Jack Posobiec fills in for Jack Murphy, who's on vacation, and joins us to talk about why millennials aren't buying houses, and why that's a good thing. Plus, a story about a conspiracy theory about the Great Reset.
00:00:00.000You This is big story that's gone that it's been going around
00:00:17.000for a little bit People have been talking about it for some weeks.
00:00:23.000It's that houses are becoming impossible to buy.
00:00:25.000But there's something strange about the story, and without getting a bit too conspiratorial, one fact is that pension funds and Wall Street and big investment firms with international interests are buying up houses at massive amounts above cost.
00:00:41.000Somebody will say, I'm going to sell my house for $200,000, and they'll be like, we'll give you $250,000.
00:00:45.000Pricing out any middle class person from the market.
00:00:49.000Houses, it's a very direct and simple way that middle class people transfer wealth to their kids.
00:00:54.000You buy a house, you get old, you die, your kids inherit that house.
00:00:58.000Now it's gonna be the middle class are permanent renters.
00:01:01.000Because all of these big firms are buying up houses like crazy, and maybe there's just... maybe it's a good money-making opportunity for these Federal Reserve-backed institutions.
00:01:09.000But at the same time, we're getting these stories where they're saying millennials regret buying their houses, and middle-class people don't want to buy houses anymore, and I'm like, why is... why are there all these articles coming out claiming people don't want to own houses?
00:01:20.000At the same time, the biggest investment firms are buying houses.
00:01:26.000At the very least, it's going to result in middle-class people not owning property, not owning wealth, squandering what little wealth they have inadvertently, and massive Wall Street companies or, you know, whatever, owning everything.
00:01:38.000Some people are saying outright, this is just part of the Great Reset.
00:01:40.000You will own nothing, and you will be happy.
00:01:43.00010 years from now, 20 years from now, the next generation, they won't have things.
00:02:33.000We don't have the Illinois boys tonight, unfortunately, but I'm happy to sit here with the other Jack, and we will be pouring out an old style for our fallen brother.
00:03:51.000The internet just shut off and I was so mad.
00:03:53.000It's like, I'm in the middle of watching Loki, man!
00:03:56.000So that wasn't like Thor Well, let's let's we'll get serious before we get started over to Tim cast calm become a member by clicking that big old members only button And then you will get access to the exclusive members only area I can only assume that tonight's members only exclusive will be a hoot a Because we got Jack, Seamus, me, Ian, Lydia, everybody's here, so it'll be a loud and raucous conversation, I suppose, talking about the things that YouTube typically doesn't want us to talk about.
00:04:27.000And when you become a member, you don't just get these amazing segments, which you don't want to miss.
00:04:33.000You're actually helping fund the expansion of our mission.
00:04:36.000So we've got a newsroom launching hopefully in the next week or two.
00:04:40.000It's going to be particularly rudimentary to start.
00:04:42.000But we're going to start bringing on journalists immediately and expanding and expanding and expanding, and then we're going to have our own news operation fact-checking these lying fake news journalists and putting out the real news.
00:04:52.000And it's going to be very, very precise and academic, and we are going to have like one of the most rigorous fact-checking operations.
00:04:58.000We're actually trying to get another... So we're going to hire fact-checkers, then we're going to hire a fact-checker to fact-check us and have them somewhere like 20 miles away so they never interact with anyone here.
00:05:08.000Then they read the articles, go through them, and we do that to try and filter framing properly.
00:05:13.000So, if everyone's hanging out and talking about everything, and they're like, that's Joe Biden admitting he's a liar.
00:05:19.000Then someone 20 miles away doesn't talk to us, hears it and says, I don't think he's saying he's a liar, I think he's saying this, and then we can also try and make sure we're doing proper framing and stuff.
00:05:41.000It's a Twitter thread where Cultural Husbandry notes, BlackRock is buying every single family house they can find, paying 20-50% above asking price, and outbidding normal homebuyers.
00:05:54.000Why are corporations, pension funds, and property investment groups buying entire neighborhoods?
00:06:00.000Well, it goes on to say it's basically the Great Reset.
00:06:02.000The middle class uses home ownership, land ownership, to transfer wealth to their children.
00:06:07.000But what happens when, during a Great Reset, or I'm sorry, during a pandemic, there's a Great Reset, as it were, of people's jobs, of businesses, everybody gets knocked out of the playing field, sort of levels a lot of people out, their businesses are closed.
00:06:20.000Family businesses, these are some of the most horrifying stories.
00:06:22.000Companies that have been around for like a hundred years, gone overnight.
00:06:26.000Now these people are going to become renters.
00:06:51.000I wish that Jack Fowler were here so we could have a conversation with him on his perspective on the matter, but I think that what is happening is terrible.
00:07:00.000I'm generally a fan of the free market, but part of why this was possible was because the government came in and they shut down the entire economy for months, and then they also printed a bunch of money inflating the dollar, and so for your average person, given the savings they had prior, it's going to be much more difficult for them to afford a house in these massive companies are going to be able to. So it's a consolidation of wealth,
00:07:22.000the likes of which I predicted would occur as a result of this ballot and as a result of the
00:07:26.000shutdown, and it has. And the fact is, people who don't own property are much easier to control.
00:07:31.000And check this out, you can't even build a house now. So this was reported back
00:08:00.000Not only that, not only has it become harder because of inflation and skyrocketing materials prices, you finally are like, well, I have enough.
00:08:20.000Yeah, this, you're absolutely right, though, this was a situation where the government said, and you see Fannie Mae deciding to want to do this to say, look, all of these people went underwater in their, you know, they, we call it remember the toxic subprime loans and the mortgages and people were buying house that they couldn't afford, etc, etc.
00:08:39.000We know who the people who were responsible for it.
00:08:41.000But we live in this strange system where the same people who are called upon to fix it are actually the ones who created the problem in the first place.
00:08:56.000And then, and the one that he actually doesn't mention in the thread, but I would throw out there, and it's just absolutely huge, and you see so many Wealthy Chinese families coming in Chinese elite CCP elites that know that their money is if it's in a Chinese banks and you've run a foul of the party if you become the new persona non grata, right Xi Jinping or whoever it is in the Politburo can reach right in snag that from you.
00:09:26.000And they know, by the way, that the market is just super hot right now.
00:09:29.000So it actually is, in a financial sense, a very fantastic investment.
00:09:33.000But it's the financialization of what is supposed to be and has traditionally been this wealth ownership, this wealth generation for middle
00:09:41.000class for working class families, that now is being completely turned into the next
00:09:46.000commodities market. You don't have landlords anymore. You've got some guy who's owning it on Wall Street,
00:09:51.000they set up like a front company to manage the whole thing, right?
00:10:09.000Doesn't, you know, call centers and, you know, mechanics that are all Aren't there a bunch of Chinese, like you mentioned Chinese wealthy people, but isn't like large swaths of land in the West just like open acreage bought by wealthy Chinese families?
00:10:25.000And this is, there's a ton of stuff that they're putting in because people don't understand that, you know, when you say CCP in China, you know, it, You know, people have this tendency, and it makes sense, that you want to put that into an American perspective, right?
00:10:40.000We categorize things by trying to put into boxes that are familiar to us.
00:10:43.000But there isn't anything like the CCP in the United States because it's, well, they say, well, you know, their government stops here and their business starts there.
00:10:59.000This is just a general strategy that they're employing.
00:11:03.000They realize that if they own this farmland, then they can control U.S.
00:11:07.000output, they can get better consumption for Chinese goods.
00:11:11.000Obviously, their consumption of this is going to be much more than us.
00:11:13.000They know that in many cases, when they were fighting back against these tariffs, That President Trump was was employing when he first got in.
00:11:20.000Joe Biden, by the way, has kept a lot of these tariffs in place because they are widely popular.
