Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - COVID Lab Leak Essentially CONFIRMED By US GOV, FAUCI LIED PEOPLE DIED w-Fenix Ammo

00:00:00.000 So, you know that lab leak story that COVID came from a lab.

00:00:24.000 Apparently it's true. 0.88

00:00:25.000 U.S.

00:00:25.000 Department of Energy says basically that is the most likely case.

00:00:30.000 Though they're saying it was with low confidence it seems.

00:00:33.000 COVID likely leaked from a lab in China.

00:00:33.000 Yeah.

00:00:35.000 Now I suppose the question is why are they now admitting it in the government?

00:00:39.000 And perhaps it could be, I don't know, Cass's belly?

00:00:42.000 The U.S.

00:00:43.000 just had a spy balloon fly overhead.

00:00:45.000 There may be a conflict with China coming, and the U.S.

00:00:47.000 now wants to gear up public support for why there may be a war, and it actually is quite perfect.

00:00:51.000 I think the reality is, Dr. Fauci gave funding to an organization, which then did gain-of-function research at the virus factory in Wuhan.

00:00:59.000 That's what Seamus Coghlan called it.

00:01:00.000 It was a good joke, Seamus.

00:01:02.000 The virus factory.

00:01:03.000 And then they didn't want to admit it.

00:01:05.000 But we'll see, we don't know.

00:01:06.000 Woody Harrelson, however, on Saturday Night Live, he made a really funny joke about how Big Pharma, no, I'm sorry, he didn't say that, he said the cartels, bought up all the meat and all the politicians and locked everyone in their homes, and they could only leave if they did the cartels' drugs over and over and over again.

00:01:19.000 He's getting a lot of heat for that.

00:01:21.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:01:22.000 I guess it's an interesting day.

00:01:25.000 And Scott Adams is apparently getting cancelled from everything.

00:01:28.000 Dilbert, his comic, is being cancelled because he was commenting on a poll from Rasmussen that said 26% of black people who were polled Disagreed with the statement, it's okay to be white, and then he commented on that saying, you should stay away from these people, among other things.

00:01:44.000 But we'll get into the details of what he said and get specific with it, because I'm sure people on all sides are offended by what's happening.

00:01:53.000 Before we get started, my friends, head over to TimCast.com.

00:01:57.000 Click the Join Us button and become a member, because we're going to have a members-only show coming up around 10, 10 p.m.

00:02:03.000 tonight, so when this show wraps up live, it goes from 8 to 10, we then set up the live members-only portion at TimCast.com, which will then get archived and be available for you to watch whenever you want, but...

00:02:15.000 Now you can also watch live.

00:02:16.000 Plus we got a bunch of other really awesome stuff.

00:02:18.000 The new show that we launched last Friday, The Culture War with Tim Pool.

00:02:23.000 First episode got like 150,000 hits, which is pretty big for your average podcast.

00:02:28.000 It's on YouTube though, so maybe you'd expect a little bit more.

00:02:31.000 We've got a bunch of really great guests that are coming up.

00:02:33.000 They're not all political.

00:02:34.000 We've got a musician coming.

00:02:35.000 We've got a tech guy the next week after that.

00:02:40.000 I'm sorry, not a tech guy.

00:02:42.000 We have a very prominent cultural figure that I don't want to say who until we get absolute confirmation, but it's going to be really, really interesting.

00:02:49.000 So check out that at youtube.com slash Timcast, where I had a conversation for a couple hours with Ollie London, who at one point, he's a British man, was a transgender Korean woman.

00:02:59.000 And then he de-transitioned, he talks about his identity issues.

00:03:02.000 You can check out The Culture War with Tim Pool on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.

00:03:06.000 But smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends.

00:03:10.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Justin from Phoenix Ammo.

00:03:15.000 Thanks for having me.

00:03:16.000 Yeah, who are you?

00:03:17.000 What do you do?

00:03:18.000 My name is Justin.

00:03:19.000 I'm the CEO of Phoenix Ammunition in Novi.

00:03:22.000 We're a family-owned ammunition manufacturing company.

00:03:26.000 We're the self-appointed voice of the militia industrial complex, as we like to call ourselves.

00:03:33.000 Not the military-industrial complex.

00:03:35.000 We sell 100% of our products to retail consumers.

00:03:41.000 No government, no police, no contracts like that.

00:03:44.000 And no Biden voters, right?

00:03:46.000 That's right, no Biden voters.

00:03:47.000 No, but literally you banned Biden voters.

00:03:49.000 Yeah, we did that.

00:03:50.000 We had a disclaimer on our website for about a year and a half that we didn't want to sell to people who voted to ban guns and ban our way to do business.

00:04:00.000 Yeah, from our hands to yours, we're the farm-to-table version of the ammo industry, and that's who we are.

00:04:05.000 Right on, and we can probably eventually talk about the pistol brace ban that's going into effect, because actually, a lot of people, if you're not into guns, you're not concerned about this, the crazy thing about this story is, to put it simply, a federal agency has just enacted, or is about to enact a law, without Congress, where they will jail you by decree.

00:04:26.000 And that's, I guess, the scary version of the story.

00:04:29.000 But we'll get into all those details.

00:04:30.000 So, Justin, thanks for hanging out.

00:04:31.000 Yeah.

00:04:31.000 We got Hannah-Claire Brimelow hanging out.

00:04:33.000 Hi, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimelow.

00:04:34.000 I'm a writer for TimCastOff.com.

00:04:36.000 Can't talk today.

00:04:37.000 Farm-to-Table Ammo is hilarious.

00:04:40.000 You should follow at TimCastNews on Twitter and Instagram.

00:04:42.000 Thanks for having me.

00:04:43.000 You guys grow your own black powder.

00:04:45.000 Yeah, what do you do? 0.98

00:04:46.000 Do you scrape the bat crap off or whatever? 0.99

00:04:49.000 But that's black powder. 0.99

00:04:50.000 Yeah, black powder is different.

00:04:52.000 Unfortunately, we wish we could make our own, but we're still sort of beholden to the suppliers.

00:04:57.000 It's very different.

00:04:58.000 It's smokeless powder these days. 0.99

00:04:59.000 Yeah, black powder was bat crap. 0.99

00:05:01.000 Planting bullets in a field. 0.98

00:05:04.000 Maybe they can pull the carbon out of the air.

00:05:06.000 That's how they get made.

00:05:06.000 Yes.

00:05:07.000 No, they used to, they used to, it was bat crap, right? 0.97

00:05:09.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:05:10.000 That's crazy. 1.00

00:05:12.000 If I take this bat crap, I can make it, I can shoot somebody. 1.00

00:05:15.000 That's crazy. 1.00

00:05:16.000 Americans are so innovative.

00:05:17.000 I love it.

00:05:18.000 Great.

00:05:18.000 All kinds of people are innovative.

00:05:21.000 Were they like, the mines were blowing up?

00:05:23.000 They're like, why are they blowing up? 0.99

00:05:24.000 It's the bat crap. 0.97

00:05:25.000 And then they found out that stuff's explosive. 0.99

00:05:27.000 Oh, that makes sense.

00:05:28.000 Bats were all in caves, crapping everywhere, building up ammonia and nitrogen.

00:05:30.000 Yeah, could be.

00:05:31.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:05:31.000 Watch out for that crap. 1.00

00:05:32.000 Well, let's talk about that, I guess. 1.00

00:05:33.000 Yeah, let's go deep.

00:05:33.000 We got Serge pressing the buttons.

00:05:35.000 Yo guys, I got a new mixture here, so I'm gonna be EQ'ing everyone as we go.

00:05:38.000 Let's roll.

00:05:40.000 Here's the story from the New York Times.

00:05:42.000 Lab leak most likely caused pandemic, Energy Department says.

00:05:46.000 The conclusion, which was made with low confidence, came as America's intelligence agencies remained divided on the origins of the coronavirus.

00:05:52.000 I love they have this picture of the virus factory in Wuhan.

00:05:55.000 The Wuhan-eth. 1.00

00:05:56.000 Seamus Coghlan tweeted, remember when a virus emerged in the city next to the virus factory and they told you you were crazy for claiming that the virus may have come from the city with the virus factory?

00:06:07.000 Seems crazy indeed.

00:06:09.000 Real quick, just to show you a couple things to begin this conversation.

00:06:13.000 I'm not saying I trust the government, okay?

00:06:14.000 The DOE is saying this is most likely, and I'm like, I agree.

00:06:17.000 It's just one agency saying it's probably the case, and it probably is the case.

00:06:21.000 But I want to show you these archives.

00:06:23.000 Take you back in time.

00:06:24.000 You want to read that one, Ian?

00:06:25.000 It says, Tom Cotton keeps repeating a coronavirus conspiracy theory that was already debunked.

00:06:30.000 The Washington Post reported this February of 2020.

00:06:32.000 They said, Senator Tom Cotton repeated a fringe theory suggesting that the ongoing spread of the coronavirus is connected to research in the disease-ravaged epicenter of Wuhan, China.

00:06:43.000 Cotton referenced a laboratory in the city, the Wuhan National Biosafety Lab, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:06:49.000 So, uh, about that.

00:06:54.000 Oh, he should.

00:06:54.000 should, the New York Times. Senator Tom Cotton repeats fringe theory of coronavirus origins.

00:06:58.000 In an interview on Fox News, the Arkansas lawmaker raised the unsubstantiated possibility

00:07:04.000 that the new coronavirus originated in a high-security biochemical lab in China. And the New York 0.92

00:07:09.000 Times, February 17th, 2020, called it a fringe theory. And today, or so this is a couple

00:07:17.000 days ago, this is 26, yesterday, lab leak most likely caused pandemic. 1.00

00:07:21.000 What's it called when you say a bunch of stupid things and then have to, New York Times and the Washington Post have edited those articles to remove their stupidity from them? 0.98

00:07:33.000 Because, uh, yeah, everybody's basically saying, well, uh, the virus probably escaped the place that make coronaviruses. 0.99

00:07:40.000 I remember seeing this on Tucker Carlson right around that time.

00:07:44.000 It was either the same day he made that statement or the day after, and thinking to myself, this makes the most sense.

00:07:49.000 There's a lab there.

00:07:50.000 People don't really understand how many leaks occur at biosafety labs even here in the United States.

00:07:56.000 I mean, that's how people believe.

00:08:00.000 What's the disease?

00:08:02.000 Lyme disease.

00:08:03.000 Yeah.

00:08:03.000 A lot of people think Lyme disease was the product of a BSL lab leak that's on an island off the coast of New York.

00:08:10.000 There's one in Canton.

00:08:10.000 I mean, that was a big thing for a while.

00:08:12.000 They were building one in Fort Detrick.

00:08:15.000 You don't get to make all these movies where the scientist gets pricked through their suit and they go, Oh God, and they run out and then have people think these labs are completely safe.

00:08:25.000 Yeah, Lyme disease was found near Lyme, Connecticut.

00:08:27.000 Right.

00:08:28.000 And that's why they call it Lyme disease.

00:08:29.000 They don't know exactly where, why.

00:08:31.000 I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

00:08:32.000 I've heard the same thing that it was done on an island.

00:08:34.000 Like a biomedical experiment.

00:08:35.000 I just like the idea that the federal government's like, but that only happens in movies.

00:08:38.000 Movies are based completely on fiction.

00:08:40.000 We would never do anything like it.

00:08:42.000 Yeah, even this announcement, it still says, we have concluded, meaning it is done, that it might have happened over there.

00:08:48.000 We don't know.

00:08:49.000 It's the ultimate soft launch of a, like, explanation, right?

00:08:53.000 You know, some girls, like, soft launch their boyfriends on Instagram. 0.96

00:08:55.000 The government is soft launching that they're admitting it was from the lab.

00:08:58.000 AB testing.

00:08:59.000 We're low confidence.

00:09:00.000 We're not sure, but we've done all of our research and we're basically pretty sure.

00:09:05.000 What's the likelihood that this is a casus belli for war with China?

00:09:09.000 Yeah, this is definitely an opening for a war, for sure.

00:09:13.000 If they needed one.

00:09:14.000 Well, right.

00:09:14.000 So think of it this way.

00:09:16.000 If China invades Taiwan, how does the United States get the American people to publicly support a war with China?

00:09:23.000 Blame all of COVID on them.

00:09:25.000 Exactly.

00:09:26.000 Remember that your parents who died?

00:09:29.000 It was China. 0.82

00:09:30.000 Yeah, we just found that out.

00:09:31.000 And then people are going to be screaming in the polls and the media will come out and they'll march in lockstep.

00:09:36.000 But, uh, sure enough, you're still going to get... Actually, this is interesting.

00:09:40.000 Let me walk... I was going to say something different.

00:09:41.000 I'm going to walk it back a little bit.

00:09:42.000 I'm curious.

00:09:43.000 Would conservatives remain anti-war?

00:09:47.000 If the U.S.

00:09:48.000 government came out definitively across the board and said, we have direct evidence that they were breaking international law with gain-of-function research and they caused the global pandemic.

00:09:58.000 I think so because a lot of people know that Fauci was working with EcoHealth Alliance to do the research.

00:10:03.000 So it wasn't just the Chinese.

00:10:05.000 A lot of people are aware that Anthony Fauci and probably U.S.

00:10:07.000 government was involved as well.

00:10:09.000 So I think that that will be a loud noise being made and statement that's repeated like Fauci was involved in this.

00:10:16.000 And so what I'm asking Yeah, see, actually, I think it's the opposite, Ian.

00:10:27.000 I think that's the reason that conservatives wouldn't support it, because, like, for me personally, I would say, well, why are we going to war with China until Fauci is put on trial?

00:10:37.000 And until everybody in the United States that had any part in this is dealt with, then we can talk about China.

00:10:45.000 But only until that happens.

00:10:46.000 That's what I meant.

00:10:46.000 I think it would be hard to sell that going to war would do anything at this point, right?

00:10:51.000 Like we're going to send more people to die after putting them through everything we have

00:10:55.000 the past three years. It was more and maybe this is just a very rudimentary understanding of it.

00:10:59.000 You know, it's not like we'll take a chunk of land from China and then we'll be like,

00:11:03.000 and that solves everything for COVID, right? Like I could see issuing tons of economic sanctions.

00:11:08.000 I could see breaking trade partnerships, but actually going to battle with them.

00:11:12.000 I actually feel like if you just said it's about Taiwan, there are more Americans who'd be like, okay, sounds good.

00:11:17.000 Then if you said COVID.

00:11:18.000 Yeah, that's why I brought up the people knowing that Fauci was involved in financing and working on the stuff through EcoHealth.

00:11:24.000 People would not want to go to war because they know that Fauci was involved. 0.98

00:11:27.000 So that would be like, I'm not going to to buy the crap. You can't pin this on China. We know that 0.99

00:11:31.000 there were American scientists involved in building this thing. At least for evidence

00:11:34.000 points to that. Well, there were Fauci provided funding to EcoHealth who then provided

00:11:39.000 funding to Wuhan's lab or whatever.

00:11:41.000 We pay you to pay him to pay him to do it for me. It's virus laundering or something.

00:11:46.000 I think really what this is is just the long tail set up for their plan for the 2024 election.

00:11:52.000 And I was thinking about this a year and a half ago, where especially if Trump runs again, they're going to put COVID and the vaccines and all of it on Trump.

00:12:04.000 That's what I think.

00:12:05.000 I think they're going to say, Hey, he left Fauci in office.

00:12:09.000 He pushed the vaccine through too quickly because he wanted to puff his chest up and show how good he was and look at all these people that died as a result of Trump's ego.

00:12:21.000 So it's all his fault.

00:12:22.000 It's going to be just like, you know, projection is their only tool.

00:12:27.000 What if they come out and they say, we have now confirmed Wuhan was doing a legal gain-of-function research with the assistance of Anthony Fauci through circuitous funding, and thus, we will be filing subpoenas and criminal referrals for Anthony Fauci, and then said, after they arrest him, we are going to go to war with China.

00:12:47.000 So let's say, let me put it this way.

00:12:48.000 China invades Taiwan.

00:12:50.000 I don't know.

00:12:51.000 I gotta be honest with you.

00:12:51.000 We're going to defend our allies in the region, but we can't be directly involved with China.

00:12:55.000 Oh, whoa.

00:12:56.000 China leaked the virus on purpose and caused all this damage. 1.00

00:12:59.000 And hey, what's that?

00:13:00.000 Fauci was involved.

00:13:01.000 Fauci, you're under arrest.

00:13:02.000 Hey, guys, can we go to war now?

00:13:04.000 I don't know.

00:13:05.000 I got to be honest with you.

00:13:06.000 I think conservative I mean, I wouldn't really describe myself as a conservative particularly,

00:13:10.000 but I think I think the sort of war hawk side of the party is is getting smaller and smaller.

00:13:18.000 I mean, with everything going on in Ukraine and...

00:13:22.000 I really can't see a huge number of people, especially China.

00:13:31.000 Two world superpowers.

00:13:33.000 It feels like another endless war, right?

00:13:36.000 Yeah.

00:13:36.000 Didn't we just get out of the Middle East in some respect?

00:13:39.000 And we're already spending more money in Ukraine than we spent in Afghanistan.

00:13:42.000 I just can't, you know, it's so, there's so much media now that, you know, these, the days of like the Gulf of Tongan and these things where they can stage an event.

00:13:52.000 and they can get people riled up and they've got this like dead zone

00:13:56.000 before the truth really comes out and then you get momentum going and people

00:14:00.000 are so afraid to go back on what they said you know they're like it's like the

00:14:05.000 sunk cost fallacy i just think that that time is coming to an end these days i

00:14:09.000 think everything's on video i think the u.s i don't i don't know maybe they're

00:14:14.000 just realizing they can't keep lying about this because any sane person john

00:14:18.000 Jon Stewart goes on Colbert's show and says this makes the most sense.

00:14:22.000 But I'm wondering, I guess I should put it this way, my prediction would be in the event the U.S.

00:14:27.000 does want to go to war, China invades Taiwan, the U.S.

00:14:30.000 comes out and says, oh heavens, oh the lab leak, that was China's fault. 0.93

00:14:34.000 The majority of the MAGA side of people.

00:14:38.000 Which includes some libertarians and independents.

00:14:39.000 They all say, no war.

00:14:42.000 And then your McCarthy's and your McConnell's, your Lindsey Graham's are just like, everybody was ragging on China just 10 minutes ago and we can't allow this.

00:14:50.000 You can't change your mind and act like they're the good guys.

