Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Chinese News Threatens To SHOOT DOWN PELOSI's Plane w-Ben Stewart & Lauren Southern

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:49.000 Chinese state media threatened that China the PLA would shoot down Nancy Pelosi's plane if she tried going to

00:01:15.000 Taiwan and And Chinese state media is CCP, which is effectively their government.

00:01:20.000 So I didn't want to put a headline being like China literally said they'd do it.

00:01:24.000 It's Chinese news that's saying they're going to do it.

00:01:27.000 But it's basically the propaganda mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party.

00:01:31.000 Maybe it's all bluster.

00:01:33.000 But Pelosi's trip to Taiwan is shaking things up.

00:01:37.000 The U.S.

00:01:38.000 has redeployed a strike group into the South China Sea, so naturally tensions are hot.

00:01:43.000 And maybe it's meaningless, maybe it'll just be more bluster, or maybe it's the start of something serious because, I don't know, there is conversation about the fourth turning.

00:01:50.000 We got that to talk about.

00:01:51.000 We also got the House just passed an assault weapons ban.

00:01:55.000 It's expected to just collapse in the Senate 50-50.

00:02:00.000 So we'll see.

00:02:00.000 And there's the filibusters.

00:02:01.000 It's probably not going to go anywhere.

00:02:03.000 We'll talk about that.

00:02:03.000 And then Tucker Carlson.

00:02:05.000 Oh, Tucker.

00:02:07.000 He said he wants to rename, or no, he literally said he did a poll, and they renamed Monkeypox to Schlunkovid.

00:02:13.000 Well, everybody's mad.

00:02:14.000 They're saying Tucker is homophobic for doing it.

00:02:16.000 A lot of people find it funny.

00:02:17.000 We'll talk all about that.

00:02:18.000 Before we get started, my friends, head over to TimCast.com.

00:02:22.000 Become a member if you would like to help support our work and get access to our uncensored After Hours show.

00:02:28.000 And in that, I will lightly address a little bit about last night.

00:02:32.000 Simply put, I guess that's something that you can't say.

00:02:36.000 It's that simple.

00:02:37.000 I posted on YouTube.

00:02:39.000 The issue was YouTube censorship policies.

00:02:42.000 We took the show down.

00:02:44.000 There's an hour-long members-only show where we talk about a ton of things, not just that.

00:02:49.000 I don't want people to think that the full explanation is just the members only.

00:02:54.000 But the issue is, well, I can't repeat what was said.

00:02:57.000 We try to avoid highlighting these things.

00:03:00.000 We don't put targets on our back, but I know that people want some kind of explanation, so we are exacerbating the problem by addressing it live, but that's a reality.

00:03:08.000 And, you know, I'll just say...

00:03:13.000 For people wondering, you know, like, why don't you just go live again or why not?

00:03:15.000 It's like, okay, well, after the show goes down, we have to figure out what's going on with the guests.

00:03:20.000 We have to figure out where they're going, what we're going to do.

00:03:22.000 And considering the volatility of everything, I was just like, we're not just going to restart this.

00:03:29.000 Because, you know, Well, I mean, I'll put it this way.

00:03:35.000 Every guest is given the walkthrough of, like, look, this is a live show, broadcast to hundreds of thousands of people, reaching over a million people every night, and you need to treat what you say like you would any other live show.

00:03:50.000 And I think because of the relaxed nature of it, some people don't.

00:03:53.000 And so I'll just, you know, fully come out and say it, like, it's been a stressful couple of weeks, and having that happen, I was just, like, ready to pass out right here.

00:04:01.000 And so when we did the members-only segment, it's because people pay for a members-only segment.

00:04:06.000 I'm not going to not deliver that for people who have already paid.

00:04:08.000 We have a lot of members.

00:04:09.000 And it was really chill and easy, just like to riff.

00:04:12.000 And if you watch the members-only thing, you'll see me basically just venting about the stresses that we're dealing with.

00:04:18.000 So, you know, long story short, If someone comes on the show and, you know, we give everybody, like, a 10-minute spiel about, like, here are the things that you will get knocked down for, here's how, you know, like... We're not saying, for the most part, like, don't say things.

00:04:37.000 You know, like, we even tell people they're allowed to swear, just try not to.

00:04:40.000 But if someone comes out and overtly says something, there's nothing I can do about it.

00:04:43.000 It's just like, OK, so here's what we're going to do. 0.98

00:04:46.000 Because we're idiots, we actually don't have this, but we should, like any other live show. 0.85

00:04:51.000 There's normally a simple app that creates a lag between the video as it's recorded and then what goes live. 0.91

00:05:00.000 And all the producer has to do is just press the button, and it just snips the frames So if someone says something super egregious, like a threat, they can just press a button and then it just disappears and the show keeps going.

00:05:11.000 So that's what we're working on.

00:05:13.000 And truth be told, it's something we should have had a long time ago, but we're like, I don't know, just winging it this whole time, in case you haven't realized.

00:05:19.000 So that's me addressing to the best of my abilities.

00:05:22.000 We go into greater detail in the Members Only thing, but only because we're kind of venting.

00:05:26.000 It was Brett Dasovic, it was Andy, who's our CTO, and us just kind of talking about life and stuff, and it is what it is, I suppose.

00:05:36.000 But we're going to talk about news, and also we're going to talk about the apocalypse.

00:05:39.000 Because Vegas flooded, and there's apocalypse talk we can have.

00:05:43.000 So joining us tonight is Ben Stewart.

00:05:46.000 What's up everybody?

00:05:47.000 Ben Stewart.

00:05:48.000 You can go to benjosephstewart.com where I give you the news, but I also get into alternative topics such as mind bending practices, psychedelics, and alternative history.

00:05:59.000 So go over to benjosephstewart.com.

00:06:01.000 I also, on my YouTube channel, Ben Joseph Stewart, you can find I put out a weekly news show and do Thursdays.

00:06:10.000 Podcast 5 p.m.

00:06:12.000 Eastern every Thursday live with some amazing people all the way from UFC fighters to people in the psychedelic movement So check it out right awesome to be back Lauren's back I am.

00:06:25.000 I'm back.

00:06:25.000 You know who I am.

00:06:26.000 Lauren Southern, also known by the audience, hopefully lovingly, as Paper Cup Pappy Girl.

00:06:32.000 But we drank it all with Ned last night.

00:06:33.000 We drank it all!

00:06:35.000 All of it at the Paper Cup Bar.

00:06:36.000 We're going to be having some Patron.

00:06:39.000 Grand Patron.

00:06:39.000 Grand Patron, not just Patron.

00:06:41.000 And we're going to be mixing Manuka honey in it.

00:06:44.000 We're getting fancy over here at the Paper Cup Bar.

00:06:47.000 That's $600 honey.

00:06:48.000 Yes.

00:06:49.000 Lauren's like, how expensive can I make a Paper Cup drink? 1.00

00:06:52.000 And I was like, well, that costs $600.

00:06:54.000 We're going to keep upping the ante every show.

00:06:56.000 I feel like honey in Grand Patron probably would be really good.

00:07:01.000 I think it's going to be good.

00:07:02.000 I might mix you a paper cup too here.

00:07:04.000 You can do that and I will take it.

00:07:06.000 You said Manuka honey is not the best tasting?

00:07:11.000 It's bitter.

00:07:12.000 It's like expensive imported Australian medicinal honey.

00:07:15.000 That is like the most medicinal Manuka I've ever seen, and it's also the bitterest Manuka I've ever tasted.

00:07:21.000 So you take this rectally, right?

00:07:22.000 Oh gosh.

00:07:23.000 Absolutely.

00:07:23.000 What you're telling me is I'm making myself a health drink.

00:07:26.000 Yes, that's what I'm getting here.

00:07:27.000 Well actually, alcohol, my understanding is, in small amounts, is good for you.

00:07:31.000 It lowers cortisol.

00:07:33.000 So, you know.

00:07:35.000 I wonder if this will be good for me after we did that legal like heroin medicine that you made me have today.

00:07:41.000 NAD.

00:07:42.000 NAD, whatever that was.

00:07:43.000 We hooked Lauren up to the NAD and she was groaning and screaming. 1.00

00:07:47.000 That was honestly the most painful thing I've ever done in my life.

00:07:50.000 It hurts.

00:07:50.000 Yeah, it's not great.

00:07:51.000 Easily, it's up there.

00:07:52.000 How would you explain the feeling?

00:07:54.000 Well, Tim said it was going to be like period pain, which I don't know.

00:07:57.000 No, I didn't say that.

00:07:59.000 That was not me.

00:08:01.000 I said if that's what period pain is, y'all got nothing to complain about.

00:08:05.000 Oh yeah.

00:08:06.000 No, it's way worse.

00:08:07.000 And I don't know how you weren't, you were playing video games the whole time as I couldn't even move.

00:08:10.000 I was, Oh, and you know what?

00:08:12.000 Okay.

00:08:12.000 You guys need to understand this.

00:08:13.000 Tim just sends me a message saying, Hey, want to do NAD on Twitter?

00:08:16.000 And I have no idea what it is.

00:08:18.000 And I thought it was like a show or something that he started and I didn't want to be like, Oh, I don't know what that is.

00:08:22.000 So I just say, yeah, sure, man.

00:08:24.000 You got it, buddy.

00:08:25.000 Yeah, you got it.

00:08:25.000 I show up and they have like needles everywhere.

00:08:28.000 And I'm like, what is happening here?

00:08:32.000 Little do I know, I'm about to be hooked up to an actual torture device for two hours.

00:08:37.000 Groaning.

00:08:37.000 Oh my gosh.

00:08:38.000 I don't know how you do that, man.

00:08:39.000 And I got it.

00:08:40.000 I got it.

00:08:41.000 I'm sorry, Lauren, but you went slow.

00:08:43.000 Like, Rogan talks about how he cranks it up to full speed and slams it in 20 minutes.

00:08:49.000 So for those that aren't familiar, it's nicotinamide adenide dinucleotide.

00:08:52.000 It's what your body turns B vitamins into, and it's like a rejuvenation thing you can get.

00:08:59.000 And Joe Rogan talks about it quite a bit.

00:09:01.000 Apparently he smokes pot and then just cranks it all the way up.

00:09:04.000 But it's painful, so they give you painkillers.

00:09:08.000 My explanation is it feels like you turned around and there's a bear.

00:09:13.000 Like that feeling you get when an adrenaline rush hits you?

00:09:15.000 That, but for like an hour and a half or two hours.

00:09:18.000 It's excruciating.

00:09:19.000 Yeah.

00:09:20.000 It feels like the top of the roller coaster when you're going down and it just doesn't stop.

00:09:24.000 And your whole stomach is just doing that churn thing repeatedly.

00:09:26.000 I have never, I can rarely remember any points in my life where I've like yelled at a nurse and being like, stop it!

00:09:32.000 Make it stop! 1.00

00:09:34.000 You went, you were like, crank it up.

00:09:36.000 And the nurse was like, no, I don't want to do that.

00:09:38.000 And you were like, do it.

00:09:39.000 And then she was like, I'll do it a little bit.

00:09:41.000 And then you went, ah!

00:09:44.000 You gotta know.

00:09:45.000 And then Lauren was like, are there only two settings, zero and 100?

00:09:49.000 That's what it felt like.

00:09:51.000 I actually had a proper panic attack when I saw her leave.

00:09:55.000 Because I can't move.

00:09:56.000 I literally couldn't move my body.

00:09:57.000 And I'm like, I'm going to be trapped in this hell.

00:09:59.000 And she's gone.

00:10:00.000 And there's no one that can turn this down.

00:10:03.000 Dude.

00:10:03.000 Well anyway, so Lauren's here.

00:10:04.000 And she's treating it with some Grand Petronas and Manuka honey.

00:10:08.000 This is the funniest thing because it's like, it's a vitamin drip.

00:10:11.000 You get like B vitamins and it's like hydrating.

00:10:13.000 So like afterwards, I feel great.

00:10:15.000 We had hibachi, grilled meat, and sushi.

00:10:18.000 And Lauren's like, I'm gonna drink.

00:10:20.000 It's, uh, NAD is a precursor to a protein that's called their sirtuins.

00:10:26.000 There's these proteins your body has, and the protein measures the amount of energy in your cell.

00:10:30.000 So when your cell divides this protein, these sirtuins want to make sure there's enough energy in both of the new cells.

00:10:35.000 If there's not, then they have to clip off at the end caps of the chromosomes to compensate.

00:10:40.000 And that's what they call aging.

00:10:41.000 So having enough of these proteins because of the NAD as a precursor will longevity thing.

00:10:46.000 Yeah.

00:10:46.000 Accuracy.

00:10:46.000 It's supposedly it reverses and reduces aging.

00:10:49.000 Yeah, so you can do two things as a rich, famous person.

00:10:52.000 You can torture children for adrenochrome, or whatever it's called, or you can do NAD.

00:10:56.000 I'm pretty sure they're all just doing NAD.

00:10:57.000 You guys can know that Tim's doing the eternal life the proper way, not killing children.

00:11:01.000 Right, right.

00:11:02.000 There's a lot of research out of Harvard on it, and they'll mix it with intermittent fasting, berberine, or what's it, metformin is a diabetes medicine, but the berberine's the plant they derive that from, and resveratrol.

00:11:13.000 And they've even had experiments on dogs, and they find life extension in dogs and stuff.

00:11:18.000 Fascinating.

00:11:19.000 So you look young.

00:11:19.000 So Lauren's here.

00:11:21.000 I'm here.

00:11:21.000 Sorry.

00:11:21.000 That was a very long introduction.

00:11:25.000 I didn't get the NAD, but I am Ian Crossland.

00:11:27.000 Also happy to be here.

00:11:28.000 Let's talk.

00:11:29.000 Yeah.

00:11:29.000 NAD is a trip.

00:11:30.000 I'm glad Lauren survived and we have her here with us again tonight.

00:11:33.000 I'm excited to talk about the apocalypse.

00:11:34.000 Let's go.

00:11:35.000 Alright, so over at the Daily Mail, they reported it.

00:11:39.000 let me read the headline. China says it will shoot Pelosi's plane down if she travels to Taiwan under

00:11:46.000 US fighter escort. Speaker refuses to confirm trip. Quote, if US fighter jets escort Pelosi's

00:11:53.000 plane into Taiwan, it is an invasion. Hu Xijin, a commentator for the Chinese state-affiliated

00:11:59.000 Global Times wrote on Twitter, the PLA has the right to forcibly dispel Pelosi's plane,

00:12:04.000 and the US fighter jets, including firing warning shots and making tactical movements of obstruction.

00:12:10.000 If ineffective, then shoot them down, Hu said.

00:12:13.000 Wow.

00:12:13.000 Pelosi has not confirmed reports she will travel to Taiwan.

00:12:16.000 But the other news is that the U.S.

00:12:18.000 has sent a carrier and a strike group to the South China Sea.

00:12:21.000 So it does seem like things are escalating a bit.

00:12:24.000 Ladies and gentlemen, it is apocalypse night here.

00:12:26.000 Las Vegas flooded.

00:12:28.000 There's like war with China.

00:12:30.000 There was an op-ed in the New York Times that said Pelosi's trip to Taiwan is too dangerous.

00:12:35.000 So I'm wondering if you guys, what do you guys think about this?

00:12:38.000 I do kind of feel like China's bluster. 0.99

00:12:41.000 Come on.

00:12:42.000 Some, some CCP state media guy saying he's going to shoot down Pelosi.

00:12:44.000 Yeah, right.

00:12:45.000 Yeah.

00:12:45.000 You said at the top of the shows, this is not the CCP that said it was, it was a news media organization.

00:12:50.000 No, no, no.

00:12:51.000 This is the CCP.

00:12:52.000 Oh, I thought you said it came out of the news media.

00:12:54.000 So, so my point is, If you have a company in China, it's the CCP.

00:13:00.000 Oh, that I agree with.

00:13:00.000 Yeah, but this wasn't like the party.

00:13:02.000 This is state propaganda.

00:13:04.000 State propaganda.

00:13:05.000 So what I want to be careful of, it's not Xi Jinping, the government, or the PLA coming out and saying, we will shoot you down. 0.96

00:13:12.000 It's their propaganda arm saying, we have a right to shoot at you. 0.98

00:13:15.000 And if it doesn't stop you, we can shoot you down. 0.99

00:13:17.000 And they also, this says that they'll shoot at her plane if she goes there. 0.95

00:13:20.000 But then later in the thing, it says we'll shoot at her plane if she brings fighter escorts. 0.96

00:13:24.000 So that's a different situation.

00:13:26.000 If she just goes in without escorts, maybe there's not.

00:13:29.000 Saber rattling. 0.91

00:13:31.000 Or the fourth turning.

00:13:33.000 Totally the fourth turning.

00:13:34.000 Actually, what was it?

00:13:35.000 Tony Robbins just had on... Who's the surviving one?

00:13:38.000 William Strauss?

00:13:40.000 Or Neil Howell?

00:13:40.000 Oh yeah, Strauss' High Theory.

00:13:42.000 One of them died, yeah.

00:13:43.000 One of them died, but the other one was just talking about Tony Robbins, and it's getting kind of real in this fourth turning.

00:13:49.000 But apparently it ends 2028?

00:13:51.000 Neil Howell's the one that's still alive.

00:13:54.000 Yeah, if it ends 2028, we're in it.

00:13:56.000 So I don't know, 2026 is... I've heard 2026 is when things are going to get absolutely bonkers.

00:14:01.000 I just did a piece on this on my YouTube where 200, I think it was Glubb, I forget, like Sir John Glubb, he studied empires, the rise and the fall of them.

00:14:12.000 And he said that 2020 or 250 years is the maximum lifespan of a country.

00:14:19.000 The United States will turn 250 years in 2026.

00:14:22.000 So that kind of coincides with that.

00:14:25.000 I even wrote down some other things.

00:14:27.000 We meet all the criteria for an empire in decline, like, you know, massive complexity that just seems unsustainable, supposedly climate, deforestation, environmental degradation, and then changing relations between friendlies and foes, or heightening tensions between them.

00:14:46.000 And there's other things in there.

00:14:48.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:14:48.000 I mean, cultural collapse, wastefulness, a lack of decorum.

00:14:54.000 I mean, like, yeah, decadence.

00:14:57.000 Debasement of the currency.

00:14:58.000 Like, imagine a young woman pouring expensive honey into a paper cup with really expensive liquors. 1.00

00:15:04.000 Right, that show's based around decadence.

00:15:07.000 What a woman she would be. 0.99

00:15:10.000 What an animal.

00:15:11.000 And there's one other funny thing, going back through Rome all the way through many other empires, apparently in the late stages of it, they all seem to highlight chefs.

00:15:23.000 They make celebrities out of their chefs.

00:15:26.000 Oh, I read that.

00:15:27.000 Yeah.

00:15:28.000 It's just some weird anomaly.

00:15:30.000 No, I yeah, man.

00:15:31.000 I wonder if there's like an emergent phenomenon around food and chefs and like so much.

00:15:37.000 Well, you're you're so comfortable.

00:15:39.000 You're entertained by taking food to the most extreme levels.

00:15:44.000 It's pure gluttony.

00:15:45.000 And then also turning like animals into babies.

00:15:48.000 Like how many times have you seen little dogs in like cradles, like all dressed up and everything?

00:15:53.000 That's got to be a sign of an empire in decline.

00:15:55.000 Yeah, the chef celebrities and baby pets.

00:15:58.000 I noticed, like, when I watch these survival videos of people, like, carving, building their own house with their axe and stuff, and then it'll cut to them, like, frying really crappy spam or something in a pan, and then, like, cooking and eating it, and I'm like, this is not appetizing.

