Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - CREEPY Video Shows Mass Shrieking In China Over Starvation & Lockdown w-John Rich

00:00:00.000 We got a bunch of videos coming out of China.

00:00:09.000 Shanghai, apparently.

00:00:11.000 Several neighborhoods.

00:00:12.000 People are filming many other people on their balconies, screaming.

00:00:16.000 And it's not just screaming.

00:00:17.000 Some people are just screaming, but it's shrieking.

00:00:20.000 It's wailing.

00:00:21.000 There's a video of some woman screaming, throwing her food in some kind of lockdown center, banging on a bed.

00:00:27.000 There are horrifying videos coming out of China right now, and it's a combination of the extreme COVID lockdowns they're going through.

00:00:33.000 Wow, it's like a rerun of 2020.

00:00:35.000 But also, the food shortages.

00:00:37.000 We're hearing that there's serious food shortages in Shanghai.

00:00:42.000 There's a photo someone posted where they opened their refrigerator, pushed it onto their balcony, it's completely empty.

00:00:47.000 Now the scary thing about this is, a lot of people in America are They're biased.

00:00:52.000 There's an optimism bias, there's a normalcy bias.

00:00:54.000 It can't happen here, it can't, but you gotta understand, we're closer than people realize.

00:00:59.000 Maybe it won't happen.

00:01:00.000 I'm not telling you that the end is nigh and to scream or anything like that, but we're gonna look at some of these videos, and it's pretty scary stuff.

00:01:06.000 We got a bunch of other stories as well.

00:01:08.000 COVID lockdowns may be coming back to the U.S.

00:01:10.000 I know our good friend Luke Rudkowski had said to us, it's not gonna happen, they're gonna ease up.

00:01:15.000 I said it was gonna happen, but then when we started seeing all the lockdowns get lifted, I said, I guess I was wrong.

00:01:20.000 Philadelphia is reintroducing their mask mandates.

00:01:22.000 We're getting warnings again from the CDC that COVID is spiking.

00:01:25.000 So it's entirely possible we do get more of these mandates.

00:01:28.000 Plus, you know, we're going to make fun of our good friend Joe Biden, who, uh, what did he say?

00:01:32.000 He said tobacco companies wouldn't be able to sue prostitutes or something like that.

00:01:36.000 I don't know.

00:01:36.000 Yeah.

00:01:37.000 Something along those lines, or it could be a prostitute. 1.00

00:01:39.000 Yes. 0.99

00:01:39.000 Thank you, Joe Biden. 0.99

00:01:40.000 Great.

00:01:41.000 All right.

00:01:41.000 We got a lot to talk about.

00:01:42.000 Joining us today as we are live in Nashville, we are at the Daily Wire studios, but you know, we're actually in our mobile command center 2.0.

00:01:50.000 We've got John Rich.

00:01:52.000 How's it going, man?

00:01:52.000 Welcome to Nashville, guys.

00:01:54.000 Thank you.

00:01:54.000 Would you like to introduce yourself?

00:01:56.000 Yeah, John Rich.

00:01:57.000 You might know me from a duo called Big and Rich, which I think we have one of the silliest songs of all time called Save a Horse Riding.

00:02:04.000 If you've never heard it, go look it up.

00:02:06.000 It'll probably put a smile on your face.

00:02:08.000 I've been here a long time, written thousands of songs in this town, and I'm a son of a preacher, grew up in a trailer park in Texas, and I have a high school diploma.

00:02:18.000 Very cool.

00:02:19.000 That is my pedigree.

00:02:20.000 You can carry it around with you when you move back.

00:02:21.000 Nothing fancy here, but I'm a fan of you guys, fan of your show, and was excited when I saw you coming to town, so thanks for having me on the trailer.

00:02:27.000 Glad to have you.

00:02:27.000 I feel comfortable in trailers.

00:02:28.000 Yeah, perfect.

00:02:29.000 You look good in here.

00:02:29.000 Yeah, thanks man.

00:02:31.000 We got Seamus.

00:02:32.000 Yeah, thank you for coming by.

00:02:33.000 I'm Seamus Coghlan.

00:02:34.000 I run a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes.

00:02:36.000 We make cartoons, political satire.

00:02:38.000 I think you guys will Enjoy my stuff.

00:02:47.000 Subscribe.

00:02:48.000 Check it out.

00:02:49.000 Ian Crossland over here, and can you hear the rain?

00:02:51.000 Yes.

00:02:51.000 If not, that's cool, but if so, badass.

00:02:54.000 What's up, everybody?

00:02:55.000 Welcome to the show.

00:02:55.000 It's my first time in Nashville.

00:02:56.000 John, thanks for having me, man.

00:02:57.000 Yeah.

00:02:58.000 Thanks for having me.

00:02:58.000 It's making me feel comfortable already.

00:03:00.000 Yeah, everybody's coming to Nashville.

00:03:01.000 Yeah.

00:03:02.000 Yeah, I hear it.

00:03:02.000 It seems like, yeah, I mean, when Daily Wire, I heard Daily Wire was coming to Nashville, I didn't know anybody really there at Daily Wire, but I just kind of blind called them and said, hey, when you finally get to Nashville, let me throw you a welcome to Nashville party at my house.

00:03:16.000 Oh, yeah.

00:03:17.000 And they said, well, we've got like 160 employees.

00:03:20.000 I said, well, the room I'm going to throw it in at my household is 200.

00:03:22.000 And it's got a bar and a stage.

00:03:25.000 And it's looking at downtown Asheville.

00:03:26.000 And we can bring the band in and rock your socks off.

00:03:29.000 They go, let's do it.

00:03:30.000 So I had Travis Tritt showed up and all these musicians showed up.

00:03:34.000 And I look down and there's Ben and Candice.

00:03:38.000 Jamming and banging their heads.

00:03:39.000 Yes, Ben banging his head on the front as Travis Tritt was ripping some Lynyrd Skynyrd.

00:03:44.000 I love it.

00:03:45.000 Why don't you throw a party for us?

00:03:48.000 So I do want you guys to go hit my bar while you're here.

00:03:51.000 I have a bar downtown on Broadway called Redneck Riviera.

00:03:55.000 You are from West Virginia, so I know what you know what that means.

00:03:57.000 That's the work hard, play hard crowd.

00:03:59.000 That's awesome.

00:04:00.000 You know, you guys are young.

00:04:02.000 You can handle that.

00:04:03.000 Oh for sure.

00:04:03.000 I am stoked to have John on the CV.

00:04:07.000 I thought that for our first night in Nashville we should bring in a musician.

00:04:10.000 And John perfectly fit the bill.

00:04:12.000 So I'm so excited to kind of talk about current events with a guy who has some music background.

00:04:16.000 Also, I mean we talk a lot about building culture.

00:04:19.000 I think it's great to see people in the entertainment industry who actually have positive values and aren't acquiescing to the nonsense that the left is telling everyone they have to submit to.

00:04:27.000 So good for you.

00:04:28.000 You're solo.

00:04:28.000 That's what's so great about it.

00:04:30.000 You're your own producer.

00:04:32.000 I mean, is that fair to say at this point?

00:04:34.000 Yeah, I mean, you guys, we were talking earlier, you know, who owns your content?

00:04:38.000 I said, this guy.

00:04:39.000 I own my songs, I own my recordings, I own all my stuff.

00:04:42.000 And you know, I'm very fortunate that I had a career that went well enough for long enough that I could get to the point where I could afford to do my own stuff.

00:04:50.000 You know, I didn't need the big companies anymore.

00:04:52.000 And so, you know, when it comes to artistic expression, I now have nobody telling me what I can say or when I can say it or how I put it out or anything else.

00:05:00.000 So it's the ultimate artistic freedom, I think, to be where I'm at.

00:05:05.000 Right on.

00:05:05.000 Well, we've got a great sponsor before we get started.

00:06:52.000 And I find it fascinating that this article from Newsweek is, it's all bright, and the image they show just shows like a nice blue sky, when the reality of these videos is actually horrifying.

00:07:02.000 They say, Shanghai residents scream from windows, get drone lockdown warnings.

00:07:08.000 Check this out.

00:07:09.000 I'm gonna play this.

00:07:09.000 I hope you guys are ready for some creepy sounds cuz here we go

00:07:12.000 Okay, how do I get this to actually play Bye.

00:07:27.000 Well, apparently we can't.

00:07:28.000 There we go.

00:07:28.000 Yeah!

00:07:29.000 There it is.

00:07:30.000 So there's a lot of people screaming.

00:07:44.000 Here's the crazier video.

00:07:46.000 Check this one out.

00:07:47.000 This one is... Shanghai residents go to their balconies to sing and protest lack of supplies.

00:07:52.000 A drone appears saying, please comply with COVID restrictions.

00:07:56.000 Control your soul's desire for freedom.

00:07:58.000 do not open the window or sing.

00:08:00.000 Yo, that echo is so creepy.

00:08:12.000 So I sent this out to a friend and said, you know, who speaks Mandarin?

00:08:15.000 And they said, yeah, yeah, that's that's that's what the drone is telling people.

00:08:19.000 Control your soul's desire for freedom.

00:08:22.000 Welcome to the future, my friends.

00:08:23.000 How do you guys feel about it?

00:08:24.000 Pretty terrifying, pretty terrifying.

00:08:26.000 No, I mean, look, I think it's sad.

00:08:28.000 I think what's really striking about this story isn't just what's happening in China.

00:08:32.000 I think it's the fact that even without saying it, there are some number of Americans who would have absolutely no problem with this being the policy in the United States.

00:08:40.000 We've clearly given up any drive to have freedom.

00:08:44.000 And it is sad to say that it looks like there is a real chance the lockdowns could be coming back.

00:08:49.000 So a couple of years ago, In August of 2020, these videos started going around showing people screaming.

00:08:56.000 When I first saw this video on Twitter, I said somebody got hoaxed.

00:09:00.000 Somebody took an old video and sent it and said, look what's going on in China, and it was a rerun.

00:09:05.000 It was a replay.

00:09:07.000 This person didn't do their due diligence.

00:09:09.000 So I pulled up the old videos.

00:09:11.000 They're different videos.

00:09:12.000 So this is new, and we have multiple sources confirming this, several news outlets reporting on it, and it appears to be true because there's more than just this one video.

00:09:22.000 There's apparently dozens of videos.

00:09:24.000 The creepiest that I have not verified, but there have been reports of people filming Taking their lives because there's no food.

00:09:33.000 There's a video of people fighting in a supermarket.

00:09:35.000 All the store shelves are empty.

00:09:37.000 People have taken garbage bags and they've filled them with whatever food they can.

00:09:40.000 And they start fighting each other in the stores.

00:09:43.000 I always joke about this.

00:09:44.000 With the food shortages, you don't want to be in a Walmart parking lot fighting with Agnes over the last can of beans.

00:09:51.000 And I mean it jokingly, but watching these videos of people in China fighting over food in the supermarkets is scary stuff, man.

00:09:58.000 I mean it's reducing people back to a primal state where you've got to potentially kill somebody to eat.

00:10:07.000 I mean it's as primal as you can possibly get and you ask yourself well why would you ever push people to that point?

00:10:14.000 And I think the answer, unfortunately, is that there's really not multiple answers to that.

00:10:19.000 In my opinion, it is a purposeful way to crush people to such a point.

00:10:26.000 Nobody can lift their hand up for help unless they're on the ground first.

00:10:31.000 You know, and if the government, if the people in power want to say, come on, grab my hand, we'll save you.

00:10:36.000 You got to put them on their knees before they're going to reach up. 0.55

00:10:38.000 Yeah.

00:10:39.000 And that, that is the definition of putting them on their knees to the, maybe the ultimate way.

00:10:43.000 And I think it's really a dangerous thing for Americans to say that cannot possibly ever happen.

00:10:49.000 In America.

00:10:50.000 Really?

00:10:51.000 Let somebody shut the lights off for three months and see what happens in America.

00:10:54.000 Well, I remember what happened in New York during Sandy.

00:10:56.000 And I'm just going to stress this point.

00:10:58.000 Man, we're in rerun season, guys, because these are the same conversations we had back in 2020 with these lockdowns.

00:11:03.000 But I was in New York when Sandy hit.

00:11:06.000 And the power goes out for an extended period of time.

00:11:08.000 And there's people standing outside of bodegas with like clubs and bats.

00:11:12.000 One person allowed in at a time.

00:11:14.000 I walk in the store and the guy says, all of the perishables are spoiled.

00:11:17.000 Don't take, don't, don't buy them.

00:11:19.000 The canned stuff and the, and the, and you know, the, like the sodas are fine, but they're warm.

00:11:23.000 There was no electricity.

00:11:25.000 So it's like you can get what you get cash only.

00:11:26.000 I'm here in North Korea.

00:11:28.000 He basically, Kim Jong-un, rules by starvation.

00:11:30.000 He starves the populace.

00:11:31.000 They have no strength, literally no power, because they don't have any energy or their lack of energy from lack of food.

00:11:36.000 They're crawling around on the ground looking for food.

00:11:38.000 People die on the side.

00:11:39.000 This is from Yeonmi Park, who escaped.

00:11:40.000 I've listened to her story.

00:11:41.000 Escaped from North Korea.

00:11:43.000 Escaped from that country. 0.64

00:11:45.000 Escaped.

00:11:45.000 That's the way they look at it.

00:11:47.000 China, it looks like this could be... I mean, do they even care about the... Does the CCP care about those people or do they want less of them?

00:11:54.000 They had the one child policy before, they wanted less people that way? 0.97

00:11:57.000 The only thing communists are good at producing is human misery and food shortages.

00:12:01.000 And then they just sit on top and revel in what they have, the food.

00:12:05.000 Because I'm thinking like, oh, Kim Jong-un's got plenty of food.

00:12:09.000 Xi Jinping's got plenty of food right now.

00:12:12.000 They're central planners.

00:12:13.000 Their view of this is, we don't care about the individual, we care about the machine.

00:12:19.000 And if that means you've got a billion people in China, and they're thinking, this is so expensive and difficult to maintain.

00:12:25.000 There's too many people here.

00:12:27.000 So I'm sure they don't care when they're looking at how can we streamline the machine that is the Chinese Communist Party and this country, whatever they want to call it.

00:12:36.000 So, you know, the Republic of China, People's Republic of China.

00:12:39.000 If we want to streamline this, okay, we can stand to get rid of excess and then bring specialists in.

00:12:45.000 They don't view the individuals that they starve out.

00:12:47.000 They don't care.

00:12:48.000 They don't think about it.

00:12:49.000 Yes, and on top of that, it's totally impossible to centrally plan a supply chain like that.

00:12:54.000 You just can't know where resources should be allocated without people being able to engage in free trade.

00:12:59.000 One issue we saw during the beginning or at the beginning of the COVID lockdowns is that even though food production was considered an essential service, which wasn't shut down, there were still food shortages in some areas.

00:13:09.000 We were getting less meat produced because the packaging materials that people used to send their meat to market were considered non-essential.

00:13:16.000 Small details like this are just going to inevitably slip past politicians and the bureaucrats they appoint to essentially plan the economy.

00:13:22.000 So even if they're making a good faith effort to get people fed, they're just not capable of doing so.

00:13:27.000 Right.

00:13:27.000 Well, there are quantifiable facts in this country, in America, that would lead you to believe the only ending, which is there are people that want to see food shortages happen in America.

00:13:41.000 A couple of examples.

00:13:42.000 One, they've been paying farmers for the past two or three years.

00:13:45.000 I'm from Amarillo, Texas, up in the Grain Belt, right through the middle of there.

00:13:48.000 They're paying them.

00:13:50.000 to literally mow down and bush hog their soybean crops, don't plant anything this year, leave it all alone,

00:13:58.000 and they're like, they're paying me more money to cut up my soybeans than I would

00:14:01.000 have made on my soybeans, so I'll cut up my soybeans.

00:14:04.000 FDR didn't say a thing.

00:14:05.000 What is that called? Fallowing? Fallow?

00:14:06.000 Why are they doing that?

00:14:07.000 You guys don't even know what I'm talking about.

00:14:09.000 Well, they're getting government checks to cut them up.

00:14:11.000 But why would the government be doing that?

00:14:12.000 Well, so there's... I could have the word wrong.

00:14:15.000 So guys, correct me if I'm getting this wrong.

00:14:17.000 I think it's... Can you look it up?

00:14:18.000 Fallow?

00:14:18.000 Yeah.

00:14:19.000 And the idea is something to do... You know, honestly, I can't remember.

00:14:24.000 Well, it blends the nutrients back down into the dirt.

00:14:26.000 Right, right, right.

00:14:26.000 Because if you grow something enough times, you take everything out of the dirt, so they'll actually grow a crop and plow it back under.

00:14:32.000 But we've been seeing some of this for political reasons.

00:14:35.000 Is that what it is?

00:14:36.000 Yeah, fallow is usually cultivated land that is allowed to lie idle during the growth season.

00:14:40.000 Right.

00:14:41.000 Okay, so that's to re-nutrify the system.

00:14:43.000 Well, who owns more farmland right now than any other individual?

00:14:45.000 Bill Gates.

00:14:46.000 Why is that?

00:14:47.000 What does he know about farmland?

00:14:47.000 Yeah, and it's in the last few years he's been buying it up.

00:14:49.000 And why did China start buying corn futures like crazy over the past two years for Chinese investors?

00:14:55.000 In the important context as per Bill Gates, he may own the most as an individual, but it's not that much relative to the grand scheme of total available farmland.

00:15:04.000 So, a lot of people assume when they hear that it means like, Half the country is owned by Bill Gates.

00:15:09.000 No, he owns a very tiny percentage of the total, but he owns more than any other individual.

00:15:15.000 Which still raises the question, why is this guy buying up farmland?

00:15:20.000 What's he looking at in the future for an investment?

00:15:24.000 What is it about food production that he thinks is going to become particularly lucrative very soon here?

00:15:28.000 That people need to eat it.

00:15:29.000 Yeah, I mean, people have always needed to eat food.

00:15:32.000 That's a little tongue-in-cheek that there's shortages, obviously.

00:15:34.000 I think he knew, or at least he saw it ahead.

00:15:36.000 Maybe he just saw it coming and he could read the cards, or maybe he knew.

00:15:40.000 You know, he's very connected.

00:15:41.000 I'm not playing conspiracy here.

00:15:43.000 I don't know.

00:15:43.000 I think if you've got a bunch of people who, you know, Bill Gates has given speeches on population control, you know, different from reduction, but, you know, I wonder about his thoughts on that.

00:15:56.000 A lot of people speculate, by all means.

00:15:58.000 But control, where he talks about how we need to reduce the amount of people being produced.

00:16:03.000 There's too many.

00:16:04.000 So he's talked, there's that famous TED talk where he was like, we can reduce population growth by 10 or 15%.

00:16:10.000 Now, when you got someone who's coming out and talking like that, why would I trust that guy on health advice?

00:16:16.000 I'm sorry, I'm not gonna trust you on health advice.

00:16:19.000 Yeah, that's his long-term goal, is to have fewer people.

00:16:23.000 Right.

00:16:24.000 Exactly.

00:16:25.000 I'm not saying he wants anybody to die, I'm just saying, like, I'm not gonna take health advice from a guy who sells computers who talks about how there should be less people.

00:16:32.000 Not just health advice.

00:16:35.000 If you're an individual who doesn't believe that human life is intrinsically valuable for its own sake, I'm not taking your advice on anything.

00:16:41.000 There's no reason to listen to you.

00:16:42.000 He's like a utilitarian mathematician.

00:16:44.000 I mean, he's like a coding guy.

00:16:45.000 He wants to be a renaissance man and he's not. 0.85

00:16:49.000 I mean, I don't think he is.

00:16:50.000 Is he really a coding guy?

00:16:51.000 I don't know.

00:16:52.000 He's a salesman.

00:16:53.000 I'm sure he knows computers.

00:16:54.000 He basically co-opted a bunch of code in the early 80s and then made it private and sold it.

00:16:58.000 That's right.

00:16:58.000 He didn't free the code.

00:16:59.000 No, he did the opposite.

00:17:00.000 He's the guy that took Richard Stallman and a friend's code and made Windows out of it, this proprietary stuff, and then packaged it.

00:17:07.000 Good businessman.

00:17:07.000 Basically, poison the waterhole!

00:17:10.000 And antiviral software, right?

00:17:12.000 That was his thing.

00:17:13.000 You can only sell so many computers, but you can get a lot of viruses out of those computers.

00:17:18.000 We need to get that software going over and over and over.

