, that the president's attorneys have is they don't understand what's going on, is that they are making this very narrow constitutional argument.

00:09:06.000 They're almost doing this in a very bad way, as if there really is something to be decided, as if they were in a courtroom, as if it was truly a case.

00:09:15.000 And it's not any of those things.

00:09:16.000 This is an old-fashioned Soviet-style show trial.

00:09:19.000 But unlike in the Soviet system, you actually, both sides get to do a show.

00:09:23.000 So, and I've used this term before, it's asymmetric warfare with the left, the Democrats are rolling in here with, it's just the loudest, they know they're not going to get a conviction.

00:09:32.000 It's basically just about trashing Republicans, trashing Trump, trashing his supporters, and they're just, it's full on propaganda.

00:09:39.000 And they're not, they're throwing everything in there, like high impact video, granted it's edited and it's phony, et cetera.

00:09:45.000 But then the Republicans walk in and they're like making like a legal argument, like it's some, you know. 1.00

00:09:50.000 Man, Republicans are dumb. 0.99

00:09:51.000 Well, you know, these attorneys, I'm not sure how committed they are to the party because they're Democrats. 1.00

00:09:58.000 So I'm just saying.

00:10:00.000 And one of them sued the president twice just a year ago.

00:10:02.000 So what?

00:10:03.000 What?

00:10:04.000 Yes.

00:10:05.000 Why did he hire these people?

00:10:07.000 You know, I'm not privy to that process, but I'll tell you, I've heard from many people, including very prominent Republican attorneys, more than one by the way, who have just been dumping on the performance.

00:10:18.000 And the thing is, look, if it's a show trial, you fight fire with fire.

00:10:22.000 You roll in there with all the instances of the left provoking riots, like serious riots resulting in people getting murdered, cops being murdered, cities being burnt to the ground,

00:10:33.000 Democrat politicians calling for people to stand up and fight, and you go whole hog.

00:10:38.000 And you can go anywhere you want.

00:10:40.000 You can talk about Chinese influence compromising President Biden and some of the steps he's

00:10:44.000 already taken with his administration so far.

00:10:46.000 You can do whatever you want.

00:10:47.000 It's like it's a blank canvas.

00:10:49.000 So just get in there and paint the best picture you can.

00:10:52.000 But these guys, I, the thing is, I almost feel like It's a waste of time.

00:10:57.000 We don't need to waste any time on it.

00:10:59.000 They should walk in and go, Donald Trump has free speech and he didn't do it.

00:11:01.000 a year from now this will be completely forgotten because it's

00:11:04.000 you know i i think maybe it's the right thing and i actually respect that

00:11:07.000 it's a waste of time we don't we don't need to waste any time on it they should

00:11:11.000 walk in and go uh... donald trump has free speech and uh... you know he

00:11:14.000 didn't do it uh...

00:11:14.000 can we rest our case that would be brilliant if they did that but instead

00:11:17.000 they're doing like a real legal as if it was a real impeachment trying to make a 0.57

00:11:21.000 real case and doing a bad job of it I remember looking through Twitter, I forgot who said this, but someone jokingly said it was definitely the deep state that made Donald Trump hire inept lawyers.

00:11:32.000 Which is a very interesting point.

00:11:34.000 The Independent also has a very curious article that reads, Trump's inept lawyers draws comparison to Joe Pesci's character in My Cousin Vinny.

00:11:45.000 If you remember that movie, that was a pretty funny movie back in the day.

00:11:47.000 I loved it myself.

00:11:48.000 But again, a lot of people are criticizing these people.

00:11:50.000 But more importantly, A lot of mainstream media people are treating this like it's the Super Bowl, like everyone cares.

00:11:56.000 And in reality, no one really cares.

00:11:58.000 There's not a lot of energy behind it.

00:11:59.000 But what else is there to report on right now?

00:12:01.000 And you would think they would take this opportunity to move forward with their agenda, their causes, but they're stuck in this, again, Trump derangement syndrome.

00:12:08.000 They're stuck talking about Trump.

00:12:10.000 No, no, no.

00:12:10.000 And they're beating a dead horse.

00:12:11.000 No, look, they're the dealers.

00:12:13.000 They're the dealers of the drug.

00:12:15.000 They're the ones dishing out the Trump derangement tablets to all the unsuspecting town's children.

00:12:20.000 Have they been dipping into their own stash?

00:12:22.000 A little bit, yeah.

00:12:24.000 They're hot on it.

00:12:25.000 They have been, but I think now they know they're dealing Trump derangements.

00:12:29.000 Well, here's the question we gotta ask.

00:12:30.000 Last time there was a phony impeachment, that was completely consuming all of Capitol Hill and the entire media right at the time this little Flute like thing was starting to spread out of China and 0.90

00:12:42.000 slowly reaching other parts of the world Just no one's really paying attention to it

00:12:47.000 President Trump made comment about fighting it in his State of the Union speech that Pelosi tore in half and ignored

00:12:53.000 and then called him a Racist for trying to limit travel to China

00:12:57.000 That's what that was what was happening when the last impeachment trial was consuming everything

00:13:01.000 So I wonder what's what are we missing now? Because this is what they're completely focusing on

00:13:07.000 Mm-hmm. I mean Joe Biden's weird executive orders like the one that allows for Chinese propaganda 0.93

00:13:13.000 Uganda. 52.

00:13:14.000 52 of them.

00:13:15.000 52 so far?

00:13:16.000 That's a record.

00:13:16.000 Wow.

00:13:17.000 Honestly, that time story.

00:13:20.000 Oh yeah, I mean, but they're bragging about that.

00:13:21.000 They're not trying to hide it.

00:13:23.000 Maybe it's the electrical grid rule suspension.

00:13:26.000 Joe Biden's allowing Chinese-made goods to be used in our electrical grid, suspending a rule from Trump for seemingly no reason.

00:13:31.000 And I've actually heard criticism from some people who are relatively Democrat saying, I understand Trump's rules may have been bad, but shouldn't you review them and not shut them down first?

00:13:42.000 Or more and more U.S.

00:13:43.000 just review it and then if it comes to you come to the decision to get rid of it then you do

00:13:47.000 isn't it weird to like just immediately snap your fingers say china you can build stuff for our

00:13:50.000 electrical grid we're going to review if it makes sense or more and more military u.s military

00:13:54.000 convoys going through syria yeah what's the status of that i've heard about that i heard it was

00:13:58.000 debunked syrian propaganda no there have been several of them at this point now and nobody's

00:14:03.000 really pushing it or asking questions yes there's been many kind of international organizations

00:14:08.000 that have been detailing large convoys 50 plus vehicles going into syria into of course the

00:14:14.000 northeast region where the territory is contested between Syrians, Kurds, Russians, and now the United States that is

00:14:21.000 permanently watching all the oil fields there as if it's theirs.

00:14:25.000 So that's that's happening and and slowly but surely the reports that are coming in is that

00:14:29.000 more and more troops are on their way there. And it's always American troops coming through Iraq. Is that what it

00:14:34.000 Well, it's not just Iraq. There's also Jordan. The United States has bases all around.

00:14:34.000 is?

00:14:38.000 That's just you know, Syria, but of course Iran there.

00:14:41.000 So there's a there's a lot of troop mobilization and movements not just by the United States

00:14:45.000 but also Russia in that region as well that is also doubling down and sending more troops into that region.

00:14:50.000 I wonder what they're gonna do with oil when the economy is shut down and nobody's using it.

00:14:55.000 Yeah, that's another big factor here economically, especially with, you know, America becoming energy independent.

00:15:01.000 Now under these new restrictions by Biden, it looks like the United States is going to have more of a kind of appetite for oil.

00:15:08.000 So this is why some people are saying we're going to be going back into the Middle East.

00:15:12.000 I think it's far beyond that.

00:15:13.000 I think it's far beyond natural resources.

00:15:16.000 There's bigger things at play here, especially the geopolitical hegemonic power play that's being made between Russia, China and the United States on the world stage.

00:15:25.000 Yeah, the shipping lane through the Suez Canal is not to be understated.

00:15:28.000 That's like the central blood flow of the United States shipping.

00:15:31.000 Yeah, if you look at major conflicts throughout world history, they have taken place on shipping routes.

00:15:37.000 So shipping routes are essential.

00:15:39.000 This is why China also expanded its territory into the South Chinese Sea, because it's along a major trading route that, of course, usually sparks the largest conflicts.

00:15:48.000 When we look back at history, it usually concludes first the stopping of trade.

00:15:53.000 That's interesting because the U.S.

00:15:54.000 is running drills right now under Biden in the South China Sea.

00:15:57.000 Yeah, with Japan and Australia doing war games, of course, kind of saber-rattling against China, who has been also doing a lot of consecutive war games, especially in the month of January.

00:16:10.000 In January, out of 31 days, for 30 days, China ran drills and ran over the airspace of Taiwan, specifically drilling for its invasion.

00:16:21.000 So sorry guys, but this sounds really important, but we've got an impeachment.

00:16:25.000 No, you're right.

00:16:26.000 Yeah, that's a good point.

00:16:29.000 International war is meaningless.

00:16:30.000 Forget about that stuff.

00:16:31.000 So he's getting impeached?

00:16:33.000 Wow.

00:16:34.000 You mean he already got impeached?

00:16:37.000 Oh, he got impeached?

00:16:38.000 Yes.

00:16:39.000 Now they're going to try and convict him.

00:16:40.000 I can't even joke about this.

00:16:41.000 And who is this guy you say?

00:16:42.000 They're trying to impeach the president of the United States.

00:16:45.000 The former president.

00:16:46.000 Donald Trump.

00:16:48.000 Say his name with me, guys.

00:16:49.000 Donald Trump.

00:16:50.000 It's all about Donald Trump.

00:16:51.000 He's not the president.

00:16:52.000 He's playing golf.

00:16:54.000 And they're like, we got to convict this guy.

00:16:56.000 I think that before Trump, there wasn't that much news.

00:17:00.000 I feel like maybe I'm desensitized to it.

00:17:01.000 I can't tell.

00:17:02.000 I'm in this warp world.

00:17:03.000 You got pulled into a vortex we've all been in.

00:17:05.000 Yeah, they were making so much news because of his tweets, and now it's just kind of back to normal, where there's not that much news.

00:17:12.000 Well, this is Pelosi's priorities, but I will tell you that if they weren't doing this right now, their fundraising would just...

00:17:20.000 I mean even NPR was talking about this immense legal battle that's happening in Florida right now with the local county trying to kick Trump out of Mar-a-Lago saying that he can't live there permanently.

00:17:31.000 I'm like, why are we obsessing about this?

00:17:33.000 Why is NPR talking about this?

00:17:34.000 And they went on for a full 30-minute segment.

00:17:37.000 I love listening to NPR because I love I actually really like their science and technology sections when they talk about those issues.

00:17:44.000 But politically, it's very interesting to see their perspective because I love to see how other people think.

00:17:49.000 And they are non-stop obsessing about this impeachment.

00:17:51.000 They're thinking it's the Super Bowl.

00:17:53.000 It's a major sporting event.

00:17:54.000 They were covering it live, play-by-play blows.

00:17:57.000 And when you look online, there's not even a fervor.

00:18:00.000 No one really cares.

00:18:00.000 Everyone's over it.

00:18:01.000 Everyone wants to see.

00:18:03.000 But this is the big moment that we're in, because everyone wants to see what the Democrats can do for them.

00:18:07.000 We voted for the Democrats.

00:18:09.000 They got elected.

00:18:10.000 They're in there.

00:18:10.000 What are you going to do for me?

00:18:12.000 What are you going to do to make my life better?

00:18:14.000 People are waiting there, and they're like, we've got Trump here.

00:18:17.000 We're going to beat this dead horse even more.

00:18:19.000 And people are like, we don't care.

00:18:20.000 What they're saying is very simple.

00:18:22.000 I know, America, that you voted for the Democratic Party.

00:18:26.000 And we here, we Democrats, are going to do everything in our power to get you exactly what you need in these trying times.

00:18:32.000 By impeaching a guy who's not president anymore!

00:18:35.000 Hey! 0.99

00:18:36.000 Put on the clown makeup, drop the circus tent, put on the do-do-do-do-do-do-do music and then, yeah, have a little car drive around and people are swinging around on the trapeze and like, ooh, Donald Trump's getting impeached.

00:18:47.000 Don't look over at the decimated small businesses.

00:18:50.000 Don't look over at the mass evictions that are looming because we've got a big ol' pile of bread and circuses right here for you on the TV.

00:18:57.000 I mean, the American people are hurting, just like I brought up in my introduction.

00:19:01.000 Failing wages, collapsing economy, loss of civil liberties, huge health care costs.

00:19:06.000 I don't see any of the Democrats dealing with any of these issues.

00:19:08.000 Have you ever?

00:19:09.000 At all.

00:19:10.000 Of course not.

00:19:11.000 But there's going to be a lot of disenfranchised new voters because, I mean, how many votes did Joe Biden get?

00:19:17.000 He got more votes than any other president in American history.

00:19:22.000 So there's going to be a lot of people who are like, I participated.

00:19:24.000 I was a part of the system.

00:19:25.000 I got evil Trump out.

00:19:26.000 Now things are going to be better. 0.90

00:19:27.000 And now they're going to be slapped in the face with reality.

00:19:29.000 No, here's corporate globalist America screwing you. 0.99

00:19:32.000 Family friendly show.

00:19:33.000 I got, I got all the things I want to say here.

00:19:35.000 We're going to save it for the post show.

00:19:37.000 Uh, but, but they're ramming you with their corporatism and you have no other thing to do than submit to them getting their own way. 0.99

00:19:46.000 And it's ridiculous and it's sickening. 0.76

00:19:48.000 We could talk about Mandalorian or WandaVision. 0.96

00:19:51.000 I still want to talk about foreign policy.

00:19:53.000 I love foreign policy.

00:19:54.000 I want to talk about the vestigiality of the political establishment at this point.

00:19:58.000 It seems like there are no value, you know, when a gland in your body becomes vestigial, it's no longer used or needed.

00:20:04.000 It seems like they're just, like you said, meandering at some point.

00:20:07.000 Well, no, they are siphoning away our money to use for their lifestyles.

00:20:12.000 Partly because they're incapable of handling the money because they've given the power of the money over to a private company and they're just letting the Federal Reserve run with it.

00:20:20.000 So they can't fix monetary policy.

00:20:21.000 They can't even audit the Federal Reserve!

00:20:23.000 But let's not underplay when they're like, I must have $10 million for Pakistani gender programs and speedboats in Sri Lanka. 0.77

00:20:30.000 Giving themselves raises, of course, they're good at that.

00:20:32.000 The raises thing I don't really care that much about.

00:20:35.000 Oh, I do.

00:20:35.000 I can't stand it.

00:20:37.000 That should not be their authority.

00:20:38.000 That drives me insane.

00:20:39.000 What, to get a raise?

00:20:39.000 To give themselves a raise with my money.

00:20:42.000 Well, so the problem is there's no real way to solve the salary problem of Congress.

00:20:45.000 Like Andrew Yang has said, give them a million bucks so they're not incentivized to work for lobbyists.

00:20:49.000 But that wouldn't change anything.

00:20:50.000 The lobbyists would just offer more money.

00:20:52.000 The companies would offer more money.

00:20:53.000 And some have said, make it so they can only make as much as the median American job, and then they'll be taking the lobbying.

00:21:00.000 It's like, there's no real way to solve that problem.

00:21:01.000 I'll tell you, the bigger problem is when they're like, we have to help America by sending $500 million overseas during a pandemic when people's jobs are destroyed.

00:21:11.000 We'll give your dollars to someone else in a different country with different rules and less lockdown or what?

00:21:16.000 We desperately need a new industry.

00:21:18.000 I don't want to derail this particular conversation, but I think a lot about graphene, you know.

00:21:21.000 And if we can make America, like, the graphene industrial power of the 21st century, I think that that will own our economy. 0.82

00:21:28.000 That's just one small component.

00:21:29.000 It's like the steel.

00:21:30.000 If we were the steel industry of the 1900s, now we can be the graphene industry.

00:21:33.000 But we have to do it, you know.

00:21:34.000 With these politicians that don't understand it, it's not going to happen.

00:21:37.000 We need new people. 1.00

00:21:39.000 Well, I think impeachment is dumb. 0.98

00:21:41.000 Sounds like you should run for office, my friend. 0.95

00:21:43.000 Yeah, the Graphene Party are behind you.

00:21:44.000 Let's do it.

00:21:45.000 And the Fed.

00:21:46.000 Key slogan.

00:21:47.000 They'll get smeared.

00:21:48.000 But let's go back to the one thing I asked you about earlier, Matt.

00:21:50.000 So this is kind of important.

00:21:52.000 There were a lot of people who went to the Capitol in D.C., they went to the Capitol on the 6th, and they found their way inside the building through no storming of anything.

00:22:03.000 There's videos where the doors have been opened and people were bumbling and confused and walked in while the cops nodded and tipped their hats and even took selfies with them.

00:22:11.000 Some of these people are being charged with what, like misdemeanors?

00:22:15.000 Disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, unlawful entry of a restricted building, And you know, it goes beyond just the charges themselves, because the effect of this is it's destroying these people's lives.

00:22:27.000 A week ago, I sent on Look Ahead Letterhead a letter to the acting Attorney General and the FBI director asking them to drop all charges against Nonviolent, basically trespassers, protesters who happen to find themselves inside the Capitol building because this is a political persecution.

00:22:47.000 This isn't just routine prosecution of crimes.

00:22:50.000 This is persecution, the level that the federal government is going after these people.

00:22:53.000 and destroying their lives. 0.72

00:22:55.000 And the test of it is simple, is that over and over again, when the left did this, they

00:22:59.000 repeatedly did this during Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings.

00:23:02.000 They stormed the buildings.

00:23:04.000 All of them.

00:23:05.000 Yeah, and they intimidated senators.

00:23:07.000 They tried to interfere with what the Senate was doing.

00:23:10.000 All of the people who did this were, if they were arrested at all, they were taken off

00:23:15.000 site and given a fine of $35 to $50 and let go to do it again.

00:23:20.000 But this happens and the reaction, now granted, I'm not talking about people who did true violent actions or really tried to destroy property.

00:23:29.000 This is solely targeted at the people who happened to walk in and all of these charges require something called mens rea.

00:23:34.000 I mean, you had to know that it was a crime to do it.

00:23:38.000 You had to know you weren't allowed to go in there, into a building the public's routinely allowed to on almost any given day of the week outside of COVID period, right?

00:23:45.000 It's a public building.

00:23:46.000 They walked in.

00:23:47.000 They took some selfies.

00:23:47.000 They left.

