Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Chicago Mayor Says The Unvaxxed TIME IS UP w-Jack Murphy

00:00:00.000 Merry Christmas everybody.

00:00:13.000 This is our last show for the week.

00:00:16.000 Nobody's working.

00:00:18.000 There's nobody sitting next to me.

00:00:19.000 Ian's gone, of all people.

00:00:21.000 Ian's the guy who wakes up at 7 p.m.

00:00:24.000 for an 8 p.m.

00:00:25.000 show, and then he shows up in his pajamas.

00:00:27.000 And even this guy is out for family.

00:00:29.000 Well, I guess actually that makes sense.

00:00:30.000 Yeah, that makes sense.

00:00:31.000 We miss him, though.

00:00:32.000 Luke left today because Luke's got a Polish mom. 1.00

00:00:35.000 And I'll tell you what, that's what he said!

00:00:39.000 Because he's like, Polish mothers are very much like, you gotta be back early, you know what I mean? 1.00

00:00:42.000 Oh, I gotcha.

00:00:43.000 Yeah, but Jack Murphy's hanging out.

00:00:44.000 Hey, I'm here.

00:00:45.000 Good to be here.

00:00:46.000 My friend Matt's gonna be here a little bit later.

00:00:48.000 It's gonna be a lot of fun.

00:00:49.000 Good to see everybody.

00:00:51.000 There's a lot of people who have no idea what that means.

00:00:53.000 I know, it does.

00:00:54.000 I'm Jack Murphy.

00:00:55.000 Follow me on Twitter at Jack Murphy Live on YouTube.

00:00:57.000 Jack Murphy Live.

00:00:58.000 Yeah, there's news.

00:01:01.000 They're rolling out all these vaccine mandates right before Christmas when no one's paying attention.

00:01:05.000 And that's one of the most nefarious things.

00:01:07.000 DC announces it.

00:01:07.000 Boston announced it.

00:01:08.000 Chicago announces it.

00:01:09.000 And they're doing it just after the new year.

00:01:12.000 And I think a lot of people are going to comply.

00:01:14.000 So we'll talk about all that stuff.

00:01:16.000 We'll talk about Joe Biden.

00:01:18.000 I wanna talk about the story with Elon Musk.

00:01:19.000 He's saying that he is paying more taxes than anyone in history, which is effectively defanging a lot of these leftist arguments against him.

00:01:27.000 And then we've got some, I don't know.

00:01:29.000 I gotta be honest with you guys.

00:01:30.000 Nobody's working right now.

00:01:32.000 So we've got stories on TimCast.com, which we're gonna talk about.

00:01:35.000 And then for the most part, man, everybody is zoned out.

00:01:38.000 People are like, I don't wanna talk about this stuff.

00:01:39.000 I don't wanna listen.

00:01:40.000 I wanna go watch The Matrix.

00:01:42.000 Well, I'll tell you what I did today.

00:01:43.000 I watched The Matrix, and we have a review because I think The Matrix Resurrections is conservative propaganda.

00:01:48.000 And I'm only half-joking when I say that.

00:01:51.000 I actually think they have a very powerful kind of traditional message in it, which is interesting.

00:01:56.000 And there's also, like, the movie almost mocks the left, but I think they're serious with it.

00:02:03.000 It's kind of like how Girlbusters was, you know?

00:02:05.000 They're like, this is what we really believe, and you're like, what, really?

00:02:07.000 And then they have this like, I don't want to spoil too much.

00:02:09.000 I'm not gonna spoil too much, but we'll talk about it later on the show.

00:02:12.000 And then, you know, whatever, we'll talk about Joe Biden or something.

00:02:14.000 He wants to rematch Trump.

00:02:16.000 What's going on, man?

00:02:16.000 Welcome back.

00:02:17.000 Thanks, man.

00:02:18.000 Good to be here.

00:02:19.000 On my way up, I'm like reading about DC VAX mandates.

00:02:23.000 So I'm sort of just accepting the fact that I'm never going to be able to go out to eat or to the movies.

00:02:29.000 Or to a concert, or have a drink, or anything ever again in D.C.

00:02:32.000 And then I hear in Montgomery County, the county just adjacent to D.C.

00:02:36.000 is doing the same thing.

00:02:37.000 In Maryland.

00:02:38.000 Yep, in Maryland.

00:02:39.000 Man.

00:02:39.000 Because they couldn't do it statewide because where we are in Western Maryland has already offered up secession.

00:02:45.000 Yeah.

00:02:46.000 Yeah, so these westernmost counties have said like, West Virginia!

00:02:48.000 We would gladly become West Virginia, please.

00:02:51.000 Washington County and a few others.

00:02:53.000 I think it's happened more than once.

00:02:55.000 They write letters and they're like, please take us West Virginia.

00:02:58.000 There's a dude over here who's got a big sign that says Swamp 40 miles that way and like, wear your boots.

00:03:04.000 And there's like a big Trump sign and stuff like that.

00:03:06.000 So we'll get all that stuff.

00:03:06.000 We also got Lydia hanging out.

00:03:07.000 It's just the three of us.

00:03:08.000 I am also here in the corner pushing buttons.

00:03:10.000 I did not take off tonight.

00:03:11.000 I'm happy to be here with you guys and Jack and Tim.

00:03:13.000 It's going to be, I think it's going to be perfectly animate, even though we have fewer people here.

00:03:17.000 So I'm stoked.

00:03:18.000 Oh, this is like the very first time I was ever on the show.

00:03:20.000 Oh yeah, there's only a few of us.

00:03:21.000 Right, right, right.

00:03:21.000 The first time you came on, just us hanging out.

00:03:24.000 No Luke, no... That was like February 2020.

00:03:27.000 Yeah, man, just before the world ended.

00:03:30.000 That's right.

00:03:31.000 Well, we got a lot to talk about.

00:03:32.000 Before we get started, we've got an awesome sponsor.

00:03:34.000 This is Biotrust's Keto Elevate C8 MCT oil powder.

00:03:39.000 We shout these guys out all the time.

00:03:41.000 I love this stuff.

00:03:41.000 I've been doing keto now.

00:03:43.000 I would say like...

00:03:45.000 How long has it been?

00:03:45.000 Four or five months?

00:03:46.000 It's been a while.

00:03:47.000 It's been really great for me.

00:03:48.000 I've lost a decent amount of weight.

00:03:50.000 I love putting this stuff in my coffee.

00:03:52.000 It kind of makes it creamy.

00:03:53.000 It's like coffee creamer almost.

00:03:54.000 It is medium chain triglycerides, which is perfect for you when you need energy.

00:03:59.000 I'll admit, You know, initially, when I wasn't getting sugar in the morning when I cut that stuff out, I was feeling it.

00:04:06.000 I was feeling sluggish.

00:04:06.000 I started adding this stuff to my coffee.

00:04:08.000 I started adding more fats and avocados, you know, later on for lunch and stuff.

00:04:11.000 I started feeling better and better and better, but it happened almost instantly.

00:04:33.000 I've been skating more, and since starting Keto several months ago, I just feel like a million bucks.

00:04:39.000 I'm not even, I'm not exaggerating.

00:04:41.000 I've just been feeling better, I've been skating better, and the weird thing was, and this should be fairly obvious, when there was like, I think it was, we did a little party, And there was some, you know, sugar and people are like, you can have a cheat day, it's no big deal.

00:04:52.000 The next day it was like being smacked in the face with a 2x4. 1.00

00:04:55.000 And I'm like, dude, I'm not doing that again.

00:05:31.000 Your membership is what sustains us.

00:05:33.000 The journalists we have, I did a check today, we have 31 employees.

00:05:37.000 I'm very, I'm surprised by that.

00:05:40.000 We had a holiday party, and I'm like, who are all these people in my house?

00:05:43.000 Isn't it crazy?

00:05:43.000 And I know who they are and what they do, and I'm like, man, we got a lot of people working here.

00:05:49.000 But I'll tell you this, most of the people who are working here, they're doing editorial stuff, they're doing journalism, they're doing fact-checking, and then we have a couple other shows, and it really is about expanding and doing more work and making sure that you as members are helping us to make sure we build a powerful foundation and I mean, look, I'll just say it for better or for worse.

00:06:09.000 Become the mainstream press.

00:06:11.000 Become the dominant, you know, media institutions.

00:06:15.000 And maybe at some point we will have to be supplanted by someone else, but for the time being the establishment is broken and that's what we seek to challenge, and with your help we will do it.

00:06:23.000 So smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, and I know there's already people putting in a bunch of super chats.

00:06:29.000 And they're saying that, you know, we've got to read them because there was an issue with Jack last week on Elijah and Sidney Watson's show.

00:06:37.000 And look, I'll say first and foremost, we're not a drama channel.

00:06:41.000 We don't do drama.

00:06:43.000 You know, I understand that something happened and everybody's super chatting and expecting me to read something.

00:06:47.000 But I will say, We will address it.

00:06:49.000 We will read your superchats.

00:06:51.000 By all means, superchat.

00:06:53.000 But we don't do, um, silliness.

00:06:56.000 Like, if you have legitimate questions and legitimate conversation to be had that will move things forward, definitely we'll be into it.

00:07:01.000 If you're posting memes and jokes and, like, having a laugh or whatever, we'll read one or two maybe, but I'm not gonna read for half an hour because you guys want to make, you know, jokes or whatever.

00:07:11.000 Like, I mean, I'm not trying to be a dick or anything.

00:07:13.000 The goal of the show has always been can we like maximize the conversation and get the best ideas across as possible.

00:07:19.000 And I think that's why we get so many super chats because people are usually offering up really good questions and helping us have that conversation.

00:07:25.000 So I just try to keep, I try to stay out of the weeds.

00:07:30.000 There are a lot of YouTubers They talk about me all day.

00:07:33.000 They're like, oh, Dimple did this, Dimple did that, and you know, the Young Turks did it recently, and I'm like, I don't, I don't, I'd rather not do that.

00:07:39.000 I'd rather talk about the things that are impacting our lives, the things that are causing us strife, the things we need to overcome, what we can do to improve ourselves, and typically, things that just I feel like are important, worth talking about.

00:07:51.000 So we'll, we'll, we'll address it simply because I think it, you know, should be because, you know, people are asking for it, but I will say for the most part, Don't expect we're going to have some ridiculous, I don't know, joke fest where we just make fun of people or anything like that.

00:08:03.000 But at any rate, if you want to get your Super Chats in, by all means, you're free to do so.

00:08:07.000 And let's just read the news, man.

00:08:09.000 Let's do it.

00:08:10.000 We got the story from TimCast.com.

00:08:14.000 Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot warns unvaccinated residents your time is up.

00:08:18.000 She said it just like that, too.

00:08:20.000 She said we didn't want to get to this point.

00:08:22.000 Actually, I should read it like Lori Lightfoot.

00:08:24.000 Because she's Beetlejuice. 1.00

00:08:25.000 I haven't seen that movie in a really long time, by the way.

00:08:27.000 I didn't want it to get to this point, but given the situation we find ourselves in,

00:08:30.000 we have no choice.

00:08:31.000 Beginning January 3rd, you must show proof you are fully vaxxed to enter bars.

00:08:35.000 I haven't seen that movie in a really long time, by the way.

00:08:37.000 That's a good impression.

00:08:38.000 I don't know if I'm doing a good Michael Keaton.

00:08:39.000 I love it.

00:08:40.000 She says, to enter bars, restaurants, fitness centers, and entertainment, and recreational

00:08:43.000 venues where food and drink are served.

00:08:45.000 But the best part was when she said, where is it?

00:08:47.000 Do we even have it on here?

00:08:48.000 Here we go.

00:08:49.000 To put it simply, if you have been living vaccine free, your time is up.

00:08:54.000 If you wish to live life as with the ease to do the things you love, you must be vaxxed.

00:09:00.000 This health order may pose an inconvenience to the unvaccinated.

00:09:04.000 And in fact, it is inconvenient by design.

00:09:06.000 I had to read it like a villain.

00:09:08.000 Yeah.

00:09:08.000 Because that was one of the most villainous statements on vaccine mandates from any executive.

00:09:16.000 I don't know, that one from Biden was pretty bad.

00:09:18.000 They're like, if you don't get vaccinated, you face a long, dark, cold winter, and you're going to overwhelm the hospitals, and basically you're going to die.

00:09:25.000 I don't, I don't, yes, it was bad, but I don't agree, right?

00:09:28.000 When I, when I saw it, so that was from Zients or whatever, the Coronavirus Task Force guy on Biden's administration.

00:09:34.000 He said, the unvaxxed can be expecting a winter of death and, you know, like suffering or whatever, because you'll overwhelm the hospitals.

00:09:41.000 But that's more like, you know, I imagine that as, if I was watching a movie, There's like a hooded figure issuing like a prophetic warning and like shaking a bony finger.

00:09:51.000 You will face death.

00:09:55.000 And that's not the real villain.

00:09:56.000 But this one she's like, if you've been living vaccine free, your time is up.

00:10:01.000 That's like Skeletor straight up being like, I'll get you He-Man.

00:10:05.000 You know, like not like just like a warning.

00:10:07.000 They're just gonna try to make your life as miserable as possible.

00:10:09.000 She said it! 0.52

00:10:10.000 Bill de Blasio was like, we're going to take away your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness unless you inject yourself with this, you know, this medication.

00:10:18.000 You want liberty?

00:10:19.000 Do what we say.

00:10:21.000 But you won't even get liberty if you do it.

00:10:22.000 That's the crazy thing.

00:10:23.000 No, not at all.

00:10:24.000 And in fact, the D.C.

00:10:25.000 area, sorry, Washington, D.C., just came out with its own vaccine mandate today, as a matter of fact.

00:10:31.000 And in there, it gave a definition of vaccinated, you know, and it's like two shots.

00:10:36.000 You're only one shot.

00:10:37.000 If you're a kid, two shots.

00:10:38.000 If you're adult, of course, that's going to change.

00:10:39.000 There's no liberty there.

00:10:41.000 You're going to just keep having to get the shot, but I'm faced with now, like I'm literally, I can't go to any restaurants in DC.

00:10:49.000 You got to move.

00:10:50.000 I got to move.

00:10:50.000 I wish the word that easy.

00:10:52.000 I'm divorced.

00:10:53.000 It's been a long time.

00:10:54.000 It's been 12 years.

00:10:54.000 We've been divorced.

00:10:56.000 The kids are here.

00:10:56.000 I'm not, you know, I have two choices.

00:10:58.000 I can either abandon my kids or I can kidnap them.

00:11:01.000 Either way, these are two, you know, obviously I can't do either one of those.

00:11:04.000 So I'm, I'm stuck.

00:11:05.000 Right.

00:11:06.000 And, uh, you know, I wish people would understand that when they come at me about the vaccine, it's like, also I have split custody and this is a thing divorced families are facing all across the country where the parents don't agree on what to do about the vaccine.

00:11:18.000 Well, now you, now there's no question.

00:11:20.000 Your kids have to be faxed period.

00:11:22.000 I mean, they're making it that way.

00:11:25.000 It used to be, you know, so we had that conversation about, you know, your kids want to do sports.

00:11:29.000 And then we got in that debate.

00:11:31.000 Now it doesn't even matter.

00:11:32.000 That's not even a question anymore.

00:11:33.000 Now it's, there's not going to be any legal defense.

00:11:36.000 There will be.

00:11:38.000 But I'll say this first and foremost.

00:11:40.000 It's one thing to be like, if I want my kids to play sports, they got to get the vaccine because of these rules.

00:11:44.000 Now they're just going to be like, if you want your kid to go to a restaurant, if you go to a gym, to go to the schools, to do any of that stuff, they have to be vaxxed.

00:11:49.000 So it's either they stay at home all day or they get the vaccine.

00:11:53.000 So I think that when it comes to a court, like a court argument where you're saying, you don't want your kids.

00:11:58.000 Yeah, there's no choice.

00:11:59.000 The judge is going to be like, boom, done.

00:12:01.000 Exactly.

00:12:01.000 Yeah.

00:12:02.000 So I literally have no choice.

00:12:03.000 And people, People don't like nuance.

00:12:06.000 The trolls don't like any nuance.

00:12:07.000 And they give me a hard time about our conversation that we had a couple of months ago.

00:12:12.000 And I'm just faced with the fact that I'm no longer and I'm no longer be able to go to restaurants, museum bars, nightclubs, theaters, music venues, whatever.

00:12:20.000 And even in the adjacent counties, Montgomery County, Arlington County, they're going to be doing the same thing.

00:12:24.000 Montgomery County just announced it.

00:12:26.000 I'm never going to be able to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art ever again in New York City.

00:12:29.000 I'm like being deleted out of society because I'm a strong, healthy, you know, man that has maybe I think I've had it before.

00:12:38.000 I remember March 2020 after CPAC.

00:12:41.000 Man, everybody was sick after CPAC.

00:12:43.000 Well, and people got it at CPAC.

00:12:44.000 Yeah.

00:12:45.000 I'm going to Chicago and we're leaving tomorrow at some point.

00:12:49.000 And this is probably the last time I'll ever go to Chicago.

00:12:51.000 No joke.

00:12:52.000 I feel fortunate that I've been able to travel the world already because so many people can't.

00:12:57.000 And the response from the people in the cult are just like, why don't you just do as you're told?

00:13:04.000 And I'm like, because I don't agree with it.

00:13:07.000 Whether you're vaccinated or not, I think the mandates are absolutely wrong in Austria.

00:13:10.000 They're bringing out inspectors to go track people down and find them.

00:13:14.000 So what I think is going to happen is, what Chicago is basically saying is, for the foreseeable future, until we deem it safe.

00:13:20.000 It's never going to be safe.

00:13:21.000 Not ever, ever.

00:13:23.000 I do have TSA Pre, so I don't have to take my shoes off when I go on the airlines, but I still watch all those people go through the line, taking off their shoes, taking their laptops out of their bag, all these things.

00:13:33.000 That is never going to change.

00:13:36.000 I suspect the masks on the airplane, probably never going to change.

00:13:39.000 Oh yeah.

00:13:40.000 I mean, who was it?

00:13:41.000 Someone already came out and said they should be permanent.

00:13:42.000 Was it Fauci?

00:13:43.000 I think it was Fauci.

00:13:44.000 Yeah.

00:13:44.000 I think Fauci was like, everybody should wear masks forever.

00:13:47.000 Right.

00:13:47.000 And despite the fact that two CEOs of airlines came out and talked about how the air filters inside those planes make for like the cleanest possible air you could ever be in, possibly like takes out 99% of any possible COVID, uh, you know, infectious particles and whatnot.

00:14:02.000 These things are never going to change.

00:14:02.000 Yeah.

00:14:04.000 The new society we have to deal with.

00:14:05.000 You know how they have those, when you're in a plane, they have the fan?

00:14:08.000 You can unscrew the thing and it blows the air out?

00:14:10.000 Yeah.

00:14:10.000 So have you ever sat next to someone on a plane who farts a lot?

00:14:14.000 It happens, right?

00:14:15.000 Because what happens is there's lower pressure at a higher altitude.

00:14:21.000 So the plane is pressurized.

00:14:23.000 Fart science.

00:14:24.000 No, it is.

00:14:24.000 Check it out.

00:14:25.000 The plane is pressurized, but it's still lower pressure than you would be on the ground.

00:14:30.000 And so the gas in your body expands and makes it more likely for you to fart.

00:14:34.000 Well, I've traveled so much, man.

00:14:35.000 I'll let you in on a tip.

00:14:36.000 Many people may already know this if you travel, but I used to fly twice a week.

00:14:39.000 So what I would do is I would open the vent and have the fan blow down to my right side to create a barrier.

00:14:46.000 And so when the fart would come out, the air would hit it and push it away.

00:14:50.000 You think I'm kidding?

00:14:51.000 It works.

00:14:51.000 Brilliant.

00:14:52.000 It works.

00:14:53.000 And so I bring this up because it should be true for anything, including, you know, the droplets.

00:14:58.000 Yeah, you turn the fan on, you have it below next to you, and you got a little wind barrier pushing away the air, and it pulls in air from other directions.

00:15:04.000 So not only that, but you're right, you got the filters in these airplanes.

00:15:07.000 They don't care, man.

00:15:08.000 One thing I've noticed, I've been traveling so much as well, I've got like executive platinum pro status on American Now. 0.93

00:15:15.000 Nobody gives a crap about wearing masks in the airport.

00:15:19.000 I have not been wearing mask in any airport. 0.91

00:15:21.000 I don't wear one until I get to the point of going on to the into the gate right down into the airplane.

00:15:27.000 I've seen people walk up with no mask on.

00:15:27.000 Nobody cares.

00:15:29.000 They don't say they just hand them a mask.

00:15:31.000 Don't say anything.

00:15:32.000 The only time that they required is on the plane.

00:15:34.000 You know what?

00:15:35.000 Not even all the time then.

00:15:36.000 No one says anything wrong.

00:15:36.000 None.

00:15:36.000 No.

