In this episode, we talk about Joe Biden's near-fatal fall down the stairs, a new poll that shows 33% of Americans don't think Joe Biden is mentally or physically capable of being president, and the new list of people who need their phones taken away by the government.
00:00:55.000engaged in peace talks with China, and it seems like they're not going too well because the AP is reporting it's unusual the level of bickering and a smackdown that's been going on back and forth.
00:01:11.000But China is accusing the U.S., I kid you not, of slaughtering black people, exploiting the Black Lives Matter and woke narrative to criticize the U.S.
00:01:22.000tries calling out the concentration camps and other things.
00:01:25.000Other than that, China's been saying that in the U.S., we have no grounds to complain about democracy over there because the people in the U.S.
00:01:32.000don't even agree with American democracy either, and the whole thing seems to be Well, highly unusual, they say, but shocking to a lot of people because among many conservatives, they believe China would never speak like this if Donald Trump was still president.
00:01:47.000I think maybe it's just escalation, whether it was Trump or Biden.
00:01:51.000There's been an ongoing escalating tension between the two countries.
00:01:55.000But in terms of China calling the U.S.
00:01:57.000weak, and they did, we got this video of Joe Biden nearly falling down the stairs, which is getting a lot of attention.
00:02:03.000Now, Biden's saying, it was just the wind.
00:02:59.000So, for example, if someone tweets something, a genuinely bad take, you know, it could be Comparing, say, Trump to Hitler, although that is actually very trite and commonplace, but something, for example, you know, if the Chinese Communist Party tweets out something insane about the United States, knowing obviously how hypocritical it is, they'll go on the list for it.
00:04:32.000The reason I think this is great, and I'm stoked that PocketNet is sponsoring the show, is one thing we keep talking about is some kind of open source code anybody can use to have their own decentralized social media platform or website.
00:04:46.000Now maybe they'll still come after your infrastructure, maybe you start your own website, but this is one way to guarantee that doesn't happen.
00:04:53.000There are a lot of different social media sites, but PocketNet seems to be the first and only truly decentralized.
00:04:58.000So, again, really, really grateful for their sponsorship.
00:05:01.000You guys can go to pocketnet.app, sign up, and I guess nobody can ban you.
00:05:07.000So, you know, for better or for worse, we believe in free speech.
00:05:10.000When you're there, I guess you're gonna have all the free speech in the world.

00:05:18.000We had Kurt Schlichter the other day talking about Rand Paul and Dr. Fauci.
00:05:22.000We had, you know, Jack Murphy, we were talking about Joe Biden and that weird CGI video that wasn't really CGI, we debunked that.
00:05:28.000And of course, Lieutenant Colonel Alan West was on the show.

00:05:47.000of slaughtering Black people and says Americans have little faith in democracy as talk tensions flare.
00:05:54.000They said the two nations met face-to-face in Anchorage, Alaska on Thursday evening, for the first time since President Joe Biden took office.
00:06:00.000But any hopes that bilateral relations could be reset after years of trade wars and tensions over cybersecurity during Trump's presidency were quickly stamped out.
00:06:09.000Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan opened the meeting by referring to concerns over Beijing's human rights record.
00:06:40.000They did not just emerge over the past four years such as Black Lives Matter.
00:06:44.000This is really annoying to me, because the narrative for the most part from Black Lives Matter is overhyped, exaggerated, and just... I'm gonna say it, not true.
00:06:52.000I don't know if... I think you may have seen this, Ian, but did you see the poll where they asked liberals and conservatives how many innocent, you know, or how many black people were killed by police in 2019?
00:07:06.000And liberals said over a thousand, and the actual number is 27.
00:07:10.000So what's happening is, yeah, we have this media narrative, this big lie, where they keep saying these things over and over again.
00:07:18.000And you get these people who genuinely believe that cops are going around hunting down black people.
00:07:23.000If I thought that was true, I'd be out there with Black Lives Matter every single day.
00:07:41.000Our own media is tearing our country apart, in my opinion.
00:07:45.000And now China's accusing us of being weak.
00:07:47.000Yeah, it's kind of interesting, you know, China obviously can't look in the mirror and ever call out their own sins.
00:07:53.000For example, obviously just how oppressive they are to their own people, the re-education camps of Uyghurs, basically Hong Kong and threatening their autonomy, and jailing basically any political dissident.
00:08:07.000So they have no, obviously no moral standing on this issue.
00:08:11.000I just find it hilarious that they think that the U.S.
00:08:14.000government is sanctioning, like, basically all this terrorism against one, you know, racial demographic.
00:08:40.000I mean, if you remember under the Obama administration and the plane situation, the plane confrontation, and they basically made them, I think it was like, they wouldn't let them land or get off the plane.
00:08:54.000Yeah, this is this is this happened under the Obama administration.
00:08:57.000I don't know if this is something that, you know, it was an almost an international incident that had to get stamped out quickly because China, they ramped up the aggression against, you know, foreign diplomats or I guess U.S.
00:09:15.000diplomats entering the country and they had to get a covid test.
00:09:17.000Well, so we'll jump to that in a second.
00:09:19.000But the point I want to make is As the tensions escalate, as U.S.
00:09:26.000power wanes internationally, and other countries are losing confidence in whether or not the United States could even defend a place like Taiwan or the South China Sea, China's getting more and more brazen.
00:09:49.000Now, as for the butt swabs thing, which was like a huge story, I think it's fair to say if Donald Trump was president, that would not have happened.
00:09:57.000Yeah, that's fair to say, but I also, and we were talking about this, I don't think under the Trump administration they would willingly send out a group of diplomats to China in the middle of a trade war and basically subject themselves to something like this.
00:10:14.000I mean, during the trade war negotiations for the first trade deal that they agreed to, All the negotiations happen in Washington, D.C., literally across from the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which is the White House.
00:10:26.000But they're sending diplomats to China for, what, routine work?
00:11:16.000So I just wanted to point out that the whole confrontation with the Obama administration So the US military always sends out a set of rolling air stairs on every single presidential trip and so they have to seek Chinese approval to use the equipment and when President Obama arrived in China, the Chinese reversed their position.
00:11:39.000They wouldn't let him get off the plane.
00:11:41.000Yeah But was Obama supposed to be there?
00:12:34.000But at the same time, Trump was telling everybody here in the United States, like, obviously, we're going to be implementing all these tariffs on China.
00:14:39.000But then everybody just ignored China.
00:14:42.000And now we're realizing everything that's happening there.
00:14:45.000You have the Uyghur re-education camps, you have Hong Kong autonomy withering away, you have the oppression of basically everyone and their political dissidents.