00:23:48.000 And this letter, it's on lookaheadamerica.org, the website.

00:23:51.000 So I go through all the legal arguments, but here's a problem.

00:23:54.000 And this occurred to me as I was researching this.

00:23:56.000 I spoke to multiple Republican attorneys, one gentleman, Republican attorneys, one of the most prominent Republican attorneys in the entire country.

00:24:04.000 And I said, well, You know, is anybody helping these folks out with attorneys?

00:24:08.000 Because I'm hearing some of them are getting trouble.

00:24:10.000 And he told me that two problems.

00:24:12.000 Number one, Republican or conservative-leaning attorneys don't have a lot of practice with rioters like the left does.

00:24:18.000 Because the left, the ACLU, they're on site.

00:24:20.000 They're wearing vests so you know who they are.

00:24:23.000 The right has no experience with this, but he said there's another problem with taking these cases.

00:24:27.000 And he said there's a problem with optics.

00:24:30.000 Then I talked to somebody else who was working with a conservative law professor.

00:24:34.000 Many of these people, again, they just walked into a building.

00:24:37.000 They didn't know they were doing anything wrong.

00:24:38.000 They thought it was a peaceful protest.

00:24:40.000 That's what got them in this trouble.

00:24:43.000 This conservative law professor is trying to set them up with legal representation because these are serious charges.

00:24:50.000 And he said that while there were conservative-leaning attorneys who were willing to take the cases, their law firm says, told those attorneys, you are not allowed to take those cases.

00:24:58.000 And it's been a real problem.

00:24:59.000 And you know, since I wrote this letter, about five or six of these individuals have reached out to me, and I have been able to get them representation.

00:25:05.000 But it just seems, and here's the contrast, this is the one I mentioned earlier, is that Democrat-leading white shoe firms in DC were cheerleading their attorneys going down to Gitmo to pro bono Republicans, man, sorry.

00:25:19.000 It's the politicians.

00:25:20.000 It's the leadership. 1.00

00:25:21.000 They are pathetic, spineless losers. 1.00

00:25:23.000 them. And these people, these boomers who wandered through a building they 1.00

00:25:26.000 shouldn't have and took a selfie with a cop smiling with them are now facing

00:25:29.000 pretty serious charges and having their whole lives destroyed. Can't get legal

00:25:33.000 representation and that's a that's absolutely abhorrent.

00:25:35.000 Republicans man sorry it's the politicians it's the leadership they are 1.00

00:25:40.000 pathetic spineless losers. It's just that simple. They're like I'd 1.00

00:25:44.000 like to represent them.

00:25:46.000 You know, everyone deserves their day in court, but it's bad optics.

00:25:49.000 Oh, okay.

00:25:49.000 So when, you know, Antifa was burning down, Black Lives Matter was burning down cities, and Kamala Harris, the current vice president, tweeted, let's raise money to get these people out of jail.

00:26:01.000 And what, 19 people is the official death count?

00:26:04.000 It's actually substantially higher.

00:26:05.000 How many people died during the riots, but as a direct result of riotous action, it's like 19.

00:26:11.000 There are cops who got shot and paralyzed.

00:26:13.000 And Kamala Harris literally can go on Twitter and say, hey everybody, give money to these people who are committing acts of terrorism. 0.99

00:26:19.000 And a Republican goes, that bumbling dotard of an old woman, she can't have a lawyer. 1.00

00:26:24.000 Now just to make it clear, at Trump's inauguration, over 200 people were arrested for violence, like assaulting police officers, burning cars, burning police cars. 0.98

00:26:34.000 They all had their charges dropped.

00:26:36.000 All dropped.

00:26:37.000 And here's what perplexes, and this is what frustrates me most.

00:26:41.000 I run Look Ahead America.

00:26:41.000 It's a voter registration organization, right?

00:26:44.000 Why am I the one that has to write this letter?

00:26:49.000 You have helped us out by bringing publicity to it.

00:26:52.000 A few others have as well.

00:26:54.000 But where's the Republican political leadership standing up?

00:26:58.000 These are their people.

00:27:00.000 I think you just explained it very simply by uttering an oxymoron.

00:27:04.000 Republican leadership.

00:27:06.000 Sorry, it doesn't work.

00:27:07.000 You look at what Mitch McConnell was doing, you know, were any of these Republicans fighting for... You know what?

00:27:13.000 Just outside of impeachment, outside of Trump, outside of this, when do they fight for anything their constituents actually want?

00:27:19.000 Other than just tell people, no, wait, don't.

00:27:21.000 There was only one guy who ever did that.

00:27:24.000 Who's that?

00:27:25.000 It's the president.

00:27:25.000 Trump?

00:27:26.000 I mean, look, many fair criticism of, but he never sent anybody's son off into a war that he started.

00:27:26.000 Yeah.

00:27:33.000 Yep.

00:27:34.000 Send a lot of drones.

00:27:36.000 Look, this is what I tweeted.

00:27:37.000 You give someone the option between a ham sandwich and you, and a lot of people are going to take it.

00:27:40.000 how Trump could be elected again.

00:27:57.000 That's why the guy won in the first place.

00:27:59.000 He increased the amount of votes he received the second time around by what, 10 million?

00:28:03.000 More than 10 million, right?

00:28:04.000 Yeah, it was like 10 or 11 million, I think?

00:28:06.000 Maybe more.

00:28:07.000 Historic.

00:28:08.000 And that was the most votes a sitting president ever got.

00:28:11.000 In history.

00:28:12.000 In history.

00:28:12.000 In the United States.

00:28:13.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:28:13.000 And then Joe Biden, of course, the greatest president who's ever lived, sent just a ripple, a wave of charisma and energy across this nation that truly inspired everybody, garnering the most votes we've ever seen of any candidate ever.

00:28:26.000 Remarkable man.

00:28:27.000 That's that.

00:28:27.000 You know, his speech is his YouTube page definitely reflects it.

00:28:31.000 It's true.

00:28:31.000 It might be signs of a trend that there are just more voters, more activated voters now since the Internet.

00:28:36.000 That's exactly it.

00:28:36.000 Look, early on, Ian, you mentioned that there was more news and I was I've been talking to a lot of people during the

00:28:43.000 election.

00:28:44.000 There were a ton of people I knew who had no business in politics, like just literally have never been involved.

00:28:49.000 And they were so active and they knew everything.

00:28:51.000 And now they're gone once again.

00:28:53.000 Talking about nonsensical BS, you know, and I shouldn't be that mean.

00:28:57.000 They're talking about just, you know, hokey stuff.

00:28:59.000 The movie they went and saw, and how their friend, you know, spilled a beer last night, and it's just normal stuff. 0.90

00:29:04.000 But during the election, it was like, Trump is a fake! 1.00

00:29:06.000 Fascist! 1.00

00:29:07.000 We must stop him! 0.98

00:29:07.000 Yay! 0.98

00:29:08.000 And everyone was cheering and dancing.

00:29:09.000 And that was one of the strategies of the Democrats on the left, in terms of getting new votes, is making it a cultural movement.

00:29:17.000 So that really did help.

00:29:18.000 It doesn't help when the candidate they were voting for is this, like, bumbling old dodard who, you know, you can't really understand when he yells, But whatever, it's interesting times, to say the least. 1.00

00:29:31.000 They took something seriously that the right has never taken seriously, which is voter registration.

00:29:36.000 You know, putting aside, there's issues of illegal ballots.

00:29:40.000 We're not going to talk about that.

00:29:40.000 But after the election in Georgia, I went down and canvassed neighborhoods, entire neighborhoods, that Stacey Abrams, with the help of massive millions of dollars from people like Zuckerberg, went down and registered to vote, new voters, and turned them out.

00:29:55.000 And on our side, and I say this as a non-profit, on the patriotic side, there's nobody doing that.

00:30:01.000 I mean, that's what I'm trying to do with Look Ahead, but when people look at those astounding numbers, I used to go to a big meeting of all the people on the right, non-profits, some partisan groups, Once a week in D.C.

00:30:13.000 It's a very famous meeting.

00:30:14.000 I'm not going to name check it.

00:30:16.000 But every year at the beginning of the year, I would get up and read the statistics.

00:30:19.000 In key states, these are the number of new Democrats registered.

00:30:22.000 These are the number of new Republicans registered.

00:30:24.000 And the Democrats, every year, it was a substantially higher number in all these swing states.

00:30:28.000 Higher and higher, higher.

00:30:29.000 And these are very important.

00:30:30.000 The White House would be at this meeting.

00:30:32.000 Both houses of Congress.

00:30:34.000 And I would get up.

00:30:35.000 I would give that little talk.

00:30:36.000 I would walk into the lobby so people could come chat with me.

00:30:39.000 Nobody cared.

00:30:40.000 Nobody paid any attention because they're all focused on, you know, whatever was hot at the moment or, you know, some minor controversy that was long forgotten.

00:30:48.000 But those are the things that pay dividends in the long run that the left has been doing it for.

00:30:52.000 And you're right to point it out.

00:30:53.000 The left has been doing it for a very long time.

00:30:55.000 They're not only organized politically with fundraising and with getting out the vote, they're organized in terms of the ability to riot and have legal observers present.

00:31:03.000 They understand when they go and riot, destroy things, they wear masks.

00:31:06.000 These Trump people who went to the Capitol building were like smiling and waving for cameras, just totally oblivious to what was going on.

00:31:11.000 Yeah, really interesting insurrection where, in a country where everybody can or does have an AR, they didn't bring any.

00:31:19.000 Karate-style insurrection, right?

00:31:20.000 Open hands.

00:31:21.000 Well, not even that.

00:31:22.000 The smiling, bumbling, and respecting the velvet ropes.

00:31:25.000 When Donald Trump was being inaugurated, 250 or so individuals got arrested, mostly wearing all black and smashing windows and starting fires.

00:31:36.000 And the police had no real way to charge anyone because they were wearing masks.

00:31:41.000 So what did they do?

00:31:42.000 They said, conspiracy. 1.00

00:31:43.000 And the judge said, are you nuts? 0.85

00:31:44.000 Wearing a hoodie and a mask in public is not evidence of a conspiracy. 0.97

00:31:49.000 And they tried arguing it was because you know what they were doing.

00:31:51.000 We all know what they were doing, but at a legal standard, they didn't have enough.

00:31:54.000 And these people All basically got released, except for those who pleaded guilty.

00:31:59.000 Yeah, they took plea agreements.

00:32:00.000 Where's the ACLU on this?

00:32:02.000 With the left, what do you mean?

00:32:04.000 I know what they're tweeting, I know that they're partisan, but historically they represented, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, individuals and groups like the KKK.

00:32:13.000 They fought for important values for free speech for everyone, regardless of that speech, and now they're tweeting about genders?

00:32:20.000 And you would think, but this is important here, but this is very critically important for them to understand this because this is essentially a right to regress, a right to protest that's going to be used as a way to stop other protests in the future.

00:32:33.000 And if you care about protesting, if you care about speech, If you care about this huge hammer coming down on a group of individuals, whether you like them or you don't like them.

00:32:41.000 Yes, there were some bad apples.

00:32:42.000 Yes, there were some bad events.

00:32:43.000 Yes, there was some violence.

00:32:44.000 It all deserves to be called out.

00:32:46.000 But essentially, they're setting a precedent here that's going to be very dangerous for them in the future, as of course, predictably, as I've been saying, the Biden administration is going to use this Orwellian power, not just on the right, but on the left very soon as well.

00:33:01.000 When have they ever learned about how it comes back for them?

00:33:04.000 They've been demanding censorship for years, and now YouTube is cracking down on progressive YouTubers.

00:33:09.000 I remember back in the day, even volunteering for the ACLU in New York City, and being like, I like this organization, I like these people, they stand up for free speech no matter who it is, and they're fighting for individuals' liberties against the government.

00:33:24.000 And and and literally I remember meeting with them I'm spending my time as a teenager being like these are the good guys doing something That's right.

00:33:32.000 And now I'm you know, and we know exactly what happened I'm so what happened was Donald Trump announced there was going to be a moratorium on travel from seven seven nations and the ACLU all of a sudden saw a massive spike in donations.

00:33:45.000 They were suing Donald Trump So the left rallied around the ACLU and then the ACLU defended the right of these alt-right individuals in Charlottesville the right to hold their events and the left went how dare you and started leaving the ACLU

00:33:57.000 in droves.

00:33:58.000 So the ACLU said, hold on a minute guys, should we uphold our principles or take money?

00:34:04.000 And they took that sweet money because they didn't want to offend all those new donors

00:34:08.000 who were pumping in those bucks.

00:34:09.000 So now they've gone from the American Civil Liberties Union to the anti-Civil Liberties

00:34:14.000 Union, literally advocating for censoring speech.

00:34:18.000 That's the opposite of civil liberties.

00:34:19.000 Amazing.

00:34:20.000 The ACLU that you were talking about in your past, they got canceled.

00:34:25.000 Bye.

00:34:27.000 Yeah, cancelled and converted.

00:34:29.000 I'm not happy about that.

00:34:30.000 It's infiltrate, destroy, rebuild.

00:34:33.000 These woke cultists kick the door in, slowly start taking positions of power, and then once the woke mob on the outside cancels them, then the woke people inside say, see, here's what we have to do, it's what people want, we gotta do it.

00:34:46.000 When you say cancelled, were they like, did people resign?

00:34:49.000 No, it's that political pressure.

00:34:51.000 You may recall, no one was really around back then, but there was an American Nazi party and they would want to have a parade every year somewhere.

00:35:00.000 And locals would say, we don't really want that in our neighborhood.

00:35:03.000 But then the ACLU would show up and say, hey, they have a right to political speech, we're going to defend it.

00:35:07.000 That takes a certain level of courage and fortitude.

00:35:11.000 That integrity from law students through law schools to practice is gone.

00:35:16.000 Everybody is terrified of not conforming to what is popular at the moment.

00:35:24.000 And the idea of somebody rebelling or standing up in opposition to what the masses or the woke mob thinks, it's pretty much disappeared on the left.

00:35:33.000 It kind of disappeared, I think, with Justice Kennedy, because he was kind of the leader of that.

00:35:40.000 Well, you know what the problem is?

00:35:41.000 Look, I get it.

00:35:42.000 Collectivists are going to be collectivists.

00:35:44.000 The problem is there's no counter to this. 0.97

00:35:48.000 The Republican Party is basically the old dotard sitting in a rocking chair saying, hold on there, mister. 0.99

00:35:54.000 And that's all they do. 0.97

00:35:55.000 There's very few, I should say, There are a lot of people that are speaking out against this.

00:36:00.000 There's intellectual dark web types.

00:36:02.000 There's the, you know, there are some leftists who are anti-woke.

00:36:05.000 But for the most part, there's zero opposition. 0.86

00:36:09.000 And what you have is a bunch of losers who, I love it, when they, when people I know, even some of my friends, I'm very disappointed in them, will be like, I just can't stand all this cancel culture stuff and this weird, like weird, like these weird ideologies they're pushing. 0.94

00:36:21.000 And I'm like, oh, have you tried speaking up, speaking up against it? 0.97

00:36:24.000 Oh no, oh no, not me, I couldn't do that. 0.99

00:36:26.000 Well then shut up and don't complain. 0.97

00:36:28.000 They preemptively cancelled themselves because of optics. 0.99

00:36:31.000 They don't want to look bad.

00:36:32.000 This is, this is, well you know what you can do for those people?

00:36:35.000 They'll drive them nuts is bring back that old metaphor and say, well, first they came

00:36:39.000 for Alex Jones and you didn't say anything.

00:36:42.000 But they love that.

00:36:43.000 They love that metaphor.

00:36:45.000 I've got a bunch of friends who are regular people, and they're just terrified and spineless. 1.00

00:36:50.000 That's pathetic, and it's the definition of pathetic. 0.99

00:36:52.000 When you care what other people think about you. 1.00

00:36:54.000 When you care what the audience thinks.

00:36:55.000 It's not that they care what people think about them, it's that they're like, but I'll lose my job.

00:37:00.000 They're like, I can't speak out because of what they'll think.

00:37:03.000 People, I love this because I've been saying it for years, they think that as the woke mob goes door to door, kicking it in and dragging people into the street, they say, if I just don't say anything, my house will be the one they skip.

00:37:16.000 They didn't skip any of the doors.

00:37:18.000 They didn't skip any of the houses.

00:37:19.000 They're going door-to-door after every single industry.

00:37:22.000 You.

00:37:23.000 Will.

00:37:24.000 Canceled.

00:37:24.000 Get.

00:37:25.000 Period.

00:37:26.000 The only problem is, you had an opportunity to stand up and speak up, and you didn't do it.

00:37:30.000 Now, I know a lot of people who watch this show probably did, because, you know, if you're watching this, you're probably not happy with what's going on, but too many people don't.

00:37:38.000 They won't.

00:37:39.000 And that's it.

00:37:40.000 There was a really horrifying Twitter thread from James Lindsay.

00:37:43.000 You guys know James Lindsay?

00:37:44.000 Yeah.

00:37:44.000 He basically said it's over.

00:37:46.000 They won.

00:37:46.000 There's no winning this fight.

00:37:48.000 The best you can do is defend yourself, don't back down, stand up for what you believe in, and hope it doesn't last that long.

00:37:56.000 But it could last centuries.

00:37:57.000 Yeah, it's here.

00:37:58.000 It's not a fight to take.

00:37:58.000 Don't fight it.

00:37:59.000 You can circumvent the problem and fix it from the outside without engaging in it.

00:38:03.000 The problem is, you know, even if you look at the American Revolution, most people, like the plurality, are just scared and don't want to do anything.

00:38:14.000 And that's really, really sad.

00:38:16.000 It is.

00:38:17.000 It's like you're watching a forest fire.

00:38:19.000 And there's someone saying, if you and I turn this hose on, we can make it go away.

00:38:23.000 You say, but I might get burned.

00:38:25.000 I'd rather back away and watch the forest burn to the ground than do anything that brings risk to myself.

00:38:31.000 And yet these people reap the benefits of those who are willing to sacrifice to make the world a better place.

00:38:36.000 And that is one of the biggest, biggest problems we face in this country.

00:38:39.000 For the longest time.

00:38:40.000 It's always been there's that meme of there's this beautiful like this is like I guess you can call it a cliff There's this like loving looking couple looking on to this beautiful city and then underneath it's a bunch of soldiers in the dirt holding them up It's always been those who are willing to sacrifice who provide for those who aren't and that's and and people need to accept responsibility for what's going on that word sacrifice is like is like Muted.

00:39:04.000 It's been diffused, the power of the word, what it really means to sacrifice your well-being.

00:39:09.000 Whether it's that you're ridiculed in public or that you have to suffer trauma by seeing someone bleed out next to you.

