In this episode, we discuss the censorship of conservative commentator Steven Crowder, and why it's so dangerous. We also discuss the Supreme Court ruling that says cops can't use caretaking as an excuse to take your guns without a warrant.
00:01:15.000Filing a lawsuit, or at least he's announcing he will be filing a lawsuit and an injunction against YouTube, and it's really interesting.
00:01:22.000We're gonna go through what they're talking about, why they're doing it, and I think this is extremely important because, well, once Crowder goes, then who's next on the chopping block?
00:01:31.000See, before they started going after Crowder, they were going after other channels as well, people like Alex Jones, and we all knew it was only a matter of time before they would make their move and slowly just get rid of more and more content creators, more and more Channels, so we definitely to talk about this and make sure we're keeping this at the forefront because this is gonna be really really important and I'll say it too, you know We obviously want Crowder to be able to continue continue doing his work and there's also a bit of self-preservation in there It's it's a it's I know what happens to us the moment Crowder's out of the picture They're gonna keep moving down the line.
00:02:16.000We also got police reform in the Minneapolis area.
00:02:19.000The Black Lives Matter activists have won.
00:02:21.000And now they're going to be creating an unarmed traffic enforcement division, which I can only assume will be, like, I want to say like a Benny Hill movie, but with more violence and injury.
00:03:00.000of if you want to understand a little bit about recoil magazine, we like to be edgy in that fashion,
00:03:05.000looking at new products, what's really coming out. So instead of it just being about whether a firearm
00:03:10.000or you know how evaluating a firearm, we talk about culture, we talk about night vision,
00:03:14.000how to do it. And so it's, it's really about education and aspiration. You change stuff,
00:03:21.000gun stuff, gun stuff. Yep. The core idea being culture leads policy.
00:03:27.000You change culture by going out and doing stuff.
00:03:28.000Speaking of Steven Crowder, the other day we... So on Saturday, I went and actually, I finally got the Sig M400 that Crowder had sent to me.
00:04:11.000You got me in the corner pushing buttons, I'm Sarah Patch Litz.

00:04:22.000You can do it through Stripe or PayPal.
00:04:23.000See, we're building up the site, we're making it better, because we know many people have asked.
00:04:26.000But this site exists because the fear of censorship was very real, and I realized if I didn't start setting something up that would exist outside of YouTube, I got all my eggs in one basket.
00:04:36.000And, you know, we can get banned the same as Crowder can.
00:04:39.000So just like Crowder has the Mug Club, which you guys should definitely check out and support him considering what they're going through and how important this lawsuit is, we have TimCast.com where you can join us as well.
00:04:48.000And when you do, you get access to the members area, a ton of exclusive members-only podcast segments and full episodes.
00:05:45.000Steven Crowder initiates legal action against YouTube.
00:05:48.000From Crowder's website, they report, last week, Louder With Crowder LLC, through its lawyer, gave a legal notice to YouTube of the intent to file a lawsuit and seek an injunction.
00:05:57.000They go on to mention they have a video available on their website.
00:05:59.000Last fall, after the Vox Adpocalypse, YouTube re-monetized Crowder's channel.
00:06:03.000They said we had a record-breaking election livestream in November, and incredibly successful streams thereafter.
00:06:09.000If there ever was a target painted on our backs, it was then.
00:06:12.000Once we hit the new year and a new president ascended, the landscape of social media shifted in favor of the left.
00:06:18.000Democrats took control of the presidency and now have control of both houses of Congress.
00:06:23.000As such, YouTube and other big tech platforms feel emboldened with very few lawmakers standing in the way.
00:06:29.000He says, in 2021, YouTube hit them with a warning of a strike over election content, then issued the first hard strike.
00:06:37.000The first strike was related to a COVID policy in their March 18th video of the one-year anniversary of 15 Days to Flatten the Curve.
00:06:44.000The studio is familiar with YouTube's policies on COVID, so I'll just give you the gist of it.
00:06:49.000And I went over this the first time they gave him a strike.
00:06:51.000Crowder did not break any rules in this capacity.
00:06:54.000And I got really angry because I get this email from Google when this is going down, like well in advance of any of this censorship, straight up saying, here are the exact conditions you must meet to violate this policy.
00:07:08.000They said you can't say two specific things together, which obviously I can't say because YouTube will take us down if I do, even if I explain it.
00:07:18.000Their algorithms don't understand the difference between explaining something, and it's all the same to them.
00:07:25.000Crowder never said that there was widespread fraud.
00:07:28.000Crowder never mentioned anything about overturning or anything like that.
00:07:33.000They gave him a strike, which is bunk.
00:07:36.000The next one, the second one, is the craziest.
00:07:37.000Apparently, they're claiming that Crowder and his team were glorifying the death of Micaiah Bryant for agreeing with the police, that the police officers were justified in the shooting.
00:07:48.000Now, of course, media matter says that they were mocking the woman.
00:07:53.000I don't see that as still Violating the policies which says you know glorifying or reveling in someone's death when you're like hey, this is the law if you break it This is what's going to happen I think YouTube is reaching as Crowder explains He says the concern they have is that YouTube is actively looking for violations in their past videos that aren't actually violations in order to issue a third hard strike once they're allowed to stream to the platform
00:08:17.000Which would de-platform them from YouTube.
00:08:19.000YouTube has a pattern of applying policies and even stretching those policies beyond any reasonable reading of the policy in order to harm channels which take a contrary view of their opinions.
00:09:15.000Well, this is really important, but I gotta say, to Stephen and crew, Obviously, we all care.
00:09:22.000I think the people who watch this show care about principle and recognize the commies are going to have their free speech, the Nazis are going to have their free speech, and we're going to be annoyed with them, but we're going to argue, and that's the purpose of free speech.
00:09:35.000And that means people you don't like, they get rights too.
00:09:39.000The problem is the people we're up against.
00:09:42.000I hate to call it left and right because it really doesn't make sense economically or even in terms of tradition versus progressivism.
00:09:48.000It's just zealots who want power, whose ideology is there is no truth but power, and then people who are like, let's have a fair debate, a fair argument over this.
00:10:01.000And I wonder what precedent could be set.
00:10:05.000There's a lot of people need to understand, like, when we watch James O'Keefe filing these lawsuits against the New York Times and CNN, a lot of people say you can't do it.
00:10:12.000You can't do it for this, that, and this reason.
00:10:27.000But if you just sit there and let these companies do this, there will never be precedent set.
00:10:32.000So, I'll throw it to you guys, otherwise I'm going to keep ranting on censorship.
00:10:37.000You know, Ian, obviously, you were talking about, just before the show, creating terms of service for mines, because you helped put that together.
00:10:42.000Yeah, honestly, in addition to it being up against, you know, like you said, zealots, people that are just like
00:10:48.000kind of kind of crazy about political correctness and stuff.
00:10:52.000We're also up against centralization of power and algorithm machine learning algorithms that aren't necessarily.
00:10:57.000And we're seeing the flaws in the system of a centralized service that's dictating what can and can't be said through
00:11:02.000a machine algorithm because stuff gets taken out of context.