00:12:46.000This is what's scary and sort of I want to jump back to part of the discussion on real estate, but I will say this as well.
00:12:53.000I know that earlier this year, China was buying so much.
00:12:56.000They were buying up so many of the corn futures or so much corn futures that they ended up pushing the market to an eight year high.
00:13:02.000So they seem to be very interested in this.
00:13:07.000I know also that with these massive companies purchasing real estate, part of what frightens me about that, I mentioned this earlier when I said that people who don't own property are easier to control, is that we have seen payment processors and credit card companies in the past decline service to people who they disagree with politically or who are very controversial.
00:13:24.000Who's to say that these massive companies don't get woke, take a stand, and say we're not going to rent to bigots?
00:13:29.000It's almost like Bitcoin solves a lot of that.
00:13:31.000Regarding the Chinese purchase of land, so if a Chinese citizen bought land, the CCP could seize that land from that Chinese person because they're a Chinese citizen?
00:13:52.000They would have to do it through the person, right?
00:13:54.000The Chinese government's not gonna come to the United States government and be like, that legal document that says that person owns it, we own it now.
00:13:59.000They're gonna be like, get out of here.
00:14:00.000But they could station Chinese troops on that piece of land?
00:14:03.000Like, okay, if a Chinese citizen buys a piece of land in the United States, does the United States still own the land?
00:14:46.000All of the debt that China holds in the U.S., if right now, just like, you know, Joe Biden sitting there, and he just like, he's like falling asleep, and then he farts and goes, oh, I declare war on China!
00:14:57.000Imagine being like, imagine some guy being like, you owe me a hundred bucks, and then punching him in the face.
00:15:04.000My concern is if they buy up thousands of farms and then station private security all over the place, Chinese private security, and then that's just an insurgent.
00:15:13.000The goal is financial directly, right?
00:15:16.000And this is something where, you know, and I've had large disagreements with people on this very question over, you know, Are we falling into the Thucydides trap?
00:15:29.000Is it impossible to get away from war with China that we are hurtling towards?
00:15:50.000They want us to be in that consumer mode.
00:15:53.000They want us to be in that constant state of, like you said, not not owning property, not worrying about, you know, trying to generate wealth of our own as long as it's enough where we're purchasing their goods.
00:16:47.000We don't know about it a lot, but it's it's a constant thing in the mid 2000s is going on a lot.
00:16:52.000But for students to protest like that, I mean, you know, and obviously we're in very close proximity to the the anniversary of Tiananmen Square and nowhere near on that scale, right?
00:17:03.000Because Tiananmen wasn't even just Beijing.
00:17:04.000It was all over the country, but To see any Chinese students at, you know, kids in their 20s, basically, standing up against the government.
00:17:15.000The idea was they had been going to what were considered private universities, but the Ministry of Education had come in and said, Yeah, you're not going to be private universities anymore.
00:17:25.000We're going to consider you these to be vocational tech schools at this point.
00:17:28.000So it's basically kind of like, like, imagine if you had spent all the money to go to a private university, and then, you know, the government comes in and says, Yeah, that's a community college now.
00:17:35.000So you know, your college, your, you know, your degree is worth, it was worth here.
00:18:47.000PM's chilling warning on conflict with China.
00:18:51.000Prime Minister Scott Morrison, he will call on the world leaders to stand in unison against the growing threat of China.
00:18:57.000On Wednesday, he will deliver a major foreign policy speech ahead of a trip to the United Kingdom, where he'll be a guest at a meeting of the world economic powers, including the U.S., Germany, and France.
00:19:05.000Bro, it sounds like war with China is seriously on the horizon.
00:19:09.000It's not just this, not just Australia being like, yo, it's happening.
00:19:13.000I mean, obviously China came back and they're like, ah, that's rubbish, there's no war.
00:19:18.000just dispatched its Pacific fleet across the Pacific in anticipation of Chinese rocket attacks.
00:19:24.000You're talking about the aircraft or the Navy?
00:19:27.000has has has their air fleet two different bases one in japan i think in
00:19:29.000okinawa could be wrong and one in guam and there was concern that you're talking about the
00:19:34.000aircraft or the navy uh... is the air force with the airport area
00:19:38.000so they were worried that these chinese rockets would just wipe out these bases
00:19:42.000into the devil time no time to scramble it wouldn't just be the the basis be the
00:19:46.000I mean, I've gone through those scenarios when I was in the Navy, and, I mean, it basically comes down to, like, at what time would they be destroying what facility, right?
00:19:58.000has done is they've dispatched the fleet around the Pacific, so now there's, like, some bombs here, some planes there, and they straight-up said, oh, it's a, you know, in anticipation of what with China, we will not be vulnerable to these attacks.
00:20:11.000We're also seeing the Pentagon is buying up weapons specifically for naval and Pacific warfare, as opposed to Middle Eastern warfare, like drone strikes and things like that.
00:20:21.000Seems like Thucydides' trap is a given, and they recognize it.
00:20:25.000Maybe the economic stuff was an attempt to stop it.
00:20:27.000Maybe this NBA stuff was like, the more business we build up, the less likely there will be a war, and war is bad.
00:20:35.000Yeah, so I'll put it this way, that is there a near-peer competitor that would be at the most, and when I say that I mean another state actor which would have a comparable military to the United States, that the US could potentially go to war with?
00:21:00.000Even more money now after the pandemic, which they certainly played to their own.
00:21:05.000You know, I'm not one of those people who thinks the pandemic was a deliberate plot or anything like that by them.
00:21:10.000But I think it's something that once once it hit, they realized how to spin everything in their favor, financially speaking.
00:21:16.000They're positioning themselves to be the major beneficiaries of the Great Reset.
00:21:20.000They're still in bed with all of our elites, with all the Western elites, and by and large have been financed and built up by Western elites.
00:21:28.000They're essentially winning, so why would they go hot?
00:21:35.000And the only thing that I think that could potentially lead to that is if you see the actual party from the inside be threatened, if you see Xi Jinping feel that his rule is threatened, if you see him potentially weakened by rivals, then does he make a play for Taiwan?
00:21:55.000Maybe there's a bunch of protests breaking out across the country which could threaten to destabilize the social order?
00:22:03.000Well, so you were mentioning this a moment ago in the earlier segment, but just a minute ago, that these massive protests were breaking out all across China.
00:22:12.000I mean, is that something you think could make the Chinese Communist Party fear their control over the country?
00:22:17.000Potentially, but that's going to lead to internal crackdowns.
00:22:19.000That wouldn't be something that would, you know, they would want to do some kind of like, you know, external big like wag the dog type approach to anything.
00:22:27.000And, you know, Xi Jinping is starting to now get credit for essentially not, you know, I wouldn't say the return of Hong Kong, but just the control of Hong Kong, right?
00:22:37.000And if you look at those, the 6-4 anniversary, so the anniversary Tiananmen Square is June 4th.
00:22:42.000And if you look at those images out of Victoria Park in Hong Kong, downtown Hong Kong, This has always been the spot where, since 1989, the people of Hong Kong, particularly young people, particularly students, would go out every single June 4th night and hold a candlelight vigil there in Victoria Park.
00:22:59.000So there's these montage photos people have put up on the internet.
00:23:02.000where it shows that it's it's this huge thing and it's every year and it sort of became this sort of hybrid dual meaning where it's it's in commemoration of Tiananmen Square but it's also that hey we we know you don't want us doing this after 1997 the handover that okay we're part of Chinese sovereignty now under Beijing but we are still going to do this because we are Hong Kong and we are free Last year, it was an incredibly diminished crowd.
00:23:29.000All of a sudden you see this like this huge park, but it's only maybe like 50 percent capacity.
