Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Daily Caller SUES Democrat Mayor For Anti White Racism w-Lauren Chen

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:16.000 you the Daily Caller has filed a lawsuit because Lori Lightfoot,

00:00:39.000 Democrat mayor of Chicago was banning white people from doing interviews and

00:00:43.000 And while maybe not the biggest story of the day, because, you know, Joe Biden is going to be printing $6 trillion, or he's proposing a $6 trillion spending budget, which will shatter records not seen since World War II, apparently.

00:00:55.000 This is fighting back.

00:00:56.000 This is organizations saying, we're not going to stand up.

00:00:59.000 We're not going to stand and just take this racism and we're going to push back.

00:01:03.000 So I think it's something really important that we should talk about.

00:01:05.000 And it's the direct ramification of this just fringe ideology that wants to create racial segregation.

00:01:11.000 But we do have a lot to talk about in terms of, as we always do, Democrat policies.

00:01:15.000 Because we're learning from many of these Republican governors.

00:01:18.000 Their economies are going pretty well.

00:01:20.000 I mean, in South Dakota, for instance, Chrissy Noem's bragging about how their economy's actually improved.

00:01:24.000 They never had a lockdown.

00:01:25.000 Then you look at the Democrat cities, and it's really, really bad.

00:01:29.000 There's stories coming out talking about the homeless crisis.

00:01:32.000 They're calling it a constant state of emergency.

00:01:35.000 California, Venice, it is just a very serious homeless problem.

00:01:38.000 New York's seeing the exact same thing.

00:01:40.000 It didn't work.

00:01:41.000 Whatever it is they did, didn't work.

00:01:42.000 And clearly in New York, Cuomo killed all those people.

00:01:45.000 So we know, yeah, it didn't work.

00:01:46.000 And once again, Republicans are gloating because things are going well for them.

00:01:50.000 And now we're learning that many people are fleeing Democrat cities, going to Republican areas.

00:01:54.000 So there's a lot we're going to have to go through.

00:01:55.000 Gas prices skyrocketing.

00:01:57.000 People don't want jobs.

00:01:59.000 But we'll start with fighting back and pushing back on the woke racist cult stuff.

00:02:03.000 And joining us today is Lauren Chen.

00:02:06.000 Hello.

00:02:07.000 Thank you so much for having me again.

00:02:07.000 Hello.

00:02:08.000 It's good to be back.

00:02:09.000 Do you want to just give a quick introduction?

00:02:11.000 Sure.

00:02:12.000 So I am Lauren Chen, the artist formerly known as Roaming Millennial.

00:02:16.000 If you've been following me for a while online, and I make videos on the internet complaining about a variety of different things, culture, politics, sometimes movies.

00:02:24.000 We, we, we, we, we, it's a genre of complaining on the internet.

00:02:24.000 Yeah.

00:02:27.000 Exactly.

00:02:28.000 Yeah.

00:02:28.000 Commentary is what I like to think of us as.

00:02:31.000 Yeah.

00:02:31.000 Ian.

00:02:32.000 Oh, hi, Tim.

00:02:33.000 Ian complains on the internet.

00:02:34.000 Thank you for having me.

00:02:34.000 Hello, Lauren.

00:02:35.000 Yes, Ian Crossland here at iancrossland.net.

00:03:39.000 I think that's really important.

00:03:40.000 And I bought a bunch of keto cereal and keto cookies.

00:03:43.000 It's all really, really good.

00:05:21.000 And when you become a member, You're helping us build and do more, and we're gonna have to take over.

00:05:26.000 We're gonna have to build something bigger than all of these mainstream media networks.

00:05:30.000 As the ratings are in the gutter on TV, they actually are doing really, really well on YouTube, and we need to combat that.

00:05:36.000 So there's a couple other things you can do.

00:05:37.000 First, let me just tell you, and you guys are gonna be sad about this.

00:05:40.000 Yes, CNN gets hundreds of millions of views per month.

00:05:44.000 We get a tenth of that.

00:05:45.000 Even Stephen Crowder, one of the biggest conservative channels, CNN gets five times his traffic.

00:05:52.000 You know what that means?

00:05:53.000 That means you guys need to share this kind of content.

00:05:55.000 You need to take these videos, if you like it, if you believe in it, if you're listening on the podcast, word of mouth, because if every single person who watched shared this podcast, we would be bigger than CNN overnight.

00:06:07.000 So if you want to support us, you can smash the like button, subscribe, and if you're listening on iTunes or Spotify, leave us a good review.

00:06:13.000 Let's jump into this first story.

00:06:15.000 You know, it's a tough call.

00:06:16.000 How in the weeds is this?

00:06:19.000 Daily Caller sues Chicago mayor for limiting interviews to people of color.

00:06:23.000 Basically, Anti-white racism.

00:06:24.000 That's what Tulsi Gabbard said, one of the only politicians with the guts to actually call out this fringe insanity.

00:06:32.000 The Hill reports the Daily Caller News Foundation and one of its reporters is suing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

00:06:38.000 The lawsuit filed in the U.S.

00:06:39.000 District Court for the Northern District of Illinois accuses Lightfoot of ignoring an interview request from Thomas Ketanachi, a reporter for the publication, because he is not a journalist of color.

00:06:50.000 The suit, filed by conservative government watchdog group Judicial Watch, claims Lightfoot violated Kenenachi's First Amendment and equal protection rights.

00:06:58.000 The mayor's office has not yet filed a legal response to the suit, according to a federal court electronic records database.

00:07:04.000 Quote, The city has not had the opportunity to review the complaint and has not yet been served, the Chicago Department of Law said when asked about the suit.

00:07:12.000 Kenenachi referred questions about the suit to Judicial Watch.

00:07:15.000 Defendant is aware that Plaintiff Ketanachi is not a journalist of color, and Defendant has denied Plaintiff's interview request pursuant to her announcement that she will only grant interview requests from journalists of color, the suit states.

00:07:26.000 The lawsuit asks the court to force Lightfoot to give Ketanachi an interview, and also pay the Plaintiff's attorney's fees and litigation costs.

00:07:35.000 I think this is the kind of thing that people need to be doing more of.

00:07:35.000 I think it's a good thing.

00:07:39.000 So far, it seems like, now outside of The Daily Caller, James O'Keefe and Veritas are the only ones who are really filing these lawsuits, challenging the insanity, but they're too often getting away with this stuff.

00:07:49.000 Now, I also would like to point out the absurdity of, like, if he wins, what, he gets to interview Lori Lightfoot? 0.99

00:07:54.000 So she'll just be like, screw you. 1.00

00:07:56.000 I guess. 1.00

00:07:56.000 She'll pay for it. 1.00

00:07:57.000 Why didn't she just say, no, I don't want to talk to that guy?

00:08:00.000 Why did she have to make it about race in the first place? 0.99

00:08:02.000 Because she's racist? 1.00

00:08:04.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:08:04.000 Why did she keep it to herself?

00:08:06.000 She tried to make this whole PR move where she was like, I will only be interviewing... I don't even think it's just POC.

00:08:11.000 I think she said specifically black and brown or like black and Latinx or whatever.

00:08:16.000 I don't think she's including Asians.

00:08:18.000 Sorry, Tim.

00:08:19.000 We won't be interviewing Lori Lightfoot.

00:08:21.000 She was trying to make it into this, look how progressive thing I am.

00:08:23.000 So that's why she didn't just say no.

00:08:25.000 It's because it was part of a, she was trying to score woke points and now she's being sued. 0.59

00:08:29.000 So you get what you deserve.

00:08:31.000 But this is this, this kind of stuff we're seeing in government is, is just, you know, I want to talk about this because we recently saw that other lawsuit where the guy, he sued Biden because Biden's doing this relief program for COVID, but not to white people.

00:08:42.000 And then there's another program where farmers can get like a debt repayment, but not to white people. 0.62

00:08:42.000 Right. 0.62

00:08:48.000 So, you know what this is?

00:08:49.000 You know what this seems to me?

00:08:51.000 They've found a way to enact their critical race theory agenda without going through the normal channels because the normal channels would block them.

00:09:00.000 I mean, they're still doing it.

00:09:02.000 If they said, we want to take all of the wealth from white people and give it to non-white people and create a communist utopia and raise up the system, yeah, it's not gonna fly. 0.93

00:09:11.000 But if they say, oh, you know, we're gonna, we're gonna help everyone get their business up and running, but we're only giving money to, you know, certain races, then they're doing some kind of, it's insane, ideological manipulation of the system for some kind of social outcome.

00:09:26.000 I mean, and it's systemic racism.

00:09:28.000 I support anyone who's suing on the grounds that the government is telling you you aren't eligible for a certain benefit or whatever, specifically because of your race.

00:09:36.000 And this is exactly what the left likes to talk about all the time, right?

00:09:39.000 Systemically racist policies.

00:09:41.000 They talk about things like redlining and Jim Crow, which, yes, we're racist, but the answer to balance it out is not, you know, just throw in a little bit of anti-white racism to counteract the anti-black racism.

00:09:51.000 And so then it's everything's OK.

00:09:52.000 It's like, no, that's not the answer.

00:09:54.000 Communism.

00:09:56.000 It's increasingly, I mean, you know, a lot of people have mentioned, like, cultural Marxism and stuff.

00:10:01.000 But, I mean, look at what's going on with the State Department.

00:10:03.000 They're putting up these flags, the embassies or whatever.

00:10:05.000 Yeah, BLM flags.

00:10:06.000 BLM flags, Pride flags.

00:10:07.000 I'm like, those flags don't represent the country.

00:10:10.000 It is, a cult ideology is absolutely ingrained in our government right now.

00:10:16.000 And I don't know how you get that out.

00:10:18.000 That's an ideological stink.

00:10:21.000 Lawsuits is good. 0.97

00:10:22.000 Filing a suit.

00:10:23.000 I don't think, you know, in the end, him getting an interview will really change anything, but pushing back against the racism is important.

00:10:29.000 Well, and I think half of the battle is really just awareness, because for the longest time, I would say at least the past four or five years, this kind of stuff has been brewing and most people didn't know about it, right?

00:10:37.000 normies, the everyday people who aren't really politically engaged.

00:10:40.000 And if we look at what's happening with all of these different states banning CRT in schools,

00:10:45.000 Lydia and I were talking about this earlier, the only reason why that's happening now versus

00:10:49.000 a couple years ago when it started is because now parents actually know about it because

00:10:53.000 they were doing Zoom classes from home with their kids and they were actually looking

00:10:56.000 over the material maybe for the first time.

00:10:59.000 So it's like with this Lori Lightfoot thing, the lawsuit is important because at least

00:11:02.000 now the people in Chicago will know like, hang on, my mayor thinks this is a good idea.

00:11:05.000 Like, what?

00:11:06.000 I don't think anyone's gonna care a whole lot.

00:11:08.000 I just think this could set precedent, there's some pushback.

00:11:11.000 But for the schools, I mean, think about what that means.

00:11:13.000 For years, for a generation, parents never paid attention.

00:11:18.000 You don't ask your kid, what did you learn in school today?

00:11:20.000 I remember when I came back from school when I was a little kid, it's like, what did you learn?

00:11:22.000 I was like, I learned about, when I was a little kid, my mom, she was very progressive for this generation.

00:11:28.000 I come back from school and she asked me what I learned, and I mentioned something about Christopher Columbus, you know, 1492, sailing the ocean blue.

00:11:34.000 He discovered America.

00:11:35.000 My mom was like, there were already people here.

00:11:38.000 And I was like, yeah.

00:11:39.000 It's like, yeah, the Native Americans. 0.54

00:11:40.000 I was like, yeah.

00:11:41.000 She's like, so they discovered America.

00:11:42.000 And I was like, oh.

00:11:43.000 Did she tell you about Leif Erikson?

00:11:45.000 That's right.

00:11:45.000 The Viking.

00:11:45.000 Yep.

00:11:46.000 That always blew my mind.

00:11:47.000 So it's like, I never understood why schools were always lying.

00:11:49.000 But here's, I guess I'm lucky, I have a parent who asks me what was going on in school, and then she can give me better information.

00:11:56.000 Today, parents don't care, they're not raising their kids.

00:11:59.000 And it's insidious.

00:12:00.000 Like, it's slid in.

00:12:02.000 To be honest, I don't know, because I haven't been to school in a while, but I would imagine that it's slid in to like, it's not what they're teaching, it's just part of like, The, the base of what's being taught, you know, like they'll put it in the book and they'll, I don't know.

00:12:15.000 I haven't been to school in a while, but I imagine that it's not like the overt lesson every time.

00:12:19.000 It's just kind of worse than that.

00:12:21.000 So I saw this one, uh, this one math problem.

00:12:24.000 So remember he used to get the, like, you know, train leaves New York traveling at 65 miles an hour.

00:12:29.000 Another train leaves traveling at whatever miles per hour.

00:12:32.000 So I saw one where it was like, you know, Jamal is a black man who gets stopped by police 17 times in one week, and Rick is a white man who gets stopped by seven times.

00:12:40.000 What percentage of the police stops were, yeah, yeah, no, seriously, that's the kind of stuff.

00:12:45.000 So it's part of the ideology, it's to have it be every facet of their understanding of the world.

00:12:51.000 I think I'm hoping kids reject this kind of stuff.

00:12:55.000 You know, when I was a little kid, I rebelled.

00:12:57.000 Kids rebel.

00:12:58.000 And I hope hopefully the institutionalization of the cult actually makes younger people reject it.

00:13:03.000 But imagine how creepy it's going to be when, look, man, somebody somebody posted on Reddit.

00:13:09.000 It was like a meme where it's like, kid, I'm 10 years old.

00:13:12.000 And you're like, so what?

00:13:13.000 It's like I was born in 2011. 0.86

00:13:14.000 And you're like, gross. 0.89

00:13:16.000 Oh, man. 0.80

00:13:16.000 Wow. 0.80

00:13:17.000 Yeah, like you're talking to someone who was born in 2014 and people are like, what year is it?

00:13:21.000 Wow.

00:13:21.000 Time flies.

00:13:22.000 Yeah.

00:13:23.000 So in 20 years from today, you're going to have people in Congress who are raised on all of this stuff ingrained in their minds and their worldview will be absolute racism.

00:13:35.000 Well, I mean, that's why it's important, I think, that they're actually doing something to address it.

00:13:40.000 Banning it.

00:13:40.000 And I was just seeing there was this little Twitter skirmish between, you know, Michael Malice, who I'm a huge fan of, and I think Cathy Young.

00:13:47.000 There are people arguing that you don't really support free speech if you want to ban CRT from schools.

00:13:52.000 Was that Cathy Young saying that?

00:13:54.000 I think she was on the side of the person who didn't want it to be banned, right?

00:13:57.000 Who was saying, like, well, the right are just SJWs, too, because they're trying to ban this.

00:14:01.000 Isn't it funny how she always does that? 1.00

00:14:03.000 Yeah, I thought so a little bit.

00:14:04.000 I've interviewed her before and it was about something that I was on her side of but I don't see how you can compare not wanting to fund what is obviously an ideological like bent for young children with trying to cancel people or being an SJW.

00:14:21.000 When they used to complain about, and they still do, especially if you go on Reddit, religion in schools.

00:14:25.000 Right.

00:14:25.000 It's like, yes, get the ideology out of the education.

00:14:28.000 Now it's the left putting an ideology into education and we're still saying, no, you shouldn't do that.

00:14:35.000 But these people are acting like that's acceptable and that should be done.

00:14:37.000 And I don't think they see the difference.

00:14:37.000 Right.

00:14:39.000 It's like no one, like no one on the right now in mainstream is arguing that there should be, you know, Christian funded education mandatory in all schools.

00:14:48.000 Because I think we've, you know, America has accepted that they don't want to do that.

00:14:51.000 But when it comes to CRT and the left's ideology, for some reason, well, that should fall under free speech.

00:14:56.000 It's like, I know, like you were saying, if we're getting ideology out, it should be all ideologies.

00:15:00.000 Someone needs to start the church of critical theory.

00:15:03.000 That way it's, oh, it's a religion now! 0.99

00:15:05.000 Someone filed the paperwork, and now you can't have it in schools.

00:15:08.000 They don't even bother with trying to get it banned.

00:15:09.000 But a bunch of states are banning it, so I guess it's a good thing.

00:15:13.000 I don't know, I feel a bit nihilistic on it.

00:15:15.000 A bit pessimistic.

00:15:16.000 Like, oh, here we go, here we go again.

00:15:18.000 It's just gonna keep happening.

00:15:18.000 That's how I felt last night.

00:15:20.000 If you get to the kids, you brainwash the kids that you can, and then you don't even see the results for 20 years or 15 years.

00:15:26.000 That's the problem.

00:15:27.000 We don't realize the damage we're doing No, no, they do.

00:15:31.000 Yeah, they like it.

00:15:31.000 That's the plan.

00:15:32.000 Yeah, they don't think of it as damage.

00:15:34.000 Yeah, they think of it as victory, winning.

00:15:36.000 Isn't it amazing?

00:15:37.000 Remember when that Republican lady was like... I'm not going to quote her. 0.99

00:15:42.000 She said something about that guy from Germany and how she claimed that him going after the kids was a good tactic, but she said it in a very, very different way.

00:15:51.000 I won't repeat.

00:15:53.000 Yeah, she said it in a very crude way and like all of a sudden the media erupted like, how dare you say that about that man?

00:15:58.000 It's like, yeah, you shouldn't, you shouldn't, but she was talking about how the Nazis went after kids.

00:16:04.000 Indoctrinated kids.

00:16:04.000 Yeah.

00:16:05.000 The Hitler Youth. 0.65

00:16:06.000 Right.

00:16:06.000 And now it's really funny because I said it yesterday, I'll say it again.

00:16:10.000 When people always ask, like, how did it get to the point where people were standing in the streets doing the Nazi salute?

00:16:14.000 And I'm like, the people are marching around doing the Red Salute right now.

00:16:17.000 Like, you don't even need to ask the question.

00:16:18.000 Just look around you.

00:16:19.000 It's happening.

00:16:20.000 And you know what?

00:16:21.000 People always think, it can't happen here.

00:16:23.000 And then it does happen here.

00:16:24.000 It can happen anywhere.

00:16:26.000 But it's not gonna be overnight.

00:16:28.000 I don't know about that.

00:16:29.000 I used to think, you know, slippery slope takes time.

00:16:31.000 It's not gonna be overnight.

00:16:32.000 Look at what happened with COVID.

00:16:34.000 Look at how quickly it became the norm to actually call The police on your neighbors for having people over that took like less than a year My favorite thing was like how quickly the police started enforcing things that weren't the law It's like it's not there's no law saying you have you have to stay in your house and they're like, well the governor said so I'm like, I'm sorry Do you follow the Constitution and the law or just like what the governor tells you to do?

00:16:56.000 Yeah And all of these cops were just like with smiles on their faces, you know, beating and arresting people.

00:17:02.000 There's a video.

00:17:02.000 It's really amazing, man.

00:17:03.000 Reddit is awesome.

00:17:04.000 You ever go to Reddit?

00:17:05.000 I can't stand it.

00:17:06.000 I know.

00:17:07.000 It is.

00:17:07.000 That's why it's awesome.

00:17:08.000 It's like, it's like it's looking into like the mirror dimension.

00:17:11.000 It's like parallel paranoid reality.

00:17:13.000 There was a video where it's a woman having a breakdown over masks and she's just screaming like, I am done with this. 0.98

00:17:18.000 I am done being bullied.

00:17:19.000 The CDC data says, and then the cop grabs her and arrests her.

00:17:23.000 And the people are cheering, calling her a Karen.

00:17:24.000 And I'm like, She was citing CDC data and the cop arrested her.

00:17:29.000 Dude, the younger generation that's on these platforms, whether it's sock puppets manipulating them, it is becoming 1984 ultra cult authoritarian.

00:17:40.000 It's creepy.

00:17:41.000 It is creepy and I even with the mask thing we were talking about this earlier I mentioned online I see people in cities walking around by themselves wearing masks and they're not it's not like there's anyone near them and I asked why on social media people are doing that and I had all these people saying well it's to express my concern for others because I care So, A, I got a lot of people saying it's to express something, meaning that it is a virtue signal.

00:18:05.000 It's a social signal that you're showing that you care.

00:18:08.000 You saw David Hogg, right?

00:18:09.000 No.

00:18:10.000 He tweeted he didn't want people to think he was a conservative.

00:18:12.000 So he's wearing a mask because of that, yeah.

00:18:12.000 Oh my goodness.

00:18:14.000 That's what he said!

00:18:15.000 It's a social signaler now.

00:18:16.000 So it's either you're doing this just for woke virtue points or you're We've been so hyped into this fear, this hysteria by the media, that people actually think it's this deadly, that even if you're not sick, the other person isn't sick, you're outside, you're not near each other, you could still spread it?

00:18:31.000 What?