00:16:11.000 Why is this part of the video of them, like, cutting up their meat?

00:16:16.000 I guess it's like people want to know what it's like to live out in the woods and hunt and cook your own stuff, but...

00:16:21.000 That's that's like the opposite of decline, like watching a video of some super ripped dude killing a deer and then eating it.

00:16:28.000 But it'll this will be like he opens a can of tuna and then has some carrots like frozen carrots and he'll be cooking it in a pan.

00:16:34.000 Okay, so that's what well, this is like chef in decline.

00:16:36.000 It's post-apocalyptic.

00:16:38.000 This is like Celebrity Chef type stuff.

00:16:40.000 The real Celebrity Chef is making the cakes that you can't distinguish.

00:16:47.000 I could cut this right now and it could be a cake and you just don't know.

00:16:49.000 Isn't that a Netflix show?

00:16:51.000 It is!

00:16:51.000 Are you serious?

00:16:52.000 Have you seen the video where the guy, he's watching the videos of people like cutting a shampoo bottle on his cake and he looks shocked and then he like grabs his phone and squeeze it and it's cake?

00:17:02.000 Why are they highlight chefs? 0.97

00:17:03.000 grabs his TV remote, squeeze it, it's cake, and he starts panicking, and then he looks down at his butt, 0.97

00:17:07.000 and he grabs his butt and it's cake, and he's like, ah! 0.96

00:17:10.000 That was really funny. 0.98

00:17:11.000 Can't trust anything.

00:17:12.000 Yeah, everything is cake.

00:17:13.000 Everything is cake.

00:17:14.000 Why are they highlight chefs?

00:17:16.000 What's up with this?

00:17:17.000 I think Tim's onto something there that, It wasn't John Perkins, it was somebody else that was saying there's this feeling, whether it's a nation or an empire, that times were great, we were great, but no one's feeling it anymore.

00:17:33.000 There's another one, mercenaries.

00:17:35.000 When you have to start hiring mercenaries for fighting your wars for you, Ben, did you see that they're having serious problems recruiting people for the military?

00:17:43.000 They've lowered the education standard, they've lowered the fitness standard.

00:17:47.000 part of the bread and circuses thing.

00:17:48.000 Did you see that they're having serious problems recruiting people for the

00:17:52.000 military? They've lowered the education standard. They've lowered the fitness

00:17:55.000 standard. We're going to have wars fought by mercenaries in no time.

00:17:59.000 Yeah, I wouldn't doubt that.

00:18:01.000 Actually, what's interesting, I was in the military from 2000 to 2006, and everyone that, like, when I got basically to my unit, everyone was saying like, yeah, you know, you kind of went through the, you know, the piece of cake boot camp, where they can't touch you, they can't hit you, they can't push you, and like, you didn't need to do, you know, even half as much of the running as we needed to.

00:18:24.000 So even back then, about 20 years ago, Apparently, it was like a shell of what it used to be, boot camp.

00:18:31.000 Interesting.

00:18:32.000 We had Blackwater fighting a huge part, or at least if not fighting the war in the Middle East, they were like functioning as administration for a while.

00:18:40.000 I mean, that's mercenary work.

00:18:42.000 Well, look at Ukraine.

00:18:44.000 American citizens are on the ground in Ukraine, but the U.S.

00:18:47.000 is like, we didn't send them there.

00:18:49.000 They're not officially ours.

00:18:50.000 And it's like an international cohort of Individuals fighting this war.

00:18:54.000 But so you said countries got 250 years.

00:18:57.000 But what about like France, which had 900,000 years?

00:19:00.000 Well, it's empires.

00:19:01.000 It's not countries.

00:19:02.000 It's empires.

00:19:03.000 So like other empires are still around, you know, other like Great Britain's still around, you know, but has the US been an empire for 250 years?

00:19:12.000 It hasn't.

00:19:13.000 Well, not, not an empire.

00:19:14.000 And that's a good point because, uh, 17, I don't, I don't know when they start the clock either.

00:19:19.000 Right.

00:19:19.000 When you are officially an empire, cause I know 1776, I guess you wouldn't have called the United States an empire, you know?

00:19:27.000 It wasn't, it wasn't until I think like the 1900s that the U.S.

00:19:30.000 went totally empirical.

00:19:32.000 1946 even.

00:19:35.000 Who was that?

00:19:35.000 Who was that guy that everybody hates?

00:19:36.000 Woodrow Wilson?

00:19:37.000 Oh man, yeah.

00:19:38.000 Everybody hates that guy, right?

00:19:39.000 Really, it was like after World War II, they realized if we don't become a world order, empire, whatever, that we're gonna have World War III.

00:19:47.000 So they were like, liberal economic order, which you could call an empire.

00:19:51.000 We got military bases all over the earth, sign of empire.

00:19:53.000 The liberal international economy.

00:19:55.000 Yes, the lie.

00:19:56.000 The lie was established in 1946.

00:19:59.000 It's also, this is a different world than all the other empires when we were, you know, like mapping out this 250 year lifespan as well.

00:20:07.000 I mean, when you're talking about nations and empires, you're also talking about like major economic blocks, like transnational economic blocks.

00:20:15.000 I also want to point out, isn't it that empires last 250 years on average?

00:20:21.000 Is it?

00:20:21.000 Well, I mean, the Soviet Union lasted 69 years.

00:20:24.000 Yeah.

00:20:25.000 And that was massive.

00:20:26.000 I mean, they were spreading all over the planet.

00:20:28.000 Remnants still exist in some fashion today.

00:20:31.000 The U.S., I mean, I wonder if the 250 years thing is based upon the extent of communications without electronics.

00:20:42.000 Right?

00:20:42.000 So all of these big empires communicated through letter delivery, carrier, horseback.

00:20:47.000 Now we have rapid communication.

00:20:49.000 That causes things to evolve much more quickly.

00:20:52.000 Especially now with the internet and social media, it's just ramping up faster than... So, I mean, you think about Franz Ferdinand, right?

00:20:59.000 He gets shot.

00:21:00.000 How long did it take for everyone to find out?

00:21:03.000 Probably not that long relative to now, but it was lightning speed relative to previous conflicts.

00:21:10.000 Telegraph, radio, word went out to their countries really quickly, but how long did it take for regular people to find out?

00:21:16.000 Yo, if we had something like that happen today, it'd be on social media the moment it happened.

00:21:20.000 Everyone would see it.

00:21:21.000 So it's even faster.

00:21:23.000 That anger, that animosity, the conflict can spread instantly across every person.

00:21:29.000 So you think about the conflicts we've had in this country.

00:21:32.000 Sentiment for Civil War, right? 0.71

00:21:33.000 In the United States.

00:21:34.000 How long did it take for an idea to go from one person to everyone in a city?

00:21:39.000 To make it from New York to, you know, Illinois or to, you know, down to Florida.

00:21:44.000 Like those ideas to change and then create rifts probably took a really, really long time.

00:21:48.000 Well, you look at like the first Persian Empire and one of the biggest reasons they collapsed internally was because of all of these internal rifts they were having, rebellions, they were taking slaves and bringing them into their military and making them mercenaries as we were talking about.

00:22:03.000 And now because of technology, like you're saying, we're having this ramping up of that kind of stuff and rebellions like Black Lives Matter internally.

00:22:09.000 causing rebellion within the US. All of these. And then we also have information that shows us that you have Russia,

00:22:16.000 China potentially pumping money into these internal rebellions

00:22:19.000 that we're facing in the West. And you're right. We're gonna have

00:22:22.000 basically a repeat of what caused a lot of these past empires to collapse on crack because of the technological...

00:22:30.000 It's the waiting I can't stand.

00:22:32.000 Yeah, yeah, just bring it on.

00:22:35.000 Ian's talking about a guy in the woods, like, cracking open an old can of tuna and putting carrots in it, and I'm like, sounds pretty good.

00:22:42.000 I wonder if this is actually an American empire, or if it's just the British Empire.

00:22:47.000 Enmasked with the American military.

00:22:50.000 The British Empire is actually an empire.

00:22:52.000 That's part of it.

00:22:52.000 There's also a math equation.

00:22:54.000 This one guy, it was an old TED Talks, but he was saying even in a bacterial petri dish, mismatches between resources and consumption cause things like five generations in, or before the decline, the population is doubling every single generation.

00:23:15.000 And then five generations before the decline, the food declines by 15 16ths, the next generation by three fourths.

00:23:23.000 And it's empty in the next generation, or in the next generation is about half.

00:23:27.000 And then the following generation is the mathematical conclusion of it.

00:23:31.000 I don't know if that if that Petri dish is a one on one parallel to what we're dealing with, but Well, so you've heard that wealth lasts three generations, they say, right?

00:23:40.000 The first generation is, you know, comes up, figures it out, works hard, and then has that within them, this individual.

00:23:48.000 They have kids.

00:23:49.000 Those kids learn a lesson from the first generation.

00:23:52.000 They inherit the wealth, and they know a little bit enough to kind of just sort of maintain it.

00:23:58.000 Now you have another generation, and they're learning a lesson about a lesson.

00:24:02.000 It's a copy of a copy.

00:24:04.000 And so by the third generation, they have no idea how the empire was built.

00:24:08.000 They have no idea how to start a company.

00:24:09.000 They don't have the same life lessons.

00:24:11.000 So I have to think about this too.

00:24:14.000 You know, I hear stories about people who they're like, I was a college dropout and I was poor and I worked hard and then now they have kids and those kids are children of the wealthiest people on the planet.

00:24:23.000 They're not going to learn the same lesson.

00:24:24.000 Like Steve Jobs was homeless.

00:24:26.000 He was like sleeping on couches and floors.

00:24:29.000 And then he had that fire within him, and ruthlessness, let's be real, his kids, I don't know, I'm assuming he has kids, but the children of these people don't have that.

00:24:39.000 They grew up in luxury.

00:24:41.000 Totally.

00:24:42.000 I know it's such a tired analogy, the good men, bad times thing, but they've got another Arab parable that's just like what you're talking about, where it's like, I'll ride a camel, my son will ride in a Toyota, his son will ride in a Ferrari, and then his son will ride a camel.

00:24:56.000 And there's a reason that these parables exist, though.

00:24:59.000 The good men, hard times, whatever.

00:25:01.000 It's because it's just what happens every damn time and humanity keeps trying to tell us we've lived this story a billion times.

00:25:08.000 But all right, guys, good luck. 0.71

00:25:09.000 Do it again.

00:25:10.000 Have fun.

00:25:11.000 That's why I'm saying, like, when I have kids...

00:25:15.000 Like, I'm gonna kick him out at three years old and be like, here's a bandana, a trowel, a pack of seeds, and a pointy stick.

00:25:24.000 Maybe a match.

00:25:25.000 You know, no, but in all seriousness, what we do is we take the newborn, we put him in the woods for a day, and if he survives, he's strong enough to join the tribe.

00:25:32.000 That's some George Carlin logic.

00:25:34.000 No, no, that was the Spartans, I think.

00:25:35.000 They did that, right?

00:25:35.000 If the baby didn't survive, like, out in the wilderness, it wasn't strong enough.

00:25:39.000 And then, you know, nothing crazy like that, but I certainly think you gotta teach, I mean, like, hard labor.

00:25:47.000 Like, good manual labor chores, lifting stuff, shoveling, mowing the lawn.

00:25:51.000 You gotta teach kids, you know, those kind of lessons.

00:25:55.000 Yeah.

00:25:55.000 Should we let the cat in?

00:25:56.000 I think so.

00:25:57.000 It's Bucco time!

00:25:58.000 Why is he trying to- Does the cat get to join the show?

00:26:02.000 It's because Ian started giving him water and now he's coming on the show every time.

00:26:06.000 Let's pull up this next story here and talk about the decline.

00:26:09.000 We got this from TimCast.com.

00:26:11.000 U.S.

00:26:12.000 House passes first assault weapons ban since 1994. 1.00

00:26:17.000 Laughable, stupid, and a waste of time. 1.00

00:26:20.000 And apparently some Republicans even joined in to support the Democrats banning... nothing? 1.00

00:26:26.000 Bill makes no sense.

00:26:28.000 Yeah, so I think this is a really good example, not of disarmament, right?

00:26:31.000 A lot of people are saying they're trying to, you know, I think Luke tweeted this, they're going to try and disarm you for their depopulation agenda or something.

00:26:37.000 And I'm like, no, I think it's nonsense.

00:26:40.000 It's logicless.

00:26:41.000 They're not doing anything.

00:26:43.000 This bill bans half, it'll, like Thomas Massey pointed this out, the Mini-14 receiver is banned, but the Mini-14 receiver is also not banned.

00:26:54.000 In the same bill!

00:26:55.000 And verbatim.

00:26:56.000 So, Massey points out, the Mini-14 with a pistol grip and a collapsing stock is an assault weapon, so it's banned.

00:27:03.000 The receiver of any such weapon is also banned.

00:27:05.000 But the Mini-14 with a rifle stock is not banned, and the receiver of any such weapon is not banned.

00:27:10.000 And so he points out, he's like, so how is the identical receiver both banned and not banned?

00:27:15.000 And they have no answer.

00:27:16.000 They literally just don't answer it.

00:27:18.000 It's all political moves.

00:27:19.000 It's like, obviously, I'm in Canada, but right after you had the shooting in Texas at the school, Trudeau came out and banned transfer and sale of handguns or proposed a ban the next day.

00:27:29.000 And it's like, Why?

00:27:31.000 We're talking about a shooting in another country using a gun that's already banned in our country, and you're going to put a freeze on sale of a handgun that are rarely used for shootings in Canada at all, where we don't have a problem with this?

00:27:44.000 Completely political!

00:27:46.000 And it seems like the US are doing that too, even though sometimes I feel like you guys have better laws around guns, better understanding, and then every time I think that, your politicians go and do stuff like this.

00:27:55.000 I just gotta say it. 0.89

00:27:57.000 Every time Trudeau does a press conference, it sounds like he's trying, like he's talking to someone he's about to rape. 0.63

00:28:04.000 But I'm not trying to be, like, when he was like, we need to ban all the guns.

00:28:10.000 It's like, it's the voice someone has when they're grabbing the woman like, just relax.

00:28:14.000 Let me do this.

00:28:15.000 Put down the weapon, lady. 1.00

00:28:17.000 Yeah, I'm taking your gun away from you.

00:28:19.000 And then it's funny because you guys up in Canada banned guns like around the same time it was like Uvalde, right?

00:28:26.000 Trudeau announces their freezing handgun sales and it was obvious it was a response to a U.S.

00:28:30.000 news story.

00:28:31.000 But he also had previously complained up in Canada that Canada, with the trucker protest, is that American politics are seeping into Canada.

00:28:39.000 So true!

00:28:40.000 Yeah, and then he comes out and it's like, come on dude, spare me.

00:28:43.000 I think this assault weapons ban is a perfect example of what the Democrats are.

00:28:48.000 They have no logic to their morals.

00:28:53.000 We're all trying to figure out what are the rules and how do we live together.

00:28:57.000 Among the Democrats and most of the left, it's just pure tribalism.

00:29:01.000 So they're like, we're banning guns?

00:29:02.000 Excellent.

00:29:03.000 Does it make sense?

00:29:04.000 Who cares?

00:29:05.000 As long as you agree with thing.

00:29:07.000 Current thing.

00:29:08.000 Current year, current thing. 0.96

00:29:09.000 If there's a bill that is proposing to both ban and not ban something, you've got to discard that stupid bill or at least remove that section from the bill before you can move forward. 0.97

00:29:19.000 You can't even vote yes or no on something like that. 0.78

00:29:21.000 It's going to be really funny when someone gets arrested with a mini 14 receiver and then they like sue and they're like, well, What's the logic there? 0.79

00:29:28.000 Is the logic that if it says it's not banned, but then it says it is banned, therefore it is banned?

00:29:32.000 You know what I mean?

00:29:32.000 Like the negative is stronger than the positive or something?

00:29:34.000 How does that, how does this even work?

00:29:37.000 I don't think they care.

00:29:38.000 Yeah, I don't think they care.

00:29:40.000 No, I want to point something out too, because, um, I think we have this tweet from Ian.

00:29:42.000 Let me see if I can find it.

00:29:43.000 I don't know where it's at.

00:29:44.000 Yeah, here we go.

00:29:45.000 This is perfectly in line with what we're talking about.

00:29:46.000 Check this out.

00:29:48.000 Ron Filipowski, uh, what was it named?

00:29:50.000 Filipkowski, says, Lauren Boebert wants the House to pass a rule to give her five days to read a bill before voting on it.

00:29:58.000 He didn't say much after that.

00:30:00.000 He just said this thing. 0.96

00:30:01.000 But you'll notice a lot of the comments are people saying like, this is ridiculous. 0.73

00:30:06.000 I can, you know, I can read a book in a day.

00:30:09.000 But then Ian chimed in.

00:30:11.000 Ian, of course, you should read it.

00:30:12.000 It's your tweet.

00:30:13.000 Yeah, it should be a felony for congressmen to vote on a bill they have not read.

00:30:17.000 I want them under oath acknowledging they've read the bill before voting.

00:30:19.000 Yeah.

00:30:20.000 Interestingly, when Ian chimed in with that one, then you get some unity.

00:30:24.000 Everyone's like, yeah, actually, that makes sense.

00:30:26.000 But the crazy thing to me is there are so many people responding to Ron Filipkowski just making fun of Lauren Boebert for saying something that is quite possibly the most logical and bipartisan thing ever.

00:30:38.000 Yeah, I was actually very pleased with the response to this because like Ron has a Ukraine flag in his profile.

00:30:44.000 So there was a part of me that was like, oh geez, should I just assume he's some zealot?

00:30:47.000 And it's like, you know what?

00:30:48.000 What he said is just neutral.

00:30:50.000 I'm going to respond neutrally.

00:30:51.000 And then people in the comments, you see people with Ukraine flags saying, yes, this is actually a great idea. 0.97

00:30:55.000 You see people that are like, I'm a Christian conservative.

00:30:57.000 This is a great idea.

00:30:58.000 Like I said, in their profile.

00:31:00.000 So it's just a, it's an American idea.

00:31:03.000 And I think it's an idea that, that justifies or that supports like liberty.

00:31:09.000 You cannot have ignorance in Congress.

00:31:14.000 Absolutely.

00:31:14.000 At least five days.

00:31:16.000 I'm shocked that that wasn't a rule beforehand.

00:31:19.000 Like the idea that they're passing these absolutely critical rules for your country and it's like not even a few days to decompress and think about it.

00:31:29.000 Maybe they can read it in one day.

00:31:30.000 Great.

00:31:31.000 Can they think about it and really weigh the moral consequences of the stuff they're putting into your nation?

00:31:35.000 It's worse than you realize.

00:31:37.000 Because Marjorie Taylor Greene pointed out to us... There's a giant cat butthole in the camera, by the way. 1.00

00:31:42.000 Marjorie, what are you doing?

00:31:44.000 Marjorie Taylor Greene pointed out that oftentimes when they're passing bills, they don't even have anybody in the room.

00:31:51.000 It'll be like three Democrats and three Republicans, and someone who's not even the speaker will be like, oh, we got a bill here, it says this, and they go, eh.

00:31:58.000 Oh, it passes.

00:31:59.000 And so what they've been doing is the Freedom Caucus has like a watch where they go down and call it's they they call for like a roll call vote or something where they got to force all the members of Congress to come back in and actually vote on these bills.

00:32:10.000 Actually do their job.

00:32:11.000 Yeah but they're still not reading them.