00:24:19.000I covered vaccine segregation on my main channel today because Democrats are increasingly pushing what is called vaccine segregation, so there's going to be a grand reopening of New York City.
00:24:30.000Where 70% of the tickets will go to people who are vaccinated and then 30% to people who are unvaccinated will go to special segregated areas.
00:24:38.000Madison Square Garden is doing an event where you have to be fully vaccinated so you have to have your two full doses and it has to be a few weeks after or whatever then you can get in.
00:24:46.000Whereas red states are doing the exact opposite.
00:24:49.000So I bring this up just to tie it into what we're talking about with China and the expansion and possible war.
00:25:06.000So I think what's going to happen is you're going to see a lot of people who are just, I mean, I've already heard the conversations where they're like, well, freedom is for peacetime, you know, libertarianism, liberty is for peacetime.
00:25:16.000When you're in a time of war, that's when the rules go out the window.
00:25:20.000You've got the potential for war with China.
00:25:22.000And this is what a lot of people are saying.
00:25:23.000Because we're such a free-spirited country that allows a lot of liberty, it allows the rise of subversive groups who would weaken us at a time when we're facing potential war.
00:26:01.000And, you know, it's going to be I don't know if there's any studies in this, but my guess is that would be quite quite a lot less than their parents.
00:26:09.000The generation that you are seeing come up now in China are 10 times more hyper-nationalistic than any that has preceded them, potentially since the Communist Cultural Revolution of the 1960s.
00:26:22.000Was there a noticeable change in the Chinese population after Tiananmen Square?
00:26:27.000Maybe you can explain a little bit about how many people died.
00:26:30.000It would be after the one-child policy is when you see the noticeable shift.
00:26:36.000I, part of, part of me just would love to see a simulation of what these leftists would experience should China win the economic war and any potential hot conflict.
00:26:59.000loses this economic conflict, this trade war, the economic war, or even the Cold War or the hot war, whatever it becomes, they're not going to live anywhere near as good as the people of China will live.
00:27:09.000So we can say like, oh, we'll send them to China.
00:27:11.000Well, I mean, Chinese cities, they have political problems.
00:27:14.000There's authoritarianism, but the people still live in city conditions.
00:27:17.000If we if we go to war and we lose that war, it's like then you live at the whims
00:27:53.000There's this meme where these leftists are like... I'll tell you what they think about Christianity next.
00:27:58.000There's this meme where the leftists, like the Bernie people, are like, we should put the 1% in gulags, make them break rocks for a few months so they know what hard work is like.
00:28:06.000It's like, bro, you guys don't do hard work at all.
00:28:10.000I think what they don't realize is that the things they're advocating for would put them in gulags breaking rocks so they can learn the value of hard work.
00:28:17.000They're not going to go to the guy who's working at a steel mill.
00:28:19.000They're not going to go to the guy who's a construction worker.
00:28:21.000They're just going to be like, keep working, and they're going to be like, okay.
00:28:23.000They're going to go to the intelligentsia, the college academic kids, these activists, and they're the problem.
00:28:29.000Whenever these takeovers happen, they immediately try and purge the intelligentsia who made the revolutions happen.
00:28:43.000But ultimately, I bring this up because it's like, if war is inevitable, our greatest weakness is our internal conflict.
00:28:50.000I mean, there are already people who have been superchatting us saying things like they think it's China's plan to promote these leftist, anti-American ideas, to teach anti-American history lessons, to claim the country is awful.
00:29:04.000What happens then if there's complete demoralization?
00:29:08.000and then uh... you know chinese boat crashes on the shores of santa monica on
00:29:12.000a bunch of soldiers walkout and they're like we're here to liberate you from the
00:29:15.000oppressive this is a racist white people. This is Paul Wolfowitz right? We'll be greeted as liberators.
00:29:20.000Exactly here's the thing though when we sort of talked about this the other day
00:29:23.000They didn't welcome us to liberate America.
00:29:26.000The people who would bow to the chinese government aren't really the people who
00:29:31.000would have been much of a threat had they put up a fight anyway.
00:29:36.000And there is a gun behind every blade of grass.
00:29:49.000But if we get to the point where, you know, we're all racing our embassies, fly the flags of Black Lives Matter, we're seeing Children's Show fly the Red Salute, the CCP members perform the Red Salute when they're, you know, being brought into the party or whatever.
00:30:05.000They're gonna be like, they're gonna have the flags with the fist on it.
00:30:08.000And then the leftists are gonna be like, oh, this is a good thing.
00:30:11.000And they're gonna say, we're here to liberate you from the evil white supremacists.
00:30:14.000And you're gonna have a lot of people being like, awesome.
00:30:17.000And then the Chinese Communist Party will go through every piece of social media you've ever posted, including all the people that they think are on their side.
00:30:34.000If you're if you're of no use to us, if you if you can't be put to work, if you can't if you're not in STEM fields or producing something of value, if you're not an actual worker, then you're just Get out of here.
00:33:51.000Yeah, it's literally a closet and they're like it's a bed in it I mean, I mean Hong Kong is basically like that, you know, they got these really tiny cramped apartments Now there's there's like a subreddit dedicated for these really awful tiny apartments where it's like a bed next to a toilet in a closet Well, there's there's even worse if you look at some of the illegal housing structure they have set up in Hong Kong and Beijing where it'll be these sort of like large kind of like kind of like room room right now, but Inside the room they'll have essentially what looks like steel rack bunk beds and then you can rent one of the bunks and you might be in a room with like 80 other dudes and you know here's a family that's got like two bunks right but it's like five people and that's it and you go to work and you come back to your bunk and it's like the pod would be like a step up from some of this stuff.
00:35:39.000The people who are following the mainstream media, not watching shows like this, not getting a critical thought process through, They're just gonna- Brian Stelter said it, so it must be true.
00:35:49.000They're gonna get their home taken away from some ridiculous- They're gonna say, oh no, because of COVID, we've got to take your house now.
00:36:22.000What'll happen is, people who live in New York who don't want to live under a vaccine passport, in a pod, or eating bugs, will move to Texas.
00:36:36.000Because I think a lot of people will leave these blue states for a red state, but still vote for all the horrible things that destroyed their state in the first place.
00:36:42.000They'll go like, oh, I really don't like all of these things the government's forcing me to do, so I'm gonna move somewhere where I'm more free, but then they're just gonna vote for all the same stupid stuff that destroyed their place.
00:36:51.000I don't think so, because the reason I disagree with that is the people in blue states who are for vaccine passports are happy with them and demanding them.
00:36:59.000There are these TikTok videos where the girl's like, I can't believe our governor just banned vaccine passports.
00:37:13.000They wrote this article the other day.
00:37:14.000Why aren't we mandating vaccine passports?
00:37:17.000These people are going to jump and cheer to be in New York getting locked in under these things.
00:37:21.000And people who don't like that will leave not wanting to live that way.
00:37:25.000And then you will have an actual physical divide between states and ideology.
00:37:29.000And then it's like the politicians from Washington and the politicians from, you know, Utah or whatever, or whoever else passed a ban on vaccine passports, They are going to be like totally different countries.
00:37:41.000No shared culture, completely at odds.
00:37:45.000What happens when New York says, you get Cuomo being like, we have to have vaccine passports because of the potential for a fifth wave.
00:37:53.000And then he says, we're going to have to lock down the borders like we did last time and do checks for people who are vaccinated.
00:37:59.000When the pandemic first started, they had cops.
00:38:01.000At the roads into and out of Manhattan.
00:38:03.000That's already started to an extent with this.
00:38:05.000And I think they keep changing the name of the Indian variant or the Nepalese variant.
00:38:09.000But there's already people saying that we're not sure if the current vaccines that have been rolled out will be effective against the new variant, which is always sort of like one of the corollaries with the vaccine, right?
