Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Democrat Media Attacks Local Restaurant To Silence Inflation Story w-Kyle Becker

00:00:00.000 How's it going everybody?

00:00:06.000 I almost didn't want to do this story as the lead for a few reasons.

00:00:09.000 One, I think a lot of people are commenting that the story about a local restaurant being attacked by establishment media and Democrat activists isn't that big of a deal.

00:00:18.000 I saw one person said, oh, it must be a slow news day.

00:00:20.000 No, this is just substantially more important than other news.

00:00:23.000 I mean, we've got some big stories.

00:00:25.000 We've got San Francisco is going to be, they've announced they're launching their vaccine passports.

00:00:30.000 I mean, that's a huge story.

00:00:32.000 Uh, it's the third city to do it.

00:00:34.000 I think that matters.

00:00:35.000 I think it matters a whole lot.

00:00:36.000 But this story about the restaurant really, really got to me.

00:00:40.000 I don't want to do it for the other reason was that drawing more attention on some working class dude and his buddy who just want to serve burgers and chicken wings.

00:00:50.000 I think it might be bad for them, you know, but I can't ignore what's going on with the psychosis of these Democrat media establishment types.

00:01:02.000 And I'm trying to figure out, like, how do you describe these people? 0.89

00:01:04.000 They are authoritarian psychopaths, all right?

00:01:08.000 The gist of the story is some guy gave a quote to local media about his rising costs of food because of inflation. 0.90

00:01:16.000 It was not political in any sense of the imagination.

00:01:19.000 Local GOP highlighted the story, calling it bot inflation.

00:01:23.000 Now what's happening is several different Democrat-aligned media outlets have called the restaurant liars, insulted them, they're mocking them, and they're driving a harassment campaign at them to the point where, you know, I got a call, I called them for a comment to clarify, like, what's going on?

00:01:39.000 Because the gag is that their mayonnaise was their guzzling mayonnaise.

00:01:42.000 Now people are going after the business.

00:01:44.000 They're slamming them on Yelp, and this guy didn't even do anything.

00:01:48.000 He never criticized Biden.

00:01:49.000 He had said nothing about it.

00:01:50.000 He just said, oh yeah, inflation's been, you know, kind of intense.

00:01:53.000 We're spending, you know, 200 bucks more per week on mayonnaise.

00:01:56.000 And now to see what they're doing to regular people.

00:01:58.000 I'll tell you why I think this story is more important.

00:02:01.000 Then a lot of other things it shows you. 1.00

00:02:02.000 You have an authoritarian despotic cult that will destroy a local business simply because something they said that was true and factual threatens their regime, their stupid system. 1.00

00:02:17.000 Yo, Biden's responsible for the inflation for a lot of reasons. 1.00

00:02:20.000 This guy didn't even say that.

00:02:21.000 Now what's happened?

00:02:22.000 You get Huffington Post, The Independent, Indy 100, going after a small business and calling them liars and driving these lunatics on the internet at this restaurant?

00:02:32.000 And now they're telling me they're worried, like, is this gonna- is this- are we gonna get, you know, shut down because of this?

00:02:36.000 Are they gonna come after us?

00:02:37.000 It's gonna hurt us.

00:02:38.000 We don't know what's gonna happen next.

00:02:39.000 Dude seemed like he was genuinely scared because he never experienced this and this guy's totally apolitical.

00:02:44.000 We got to talk about this, about how when you get effectively brown shirts going around beating people in a submission, what that's going to lead to. 0.76

00:02:52.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:02:53.000 We'll talk about what's going on in San Francisco with the other side of the authoritarian coin.

00:02:57.000 And we're being joined by Kyle Becker, CEO of Becker News.

00:03:00.000 How's it going, man?

00:03:01.000 Good, Tim.

00:03:01.000 Thanks for having me on.

00:03:02.000 It's been great and I look forward to talking with you during the show.

00:03:06.000 You want to just do a little brief introduction, like your work, what you do?

00:03:08.000 Yeah, so I run my own website, beckernews.com.

00:03:12.000 You can find me on Twitter at Kyle N. A. Becker.

00:03:15.000 And, you know, I've been in the media for a while as former Fox News associate producer and writer.

00:03:21.000 And, you know, I've worked in media for a while.

00:03:24.000 Viral media expert, so.

00:03:27.000 Cool.

00:03:28.000 That's kind of I have a perspective on that.

00:03:29.000 Thanks for coming.

00:03:29.000 Right on, man.

00:03:30.000 Good to see you, man.

00:03:31.000 We got Ian.

00:03:32.000 Before I forget, I think a lot of these writers that are writing this that are like taking things and printing them out of context.

00:03:38.000 At first, I thought they seemed psychotic because they're less they're not critically thinking. 1.00

00:03:42.000 They're kind of stupid, you could argue. 0.99

00:03:44.000 But then I'm thinking maybe they're just dizzy, because if you take the best pitcher in Major League Baseball in the world and you spin them around really fast for a long time and then you ask him to throw a pitch, it's going to be terribly off. 1.00

00:03:54.000 So maybe these people are just all F'd up, confused, messed up, terrified, and so they're acting weird. 0.96

00:04:01.000 And it's not that they're stupid. 0.99

00:04:02.000 When we went over Philip DeFranco's tweet, you know Philip DeFranco? 1.00

00:04:06.000 He tweeted just like this really vile, nasty thing like, F you, I'm not gonna apologize to you, you anti-vaxxer.

00:04:13.000 I'm like, when did people go, when did they become evil? 0.99

00:04:17.000 Where they were like, I will burn you to the ground for no reason!

00:04:20.000 Well, I think that the the pressure that we've seen over the last two years, the pressure cooker that we've all been in starting with the elections.

00:04:27.000 We had the you know, the January 6th event.

00:04:30.000 We've had the covid lockdowns that seem to be going on and on and on, or at least, you know, the regulations.

00:04:35.000 And, you know, we have the critical race theory and all of these things is sort of, you know, a menagerie of forces or people being pulled in different directions by information that we're all exposed to.

00:04:46.000 We're an information overload.

00:04:48.000 But I'm just saying, like, I mean, why did people turn into... It's almost like, you know, Bilbo Baggins in Lord of the Rings when he's all like, oh Frodo, can I see the ring?

00:04:48.000 Sure, sure.

00:04:59.000 You know, like, what happened to people where all of a sudden they become demonic and possessed?

00:05:03.000 But I don't want to drag on.

00:05:04.000 We'll get to all this stuff for sure.

00:05:06.000 We got Lydia pressing buttons. 1.00

00:05:07.000 I'm in the corner pressing buttons.

00:05:08.000 I'm excited for tonight's conversation.

00:05:10.000 As always, very intrigued to learn about Mayo Gate.

00:05:13.000 Mayo Gate.

00:05:14.000 Man, this one got me really angry.

00:05:18.000 It gets me really angry.

00:05:20.000 Because these are just regular working-class people who don't care for politics, want to be left alone. 1.00

00:05:25.000 But I've been saying this for some time.

00:05:27.000 You think ducking your head and getting out of the way?

00:05:29.000 No, no.

00:05:30.000 They'll come knocking.

00:05:31.000 They're going door to door.

00:05:32.000 I said this was going to happen.

00:05:33.000 I had all these leftists being like, Tim Pooles lost his mind, saying they're going to come for you.

00:05:36.000 Regular guy.

00:05:38.000 Did nothing wrong.

00:05:39.000 They're coming after him.

00:05:40.000 They're giving him bad reviews.

00:05:42.000 It's crazy stuff, man.

00:07:55.000 My friends, welcome to MayonnaiseGate.

00:07:57.000 We'll give it the funniest name we can.

00:07:58.000 MayoGate.

00:08:00.000 This is a story from WXII.

00:08:02.000 Winston-Salem restaurants struggling due to inflation caused by pandemic.

00:08:06.000 Experts blame inflated prices on high demand due to the pandemic.

00:08:10.000 High demand and low supply.

00:08:12.000 Why is there a low supply?

00:08:13.000 Because in April, 4 million people quit their job.

00:08:16.000 They're calling it the Great Resignation.

00:08:17.000 Why are people quitting their jobs?

00:08:19.000 Because they don't have to pay rent and because they are getting $16 an hour on average from unemployment payments.

00:08:24.000 That's not literally every single person who quit their job doing it for that reason, but a large reason is this.

00:08:29.000 When people don't need to work to get money and they don't need to pay rent, they say to themselves, maybe I should do something else and be more fulfilled.

00:08:38.000 I can respect not wanting to work crappy jobs.

00:08:40.000 But when people don't work, they don't make stuff.

00:08:42.000 When there's no stuff, there's low supply and the demand remains the same, prices will

00:08:47.000 start going up.

00:08:48.000 Now many of these media organizations are trying to obfuscate this.

00:08:52.000 They don't want people to realize it is the fault of Democrat policies and Joe Biden's

00:08:55.000 administration.

00:08:56.000 So they'll do everything in their power to lie, cheat and steal.

00:08:59.000 And the worst thing about it is this story really grinds my gears because they're attacking

00:09:03.000 for no good reason, a local restaurant in North Carolina that didn't even get political.

00:09:09.000 This is Mayonnaise Gate.

00:09:11.000 How hilarious.

00:09:12.000 And sad.

00:09:13.000 Here's what happened.

00:09:14.000 They say, WXII spoke with the owner of The Sherwood, a family-owned restaurant in Winston-Salem.

00:09:20.000 Pete straights the owner to find out how much trouble inflation has caused.

00:09:24.000 He says that an increase in prices has put his business in a difficult situation.

00:09:27.000 Quote, You can only offset so much in this business, and it seems like every year you lose here, you lose there.

00:09:33.000 I'll give you an example.

00:09:34.000 I'm paying $200 more a week in mayonnaise.

00:09:37.000 Now, when I saw this story, it was because a bunch of Democrat-aligned media figures were mocking the restaurant and calling them liars, saying if prices went up by 5.4%, that would mean that $200, that would equal $3,700 in mayonnaise per week.

00:09:56.000 Because these people seem to think that the price increase is static across all products, because they have no idea how the economy works.

00:10:02.000 Surprise, surprise when they try and push communism or socialism.

00:10:06.000 What really happened, because I called the restaurant and asked them to clarify, one of the partners simply said, oh yeah, you know, we do about ten buckets per week, they're five gallons each, and they used to be about eighteen dollars, now they're thirty-six.

00:10:19.000 So, you do the math, it's, you know, eighteen bucks times ten, it's about two hundred dollars.

00:10:23.000 And I went, makes sense to me.

00:10:25.000 And he said, we use the mayonnaise for our dressings and things like that, and anybody who knows, who's worked in the restaurant industry, knows you go through a lot of Here's what we end up getting.

00:10:39.000 We have this from Indy 100.

00:10:41.000 Republicans tried to attack Joe Biden over the price of mayonnaise, and the responses were hilarious.

00:10:49.000 Posting on Twitter, the official branch of the party shared a story in which restauranteurs expressed dismayo about the price of mayo.

00:10:57.000 Yes, saying they were spending more than $200 a week on it and claimed this was due to Bidenflation.

00:11:02.000 The restaurant never said that.

00:11:04.000 That's a lie.

00:11:05.000 The restaurant never blamed Joe Biden for this.

00:11:07.000 But Indy is saying restaurateurs blamed Bidenflation.

00:11:13.000 The North Carolina Republicans must have been too hangry and lacking in egg nutrients to notice, however. 0.76

00:11:18.000 The article they shared quoted experts who blamed the coronavirus pandemic on inflation and not on Biden.

00:11:24.000 Here's what we have from The Independent.

00:11:26.000 This is from a different writer.

00:11:28.000 GOP ridiculed for bizarre Biden mayonnaise smear.

00:11:32.000 Something might be happening with mayo consumption in North Carolina.

00:11:35.000 These people didn't bother doing a simple Google search, calling a restaurant, getting

00:11:38.000 a quote and saying how much mayonnaise is normal for a restaurant to use.

00:11:41.000 We also have the Huffington Post.

00:11:43.000 Republicans attempt to smear Biden over mayonnaise gets creamed on Twitter.

00:11:47.000 How much mayo can one restaurant use in a week anyway?

00:11:50.000 And you get all your normal culprits.

00:11:52.000 Aaron Rupar.

00:11:53.000 Everybody knows Aaron Rupar.

00:11:54.000 It's called Rupar.

00:11:54.000 Yeah, there's a verb.

00:11:55.000 To Rupar someone.

00:11:57.000 What's the definition?

00:11:58.000 To take something out of context and mischaracterize.

00:12:00.000 To falsely frame a story.

00:12:01.000 What designer drug is mayonnaise code for?

00:12:04.000 Jonah Blank says, somebody's eating way too much mayonnaise.

00:12:07.000 Then, I don't care for these regular, you know, this guy who works at Facebook said, just imagine the heroic amounts of mayo this restaurant must be going through. 1.00

00:12:16.000 These people are a combination of ignorant, arrogant, and aggressive. 0.99

00:12:21.000 And that is shockingly terrifying, because what does that mean? 1.00

00:12:25.000 They're too stupid to understand how basic economics works, why a restaurant might need 50 gallons of mayonnaise per week, which probably does. 0.99

00:12:33.000 The restaurant capacity, I also reached out, 250 people. 1.00

00:12:36.000 You get 250 people at one time in a restaurant during a waitlist period, and you've all seen a wait- you've all had a waitlist at a restaurant.

00:12:43.000 How much mayonnaise do you think they're going to use for 250 people in a 30 minute period?

00:12:47.000 And now, how many people are coming to the restaurant every day?

00:12:50.000 Could be a thousand?

00:12:51.000 Yeah.

00:12:52.000 Instead, here's what ends up happening.

00:12:54.000 They all end up lying, saying mayoflation, mocking the restaurant, and it turns into something much more terrifying.

00:13:01.000 When people start going to their Yelp and saying things like, one star review, way too much mayonnaise, just mayo everywhere, or one star review, too much mayonnaise, used to love the place, but mayo is too much.

00:13:12.000 And so I'm told by the owner, At first they were like, oh, this is silly.

00:13:18.000 What's going on?

00:13:18.000 This is we're getting trolled or something.

00:13:20.000 And then he said that this morning, you know, it got so intense.

00:13:23.000 He starts getting scared.

00:13:24.000 He's all these reviews are coming in.

00:13:26.000 You know, it's something something is happening and he's scared about what's going to happen.

00:13:29.000 They're trying to make it seem like this guy, a regular guy who was not involved in politics, insulted Joe Biden and lied about his the prices to make him look bad.

00:13:39.000 And now these lunatics are actually trying to cause damage to this restaurant who is not political.

00:13:44.000 I have said it before and I will say it again. 0.74

00:13:46.000 If you think sitting down and hiding is going to get you out of whatever is going on, you are wrong.

00:13:52.000 And all that's going to happen is this will be life for everyone.

00:13:56.000 You'll be sitting in your little cafe and you're like, I just run a small business.

00:13:59.000 I have nothing to do with politics and I don't want to be involved.

00:14:02.000 And then one day Antifa will show up and throw a brick through your window because someone accused you of being racist.

00:14:06.000 We've seen stuff like that happen.

00:14:08.000 In Berkeley, the people have to put signs in all their windows.

00:14:11.000 I was in Berkeley for some protest event, and there was a nail salon with all of this leftist signage in the windows.

00:14:18.000 And I'm like, there's no way these working class women who are in there, immigrants, are that adamant about their activism. 1.00

00:14:26.000 And so I went to a bar.

00:14:28.000 And as I'm sitting at the bar, I'm eating a burger. 0.93

00:14:30.000 There was a big thing on the window that insulted Trump and said that he was some kind of turd or something.

00:14:35.000 And I asked the bartender, I was like, all right, what's, you know, everybody has these signs on the window, you know, yours is like, you know, more insult, more, more derogatory.

00:14:43.000 And she's like, yeah, you know, you have to do it.

00:14:44.000 And I was like, so you don't, do you agree with that message?

00:14:47.000 Like, are you guys like anti-Trump?

00:14:48.000 And she said, no, if you don't do it, they'll smash your windows.

00:14:52.000 That's what it's like living in the Bay Area.

00:14:54.000 There was a Burger King I saw.