00:32:13.000 That's the crazy thing.

00:32:14.000 Absolutely unconscionable and people have pointed out in this Twitter thread as well that this is something that should have been enshrined in the Constitution from day one.

00:32:21.000 Just assumed that they would be reading the bills because that was their intention was like what how could they never how could they not you know as I I would like to see a, I don't know if you guys have any knowledge of like, if you could compare, you know, the beginning of the US, how many bills were being proposed and passed at the start versus now.

00:32:39.000 I reckon it's like a mass ramp up and stuff.

00:32:41.000 Because it's super easy to just like roll out that rug, right?

00:32:44.000 Oh, we can just Pass and do things every single day, but it's super hard to roll it back.

00:32:48.000 And I don't think things were initially like the Constitution was put in place for a country operating like this, where it's like, ADHD, let's just pass things and propose things all over the place every day and not even think about it and have this 24-hour news cycle where it's like, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.

00:33:03.000 They also put, like, a thousand things in one bill.

00:33:06.000 So they'll call it—the amount of—maybe they have less bills now than they used to, but that's because they've got 500 times the amount of stuff in each bill.

00:33:13.000 But let's go back to what, you know, we were just talking about a moment ago.

00:33:16.000 The collapse of an empire.

00:33:17.000 There's certainly no country when the members of Congress are more concerned with fundraising phone calls than reading the bills.

00:33:25.000 Laws are being passed that no one even knows about.

00:33:27.000 The omnibus spending bill gets brought in on a wagon.

00:33:32.000 It's like a red... They brought it in on a wagon.

00:33:35.000 5,000 pages.

00:33:37.000 So, when your country's doing that... I'll put it this way.

00:33:42.000 Ladies and gentlemen.

00:33:44.000 Our members of Congress don't read the bills.

00:33:47.000 They're not there to vote on the bills.

00:33:50.000 There's a porous southern border.

00:33:52.000 So, first, we have no legislation.

00:33:55.000 They're not actually doing their job.

00:33:57.000 Next, we have no country.

00:33:59.000 A nation with no border is not a country.

00:34:02.000 That's how country is defined.

00:34:03.000 A nation with defined borders.

00:34:06.000 A nation is a group of people with shared history, culture, and laws.

00:34:11.000 We don't have shared laws anymore.

00:34:13.000 Some states have disregarded half the laws.

00:34:15.000 Sanctuary cities, sanctuary states.

00:34:18.000 I gotta tell ya, I think the US is basically like someone took a figurative mountain and just splattered it all over the place and now it's a big random hodgepodge of nonsense.

00:34:27.000 So I mean look, the constitution is swiss cheese.

00:34:30.000 Our politicians don't do their jobs.

00:34:32.000 The Democrats are calling the Supreme Court illegitimate even though they're functioning as the Constitution dictates.

00:34:37.000 Doesn't matter.

00:34:38.000 None of it matters.

00:34:39.000 Did you see how they're shipping illegal immigrants? 0.89

00:34:42.000 They've been busing illegal immigrants from the southern border to D.C.

00:34:44.000 and other big cities.

00:34:46.000 And they just called in the National Guard in D.C.

00:34:48.000 Miriam Bowser, is it Miriam?

00:34:50.000 Muriel.

00:34:50.000 Muriel Bowser requested the National Guard to like 4,000 immigrants.

00:34:56.000 When I was in Tapachula, I was meeting with a few immigrants that had been deported after a few years in D.C.

00:35:01.000 and the States because a lot of them have their court cases in D.C.

00:35:04.000 So they know, yeah, I'll cross the border and I might get kicked out because I have no standing.

00:35:08.000 I don't even qualify as an economic migrant.

00:35:12.000 I don't qualify as anything.

00:35:14.000 But they know that they'll have to be taken to D.C.

00:35:16.000 to hear whatever case they have for a few years and they'll get to have a good time there.

00:35:20.000 This one guy I was speaking to was trying to get in saying he was attacked by gangs, but Half of them are actually part of gangs and just try to use a bad experience they had with MS-13, despite being a part of it, to get in.

00:35:32.000 And he's like, yep, I'm making my way back up again.

00:35:34.000 At least I'll get to spend a few years in D.C., you know, waiting on my trial.

00:35:38.000 Will be fun.

00:35:39.000 You know, I'll get some food and board.

00:35:40.000 Good time.

00:35:42.000 I can't be mad about this because the cat crawled in my lap and so I'm just, you know... Peace.

00:35:46.000 The story should be really disconcerting and distressing, but I just... You kind of look like Dr. Evil, though.

00:35:53.000 Someone said, good evening, Mr. Bond.

00:35:58.000 I've been expecting you.

00:36:00.000 Yeah, people, more cats.

00:36:01.000 Adopt a cat.

00:36:02.000 One thing that's really interesting to look at, beyond cat conversations, One thing that's really interesting to look at is there's, I think it's the Syracuse Institute that cover it, the level of what judges allow migrants in versus which ones don't.

00:36:18.000 You can look at some of the comparisons and there'll be some judges that accept like 99% of applicants And some that reject 99% and only accept 1%.

00:36:26.000 It is actually just a game of luck.

00:36:29.000 It's like going to a freaking casino, whether you're going to get in or not.

00:36:33.000 You can compare, like, female judges to male judges, which county they're in, and it has almost nothing to do with the application that these migrants put in or illegals put in it. 0.93

00:36:42.000 Everything to do with the judges' feelings.

00:36:44.000 Will there be people that come and try and get legal recourse, they get denied, and then they just come back and try to go to a different judge?

00:36:50.000 Get a different judge, basically.

00:36:52.000 And they can get it the next time.

00:36:53.000 I'm concerned because what is the solution?

00:36:57.000 Like, globalization on some level is functionable.

00:37:00.000 You know, we're expansionist by nature.

00:37:02.000 I think expanding liberal democracy, Americanism, whatever, the U.S.

00:37:06.000 Constitution could be good.

00:37:07.000 But like, how do you defend I know one way to defend a border that the Romans tried.

00:37:13.000 I mean, it used to be pretty brutal, and that's not... Soldiers?

00:37:16.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:37:17.000 Weaponry.

00:37:17.000 Like, defense.

00:37:18.000 Carrie Lake is talking about sending the National Guard down to the border, declaring an emergency, an invasion.

00:37:23.000 Let me pull up the story here.

00:37:24.000 We got this from NBC Washington.

00:37:26.000 Ian just mentioned it a moment ago.

00:37:27.000 D.C.

00:37:28.000 may request National Guard to help with migrants' bust to Capitol.

00:37:32.000 A lot of people are laughing about it, saying it's like, it's irony, it's funny, or Texas and Arizona's plan is working.

00:37:38.000 Let me tell you something.

00:37:40.000 Texas and Arizona could be busing the migrants back to where they came from, to their home countries. 0.98

00:37:44.000 Sending them to DC is helping the Democrats in the Biden administration with their immigration agenda.

00:37:49.000 They are basically saying—so Texas is like, we're going to send these migrants to you, D.C., and then D.C.' 's like, thanks for the help.

00:37:55.000 We're going to then distribute, you know, these people around the country where we see fit.

00:37:59.000 What this means is— To places we don't live.

00:38:01.000 It's true.

00:38:02.000 The way it's supposed to work.

00:38:04.000 You get in line and say, I'd like to come to this amazing country.

00:38:06.000 We say, let us figure it out and give you the best possible place so that everybody thrives.

00:38:10.000 What the Democrats in the Biden administration are doing is they're saying, just let everybody come in and then we'll sort them out later.

00:38:17.000 No rules.

00:38:18.000 No rules, rules.

00:38:19.000 And then Texas and Arizona are like, we'll show you Biden.

00:38:23.000 We'll actually pay for the buses to send them into the country.

00:38:26.000 Ha! 0.89

00:38:27.000 And then people are laughing about it.

00:38:28.000 And I'm like, dude, you're just helping them.

00:38:31.000 Texas and Arizona could more easily.

00:38:33.000 It is a longer bus ride to DC.

00:38:36.000 I feel like people on the right are being duped into thinking that plan was a good plan.

00:38:40.000 There's a few things.

00:38:41.000 I'm not so sure how it applies here, but I know when I was covering migration issues in Europe, one thing all the migrants would do is they would destroy their passports before coming in and touching ground in any European country because they had basically been told, well, if you don't have a passport, they don't know where they can deport you to.

00:38:57.000 And so there are some tactics that migrants will use to try to prevent deportation, so I'm not sure how difficult it is for these states to do that.

00:39:05.000 If they are trying to apply legally to get in but don't have standing, it would be much easier to deport them.

00:39:10.000 But then if they're going in and claiming asylum status, there still has to be some sort of court case, which is the problem, because they still have to be held somewhere.

00:39:18.000 Our goodwill is being taken advantage of.

00:39:20.000 People who are coming here are not asylum seekers, they're economic migrants.

00:39:23.000 I get it.

00:39:24.000 I'll tell you this, I have infinitely more respect for them than the modern American leftist that hates this country, but there still has to be a process for the sake of maintaining what this country is.

00:39:34.000 If it's good, and, I mean, our economy's not so good these days, but still better than other places, well then, there's a reason why it is, because there's a system in place.

00:39:41.000 If people just come in, start ripping apart that system, it's the decline of empire.

00:39:46.000 I mean, actually, wasn't the Roman Empire dealing with immigration crisis?

00:39:49.000 Hugely.

00:39:49.000 It was the fall of the empire.

00:39:51.000 It was all the northern, like, I don't know who was it, not the Vandals, people in the northeast. 0.89

00:39:57.000 But basically, after the empire had spread all throughout the Eastern and the Western Roman Empires, the empire split in half, but then it just like, over the next 200 years, people just kept pouring across the border.

00:40:09.000 And then they would set up their new government like their foreign government in Rome in the Roman territory.

00:40:14.000 Then all of a sudden you realize it's not Roman territory anymore because it's that other government is now running the show.

00:40:20.000 Rome also had like bureaucratic complexity that wasn't sustainable past a certain point and part of that is like... Sound familiar?

00:40:28.000 Yeah, and kind of what you're talking about, like when you're saying the culture is part of what holds people together, that's like the story.

00:40:34.000 It's the agreed-upon story.

00:40:36.000 It also lends into why at first you don't need to hire mercenaries because the story is strong and people believe it.

00:40:43.000 And then after a while, when you get a certain critical mass of burn it down, this place doesn't, you know, people in the country disrespecting the story of the very country or the nation.

00:40:54.000 That's when it starts to come apart is when the belief that this is even a good thing that we're upholding.

00:41:00.000 And then what you were just mentioning about like at the beginning of the nation, how many bills were being passed.

00:41:07.000 Well, it also feels like that the Constitution was there to say that this is what the government is and that's it.

00:41:15.000 And then it just kept growing and growing and growing.

00:41:17.000 And then a lot of people, they need to secure their position.

00:41:21.000 So keep passing bills, keep making your job position relevant.

00:41:27.000 So that complexity grows, not because I believe in it and I believe what this nation could be, but a lot of it is self-preservation.

00:41:36.000 So it builds this bureaucratic complexity that just can't sustain for very long.

00:41:42.000 A lot of people are commenting saying I'm wrong.

00:41:44.000 States don't have the authority to deport people.

00:41:47.000 Only the federal government does.

00:41:49.000 But I kind of... I don't know how that makes sense.

00:41:52.000 I mean, I accept that I may be wrong on that.

00:41:55.000 I just mean, like, the states have to have the ability to be like, you just illegally entered.

00:41:59.000 Turn around and go away.

00:42:00.000 You know what I mean?

00:42:03.000 I mean, I guess, but Biden doesn't seem to care about it.

00:42:05.000 So if you're, I mean, look, Carrie Lake's talk, at the very least, I'll put it this way.

00:42:09.000 Fine.

00:42:10.000 Maybe they can't legally, but couldn't they just Anyway, I don't know.

00:42:15.000 I don't understand.

00:42:16.000 Well, they're getting steamrolled by the federal government on every single level.

00:42:20.000 I mean, even before migrants are entering Texas, they are getting cash-based interventions

00:42:26.000 from the UN, whose number one funder is the United States and their government, right?

00:42:30.000 So American tax dollars are going to funding migrants' trip from South America and Mexico.

00:42:36.000 You know, Ian, you talk about the fall of Rome a lot, right?

00:42:38.000 handing out these cards in Reynosa at migrant camps, debit cards from the UN so that they

00:42:44.000 can make it there.

00:42:45.000 You can look this up on the Center for Immigration Studies.

00:42:47.000 It's a real thing.

00:42:48.000 Your tax dollars are directly going to funding illegal migrants' journey up into Texas.

00:42:52.000 Okay, hold on, hold on.

00:42:53.000 You know, Ian, you talk about the fall of Rome a lot, right?

00:42:56.000 And it seems like what happened with Rome was that migrants started coming in. 0.89

00:43:01.000 What if our adversaries studying that said, here's a way to destroy a country.

00:43:06.000 Started funding mass migration.

00:43:09.000 But the U.S.

00:43:10.000 is funding it.

00:43:11.000 The U.S.

00:43:11.000 are the number one, you know, funder to organizations like the U.N.

00:43:15.000 who are giving the money to the migrants.

00:43:17.000 So why are the U.S.

00:43:18.000 destroying themselves?

00:43:19.000 I don't understand.

00:43:19.000 That's a great question.

00:43:21.000 And like, is the U.S.

00:43:23.000 a singular thing anymore?

00:43:24.000 Or is it an organism attacking itself?

00:43:28.000 Why is Tim smiling like that?

00:43:30.000 Because I'm seeing all the comments people are making about Bucko.

00:43:36.000 He's giving this like ominous smile like he knew something.

00:43:39.000 I'm petting the cat while smiling.

00:43:45.000 People are posting like emojis and stuff in the chat and making jokes about Bucko.

00:43:50.000 He's very pleased.

00:43:51.000 So Bucco doesn't seem to care.

00:43:53.000 Law enforcement officers cannot arrest someone solely for illegal presence

00:43:57.000 for the purpose of deporting them because it is a civil violation.

00:44:00.000 Didn't they have a something in place where during covid they could

00:44:04.000 like turn them right around though?

00:44:05.000 Yeah, so there was like a title 42.

00:44:08.000 Yeah, but they got Biden got rid of that. 0.88

00:44:10.000 I don't think yet.

00:44:11.000 I think not yet court blocked him.

00:44:12.000 He's trying to we should hire mercenaries on the state level to remove base.

00:44:18.000 Here's what I'll say though, you know to people who are saying that we can't deport them.

00:44:23.000 Okay.

00:44:23.000 Well, I'll say this wouldn't they be better off being detained or something or in some way organized in such that we can Try and reduce crimes, try and stop criminals, try and vet them in the natural process.

00:44:38.000 Like, what I mean is, if we catch a bunch of illegal immigrants, our duty is supposed to be like, okay, let's figure out who you are, what you're doing here, and go through that process. 1.00

00:44:47.000 Why just send them to D.C.?

00:44:49.000 The Biden administration has been smuggling children, trafficking kids on military aircraft around the country.

00:44:54.000 It just feels like you're paying half the bill for them because that's what they're trying to do.

00:44:59.000 Now they're going to call the National Guard and it's going to take more taxpayer dollars.

00:45:02.000 Their attitude is probably like, oh, we don't care about that.

00:45:05.000 Like you're sending migrants to us?

00:45:06.000 Okay.

00:45:08.000 We think them calling an emergency is something bad for them, but they're probably just like, cause to do in business.

00:45:14.000 Hmm.

00:45:15.000 Was it?

00:45:15.000 Okay, wait, I'm like looking this up to make sure this story is real, but I heard that Israel was doing like re-migration where they were paying people to go back to their home countries for a while.

00:45:25.000 I heard that Denmark is doing that because they actually do want to encourage people to go back to wherever they came from.

00:45:31.000 Denmark doesn't really want a lot of immigration to their country.

00:45:35.000 I guess they've really been overwhelmed.

00:45:37.000 Denmark saw what was going on with Sweden with those grenade attacks.

00:45:40.000 Denmark knows what's up.

00:45:42.000 Yeah, it's crazy.

00:45:42.000 So when I was covering the Sweden stuff, we were staying in Copenhagen for a little bit, and when you're going into Sweden, they stop you and they check your IDs, because they're worried about the people who are coming in and out of Sweden.

00:45:56.000 There was a few months before I had gone there, someone threw a grenade onto a balcony, killing an eight-year-old English tourist.

00:46:02.000 Oh, I heard that.

00:46:03.000 Yeah, grenading was a huge problem.

00:46:05.000 I don't know if it still is, but it was a huge problem several years ago.

00:46:07.000 I think it still is.

00:46:08.000 My wife is Dutch and she's, I mean, she's been seeing it for years, her and her family, is that the immigration waves, it's really like the cohesiveness that you would have had in these neighborhoods before starts to come apart.

00:46:23.000 The story, you know, that binds them all together starts to come apart and it's interesting because also Holland and several other places out there is where the thing with the farmers is happening.

00:46:35.000 Cops shooting at them?

00:46:36.000 Right, you know, we're about to run out of food, so the best thing is to stop farmers from doing their job.

00:46:42.000 It's almost like it's on purpose.

00:46:44.000 Zuby called it a controlled demolition.

00:46:45.000 Yeah, that's what I mean.

00:46:47.000 If you listen to Katherine Austin Fitz, and I know I mentioned her on this show before, She worked under George W. Bush in the 90s, I think doing HUD or something like that.

00:47:00.000 But she said she started getting some of her peers telling her that the United States is over, we're removing assets to offshore accounts, and we need a bunch of forward-facing, like public-facing events that will have the public not looking at what the real perpetrator was.

00:47:19.000 So, she's been saying this for years, and she's probably one of the most coherent speakers on the topic, as you can get.

00:47:26.000 And she was even saying with the BLM riots, I think I might have mentioned this before, it was like 34 out of 37 of the riots happened within just a very small perimeter around the central banks there.

00:47:41.000 And her theory was, you know, it just makes it convenient that, like, all this territory can be built up as the smart grid, which is what the whole push is.

00:47:50.000 So build it up as the smart grid.

00:47:52.000 Buy up this, you know, lawn paw shops, the infrastructure.

00:47:56.000 Destroying the businesses and creating crime, which drops property values so they can be bought up and turned into a smart grid.

00:48:01.000 That's what she says.

00:48:02.000 Like, I wouldn't go so far as to say that, you know, but I mean, I wouldn't deny that that might be an angle.

00:48:08.000 But this is Katherine Austen Fitz, you know, having worked under George W. Bush, I'm sorry, Herbert Walker Bush in the 90s, saying that she's been tracking, like, where did that well over $21 trillion of the federal budget go?

00:48:21.000 You know, she's the one that's been tracking all that, so.

00:48:24.000 She was the Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Housing under George W. Bush.

00:48:28.000 I saw a joke on Reddit.

00:48:30.000 Some guy was saying, when my rent prices start going up, I'll just go out into the neighborhood and fire a couple shots off to lower the housing prices.

00:48:40.000 Where it's like, some guy's like, I rented an apartment, heard a gunshot, ran outside, and the guy next door said not to worry about it, it was him.

00:48:46.000 They just tried to keep the rent prices low.

00:48:49.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it.

00:48:50.000 Oh, also, I just want to confirm, because I don't want to put fake news on the Timcast, right?

00:48:55.000 Israel did have a policy where they were giving financial aid to African countries to send back African refugees and migrants.

00:49:03.000 They weren't even sending them back to their home countries.

00:49:05.000 They were like, screw it, just a place in Africa, Rwanda, Eritrea, it'll work. 0.99

00:49:09.000 We'll give you aid.