00:38:20.000That, hey, this may not affect new variants.
00:38:23.000Well, it looks like the thing that's actually spreading across India and is now continuing may not be affected by the current.
00:38:31.000So what happens then if you live in Texas or Florida or North Carolina is an East Coast state.
00:38:37.000It voted for Trump and they have a substantially lower ratio of vaccinations.
00:38:41.000What happens if you live there and you try to go to New York?
00:38:45.000They're literally gonna bar you and be like, if you're not vaccinated, you can't come.
00:38:48.000Then you'll have but yeah, you say oh no for sure No, but like the seriousness of it is a hard divide between a very different issue than just Like, you know, you see it with gun owners right now So they have the they have like the drive-thru laws that you like I if I am a gun owner But I'm driving through a state like New Jersey or I'm driving through New York well as long as I'm not stopping and you know spending a total amount of time in that state and Then I can still have my guns in the car, I'm just driving through, right?
00:39:42.000What happens when a Texas-based sports team, I'm sure which has many conservatives playing on the team, you just don't hear their politics, and they're like, you know, I talked to my doctor, vaccine's not right for me, I don't feel like doing it.
00:39:52.000Then they're like, well, if you want to go play at the World Series or whatever against the Yankees in New York, you have to, otherwise you can't go in.
00:40:22.000Because the sheer amount of pressure that's on them because of all this and all these athletes.
00:40:28.000And you know, you look at some of these sports, by the way, where, you know, like a lot of them, they live off of the Olympics, right?
00:40:36.000You can't have the whole sport collapses without that.
00:40:39.000You know, that Olympics is held every four years.
00:40:42.000And so, you know, you realize that all of these questions are having very real consequences now, right now, in real time.
00:40:50.000And are we going to get to a situation where, I mean, I think, you know, you think of like, like the late night comedy, oh, those people in Texas, they won't come up, you know, imagine how insufferable Jimmy Kimmel is going to be.
00:41:04.000Once that starts, but imagine then how radical.
00:41:07.000So if Jimmy Kimmel is the leading edge of it, right, then how radical will they, even the more radical people become towards people from, you know, somebody walking down the street with a, you know, a cowboy hat on.
00:41:21.000So Bill Maher said a while ago, we're going to tone down the attacks against Trump and his supporters because it could very well lead to a civil war.
00:41:29.000Bill Maher actually said that on the show.
00:41:33.000Later on, he said there can't be a civil war because the Mason-Dixon line would go through Nana's Kitchen or something like that, which is like a really dumb statement.
00:41:42.000It's like he thinks time stopped the moment he said those words.
00:43:03.000There's a story from NPR that shows if you look at all of the states on a scale of the highest per capita vaccinations to the lowest, there's a line right through the middle.
00:43:40.000All the Trump-supporting states are lower on the vaccination per capita.
00:43:44.000And the states that were like really close and were being contested are also slightly lower.
00:43:48.000And then all the hard blue pro-Biden states, totally like high, 70%, 75% vaccinations.
00:43:55.000So Washington, they're now rolling out vaccine passports.
00:43:58.000New York, we're going to see it everywhere.
00:43:59.000But what's happening is it's not a hardcore thing where they're like, you know, California isn't coming out and saying you must have a vaccine passport or else.
00:44:29.000We had some guests here, and I'm not going to say who they are because I don't know if they've announced they're moving to Texas, but they're like, yeah, I'm moving to Texas.
00:45:25.000I think Ivanka did it publicly, so I took a picture.
00:45:27.000She did it publicly, but then Trump... They said he was vaccinated and Melania before they left the White House, but they never really made a big public thing out of it.
00:45:54.000The Excelsior system is going to track your medical history, period, and your age and a bunch of other things, which means they could actually say, like, you can't be over 55 to come in here, scan your Excelsior pass.
00:46:03.000They're like, they're really getting into this.
00:46:05.000So let me go back to what I was going to say earlier, is that You know, people are generally tribal, right?
00:46:13.000You know, that's how humanity developed, you know, with these bands of tribes.
00:46:17.000And then as cities and then city-states started to become more developed, your tribe expanded, right?
00:46:25.000And so if you look into, I think we're all generally millennials slash elder millennials.
00:47:12.000But then, you know, really starting past 2008 and, you know, I don't make this an Obama thing, but like, I think it's a word of financial as well, that with that financial instability, that you saw a breakup of that idea.
00:47:27.000And so because in in times of scarcity, right, the tribes get smaller.
00:47:33.000And you're because we're looking, you know, we're thinking instead of this, these these abundant You know, this idea that the future is always going to be great, we're looking at the next frontier, we're setting space shuttles up all the time, right?
00:47:47.000Now, I take my kids to Cape Canaveral, the space shuttles are in museums, and Elon Musk and Bezos are like doing something, but we're not really sure if it's real or not, you know?
00:47:57.000It doesn't feel the same, or it doesn't have that same sort of national ethos behind it, the same way that the space shuttle program did.
00:48:03.000And there's this question of, like, what team am I on?
00:48:08.000Or some people question, are you the left or the right?
00:48:10.000You know, I don't even remember anyone talking like that when I was younger.
00:48:14.000It's like, yeah, you know, I voted for Democrat.
00:48:15.000I voted for Republican this time because I like this team better.
00:48:20.000But there wasn't this idea that, you know, you had to be on one side all the time, 24-7.
00:48:27.000And so the question, you know, really psychologically speaking is, is that something that's downstream of economics?
00:48:35.000The same way that, you know, we say politics is downstream from culture, but is culture downstream from economics?
00:48:39.000Yeah, I mean, it's obviously all really intermingled, but there's something interesting there about resources contracting and then people really wanting to almost oust people from their side.
00:48:48.000It's almost like this biological response.
00:48:50.000There's less for all of us, so we need to find a reason to expel people so that there's more for me.
00:48:55.000And I think, ironically enough, that actually exacerbates the problem, too, because the less people are working together, the less able they are to build up the economic resources that would allow for them to not have to oust people.
00:49:05.000You know, historically, part of what would get people ousted, too, is getting sick, illness, communicable diseases.
00:49:11.000You know, you throw them out of the castle.
00:49:24.000Now, it's really interesting, though, because something I just said a moment ago, I want to walk back a little bit or at least expand upon, because I mentioned that when you start ousting people or purging them from your group, people aren't working together, so you're less likely to develop the economic prosperity.
00:49:40.000That would be necessary for people to live in harmony, but I wonder if that's a correction mechanism because it's very much possible, and I would say probably a concrete fact, that once people are really economically prosperous, they become much less selective about the kind of behavior that they're willing to tolerate.
00:49:54.000We see this in very developed countries.
00:49:57.000The moral fabric tends to begin to dissipate.
00:49:59.000And so maybe hard economic times are a correction mechanism for that and people sort of returning to a structure where they are more selective about the kind of behavior they'll tolerate because it can't continue forever with anyone doing whatever they want or else the entire system gets destroyed.
00:50:15.000It was bad morals that got us into this economic returning place, it seems like.
00:50:18.000Something really weird happened in the past five years with a dramatic cultural shift.
00:50:24.000And it's funny, we bring it up from time to time, but left and right are meaningless at this point.
00:50:33.000I've said this before, I do think that the left in many ways are descendants Of the initial left, when I just look at this main common threat from the left at the time of the French Revolution, when the term was first coined, has always existed to oppose the Catholic Church and its values in battle against tradition.
00:50:51.000And that's still true today of the left.
00:50:52.000But there's this really strange shift that happened.
00:50:55.000So just before the show, I played the song Hit That by The Offspring.
00:51:00.000And I'm like, if you listen to those lyrics, it sounds like a very conservative song.
00:51:03.000It's talking about the consequences of hookup culture.