00:14:56.000They have the Belt and Road Initiative, which basically it mortgages the future of basically every single country abroad that China does business with, particularly in Africa.
00:15:09.000They build up their infrastructure in exchange for so like they'll give, say, a country like, you know, Mozambique or, you know, name name your country in Africa, you know, Billion dollar loans, but we get to control your ports.
00:15:33.000And so they get all this economic control over these countries, and they get to gain access to their valuable resources, whatever mining, whatever grain, you name it, farming.
00:15:46.000Yeah, they just consolidate that power.
00:15:49.000And the reason why they're still on the come up is, and this obviously is tied into the political oppression, is that when you only have one single thought, you can get a lot more done.
00:15:58.000I think Bill Maher was talking about it, as well as Tucker Carlson, interestingly enough, in the same week, about how China is particularly strong in their military, because they just focus on the job and just get it done.
00:16:11.000And I think Bill Maher's criticism in particular, It wasn't praiseworthy of the Chinese Communist Party, but really highlighting how because they're so authoritarian, they can get more done.
00:16:22.000And we are so democratic, we can get nothing done.
00:16:26.000And it's... Democratic is one way to put it.
00:16:28.000I think what we're seeing is our values were exploited, sowing division, and this, this Western imperialism of sorts, whatever you want to call it, where we have like the International Monetary Fund, where we have the UN and NATO, the United States and their military bases everywhere.
00:16:46.000Like you're mentioning, what was it, was the, the Belt and... Belt and Road Initiative.
00:16:49.000Yeah, so China is essentially giving loans, building up infrastructure in these countries to then have massive debt that will give them economic control.
00:16:59.000That's what the Western powers used to do, or still probably do.
00:17:03.000Well, that's what colonialism was based on.
00:17:07.000It may not have been as, say, concrete as what the Belt and Road Initiative is, but it was basically controlling territories to gain access to the resources.
00:17:15.000In exchange for, say, example like French colonialism.
00:17:19.000French colonialism was basically, we're going to exchange whatever you got, and we're going to give you French culture.
00:17:25.000Because that's like, you know, we're superior to your inferiority.
00:17:29.000What we are seeing is China engaging in neo-colonialism.
00:17:34.000It's effectively just colonialism, but you know, from history till now, they're starting up a new process.
00:17:45.000They're seeing a lot of, you know, the creation of a lot of wealth as they expand.
00:17:48.000They then naturally want to move to other countries to find opportunity and to find more space.
00:17:54.000I actually, interestingly enough about the Belt and Road Initiative is that they don't even hire locally.
00:17:59.000They bring in their own workers from China to build up these, you know, whatever level of infrastructure, roads, bridges, buildings, you name it.
00:18:23.000So listen, China is absolutely displacing the Western strategies and foreign policy, and they're sending in Chinese workers to a lot of countries.
00:18:33.000Many people who are just regular old citizens of China are naturally just emigrating to other countries.
00:18:44.000Then you end up with lots of Chinese immigrants in other countries setting up their own little communities in Chinatowns and things like that.
00:18:49.000Then you get the Belt and Road Initiative, which creates the economic power structure.
00:18:53.000Eventually, you're going to have many countries which are just going to be like second world satellites of China.
00:20:57.000Bill Maher, interestingly enough, and I agree with him on a lot of points, even if he didn't get everything right in his little monologue from last week, he pointed out how China already won.
00:21:11.000Because the fact that we're still bickering over things like the culture war, cancel culture, you name it, these are distractions to the bigger picture.
00:21:21.000And in terms of global influence, you know, the United States are, you know, we, you know, I saw a t-shirt once that said we're number one, but there was no apostrophe in it.
00:22:19.000It was a bunch of different countries expressing this, you know, control.
00:22:24.000I mean, we, they, they, well, after 9-11, there was, they invoked Article 5 of NATO.
00:22:30.000Getting us to the point where we had every NATO nation as well as we got Australia, New Zealand involved in basically the invasion of Afghanistan, which then turned into the invasion of Iraq.
00:22:52.000And that has depleted our economy tremendously.
00:22:56.000And if you ever want to talk about how climate change impacts it, you know, it doesn't help it.
00:23:03.000You guys ever hear of the Non-Aligned Movement?
00:23:06.000It's basically the other United Nations on Earth.
00:23:08.000There's the United Nations that we know of, and then all the countries that aren't involved with it are in this united group of nations called the Non-Aligned Movement.
00:23:41.000Well, there's also BRICS, the BRICS nations.
00:23:43.000I mean, that's the thing is like so Iran and the United States are their interests are diametrically opposed. Iran wants basically hegemony over
00:23:58.000the region. The United States, I mean, the Iranian regime has been on the path of terror
00:24:04.000for quite some time, funneling money to Hamas, Hezbollah, you name it.
00:24:10.000They've been killing our guys and our men and women overseas.
00:24:15.000I don't imagine that's going to happen anytime soon.
00:24:17.000Unless, of course, President Biden tries to get the Iran nuclear deal going on again.
00:24:25.000Look, I am fine with making friends with other countries, so long as it isn't to our detriment and we're not being taken advantage of.
00:24:34.000And I don't think that the Iranian regime would be acting in good faith.
00:24:38.000I'm looking at China, like the Nazi Party, and if we had allied with Russia before the Nazis invaded Poland, we could have possibly prevented it.
00:25:02.000And unless we ally now with Russia and India and Iran and all of these countries around China, they're going to do some crazy invasion.
00:25:10.000Well, the thing is, like China and Iran are basically in bed with each other because, I mean, When Iran doesn't have, you know, any of its allies to go to.
00:25:19.000If it doesn't have the United States to go to to, say, funnel them cash, they'll go to Russia and they'll go to China.
00:25:24.000Because China definitely wants to have them on their side.
00:25:27.000Anyone who's an enemy of the United States is their friend.
00:25:31.000And like we're talking about, it's China doing everything in their power to expand their influence to anyone who's willing to listen.
00:25:38.000And I think that, I wonder if there's elements of the U.S.
00:25:42.000that are worried about war, so they're already essentially resigning to the fact that we will lose.
00:25:48.000I think it was, we were talking with Kurt, he said there's war games that the U.S.
00:25:52.000has done with China, and in all of these war games we just lose, lose, lose.
00:25:57.000I can only imagine there's a lot of really rich people who are probably like, all right, well, if that's inevitable, I'm going to move my money over.
00:26:02.000I'm going to move my money to China and focus on that business.
00:26:06.000And then in 50 years, when this whole system in the West falls apart, China will be the dominant superpower.
00:26:11.000Then you will have an authoritarian ethno-state exerting their cultural influence over all the other countries on the planet.
