Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Dave Rubin SUSPENDED For Defending Jordan Peterson, Rogan ROASTS Biden w-Legal Bytes

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:49.000 you so Dave Rubin got suspended after Jordan Peterson got

00:01:15.000 suspended And Dave Rubin got suspended on Twitter for tweeting that Jordan Peterson got suspended.

00:01:21.000 We are in the silliest version of the censorship nightmare dystopia.

00:01:26.000 But I mean, it is bad that they took this old tweet.

00:01:30.000 I say old, but like a week and a half old.

00:01:32.000 And then this morning I get hit up by Dave and he's like, yo, they suspended me for this.

00:01:36.000 And then I see that actually he was just like, hey, he has a tweet where he's like Jordan Peterson got suspended.

00:01:40.000 And they said that broke the rules.

00:01:42.000 So Timcast reached out to Twitter for comment and Twitter said his tweet violated the rules on hateful conduct.

00:01:48.000 Here's where it gets crazier.

00:01:51.000 The tweet was about actor Elliot Page, formerly known as Ellen Page for those that are not familiar.

00:01:57.000 Ellen Page, as a phrase, was trending on Twitter for 45 minutes. 0.91

00:02:01.000 BuzzFeed flipped out, reached out to Twitter and said, how could you break your own rule?

00:02:06.000 So Twitter deleted the trend.

00:02:09.000 We are in, you know, it's not quite Fahrenheit 451 or Brave New World or 1984. 0.97

00:02:14.000 It's something much stupider.

00:02:16.000 Hey, but at least we're allowed to talk about it on these shows, so we'll talk about that. 0.98

00:02:19.000 And then in the vein of censorship, it's funny.

00:02:21.000 Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

00:02:23.000 Remember when they were like, we're taking all of our music off Spotify because Joe Rogan's a bigot?

00:02:27.000 Well, all their music's back on Spotify.

00:02:29.000 Shows how far their convictions went.

00:02:30.000 I'm telling you guys, if you stand up, speak out, speak out for what you believe in, you'll win.

00:02:35.000 These people, they're just chasing after money.

00:02:38.000 They take their money offline, or I'm sorry, they take their music offline because they want cash and they think it's going to benefit them.

00:02:43.000 When it doesn't, they come crawling back.

00:02:45.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:02:46.000 And then speaking of Joe Rogan, he called Joe Biden a dead man in reference to, I guess, Joe Biden not being all that functional and Donald Trump running against him in 2024 and winning.

00:02:57.000 So we'll get into all that stuff.

00:02:58.000 We've got a ton of news today, a lot of censorship-based stuff.

00:03:01.000 So we'll talk all about that.

00:04:39.000 Is this the camera?

00:04:40.000 Yeah.

00:04:40.000 Hi.

00:04:43.000 Who are you, Chris?

00:04:45.000 I'm Chris.

00:04:45.000 I guess he's Chris.

00:04:46.000 That's it.

00:04:46.000 Give me more.

00:04:47.000 I like it.

00:04:48.000 He's filling in.

00:04:49.000 I want more!

00:04:50.000 That's it, I guess.

00:04:52.000 Alright, let's jump to this first story.

00:04:53.000 We have this from the post-millennial.

00:04:55.000 Breaking!

00:04:56.000 Dave Rubin suspended from Twitter after defending Jordan Peterson.

00:05:00.000 Rubin offered a defense of Jordan Peterson after he was suspended for tweeting about actor Elliot Page using that actor's name prior to Page undergoing gender transition.

00:05:10.000 So I think that's the real issue that got him suspended.

00:05:14.000 So Dave, let me just pull up the actual tweet here.

00:05:17.000 So this is a tweet from Jack Posobiec.

00:05:19.000 Ruben report has been suspended from Twitter for defending Jordan Peterson.

00:05:23.000 Ruben tweeted on June 29th.

00:05:25.000 The insanity continues at Twitter.

00:05:28.000 Jordan B. Peterson has been suspended for this tweet about Ellen Page.

00:05:31.000 He just told me he will never delete the tweet paging Elon Musk.

00:05:36.000 That was hateful conduct that.

00:05:38.000 That tweet.

00:05:39.000 He issued a statement saying, I have been suspended by Twitter for posting a screenshot of Jordan Peterson's tweet which got him got he himself suspended.

00:05:46.000 While it is unclear how I broke their terms of service, it is clear that they are breaking their fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders by letting a bunch of woke activists run the company.

00:05:54.000 I hope Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter goes through so he can blow up their servers and humanity can move past this pervasive, twisted, self-imposed mental institution.

00:06:02.000 In the meantime, you can find me at reubenreport.locals.com, the platform I created to fight big tech censorship, something we need now more than ever.

00:06:10.000 It's truly amazing.

00:06:11.000 I mean, this is the insanity of the world we're living in.

00:06:14.000 But this work, it's crazy.

00:06:17.000 Let me jump to this, uh, I think I have this tweet here.

00:06:19.000 BuzzFeed News said, Elliot Page's dead name appeared as a trending topic on Twitter, violating the site's own policy on hateful conduct.

00:06:28.000 In a statement to BuzzFeed News, a Twitter spokesperson said it was a mistake and has since been removed.

00:06:36.000 Okay.

00:06:37.000 That's it.

00:06:39.000 I understand, I think some social networks have the term that if you reference a tweet or reference a post that had gotten someone banned, that that reference is also a bannable offense.

00:06:50.000 And this is to get people, to stop people from retweeting things that had gotten banned because then you're just kind of getting around the ban.

00:06:56.000 But it's reporting just factually on what happened.

00:07:00.000 I think that's true.

00:07:00.000 That's all that Dave Rubin said.

00:07:01.000 But he said Ellen Page.

00:07:04.000 You can't even acknowledge that Elliot Page used to be known as Ellen Page?

00:07:09.000 No.

00:07:09.000 You certainly can, but there are apparently repercussions.

00:07:12.000 That seems so arbitrary!

00:07:12.000 Right, you can, they'll just ban you.

00:07:15.000 Or suspend you.

00:07:15.000 This is like the most heavy-handed, nonsensical over-administration I've seen from Twitter in a long time.

00:07:21.000 Let them do it. 1.00

00:07:21.000 The more they do stupid-ish like this, the more regular people are gonna be like, what? 1.00

00:07:26.000 Yeah, dude. 1.00

00:07:26.000 Peterson's off the platform. 1.00

00:07:28.000 Jordan Peterson.

00:07:28.000 Now Dave Rubin's leaving.

00:07:30.000 I never used Twitter from 2008 to 2020 because I thought it was insane and redundant.

00:07:35.000 I already have Facebook as my text platform.

00:07:38.000 I like the hashtag system.

00:07:40.000 But it's just old tech. 0.99

00:07:41.000 Garbage.

00:07:43.000 Yeah, I mean it is a little scary to see that someone who is just referencing something else happening, someone else getting taken off the platform and talking about it around the context can also be then taken off the platform itself as well. 0.88

00:07:58.000 That is very alarming.

00:07:59.000 I will say that from looking at Dave Rubin's Initial tweet about it. It did look like I mean you can

00:08:04.000 look at it from maybe I'm just playing devil's advocate here

00:08:07.000 But like, you know, he did say he did reference her or reference Elliot page as Ellen page

00:08:12.000 Without any context of like, you know, like saying that you know, the artist formerly known as as Ellen page or

00:08:18.000 something like that You know what I mean?

00:08:20.000 Is that okay though?

00:08:20.000 Can we say that?

00:08:21.000 I don't know.

00:08:21.000 Is that allowed?

00:08:22.000 I don't know.

00:08:22.000 But that's still compelled speech.

00:08:25.000 Over the weekend, I was talking to a five-year-old and he was like, hey, stop calling me dude or man.

00:08:29.000 Just do it once a day and then call me by my name the rest of the time.

00:08:32.000 I was like, well, there's this thing called compelled speech.

00:08:34.000 And he was like, what is that?

00:08:36.000 You tell that five-year-old.

00:08:37.000 Here we go.

00:08:38.000 Okay.

00:08:38.000 In the United States, you can ask people to say whatever, but you can't make them say whatever.

00:08:43.000 We have free speech.

00:08:44.000 Wait, a five-year-old legit said that to you?

00:08:47.000 He asked me to call him by his name and I was like, well, there's this thing called compelled speech where you can't make me say things, so I'm allowed to call you what I want to call you. 0.88

00:08:56.000 You should have been like, for that I'm calling you dingus.

00:08:58.000 The conversation got derailed before I really was able to illustrate the law.

00:09:01.000 That's how conversations with five-year-olds usually are.

00:09:04.000 Yeah, it's important.

00:09:06.000 Okay, then guess I won't call you dude anymore.

00:09:07.000 There's this like desire, even of children, to control reality by making people do what they want.

00:09:13.000 Play the game.

00:09:13.000 I want it to be played.

00:09:14.000 Call me the name I want to be called.

00:09:16.000 And like, you're seeing adults do it now. 0.98

00:09:18.000 It's really ridiculous. 0.97

00:09:19.000 Are they adults? 1.00

00:09:20.000 I think you hit the nail on the head with a hammer.

00:09:22.000 These people are children.

00:09:24.000 I mean, look, there's a subreddit called adulting.

00:09:27.000 You ever see this?

00:09:27.000 No.

00:09:28.000 You know what I'm talking about, Mary?

00:09:30.000 Just adults complaining about having to do normal adult tasks.

00:09:33.000 Yeah, they're like, I had to pay bills today.

00:09:36.000 And there was one, it's crazy, there was a viral post about adulting.

00:09:40.000 And it's like 35-year-old millennial dudes being like, oh, I had to walk my dog today.

00:09:45.000 Ooh, adulting.

00:09:46.000 It's like, okay, dude.

00:09:48.000 But there was one post and it was just like someone doing, it went viral and it was talking about their frustrations with everything wrong with the world.

00:09:54.000 Like, why do we have to live this way?

00:09:56.000 Like, why am I dealing with these things?

00:09:58.000 And it's like, I get it.

00:09:59.000 I get it.

00:09:59.000 You never grew up.

00:10:00.000 You never want to grow up.

00:10:01.000 You have Peter Pan syndrome, whatever it's called.

00:10:03.000 You want to just go off to never never land.

00:10:05.000 You want to hide under the covers?

00:10:06.000 Fine.

00:10:07.000 But stop voting.

00:10:08.000 If you don't want to be in charge, don't be in charge.

00:10:10.000 You're making everything worse.

00:10:12.000 This goes to the tribal lifestyle.

00:10:14.000 Like, what we used to have were, like, a weak person would threaten the tribe's existence.

00:10:18.000 If someone was severely overweight or just lazy or drugged out all the time, you become a risk for the tribe.

00:10:25.000 The tribe's going to deal with you.

00:10:26.000 Here's the thing you were mentioning.

00:10:28.000 Like, Dave did say Ellen Page.

00:10:31.000 I don't think Dave understands why he wasn't allowed to do that.

00:10:34.000 I think he was just like, he sees Jordan Peterson's tweet and he goes, whoa, look what he said about Ellen Page, and they're like, ah, you got the name wrong.

00:10:41.000 Like, how is – the assumption here is that every single person knows about the personal life of Elliot Page.

00:10:48.000 That's crazy.

00:10:48.000 Yeah, I mean, and to be fair, people have known about Ellen Page much longer than they've known about Elliot Page.

00:10:54.000 So, I mean, you know, he could very well have made just a very honest, legitimate mistake to say, I thought I was referring to the right individual.

00:11:04.000 I don't think Dave thought twice about it.

00:11:06.000 I think Dave was just like, I can't believe this happened, and just did a quick tweet.

00:11:10.000 And that's it.

00:11:10.000 It's like, oh, you've offended the woke police.

00:11:13.000 The crazy thing about this, though, is how BuzzFeed complained to Twitter and Twitter took a viral trend down.

00:11:19.000 For real?

00:11:20.000 Yeah.

00:11:21.000 So, can I just say my name's not Tim anymore, it's Tom, and then all the Tim Pool trends just have to be deleted?

00:11:27.000 Confusing everybody?

00:11:30.000 Technically, I guess.

00:11:31.000 You could get it legally changed, that'd be funny.

00:11:33.000 Not even- You should, you should do it.

00:11:35.000 Did Elliot Page legally change their name?

00:11:38.000 Probably.

00:11:39.000 I don't know.

00:11:39.000 I never looked into it.

00:11:40.000 I don't make assumptions.

00:11:41.000 Tons of people who change their names just change it.

00:11:44.000 They don't go to the courthouse and get it legally done.

00:11:47.000 Some people would just be like, my new name is, you know, whatever.

00:11:49.000 Prince.

00:11:50.000 Prince!

00:11:51.000 Or it became a symbol, I guess.

00:11:52.000 Yeah.

00:11:53.000 I heard that was for legal reasons, though.

00:11:55.000 I don't know that specifically, but I do remember that, I mean, the reason why they said the artist formerly known as Prince is because they were like, we need something to be able to sign legal documents.

00:12:05.000 You can't just put a symbol down.

00:12:07.000 Like, you can't do that.

00:12:08.000 You need to have some kind of a legal name.

00:12:10.000 So that's why they would refer to him as... Is that under the law, though?

00:12:13.000 Like, you have to have a verbal name?

00:12:15.000 Yeah.

00:12:17.000 I think also that's also why Elon Musk said that they changed originally what they wanted their son's name to be, him and Grimes, Ash, whatever, whatever.

00:12:29.000 They said they had like, yeah, but it's like they narrowed it down to Ash or something like that.

00:12:34.000 But like, so originally he wanted like all kinds of different symbols and things that are not in the English alphabet.

00:12:40.000 And so I guess the U.S.

00:12:42.000 government was like, you can't do that.

00:12:43.000 What?

00:12:44.000 It's kind of messed up though.

00:12:44.000 But ultimately there's going to be a name that you verbally call a child.

00:12:47.000 I mean, yeah.

00:12:48.000 So what was that going to be?

00:12:51.000 Yeah, there has to be something.

00:12:52.000 It's like Ash Archangel.

00:12:53.000 But okay, hold on.

00:12:53.000 Something like that.

00:12:55.000 Does it have to be a, like, Germanic vernacular?

00:12:59.000 It has to be the English alphabet.

00:13:00.000 It has to be the English alphabet.

00:13:01.000 So you could theoretically go like, awawawawawawawawa.

00:13:03.000 Right?

00:13:03.000 Wawawawawa. Right? A-W-W-A-W-A-W-A-W-A-W-A-W-A-W-A-W-A-W-A-W-A-W-A.

00:13:10.000 Wawawawawa. Good luck saying that. If you say it wrong, I'll get you banned. If you get one syllable wrong, it's over

00:13:17.000 for you. You are cancelled. And then, actually, my given name was, wawawa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa, and I've changed

00:13:25.000 it to, wawawawawawa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa, and so, if you get it wrong, that's dead naming it. I mean, that's pretty true.

00:13:29.000 I can tell you as someone with a not very common first name that that would be a murderous name to grow up with.

00:13:37.000 Well, yeah, like I remember I was talking, I was mentioning your issue with it was when when Washington Post came after you.

00:13:44.000 That's so insane.

00:13:45.000 And I think I said a light elite.

00:13:47.000 I have no idea.

00:13:48.000 Oh, yeah, that's right.

00:13:50.000 What am I going to get banned because I couldn't pronounce someone's name?

00:13:52.000 Of course, you are officially henceforth banned.

00:13:55.000 What was the WaPo situation?

00:13:56.000 That was Taylor Lorenz, how she wrote an article about the supposed influencers that really 0.93

00:14:04.000 won from the Depp v. Heard trial.

00:14:06.000 So – She called you radicalized.

00:14:09.000 In one of her subsequent tweets, yeah, she said – well, to be fair, she referred generally

00:14:15.000 to radicalized influencers.

00:14:18.000 And I don't know if she was referring to me and that umbrella guy or if she was referring

00:14:23.000 to other influencers that were commenting on the whole situation in the series of errors

00:14:31.000 that were not corrected or if it was like all of us all together.

00:14:35.000 But here's the funny thing.

00:14:37.000 The gist of the story is you do legal commentary.

00:14:42.000 You were commenting on the biggest pop culture or one of the biggest court cases in the country.

00:14:48.000 And so she wrote this hit piece as though you were a grifter just trying to get money or whatever.

00:14:52.000 And I'm like, it's a lawyer talking about pop culture.

00:14:54.000 You don't get more mainstream than that.

00:14:56.000 And then what happens is she writes fake news about you, and then you call her out.

00:15:02.000 Other people got mad that she wrote fake news.

00:15:05.000 So she's like, you're all radicalized!

00:15:08.000 If you dare correct me, you're all radicalized.

00:15:11.000 If that's the least of it.

00:15:12.000 In what ideology?

00:15:15.000 Anti-Taylor-Lorenz, I guess.

00:15:17.000 Is Taylor-Lorenz some kind of Amber Heard stan?

00:15:23.000 Amber Heard wrote for the Washington Post.

00:15:25.000 That's where the death- Supposedly, or ghost wrote.

00:15:27.000 Right, right, ghost wrote.

00:15:28.000 But the point is, the article was published in WAPO.

00:15:30.000 Taylor Lorenz works for WAPO.

00:15:32.000 So of course, there's a major conflict of interest.

00:15:35.000 Yeah, yeah there is.

00:15:35.000 They were thinking about taking that down, the op-ed.

00:15:38.000 But I think they just added a note.

00:15:41.000 I don't recall if they actually ended up adding a note to it, but my assumption was that they were never going to take that down unless they were actually compelled to do so.

00:15:51.000 That's what I was assuming.

00:15:53.000 I don't think they should be compelled to take it down.

00:15:56.000 Dude, Taylor Lorenz has been having major meltdowns. 1.00

00:16:00.000 She's losing it.

00:16:00.000 Yeah, it reminds me of an abused dog when it's more likely to snap out and lash out at people coming up to pet it.

00:16:07.000 If an animal's been abused, it's more likely to attack someone that comes near it, usually for the most part.

00:16:13.000 Who did anything to Taylor Lorenz? 0.99

00:16:14.000 Who knows what her childhood was like but for her to see danger all around her is like bro Yeah, so but a lot of rich people are twisted when their kids by bad parents.

00:16:23.000 It's not just that it's that they're there They're snowplow parents clear out all obstacles.

00:16:27.000 So they never actually experience any hardship.

00:16:30.000 So then they get older and I feel the slightest snowflake touches their skin and they scream.

00:16:34.000 I don't want ill for anything, but for her to be seeing radicalization all around her is like, and yeah, there is radicalization going on in reality.

00:16:41.000 There's fifth dimensional warfare, weird, you know, twisting, but it's, you know, obviously if you see it all around you, then you got to look within because it's your own lens that you're seeing reality through that's making it look a certain color.

00:16:53.000 I saw this viral tweet.

00:16:54.000 I didn't fact check it, so fact check me on this one.

00:16:57.000 But someone tweeted, Taylor Lorenz, actually I think it was Viva, so I trust it, that she was like, people are getting sick at VidCon with COVID because VidCon literally did nothing to mitigate COVID.

00:17:08.000 And then he also posted a tweet from VidCon where it's like, you know, vaccine and negative tests and masks are required or something like that.

00:17:14.000 I don't know if it had a name.

00:17:15.000 Like, you know, you need a negative test within three days to come to the event.

00:17:18.000 So Taylor Renz is literally just making stuff up.

00:17:21.000 Yeah.

00:17:22.000 Now look, I don't care about this woman, but the issue is she is wielding the Washington 1.00

00:17:27.000 Post like, you know, what was the name of the sword that he man had?

00:17:31.000 Whatever.

00:17:32.000 That one.

00:17:33.000 She's wielding it like that. 1.00

00:17:34.000 I don't know if it had a name.

00:17:36.000 Was it?