00:51:07.000And I'm like, if you were in an article right now, no joke, take The Offspring, punk band, pop punk, mainstream, whatever, but this is 2003, take that song.
00:51:15.000Take the lyrics and turn it into an article.
00:51:18.000So when they say like, you know, the consequences are a life away, you can say like your work work.
00:51:23.000Imagine putting into like a relationship article.
00:52:16.000So, you know, that whole bit sort of, you know, everybody under 40 knows that this all started with Harambe, but we're not sure why.
00:52:24.000You know, but actually I was talking to a friend of mine recently who shall remain nameless, but he actually had a good answer for why we all sort of agree that it's Harambe and what You know, he looked at Harambe as a symbol of society is just subtly out to get you and they will just kill you for no reason.
00:52:47.000Even though, not to get into whether or not Harambe should have been killed, but you know, because the kids in there and all, but that just sort of the larger meta narrative that's going on there, that you could be hanging out one day and that society will just come and boom, like a meat cleaver.
00:53:01.000I hear the theory, I respect it, but I think the more obvious theory is just that Harambe was an interdimensional Time Lord who was holding together the multiverse.
00:53:09.000No, no, this is for the members thing.
00:54:01.000Look man, do we have a conspiracy fact at some point?
00:54:06.000I saw a really funny meme from somebody where it shows, it was like 2018 and it was like conspiracy theorists and it's a picture of the guy like all crazy.
00:54:14.000And then the next picture says, it says 2021 conspiracy analyst.
00:54:18.000He's wearing a suit and glasses and he's all like respectable looking.
00:54:21.000Because, okay, so now what do we have?
00:54:23.000Behind the scenes, Fauci and Big Tech and these labs were all saying things they were saying the opposite of publicly.
00:54:29.000Like, at a certain point, is there at least... Can we call it, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being, like, the least and 10 being the worst, it's a level 1 conspiracy?
00:55:02.000If there is one thing I learned over the past five or so years, it's that something can very quickly go from conspiracy theory to fact.
00:55:10.000I mean, if you asked me at the beginning of Trump's administration if the deep state would attempt to unseat a democratically elected leader, I'd be like, come on, that's crazy talk.
00:55:18.000And then if you asked me if there was an international global pedophile who had ties to virtually every politician in the country, or a large number of them, I'd be like, that seems a little bit out there.
00:55:27.000And then if you told me the guards would fabricate records and fall asleep or whatever, and then he would die in his jail cell, I'd be like, get out of here, dude.
00:55:39.000That one, I'm like, have you ever been around the federal government before?
00:55:44.000I do want to say one point, just don't forget what you're going to say.
00:55:46.000We shouldn't, okay, we got to call it, when you put out the theory, you're bunking, and then the journalists will try to debunk, and then after they're proven wrong, it's re-bunking.
00:56:16.000And I'm not big into conspiracy theory by any means, but it's just disturbing to see so many things that I would have shrugged off years ago as insane nonsense being proven totally correct.
00:56:26.000Well, so, you know, a lot of this, you know, I think comes down for a lot of people.
00:56:30.000So I remember those initial task force meetings that, you know, Fauci was airing and sometimes Pence would be leading it.
00:56:38.000Sometimes Trump would be there and it would, you know, get into a huge Um, you know, combativeness with the media, and they would be asking him all sorts of awful questions, etc, etc.
00:56:46.000But I actually would pay attention to Fauci and Burks, who is like totally gone now.
00:56:50.000When they were talking about this, and why is, you know, why is it that COVID-19 spread so quickly?
00:56:57.000You remember, we were always told it's the spike proteins and the ACE2 receptors, and it's the ability of the spike proteins to affect these ACE2 receptors in human lungs, and they fit so perfectly, and that's why it's able to spread so well in humans, right?
00:57:12.000You get the droplets on you, and that's it.
00:57:27.000And, and then when the Wuhan lab started coming up and we started looking into this, they took down their database very quickly, but we were able to find archived copies of this now.
00:57:36.000And some of it I'm reading in Mandarin, some of it we're able to translate.
00:57:40.000But when you're looking at some of the actual.
00:57:44.000tests and research that was done and has been published in the literature.
00:57:48.000You say, well, okay, what, what, you know, what is gain of function research?
00:57:51.000The heck, a year ago, I couldn't have told you what that meant, right?
00:57:57.000And you say, well, they were trying to, they modified mice to give them this ACE2 receptor in their lungs.
00:58:05.000And then they were using gain-of-function research with, to essentially speed up the development of these coronaviruses that they had, you know, collected from this mine, an abandoned mine or cave system in a Kunming area that had spike proteins to, so that they would have spike proteins.
00:58:21.000And I had said, Huh, wasn't that the same thing that the guy was talking about before with the two and you know, right?
00:58:28.000This is me just complete layman here, but these are the same two terms that I just heard from the task force meeting.
00:59:06.000I read that article, I shared it today, I shared the study, and... But as a guy who had spent a couple years living in China, I'm familiar with the wet markets, it always seemed completely insane to me that people would eat food that came out of these things.
00:59:37.000There are times where I'm eating street food where they're like, hey, I know you're going to lie when I ask you what kind of meat this is, so just don't even tell me anything.
00:59:51.000Not knowingly, not deliberately, not intentionally, certainly not intentionally.
00:59:58.000There was, I remember there was one place in Shanghai and a couple of the guys I was over with, you know, when I started out doing a study abroad there and then I ended up staying, but there were a couple of guys who went in and said, Hey, I had dog, right?
01:00:23.000How can you really tell that there were no bats or no pangolins at all in this market?
01:00:29.000That just, to me, that sounds like a bridge too far.
01:00:31.000And I know that it certainly kind of fits in with what everyone's been saying.
01:00:35.000And I think there's actually a lot better evidence to talk about.
01:00:37.000For me, the one I can't get past in terms of lab leak theory is How do you get a disease outbreak that's directly related to bats, or at least bats with one, what do they call it, transmission vector animal in the middle, without it affecting any local populations that live in close proximity to any of these things?
01:01:02.000You're talking about the middle of a downtown urban center.
01:01:05.000And I've read some of the, you know, like the Nature Journal articles talking about this.
01:01:08.000They say, well, you know, Wuhan's in a, it's in a, it's in a broad region.
01:01:29.000Like that's what I'm waiting for that I'm looking at.
01:01:32.000Let's talk about a crazy, uh, I hate the word conspiracy theory because what I'm going to describe right now is not a conspiracy in any sense of the imagination.
01:02:07.000You know, I'm willing to bet that there's some, like, NSA guy sitting in his room right now watching the show, because he loves it, and him and his buddies are just, like, drinking and laughing, being like, they're so wrong about all of this!
01:02:17.000China's on the moon, and we've got, you know, underwater bases, and...
01:02:22.000I'm not saying it's actually that crazy.
01:02:24.000Having been in that world, you know, I hate to say that, but like, I can't, I'm not allowed to confirm directly, blah, blah, blah.
01:02:31.000But it's, it's not, it's not that, it's not that far removed from reality.
01:02:37.000I'm just saying like, it's pretty close.
01:02:45.000We're not going to publicly say what we're doing with our Air Force.
01:02:48.000That's what confused me about how they told us that all the Air Force is now spread out around the Pacific and that we're re-diverting a weaponry from Middle East to China.
01:03:15.000You can even see this on a smaller scale where like, when the Syria strikes were going on, or and then you know, the US kind of telegraphed that, hey, we're probably going to strike there.
01:03:33.000A lot of this stuff gets gets done on a very regular basis.
01:03:36.000It goes back to even the Clinton administration when when China threatened Taiwan during some of their first presidential elections or some of the more contentious presidential elections.