00:15:36.000 require it in airports but there's no enforcement for the most part.

00:15:40.000 Like a TSA agent is going to walk up to you randomly and be like, put on a mask sir, no

00:15:44.000 one says anything.

00:15:45.000 No one says anything.

00:15:46.000 You need that plane though.

00:15:47.000 Right.

00:15:48.000 And then all of a sudden they're like, federal law says, there's no federal law.

00:15:52.000 There's a federal law that grants the president right to issue executive orders, and the president issued an executive order, and now they're claiming a federal one.

00:15:59.000 No, that's not how it works.

00:16:00.000 And this is emblematic of the problem of the bureaucratic state, where they create these vague laws, and then they empower this whole administrative state to then administer the laws in whatever way they see fit, and then they issue these rules, these mandates, and then the courts will adjudicate them, and effectively it becomes law at that point.

00:16:18.000 But you have basically an army of technocrats deciding the way that we have to live our lives today, and it's out of the power of the legislature.

00:16:27.000 Why hasn't Congress sat down and actually debated these very things on the floor of Congress and decided whether or not the people want to have that?

00:16:34.000 Those times have come and gone.

00:16:36.000 Democracy?

00:16:37.000 Republic?

00:16:38.000 You see the Babylon Bee article, it was like in terrible blow for democracy, majority representatives make decision for country or whatever.

00:16:47.000 Right, they're blaming it all on the one West Virginia senator.

00:16:50.000 And it's like, well, what about the other 50 guys that didn't vote for it as well? 0.94

00:16:54.000 It's ridiculous. 0.94

00:16:55.000 Yeah. 0.97

00:16:56.000 And you know what?

00:16:56.000 Kudos to that guy for holding his ground and making his decision.

00:16:59.000 He's under a lot of pressure.

00:17:01.000 I don't understand why he still caucuses with the Democrats.

00:17:03.000 He doesn't vote with them.

00:17:04.000 He's considering going independent.

00:17:05.000 Independent?

00:17:06.000 He should.

00:17:07.000 He should. 0.92

00:17:08.000 And the fact that they try to lay it all on him is just a ridiculous cop-out.

00:17:12.000 It's part of the Olinsky strategy of isolating targets and funneling all of the energy onto them and hopefully making it personal and hopefully getting them to crack.

00:17:23.000 It's in the book, Rules for Radicals, and they do it. 0.99

00:17:26.000 They isolate people, they target them.

00:17:28.000 Hell, I've seen people do that in my personal life.

00:17:31.000 We got it.

00:17:31.000 I found it from Babylon Bee.

00:17:32.000 It says in stunning blow to democracy legislation decided by majority of elected representatives. Oh my gosh. I love

00:17:38.000 it stop the Because they keep saying like, how come one man is stopping us?

00:17:43.000 And it's like, it's 51 senators. 1.00

00:17:45.000 You're insane. 1.00

00:17:47.000 In a stunning blow. 0.99

00:17:48.000 Basically, democracy works in action.

00:17:51.000 A majority of elected representatives deny the passage of the bill.

00:17:54.000 Wow.

00:17:55.000 Somebody just super chatted saying that they were denied seeing their kids by a judge because they're not vaccinated.

00:18:01.000 I'm sorry to hear that for you.

00:18:05.000 I've heard this a number of times.

00:18:06.000 We've seen court orders where parents were not allowed to see their own children because of the vaccine.

00:18:12.000 I don't know.

00:18:13.000 I don't know if we're going to win this one.

00:18:15.000 The vaccine.

00:18:16.000 Yeah, I think the vaccine mandates will become law and people will get their routine injections and they're not, you know, give it five years and no one's going to even question it.

00:18:27.000 And the reason is, I think you've got cult members and cowards, and that makes up the bulk of what this country is.

00:18:33.000 So I can't remember who well first there was Clifton Duncan who had an amazing tweet

00:18:37.000 He said something to the effect of my disdain for covid. It's has been you know

00:18:42.000 Superseded by my by my disdain for those who know something is wrong and refuse to speak up. Yeah

00:18:47.000 so, you know every single person who Watched this in in the beginning and said I'm not gonna I'm

00:18:55.000 not gonna say anything I'm not going to put any risk to myself and are now suffering the consequences.

00:18:59.000 I mean, it's too late.

00:19:00.000 The time to speak up was a while ago.

00:19:02.000 Now that Chicago and D.C.

00:19:04.000 and other places are rolling these things out.

00:19:06.000 And we saw what happened in New York.

00:19:08.000 They will comply.

00:19:09.000 Regular people will drop to their knees to fillet the state with a smile on their face.

00:19:14.000 No, maybe not a smile on their face.

00:19:15.000 Maybe they'll be crying while they do it.

00:19:17.000 But, like, let's be real.

00:19:18.000 They're gonna do it.

00:19:20.000 And then what that means is there will be outliers.

00:19:23.000 There will be people who refuse to participate.

00:19:26.000 Some of these people who oppose, many of them who oppose the mandates, are vaccinated.

00:19:29.000 And these people will find themselves in the woods.

00:19:33.000 You know, or the the metaphorical woods, right?

00:19:37.000 You could still go to the grocery store.

00:19:39.000 You can still walk around on the streets.

00:19:41.000 You think they're really going to come after grocery stores?

00:19:44.000 One hundred percent.

00:19:45.000 Yes.

00:19:46.000 In Austria, it's a mandate period.

00:19:49.000 Even in your own home, you must be vaccinated.

00:19:52.000 So they're hiring inspectors to do research and track people down and then issue them a 3,600 euro fine every quarter if they do not get vaccinated.

00:20:00.000 Well, in DC, not only now can they issue you a fine, but they can revoke your business and driver's licenses.

00:20:07.000 They can't do it.

00:20:08.000 They do it. 1.00

00:20:10.000 And people drop to their knees and say, I will do anything you say, because they're losers. 0.98

00:20:14.000 They're going to take my driver's license, take my business license. 0.96

00:20:19.000 I will not comply.

00:20:19.000 I'm not complying.

00:20:20.000 I'm never going to comply.

00:20:21.000 Period.

00:20:22.000 End of story.

00:20:23.000 It would be nice if we could, like, maybe if it happens to me, we can...

00:20:26.000 Agreed.

00:20:26.000 Yes, exactly.

00:20:26.000 lawsuit and try to fight this. But there's absolutely no way at this point because look,

00:20:32.000 it's the more they tell me I have to do it, the less I'm interested in complying. Yes,

00:20:37.000 exactly. I will not ever comply. Not you know, the issue is I will not bend the knee to slimy 0.50

00:20:45.000 cultists.

00:20:47.000 You can show me all the science in the world and I'm going to say when the evil people are beating... It's like this.

00:20:53.000 Imagine you've got a despotic king and he's evil as evil can be and they beat and torture and maim and do all this really awful stuff.

00:21:01.000 And then they say, we are going to mandate everyone eat these delicious pomegranates.

00:21:07.000 I'd be like, you can't make me do anything.

00:21:08.000 I don't care.

00:21:09.000 I like pomegranates.

00:21:10.000 You know what I mean?

00:21:11.000 I think vaccines are great.

00:21:12.000 But the state taking this power, it's only going to get substantially worse.

00:21:17.000 So for me, it's like, it's very obvious.

00:21:21.000 If this is the path we're on.

00:21:24.000 You can only imagine how insane it will be a year from now.

00:21:29.000 Because you think about what the past two years have been like.

00:21:31.000 First, it was two weeks.

00:21:33.000 Then it was just wear a mask.

00:21:34.000 We've seen the memes.

00:21:35.000 It's just this.

00:21:36.000 It's just this.

00:21:37.000 Eventually, you see in Australia, they're rounding people up and putting them in camps, and they're justifying it.

00:21:43.000 And I'll tell you how scary it is.

00:21:44.000 It's not what Claire says.

00:21:45.000 Yeah, when Claire Lehman of Quillette Is one of the cheerleaders for arresting people without due process and bringing them to a camp and saying it's normal? 0.98

00:21:55.000 Yo, we're in trouble, man.

00:21:56.000 How?

00:21:57.000 What is her deal, dude?

00:21:58.000 Because she was posting Instagram pictures from like, I guess the Olympic team, like stayed there briefly and saying like, this is who's staying there, Timmy.

00:22:08.000 Hot babes. 0.96

00:22:09.000 That's who was staying there.

00:22:10.000 Don't you want to be there with the hot babes? 1.00

00:22:11.000 Do you remember when there was a hot minute when Quillette was like, oh, right on point, right on the cutting edge, like really doing the thing that they're supposed to do, really saying the right things, doing like actual science and thinking about it and reporting on real anti-woke stuff.

00:22:28.000 And then now she's like, it's just the Olympic team, man.

00:22:32.000 Don't worry about it.

00:22:33.000 Well, she was making it seem like it was all hot babes. 0.99

00:22:35.000 Right.

00:22:36.000 When it was actually just one propaganda moment from a year ago or whatever.

00:22:40.000 Right.

00:22:40.000 Exactly.

00:22:40.000 So they have these... Do you think she did that unwittingly or is she an agent now?

00:22:47.000 I think she's scared that the state will take everything away from her.

00:22:52.000 And she's in this position where she's not that famous, but she's famous enough, and she knows it.

00:22:57.000 She knows her option is stand on principle and be persecuted, or get on your knees and fillet the state, and at least you'll be fed irregularly.

00:23:07.000 Look, all this does is confirm to me that what we're doing in the liminal order even makes more sense.

00:23:11.000 We're building an independent network separate from the institutions.

00:23:14.000 We're finding ways to do our business with each other, invest in each other's companies.

00:23:18.000 All this drama that's going on around me right now, I literally could not give one single F.

00:23:23.000 Because all we're doing right now is like building businesses that are going to change the world.

00:23:27.000 We're building ways that people can get independent access and direct access to beef.

00:23:32.000 For example, look at modern T-Man.

00:23:34.000 He's working on getting a way to get direct access from the consumers to the beef producers so we can cut out the middlemen.

00:23:41.000 We're trying to find all kinds of ways to solve education problems, communications problems, Because you're going to have to get meaning, safety, security, entertainment, culture, and arts all from independent networks instead of the institutions.

00:23:56.000 Because institutions want you fat, sick, jailed, or you know, tied to your desk in debt for the rest of your life.

00:24:02.000 That's what they want.

00:24:02.000 I think there's a lot of people who are choosing.

00:24:05.000 They know it's wrong.

00:24:06.000 They know what's going on is wrong.

00:24:08.000 And they're lying to themselves.

00:24:10.000 And just going along with it because You know, people are tribal beings.

00:24:16.000 So there's like this dude I know who he's tweeting about how he's like, I got the third shot and I was like, you're getting the fourth?

00:24:23.000 Yep.

00:24:24.000 And I'm like in the fifth and the sixth and they're like, it's endemic.

00:24:27.000 It's going to be like a flu shot.

00:24:28.000 And I'm like, yeah, I know, but you never got a flu shot before, dude.

00:24:30.000 Like I know you.

00:24:31.000 And all of a sudden you're just accepting these, this new normal.

00:24:34.000 I never got a flu shot ever.

00:24:36.000 I never get the flu shots, but when I was a kid I got one.

00:24:38.000 But I do have the measles, mump and rubella.

00:24:41.000 I do have the polio, pertussis, all those.

00:24:43.000 I've got more vaccines than the average person substantially.

00:24:46.000 I've talked about it before.

00:24:47.000 So they give you all these crazy different shots.

00:24:47.000 Yeah, I was traveling.

00:24:49.000 And I received the flu shot when I was a kid.

00:24:51.000 It makes sense.

00:24:52.000 You're going to places where you can catch the disease just by standing.

00:24:55.000 It's going to be amazing.

00:24:56.000 It's going to be, I think... I think it's going to be 36 feet at the peak.

00:25:02.000 And it's going to be 25 foot walls.

00:25:05.000 75 feet by 100 feet.

00:25:07.000 And then we're building the new studio.

00:25:08.000 It's going to be slightly bigger than the room we're in.

00:25:10.000 The room we're in now is about 15 by 32, I think, actually.

00:25:15.000 And the one we're building is gonna be 25 by 40.

00:25:21.000 So we're gonna have a much bigger room and it's gonna have one big glass window

00:25:26.000 overlooking the work facility.

00:25:28.000 It's gonna be amazing.

00:25:29.000 And so what we're doing there is, for one, we're going into a place where we don't gotta worry

00:25:32.000 about any of this stuff.

00:25:33.000 And maybe it's bad that we retreat or whatever, but man, I was in,

00:25:38.000 we were in the New Jersey area.

00:25:39.000 We were trying to buy a building and everything started to fall

00:25:42.000 apart when COVID happened.

00:25:43.000 And then ultimately we decided, you know, we could barely go

00:25:47.000 out because they had to stay at home orders.

00:25:49.000 And so it wasn't back then it was interesting

00:25:52.000 because no one was forcing you to stay home. It was just like we

00:25:54.000 were kind of doing it because we're like, OK, what else do we

00:25:56.000 do?

00:25:56.000 And we want it was nowhere to go.

00:25:57.000 Yeah.

00:25:58.000 Yeah. Everything was closed down.

00:26:00.000 And so we would just sit around, but we had a backyard.

00:26:02.000 We had a fire pit.

00:26:02.000 Ian would make fires and we'd hang out.

00:26:04.000 We had a big skate park.

00:26:05.000 I remember seeing that the first time.

00:26:06.000 It wasn't super big.

00:26:08.000 It was like 15 feet by 60 feet or something like that.

00:26:14.000 I guess that's... No, not 60 feet.

00:26:16.000 Actually, yeah, maybe it... No, maybe it was 50 feet.

00:26:18.000 I think it was 50 feet.

00:26:19.000 So it was like a big concrete platform.

00:26:21.000 So we were able to exercise.

00:26:22.000 We were able to barbecue and have fires.

00:26:24.000 But ultimately I was like, dude, this stuff's getting worse.

00:26:27.000 You know, like, we need to get out of here.

00:26:30.000 And so we decided to move out here.

00:26:32.000 Now it's expanding.

00:26:33.000 Chicago, DC, Boston.

00:26:37.000 They are absolutely going to go national with the mandates.

00:26:40.000 I don't see the red states escaping this.

00:26:45.000 But at the very least, you know, in West Virginia, we are so far removed from everything that I really don't see enforcement as being possible.

00:26:53.000 Right.

00:26:53.000 And it comes down to the county sheriff, ultimately, right?

00:26:57.000 Is the county sheriff going to enforce these things?

00:26:58.000 And one thing that I remember when the Virginia governor was making noise that they were going to try to pass legislation that was going to really curtail Second Amendment rights.

00:27:09.000 A bunch of county sheriffs got together and were like, we will not enforce this.

00:27:14.000 Come at us.

00:27:16.000 And at the same time, uh, the West Virginia legislature, or at least one of the legislators there was like, Hey, all your county is in Virginia.

00:27:24.000 If you don't want to do that, come on over here to West Virginia.

00:27:26.000 And people act like it's such a crazy thing, but, um, hello, why does West Virginia exist in the first place?

00:27:32.000 Because a civil war happened.

00:27:33.000 Well, I know, but they had different political ideas and they split up.

00:27:36.000 This is not an insane idea to have the states disassemble and reassemble in some capacity.

00:27:43.000 Yo, it's a meme, but I think civil war is inevitable. 0.94

00:27:49.000 I absolutely do.

00:27:50.000 Because in Boston and Chicago, I know people in Chicago, because I'm from there, and a bunch of people I know have been posting things on Facebook like, I'm scared.

00:28:00.000 They're going to force me to do this.

00:28:02.000 It's crazy to hear from people I know being like, what do I do?

00:28:05.000 I'm going to lose my job.

00:28:06.000 What do I do?

00:28:07.000 They're going to make me do this.

00:28:08.000 And it's like, you have to leave.

00:28:10.000 You have to leave.

00:28:12.000 Y'all voted for this.

00:28:13.000 That's the funniest thing.

00:28:13.000 Some of these people are Biden voters, Democrat voters.

00:28:16.000 And with a smile on their face, they went in there and they rubber stamped Democrat, and now they're going, why is this happening to me?

00:28:20.000 Because you voted for it.

00:28:22.000 Because the people who voted for Ron DeSantis, I think they're pretty happy with their choice.

00:28:26.000 Dude, hair margin, though, man.

00:28:29.000 Remember, he barely beat Gillum.

00:28:31.000 Barely beat him.

00:28:33.000 Imagine the difference in the national conversation, too, if Gillum had won and DeSantis wasn't a voice.

00:28:38.000 And then Gillum was found naked, drugged out. 0.99

00:28:40.000 Passed out at a gay orgy or something like that. 0.99

00:28:43.000 And it's crazy that you have Navy veteran— Not that there's anything wrong with that. 0.98

00:28:48.000 Well, you just think about the kind of person you have to choose from in terms of leadership.

00:28:53.000 An irresponsible, you know, partier, or a Navy veteran.

00:28:58.000 And people almost went for the guy who was not a leader. 0.99

00:29:01.000 Look, I got no issue with people wanting to have gay orgies and do drugs. 1.00

00:29:05.000 I'm very libertarian. 0.99

00:29:06.000 I'm like, this is what makes America great.

00:29:08.000 You go off and you do your thing, and as long as you're not hurting other people, just, you know, leave kids out of it, leave us out of it, and you do your thing and you'll be happy.

00:29:15.000 But when it comes to leadership, I think we need somebody with leadership experience.

00:29:19.000 And this state almost went for Gillum instead of DeSantis.

00:29:23.000 There's a lot of things about DeSantis.

00:29:24.000 I don't agree with everything DeSantis does.

00:29:26.000 He's been criticized over free speech issues.

00:29:29.000 But I would take the military veteran over the drug-abusing partier guy.

00:29:34.000 Don't you think, though, if it comes down at a federal level that Gillum, or not Gillum, DeSantis, he'll resist.

00:29:40.000 Tennessee governor, they'll resist.

00:29:42.000 West Virginia, they'll resist.

00:29:44.000 A federal, I mean, look, we already have in practice today across the country, states actively resisting federal law.

00:29:54.000 That's why I'm saying civil war, because look, But marijuana hasn't caused a civil war.

00:29:58.000 This is different, dude.

00:29:59.000 But the concept is the same.

00:30:02.000 There's a federal law and the states are saying no.

00:30:05.000 That's not the issue.

00:30:08.000 I could care less.

00:30:09.000 I'm sorry.

00:30:10.000 I could not care less.

00:30:11.000 That's the correct way to say it.

00:30:13.000 I could not care less if California legalized every drug on the planet and then some.

00:30:18.000 I don't live there.

00:30:19.000 I don't care.

00:30:20.000 It has nothing to do with me.

00:30:21.000 But when cities start saying you must undergo a permanent and irreversible medical procedure, people flee those cities and they go to red areas.

00:30:32.000 And some of these people are, you know, normies.

00:30:34.000 They're not going to be voting.

00:30:35.000 Some of them might vote Democrat.

00:30:36.000 But what you're doing is, right now in this country, what did Bill Maher say?

00:30:41.000 There can't be, there can't be a civil war in this country because the Mason-Dixon line would go through Nana's kitchen. 1.00

00:30:48.000 Ha ha ha, says the audience.

00:30:50.000 But that's because we had nothing but an ideological polarization.

00:30:54.000 What the vaccine mandates are doing is creating a geographical polarization.

00:30:58.000 Now you've got people like me who lived in the Philly suburbs who moved to West Virginia.

00:31:03.000 Because I'm like, I will not comply or live under the boot of these despots.

00:31:08.000 So I go to the place where everyone's like, we got guns, buddy.

00:31:11.000 And I'm like, I would like some of those guns too, sir.

00:31:13.000 Let's go.

00:31:14.000 The people who live in these cities who say no to the mandates have been fleeing and they're going to red areas. 0.97

00:31:19.000 So now the ideological polarization where you've got people in the New York area who are mixed, now New York City is hard left.

00:31:27.000 These are the people who gleefully all line up together to get on their knees to fillet the state.

00:31:32.000 And then you have the people who are like, I ain't doing that, moving out.

00:31:35.000 Right.

00:31:35.000 So my vector on this was federal law needs to be enforced.

00:31:43.000 So there will be areas of the country who resist the enforcement of the federal law.

00:31:47.000 It's not the federal law, bro.

00:31:49.000 It's the state laws.

00:31:50.000 It's the local laws.

00:31:50.000 But you think that the Tennessee governor is going to be like, all right, everybody get vaxxed.

00:31:55.000 Why would he do that?

00:31:56.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:31:57.000 I'm not saying that.

00:31:57.000 I'm saying that Mayor Bill de Blasio is going to say, I'm going to take away your paycheck.

00:32:01.000 And then 20% of the city is going to say, we will leave New York City.

00:32:04.000 Do it.

00:32:05.000 Then you're going to have those 20% that lean conservative moving into more conservative areas.

00:32:09.000 And the polarization is now geographical.

00:32:11.000 Yeah, it's accelerated.

