On today's show, we discuss the jury selection process for the D.J. Chavis vs. George Floyd case, the controversy surrounding the release of the names of the other jurors in the case, and more!
00:00:47.000One, apparently one of the jurors who was selected said Black Lives Matter is too extreme and hasn't seen the George Floyd video.
00:00:53.000Another juror was a woman of color who apparently has a relative who is a cop.
00:00:58.000So that, interestingly, It probably is favorable for Chauvin in some ways, especially saying Black Lives Matter is a bit too extreme, but I think both sides, you know, they've expressed themselves in these jurors, so they're probably satisfied with them to a certain degree.
00:01:12.000But we have another crazy story within this.
00:01:14.000Jack Posobiec tweeted, one of the jurors said they feared that if their name was released, their home would be attacked by leftist rioters, and they're right.
00:02:44.000I keep telling people to delete their histories.
00:02:46.000Like, every so often, you just gotta delete everything.
00:02:49.000Yeah, because that one woman, that corrupt journalist from Axios, who was dating the guy in the Biden administration, and then like, don't worry, it's not a violation of ethics, when it like, was.
00:06:11.000You've paid back what you were given, you know, or it's like you should pay back what you were given, but at a certain point it becomes predatory.
00:06:18.000So I think the first thing I'm going to do is stop colleges from doing it.
00:06:22.000We're gonna talk about what's going on with this stuff.
00:06:23.000Don't forget we got Lydia pressing all the buttons.
00:06:24.000I am pushing all the buttons in the corner.
00:06:25.000This is the second birthday I've got to hang out with Tim, which is always fun.
00:06:28.000George Alexopoulos made a little cartoon for Tim on this illustrious Beanie Appreciation Day, so you guys should check it out over on my Twitter.
00:09:28.000Juror number eight says he is concerned rioters will attack his house if he serves on the jury and his name is released in the George Floyd trial.
00:09:37.000Zobek goes on to say, he adds, he would be concerned about them coming after his wife and kids.
00:10:20.000Yeah, the lawyer was asking people, he was like, you know, how do you feel about the fact that they had to put up all this stuff outside the courthouse to protect it?
00:11:51.000Like, there's a guy on trial for second-degree murder, and we can criticize, you know, I think manslaughter is the argument, not murder at all.
00:13:51.000You give someone a handgun who's never shot a handgun before and they're surprised they can't hit anything with it.
00:13:56.000And then try and put them in one of these situations and they think they know what would happen.
00:13:59.000For all we know, Chavin was just like, his mind was going a mile a minute, and he's got people around him screaming and filming, and so he's just totally pulled from the moment, and he's kneeling on George Floyd because they were trained to do it, and he did it for several minutes too long.
00:15:06.000Tucker said he did die of overdose, but the medical examiner said that's not what he reported.
00:15:12.000I guess the general idea from the medical examiner is it was a combination of all of these factors, which I guess the suggestion is if he wasn't restrained that way, he would not have died.
00:16:00.000White chemist who thinks Black Lives Matter is too extreme and hasn't seen the George Floyd video, and woman of color who's related to a cop are the first two jurors selected in Derek Chauvin's trial.
00:16:11.000So that so far, I'm like, that sounds favorable for Chavin.
00:16:14.000I mean, a guy who thinks Black Lives Matter is too extreme.
00:16:17.000He's probably approaching this from a more neutral, but I mean, it sounds like he's biased against Black Lives Matter.
00:16:23.000Not that I think Black Lives Matter will play a big role in whether or not Chavin did right or wrong, because it's not like George Floyd was literally a Black Lives Matter activist.
00:16:30.000But then you have this woman who's related to a cop.
00:16:33.000So, to what degree is she related to him?
00:16:35.000Is it like her uncle she doesn't talk to?
00:16:37.000Or is it, you know, her brother who tells her stories every single day?
00:16:45.000But I think either way, so far, this leans in his favor.
00:16:47.000Especially when you consider all of these jurors, like you were mentioning, have to walk into this building surrounded by barricades and razor wire and cops.
00:16:54.000And then they're like, how do you feel knowing they had to do this?
00:17:27.000Or maybe they're like, we are suffering.
00:17:30.000The homicide rate is through the roof, the riots are gonna happen no matter what we do, and if we lock this cop up, we're not gonna be able to get any more cops in this city.
00:17:39.000Considering their spending was at $6.4 million, I wouldn't be surprised if they're like, you know, throw it to the prosecutor, just like, you know, throw the case, let him win, let him get off, and then we can say we did what we're supposed to do, they're gonna riot no matter what we do, and then we can tell all the cops, don't worry, you won't go to prison.
00:17:56.000I'm kind of nervous about the juror that said he was afraid they were going to attack his family.
00:18:01.000If, so that means like, if he's afraid of being, if he's being, that sounds like he's being coerced already.
00:18:06.000Like, why would you put a juror on the jury that... Well, why wouldn't you be afraid that they're going to attack your family?
00:18:11.000I mean, people will come to your house and launch fireworks at it for mean tweets.
00:18:25.000Like Minneapolis activists were going to people's houses.
00:18:27.000They had a doxing Facebook group where they posted addresses and different things of people who were Trump supporters.
00:18:34.000Like they had a mob go to somebody's house just because they had a Trump flag last year.
00:18:38.000I was we were we were talking it was last year was the day that happened to you and I was talking about how like with all the riots going on you know at the house we got to be we got to be careful and everybody should be vigilant and you know keep your eyes and ears open and ready because we might start seeing these people show up at houses and I remember some of my friends were just like I don't think so man no look like they're protesting and rioting but they're not going to people's houses And then like the next day I see Cassandra being like, they were at my house banging on the doors, firing fireworks, and I'm just like... Let's get that house.
00:19:12.000I was covering the riot that night, and it was like two miles from my house, you know where I lived.