00:18:32.000 Well, this is where it gets... You know, we were gonna talk about a bunch of Democrat policy stuff, but let's just go here.

00:18:39.000 You guys ready?

00:18:42.000 From Slate. 0.98

00:18:43.000 My husband won't take his mask off, even for sex.

00:18:47.000 We're both vaccinated now, when will this stop?

00:18:50.000 That's horrifying.

00:18:51.000 So this is mask derangement syndrome, and I blame the media.

00:18:56.000 Freaking out.

00:18:57.000 So this guy apparently... Maybe it's a prank.

00:19:00.000 Maybe someone wrote a letter like, haha, I'm gonna send it in.

00:19:03.000 I don't know.

00:19:03.000 I'm convinced that real people exist like this.

00:19:06.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:19:07.000 I mean, have you seen the videos where people are screaming about masks?

00:19:10.000 Like, they lose their minds!

00:19:13.000 Just stay away from the people if they're not doing what they're supposed to.

00:19:16.000 If they're supposed to be wearing a mask in the store and they don't want to and they don't, Ignore them.

00:19:20.000 Stay away from them.

00:19:21.000 Don't go near them.

00:19:22.000 It's the weirdest thing, because if you were worried about getting sick, why would you go up to the person and start yelling at them?

00:19:26.000 You know what I mean?

00:19:27.000 So anyway, I'm not gonna read everything, but this lady is saying that, like, he won't take his mask off at all.

00:19:27.000 Yeah.

00:19:34.000 When he's eating, she says he pulls it up to expose his mouth, quickly pulls it back down between bites.

00:19:41.000 While he does not insist I do the same, I can tell it bothers him that I don't, especially because I have now started going maskless outside, per the CDC guidelines, and plan on restaurant dining inside soon for a girls' night out.

00:19:52.000 She says, even during lovemaking.

00:19:56.000 Is that what you call it?

00:19:57.000 Like, I don't know.

00:19:57.000 Yeah, that's what married people call it.

00:19:59.000 No, I'm saying like when you got a guy who's wearing a mask so he can't, you know.

00:20:02.000 No, you saw the naked gun when they had to use protection when they had sex.

00:20:06.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, the full body suit.

00:20:10.000 That was love.

00:20:10.000 Dude, these people have gone crazy.

00:20:12.000 And the thing is, there's no science behind it.

00:20:15.000 We always hear, trust the science.

00:20:16.000 And I think people forget that the mask was originally, if you're sick, to prevent the spread, right?

00:20:21.000 No, it wasn't.

00:20:22.000 Really?

00:20:22.000 Oh.

00:20:22.000 Because in Asia... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:20:24.000 You're correct.

00:20:24.000 I'm sorry.

00:20:25.000 Yeah, yes.

00:20:25.000 You're correct.

00:20:25.000 Because in Asia, that, like, for a long time, mask culture has been a thing.

00:20:28.000 But it was never just everybody all the time.

00:20:31.000 If you have a runny nose, you think you might be sick, you don't want to spread it, you put your mask on.

00:20:35.000 And then...

00:20:36.000 I was gonna say, at first, Fauci said, you don't need to be walking around with masks.

00:20:41.000 Maybe it protects a droplet.

00:20:44.000 That's how, you know, that's Fauci, right?

00:20:45.000 And then he flip-flopped.

00:20:47.000 And then everyone needs to wear masks all the time.

00:20:49.000 And it was really funny because conservatives in the beginning were the ones wearing masks.

00:20:52.000 Yes, yeah, I remember that.

00:20:54.000 There was one point I was in L.A.

00:20:55.000 and I had the N95 mask, and those are, it protects you from breathing things in, filters it, but then when you breathe out, it just breathes out.

00:21:03.000 That's right.

00:21:04.000 So it doesn't protect you from the droplets of Fauci.

00:21:07.000 It doesn't protect others.

00:21:08.000 Others.

00:21:08.000 But that was the whole point of masks.

00:21:10.000 But people didn't know and didn't care because they would just see me and they'd be like, oh, he's got a mask on.

00:21:14.000 Well, they then banned them.

00:21:16.000 And, like, neck gaiters and all that stuff.

00:21:18.000 But, man, is it... But it was like the psychology of it was more important than what they were actually doing.

00:21:23.000 That's what I noticed.

00:21:24.000 I just gotta say, you know, I remember when this first was going down, like when everything was starting, and I had a bunch of people on the right messaging me like, get masks now, you're gonna want to wear them.

00:21:34.000 And then this weird thing started to happen where it started to flip.

00:21:37.000 And I'm just like, yo, that's hardcore tribalism.

00:21:37.000 Reversal.

00:21:41.000 People were like, wear masks.

00:21:42.000 Then they were like, conservatives all of a sudden decided not to wear them.

00:21:45.000 I don't think it's tribalism.

00:21:47.000 I think it's just being contrary.

00:21:48.000 I think that's all there is to it, good or bad.

00:21:50.000 Right.

00:21:51.000 No, absolutely not.

00:21:52.000 You think it's tribal?

00:21:52.000 It's tribalism.

00:21:53.000 Yeah, the conservatives were anti-establishment and wanted to be contrarian.

00:21:58.000 So they decided, and all of a sudden they were going to defy the orders.

00:21:58.000 Yeah.

00:22:02.000 When Fauci was saying, don't, they were like, you're crazy!

00:22:04.000 And they went and bought masks.

00:22:06.000 And then once it switched, and all of a sudden like Trump didn't wear a mask, I guess, all of a sudden everyone's like, bah!

00:22:11.000 It's just the weirdest thing.

00:22:12.000 Well, I mean, I think it's interesting to see how this has unfolded with the evolving knowledge we've had about COVID.

00:22:18.000 Because I remember when stuff first started happening, I didn't go out because I was scared.

00:22:21.000 You know, my dad's immunocompromised and things like that.

00:22:24.000 And we were getting crazy footage out of Wuhan, like people like Collapsing in the streets.

00:22:28.000 It was insane.

00:22:30.000 But then what's weird is that as we found out more about how COVID spreads and about how lethal it was and things like that, um, you know, for a lot of people, I think that would have been reason to kind of ease up like, Oh, okay.

00:22:41.000 It's not as bad as we were thinking.

00:22:42.000 We didn't know, but now we actually have numbers in, but for a lot of people, it was the inverse.

00:22:46.000 They actually got more panicked and that's because the media was reporting on it more, even though all the data we were coming in was good news for us.

00:22:54.000 I think it's, it's widely tribalist.

00:22:56.000 I mean, we, we heard from David Hogg.

00:22:58.000 He was like, okay, the CDC says if you're vaccinated, you can take your mask off, but then people think I'm a conservative.

00:23:02.000 So that's it.

00:23:04.000 It's, it's virtue signaling because they're the, the, the culture war tribes are so distinct now.

00:23:10.000 There's, there's people who are terrified of being viewed as a member of the other tribe.

00:23:14.000 CNN really has a hand in causing the fear, too.

00:23:16.000 Veritas uncovered that guy explaining that we would put the COVID death numbers on the screen intentionally.

00:23:22.000 Gangbusters.

00:23:23.000 It got good reviews.

00:23:24.000 It got clicks.

00:23:24.000 It got good views.

00:23:25.000 It got good, what do you call it?

00:23:28.000 Yeah, it got good ratings.

00:23:28.000 Ratings.

00:23:30.000 To scare people.

00:23:31.000 He said it was gangbusters for the ratings.

00:23:32.000 Gangbusters.

00:23:33.000 Have them, have them, you know, if it bleeds, it bleeds.

00:23:36.000 The death count.

00:23:37.000 He was, these people are like the brave dude.

00:23:37.000 Yeah.

00:23:38.000 They were scaring people on purpose for ratings.

00:23:41.000 And now we're seeing the lash.

00:23:42.000 Does that work?

00:23:43.000 Does that work?

00:23:44.000 You like scaring people?

00:23:45.000 Well, it works.

00:23:45.000 I mean, it worked for them.

00:23:47.000 It gets ratings, but it actually destroys society in the process.

00:23:49.000 So like, is that working?

00:23:51.000 I don't know.

00:23:52.000 So, so, so I could say something like, oh, Viewers, there's vampires!

00:23:58.000 Oh no!

00:23:59.000 And there's zombies and werewolves, they're everywhere!

00:24:01.000 Yeah, you gotta be careful.

00:24:03.000 Do you know what Orson Welles... If they get scared now, because people are scared of vampires, right?

00:24:07.000 So our ratings are gonna go up now?

00:24:09.000 It's possible.

00:24:10.000 They'll share the video.

00:24:11.000 If you have connections to government and you're able to actually hype up government with your own reporters going up to, let's say, Saki and saying, like, what are you doing about the vampire menace?

00:24:20.000 I'll just do it.

00:24:21.000 I'm Dr. Fauci and vampires are really bad, so wear your neck gators because they'll bite your neck.

00:24:28.000 I think in the 20s War of the Worlds, Orson Welles, he had a radio show with his theater group and they did this radio show called War of the Worlds where they were like, I don't know.

00:24:36.000 I think that's an urban legend.

00:24:36.000 Wow.

00:24:37.000 And then people thought it was real.

00:24:39.000 So I've heard that some people were killing themselves because they were so they thought

00:24:42.000 it was the end of the world.

00:24:43.000 But people were like going out in the street and like looking up in the sky for the aliens

00:24:47.000 and urban legend.

00:24:48.000 It could be.

00:24:49.000 I don't know how to confirm it.

00:24:50.000 I'll tell you what is real.

00:24:51.000 Israel.

00:24:54.000 Well, yes.

00:24:55.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:24:56.000 Uh-oh, look at the chat.

00:25:00.000 A guy and a woman who are about to get... Are they married or whatever?

00:25:04.000 Yeah, they're married.

00:25:05.000 Yeah, husband and wife.

00:25:06.000 Yeah, married.

00:25:07.000 They're on the verge of divorce because he won't take his mask off during sex.

00:25:10.000 And so the lady actually tells her, like, the prudence or whatever responds with, like, take him to therapy.

00:25:17.000 Yes.

00:25:17.000 And then if he doesn't respond, like, leave him.

00:25:20.000 What are you supposed to do?

00:25:21.000 Yeah.

00:25:22.000 Dude, that's creepy.

00:25:24.000 No, but that's not anything to do with actual COVID.

00:25:26.000 COVID is not the problem here.

00:25:27.000 There's something underlying that.

00:25:29.000 And I think it's so true for all these other authoritarians who are crazy and obsessive about this.

00:25:33.000 It's not really about the pandemic, because the numbers don't support it.

00:25:36.000 I think it's a form of social control.

00:25:38.000 It's media derangement syndrome, but you know what I find fascinating is that it's a sorting algorithm, essentially, right?

00:25:44.000 So there are free-thinking, independent people who believe in personal responsibility.

00:25:49.000 These people have politics that vary from economic left to economic right.

00:25:53.000 So you'll get someone who's like, you know, a disaffected liberal, intellectual dark web, a moderate or a

00:25:57.000 conservative.

00:25:58.000 But then you have people who just don't know, don't care, don't want to know, and don't want to care.

00:26:02.000 These are the kind of stories that are shuffling them into two different groups.

00:26:07.000 One group is a bunch of mindless drones who believe insane things. 0.99

00:26:11.000 Trump is a Russian agent. 0.98

00:26:13.000 And then the other group are people who are challenging the establishment.

00:26:15.000 Now, don't get me wrong, you got fringe, you know, right-wing people, Q and whatever stuff.

00:26:20.000 But that's the minority.

00:26:22.000 That's not a large faction.

00:26:24.000 And the easiest way to understand it is, The prominent conservative voices, or the prominent anti-woke or anti-establishment voices, are not fringe.

00:26:34.000 Like, they're not crazy.

00:26:36.000 They're rational.

00:26:37.000 They're fairly moderate. 0.98

00:26:39.000 On the left, the prominent voices are fringe, wacko conspiracy theorists, like Rachel Maddow claiming that Russia was going to shut the fuck up. 0.96

00:26:47.000 What if Russia shuts the power off to Fargo in the middle of the winter? 0.96

00:26:49.000 What are we gonna do?

00:26:50.000 And, you know, Donald Trump, Russia, and then they had the guy, Jonathan Shane on MSNBC, who was like, Donald Trump may be a Russian asset going back as far as the 80s.

00:26:59.000 That's the mainstream institutionalized left.

00:27:03.000 What's the worst that you get in the Republican Party?

00:27:04.000 The Republican leadership, it's an oxymoron.

00:27:07.000 They're just like milk toast.

00:27:08.000 Mitch McConnell's like, well, I'll be a speed bump for the Democrats.

00:27:12.000 And then you get, what, Marjorie Taylor Greene?

00:27:14.000 That's the worst the Republicans can muster?

00:27:16.000 Essentially.

00:27:17.000 And what's frustrating is that it there's no long term memory or heck even short term term memory when it comes to defining what is and what is not a conspiracy.

00:27:26.000 There is.

00:27:26.000 I mean, we saw this with the vaccine COVID Wuhan lab thing.

00:27:31.000 You know, we have screenshots of the media just ripping apart Trump for saying that it could have come from a lab.

00:27:36.000 And now it's like, oh, yeah, maybe it did.

00:27:38.000 And it's it's funny how quickly that narrative changes.

00:27:41.000 And it's based on who's saying it.

00:27:43.000 Fauci.

00:27:43.000 Yeah.

00:27:44.000 Fauci comes out and he says he's not entirely convinced that COVID was naturally occurring.

00:27:51.000 And now all of a sudden, all of these stories are being just flipped.

00:27:55.000 Think about how insane that is, because I'll tell you.

00:27:58.000 Headlines change because they realize they were wrong.

00:28:01.000 That means every link that used the headline now has the incorrect headline.

00:28:05.000 That doesn't change.

00:28:06.000 You go on Reddit and look up the archives, look up the rankings, and you'll see a story that says Trump pushes debunked conspiracy.

00:28:12.000 You click it, and then it says, you know, update.

00:28:14.000 This is actually, you know, like actually maybe.

00:28:17.000 Yeah.

00:28:17.000 So you look at Wikipedia.

00:28:20.000 How many articles exist right now on Wikipedia that say things and use those stories as references that have now been changed?

00:28:27.000 See, the Wikipedia editors aren't going to go back to a bunch of these articles, some which may be obscure, and change all them.

00:28:32.000 So there you go.

00:28:33.000 The whole system is fried from this insanity.

00:28:38.000 And I don't know, I don't know what it is.

00:28:39.000 I can tell you that we used to have journalists that, I guess, competed with each other, but now they all walk in lockstep.

00:28:47.000 And it's all about social acceptance.

00:28:50.000 So you could find, or I'll put it this way, a good journalist is always researching conspiracy theories.

00:28:56.000 Because they hear a crazy story.

00:28:58.000 Did you hear about a government politician who, you know, was doing this and that?

00:29:01.000 And imagine, you know, you go back to the Watergate.

00:29:05.000 Imagine if someone came out and was like, Richard Nixon is doing this, that, and whatever.

00:29:10.000 Oh, that's a conspiracy theory. 1.00

00:29:13.000 Oh, you're nuts. 0.99

00:29:13.000 I'm not going to bother investigating that. 0.99

00:29:16.000 Could you imagine if that's how journalism was back then?

00:29:17.000 At least they did something about it.

00:29:19.000 Well, they don't really investigate things anymore.

00:29:21.000 I mean, one of the only investigative journalists is James O'Keefe.

00:29:24.000 Now it seems like journalists just go on Twitter, retweet each other, talk to each other, and there's no actual, like, first-hand probing or investigating unless it's, like, you know, doxing some grandma who voted for Trump in 2016 because of the Russian Facebook ads.

00:29:38.000 Going to her house.

00:29:38.000 Exactly.

00:29:39.000 And then James O'Keefe is the one who gets banned because, you know, he does something similar.

00:29:42.000 It's interesting about Veritas because I think I think James is very obviously conservative, but it's clear that the things he's active about are much more about honesty in journalism and in corporations, because he's not doing stories, for the most part, that are benefiting some kind of Republican agenda in terms of taxes or pro-life.

00:30:04.000 It's usually like, we caught someone lying.

00:30:06.000 We got Facebook's manipulating.

00:30:09.000 It does benefit conservatives, because conservatives are getting censored, for sure.

00:30:12.000 Maybe that's just where conservatives are at right now.

00:30:15.000 But you look at Vox and the New York Times, and they want a political agenda.

00:30:20.000 They want a hard outcome.

00:30:22.000 They specifically want what the Democrat wants, or they're just willing to say whatever they have to say to fit in with Democrats.

00:30:27.000 I think it has a lot to do with social media.

00:30:29.000 I think it has a lot to do with urban centers monopolizing journalism, basically.

00:30:35.000 So the people who work at the New York Times want to fit in.

00:30:37.000 So what do they do?

00:30:39.000 Sitting down at the bar and they're in the back of their Brooklyn, you know, speakeasy, whatever.

00:30:43.000 And then one person says something and the other person just says, whatever you say, tell me what to say and I'll say it because I want to fit in.

00:30:49.000 The fitting in thing is disturbing.

00:30:50.000 It does suck to not fit in.

00:30:53.000 Especially, I mean, ostracization could lead to death back in the ancient world if you're thrown out of the city.

00:30:58.000 And unemployment nowadays, right?

00:31:00.000 And being cancelled off the internet.

00:31:02.000 Man!

00:31:03.000 It's pretty rough, but still, you know, falling in line to a corrupt system seems way more dangerous than losing

00:31:10.000 access to it.

00:31:11.000 I would rather sleep in a bin, in a dumpster, than live on my knees for these people.

00:31:18.000 Yeah, you got to at some point.

00:31:20.000 Why?

00:31:21.000 You know, I did that with the entertainment industry in Hollywood. 0.55

00:31:23.000 It was so gross.

00:31:24.000 I could have been easily a millionaire.

00:31:26.000 I was making good money working commercials in L.A.

00:31:31.000 Think about the absolute insanity that is the policies being pushed by these Democratic politicians, how they keep making things worse, but people just are scared of not fitting in.

00:31:43.000 So it's absolute mob mentality, right?

00:31:47.000 You get the story of lynchings, you get the story of people marching with pitchforks and torches, they get wrapped up in the mob and they just do what the mob does, and this is no different.

00:31:57.000 Twitter, for instance, is a constant mob.

00:32:00.000 It is all mob mentality.

00:32:01.000 It's people piling on so people join in because they want to fit in and they're scared.

00:32:05.000 So what ends up happening?

00:32:06.000 New York City, right?

00:32:08.000 It's horrible.

00:32:10.000 Horrifying.

00:32:11.000 We have a story.

00:32:12.000 Homelessness, mental illness, crime is skyrocketing.

00:32:14.000 Locals and tourists believe the town has lost its essence.

00:32:17.000 Some of these photos I don't even know if I can show you because New York is bad.

00:32:21.000 Like there's a woman laying, a mentally ill homeless man is seen laying in the street blocking traffic in Times Square.

00:32:28.000 You look at Venice.

00:32:28.000 I mean, this is brutal.

00:32:30.000 Imagine after watching all of this.

00:32:32.000 Imagine after watching what happened in Portland with, you know, constant riots, firebombs.

00:32:36.000 Venice Boardwalk crime increases. Imagine after watching all of this. Imagine after watching what

00:32:42.000 happened in Portland with, you know, constant riots, firebombs.

00:32:46.000 People are like, well, you know, but I don't want people to think I'm a Trump supporter.

00:32:51.000 So I'll vote for the Democrat again.

00:32:52.000 Yeah.

00:32:53.000 And I think what's really shocking is that a lot of the people who are in these areas, these urban areas like New York, they've been there for so long.

00:33:00.000 They think it's normal.

00:33:01.000 I remember last time I was in L.A., I was talking to someone who was from L.A.

00:33:05.000 and she asked, like, so are you going to be moving down here?

00:33:07.000 And I said, I don't think I could, frankly.

00:33:09.000 She's like, oh, really?

00:33:10.000 Why not?

00:33:10.000 I was like, well, there's you know, there's a lot of poverty.

00:33:12.000 There's a lot of crime, a lot of homelessness.

00:33:14.000 And she was like, what, really?

00:33:15.000 And it's like, Yeah.

00:33:17.000 And even just recently, I was in New York with Sean, Actual Justice Warrior, and you know, he was driving us through the city and you know, we were asking him, so is this a good area?

00:33:27.000 Is this a good area?

00:33:28.000 And I remember like, we would be driving somewhere and he was like, yeah, yeah, this is a really nice area.

00:33:33.000 And like Liam and I would, my husband would like look at each other and back like, it does not look like Like a nice area.

00:33:37.000 And that's just, I think a lot of people are desensitized to, you know, seeing stuff.

00:33:40.000 Like we saw a drug deal on the side of the street.

00:33:42.000 Biggest rat I've ever seen in my life.