00:17:23.000 You wonder why it is that so many computer viruses exist sometimes?

00:17:26.000 Because, you know, nobody's going to my neighborhood and just randomly attacking people.

00:17:32.000 Not every neighborhood, but we don't see, you know, maybe it's not as easy to say these days, but you don't see overt political terrorism in the United States to a great degree like you do in other parts of the world.

00:17:44.000 And when you see computers being so often attacked, you have to wonder what the motivation is and why.

00:17:49.000 Why don't people in public engage to the same degree?

00:17:54.000 Maybe it's as simple as they do.

00:17:57.000 The same amount of people commit crimes as make viruses, but viruses can spread more and do more damage, and that's why we see it more often.

00:18:03.000 But it is a lucrative business, so I certainly wonder how many of these companies back in the days, antivirus companies, We're making viruses.

00:18:10.000 Well, we're like Antifa window repair, like Ryan Lowe's comedy sketch, where the Antifa guys go around smashing windows and then come back the next day and say, window repair.

00:18:19.000 It's not a new tactic.

00:18:20.000 It's why do you buy a $70,000 pickup that has plastic parts inside the air conditioner?

00:18:25.000 And when it goes out after 30,000 miles, it costs $1,800 for somebody to take the dashboard apart and fix the $5 plastic part.

00:18:32.000 They know it's going to wear out.

00:18:33.000 They know you're going to have to come in and get it fixed.

00:18:35.000 And they keep more and more money coming out of your pocket.

00:18:38.000 That's the oldest trick in the book.

00:18:40.000 Sell somebody something that looks great, but it has some kind of flaw that you know they're going to have to get it fixed.

00:18:44.000 Oh, by the way, we're the only ones that can fix it or it voids your warranty.

00:18:47.000 That's a busted system.

00:18:48.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:18:49.000 Planned obsolescence.

00:18:50.000 Yeah.

00:18:51.000 It's disordered.

00:18:52.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:18:53.000 And what we hear is, well, that's capitalism, off what the left says.

00:18:57.000 And I look at it this like, you know, if you want to believe that capitalism can be idealistic, feel free to believe it.

00:19:03.000 It's not true.

00:19:03.000 You're going to find people who sell snake oil.

00:19:05.000 Yeah, the slave trade was capitalist too.

00:19:07.000 Right, there's bad things.

00:19:08.000 So, you know, when I hear people say laissez-faire capitalism, free markets are better and all that, I'm like, I don't agree.

00:19:15.000 I agree a freer market is better, but I don't think... Well, that's the thing about the free market.

00:19:19.000 They call it a, quote, free market, but that doesn't mean anything about what they say.

00:19:23.000 It's just a name.

00:19:24.000 It's like when they say, here, let's have the happy kids bill that Congress wants to pass about punishing a bunch of kids.

00:19:31.000 Free trade is not like anyone can do whatever they want.

00:19:33.000 It's heavily regulated.

00:19:34.000 Only certain people can do it.

00:19:36.000 No, no, but I'm talking about a true laissez-faire free market where, you know, buyer beware, covet emptor, people are... There's a lot of good arguments I've heard about how competition will solve a lot of these issues, but you also will get planned obsolescence.

00:19:49.000 The counter argument to that is, well, then the company that makes the better light bulb that lasts forever will sell more.

00:19:55.000 But then my argument to that is, what if one person discovers the creation, you know, invents the light bulb, And then they're making it and other people haven't figured it out for 10 years, so they create planned obsolescence.

00:20:06.000 And what's to say that the other companies don't just say, well, why would I step on the toes of a guy who's figured out how to get people to buy light bulbs nonstop?

00:20:13.000 Why wouldn't they just say, I'm going to do his same business and just lie to customers and say it's better?

00:20:18.000 Yeah.

00:20:19.000 Oh, no, you go.

00:20:20.000 Now, what do you think Big Pharma is?

00:20:22.000 I mean, healthy patients don't make them any money, and dead patients don't make them any money, but patients that we're keeping alive make a lot of money.

00:20:30.000 Check out... Let me show you this post here from BBC World Service.

00:20:34.000 Check this out.

00:20:35.000 Why China's zero COVID policy and Shanghai's strict lockdown is in everybody's interest, according to epidemiologist Dr. Eric Ding.

00:20:43.000 Oh, yeah, I know that.

00:20:44.000 No, thank you.

00:20:45.000 Remember what I said at the beginning of the show?

00:20:47.000 Yeah, what was that?

00:20:47.000 Well, just that there are a lot of people in America and in the West who are completely comfortable with these kind of tactics to eliminate COVID.

00:20:53.000 Zero COVID is disturbing, man.

00:20:54.000 You can't zero the flu.

00:20:55.000 I don't know why they're trying to zero COVID.

00:20:57.000 It's here to stay, as far as I can tell.

00:20:59.000 That's what we've been told.

00:21:00.000 Yeah, well then the question is, are they trying to zero COVID?

00:21:02.000 Let me, you know, let me just say to the point, this is, this BBC story, I guess it's like a podcast, so I'm not gonna play their podcast, but this Dr. Eric Ding guy saying it's in everybody's interest, I hope that's out of context.

00:21:14.000 I sincerely hope what he means is specifically for China and not for us.

00:21:19.000 Because if the reference, if the idea is we here in the United States should be locked in our homes for a week and told we cannot leave for any reason and we will not be given food, Well, Americans, I think, would act quite a bit differently than the Chinese, you know. 0.83

00:21:33.000 You think?

00:21:34.000 Yeah, Second Amendment. 0.76

00:21:35.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:21:35.000 People won't, well, silently starve to death here.

00:21:37.000 Well, hold on.

00:21:39.000 In the cities?

00:21:40.000 I think in the cities, they would do as they're told.

00:21:42.000 I think out in the country, people are gonna be like... Depends on the neighborhood you're in.

00:21:45.000 In the cities, they're gonna be getting the hell out of their apartments and coming out to the country to see where all the people have the resources, and that's where you're gonna have the problems.

00:21:53.000 Right there.

00:21:53.000 Yeah.

00:21:54.000 starving migrants well yeah but hungry desperate people leaving cities going out to where there is resources so yeah what happens when that happens yeah like so this is something you want to think of so this is this is the question then what we see in china is Horrifying.

00:22:11.000 People screaming out their balconies, the drones saying, control your souls, you know, urge for freedom or whatever.

00:22:18.000 If people in big cities, if it does come to the point where, you know, what did Joe Biden call it?

00:22:22.000 A global famine.

00:22:23.000 If the food shortages do get that bad, if the food inflation is as bad as people think it is, and it's bad, if it's as bad as people think it is, Are these city people going to run out of the country?

00:22:32.000 Because then the question becomes, Second Amendment, if I've got chickens, and I do, Chicken City, ChickenCityLive.com, and someone comes and they're hungry, you're not touching my animals, because we have these animals, we cultivate livestock so that we can survive.

00:22:52.000 If someone comes and thinks, I'm gonna steal that, well people out in the country are gonna be like, I gotta defend my property, my friends, and my family.

00:22:57.000 You can't just let anybody come and steal your stuff.

00:23:01.000 What happens?

00:23:02.000 Do they load up?

00:23:03.000 Do people start fighting? 0.99

00:23:07.000 Well, I just want to say this, the sort of the city urban liberal types, the dumb yuppies, they'll just sort of be sitting ducks. 0.98

00:23:12.000 They'll stay in their apartment when they're told to. 0.98

00:23:13.000 These aren't independent thinkers.

00:23:15.000 But when you're looking at the neighborhoods with high crime rates, where people do, you know, own guns, or at least the criminals own guns, and there's more of a gang presence, they will absolutely start moving out into more rural areas in search for food.

00:23:26.000 And you'll see some ugliness if we ever get to a point where there is massive food inflation that's starving people.

00:23:31.000 So let me ask real quick, Chicago, What city?

00:23:35.000 Akron.

00:23:36.000 Cuyahoga Falls, yeah.

00:23:37.000 Where did you grow up, John?

00:23:38.000 Amarillo, Texas.

00:23:39.000 So what is that like?

00:23:40.000 Is that big city, urban, skyscrapers?

00:23:43.000 If it wasn't for I-40, there would be no Amarillo, Texas.

00:23:45.000 So, it's basically, if you look at the state of Texas, go to the panhandle on the top, it's right in the dead center of that.

00:23:50.000 Oh, wow.

00:23:51.000 So, it's as flat as a board, it's Tornado Alley, it's the Grain Belt. 0.98

00:23:56.000 There's a couple hundred thousand that live in Amarillo, so it's a decent-sized town.

00:23:56.000 How many people?

00:24:00.000 How big is Akron?

00:24:01.000 Akron's big.

00:24:02.000 Well, I was actually from Cuyahoga Falls, a suburb.

00:24:04.000 There's only 50,000 people.

00:24:06.000 But you grew up in a major metro.

00:24:07.000 No, no, I never grew up in Akron.

00:24:08.000 It was a suburb of a minor metro.

00:24:10.000 How far away from Akron?

00:24:12.000 25 minutes.

00:24:13.000 25 minutes, and how many... We never went.

00:24:14.000 I went to Akron, like, once every three weeks.

00:24:16.000 Yeah, but this is called the Akron Metropolitan Area.

00:24:17.000 Yeah, Cuyahoga Falls.

00:24:18.000 You don't gotta nitpick me.

00:24:20.000 I'm just making a point.

00:24:20.000 It felt like a small town where I grew up.

00:24:22.000 This town was so small, they didn't even have a barber.

00:24:23.000 You see?

00:24:26.000 I'm just asking because I'm curious.

00:24:27.000 Your thoughts, being from Texas, I wouldn't call it a small town or anything like that, but I'm curious what your thoughts are on just Second Amendment people defending their property.

00:24:37.000 Well, what you're talking about is not defending your property.

00:24:40.000 At that point, what you're talking about is defending your survival of your family and of yourself.

00:24:46.000 It's no longer Hey, those chickens, if somebody stole those chickens or took my chickens or whatever, we're not in a famine.

00:24:52.000 It's not as big of a deal, but if I'm depending on that or whatever else I have for my kids and my wife and my parents and whoever's around me to survive, then it's not a question.

00:25:02.000 Because then if you take my stuff, we die.

00:25:05.000 So it becomes, uh, the stakes go all the way to the top when you start talking about famine.

00:25:09.000 Water's the other thing.

00:25:10.000 I mean, you know, people forget that electricity is what makes the water move through the pipes into your apartment or into your house unless you got a well.

00:25:20.000 Electricity makes water move.

00:25:21.000 Electricity makes natural gas move.

00:25:23.000 Electricity makes fuel come up from the gas stations.

00:25:27.000 It's a lot more than just your light bulbs.

00:25:29.000 It makes literally everything move.

00:25:30.000 So to me, you know, the electric grid and some of these things we hear about somebody is going to hack the electric grid or whatever.

00:25:36.000 That is honestly, in my opinion, is the most kill shot you could ever put on a culture.

00:25:41.000 You were talking about solar earlier, like the best thing you could get or one of the best things is a solar generator. 0.81

00:25:45.000 Yeah, I ran across some solar generators and I thought, ah, they probably suck.

00:25:50.000 And I'm like, eh.

00:25:51.000 I thought, well, I'll buy the small one and see how it does.

00:25:54.000 So I buy this little solar generator, a thousand watt generator, and it charged up pretty fast.

00:25:58.000 I went, okay, let's see what it does.

00:26:00.000 I said, I wonder how long it'll run a freezer.

00:26:02.000 Because I got one of those big freezers and it's full of meat and this and that.

00:26:05.000 I wonder how long it'd run a freezer. 0.92

00:26:07.000 Plug that sucker in, it ran that freezer for 16 hours. 0.99

00:26:10.000 Wow. 0.98

00:26:11.000 Which you don't even need to run a freezer for 16 hours to keep everything frozen.

00:26:14.000 Yeah, you're saying you do it 8 and then leave it off for 16 and then 8 and then leave it off.

00:26:16.000 Yeah, you just don't open it very often, you know.

00:26:18.000 So, there are ways to get around it, but people need to think about it right now.

00:26:21.000 Yeah, so there's this funny hit piece on me and a bunch of other pro-Trump personalities from 2020, like, where are they now?

00:26:29.000 And they're like, Tim Pool is selling emergency food.

00:26:33.000 And then I'm just like, well, it's kind of crazy.

00:26:35.000 The mentality among the left is that it's an insult to want to have emergency supplies.

00:26:41.000 Because I'm just thinking, like, if you think it's, like, a point of shame, like, I would be ashamed of telling people, like, make sure you get some emergency supplies.

00:26:51.000 I'm not telling people to set up a bunker underground with 30 years worth of beans or anything.

00:26:55.000 I'm being like, you get one of these buckets and put it in your closet, you forget about it.

00:26:57.000 I also think you should have a first aid kit.

00:26:59.000 I think you should have some water.

00:27:00.000 I think you should download a survival guide onto your phone. 0.98

00:27:03.000 But man, when we have these conversations about people in big cities being like, oh, they're so dumb, you bought emergency supplies.

00:27:09.000 I'm like, I don't want to be anywhere near that city if it really does get bad. 0.89

00:27:14.000 And the funny thing is, I'm not even prepper level.

00:27:17.000 The preppers are sitting on their bunkers, you know, smoking their cigars, laughing at everybody else because they got nothing to worry about.

00:27:23.000 And really the question is, if you were a prepper, if you built a bunker, If you bought a bunch of guns, if you've got stored food, you know how to start a fire and hunt animals, are you stressed by this lifestyle?

00:27:34.000 Is there something wrong with that lifestyle?

00:27:36.000 Sure, you might believe crazy things like, the end is nigh, if you're one of these caricatures.

00:27:41.000 But really, if you're somebody who lives out in a rural area, and you know how to survive and you take care of yourself, I'm sure you're living your best life.

00:27:41.000 Yeah.

00:27:48.000 Imagine a more suicidally stupid cultural attitude than, it's dumb to prepare for things potentially going wrong. 1.00

00:27:55.000 Right. 1.00

00:27:56.000 And let's laugh at the guy who's trying to build his ark before the rain starts.

00:28:00.000 I mean, you don't have to believe that the entire world is going to end.

00:28:03.000 You don't even have to believe there's going to be societal collapse.

00:28:05.000 But how are you going to sit here and tell me it's a worse world if people have emergency food stored up?

00:28:09.000 But isn't that the story of the ark?

00:28:11.000 Yeah, they laughed at him.

00:28:12.000 They laughed at him.

00:28:13.000 Now, I'm not saying that we're going to be seeing anything of that magnitude, right?

00:28:18.000 And of course, you have to make that perfectly clear because they'll clip you and go, look, they're saying because people should have emergency food, they think the world's going to flood.

00:28:25.000 Also, global warming is going to flood the world, guys.

00:28:27.000 Take that very seriously.

00:28:29.000 But that's a good one too!

00:28:31.000 They should be building art!

00:28:32.000 Exactly!

00:28:34.000 And so, it's absurd.

00:28:36.000 I mean, even if there isn't some cataclysm, is it totally unthinkable that there might be a situation where you need a couple weeks worth of food?

00:28:43.000 And that's actually a really good point.

00:28:45.000 They mock the idea of emergency food.

00:28:48.000 Yeah.

00:28:48.000 They're the ones claiming the great flood is coming. Yeah that the ocean's gonna rise by 20 to 100 feet

00:28:53.000 Yeah, where you know and then Barack Obama buys beachfront property

00:28:57.000 It's so strange because they have paranoid fantasies that would put the most ardent prepper to shame about how we

00:29:04.000 only have three months To reverse global warming or we're all gonna die and they

00:29:09.000 say this every three months or so And then they turn around and go look at this guy's trying

00:29:14.000 to sell emergency food. What an idiot What would you need that for? This is actually a really 1.00

00:29:18.000 good point. Yeah, I don't I don't see conservative Emergency supply there's you know

00:29:22.000 Survivor company or whatever and they're selling all the stuff might be a rugged man and make sure you can survive

00:29:26.000 in the wilderness I don't see any of these companies saying global warming

00:29:30.000 will wipe us all out you need Because certainly that's a path towards selling your product, right?

00:29:35.000 You know what we should do?

00:29:36.000 I'm going to do this.

00:29:36.000 I'm going to create a liberal prepper company.

00:29:39.000 I'm going to market only to New York, Chicago, and LA and be like, global warming's coming, man.

00:29:39.000 Yeah.

00:29:44.000 Are you going to survive the flood?

00:29:46.000 Here's your inflatable.

00:29:47.000 I'm going to sell plans for building an ark.

00:29:49.000 Inflatable raft.

00:29:52.000 So this goes way back.

00:29:53.000 Why do city people, and I know all city people aren't the same, but let's be cliche for a second.

00:29:59.000 Why do big city people mock and make fun of country people?

00:30:05.000 Why do they do that?

00:30:06.000 I think the reason is because they look at the country people and they realize that those country people can self-sustain.

00:30:12.000 They can defend themselves.

00:30:13.000 They can grow their own food.

00:30:15.000 They're a tight-knit unit.

00:30:17.000 They could probably get through a hell of a lot more than you could get through, and they're threatened by it.

00:30:22.000 In a way, they're the alphas that are out in the country.

00:30:24.000 They're the real alphas.

00:30:26.000 The ones that are in the cities, that are up in a skyscraper apartment complex, They're the ultimate betas because they're at the mercy of anything that comes their way that's not right.

00:30:35.000 But the ones out in the woods, they're going to be all right for a long time.

00:30:39.000 I think they're threatened by it and they don't understand it because nobody ever taught them how to actually take care of themselves.

00:30:46.000 I know this is a recent thing in America that people don't know how to take care of themselves, don't know how to grow food, don't know how to defend themselves.

00:30:52.000 This is fairly recent.

00:30:53.000 You know, the way I think about it is, how long ago was it where a father was armed everywhere he went and if he was with his family he was ready to fight for his survival like a wild animal how well you know you go back a couple hundred years cities are substantially smaller you look at uh the revolutionary period there's only i think two million americans within the 13 colonies fighting for independence two million across the entirety of the eastern seaboard so if you're a family man and you've got your your homestead or whatever

00:31:22.000 There's wild animals everywhere.

00:31:23.000 So when you go out, you're armed.

00:31:26.000 And you're probably wearing thicker leather of some sort.

00:31:28.000 You're not just walking around in short shorts and a t-shirt with sunglasses on because everything's safe and fine.

00:31:33.000 When you compare a couple hundred years ago to today, it is the epitome of good times make weak men.

00:31:39.000 But over a several hundred year period, and now, You know we talk about what would the founding fathers think if they were if they came here today and saw the government it's like well aside from the fact they'd probably freak out at what happened with the government they're gonna look at people and be like you walk around in short shirts some people walk like women walk around in bikinis and they're gonna be like 0.93

00:31:58.000 There's animals, there's predators, there's- there's- there's bandits, robbers, and you just- nobody cares about any threats or danger.

00:32:05.000 And we can brag and be like, we've mostly done away with so much of this through advancement technology.

00:32:10.000 We're safe, we have fat homeless people, and they'd probably be like, wow.

00:32:16.000 Until they see any potential dastard- disaster coming ahead.

00:32:19.000 Until they see these people are completely unprepared for any kind of survival.

00:32:24.000 Although, maybe they'll just come back and eat big bowls of ice cream and be like, Yeah, we should hope not, and I wouldn't think so, but it is very bizarre how we've been sold this idea that the best possible way to live is to move as far away from your family as you can, to live in a small box next to a bunch of other small boxes full of people, to not have a yard, to not have space, and to not have children to just perpetually consume for the rest of your life, without ever orienting any of that consumption towards preparing for whatever might go wrong.

00:32:56.000 I think it's pre-internet mentality.

00:32:57.000 It's insane.

00:32:58.000 It's because when I was in the city, I would, when I thought of people that lived in the country, I thought of a lack of ambition. 1.00

00:32:58.000 It's stupid. 1.00

00:33:03.000 That was what I associated with it. 1.00

00:33:04.000 Right.

00:33:04.000 And because, but now, that's, I don't know, it's just the way I grew up.

00:33:07.000 Northeast Ohio, kind of small town.

00:33:08.000 My aunts and uncles were hillbilly.

00:33:09.000 We all went out to the country on the farm, hung out, you know.

00:33:12.000 Apparently it feels nothing better than squishing your bare foot through cow patties. 0.99

00:33:15.000 Feeling it come up through your toes.

00:33:17.000 They told me.

00:33:18.000 But now with the internet age... 0.95

00:33:19.000 They also told you to stick your finger in a cow's mouth.