00:26:18.000I would argue, obviously, and I don't know if I've said this before, but if it sounds like I'm repeating myself, then I apologize.
00:26:24.000But I think Richard Nixon's greatest mistake was not anything to do with Watergate.
00:26:29.000It actually had to do with opening the United States to China.
00:26:32.000Because for some reason, I don't know what miscalculation took place, but it was a miscalculation.
00:26:38.000And I was assuming that the Chinese Communist Party, which at that time had only existed for about about 20, 21 years after the Chinese Civil War, after World War II, that by introducing capitalism to them, they would somehow modernize.
00:26:54.000And what they did is they basically adapted.
00:26:56.000They kept their system in place, and they basically turned their society into a pseudo-capitalist
00:27:03.000one that encouraged commerce and encouraged other corporations from other countries, namely
00:27:10.000from the United States, to come to them, get cheap manufacturing, build their products,
00:28:13.000That's a very it's it is a very real problem, but not one that's discussed very often.
00:28:18.000And that is how a number of different universities in the United States have these institutes called Confucius Institutes.
00:28:25.000And what they do is that they basically, it's like exporting the ideas of the Chinese Communist Party to, you know, you know, malleable minds here in the United States.
00:28:38.000But also, you know, you can look at the Chinese exchange students who come to the United States, and I'm not saying that them coming here is bad, but what ends up happening is they start to adapt, or they start to adopt some You know, values that we here in America embrace, they start to get, you know, maybe think that, like, American values are actually much better than Chinese values, and they correct that issue right away.
00:29:02.000They have, like, sort of a self-policing system, and so if any exchange student gets out of line, you know, they're gone.
00:30:17.000Um, so Fang Fang, she had basically embedded herself as a sort of like a, I guess not like a money roller, like basically someone who would, a cash bundler.
00:31:25.000And now we know that the institutions have been infiltrated by the Basically, by the concepts of this, you know, what, 80-year plan that Yuri Bezmenov talked about it.
00:31:34.000Other people, it's like they've been in here trying to divide us and now they're calling it out because their plan, they're basically activating the plan.
00:31:41.000Well, we do know that there was a Chinese spy that worked in Senator Dianne Feinstein's office.
00:32:43.000Why would they let us know if they could stay in our ranks forever?
00:32:47.000And focus all the blue shells on us and not them.
00:32:49.000And also not to mention, think of the people who are actually... And this is something that people think, oh, just because they're Chinese they have to be a spy.
00:32:57.000Think about all the non-Chinese spies that there are.
00:32:59.000I mean, they are spies for the Chinese government, but they're not ethnically Chinese.
00:33:04.000But no, but also think about when COVID first started, and they lied to the WHO, and then the WHO ended up lying to the world.
00:33:11.000China ordered Chinese citizens in various countries to buy personal protective equipment and ship it back to China so they could use it during the pandemic.
00:33:20.000While they were lying to us saying everything's fine, don't worry about it.
00:33:26.000They were just people who were living in other countries for school or for whatever reason, working at the behest of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:33:33.000It makes me think of Civilization, the game.
00:33:54.000What's that thing where the Thousand Talents Program, where they're buying up these college professors, offering them cash, then professors are lying about it, getting caught and getting arrested?
00:34:33.000There are too many people who... And this is, you know, obviously, because hindsight's 20-20, and we always look back and think of, you know, if another Holocaust happened, how would we react to it?
00:34:47.000But that's the thing is, like, you know, everybody thought that, and I referenced the Syrian Civil War, because that seemed like an interesting You know, that was a very bloody affair that has winded down.
00:35:00.000But everybody, there were a lot of people in the United States clamoring for intervention, thinking that that was basically another genocide that was taking place.
00:35:09.000And now we have this situation here in Xinjiang with the Uyghurs being locked up in re-education camps.
00:35:14.000We're seeing drone footage of them on train platforms, all in jumpsuits, blindfolded, shaved heads, you know, hands and feet bonded up.
00:35:24.000And that is the closest thing I have ever seen in my life to what we saw in the Holocaust.
00:36:39.000China's not stupid enough to just storm the borders of India, necessarily.
00:36:45.000I mean, the conflict happening on the border with India, what was it?
00:36:48.000They were fighting with sticks and stones?
00:36:50.000Because they know there's going to be fighting, but they know what propaganda is, they know how information warfare works, and they know what will happen if all the people of the world demand conflict.
00:37:00.000It's bad enough they got the concentration camps, but a lot of people still will be like, we're not going to do war, it will wipe out the planet.
00:37:06.000If they stormed into India with guns and took land, then everyone would freak out and say, it's happening anyway, we gotta stop it from happening.
00:38:23.000I think he was a cross dresser but was not transgender.
00:38:26.000Anyways, Eddie Izzard the comedian said something that was really prescient at the time and it was it was sort of like an analyzing history and how you know the biggest The biggest mistake that Hitler made was not, you know, anything he had to do within Germany that was invading other countries.
00:38:46.000You know, because you have Mao Zedong killed probably most people of any other dictator.
00:38:53.000You know, a number of different dictators.
00:38:56.000The key theme for them and the reason they were able to stay in power is that they never invaded any other countries.
00:39:02.000And so China came close to it when you had the Korean War and they were basically trying to impose of course the United States fought back at it, went to stalemate, now you have North Korea.
00:39:17.000And now you have China invading many other countries with the Belt and Road Initiative.
00:39:30.000You want to gain control of resources and territory, right?
00:39:34.000Or you want to stop a threat, maybe it's preemptive war, but usually it's about gaining access to a resource and certain territory from advantage for your country.
00:40:11.000They're going to these people and they're basically, they're going to these countries and saying, if you sell your country to me with this deal, you will live like the king of kings.
00:40:23.000And then when you're dead, we'll take your country.
00:40:27.000And a lot of these people are like, works for me.
00:40:29.000The country will improve, the lives of my people will improve, and then in 50 years, China will be in charge with exercising debt and control over our country.
00:41:13.000When they go to one country and say, we're going to give you all this money to help you with your infrastructure, and that country says no, they go, okay, well, then we'll give it to your neighbor.
00:41:25.000People know that in these countries, they might have pressure where it's like, we've got conflict with these different groups, with these different tribes, with these different countries, governments.
00:41:34.000And so if China starts arming and building up their infrastructure, how long will you last?
00:42:22.000If you don't have red states trusting the president and agreeing to work together towards a common goal, then the president just represents the blue states.
00:43:31.000I shouldn't even say it's cold, because people have literally been shot and killed, notably in Portland, for instance.
00:43:36.000But it's not like factions with armies marching towards each other.