00:14:52.000 And then the Democrats are going to come out and be like, China's always been the bad guy. 0.55

00:14:55.000 What are you guys talking about?

00:14:56.000 Conservatives, you're such, you're always defending Xi Jinping.

00:14:59.000 Hillary Clinton's like, I loved Vladimir Putin all of these years!

00:15:02.000 Well no, they'll still hate Russia, but they're gonna come out and be like, why won't you support our wars? 0.91

00:15:07.000 And then every journalist, every news outlet's gonna come out, every poll's gonna be like, we surveyed 5 billion people and found that 95% want war with China, so if you don't agree, you're a weirdo!

00:15:17.000 And then you're gonna get a bunch of normie people in cities being like, oh yeah, okay, I guess, World War III or whatever.

00:15:23.000 I bet if they, that if they were to be like, and by the way, Anthony Fauci is involved, something, something, Anthony Fauci would be like, and by the way, I have documents of Barack Obama being involved, Bill Clinton being involved.

00:15:35.000 I have evidence of the Clinton Foundation being involved.

00:15:38.000 Fauci is the nexus of this stuff and he knows everybody that's working on this.

00:15:42.000 I mean, he's, he's very specifically NIH, but it would be funny if just like some guy no one ever heard of shows up and then he just starts putting out all this evidence on all of these people.

00:15:52.000 And it's like, The government's actually run by someone like some shadow government no one ever heard of?

00:15:57.000 Like an Epstein-level guy?

00:15:58.000 I mean, because the reality is that there's probably some big corporate lobbyists, shout out to Woody Harrelson, he's talking about these cartels, there's probably some big corporate lobbyists that you've never heard of, BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard, whatever, who come to these people, these politicians, tell them what they need in exchange for funding, and you've never heard of these people.

00:16:18.000 Yeah, and they'll send someone to talk to the politician so the politician doesn't even know who the people are.

00:16:23.000 So it's not even like shadow government conspiracy level stuff.

00:16:26.000 It's like we know these big investment firms exist.

00:16:28.000 We don't know who's doing the principal lobbying.

00:16:31.000 But the politicians do.

00:16:34.000 They know who's coming to them and telling them, like, look, we need this bill passed.

00:16:38.000 Otherwise, your PAC's not getting a hundred million dollars.

00:16:40.000 And they're like, but if I don't get that, I don't, I don't win.

00:16:43.000 You're right.

00:16:44.000 So better get the bill passed.

00:16:45.000 And they go, you got it, boss.

00:16:47.000 Oh, they're already, those guys already investing in Ukraine, BlackRock.

00:16:51.000 Oh yeah, that's what I heard.

00:16:52.000 What an opportunity it is.

00:16:53.000 And think about the war debt Ukraine's going to have.

00:16:57.000 This war is actually, it's more like the U.S.

00:17:00.000 is conquering Ukraine.

00:17:01.000 All the money being given to Ukraine will justify the U.S. 0.87

00:17:04.000 owning the whole thing, or I should say Europe and NATO owning the whole thing.

00:17:07.000 Because in the event that Russia loses, Vladimir Zelensky is going to be like, yay, freedom! 0.59

00:17:13.000 Now don't forget, you owe BlackRock $100 billion, and you will never pay it back.

00:17:18.000 Well, just like China has the Belt and Road Initiative, right, where they're subsidizing the building of infrastructure in third world countries, especially in Africa, they're paying for the cell towers and the freeways, and that's because they can get the data from the cell towers in particular.

00:17:35.000 Yeah, they want them to be beholden, and I think that's sort of what we do is we go in and destroy everything first, and then we rebuild it in the way that we think we want to, in the way that benefits our investors and these big capital firms.

00:17:49.000 So, you know, we're fine to watch Ukraine get shelled into oblivion. 1.00

00:17:53.000 which is what's happening, right? I mean, uh... Because not only do they have the $100 billion

00:17:57.000 in debt already, but after the war ends, our firms, or I shouldn't say our, but international

00:18:01.000 firms come in and say, okay, now you're going to rack up another $500 billion in debt as we

00:18:05.000 rebuild your country for you. Yeah. And we will own you forever. They don't, they don't, they're

00:18:08.000 not going to have the infrastructure left at the end. So the fact of the matter is, they can't

00:18:13.000 rebuild their country without concrete plants and, you know, steel, uh, fiber optics, all these things

00:18:18.000 that they're not going to have the capability to make so we can go in there and do it for them and

00:18:23.000 And that's really the profit motivation for those companies.

00:18:27.000 Build a smart grid to track and database the people.

00:18:29.000 Yeah, a smart grid, right.

00:18:30.000 We've got to upgrade it.

00:18:31.000 Everything's going to be Wi-Fi, wireless now.

00:18:35.000 You know, it used to be that the U.S.

00:18:37.000 would invade a foreign piece of land and liberate it.

00:18:40.000 At least in one instance, the Spanish- American War at the end of the 1800s.

00:18:45.000 They went into Cuba, the Americans, and they liberated Cuba from the Spanish Empire.

00:18:49.000 And Cuba became its own thing. 0.90

00:18:50.000 The U.S.

00:18:51.000 didn't even want it.

00:18:51.000 They weren't like, pay us back.

00:18:53.000 As far as I know, they didn't want to extort them or anything.

00:18:56.000 So Cuba was free.

00:18:57.000 And then Cuba became communist and very dangerous for the Americans.

00:19:00.000 So we've kind of- We should invade.

00:19:01.000 invade is what you're saying.

00:19:02.000 I'm wondering, like, when we do go in to liberate, is it better that we leave Americans there 1.00

00:19:06.000 to control it, or do we actually just let them be totally free?

00:19:10.000 Because freedom isn't free.

00:19:11.000 We have freedom in the United States because we have dudes with guns pointing them at all 1.00

00:19:13.000 the bad guys and forcing this area to maintain the semblance of what we have defined as freedom.

00:19:19.000 Maybe we should, like, invade these countries and then put our troops there for 20 years 0.99

00:19:25.000 and then build military bases all around.

00:19:27.000 30 years.

00:19:28.000 30 years.

00:19:29.000 That doesn't work either.

00:19:30.000 I mean, not really.

00:19:31.000 South Korea seems to be working.

00:19:33.000 Puerto Rico?

00:19:33.000 Did we do that in Puerto Rico?

00:19:34.000 What we should do is invade the country and then hand an AR-15 to every single citizen and say, now you guys are on your own.

00:19:45.000 I don't know, man.

00:19:45.000 You've got a fair fight with the government now.

00:19:47.000 You have what we have, which is the only thing that has kept our country from being different from the rest of the world.

00:19:52.000 I disagree.

00:19:53.000 So we're going to liberate you by—we are going to install the Second Amendment, the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, and then we're going to leave you to your devices.

00:20:02.000 I don't think it'll work.

00:20:02.000 I don't think it'll work either.

00:20:03.000 You don't think so?

00:20:04.000 Nope.

00:20:04.000 The American colonies had moral structures and Shared culture.

00:20:08.000 Shared culture, moral foundations, and classical liberal principles, they were shared among the Founding Fathers.

00:20:16.000 So they were kind of like, leave me alone.

00:20:18.000 Fair.

00:20:19.000 And that worked.

00:20:20.000 You go to a place where it's like authoritarian religious fanatics and give them a bunch of guns, then you're going to get 15 different sects just shooting each other nonstop for 50 years.

00:20:29.000 I'm not saying we should go there and change things.

00:20:31.000 I'm saying cultures need to develop and get to that point.

00:20:34.000 There's perhaps diplomacy that we could employ that might help Doesn't exist though without the second amendment.

00:20:39.000 That's the problem.

00:20:39.000 violence and increase prosperity but I don't think guns. A First Amendment

00:20:44.000 probably. Give people the right to speak freely, share ideas and you might-

00:20:47.000 It doesn't exist though without the Second Amendment. That's the problem. I mean I think that's-

00:20:51.000 No that's a good point. Yep. We want them to be able to speak freely but then the

00:20:54.000 government comes to beat the crap out of them. Yeah. I think it's hard to accept 0.84

00:20:58.000 that if we were to go into a different country and say you guys are free to

00:21:01.000 decide what you want that they may install a system that number one

00:21:05.000 Like, do we go back then and fix it?

00:21:07.000 And also they may pick a system that we don't like, right?

00:21:10.000 Like, if communism is what ultimately Cuba decided would work, I'm not saying it did, but that was what came out on top when they were allowed to pick, you know, I would not, if I were, you know, John Kennedy or whatever, I would not want to be like, ah, yes, Cuba, you just have your communism and hang out over here while we have democracy. 0.51

00:21:28.000 But on the other hand, do you just keep going in and saying like, no, you have to do it our way.

00:21:32.000 You have to do it our way.

00:21:33.000 You have to do it our way.

00:21:34.000 Especially like we were saying before, if there are countries that are dominated by cultural or religious pressures that are so dissimilar to what we were founded on, like we don't have the same kind of basic needs that other, other civilizations do.

00:21:47.000 I was talking to Ali London on the Culture War podcast with Tim Pool.

00:21:52.000 Check it out on Apple and Spotify at youtube.com slash timcast.

00:21:55.000 One of the interesting things he said to me, shameless plug, was that in Korea they all get surgery to look like European people.

00:22:01.000 Like they'll get their chins shaved down and they'll get their noses, 0.80

00:22:06.000 they'll get nose implants to make their noses bigger. 0.98

00:22:07.000 And they'll get their eyes made to be wider with surgery so they can look like white people. 1.00

00:22:12.000 And it's a normal thing for all of them.

00:22:14.000 We thought it was like, we talk about how crazy it is

00:22:16.000 that a British guy would wanna get surgery to look Korean.

00:22:19.000 But to him, he said he was living in Korea, that was normal.

00:22:22.000 Everybody was there was getting surgery to look like the specific thing.

00:22:26.000 So he was trying to look like they were.

00:22:28.000 I don't think the US occupying South Korea, whatever you call it, whatever you want,

00:22:34.000 has necessarily been good for them.

00:22:36.000 But certainly it's been better than if it was North Korea that, you know, the communists that took over. 0.78

00:22:41.000 So I don't know.

00:22:42.000 It's like they went the complete other direction, but it's still better.

00:22:46.000 I guess.

00:22:47.000 It's tough to talk with confidence about life in Korea because I've never been.

00:22:50.000 But from Yunmi Park's first-hand perspective, she's a North Korean defector, I guess you call it.

00:22:55.000 She was able to escape the country because you can't leave freely.

00:22:58.000 I believe that North Korea is absolutely one of the biggest pieces of hell on earth of any nation.

00:23:04.000 Well, in South Korea, yes, there are Western beauty standards that become a part of culture.

00:23:11.000 But on the other hand, like America has never generated anything like the K-pop industry, right? 0.81

00:23:16.000 Producing K-pop stars who then go through plastic surgeries to look American, like, we- we didn't- we never mastered- like, Korean culture is still strong, and it has some interpretations of Western influence, but I would never say that it's lost its culture to a Western identity.

00:23:31.000 I went to, uh, a shopping area in Seoul, and they had this advertisement for, like, Chicago pizza, and then one of the pizza varieties was black squid ink, and I'm just like, we don't- we don't have that in Chicago.

00:23:43.000 But, you know, it's- it's tourist stuff.

00:23:44.000 What?

00:23:44.000 No way!

00:23:45.000 Yeah, it's like, I went to Thailand and I went to get Pad Thai.

00:23:49.000 And I was like, I want squid.

00:23:51.000 And then my Thai friend started laughing at me.

00:23:52.000 And he was like, bro, it just means like shrimp and noodles.

00:23:54.000 Like you're asking for shrimp and noodles.

00:23:56.000 But like, imagine ordering a cheeseburger, but with chicken.

00:23:59.000 Just order a chicken sandwich.

00:24:00.000 And I'm like, in America, we have like Americanized Thai food, you know what I mean?

00:24:04.000 So he's like, you want to go get real Thai food?

00:24:06.000 And then he brought me to an actual restaurant.

00:24:08.000 And we sit down and you know what real Thai food is?

00:24:11.000 It was steamed chicken and rice.

00:24:13.000 I was in Brazil and I was like, I want real Brazilian food.

00:24:15.000 He's like, all right, we got steak and rice.

00:24:16.000 Yeah.

00:24:17.000 There's like nothing complicated about it.

00:24:19.000 Like people around the world typically eat a lot of the similar things, different spices, depending on the area.

00:24:23.000 But in America, we dump sugar, fat and oil on everything, spice it a certain way.

00:24:28.000 And we're like, if there's like brown sugar, vinegar, ginger, it's Chinese. 0.97

00:24:32.000 If it's curry, it's Indian. 0.99

00:24:34.000 But in reality, it's like, not really.

00:24:36.000 I think a lot of the Indian food was invented in Britain anyway.

00:24:39.000 There's a really interesting documentary about the spread of Kung Pao chicken and how that

00:24:44.000 was developed and especially as you came to America and you had these Chinese restaurants,

00:24:50.000 there were a couple really high-end culinary experiences, but a lot of them were considered

00:24:54.000 sort of cheap or convenient meals and they spread throughout the US and they had to come

00:24:58.000 up with a dish that was palatable to Americans that they would eat but also wasn't so complicated

00:25:03.000 that they would not want to eat it.

00:25:05.000 It's similar to the man who founded Taco Bell.

00:25:12.000 He grew up in California and he grew up wanting to have a hamburger stand.

00:25:15.000 He was like a kid in the depression and then he went to war and then he came back and was

00:25:18.000 like there are hamburger stands everywhere so I got to do something else and there was

00:25:21.000 a Mexican influence in the area he grew up in and so he was like I'll make tacos, but

00:25:26.000 I'll make them with flour tortillas and with lettuce and basically like made it the most

00:25:30.000 simple.

00:25:32.000 It gets compared to a hamburger.

00:25:33.000 It's not really a traditional Mexican taco, but at the same time, it's something that people will eat and they recognize flavor.

00:25:40.000 It's not too intimidating.

00:25:41.000 I'm pretty sure when they introduced Taco Bell to Mexico, they called it American food.

00:25:45.000 Yeah, I'm sure.

00:25:46.000 It didn't work.

00:25:46.000 Nobody wanted to eat that.

00:25:48.000 Well, here's the thing, too.

00:25:49.000 When you go to a Mexican restaurant, you're actually going to a Tex-Mex restaurant.

00:25:54.000 I'm sure people have been to real Mexican restaurants, but real Mexican restaurants like fajitas.

00:25:58.000 Like chicken and veggies and rice.

00:26:00.000 The burrito taco stuff, that's Tex-Mex.

00:26:02.000 Like burritos, too.

00:26:03.000 And like queso.

00:26:04.000 Like queso is a Tex-Mex specialty.

00:26:05.000 Yeah, stuff like that.

00:26:06.000 Flour tortillas are rough.

00:26:07.000 I've gone corn, basically.

00:26:08.000 Corn's better.

00:26:09.000 I think corn's better.

00:26:10.000 Let's stop talking about the foods of the world and go back to the news.

00:26:13.000 So we'll get back to COVID.

00:26:14.000 We have the story from the Washington Post.

00:26:18.000 I love how we were just ragging on the Washington Post, and now we're going to rag on them again!

00:26:22.000 On Saturday Night Live, Woody Harrelson pushes popular COVID-19 conspiracy theory.

00:26:27.000 The actor worked in a joke during his monologue that repeated a pandemic plot favored by vaccination opponents.

00:26:33.000 Notice how she didn't say exactly in the headline what he said.

00:26:38.000 Because what he really, and I don't think they even actually show it.

00:26:40.000 Is it even in the first three paragraphs?

00:26:40.000 Oh, here it is. Yeah, he says, do they have the quote? He says,

00:26:44.000 in a monologue filled with references to his abiding use of marijuana, the actor who went on...

00:26:49.000 I mean, that's hilarious just right there because like the left is the, has always historically

00:26:54.000 been like the pro pot side.

00:26:56.000 And now they're like, it's crazy.

00:26:56.000 But now they're using it as a cudgel to beat him with only because he's not saying what he wants.

00:27:00.000 Here's what he said.

00:27:02.000 He read a script where the biggest drug cartels in the world get together to buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the world to stay locked in their homes.

00:27:10.000 And people can only come out if they take the cartels' drugs and keep taking them over and over.

00:27:15.000 I threw the script away!

00:27:16.000 I mean, who's gonna believe that crazy idea?

00:27:20.000 Being forced to do drugs?

00:27:21.000 I do that voluntarily all day long!

00:27:24.000 And so that was his joke, and the live audience offered scattered laughter, but viewers at home had much more visceral reactions.

00:27:32.000 What I love is, it's like, there's like a paradox in this article.

00:27:36.000 They're being... The media is being made fun of for calling this an anti-vax conspiracy.

00:27:40.000 It's like, well, hold on there a minute.

00:27:42.000 Big Pharma literally lobbies the government.

00:27:43.000 That's not a dispute.

00:27:44.000 They go to politicians and they say... More than any other industry.

00:27:47.000 Yeah, they're massive.

00:27:48.000 They made $100 billion.

00:27:49.000 They had guaranteed no liability contracts.

00:27:52.000 And we've all seen the video, brought to you by Pfizer, brought to you by Pfizer, brought to you by Pfizer.

00:27:57.000 They brought us everything cool this year.

00:27:58.000 They're buying ads like crazy!

00:28:00.000 They buy ads like crazy, they sell products, they lobby politicians.

00:28:03.000 Woody Harrelson wasn't saying any kind of conspiracy theory.

00:28:06.000 He was making a joke about... every joke has its truth.

00:28:09.000 Big pharmaceutical corporations lobbied government and the media to try and convince people to take their drugs.

00:28:15.000 It's a product, they got no liability contracts, made a lot of money off it.

00:28:18.000 Now they're calling Woody Harrelson a conspiracy theorist, but I'm not here to talk about the negative.

00:28:23.000 And I don't want to sit here and just rag on media like we always do.

00:28:28.000 I want to praise Woody Harrelson and say, hey look man, people are pushing back.

00:28:32.000 This is a mainstream celebrity hosting SNL, talking about we should not let massive multinational corporations dictate what we can or can't do.

00:28:41.000 That seemed to be the message, right?

00:28:46.000 I just think it's funny that they're like, you're a conspiracy theorist, like, if you weren't, if this wasn't a direct comparison to what you were doing, you wouldn't be so threatened by it.

00:28:55.000 Like, if you weren't doing something shifty, don't freak out, right?