00:32:12.000 Then you get the June 2022 Supreme Court ruling on Roe v. Wade.

00:32:19.000 The left seems to think Roe v. Wade is done for, and if that's the case, now you have hard leftist, overtly progressive or communist or socialist factions in cities, and red states that have become overwhelmingly red, and then you get a wedge issue.

00:32:35.000 Blue states saying, we are going to run, you know, abortion clinics in violation of, you know, federal law or whatever, and then you'll end up with people fighting over it.

00:32:48.000 So have you heard my assessment on that regard, my potentialities I've stated about this?

00:32:52.000 No.

00:32:53.000 So NBC News, Slate, a bunch of left journalists said that based on the oral arguments on Roe v. Wade on the Mississippi law, the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade June 2022.

00:33:05.000 That's what the left believes.

00:33:06.000 I don't know if it'll actually happen because who knows, many of these conservatives are going to be like, well, it's settled law.

00:33:11.000 But let's say they do.

00:33:12.000 What does that really mean?

00:33:13.000 Well, it means 12 states have trigger laws which will instantly ban abortion.

00:33:17.000 Then you're going to have the midterms.

00:33:20.000 And it's gonna get rowdy.

00:33:22.000 If a red wave actually happens, Republicans will absolutely put forth a bill to federally ban abortion.

00:33:29.000 They absolutely will.

00:33:31.000 And they will have the votes to do it.

00:33:32.000 Now, I don't know if it's definitive.

00:33:34.000 I'm just saying, if the Supreme Court does this, if there's a red wave, The Republicans very likely would do this.

00:33:41.000 Joe Biden very likely would veto it.

00:33:43.000 Then comes 2024.

00:33:44.000 You now have geographically polarized regions.

00:33:48.000 The cities have become overwhelmingly blue and subservient to the state, and the red states have become overwhelmingly libertarian and anti-establishment.

00:33:56.000 And then you get a Donald Trump victory or a Ron DeSantis victory, and they say, the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to sign the federal abortion ban.

00:34:03.000 And the moment they do, like John Podesta asked of the West Coast, you will see blue states start to act overtly in defiance of federal law and seek to secede.

00:34:13.000 Or maybe that's too much.

00:34:14.000 Maybe modern sensibilities prevent them from doing it.

00:34:16.000 I guarantee you, though, if we ever get to the point where there's a federal abortion ban, you will see blue states defy that, and then you will probably see Conservative and Republican executive authority going in and shutting these things down, which results in a dramatic escalation of conflict.

00:34:32.000 When you have geographical polarization plus states defying federal law to the point where it's the issue of babies, you know, and abortion, I think it's very simple. 0.56

00:34:45.000 When it comes to marijuana laws, you are not going to see a conservative be like, we have to stop these dispensaries. 0.98

00:34:51.000 When it comes to abortion, you absolutely will have conservatives being like, we have to go in and stop them from killing babies.

00:34:57.000 Right.

00:34:57.000 You know, there is an interesting moral argument to be had here about making a union with somebody who has a different moral framework.

00:35:06.000 For example, when the union was being formed back in revolutionary times, there was a lot of people, plenty up North, who didn't want to be in a country with the slave states.

00:35:16.000 Yep.

00:35:16.000 But there was a moral argument to be had which is if we don't form a country with the slave states they will then form their own country and then their country will be based on this immoral thing and it'll be left alone to prosper.

00:35:29.000 And so the moral argument was actually to incorporate those slave states into the Union so that over time the idea of natural law and natural rights would be able to overcome slavery.

00:35:40.000 And that led to a civil war.

00:35:41.000 I don't think so.

00:35:42.000 I think it resolved slavery in the sense that that was it.

00:35:43.000 set in motion and the Civil War resolved that issue and then we resolved it.

00:35:47.000 Right.

00:35:48.000 So there is a question.

00:35:49.000 And I don't think so.

00:35:50.000 I think it resolved slavery in the sense that that was it.

00:35:55.000 And then it took a couple years before we finally totally purged it.

00:35:59.000 But the conflict of the Civil War has never stopped.

00:36:02.000 It's really interesting how... It's probably a bit reductive to frame it this way, but, you know, just reading history and following the presidency and the elections, when I see, like, everyone's like, this is all because of Obama when Obama got elected.

00:36:15.000 And then I'm like, OK, so I read about Obama and everyone's like, Obama got elected because of Bush.

00:36:19.000 It's all because of Bush.

00:36:20.000 Then you go back to 2000, Gore versus Bush.

00:36:22.000 Then you go back to Clinton.

00:36:23.000 There is always something that, as a catalyst, leads us to this moment of polarization.

00:36:28.000 And I think it's fair to say that, in many ways, the Civil War never ended.

00:36:33.000 But I'll give you a better example to understand, you know, the simplicity of this.

00:36:37.000 It's not a complicated thing.

00:36:37.000 It's not a conspiracy theory.

00:36:38.000 It's very simple.

00:36:39.000 There's this really great meme.

00:36:41.000 It's not really a meme.

00:36:42.000 It's kind of just like a tweet.

00:36:44.000 And they say how geographical formations from the Paleolithic era affects modern-day voting practices.

00:36:51.000 And what they show is that in the American South, there used to be a coastline which layered a bunch of minerals in a band across southern states.

00:37:00.000 This created the most fertile farmland.

00:37:03.000 So then when the plantation owners moved there, they brought all their slaves to this fertile farmland.

00:37:09.000 Then, when slavery ended, and today, that area is overwhelmingly Democrat and always votes Democrat.

00:37:15.000 So people are pointing out how this geographical formation ultimately resulted in this band of Democrat voters in the South.

00:37:21.000 So what I mean to say is, I read about the Civil War.

00:37:24.000 Read about was it 1872 or 1876 where they where they they decided the president by committee

00:37:30.000 I don't recall this one. So this is let me see if I can pull this one up. I think it was 1872

00:37:36.000 I could be wrong. It might have been six the 1872 election, let's see

00:37:41.000 No, maybe it was the next one One of these elections was decided by committee.

00:37:47.000 And it was because there was a dispute among the states as to which electors were real and which ones were like the legitimate ones.

00:37:55.000 And this resulted in a compromise that ended the reconstruction.

00:38:00.000 Boy, that sounds awfully familiar to a memo that I heard was written and presented to Mike Pence sometime in January.

00:38:06.000 It was 76.

00:38:07.000 Yeah.

00:38:08.000 It was a compromise between Democrats and Republicans.

00:38:10.000 The Democrats, of course, were the Southern slave owners and racists.

00:38:13.000 And, you know, after the Civil War was over, you ended with the Union going and occupying the South in the Reconstruction era.

00:38:19.000 And then this election happened.

00:38:22.000 And it was so contentious that there was fear the Civil War was going to break out again.

00:38:26.000 And so they said, what do we do to make sure that doesn't happen?

00:38:28.000 We will compromise.

00:38:30.000 And so they ultimately said, okay, Democrats.

00:38:32.000 I think they gave it to the Democrats, right?

00:38:34.000 Let's see.

00:38:34.000 Who actually became president?

00:38:38.000 I think it was the Democrat.

00:38:39.000 I'm not sure.

00:38:39.000 But ultimately they were like, this will end reconstruction.

00:38:41.000 Or I think they ended reconstruction in exchange for the Republican getting it.

00:38:46.000 I can't remember.

00:38:47.000 I was reading it before.

00:38:48.000 Yeah, James Buchanan, all this stuff.

00:38:49.000 So anyway, it was says it was the second of five presidential elections in which the person who

00:38:54.000 won the most popular vote did not win the election. The result of the main election,

00:38:59.000 second of five person in with a high quality content. Yeah, man.

00:39:05.000 So there we go.

00:39:09.000 Electoral Disputes and the Compromise of 1877.

00:39:10.000 So, I started reading about this, and then I'm like, oh wow, they were still fighting.

00:39:15.000 Then you read about how the Democrats, you know, fought back after losing the Civil War with the Klan.

00:39:19.000 Then you read about how this resulted in the Civil Rights, like, this ultimately brought us the Civil Rights era, and how the Democrats decided to change their strategy in other ways.

00:39:27.000 And history is really dependent upon which political tribe you believe in.

00:39:30.000 The Democrats will tell you that it's at this point in the civil rights era that Democrats

00:39:35.000 realized the folly of their ways and decided to help those who are minorities because that 1.00

00:39:39.000 was the path towards winning and the Republicans adopted the Southern strategy and decided

00:39:43.000 to start working with the racists and I don't believe that's true.

00:39:47.000 I don't either.

00:39:48.000 The other the other the other idea which is a bit more conspiratorial is that Democrat

00:39:52.000 politicians realized the path towards suppressing minorities and maintaining their racism was

00:39:58.000 to control these groups and thus they felt that that was their path forward.

00:40:03.000 I mean, Matt Stoller, we've talked about Matt before, he wrote an amazing book where he outlined, I believe the guy's name was Fred Dutton, I could be wrong on that, where he was a democratic strategist in the 60s and he wanted to capture the vote of minorities and homosexuals and independent women and feminist women.

00:40:23.000 Because he believed that that was the way to gain power, and they wanted to become anti-white male.

00:40:29.000 And that was the turn that happened in the 60s and the 70s, and we still see that play out today.

00:40:34.000 I mean, the stats are really freaking clear.

00:40:37.000 Who was that?

00:40:37.000 It was the landslide.

00:40:39.000 Who ran against Nixon?

00:40:45.000 Goldwater?

00:40:46.000 No, no, Reagan Mondale, I think.

00:40:48.000 Reagan Mondale, yeah.

00:40:49.000 Mondale was the guy who was like, I'm gonna form a coalition of the minorities and the women and the downtrodden, and then he got, like, obliterated in the election.

00:40:57.000 Here's what people need to understand about these elections.

00:40:59.000 So this wasn't 1980, this was 1984, right?

00:41:02.000 I think so.

00:41:03.000 So here's what people really don't get about what a 49-state landslide is.

00:41:07.000 1984 election, come on.

00:41:10.000 Was it Minnesota, I think?

00:41:12.000 Look at all these, Wikipedia's got everybody.

00:41:15.000 Uh, was it?

00:41:16.000 Where's United States?

00:41:18.000 Come on, Wikipedia, there we go, United States.

00:41:20.000 Why is this so difficult?

00:41:21.000 Presidential election, there we go.

00:41:23.000 Yep, it was Walter Mondale and Reagan.

00:41:25.000 And you know what people don't realize first?

00:41:27.000 When I say 49 state landslide, what do people imagine?

00:41:30.000 They imagine out of 100 million people, 90 million people voted One Direction and everyone's cheering and celebrating and saying, this is the guy we wanted, we're all in agreement, this country is unified?

00:41:39.000 Yeah, it wasn't like that, was it?

00:41:40.000 No, it wasn't like that at all.

00:41:41.000 And so younger people don't get this.

00:41:43.000 Ronald Reagan got 54 million votes to Walter Mondale's 37 million.

00:41:46.000 It was 58% to 40%!

00:41:51.000 Decisive.

00:41:52.000 Absolutely decisive.

00:41:53.000 In the era where we're used to things being 48 to 48 and decided by 77,000 votes and whatnot.

00:41:59.000 This is nearly half, almost half the country opposing Ronald Reagan, but 49 states granting their electoral votes to him.

00:42:08.000 Abolish the Electoral College!

00:42:10.000 That's right.

00:42:11.000 Well, I mean, this is why.

00:42:12.000 Because these 49 state landslides tend to favor Republicans.

00:42:16.000 This is one of the, you're making a face like it's not true.

00:42:20.000 I think statistically speaking, you could favor either party, but historically speaking, right?

00:42:24.000 It's been Nixon.

00:42:25.000 It's been Reagan.

00:42:25.000 Right.

00:42:26.000 Interesting.

00:42:26.000 Was it Nixon?

00:42:27.000 Wasn't, weren't there three finance landslides?

00:42:29.000 We are a union of states.

00:42:32.000 I believe in that.

00:42:34.000 The question, this comes up every election, right?

00:42:36.000 It's like, but the question we need to ask ourselves is like, how would you induce states into a union today?

00:42:43.000 You have to give them power.

00:42:45.000 This is about keeping the union together.

00:42:47.000 And this is what people don't understand about being hardcore ideological, even on a moral level, versus statesmanship and prudence.

00:42:56.000 How are you going to actually get something done?

00:42:59.000 And is it okay to make compromises on certain values here and there in order to have your primary values or the one that's most important to you have success?

00:43:08.000 Statesmanship is an entirely different thing than being an ideologue and statesmanship requires prudence and prudence is difficult.

00:43:16.000 Prudence by its very definition is about making tough decisions between two competing interests that you have.

00:43:22.000 And that's what people are facing all across the country right now when it comes to do I comply with this VAX mandate?

00:43:27.000 Do I have my kid take the VAX if he doesn't take the VAX and he can't go to school if he doesn't get educated that he can't get a job if he doesn't get a job etc etc or do I stand up for this?

00:43:35.000 I mean this is why prudence It's such a difficult thing to teach.

00:43:39.000 It's a difficult thing to experience.

00:43:41.000 Statesmanship is way different than just writing a book about theory and trying to say, this is the way everything should be.

00:43:49.000 Abraham Kennedy, for example, is not a statesman, right?

00:43:52.000 He's an ideologue.

00:43:53.000 He's not a guy that knows how to get things done and make compromises.

00:43:56.000 They're overt about it.

00:43:56.000 They admit it.

00:43:57.000 Yeah.

00:43:58.000 There's like, I guess there's some interview where he says, we realized that everything was indoctrination, so we decided, why don't we indoctrinate?

00:44:03.000 Yeah.

00:44:04.000 Like, why?

00:44:05.000 I get it.

00:44:06.000 I respect that.

00:44:07.000 That's the funny thing, too.

00:44:08.000 Like, everything, like, is indoctrination.

00:44:11.000 Yes.

00:44:12.000 And it's funny how there's a lot of people calling for banning books in schools.

00:44:18.000 I just find that really funny, the critical race theory stuff.

00:44:21.000 And I'm like, yeah, I don't know if we really want to ban the books from the schools.

00:44:24.000 We want to ban the praxis of the books.

00:44:27.000 Like, the teachers should explain the books to kids.

00:44:30.000 You know, the stuff where it's got people performing adult activities in them, which they did have in schools.

00:44:33.000 Yeah, that's a little different.

00:44:35.000 You know, we're not talking about ideologies.

00:44:38.000 I don't like the idea of banning books because of their ideology.

00:44:41.000 But I don't like the idea of teaching the ideology.

00:44:44.000 And you know, what's funny is even the book burners don't even really think about that because they're like, oh yeah, there's this, the book, the Marx Marxist book is in the library, Communist Manifesto, Das Kapital.

00:44:53.000 That's in the library.

00:44:54.000 So is Adam Smith.

00:44:56.000 Right.

00:44:56.000 Nobody cares that they're both in the library.

00:44:58.000 What do you, you can't have them both.

00:45:00.000 If you're a book burner, you can't have both those books in the library, but, but it's, it's all just weapons.

00:45:05.000 How do you explain to a zealot?

00:45:07.000 You know what I mean?

00:45:08.000 I remember, uh, My whole life, there's never been a real issue, as far as I could tell, about... I mean, there's been some peripheral issues about prayer in school, like, oh, it shouldn't happen.

00:45:18.000 But most people were like, okay, public schools shouldn't do that.

00:45:20.000 We get it.

00:45:21.000 Fine.

00:45:21.000 Whatever.

00:45:22.000 But now you have... That's a new thing, man.

00:45:24.000 But now we have prayer in schools.

00:45:26.000 They're just contemplating on whiteness, which as far as I'm concerned is no different. 0.93

00:45:30.000 Right.

00:45:30.000 Well, it's a really fascinating thing to see how the woke thing is really a religion with sacrament and ritual and visual representations and all these things that echo religious experiences.

00:45:44.000 And what it really tells me, which is something that I have learned over these last several years, is that God, man, you need it.

00:45:52.000 It's there.

00:45:53.000 You need it.

00:45:54.000 There's a hole in us that needs to be filled and we all yearn for some sort of understanding of the universe that makes us not feel insignificant.

00:46:03.000 One of the most incredible things that I've discovered as I've been reading the Bible and praying and trying to understand Him and come to some level of faith, Is that, uh, instead of like coming up with a model of the world to justify my behaviors or justify my actions or, or perceptions, there's like a ready-made model that unites you with the universe, with creation, with living a good life, with having good outcomes.

00:46:28.000 And that is actually really comforting to know that the system has been in place for a long time and it works for a lot of people.

00:46:34.000 And when you come across somebody that really believes and really practices, you can feel that energy come right out of their face.

00:46:39.000 It's incredible.

00:46:40.000 I don't think everyone needs religion or needs God, but I think most people probably need something.

00:46:48.000 They need some version of this faith system.

00:46:52.000 I've talked to a lot of people about psychedelics and psilocybin and stuff like that, and they're like, man, people really need this stuff.

00:47:00.000 Yeah, I don't think I do.

00:47:03.000 People say it's very good, it can open your mind.

00:47:05.000 And I'm like, yeah, I don't think I need that to consider new ideas or change my opinions and be open to exploring this.

00:47:12.000 Maybe that's just me.

00:47:13.000 I personally don't feel like I need to have any kind of guiding faith force in my life.

00:47:18.000 That being said, I do believe in God.

00:47:20.000 That's why you don't feel any need for it, brother.

00:47:23.000 Maybe, maybe that's it.

00:47:25.000 Maybe I, you know, I guess people who lack that are lost and scared and confused.

00:47:29.000 Yeah.

00:47:30.000 Because if you think about it, you're just a lump of cells on a planet in a cold, dark, infinite universe.

00:47:35.000 If you really put yourself in that, it is, but if you put yourself there for no reason and no purpose randomly by accident, well, yeah.

00:47:43.000 Life's insignificant and you're facing the infinite, infinite, but that's, that's purpose.

00:47:47.000 That's not God.

00:47:48.000 You know what I mean?

00:47:48.000 You can believe in God and still believe that you have no purpose.

00:47:53.000 Hmm.

00:47:54.000 I don't like purpose.

00:47:55.000 So, so maybe purpose is a better purpose and meaning are two different things.

00:47:58.000 I guess.

00:47:59.000 Maybe some people find their purpose through God and some people have nothing.

00:48:04.000 And so they create purpose and ideology.

00:48:06.000 You know, what's interesting is that mood follows motion, activity is life, and the Christians say, love thy neighbor.

00:48:12.000 So if you love your other neighbor and you act it and you put it into motion and you become active in this regard, you get filled with the love and energy that makes those questions go away.

00:48:25.000 You just don't think about it because you're filled with good energy.

00:48:28.000 It's incredible.

00:48:29.000 The cult members hope that once they purge people like you and I or everyone who's watching, they will have a pure utopia world.

00:48:39.000 Because I'll tell you, communism Can work.

00:48:44.000 It can't.

00:48:44.000 Scale.

00:48:45.000 It's all about scale.

00:48:45.000 No, no, no, but at a very, very large scale of even a billion people, communism can work.

00:48:51.000 It's very simple. 0.99

00:48:52.000 You just have to kill anyone who opposes it. 1.00

00:48:54.000 Right, exactly. 0.99

00:48:55.000 And so, literally it means it doesn't work because you have to kill everybody, but that's why they always do it.

00:49:00.000 Because when the communists gain power, they say, what's stopping us from having everyone march in lockstep like worker ants? 0.81

00:49:09.000 It's these free-thinking dissidents.

00:49:11.000 Yeah.

00:49:12.000 My good friend Joe Norman, who is a complexity scientist and teaches people complexity science, you should check him out.

00:49:17.000 Joe Norman.

00:49:18.000 He's been on my podcast, Jack Murphy Live, a couple of times.

00:49:20.000 What he's taught me is that everything is about scale.

00:49:23.000 Everything is about scale.

00:49:25.000 One idea can work at one scale and it won't work at a different scale.

00:49:28.000 In my family, it is communist.

00:49:32.000 It's expected that I can deliver the goods and everybody else gets what they need according to their needs.

00:49:37.000 And that's beautiful.

00:49:38.000 And I love it.

00:49:39.000 It's perfect.

00:49:40.000 But as the scale gets bigger and bigger and bigger, you need a different forming algorithm or forming ideology.

00:49:47.000 It's simple, bro.

00:49:48.000 Imagine if someone was like, a car is a tool that can go from point A to point B. I need to move 3,000 pounds of bricks and I have a car.

00:49:57.000 It should work, right?

00:49:58.000 It's like, no, you need a different vehicle for that process.

00:50:01.000 Right.

00:50:01.000 No, that's exactly right.

00:50:02.000 So if our goal is to move resources from person to person on a small family level, yeah, it's great.

00:50:08.000 You're a commune.

00:50:09.000 You're a family.

00:50:10.000 Someone's the boss.

00:50:12.000 There's varying degrees of who's in charge, depending on what resources you have, and everyone gets what they need.