00:19:16.000It was, you know, pretty close to the White House, and it was the night they burnt that church, and I was talking to my boyfriend on the phone, and I was like, I'm kind of freaked out.
00:19:23.000I got like way more specific death threats than normal today.
00:19:27.000Because they get them all the time, but like...
00:19:30.000People are messaging me, like, my address and DMing me my address and all this stuff.
00:19:35.000And I was like, I'm a little worried, but I guess I'm gonna go to bed.
00:19:38.000And then, like, literally two minutes after I got off the phone, I just hear, like, pooh, pooh, pooh, pooh.
00:19:55.000It was, like, 4 o'clock in the morning.
00:19:58.000And then like just minutes later I hear this car like screech and then slam the brakes because I lived on a corner and they like turn that way and then they get out and like fireworks just start launching at my house and then I hear somebody banging on my window with what sounded like a stick or something.
00:20:13.000And then you had some media activist go around claiming that you made the whole story up.
00:20:18.000Yeah, so he said that he talked to my neighbors who had a Black Lives Matter flag in their window, but my boyfriend went over there and was like, hey, did you talk to him?
00:20:27.000They were like, no, nobody even came here.
00:21:08.000So I'll just say that I don't want to contribute to the fire, so I think I'll just leave her name out of it.
00:21:15.000But she's a prominent I guess, I don't want to say culture war, because she doesn't entirely cover culture war subjects, but she does, you know, dip her feet into the culture war issues and cause trouble.
00:21:26.000She had tweeted that this VC guy, Marc Andreessen, said the on Clubhouse.
00:24:03.000They'll then say, in an article, Tim Pool, comma, who has said on his podcast, I have a pen, comma, that phrase in and of itself is meaningless.
00:24:12.000But imagine if you were quoting someone who said something offensive.
00:24:15.000Imagine if you were like, can you believe Ian when he said, I don't like, you know, chocolate ice cream?
00:24:21.000Then what they'll do is they'll say, you know, Tim Pool on his show, who said... That's gross!
00:24:52.000He'll be like, OK, you know, whatever.
00:24:55.000And so everybody just started doing it and we were, I was at the White House and I was trolling and I was like, oh, we're taking over this liberal space.
00:25:18.000And so this woman from Fusion started tweeting that, like, we were making the white power sign, started tweeting the 4chan memes.
00:25:25.000And I was like, I've never even seen this.
00:25:28.000And I think so you ended up losing that.
00:25:30.000Well, yeah, but they they ruled that she did defame me, but that it was I couldn't win the defamation suit because I was deliberately trolling on Twitter.
00:25:42.000And so it was like, yes, I was trolling, but I was trolling a different way.
00:25:48.000But whatever, we ended up not pursuing it further.
00:25:51.000I think it was easily provable that she knew she was lying because what this... I don't want to call her a journalist.
00:25:58.000What she did was she took an image from 4chan, a meme image from 4chan, but then linked something from the Anti-Defamation League that showed something totally different.
00:26:09.000So the Anti-Defamation League link showed like a two-hand gesture maneuver, but then she attached a 4chan meme to it to make people think they were the same thing.
00:27:19.000They're sitting back with their feet up, you know, clipping their cigar and smoking, being like, these guys are so dumb.
00:27:23.000They think they're trolling us, and we're using everything against them, and it works.
00:27:27.000Meanwhile, you have these right-wing dudes laughing, being like, look, they really believe it means white power, and the journalist is like, I don't.
00:28:01.000And so they were like, they're throwing up white power!
00:28:03.000And there was like this, I guess what happened was there was something in the window of like a store and then I guess they smashed the window up because it was a basketball player yelling three pointer.
00:28:20.000So they're like on the stairs of the Lincoln Memorial and the Native American guy shows up.
00:28:23.000People started posting photos from the high school where in the basketball game they're holding up the three pointer sign and they're like, the school are white supremacists!
00:29:00.000But, like, they're screaming that Donald Trump staged an insurrection, and, like, you know, I'm just like, I know, but, like, what about when, like, the feminists stormed the Senate and, you know, congressional buildings, like, three times?
00:29:20.000Urban Dictionary, which is supposed to be where you define colloquial terms used in, you know, modern settings, deleted BlueAnon.
00:29:27.000Because BlueAnon was basically saying it is a reference to Democrat voters and individuals who believe unhinged conspiracies about Russian collusion and that mobs and militias are going to storm the Capitol at any moment and they need razor wire.
00:29:52.000I thought Urban Dictionary was like where normal people would go and kind of crowdsource the meaning of these up-and-coming, you know, the kids these days are using these words.
00:31:00.000Do you remember when Maisie Hirono was saying that saying the word sexual orientation were offensive and Merriam-Webster went in and changed it so that this was obviously a pejorative?
00:32:09.000And it kind of insinuates it's abrupt.
00:32:11.000Because in Neo, when he takes the red pill, he's like shocked into reality.
00:32:14.000But I don't want to necessarily entertain the concept that one tribe has all the answers, necessarily.
00:32:22.000Like, when they say, you know, red pills, I say like, Sure, but the people who use the phrase Red Pill aren't always right, and I don't want it to be a tribal thing where you go to someone who might not agree with conservatives.
00:32:34.000Like, Clifton clearly was not conservative, and so his worldview is very, very different from people who are conservative, who are more likely to use those phrases.
00:32:43.000However, that being said, if we're into the fair assessment and definition of what red pill is, I think Michael Malice's definition... What does he basically say when... White pilling.
00:32:54.000Michael Malice's definition of red pilling is that when you realize the narrative of the corporate press is, you know, it's like... The cathedral is wrong.
00:33:02.000So it's all about looking past the corporate press.
00:33:06.000It's remarkable when I have a conversation with someone and they're like, look man, you know, all these people rioting and protesting, yeah, but Trump staged an insurrection.
00:33:15.000And I'm like, they were banging on the doors of the Supreme Court building when Kavanaugh was there.