00:33:44.000 But that's normal for them.

00:33:47.000 So for these people who have been living... No offense.

00:33:49.000 No, a little bit of offense.

00:33:50.000 That's fine.

00:33:51.000 That's not good, yeah.

00:33:52.000 For these people who have been living in these cities for the past year, they're frogs boiling.

00:33:56.000 They don't realize the temperature is escalating.

00:33:59.000 Just every day another homeless tent, every day another crime, a mugging, and now they're

00:34:04.000 used to it.

00:34:05.000 And I know this from experience, because, you know, living in Chicago, I remember when

00:34:08.000 I leave Chicago, I'm like, wow, like, you know, carjackings and shootings are like a

00:34:12.000 rare thing, huh?

00:34:13.000 It's like, well, not when you're in Chicago.

00:34:14.000 It's like every once a month or at least you hear gunshots going out and you hear a story about a murder, 800 murders per year.

00:34:21.000 So you're getting a couple murders per day.

00:34:22.000 That's living life.

00:34:24.000 So when you live there, you're desensitized to all this.

00:34:26.000 So the people who are living in New York, and there's crime, and there's escalating mental illness and problems,

00:34:32.000 and benefits are worse, the train service is worse, it's just normal.

00:34:36.000 Every day they add one more grain of sand to that heap, and eventually the city's trash, and people just live in it.

00:34:42.000 L.A., though, people are noticing.

00:34:43.000 My friends in L.A.

00:34:44.000 are posting about it.

00:34:45.000 I'm like, dude, you'll see under the underpass, there's just like tents, tents, way, way more.

00:34:50.000 I was there in 2010.

00:34:50.000 I was in Venice.

00:34:51.000 I lived in Navy and Pacific right on the beach, like a block from the beach.

00:34:54.000 And they had passed legislation right around that time that they could no longer camp overnight in the parking lot.

00:35:00.000 They were like all bringing their RVs in and just living there in the parking lot.

00:35:03.000 So eventually they had to leave and come back.

00:35:06.000 Still pretty rare.

00:35:07.000 And it was to the point where, like, if you wanted to park on 5th Street in Venice and then walk to the beach, you're better off parking in front of, like, some homeless tents because they'll be like, hey!

00:35:14.000 And they'll watch your car for you.

00:35:16.000 And you come back and they're super cool.

00:35:18.000 But, you know, like anything, if it gets overpopulated, it can become very, very dangerous.

00:35:23.000 So here's two things are happening, right?

00:35:26.000 We got a bunch of Republicans, they're all gloating.

00:35:28.000 They're like, you know that, you know that gif of, uh, who is it?

00:35:31.000 It's the, what is it?

00:35:31.000 The Godfather or whatever?

00:35:32.000 Yeah.

00:35:33.000 Where they're like all laughing and smoking.

00:35:34.000 Yeah, that's the Godfather.

00:35:36.000 Yeah, so that's the Republican governors right now.

00:35:38.000 So we have this story.

00:35:39.000 Red state governors tell Hannity Town Hall how harsh lockdowns in liberal states have turned Democrat voters into Republicans who have fled and are now boosting their economies.

00:35:47.000 Cool.

00:35:48.000 The Democrats I think I can only imagine wanting to destroy their cities.

00:35:53.000 Well, it's hard to imagine people who are in these cities and who see everything getting worse, like, you know, the economy, crime and all that stuff.

00:36:00.000 And these places that have been in under the same control for decades, if not generations.

00:36:05.000 And if you look at the state of things now, who do you have to blame?

00:36:08.000 Right?

00:36:09.000 I mean, it's been the same people in power.

00:36:10.000 So if you're one of those residents and you're still voting for those same people, I mean, I've got a question, like, why?

00:36:17.000 Right?

00:36:17.000 That's insanity, just doing the same thing, keeping the same party, same people in power and expecting it to be different.

00:36:23.000 I kind of like, I forget who it was, maybe Kanye when it was talking about like, Blexit and voting for Trump.

00:36:28.000 It's like, what do you have to lose by trying something different if you're in one of those situations where, you know, like Baltimore or Detroit, you've kind of been sold out and just completely forgotten about why not at least try to change stuff up?

00:36:41.000 Democracy doesn't work, does it?

00:36:42.000 You know my thoughts on this.

00:36:44.000 What are your thoughts?

00:36:45.000 My thoughts are, I prefer individual liberty over democracy.

00:36:50.000 And they're not always in opposition to each other, but they are not synonymous like I think, you know, Democrats often paint them as being.

00:36:57.000 And I do, you know, service guarantees citizenship.

00:36:59.000 I think there's better metrics of measuring the effectiveness and fairness of government rather than everybody gets a say.

00:37:07.000 Yeah, so the Democratic Party is literally becoming the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party is literally becoming the Republican Party.

00:37:16.000 It's a bit simplistic right now, but Republicans like Republicanism, where you have states and you have these jurisdictions and you can live in your state and have your rights protected and the federal government provides for the common defense and things like that.

00:37:28.000 And then you have the Democratic Party, which wants everyone to vote all the time, no matter how old you are, and then just get a majority rule on things.

00:37:37.000 The, uh, ancient Greeks had two parties, primarily the democracy party and the oligarchy party.

00:37:43.000 And, uh, it seems like we might still have that with the Democrats and the Republicans, although they're both a little more like it's all funneling through a Republic now.

00:37:51.000 There is no like mob rule, but we still have like the Democrats and the oligarchs.

00:37:55.000 It's all mob rule.

00:37:56.000 What do you mean?

00:37:56.000 Well, we have the Republic in the Senate, basically, is supposed to, like, be a stopgap to the mob rule and say... Yeah, and that's true.

00:38:03.000 That does... The Democrats complain about it.

00:38:05.000 They're like, why do 16% of the population have 50% of the say or whatever?

00:38:09.000 Well, yeah, they talk about the Senate and the Electoral College not being Democratic as if that's a fault rather than the point.

00:38:16.000 Of the system.

00:38:17.000 Yeah, they say like, did you know this?

00:38:18.000 It's like, yeah, that's why it was created that way.

00:38:21.000 It's to temper mob rule.

00:38:22.000 And, you know, just the idea, they talk about things like they'll have polls like, this many people think it's unacceptable to have hate speech, yet it's allowed.

00:38:32.000 Or, you know, this many people think we should have socialist policies.

00:38:35.000 Like, I don't care what, how many other people support taking away my rights.

00:38:39.000 They're my rights.

00:38:40.000 You can't just take them away no matter how many people are in favor of it.

00:38:43.000 Well, that's what the guns are for. 0.94

00:38:44.000 Yes.

00:38:45.000 And they don't understand that either.

00:38:48.000 You know what it is?

00:38:49.000 It really is a sorting algorithm where you've got people who just don't know and don't care and the people who do.

00:38:53.000 That's really it.

00:38:54.000 They think they know and care.

00:38:56.000 But if that were true, they'd actually, I don't know, like fact check some of the things they read, but they don't.

00:39:01.000 Conservatives do.

00:39:02.000 Conservatives constantly are reading other sources.

00:39:05.000 And it's not perfect.

00:39:06.000 They're not always correct.

00:39:08.000 But as I mentioned fairly often, There's that one study, I think it was Pew, Republicans get around a third of their news from liberal sources because they're comparing and contrasting.

00:39:19.000 Liberals don't.

00:39:20.000 I think the Jonathan Haidt's research on moral foundations plays into this as well.

00:39:25.000 The left liberals only care about care and fairness.

00:39:28.000 They only have two moral foundations.

00:39:30.000 Republicans have six.

00:39:32.000 Initially it was five, now there's six.

00:39:34.000 So libertarians have one.

00:39:36.000 No, it's true.

00:39:36.000 It's true.

00:39:36.000 They have one.

00:39:37.000 Liberty.

00:39:37.000 That's it.

00:39:38.000 It's amazing.

00:39:39.000 So you can take these tests and they tell you if you're a liberal, conservative, or libertarian.

00:39:44.000 Libertarians don't care about anything so long as it's liberty-based.

00:39:47.000 Makes sense.

00:39:48.000 Yeah.

00:39:48.000 So there's like some really creepy questions in these tests, but Republicans tend to have every moral foundation, which includes purity, loyalty, authority, care, fairness, and liberty.

00:40:01.000 Did I say liberty?

00:40:02.000 Liberty.

00:40:02.000 I think that's a six.

00:40:03.000 I can't remember.

00:40:04.000 And the left is only care and fairness.

00:40:06.000 What ends up happening then is you go to someone and say, hey, I propose this policy, and the only thing the left cares about is, is it fair or caring about someone?

00:40:16.000 That's why you see Democrats literally be like, it's racist, it's racist, it's racist.

00:40:20.000 Because that strikes at care and fairness.

00:40:22.000 It's not fair.

00:40:23.000 Racism is not fair.

00:40:24.000 Family?

00:40:25.000 And then you go to conservatives and they care about loyalty, supporting those who supported

00:40:29.000 you, back the blue.

00:40:31.000 Authority, you know, also back the blue.

00:40:34.000 Purity is, you know, purity is an interesting- Family?

00:40:37.000 Yeah, like family and maintaining, you know, tradition and things like that.

00:40:42.000 This is my problem with fairness, this idea of fairness.

00:40:44.000 If there's two people, and you have one sandwich, what's fair?

00:40:47.000 You split it in half and give each person half.

00:40:49.000 What if one of those people is super hungry, the other one's totally full?

00:40:53.000 What's fair?

00:40:54.000 You still split it in half and give them each?

00:40:56.000 And this guy can't even eat it, so he throws it away?

00:40:57.000 Or do you give the entire sandwich to the hungry person?

00:40:59.000 And then you have to make that judgment call of what's fair, and you have to believe that they're telling the truth, that they're actually hungry.

00:41:05.000 I'll tell you, it's simple. 0.71

00:41:07.000 You take the sandwich for yourself and you kill both. 0.99

00:41:09.000 That's communism. 0.99

00:41:10.000 And communism is the most fair, right?

00:41:13.000 And that's a great point when it also comes to things like wealth redistribution, like the communism.

00:41:19.000 Is it fair, and I think the answer is no, but is it fair that someone who works all day gets the same amount of money as someone who didn't work at all?

00:41:28.000 Is that fair?

00:41:29.000 I would say no.

00:41:30.000 And there's this sense of like, Almost equity that they equate with fairness and they equate that with justice.

00:41:36.000 But I don't think that's fairness at all.

00:41:38.000 I think we have different definitions of what's fair.

00:41:40.000 Except like when it's in a family and it's like a young kid that can't work and then the parent does all the work and provides equal for everybody.

00:41:46.000 But I think there are people who are communists and socialists who sees who see everybody who isn't willing to work or incapable as as a child.

00:41:53.000 And we even saw that as like one of the drafts of the Green New Deal that even people who did not want to work would be provided for.

00:42:01.000 Here's the philosophical question.

00:42:02.000 Ian, if you saw a beautiful, rare butterfly flapping around doing its thing, and then it got stuck in a spider's web, would you free it?

00:42:12.000 No.

00:42:12.000 Why not?

00:42:15.000 I don't know.

00:42:16.000 It's not really my place.

00:42:17.000 Would you free it?

00:42:18.000 No, I don't like bugs.

00:42:19.000 I don't care if it's a butterfly, it dies. 0.98

00:42:21.000 Yeah, the trash, take care of the trash. 1.00

00:42:22.000 I wouldn't.

00:42:23.000 Spiders gotta eat. 0.82

00:42:24.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:42:27.000 Who do I condemn, the spider or the butterfly?

00:42:29.000 If you were caught in a big spider web, I would for you.

00:42:32.000 Right, because we... Unless it was like a Lord of the Rings thing in which case it's like... I agree.

00:42:36.000 No, but you can use the, what is it, the light of... The last light of the elves or whatever.

00:42:44.000 There you go.

00:42:45.000 And then you'd scare the spider away. 0.99

00:42:46.000 I'd cut it away and I'd scream, pull you down and carry you off on my shoulder.

00:42:50.000 It's interesting.

00:42:51.000 So I went out and I gathered a bunch of cicadas, right?

00:42:54.000 Cause they're everywhere.

00:42:55.000 And I just, like in 10 minutes I had 40 of them and I just dumped them in the chicken city and the chickens just run up and start just mashing their faces into them and they're eating them like crazy.

00:43:03.000 And I thought about like how brutal it was that these things spend their lives, 17 years, 17 years of their lives growing and getting ready to just get that chance to reproduce.

00:43:13.000 And I took that away from them. 0.94

00:43:15.000 I do think, however, I'm helping, because the smart cicadas, when I got close, would fly away, and the dumb ones would just go. 0.98

00:43:22.000 That's evolution. 0.99

00:43:23.000 That's right.

00:43:23.000 You're contributing to the gene pool.

00:43:25.000 Well, that's kind of scary, because then you're contributing to some sort of, like, super cicada race. 1.00

00:43:29.000 It means that the next round of cicadas will avoid people.

00:43:35.000 I know, but maybe avoid them to the point where you can't hear them.

00:43:38.000 That would be nice, right?

00:43:39.000 No, they're too loud.

00:43:40.000 Anyway, the point is, this is an important philosophical question, because a lot of people who only care about care and fairness would be like, oh, you've got to free the butterfly, because butterflies are pretty and spiders are gross and nasty, ew, icky.

00:43:51.000 So it's a very childish way of looking at things.

00:43:53.000 Sure, I mean, spiders, I actually like spiders way better than butterflies.

00:43:56.000 Almost super official.

00:43:57.000 I would catch the butterfly and throw it in the spider's mouth.

00:43:59.000 Oh, okay.

00:43:59.000 I'm kidding.

00:44:00.000 It seems like superficial, like this idea of fairness.

00:44:03.000 I mean, obviously if someone's starving, it's not superficial.

00:44:08.000 But it kinda is.

00:44:10.000 I mean, it's not, obviously, because when it comes to a human's life and a human's death, that's not superficial.

00:44:14.000 Let's stop for a second.

00:44:15.000 Ian, you mentioned the sandwich thing, right?

00:44:17.000 Alright, so one person's starving and one person's not starving.

00:44:21.000 Why is the person starving?

00:44:22.000 Exactly.

00:44:23.000 So what if the person's starving because he's been sleeping all day, and he doesn't work, and he's a misanthrope, and the other guy who's not starving made the sandwich, and he's not starving because he makes sandwiches?

00:44:34.000 And then what, you take it away from him and give to somebody who's not contributing?

00:44:38.000 This is a big challenge we face because, as you mentioned, Ian, you would save me from the giant spider web.

00:44:42.000 I would.

00:44:43.000 Bless your heart.

00:44:45.000 However, there's big questions about that because humans obviously want to save humans because we're all humans.

00:44:50.000 We care about each other.

00:44:51.000 But then our natural tendency to save each other results in people who are a drain on the system being saved.

00:44:57.000 It's really interesting.

00:44:58.000 It's almost dysgenics.

00:45:00.000 Yeah, I was talking to, I can't remember who it was, it might have been Daniel, about chickens.

00:45:04.000 And I think he was mentioning that the roosters kill the baby roosters.

00:45:07.000 Yeah, he's the expert.

00:45:08.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:45:08.000 He was saying like, they cull the weak.

00:45:10.000 Wow.

00:45:10.000 If the rooster sees a weak chick, it'll just mutilate it.

00:45:14.000 That metal.

00:45:14.000 Yeah, super metal.

00:45:16.000 And it's like, because the idea is, it's trying to make sure that the flock stays strong.

00:45:20.000 We don't do that anymore.

00:45:21.000 We coddle the weak.

00:45:22.000 Anymore?

00:45:23.000 Well, I mean, like, yes.

00:45:24.000 Well, look at Sparta, war.

00:45:26.000 I mean, just in general, we didn't have the social systems to take care of people the way that we did.

00:45:32.000 I mean, also, we didn't have the medicine.

00:45:34.000 So it's like, you know, Darwinism. 0.92

00:45:35.000 If you screwed up, you were going to die.

00:45:37.000 But now medicine and technology and society in general has advanced to the point where we are able to keep the people who would have been killed off long ago just around. 0.99

00:45:45.000 Idiocracy.

00:45:46.000 Yes.

00:45:47.000 So you guys have seen Idiocracy, right?

00:45:48.000 Yes.

00:45:48.000 Only parts of it.

00:45:50.000 So Mike Judge, genius.

00:45:52.000 It's where, they state in the beginning of the movie, it used to be the strongest would survive, but because of human technology, now those who reproduced the most were being rewarded by evolution. 0.99

00:46:03.000 And I think what he missed in that, sort of, I mean, obviously the idea is that stupid people reproduce more than the smarter people. 0.99

00:46:08.000 Which is true. 0.99

00:46:09.000 But what he missed also was, just in general, people with a variety of ailments and weaknesses.

00:46:16.000 And, you know, I mean no disrespect, because, I mean, people want to live, you know what I mean?

00:46:19.000 I get that.

00:46:21.000 We're humans, we care about each other.

00:46:23.000 So that's a very important philosophical question that gets it into very dangerous territory.

00:46:30.000 But I think so long as you maintain libertarian values and just say, look, I'll do my thing, you do yours, we're probably better off.

00:46:37.000 But there's a very deep philosophical question there.

00:46:41.000 If you see somebody who is like, their leg is broken, and there's like a wolf running towards them, do you say, oh, well, you know, the strong must survive, or do you help save the person?

00:46:51.000 If the person's got like a genetic deformity in their leg and a wolf is running, do you say, oh, well, the strong survive, or do you save the person?

00:46:57.000 Humans, I think, and this is good, default towards saving people.

00:47:00.000 And it's unfortunate for us because in the long term, it's, it's, we'll probably have a negative impact to a certain degree.

00:47:06.000 Well, and it's not just that.

00:47:07.000 It is, like you were saying about idiocracy, the fact that not only are we trying to save everybody, but it's almost like the people who are the smartest and who would have potentially the most to contribute, they tend toward nihilism nowadays because of, you know, economy, politics, lack of...

00:47:23.000 Spirituality, whatever, and they're less likely to reproduce. 0.87

00:47:26.000 So then that is dysgenic.

00:47:27.000 It's like if you look at women, the more educated a woman is, the less likely she is to have children and the fewer children she is. 1.00

00:47:35.000 So it's not looking great for the long-term survival of our species.

00:47:40.000 Yeah.

00:47:40.000 And I think what ends up happening is you're going to get people who are very powerful, wealthy industrialists who are going to use their influence and power to say, you know what?

00:47:48.000 We're going to intervene and we're going to force humans to do something.

00:47:52.000 I mean, you look at how we treat hogs and deer when they get overpopulated.

00:47:57.000 Humans have no problem getting in a helicopter with some high powered rifles and then hunting down those hogs. 1.00

00:48:02.000 Like that's, they do this legit crazy.

00:48:04.000 When there's like an overpopulation of feral hogs, they go and they cull them.

00:48:06.000 They do the same thing with deer.

00:48:07.000 We have deer season for a reason.

00:48:09.000 Too many of them.

00:48:10.000 And then we get turkey season.

00:48:11.000 Too many of them.

00:48:12.000 Humans.

00:48:13.000 Nobody culls humans.

00:48:14.000 Except for other humans in war.

00:48:16.000 Well, I mean, I don't want to go down a whole rabbit hole, but there are people who think that, you know, there are a lot of abortion providers who go to places specifically like Africa and, you know, not just birth control, but actual abortions.

00:48:30.000 I mean, there's an argument to be made that is in a way, especially if you ascribe to the pro-life mentality, that is a form of calling it.

00:48:38.000 You're saying there's too many of you.

00:48:39.000 You can't survive.

00:48:40.000 You're breeding at too fast a rate.

00:48:42.000 We need to nip this in the bud.

00:48:44.000 It's creepy.

00:48:44.000 Yeah.

00:48:45.000 There's no real... I don't... I think humans... And it's not just in, like, developing countries.

00:48:49.000 You could make the same argument that, like, the majority of abortion providers are in, you know, lower-income neighborhoods.

00:48:55.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:48:56.000 In minority areas.

00:48:57.000 That's creepy.

00:48:58.000 It's creepy.

00:48:58.000 This conversation's, like, so... It's impossible, and I think humans are just screwed, basically.

00:49:04.000 What you said was one of the most interesting things I've heard in a long time, is that The weak used to die off young and so the strong would breed and our evolution was strong and now the weak are kept around with medicine and are breeding.

00:49:19.000 And so our species is potentially seeing that side effect now.

00:49:24.000 And that results in fascism.

00:49:25.000 In all sorts of crazy deformities within our race. 0.99

00:49:28.000 It results in strong men, authoritarian, fascistic leaders who are like, I'm going to kill these people. 0.97

00:49:35.000 And that's the creepy thing.

00:49:37.000 I think that's why space travel is probably our best approach.