00:14:56.000 This was back in, I think, 2015 or 2016.

00:14:59.000 A Burger King had a big sign in the window and it said, Please do not destroy our windows.

00:15:04.000 We are a family-owned restaurant franchise, not a corporate location.

00:15:08.000 That's what life is like when you let these people keep doing this stuff.

00:15:12.000 During the, I think it was the, was it the G20?

00:15:14.000 Or was it the G7?

00:15:15.000 I don't know.

00:15:16.000 It was in Hamburg.

00:15:17.000 They went around smashing up storefronts.

00:15:19.000 And there's this photo of all of these stores smashed up except for one.

00:15:24.000 And do you know why that one store wasn't smashed up?

00:15:26.000 It had the communist fist in the window.

00:15:29.000 This is an attack on a regular, regular, regular family guy.

00:15:33.000 This is this is the stuff that I've been saying they will keep doing and they and people want to act like I guess out of the 300 or so you know 320 million people in this country excluding the children so you got maybe 250 people how many of them you know are adults Yeah, maybe you'll be safe and you'll be lucky.

00:15:54.000 Maybe as you're in the crowd and the bear starts charging in, you're like, I can run faster than everybody else.

00:16:00.000 Maybe you'll be the one person, but man, you could stand up right now and tell these people to shut up, call out the media for lying and going after regular people who are not political, punching down as hard as they can, or you can sit back and let your children inherit this future.

00:16:16.000 So I tweeted about this the other day.

00:16:18.000 I said, um, I said something about Winston Churchill and his quote about feeding the alligator.

00:16:24.000 And I said, at this point, conservatism has become nothing but feeding the alligator.

00:16:27.000 Cause all we're doing is saying, I just want to be left alone.

00:16:30.000 Just let me do my own thing.

00:16:31.000 I just want to grill.

00:16:32.000 That's like the meme.

00:16:32.000 Right?

00:16:34.000 You can't do that anymore.

00:16:35.000 Like you don't have a choice.

00:16:36.000 And I also tweeted something inflammatory about how it is now your role to fight.

00:16:40.000 You don't get to have your white picket fence.

00:16:41.000 You don't get to necessarily have your American dream because It's being thwarted by the far left and this crazy people in the media, and your role right now is to figure out what you're going to do about it.

00:16:52.000 And I think until people figure that out, we're going to have a serious problem.

00:16:55.000 We can't just keep sitting back and taking it, but that's what conservatives do.

00:16:59.000 Why? 0.83

00:17:01.000 Yeah, well this story is more disgusting than a mayo sandwich, let me just put it that way.

00:17:06.000 I'm marinating in it and I'm listening to Tim, but what really jumps out to me is that the Democrats a long time ago lost any pretense that they care about the little man.

00:17:14.000 They are not up for the real victims in society, they're the victimizers in the society.

00:17:19.000 They obfuscate that with their grievance politics, their identitarian politics that they continually shuffle out, but they don't care about the folks getting shot in Chicago.

00:17:29.000 Anything that goes against their agenda or against their narrative, they either ignore it, downplay it, or attack people who draw attention to it.

00:17:35.000 And this poor guy in North Carolina who's just trying to put food on his family's table, just trying to run a small business, but is extremely difficult due to a lot of the policies and Democrat-run states, the lockdown policies.

00:17:47.000 Where are them championing the little guys, the small business owners.

00:17:52.000 Jeff Bezos and Amazon raking it in hand over fist this entire time. 0.66

00:17:57.000 They don't scrutinize how it's benefiting corporations and multi-billionaires.

00:18:02.000 They don't draw attention to it.

00:18:03.000 They're the forgotten man.

00:18:05.000 This guy in North Carolina, he's the forgotten man in society.

00:18:08.000 He's just one example of countless that you can draw attention to of just grabbing what looks to be a ludicrous headline, And their lack of compassion and lack of sympathy for these small business owners, who's obviously struggling, is illustrated by the fact that they're not sympathetic with him.

00:18:26.000 It's like, oh, it must be very difficult.

00:18:28.000 Not only is it Democrat policies and Joe Biden's administration that are responsible for the inflation, but the people who voted him are gloating and mocking you and laughing as you struggle through the muck.

00:18:40.000 They're the ones who threw the sewage on the floor and they're laughing as you slip in it.

00:18:44.000 Now let me explain, because there may be a lot of people saying, it's not, it was inflation, not Joe Biden.

00:18:48.000 Extended unemployment benefits.

00:18:50.000 People are getting 16 bucks an hour not to work.

00:18:52.000 We've already heard from many experts that this is a push factor, and so a lot of people don't want jobs.

00:18:59.000 And the response we get from many of the Democrat establishment activists is, yeah, well, people shouldn't work these crappy jobs anyway, and they should pay better.

00:19:06.000 So it's an acknowledgement, we know.

00:19:08.000 So long as you give people the benefits, if they don't have to work, they won't.

00:19:11.000 You've got the eviction moratorium.

00:19:13.000 People aren't paying rent.

00:19:15.000 Some people are, a lot of people are paying rent, but some people aren't.

00:19:18.000 This means that there is now a bottleneck where retirees and mom-and-pop landlords, people who own one building and rent out their basement, can't make ends meet.

00:19:27.000 This ripples across the board.

00:19:29.000 You've also got just you've got the gas shortage caused by a worker shortage caused by those factors, which causes all prices to go up.

00:19:37.000 So inflation across the board is on the rise.

00:19:39.000 So long as Joe Biden wants to enact a legal eviction moratorium, so long as he wants to extend these benefits.

00:19:46.000 And it's not just him.

00:19:47.000 It's the administration, the Democrats.

00:19:48.000 And so long as he wants to shut down a gas pipeline, which causes speculators to buy more.

00:19:52.000 I'm not a fan of speculators, by the way.

00:19:54.000 Causes them to buy more, driving up prices.

00:19:56.000 And then shut down fracking on federal land, which causes speculators to predict short supply, which increases speculation and causes price to go up for gasoline.

00:20:04.000 These are factors caused by Joe Biden directly.

00:20:07.000 His policies, his administration, and Democrats.

00:20:10.000 I am no fan of the Republican Party. 1.00

00:20:12.000 I think they're trash. 0.99

00:20:13.000 Most Americans actually have a worse view of Republicans than Democrats, but the Democrats are the ones who are doing this right now. 0.99

00:20:19.000 So I tell you this.

00:20:21.000 I feel bad for this restaurant.

00:20:23.000 I'm also kind of frustrated with people like this, these restaurants.

00:20:28.000 I can't expect him to have known what was going on, but if you think that you can sit back and ignore the world around you And then you will be safe when the fires or the storm comes.

00:20:39.000 I'm sorry, that's just not true.

00:20:40.000 All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

00:20:44.000 And so you have, I talked to the guy, I talked to two of the people at the restaurant, got a comment.

00:20:49.000 And, you know, their sentiment was, we don't want to be involved in politics. 0.94

00:20:52.000 I think both sides are bad, both parties suck, and both sides are doing it.

00:20:57.000 And I said, I told him, The right, the anti-establishment types, these aren't the people who are attacking your restaurant right now because you expressed a fact about your prices. 0.98

00:21:07.000 So if regular people don't wake up to these extremists, by all means, the alt-right, they've been gone for three years.

00:21:14.000 Nobody likes them.

00:21:15.000 I get it.

00:21:16.000 Now we have a cult-like authoritarian left that is going to attack anybody who says a fact that goes against their narrative.

00:21:24.000 Or for no reason at all, as we saw with the Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots all last year.

00:21:29.000 They attacked other black small business owners directly, burned them to the ground, bashed their windows.

00:21:34.000 And I really liked what you said about hanging signs in your door just kind of as kind of a totem or a sign.

00:21:39.000 When I go to this lily white neighborhoods in Westchester County, I see Black Lives Matter sign everywhere.

00:21:45.000 I don't think it's because they sincerely believe in this neo-Marxist organization.

00:21:49.000 I think it's a totem.

00:21:50.000 It's like a Jewish Passover where you put the blood on your door and you want people to leave you alone. 0.94

00:21:55.000 I did a little social experiment.

00:21:57.000 They had a church right next to a school and they had all these Black Lives Matter signs and all of their little punch phrases like, love is love, etc, etc.

00:22:05.000 You know, typical Maoist type brainwashing sort of things that they put on the sign.

00:22:09.000 I took a sign, I ordered it myself, and I put, I believe in racial equality, I believe in freedom of speech, I believe in, and I listed all of these different freedoms on there that I, you know, just from the Constitution, and put it out there, you know, basically to provide some kind of contrast, and I just put it right in the middle of the signs and just waited.

00:22:28.000 And I took a picture and I came, came back guess what they had taken a sign and they got rid of it because they are not for equality they're for equity and that means the government controlling all social relations uh in this country and so no you're not going to be safe the the covid passports all of this stuff they are we're not used to this sort of in-your-face intrusion but it's going to get worse because as you can see uh

00:22:54.000 You know, nobody is safe.

00:22:55.000 It's going to be like the social credit score in China that you were talking about.

00:22:58.000 Oh yeah, yeah.

00:22:59.000 So we got this story from kron4.

00:23:02.000 San Francisco mandates proof of full COVID vaccine at indoor venues.

00:23:06.000 I love this title, indoor venues, because it's not the truth.

00:23:10.000 They actually explain in the article it's not indoor venues.

00:23:13.000 What's a venue?

00:23:14.000 A venue is a forum.

00:23:16.000 It's like a public forum.

00:23:17.000 When you say venue, you're thinking like a bar or a theater or a concert.

00:23:21.000 You're not thinking cafe.

00:23:23.000 Unless the cafe is a small stage, I guess.

00:23:25.000 But they actually go on to say that it is more than just venues.

00:23:30.000 It's restaurants, cafes, bars, gyms.

00:23:33.000 Mayor London Breed announced Thursday during a press conference.

00:23:37.000 I don't think the vaccine passport ultimately is going to be the end result, whether it's intentional or not.

00:23:43.000 It's going to be that you will have to show your papers wherever you go.

00:23:47.000 It's funny that this is literally showing your papers.

00:23:50.000 And we have...

00:23:52.000 A historical look at the fascist regimes, the Nazis, and why showing your papers was frowned upon.

00:23:58.000 The idea that you couldn't move about and freely associate without some kind of idea.

00:24:02.000 And now you have... What's the meme?

00:24:05.000 The punch-a-Nazi people had a really quick 180 and to show us your papers or something like that?

00:24:12.000 Or an alarming number of punch-a-Nazi people are now saying show us your papers.

00:24:16.000 This is it.

00:24:17.000 And they'll start with something like this.

00:24:20.000 But it's just about keeping people safe with the vaccines.

00:24:23.000 That's my issue with this, that it's all based on a false premise.

00:24:27.000 The CDC director, Rochelle Walensky, admitted it about two weeks ago.

00:24:33.000 She admitted that the vaccines, so-called, do not prevent transmission of the Delta variant, for example.

00:24:39.000 And right now we're seeing a spike in the Delta variant.

00:24:42.000 But the mortality rates are low and hospitalizations are being misrepresented.

00:24:45.000 But still, it's so low.

00:24:47.000 The specific issue there is they're saying the vaccine will reduce your likelihood to get it.

00:24:53.000 But the CDC also says viral load in those breakthrough cases are the same as those who are unvaccinated.

00:24:58.000 The bigger problem, I suppose, is animal repositories.

00:25:01.000 Yes, of course.

00:25:02.000 Reservoirs, yeah.

00:25:03.000 We've seen all the stories about dogs and cats getting COVID, and if that's the case, and it can transfer back, I'm not gonna pretend to be a doctor, because I don't know, then that would be alarming, and we're not vaccinating our pets.

00:25:03.000 Right, reservoirs.

00:25:16.000 So ultimately, I'll say this, and I always do, I don't give medical advice.

00:25:19.000 I'm not here to discourage or encourage anybody.

00:25:20.000 You talk to a doctor, make sure you do what's right by you.

00:25:22.000 There was a story the other day about this nurse in Germany who swapped out people's vaccines for saline, and that to me is a violation of informed consent and psychotic.

00:25:31.000 If an elderly person wants to get medication, their doctor recommends it, no one should be doing that. 0.98

00:25:36.000 That's crazy.

00:25:37.000 But my bigger issue is, hey men, if you go to your doctor and your doctor says, here's the medicine I prescribed to you, I go to the doctor. 0.81

00:25:43.000 The doctor says, okay, I shouldn't have to go to get tested for something or then go to a venue and show them my medical ID because it's going to go beyond that.

00:25:54.000 This right now, it's how they get you.

00:25:55.000 They say, well, we want to stop the pandemic.

00:25:56.000 You got to get the app.

00:25:57.000 You got to get the Excelsior pass.

00:25:59.000 And in a year, I tell you, it's going to be something else.

00:26:02.000 It's going to be, oh, you said naughty words.

00:26:05.000 It's going to be total social credit.

00:26:07.000 It was funny, I tweeted this.

00:26:08.000 I tweeted, social credit scores are next.

00:26:10.000 And some establishment lefties are like, you watch too much TV.

00:26:14.000 I thought it was funny.

00:26:14.000 And I was like, yeah, maybe, because I watched a documentary from the German outlet DW, and

00:26:20.000 they interviewed some Chinese individuals working on the social credit stuff, talking

00:26:24.000 about how amazing it was, and how crime has gone down, and it's so amazing now that people

00:26:29.000 are recognizing that you can't just do these things like, oh yeah, putting people in rigid

00:26:34.000 boxes.

00:26:35.000 The biggest problem I have with it?

00:26:36.000 Centralized authority doesn't work.

00:26:38.000 It spins out of control, dissent emerges rapidly, and because of the centralized control and people being pressed down, there's no pressure release for the people.

00:26:48.000 There's no protest, there's no moment of being left alone.

00:26:54.000 And that's one of the things I said a year or so ago, two years ago maybe.

00:26:57.000 I said, they will never leave you alone.

00:26:59.000 If you think keeping your head down is going to keep you out of this political conflict, you are wrong.

00:27:04.000 And the best thing you can do now is speak up before it's too late.

00:27:07.000 Unfortunately, people don't care.

00:27:10.000 It's a sad, it's a sad tale, man.

00:27:12.000 We have how many stories from the past about totalitarians, authoritarians, and why you must speak up.

00:27:18.000 But I didn't speak up because I wasn't X or I wasn't Y. And I don't want to lose my job because, you know, I have kids.

00:27:25.000 I said this over the past couple of years.

00:27:28.000 Speak up at your job when they do the critical race applied principle stuff.

00:27:32.000 Stand up against it.

00:27:32.000 Speak up against it.

00:27:33.000 And people say, but I'll get fired.

00:27:35.000 Think about the future for your kids.

00:27:37.000 And they say, well, you know.

00:27:39.000 Okay, well, now you're at the point where your job is mandating either masks or vaccines, and we get people commenting being like, what do I do?

00:27:45.000 And I'm like, you could have stood up last year, you know, and pushed back against the authoritarian, you know, takeover.

00:27:50.000 But for now, I would just recommend first going to your doctor and making a decision on your own health.

00:27:56.000 And then if you if you can't work at this place, whatever reason, leave the job.

00:28:00.000 Yeah, and I think what we're seeing right now is that a bunch of the elitists who are at the forefront pushing a lot of these collectivist policies are in a sort of cocoon of political correctness.

00:28:11.000 They are taking the path of least resistance.

00:28:13.000 They're not used to people pushing back.

00:28:15.000 They're not used to people, and you don't even have to do it to push back in a sort of angry, mean way.

00:28:20.000 Any kind of objection to them, especially if you show your human side and really put pressure on them, can be effective.

00:28:26.000 And I've seen this firsthand in the school district that I live in.

00:28:30.000 They did a critical race theory thing under the guise of so-called Unity Day.

00:28:35.000 The superintendent, after I had shown a spotlight on it, was effectively begging me to go and meet them in person because they weren't surprised at all that the angry parents were responding.

00:28:44.000 So I went and I talked with them and politely explained why parents were so angry and gave them some options.

00:28:51.000 And I think that, you know, this kind of where you look at sort of the middle managers in this system of all of these groups that sort of are kind of at the front, they're not used to people being angry.

00:29:04.000 They're used to social pressure.