00:49:10.000 So like, if Israel can do it, why can't we just do it? 0.99

00:49:13.000 We'll give you a bit of support.

00:49:15.000 We're sending them all back.

00:49:17.000 Send them all to Puerto Rico or something. 0.98

00:49:19.000 Puerto Rico doesn't matter! 1.00

00:49:21.000 I wonder if it can be solved because as strict as Trump was, we still saw a massive influx of migrants, the caravans, all that stuff.

00:49:28.000 You know, Trump was very serious.

00:49:30.000 Build the wall, deport them, you gotta go home, you can come in legally, all that stuff. 1.00

00:49:34.000 And during his presidency, we had videos of people charging border guards, like migrant caravan running full speed and attacking U.S.

00:49:40.000 border guards.

00:49:41.000 It's happening every day.

00:49:42.000 When I was just down there in December and what's going on is, like, you drive on the highway from Tapachula up to northern Mexico, you're going to run into a caravan every 20 minutes.

00:49:52.000 I'm not even joking.

00:49:54.000 But what's going on is they'll block the highway to try to get buses north and they'll pressure the government.

00:49:59.000 Oh, these are major shipping routes.

00:50:00.000 If you don't give us a bus, you're not, you're basically, your country is not going to be able to function.

00:50:04.000 So they'll get them buses.

00:50:05.000 But what will happen is then those buses will start to transfer to come and get

00:50:10.000 the caravan and another caravan will block those buses on the way up and then they'll have to negotiate with those

00:50:15.000 guys and it's just absolute chaos there.

00:50:17.000 So when I make jokes about, oh, we need to just start deporting people and do this, we honestly do need some sort

00:50:22.000 of policy that is a yes or no, open or closed, because it's actually destroying every country in between.

00:50:27.000 between. It's destroying Mexico, it's destroying the lives of these people who have no idea 1.00

00:50:31.000 what the actual immigration system is in America. Is there an immigration system? I'm seeing

00:50:35.000 my cousin, my nephew, everyone get in by walking in and when I apply legally I can't get in,

00:50:39.000 so I guess that's just how the US works. I'm going to do that. Everyone's life, migrant, 1.00

00:50:44.000 refugee, Mexican, American is getting destroyed by no clarity on this issue.

00:50:49.000 It's really, really harsh reality because if you just say don't come in and then they

00:50:54.000 do it anyway, what do you do?

00:50:57.000 You arrest them and then you deport them. And then say, please don't come back. And then they come 1.00

00:51:01.000 back and you're like, what do you do? Like at a certain point we're being attacked. I know. Right.

00:51:05.000 So the cost of either integration or repatriation is extensive for us. We have to pay for planes.

00:51:14.000 We have to pay for buses.

00:51:16.000 We have to pay for border guards, for police, for places where these people can stay. 0.97

00:51:21.000 We have to pay for medical treatment for their children. 0.96

00:51:23.000 And they just keep coming.

00:51:24.000 I'm like, we got a serious problem that's not being dealt with.

00:51:27.000 I mean, look, we got this story right here.

00:51:29.000 From NBC News, Biden administration to fill border wall gaps near Yuma, Arizona.

00:51:35.000 Let me just break the story down for you in a simple tweet from Defiant L's.

00:51:40.000 Kareen Jean-Pierre tweeted in 2019, where are the pesos for your bigoted wall to rail Donald Trump?

00:51:46.000 Today, she says that they're filling major gaps in the border wall because Biden is trying to save lives.

00:51:52.000 These people have no logic.

00:51:53.000 There's no morals.

00:51:55.000 It is just whatever their tribe wants. 0.53

00:51:57.000 Meaningless.

00:51:58.000 But I'm curious your thoughts on this.

00:51:59.000 Like, why would the Biden administration be doing anything in filling gaps in the border wall if they're failing us to this degree?

00:52:05.000 I have no idea.

00:52:07.000 Is it like their quota is done?

00:52:08.000 Like, okay, that's all we needed.

00:52:10.000 Close the walls, you know.

00:52:12.000 Well, I mean, the truth is that the issue of illegal immigration has been a football that's been passed back between Republicans and Democrats for years, and nothing really changes when it goes back and forth.

00:52:22.000 It's always been a disaster.

00:52:24.000 It's always been a massive problem.

00:52:25.000 Honestly, something that's not really recognized is the southern border program that Obama brought in place in 2014 was actually massively successful.

00:52:34.000 He reduced illegal migration from Southern America by 70% by putting mass funding into Checkpoints, walls, patrols down on the Guatemalan border.

00:52:46.000 So there are actually, if you look back and forth between Republicans and Democrats, their policies aren't that different.

00:52:51.000 The whole thing is just a disaster that they're all terrified to address in a strong, confident way because no one wants to be seen as the president that stopped all of the poor refugees or children from coming in, whatever the policy will be publicly, but they know they can't just have Millions of people with no jobs, no background checks, nothing, sitting in Texas.

00:53:11.000 I figured it out.

00:53:12.000 Remember that story we were talking about the other day where Mexican citizens were getting angry that Americans were coming down and they weren't speaking Spanish?

00:53:19.000 Biden's building the wall to stop Americans from escaping.

00:53:23.000 He's like, no, they're trying to get out!

00:53:24.000 Quick, put the wall up! 1.00

00:53:26.000 Gotta bring them in.

00:53:27.000 Gotta bring them in.

00:53:28.000 Oh, man.

00:53:29.000 Yeah, the interesting thing is why, even if they want immigration for like, supposed economic reasons, why all from Central and South America?

00:53:39.000 Like, there's tons of immigrants from European countries that would love to come here.

00:53:43.000 I mean, there's tons of Ukrainians that would love to come here.

00:53:45.000 So I have my friends who are in Europe talk about how difficult it is to get a visa to fly to the US.

00:53:51.000 And they say, you know, everyone knows you fly to Mexico, you can walk in and you're fine.

00:53:56.000 But when you try to do it legally, they make it difficult, like impossible.

00:53:58.000 My wife is still going through immigration and it's been since 2017.

00:54:02.000 And you said she's from the Netherlands.

00:54:04.000 Yeah.

00:54:04.000 I mean, that's an EU nation.

00:54:05.000 That should be easy.

00:54:06.000 Yeah.

00:54:06.000 Right?

00:54:07.000 Walk right in, welcome.

00:54:07.000 And she speaks perfect English.

00:54:09.000 And she's married to a US citizen.

00:54:11.000 Right.

00:54:11.000 And we have three kids.

00:54:12.000 Wow.

00:54:13.000 The cartel offer like full board deals for people that are typically from Asia, Arab countries, a lot of places.

00:54:23.000 You can pay like 50 grand to get trafficked through Mexico into the US.

00:54:28.000 As someone that has money that just doesn't want to wait for the official system.

00:54:32.000 I was meeting Nigerians in Reynosa that were like, actually, I'm just walking up to Canada.

00:54:36.000 This is just easier than applying for a visa.

00:54:39.000 I'm visiting a friend in Nova Scotia, is what one guy told me.

00:54:43.000 And he figured he'd take the route through Mexico and through the U.S.

00:54:46.000 instead of just waiting on a visa because it was easier.

00:54:49.000 It's just crazy.

00:54:52.000 You were looking at Americans who are fleeing into Canada.

00:54:55.000 Americans fleeing into Canada?

00:54:56.000 Yeah, didn't you go up and track that story or something?

00:54:59.000 Oh, Haitians! 1.00

00:55:00.000 That was a while back.

00:55:01.000 Yeah, there were Haitians walking through Roxham Road up into Quebec, I believe, that felt they were going to get deported by Trump after their refugee status had gone up and they were going to get sent back to Haiti.

00:55:14.000 We opened our whole stadium there for them, and it was wild because You could literally just take a taxi to this suburban neighborhood, walk across this pathway, and the Canadian police were sitting there and they'd pick up your luggage for you and just walk you down to the stadium and give you a bed.

00:55:28.000 We have no borders.

00:55:30.000 It's all a joke.

00:55:32.000 I don't blame any migrant for coming in illegally when this is what they watch on the news.

00:55:35.000 It's like, okay, I guess this is how your system works.

00:55:38.000 Your cops are literally waiting there for us with buses and will take our luggage for us.

00:55:42.000 And this happens in Texas too.

00:55:43.000 They've got buses ready to transport them.

00:55:45.000 They're like, come on in, whatever.

00:55:47.000 What would they have done in 1960 if this was happening?

00:55:50.000 We had very different immigration in 1960.

00:55:52.000 Like, it wasn't, you know, we didn't have the mass welfare states that we do now, right?

00:55:58.000 If you came in, it was like, you're working or you're dying.

00:56:01.000 So we didn't have so many people that didn't have jobs and didn't have support systems migrating.

00:56:07.000 It was people that were ready to come in and die or work, right? 0.70

00:56:11.000 But now they're getting unemployment or like... Now that we've got massive support systems, the immigration is very different.

00:56:17.000 OK, what if We built huge treadmills. 0.78

00:56:23.000 Or, you know, no, better yet, platforms that, when you step on them, it spins a gear which generates power.

00:56:32.000 So when all of these people are illegally crossing a border, they're all trampling these things, pushing these boxes down, generating electricity, and powering our grid.

00:56:42.000 Sounds like slavery with extra steps, bud.

00:56:44.000 A lot of extra steps that we do around here.

00:56:46.000 But hear him out, hear him out.

00:56:50.000 If they're planting like pollinator flowers to bring the bees back.

00:56:54.000 No, no, like what we do is as they cross the border, they get blasted with pollen.

00:56:58.000 So they're running through this field, pressing buttons with pollens, you know, just pouring off their body.

00:57:03.000 They're the pollinators. 0.98

00:57:04.000 And then once they get in, we take them and immediately put them in a pneumatic tube, which sends them back to their country. 0.99

00:57:10.000 I can't wait for the Media Matters article on this idea.

00:57:13.000 Back to the tube.

00:57:14.000 Yes, Tim makes Rick and Morty reference.

00:57:17.000 They're outraged by it.

00:57:18.000 Now, my point is rather sarcastic as to what the U.S.

00:57:21.000 government is actually doing.

00:57:23.000 They're creating second-class citizens. 0.72

00:57:25.000 They're talking about giving IDs to these people so they can have benefits.

00:57:28.000 Okay, so they can't vote.

00:57:29.000 They'll struggle to find work, but they'll let them be here to work.

00:57:33.000 Yeah, they're creating serfs. 0.96

00:57:35.000 The Democratic Party and their Republican neocon cohorts They're creating a surf class.

00:57:40.000 Yeah, I'm not for that.

00:57:41.000 Very true.

00:57:42.000 I'm not for that.

00:57:43.000 I think people should enter legally.

00:57:44.000 They should be treated respectfully.

00:57:46.000 I don't think non-citizens should vote, but if you're a legal resident with the right to work, then congratulations. 0.96

00:57:52.000 We can hang out, we can crack beers, and then pass your citizenship test, understand what this country means and why it means what it means.

00:58:00.000 Come and vote, man.

00:58:00.000 We're excited to have you.

00:58:02.000 But just letting anybody come in at any time Nah, man.

00:58:05.000 And when your goal is to reduce racism in society or whatever, which is what many progressives claim their goal is, do you really think that's going to happen when the only- if you're living in a poor, you know, white neighborhood growing up and then a bunch of people come in and the only thing they do is they can't speak the same language as you, they only work lowest class minimum wage jobs, like you're creating this perception in society of us and them.

00:58:28.000 When you don't have any sort of assimilation that takes place and there's no differences in groups of people that come in.

00:58:34.000 It's all just one very low working class, you know, non-integrated group of people. 0.99

00:58:39.000 That's like a recipe for disaster they're creating and I don't, I hope they realize, I think they realize what they're doing. 0.98

00:58:46.000 If they do realize, damn, that's dark.

00:58:49.000 Yeah, the assimilation part is interesting because, like, if you, I mean, why do people say New York is so lonely when there's so many people? 0.95

00:58:57.000 It's, I mean, like, I wouldn't go so far as to say that's absolutely true, but when you have people in the same neighborhood that, for one, maybe can't speak the same language, but they don't belong to the same culture, that right there creates separation in the very same neighborhood.

00:59:14.000 You know, there's something about, like, that that kind of rips the story apart, that kind of holds together, like, why is this going to be a good neighborhood at all?

00:59:23.000 You got to be a part of the same story, and that doesn't seem like that's a care for any of the immigrants.

00:59:31.000 It doesn't seem like, you know, come in and, as you were saying, understand what this, you know, nation is, or what bonds us together, regardless of the nation.

00:59:41.000 Like, what bonds us together?

00:59:42.000 And that's what my wife was saying about Holland.

00:59:45.000 It was just this influx of immigration, and there was this rift, not just language-wise, but, like, a lot of the immigrants, as she was saying, and she saw it, just did not care about the culture or the glue that connected the people.

00:59:59.000 The Swedish Prime Minister has come out just a few months ago and said, we are living in two parallel societies.

01:00:05.000 And this is a left-wing Swedish Prime Minister, not right-wing anyways.

01:00:09.000 And she's like, yeah, it's becoming a crisis in our country.

01:00:12.000 These people are not assimilating.

01:00:13.000 They're not getting jobs.

01:00:14.000 They're not speaking the same language.

01:00:15.000 We've got two countries.

01:00:16.000 They're 30 years too late.

01:00:17.000 Yeah.

01:00:18.000 So I went down to Sweden and I was hearing all this rhetoric from people on the right saying that the refugees were creating all this crime.

01:00:27.000 I went there and found, not true actually.

01:00:29.000 Completely not true.

01:00:30.000 I mean a little bit, but not really.

01:00:32.000 Like the narrative of migrant refugees burning cars and stuff, some of those things were happening.

01:00:36.000 The reality was, the children, Swedish citizens, descendants of Somali migrants from the 90s, were, are the cause of a lot of, are the ones perpetrating 1.00

01:00:47.000 a lot of the crime.

01:00:49.000 The reason was when the Somali refugees and migrants came to Sweden in the 90s, they said,

01:00:54.000 just put them all in one place and forget about them.

01:00:56.000 So these people had no incentive to learn the language and no ability to get jobs because 0.96

01:01:01.000 Swedes are extremely racist. 0.99

01:01:03.000 It is, it is, it is like everything you think about woke, you know, woke-ism, Sweden. 0.98

01:01:07.000 They claim to be for diversity, but they're extremely racist.

01:01:11.000 So these are the kind of people that will be like, Oh yeah, you know, racism is so wrong.

01:01:16.000 And then it's like, here's a migrant. 1.00

01:01:18.000 Don't bring that person near me.

01:01:19.000 So what they did was they put all the Somali migrants in places like, uh, Rinkeby is one place I think it was. 0.96

01:01:26.000 Where a lot of Somali people end up living.

01:01:28.000 They have kids.

01:01:30.000 Those kids are raised by people of Somali descent.

01:01:33.000 They're treated by Swedish, by other people in Sweden, by native Swedes, as immigrants, even though they were born there.

01:01:41.000 Speak the language, and are citizens.

01:01:44.000 They go home to visit their families on their parents' side in Somalia, and they're called Swedish.

01:01:49.000 They're not called, so they have no country. 0.71

01:01:51.000 So what happens?

01:01:52.000 When the police come into their neighborhoods, they say, You are not a part of our society at all.

01:01:57.000 You are just people in a van as far as we're concerned.

01:02:00.000 You can't do anything here.

01:02:01.000 So we actually had this was like one of the most contentious moments when we had cops tell us.

01:02:05.000 They start throwing stones at us.

01:02:06.000 What can we do?

01:02:07.000 We just leave.

01:02:08.000 That happened to us in Paris years and years ago.

01:02:10.000 Do you remember when we were in that no-go zone in Paris and the cops told us like if something happens you're on your own?

01:02:15.000 Which one was it?

01:02:17.000 Are you sure I was there?

01:02:18.000 You were there.

01:02:18.000 I'm pretty sure you were there.

01:02:20.000 Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:02:22.000 There were riots going on.

01:02:23.000 Yeah.

01:02:23.000 Remember we left you in the falafel store to die?

01:02:25.000 I remember those.

01:02:28.000 There was like a big, there were big protests and we couldn't get back to the, to the Airbnb or whatever, something like that.

01:02:34.000 Yeah.

01:02:35.000 They started yelling at us that they were going to kill us.

01:02:37.000 And our translator said that.

01:02:38.000 And we were like, where's Tim when we were going to find our car and you were in the falafel store.

01:02:42.000 That's all I remember.

01:02:43.000 Are you sure that was me?

01:02:45.000 Absolutely sure.

01:02:45.000 I did a video on it.

01:02:46.000 Really?

01:02:47.000 Shout out to Falafel.

01:02:48.000 And you were like, forget Tim, we need to go.

01:02:51.000 For real!

01:02:52.000 I don't know, maybe I need to watch the video to remember.

01:02:54.000 It was years ago.

01:02:54.000 Yeah.

01:02:56.000 I do remember in France, like, there were big protests and the trains were blocked off and the cops wouldn't let anyone through and stuff like that.

01:03:02.000 We went to a few.

01:03:03.000 Yeah.

01:03:05.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:03:06.000 Northern parts of France.

01:03:07.000 I think I remember this.

01:03:08.000 There was, like, a lot of crime.

01:03:09.000 There were shootings.

01:03:11.000 And locals were, like, scared.

01:03:14.000 I remember when I went to Sweden the first time, this guy was scared to drive in certain neighborhoods.

01:03:18.000 Because he was just like, these neighborhoods have become, like, their own... You know, they colloquially call them no-go zones.

01:03:24.000 And then the media was like, there's no such thing as a no-go zone.

01:03:26.000 Then you look at the definition and it's like, a no-go zone is an area where, you know, there's, like, high crime or police tell you to avoid.

01:03:34.000 And like, you either can't go there, you're told to avoid going there.

01:03:38.000 And so in these areas, like you actually had Swedish police issue statement saying like, these are high crime areas, but then deny that they were in any way no-go zone.

01:03:45.000 And I'm like, my attitude was, I don't care what they're officially, the locals just refer to them that way.

01:03:51.000 And the cops too, the cops will say it too.

01:03:53.000 They're like, this is a no-go zone, just so you know.

01:03:55.000 Oh, but those don't exist, by the way.

01:03:57.000 Just don't say that publicly.

01:03:58.000 How does it compare to a favela?

01:04:01.000 I think favelas are awesome.

01:04:02.000 Because I mean at least when I was in Brazil, favelas were just like shanty towns, you know, in Brazil.

01:04:08.000 Regular people live in regular lives.

01:04:10.000 They're just, you know, poorer.

01:04:12.000 And so the crazy thing was how people built houses on top of and through other people's houses.

01:04:18.000 I haven't seen that, but I've been to some favelas that I would never go back to.

01:04:22.000 What is a favela?

01:04:22.000 of the roofs and started building another house. To get to it, they have to go through the house.

01:04:27.000 Nobody cares. I was like, wow, it's kind of crazy.

01:04:29.000 I haven't seen that, but I've been to some favelas that I would never go back to.

01:04:33.000 What is a favela? I've never heard this word.

01:04:35.000 It means shantytown.

01:04:36.000 Yeah. Like in Brazil, it's...

01:04:38.000 Is it supposed to be like a dangerous area? Is that the...

01:04:40.000 Yeah, and it's definitely the lowest economic areas and sometimes they're right next to like a high economic area.

01:04:47.000 Those are the most dangerous when there's like a contrast.

01:04:50.000 If you go to super poor areas in the world where there's no contrast, there's no like jealousy or like trying to strive for that wealth or whatever, people are perfectly content.