00:39:15.000 That alters you forever.

00:39:18.000 It's not even that.

00:39:18.000 It's that you might have to carry a rock.

00:39:20.000 You might have to lift something.

00:39:22.000 What's that?

00:39:22.000 You gotta pick up a heavy box?

00:39:24.000 You don't want to do it?

00:39:25.000 People would rather just lay around and be like, but it's so easy to do nothing and let evil people destroy everything.

00:39:31.000 I don't think so.

00:39:32.000 saying all that is required for you to succeed is good met is that good men do

00:39:35.000 nothing it's martin luther king right I remember is that yeah

00:39:39.000 things older famous quote shout out to martin luther king

00:39:41.000 but here we are that's it what's the answer Luke I'm still I'm looking up chomsky and and seeing what he's

00:39:48.000 up to because he also couple days

00:39:50.000 decades ago was very strong in favor of free speech and standing up for everyone

00:39:54.000 He has this famous quote that I just looked up that I want to share with everyone and he said, quote, If you're really in favor of free speech, then you're in favor of freedom of speech for precisely the views you despise.

00:40:10.000 Otherwise, you're not in favor of free speech.

00:40:13.000 And I absolutely agree with him.

00:40:14.000 And he was a major important figure that was standing up for people's individual liberties and speech no matter what it was.

00:40:20.000 And now he wrote an article that is comparing the coup attempt Being closer to the center of power than Hitler's 1920 Chomsky.

00:40:28.000 Yes, Chomsky.

00:40:29.000 This is truth out I'm reading the article right now, and I'm still trying to get to the kind of basis I was reading when you guys were talking about but essentially, you know, he calls what happened a coup attempt and he's comparing it to Hitler's rise in power and Well, you know... I don't know what to tell you, man.

00:40:50.000 You know, I was talking to a friend of mine earlier who just... they don't care.

00:40:55.000 Time Magazine puts out an article where they're just laughing in the faces of everybody.

00:40:59.000 And these regular people are like, well, you know, I don't care.

00:41:02.000 And I'm like...

00:41:04.000 Have you asked yourself why it is that you're working two minimum wage jobs to try and pay your bills?

00:41:10.000 Have you asked yourself why it is that your business was shut down and you lost your job for months?

00:41:15.000 Have you asked yourself why it is that you're on your knees begging the government to please cut you some scraps?

00:41:21.000 And there are a lot of people who aren't doing that?

00:41:23.000 Do you wonder why it is there are a lot of people who are currently getting by and doing just fine and you're the one who is being subjugated?

00:41:30.000 Could it be that it's because the other people have stood up and walked away from this?

00:41:35.000 And found a way to be responsible for themselves and take care of themselves? 0.94

00:41:39.000 But you just keep saying, please let me lick the bottom of your shoe. 0.97

00:41:44.000 Okay, you know what? 0.97

00:41:45.000 I'll tell you this.

00:41:46.000 You're under no obligation to lick anybody's shoe.

00:41:48.000 But if you really want to, far be it from me to stop you.

00:41:52.000 So, I'll be out in the middle of nowhere, kind of just doing my thing, and talking about what I want to talk about, and playing games, and skateboarding, and all that stuff.

00:41:59.000 And if you really want to live under the boots of these people, and you refuse to do anything about it, then don't expect anyone to come save you.

00:42:06.000 When you get evicted from your apartment, you're living in the streets.

00:42:08.000 That's what's coming next.

00:42:09.000 The moratorium on evictions will end soon.

00:42:12.000 These people haven't paid their bills, and there's been no COVID relief.

00:42:14.000 Even if Joe Biden cuts these $1,400 checks, it's not going to pay the seven or eight months of back rent.

00:42:20.000 These people are all going to find themselves in the street, and the Democrats won't give you anything.

00:42:24.000 They said they were going to give you $2,000 checks?

00:42:26.000 No, no, I'm sorry, that was supplemental.

00:42:27.000 That was only $1,400, because you already got $600, right?

00:42:29.000 All right, well, that kind of makes sense.

00:42:31.000 Then they said, oh, and by the way, we said everyone.

00:42:34.000 We actually meant means tested.

00:42:35.000 So if you make more than $50,000 a year, you'll still get evicted because your cost of living probably is higher living in New York City, and you make too much.

00:42:42.000 Goodbye.

00:42:42.000 Sorry.

00:42:43.000 The street is the place for you.

00:42:44.000 Are they measuring that 50 grand based on last year's?

00:42:47.000 Are you sure?

00:42:48.000 thing so if you're unemployed right now and you make 50 grand last year?

00:42:50.000 If you make 50 grand you start diminishing your uh the stimulus.

00:42:53.000 So if you're on a salary to project it to make 50 grand this year or is it like?

00:42:57.000 It's probably the previous year.

00:42:58.000 Are you sure because I swear repeatedly and over and over again Biden and his

00:43:02.000 whole campaign team were tweeting about no you elect me two thousand dollar checks right away.

00:43:07.000 That's a good point.

00:43:08.000 Did I imagine that?

00:43:09.000 No, you did not.

00:43:10.000 You didn't?

00:43:11.000 And how do you say this means-tested thing about 50 grand when it's like, okay, what if you live in New York and what if you live in Omaha?

00:43:17.000 It cost $3,000 a month in San Francisco four years ago.

00:43:21.000 And so the people in New York who haven't been paying it, and the people in Chicago and LA who They can't pay it, are sitting here licking the boots of Democrats saying, you know, we're just gonna cross our fingers and hope this is the time they give us what we need.

00:43:35.000 No, they shut your businesses down, they took your jobs away, and then they gave you nothing, and now you're gonna get kicked out and you're gonna go live on the street.

00:43:41.000 I keep thinking about this Rockefeller... Okay, I don't know enough about it to really pin this all on John D. Rockefeller, but when they kind of re-evolved the school industry in the 1920s, when they were kind of attempting the coup of the Federal Reserve and all this in 1910, 1920...

00:43:56.000 They built a new school system where we raise our hands, wait for the bell.

00:44:00.000 We're basically learning to be factory workers.

00:44:02.000 Might have been earlier than the 20s.

00:44:03.000 I don't really know the details.

00:44:04.000 If any of you guys do, please, please fill in the gaps.

00:44:06.000 But it seems like they succeeded in turning us into subservient wage slaves.

00:44:12.000 And now people think going to work means misery.

00:44:15.000 Like they just have like, I have to go to work.

00:44:18.000 You're creating work.

00:44:19.000 If you pay attention to what work is in science, it's energy creation.

00:44:21.000 It's measured in joules.

00:44:22.000 It's worse than that.

00:44:23.000 You know, actually, I have a nephew, and I share talks with him, and I speak to him a little bit.

00:44:28.000 I try to undermine the conformity that gets imposed on folks like that in the public school system.

00:44:35.000 I said, hey, you know that the company that builds your school, if you look around at the architecture of it, it's the same company that builds the prison, and they look exactly the same.

00:44:45.000 They worked the same way.

00:44:46.000 There was a little kid in Chicago who was thrown into a padded room and they locked the door and walked away because he

00:44:50.000 was having a temper tantrum.

00:44:51.000 They put him in solitary confinement.

00:44:53.000 And then the kid just like cried and then soiled his pants.

00:44:56.000 That's what's going on. And you know what it is? These people in cities, they keep voting for the same thing.

00:45:01.000 So I look at this data showing the hyperpolarization.

00:45:04.000 The red areas get redder, the blue areas get bluer.

00:45:07.000 People who live in red areas who are blue, move to cities because they want to be around, you know, people who are blue.

00:45:12.000 And people who live in cities who are red, they move to the countryside, they get away from the blue areas.

00:45:16.000 Hyperpolarization is getting worse.

00:45:17.000 And from this, you'll end up with Democrat-controlled supermajorities in places like California, where they burn the system to the ground, and people keep voting for it, thinking, if we just keep sticking our hand in the fire, eventually it will stop burning.

00:45:29.000 That's where we're at right now.

00:45:30.000 The only thing I can see on the horizon is chaos.

00:45:34.000 I know people who have been out of work for months, they can't pay their bills, and they're like, I'm so angry with the Democrats.

00:45:40.000 I'm like, you voted for them.

00:45:42.000 Okay?

00:45:43.000 Look, I get it.

00:45:43.000 It's not like the Republicans are going to do anything for you.

00:45:46.000 But what do you think's going to happen?

00:45:47.000 They're not going to help you.

00:45:49.000 It's just going to get worse.

00:45:51.000 Eventually, it doesn't matter what side anyone's on, their heads are going to figuratively explode.

00:45:55.000 Yeah.

00:45:56.000 That was the punishment in my high school.

00:45:59.000 It was solitary confinement from 8 to 3.

00:46:01.000 They would just keep you in a room, isolated by yourself, can't talk to anyone.

00:46:04.000 I actually held the record for the most suspensions and consecutive days of solitary confinement in school.

00:46:10.000 But as you said, they look exactly the same, they are exactly the same like prisons.

00:46:14.000 The Rockefeller thing is something important because he was instrumental in creating the modern school day.

00:46:21.000 Which, again, resembles the modern day of a factory worker with exact breaks, with exact work shifts.

00:46:28.000 The bell ringing?

00:46:30.000 And exactly.

00:46:30.000 It's just meant to teach people to rinse and repeat.

00:46:32.000 Rinse and repeat.

00:46:33.000 Compliance.

00:46:34.000 And then homeschooling is something that's attacked, something that's looked down on, when in reality homeschooled kids are getting a far better education than those in public school.

00:46:42.000 Trust me, I went to public school.

00:46:44.000 There's a reason I still can't spell and mess up my words daily.

00:46:47.000 It's not just the Polish.

00:46:48.000 But when you compare American schools to Chinese schools, when you compare the intelligence levels of Chinese people compared to American people, we have something extremely worrisome that's going to be affecting us. 1.00

00:47:00.000 And I think there's a reason people keep saying idiocracy is becoming more and more of a documentary, because it is.

00:47:06.000 And it's becoming real life.

00:47:07.000 They did a poll of young people in the U.S.

00:47:09.000 and China, and they asked them what they wanted to be when they grew up.

00:47:12.000 And people in the U.S.

00:47:13.000 said influencers, YouTubers, Instagram, and kids in China said astronauts.

00:47:19.000 You know, I have a little anecdote.

00:47:21.000 I worked for eight years as a mentor and tutor to inner-city children in DC.

00:47:27.000 I would help them with their math and English, but also have one-on-one sessions with them.

00:47:33.000 These were kids who didn't have an adult male in their household growing up, right?

00:47:36.000 It's a great program.

00:47:38.000 But I remember sitting in front of the classroom one day and just sort of talking about the realism of careers and choices.

00:47:45.000 I said, OK, who here is going to be a, you know, what do you guys want to do?

00:47:49.000 And overwhelmingly, they were all either going to be professional basketball players or professional football players.

00:47:54.000 And when you have it in your mind, you're going to be a professional athlete.

00:47:58.000 Suddenly, the time you spend after school doing your homework, oh, that's a waste of time.

00:48:02.000 You want to be on the court or practicing, etc., etc., not, you know, looking at the realism or the reality of how unlikely it is, whereas getting a job as an accountant or some other professional is easily within reach if you just keep a few things in line.

00:48:17.000 The problem is we used to have apprenticeship.

00:48:19.000 We used to have, you know, you're a guy and you work in a factory and your kid, you know, let's say you're a blacksmith or whatever, your kid would watch and learn from you and then pick up the trade and then the business would stay in the family and expand.

00:48:34.000 Then we moved into the era of the massive corporation, where there are mid-level jobs that you can't really hand down to your kids.

00:48:40.000 You know, like the famous accountant brought his kid to work to learn to be an accountant.

00:48:43.000 Doesn't really happen.

00:48:44.000 Then life stopped becoming about your passions, and what you were good at, and it became about finding some menial task to build a machine.

00:48:51.000 As we hyper-specialized everything, it made less sense to have our children be an apprentice, and they went to school to work to essentially learn to be factory workers with shifts, and the bell would ring, and they'd get up, and they'd move to the next room.

00:49:02.000 And that's where we're at now, where these people, a lot of these people, and I can understand this, are snapping because they find no meaning in these menial tasks.

00:49:11.000 Many of these people are becoming communists, thinking that, well, someone else is doing work, I should get a piece of it.

00:49:16.000 I'll tell you what you need to do.

00:49:17.000 You need to roll up your sleeves, go out in the backyard, start chopping lumber.

00:49:21.000 Get fire going, cook your own food, grow your own food, and just be responsible for yourself for once in your life.

00:49:27.000 But not only that, not only do the jobs that are available, are they cruddy, do they suck, but there's very little of them available for the average person.

00:49:36.000 And if they do have them, they usually have to be countered with social government programs like welfare, which of course companies like Amazon exploit heavily, which of course McDonald's also does as well, which actually subsidizes.

00:49:49.000 Uh, their workforce by American taxes and and the local workforce that actually does make a little bit of money that is still still out there.

00:49:57.000 But when we look at robotics, when we look at immigration, when we look at work visas, all of this is eliminating any opportunity for economic growth and economic prosperity in this country and there's none left.

00:50:07.000 But maybe there's a plateau.

00:50:07.000 Right.

00:50:09.000 Like, is everyone going to be Elon Musk?

00:50:10.000 Of course not.

00:50:11.000 But when we're talking about, you know, jobs and opportunities, it used to be looked upon as something that you were proud of.

00:50:19.000 Now, a lot of people hate their jobs, hate what they're doing, and they don't want to be doing it, and they're not fulfilled.

00:50:25.000 Whether that is because of our emotional manipulated state or whether that is because of the larger socioeconomic conditions, I think it's both of those things.

00:50:33.000 And I think there might be even a third factor that we're not even considering here.

00:50:37.000 Uh, that we don't even know of yet, but essentially what we're seeing is a miserable class of working people that have been beat up, that have been assaulted, and have been thrown behind, left behind by the corporate establishment that doesn't give a damn about them. 0.98

00:50:49.000 Well, you know what's driving this, as you hit on it, is basically corporations leaning on Washington to allow Essentially, unlimited illegal labor across the border, which is cutting away a lot of those initial jobs that people might have.

00:51:02.000 You say Americans don't want any more.

00:51:03.000 Okay, fine.

00:51:03.000 You know what job Americans love doing that they're told to learn to do?

00:51:06.000 It's code.

00:51:07.000 And yet you have these mega-corporations bending the rules every which way to get every possible H-1B visa worker in here, etc., etc., which are doing two things.

00:51:17.000 It's driving down the wages.

00:51:19.000 You have people at Disney World who are running the IT systems, having to train their own

00:51:24.000 replacements and their own senator, Marco Rubio, doesn't do anything about it, doesn't

00:51:28.000 raise an issue.

00:51:29.000 And not only is it driving wages down, but it's also driving housing costs up, which

00:51:33.000 is one of the biggest expense people have.

00:51:36.000 And you can sort of see this explosion in work visas for professional jobs coming into

00:51:42.000 this country, and a steady decline of the median income of middle class Americans just

00:51:47.000 going down and down and down, while at the top you have people like Bezos, etc. exploding,

00:51:52.000 Why?

00:51:52.000 Because they're exploiting this beautiful market by bringing in people who essentially did not help create it to sort of more or less exploit them.

00:52:00.000 It's essentially slave labor.

00:52:02.000 The most insidious thing about the learn to code narrative which they still pursue when now they're talking about

00:52:08.000 union jobs going well maybe they can learn to code make solar panels they're telling you when they say

00:52:13.000 learn to code they're saying compete with people who live in poland romania ukraine places where

00:52:19.000 the the cost of living is substantially lower and the amount of money that you need to pay to

00:52:25.000 somebody who works in who's working out of ukraine is very very low relative to someone who has to

00:52:30.000 live in the united states The cost of living in the U.S., an apartment in New York City, like you said, Ian, like three grand.

00:52:35.000 That's the average cost of an apartment in New York City, I'm pretty sure.

00:52:37.000 Well, now it's probably collapsed, but for a while it was.

00:52:40.000 Let's say you're only renting a room in a three-bedroom.

00:52:43.000 A three-bedroom's gonna cost like $35,000 to $4,000, so you're gonna be spending like $1,200 a month.

00:52:48.000 You could pay half that to someone who codes in Ukraine.

00:52:53.000 And they would be getting an average wage, making 600 bucks a month.

00:52:57.000 So when these companies are outsourcing, and you mentioned H-1B visas, it's worse than that.

00:53:02.000 You can just hire all digital work for any company anywhere in the world.

00:53:07.000 It's that easy.

00:53:07.000 And there's a big-time value of it because you want people working while you're sleeping.

00:53:11.000 You need 24-7 access, especially for tech.

00:53:15.000 You need like an Indian branch so that they can go 6 p.m.

00:53:17.000 to 6 a.m.

00:53:18.000 You don't.

00:53:19.000 We used to hire a night shift.

00:53:20.000 Or you just need people to work the night shift.

00:53:22.000 Yeah, we call it the graveyard shift.

00:53:23.000 But what's making me think is that, what is the Americans like the 1% wealthiest people in the world?

00:53:28.000 We have been.

00:53:28.000 If you have making $30,000 a year, you're in the top 1%.

00:53:31.000 That's shifting now.

00:53:32.000 That 1% is coming from other countries.

00:53:34.000 So these people in America are swiftly becoming left behind and may find themselves in the bottom 98% if they're not already.

00:53:40.000 Regular Americans.

00:53:41.000 The rich are getting richer.

00:53:42.000 Yeah, like people whose parents were totally fine.

00:53:44.000 We're in the 1%.

00:53:45.000 They're not now.

00:53:46.000 Well, look, I mean, this is one of the things that is in second phase for Look Ahead America, but what we're going to start pushing is something called, something that's been forgotten in this country, I think, by so many is economic patriotism.

00:53:58.000 So you need to think about who you're hiring and what kind of world that's going to bring in the future.

00:54:03.000 Do you want to have a strong America for your children and generations to come?

00:54:07.000 That means buying American.

00:54:09.000 That means hiring American.

00:54:10.000 That means paying a little bit more so that we, as a country, can continue to remain strong.

00:54:16.000 I almost don't think there is an America anymore.

00:54:18.000 I mean, obviously... That's what I'm fighting.

00:54:20.000 That notion, it is incredibly pervasive and poisonous and difficult to fight against it. 0.97

00:54:26.000 But, you know, computers be damned.

00:54:28.000 The issue is, the media is completely fractured. 0.92

00:54:31.000 The Daily Beast says that it is an alt-right conspiracy, this lab leak hypothesis.

00:54:37.000 They criticized Bill Maher and Brett Weinstein and Heather Hine for even talking about it.

00:54:42.000 And a month earlier, you actually had the New York Mag putting out the big story about the Lavely Hypothesis.