00:50:16.000 But if you want to move resources in a large scale civilization, you need capitalism.

00:50:22.000 Right.

00:50:22.000 The funny thing is the left doesn't know what the word capitalism means.

00:50:25.000 And I think that's part of the indoctrination.

00:50:27.000 Change definitions and you can confuse people.

00:50:30.000 So it's funny when you see leftists complain about communism, but call it capitalism.

00:50:35.000 Right.

00:50:36.000 They complain about the state controlling resources and colluding with the powerful elites to dictate who gets what.

00:50:44.000 And they're like, it's capitalism, man!

00:50:46.000 It's like capitalism just very plainly means, and I believe capitalism came from Marx anyway, very plainly means the private trade of goods, meaning an individual can trade freely as they choose, period.

00:50:59.000 We are not in a pure capitalist system, by the way.

00:51:01.000 Not even close.

00:51:02.000 Yeah.

00:51:02.000 We're in a, we're in a very constructed and controlled economy.

00:51:05.000 Right.

00:51:05.000 Well, and the government works to pick winners and losers and especially pick losers.

00:51:10.000 We're feeling that you can't even work if you don't do exactly what we say.

00:51:15.000 This is an issue for sure.

00:51:17.000 And of course, we've evolved into like an oligarchic state.

00:51:20.000 It's corporate feudalism.

00:51:21.000 And you don't even really going to own anything, which is what they want.

00:51:24.000 Private.

00:51:25.000 It's interesting.

00:51:25.000 I had a conversation with Alexander Dugin, a Russian philosopher.

00:51:28.000 People call him Putin's lapdog, whatever.

00:51:31.000 He and I talked about this very issue and he said that he wants to get rid of capitalism.

00:51:35.000 And I was like, well, you know, you might not have a lot of fans over here in the United States.

00:51:39.000 If you keep talking about getting rid of capitalism, he's like, no, no, no.

00:51:42.000 I don't mean get rid of private property.

00:51:45.000 I just mean get rid of what's happened today.

00:51:47.000 What capitalism has turned into.

00:51:49.000 And that got my interest a little bit.

00:51:52.000 And you know, the guy's a little crazy and he's got some seriously out there ideas and he's done some probably pretty bad things.

00:51:57.000 But he was interesting to talk to because, you know, he's an influential guy.

00:52:01.000 And I can see how inequality, the concentration of wealth in the hands of very few people, leads to negative outcomes.

00:52:10.000 And of course, we would want more people to share in the bounty that we've created.

00:52:15.000 But if you believe in humanity, if you believe in individuals, then you will believe in individual outcomes, and you will believe in differing outcomes.

00:52:22.000 And the founders were very clear on this.

00:52:24.000 Different faculties lead to different outcomes, and we need to preserve that.

00:52:28.000 Let's talk about Mr. Elon Musk.

00:52:30.000 Oh my gosh.

00:52:30.000 From CNBC, Elon Musk says he will pay over $11 billion in taxes this year.

00:52:34.000 Did you see the Babylon Bee interview they did with him?

00:52:36.000 I did.

00:52:37.000 I saw a little bit of it where the guys sitting around interviewing him were so cringe, actually.

00:52:43.000 They're like, uh, we don't even know why we're talking to you.

00:52:47.000 I was like, bro, he's there.

00:52:49.000 He agreed.

00:52:50.000 You just need to ask questions with confidence.

00:52:52.000 But I didn't, I didn't see all that.

00:52:55.000 But uh, Elon, come on the show, man.

00:52:57.000 Um, I tweeted at Elon once.

00:52:59.000 He tweeted at me.

00:53:01.000 We're friends!

00:53:03.000 And together, you guys are going to pay $12 billion in taxes this year.

00:53:05.000 That's right.

00:53:07.000 So I'm disappointed in this.

00:53:08.000 I think Elon should not have done this.

00:53:11.000 He did it to make a point and to try and defang people like Elizabeth Warren, which, OK, I suppose is still a good thing.

00:53:17.000 Here's what I think happened.

00:53:19.000 They've been saying people who are wealthy should pay taxes on their wealth, the wealth tax.

00:53:22.000 So Elon Musk was like, okay, should I liquidate my stock and then pay taxes on it?

00:53:27.000 And people were like, do it. He said, okay, I will. So he ends up giving the government $11

00:53:31.000 billion in taxes, which empowers really awful people to make a point. I suppose, I suppose,

00:53:38.000 in that, in that, uh, it's a very expensive point. I think it's so expensive that you might want to

00:53:43.000 think that there's a different motive there. I, I.

00:53:46.000 Maybe he's been waiting to liquidate those assets and this gave him a good reason to do it, etc.

00:53:51.000 You never know.

00:53:51.000 You never know when he's making tweets about crypto markets.

00:53:53.000 I don't think he cares about the money.

00:53:55.000 There's a certain amount of money where you don't care.

00:53:57.000 But to him, money means Mars.

00:54:00.000 Money means space.

00:54:01.000 Money means advancing the universe.

00:54:03.000 Just like you tell me, Tim, you know, you tell me you're not all about the money.

00:54:07.000 What you're all about is building new things, creating new opportunities, starting these nonprofits, having a serious impact on the world.

00:54:13.000 You're a philanthropist already.

00:54:14.000 He's a philanthropist and somebody who's working towards the betterment of society, I believe.

00:54:18.000 Sure, sure.

00:54:19.000 So what I was going to say in the Babylon Bee interview, he talks about how he came to be worth so much money and the richest person in the world.

00:54:26.000 And he said, he doesn't have the money.

00:54:29.000 He started a company.

00:54:30.000 He owns, I think what is he on?

00:54:32.000 20% of the stock or something.

00:54:34.000 And he's like, I own 20% of the stock in a company.

00:54:37.000 The investors decided the company was worth $1 trillion.

00:54:40.000 So my stock is worth $200 billion.

00:54:43.000 I didn't do anything.

00:54:44.000 I don't have any money.

00:54:45.000 They've just decided that.

00:54:47.000 And now we get Elizabeth Warren being like, he's not paying any taxes 0.94

00:54:52.000 because she is a despicable person. 1.00

00:54:55.000 Because you know she knows. 0.98

00:54:56.000 She sold out Bernie Sanders and they still, they still come for her.

00:54:59.000 You know she understands the difference between paper investment gains and actual earned income.

00:55:05.000 You know, she knows the difference between these things.

00:55:07.000 Did, uh, did the bill pass that had the clause in it that said that we were going to be taxed on unrealized capital gains?

00:55:15.000 I don't think so.

00:55:16.000 I haven't heard it anymore.

00:55:17.000 Because the bill that says that you're going to be taxed on your mileage driven that did pass.

00:55:21.000 Yeah, that did pass.

00:55:22.000 There's provision in there to create a pilot program to test out the best way to tax people on their mileage driven.

00:55:29.000 And the number that they were tossing around was insane.

00:55:31.000 It was something like eight cents a mile.

00:55:33.000 That's like 2000 bucks a year for the average person.

00:55:36.000 Elon basically is coming out now saying, I've paid more taxes than any other person in history and Elizabeth Warren doesn't pay taxes.

00:55:45.000 But she'll still keep lying because these people are evil.

00:55:48.000 And Elon Musk did this to make a point, but it doesn't matter, dude.

00:55:52.000 There's a very interesting analysis to be made of who, where, is it for the betterment of society that the government now has that 11 billion or if Elon Musk had that 11 billion?

00:56:03.000 So the Young Turks had on Ari the Rugged Man to capitalize.

00:56:07.000 After?

00:56:08.000 No!

00:56:09.000 Yeah, and Cenk was like looking at the camera constantly like just trying to bait me into a drama thing.

00:56:14.000 Oh my god.

00:56:15.000 I don't think like he knows at all who I am or whatever.

00:56:18.000 But so what I decided to do is, I had so many people saying like, you don't need to prove anything Tim!

00:56:25.000 You don't need to respond to them!

00:56:26.000 And I'm like, no no no, hold on.

00:56:28.000 So, you know, the rugged man comes on the show and he says, my experience has never happened.

00:56:32.000 I'm lying.

00:56:33.000 And I'm like, I just find it really funny that like they admit and acknowledge I am mixed race.

00:56:38.000 They admit and acknowledge he is a white man and that they agree with him when he laughs at someone who says I'm mixed race and I experienced racism.

00:56:46.000 I want that, that narrative to persist.

00:56:49.000 I'm glad the young Turks made that video. 0.99

00:56:51.000 God, those guys are so trashy.

00:56:52.000 So I did a video with my sister, and I put it up at 1pm on youtube.com slash timcastnews, 40 minutes long, where we basically talk about our childhood growing up and why I wanted to address the Young Turks. 0.90

00:57:04.000 And I didn't do it to prove any point necessarily to them.

00:57:08.000 I don't need the Young Turks to believe me. 1.00

00:57:12.000 I need you To believe me.

00:57:15.000 What I mean by this is, when the Young Turks come out and they say Tim Pool lied and made all this stuff up, there will be people watching saying, yeah, I wonder if he really did lie and make that stuff up.

00:57:25.000 And I'll say, okay, I will have my sister on, and we will talk about everything we've been through, as embarrassing as it is for my family and whatever people end up thinking about us, because I'm telling you the truth.

00:57:36.000 And I want people to then look at the Young Turks and see how they're despicable racists, and I want them to look at me and my family and say, these people are talking about the true struggles they've been through.

00:57:46.000 The reason I bring that up is because when people started commenting and saying, like, you don't need to prove anything to them, they are 100% correct.

00:57:54.000 I didn't do it to prove anything to the Young Turks. 0.75

00:57:57.000 I did it so regular people can see it.

00:58:00.000 I kind of feel like Elon might be doing some of that to sort of, like, let people know he's not that guy.

00:58:06.000 You know, to use the meme.

00:58:08.000 He's not the dude who's going to exploit everybody and take all this money, and that he's more interested in going to space, and it just so happens he has this money.

00:58:17.000 I do kind of feel like part of it, though, was to prove a point to the Democrats, and he gave the government money, which he didn't need to do.

00:58:23.000 He did not need to sell billions of dollars in stock and then pay the government all this money.

00:58:29.000 He could have just kept it in stock and said, I have no reason to take the money out.

00:58:33.000 I mean, if he's paying $11 billion in taxes, how much did he liquidate and how much did he end up in his pocket?

00:58:38.000 You gotta sell a lot of stock to pay $11 billion in taxes.

00:58:42.000 $11 billion in taxes.

00:58:42.000 Or 20%, right?

00:58:43.000 20% capital gains or is it a little bit higher?

00:58:45.000 Yeah, I think it's $28,000 because it might be higher than that.

00:58:48.000 It might be way higher than that because of Biden.

00:58:51.000 It might actually be like $40,000 or something.

00:58:53.000 He netted a good bit.

00:58:56.000 Yo, people need to understand what a billion dollars is.

00:58:59.000 It's a thousand millions.

00:59:00.000 It's crazy.

00:59:01.000 You would not be able to spend it.

00:59:03.000 I'm not exaggerating.

00:59:04.000 You would not be able to spend it.

00:59:07.000 People don't get this, man.

00:59:08.000 There was this thread about... Well, it depends on what you're doing, right?

00:59:10.000 Because that new Tesla factory apparently is like some 10,000 football fields in size.

00:59:16.000 I mean, I'm exaggerating, but I think it's something as insane as that, right?

00:59:19.000 I don't think you'd be able to spend it.

00:59:22.000 As an individual consumer, yeah.

00:59:25.000 As an individual, so if you as a business are seeking to build a factory that's a thousand football fields or whatever, the logistics in that is going to be way beyond one person making a purchase.

00:59:38.000 This is going to be a massive undertaking of different companies and different CEOs.

00:59:44.000 An individual would not be able to spend that money.

00:59:47.000 Elon Musk liquidating this money, he's probably shrugging saying, I don't know.

00:59:51.000 Because bro, a super yacht, what do those go for?

00:59:53.000 Like 30 million or something?

00:59:54.000 30 million?

00:59:56.000 So what, you got 970 million left?

00:59:58.000 Like, I guess you can buy 10 of them, but then you got to maintain them.

01:00:02.000 Like, it's just, there's a certain amount of wealth where you're sitting there confused as to what you're even doing.

01:00:07.000 Well, you have to hire people to figure out how to spend it.

01:00:09.000 Yeah, I guess.

01:00:10.000 You hire people to figure out how to manage it, you hire people to figure out how to spend it, and then you hire people to figure out how to defend it, and then where to invest it.

01:00:19.000 This is where the idea of a family office comes in.

01:00:21.000 These people literally have to hire folks to manage their money.

01:00:24.000 For what?

01:00:24.000 For philanthropy eventually, right?

01:00:26.000 I suppose.

01:00:27.000 You know, I feel like when you're at the point where Elon's at, I wonder why doesn't Elon take a billion dollars and say, who wants to start a media organization to go after the fake news and the liars?

01:00:37.000 Well, I mean, isn't he, I know Peter Thiel at least has used some of his money to his foundation, which is for education, which is to produce new entrepreneurs.

01:00:46.000 So, you know, they're, they're giving pieces back.

01:00:48.000 I think maybe they have different priorities, you know, they have different priorities in terms of what their philanthropy can do and how it can affect the world.

01:00:55.000 These are smart guys making calculated decisions.

01:00:57.000 There's no question about that.

01:00:58.000 If I had a billion dollars, I would know exactly how to begin allocating things towards solving a lot of these problems.

01:01:07.000 And so I suppose it's as simple as Elon Musk wants to go to Mars.

01:01:10.000 He has a different perspective on what the problems are, and that's something his company has to do.

01:01:15.000 But my point is to be someone like Elon and know they're lying.

01:01:19.000 Know the media lies all the time.

01:01:20.000 Yeah.

01:01:21.000 And to have the ability to effectively snap your fingers and challenge that machine.

01:01:27.000 But he can already do that with Twitter and social media.

01:01:29.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, he can't.

01:01:32.000 Look, how much did Bezos buy the Washington Post for?

01:01:35.000 A couple hundred million?

01:01:35.000 Yeah, peanuts basically.

01:01:36.000 Peanuts?

01:01:37.000 Well, I mean relative to his net worth.

01:01:39.000 Elon Musk could be like, I could fund that three times over and set up three Washington Post operations that'll operate indefinitely.

01:01:45.000 The Guardian operates off an endowment.

01:01:47.000 They just generate interest off of all the money they have that helps fund everything.

01:01:51.000 Elon Musk could literally be like, Okay, here's a billion dollars towards the Babylon Bee guys.

01:01:57.000 Hey, you know people who are challenging the machine.

01:02:00.000 You guys make jokes about it all day.

01:02:02.000 Figure it out.

01:02:02.000 Maybe he doesn't see it as a problem like you do.

01:02:05.000 Maybe it's just not on his radar.

01:02:06.000 And maybe he's being more efficient with his capital allocation.

01:02:11.000 Who knows?

01:02:11.000 Maybe you just can't be everything to everybody.

01:02:13.000 Why am I over here carrying water for you?

01:02:16.000 Like, I have no idea.

01:02:17.000 I think he's a cool dude.

01:02:17.000 I like him.

01:02:18.000 I don't think he's perfect. 0.53

01:02:19.000 I think he does a lot of dumb stuff, but I think he's a good dude.

01:02:22.000 And I think he's genuine. 0.97

01:02:24.000 He wants to try and he wants to be honest.

01:02:25.000 That's why he's giving away all this.

01:02:27.000 That's why he liquidated these assets and is paying the billions in taxes.

01:02:30.000 You know what I liked about the fact that he did the Babylon Bee interview?

01:02:34.000 He's like, oh, well, I read all your stuff.

01:02:37.000 Right?

01:02:38.000 It's not like he needs to go on the show to sell anything or to pimp anything or whatever, you know, but he goes on the show because he's like, they, they, he, he quoted back to them their own headlines.

01:02:49.000 I know.

01:02:49.000 And, and they're like, wow, the one guy was like, wow, you, you know, our content better, better than we do.

01:02:54.000 And that's just hilarious to me.

01:02:55.000 It really was actually humanizing.

01:02:58.000 Maybe he did it just for fun, but maybe it's the same reason that Northrop Grumman puts advertisements on Hulu, just so that we all just get accustomed to thinking Northrop Grumman is a good thing, because I'm not buying F-16s.

01:03:08.000 I don't know about you.

01:03:09.000 Someone super chatted, if I had Elon's money, Gundams would be real and functional.

01:03:13.000 Do you know what a Gundam is?

01:03:14.000 A Gundam?

01:03:15.000 A Gundam.

01:03:16.000 Is that like a gun kingdom?

01:03:17.000 It's a gigantic robot from an anime.

01:03:22.000 The pilots are in gigantic mechanized, you know, giant robots.

01:03:25.000 Like Voltron kind of?

01:03:26.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:03:27.000 And yes, I tweeted at Elon Musk, why haven't you built an Iron Man suit yet?

01:03:32.000 And he responded, building Starship.

01:03:34.000 And then I said, that is an acceptable response.

01:03:37.000 That is acceptable.

01:03:38.000 That's cool.

01:03:39.000 Cause my point was basically like, why aren't you going crazy? 0.87

01:03:42.000 Like you have, you're, you're an eccentric dude.

01:03:44.000 Why aren't you just being like, it is time.

01:03:49.000 Work is life.

01:03:50.000 And if you're that guy, or if you're me, or if you're somebody else who's working nine to five, work is life.

01:03:56.000 Get up, work hard, be tired.

01:03:58.000 That is I get it. I get it. I get it. If I had a billion dollars, you know, I would do I would hire a prank monkey

01:04:03.000 like mr Burns, you ever see that Simpsons episode where he hires

01:04:06.000 Homer as his prank monkey And then he like he's like, you know Homer splash Lenny and

01:04:14.000 then he does then mr Burns laughs and then Homer splashes car and goes good God

01:04:18.000 man That's Carl and then he's like he helps Carl to the

01:04:21.000 chemical watch. You know what I would do. I'd hire a prank monkey

01:04:23.000 What would their job be I'd be like I want you to just culture jam

01:04:27.000 Bye billboards!

01:04:29.000 Buy commercials.

01:04:29.000 Culture jam.

01:04:31.000 Do things that shock people out of their routine.

01:04:34.000 I want someone driving down Sunset Boulevard to see like a billboard that is confusing as confusing can be.

01:04:39.000 Just weird, disruptive, confusing stuff.

01:04:43.000 Just kind of like to shake society by the shoulders and be like, this is nuts.

01:04:47.000 You know what I would do if I had a billion dollars?

01:04:49.000 I would buy every billboard in Times Square and say, vaccine mandates are wrong.

01:04:55.000 You know, that's an interesting thing to consider.

01:04:57.000 That doesn't cost that much money!

01:04:59.000 Would they sell them to you?

01:05:01.000 Knowing that that's what you were going to say.

01:05:03.000 Didn't Veritas have one?

01:05:05.000 Yeah, they did, I think.

01:05:05.000 Did they?

01:05:06.000 Project Veritas, did they get a Times Square thing?

01:05:08.000 I don't remember.

01:05:09.000 I do remember they had a billboard.

01:05:12.000 Did you see the funding that they achieved for this?

01:05:16.000 $22 million!

01:05:17.000 Bro, that is a good chunk of change.

01:05:20.000 That is a lot of operatives in the field.

01:05:23.000 Yeah, Veritas had a Times Square billboard.

01:05:26.000 Oh, snap! 1.00

01:05:26.000 Yeah, COVID gangbusters with their ratings. 1.00

01:05:28.000 Yep.

01:05:29.000 Twitter banned us.

01:05:30.000 They can't ban the truth.

01:05:31.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:05:32.000 Money talks, baby.

01:05:33.000 Maybe some of them wouldn't, but you could do so much to change the world for the better if you had this money, and they don't do it.

01:05:42.000 But you, sir, are doing it bit by bit with what you've got.

01:05:45.000 They do do it, and they doo-doo all over it.

01:05:49.000 Mackenzie Bezos putting billions of dollars into critical race theory.

01:05:51.000 Right.

01:05:52.000 Yeah, it's just the problem is even Jack.

01:05:56.000 Yep, that's right.

01:05:57.000 He funded that that Academy or something.

01:05:58.000 Jack Dorsey funded Ibrahim Kendi.

01:06:01.000 Yep.

01:06:01.000 To the tune of millions and millions and millions of dollars.

01:06:06.000 And that means that means Jack Dorsey is on the wrong side.

01:06:10.000 Jack Dorsey's evil.

01:06:12.000 Jack Dorsey is trying to lead America off the cliff.

01:06:15.000 He's trying. 1.00

01:06:16.000 Well, I think you basically have is a really dumb guy. 1.00

01:06:20.000 Jack? 1.00

01:06:21.000 Yeah.

01:06:22.000 Who's like leading people towards their destruction thinking he's helping them.