00:28:58.000 I just think his monologue First off, like, it wasn't the funniest monologue in all of SNL history.

00:29:05.000 It's just that he came close to a subject that makes them uncomfortable.

00:29:09.000 Yeah, he touched the third rail in it.

00:29:10.000 And then everyone lined up exactly like you thought they would.

00:29:13.000 Like, the Washington Post, everyone else is like conspiracy theorists.

00:29:16.000 Maybe because he was saying people were locked in their homes.

00:29:19.000 In the United States, I'd have never heard of anyone being locked in.

00:29:22.000 There were in China, I heard they were being welded into their homes, so locked in. 1.00

00:29:25.000 Yeah, China was way more severe.

00:29:26.000 I think Australia were sending people to camps where they couldn't leave their front porch, so locked in in that instance.

00:29:32.000 But they're locked in in some respects because you couldn't go to school, you weren't allowed to go to the city.

00:29:37.000 Functionally locked.

00:29:37.000 Functionally, you couldn't go anywhere.

00:29:39.000 You weren't allowed to go to parks.

00:29:40.000 They filled in the sand pits at the skate parks.

00:29:42.000 You know what I mean?

00:29:44.000 They took away anything that would be worth leaving your house for.

00:29:47.000 But I like how in Australia they went to indigenous areas and neighborhoods and literally kidnapped children and then brought them to camps.

00:29:58.000 And then there was one viral story where some teenagers jumped the fence and escaped and ran for it, and they got hunted down.

00:30:03.000 And they got picked up at a bar they were hanging out at that night.

00:30:05.000 And I'm like, these are concentration camps.

00:30:07.000 And then people like Claire Lehman of Quillette were like, no, no, it's not.

00:30:11.000 The government taking people and concentrating them in one area without charge or trial is not a concentration camp. 0.99

00:30:16.000 Stop being so silly. 0.98

00:30:16.000 It's for their own good. 0.98

00:30:17.000 Stop the spread. 1.00

00:30:18.000 And I'm like, yo, the government's rounding up indigenous Australians and putting them in camps. 1.00

00:30:22.000 And they're like, but because of COVID.

00:30:23.000 And I'm like, I didn't say not because of COVID.

00:30:25.000 I just said they're doing it.

00:30:26.000 I think that Woody making this joke and talking about this publicly on one of the most popular television shows on earth and being one of the most popular actors on earth, alongside with the government's acknowledgement that it was made in a laboratory, most likely, or You know, they've concluded that it was probably done in the lab.

00:30:42.000 Low confidence.

00:30:42.000 I think it's all happening at once, and it's great.

00:30:44.000 Can I just, uh, I wanted to say something, because, you know, I have this here Coca-Cola in a glass bottle that I just drank before the show.

00:30:50.000 And I don't drink a lot of soda, if at all, if, you know, ever.

00:30:53.000 But we do have guests who do like soda.

00:30:55.000 And so, you know, I don't want to get cans.

00:30:57.000 Cans are okay.

00:30:58.000 Or bottles, plastic bottles.

00:31:00.000 Get out of here.

00:31:00.000 So we got glass bottle Coke.

00:31:03.000 With real sugar, real cane sugar, and of course everyone knows this is the famous Mexican Coca-Cola.

00:31:08.000 And I was just drinking this and I thought to myself, that's kind of crazy that in Mexico you will get a glass bottle, no phthalates, no PCBs, no endocrine disruptors, made with cane sugar, no high fructose corn syrup, and it's probably cheaper in Mexico in terms of buying power.

00:31:24.000 So, in terms of the Mexican economy, how much you have to work to get a Coke is probably less work than in the United States, but in the U.S. 0.72

00:31:30.000 you're getting plastic garbage with endocrine disruptors and high fructose corn syrup. 0.78

00:31:35.000 Isn't that just weird? 0.98

00:31:37.000 Like, in the United States, we are poisoning and degrading ourselves.

00:31:40.000 Like, why?

00:31:41.000 I don't know.

00:31:41.000 By choice.

00:31:43.000 I think we're the only country that mandates fluoride in the water, if I'm not mistaken.

00:31:47.000 I don't know, but the only country?

00:31:50.000 If we're not the only, it's very few.

00:31:53.000 I was going to say this earlier too, just to give people some perspective.

00:31:57.000 No, everybody does it.

00:31:59.000 Are you sure?

00:31:59.000 I thought Europe, well I know you can't in Europe.

00:32:02.000 Most European countries it's not mandated.

00:32:04.000 A bunch of the UN countries?

00:32:06.000 I think the dark red ones are mandated.

00:32:09.000 And then the other ones are like, I don't know.

00:32:12.000 We're one of the only.

00:32:14.000 What was that South American country?

00:32:16.000 It doesn't explain what the different shades mean, but.

00:32:19.000 What is that country?

00:32:20.000 Which one where?

00:32:20.000 South America.

00:32:21.000 This?

00:32:21.000 Yeah.

00:32:22.000 Is that Venezuela?

00:32:22.000 Is that Colombia?

00:32:23.000 I think that's Colombia, is it?

00:32:25.000 Bolivia and Colombia.

00:32:26.000 I'm sorry.

00:32:26.000 That's so sad that I don't know that.

00:32:27.000 I think Colombia and Bolivia are in the middle, but let's just check.

00:32:31.000 Who knows?

00:32:31.000 Somebody knows in the chat.

00:32:32.000 What were you saying?

00:32:33.000 I was going to say, just for perspective so people understand, in 2022, the pharmaceutical industry spent $284 million on lobbying, right?

00:32:42.000 So to give some comparison, my opponents on the anti-gun side of the table always talk about how much money that the gun lobby spends.

00:32:52.000 It was less than $14 million.

00:32:55.000 So $280 something million, pharmaceutical industry.

00:32:59.000 Versus less than 14. Maybe we're here. Maybe we need to get it so that you get your the vaccines are delivered by gunshot

00:33:07.000 Less lethal plastic and it'll be like a pepper ball of some sort

00:33:14.000 I mean, wasn't that, that was X-Men, right?

00:33:17.000 Was it?

00:33:17.000 Oh yeah, they had the cure, they would shoot it with a trench dart.

00:33:22.000 Maybe that's the roundabout way you do it.

00:33:23.000 You have the Republicans pass a law saying that vaccines can only be delivered by a dart of some sort fired from a gun.

00:33:31.000 Then you get the pharmaceutical lobby being like, don't ban guns!

00:33:35.000 Don't ban them! 0.51

00:33:36.000 We love those, they're necessary.

00:33:39.000 But then they're going to be like, you pull up to a 7-Eleven parking lot and the doctor goes, don't move, hits you in the arm, and you're like, oh, I feel great, doc.

00:33:46.000 Oh, what were you going to say?

00:33:48.000 No, you go.

00:33:49.000 People keep sending me these stories about graphene being in the vaccines and that people are being tracked.

00:33:54.000 There's actually a patent where they want to track people based on their graphene in their bloodstream or something. 0.87

00:34:00.000 And I just keep dismissing it because it sounds so ridiculous.

00:34:04.000 But I just received like three messages about it over the weekend.

00:34:07.000 I want to pull it up.

00:34:08.000 I really do not believe there's graphene.

00:34:10.000 No, there is.

00:34:10.000 There's graphene in the vaccine.

00:34:12.000 Who died suddenly?

00:34:13.000 They did a whole report on this.

00:34:14.000 I can send you a link if you want.

00:34:16.000 But like, to what extent and what's the point of it and what does it do?

00:34:19.000 That is beyond my graphene knowledge.

00:34:20.000 I'm gonna send the report to Ian and he'll let us all know.

00:34:23.000 If that's true, then I gotta question Ian's loyalty.

00:34:26.000 Who are you working for, Ian?

00:34:27.000 The thing about materials is they'll be used for good aid.

00:34:32.000 The nuclear program was so amazing because it ended up winning us the war, World War II, but also so devastating because it gave people access to nuclear weapons.

00:34:40.000 Same with graphene.

00:34:41.000 There's a duality to everything.

00:34:42.000 Yeah, it'll be remaking roads, buildings, rails, all that, but people will be making new weapons with it, tracking.

00:34:48.000 Yeah, I mean, that's the history of the fight.

00:34:49.000 I mean, the reason that we have such a robust defense and in particular firearms industry here in this country is because we won the revolution.

00:34:57.000 And now all of a sudden we're on our own.

00:34:59.000 The French were our allies only insofar as they want to, but now they see us as a young, potentially vulnerable nation.

00:35:08.000 We were buying all of our weapons from our allies, or what we took over with us from Britain.

00:35:14.000 And so we basically had to recreate our own weapons manufacturing.

00:35:18.000 I mean, this is, of course, back in the day when everything was made by hand, right?

00:35:21.000 I mean, lock, stock, and barrel, that was the old saying.

00:35:28.000 That's why it's such a big industry here.

00:35:30.000 People don't really understand.

00:35:32.000 They think, how did that culture develop here in the U.S.?

00:35:35.000 But it was because we had to create it literally from scratch to be able to defend ourselves.

00:35:41.000 The corporate press says no graphene oxide in the vaccines.

00:35:46.000 I wonder if what people are confusing is that they used graphene oxide in the manufacturing process that is not in the vaccine, because some of the things I'm seeing are people talking about fetal cells in the vaccine.

00:35:59.000 Fetal cells are used in the development of these.

00:36:02.000 in like testing and production, but the final product doesn't contain the cells themselves.

00:36:07.000 I'm not—like, I actually think that's an argument. What we saw a lot of was people

00:36:11.000 saying they didn't want to take it because they used fetal cells to make the vaccine,

00:36:14.000 and then the media was like, no, there's no fetal cells in the vaccine. Well, hold on.

00:36:17.000 That's not what people were saying. They were saying that to make the product, to invent it,

00:36:21.000 to test it, you used fetal cells, you know, so we're not okay with that. It's like, you know,

00:36:27.000 You know, it's like we.

00:36:29.000 In order to test this, we injected a bunch of monkeys.

00:36:31.000 Those monkeys died.

00:36:32.000 But don't worry.

00:36:33.000 These vaccines contain no monkey.

00:36:35.000 And it's like, well, that's not what I'm saying.

00:36:36.000 I'm saying you killed monkeys to do it.

00:36:37.000 So I don't know to what extent people are talking about graphene oxide, but I think it was maybe in the manufacturing process.

00:36:42.000 That's my guess.

00:36:43.000 A lot of times, that's a big problem with the food industry.

00:36:44.000 They'll show you the ingredients of the food, but they don't show you what chemicals were used in the treatment of the machinery before the food was processed a lot of times.

00:36:51.000 And sometimes you have toxic chemicals used to clean metal or something.

00:36:54.000 And how do you completely get that off, especially for food manufacturing, right?

00:36:57.000 You can't.

00:36:57.000 You don't.

00:36:57.000 I don't think you really can.

00:36:58.000 There's no way.

00:36:59.000 You have residue.

00:37:00.000 You know, Justin, you were talking about the weapons manufacturers in the United States.

00:37:03.000 I'm wondering, from your perspective, as a weapons manufacturing company, or CEO, you're the executive, what are your thoughts on the military-industrial complex?

00:37:12.000 Just because lately, I used to think I didn't know anything about them.

00:37:15.000 Then 2007, I was like, they're the villains.

00:37:18.000 Now I'm like, wait, we have the military-industrial complex in the United States.

00:37:22.000 If it was in another country, we'd be, Well, I think they've become that in many ways.

00:37:25.000 We would be their customer.

00:37:26.000 I mean, yeah.

00:37:27.000 How do you do you find them as like an evil, unstoppable force?

00:37:30.000 Or what do you think about?

00:37:31.000 Well, I mean, I think they've become that in many ways.

00:37:36.000 I mean, it's a it's a profit generating industry.

00:37:39.000 And so in today's society where it's easy for them to say,

00:37:45.000 well, we can just start another war and that will be our development ground for where we make advancements and we

00:37:51.000 test I mean, that's where we are today, but that's not where it was when we began, right?

00:37:59.000 I mean, like I said, we developed this industry in the U.S.

00:38:04.000 because we had to.

00:38:04.000 We had to be able to make our own guns to defend a young, up-and-coming country.

00:38:10.000 And so As it's developed over time, and we've like, you know, post World War Two, obviously, the rest of the world is mostly in shambles.

00:38:20.000 We're we're running strong.

00:38:23.000 We were really the only country left that could produce much of anything.

00:38:26.000 So we basically became the supplier to the rest of the world for advanced weaponry.

00:38:33.000 So As power has become concentrated in those industries, the military-industrial complex is a real thing.

00:38:43.000 That's way over my purview in the sense that we're very detached from that.

00:38:50.000 They're much larger than us.

00:38:53.000 It's something that I can't even fathom.

00:38:56.000 These are people that are connected with politicians and they're making Backroom deals and they're writing the legislation they're deciding where we're gonna fight the next war all of those things so it I think it's an unfortunate product of

00:39:14.000 Of reality, you know, when you have an industry that makes money off of the development of weapons technology, eventually somewhere along the line, you know, like the development of the nuclear bomb.

00:39:25.000 So somebody looks at the atom and says, oh, we could make a bomb with this.

00:39:29.000 And if that's the guy that gets all the money and all the funding, then we're going to make a bunch of bombs.

00:39:34.000 And so in the military-industrial complex, you have some guy in there at one point that says, hey, we could actually make a lot of money if we just started our own wars, right?

00:39:46.000 Instead of waiting for the next war to happen and then figuring out which side we're going to supply.

00:39:51.000 I mean, I think that's probably gone on forever.

00:39:54.000 People have been supplying both sides of every conflict going back forever.

00:39:59.000 Have you seen Sherlock Holmes' Game of Shadows?

00:40:02.000 The movie plot is basically—spoiler alert for this, you know, 15-year-old movie or whatever.

00:40:07.000 Moriarty is, he owns portions of all these different companies and manufacturers in different

00:40:12.000 countries and he wants a world war to start so that he can be the financier and have debt

00:40:17.000 in all of these different places and own everything.

00:40:19.000 And like I guess the premise of the film is the industrialization of war and they like

00:40:23.000 the first machine pistol and he's like, whoa, it's like, what is this?

00:40:26.000 They're all shocked by it.

00:40:28.000 And then at the end Moriarty's like, war on the world, on the industrial level is coming.

00:40:32.000 You can't stop it.

00:40:34.000 Well, and naturally, technology typically has something that eclipses it and that business dies away.

00:40:38.000 But with the war industry, they just continue to up the ante.

00:40:42.000 And if you give them a chance to test it... Bioweapons.

00:40:44.000 Yeah.

00:40:44.000 And then we tell other countries, well, you can't develop your own.

00:40:51.000 Whichever side you are on, you know, so Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon.

00:40:57.000 And we've decided that we can't allow that to happen.

00:41:00.000 And so not only do we have these large companies here in the U.S.

00:41:06.000 that are making all the weapons, but they're actively lobbying along with politicians to not allow that kind of weapons technology to be developed anywhere else.

00:41:16.000 So, I mean, of course it's going to be concentrated here because we won't allow that industry to grow.

00:41:21.000 I mean, imagine if You know, pick a country.

00:41:27.000 Pick a country that we don't really like.

00:41:28.000 You know, we're going to do everything that we can within our power.

00:41:31.000 I mean, we really can't tell China what to do, but some country that we can actually exert influence over, we're going to do everything that we can to prevent them from growing a weapons industry because we don't want that to impact the companies that we've got here.

00:41:47.000 Yeah, which are five of the six largest are American.

00:41:52.000 Yeah.

00:41:52.000 The sixth is British.

00:41:53.000 So I look at it as a monopoly.

00:41:55.000 For sure.

00:41:55.000 And you might laugh and be like, duh, but literally what they've done is they've broken it into six companies that are technically different companies, but they're all American-British manufacturing.

00:42:05.000 There's Raytheon, Lockheed Martin's the number one, then it's Boeing, Raytheon, BAE is the British one, then there's Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics.

00:42:14.000 What does B.A.E.

00:42:15.000 stand for?

00:42:15.000 B.A.E.

00:42:17.000 B.A.E.

00:42:17.000 Systems.

00:42:18.000 Systems is the company.

00:42:19.000 I don't know what the... I don't know what it stands for off the top of my head.

00:42:23.000 We'll find out.

00:42:23.000 B.A.E.

00:42:24.000 Where you said Halliburton?

00:42:24.000 Halliburton.

00:42:25.000 Halliburton is not in the top leading weapons manufacturers.

00:42:28.000 Halliburton's not really a weapons... They're more of a general contractor.

00:42:32.000 They just... Nation build.

00:42:34.000 Yeah, they nation build.

00:42:35.000 Exactly.

00:42:36.000 Beyond that is Airbus, which is trans-European.

00:42:38.000 Now we're starting to look at the non-British-American alliance.

00:42:40.000 There's Thales in France.

00:42:42.000 It's only worth $9 billion.

00:42:42.000 The American-British ones are like $20 billion and up.

00:42:44.000 So they constitute $140 billion.

00:42:47.000 Probably like 90-95% of the weapons manufacturers on Earth, something like that, are American-British.

00:42:51.000 Then you get to Leonardo, which is Italian at $8.8 billion.

00:42:54.000 And Almaz-Antey in Russian, $8.5 billion.

00:42:57.000 That's the first Russian manufacturing.

00:42:58.000 So yeah, I think that there is a monopoly on weapons manufacturing controlled by the British Empire, American industry being the weaponization arm of the British Empire.

00:43:09.000 It's concerning.

00:43:10.000 I don't know any way around it.

00:43:11.000 I don't even know if it's the worst-case scenario.

00:43:12.000 I mean, it's better than the Chinese. 1.00

00:43:15.000 I'm not a warmonger, but I understand the value of war and the necessity of it at times, so... Yeah, and obviously those companies have developed a lot of this technology that have civilian uses and civilian purposes, and some of those things started off maybe with, like, a lot of the things that came out of DARPA have had, you know, Anything having to do with lasers, for example.

00:43:36.000 Lasers have a lot of scientific research uses.

00:43:39.000 They also have use for offensive weaponry.

00:43:43.000 There's just no way around that.

00:43:45.000 You know, the internet, all of these things, a lot of them are products of weapons development and DARPA and the government investing in things.

00:43:55.000 And you have some aspect that's going to be useful for civilian purposes, and then you're going to have some aspect that's going to be useful for military purposes.

00:44:03.000 Roads.

00:44:03.000 That's another example.

00:44:04.000 The Roman roadways was like the greatest military breakthrough.