00:54:50.000 So it's like, if the Daily Beast and the New York Mag are both prominent mainstream outlets, and they're both telling us totally different things, that you're a Nazi if you believe it, or it may actually be true, no one has any idea what to actually believe, and there's no unified culture.

00:55:05.000 I was looking at Gallup polls.

00:55:06.000 We go back to approval ratings to, say, Eisenhower to JFK, and the divide between Democrats and Republicans in approval was like 30, 32, 28.

00:55:17.000 Meaning, yeah, 65% of Republicans would approve and then 30% of Democrats, but it was fairly like, you know, everybody was kind of eh.

00:55:24.000 Now it's Joe Biden.

00:55:25.000 It's worse than it's ever been.

00:55:26.000 87 is the gap.

00:55:28.000 Donald Trump was 76.

00:55:30.000 The hyperpolarization is getting to the point where there is not one, but two different Americas right now.

00:55:36.000 Because of that, I don't think that there's an actually cohesive America.

00:55:40.000 It's split into two different entities.

00:55:42.000 And right now you have, you know, CNN and all these outlets.

00:55:47.000 Like I mentioned, the Daily Beast could tell you it's an alt-right conspiracy theory, and the Washington Post can literally put an article saying it's a strong hypothesis we must consider.

00:55:55.000 So which one do you pick?

00:55:57.000 Which side are you on?

00:55:58.000 Which America do you fall in?

00:56:00.000 Because you can't be in both at the same time.

00:56:02.000 Either you're an alt-right Nazi for believing it, or even Washington Post is pushing the idea, and so is Bill Maher.

00:56:07.000 But it's not even about a clear divide.

00:56:10.000 It's about mass confusion.

00:56:12.000 And I know, cue all the superchats about Yuri Bezmenov.

00:56:14.000 Hey, we're here.

00:56:15.000 How can there be a functioning America if no one can agree on any set of facts, and it's almost intentional on the part of the media?

00:56:22.000 You know, there was a great line in President Trump's first inaugural address that I kind of hang on to, is that, through love of country, we'll, again, learn to love each other.

00:56:34.000 And I think that the solution to this, and look, I'm not saying I'm going to win.

00:56:37.000 I'm not saying it's going to prevail.

00:56:38.000 I'm saying this, the fight only ends when we stop fighting it.

00:56:41.000 And that is basically patriotism.

00:56:43.000 We've got to unify again around love of country.

00:56:46.000 And that's why it's so, we have to speak out so loudly when we see people disrespecting the symbols of the country, like kneeling at a football game when they're doing the national anthem, etc, etc.

00:56:54.000 I mean, you're right.

00:56:55.000 And I know I've seen people on Twitter saying, oh, we've lost the country.

00:56:55.000 It's a battle.

00:56:58.000 It's over.

00:56:59.000 But it's only over when we stop fighting.

00:57:01.000 You know, I value the U.S.

00:57:02.000 Constitution heavily.

00:57:04.000 But I wonder if I see automation on the horizon in a way we've never anticipated.

00:57:08.000 And if it's not so much about the borders of the United States, but if it's about the Constitution and proliferating that concept globally.

00:57:17.000 I mean, the news organizations are already global.

00:57:19.000 They fractured us.

00:57:21.000 Our economy is global.

00:57:22.000 It's been, you know, poverty's fractured so more than it's ever been in this country.

00:57:26.000 And it seems like it's expanded.

00:57:27.000 The wealth gap is expanding.

00:57:29.000 So what?

00:57:31.000 Rather than, at least the way I'm trying to go into it is like some sort of economic parody.

00:57:36.000 Like, that's why I love Andrew Yang.

00:57:38.000 I don't know how you guys feel about his, you know, monthly fee or whatever they call it.

00:57:43.000 Universal Basic Income.

00:57:43.000 UBI.

00:57:44.000 That doesn't work.

00:57:45.000 Well, neither do I. This is what we're doing.

00:57:47.000 So maybe it doesn't work less than what we're doing now.

00:57:49.000 Texas is working great.

00:57:50.000 Florida's working great.

00:57:51.000 But what do you mean?

00:57:52.000 It's New York that's in the... I can't.

00:57:54.000 In the crapper.

00:57:55.000 In the crapper.

00:57:56.000 California's the crapper.

00:57:57.000 The government's making is fiscally solvent.

00:57:59.000 Is that what you mean?

00:57:59.000 Working great?

00:58:00.000 Yeah, jobs are exploding, people are happy, kids are going to school.

00:58:03.000 But there's a lot of poverty laced throughout?

00:58:06.000 There's way more homeless in California than anywhere else in the developed world.

00:58:09.000 Poverty is a relative thing.

00:58:10.000 Depends on your definition of developed world, I'll clarify that.

00:58:13.000 But poverty is sort of a relative thing.

00:58:14.000 Somebody who's relatively poor today would be essentially a king 50 years ago and so in terms of what they've got.

00:58:20.000 But it's not the poverty per se, it's the ability to get out of it.

00:58:24.000 And if you set your mind to it, what obstacles do you have to surmount?

00:58:27.000 And again, you look at a state like Florida or Texas or some of these other successful red states, but you look at New York or you look at California, yeah, it's a dumpster and you have to start thinking about why.

00:58:37.000 So if we're thinking about equality of opportunity, giving them the ability to get out of the poverty state, that's where UBI, I like, but it doesn't have to be money.

00:58:45.000 You just need access to opportunity.

00:58:47.000 You just need will and a government that's out of your way.

00:58:50.000 And basically a community for you to grow up in where people basically support each other and there's trust and it's easy to work through that society.

00:58:58.000 It's very difficult in a place where basically neighbors all hate each other.

00:59:02.000 There was a meme going around that said only crazy people believe government should solve the problems that government caused.

00:59:08.000 And when we look at the larger problems, I mean, when we look at what we're dealing with, it has the direct blueprints of our government selling out to the special interests in a way that, of course, is not capitalistic, that is not free enterprise, in a way that they're colluding, in a way that they're doing it secretly, in a way that they're conspiring, that's screwing everyone else over.

00:59:29.000 And if you think the government could take more money from its citizenry and redistribute it, Fairly, accurately.

00:59:36.000 You got another thing coming.

00:59:38.000 You know, we wouldn't need UBI if we didn't have these corrupt worker visa programs and unlimited illegal immigration. 0.99

00:59:45.000 There would be no need for it.

00:59:46.000 You would be able to get a decent job.

00:59:48.000 You would be able to start a family in your mid-twenties and be able to get a house.

00:59:52.000 All those things would be feasible.

00:59:54.000 This has been taken away from us by our government that is serving these international globalist corporations.

00:59:59.000 That's what the problem is. They're simultaneously Well as you mentioned with it's not just illegal

01:00:06.000 immigration. It's immigration in general That means you're adding to the labor market in very very

01:00:10.000 large numbers, but business isn't developing that fast And it's not sourcing if if one person's and outsourcing

01:00:17.000 like I mentioned the coding thing The digital world is gonna rapidly change this in a lot of

01:00:20.000 in a lot of crazy ways Automation is going to change this.

01:00:23.000 And that means you combine that with immigration, the labor market's going to explode and there's going to be no jobs for people.

01:00:31.000 I've often like fancifully thought that we're evolving out of a monetary society in general, that money is kind of like a transition period and we're almost Not post-scarcity, but post-money.

01:00:43.000 You know they say currency?

01:00:44.000 I make the metaphor that electricity is current currency, and that maybe the future of currency is your access to electricity, that you can build and make the things you need to succeed in life.

01:00:53.000 You don't really need money.

01:00:54.000 We don't have replicators, man.

01:00:55.000 That's just not true.

01:00:58.000 It feels like we're on the cusp of something like that.

01:01:00.000 We're trying to solve this problem with money, but the problem is the money.

01:01:04.000 The problem is, you've got people who propose UBI, Well, that would basically mean people in cities get free money and don't have to work, and the people who live in the countryside have to still farm and do a lot of back-breaking work.

01:01:14.000 So, like, free electricity, maybe.

01:01:16.000 If you could give people free electricity.

01:01:18.000 Well, how would you give them free electricity?

01:01:21.000 There's no such thing as free.

01:01:22.000 Yeah, somebody has to do the labor to produce it. 0.99

01:01:25.000 No matter what that labor is.

01:01:26.000 And that means the cost is always there.

01:01:29.000 Be it, I'll give you this bottle of water in exchange for your labor. 1.00

01:01:31.000 You pay the cost for it.

01:01:32.000 So, give someone the opportunity to create their own electricity.

01:01:35.000 How?

01:01:36.000 Riding a bike every day.

01:01:37.000 So who's gonna make the bike?

01:01:37.000 I don't know.

01:01:39.000 Who's gonna make the generator?

01:01:40.000 Specialists.

01:01:42.000 And then you gotta pay them.

01:01:43.000 So it's not free.

01:01:44.000 Maybe you don't.

01:01:44.000 Maybe you don't need money to pay people.

01:01:45.000 You just need electricity.

01:01:47.000 I don't know, man.

01:01:47.000 No.

01:01:47.000 I'm just trying to solve this in a different way.

01:01:51.000 Something we see very often on the left is the idea that money is a thing.

01:01:54.000 That money is the driver when money is just an idea that allows transactions.

01:01:58.000 It doesn't matter if you're giving someone a bottle of shampoo or a sandwich.

01:02:02.000 That's what you are paying.

01:02:04.000 I could pay you in seashells if you valued seashells.

01:02:06.000 I could pay you in old shoes if you valued shoes.

01:02:09.000 There will always be a cost for producing something because things need other things to exist.

01:02:14.000 If you want to make a bike, you need rubber.

01:02:15.000 You need metal.

01:02:16.000 You need someone to make the gears.

01:02:17.000 You need the labor of putting it all together.

01:02:19.000 And you can't just have people do it for free.

01:02:21.000 Unless you have a gun, I suppose, against slavery.

01:02:23.000 Well, there's nothing free, Ian.

01:02:24.000 The government has to take it from someone else and then give it to someone else.

01:02:28.000 There's nothing that the government does that is free.

01:02:30.000 Well, you know what money is, though.

01:02:32.000 It's just a temporary store of value.

01:02:33.000 So let's say I had a bicycle and it broke.

01:02:36.000 And you said, well, I'll fix your bicycle for you.

01:02:38.000 And I said, well, I'll tell you what.

01:02:39.000 I'll have a cow. 1.00

01:02:39.000 That sounds good. 1.00

01:02:40.000 I'll give you a gallon of milk.

01:02:41.000 But I'll give you a gallon of milk a week from now.

01:02:43.000 But just to keep track of things, I'm going to give you a little note that says, this note is good for one gallon of milk a week from now.

01:02:48.000 I'll hand it to you.

01:02:49.000 And then you give it to him to pay for some cabbages.

01:02:52.000 That's all money is.

01:02:53.000 It's just a reflection of a value that we had already... It's a placeholder.

01:02:57.000 Yeah, and they've kind of decommodified it, so it's like a general placeholder for any... I like... It works, and it's a fantastic evolutionary process that we've come across currency, that it was invented and that we use it, but... This is what I said during the... It doesn't always need to be the way, I think.

01:02:57.000 That's it.

01:03:10.000 That's what I said during the lockdown, that only after the last supermarket has closed, the last dairy farm has dumped all of their milk into the ground, and the last farm has, you know, shoved all the crops back underground, will these leftists realize you can't eat money.

01:03:25.000 It's a play on an old saying about only after the last river is polluted and the last forest destroyed.

01:03:29.000 It's a Native American saying, I believe.

01:03:31.000 And all these leftists got really mad at me for saying it, because, I mean, it's a very simple bit of logic.

01:03:37.000 The money isn't the food.

01:03:39.000 UBI doesn't give you anything.

01:03:41.000 What is that value in that check?

01:03:43.000 It's nothing.

01:03:44.000 It's basically saying, someone did work somewhere, and you should have access to it.

01:03:49.000 Sure.

01:03:50.000 But does that mean there are going to be people who are willing to work in exchange for nothing, or for less?

01:03:55.000 It creates a massive inequality.

01:03:57.000 You'll have people who live in big cities, and you already do, who don't work and get access to the resources produced by farmers who do work and live out in the middle of nowhere.

01:04:05.000 The general idea for many of these leftists is that you shouldn't be allowed to own what you make.

01:04:10.000 That's it.

01:04:11.000 The means of production are controlled by the people and what you produce belongs to everyone.

01:04:15.000 So you start seeing these really messed up scenarios with this system.

01:04:18.000 In North Korea, for instance, if there's a family, a community, I'm sorry, because it's not a family, there's a community that has access to cows. 0.77

01:04:25.000 Now, the cows belong to everyone, to the people.

01:04:27.000 So what happens is, One day the cow dies.

01:04:29.000 And all the people in that community look at it and say, we should eat this.

01:04:33.000 You can't.

01:04:34.000 Because it belongs to everyone.

01:04:36.000 So what happens is the guards will come and take the meat and it gets distributed across the entire nation.

01:04:42.000 Which is ridiculous, really hard to do, and results in some people getting spoiled meat.

01:04:47.000 So sometimes, when the cow is dying, they'll have no choice but to secretly steal and eat it, and you get sent to the Gulag for that.

01:04:55.000 The problem is, if you want to create a society where everyone's equal and everyone gets access no matter where you are and what you do, you create a wildly inefficient system that can't transport resources properly, and it ends up with people doing a ton of work and some people doing literally no work.

01:05:08.000 You have people in North Korea, this is amazing, I love this, their job is to be a skateboarder.

01:05:13.000 It sounds like magic to most skateboarders in the United States.

01:05:16.000 They have skate parks in North Korea where there are kids who skate and their job is you must be good at skateboarding so that we can produce good skateboarders and make good videos because other people in the world want to buy that access to videos, they want to buy the content, they want to buy the product, and we want to be competitive.

01:05:32.000 So they don't do any work other than just going skating.

01:05:34.000 And that sounds like paradise to a lot of people.

01:05:36.000 Until you realize that once you develop that system, they're not gonna make you the skateboarder.

01:05:40.000 They're gonna make you go mine sulfur, and there's gonna be ten skateboarders, and your teeth are gonna fall out of your mouth.

01:05:46.000 That's what you get when you get these systems.

01:05:48.000 It doesn't work.

01:05:49.000 And we've seen it over and over again. 0.98

01:05:51.000 But you get a large enough population of dumb people to scream and demand it, they get their fingers into the institutions, and then you are left with a bunch of spineless, fat, wealthy, or well-off Americans, and I don't mean the 0.98

01:06:04.000 general wealthy, I mean of the world. 0.98

01:06:05.000 And so long as they are fed, they will not stand up and they will not defend their values. 0.92

01:06:10.000 And that's what allows these lunatics to take over and destroy everything.

01:06:14.000 Do you support unemployment insurance, social security? 0.76

01:06:17.000 Yes.

01:06:18.000 So like government handouts, basically?

01:06:20.000 The government supplies you with something.

01:06:22.000 You pay for those things.

01:06:24.000 That's not a government handout.

01:06:25.000 I don't.

01:06:25.000 You don't support that.

01:06:26.000 Especially not social security.

01:06:28.000 It's a scam.

01:06:28.000 Well, but that's not the same thing as UBI.

01:06:30.000 Because social security is basically, it's worse than you paying for it.

01:06:33.000 It actually was stolen from you.

01:06:36.000 And you could have put that money into almost any other investment and come out like a millionaire with wealth you could give to your kids.

01:06:41.000 Instead, the government steals it and gives you a pittance of a percentage of interest.

01:06:45.000 Unemployment insurance is actually funded by people paying it.

01:06:51.000 We all have to pay it because we're Again, nothing's free.

01:06:53.000 You pay Social Security.

01:06:55.000 And if you were able to invest that money, even independently, you would get way more money than the little bit that the government gives back to you that you paid into.

01:07:02.000 And then anyway, in the United States, they're taking that money and literally investing it into the stock market and it's screwing people over on levels that are just absolutely crazy to the point where we're at right now, where there's even some people saying that there might not be enough money for other people's Social Security, even though if they paid for it.

01:07:20.000 They've been saying that since the 90s.

01:07:22.000 And we've had past presidents raid Social Security for use in other areas.

01:07:26.000 Let me clarify.

01:07:27.000 I support the ideas.

01:07:29.000 Yeah, me too.

01:07:29.000 We all pitch in, and then when someone falls on hard times, we pick them up.

01:07:32.000 So Jack Murphy was talking about this on one of his shows recently, about the U.S.

01:07:36.000 Constitution being written for an agrarian society in the 1700s.

01:07:39.000 And it reflects that, a lot of the things in the Constitution.

01:07:41.000 Like what?

01:07:42.000 You know, right to carry a weapon.

01:07:45.000 You can't do it in New York City, but you can do it when you're walking on the farm.

01:07:49.000 And you could bear arms in New York City.

01:07:51.000 You just can't walk around with an AR in New York City.

01:07:53.000 You used to be able to.

01:07:54.000 You used to be able to.

01:07:54.000 You used to be able to have a warship in the docks.

01:07:56.000 You used to be able to when we were mainly an agrarian society.

01:08:00.000 But that has nothing to do with agrarian.

01:08:01.000 Philadelphia and New York were not agrarian when the Constitution was signed.

01:08:05.000 People in 1776 had private warships.

01:08:07.000 that they built the Constitution around. More or less. I mean, it was like pastoral, you know.

01:08:10.000 It was absolutely not.

01:08:11.000 There was some industry, but it was certainly not.

01:08:13.000 And you can still walk with a firearm around Dallas or Houston or NAR.

01:08:17.000 We've had to alter it slightly as our society changes.

01:08:20.000 We have to.

01:08:21.000 Because it's a 220-year-old document. So you've got to alter it as we go.

01:08:24.000 So hold on, hold on.

01:08:25.000 Well, that's not new Second Amendment.

01:08:26.000 People in 1776 had private warships. They could literally lay siege to New York if they chose to

01:08:32.000 do it. You can't have warships.

01:08:34.000 You could also have slaves in 1780, because it made a lot of sense.

01:08:37.000 And we amended the Constitution.

01:08:38.000 Yeah, we changed it.

01:08:39.000 The point is, the right to bear arms had nothing to do with agrarian society.

01:08:41.000 Okay, well let's talk about the slavery clause then.

01:08:44.000 Slaves were fine in 1780, they're not fine anymore, we changed. 1.00

01:08:46.000 So maybe we should rewrite a Bill of Rights for the Internet age, where we give ourselves these unalienable opportunities.

01:08:56.000 Access to electricity, access to running water, access to a place to live.

01:08:59.000 Who provides those things?

01:09:00.000 We would provide it to ourselves through taxes.