00:33:19.000They changed the definitions in dictionaries to smear the Supreme Court justices they don't like.
00:33:25.000The women in the pink hats literally stormed into the congressional buildings occupying every floor and got Congress shut down.
00:35:53.000They're sitting there saying, we only want corporate establishment press.
00:35:57.000We want the cathedral's narrative to be the only narrative.
00:36:00.000However, they need an excuse to ban people.
00:36:03.000There were a lot of problems when they started randomly banning people, and it led to huge press cycles of like, why was this person banned?
00:36:53.000But it's like, what real argument do you have for a big boycott or a big push when they broke the rule?
00:37:02.000So certainly, we still push back and say that shouldn't be a rule.
00:37:05.000You should be allowed to express your opinion and say what you want to say.
00:37:08.000But from a technical standpoint, You end up with some low-level Google employee that, like, I might be able to email or have access to, and they're gonna be like, I just can't override my boss.
00:38:22.000He's not gonna be able to tweet or go on YouTube and say anything.
00:38:25.000So the only thing that will come from Trump is going to be the like purest distilled version of Trump without the nonsensical tweets calling someone horseface.
00:38:34.000I mean, unless he hops on Parler or something.
00:38:51.000MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says he is launching his own social media site in the next four or five weeks after being barred from Twitter for election fraud claims.
00:39:00.000Now, I'll tell you this, Mike Lindell Was it just barred from Twitter?
00:39:05.000He was being interviewed and they turned his mic off?
00:39:08.000Yeah, and on Newsmax, one of the anchors stormed off because Michael O'Dell wouldn't stop talking about the election.
00:39:15.000And you know, the crazy thing is, man, look...
00:39:18.000With all due respect, Crowder even talked about the claims Mike Lindell has made, and he's like, I'm sorry someone gave him bad information, it's just not true.
00:39:25.000Because like a lot of the stuff Mike Lindell put out, I guess, this is what Crowder was saying, some of the counties where he claimed impropriety happened don't even use Dominion voting machines, and Crowder confirmed that.
00:39:35.000Granted, Crowder did his own investigation where he found crazy stuff.
00:40:22.000And you're walking around this small town, the buildings aren't very big, the population's not particularly dense, but you can be armed and everybody, you know, a lot of people typically were.
00:40:30.000Well, until the Redcoats started seizing people's weapons, which, you know, led to part of the, you know, a lot of the revolution, a lot of the sentiment towards it.
00:40:37.000But now look at Chicago, for instance.
00:41:39.000Well, if I have to go into this place... Like, imagine if a private company bought all of the land in Chicago, and then if you wanted to walk into the city, you lost all your constitutional rights.
00:42:30.000What was he doing, and correct me if I'm wrong, or if I'm out of turn in saying so, where was he when they were tearing down statues?
00:42:39.000Where was he when in Wisconsin, Black Lives Matter rioters tore down a statue of Hans Christian Haag, a Civil War hero who was an abolitionist who fought to end slavery and he gave his life doing so.
00:43:53.000The Democratics, card-carrying members of the Democratic Socialists, won leadership positions in Nevada, so the entire staff from the party quit.
00:45:09.000And I can already hear the screams and the squeals of democratic socialists saying, but what about Republicans and the conservatives and the far right?
00:45:20.000What annoys me about the Democratic Socialists is that I align with them pretty hard on foreign policy, and then they'll say something that makes perfect sense, and I'm like, oh wow, this person gets it, and they're a leftist, cool.
00:45:35.000And then I read the rest of their tweets, and I'm like, oh okay, they're crazy though.
00:45:42.000So I saw something on Reddit where it was from Bernie Sanders subreddit and it said, it was basically the meme that was like, you know, Joe Biden's dropping a lot of bombs for someone who owes me $2,000.
00:46:39.000It's like, how are you going to function in society if you're doing things like this?
00:46:42.000But I appreciate the anti-war stuff especially.
00:46:47.000The problem is that weird, creepy, critical theory, identity-based stuff that is just, when I see that stuff, I really just, it looks like, you know, what's, what's that, what's that fabric you use for like when you're moving stuff?
00:47:03.000And it's like, it's just like a bunch of lint mashed together.
00:47:38.000It's part of why I don't like the term anti-war, because I feel like it's just opposing something, rather than focusing on a new structure that war is not a part of.
00:47:47.000You know, like, I don't know, drone delivery of food and water into orbit.
00:47:52.000Yeah, maybe we need to get away from this anti thing, because the opposite of war is not anti-war, it's not war.
00:49:12.000And the worrying thing about it, in my opinion, is that... I mean, dude, I think socialism is bad.
00:49:18.000There's a big difference between social policy and socialism.
00:49:23.000And what they do is they'll, either because a lot of their members are ignorant or because they're willfully manipulating people, they'll say, Denmark is a socialist country and look how well they're doing.
00:49:33.000And then you're like, they're a capitalist system with a welfare structure.
00:49:36.000Socialism is seizing the means of production.
00:49:38.000And they're also much smaller and less populated than we are.
00:49:43.000But so when they say, you know, these countries are socialist and they're not, they're capitalist, and even Denmark said, Bernie, stop calling us socialists, we're not.
00:49:50.000Bernie actually has proposed seizing the means of production.
00:49:53.000He proposed 20% of all corporate shares being held for the employees of the company to receive dividends and bonuses and stuff like that.
00:50:00.000And it's like, oh, okay, that's an interesting idea.
00:50:05.000I think companies should implement that on their own, but it's one step towards we're giving 20% of the company to the people.
00:50:15.000Then eventually, the DSA people, they tell you they're social Democrats.
00:50:20.000Social Democrats are the people who are like, you choose what you buy, you choose, you know, where you work, you choose where you go to school, you save your money, you buy the things you like, but you'll be taxed a lot for healthcare, for military, for police, for fire.