00:29:07.000 That's basically how they became a leftist to begin with, is because of peer pressure, going with the flow.

00:29:13.000 They need to understand that there is no flow anymore.

00:29:17.000 There is no, you know, just go along to get along sort of thing where you can run in this little suburban mom group and everybody's going to agree with you.

00:29:25.000 You have to make sure that you understand they need to see you as a person.

00:29:28.000 You need to look them in the eye and so that you don't agree with them and you need to You know, just show them that they're hurting people with these policies, and that they're causing real damage to this country, and they're people who are suffering, and that, you know, they may believe they have good intentions, but nobody ever really explains to them the human cost, like we saw with the North Carolina restaurant owner.

00:29:50.000 There's a face to these people who they're hurting.

00:29:52.000 There is a flow that people can go with, and it leads to a waterfall.

00:29:56.000 Yep.

00:29:57.000 So the people who are sitting back being like, hey man, look, I'm not gonna fight the current, eventually they just go, well, Well, you could have turned around, you could have paddled against it, you could have grabbed a tree branch, you've done something.

00:30:07.000 But people just said, I don't want to rock the boat, you know, the captain seems to know what he's doing, and the cliff is right there.

00:30:14.000 That's what it feels like to me.

00:30:16.000 The people who are running this stuff, in these councils, in these city board meetings, they have no idea what they're doing.

00:30:23.000 They have no idea what's going on.

00:30:24.000 They don't know what is or isn't because the rules keep changing.

00:30:28.000 And then you have people sitting there being like, well, you know, they'll do it, I guess.

00:30:31.000 Nah, people gotta wake up and be responsible for their own lives, man.

00:30:34.000 There's a substantive lack of personal responsibility among a lot of Americans these days.

00:30:41.000 Yeah, and I just I think that right now what we're seeing with this sort of information landscape that we're all we're all kind of immersed in and that you know we're in independent media or alternative media and they're trying to change the landscape to take away our opportunities to reach these people and to organize them and you know I've been Trying to organize people to have political pushback since the Tea Party movement in 2010.

00:31:04.000 You know, these sort of organic grassroots sort of organization that we need to do, that can be successful and it can work, but you have to get out and you have to You know, make sure that you're very visible.

00:31:20.000 I mean, in New York, they recently had a protest against the COVID mandates and the passports and they made a real show of force.

00:31:29.000 But it's just glaring how that's not really the case in this country.

00:31:34.000 It's kind of surprising to me.

00:31:36.000 It's kind of a letdown that we're not really getting out in force.

00:31:39.000 So I just want to encourage people to really start using those networks that they built up over the years and start You know, don't be afraid to go out and organize and to do things.

00:31:50.000 The worst thing they can do is is try to force you to get home.

00:31:53.000 And if you do or force you to go home or disperse for not having an ordinance or having a petition, then get it on video.

00:32:02.000 Send it to influencers.

00:32:03.000 Make it known that there is real authoritarianism behind these policies and make them make people understand that these are authoritarians.

00:32:10.000 They can't hide behind I think there's going to be a big wake-up call for a lot of people now with the mandates.

00:32:16.000 NBC News ran this article saying that vaccine mandates will hurt corporations that are trying to hire, because a lot of people are going to be like, wait, what?

00:32:22.000 I have to do what?

00:32:23.000 You know, we talk about this restaurant, this guy who's not political, he doesn't know what's going on.

00:32:26.000 He's like, I don't want to be involved, right?

00:32:28.000 How many people were ignoring all of this being like, well, we don't go outside, we wear a mask, okay, whatever.

00:32:34.000 You had, who was it, Bill Burr, the comedian, where he was like, I turn on the TV every two weeks and then, you know, they tell me to wear a mask, I'll wear it, whatever.

00:32:41.000 You had Ethan Klein from H3 saying, you just go to the CDC and they tell you what to do, you don't even gotta think about it.

00:32:46.000 These are the people who are gonna wake up one day when they go to work and they're gonna be like, oh, did you get your vaccine?

00:32:51.000 And they're gonna be like, wait, for my what?

00:32:54.000 Do you have to do that?

00:32:55.000 Yeah, otherwise you're fired.

00:32:56.000 And they're gonna be like, Hold on a minute.

00:32:58.000 Because there's a big line between wearing a mask and getting something injected into you.

00:33:02.000 Again, you know, you go to your doctor.

00:33:04.000 The problem is, some people might have... Okay, and I looked up the pronunciation.

00:33:09.000 Guillain-Barré?

00:33:11.000 Guillain-Barré?

00:33:12.000 No, it is not Guillain.

00:33:13.000 I looked it up and talked to a French guy.

00:33:16.000 I can't pronounce it.

00:33:16.000 Guillain-Barré?

00:33:17.000 Gilan Barre.

00:33:18.000 Oh, Barre.

00:33:19.000 Okay, cool.

00:33:20.000 Yeah, and, or you can, if you say it fast, Gilan Barre Syndrome.

00:33:23.000 All right.

00:33:24.000 And, because it's named after two guys, and that was their name.

00:33:26.000 And, because people keep telling me different pronunciations for it, so I finally, like,

00:33:30.000 just watched a video talking about the scientists, and I'm like, argh!

00:33:34.000 Anyway, if you have an underlying health condition and your doctor recommends against it, people

00:33:38.000 are going to wake up hard to, like, wait a minute, hold on a minute.

00:33:41.000 There was this band playing a show in Florida where they said it's $1,000 a ticket, but it's only $18 if you can prove you've been vaccinated.

00:33:50.000 And so this one woman gave an interview where she was like, my doctor recommended against the vaccine and now I can't go to the show.

00:33:54.000 But rich people can.

00:33:56.000 That's going to be the thing that kind of pulls people into what's going on.

00:33:59.000 Like, all of a sudden now, you've got people who are going to go to work one day and they're going to be like, you can't come back until you go to your doctor and talk to them.

00:34:06.000 They're going to be like, really?

00:34:08.000 And now people are going to be forced to ask questions and engage.

00:34:11.000 Well, I saw just this week there was an Ohio judge that sent a man who had possession of fentanyl.

00:34:17.000 And he was up in front of the judge and he violated his probation.

00:34:20.000 And one of the terms of the probation that he would be forced to take the vaccine.

00:34:25.000 And one of the things that was interesting about that is the judge admitted, I'm not a doctor.

00:34:29.000 And he supposedly just referred to the CDC's order and that he had to wear a mask and all of this stuff.

00:34:34.000 The CDC is de facto acting as some extra legal actor in our, you know, in our policy process.

00:34:43.000 But they are just ultimately bureaucrats.

00:34:44.000 And not only can they be wrong, they have been wrong.

00:34:48.000 Multiple times, whether it's surface contaminants or viral load after getting the vaccine and transmission.

00:34:55.000 It just goes on and on.

00:34:57.000 Fauci recognizes that.

00:34:58.000 You know, he says the science changed.

00:34:59.000 The science doesn't change.

00:35:00.000 Your understanding of the science changed because you were not making it according to the empirical evidence that is right in front of you.

00:35:07.000 I think the science changes.

00:35:08.000 The problem is in an emergency situation, they're making recommendations off of incomplete information.

00:35:14.000 So they're like, here's what we noticed.

00:35:15.000 So Fauci said this.

00:35:16.000 This is actually what Fauci said, that at first they said, don't wear masks.

00:35:20.000 Then they found out asymptomatic people were spreading it and said, OK, now wear masks. 1.00

00:35:23.000 So they were still in the process of trying to figure out what's going on.

00:35:25.000 And then they said it was aerosolized and instead of just.

00:35:29.000 And so, you know, and so a mask is not going to have any effect short of an N95 potentially that in a I'll tell you the issue I have with the establishment, with YouTube on this one is, celebrities can come out and tell you, go and do it.

00:35:46.000 You can't come out and say, don't, right?

00:35:49.000 And the argument is, well, the CDC is advising for these things, right, right, right.

00:35:52.000 Well, hold on.

00:35:53.000 I think I shouldn't recommend anything at all.

00:35:57.000 I think you should talk to a medical professional.

00:35:59.000 You know, somebody who actually knows.

00:36:00.000 I don't want to get sued if I give someone medical advice that's bad.

00:36:02.000 I don't want to get sued if I give financial advice that's bad.

00:36:04.000 I don't think celebrities are in a place to decide what someone should be doing with their health because they may have, like Pete Parata, formerly of The Offspring, Guillain-Barre syndrome, probably, however you pronounce it.

00:36:15.000 And so anyway, what ends up happening is you see all these celebrities telling people to do something.

00:36:20.000 I think because of that blind zealotry, vaccine zealotry, you'll end up with more reports in the VAERS system, people who are adversely impacted, because they should have gone to a doctor and then said to them, like, oh, I have this, that, or otherwise.

00:36:32.000 The doctor might've been like, oh, okay, for that reason, I say no.

00:36:35.000 So there's probably a small percentage of people, I do think the vaccines are overwhelmingly safe, I think it's fine, but I ultimately think I'm not gonna tell an individual to ignore their doctor, like a celebrity would.

00:36:46.000 That to me is a problem.

00:36:48.000 If you want to tell someone to go to their... I even had establishment Democrat types attacking me as anti-vax for saying, please go to your doctor.

00:36:56.000 I was on Twitter and I was like, celebrities should not be encouraging people.

00:36:59.000 They should be encouraging them to go to their doctor.

00:37:00.000 And people were like, you're an anti-vaxxer.

00:37:01.000 I'm like, what?

00:37:03.000 I really liked what Dr. Drew said the other day in this sort of a, you know,

00:37:06.000 mini viral rant that he had about this, that, that when he was a doctor and he

00:37:10.000 was treating his patients, the CDC was like some kind of footnote that, you

00:37:14.000 know, you, okay.

00:37:15.000 Oh, the CDC is, she says that the WHO says that that's great.

00:37:19.000 It's like, goes in the file of things and you just don't pay attention to it

00:37:22.000 very much unless it's a headliner sort of thing of, you know, a drug problem or

00:37:26.000 something like this.

00:37:28.000 It wasn't the authority body that you took orders from.

00:37:33.000 No.

00:37:35.000 If you have a license to practice medicine, you treat people on an

00:37:38.000 individual patient basis and you know, all the statistics, you know, the health

00:37:42.000 factors, the risk factors you, and you know, I mean, you don't need the CDC to

00:37:48.000 You need them to publish them.

00:37:50.000 And sure, sure, there might be some guidance there, but it's kind of like in the healthful suggestions thing.

00:37:55.000 And a doctor can be go.

00:37:56.000 Thank you.

00:37:56.000 Thank you very much for your opinion.

00:37:58.000 But that's fine.

00:37:59.000 I've got it.

00:38:00.000 It's the authoritarian creep.

00:38:01.000 Right.

00:38:01.000 It was Trump.

00:38:02.000 Trump's a hypochondriac and he gave full power to the CDC and Fauci just completely elevated it all. 0.97

00:38:08.000 And I was like, it's a horrible global pandemic. 0.97

00:38:12.000 And then he gave it.

00:38:12.000 Trump definitely deserves some criticism for what you're saying.

00:38:16.000 He is a germaphobe I hear.

00:38:17.000 Oh yeah, absolutely.

00:38:18.000 The handshakes for a long time.

00:38:20.000 He didn't want to shake people's hands.

00:38:23.000 I was told that he only eats fast food because you can walk in, order it, and it's already pre-made.

00:38:29.000 And there's a concern about if he orders it to order, someone will do something to it.

00:38:33.000 Well, no wonder he got used to the ketchup that he puts on a steak.

00:38:35.000 I think that may be the only exception, but you could be right.

00:38:39.000 Well, I love the ketchup and steak story.

00:38:41.000 Do you remember this one?

00:38:41.000 Do you guys remember this one?

00:38:42.000 It's really, really good.

00:38:44.000 And I'm going to bring it back up because we haven't said in a long time.

00:38:47.000 It was a big report about Trump having this very fancy, like dry aged steak, well done with ketchup.

00:38:53.000 And the media insulted him and ridiculed him and said he was so uncouth and, oh, he doesn't even know how to eat steak. 1.00

00:38:59.000 Oh, this guy's ridiculous. 0.99

00:39:01.000 Meanwhile, working-class union guy in the Midwest was sitting there eating his well-done T-bone with ketchup going, that's how I like my steak. 0.99

00:39:09.000 See, when I was growing up, we had the garbage steaks from the local supermarket.

00:39:13.000 You don't cook those rare.

00:39:14.000 You gotta cook them through, because they're not good steaks.

00:39:17.000 And then you schlop ketchup on them.

00:39:18.000 So you do.

00:39:19.000 My dad would always be like, you know that's an insult, right?

00:39:22.000 It's like, I make my steaks good.

00:39:23.000 But we had good steaks when I was a kid.

00:39:25.000 We weren't always eating bad steaks.

00:39:26.000 But when we would, it's like, you cook it through.

00:39:29.000 Donald Trump does that.

00:39:30.000 It's relatable to working class people who can't afford the filet mignon.

00:39:33.000 To the rich people, they're laughing.

00:39:35.000 Medium rare, a little garlic and salt.

00:39:37.000 What's he doing?

00:39:38.000 What a nut.

00:39:40.000 Just shows you how the establishment hates the little guy.

00:39:42.000 Like the story we were leading off with.

00:39:44.000 But let's talk about the story.

00:39:46.000 You see the protests breaking out in Tennessee over the masks in schools?

00:39:51.000 All these parents showed up?

00:39:52.000 Yeah, I saw a clip of it this morning. 0.98

00:39:55.000 They're screaming, there's a special place in hell for you, we'll find you, we know where you live.

00:40:02.000 You know what's really crazy about this stuff? 0.98

00:40:02.000 Wow. 0.98

00:40:03.000 First, I'll say a couple things.

00:40:04.000 We have this story from CNN.

00:40:06.000 School mask debate in Tennessee grows heated as local board requires masks in elementary schools.

00:40:11.000 What's interesting is that Steve Bannon told us this.

00:40:13.000 He said, come August 15th, when parents see what these schools are doing to their kids, the moms are gonna come out and all hell will break loose. 1.00

00:40:20.000 Something to that effect, paraphrasing.

00:40:21.000 And it wasn't just critical race applied principles, it wasn't just the masses, all of these things.

00:40:26.000 And now it's August 12th and we're seeing parents screaming at these people.

00:40:30.000 So I think Steve was right about that.

00:40:32.000 I think it'll be interesting to see what happens in the next couple of weeks with schools coming back in full swing and parents being like, nah, none of this.

00:40:39.000 But the crazy thing about it is, These school boards that are voting to have mask mandates while there are a hundred or so parents outside screaming insults and, you know, we know where you live, veiled threats.

00:40:52.000 Why are they voting in favor of that?

00:40:55.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:40:56.000 These parents will have a long memory, too.

00:40:57.000 They are not going to let this go.

00:40:59.000 If they do something to harm their kids' mental health, like we saw that last year with the mask mandates and just the policies that they put in place in these schools.

00:41:09.000 Depression went way up.

00:41:10.000 Anxiety went up.

00:41:11.000 Suicide hotline calls went way up.

00:41:13.000 Suicide rates have crept up.

00:41:17.000 harming their kids to a lot of in a lot of parents opinions.

00:41:21.000 Not all some people think that it's protecting their kids, which is why we cannot have a shared reality right now,

00:41:26.000 So they are not they're not going to let this go to him.

00:41:26.000 apparently.

00:41:31.000 You know what? You know what? You know what? These people don't understand.

00:41:34.000 And I saw I'm thirty five.

00:41:37.000 Right. The day.

00:41:39.000 Time moves much more quickly as you get older, they say.

00:41:42.000 And it's mostly because things become routine.

00:41:45.000 At least, this is my view of it.

00:41:47.000 When I wake up and have breakfast, and same breakfast over and over again, I don't have a strong memory of the breakfast I had, because it's the same breakfast I had 100 times.

00:41:54.000 I'm older, a lot of my experiences are routine and forgettable.

00:41:58.000 But the first time you rode a train.

00:41:59.000 I remember the first time I rode a train.

00:42:01.000 I remember the first time I flew in a plane.

00:42:03.000 Because those were like things in my life I'd never done before.