00:43:39.000The issue is, the best example is Joe Biden comes out, talks about COVID, Florida, Texas, other red states, just look at Joe Biden and say, buzz off.
00:43:48.000We do not take your advice, and we do not care what you think.
00:43:51.000So you got blue states saying, you got it, Joe, and red states saying, we don't agree with the president.
00:44:35.000That's why a lot of people do believe Obama was the time that this division happened, but I'm like, look... I think it started before that.
00:44:42.000Right, you can reduce it further and further.
00:45:06.000Then you get people who are accusing we're claiming it was stolen back then.
00:45:09.000Like even even Donald Trump was saying that, you know, Mitt Romney.
00:45:12.000And the interesting thing about that is a lot of people tied the Supreme Court fight of the 2000 election to distracting our intelligence agencies from what Al Qaeda was up to in the lead up to 9-11.
00:45:33.000Yeah, between the Clinton and the Bush administrations that a lot of people look at that as the one area where Al Qaeda basically made its move to enact to basically attack the United States through 9-11.
00:45:45.000I think that was where we saw a big political split.
00:45:48.000But an interesting thing happened in 2008 with the economic crisis, because we had Ben Stewart here who was talking about Strauss-Howe generational theory.
00:46:01.000You've got spring, summer, fall, and winter.
00:46:04.000After winter, this great conflict, this great crisis, comes a spring where everything is really good, the economy blossoms and booms, then you have a summer where it's maintained and people are happy, then a fall where things are getting shaky and chaotic, and then a winter again where the chaos breaks out.
00:46:19.000So right now, we are in the winter period.
00:46:22.00080 years ago, the end of the last winter was World War II.
00:46:26.00080 years before that, it was the Civil War.
00:46:28.00080 years before that, the Revolutionary War.
00:46:31.000And apparently, they've mapped out, like, all of these things that have happened every 80 years, because it's based on generations.
00:46:38.000Strong men make good times, good times make weak men, weak men make hard times, hard times make strong men.
00:46:48.000It's similar to that idea that when you have a generation of people who fought through the trenches and many who didn't survive, only the strongest survive and come back and create a flourishing strong society of prosperity.
00:47:00.000Their children inherit that world and don't necessarily understand what it took to create it.
00:47:06.000The next generation inherits a world where they just feel entitled to it, which leads to chaos and collapse.
00:47:12.000So it feels like, you know, we're basically in this period now where we can expect, I guess, the winter is here.
00:47:22.000It's going to get bad and it's supposed to end around 2028.
00:47:24.000But my point was, the point I wanted to get to with 2008 was when we talk about when the political divide started and when chaos started to happen, they predicted in the 90s when they wrote this book called The Fourth Turning, that in 2008, when boomers became eligible for Social Security, the economic system was going to collapse.
00:47:42.000Perhaps everything we know about what caused the crisis, mortgage-backed securities and things like that, was actually just all the boomers now demanding their entitlements that didn't exist and figuring out how to cover it up.
00:47:56.000Not cover it up, but like cover the costs of this.
00:47:59.000When you look at the M1 money supply, it's slowly stagnant over several decades.
00:48:05.0002008 happens, it increases by a factor of 10 or whatever.
00:48:52.000They were saying that Democrats made bad bets and investments that went sour and was going to completely disrupt pensions and 401ks and retirement plans.
00:49:07.000Yeah, I was hearing there's a conspiracy theory.
00:49:10.000That what actually happened was, COVID's legit, and we had a pandemic, we had a crisis, and we had 15 days to slow the spread.
00:49:17.000However, the economic crisis was real.
00:49:20.000We're supposed to have, you know, they say every 10 years there's like an economic downturn of some sort, and we kind of dodged that for some reason.
00:49:27.000I heard a conspiracy theory, I'm not saying it's true, I'm saying it's literally probably not true, that Democrats made bad bets with, you know, unions made bad bets, they could, you know, they made bad investments, the investments soured, and then when COVID hit, they knew that there was going to be a serious collapse of retirement funds and people's 401ks and things like that.
00:50:08.000And it's covering the, I mean, look, New York's crumbling.
00:50:11.000The Metro, for instance, the MTA, they're struggling to repair it.
00:50:16.000They're not making enough money as to how much it costs.
00:50:19.000So you had that whole situation with AOC where Amazon was going to come in and bring these 40,000 jobs, potentially $30 billion over 10 years.
00:50:26.000They needed that money to fix their train systems.
00:50:31.000And I guess, interestingly enough, with the amount of people that are probably leaving New York because of the lockdowns, I can imagine they're probably going to be making way for, you know, a vacuum of sorts.
00:50:57.000If they came out and said, My fellow Americans, several large unions with hundreds of thousands of members put their money in dangerous places and lost the retirements of millions of middle-class Americans.
00:51:09.000This is going to result in a ripple effect that wipes out... If they said something like that, people would freak out.
00:52:35.000I'm reading an article here from and that's too small.
00:52:38.000This article from MIT quotes a 2015 Forbes article that says we've paid back four point six trillion of the sixteen point eight trillion that we committed to that bailout over.
00:52:48.000I don't know how many years, 15 or 20 years or something.
00:52:55.000If we secretly committed $16 trillion in 2008 and we're still paying it back, maybe that's another explanation for why they just flooded the market with $12 trillion.
00:53:03.000I mean, dude, dude, the Federal Reserve, the fractional banking, fractional reserve system, it is a stack of cards.
00:55:21.000Basically what happens is, we're able to fund all of these wars and all this conflict because the Fed can print out money, loan it to whoever they want, without contributing anything to society.
00:55:30.000We've got missing trillions of dollars on the books or whatever from the Pentagon, some nonsense.
00:55:38.000We need to figure out how much money is being printed, who it's going to, and we don't know.
00:55:43.000At a certain point, if they can just snap their fingers and create money on the books and we don't understand the system, other people are exploiting it.
00:55:50.000The House of Cards is gonna fall over.
00:56:00.000You know, this is another aspect of the situation that bothers me is the oil economy, because it's so obvious that we're moving off an oil economy onto like a nuclear economy or something.
00:56:09.000Well, people still have an aversion to nuclear, so I don't think that's going to happen.
00:56:14.000People are afraid of the dirtiness of corium meltdowns, but like fusion or like thorium reactors, which is also a type of nuclear, which isn't dirty, doesn't have corium byproduct.
00:56:23.000So we're, I mean, it's amazing tech, but there's this massive resistance because if we go off oil, they can't extort the rest of the world to use our dollar anymore.
00:57:21.000Besides what people think of Elon Musk's opinions, I mean, Elon Musk is a in many ways he is a trailblazer because he is creating a renewable source of energy, but also commercializing space flight and to the powers that be, whatever that may be.