01:03:46.000You know, you would see this, but it it doesn't necessarily mean that it's leading towards kinetic action.
01:04:15.000Joe, the second one, where Cobra Commander takes control of the satellite, and then it drops a tungsten rod, which then slams into the earth and blows up London.
01:06:11.000So it's like, when you look on the map, it's just like, you can't really tell because DC's massive and we're just like a tiny little blip away.
01:06:19.000But mountains, trees, it's like basically West Virginia.
01:06:24.000Just a bunch of, you know, Trump-supporting, you know, right-wing nutjobs who live out here for the most part.
01:06:29.000Well, did you see that tweet from Virginia Heffernan from the LA Times earlier today talking about the gun ownership for the 50-mile radius?
01:06:38.000No, she was saying she was saying, I think I guess she was like buying a house or just looking at this this issue.
01:06:45.000She's talking about she's totally ridiculous.
01:06:47.000She's the one who had the Trump supporting neighbor who was shoveling her lawn and she was like, or something or driving like, I don't know if I should thank him.
01:07:02.000I mean, it was white snow, so, you know, and perhaps he's building some sort of, you know, snow wall.
01:07:08.000So no, she had a tweet up today where she was saying in real estate listings, they should, this is the LA Times columnist, she's worked at Wired, that they should include how many people own guns around you for a 50 mile radius.
01:07:23.000And then, you know, correct me if I'm getting any of this wrong, and then include a list of all the mass shootings
01:08:42.000Neighbors are just, you know... I'm worried about the neighbors, man.
01:08:46.000Yeah, one time I think one of the neighbors came out with his kids because it was just like, sounded like, it sounded full auto, but it was just like four people just shooting all at the same time.
01:08:57.000There's places in West Virginia where you can do that.
01:09:01.000Some of the training I did when I was still in the intelligence community, we did out in a spot in West Virginia where they were able to get licenses and permits to shoot.
01:09:19.000There's a thing they do at DEFCON, which is the Hacker Convention, where in the early days they go out into the Mojave and they set up a bunch of guns.
01:09:30.000And when I went there several years ago, that was like 8 years ago maybe now, This guy had a, like, belt-fed 7.62, I think.
01:09:37.000And it was like, you gotta pay for the rounds yourself, and then have at it.
01:09:42.000So he had big boxes of, you know, belts, and it's like... M24?
01:09:56.000We did that this place down with Ashley St.
01:09:59.000Clair, and we were outside of outside of Houston.
01:10:01.000They call it Hella Bacon, where you can you you can actually get permits to go up and do this.
01:10:06.000And a company that runs it is totally not commercial, et cetera, et cetera.
01:10:10.000But you so they do one range day where you can just I mean, anything you want to shoot, literally anything up to and including a minigun RPG.
01:11:00.000But it's wild and people don't realize the culture difference because On your way to these ranches, you know, you're, you're flying there and you're up in the air above, you know, I'm looking down like this.
01:11:39.000It's open season on them basically everywhere where they exist and they still can't keep the numbers down.
01:11:43.000We were up there for hours and they just kept coming.
01:11:45.000Yeah, we just had we stopped because we're running we're running low on fuel and we're like well We got flight out any anybody who's familiar with any kind of MMORPG knows that you know, there's hogs.
01:11:54.000They're just responding Level up, you know, so I know so my level I mean I came in pretty low like I was like a level as Much South Park got this wrong You can't just kill hogs boars to level up because as soon as once you're a few levels above them You stop getting experience for doing it You were well-rested though, so you got an XP bonus?
01:13:32.000I think they typically would be like, the butterfly is an important pollinator and it's beautiful and a part of nature and it shouldn't die to a spider.
01:14:17.000Valley Forge Park was always a huge place for us to go on weekends.
01:14:22.000Ended up actually got engaged, got married right near there.
01:14:27.000But because it's federal protected, it's a federal park, a national park, the deer know this.
01:14:32.000And so they know if they go in, they go in there.
01:14:35.000Well, they know that this is like a safe area, right?
01:14:39.000So you get to the point where, I mean, when it's dusk, you like can't drive around, right?
01:14:43.000Because the deer are everywhere and they're tearing up all this stuff.
01:14:47.000And a lot of the land right there, that's actual, you know, some of it, it's some of these dirt forts and different fortifications that were made by the actual continental army under George Washington during that winter.
01:15:01.000Philadelphia has fallen, the British have taken it.
01:15:03.000This is prior to the crossing of the Delaware and the Battle of Trenton, or just before that, I should say.
01:15:11.000These deer are tearing up actual US history, and this is Pennsylvania, so people are like, Can we go after the deer, please?
01:15:20.000And the federal government had to do this whole like permit system to let people go in and then hire guys from like the USDA to come in.
01:15:27.000So there's actually like a deer death squad, basically.
01:15:31.000I believe it's under USDA from years ago.
01:17:43.000But we were told that on this side of the river, because if you guys have ever played any MMORPG, you know that certain mobs can only spawn on certain sides of the river.
01:17:53.000Yeah, like, if you're in Elwynn Forest, you know that the boars and the gnolls don't spawn in Darkshire, and the ghouls don't spawn in Elwynn.
01:18:00.000So, uh, across the river from us, there's, like, bears, and it's, like, way more serious, because it's West Virginia, but in the Maryland side, they're, like, you don't gotta worry about anything.
01:19:10.000Given that situation, I mean, you know, I have a good military background, but I've never considered myself to be like, you know, like, There's certain, I don't know, like, as you call them influencers, pundits out there that are like really focused on Second Amendment and shooting and like that's their whole thing.
01:19:29.000I've always been more like the current events, breaking news kind of guy, but just to, you know, defend the AR-15 for a second, right?
01:19:36.000that you're talking about a firearms platform, where the reason so many people use it is because it is versatile.
01:19:44.000And because it is something that has a great accuracy for someone who is a hobbyist for someone who is, you know, just getting kind of getting into guns, that you're going to have a better propensity for actually hitting your target rat rather than you're using like, like a Glock or a .45, any 9mm, any handgun, right?
01:20:06.000Certainly at a greater distance, right?
01:20:09.000You are going to put your rounds on target in a safer, more controlled situation with an AR-15 than you would with almost any other firearm out there, speaking generally.
01:21:05.000And so they say... I was in training for Gitmo back then, so I missed a couple.
01:21:09.000All Empire State shooting victims were wounded by officers.
01:21:12.000On a busy Friday morning in Manhattan, nine pedestrians suffered bullet or fragment wounds after police unleashed a hail of gunfire at a man walking with a .45 caliber pistol who had just killed a former co-worker.
01:21:23.000The officers unloaded 16 rounds in the shadow of the Empire State building at a disgruntled former apparel designer, killing him after he engaged in a gun battle with police, authorities said.
01:21:33.000Three passerbys sustained direct gunshot wounds, while the remaining six were hit by fragments, according to the New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.
01:21:44.000One officer shot nine rounds and another shot seven.
01:21:47.000Police identified the gunman as Jeffrey Johnson, 58, who was apparently laid off from his job as a designer of women's accessories at Hazan Import Co.
01:22:10.000I mean, you can never say right, but if they're going at range and this guy's moving, if he's, you know, if he's being furtive, if he's trying to, you know, use cover and concealment, they would have had a better, just talking based on the numbers, they would have had a better chance of hitting him directly with the AR-15.
01:23:07.000This is a good example of, like what you're saying.
01:23:09.000That's exactly what I'm talking about, yeah.
01:23:11.000It's not just the idea of militarization of police.
01:23:13.000It's the idea of AR-15s are dangerous!
01:23:16.000It's like, dude, people with handguns?
01:23:19.000I'll admit, maybe it's just me, but rifles way easier.
01:23:23.000I go to the range and I can hit everything with the AR-15.