00:11:05.000Like you said, you can't explain certain things even though you're not using it derogatorily.
00:11:08.000Because the voice to text thing they do for captions would just show the sentence.
00:11:35.000So, but I mean you can, so the firearms industry actually in some ways, not the industry, but the community, because culture as well, was something, someone saved by the internet because it allowed people from rural areas, because a lot of more firearms ownership in rural areas, communicate with one another.
00:11:49.000And then they started making YouTube channels, how, so that people could learn how to do things.
00:11:54.000And it is ironically controversial in the United States right now.
00:11:58.000I don't want to use ironically too heavy because it's way too hipster.
00:12:05.000No, but it's ironically controversial that a person can have their page taken down because they were teaching somebody how to not hurt themselves.
00:12:12.000Do you remember when Google banned the word gun?
00:12:30.000Like my personal, my personal Instagram is at Fox row official.
00:12:34.000And my search page is all Gundams and motorcycles because it's like, you look at my page, I've got guns and motorcycles, but my search history, if you look at the search phrases, it's all Gundam.
00:13:01.000Anyway, Google only, like a lot of people were, so we went to the range yesterday, we're filming the vlog, and we fired the Barrett, what is it, M82A1?
00:13:10.000That's the kind of nomenclature that people use, yeah.
00:13:12.000And 50BMG and Crowder sent me, a year ago, a Sig M400.
00:13:32.000And a lot of people were just like, I got asked like 10 times, are you sure you can do this?
00:13:36.000Like YouTube will delete your vlog, won't it?
00:13:37.000And I'm like, I went through the rules.
00:13:39.000They say as long as you're showing the weapon and shooting it in a range, I mean, obviously they're YouTubers who are still producing, but I don't know.
00:13:46.000Maybe we'll get the channel demonetized.
00:13:47.000Yeah, I mean, there's different types of content you can see people creating.
00:13:51.000Either it's just like short films, people do that all the time, usually with airsoft guns, but you get the point.
00:13:56.000But they also do how-to, like how to disassemble a firearm so you can clean it.
00:14:01.000So when your channel, your video gets demonetized because you're teaching somebody how to safely clean their firearm.
00:14:09.000You're getting dinged with something that says you're teaching someone how to manufacture.
00:15:21.000And I wonder, because I've always been curious about that.
00:15:25.000I'm like, dude's got a gun sitting on his desk.
00:15:27.000Or he's wearing, he's got his holsters.
00:15:30.000And I'm just like, I'm pretty sure there's some, you know, Democrat anti-gun person sitting at YouTube HQ in Silicon Valley with their finger over the band button, just like, you stupid gun, moron gun, I'll ban you.
00:15:45.000Like Crowder said, they're looking for something to get him for.
00:15:48.000Yeah, and I think that's the part where you establish intent.
00:15:50.000It is not really about honest disagreement, we're looking at intent now.
00:15:56.000But, the bigger question is, and I'm glad Crowder is filing legal action, this is a good thing, because like I said, you've gotta sue, and then make that argument.
00:16:06.000But, they can ban whoever they want whenever they want.
00:17:32.000But, but you guys got to fund that run ads or something, or we, we fund it through the fact that people like our publication, but it can get really, really expensive.
00:17:40.000So we, so in, in, for instance, in the members only section of our website, we have to pay for that bandwidth.
00:18:11.000And then they take a small percentage of super chats and they take a percentage of, you know, advertisements.
00:18:16.000So the issue is, they're fronting the costs for all of these things.
00:18:22.000Should we be entitled to this service?
00:18:23.000And that's where things get challenging.
00:18:25.000And man, I'm pretty much on the fence.
00:18:27.000But so long as, I'm on the fence in terms of like their business, private company, but where I draw the line is, if they've monopolized public discourse If they have grown to the size to where they're influencing elections, now I think it's a public service.
00:18:44.000And that's interestingly a more liberal argument conservatives never used to have.
00:18:48.000And I'm like, I think that they've grown and taken over the Commons.
00:18:53.000We don't have town hall discourse anymore.
00:18:56.000People are coming to this show and hearing arguments and discussions and commenting.
00:19:01.000YouTube's effectively dominated the space.
00:19:04.000Well, now they owe public discourse, in which case, I think it's extremely dangerous if they're gonna start removing people who are setting up their businesses.
00:19:15.000Maybe a better way to put it is, if a private company bought all of the available business space in downtown, At a certain point, people are going to be like, okay, fine, you can own it, but you can't ban people for selling a product you don't like.
00:19:27.000Like, people can pay you rent, you can set up terms for the property, but we need commerce to exist.
00:19:34.000We need to be able to have reasonable discourse.
00:19:36.000And the problem I see with this is that massive multinational corporations, if they see YouTube get away with this, they can just start to dominate whatever public space they want, whatever area of the commons they want, and then just say, but it's a private company, it's ours now.
00:19:53.000Well, on the forefront of that, you're also looking at, what is the intent?
00:19:57.000Again, you think about it in the sense of, we can talk about guns, we can talk about anything political, even with Steven Crowder.
00:20:05.000Do they not want him to be heard, or do they not trust him as a good faith actor, is a good question, right?
00:20:12.000Well, I think if you look at the left faction, Tends to be in my opinion a there is no truth, but power
00:20:20.000faction. Yep They accuse the right of being that and it's really insane
00:20:26.000that perhaps many of the establishment Republicans for sure But when we're looking at anti critical race theory
00:20:32.000individuals and their alignment on the right These are the people who reject that that ethos and so
00:20:37.000quite literally you have the left lying and accusing the right of what it's doing
00:20:41.000Itself which creates a serious problem Do they think Crowder is a bad faith actor?
00:20:46.000No, I think they believe Crowder is truthful.
00:20:56.000There are a lot of leftists, a lot, maybe the majority, who are good faith, but they're following the bad faith Pied Piper, believing they're following the truth.
00:21:05.000And then they say the same thing about Trump and Trump's diehard fans.
00:21:09.000And I'm like, okay, but that's not the majority of whatever this faction is.
00:21:13.000There are a lot of people who are begrudgingly voting for Trump.
00:21:17.000And then you have a lot of people on the left who begrudgingly voted for Biden.
00:21:21.000So it's interesting, but in the end, people like, you know, in the intellectual dark web, disaffected liberals, moderates, have more in common with conservatives based on moral frameworks and rejection of critical race theory and left-identitarianism, believing in free speech.
00:21:38.000than the establishment Democrats. And there's a big difference between voting for Trump and voting
00:21:42.000for Biden. You vote for Trump because he's a human Molotov cocktail, or because you really like him
00:21:45.000and his policies. People vote for Biden because he's a feeble old man they think they can overtake
00:21:51.000and steal power, or they genuinely like his policies, but I believe that was probably like
00:21:55.000a tiny faction. Most of the people voted for him because they just hated Trump. Based on that,
00:21:59.000you cannot build a government. So. Yeah, what...