00:57:50.000They're not going to stop using fossil fuels.
00:57:53.000Fossil fuels have an excellent energy return on energy invested.
00:57:57.000So we, these good and noble Americans, know that solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, and hydro-dam electricity, all of these things are great cleaner alternatives.
00:58:11.000They don't produce that carbon emission.
00:58:15.000But they don't have a high enough return on the energy investment.
00:58:17.000In fact, to build solar panels requires a ton of oil.
01:00:16.000You produced it in your country, and we forced you to put it on the international market, and if you want to buy it back, you buy dollars from us first.
01:00:23.000Now, your trade federation, same deal.
01:00:26.000It's the oil produced in your own countries put on the international market.
01:00:29.000If you want some of it, you gotta buy it in US dollars.
01:00:32.000So trade for me and I'll give you what I think is fair.
01:00:35.000What ends up happening is, many countries have to be net exporters.
01:00:40.000In order to keep the strength of their currency sound, so they can buy US dollars in order to buy oil, even if it's produced by them or someone else.
01:00:49.000So, we know what happens to countries that talk about getting off the petrodollar.
01:01:31.000Yeah, if fusion technology became rampant, like, just ubiquitous, and then all of a sudden we go to, you know, this one country and we're like, yo, you haven't been calling to buy dollars in oil from us, and they're like, oh, we got fusion, we're good.
01:04:24.000China is rapidly expanding and growing, and it seems like we're losing that fight anyway, so at this point, get the fusion online, baby.
01:04:29.000Do you think that there's a concerted effort behind the scenes for the United States and China to divide the world between them with a petrodollar economy?
01:04:37.000And they're letting us bicker about human rights violations, but they don't really care, because for them it's business.
01:05:52.000Because the idea is that Right now, a lot of these global corporations, they can live off of basically selling a set of products just to the Chinese citizens and then a set of products to the rest of the world.
01:06:08.000They will actually manufacture stuff differently for two different audiences or two different I mean, that's true for a lot of factories, you know that, right?
01:06:16.000Like, when you go to Walmart to buy a TV, you're getting a different TV than if you buy it at Best Buy.
01:06:22.000So, if you go and there's a Sony or like, you know, a Samsung TV at Walmart, made with different materials than the Samsung TV at Best Buy.
01:06:39.000If you, if you Google search right now, anybody listening, if you Google search auto repair, are they going to send you New York auto repair?
01:06:45.000They're going to know exactly where you are and they're going to show you auto repair.
01:06:47.000They actually give different tech, like different coding of their browsers and stuff.
01:06:51.000Like they gave China a specific browser that could be used to track the people, if I'm not mistaken.
01:06:56.000Because China wouldn't let Google into the country, so they had to, like, build a specific... Well, they were working on... What was that thing called?
01:08:13.000One of the people competing held up a sign that said, free Hong Kong, and so the player got suspended, created a huge controversy, and then they were like, oh no no no, they got suspended because it was political in general, and we're not all about that.
01:08:40.000That is very pessimistic of him to say that.
01:08:42.000I think that we're definitely losing the military game.
01:08:45.000But like, if it's a grand game of Civ and you can win with religion, with culture, with military, with science, I don't think they're winning across the board.
01:09:14.000And so whatever relations that did exist, no longer exist.
01:09:19.000And so you basically would have to rely on any manufacturing company that would exist Say like, say an Apple or a, not Disney, but let's just focus on Apple for a second.
01:09:31.000If Apple was manufacturing iPhones in China and say the United States and China decouple, then all of a sudden Apple has to figure out how they're gonna manufacture their stuff and be able to sell that over in the United States and the rest of the world.
01:09:45.000And overnight that factory in China becomes property of China.
01:09:48.000And then they have the iPhone factories and they make iPhones for themselves and then we don't.
01:09:53.000Let's move to US media real quick because I want to advance the conversation.
01:09:57.000We have this tweet from Glenn Greenwald which is going to blow everybody's minds.
01:10:01.000Glenn tweeted, if you're a critic of the media, you need to hear this.
01:10:06.000Glenn Greenwald tweeted, Read this amazing section from Judge Silberman's dissent today in a defamation case before the D.C.
01:10:12.000Circuit on how an increasingly ideologically homogenized U.S.
01:10:17.000media is not only threatening core free speech values, but also the ability to be informed.
01:10:23.000In his dissent he wrote, it is well accepted that viewpoint discrimination raises the specter that the government may effectively drive certain ideas or viewpoints from the marketplace, but ideological homogeneity in the media or in the channels of information distribution RISKS REPRESSING CERTAIN IDEAS FROM THE PUBLIC CONSCIOUSNESS, JUST AS SURELY AS IF ACCESS WERE RESTRICTED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
01:10:46.000TO BE SURE, THERE ARE FEW NOTABLE EXCEPTIONS TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IDEOLOGICAL CONTROL.
01:10:51.000FOX NEWS, THE NEW YORK POST, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL'S EDITORIAL PAGE.
01:10:55.000IT SHOULD BE SOBERING FOR THOSE CONCERNED ABOUT NEWS BIAS THAT THESE INSTITUTIONS ARE CONTROLLED BY A SINGLE MAN AND HIS SON.
01:11:02.000WILL A LONE HOLDOUT REMAIN IN WHAT IS OTHERWISE A FRIGHTENINGLY ORTHODOX MEDIA CULTURE?
01:11:08.000After all, there are serious efforts to muzzle Fox News.
01:11:12.000And although upstart mainly online conservative networks have emerged in recent years,
01:11:16.000I think it might go on. No, so he doesn't continue from there, but I'll read the next
01:11:21.000section that Glenn posts. He said, it should be born in the mind that the first step taken by
01:11:27.000any potential authoritarian or dictatorial regime is to gain control of communications,
01:11:35.000It is fair to conclude, therefore, that one-party control of the press and media is a threat to a viable democracy.
01:11:42.000It may even give rise to countervailing extremism.
01:11:46.000The First Amendment guarantees a free press to foster a vibrant trade in ideas.
01:11:51.000But a biased press can distort the marketplace.
01:11:53.000And when the media has proven its willingness, if not eagerness, to so distort, it is a profound mistake to stand by unjustified legal rules that serve only to enhance the press's power.
01:14:04.000I'm not trying to get some random woman on the street in trouble with the woke, but I did want to show what she had basically said was conservatives who get physically attacked deserve it because of the way they dress.
01:14:16.000She said there was a woman wearing a MAGA hat.