00:49:40.000 We as humans, we can't tolerate the idea of just deciding who gets to live or die by some person's choice because an individual will never be smart enough to understand.

00:49:50.000 You know, a decentralized network is infinitely better, but through technology, more people are surviving, even people who normally wouldn't.

00:49:57.000 What do we do?

00:49:58.000 I think space travel, space colonization, rapid acceleration of technology is probably the best approach, because we certainly want to do everything to stop fascists.

00:50:05.000 But this is a real philosophical challenge, and you'll get the scary thing is, People who don't care about technology, many of these leftists who are saying space travel is a waste of time, bring the money back to Earth, because they don't realize the money was spent here in the first place, because they're not literally shipping money to Mars.

00:50:21.000 Like, when you hire someone to build a spaceship, you pay them on Earth, and then they go and work and they buy food.

00:50:25.000 Anyway, I digress.

00:50:27.000 These people are ideologically driven, and it's creepy.

00:50:29.000 Like when Greta Thunberg... I think, genuinely, she is a tool of an authoritarian, fascistic ideology. 0.86

00:50:38.000 Because she said she wanted to shut down fossil fuels NOW. 0.98

00:50:42.000 Which would result, I think, in like 60 million deaths in a few weeks.

00:50:45.000 No joke, because starvation and all diabetics would immediately die. 1.00

00:50:49.000 If we lost access to refrigeration and electricity overnight because of shutting down of coal power plants, hundreds of, like, I don't know how many diabetics there are, but they need insulin to be refrigerated.

00:51:00.000 We had the power go out the other day.

00:51:02.000 Refrigerator's gone, like food spoils.

00:51:05.000 Just like that.

00:51:06.000 And so we set the generator up, we have the batteries, and we're hoping to keep our refrigerator going.

00:51:09.000 Heaven forbid you actually rely on that like diabetics do. 1.00

00:51:12.000 So when Greta Thunberg comes out, it's really fascinating.

00:51:16.000 She's this big climate change activist. 1.00

00:51:18.000 A lot of these climate change people are very much apocalyptic.

00:51:22.000 We've got nine years to solve this problem.

00:51:24.000 Think about how scary that is, what they're really saying.

00:51:27.000 There are too many people, they are using too much, and we have nine years to figure it out.

00:51:32.000 Or else what?

00:51:33.000 Yeah, so what's the what?

00:51:34.000 And then they talk about a great reset, changing capitalism.

00:51:37.000 Well, for one thing, I think it's kind of great that people are adopting van life,

00:51:42.000 like millennials are hopping in vans and cruising and enjoying life more and just chilling.

00:51:47.000 People for too long were getting their happiness out of things.

00:51:50.000 Nah, man, you want to sit on the beach with a dog and look at the stars.

00:51:53.000 That's that's the way to do it.

00:51:54.000 And that's better for the planet and everything.

00:51:55.000 But then when you hear, you know, you hear these people like Greta Thunberg,

00:52:00.000 And it's not just her, you know, AOC getting rid of fossil fuels. 0.52

00:52:04.000 Shutting it all down.

00:52:05.000 Like, that would kill a lot of people very quickly.

00:52:08.000 Now, maybe they don't realize that.

00:52:09.000 But somebody certainly does.

00:52:11.000 And they're getting their talking points from somewhere.

00:52:13.000 Maybe it's a natural emergence.

00:52:14.000 We see the crisis in environmentalism from insect die-offs to dead zones in the ocean.

00:52:20.000 To, you know, massive droughts.

00:52:22.000 Whatever you want to call it.

00:52:23.000 And then people react and say we must do something. 0.76

00:52:26.000 What they're proposing doing would kill a lot of people. 0.91

00:52:30.000 No, it definitely is, and I think there are people that are okay with it, and there are people that think it might actually be a good thing, but I think a lot of the people who are making those decisions are assuming that they will be in the class or group of people who will be saved and who will be in power controlling everything.

00:52:46.000 Do you ever watch that show, Sliders?

00:52:48.000 No.

00:52:48.000 You've seen Sliders?

00:52:49.000 Yeah, only a couple times, though.

00:52:50.000 I loved it.

00:52:50.000 I've never even heard of that.

00:52:52.000 Really?

00:52:52.000 Yeah.

00:52:53.000 It's awesome.

00:52:53.000 They're like time-traveled, or dimensions have shifted, or something.

00:52:55.000 That might be why I avoid time-travel.

00:52:57.000 No, it's not time-travel.

00:52:58.000 It's from the 90s, and it's Jerry O'Connell's in it.

00:53:01.000 Yeah.

00:53:02.000 And he invents a... Well, he doesn't really invent it.

00:53:05.000 Alternate reality guy helps him solve it, but he ends up inventing this portal gun that opens up portal to other dimensions So the show is like for the most part they go to a different earth and things are slightly different There was one where they go to this they go to this version of earth and And the ATM machines will give you whatever, however much money you want.

00:53:23.000 Just prints, like, you can walk up to an ATM, and it'll be like, pick your number.

00:53:27.000 And so, they're like, you know, excited, and they're getting thousands of dollars, like, this is, this is crazy, what is this place?

00:53:31.000 And they're spending money, and as they do it, people keep saying, like, you're so amazing, thank you so much.

00:53:37.000 And they're just like, sure, like, whatever.

00:53:40.000 And they're spending this money, because what it really was, was every dollar was a lottery ticket for your execution.

00:53:46.000 So, in this episode, like, the world was, they kept the population number down by giving you the choice to pull money out of an ATM, unlimited, but the more you pulled, the more likely you were to get executed.

00:54:00.000 And they celebrated it.

00:54:01.000 So it's like, you won the lottery!

00:54:02.000 And they're like, oh!

00:54:04.000 And then they were like, thank you so much for what you're doing.

00:54:06.000 And then... Wow.

00:54:08.000 Yup.

00:54:08.000 Wow, dystopian.

00:54:09.000 Cool show.

00:54:10.000 Show kind of went off the rails.

00:54:12.000 Kind of dark.

00:54:12.000 What happened to it?

00:54:14.000 I don't know, it just got weird.

00:54:15.000 I loved it, but it was not on a time slot I could watch.

00:54:19.000 Dude, that's awesome!

00:54:20.000 That's terrifying, but kind of an awesome way to look at money.

00:54:23.000 Talk about frugality.

00:54:27.000 I'm not a fan of it.

00:54:28.000 I guess the thing is, you get a choice.

00:54:30.000 We're not a fan of death lotteries?

00:54:31.000 No, not a fan.

00:54:33.000 Not a fan of printing massive amounts of money and hoping that we all survive.

00:54:37.000 We're in trouble though, I think so.

00:54:39.000 I mean, some people say that overpopulation won't happen, that we're not overpopulated and there will be an equilibrium, a natural equilibrium would occur, like the Black Plague.

00:54:48.000 Well, that's the real equilibrium that high population density will result in some kind of plague or something.

00:54:56.000 I mean, we just saw COVID.

00:54:57.000 But we've also got this technology.

00:55:01.000 You know, we prevent these things from happening.

00:55:02.000 We have defeated much of the threats against us.

00:55:06.000 So what's going to happen is humans are going to keep just expanding.

00:55:10.000 But the technology also has created ways for us to destroy ourselves in mass dose, like we saw in Hiroshima. 0.85

00:55:16.000 Or even just things like obesity.

00:55:18.000 As we've become more prosperous, we're actually now eating ourselves to death in large numbers.

00:55:23.000 And you see that in now China.

00:55:25.000 You never used to see fat people in mainland China, but now there's a growing middle class and with that prosperity comes chubby little children.

00:55:32.000 So we're creating a plague which is called obesity.

00:55:35.000 Yeah, yeah, exactly.

00:55:36.000 Through our prosperity.

00:55:37.000 So is the Great Reset a good thing?

00:55:40.000 No.

00:55:40.000 Why not?

00:55:41.000 Because the people who are controlling it are doing it with nefarious purposes.

00:55:45.000 So I'm not against the idea of a societal reset, so to speak, a changing of the paradigm or whatever.

00:55:52.000 I agree with Michael Malice, national divorce, some people would call that a reset.

00:55:56.000 But, you know, when we talk about the whole build back better UN agenda, whatever, if you're into Alex Jones.

00:56:01.000 I mean, that's referring to a specific number and group of people with a specific agenda.

00:56:06.000 The Great Reset is real.

00:56:07.000 The World Economic Forum has proposed it.

00:56:09.000 They're very woke.

00:56:10.000 The Davos Group wants these things to happen.

00:56:12.000 These people are very much concerned about climate change, and very much so they want people to stop consuming, to eat the bugs, and to live in vans.

00:56:22.000 So this is the interesting thing about the Great Reset.

00:56:24.000 I see a lot of people say, I will not eat the bugs, I will not live in the pod.

00:56:27.000 I'll eat the bugs, I won't live in the pod.

00:56:29.000 Yeah, there you go.

00:56:30.000 I'm okay with the bugs.

00:56:30.000 I'll eat the bugs and live in the pod.

00:56:31.000 I'm you know choose the pod I Right pod choice. Yeah

00:56:37.000 Yeah, no, I mean I think about like I'd love to just have like a tiny house like by a river or go fishing and

00:56:46.000 just you know be responsible for myself and And I have no issue with eating bugs other than they have to be farmed properly and not really parasites.

00:56:55.000 So don't eat bugs off the ground.

00:56:57.000 The media telling people to eat bugs, that's the craziest thing.

00:56:59.000 We bought cricket powder.

00:57:01.000 That's the Minds blinking they're about to shut off because they're not plugged in.

00:57:06.000 Yeah, let me see if I can do it you guys Thanks, New York.

00:57:09.000 All right, so this is now the Lauren Chen show.

00:57:12.000 That's right.

00:57:13.000 She's taking over Okay, Lauren, if you had to eat a bug, what would your favorite bug be?

00:57:17.000 It would be something crunchy.

00:57:18.000 I've thought about this before because I used to watch, you guys know Bear Grylls right?

00:57:22.000 He's that adventure guy.

00:57:23.000 Huge fan of his and I've watched a lot of shows and I feel like you you want to go crunchy not slimy.

00:57:28.000 It stopped beeping.

00:57:29.000 And I also don't get why so many people when they do like bug eating challenges or they talk about it they don't cook the bug.

00:57:36.000 I would cook the bug.

00:57:36.000 Like just treat it like regular food.

00:57:38.000 Cook it.

00:57:38.000 Clean it.

00:57:39.000 Prepare it.

00:57:41.000 How would you cook it?

00:57:41.000 What would you add?

00:57:42.000 I mean, in China and like Thailand, they do like a deep fry thing with bugs.

00:57:46.000 My dad, he's had like deep fried silkworms.

00:57:49.000 And I mean, that's like a slimy thing, so I still wouldn't want to do it.

00:57:52.000 But I feel like you could make bugs palatable.

00:57:55.000 Oh, sure.

00:57:55.000 We got cricket powder.

00:57:57.000 Yeah, Tim just got a bunch of it, actually.

00:57:59.000 I'd try it, I'd try it.

00:57:59.000 I'm gonna make some bread with it.

00:58:00.000 We're gonna make cricket bread.

00:58:02.000 It's gonna be a mix, because there's not enough powder to make a big five-cup loaf.

00:58:06.000 And there's no gluten in it.

00:58:08.000 It's just gritty, ground-up crickets.

00:58:09.000 Add the gluten, make it sticky, yeah, it's gonna be good.

00:58:12.000 But we have the high-gluten flour, so we'll just do a little bit, maybe help bond or something.

00:58:17.000 You can make cookies really easily, because you don't need a lot of... Cricket cookies.

00:58:20.000 Yeah, there's a bunch of recipes for that.

00:58:22.000 I tried like a gluten-free muffin one time and it was like a dandelion like you know you blow and it just like crumbles in the air.

00:58:27.000 Yeah, no gluten.

00:58:28.000 You want the gluten.

00:58:29.000 If you can have it.

00:58:30.000 I got no problem eating bugs.

00:58:33.000 I just think when I see the media it's really creepy when all of these news outlets pop up with the same story like Go eat the cicadas and it's like, no, no, no, no.

00:58:43.000 Did you guys see the story about the dude who ate the slug and then got paralyzed and then died?

00:58:46.000 No, no rugby player.

00:58:49.000 Oh, don't eat bugs off the ground, man.

00:58:52.000 It's like, if you want to, people are like, you can't eat.

00:58:55.000 There's an article from NBC.

00:58:56.000 It said, don't hug you and kiss your chickens.

00:58:59.000 And I'm like, yeah, no, duh.

00:58:59.000 But it's okay to eat the cicadas?

00:59:01.000 Right.

00:59:02.000 What?

00:59:02.000 That's the craziest thing.

00:59:03.000 They're like, if you hug and kiss your chickens, you could get salmonella or whatever.

00:59:06.000 And I'm like, dude, we have chickens.

00:59:07.000 Yeah.

00:59:08.000 I will pet them.

00:59:09.000 And then I go and I wash.

00:59:10.000 Yeah.

00:59:11.000 Well, I think the issue is a lot of people conflate nature with safe and healthy.

00:59:15.000 Which, if you've spent any number, like, amount of time in nature, you know it's not the case.

00:59:20.000 It's the opposite.

00:59:20.000 I mean, yeah, I mean, I think people live in this idea where like, yeah, you can just, like, go into the forest, eat whatever, drink from a stream, and it's like, no, you can't do that.

00:59:29.000 You will die very quickly if you try.

00:59:31.000 This is the weirdest thing.

00:59:32.000 There's a lot of contradictory things I see in the culture war, right?

00:59:37.000 You would think the conservatives would be the ones saying to eat the bugs and live in the pods.

00:59:41.000 You know why?

00:59:42.000 It's, like, heartier.

00:59:43.000 Hardcore survivalist.

00:59:45.000 Yeah.

00:59:45.000 It's tougher.

00:59:47.000 It's more self-reliant.

00:59:48.000 It's stronger.

00:59:51.000 Like, the way I look at it, eating bugs, I'm like, dude, I'll do what I have to do to survive.

00:59:56.000 Me too.

00:59:56.000 I would do well in the apocalypse.

00:59:58.000 I'll eat anything.

00:59:58.000 I'm scrappy.

00:59:59.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:00:00.000 Grass.

01:00:01.000 I'm sure we can.

01:00:01.000 You can't eat grass.

01:00:02.000 You gotta boil it.

01:00:03.000 Season it, drink the tea.

01:00:06.000 It's a lot of wasted energy.

01:00:08.000 I've been down this road, Ian.

01:00:09.000 Let's go down it again, Tim.

01:00:10.000 You can boil grass.

01:00:12.000 There's some stuff in it, but a human will not get enough energy out of it.

01:00:16.000 If you have to, you can maybe make some kind of tea.

01:00:18.000 It would be like a supplement, yeah.

01:00:19.000 It's the same with rabbits, I think.

01:00:21.000 There's not enough fat on them, so it's like the sailors. 0.90

01:00:24.000 They would know, okay, well, we need some fat.

01:00:27.000 Shouldn't conservatives be the ones who are like, if I had to, I will live in a pod?

01:00:32.000 Not like a government-mandated pod they shove you in, but like, you build your own hut in the middle of the woods.

01:00:37.000 Well, that's the thing.

01:00:37.000 I think a lot of conservatives do have the equivalent of bug-out pods, and they probably do have, like, the MREs, which are, you know, survival food, which maybe has bug in it.

01:00:47.000 Probably.

01:00:48.000 But I think the idea is that, like, they don't think it's necessary, and there are these Big government people who are telling you to live in a pod so they can live in excess, right?

01:00:57.000 You know, there's a meme.

01:00:58.000 It's really funny They were like it's a liberal saying we've got ten years until climate change destroys the world and the conservative says So what are you doing about it?

01:01:05.000 And they're like getting an arts degree living in a big city and not preparing and trying to get guns banned Yeah, it's like you certainly don't think the end is nigh you're saying that I don't know if I believe you that's that's the funniest thing it's like I'm sorry, I would never take the bet if there was a

01:01:22.000 liberal and a conservative and it was like, okay We're gonna put them both in the woods who survives I'm

01:01:25.000 like Every every hour of the day every day of the week. I'm

01:01:29.000 betting on the conservative to survive Yeah, even if it's like a 55 year old big pot-bellied, you

01:01:34.000 know old conservative guy with Confederate flag shirt I bet I still think he's gonna win that guy's gonna know

01:01:40.000 how to grow possum man You get the occasional guy's gonna write a book out of barkers.

01:01:43.000 I'm the occasional hippie that eats like grubs That doesn't eat very much and it's super skinny. That guy's

01:01:50.000 usually pretty liberal come from like eating seeds. Yeah Yeah, yeah, it doesn't need much energy to survive. So to

01:01:55.000 be fair the leftists will, the average leftist will probably starve because they're

01:02:00.000 just going to try and take food from each other.

01:02:02.000 A certain sect of libertarian leftists will do just fine because they're probably just

01:02:06.000 sitting, you know, playing their guitar like stoned anyway and they're sharing, just eating

01:02:10.000 what they can, eating grubs and bugs.

01:02:12.000 Then the conservatives are, you know, chopping down the trees and-

01:02:15.000 Well I think a big difference between who would and would not survive that also intersects

01:02:20.000 politically is urban versus rural.

01:02:23.000 And that's a big divide politically.

01:02:25.000 Urban people tend to be overwhelmingly leftists.

01:02:27.000 And I mean, you can tell in their policies, if you look at how they are concerned for things like overpopulation and climate change.

01:02:34.000 And just pollution in general.

01:02:35.000 I'm not saying that those aren't concerns, but I think just looking at the environments that they live in, cities that are dirty and overcrowded, if you go to the country, I think you're much more likely to feel like you are kind of living closer to nature.

01:02:49.000 And you're just frankly more likely to have those survival skills.

01:02:52.000 I mean, you have city people who probably, I don't know, have never been camping, never made a fire by themselves.

01:02:57.000 Of course, if the shiz hit the fan, they wouldn't survive. 1.00

01:03:01.000 That is fascinating to think that the people that live in cities are obsessed with climate change because they're breathing in brake dust and carbon monoxide.

01:03:07.000 They're causing it.

01:03:08.000 Yeah.

01:03:08.000 And they're affected by it.

01:03:09.000 Like people in the country aren't affected by it.

01:03:11.000 Yep.

01:03:12.000 So they don't think about it.

01:03:13.000 The pollution in some of these Chinese cities, it's just it's nuts where they're like the big TV screen that looks like sunlight because it's all smog. 1.00

01:03:20.000 Los Angeles smog problem.

01:03:22.000 San Francisco has a smog.

01:03:23.000 No, they have a poop problem.

01:03:24.000 The people who live in these areas are like, look at all these problems.

01:03:26.000 Like, bro, stop living in a concrete cubicle in a city that's covered in poop.

01:03:31.000 Yeah, I mean it's the same thing with their concerns about things like wealth inequality and stuff like that.

01:03:35.000 The people who are most concerned with wealth inequality come from LA and New York and that's because they are living in the places with the millionaires and the homeless people.

01:03:43.000 If you go to the rest of the country, not to say there aren't still rich and poor people, but it's a lot more equitable.

01:03:48.000 It's just these people in these like urban coastal centers, they think their little bubble is representative of the entire country.

01:03:54.000 Peaceful divorce.

01:03:55.000 Yes.

01:03:55.000 We can, all of these cities should be free and independent, and they can form an archipelago alliance.

01:04:00.000 Yeah, well actually, so one of my friends, he was saying that he's from California, he doesn't want to give up California, but so his solution was not like full secession, but it's like there can be like little city-state protectorates within the greater America, and they can have, like they could pay for utilities and like national defense.

01:04:19.000 They'd collapse in two seconds.

01:04:22.000 Yeah, because they survive off stealing resources.

01:04:25.000 I shouldn't say only exists, but mostly exists because they're getting the Colorado River water.

01:04:30.000 And if at any point their jurisdictions to the east of LA, they could just be like, nope, shut it off.

01:04:36.000 Yeah, city-states seem to fall apart with the invention of gunpowder.

01:04:40.000 I don't know exactly when they started fading away, but I mean, the Vatican, I think, still is a city-state.

01:04:45.000 Well, even you have the UAE, the United Arab Emirates, with like Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

01:04:49.000 I mean, I'm not super well-versed on how they're doing, but I think in essence they operate similarly to that.

01:04:54.000 It used to be walls would protect the giant citadel and you couldn't get in, but then gunpowder, you could break down the walls.

01:04:59.000 Then, of course, air power.

01:05:00.000 Well, fun fact, Quebec City in Canada is like the only walled city in North America.

01:05:06.000 Really?

01:05:06.000 Yeah.

01:05:07.000 It's like walled?

01:05:08.000 It's walled.

01:05:09.000 But not the entire city.

01:05:10.000 I mean, at one point it used to be.