00:22:06.000Most people have more in common than they realize, I think.
00:22:10.000Occupy Wall Street showed that when people were railing against the Federal Reserve and the monetary system kind of putting us all against each other.
00:22:52.000It's, there is no truth but power and I deserve it.
00:22:55.000You know, it's interesting because there is, I understand what they're saying when they say that.
00:23:02.000That, what's the point of having an argument with you?
00:23:04.000If they want to create their own system, their own utopia, their own leftist, you know, perfect world, there's no point having an argument with a bunch of people who disagree with them.
00:23:12.000They just need to take your power away, destroy your system, and then build a new one.
00:23:17.000So for the time being, I don't think the core of their philosophy is there is no truth but power.
00:23:21.000It's in order for me to build my utopia, I must seize all of your power and the truth be damned.
00:24:07.000I'm not going to be able to answer that one because it's, it, I think you could make the argument in many ways that they're functionally neither right now.
00:24:16.000They're functionally neither because I mean, sure, they have, you have, they're not citizens in the sense that they work for the government.
00:24:22.000That's where do we make that distinction either is another question.
00:24:26.000Cause that's, I think that's a very modern way of thinking.
00:24:59.000So the line gets blurred because you have when you talk about the police, you're talking about a very large swath of people.
00:25:06.000You've got your small town sheriff and you've got CIA, you've got FBI, you've got BORTAC, you've got people who have We're much more look much more militant.
00:25:17.000Most people don't see them and they're are they both considered the police?
00:25:21.000Well, so let's get into meat potatoes here.
00:25:24.000They they've successfully reformed their police and it's it's beyond what I would consider because I've said we need reform, but I'm usually talking about creating more divisions like an unarmed traffic enforcement.
00:25:35.000Well, maybe if the idea If the idea is like you see someone commit a traffic violation, and you write down their license plate, and they mail them a ticket, that's something they've been talking about doing.
00:25:45.000But what do you think would happen if someone, you know, an unarmed civilian tries pulling over?
00:25:50.000Let's say there's a guy, and maybe he was at a party.
00:25:53.000And he wakes up, and he's got a gun, and he goes to one of the people who lives there, and then he says, give me all your money, and then shows that he's got a gun.
00:28:12.000Now, if they pull you over while you're driving, you get a ticket and don't pay it, they can still go to your house and arrest you and go into your house.
00:29:01.000They can eventually come to your house maybe to serve a warrant for failure to appear or something like that.
00:29:06.000But let's say you never even knew you did anything wrong.
00:29:08.000Let's say you didn't do anything wrong.
00:29:10.000Let's say you were driving right and one of these unarmed people was just like, eh, he blew a stop sign as far as I'm concerned.
00:29:14.000You get a ticket in the mail, you never realize it came in the mail.
00:29:17.000You're like, I don't know what these are, you throw it in the trash.
00:29:19.000Then one day they show up at your house, and you're like, what's happening?
00:29:23.000When there's an interaction between you and the officer, I think there's a likelihood you're gonna be aware of what's happening.
00:29:30.000This will probably increase the likelihood cops start showing up to people's homes, and I can only imagine that would maintain the same ratio of violent encounters.
00:29:57.000So I can only imagine that people are gonna be like, you get pulled over, and a guy walks up in like a polo and khakis, and he's like, um, excuse me sir, you are speeding, I'm supposed to write you a, who are you, are you a cop?
00:30:11.000What obligation do I have to stop for someone who's not a cop?
00:30:13.000I mean, are you just gonna look back in your mirror and say it's a red and yellow light, not a red and blue light, so I might as well just drive home?
00:30:18.000Oh, I live in a gated community, you're not allowed in here, so if you come in here I'm gonna call the actual cops to tell you to not come in.
00:32:41.000We just called all the people that we knew.
00:32:43.000We built a kind of a network through social media conversation or through signal or through text messages and we established ways that we talk to each other so that we could very effectively verify rumors.
00:32:56.000So one of the worst things that happened during the riots last year, not this year, was essentially the entirety of social media became an advertisement for things that aren't happening.
00:33:09.000The white supremacists are coming down from New Brighton.
00:33:14.000And it was like everyone was on so high alert that they were spreading rumors so quickly, which added to the fervor.
00:33:21.000It added to the terror in the sense And so one of the things that we had to do as a community is, by our own volition, by our own choice, verify information ourselves.
00:33:33.000So, okay, if someone's saying that this is on fire or they're moving towards... One of the concerns that they had last year was, If the police provide a strong enough presence in defending a precinct or they harden targets in like, when they mean harden target, like make it difficult for people to loot and riot in certain areas, they're going to move into the residential areas.
00:33:57.000So the moment we heard that, it was like, okay, how can we verify that information?
00:34:01.000Because that sounds a lot like hearsay, but it also has a big threat.
00:34:05.000So you're basically creating like a neighborhood watch.
00:34:14.000Remember when I was talking about this, maybe like a week or two ago when I said, what's going to start happening is there's more violence.
00:34:20.000You'll see the formation of like local community groups.
00:34:26.000Text, you know, there'll be text groups and it's going to escalate from there.
00:34:29.000Yeah, and we took it a step further of having triggers and conditions.
00:34:33.000Or conditions and appropriate responses.
00:34:35.000So like, in the event that X happens, we do Y. Right?
00:34:38.000In the event that we see this happen, so like, if the protest goes to this precinct, we go to this person's house and get their wife and child out.
00:35:17.000Yeah, I mean, the term Minnesota nice is not entirely pejorative.
00:35:20.000It also does mean that like, generally speaking, you can drive through most of the city and not be in actual fear for your life.
00:35:26.000But when I go to a place and I see a roadblock with armed people that just by looking at them know that they have no idea what they're doing with that firearm, given it's their right to have it, but I know that they're not going to, they don't know what they're doing with it.
00:35:38.000I'm not going to put myself in the position of no reward and all risk.
00:35:44.000I want to show you guys this post I found on Reddit.
00:35:47.000So I'm browsing Reddit and political humor.
00:35:51.000If you go on Reddit and you click All, you'll see every post.
00:36:10.000It shows a photo from the Capitol and says, it cracks me up when the left is referred to as radical, as if the left is running around carrying assault rifles, denying science, and discussing not accepting the election results.
00:36:24.000And I'm like, does any of these people have the internet four years ago?
00:36:28.000Like, for four years did they use the internet?
00:36:37.000No one, not anyone, I mean, it'd be kind of a crazy thing to see a guy running around with, like, an actual M16, or maybe even, like, a legit belt-fed machine gun of some sort.
00:37:33.000What's going on in the Autonomous Zone?
00:37:34.000So in the Autonomous Zone, from what I understand, and this is going to be a combination of... It's a difficult piece to explain entirely, but what you have is essentially people thinking that the cops are going to come in and raid their buildings.
00:37:48.000So you'll have like when you the picture that we're talking about was classically a guy on a rooftop with an AR-15 style rifle sitting up there like he's providing overwatch for the city, right?