01:14:22.000And so the issue there is when you think about the moral framework that exists in the minds of these people, when they say women who are wearing certain clothes aren't asking for it, but when it comes to Trump supporters, they are, it shows there's no actual principle behind their moral framework other than join the tribe or burn.
01:14:40.000She wanted me to delete the footage because her ideas would get her cancelled.
01:14:45.000When people heard what she said, you can't stick your neck out.
01:14:48.000So many of these people, they do their shows, the priests of the orthodoxy.
01:14:52.000The guests we have on this show, who are more than happy to come and speak, are confident in themselves, in classically liberal ideals of freedom of speech, and being honest, expressing themselves, and they're not scared about what the woke mob's gonna do to them.
01:15:05.000Well, that's, I mean, I think you're, that's an overstatement for me, since I have a very low self-esteem, which is why I got into media, so that my parents would know that's who I am.
01:16:18.000You know, do you want to be one of these, like, easily agitated, panicky, finicky, woke culture warriors working for one of these publications?
01:16:27.000Some people, but it's remnants of the old world, right?
01:16:35.000Young people grow up, millennials, hearing great stories about the prestigious New York Times.
01:16:41.000It is my dream to be a Times journalist.
01:16:43.000Congratulations, they hired you, and now you complain about TikTokers.
01:16:47.000Is that what you really thought you were gonna be doing?
01:16:49.000Or did you think you were gonna be, like, meeting in a parking garage, and some, like, source walks up, and he's got a manila folder, and he's like, please, don't tell anyone I was here, otherwise they'll kill me, and you're like, don't worry.
01:16:59.000I'm going to expose these criminals and then in reality, you're like, so the 17 year old on TikTok, you're never going to believe this, like as a TikTok mansion, right?
01:17:06.000But then like one of his friends showed up.
01:17:08.000That's what the New York Times has become.
01:17:11.000What young person who's actually on TikTok is looking at what these journalists at the New York Times are and going, I really want to be like that when I grow up.
01:17:20.000So what's happening now is these woke culture warriors of cancel culture at these big publications are not cool, and nobody wants to be like them.
01:17:38.000I don't know why this conversation reminds me of that, but it's specifically in the storyline of the first season with Starlight, who is trying to get into the Seven of Vaad.
01:17:47.000For those that aren't familiar, she's a superhero.
01:17:50.000She wants to join the big superhero organization.
01:19:17.000And everybody, everybody always laughs and then like jokingly ribs me for like, hey, don't make fun of pure flicks.
01:19:22.000It's like watching those really, like, really campy religious versions of films with, like, Bible Man or whatever and VeggieTales and stuff.
01:19:50.000It makes no sense, the pacing is off, I have no idea what the message is, and it's just like... nothing happens, I guess?
01:19:57.000And then a guy bursts into flames or something?
01:19:59.000The whole movie is a woke PSA, where they just keep giving off woke potshots of like, they'll be walking down the street and then one person makes a comment about being trans, and you're like, what does that have to do with the movie?
01:20:08.000Like, why is this dialogue in the film?
01:20:10.000Because they want to make sure you know they're woke.
01:20:12.000The wokeness is more important in the storyline.
01:20:15.000Thus, they've created something boring that nobody wants to engage with, the movie will fail, and then kids who see it will grow up thinking, that's not cool, I don't want to be like that.
01:20:25.000If it's not cool and doesn't inspire youth, it won't exist.
01:23:23.000You look at Joe Rogan's Twitter, what do you see?
01:23:25.000Instagram posts of him eating steak and his dog.
01:23:29.000And people like Joe Rogan, you know why?
01:23:31.000Because when you see him for who he is, you're like, oh, he seems like a cool dude.
01:23:35.000But then you turn to some of these other comedians and actors and stuff, and they're just posting nasty things, screaming, posting pictures of decapitated Trump heads, and you're like, I don't want to be around that.
01:23:47.000You know, this is kind of why the list exists.
01:23:51.000The list of people who should have their phones taken away.
01:23:53.000People who should have their phones taken away, because it's designed to save people from themselves.
01:23:58.000And the reason for that is because, as you mentioned, people are really nasty online.
01:24:02.000But if you don't enforce the list, then what does the list really do?
01:24:05.000Well, that's why I went independent, Tim.
01:24:09.000Oh, yeah, there's gonna be like two guys in suits showing up to like Brian Seltzer's house knocking on the door and be like, Brian, it's time.
01:25:08.000All right, so basically the way it works is someone tweets something really dumb, and then if it qualifies for like, you should have your phone taken away for tweeting that, you'll tweet at them like it's a meme post.
01:25:18.000There's one, there was one, I think of writing hand emojis.
01:25:56.000And what that person posted was really dumb.
01:25:59.000I don't want to be like the person put on the list.
01:26:01.000I want to be the person naming people who should be on the list.
01:26:04.000Well, it's interesting because I've gotten criticisms like I'm a hall monitor or I'm, you know, I'm basically waging a harassment campaign against people, which is obviously not true.
01:26:58.000Um, and he is the first person I put at number one and he doesn't have a blue check.
01:27:03.000He's not verified, but like everybody thinks it's because there's everybody, the list comes for all, but like there's a higher standard to meet if you're not verified because literally anybody could just post whatever you want.
01:27:13.000If you're not verified, if you're verified, there's a, you know, obviously like a standard that you, you, Well, yeah, you got the endorsement of Twitter.
01:27:20.000I was thinking that some of the value of your work, too, is like you mentioned the resonation that you feel from a musician, that vibration.
01:27:28.000Also, you put yourself on camera and your voice, so you're creating resonance, literal, physical resonance.
01:27:35.000It's so different than just writing, being behind a typing thing and putting words on the internet.
01:27:40.000Like, that's how you really affect people, in my opinion.
01:27:43.000I think this media, this internet video media is so powerful.
01:27:47.000I prefer video more than writing every day of the week.
01:27:51.000I mean, I was a commentary video writer.
01:27:53.000I mean, sorry, commentary video editor.
01:27:55.000I do edit videos, but, like, they had writer in there.
01:27:58.000I just, you know, because I did write from time to time, but, like, it was...
01:28:02.000If I, it turned out in probably like the last like three years of me being at The Examiner, is that if I wrote anything, it would already be a video.
01:28:11.000So like, without you seeing an article, it's really just like the script that I had in the video.
01:28:17.000It is a better way of reaching people because most people don't like to read.
01:28:21.000I mean, that's just kind of the way the world people have very low attention attention spans.
01:28:26.000Well, they can turn on a podcast and go work on something else.
01:28:59.000I should probably just game offline for a bit.