00:44:07.000 Way to move troops.

00:44:08.000 Exactly.

00:44:09.000 How did you start your business?

00:44:10.000 I'm just curious.

00:44:11.000 You guys might know the origin story already.

00:44:14.000 Kind of happenstance to be honest with you.

00:44:16.000 So this was in 2015.

00:44:18.000 I was working for an insurance company and it was an insurance company that specialized in dealing with manufacturers.

00:44:24.000 So everybody I dealt with around the Detroit area was in the manufacturing business of some kind.

00:44:30.000 Small tool and die shops all the way up to big plastics manufacturing companies with you know 200 employees.

00:44:38.000 That was kind of our niche market.

00:44:40.000 And so I was looking to get out of that industry and I had developed an affinity for what they did.

00:44:47.000 I saw these guys that, you know, they were building whatever, widgets, parts, and on the worst day of their lives, you know, their wife could be divorcing them, they could be having the crappiest day possible, but they could look at the product that they made and be satisfied that they put their craftsmanship into it.

00:45:05.000 Yeah.

00:45:06.000 And so I was jealous of them in that way because, you know, I'm selling insurance.

00:45:12.000 It's a book full of paper that you hope you never have to open because that's the worst day of your life probably, you know.

00:45:18.000 So my younger brother was working for a small ammunition reloading company at the time.

00:45:26.000 And, you know, this was like the tail end of the Obama presidency.

00:45:29.000 So this was post-Sandy Hook.

00:45:32.000 There was a big boom in the firearms industry as a result.

00:45:35.000 You know, there was a lot of regulation that people were afraid of.

00:45:38.000 The cost of ammunition was really high because the demand was very high.

00:45:42.000 And again, at that time, the whole ammo industry was controlled by a small group of companies, you know, Winchester, Remington, Federal, these big players.

00:45:53.000 So you had a lot of small companies starting to get into the business of making ammo because they saw a market for it.

00:46:00.000 And so the guy who owned the company that he worked for passed away and it was like a side business.

00:46:06.000 He was like a rich guy, had a couple of other businesses.

00:46:09.000 So my brother called me and said, hey, I think we can buy this equipment for not that much money.

00:46:15.000 I know you're thinking about wanting to do something else.

00:46:18.000 What do you think about this?

00:46:19.000 And so I thought about it for a while.

00:46:21.000 We bought the equipment.

00:46:24.000 It was in April of 2015.

00:46:28.000 My background is finance and that type of thing.

00:46:31.000 I wrote a business plan and we put the pieces together.

00:46:36.000 I tried to find some venture capital, some money to fund it.

00:46:40.000 I struck out on that.

00:46:42.000 Did you want to be ahead of an election year?

00:46:44.000 plan and kind of go all in. So we got up and running right before the 2016

00:46:52.000 election or you know 2015-2016 election. Did you do that, like did you want to be

00:46:56.000 ahead of an election year? Does that influence gun sales or ammo? Well it was

00:47:01.000 sort of happenstance that we got everything lined up before the

00:47:06.000 So we had a couple of months where it was a good run up because everybody knew Hillary was going to win. 1.00

00:47:12.000 And so the whole gun industry was kind of freaking out.

00:47:15.000 She's going to ban everything. 1.00

00:47:17.000 I knew a lot of people who bought their first gun because they were afraid Hillary Clinton was going to win.

00:47:21.000 Yeah, I was a consumer in the gun industry post Sandy Hook, so I was doing that.

00:47:28.000 I bought a $200 AR-15 lower receiver like a bunch of other people.

00:47:33.000 Is that what determines commercial gun sales in America?

00:47:37.000 Pending regulations or pending political turmoil?

00:47:39.000 Say that one more time.

00:47:40.000 Is that what sort of dictates, like, if people are going to suddenly buy a lot of guns?

00:47:44.000 It's not like they're like, oh, it's Christmas time.

00:47:45.000 We're going to buy everyone a gun.

00:47:46.000 It can be.

00:47:47.000 I mean, it is seasonal as well.

00:47:48.000 People buy stuff around the holidays for sure.

00:47:51.000 It's kind of a winter sport here in the Midwest as well.

00:47:54.000 People shoot mostly at indoor shooting ranges.

00:47:56.000 And so it tends to be a bit seasonal.

00:47:58.000 But yeah, I mean, it definitely tracks with the political cycle.

00:48:01.000 It does for sure.

00:48:03.000 So we got up and running and then obviously the election didn't go the way that people thought and so there was a bit of a struggle for the first couple years while we tried to figure out, you know, the demand is dropping so you can't just be the guy with the ammo that people are gonna buy at any price.

00:48:19.000 You have to find a niche and so that got us into competitive shooting in particular, people that do training classes that are big consumers, high-volume consumers, are willing to pay a little bit more for a premium product.

00:48:31.000 So it was actually great for us in that sense.

00:48:33.000 I mean, if Hillary would have won and we would have been able to just sell whatever because people would buy whatever, we wouldn't have been able to develop the brand the way that we have.

00:48:46.000 And so I'm kind of thankful for that, I would say, in retrospect.

00:48:51.000 Let's jump into this next story we have from NBC.

00:48:53.000 People, I see people are super chained about this.

00:48:55.000 U.S.

00:48:55.000 Marshals Service suffers major security breach that compromises sensitive information, senior law enforcement officials say.

00:49:02.000 The incident did not involve the database involving witness security program, blah blah blah.

00:49:06.000 But they're going to say, sensitive information, the affected system contains law enforcement sensitive info, including returns from legal process administrative information.

00:49:14.000 personally identifiable information pertaining to subjects of USMS investigations, third parties,

00:49:20.000 and certain USMS employees. Wade said the incident occurred February 17th, when the

00:49:25.000 Marshals Service discovered a ransomware and data exfiltration event affecting a standalone USMS

00:49:30.000 system. It's got me thinking. In the event of war with China, you know what I think they're going to

00:49:35.000 do? I I think they're gonna release everybody's private info.

00:49:39.000 You think China will, you say?

00:49:41.000 I mean, maybe China, somebody.

00:49:42.000 One of the most powerful cyber attacks you can do is not a nuclear... One of the most powerful acts of war would not be a surveillance balloon or even a bomb.

00:49:51.000 It would be taking everybody's data and publishing it.

00:49:55.000 Yeah.

00:49:56.000 People would, you know... We've talked about this before.

00:49:59.000 A lot of people said that when the Soviet Union fell and everyone's secret files got released, everyone just agreed to shut up and not bring it up because everybody had bad stuff in there.

00:50:08.000 But yo, it's gonna get crazy when some leftist teacher's DMs get released and they're saying a whole bunch of racial slurs.

00:50:14.000 It's gonna be nuts.

00:50:17.000 So I was seeing this story and I'm just thinking about to what extent are some of these cyber attacks acts of war?

00:50:23.000 Think about it for... Okay, so maybe it's embarrassing if someone publishes your web browser history or something, right?

00:50:27.000 But what if a foreign nation publishes all the criminal court proceedings and all the communications from investigators just completely disrupting our legal system? 0.94

00:50:39.000 Especially if they weave in falsehoods within these huge dumps of truths.

00:50:45.000 And then they could pick specific little things where a piece of data is slightly skewed to make someone look guilty or someone not look guilty.

00:50:55.000 I find myself imagining when you get those calls, it's like, we want to call you by your extended warranty.

00:51:00.000 Like, what if they stole everyone's data, they leak it, and then you just bombard every communication system so there's no way to get actual information across?

00:51:07.000 And that sounds a little bit ridiculous, but if you made it so that no one wanted to pick up their phone, no one wanted to, you know, check their email, no one wanted to communicate with you at all, they couldn't trust that their identity hadn't been stolen.

00:51:17.000 I mean, it would be chaotic.

00:51:19.000 But it's not about your identity being stolen.

00:51:21.000 Those phone calls can serve two purposes.

00:51:22.000 The first is My phone rings.

00:51:25.000 I think I got, like, seven scam calls today.

00:51:27.000 It's, like, scam-likely, just endless.

00:51:29.000 And then I get voicemails that are just in Mandarin.

00:51:32.000 I can't do anything with that.

00:51:34.000 All it does is waste my time.

00:51:36.000 But you have to think about it this way.

00:51:37.000 You ever see the movie Office Space?

00:51:38.000 Yeah.

00:51:39.000 Especially the movie.

00:51:40.000 And they're like, we wrote a program that takes fractions of a fraction of a penny from these transactions, so over a long period of time, we'll make a bunch of money.

00:51:46.000 China's probably looking at it in a similar way in terms of war.

00:51:49.000 I'm not saying these phone calls are coming from the Chinese government, maybe.

00:51:52.000 But think about it this way.

00:51:53.000 If a phone call disrupts an individual worker in the United States by 0.0001% of their daily productivity, it means nothing to the individual.

00:52:02.000 But as a collective, the entirety of the United States, that could be seriously damaging.

00:52:06.000 It could, you know, stack up to the point where all of that, it's like strapping a weight to the ankle of the American economy.

00:52:14.000 They are Yeah, yeah.

00:52:16.000 You shoot a $400,000 missile at a balloon, and you wasted $400,000.

00:52:18.000 But if you spend... It wasn't way more than that?

00:52:19.000 Well, it was per missile, I think.

00:52:20.000 and they give into these scams and give money away, now they're actually stealing resources

00:52:25.000 they can then use in their war effort. Yeah, yeah, you shoot a $400,000 missile at a balloon

00:52:32.000 and you wasted $400,000, but if you spend... It wasn't way more than that? Well, it was per

00:52:37.000 missile, I think. Oh, okay. And they shot two, so it was $800,000 total. But... Well, all right.

00:52:41.000 But yeah, you spend $800,000 on missiles or you spend $800,000 putting together some,

00:52:48.000 you know, algorithm and what's your cost? Knock out the internet. Your cost is the data,

00:52:52.000 basically. That's your only cost and it can just run in the background and disrupt whatever you

00:52:56.000 want. When the US has the internet knocked out. 0.99

00:52:58.000 We all go, oh geez, the internet's out.

00:53:00.000 But how much economic activity is disrupted by that, slowing US growth and allowing, and then China carries on as, you know, nothing happening.

00:53:07.000 This happened in Canada last year.

00:53:09.000 There was a big internet outage.

00:53:10.000 One of the telecommunication companies went down.

00:53:12.000 And I mean, it was, it was not just workers, but also bus systems, because all of the bus passes are hooked up to the internet.

00:53:19.000 So you can't get anywhere.

00:53:20.000 I mean, it went on for like two, the outage was, I think, 24, maybe over.

00:53:25.000 that and uh the the chaos that ensued it took a long time it took several weeks to recover from because the city was just not prepared to lose the internet and with china stealing and releasing data it in particular it's challenging to think about because you just don't know how much data has been released and collected by china i mean i know we saw all it was like 26 states now have specifically banned tiktok on government issue devices and government networks Because part of TikTok's policies is that it collects not just information on your phone, but also your browsing history and on your keystrokes and all of these things.

00:53:59.000 Like, if you had that, but you were a government worker, and so you were on the DMV Wi-Fi, and so you have all of this information, and you've been looking up different things for people, like, that's a lot of very sensitive data that's just sitting in this app's purview to swipe.

00:54:13.000 Yeah, China, if you're listening, name your price for Eric Swalwell's browser history.

00:54:21.000 I think Fang Fang was watching, you know, they were probably working on that together.

00:54:27.000 Plus, like if someone's got, I think kind of along the lines of what you're saying, if someone's got TikTok on their phone, and then they got my name and number and email address on their phone as a contact, now the CCP has my email address.

00:54:38.000 Well, I don't remember.

00:54:39.000 But it's something Facebook's already been doing.

00:54:40.000 I mean, Facebook collects your browser, your, like, if you have a Facebook Messenger open, it can read all your other tabs on your computer.

00:54:45.000 So, there's no way to put it back in the bottle.

00:54:48.000 Wait, wait, Facebook Messenger can read all the tabs on your browser?

00:54:50.000 Really?

00:54:51.000 It's either Facebook or Facebook Messenger in their terms of service.

00:54:53.000 They can, like, if you have it open, they can read the other stuff that's going on.

00:54:56.000 They can, like, collect the data.

00:54:57.000 I don't know about on a computer how that would work.

00:54:59.000 On a phone, I would understand how that could work.

00:55:02.000 It's on any internet browser.

00:55:03.000 I mean, I'm not an expert, but this is something that I had been told.

00:55:06.000 I know that websites all have the Facebook tracker, so Facebook knows where you are all the time.

00:55:11.000 The scary thing about Facebook is the shadow profiles.

00:55:13.000 You guys know about that?

00:55:14.000 Yeah, they build that based on the contacts on your phone.

00:55:16.000 And all that other data.

00:55:16.000 Exactly.

00:55:17.000 All the data they collect from everywhere builds a profile on you, whether you want it or not.

00:55:22.000 Isn't it really funny?

00:55:23.000 Wasn't the CIA working on some program, you know, about tracking the life of every single person, and then they canceled the program and then Facebook launched around the same time?

00:55:32.000 Literally, like, the same time.

00:55:33.000 Yeah, what was that called?

00:55:35.000 I think the people in the chat will know that the CIA or something was working on some program called LifeTrack or something like that, and they wanted to create profiles on everybody, and then all of a sudden they just canceled the program.

00:55:46.000 Then Facebook starts.

00:55:48.000 It's like somebody probably went to the boss and said, why are we going to do all this work tracking people when we can just convince them to do it for us?

00:55:54.000 They'll beg us to post their photos and share.

00:55:57.000 Do you feel like we're on the defensive?

00:55:58.000 You know, they're saying there's a security breach.

00:56:00.000 LifeLog.

00:56:01.000 NSA LifeLog?

00:56:01.000 LifeLog.

00:56:02.000 That's kind of crazy.

00:56:02.000 Is that what it was called?

00:56:04.000 You're a security guy.

00:56:05.000 Do you feel like we're on the defensive with this?

00:56:06.000 Like we are reacting to someone collecting our data as opposed to actively securing it?

00:56:12.000 Yeah.

00:56:14.000 I think, you know, part of that's a product of when you got into the tech age.

00:56:18.000 I mean, I'm 37, so I had a phone when I was 12, but I wasn't allowed to use it unless it was an emergency.

00:56:25.000 Phone plans at that time had 500 texts a month and so it was just a different age.

00:56:32.000 I'm kind of like a Bitcoin guy and so there's a whole segment of the Bitcoin industry that's really into the security side of it.

00:56:47.000 It just depends on how you started, right?

00:56:50.000 Once you start going down a path, you're unlikely to shift.

00:56:55.000 So people who have started using technology before thinking about security as being something that they should think about are probably unlikely, or in some cases, it's not even really possible for them to go all the way back to square one And build security from the ground up.

00:57:13.000 Like if you're doing 10 things that are unsecure and then you decide, well I'm going to start taking security seriously, well it's probably already too late.

00:57:20.000 Unless you're going to get a new phone number, you're going to completely get rid of anything that you used prior and you're going to start from scratch.

00:57:28.000 So I think your average person is just very unlikely to do that.

00:57:32.000 So you have to think about where does it make the most sense.

00:57:36.000 So for me, when I got into Bitcoin, I was kind of a neophyte in it at the very beginning.

00:57:43.000 I was just paying attention to what was popular in the media.

00:57:47.000 And then I actually went to a conference called Guns and Bitcoin last year.

00:57:53.000 And started talking. 0.98

00:57:54.000 I mean, like, I was the dumbest guy in the room. 0.92

00:57:56.000 Honestly, these guys were some of the smartest people I've ever been around. 0.72

00:58:01.000 But it was funny how much we had in common with them, which was kind of the point of the conference.

00:58:05.000 It was a lot about 3D printing guns and Bitcoin and, you know, self-sovereignty and two different groups looking at the same problem from a different perspective.

00:58:14.000 And so thinking about, okay, well, if you're gonna have your own Bitcoin, like, well, are you really in control of it?

00:58:24.000 Do you know your keys?

00:58:25.000 Are you connected to your own node?

00:58:27.000 Do you have a secure wallet?

00:58:31.000 So, in that case, yeah, I'm pretty confident that I've done the right things in that one area of my life, but are there a bunch of other ways that I'm probably deficient from a security perspective?

00:58:42.000 Yeah, probably.

00:58:43.000 Well, the majority of people, like you're saying, just never think about that.

00:58:45.000 I mean, like, in the gun community, a big thing has been, like, we know that Facebook and Instagram and the tech companies are developing ways to pull the serial number off of Photos of guns so if you take a photo of a gun and they can see the serial number They are digitizing that just like you do you you know character recognition OCR and so that's a big thing That was a big thing for a while you got you can't show your serial number on the internet because then they'll know that it's yours and then they're gonna build this shadow registry and

00:59:18.000 That supposedly they are not allowed to do but we all know that they are So like in my case, I mean, there's so many pictures of my guns out in the internet Like what can I do at that point?

00:59:29.000 Yeah now going forward I could make sure that I don't do that with anything that I don't want them to know that I have but once you've once you've let that cat out of the bag, it's pretty hard to put it back in and Let's talk about Scott Adams.

00:59:44.000 Ladies and gentlemen, we have this tweet from Scott Adams.

00:59:45.000 He says, My publisher for non-Dilbert books has cancelled my upcoming book and the entire backlist.

00:59:52.000 Still no disagreement about my point of view.

00:59:55.000 My book agent cancelled me too.

00:59:57.000 I'm not sure what he means by still no disagreement about his point of view, but here's the story.

01:00:02.000 Because there's a lot of people disagreeing with his point of view.

01:00:05.000 Hundreds of, this is from hot air, hundreds of newspapers cancel Dilbert comic strip, accuse Scott Adams of racism.

01:00:11.000 There is some nuance to the conversation being had here that the media is overlooking in what Scott Adams said, albeit I disagree with what Scott Adams' prescription for the issue is.

01:00:23.000 Rasmussen published this.

01:00:25.000 Black Americans only.

01:00:27.000 Quote, it's okay to be white.

01:00:30.000 53% agree.

01:00:31.000 26% disagree.

01:00:33.000 21% not sure.

01:00:36.000 That's kind of a crazy scary number.

01:00:39.000 That 26% of black Americans think it's, or they disagree with the idea that it's okay to be white.

01:00:45.000 And 21% aren't sure.

01:00:47.000 That's kind of scary. 0.98

01:00:48.000 Quote, black people can be racist too. 0.97

01:00:49.000 76% agree.