00:38:16.000But I do know that if you go out into Minneapolis at night and you go into the right neighborhoods, you will find people on rooftops with guns.
00:38:49.000I'm going to let everyone in a big secret.
00:38:51.000And this is going to shock a lot of people.
00:38:53.000You know what would happen if you were in a big city and you were just walking down the street and there were two cops in front of you and they were walking down the street?
00:38:59.000You know what would happen if you walked past those cops?
00:39:04.000It's like, Chicago is notorious for its bad cops.
00:39:09.000We had a video where like, this cop grabbed, not a video but a story about a cop, grabbed a meter maid because she was riding, he parked illegally, she wouldn't take it, so he grabbed her by the throat and lifted her up and slammed her against the wall.
00:39:19.000Chicago is notorious for crooked cops.
00:39:22.000And I see a cop on the street, I'm like, howdy.
00:39:48.000No, uh, we saw, we encountered a place in Minneapolis that, uh, this last year, if you looked at, um, New Brighton and where all the looting was, um, we, we got to, I got to meet some people that it was, it was four guys outside of a tobacco shop.
00:40:03.000Um, and they all had, they all had AK-47s and they're just chilling there because that was one of two buildings that did not get looted in the area.
00:40:10.000And the good news is the left only wants to ban, uh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't say the left, the Democrats only want to ban AR-15.
00:40:53.000And at what point in time does ignorance become malice?
00:40:55.000Because if you look at the foray of data that we have in any relating to gun violence and gun control, I mean, it's not a hard argument to make.
00:41:04.000The problem is that you've made it so many times that no one cares anymore.
00:41:08.000All the big violence happens in places where there's gun control.
00:41:12.000Perhaps we should start making the conclusion that gun control begets violence.
00:41:16.000And I think malice, so obviously nothing's absolute, there's probably a lot of ignorant people who just follow along, but it's gotta be malice, and you need to understand this, when you make the same argument 800,000 times, and they don't care and keep lying, okay, it's not ignorance anymore.
00:41:31.000Like, when someone says that stupid meme, you know, no self-respecting hunter would use an assault weapon, and then you're like, okay, first of all, assault weapon is a nebulous term that means different things in different places, and it's ill-defined, because I love that meme of the Ruger 10-22 with and without a pistol grip, and one's an assault weapon and one's not.
00:41:49.000And then you mention that hunters use AR-15s.
00:41:52.000Like, I think it's the most popular rifle used in hunting.
00:41:55.000Yeah, I wouldn't say the most popular, but it's very common.
00:41:57.000And you gotta look at the different types of hunting, because hunting is a broad spectrum.
00:42:16.000They just want to have a conversation, right?
00:42:18.000The story that I get to have is when I went to college after the military, in my senior year, the Parkland shooting happened.
00:42:28.000And so the woke chapter of the school decided to get together and host a conversation about gun control.
00:42:35.000The extent of the knowledge of the people in the room, there was me, one other veteran, and a guy who had grown up hunting and who was an avid hunter.
00:42:42.000The three of us were the only three who had ever owned firearms, ever bought them, and the other 30 people, the extent of their knowledge on anything to do with firearms, was watching a single Vice video.
00:42:53.000Oh, so they were well-versed and experienced.
00:42:55.000Yeah, well, the point is like... I was kidding.
00:42:59.000They knew exactly what they're talking about.
00:43:00.000And the problem that you have there is we can look at each other as equals, as people, but we do not have equal information.
00:43:07.000We do not know, you don't, when someone thinks that they deserve a position at the table, when they're not even capable of being literate on the subject, why are we debating?
00:43:18.000Are you saying service guarantees citizenship?
00:43:20.000I am reading that book for the first time because you've mentioned it.
00:43:25.000I'm reading Starship Troopers for the first time right now.
00:43:27.000Well, yeah, it's a huge problem, especially for me, because I got, there's a photo of me that Mike Feede took, so he came out, he's the BMX guy from the vlogs, and he came out with us, and as I was carrying the Barrett, which is a ridiculously large and heavy gun, I had this, you know, grin, let's put it that way.
00:43:45.000I'd call it something more, but we don't swear, we don't do that here.
00:43:48.000And so, no, a swear grin, it's a, you know.
00:43:52.000Anyway, somebody commented Tim's journey from, I'm in favor of some reasonable gun control to Two Absolutists is the greatest character arc ever or something like that.
00:44:06.000I was interested in hearing the thoughts and opinions of those who owned guns, but having never fought, having, well, I did fire one, but having not owned any or gone through the process to own any or learned anything about different types of ammunition or weapons, I was like, I think a conversation makes sense.
00:44:29.000So much I'd break into my house and then they made this really really hilarious meme where it was like You know, you know the Sheba's that are all like weak and pathetic.
00:44:38.000Yeah Yeah, and it was it was like Tim in 2019 and it was the weak sad one saying help someone's trying to break into my house call 9-1-1 and then it was like Tim pool 2020 and it's like the big rip dog carrying a bunch of guns and he's like you get what you deserve and So after someone tried breaking in, the cop told me, he's like, I'll paraphrase, he basically said, get a gun.
00:45:00.000And he said, if it were me, here's what I'd do.
00:45:02.000So I went to a local police station and I said, what's the process for New Jersey?
00:45:06.000And they gave me information that was bad.
00:45:08.000And then I went online, looked it up, and I got information that was bad.
00:45:11.000And then I was like, I don't have time for this.
00:45:13.000I'm working crazy hours and everything.
00:45:25.000They need to make sure I can get the paperwork.
00:45:27.000I think it took me like two months to finally be able to go and pick up the equipment.
00:45:31.000And, you know, we were talking earlier in the show about Steven Crowder sending me the Sig M400.
00:45:36.000The reason I couldn't get it for a year I could have got it sooner, but I couldn't get it because they sent it to New Jersey, which has insane laws, which made it very difficult.
00:45:44.000The gun had to be modified in several ways before I could pick it up, before they could ship it out to any other store.
00:45:50.000And so there was a process, and it fell through, and I'm like, I don't have time to deal with this.
00:45:55.000They put all these roadblocks in the way to make sure you basically can't do it.
00:45:59.000Well, now we're basically in West Virginia, and so they just snap their fingers, and here you go.
00:46:03.000That's what constitutional carry is like.
00:46:04.000So that was New Jersey you were moving from?
00:46:13.000Which essentially what you're saying is that New Jersey law says that you are legal if you are incapable and you are illegal if you are capable.
00:46:23.000I mean, yep, so that means they don't trust you, and that means it's malice.
00:46:28.000I just think it was funny, so when we were filming the vlog, and I'm at the gun shop picking up the Sig M400, finally gets shipped in, and one of the guys at the shop, so I do the background check, I do Nick's, and they were researching me, so it was a little bit longer, but it was like 15 minutes.
00:46:43.000And then he says, congratulations, you know, Uncle Sam says you're allowed to have the gun.
00:46:47.000And I was like, oh, thank you, Uncle Sam, for allowing me to exercise my inalienable right.