01:09:02.000 Whatever you want to call it.

01:09:03.000 Taxes or something like that.

01:09:05.000 Someone has to do that labor, bro.

01:09:06.000 As opposed to UBI.

01:09:07.000 It would be something more like you have these things.

01:09:09.000 Who is going to build the system and maintain it to give you water?

01:09:13.000 You know, I actually went to a country where they intended to do that.

01:09:17.000 They tried to do it and ensure equity.

01:09:20.000 And I saw equity with my own eyes.

01:09:22.000 It was a tower of skulls, five stories high, the killing fields of Cambodia, the aftermath of the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot, trying to execute exactly this vision.

01:09:33.000 So I know it sounds good and sounds appealing.

01:09:36.000 Equity of what?

01:09:37.000 Equity of life?

01:09:38.000 Equity of outcomes?

01:09:40.000 No, but opportunity.

01:09:41.000 You're talking about outcomes.

01:09:42.000 I'm talking about opportunity.

01:09:43.000 No, you said you got to have gas, you got to have internet, you have to have water, health care, etc.

01:09:47.000 As a basic opportunity.

01:09:49.000 That's not an opportunity.

01:09:51.000 If you don't have clean water, you're done.

01:09:54.000 No, but that's not an opportunity.

01:09:56.000 It is an opportunity to survive.

01:09:58.000 Our local communities have passed laws to ensure that.

01:10:01.000 And if they hadn't, you wouldn't stand a chance.

01:10:01.000 Thank God.

01:10:04.000 But who drinks tap water anyway?

01:10:05.000 We're going to Costco buying it from them.

01:10:07.000 Well, a lot of people drink tap water and they filter it and et cetera, et cetera.

01:10:10.000 What if you didn't have electricity in this society and you couldn't get it?

01:10:13.000 You'd be done.

01:10:14.000 Here's the problem.

01:10:17.000 You think that we have electricity because of the government, and we don't.

01:10:20.000 We have a centralized electric grid that we... We have electricity because of the ingenuity and entrepreneurship of the American people.

01:10:28.000 Yeah, we don't need a government to do this stuff.

01:10:30.000 How do you guarantee someone water and electricity if they're homeless?

01:10:36.000 You know, you can provide the opportunity, you can't make them take it.

01:10:39.000 How do you give someone the opportunity to drink water and have electricity if they're homeless?

01:10:43.000 Create water stations?

01:10:44.000 Electrical charging units?

01:10:45.000 Who's going to build the water stations? 0.98

01:10:46.000 Who's going to build the electrical stations? 0.64

01:10:47.000 Me, Tim.

01:10:48.000 Me and a bunch of robots.

01:10:49.000 No, no, no.

01:10:49.000 You have no... There's no... It doesn't work.

01:10:49.000 Come on.

01:10:50.000 And we'll hire people to do it.

01:10:52.000 Who pays for it? 0.99

01:10:53.000 That's meaningless.

01:10:53.000 We can.

01:10:55.000 It's utopian nonsense.

01:10:56.000 I mean, that's why you get into politics.

01:10:58.000 You say tax money.

01:10:58.000 That's the answer.

01:10:59.000 If you want to do social programs, you get the people to pay taxes and come together and do it.

01:11:03.000 I want to take from you, Ian, so I can give to Matt.

01:11:07.000 That's basically what you're saying.

01:11:08.000 I would like to produce so we can all have, Tim.

01:11:10.000 You mentioned that slavery should be wrong and it should be illegal, yet we still have a system.

01:11:16.000 First of all, the 13th Amendment, as Kanye West pointed out, still allows for slavery with prisons, and we saw Kamala Harris take advantage of that in a very disgusting way, having people fight wildfires, risking their lives.

01:11:27.000 That doesn't say anything about it.

01:11:29.000 But taxation is a particular problem, not in and of itself.

01:11:32.000 It's the fact that you have a corrupt government that takes from people to spend on nonsense overseas.

01:11:39.000 Now, the concept of taxation... I'm not one of these laissez-faire capitalists who thinks that taxation is theft.

01:11:44.000 I think the manipulation of our current political system is, for the most part, theft.

01:11:49.000 Because they're taking from us, from our labor at a time when we are most desperate, and giving it to Pakistan for gender studies programs, they're giving it to Sri Lanka for speedboats, and regardless of whether you agree with it or not, they're giving it to other countries, they're putting it in Afghanistan, Iraq, they're putting it in Israel, they're putting it in Yemen, they're putting it in Sudan, for military purposes because we support or oppose certain regimes. 0.61

01:12:10.000 They're spending money in Syria.

01:12:12.000 Why?

01:12:13.000 We are losing.

01:12:14.000 We are bleeding jobs.

01:12:15.000 Our economy's in the gutter.

01:12:16.000 People are desperate for any amount of money to pay their bills.

01:12:19.000 Now that's theft.

01:12:20.000 When you've got someone who's on their knees begging, please, I just need to drink water.

01:12:25.000 I need a building I can live in.

01:12:27.000 And they say, well, we're going to take some of your money and give it to Syria and Yemen.

01:12:31.000 That's theft.

01:12:32.000 It's brutal.

01:12:33.000 I agree.

01:12:33.000 It is.

01:12:34.000 I don't like paying taxes and not knowing where they go, not having control over it.

01:12:37.000 But if we could focus energy and money or whatever into a program together, that's transparent.

01:12:43.000 That'd be cool.

01:12:44.000 Yeah, I think the problem is always corruption.

01:12:46.000 The left tries to claim that what's going on right now is the intended consequence of capitalism.

01:12:50.000 That's not true.

01:12:51.000 And when people point to what happens in these communist countries, these things are also deviations from what the ideology dictates.

01:13:00.000 Perhaps it's because it's impossible to have a communist system as the ideology dictates, And perhaps given a long enough period of time, maybe it's a short period of time, maybe it's longer, capitalism devolves into a corrupt crony system where people manipulate the system for personal gain and strip your resources away using power.

01:13:15.000 Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts, absolutely.

01:13:18.000 You would be way better off, instead of asking and demanding the government to do something, than you doing it with private enterprise voluntarily with other people around you that say hey there's this project let's fund it let's do it let's let's do something entrepreneurial that will actually help people and incentivize people to do the right thing you have a way better chance of getting success that way than beating at the doors of big government that's infiltrated by big tech by the corporate globalist monopolies and saying hey take more money from these people what are they going to do with that money

01:13:48.000 They're going to take it for themselves and they're ... going to give you a half-ass program that doesn't work that ... doesn't do anything you look at all the basic social ... services in the United States so so so many of them are ... corrupt so many of them provide.

01:14:01.000 Inadequate services to say the least.

01:14:04.000 And for them to get more money, more power, to be incentivized on their corruption, on their middleman gangster-like activity, is just pointless.

01:14:12.000 You're better off doing it on your own.

01:14:14.000 I agree with you to a point, because I think if we started a quasi-private public enterprise that was able to raise money to build electricity and water and housing for people, If it was a profit, then we would start to make money.

01:14:26.000 And then when do we prevent ourselves from becoming corrupted?

01:14:29.000 We need like a government oversight.

01:14:32.000 We need some sort of protection so that we or whoever we pass the company to doesn't... You know, it's just corruption happens.

01:14:39.000 And given a long enough period of time, you'll start to see corruption.

01:14:43.000 I think we need... I'm in favor of a mixed economy with certain regulations.

01:14:43.000 So, I agree.

01:14:47.000 But then what happens when the system just becomes more and more corrupt and nobody wants to actually deal with the tough questions and the hard problems?

01:14:54.000 One of the issues I think we have as a country is that we're extremely wealthy.

01:14:57.000 All of us.

01:14:58.000 Every single one.

01:14:59.000 And so, we're, you know, to put it simply, fat and happy.

01:15:02.000 We got our food, we got our McDonald's, we got our chicken wings, we got our Super Bowl.

01:15:06.000 Now, the ratings are down, mind you, but people were just sitting around saying, why bother?

01:15:11.000 It's so easy to just sit and look at... It's so easy to be a middle manager at a cracker factory and not have to think about any of this stuff and just go home and eat your ice cream and watch a football game.

01:15:21.000 It's easy.

01:15:22.000 Why ask the hard questions?

01:15:24.000 Why put yourself at risk?

01:15:25.000 You've got it made.

01:15:26.000 Now things are getting harder.

01:15:28.000 We saw it in 2008 with the destruction of people's lives.

01:15:30.000 This sparked a populist uprising.

01:15:32.000 It was fractured by identity politics.

01:15:34.000 We're still in that mess.

01:15:36.000 People started losing and life started becoming harder.

01:15:40.000 Now with COVID, as things become harder and harder, I think we're on the verge of people just basically having their heads explode.

01:15:45.000 Because now they're actually becoming desperate.

01:15:47.000 Now they're actually going to lose their homes.

01:15:49.000 Now they don't actually have jobs.

01:15:50.000 Now they're actually going hungry.

01:15:52.000 Now you're going to see angry people.

01:15:54.000 A lot of people are just sitting here with their fingers crossed.

01:15:54.000 I don't know when.

01:15:58.000 I love that song because there was a meme someone posted that Leonard Cohen, he warned us with that song.

01:16:03.000 Everybody knows.

01:16:04.000 Everybody knows the dice was loaded, but they all rose with their fingers crossed.

01:16:08.000 Yeah, right.

01:16:09.000 Come on.

01:16:10.000 We know it's coming up.

01:16:11.000 It's coming up for the establishment.

01:16:12.000 They're going to keep extracting our resources.

01:16:14.000 They're going to solve none of our problems.

01:16:16.000 And to me, it feels an awful lot like the political establishment in this country knows, probably since 2008, we are doomed.

01:16:23.000 So extract as much as you can, transfer it to foreign companies so that that value will survive after the implosion.

01:16:30.000 And now here we go.

01:16:30.000 I wish they didn't do that because there's like resilience is kind of a natural phenomenon of humanity of life in general.

01:16:35.000 You know, you see that meme of the plant growing through the cracks in the cement and breaking cement apart so that it can life can flourish.

01:16:43.000 So like to intentionally sabotage it and destroy it quicker makes doesn't make sense to me.

01:16:48.000 I think that it there is a natural tendency to thrive and survive.

01:16:52.000 So these people these people extracting as much as they can as the ship goes down.

01:16:57.000 I think they're just trying to make the ship go down when maybe it wouldn't go down.

01:17:00.000 I think if everybody was bailing water, the ship would survive.

01:17:04.000 But a lot of people are like, well, nobody else is bailing water, so I better just take as much as I can and get out of here.

01:17:09.000 The only antidote, and I know that Disaffected Liberal might chafe at this, but the only answer we really have here is nationalism, is patriotism.

01:17:19.000 Because that's the only thing that can pull us together, because money is not going to do it.

01:17:24.000 Just pursuit of cash and wealth.

01:17:28.000 There's no unity there.

01:17:31.000 America faces a very unique challenge.

01:17:35.000 When you look at other countries, fundamentally, what almost every other country in the world is, is an extended family.

01:17:42.000 Those people are all related to each other.

01:17:44.000 They all kind of Irish, Ireland.

01:17:46.000 They're a bunch of counties, but they're essentially all related.

01:17:48.000 So they all have like this a lot in common.

01:17:51.000 And you'd no sooner steal from your neighbor in one of these countries than you would from your own family because you're that close.

01:17:58.000 America, historically, has not really had that central, we're not a descendant of a single people.

01:18:05.000 And with this, you know, with our stratification, if everybody has a different origin story coming here, you have American descendants of slaves, and then you have the people like Kamala Harris who were like a slave somewhere else and then came here and folks from all over the world here That's what that's what our challenge is and the only solution to bring that together to bring because you don't have this Divisiveness in other in these other countries that are formed the more traditional way like Poland.

01:18:29.000 They're all related.

01:18:29.000 They're all family we have to overcome that here and the way you overcome that is is through patriotism through nationalism through love of country because they're If we're going to get out of it, out of this, that's the only way out of it.

01:18:43.000 There's no other way out of it.

01:18:45.000 Otherwise, everything else is just continued division, fractionalism between red and blue states, along divisions and race and everything else.

01:18:53.000 The only thing we have to pull us together is this sense of nationalism and national unity.

01:18:57.000 So that's basically what Look Ahead America is all about, fighting for and reminding people.

01:19:02.000 And we have precedents for this.

01:19:03.000 We have precedents for this in places like Singapore.

01:19:06.000 or India, which is actually even more diverse than the United States is.

01:19:09.000 People don't realize that.

01:19:10.000 In terms of languages, in terms of religions, etc., etc., it's far more fractured than the

01:19:15.000 United States is and has much more deeper conflicts built within it.

01:19:20.000 So they have a challenge, too.

01:19:22.000 So we're not alone, I guess, in terms of facing this challenge, but our challenge is unique.

01:19:26.000 And the path out of it, I really just see one way.

01:19:29.000 I don't see anything else.

01:19:30.000 How do you define love of country?

01:19:33.000 I define it in the same way that you love your mother.

01:19:38.000 That you would never want to see any harm come to your mother.

01:19:42.000 Like there's few relationships that people have that's any different from the way they love their mother.

01:19:47.000 And it's a very powerful love.

01:19:49.000 And we need to find that for our country.

01:19:51.000 And when it's a country that's unified like, I'll pick one out at random, Latvia.

01:19:56.000 Pretty much everyone there is related.

01:19:57.000 So to love a country as you love your mother, those things go hand in hand.

01:20:01.000 But we need to be able to find a way to do that here.

01:20:04.000 Because that's what keeps us together.

01:20:07.000 We're all part of this nation.

01:20:09.000 But if we don't have that common ancestry through blood, we have to find it somewhere else.

01:20:14.000 And it has to be basically through our values, through our culture, through our history.

01:20:18.000 And that's why, again, it's so dangerous where you see these people pulling the names of founders off of schools because they did something that we don't consider favorable or they made the most of things that they could in the time, but I guess by our standards, we consider them criminal or something like that.

01:20:33.000 So that's the only way out, even if we have to invent it.

01:20:37.000 If it doesn't exist, we have to invent it in ourselves.

01:20:40.000 You know, I'm probably just being a bit pessimistic, but that James Lindsay tweet, I think he made a really important point when he's talking very much about critical race theory.

01:20:49.000 I mean, I don't see a way we get a unifying front to shut that kind of thing down, which results in the red states will get redder, the blue states will get bluer.

01:20:59.000 And then eventually, maybe it will force some kind of peaceful collapse or divorce when you have, say, the removal of Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committees. 0.94

01:21:08.000 What's the point of voting for someone if the Democrats who are in the majority just say, you have no voice here?

01:21:14.000 Then people who are in that district are like, we have no representation.

01:21:17.000 What happens when they then say, we're going to expel anyone who supported the constitutional efforts by the Republicans to object to the electoral vote?

01:21:24.000 It's in the Constitution.

01:21:26.000 They say, we don't care.

01:21:27.000 We're going to vote to expel these people.

01:21:28.000 Eventually, you'll have states with no representation.

01:21:30.000 They'll say, we're not part of the union anyway.

01:21:33.000 Well, look, we can still fight this through voter registration.

01:21:37.000 And again, this is hard stuff.

01:21:39.000 You can't go home and watch your Super Bowl and eat your Dunkin' Donuts and just let life slip by.

01:21:44.000 By engaging and lobbying the state legislatures where you have power.

01:21:47.000 By registering new people to vote who share our worldview and getting them to turn out.

01:21:52.000 There's other ways out of this.

01:21:54.000 That's the worst thing about this voter fraud thing is the way it demoralizes people from believing in the system or from engaging with the system.

01:21:59.000 and I hope others choose this option is to just to fight for our country through

01:22:03.000 the democratic process we have. And you know that's that's the most the worst

01:22:08.000 thing about this voter fraud thing and I is is the way it demoralizes people from

01:22:13.000 believing in the system or from engaging with the system. I got an email from

01:22:17.000 somebody today and she said well I'm just I'm never gonna vote again and okay

01:22:23.000 now what?

01:22:25.000 It's either arms in his direction or just slit your wrists and get it over with. 0.99

01:22:28.000 The Republicans are bleeding voters. 0.99

01:22:32.000 I saw that again.

01:22:33.000 Speaking from a non-profit point of view, as long as you show up and vote in the general for patriotic causes, the party is secondary.

01:22:42.000 I will tell you, though, I did see those numbers.

01:22:45.000 Those are very tiny numbers.

01:22:46.000 I think it's just the media inventing a story.

01:22:49.000 I was just going to say, because we were talking earlier, President Trump, we've seen presidents screw up and lose re-election.

01:23:00.000 George H.W.

01:23:02.000 Bush, Jimmy Carter, you can go back further in history, they actually have their vote totals go down.

01:23:08.000 I mean, President Trump went up substantially, and we can talk about why he still lost, but that's substantial, and the momentum's there.

01:23:16.000 I think right now the Republican Party's sort of suffering from a lack of unity and vision.

01:23:21.000 I've been here before.

01:23:25.000 I was in here in 2009.

01:23:26.000 We lost everything then, too.

01:23:28.000 I was here in 1993.

01:23:30.000 We lost everything then, too.

01:23:32.000 And the Democrats have been in this position, too.

01:23:33.000 It's not uncommon.

01:23:34.000 It's very different.

01:23:35.000 Well, I mean when you when you look at the the the gap between approval ratings, it's never been higher

01:23:40.000 I would Republicans overwhelmingly despise Joe Biden and and the media is inflaming this and so I'm not saying that

01:23:48.000 there's going to be Armed insurrection or people sitting their wrists. I quite

01:23:51.000 the opposite I think it eventually gets to a point where it's a bunch of

01:23:53.000 people in one state or the state legislature says Well seeing as our senator was expelled and we're no longer

01:23:58.000 represented by the Union We no longer consider ourselves to be a member of I

01:24:02.000 I put that in the armed insurrection category because that's essentially what it is.

01:24:06.000 It's declaring a civil war.

01:24:07.000 Our politics is meant to divide us.

01:24:09.000 Intentionally.

01:24:10.000 If you have Democrats in Congress who are like, we vote to expel these members, then what's the resolution when they're just like, okay.

01:24:19.000 Well, then the state has to succeed.

01:24:21.000 Well, California already defies the laws, like, of the federal government to an extreme degree.

01:24:26.000 I mean, they've always basically, well, not always, but they've for a very long time defied federal drug laws.

01:24:31.000 They completely defy immigration laws. 0.76

01:24:33.000 So they defy the laws of the federal government while then demanding benefits of the federal government and the right to vote out anybody from other parts of the country. 0.71

01:24:41.000 The system doesn't make a lot of sense right now.

01:24:43.000 You have these sanctuary states and cities that are acting in complete defiance of federal law.