01:00:50.000 27% disagree.

01:00:51.000 8% not sure.

01:00:55.000 So let me play for you what Scott Adams said, which resulted in his absolute cancellation.

01:01:01.000 Dilbert's being cancelled, his book is being cancelled, he says his career is over.

01:01:04.000 Here's what he said.

01:01:06.000 So if nearly half of all blacks are not okay with... According to this poll, not according to me, according to this poll, that's a hate group. 0.90

01:01:19.000 That's a hate group.

01:01:21.000 And I don't want to have anything to do with them. 1.00

01:01:24.000 And I would say, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from black people. 1.00

01:01:33.000 Just get the fuck away. 1.00

01:01:36.000 Wherever you have to go, just get away. 0.99

01:01:39.000 Because there's no fixing this.

01:01:41.000 That's not true.

01:01:43.000 This can't be fixed.

01:01:45.000 All right, this can't be fixed.

01:01:47.000 You just have to escape.

01:01:49.000 So that's what I did.

01:01:49.000 I went to a neighborhood where, you know, I have a very low black population, because unfortunately, you know, there's a high correlation between the density.

01:01:59.000 This is according to Don Lemon, by the way.

01:02:01.000 So here I'm just quoting Don Lemon when he notes that when he lived in a mostly black neighborhood, there were a bunch of problems that he didn't see in white neighborhoods.

01:02:14.000 So even Don Lemon sees a big difference in your own quality of living based on where you live and who's there.

01:02:23.000 So I think it makes no sense whatsoever as a white citizen of America to try to help black citizens anymore.

01:02:32.000 It doesn't make sense.

01:02:34.000 It is no longer a rational impulse.

01:02:38.000 And so I'm going to back off from being helpful to black America, because it doesn't seem like it pays off. 1.00

01:02:47.000 I've been doing it all my life, and the only outcome is I get called a racist.

01:02:54.000 That's the only outcome. 0.92

01:02:56.000 It makes no sense to help black Americans if you're white. 0.99

01:03:02.000 It's over. 0.99

01:03:04.000 Don't even think it's worth trying.

01:03:06.000 Totally not trying.

01:03:10.000 And there we go.

01:03:14.000 You didn't expect that today, did you?

01:03:16.000 So I don't get what his point is.

01:03:17.000 I mean, first of all, he's very, very wrong.

01:03:20.000 He makes the point about Don Lemon saying, even in his neighborhood, something like, yeah, Don Lemon did say that.

01:03:24.000 Don Lemon did this thing in 2013 where he was like, if you live in the black community, stop littering, start doing these things.

01:03:30.000 And then I just brought up, like, I don't know about these other cities.

01:03:33.000 I know that in Chicago and Hyde Park, which has double the black population than the country's average, It's actually very wealthy and very nice and has University of Chicago and you walk around and everything is beautiful down there for the most part. 0.99

01:03:46.000 And you go to other neighborhoods like where I grew up and there's a bunch of scummy white trash, white people with, you know, cars with no tires in front of their house and trash like that. 1.00

01:03:54.000 So I don't know, maybe it's just me because I'm in the mix of it. 0.99

01:03:58.000 I don't see that.

01:03:59.000 I don't know what he's talking about.

01:04:00.000 But now his book is cancelled.

01:04:03.000 His non-Dilbert books are cancelled.

01:04:05.000 His entire backlist.

01:04:06.000 Here's what I think.

01:04:08.000 When the left has psychotic racist opinions, nobody bats an eye, nobody gets cancelled.

01:04:12.000 The left can literally advocate for racial segregation, and they do, and they implement it all the time, and there's no repercussions.

01:04:19.000 And then Scott Adams comes out and says, he doesn't like this, so he's going to move and he thinks other people should as well.

01:04:24.000 And I'm like, I disagree with you, Scott Adams.

01:04:27.000 I don't like stereotyping based on race.

01:04:29.000 That doesn't solve the problem, and it doesn't actually get to the root of what is actually going on.

01:04:32.000 Just because they polled this group of people doesn't actually answer any of the questions that we're trying to have answered.

01:04:36.000 But that's fine.

01:04:37.000 He's allowed to have his opinion.

01:04:38.000 I'm just saying there's clearly leftist, CRT-based racism, which is very, very similar in many ways.

01:04:44.000 I mean, it's literally just like old-school white supremacy with a mask put on it.

01:04:49.000 Is totally acceptable and fun.

01:04:51.000 Derek Bell, the critical race theorist who's pro-segregation, that's acceptable in these schools. 0.88

01:04:56.000 Scott Adams, who says basically the same thing, but in a different way.

01:05:00.000 That's really, really bad.

01:05:01.000 I think it's all bad, but it's clearly double standard.

01:05:05.000 I think he's been sort of on a slow cancellation anyways.

01:05:07.000 Like this is maybe the nail in his public coffin but he got dropped by a big publisher who has like 70 newspapers earlier last year because he had this character who's black but identifies as white and he was making some joke about like ESG scores and got contacted by a publisher for like I think it was 73 newspapers and they're like we're not gonna run your comic anymore.

01:05:28.000 I understand why this is like uncomfortable and shocking and I don't think that he's right about the way he's interpreting all of this data.

01:05:34.000 But I think that he has been sort of a growing target for cancel culture anyways.

01:05:41.000 You're right that about the way he's interpreting this data is wrong.

01:05:44.000 He took a poll of a thousand people and then he said something about all of Americans and that people should run away from black people because of this thousand person poll that isn't even confirmed.

01:05:55.000 I don't know if it's actually 72 percent.

01:05:57.000 Rasmussen said that they poll online so people elect to take it and that it's nationwide, so theoretically people come from a cross-section of society.

01:06:05.000 Theoretically people could lie.

01:06:06.000 But people who answer a poll like that are the people who are going to answer a poll like that.

01:06:10.000 I mean, that's the problem that the gun industry has the same thing.

01:06:13.000 That's one of the problems with polling, right?

01:06:15.000 Like, if you just put out one poll and you're like, and we've now decided.

01:06:17.000 It's indicative of something, but you would need to do more research to really get to the bottom of it.

01:06:22.000 And he says in the beginning, just so you know, this is all based on this one poll.

01:06:26.000 I'm basing my entire belief structure on this poll now.

01:06:29.000 And he starts claiming things as if the poll is right.

01:06:32.000 Dude, Scott, you brought it on yourself, man.

01:06:34.000 It is crazy that 26% of people would be like, no, it's not okay to be white.

01:06:38.000 It's not 26% of people, 26% of a thousand people.

01:06:40.000 26% of black respondents said.

01:06:43.000 Yeah, were they even black?

01:06:44.000 I mean, can you prove it?

01:06:45.000 I can't.

01:06:46.000 I don't know any, this poll.

01:06:47.000 Your question of trust is not a question of the argument, Ian.

01:06:51.000 makes a definitive claim based on this unverifiable poll.

01:06:55.000 And if it is verified, it's a thousand people.

01:06:57.000 If this is true, that's what the poll says, then therefore... Then he extrapolates, then therefore the entire world is that way and we must make decisions based on... Big mistake, Scott.

01:07:06.000 Ian, you're not actually answering what Hannah-Claire was talking about.

01:07:10.000 In what way?

01:07:13.000 Hannah-Claire was talking about how it's crazy that, you know, 26% of the respondents identifying this way said this thing.

01:07:19.000 Now you can extrapolate whatever you want.

01:07:21.000 She said 26% of people.

01:07:22.000 That was why I responded.

01:07:23.000 26% of black people.

01:07:24.000 26% of black respondents said that they think it's not OK to be white.

01:07:28.000 Did you actually check?

01:07:28.000 Is it 1,000?

01:07:29.000 It's 1,000 for the whole poll.

01:07:30.000 I thought it was like 130.

01:07:32.000 I think that the 26% is a smaller population.

01:07:36.000 It's like 130 total respondents.

01:07:38.000 Right.

01:07:39.000 If I remember.

01:07:40.000 So Scott made a broad sweeping claim about society based on 130.

01:07:44.000 He actually said he moved away because of things like this.

01:07:47.000 And I'm kind of like, yeah, that's But that means he already did it.

01:07:50.000 He's not saying, I'm moving.

01:07:51.000 He already left, right?

01:07:53.000 I've been of the belief that maybe Scott would come on the show one day.

01:07:57.000 Like he's been very vocal about critical race theory and like he seems like he's got an awareness about things in society.

01:08:02.000 But at the same time, I got to say Dilbert, I think is one of the most boring cartoons ever made.

01:08:07.000 I used to watch it in the 80s and 90s.

01:08:09.000 I read it in the 90s in a paper and it'd be like, Oh, sure is hot out there today, huh?

01:08:13.000 And Dilbert would be like, yeah, and he's drinking coffee.

01:08:15.000 He's like, got donuts there?

01:08:17.000 Yeah.

01:08:17.000 And then that's the end of the comic.

01:08:18.000 And you're like, what in the hell kind of dreary, boring- You don't want to have mine because this comic's boring?

01:08:24.000 I liked Dilbert because my dad is a software engineer, and he is like- It is one thousand American- I mean, it was just, it was very similar.

01:08:33.000 I just hope that Calvin and Hobbes guy stays out of this whole discussion.

01:08:35.000 I don't know how you guys feel about it.

01:08:41.000 If Scott wants to come on, I don't know if you guys are even interested in talking to the guy, but I think, you know, I don't like seeing people get canceled in general.

01:08:48.000 I just like more information, right?

01:08:49.000 Like I think the poll is sort of doing a disservice because there's no follow up as far as we know.

01:08:54.000 I mean, it's really easy to put some shocking stats on Twitter and to not dive into your point, right?

01:08:58.000 It's only a thousand people.

01:08:59.000 We need more research.

01:09:00.000 It's unusual, but I think it suffers from the same problem that you have in, like I said, with gun topics.

01:09:06.000 respond that like a quarter of them would say it's not OK to be white.

01:09:08.000 That that is unusual.

01:09:10.000 It's not what I would expect.

01:09:11.000 It's unusual. But I think it suffers from the same problem that you have

01:09:15.000 in like I said with with gun topics.

01:09:18.000 You'll get these polls that the anti-gun lobby puts out that says 90

01:09:22.000 percent of gun owners support universal background checks.

01:09:27.000 And the question is always, okay, well, how did you phrase the question and who did you pull?

01:09:31.000 I'm 100% confident that if I walked into my jujitsu gym and I talked to every single black person who trains there, they would look at me like I was growing a second head if I asked them this question.

01:09:44.000 And I just, it's like, If you go outside and touch grass, get out into the real world, get away from these polls.

01:09:54.000 Stop letting these polls run your life.

01:09:57.000 I can empathize with the fact that if that was really true, would your advice be valuable?

01:10:06.000 I mean, maybe, but... Is that really the way to resolve that issue?

01:10:10.000 You're going to make it worse.

01:10:12.000 We have the polling data right here from Rasmussen, 1,000 Americans.

01:10:15.000 The question they asked was, do you agree or disagree with this statement, quote, it's okay to be white?

01:10:20.000 Now, I think one of the things that people need to understand here, especially Scott Adams, is the people who responded may have already seen the media campaign that claimed the phrase, it's okay to be white, was a racist dog whistle.

01:10:32.000 Right.

01:10:32.000 In which case, that 26% may be like, I saw that in the news, that the white supremacists were putting that stuff out there, so no, I don't agree with it.

01:10:38.000 Right.

01:10:38.000 That's not like, if I saw a poll that said, is it okay to be black?

01:10:42.000 Like, I would, I would, like, I'm not gonna answer this.

01:10:44.000 Do you agree with Black Lives Matter?

01:10:44.000 Right.

01:10:44.000 It's stupid.

01:10:46.000 Could be a similar question, and you're like, I don't like the corporation, so I say no. 0.99

01:10:50.000 But you do believe that Black Lives Matter in general.

01:10:52.000 Exactly.

01:10:52.000 Sure.

01:10:52.000 If someone, the question would be, do you believe in black lives or do you believe black lives matter and

01:10:58.000 that means two things in the general sense the the the the uh proper we could say the proper

01:11:04.000 noun is do you believe organization quote bracket black lives matter and then the the the

01:11:10.000 generic is do you believe that black lives in fact matter to other people like because black lives 0.99

01:11:16.000 matters an organization that question means two different things to different people

01:11:21.000 You know, do you believe in?

01:11:22.000 Do you believe, you know, do you support?

01:11:25.000 Do you support Black Lives Matter?

01:11:27.000 Are you talking about the nonprofit or the general concept?

01:11:30.000 Whatever, we're not going to tell you, because then what we're going to do is, once we get the answer we want, and most people say yes, we then put out our answer saying, when surveyed, most respondents said they did support the organization Black Lives Matter.

01:11:43.000 And I would get when I was doing a lot of administrative minds, I'd have to look at like, is this too hot for TV kind of stuff?

01:11:49.000 And stuff would come in and say, it's okay to be white.

01:11:52.000 And then it would show like this white woman with like long blonde hair in a field with like an Aryan race symbol on the on the picture. 0.97

01:11:59.000 And it's like everything about that's legal.

01:12:00.000 But I know what they're trying to say.

01:12:02.000 Is it okay to be a white supremacist?

01:12:04.000 It's okay to be white, and it's okay to just tell everyone, I'm white, and it's great. 0.93

01:12:08.000 And like, at some point, you got to stop being racist.

01:12:08.000 Like, it's okay.

01:12:10.000 It's not okay to be racist.

01:12:12.000 Like, it doesn't matter what your skin color is at some point.

01:12:14.000 What does that mean, it's not okay to be racist?

01:12:16.000 Like, clarify that.

01:12:16.000 Just being racist.

01:12:18.000 I mean, I like talking about the difference in genetics of races and historiological I think the problem is that we don't want to implement government based on race.

01:12:26.000 We don't want to implement policy based on race.

01:12:27.000 but if you're gonna make your life future choices based on what happened in

01:12:30.000 the past that's a mistake but don't or based on what skin color people have

01:12:33.000 that I think I think the issue is I don't I think the problem is that we're

01:12:38.000 we don't want to implement government based on race we don't want to implement

01:12:42.000 policy based on race we don't want to give out loans or anything based on race

01:12:44.000 we want to judge people It's okay to hate.

01:12:46.000 based on the content of their characters.

01:12:47.000 If an individual holds a belief, I don't know if that's not okay or okay.

01:12:52.000 Morality and ideas change.

01:12:53.000 So if some guy's got really bad views and keeps them to himself, like that's fine.

01:12:57.000 You can believe whatever you want to believe.

01:12:59.000 Just don't go around hurting people.

01:13:00.000 That's true.

01:13:01.000 It's okay to hate.

01:13:02.000 It's just not okay to act in violence based upon it.

01:13:05.000 But Scott Adams is getting his, like, he's not getting published anymore because he expressed his personal opinion on his own podcast.

01:13:12.000 Like, that's just cancelled culture at that point, right?

01:13:15.000 He's allowed to have an opinion that we don't agree with.

01:13:16.000 Does that mean that his work, where that work is not being published?

01:13:20.000 Yeah, it shouldn't be cancelled.

01:13:21.000 Dilbert has nothing to do with this.

01:13:22.000 Right.

01:13:22.000 He didn't publish a poll where, like, or like a cartoon that has this poll quoted in it, right?

01:13:27.000 He did tell people to flee.

01:13:29.000 Can you imagine Dilbert coming out and being like, hey, Dogbert, I recommend you.

01:13:33.000 Yeah, he told.

01:13:34.000 Actually, it would be, I believe.

01:13:36.000 He's like, his black, white identifying character, Adam, is like, I've got to move because it's crazy out here.

01:13:42.000 He told people to segregate.

01:13:43.000 I think that's the big problem of this video.

01:13:45.000 It wasn't just him saying, this is how I feel. 0.96

01:13:46.000 He was saying, if you're white, you should get away from black. 0.99

01:13:49.000 Like, that's, to me, is insanity. 0.99

01:13:52.000 But it's his opinion, though.

01:13:53.000 Like, should we cancel him over his opinion?

01:13:55.000 Well, his stuff was only on people's newspapers because their opinion was that it was good.

01:14:00.000 Right.

01:14:00.000 But that didn't change the content of his work, right?

01:14:03.000 Like, if you had someone who mows your lawn and he said to you, like, I love communism, it's awesome.

01:14:09.000 Like, maybe you'd let him go, but also maybe you'd be like, but you do a good job and you show up on time for work.

01:14:14.000 So you can not agree with things that I believe in.

01:14:17.000 You know, a recurring theme on the show is don't give your money to people that hate you.

01:14:21.000 Exactly.

01:14:21.000 Agreed.

01:14:22.000 Don't fund Bad things.

01:14:25.000 So at this point, I'm kind of like, I don't know, if a guy came out and was like, I'm here to mow your lawn, but I'm also a hardcore communist and the money you give me... Yeah, I'd probably turn that down.

01:14:33.000 Have a nice day.

01:14:33.000 Bye.

01:14:34.000 It's hard for me to criticize because for a year and a half, we told people who voted for Biden that we literally didn't want their money.

01:14:40.000 So it, you know, with cancel culture is tough.

01:14:44.000 I mean, you have to...

01:14:48.000 I think a better way for him to phrase it would have been, look, if this poll is right and if 26% of people have an opinion of you that's obviously not going to change and is an untenable opinion, then maybe you should think about How you organize your life to avoid those kinds of people, people who think poorly of you.

01:15:12.000 Now, you can take that for what you will.

01:15:17.000 I mean, it doesn't mean that you have to move away from black people.

01:15:19.000 It means that you don't want to be around people who think that you're a bad person.

01:15:23.000 I mean, I don't want to be around people who think I'm a bad person either.

01:15:25.000 I'm not going to hang out with people who know are critical of me being in the gun industry and you

01:15:31.000 know tell me that you know your business is built on the backs of dead kids or

01:15:35.000 whatever I mean I you know I'm not gonna have a beer with that guy yeah but you

01:15:38.000 know there are plenty of people in my gym I train with who are Democrats and are

01:15:43.000 on the liberal end of the spectrum and and you know but but we get along

01:15:48.000 Like, we can tease with each other and, you know, we're friendly enough that we don't have to separate ourselves.

01:15:56.000 But I think if you're going to do something like what Scott Adams did, like, you better have all your ducks in a row because you are going to get canceled.

01:16:03.000 Well, he knew this.