01:05:13.000 I don't know if it is all still up, but we went there for my birthday a couple of years ago.

01:05:17.000 Wall Street in New York was a big giant wall back in the day.

01:05:21.000 Yeah, so I want to go back to this point about, you know, climate change and survival and stuff, because when I think about... We just talked a lot about liberals not being able to survive the wilderness, which is mostly the truth.

01:05:32.000 There's probably some liberals who, you know, know what they're doing, I guess.

01:05:35.000 Do you see Naked and Afraid?

01:05:36.000 What's that?

01:05:36.000 Oh, it's a show where they take two people, get them naked, and then drop them in the woods.

01:05:40.000 Oh, no!

01:05:40.000 Really?

01:05:40.000 It's crazy.

01:05:41.000 Yeah.

01:05:41.000 And you get the occasional liberal dude that just doesn't eat very much.

01:05:44.000 Well, I've heard people talk about shows like that and they've put vegans on and they end up having to eat a bug or something just because it's easy, it's fast, you need the protein.

01:05:54.000 Did you ever see that one show where they have two islands, one with only men and one with only women?

01:05:58.000 No.

01:05:58.000 And then the women start fighting with each other and they can't get anything done.

01:06:02.000 One expedition group gets lost and starts panicking because they can't find their way back.

01:06:06.000 And then like meanwhile on the dude island, they have like their own bar is already built and they're like distilling

01:06:10.000 alcohol and coconuts.

01:06:12.000 And then the women come to the men's islands saying like, give us stuff and give us resources. 1.00

01:06:16.000 Well, that's like, I have this evolutionary theory that is backed up by nothing.

01:06:19.000 Just my opinion.

01:06:22.000 But have you noticed that women don't work well together generally? 1.00

01:06:27.000 There's like the whole queen bee Lydia probably knows. 0.95

01:06:30.000 Yeah, I work in nursing.

01:06:32.000 Yeah, and I think the reason why that is is because men have an evolutionary drive to work together for things like hunting but if you look at traditionally like back way back before we had like societies women did not really have much incentive to partner with other women right because your your child rearing was usually your own family members other females you wouldn't share those responsibilities with females who weren't related to you whereas if you were a man you would go hunting with all the other village men it's not the same for women 0.52

01:07:01.000 That's a good point.

01:07:02.000 Yeah, so the woman was looking towards the man who was going to kill the bear and, you know, bring the food back. 0.99

01:07:08.000 And the man was looking for people who could partner with him to go and bring the food back.

01:07:11.000 Right.

01:07:11.000 And actually, evolutionary speaking, if you're a woman, you do have an incentive to view all other women as competitors for your man and his chunk of bear meat.

01:07:21.000 I agree, but from my understanding, women tend to be more bisexual than men because they had to cooperate with other women because of polygamy.

01:07:31.000 You'd have more than one wife, so you needed to cooperate with other women. 0.86

01:07:34.000 So I don't know, you could go either way on that one, but you're probably right.

01:07:37.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:07:38.000 Like I said, this is not based on science, like at all, just my opinion.

01:07:42.000 It's weird how that manifests in modern politics.

01:07:45.000 So it reminds me of people have mentioned the rat utopia experiment, I think it was, or was it mouse utopia?

01:07:51.000 Yeah.

01:07:51.000 Yeah, they created a utopia where the mice were free to just do whatever they want.

01:07:55.000 They had unlimited food and, you know, but a finite space.

01:07:58.000 And then eventually they reached this population maximum where they stopped reproducing.

01:08:03.000 They started becoming more, you know, homosexual or like atypical. 0.88

01:08:07.000 So like San Francisco?

01:08:08.000 I mean, maybe these things are emerging in society because we've reached the epitome of wealth and survival.

01:08:15.000 If you think about it, there were reactions to deviations from social norms that were very severe, like women who worked were witches and did meth because women needed to have babies, otherwise you were on the verge of collapse. 0.74

01:08:27.000 Now we have so much That we don't need everybody to be having families, technically.

01:08:34.000 Like, humanity's not going to go extinct because people aren't having babies.

01:08:38.000 In fact, it's the other way around.

01:08:39.000 Or even within your own family, you no longer need to have seven in the hopes that like three or four make it to adulthood.

01:08:45.000 You can pretty much be guaranteed that they're all going to survive.

01:08:48.000 So now there's no threat to society for deviations of social norms, so people stopped caring.

01:08:53.000 And this is another point I've heard.

01:08:55.000 I don't know to the extent of which it's factually correct.

01:08:58.000 Ask a historian.

01:08:59.000 When I was reading about the end of slavery, notably in the UK, it started there because of industrialization.

01:09:05.000 It wasn't this great moral awakening of these European countries.

01:09:09.000 You didn't need it.

01:09:11.000 It was actually cheaper to get the machine to do it.

01:09:13.000 And so then all of a sudden they were like people stopped supporting it because it wasn't benefiting them as much

01:09:18.000 anymore and as the Support faded. They just said okay. We're done with it

01:09:22.000 I think the UK just paid like they paid the people who had slaves as okay

01:09:25.000 We're done in the US though It was very different because it's a very very large

01:09:28.000 country Trying to enforce laws across the whole country in the

01:09:31.000 northern areas that were industrializing. They were like nobody really needs it anymore

01:09:36.000 So then they start voting against it.

01:09:38.000 In the southern states, where it was less developed, they were demanding the right to keep slaves.

01:09:42.000 So the point I'm trying to make is, don't give people credit for having a great moral awakening.

01:09:47.000 It was just, as soon as it doesn't benefit people anymore, then all of a sudden they're willing to let go because there's better paths towards wealth.

01:09:54.000 It's kind of creepy if you think about it, the way humans are.

01:09:56.000 Yeah, I mean, but also we were talking about democracy and like now that we bring up slavery, that is one of the other reasons why I don't think democracy is a good way to judge a society's morality.

01:10:06.000 I mean, if you look at where most of society's moral compass would have been during the slavery era, most people were white, most people were fine with it. 0.91

01:10:15.000 Does that mean that it was therefore moral for people to keep slaves?

01:10:18.000 I mean, right?

01:10:19.000 Because they were the minority and everyone else thought it was fine. 0.63

01:10:21.000 No, it does not.

01:10:22.000 Yeah, not cool.

01:10:24.000 But it's so many different cultures have functioned in basically the same way.

01:10:29.000 It's like a human universal.

01:10:31.000 I think people, I'm fairly, I don't want to say I'm optimistic or pessimistic.

01:10:36.000 I'm very nihilistic or neutral when it comes to trusting human's intentions.

01:10:40.000 I think people are very self-interested.

01:10:43.000 Yeah.

01:10:43.000 Yes.

01:10:43.000 I think they can have empathy, but I think, like, learning about that, that's one of the biggest drivers of ending slavery was just, they were making money doing other things, so it was not caring, it was a lack of caring.

01:10:56.000 All of a sudden they weren't threatened to lose their slaves, and they were making money doing other things, so they just said, I don't care, whatever, do whatever you want.

01:11:02.000 And it was probably a risk to hold slaves, you know, if you could have a machine that did it for you, or you could have slaves that might end up murdering you or running away and Causing violence so there's less of a threat, you know

01:11:13.000 analogy the humans change evolution as a result of necessity for the most part

01:11:17.000 Not because it's morally just it's just how it's pretty much been throughout the ages. Well, I mean interesting

01:11:23.000 addition to this conversation that could also apply to automation now, right if

01:11:28.000 I mean it's the same thing with your cashier that you see at the checkout of a grocery store or at a restaurant.

01:11:33.000 That's why a lot of people are saying, just like maybe they did slavery industrialization, it's cheaper to automate.

01:11:39.000 So now you no longer have a lot of those like hourly workers.

01:11:42.000 You just have your little self-service scan thing or kiosk where you put in the order.

01:11:46.000 Yeah, nobody wants to work.

01:11:48.000 But it's more than just the kiosks.

01:11:49.000 It's a lot of other... The big problem there is we're not talking about forced labor.

01:11:53.000 We're talking about parts of the economy that are being automated, and then people don't have work, can't get money.

01:12:02.000 This, I think, is one of the reasons we see the rise of socialists.

01:12:05.000 This problem emerges where people, through no real fault of their own... There's a lot of people who don't want to work.

01:12:10.000 It's their fault.

01:12:11.000 There's a lot of people who got automated out of the workplace.

01:12:14.000 And then what do they get told?

01:12:15.000 Learn to code.

01:12:16.000 Not automated, or even just technology displaced them.

01:12:19.000 And they get told, learn to code.

01:12:19.000 Ain't gonna work.

01:12:20.000 So what do you do?

01:12:21.000 Well, we can't just be Luddites and be like, okay, we're banning technology because people need jobs. 1.00

01:12:25.000 That's stupid. 0.99

01:12:26.000 It's supposed to make things easier. 1.00

01:12:27.000 But here's the problem.

01:12:28.000 If we start giving these people money, like UBI, what do you tell the farmer?

01:12:33.000 Who has to work?

01:12:34.000 Well, the people who live in the cities, it's this way right now. 0.95

01:12:38.000 People in New York, well at least before the pandemic, working for media companies are getting paid $30,000, $40,000, $50,000 to write garbage trash articles about nonsense.

01:12:48.000 Meanwhile, people are getting paid minimum wage to pick fruit on a farm. 0.75

01:12:52.000 So how does that make sense?

01:12:54.000 By the left's own standard, they should not be getting that level of pay for what they do.

01:12:59.000 That's gonna be a big problem when we start, when we create UBI.

01:13:04.000 Or if Andrew Yang gets his way in New York City and tries doing some kind of UBI.

01:13:07.000 You mean you're gonna have someone who lives in New York City, of all places, one of the wealthiest places on the planet, getting free money to buy the apples that I pick for dirt wages?

01:13:17.000 I'll just move to New York City.

01:13:19.000 Get free money.

01:13:21.000 Why bother?

01:13:21.000 Yeah, I don't like the job economy thing.

01:13:23.000 The Federal Reserve's obsessed with creating job, creating employment for everyone.

01:13:27.000 They want you to dig a hole and they want you to fill the hole back up and then they're going to loan you money for it and then expect you to pay them back with interest.

01:13:36.000 So they keep everyone busy.

01:13:37.000 And you can see as we're automating that that doesn't work.

01:13:40.000 People don't have things to do and creating, you know, random things that don't benefit society doesn't solve that problem.

01:13:49.000 Well, I think we saw a lot of that kind of rhetoric from Joe Biden's recent like joint session speech, the State of the Union, which we're not calling the State of the Union.

01:13:57.000 But anyway, the idea that, yeah, the government will just make jobs for people to have jobs.

01:14:02.000 But I think the whole problem ultimately is that labor is and is not A commodity, right?

01:14:09.000 It's a commodity in that it responds to supply and demand, but it's not a commodity in the, you know, if you have too many widgets sitting on the shelves, you just stop producing widgets for a while and then eventually you'll sell the ones that were overstocked.

01:14:21.000 That's not true with labor.

01:14:23.000 You have unemployment.

01:14:24.000 People get restless.

01:14:25.000 They need to be fed and things like that.

01:14:26.000 And they riot.

01:14:27.000 And they riot.

01:14:28.000 So I think the problem why this automation is happening at the rate it is, it's a people are campaigning for high minimum wages.

01:14:36.000 Which just makes automation cheaper.

01:14:38.000 And then B, you also have an immigration system that is welcoming in low skilled workers who are competing for jobs that really the people who have those jobs are already in an extremely vulnerable position.

01:14:49.000 So it's just a bad, a bad situation all around.

01:14:52.000 Maybe we just need, you know, an individual of intelligence and merit to just rise up naturally and gain power through the competitive system.

01:15:02.000 Maybe somebody who understands, like, computers, because of, like, you know, someone who's, like, a computer developer of some sort.

01:15:07.000 Like Bill Gates.

01:15:08.000 And then he can start deciding what's best for us.

01:15:10.000 Yeah.

01:15:11.000 Like a technocrat.

01:15:12.000 Like a technocrat.

01:15:13.000 I'm kidding, by the way.

01:15:14.000 Maybe like a dictator.

01:15:16.000 Oh, yeah.

01:15:17.000 Like an artificial intell... No, no, more like Bill Gates.

01:15:20.000 Did I say that already?

01:15:20.000 Like Bill Gates.

01:15:22.000 Yeah, he's not a doctor, but he's got a lot of medical advice for us.

01:15:24.000 Do we need, like, an A.I.

01:15:25.000 that don't... I don't want an A.I.

01:15:28.000 government, but I would like an A.I.

01:15:29.000 advisor for our government.

01:15:31.000 No, but the thing is, an A.I.

01:15:33.000 advisor would be, I think, completely utilitarian.

01:15:38.000 We would not, as human beings, be comfortable with what they recommend, or what it recommends.

01:15:42.000 I don't know.

01:15:43.000 Yeah, they'd be like, Hello, Ian. 0.97

01:15:44.000 You must die today, because it will save three children. 0.95

01:15:48.000 I disagree. 0.98

01:15:49.000 Uh, maybe we could have like 90, uh, artificial intelligence advisors.

01:15:53.000 This is one of the biggest challenges with self-driving cars.

01:15:56.000 Someone has to program in the car.

01:15:58.000 If you're driving in your car and an old lady walks out in front of you, the car has to choose. 1.00

01:16:03.000 Do I crash the car, killing the driver or hit the old lady? 1.00

01:16:08.000 Someone's got to program that. 0.90

01:16:09.000 Yeah.

01:16:10.000 And those are deep philosophical questions that I think even as humans, we don't understand and we need to have debates about, which we aren't really doing right now.

01:16:17.000 We're kind of just like cooking the can down the road, but I don't expect a machine to do it.

01:16:21.000 If you were driving in the car, I was like, Ian, will you die to save her?

01:16:25.000 As you're like heading, you're like, ah!

01:16:26.000 I don't have time to think about that!

01:16:28.000 Some sort of Catholic AI? 0.70

01:16:28.000 Could you imagine like so you mentioned that AI would be utilitarian. 0.70

01:16:32.000 But I think it's the only thing it possibly could be.

01:16:34.000 How could there be an AI that was deontological in that it would say Catholic AI. 0.77

01:16:39.000 I don't know.

01:16:40.000 But no but but imagine it's like it has to save everybody but it's not possible.

01:16:46.000 So it's like, imagine you're in this scenario where the car is driving, and the old lady... Let's say something happens through... It's a no-fault scenario. 0.79

01:16:54.000 No one is at fault.

01:16:56.000 Just... Something happens.

01:16:57.000 Avalanche.

01:16:58.000 No, no.

01:16:59.000 There's gotta be two people that... One person's gonna... It's a zero-sum game where one person lives, one person dies.

01:17:04.000 The AI, if it was deontological, it could not commit an immoral act against any individual.

01:17:10.000 So it would recognize, one person's gonna die no matter what, I don't know which one, but you have- So you have to let both die in that case, because otherwise you'd be making a choice that would lead to someone else's death.

01:17:20.000 Yeah, I guess it would let the five people die on the trolley.

01:17:23.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:17:24.000 Instead of the one, the utilitarian would let the one person die.

01:17:26.000 Yeah. 0.64

01:17:27.000 I would let the one person die. 0.91

01:17:28.000 And it's like my, my husband, he's Catholic and he studies philosophy.

01:17:31.000 And he often tells me that I'm too utilitarian because he is, you know, deontological like that.

01:17:36.000 Whereas I'm, I'm, I like to think of it as pragmatism.

01:17:40.000 What's the difference between deontological and utilitarian?

01:17:43.000 Oh my gosh, so this is where Liam would come in handy.

01:17:45.000 And it's funny because he's explained this to me so many times, but I tend to tune out when he talks.

01:17:49.000 It's all oversimplified for you.

01:17:51.000 Spock is a utilitarian and Captain America is a deontologist.

01:17:56.000 It's very simple.

01:17:57.000 Spock said, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

01:18:00.000 Captain America says we don't trade lives.

01:18:01.000 Right.

01:18:02.000 Yes, that is good.

01:18:03.000 deontologicals more like?

01:18:05.000 The idea that an immoral act against an individual, like you are barred from

01:18:10.000 The ends do not justify the means, I guess.

01:18:12.000 Which the bad guys tend to be utilitarian, I guess in the instance of Spock he wasn't,

01:18:16.000 but that's, I'm not a fan of utilitarianism.

01:18:18.000 It's where like, there's, the problem with it is that you start,

01:18:22.000 it's very much like the equity argument.

01:18:24.000 You start trying to decide what about someone is worth more than something else.

01:18:28.000 Well, I mean, not to bring up the Avengers, but that's why Thanos was in favor of the Infinity Stones just randomly selecting half the people because he believed the world was over, or the universe was overpopulated. 1.00

01:18:41.000 What an idiot. 1.00

01:18:42.000 He was really dumb. 1.00

01:18:43.000 Yeah, the book made him better. 1.00

01:18:45.000 He was trying to please a woman. 0.97

01:18:46.000 Did you read the comic?

01:18:47.000 Well, he was trying to please death.

01:18:48.000 Mistress Death.

01:18:49.000 Yeah, he wanted her to love him.

01:18:51.000 That's worse.

01:18:51.000 The movie thing is more poignant.

01:18:53.000 Right, right.

01:18:53.000 The movie is updated.

01:18:55.000 It was originally.

01:18:56.000 Yeah, he's utilitarian. 0.86

01:18:57.000 He says, kill half of the universe to protect the other half.

01:19:00.000 But, and then what? 0.63

01:19:01.000 A few generations, you're back to where you started?

01:19:03.000 It's a terrible idea.

01:19:04.000 And someone, I saw someone else, there's a meme where they're like, why didn't he just double the amount of resources by snapping his fingers?

01:19:10.000 Yeah, because he's a bad guy.

01:19:11.000 Good question. 0.99

01:19:12.000 Because he was trying to, because he wanted a woman, mistress death. 0.99

01:19:16.000 So here's my issue with the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

01:19:20.000 You know, the equity thing, right?

01:19:21.000 They say, oh, this person is more deserving than that person for this reason.

01:19:24.000 You mentioned it with the sandwich.

01:19:25.000 Yes.

01:19:26.000 The child's view, the child who has no experience, no wisdom, sees a hungry person and a well-fed person and says, give the sandwich to the hungry person.

01:19:36.000 And what the wise person says is, well, hold on.

01:19:40.000 Why is this person starving?

01:19:42.000 And why is this person well-fed?

01:19:44.000 Who made the sandwich?

01:19:45.000 There's a lot more questions than just, I'm going to give it to you.

01:19:48.000 So when it comes to utilitarianism, Here's the version of the trolley problem I have.

01:19:55.000 You know the trolley problem.

01:19:57.000 Right, there's a trolley going down a track and you have the switch and you have to decide if it's gonna go down a track and kill one person or go to this track and kill five or something like that.

01:20:04.000 There's a trolley heading down a track with five people on it. 0.92

01:20:09.000 It will hit and kill all five people. 0.66

01:20:11.000 You can pull a lever to switch the track with only one person on it. 0.98

01:20:16.000 The act of switching the lever condemns the one person who was safe to begin with.

01:20:22.000 Would you kill that one person by your choice who was safe to save five people?

01:20:28.000 So the darker side of me says, who is that person?

01:20:31.000 But, and who are the other five?

01:20:32.000 But I mean, just philosophically speaking, I would.

01:20:35.000 Okay, now here's the bigger question.

01:20:38.000 There's a bunch of iterations of the trolley problem.

01:20:40.000 Let's try it.

01:20:41.000 Ian, what would you do? 0.99

01:20:42.000 Would you let the trolley kill the five people, or would you choose to kill the person who lives? 0.99

01:20:45.000 No, no. 1.00

01:20:45.000 If I had a split-second decision, I would kill one instead of five. 1.00

01:20:48.000 I would have to make a decision. 0.99

01:20:49.000 So that means that one person who would have normally lived, you are choosing to kill them to save those five. 0.88

01:20:54.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:20:54.000 Yes. 0.99

01:20:54.000 Okay. 0.99

01:20:55.000 Now let's say the one person has the cure for cancer.

01:20:58.000 Exactly.

01:20:58.000 That's the problem.

01:20:59.000 And you know it.

01:21:00.000 And you know it.

01:21:00.000 Oh.

01:21:01.000 I'd kill the five. 1.00

01:21:03.000 You'd let the five die. 1.00

01:21:03.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:21:04.000 See, that's where things become problematic with utilitarianism.

01:21:08.000 You... Now let's play another game.

01:21:10.000 The five people are critical race theorists, and the one person is Jordan Peterson.

01:21:15.000 I love Jordan Peterson.

01:21:15.000 So you're saying the five have the cancer and the one has the cure.

01:21:19.000 Basically, yeah.

01:21:20.000 No, no!

01:21:21.000 What I'm saying is, there's five prominent critical race theorists, and one prominent, you know, anti-woke.