00:33:21.000 I love it.

00:33:22.000 Yeah, I still haven't done it yet, but I'm going.

00:33:23.000 And Alex Jones confirmed that does actually feel good.

00:33:25.000 But then once the internet appeared to change everything, you can run a business from the

00:33:29.000 middle of a farm in Arkansas.

00:33:32.000 And also, I don't know.

00:33:34.000 I think just realism is starting to set in for me.

00:33:36.000 You know, cities are super dangerous.

00:33:37.000 The centralized power grid, it's like we were rolling the dice every day and I hope I don't roll a one because if I do and the power goes out, and if the power goes out for six weeks, I have no backup plan and I hope the roads aren't jammed so I can get out of the city.

00:33:49.000 This is the crazy thing about emergency supplies, is I just tell people sometimes it rains.

00:33:54.000 You know, we saw this big, huge flood in, I think it was in Houston, I'm not sure, where people were trapped in their houses.

00:34:00.000 You never know what you're going to need.

00:34:01.000 Did you have an emergency raft?

00:34:03.000 How many of you had inflatable emergency rafts?

00:34:05.000 Now, if I told you, buy an emergency raft, you'd be like, what?

00:34:08.000 Why? 0.96

00:34:08.000 Crazy. 0.96

00:34:09.000 Sometimes there are floods.

00:34:10.000 Do you live in a floodplain?

00:34:11.000 Have you checked?

00:34:12.000 Maybe you don't, but if you do, you might want to have an inflatable raft.

00:34:15.000 And if you don't need it, your neighbor might.

00:34:15.000 You can survive.

00:34:17.000 Right.

00:34:18.000 Your neighbor might need it.

00:34:19.000 This is the strange irony.

00:34:20.000 In cities, everyone is packed on top of each other, and yet there's virtually no community.

00:34:24.000 And this is the question you have to ask yourself.

00:34:26.000 If inflation gets really bad, if, as Biden promised, there are going to be food shortages, do you want to have neighbors who know who you are and care about you?

00:34:34.000 Or do you want to be another face, another name, someone that they have no responsibility to once they're hungry?

00:34:39.000 I want to give a shout out to our good friend Joe Biden over here, because he's got this tweet that just went up today.

00:34:44.000 He said, we need Congress to pass universal background checks.

00:34:47.000 That's insane, because they already exist.

00:34:49.000 Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

00:34:52.000 Assault weapon doesn't mean anything, and he wants to ban 100 round magazines, or I guess that would be a drum.

00:34:57.000 Wow, Joe Biden.

00:34:59.000 And eliminate gun manufacturers' immunity from liability.

00:35:02.000 That's insane.

00:35:03.000 These are insane statements.

00:35:04.000 Let me just be totally real first.

00:35:06.000 When you go buy a gun, even in a constitutional carry state, you've got the NICS system.

00:35:11.000 N-I-C-S. 1.00

00:35:12.000 National Instant Criminal Check System or something like that?

00:35:12.000 What is it?

00:35:15.000 Or check system.

00:35:17.000 You walk in.

00:35:17.000 You say, I want to buy the gun.

00:35:18.000 You got to fill out your form.

00:35:19.000 They say, give us a minute.

00:35:20.000 And then sometimes they'll be like, you're delayed.

00:35:22.000 Have a nice day.

00:35:23.000 You can't buy the gun.

00:35:24.000 Because universal background checks already exist.

00:35:26.000 You see, what he's trying to say is, if you live in the mountains of West Virginia, and you want to sell a gun to your neighbor who also lives in the mountains of West Virginia, he wants you to be forced to drive to a local gun store, FFL, federally licensed, and do the transfer that way.

00:35:41.000 Personally, I think you're usually better off doing that.

00:35:44.000 But I understand why you want to give your neighbor a weapon because you live in the middle of nowhere and there's wild animals or you just need to defend yourself and your property and there's no police.

00:35:52.000 It makes sense.

00:35:53.000 That's what he's saying.

00:35:54.000 Banning assault weapons is meaningless because what they're talking about is like it's a pistol grip versus a rifle grip and it's just meaningless.

00:36:01.000 High-capacity magazines.

00:36:02.000 When you buy an AR, how many rounds does the magazine typically hold?

00:36:06.000 30 rounds!

00:36:06.000 30.

00:36:07.000 That's standard.

00:36:08.000 But they're saying high capacity, anything more than 10.

00:36:12.000 But when you literally buy the weapon, it's a 30-round magazine.

00:36:16.000 When you go on the shelf, all 30.

00:36:18.000 You want a 10-round magazine?

00:36:19.000 I guess you can get one if you want to make one.

00:36:21.000 But this is what they're trying to do.

00:36:22.000 They're trying to reduce the standard capacity.

00:36:24.000 Eliminate gun manufacturers' immunity from liability?

00:36:27.000 Now that's just insane.

00:36:29.000 Making a weapon, and then you get sued for what someone else does?

00:36:32.000 Okay, alright.

00:36:33.000 Let's eliminate all car manufacturers' liability for what someone does to their car.

00:36:36.000 Yeah, I was just gonna say, or knife manufacturers, right?

00:36:37.000 Someone gets stabbed with your product, you go to court, buddy.

00:36:40.000 You gotta pay a settlement to their family.

00:36:41.000 You can't come after Pfizer.

00:36:42.000 Yeah, that's it.

00:36:43.000 That's the liability.

00:36:44.000 You can go after Colt, you can go after Remington, but you can't go after Pfizer or Moderna.

00:36:48.000 Pharmaceutical companies should not, in my opinion, have liability.

00:36:51.000 I think that if someone takes a vaccine from a company and gets really sick, that there's a court that'll protect these things is ridiculous.

00:36:57.000 These companies, like, they feel like they really... Wait, you're saying they shouldn't have liability?

00:37:01.000 I think that they should be able to be sued.

00:37:03.000 No, I don't think they should be immune from damaging people with their medicines or with their drugs or whatever you want to call them.

00:37:07.000 Well, I agree.

00:37:09.000 There's challenges in that.

00:37:11.000 There's going to be side effects for basically everything.

00:37:14.000 And, you know, you might be allergic to something and not know, or you might be the one in whatever many.

00:37:19.000 Let's say you get some kind of swelling treatment and they're like, there's a rare side effect that gives you rash, you get a rash.

00:37:25.000 Yeah, I think top-down medicine production isn't the way of the future.

00:37:28.000 A lot of it's like, we're going to start 3D printing medicine that's tailor-made for your chemistry, your body chemistry.

00:37:33.000 And so this whole top-down medicine where they make one drug and give it to everyone is obviously not working because a lot of people aren't doing well with it.

00:37:40.000 So I have a story about Nancy Pelosi asking me about guns in a backyard in Beverly Hills.

00:37:45.000 Really?

00:37:45.000 I'd like to hear it.

00:37:46.000 Absolutely.

00:37:46.000 I know, right?

00:37:47.000 Even that got your attention.

00:37:48.000 Yeah.

00:37:48.000 Let's hear it.

00:37:49.000 So I'm back there.

00:37:50.000 I got invited to sing at Tony Bennett's 85th birthday party.

00:37:55.000 And I'm in the backyard of Ted Sarandos, the founder of Netflix.

00:37:59.000 I'm in his backyard.

00:38:00.000 There's John Travolta, Queen Latifah and I are bringing out the birthday cake.

00:38:04.000 I mean, you can't make this up.

00:38:06.000 I'm looking around this backyard going, I'm not supposed to be here.

00:38:10.000 So I'm just going to have some fun.

00:38:11.000 You know, like, no, one of these things is not like the other.

00:38:15.000 So I'm back there and I'm hanging out and I see Nancy Pelosi over there starts making a beeline towards me. 1.00

00:38:21.000 And I'll be honest, it was frightening.

00:38:23.000 It was frightening.

00:38:24.000 She's coming and she walks right up to me. 0.99

00:38:27.000 She doesn't say hello.

00:38:28.000 She goes, you seem like a reasonable person.

00:38:32.000 I guess meaning for a guy in a cowboy hat and a handlebar mustache because otherwise you wouldn't be at this backyard, right?

00:38:38.000 You must be a reasonable, you seem like a reasonable person.

00:38:41.000 I said, well, I appreciate that, Madam Speaker.

00:38:43.000 She goes, can I ask you a question about guns?

00:38:46.000 I said, absolutely.

00:38:48.000 So Vince Vaughn is standing there and Vince leans in.

00:38:51.000 Travolta's got his arms crossed.

00:38:53.000 He's leaning in.

00:38:54.000 Everybody's leaning in.

00:38:56.000 And Pelosi goes, now I'm not a hunter, but I'm pretty sure that if I shot that first bullet at whatever I was hunting and I didn't hit it, it would run away.

00:39:07.000 I go, that's correct.

00:39:08.000 She goes, so why does anybody need more than seven rounds is what she said.

00:39:12.000 Why does anybody need more than seven rounds?

00:39:15.000 And they're gone.

00:39:16.000 And I held up my cell phone and I said, well, Madam Speaker, right now back in Nashville, Tennessee, I have a wife and I got a three-year-old son and a five-year-old son and we live right in the middle of town.

00:39:26.000 I said, now if she had called my phone right now and said, John, I hear footsteps coming up the stairs.

00:39:31.000 I said, Madam Speaker, would you advise me to tell my wife to grab the one with seven rounds or the one with 30 rounds? 0.95

00:39:38.000 And her eyes kind of got big and she said, is that the way you look at that?

00:39:43.000 I said, yes, ma'am.

00:39:45.000 She goes, well, it was nice to meet you, and then just walked off.

00:39:49.000 But for a brief moment, this light bulb pops.

00:39:51.000 I believe, first of all, they know that anyway.

00:39:53.000 That's why they all have armed guards.

00:39:54.000 Yeah.

00:39:55.000 But I was able to, dead in her eye, one time say, it's to protect our families.

00:39:59.000 Of course, we don't need 30 rounds to hunt a deer, and there's nothing in the Second Amendment about hunting.

00:40:03.000 It's all about defense.

00:40:04.000 Good for you.

00:40:05.000 How many rounds does the, they're armed guards?

00:40:07.000 Right?

00:40:08.000 What kind of gun? Yes, I was just gonna ask they're gonna have 17 plus ones. They're gonna have 21 plus ones

00:40:14.000 They're gonna have high capacity. They're gonna have multiple high capacity clips on their belts because if

00:40:18.000 something breaks out They're in a gunfight. Oh and and I think when it comes to

00:40:23.000 the speaker She's probably got a couple guys with short barreled rifles. 0.99

00:40:26.000 No doubt about it. No doubt about it So you can confront them and I would always advise anybody

00:40:31.000 if you're ever talking to your neighbors friends about gun about guns and clips

00:40:35.000 and whatever is that You have the right to defend your family how you see fit.

00:40:41.000 You don't get to tell me how I get to defend my family.

00:40:44.000 Those are my kids.

00:40:45.000 That is my wife. 0.90

00:40:47.000 God put me in charge of them.

00:40:49.000 In charge of their defense.

00:40:50.000 And if something happens to them, that's on me.

00:40:53.000 And I'd rather deal with your bad opinion of my high-capacity gun than deal with a dead child or a dead family.

00:41:00.000 We already got a couple people saying clips?

00:41:03.000 Yeah, clip magazines.

00:41:05.000 It's that mentality that allowed us to build this country the way we did.

00:41:09.000 If we were all getting picked off at home and the government had total control and they weren't afraid of the population, we never would have had this beautiful liberal society that we organized.

00:41:18.000 Sorry to use the word liberal.

00:41:19.000 I'm bringing it back to what it really means, which is liberty.

00:41:22.000 Sure.

00:41:23.000 No, I mean, look, the founders make it perfectly clear in the founding documents of this country that owning a gun is a right that is available to all people.

00:41:31.000 It is not a privilege for the ultra-wealthy who can have formed armed guards and whatever paperwork these bureaucrats would try to put you through in order to be able to defend yourself.

00:41:39.000 But now, John, would you agree with me when I say that the Second Amendment guarantees our right to have nuclear weapons and biological weapons?

00:41:45.000 Uh-oh.

00:41:46.000 No.

00:41:46.000 I didn't see that in there.

00:41:47.000 Oh, I do.

00:41:48.000 I see it in there.

00:41:49.000 Do you?

00:41:49.000 Yeah, so I got in trouble because I pointed that out and they take this clip of me where they cut my full statement and say Tim Pool calls for people to have nuclear and biological weapons.

00:41:59.000 What I said was, the Constitution says the right to keep and bear arms.

00:42:02.000 It doesn't specify what.

00:42:05.000 Right.

00:42:05.000 And back then, as a privateer, as a private citizen, you could have any weapon the government could have.

00:42:11.000 Correct.

00:42:11.000 That hasn't changed.

00:42:12.000 They wanted equal force.

00:42:13.000 Right.

00:42:14.000 Yeah.

00:42:14.000 Has that changed?

00:42:16.000 Well, yeah, we now cannot get our hands on weapons that are equal force.

00:42:19.000 But the Second Amendment didn't change.

00:42:21.000 They just started passing laws without any, I guess, legitimate questions as to what the limits should have actually been.

00:42:29.000 And this is what Joe Biden is doing now.

00:42:31.000 Now, I would not want people to have nuclear weapons or biological weapons.

00:42:35.000 That's a scary thought, some lunatic guy with a bioweapon, because of how much destruction could be wrought.

00:42:41.000 But there's a very serious question about When do we draw that line and say, regardless of the constitutional amendments, we've decided you can't have things.

00:42:50.000 You'd have to amend the constitution to change that.

00:42:52.000 That's a good argument.

00:42:54.000 And I think we could easily amend it to be like, yeah, we've decided nuclear weapons and bioweapons, like we're not going to include in the second amendment.

00:42:59.000 That's cool, right?

00:43:00.000 Yeah.

00:43:00.000 Let's take that off the table.

00:43:01.000 Well, I think there's also another serious question to ask, which is, why did Biden just decide recently that this was going to be his next moral crusade?

00:43:07.000 The country's falling apart, we have runaway inflation, he's acknowledged food shortages are coming, and he's going to sit here and tell us that his goal is to end gun violence?

00:43:15.000 It's because he thinks there's going to be gun violence if there's famine.

00:43:19.000 He wants to try and stop it by taking the guns away, so there's criminal gangs running around creating mafia?

00:43:23.000 Like, what the heck?

00:43:24.000 I'll push back a little bit. 0.58

00:43:25.000 I mean, it may just be he needs a distraction.

00:43:28.000 Could be.

00:43:28.000 And so, you know, in response to Biden, Jeffrey Miller said, Yep.

00:43:31.000 Oh look, a new emotionally vivid issue to distract us from inflation and your catastrophic

00:43:36.000 monetary policy.

00:43:37.000 Yep.

00:43:38.000 So, you know.

00:43:40.000 Putin. I don't know what he said.

00:43:41.000 He said what I thought was true for a long time that I found out was not true. And I

00:43:45.000 wonder how many gun owners think this is true. I'm friends with a guy that's been in the

00:43:49.000 ATF 29 years. And we were hanging out on a little vacation together and he was kind of

00:43:54.000 bumming around and they were trying to, it was another one of these gun bills were trying

00:43:58.000 to get passed. And I said, man, you know, they ever come door to door wanting to take

00:44:03.000 I said, the ATF, right?

00:44:04.000 He goes, John, people don't know what guns you own.

00:44:08.000 The government doesn't know what guns you own.

00:44:10.000 I said, what are you talking about?

00:44:12.000 He said, there is no gun registry for the United States of America.

00:44:16.000 He said, here's how a crime works.

00:44:18.000 I go to a crime scene.

00:44:19.000 There's a Colt pistol laying in the street.

00:44:21.000 We have to get the Colt pistol.

00:44:22.000 We have to call Colt, the manufacturer, find out who they sold the gun to, what store they originally sold the gun to.

00:44:30.000 It could be a 30-year-old weapon.

00:44:32.000 If the store still exists, and if they still have records going back that far, we can find out who purchased the gun originally.

00:44:39.000 Then we have to go find that person, and if that person no longer owns the gun, we have to see if they have any records of who they sold it to, and on and on and on.

00:44:47.000 He said we would have to do that with literally every single weapon in the United States to know who's got what guns.

00:44:52.000 So is this just like a fear tactic?

00:44:53.000 They want people to think that they know who has what gun?

00:44:55.000 They don't know.

00:44:56.000 They do not know.

00:44:57.000 Now in Illinois, California, New York, they have state gun registries in those states.

00:45:02.000 And he said those are the only three where they actually know what guns you own over the past 15-20 years.

00:45:07.000 California, New York, and Illinois.

00:45:09.000 That's why the gun crime is so low.

00:45:10.000 I was going to say, there's something interesting about those states as it pertains to their gun laws.

00:45:15.000 They also have a whole lot of gun crime.

00:45:18.000 Look, Baltimore has got serious gun crime as well.

00:45:20.000 It's not just those states, but when I hear Illinois, I'm like, they call it Chirac because of how many gun deaths there are.

00:45:28.000 There was a year where there were more gun deaths in Chicago than the entirety of Iraq. 0.70

00:45:32.000 Yeah, and their laws don't seem to do anything to stop that.

00:45:35.000 Granted, I think it was in the 2000s, there was a court ruling, I think it was a Supreme Court ruling, so now you can actually get a gun in Illinois, though it's damn near impossible.

00:45:44.000 Yeah.

00:45:45.000 I just found that to be, isn't that a myth though?

00:45:47.000 Yeah.

00:45:47.000 Didn't you think that was probably the case?

00:45:49.000 For sure.

00:45:49.000 They just, they'll show up and go, Mr. Rich, we see that you own XYZ.

00:45:53.000 He goes, we have no idea what you own.

00:45:55.000 Yeah.

00:45:55.000 And the movies, they're like, we got the gun, we got the serial number.

00:45:57.000 We're going to run it through the registry.

00:45:59.000 And they're like, oh, we got it.

00:45:59.000 If there's a registry.

00:46:01.000 Now, when I see tweets like that from Biden, he's talking about universal background checks.

00:46:05.000 If he said universal registry, That's a different animal.

00:46:10.000 That's a different thing if you ever see the word registry.

00:46:12.000 But the background check is probably the registry.

00:46:15.000 Yeah.

00:46:15.000 That's probably the plan.

00:46:16.000 That's probably the way they would word it in a bill would actually turn into a registry.

00:46:20.000 I find that we're on the verge of 3D printed guns like the 21st century is going to be all about crafting your own weaponry and stuff.

00:46:26.000 The verge of?

00:46:27.000 Yeah, we're in it.

00:46:28.000 It has begun.

00:46:28.000 The Ghost Gun is a real product.

00:46:30.000 But the Ghost Gun is you just making your weapon.

00:46:33.000 Control Pew, we've had on the show, posting all these videos on Twitter of the guns they just make. 0.77

00:46:37.000 Yeah.

00:46:38.000 How effective are those at this point?

00:46:39.000 I remember seeing some early prototypes, and they were pretty lousy, really.

00:46:43.000 Yup.

00:46:43.000 Yeah, the early ones, they had to pull the trigger with a string from like eight feet back so it didn't explode in their hand because they didn't know.

00:46:50.000 They were plastic.

00:46:51.000 They'd fall apart.

00:46:51.000 They'd fire one bullet at a time, but the new ones are... The first one, you remember what it was called?

00:46:56.000 Yeah, the Liberator.

00:46:57.000 The little white plastic handgun that was good for like five shots or something before it broke.

00:47:02.000 No, one.

00:47:02.000 One shot.

00:47:03.000 One shot.

00:47:03.000 Yeah, the Liberator.

00:47:04.000 But now, if you go on Twitter and you follow Control-Pew, and you look at the... CTRL, yeah.

00:47:08.000 Yeah, C-T-R-L-P-E-W, and you look at all the things they're posting, yo, they have unique designs and these things work. 1.00

00:47:17.000 It's no longer like the old days.

00:47:19.000 They've figured this stuff out.

00:47:20.000 It's like a whack-a-mole.

00:47:21.000 I can see a totalitarian regime would use that as a game of whack-a-mole to just write more and more laws of how to go after more and more guns.

00:47:27.000 It's like, dude, at some point, like, you're stepping on your own foot.

00:47:30.000 You know, we're working together here.

00:47:33.000 There's real problems out there and it comes down to do you have enough water and do you have enough food and do you have enough space to move around?

00:47:38.000 Decentralization has done wonders.