00:17:36.000 Yeah.

00:17:37.000 I don't know.

00:17:37.000 She's holding up the Washington Post and using it to smack people around and cause damage to other people.

00:17:43.000 That's the problem.

00:17:45.000 Yeah, I mean... The Power Sword.

00:17:47.000 It's called the Power Sword.

00:17:48.000 Power Sword.

00:17:49.000 No, I was going to say that, I mean, the issue that I had with my run-in and with Tug's run-in with her was that it was something that really shouldn't have been an issue.

00:18:01.000 It should have been just a very simple correction.

00:18:03.000 To say like, okay, we're correcting it where I said that I reached out to them for comment and no, I didn't reach out to them for comment until after we had published.

00:18:11.000 But they had several corrections on there where ultimately it said that the final resting place of this laundry list of corrections was that it said that she had not reached out to Tug at all beforehand, but she had reached out to me by Instagram, which is literally the last place that she reached out to me.

00:18:32.000 After Twitter DM, which was after I called her out on Twitter.

00:18:35.000 This is the crazy thing.

00:18:36.000 They play this game where they'll be like, we reached out to Ian for comment.

00:18:40.000 He did not respond.

00:18:41.000 And then like, what does that mean?

00:18:42.000 It turns out they sent a letter in the mail.

00:18:44.000 Yeah, to an old address.

00:18:45.000 To an old address.

00:18:46.000 Yeah, smoke signal.

00:18:47.000 Like we did legally for legal purposes.

00:18:50.000 I yelled his name out into the woods, but there was no response.

00:18:53.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:18:54.000 It'd be funny if there was.

00:18:55.000 And the thing is, if I remember correctly, it didn't even say that we had not responded to comment, but that we had declined or that we had essentially refused to comment.

00:19:07.000 But that would require a response from us.

00:19:09.000 Maybe instead of saying we reached out, they should start saying they received our request for comment and did not respond.

00:19:16.000 Because reaching out is different than... If you reach out for comment in the middle of a forest and Yeah.

00:19:23.000 In the middle of nowhere.

00:19:24.000 Don't be surprised when you don't hear back.

00:19:25.000 Yeah.

00:19:26.000 But that's the game they play.

00:19:27.000 Yeah.

00:19:28.000 I can't remember who it was, but they do this thing where they'll like send a general inquiry to your like info line on your website, which is like a low level.

00:19:39.000 So, you know, Joe Rogan never responded because they like went to his website and submitted a form to his booking manager who threw it in the trash and didn't know what it was.

00:19:46.000 Info at JoeRogan.com.

00:19:48.000 Yeah, things like that.

00:19:48.000 They will.

00:19:50.000 Or they'll like look your name up in the phone book and they'll call it and be like, they didn't comment.

00:19:53.000 And you're like, bro, there's a bunch of people have the same name as me.

00:19:55.000 Who are you looking up?

00:19:56.000 It should say that we were unable to contact.

00:19:59.000 We were unable to get in touch with someone for contact.

00:20:02.000 But that's also just not true.

00:20:04.000 Because you have to try.

00:20:05.000 Or we did not.

00:20:06.000 That'd be a better way.

00:20:07.000 We did not get in touch with them for comment.

00:20:09.000 Yeah.

00:20:10.000 I, I, what they, what they do with these comments is they're trying to feign credibility.

00:20:13.000 That's the whole point.

00:20:14.000 And they want you to seem less credible.

00:20:16.000 So they'll be like, oh, they never got back to us.

00:20:17.000 That's their fault.

00:20:18.000 But here's, here's the thing.

00:20:19.000 Even if you get back to them, they're going to twist whatever you say.

00:20:21.000 Yeah.

00:20:21.000 They're going to mangle it up.

00:20:23.000 You know, you're going to say something like, uh, look, I'm a legal YouTuber.

00:20:26.000 I'm commenting on a very publicly, you know, public trial.

00:20:29.000 And I'm taking my, my, my, my expert opinion, uh, for what it is.

00:20:33.000 And then they'll write, when they responded, they expressed that it's a very popular trial and it's good for business.

00:20:40.000 And then when you're like, I didn't say that, they'll be like, well, that's how we assumed it to be.

00:20:42.000 Yeah.

00:20:43.000 And then what are you going to do?

00:20:44.000 Or something along the lines of like, this is yet another lawyer profiting off of poor people and their misery.

00:20:52.000 So should you send a video response as your comment and then put the video response online later when you're like, this is where they got the comment from?

00:21:00.000 Or just a public tweet.

00:21:01.000 But it is better to do a public tweet so that everyone can read it, but they will write whatever they want.

00:21:06.000 Sure.

00:21:07.000 Right, so I'll tell you this.

00:21:08.000 Ian, how do you feel about bakery fresh cinnamon buns?

00:21:12.000 Well, I'm not down with the carbs, but you know it smells good.

00:21:15.000 When asked for comment on bakery fresh cinnamon buns, Ian let out a displeasing grunt.

00:21:21.000 Seemingly showing dissatisfaction.

00:21:24.000 Commenting, not pleased dot dot dot.

00:21:26.000 He even wanted to say that there were problems with them.

00:21:29.000 He said, I'm not into dot dot dot the smell.

00:21:33.000 Exactly.

00:21:35.000 But imagine that from, so that's actually a good example because people are going to be like, what sane person does not like the smell of bakery fresh cinnamon buns? 0.95

00:21:43.000 Ian is insane.

00:21:45.000 Now imagine though, it's something very similar to that, but like political violence or January 6th or something, and you'll say something like, obviously no one's gonna come out and say, I support all of this violence.

00:21:56.000 And they're gonna be like, he responded with dot dot dot quote, I support all of this violence.

00:21:59.000 I had this thought over the weekend that whoever controlled in the past, whoever controlled the newspapers, controlled politics.

00:22:04.000 Like, you could write whatever you wanted and twist the entire world.

00:22:09.000 Now it's just that with social media.

00:22:11.000 Like, Twitter took down a hashtag of a trending.

00:22:14.000 That's not how trending works.

00:22:15.000 Trending is what's trending.

00:22:17.000 It's really funny the reason they did it, too.

00:22:19.000 Somebody was like, I don't like that name.

00:22:22.000 Stop letting people talk about it.

00:22:23.000 At some point, I think people will be fed up with private corporations controlling politics.

00:22:29.000 Well, let's talk a bit about that.

00:22:30.000 We have this story from People.

00:22:32.000 Crosby, Stills, Nash, and not Neil Young.

00:22:36.000 I don't know.

00:22:36.000 Crosby, Stills, and Nash Music is back on Spotify months after Joe Rogan boycott.

00:22:40.000 So the big story was that, you know, Joe Rogan, this compilation went viral and everyone was calling Joe Rogan racist and all that.

00:22:47.000 He apologized for it.

00:22:48.000 But all of these people were like, I'm taking my music off of Spotify.

00:22:52.000 And Crosby, Still, and Nash, as well as Neil Young, they did.

00:22:56.000 And they're back.

00:22:58.000 That's it.

00:22:58.000 They're back.

00:22:59.000 Actually, Neil Young, I guess half his music stayed on because he didn't own it anyway.

00:23:02.000 That was actually really funny.

00:23:03.000 But this is really important.

00:23:05.000 It shows you the depth of their values.

00:23:08.000 None.

00:23:09.000 Shallow.

00:23:09.000 Not even an inch deep.

00:23:11.000 They did this because it was major press.

00:23:12.000 Let me tell you guys.

00:23:14.000 When I was doing the Occupy Wall Street stuff, I had all of these companies hitting me up being like, we want to give you all these things, we want to hire you, and I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:23:22.000 Something happened in the press.

00:23:24.000 You want to put out your press release and be like, this guy's with us now, so you can get free press off of somebody else not interested.

00:23:30.000 That's all they did.

00:23:31.000 These guys, they probably had a manager who was like, guys, guys, now's your chance.

00:23:35.000 It's big in the news.

00:23:36.000 It's Joe Rogan.

00:23:37.000 He's the biggest podcaster.

00:23:38.000 Come out.

00:23:39.000 We'll craft some line for you.

00:23:41.000 We'll take your music down for a couple months.

00:23:43.000 We'll quietly put it back up.

00:23:44.000 No one will say anything.

00:23:45.000 You'll get tons of press.

00:23:47.000 People will buy tickets to your shows.

00:23:48.000 That's it.

00:23:49.000 That's American politics.

00:23:50.000 Politics is pop culture.

00:23:52.000 People are losing their minds. 1.00

00:23:53.000 They're throwing bricks at each other's faces because of dumb people like this. 0.99

00:23:57.000 I mean, an alternative explanation could be that they just didn't realize that it would have ultimately no impact on whether or not Joe Rogan stayed at Spotify. 0.99

00:24:04.000 Who's making more money for Spotify?

00:24:06.000 Joe Rogan?

00:24:07.000 Yeah.

00:24:08.000 Or his full group that nobody's heard of?

00:24:11.000 They're really famous!

00:24:13.000 They were.

00:24:13.000 Sure, but I mean, anymore?

00:24:15.000 How much money are they making off of streams? 0.95

00:24:17.000 Anywhere close to Joe Rogan?

00:24:18.000 That's right.

00:24:19.000 That's the right point.

00:24:20.000 From the demographics that are actually watching and listening to Spotify.

00:24:23.000 They realize Spotify didn't care about their over-inflated egos.

00:24:27.000 They came crawling back and then saying that they're going to give their proceeds to charity for COVID-19 disinformation.

00:24:35.000 To me, that seems like a very soft landing for them to return, to say, well, we're not doing this for ourselves.

00:24:41.000 We're just doing this for everybody else.

00:24:42.000 I don't know why they left.

00:24:43.000 To begin with, Neil Young was the thorn and he probably called Stills, Nash and Crosby and was like, dudes, we got to stop something, something, my politics.

00:24:54.000 And they're like, well, Neil knows what he's talking about.

00:24:56.000 All right, Neil, we got your back.

00:24:57.000 And then they left.

00:24:58.000 And they're like, what are we doing? 0.97

00:24:59.000 This is ridiculous.

00:25:01.000 I mean, anybody who left the band anyway. 0.83

00:25:04.000 Anybody who knows anything about Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young is that they've always been ardent authoritarians supporting the machine and the government.

00:25:11.000 This is par for the course for who they represent.

00:25:13.000 Through their music?

00:25:14.000 Their song 4 Dead in Ohio about the Kent State shootings.

00:25:16.000 In support of it!

00:25:17.000 Was all about supporting the shooting.

00:25:19.000 They love that.

00:25:20.000 I mean, they're about the most anti-authoritarian band in the 70s.

00:25:24.000 One of them.

00:25:25.000 One of the comments on this article was, like, about the fact that they're baby boomers, and baby boomers are all about having the appearance of being, like, freedom-fighting underdogs, but they're actually, like, totally pro-system.

00:25:40.000 I wonder if it's like when you're younger, you just give the middle finger to the previous generation, and then when you're older, you're like, not the next generation.

00:25:46.000 I think that's something they started.

00:25:48.000 Right, right, right.

00:25:49.000 I don't think it was ever like that before.

00:25:51.000 Didn't the baby boomers start that? 1.00

00:25:53.000 I don't think so.

00:25:54.000 I mean, there's that joke from the Simpsons we like to reference where Abe Simpson is like, I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was.

00:26:00.000 Now what it is is scary.

00:26:01.000 You know, you know that bit.

00:26:02.000 And then he's like, it'll happen to you too.

00:26:04.000 Radio radicalized the youth of the time.

00:26:06.000 And then TV, it was the TV generation finally was like, look at what we are.

00:26:10.000 We can't have men beating women. 1.00

00:26:12.000 That's not normal.

00:26:12.000 Like we got to fix something about society.

00:26:15.000 Cause in the TV shows that he's smacking and smacking and they're like, wow, what have we become?

00:26:19.000 Um, so they were kind of the first generation that was able to- I don't know, I like Sean Connery's.

00:26:24.000 I like Sean Connery.

00:26:25.000 And he talks about backhanding women. 0.93

00:26:27.000 There's videos of him, like, in defense of backhanding, you know?

00:26:29.000 It's crazy.

00:26:30.000 It's funny.

00:26:31.000 Does he do that?

00:26:32.000 Yeah!

00:26:32.000 There's a video of him, like, talking about why it's quality and what's the value of it and all that on YouTube.

00:26:37.000 Really?

00:26:38.000 Yeah, it was well after it was, like, decided not cool.

00:26:40.000 And good on him!

00:26:42.000 These guys, just because of TV and mass media, this is, like, the mass media generation these days.

00:26:46.000 Wasn't there, like, some singer who would beat his kids with a sack of oranges?

00:26:49.000 Oh, my God.

00:26:50.000 I don't know.

00:26:50.000 Why a sack of oranges?

00:26:52.000 Because it hurts you, but the damage is to the flesh of the orange, so it doesn't show marks or something like that.

00:26:58.000 Oh, jeez.

00:26:58.000 Oh, my gosh.

00:26:59.000 Yeah, it's terrible.

00:27:00.000 That's pretty brutal.

00:27:01.000 Dude, I think like the silent... What is this, like the silent generation or the lost generation? 0.54

00:27:04.000 The World War II generation, they were brutal.

00:27:06.000 Were they the greatest generation?

00:27:08.000 No, that was before.

00:27:08.000 I think when we started naming the generations, that was like when the mistakes started happening.

00:27:14.000 I mean, was it the lost generation?

00:27:16.000 Is that the last one?

00:27:17.000 Like the first one we haven't recorded or something?

00:27:19.000 That's like the late 1800s.

00:27:20.000 1800s.

00:27:20.000 Yeah, the silent generation.

00:27:22.000 No, that was the silent afterwards.

00:27:24.000 Yeah.

00:27:24.000 And then the greatest generation, but there's like, it's like, it's like, there's like overlap because, you know, so.

00:27:28.000 It's hard to define different generations because there's, there's always going to be some, some overlap between them.

00:27:34.000 Because people have kids all the time.

00:27:35.000 Yeah.

00:27:36.000 So it's not like every seven years everyone goes into a chamber to have children or something.

00:27:41.000 And there are various social events that will define a generation, that they go through certain experiences, that when you're towards the beginning or towards the end of that generation, you're going to have some blend with the other lifetime experiences as well.

00:27:56.000 You know, like Millennials have gone through 9-11 and the Great Recession and COVID, but, you know, Generation Z or what have you hasn't gone through some of those earlier things.

00:28:06.000 Yeah.

00:28:06.000 So, but there's going to be some blend between the two where the two intersect.

00:28:10.000 I wonder how that's going to affect Gen Z. Obviously, the older generation had, depending on which generation, you had Vietnam and things like that, and the draft, the boomers.

00:28:19.000 And then with the millennials, you had 9-11.

00:28:21.000 And so, you know, I don't know how old you are.

00:28:23.000 You're a woman, so do you mention your age?

00:28:26.000 I have before.

00:28:26.000 I'm 34.

00:28:26.000 I can say that.

00:28:29.000 Okay, yeah.

00:28:30.000 Sometimes, you know, what I always say is... I think I'm 34.

00:28:33.000 Yeah.

00:28:33.000 You just ask a woman, are you old enough to her?

00:28:35.000 If I ask your age, you'll be offended. 1.00

00:28:36.000 And then you can get a general idea.

00:28:39.000 So we all experienced 9-11, but you didn't, Mary.

00:28:43.000 No, I was a year old.

00:28:44.000 Right, right.

00:28:44.000 Holy cow.

00:28:45.000 Yeah, so you didn't.

00:28:47.000 I wonder how that's going to impact your view of the world relative to everyone else.

00:28:52.000 Because you're kind of like a nihilistic, Oh, I don't think I'm a nihilist.

00:28:57.000 Because I'm Catholic, so... Sure, that's true.

00:28:59.000 But I don't think I represent other people in my generation either.

00:29:04.000 For that very reason.

00:29:05.000 It's like, is Gen Z going to be more based or more woke?

00:29:09.000 You know what I mean?

00:29:10.000 So far, like, I would like to say more based, but really, the reality is we're just more polarized.

00:29:17.000 So like, more extreme on both ends.

00:29:20.000 Yeah, so when the Millennials are in charge, and then you're going to have Gen Z, Gen Alpha, and then what comes after Alpha? 0.69

00:29:27.000 Alpha Gen.

00:29:28.000 I don't even want to think that far ahead.

00:29:30.000 Beta Gen. 0.98

00:29:30.000 The Betas, dude. 0.98

00:29:31.000 That's when the rise of the Betas.

00:29:32.000 Gen Alpha is like the tablet babies during COVID who didn't see a human face for three years. 0.72

00:29:37.000 Oh man, oh no.

00:29:38.000 Alpha Gen.

00:29:39.000 And they can't read like these kids?

00:29:40.000 They can't talk? 1.00

00:29:42.000 They're screwed. 1.00

00:29:43.000 Yup. 1.00

00:29:45.000 Yeah, you guys ever see that story about the scientists found a young girl that was raised by wolves or something?

00:29:50.000 Yeah.

00:29:50.000 And she couldn't learn English.

00:29:52.000 Right.

00:29:52.000 Because her brain had moved on to a certain level of development where you need to have society in order for your brain, those neurons, to connect.

00:30:00.000 And if your brain develops beyond that point before they connect, you can't develop the ability to use language.

00:30:08.000 Yeah.

00:30:08.000 She could say, like, grunts.

00:30:09.000 She could be like, eat! 0.93

00:30:11.000 Food!

00:30:11.000 Wow.

00:30:12.000 Yeah, I think... Water!

00:30:14.000 That girl, she was held captive by her father until she was found at 13 or so.

00:30:20.000 She eventually was able to use language, but she never was ever at a normal level.

00:30:25.000 She was never able to be independent at all.

00:30:31.000 Like, think about it this way, too.

00:30:32.000 There are people who are extremely brilliant, but when they, like, they don't speak English.

00:30:36.000 When they learn English, they can't use English the same way a proficient English speaker would, because their brains have already, like, hardened, right?

00:30:43.000 So that's why you'll see people who are, like, in their 50s learn English.

00:30:47.000 You can speak to them, you can communicate, but for some reason they won't say, like, the, or, you know, an, or in, like, you know what I mean?

00:30:54.000 I think it depends on how many languages they've learned before that, though.

00:30:57.000 For sure.

00:30:57.000 I'm just saying that there are very intelligent people who in their native tongue could explain to you theories of the universe, but in English, you know, say like, me like eat pizza.

00:31:08.000 Fun.

00:31:08.000 And you're like, I got the idea.

00:31:11.000 Say it in your, you know, first language and you're going to be like, the beautiful thing about pizza is when you get the cheese and the sauce and it's all melty and delicious.

00:31:17.000 But they just don't, they don't speak properly.

00:31:18.000 You know what I mean?

00:31:19.000 Salvador Dali is a good example of that.

00:31:21.000 He was like the first artist of the TV generation of like the mass media, as we know it, radio, TV.

00:31:27.000 And he was Spanish.

00:31:28.000 You know, I think it's Spanish is his native language.

00:31:30.000 Barely spoke English, very rough. 1.00

00:31:31.000 And you could tell he's like brilliantly talking about the Fibonacci sequence in his art.

00:31:36.000 If you've ever seen Dali's art, it's the most surrealist and amazing stuff.

00:31:39.000 But when he speaks English, it's like, you can barely understand what he's saying.

00:31:42.000 And people would just sit there and kind of like get bored, which is unfortunate because he was such a genius.

00:31:45.000 I don't know.

00:31:48.000 I think Americans are some of the most, like, gracious about that because so many people have immigrated here.

00:31:52.000 I think it depends though.

00:31:53.000 I don't know.

00:31:53.000 I think Americans are some of the most like gracious about that because so many people have immigrated here

00:31:59.000 I think it depends though. I don't know. I've seen both sides of that

00:32:02.000 Yeah, I mean, but like try to speak French in France. I They're gonna be mean to you.