01:06:25.000 Oh, you know, um, I don't I don't mean like, I guess I guess it's a little bit too blunt. 1.00

01:06:31.000 Dumb guy. 1.00

01:06:32.000 Come on. 1.00

01:06:33.000 Ignorant. 1.00

01:06:34.000 There you go. 1.00

01:06:34.000 Big difference. 1.00

01:06:35.000 That's what I was saying.

01:06:35.000 A little too lowbrow, a little too blunt.

01:06:37.000 I think in a lot of ways he's a smart dude.

01:06:40.000 He started Twitter and he started Square and they're very successful.

01:06:44.000 Square is one of the most successful financial processing companies. 0.99

01:06:49.000 But to be as blind and ignorant in politics and to fund this evil? 0.99

01:06:54.000 Like, come on. 1.00

01:06:55.000 Dumb might be a little blunt, but it's a little emotional too. 0.96

01:06:58.000 Where's Peter Thiel and Elon Musk doing the inverse? 0.97

01:07:03.000 Elon Musk goes in the Babylon Bee.

01:07:04.000 Okay, Elon, dude, give the Babylon Bee guys like a hundred million bucks. 0.99

01:07:08.000 I think Peter does a lot of stuff behind the scenes.

01:07:10.000 Sure.

01:07:11.000 I think so.

01:07:11.000 He funds things.

01:07:12.000 He pushes agendas.

01:07:14.000 I think he's more savvy in this regard than Jack, for sure.

01:07:22.000 Elon Musk, give the Babylon Bee a hundred million dollars.

01:07:25.000 But look, we're suffering from the same problem that a lot of people have, which is like, why won't that guy do something?

01:07:32.000 The thing is, is that you're already doing something.

01:07:34.000 So I'm not diminishing what you're doing.

01:07:36.000 I'm doing what I can do.

01:07:37.000 Everybody needs to do what they can do.

01:07:39.000 They have to do their little part.

01:07:40.000 They have to do their medium part.

01:07:41.000 They have to do their big part.

01:07:43.000 And we can't just sit around and be like, well, why doesn't the trillionaire do it?

01:07:46.000 And, and that's not you.

01:07:47.000 And that's not me.

01:07:48.000 And that's not the people that we know, but I just, you know, I think it's very easy for people to take the position of like, well, why isn't he doing it?

01:07:55.000 When is the savior going to come?

01:07:57.000 When is the daddy figure going to come fix everything for us?

01:08:01.000 You have to, as Ronald Reagan said, all meaningful change, positive change in America starts at the dining room table.

01:08:08.000 I get it.

01:08:09.000 And that's where we have to start.

01:08:10.000 I agree, but what I mean is, so we're certainly doing stuff.

01:08:14.000 We've got two foundations.

01:08:15.000 We've got the Technology Foundation, which is the On Foundation, which is building tech.

01:08:20.000 We've got an Alpha that's in production, which will create a decentralized social media system.

01:08:25.000 It will effectively give everyone a snap of a finger subscription website that interlinks with other websites, so you'll never be banned.

01:08:33.000 You go on Patreon, you can get banned.

01:08:34.000 You go on Locals, you can get banned.

01:08:35.000 You go on any one of these platforms, you can get banned.

01:08:37.000 If you own the space, if you own the domains and own all that, they have to ban you one at a time.

01:08:43.000 The domain host has to remove your domain.

01:08:45.000 The server company has to kick you off the servers.

01:08:47.000 You know, all of those things have to have your cloud, you know, storage.

01:08:50.000 If you have all of these decentralized, it's harder to remove you and you can even own the servers in your own home.

01:08:56.000 That's the one thing we're doing.

01:08:57.000 We also have the Truth in Media Foundation, which is going to be a fact-checking website, and we are going to fact-check all of these deceptive and manipulative news articles.

01:09:07.000 They say, oh, we're trying to stop misinformation.

01:09:09.000 We're like, well, we're going to do that.

01:09:10.000 We're actually going to do it.

01:09:12.000 And we're going to track and we're going to label these companies.

01:09:15.000 That's something that I can do, and it's not easy to do.

01:09:18.000 It's been very expensive.

01:09:20.000 Filing all this stuff, dedicating all the hours to doing the paperwork, to running two different nonprofits.

01:09:24.000 It's massive.

01:09:25.000 And I don't have a billion dollars.

01:09:28.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:09:30.000 As this company grows and more and more people become members at TimCast.com and support our work, those funds are being allocated towards expanding the work we do.

01:09:41.000 So, like, what's the expense that we have?

01:09:44.000 Like, we have all these members.

01:09:45.000 We're making money.

01:09:46.000 I'm building a production facility in West Virginia that's going to do multiple things.

01:09:51.000 One of the reasons why I want to do West Virginia?

01:09:53.000 Freedom.

01:09:54.000 One of the other reasons I want to do West Virginia?

01:09:56.000 I want to bring good jobs to the area.

01:09:58.000 I want to help people in the area.

01:10:00.000 I want to improve the economy.

01:10:01.000 And West Virginia is one of the poorest states in the country so I thought this is an excellent opportunity because you've got good land, you've got good people, you've got freedom, we've got people who share values, and we can empower this in more ways than just having a news company.

01:10:15.000 One of the ways to empower our ideals is to make sure there are good jobs and a good economy for the people who agree with us on our ideals.

01:10:22.000 So for every dollar I put into this area, That's awesome, Tim.

01:10:25.000 goes to a contractor who you know who lays concrete. He spends that dollar at

01:10:29.000 the local burger shop for lunch. The burger shop then gets to hire a

01:10:32.000 contractor to fix their building. All of that stays and circulates in that

01:10:36.000 economy and I want to bring that economy out here. That's awesome Tim. I remember

01:10:39.000 on our very first time when I was the first guest on the show back in February

01:10:42.000 2020 I brought up my dream of having a building a village 80 acres with a river

01:10:49.000 with a canal through it.

01:10:50.000 That's all you need.

01:10:51.000 You can put tens of thousands of people there.

01:10:53.000 And, uh, dude, kudos to you for like really pushing that ball forward.

01:10:56.000 We've been looking at land in West Virginia and Southwestern Virginia and, uh, trying to move things for my time.

01:11:02.000 My timeline is, is a little slower than yours.

01:11:04.000 Cause my kids and proximity and all that, but there's, there's a nice work, bro.

01:11:07.000 There's, there's like a hundred acres for, you know, like 300 grand.

01:11:10.000 Yeah.

01:11:11.000 I'm not going to pretend like for the average person they can just snap their fingers and do it, but if you can get the loan to mortgage the property... My issue isn't like the act of acquiring the land.

01:11:22.000 It's like, is it time for me to start tilling the land?

01:11:25.000 Right?

01:11:25.000 Because I've got young kids and we've got kids in school and I'm tied to the area and I want to be with them.

01:11:31.000 I'm hugely invested in their lives and being there every single day.

01:11:34.000 It's just not time for me to move to West Virginia and start So, to kind of put a bow on what we were talking about, my main point is we do not have the level of resources anywhere near 99% of even other media companies.

01:11:46.000 real estate development too.

01:11:47.000 So like it's just like right in my wheelhouse.

01:11:49.000 So, so to kind of put a bow on what we were talking about.

01:11:52.000 My, my main point is we, we do not have the level of resources anywhere near 99%

01:11:59.000 of even other media companies.

01:12:01.000 Like, you know you, you look at some of these traditional media outlets, Fox

01:12:06.000 news, they have a skyscraper.

01:12:09.000 They have all this money.

01:12:10.000 What are they really doing?

01:12:11.000 They just rolled out a VAX mandate for all of their employees.

01:12:14.000 And people are like, but New York's making them do it.

01:12:16.000 Oh, BS. 0.96

01:12:17.000 Fox News could say, screw off. 0.92

01:12:19.000 We got more lawyers than you do. 0.97

01:12:20.000 Come at us.

01:12:22.000 And the city would be like, ugh, are we going to go to war with Fox?

01:12:25.000 Fox doesn't care.

01:12:26.000 Fox bends the knee.

01:12:28.000 So when I'm pushing the limit, As hard as possible.

01:12:32.000 You know what I could be doing, and what everyone tells me I should be doing?

01:12:35.000 When we have money come in in profits, they're like, you gotta put it away, you gotta hire a money manager, invest for your future, Tim.

01:12:42.000 Invest for your future.

01:12:44.000 Because you're not gonna work forever, and I'm like, I wanna invest in things that are gonna have a long-standing impact for everyone.

01:12:49.000 So, you know, when we build this building and this facility, I'll say, the improvements we do on it for actually this building for instance that we you know we have a loan on it of course the improvements we've done on it have made it less likely to be sold yeah of course you put an escape park in the basement well we want to we want to be exciting we want to inspire young people yeah we want to make it a fun cool place to be right we want everything we do to be right that's a loss that's a loss for you

01:13:15.000 Right.

01:13:15.000 Like, so for example, Jack Brunch, I have made money.

01:13:18.000 I want to, I wanted a skate park, bro.

01:13:20.000 I got it.

01:13:21.000 I like on Jack Brunch.

01:13:22.000 I made one.

01:13:22.000 I made money off of one because we had a sponsor, a platinum sponsor, every other single Jack Brunch.

01:13:28.000 No, the fact, even though we had 80, 90 people at each one, they're all losses for me.

01:13:32.000 Yeah.

01:13:32.000 Because I wanted to deliver more than I was willing to ask from people.

01:13:37.000 I'm talking thousands and thousands of dollars we lost because we put out these massive spreads, bottomless drinks.

01:13:42.000 I mean, man, we just wanted to make the thing happen.

01:13:46.000 And so I understand this sense to give back.

01:13:48.000 And in fact, we all should be giving back.

01:13:50.000 Charity is a value we should be doing.

01:13:52.000 And if it doesn't hurt, it's not enough.

01:13:54.000 Well, it's, it's, I want to plant trees.

01:13:57.000 That's it.

01:13:57.000 And that's what the tour was about.

01:13:59.000 No, no, no.

01:14:00.000 Check it out.

01:14:00.000 You know, the saying goes, society grows great when, you know, men plant trees whose shade they know they will never sit beneath.

01:14:06.000 Indeed.

01:14:06.000 A person plants trees.

01:14:07.000 That's right.

01:14:08.000 No, only men.

01:14:09.000 Only men.

01:14:09.000 Only men can plant trees.

01:14:10.000 But this building that we're putting together is going to be fun for us.

01:14:14.000 We're gonna have a good time there.

01:14:16.000 One of the reasons we want to do this is because we want to be in West Virginia.

01:14:19.000 Like I said, you know, building an economy and expanding, but also creating an easy way to invite people out.

01:14:25.000 We wanted to do it here.

01:14:26.000 We were like in March, hey, we're gonna have events here.

01:14:28.000 We couldn't do it.

01:14:29.000 We tried and we tried and we tried and it was just like your risk assessment is 89% and we are getting denied insurance and all this stuff.

01:14:35.000 With the new building, we don't have to worry about any of that.

01:14:38.000 Gotcha.

01:14:39.000 And so this is like, okay, we're going to once a week, we're going to have like a reservation list where you can choose, you know, as a member, you can come out and come hang out at the studio and be involved and get to meet everybody.

01:14:50.000 And it's going to be this big building.

01:14:51.000 It's going to be amazing.

01:14:53.000 25 foot walls, 36 foot ceiling.

01:14:55.000 You're going to be hanging out with a big projector screen.

01:14:57.000 You're going to be able to see us in the studio through the big glass window.

01:15:00.000 We are building this stuff because we want to inspire people and make sure our ideas are, you know, the seed is planted and they flourish.

01:15:08.000 It's not so much about just giving back.

01:15:09.000 It's about we get to enjoy what we do and the fruits of our labor, but we're going to leave something behind for everyone else, too.

01:15:16.000 That's one of the reasons I think West Virginia is so important.

01:15:19.000 If I were to set this business up in New Jersey and then 50 years from now I'm dead or whatever, who in New Jersey would inherit that and what would they do with it?

01:15:26.000 They'd become like Fox News.

01:15:28.000 They would be like, we are challenging the establishment.

01:15:32.000 What was that establishment?

01:15:33.000 You want us to implement a vaccine mandate?

01:15:34.000 You got it, boss.

01:15:35.000 Now in West Virginia, for at least the time being, people are going to be like, get away from us, freedom.

01:15:39.000 Right.

01:15:40.000 West Virginia, beautiful country.

01:15:42.000 I'm headed there in just a couple of weeks for the holidays.

01:15:45.000 Love it.

01:15:47.000 Love it.

01:15:48.000 West Virginia, man.

01:15:48.000 Yeah.

01:15:49.000 Good for you, Tim.

01:15:49.000 It's better weather than, look, everybody's moving to Florida or Texas.

01:15:53.000 And I'm like, man, Florida, Texas, and Tennessee.

01:15:56.000 That's what I keep hearing.

01:15:57.000 Guys in the LO have been flocking to Tennessee.

01:16:00.000 Tennessee's alright.

01:16:02.000 From New York, from Portland, from all over the country to Tennessee.

01:16:05.000 It's beautiful, man.

01:16:06.000 But I gotta tell you, man, I think Florida and Texas, I just think it's a mistake.

01:16:11.000 They're overdeveloped.

01:16:13.000 We looked at, I was thinking about getting a small property in Texas and creating an Austin hub because there's so much activity going on with people moving there.

01:16:20.000 And I looked at all the buildings and I looked at the cities and I was like, this is not a good idea.

01:16:25.000 It's not.

01:16:25.000 It's just another hipster location.

01:16:28.000 It would be like moving to Williamsburg in 2011.

01:16:31.000 That's exactly right.

01:16:32.000 And that's the vibe I got.

01:16:33.000 No offense, Nashville.

01:16:35.000 No offense, Austin.

01:16:36.000 But that was the vibe I got.

01:16:38.000 And they're on a path to not being what made me want to go there in the first place.

01:16:44.000 But one of the things I was most struck by in Tennessee was going to the state capitol and going to monuments and stuff.

01:16:50.000 And I live in D.C., a federal district with pretty limited history.

01:16:53.000 You go to a state like Tennessee and you're at this capitol and you're at the monuments and you're like, All these people, they went and they died in these wars and all their pride that they have.

01:17:02.000 And like, man, that was actually really intriguing and sort of romantic for me.

01:17:07.000 I can't wait to get out of D.C., man.

01:17:09.000 I can't wait.

01:17:10.000 I think about West Virginia and this big empty property.

01:17:15.000 And I'm like, you know, I talk about how the colonists come to North America, and they land on a barren shore, and they're like, alright, you know, 20% of the people on this boat have died already from the trip, now we're all gonna start building on this shoreline, and another 20% of you are gonna die.

01:17:29.000 And they basically come across undeveloped space, and I'm like, we gotta build houses, we gotta start farming, we gotta figure out how to survive.

01:17:35.000 And they did it.

01:17:36.000 So I'm like, man, for the past several years I've been thinking, I don't want to go to a developed hub like Miami just because everyone's there.

01:17:43.000 I'm like, that's easy.

01:17:45.000 I don't want to go to Florida because they have been, you know, passing the right laws and everything and go to a place that someone else has done the hard work to make great.

01:17:54.000 I want to go to somewhere where I have the freedom to make something great.

01:17:57.000 Truth be told, it is better laws in West Virginia because people were voting for better laws.

01:18:02.000 But there are a lot of people who need industry there.

01:18:04.000 Some of the poorest people in the country live in West Virginia.

01:18:07.000 It does have its problems.

01:18:08.000 We're going to change this.

01:18:09.000 In 50 years, there is going to be an economic powerhouse out of West Virginia, and they're going to have very libertarian values.

01:18:16.000 Imagine this.

01:18:17.000 The might of the New York Times, headquartered in rural West Virginia.

01:18:22.000 All of a sudden.

01:18:23.000 Because this is what people need to understand.

01:18:24.000 Just dream big, Timmy.

01:18:26.000 Oh, I'm not even done dreaming.

01:18:28.000 The reason why the media is overwhelmingly left is because they put all the headquarters in big cities which are Democrat-run.

01:18:34.000 The only people who can get jobs there are wealthy Democrat children whose parents subsidize them to live in places like New York City.

01:18:42.000 Indeed.

01:18:42.000 Then you end up with 97% of all media coming from leftist activists and worldview.

01:18:48.000 Oligarch's gonna oligarch. 1.00

01:18:50.000 But what happens when you get a giant skyscraper, for some reason, in rural West Virginia, surrounded by nothing, and the people who work there are all like regular, these are people with backgrounds in blue-collar jobs and tradesmen, and they have kids who can afford to live in the area, who grew up working on a farm, who started, you know, learning how to write or report or do videos, and then they come and work at a media organization.

01:19:12.000 People are gonna call you a gentrifier, Timmy.

01:19:14.000 They can call me whatever I want.

01:19:16.000 That's a CRT leftist propaganda.

01:19:19.000 I don't care about that.

01:19:20.000 The people who live there are gonna be like... Look, the people we'll attract for these jobs who live in the area are gonna be like, I worked with my hands.

01:19:28.000 I know what a hard day's work really means.

01:19:30.000 And then they're going to be those values will be coming out of that broadcast tower.

01:19:35.000 I don't really think we'll build a skyscraper because I think skyscrapers are impractical, but we're going to, we were talking about finding an old, like decaying city and just buying up property and renovating and then expanding.

01:19:45.000 Totally.

01:19:46.000 And you should do that also in a place where then you can also run people for a county executive board and sheriff and have your own police and legislature and school system.

01:19:56.000 I mean, yeah.

01:19:57.000 I'm not a big fan of politics, but I recognize if we don't do that, bad people will come in.

01:20:02.000 I have spent time researching counties that have a small enough population where I feel like we could bring enough people to move in there to take over the sheriff's office and the school system in order to ensure that our values and our beliefs are propagated.

01:20:18.000 And you know, it was a, um, I was going to say wild, wild country.

01:20:22.000 Is that what it is?

01:20:23.000 A documentary about the, the, I want to, cult is a loose word, but they, they, they, they did this wild, wild West Virginia.

01:20:29.000 No, no, that's that was separate.

01:20:31.000 Oh, white and wild is a different documentary about West Virginia.

01:20:34.000 No, this was a, about a cult leader, an Indian guy.

01:20:37.000 Uh, and they bought up all this property in some area and then they tried to take over the council, the local board and all the real estate there.

01:20:45.000 Cause quite a hubbub from the locals, for sure.

01:20:48.000 But you know, that is that that's representation, representational government.

01:20:53.000 If you own the land and you live there and your people live there and you vote for the thing, that's the way it's supposed to be. 0.84

01:20:58.000 So do it, man.

01:20:59.000 Yeah, we're doing it.

01:21:00.000 I know you are.

01:21:01.000 It's great.

01:21:02.000 Sign up at TimCats.com.

01:21:03.000 Let's just do one more segment before we go to Super Chats on The Matrix.

01:21:06.000 So The Matrix came out today and I watched it.

01:21:09.000 Maybe I need to get another drink.

01:21:10.000 And it was conservative propaganda.

01:21:12.000 I was triggered.

01:21:13.000 Where did you, did you go to a theater?

01:21:15.000 No, I just watched it on HBO Max.

01:21:16.000 Oh, I gotcha.

01:21:17.000 It was conservative propaganda.

01:21:19.000 I was triggered and I was screaming, but I was at an impasse.

01:21:24.000 I didn't know who to complain to, to get it banned.

01:21:28.000 So, um, no, but in all seriousness, I'm only half kidding.

01:21:30.000 I don't want to spoil the movie for people who want to see it, but a large component of the film, I believe, maybe it was unintentional, but it kind of casts the left as like, bad.

01:21:46.000 How?

01:21:47.000 I'd have to spoil the film to explain it.

01:21:48.000 Oh, man.

01:21:49.000 Yep.

01:21:50.000 How are we gonna review this?

01:21:51.000 An element of the film expresses leftist ideas from the villain's perspective.

01:21:57.000 And in the end of the film, they outright tell regular people to, like, take the red pill.

01:22:04.000 Like, no joke.

01:22:06.000 And a core element of the film is the power of a traditional family.

01:22:09.000 Beautiful.

01:22:10.000 Not kidding.

01:22:10.000 That's insane.

01:22:11.000 Absolutely not kidding.

01:22:13.000 I'm going to say one thing that may spoil some of the film.

01:22:18.000 Spoiler alert.

01:22:18.000 So you have been warned.

01:22:20.000 You have been warned.

01:22:21.000 I'm saying it one more time.

01:22:23.000 I am going to say an element of the film which I believe will spoil a part of the film.

01:22:27.000 I'm not going to give you a plot point.

01:22:29.000 I'm not going to explain what Neo does or why he's doing what he does.

01:22:32.000 But I will just say this.

01:22:33.000 Okay.

01:22:33.000 Now that you've been warned sufficiently.

01:22:35.000 A core element of the film is that in order for humanity to exist, there needs to be a matriarch and a patriarch. 0.93

01:22:43.000 There needs to be a man and a woman working together. 1.00

01:22:45.000 Wait, I thought men and women were exactly the same, dude.