01:16:05.000 He'd already said it in advance, and I think the issue is that he's almost right in that If you're talking about a group of people that outright say they don't think it's okay to be a certain race, like you don't want to live near those people if you're of that race. 0.90

01:16:19.000 So if you take the racial context out, that Scott Adams said black people or white people or anything like that, and say If 26% of a racial group said it is not okay for you to be that racial group, would you want to live by them? 0.85

01:16:35.000 Imagine if it was the other way around.

01:16:37.000 Imagine if the poll was white people asked, is it okay to be black? 0.98

01:16:40.000 And a black guy said, you got to get away from these people. 0.91

01:16:43.000 Well, the reality is they say it all the time. 0.99

01:16:46.000 These activists, not all black people, leftist activists say all the time, get away from white people, whiteness is bad. 0.98

01:16:52.000 There was one of the editors, a guy who was editor-in-chief of Art Fusion had his Twitter banner that said, down with whiteness, with a bunch of black fists. 0.95

01:16:59.000 And I'm like, all of that stuff is widely acceptable in the corporate press. 0.91

01:17:02.000 It's widely acceptable to these newspapers.

01:17:05.000 ABC News funded a Disney corporation, Univision Corporation, was absolutely 100% okay with their editor-in-chief putting up a Twitter banner saying, down with whiteness.

01:17:16.000 Okay, so when Scott Adams comes out, forgive me if I roll my eyes a little bit and don't care that much that a guy has an opinion I don't agree with, because I am swimming in the psychotic racism of the left for a decade or longer.

01:17:28.000 Yeah, I think you're right.

01:17:30.000 It just reminds me of the conversation that we've had about a national divorce, right?

01:17:34.000 Whether or not we actually formally enter a war, culturally people are pulling away from each other because they feel as though they're being pitted against one another, which is ultimately extremely destructive.

01:17:45.000 But you can't blame someone of any race if you're told this race hates you or this race is constantly oppressing you.

01:17:51.000 Why would you want to live next to them, right?

01:17:53.000 If you're fed that constantly, it's meant to keep you apart.

01:17:56.000 I'm not surprised that Scott Adam, who seems extremely depressed in this video, is like, yeah, I don't want to be around someone of this race who apparently doesn't like me.

01:18:04.000 But what kind of short-sighted mind would look at a poll of a thousand people, I don't even know if he knows how many people were in the poll, would look at a poll and then make a life decision about all people based off that?

01:18:14.000 It's just a low-hanging mentality.

01:18:16.000 That kind of mind does not belong in the forefront.

01:18:18.000 It doesn't sound like it's based off this one poll because he already has moved away, you know what I mean?

01:18:23.000 He is showing signs that this is confirmation of something he has already felt, and now you're just seeing it in hard numbers.

01:18:29.000 Like, if you have a feeling about something, and then it gets confirmed in the data, even if the data is not the best source, it's hard not to then be like, okay, I made the right decision moving away, because he's talking about it in the past tense.

01:18:40.000 I don't know, that's just my perspective on it.

01:18:41.000 I think that he seems like this is confirming something that he is already upset about.

01:18:46.000 But it's like, what kind of data is he using to confirm his suspicions?

01:18:50.000 Like, it's a thousand.

01:18:51.000 It's not good data.

01:18:52.000 But like I said, he's been slowly canceled for years and years and years.

01:18:55.000 I mean, they've been calling... Yeah, The Right calls him Klott Adams.

01:18:59.000 Was he all for the vaccine or something early on?

01:19:01.000 Super, super highly in favor.

01:19:03.000 So he gets canceled on both sides.

01:19:05.000 But I mean, I can respect him for at least speaking up as he believes.

01:19:10.000 I wouldn't call the guy a grifter.

01:19:12.000 He's just going at anybody he disagrees with and saying exactly what he thinks.

01:19:15.000 Even when everyone's yelling at him, he's like, that's what I think. 0.90

01:19:17.000 In the very beginning of that video, he was like, the thing is, all blacks, the thing about blacks, He's not even like black people blacks. 0.98

01:19:25.000 It's like a 1950s racist too. 0.56

01:19:27.000 Yeah, I think he calls them white He might he might say whites later in the video says at once blacks.

01:19:32.000 It's like a 1950s George McGovern Racism.

01:19:36.000 Oh, come on. 0.87

01:19:37.000 I don't call people You know, you feel upset about him, so you're reading more into it.

01:19:42.000 Like, if I told you, oh yeah, this guy said this crazy thing, like, you may not feel the same sort of vitriol.

01:19:48.000 Like, it seems like you have a specific antipathy. 0.88

01:19:52.000 It's very rare that well-known people come out and tell me to segregate away from black people. 0.97

01:19:56.000 It was freakish to hear this come out of a guy's mouth. 0.82

01:19:58.000 Really? 0.97

01:19:58.000 But if a black person said to you, like, I don't like being around white people and I'm gonna leave, would you be angry at them? 0.97

01:20:03.000 Yeah, I'd be also freaked out. 0.98

01:20:04.000 That's crazy.

01:20:05.000 Really?

01:20:05.000 Yeah.

01:20:06.000 Yeah, that'd be nuts.

01:20:07.000 They do it all people who actually... 0.86

01:20:10.000 Except for white liberals who hate being around white people, every racial demographic self-segregates.

01:20:17.000 I understand, like, you want to be around what you're familiar with.

01:20:19.000 To an extent.

01:20:23.000 So there are historical neighborhoods that were, by policy, created to be racially segregated, but for the most part, these days, it is all self-segregation.

01:20:32.000 I understand wanting to be around what you're familiar with, but to run away from someone is, to me, is absolutely just...

01:20:40.000 It's the antithesis of humanity. 0.84

01:20:43.000 It's disgusting. 0.92

01:20:44.000 It's not that I want to go where the people look like me. 1.00

01:20:47.000 If someone's mentality is I want to get away from the people that don't look like me, then they're crazy.

01:20:51.000 You can make your society the way you want it.

01:20:53.000 It doesn't matter what people look like.

01:20:54.000 Why is that crazy?

01:20:55.000 I mean it's just like they're afraid for no justifiable reason.

01:20:58.000 But what he's saying is they're saying they don't think it's okay to be the race that I have no choice but that I am.

01:21:05.000 The problem he's running into is that what he's really getting at is he doesn't want to be around people who don't think...

01:21:11.000 He should exist.

01:21:12.000 Rationally, or don't think that he should exist.

01:21:14.000 Yeah, they're questioning whether he should exist.

01:21:16.000 But you can't tell that from somebody based on their outward appearance.

01:21:19.000 You have to have a conversation with them and understand where they're coming from.

01:21:22.000 Hey, do you think I should exist?

01:21:24.000 I mean, like, that's not just something that you're going to ask your neighbor when you move in.

01:21:27.000 So, you know, he's taking it to the extreme and saying, well, because they're black, and that's something that I can visually see, that I'm going to decide to self-segregate from those people. 0.99

01:21:38.000 When in reality, you know, if you had a conversation with everybody on the street who was black you know probably almost nobody would actually have that opinion but he's unfortunately taking it to the extreme remember that uh not having the conversation that guy was being interviewed and uh it was like it was it was a guy and a woman and the woman says well you don't understand because you're white and he goes what he's like i'm black and she's like you are and he's like yes and then she was like i didn't know and she genuinely thought his opinion that was like david webb yeah he's uh yeah conservative

01:22:08.000 talk show host. Yep, and she didn't know who he was, so she accused him of being a white guy,

01:22:12.000 and he was like, what? It's like, what are you talking about? These people on the left,

01:22:16.000 they live in a world where race is a political viewpoint.

01:22:19.000 So if you have a conservative political viewpoint, that means you're white. But I mean it literally. 0.92

01:22:23.000 That's what they call whiteness.

01:22:25.000 They've now started saying like, Polish people aren't white.

01:22:28.000 And I'm like, Luke Rutkowski has blonde hair and blue eyes.

01:22:30.000 Well, it doesn't matter.

01:22:31.000 He is not white.

01:22:32.000 And I'm like, okay, you're basically just saying people I disagree with are white. 0.99

01:22:36.000 You know, in Scott's defense, his behavior right now is a result of five years of racialization of people saying whiteness is evil, blackness is evil, whiteness is great, it's okay to be black, like all this crap, this identity crap. 0.99

01:22:49.000 You get people like Scott, things like that coming out of people like Scott's mouth. 0.99

01:22:52.000 That corporate companies profit off of.

01:22:54.000 If you went to Target during February they had all kinds of like black is beautiful like merch and stuff.

01:23:00.000 Which like is great if you're trying to make sure that like young black kids in America feel empowered, right?

01:23:06.000 But also it does set a weird tone where you're saying like Let's talk about race constantly and constantly say, you know, don't forget that white people did this bad thing.

01:23:14.000 It's feeding critical race theory even when you want to avoid it, when you want to treat people to look beyond skin color.

01:23:21.000 You got Morgan Freeman.

01:23:22.000 I think it could be someone else just came out and said, stop calling me a black man.

01:23:26.000 Call me a man.

01:23:27.000 Like once you become successful, you realize I don't want the handouts.

01:23:31.000 I don't want the easy money.

01:23:32.000 Not Don Lemon.

01:23:33.000 Don Lemon went on TV like, what was it, a year or two ago?

01:23:36.000 And he said he wants everyone to see him as a black man.

01:23:38.000 Such a problem. 0.95

01:23:39.000 He wants it to be his race. 0.97

01:23:41.000 The other, who else?

01:23:42.000 Someone really, really, the dude from Training Day.

01:23:44.000 What's his name?

01:23:45.000 Denzel.

01:23:46.000 Denzel just came out and said something similar.

01:23:47.000 Like, just call me a dude. 0.93

01:23:48.000 Like, don't call me a black dude. 0.95

01:23:50.000 Just call me a dude. 0.97

01:23:51.000 A man.

01:23:51.000 I'm a guy.

01:23:52.000 And when you attain success, you realize you don't, you kind of start to see past that. 0.98

01:23:57.000 The skin color and all that crap. 1.00

01:23:58.000 And you realize, like, the content of your character is really what makes you great. 0.93

01:24:02.000 And so it's wonderful that people at that tier are able to speak out and claim that.

01:24:08.000 That's the way.

01:24:08.000 When you start looking at people as people, start calling Morgan Freeman a man, and not even registering his color when you're talking to him, then you're not a racist.

01:24:17.000 That's when you're actually out of it, I think.

01:24:19.000 I think people spend too much time worrying about if they're racist or not.

01:24:22.000 I feel like you don't spend enough time getting to know the people around you.

01:24:24.000 You're so obsessed with how your accents are perceived, right?

01:24:28.000 Like, you should be more comfortable with your neighbors than how the internet's gonna label you, right?

01:24:33.000 The crazy thing is how Republicans have historically been the not caring as much about race.

01:24:39.000 Like, the first black member of Congress I think was Republican, obviously.

01:24:43.000 Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.

01:24:45.000 The Democratic Party has consistently done things that just cause massive damage to the black community and the black family, even to this day.

01:24:51.000 And so, look, forgive me if I just think, like, the Democrats are substantially more... Well, I don't think Republicans are racist at all.

01:25:00.000 I think everyone's got racism to a certain degree.

01:25:02.000 You see it in those charts I was talking about where white liberals don't like white people, white conservatives have a slight in-group preference, Latinas have a slight in-group preference.

01:25:10.000 That means, like, for the most part, A white person, a black person, a Latino person, they're not going to care about any of this stuff. 0.88

01:25:15.000 They'll live next to you, they'll go to your barbecue, but there's a small percentage that prefer to be around their own race, and then white liberals, a small percentage too, prefer not being around their own race or whatever.

01:25:24.000 But yeah, I don't know, whatever.

01:25:25.000 That's what I've actually enjoyed.

01:25:27.000 One of the things I've enjoyed the most about gun culture is how it's becoming much more of a melting pot.

01:25:34.000 You know, I've been working with Maj Touré and Black Guns Matter, Basically from the beginning for like five years he's the first person that I actually sponsored and a ton of other things have come from there and you know that's something that I recognized right away was there's just a certain amount there's parts of

01:25:59.000 Culture that I'm never going to understand and So I can't speak to the things that he can speak to and so the more that you get to understand like hey We're all coalescing around the same thing Which is we believe that everybody has the right to self-defense and you have some people that are gonna focus like yeah You know a lot of these gun laws are based on racism 100% true now They know much more about that topic than I do, so it's great for me to be around them and kind of learn their origin story and learn how they came to be part of, you know, the self-defense culture and the gun rights movement.

01:26:35.000 And so that, to me, is just a benefit.

01:26:37.000 Like, that's the best part.

01:26:40.000 We went to XCAL a couple weeks ago when Luke was still here.

01:26:43.000 You ever hear of them? It's a really fantastic shooting range in Virginia.

01:26:47.000 And we're in the range and there's people of all different races.

01:26:51.000 I see a couple of black guys are shooting, some Mexican guys.

01:26:54.000 The guys right to our right are Arabic of some sort. 0.71

01:26:56.000 And I was like, look at everybody coming together, laughing and smiling.

01:26:59.000 They watched the full auto and they're all laughing and smiling.

01:27:03.000 And then one of the guys, he's like an Arabic accent, he's like, he's watching one of our people hanging out with us is firing a suppressed FN-57 or something like that.

01:27:12.000 And he's like, oh, that's so cool.

01:27:14.000 I'm like, I know.

01:27:14.000 Yeah, it's really cool.

01:27:15.000 And we're like high fiving.

01:27:16.000 That's where everybody comes together.

01:27:18.000 That's culture building.

01:27:19.000 I work with a guy who runs a group called Guns for Everyone, and he's of Mexican descent.

01:27:25.000 And one of his big things is that he prints his newsletter in Spanish.

01:27:29.000 And his aim is to try to build gun culture in Mexico where it literally doesn't exist.

01:27:34.000 I mean, you just can't get a gun there.

01:27:36.000 So the culture Doesn't exist, but he sees that as a gap that that he can bridge like that's that's his niche That's where he can provide value that other people aren't and and it's only to the benefit of all of us 0.95

01:27:49.000 I remember on Twitter, I love this one story, someone tweeted something like, Tim Pool wants to give all the crazy right-wing nutjobs guns, but wants black people not to have them. 0.98

01:27:59.000 And I was like, the hell are you talking about? 0.97

01:28:02.000 I think every Black Panther should be marching down the street, chipped with a sidearm and an AR-15, because it's their right to do so. 0.99

01:28:08.000 And it was like some lefty Antifa guy, and he responded with, based.

01:28:12.000 And I'm like, why would you assume I think they shouldn't have guns?

01:28:15.000 The, the, what is it called?

01:28:16.000 The NFAC?

01:28:17.000 The Not F'ing Around Coalition?

01:28:19.000 Aside from those negligent discharges.

01:28:21.000 Yeah, I mean, that's a big problem.

01:28:24.000 I think it's great they're marching around with guns.

01:28:26.000 Oh, for sure.

01:28:27.000 I have no problem with that.

01:28:28.000 But the negligent discharges.

01:28:30.000 Is there a limit to the amount of guns you can carry legally at once?

01:28:34.000 No.

01:28:35.000 So you could have like 30 pistols on you if you could have like 30 hands or something?

01:28:35.000 That's wild.

01:28:39.000 Yeah, constitutional carry in West Virginia.

01:28:40.000 You could carry two Barrett M82s on your back, very heavy.

01:28:46.000 Whatever you want to carry.

01:28:47.000 Yeah, a good workout carrying those things.

01:28:48.000 Have there been advancements in lightweight guns lately?

01:28:52.000 Yeah, I mean, you know, polymer technology started in the 80s, you know, the Glock was like the first brand to really start, well, actually let me backtrack, you know, that actually the AR-15 and the M16 was the first weapon that really started to use polymers and plastics.

01:29:09.000 So that was a bit, and that was in the mid 60s, but it took a while.

01:29:13.000 There's a lot of tradition in the, you know, people like steel and wood, they see it as real and what have you.

01:29:20.000 Over time, now pretty much every handgun in the $500 to $700 range is going to have a polymer frame and a steel slide.

01:29:28.000 So yeah, the advancement in technology, we're developing better polymers, we're starting to use more carbon fiber things to try to make barrels lighter in particular.

01:29:39.000 With high precision rifles, the big problem is the barrels are very thick.

01:29:43.000 And so there's a lot of material in the barrel and they tend to be very front heavy.

01:29:48.000 So what they're doing instead is using a steel liner with a carbon fiber outer wrap.

01:29:54.000 And that will provide the stiffness and the accuracy without creating something that is unwieldy.

01:30:01.000 What's that, um, uh, it's a fully auto M321 or something like that.

01:30:07.000 You know better than I would.

01:30:07.000 What is it?

01:30:09.000 Um, I'm not sure exactly.

01:30:10.000 Minigun.

01:30:11.000 It's like a full auto.

01:30:12.000 I saw a video.

01:30:13.000 M3 something. 1.00

01:30:14.000 I don't know.

01:30:14.000 Okay.

01:30:15.000 Well, I mean, I know what a minigun is.

01:30:16.000 I'm not, I don't know.

01:30:17.000 There's just a video of some like super high powered full auto with tracer rounds and it just legitimately looks like lasers.

01:30:25.000 It looks like Star Wars laser blasters just ripping through a vehicle and tearing it to shreds.

01:30:30.000 Is it the M3 grease gun?

01:30:32.000 I don't know.

01:30:33.000 No, that's old.

01:30:34.000 And usually, you know, when they load the belts with ammo, usually there's a tracer every like fourth or fifth round.

01:30:41.000 Right.

01:30:42.000 So when you see the tracer, know that there's like five or six other rounds that you're not seeing behind it.

01:30:47.000 So yeah, the fire rates are incredible.

01:30:49.000 M134.

01:30:49.000 M3429.

01:30:54.000 Maybe it's the M134.

01:30:55.000 It was really fast.

01:30:56.000 What's the M stand for?

01:30:58.000 Just machine gun.

01:30:59.000 I mean, it's like, you know, it's just acronyms.

01:31:02.000 Everything in government is acronyms.

01:31:03.000 So like most of these weapons obviously developed for military contracts, they got to come up with a shorthand acronym for it somehow.

01:31:10.000 Indicates that it has been machined?

01:31:13.000 Well, every company is different, but in that case, the M might stand for machine.

01:31:18.000 Yeah, here, watch this video.

01:31:19.000 I don't know if it's going to be too loud or something.

01:31:22.000 Oh, I just saw this!

01:31:23.000 Yeah.

01:31:23.000 What?