00:32:08.000 When I went to Spain, they were mean to me.

00:32:10.000 And I can actually speak, like, baby-kindergarten level Spanish.

00:32:14.000 And they would, like, man, I was surprised.

00:32:15.000 I think in America we at least appreciate that someone is trying.

00:32:19.000 I think it also depends on the size of the country, too, and the level of spread of that language across the world.

00:32:26.000 If it's a smaller country with a smaller language, or a language that's spoken by fewer people, they definitely will appreciate the effort.

00:32:32.000 I think there's a through line with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young with this, because people from that generation, their brains have formed, and now with this new information of the age, it's like, Yeah, they knew that Vietnam was screwed. 0.81

00:32:43.000 They knew that there was maybe false flags.

00:32:45.000 They knew, but they didn't quite understand the liberal economic order, whatever you want to call it, this world order thing that had been established.

00:32:53.000 They didn't understand that there was like a multinational corporate attempt at a takeover of the planet.

00:33:01.000 They just thought like, Righteousness is good.

00:33:05.000 The American government's bad.

00:33:07.000 Let's work it out.

00:33:08.000 I don't understand, then, why do boomers trust authoritarian regimes so easily?

00:33:15.000 Why do they trust authority so automatically?

00:33:17.000 They got a lot of value from the American dream, I put in quotes.

00:33:23.000 They really sucked off the teat of the American just mass printing of money from 1950 to 1990.

00:33:29.000 They they became so wealthy and safe. 0.85

00:33:33.000 And the worst thing is they think they earned all of it.

00:33:35.000 Yeah, right.

00:33:35.000 Like it was their hard work.

00:33:36.000 And then they call Millennials entitled.

00:33:38.000 Guess what?

00:33:39.000 We were a colonizing slave state.

00:33:41.000 They are entitled, but the boomers are like just as entitled, if not more. 1.00

00:33:45.000 Boomers are Boomers did a lot of really good things, but I feel like all generations have their good side and their bad side, and it's increasingly getting polarized. 0.93

00:33:56.000 So there are the boomers who are the lazy layabouts with snowplow parents who raised really awful children, and then there's the boomers who made things like Star Trek The Next Generation and, you know, pursued civil liberties, and to this day we still have people, you know, that are boomers that are doing well. 0.82

00:34:13.000 It's just that, you know, I think when we complain, we focus on the bad and ignore the fact that we did get some really awesome stuff.

00:34:21.000 I would not be here today if there were not good boomers who did something right. 1.00

00:34:24.000 Sure.

00:34:25.000 And the people listening to the show and, you know, like everyone else's parents.

00:34:29.000 It's just like we're focused on the bad.

00:34:31.000 So they're good millennials too.

00:34:32.000 Like obviously we're millennials and, you know, we're doing all right.

00:34:36.000 I think so.

00:34:36.000 And then there are bad millennials who are screaming that like their rent should be free.

00:34:41.000 But like, what portion are each of those sides?

00:34:45.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:34:46.000 I wonder.

00:34:46.000 You need data on that.

00:34:48.000 Yeah, but I genuinely feel like when you look at most social media, millennials are messed up. 0.98

00:34:54.000 Let me see if I can pull up this story.

00:34:56.000 Let me see if I can try and find a story.

00:34:58.000 We're gonna jump ahead a little bit and I'll tell you how messed up millennials are. 0.99

00:35:01.000 Here we go. 0.98

00:35:02.000 I got this tweet where I wrote, brain rot.

00:35:05.000 It is a woman and she's 11.6 million views. 1.00

00:35:09.000 She posts on her TikTok, lost a patient today.

00:35:12.000 And then she's like, she set up the camera, she's filming herself.

00:35:15.000 She leans up against the wall, shake it off, you have five more hours. 0.99

00:35:18.000 She's a nurse or whatever, or a doctor. 0.93

00:35:20.000 I don't know, maybe a fancy doctor.

00:35:21.000 And this right here is, in my opinion, the problem with everything.

00:35:27.000 It's not just millennials.

00:35:29.000 It's the younger generation on social media.

00:35:30.000 They're all doing this.

00:35:32.000 They are desperate for validation and attention.

00:35:34.000 And so everything about their lives is fake, made up.

00:35:38.000 This is very scary, right?

00:35:40.000 So we saw some tragedies take place in a couple cities, Philadelphia and in Highland Park.

00:35:45.000 And why does that kind of thing happen?

00:35:47.000 Well, we often talk about it.

00:35:48.000 These guys want their name in the news.

00:35:49.000 They want to be on TV.

00:35:50.000 They want people to know who they are.

00:35:51.000 They want to be a part of history.

00:35:54.000 They're often loners, on antidepressants, things like that.

00:35:58.000 So it all makes sense.

00:35:59.000 No one is giving them the time of day.

00:36:00.000 Humans are social creatures who crave social interaction.

00:36:04.000 This is on the same wavelength?

00:36:07.000 Totally opposite ends.

00:36:09.000 Like, okay, some lady made a fake video where she pretended to mourn, and it's very vapid, and all that stuff.

00:36:14.000 Fine.

00:36:14.000 She didn't go out and hurt anybody, so they're very, very different.

00:36:17.000 But there's a similar thread stitching these things in that people will do whatever it takes to get those likes on social media so that they can feel validated because they don't have the mental fortitude to feel good about themselves on their own.

00:36:31.000 This is the millennial generation.

00:36:32.000 Gen Z is very similar.

00:36:34.000 of these I remember I went to VidCon I think it was like 2016 and there were

00:36:38.000 these little kids so this is eight years ago this is there six years ago this is

00:36:42.000 crazy there were a bunch of little kids and as I'm walking past and one goes how

00:36:46.000 many followers do you have I have 43 and he goes I got 82 you have 82 followers

00:36:52.000 and I was like those kids are going to be messed up that's where we're going

00:36:57.000 Gary Vee will tell kids that.

00:36:58.000 Don't worry about the number of followers you have.

00:37:01.000 Focus on the quality and having fun and being happy and making things you like.

00:37:06.000 But this video is a perfect example of why the country is imploding.

00:37:10.000 And it really, really is.

00:37:11.000 Think about it.

00:37:12.000 What we see with virtue signaling, the woke people, Ellen Page, you better delete that viral trend because you said the wrong name.

00:37:19.000 Yo, 99% of people, I guarantee you if you walked down the street in any major city and said, do you know who Elliot Page is, they'd be like, no.

00:37:28.000 And if you said, do you know who Ellen Page is, they'd be like, oh yeah, yeah, from X-Men.

00:37:31.000 Like, did you know that it's bigoted to say that name?

00:37:33.000 They'd be like, I have no idea.

00:37:35.000 Yet those people would innocently go on Twitter and say something like, big fan of Ellen Page in those movies, she is super cool, and then banned, not allowed. 0.99

00:37:45.000 That's happening because these people are like, I'm gonna get attention.

00:37:48.000 Here's a really good example.

00:37:49.000 Do you guys see that?

00:37:50.000 What's his name?

00:37:50.000 Griffin Green?

00:37:51.000 You guys hear about this guy?

00:37:52.000 You heard about him, right?

00:37:53.000 Bodega Bro. 0.65

00:37:55.000 Oh, yeah.

00:37:55.000 I didn't know his real name.

00:37:57.000 I only knew Bodega Bro.

00:37:58.000 Bodega Bro. 0.65

00:37:59.000 So there's this dude.

00:38:00.000 This is an amazing story.

00:38:01.000 He moves to New York for a job and he's this really kind of like...

00:38:06.000 I don't know what the right word is.

00:38:07.000 Doofy? 0.95

00:38:08.000 It's like an endearing kind of general ignorance. 0.97

00:38:12.000 Okay.

00:38:12.000 I'm not insulting him.

00:38:13.000 I'm saying he just didn't understand New York. 0.98

00:38:15.000 It's probably a good thing to be ignorant of New York City. 0.98

00:38:18.000 For sure.

00:38:18.000 But so he's walking around and he's like, I'm trying to find a grocery store in New York.

00:38:22.000 I can't find anything.

00:38:24.000 And he's like, Google Maps keeps sending me to these places.

00:38:27.000 He's like, yo, what's going on?

00:38:28.000 And it's like, they're making sandwiches.

00:38:29.000 It's a bodega.

00:38:30.000 Someone Reported him to his company.

00:38:33.000 They're like, are you gonna employ this person?

00:38:35.000 So they fire him.

00:38:37.000 People get mad at this dude who reported him.

00:38:39.000 And so then that dude makes a video where he's like, I'm being harassed on the internet.

00:38:42.000 You have no idea what it feels like when people are coming after you.

00:38:45.000 And it's like, bro, you just did this. 0.99

00:38:47.000 These people, their brains are putty, it's mush. 0.97

00:38:52.000 They're going on social media and they're like, I'm gonna get attention by tattletaling on someone. 1.00

00:38:57.000 And then it's just a big swarm of people flinging crap at each other.

00:39:01.000 All for the sake of getting more clicks, getting more attention, to the point where, 0.93

00:39:05.000 yo, someone died.

00:39:07.000 I don't actually know if someone died, she could be faking it.

00:39:09.000 But you're going to be wearing your scrubs, frame your camera, get it set up, press record, look back, check your hair, stand back and then go, oh, someone died!

00:39:17.000 It's the same callousness and indifference to human life.

00:39:20.000 I think really what's happening here, to me anyway, my impression is that we've really just commodified connection, which is something that ultimately we really need.

00:39:29.000 Like you said, we are social creatures.

00:39:32.000 All humans need connection, and so as our technology gets more and more advanced, that is supposed to ironically bring us together more and more, we are ironically being sort of forced apart more so, and especially since the pandemic.

00:39:47.000 So, you know, combine that with the American tendency to, I mean, this is going back to my college days of sociology classes that I took on, like, our American cultural roots of being, cultural roots in Calvinism and Puritans and that kind of stuff, that, like, they would look for signs of being part of the saved, you know, the part of, you know, Yeah, exactly, the elect, reaching salvation and whatnot.

00:40:20.000 So they would look for signs for that being like, you know, signs of wealth.

00:40:23.000 It means that you're not spending your money.

00:40:25.000 It means that you are accumulating your wealth.

00:40:26.000 It means that you are working very hard, very diligently.

00:40:29.000 So those were all virtues.

00:40:30.000 So we just as a culture from our very, very cultural, early historical underpinnings, we have had a long tradition of sort of commodifying Our virtues.

00:40:44.000 So it makes a lot of sense that in the age of social media, in the age of likes and subscribes and shares, that that's the way that we'll view those virtues of having connection, having a personal connection with other individuals.

00:40:57.000 And especially like a clip like that, that has a lot of emotion involved in it.

00:41:03.000 I mean, we're talking about death.

00:41:04.000 We're talking about grief.

00:41:05.000 That is a pretty strong, I guess you could say, force for somebody to want to Give some kind of connection to that kind of emotion.

00:41:15.000 I think you're right about the commodification of virtue and all that stuff, but there was a unified message in this country, so that commodification was mostly unified, a single track.

00:41:29.000 When the Dixie Chicks, I think it was, do you know who the Dixie Chicks are? 0.89

00:41:32.000 Yeah.

00:41:32.000 You do?

00:41:32.000 Okay.

00:41:33.000 When they came out, I think they criticized the war, right?

00:41:35.000 That's what happened?

00:41:36.000 Yeah, the war in Iraq.

00:41:37.000 George W. Bush.

00:41:38.000 And then it was a bad thing, you can't do that.

00:41:40.000 They got canceled.

00:41:41.000 They got canceled.

00:41:42.000 Now they're just called... They had to go by the chicks. 1.00

00:41:44.000 Yeah, now they're just the chicks. 1.00

00:41:45.000 And then we were joking, me and Brett were joking, that you can't call women chicks anymore, so they're just gonna be the... You can't. 0.90

00:41:51.000 It's offensive.

00:41:53.000 But back then, even though most... You had Democrats and Republicans, and you had a big anti-war movement, the mainstream narrative was, Don't rag on the soldiers, or criticism of the war was criticism of the soldiers.

00:42:07.000 Something happened, and I think it has a lot to do with the internet, where a divergent culture emerged.

00:42:12.000 We split, and two markets developed.

00:42:16.000 You had a market for angst and wokeness, and you had a market for opposing it, free speech, liberty, freedom, all that stuff, kind of where we ended up.

00:42:26.000 And then that market split.

00:42:29.000 It probably could have been stopped if in the late 2000s, Someone came out and was like, yo, yo, yo, yo, we are hard-forking here as an American culture.

00:42:36.000 But no one did anything.

00:42:37.000 So American culture forked.

00:42:39.000 And I think it has a lot to do with, in cities, with the internet, messaging spread so rapidly that the left dramatically changed their position faster than the right could keep in line with it.

00:42:50.000 There's a good example, I can maybe pull up in a second, from the New York Times, where it shows, in 2008, the left veers off like that and the right just keeps going.

00:42:59.000 When that happened, you end up with tens of millions of people, all with money, creating a massive market opportunity for woke virtue signaling.

00:43:08.000 That will never stop.

00:43:10.000 So at this point, I would say, you know, I was wondering, like, how do we stop the country from collapsing?

00:43:15.000 Like, what are the real solutions?

00:43:17.000 And I don't want to say it's blackmail to think this, I think it's more realism.

00:43:20.000 You can't, and the reason is, there is money to be made if you are woke. 0.95

00:43:25.000 You could disincentivize money and focus more on goods and services.

00:43:28.000 I think that's something that could keep us together.

00:43:31.000 necessitate the expansion of messaging in favor of these two massive groups.

00:43:35.000 You could disincentivize money and focus more on goods and services.

00:43:38.000 I think that's something that could keep us together.

00:43:41.000 How do we get the grain from Kansas around the country so we can all eat?

00:43:46.000 And I mean, there's also the possibility that people get oversaturated by it and people

00:43:51.000 get tired of it.

00:43:52.000 And then eventually they want to find something that is a little bit more moderated.

00:43:56.000 I just watched a documentary on BuzzFeed yesterday, I think it was yesterday or the day before, and how they were really leading, spearheading this, what you were calling a commodification of hate or whatever.

00:44:07.000 But like 2012, 13, it's like identity politics.

00:44:11.000 They'd be like, 25 things that black people can identify with.

00:44:16.000 Twelve things that women really want. 1.00

00:44:18.000 Eighteen things a gay man can get down with, and you're like, all of a sudden, it's getting, then it's like a black gay man, and then it's hate gets involved, like, four things that you just, women just can't stand. 0.73

00:44:29.000 And then the Boston bombing, people are profiting off of the news. 0.60

00:44:32.000 Anyway, I could go on about this.

00:44:33.000 I want to break that down.

00:44:34.000 I want to show this real quick, and then explain what Ian's saying.

00:44:36.000 So this is what happened to the political center from the New York Times, and you can see in 2008, The left, the Democratic Party.

00:44:43.000 Look at that chart.

00:44:44.000 Just look at that.

00:44:45.000 The blue line shooting super far left.

00:44:49.000 You see where it says median party?

00:44:50.000 That's the median party of Europe.

00:44:53.000 So the United States, for some reason, in eight years, became left of center for European political parties, which are already relatively far left.

00:45:02.000 Now, of course, the left will look at that and say, oh, see, we're only center left.

00:45:05.000 The Republican Party's far right.

00:45:07.000 And it's like, no, no, no, that's American culture.

00:45:09.000 You can disagree with it, but this shows the left went far left relative to where Americans are.

00:45:14.000 And I'll tell you how it happened.

00:45:15.000 As Ian was pointing out, BuzzFeed was creating articles where it was like about black people, about gay people.

00:45:20.000 Those were buzzwords.

00:45:21.000 The algorithm would latch onto words and then pump them out.

00:45:26.000 And what happens, I remember this, man.

00:45:28.000 You guys probably remember this too.

00:45:29.000 I don't know if you remember this.

00:45:30.000 All the police brutality videos, all, that's all Facebook was.

00:45:34.000 It was like you'd go on Facebook and it was just endless videos of police brutality, rap songs about police brutality.

00:45:38.000 That's all it was.

00:45:40.000 So what happens is you get companies like BuzzFeed where they're like, Hey, we got a million clicks on that police brutality video.

00:45:45.000 Why?

00:45:45.000 Well, because people don't like injustice.

00:45:47.000 Then they were like, Hey, I made an article that was talking about police brutality and racism.

00:45:52.000 It got twice as many views.

00:45:54.000 So they start cramming all the different keywords as possible into as many articles as possible, and then you get intersectional feminism. 1.00

00:46:01.000 And then they'll be like, hey, there's no racist, violent things that happened today.

00:46:05.000 What's our next article going to be?

00:46:06.000 It's not that they're going out there and creating the racist violence, necessarily, but there is an incentive to see more racist violence.

00:46:13.000 And you will literally, as someone that does that stuff, hope for something like that to happen so that you can make a lot of money off it.

00:46:22.000 So here's the fight.

00:46:23.000 Here's the political battle.

00:46:25.000 Can you pull this back up, the New York Times thing?

00:46:27.000 If you are in the middle of the road from 2000, let's say you weren't a Democrat, you weren't a Republican, you were a moderate, you're in between.

00:46:36.000 You likely did not get pulled far left along with the Democratic Party.

00:46:40.000 You probably floated somewhere in the middle like this, like me.

00:46:44.000 Maybe to a certain extent, a bit like Ian or a bit like Joe Rogan or Elon Musk.

00:46:49.000 So now, if you were in the middle, the Republican Party, well, they're kind of right wing compared to where I am, but the left, I can't even see where they're at.

00:46:59.000 So this is what happens.

00:47:00.000 There was a tweet from Libby Emmons about how the Democrats went so pro-abortion that a lot of people just were like, like Democrats were like, yo, I'm out and they lost the fight.

00:47:08.000 They had no support anymore.

00:47:10.000 And then I see this on Twitter, the commodification of virtue.

00:47:13.000 The centrists are just far right.

00:47:14.000 The center has moved far right.

00:47:16.000 The moderates are being radicalized.

00:47:18.000 And I'm just like, if you are in the Democratic Party and you veered that far left, you don't think you moved.

00:47:26.000 You're the same normal person you've always been.

00:47:28.000 It's like if you go underwater and then you look up at people on the surface, you're like, everyone's blurry now.

00:47:33.000 Exactly.

00:47:33.000 But like, dude, that's because get out of the water and everyone's still normal, man.

00:47:37.000 So here's the issue, though.

00:47:39.000 These people, They built a following.

00:47:42.000 They've got millions of followers.

00:47:43.000 They can't just stop.

00:47:44.000 CNN.

00:47:46.000 They used to be, they used to cover the news.

00:47:48.000 Now it's just Orange Man bad all day, every day, January 6th and whatever they can milk out of it.

00:47:54.000 If CNN comes out now and says, we're going to go back to reporting the news, no one will watch them because they'll lose the zealot fans they got.

00:48:02.000 And they already lost the news fans.

00:48:04.000 They, well, they lost them a long time ago.

00:48:06.000 So they have no choice.

00:48:07.000 It's an addiction and they've done it to themselves.

00:48:09.000 Yeah, I was just thinking that I think that an important factor in that is the actual emotional addiction, or maybe not emotional, but the addiction that some people actually have to these emotions that they feel with regard to these various stories.

00:48:26.000 Oh, right.

00:48:26.000 The whistleblower?

00:48:27.000 What's her face?

00:48:30.000 She testified in front of Congress about Facebook.

00:48:33.000 This was, I don't know how many months ago.

00:48:36.000 She was a former, she was supposed to be working on their election.

00:48:38.000 Oh right, the whistleblower?

00:48:39.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Facebook whistleblower.

00:48:41.000 Quote on quote.