00:46:55.000It's it's crazy because these leftists that there's there's a lot of ignorant ones, but the people who work for these nonprofits, the people who are running policy.
00:47:04.000They know that an AR-15 is one pull the trigger, one bullet comes out.
00:48:00.000Well yeah, so you think about body mechanics, like when I'm, every individual pull of the trigger, you look at, go look at like a three gun competition and go look at someone who's really good at it.
00:48:10.000It almost looks like he's shooting fully automatic.
00:48:12.000The fact is that he's doing is each, with each pull of the trigger, he is making a conscious decision to pull that trigger and put that bullet as best as he can where he wants it.
00:48:20.000So if I'm just holding the trigger and holding it and swinging my gun around like a hose, I'm probably not going to hit my target.
00:48:26.000I think if anybody's played a game, like, you ever played The Division?
00:48:29.000I played the first one for about a week.
00:48:38.000But, you, in, in that game, it's actually pretty great, because you can get, like, real guns.
00:48:43.000You know, and, I always played, I always used, like, my favorite gun to use in the game was the, was the M1, or M1A or whatever, because, for that reason.
00:48:52.000A lot of people I know would like to use, you know, submachine guns or whatever in the game.
00:48:57.000But then you're, you're, it's pray and praying.
00:48:59.000You're like, just hoping your, your accuracy will be high enough.
00:49:02.000Whereas the way I'd play is just like, one, one, one, you know?
00:49:05.000Yeah, you look at a game like Call of Duty and your character can take an M4 concept and hold it on a decent circle for just the whole magazine.
00:49:16.000That's not really... I mean, you can do that.
00:49:18.000You technically can, but it's just not... Not only is it not efficient, but it's sort of like...
00:49:25.000Is it really video games that are driving the culture?
00:49:28.000Which is why I cannot wait until one of these big companies comes out and they make a game where you're using the guns like people do in the military.
00:49:37.000So you're running around with your M4 and it's on single shot.
00:49:39.000Because that's exactly how you're gonna do it.
00:49:50.000Man, I remember growing up and I'm watching a movie and it was my dad sitting there and my dad always would always, you know, comment and say things and predict things.
00:49:59.000And then there's, I can't remember what movie it was.
00:50:35.000But now people will watch movies and they will legitimately think that's how it works.
00:50:40.000And then they ban things based on the movies!
00:50:42.000Yeah, what is that Gelman amnesia effect where you're reading the news, you read an article that you are an expert in, and you realize it's all bunk, you turn the page, and then you're like, huh?
00:51:52.000I don't know how you solve for that problem because you're allowed to have TV shows, but people believe TV and movies are real too much.
00:51:59.000Yeah, I would never want to have like an enforcement of accuracy committee, right?
00:52:04.000I mean, there's a kind of a trope that goes about in the military that some people have lost their jobs because they went to advise entertainment and they were too accurate.
00:52:16.000What's the legitimate reason for making suppressors NFA items?
00:52:20.000For those that aren't familiar, it's like you gotta file a tax, it takes like nine months, you get your fingerprints, it's very difficult to buy.
00:52:25.000Yeah, there is a burden entry for owning a suppressor, which is an item that makes it safer to shoot the firearm.
00:53:20.000The recoil was better, and it wasn't as loud.
00:53:23.000But it's like, people could hear it probably a mile away.
00:53:26.000If you know what it sounds like, yeah, you actually know what it sounds like.
00:53:29.000But you were talking about events with people in the riots, where someone is launching fireworks, okay, but someone is shooting a gun, and they think it's fireworks.
00:53:38.000Well, so in these riots, it's almost never fireworks.
00:53:43.000Sometimes people will throw fireworks, but in my experience, it's more often that someone's shooting a gun, and then you get really dumb journalists being like, it sounds like fireworks.
00:53:52.000There was a tactic in Minneapolis where activists were firing, whatever they were, were legitimately firing mortar fireworks at buildings and people.
00:54:00.000But those are very different booms, right?
00:55:56.000I mean, I don't want to be mean at the restaurant They were trying and I respect them for working like two people on staff for this restaurant Because nobody wants to work now gas prices are super high.
00:56:07.000So we're sitting there We thought I was gonna be 45 minutes, you know, you go in you order you get food you leave and then at like two hours I'm like, okay, we're gonna get up and go and then the food finally comes out and I was like, here's what happens.
00:56:16.000I The prices are skyrocketing, and people are getting unemployment benefits.
00:56:22.000They're getting $16 an hour not to work.
00:56:24.000Now Joe Biden's saying he's gonna do the $300 tax credit for, you know, up for every kid.
00:56:28.000So now families can get like three grand for their kids.
00:56:31.000So now you got people who just don't wanna work.
00:56:33.000So now you got one line cook at your restaurant.
00:56:36.000Now you got all these people come in, and he's going crazy trying to fill these orders, and eventually he just stops and says, for $15 an hour, no way, I'm done.
00:56:49.000This kind of shortage is something that my parents have been concerned about for the entire time I've known them.
00:56:54.000This is something that my grandparents were concerned about.
00:56:57.000My grandparents were stockpiling in the mountains in New Mexico to make sure that they were safe if and when there was, for example, a trucker strike.
00:57:03.000They were very concerned about, like, the Cuban Missile Crisis.
00:57:27.000There's a difference between, you know, a prepper and what we would do, for instance.
00:57:32.000Right, but there is like this, there's this stigma to just being prepared and people call it reactionary, which I was telling you earlier that I don't understand.
00:57:41.000How can you be reactionary when something hasn't happened yet?
00:57:48.000When did self-sufficiency become a pejorative?
00:57:52.000When the rich people want to make sure they can get gas and supplies before you, and then you'll get news outlets saying, we shouldn't report on this because then people will panic.
00:58:02.000And then what they do is they whisper to their family, make sure you go buy gas right now.
00:58:06.000Yeah, like, would that be the same thing as saying, you don't need to wear a mask, you don't need to go out and buy one, so we can stockpile a bunch of them, and now we're gonna make it necessary?
00:58:17.000So we're gonna make sure it hits our warehouse, so that we can charge you for it, not them.
00:58:43.000And meanwhile, these journalists are whispering, these security people are whispering, telling their friends and their family to go stock up while you still can.
00:58:50.000Go buy your toilet paper before it's too late.
00:59:50.000So now they can't just restart the economy.
00:59:52.000The problem is, Biden is also just printing money and dishing it out to everybody, firing the money guns, so people don't need to go back to work.
00:59:59.000If you don't make stuff, there's no stuff.
01:00:01.000So now these businesses are struggling to get the stuff they need to make new stuff, and then people can't buy it.
01:00:22.000Everybody's going to be fighting over these materials.
01:00:24.000And one of the things that we're seeing, according to Bloomberg, is that a lot of businesses are buying as much raw material as possible, and then all of a sudden everything's sold out.
01:02:26.000Remember when the Boy Scouts were all about like, I don't know, just being a well-rounded person and learning how to be responsible and now it's just weird cult diversity.