01:31:24.000 I thought that was a laser.

01:31:25.000 It looks like Star Wars laser blasts ripping through this car.

01:31:31.000 This isn't the video I saw earlier, but it's a video that'll just... Yeah, M134.

01:31:35.000 Six or eight barrels that are rotating, so it has incredible rates of fire.

01:31:40.000 With the buzzing?

01:31:41.000 Yeah.

01:31:41.000 It looks like a video game.

01:31:42.000 Yeah, it's like laser, it's like...

01:31:45.000 Plasma blasts in Star Wars or something.

01:31:47.000 Yeah, haven't you ever heard, you know, that's the meme is BERT, B-R-R-R-T, and that's the A-10 Warthog.

01:31:55.000 You know, they built an entire plane around a gun.

01:31:58.000 They developed the gun first, and then they built a plane that they could put the gun into.

01:32:03.000 That's the craziest thing I've ever seen.

01:32:05.000 What gun is that, the Warthog?

01:32:06.000 The A-10 Warthog is the plane.

01:32:08.000 It was developed as a tank killer.

01:32:10.000 And so they developed—General Electric developed an autocannon, they call it, and so it's actually shooting a 30-millimeter round, which is enormous.

01:32:22.000 And they're coming—I can't remember the rate of fire off the top of my head, but I think it'll deplete the entire ammunition in something like 20, it only has like 20 or 30 seconds of sustained fire.

01:32:35.000 And it's tens of thousands of rounds.

01:32:35.000 Wow.

01:32:37.000 This is the A-10 Thunderbolt 2?

01:32:39.000 Exactly, yeah.

01:32:40.000 So they just zoom in and they fire for only maybe half a second, but that's, you know, three, four hundred rounds, maybe more.

01:32:46.000 When was this built?

01:32:48.000 Uh, I don't know exactly when it was developed.

01:32:51.000 It started in 1976.

01:32:52.000 So it was developed as a tank killer.

01:32:52.000 Yeah, the 70s.

01:32:54.000 So it's shooting a 30 millimeter round, depleted uranium typically.

01:32:57.000 And so they're just zipping right through.

01:32:59.000 They fly in low, they zip through the tanks, and then they fly out.

01:33:03.000 Depleted uranium, nuclear weapons, by the way.

01:33:03.000 That's crazy.

01:33:05.000 That's nuclear.

01:33:07.000 Yeah.

01:33:38.000 I think Ian should run it.

01:33:39.000 I feel like it'd be nice.

01:33:41.000 It'd be good.

01:33:41.000 No, I think it would be very brutal.

01:33:43.000 Yeah, it would be at first, but that's only because I'm freeing the system so that you can run it yourself.

01:33:47.000 Yeah.

01:33:48.000 Alright, Rook0613 says, I just wanted to say that Scott Adams isn't wrong on any level.

01:33:53.000 With the rise of BLM, I agree. 0.84

01:33:54.000 White people avoiding black people makes perfect sense. 1.00

01:33:57.000 Except when you realize that Black Lives Matter is, the activist level, mostly white. 0.95

01:34:02.000 Literally is. 0.93

01:34:03.000 It's a whole bunch of white people marching around burning down black neighborhoods, so... Well, I guess maybe then what they're saying is true. 1.00

01:34:09.000 Those white racist Antifa people should avoid the black neighborhoods they're causing damage to. 1.00

01:34:15.000 Alright, let's see. 1.00

01:34:17.000 Ready to Rumble says, Tim ran away from black people in Chicago. 0.67

01:34:21.000 What do you mean?

01:34:21.000 No, I didn't.

01:34:22.000 When did I do that?

01:34:23.000 I've only ever been mugged by a white guy.

01:34:25.000 Like, literally had two white guys, and it was funny, the story is I was in Lincoln Park, I think, and two white guys, one guy was trailing, they did it for security, and then a tall white guy tried mugging me, and then it turned out they lived like, I don't know, five or six blocks away from where I lived, because they go to other neighborhoods to rob people, the criminals do, Maybe because you left the city, you were running away.

01:34:48.000 But I think you're an example of someone that goes where you want, as opposed to flees from what they don't like.

01:34:53.000 Also, should you stay somewhere and prove that you're tolerant?

01:34:55.000 I ran away from white leftists.

01:34:58.000 It's like, Tucker Carlson got accused of being racist and he's like, what? 1.00

01:35:01.000 That's ridiculous. 0.99

01:35:02.000 It's white liberal women I'm complaining about. 1.00

01:35:04.000 What are you talking about?

01:35:07.000 The problem with people who are mad about a race is it's like, Why is the race the issue when there are clear examples of people of that race who are some of the smartest and best people in the freedom movement?

01:35:21.000 I just don't understand why the race is the component.

01:35:24.000 The communism is the component.

01:35:25.000 It's divide and conquer, man. 0.99

01:35:26.000 That's Hegelian dialectic crap. 0.99

01:35:28.000 It's a communist manifesto. 0.99

01:35:30.000 Communism is bad, to be at odds, you know? 0.98

01:35:32.000 So like, if there is a black guy who's a communist, I'm not gonna be like, it's a black guy. 0.96

01:35:37.000 I'm gonna say, it's a communist.

01:35:39.000 If there's a black guy who's pro-two-way and conservative, and he's got an American flag, and he's waving it with sunglasses on, I'd be like, that's a base MF. 0.98

01:35:46.000 You know, and if you're feeling racist, just stare at eyeballs. 0.94

01:35:49.000 Spend some time, spend the next couple years staring at eyeballs.

01:35:52.000 Look at people, look at their eyeballs.

01:35:53.000 You realize we're brainstem creatures.

01:35:55.000 The skin came afterwards.

01:35:56.000 We're all basically the same kind of unit.

01:36:00.000 All right, where are we at?

01:36:01.000 What is this?

01:36:02.000 James Arenson says, to counter your poll, would you support a chemical weapon against China if it was kept secret?

01:36:09.000 Interesting question.

01:36:10.000 My answer is no.

01:36:12.000 Yeah, chemical weapons, that's a really bad idea.

01:36:14.000 I'm going to say no.

01:36:15.000 I'm Not Your Buddy Guy says, I'd go to war with China if it guaranteed an end to World Economic Forum ideas. 0.87

01:36:21.000 It does not guarantee that, though.

01:36:23.000 It'll probably make it worse, to be honest with you.

01:36:25.000 Yeah, they'll use the violence as an excuse to implement more harsh lockdowns, and then most people will be too passive to do anything about it.

01:36:33.000 If you have one world power instead of two world powers, then... And you have to think critically, like, if they say it'll end whatever, Don't believe them, it's not a guarantee.

01:36:42.000 I think that's the problem with war.

01:36:44.000 We have all these false promises of what it'll do, and they're mostly wrong, and there's no way they could deliver them.

01:36:50.000 Yeah, World War I, they were like, it's gonna be over by Christmas.

01:36:52.000 That was a big part of going to war for the British.

01:36:55.000 Then, you know, four years later...

01:36:56.000 Alehad says, War doesn't determine who's right, only who's left.

01:37:00.000 Ooh.

01:37:02.000 Yep.

01:37:03.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:37:04.000 says, Tim, I say no to war.

01:37:06.000 Maybe China did release the virus, but it was the U.S. 0.96

01:37:09.000 government and Democrats that instituted lockdowns, mandates, and hate for us.

01:37:13.000 There you go.

01:37:15.000 Maureen McKay says, Ukraine war?

01:37:18.000 No, Paul.

01:37:19.000 I mean, I don't think anybody supports going to war in Ukraine.

01:37:23.000 Except for, like, Black Rock.

01:37:24.000 What do you think we do first?

01:37:25.000 Go to war in Ukraine versus Russia or go to war in China?

01:37:28.000 We're in war in Ukraine.

01:37:30.000 But, like, do you think we'll focus there or do you think we would wait until that conflict resolves and then go to war with China?

01:37:37.000 I don't see how we can do Ukraine, to be honest with you.

01:37:41.000 So I don't see how we could do two.

01:37:42.000 I mean, they're already talking about huge shortages in, you know, the availability of things like weapons in particular.

01:37:49.000 I mean, like ammunition.

01:37:51.000 Right now it's large caliber, but small caliber is being affected too.

01:37:54.000 I'm already hearing about European primer manufacturers that are starting to hold back their supply because they know that there's money to be made in Ukraine.

01:38:04.000 Colt, Zipriani says my girlfriend was adamant that she never wanted kids until the day she got off birth control.

01:38:10.000 Now she is begging for them.

01:38:11.000 Interesting what messing with a person's hormones can do to their thoughts. 0.62

01:38:15.000 Birth control's poison, you shouldn't take it.

01:38:17.000 Well, there are certain circumstances where it actually is medication for people who have, like, hormonal problems.

01:38:17.000 Yeah.

01:38:25.000 That's- I mean- But, like, the idea of the mass medication of a society where they're just like, take a drug for no reason without any real reason.

01:38:31.000 And I know that there are a lot of teen girls who are told, oh yeah, you should take it, you've got hormonal issues, your hormones haven't leveled out, and they put you on birth control, but the issue is then you never address the hormonal issue, right?

01:38:43.000 Taking birth control doesn't reset your hormones.

01:38:45.000 When you come off birth control, you still have issues.

01:38:48.000 I think the problem is that people go on birth control and don't think about the alternative of exploring because it's simpler for a gynecologist to prescribe birth control than to do a lot of testing.

01:38:59.000 I'm saying that birth control is a literal medication that doctors over-prescribe.

01:39:03.000 There are certain circumstances where any medication can be properly prescribed.

01:39:06.000 But what we're seeing now a lot of is like 16-year-old girls go to the doctor and they're like, why don't you go on birth control for no reason?

01:39:06.000 Sure.

01:39:12.000 Well, and then it's years and years later when there are consequences, right?

01:39:15.000 That's the thing about birth control. 0.99

01:39:16.000 But there are people who have... It's treated like aspirin or Tylenol or something when, you know, you're playing with brain chemistry.

01:39:20.000 And you're not told the issues.

01:39:21.000 And there are people who have permanent hormonal problems because of, you know... All kinds of things.

01:39:26.000 Yeah, like ovarian damage.

01:39:28.000 There's... I'm not gonna get into the specifics of certain, you know, medical problems, but there's like cystic stuff.

01:39:35.000 Yeah.

01:39:35.000 And you have to be on it forever.

01:39:37.000 But then there are, like, the majority of what we're seeing is just, like, every single person is being told to go on hormonal drugs.

01:39:43.000 Yeah, there's always a case for medication, but I just think that we aren't talking about the consequences.

01:39:48.000 If it's the right choice for your body, you should be able to know why, not just that this is the easiest solution, that you'll avoid, you know, more minor inconveniences that perhaps your doctor should explore more seriously with you.

01:40:00.000 TechRoo2024 says, China admitted it was an accidental lab leak when they suggested someone caught it from something they ate.

01:40:07.000 Saving face is an element of Chinese culture where they admit they screwed up by making a lame excuse and everyone is expected to shake their head sadly and drop the subject. 0.96

01:40:15.000 Like with Fukushima, when they kept saying, everything's fine, everything's fine, don't worry, and the disaster was getting worse and worse and worse.

01:40:21.000 And then, you know, in the U.S., we're really frustrated, like, just admit it's not so we can fix it!

01:40:27.000 But they have honor culture, so they have to keep saying everything's fine even when it's not.

01:40:32.000 Yep, well, you know, this is what happens.

01:40:35.000 Comrade Nikolai says, hello everyone.

01:40:37.000 What I think would be better is rally our allies together and force China to cancel our national debt. 0.88

01:40:42.000 That's a reasonable deal when you consider our hundreds of dead grandparents in the lockdowns.

01:40:47.000 Ooh, they would be really upset about that.

01:40:51.000 Jeremy Hernan says, second amendment for the whole world, says the ammo salesman, lol.

01:40:57.000 That's me.

01:40:59.000 Good for business.

01:41:00.000 I'd like to think I'm more than that, but.

01:41:02.000 Did you say before you don't sell to the military, you don't sell to the cops?

01:41:06.000 Correct.

01:41:06.000 Do you mean like you don't sell to the department or like if an individual cop walked in off duty and wanted a gun?

01:41:11.000 We have no problem selling to individual police officers but we stopped selling to police departments and the reason for that is the Novi Police Department came into my business And wrote a report that resulted in us getting fined by the health department for not wearing masks in our own building during the COVID craziness.

01:41:33.000 And at that minute I just said, I'm done with this.

01:41:37.000 If it wasn't obvious before, it's obvious to me now and it should be obvious to all gun owners.

01:41:43.000 Again, not to put labels on groups, but I try to live my life by the 80-20 rule.

01:41:52.000 So the bottom line is 80% of police officers are there to work a job.

01:41:58.000 And so whether it's enforcing mask mandates or enforcing gun confiscation, probably 80% of people are going to just do what their boss tells them to do.

01:42:13.000 And I just found that to be an untenable situation.

01:42:16.000 And so, you know, it wasn't a big part of our sales anyway.

01:42:21.000 Maybe it was 10% at the time, but I could see the shift and I I'll be honest with you, most of the individual police officers I work with agree with me on it 100%.

01:42:33.000 All right, Alaskapant says, Liberia failed, right?

01:42:38.000 And wasn't it some kind of version of the U.S.

01:42:40.000 Republic which was artificially installed?

01:42:42.000 Yes.

01:42:43.000 It was also surrounded by a bunch of non-U.S. 1.00

01:42:46.000 Republic-based countries which immediately started destroying and exploiting it. 0.52

01:42:49.000 You can't... Solving a problem of, you know, crime and these issues that, like, Liberia faced is... You've got an entire continent of warring tribes and different factions.

01:43:02.000 It is a massive amount of power and influence over specific areas that you can't just come in and, like, a small colony and be like, okay, you're good, we gave you the documents, because it takes only, like, a couple decades for outside influences to come in and start ripping apart those resources.

01:43:16.000 So it's difficult, to say the least.

01:43:18.000 I'm not going to pretend to have all of the answers, but there are funny memes about roads in Kenya.

01:43:27.000 Everything's beautiful.

01:43:28.000 The streets are beautiful.

01:43:29.000 There's some of the most prominent tech development centers there.

01:43:31.000 I think it's called the iHub.

01:43:32.000 It's been a long time since I've talked to people from there.

01:43:34.000 So you can take the best part of Liberia and then compare it to the worst part of America and make America look really, really bad.

01:43:42.000 The real question is, Function of government, corruption levels, crime levels, you know, in the bigger picture, which is ultimately where polls do come in.

01:43:50.000 We're trying to extrapolate data from, you can't literally ask every single person in the country, it's impossible, so we do our best to try and figure out what is causing these problems and I think the answer is, well, The one thing I find funny about people who, you know, would say that race plays a huge component in all of this as opposed to like ideology.

01:44:11.000 I'm wondering why it is that it is predominantly white Europeans that are opening up their borders and allowing people literally to walk into their country and just start... 0.52

01:44:21.000 You know, causing the problems these people are claiming, right?

01:44:24.000 So in Japan, Japan's outright, like, closed borders, hard immigration.

01:44:28.000 Very homogenous culture.

01:44:29.000 And then it turns out to be mostly white people who are like, we're multicultural and everyone can come here and do whatever they want.

01:44:34.000 And then it's other white people complaining about the fact that white people are doing it. 0.99

01:44:36.000 And I'm like, does that mean that white people have a very serious submission problem and they're very weak and ineffectual people, incapable of defending themselves? 1.00

01:44:44.000 No, that's ridiculous. 1.00

01:44:45.000 It means there's a corrupt political ideology of communism that's destroying things. 0.99

01:44:49.000 I don't blame white people for the white liberals. 0.98

01:44:51.000 I blame white liberals. 0.98

01:44:54.000 All right, all right. 0.97

01:44:55.000 Here we go.

01:44:56.000 I'm Not Your Buddy Guy says, Will Ferrell as George Bush was funnier for opening.

01:45:01.000 Yeah, Woody Harrelson's opening was like rambly and like, it wasn't that good until he made that political point that was kind of funny, you know?

01:45:06.000 I don't know what he said this for, but he did play Biden on several SNL sketches, so I find it ironic that he's the one who's now like, making this point about the cartels and drugs.

01:45:15.000 Like, there's something there.

01:45:18.000 All right, yeah, but Trump says, Tim, you missed something about South Korea surgeries.

01:45:21.000 It's actually weird if you don't have surgery of some sort.

01:45:24.000 It's the current plastic surgical place in the world.

01:45:27.000 Yeah, it's kind of crazy that North Korea goes, you know, starvation, hardcore, like, authoritarian, and then South Korea goes full-on capitalist plastic surgery for everybody.

01:45:38.000 It's like an experiment almost.

01:45:40.000 And it's not just plastic surgery, they're one of the top beauty industries. 0.99

01:45:44.000 So any kind of treatment that you want for your skin or for your hair or whatever else, South Korea is a leader in that field.

01:45:51.000 So they are now, if you know anyone who does K-beauty, they get special moisturizer or whatever else, they're exporting this industry that they have cultivated and developed to everywhere else in the world.

01:46:01.000 Is it technocratic in that are they turning into cyborgs more there than other countries?

01:46:05.000 I don't know.

01:46:06.000 I wonder what their implant statuses are like.

01:46:09.000 Yeah, that's a good question though.

01:46:10.000 I think when it comes to like Neuralink, there's going to be some countries like, I bet China Neuralinks in two seconds.

01:46:15.000 Oh my gosh, with the government.

01:46:17.000 Yep.

01:46:17.000 They're going to be like, your social credit score drops by 300 points unless you get Neuralink.

01:46:20.000 They're all going to go, okay.

01:46:22.000 And it's for your good, because when we change a law, you'll know right away what got changed.

01:46:25.000 You'll know what law is not to break.

01:46:26.000 You won't be able to break the law.

01:46:28.000 If you ever try to, your hands and body will become paralyzed.

01:46:30.000 Your body will be collected.

01:46:34.000 You'll be like, some guy will get really angry, and he'll be walking up to you and he'll be like, You kicked my dog!

01:46:39.000 And then he'll raise a fist and then just freeze in place.

01:46:41.000 And dudes in white jumpsuits will get out of the van and pull him in, put him in the van and drive off.

01:46:46.000 No, they don't need to.

01:46:47.000 He'll just walk himself to the facility?

01:46:49.000 There'll just be frozen people all on the sidewalk?

01:46:51.000 People who are on the verge of- a guy's about to like throw a wrapper on the ground and he just stops and freezes.