00:48:43.000 But she was talking about that, how she had said that there was some kind of studies.

00:48:48.000 I'm really reaching back without having looked at this after months, but she was saying that that was one of the big issues is that Is that people were actually showing signs of addiction to rage.

00:49:03.000 And so it's like how do you get somebody off of that sort of a substance when it's everywhere and there's every incentive for them to continue profiting off of it?

00:49:13.000 Well, so there are... Dave Rubin's got this, Joe Rogan's got this, I've obviously got this.

00:49:18.000 There are people who take clips out of context on purpose because they know there's a market for tribal rage.

00:49:25.000 So we try to have people on the left on the show, and we've had a few, but...

00:49:29.000 I would say the overwhelming majority of them won't come on.

00:49:32.000 They'll cancel, they'll refuse, or they'll use it to rally their base because their virtues ignores.

00:49:36.000 So there's one guy in particular who's like, oh, come on, and then when we actually were like, okay, sure, he privately says I'm not actually doing it, then goes to his fans and blames me for not allowing it, and now uses that to rile them up and say, see?

00:49:48.000 See what I told you?

00:49:50.000 And it's crazy because I'm like, yo, we genuinely tried.

00:49:53.000 to have some of these people on and they legit spit on us and laughed and said, now we're going

00:49:57.000 to make money off you. Then they go to their base and say, there were the actual bad guys.

00:50:01.000 So this is the crazy thing. We are trying to get those people out of the cult.

00:50:07.000 They think we're in the cult.

00:50:09.000 But these are the people who believed Jussie Smollett.

00:50:11.000 These are the people who believed Russiagate.

00:50:13.000 These are the people who believed Hands Up, Don't Shoot.

00:50:14.000 These are the people who believed the Covington Kids story.

00:50:16.000 These are the people who believed Ukrainegate.

00:50:18.000 These are the people who believed the Very Fine People hoax.

00:50:20.000 These are the people who never once stopped to actually check the evidence themselves.

00:50:25.000 And there are many of them.

00:50:27.000 And they have money.

00:50:28.000 And their money is easily parted from them by these people.

00:50:31.000 That is the big challenge.

00:50:32.000 And so long as there are these prominent left-wing personalities who will pander to them, there's going to be a division that is moving us towards catastrophe.

00:50:41.000 But, that being said, this next story is a bit more of good news.

00:50:46.000 From the Washington Examiner, Joe Rogan will never have Trump on podcast, not interested in helping him.

00:50:52.000 Now, That isn't the story I'm actually pointing out.

00:50:55.000 You have to dig a little deeper to see what the big story is, and it's where Joe Rogan says Trump is running against a dead man.

00:51:04.000 That's the important point.

00:51:06.000 Joe Rogan has praised Ron DeSantis, saying he'd be a good president.

00:51:09.000 He doesn't want to help Trump.

00:51:10.000 But if the regular person, if Joe Rogan is the barometer for UFC commentator, mainstream comedian, I'd be willing to bet Joe Rogan is where most Americans probably are.

00:51:22.000 And they are not far left.

00:51:24.000 They are tired of the woke stuff.

00:51:26.000 They don't like Donald Trump.

00:51:28.000 Ron DeSantis would probably be alright.

00:51:29.000 That's good news.

00:51:31.000 It means that cult may have been breaking itself so far off from the mainstream America that eventually they're going to lose money, run out, and then they're not going to be a part of the economy anymore.

00:51:40.000 And when that market dries up, people start walking away.

00:51:44.000 I have to imagine with Joe Rogan being who he is for the past several years saying what he said, a lot of regular people are moving away from that stuff.

00:51:53.000 They're getting out of it.

00:51:55.000 So he's not threatening Joe Biden by calling him a dead man, but he's basically pointing out that Joe's not going to win.

00:52:02.000 He can't win.

00:52:03.000 Right.

00:52:04.000 I think Joe's been saying that for a while, though, hasn't he?

00:52:06.000 Rogan?

00:52:06.000 Yeah.

00:52:07.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:52:07.000 About Biden.

00:52:08.000 Oh, no, no, for sure, for sure.

00:52:09.000 I just mean, like, here's the latest context around it.

00:52:11.000 So does he mean, I'm not interested in helping Trump because Trump doesn't need any help at this point?

00:52:18.000 He has no competition.

00:52:20.000 He's saying he doesn't.

00:52:21.000 I think Joe says, I'm not a Trump supporter.

00:52:23.000 I'm not going to help him out.

00:52:24.000 I'm not going to have him on the show.

00:52:25.000 Now that says to me, Joe Rogan's taking a hard political stance.

00:52:29.000 Because for me, as you know, like as a host of a show, I actually don't care about helping someone or hurting someone. 0.97

00:52:36.000 That's ridiculous.

00:52:38.000 You know, no offense to Joe. 0.86

00:52:39.000 My attitude is if we're going to have a conversation and talk about these things and we need to, well, maybe it'll help you or not.

00:52:45.000 But it's interesting what Joe's saying right there.

00:52:48.000 Yeah, that makes sense.

00:52:49.000 Trump goes on his show, it will help Trump.

00:52:51.000 What does that mean?

00:52:52.000 It means that Trump is more correct that Trump will expose the media's lies and that will

00:52:57.000 help him.

00:52:58.000 Obviously it'll give him exposure, but if Trump was wrong about everything going on

00:53:03.000 his show would expose him, right?

00:53:05.000 It would hurt him, wouldn't it?

00:53:06.000 Right?

00:53:07.000 Yeah, that makes sense.

00:53:08.000 Joe logically checks out.

00:53:10.000 Joe thinks Trump is right to a certain degree.

00:53:13.000 Maybe not in everything.

00:53:14.000 Maybe he doesn't think he's a good person.

00:53:16.000 But he thinks enough that if Trump were to come on his show, it would benefit him.

00:53:20.000 Or at the very least, he just thinks that Trump is a very convincing person.

00:53:24.000 Maybe.

00:53:25.000 But I think the reality is, Joe knows that, that Rogan knows Biden is out of it.

00:53:32.000 And that people elected a guy who was burning this country to the ground because they hate Trump.

00:53:36.000 Trump will come on.

00:53:37.000 Trump will say, remember 2019?

00:53:40.000 Remember this policy?

00:53:41.000 Remember when I did this?

00:53:42.000 And people are gonna be like, that's true. 0.98

00:53:44.000 And there is a reality to what Donald Trump was doing when he was president that, man, he had a potty mouth.

00:53:48.000 He was not a nice guy in a lot of ways.

00:53:51.000 He's a nice guy in a lot of ways, but not a nice guy in a lot of ways, you know?

00:53:55.000 And I think if people start hearing what Trump has to say on a platform like that, it will greatly help Trump, not because he's just convincing, but because he's right.

00:54:04.000 It would help Trump in general to have more public showings.

00:54:09.000 I haven't even seen him talk in, like, I think I saw one interview with him in the last two years.

00:54:13.000 I'm kind of with Joe on this in that I think about having Donald on this podcast because it would, one, it would be great for the podcast.

00:54:21.000 It would have huge numbers.

00:54:22.000 Two, you know, whatever.

00:54:23.000 It's a political candidate.

00:54:24.000 And that's all that matters.

00:54:25.000 Feeding fodder to the base, right?

00:54:27.000 Part of me is like, wow, the profitability of selling out, wow.

00:54:30.000 But I don't, never really, I mean, Trump's just, he's like divisive.

00:54:35.000 I don't know, I don't hate him, but I'd have Biden on the show, too.

00:54:38.000 It's not like I hate the guy.

00:54:38.000 Why?

00:54:39.000 You'd have them both on?

00:54:39.000 Yeah, because of the political prowess, because they have been the president of the United States.

00:54:43.000 Well, you could have some interesting conversations with either one.

00:54:45.000 I would love to have Biden on this show.

00:54:47.000 It'd be great.

00:54:48.000 I would rather have Biden than Trump, you know, because I just, so Burisma, Viktor Shokin, Mykola Zaychevsky, let's talk Ukraine, buddy.

00:54:57.000 You'd be like, I gotta go.

00:54:58.000 Yeah, he'd be like, I'm leaving.

00:55:00.000 With Trump, I'd say stuff like, I disagree with your fraud narrative.

00:55:02.000 I'd ask him questions.

00:55:04.000 But Trump's issue is that they call him a liar all the time.

00:55:06.000 And I'm like, maybe he's just wrong. 0.99

00:55:08.000 Trump lies about dumb ego stuff, like how big and famous he is and things like that. 0.98

00:55:13.000 I don't care about that. 0.99

00:55:14.000 He makes big promises, too, with, I think, no idea of how to follow through.

00:55:18.000 Like, I'm going to drain the swamp.

00:55:19.000 What did that even mean?

00:55:20.000 Did he even have an idea of what that meant?

00:55:22.000 Because he didn't fire a lot of people.

00:55:23.000 There was an actual pool outside the White House that he was actually going to drain.

00:55:28.000 So we're still waiting on that?

00:55:29.000 I kept my promise and I did do a swap by the way.

00:55:32.000 You can go swimming now.

00:55:35.000 I can ask Trump.

00:55:36.000 So like the things I could criticize Trump over is like the State Department was advertising Trump properties in the UK.

00:55:42.000 That's not okay.

00:55:44.000 Trump tried using Doral in Florida for I think it was the G7.

00:55:47.000 That's not okay.

00:55:48.000 Trump eventually rescinded that and said, okay, I won't do it.

00:55:50.000 I thought I was going to save him money.

00:55:51.000 And I'm like, it's a conflict of interest.

00:55:53.000 But he was pulling our troops out of the Middle East. 0.98

00:55:55.000 Like the one thing you can really get him for is like, You're kind of a dick to a lot of people and people didn't 0.98

00:56:00.000 like that, but so was Joe Biden. 0.98

00:56:02.000 Joe Biden launched his campaign off the very fine people hoax.

00:56:05.000 It was a hoax. That's the craziest thing. His campaign video was that Donald Trump praised

00:56:11.000 white nationalists, which never happened.

00:56:14.000 He made it up to make people hate. That is psychotic. 1.00

00:56:19.000 I think that, I think they're both kind of, kind of a dick. 1.00

00:56:21.000 Like, um, Biden was really mean to that, that guy who was asking him about something. 0.99

00:56:26.000 Like the gun control guy.

00:56:27.000 Yeah.

00:56:27.000 And he just like lashed out.

00:56:28.000 He lashes out at people a lot, but maybe it's just because he's senility.

00:56:32.000 That could be part of it.

00:56:33.000 Well, he's done it for years, I remember.

00:56:34.000 He points his finger in people's face.

00:56:37.000 So aggressive.

00:56:39.000 If he was doing it in private, okay, maybe then I would question.

00:56:42.000 But he did it in public on TV, right in front of the world.

00:56:45.000 Which is what makes him seem senile.

00:56:47.000 Do you know that people are watching you act crazy right now?

00:56:51.000 Well, it's like, uh... And the way he puts his finger in people's faces, like, you're asking for it.

00:56:56.000 Yeah, it's really aggressive.

00:56:57.000 Like the kind of guy that'll grab your arm really tight till it hurts?

00:57:00.000 Yeah.

00:57:01.000 I was gonna say the way he puts his hands on women's shoulders and sniffs their heads is a bit worse than the finger.

00:57:06.000 Not women! 1.00

00:57:06.000 Children! 1.00

00:57:07.000 Well, children as well, yes. 1.00

00:57:10.000 What a creepy, awful man. 0.99

00:57:12.000 You know, look, Donald Trump, locker room talk, all those nasty things, I'm not a fan of any of it. 0.99

00:57:16.000 And there's a lot of people who really love Trump for who he is.

00:57:19.000 His Dior supporters, they're like, we're glad there's a guy in there who's gonna tell people. 0.96

00:57:22.000 And I've laughed.

00:57:24.000 I understand what funny is.

00:57:25.000 When he called Stormy horseface, when he said, only Rosie O'Donnell, you know, when he called, who'd he call? 0.99

00:57:33.000 He called someone a fat pig. 0.98

00:57:34.000 I don't know. 0.99

00:57:35.000 I think so, yeah.

00:57:36.000 Something along those lines, I think.

00:57:37.000 Entertaining, funny, celebrity drama.

00:57:40.000 Me personally, I'm like, maybe not in the White House.

00:57:43.000 Yeah, definitely not in the White House.

00:57:45.000 I know, it happens.

00:57:46.000 We need lawyers in the White House, and legal analysts, and scientists, and things like that.

00:57:50.000 Lawyers.

00:57:50.000 Like Obama, one of his.

00:57:51.000 Too many lawyers. 0.68

00:57:52.000 How many?

00:57:52.000 One of his.

00:57:53.000 Isn't every single lawyer joke about them being in hell?

00:57:55.000 I thought Obama's.

00:57:57.000 Obama was a constitutional lawyer, I believe, and that was valuable, you know? 0.98

00:58:01.000 He wasn't an idiot when it came to constitutional law.

00:58:03.000 He knew what to circumvent to get things done, that's for sure. 0.95

00:58:06.000 And I remember when he said, if you're like me, I will know all the legal loopholes for blown-up kids.

00:58:11.000 Too many of them.

00:58:12.000 But we do need people to understand the Constitution in the White House, that respect the Constitution, I think.

00:58:18.000 Constitutionalists, maybe, is a better phrase than lawyers.

00:58:21.000 I think Trump is what you get when the people are neglected for too long.

00:58:26.000 And I went to these Trump rallies and there are so many people who are like, I've never voted before, but I'm voting for this man because he's finally sticking it to the machine.

00:58:33.000 The Republicans and Democrats were snooty elites who thought they were better than everyone else and that needed to change. 0.98

00:58:39.000 So now you've got the Trump populists, the left populists hate the Democrats and hate the Republicans, but support the Democrats because they hate the Republicans more, which is dumb. 0.90

00:58:49.000 But the whole thing is just kind of gonna, it's falling apart.

00:58:53.000 I actually think Ron DeSantis could probably save the country, but I don't know if he'll actually reform it to the degree it needs to be reformed.

00:59:02.000 He would just stop it from imploding.

00:59:04.000 You know what I mean?

00:59:04.000 He does seem to have the same sort of ability to make Trump-like changes, but without his tweets.

00:59:14.000 But I don't think he'd go as far as we need him to.

00:59:18.000 I also, fair point, you know, Ian brought this up.

00:59:20.000 I don't know if Trump would drain the swamp either.

00:59:22.000 He didn't do it the first time.

00:59:24.000 He brought more swamp monsters and he got rid of some of them, but brought more in.

00:59:27.000 Maybe he was getting jammed up by the Russiagate stuff and he couldn't do it.

00:59:31.000 He might win re-election and then say, okay, now I've got one more term.

00:59:35.000 I don't have to worry about the swamp, so I'm going to ignore it.

00:59:38.000 You know, yeah.

00:59:39.000 And if he doesn't go in there and fire everybody, then what's the point?

00:59:41.000 Then Ron DeSantis, I think, would do better.

00:59:44.000 I mean, I think you were right about his foreign policy stuff, because he was trying to stop the war, a lot of the war in the Middle East, you know, maybe heavy handedly, like moving the Israeli, what was it?

00:59:54.000 What did he move to Jerusalem?

00:59:55.000 He moved the embassy, which is basically saying, hey, Palestinians, F you.

01:00:01.000 You know, it's basically like picking a side in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by putting it in Jerusalem and saying like, this is an Israeli embassy in Jerusalem, which is supposed to be split between the Israelis and the Palestinians.

01:00:15.000 So that was like some kind of brute force ignorance, I think, politically.

01:00:21.000 Oh, the conservatives loved it.

01:00:22.000 Of course.

01:00:23.000 Half of the people loved it.

01:00:24.000 The other half of people are like, what the heck?

01:00:26.000 One of the things Joe Rogan brought up in this interview with Lex Friedman, that's where the quotes come from, is that there were people who abandoned all principle and logic to attack Trump and his supporters because he was a threat to democracy or something.

01:00:36.000 It was legitimately insane the way they lied about Trump all day, every day.

01:00:41.000 And there was a meme among centrists, stop making me defend Trump.

01:00:46.000 It was people who are like, I don't like him either, but yo, that's not true.

01:00:51.000 There's a really funny skit someone did and they were like, why are you saying that?

01:00:54.000 Are you a Trump supporter?

01:00:55.000 No, it just, that didn't happen.

01:00:56.000 They were like, you support Trump.

01:00:59.000 It's like, okay, dude, I don't know how we're supposed to survive as a country.

01:01:02.000 If you can't even just be like, this is what's true.

01:01:04.000 This is what's not true.

01:01:05.000 Nobody wanted journalism.

01:01:06.000 They wanted confirmation bias.

01:01:07.000 And that was the cult.

01:01:09.000 Well, I think one place where I've started to see a change is in my corner of YouTube, which is live streaming trials.

01:01:17.000 Starting with the Rittenhouse trial, that was the first eye-opener for a lot of people to say, oh, the media is lying to me about everything that happened in Kenosha that night.

01:01:26.000 And then more recently, but those were people that were of a particular political demographic, more people on the right.

01:01:33.000 Now we have the Johnny Depp versus Amber Heard trial, where people are saying the same thing, but they span the entire political spectrum.

01:01:39.000 I mean, I have people that are literal socialists that are saying, the media is lying to us about this.

01:01:44.000 What else are they lying to us about?

01:01:45.000 Good.

01:01:46.000 So if you're looking for a potential ground for change on social media or on the Internet in generally, that could be one of those places.

01:01:56.000 Yeah, the mega corporate Internet media or the mega corporate media apparatus is It's just the fact that the reporting on these trials is just so different, and when people have the ability to actually watch them for themselves and to evaluate the evidence, evaluate the arguments that are put in front of them, and to understand the law that's actually at play, they're able to come to their own conclusions.

01:02:18.000 And this is, I think, one of the reasons why channels like mine, like Rikada Law, like Viva Frye, Emily D. Baker, a bunch of other people in LawTube, like we like to call it.

01:02:29.000 The reason why these channels are growing is because we're giving people the ability to make their own conclusions using the evidence and just sort of acting as almost like law sherpas to guide them through the process.

01:02:41.000 Yeah, I think schooling is kind of obtuse in a lot of ways.

01:02:45.000 They make people go to medical school for 12 years or something to learn how to do something that you could really learn how to do, regardless of the amount of time it's going to take you.

01:02:52.000 You could learn how to do it.

01:02:53.000 Same with law.

01:02:53.000 If you can learn the info, why do you have to spend $600,000 in 11 years or whatever, 8 years?

01:02:58.000 So you guys are kind of teaching the information without the badge.

01:03:05.000 And the process too.

01:03:07.000 Like that actually is the part that I think is more confounding to most people.

01:03:11.000 It's not so much the actual information, but the legal process.

01:03:14.000 Like what is trial actually like?

01:03:16.000 What is litigation actually like?

01:03:17.000 Because, you know, well everybody comes in contact with the law regardless of whether they're in litigation

01:03:22.000 at some point in their lives or not, but most people will come in contact

01:03:26.000 with a legal process at some point as well.

01:03:28.000 Whether that's criminal law or litigation, like civil litigation or probate.

01:03:33.000 You know, somebody's parent dies and they have to administer a trust or a will or something like that.

01:03:38.000 And automatically, I mean, part of it is the expense, but automatically there's a lot of fear for most people.

01:03:45.000 So, you know, if you can help people understand the process, that they are about to enter into, it eliminates a lot of fear.

01:03:54.000 Like, I had somebody on Twitter that tweeted at me and several others saying, I am a DV survivor.

01:04:01.000 I'm supposed to testify against my abuser, you know, next week or next month or something like that.

01:04:07.000 And now after having watched the Dept v. Heard trial with all of you guys, I have way less fear about what to expect because I understand the process now.