01:21:28.000 I feel like I can't answer this without people calling me a murderous extremist, though, because of... And the crazy thing, this is what the government does.

01:21:35.000 This is their job.

01:21:36.000 It's to decide who lives, who dies, who gets the money.

01:21:38.000 Let's take it out of American politics.

01:21:39.000 It's, uh, there's five supporters of Vladimir Putin.

01:21:43.000 And no, this doesn't, this doesn't work.

01:21:44.000 Uh, yeah, wait, wait, hold on.

01:21:45.000 Okay.

01:21:45.000 Yeah.

01:21:46.000 Five supporters of Vladimir Putin and one opposition activist who's prominent.

01:21:50.000 Save the one you'd save the one.

01:21:54.000 So the issue is, now... You're making moral judgments over whose life is... Based on your subjective view of what is right and what is wrong.

01:22:01.000 That's the problem with utilitarianism.

01:22:02.000 And they'll do like, there's, you know, they'll say like, I don't like saying black and white people, but let's just, for whatever reason, there's ten black people that, and by the numbers say that they make less money, so...

01:22:14.000 But then there's five white people and the numbers say they make more money. 0.67

01:22:17.000 So where are we going to send the money? 0.94

01:22:18.000 We're going to send it to these ten black people. 1.00

01:22:20.000 But you find out later, these ten black people make way more money than these five white people.

01:22:23.000 They were just going by the numbers in the book and making these brand utilitarian decisions.

01:22:27.000 Or they were going by capital gains and not by hours worked.

01:22:31.000 But I mean, I understand the criticism that you through utilitarianism, you're necessarily like putting your moral values onto the situation.

01:22:39.000 But I guess like in business, they say even making no decision is making a decision.

01:22:43.000 So I my response to that would be that it's impossible from like an ontological perspective to avoid that.

01:22:50.000 Most people... I think most people say they wouldn't pull the lever.

01:22:53.000 They would ignore it.

01:22:55.000 They don't want anything to do with it?

01:22:56.000 Because you are choosing... So right now, the five people on the track, they're in that circumstance having nothing to do with you.

01:23:03.000 If you intervene, you make the choice to kill someone.

01:23:06.000 So most people say, I wouldn't get involved.

01:23:08.000 But it's essentially whether the ends justify the means.

01:23:11.000 Like, in the scenario, if you kill someone, Essentially, you make the choice to pull that lever.

01:23:17.000 It does end with five people being alive versus five people being dead.

01:23:22.000 So you both said you'd pull the lever to save the five, right?

01:23:25.000 Yeah.

01:23:25.000 What if it's five 80-year-olds and one baby?

01:23:28.000 I pull the lever. 0.99

01:23:29.000 Or sorry, like I kill the 80-year-olds. 0.77

01:23:31.000 Yeah, I don't pull the lever.

01:23:32.000 Yeah.

01:23:32.000 Yeah, I don't know that circumstance.

01:23:33.000 You let them die.

01:23:34.000 Yeah.

01:23:34.000 So that's the problem with utilitarianism.

01:23:37.000 You have a personal subjective moral view on who should live or die.

01:23:40.000 And it's sometimes, I don't think that's a problem of utilitarianism versus just an

01:23:45.000 aspect of any philosophical grounding.

01:23:48.000 Yeah.

01:23:48.000 It's like, it's based on, um, what, what do they call it?

01:23:52.000 When like you get, you get the numbers of how many people live in this demographics.

01:23:56.000 It's based on like demographic, you know, book numbers in a book.

01:23:59.000 Like they don't know who needs what, but they're giving it to people based on what they read.

01:24:04.000 I guess like my, my view of utilitarianism is that you are accepting the fact that losses or deaths will happen.

01:24:11.000 And then you approach the problem in order to minimize the losses and maximize the gain.

01:24:15.000 So I approach it almost like business.

01:24:17.000 You guys have seen all the memes that have popped up about the trolley problem?

01:24:20.000 Yeah.

01:24:20.000 My favorite one is it's one single track with a ton of people just getting crushed.

01:24:23.000 Yeah, I've seen that lately.

01:24:24.000 And it says, you can stop the trolley at any time, but it would cause a loss of corporate profits.

01:24:32.000 Like, people are getting run over.

01:24:33.000 Oh my gosh.

01:24:35.000 It's funny because there's corporations that function that way.

01:24:38.000 Like that Monsters, Inc.

01:24:39.000 meme, like, I'd let a thousand children die before I let this company burn.

01:24:44.000 Or go under, whatever. 0.53

01:24:45.000 Yeah, man.

01:24:47.000 So these are the tough questions we're getting into now with technology, AI, with the Great Reset, with climate change.

01:24:53.000 With healthcare even.

01:24:54.000 If you're especially Canadian or coming from the NHS system, there are calls that need to be made and there's limited resources to go around.

01:25:02.000 Yeah, I love how these leftists tweet that there's no such thing as scarcity.

01:25:06.000 There was a story about some kid in, like, Alabama or something.

01:25:09.000 He needed gene therapy that would cure his disease, and it was like a million dollars.

01:25:13.000 And the state was like, we can't pay that, sorry.

01:25:16.000 And then people were complaining, like, you have to pay it, otherwise he dies, like, you have no choice.

01:25:21.000 And they were like, it's a million dollars.

01:25:23.000 And they're like, what's the value of a life?

01:25:25.000 And it's like, yeah, but we don't have it.

01:25:28.000 Like, we could tax everybody, I guess.

01:25:30.000 What's the cost of a human life?

01:25:32.000 Um, there's actual numbers you can look up in terms of how the market values human life.

01:25:36.000 Yep.

01:25:37.000 I think it's like $180,000 or something.

01:25:38.000 Is what it's worth or what it costs?

01:25:40.000 Yeah, based on the organs that could be sold or something.

01:25:41.000 Yeah.

01:25:42.000 I see.

01:25:43.000 That's a tough number to figure out, because what could they contribute to society?

01:25:47.000 What are they going to take away from society?

01:25:48.000 Well, that's why I mean, like, life insurance proves that not everybody's life is worth the same, because not everyone's going to get the same payout if they die.

01:25:54.000 Also, I watch a lot of, like, murder crimes.

01:25:56.000 Like, don't get life insurance if you're on rocky grounds with your spouse.

01:26:00.000 Yeah.

01:26:00.000 That's just what I'm going to say.

01:26:01.000 If you're fighting with your wife and she says she wants to sign you a new life insurance policy... Just, yeah, be skeptical.

01:26:06.000 But, I mean, the whole issue of scarcity is when, like you were saying, the left does not understand, and I think that's the reason why we have so many of these economic questions regarding things like minimum wage, regarding healthcare, is that they don't want to accept that scarcity is a real thing.

01:26:19.000 Even regarding, like, the housing situation.

01:26:22.000 Yep.

01:26:22.000 Yeah.

01:26:23.000 I, you know, the, the oil and gas industry and the copper industry has been holding us back from fusion generation and like atomic printing and like a land of less scarcity, if not total, you know, dissolution of scarcity.

01:26:36.000 But, and I think the critical theorists see that.

01:26:39.000 And so they, they're acting as if they've already won.

01:26:42.000 It applies to everything.

01:26:43.000 Yeah.

01:26:44.000 And it's not yet.

01:26:45.000 So, so there's massive scarcity right now.

01:26:48.000 It's severely difficult to get materials into the middle of the desert right now.

01:26:53.000 Maybe that'll change one day, but... You know what's really crazy?

01:26:55.000 Just like, because you mentioned the desert.

01:26:58.000 Las Vegas is being terraformed.

01:27:00.000 Or reclaimed.

01:27:01.000 Oh, I heard that.

01:27:02.000 Yeah, because they're bringing grass in.

01:27:03.000 And then here's the craziest thing.

01:27:05.000 You know what's changing the landscape of Las Vegas more than anything else?

01:27:08.000 Human beings going to the bathroom.

01:27:10.000 Huh.

01:27:11.000 Huh.

01:27:11.000 Fertilizer.

01:27:12.000 They fly on planes and they have water in their systems and they land and they deposit water.

01:27:17.000 Wow.

01:27:18.000 They bring food in with them and they bring in more water than they take out.

01:27:22.000 That's interesting.

01:27:23.000 It's really crazy.

01:27:24.000 I was reading about it and they said food is the biggest contributor to the reclamation of Las Vegas as well as grass.

01:27:30.000 They're shipping in water, they're planting grass, the grass helps retain moisture and they're turning a desert into That's interesting because I think they're trying something along China's border as well with the Gobi Desert to prevent desertification.

01:27:45.000 They're planting almost like a green wall or something to try to provide a barrier.

01:27:50.000 They're doing that in the southern Sahara.

01:27:53.000 They planted all these trees to stop the desert from spreading.

01:27:55.000 We got to start just doing those projects.

01:27:57.000 It's like, we want to go to Mars and stuff.

01:27:58.000 That's cool, too.

01:27:58.000 But let's also, like, reclaim all these deserts.

01:28:00.000 Yeah, that Sahara sand is ocean sand.

01:28:03.000 They find seashells and stuff.

01:28:04.000 It seems like it's from the Great Flood.

01:28:05.000 That's why there's so much oil.

01:28:06.000 It's because you have all the microorganisms that kind of... Oh, interesting.

01:28:10.000 Yeah, that's why there's oil.

01:28:11.000 We could put it back in the ocean.

01:28:12.000 That's something I want to do.

01:28:13.000 Dude, the Sahara's massive.

01:28:14.000 I know.

01:28:15.000 Just dig it on.

01:28:15.000 Build drones that can just carry it into the ocean.

01:28:18.000 It's like thousands of miles.

01:28:19.000 Dump it.

01:28:20.000 Just all day.

01:28:20.000 What if they just dug a massive trench from the middle of the Sahara all the way to the western coast and just let the water flood it?

01:28:26.000 Like a river?

01:28:27.000 Yeah, probably.

01:28:28.000 That'd be cool.

01:28:29.000 New beachfront property.

01:28:30.000 It's all saltwater, though.

01:28:31.000 You can't really do anything with it.

01:28:33.000 I don't think it's within the capabilities of human beings right now.

01:28:35.000 I mean, no, it is, but not within the willpower.

01:28:37.000 That would be a great global human cause, is to fix the Sahara, re-greenify the Sahara, because it used to be like a jungle, like a forest with rivers and rain.

01:28:47.000 And it's the desert spreading.

01:28:49.000 So it's just destroying organic matter, and then water gets ripped out and can't be held.

01:28:53.000 What's spreading it?

01:28:54.000 Is it the wind?

01:28:55.000 Yeah, it spreads the sand and stuff like that.

01:28:57.000 Makes it harder for plants to grow.

01:28:58.000 And so, what's happening in Vegas is humans are rejecting it.

01:29:02.000 Humans are, like, forcing stuff to go there.

01:29:05.000 We're such a part of our ecosystem.

01:29:07.000 Like, I was thinking of the animals that eat the fruit, that carry it, and then they crap out the seeds over there, and then it plants the tree, and, like, we're like, that's us.

01:29:14.000 Isn't soil just, like, dead stuff?

01:29:16.000 Isn't dirt, like, outside just dead stuff?

01:29:18.000 I think so.

01:29:20.000 We just live on the cemeteries of all the billions of organisms that came before us.

01:29:24.000 All that dirt?

01:29:26.000 I gotta find out because I've heard that before.

01:29:28.000 What is dirt?

01:29:29.000 I'm pretty sure it's like decayed organic matter.

01:29:32.000 It just like rots there and then the plants grow out of it.

01:29:34.000 Just the rotting corpses of the billions of animals and bacteria and plants.

01:29:39.000 And we're walking on top of it.

01:29:41.000 Yeah.

01:29:42.000 Wow.

01:29:42.000 All right, let's see it.

01:29:43.000 What is it?

01:29:44.000 All right.

01:29:44.000 Is dirt dead organic matter?

01:29:45.000 Dirt is dead.

01:29:47.000 It has none of the minerals, nutrients, or living organisms found in soil.

01:29:50.000 It is not an organized ecosystem.

01:29:53.000 There is no topsoil or hummus or worms.

01:29:55.000 Yeah, no, look up soil.

01:29:55.000 Dirt is dead and does not... Okay, I'll look up... What is soil?

01:29:58.000 Yeah, well, like, dirt's different.

01:30:00.000 Dirt's like the gritty stuff on the sidewalk, you know what I mean?

01:30:02.000 Sand, yeah.

01:30:02.000 Is soil dead organic?

01:30:05.000 So, like, when you walk out into, like, the forest, all the ground is, like, that's, like, decaying organic matter, isn't it?

01:30:10.000 Yeah, because when the trees fall, it just stays there and then it decays.

01:30:15.000 Oh, the well-decomposed organic matter in soil, the very dead, is called humus.

01:30:20.000 Humus.

01:30:21.000 Humus.

01:30:21.000 Yeah.

01:30:22.000 I'm learning new things today.

01:30:24.000 I like roasted garlic humus.

01:30:26.000 Okay.

01:30:27.000 It's a different kind of humus.

01:30:28.000 Some use the term humus to describe all soil organic matter, some use it to describe just the part you can't see without a microscope.

01:30:33.000 Interesting.

01:30:34.000 I don't know, so maybe part of soil is humus?

01:30:37.000 We are standing on a mass grave of life.

01:30:40.000 And we don't even realize, we don't even care.

01:30:42.000 I mean, that's also what oil is.

01:30:43.000 That's what's powering most things for us.

01:30:46.000 Yup.

01:30:47.000 Yeah.

01:30:48.000 What a crazy reality.

01:30:49.000 I know.

01:30:49.000 Creepy.

01:30:51.000 Let's read some super chats!

01:30:53.000 If you haven't already, please, my friends, you must smash that like button.

01:30:56.000 But I'm going to start saying something more and more often.

01:30:59.000 A lot of people say, like, what can we do?

01:31:01.000 You know, we believe in the things you guys talk about.

01:31:04.000 And we said yesterday with Jack, it really is sharing.

01:31:08.000 I mean, it is.

01:31:09.000 You can call it a shameless blog, like, make sure you share the show, but think about it.

01:31:11.000 If people are only getting CNN, how do we beat CNN?

01:31:15.000 I mean, their ratings on TV are down, but their ratings on YouTube are massive.

01:31:19.000 If people choose to take this video and put it on their Facebooks, on their Twitters, it would be exponential.

01:31:25.000 If every day, every single person who watched shared, it would be an exponential growth.

01:31:28.000 It would be bigger than CNN overnight.

01:31:30.000 It's really about your willingness to engage in that way.

01:31:33.000 And maybe it's not my show, but Steven Crowder or Project Veritas, share all of it.

01:31:40.000 And tell other people to share it.

01:31:41.000 Or Lauren's show.

01:31:43.000 What is your show?

01:31:44.000 I'm shouting Crowder out. 1.00

01:31:45.000 Yeah, alright, thanks.

01:31:46.000 You can find me on YouTube, Bitchute, Rumble, Odyssey, Lauren Chan, or at the Lauren Chan on Twitter or Instagram.

01:31:53.000 I try to be the same username everywhere and on all platforms.

01:31:56.000 I'm so into creating a community, or community in general, with the internet video.

01:32:04.000 Gotta share.

01:32:04.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:32:06.000 And work together.

01:32:07.000 Think about it this way.

01:32:09.000 The people who share CNN do it mindlessly.

01:32:11.000 They see Don Lemon and they click and they post share.

01:32:14.000 That's crazy to me.

01:32:15.000 Flexive.

01:32:15.000 How is it that CNN is able to muster up more shares on their content than the active people who are actually paying attention and want change to happen?

01:32:23.000 Probably name recognition?

01:32:25.000 I think it's just because there's a lot of regular, normal people who just click the share on CNN and they're not paying attention.

01:32:30.000 Well, I think it's like, it is that name recognition.

01:32:33.000 It's like, oh, CNN, news, share news.

01:32:35.000 Bart Simpson was put in a remedial classroom and he said, we're supposed to catch up to them by going slower than they are?

01:32:44.000 Yeah, so that means if we're on a treadmill and we're slowly moving backwards when we stand still, so we decide to just walk forward, we're staying where we are.

01:32:54.000 Meanwhile, CNN's got that natural push.

01:32:56.000 YouTube puts them on the front page.

01:32:58.000 Regular people know CNN, they share it.

01:33:00.000 CNN gets put in movies like Iron Man and stuff.

01:33:02.000 That means we've got to be running on that treadmill.

01:33:05.000 Yeah, their treadmill's going slower, because the algorithm is sharing it more for them, so they don't have to run as hard as we do.

01:33:12.000 I think we're on that path, though.

01:33:13.000 I think CNN's not long for this business market.

01:33:16.000 No, because you don't get as much of a workout.

01:33:18.000 CNN's treadmill's not moving at all, man.

01:33:20.000 They just stand there.

01:33:21.000 Bro, they get hundreds of millions of views per— YouTube, they're being propped up.

01:33:25.000 Haven't their views dipped, though, since Trump got out?

01:33:28.000 Only on, probably yes on YouTube, but mostly it's TV ratings.

01:33:32.000 On YouTube, it's like hundreds of millions of views.

01:33:35.000 Hundreds of millions.

01:33:36.000 Like four or five times what Crowder gets, you know, uh, six, you know, five or six times what we get.

01:33:43.000 The weird thing about YouTube news is I can't tell the difference of what's an NBC video, what's an MSNBC, what's a CNN.

01:33:49.000 When I see the thumbnail, I don't know.

01:33:51.000 I just see the face and the words and I click it or don't.

01:33:54.000 Well, what's annoying about YouTube, the way their news algorithm works, is that I know, at least in Canada, the authoritative sources are things like CBC and CTV, which no one watches.

01:34:03.000 Exactly.

01:34:04.000 You'll be on the front page and you'll see these stories and it'll be like, published five hours ago, 2,000 views, front page of YouTube.

01:34:12.000 But it's like, OK, well, that that's definitely AstroTurf.

01:34:15.000 Like, that's not organic.

01:34:17.000 They're showing them favoritism.

01:34:19.000 CNN's main channel, just one of their channels, gets 141 million views in the past 30 days.

01:34:25.000 They gain over 100,000 subscribers a month.

01:34:28.000 We're competing with them.

01:34:29.000 I wonder what their marketing budget is like for those.

01:34:32.000 Crazy.

01:34:33.000 This Timcast marketing budget is, I think, close to zero.

01:34:36.000 Relatively zero.

01:34:37.000 Organic, yeah.

01:34:38.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:34:38.000 We haven't, like, pumped $40 million a year into marketing or whatever the heck those companies do.

01:34:44.000 The only commercial we've run so far is recently on Will of the People, the song.

01:34:48.000 For no other reason than vanity.

01:34:51.000 It's made to be listened to, so we'll promote it.

01:34:52.000 So we're gonna start doing marketing for sure.

01:34:54.000 We're gonna start doing more.

01:34:55.000 Ben and culture daily wire.

01:34:57.000 They push tons, tons of marketing.

01:35:00.000 Very good.

01:35:00.000 And that has a good return marketing.

01:35:02.000 So we're going to start doing marketing for sure.

01:35:03.000 We're not doing more right now.

01:35:04.000 It's a social media organic growth, but that's why it's like, look, if there's

01:35:08.000 one thing you can do, you can become a member at Tim cast.com.

01:35:11.000 Because I'll tell you this, the money that we get from TimCast.com, when you become a member, and that $10 or that $25, whatever you give, goes into the account for us, it's going towards us hiring more people, doing more shows, and building more and more and more.

01:35:24.000 So it's not just that you are buying a membership to get access to exclusives, you're actually buying the expansion of what we do.

01:35:31.000 So if you like what we do, No, like we're not gonna be, I know this is gonna break your heart, Ian, we're not buying an infinity pool.

01:35:36.000 I'm sad, Tim.

01:35:37.000 We are gonna get a hot tub.

01:35:39.000 Well, now I'm happy.

01:35:40.000 But it's gonna be powered by Dogecoin mining.

01:35:42.000 I've heard!

01:35:44.000 Salt water hot tub?

01:35:45.000 I don't know, the plan was to get a bunch of GPUs and have them mine Dogecoin so it heats the water and then you get a hot tub.

01:35:51.000 I hear you can get an ozone hot tub.

01:35:52.000 The ozone cleans the water.

01:35:54.000 We're going to mine Dogecoin.

01:35:56.000 I'm into it!

01:35:57.000 To the moon, baby!

01:35:59.000 The hot tub will be the cooling system.

01:36:01.000 Yes, the hot tub is the coolest system.

01:36:03.000 I love it.

01:36:04.000 Hey, also when you subscribe to this channel and Lauren's channel, click the bell button.

01:36:08.000 Yes.

01:36:09.000 Because then you'll get notified when the videos go live.

01:36:11.000 And then go to the top URL bar, click Control C and then go to Instagram and Facebook and Twitter and wherever you can and just paste it.