00:47:40.000 With the internet, one of the things that's pushing back on the establishment cult woke nonsense is that people who live in rural areas now have the ability to build community.

00:47:52.000 It used to be that the message, the narrative, would come top down from big cities with big city intellectuals, and that was it.

00:47:58.000 Community was formed around their broadcast tower.

00:48:01.000 But now, because of the internet, people can build their own communities, which is allowing more conservatives to coalesce around certain personalities, certain media outlets.

00:48:10.000 You have the same thing with 3D printing.

00:48:12.000 They can't stop it.

00:48:14.000 And I think, when you look at what's going on now with the culture war, I'm fairly optimistic, especially when you look at a lot of the data.

00:48:22.000 We have one story.

00:48:23.000 Actually, let me pull up the story here and jump straight to this story we have here and give you guys some optimism.

00:48:29.000 This is from Slow Boring, which is Matthew Iglesias' substack.

00:48:34.000 He's one of the founders of Vox.com, V-O-X, lefty.

00:48:37.000 Here's what he tweeted.

00:48:39.000 He said, suppose Democrats get 48% of the vote in 2022 and then rebound to 50% in 2024.

00:48:45.000 Pretty normal.

00:48:46.000 But under today's maps, that means a GOP trifecta with 60 or 61 senators.

00:48:52.000 Yo, I read this today and I was just, it's shocking.

00:48:55.000 I mean, looking right now at the current data based on all the aggregate polls, and assuming we don't see changes from now until the election, it looks like Republicans not only will win Congress, But that if this track remains steady, by 2024, they'll have 60 or 61 seats in the Senate, which means they're going to steamroll through basically whatever they want.

00:49:18.000 It's not absolutely perfect because the Republican Party is kind of... Yeah.

00:49:21.000 Maybe if people go and vote in their primaries, this will have a bigger impact.

00:49:25.000 But looking at this... Wow.

00:49:29.000 Can you have an election if there's a famine?

00:49:31.000 Or if they lock things down again.

00:49:33.000 So let me just throw it to this year from Timcast real quick to go into the context.

00:49:38.000 Philadelphia to reinstate mask mandate for indoor public places.

00:49:41.000 Now, I don't want to be as bold as to say that the lockdowns are going to come back hard, because that's what I said last year.

00:49:45.000 At the end of last year, I said, I think they're going to bring all the lockdowns back.

00:49:49.000 Why?

00:49:49.000 They got an election to win.

00:49:51.000 And they're losing right now.

00:49:52.000 And what can they do?

00:49:54.000 Well, they need chaos, right?

00:49:56.000 So I think there's a political play.

00:49:58.000 However, Luke Rutkowski of We Are Chained said, no, no.

00:50:01.000 They're gonna ease it up.

00:50:02.000 They've lost this one.

00:50:03.000 It's bad for them.

00:50:04.000 It's hurting them.

00:50:04.000 They're gonna have to ease it up.

00:50:06.000 And then in January into February, they started easing up the restrictions, started ending a lot of these mandates.

00:50:11.000 I said, you know what?

00:50:11.000 I guess I was wrong.

00:50:12.000 They really are ending these things.

00:50:14.000 And now people are shouting out Alex Jones, who what he said was, they're gonna ease the restrictions, get everybody to calm down, and then they're gonna slam them back down on us.

00:50:24.000 And then I'll give myself some credit by saying, aha!

00:50:27.000 The rat hope experiment we talked about.

00:50:29.000 You know about that one?

00:50:30.000 No.

00:50:31.000 So they put a rat in a vat full of water, several rats, and let them swim.

00:50:36.000 And they couldn't grip on anything.

00:50:37.000 After 15 minutes, the rats gave up and they drowned.

00:50:40.000 Then, they take more rats.

00:50:41.000 Put them in the vat full of water, the cylinder.

00:50:43.000 Let them swim.

00:50:45.000 Right before they give up, they pick them up and put them down and dry them off.

00:50:48.000 Let them rest, catch their breath.

00:50:50.000 Then, pick them back up and put them back in the water.

00:50:53.000 The rats then swim for 60 hours.

00:50:56.000 Because they had hope.

00:50:57.000 That if they just didn't give up, they would make it.

00:51:01.000 So, based on what Alex said, you know, based on what Luke said, what I said, I'm like, maybe what's gonna happen is these restrictions being lifted in the calm-down period are so that people can have a sense of hope that it will eventually come to an end, but maybe this next lockdown is the lockdown that just goes on for a long time.

00:51:17.000 Isn't that the definition of a Psy-Op?

00:51:19.000 Yeah.

00:51:20.000 That's the definition of a Psy-Op. 0.98

00:51:21.000 You're playing a Psy-Op on that rat. 1.00

00:51:23.000 We're just rats. 0.97

00:51:25.000 You know, but I think Americans have woken up to that and I think it is to such a degree that it's now not 0.91

00:51:31.000 Republicans or Democrats. It's just Americans period waking up to it going these people are playing us in a psyop right

00:51:37.000 now Listen anybody that identifies I've raised a lot of money

00:51:41.000 over the years for Republicans. I've campaigned with Republicans

00:51:44.000 And in the past two or three years I have witnessed heard and learned

00:51:50.000 Things about so many Republicans that I had supported that blew my mind how much they were betraying the people

00:51:58.000 oh, yeah that they represent and And I've gone out and told people that are hardcore Republicans or whatever, I go, if you're an American, you better not identify with either party, just be an American.

00:52:10.000 Vote for what you think is best for your family.

00:52:12.000 That's it.

00:52:13.000 Don't rely on these people anymore.

00:52:16.000 If I had to guess a percentage, I'm going to say 85% of all politicians are not worth the paper that they signed when they got that office.

00:52:24.000 Did you see the governor of Utah using his pronouns and saying latinx?

00:52:29.000 No, I didn't say that.

00:52:30.000 And people are like, Latinks? 0.99

00:52:32.000 This is a Republican and he's just all on board. 0.97

00:52:35.000 I would not be surprised if people don't go out and vote in their primaries and we end up with just more neocon, establishment, uniparty trash.

00:52:45.000 Give it a year or two and Mitch McConnell will be like, I'm Mitch McConnell, he him, and I'm here to give a statement about taxes, and that's it.

00:52:53.000 Unless people actually vote in the primaries and get rid of these establishment party players.

00:52:57.000 If we don't have them force you to put a mask on your kid, we won't be able to cut taxes 2% for three years.

00:53:04.000 Right, right.

00:53:05.000 And then you'll have more money for your kids while they're in school being groomed.

00:53:09.000 I basically stopped voting political parties when I was like 15 or 16.

00:53:12.000 It didn't make any sense anymore.

00:53:13.000 I was like, why don't I just pick the best person?

00:53:16.000 So that's what I do now.

00:53:17.000 Well, how do you know who's a good person anymore?

00:53:19.000 I mean, here's a question.

00:53:20.000 Who can you believe anymore?

00:53:22.000 Andrew Yang.

00:53:22.000 That was one.

00:53:23.000 Oh, no.

00:53:24.000 I mean, he wasn't lying.

00:53:25.000 Yeah, he goes on CNN.

00:53:27.000 He gets a CNN contract after everything.

00:53:28.000 Oh, maybe he got bought out.

00:53:30.000 I like the idea of the Ford Party.

00:53:31.000 I donated to them.

00:53:32.000 That's fine.

00:53:33.000 But that guy lost a substantial amount of trust when he went establishment.

00:53:37.000 Sure.

00:53:37.000 And then he walked away a little bit after, but nah.

00:53:39.000 He was talking about economics.

00:53:40.000 I felt like he was talking about real problems.

00:53:42.000 Sometimes people like Tulsi Gabbard gets to the heart of the issue.

00:53:44.000 I mean, she's a little bit too hawkish on war for me.

00:53:47.000 You mean anti-war?

00:53:49.000 No, actually.

00:53:49.000 I think she's a little too... I mean, she's in the military.

00:53:51.000 She comes from the military.

00:53:52.000 She's the least bad in the Democratic Party on the military issue, but I agree with you.

00:53:55.000 She's not perfect.

00:53:56.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:53:57.000 She's the one who keeps complaining about Americans entering war.

00:54:00.000 Like, that's her whole shtick, is stopping the Americans. 0.65

00:54:03.000 She was also, like, afraid of terrorists.

00:54:05.000 And I'm like, I don't want a freak in the White House that's talking about terrorism anymore.

00:54:09.000 I'm tired of that.

00:54:11.000 Yeah, I mean, Ron Paul talked about mark and reprisal against terror.

00:54:15.000 Ron Paul was pretty cool.

00:54:16.000 Just... So, I think...

00:54:18.000 There are acts of real terror, but the whole 9-11 terrorism thing that got shoved down my throat for 20 years, I'm fed up with.

00:54:25.000 So someone's saying, like Ron Paul, we should go after the terrorists and not have these regime change wars, I don't think is a pro-war position.

00:54:32.000 Do you mean Ron Paul or Rand Paul?

00:54:35.000 Because I think Ron Paul's position was we just need to pull out entirely and we shouldn't even have foreign bases.

00:54:39.000 Ron Paul, uh, yes, but he also talked about how instead of invading Iraq and Afghanistan, we could have issued letters of mark and reprisal.

00:54:46.000 Oh, okay.

00:54:47.000 So we could specifically target rogue groups instead of declaring war and, you know, we didn't do that. 0.89

00:54:52.000 Trying to build a democracy in Afghanistan, all that ridiculousness. 1.00

00:54:54.000 But, but, you know, anyway, to, to, to, to, to back to the story, I think even, you know, the Democrat view on this is apocalyptic.

00:55:01.000 And so I'm wondering if, one, they'll use lockdowns politically, or they just, Lie down and Republicans come in and sweep things up?

00:55:11.000 Yeah, maybe they'll lock down and then lift the lockdowns shortly before the election cycle begins, like six months or something. 0.99

00:55:17.000 I am so done with these stupid lockdowns. 0.99

00:55:21.000 I'm so done with it. 1.00

00:55:22.000 Well, take a look at this.

00:55:23.000 We all thought we were, by the way.

00:55:24.000 Take a look at this story.

00:55:25.000 Daily Mail.

00:55:26.000 Proof that blue states did fail their people during the pandemic.

00:55:30.000 Harsh lockdowns caused huge death rates, ruined kids education, and destroyed business.

00:55:35.000 Bombshell research finally shows with New York, New Jersey, California, and Illinois all receiving an F minus grade.

00:55:41.000 Are you telling me that JB Pritzker of Illinois' brilliant plan to give $300,000 of federal COVID relief money to Black Lives Matter didn't make the virus go away? 0.58

00:55:51.000 I'm shocked.

00:55:52.000 No, because we learned that the Black Lives Matter protests reduced the spread of COVID.

00:55:58.000 Exactly.

00:55:59.000 So it made sense.

00:56:00.000 So if he gives that money to BLM, he's specifically giving it to groups that cannot spread COVID.

00:56:05.000 I don't know.

00:56:05.000 I guess the world's upside down.

00:56:07.000 None of it makes sense to me.

00:56:08.000 This is where we end up, man.

00:56:10.000 Yeah.

00:56:10.000 Maybe.

00:56:11.000 I don't know.

00:56:11.000 What do you think, John?

00:56:12.000 Well, I mean, you know, if they lock everybody down and the red states push back and they exercise their 10th Amendment and go, yeah, we're not locking down. 0.73

00:56:18.000 We're going to have the election as planned.

00:56:20.000 And all the blue states are locked down and nobody can get out and go vote.

00:56:23.000 Maybe that actually plays to the other side.

00:56:25.000 It's interesting, the boomerang effect and somewhat of the whiplash coming back.

00:56:29.000 How do you lock everybody down now knowing how much they hate it and still win an election?

00:56:35.000 Also, with people seeing the effects of the lockdown, this is part of why it was so important for them to try to scapegoat Putin and Russia.

00:56:41.000 This is part of why they had to say the inflation and the food shortages were his fault.

00:56:45.000 It was the result of a foreign adversary, not the fact that they printed trillions of dollars, not the fact that they shut the economy down for two years.

00:56:50.000 Because anyone who's really paying attention knows that this is only going to get a whole lot worse if we lock down.

00:56:56.000 Is there actually evidence that they're saying they're thinking about locking or shutting down?

00:56:59.000 Because I've seen masks.

00:57:00.000 I've seen masks.

00:57:01.000 If there was, I just didn't catch it.

00:57:02.000 What was the first thing they did in 2020?

00:57:05.000 Fifteen days to slow the spread.

00:57:07.000 Fifteen days of what?

00:57:08.000 Of like shutting down, I don't know, businesses or something.

00:57:11.000 Working from home, going home, shutting down.

00:57:13.000 Did they do masks before they shut everything down?

00:57:15.000 I can't remember.

00:57:16.000 They went back and forth on it.

00:57:17.000 Yeah.

00:57:18.000 First there was no, you don't need them, and then you did need them.

00:57:18.000 Right?

00:57:21.000 But like you're saying- I think the masks were first.

00:57:23.000 The masks, I understand, but the shutting down, man, that's the poison.

00:57:28.000 We cannot do that to our economy.

00:57:29.000 No, it shut down first.

00:57:30.000 I know because I was on spring break with my kids when all that happened.

00:57:34.000 I'm sitting there in Floribama.

00:57:36.000 If you've never been there, go to Floribama, guys.

00:57:38.000 Oh, cool.

00:57:38.000 The edge of Florida, Alabama.

00:57:40.000 Oh, it's the Redneck Riviera. 0.80

00:57:42.000 That's the heart of it right there.

00:57:44.000 But we were down there and I'm watching the news and then we get the email like three or four days into spring break that the schools are shut down.

00:57:49.000 You're not going back to school.

00:57:51.000 And all that started to happen.

00:57:52.000 All the interviews I was doing, concerts I was doing, they closed the door on you right out of the gate.

00:57:58.000 And then the mask was when they started letting you move around, but you got to have a mask or two masks or whatever it was.

00:58:03.000 Because I mean, the concert scene is everybody just went, bang, it was just over.

00:58:08.000 Well, if you're rich, you don't have to worry about any of it.

00:58:10.000 You don't want to wear a mask on a plane?

00:58:12.000 You have to worry about it in a different way.

00:58:14.000 Like, is the money that I have going to be valuable if the economy gets annihilated as a rich person?

00:58:18.000 That's the thought process.

00:58:19.000 Yeah, but they diversify their assets in ways that middle class people don't. 0.99

00:58:22.000 Yeah, Bill Gates bought a bunch of farmland.

00:58:24.000 Rich people buy land.

00:58:25.000 And so, yeah, they don't have to worry about it.

00:58:27.000 You don't have to worry about where their food comes from.

00:58:29.000 You might own land on paper, but if someone, an armed militia, goes there and sits on it, then you're going to have to take an armed militia to get them out of there.

00:58:34.000 And that's going to cost you probably more than the land is worth.

00:58:37.000 So it's also about other assets and other resources.

00:58:39.000 But just having a substantial amount of resources, you command access and power.

00:58:46.000 Depending on how you transfer it, what you trade, a diversified portfolio, or whatever you want to call it, wealth asset management.

00:58:52.000 For these people buying land, yeah, in the event that we do go more riotous because of lack of food, the property you own is meaningless.

00:59:00.000 You got a piece of paper that says your name on it, some dude kicks the door and says it's mine now, what are you gonna do about it?

00:59:05.000 Look how people were rioting before we had any food shortages, just because the media told them they should be upset.

00:59:09.000 Yeah, I think they were doing that because they didn't like being locked down.

00:59:12.000 The George Floyd riots, that thing, it was like it was an excuse to get out of the house and party.

00:59:16.000 Burning Man got cancelled, so let's do it on the street of New York.

00:59:18.000 Didn't they just cancel E3?

00:59:20.000 Yeah, I think E3 got canceled, and I'm wondering for what reason, but I think we might see lockdowns come again.

00:59:20.000 I don't know.

00:59:26.000 Because I don't know how else Democrats can even try to win.

00:59:29.000 But don't you think that the lockdowns would be bad for them politically?

00:59:33.000 How would that help them win?

00:59:34.000 I don't understand.

00:59:35.000 I think that would be bad, but then I think they would get universal mail-in voting, and then in a completely unrelated story, I think then the Democrats will win.

00:59:43.000 Interesting, yeah.

00:59:44.000 Completely unrelated.

00:59:46.000 I think, you know, there'll be lockdowns.

00:59:48.000 You have weird coincidences sometimes.

00:59:49.000 Universal mail-in voting.

00:59:50.000 And then, uh, what happens is, uh, just... Oh, totally as an aside, other story.

00:59:55.000 I think Democrats win.

00:59:56.000 Interesting.

00:59:57.000 Just in general, in life.

00:59:58.000 Uh, they win.

00:59:59.000 Yeah, E3 was canceled.

01:00:01.000 I think for... Did you know why it was canceled?

01:00:02.000 Oh, I didn't know that, yeah.

01:00:03.000 So I'm wondering if it's COVID or if it's just something else.

01:00:06.000 Says it was years in the making.

01:00:07.000 Let's see that.

01:00:08.000 Years in the making.

01:00:09.000 E3 is that big video game conference and they announced it was canceled, so I see that and I'm like, whoa, what just happened?

01:00:13.000 But, you know, I haven't been hyper-focused on that because the world's falling apart.

01:00:17.000 You know how it goes, dude.

01:00:19.000 Do you think strong states that are led by conservatives would push back now that they know what they've known and you've got stories like that about what a fail, an F minus.

01:00:27.000 Yeah.

01:00:28.000 That they would go, no, we know it didn't work, we're not doing it.

01:00:30.000 But then what, Civil War?

01:00:32.000 The red states tell Joe Biden to shove off.

01:00:33.000 We're not listening.

01:00:36.000 Let's say the Democrats somehow manage to pull a win despite all of the evidence suggesting they'll lose.

01:00:40.000 And then with Senate and the House and the presidency, they go for universal nationwide restrictions or something like that.

01:00:48.000 Yeah, the red states might say no, but then what?

01:00:51.000 Well, I mean, you've still got 10th Amendment.

01:00:53.000 right you know the living laboratories of america it's one of my favorite praises where each each

01:00:57.000 state can do it their own way i mean you've seen de santis do it over and over he's flexing his

01:01:01.000 muscles down there going now we're not doing that and he just doesn't do it and the government goes

01:01:06.000 well then we're not going to send you any money he goes i don't need any money we have a surplus of

01:01:10.000 18 billion dollars you don't need your money this is what we saw in the first lockdown when

01:01:14.000 joe biden was coming out giving these speeches it was obvious he wasn't talking to red states

01:01:19.000 He would say, you know, to America, we got to do these things.

01:01:21.000 And I'm like, the red states are doing none of those things.

01:01:23.000 So he's only addressing blue states at this point.

01:01:26.000 I don't, I don't, I don't know what ends up happening in terms of this country eroding and falling apart.

01:01:31.000 I certainly think we're there.

01:01:33.000 I was thinking about this.

01:01:35.000 I think we were driving somewhere recently, like we were out here in Nashville, we're driving around.

01:01:38.000 And I just, I think I was saying something to you, Ian, about how The left can be told that Joe Biden sniffs little girls and posted videos on it, and they'll say, I don't care.

01:01:47.000 I want you to hurt. 0.99

01:01:49.000 So they'll vote for Joe Biden, despite the fact that he's got a garbage career. 0.99

01:01:53.000 He's been, the press has written about his corruption over and over and over again. 0.99

01:01:57.000 They'll say, I don't care.

01:01:58.000 I want you to lose. 0.92

01:01:59.000 It's like, you're voting for a guy who sniffs little girls. 0.86

01:02:01.000 I don't care. 1.00

01:02:01.000 Trump's gross too. 1.00

01:02:02.000 And it's like, It's like that kid that flips the table when he's losing a game of Monopoly. 0.99

01:02:06.000 I once saw a kid playing Pokemon at a tournament hit another kid with a Razor Scooter.

01:02:12.000 Wow.

01:02:12.000 That's what it's like.

01:02:15.000 You hear the rain?

01:02:15.000 Yeah, that rain got intense.

01:02:17.000 E3 was cancelled in the physical form because of COVID, according to them, and then they cancelled the actual event all around, and they said they're prepping for 2023.

01:02:23.000 They're gonna do it again.

01:02:24.000 So they shut down E3 because of COVID before any lockdowns or masks or what?

01:02:29.000 Why?

01:02:29.000 It's a complicated question with a lengthy answer, and I'm like, oh god, do I really want to do this?

01:02:35.000 It's a long article.

01:02:36.000 It means you're about to get lied to.