00:42:06.000 When you're younger, you're 10 years old.

00:42:08.000 A day is a lot longer percentage-wise of your life.

00:42:12.000 So imagine a year of not being able to go outside, go to the park, go play with your friends.

00:42:18.000 It's like putting these kids in solitary confinement.

00:42:20.000 I know a guy and his son committed suicide.

00:42:24.000 He was 12 because of the lockdown.

00:42:26.000 And then his dad came out and started doing advocacy saying, like, we can't do this to our kids, man.

00:42:30.000 You're an adult.

00:42:31.000 Maybe you don't mind sitting in your lounge chair and relaxing and working from home, but these kids are trying to experience life and it's being stripped away from them.

00:42:41.000 If you're 10, 10% of your life was in solitary, basically.

00:42:46.000 10%.

00:42:47.000 For me, 1 35th of my life was spent with the lockdown.

00:42:52.000 And I'm older and I'm working, running a company.

00:42:54.000 I've had the experience.

00:42:55.000 I've traveled the world.

00:42:56.000 I've hung out with my friends.

00:42:56.000 I've gone skateboarding.

00:42:57.000 And now I'm like working from home, building a business.

00:43:00.000 These kids, they want to go out.

00:43:01.000 They want to explore.

00:43:02.000 Well, I think the narrative needs to be switched on its head.

00:43:05.000 These children have a right to their childhood.

00:43:07.000 They have a right to see smiling people.

00:43:09.000 They have the right to live in a pleasant environment.

00:43:11.000 And we're talking about the formative years, so it is really beyond a doubt.

00:43:15.000 I was a psych department assistant.

00:43:19.000 I'm immersed in all of psychology and childhood development and so forth.

00:43:24.000 You are stunning their psychosocial development.

00:43:26.000 It's really not even debatable.

00:43:28.000 It's just a fact.

00:43:29.000 If you take away the right to read, the ability of children to read emotions or to feel comfort and to see smiling faces and reassurance, you are basically, it's kind of like that old video, The Wall from Pink Floyd, you know?

00:43:44.000 You're just creating like this factory of faceless you know, anonymous, just sort of, you know, you're dehumanizing

00:43:52.000 them, you're alienating them, you're atomizing them. And this for me, it strikes me as a

00:43:58.000 political program.

00:43:59.000 It's not, it's the children are not in, from what I've seen, the research, Wall Street Journal,

00:44:03.000 you can go just look at it. They're not appreciably at risk for this. Thank God. It's

00:44:08.000 one of the small miracles that we can point to during this pandemic. And we're not taking

00:44:12.000 advantage of it. It used to be in society where adults were wanted to be on the front lines.

00:44:17.000 They wanted to bear the brunt of things. They wanted to protect their children at all costs.

00:44:22.000 And now we're seeing from what I perceive as a lot of anxiety and hysteria and selfishness

00:44:28.000 on the point of parents who just refuse to protect their children, their childhood. I mean,

00:44:33.000 they're project, they're so selfish and narcissistic. They're projecting their own 0.98

00:44:38.000 anxiety onto their own child.

00:44:40.000 And for me, that just shows a lack of empathy and the ability to put yourself in another person's shoes.

00:44:45.000 It's a real social scourge right now.

00:44:48.000 I posted simply an image from Statista of COVID deaths by age group.

00:44:54.000 Right.

00:44:54.000 I said nothing.

00:44:55.000 Made no comment.

00:44:56.000 Screenshot post.

00:44:58.000 Some establishment type, Democrat activist.

00:45:02.000 Took the screengrab, circled the elderly and then said, Tim Pool doesn't care that these people are going to die.

00:45:09.000 And I'm like, I literally said nothing.

00:45:11.000 I literally had no comment on the data other than I just posted the data like, here's some information for you.

00:45:16.000 It shows you the weakness that they're concerned about.

00:45:21.000 The largest group at risk are people who are over 65.

00:45:24.000 There is a decent risk for people over 40, and the risk diminishes for people who are under 40.

00:45:29.000 I believe it's like 1.63% of deaths were under 40.

00:45:33.000 And 30%, according to the CDC, of people hospitalized were obese.

00:45:33.000 Close, yeah.

00:45:38.000 It was much more than that.

00:45:39.000 I read when it was 78% that CDC said they had obesity.

00:45:43.000 But that is one study.

00:45:44.000 It probably varies.

00:45:47.000 CDC website said 30.2% of hospitalizations since the start of the pandemic was obesity.

00:45:54.000 94% comorbidities.

00:45:55.000 So I think understanding all the context, having that information when you go to your doctor and talk to them about what makes sense for you, and being healthy.

00:46:03.000 Take care of yourself.

00:46:05.000 Eat right.

00:46:05.000 Be right.

00:46:06.000 Be well.

00:46:07.000 All that good stuff.

00:46:08.000 94% of the people hospitalized by COVID have had comorbidities.

00:46:11.000 That's right.

00:46:11.000 Of deaths.

00:46:12.000 CDC says that.

00:46:14.000 So in other words, 1.6% average of people with cardiopulmonary diseases, lung disease, diabetes, etc.

00:46:21.000 Age is a morbidity.

00:46:22.000 So it's older people. 0.93

00:46:25.000 Yeah, so there are plausible causes of death, and they happen to test positive for COVID as well.

00:46:30.000 So they're not trying to do a diagnosis of a cause of death necessarily, but they're saying... I will stress too, a lot of people think that the 94% comorbidity means they didn't die from COVID.

00:46:42.000 That's not true.

00:46:43.000 Right.

00:46:43.000 The way to describe it is like, imagine you have a bridge that's been old and dilapidated, and then someone jumps up and down on it.

00:46:49.000 Like the COVID is the jumping up and down.

00:46:51.000 Like, well, yeah, if you didn't do that, the bridge probably would have been fine.

00:46:53.000 So you get something like COVID.

00:46:56.000 And look, we've had a lot of people on this show, conservatives, who have either been vaccinated or have gotten COVID.

00:47:01.000 And it sounds bad.

00:47:03.000 Yeah, we've talked to some people on the show.

00:47:07.000 I don't want to out the people who have experienced bad sicknesses, but we've had people who are like, dude, it was miserable.

00:47:13.000 Like two weeks of fatigue?

00:47:14.000 Yeah.

00:47:15.000 You get that with the shots too, though.

00:47:17.000 I mean, I had the Moderna round, a couple of those, and yeah, it wiped me for a couple of weeks.

00:47:23.000 But the thing for this, that we want to introduce it to all of our troops.

00:47:27.000 For me, that is too risky.

00:47:30.000 These are young, athletic, You know, physically fit people who are not necessarily at risk that much.

00:47:38.000 It's very similar to seasonal flu, if you look at the statistics for that particular age group, 20 to 30.

00:47:44.000 And I think it's very... I think you wait until all of the results come in to make that decision.

00:47:50.000 So I think they should be very careful about that.

00:47:52.000 I'm a little concerned.

00:47:53.000 I definitely agree with being careful.

00:47:54.000 I definitely think the challenge here is I hope that they go on an individual basis.

00:47:58.000 That's always the important thing because of potential underlying conditions.

00:48:01.000 But at the same time, I mean, if we've got people that have to go into conflict and deploy and go into areas, it would be nightmarish if there was an outbreak of COVID.

00:48:11.000 Of any illness, really.

00:48:13.000 My understanding was that, you know, people who, when they go through BASIC, they get a bunch of vaccines anyway.

00:48:16.000 Absolutely, yeah.

00:48:17.000 So, I agree.

00:48:18.000 I think we gotta be really careful right now, simply because we need FDA approval, for sure.

00:48:23.000 We need to make sure we're doing right by all of the science, and with Fauci saying the science changes as we learn more, it's like, okay, well, let's make sure, if it's our military, we're gonna be extra careful to make sure that we have the capability to defend ourselves and our allies.

00:48:38.000 I'm just wondering if the vaccine could harm even metabolism or you know to have some sort of lingering effects.

00:48:47.000 It is possible that it could cause some sort of reaction and I mean because you're intentionally stimulating the immune system to have a response against an antigen.

00:48:56.000 That's tricky.

00:48:57.000 That is true, but... This is something that Charlie Kirk brought up when we were on the debate with Vosh.

00:49:01.000 He mentioned Guillain-Barre syndrome.

00:49:04.000 He said that CDC has put out a nerve damage warning for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

00:49:10.000 That side effect actually is for many other vaccines as well.

00:49:14.000 So, you know, I went to the CDC a few years ago.

00:49:17.000 Uh, this was during, I think, Zika.

00:49:19.000 And I did an interview, because we were, you know, we were just trying to find some, like, interesting stories, and it was around the time The Division came out.

00:49:27.000 You ever play that game?

00:49:28.000 I didn't play The Division.

00:49:29.000 Awesome game, by the way.

00:49:30.000 And it's basically, like, the world is a post-pandemic apocalyptic scenario.

00:49:35.000 And so I was like, let's go do an interview with the CDC and ask them about their, um... I forgot what it was called.

00:49:39.000 It was like Operation Something, where they simulated a large-scale pandemic.

00:49:42.000 And it was really interesting.

00:49:44.000 And what I was told there by some of the people at the CDC was, there are risks for vaccines and side effects.

00:49:49.000 They're well known.

00:49:50.000 They're on the CDC's website.

00:49:52.000 Make sure you read that stuff and talk to your doctor because you could be in that small percentage group.

00:49:56.000 They said the challenges for a lot of these diseases, if there's like, we're expecting to get 200,000 deaths from a disease, and the vaccine could result in 50,000 adverse reactions, we have to choose the least amount of damage, so we'll encourage people to get the vaccines.

00:50:11.000 And I understand that.

00:50:13.000 It is quite utilitarian, but I can't pretend to have the answers for people other than... But you see that with children, the mortality rate is lower than the incidence rate of reaction reported by VAERS.

00:50:25.000 But I mean, obviously, mortality is worst case outcome.

00:50:27.000 But pericarditis, myocarditis and so on is very serious.

00:50:31.000 So, I mean, obviously, we sit here, we second guess and we armchair a lot of these

00:50:36.000 health experts. But when you when you look at, you know, the problem

00:50:41.000 is and you see with any kind of information system, it reminds me of a kind of like a

00:50:44.000 Hayek versus Cain sort of argument.

00:50:47.000 When you have decentralized sort of, you know, decision makers, you know, we have doctors who can assess individual health risks and just have that patient-centric care that we're so used to in the United States where we have a consumer model of medicine provision.

00:51:06.000 You know, that has tended to serve the United States people very well.

00:51:10.000 We have superior cancer treatment.

00:51:14.000 We have some of the most advanced medical centers in the world.

00:51:19.000 But what we're seeing right now is a more socialized medicine approach where bureaucrats who are treating everyone in American society as if they're a homogenous group and we're all likely to have serious reaction to COVID or the Delta variant, which is predominant in the United States right now and is much weaker and less deadly statistically.

00:51:42.000 It's treating us as if we're all at equal risk.

00:51:45.000 This is not the way the United States medicine has been practiced.

00:51:49.000 And we've always relied on our doctors to make the best judgments.

00:51:53.000 There's a few exceptions, you know, smallpox, for example, you know, led to, you know, mandates for vaccines.

00:51:59.000 So it isn't the first time it's ever happened in this country, by the way.

00:52:02.000 Um, but, but what we see with the with the vaccines, they just rolled out so fast with the warp speed.

00:52:09.000 And, you know, there's a lot of conflicting information.

00:52:12.000 We're in the information age now, and it's just we're getting pulled in different directions.

00:52:15.000 It's undermining trust for a lot of people.

00:52:17.000 And they're projecting their fear of the vaccine into their general distrust of the establishment, you know, the people who have problems with the election and the people who have a problem with the vaccine.

00:52:27.000 There's likely to be a very large overlap.

00:52:29.000 However, it isn't the largest reticent group in the United States demographically.

00:52:33.000 It's African-Americans followed by Hispanics, who, which Asians seem to be the most likely to go get the, you know, among educated, the largest PhDs.

00:52:42.000 Yeah, it's interesting.

00:52:43.000 Strange.

00:52:44.000 I ultimately think there's a bit a lot of people because I always say talk to your doctor and then I get the typical response from people is like doctor my doctor doesn't know anything or otherwise and I'm like you have a bad doctor you know I mean like man I've been prescribed stuff in the past I don't even know what it is you know what when you when I got like I injured my knee they gave me some kind of steroid you get for like a tendon inflammation and damage or whatever I'm like I don't I don't know what this is.

00:53:07.000 Thanks doc, patch me up and send me on my way.

00:53:09.000 Doctor hands me a bunch of things, like here you go, take this stuff.

00:53:12.000 I don't know, prednisolone or something?

00:53:14.000 Prednisone, corticosteroid.

00:53:16.000 Yeah, so I had damaged the, what is it, meniscus?

00:53:21.000 Meniscus.

00:53:22.000 Meniscus at the knee?

00:53:23.000 Yeah, I fell from like a seven foot quarter pipe to the deck.

00:53:23.000 Yeah.

00:53:27.000 What were you trying to do?

00:53:29.000 I was just cruising.

00:53:30.000 I was trying to do a rock and roll just cruising around.

00:53:33.000 I hung up.

00:53:34.000 It happens, you know, when the front wheels hit it.

00:53:36.000 And I go to the doctor and he's like, here you go.

00:53:37.000 And he literally pulled out a bunch of these little packets and he's like, you're good.

00:53:39.000 That's enough.

00:53:40.000 And he was like, he gave me the prescription.

00:53:42.000 He gave me the regimen or whatever.

00:53:43.000 And I'm like, I don't know what it is.

00:53:44.000 I'm going to take it.

00:53:45.000 If you don't trust your doctor, you need to find a doctor you trust.

00:53:47.000 And the crazy thing about it is, yeah, people can be political.

00:53:51.000 You might go to a doctor and he's got like a Biden flag and he's waving it in front of you.

00:53:55.000 Then go find a guy who's got the Trump flag and ask him, oh, he's a doctor.

00:53:57.000 I don't know.

00:53:58.000 Find a doctor you trust.

00:53:59.000 But yeah, you're right.

00:54:00.000 I think this weird thing happened with, it's very tribalist where there's a big overlap between people who don't trust the establishment and also are skeptical of vaccines.

00:54:10.000 But isn't it interesting how it switched with the election?

00:54:13.000 So this is fascinating.

00:54:15.000 The polling data shows that Democrats felt the economy was bad, but right when Joe Biden got elected, they felt the economy was good.

00:54:22.000 Like, come on!

00:54:22.000 And of course we had Kamala Harris and other Democrats were throwing shade on the vaccine before the election.

00:54:28.000 And then when Joe Biden's election, oh, the vaccine's fine.

00:54:30.000 Everybody has to get it.

00:54:31.000 It's a weird... It's very weird.

00:54:32.000 It's a weird flip.

00:54:33.000 Yeah.

00:54:34.000 So I can understand, you know, people... Here's the only thing I can understand is I went and talked to my doctor and my doctor said X. Like, right on.

00:54:41.000 That's all.

00:54:41.000 Other than that, basing your view of your health off of political tribalism I think is really a bad idea.

00:54:49.000 Like, yo, go for a walk, man.

00:54:50.000 Turn Twitter off and get away from this.

00:54:52.000 Can we rub that a little bit to the election and sort of the controversy about the election?

00:54:56.000 What we're saying with the vaccine flip, where we saw we saw people, you know, Kamala Harris telling people like, you know, I wouldn't trust a vaccine from Trump, et cetera.

00:55:04.000 You know, I think, you know, when we see the controversy in the election, of course, we had Mike Lindell's cyber symposium, all this stuff going on.

00:55:10.000 The aftermath of it and people still distrust the elections.

00:55:10.000 It's still lingering.

00:55:14.000 Well, the thing that I find very interesting is and is that a lot of the objections of people right now who have problems with the 2020 election you if you go back.

00:55:23.000 And look at Nancy Pelosi. 0.66

00:55:25.000 You look at all the Democrats running up to the 2020 election.

00:55:29.000 They were nervous about the voting machine companies.

00:55:34.000 They were nervous about, you know, we had Kill Chain with HBO.

00:55:38.000 Yeah, the documentary.

00:55:39.000 Yeah, Harry Hirsty and all that.