01:04:57.000 It's when there's that Like, developing societies are really rough.

01:05:02.000 I don't know, man.

01:05:03.000 I mean, maybe they're dangerous, but maybe because I'm from Chicago, I just didn't feel that way to me.

01:05:07.000 No, I mean that literally.

01:05:08.000 Could be.

01:05:08.000 Because, you know, they say Chicago's got more gun deaths than Iraq.

01:05:12.000 Going to bed at night in the city and then hearing gunshots in the distance is just something you grow up with.

01:05:17.000 Like, someone pulling out a gun at my local high school.

01:05:21.000 Fight breaks out and some dude pulls out a gun.

01:05:22.000 It's just like...

01:05:23.000 I'm in the favelas in Brazil and it's like a dude with like an open fire just grilling chicken and we're like, this is cool.

01:05:29.000 They're like playing music and people were just chilling and I was like, I don't know.

01:05:32.000 Have you seen City of God?

01:05:34.000 No.

01:05:35.000 It's all about the favelas.

01:05:36.000 Really, really good story, but it's about how like the children gangs, gangs that were literally like kids from maybe four or five years old all the way up to like 15 with guns were like running some of these favelas.

01:05:49.000 You know what you gotta understand, though, is that most people aren't insane.

01:05:54.000 You know what I mean?

01:05:55.000 I don't know about that one.

01:05:57.000 No, I mean, there are insane people, but I typically find in my travels having covered, you know, conflict crisis, being in anarchist districts in like Turkey, is that there's a goal, there's an idea, there's like, you can see what they're doing and why they're doing it.

01:06:14.000 They're not the Joker.

01:06:16.000 So like, When I'm in the favelas, they're like, here is likely what's gonna happen, like if someone wants to steal from you, they're gonna take your stuff.

01:06:23.000 I was warned when I was in Venezuela, they were like, when you get express kidnapped in Venezuela, they'll give you a ride anywhere you wanna go.

01:06:30.000 Like, their goal is to take your money, not to destroy your life, for the most part.

01:06:34.000 So, one guy told me a story where he was like, he went to an ATM machine, and as soon as he walked up, guy walked up to him and said, you know, take your money out, and then, now get in the car, they're driving in the car and they're like there's a guy

01:06:46.000 pointing a gun and he's like give me your wallet give me your stuff give me your phone give

01:06:49.000 me all your cash where can we drop you off and he's like oh you can drop me off here and like

01:06:53.000 it was like a 20 minute drive and then they like drove him they're like all right man

01:06:57.000 have a go on he's like all right bye that's nice of them well because like there are bad people 0.97

01:07:02.000 Some of these people will kill you.

01:07:03.000 But if you look at some of these videos out of Brazil, you see them so often where someone's robbing a store and they get shot and killed.

01:07:09.000 You may notice, like, in these videos, the dude robbing is not prepared to shoot anyone.

01:07:15.000 Like, have you seen these videos?

01:07:17.000 I think I know the idea you're talking about.

01:07:19.000 Tons of them.

01:07:19.000 Yeah.

01:07:19.000 A guy will walk into a store, and then he'll pull out a gun and start pointing, and then everyone just unloads on him.

01:07:25.000 The dude will try and run away, because they were threatening these people but not really prepared to actually do it.

01:07:30.000 But, when you point a gun at someone, they're prepared to defend their own lives.

01:07:34.000 This is the issue.

01:07:35.000 These people, they're doing these robberies, they're not actually prepared to hurt an innocent person, but these people with the guns aren't innocent, so those people are.

01:07:43.000 My point is, in my experience having been to a lot of countries, If you just try and understand the people and their motivations, you're typically fine.

01:07:51.000 That's a really good point.

01:07:52.000 I think the people you have to be the most scared of are, it's the classic thing, the people who have nothing left to lose.

01:07:58.000 Like, you never get in a fight with a crackhead.

01:08:00.000 You're gonna lose every time. 0.75

01:08:01.000 Or at least they're gonna gouge your eyes out or something before.

01:08:04.000 Or like, you look at like the situation where those two girls were beheaded in Morocco in the mountains by these migrants who had been sitting there for years trying to get over the, into Soweto, Malia, over the fences and they just, They can't go back, don't have enough money, destroyed their passports, can't go forward. 0.87

01:08:21.000 Nothing left to lose. 0.91

01:08:22.000 Let's chop these girls' heads off after assaulting them. 1.00

01:08:25.000 Like, jeez, those are the scary... But you're right, if people have motivations that you can identify, you might be fine. 1.00

01:08:30.000 Right, but that also means, like, when you're seeing someone, when you see ISIS, you're like, I know their motivations.

01:08:36.000 Run.

01:08:36.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:08:37.000 Like, the average person, so my point is like, you're going to a fefella. 0.98

01:08:40.000 The average motivation of a person is, I'm gonna get food for my family.

01:08:44.000 I'm gonna get nice clothes and try and just live.

01:08:46.000 So then when they come up to you and they threaten you, it's like, if you just give them your stuff,

01:08:50.000 they're gonna leave you alone.

01:08:52.000 Or, you can figure out, you know, are they really prepared to fight with you?

01:08:57.000 And if typically you see this in the United States too, they did this study.

01:09:01.000 They got a bunch of convicted criminals who had committed armed robberies, showed them videos of people walking, and asked them who would they choose to target.

01:09:11.000 Turns out, like over 80% of the time, the people they chose had been robbed before.

01:09:16.000 There was something about the way people carried themselves that made them look weaker and susceptible.

01:09:21.000 So that's, you can understand these things.

01:09:23.000 For the most part, when I would go to like the favelas, you know that almost all people don't want trouble.

01:09:28.000 Like, A fox, for instance, will not come onto our property when the dog's around, unless the fox is starving, and it has no choice.

01:09:37.000 And that's the issue.

01:09:38.000 So most people, like when you come across someone who's like desperate, they might, you know, not want to destroy you, but they'll take your stuff. 0.98

01:09:46.000 The real scary thing is ideologues, because you know they want to destroy you, because those people are crazy.

01:09:51.000 Depending on where you are, there was that one story about the two people riding their bikes through Tajikistan or whatever, and then ISIS just rammed them and ran them over or whatever.

01:10:03.000 Some places are dominated by ideologues and zealots, you gotta watch out for that.

01:10:07.000 I tell you this, I would gladly, with a smile on my face, walk through any favela in Brazil, going to stores, hanging out with people, and not worry about it.

01:10:18.000 But I would be much, much more worried to go to a protest in New York City where there's leftists.

01:10:25.000 You know what I mean?

01:10:26.000 Because I know their motivations.

01:10:28.000 The motivations of the left is violence, bricks, anger, and rage.

01:10:31.000 They'll scream in your face.

01:10:33.000 They'll do what they did to Andy Ngo.

01:10:35.000 In a favela, it's people that want to sell you a cheeseburger, man.

01:10:37.000 Cheeseburger might have worms in it, depending on who you're getting it cooked from, but No one there wants to be known on the internet as the guy who threw a brick at Tim Pool's head.

01:10:47.000 They don't care.

01:10:48.000 Whereas New York, there's probably a few of those.

01:10:53.000 You know what's really messed up, though, is the favela tours they started doing a while ago, where rich tourists will get on buses and drive through poor neighborhoods as a tourist attraction.

01:11:03.000 That's disgusting. 0.77

01:11:04.000 That is super nasty. 0.98

01:11:05.000 Geez, I feel like I'm looking at images of favelas thinking about how cool they look.

01:11:09.000 They do.

01:11:09.000 I'm kind of like that, that guy, I'm taking a tour right now, but you pull up an image.

01:11:13.000 He's just doing it on the internet.

01:11:15.000 It's a spectacular, spectacular imagery to see the way they build these houses in these communities.

01:11:21.000 Well, I mean, they're like, not filled with any.

01:11:24.000 Yeah, there's probably no structural integrity.

01:11:26.000 Like there's no building codes and whatever.

01:11:28.000 Getting, getting from building to building is the craziest thing because there's like zigzagging narrow quarters, like one human body length wide.

01:11:36.000 That's so I went to, uh, uh, uh, what was it?

01:11:39.000 Um, what was it called?

01:11:42.000 It's, uh, Cidadão da Polícia, I think.

01:11:44.000 My Portuguese, it doesn't, it's non-existent.

01:11:46.000 They had a, they, they had built a mock favela for trainings for, for favela policing and combat.

01:11:53.000 Because the favelas are random.

01:11:55.000 You know, like, in the States, it's a grid system we use for most cities.

01:11:59.000 So... There's a logic.

01:12:00.000 There's a logic to it.

01:12:01.000 But in favelas, it's like, you're gonna turn the corner and some guy's gonna pop out of a window.

01:12:05.000 That was really fun when I went down there, because we climbed on top of their mock favela.

01:12:09.000 And I think it was, like, eight feet or ten feet.

01:12:12.000 And then I asked the cop, and I was like, what do you do when you're up here?

01:12:14.000 And the guy's down there, and he's like, heh.

01:12:16.000 And then he jumps down, and he's like, just like that.

01:12:18.000 And then I jumped down after him, and he was like, whoa!

01:12:21.000 He was like, don't get hurt, man.

01:12:22.000 I'm like, I'm good.

01:12:23.000 And he was actually really surprised I did it, because, you know, he thought, like, we do training here, we can handle it, and I'm like, I've been skating for 20 years.

01:12:29.000 Yeah, you skateboard.

01:12:30.000 I was like, I can jump off a building, I'm good.

01:12:32.000 Bet they're pretty good at parkour.

01:12:34.000 Oh, yeah?

01:12:34.000 No, for real, man.

01:12:36.000 That's why the police needed to build this place, build a mock favela for training, because you try to chase down a dude who lives there.

01:12:43.000 Home field advantage?

01:12:44.000 Yeah.

01:12:45.000 No, but seriously, it's a maze.

01:12:47.000 I'm telling you, I went to one house.

01:12:49.000 To get to the neighbor's house, you had to walk through their kitchen.

01:12:52.000 Like, walk through their house to get to the next house.

01:12:54.000 This is, like, perfect Assassin's Creed territory.

01:12:56.000 Yeah.

01:12:57.000 Just jump everywhere, all over the... But they... Well, the crazy thing is the power lines.

01:13:01.000 Yeah.

01:13:01.000 But they've been doing for a while now something called reclamation or pacification, where they've been sending in these, like, high-powered tactical units, rifles, to just clear out the gangs.

01:13:15.000 The gangs were the real government of the favelas.

01:13:18.000 Yeah.

01:13:18.000 Because there was no government.

01:13:20.000 So what happens is the gangs, they'd call them, started to, like locals would organize and come up with their own systems of governance.

01:13:28.000 That's what humans do.

01:13:30.000 When the government tried to say like, hey, these people should be paying taxes and we should have control of this.

01:13:35.000 They went in and started rounding these people up, shooting them in many circumstances.

01:13:39.000 It was pretty brutal.

01:13:40.000 Just another gang.

01:13:42.000 You know, there's a pretty euphoric way to get mugged.

01:13:44.000 I think it's like Ecuador and Colombia, they use towe or scopolamine where you just like, it's this powder that you can put on a piece of paper and they'll go up to like tourists and they just blow it in their face and it makes you so suggestible that you're like, All right, can you go to the ATM?

01:14:02.000 Can you pull out all the cash that you have?

01:14:04.000 And now take me back to your hotel or wherever you stay in.

01:14:06.000 Where are your valuables?

01:14:08.000 And you'll just say it.

01:14:10.000 You'll give it up.

01:14:11.000 People are shocked.

01:14:12.000 They don't remember.

01:14:13.000 Yeah, they blow it in your face.

01:14:15.000 It's the zombie drug.

01:14:16.000 I think it's the strongest nightshade, scopolamine.

01:14:19.000 Scopolamine, yeah.

01:14:21.000 That's a really respectable way to mug someone.

01:14:25.000 I'd like to get mugged that way someday.

01:14:27.000 Chemically.

01:14:28.000 If I'm going to get mugged, that's going to be the one I pick.

01:14:30.000 No, I'll do it regardless.

01:14:32.000 They call it the devil's breath, the scopolamine.

01:14:35.000 Some put it in ayahuasca as well.

01:14:37.000 They call it toey, but they make it an admixture of ayahuasca, and then sometimes people get taken advantage of that way.

01:14:46.000 I kind of feel like it's gotta be, uh, an urban legend, the potency of scopolamine.

01:14:53.000 You know?

01:14:54.000 Maybe.

01:14:54.000 Like, these stories of people, someone will, like, walk up to them at the ATM, and then do, like, the witch doctor thing, where they go, and blow it in your face, and then you're like, and they zombify you.

01:15:05.000 That's crazy.

01:15:06.000 Like, how does that actually happen, you know?

01:15:08.000 I wondered the same thing about- Oh, it treats motion sickness.

01:15:11.000 Oh, okay.

01:15:12.000 Yeah, it has uses.

01:15:13.000 Yeah.

01:15:14.000 What were you gonna say?

01:15:16.000 Well, I was just reading this thing in this weird magazine called Thought Nachos about PCP and leading it to cannibalism.

01:15:28.000 PCP leading people into cannibalism and how many stories came up with that.

01:15:33.000 Oh, when I was in Mexico, something really interesting I was told was that, you know, all the human sacrifices they did in like, what was it, Mayan culture?

01:15:40.000 The Aztecs.

01:15:41.000 Sorry, the Aztecs, not Mayan.

01:15:43.000 They were telling me that they'd put the people on like shrooms and tons of different drugs, and they actually wanted to be sacrificed because they thought it was like such a noble, important death.

01:15:52.000 And when they were on all these drugs, it was actually like this beautiful experience.

01:15:56.000 It made people's hearts being eaten a lot more lovely for me.

01:15:59.000 What if that's how you ascend?

01:16:03.000 You take DMT until you blast off, sending your spirit into the fourth dimension, then they sacrifice your body, severing the tether and keeping you trapped in the fourth dimension.

01:16:14.000 You're on another level right now.

01:16:15.000 Man, I feel like I'm on DMT.

01:16:17.000 So your spirit's already in the other dimension.

01:16:19.000 You don't have to experience the visceral transaction.

01:16:23.000 You're already peacefully there.

01:16:25.000 And then they kick you down a flight of steps.

01:16:26.000 And your friends eat your heart.

01:16:28.000 That's cute.

01:16:28.000 Yeah.

01:16:29.000 What was it?

01:16:30.000 Apocalypto?

01:16:31.000 Yeah.

01:16:32.000 I think.

01:16:33.000 Did you guys watch Vikings?

01:16:34.000 I haven't seen it.

01:16:35.000 No.

01:16:35.000 Wasn't that like a thing in Vikings 2 where they talk about how it was like a huge honor to be sacrificed to the gods and people would want to get that position?

01:16:45.000 I mean, I don't know how much Vikings is, like, referencing historical information, but I just know that's, like, a theme.

01:16:53.000 Geez, well, the ancient Lithuanian cults and stuff would do that for sure.

01:16:57.000 What are these pagan religions?

01:17:00.000 They would even take body parts or eat body parts of, you know, the conquered peoples. 0.99

01:17:06.000 I guess that's, yeah, this is still a thing today.

01:17:08.000 You have, like, ISIS members that are like, bam, gonna blow my soul up.

01:17:11.000 I just want a Romuva religion. 0.99

01:17:12.000 Reading the crime about scopolamine, they don't blow it in your face, they just lace your drink with it.

01:17:16.000 So is there video of someone getting dosed with scopolamine and then being like, yes, master, or anything like that?

01:17:21.000 No, it just, it's a roofie.

01:17:23.000 Like, I'm reading about it, it just makes you, like, delirious and loopy.

01:17:26.000 So you're probably just like, blah, blah, blah.

01:17:28.000 And then they're like, what's your ATM number?

01:17:30.000 And you go, blah, blah, blah.

01:17:31.000 I kind of feel like there's got to be a YouTuber that's like, today I'm going to get scopolamine.

01:17:37.000 Well, Vice, one of the very early things was like, they got some scopolamine and they were like, whoa, and they flushed it down the toilet.

01:17:42.000 They don't touch it.

01:17:43.000 I saw that one, yeah.

01:17:44.000 There was a Vice anchor that would go out and do a bunch of drugs. 1.00

01:17:47.000 Is it Hannibal?

01:17:48.000 Is that his name?

01:17:49.000 Hannibal.

01:17:49.000 No, it's Hamilton Morris.

01:17:51.000 Hamilton.

01:17:52.000 Sorry, Hamilton.

01:17:53.000 I keep saying Hannibal.

01:17:54.000 Hannibal's Pharmacopia.

01:17:56.000 Hannibal is a guy who ate people.

01:17:58.000 Hamilton's like, I'm going to do this for you.

01:18:00.000 And then he would take all these different drugs and be like, now you know what it's like for me to be on drugs.

01:18:05.000 But I mean, that's a lot of great work he did.

01:18:07.000 Wasn't his dad a famous guy?

01:18:09.000 Who was his dad?

01:18:10.000 I can't remember, but you're right.

01:18:11.000 Yeah.

01:18:12.000 I met him and he really does talk that slow.

01:18:15.000 Oh, cool.

01:18:17.000 Would you ever eat someone?

01:18:18.000 Like another person?

01:18:20.000 Like who are we talking about?

01:18:21.000 Name someone and I'll tell you.

01:18:23.000 There are those people that got in that plane crash that had to eat their friends to stay alive.

01:18:29.000 Would you do that?

01:18:30.000 No doubt.

01:18:31.000 Errol Morris.

01:18:33.000 Everyone said no, but you're lying to me.

01:18:35.000 You would eat people.

01:18:36.000 To be perfectly legit, if I had to, to survive, The answer in that situation would probably be yes.

01:18:44.000 Nope.

01:18:45.000 No.

01:18:45.000 Never.

01:18:45.000 You would have to.

01:18:46.000 No conditions you would eat another person under.

01:18:48.000 Nope.

01:18:49.000 You just let yourself die? 0.92

01:18:50.000 I got kids, man.

01:18:51.000 I just want to point out, there are people who starve for political purposes intentionally.

01:18:56.000 Like, bro, I'm pretty sure it's a choice if you want to eat another person.

01:18:59.000 But if there's no politics involved, if it's just... Well, okay, what about, are you talking about living people or dead people that are already frozen again?

01:19:06.000 My point is, there are people right now who are like, I feel so strongly about the birds.

01:19:12.000 I'm not going to eat another chicken until the birds are freed.

01:19:15.000 And then they choose to starve themselves.

01:19:17.000 So my point is... How many people actually die of that starvation, though?

01:19:21.000 Like, people who go on hunger strikes? 0.71

01:19:23.000 Yeah, that actually, like, go the whole way instead of doing it for, like, three days and then, damn, gonna go get myself some, like, expensive vegan food. 0.73

01:19:30.000 Maybe it's easy to say when I am well-fed, but I do not believe there's a circumstance where I would eat a person. 0.79

01:19:38.000 It's not survival.

01:19:39.000 You get the shakes.

01:19:40.000 You get prion diseases. 0.77

01:19:41.000 Well, don't eat the brain. 0.97

01:19:42.000 No, but you can't even guarantee it.

01:19:44.000 You eat the people. 0.85

01:19:44.000 You get the shakes. 0.85

01:19:45.000 What do you mean the shakes?

01:19:46.000 Is that a thing?

01:19:47.000 Prion disease.

01:19:48.000 From eating another person?

01:19:49.000 What is it called?

01:19:49.000 Encephalopathy or something?

01:19:51.000 Yes.