00:51:14.000And it led to people getting extremely angry, which leads to right-wing populism and left-wing populism.
00:51:21.000These two tribes are further away than the Uniparty was.
00:51:25.000And if the establishment Dems and Republicans actually listened to the people and actually worked on things, say not bailing out big banks, like stopping them from this mass conglomeration of these banks, which made them too big to fail, which led to Occupy Wall Street, which leads to riots, and then you get a left and right version of populism.
00:51:45.000I think Trump has already taken over the Republican Party.
00:53:42.000It is funny, but I do think that if you end up with, and I mean it somewhat facetiously, the party of Antifa and the party of the Proud Boys, Like they're going to start boxing each other.
00:53:51.000The problem is Bernie, I think the Democrats should be the party of Bernie and probably things would be going a lot smoother if it was, but the media was totally against it.
00:54:01.000That this established like warmongering community wanted Hillary in and they wanted Biden in.
00:54:06.000It's it's the way I see it is you've got this, you know, body of water flowing and instead they're trying to dam the river with sheer force immediately to stop the tide of Bernie Sanders.
00:54:18.000Instead, they could have, you know, used controls to shift the flow and have some control over what was going on.
00:54:26.000I legitimately believe they fortified the election against Bernie.
00:55:50.000In October of 2019, Pennsylvania changed the voting rules for mail-in voting.
00:55:56.000So that's like the rules were changed and there's a legal challenge as to whether or not they were allowed to do it that never got resolved.
00:56:02.000So call it what you want, but fortifying basically means people who supported Joe Biden fortified the things that would give Joe Biden the win.
00:56:12.000So we actually had Sean Parnell on the show.
00:56:15.000And he was talking about mail-in voting, and I said, do you think they're doing this, you know, to like, give them an advantage?
00:56:22.000And he said, they're doing these things because they think it will help them win.
00:57:15.000And so when you control the corporate press, I mean, we're just talking about this.
00:57:19.000When you can lie and falsely frame things, use clever tactics, and regular people who don't pay attention are sitting in, like, their workroom, and they see on TV something where it's like, Donald Trump, you know, kicked a puppy in the face!
00:57:30.000And it's clearly false, but they passively hear it.
00:57:34.000And then one day, there's, like, this guy, and he's like, I'm not gonna vote for Trump.
00:57:41.000They push the fake news, the manipulation, the lies, and the narrative.
00:57:45.000Fortify really is, I think, a good word for it.
00:57:47.000Because I think one of the things I don't like about this idea that anybody really got cheated is just that I don't think the people who control all the corporations, the people who control massive multinational corporations, people like Zuckerberg, they don't need to, like, sneak into the backroom.
00:58:02.000They need only drop a million bucks in the right direction.
00:58:07.000Another area where I really agree with the left is Citizens United is bad.
00:58:14.000I don't like the idea that people can spend endless amounts of money on super PACs and PACs.
00:58:18.000I don't like the idea that George Soros or the Mercers or the Koch brothers or Mackenzie Bezos can be like, we're billionaires, so we can dictate the flow of information.
00:58:25.000I don't like the idea that Michael Bloomberg goes and dumps hundreds of millions of dollars across the country to guarantee that progressives and Democrats win.
00:58:46.000So what happens when you're Tom Steyer and you're like, okay, I can only give $2,300, but I can give $2,300 to literally every single progressive running?
00:58:54.000Well, that's clearly going to have a major impact.
00:59:08.000Theoretically, donate $2,300 to a candidate and then make a commercial supporting the candidate and get the candidate to say, I support this message at the end of it.
00:59:17.000And then that money that I spent on the commercial would not count towards the $2,300?
00:59:59.000I have this big show, and I can talk about why Tulsi Gabbard is so great, giving her massive press and attention, but you, Ian, you know, you don't have that show, so you don't get to do that.
01:00:10.000That's why Citizens United basically stood, because it's like, well, it's not fair that someone who has access to the media gets to dictate and other people don't.
01:00:20.000I was reading a little bit about it goes back to like the I think the 1800s when they used to kind of keep money out of politics like explicitly they were really anti like they didn't want to pay.
01:00:28.000I think Ben Franklin didn't want to pay Congress people at all.
01:00:31.000But one guy was running for I think president and was like, why can't I use my own money to pay for my I want to take the train around the country and spend all my money.
01:00:39.000And they were like, yeah, that's a good point.
01:00:49.000I've talked to a lot of people about this.
01:00:50.000I don't like the idea that big billionaires can just dump money and they can just shut everybody down.
01:00:56.000But the problem is, like I mentioned, so what?
01:01:00.000Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks will have access to all of these millions of people to tell them what to think, and no one can challenge that.
01:01:08.000Because even right now, you can have people pool their money together to buy a commercial, and that's what a lot of political action committees do.
01:02:22.000So it's an issue of experience, knowledge, and wisdom.
01:02:26.000And I am being, I don't want to say stereotypical, but I think it's fair to say that somebody who is 20 is typically going to have more life experience than a 16-year-old.
01:04:30.000But I mean, the problem is, it was really interesting when we talked to Ben Stewart about Strauss' High Generational Theory.
01:04:34.000Because he said the book basically points out when all of these boomers are eligible to collect Social Security, there's going to be a crisis.
01:04:41.000Because where's our money going to come from?
01:06:12.000I was gloating a little bit when he got cancelled, to be honest.
01:06:15.000Everybody was like, Cassandra, no, we need you on our side for this.
01:06:18.000You're like pro-free speech, and I'm like, yeah, but he was like one of the original cancellers.
01:06:24.000It's true, but I will say, he was definitely a war propagandist.
01:06:28.000When we talked with Michael Malice about this, and he made good points about World War I, that it was like, seriously, what was the main point?