01:29:02.000It's gonna be really interesting the future because I see a lot of people like everybody has a twitch channel and they'll get like seven live viewers or whatever and I'm like who are these like seven people who are watching instead of playing and doing the stream themselves and what happens when everyone does and then everyone is streaming them playing a game and no one's watching a lot of people just have it on in the background yeah a lot of people yeah so it's you hear people saying like so I'm gonna go steal this car and then light this hooker on fire sometimes I'll I'll play the game heroes of the storm. It's a MOBA
01:29:30.000multiplayer online battle arena game and it sometimes It's just so stressful that I just want to watch other
01:29:35.000people play it So I don't have to worry about winning or losing. I just
01:29:38.000enjoy the process. I mean, I'm not very competitive at all which means I suck but I
01:29:43.000do enjoy just like the interaction and the fun that you get with like if if you play with a community of people like
01:29:50.000Just, like, the enjoyment and the jokes and laughter that you have with them.
01:29:55.000Yeah, some people just take gaming way too seriously, and that's probably why everybody wants to, like, crack down on gamers.
01:32:32.000We got Mr. Pool Doesn't Call On Me says, Tim, how does it feel to go from super white and not cared about to suddenly top of the oppressed charts and everyone loves you?
01:32:41.000It's, uh, it's what I've always dreamed of, you know?
01:32:44.000So as you know, Asian people were called white for the longest time, and so I'm double white, basically.
01:33:29.000I don't know what the full story is on that one, though.
01:33:30.000Yeah, I really hope somebody got cell phone video of that.
01:33:34.000This big protest in New York, I bring it up because that was one of the big, you know, things we saw of like thousands of people marching against white nationalism, which was like a weird thing to march against, but it did generate attention for the hate crimes against Asians.
01:33:45.000So now we had that, uh, that incident that occurred in Atlanta where this guy was like a sex addict.
01:33:52.000And so he was going to, he was accusing these shops of being like, you know, rub off shacks or whatever.
01:34:21.000And I mean, the unfortunate thing is, you know, as we were talking about how there's like two different Americans, two different Americas with competing information.
01:34:29.000This is one of those things where there's competing information about it.
01:34:56.000So... And if you deny it, that's proof.
01:34:57.000It also reminds me, you remember in like 2015, there was a parking dispute in North Carolina in an apartment complex and one neighbor, a white man, shot and killed three Muslim-Americans.
01:35:31.000It was one that it was, yeah, it was like, it was a, it was a brutal murder and it was horrific.
01:35:35.000And this guy is now, I think he's serving life in prison, but it was one of those things where like, is it a hate crime?
01:35:44.000The evidence of what we saw at the time did not really add up, but the fact that he murdered three Muslim women in hijab in the head covering, that was another one of those types of debates.
01:35:59.000They say correlation is not causation.
01:36:18.000Well, I get that, but it's, you know, there is such a thing as malice and intent, and... So then we should have... Okay, so if you commit a murder, and there's, like, no known motivation, it's just murder.
01:36:28.000But if you commit murder to steal money, then it's larcenal murder or financial murder.
01:36:33.000And then if you commit murder because of the clothes they're wearing, then it's fashion murder.
01:36:37.000And then we'll have different levels of punishment based on what you were feeling before you murdered the person.
01:37:15.000Look, this is the problem with hate crimes.
01:37:16.000Like, if there's a dude walking down the street wearing a MAGA hat and someone punches him, that person can be charged with a hate crime because political class is a protected... politics is a protected class in D.C.
01:37:29.000The issue I take with it is that we're trying to figure out people's, like, internal morals and motivations instead of looking at them and saying, he punched a guy.
01:38:11.000All we know is someone went in and said, I'm robbing this bank.
01:38:14.000When we get into the hate crime arena, we're trying to read people's minds to determine what was the cause of the crime in the first place, instead of just universally saying, dude, if you punch someone, you go to jail.
01:38:25.000I think they've actually decriminalized thievery of food in another country.
01:38:39.000Oh no, there's one where they're poor and starving and they steal food.
01:38:42.000I think in Virginia and like Michigan, the cops can't pull you over for like expired plates or blowing a stop sign or failing to turn signal or something like that.
01:39:43.000Can you give me the name of the people he killed?
01:39:46.000Can we get a ceremony for the victims?
01:39:47.000It was days before we realized who any of these people were because the media was too busy arguing about whether or not the guy was racist or not.
01:39:54.000Well, there is the aspect of, like, prevention in the future.
01:39:58.000So if you want to avoid something like this happening again, you need to understand their motivations in order to make sure whatever the warning signs were for this particular shooter and suspected murderer is that this doesn't happen to another person.
01:40:15.000I feel like you guys are both making extremely good points right now.
01:40:29.000Well, like if he killed because he was, because he was starving or if he killed because he hated the person's race, then you know, like, what problem do I need to address?
01:41:14.000I lived in Lahore, Pakistan for six years.
01:41:17.000And through there, I was able to travel to different parts of Asia, Africa, Europe.
01:41:23.000And that was definitely an eye-opening experience.
01:41:27.000And while not everyone is in a position where they could do that, I mean, that would be, for me, that is how, just literally interacting with different parts of your community, honestly.
01:41:39.000Because you don't know how other people operate.
01:41:44.000You will find that more people are just like you if they are part of another community.
01:41:49.000And you find that you have more in common with them.
01:41:51.000Once you build that little consensus, you can see them as human beings.
01:41:55.000Well, let's read some more Super Chats!
01:43:35.000But these were like movie grade, the kind that they would use for capturing audio like in an outdoor scene in a movie, like really expensive.
01:43:54.000And that's why I needed to switch, because when it was just me recording, I had this really expensive cinema-grade microphone, and it was great.
01:45:02.000Is it that the Biden administration is through the Daily Beast report?
01:45:06.000I'm sure you I'm sure some of you have seen it when they were basically sandbagging and sidelining their members of their administration for smoking weed.
01:45:59.000He was making a point about how me and Carl Benjamin changed.
01:46:03.000And then I went on, like, a three-minute rant about how people, like, were cowardly and gave up on the political fight and have, you know, given in to censorship because they're scared and blah, blah, blah.
01:46:53.000When Biden tripped, I guess some people expect the servicemen to run up and try and help him, but it was literally only like two or three seconds.
01:48:01.000He shouldn't he's not he's not fit for office.
01:48:04.000He was wearing dress shoes and like going slow so he didn't slip.
01:48:07.000I mean, you have, you have, I mean, over the course of the Trump presidency, you have stories from, uh, Brian Stelter, others who, you know, there was a letter from like 700 different psychologists trying to diagnose, uh, President Trump with a mental illness from afar.
01:48:23.000And I mean, like the, the stuff never stops.