01:22:48.000 Not in this film.

01:22:48.000 I thought that actually you could change from being a man into a woman.

01:22:52.000 Isn't that, isn't that what The Matrix was really about?

01:22:55.000 Initially.

01:22:57.000 You really think that that was what it was about originally?

01:22:59.000 Come on.

01:23:00.000 I mean, like the guys that made- The character Switch in the film?

01:23:03.000 Yeah.

01:23:03.000 Was actually in the film.

01:23:04.000 Right.

01:23:05.000 You know, the character Switch was, right.

01:23:06.000 Sure.

01:23:07.000 A trans person.

01:23:07.000 I understand that.

01:23:08.000 But the creators, they're trans. 0.55

01:23:12.000 Yes, yes.

01:23:13.000 And but wasn't it sort of backward mapped onto the Matrix later that the real intent behind the movie was to like extol trans virtues?

01:23:22.000 I wouldn't know.

01:23:23.000 So here's what they say about that.

01:23:25.000 In the the first word that I think appears in the film is trans.

01:23:29.000 It says trans system operator or something like that.

01:23:31.000 Really?

01:23:32.000 Yeah.

01:23:32.000 And then there's um, it says system failure and you go between MNF that the film zooms in between MF.

01:23:39.000 Do you think there's continuity from the very first one to this one all out planned?

01:23:43.000 Like, for example, Lost.

01:23:45.000 Remember the series Lost?

01:23:46.000 I didn't watch Lost.

01:23:47.000 Oh, fantastic.

01:23:48.000 I just wonder if they planned it all out from the beginning.

01:23:50.000 The estrogen pills in the 90s were red pills.

01:23:54.000 And so apparently they were saying take the red pill was... Take the estrogen pill.

01:23:59.000 Take the estrogen pill.

01:24:00.000 You hear that, Manosphere?

01:24:01.000 You hear that, Manosphere?

01:24:03.000 Y'all been eating estrogen pills this entire time.

01:24:06.000 Holy cow. 0.89

01:24:08.000 I knew there was something up with those guys.

01:24:11.000 So this is from a year ago, this is from August.

01:24:13.000 The red pill died.

01:24:14.000 It says, look, look, look, look, the Newsweek.

01:24:17.000 The Matrix creator explains what the red pill really is and men's rights activists aren't going to be happy.

01:24:21.000 And they go on to explain, there's a picture of it, I think, somewhere.

01:24:25.000 Okay, there's not.

01:24:26.000 They're talking about in the 90s, the pill they would take to transition was a red pill.

01:24:33.000 Let me see if I can find an actual image of it.

01:24:35.000 That is absolutely hilarious.

01:24:37.000 That's really funny.

01:24:39.000 Sweet justice.

01:24:40.000 Yeah.

01:24:41.000 Primarin.

01:24:43.000 Oh yeah, Primarin.

01:24:44.000 Yeah, estrogen.

01:24:45.000 It's red pills.

01:24:46.000 Imagine if you built your whole brand about brown being red-pilled and it turns out that it actually meant eating estrogen.

01:24:52.000 Wow.

01:24:53.000 No wonder you're a B. Now, I don't know, like, so some of these things can just be coincidences.

01:24:59.000 And they did, they, you know, they back attached it or whatever.

01:25:03.000 But that's what they say.

01:25:04.000 I'll tell you this.

01:25:06.000 Is the zoom in between the M and the F thing, is that real?

01:25:09.000 It's real.

01:25:09.000 Yeah.

01:25:10.000 Man, that suggests continuity.

01:25:11.000 It says system failure.

01:25:13.000 And there's an M at the end of system and an F, and it zooms in past them.

01:25:17.000 And the first word in the film, it says trans system operator or something like that.

01:25:20.000 That's funny.

01:25:21.000 Honestly, when I saw that, I was like, what does that mean, Trans System Operator?

01:25:25.000 Like, what is it?

01:25:26.000 I think it's Trans System Operator, I'm not entirely sure.

01:25:28.000 But we watched it again, like, a couple weeks ago.

01:25:30.000 We watched all three Matrix movies, because the new movie's coming out, we were gonna watch it.

01:25:33.000 They're good.

01:25:34.000 The first one's real good.

01:25:35.000 The character Switch, in the first Matrix, you know the character Switch, was supposed to be a person who goes in the Matrix, and their residual self-image was female, and then in the real world they were male or something.

01:25:47.000 And, according to the story, the studio thought it was too, you know, weird for regular people.

01:25:51.000 They wouldn't like it.

01:25:53.000 I actually think that's a good idea for a film.

01:25:57.000 Like, if the idea of the Matrix is you have an identity, and when you go in, you become an identity, the only issue is I think people should turn into giraffes, too.

01:26:04.000 You know what I mean?

01:26:05.000 Like, furries would turn into Bugs Bunny and stuff like that.

01:26:07.000 But that's an interesting concept for a Matrix, because we're going to see that with the Metaverse.

01:26:11.000 But I'll say this.

01:26:12.000 Well, you've already seen it in Fortnite.

01:26:14.000 There's little boys acting with female characters.

01:26:18.000 Well, that's every game, though.

01:26:20.000 I know, but nobody even blinks an eye of that.

01:26:22.000 So why in the Metaverse would it be any different?

01:26:25.000 Why would you blink an eye?

01:26:26.000 Here's the thing about the Matrix Resurrections.

01:26:28.000 I don't think it has anything to do with the Matrix at all.

01:26:31.000 Like, the themes of the original Matrix do not translate into this movie.

01:26:35.000 I'm like, it's an entirely different movie.

01:26:38.000 They just call it Matrix, I guess.

01:26:40.000 Oh, I see.

01:26:41.000 Yeah, I mean, there's—I'll say a few things.

01:26:44.000 The film is—hates itself.

01:26:48.000 Not exaggerating.

01:26:50.000 They self-reference themselves, how much they hate making this. 0.93

01:26:53.000 What the heck? 0.60

01:26:54.000 No joke. 0.99

01:26:55.000 Like, in the movie, they basically say, this is garbage, we don't want to do it. 0.96

01:26:59.000 We don't want to make this.

01:27:00.000 Were they contractually obligated?

01:27:02.000 Um, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go further into spoilers now for some of you guys.

01:27:07.000 So now I'll get into some direct, a direct spoiler.

01:27:10.000 Uh, it's not a plot point.

01:27:11.000 It's just, uh, it's part of the early part.

01:27:14.000 It's part of the early movie.

01:27:16.000 I think the first half an hour of the movie was intended to insult and deride Warner Brothers.

01:27:22.000 And then the movie starts.

01:27:24.000 Gotcha.

01:27:25.000 So, uh, I'll explain.

01:27:27.000 In the film spoiler warning again, because I really really want to make because I'm gonna actually give a hard spoiler Neo is a game developer he made a game called the matrix and He's sitting down with his business partner and his business partner goes oh Our parent company, Warner Brothers, has insisted we do a sequel.

01:27:47.000 None of us want to do it, but they said, if we don't do it, they'll do it without us.

01:27:51.000 Oh man, so they were basically looking into the camera.

01:27:54.000 Yup.

01:27:55.000 Saying it outright.

01:27:56.000 And so, in the movie, it's that they made a video game called The Matrix.

01:28:01.000 Warner Brothers wants a new Matrix game, and they don't want to make it, but they have no choice, because either they do it, or it gets remade like trash.

01:28:09.000 So they said, fine, we'll be involved. 0.97

01:28:12.000 And that's the stu- I'm watching the movie and I'm like, this is so dumb. 0.95

01:28:16.000 The first half an hour is literally them being like, they made us do it, we don't like it, don't be mad at us. 0.94

01:28:21.000 That's kind of Seinfeld-y.

01:28:23.000 There is literally a scripted line that says, our parent company, Warner Brothers, expects a sequel.

01:28:30.000 That's literally in the film.

01:28:32.000 Gotcha.

01:28:33.000 And then there's, it's in the trailer actually.

01:28:35.000 Not that part, but it's where the guy goes, to be going back to what all began, back to the Matrix.

01:28:41.000 You've seen that in the trailer?

01:28:41.000 Yeah.

01:28:42.000 That's when he's like, they're making us redo this and we don't want to.

01:28:46.000 But the film, I gotta say like, The left will probably never admit it, but I don't know how else you explain it, that the movie is literally, now that we're in spoiler mode, it's literally, they're like, Neo and Trinity as a man and a woman, and the yearning they have for each other is what stabilizes the Matrix.

01:29:05.000 And without them as the Patriarch and the Matriarch, the new Matrix will collapse. 1.00

01:29:10.000 That's the plot.

01:29:12.000 Get out there and get married, guys.

01:29:13.000 Yeah!

01:29:14.000 That's the answer.

01:29:15.000 And guess what happens at the end, because I'm going to give you the big spoiler.

01:29:17.000 Oh boy, here we go.

01:29:20.000 So Neo isn't just the one.

01:29:22.000 Trinity also is.

01:29:24.000 The one is the two of them together.

01:29:26.000 So in the original film, Neo is the patriarch who fights and saves everybody, and Trinity is just the damsel in distress.

01:29:35.000 In this one, they both have superpowers.

01:29:39.000 I was shocked by this.

01:29:41.000 The villain at the end says to them, we will never give up because people don't want to be free.

01:29:47.000 They don't want the truth.

01:29:49.000 They don't want to be empowered.

01:29:50.000 They want to embrace their feelings over facts.

01:29:54.000 And then Neo and Trinity are like, we're going to change this world.

01:29:57.000 We're not here to negotiate.

01:29:58.000 And I was just like, what?

01:30:02.000 Like, that doesn't sound like leftists.

01:30:04.000 It sounds like they're conservatives.

01:30:07.000 Right.

01:30:08.000 Fostering human connection, the difference between men and women, the fact that they need to come together. 1.00

01:30:15.000 They make fun of binary over and over and over again.

01:30:17.000 Really?

01:30:18.000 But like, it's weird because they make fun of like the leftist concept of it.

01:30:27.000 I, it's, it's like they acknowledge it.

01:30:30.000 It's a real thing.

01:30:31.000 I'm going to have to watch this.

01:30:32.000 I showed my kids this movie.

01:30:33.000 They did not understand the first one, but hold on, hold on.

01:30:36.000 Here's what I think.

01:30:37.000 Lena Wachowski trans woman made this film, but older trans woman, younger, younger trans people are the gender nine binary people. 0.80

01:30:46.000 What do you mean, like Camille Paglia style trans? 1.00

01:30:49.000 Yeah.

01:30:49.000 Right.

01:30:50.000 She's a trans woman. 0.51

01:30:51.000 She's trans, but she's a lesbian. 1.00

01:30:53.000 No, she said specifically, I am trans.

01:30:56.000 Camille Paglia.

01:30:57.000 Yes.

01:30:57.000 You sure?

01:30:58.000 100 percent.

01:30:59.000 100 percent.

01:31:00.000 But she's the most based philosopher of all time.

01:31:04.000 Love her to death.

01:31:04.000 She's great.

01:31:05.000 Yeah.

01:31:06.000 Yeah.

01:31:07.000 So you look at like, um, Contra points, I think, I think talked about this before that older trans people believe men and women are the binary and that that's why they're trans.

01:31:16.000 That's why they transition.

01:31:17.000 But younger trans people say it's, there's a million identities.

01:31:20.000 You can be whatever from whatever part of the spectrum.

01:31:24.000 I wonder if that's really, you know, like Lena Wachowski is like an old school trans. 0.98

01:31:29.000 Yeah, who's like, there is a binary and they acknowledge that and that's important to them.

01:31:34.000 Trans-exclusive radical trans.

01:31:40.000 Trans-exclusionary radical trans women. 1.00

01:31:42.000 I love it.

01:31:43.000 All right, we're gonna go to Super Chats.

01:31:44.000 Is it time?

01:31:44.000 Is it time for Super Chats?

01:31:46.000 It is time for Super Chats, so smash that like button.

01:31:48.000 Hold on, let me call my boy Matt real quick.

01:31:50.000 Oh, snap. 0.99

01:31:51.000 Subscribe to the channel.

01:31:54.000 Like the like button.

01:31:55.000 Smash the like button.

01:31:56.000 Go to TimCast.com and become a member.

01:31:57.000 We're not going to have a members only segment today because we're going to be getting ready.

01:32:00.000 I got a pack.

01:32:01.000 Fake Friday.

01:32:02.000 This is like a half day at school because it's Christmas vacation.

01:32:04.000 Yes.

01:32:05.000 Yeah, but I do want to say, like, so the super chats have been absolutely inundated with

01:32:08.000 people who are not, who don't like you.

01:32:10.000 Yeah, I imagine so.

01:32:12.000 And a lot of people are saying things like, you know, you know, you shouldn't have yelled at Sydney and all that stuff.

01:32:18.000 And so we'll talk about that right now.

01:32:19.000 But I do want to say one thing, too, because a lot of people who are saying things like, I can't believe I believed in Jack or whatever, and Jack's a fraud.

01:32:26.000 And I'm just like, guys.

01:32:29.000 We're going to address all those issues.

01:32:31.000 But if your complaint is about an article that Jack wrote seven years ago, and you're now saying that you no longer like him because of something he did in the past, I don't care if it's a leftist who does it.

01:32:41.000 I don't care if it's a right-winger who does it.

01:32:42.000 If someone did something in the past and they're like, yeah, I don't think those things anymore or I don't like that I did that.

01:32:49.000 I'm like, okay, forgiveness granted.

01:32:51.000 Thank you for joining us in the fight for freedom.

01:32:53.000 Yes.

01:32:53.000 If we're going to excise our own allies because of things they did in the past, well, you might as well be, you know, in the, in cancel culture mode or whatever.

01:33:00.000 Not that, I mean, some people should deserve to be canceled and some people should have to answer for what they did and all that stuff.

01:33:06.000 But, uh, I mean, should we just, do you want to outright mention the, you are here thing or whatever?

01:33:12.000 Oh, well, just on that one point, like why was it so jarring for people to read that article about me?

01:33:18.000 Because I don't ever talk about it because I don't ever push those ideas because it's not a part of my life.

01:33:23.000 Right.

01:33:23.000 It was something that I wrote when I had like 100 Twitter followers and I was using a fake name.

01:33:29.000 Jack Murphy is not my real name, everybody.

01:33:31.000 Spoiler alert.

01:33:32.000 My real name is John Murphy Goldman.

01:33:34.000 My grandfather's name was John Murphy.

01:33:36.000 Everybody called him Jack.

01:33:38.000 So I picked Jack Murphy as a pseudonym and I wrote an article about like one element of my sex life all those years ago that was meant to be seen by basically nobody and I deleted it like a few months later and now for years people have been digging through my internet trash to like bring it up and to wave it in my face and the only reason people are waving at my face is because We're having a good impact on society.

01:34:01.000 We're like doing good.

01:34:02.000 We're spreading good out there.

01:34:03.000 And if it felt jarring to you to read this one thing, well, yeah, that's because I don't talk about it and it's not something I'm pushing and it's not something I advocate.

01:34:13.000 After I got divorced, we just had fun, man.

01:34:16.000 We did a lot of kinky and crazy things and I don't write about it and I don't talk about it anymore.

01:34:21.000 Joey Salads hired black men to vandalize a car with Trump stickers in it. 0.85

01:34:26.000 He staged the whole thing. 0.79

01:34:28.000 And I forgave him and had him on the show several times. 0.99

01:34:31.000 Yeah, well, I didn't do anything that stupid. 0.92

01:34:33.000 I was just having fun with a girl that I just started dating. 0.96

01:34:37.000 We were just going out and having a good time.

01:34:38.000 And I wrote about it anonymously.

01:34:40.000 Then I deleted it.

01:34:41.000 And now I have gone through a whole many years of growth and transformation and reading and studying and everything that I have said before up to this point is 100% accurate.

01:34:52.000 What?

01:34:52.000 Don't interrupt me.

01:34:53.000 Well, people are mad at you for yelling at them.

01:34:55.000 Oh, we can talk about that.

01:34:56.000 Yeah, I think they're using a lot of people don't like the article.

01:35:00.000 A lot of people are using that because they're mad at you.

01:35:02.000 But I think the anger comes from you yelling at Sydney.

01:35:04.000 Right, so here's what happened with Sydney.

01:35:05.000 So I'm sitting on the show and we're talking and they're joking about reading superchats where people are building like gas chambers and she's reading out loud like, how did I build this gas chamber that didn't kill all the Jews that I was supposed to kill, right? 0.55

01:35:20.000 It's like insane, the superchats that she reads.

01:35:23.000 And so I'm telling her this whole time, I'm like, hey, you might want to read all the superchats before you read them out loud, right?

01:35:28.000 A little bit of a warning.

01:35:29.000 And then she asked me the question about the article and I answered it politely.

01:35:34.000 I deflected.

01:35:35.000 I was like, that's not me.

01:35:36.000 It's 180 degrees from whatever that article says.

01:35:40.000 And I'd really rather not talk about it anymore.

01:35:43.000 And then a couple minutes later, she literally asked me the same question all over again.

01:35:48.000 And I cursed at her. 0.96

01:35:49.000 I shouldn't have cursed at her.

01:35:51.000 And I apologize, Sydney.

01:35:52.000 I apologized to her that day and that night and the next day.

01:35:56.000 And she accepted my apology.

01:35:57.000 So I don't know why everybody's still butt hurt.

01:35:59.000 But I shouldn't have cursed at her.

01:36:01.000 I should have just used amused mastery and just like laughed at her and dismissed her. 0.94

01:36:06.000 But I didn't because I had set a boundary and she crossed it.

01:36:11.000 And that's part of being a man, too, is saying, here's my boundary.

01:36:14.000 Please don't cross it.

01:36:15.000 And then she crossed it.

01:36:17.000 And I told her that I didn't like it.

01:36:18.000 Did I use the right words?

01:36:20.000 No.

01:36:20.000 Should I have cursed at her?

01:36:22.000 No.

01:36:22.000 And did I apologize to her for that?

01:36:24.000 Yes.

01:36:25.000 Did she apologize to me for putting me in a bad spot?

01:36:28.000 Yes.

01:36:28.000 Did Elijah?

01:36:29.000 Yes.

01:36:30.000 Did Elijah and I go out for dinner and drinks afterwards?

01:36:32.000 Yes.

01:36:33.000 Has Sydney and I talked afterwards?

01:36:35.000 Yes.

01:36:35.000 So I don't understand why everybody's so white knighting simping for her.

01:36:40.000 She can stand up for herself.

01:36:41.000 It's resolved.

01:36:42.000 And in my mind, it's done.

01:36:44.000 And to me, this is such a nothing burger in my life.

01:36:47.000 I am so focused on so many other bigger, more important things that, uh, people chipping and chirping away at me at this are just so annoying when I block people.

01:36:56.000 It's because you're annoying, dude.

01:36:58.000 It's because you have, we have, we, we have to.

01:37:02.000 We have to be more than drama.

01:37:05.000 Right.

01:37:05.000 There are a lot of drama channels.

01:37:07.000 I don't engage with them.

01:37:09.000 And I'm aware, and I mentioned this last week, the one way to really piss me off is to send me a video about people saying things about me.

01:37:16.000 Yeah.

01:37:17.000 Because I'm like, dude, I don't care about me.

01:37:20.000 Like, what I mean by that is like, I don't care if, you know, so I saw the Young Turks thing where Cenk was like, he's literally looking into the camera saying over and over again, I'm laughing at you, Tim Pool!

01:37:30.000 I'm like, okay, dude, like, whatever, man.

01:37:33.000 I did a video addressing the Ari the Rugged Man thing.

01:37:36.000 Got 500,000 views.

01:37:39.000 The Young Turks did their video, got 50,000 views.

01:37:41.000 I don't, I don't, I'm not saying that, bring that up to be like, haha, I got more views than you.

01:37:45.000 I'm saying when you focus on the work, when you focus on the ideas, when you are talking about what makes the world a better place and what we need to work on, people are interested.

01:37:54.000 People are interested in like, what can I do to better my life?

01:37:56.000 Yeah.

01:37:57.000 But Cenk Uygur and Anna Kasparian just insulting me doesn't improve anyone's life in any way and doesn't provide them with tools to make for a better world.

01:38:06.000 No.

01:38:06.000 And if you're out there and you're listening to rage merchants and all they're doing is stirring up drama and you're just getting angry enough that you seek out my email address and my Instagram and my YouTube and my Twitter and my personal phone number and my girlfriend, who's soon to be my wife, and you blowing us up with all this nastiness, like, dude, you're being misled.

01:38:24.000 Right?

01:38:25.000 The idea and everything that we're working on here is to help men is to help their families is to help their community and their nation on the way up here today.

01:38:33.000 Just let me finish on their way on the way up here today.

01:38:35.000 I had a phone call with one of the LO guys and we're talking about this business that they started.

01:38:40.000 That's literally going to change, change the world.

01:38:43.000 It's going to change the world.

01:38:44.000 It is going to transform the world.