01:04:15.000 Did you see the journalists during the Depp and Hurd thing where they were like, I can't remember who it was, but they said, the court actually claimed that there was malice?

01:04:24.000 Look at what Johnny Depp did to her!

01:04:26.000 And it's like, they have no idea what they're talking about.

01:04:29.000 They don't look at the legal filings or the language and say, what does that mean?

01:04:34.000 They say, I know what it means, I don't need assistance.

01:04:36.000 And malice, legally, does not mean the same thing as malice colloquially.

01:04:40.000 Right.

01:04:40.000 And actual malice, specifically.

01:04:42.000 Actual malice.

01:04:43.000 Yeah.

01:04:43.000 So these journalists are writing nonsense.

01:04:46.000 And they're like, the court actually claimed there was malice, despite Johnny Depp having been accused of doing X, Y, and Z. And it's like, that has nothing to do with what the court's saying.

01:04:53.000 The court's saying she knew what she was saying.

01:04:55.000 Either she knew what she was saying was wrong, or it was reckless disregard for the truth.

01:04:57.000 That's it, right?

01:04:58.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:04:59.000 When Roe v. Wade dropped, you know what I did?

01:05:00.000 I was like, whoa, I better call a lawyer.

01:05:02.000 It's crazy.

01:05:03.000 I think that the big difference between the corporate press today and whatever this show is and whatever your show is, is that we're very much like, hey, we're probably wrong.

01:05:10.000 Let's ask experts and see what they have to say about this.

01:05:13.000 Journalism. 1.00

01:05:14.000 Now mainstream corporations are like, we know, because we're smart and you're dumb. 0.99

01:05:17.000 It's a very scientific method form of journalism. 0.75

01:05:19.000 Assume that you're wrong until you can replicate it and figure out what exactly it is.

01:05:25.000 It should be done, I think.

01:05:26.000 Should be, but isn't.

01:05:28.000 So now we... I mean, I guess, going back six, seven years, trust in the press has been at all-time lows.

01:05:37.000 So, good, fine.

01:05:39.000 But they're still getting tons of money, they're still controlling the news cycle, they're still manipulating the narrative, and we gotta change that, take it over.

01:05:47.000 I've been thinking about this, and the interesting thing is, Millennials are going to take over soon. 0.97

01:05:52.000 You've got boomers are starting to retire out. 0.99

01:05:55.000 Gen Xers are taking the reins. 1.00

01:05:58.000 However, for some reason, Gen X is just ignored.

01:06:00.000 Have you noticed this?

01:06:02.000 There's never a part of the conversation.

01:06:04.000 Millennials are going to start inheriting these machines. 0.97

01:06:08.000 And you look at people like Taylor Lorenz.

01:06:10.000 Yeah, she's a millennial. 0.99

01:06:10.000 Is she? 0.99

01:06:14.000 I'm sorry, I don't mean that as a joke.

01:06:16.000 I mean that actually because I know that there's a lot about her age, and I'm just genuinely confused.

01:06:21.000 She's a millennial. 0.99

01:06:22.000 Okay.

01:06:22.000 Well, to the best of our understanding.

01:06:23.000 I think she lied about her age once as a joke, and now it's got everyone twisted and confused.

01:06:28.000 Okay. 0.99

01:06:28.000 Bill Maher, in referencing the Washington Post fighting with Felicia Sonmez, said, this is why, millennials, we don't want you to take over, because you're a bunch of whiny, entitled brats. 0.99

01:06:37.000 And the Felicia Sonmez thing was hilarious. 1.00

01:06:39.000 Did you see that one?

01:06:40.000 You guys know this?

01:06:41.000 Yeah, it was happening around the same time.

01:06:42.000 Dave Weigel, their star reporter, or a star reporter, retweeted a joke where it said, the joke was, every woman is bi, you just have to figure out if it's polar or sexual.

01:06:52.000 And so, he retweeted that, she complained, he got suspended without pay, she would not stop attacking the company, she gets fired.

01:07:01.000 Bill Maher was like, this is the problem with Millennials.

01:07:03.000 Well, it's the problem with the Millennials at the institutions. 0.99

01:07:05.000 I'll tell you this.

01:07:06.000 The Millennials, who aren't there, have started companies. 0.99

01:07:09.000 They're becoming successful.

01:07:10.000 They're working in separate industries.

01:07:12.000 And the problem is that Bill Maher missed this.

01:07:16.000 He's like, Millennials, oh, look at them at the Washington Post.

01:07:18.000 Yeah, we don't associate with them either, and we're Millennials.

01:07:21.000 We're starting our own businesses, we're starting our own channels, we're starting our own websites, we're building up our own subscription bases.

01:07:27.000 The people who can't do that are begging the Washington Post for a job, and then crying all day until they're fired.

01:07:34.000 See the difference?

01:07:35.000 So the Washington Post will probably crumble under the girth of its entitlement from millennials, and then the Daily Wire, Timcast, Legal Bytes, Viva Frye, all of these channels are going to start growing, hiring people, expanding, or remaining as independent personalities who can fund themselves.

01:07:50.000 As you were saying that I was thinking of, I think it's less about what generation you were born in and more about your state of mind.

01:07:56.000 There are a lot of independent creators that span age 80 to age 11 or age 17, but that people that are born more recently have been born more in a nanny state.

01:08:08.000 Um, basically it's like a technocracy that they're trying to build where it's like a spy state.

01:08:12.000 And so they have this appeal to authority where they, maybe they're, you may be more likely to appeal to authority or may find yourself around people that are more likely to.

01:08:19.000 Not that it, not that you're bound by your generation to behave a certain way, but it's just the nature of the gradient has been shifting.

01:08:28.000 I think right now, if you want to be rich, it's simple.

01:08:30.000 Make not woke content.

01:08:32.000 That's it.

01:08:33.000 Yeah.

01:08:33.000 And a platform you can do it on, I suppose.

01:08:36.000 So if you start a Rumble channel, do comedy.

01:08:40.000 That's it.

01:08:41.000 So much comedy is just really, really awful.

01:08:43.000 I think Rogan was also talking about this, that woke comics are just really bad.

01:08:48.000 Maybe it wasn't Rogan.

01:08:50.000 Probably Rogan.

01:08:50.000 I feel like I've heard him say something along those lines before.

01:08:52.000 I don't know if anti-woke comics are that much better.

01:08:56.000 Uh, but look, if your comic is obsessed with wokeness, that's their whole bit.

01:08:59.000 Maybe.

01:09:00.000 Yeah, but, I mean, being anti-woke is, like, such an obsession, too, now.

01:09:04.000 But I'm not saying, um... Like, woke comics aren't always joking about race.

01:09:11.000 And white supremacy, they're avoiding these subjects.

01:09:14.000 So there was one video I watched where it was a woke comic and he was mocking himself.

01:09:19.000 And I'm like, it's just not funny.

01:09:20.000 I mean, I guess Rodney Dangerfield, self-deprecating humor and all that stuff can work.

01:09:25.000 But then you watch people anti-woke.

01:09:27.000 I don't mean they're comics who are literally attacking woke people.

01:09:29.000 I mean, Ryan Long, for instance, he's anti-woke.

01:09:32.000 Not that he comes out every bit and just makes fun of wokeness,

01:09:36.000 but that he's willing to tell offensive jokes that don't fall in line with wokeness.

01:09:41.000 You know what I mean?

01:09:42.000 Would you say Dave Chappelle and like Ricky Gervais are those types of comics?

01:09:47.000 Kind of.

01:09:48.000 For the most part.

01:09:49.000 The willingness to be offensive and, you know, Dave Chappelle did a bit in his comedy special back in 2018 where he did like a Chinese stereotype and it was just really old school racist Chinese stereotype and everyone laughed at it.

01:10:01.000 Like, that's anti-woke, right?

01:10:03.000 Like, he was purposefully poking people and being offensive, but in his most recent special he was real defensive.

01:10:09.000 They got him run for his money.

01:10:11.000 So, Ryan Long's got a bit right now where he's a singer saying that it's women's right to get an abortion, specifically one woman, and then he names a woman who he's like, I accidentally knocked up and you better get an abortion! 0.88

01:10:22.000 So, it's funny!

01:10:24.000 That's comedy, that's the joke.

01:10:26.000 But it's as offensive as you can get when he does his routines.

01:10:29.000 That's anti-wokeness. 0.72

01:10:31.000 Disregard for wokeness ignoring it.

01:10:33.000 It's funny.

01:10:34.000 I think that stuff's gonna keep growing and working I mean, yeah, we we're talking so we do the cast castle vlog if you haven't subscribed go to youtube.com slash cast castle and we're doing skits and bits and it's relatively family-friendly stuff and silly slapstick humor and you know Like Mary's like lurking in the closet in the attic for some reason like some weirdo screaming flash in the light Yeah stuff like that, but we've been we've been talking about even with Seamus from freedom tunes Seamus mentioned this we had a bit A couple of them that YouTube would never allow that are actually family friendly, but they offend the political sensibilities of YouTube.

01:11:09.000 We had vaccine jokes, like just mocking the political air around it and stuff like that.

01:11:14.000 And we were like, yeah, if we made that skit, it would not be offensive to any parent.

01:11:19.000 Children could watch it and ask their parents what it meant.

01:11:22.000 It wasn't lewd or anything like that.

01:11:23.000 It was just about politics, but YouTube would delete it.

01:11:27.000 For wrong think.

01:11:29.000 That's the crazy thing.

01:11:30.000 So that means there's a huge market for humor on Rumble.

01:11:35.000 So if like you, if you do comedy, just start making Rumble videos and they'll go viral because people are looking for things to laugh at.

01:11:41.000 The Daily Wire is growing so rapidly because the hole in the market is so big that like, I think the Daily Wire has got like four or five movies and they're close to a million subscribers.

01:11:52.000 Four or five.

01:11:53.000 Hey, the opportunity is right, man.

01:11:55.000 People don't want this stuff.

01:11:56.000 Just got to do it.

01:11:57.000 Well, that's why I was saying earlier is that, you know, sometimes people will have an oversaturation and there will be a reaction to that.

01:12:04.000 So with that comes an opening in the market for people to try to, you know, get something, you know, some kind of a product or a service that otherwise fills the void that exists because everybody else is oversaturating that market being wokeism.

01:12:21.000 Yeah, I'm just wary of anyone who's trying to sell something anti-woke, anti-cancel culture, but doing so while sanitizing the entire topic.

01:12:32.000 Like, I think Piers Morgan Uncensored does exactly that.

01:12:36.000 Oh, he's awful.

01:12:36.000 He's like, I'm canceling cancel culture.

01:12:40.000 Like, It's so candid fake.

01:12:41.000 You're not threatening anything, you're not pushing any boundary, and no one is afraid of appearing on Pierce Morgan uncensored.

01:12:49.000 Yeah.

01:12:49.000 You know?

01:12:50.000 It's gimmicky, it's cheap, it doesn't mean anything to anyone.

01:12:55.000 I mean, even the aftershow that we do is, like, moderately okay.

01:13:00.000 We'll swear a lot, and we'll say things that offend delicate woke sensibilities, but even we are not extreme edgelords just trying to poke the bear as hard as possible.

01:13:09.000 We're just trying to speak freely, you know?

01:13:11.000 Piers Morgan is... It's uncensored, but it's, like, as normie as you're gonna get.

01:13:17.000 He's like, let's talk about this controversial subject.

01:13:19.000 It's like, everyone's talking about that.

01:13:20.000 Jordan Peterson was talking about that five years ago.

01:13:22.000 Come on, man.

01:13:23.000 But, but outside of, you know, when I'm talking about comedy, I'm not, I'm not saying, if

01:13:27.000 somebody makes a show where their whole shtick is woke people bad, it's like, okay, we get

01:13:32.000 it.

01:13:33.000 Like, just make good stuff.

01:13:34.000 Terror on the Prairie, the Daily Wire's movie, it's not like a bunch of, you know, woke people

01:13:40.000 on horseback with purple hair ride up and they're like, oh no, we gotta fight back.

01:13:43.000 It's just a Western.

01:13:44.000 It's just a Western.

01:13:45.000 And there's a woman and she's like, I'm gonna fight. 1.00

01:13:47.000 They were like, we made a movie.

01:13:49.000 It's a story.

01:13:51.000 That's it.

01:13:51.000 It's not anti-woke.

01:13:52.000 It's not woke.

01:13:53.000 It's just a movie.

01:13:54.000 Yeah, like if you have a field of crops and all the crops are dying, the way to combat that isn't by like making fun of dying crops.

01:14:00.000 It's to grow crops the right way.

01:14:02.000 Exactly.

01:14:04.000 That's it.

01:14:04.000 It's a good metaphor.

01:14:05.000 Well, that's why, you know, we started Pop Culture Crisis.

01:14:08.000 It's because we... I was like, look, the two things we don't want to do is make woke content.

01:14:13.000 That's a given.

01:14:14.000 We don't like it.

01:14:15.000 But also anti-woke content, where all we do is just be like, oh, look at this, look at that.

01:14:20.000 It comes up.

01:14:21.000 You know, and like, you know, Seth Rogen said a thing on Twitter. 0.99

01:14:23.000 We'll be like, oh, that was dumb. 0.62

01:14:25.000 But it's not like we dedicate everything to just going after wokeness. 0.75

01:14:29.000 That's what it was very much like in the early YouTube era.

01:14:33.000 And I feel that's why a lot of those early YouTubers bowed out, quit, or failed.

01:14:37.000 It's like, dude, you can't have your whole identity be based on someone else's identity.

01:14:40.000 That's true.

01:14:41.000 You need your own.

01:14:42.000 You need to stand up for what you believe in and talk about that stuff.

01:14:45.000 That's why I also really don't like talking about people like Taylor Lorenz and stuff.

01:14:49.000 Granted, she specifically represents a very powerful brand.

01:14:52.000 She was in a high position until she got demoted. 0.94

01:14:56.000 And so that's more representation of institutional power, but I try to keep it to the news and the info and so that we can have a real conversation around this stuff, you know?

01:15:04.000 Yeah.

01:15:05.000 It's exhausting to try and make a career off of talking about what's wrong with other things, because then you're always looking for new problems and to the point where you may be happy to see them get created.

01:15:16.000 It's insane.

01:15:17.000 Insane way to live.

01:15:18.000 It's not healthy.

01:15:18.000 I don't think.

01:15:19.000 That's a very good point. 0.98

01:15:21.000 I think people, regular people, that are just totally ignorant, don't know. 0.96

01:15:26.000 They don't know anything about what's going on. 0.98

01:15:29.000 They don't know what Rumble is.

01:15:31.000 And that's one of the big challenges.

01:15:32.000 So, so long as we keep working, we keep growing, we keep marketing.

01:15:37.000 I'll say, uh, Parlor had a Times Square billboard.

01:15:40.000 Good.

01:15:41.000 The more people who see that and ask, what is that?

01:15:43.000 The better.

01:15:44.000 We obviously had our Times Square billboards.

01:15:46.000 We had Ian up on a big 40-some-odd-foot screen.

01:15:50.000 The 70-foot screen, the biggest one, rejected our ad because they said the word politics was in it, and that's all that matters.

01:15:55.000 They don't care about us or anything like that, but they were like, the word politics, we can't do anything with that.

01:16:00.000 The Daily Wires had a couple different billboards up in Times Square.

01:16:03.000 Taking these cultural spaces is extremely important.

01:16:07.000 I've been getting tons of ads on Reddit and Facebook for The Daily Wire, and I'm glad every time I see it, because these spaces have been ignored by, whatever you want to call it, the anti-woke factions or whatever.

01:16:20.000 The ads aren't explicitly like, wokeness is bad, it's just like, hey, watch our show.

01:16:25.000 Good.

01:16:26.000 We had, I think we were talking with Billy Prempeh, he was running for, as a Republican, in a very blue area, and Kimberly Klasick, she was running in a very blue area, and I was like, good.

01:16:36.000 These Republicans have abandoned urban centers because they're like, what's the point?

01:16:40.000 We're not going to win.

01:16:41.000 And my response is, a society that grows great when a person plants trees whose shade they know they will never sit beneath.

01:16:53.000 So if you start campaigning as a Republican in New York City, you're not going to win, but you're planting trees, man.

01:17:00.000 Of course you're not going to get an orange in your first season.

01:17:02.000 That's going to take 10, 20 years before that, that, you know, fruit, that, that plant bears fruit.

01:17:07.000 There's balance.

01:17:08.000 You don't want to plant trees where, you know, they're going to get mowed down and destroyed in the next five years.

01:17:12.000 Because like, it'd be like going to a war zone to talk, to be open and honest, you're going to get killed in the war zone.

01:17:17.000 So like you do want to plant your, your psychological trees in places that maybe, Fair point.

01:17:26.000 That's true too.

01:17:30.000 But I feel like that's one of the biggest problems we have in this country, is that Democrats and Republicans both at some point said, if I can't win easily, I won't waste my time.

01:17:39.000 And now you're getting hyperpolarization.

01:17:42.000 So we need to make things for Yeah, it's not about winning.

01:17:48.000 It's about doing.

01:17:50.000 You don't need to win every competition.

01:17:51.000 You just need to participate.

01:17:53.000 I mean, it's the joy of participation, I think, that may be lost in society.

01:17:57.000 I had to learn how to lose and to love it, or no one would play games with me.

01:18:00.000 Because I would beat them at video games over and over and over and over, and then they'd quit.

01:18:04.000 So I had to actually let them win without them knowing, so that they would keep playing.

01:18:10.000 And I had to find joy in just the process.

01:18:12.000 I've heard some studies about like, the animals will actually do that too because there's an importance of play that comes with the learning process.

01:18:20.000 So even, it's not just humans, but other animals will do that.

01:18:24.000 There's like a certain percentage of time that like an older animal or a bigger animal will, during playtime, will allow the smaller or younger animal actually win because otherwise they don't want to discourage them from playing with them in the future.

01:18:37.000 So we need more Democrats and Republicans letting Republicans and Democrats win.

01:18:43.000 Or allowing for the possibility that they'll lose at some point.

01:18:48.000 Understanding that there will be something in the process in the long run that will benefit everybody.

01:18:53.000 I think the issue is the American cultures are just too divergent.

01:18:56.000 We don't even speak the same language anymore.

01:18:59.000 Yeah, same words with altered definitions sometimes.

01:19:03.000 The culture has diverged so far in this country, we don't speak the same language.

01:19:08.000 I don't know.

01:19:08.000 I think it depends on the subject matter.

01:19:10.000 Because, you know, again, like I said, the fact that I'm seeing on my channel, my viewers have very much diversified in their politics.

01:19:22.000 And a lot of that comes from the fact that the reason why they've come to my channel in the first place is Not politics.

01:19:30.000 It's something else that is politics adjacent.

01:19:33.000 I mean, law definitely has a lot of overlaps with politics as well.

01:19:37.000 But it's something that everyone really cares about, this whole mass of people cares about.

01:19:42.000 But it's not politics exactly.

01:19:44.000 But it's the kind of thing that introduces them to other conversations that we have about law that also overlaps with a lot of these topics too.

01:19:52.000 Maybe the challenge is we need some kind of service guaranteeing citizenship, right?

01:19:57.000 You guys are familiar with that?

01:19:58.000 That's from Starship Troopers.

01:19:59.000 Yeah.

01:19:59.000 Service guarantee citizenship.

01:20:01.000 Um, and I said that in some form.

01:20:02.000 The issue is when you have low, um, what's the right word to say this?

01:20:08.000 Uninterested individuals.

01:20:10.000 They're not interested in politics.

01:20:11.000 They're interested in tribal fighting.

01:20:13.000 They'd be better off watching, you know, the Sox versus the Cubs or something like that, where they can have their tribal values and have it be in an arena that doesn't impact the rest of the world.

01:20:23.000 If people are going out and voting like, uh, like, um, AOC, right?