01:19:52.000 I'm not advocating eating other people here.

01:19:53.000 I'm just, you know, expanding the conversation today.

01:19:57.000 The New York Times had that article.

01:19:58.000 They were like, the time for cannibalism, maybe now.

01:20:02.000 Soylent Green, eh?

01:20:03.000 Yeah, well, they were writing about fiction.

01:20:05.000 How, like, it's become popular, cannibalism and fiction.

01:20:08.000 My response is, like, Reza Aslan ate people. 0.99

01:20:11.000 Like, he ate a person.

01:20:12.000 He got in real big trouble for that, and they broadcast it, what was it, CNN?

01:20:16.000 Yeah, he ate people.

01:20:19.000 He ate part of a person.

01:20:21.000 A piece of a brain?

01:20:22.000 I meant people in, like, the general noun, like saying cow.

01:20:25.000 You know, he ate human.

01:20:27.000 A piece of a brain is an ecosystem.

01:20:29.000 So he wouldn't get the shakes.

01:20:31.000 When you talk about someone getting the shakes, that's like... I think Reza Aslan may have a mental side effect from eating brain.

01:20:37.000 I think the dude went off. 0.98

01:20:41.000 He was this well-respected religious scholar and then at some point he just went nuts and he advocated for violence with the Covington kids and stuff.

01:20:49.000 He's posted really insane stuff about punching. 0.97

01:20:51.000 He was the one who said, punch the kid's face. 0.78

01:20:53.000 Something like that. 0.99

01:20:54.000 The kid's face is punchable.

01:20:55.000 I kind of feel like either Eating the brain did something to him, which I would not be surprised, or the social ramifications of being a cannibal destroyed him mentally.

01:21:06.000 I get that.

01:21:06.000 That's what I get out of it.

01:21:08.000 And I will always stress this because I know somebody who knew him and I said, Reza Aslan's a cannibal. 0.54

01:21:12.000 And they were like, no, he's not.

01:21:14.000 And I was like, he's a cannibal. 0.70

01:21:15.000 He ate human being.

01:21:17.000 And they were like, he ate human like one time.

01:21:20.000 And I'm like, if a dude Abuses a kid, you know what I mean? 1.00

01:21:23.000 Like, are you gonna say he's not a pedo?

01:21:24.000 And they're like, well, no.

01:21:25.000 I'm like, he ate a part of a person. 0.80

01:21:27.000 He's a cannibal. 0.90

01:21:28.000 Objectively a cannibal. 0.99

01:21:30.000 You earned that title, dude.

01:21:31.000 Great conversation. 0.67

01:21:32.000 So if someone killed somebody 35 years ago, you're a murderer.

01:21:35.000 Are they still a killer?

01:21:37.000 Yes.

01:21:37.000 Or are they no longer a killer now that they don't kill people anymore?

01:21:40.000 No, you're a killer.

01:21:41.000 I don't think it's like once you did something, you're always that thing. 0.99

01:21:45.000 So, I sometimes eat the calluses off my fingers.

01:21:48.000 I'm a guitar player.

01:21:49.000 All right. 0.99

01:21:50.000 You're a cannibal. 0.99

01:21:50.000 Am I a cannibal? 0.99

01:21:51.000 Tell me about it.

01:21:51.000 No, you're not a cannibal, dude.

01:21:54.000 You're constantly swallowing mucus from your sinus or whatever.

01:21:57.000 Or, you know, you bite your tongue and then some cells... Got it.

01:22:02.000 Ooh, wait.

01:22:03.000 Okay, so wait.

01:22:04.000 This actually brings up an interesting conversation.

01:22:06.000 Because I was thinking, okay, the person has to be dead.

01:22:09.000 And then I was like, wait, no, they don't actually have to be dead. 0.61

01:22:11.000 Because you could, like, unconsensually I could bite his arm right now and I think I'd be a cannibal, right?

01:22:17.000 But what if he consented to me eating his arm? 0.99

01:22:19.000 You're still a cannibal! 0.81

01:22:19.000 Because there's that guy in Germany who was the murderer, but he got his guy that he ate, he had him consent to it. 0.81

01:22:26.000 And then he ate him and he went to jail and they did a whole documentary on him, but the guy consented to being eaten.

01:22:32.000 Was he under duress when he consented?

01:22:33.000 I don't know.

01:22:34.000 He claims that they were lovers and that the guy loved him so much he wanted to be a part of him.

01:22:40.000 That was his claim when he did the interview.

01:22:41.000 It didn't fly in a quarter of an hour.

01:22:42.000 I love where this conversation went.

01:22:47.000 What is the guy's name?

01:22:49.000 Lydia's looking at that Grand Patron.

01:22:51.000 Is there a difference between like consensual cannibalism and cannibalism? 0.96

01:22:57.000 Are you a worse person?

01:22:59.000 In 50 years, there might be different words for those two things.

01:23:02.000 You know, I firmly believe dogs know if you have ever eaten dog.

01:23:08.000 Hmm.

01:23:09.000 Cuz I was reading something about it, how dogs, like I was reading about countries where they eat dog, and the behavior that dogs have towards people, and I'm like, if dogs can smell cancer, if dogs can smell a seizure before it happens, I'm pretty sure a dog can smell that you've eaten dog.

01:23:28.000 At least recently.

01:23:30.000 Or maybe within the past few years or something.

01:23:31.000 But like chickens don't have the sense of smell, is that why?

01:23:34.000 And cows, can they not smell as well as dogs?

01:23:36.000 Dogs have crazy smell, dude.

01:23:37.000 I think animals are closer to the spirit realm, especially dogs, and they can absolutely sense things on a level that we can't.

01:23:44.000 And things about our soul, that's why dogs will like hate certain people and love certain people.

01:23:48.000 Cats too, they can anticipate your movements.

01:23:50.000 They see things we don't see.

01:23:52.000 I read that if you eat dog, dogs will like not trust you.

01:23:55.000 You said wild horses too?

01:23:56.000 Up in Northern California, my friend's got like a thousand acres and there's wild horses all around it and he's protecting them.

01:24:05.000 And he said everybody he brings there, if you eat meat, it doesn't even have to be horse meat, if you eat meat at all, the horses won't come near you.

01:24:13.000 Interesting.

01:24:14.000 Well, I mean, you can smell it.

01:24:17.000 They say, like, when the special forces or whatever were training to go in, or I don't know which division, you have to eat local foods because you don't realize how much you smell of the food that you eat.

01:24:26.000 Interesting.

01:24:27.000 Yeah.

01:24:28.000 So the horses are probably like, dude, you eat meat I can tell.

01:24:31.000 You just went to McDonald's, right?

01:24:33.000 And then the vegans walk up and the horse is like, ah, noble vegan, I am safe around you.

01:24:38.000 As I am a vegan.

01:24:40.000 Um, okay.

01:24:40.000 I just, just for reference for the chat, because I'm sure there's so many people interested.

01:24:44.000 The guy's name was Armin Meiwes, who is the cannibal in Germany, whose victim consented.

01:24:49.000 How did they know he consented though?

01:24:52.000 Um, there was a whole documentary on it.

01:24:54.000 Okay.

01:24:55.000 There was like a contract.

01:24:56.000 Yeah.

01:24:56.000 I think it was like, they had like letters back and forth and stuff.

01:24:59.000 And they, yeah, they were.

01:25:01.000 Was he's like, I want to be in you.

01:25:02.000 Are you sure you just didn't misread that statement?

01:25:08.000 Okay, wait, wait, wait.

01:25:09.000 Myos appeared in court charged with killing and then frying and eating another man.

01:25:12.000 In one of the most extraordinary trials, the self-confessed cannibal admitted that he had met 43-year-old Berlin engineer Bernard Brandes after advertising on the internet and had chopped him up and eaten him.

01:25:23.000 So I think he put an advertisement on the internet that he wanted to eat someone and the guy responded?

01:25:29.000 What platform?

01:25:31.000 Craigslist?

01:25:31.000 This is what the internet does to people.

01:25:34.000 Like, normally a guy who wants to be eaten would never find someone who would want to eat him, but now the internet... Now there's someone for everyone.

01:25:41.000 Now you can swipe until you find the right one.

01:25:43.000 There's gonna be an app called Eater.

01:25:44.000 And it's like, I would like to be eaten, or I would like to eat, and you're like, no, I don't want to eat him.

01:25:48.000 Ooh, I'd eat her. 1.00

01:25:49.000 Oh man, eaters only.

01:25:52.000 So he was nice about it.

01:25:53.000 Brandon swallowed 20 sleeping tablets and a half a bottle of schnapps before he started.

01:25:58.000 Oh, I don't think I can read this.

01:26:00.000 He started cutting off certain parts of him first and started to fry and eat it.

01:26:04.000 And then after he was bleeding heavily, he took a bath.

01:26:07.000 He read him a Star Trek novel.

01:26:10.000 And then in the early hours of the morning, he finished off his victim, stabbing him in the neck and then kissing him.

01:26:15.000 Yeah, the way they call it victim.

01:26:17.000 I mean, if they started predisposed, like they already believe it was not consensual.

01:26:21.000 Chopped him up, put several bits of him in the freezer next to a takeaway pizza, then buried him in the garden.

01:26:26.000 I love that detail right there.

01:26:31.000 He cut him up, ate him while he was still alive, and then read him a Star Trek novel.

01:26:36.000 But here's the problem.

01:26:37.000 I mean, I'm serious about the internet stuff.

01:26:41.000 No.

01:26:41.000 Normally somebody who thought they were a giraffe would just sit there and they're quiet being like, I think I'm a giraffe.

01:26:46.000 And then they would never act upon it.

01:26:48.000 But now with the internet, they find a bunch of other people who are like, yo, I think I'm a giraffe too.

01:26:53.000 And they're like, let's have a giraffe convention.

01:26:55.000 Then they all get together walking around going, and eating leaves.

01:26:59.000 And it's, it's like, it's creating communities that normally wouldn't exist, you know?

01:27:04.000 I think humans used to be way more racist and willing to slaughter that which they hated, and we've become very accepting, for better and for worse, because we've become much more tolerant, which obviously is fantastic for a communicative society, but at the same time, How would those people survive in nature if they just want to be giraffes all day?

01:27:28.000 Who's going to do the human work? 0.91

01:27:30.000 I wonder, who would they be in a tribe?

01:27:34.000 You go back thousands of years, who would they be in a tribe?

01:27:39.000 Right?

01:27:39.000 The one who thinks they're a giraffe?

01:27:41.000 Or are they the shaman?

01:27:43.000 Do they even think that stuff back in the day?

01:27:45.000 Do you think it's just like a lazy, like, there's nothing, I'm bored with, there's no, so let's find out, let's fantasize?

01:27:52.000 It's like the kids who are like, when we achieve full communism, I'm going to work at the poetry factory.

01:27:58.000 You saw that meme where they're like, what are you going to do when communism is achieved?

01:28:01.000 And it's like, I'm going to teach people how to grow things on my farm.

01:28:04.000 And then someone went, your farm?

01:28:06.000 Yeah, they don't they don't get it.

01:28:08.000 You mentioned earlier that the people we seem to have had a story, like a group story that we're out of touch with now.

01:28:14.000 But what do you think that story is?

01:28:17.000 I mean, like, I love Charles Eisenstein's way of looking at this, and he says, like, you know, there's this old story that it's not like, you know, some emperor or some group writes it per se.

01:28:29.000 It kind of is an amalgamation of a group, an entire group, but over time it kind of

01:28:36.000 turns into an unwritten credo.

01:28:39.000 And part of it today, I would say, is that we're separate from nature, that you can do

01:28:47.000 anything you want to the environment and it doesn't come back on you, that money can be

01:28:54.000 profane and completely separate.

01:28:56.000 There's nothing sacred about, you know, any of these things.

01:28:59.000 So like, in a sense, it's kind of this isolation.

01:29:02.000 I'm this individual.

01:29:04.000 And the way Charles Eisenstein is talking about it is like, this is precisely what we need to get back to.

01:29:10.000 More of the real story that unites us being this thing where there's nothing I can do to the outside world that doesn't eventually have its consequence back at me or in future generations.

01:29:22.000 So I think those are the kinds of stories.

01:29:24.000 It's not like, you know, something that you can write down in a preamble to a constitution or something like that.

01:29:30.000 I think it's more of like the amalgamation of what people end up believing under a certain kind of rule, under a certain kind of economy.

01:29:39.000 We talked about the eight types of Greek love a couple nights ago.

01:29:42.000 You brought it up.

01:29:43.000 Agape, you actually mentioned, is the love of the community.

01:29:46.000 And I think people have fallen, maybe in the United States, out of touch with it because of this isolationist ease of like air-conditioned, you know, internal Well, you get to be separate.

01:29:56.000 You get to look at everything through a screen now, whereas back in the day, you would gauge your threat level by looking into nature, and now everyone is getting the same amygdala-teasing effect by just staring at a screen, but you're supposedly safe inside this little bubble, but you're cut off from your actual community.

01:30:17.000 We've got to figure something out, us humans, because, you know, we developed and evolved based on the natural ecosystem.

01:30:26.000 Like, the simplest thing is sugars are few and far between in nature, so when we find it, we're like, this is amazing!

01:30:32.000 Because your body uses it really quickly, and then you don't have it for a long time.

01:30:35.000 Then we refined it, now we have endless supplies of sugar pumped into our bodies, poisoning us.

01:30:41.000 These things are one of the biggest threats to everything that is to be human.

01:30:47.000 We want to better our lives.

01:30:49.000 We want to make a better future for our children.

01:30:51.000 We want to explore, develop, become smarter, and live, and be happy and healthy.

01:30:56.000 But now, it's like we've found a way to electrocute our nerve, to stimulate it, and we just got the thing cranked up to 11, and we're sitting there with movies, video games, porn, Mountain Dew, Taco Bell, chocolate ice cream, Ben & Jerry's, whatever you want to call it, and it's just massive overstimulation.

01:31:15.000 And I think it desensitizes people.

01:31:17.000 Because I'll tell you this, we've got the berry season's almost over, But I talk about wine berries all the time.

01:31:24.000 It is like, they're so delicious.

01:31:26.000 When, I don't eat sugar for the most part.

01:31:29.000 So when you get a fresh berry, you're like, whoa, it's so good.

01:31:32.000 And then it's like, I tried drinking a sweet tea and it was like drinking syrup.

01:31:36.000 I couldn't drink it.

01:31:37.000 It was disgusting. 0.99

01:31:38.000 I think people are completely desensitized to like the amount of garbage they're eating. 0.95

01:31:43.000 They're not getting the same, like this is why people are so depressed too.

01:31:46.000 Once you get everything that can maximize stimulation, there's nothing left.

01:31:51.000 So if your whole life is pure stimulation, you're at the top.

01:31:54.000 You can't go anywhere.

01:31:56.000 Eventually it just becomes baseline and you're like, life is not good.

01:31:59.000 I had breathing issues.

01:32:00.000 I don't know if it was like a panic attack or something, but I had to go to the hospital once for it because I was like having so much trouble getting air.

01:32:06.000 And I remember the doctor talking.

01:32:07.000 I felt like such a loser because he was like, there's nothing actually wrong with you.

01:32:11.000 Just how you're breathing right now is your lungs are full and you're only going You can't get anything in so you're never feeling like you're getting a full breath and that sounds like exactly what you're describing.

01:32:22.000 Like if you start at the bottom, you're always getting these full breaths every single day.

01:32:27.000 And yeah, you just don't want to constantly be hitting that peak.

01:32:30.000 How do you work out of that?

01:32:31.000 It was like I don't know if I feel like such a loser because I thought there was something like severely wrong with me But yeah, I was like an anxiety thing or something and I just had to chill for a bit I've told this story before a friend of mine who became a millionaire at the age of 16 I think he was like 16 said that in his experience every person he's ever met who became wealthy had an existential crisis for most of these people They weren't intending to become rich.

01:32:57.000 They developed something, instantly became rich, and then had accomplished their goal, and did not have to work anymore.

01:33:04.000 And so that left them sitting there depressed and aimless.

01:33:07.000 Because like, if their goal was, I'm gonna, you know, work on this computer program, and they just kept improving it over time, They'd have to keep working and paying their bills and then finding ways to make money, but for the small amount of people who solved the computer problem instantly, made 10-15 million dollars, now they don't gotta work, they're like, what is my life now?

01:33:26.000 I've already accomplished the thing that I'm good at, I have money, I don't have to work anymore, what do I spend it on?

01:33:31.000 Everyone else is too busy working, they can't, I'm just, you're outside of the system at that point.

01:33:36.000 There's an interesting thing, there's like two spiritual elements to this that I want to bring up is that one, I bet you those people would be happier if they like woke up to this wealth and then they realized everybody else is free as well.

01:33:51.000 But when you wake up and all of a sudden you're outside of this rat race where you have to like, you know, work your ass off in this dog-eat-dog world, So you wake up and you're outside of that, you don't have to work anymore, but every one of your friends, you can't solve all their problems for them, so you're watching them stuck in this machine that you were just in, and it might feel lonely outside of that. 0.94

01:34:12.000 And that's actually what they call the Bodhisattva in Buddhism and Hinduism.

01:34:18.000 Are people who reach nirvana, which is like enlightenment, pure bliss, but they're like, like, I realize I don't exist for me.

01:34:25.000 So they enter themselves back into the world of suffering so they can help other people.

01:34:30.000 And what you were saying, like, breath is a part of every single spiritual tradition.

01:34:34.000 And when you're at the top of your breath all the time, it leads to anxiety.

01:34:38.000 You know, but what does this look like?

01:34:40.000 It's like, you know, the bottom of your breath all the time.

01:34:43.000 People who they're not inhaling and getting that full inhale is more like depression.

01:34:48.000 Everything's lived in the tension.

01:34:50.000 Yeah.

01:34:51.000 Conflict is a huge part of life that makes life enjoyable.

01:34:55.000 And it's unfortunate that sometimes that conflict is war.

01:34:59.000 But you know, going back to like the first thing we're talking about, the decline of an empire, is that when the narrative of God and country wasn't working anymore, your country's falling apart.

01:35:07.000 People, a country succeeded because people were like, we are a strong country.

01:35:11.000 We believe in each other and that bond.

01:35:14.000 You lose that, there's, you know, people just conflict with each other, everything falls apart.

01:35:19.000 But, uh, let's go to Super Chats!

01:35:21.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, don't forget, check out TimCast.com, we've got a couple shows up now, uh, Tales from the Inverted World, we're about to, so we have Tales from the Inverted World, Which is the, you know, serialized long-form show, and we're going to be launching soon the Inverted World Podcast, which is Shane Cashman, the author, taking your calls.

01:35:44.000 So we want, we're going to be setting this up soon.

01:35:46.000 We'll have you submit your ghost stories, your spooky stories, your paranormal, your Bigfoot sightings, and then Shane will ask you guys about them.

01:35:54.000 So we'll schedule calls with regular people, have them phone in.

01:35:57.000 We'll do these episodes.

01:35:59.000 We'll try and do them as often as Shane is able to do them.

01:36:01.000 It might be once a week.

01:36:02.000 It's gonna be up to him, because he's also gonna be investigating this other long-form stuff for Tales from the Inverted World.

01:36:07.000 But I'm really excited for that show, because I just personally love those shows.

01:36:12.000 Like, I don't know if you guys have ever gone on a road trip and just put on the Campfire Ghost Stories shows.

01:36:16.000 Those are my favorite.

01:36:17.000 Yeah, are you... What was that old... Afraid of the... Not Afraid of the... Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark?

01:36:21.000 Yeah.