01:02:46.000It was if I'm not mistaken, it was a it was a war veteran, I think from World War One.
01:02:52.000I'm pretty sure it was a World War One veteran who basically came back to the United States and wanted to provide a program for young men, young boys to become better people through individual challenges.
01:03:04.000So like it's the whole idea of the merit badges is so that the kids can get some sort of the young boys can learn some sort of concept of forward thinking and planning.
01:03:38.000I don't know if it was what they called it, but they would, like, come to your house and arrest you, and there's a picture of cops, like, walking by the house, and people inside hiding their flour.
01:03:45.000Because as the food starts to disappear, they're gonna tell you, don't hoard.
01:03:48.000I mean, does anybody else want to laugh at that a command economy, which is always supposed to eliminate scarcity, automatically immediately produces scarcity?
01:04:31.000Could you imagine, you know, an able-bodied man of good moral standing and principle living in an urban center and then freaking out because of rides and being like, I don't want to live here, and then leaving?
01:04:41.000Or somebody who maybe lives in an area like that planning on leaving?
01:05:04.000And the community votes for self-immolation.
01:05:06.000And I don't want to be a part of that.
01:05:07.000Yeah, I'm not interested in saving the city.
01:05:12.000When you look at the Second Amendment, there's two ways that it's often interpreted from the positive side.
01:05:19.000So we're going to make the assumption that those who are arguing for gun control either disdain or don't care about the Second Amendment.
01:05:27.000But now you have the Second Amendment, people who defend it on sort of tribalism, it's a little bit more political, and then you have people who understand the principle of it.
01:05:34.000So for me, you know, you think about it simply, the fact that people over 200 years ago wrote on a piece of paper the Second Amendment, you know, the right to write no and bear arms, whatever, the Second Amendment, the fact that they put that on paper Doesn't really mean anything for me.
01:05:49.000What really means, because that paper is not going to defend me against a malicious actor.
01:05:53.000The fact is that that paper is there to inform the American people that it's like, it is your God-given right.
01:05:58.000It is a human right, not a civil right, to own a firearm.
01:06:09.000The right to self-defense is something that you have because you're a human.
01:06:15.000Whether or not you believe it's because of Imago Dei and you're coming from the Christian heritage, or you think about human equality, if you believe in human equality at all, you would never in any way argue for one group of people to go to another group of people and disarm them, because now they're not equal.
01:06:30.000So since when does Second Amendment not include swords?
01:06:35.000I mean, I know there are places where you can't own swords, but... Yeah.
01:06:38.000It's interesting when you look at some states where they ban basically every, every version of a weapon in any capacity except for guns, because Second Amendment.
01:06:45.000And I'm like, it says to keep and bear arms.
01:06:47.000Yeah, you can't, like, there's places where you can't own a, you cannot carry brass knuckles, but you can carry a six-shooter.
01:07:08.000I think one of the biggest mistakes that has been made over the past, you know, 100 plus years or whatever, is that even 2A advocates have fallen into the trap of arguing only on behalf of guns.
01:07:17.000As if the Founding Fathers literally only had muzzle-loading muskets and nothing else.
01:07:23.000I'm pretty sure that keeping their arms they carried knives with them and they
01:07:27.000probably didn't consider someone come and take away now you get states that are like your knives are gone your
01:07:31.000batons are gone you can't carry a baseball bat unless you also a baseball
01:07:34.000and can prove your own a baseball game
01:07:37.000you can't carry a sock full of quarters can't do that but a gun okay second amendment
01:07:43.000possession is considered intent Of what?
01:08:08.000They are saying that we will do violence against you if you own something that can do violence.
01:08:12.000So, in that capacity, I'm just saying, it's great that they built this shield in written word that protected us for a good couple hundred years.
01:08:24.000We'd be worse off without the Constitution, no doubt.
01:08:27.000But at this point, imagine... Look at it this way.
01:08:29.000There is a great giant dragon beast that is government authoritarianism.
01:08:34.000And it's been breathing fire on the noble hero who's holding up the Constitution as a shield.
01:08:40.000And eventually that shield starts burning through, and... Long enough period of time of sustained government authoritarianism, and we start losing our rights.
01:08:49.000Interestingly, we have this Supreme Court case.
01:08:52.000So, SCOTUS rules police cannot search homes without warrants in the name of community caretaking.
01:09:04.000Even the liberal justices were like, a cop can't go into your house without a warrant and take all your guns because they think you're ill or something.
01:10:05.000I mean, it's because they are one in the same.
01:10:08.000And this is how you think about tyranny.
01:10:09.000So we often think, or the thing is oftentimes said something like, Well, if you disarm a population, then you will have genocide, or then you'll have some sort of massive tragedy, horrible authoritarian argument.
01:10:27.000And so we use it as this argument of like, the one begets the other.
01:10:30.000I don't think that's the right way to think about it.
01:10:34.000I don't think it's the right way to think about it because it creates an opportunity for someone to say, we won't do it this time.
01:10:43.000Okay, we'll take away your guns, but we won't genocide you this time.
01:10:48.000You're essentially holding your entirety of your existence and your hope on the fact that they won't do something.
01:10:56.000Whereas, I think the better way to think about it is, the act of taking the firearms away from somebody is wrong in the exact same way as it is to target a population in that way.
01:11:06.000Well, one doesn't beget the other, they fall in the same vein.
01:11:10.000You need to understand that if the Earth is to join the Galactic Federation, we can't have a bunch of crazies with guns who are going to shoot the aliens when they show up, so they gotta disarm us for the sake of the Galactic Federation, right?
01:11:28.000What it is, it's a bunch of elites who would lie to the general public to protect themselves and their family.
01:11:34.000They would tell you there's no gas shortage so they can go buy gas before you can.
01:11:37.000They would tell you that everything's fine.
01:11:38.000There's tons of toilet paper so they can buy it up before you can.
01:11:40.000They would buy a bunch of stock while serving in Congress and then pass regulations on these companies which benefit their stock decisions, their trading decisions.
01:11:51.000And they would come out and say, you can't own weapons because safety.
01:11:55.000Now, for me, I've got five armed guards around me at all times, paid for by your tax dollars.
01:12:02.000The exact same people that were arguing to defund the police spent millions of dollars making sure they had very armed people protecting their house.
01:12:09.000And you can't look at that and say, oh, that's funny.
01:12:13.000You should look at that and go, like, appalled by that.
01:12:20.000I mean, the people who watch a show like this, Probably most conservatives.
01:12:24.000We are appalled by that, but there is a large faction in this country of extremely ignorant tribal individuals who have no idea what's going on.
01:12:48.000No, back during the election, all of these people I knew who cared nothing for politics never did, all of a sudden were like, Oh, Biden, we had to vote for Biden.
01:13:59.000So if you make it, you know, one of the arguments that comes up is something like, we don't want people who are mentally, thankfully for the Supreme Court case that you were talking about, we don't want, we want to make sure at least to some extent people of certain mental issues don't own firearms, right?