00:55:40.000 You know, they were, you know, throwing... I mean, you go back early, like 2020, you know, on the House floor, they were debating all of these problems with our elections.

00:55:50.000 And the lack of security in the voting machines and so forth.

00:55:55.000 And, you know, the thing I find interesting is that I would just, you know, one of the things that I found just went viral during this whole period of like in November and December is I would just find clips of Democrats or just TV shows talking about how terrible our election security was.

00:56:10.000 And what really kind of opened my eyes is when Syza came out, said it was the most secure election in history.

00:56:16.000 And I knew that they could not have known that.

00:56:19.000 And they just had no time to it.

00:56:21.000 They had no time to investigate.

00:56:23.000 So it looked like a PR release.

00:56:24.000 So that really... How did you investigate the previous election?

00:56:27.000 That was a big red flag for me.

00:56:28.000 It's like, oh, size is saying it's already secure.

00:56:30.000 And they could not have investigated it that quickly. 0.93

00:56:33.000 And I'm not backing all of the conspiracy theories and stuff that float out there that proved to be false, like the German server thing that was just a stupid rumor. 0.82

00:56:39.000 Or now the China hacking thing. 0.77

00:56:40.000 Yeah, all of that stuff.

00:56:41.000 I've never... I mean, look, I've looked into it.

00:56:43.000 I mean, if there was something smoking gun there, I definitely would bring it to people's attention.

00:56:48.000 I don't see the smoking guns.

00:56:49.000 The closest thing that I've seen to a smoking gun is just the Fulton County video with the looks like some shady activity going there.

00:56:55.000 Which one?

00:56:57.000 The Fulton County video at State Farm Arena.

00:56:59.000 They took people out.

00:57:00.000 It looks like the election workers were doing ballots multiple times.

00:57:04.000 It looks that way.

00:57:05.000 But that's the closest thing to a smoking gun.

00:57:07.000 That's all I was trying to say.

00:57:09.000 I see those things and I'm like, that's an anomaly.

00:57:11.000 We should investigate.

00:57:12.000 But you can't say what it is.

00:57:13.000 But it's just one video they screwed up because it was the State Farm Arena video.

00:57:18.000 They didn't know that it was on surveillance and that was subpoenaed.

00:57:21.000 There were multiple places that were shut down after hours.

00:57:26.000 And then you had to have spikes.

00:57:29.000 Did they find those people actually did scan bales multiple times?

00:57:33.000 They they just found double counting.

00:57:35.000 They never really went after them.

00:57:36.000 And like Kemp and Raffensperger or whatever never went after them.

00:57:39.000 I mean, they complained about it on social media.

00:57:41.000 Raffensperger's like, oh, these these people are negligent.

00:57:44.000 You know, they're reckless in their duty.

00:57:46.000 And, you know, we've had enough.

00:57:47.000 Nobody was charged.

00:57:48.000 You know, so I think one of the issues is with with an election involving what was it like one hundred and seventy million people or whatever?

00:57:55.000 Yeah.

00:57:56.000 You got one hundred seventy million people.

00:57:58.000 There's going to be instances like that.

00:58:00.000 And you can't take one morsel and extrapolate it to a large, widespread claim or whatever.

00:58:06.000 True, but you're going down to these swing states.

00:58:09.000 And for me, the most substantial complaint about it was that the rules about the absentee balance and everything was changed extraordinarily and extra-judiciously.

00:58:19.000 Or extra-legally, let's put it that way.

00:58:22.000 Emergency powers were invoked in these different states in Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

00:58:28.000 And actually across the board.

00:58:30.000 Yeah.

00:58:30.000 Even in states Trump won, the rules were changed.

00:58:33.000 Yeah.

00:58:34.000 There were executive orders issued in some states.

00:58:38.000 Others did pass it through the legislature.

00:58:41.000 But I'm citing the ones that were brought forth in the Texas lawsuit that was just dismissed out of hand for lack of standing, even though they gave an indication that it wouldn't have held up anyway.

00:58:51.000 A hint that they were not partial to it.

00:58:54.000 So I'm just saying a lot of these lawsuits were dismissed on lack of standing.

00:58:57.000 It wasn't really investigated.

00:58:59.000 And that's really something that's been driving me is really to, I wonder about the role of private voting machine companies as this sort of opaque intermediary where they own the source code and the intellectual property.

00:59:14.000 They don't have to give you the passwords, apparently, as we see in Arizona.

00:59:18.000 They don't have to give them access.

00:59:20.000 So if they are tabulating our results, who is holding them accountable and how?

00:59:26.000 That's the real issue.

00:59:27.000 It's very odd to me that the left Doesn't seem to care about this corporate for-profit entity sitting in the middle of our democratic elections.

00:59:37.000 With proprietary source code.

00:59:40.000 With proprietary.

00:59:40.000 Right.

00:59:41.000 I mean, there's people who have suggested open source code elections, which could be a solution.

00:59:46.000 Don't get me wrong.

00:59:47.000 But I'm just saying, like, these for-profit entities and like Facebook funding these drop boxes in majority blue districts, according to analyses.

00:59:57.000 This is a sort of unusual corporate Intrusion into our democratic process that would normally be raising alarm bells on the left.

01:00:06.000 And before Trump lost, they were raising red flags.

01:00:09.000 And then they just stopped because... And I think, you know, right now I'm in favor of it.

01:00:14.000 I say, do the investigation, do the audit.

01:00:16.000 Let's see what they can produce at the symposium.

01:00:18.000 I don't think so.

01:00:18.000 Fine, whatever.

01:00:20.000 Here's what I think.

01:00:21.000 The real problem is that Time magazine article.

01:00:24.000 The shadow campaign to save the election.

01:00:27.000 It was the Republicans in Pennsylvania Drafting the legislation, passing the legislation for universal mail-in voting.

01:00:34.000 Things that change the rules dramatically.

01:00:36.000 What ends up happening now is the most fervent supporters of Donald Trump, who would be the champions on the front lines of fighting for voter integrity, are being distracted by conjecture, anomalies, Conspiracy, things that are very, very difficult, if not, in many ways, impossible to prove.

01:00:56.000 And if all that energy from Mike Lindell was a voter integrity symposium, and he said, and they went up on stage and said, in Pennsylvania, the Constitution says absentee ballots function this way, and they passed this.

01:01:09.000 That's not about, that's not, that's about persuasion, and that would dramatically alter and fortify the system, literally fortify the system.

01:01:17.000 Instead, they're making claims that China, you know, working with deep states and NASA, and then today you get this report from the Washington Times, not a leftist publication by the way, conservative Christian, that one of the security guys that Mike Lindell hired said the data he had was a turd and he was tasked with turning that turd into a diamond and the information does not substantiate claims about China hacking the election.

01:01:39.000 Right.

01:01:40.000 And what I'm seeing on the right to kind of just try to promote some healthy criticism on that side of the of the conversations, what just what you said, you should put this energy into voter integrity laws.

01:01:51.000 You should put it into trying to get your legislature to hold voting machine companies more accountable and to open up transparency in those regards.

01:01:58.000 Those are responsible, intelligent political processes that we can work together and possibly even persuade independence.

01:02:06.000 But instead, paranoia is stultifying.

01:02:09.000 It's self-defeating.

01:02:10.000 It's debilitating.

01:02:11.000 But some people are just addicted to it.

01:02:14.000 They want to grab onto paranoia because it feels like their country is falling apart.

01:02:20.000 Their worldview is being threatened in ways...

01:02:22.000 Well, the country, I think, is falling apart.

01:02:24.000 Yeah.

01:02:24.000 Oh, absolutely.

01:02:25.000 Our constitutional rights are definitely being eroded on almost a weekly basis.

01:02:29.000 It's almost, it's startling.

01:02:31.000 I mean, we had president Biden with his eviction decree, violating the third amendment.

01:02:36.000 You're very skilled.

01:02:38.000 Somehow Biden managed to violate the third amendment?

01:02:41.000 How does he do that?

01:02:42.000 Wow.

01:02:43.000 Wow, okay, congrats.

01:02:44.000 You get in the history book for that reason.

01:02:46.000 Yeah, that's incredible.

01:02:48.000 But just to go to your point, we definitely need to really concentrate, keep your eye on the ball.

01:02:54.000 I'm not trying to take anything away from Mike Lindell.

01:02:57.000 He believes in what he's doing.

01:02:58.000 He's being sued, he's under fire by Dominion.

01:03:01.000 He obviously is a true believer in what he's doing, and I give him credit for... I disagree.

01:03:05.000 Well, it seems to me that he's very fervent about his cause at the very least.

01:03:09.000 He tried to get the lawsuit dismissed.

01:03:11.000 Yeah, I know, and then it said that the First Amendment is not an umbrella protection for it.

01:03:16.000 He had initially said that he was happy to hear he was being sued because it would allow him to get to discovery, to pull the evidence faster.

01:03:22.000 Also, it would have given him a venue to prove, with a judge overseeing it, that his evidence was true and correct.

01:03:29.000 If he had the evidence to prove, why would he get the suit dismissed?

01:03:32.000 He'd be like, oh great, I can now show it to a judge, and the judge is going to be like, Wow, he was telling the truth.

01:03:38.000 Maybe the dollar signs were daunting, who knows, because it's like 1.3 billion dollars it's in.

01:03:42.000 But it seems to be their strategy.

01:03:43.000 But the truth is an affirmative defense.

01:03:44.000 That's true.

01:03:45.000 They're trying to scare people, you're right.

01:03:47.000 Look, if I said the sky is blue and someone sued me for defamation, I'd be like, I would love to come in and tell the judge, look at the sky.

01:03:53.000 Like, waste your money, by all means.

01:03:54.000 I don't even gotta do anything.

01:03:56.000 Instead, he said he was very happy, but then filed a motion to dismiss, which would obstruct discovery.

01:04:01.000 At the very least, he could have had discovery.

01:04:02.000 That, to me, saying one thing and doing another, mean, look, the guy makes great pillows.

01:04:07.000 I genuinely think they're good pillows.

01:04:08.000 I got the slippers, I got the towels.

01:04:11.000 It's because of Jack Posobiec, to be honest.

01:04:12.000 Like, he's like, you know, his tweets, I'm just like, I'm on Twitter and I'm like, towels.

01:04:16.000 And I was like, we literally, we did need towels.

01:04:18.000 We need guest towels. 0.52

01:04:19.000 And I'm like, and I see this tweet one day and I'm like, I was supposed to get towels last week and I didn't, so I bought them.

01:04:26.000 You put the code in, right?

01:04:28.000 You know what, I'll throw it to Steven Crowder.

01:04:30.000 Crowder said when he was doing his investigative work that he thinks someone gave Lindell bad information.

01:04:37.000 And I wonder if what happened was initially Lindell was a true believer, and then he started to be like, wait a minute, maybe this isn't as sound as I thought, so I gotta dismiss this lawsuit.

01:04:46.000 I don't know though.

01:04:47.000 I mean, why would he do the symposium?

01:04:48.000 I just, look, I think you were, you said it, you know, people like the paranoia.

01:04:52.000 It gives them a mission.

01:04:53.000 I wish all of these people, there was like 190,000 people watching the symposium or something like that.

01:04:58.000 Imagine if all of those people were watching a symposium on voter integrity.

01:05:01.000 Because you look what's happening now in Texas, right?

01:05:04.000 They pass all these emergency provisions to make it ridiculously easy to vote.

01:05:08.000 Okay, it should be easy to vote within reason, but not at the cost of security.

01:05:12.000 You know, you give up security, you weaken your elections, you can't get them back.

01:05:18.000 Instead, what's happening now is they served the arrest warrants for the Democrats because they fled the state.

01:05:25.000 They're saying, we did it, we passed the bill, yay!

01:05:27.000 The Republicans are acting like they won when they actually lost because their bill is a compromise.

01:05:32.000 The reform bills we're seeing from Republicans don't completely reverse, in many states, the pandemic provisions.

01:05:39.000 It curtails them only a little bit.

01:05:41.000 We saw this in Georgia, I think, when they were like, this voter suppression bill, and it was like, it actually still expands.

01:05:47.000 You can just put your driver's license number and send it in.

01:05:50.000 And that's new!

01:05:51.000 It wasn't that way before the pandemic.

01:05:52.000 So the Republicans are acting like they're fighting back, but they're actually going like, come in the back door.

01:05:56.000 Right.

01:05:57.000 And meanwhile, the people who should be standing up and screaming are distracted because someone's waving hash codes about China or something.

01:06:03.000 And it's really odd.

01:06:05.000 And if there is some mastermind presiding over this, I have to give him some credit because the Georgia Lot voter voter laws that you're talking about are weaker in some regards than like Delaware and Rhode Island and these other blue states.

01:06:20.000 And yet when Major League Baseball pulls their all star game out of the Atlanta area, everybody in, you know, the airlines issue these statements.

01:06:30.000 Everybody goes, well, they assume that it must have been a really legit Voter law that scared the left.

01:06:38.000 It scared the Democrats, and so they had to do these extreme measures.

01:06:42.000 So they moved to states that have war.

01:06:44.000 Right, right.

01:06:45.000 And then they moved it to Colorado.

01:06:46.000 And then it's just kind of like we assume, you know, and the sort of critics, sort of the voter law, the pandemic voter law critics, put it that way, sort of assume that this is a good law and it has merit.

01:06:59.000 No, it's not necessarily the case.

01:07:00.000 There's still a lot of loopholes.

01:07:02.000 Go into what you said.

01:07:03.000 Let's talk about freedom, man.

01:07:04.000 You see this thing with Arnold.

01:07:06.000 Yes.

01:07:07.000 Screw your freedom!

01:07:08.000 I shouldn't do that impersonation.

01:07:10.000 Arnold says, screw your freedom.

01:07:13.000 Do vaccine-hesitant Americans.

01:07:15.000 And that was it.

01:07:16.000 He was on CNN for some reason with Vindman, Army Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, for some reason.

01:07:22.000 The whistleblower, as he admits.

01:07:24.000 The general idea, I guess, from Mr. Arnold, the governator, is that with freedom comes responsibility.

01:07:32.000 And that in a pandemic, people should be responsible and recognize their responsibility.

01:07:36.000 You know what? 1.00

01:07:37.000 He's not wrong, he's just a dick. 1.00

01:07:39.000 Don't screw your freedom. 0.99

01:07:40.000 Freedom is one of the most important things.

01:07:41.000 Protecting the individual protects the system as a whole.

01:07:44.000 Decentralized systems work better.

01:07:45.000 That's why America's been so bountiful and successful and wealthy.

01:07:48.000 And that's why the Soviet Union no longer exists.

01:07:51.000 So no, don't screw your freedom, protect the freedom, and also recognize your responsibilities, but do it better.

01:07:56.000 In this instance, I think the issue is we're facing one of the most difficult challenges, and it's the threat of a pandemic from the authorities to try and gain, I don't know, somewhat ancillary political powers.

01:08:13.000 They're gaining so much by exploiting this crisis.

01:08:16.000 So the risk is, You know, during World War II, we had an Office of Censorship.

01:08:21.000 Loose lips sink ships. 1.00

01:08:23.000 That's crazy.

01:08:24.000 You know, we hate censorship.

01:08:26.000 But what would you do during World War II?

01:08:27.000 You never know.

01:08:27.000 If someone's listening, you might have some information.

01:08:29.000 Information wasn't traveling as fast.

01:08:31.000 So we do recognize our responsibility.

01:08:32.000 But I don't know.

01:08:33.000 What are your thoughts on this celebrity stuff?

01:08:35.000 Well, like I said to Arnold, I don't think he fundamentally understands what the issue here is, or he's misrepresenting it.

01:08:42.000 It's not about freedom.

01:08:43.000 You should always have the right to decide what goes into your body.

01:08:48.000 Whether whether a government authority figure says so or not, it's my body, my choice.

01:08:53.000 And that goes back to the point that I was suggesting is the vaccine is ultimately

01:08:56.000 works to prevent you from getting severe symptoms of it.

01:08:59.000 And Dr. Rochelle Walensky drew this out essentially a week and a half ago.

01:09:03.000 So it's there in black and white for anybody to go read what she said herself.