01:24:48.000 Yet now we're moving towards this position where they're going to vote to remove representation from other people from states that do abide by federal law.

01:24:56.000 Yeah.

01:24:56.000 And again, the solution that I'm advocating is through organization and taking advantage of the democratic process that has rescued us from these types of problems, not exactly this problem historically, because that is the only way out of it.

01:25:08.000 And I think it's within reach, to be honest with you, because if you look at the past election, look at the House elections.

01:25:18.000 In 2020.

01:25:18.000 The Republicans became very close to flipping the house.

01:25:22.000 Very close.

01:25:23.000 And the Senate was kind of a mess.

01:25:24.000 We had horrible candidates.

01:25:26.000 In 2020?

01:25:26.000 Yeah.

01:25:27.000 Yeah.

01:25:27.000 The Senate was a horrible scenario.

01:25:28.000 Trump was on the ticket.

01:25:29.000 True.

01:25:30.000 True.

01:25:31.000 So.

01:25:31.000 In 2018, when Trump wasn't on the ticket, they lost it.

01:25:33.000 And then when Trump wasn't on the ticket with Georgia, they lost Georgia.

01:25:36.000 So now.

01:25:37.000 Historically though, he wasn't on the ticket in 2010.

01:25:41.000 He wasn't on the ticket in 2014.

01:25:43.000 Those were high murder marks years for Republicans, and I think it's dependent on candidate after candidate following the model of an America First platform, and I think that will allow us through the system to address those sanctuary cities, etc., etc.

01:25:59.000 I can respect and appreciate the optimism in what you're doing, but The phrase America First has been completely demonized by the media as alt-right white nationalism.

01:26:09.000 So, I mean, do you think in two years there's going to be a politician who's allowed to say that?

01:26:13.000 No, they'll get banned from social media instantly.

01:26:15.000 It's up to us.

01:26:15.000 It's up to me and this effort.

01:26:18.000 You may be right.

01:26:20.000 And I'm not trying to seem optimistic.

01:26:22.000 I'm not necessarily optimistic.

01:26:24.000 I'm just like, look, this is the hill I'm going to die on.

01:26:26.000 I've decided.

01:26:27.000 And I'm content with it.

01:26:28.000 And I don't think I'm alone.

01:26:29.000 And I don't necessarily think I'm going to die on it either.

01:26:32.000 And neither the rest of us who stand with it.

01:26:34.000 I was thinking as you guys were talking that politics, I don't think is a unifying force.

01:26:38.000 I think the whole idea of politics is to divide us so that we don't create a uniparty totalitarianism.

01:26:43.000 So we've created this system that we constantly fight or argue.

01:26:48.000 And so looking for a unity there isn't the way, but science.

01:26:50.000 We had this physicist on.

01:26:51.000 The Democrats and the Republicans are a uniparty.

01:26:53.000 Yeah, well, you know.

01:26:55.000 The uniparty controls the system.

01:26:56.000 Two faces of the same coin, maybe, or multifacial.

01:27:00.000 The Democrats call for things, and the Republicans say, slow down there.

01:27:03.000 Yeah, I don't think we're going to find unity in that process, but we had this scientist on a couple nights ago, and it was like such a unifying feeling, and the people were hitting it for days afterwards, like, This is so great talking about unifying field theory and like something that everyone can get behind something that will save our lives and our species and the politics will always be there.

01:27:21.000 But that's good so that we don't have some science totalitarian.

01:27:24.000 Well, it's built into politics because politics is a zero-sum game.

01:27:29.000 You can only win.

01:27:31.000 When the other side loses.

01:27:32.000 Whereas in business, you know, we even may be competitors, but we don't necessarily have to, my gain doesn't have to come at your loss.

01:27:39.000 But I mean, there are 100 seats in the Senate.

01:27:42.000 When you gain one, somebody else loses one.

01:27:44.000 So, it's unfortunately, and that's just democracy.

01:27:48.000 Do you think we should change that?

01:27:52.000 I am working within the system, and that's my highway.

01:27:56.000 Yeah, that'd be cool if it was not a zero-sum game.

01:27:59.000 It's not possible, because there's always and only two parties.

01:28:03.000 You can throw different labels on it, but there will always and only be two parties.

01:28:06.000 Even in a country like the UK, where you have multi-parties and parliamentary systems, there's always two parties.

01:28:11.000 The party that's in power, and the party that's out of power.

01:28:14.000 The second strongest party.

01:28:16.000 Do you ever look at, what's that type of voting where you rank choice voting?

01:28:21.000 Same situation.

01:28:22.000 There's two parties, the one in power and out of power. 0.59

01:28:24.000 What about Libertarian and Green?

01:28:27.000 Still two parties, the one in power and out of power.

01:28:30.000 Libertarian and Green, it basically just fractionalizes votes.

01:28:33.000 I mean, look, I think that having a primary system where you have Libertarian candidates within the Republican Party, Making their case and we have some they're fantastic ran

01:28:42.000 Paul right fantastic Or you have green oriented candidates running in the

01:28:48.000 Democrat Party I can't think of any off the top my I know so all the Green 0.97

01:28:52.000 New Deal people right well They're not I think the Green Party and them kind of don't

01:28:55.000 mesh completely Sure, but like the Green Party agenda more like Democratic

01:28:59.000 Socialist Party just Just because of the way mathematics works.

01:29:02.000 It's just a math matter.

01:29:04.000 If you are a Green candidate, you're probably better off picking one of the two parties that exists and running within it as a caucus and trying to win primaries.

01:29:12.000 Like Bernie Sanders?

01:29:13.000 Sure.

01:29:14.000 The problem with that, why I will never participate in that again, is because you look at what happened to the Democrats when the moderate Democrats won in 2018.

01:29:21.000 Nancy Pelosi said, you do as you're told, and they said, yes ma'am.

01:29:24.000 So these moderates who said, we're not going to play culture war politics, we're not going to get in this fight, we're going to work on kitchen table issues like healthcare and jobs, and then as soon as they walked in the door, Nancy Pelosi says, you do as you're told, and they said, yes, absolutely.

01:29:37.000 No questions asked.

01:29:38.000 Except for Jeff Van Drew, he was like, I'm out.

01:29:41.000 Well, remember though, I mean, if they got re-elected in 2020, that's what the voters chose.

01:29:47.000 And that's the damnedest thing about democracy.

01:29:49.000 A lot of them didn't. 0.86

01:29:50.000 Well, no, but that's who they chose.

01:29:51.000 They re-elected them.

01:29:53.000 They won their primaries a second time.

01:29:55.000 And that's the problem with democracy, is that ultimately people get the government they deserve.

01:30:02.000 Well, a lot of these people who did that lost.

01:30:06.000 A lot of the moderates ended up losing.

01:30:07.000 That sounds appropriate.

01:30:09.000 If you said you were going to go to Washington to do something and you don't do it, the appropriate thing to happen is for your voters to hold you accountable.

01:30:15.000 And then you get the next guy who comes in and says, I'm not going to be like him, and they do the same thing on the other side.

01:30:19.000 Yeah, but eventually you get some folks like Paul Gassar or Matt Gaetz or Rand Paul, and we just need more of them.

01:30:26.000 It's just a matter of courage on the individual level.

01:30:29.000 I think it's definitely fair to say that times are bad and I think what Tim is kind of alluding to is that we're kind of on a ship that's sinking and people are just ransacking it, correct me if I'm wrong, and when that happens it's going to get ugly.

01:30:42.000 I think it's fair to say that things will only get worse from here, but essentially I think things will resolve itself.

01:30:48.000 It might be the way that you're saying, I think that also might be a long shot.

01:30:52.000 But I think it's also going to be a lot of people realizing that if they're relying on

01:30:56.000 other people and politicians to solve their problems, that they're always going to have

01:31:00.000 problems.

01:31:01.000 And I think we're moving into this new day and age where even though we have the censored

01:31:06.000 Internet, we have to remember, even when the printing press came out, there was major movements

01:31:10.000 by governments and religions in order to stop the printing press, and essentially they weren't

01:31:16.000 And I think we're in a similar phase with cryptocurrencies, we're in a similar phase with the internet, and eventually, more people will find out, more people will educate themselves and understand that truly, the problems that they need solved, they need to solve them themselves.

01:31:29.000 And I think when that happens, there's going to be a big awakening and things are going to get a lot better.

01:31:33.000 And just like, you know, our lives are a big roller coaster.

01:31:35.000 It goes up and down.

01:31:37.000 Right now we're at the down phase, but I think eventually we're going to go up there and hopefully it's going to be peaceful.

01:31:42.000 Hopefully it's going to be done the way that you're describing, but I think it's going to be done in a nonpolitical way.

01:31:48.000 That's going to have more severe ramifications for our lives and our children lives that we don't even know of yet.

01:31:54.000 Well said, Luke.

01:31:55.000 And that being said, how about we take some Super Chats and see what the audience has to say.

01:32:16.000 Let's read what we got here.

01:32:17.000 We have C. Hennessy who says, I'd say they should win a handful of congressional seats.

01:32:20.000 I think that as a party you can't quite do that.

01:32:41.000 Individual candidates with a lot of charisma and money can decide I'm going to be an independent.

01:32:45.000 But then when they get to Washington, they still have to vote one way or the other.

01:32:49.000 So they're going to naturally fall into one of the two parties.

01:32:52.000 Bernie Sanders is an independent.

01:32:54.000 He fell on the Democratic side.

01:32:55.000 I would say that if people have an agenda, they should just pick which party you think they're going to be most successful in.

01:33:00.000 Here's the thing.

01:33:01.000 If you can't win a party primary, it's much more difficult to win a general as an independent than it is to win a party's primary.

01:33:10.000 Yeah, it's tough.

01:33:12.000 All right, let's see.

01:33:13.000 Phineas says, Commander W. Adama, there's a reason you separate military and the police.

01:33:19.000 One fights the enemy of the state, the other serves and protects the people.

01:33:22.000 When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.

01:33:26.000 From Battlestar Galactica.

01:33:27.000 Good show.

01:33:28.000 Excellent show.

01:33:29.000 I'm fearful of this remake because the last one, Ron Moore, was so good.

01:33:33.000 Again?

01:33:34.000 Third remake?

01:33:35.000 Yeah.

01:33:36.000 You can't do it, man.

01:33:37.000 The last one was amazing.

01:33:39.000 Flimsy Fox says, I've never understood why blocking people on Twitter works the way it does.

01:33:44.000 If you don't want to see someone's posts, that's fine, but I've never understood why I am the one who gets to choose who doesn't see my posts.

01:33:52.000 I don't know.

01:33:53.000 It's a combination of factors I can't respond to either.

01:33:55.000 Brandon Schroeder says, you guys should have someone from the Meat Eater crew on to talk about hunting.

01:34:01.000 That would make a great podcast.

01:34:01.000 That sounds cool.

01:34:02.000 I would love to have Steve Rinella on.

01:34:03.000 He's so cool.

01:34:05.000 Yeah.

01:34:07.000 Let's see.

01:34:08.000 Terry Butler says, are you all wearing your masks and double layering?

01:34:11.000 I don't want to get infected while I watch.

01:34:14.000 Well, Ian's got the, uh, the space, the space dome.

01:34:17.000 Oh, you're making me bring it out.

01:34:18.000 Yep.

01:34:19.000 Where is it?

01:34:19.000 So I saw an ad for these things.

01:34:20.000 I think I saw an article for it and I had to have it. 0.98

01:34:23.000 They're ridiculous.

01:34:24.000 They're expensive, but I think it, uh, is it upside down? 0.97

01:34:29.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:34:30.000 So these things are one of the most absurd things I've ever seen.

01:34:34.000 It's stylish.

01:34:35.000 I honest but I but I think you're not allowed to wear them because the rule is specifically a cloth mask

01:34:40.000 And what happens if you sneeze Oh no.

01:34:47.000 Yeah.

01:34:47.000 What happens when you sneeze?

01:34:49.000 That should be the title.

01:34:50.000 Yeah, no worries.

01:34:51.000 Alright, let's see what we got.

01:34:53.000 Petty says, internal migration is actually making Texas slightly more red.

01:34:57.000 Governor Abbott had a study done on it.

01:34:59.000 It's a foreign migration that's the issue.

01:35:01.000 Most Hispanics who are citizens want the drawbridge lifted. 1.00

01:35:04.000 Interesting.

01:35:06.000 Declan Lyon says the CCP are trolling us now.

01:35:08.000 They aren't really swabbing arses. 1.00

01:35:10.000 They're just seeing how long it takes for us to start doing it.

01:35:12.000 Hello from Dublin.

01:35:14.000 Like I said, it feels like people are just poking us to see how far they can push it before people finally snap.

01:35:19.000 Literally poking us.

01:35:20.000 That's what I tell people, man.

01:35:21.000 Look.

01:35:21.000 I left the big cities, I went to the middle of nowhere.

01:35:24.000 We can walk outside without masks on, we can do whatever we want.

01:35:26.000 In fact, there's a ton of- all the businesses, there are some, it was really weird, where they make you wear masks.

01:35:31.000 But I'll tell you, out here, this is gonna trigger the left.

01:35:33.000 You ready for this?

01:35:34.000 You walk into a building and they'll go, take off your mask.

01:35:38.000 Or they'll look at you and be like, you don't gotta wear that.

01:35:40.000 And I'm like, you have a sign on the door and they're like, eh.

01:35:42.000 And I'm like, I don't care to wear it, whatever.

01:35:44.000 But there are some stores where they're like, nah, don't wear those in here.

01:35:47.000 Some shops that sell weapons are like, we don't allow that because we sell guns.

01:35:54.000 We don't want people coming in, we can't identify.

01:35:56.000 And I'm like, that I understand, but it's very different.

01:35:59.000 Like in Florida, there's this viral video of people just doing their thing.

01:36:02.000 No masks, like no one cares.

01:36:04.000 And the leftist media was like, oh no!

01:36:08.000 Well, you don't live there.

01:36:09.000 What are you worried about?

01:36:12.000 Connor O'Shaughnessy says, what do you think about the impending retirement crisis and how in 2023 the boomers will have reached peak retirement rates?

01:36:20.000 I don't know.

01:36:21.000 What's the retirement crisis?

01:36:23.000 Like everyone's going to retire from their jobs and then you're gonna have a bunch of woke millennials who don't know how to do the job?

01:36:27.000 Is that what's happening?

01:36:27.000 Or like people hoping for social security to get them through.

01:36:30.000 Oh, right, yeah, yeah.

01:36:31.000 But inflation.

01:36:32.000 And there's not enough people to pay into it to pay off the social security for the people that actually did spend their money on it.

01:36:38.000 The real civil war will be armies of boomers going up against millennials on the streets. 0.97

01:36:42.000 That'll be good.

01:36:43.000 I'm betting on the boomers. 1.00

01:36:45.000 Yeah?

01:36:46.000 Yeah, for a lot of reasons, huh?

01:36:47.000 Chantelle Leavitt says, Matt, I hail from California.

01:36:50.000 Attended the first LAA grassroots course.

01:36:52.000 Excited for the second course on voter integrity.

01:36:54.000 Are you interested in teaching about redistricting?

01:36:58.000 Can I use this as a segue to pitch?

01:37:00.000 I'll do it to him.

01:37:01.000 Look, I want everybody who's watching to please sign up for our next grassroots training course on how to lobby and organize in your community to target your county government and your state government to get them to fix our election system.

01:37:16.000 That's going to happen on February 18th from 8 p.m.

01:37:20.000 to 1030 p.m.

01:37:22.000 Eastern.

01:37:22.000 You can register at lookaheadamerica.org training.

01:37:26.000 Also, we look at America's Now opened up a Discord server for gamers who are of the America First persuasion to come together and play games and share some time together.

01:37:41.000 That's at discord.gg slash look ahead America to answer the redistricting question Redistricting is a little bit outside the field of look ahead America's mission, but I'd like to It's a very it's a very challenging topic and maybe sometimes I'll come back and talk about it because redistricting sort of the Secret war that happens behind politics that you never read about but it's the most bloody and brutal of all you know I love your work Matt big part of why I Along the boat metaphor of that we're on a sinking ship, it seems like what you're doing is you're corralling the people to come together and start bailing the ship and taking control of the vessel.

01:38:19.000 Whereas people like me are thinking about the structural integrity of the boat.

01:38:24.000 Where's the hole?

01:38:25.000 I'm going to go start working on the hole.

01:38:26.000 And we need both of these things to happen at the same time.

01:38:30.000 Absolutely.

01:38:31.000 I think there's people who profit from the boat sinking, you know?

01:38:35.000 It's kind of like, similar to what happened with the GameStop thing, the people shorting the stock, wanting the company to fail, and then the people wanting the company to succeed to screw over the people shorting it.

01:38:46.000 If there are people who are like, as soon as this boat sinks, the treasure is mine, and they see you trying to fix it, they're gonna be like, what are you doing?

01:38:53.000 I'm getting ready to ransack this thing!

01:38:54.000 If the boat gets upright, they're gonna come after me for stealing all this stuff!

01:38:58.000 Yeah.

01:38:59.000 Good one.

01:39:00.000 Yeah.

01:39:00.000 We have a script.

01:39:01.000 Well, there we go.

01:39:02.000 StaresIntoSpaceGaming says, on graphene, I'm an investor, company named Telga that's going to sell graphene anodes for the battery market and will fund broad applications elsewhere.

01:39:12.000 That's really cool.

01:39:13.000 We have some of these, you guys have probably seen those batteries, you buy the external batteries, you can beat them at the store and you charge them up, plug them in.

01:39:19.000 We have some graphene ones.

01:39:20.000 They're graphene composite batteries.

01:39:22.000 They charge in 10 to 15 minutes, full charge.

01:39:25.000 And they can recharge your phone two and a half times.

01:39:28.000 So imagine if, like, your phone's about to die and you're like, oh no, what do I do?

01:39:31.000 I gotta leave in 10 minutes for work.

01:39:32.000 You plug in one of these graphene batteries, it fully charges in, like, 10 minutes.

01:39:36.000 You walk out the door, you plug in your iPhone, and then over the course of 30 to 40 minutes, your iPhone or cell phone will charge.

01:39:42.000 These things are awesome.

01:39:44.000 Daniel Welch says, Matt, what are your thoughts on work like Dr. Shiva, Edward Solomon's, showing concerning mathematical indications of algorithmic vote suppression?

01:39:54.000 If true, voter registration runs may be futile.

01:39:57.000 This one may be a little bit spicy for you, too.

01:39:59.000 Well, I'll answer it.

01:40:01.000 I've avoided commenting on other people's work, but I will tell you that what I have found I don't think is valid, and I think part of it is an ignorance of how the election system works and how votes are tabulated election night.