01:14:23.000It is an interesting point, because I've brought up several times, the Second Amendment doesn't say the right to keep and bear arms should not be infringed unless you're mentally ill.
01:14:58.000So if, if, if, you know, I own a bunch of guns and then there's a claim filed against my mental health and we go and there's a legal process and then after determining I'm unwell, then they come and take everything.
01:15:31.000Anyone that's got like a medical marijuana card for stress or any kind of psychological issue could then be deemed like unwell and unfit to hold a gun.
01:15:55.000Straight up, if you smoke pot, you can't buy a gun.
01:15:56.000So technically speaking, if you are committing a very big crime, if you are currently consuming marijuana, not like smoking it at the gun shop.
01:16:06.000I mean, that's... But not technically, literally.
01:16:08.000The federal government literally says you are committing a crime if you consume these things.
01:18:18.000A lot of the negativity that comes from survivalist groups or preppers is they're just about buying stuff.
01:18:23.000It's the classic, you know, heavily unfit person with a bunch of stuff is not going to survive the apocalypse, right?
01:18:31.000And then the last one we have is carnivore, which is all about high-end field-to-table meat consumption.
01:18:39.000I loathe to think about what's going to happen to these cities in the event that there's an actual shutdown.
01:18:45.000The water shuts off, people are going to start dying of dehydration, they'll be drinking blood in a day.
01:18:50.000Yeah, historically speaking you'll have a very short period of very, very ugly violence and then you'll have a very long period of probable starvation.
01:18:58.000People fleeing like crazy in random directions.
01:19:01.000Well, and the solution is actually in itself.
01:19:04.000And I think the solution to this one is not just buying a bunch of stuff, it's actually community.
01:19:08.000I mean, the term community is thrown around a lot publicly right now, but again, the antidote to this classic idea of a guy in a basement with a bunch of bullets and a bunch of food is that he's going to die alone.
01:19:29.000So survival, real survival, when we're talking about things like this, is actually 100% based on community.
01:19:37.000Social interaction with people who you actually trust, that you can have them to protect you from making mistakes that you would otherwise not know.
01:19:57.000We're not waiting for the government to come and save us.
01:20:00.000It's actually quite remarkable how people in cities mostly, but basically everybody is extremely detached from the basic requirements of survival.
01:20:09.000Yeah, I mean, Maslov's Hierarchy of Needs.
01:20:46.000But I still want to return to the idea, like, self-sufficiency is a good thing, right?
01:20:52.000So it's not, you know, when you have a neighborhood, like, say, you know, you live in a condo and you know your neighbors, It's not a bad thing to know your neighbors and being like, oh, I know such and such is a diabetic and I can help take care of them this way.
01:21:07.000It doesn't mean you're kicking down their doors and saying, here, take the insulin.
01:21:11.000Right, but people don't realize how brutal it'll get if there's actual power outages or rolling blackouts even, let alone if the water shuts off or the electricity goes out for an extended period of time.
01:21:24.000People who are diabetic, you gotta refrigerate that insulin.
01:21:26.000That's a huge problem for just storms going out.
01:21:28.000And they gotta have generators, usually, to make sure the fridges keep running.
01:21:30.000But there's a lot of other things, too.
01:25:11.000I mean, are we just, we're talking about all this stuff, we're seeing the news, we're seeing gas prices, and we're like, oh, it's the end, but maybe nothing happens.
01:25:16.000I got this Samantha Bee on the brain thing.
01:25:18.000I watched some Samantha Bee the other day just to delve into the depths of it.
01:26:29.000People like to say the Swiss did it right, but we're talking about very different countries.
01:26:34.000Swiss, I mean, there is a sense of mandatory firearms ownership and mandatory kind of, it's not exactly that, but the Swiss are oftentimes used as an example because everyone owns guns.
01:26:44.000Functionally, everyone owns guns, but Switzerland also stays out of, you know, a mountainous country.
01:26:50.000Yeah, but you're also looking at like you can make another argument something like Japan has no firearms and they have very little firearms violence They're also an ethnic like a very they have their death no state ethno state, right?
01:27:02.000Yeah, like they don't allow immigrants.
01:29:07.000Mandatory firearms ownership would be an interesting example.
01:29:10.000You go in and you have like a little book explaining like basic gun operations and you do like a one through ten check check check and the guy reviews it and he's like alright you know here's your gun and you can choose between the handgun we have over here and fill out the forms and then they hand it to you and you leave and you walk out.
01:30:43.000The cars will actually stop to avoid hitting you.
01:30:47.000So if you were at the Department of Gun Services and someone walked out with a weapon and they were like, let's say there was like a range.
01:30:54.000If you walk onto- If you- If- This is true.
01:30:56.000If you go- If you're on a gun range, and you step onto the range, they scream and shut everything down.
01:31:24.000You just gotta get people comfortable with it one day at a time.
01:31:27.000I've crossed Archer Avenue on the south side of Chicago, and you got, you know, Big trucks and tractor-trailers or whatever and it's like you just run across the street.
01:31:36.000I'm not like, oh no, the guy's gonna hit me.
01:31:38.000Dude, people in my neighborhood, because we had, uh, we have the freight trains, where you're always getting stuck by trains by midway, it's annoying.
01:31:46.000The kids in my neighborhood would run alongside the train and jump on it.
01:31:49.000Could you imagine if there was a guy and he had like a, he was like riding around on a car with a Gatling gun and he ran and jumped on his car and were like holding his gun?
01:32:51.000My friends, if you have not done this, smash that like button.
01:32:55.000And take the URL from this YouTube video and just share it across all social media to help out the show.
01:33:00.000And go to TimCast.com, become a member, because we will have a bonus segment coming up later today at the website, which you definitely do not want to miss.
01:34:24.000In response to our conversation earlier about what we're educated by, everything I know about the island of Iceland is from the TV show Vikings.
01:34:38.000Kaywee Ross says, Hey Tim, I heard they were putting a 40% tax in taxes on Bitcoin for coins sold and wondered if anyone knew anything about this.
01:34:45.000Joe Biden has proposed a capital gains tax of like 39.7%.
01:34:48.000So yes, that would apply to your Bitcoin.
01:34:58.000I tried ordering an outside unit today.
01:34:59.000The warehouse said they had zero and won't have any for 60 days.
01:35:03.000I doubt they will have any in 60 days either.
01:35:06.000The one free man says low gun regulations equals herd immunity for violent crime.
01:35:11.000You don't have to carry, but you benefit from those around you being armed the same way an unvaccinated person would benefit from those around them being vaccinated.
01:35:21.000Plasma says, I bought into Bitcoin at $32K and nearly went net loss, but I am now taking advantage of Elon Musk's tweets and buying more getting ready for the halving in two years when Bitcoin will go to the moon and back.
01:35:35.000Yeah, so the halving will result in like Bitcoin doubling or more.
01:35:41.000Okay, I can't read the name here, but this guy says, it's a good thing Crowder has made plenty of political connections over the years.