01:48:25.000I am interested to see how this fallout compares because, I'm already seeing stories from, say, like, the New York Times saying, oh, you know, President Biden's 100% fine.
01:48:34.000Have you seen the movie Hoaxed from Mike Cernovich?
01:50:37.000And a lot of people just don't know how to use them.
01:50:38.000By the way, one of the very first list memes was when I was, I was Neo in that last scene of the first Matrix where he's, he stops the bullets.
01:54:45.000Hennessy Drew says, Tim, you only ever mentioned the Patriot that died in Portland.
01:54:48.000You are forgetting the other guy in Denver.
01:54:51.000Oh, that guy in Denver, he was killed by that security guard who was like a progressive activist, but he was there working as like faux security and he wasn't legally allowed to be.
01:55:02.000Track Media Only says they don't want peaceful divorce.
01:55:05.000If they ever changed, then it would be to consolidate and then later come for the other half.
01:55:10.000Dems want it all, and communism is all about give your stuff to others.
01:55:15.000I don't think the establishment Democrats are communists.
01:55:18.000I think they're short-term gain individuals.
01:55:21.000They're going to extract and exploit whatever they can, but there are communists on the far left who are willing to it, who are sitting in wait, letting the Democrats burn everything to the ground so that they can come and pick up the scraps and then get their communism.
01:55:36.000You say short-term is a great way of looking at it.
01:55:38.000It's like with this hate crimes against the Asian people.
01:55:42.000Something happens and then they make these sweeping I don't know who decided they're on the minority list or whatever the heck this list is, but it's like, something happens and then they immediately change.
01:55:55.000It's like, you gotta think of the big picture.
01:55:58.000It should have never been, I don't know.
01:56:00.000EW says, Ian, the government didn't create the oil industry, the entrepreneur did.
01:56:05.000Stop looking at government to answers.
01:59:24.000Michael Nguyen says, all I'm hearing from Greenwald is it's time to end New York Times v. Sullivan in order to smack the news media in the mouth hard enough to stagger them because they lie.
02:01:41.000Okay, so we know you're joking, but the media can write something like, you know, the story was amplified by Siraj Hajme, comma, who posts unhinged rants about dogs being president, clearly a sign of mental distress, comma.
02:01:59.000I mean, there's probably something wrong with me.
02:02:02.000They could even literally say that... So the issue is, there's often settlements.
02:02:08.000If you watch like Project Veritas, you'll see he always has the retracto.
02:02:11.000Usually that's because these people bend the knee immediately, because they know if you get past a motion to dismiss, you go to discovery and depositions, and that's when these organizations panic.
02:02:25.000Veritas just got passed a motion to dismiss with the New York Times, I think it was.
02:02:28.000Which means these writers now have to sit in a room, under oath, I believe, under penalty of perjury, and tell the truth.
02:02:35.000So it's really amazing what happens because they immediately, it's remarkable, Watch these videos that Veritas has put out, and you will laugh.
02:02:43.000Like, they'll write something like, you know, James O'Keefe once did a backflip off a building or whatever, or punched a dog, and they'll be sitting there in the room under deposition and go, No, he never punched the dog.
02:03:44.000And you get a crumbling economy, crumbling infrastructure, a failing president, a raucous China, and a media capitalizing off Joe Biden claiming he sucks.
02:04:23.000But I also thought Biden was going to win.
02:04:26.000As soon as Trump won, knowing Biden didn't run in 2016, I thought whatever happened in 2016, I knew that Trump was going to win like a week before the actual election.
02:04:40.000But afterwards, if Biden had been in that, I thought that there might have been a chance that he actually would have won.
02:04:47.000So in 2017, if Biden runs in 2020, he's going to win.
02:04:53.000The important thing to understand about shows like this and what I hate about the internet is there's context and then there's like temporal context or contemporary context.
02:05:01.000And the way I described it to you earlier is if I said something like, oh, Ian came to me and said, I am thirsty, but I don't like Gatorade.
02:05:11.000People could then take that statement where I said, I am thirsty but I don't like Gatorade, and take it out of context to attribute that quote to me.
02:05:18.000But there's something else, there's contemporary context, where I could be reading a news article from the New York Times that said, Gatorade put, you know, we won't use an actual brand.
02:05:29.000The New York Times might write an article saying, popular soft drink accidentally drops rat in beverage.
02:06:31.000Yeah, contemporary context to make it look like, uh, the captain was saying that the suspect, uh, the Atlanta shooting suspect was having a really bad day.
02:06:39.000What he was doing was that he was actually saying that this is what the suspect's explanation was of his own actions saying that he... Well, that's just general context.
02:09:22.000Look, I have a reserved, um, distaste for politicians.
02:09:28.000I realize that they're all human and they all have, you know, they're all set to do a job and they all have different pressures that influence them.
02:09:36.000So I am never going to praise a politician just outright for, you know, being good or being bad.
02:09:42.000I'm sorry, or criticize them when they're bad.
02:09:44.000Um, I will just call them out when I see them mess up.
02:10:29.000So I, I like Josh Hawley, but I, he's, he's, Yeah, you know, I begrudgingly say I like Josh Hawley because there's some things he's done that I like.
02:12:39.000You know, we end up getting, you know, like 30 to 40 thousand people watching it on every episode, but we only get around like 10,000 likes and it's just, you know, it's just everybody knew.
02:13:21.000And then we wanted to do the Chicken City thing last time, but then we got the chickens, and they were like, it's too cold, and we realized a security issue with Chicken City, so we're like, okay, we need to re-up security, and we basically had to, like, bury some stuff to prevent, you know, the jerks from trying to dig in to kill the chickens.
02:13:37.000So, we'll try our best, but thank you all so much for hanging out, for those who are members, for being members.
02:13:42.000And like I said, you can go to TimCast.com, click shop, get your Diamond Hands Gorilla shirt.

02:13:57.000Siraj, you want to shout anything out now that you're a free and independent man?
02:14:45.000I just had one final thought, because we were talking about the censorship and this judge's dissent, and I just wanted to say that this has occurred to me that social media is censoring much better than the government ever could have dreamed of.
02:14:56.000Nicholas Sawerk, who used to work for the Libertarian Party, commented earlier today on Twitter something about how Cancel culture is basically like just cultural accountability.
02:15:43.000When we set up TimCast.com and we got a bunch of members, that membership gave us the resources to hire a real dev team to, you know, like a large group, a big company to redesign and everything.
02:15:53.000So we used that, you know, base website as the launching point.
02:15:58.000We're gonna have a blog section where people can write articles for us, and we're gonna do news stories and things like that, and then we're gonna be launching a brand website that has the video game channel, the video games themselves.