01:02:38.000 It's still talking about COVID halfway down the page.

01:02:40.000 It's probably COVID.

01:02:41.000 Just fear COVID, you know.

01:02:43.000 So John, you told us a story about being at this party with Nancy Pelosi.

01:02:51.000 I'm just wondering, you're here, you're speaking out, you seem rather fearless on these issues, but are there ramifications to being in mainstream U.S.

01:02:59.000 entertainment and challenging the establishment, smack-talking them? 0.99

01:03:03.000 As we say in the country, does a bear shit in the woods, right? 1.00

01:03:06.000 That's a big West Virginia saying as well. 0.99

01:03:08.000 Yeah, you know what happened with me was is I was becoming that guy that would yell at the TV.

01:03:17.000 But then I would go out at the industry events, a red carpet, an interview, whatever, and understand that the majority of people running our industry were absolutely hated people that thought like I think.

01:03:29.000 And so I would just shut my mouth, bite your tongue, don't say it in here, and just go back home and yell at the TV again.

01:03:35.000 And at some point, I felt like I was sacrificing my integrity.

01:03:40.000 Sacrificing my freedom of speech.

01:03:42.000 Why do we have these things?

01:03:44.000 Because hundreds of thousands of Americans have died and bled and sacrificed and did whatever it took to keep those freedoms alive.

01:03:50.000 That's why the lines are coming into the country and there's no lines going out because we have those freedoms and I'm gonna sit here and not say what's on my mind and speak what I know to be true because I'm afraid Somebody's not gonna give me an award or somebody's not gonna play my song at the radio station or whatever.

01:04:06.000 Yeah, that's the penalty.

01:04:08.000 But which one is bigger?

01:04:09.000 The founding fathers are walking out there going, hey, give me liberty or give me death.

01:04:13.000 That was not a bumper sticker.

01:04:15.000 That was not a hashtag.

01:04:16.000 That's what it took to get this country up and running.

01:04:19.000 And if they ever found those guys that signed the Declaration of Independence, they ever found them? 0.99

01:04:24.000 They're gonna hang them from a tree, burn their houses, kill their families, and erase them from the memory of the earth. 0.98

01:04:30.000 But now we're worried about somebody throwing us off of Twitter, or somebody calling us a bad name, or in my case, the music industry not giving me everything that I want to get out of it. 0.99

01:04:40.000 At some point, make a call.

01:04:42.000 Decide what's actually important to you.

01:04:44.000 Is your freedom of speech more valuable to you than the approval of the music industry?

01:04:48.000 That's where I got to.

01:04:49.000 Good times.

01:04:50.000 Got two little boys growing up and they're watching me.

01:04:53.000 And what if I'm dealing with this, what are they going to be looking at in about 15 or

01:04:56.000 20 years?

01:04:57.000 So I'm the only example they have.

01:04:59.000 What did pop do when he ran into that when the government did this or tech did that or

01:05:03.000 businesses did this?

01:05:04.000 What did dad do?

01:05:05.000 Did he just yell at the TV and then go play ball?

01:05:08.000 Or did he actually say what he felt?

01:05:10.000 Was he the same guy all the time?

01:05:13.000 Did he take his hits?

01:05:14.000 Hell yeah, and he got scars, and lost money, and lost popularity with a lot of people, but what did he gain?

01:05:20.000 Self-respect, integrity, and he sleeps okay at night, not like Dad.

01:05:24.000 Good for you.

01:05:25.000 That's why I do it like that.

01:05:26.000 So here's my question, though.

01:05:28.000 Tremendous respect for all of that.

01:05:29.000 Do you fear, you know, they'll try to come after your kids, or you might put your kids at harm?

01:05:34.000 They better fear ever coming after my kids.

01:05:37.000 I love it.

01:05:38.000 It's a very good answer.

01:05:40.000 I'll let you come after me all you want to.

01:05:44.000 You leave my family alone. 0.99

01:05:46.000 We will die for our families. 0.99

01:05:49.000 We'll die.

01:05:50.000 If you said, John, you were them, snap your fingers and take me out of here. 0.91

01:05:54.000 I mean, right now, as my daddy would say, who's a quasi-Pentecostal-style prison preacher, that I would charge hell wearing my gasoline suit with my water pistol blazing.

01:06:05.000 If you ever jack with my family.

01:06:07.000 And that's what they don't understand in this country, these liberals and people running our country, that there is a fierce love and dedication and responsibility that we have as parents that you step over that line and you start messing with my kids.

01:06:22.000 There is no boundaries anymore between us.

01:06:24.000 You want full contact sport?

01:06:26.000 You want to raise the stakes on what you're doing to our kids and how you're, in my opinion, assaulting them in all these ways?

01:06:32.000 You're going to assault my kids?

01:06:33.000 Why don't you try to assault me one time? 0.99

01:06:35.000 I'm going to step in front of these little kids. 0.99

01:06:36.000 Now you're going to deal with a, with a grown ass man and a grown ass woman who got nothing to lose and don't care what you have to think about it. 0.98

01:06:43.000 This is where America's going. 0.91

01:06:45.000 Whatever look I have in my eye right now, cause I know, cause I know what I'm saying.

01:06:49.000 I'm feeling it down in my guts.

01:06:50.000 That is what tens of millions, if not more Americans are feeling right now, regardless of their politics, regardless of who they voted for or what they think about Trump or Biden.

01:06:59.000 You mess with our kids.

01:07:00.000 You've got a world of hurt coming your way this fall.

01:07:03.000 They're messing with kids.

01:07:04.000 Good for you, man.

01:07:05.000 You've got, you know, these teachers now bragging on social media about how they want to talk about their sex lives with children.

01:07:11.000 And it's the weirdest thing to me that they're trying to normalize the idea that 5, 6, 7, and 8-year-olds are talking to their teachers about their teachers' marriages or relationships.

01:07:24.000 That never happened for me when I was in those grades, because Florida is where the big conversation started, the Parental Rights and Education Bill.

01:07:31.000 When I was five, I remember the names of all my teachers.

01:07:34.000 Actually, I don't remember the name of my second grade teacher.

01:07:36.000 I'm sure someone in my family does.

01:07:37.000 But I remember these teachers.

01:07:39.000 I had no idea who they were married to.

01:07:40.000 I had no idea what they were doing.

01:07:41.000 I was five.

01:07:42.000 I was eight.

01:07:43.000 I was nine.

01:07:45.000 When I was 12 or 13, I learned about my teacher got married.

01:07:49.000 That's all I learned.

01:07:50.000 She was out one day, a substitute came in. 0.88

01:07:52.000 Oh, she got married.

01:07:52.000 Why?

01:07:53.000 Oh.

01:07:53.000 Mm-hmm.

01:07:54.000 They didn't come into the classroom and say, I want to tell you all about my relationship with my husband in our honeymoon.

01:07:58.000 Never happened.

01:07:59.000 Yet now this is what they're saying.

01:08:00.000 Oh, but it's totally normal.

01:08:00.000 Like, I need to explain to these kids, like, what it means.

01:08:04.000 Well, you don't.

01:08:04.000 I mean, first of all, the parents can.

01:08:06.000 And this can be handled during normal sex ed if the parents think that's what the school should be doing.

01:08:11.000 But they're actually arguing for the right to have conversations with your kids about sexual issues in secret, telling those kids, don't tell your parents.

01:08:21.000 So this is happening.

01:08:22.000 Are you homeschooling?

01:08:24.000 No.

01:08:24.000 Do you want to?

01:08:25.000 No, because I found a school that won't put up with it.

01:08:29.000 And so that's where my kids go.

01:08:30.000 But let's just take that conversation out of the classroom, shall we?

01:08:34.000 Let's go to a public park and your kids are playing over by the monkey bars and a couple of adults walk up and start showing them those books with those pictures and having that conversation with them.

01:08:43.000 What would happen to those adults in that public park?

01:08:46.000 They would be arrested by the county.

01:08:47.000 They would be arrested and hauled off to jail.

01:08:49.000 So, if you look under the American Bar Association, when it goes into the word grooming, which is the big word right now, which is accurate in my opinion, it says, and 7th Circuit Court of Appeals actually has this perfect, please go look it up.

01:09:03.000 That it is not a defense to say that you are putting explicit pornographic or obscene material in front of a child under the guise of education.

01:09:17.000 It has already been stated.

01:09:19.000 It has already been solidified.

01:09:20.000 You do not get to hide behind the veil of education and that shields you from something that outside the school would be considered a felony.

01:09:29.000 This doesn't work that way.

01:09:31.000 So this game they're playing, the only way you short-circuit that is at some point, parents are gonna have enough of it and they're gonna go, you know what, did you show this to my kid?

01:09:39.000 Alright, turn around, put your hands behind your back.

01:09:40.000 Let's take it to the workplace. 0.73

01:09:42.000 I think it was Robbie Starbuck who tweeted this.

01:09:45.000 If you, if you talked to another co-worker about what these teachers are talking about, you would be sued for sexual harassment.

01:09:52.000 That's absolutely right.

01:09:53.000 Hands down.

01:09:54.000 Right.

01:09:54.000 I mean, because these books, some of them have shown relatively graphic images.

01:10:00.000 I wouldn't, like descriptive, instructional.

01:10:04.000 Pictorials.

01:10:05.000 If you went to the workplace and, take a look at this book!

01:10:08.000 They'd be like, okay, I'm going to the boss.

01:10:10.000 The boss is going to be like, I'm letting you go.

01:10:12.000 Why are you showing these images?

01:10:14.000 But in a school to children, they're arguing it's okay.

01:10:17.000 Under the guise of education, what I'm telling you is that's already been established.

01:10:22.000 There's people have already tried to use that defense in the highest courts in our land, and they were not upheld.

01:10:27.000 Well, people need to go after these teachers and file suits, file charges, whatever they have to do. 0.98

01:10:31.000 Absolutely.

01:10:32.000 On top of that, another thing that people are failing to acknowledge here is that one of the core elements of grooming is trying to separate the child from their parents.

01:10:39.000 So by definition, having secret conversations with children, especially secret conversations about sexuality, is grooming.

01:10:46.000 And I think everything you just said a moment ago was put very beautifully and so many people in this country feel that way and I think the left is going to start to realize that they've really woken a sleeping giant because they're completely incapable of understanding other perspectives.

01:11:01.000 All they know and understand is obedience to the party line and loyalty to their sick set of principles and what their ideological allies tell them to believe.

01:11:13.000 I think many of them don't have close familial relationships which is part of why statistically they actually are more likely to experience mental health issues and so they can't comprehend the bonds that exist between good and healthy families.

01:11:27.000 They have no idea what's coming their way if they continue to push on this.

01:11:30.000 Well, I think if you go back in time, we were talking about several hundred years ago where the dad's armed, maybe he's got a single shot, you know, flintlock or something like that or a sword or a knife or something because you never know, you gotta defend yourself, your friends, your family.

01:11:44.000 People without families were much less likely to survive.

01:11:47.000 That's just, humans are social beings.

01:11:50.000 Our families and our tribes are how we survived, and that's why we have such a strong social desire to be a part of the culture and the tribe, because if you weren't, you didn't survive.

01:12:00.000 We now have an expanding society of family-less individuals.

01:12:06.000 They have some friends, they hang out, they're in their 30s, they're not in relationships, they're single, they live in apartments.

01:12:14.000 I gotta say, I don't think these people would survive the actual wilderness.

01:12:17.000 They're a product of the good times we've created and the security and the safety that allows this individual, ultra-individualist, you know, I guess, lifestyle.

01:12:26.000 Probably also a bunch of drug addicts on Adderall, Prozac, who knows, legalized pharmaceuticals so they're like distorted and aren't able to understand love with their mother.

01:12:33.000 You know, it comes from like, well, I didn't get along with her to begin with.

01:12:36.000 I'm like, come on, guys.

01:12:36.000 I'm just assuming a type of person, but there's a lot of legalized drugs out there that people are on.

01:12:42.000 Well I mean also statistically we know that children that come from two-parent homes fare better than children who don't.

01:12:48.000 They have absolutely destroyed and gutted the family.

01:12:51.000 It's been a very long-standing project on the left because they can't have competing power structures and they know that good Tightly knit families that genuinely love and care for each other and have a strong sense of loyalty, and parents who will legitimately protect their children, solve the problems that the state claims it needs to be in a position to solve, though it never solves them well.

01:13:11.000 It usually ends up creating more problems than it's addressing.

01:13:14.000 But, the point is, they're not gonna stop, right?

01:13:17.000 Like, they see your connection to your family as a threat.

01:13:20.000 Like, it is a threat to their way of life, and what they view is what's necessary for their survival.

01:13:25.000 Like, we have to stop them is the point.

01:13:25.000 They're not gonna stop.

01:13:27.000 They're not gonna stop themselves.

01:13:28.000 Let me give you guys a white pill.

01:13:31.000 I don't know.

01:13:31.000 That's the optimism, right?

01:13:34.000 For sure.

01:13:34.000 The one that means things are not so bad.

01:13:36.000 Black Pill is the one that means things are bad. 0.91

01:13:37.000 Gandalf the White. 0.74

01:13:38.000 Alright, let me tell you guys about what I think is coming.

01:13:40.000 I think the future is going to be more conservative than this country's been in maybe like 70 or 80 years for one simple reason.

01:13:49.000 It has nothing to do with people waking up to politics.

01:13:53.000 It has nothing to do with young people being based.

01:13:56.000 It has everything to do with the fact that the left does not have children.

01:14:01.000 And if they do get pregnant, they are substantially more likely to abort their children. 1.00

01:14:06.000 Kill their baby, yeah. 1.00

01:14:07.000 So... 0.99

01:14:09.000 Back in the early 2000s, conservatives were having about two kids for every two parents, so it was stable.

01:14:17.000 Liberals were having 1.7 kids, so typically a family would have one kid, maybe two.

01:14:23.000 Now, we see in the polls that Gen Z is a tad bit more conservative than Millennials, but Millennials and Gen Z are still relatively progressive compared to Gen Xs and Boomers.

01:14:34.000 What happens in 20 years from today?

01:14:36.000 The birth rates collapsed, But conservatives still have a lot of kids.

01:14:40.000 Maybe less on average than they did before, but way more than liberals.

01:14:44.000 If liberals, if the left, can't indoctrinate children in schools, they cease to exist within maybe 40 years.

01:14:51.000 Exactly.

01:14:51.000 It's necessary for their survival.

01:14:53.000 You know what happened when the Roman... And immigration. 0.92

01:14:55.000 When the Roman Empire failed and all the slaves were basically... When the Roman slave system ended, a bunch of those people went out to the farms and started working for the farmers and became their workers.

01:15:05.000 Uh, it's more nuanced than that and I would highly recommend, um, looking into this because if this happens, if this really, if the economy fails and all these people come out of the cities, these liberal weirdos that don't have families or whatever, they're going to be looking for work and they're going to be basically put down, put on the farm to get to work and they're going to be overseen and then they're going to be, you pay them whatever you want at that point.

01:15:23.000 Do you think they're useful enough to use on a farm?

01:15:25.000 Well, no, no, no, no.

01:15:26.000 I, I got to disagree, bro.

01:15:27.000 Like there's a lot of people in cities who could come and do basic farm work, but I tell this story all the time.

01:15:34.000 Let me ask you, John.

01:15:35.000 You remember Occupy Wall Street, I imagine?

01:15:37.000 Sure.

01:15:37.000 During Occupy Wall Street, a bunch of land was granted, farmland was granted to Occupy Wall Street.

01:15:43.000 And so a bunch of these young people were like, I want to get off the grid.

01:15:47.000 I want to be responsible for myself, sustainable, and not be a part of the, you know, carbon dioxide, corporate fossil fuel economy.

01:15:56.000 So they went to this farm to be totally off the grid sustainable.

01:15:59.000 How long do you think my friend made it?

01:16:03.000 Uh, I would say halfway through his first callus.

01:16:07.000 Wherever that came from.

01:16:08.000 Halfway through, my fingers hurt!

01:16:10.000 Halfway through his first blister.

01:16:11.000 Two weeks.

01:16:12.000 That's about, that's about, that's your first blister.

01:16:15.000 So I asked my friend, uh, two weeks later, you're back. 0.98

01:16:17.000 And they said, it sucked.

01:16:19.000 I woke up at 6am and I worked until 11pm.

01:16:23.000 I never had time to do anything.

01:16:24.000 It was just work, work, work.

01:16:25.000 If you want to eat, you got to work.

01:16:26.000 Then you had breakfast.

01:16:27.000 Then you worked again, then you had lunch.

01:16:28.000 Then you worked again, you had dinner.

01:16:29.000 And I was like, that's what survival sounds like, right?

01:16:31.000 Yeah.

01:16:32.000 Yeah.

01:16:32.000 I, you know, these people, Yeah, but when the owner of the house has rifles and you're in a fenced-in area and there's nowhere to get out and you chose to be there because you need food.

01:16:40.000 Like, I'm saying we might be on track to see another serfdom rise in this country. 1.00

01:16:43.000 Look, you're not going to be able to take entitled, gaunt millennials. 1.00

01:16:49.000 I'm not saying everybody's gonna make it either.

01:16:51.000 That's a good point then.

01:16:52.000 Because there's a lot of people in the States, of course they're capable.

01:16:56.000 I don't think they're as skilled or as learned as people in the countryside when it comes to basic country things.

01:17:02.000 Like the things I've learned just moving out of the cities over the past several years.

01:17:06.000 It's like, oh wow, I didn't know that.

01:17:08.000 We got chives growing in the backyard everywhere.

01:17:11.000 You just walk up, you pick them, you rinse them off, you eat them.

01:17:13.000 I'm like, I don't even know what you can or can't eat.

01:17:15.000 But the people out here are like, oh, here's what you can eat, here's what you can't eat.

01:17:18.000 They can just tell me right away.

01:17:19.000 So if one day the roads just, the roads were gone, and it was like, you're only gonna get food which you can find, they'd make it, I'd be in serious trouble.

01:17:28.000 So people in cities, there's a lot of smart people in cities, but they're not gonna know the first thing about how you grow crops.

01:17:34.000 You know what we did last year?

01:17:35.000 Remember those tomatoes we planted?

01:17:37.000 Yeah.

01:17:37.000 We planted all the tomatoes at once.

01:17:39.000 And then what happened?

01:17:40.000 I'm sad.

01:17:40.000 You get a lot of tomatoes and then you run out of tomatoes.

01:17:43.000 And we have like 80 tomatoes we couldn't eat.

01:17:44.000 And they get rotten.

01:17:45.000 Exactly.

01:17:45.000 Do you know how to can?

01:17:47.000 No.

01:17:47.000 Oh, you gotta learn how to can, man.

01:17:49.000 We do preserve.

01:17:50.000 Can, man.

01:17:50.000 No, you gotta learn how to can.

01:17:52.000 This is gonna be our party while we're out here.

01:17:54.000 You're just gonna teach us this stuff.

01:17:55.000 Canning party.

01:17:56.000 I'm gonna take you guys out to the hospital.

01:17:57.000 Canning party at Johnson.

01:17:58.000 But we make preserves.

01:18:00.000 That was fun.

01:18:00.000 That's good.

01:18:00.000 I got a mulberry tree.

01:18:01.000 Well, it's similar.

01:18:01.000 It's very similar to that.

01:18:03.000 You just put tomatoes in it next time.

01:18:04.000 There you go.

01:18:04.000 Or potatoes or whatever.

01:18:05.000 But I wanted to see your white pill and advance you one pill. 0.93

01:18:09.000 Because there's something I have, I think I've had a realization about, about what the future looks like when it comes to the conservative population.

01:18:19.000 All these kids who were forced to wear masks eight hours a day.

01:18:25.000 Day after day after day after day and hated every second of it.

01:18:28.000 And they saw their mother lose her job because she wouldn't take the vaccination.

01:18:32.000 And they saw their daddy lose his job because he wouldn't do XYZ that the government man was telling them to do.

01:18:38.000 And watch their lives get destroyed.

01:18:41.000 And watch their own person be violated.

01:18:45.000 Over and over and over, day after day, year after year now, I believe that they grow up and when they become of voting age, they remember What that was, and they go, they're not doing that to my kids.

01:18:56.000 I'm not voting for anybody that I ever think would have a shred of a chance of ever pressing down on us that hard again.

01:19:04.000 I will never vote for them.

01:19:05.000 It doesn't matter how liberal they might be or whatever.

01:19:07.000 They go, yeah, I'm not voting for that.

01:19:09.000 Cause this has been a horrific experience.