01:23:26.000Well, you've got a longer barrel, so it's more stable, it's more forgiving, basically, for those little mistakes.
01:23:36.000With a 4-inch barrel on a handgun, you've got to be front sight focused, you've got to be dead on, you have to have your T all the way across.
01:23:44.000Real quick, this is what people don't understand, is that they assume an AR-15 is firing 5.56.
01:24:15.000And this is what that judge actually in California recently who struck down the, the firearms ban, the assault, quote unquote, assault weapons.
01:24:22.000Yeah, which it's funny, because like, I'll go to like, you know, any, any gun store online, you type in assault weapon, I can't tell you, I don't sell defense weapons.
01:25:24.000They're using it safely for lawful legal purposes.
01:25:27.000This is exactly what I've been trying to tell people about my Barrett M82.
01:25:30.000You know, like, what happens if, like, I don't know, an international band of terrorists that, like, the Fast and the Furious crew, they're fighting, and I see this helicopter, and I'm like, look, I gotta protect my property from this international cabal led by Charlize Theron, and so I've got a 50 BMG.
01:25:47.000And she's not gonna be able to hit you from the helicopter.
01:25:50.000I do love this though because like we posted the vlog where I have the Barrett and it's a 50 BMG and we were shooting at a plate or whatever and then these lefties are like, what are you gonna hunt with that?
01:26:00.000And I was like, what does hunting have to do with anything?
01:26:43.000I also got to at one point with one of these things and they just buy these junk cars for you to be able to use and for tactical training they actually got one of the trainings we went through was firing a firing handgun from the driver's seat through the windshield at a target Oh, yeah.
01:27:00.000So learning how the difference of the angle of the windshield versus, you know, your target.
01:27:32.000You can actually hear, and I'm guessing it's some security who's there with like, it was like some British or foreign reporter and he doesn't know what to do.
01:27:41.000And here's this guy just go, get behind the engine block.
01:30:01.000So for people who don't know, a pit maneuver is when you use that, again, as I was talking about, that weight, that imbalance that exists in all cars that, you know, except for the, you can still do it, but the ones that don't have, some cars have the engine in the rear.
01:30:19.000So another reason to have Elon Musk on.
01:30:24.000And so you use that weight of your engine block to essentially smack the back of another car and have it spin out of control.
01:30:33.000Now in the proper setting, the car is just supposed to spin around so that it can't travel forward and then it stops the vehicle, stops forward progress.
01:30:43.000What happens here is he attempts a pit maneuver while the car is already close to the shoulder, right?
01:30:50.000So that's one of those like a Derek Chauvin thing where like, is that how they teach you to do a pit maneuver?
01:30:56.000Because where's the car going to spin?
01:30:58.000It's obviously going to smack into the shoulder, which it does.
01:31:02.000Then crosses the lanes, hits the other shoulder, head on, the car flips, it's an SUV, flips over, so already a lot of weight imbalance issues inherent in SUVs.
01:31:11.000I used to drive an H2 over this radio station I worked for, and it was like the worst possible thing to ever drive in, right?
01:31:19.000Any conditions, and this thing's like wobbling all over, like you never, the death traps, absolute death traps.
01:31:25.000But hey, billboard on wheels, right? And so he gets out of the
01:31:29.000car and he's like strolling up to this thing where, you know,
01:31:34.000and it's one of those look, I you know, I don't know he was thinking I don't want to describe intention based off a
01:31:39.000video but looks bad looks looks really bad looks really bad that
01:31:43.000he does not seem does not seem very, you know, worried that you
01:31:49.000know, he's just flipped a car over and potentially somebody could be injured, dead, or anything.
01:31:55.000And in, I'm certainly, I'm sure this will come up in the case, but he also doesn't seem to perceive a threat because he doesn't, and I go back and watch the video, but he doesn't appear to have his gun drawn.
01:32:04.000And he's, you know, he's not thinking like, oh, this is some hardened criminal that, you know, I have to be worried about.
01:32:32.000So she sped up to pass him, to get into the right lane, to exit rather than slow down, to get behind him, to exit.
01:32:38.000Like that's an awkward situation where you need to exit and someone's on your right.
01:32:40.000And you got to either, well, I don't think there's an exit at all in the video.
01:32:43.000I don't think there's any exit that comes up.
01:32:46.000Like there's nowhere for her to go basically.
01:32:48.000And it's one of those ones where it's like.
01:32:51.000At that point, if that were me, and I know that there's a cop behind me with his lights on, I would just pull over on the shoulder.
01:32:59.000If I really couldn't find anywhere, because I know that other cars are going to see that, and I'm not getting out of my car anyway, so if he really wants me to pull over and there legitimately isn't anywhere to go, I would just pull over on the shoulder.
01:33:11.000Well, how about we take Super Chats, everybody?
01:33:13.000If you have not already and you like the show, you gotta smash that like button.
01:38:29.000Listen, Sky Matheson never tells anybody where the game's gonna be, but the action's always here, and the action's always here in the Tim Pool House.
01:39:16.000And also, for people who support the show at patreon.com slash freedomtunes, you can watch the behind the scenes of us recording and crying laughing.
01:39:23.000We used this setup right here to do the VO, because after the show finished, I was like, oh, Seamus, do you have that VO you want me to read?
01:39:29.000So we just turned the camera on and filmed it and you can hear Seamus being like, say it like this, say it like this.
01:39:33.000And I'm like, okay, and then I redo it.
01:39:35.000The whole thing is great because it's like, it's like the, it's like a kid and he's breaking up with Dr. Fauci.
01:39:41.000It's like, I don't want you in my life anymore.
01:39:43.000And he's like, if you break up with me, your grandmother will die.
01:39:48.000Don't get talking about you're always hyperbolic don't don't give too much of it away you guys Give away, we won't give away the surprise and I think there's a sequel that's maybe it's right Oh, yeah, we we literally improvised a sequel right after we recorded it and we honestly I think that was even funnier like this one's really funny, but like I Yeah, we I think we were like really crying laughing We were just like coming up with everything on the spot It was and then as as we were walking away James like no I got to record one more thing He runs back and starts recording again.
01:40:22.000I did yeah Like what if Trump said this and then Tim gave it I'll say this yeah, it was very it was very organic.
01:40:38.000You can make a capacitor thruster out of a SI slash graphene wafer and a laser mirror based on quantized inertia theory and the McBecker and Bott Capacitor Thruster XP.
01:42:42.000You know, I tried to do like a bike ride with my kid once a day, and we'll go under the tree.
01:42:47.000And it's just like, And I saw it was so brutal because someone here collected a bunch of a bunch of Cicadas in a jar to feed to the chickens and they just got thrown into the little chicken area and city the chicken city and they're just laying on the ground like
01:43:07.000Like screaming and the chickens are just massacring them.
01:43:11.000Like one chicken is like picking up a cicada and like shaking it around as it's screaming.
01:43:14.000I was like, I'm like, you know, this is why I don't feel bad when I eat chicken at all.
01:43:28.000The, the, so, uh, if you don't know the story for like years, Wikipedia had a section where it claimed I invented a Zeppelin for live streaming, which I never did.
01:43:35.000And so it finally got removed because they were like, what's the source for this?
01:43:39.000It's like one article from the Guardian.
01:43:40.000So then I was like, just to make a point, I'm now going to actually do it!
01:43:59.000You will create like a, like a disclaimer paradox where the disclaimer for the original article that they will have run, they'll need to also disclaim, but in the context of a large, like it'll just be an entire writing story.
01:44:16.000But actually now it's true because he decided to one-up us.
01:44:20.000So this is like what the Beatles used to do with the Paul is Dead stuff.
01:44:24.000So it started as just sort of this thing that a bunch of hippie kids at some US college had gotten into.