01:36:22.000Colloquially, but the m3 is so that I can distinguish it the m16 from the n4 So a lot of companies use these names these number these letter combinations to achieve that ends It's all shorthand and I mean there are there's other ways that you can do it So you like you could look at like a Ruger Blackhawk.
01:41:29.000The codification of law has a purpose, and it's so that we have rules by which we understand what we do and don't do.
01:41:38.000The greatest tragedy in the American concept of law is that we have turned law into a way to make citizens into servants instead of realizing that the purpose of law is to limit the government.
01:41:51.000It is to limit one group of citizens from violating the rights of another group of citizens.
01:41:58.000The purpose of law is so that the people can, the one group of people, human beings with the same rights as you, cannot use the power of the state to violate your rights.
01:42:26.000Alright, Andrew Holker says I fled the Twin Cities for Duluth last summer.
01:42:30.000The number of friends I have at U of M who have been mugged at gun knife point just walking through Dinkytown or riding the light rail is truly insane.
01:43:28.000And whether they're turning away from it because of political means, whether it's Marxism, communism, socialism, whatever, or because they just don't trust the government, they're moving away.
01:43:37.000On top of that, there is ways that we are making victories.
01:44:06.000If you look at gun sales throughout history in the United States, it's kind of a steady climb with little spikes that kind of level out, but it never really goes up and then down.
01:44:15.000It goes up and then down a little bit.
01:44:18.000Gun sales is a really good performing stock in the United States.
01:44:22.000But you look over the last year, it jumped and plateaued high.
01:44:26.000Yeah, you look at the lines in these big cities.
01:44:29.000Liberals lining up outside of gun shops.
01:44:32.000There was a funny video where this guy at a gun shop, he made a video where he was like, stop coming to my store expecting to buy a gun for the first time.
01:44:43.000These liberals keep coming in and they keep saying, can I pay more to get it now?
01:45:49.000Bullpup rifle, this is the muzzle, this is the buttstock, right?
01:45:52.000If my hand is in front of the magazine, the trigger is in front of the magazine, so it goes barrel, trigger, magazine, which allows me to get a longer barrel and a shorter package.
01:48:04.000I got kicked off a job in the authoritarian state of Massachusetts for not wearing a mask outside laving pavers on blacktop in 80 degree weather with no one near me.
01:49:15.000I'd have to make a gluten-free recipe maybe with almond flour, but I've noticed the wheat flour really handles the yeast and the sugar in a special way.
01:49:23.000I mix them together sometimes, do like a light gluten with like an almond flour.
01:49:26.000If it's a GF bread recipe, I haven't done a gluten-free one in a while.
01:49:40.000You know, we did have a conversation about, like, making membership name something, and I was like, there's gonna come a point where we have many more shows, and people will just be like, what is that?
01:49:50.000Imagine going to, like, Disney Plus, and it's called, like, the Mickey Face.
01:52:03.000Dane Schell says the left is doing what libertarians couldn't, and that's break down the system enough for a new generation to have a clean slate.
01:52:10.000The Great Reset, but doing it with bad fuel.
01:52:15.000I mean, to a certain degree, but they're like kneecapping the police and then replacing them with woke police, so it's not gonna get better, it's just getting worse.
01:52:50.000Nicholas Nasty says the purpose of the Second Amendment is to guarantee that the people have any necessary implement to overthrow a tyrannical government, zero limitations.
01:54:24.000Second one, looking at critical race theory in the military, if you believe that you have the moral integrity to resist the push of critical race theory, yes, but that has to be a very serious and personal question.
01:54:40.000If you think that you're going... Does that answer the question?
01:55:00.000We vets and country boys will be the ones to survive when the energy hits the fan.
01:55:05.000Dude, you guys are constantly hyping Ian's bread, and I'm yearning for a road trip, and I'm not even a big bread eater.
01:55:12.000So we are currently building out, as part of the new website, an auction feature, which is going to allow us to do a two-tiered Ticket system for the house.
01:55:22.000So we want to do Friday night events every Friday.
01:55:25.00010 tickets first come first serve and then probably 10 maybe more tickets that are top auction based.
01:55:31.000This way you have the people who are like spamming the refresh button because we only have certain capacity.
01:55:36.000It's not like we have that much space.
01:55:38.000So we have to figure out a way to make it fair, and I'm like, two-tier system works, because then you have people who can afford to mosey on over, not really worry about time, and make their bid, and spend more to come, but then people who probably can't afford to can just try and use merit, just get to that ticket first.
01:57:24.000Think most people learn that these business business people think like, well, I know how to make a business work.
01:57:29.000They get into government and then all of a sudden everything sludges up.
01:57:32.000They don't realize that once you get government involved, it's just like I could theoretically be like, come on down and then we'd be shut down in two seconds.
01:59:33.000Exactly, like you walk up, and you have your handgun, and you have your AR, and they do like some basic range or whatever, some low range, 7 yards and what, maybe like 21 for the rifle.
01:59:42.000And then they test you, and if you are good enough, they're like, you passed, have a nice day.
01:59:46.000So you'll have to load the gun, they'll watch you load it, just make sure you know how.
01:59:50.000You'll have to turn the safety off, make sure you know how, and then you'll have to hit the target to make sure you know how.
01:59:56.000They already make you do that in Minnesota for concealed carry, or permit to carry.
01:59:59.000So you go to the DGS and instead of a driving test, you fill out a little form.
02:00:03.000So there'd be like immediate failures, like a rolling stop.
02:00:05.000then you do a function test, fire, and then...
02:00:09.000So there'd be like immediate failures, like a rolling stop.
02:00:12.000If you don't stop completely at a stop sign, that's an automatic failure.
02:00:14.000Yeah, but you can take the test again.
02:01:09.000Justin Heasley says, Tim and Forrest, why is the requirement of a firearm training class not necessarily supported by pro 2A personalities?
02:01:51.000Now, to pass the course, we're going to give you a 9mm, we're going to give you a Glock, and you've got to hit the center of the target at 100 yards.
02:02:02.000So it's like, okay, well if you can't do it, you shouldn't have a gun.
02:02:06.000Yeah, it can be used as a prohibition, right?
02:02:09.000So a common thing that's used in a kind of a trendy conversation that people say right now is like, oh, well, the history of gun control is rooted in racism.
02:02:22.000I get the point, but I think it's a bad argument because the origins of the American version of gun control was originally intended to target certain ethnic minorities.
02:02:33.000The problem wasn't only that it was targeting ethnic minorities, but it actually was also disarming a population.
02:03:23.000Hotdog 400 says, Tim, you bring up a good point.
02:03:26.000Get rid of police, bring back local militia.
02:03:29.000I'm pretty sure the left would agree with that because, well, they probably would because they're lying, but one of the arguments is that community policing.
02:03:35.000You have cops from outside towns and areas coming in and enforcing the law and not caring about the community.
02:04:17.000They came over and sat down one by one and then just chilled and farmed.
02:04:22.000I've, I've, I've watched, uh, when I, when I was a kid, we had a dog and our dog actually called the Guinea hens from the neighbor's farm into our property and then ate them.