01:08:03.000Right. But the issue wasn't it wasn't clear cut back then because
01:08:07.000there were a half million people who joined the America First Committee,
01:08:10.000which was opposition to And what Dr. Seuss was fighting was the isolationist views of Americans, because a lot of Americans were isolationists after World War I. They were still grieving people.
01:08:24.000They were still suffering effects of having been in the war.
01:08:28.000They didn't want to go into another war.
01:08:30.000And so they had to make it seem like all these people were racist and And that's what Dr. Seuss did.
01:08:35.000Yeah, and that's exactly what they do now.
01:08:46.000I mean, it's the same stuff that they use now.
01:08:48.000It literally is the same thing that they do to anti-war people now, or, you know, pro-peace people now.
01:08:54.000I'll tell you though, there's a real challenge with, in my opinion, with World War II, because as much as I think what we're doing in the Middle East is complete garbage and trash, and I love the Abraham Accords.
01:09:05.000If we didn't intervene in World War II, a strong possibility, I guess it's fairly likely to say, Nazis would have won.
01:09:13.000And then all of these horrifying things they were doing would have persisted.
01:09:18.000And so, with that in mind, I look at what China is doing now, and I feel much the same way.
01:09:23.000But again, see, here's the thing, here's the real test.
01:09:25.000As much as I can be like, well, look, I wasn't alive during World War II, I can certainly understand why it was good that we went in and stormed the beaches of Normandy, D-Day, surrounded Germany, shut down Hitler.
01:09:38.000Now I look at China and I'm like, it's real now.
01:09:41.000It's not looking back in a history book.
01:09:43.000Now there's actually a question of, Tim, are you saying you would support a military intervention into China to stop their concentration camps?
01:09:51.000Because what I think people need to realize is we can look back at what happened in World War II and think it's so easy to make that choice because we know we won.
01:09:58.000Now we're looking at China, and we're looking at the concentration camps, and there's the real consideration of, we don't know what will happen.
01:10:03.000It could be all-out nuclear annihilation between everybody.
01:10:07.000But how do we stop those concentration camps?
01:10:09.000There's always unintended consequences of even a good-intentioned intervention.
01:11:21.000Well, I think, yeah, I agree, especially with all these other countries, Libya, especially.
01:11:25.000Like, man, did we really... I hate saying we, the United States really screwed that up.
01:11:30.000Hillary Clinton, we came, we saw, he died.
01:11:33.000Yeah, Sidney Blumenthal, her friend, Sid, according to Hillary, with his Osprey Global Solutions weapons manufacturing company to arm the new American-backed rebellion.
01:11:43.000Like, just total arms running to make money, a profiteer off this war.
01:12:07.000And the first thing I'll say is, Where is any politician to be screaming in the Senate chamber, the United States should cut off business with China while they're operating concentration camps?
01:12:37.000But isn't it better that we go from an economic approach and say, we're not going to start a conflict where we're killing each other, but you have to stop concentration camps?
01:12:44.000I mean, economic warfare will lead to boots on the ground.
01:13:47.000A lot of anti-war people do point out, especially like anti-war left says, people get really focused on China and these concentration camps.
01:13:54.000Like, why aren't you talking about what's going on in, like, Nigeria and things like that?
01:13:58.000We only care what the media and our government want us to care about.
01:14:02.000It's the same reason people cared so much about Venezuela.
01:14:26.000We need to fix our problems before we try and save the whole world.
01:14:29.000They tell us that every day on a plane, you know, every time you fly, secure your mask before securing the mask of those sitting next to you.
01:14:35.000Take the plank out of your own eye before trying to remove the mote of dust out of your friends.
01:14:43.000I mean, if we if we it's remarkable to me that we are a country that in the midst of a pandemic with a massive economic collapse, we gave away like hundreds of hundreds of millions of dollars to foreign countries.
01:14:54.000It's like, yo, a bunch of people are like out of work and going to be evicted.
01:15:35.000dollars being sent to these foreign countries, they get spent on American stuff.
01:15:40.000So instead of giving money to an American citizen, they give money to a foreign government who then contracts and says, now do work for us, to the American citizen.
01:16:34.000Or maybe it's like some software manufacturing or service in America.
01:16:38.000So now here you are as the American citizen, being told you have to do work for, say, you know, like Yemen, because they receive, you know, military aid or something.
01:16:46.000And you're like, I'm so desperate for work, my government didn't give me a stimulus check.
01:16:50.000And then you hear some foreign corporation is hiring people to do a certain job, and you're like, oh, please give me work.
01:16:55.000The government gave your money away to someone else, and then told you to go work for them.
01:17:00.000Because that's what they'll do with that money.
01:17:03.000Admittedly, I think they'll mostly buy oil with it, because the petrodollar, if they want to, you know, buy oil, they've got to trade in that.
01:17:08.000But there are a lot of, like, what can you really do with U.S.
01:17:15.000And some, many countries actually will accept dollars because it is valuable.
01:17:20.000But for the most part, dollars are good in America with American citizens to buy goods from Americans and services from Americans.
01:17:26.000So that money being given away basically just means you will do work For other countries, while your business, your livelihood was completely destroyed by these politicians.
01:18:25.000I mean, look, that's why I'm saying it's going to get real interesting with the Democrats quitting and the Democratic Socialists moving in.
01:18:32.000Left and right populists disagreeing a lot.
01:18:34.000Many of them absolutely hate and despise each other.
01:18:37.000But they all really hate the establishment, and they all are basically screaming, That's a lot of missiles you're firing off for somebody who owes me $2,000!
01:18:48.000The establishment has lost control of this, so there's some optimism in that, whereas perhaps this leads to the corrupt establishment falling apart and then a new wave of people who actually care about the people come in.
01:19:02.000But then there's concern that it leads to just chaos, you know, and things are gonna get really, really bad.
01:19:07.000Like we were talking with Ben Stewart about how 2028 is supposed to be the end of the winter period, where we're in absolute chaos and conflict.