01:38:47.000 And this is what we're working on.

01:38:48.000 So I'm driving up here and I'm talking to this guy about literally changing the world.

01:38:53.000 And now we're talking about this thing that literally has no relevance in my life whatsoever at all today.

01:38:59.000 And you know, it's just kind of annoying, but like, I'm just so over it and not interested in talking about it, which is why I was like, please, let's just not talk about it anymore.

01:39:08.000 And, uh, she wanted to, so, Hey, But I'll tell you this.

01:39:10.000 Some of these super chats are funny, but I think you even rolled with the jokes about calling your boy Matt and stuff like that.

01:39:15.000 Yeah, you get it.

01:39:16.000 Sometimes you just gotta, you know, it's like, whatever, dude, I have a kinky pass. 0.94

01:39:19.000 Really?

01:39:20.000 I'm really terribly sorry about it.

01:39:22.000 And then, and then, and then my girl and I, we got serious and now we settled down and now we're getting married.

01:39:27.000 And we're going to have a nice traditional life with the kids and the family and the whole thing. 0.86

01:39:30.000 Like, oof, kill me.

01:39:32.000 Like, come on guys, get a grip. 0.99

01:39:33.000 Let's read some stuff.

01:39:34.000 Let's read some Superchats.

01:39:42.000 Yes.

01:39:43.000 I encourage everybody to stop watching Fox News.

01:39:47.000 Start watching The Daily Wire.

01:39:49.000 Stop sharing Fox News articles.

01:39:51.000 If The Daily Wire has an article saying the same thing, share that one instead.

01:39:54.000 Because Fox News instituted a vaccine mandate and there's no excuse for it.

01:39:57.000 Oh, but we're in New York and we have to.

01:39:59.000 You know, there's a federal mandate that has been reinstated and the Daily Wire is going to be hit by that.

01:40:04.000 And they said no the entire time.

01:40:06.000 Fox News had a daily testing requirement.

01:40:10.000 And where's Tucker?

01:40:11.000 Where's Jesse Watters?

01:40:12.000 Where's any one of these hosts to be like, we don't agree with this?

01:40:16.000 Ben Shapiro's putting his business on the line.

01:40:18.000 All these guys at Daily Wire are doing that.

01:40:20.000 I have respect for them, man.

01:40:20.000 Dude, I have a lot of respect for Ben.

01:40:22.000 I remember watching him just sort of growing up over at Breitbart back in the day, like 2014 and 15, and he's, man, that guy is doing things and he's going for it and he's putting himself out there.

01:40:32.000 I like it.

01:40:32.000 Yeah.

01:40:33.000 Lori MC says, I am watching The Matrix.

01:40:37.000 I turned it off to watch you live.

01:40:38.000 I think I better watch you later.

01:40:40.000 Don't spoil the movie for me.

01:40:42.000 Merry Christmas.

01:40:42.000 Oopsie daisies.

01:40:44.000 But that's why we gave a really good warning, right?

01:40:48.000 We gave a good warning.

01:40:50.000 All right, let's see.

01:40:51.000 PM says, pretend to take a shot of Malort at Kuma's Corner for me when you go back to Chicago.

01:40:56.000 Merry Christmas to all of you.

01:40:57.000 Oh my God.

01:40:58.000 I'm not going anywhere.

01:40:59.000 Dude, dude, when I was here the other day, you ordered a box of Malort from Chicago.

01:41:06.000 No, no, Allison went and picked it up.

01:41:07.000 Was it?

01:41:08.000 Yeah.

01:41:08.000 Oh, I thought it came in shipped.

01:41:09.000 And then when I showed up for the show that night, we all took shots of Malort. 0.99

01:41:14.000 And dude, that stuff is bad.

01:41:17.000 Yeah, it's a prank apparently.

01:41:19.000 Alright, let's grab some superchats here.

01:41:26.000 A lot of the superchats we got about the Sydney and Elijah thing are people genuinely being like, I don't understand what that was, what happened, what happened.

01:41:34.000 With Sydney.

01:41:35.000 Yeah, they were like, what happened with that?

01:41:36.000 What happened?

01:41:36.000 But we addressed it.

01:41:37.000 Well, yeah.

01:41:38.000 You know, when the clip, people clipped it where all they see is me saying, you know, cursing at her.

01:41:44.000 But they didn't see the whole thing where I was like, let's not talk about that after I've addressed it.

01:41:48.000 And then she brought it up again.

01:41:50.000 So, you know, it stinks.

01:41:51.000 And I wish it didn't happen.

01:41:54.000 And Sydney and I are cool and we will be cool.

01:41:56.000 And Elijah's already talked to me about coming back on the show in February.

01:41:59.000 And I'll happily do that.

01:42:00.000 And I just think everybody here should just sort of put this thing behind them and let's move on.

01:42:05.000 HeathenAirsoftNJ says, No, that's actually not it.

01:42:11.000 I don't know if you watched it or not.

01:42:15.000 The reason why I did that segment was because the ideas were really important and the Young Turks gave me an excellent opportunity to show you what the left and progressives are.

01:42:25.000 Like I said, I don't care that, you know, the Young Turks want to laugh at me or make fun of me, but I think it's important that when you have a regular person, who's sitting there saying like, who's right? Who's a good

01:42:35.000 person? Is Tim Pool a good person?

01:42:37.000 Are the Young Turks good people? I want a certain kind of person to watch this show.

01:42:42.000 If you're the kind of person that thinks insulting and making fun of people and spending your days

01:42:48.000 involved in laughing and screaming in people's faces for tribal points,

01:42:52.000 this show is probably not for you.

01:42:53.000 Have you read your comments, Timmy?

01:42:55.000 Well, I don't think these are regular viewers.

01:42:57.000 Our regular viewers are fairly, you know, well-read, and they often correct us on things.

01:43:01.000 The goal of that segment was, there are going to be a lot of people who may be roped into the lies of these people, grifters. 0.97

01:43:09.000 Now, the Young Turks would like to call me a grifter.

01:43:10.000 Many leftists would.

01:43:12.000 I will lay out my entire past with a family member for all embarrassment and for all of the bad so that you can know this is who I am and this is why I believe what I believe.

01:43:22.000 The Young Turks can laugh at me and say I'm a liar and a racist all day and night, but they have no substantive argument.

01:43:28.000 I don't care for the drama between the Young Turks.

01:43:30.000 I invited them on the show.

01:43:31.000 I think they'd be great.

01:43:32.000 I think the bigger issue is letting regular people know, here's the people who aren't laughing in your face, and here's the people who are.

01:43:39.000 If you're a working-class person on the South Side of Chicago, my story probably related.

01:43:42.000 If you're a mixed-race person, I get it all the time.

01:43:44.000 They're like, man, I've been through what you've been through, Tim.

01:43:46.000 That resonates with me.

01:43:48.000 Then if you have progressives saying, you know, we're the ones who are fighting for you, but don't worry.

01:43:52.000 If you ever challenge us, we'll laugh in your faces.

01:43:54.000 I want as many people as possible to see that.

01:43:57.000 It has nothing to do with interpersonal drama.

01:43:59.000 It has everything to do with proving who is actually fighting the good fight and who is trying to grift off of you.

01:44:06.000 Look, and Tim, I feel the same way.

01:44:08.000 And one of the reasons that I am kind of happy that we're talking about this old article and my hedonistic past and the fact that I used to try to just pleasure-seek, I was just pleasure-seeking, is because ultimately at the end of the day, that's not enough.

01:44:22.000 Like you're not going to be satisfied.

01:44:25.000 And believe me, I have tried.

01:44:26.000 You're not going to be satisfied by that kind of stuff.

01:44:28.000 You need to find a higher calling.

01:44:32.000 And I am happy to be the guy that leads people who once lived a hedonistic lifestyle, who are looking for something more important, who are looking for something that means more to them.

01:44:43.000 That's going to return a higher utility to them as a person and is going to benefit the nation as a whole.

01:44:49.000 So if this is if this is my, you know, thing to bear, OK, fine.

01:44:54.000 But like listen to my content now and understand where we're going, because I've moved past that and I'm on to something that's really good.

01:45:01.000 And if you want to be on to something really good, let's go.

01:45:04.000 All right, we got Ghost Crusader says Tim I had to get my first shot today.

01:45:07.000 I live in New York City.

01:45:08.000 I had to I'm the caretaker for my grandfather and grandmother.

01:45:11.000 He has dementia and she does not want anyone else but me to take care of him.

01:45:14.000 I rather move but I couldn't and that's how they get you.

01:45:17.000 That's hard.

01:45:18.000 They know they can use your family against you to enforce this stuff and it ultimately results in everyone suffering because of it.

01:45:24.000 It is very hard.

01:45:26.000 People are having to make a lot of tough decisions.

01:45:28.000 Prudence.

01:45:28.000 Prudence is never easy.

01:45:30.000 It's by definition hard.

01:45:31.000 If you find yourself in that position, I give kudos to you and please just take some support understanding there's a lot of us in the same spot and you're not a bad person if you make a prudential decision.

01:45:42.000 You're not.

01:45:43.000 All right, Dee Thompson says, love your show, started watching Nightly a few months ago, just finished reading The Fourth Turning and wow, crazy accurate for being written in 1996.

01:45:51.000 Right.

01:45:52.000 Another playbook like 1984.

01:45:53.000 Right.

01:45:54.000 And MIT said that Collapse is happening in what, 2040 or something?

01:45:58.000 Right.

01:45:58.000 Yeah.

01:45:58.000 80 years, 80 to 90 year cycles.

01:46:01.000 Yep.

01:46:02.000 All right. 1.00

01:46:03.000 Just long enough for everybody to forget about how stupid the last one was. 1.00

01:46:06.000 That's how it happens. 1.00

01:46:07.000 Right.

01:46:08.000 Even Lincoln was talking about that when everybody who was involved in the revolution had died.

01:46:12.000 No one understood why they were there.

01:46:14.000 They didn't understand the pain and the suffering everyone went through.

01:46:17.000 Memories are short despite the history books.

01:46:20.000 Yep.

01:46:20.000 Puddle says, hey Tim, would you have a live cast with your family and friends that you grew up with sharing old Chicago stories?

01:46:26.000 Lydia is a soldier.

01:46:27.000 Re.

01:46:27.000 Yeah, actually, maybe.

01:46:30.000 I haven't talked to the guys from Chicago in forever.

01:46:32.000 There's a couple guys that I'm friends with on Facebook that were like really good friends of mine when I was like 16 to like 20.

01:46:41.000 And so I keep in touch with this group of people.

01:46:46.000 Relatively.

01:46:47.000 I don't actually talk to them very frequently, but there's very few people I'd be like, hey, come out and hang out.

01:46:51.000 But my friend Andy, I'd hit him up and invite him out here any day.

01:46:55.000 We got a skate park.

01:46:55.000 Andy, come skate.

01:46:57.000 I don't have his Instagram anymore.

01:46:58.000 I haven't seen him in, man, I don't know, 15 years?

01:47:01.000 Maybe longer than that.

01:47:02.000 Man, maybe it's been a lot longer than that.

01:47:03.000 But I'd love to have these guys out.

01:47:05.000 We could do something on the website where it's just like we all talk about Chicago and stuff like that, because those stories are really fascinating.

01:47:12.000 Like when I got shot at randomly.

01:47:13.000 And the more you can connect to other people's experiences, the more powerful it is to spread your message and to get people on the right track, man.

01:47:21.000 Do it.

01:47:21.000 Talk about as much as you can.

01:47:22.000 Be as open and honest and authentic as you can.

01:47:25.000 Why?

01:47:25.000 Because look at the guys on CNN.

01:47:27.000 Is Don Lamon authentic?

01:47:29.000 Are the Cuomo guys authentic?

01:47:31.000 Is Jake Tapper authentic?

01:47:33.000 Is whatever that chick is with the short hair and the glasses on MSNBC, is she authentic? 0.95

01:47:39.000 No.

01:47:39.000 They're not worth listening to.

01:47:41.000 Alright, Dragon Lady says, Lori Lightfoot and other politicians make a really big assumption that I want to go to bars and restaurants. 0.99

01:47:48.000 Tim, that was a fantastic impression.

01:47:50.000 Most important, no, the Beetlejuice one for Lori Lightfoot.

01:47:52.000 So good.

01:47:53.000 I just want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

01:47:55.000 You're good people and you deserve it.

01:47:56.000 I haven't seen Beetlejuice in a very long time.

01:47:58.000 It was great.

01:47:59.000 Michael Keaton.

01:48:01.000 He also kind of talked, it's also similar to Edgar from Men in Black.

01:48:06.000 Yeah, that's who I was thinking it sounded like.

01:48:07.000 I haven't seen either of those movies lately.

01:48:10.000 Maybe I should introduce my children to those.

01:48:13.000 Men in Black.

01:48:14.000 I like Men in Black.

01:48:15.000 Basically, don't feed your kids any content created after the year 2000.

01:48:18.000 The only TV that I let my youngest daughter watch is Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

01:48:24.000 Always a great story in there.

01:48:26.000 And oh man, I forgot the other one off the top of my head.

01:48:29.000 Oh, The Nanny. 0.98

01:48:30.000 That stuff is funny.

01:48:32.000 The Nanny? 0.99

01:48:33.000 Darn, sorry. 0.99

01:48:34.000 That stuff is funny and it's based. 0.99

01:48:36.000 It's based.

01:48:37.000 The 90s were based.

01:48:38.000 I love them, yeah.

01:48:39.000 Here we go.

01:48:39.000 Nicholas Lunn says, Tim, rather than using their language, shouldn't we call them COVID inquisitors rather than investigators?

01:48:45.000 Yes.

01:48:46.000 Yes.

01:48:46.000 Austria is hiring inquisitors.

01:48:49.000 Someone had a good idea.

01:48:50.000 They said, um... COVID Gestapo.

01:48:52.000 A good idea for a shirt was, no one expects the science inquisition.

01:48:56.000 Oh, I love that.

01:48:57.000 Yeah.

01:48:57.000 Yeah, from Monty Python.

01:48:58.000 Oh, that's a good twist.

01:48:59.000 Is that what it's from?

01:49:00.000 The science inquisition?

01:49:01.000 Yeah.

01:49:01.000 Well, no, the Spanish inquisition.

01:49:02.000 Right, right, right, right.

01:49:04.000 The science.

01:49:05.000 Micah Cook says, I'm going from 25 an hour to 14 an hour here in California because I won't get the jab.

01:49:11.000 My kids will have food.

01:49:12.000 That's only an excuse.

01:49:13.000 Let's go, Brandon.

01:49:14.000 Let's go, Brandon.

01:49:15.000 Yeah, man.

01:49:17.000 I'm never going to eat out in a restaurant in D.C.

01:49:19.000 ever again.

01:49:20.000 We'll get used to it.

01:49:22.000 I mean, you'll get used to it.

01:49:22.000 We'll cook.

01:49:23.000 We'll cook a lot more healthier.

01:49:25.000 Well, instead of buying choice, we'll buy prime.

01:49:27.000 We'll have to cook together.

01:49:28.000 That'll be fun.

01:49:31.000 Okay, let's see.

01:49:32.000 Enstein says, in DC here, may have to get creative, but compliance isn't an option for me.

01:49:37.000 However, the Step on Snek crowd here never shocks me.

01:49:41.000 We finally got our No Step on Snek and Find Out shirts.

01:49:43.000 Yeah, did they come in?

01:49:44.000 Aren't they top seller already, right?

01:49:46.000 They're the best-selling shirt we've ever had.

01:49:49.000 I love it.

01:49:50.000 So cute.

01:49:50.000 Step on Snek and find out.

01:49:51.000 It's my favorite.

01:49:51.000 At the TimCast store.

01:49:52.000 You can pick it up.

01:49:53.000 Yeah, we've sold like thousands of them.

01:49:54.000 It's crazy.

01:49:55.000 So good.

01:49:55.000 It's a good shirt.

01:49:57.000 We gotta get on our shirt game.

01:49:58.000 You know, Luke does the like overtly political shirts.

01:50:01.000 Like he had one where it was Fauci as the Emperor, Emperor Palpatine.

01:50:04.000 Force lightning, monkeys, and dogs.

01:50:06.000 Yeah.

01:50:07.000 I'm like, okay, Luke's probably selling thousands of these shirts because those are good.

01:50:11.000 But we don't do that kind of shirt.

01:50:13.000 Like, I don't do this show to make overt political statements about that stuff.

01:50:17.000 Like, Step on Snack and Find Out is a meme.

01:50:19.000 It's like a silly combination of memes, and it doesn't say anything about Republicans or Democrats or Fauci or anything like that.

01:50:25.000 The gorilla thing.

01:50:26.000 I'm like, I don't want to make overtly political merchandise.

01:50:30.000 It can be, like, passively.

01:50:31.000 You know, it should be fun, cultural stuff.

01:50:34.000 So that's what we're trying to figure out.

01:50:35.000 We have, I tested positive for freedom, and it's Luke riding an eagle waving a Gadsden flag.

01:50:39.000 Right, where Luke is, Luke is, to scale, On an eagle.

01:50:44.000 There's an eagle, which is to scale.

01:50:46.000 And then there's Luke.

01:50:46.000 He's right on top of that.

01:50:47.000 It's the eagle from Lord of the Rings.

01:50:49.000 You know, I challenged Luke to a death match before the show and the winner, the winner was the only one who arrived and Luke's not here.

01:50:59.000 He got scared.

01:50:59.000 He did.

01:51:00.000 Yeah, he was like, he was like, oh, Jack's coming.

01:51:04.000 Oh, no.

01:51:05.000 And then he was like, oh, my mom called.

01:51:07.000 My mommy called.

01:51:09.000 There you go, Luke.

01:51:10.000 He's in the chat.

01:51:11.000 He's posting stuff.

01:51:12.000 Oh, I bet he is.

01:51:14.000 He loves those chats.

01:51:15.000 I've seen him stirring up S in there. 0.79

01:51:17.000 He loves to do that.

01:51:18.000 He's sitting next to me stirring up S in the chats, that guy.

01:51:22.000 That sounds like something Luke would do.

01:51:23.000 Luke!

01:51:25.000 You're not my father.

01:51:27.000 All right, let's see.

01:51:29.000 Let's get some good conversation going.

01:51:32.000 You trying to weed through the super chats of all the obsessed folks?

01:51:36.000 A lot of them are identical.

01:51:38.000 I can read one of them, and I read one in the beginning, but I can't just keep reading the same thing over and over again.

01:51:43.000 People are obsessed about that, man.

01:51:45.000 I don't get it.

01:51:45.000 Interesting.

01:51:46.000 People are strange.

01:51:48.000 I honestly, you know, I wonder about who is we have substantially higher super chats than we normally do.

01:51:55.000 So I don't believe it's our normal audience.

01:51:57.000 Got it.

01:51:57.000 Yeah, you know, because I think it's people who are coming in here and just Just throwing money at Timmy, hoping that you're going to embarrass me in front of all these people?

01:52:07.000 That's an interesting strategy.

01:52:09.000 Yeah, I like that.

01:52:10.000 I can only say this, guys.

01:52:11.000 I'm not on Elijah and Sidney's show.

01:52:14.000 I didn't watch it.

01:52:15.000 We were doing this show when that happened.

01:52:16.000 Yeah, we were working.

01:52:19.000 And I don't wake up in the morning, I'm like, I better go watch and figure out what this drama's all about.

01:52:22.000 I wake up and I'm like, what did Joe Biden just say?

01:52:25.000 And what is Pelosi doing?

01:52:26.000 And what is Mitch McConnell doing about it?

01:52:27.000 And what did he just, what's he, what?

01:52:30.000 So I'm spending my day like reading the news and reading about what's going on.

01:52:34.000 And, uh, I could not get in depth on this if I wanted to.

01:52:38.000 It's just not my wheelhouse.

01:52:39.000 Well, there's, there's no depth to it.

01:52:41.000 That's the thing. 0.59

01:52:42.000 It's nonsense.

01:52:44.000 So let's read this.

01:52:44.000 We got William Furry says, serious inquiry.

01:52:46.000 TP, are you hiring?

01:52:47.000 I work in medicine and feel so done with being whipped around like a rag doll with mandates and exemptions.

01:52:52.000 We are hiring and the difficulty is, you know, we're planting seeds of these new shows and we're trying to grow them and they're, you know, they're but baby birds that we are unable to kick out of the nest.

01:53:04.000 They can't fly on their own.

01:53:05.000 So the core Timcast show is like subsidizing the growth of these new shows so we can hire But it's like everything we hire outside of this show is a loss, and that's what we've been doing.

01:53:16.000 So it's like we're taking the risk to try and do more stuff.

01:53:18.000 We have the book, Tales from the Inverted World at invertedworldbook.com.

01:53:21.000 It's a bestseller now, which is amazing.

01:53:22.000 Amazing.

01:53:23.000 Congratulations.

01:53:24.000 You're a publisher now.

01:53:25.000 That's right.

01:53:26.000 And that's good.