01:40:12.000 All my efforts have been focused on people who cast ballots or had ballots cast in their name that were illegal, and those are things I can document.

01:40:20.000 Right now, I actually have a team of 30 volunteers going through Georgia work.

01:40:24.000 We're not done.

01:40:25.000 Not this week, but the end of next week or the Monday after, we'll be releasing our Georgia report, which will show fairly conclusively our interesting findings.

01:40:38.000 There are a lot of people in this field, and honestly, I've worked in this since the mid-90s on every angle.

01:40:44.000 I've worked for counties and towns and states on redistricting and election administration and how voter registration works.

01:40:51.000 I don't buy a lot of the other stuff I see.

01:40:53.000 I'm not going to name-check anybody, but what I buy is the stuff that we've been producing through VIP, which is basically Ballots being cast that were not legal, and absentee ballots being requested that were not truly requested, etc., etc.

01:41:05.000 And to segue a little bit more, we did release our voter integrity reforms, which are going to encourage people to lobby for their state legislature, that we believe these six reforms will solve the problems that we had.

01:41:17.000 And they're very achievable, and none of them are crazy, like blockchain or facial recognition.

01:41:22.000 These are all very simple and achievable, and we look forward to pursuing them in all 50 states.

01:41:27.000 Right on.

01:41:28.000 And again, we're going to have a bonus segment coming up at TimCast.com after the show.

01:41:34.000 It'll probably be around 11 or so, because we've got to record it and then upload it.

01:41:37.000 But become a member if you want to get access.

01:41:39.000 We have Sheldon S. says, Tim, you're on fire and on point.

01:41:41.000 And Ian actually had a good point about schools.

01:41:44.000 Love, Luke.

01:41:44.000 Thanks, fellas.

01:41:45.000 Hey, there we go.

01:41:45.000 There's some positivity for the night, some optimism.

01:41:47.000 Thank you.

01:41:49.000 Clay Moore says, grab your brooms and call shenanigans. 0.96

01:41:51.000 Oh wait, they have a fence now.

01:41:53.000 Oh, there you go.

01:41:53.000 All right, what else we got here?

01:41:57.000 Lucy Lurker says, let's talk about Tom McDonald fake woke removed from iTunes, Amazon Music, and Panorama after topping the charts.

01:42:05.000 That's brutal.

01:42:05.000 Was he really removed?

01:42:07.000 I heard that, I didn't check myself though.

01:42:09.000 I haven't verified this, but if that happened, wow.

01:42:11.000 Yup.

01:42:12.000 What would be the basis for removal?

01:42:14.000 Hate speech.

01:42:14.000 Like his lyrics were too racy or something?

01:42:16.000 Well, the critical race theorists have won, and they won a while ago.

01:42:19.000 It's like, what?

01:42:20.000 Look.

01:42:21.000 I don't want to speak for James Lindsay, but he has this big thread that people are retweeting where he's like, there's no winning.

01:42:26.000 It's happened.

01:42:27.000 It happened a while ago.

01:42:28.000 Now they're just tolerating you, I guess, as a pressure.

01:42:31.000 Well, I don't want to put words in his mouth.

01:42:33.000 I'm saying right now, I agree with the gist of what he was saying, and I'll add this.

01:42:37.000 They won a while ago.

01:42:39.000 This show is allowed to exist as a pressure release valve for those that hate it and are angry about it.

01:42:45.000 It is a milquetoast, lukewarm opinion show where we complain about the establishment, and that's it.

01:42:53.000 They tolerate the fact that we talk about these things.

01:42:56.000 It's a pressure release valve.

01:42:57.000 That's the way I would describe it.

01:42:59.000 Yeah, plus I can go on and on and on about this one.

01:43:03.000 I mean, I think we're offering solutions a lot of ways.

01:43:05.000 We're having thought leaders on.

01:43:08.000 It's a very positive force.

01:43:09.000 Yeah, and it feels like we're desperately pulling on this rope as we're getting dragged.

01:43:15.000 I imagine like the bus flew off the cliff and we're holding on the rope to the back of it, slowly getting dragged off as well.

01:43:20.000 Waiting for Superman to come and help us.

01:43:22.000 Maybe.

01:43:23.000 Maybe there will be a Superman who swoops in, some truly charismatic leader who challenges the system, inspires the nation, and wins more votes than anyone else.

01:43:30.000 Such a fantasy.

01:43:31.000 You have to be the Superman.

01:43:32.000 You have to be the Superman.

01:43:34.000 That's right.

01:43:35.000 You have to be the Superman.

01:43:38.000 Haley Elkin says, love you guys so much.

01:43:40.000 Thanks for doing what you do.

01:43:40.000 P.S.

01:43:41.000 iTunes removed Tom McDonald's fake woke from their directory.

01:43:44.000 Man, that's crazy.

01:43:45.000 I'm trying to look it up.

01:43:47.000 Eric Miller says, if you bribe a cop, it's a crime.

01:43:49.000 If you bribe a politician, it's a lobbying.

01:43:51.000 Class privileges?

01:43:52.000 We still have the mafia.

01:43:53.000 It just went corporate.

01:43:54.000 Oh, they realized this.

01:43:56.000 They were like, man, why are we operating outside the system?

01:43:58.000 We just operate within it.

01:43:59.000 Make more money.

01:43:59.000 Just control the politicians.

01:44:02.000 All right, let's see what we got here.

01:44:03.000 Sean Cenan Cummins says, Tim, I'm 19.

01:44:06.000 I make bamboo fishing rods and boats.

01:44:09.000 The quarantine that effed NYC gave me the opportunity to pursue my dream.

01:44:12.000 Love the show.

01:44:13.000 Appreciate it, man.

01:44:14.000 That's cool.

01:44:14.000 Good, cool story.

01:44:16.000 It's not that they're afraid of him.

01:44:18.000 Says Tim, could it be that the left is still scared of Trump because nothing they plan to do will actually fix the

01:44:24.000 problems that drove people to Trump?

01:44:25.000 If they've truly won, why do they seem so afraid of him?

01:44:28.000 It's not that they're afraid of him.

01:44:30.000 Partly they are, yes.

01:44:32.000 But I think it's because they're afraid they have nothing to offer the American people other than Trump is bad.

01:44:38.000 I mean, Biden got a bunch of votes because they just screamed how awful Trump was.

01:44:42.000 Not because Joe Biden was good.

01:44:44.000 Joe Biden wasn't campaigning.

01:44:45.000 He was in his basement calling a lid.

01:44:48.000 But Orange Man bad.

01:44:50.000 And so there was, you know, a lot of conservatives pointed out there was no enthusiasm for Biden.

01:44:54.000 That was true.

01:44:55.000 But there was a ton of enthusiasm against Trump.

01:44:58.000 Many of the same polls showed that.

01:45:01.000 So they got nothing to offer, to be completely honest.

01:45:03.000 Tristan SZ says, counter-argument.

01:45:05.000 I'm an international student from Mexico, going for electrical and computer engineering, aspiring to work, spend, and live in the US.

01:45:14.000 I love American values that 90% of uh, I love American values that 90% of Democrat voters and then I think maybe

01:45:21.000 said don't I'm not sure Mark Shapcott says Ian how can you promote UBI but say abolish

01:45:26.000 the Fed?

01:45:27.000 Do you even know what you are saying?

01:45:29.000 Oh, well, I should say, specify, I wasn't really promoting universal basic income in the way Andrew Yang suggested it, but that we develop some sort of like, you know, basic living standard for humans.

01:45:41.000 The Fed, I don't know.

01:45:42.000 I don't like private banks issuing us our own money.

01:45:44.000 I think we could issue our own with like a blockchain.

01:45:46.000 So there's a set amount of it.

01:45:47.000 And then we could always create new currencies if we need to co-intermingle currencies.

01:45:51.000 Well, we have crypto, tons of tokens.

01:45:53.000 That's kind of doing that.

01:45:55.000 Navy Sooner says, Ian is starting to really grow on me.

01:45:58.000 One question for Tim, though.

01:45:59.000 Have you thought about contacting Collian Noir?

01:46:01.000 He's not just a huge 2A advocate, but he used to be a very successful lawyer.

01:46:05.000 I have, but he's a busy fella.

01:46:07.000 So Collian, feel free to come on the show whenever you want.

01:46:10.000 We will reach out again.

01:46:12.000 A couple of super chats ago, someone mentioned they were from out of the country and they were an engineer, I think, and very excited about American values.

01:46:18.000 And it made me think, what about What's happening?

01:46:21.000 Are we getting the best humans in the world coming to the United States and displacing the complacent Americans?

01:46:29.000 And if they were, is that a bad thing?

01:46:33.000 Not necessarily.

01:46:34.000 I don't know.

01:46:34.000 It's a complicated question.

01:46:37.000 You've got people whose families have shed blood, sweat, and tears for this country on the battlefield to secure it and help it grow, and they wanted their children to have a better life.

01:46:47.000 Those kids might grow up and be lazy layabouts, but it was reaping the rewards of the sacrifices of their ancestors.

01:46:55.000 You have people come here who sacrificed themselves for the countries they were in, but a lot of people are critical because when you look at, say, Honduras, Nicaragua, and what's the other country I can't think of right now?

01:47:06.000 Paraguay.

01:47:07.000 No, no, no.

01:47:07.000 What's the, uh, Honduras?

01:47:09.000 Belize.

01:47:09.000 You have a lot of these people who are coming from these countries, and they're leaving their countries, not sacrificing to make those countries better, coming here to reap the rewards of, you know, the people who came before us who shed blood, sweat, and tears.

01:47:20.000 There's a really amazing quote that I referenced a while back from Ulysses S. Grant about why states aren't allowed to secede.

01:47:28.000 And it's because, he says, the people of this country shed blood and treasure to make sure that those states could join in the union.

01:47:36.000 For them to leave now would be essentially like a theft.

01:47:39.000 So for the Americans who want to reap the rewards of their parents and live better lives, or just be comfortable to lose that because someone else wants to reap the rewards from your parents, well, that offends a lot of people.

01:47:49.000 I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but I think it's something to consider.

01:47:51.000 Well, you also have to consider, too, is that if you take a country that's maybe going through a difficult time, And the only people still in that country are the people not smart enough to figure out a way to leave?

01:48:01.000 How does that country ever recover?

01:48:03.000 If a country's going downhill and everyone who's smart enough to get out there comes to the United States or the UK or some other prosperous country, what's the future for that country?

01:48:13.000 What is it going to face?

01:48:15.000 And you end up, I think, with something like Haiti.

01:48:17.000 Brain drain.

01:48:18.000 So, like, decentralizing the intellect is probably better for the species.

01:48:22.000 You know what I think the future holds for us?

01:48:24.000 I think a strong possibility is that smart people will pull off some kind of Ayn Rand-like system.

01:48:30.000 Galt's Gulch.

01:48:31.000 Was it called Galt's Gulch?

01:48:33.000 But it's not going to be the way Atlas Shrugged depicts it.

01:48:38.000 Like, these people get really angry and just leave, and then the government's confused and industrialists in the country are like, what's happening?

01:48:43.000 Everything's falling apart.

01:48:43.000 No, no, no, no.

01:48:44.000 The smart people are all going to agree.

01:48:46.000 We need a place where we can do whatever we want because we're the smart, better people.

01:48:51.000 And the poor people can live. 0.70

01:48:52.000 It's kind of like Elysium.

01:48:53.000 You ever see Elysium?

01:48:54.000 The space station in the sky of all the wealthy and the elites and the people on the planet who live are poor.

01:48:59.000 Take a look at how, you know, the Southeast Asia works with the four tigers.

01:49:05.000 With Singapore, with Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan.

01:49:08.000 You have these areas, notably like Hong Kong and Macau, where ultra-wealthy Chinese individuals can live like capitalists, while the people on the mainland are basically treated like slaves. 0.67

01:49:18.000 I think the future holds something of that at a global level for us.

01:49:21.000 We have to be careful because if you centralize too much power in one spot, if that spot gets devastated, you lose the power.

01:49:27.000 It's not about one spot.

01:49:28.000 It's about having a passport.

01:49:29.000 It's like, there'll be a world where there'll be certain people... Like, it already is this way, to be completely honest.

01:49:35.000 The ultra-wealthy can do whatever they want.

01:49:36.000 COVID lockdowns happened, and rich people got in private jets and flew without passports to Germany.

01:49:41.000 And it was like, people complained about it.

01:49:42.000 It's like, what are you gonna do?

01:49:44.000 They're the global elites.

01:49:45.000 They're the industrialists.

01:49:46.000 They're the wealthy.

01:49:46.000 They live by a different set of rules.

01:49:48.000 This thing I'm saying...

01:49:51.000 Probably already exists, and I think most of us realize it.

01:49:52.000 Yeah, that was my first thought.

01:49:53.000 Yeah, it's exactly how it works right now.

01:49:55.000 Rich people get to do whatever they want, whenever they want.

01:49:57.000 They buy beachfront property while telling you to give everything up because of climate change.

01:50:00.000 They fly in private jets to accept their awards for environmentalism. 1.00

01:50:03.000 But in Ayn Rand, it's not just rich idiots. 1.00

01:50:05.000 It's like the intellectual elite of the Earth, right? 1.00

01:50:08.000 Right.

01:50:08.000 Well, Ayn Rand's novel, I'm a huge fan of her work.

01:50:13.000 But it's important to remember that Atlas Shrugged and her other stories too, they're written in a romantic style.

01:50:19.000 And that's why so many little literary critics who will never amount to anything in their lives hate her, is because they don't grasp that it's written in a true romantic style.

01:50:29.000 But in theory, I mean, the rich have always lived that way, to be honest with you.

01:50:33.000 They always have.

01:50:33.000 I mean, what's the point of being rich if you can't do stuff like that?

01:50:39.000 Yeah, they can speed and they don't care. 0.80

01:50:41.000 They can violate laws and you can buy citizenship. 0.98

01:50:43.000 When you're talking about creating an intellectual society, I agree, kind of parlaying from what we were talking about, that centralizing that would be dangerous because, like, if everyone moved to Mars and you have this intellectual community on Mars or on a space station and the space station blew up, there it goes.

01:50:57.000 You're making a small, small error here in that I think it's important not to confuse IQ with character.

01:51:02.000 Those two things don't necessarily go in hand in hand.

01:51:06.000 And if, you know, you want to just bring some high IQ thing, you end up with, you know, some university where everybody's a supposed genius, but I mean, they can't even create a pillow company on their own.

01:51:17.000 So.

01:51:17.000 Well, we'll see.

01:51:18.000 I think they'll be successful.

01:51:19.000 The way I described it earlier is it's woke capitalism.

01:51:22.000 It's tribal capitalism. 0.71

01:51:23.000 It's a little different.

01:51:24.000 They're going to sell pillows from people who just want to own the cons. 1.00

01:51:27.000 They're not going to be particularly good pillows.

01:51:29.000 They're going to be particularly expensive, but they'll sell them.

01:51:31.000 Will the company be around in five years?

01:51:32.000 How many jobs will it create?

01:51:34.000 How much wealth long-term will it create?

01:51:37.000 I'm not getting much.

01:51:37.000 Maybe not.

01:51:38.000 Yeah, five years.

01:51:39.000 Well, anybody can grift for a couple minutes.

01:51:41.000 As they say, that Parkland survivor, every great movement eventually becomes a business before devolving into a racket.

01:51:50.000 Now we're in the racket phase where they're making pillows, guys.

01:51:54.000 Wow!

01:51:56.000 Alright, we got a big ol' Super Chats.

01:51:57.000 It's a series of Super Chats.

01:51:59.000 A Google user says, People think the Boston Tea Party was the revolution.

01:52:03.000 Yet 20 years later, in 1775, King George ordered the colonists hung and snubbed the Olive Branch petition.

01:52:11.000 However, the Boston Tea Party left the crew and... Alright, let's see if I can find the next one. 0.67

01:52:16.000 Cargo alone.

01:52:17.000 Only one lock was damaged, which was promptly replaced, and the one member violated their principles was reprimanded and turned in.

01:52:25.000 Unlike the Jacobin Revolution in France, the American Revolution was a conservative reaction to reclaim.

01:52:30.000 And now we scroll down.

01:52:31.000 Here we go.

01:52:33.000 Let's see if we can find the next one.

01:52:34.000 Reclaim what?

01:52:35.000 Where's the super chat?

01:52:36.000 Yes, there we go. Oh, I just jumped on me all right, so so the super chance to do this where it's

01:52:41.000 like when you scroll too much it just flips the whole thing up and

01:52:44.000 Reclaim what reclaim what rights recognized under the 1600s Glorious Revolution?

01:52:51.000 Read the spirit of laws and the two treats ease treaties treatises of government

01:52:57.000 You will find it's the definition of American conservatism.

01:53:01.000 Love your show.

01:53:03.000 Also, do more history.

01:53:04.000 I mean, that'd be fun.

01:53:05.000 I think there's one more in the... It was supposed to be five tweets?

01:53:08.000 Maybe it was only...

01:53:10.000 There we go.

01:53:11.000 Oh, there's a fourth one missing.

01:53:12.000 Yeah, where's the fourth one?

01:53:12.000 Well, hey, sorry, buddy.

01:53:14.000 Looks like YouTube didn't make it function properly.

01:53:17.000 We'll read this one.

01:53:18.000 Jerome Moro says, Ian, anything of value to us that does not occur naturally in the wild requires some human to do some work to create that value from nature.

01:53:26.000 Money can only work if it's a credit for a specific amount of value someone else created from the natural world.

01:53:33.000 Yeah.

01:53:34.000 Laura says, Tim, your attitude is awful.

01:53:36.000 Well, you know.

01:53:38.000 Sometimes.

01:53:39.000 Sometimes I have a bad attitude.

01:53:40.000 I don't agree with that.

01:53:41.000 Well, I mean, I do agree with that statement.

01:53:43.000 What, my attitude being awful?

01:53:44.000 No, sometimes.

01:53:45.000 But not tonight.

01:53:46.000 Not right now.

01:53:48.000 Okay, here we go.

01:53:50.000 Ew, E-W says, Ian, for the love of God, please learn basic economics.

01:53:55.000 Also, Tim, I was a registered GOP since 98.

01:53:57.000 I changed to independent last month because I'm done with spineless GOP.

01:54:01.000 They don't listen.

01:54:02.000 Has nothing to do with January 6th events.

01:54:04.000 I've heard that a lot.

01:54:05.000 That's what many people do.

01:54:06.000 Well, you know, if you're, if you decide you're in a state where you have to be GOP to vote

01:54:10.000 in the primary and you don't like the direction the parties are going in, you're going to

01:54:14.000 like it a hell of a lot less if you stop voting in that primary.