01:19:15.000The end of the last conflict was the end of World War II.
01:19:17.000So quite literally, up until the point where people are killing each other and bombs are dropping and all this crazy stuff's going on, Dresden's happening.
01:19:23.000Then finally, when we declare we win, that was the start of the spring.
01:19:28.000So we're supposed to be getting into the worst of it in the next seven years.
01:19:34.000Like the reason we, we went in, well, I guess it was, it was when Hawaii got bombed, when Pearl Harbor got bombed, but really when Hitler invaded Poland is when the world was like, Oh, whoops.
01:19:46.000And went and declared war on Germany, like Britain, France, they all declared war on Germany after they invaded.
01:19:50.000So if China were to, I know there, didn't Britain do nothing until they got blitzkrieg or something?
01:20:04.000And then Hitler, they gave him the Sudetenland, which was part of Poland that used to be Germany before the Treaty of Versailles, World War I, actually took part of Germany and gave it to Poland.
01:20:13.000Apparently the Polish government was executing Germans.
01:20:15.000They were like, this is Polish land now.
01:20:37.000Yeah, France had this Maginot Line, this giant defensive line, prepared this impenetrable line, but they didn't put it through the forest of the Ardennes.
01:20:43.000They were like, they can't get through there.
01:20:54.000Yeah, if we truly, like, it's a good point you were saying about unexpected consequences.
01:20:59.000If right now we all got, you know, righteously indignant and said we must stop the concentration camps in China, and then all of a sudden Xi Jinping is flying around in a Gundam wing, like full mech suit, with like a giant sword, and we're like...
01:21:13.000We don't know what kind of weapons they're using, cyber attacks.
01:21:17.000Many people believe, and I'm not going to pretend to know all this stuff, but there's something called industrial control systems.
01:21:23.000And I talked to a lot of people who believe all the governments basically are in a Mexican standoff where they've infected the industrial control systems of other countries and could flick a switch and just take out all their water pumps and their oil refineries and electrical grid instantly.
01:22:03.000So build a double Faraday cage in your basement, store all your goods.
01:22:08.000So you build a Faraday cage and then you put a microwave in it and then you put your stuff in the microwave because microwaves are also a Faraday cage.
01:22:44.000But you might be able to build solid-state batteries that could, like, resist EMP.
01:22:48.000They just had the first, like, breakthrough with a solid-state battery.
01:22:51.000Like, literally just happened a year ago or something.
01:22:54.000They've got these nuclear batteries where they store nuclear waste in glass, carbon glass, and it just produces massive amounts of, like, I don't know what kind of heat energy.
01:23:43.000The bombs we dropped on Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the bombs we have today are, I believe, 1,250 times more powerful than the bombs we actually used.
01:23:55.000So when you see, you know, the footage of these tests or whatever, you have no idea What one ICBM can do, because we've never actually seen it used on a civilian population.
01:24:07.000We've seen the first, I think, the atomic bomb that we used was a gravity bomb.
01:24:14.000Now we have intercontinental ballistic missiles.
01:24:16.000The Multiple Independently Targeting Reentry Vehicle, the MIRV.
01:24:20.000It goes up into the stratosphere and then drops eight to twelve warheads and then peppers just...
01:24:25.000We might get some righteous indignation and we're like, we must end what's going on in China.
01:24:28.000Nuclear submarines that we don't know are all around our coast right now
01:24:32.000Yeah, the Chinese nuclear submarines that are just up and down the west coast that we don't can't detect don't mess
01:24:36.000So we we might get some, you know, righteous indignation and we're like we must end what's going on in China
01:24:41.000And like I said, I know it's silly to say Xi Jinping in a giant Gundam wing mobile suit or whatever
01:24:45.000But they might come out with you know, sonic weapons EMP weapons
01:24:50.000Uh, you know, we heard about that story about the Havana Syndrome, where they're using some kind of directed energy weapon to, like, make people... This is scary stuff.
01:24:58.000So I don't know if this is confirmed now, wasn't it?
01:24:59.000Like, didn't they confirm some kind of weapon?
01:25:02.000They didn't confirm some kind of weapon.
01:25:03.000I think they thought it was like some kind of low level ultrasonic frequency.
01:25:17.000When I was an audio engineer, I remember we had a huge long conversation with another producer about how certain frequencies can make you lose control of your bowels and stuff.
01:25:39.000So when I was working at Vice, one of the stories we were working on was this guy who specializes in directed energy weapons.
01:25:46.000And we never ended up doing the story because access was always a challenge.
01:25:49.000But what people think about directed energy weapons is they assume it's like you're holding a plasma blaster, or like a blaster from Star Wars.
01:26:15.000Have you guys seen the movie Kick-Ass 2?
01:26:16.000She has the sick stick, where when she pokes the girls with it, they start vomiting and crapping their pants.
01:26:22.000Well, so there's actually... So they claim, we didn't test them out, but it's shaped like a gun, but it's a round strobe light, a bunch of LEDs in different colors, that when you point it at someone and flash, it makes them physically nauseous, and if you hold it for, I think, like 10 seconds, they'll start throwing up.
01:26:39.000So they were pitched as crowd control weapons, I don't know if they use them, or I don't know if it's legit.
01:26:45.000There's also the Dazzler, which is a directed energy weapon.
01:26:47.000It's a high-powered laser, and what you do is you hold it in someone's face and you click it, and it blinds them for 30 seconds.
01:26:54.000So it's a high-powered laser, and the way it was described to me is like, you know when you look at a bright light, and then you see there's like a spot there for a second?
01:27:02.000Imagine if your entire field of vision was that, and all you could see was that weird spot, but it was everything.
01:28:08.000And I do believe that... Look, I think China is absolutely fanning the flames of the culture war, because we are on the verge of ripping each other's throats off in this country.
01:28:17.000We had an article from the Epoch Times saying secession, like it's time to talk about legitimate separation of the states.