01:19:11.000 I mean, when I got two little boys, you see them little boys putting masks on their faces, see it going in and out and in and out.

01:19:18.000 You go to a basketball game and they're making kids wear masks, running up and down a basketball court.

01:19:23.000 Child abuse is what that is.

01:19:25.000 And that jacks with their brains. 0.99

01:19:27.000 I told my boys, you're not wearing a mask to school anymore.

01:19:30.000 All that the school said we had to, I said, I'm going to send the school a letter.

01:19:34.000 So you look up online and you go, is a mask considered a, uh, is it considered an experimental medical device?

01:19:41.000 Yes, it is.

01:19:42.000 Per the FDA, a mask is considered an experimental medical device when it comes to stopping the contraction of a virus.

01:19:50.000 It is on their website.

01:19:51.000 Go look it up.

01:19:53.000 Okay.

01:19:53.000 Let's extrapolate on that.

01:19:54.000 Then do you have the permission?

01:19:56.000 Do you have the authority to coerce me into using an experimental medical device?

01:20:02.000 No, you don't.

01:20:03.000 Not if I don't give you permission to.

01:20:05.000 Well, then I don't give you permission to.

01:20:07.000 Well, you have to do it anyway, or we're going to punish you.

01:20:09.000 Oh, you know what that's in violation of?

01:20:12.000 Nuremberg Code? 0.75

01:20:12.000 I think it is. 0.75

01:20:13.000 Go read the exact language on that.

01:20:15.000 You are not allowed to force people to do something against their will, anything medically.

01:20:21.000 And if they don't do it, punish them for it.

01:20:23.000 And so I sent a little letter.

01:20:25.000 And spelled all that out and put the links on there and highlighted what it said right off the government websites and guess what I got five minutes later?

01:20:32.000 An opt-out form.

01:20:35.000 Oh, interesting.

01:20:36.000 An opt-out form.

01:20:37.000 They didn't want to have that fight.

01:20:38.000 Well, here's the issue I see.

01:20:42.000 I think there's a rudimentary view on masks.

01:20:46.000 I think masks work.

01:20:47.000 It's simple.

01:20:49.000 If you're gonna cough or spit on somebody, the mask will stop you from doing it.

01:20:52.000 But then there's questions about forcing everybody, even people who aren't sick, to be wearing one.

01:20:56.000 You know, we used to see all the time, people in Asian countries, if you get a cold, they put a mask on just so that they don't cough or spit on somebody.

01:21:02.000 That's simple.

01:21:03.000 I mean, that's basic logic.

01:21:05.000 But then they come in and they say, five-year-olds who may or may not be sick, we don't care, just they have to do it.

01:21:09.000 And then there's serious questions about, okay, well, what are you doing to the development of their mind if they can't see mouths move, if they can't see human expression while they're communicating at one of the most formative years of their lives?

01:21:21.000 When these kids aren't even sick.

01:21:23.000 Or, not only that, but they're substantially less likely to get sick.

01:21:26.000 I can certainly understand if a parent wants to make a choice for their kids.

01:21:31.000 That should be on the parents, not the government.

01:21:33.000 And this is why I just say the simple solution really is getting your kids out of these schools, getting them in pods.

01:21:37.000 But it sounds like you found a solution, which was an opt-out form that they... Well, so I think it goes back to the point that these people are generally bullies.

01:21:46.000 Whether it's talking about masking your kid up or it's talking about grooming them in a school room or whatever, they are not willing to go the full distance of what that fight actually looks like if we've got the backbone to take it there.

01:21:58.000 They don't want to go that far.

01:21:59.000 They don't want to go in a courtroom and have a, let's go back to the school that's being taught in the schools, hold up the book in front of a jury Read the state and federal statutes as to what it says about exposing kids to obscene material.

01:22:12.000 Then show the jury the pictures, read the jury the book, and ask the jury, are they guilty of violating these statutes?

01:22:17.000 They're going to go, of course.

01:22:19.000 Okay, judge, what's the penalty for violating the statute?

01:22:22.000 You're in big trouble.

01:22:23.000 Why isn't it happening though?

01:22:25.000 Because people are too afraid to stand up again.

01:22:27.000 And that is the problem with getting too blackmailed about this stuff.

01:22:29.000 Your average person goes around thinking, I know that what they're forcing on me is nonsense, but I can't make a difference.

01:22:35.000 But like you said, and like you were able to show in the situation with your kids in the school, if you stand up to these people, it's not always going to work out for you 100% of the time, but you're never going to know unless you try.

01:22:44.000 And the problem is nobody's trying.

01:22:45.000 Yeah, it sounds like the evidence that you accrued that you sent to them would be valuable to put public so that other people could grab the evidence and send it to their- Dude, I have a high school diploma.

01:22:53.000 Okay.

01:22:54.000 I'm a self-taught, I read myself.

01:22:57.000 I can think on my own.

01:22:59.000 And I look at this and I go, that's got to be illegal to do that.

01:23:02.000 Surely that's illegal.

01:23:03.000 Well, let's just look.

01:23:05.000 And here you go.

01:23:06.000 And you can find volumes of information as to, yes, your gut instinct was correct.

01:23:10.000 Your common sense proves to be true again.

01:23:12.000 Here's all the ways that that's illegal.

01:23:14.000 And here's all the case law to back it up.

01:23:15.000 And here's what happens when somebody breaks that.

01:23:17.000 And you present that to the other side.

01:23:19.000 They do not want to have that fight out in the open.

01:23:22.000 I really appreciate what you just said a moment ago.

01:23:24.000 Like, I have a high school diploma.

01:23:25.000 There are so many people who are so over-educated, and then they can't even think to do the simplest possible thing when it comes to protecting their own children.

01:23:32.000 Yeah, it's an indoctrination camp.

01:23:33.000 That's a big part of why.

01:23:34.000 Public schooling and then the college industry, they want you to sit down, wait till you're called on.

01:23:38.000 I mean, Tim dropped out, you got out of high school, basically, and then what was your, you went to college, you went to an art college.

01:23:43.000 I did, yeah, I know.

01:23:44.000 Can you believe it?

01:23:44.000 Liv, what were you, did you do college, Lydia?

01:23:47.000 You were like homeschooled too for a long time, right?

01:23:48.000 Yeah, so I actually started to take classes that were the equivalent of prereqs for nursing, because I really liked biology and that kind of thing.

01:23:55.000 So there was no indoctrination there.

01:23:57.000 They're just like, here's what's up.

01:23:58.000 This is what's really happening.

01:23:59.000 I was wildly indoctrinated.

01:24:01.000 I had to break that mold every day.

01:24:02.000 I'm just ready to say yes and follow the leader, but it's not what I want.

01:24:06.000 So I have to fight against it.

01:24:08.000 It's funny because I went to Catholic school from kindergarten until the end of fifth grade, and I wouldn't even call any of that indoctrinating.

01:24:14.000 Like, they didn't even do a good job teaching me about Christianity.

01:24:17.000 Of course not, it was Catholic school.

01:24:19.000 They teach you how to learn, which is sit, raise your hand, don't speak unless you're called on, which first of all is like, are you kidding?

01:24:25.000 That stomps on creativity.

01:24:27.000 You need to let kids express themselves and be their best self.

01:24:31.000 And there's other ways, you know, wait and you can only go out, you can't leave the classroom unless you're allowed to go for IVF.

01:24:36.000 Maybe that's the part of the drift, right?

01:24:38.000 So even in a Catholic school, we see them now, many of these churches putting up BLM flags.

01:24:43.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:24:45.000 So when I'm a kid, we had religion class, take out your religion book at 9am or whatever, and they wouldn't really actually teach us about the complex ideas around spirituality, faith, and the universe.

01:24:57.000 It was kind of just like, read the paragraph, I'll be reading my book.

01:25:02.000 I'll be collecting my salary at the end of the week.

01:25:02.000 We learn nothing.

01:25:04.000 Imagine if Catholic schools were as interested in teaching the students about Catholicism as public schools are at teaching kids to become transgender. 0.93

01:25:10.000 Right.

01:25:11.000 I say this to people as a Catholic.

01:25:12.000 If someone has a deep love for Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin and my faith, you can't assume that a Catholic school is going to be good for your kid. 0.94

01:25:19.000 In most instances, it won't be.

01:25:21.000 I'm a big advocate of homeschooling, probably because I've never done it.

01:25:24.000 being facetious i'm sure it's it's easy for someone who doesn't have kids but also i know i'm a huge advocate of homeschooling i think these institutions are are terrible there are some really good institutions you can still find but for the most part you can't say oh well it's like it's a catholic school therefore they're going to teach my kids good things So I grew up in Chicago with a fairly liberal family, but my mom still wanted to homeschool me and my siblings.

01:25:48.000 And then once, I went to Catholic school, kindergarten to fifth grade, then public school sixth to eighth.

01:25:54.000 Spent a couple months, freshman year of high school, and my parents pulled me out saying it was bad.

01:25:59.000 Went back to homeschooling.

01:26:00.000 We did a correspondence thing where my dad would come in every day, and this is when my parents were getting divorced, but my dad would come in.

01:26:06.000 What did you read about?

01:26:07.000 What did you learn?

01:26:08.000 Ask me questions.

01:26:08.000 Let's talk about it.

01:26:10.000 Me and my brother sped through the entirety of high school because we could go as fast as we wanted.

01:26:15.000 And I look at the school system as just corrupt for a lot of reasons, outside of what they're doing now with the creepy conversations with these children.

01:26:22.000 And they're like, we have to talk about our relationships and our significant others.

01:26:26.000 And I'm like, to five-year-olds?

01:26:27.000 That sounds really weird, you know?

01:26:28.000 But it's also just really bad.

01:26:30.000 They don't do a good job of actually teaching kids.

01:26:33.000 I believe that every human has potential.

01:26:39.000 That if you take a kid from anywhere, and you give them access to knowledge, and you teach them, and you show them, here's how you hammer a nail, here's how you, you know, build a bicycle, they're gonna learn that.

01:26:48.000 I still remember the cheat code from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 on Nintendo.

01:26:51.000 B-A-B-A, up, down, B-A, left, right, B-A, start.

01:26:53.000 Why do I remember that?

01:26:54.000 Because that game was awesome.

01:26:55.000 I'm 36.

01:26:56.000 I played that game for like, a few months of my life, and I'll never forget the code for level select in that game.

01:27:02.000 It's crazy.

01:27:03.000 I got 007-373-5963 is the password to get to Mike Tyson, and Mike Tyson's a punch-out.

01:27:07.000 You see?

01:27:08.000 Now, what if, as kids, instead of learning that stuff, we were taught something... Like language, for instance.

01:27:14.000 Multiple languages, how about?

01:27:15.000 What happens when you go to a school and you got a kid who's ready to learn and absorb information, and they just waste their time?

01:27:21.000 They talk about nonsense and politics.

01:27:23.000 These kids are gonna grow up without critical thinking skills.

01:27:25.000 And not just waste their time, but groom them.

01:27:27.000 And then on top of that, let's say we had public schools which functioned effectively and were really teaching kids the things they needed to be taught.

01:27:34.000 The idea that you're going to sit a kid in a desk for six hours a day and end up having any kind of productive outcome from that is insane.

01:27:40.000 Yeah, they make the smart kids wait. 0.64

01:27:41.000 I used to stare at the clock and just wait to be done because I was like, what are you doing?

01:27:45.000 I want to talk about grooming a little bit because it doesn't have to be, firstly, I don't think it has to be sexual.

01:27:49.000 You can groom someone to be a psychopath to do other bad things.

01:27:52.000 And it doesn't have to be non-parents.

01:27:53.000 I think parents can groom their kids to do evil things if they're bad people.

01:27:56.000 Yeah, here's the fascinating thing is there's this big like the big push now from the left is they're saying uh parents are are grooming kids into heterosexuality by talking about like marriage and things like that and i was like okay let me let me just make this clear uh the parental rights and education bill prevents a teacher from talking to a five-year-old about traditional marriage i mean the bill does that and then you can't encourage the kid to keep it a secret So no, that's a ridiculous argument. 0.83

01:28:27.000 The reality is, people are just like, hey, I don't want you talking to my kids about adult content, adult issues.

01:28:27.000 It's not happening.

01:28:33.000 It's not for you to decide.

01:28:34.000 Also, one thing that we just have to be able to acknowledge is, if you think that's even remotely true, your brain just doesn't work properly.

01:28:40.000 Telling a child that they can someday grow up and get married and have a family is absolutely not equivalent to trying to encourage them to engage in sexually depraved behaviors when they're older, or render themselves infertile with experimental hormones.

01:28:50.000 But I'm not even going that far.

01:28:51.000 I'm taking their position on this, where it's like, a guy says, My kids might ask me, you know, my students might ask me about having a boyfriend.

01:28:58.000 And it's like, yeah, that's not banned.

01:29:00.000 You can literally be like, yes, it's a photo of my boyfriend.

01:29:02.000 Now, if you want to understand, but you're a boy too, well, maybe you should talk to your parents and they can help you understand these more adult concepts.

01:29:09.000 And the kid will say, okay.

01:29:11.000 And that's it.

01:29:11.000 Instead, they're like, let me tell you about all of it.

01:29:14.000 That's not... If the kid's confused or doesn't understand because they're not exposed to it, you just simply say, maybe it's something your parents should talk to you about.

01:29:21.000 I'm not here to teach you about that stuff, but, you know... It's the guys of education.

01:29:27.000 That's all this is.

01:29:28.000 They are hiding behind the guys and the excuse of, and the shield of, they think, education.

01:29:33.000 If you take the same exact situation, same exact scenario, same exact people, And you put them out in a public park, or you put them at a mall, or you put them over at somebody's house, or whatever, and the same exact thing went down, you would have the right to go after those people.

01:29:47.000 I feel like the politicians are wrecking the economy under the guise of politics.

01:29:52.000 Right.

01:29:52.000 Yeah.

01:29:52.000 They're just a bunch of people that have done a really horrible, horrible thing to us in the last couple years.

01:29:58.000 I think, I think Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Mitch McConnell, they're just, they're just, they should have retired a long time ago.

01:30:04.000 They're passively letting the Federal Reserve annihilate our economy.

01:30:07.000 It's not, no, no, I get that, but what I'm saying is... In addition to this other stuff.

01:30:10.000 I mean, look, at what age do you retire from baseball?

01:30:13.000 38?

01:30:13.000 40?

01:30:14.000 41?

01:30:14.000 If there's one thing we've learned, to the left, age is just a number.

01:30:18.000 Yeah, that's tricky.

01:30:20.000 Do you guys remember when I think it was Snapchat had a sticker that said, love has no age? 0.91

01:30:25.000 Disgusting.

01:30:26.000 Yeah, and then it got polled because people were like, what does that mean?

01:30:29.000 I do believe there's solar age, it's how many times your body's been around the sun, but then there's your genetic age, and some people age faster and slower depending on how much damage you're doing to your telomeres.

01:30:38.000 My point is just simply, In any other industry, all of these people would have retired.

01:30:44.000 Not every single one, but like Pelosi?

01:30:46.000 Dianne Feinstein?

01:30:48.000 Joe Biden?

01:30:49.000 Come on.

01:30:50.000 You know, it's about time.

01:30:51.000 They should have retired 20, 30 years ago.

01:30:52.000 Why do they have power?

01:30:53.000 I don't understand.

01:30:54.000 I mean, it's the system.

01:30:55.000 It's the system we built, that our ancestors built, that we can vote a popularity contest to put someone in forever.

01:31:00.000 It's the apathy of the people.

01:31:02.000 We are too comfortable.

01:31:04.000 Everything is too good.

01:31:05.000 So people just stopped paying attention.

01:31:07.000 The left stopped paying attention.

01:31:08.000 The Democrats stopped paying attention.

01:31:10.000 And then the woke nonsense came in and they just adopted it and said, fine, we'll use it. 0.76

01:31:13.000 The right stopped paying attention and they let the cultural institutions get taken over by woke left insanity. 0.63

01:31:19.000 And here we are.

01:31:20.000 That now that's a tidal wave that's coming though is on the local level.

01:31:23.000 I can tell you right here in Middle Tennessee, every single county in Middle Tennessee has parents and grandparents who are running for school board positions, county commissioners, you name it, all the way up and down the tickets.

01:31:36.000 And they, these guys are running for the hills.

01:31:38.000 They don't know what to do because the parents are so fired up that the schools won't listen to them.

01:31:43.000 And are just running roughshod over their rights as parents.

01:31:46.000 They're just going, well, I'm a stay-at-home mom, but I'm running for the school board.

01:31:50.000 My name's Sally.

01:31:51.000 Vote for me.

01:31:52.000 And they're like, I'll vote for you, Sally.

01:31:53.000 No problem.

01:31:54.000 I'm telling you, this is happening all over the U.S.

01:31:57.000 They're gonna turn these little local situations upside down.

01:32:01.000 And I don't think they'll ever get their power back.

01:32:03.000 Because we have been asleep.

01:32:05.000 We've been asleep a long time.

01:32:06.000 We just assume that We just assumed that, well, you know, they gotta be good people because they're on the school board.

01:32:11.000 They care about kids, right?

01:32:12.000 That seems like an easy thing to do.

01:32:14.000 Yeah, but that's not true.

01:32:15.000 They had another agenda as to why they wanted to be on the school board.

01:32:18.000 And now we're all learning that, and so regular old people are standing up and flipping it around.

01:32:22.000 I'd love to be on my kids' school board.

01:32:24.000 Absolutely.

01:32:24.000 When your kids like you, and they see you at school, it improves their mood, and then they become more popular and well-liked at school.

01:32:29.000 They're like, that's your dad?

01:32:30.000 That's awesome, man!

01:32:31.000 You know what works for...

01:32:34.000 TimCasts, for our company, I encourage people, and within reason, to bring their kids into work when they can.

01:32:40.000 I want their kids to see what work looks like.

01:32:43.000 I want them to interact with adults.

01:32:45.000 I think you should treat kids like adults, within reason, obviously.

01:32:49.000 You can cuss at an adult, you can get in an argument with them, you can show them certain things you wouldn't show a kid, but you talk to them on matters age-relevant, as if they were adults.

01:33:00.000 So if they say hey, what is this if Ian said, you know, how do I how do I fix the mic?

01:33:04.000 I'll be like, okay take the XLR plug it that's the cable right there.

01:33:06.000 I would I wouldn't say to the kid Okay, this is a microphone a microphone.

01:33:10.000 No.

01:33:11.000 No, you just talk to him like normal so they can learn I like it when the kids can come in first of all, it's fun We've got ski ball, we've got a skate park, and I want them to be like, this is exciting.

01:33:21.000 I want kids to look up to success and say, if I work hard and I believe in myself, I can accomplish cool stuff too.

01:33:28.000 I can be respected.

01:33:30.000 I can have fun.

01:33:31.000 And I want them to see real working adults interact with each other.

01:33:34.000 Here's trade.

01:33:34.000 Here's money being exchanged.

01:33:35.000 Here's, I need this job done.

01:33:37.000 Here's how you help chickens. 0.99

01:33:38.000 Here's how you clean the floors.

01:33:40.000 So that's what I really like.

01:33:41.000 I think that's infinitely more valuable than what schools do.

01:33:45.000 My family owned a business when I was a kid, and that's what I saw.

01:33:48.000 I saw adults talking about politics.

01:33:50.000 They talked to me, they didn't care that I was a kid, and they'd be like, I just, I got to learn from real people.

01:33:55.000 Real, you know.

01:33:56.000 I can tell you some of the stuff I tell my boys, uh, is, you want to play baseball?

01:34:01.000 I want to play baseball.

01:34:02.000 I want to be in the MLB.

01:34:04.000 Ten years old.

01:34:05.000 I go, alright.

01:34:07.000 He goes, and there's this bat, it's called a Marucci bat, and that's like the best bat you could possibly get.

01:34:12.000 He's not on the team yet.

01:34:13.000 I said, I'll tell you what.

01:34:15.000 I'll get you that Marucci bat.

01:34:18.000 You go pick out the best glove that you want and that's it.

01:34:21.000 I can't get you on the team and I cannot hit a home run for you and I cannot catch a flat ball for you.

01:34:26.000 You got to go out in the backyard and take a hundred swings a day on that thing off that tee.

01:34:30.000 You got to get on the team.

01:34:31.000 I can't.

01:34:32.000 If you don't make the team, that'll be terrible.

01:34:34.000 You know, I'd hate it for you, but that's how this goes.

01:34:37.000 So, here's the best bat.