01:44:32.000They thought they were secret messages in the Beatles songs.
01:44:34.000Yeah, if you play it backwards it says Paul is a dead man, I miss him.
01:44:38.000But then the Beatles found out about it and they were like, Oh, this is the coolest thing.
01:44:42.000So they actually started planting secret messages in their songs.
01:44:48.000And, you know, if you play something backwards and John Lennon was super big into this, that, and it was sort of like, you know, it's, is it art imitating reality kind of thing?
01:44:57.000And it just became this whole, you know, big deal where all of these secret messages we could put in.
01:45:02.000But I always, I always thought it was, that's actually the story that got me into the Beatles that like, Wow, these guys thought it was so cool that they actually took it to the next level and started doing it because, hey, that's fun.
01:46:31.000So that's a type of, I mean, it's a cope, right?
01:46:34.000But, you know, the type of logical fallacy that it's a false because, right?
01:46:38.000So I've created, instead of having to actually think through, like me possibly being wrong on something, I can just allow the cognitive dissonance to take over and the false because will be a shortcut across that to say, well, okay, there was this one, but it wasn't a big deal.
01:47:04.000Stoli Clark says, Tim, I'm challenging you and Ian to a game of Two-Headed Giant Commander.
01:47:11.000Also, everyone, regardless of your opinion, you need to prepare for some crazy times.
01:47:16.000And why don't you people ever talk about XRP?
01:47:18.000I don't know a whole lot about XRP, but what I can say is anyone who plays me and Ian in a game of Two-Headed Giant Commander would regret it.
01:49:30.000But I want to have it so that like every five minutes the arms randomly pull to a different position.
01:49:35.000Dude, what if there was a clock that no matter when you looked at it, it always showed you what time it was now.
01:49:41.000So like if the clock was on video and recorded, you'd look at it now and it would show now's time even though, I don't know, it'd be some new technology.
01:49:58.000That would be a multidimensional clock because if Seamus is watching and someone else is watching it'd be a different... That's a quantum clock.
01:52:18.000We got Rob Lurssen says breaking JBS paid 11 million dollars in Bitcoin ransom to cyber criminals who last week knocked out plants that process one fifth of the nation's meat supply.
01:52:31.000The thing that killed me with the Colonial Pipeline was when the CEO was testifying yesterday and said and admitted that said, well, they asked him, said Senator Hawley.
01:52:40.000I think it was Senator Hawley actually asked him.
01:52:42.000Why didn't you just go in manually and turn on the pipeline?
01:52:45.000And he responded that, well, essentially all the workers that know how to operate the pipeline manually are either retired or deceased at this point.
01:53:09.000It is a Southern state that is very conservative.
01:53:11.000Most people here have rejected COVID measures, FYI.
01:53:14.000I just referred to it as an East Coast state because it's very easy to get to North Carolina from North Carolina to New York.
01:53:20.000So if New York implements all these restrictions, there's probably a lot of people in North Carolina who are like driving up to New York or even driving through New York.
01:53:27.000Maybe you aren't going on a vacation or something.
01:53:29.000It's not like you're in Los Angeles and it's like a six-hour flight.
01:53:31.000There is kind of this, like, regionalization of the term East Coast.
01:53:36.000Like, you wouldn't consider Florida an East Coast state.
01:54:19.000The reason I brought up the Offspring earlier about Hit That is because I was listening to one of their latest songs, and it's not overt, but it really does sound like they're pro-establishment these days.
01:54:46.000Didn't they have a video that was, like, directed by Michael Moore at one point with Rage, and they're on Wall Street, and they're, like, protesting.
01:54:53.000They protested in front of the DNC at one point, they went down in Cuba.
01:54:58.000I mean, these guys were pretty, pretty, you know, populist uprising against, quote unquote, the establishment.
01:55:05.000We got Logan Culver says, clearly the culture shift happened when they fired up the Large Hadron Collider in 2008 and ripped a hole in our time continuum.
01:55:35.000He's looking at Tim like, how long will he allow me to do this?
01:55:39.000Like they say, politics is religion for ugly people.
01:55:46.000Biosurveillance like vaccine passports forces the individual to buy technology.
01:55:50.000What better for disease capitalists than data mining you to train robots?
01:55:54.000Half the cost of immigrants, the pitch is VR.
01:56:01.000Daniel Welch says, is the difference in states you described like Brave New World sterile and dehumanized world state versus degenerate savage lands?
01:56:46.000And so, you know, he got a lot closer.
01:56:49.000And then so they fly over, you know, quote unquote, the flyover states.
01:56:52.000But then you can go and they have these little platforms where you can land on and sort of look down to people living in like what we consider the Midwest now.
01:56:59.000And that's like a vacation to see how the How these savages, they call them, the savages live.
01:57:04.000Yeah, no, I mean, I completely agree with you, and it's interesting, it actually gets more into the sexual politics, which is a huge part of why everything's falling apart here.
01:57:11.000Oh, yeah, I mean, that's, like, half the book.
01:57:13.000Alright, The One Free Man says, Would you die, not for America as we know it, but for the America you know it could be?
01:57:26.000Because it could be that, and I would die for that.
01:57:30.000I've seen so many people die feudally that I'm not really looking to throw myself away.
01:57:35.000Yeah, I guess that's a complicated question.
01:57:36.000I mean, look, that's clearly a risk that my grandfather was willing to take.
01:57:39.000I think if we fought in the Second World War, I think there's something noble about that.
01:57:42.000I'm not a big fan of the industrial-military complex or our current foreign policy, but...
01:57:48.000If there was a good reason to go to war, I mean, I'm not gonna sit here and say I'm so brave and macho I would absolutely go do it, but I definitely believe there are reasons which warrant fighting for sure.
01:57:57.000I mean, you know, as Patton once said, you know, the object of warfare is not to die for your country but have the enemy die for his.
01:58:03.000That being said, you know, I know that I'm not someone who currently, and I said this before, I argued that I don't think that we are on a collision course with China, But that being said, should the CCP try, trust me, I've been focused on these guys solely for about 15 years right now.
01:58:20.000I would know how to tear them apart within less than 18 months.
02:00:10.000Okay, um, Rath4 says, More people died in 2020 alone from shoving foreign objects in their bums than people died from AR-15s the past five years combined.
02:00:20.000Well, we should we should absolutely ban those things.
02:00:23.000Are we are we debunking or has that been bunked?
02:01:11.000Yeah, but I do have some cards that are worth, like... A lot!
02:01:15.000Like, one of my deck has some, like... I probably shouldn't say too much about the power of this deck, but it's got some really, really old, expensive cards in it.
02:01:22.000Let's just say he had some collateral for that AMC stock he bought.
02:01:27.000I went and I was like, I'm going to leverage my Magic the Gathering deck, and they were like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
02:02:58.000That storm is really, really bad, so, uh, let's, we'll wrap things up.
02:03:01.000Make sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram at TimCastIRL.

02:03:25.000We're taking to the CCP on a daily basis as well as to the corrupt leaders of the United States government here today.
02:03:32.000We're going after the US military today, a guy who just Said a lot of things that he probably shouldn't have said, so we've scooped that and he had to delete his Twitter account just before we came out as Battalion Commander.
02:03:41.000And also check out antivabook.com if you want to learn the truth about this organization.
02:03:44.000Never before published information about conversations from FBI Director Wray directly with President Trump.
02:04:54.000Sure, yeah, you can follow me at IanCrossland.net as well, but hey, send me that positive energy.
02:04:58.000Send that positive energy up into the skies above us to move those clouds like when oil hits water and you just see it fly or when water hits oil or something like that.
02:05:06.000Hopefully do that before I have to drive home.
02:05:07.000Yeah, do that so Jack gets an easy ride home.