01:36:18.000 And call your mom if you haven't talked to her in a while.

01:36:19.000 Let's read some Super Chats! 0.91

01:36:21.000 Alright, Stupid Spin Videos says, What's the difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth? 0.98

01:36:28.000 About six to twelve months. 0.97

01:36:29.000 That's true.

01:36:30.000 That's a good one.

01:36:32.000 Dude, AMC hit, what, 28 bucks today?

01:36:34.000 Did you see that?

01:36:34.000 I'm not following it, no.

01:36:35.000 I hear DeSandra keeps tweeting about it.

01:36:37.000 She's pumped.

01:36:38.000 I bought some AMC, like, literally a very, very small amount.

01:36:41.000 Because I like going to the movies.

01:36:44.000 And I thought that there's, like, I saw their stock and people were talking about it.

01:36:46.000 I'm like, dude, their stock's gonna go up when the movies come back.

01:36:49.000 Because they're doing a bunch of releases only in theaters soon.

01:36:52.000 And I'm like, dude, I love going to the movies.

01:36:54.000 I miss it.

01:36:55.000 Yeah, it's like what like once a week every weekend It's like we let's go to the movies and we do and then we

01:37:00.000 go out for pizza or something That was it. That was the night out and they got rid of it

01:37:03.000 and it's not fun Just turn the TV on and watch an HBO Max or whatever. Yeah

01:37:07.000 boring So we have like a big projector, but it's not the same

01:37:09.000 You know you do.

01:37:10.000 You got some good popcorn there.

01:37:12.000 Yeah, and I'm only satisfied when I spend $20 on a box of Sour Patch Kids.

01:37:16.000 It's true.

01:37:16.000 It's gotta be expensive.

01:37:18.000 $10 soda.

01:37:19.000 I like when you go into the movie when it's light out, and then you come out and it's dark.

01:37:22.000 Yeah.

01:37:22.000 My dad's, he's weird though.

01:37:24.000 He puts snacks in my purse to sniff in.

01:37:27.000 Oh, legit.

01:37:28.000 But he's Asian, so they get increasingly complex. 0.85

01:37:31.000 He gave me sauteed squid once.

01:37:32.000 Wait, what?

01:37:33.000 Dad, why?

01:37:35.000 All right, John Lee says, Hey Tim, I know you are busy with the other website and stuff, but I just want to ask, is the chicken stream going to be on the new website?

01:37:42.000 And do I need to pay another membership for the new website?

01:37:46.000 Timcast.com is, there's no, that's it.

01:37:49.000 If you're a member of Timcast.com, you're good.

01:37:51.000 All the content's going to be there.

01:37:53.000 Chicken City is going to be a live YouTube channel and we're getting a chicken whisperer to come out to help us get it set up.

01:38:01.000 Oh yeah.

01:38:01.000 And then it's just, you know, we're going to have merch.

01:38:03.000 So we have seven chickens now.

01:38:04.000 We had six before, but we adopted Dorothy.

01:38:06.000 She's older.

01:38:07.000 And so there's going to be, she probably won't be part of the crew, but we're going to do merch.

01:38:12.000 So there's going to be like a picture of, you know, like Vanessa, Margaret, Sarah, they all have names.

01:38:17.000 And there'll be shirts designed based on each individual chicken.

01:38:19.000 And then you can support those chickens by buying those shirts.

01:38:23.000 We were trying to feed Team Vanessa.

01:38:25.000 Dorothy saw Margaret.

01:38:26.000 Oh, it was Margaret earlier?

01:38:27.000 Yeah, because she wasn't eating cicadas.

01:38:28.000 She wouldn't eat the cicadas.

01:38:29.000 Yeah, but me and the cat were sitting right next to the chicken, and the chicken was flipping out, so I think that was... I took Buck away, so I didn't feed her.

01:38:36.000 Whenever I throw in the cicadas, Margaret won't... She just looks at them and, like, pecks them a little, and, like, gets scared. 0.89

01:38:40.000 She's not interested.

01:38:41.000 She used to be the biggest one, too. 1.00

01:38:43.000 And then Dorothy, who's older than everyone, just one-shots all the cicadas, just like... It's like Homer eating donuts.

01:38:50.000 So we gotta, like, push her back.

01:38:51.000 Like, dude, you had 12 already.

01:38:52.000 You're gonna get sick.

01:38:53.000 Let the other chickens have a go at it, but we'll be getting it up soon. 0.97

01:38:57.000 There's challenges in, like, we'll use GoPros because they're waterproof-ish, but they still have to be plugged in all the time.

01:39:04.000 So we'll figure it out, but we'll try and get it set up.

01:39:07.000 I think in this next weekend, I think we should be getting it set up.

01:39:10.000 And it's going to be a 24-7 live stream.

01:39:12.000 We need to hire a composer.

01:39:13.000 We need someone who writes music so that we can get about a couple hours worth of lo-fi hip-hop beats to watch Chicken City 2 and then just have the stream going.

01:39:22.000 All right, OMGPUPPY says, check out the UFO debunking videos on YouTube.

01:39:26.000 David Falch shows some of them are IR images of aircraft.

01:39:30.000 Thunderfoot has demonstrated some are birds and camera aperture artifacts.

01:39:34.000 So what, you're saying the government is lying about aliens now?

01:39:37.000 Yeah, that's what I was gonna say.

01:39:38.000 Like, I feel like the government knows about stuff.

01:39:40.000 Like, the military intelligence would probably have ways to check that?

01:39:43.000 I would think so, yeah.

01:39:44.000 I would think.

01:39:45.000 Alright, we got a two-parter here from Steven Valdez.

01:39:47.000 Second, Tim, what is your advice concerning cryptocurrency?

01:39:51.000 I don't have any advice for you.

01:39:52.000 I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.

01:39:53.000 I love it.

01:39:54.000 I think there's a common... Bitcoin, to me, is... Bitcoin is the only truly decentralized, you know, gold value system.

01:40:04.000 Everything else is a company, you know, for the most part.

01:40:07.000 The Dogecoin is kind of decentralized, but it's a lot weaker.

01:40:10.000 It's alright.

01:40:11.000 Bitcoin is truly decentralized, deflationary.

01:40:13.000 No one can take it over.

01:40:14.000 They can try, but there's people fighting, you know.

01:40:17.000 Ethereum is basically like buying a resource that a company owns and controls, so.

01:40:22.000 But I like cryptocurrency.

01:40:24.000 I'm gonna be buying more of it.

01:40:26.000 Steven says, Lauren, will we see an Asian president in our lifetime?

01:40:30.000 I don't know.

01:40:31.000 I would rather see a competent president, personally.

01:40:35.000 That's where my interests lie more.

01:40:37.000 So you're saying, yes, you want an Asian president?

01:40:38.000 Yeah.

01:40:40.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:40:41.000 I don't really care about stuff like that, though.

01:40:43.000 Much more about Asia.

01:40:45.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:40:46.000 I think, you know, in our lifetimes?

01:40:49.000 How old are you?

01:40:50.000 I think so.

01:40:50.000 I got a good 50, 60 years.

01:40:53.000 Clay Chapman says, Tim, if we get a video to 100k likes, can we be rewarded with guest shoe on head?

01:40:58.000 All right, here we go.

01:40:59.000 Everyone listening right now.

01:41:01.000 If we can reach 100,000 likes, And shoe on head chooses to come on the show.

01:41:07.000 Or if just shoe on head chooses to come on the show, then we'll have shoe on head because

01:41:12.000 she's already been invited and she just doesn't want to come on the show, I guess.

01:41:15.000 So there you go.

01:41:16.000 Get us to 100,000 likes anyway.

01:41:18.000 Yeah, let's go.

01:41:19.000 Tristan Rosario says, Tim, I'm a conservative game designer.

01:41:24.000 Shout out my game, Our Dilemma, available in early access on itch.io, where there's a link to my Patreon.

01:41:31.000 I also sent you an email titled, Narrative Designer for FPS Game, where you can see my work.

01:41:36.000 Right on.

01:41:37.000 Cool.

01:41:39.000 Don't Need to Know says, you're being shadow banned.

01:41:41.000 Didn't get notifications.

01:41:42.000 Couldn't find it on my subscribed list.

01:41:44.000 Had to go to your page to get it on here.

01:41:46.000 Which means you should take the URL and share it with as many people as you can because this is, that's the point.

01:41:52.000 Also, had you clicked the bell button, I want to know.

01:41:55.000 I know you just super chatted.

01:41:56.000 It's hard.

01:41:57.000 Apparently that's how you get the notifications.

01:41:58.000 No, but I mean, it's, it's kind of a roll of the dice.

01:42:00.000 I have notifications on for some channels, but sometimes I won't get them or I'll get them way later.

01:42:05.000 Even if it's a live, I'll get them after they're already off.

01:42:07.000 Getting them way later isn't always a bad thing, because they don't want to send it to literally every single person at the same time.

01:42:13.000 Then you get less views, actually.

01:42:15.000 So they delay it and stagger it.

01:42:17.000 But the system's imperfect.

01:42:18.000 I will say it's a free marketing system.

01:42:21.000 Yeah, it's pretty amazing.

01:42:22.000 It's free marketing.

01:42:23.000 Look, so the people who are telling me this, you chose to come to this show, you know when it is, you know when it's live.

01:42:29.000 Could you imagine if people's TVs automatically just popped up Tucker Carlson every day?

01:42:33.000 They don't do that.

01:42:34.000 You have to choose to watch Tucker.

01:42:36.000 You have to choose to watch us.

01:42:37.000 It is beneficial to us when YouTube recommends us, though.

01:42:39.000 All right.

01:42:40.000 Darun Albain says, Tim, buy the Tesla power backup.

01:42:43.000 Store the external part till you get a new building up and just charge from the grid plus propane generator.

01:42:48.000 If the propane generator is only for the battery charging, you will not need three to four of them.

01:42:52.000 You can only get them with solar panels.

01:42:54.000 But the good news is we are getting solar.

01:42:58.000 We were trying to wait until we got a better roof because we're going to redo the garage.

01:43:02.000 But at this point, with the power getting knocked out the other day.

01:43:05.000 Yeah.

01:43:06.000 We'll just get the batteries.

01:43:07.000 Thanks for that super chat, by the way.

01:43:08.000 Yeah.

01:43:11.000 Fine Castle says, nothing makes my day like Tim having one of my favorite Canadians on.

01:43:15.000 Love your content, Lauren.

01:43:16.000 Speaking of Canadians, will you ever interview Tom McDonald?

01:43:20.000 Tom has an open invite.

01:43:22.000 I've spoken with him, but you know, he's a big shot, man.

01:43:25.000 It's like, come on.

01:43:25.000 He's busy.

01:43:26.000 Yeah, he's a busy guy.

01:43:27.000 He's super famous.

01:43:29.000 I would be very, very grateful for him to come on this show, but you know, busy guy.

01:43:36.000 Westside power sports see do parts says Tim you keep asking people to share this video, but Facebook has throttled my page so bad.

01:43:44.000 I get little to no response despite having 2,000 plus friends I can't think I can thank them though.

01:43:49.000 I now spend little to no time on Facebook.

01:43:51.000 Oh, you know That same thing happened to me.

01:43:54.000 So weird.

01:43:55.000 Yeah, I'm optimistic for that stuff, you know.

01:43:57.000 So maybe we'll see what happens.

01:43:58.000 Maybe we are on a good track.

01:43:59.000 McDonald up church Adam Calhoun jelly roll struggle Jennings plus music via

01:44:03.000 NFTs decentralization takes time yeah I'm optimistic for that stuff you know so

01:44:09.000 maybe we'll see what happens maybe we are on a good a good track all right BC

01:44:17.000 says Tim I think the letter written to slate is real I worked with a guy who intentionally dehydrated himself so he wouldn't have to leave his office to use the restroom during the workday.

01:44:25.000 Whoa.

01:44:25.000 Yikes.

01:44:26.000 Okay.

01:44:27.000 So I do this on road trips and while traveling.

01:44:30.000 I have a tiny, why am I sharing this?

01:44:32.000 That's different.

01:44:33.000 This is good info.

01:44:34.000 Yeah.

01:44:34.000 I don't know why.

01:44:35.000 Okay.

01:44:35.000 Whatever.

01:44:36.000 Um, I could believe that.

01:44:37.000 That's not the same though as wearing a mask.

01:44:41.000 No, that's not the same.

01:44:42.000 Yeah, it's different.

01:44:43.000 They call it water fasting.

01:44:46.000 Weird.

01:44:46.000 Or dry fasting is what they call it.

01:44:51.000 Alright, where were we? 0.98

01:44:51.000 Dude, that story about the guy that wears a master in sex is insane. 0.98

01:44:54.000 Does he not realize other bodily fluids are being exchanged? 0.98

01:44:58.000 Can you get sick that way though?

01:44:59.000 They said originally.

01:45:01.000 Alright, Mark Walton says, War of the Worlds broadcast really did scare a lot of people.

01:45:06.000 My father has told me that my grandfather thought it was real.

01:45:08.000 They had no way of knowing it was not a real news broadcast.

01:45:11.000 He had no internet back then.

01:45:12.000 Sounds like Rachel Maddow. 1.00

01:45:15.000 Just kidding, Rach.

01:45:16.000 No, no, you're right, actually.

01:45:19.000 But that's kind of funny because I've noticed there are a lot of like horror movies now that take place during the 80s or 90s and I think the sole reason is because cell phone and internet.

01:45:28.000 Yeah.

01:45:29.000 Those two things pretty much nip most horror plots in the bud.

01:45:33.000 Let's see.

01:45:34.000 Jordan Fox says, Tim, can you make TimCast.com bumper stickers?

01:45:37.000 I'll display it on my vehicle to help spread the word about your show.

01:45:40.000 Keep up the great work.

01:45:41.000 Yeah, we can.

01:45:41.000 That's a good idea.

01:45:42.000 There we go.

01:45:43.000 I like it.

01:45:44.000 Polymer says, Tim, please do something with Freedom Tunes with your Fauci impersonation, having him spew all sorts of outlandish nonsense about vampires and zombies, et cetera.

01:45:52.000 Seamus, are you listening?

01:45:55.000 I will be Dr. Fauci for you for Freedom Tunes.

01:46:00.000 A droplet.

01:46:01.000 Remember that?

01:46:01.000 He said, it might stop a droplet.

01:46:03.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:46:05.000 Debbie McNasty says, I'm so glad we don't have an idiot in the White House anymore. 1.00

01:46:08.000 JK, it's worse than ever. 1.00

01:46:12.000 John Marafa says, question for Lauren. 0.70

01:46:14.000 You said you saw the biggest rat ever in New York City.

01:46:16.000 So when did you meet Bill de Blasio or was it Andrew Cuomo?

01:46:24.000 Although, I mean, to get the actual question, I think Cuomo is slimier than de Blasio.

01:46:29.000 Especially with the ladies, it seems.

01:46:34.000 Doobie McNasty says, could you imagine how different the political landscape would be if it were Tulsi versus Donald?

01:46:40.000 I feel like it would still be kind of crazy, but the situation we're in right now makes me pull my hair out.

01:46:44.000 WTAF is going on.

01:46:47.000 A lot?

01:46:49.000 Too much.

01:46:49.000 Garhunt says Lightfoot will lose the lawsuit.

01:46:52.000 Do the interview and she will have to eat a river of detritus in the interim. 1.00

01:46:59.000 She'll have her CRT views put in print and visible to all.

01:47:02.000 She'll lose her election. 0.99

01:47:03.000 Maybe.

01:47:04.000 Yeah, but she can do the interview and he'll be like, so you're pushing critical race theory at this level.

01:47:10.000 Why are you doing that?

01:47:11.000 I don't know.

01:47:13.000 Next question.

01:47:14.000 But I mean, even interviews aside, campaign stuff aside, I've gotta think, like, if you're someone who's living in Chicago right now and you see everything that's happening, how could you vote for the same mayor at the next election?

01:47:24.000 I don't understand.

01:47:24.000 No idea.

01:47:25.000 That is weird.

01:47:26.000 We have a very important question.

01:47:28.000 TheRealHydro says, Tim, when will your frontal lobe develop?

01:47:31.000 I'm not sure.

01:47:33.000 Hopefully soon.

01:47:33.000 You're in a permanent flow state.

01:47:35.000 But I will say there's something tremendously scary if I don't have a frontal lobe and I've been able to be this successful and you haven't.

01:47:42.000 Oh! 0.60

01:47:43.000 Oh snap! 0.76

01:47:44.000 I got you!

01:47:45.000 Apparently that's how you go into flow is you quiet your frontal lobe.

01:47:48.000 Jmax says my son is 8 and he has to help out.

01:47:51.000 It's not a free ride.

01:47:52.000 My daughter too and she's 4.

01:47:53.000 Too many worthless adults had parents that did everything for them.

01:47:56.000 No allowance for chores that are expected either.

01:47:58.000 You wanna make money?

01:47:59.000 I don't know.

01:48:00.000 Spoilers.

01:48:01.000 That's what they call it.

01:48:02.000 JMaxx says, My son is 8 and he has to help out.

01:48:04.000 It's not a free ride.

01:48:05.000 My daughter too and she's 4.

01:48:07.000 Too many worthless adults had parents that did everything for them.

01:48:09.000 No allowance for chores that are expected either.

01:48:12.000 You want to make money?

01:48:13.000 You gotta do more than expected.

01:48:15.000 You know what you do?

01:48:16.000 You lock the fridge and you put prices on everything.

01:48:18.000 Oh my God.

01:48:19.000 Wow.

01:48:19.000 Like a little quarter slot.

01:48:21.000 Yeah, I love it.

01:48:22.000 No, no, no.

01:48:22.000 You just make them buy it.

01:48:23.000 So it's like your kid's like, I want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

01:48:25.000 You're like, all right, this costs 75 cents.

01:48:27.000 What have you done to earn it?

01:48:28.000 And then all the chores can be worth certain amounts.

01:48:31.000 Yeah.

01:48:31.000 That's fascinating.

01:48:33.000 And then the best part is it's really easy to teach socialism because then when one sibling doesn't work at all, you take their money away and give it to them and they start complaining about it and be like, don't vote for socialists.

01:48:40.000 There you go.

01:48:42.000 Henry Vallis says, Tim and crew, please wish my beautiful wife Rachel a happy anniversary.

01:48:47.000 We are huge fans and love you all.

01:48:49.000 Also look into hemp-based building materials such as hempcrete, hemp wool, and hemp wood.

01:48:54.000 Also hemp herd for chicken bedding.

01:48:57.000 Happy anniversary, guys.

01:48:58.000 Happy anniversary, Rachel.

01:49:01.000 David Salter says, Tim, I love the show except when you say GIF.

01:49:05.000 Except the... I did want to point, it's GIF, man.

01:49:08.000 The inventor of it says GIF.

01:49:09.000 Yeah, but he was wrong.

01:49:09.000 Yeah, but it's graphic.

01:49:10.000 It stands for graphic.

01:49:12.000 The guy who invented it says it's GIF.

01:49:14.000 Is it graphic interface?

01:49:16.000 Is that what it means?

01:49:16.000 Interchange format.

01:49:17.000 Interchange format.

01:49:18.000 And so you guys even know that and you're trying to tell me about it.

01:49:20.000 Yeah, I do know that.

01:49:21.000 That's peanut butter.

01:49:21.000 I feel like we're in a time warp right now.

01:49:23.000 Didn't this happen before?

01:49:24.000 Yes, we've talked about this.

01:49:25.000 It's GIF.

01:49:26.000 Tim's wrong, it's okay.

01:49:27.000 So the guy who invented it said... Gif, isn't it?

01:49:30.000 Gjif, isn't it?

01:49:31.000 No, he said it's Gif.

01:49:32.000 The guy who invented it said it.

01:49:33.000 Yeah, but Richard Stallman said it's GNU.

01:49:36.000 His software GNU.

01:49:37.000 It's GNU, like the animal GNU.

01:49:39.000 And he invented it, so he's correct.

01:49:40.000 Yeah, but GNU is pronounced GNU, not GNU.

01:49:43.000 He can call it whatever he wants.

01:49:44.000 Well, he can invent a file format.

01:49:45.000 That doesn't mean he invents the English language.

01:49:46.000 He doesn't get to change the language. 0.98

01:49:47.000 Could you imagine people, like, being so dumb, they say something like, uh, a magick giant was casting a spell? 0.99

01:49:53.000 Oh my gosh, no! 1.00

01:49:54.000 Yeah!

01:49:55.000 Here we go.

01:49:55.000 Magick!

01:49:55.000 Now we're talking!

01:49:56.000 No, it's magic.

01:49:58.000 G-I-J, magic. 0.91

01:49:59.000 Giant.

01:50:00.000 Okay.

01:50:01.000 But it's not gross.