01:34:38.000 Here's the best glove.

01:34:40.000 Go make the team.

01:34:40.000 Yeah, my dad did that too.

01:34:41.000 He got me the Martin Dreadnought.

01:34:43.000 He gave it to me when I was wanting to learn how to play.

01:34:44.000 He was like, if you're going to learn a trade, get the best tool you can for it and learn it with that.

01:34:49.000 Yep, but it's on you to go do it.

01:34:51.000 And there's no lining.

01:34:52.000 You're not gonna walk up to the coach and be like, I'm the best player you've ever seen, and he'll be like, you're on the team then.

01:34:57.000 No, he's gonna be like, prove it.

01:34:59.000 Yeah.

01:34:59.000 And you can only prove it by doing it.

01:35:01.000 Yeah, when the kid strikes out at the game, you go, well, how many swings did you take on the tee this week in the backyard?

01:35:08.000 None.

01:35:08.000 He was on your iPad the whole time, right?

01:35:11.000 Yes.

01:35:11.000 Well, it sucks tracking out in front of all your friends, doesn't it?

01:35:14.000 Yeah.

01:35:15.000 I go, well, if you don't want to feel like that again, maybe I'll go out there and swing it.

01:35:17.000 But that's on you.

01:35:18.000 I don't care if you're an MLB or not.

01:35:20.000 I just want you to be good at whatever you do.

01:35:21.000 If you want to be good at baseball, go swing baseball bats.

01:35:25.000 And so he goes, okay.

01:35:26.000 And so, you're right about kids.

01:35:28.000 People underestimate kids like they don't understand it.

01:35:30.000 They understand better than most adults because their mind's not cluttered up with all this nonsense that we all have.

01:35:35.000 It's very clear to them what you're saying.

01:35:37.000 You should treat them with respect when you talk to them.

01:35:39.000 All right, let's go to Super Chats.

01:35:41.000 If you have not already, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show, click the share button if you really do like it, and head over to TimCast.com.

01:35:48.000 We're going to have that members-only show coming up around 11 or so p.m.

01:35:52.000 Eastern Time, so you don't want to miss that.

01:35:53.000 And I'm saying Eastern Time because we're in Central Time right now, so just so everybody knows, but a lot of people are often like, what time zone are you in?

01:35:59.000 We're currently in Central, but it'll be up 11 p.m.

01:36:01.000 Eastern.

01:36:02.000 Let's read some of these super chats.

01:36:04.000 We got Paul Thongham says, you guys should have people from China Uncensored on again to talk about Shanghai and their zero COVID policy.

01:36:12.000 That would be amazing.

01:36:13.000 We'll definitely look into that.

01:36:15.000 Shock the Kazba says, hey John, I've played your club in Nashville, even saw your bus. 0.97

01:36:20.000 I've given the cabinets a thumbs up.

01:36:22.000 I give the cabinets a thumbs up.

01:36:24.000 Thank you, brother.

01:36:25.000 What's the club?

01:36:26.000 Redneck Riviera, downtown at 3rd and Broadway.

01:36:28.000 I gotta go.

01:36:29.000 It's got an American flag and a Gadsden flag flying right over the top.

01:36:34.000 If you're a vet or active duty or first responder, first drinks on the house, we've given away probably 10,000 cocktails so far.

01:36:41.000 Wow.

01:36:41.000 Come see my bar when you're in town.

01:36:43.000 So cool.

01:36:44.000 That's cool.

01:36:45.000 All right, Murph Try says, I let my kids watch Chicken City on Saturday.

01:36:49.000 Today, my two-year-old would crow like a rooster.

01:36:52.000 Then from the other side of my house, my five-year-old would yell, chicken party!

01:36:55.000 Peter, the great work you guys.

01:36:56.000 Here comes the next hit piece.

01:36:58.000 Like, is Tim Pool, is Sir Timothy Cass turning children into chicken wannabes with his programming?

01:37:04.000 I've got some... Is it a bad influence?

01:37:06.000 Some far-left activist is, like, posting screenshots from our vlog channel, which is, like, skateboarding, rollerblading, um... And hand-faking cookies.

01:37:14.000 Interrogation techniques, you know, the usual.

01:37:16.000 It's like making cake, making, getting a cake for Ian's birthday, and they're like, look at the fart, right?

01:37:21.000 Love what look at this the people supporting them and it's like a guy playing guitar and singing it's like someone singing kumbaya and i'm like yo you've lost it exactly well and i'm gonna say something that if they were ever gonna act on would be like you know bad for us but they're too stupid to uh it's actually really good for us that they're doing that because the whole point of the vlog is we're just trying to show people you can Have fun, build culture, etc.

01:37:43.000 while still being conservative, or at the very least not on the left.

01:37:46.000 And so for them to try to make it sound like it's scary that we're doing everyday normal things is just going to make us seem more appealing and likable to an audience.

01:37:53.000 It feels like people are throwing pebbles at a rocket ship as it's taking off.

01:37:56.000 And it's like, you know, throws me off. 0.99

01:37:59.000 But also, you look like a lunatic when you do that. 0.97

01:38:01.000 Yeah, and history will show that, so stay strong and keep going. 0.97

01:38:05.000 I can only imagine the advertisers are getting these emails from people like, look at what you're supporting!

01:38:10.000 And it's like someone playing a guitar for chickens, and they're like, I really don't understand how this is bothering anybody.

01:38:15.000 High-fiving, tipping really well when we go out there.

01:38:17.000 Did they just show them Tim's ad-friendly chicken show?

01:38:20.000 Yeah.

01:38:20.000 Like, look at this!

01:38:21.000 Chickens! 0.61

01:38:22.000 All right.

01:38:24.000 And it's chickencitylive.com now.

01:38:26.000 That's right.

01:38:26.000 Oh, great.

01:38:29.000 So it's only, we've only been hitting good super chats for the past week, but at the current rate, it will be one of the highest grossing super chat shows in the world.

01:38:38.000 Because of how just ridiculous people are just throwing money at the chickens, they love it.

01:38:42.000 You get the chicken party. 0.97

01:38:42.000 This is a sinister fart, you're right. 0.97

01:38:44.000 The interactive super chat thing is incredible.

01:38:47.000 You give five bucks, treats come down, the chickens all run to get it.

01:38:49.000 What is it?

01:38:50.000 It builds up to a hundred dollars and then the sky egg releases the goods?

01:38:55.000 We increase the duration of the parties.

01:38:56.000 They're over a minute now.

01:38:57.000 I'm so glad.

01:38:58.000 And so the chickens go nuts.

01:38:59.000 Yeah, they come running when they hear the music.

01:39:01.000 I have a chicken song.

01:39:02.000 Are you serious?

01:39:03.000 It's called I Play Chicken with the Train.

01:39:05.000 Cowboy Troy.

01:39:05.000 Go look up Cowboy Troy I Play Chicken with the Train.

01:39:10.000 You want a real slammin' country rock and rap song for your chickens.

01:39:14.000 I'm just saying it would be an honor to have our song appear in the Super Chat.

01:39:19.000 The next plan was we were going to create a shuffle mix. 0.55

01:39:21.000 So every chicken party is a different song.

01:39:23.000 And I was like, we need to rap one.

01:39:25.000 We could do country rap.

01:39:26.000 We could rock.

01:39:27.000 We got dance.

01:39:27.000 You got to use that screaming chicken party intro to all of them.

01:39:30.000 If these chickens end up having too many parties, they're just going to become depraved. 1.00

01:39:34.000 Are they going to get fat?

01:39:35.000 They're not going to be able to survive.

01:39:36.000 Yeah.

01:39:37.000 Good times create weak chickens.

01:39:40.000 So, you know, we don't give them that much treats.

01:39:44.000 Only maybe like, I think like 10 mealworms fall out at a time.

01:39:48.000 And there's, what, 14 chickens?

01:39:51.000 So they all rush to get them.

01:39:52.000 But I gotta be honest, the chicken parties, there might be like 30 or 40 that come out, and people keep doing it, so I'm like... I know, because the other option would be to raise the cost of the chicken parties up, because the more people that come, otherwise it's going to be a chicken party 24-7, which I'm not against.

01:40:06.000 Well, I got an idea.

01:40:06.000 I got an idea.

01:40:07.000 Then you have a chicken rehab show.

01:40:09.000 Yeah, a chicken rehab show.

01:40:10.000 Here's my idea.

01:40:12.000 Hold on.

01:40:13.000 A drama reality show.

01:40:14.000 Here's my idea.

01:40:15.000 Poultry rehab.

01:40:16.000 My idea is right now we're using very rudimentary code, but I would love to get dynamic code where when the chicken meter fills all the way up, it doesn't just trigger.

01:40:26.000 It starts at 100 and then counts down to zero.

01:40:28.000 So the party goes on for the duration of the meter, which means while the party is happening, if you super chat, it'll bounce back up and keep partying.

01:40:34.000 Oh, good idea.

01:40:35.000 So then people could keep throwing money to keep the party going.

01:40:37.000 Keep the party going!

01:40:39.000 And people will be like...

01:40:40.000 Alright, let's read some more superchats.

01:40:41.000 We got Yofet. 0.62

01:40:42.000 He says, Hey guys, question for Mr. Rich.

01:40:45.000 Does he have another collab in the works with Mike Rowe?

01:40:48.000 Oh, cool.

01:40:50.000 Me and Mike have been talking about that actually.

01:40:52.000 Thanks for asking.

01:40:52.000 We did a Christmas song called Santa's Got a Dirty Job.

01:40:56.000 Because Mike Rowe does a great job, right?

01:40:59.000 So I was hanging out with Mike and I said, he's got this great voice.

01:41:02.000 People don't realize Mike Rowe sang opera for like 12 years.

01:41:06.000 What?

01:41:07.000 He's a phenomenal singer.

01:41:09.000 Phenomenal singer.

01:41:10.000 So he goes, that'd be great, John.

01:41:12.000 You should write a Christmas song.

01:41:13.000 So I wrote it and he came to Nashville.

01:41:15.000 We recorded it.

01:41:16.000 We put it out.

01:41:17.000 And this song, I was telling you before we went on, This song went number one on the sales chart across all genres and knocked Adele out of number one for eight days when her new record had just come out.

01:41:27.000 So you know they're sitting over there in London, New York going, Mike Rowe and John Rich, Santa's got a dirty job.

01:41:33.000 Adele's at number two for eight days.

01:41:35.000 This is, poor Adele, this keeps happening.

01:41:37.000 Remember the article we were reading about how the Let's Go Brandon song knocked Adele out of first place?

01:41:42.000 And this left-wing journalist was super upset about it?

01:41:44.000 Yeah.

01:41:45.000 All right, Matthew Hammond says, I thought country music was safe until I started hearing some big acts coming out for gun control after Sandy Hook.

01:41:52.000 How do we keep these ideas out of our culture?

01:41:54.000 Boycotts?

01:41:56.000 Better ideas.

01:41:58.000 There's quite a void, a gulf between the music industry, the country music industry and the country music audience.

01:42:07.000 I mean, massive.

01:42:09.000 And every now and then you'll hear somebody poke up and say something from the industry side and the fans go, I don't think so.

01:42:16.000 Well, that's only happened a couple of times because they understand what the backlash is like.

01:42:19.000 But in reality, a lot of the people on music row here in Nashville, not all, but many, majority, They would be the ones that would call those people out there that listen to country music, the deplorables.

01:42:30.000 Anybody that voted for Trump, there have been major record producers in Nashville that after Trump was elected, the guy walks in, he's got all these musicians sitting in a room in a big session, he goes, if anybody voted for Trump, raise your hand.

01:42:44.000 Two guys raised their hand, and he fired them on the spot and kicked them out of the studio.

01:42:48.000 I mean, that's the culture now of Music Row.

01:42:50.000 It's not the culture of a lot of the artists, but it is a culture of the industry.

01:42:53.000 Well, take a look at, uh, you're familiar with what happened with The Offspring and their drummer?

01:42:57.000 Yes.

01:42:58.000 Pete Parato?

01:42:58.000 Oh, yeah.

01:42:59.000 He's, he's, we got him, he got, he's recording tracks with us.

01:43:01.000 Good.

01:43:02.000 And it is a, it is a childhood dream come true.

01:43:04.000 On the one where you said the high, who was singing the highs?

01:43:06.000 Yeah.

01:43:06.000 That's Pete Parato on the drums.

01:43:08.000 He's so good.

01:43:08.000 Yeah, he's incredible.

01:43:09.000 So, uh, I'm a kid playing Offspring covers and he's, he's, he was their, I think, I think maybe their second drummer or maybe their third.

01:43:16.000 I think it's third.

01:43:16.000 Cause they had an early drummer who wasn't there for that long.

01:43:18.000 And, uh, he plays with them for almost two decades and then they disrespect him like that, that, you know, he, he, he couldn't get vaccinated because of, uh, uh, Guillain-Barre syndrome.

01:43:26.000 And then I, we ended up meeting him.

01:43:28.000 He says, yeah, I'll definitely roll some tracks with you.

01:43:30.000 Now I get the privilege, the honor of getting to record songs with this, this, you know, he's so good.

01:43:35.000 The way he slides across the head of the drum.

01:43:38.000 I mean, I don't know why he's, I mean, musical outlaws were always the ones who went against what the government said to do.

01:43:44.000 Yeah.

01:43:45.000 How punk?

01:43:45.000 Those were the actual outlaws that said, well, you know, I don't think so.

01:43:50.000 And they would buck the system.

01:43:51.000 Now it's the other way where all the tough guys out there, the Bruce Springsteens and so forth are out there going, you better do everything the government tells you to do.

01:44:00.000 Or, you can't come to my concert if you don't follow it to the letter.

01:44:03.000 I'm like, what happened to outlaw musicians?

01:44:06.000 What happened to the rambunctious punk rock?

01:44:09.000 Hey, take two of these and call me in the morning attitude from all of our American artists.

01:44:13.000 Where did that go?

01:44:14.000 It's almost like now the conservative artists are the new outlaws.

01:44:17.000 It's weird.

01:44:18.000 It's so crazy.

01:44:19.000 Alright, Dean Sherwood says, long time watcher for Super Chat.

01:44:22.000 I really enjoy the trailer shows.

01:44:24.000 Please ask John about the song 8th of November.

01:44:26.000 Heartbreaking.

01:44:27.000 Loved you guys at WeFest 2019.

01:44:30.000 Come back soon.

01:44:31.000 So what is 8th of November?

01:44:32.000 8th of November, one of the great things about country music is we get to write songs about actual people, actual places, actual events.

01:44:39.000 Put them into a song, put them out, and they actually get played.

01:44:42.000 Oh my gosh.

01:44:42.000 Like it's real as a heart attack.

01:44:44.000 So this song is about a Vietnam veteran, Big Kenny and I met in South Dakota, Deadwood, South Dakota, outside of Sturgis.

01:44:50.000 He was our bartender.

01:44:51.000 This was before we had had a record deal.

01:44:54.000 And this guy tells us a story about a battle, November 8th, 1965, the first major ambush of Vietnam.

01:45:00.000 All 27 out of 30 guys were killed except this one guy and two others, but they shot him up so bad that he went to Walter Reed for two years getting over his injuries.

01:45:10.000 He limped out of Walter Reed and guess what this guy does?

01:45:13.000 He signs up and does three more tours of Vietnam for the United States Army and then retires back in his home state of South Dakota.

01:45:20.000 He's telling us his story.

01:45:21.000 And I said, dude, you're an actual legit American hero.

01:45:24.000 Yes.

01:45:25.000 He goes, I ain't no hero, man.

01:45:26.000 The ones that didn't come back are the real heroes.

01:45:28.000 Wow.

01:45:29.000 So we wrote this song the 8th of November.

01:45:31.000 We took him all the way back to the... We had former communist Vietnamese guys take us back up to Mekong Delta and out into these fields into a crater that was made by one of our bombs right in the field where all those guys got slaughtered. 0.83

01:45:44.000 Took him down in there, had a shot of whiskey, sang the 8th of November.

01:45:47.000 It's on YouTube if you look up 8th of November documentary.

01:45:50.000 Wow.

01:45:50.000 You'll find it.

01:45:51.000 That's amazing.

01:45:52.000 But that's what country music really is to me.

01:45:55.000 That's why I make it because I can experience something real and I don't have to filter it.

01:45:59.000 I can just tell you about this incredible guy or tell you about this incredible situation and the fans eat it up and they love it because even though it's not their granddaddy, not their uncle, it reminds them of the people in their family that they love so much.

01:46:10.000 Wow.

01:46:11.000 Great song.

01:46:11.000 Beautiful.

01:46:12.000 Can I ask you something?

01:46:13.000 Yeah.

01:46:13.000 Which country artist inspired you the most?

01:46:16.000 I think the greatest singer-songwriter that ever lived was Johnny Cash.

01:46:20.000 I think, and the reason I say that is because he could say more with fewer words than anybody that ever put a pencil to the page.

01:46:28.000 If you write out the lyrics to a Johnny Cash song, it'll take up a third of the page and that's it.

01:46:33.000 That's the whole song.

01:46:34.000 But it's a tidal wave and Mount Everest of information and feeling that comes out of that.

01:46:39.000 It's like in the way it vibrates right here in his chest as it's coming out, and you can kind of hear the emotions in him.

01:46:46.000 He was so effective in everything that he did and so powerful and never duplicated.

01:46:51.000 One of the problems I have with modern music is I say it sounds like it went to the school of redundancy school.

01:46:58.000 I can just interchange the artist and interchange a lot of the songs.

01:47:03.000 But back in the day, you know, you had real characters that there's only one Dolly Parton.

01:47:07.000 Do you think it's auto-tune?

01:47:09.000 Like auto-tune that homogenizes the industry?

01:47:11.000 Or maybe pharmaceuticals?

01:47:11.000 No, I think it's our culture that homogenizes them.

01:47:13.000 It's what we've been talking about this entire podcast, that this system, this machine that's in place is trying to break out any individuality whatsoever.

01:47:21.000 Break it down, flush it out, get rid of it.

01:47:23.000 Everybody's got to think the same way, do the same thing.

01:47:26.000 And when those kids grow up and start making music, that's kind of how they think.

01:47:30.000 They don't really have the nerve to step outside of the box and take chances.

01:47:34.000 Alright, we got Amanda who says, Today is my daughter Sophia's 7th birthday.

01:47:38.000 She watches your show.

01:47:39.000 Can you please wish her a happy birthday?

01:47:41.000 Happy birthday, Sophia!

01:47:43.000 Nice job, Sophia.

01:47:44.000 Happy 7th birthday.

01:47:44.000 Congratulations.

01:47:46.000 You did it!

01:47:46.000 Alright.

01:47:47.000 Dallas Smith says, ask John if he's still friends with, is that Lilia?

01:47:52.000 Stepanova, I was friends with her in high school and she claimed to be close friends with you.

01:47:56.000 She's the OG barefoot beau contortionist. 1.00

01:47:59.000 If so, tell her I said hey, love your work by the way.

01:48:02.000 I have not talked to her in a long time, but that's a pretty incredible person.

01:48:06.000 Yeah, she can do.

01:48:08.000 You meet so many people out on the road.

01:48:10.000 I'm 48.

01:48:11.000 I took off on the road at 18 years old.

01:48:13.000 Wow.

01:48:13.000 I've been going the whole time.

01:48:15.000 If there's, like I said, a town more than 20,000 people, I've probably played at least twice.

01:48:20.000 Wow.

01:48:20.000 Did you do Blossom Music Center?

01:48:21.000 You were a player over there?

01:48:21.000 What's that?

01:48:22.000 Up in Akron?

01:48:22.000 Blossom Music Center?

01:48:23.000 Absolutely.

01:48:24.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:48:24.000 That's my hometown.

01:48:25.000 That's big country music territory.

01:48:26.000 Yeah, man.

01:48:27.000 That's my blood.

01:48:28.000 All right.

01:48:28.000 Wayne Shannon says, check out the survival podcast.com.

01:48:31.000 Learn to live a better life.

01:48:32.000 If times get tough, or even if they don't, I've been listening to Jack science, or Jack since 2012.

01:48:38.000 It's changed my life.

01:48:40.000 It says science, but I think when people do voice to text, things like that happen.

01:48:45.000 All right.

01:48:48.000 Phillip Hughes says, question for John, are you going to take Tim on a sightseeing tour of Nashville in your Cadillac convertible like you did Ben Shapiro?

01:48:55.000 I washed it yesterday, Tim.

01:48:58.000 Maybe, maybe.

01:48:59.000 It's a 68 Cadillac DeVille convertible.