01:09:06.000 But the point the point remains that it is a decision to limit the risk of the

01:09:11.000 virus that it poses to me individually.

01:09:13.000 And so it's it's each person's life to live on their own.

01:09:17.000 And we should respect each person's autonomy.

01:09:21.000 It's not like people are going to be spreading the disease if they're asymptomatic and they haven't gotten the vaccine.

01:09:28.000 That is really such a far extreme outlier case that we are really trying to put some totalitarian system in place to prevent extreme outliers.

01:09:37.000 It seems to be like what we're doing.

01:09:39.000 Did they flip on asymptomatic spread?

01:09:42.000 It's very low, like it was something like 19-30% of the spread is pre-symptomatic and then I think asymptomatic was lower than that.

01:09:54.000 This is why I can't stand the celebrities.

01:09:56.000 This is one of the most damaging things you could do if you were actively trying to get people to get the vaccine.

01:10:01.000 The best thing you could do to protect individuals, to make sure we reduce the amount of adverse events that we see in VAERS, is to tell people, I trust you to make the right decision.

01:10:12.000 I trust you to talk to someone you trust.

01:10:15.000 You've got to give, you know what I mean?

01:10:17.000 When you come out and you bash someone over the head figuratively, like, do as I say, or else they say, I don't trust you.

01:10:22.000 When you say screw your freedom, you're like... You're turning it into a political paradigm at that point.

01:10:26.000 What you need to be doing is, if I was going to trust somebody who took the vaccine, and look, I decided to take the vaccine because I crunched the data.

01:10:33.000 I said states that have higher vaccination rates, it looks like they have less percentage of people who are getting severe symptoms.

01:10:41.000 It seems like it's working, so that persuaded me.

01:10:44.000 Like, I just did my own data analysis and ran the comparative research and I found that, okay, it holds up.

01:10:50.000 It washes. 0.95

01:10:51.000 So you look people in the eye and people who are hesitant or afraid to use the vaccine and I'm not telling anybody to use it or not use it.

01:10:57.000 Don't get me wrong.

01:10:59.000 But I would say you appeal to you like, you know, I don't want to see people get extremely sick with this virus.

01:11:04.000 I don't want to see your children lose a loved one over this.

01:11:08.000 And so if you're at risk, you should talk to your doctor about getting this because it could really save your life potentially.

01:11:14.000 If they would just leave it with that kind of Sincere pitch, then it would be more persuasive to people, but when you interject the politics in there and the mandates, and where we already have, what's the fully vaccinated rate is 60% plus, right?

01:11:29.000 Yeah, I think it's over 60.

01:11:29.000 In the US?

01:11:31.000 No, I think it's 50.

01:11:32.000 50.2 or something?

01:11:33.000 60% of adults, I believe.

01:11:35.000 Okay, more or less.

01:11:37.000 60% of adults, I believe, the last time I checked the data.

01:11:39.000 Australia was at 18.

01:11:40.000 Two years ago.

01:11:41.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:11:42.000 And so I just believe that, you know, it does help for adults who are especially over 40.

01:11:51.000 98.4% or so of the mortality is over 40 years old.

01:11:57.000 So I think that the statistics bear out that you should get it.

01:11:59.000 You should consider getting it at that rate.

01:12:03.000 The issue is freedom.

01:12:04.000 But they're not, yeah, but they turn into a freedom versus authority thing.

01:12:07.000 This is why the Arnold thing is such a problem.

01:12:09.000 Yes.

01:12:09.000 Because we're talking about vaccine passports.

01:12:11.000 We're talking about, you know, Libby Emmons, who was on the show recently, she tweeted that she doesn't believe children should have to wear masks, but her child will be wearing a mask because there's no options in New York City.

01:12:23.000 And I'm just like, leave New York City?

01:12:27.000 You know, like, Don't make your kid go... If you think it's wrong for your child, you make the choice.

01:12:32.000 So when he's saying screw your freedom...

01:12:32.000 It's about freedom.

01:12:35.000 I don't feel like he's actually talking about the vaccine, to be honest.

01:12:38.000 I think he's talking about the expansion of the surveillance state, the expansion of people demanding you show your papers, things I do not agree with.

01:12:47.000 I think there's a mix between individual responsibility and responsibility to the greater community, and we have to find a balance, and it's not in authoritarianism, making everybody adhere to a strict authority.

01:12:59.000 Now, people have to have some level of autonomy.

01:13:03.000 That's why I was saying, like, the Soviet Union, they lasted, what, 69 years? 0.77

01:13:07.000 Fell apart?

01:13:08.000 The United States, a couple hundred years, and the wealthiest, most powerful country, and all that good stuff?

01:13:12.000 It's because of decentralization.

01:13:13.000 It's because of liberty.

01:13:15.000 It's because people can challenge the status quo.

01:13:17.000 We're losing that.

01:13:18.000 I think there are times when you want to install authoritarian, you know, activity to preserve a nation, which we did with the polio vaccine, I think, or with the smallpox we brought up earlier.

01:13:29.000 Smallpox, however, does not exist in the animal population other than humans that we knew of.

01:13:33.000 So that was why we were able to vaccinate and wipe it out.

01:13:35.000 So it was an effective use of an authoritarian vaccine.

01:13:40.000 This virus seems to exist in the animal population, meaning that you can't destroy it with a vaccine, because it's going to be on all the animals that aren't vaccinated at all times.

01:13:48.000 Mutations can occur in animals, I guess.

01:13:52.000 It seems more similar to a flu, which is difficult to... We haven't figured out how to eradicate flu yet.

01:13:59.000 So I don't see an author... It just doesn't make sense to authoritatively do that.

01:14:04.000 It'll be booster shots forever.

01:14:06.000 I mean, the third shot came out today.

01:14:10.000 For immunocompromised.

01:14:11.000 But you know what?

01:14:12.000 Okay, good.

01:14:13.000 All right.

01:14:13.000 So but the issue should be on the policy front, it should be get your yearly COVID shot, but not mandate, not lock everything down.

01:14:21.000 I don't I don't have an issue with yearly flu shots.

01:14:23.000 It should be like the flu shot.

01:14:23.000 It should be.

01:14:24.000 And what we're seeing with the Delta variant is sort of the normal course of pandemics that we've seen from 1968 and

01:14:30.000 1919, where you have this deadly wave, and then it gets the mutates into a more contagious but less deadly variant.

01:14:41.000 So it's very sort of a natural flow of it.

01:14:44.000 That's kind of hidden with the obsession about cases right now.

01:14:46.000 But if you look at the mortality rates and hospitalization, legitimate hospitalizations, it kind of bears it out.

01:14:53.000 And what I mean by that is like they don't go into a hospital for a routine Check up or something and they happen to test for COVID.

01:14:59.000 That doesn't necessarily mean they went there for COVID.

01:15:02.000 So this very opaque data is difficult and they've made mistakes with it lately.

01:15:07.000 But the point is that it does seem to strike me the risk breakdown is like it should be like a flu shot.

01:15:14.000 The doctor says, I recommend that you get it because you're obese or you have Some sort of health factors and you're in the age group.

01:15:24.000 But mandating that children get it, I don't see the science there at this point.

01:15:28.000 I just don't really think the mandates in general.

01:15:30.000 Yeah.

01:15:31.000 Because the problem arises when, like that venue I mentioned where the woman couldn't go to a show because her doctor recommended against it. 1.00

01:15:39.000 Are we really going this route where it's like, in New York City you're not going to be able to go to a bar because they're like, well then you've got to get a negative test.

01:15:45.000 So we're going to put a financial pressure I assume that I heard they're not doing the free tests anymore, I guess.

01:15:50.000 So now what?

01:15:51.000 Every three days you got to go to a clinic because you have an underlying medical condition?

01:15:56.000 It's like, it's like throw the ADA out the window, man.

01:15:58.000 I'm not okay with that.

01:15:59.000 I think we have to respect individual autonomy and.

01:16:04.000 Well, one thing that we could say right now about the progressive left is they haven't been hiding who they are for since Woodrow Wilson.

01:16:10.000 Uh, they have, you know, you, you brought, he brought up like the alien sedition act or the alien, uh, yeah, the alien sedition act again, part two.

01:16:18.000 That basically made it against the government to criticize it during wartime, etc.

01:16:24.000 They have wanted a technocratic, managed society since that period.

01:16:29.000 And what the Information Aid has done since 1990 is given them the tools to do it.

01:16:34.000 And since everything is a means to an end for these people, and you could read it in Saul Alinsky or Reveille for Radicals or whatever, everything is a means to an end.

01:16:43.000 So they will weaponize the DOJ.

01:16:45.000 They will weaponize the CDC.

01:16:46.000 They will weaponize every tool at their disposal.

01:16:48.000 There is no moral Barrier that was in the place when the constitution was written for them.

01:16:54.000 They don't even see those barriers.

01:16:56.000 They see the utopian end line as a perfectly little managed anthill where they basically just direct people to go in a place and it's all harmonious and everybody has their little food in their little house and their little transport and it's not polluting the environment etc etc and that's what they see and I You know, that's where you get, like, very intelligent people support these sort of causes.

01:17:16.000 They don't see it as authoritarian.

01:17:18.000 They just see it as proper management of society.

01:17:21.000 And so for us, you know, I'm not going to speak for you, but I mean, from my personal perspective, respecting the Constitution and individual rights and wanting people to have their life protected because they're given this gift, they have this agency, they have this Wonderful chance to just experience life with all the freedom and opportunity and control that they have over their own lives.

01:17:46.000 This is if this is taken away.

01:17:50.000 Then humanity, as we know it, is lost.

01:17:53.000 It's not... For me, humanity sort of ceases to exist.

01:17:57.000 Yeah, it'll be the Borg.

01:17:59.000 You know what?

01:18:00.000 It goes back to colleges.

01:18:03.000 When I was a kid, and everyone kept demanding I go to college.

01:18:07.000 You gotta go to college to get that degree.

01:18:08.000 I was like, I can't afford to go to college.

01:18:09.000 Get loans!

01:18:10.000 Why?

01:18:11.000 What am I going to do in college?

01:18:12.000 You know, I was lucky. 1.00

01:18:13.000 Because I was told when I was in grade school, trust me, grade school is stupid. 1.00

01:18:17.000 Once you go to high school, it's so much better. 0.99

01:18:19.000 They have these different programs and you can choose some of your classes.

01:18:21.000 And I was like, oh, okay. 0.96

01:18:23.000 And then I went to high school and it was the exact same trash. 0.93

01:18:26.000 And so I said, I'm out. 0.60

01:18:28.000 Now, when they came to me and said, college is different, trust me, I say, I'm not going to believe you this time.

01:18:31.000 It was different though.

01:18:32.000 No, it wasn't.

01:18:33.000 You don't have to go to class.

01:18:34.000 I went to a community school.

01:18:36.000 I'm with Ian on that one.

01:18:37.000 Well, sure, I guess truancy laws don't exist when you're paying the bill, but I went to a community college for a couple months.

01:18:37.000 Yeah.

01:18:43.000 And I was like, this is a waste of my time.

01:18:43.000 Me too.

01:18:47.000 Complete waste. 1.00

01:18:47.000 It's the same garbage. 1.00

01:18:50.000 Here's what ends up happening. 1.00

01:18:52.000 You get these young people. 0.94

01:18:53.000 They haven't had jobs ever.

01:18:56.000 They're 22 years old, 24 years old.

01:18:57.000 They've never had a job and they're graduating college.

01:19:00.000 They have massive debt.

01:19:01.000 They can't pay off.

01:19:03.000 Now they're trying to enter a labor market with no discernible skills other than a college degree, so they're getting entry-level trash positions where they struggle to pay off their college debt, and then they eventually say, someone paid this for me, the government should pay it for me, it's not my fault, and where's the authority figure to tell me what to do?

01:19:22.000 Because throughout the entire lives in the institutionalized learning facilities, there was always an authority telling them what to do.

01:19:28.000 And now here they are once again saying, someone should be telling you what to do.

01:19:33.000 I shouldn't have to deal with this or pay for it.

01:19:35.000 Instead, I think people should get jobs, you know, when they're younger, real ones, but a lot of these kids didn't do it.

01:19:41.000 I can't tell you how many people I know left as activists, told me their life story was like, you know, I went to grade school, then high school, then college, and I graduated college and here I am as an activist.

01:19:48.000 I highly, if you're a parent, I highly advise you to make your kid get a job when they're 12.

01:19:52.000 Just something local.

01:19:54.000 Lawn mowing, paper delivery, snow shoveling.

01:19:56.000 Well, for me, I waited to go to college and I worked for like five years doing menial jobs and stuff that kind of sucked, to be honest with you.

01:20:03.000 You know, it was tough.

01:20:04.000 I was in southern Iowa and I, I mean, basically I went to college as a way not to go to work a sucky job because my grandpa was like, well, you don't want to work in office, you got to go to college or whatever.

01:20:15.000 So, and I got it.

01:20:16.000 That's not true.

01:20:17.000 Well, and well, I found that out because when I got my four year degree, I mean, I triple majored in, you know, poli sci, Russian stuff.

01:20:25.000 You know, I found that like, I tried to get a job right after four year college, and it was like almost impossible.

01:20:29.000 There was a flood of four year graduates.

01:20:31.000 Yep.

01:20:32.000 And I was just like, well, I have to go to graduate school then to really show that I'm not a BS-er.

01:20:36.000 And then I know how to do research, and I know my stuff, so I'm gonna have to go to a two-year graduate program.

01:20:42.000 Is it B.S.

01:20:43.000 or the Bachelor of Science?

01:20:44.000 Yes.

01:20:45.000 I found that, you know, in the past ten years, my experience has been, college degrees have been detrimental in the hiring process.

01:20:53.000 So one of the stories I've told is about my friend who was running a mid-level, it was a small business, but he did like medium chain businesses, restaurants for digital marketing.

01:21:03.000 And he kept hiring college grads because he assumed the degree meant something.

01:21:06.000 They couldn't do the work.

01:21:07.000 They constantly called with problems and complaints like, hey, the client did this.

01:21:11.000 What do I do?

01:21:11.000 And he's like, I hired you to do the job.

01:21:13.000 I'm not here to do the job for you.

01:21:13.000 Figure it out.

01:21:15.000 And then eventually he fires them.

01:21:17.000 He hires more people.

01:21:18.000 They have the same problem.

01:21:20.000 He fires them.

01:21:21.000 Now he's running out of money.

01:21:21.000 So he's like, he goes on Craigslist and he finds a couple of people who are like, I moved to LA to be actors.

01:21:27.000 And he was like, I can only afford to pay you, you know, X per hour.

01:21:31.000 And they were like, sounds good to us.

01:21:32.000 So we got him for cheaper.

01:21:34.000 Never called him with a problem.

01:21:36.000 And so he told me the story where he's like, I went out, I was doing a meeting with new clients, and then I don't get any, I don't hear anything from him.

01:21:42.000 I'm kind of worried, because I know there's always problems with clients.

01:21:44.000 They're not calling me.

01:21:46.000 I go back to the office.

01:21:47.000 Anything happened today?

01:21:48.000 Like, no, all good, boss.

01:21:49.000 No problems with clients? 0.55

01:21:50.000 Oh yeah, one of the clients posted something dumb, but we took care of it.

01:21:53.000 And then he said he realized the kids who defied the establishment, when they said go to college and get a degree, When they said, I'll do whatever you say, these are the people who couldn't solve the problem on their own.

01:22:03.000 But the kids who dropped out and said, I'm gonna go find my own path, were the people more likely to solve the problem on their own.

01:22:11.000 So this is a story that I've heard throughout my life, and I'm fortunate enough to have the internet, and to have friends, and to really thought this through, to think this through.

01:22:18.000 I remember reading about, just doing the basic math.

01:22:21.000 You're 18 years old, you started a fast food restaurant.

01:22:23.000 You work for 4 years.

01:22:25.000 After 4 years, you're probably making a little bit more money, you've probably saved a little bit of money, and you might even be an assistant manager.

01:22:31.000 You spend 4 years in college, you're now negative 40 grand.

01:22:35.000 You have no work experience, and you're hoping that these businesses will hire you based on your degree, but you're probably going to get a grunt entry-level position.

01:22:42.000 Meanwhile, your buddy, who's the same age as you, is a manager making, at the time, $30,000 or $40,000 a year, and you're making $10 an hour.