01:28:24.000You've got, I mean, Luke and Michael Mouse on the show have been like, maybe we need a peaceful divorce
01:28:57.000It is like, you know, you know, you know, I mentioned, I mentioned a couple, like last week, a lot of people like, uh, Bill Maher, man, does he get it wrong?
01:29:05.000He was like, we can't have a civil war.
01:30:05.000If right now we're hearing from Democrats, yeah, well, if Republican states leave, then they're going to suffer because their blue states subsidize the red states.
01:30:13.000And then I see other Republicans going, okay.
01:30:19.000So if right now, I think if you actually had a legitimate like question between the factions, like an Antifa leftist or an establishment Democrat, how would you feel if a red state decided to leave the union?
01:31:00.000Yes, the kleptocracy will steal the seat of governor and replace someone new there.
01:31:06.000I think, you know, there, uh, there was a poll where they asked about Texas secession.
01:31:10.000When, because you have, you know, Ellen West endorsed this bill, it's going to legislation that will actually allow them to vote on secession.
01:31:17.000Most people's like 65% said no, they can't secede, but it was like 25 or so percent or more said they should.
01:31:25.000And there's a small fraction saying like, I don't know.
01:31:28.000But I think, as things carry on, like, if we get to the point, 2024, Donald Trump wins, right?
01:31:34.000All of a sudden, you're gonna have all of the blue states being like, yeah, that secession stuff, like, we're back on board with that.
01:31:39.000And then the Republican states are gonna say, deal.
01:31:43.000I can see if China started a splinter like that, if, like, different areas of China started to go independent, that would be, like, maybe the end of the Communist Party.
01:31:51.000And there would be a lot more willingness to maybe become militarily active against China.
01:32:00.000So I would imagine if it happened in the U.S., the same thing.
01:32:01.000People would think about that about the U.S.
01:32:23.000There's a lot of bad things for them, for sure.
01:32:25.000I would love to get a Soviet expert in here to talk about the fall of the Soviet Union, because it kind of just happened peacefully.
01:32:32.000And I tried to watch a documentary and it's very confusing.
01:32:34.000I think a lot of it happened behind the scenes and corporations were involved, but it was peaceful.
01:32:39.000It was the dissolution of the Soviet Union, like the most dangerous communist threat the world had ever seen up to that point.
01:32:45.000Maybe the most dangerous threat the world had ever seen, maybe besides the Romans up to that point, or the US, depending on who you're asking.
01:35:42.000and uh yeah a lot of stuff to come so uh thank you all so much for i mean we already have a whole bunch of super chats for everybody how you know giving stuff it's presumably for my birthday because they all say happy birthday you filthy animal you look good for 40 and things like that but uh thank you guys so much for the birthday wishes and the like button smashing everybody's smashing the like button now see normally on the show i'm like smash the like button like A hundred people will do it.
01:36:03.000Now it's like a thousand jumped instantly.
01:36:18.000You know, what's crazy is like when, like I'm 35 and I'm thinking back to like my twenties and my teens and I'm like, it really is interesting how when I was like, I'm like, man, I've been skating for like 22, I've been skateboarding for like 22 years.
01:40:40.000Because in the movie, awesome movie, Samuel L. Jackson plays a villain who says that humans, he says humans are like a virus and the planet is warming.
01:40:53.000I just find it really interesting that you have that.
01:40:56.000And so the villain basically decides he wants to cull human beings and only the chosen elites will be allowed to survive to heal the planet.
01:41:12.000So now we have the World Economic Forum saying the world is healing while quite literally a pandemic decimates, you know, populations around the world and destroys people's lives.
01:41:40.000The world is on fire and about to end and we must take dramatic action.
01:41:44.000Like, what if we are leading ourselves to ultimate destruction?
01:41:47.000And he said, it's a good question I think about every day, you know, it's a challenge.
01:41:51.000But I guess if you don't believe in the authoritarianism of these liars and kleptocrats, people who we have caught lying and manipulating us, then we have to just defend freedom, liberty for the individual.
01:42:29.000So the other day, I put out a pile of peanuts.
01:42:33.000And because I saw there was an area where, like we have a bunch of birds and there were some squirrels.
01:42:37.000And I was like, I'll put out a big pile of peanuts and then, you know, let the animals just kind of have at it.
01:42:41.000And then I noticed the squirrels and the crows were starting to go at it.
01:42:45.000So first the crows came down, started eating, and then they would leave.
01:42:47.000Then the squirrels came out and started grabbing peanuts and running away.
01:42:50.000But then when both the crows and the squirrels were there, they started doing this shuffle back and forth where they're like coming at each other.
01:42:55.000And then like, if the squirrel would get too close to the pile, the crow would jump at it.
01:42:58.000But then the crow couldn't pick up a peanut in time because a squirrel would lunge at it.
01:43:36.000So we got these, um, they're like little houses.
01:43:39.000They're like legit little houses for chickens to like walk into and do their chicken thing.
01:43:44.000And, uh, so it's like, we have like, I think there's three, there's like two or three little chicken houses and then like one chicken community center.
01:43:52.000And so, you know, we're going to set it up and then we're going to double layer protect it from predators.
01:43:57.000And then we're gonna have a little chicken city.
01:44:03.000No, I think it's a good idea I do think it's a good idea for us to get a computer and set up the live chicken city camp You'll have one chicken city cam like big one and then you'll have one in the house so they can see the house cam when they sleep I watch the weirdest stuff on YouTube.
01:44:22.000I like to watch people harvesting carrots Oh I'm like, oh, is it going to be a big one or is it a little one?
01:44:28.000Like, I watch gardening channels all day.
01:45:09.000Might be tough because it might not be enough, excuse me, enough space.
01:45:12.000We'll name them and then we'll do real world Chicken City.