01:46:56.000 They're timeouts until you calm down?

01:46:57.000 Yeah, like you freeze for like 10 seconds and then they stop and they hold it and they look around and they walk over to the garbage and put it in.

01:47:03.000 On the TV a big thing appears showing your picture and being like tried to litter.

01:47:06.000 You could get people to drop to their knees. 0.65

01:47:08.000 That's an easy thing to do to their brain.

01:47:10.000 And then just to face the imperial palace on their knees and just bow like this.

01:47:14.000 I would worry that the guy who tries to litter is feeling pain through your neural link to get you to stop doing it.

01:47:22.000 Like a shock collar.

01:47:23.000 I can't remember who was saying this, but they said, the real scary thing is that, and I think it was Phil, maybe it was Phil saying this, that when you get Neuralink, it'll do the tiniest bit of dopamine when you do something they want, and it'll give you a negative reaction, tiny, tiny bit.

01:47:36.000 And so over time, it just feels good doing what the machine tells you to do.

01:47:41.000 But then there'll be situations, exactly what social media apps do.

01:47:44.000 No one needs to tell you.

01:47:46.000 No one will need to tell you not to litter.

01:47:48.000 You'll just start doing it because you'll get a dopamine hit every time you throw your garbage in the garbage can.

01:47:52.000 And then there'll be situations where you're supposed to litter, like, rarely, you know, like, whatever, you're under command to do it or something, and it'll hurt.

01:47:58.000 You'll be like, why?

01:47:59.000 Or you'll try to throw in the trash, but it'll hurt this time.

01:48:01.000 And you'll be like, why is the thing that feels good hurting?

01:48:04.000 I'm confused.

01:48:05.000 Or what if you get, like, roving bands of people who really want another dopamine hit, so they're constantly finding places to clean up.

01:48:10.000 Yep.

01:48:10.000 So they can get, like, a hundred hits and then, like, clean up litter that way.

01:48:13.000 That'll happen.

01:48:14.000 That's legit what's gonna be there's gonna be people like picking up pulling dirt out of the ground and throwing in garbage cans because their neural link breaks and they're getting a dopamine hit from picking it up because their brain thinks this is garbage.

01:48:24.000 Something's going in the trash.

01:48:25.000 There's gonna be groups of people who are gonna be like scratching and getting that high and they're gonna be like I need that hit man and the government's gonna be like we need this house built and they're gonna be like I'll build it and as they're building like it feels so good to build.

01:48:37.000 Oh man just doing the work for free.

01:48:39.000 Yeah, it's gonna be creepy, dude.

01:48:40.000 This is terrifying.

01:48:40.000 I don't like this at all.

01:48:42.000 Get the Neuralink.

01:48:43.000 It'll feel good.

01:48:44.000 Yeah, dopamine's free, like fresh water and air.

01:48:47.000 But it'll feel good.

01:48:47.000 What's the problem?

01:48:49.000 You will be... Think about this.

01:48:50.000 What's better for somebody?

01:48:52.000 Sleeping on the streets of L.A., covered in, you know, garbage, and doing drugs and then dying, or that person Building houses and doing construction and getting the same high.

01:49:04.000 Dopamine's not free because you need to eat.

01:49:05.000 So you do need to acquire and consume to get dopamine.

01:49:08.000 So if you could do it in other ways, that'd be terrifying.

01:49:11.000 ProBot says, Scott was right.

01:49:13.000 Not all lions attack humans, but if you see a pack of them, you avoid them.

01:49:16.000 You don't stop to see which are tame. 0.96

01:49:19.000 That's funny because Daryl Davis pointed out that most serial killers tend to be white. 0.99

01:49:24.000 Name a black serial killer. 0.98

01:49:25.000 Does that mean if you see a white person, assume they're a serial killer? 0.99

01:49:28.000 And also don't compare humans to wild animals, dude. 0.61

01:49:31.000 That's the step towards what Hitler did. 0.96

01:49:32.000 Don't do that.

01:49:34.000 That meme about not all lines attack originated, I'm pretty sure, with feminists who said, if you have a bowl of M&Ms and 10 of them are poisoned, not all M&Ms, right?

01:49:43.000 Take a handful.

01:49:44.000 Why don't you? 1.00

01:49:45.000 And it's just like, that's the stupidest idea ever. 0.99

01:49:48.000 Like, feminists were doing the not all men thing, and they were like, when people were 1.00

01:49:52.000 saying not all men are bad, they were like, 10% you know, 10 to the skittles are poisoned.

01:49:56.000 Will you take a handful? That's right. Not all men. That's what we're saying. 1.00

01:49:59.000 And it's like that meme has been used to justify every type of blaming everybody other than 0.99

01:50:05.000 their garbage ideology. I'll put it this way. If I saw you talk about lions, right? 0.98

01:50:12.000 Lions—not all lions attack humans. 0.97

01:50:14.000 If I saw a group of black dudes waving Proud Boys flags and wearing the Proud Boys shirts, I would—and then I saw on the other side a bunch of people with Antifa flags, I would choose the side with the black people. 0.96

01:50:26.000 Because the ideology is the real issue.

01:50:28.000 If I was walking down the street in Chicago, and I saw a bunch of black men wearing nice business suits

01:50:33.000 and carrying briefcases and talking on their cell phones, I'd be like, whatever. 0.64

01:50:36.000 And then if I saw a bunch of white dudes, with guns, baggy pants, and like, 0.87

01:50:40.000 prison tattoos or something, I'd probably be like, well, I know what- honestly, I'd probably just walk past

01:50:44.000 them, whatever.

01:50:45.000 But like, which one are you gonna make a negative assumption about?

01:50:48.000 It's not the race that's the issue.

01:50:50.000 It's if a dude's waving a Gadsden flag, I don't care what his race is.

01:50:53.000 I'm like, oh, based, you know, Gadsden flag.

01:50:54.000 He's flying an Antifa flag.

01:50:55.000 I don't care what his race is. 0.72

01:50:57.000 He's a communist.

01:50:58.000 I think it only matters that, like, fundamentally, you don't want to live next to someone who thinks that your existence is bad.

01:51:03.000 And that's true across all races.

01:51:05.000 Right.

01:51:05.000 And so if Scout Adams' solution is to move away, like, fine, have a good time.

01:51:09.000 If my solution is to get to know my neighbors and know them on a better level, then, like, also acceptable.

01:51:15.000 But if I had a neighbor that thought I was bad, I would rather engage with them and get to know them and override that preconception than to flee.

01:51:21.000 But what if you can't?

01:51:22.000 What if they just always think you're bad because of something you have no... I've never had that.

01:51:25.000 I've never had that experience in my life.

01:51:26.000 But what if you do?

01:51:27.000 What if they just hate you for no reason?

01:51:28.000 I'll let you know.

01:51:29.000 If it happens, I'll let you know.

01:51:29.000 But I've never had that happen.

01:51:30.000 I don't think that you should have to move, but like, this is the thing that Scott Adams is coming up against, right?

01:51:35.000 Like, if he doesn't want to have to figure out Which quarter, which one in four of these people think that he is fundamentally not acceptable the way he is, then yeah, okay, move.

01:51:45.000 He's deciding not to engage.

01:51:47.000 That's cowardice.

01:51:48.000 Bretton Maybe says, watch Scott Adams' podcast from this past week and his interview with Hotep Jesus before weighing in on this one.

01:51:57.000 Scott knew this would happen before he made the statements in question.

01:52:00.000 I 100% believe that.

01:52:01.000 He did.

01:52:02.000 He made statements about it.

01:52:03.000 People had tweeted about it.

01:52:04.000 He said he knew it would be canceled.

01:52:05.000 He knew this would happen.

01:52:06.000 He was going to say it or whatever.

01:52:08.000 Yeah.

01:52:09.000 And his stuff is coming out of publication, but it's still available online.

01:52:12.000 He still has his podcast and stuff.

01:52:14.000 I mean, that's what I think people who know they're going to get canceled end up doing.

01:52:17.000 They just build offshore places to go to.

01:52:20.000 Brado Jacko says, bring on Scott Adams and Officer Tatum to discuss.

01:52:24.000 I would love to.

01:52:24.000 I actually think that would be a better thing for the Culture War podcast, where it's like a long form conversation specifically on this one issue, as opposed to like topical news of the night.

01:52:33.000 Yeah, that'd be cool.

01:52:35.000 Yep.

01:52:36.000 Fantastic.

01:52:36.000 Scott.

01:52:37.000 Yeah.

01:52:37.000 Do that.

01:52:37.000 And then make it stick around for a Friday night IRL if you do that.

01:52:40.000 Yeah.

01:52:41.000 It's cool that you have like two different ways to do that now because not everyone is you can talk about the news, but not everyone is in that format.

01:52:48.000 Right.

01:52:49.000 Yeah.

01:52:50.000 All right.

01:52:50.000 Let's see what we got.

01:52:53.000 Where are we at?

01:52:57.000 Mr. Grizzly Bear says Ian doesn't seem to understand how polls are supposed to work.

01:53:01.000 Yes, Mr. Grizzly Bear.

01:53:02.000 I try explaining to him every single time we talk about polls, but I don't think he cares.

01:53:05.000 I know how media manipulation is supposed to work.

01:53:08.000 Now I'm... You see?

01:53:09.000 Now he's playing a semantic game to try and argue against what we're actually talking about.

01:53:13.000 They create classes to brainwash people into thinking that it's... that they... When they say that it works, what do you mean?

01:53:19.000 Because when people say that vaccines work, what do you mean?

01:53:22.000 Does that mean that They stop the spread?

01:53:25.000 Or does that mean that they're just doing what they're supposed to do?

01:53:28.000 Working is a very strange term.

01:53:30.000 So yeah, the polls lay out info in the way that the poll is built to lay out the info.

01:53:33.000 For sure.

01:53:34.000 But is that value extrapolatable to the masses?

01:53:36.000 That's my argument is no.

01:53:37.000 I agree.

01:53:38.000 I mean, if you're polling an objective data point, how many people own a red car, right?

01:53:44.000 But when you're doing like qualitative, you know, how do you feel about white people?

01:53:49.000 How do you feel about black people?

01:53:50.000 I think that's where it gets sticky.

01:53:52.000 That's where data can be easily manipulated by starting with an answer in mind and then developing questions.

01:54:00.000 Or going to a specific group of people, right?

01:54:04.000 If you go to the like county meetup of red cars and everyone's like, yes, we have a red car and you conclude everyone in America has a red car, obviously that's a terrible base set of data.

01:54:13.000 The Real Hydro says, I have a clip of Ian saying that when he was in food service, he said that when people of color came in to eat, he never expected them to tip because they are poor.

01:54:24.000 Oh, I saw that super chat.

01:54:25.000 People would tell me that to expect them not to tip.

01:54:28.000 And so I would think you're racist.

01:54:31.000 And I'm I don't care if they tip me or not.

01:54:32.000 I'm giving them the same quality of service.

01:54:35.000 And that's what I would do.

01:54:36.000 And there would be times that I would get low tips from large families of black people. 1.00

01:54:40.000 And there would be times I would get low tips from large crowds of white people. 0.64

01:54:44.000 And I never stopped giving my best service.

01:54:47.000 Pull up the thing and tweet it out if you really believe I said something like that.

01:54:49.000 Because if I did, I want to acknowledge it.

01:54:53.000 Alright, we'll see you on Twitter if you said it.

01:54:55.000 AmericanGunChick says, 98% of gun manufacturers and companies only care enough about 2A to keep themselves in business.

01:55:01.000 All talk, little action.

01:55:03.000 Phoenix Ammo is one of the good guys in the fight.

01:55:05.000 Thanks for being so supportive of the 2A community.

01:55:08.000 Well, thank you.

01:55:09.000 I appreciate that.

01:55:10.000 Yeah, I mean, I would say most gun companies are part of that, you know, military-industrial complex in the sense that their customers are really government and law enforcement.

01:55:20.000 And so for us, our customer base is 100% individual U.S.

01:55:26.000 citizens, you know, the people who the Second Amendment was written for.

01:55:31.000 And that's the big difference.

01:55:32.000 That's what we've always tried to keep in mind.

01:55:35.000 Alright, let's see.

01:55:36.000 Peace in Valhalla says, Tim, you understand that genders have tendencies. 1.00

01:55:41.000 For example, women vote a certain way, but when it comes to race, Scott Adams is crazy. 0.90

01:55:46.000 Women vote a certain way, unless they're married. 1.00

01:55:49.000 They vote a different way.

01:55:49.000 It's almost like the environmental factors play a larger role on their politics.

01:55:54.000 That's the point I'm making.

01:55:56.000 So I said earlier, In my video on Scott Adams, I do believe that there's a combination of nature versus nurture.

01:56:02.000 And the people who tried arguing that race plays no role in physical characteristics, like, they're just wrong.

01:56:10.000 But I believe that nurture plays an outsized role.

01:56:15.000 We'll have a bigger role on whether a person behaves or does certain things as opposed to the family or genetics that they have in the long run.

01:56:23.000 I think what I'm trying to say is humans of all different races are substantially more similar In that, social functions will have a larger impact on them, regardless of their race.

01:56:35.000 That being said, people in Sweden tend to be taller than people in Thailand.

01:56:39.000 That's literal reality.

01:56:40.000 That's going to have an impact on whether or not people in Thailand can play professional basketball in the United States, versus people from Sweden.

01:56:46.000 Because people in Sweden are more likely, because they're much taller.

01:56:49.000 And then you actually have in the United States, I think... What is it, like... What is the percentage of the NBA that's black?

01:56:56.000 It's like 70-something percent?

01:56:58.000 I'll check it out.

01:56:59.000 For whatever reason, you know.

01:57:00.000 It's definitely a majority, if not a super majority.

01:57:02.000 I mean, there is a racial, like, there's a racial correlation for whatever reason.

01:57:06.000 That is a fact.

01:57:07.000 You know, I am not discounting the fact that people from different, people with different genetics will have different things about them.

01:57:13.000 It is what it is.

01:57:14.000 According to AlexaAnswers, Alexa, stop. 0.99

01:57:18.000 Amazon.com, it's 74%.

01:57:20.000 74.

01:57:20.000 What did I say?

01:57:21.000 74?

01:57:21.000 I was close.

01:57:21.000 I was thinking it was 74, but I didn't know for sure.

01:57:23.000 That was in 2015.

01:57:23.000 23.3% white, 1.8% Latino, and 0.2% Asian.

01:57:24.000 But I was like, I didn't know that was in 2015 grouping 23.3 percent white

01:57:28.000 1.8 percent Latino and 0.2 percent Asian, but that was eight years ago, but I I there was a

01:57:36.000 these two scientists man and a woman and he believed that

01:57:42.000 intelligence could be like trained and ingrained in a person and

01:57:46.000 And so then he writes a letter to this woman.

01:57:48.000 This is a story I read on the internet, maybe it's not true.

01:57:50.000 He writes a letter to this woman and he's like, hey, I'm pretty confident I can raise children to be genius level intellect.

01:57:56.000 So they have kids and then all of their daughters are like chess grandmasters, like champions or whatever.

01:58:01.000 And then someone said, yeah, but you need to raise other people's kids and other races. 0.99

01:58:05.000 And he's like, I'm an old man.

01:58:06.000 I'm not doing that.

01:58:07.000 Because people are arguing, they're your kids and you're a genius, therefore your kids are geniuses.

01:58:10.000 And I'm kind of like, I don't know, man.

01:58:12.000 I think if you take a Nobel Prize winner's newborn baby and drop him off in Somalia, he's going to end up not being too healthy.

01:58:23.000 He'll be more likely to be malnourished.

01:58:25.000 There's civil war, there's conflict, there's crisis.

01:58:27.000 You put him in a very wealthy, pristine area where he's getting access to nutrients and food and all the best education, and he's going to That's gonna have a bigger impact on anything else.

01:58:37.000 Nutrition, so key.

01:58:38.000 Nutrition, I think, is the number one thing. 0.95

01:58:41.000 That if you take any person of any racial background and you give them garbage food to eat, plastics and other nasty trash, they will not function properly. 1.00

01:58:52.000 Yeah, it affects the development of your brain. 0.97

01:58:54.000 Yeah, and everything else, your muscles, your height.

01:58:56.000 It's just obvious, come on.

01:58:58.000 Take a 12-year-old kid and stop feeding him and then he's gonna be short for the rest of his life.

01:59:03.000 That's North Korea. 0.86

01:59:04.000 In North Korea they're all shorter because they don't have enough food.

01:59:06.000 Their bodies literally can't grow.

01:59:08.000 Girls with serious anorexia show signs of cognitive deterioration because they're starving themselves.

01:59:14.000 Does that cycle then into more anorexia?

01:59:17.000 It creates more anxiety and different things like that, but it's ultimately extremely dangerous.

01:59:24.000 Oh, this is cool.

01:59:24.000 Brew Crew says, with the A-10, you can only shoot it for a maximum of like three seconds.

01:59:29.000 Otherwise, the recoil drops the airspeed too much to sustain lift.

01:59:33.000 Yeah.

01:59:35.000 Yeah.

01:59:36.000 In Monterrey, of course, so much that it affects the... they had to calibrate that into the computers that control the fire.

01:59:43.000 Wow.

01:59:43.000 Otherwise it would just fall.

01:59:45.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:59:45.000 And it affects, you know, how the airplane handles.

01:59:47.000 Unless they fire backwards.

01:59:48.000 Yeah, that's right.

01:59:49.000 They gotta fire from the back. 0.99

01:59:50.000 Then it'll go faster.

01:59:52.000 That's actually really cool.

01:59:55.000 The plane is no propellers.

01:59:57.000 It's actually it's a minigun in the back that uses recoil to fly.

02:00:02.000 Constant fire.

02:00:03.000 Recoil to fly. 0.86

02:00:05.000 That's a ridiculous way to do it.

02:00:07.000 All right, let's we'll grab one more here. 0.92

02:00:08.000 What do we got?

02:00:10.000 Probot says, my point was about inner city culture more than race.

02:00:14.000 But until minorities stop their racism, I don't care. 1.00

02:00:16.000 The left keeps using our morals against us, I'm ready to get into the mud.

02:00:20.000 Yep, my point is about inner city culture more than race.

02:00:25.000 I can tell you this, man.

02:00:26.000 Where I grew up, culture more than race on everything.

02:00:30.000 Gang members came in all different sizes and colors.

02:00:34.000 So it really was about the culture that was around everybody.