01:53:27.000 But as much as the external stuff we've started has made money, it's not covering its own costs.

01:53:33.000 Right.

01:53:33.000 So in order for us to keep hiring, those have to grow to a certain point, and it's not easy, and it's very difficult.

01:53:38.000 Look, I put out the call all the time for conservative donors to fund media projects that don't have immediate returns right away.

01:53:45.000 And Tim, I'm very proud of you for taking this route and investing in things that don't have returns right away in order to move the needle.

01:53:53.000 So kudos to you, my friend.

01:53:55.000 Look, so the first Tales from the Inverted World book we have, it's like general stories, you know.

01:54:02.000 The next book, The Ghost of the Civil War, I can't say too much because it would ruin some of the book.

01:54:07.000 But Shane went down to Georgia and he started investigating lost Confederate gold and it got dangerous.

01:54:14.000 It got like legit dangerous.

01:54:16.000 I don't want to spoil too much, but someone died.

01:54:18.000 On the crew?

01:54:19.000 So no, no, no, no, no.

01:54:20.000 Like your insurance must be through the roof.

01:54:22.000 One of, one of the, one of the, let me just say this.

01:54:25.000 One of the sources in the process, in the investigation, my guide and threats were made.

01:54:32.000 And so I'm like, this is going to be crazy, dude.

01:54:36.000 That's awesome.

01:54:37.000 Do you have a hot mic where the guy confesses to a murder in the last episode?

01:54:40.000 Cause that was sick, dude.

01:54:43.000 What happened?

01:54:44.000 Yeah.

01:54:45.000 What was the documentary about that guy who was a real estate developer, rich guy who went around killing a couple of people.

01:54:50.000 And they did this whole, there was a whole HBO documentary.

01:54:54.000 And in the last, where they, Durst maybe?

01:54:57.000 No, I can't remember.

01:54:58.000 Where they interviewed him and they were like, did you murder these girls?

01:55:01.000 No.

01:55:01.000 Did you murder them?

01:55:01.000 No.

01:55:01.000 Did you murder them?

01:55:02.000 No.

01:55:03.000 And in the final scene of the documentary, he's got a mic on during the interview.

01:55:08.000 He gets up.

01:55:08.000 He's like, let me go to the bathroom.

01:55:10.000 And he goes into the bathroom and he doesn't realize that the mic is on. 0.97

01:55:12.000 And he's like, I killed those ladies, but they're never going to find out. 0.99

01:55:16.000 Just keep lying. 1.00

01:55:17.000 Just keep lying or whatever. 0.52

01:55:18.000 Just keep lying. 0.72

01:55:19.000 Just keep lying.

01:55:20.000 And he walks out and they're all like, yo, your mic was on.

01:55:23.000 And he confessed at the end and it was all legit.

01:55:26.000 It was, it was amazing on HBO.

01:55:28.000 I can't catch a ketchup killer, catch a murderer or something.

01:55:32.000 I can't, I can't remember what it's called.

01:55:34.000 Yeah, man, that was awesome.

01:55:36.000 Um, but so if you would like to get a job, um, jobs at timcast.com, I'll, I'll write your name down and we'll keep a lookout.

01:55:44.000 I am writing your name down.

01:55:45.000 What is the name?

01:55:45.000 William Furr.

01:55:46.000 Oh.

01:55:47.000 I got it.

01:55:48.000 And, um, yeah, man, we're, we're gonna, we're gonna, we'll, we'll, we'll go through it.

01:55:51.000 You know, we, we look through jobs periodically.

01:55:53.000 We try to figure out what makes sense and what we can do for people.

01:55:55.000 We have 31 employees.

01:55:58.000 That's right.

01:55:59.000 31.

01:55:59.000 Because we are like, my, my attitude is, yo, we gotta start planting trees.

01:56:04.000 Yep.

01:56:04.000 We got to plant trees now.

01:56:06.000 Definitely.

01:56:06.000 And then hopefully in 10 years, we got big trees with beautiful shade and, you know, we'll have like a banana tree and we'll have, actually they don't grow on trees, they grow on bushes or something.

01:56:14.000 Yeah, banana trees grow on trees.

01:56:16.000 Oh, my boy Matt just texted.

01:56:17.000 He said it was the Robert Durst documentary.

01:56:20.000 Your boy Matt?

01:56:20.000 He got you.

01:56:21.000 Robert, Robert Durst.

01:56:23.000 Now I know.

01:56:24.000 MK90 says, I'm officially getting separated from the Marine Corps with an other than honorable discharge for refusal of vaccine.

01:56:31.000 Open criticism of the government and memes.

01:56:33.000 The Corps and people who support this government have lost their honor.

01:56:38.000 That's busted, man.

01:56:41.000 I feel for those people making those tough choices, man.

01:56:43.000 All right.

01:56:46.000 Let's see.

01:56:47.000 Heck, that was me.

01:56:49.000 And you know what?

01:56:50.000 Ultimate, the resolution was is I informed my children.

01:56:53.000 I gave them all the information I could possibly give them.

01:56:56.000 And I was like, look, it's up to you.

01:56:58.000 JC says, Tim, do you agree that this started with accepting the mask requirements?

01:57:02.000 If so, do you regret not opposing that earlier?

01:57:05.000 Well, it started before the mask requirements.

01:57:06.000 It started with two weeks to slow the spread.

01:57:08.000 I don't regret mask requirements within reason.

01:57:13.000 It's not so much like, are you for or against masks?

01:57:17.000 Well, let me start from the beginning.

01:57:18.000 I agreed with two weeks to slow the spread.

01:57:20.000 Why?

01:57:21.000 Made sense.

01:57:22.000 We want to slow the curve down.

01:57:23.000 We want to make sure that as the infection spreads, we don't overload our ICU beds because then tons of people will die because we can't treat them.

01:57:28.000 And I said, OK, makes sense.

01:57:28.000 That was a mistake.

01:57:30.000 That was a mistake. I agree with it back then. Now I would say in hindsight, I realized the

01:57:35.000 exploitation. It then moves on to mask requirements. Within reason, absolutely,

01:57:41.000 I think they're bad. But I will say my point is this.

01:57:43.000 Ultimately, to put on a mask, to walk in somewhere for a few minutes and walk out, wasn't that big

01:57:50.000 of a deal.

01:57:51.000 To undergo an irreversible and permanent medical procedure is an absolute deal breaker.

01:57:57.000 There are certain things where we say like, okay, sure, fine, whatever.

01:58:00.000 It's like, I'll put the mask on, I'll take it off, it'll be five minutes.

01:58:03.000 I will tell you this now.

01:58:04.000 I will not go to any business that mandates a mask.

01:58:06.000 I don't do it.

01:58:07.000 So out here in West Virginia, just last week or whatever, I was with Allison.

01:58:12.000 We went to a cafe and they had a big, huge thing on the door saying, please wear a mask.

01:58:16.000 And I said, Starbucks over there doesn't require masks.

01:58:19.000 So instead of going to the small business that needed our money very, very much, I went to the big corporate store because the big corporate store was like, do your thing.

01:58:27.000 We don't care.

01:58:28.000 And so there it is.

01:58:29.000 If I have a choice, it will not be to comply with any of this stuff.

01:58:34.000 So, we went to Micro Center.

01:58:36.000 Had to wear a mask.

01:58:37.000 Well, that was tough.

01:58:39.000 I needed to get a GPU.

01:58:41.000 We needed to get equipment for the studio to expand.

01:58:43.000 And so I'm like, look, putting on a mask for 20 minutes to walk in and walk out?

01:58:47.000 It's not the end of the world.

01:58:48.000 If I had a choice, I wouldn't do it.

01:58:50.000 But I need to buy this thing right now, so I will.

01:58:52.000 I don't like that.

01:58:53.000 At all.

01:58:54.000 Give me a choice, I'll say no.

01:58:55.000 I went to the mall to buy my wife to be the one very gift I wanted to get her and I had got to the gate of the door and they were like, put a mask on.

01:59:05.000 And I was like, sorry.

01:59:07.000 And I just walked away.

01:59:08.000 I just can't do it anymore.

01:59:10.000 Well, not anymore.

01:59:11.000 I have walked out of a hundred stores that have asked me to put on a mask.

01:59:14.000 I just will not do it.

01:59:15.000 I will not give them my money.

01:59:17.000 I will not go to the stores.

01:59:18.000 I will not comply.

01:59:19.000 I've left it up to my kids to make their own decisions, because you know what?

01:59:22.000 They're teenagers, they can make their own decisions.

01:59:24.000 But for me, I am able to be comfortable and resist, and I will.

01:59:28.000 Did you get the 30-70?

01:59:29.000 What'd you get?

01:59:30.000 Yeah, we got the latest.

01:59:33.000 If I went to a store, a microcenter, and they were like, vaccine only, I'd be like, alright, walk away.

01:59:39.000 If YouTube emailed me and said, we now require everyone to have proof of vaccination, I'd be like, later.

01:59:45.000 That's the end.

01:59:46.000 You're not making me do it.

01:59:49.000 It's I mean, I'm just reeling from this notion.

01:59:51.000 I just learned the news today that DC has a vax mandate.

01:59:54.000 Now I'm literally never going to be able to go to any of my favorite restaurants in DC.

01:59:58.000 Any, I can't go to any single bars or restaurants in the city that I have lived in for 30 years.

02:00:04.000 That's a thing.

02:00:05.000 Yep.

02:00:06.000 That's a thing.

02:00:07.000 No museums, no concerts, no movies, no gyms, no yoga, no nothing.

02:00:12.000 You can't even go to a hotel.

02:00:14.000 Right.

02:00:16.000 That's a lot to process, actually.

02:00:18.000 I got to deal with that in Chicago.

02:00:19.000 It's going to be funny.

02:00:20.000 We'll see what happens.

02:00:20.000 I have a feeling no one's going to enforce it, at least where we're going.

02:00:23.000 This is a good one.

02:00:23.000 All right.

02:00:24.000 Eric A. says, Tim, I appreciate all the work you do in regards to the news, but your takes on entertainment suck more than a struggling actress. 0.97

02:00:30.000 Yeah. 0.96

02:00:33.000 That was a sick burn.

02:00:34.000 You got me.

02:00:36.000 But the reality is, my takes on entertainment are as pleasurable as a struggling actress.

02:00:46.000 All right, let's see.

02:00:46.000 I mean, you could put it that way.

02:00:52.000 Memes, memes, memes.

02:00:53.000 Skimming, skimming, skimming.

02:00:54.000 Oh, but I always do this.

02:00:55.000 This is normal.

02:00:56.000 He does, that's true.

02:00:56.000 Yeah.

02:00:58.000 And we'll read a couple more here.

02:00:59.000 Dan Scope says, I'm 31 and a captain in the military.

02:01:02.000 12 years of my life committed to service, and soon I'll be starting over from scratch and refusing to follow a lawful order.

02:01:08.000 Any advice for starting over?

02:01:09.000 Great show.

02:01:11.000 Oh, man.

02:01:12.000 One foot in front of the other, one foot in front of the other, and never stop.

02:01:15.000 The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

02:01:18.000 One day at a time.

02:01:20.000 Just gotta figure it out, man.

02:01:21.000 Look, I want to address one more thing from the article and stuff that's coming up in the chats.

02:01:27.000 People are saying that I use this word, little girls, and they're trying to make it out like I'm some sort of pedo.

02:01:31.000 Come on, guys.

02:01:32.000 Little girls is about BDSM.

02:01:34.000 Daddy, little girl.

02:01:36.000 Let's just put that out there.

02:01:37.000 I'm older.

02:01:38.000 She's younger.

02:01:39.000 People come to me.

02:01:40.000 It's a kink thing. 0.99

02:01:41.000 Daddy, little girl.

02:01:42.000 Get over it, guys. 0.97

02:01:43.000 I'm sorry that I had sex, y'all. 0.96

02:01:45.000 Get a life, dude. 0.99

02:01:46.000 Jeez.

02:01:46.000 That's it.

02:01:48.000 Next.

02:01:50.000 I'm gonna keep... I said this a couple weeks ago, I would forgive Jesse Smollett if he apologized.

02:01:56.000 I would forgive Joey Salad if he apologized. 0.99

02:01:59.000 I'm not here to play with, you know, stupid drama issues. 0.99

02:02:05.000 Yeah. 0.99

02:02:06.000 I want to talk about important issues and expanding and growing and, you know, whatever.

02:02:12.000 All right, Ellen... Lynn Jin says, so as a billionaire, Tim, you would just be paying Michael Malice to be Michael Malice just on a bigger scale?

02:02:19.000 Oh, yeah!

02:02:20.000 Yes, we would!

02:02:20.000 Man, I would be like, Michael, what's your budget requirement?

02:02:24.000 Do everything!

02:02:25.000 It'd be amazing!

02:02:28.000 But it's more than just money, though, I will admit.

02:02:30.000 Michael needs to be a press secretary for, you know, in a presidential campaign.

02:02:34.000 He needs, there's positions you can get to without, you know, with money, without money, so... But yeah, definitely.

02:02:40.000 I'd just be like, here's a million dollars, Michael.

02:02:43.000 Like, please, continue to be yourself and just do more of this.

02:02:47.000 I'd actually be like, do you know anyone else we could hire to be on Twitter doing the same thing?

02:02:51.000 And they would be like, Tim Pool runs this propaganda farm with all these people on Twitter.

02:02:55.000 What do they do?

02:02:55.000 They post weird trolling posts.

02:02:57.000 I can't, I don't know. 0.99

02:02:59.000 Make people look dumb, I guess. 0.90

02:03:02.000 Michael's a guy that I would like to make contact with. 0.98

02:03:04.000 I haven't been able to get in touch with him.

02:03:06.000 He's interesting.

02:03:07.000 Oh yeah, he's out in Austin.

02:03:08.000 Yeah.

02:03:10.000 All right, let's read a couple more.

02:03:11.000 Let's read a couple more.

02:03:12.000 Wow, we're getting just so many super chats.

02:03:15.000 Rack it up.

02:03:16.000 Buy me some more top shelf Japanese booze with this money, would you?

02:03:20.000 Eggman says, so if people disagree or point something out that you don't like, surely they can't be your usual audience?

02:03:26.000 Come on, man.

02:03:27.000 No, I didn't say that.

02:03:28.000 I'm saying that if, so if we have thousands of dollars in Super Chats that we don't normally get, that means there's more people here giving us Super Chats than they normally do.

02:03:39.000 That's what I'm saying.

02:03:40.000 Yeah.

02:03:41.000 And people who are observing, who are friends of mine or whatever, they're texting me about the chats are like, it seems like a different crew in there.

02:03:48.000 Although I got to say, ordinarily the chats are pretty vicious.

02:03:52.000 There's pretty, there's like bots in there.

02:03:54.000 There's people being mean in there.

02:03:56.000 It's an interesting place for people to get their sort of jollies.

02:03:59.000 I think it's funny that, you know, on, what was it?

02:04:02.000 Like November 7th, I said, Joe Biden won the election. 0.93

02:04:04.000 And all the Trump people were like, Tim Pool is a loser, and started yelling at me, and I'm like, well, I guess whatever.

02:04:10.000 Like, I don't know, people think that I'm going to change my opinions because they're yelling at me in chat, and then people are saying, like, I'm unsubscribing or whatever, and I'm like, I guess. 0.96

02:04:19.000 Yo, if you don't like me, like, I'm sorry, you don't like me.

02:04:21.000 You're allowed not to, and you're free to watch other shows.

02:04:24.000 The data doesn't bear that out though, does it?

02:04:27.000 Well, no, look, I'll say this right now.

02:04:28.000 If there's a bunch of people who are watching, big fans of the show, and they're mad at me over my stance on this, then with respect, I genuinely mean this.

02:04:36.000 I'm sorry I let you down.

02:04:37.000 And if you don't want to watch the show anymore, then, you know, that's the choice you've made.

02:04:41.000 I can only be me and I will only ever be me.

02:04:43.000 So if you don't like it, then maybe there's nothing more I can do.

02:04:47.000 Maybe, maybe I'm not the guy for you.

02:04:48.000 I don't know.

02:04:49.000 We're going to keep doing these shows.

02:04:50.000 There you go, Tim.

02:04:52.000 Let's, uh, we'll read a couple more here.

02:04:52.000 All right.

02:04:54.000 Let's see.

02:04:55.000 Bezinski says, when are you creating Tim coin and NFTs?

02:04:57.000 We're working on NFTs.

02:04:58.000 We're working on all the art, the portraits we have of creating just like a digital version of the art.

02:05:03.000 You know, we, we had like, uh, some funny ideas and they were like trading card versions.

02:05:07.000 And I was like, no, no, no, no, no.

02:05:09.000 I don't want to sell likeness on a trading card.

02:05:12.000 We just have portraits of people they signed and we want to post the pictures of them and then give people their, like, you know, NFT version of it, the digital version and the physical version.

02:05:22.000 All right.

02:05:25.000 Let's see.

02:05:26.000 Let's get a super chat down here.

02:05:29.000 The scroll time in between chats is longer than usual today.

02:05:33.000 It's not longer than usual.

02:05:34.000 There's no Luke and Ian to keep talking while I'm scrolling.

02:05:37.000 There you go.

02:05:37.000 That's true.

02:05:39.000 I killed Luke before the show. 0.52

02:05:41.000 It was bloody. 0.83

02:05:41.000 It's true. 0.83

02:05:41.000 He did. 0.83

02:05:43.000 There is only one and it is I.

02:05:45.000 Tyler Miel says, would love to come ride your skate park with you from MD.

02:05:48.000 Love the show, Tim.

02:05:50.000 Um, we're thinking about doing an open skate night.

02:05:52.000 The problem is liability.

02:05:53.000 Like we weren't able to get people here, so we need to get the new space.

02:05:57.000 If I tried to ollie, I would break my ankle immediately.

02:06:01.000 All right.

02:06:01.000 Let's see.

02:06:02.000 That'd be fun to see.

02:06:05.000 I'd watch that.

02:06:06.000 Watch me break my ankle on a skateboard?

02:06:08.000 I'm joking.

02:06:10.000 I'd feel terrible.

02:06:11.000 You are.

02:06:13.000 Okay, let's see.

02:06:16.000 Um, there was one I was looking for kind of disappeared after I must have, someone must have removed it.

02:06:21.000 Okay, okay, there.

02:06:22.000 Here it is.

02:06:23.000 So Dima Koleftis says, Did you Jack make amends to Sydney?

02:06:29.000 Honestly, all I care about.

02:06:30.000 A hundred percent.

02:06:32.000 I made amends to her within a handful of hours privately.

02:06:36.000 She responded.

02:06:38.000 She accepted my apology.

02:06:39.000 She offered her own apology.

02:06:41.000 She in no way intended to put me in a bad spot and she acknowledged that she didn't pick up on the signals and the direct A request that I was making of her to not talk about that subject.

02:06:53.000 She apologized to me.

02:06:54.000 I apologized to her.

02:06:55.000 We made up.

02:06:56.000 Elijah and I went out that night.

02:06:58.000 We made up.

02:06:59.000 You know, we apologized.

02:07:00.000 We made up.

02:07:01.000 Everything is all good with me, Sydney, and Elijah.

02:07:03.000 And we've been DMing about this being like, why are people still talking about this?

02:07:07.000 Why doesn't everybody just let it go?

02:07:09.000 You know, me and Sydney are cool.

02:07:11.000 Everybody else should be cool.

02:07:13.000 The reason I want to read that last one just in case anybody who joined in and didn't know that they may have seen drama or whatever and didn't know that you guys had apologized and everything.

02:07:20.000 Yeah, and I did publicly on my Twitter also.

02:07:22.000 I just want to say this.

02:07:24.000 If you guys want to win a culture war, you have to forgive people.

02:07:29.000 If you want to lose a culture war, you can be like the cancel culture leftists and engage in a circular firing squad.

02:07:35.000 But that's why when Joey Salads first tweeted at me and I snapped at him, I was like, that's a big mistake.

02:07:42.000 That's a big, big mistake.

02:07:43.000 Joey's got his platform.

02:07:44.000 He's an influential guy.

02:07:46.000 I should hear what he has to say.

02:07:47.000 I should talk to him about it.

02:07:48.000 And if he's genuinely saying he's sorry, then I should absolutely work with him on this because we want people to be on the right side of freedom and liberty.

02:07:58.000 And then people are like, yeah, but he's only apologizing because his career will end if he doesn't, and I'm like, well, okay then, if we can make him be a better person, because he's got a fear behind it, I'm like, at the very least, he'll be doing good.

02:08:10.000 That's why I just say, man, anybody who apologizes, I'm willing to give forgiveness to a certain extent.

02:08:15.000 With that being said, smash that like button if you like the show, and if you don't, feel free to not, like, smash the like button or whatever, but also go to TimCast.com, become a member.

02:08:49.000 But we here at the TimCast compound, we're very into Christmas.

02:08:53.000 It's just always been our, you know, I grew up with Christmas.