01:54:17.000 Because suddenly you lose what little sliver of influence you have.

01:54:20.000 So I would just warn the person that the party is determined by whoever shows up.

01:54:25.000 And if you don't like the way it looks, and you decide to react to that, not by bringing more people who look like you into it, but by leaving, you're going to like it even less.

01:54:35.000 You're warned.

01:54:36.000 I don't know, man.

01:54:37.000 I didn't vote.

01:54:38.000 I voted in 2008 and then I didn't vote.

01:54:41.000 How do you like how things are going, Tim?

01:54:44.000 Not well.

01:54:44.000 I'm not happy with it.

01:54:46.000 But then I voted in 2020 and it's still worse.

01:54:50.000 So it's kind of like...

01:54:52.000 Man, I don't like the Republicans.

01:54:55.000 I don't like, for the most part, having to vote for them because all they are, essentially, is a stopgap. 0.74

01:54:59.000 The way to describe it is they're the ones sitting in the rocking chair saying, slow down there, mister, as the Democrats run wild and go crazy.

01:55:05.000 And there's no political party with any power that actually fights for strong individualist values.

01:55:11.000 The Republican Party certainly doesn't do that.

01:55:13.000 And they don't even fight... The things they do fight for, if they even do fight for it, certainly are not individualism.

01:55:18.000 And the Democrats are the exact opposite.

01:55:19.000 They're just destroying everything.

01:55:22.000 You look at California and it's just like, wow, there's a saying that California is a few years ahead of the rest of the country.

01:55:28.000 Now help us if that's true, because that's going to get real gruesome.

01:55:31.000 What would Thomas Jefferson tell you to do?

01:55:33.000 Run for office.

01:55:34.000 Well, Thomas Jefferson said a bunch of stuff you can't say on YouTube these days.

01:55:38.000 But if he was here right now, what would he tell you?

01:55:40.000 Something I can't repeat on YouTube.

01:55:42.000 Tell me in the bonus segment.

01:55:43.000 Yeah, we'll mention it in the bonus segment.

01:55:45.000 No joke.

01:55:45.000 We will open literally in the bonus segment with what Thomas Jefferson said to do.

01:55:49.000 And I think a lot of people know, and you can't say it on YouTube.

01:55:52.000 Is it about a tree?

01:55:54.000 It might be.

01:55:55.000 It might be.

01:55:55.000 I can't recall.

01:55:56.000 I know what you're talking about.

01:55:59.000 But he also said something to the effect of purging and rewriting the Constitution and the people need to be active in the process.

01:56:06.000 It's true, we need an amendment process, but there's no guarantee you're actually going to get it.

01:56:11.000 Uh, we got a super chat just says, uh, go Luke!

01:56:13.000 There you go, he's just sitting there scrolling.

01:56:16.000 Yeah, go where?

01:56:17.000 Go! 0.95

01:56:17.000 Get out, get out of here. 0.95

01:56:18.000 Florida?

01:56:20.000 Rachel says, you laugh, but Nikola Tesla wanted the same thing, free electricity for all.

01:56:25.000 It's possible.

01:56:25.000 He did, he did.

01:56:27.000 What's, what do you got here?

01:56:30.000 Mythic Rouge Chalor says, there is a song with a simple message from a band I like.

01:56:36.000 It's by the band called May, what is this?

01:56:39.000 Maybe She Will.

01:56:41.000 The song is called Not For Want Of Trying.

01:56:45.000 Interesting.

01:56:46.000 We'll check it out.

01:56:48.000 AW says, no matter the system, capitalism, socialism, communism, it will always become corrupt.

01:56:54.000 We will go through cycles of resetting each system when need be.

01:56:58.000 Interesting.

01:57:00.000 Alejandro says, the solution to corruption and transparency of taxation is the blockchain.

01:57:05.000 Bitcoin is perfect for the job with its decentralized public ledger.

01:57:09.000 That's actually a really good point.

01:57:11.000 I often talk about how Bitcoin is going to make everyone's transactions public.

01:57:16.000 And someone with a strong enough computer, not particularly strong, can track all of your transactions.

01:57:20.000 They do it now.

01:57:21.000 Same thing is true for government accounts.

01:57:23.000 The government wants to transact Bitcoins, we can all watch it happen.

01:57:27.000 That'll be fun.

01:57:28.000 Wasn't it like a bunch of FBI agents took the money from Ross Ulbricht and like spent it or something?

01:57:33.000 A few corrupt ones that were involved in a case that, you know, they got caught stealing.

01:57:39.000 Wow.

01:57:40.000 Well, there you go.

01:57:42.000 Release the Craggle says, read Jefferson's letter to William Smith.

01:57:45.000 It talks deeply about a government who isn't motivated by its people.

01:57:48.000 Interesting read if you catch my drift.

01:57:50.000 Huh, interesting.

01:57:52.000 Slane Hope says, we argue about the morality of giving poor people money when we give it to the rich like they own the printing press.

01:57:59.000 You are for the double standard?

01:58:01.000 No, I'm not.

01:58:04.000 I've been calling out government welfare or corporate socialism from the very beginning, especially with the big banks, especially with all the big tech companies, especially with all the special interests and startup groups and money that has been intermingled.

01:58:16.000 And I think that's way more important than even the basic welfare.

01:58:20.000 Jake Dean says, Englishtimcast.com member here.

01:58:23.000 Love you guys.

01:58:23.000 I watch you during my graveyard shift every night.

01:58:26.000 Also, I really admire Ian's optimism.

01:58:28.000 Well, that's a good thing.

01:58:29.000 Let's keep it up.

01:58:30.000 Pseudosign says, question for Ian and Tim.

01:58:32.000 Many people say they care about social security nets.

01:58:35.000 Why not choose to give to nonprofits instead of forcing all to pay?

01:58:38.000 Why use government?

01:58:40.000 What do you think, Ian?

01:58:41.000 I was actually doing a little research on Battelle, who Jeremy Riss brought up, the scientist that kind of is a, it's actually a non-profit that oversees and manages all of our science institutes, all of our laboratories in the United States.

01:58:52.000 A non-profit.

01:58:53.000 So that's not the kind of non-profit I want to fund.

01:58:56.000 I think just the fact that someone is a non-profit doesn't mean they can't become immensely corrupt and profitable. 0.92

01:59:02.000 They're all corrupt.

01:59:03.000 And they're all profitable. 0.96

01:59:04.000 You can pay yourself any amount of money.

01:59:07.000 They're not all corrupt.

01:59:09.000 Matt's organization is not corrupt.

01:59:12.000 I'll tell you this.

01:59:13.000 I actually have a very experienced answer for your question.

01:59:18.000 I was a fundraiser for nonprofits.

01:59:19.000 Many of them.

01:59:20.000 Some of the biggest in the world. 0.99

01:59:22.000 And they were all corrupt. 0.97

01:59:23.000 Every single one of them. 0.64

01:59:25.000 Some of the small ones that I worked for? 0.92

01:59:26.000 Totally corrupt.

01:59:27.000 Some of the bigger ones? 0.59

01:59:28.000 Oh, absolutely corrupt.

01:59:29.000 You see, they call it a non-profit, but they're profits.

01:59:32.000 They're for-profits.

01:59:32.000 They're corporations.

01:59:33.000 They're private entities.

01:59:34.000 And there's no guarantee that the money you give goes to what you think it's gonna go to.

01:59:37.000 They use clever accounting and word tactics to make it seem like the money you give goes to a cause, but for the most part, I've found small non-profits of a small handful of people tend to be okay and try.

01:59:48.000 They're legitimate.

01:59:49.000 Big non-profits, medium-sized non-profits, and even small non-profits that still have several million dollars to their yearly bottom line, all corrupt.

01:59:58.000 Because what happens is, a legitimate non-profit that grows to a certain size, eventually they start paying their executives a certain amount of money, and then in order to maintain that amount of money, they have to use strong-arm fundraising tactics to survive.

02:00:11.000 Once the mission is complete, a non-profit should cease to exist.

02:00:14.000 That never, never happens.

02:00:16.000 And I have lived through this.

02:00:18.000 I have worked for these companies.

02:00:19.000 Hey, you solved the problem you were fighting for.

02:00:21.000 Now what?

02:00:22.000 Well, that wasn't the real problem!

02:00:24.000 I need a job.

02:00:25.000 And they won't give it up.

02:00:26.000 The other problem is that many non-profits are just masks.

02:00:29.000 A way to launder money, essentially.

02:00:31.000 I donated a million dollars to save the environment.

02:00:35.000 The million dollars went to my own personal non-profit where I pay myself a salary of half a million dollars a year over the next two years and then dissolve the company.

02:00:41.000 So no, I didn't really, you know, donate to anything.

02:00:43.000 There are a lot of problems in the non-profit industry, and there's nothing you can really do about it.

02:00:47.000 Non-profits are private corporations, and I don't trust them the same as I would trust any other private corporation to take money, and they're supposed to give it out to help people.

02:00:54.000 Except for some small ones.

02:00:55.000 Like this one, maybe.

02:00:56.000 How many employees do you have?

02:00:57.000 We have exactly one paid employee, and it isn't me.

02:01:00.000 Within the next month, we should have two.

02:01:02.000 I like to put myself on salary by the end of the year.

02:01:06.000 If we raise the money to do that, I will be paid a salary of 60k plus health benefits.

02:01:10.000 What do you use the money for when it comes in?

02:01:13.000 To hire people.

02:01:14.000 So right now the one employee that we have paid is our research director.

02:01:17.000 So he's overseeing and training all of the researchers, the volunteer researchers, who are going name by name through folks to establish with fortified information whether or not they actually lived in the state of Georgia when they cast ballots.

02:01:30.000 Whether or not Wisconsin voters who claimed indefinitely confined status to vote without A.D.s were in fact indefinitely confined.

02:01:36.000 That kind of work.

02:01:37.000 More additional staff would be moved into states like Virginia to stand outside and organize volunteers to stand outside Costco for 18 hours a day registering voters or to walk into churches and stand at the pulpit and explain why it's important to register to vote.

02:01:52.000 Get those people registered and then put on events like bring in speakers to talk about issues and hire local bands to play songs to draw a crowd to share the message that we have.

02:02:03.000 And then to turn them out to vote on election day by knocking on the doors, calling them, showing up at major public events, reminding people to go out and vote.

02:02:11.000 So all of the work we do is very transparent, and it's also very measurable.

02:02:16.000 I mean, a lot of non-profits, they say they're doing something right, but how do you measure what they're doing?

02:02:21.000 Look Ahead America.

02:02:21.000 We can tell you exactly how many people we registered to vote.

02:02:24.000 We can even give you their names.

02:02:26.000 How many people who stopped voting that we reached out to who then started voting again.

02:02:30.000 So, everything is measurable.

02:02:31.000 We have to file and we'll be filing this year.

02:02:33.000 We're working with our treasurer to do this 990 form which tells you how every dollar was spent and how much all the employees were paid, the top three people, you know, whatever money they were paid.

02:02:43.000 So, that's exactly what we spend our money on.

02:02:46.000 Field offices.

02:02:47.000 So, we'll be renting places like church basements for like 500 bucks a month so we can have a place to organize our employees and do our on-the-ground training.

02:02:55.000 Et cetera, et cetera.

02:02:56.000 You got Voter Integrity Project.

02:02:58.000 Is that actually organized?

02:02:59.000 We folded Voter Integrity Project into Look Ahead America, because originally Voter Integrity Project was a spur of the moment thing, which wasn't part of anything.

02:03:08.000 It basically functionally was my firm was contract for hire.

02:03:11.000 And again, in that instance, I took the pledge.

02:03:13.000 I was not going to take a single penny of that for myself at all.

02:03:16.000 And I did not.

02:03:18.000 Much to maybe my wife's chagrin.

02:03:21.000 No, I didn't take a nickel of that, and all of it was spent on buying data, paying for data analysis, paying for phone centers, etc.

02:03:28.000 But we folded that into Look Ahead America, so now at least when people make a contribution it can be tax-deductible, and it can be more easily accounted for, and it's just sort of a natural home for it now.

02:03:37.000 They can donate on your website?

02:03:38.000 Lookaheadamerica.org.

02:03:40.000 They can donate, or if you can't donate, sign up to volunteer.

02:03:45.000 Unless you're one of these fat and happy people Tim was describing earlier who just don't care because life's comfortable enough, you either got to donate or you got to volunteer.

02:03:53.000 You got to do one of the two.

02:03:55.000 Yep.

02:03:56.000 I love you.

02:03:57.000 See, donating is a simple way to, if you don't have the time, you can help someone else have the time because that money you provide is the resource someone else can use to eat, to live, and then do that work.

02:04:07.000 I had a friend in South America pulling plastic out of the Atai River and I donated a couple thousand.

02:04:12.000 I had all this crypto money and I was like, I'm just going to donate it.

02:04:15.000 It felt so good.

02:04:16.000 She was able to buy plastic bags because the community needed bags to put the trash in.

02:04:21.000 What an amazing, just an amazing feeling.

02:04:24.000 I didn't just throw money at something.

02:04:26.000 I specifically targeted an organization that I knew could use it.

02:04:29.000 I knew what they were using it for.

02:04:30.000 Good for you, man.

02:04:31.000 Amazing.

02:04:32.000 We'll do one more super chat here.

02:04:33.000 Proud American says, Since the Time article, how are we ever supposed to believe the Dems and establishment?

02:04:40.000 They did it once successfully that we know of.

02:04:42.000 Was an, quote, elite cabal behind Russiagate chop the capital COVID?

02:04:47.000 What do you think?

02:04:48.000 Look, we have to organize.

02:04:50.000 We have to organize smart.

02:04:51.000 We have to work hard, work smart, and combat that.

02:04:55.000 The left is going to do what the left is going to do.

02:04:56.000 They always will.

02:04:57.000 All we can control is what we're going to do about it.

02:05:00.000 And it's in our hands.

02:05:02.000 Well, the one thing you can do right now, the easiest thing to ensure that the fight rages on is smash that like button, support this channel, subscribe, hit the notification bell.

02:05:47.000 Thank you all so much for hanging out.

02:05:49.000 And Matt, I know you mentioned Look Ahead America.

02:05:52.000 Several times already, but you know, what else do you want to do?

02:05:54.000 Sign up for training next Thursday, 8 p.m.

02:05:57.000 to 1030 p.m.

02:06:01.000 And if you're a gamer, you like Discord, come hang out with us at discord.gg slash lookaheadamerica and join our server.

02:06:11.000 We have a contest for emoticons.

02:06:12.000 We're going to give away a free t-shirt.

02:06:14.000 Oh, right.

02:06:14.000 Free t-shirts.

02:06:15.000 People like t-shirts, right?

02:06:16.000 Yep, and it's made in the USA.

02:06:17.000 Yeah, real quick, something funny.

02:06:19.000 There was a scientific study they did where the actual research was a trick.

02:06:25.000 The actual research was at the end, they said if you do this, you know, fill out this questionnaire, you get a free t-shirt.

02:06:30.000 They had one group choose a color of t-shirt.

02:06:32.000 Do you want red, green, or blue?

02:06:34.000 And then people would choose their shirt.

02:06:35.000 And then they would be asked again as they left, are you satisfied with your choice?

02:06:40.000 The next group was given just a free shirt.

02:06:42.000 It was yellow.

02:06:43.000 The people who left the yellow shirt, they said, how satisfied do you feel with the whole experience?

02:06:47.000 They were very satisfied.

02:06:48.000 They said, I love it.

02:06:48.000 This is amazing.

02:06:49.000 The people who got to choose were upset.

02:06:51.000 They felt they chose the wrong color.

02:06:53.000 Henry Ford had it right.

02:06:55.000 You can have the Model T in any color you want, as long as it's black.

02:06:58.000 Right.

02:07:00.000 Did someone say t-shirts?

02:07:02.000 How oddly coincidental!

02:07:04.000 I actually just started a t-shirt giveaway two hours ago right before the show and I'm doing it right now on twitter.com forward slash LukeWeAreChange.

02:07:12.000 LukeWeAreChange is my twitter handle and if you send me your meme I will be picking 10 people that I will be giving whatever you want from our store that is available on thebestpoliticalshirts.com.

02:07:26.000 Enter right now by going to Twitter and of course check me out on my YouTube channel, WeAreChange, which I'm already getting into a lot of trouble for having.

02:07:34.000 WeAreChange is the YouTube channel.

02:07:35.000 Thanks for having me on.

02:07:36.000 You guys can follow me at Ian Crossland on the internet at YouTube.

02:07:39.000 You can follow my YouTube channel.

02:07:41.000 Hit me up on Instagram and Twitter, where I will be posting updates about when I go live on Twitch at twitch.tv slash Ian Crossland.

02:07:48.000 I stream from day to day.

02:07:50.000 I have not set a schedule yet, but it will be most likely in the afternoons, Monday through Friday.

02:07:54.000 I'm very excited to get that rolling on a daily basis, and I'll see you there.

02:07:58.000 Very cool hearing about Ian's Twitch, and I was thinking about Look Ahead America's Twitch, and that's so cool that you guys are kind of getting into the gaming culture.

02:08:05.000 I love the idea of having these events with music and stuff, and I know that your training is during our show, but I really think that our show is recorded.

02:08:12.000 You can go back and check it out later.

02:08:14.000 You should go check out Matt's training.

02:08:15.000 I'm SourPatchLids on Twitter and mine's IanRealSourPatchLids on Instagram and Gab.

02:08:22.000 Are you going to say something?

02:08:23.000 I was going to say that if you happen to see Tim Pool's show instead, I don't, I, I, now they realize we're in a little bit of a conflict here, but our, our, our training, our training will also be, um, uh, available on YouTube.

02:08:35.000 So if you have other reasons for not being able to make it, so maybe you can just dual stream them, just have them at the same time.

02:08:41.000 Do you have a Twitch?

02:08:43.000 Uh, No.

02:08:44.000 It was lost in communication.

02:08:45.000 He's got a Discord server, which is another program that integrates with Twitch.

02:08:50.000 My bad.

02:08:50.000 Sure.

02:08:51.000 But he's also a hardcore gamer.

02:08:52.000 I don't know.

02:08:53.000 Are you a gamer?

02:08:54.000 I play World of Warships from time to time.

02:08:56.000 There you go.

02:08:57.000 Get some physics.

02:08:58.000 Well, we're going to record a special bonus segment coming up just later in the hour because we're going to record it right now, basically.

02:09:04.000 So thank you all so much for hanging out.

02:09:06.000 If you want to watch it, it should be up again in about an hour at TimCast.com.

02:09:09.000 Become a member now, and we'll see if it gets spicy.

02:09:13.000 Thanks for hanging out.

02:09:14.000 We'll see you all then.