01:22:49.000 So I knew this one kid.

01:22:51.000 He told me that he went to a web dev firm because he was a web developer.

01:22:54.000 Self-taught.

01:22:55.000 He was a kid, and he was just learning to do web dev stuff.

01:22:59.000 He got hired for, I think they were paying him like $27,000 a year.

01:23:03.000 This was 15 years ago, whatever.

01:23:05.000 And he said what they told him was everybody who came in with a degree had high salary expectations because they had to pay off their debt.

01:23:11.000 And they said, we don't have enough to pay you $40,000.

01:23:14.000 And then, so all of a sudden this kid comes along who's 18 and they're like, do you have the skills to do all these different things?

01:23:20.000 He's like, oh yeah.

01:23:20.000 And he shows them his portfolio and they're like, perfect.

01:23:22.000 How's $27,000?

01:23:23.000 And he laughed, he was like, 27?

01:23:25.000 Whoa, that's so much money.

01:23:27.000 And he said his boss told him straight up, we couldn't afford to hire at the expectation

01:23:32.000 these college grads wanted, so we thought we weren't gonna be able to hire anybody

01:23:34.000 and grow the business.

01:23:35.000 And then you came along, we were able to afford you because we'd have that premium on college degrees.

01:23:41.000 So I always tell people, the most important thing right now,

01:23:44.000 especially with the influence, the attention economy, social media influencers,

01:23:47.000 you gotta learn yourself to solve problems.

01:23:50.000 I think college is quicksand.

01:23:52.000 It is, it is, it is, they're throwing you off.

01:23:55.000 Misery loves company.

01:23:56.000 Hey, I went to college, you should go to college too.

01:23:58.000 Now you're finding out that a lot of these businesses say, college degree or, you know, equivalent experience.

01:24:05.000 If you got a portfolio and it's really, really good, they'll hire you.

01:24:08.000 If you show up and you're like, you know, I once interned at a company and I have a degree, they're gonna be like, if you can't show me the work, I don't care.

01:24:15.000 So don't waste your time.

01:24:16.000 If you're an actor, I went to school for acting, and in the modern economy, you're better off making a YouTube channel and getting 600,000 subscribers in the four years after high school than going to acting school, if you want to become a famous actor after that.

01:24:29.000 Because they're gonna hire you if you have a million followers.

01:24:31.000 They're gonna put you in a commercial, you're gonna be making six figures per job.

01:24:36.000 But if you go to college, then you get to be 15 years that you're like, oh, I got to start a social media account when you're in your 30s.

01:24:41.000 And you're like, I've seen so many people.

01:24:42.000 They're just now starting.

01:24:44.000 They're just now starting their social media presences.

01:24:46.000 My friends with actors in L.A.

01:24:48.000 It's just sad.

01:24:49.000 Yeah, well, I mean, I went to art school for a couple of weeks, I don't know, a month, and I dropped out.

01:24:55.000 I was like, whoa.

01:24:56.000 They want to charge me $18,000.

01:24:57.000 I mean, if I'm Picasso, it's going to be obvious to people.

01:25:00.000 I don't need to do still lifes, you know, to kind of build myself up.

01:25:04.000 Either I have a passion for it and I can do it on my own or I can't.

01:25:08.000 That changed.

01:25:09.000 I mean, I wound up going to a community college because it was much more cost effective.

01:25:12.000 But then I found out I was good at academics, psychology, etc.

01:25:15.000 And so I kept pushing and pushing.

01:25:16.000 It's kind of a trap because, you know, I tried to go to college to sort of escape the poverty and the kind of realities of workaday life, and it was just such a contrast that I could go to school and, you know, be around other young people and just having fun and learning things, which I love to do.

01:25:38.000 I just kept on felting like I had to keep going to separate myself from others.

01:25:44.000 My first job I was hired at a little liberal arts college in Bard.

01:25:47.000 There's a funny story about this.

01:25:49.000 Very briefly, I was hired as an international program manager for about $37,000 in New York,

01:25:54.000 which is not much for that state.

01:25:57.000 Scrapped by for about, did some interesting things for about six months, but then I was

01:26:01.000 sort of let go because she figured out I was not a raging leftist.

01:26:05.000 This was a manager who is well connected with George Soros, and I was sort of the liaison between this Bard College and St.

01:26:14.000 Petersburg in Russia, Smolny Institute or whatever, and I would speak Russian, and so I was kind of the liaison here.

01:26:21.000 It's funny that Putin sort of figured out that this small liberal arts college was Soros-funded and Soros-connected and basically had cut off all ties to them.

01:26:33.000 So right when I left this job at Bard College years ago, I went to pursue my PhD at SUNY Albany.

01:26:41.000 All of them Marxists.

01:26:42.000 Sated Maoists.

01:26:43.000 Marxist-Leninists.

01:26:45.000 You know, a little bit of Fabian Socialists thrown in, but not much.

01:26:49.000 And I studied Marxism, but really...

01:26:52.000 The whole process for me is a little bit... The only value I got out of it was just realizing they're full of S. That was the only thing because I kept going because I'm like, God, surely these guys have 150, 160 IQs. 0.96

01:27:04.000 They have some knowledge and wisdom to impart with me.

01:27:07.000 No, that's not what they were doing.

01:27:09.000 They were really just grooming people to be a part of an activist, radical movement.

01:27:14.000 They weren't really looking for truth.

01:27:16.000 They were looking to change the world in their own image, in their own perception, and they wanted to recruit foot soldiers into it and kind of, you know, kind of regressing, you know, progressing through the ranks.

01:27:26.000 Oh, you can make colonel.

01:27:28.000 you can make general, you know, if you're a tenured doctor or whatever in this sort of,

01:27:32.000 you know, weaponized college environment. So I when I left, I went to independent media,

01:27:37.000 independent journal review, got in at the ground floor, one of the first few people hired and it

01:27:43.000 took off. But the value I got out of it was just I know their agenda on the inside. Like I had to

01:27:48.000 read stacks of social science gobbledygook that would just make, you know, a normal person's,

01:27:54.000 you know, mind melt because it's just like it's really a brainwashing program.

01:28:00.000 And and so when I talk to a superintendent at, you know, a local school district or whatever who has a Ph.D.

01:28:05.000 or whatever, like, you know, at least I can kind of understand what's behind the superficial sort of CRT program.

01:28:14.000 And like, You know, oh, I mean, it's kind of like a can't BS a BSer.

01:28:19.000 Like, I already know where you're coming at with this.

01:28:21.000 I know what your objectives are.

01:28:23.000 It's to make kids more woke.

01:28:26.000 Did you see that Rumble announced they basically signed a bunch of people to produce content?

01:28:31.000 Oh, good.

01:28:32.000 I've been using Rumble for a while since YouTube.

01:28:34.000 YouTube actually gave me a strike.

01:28:37.000 The only strike I had on my account was for showing Donald Trump at a public appearance.

01:28:42.000 I just posted the video of Donald Trump talking, no commentary, no nothing.

01:28:47.000 Apparently he must have mentioned the verboten election word, you know, and that was it.

01:28:53.000 They gave me a strike for that.

01:28:54.000 And then that's just like woke me up.

01:28:55.000 So like, I can't even just objectively do any kind of journalism or anything.

01:28:58.000 And they'll just say me if they don't like it.

01:29:00.000 What's fascinating is the criticism that establishment journalists are throwing at this eclectic group.

01:29:05.000 I mean, you've got Siraj Hashmi.

01:29:07.000 He's not a hardcore right-winger, by any means.

01:29:11.000 You've got Tulsi Gabbard.

01:29:14.000 I know.

01:29:15.000 She's rather progressive, actually.

01:29:17.000 And Glenn Greenwald.

01:29:18.000 And it's funny when I see this criticism.

01:29:20.000 Boy, do they really hate.

01:29:23.000 They're so jealous.

01:29:24.000 They're working for skinsuit companies.

01:29:26.000 You know, the New York Times.

01:29:28.000 It's got funding because it's got name value.

01:29:31.000 It's long-standing and people subscribe to it because it's just got that position, right?

01:29:36.000 But we here at TimCast.com go to the website, sign up.

01:29:39.000 We are not funded by any millionaires or billionaires.

01:29:41.000 It is just the users, the members, and the ad revenue we get.

01:29:46.000 There is no surreptitious funding or high-profile investors.

01:29:50.000 This freaks them out.

01:29:52.000 It's funny to me that they have this attitude on Twitter where they try to say things, they insult me for being a high school dropout and stuff like that.

01:29:58.000 And I'm like, yo, I'm proud of that.

01:30:01.000 And then they go, it shows.

01:30:02.000 I'm like, it certainly does.

01:30:03.000 Because you guys don't understand the difference between deontology and utilitarianism.

01:30:07.000 And I'm just some dude who reads online and you went to school for that stuff.

01:30:10.000 Imagine having an economics degree and not knowing what capitalism is.

01:30:13.000 Can we call you a high school opt-out?

01:30:16.000 Because you definitely didn't drop in any fashion.

01:30:18.000 I did drop out.

01:30:18.000 I mean, you elevated when you left that organization.

01:30:24.000 It was dragging you down and you were able to, you didn't drop out.

01:30:24.000 Yeah.

01:30:27.000 You raised up out of it. 0.86

01:30:30.000 It's funny because, you know, they like to take things out of context and then argue that I'm like dumb or whatever. 0.90

01:30:35.000 And I'm like, that's fine by me. 0.84

01:30:36.000 I don't care what you call me.

01:30:37.000 I'm like, we're running, we got here a growing company.

01:30:40.000 We've got a couple dozen employees at this point.

01:30:42.000 We're, I think we'll probably be at like 50 within the next year or so.

01:30:46.000 Just getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

01:30:47.000 We're talking about how we've got to figure out where we're going to put the new headquarters because we've got to buy another building.

01:30:51.000 Oh man, I'm so upset that these people don't think I'm smart when they're not able to find a job and they're struggling with their lives and advocating for insane policies that make no sense and we're over here having a very successful business.

01:31:01.000 So I'm not saying that because I'm trying to drag them down or insult them.

01:31:04.000 Or I'm trying to justify, you know, my ego to myself or anything.

01:31:08.000 I'm trying to point out, don't let these people lead you astray with their bad advice.

01:31:12.000 Misery loves company.

01:31:14.000 They want you sitting in the cesspool because crabs in a barrel, man.

01:31:16.000 They will pull you back in.

01:31:18.000 You can find your own way.

01:31:20.000 You can be successful if you build it yourself.

01:31:22.000 I think the path to success is perseverance.

01:31:25.000 It doesn't matter if you go to school.

01:31:26.000 It doesn't matter what country you're from.

01:31:27.000 If you keep working, you work hard enough, you can succeed.

01:31:30.000 No, I'm on the same page.

01:31:31.000 Obviously, I figured that out.

01:31:33.000 I mean, I was at Fox News for a while until the election.

01:31:37.000 It was a great experience in a lot of ways.

01:31:38.000 Insightful to be on the inside of a big cable news show.

01:31:43.000 But since I left and went on my own, you know, you can do it.

01:31:45.000 You can start your own company.

01:31:47.000 It is possible still.

01:31:49.000 For now.

01:31:50.000 I would knock on wood, but I'm not allowed to bang on the wood.

01:31:54.000 I've had a great experience.

01:31:55.000 I've syndicated with Trending Politics, which has been a good partner of mine.

01:32:03.000 My works get read, and I am really grateful for that.

01:32:09.000 You know, now is the time to push like there is the twilight is shrinking.

01:32:14.000 So, you know, there may be a couple of years left.

01:32:16.000 But, you know, I'm grateful to places like Rumble that are at least giving such a more trustworthy outlet than YouTube.

01:32:25.000 I'm not a fan of YouTube.

01:32:26.000 And if I do my own podcasting thing, it will be with Rumble.

01:32:30.000 YouTube is an afterthought for me.

01:32:31.000 And I'm glad I'm glad, you know, Google Alphabet, really.

01:32:35.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:32:36.000 Which I never understood why Google was able to buy YouTube, but you know, that's another conversation.

01:32:36.000 Right.

01:32:42.000 It was the first $1 billion acquisition.

01:32:45.000 Yeah, for me, it's wild.

01:32:59.000 We usually post them around 11 or so p.m.

01:33:01.000 because we record them and then publish them.

01:33:03.000 They are recorded live but they aren't live themselves.

01:33:05.000 And share the show with your friends if you like it.

01:33:07.000 Let's read some of these super chats.

01:33:09.000 Alright, let's see.

01:33:12.000 That's a great question.

01:33:13.000 Yeah, that's a really good point actually.

01:33:15.000 If all its authoritative power couldn't prevent subsequent outbreaks, how much power are we

01:33:19.000 prepared to give our government to stop a pandemic that couldn't be stopped by a totalitarian

01:33:22.000 system?

01:33:23.000 That's a great question.

01:33:24.000 Yeah, that's a really good point, actually.

01:33:25.000 I had a friend that had cancer and she was taking medicine and pharmaceuticals. 0.64

01:33:29.000 I was like, why don't you try diet?

01:33:31.000 And she's like, no, the doctor just told me to take this, take this.

01:33:33.000 But she was still feeling kind of ill.

01:33:35.000 So make sure you get a good doctor, man.

01:33:36.000 let them tell you what to do.

01:33:38.000 How long are you just going to go on?

01:33:38.000 Are you going to let them cut your arm off?

01:33:40.000 And that, like, shocked her up.

01:33:41.000 And she went, no.

01:33:43.000 And ever since she's had a way more clear head on her shoulders about that, I

01:33:47.000 think people need to realize that medical professionals are people

01:33:50.000 just like plumbers are people and carpenters are people.

01:33:53.000 And there's such a thing as the bottom of the class, the medical school.

01:33:56.000 So make sure you get a good doctor.

01:33:58.000 Man's right there because they'll build. We are the experiment.

01:34:01.000 It's a giant ongoing experiment that we're all part of.

01:34:07.000 I have had a lot of really great doctors in my life who have advocated for good diet.

01:34:11.000 I've had doctors tell me, like, cut the sugars out, sugars are bad. 0.96

01:34:14.000 Meanwhile, you get the food pyramid, which is garbage.

01:34:16.000 I've had doctors that I feel like have been completely honest.

01:34:19.000 So I don't know, whatever, you know, but yeah, I think the point I want to make sure we hit on this one is China welded people's doors shut and they're still dealing with problems right now.

01:34:27.000 They're locking down again.

01:34:29.000 So it's just like, like how far is too far?

01:34:31.000 Decide that right now for yourself and remember that if it happens.

01:34:35.000 Yeah.

01:34:36.000 Right.

01:34:36.000 All right.

01:34:37.000 Harry To says, Mayo is racist. 0.91

01:34:39.000 End of story. 0.83

01:34:40.000 All right.

01:34:41.000 If you say so.

01:34:43.000 Crayson says, Ian, check out a YouTube channel called Voices of the Past.

01:34:47.000 They read old journals and first-hand accounts of historical events.

01:34:50.000 For example, the Japanese perspective of the first Portuguese traders.

01:34:53.000 Cool!

01:34:54.000 That's really interesting.

01:34:56.000 Danimal Cracker says, AMC is still going to the moon.

01:34:59.000 Tim, are you still a diamond-handed space ape?

01:35:01.000 You guys should look into having Trey Collins on.

01:35:03.000 He is the spiritual leader of the apes.

01:35:05.000 I am still diamond-handed space ape.

01:35:07.000 I have a bunch of AMC.

01:35:08.000 I like AMC.

01:35:09.000 I like movies.

01:35:10.000 Uh, I don't- I've not been following the AMC stuff and the short.

01:35:14.000 I'm not- You know, look, by all means, people, do your thing, whatever my attitude is.

01:35:18.000 We went and saw- What movie did we go see?

01:35:20.000 Black Widow.

01:35:21.000 I love going to the movies, man.

01:35:22.000 Pretty sure we went to an AMC.

01:35:24.000 So I like it.

01:35:26.000 It's one of the things that I'm really upset about when they locked everything down.

01:35:28.000 It's like, I don't gotta go to a restaurant.

01:35:30.000 I'm happy with that.

01:35:30.000 I can make food.