01:36:21.000 I was raised on that book.

01:36:23.000 And the audio, like the tape that came with it.

01:36:25.000 I love being on a road trip.

01:36:27.000 It's like 10 p.m., it's dark, and playing on the podcast is like a dude calling in being like, so there I was, I'm in my basement, when all of a sudden the water faucet turns on by itself.

01:36:39.000 And I'm like, whoa.

01:36:40.000 You can hear he believes it too.

01:36:42.000 I don't know what's wrong with you people.

01:36:43.000 I can't do anything horror.

01:36:45.000 My nightmares are enough for me.

01:36:46.000 Thanks.

01:36:46.000 I'm kind of with you.

01:36:47.000 I'm good on that.

01:36:48.000 Life is terrifying.

01:36:49.000 What about paranormal?

01:36:51.000 No, like I have such bad, I went, I have such bad nightmares.

01:36:54.000 Like I can't do any of that.

01:36:55.000 I get sleep paralysis.

01:36:56.000 I'm like, no, no, no.

01:36:57.000 That's just going to give my mind more creativity to torment me with.

01:37:00.000 My brother.

01:37:01.000 So we went to an antique store and we got a phone from the 1930s.

01:37:04.000 Like one of those old, like you pull the cone off the thing and put it to your operator.

01:37:08.000 And, uh, my brother turned it in- he actually built a mechanism to make it work with, like, actual Bluetooth and play sounds and everything, so we're gonna use that as, like, a main prop.

01:37:17.000 And then we have a ha- we actually have a haunted house that we're gonna be using for the set, so I'm super excited.

01:37:23.000 But let's read- let's read all your superchats!

01:37:25.000 All right, let's see.

01:37:27.000 Kefka says, so I see people want to bring back the ghost girl.

01:37:29.000 I also see it's either, uh, it's either Ian is always on or it'll be another summer of love.

01:37:35.000 I for one agree.

01:37:35.000 I don't understand what that means.

01:37:36.000 Um, Mary Morgan is the host of Pop Culture Crisis and she does frequent this show.

01:37:42.000 Uh, so you'll see her periodically.

01:37:46.000 All right, let's see.

01:37:47.000 S says, Cheez-It, if Lauren is sucking down Pappy in a paper cup, I'm bringing Mezcal in a mason jar. 1.00

01:37:54.000 That's right.

01:37:56.000 Oh, so did you put the honey in the Grand Patron?

01:37:59.000 How was it?

01:37:59.000 Is it good?

01:38:01.000 It's really strong, but yeah, it's alright.

01:38:03.000 I can make you one right now.

01:38:04.000 Make me one, please.

01:38:05.000 I'm gonna go make you one.

01:38:06.000 I do think like... Would you guys like... Not me.

01:38:09.000 I might, yeah.

01:38:10.000 Tiny, tiny... Paper cups, boys?

01:38:12.000 Oh, every day.

01:38:13.000 I'll return.

01:38:15.000 It's for the environment.

01:38:16.000 Alright, let's grab some more.

01:38:17.000 Oh no, I can't read some of these.

01:38:22.000 Araftis of Stat says, how do I audition for the part of Tim in the Castcastle series?

01:38:28.000 You don't?

01:38:29.000 I don't know.

01:38:30.000 So we are going to have in the Castcastle show real vlog elements of it.

01:38:36.000 Like Lauren was riding around on an electric motorbike or something like that.

01:38:38.000 I was.

01:38:38.000 We should have, I still think we should have vlogged whatever this thing, the NAD thing.

01:38:43.000 Oh, the NAD?

01:38:43.000 Yeah.

01:38:44.000 Um, we never really did that, I guess, for like security reasons.

01:38:47.000 We never film it.

01:38:48.000 Oh, fair enough.

01:38:49.000 Wait, I'm curious, who would you have play you?

01:38:51.000 Like what actor would you have play you in a movie about you?

01:38:53.000 I don't know.

01:38:55.000 You have no idea.

01:38:55.000 The Rock.

01:38:59.000 I have no idea.

01:39:01.000 I have no idea.

01:39:02.000 I don't know.

01:39:03.000 I imagine like there's, you know, they're going to make, they're going to make a movie.

01:39:07.000 You know how they did the Fox News bombshell movie?

01:39:10.000 Yeah.

01:39:10.000 They're going to make an indie media one, mostly about the Daily Wire, but I'll be like peripherally in it for some reason.

01:39:16.000 And then they'll get like some really awful person to play me.

01:39:19.000 Some like Weasley guy who's like, I'm Tim Pope.

01:39:21.000 Hey, come on. 0.77

01:39:21.000 Yeah. 0.77

01:39:22.000 What about that guy, Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad?

01:39:26.000 Whatever that actor's name is.

01:39:27.000 I don't know.

01:39:28.000 He's in Westworld now.

01:39:30.000 I don't know, maybe they have to get Ben Shapiro to play me because all we would have to do is be a little bit more liberal, but we both talk really fast so I think he'd be able to pull it off.

01:39:39.000 People liked fast talkers, hey, in media.

01:39:42.000 Everyone's just got a bit of ADHD.

01:39:44.000 I can't even watch my videos not on two times speed anymore.

01:39:47.000 I have to watch everything on two times speed.

01:39:50.000 Internet's making me mentally ill.

01:39:52.000 Do you edit your own videos?

01:39:53.000 Most of them, yeah.

01:39:54.000 Yeah, do you edit on double time?

01:39:58.000 If I could, I would.

01:39:59.000 That's what I do for my shows.

01:40:00.000 Really?

01:40:01.000 And I notice when I watch them at regular speed, I'm like, whoa, this sounds like I'm drunk.

01:40:06.000 Yeah, totally.

01:40:07.000 All right.

01:40:08.000 Let's read some more.

01:40:09.000 DocToxic says, finally joined TimCast.com and watched the after show.

01:40:12.000 Hearing Ian drop the F-bomb for the first time made it so worth it.

01:40:16.000 Yes. 0.99

01:40:18.000 HuronXBearcat says, everyone gives Ian too much crap. 0.95

01:40:21.000 I don't necessarily agree with him a lot of the time, but Ian brings to light more dialogue than the entire comment section. 0.99

01:40:27.000 Keep it up, Ian, you silly goose. 0.97

01:40:28.000 Thanks, dawg. 0.99

01:40:29.000 The things we don't like.

01:40:32.000 Semantic arguments.

01:40:33.000 The things we do like.

01:40:34.000 Ian has a perspective that is very much outside of the typical culture war.

01:40:38.000 And often, you know, presents things that no one on the left or right is actually addressing in a certain issue.

01:40:45.000 I like talking about semantics.

01:40:46.000 If we agree beforehand, let's discuss a word, what it means, what it used to mean, what it could mean, that kind of stuff.

01:40:52.000 But using it in the middle of a discussion is kind of underhanded.

01:40:56.000 Yeah, when it feels circular.

01:40:57.000 Thank you.

01:40:59.000 It's very strong, just look out.

01:41:01.000 Hank Hokage Hill says, why don't you use Rumble?

01:41:04.000 You promote it a lot.

01:41:05.000 It would get a lot of people to sign up and overall get more people off YouTube.

01:41:08.000 Love you guys.

01:41:09.000 I'm working on it.

01:41:10.000 We use Rumble for... We put everything on Rumble that we put everywhere else.

01:41:15.000 I don't think the full VOD version of this goes on Rumble, though, unless we have to move it over.

01:41:19.000 And the issue is... I've explained it a bit.

01:41:22.000 It's simple. 0.97

01:41:23.000 Before I mention it, I'll also read StoryManJack who says, Tim is a coward. Calls for us to quit our jobs in protest, 0.67

01:41:28.000 but jumps like an apoplectic toad when YouTube grunts. Hypocrisy much?

01:41:32.000 No. No. Um.

01:41:35.000 My point is, as it's always been, for one, I respect your opinion if you think that's the case.

01:41:40.000 I will stand by saying, YouTube is the biggest platform.

01:41:45.000 I do not think it makes sense for large and prominent personalities to retreat from the central battlefield of ideas for some principled reason.

01:41:54.000 I agree with principled reasons if it's like, you work for a company and they're doing something really bad.

01:42:00.000 And you're like, I don't want to do that thing for you.

01:42:03.000 On YouTube, we're doing the opposite of bad thing.

01:42:05.000 We are calling out bad thing, we're calling out the problems, and we're using the most powerful and prominent platform to, one, address those issues, and then also create a pathway to alternates.

01:42:17.000 We shout out The Daily Wire frequently, because I think what they're doing is equally as important, creating alternate paths.

01:42:24.000 We shout out Parallel Economy, we use them.

01:42:26.000 We use Rumble infrastructure.

01:42:28.000 My point is, When I say don't cancel your Disney or Netflix, if you really want to, go ahead, I don't expect people to abandon the establishment machine where it provides for them in certain ways.

01:42:40.000 We have to create a machine that does better.

01:42:43.000 So, simply put, When Jordan Peterson got suspended on Twitter, I said, I think he should delete the tweet and then go after Twitter on their own platform and use it to the best of his abilities.

01:42:54.000 I don't think you accomplish much by, you know, it would be like being in a battlefield, taking some casualties and then being like, all right, that's it.

01:43:03.000 We've got everybody retreat.

01:43:04.000 There's no point in being here.

01:43:06.000 Or do you pull a Mel Gibson, grab the flag and go, no, no, no, keep going, keep going, keep going.

01:43:12.000 It's not perfect.

01:43:13.000 There's no simple solutions.

01:43:14.000 If you can work at a company that's doing bad things, but you are completely able to push back and reverse that, then you shouldn't quit.

01:43:21.000 You're having a positive impact.

01:43:23.000 So this is what I think is important.

01:43:26.000 Maximizing central battlefield to the best of our abilities, so that YouTube continually promotes these conversations to regular people, and then we can create paths to a whole bunch of personalities.

01:43:37.000 To put it even more simply, You may not like that we use YouTube, but how else do we get the likes of Alex Jones and Steve Bannon in front of regular people when they've been banned?

01:43:46.000 We still have an ability for regular people to see things.

01:43:49.000 Who was it that made that super chat?

01:43:50.000 What was his name?

01:43:51.000 Or her name?

01:43:52.000 Story Man Jack.

01:43:53.000 Shout out Story Man Apopleptic Toad. 0.98

01:43:56.000 Is that the word?

01:43:57.000 The metaphor?

01:43:57.000 I like it.

01:43:58.000 That's very good, that's very good.

01:44:00.000 But I will also say, I will read your comments if you think I'm wrong, because Like, I think that's what actually makes the show good.

01:44:07.000 So feel free to throw shade my way, and I'll give you my thoughts on it.

01:44:11.000 And, uh... Far from perfect.

01:44:13.000 Battlefield Retreat's a cool conversation, because sometimes you do want to retreat from a battle, even one maybe that you're winning, because you can pull the enemy into an ambush.

01:44:21.000 Sometimes, when you start to take fire, you cannot retreat.

01:44:24.000 You have to keep pushing, otherwise your whole unit's gonna get wiped out.

01:44:28.000 I legit tried.

01:44:29.000 I hit up my ad agency and said, we want a big Times Square billboard saying Twitter protects pedophiles and they said no.

01:44:36.000 They said it can't in any way be related to that concept.

01:44:39.000 And I was like, okay, well, we'll figure something else out.

01:44:43.000 I would have, cause I would have loved to do that.

01:44:45.000 That's the kind of thing that, that I want, I want to, I want to buck the system using, I want, I want to be in their faces.

01:44:51.000 I want people in Times Square to see us next to Coca-Cola.

01:44:54.000 That's the point.

01:44:55.000 We are telling them you are not the elites anymore.

01:44:58.000 We are displacing them, and we are doing what we can to make that a reality. 1.00

01:45:01.000 I just want to say one thing about that.

01:45:02.000 That's like, you know, using the system to buck the system rather than trying to recreate an alternative system to buck that system.

01:45:12.000 It's a little bit of both.

01:45:13.000 And well, yeah, but I mean, like still using the tool there.

01:45:18.000 It's like taking the thing apart from the inside, which is how any nation or anything else kind of collapses.

01:45:23.000 It's usually not just outer forces.

01:45:26.000 You use the mechanism itself.

01:45:31.000 I just think, um, it is, it is a complicated culture war.

01:45:37.000 It is.

01:45:37.000 Yeah, it's like if you armed a slave rebellion with weapons from the very empire it's rebelling against, you know, they still, they're empirical weapons, but the slaves will use them to overthrow the empire.

01:45:47.000 I just think, you know, I, I have to wonder, you know, it's like, there's a lot of people who want us all to work for free.

01:45:54.000 And I'm like, it's a weird concept to have people who identify as like capitalists to be like, but you should give me free stuff.

01:46:01.000 You know what I mean?

01:46:01.000 Like, we do, most of the stuff we make is free.

01:46:04.000 Yeah, but it requires energy and time.

01:46:05.000 That's not free.

01:46:07.000 So it's a free product for the person.

01:46:09.000 Most, like, anybody can watch this show completely for free.

01:46:12.000 You know what I mean?

01:46:13.000 As long as they have an internet connection, yeah.

01:46:15.000 Well, yeah, I mean, like, we are not charging people to watch this live show.

01:46:19.000 This is, yeah, this is a problem I've run into.

01:46:20.000 I put every single one of my documentaries I've done out for free, but then every time I want to make a new documentary, it's always, I have to It takes forever to try to fund again.

01:46:29.000 It's a whole challenge, and I don't know if I can make another one next time.

01:46:33.000 So, yeah, being able to fund your work makes it continually possible, but you have to charge something.

01:46:39.000 There's something we pointed out in the membership yesterday that I think is important for people to understand as well.

01:46:42.000 Right now, we have about 32,000 concurrent viewers, and we are streaming at 6,200 kilobits per second.

01:46:50.000 Multiply that by 32,000, and that's how much kilobits is going down.

01:46:56.000 That bandwidth cost is insane.

01:47:00.000 YouTube's giving that to us for free.

01:47:01.000 This is what people need to understand.

01:47:03.000 We would not be able to do this show without free service.

01:47:07.000 Rumble does offer free service, but my thing is, can we build up Rumble's audience by telling people on YouTube about Rumble, or do we just stop informing the largest platform?

01:47:19.000 There's no simple answer.

01:47:20.000 Not everyone's gonna be happy, I guess.

01:47:22.000 Let's read some more.

01:47:25.000 All right, Razio says, I swore myself never to do another Super Chat to save money, but this is important.

01:47:31.000 Tim, Lydia, I implore you to get Michael Yan on the show.

01:47:35.000 He was on JBP's podcast.

01:47:36.000 He went into detail of what's in store this fall.

01:47:39.000 A caveat, one billion deaths by 2025.

01:47:42.000 Uh-oh.

01:47:43.000 Stuart just inhaled a little bit of, uh... It's a bit strong.

01:47:47.000 It's a little strong.

01:47:49.000 It's good for your brachial tract.

01:47:51.000 He inhaled the fancy drink Lauren made.

01:47:53.000 It's gonna slowly work it out of your vocal cords now.

01:47:57.000 I feel better.

01:47:57.000 Aspiration.

01:47:58.000 I felt like doing that the first sip I took, too.

01:48:00.000 It's funny that they call it aspiration when you breathe in liquids, but they also call being in spot... No, aspiration is like a thing you can have.

01:48:08.000 Aspirational, yeah.

01:48:10.000 Aspergers.

01:48:13.000 Triton says, I am now a believer in Tim's fifth generational warfare hypothesis.

01:48:17.000 It's obvious that the CCP is attempting to win the hearts and minds of 75 million Americans.

01:48:21.000 Long live Chicken Ian.

01:48:23.000 You guys saw the Wikipedia change in the definition of recession?

01:48:25.000 No.

01:48:26.000 I didn't see what they changed.

01:48:27.000 It wasn't that Wikipedia did it, it's that there was an edit battle between people over what recession was, and then some higher ranking Wikipedia person locked it so you couldn't change it anymore.

01:48:38.000 That is the fifth generational warfare. 0.73

01:48:40.000 That there's a there's a battle over reality.

01:48:43.000 And they're changing definitions.

01:48:45.000 Literally Miriam Webster changed the definition of female to be the opposite of male. 0.58

01:48:49.000 Like it's not even a definition.

01:48:51.000 Or true.

01:48:52.000 Yeah, if there's no definition of male, then what is the opposite of male mean?

01:48:57.000 Yeah, what?

01:48:57.000 We need to tell Matt Walsh to make What Is A Man.

01:48:59.000 I think that- Is it not- Okay, I think it's kind of obvious that there is a recession happening right now, and it doesn't- You don't have to wait to be told?

01:49:07.000 Like, just live your life accordingly?

01:49:08.000 Is that- But Pelosi doesn't agree.

01:49:11.000 Oh, she doesn't?

01:49:11.000 No.

01:49:11.000 Okay.

01:49:12.000 You know what, man?

01:49:13.000 You know what man?

01:49:25.000 Like I think if anybody spent one day trying to run this company they would be like you're

01:49:31.000 You should quit.

01:49:31.000 This is nuts.

01:49:31.000 Why would you do this?

01:49:33.000 Like, I don't think people understand what it takes to make all of this possible.

01:49:37.000 And so, you know, look, I'll read your comments and I'll read your criticisms.

01:49:41.000 I respect that.

01:49:42.000 But I think the challenge is people don't see what it's like to, you know, wake up at 7am and work until midnight, Monday through Friday.

01:49:53.000 And then on weekends, that's when I get to go to the bank and file paperwork and drop off checks.

01:49:57.000 So it's just like...

01:50:00.000 It's, it's, it's, it's... Sometimes, you know, what's the point?

01:50:04.000 Is the question, right?

01:50:06.000 If you're gonna get this many people who are like, you should be giving us the content for free, you shouldn't expect us to pay for it, you're bending the knee, we don't respect your strategies, and I'm just like, then why am I fighting for you?

01:50:16.000 Yeah, I mean, anytime you get criticisms like, hey, this person that I'm not lifting a finger to be involved with is doing something I don't like, like, okay, do it then, dude.

01:50:24.000 But the reality is- Complainer.

01:50:26.000 Like, do it yourself.

01:50:27.000 Obviously, there are far fewer haters than there are people who support the work we're doing.

01:50:32.000 For sure.

01:50:32.000 And I wonder what a high energy guest would be.

01:50:35.000 We're not doing enough jumping jacks.

01:50:38.000 They're not talking about you on my last night.

01:50:40.000 I could tell you thought they're talking about you.

01:50:42.000 And we took it personally.

01:50:45.000 I was about to start doing calisthenics.

01:50:47.000 Do you want to fight?

01:50:50.000 Arm wrestling?

01:50:52.000 All right, let's see.

01:50:53.000 Let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:50:57.000 L says, Lauren, I watched The Whole Truth and I was honestly blown away.

01:51:00.000 My question to you is, if you can stay out of the hot seat, could there be more about the stars of the right that you interacted with that you'll put out?

01:51:08.000 The Whole Truth wasn't about, like, exposing people's, like, personal problems, or this person did that drug, or this person slept with that hooker.

01:51:15.000 It was literally just about the situations I encountered that kind of led me to be black-pilled about politics, and then realizing it wasn't really about this whole movement, realizing You know, people are flawed and you can't put your faith in man.

01:51:29.000 You can't put it in these other people.

01:51:30.000 You have to put it in the ideas.

01:51:32.000 You have to put it in God, something bigger than yourself.

01:51:34.000 So it's just kind of my political journey.

01:51:35.000 It wasn't about exposing the stars of the right.

01:51:39.000 That just was something that were experiences I had.