01:20:27.000 Ocasio-Cortez.

01:20:28.000 When she went on Colbert and just made up all that nonsense about Dred Scott and Abraham Lincoln, it was so laughably bad.

01:20:35.000 I'm like, and her vote negates mine worse still.

01:20:37.000 She's in Congress.

01:20:39.000 So we need some kind of, look, if you're not interested in politics, we really need to know because you will make everything worse for everyone else.

01:20:47.000 This is the challenge.

01:20:48.000 Making sure everybody has a right to participate, but also making sure they actually want to.

01:20:53.000 Right? 0.99

01:20:55.000 Look, when someone posts on Facebook saying, we should ban assault rifles, and then I respond with, assault rifles are regulated under the Hughes Amendment, and they're very difficult to get, here's why, and they respond with, shut up fascist, you're an idiot, I'm like, okay, you really don't want to ban assault rifles. 1.00

01:21:09.000 Because if you did, you'd be like, tell me how to do it. 0.99

01:21:13.000 So when I commented on someone's profile earlier and I said, I think you mean assault weapons.

01:21:18.000 Assault rifles are regulated since 1986.

01:21:20.000 They're actually very difficult to get.

01:21:22.000 It started with the NFA.

01:21:23.000 If you're talking about assault weapons, let's figure out what you're specifically going for.

01:21:26.000 You're talking about foregrips, pistol grips, things like that.

01:21:29.000 And then you say, I don't know what you're talking about. 1.00

01:21:31.000 You're dumb. 1.00

01:21:32.000 Who cares? 1.00

01:21:32.000 We just need to ban it. 1.00

01:21:33.000 And I'm like, okay, well, you're not going to.

01:21:35.000 And you clearly don't care because I didn't insult them or anything like that.

01:21:39.000 Their whole thing is Team Blue, Team Red.

01:21:42.000 And that's all that matters.

01:21:43.000 And then they have their talking points. 0.99

01:21:45.000 I, you know, I think like, it's glorifying to think maybe we can remove the idiots from the process and just have the smart people do it. 1.00

01:21:52.000 But like, that just is like, it leads towards genocide. 0.99

01:21:55.000 I don't understand.

01:21:56.000 How would we hold people?

01:21:58.000 Like, what would be the process?

01:22:00.000 What we say?

01:22:01.000 Yeah, I was I was I was just thinking like, like, what would be what would be the criteria for intelligence?

01:22:06.000 Are you talking IQ or EQ?

01:22:08.000 Or some combination of the two?

01:22:10.000 Well, I don't think intelligence is a determinant factor in whether or not you should be voting.

01:22:14.000 It's a question of whether you actually want to or not.

01:22:17.000 So I'm not saying only the smart people vote.

01:22:19.000 I'm saying you actually have to walk to the voting booth to vote.

01:22:23.000 Hm.

01:22:23.000 You know what I mean? Like, do you really want to vote? Or is someone sitting there over your shoulder saying, did you

01:22:29.000 vote for my guy?

01:22:30.000 So the issue is when you do like universal mail-in voting, you're gonna have someone sitting there playing video games.

01:22:35.000 And then their roommate or their mom's gonna come and be like, take your thing and fill it out, vote for Biden. They

01:22:39.000 go, I don't care. And like, do it now. And they go, fine, whatever.

01:22:42.000 So there there needs to be some degree of I am choosing to do what needs to be done to vote.

01:22:49.000 So at the very least, you get up, you walk to the street, and you fill out the form.

01:22:55.000 You get rid of that, and you're going to have a whole lot of low-tier, uninterested people being like, whatever you say, man, I don't care.

01:23:01.000 So like a 10-minute 50-question questionnaire kind of thing?

01:23:05.000 Like that personality test that Jordan Peterson does?

01:23:09.000 Understand myself?

01:23:10.000 I think y'all are assuming way more than I'm implying.

01:23:13.000 I'm implying, like, you have to go to the local voting booth to vote.

01:23:17.000 Like, just literally go and do it yourself as opposed to mailing it in.

01:23:20.000 I think maybe demonstrate that you have a stake in the future of the nation, meaning have families, have practical skills to offer it.

01:23:29.000 I mean, you can take it to the next step and make more logical arguments.

01:23:33.000 I mean, there's a lot of challenges in restricting voting rights, for sure, but the argument initially was you had to be a landowner to vote.

01:23:41.000 And the left says, wow, how offensive, because they're basing today, they're basing yesterday off of today.

01:23:47.000 The reason they did it was obvious.

01:23:49.000 They didn't have IDs.

01:23:50.000 How did they know you actually lived there?

01:23:53.000 You owned a plot of land, so you went and you voted.

01:23:55.000 Then, when we entered this hyper-dense urban, you know, society, we were like, okay, well now there's a lot of people who do live here and can prove they live here but don't own the land.

01:24:04.000 It's like, oh, okay, we gotta do away with that.

01:24:06.000 So then we're like, okay, you have to come in and vote, fill out the form, you have to choose to register, you have to show up, and you gotta do it.

01:24:12.000 And I'm like, all those things are good barriers to say you actually want to vote.

01:24:16.000 Not that you don't gotta be smart. 0.92

01:24:17.000 I mean, it is a problem when dumb people vote for dumb things, sure, but that's representative democracy, or, you know, how our public works. 0.97

01:24:25.000 At the very least, though, you should be able to get off your couch, walk a couple blocks, and vote. 0.93

01:24:32.000 I would love to see people have to live somewhere for like a year before they can vote locally.

01:24:36.000 That actually is true in a lot of jurisdictions.

01:24:38.000 Oh, that's good.

01:24:39.000 There's residency requirements.

01:24:42.000 The problem is, you can move somewhere.

01:24:45.000 Didn't Andrew Yang try and do this?

01:24:47.000 He got in trouble.

01:24:47.000 He was like, I'm gonna move to Georgia and help the Democrats win.

01:24:49.000 And it's like, that is so crooked.

01:24:51.000 Yeah, Matt Walsh did it in Virginia, I think.

01:24:53.000 He didn't vote.

01:24:54.000 He didn't vote.

01:24:54.000 He did it to speak at a council meeting.

01:24:56.000 Because they tried to keep him out.

01:24:57.000 That's different.

01:24:58.000 It worked.

01:24:59.000 I mean, it's just he exposed a flaw in the system, in my opinion.

01:25:02.000 But he wasn't doing that for politics.

01:25:05.000 He was trying to speak about family and kids at a school, and they changed the rules to bar him, so he rented a basement.

01:25:12.000 Andrew Yang said, quite literally, I'm moving there for the purpose of politics.

01:25:15.000 And then they were like, hey, that's illegal.

01:25:17.000 That's the problem we have.

01:25:18.000 I mean, eliminating mail-in voting entirely would also create a problem for the armed forces, for people that are deployed overseas.

01:25:27.000 Yeah, but you have to apply for those.

01:25:32.000 You had to.

01:25:33.000 So before we did universal mail-in voting, absentee ballots, you filled out a form.

01:25:37.000 They'd mail it to you.

01:25:38.000 You had to do the bare minimum to say, I really want to do this.

01:25:42.000 Now what do we get?

01:25:43.000 We get a Democrat activist knocks on a door and says, that right there, fill it out.

01:25:47.000 And they go, just fill it out right now.

01:25:49.000 Put in your mailbox.

01:25:50.000 Okay, fine.

01:25:50.000 Whatever.

01:25:51.000 What?

01:25:51.000 Biden?

01:25:51.000 Sure.

01:25:52.000 Fine.

01:25:52.000 And then there you go.

01:25:53.000 Fair point.

01:25:54.000 We're walking like a line between incentivizing and disincentivizing voting.

01:25:57.000 Is that what this is?

01:25:58.000 Like, you don't want to incentivize.

01:26:00.000 You don't want to give people money for voting.

01:26:02.000 You want to slightly disincentivize voting.

01:26:04.000 Make it a little bit annoying.

01:26:05.000 Like, go to the place.

01:26:07.000 Wait in line.

01:26:07.000 I mean, to be fair, it's not even annoying.

01:26:09.000 It's like, go vote?

01:26:10.000 Is it really that hard to just go and vote?

01:26:13.000 Now, it should be a holiday, in my opinion.

01:26:15.000 Yeah, that'd be huge.

01:26:17.000 And I've heard Republicans be like, well, that's bad for us.

01:26:18.000 I'm like, too effing bad.

01:26:20.000 People should not have to work on voting days, and then they should have to get up and go do it.

01:26:24.000 The alternative is universal mail-in voting is a disaster.

01:26:27.000 It's an absolute disaster.

01:26:29.000 Security risks, etc.

01:26:30.000 Yeah, I think I'd be in favor of both of those.

01:26:32.000 The combination together.

01:26:34.000 Making it a holiday and making it so that people have to do something in order to vote.

01:26:39.000 One day.

01:26:40.000 No extended, no early, none of that.

01:26:43.000 Absentee voting for people who need to do it and you fill it out and you get it.

01:26:47.000 And then voting day is a holiday.

01:26:49.000 You don't gotta work.

01:26:50.000 I mean, we have 4th of July.

01:26:51.000 You don't gotta work then, alright?

01:26:52.000 So vote.

01:26:54.000 Election day is a holiday.

01:26:55.000 And if you'd rather go to the beach and go party, please, please do it.

01:27:01.000 That was even an issue for me in 2018 voting in the midterms when I had just turned 18.

01:27:08.000 I had to skip school to do that for like half a day.

01:27:13.000 Like I didn't want to do that.

01:27:14.000 You didn't want to skip school?

01:27:15.000 No, I was a nerd.

01:27:17.000 Really?

01:27:17.000 And then in college I had to do mail-in vote too because I had classes then too.

01:27:23.000 That's horribly obnoxious.

01:27:24.000 Right?

01:27:25.000 Yeah, like who wants to go through that?

01:27:26.000 The service guarantees citizenship thing takes it one step further.

01:27:29.000 I mean, in Starship Troopers, it was like you had to sign up for some kind of community government service.

01:27:33.000 It didn't have to be military, but you had to in some way serve the community.

01:27:37.000 Otherwise, you didn't get to vote.

01:27:38.000 There's a really good logic behind that.

01:27:40.000 If you're not willing to contribute to the community, why should you get a say in what the community does?

01:27:45.000 Only when it gets dangerous when the community is like Nazi Germany and they're like, participate in our process or you have no say. 0.83

01:27:53.000 Participate in an approved way only.

01:27:56.000 Well, isn't that the premise of Starship Troopers 2?

01:27:58.000 Isn't it supposed to be like a, what's the word for it?

01:28:03.000 Classically liberal?

01:28:04.000 No, no.

01:28:05.000 I mean, it's supposed to be mocking fascism, isn't it?

01:28:07.000 No, no, no.

01:28:08.000 It was supposed to be like a utopian liberal society.

01:28:11.000 But it was a militant autocrat.

01:28:13.000 I mean, I don't know who was at the top.

01:28:15.000 I don't think that's correct.

01:28:16.000 Any utopias?

01:28:17.000 The movie apparently... I thought the premise of it was that it was supposed to be mocking the... The movie.

01:28:24.000 So Carl Benjamin... I might be wrong.

01:28:26.000 Carl Benjamin did a breakdown of this, because he's a huge Starship Troopers fan, that the original, in the book, it was basically classically liberal.

01:28:33.000 That you have to provide for your community, otherwise you have no say in it, but Civilians don't get to vote, but they're entitled to all equal rights.

01:28:43.000 You do two years of service in any way.

01:28:45.000 It's not military.

01:28:46.000 Then you get access to voting.

01:28:48.000 And then in the actual book, I think it's like the bugs attack Earth and bomb them in Buenos Aires.

01:28:55.000 Even in the movie, that's the case.

01:28:56.000 But for some reason, the movie tries to make Earth out to be the bad guys, even though we were being attacked by a foreign invader.

01:29:01.000 False flag.

01:29:02.000 It was an inside job.

01:29:06.000 Well, the bugs in the movie actually watch him launch the giant rock.

01:29:10.000 Deepfakes.

01:29:10.000 They try to make it seem like Earth was fascist or something.

01:29:13.000 But I have not read the book.

01:29:14.000 I've seen the movie several times.

01:29:16.000 You'll have to watch Carl Benjamin's breakdown of it.

01:29:19.000 Yeah, he talks about it.

01:29:21.000 I remember seeing it as a kid and being absolutely traumatized by it.

01:29:24.000 What part?

01:29:26.000 What's the big brain thing that would suck people's brains out? 1.00

01:29:30.000 Which one?

01:29:31.000 The brain bug?

01:29:31.000 Yeah.

01:29:34.000 I like the idea that the humans are the bad guys.

01:29:36.000 I thought that was a good twist on the movie.

01:29:38.000 I was like, oh, I thought we were fighting evil the whole time.

01:29:40.000 But they attacked us.

01:29:42.000 Yeah, they were just doing what they do.

01:29:43.000 Is it the scorpion or the frog?

01:29:46.000 Who's the villain in that situation?

01:29:47.000 The scorpion.

01:29:48.000 Apparently, but he's just doing what scorpions do.

01:29:50.000 Yeah, just a bad guy.

01:29:53.000 I don't know.

01:29:53.000 That's bad, you know?

01:29:54.000 It's subjective.

01:29:56.000 There are bad people who do bad things.

01:29:58.000 They're bad when they do bad things.

01:29:59.000 That's it.

01:30:01.000 The humans were playing rock music too loud and it was interfering with the bugs.

01:30:04.000 Is that what it was?

01:30:04.000 You know, high-frequency communication.

01:30:06.000 Yeah.

01:30:07.000 And that's why they threw a rock at us?

01:30:08.000 Who was the villain?

01:30:09.000 Yeah.

01:30:09.000 Oh, yeah.

01:30:10.000 Shut that noise off! 1.00

01:30:12.000 Yeah.

01:30:12.000 All right, I guess.

01:30:14.000 I don't know, man.

01:30:16.000 You know what?

01:30:18.000 Every so often you'll get this period in pop culture where it's like normal things are happening and you're like, maybe, maybe we're gonna get out of this one and then something crazy happens.

01:30:25.000 When does that happen?

01:30:26.000 It happens periodically.

01:30:27.000 For real, I mean.

01:30:28.000 It's not right now, at least.

01:30:29.000 Well, no, obviously not.

01:30:30.000 Not that I can tell.

01:30:31.000 Yeah.

01:30:31.000 I think so.

01:30:32.000 When you look at how BlackRock's been exposed on the internet, people are talking about the liberal economic order now, like it's been around for 80 years and they're finally talking about it.

01:30:40.000 That's the opposite of what we're saying.

01:30:41.000 It's good.

01:30:41.000 The exposure is what we need.

01:30:43.000 That's not what we're talking about.

01:30:44.000 Democracy dies in silence.

01:30:45.000 We need conversation.

01:30:46.000 Every swap that feels like things are normal again.

01:30:48.000 Well, that's an illusion.

01:30:50.000 When was the last time that happened?

01:30:51.000 Like, a Marvel movie came out and people started talking about that or something.

01:30:55.000 I mean... Well, that's happening all the time.

01:30:56.000 But the Amber Heard Johnny Depp trial, for a little bit, because it was apolitical.

01:31:01.000 It was like, people were like, celebrities!

01:31:03.000 Celebrities!

01:31:03.000 I'm like, wow, celebrities.

01:31:04.000 It's almost like things are normal again.

01:31:06.000 And then all of a sudden, Washington Post was like, far right!

01:31:10.000 Radicals! 1.00

01:31:11.000 Yeah, even that got twisted around.

01:31:14.000 I'm feeling what you're saying here.

01:31:15.000 It feels like some days it feels like completely normal.

01:31:19.000 Like this is life as I know it.

01:31:21.000 And then some days I'm like, what in the hell are we going to do?

01:31:24.000 I don't feel safe.

01:31:26.000 I feel like confused, nervous wreck.

01:31:29.000 And then some days it's like, yo, I mean, it's just like the love is coming out of my system.

01:31:34.000 The 3rd of July felt pretty normal.

01:31:36.000 Yeah, the weekend, for instance.

01:31:38.000 Not the 4th of July.

01:31:39.000 Because of Highland Park and Philadelphia.

01:31:42.000 But on the 3rd, it's like, relatively calm.

01:31:45.000 I mean, people are saying stuff, but most people... This is the thing, too.

01:31:48.000 On holidays, you'll really feel it.

01:31:50.000 When people get off the internet.

01:31:52.000 Couple years ago, I remember uploading a video, and the viewership was just, like, 40% of what it normally was.

01:32:01.000 And I was like, whoa, this must be a bad topic.

01:32:03.000 I'm like, nobody's watching my video.

01:32:06.000 I wonder if I did something wrong or whatever.

01:32:07.000 But I know the trick, like, sometimes things happen, right?

01:32:11.000 We went out to eat.

01:32:12.000 Every restaurant was packed with a 20-minute wait.

01:32:15.000 Parents with their kids, and I went, uh, something's happening.

01:32:19.000 The reason why views were down, I can't remember exactly what it was, but some, like, college got out and everybody...

01:32:26.000 I think what it was, this is really fascinating.

01:32:28.000 It had rained all week, and then it was like Friday till Thursday of rain, and then Thursday was sunny and like 69 degrees.

01:32:37.000 Everyone immediately was like, I need to go outside!

01:32:39.000 And so nobody's watching.

01:32:41.000 This is the fascinating thing many people on YouTube don't get.

01:32:44.000 They look at their YouTube views and panic when the views are bad, because they're like, oh no, my channel's dying!

01:32:48.000 And then you're like, did it rain?

01:32:49.000 When it rains, your views go up.

01:32:51.000 When it snows, your views go up.

01:32:53.000 When it's sunny, your views go down.

01:32:55.000 People don't know that.

01:32:56.000 You ever try and get like a goal, a view goal on this video?

01:32:59.000 Like, I'm gonna get less than 30,000 views on this next video.

01:33:03.000 Rather than try and get more, which is what everyone's been trying to do, try and get, try and do your best and see if you can get less.

01:33:11.000 Because that's more normal.

01:33:13.000 I just don't think about it.

01:33:14.000 Like, when we first started doing this show, we were only getting like a few thousand concurrent viewers.

01:33:18.000 We didn't care.

01:33:18.000 We were doing it because, like, I don't know, what else is there to do?

01:33:21.000 Bored.

01:33:22.000 You know, just talk about something.

01:33:24.000 So we started talking about stuff, and then we started bringing people out, and now here we are.

01:33:28.000 Just do things that are fun, and keep doing them, and get good at it, and then figure it out as you go.

01:33:33.000 Some people can't seem to figure it out.

01:33:35.000 That's unfortunate.

01:33:36.000 It's a reality.

01:33:36.000 Some people can figure it out.

01:33:37.000 Some people can't.

01:33:39.000 Figure what out exactly?

01:33:40.000 Like how to make a machine grow bigger and how to turn something into more.

01:33:44.000 Yeah, right.

01:33:44.000 Sustainability.

01:33:45.000 People have a state of mind that they need to make things huge.

01:33:48.000 I succeed if it gets big.

01:33:49.000 If I get the most.

01:33:51.000 But size is not what makes things great.

01:33:53.000 It's the ability for the thing to sustain and adapt.

01:33:56.000 So true.

01:33:57.000 You just gotta have fun, you gotta be passionate, you gotta talk about what you care about, and just get started.

01:34:00.000 When I first started my channel, it was a GoPro 4 sitting on top of my monitor, and I would talk for 10 minutes and then be like, that was it.

01:34:06.000 Oh.

01:34:06.000 And then I'd put it up and that's all I would do.

01:34:08.000 And then eventually I was like, I got a bunch of other stories I didn't talk about, I'll just make a couple more videos.

01:34:12.000 And then just started making more and more and more and more.