01:45:16.000And then we'll do like, we can film fake little, you know, confessionals where the chicken's like, you know, in a little chair at the camera.
01:45:23.000And then we'll do funny little things.
01:45:24.000But then once we have that, then people who watch Chicken City drama can narrate what's happening to themselves.
01:45:31.000Like, oh, you know, like Sharon just pecked at Janice.
01:45:35.000Like she's mad because Janice is trying to take Take the protein layer, and she knows, you know, and it'll be really funny.
01:45:59.000You can also put string going above any fencing that you have and the hawks and stuff will see it and know not to go in it because their wingspans are too big.
01:46:42.000We're gonna have to probably hire on, like, a one-time chicken whisperer who can, like, tell us, like, here's how you set up the food and the water, and here's how you keep it clean, and here's what you should buy, and here's what you set up.
01:46:58.000Who can come in and, like... I do understand.
01:46:59.000When the chickens are like angry or whatever and they, you know, pecking at us, they can like whisper the coos and the chickens would like fall in line and then start calling orders.
01:47:06.000Did you ever see that Chi Master that would go up to like the bison and do this and they would all lay down one by one?
01:49:05.000Yep, we watched some real crazy stuff go down.
01:49:09.000It was, it was surreal driving down Florissant, West Florissant, when all of the buildings were set on fire.
01:49:14.000And you're in, people don't realize, man, how much, like, if you ever go to a bonfire, you probably will get it, but a lot of people don't get this.
01:49:21.000You're hundreds of feet away from this building that's just engulfed in flames.
01:49:24.000And it feels like the fire is right at your face.
01:49:27.000Yeah, the heat output is exponential of a fire.
01:49:29.000I think it's hotter in the middle, the more surface area.
01:49:32.000So that, that's a weird phenomenon if you're not familiar with it.
01:49:35.000And people don't realize you get sunburned, you know?
01:49:38.000So I was with Luke, we were in Belfast during bonfire night or whatever, and they have like, how tall are these things, like dozens of feet tall or like 50 to 100 feet or some ridiculous number, and this huge fire is raging, it burns into the ground, and you're standing far away, and it's a white blinding light, and you can feel the heat, and it's like, You point a camera at it, and it just, like, blows the camera out.
01:51:20.000So I already mentioned, we're planning on doing a Crime, Cults, Mysteries, and Paranormal podcast.
01:51:25.000So it's gonna be, I don't know, it's like, it's like these subject matters are kind of just like something about like a darkness around the world, like, you know.
01:51:40.000Cause like everybody's gotten every name ever, you know, reminds me of like Saturday Night Live when they were like, I don't actually, I can't tell the joke because I think YouTube wouldn't allow it, but they basically made a joke about how there's no domains left.
01:51:53.000And so it was a really awful domain for a business.
01:53:15.000That's how long, okay, so that's how long it takes me to judge before I should click over, because I'm the one that pushes the button that ends the show.
01:53:21.000So let's try to give it a couple seconds.
01:53:49.000I think Xuan had made a joke about it, where she was like, men used to look like this, and then she points to Hasan, and it's like him with his shirt off, taking a picture in the mirror.
01:53:59.000And then she's like, now they look like this, and it's crowded, just like a woman.
01:56:40.000Like, there was that guy who did a parody of, like, a CPAC speech the other day, and he's a leftist, and I thought it was the funniest thing I've ever seen.
01:56:47.000I was cracking up, and it's really corny, but, like, it was so good.
01:57:10.000All right, let's see what we got here.
01:57:12.000Finecastle says, hey Tim, long time lurker, turned member here.
01:57:15.000I watched a video on Gamergate and the person in it suggested that we need a follow-up to it, given the current climate in gaming journalism thoughts.
01:57:22.000The culture war, some say Gamergate was the first major battle in the culture war.
01:58:51.000I remember I was reading about when she joined Star Trek, and she apparently reached out to the producer, or she told her agent, like, get me on Star Trek!
01:58:57.000And they were like, no, no, no, you don't want to be on this show.
01:59:27.000Which resulted in the Klingons never signing a peace treaty with I can't believe I'm forgetting the Kittimer Accords.
01:59:35.000She's never signing the Kittimer Accords, and Guinan was the one because she's like an age-old being who realized the time shift, the timeline shifted, and then helped put it back to normal.
01:59:54.000So, like, for those that aren't familiar, basically, the Klingons and the Federation were at war.
01:59:59.000In this timeline where they never signed the peace treaty, the Khitomer Accords, essentially, the Federation's on the verge of being wiped out.
02:00:04.000Humanity is going to be totally destroyed.
02:00:06.000But what had happened in the original Star Trek timeline, because the Klingons were bad guys in the original series, is that the Federation answered a distress signal because another alien race, the Romulans, I believe, were wiping out a colony of, like, women, children, and families.
02:00:20.000And a Federation ship sacrificed itself trying to save the Klingons, which the Klingons are very much about honor and power and pride and all that stuff, and they were like, it was very honorable what you did, and that led to this peace treaty.
02:01:38.000And then maybe, you know, I'm going to be like Abe Simpson from that episode where he's like, I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was.
02:03:04.000There was this crazy thing I saw on Reddit where it was like, apparently there's a photo of some little kid when he was like five and behind him in the background, there's like a little girl playing.
02:03:13.000And then like two decades later, they ended up meeting.
02:03:16.000And then it wasn't until like they ended up getting married and it wasn't until they were going through like family albums that they were like, Hey, you know, I was there too.
02:03:23.000And then they looked and they have photos.
02:04:32.000But so like in core skateboarding culture, like you could be making a six figure salary as a skateboarder and they don't consider you pro until you get like a signature board.
02:04:49.000I own like a school where we teach people how to skate and we film videos and then we sell them to families.
02:04:54.000It's like, so professionally I skateboard and produce content, but you're not jumping off buildings and winning, you know, going to the Olympics or the X games or something, you know?