01:49:02.000 That is the slickest thing you've ever seen. 0.99

01:49:04.000 It would be my honor to put, it's got a giant backseat too, put all you fellas in that sucker. 0.98

01:49:09.000 Oh, beautiful.

01:49:10.000 Take you right down Broadway, hooping and hollering, pull right up in front of Redneck Riviera, and let's get you on stage to jam a little bit with one of the bands.

01:49:17.000 When can we do it?

01:49:17.000 Saturday?

01:49:19.000 You tell me when.

01:49:20.000 I know a guy that's got a Cadillac and a bar.

01:49:24.000 I'd be happy to take you.

01:49:25.000 I'm totally down.

01:49:26.000 Or I also have a Smokey and the Bandit car.

01:49:28.000 You might want that one.

01:49:29.000 Whichever one you think is the best, we could do Saturday.

01:49:32.000 Theoretically, we could do Thursday or Friday afternoon.

01:49:36.000 They close at 11, though.

01:49:37.000 11 p.m.

01:49:38.000 Central Time.

01:49:39.000 What does?

01:49:41.000 I was looking at the hours and I was like, I'd really like to go to this bar.

01:49:43.000 It looks like they close at 11.

01:49:44.000 Well, my bar, if we know we're going, it does not close.

01:49:47.000 Oh, of course.

01:49:49.000 No, no, no.

01:49:50.000 In the afternoon.

01:49:50.000 In between my morning show and night show.

01:49:51.000 Or just Saturday.

01:49:52.000 You know, Nashville is a drinking town with a music problem, so just be very aware of that before you go downtown.

01:49:58.000 Yo, when we walked around, I think Sunday, through Nashville, it is the greatest downtown I've ever been to in my life.

01:50:03.000 Yeah.

01:50:04.000 I've been playing music my whole life.

01:50:04.000 I love music.

01:50:06.000 New York is random.

01:50:07.000 There's different neighborhood pockets, and it's just you gotta find the place.

01:50:10.000 Chicago, it's all business downtown.

01:50:13.000 There's art museums and stuff like that.

01:50:15.000 Los Angeles doesn't have a downtown.

01:50:17.000 When I come to Nashville, I'm like, it's live music.

01:50:19.000 You walk up to one bar restaurant, You can hear live music.

01:50:22.000 You walk 10 feet.

01:50:23.000 Totally different song playing.

01:50:24.000 Different artists.

01:50:25.000 And I'm like, this is amazing.

01:50:26.000 Both sides of the street.

01:50:27.000 All the doors are open.

01:50:28.000 It's stereo coming back and forth.

01:50:30.000 And listen, we open up at Redneck Revere at about 9.30 in the morning.

01:50:33.000 We close at 2.30 at night.

01:50:35.000 And there are live music literally all day long and into the night.

01:50:38.000 People come here from all over the world to hear that talent.

01:50:41.000 And the talent comes here from all over the world.

01:50:43.000 They come here from everywhere.

01:50:45.000 We got a girl from England that's over here. 1.00

01:50:47.000 We got a band from Australia that moved to Nashville that's playing at my bar.

01:50:51.000 It's an incredible place to visit.

01:50:52.000 What's the capacity for the stage and everything?

01:50:55.000 I've got three floors.

01:50:56.000 I've got a rooftop bar, so it depends on which floor you're on too.

01:50:59.000 I think people might come if we do this on Saturday.

01:51:02.000 Yeah.

01:51:02.000 Let's do it.

01:51:03.000 Let's do it.

01:51:03.000 I think a lot of people might show up.

01:51:05.000 Like we say in Nashville, don't threaten me with a good time.

01:51:08.000 I'll be, I'll be, that would be amazing.

01:51:10.000 I'd love to play some songs.

01:51:11.000 Sure.

01:51:13.000 Rock and roll.

01:51:13.000 Hang out.

01:51:13.000 Seamus, will you be there?

01:51:15.000 I won't be there.

01:51:16.000 Traveling for Easter.

01:51:17.000 That's right.

01:51:17.000 I'll scream your name out.

01:51:19.000 Thank you, Ian.

01:51:21.000 I'll zoom in with my harmonica.

01:51:23.000 Perfect, yes.

01:51:24.000 All right, let's grab some more.

01:51:25.000 Busted Knuckle says, I live in Rio.

01:51:27.000 Last census was 250K.

01:51:29.000 I know my family will be okay, but the way Amarillo is... Amarillo, is it?

01:51:33.000 Amarillo.

01:51:35.000 ...is I fear the city folk will destroy it if it goes bad.

01:51:38.000 People here won't take it well.

01:51:39.000 We're already pissed off.

01:51:42.000 Oh, man.

01:51:44.000 All right, let's jump down and grab some more Super Chats.

01:51:47.000 We're having too good of a time here.

01:51:48.000 You guys rock out there.

01:51:49.000 Yeah, seriously.

01:51:50.000 The super jets are right in front of me now with this setup.

01:51:52.000 I like it.

01:51:53.000 Grim Reaper said, here's another reason to have a 30 plus mag.

01:51:57.000 Bores travel in packs, hit one and doesn't fall. 1.00

01:52:00.000 Off the first time hit, off the first hit, the will all charge and tear apart a human.

01:52:06.000 You need every round to save your life hunting.

01:52:09.000 You ever see that viral tweet where the guy said, 30 to 50 feral hogs coming through my yard?

01:52:13.000 And all of these, you know, gun control liberals laughed at him and mocked him.

01:52:17.000 And then all of a sudden articles pop up saying, actually, yeah, hogs are a serious problem in many areas.

01:52:21.000 Yeah, they overpopulate everywhere.

01:52:23.000 Yeah, they're terrible.

01:52:24.000 But these people live in cities are like, oh, 30 hogs. 1.00

01:52:27.000 And feral hogs will kill you. 1.00

01:52:29.000 Yes, they're as dangerous as anything ever was.

01:52:32.000 Absolutely. 1.00

01:52:32.000 I heard regular farm pigs will kill you. 1.00

01:52:34.000 They will. 0.89

01:52:37.000 Like when you walk into the pig pen they'll start nipping at your heels and your legs and you gotta like push them back with sticks.

01:52:42.000 Those boars got tusks just like that.

01:52:44.000 You know pigs will eat each other. 1.00

01:52:46.000 Oh yeah. 0.98

01:52:47.000 I mean they are mean boys. 0.97

01:52:48.000 I just watched a pig crush a chicken bone. 0.88

01:52:51.000 Yeah.

01:52:52.000 I didn't know that but you give them a chicken bone.

01:52:54.000 It's like a redneck hippopotamus. 0.99

01:52:57.000 It is, that's great.

01:52:58.000 Oh, that's awesome.

01:53:01.000 No, people don't realize they're dangerous animals.

01:53:02.000 They are, yeah.

01:53:03.000 I mean, Dorothy fell in the pig pen in Wizard of Oz, remember?

01:53:06.000 And they all freaked out because they knew the pigs are going to eat Dorothy.

01:53:08.000 You know what it is?

01:53:09.000 There is just a complete lack of respect for nature.

01:53:13.000 Yeah.

01:53:13.000 That's true, man.

01:53:14.000 Yeah.

01:53:15.000 The Terror Bird is one of the ones.

01:53:16.000 Look up the Terror Bird.

01:53:17.000 That thing used to exist.

01:53:18.000 You ever hear of the Terror Bird?

01:53:19.000 It's like this nine foot tall vulture looking ostrich bird that used to hunt humans.

01:53:24.000 Or if we're going with extinct animals, man.

01:53:26.000 Oh my goodness.

01:53:26.000 I don't want to derail too far.

01:53:29.000 Why do you need a rocket launcher, Tyrannosaurus Rex?

01:53:32.000 That's right.

01:53:33.000 All right.

01:53:33.000 Andrew Hobson says, thanks for a horse of a different color.

01:53:36.000 It made my childhood and many road trips.

01:53:38.000 Also, Tim has radicalized me.

01:53:40.000 I thought I was pro 2A because I wanted a select fire rifle, but after hearing you, I would want a military warship if I could afford it.

01:53:47.000 Dreams are free, I guess.

01:53:49.000 Back in the day, people had warships.

01:53:51.000 And cannons.

01:53:53.000 And cannons.

01:53:54.000 Despite what Joe Biden has said.

01:53:55.000 Yeah, he's like, you can buy a cannon now.

01:53:57.000 You can buy a cannon when we start in the country, man. 0.97

01:53:59.000 Well, the stupid thing about that is antique firearms aren't even considered legally regulated firearms. 0.94

01:54:05.000 So flintlock pistols are just, they're not, you're not going to be able to do anything with it. 0.97

01:54:09.000 I mean, you could, but they're not regulated.

01:54:12.000 So yes, you can have cannons.

01:54:14.000 Can I give a piece of gun advice?

01:54:16.000 Yeah.

01:54:16.000 So there's a thing called, any gun owners out there, if you own a few guns or whatever you got, there's a thing called a gun trust.

01:54:23.000 And you can, it's basically a family trust.

01:54:26.000 You're the head of the trust.

01:54:27.000 Think of it as an LLC.

01:54:29.000 You can sign over the ownership of all your weapons into the family gun trust.

01:54:34.000 And if anybody ever does come to you and says, give me all your guns, you show them a piece of paper and go, I don't own any guns.

01:54:40.000 The trust owns the guns.

01:54:41.000 I'll see you in a courtroom.

01:54:43.000 and then they gotta go pierce the veil of that LLC to get down to you.

01:54:47.000 It's a whole layer of protection. It's a few hundred dollars. It's not crazy expensive.

01:54:52.000 I would suggest if you have any kind of collection of weapons at all, think about getting a gun trust.

01:54:58.000 Would that give multiple ownership then?

01:55:01.000 Yes, so your family members, anybody, if you're the executor of it,

01:55:05.000 you can add on your wife, your kids, your uncle, whoever.

01:55:08.000 So you don't pass away, they don't inherit the guns, they're just part of the trust.

01:55:12.000 Wow, that's actually really, that's brilliant.

01:55:13.000 Go look that up.

01:55:14.000 So there's also questions about who has a right to, you know, on your property use a weapon.

01:55:19.000 And so what I'm told in some areas which by the way the cops are like in the in an emergency someone can take the weapon but you know they're like but you someone shouldn't be bearing a weapon that they can't come in your house and take a gun that doesn't belong to them for no reason there's like rules and stuff I suppose they try to be more lax about it like depending which state you're in but there are some states that are ridiculous and strict So that's one way to... You mean somebody coming into your house and taking one of your weapons?

01:55:43.000 Like, if you own a gun, and then someone else who is hanging out at your house takes that and starts using it, some states are very, very strict on you're in possession of a firearm.

01:55:55.000 Got it.

01:55:55.000 Someone else in your home.

01:55:56.000 Right, right.

01:55:58.000 But you're talking about using it in self-defense, not someone taking it and committing a crime with it.

01:56:02.000 I don't I don't trust these these states the 70 states or whatever when they're like oh no no you're not supposed people who don't own the gun aren't allowed to use it because it's got you got you got to have a handgun license but in self-defense it's fine I'm like nah I don't trust you you're you're you're not Yeah, you might say that, but am I gonna trust the DA or whatever government official?

01:56:23.000 No.

01:56:23.000 If it's self-defense, defend yourself and let's go hash it out down the road.

01:56:27.000 I mean, don't stand there worrying about somebody's statute if it's your life on the line, right?

01:56:31.000 It's just ridiculous that it's even a factor, to be honest.

01:56:34.000 Yeah I know that they would tell you don't defend your life like no you're better off just sitting there and letting it happen like come on yeah no man welcome to reality in the United States.

01:56:42.000 This is a culture that is literally bent on punishing people for trying to protect themselves and trying to prepare for the future it's insane.

01:56:49.000 I think it's because of aggressive protection like the Romans they would kill everyone around them to protect their home city so that there's a it's a whole discussion about that. 0.77

01:56:56.000 I want to read this one, but I'm going to paraphrase it a little bit.

01:56:59.000 Liberty Bell says, When the city libs get desperate enough to work on farms, the jobs will be taken by the immigrants they fought to protect. 0.98

01:57:07.000 I mean, let's just be real.

01:57:08.000 Many of these undocumented, illegal immigrants, these people coming through the border, who are doing day labor or working on farms, have more skills. 0.54

01:57:19.000 So, I've been to the farms in California, where illegal immigrants are working and they're getting paid. 1.00

01:57:24.000 They get paid like 10 bucks an hour.

01:57:26.000 So if someone comes from the city and says, I need a job, I'm going to be like, this guy knows how to do it.

01:57:30.000 You don't.

01:57:31.000 Can you outwork this guy?

01:57:32.000 Yeah, it's not going to happen.

01:57:33.000 But I mean, that's basically what happens these days anyway.

01:57:37.000 When these factories try and hire people illegally because they can pay them under market prices.

01:57:43.000 What's going to happen is they're going to go to the farm and be like, I heard you guys need a poet on the farm.

01:57:49.000 Will you hire me for that?

01:57:50.000 Chickens are bored, I think.

01:57:53.000 I'm gonna read this one because I said I was right.

01:57:55.000 Donut fighting says Tim is kind of right here masks work when used properly

01:57:59.000 I started as a nurse right as Kovat started masks need to be disposed of between patients. Yes, correct, but it's

01:58:06.000 also like Look if I'm talking and then I I spit because sometimes you

01:58:11.000 do yeah, you can get people sick that way And if you're wearing a mask, you're not going to spit on them.

01:58:16.000 But mandating that every single person, whether they're sick or not, has to wear it, and mandating every single child, whether they're sick or not, has to wear it, now that's just government overreach.

01:58:25.000 Yeah, but you know that if you sneeze or something in a mask, the kind of mask that we all wear, and somebody's standing next to you, they could have a mask on too, if their eyes are even open.

01:58:35.000 And those particles, it's like the joke of, if you can smell the fart, you're not protected from the virus.

01:58:41.000 It's like the particles of that virus are so smaller than scent particles, you know, they're going to get out, they're going to float around in the air for a minute.

01:58:48.000 They come out the tops and the sides.

01:58:50.000 That's why the FDA called it an experimental medical device when it comes to stopping the virus.

01:58:56.000 I couldn't find it.

01:58:56.000 I was trying to find it.

01:58:58.000 I just think in terms of the simplistic, it'll provide some protection.

01:59:01.000 To what degree?

01:59:02.000 That's the debate.

01:59:03.000 It works for what it does, which is to block the spit. 0.89

01:59:05.000 That's the main reason.

01:59:06.000 But is it like wearing a gas mask?

01:59:08.000 No, of course not.

01:59:09.000 But my issue ultimately comes down to, I hate arguing the science because I care more about the liberty.

01:59:13.000 Going to children and be like, we don't care if you're sick, wear it. 0.89

01:59:16.000 Yeah, you gotta weigh the consequences of it for sure, man.

01:59:20.000 If they were like, hey, if you're sick, we want you to wear the mask, I'd be like, well, I kind of understand that. 0.99

01:59:23.000 But if they're like, we don't care if the kid's sick or not, I'm like, okay, this is stupid. 0.99

01:59:27.000 Well, if your kid is sick, you don't send them to school. 0.99

01:59:29.000 I mean, come on, guys.

01:59:30.000 I mean, let's go right to that.

01:59:32.000 They're like, you're not feeling well?

01:59:33.000 Oh, you got a little temperature.

01:59:33.000 Yeah.

01:59:35.000 You're staying home today.

01:59:37.000 Go on to school, just wearing your mask.

01:59:38.000 Nobody says that.

01:59:40.000 All right.

01:59:40.000 We're going to read this one.

01:59:41.000 This one, Beastly Devil says, Tim, a Vosh video showed up last night where he's featured on a panel with other political pundits.

01:59:48.000 He was making a case for teaching kids about sex in regards to promoting Abuse prevention?

01:59:53.000 Uh, no.

01:59:54.000 Vosh, come on. 0.90

01:59:54.000 You're the last guy who should be advocating for that stuff because... Well, I guess, actually, most people would assume you would, so... If you're trying... So, he's got these quotes that are suspect, and he was like, no, people are taking it out of context. 0.90

02:00:08.000 I'm like, okay, if you want to explain it that way, that it was out of context, you shouldn't be doing things like that.

02:00:12.000 Granted, I didn't see what this video is, so... But, uh, I wouldn't be surprised if it was real.

02:00:18.000 All right, let's grab, uh, we'll try and grab a couple more.

02:00:20.000 We just got so many superchats, man.

02:00:21.000 I wish we could read them all.

02:00:23.000 Yeah.

02:00:24.000 Matthew Gregor says, shout out to Seamus!

02:00:27.000 Tim, you should have Dr. Sakonikas from Christendom College in Front Royal.

02:00:36.000 It would make a great discussion.

02:00:38.000 That said, I have a soft spot for small liberal arts colleges.

02:00:41.000 Also, Seamus, I have an icon for you if there's a good place to mail it.

02:00:44.000 Oh yeah, thank you so much.

02:00:45.000 So I think there's a P.O.

02:00:46.000 box, right Tim, that people can send fan mail to, so if you find that on the website.

02:00:50.000 And I very much appreciate the shout-out.

02:00:52.000 Thank you.

02:00:52.000 God bless you.

02:00:53.000 TimCast.com, About section, we have a P.O.

02:00:54.000 box.

02:00:57.000 All right.

02:00:58.000 Wotan Volk says, Mr. Rich, I was happy to see you on the show.

02:01:01.000 Thanks for being strong and standing on your principles, like men should do.

02:01:05.000 It is refreshing to hear you talk about your kids that way.

02:01:09.000 People should fear coming for your kids.

02:01:11.000 Because there are a lot of people who are just scared to stand up and they need to hear that strong sentiment.

02:01:19.000 Don't back down.

02:01:21.000 I think you gotta put on your own oxygen mask before you put on the masks of others.

02:01:26.000 That's correct.

02:01:27.000 You gotta make sure you're taking care of your friends and your family.

02:01:29.000 Alright, we'll grab a couple more.

02:01:32.000 John Samuel says, Hey, my name is Sammy Mitchell, producer, songwriter here in Nashville, produced to Luke Combs and other stuff.

02:01:38.000 Can I come hang on the cast while you're in town?

02:01:41.000 Reach out.

02:01:42.000 IG Sammy Mitchell.

02:01:43.000 All right.

02:01:44.000 Security is super tight here.

02:01:45.000 And especially considering what's been going on in the past, in these past few months, you know, we got swatted eight times or whatever, plus the bomb squad showed up.

02:01:52.000 So I don't know if we can, I think that's going to be a no, but I guess Saturday, we'll love it.

02:01:57.000 Well, yeah, we'll play some music.

02:01:59.000 I'll tell you that Luke Combs is one of the best new guys out there.

02:02:02.000 Luke Combs is legit.

02:02:03.000 Great country singer.

02:02:05.000 Right on.

02:02:05.000 Well, I think this Saturday sounds like we're going to have a blast and we're going to have, I guess, effectively a hangout.

02:02:11.000 Bring your ID, Sammy, because other people might tell me that they're Sammy.

02:02:13.000 Yeah.

02:02:15.000 All right.

02:02:16.000 Here we go.

02:02:19.000 What else?

02:02:19.000 What is it?

02:02:21.000 Karen Bae says, is a trust legal in New Jersey because nothing else is?

02:02:24.000 Look it up.

02:02:25.000 That's kind of what I was getting at.

02:02:27.000 New Jersey and Maryland are dark states when it comes to guns and I wouldn't trust them.

02:02:30.000 Well, I just looked up Maryland, and it looks like it is an option, and some legal places can look at it for you.

02:02:35.000 Cool.

02:02:35.000 You can just look at it for your state.

02:02:37.000 Right on.

02:03:43.000 I am also here in the corner.

02:03:44.000 Thank you very much for coming, John.

02:03:45.000 I have to say, you are activating memories that I forgot I had, because I love songs like The 8th of November.

02:03:51.000 It's a little bit scandalous, but I love Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy.

02:03:55.000 Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy.

02:03:56.000 It's a hilarious party song.

02:03:58.000 It was great.

02:04:01.000 It caused a small baby boom in the early 2000s.

02:04:02.000 I was going to say, I'm sure there were net effects from that song.

02:04:06.000 That was wild, but I really enjoyed your work.

02:04:08.000 I appreciate it.

02:04:08.000 I'm so glad you could come.

02:04:09.000 Anyway, you guys can follow me on Twitter at sarahpatchlids and on minds.com and I also have sarahpatchlids.me.