01:34:14.000 Do you ever make videos directly to someone?

01:34:16.000 Nope.

01:34:17.000 That's interesting.

01:34:18.000 That used to be a feature on YouTube that you could do video replies.

01:34:22.000 It was the best.

01:34:22.000 They took that off, I don't know why.

01:34:24.000 Because they thought it was getting underutilized.

01:34:26.000 That was how I made my career on YouTube in the early days.

01:34:28.000 Yeah, just like the dislike button was getting underutilized.

01:34:30.000 Didn't Phil DeFranco do that?

01:34:31.000 Yeah, we all did.

01:34:32.000 Yeah, Phil responded, I think he responded to one of my videos way back in the day, but that was how he, his first video was a video response to somebody.

01:34:38.000 Huh.

01:34:39.000 Do they still exist on YouTube?

01:34:42.000 I just watched his first video response, yeah.

01:34:44.000 And it was why Google bought YouTube.

01:34:46.000 It's because YouTube was popular because of the video response.

01:34:48.000 The community, basically they called it the community.

01:34:50.000 I mean, it was people talking to each other and it was the most epic, epic violation of the third law of thermodynamics.

01:34:56.000 I don't know what it was, but it was like, how are we able to communicate from all around the world now in real time?

01:35:01.000 And it's always there for everyone to watch.

01:35:03.000 And then Google was like, it's too good.

01:35:04.000 We got to buy it.

01:35:05.000 We're gonna go to Super Chats!

01:35:07.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, and share the show with your friends.

01:35:12.000 Tell them about it.

01:35:13.000 We're gonna have a members-only After Dark segment coming up around 11 p.m.

01:35:17.000 tonight, so we swear more.

01:35:19.000 We've got some touchy subjects to talk about.

01:35:22.000 It's good fun, so go to TimCast.com, become a member.

01:35:25.000 Let's read!

01:35:26.000 We got Juggernaut.

01:35:27.000 I'm not reading your first name because I don't want to have people emailing me about their kids asking questions.

01:35:32.000 Says, I'm listening to Rogan with Duncan Trussell before the beginning of this.

01:35:36.000 As an atheist, they believe only conservatives wanted Roe v. Wade to be overturned, aside from the fact it's amoral to terminate life, period.

01:35:45.000 So there was a viral clip going around with Joe and Duncan, and they're smoking.

01:35:50.000 And I don't know a whole lot about Duncan Trussell, but in this clip, I was like, this is why Joe Rogan's the man.

01:35:56.000 Because Joe says Ben Shapiro is a nice guy.

01:35:58.000 He's a good guy.

01:35:59.000 You got to talk to him.

01:35:59.000 And Duncan says, I don't care.

01:36:01.000 And I was just like, Whoa, that's scary.

01:36:06.000 That you could be wrong.

01:36:08.000 That you could be condemning an innocent person and you don't care is scary.

01:36:13.000 That was weird too.

01:36:14.000 Cause it was out of character for Duncan.

01:36:16.000 I'm used to Duncan being very loving and open.

01:36:18.000 And he was like something about that guy, man.

01:36:20.000 I just, I don't like, I don't like him, man.

01:36:22.000 Something wrong.

01:36:22.000 He was saying that, like, people are going to exploit Joe, and try and pull him right and stuff like that, and it's like, people are in a cult, man.

01:36:31.000 And Joe Rogan asks questions, and that's who he's always been, and he's still very lefty, and then to hear Duncan be like, I don't care about the truth about a person, they're bad people, period, that's a scary, overzealous, cult-like mentality.

01:36:46.000 He did in that, in that interview, if you watch the entire show, which I did is Duncan eventually was like, all right, all right, all right.

01:36:51.000 I take it back.

01:36:52.000 Hmm.

01:36:52.000 Well, that's good.

01:36:53.000 That's good.

01:36:54.000 Yeah, and that's something that you wouldn't see if they were together in the same room in one space, right?

01:37:01.000 Like, if he and Ben Shapiro were in the same room, I mean, would he actually say that to him?

01:37:06.000 Would he actually have that impression?

01:37:07.000 Or maybe he would walk in with that impression, and then at the end of an hour, two hours, three hours, you know, of sitting and talking and hanging out, then maybe he would have a different perception by the end of it.

01:37:17.000 People believe crazy stuff.

01:37:19.000 Like, I'll tell you this.

01:37:20.000 Ben Shapiro?

01:37:21.000 not short. Really? Yep. Medium sized? Average. Average dude.

01:37:27.000 Average sized dude. Okay. But they attack him by saying he's short and then even people

01:37:32.000 who like him end up thinking he's short. I did. And then I met him and I was like he's like a

01:37:36.000 half inch shorter than me.

01:37:39.000 Or maybe like an inch shorter or something.

01:37:40.000 It is tough to gauge height on YouTube.

01:37:44.000 So I told you guys this when scheduling today, but I recently got married and I had a bunch of friends from LawTube come to my wedding also.

01:37:55.000 And it was like the first time that most of us had met in person.

01:37:58.000 And so that was like one of the funny things was like figuring out like who's taller than who.

01:38:02.000 And a lot of them, or at least a handful of them, the first time that they actually saw me in person was literally me walking down the aisle with my dad.

01:38:10.000 And they told me, they were like, you're taller than I thought you were going to be.

01:38:14.000 I'm like, well, I'm also wearing heels, but yeah, I am kind of a tall person.

01:38:19.000 I wonder what that is, why people assume height.

01:38:21.000 I don't think they assume it.

01:38:22.000 In the case of Ben Shapiro, they're trying to attack his masculinity on purpose.

01:38:28.000 Their idea is that conservatives value masculinity, therefore if you emasculate someone, people won't want to listen to them.

01:38:34.000 Bill Altman, the CEO and founder of Minds, when I first saw him on an internet video, it was on a YouTube video response that he made to me.

01:38:40.000 I thought he was like 5'7", but he's like 6'2", or something crazy.

01:38:46.000 Why did I assume that?

01:38:46.000 Nick Rikeda, also.

01:38:48.000 I thought he was shorter than he really is.

01:38:49.000 I mean, I haven't actually seen him in person, but he's also like 6'2", or 6'3", or I don't know.

01:38:56.000 Yeah, he's tall.

01:38:57.000 He's very tall.

01:38:58.000 But I think part of it sometimes is the camera angle that you have, and sometimes that can be a factor.

01:39:03.000 When the camera's above you, you look small.

01:39:05.000 Because people are imagining they're looking at you, and you must be small.

01:39:09.000 Yeah.

01:39:09.000 All right, let's read some more.

01:39:10.000 We got Derek Saferth says, I simply cannot figure out how to watch The After Show at 11.

01:39:16.000 I am a member and behind the paywall, and I'm 23, so I'm not a technological boomer.

01:39:21.000 So if you sign up for the website and you're logged in, on the homepage every night around 10.50 we put up, it'll be right there, it'll say members only on it, you click it and that's it, it plays.

01:39:33.000 If it's not working then there's an error, send us an email to members at timcast.com but it's really that, or if you click members only, we're actually going to be adding a whole bunch of shows.

01:39:42.000 The issue is We're at this point where we have the money to like start expanding, but it's still hard.

01:39:49.000 And we need like a web editor to handle all the uploads of graphics and images and maintaining all this stuff, but it's like, it gets more and more difficult.

01:39:57.000 So we need to add more and more members.

01:40:00.000 So what's going to happen is we're going to create low budget shows.

01:40:03.000 To attract more members and hope we cross that threshold of spending less money than, you know, getting a little profit off the memberships.

01:40:09.000 Then we can hire people to start cleaning things up and expanding.

01:40:12.000 You'll notice that the Daily Wire's first movies were either they bought them or they were low budget.

01:40:16.000 Like Terror on the Prairie, single location in the middle of nowhere, relatively low cost to shoot that kind of stuff.

01:40:21.000 Do a good story, it works.

01:40:23.000 So that's where we're going.

01:40:25.000 Yeah, let's read some more.

01:40:27.000 Alright.

01:40:29.000 Tyler Brown says, no Lydia, we riot!

01:40:32.000 That doesn't rhyme.

01:40:34.000 All right.

01:40:35.000 Don Diego says, I'm sure of it now more than ever. 1.00

01:40:37.000 The planet has drifted through a cosmic cloud of stupidity. 1.00

01:40:41.000 That could be. 1.00

01:40:41.000 Is that what this is? 1.00

01:40:42.000 Well, we often talk about the Large Hadron Collider.

01:40:45.000 They fired that thing up today, didn't they?

01:40:46.000 Was it today?

01:40:46.000 Oh, yeah, I think so.

01:40:48.000 Yeah.

01:40:48.000 Maybe.

01:40:48.000 Let's find out.

01:40:49.000 You hear about this?

01:40:50.000 What does it mean?

01:40:51.000 All right.

01:40:51.000 So they got this big ring, right?

01:40:53.000 It's a magnet.

01:40:55.000 And they put particles in it.

01:40:55.000 Yeah.

01:40:56.000 Spin around as fast as possible and then slam it into something else.

01:41:00.000 They're trying to simulate energy levels that appeared right after the Big Bang.

01:41:04.000 So a lot of people were scared that they'll make black holes and they're like, don't worry, the black holes will dissipate.

01:41:09.000 They're too small.

01:41:09.000 They can't sustain themselves.

01:41:11.000 And they did this right before Donald Trump got elected the first time.

01:41:14.000 So the joke is that they created some kind of dimensional rift or something like that.

01:41:19.000 And confirmed six hours ago from Live Science MSN, Large Hadron Collider switches on at highest ever power level to look for dark matter.

01:41:26.000 Did anything crazy happen?

01:41:27.000 I don't know yet.

01:41:28.000 What are you expecting to happen though?

01:41:30.000 Well, I think they're looking for excitons and other kinds, or exitons, I think is how it's pronounced, and other kind of polaritons, which are these subatomic particles that seem to pop in and out of reality.

01:41:42.000 Maybe when you bombard plasma with light.

01:41:44.000 I'm not exactly sure.

01:41:46.000 The polariton science is going to be a big part of the future.

01:41:49.000 What's gonna happen is we're all gonna wake up and Hillary Clinton's gonna be president and we're gonna be like, what happened?

01:41:54.000 The timeline!

01:41:54.000 It's 2016 again.

01:41:56.000 Yeah.

01:41:57.000 Gabe H says, I love the conspiracy theory episode you guys did Friday.

01:42:01.000 You should look into Wendigoon on YouTube.

01:42:03.000 He broke down a rather large conspiracy theory iceberg.

01:42:06.000 In total, it's about nine and a half hours.

01:42:08.000 Keep up the good work.

01:42:08.000 Wow.

01:42:09.000 One of the things we're going to be doing is we are preparing a weekly talk show on conspiracy and paranormal.

01:42:17.000 I know we talked about doing this a long time ago, but we ended up with Tales from the Inverted World, which is more serial.

01:42:23.000 We're going to be doing a weekly show, and it's going to be exploring deep into conspiracy theories and unsolved mysteries and stuff.

01:42:31.000 So that hopefully will start relatively soon because that's the plan.

01:42:34.000 You just start it up, you slowly build it up.

01:42:36.000 But we're currently renovating our haunted house so that we can actually do work in it because there's like asbestos or something.

01:42:42.000 I don't know.

01:42:42.000 We'll have to figure that out.

01:42:43.000 But hopefully soon, within the next few weeks, we're going to have a new studio facility that's creepy for our creepy paranormal conspiracy show.

01:42:51.000 That'll be a whole lot of fun.

01:42:52.000 Oh, some further info is they're running the Large Hadron Collider for four years, and then they're going to stop it and upgrade it.

01:42:59.000 And then in 2029, they're going to start it up again and expect it to have 10 times more data.

01:43:04.000 Cool.

01:43:05.000 Sideways says, Mary has that half asleep look and I can't get enough of it. 0.94

01:43:08.000 Like she could be in lo-fi beats to study relax to stream.

01:43:11.000 Super cute.

01:43:13.000 LOL.

01:43:14.000 Thank you.

01:43:14.000 I don't know if saying someone looks like they're half asleep is a good thing or.

01:43:19.000 I mean, for them it is, so.

01:43:20.000 It sounds like a compliment.

01:43:21.000 Thank you.

01:43:23.000 Plif, the alien, says Taylor Lorenz is originally from my planet, hence the insect eyes.

01:43:27.000 We didn't like her here. 0.95

01:43:29.000 Glad to see Earth doesn't either.

01:43:31.000 Well, all right.

01:43:32.000 That's one way to explain it.

01:43:33.000 I wonder if she ever goes by Tay Lorenz.

01:43:38.000 Tay Lorenz.

01:43:39.000 Yeah, I'm bringing it back.

01:43:39.000 Tay.

01:43:39.000 Tay-lo-lo.

01:43:41.000 Tay-lo-lo. 0.97

01:43:44.000 Joe Spinella says Prince changing his name was a way to maneuver out of his contract with Warner Brothers.

01:43:49.000 So we had more control over what music he released when and when ultimately, is there another message I don't have?

01:43:57.000 Okay, I guess that's it.

01:43:59.000 We'll have to try and find the it ends there.

01:44:02.000 So it was a way to that's what I thought it was like a legal thing.

01:44:05.000 That's what I heard.

01:44:06.000 That sounds vaguely familiar.

01:44:08.000 Yeah.

01:44:09.000 Like, how do you enforce a contract if you can't say the word?

01:44:12.000 Beavis McLean says, Tim, you inspired me to start building culture.

01:44:15.000 After I get out of the military, I'll not seek easy money from contracting work.

01:44:19.000 I'll be making content to inspire this in future generations.

01:44:21.000 Any advice for a newbie?

01:44:23.000 PS, love you and the whole team.

01:44:25.000 If you're in the military something military related, I don't know start making videos Start small start easy and just slowly start building up as it comes.

01:44:33.000 It's not always easy Sometimes you got to get a job.

01:44:35.000 You got to invest the money you're making until you can build it up to that point That's how you do it Inspire those future generations, man Brian L. says, name an American colony, Ian.

01:44:47.000 We have none.

01:44:49.000 Wake Island.

01:44:51.000 What's that?

01:44:51.000 It's an island in the Pacific that the U.S.

01:44:53.000 conquered in like 1920 or late 1800s.

01:44:56.000 The Philippines was an American colony.

01:44:58.000 We do have territories.

01:44:59.000 Yeah.

01:45:00.000 Puerto Rico.

01:45:00.000 Guam.

01:45:01.000 Yeah.

01:45:02.000 Puerto Rico.

01:45:02.000 Yeah, Puerto Rico.

01:45:03.000 Puerto Rico and Guam.

01:45:04.000 Apparently there's like no taxes or something there.

01:45:07.000 Is that how it works?

01:45:08.000 I think it's supposed to be a tax haven.

01:45:10.000 I think.

01:45:10.000 Yeah.

01:45:11.000 But they also have no voting rights.

01:45:13.000 Right.

01:45:13.000 Taxation without representation.

01:45:14.000 So it's like you can set a business there.

01:45:16.000 So I'm kind of like, wow, we should run TimCast there.

01:45:20.000 Tax-free USA.

01:45:21.000 Yeah.

01:45:23.000 And then getting people out there and stuff.

01:45:25.000 Mortem Isn't Edgy says, Hey Tim and crew, I'm in high school and I found your show in March of 2020, my freshman year.

01:45:31.000 I've been a loyal Spotify listener ever since. 0.84

01:45:32.000 Thanks so much for giving me a dissenting voice from my peers' vapid leftist trash. 0.93

01:45:36.000 My first super chat. 0.73

01:45:37.000 Hey, really appreciate it, man.

01:45:39.000 Glad to hear it.

01:45:42.000 All right.

01:45:43.000 What is this?

01:45:45.000 Tyler Adams says, I think when you referenced Smilebots from Doctor... Oh, Smilebots, that's right, from Doctor Who earlier today.

01:45:52.000 Did you like that series?

01:45:54.000 If so, does it hold up to Star Trek in theme?

01:45:56.000 I feel like the episode Haven't Sent is best Doctor Who episode.

01:45:59.000 I haven't seen a whole lot of Doctor Who, but there was an episode where they go to this planet where there's like a colony.

01:46:05.000 But there's no humans.

01:46:06.000 And they find robots with big smiley faces on them.

01:46:08.000 And they wear badges with like smiley faces or something like that.

01:46:11.000 And then the general idea is unhappiness is a virus, is the theme sort of.

01:46:16.000 So the robots were tasked with keeping everyone happy.

01:46:19.000 But one day someone died of old age.

01:46:22.000 Everyone around the old woman got sad.

01:46:25.000 The machines couldn't figure out how to make them happy because, you can, people get sad.

01:46:29.000 When the people who were sad came into contact with happy people and explained someone died, the happy people became sad.

01:46:36.000 So the robots were like, we can't stop the unhappiness, and it spreads, so they killed anyone who was unhappy.

01:46:41.000 Oh jeez.

01:46:42.000 Well, that resulted in everyone else getting very unhappy, so they end up killing everybody. 0.80

01:46:45.000 Oh jeez.

01:46:46.000 So like, Doctor Who and, you know, the other person have to walk around faking a smile like, everything's good!

01:46:51.000 Oh jeez.

01:46:51.000 Yeah, it's creepy.

01:46:53.000 But that's what people don't understand about AI.

01:46:54.000 It doesn't go the way you think it's gonna go, you know?

01:46:59.000 Rodolfo Ramirez says we are in the corporate version of the movie Nightcrawler.

01:47:04.000 Have you guys seen Nightcrawler?

01:47:05.000 I haven't.

01:47:06.000 No.

01:47:06.000 Yeah.

01:47:07.000 That movie's so good.

01:47:07.000 Jake Gyllenhaal.

01:47:08.000 Yes.

01:47:09.000 Not the superhero Nightcrawler, but he's a late-night journalist that chases tragedy, basically, in the middle of the night.

01:47:18.000 Nightcrawlers are reporters who go out at night and chase after crime scenes and accidents and then sell the footage to news outlets.

01:47:25.000 Yo, this movie's so good.

01:47:27.000 Is it really?

01:47:28.000 It's really good.

01:47:29.000 You gotta watch it.

01:47:30.000 It's an interesting look into the psychology of people that seek trauma.

01:47:33.000 Interesting.

01:47:34.000 It's an indictment of journalists.

01:47:35.000 If you don't like journalists, watch the movie Nightcrawler.

01:47:38.000 You're gonna be like, yup.

01:47:40.000 It's brutal. 0.99

01:47:42.000 He's an evil dude. 0.94

01:47:43.000 Really? 0.98

01:47:44.000 Yes.

01:47:45.000 And the other people at the news outlets?

01:47:48.000 Also very evil.

01:47:49.000 It's amazing.

01:47:50.000 I don't wanna spoil it.

01:47:52.000 But he's an evil dude, and the people in the news outlets are like, good.

01:47:55.000 They're like, we don't care, the ratings, the ratings.

01:47:59.000 It's just, it's brutal.

01:48:00.000 Yeah, man, very, very brutal.

01:48:02.000 All right, let's read.

01:48:04.000 What do we got here?

01:48:05.000 Uh-oh.

01:48:06.000 Storm Viking says, Ian, you disgust me sometimes with communist woke talking points.

01:48:10.000 America was not founded as a slave state, learn history.

01:48:13.000 And if you hate America so much, move out.

01:48:15.000 Canada sounds right up your alley.

01:48:16.000 Oh, that was brutal.

01:48:17.000 It was also kind of vague.

01:48:19.000 I thought the US did have slaves when it was founded.

01:48:21.000 And right before it, Arafatis of Stet says, Ian's rolling 20s cast IRL.

01:48:28.000 That is the wonderful dichotomy of reality.

01:48:31.000 I'll see in the chats, it'll be like, 20 Ian, 1 Ian.

01:48:34.000 Sean St.