01:50:02.000 It's gross.

01:50:04.000 Yeah, because it could be either.

01:50:07.000 Sometimes there's a soft J and sometimes there's a soft G. I give up.

01:50:11.000 Let's go back to our super chat there.

01:50:13.000 Exactly.

01:50:15.000 Joshua LeBlanc says, Lauren Chen is the jote. 0.93

01:50:18.000 Oh, goat. 0.96

01:50:22.000 He really did say goat, though.

01:50:23.000 He got you.

01:50:24.000 I love it.

01:50:27.000 Geoffrey McCorbin says, Geoffrey to the G!

01:50:31.000 Question for Ian, what are your thoughts on sonoluminescence?

01:50:35.000 Oh, that?

01:50:35.000 Oh gosh, what is that?

01:50:37.000 What is that?

01:50:38.000 That is... I know it's obviously something that's glowing.

01:50:41.000 That's the luminescent part.

01:50:43.000 Is it sono with an N?

01:50:44.000 Sonic?

01:50:45.000 Sonoluminescence?

01:50:46.000 Oh, is that when they use sound to make light?

01:50:48.000 Yeah, it is!

01:50:50.000 You can vibrate a substrate and create light.

01:50:54.000 In fact, you can create light out of the vacuum and then create electrons out of light.

01:51:00.000 So you can basically create energy out of the vacuum.

01:51:03.000 Crazy!

01:51:04.000 I learned about that.

01:51:05.000 Yeah.

01:51:05.000 All right, let's see.

01:51:06.000 Terry, Teramoto Jr. says, think what we're seeing in society

01:51:10.000 is a spiritual Great Depression.

01:51:12.000 Lacking purpose and belonging, we cling to anything to make us feel good about ourselves

01:51:15.000 no matter how delusional it might be.

01:51:18.000 People need to learn how to meditate.

01:51:19.000 Yeah, I was just thinking that.

01:51:20.000 We should take all these angry people and just like bring them to like an ancient yogi

01:51:24.000 atop a mountain and have him just like tell them what's up.

01:51:28.000 Yeah, you experience nothing.

01:51:29.000 That's best sometimes.

01:51:31.000 I tried the hippiest, most hipster thing the other day, but it ended up being great.

01:51:35.000 It's this sound chair experience.

01:51:38.000 So it's, you go on a chair and it, like, recline so it's almost the zero-g position and it vibrates in sync with like all these ocean sound stuff.

01:51:48.000 So it's to help people meditate who can't shut off their minds.

01:51:52.000 So it gives you something to focus on like just the sound and the vibrations and it's actually really cool and I'm too like all over the place to meditate by myself but it was amazing.

01:52:01.000 How long did you do it for?

01:52:02.000 I did it for like 30 minutes, but it's weird because I remember like I couldn't get into it.

01:52:06.000 And then I looked at the clock and I had like 25 minutes left.

01:52:09.000 I was like, oh, it's going to take forever.

01:52:10.000 And then two seconds later, I looked and I was done.

01:52:13.000 And I was like, what the heck?

01:52:14.000 Were you in like a trance? 0.96

01:52:16.000 Yeah. I mean, it's almost like I fell asleep, but I wasn't sleeping.

01:52:19.000 It was cool. I'd never been able to, I guess, meditate successfully.

01:52:22.000 It was cool.

01:52:23.000 These people think they can get me.

01:52:25.000 They think I've learned.

01:52:27.000 Don't you realize this?

01:52:28.000 I'm going to read it anyway.

01:52:30.000 Do it.

01:52:31.000 Dead Eye says, Tim, your ads on Spotify are jarring.

01:52:34.000 They need to be smoother like Michael Knowles and his new book, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds.

01:52:41.000 Michael Knowles turned his promo for his book into a meme.

01:52:43.000 Dude, that's how you do it.

01:52:44.000 He is going to sell so many books.

01:52:45.000 It is the smartest thing ever.

01:52:47.000 Yeah, he is a very intelligent fellow.

01:52:48.000 Genius.

01:52:50.000 Yeah.

01:52:51.000 Luke Slivkoff says, awesome to see Lauren on the show.

01:52:54.000 She was one of the first political podcasts that I listened to back when she was Roaming Millennial.

01:52:58.000 Great show.

01:52:58.000 I remember messing up your name many times, Luke Slivkoff.

01:53:02.000 Where were you roaming to?

01:53:03.000 Oh, well, it was because I had moved around so much previously.

01:53:09.000 I used to love Roaming Millennial.

01:53:10.000 Oh, thank you.

01:53:11.000 But that show got cancelled and replaced by the Lauren Chen show. 0.99

01:53:14.000 Yes.

01:53:15.000 Like John Lemon.

01:53:16.000 Upgrade.

01:53:17.000 Wasn't that like what Lemon did?

01:53:18.000 Yeah, he cancelled and I cancelled.

01:53:20.000 Oh yeah, you saw that?

01:53:21.000 Where he like tried to like fake quit.

01:53:23.000 Fake quit?

01:53:23.000 Yeah.

01:53:24.000 Yeah.

01:53:24.000 What was the, what happened with Roaming Millennial?

01:53:26.000 Did you just decide one day to start using your own name?

01:53:28.000 Yeah, I mean, like, I essentially started doing, like, more in-person stuff and, like, doing more newsy stuff, and then it got weird trying to, like, explain what that is.

01:53:36.000 You like Black Pigeon Speaks?

01:53:37.000 Yeah, and, like, I remember, like, I went on—the first time I was ever on, like, Fox & Friends, they, like, accidentally doxed me anyway.

01:53:44.000 Like, live on air.

01:53:45.000 Whoopsie.

01:53:46.000 This is interesting.

01:53:46.000 Paul Wallace says, it happens gradually and then suddenly.

01:53:49.000 Hemingway's character was talking about bankruptcy, but it's true about many other things as well.

01:53:53.000 Very true.

01:53:54.000 Yeah, I think we're definitely at the point in the societal crisis that any day really could be the switch where it goes full, you know, full bore.

01:54:04.000 Any kind of line graph.

01:54:06.000 It looks like it's going up in a straight line, but if you zoom in, you'll see it's going like this.

01:54:11.000 Up, down, up, down.

01:54:12.000 But it's constantly going up slowly, but when you zoom out, it looks like a fluid upward pattern.

01:54:17.000 We're close up on this.

01:54:18.000 Ten years ago, if you said to me that the country would collapse, I'd be like, no way.

01:54:24.000 If someone came to me and said, it'll be next Tuesday, I'd be like, gradually and then suddenly.

01:54:30.000 Yeah, maybe.

01:54:31.000 I mean, I'm actually at a point now where I believe it.

01:54:33.000 That's scary.

01:54:34.000 Amanda Dilt says, has anyone on the show read the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind?

01:54:40.000 If not, please give it a read.

01:54:41.000 It shows what happens when communism comes up against the free choice and how one person can make change.

01:54:48.000 Yeah.

01:54:49.000 Cool.

01:54:50.000 Euphoric Break says, under the Great Reset, you will live in pods in smart cities under 24-7-365 surveillance.

01:54:56.000 You will be lucky to get bugs in your diet of pills.

01:54:59.000 Vans, you will be a serf living in a neo-feudalistic system with zero rights. 0.99

01:55:04.000 You might.

01:55:06.000 Not me!

01:55:07.000 I'm the special one.

01:55:08.000 Of course.

01:55:09.000 It'll never happen to me.

01:55:10.000 Exactly.

01:55:11.000 These people are like the people who get bit in zombie movies and don't tell anyone because they think they're the special one who's not gonna get sick.

01:55:18.000 Dude, that's the most annoying thing.

01:55:19.000 If I was in a zombie apocalypse and I got bit, I'd just be like, guys, sorry.

01:55:24.000 Yeah.

01:55:24.000 Oh my gosh.

01:55:25.000 Yeah, of course.

01:55:25.000 That'd be a hard scene to watch.

01:55:27.000 I would try to cut off my arm first if it was bit on the arm. 0.69

01:55:30.000 Yeah, totally. 0.96

01:55:31.000 Yeah, just try it.

01:55:33.000 I'd be like, argh!

01:55:33.000 I'm not one of them!

01:55:35.000 But it's too late.

01:55:37.000 I mean, it's just not real life that you get bit and then like a few minutes you turn into a zombie.

01:55:42.000 Is that rabies?

01:55:43.000 How long does that take?

01:55:44.000 A month.

01:55:45.000 Oh, wow.

01:55:45.000 It takes a while.

01:55:46.000 Yeah, a month.

01:55:46.000 That would be a good zombie movie, though, or something with like a slower lead up time where it takes longer to fester.

01:55:52.000 Maybe there's like a minor virus that people get, and no one really cares about it, and then all of a sudden it's got like a second phase, and then people just start like... Like if you've ever played Plague Inc., you know you gotta put really high virility but low lethality to start off with.

01:56:09.000 Yeah, and then turn it up.

01:56:12.000 And then like once the movie ends, it like zooms out, and then it goes through a screen, and there's like a seven-year-old kid just like... That would be so great.

01:56:21.000 Like Men in Black. 0.98

01:56:24.000 Coldilocks says, The guy you had on yesterday or Tuesday was an idiot when it comes to WWII history. 0.99

01:56:28.000 Britain, France, and America leaving Germany alone was not an option, then Germany attacked France first. 0.98

01:56:34.000 Documents found post-war showed plans for a US mainland invasion.

01:56:38.000 You know, France actually did invade Germany in 1939.

01:56:41.000 They did a failed invasion.

01:56:45.000 Didn't go very well for them.

01:56:49.000 But, I mean, obviously, Germany.

01:56:51.000 Jason Vreeman says, Ian, any idea what carbon footprint is caused by data mining and tracking bots?

01:56:57.000 Can we save the planet by banning advertisers and data collection?

01:57:02.000 I don't know what amount of carbon footprint is made by that, but I tend to take the route of, rather than reduce the amount of carbon emissions, that we withdraw the carbon from the atmosphere and reuse it.

01:57:11.000 Like carbon capture stuff?

01:57:12.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:57:12.000 Deposit it onto, like, palladium to create graphene and things like that.

01:57:16.000 I have a really good question.

01:57:19.000 Igloo King says, Tim, quote, you're not going to vote your way out of this.

01:57:23.000 Why would a tyrant give you your freedoms back?

01:57:25.000 They won't.

01:57:26.000 The actual quote I said is, why would Oregon give up their serfs?

01:57:29.000 So the people of Oregon voted they want to join Idaho.

01:57:32.000 As far as I'm concerned, it's done.

01:57:34.000 The people have rescinded their consent to Oregon and they want to go to Idaho.

01:57:39.000 If Idaho approves, I say do it.

01:57:40.000 But they're not going to.

01:57:42.000 Oregon's not going to give up their serfs. 1.00

01:57:43.000 Then he says, also, Tim, I do not condone violence and I do not call for people taking up arms.

01:57:48.000 What to do?

01:57:48.000 It's really easy.

01:57:50.000 I've said it over and over and over again.

01:57:51.000 We are in fourth and fifth generational warfare.

01:57:54.000 You win by gaining control of institutions, by working there, by building culture, by sharing YouTube videos, so that the predominant view shifts in the culture, and then you don't win Back in the day, when there was no communication, war was, you marched in and demanded it.

01:58:10.000 And if they didn't, then you had weapons.

01:58:12.000 Today's day and age is, you convince people, you propagandize, you share information, and the left does all of that in spades.

01:58:20.000 So how do you win?

01:58:21.000 You don't storm the Capitol, because that's the biggest weapon.

01:58:24.000 Most people not paying attention are shocked and scared by that.

01:58:27.000 A lot of them probably don't care.

01:58:28.000 But a lot of people view it as the apocalypse.

01:58:30.000 You can see them propagandizing.

01:58:32.000 That's how they win.

01:58:33.000 And the cops aren't helping anybody.

01:58:35.000 They're just doing what they're told.

01:58:36.000 So you have to build culture and be peaceful, resourceful, and persuasive.

01:58:42.000 And there you go.

01:58:44.000 Jeff Ross says, would you consider having Donut Operator on the show?

01:58:49.000 He's an ex-cop turned YouTuber that I think would be good content.

01:58:52.000 And yes, absolutely.

01:58:53.000 We would.

01:58:54.000 Standing invite.

01:58:54.000 I'm telling you guys.

01:58:57.000 DudeX01 says, Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano and ETH, said that he would come on Timcast if he was invited on Twitter today.

01:59:05.000 He was invited by Lydia on Twitter.

01:59:06.000 Yes, he was.

01:59:07.000 Twice.

01:59:08.000 Yeah, several times.

01:59:09.000 I'd love to have him.

01:59:10.000 Lydia does all the booking.

01:59:11.000 I do indeed.

01:59:12.000 There you go.

01:59:15.000 DJ Madero says, Star Trek DS9 episode in the pale moonlight best defines what a man will do if he believes the ends justify the means.

01:59:23.000 It's a dangerous ideology, if you were to ask me.

01:59:27.000 All right, Alexander Ali says, Captain America said we don't trade lives, but Vision and half the population died anyways.

01:59:34.000 You can poke holes in either philosophy.

01:59:36.000 Well, but that's only because he lost.

01:59:39.000 But I guess a utilitarian would argue that, I mean, trying to save everyone, like, refusing to acknowledge the fact that there will be losses and taking the initiative to minimize those losses will result in overall more people being hurt, regardless of how much you may try.

01:59:57.000 AC-130 says, Great King of the Hill episode about the trolley problem.

02:00:01.000 Hank is left with a decision to open the floodgates or destroy other homes and is hated after.

02:00:06.000 That's why people don't people just don't want to have the decision.

02:00:09.000 Leave me out of it.

02:00:10.000 I want to be responsible.

02:00:12.000 People need to learn to be responsible, though.

02:00:14.000 Yeah, because making no decision is a decision.

02:00:16.000 That's a good way of looking at it.

02:00:17.000 Rush said.

02:00:19.000 All right, we'll do a few more.

02:00:22.000 Let's see.

02:00:23.000 BL42JD. 0.99

02:00:25.000 Cool hearing Ian say GNU.

02:00:27.000 What distro do you use, Ian?

02:00:29.000 I currently don't.

02:00:30.000 I use Windows.

02:00:34.000 I've never used GNU.

02:00:36.000 But I've studied a lot of Richard Stallman.

02:00:38.000 I have a lot of respect for the guy.

02:00:39.000 I'm sad that he went through the whole cancel culture thing.

02:00:42.000 You know, I think his text was kind of...

02:00:45.000 I don't know.

02:00:45.000 Did you guys, are you familiar with Richard Stallman?

02:00:47.000 What did he do?

02:00:47.000 He built the GNU system, the free software, kind of created the free software movement.

02:00:51.000 And then he wrote something about Epstein and like supporting people that went there.

02:00:56.000 I don't know.

02:00:56.000 And then MIT fired him.

02:00:58.000 But it's unfortunate because he's kind of like the Yoda of computer code.

02:01:02.000 Here's a good, good one.

02:01:03.000 OMG, just remembered.

02:01:04.000 I was listening to you and my dad recognized your voice and said to me, is that the hat guy?

02:01:08.000 It is the hat guy.

02:01:12.000 That's me.

02:01:15.000 Kayla Sherard says, a modern trolley problem my professor posed is the algorithms in self-driving cars to prevent accidents.

02:01:22.000 Would we avoid crashes by crashing into pedestrians?

02:01:24.000 Might demographics come into play with time?

02:01:27.000 Well, that's what people are already asserting with AI, that it is racist. 0.53

02:01:31.000 Apparently more black people have been run over or something.

02:01:36.000 Yeah, I'm not sure what they're saying. 0.97

02:01:38.000 Mike Sullivan says, love Lauren's response about the trolley.

02:01:41.000 Five cancers to society and one with the cure.

02:01:43.000 Truly no malarkey.

02:01:46.000 All right.

02:01:47.000 And by the way, no malarkey is our podcast.

02:01:49.000 Oh, I like that.

02:01:50.000 Oh, really?

02:01:51.000 Yeah.

02:01:51.000 No malarkey.

02:01:52.000 Is it Joe Biden fan podcast?

02:01:54.000 No, there's no malarkey.

02:01:55.000 That would be a lot of malarkey.

02:01:57.000 Oh, yes, yes, yes.

02:01:58.000 Much malarkey.

02:01:59.000 Mucho malarkey.

02:02:00.000 Spanish language anti-Biden podcast.

02:02:02.000 No, pro-Biden.

02:02:03.000 Sorry.

02:02:04.000 Mucho malarkey.

02:02:06.000 All right.

02:02:07.000 Aaron Bortner says you guys should come to Gettysburg, PA area.

02:02:10.000 Nice place.

02:02:11.000 And Tim, if you come up that far, I'll take you to a nice cement skate park in York.

02:02:15.000 Free.

02:02:15.000 Cool.

02:02:15.000 We should, um, search for ghosts at Gettysburg.

02:02:19.000 Oh my gosh.

02:02:19.000 If you ever want to do a ghost hunting series, I just bought some EMF detectors.

02:02:24.000 Cause we're going to be doing this paranormal show.

02:02:25.000 Yeah.

02:02:26.000 But I must stress there is no evidence or anything indicating EMF has anything to do with ghosts.

02:02:32.000 It could be subatomic vibration.

02:02:34.000 Imagine, imagine like a dude in the 1800s, just like walking around with some kind of like magnifying glass, looking at things saying like, I'm going to use this device, which allows us to see smaller things.

02:02:48.000 And like you'd by today's standards, you'd be like, what are you doing?

02:02:51.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:02:52.000 So in like a hundred years, they're gonna look back and be like, these people were so dumb. 0.99

02:02:54.000 I'm looking for ghosts. 0.97

02:02:54.000 Well, I mean like infrared stuff. 0.97

02:02:55.000 They say cold spots or I don't know.

02:02:58.000 Yeah, we can get night vision goggles.

02:02:59.000 Yeah.

02:03:00.000 That'd be cool.

02:03:01.000 And then find ghosts.

02:03:03.000 Alright, let's see.

02:03:03.000 We'll do one more.

02:03:06.000 We'll do two more.

02:03:08.000 Ming-No Solomon says, Summer coming up, when will you be selling Fauci flip-flops?

02:03:12.000 We won't, because I don't have the rights to his likeness.

02:03:14.000 Get it though?

02:03:15.000 Flip-flop?

02:03:15.000 Yeah, that's good.

02:03:17.000 Yeah.

02:03:17.000 Flip-flops.

02:03:18.000 Here's the last, we'll do one more.

02:03:20.000 Deadeye says, Michael Knowles is smart with his marketing campaign, but don't forget about Michael Malice's new book, The Anarchist Handbook, available now.

02:03:26.000 You guys, go buy those books.

02:03:28.000 Make them number one on Amazon, so that when regular people go on Amazon, they see those books.

02:03:33.000 Cultural enforcement.

02:03:35.000 That's right.

02:03:35.000 That's cool.

02:03:35.000 What's Anarchist Handbook about?

02:03:37.000 Are you guys familiar?

02:03:38.000 I mean, other than anarchy, the obvious, but... It's about Michael Malice's handbook for anarchism.

02:03:45.000 Yeah.

02:03:45.000 So he's basically breaking down what is anarchy.

02:03:47.000 He goes through the history.

02:03:48.000 I guess I could ask him about it.

02:03:49.000 Yeah, he talks about... What's her face?

02:03:51.000 Emma Goldman, is that her name?

02:03:52.000 I think so.

02:03:52.000 And then that guy, that cute guy he was talking about on the show last time.

02:03:56.000 Yeah.

02:03:57.000 That's right.

02:03:58.000 Hey, thanks for hanging out everybody.

02:04:34.000 On there, I host a weekly podcast with my friend Marie Oakes, who is also a journalist for the Westphalian Times.

02:04:39.000 It is called No Malarkey.

02:04:41.000 I think our next episode, we've already filmed it, should be going up tomorrow.

02:04:44.000 And I don't have a Patreon.

02:04:53.000 We're actually having a Father's Day sale right now.

02:04:56.000 Uh, let's see if, uh, it's like a sliding thing.

02:04:58.000 So if you buy like $100 worth of stuff, use the code dad20, you get 20% off.

02:05:03.000 And if you buy $50 worth of stuff, use the code dad10.

02:05:06.000 Get 10% off.

02:05:07.000 So yeah, that's what I have instead of a paywall.

02:05:17.000 It's really good material.

02:05:18.000 You brought some soap last time.

02:05:19.000 I loved it.

02:05:21.000 I had the salt soap.

02:05:22.000 It just feels so good on my face.

02:05:24.000 Thanks.

02:05:24.000 Yeah, I bring soap now when I travel.

02:05:26.000 I'm using my mom's new lime soap.

02:05:28.000 It's really good.

02:05:28.000 It's also hard to travel with solid soap, I've learned, because you have to dry it.