01:51:42.000 So I don't want it to be about who were the good guys and the bad guys.

01:51:45.000 Everyone loves a bit of juicy gossip, of course, but that wasn't the point of the video.

01:51:48.000 But I'm glad you liked it.

01:51:49.000 I appreciate that. 0.54

01:51:51.000 Also, one thing I've always made a point of is Tim, I didn't talk about you in The Whole Truth at all, because you were just a damn hard worker the whole time.

01:51:58.000 Like you were just saying, you worked freaking harder than anyone I knew during that 2016 to now period.

01:52:05.000 You're one of the few people- okay, simping too hard, but yeah, I think you earned it all.

01:52:09.000 I think you did.

01:52:09.000 I don't- I don't know, I mean like whenever there was like a big story, we like- I'm going to cover the same story you were going to cover.

01:52:18.000 There was a similar beat.

01:52:19.000 But I don't think when it came to working, I think the reason you had stuff to talk about with other people is that you worked with them.

01:52:24.000 We never really... Yeah, we were in the same area.

01:52:27.000 I was talking about this.

01:52:28.000 When your whole job is traveling the world and you're like 20, it's hard to make a community.

01:52:33.000 So you just kind of have these people that you brush shoulders with that are in the same area all the time.

01:52:38.000 It's like, oh, there was a riot.

01:52:39.000 I'm going to go there and then you're there.

01:52:40.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:52:41.000 But yeah, I definitely was more working with this kind of dissident right that existed.

01:52:46.000 And you kind of escaped a lot of that drama because you were doing your own thing.

01:52:49.000 You truly were independent of these movements at that time.

01:52:53.000 We got the quartering.

01:52:54.000 He says, thanks for faking the issue last night so I could grift like a maniac.

01:52:58.000 And thanks to your viewers who tuned in.

01:53:00.000 Everything is back to normal now.

01:53:02.000 Sips delicious nondescript drink.

01:53:04.000 Jeremy!

01:53:05.000 We have an event coming up that we're planning in Austin and we should definitely get a bunch of Coffee Brand Coffee to serve at the event.

01:53:13.000 That would be really great.

01:53:14.000 Please send me some to the house or something because I want to drink it.

01:53:18.000 We should figure something out so it's like all of the attendees.

01:53:21.000 So I'm not going to say too much because I don't want to generate a hot seat for anybody.

01:53:26.000 But there's someone I know who's got like a burger shop in Austin.

01:53:29.000 We're going to have them provide the burgers if possible.

01:53:32.000 And then we're planning a live IRL event.

01:53:35.000 When is it?

01:53:36.000 Wait, did you say there's a barbecue?

01:53:37.000 because we're still planning. But the idea is we would do the

01:53:41.000 show on stage live for an extended period. The speakers would be rotating guests who would come in for about like

01:53:48.000 an hour and then leave and then we would do like a really long

01:53:51.000 show for like five hours.

01:53:52.000 So we'll have coffee on stage.

01:53:53.000 Barbecue?

01:53:54.000 And then no, the idea is to bring in like give everyone burgers.

01:53:57.000 Okay.

01:53:57.000 Because it's not gonna be a long event.

01:53:58.000 If there's burgers.

01:54:00.000 Yeah.

01:54:01.000 And then we could have coffee brand coffee there.

01:54:03.000 Are there coffee brand coffee Keurig pods yet?

01:54:05.000 Make them.

01:54:06.000 You know what we should do?

01:54:07.000 We should get Kregler coffee and coffee brand coffee.

01:54:10.000 And then, you know, people can choose which one they prefer.

01:54:12.000 Oh my gosh, we'll set up a few Keurigs on the stage.

01:54:15.000 Maybe get a coffee pot in case you want to brew some fresh beans.

01:54:18.000 A French press.

01:54:19.000 Yeah.

01:54:20.000 You know what I love in Brazil?

01:54:21.000 They have these things, the pão de queijo.

01:54:23.000 You ever have those?

01:54:24.000 Yeah.

01:54:24.000 That's so good.

01:54:25.000 Yeah, cheesy bread.

01:54:27.000 Yeah, it's like bread with cheese in it.

01:54:29.000 They bake it.

01:54:30.000 So it's like the bread has cheese in it.

01:54:34.000 Like, it's not like the bread you open and you can see cheese.

01:54:37.000 No, like the cheese is part of the flour.

01:54:39.000 That's nice.

01:54:40.000 My wife tried to redo it with phyllo dough.

01:54:43.000 It's a weird recipe too, the way they make it.

01:54:45.000 It's phyllo dough.

01:54:46.000 Phyllo dough is kind of like croissants.

01:54:48.000 It comes apart in flakes.

01:54:50.000 Oh yeah.

01:54:51.000 I'm loving all of the super chats about bucko.

01:54:55.000 He was like sitting on my lap.

01:54:56.000 He's still out there.

01:54:57.000 We gave him the boot.

01:54:58.000 He's right outside the door waiting.

01:54:59.000 Are you sure?

01:55:00.000 Yeah, he was when I went out there.

01:55:02.000 Curled up.

01:55:02.000 He wanted to come in here.

01:55:03.000 I mean, he wants to be on the show now.

01:55:06.000 I think he really liked it.

01:55:06.000 He came in here during the member-only episode once and everybody loved him so much.

01:55:09.000 He's probably like, ooh, this is nice.

01:55:10.000 We've been bonding.

01:55:11.000 He's like, I don't know what's going on here, but everyone keeps loving me.

01:55:14.000 David Setliff says, treats for the Bucko cast IRL.

01:55:19.000 Bucko, you're a superstar.

01:55:20.000 That's right.

01:55:21.000 That's right.

01:55:23.000 All right, let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:55:26.000 A lot of people pointing out states can't deport people.

01:55:28.000 We have Lgalucard, or L-G-A-L-U-C-A-R-D, says states can't deport people, only feds can. 0.91

01:55:36.000 Convincing Reality says, Tim, immigration is a federal issue.

01:55:38.000 States cannot deport people out of the country.

01:55:40.000 This is 100% the right move.

01:55:42.000 But can the feds give the states the authority?

01:55:44.000 I agree.

01:55:44.000 Like deputize them?

01:55:45.000 Well, I don't know.

01:55:47.000 But if they can't, then I stand corrected and it is the right move to send them to DC and New York.

01:55:52.000 Like, let them deal with the issue.

01:55:54.000 The only problem is they're not going to deport anybody.

01:55:56.000 They're just like, okay, fine.

01:55:58.000 Well, it's almost better keeping them in states where you're going to have judges that are, you know, not going to be so biased towards progressivism.

01:56:04.000 What if they sent them to Alaska, but then the bus got lost?

01:56:07.000 Halfway up through Canada.

01:56:09.000 Uh-oh! 0.98

01:56:10.000 That would suck.

01:56:11.000 It's like, hey, get on this bus to DC and the driver's going like, whoops, I accidentally turned towards Mexico.

01:56:18.000 All right, Liam Madden says, Vermont's very close election means your support makes a huge difference to elect Congress's first anti-two-party pro-Second Amendment, economically populist USMC vet who led USA's largest anti-war organization of Iraq vets.

01:56:32.000 Check out Liam Madden.

01:56:35.000 Learn more at rebirthdemocracy.com.

01:56:38.000 Good luck, man.

01:56:40.000 I'm hearing that they're saying New Hampshire might go Democrat for the Senate, and I'm like, that's crazy to me.

01:56:45.000 All those freestaters up there in Vermont would go Democrat?

01:56:48.000 You got people with flamethrowers up there.

01:56:50.000 They're gonna vote to ban their own flamethrowers?

01:56:53.000 Alright, so there's just not enough freestaters in New Hampshire, man.

01:56:58.000 Okay, let's see.

01:57:01.000 Grab some Super Chits.

01:57:04.000 Linda Tarleton says, first live and first day as a Timcast member.

01:57:08.000 What is it?

01:57:08.000 It's a sham?

01:57:10.000 S-A-H-M for IRL?

01:57:13.000 What is that?

01:57:13.000 I don't know what it is.

01:57:13.000 But thank you for being a member.

01:57:17.000 All right, let's see.

01:57:20.000 That's a fair point.

01:57:20.000 Like, he's like, She!

01:57:21.000 It's Joe Biden!

01:57:22.000 And then she's like, starts talking.

01:57:24.000 I have many things to say to you, Joe.

01:57:25.000 But you said that Biden had a two hour long conversation with China.

01:57:28.000 How are we supposed to believe he was cognizant for that long?

01:57:32.000 That's a fair point.

01:57:33.000 Like, he's like, she, it's Joe Biden.

01:57:36.000 And then she is like, starts talking.

01:57:38.000 I have many things to say to you, Joe.

01:57:39.000 And then just like, and then she just talks for two hours yelling at Biden.

01:57:44.000 And then like, finally, I was like, oh yeah, okay.

01:57:49.000 I don't think Biden was cognizant.

01:57:50.000 Do you see that video where it's like, every sentence, it's cut?

01:57:55.000 I swear that's a deep fake.

01:57:57.000 Did you see it yet?

01:57:58.000 No, I didn't.

01:57:59.000 Have you seen it?

01:58:00.000 Honestly, every Biden.

01:58:01.000 I haven't watched a Biden video that isn't, you know, atrocious to this point.

01:58:05.000 So like, everyone keeps coming out with all these articles.

01:58:07.000 They're like, oh, look how funny Biden is being.

01:58:10.000 And I'm like, Okay.

01:58:11.000 Like that's a Tuesday?

01:58:12.000 We're still laughing at this?

01:58:14.000 There's this 15 second video of like four or five different four second clips or something like that.

01:58:19.000 And his eyes are really round and like black and they don't blink or move.

01:58:24.000 And his voice sounds deep.

01:58:26.000 It just seems like a deep fake.

01:58:28.000 Benny Johnson posted something where there's two Bidens.

01:58:31.000 One buggy eyed Biden and the other one's sleepy Joe.

01:58:35.000 I think the buggy eyed is a clip from that video.

01:58:38.000 I think they just pre-recorded some of them, you know what I mean?

01:58:40.000 Like early in the morning with his morning voice.

01:58:42.000 I think the Camela ones are funnier, where she's like repeatedly going over the exact same concept.

01:58:48.000 What was the... The predictive text generator?

01:58:50.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:58:51.000 She just keeps saying the same thing over and over again in different creative ways.

01:58:54.000 And I'm like, holy, you're bad at this, Camela.

01:58:57.000 And you're supposed to be the competent one.

01:58:59.000 Bad at it.

01:59:00.000 I mean, it seems to be working to a certain degree.

01:59:01.000 They're 30-something percent approval rating.

01:59:03.000 Keep them confused.

01:59:04.000 Keep them running in circles.

01:59:05.000 Man, she is AI.

01:59:06.000 All right.

01:59:07.000 Chrome Leader says, as a Texan, I agree that what our governor is doing is not the best tactic, but our hands have been tied.

01:59:13.000 At this point, it's malicious compliance.

01:59:15.000 Fair point.

01:59:16.000 Fair point.

01:59:18.000 All right.

01:59:20.000 The KL Tanker says, Congress should have to pass a test on the bill.

01:59:26.000 Get a 85% or better, then they can vote on it.

01:59:30.000 You know, it is a good idea, but the problem is, I think the system has become too cumbersome.

01:59:36.000 The issue is, when you had 35,000 people per district, they could go in and actually argue over a bill.

01:59:43.000 Now it's 700 and what, 75,000 people per district?

01:59:47.000 And it's just people screaming at each other, totally disparate cultures.

01:59:52.000 No agreeing on anything.

01:59:52.000 The more I think about that, like if I can fail a math test in grade five and get held back a year,

01:59:58.000 you should be able to fail the most important job in the country if you can't pass a test on what

02:00:04.000 you do. Come on. Yeah, I'm fully an advocate of hitting with a felony if they don't, but like,

02:00:11.000 how do you guarantee they read the bill?

02:00:14.000 I don't know.

02:00:14.000 Yeah, just like a really quick quiz.

02:00:16.000 I've always thought about this for voting too, like a really quick quiz that's just like, hey, what is a Democrat and Republican?

02:00:22.000 Even just like an ABCD test.

02:00:25.000 What are the candidates on your ballot that you're voting for?

02:00:29.000 And you just you put a few fake ones in there that are like Mr. Magoo or whatever and if someone guesses that their vote doesn't count because they don't even know who the hell they're voting for!

02:00:37.000 What are you talking about for voters?

02:00:39.000 Both! 0.92

02:00:39.000 Our politicians and voters. 0.92

02:00:41.000 Like there are so many things we could do to improve the system.

02:00:43.000 I understand how it would be like... 1.00

02:00:46.000 I mean, you're denying the right to vote for idiots, but... I'm in favor of that. 1.00

02:00:52.000 Let's read some more.

02:00:53.000 We got manifested destiny says Tim, please give a shout out to Eastern, Kentucky

02:00:56.000 The floods have currently killed 20 people and it's expected to rise

02:00:59.000 Appalachian people had very little and they lost what they had they need help. Yeah, man

02:01:05.000 Sad to hear it.

02:01:05.000 This is brutal stuff.

02:01:06.000 Floods are serious.

02:01:07.000 And additionally, Las Vegas.

02:01:10.000 Now, this is crazy.

02:01:11.000 Vegas flooding?

02:01:12.000 That freaked me out.

02:01:13.000 Like, it's a desert!

02:01:14.000 You think there's, like, conspiracy to change the weather and screw other countries over by flooding them?

02:01:19.000 Conspiracy!

02:01:20.000 There is a group of people screaming that the climate is changing.

02:01:23.000 Harp, I'm talking like.

02:01:25.000 What is cloud seeding?

02:01:27.000 Is that what they call it?

02:01:28.000 Where they can actually like change the weather a bit?

02:01:30.000 Cloud seeding's real.

02:01:31.000 Yeah.

02:01:33.000 Or not even, they use lasers now.

02:01:34.000 Yeah.

02:01:35.000 Wilhelm Reich was working on that in what, the forties, fifties?

02:01:38.000 Oh my gosh.

02:01:39.000 That's 80 year old technology.

02:01:40.000 Yeah, for sure.

02:01:42.000 I think it's so cool that we could, like, attack other countries with hurricanes.

02:01:46.000 Yeah, I hear... that's what people are telling me, is that you can move hurricanes with... I'm gonna read this one from CJDN.

02:01:51.000 He says, Tim, your moral compass is on point and your head is on straight.

02:01:54.000 I don't know about your guests, though.

02:01:56.000 Well, they're doing all right.

02:01:58.000 But I was like, I did read some disparaging comments about me.

02:02:00.000 I don't want to only be disparaging.

02:02:02.000 Someone, you know, gave me a...

02:02:04.000 I don't think they're talking about you guys, by the way.

02:02:06.000 I could be wrong.

02:02:07.000 No, they're talking about me.

02:02:08.000 I know.

02:02:09.000 Well, this is important.

02:02:10.000 Sarah M says, will of the people is on my repeat playlist.

02:02:14.000 Perfect song.

02:02:14.000 Would love to hear a cover of the Mariners revenge song.

02:02:17.000 I feel like you would do it.

02:02:18.000 Well, we have like 30% of a music video done.

02:02:22.000 The song we're going to be releasing first is called only ever wanted.

02:02:27.000 And it is Carter, our music producer just hit this one.

02:02:33.000 It's a home run for sure.

02:02:35.000 I was shocked when I heard it, because I write songs like, typically write on acoustic guitar, and it's like folk, rock, acoustic, and then he took it.

02:02:42.000 The song is weirdly mostly backwards, like the instrumentation, and he made this really amazing song.

02:02:48.000 So we're gonna be releasing that, um, then we've got a couple other songs we're gonna be releasing as well.

02:02:52.000 We should have an album coming out August 21st.

02:02:55.000 I think it will have eight or nine songs on it.

02:02:57.000 We do have like 30 or 40 in the pipeline, but in this day and age, I don't know if that makes sense anymore.

02:03:03.000 Releasing albums?

02:03:04.000 We were actually thinking of just like putting out singles when they were ready, and then I was like, well, maybe we'll do that anyway.

02:03:10.000 But, um, we're gonna have, uh, Only Ever Wanted out really soon.

02:03:14.000 I think maybe even in like Could be in a week or two.

02:03:17.000 No, it's gonna be, I think, in, like, two or three weeks.

02:03:19.000 Because we're finishing the music video, uh, not this weekend, but the next weekend.

02:03:23.000 And so that's gonna be really cool.

02:03:24.000 I like the idea of doing a song every time it's ready, and then when the ninth song is done, you release an album with all nine songs on it.

02:03:31.000 We could do that.

02:03:32.000 I was just gonna say what some music groups are doing is they'll record, they'll release like six or seven singles and then have a little grace period and then an album with like 10 or 11 songs.

02:03:44.000 New ones?

02:03:47.000 Yeah, well, I mean, 10 or 11 songs, including that original six.

02:03:51.000 So you put out the ones as they're coming out, and then you release a full album with a few more extra songs.

02:03:56.000 Yeah, Tool took like 17 years to put out their newest album.

02:03:59.000 Same with The Perfect Circle.

02:04:00.000 Uh-oh, I gotta read this one.

02:04:03.000 We read the Liam Madden Super Chat.

02:04:05.000 Someone responded.

02:04:06.000 Exactly says, the Liam Madden guy supports red flag laws, abortion, and expanded gun control.

02:04:13.000 Vermonters, please don't vote for him.

02:04:14.000 Ooh, it's getting spicy in the Super Chat.

02:04:16.000 All right, last one from Iris with a... I will give you a preliminary.

02:04:22.000 Congratulations.

02:04:23.000 Iris, as I found out today, I'm pregnant with my first child.

02:04:25.000 Long-time listener and member.

02:04:27.000 Love the show.

02:04:28.000 Congratulations!

02:04:30.000 And thank you for the shout-out, and good luck.

02:04:32.000 Best of luck.

02:04:34.000 We'll get one more here.

02:04:35.000 Simo Lebit says, put out a song every week.

02:04:38.000 That's what Russ did, and he said it launched his career.

02:04:41.000 Well, it takes longer to finish the songs.

02:04:43.000 We could finish a bunch of songs and then put out one every week.

02:04:47.000 But we're also, like, filming music videos for them.

02:04:49.000 We... We're changing the strategy a bit, I suppose.

02:04:54.000 I was talking about how we had this big plan for a bunch of the songs that was gonna follow Will of the People.

02:05:00.000 And for a variety of reasons, we decided to...

02:05:04.000 Pick different songs which have different themes and different styles, I guess.

02:05:08.000 But, uh, there's one song I'm really excited for that I think act- I'm wondering.

02:05:12.000 So, Only Ever Wanted.

02:05:15.000 We've, like, showed it to people.

02:05:16.000 And they've all just been like, wow, this is the best song ever.

02:05:19.000 And I'm, like, probably assuming they're just blowing smoke and they're just saying that.

02:05:22.000 But I think it's good.

02:05:23.000 I personally like it.

02:05:24.000 And it's very different from my normal style of songs.

02:05:27.000 But the song we have, Genocide, I think might actually end up getting more play because it's political.

02:05:34.000 And so in this day and age, like Tom MacDonald for instance, Like, when you hear his lyrics, that means something to you.

02:05:41.000 People love it.

02:05:42.000 So, Only Ever Wanted is just, like, a typical song.

02:05:46.000 But, um, the song we have, Genocide, is actually directly about, like, media manipulation, conflict, and stuff like that.

02:05:55.000 So, I imagine people will hear the lyrics to that one and probably get into it more.

02:05:58.000 We'll see.