01:48:35.000 George says, I'm a little surprised Daily Wire deadnaming you on Twitter isn't the lead, JK.

01:48:40.000 So I tweeted, the reason people call me Pim Tool all the time is because it's my deadname.

01:48:45.000 Therefore, if you call me Pim Tool, I will report you.

01:48:47.000 It's a gag.

01:48:49.000 And then the Daily Wire account called me Pim Tool.

01:48:51.000 I thought it was funny.

01:48:53.000 But that's the game we can play, right?

01:48:55.000 You can't call me any names anymore?

01:48:56.000 Is that how it works?

01:48:57.000 Think about how insane this is.

01:48:58.000 If you call someone... What's... Communist, for instance.

01:49:04.000 What if someone in a comment called me communist?

01:49:05.000 Should I go after that guy? 0.63

01:49:06.000 That's insane. 0.94

01:49:08.000 On Twitter, if you call someone a butthead, it's a direct insult. 0.98

01:49:12.000 Let's say you call them like a mother effer or something. 1.00

01:49:15.000 Totally allowed.

01:49:16.000 But if you use the incorrect name, you're banned.

01:49:20.000 That's so weird.

01:49:22.000 Yeah, it's arbitrary.

01:49:23.000 Did you know this too?

01:49:23.000 Twitter allows you to remove videos with you in them, whether you own the copyright or not.

01:49:28.000 So if, like Ian, if you're walking down the street and someone films you and then uploads it, you can get it removed.

01:49:33.000 I think Twitter admins are too involved in the process at this point.

01:49:37.000 Agreed.

01:49:38.000 Software should just be there and they should be like making sure that people aren't destroying the world.

01:49:41.000 I'm not so sure about that either, though, because TikTok seems to be run by robots and they ban everyone.

01:49:48.000 Yeah, IRL got banned from TikTok.

01:49:52.000 I just don't think that that was, like, one person's decision.

01:49:56.000 It's the algorithm, because you got mass-reported.

01:50:00.000 You don't think it would lie at the feet of the chairman?

01:50:02.000 Chairman, uh, what's his name?

01:50:04.000 Xi Jinping at the top of the Communist Chinese Party.

01:50:06.000 Hey, I have a WeChat account.

01:50:07.000 We can't talk about that.

01:50:09.000 We can talk about whatever you want.

01:50:11.000 Raymond G says, I love that the UFO is always spinning.

01:50:15.000 Tim gave it a nice spin before the show tonight.

01:50:17.000 Just keeps going.

01:50:19.000 All right.

01:50:19.000 Brandon Tom says, imagine if Biden went on the Joe Rogan experience.

01:50:22.000 Hey, Jamie, can you check Batacaf care?

01:50:24.000 Here's the thing.

01:50:26.000 Joe Rogan was like, I don't want Trump coming on the show because it would help him.

01:50:29.000 OK, Joe, would you have Biden on the show?

01:50:30.000 It'll hurt him.

01:50:31.000 Hands down.

01:50:32.000 Fact.

01:50:33.000 Joe Biden for two hours in that chair with Joe, Biden would be destroyed.

01:50:40.000 I mean, he did offer to moderate a debate between the two of them for 2020.

01:50:45.000 But can I just go back to that point I made during that segment?

01:50:48.000 If Joe Rogan thinks Trump coming on a show would benefit him, and he thinks Joe Biden is a dead man, as he said it, he's basically saying how he views both individuals.

01:50:59.000 Trump is capable either of lying or convincing you, and Biden is out of it.

01:51:04.000 So he shouldn't have either of them.

01:51:06.000 Having Biden on a show would help Trump tremendously.

01:51:11.000 All right.

01:51:13.000 Adam Townsend said, for proper context, you can see Rogan's quote on Lex Friedman's recent interview.

01:51:18.000 I recommend you actually watch the whole show, because, you know, you get the full context.

01:51:24.000 Oh, did you watch it earlier?

01:51:25.000 I watched a big chunk of it.

01:51:27.000 Yeah, me too.

01:51:28.000 I don't watch the whole thing.

01:51:30.000 I watch the relevant political part.

01:51:31.000 It's because on YouTube, you can actually jump to it.

01:51:32.000 It's funny because it was like just two dudes talking.

01:51:35.000 I was like, Oh, I can't wait to go listen to two guys talk.

01:51:38.000 Like what, what is society?

01:51:40.000 What like we really are social creatures that that was that invigorating to hear two random guys have a conversation.

01:51:47.000 All right.

01:51:48.000 The KL Tanker says, California is passing a bill that would require a homeowner, renter, or gun insurance policy in your name to own a gun, essentially making you pay for your rights.

01:51:59.000 And Maryland just announced that they're getting rid of the qualification for a handgun license.

01:52:05.000 So this is really funny.

01:52:06.000 Supreme Court said you can't require a reason for getting a permit.

01:52:09.000 New York lost.

01:52:10.000 New York immediately came out and nullified Supreme Court's rulings, and we're gonna do whatever we want anyway.

01:52:15.000 Maryland came out and they were like, okay, From this point forward, remove the qualifying reason for all handgun permits.

01:52:21.000 And I was like, okay, all right, let me look up what you need to get a Maryland handgun permit.

01:52:27.000 Yo, it's still impossible.

01:52:30.000 You need to do, I think, 16 hours of handgun training, which is probably gonna be at, what, four days?

01:52:37.000 Unless you do an eight-hour course followed by Saturday and Sunday.

01:52:39.000 Some people, maybe you'll do that.

01:52:41.000 You have to pass a proficiency test.

01:52:43.000 I get it.

01:52:45.000 But saying someone lacks skills?

01:52:48.000 means they don't get their rights is kind of a crazy idea.

01:52:52.000 Like, I understand why you're like, you have to know how to use a permit before you get a permit for it, but the Constitution says shall not be infringed, there's no qualifications, you can't do that.

01:53:00.000 I'm surprised Maryland hasn't been sued over that.

01:53:02.000 You have to get, for a non-law enforcement or security, you have to hit 25 rounds, you have to get 70% accuracy with 25 rounds from 15 yards.

01:53:15.000 Not like the hardest thing in the world requires some practice and some training, but I just thought it was kind of crazy that they could put a skill requirement on it.

01:53:23.000 What if you're... What if, you know, your hand's busted up?

01:53:28.000 Like, what if your hand's broken?

01:53:29.000 And you're like, someone's trying to kill me, but I broke my hands.

01:53:32.000 I could use it if I had to, but I'm not going to be able to be that accurate.

01:53:35.000 Like, well, you don't get your rights because you're not good enough to use it.

01:53:39.000 It's kind of a crazy idea, right?

01:53:42.000 If someone's legally blind, then they just are not allowed to have a gun?

01:53:46.000 I mean, obviously you would think it wouldn't necessarily be a good thing.

01:53:48.000 Blind people are allowed to have guns. 0.99

01:53:49.000 I think they are.

01:53:50.000 They are.

01:53:52.000 Like, imagine this.

01:53:54.000 I'm gonna say it right now. 0.94

01:53:55.000 Blind people should be allowed to walk in and buy a gun and bullets and walk out. 1.00

01:54:01.000 Period.

01:54:02.000 And I would love for all of the liberals to come out and tell me that someone due to their disability should be denied a human right.

01:54:07.000 Say it.

01:54:08.000 Because I'll take that clip.

01:54:09.000 By all means, do it.

01:54:11.000 Just because you're blind doesn't mean you don't get the right to have a weapon.

01:54:14.000 You know why?

01:54:15.000 Because maybe you have someone who's a caretaker.

01:54:19.000 Maybe you have someone who looks after you and you want to get a weapon for yourself.

01:54:24.000 They're not going to carry it around, but other people can pick up a weapon in defense of others.

01:54:28.000 Tell me that people don't deserve their rights if they're disabled. 1.00

01:54:30.000 I'll call you nuts.

01:54:33.000 Blackwing says, you are partially right about the media thinking they know everything. 0.94

01:54:36.000 They do get experts.

01:54:38.000 Experts that will tow the media line for a price.

01:54:41.000 That's absolutely correct.

01:54:43.000 They'll bring people in and say, we'll give you the money, just say what we want you to say.

01:54:47.000 Zmeister says, as a member, please refer to the Covington Kid as CovCath Kid.

01:54:51.000 I cringe every time you say that as a graduate from Covington Catholic.

01:54:56.000 Okay, you want me to be a little bit more specific?

01:54:57.000 We'll call it CovCath.

01:54:59.000 The problem is I don't think anyone knows what that means.

01:55:01.000 So you went there, you know that?

01:55:02.000 Most people don't know what CovCath would be and then have to explain it further.

01:55:06.000 I could say Covington Catholic, that's for sure.

01:55:10.000 Eric Boyd says, as a Daily Wire subscriber, hearing you congratulate them, I had to subscribe to TimCast too.

01:55:16.000 I did, and here's some SuperChat money too.

01:55:18.000 Let's catch Daily Wire and beat them in creating culture. 0.77

01:55:20.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:55:21.000 Thank you very much, Eric.

01:55:22.000 No, I'm a huge fan of what they're doing.

01:55:24.000 I am jealous of what they're doing.

01:55:25.000 We've got something in the works.

01:55:27.000 We're planning something special as a...

01:55:31.000 Homage to the Daily Wire.

01:55:34.000 And we're not going to say what it is until it's ready to come out and it's going to be really fun and really funny.

01:55:38.000 But they're absolutely killing it.

01:55:41.000 Doing the Lord's work.

01:55:42.000 They're making movies that are just movies.

01:55:44.000 They're standing up for freedom.

01:55:46.000 They're standing up for this country.

01:55:48.000 So their victory is our victory.

01:55:50.000 You know why I do all of this?

01:55:51.000 Why I do this show?

01:55:52.000 It's because I'm tired of the lies. 0.73

01:55:53.000 I want to call out the media, the liars, the manipulators.

01:55:57.000 When the Daily Wire does that in spades, it's just good news across the board.

01:56:01.000 So let's see more victory.

01:56:03.000 You know what I'd love to see?

01:56:04.000 You get Steven Crowder, you get Tim Cass, you get Daily Wire, who or some other, you get Carl Benjamin, Count Dankula, you get all these people, massive success, hundreds of millions of viewers, CNN, just... I mean, it's already happened.

01:56:16.000 CNN's failing, Daily Wire's taken off.

01:56:19.000 These are good days, man.

01:56:20.000 These are good days.

01:56:23.000 All right.

01:56:24.000 Yellow Fluffy Feather says, Luke, come back.

01:56:26.000 We promised Tim we'll let you speak your mind and not be mean to you.

01:56:30.000 Uh, yeah, Luke, what are you doing?

01:56:31.000 Did you bully Luke off the show?

01:56:32.000 Yeah.

01:56:33.000 Did you see it?

01:56:33.000 Yeah.

01:56:34.000 Yeah, that's right.

01:56:34.000 It was Seamus, actually.

01:56:35.000 They were nose to nose.

01:56:36.000 Well, Seamus and Luke were always fighting.

01:56:39.000 And then Luke was like, I'm not here if Seamus is here.

01:56:41.000 And he left.

01:56:42.000 And then Seamus was like, I'm not here if Luke's here.

01:56:43.000 And he left.

01:56:43.000 Now they're both gone.

01:56:45.000 Neither of them are here.

01:56:46.000 That's what happens when you stick to what you say you're going to do.

01:56:48.000 That's actually not what happened.

01:56:49.000 Refusal to adapt.

01:56:50.000 That was just kidding.

01:56:51.000 Luke is, what is he doing?

01:56:53.000 Some hippie stuff up in New Hampshire, I think.

01:56:55.000 Yeah, his return is imminent, that's for sure.

01:56:57.000 Yeah, he'll be back soon, but crazy stuff going on.

01:57:01.000 So I'll shout out, I'm going to shout out Mercedes Benz.

01:57:05.000 Because we had a vehicle for picking up guests.

01:57:10.000 So when we have people fly in, we have someone go and pick them up and bring them here. 0.97

01:57:13.000 It's actually cheaper than getting a car service, for sure.

01:57:16.000 And here's the story as I was told.

01:57:20.000 We had an oil issue, brought it to Mercedes-Benz in Hagerstown, Maryland.

01:57:25.000 And there's a reason, this story has a point rather than what we're talking about, just bear with me.

01:57:29.000 And, uh, they said they fixed it.

01:57:31.000 We were then driving one day, and the engine seized, and the engine just became trash.

01:57:35.000 $20,000 to fix.

01:57:36.000 So we brought it to a different Mercedes-Benz, this time in Chantilly, Virginia.

01:57:40.000 And, uh, then when we got it back, the suspension was broken.

01:57:44.000 Right away.

01:57:44.000 Like, we get it back, we're like, hey, what's wrong with it?

01:57:46.000 And they went, oops, we'll fix it.

01:57:47.000 Then they call us, apparently, or message us saying, oh, also the engine mounts are broken.

01:57:51.000 And it's like, what is going on with these dealerships?

01:57:53.000 Not only, they won't answer their phones.

01:57:55.000 Totally broken.

01:57:56.000 So what we think is happening is, Nobody's working, and there's supply chain disruption, so they just can't fix.

01:58:03.000 And so I feel like they're lying to us just to get us out the door because they can't fix the problems.

01:58:07.000 I have no idea.

01:58:08.000 But this is one of the big issues with Luke, is that everyone is feeling this.

01:58:13.000 Car repairs are getting more and more difficult.

01:58:15.000 That's for sure.

01:58:17.000 And if that's the case, it means everything's gonna take a lot longer.

01:58:20.000 We've been trying to build the new HQ in West Virginia, and it's been delayed by like three months just because of all the supply disruptions.

01:58:27.000 So. 0.99

01:58:28.000 But Mercedes-Benz, you are trash, and I am extremely livid. 0.99

01:58:33.000 I tweeted about it because after like, what has it been, six months? 0.99

01:58:37.000 Three to six months of trying to get this vehicle fixed, we had to buy a new vehicle.

01:58:41.000 And it's funny because people on Twitter are like, Tim, you're rich, who cares?

01:58:43.000 I'm like, yo, this is the business's vehicle.

01:58:45.000 Employees can't use our personal vehicles.

01:58:47.000 The business needs a car to pick up guests to do the show.

01:58:50.000 And Mercedes, in my opinion, I believe they broke the engine.

01:58:53.000 I believe they screwed up, they broke it. 0.98

01:58:55.000 And now the only way I can get it resolved is by coming on the show and saying Mercedes-Benz is trash, don't buy their cars. 0.98

01:59:01.000 That's it. 0.98

01:59:01.000 That's all I can do. 0.98

01:59:02.000 It's going to cost us like $50,000.

01:59:03.000 And it's like, what can you do about it?

01:59:05.000 Wow.

01:59:06.000 That's like a new car.

01:59:07.000 $20,000 because the engine broke.

01:59:09.000 And the time too.

01:59:10.000 The time is expensive for a business to lose its transport.

01:59:13.000 When the engine's seized and everything else is good, it's like spend the $20,000 now and the car works.

01:59:18.000 I wonder if we live in an age of entitlement where I'm like, you should do my thing for me.

01:59:22.000 Where's my, where's my easy things?

01:59:26.000 Like I'm so used to things being relatively fluid and easy that now it's like, harvest your own grain, bro.

01:59:31.000 Like, come on.

01:59:32.000 We did that.

01:59:32.000 Yeah, we did.

01:59:34.000 We had some weed week.

01:59:34.000 I'd do it again too.

01:59:36.000 All right.

01:59:36.000 David C says, please reach out to Matt Christensen and Blonde.

01:59:40.000 We need this mashup.

01:59:40.000 Love you guys.

01:59:42.000 Absolutely.

01:59:42.000 Would love to have both of them on the show.

01:59:43.000 That'd be great.

01:59:45.000 We will bring them out.

01:59:49.000 Bachi Pwin says, anyone else think Gavin Newsom looks and acts like Christian Bale in American Psycho?

01:59:54.000 Yes.

01:59:54.000 Agreed.

01:59:55.000 He's not that cool.

01:59:58.000 Yeah.

02:00:00.000 I bet he loves that movie.

02:00:02.000 He's like, I'm gonna be just like Patrick Bateman.

02:00:05.000 Brandon de Armas says, hey, first time super chatting.

02:00:08.000 Also not even a question.

02:00:10.000 Related to tonight, I'm putting this in at work because I've been wondering what y'all think of the game Death Stranding.

02:00:15.000 The director's cut game came out a while back, oddly relevant currently.

02:00:19.000 I never played it.

02:00:19.000 Did you play it?

02:00:20.000 No, I never did.

02:00:21.000 It didn't really appeal to me.

02:00:22.000 It's not my kind of game.

02:00:23.000 It's a, it's a game where you run.

02:00:26.000 The whole game is like running.

02:00:27.000 I heard it.

02:00:28.000 I heard the game is called, is, um, carry all the groceries into the house in one trip simulator.

02:00:33.000 Yes.

02:00:33.000 That's what people told me.

02:00:34.000 Don't pass out simulator from all the way.

02:00:37.000 It's the guy from walking dead.

02:00:38.000 What's his name?

02:00:39.000 And you just carry stuff.

02:00:40.000 Daryl from walking dead.

02:00:41.000 Yeah.

02:00:41.000 And you just, you're carrying like a child in a, in a case.

02:00:44.000 Keep it.

02:00:44.000 It's like the last baby or something and you got to get it to the city.

02:00:47.000 No, it's something like the babies keep away the demons or something like that.

02:00:51.000 Okay.

02:00:52.000 I'm sure people are chatting like you guys have no idea.

02:00:53.000 Don't lean too much to the right.

02:00:55.000 Don't lean too much to the left.

02:00:57.000 It's not my kind of game.

02:00:58.000 Gaffs says, Tim, your brother's channel Reactor is legendary.

02:01:01.000 I know.

02:01:02.000 Oh, yes.

02:01:03.000 Can we talk about that?

02:01:04.000 The legend of Reactor?

02:01:06.000 No, you're not allowed.

02:01:09.000 It's dead naming.

02:01:12.000 All right.

02:01:13.000 Kate J says, Tim, this just broke today.

02:01:14.000 A judge in Uruguay, or it's Uruguay for those Americans, orders government and Pfizer present all information on COVID-19 jabs within 48 hours, including the presence, the possible presence of graphene oxide and nanotech.

02:01:27.000 Just because they're requesting it doesn't mean it's there.

02:01:30.000 So we'll see if anything comes out of that.

02:01:31.000 But you know, I'd be, I'd be shocked if any, any stuff come out of that.

02:01:34.000 Like, if any of that came out to be true, to be honest.

02:01:37.000 All right, Stephen Simard says, it's 100% the supply chain right now.

02:01:41.000 I'm a mechanic, and I have had eight-plus-month wait times for parts.

02:01:45.000 It's unreal.

02:01:46.000 Wow.

02:01:46.000 That's insane.

02:01:47.000 Kalian Shaw, Indie Game says, Death Stranding is 1000% Ian's kind of game.

02:01:52.000 It seems so boring.

02:01:54.000 You gotta give it no action.

02:01:55.000 You gotta give it a try.

02:01:56.000 Is there at least a storyline to it?

02:01:58.000 Yeah, it's basically like a movie, but you have a little bit of control over which direction the guy leans.

02:02:05.000 Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, tell them about it if you really want to help, and head over to TimCast.com.

02:03:21.000 No, it's better than a rock.

02:03:22.000 It's a little bit more tailored to your interests.

02:03:24.000 Is it a gun?

02:03:26.000 No, I don't think I don't think I don't I don't think TSA would allow me to play with that.

02:04:04.000 1,500 games on, I don't know, I have so many games.

02:04:11.000 Yeah.

02:04:12.000 Flourishing and developing technology.

02:04:13.000 And then some a-hole is like, I'm going to invade. 0.95