01:35:31.000 But the movies are fun!

01:35:32.000 Did you guys ever have friends or work at a movie theater?

01:35:34.000 Or have friends that did?

01:35:35.000 That let you upstairs?

01:35:38.000 Yes!

01:35:39.000 Well, my Russian teacher in high school, he had a movie theater and my buddy worked there and we went up there.

01:35:45.000 Really one of these small-town movie theaters and ain't nothing like it.

01:35:49.000 The feel of it and the musty smell of it.

01:35:55.000 All right.

01:35:57.000 Twimmy says, personally not a fan of this new format.

01:36:00.000 I've been a fan since the true show ShimCast began.

01:36:02.000 This new Tim guy is a far-right anti-back beanie grifter.

01:36:06.000 Bring back ShimCast! 0.95

01:36:07.000 Down with TimCast!

01:36:08.000 Seamus is really good at what he does.

01:36:10.000 He is, yeah.

01:36:11.000 Oh yeah, we're launching a non-profit, Journalistic Enterprise.

01:36:17.000 It's going to be a fact-checking outlet.

01:36:20.000 The way it'll work is, I've been talking about this for a while, but we're actually filing the paperwork now and Seamus will be involved too, so I'm really excited.

01:36:27.000 It is, uh, we're going to sample a hundred articles within like the past month from every news outlet.

01:36:32.000 And then we're going to go through the articles based on the standard journal ethics from like the SPJ or whatever.

01:36:37.000 And then if there's any violation, we give the article an X and then we load it up and we say out of the hundred articles reviewed, 63 were rated as, you know, ethical journalism, you know, 37 or whatever.

01:36:50.000 Outstanding.

01:36:50.000 I'll, I'll be sure to keep an eye on that.

01:36:52.000 I think you'll see like the Huffington Post get a zero.

01:36:54.000 And I'm not saying it to be mean, I'm saying it's because they're clearly an opinion website, but they don't label their articles as opinions.

01:36:59.000 Well, the write-up on that Mayo article, I mean, it was something like you would fail if I was a professor at a community college, you would fail for just so many reasons.

01:37:08.000 So if they're asserting something to be news, but it's opinion, that's an ethical violation.

01:37:13.000 So I do think there's a lot of conservative commentary sites that would also get low scores for that.

01:37:16.000 You make sure to keep an eye on Reuters and AP because I feel like they've been... Yeah, Reuters has been... They've really been hurting their credibility lately, and I used to respect them a lot, but I think the last few years Trump broke them, I think, for whatever reason.

01:37:27.000 Minimizing harm is a journalistic ethic.

01:37:29.000 So, CNN, for instance, when they named the warehouse worker who posted the meme, that was a violation of journalistic ethics.

01:37:36.000 You don't need to destroy the man's life to tell the story.

01:37:39.000 So they maximized harm in that regard.

01:37:40.000 We'd give it an X. What we're gonna do is, we'll have a spreadsheet for each outlet, and we'll list all the articles.

01:37:45.000 You'll see all the articles, you'll see circles and Xs, and then it'll explain why.

01:37:49.000 Is it possible to find how many violations per article?

01:37:52.000 Like, if one article has six violations, and then they consistently have six violations per article, that's like six times the violation.

01:37:58.000 That's way worse than a company that does one violation per article.

01:38:01.000 No, no, no.

01:38:02.000 It's not about whether or not their articles are egregiously bad.

01:38:05.000 It's about, like, it's a harder standard in this capacity.

01:38:08.000 Like, are they correct?

01:38:10.000 It's either they are or they're not.

01:38:11.000 Is it perfect or is it slightly off?

01:38:12.000 Is it slightly off?

01:38:13.000 It's a fail.

01:38:14.000 Full X. Full fail.

01:38:15.000 And so a lot of these leftist publications that purport to be news, and if they're rated by NewsGuard as a certified truth, we're gonna come out and be like, well, we will use NewsGuard and we will use Wikipedia.

01:38:27.000 Specifically, so like The Huffington Post, for instance, is considered by Wikipedia to be a reliable news source.

01:38:34.000 Whoa.

01:38:34.000 Yes.

01:38:35.000 And NewsGuard considers them a reliable news source.

01:38:37.000 For that reason, they will get zeros across the board because every article is an opinion piece.

01:38:41.000 Absolutely.

01:38:42.000 And they don't put opinion on it.

01:38:43.000 And so, and we'll say that, so long as establishment institutions rate this source as reliable news, and the institution itself considers itself to be a news outlet, we will not give them a pass.

01:38:53.000 As for The Daily Wire, they call themselves conservative commentary and conservative spin the news.

01:38:58.000 In that case, we might just say, this is an opinion website, we don't rate ethics and opinion Every single one of my articles has opinion on it because I just feel like there are just so many assumptions I'm arguing against.

01:39:10.000 Most of the time I'm arguing with counterfactuals and providing data and evidence, but it's very much framed in the sense that what the mainstream media understanding of this subject is lacking.

01:39:21.000 You know, so here's here's some more information about this narrative when we when we run this if your website says

01:39:26.000 this is an opinion analysis website Then it's then we just say this is an opinion analysis

01:39:31.000 analysis website We don't we're not here to rate the New York Times for

01:39:35.000 instance when they publish news Are they putting in are they injecting?

01:39:38.000 So so look a lot of these act a lot of these partisan sites will probably find because they just say they're you know

01:39:45.000 Leftist commentary or activist commentary or conservative commentary. So we're gonna be like guys this website

01:39:50.000 They may it will probably check them on a factual basis on an opinion basis. That's the right way to do it. Yeah

01:39:55.000 So, but, you know, The Huffington Post will get a strike for an opinion piece, because they don't label anything as opinion when they are.

01:40:01.000 But if a website says, you know, the leading conservative opinion, and they're publishing fake news, we'll be like, XXXXX, you know.

01:40:08.000 We just won't hit them for opinion stuff.

01:40:10.000 But that's important too, because a lot of people think when they read, like, framing is big.

01:40:13.000 Yeah.

01:40:13.000 Yeah. Framing, if it's something is falsely framed, that's opinion.

01:40:17.000 And so if it says like, uh, if they include adjectives like Donald Trump

01:40:21.000 disgustingly referred to as a person by this name, that's an opinion.

01:40:25.000 Absolutely.

01:40:25.000 That adjective, that framing device.

01:40:27.000 If they say that, you know, Donald Trump took a dangerous move today to do acts.

01:40:31.000 That's an opinion.

01:40:33.000 That we know of.

01:40:33.000 Right.

01:40:33.000 Donald Trump did a backflip. That's a fact. I mean he didn't literally do a backflip,

01:40:38.000 but if the story is just like Donald Trump boarded Air Force One, he flew to this place

01:40:42.000 where he met with this person, did this thing, we say you're good. But if they say Donald Trump

01:40:45.000 made a disastrous attempt at meeting with a dictator, that's opinion. Strike. And I think

01:40:51.000 people would be surprised how much is opinion. Oh, absolutely.

01:40:54.000 I go to the New York Times all the time.

01:40:56.000 I can't get through the lead paragraph without an opinion like 80% of the time.

01:41:00.000 And so the New York Times might get a score of like 10 out of 100.

01:41:04.000 They almost always interject some types of adjectival descriptions that are not factual or empirical.

01:41:10.000 It's some sort of value judgment or moral, ethical judgment.

01:41:13.000 It's because it doesn't sell anymore.

01:41:15.000 And that's why we want to do this non-profit.

01:41:17.000 So that we can be like, here's our summary of the site.

01:41:21.000 I'm less concerned about funding.

01:41:22.000 Like, NewsGuard wants to know who's funding you.

01:41:24.000 I'm less concerned.

01:41:24.000 But let's read some more of these superchats.

01:41:27.000 Alright, let's see.

01:41:29.000 Benji Colmarez says, please watch the video Creators Shouldn't Own Their Own Creations by UniqueNamesaurus.

01:41:37.000 He makes an amazing case for ending IP and an alternative to our current payment models.

01:41:41.000 It'll blow your mind, Tim.

01:41:44.000 Ian, you should probably check that out.

01:41:45.000 What's it called again?

01:41:46.000 Creators Shouldn't Own Their Creations.

01:41:49.000 Own Their Own Creations.

01:41:51.000 All right.

01:41:53.000 Unspecial Noob says, I spent an hour last night trying to find ShimCast on Google to become a member and support the channel.

01:41:59.000 I'm calling BS.

01:41:59.000 It doesn't exist.

01:42:00.000 It should be called ShamCast, not ShimCast.

01:42:02.000 It should have been called ShamCast. 0.62

01:42:04.000 Boo.

01:42:04.000 True.

01:42:05.000 Shame us.

01:42:06.000 Shame us that they call him ShimShamCoglin.

01:42:07.000 Oh, yeah.

01:42:08.000 I can see it.

01:42:10.000 All right.

01:42:12.000 Mike Pierce says, have you heard about Oregon governor signing a bill to remove proficiency exams of reading, writing, and math to graduate high school?

01:42:21.000 Also, will you have Robert Barnes on the show?

01:42:23.000 He said he's willing to come on.

01:42:25.000 We absolutely will have Robert Barnes on the show.

01:42:27.000 We just have to book him.

01:42:29.000 And so we will get that sorted.

01:42:30.000 We will do that.

01:42:31.000 And yes, I heard about Oregon, that it's not about meritocracy anymore.

01:42:36.000 It's about just put them all in a little box and ship them out.

01:42:39.000 Yeah, it's part of a patriarchal system, I believe, and it's because of a white system of oppression.

01:42:49.000 So I guess if you live in another country and you have to take tests, we're somehow internationally imposing oppression abroad.

01:42:58.000 So I think the Japanese students, they still have to do tests.

01:43:02.000 In Chinese students, they have to test tests, so I don't... I'm not quite following their argument. 0.96

01:43:09.000 Alright, let's read this one.

01:43:12.000 FC3S says, Ian is right on IP.

01:43:15.000 Why does a performer deserve more for their work than your average blue-collar worker?

01:43:19.000 If I fix a car, I don't charge every driver for the work that I've done.

01:43:23.000 You create one widget, you get paid for one widget.

01:43:26.000 That's right.

01:43:26.000 If I write one song, Everybody who buys that song has to pay me $5 for it.

01:43:32.000 But if you can make unlimited copies for free, then the supply increases, well, infinitely almost, exponentially at the very least.

01:43:39.000 So then shouldn't the value, the demand then decrease by that inverse, you know?

01:43:44.000 Why?

01:43:45.000 It's just the nature of economics.

01:43:46.000 No, that's for scarcity.

01:43:48.000 Yeah, you've eliminated scarcity from amount of, you know, amount of songs you can copy.

01:43:53.000 You don't have to forge the CD and send it out anymore.

01:43:57.000 But it's your property, regardless of whether or not you can make it easily.

01:44:01.000 The law says so, I'm just pointing out the nature of it.

01:44:03.000 Hey, birdhouses are really easy to make.

01:44:04.000 Why don't we just make it so that you have to give them away if you have too many?

01:44:07.000 A surplus of corn?

01:44:07.000 Oh, what's that?

01:44:08.000 You shouldn't be allowed to do what you want with your property.

01:44:10.000 You have to give it away.

01:44:11.000 Birdhouses and corn are like finite resources.

01:44:13.000 I said when there's a surplus of corn.

01:44:15.000 But that's still a finite resource.

01:44:16.000 The digital copies can be done relatively infinitely.

01:44:19.000 I don't think that changes.

01:44:22.000 Well, it's changed the economy.

01:44:23.000 That's what the whole argument is, is the piracy movement, whatever you want to call it.

01:44:27.000 I think of it more as just a copy, a copy fest.

01:44:30.000 I think we have this argument every so often where Ian thinks piracy is OK in terms of... I just don't think it's... I don't think we should call it piracy.

01:44:36.000 I've heard that.

01:44:38.000 I don't know if it's true that the FBI is using calling it piracy and going after them with international piracy laws.

01:44:44.000 And, like, treating them like actual, like, people with weapons on boats that are... Like the Law of the Seas sort of thing?

01:44:50.000 So my brother made an extremely viral video that probably has a collective multi-billion views.

01:44:57.000 And his face isn't in it, nor is his name.

01:44:59.000 And it's been ripped off, like, thousands of times probably.

01:45:03.000 And that's what's wrong with this.

01:45:05.000 Someone taking it, and then re-hosting it, and making money off of someone else's work.

01:45:08.000 Well, people do that with my content, so, and I have to just approach them and say, hey, stop using my... But that's the same thing?

01:45:14.000 JP Sears, some people stole his video, uploaded it to Facebook, and that's how he got famous, and then he became super rich after that, yeah.

01:45:20.000 It's a good thing his face is a name now.

01:45:21.000 Exactly.

01:45:22.000 See, but that's not most people.

01:45:23.000 Most people aren't famous, and a lot of art doesn't include the name of the individual, so stealing their content and then repurposing it, we call it freebooting.

01:45:31.000 And it's extremely detrimental to people.

01:45:34.000 I've been trying to think of a technological solution where, like, you could track where the original came from and then with the payments of the cryptocurrency use smart contracts to automatically divide the payment to the original creator as well as any resalers.

01:45:47.000 But as the way it looks, I just see the inevitable economic restructure because of the increase in supply.

01:45:54.000 Padre Mortala says, alright man, what the hell do you want people to do?

01:45:58.000 Leave cities, not leave cities?

01:45:59.000 Fight back, not fight back?

01:46:00.000 You really riled some feathers in the MyPillow video.

01:46:03.000 I'll still watch, but warily. I've said it over and over again, leave cities. When have I said,

01:46:08.000 don't leave the cities? I said, I respect the people who want to stay and fight back. But man,

01:46:12.000 when you're 20% of the vote versus 80% of people who are burning it down, why would you stay there?

01:46:16.000 I've repeatedly said, if you're sitting in the living room while the garage is on fire, and

01:46:19.000 you're like, I'm not going to leave when the fire comes, don't expect me to come and shed a tear for

01:46:23.000 you because you chose to stay in a burning building. So yeah, I think people should get out of cities.

01:46:27.000 As for the MyPillow stuff, people should be riled up about all the changes that they did in the voting laws, like in Pennsylvania.

01:46:37.000 Instead, the guy from MyPillow is telling them all this grandiose stuff that he's never produced a smoking gun for, just anomalies.

01:46:46.000 I admit the anomalies give me pause.

01:46:48.000 A lot of them, like the Bellwether counties, I'm like, that's very strange.

01:46:50.000 How does that happen?

01:46:51.000 We should investigate and do audits, and I'm welcome for that.

01:46:53.000 But outside of that, Trying to draw a definitive conclusion from anomalies is impossible.

01:46:59.000 So people could be right now saying, we demand audits in these states.

01:47:03.000 In the meantime, we're going to work with the Republicans on voter reform.

01:47:06.000 Instead, they're at a symposium and now the guy comes out, Mike Lindell's guy, saying the data was not good and he can't prove it anyway.

01:47:14.000 And I'm like, you see, You know what's really been bothering me is, for all I know, you know, look, there's some smoking guns somewhere, right?

01:47:21.000 But ever since the election, I keep getting told, next week, on Monday, Trump is gonna come out, and then nothing happens.

01:47:28.000 I had a bunch of people saying, dude, March 5th, man.

01:47:31.000 You wait and see, March 5th?

01:47:32.000 And I'm like, uh-huh, sure.

01:47:33.000 Nothing happens.

01:47:34.000 Then they're like, oh, you know, come July, come August.

01:47:38.000 And I'm just like, dude, it's fine.

01:47:41.000 Do whatever you want to do when there's a smoking gun, when there's hard evidence, whatever.

01:47:46.000 Do the audits, do all that stuff, whatever builds your confidence.

01:47:49.000 But fighting back right now, I think you look at everything they did with changing the voter laws and people are distracted and they're not fighting back.

01:47:56.000 Yeah.

01:47:56.000 And I think that's very concrete.

01:47:58.000 It's very much black and white for me that they did not follow the constitutionally Adopted process for changing the voter laws in the in these states.

01:48:08.000 The issue to try to talk to people about what the remedy is in the solution is that they don't trust elections to remedy this.

01:48:16.000 The Republican Party has failed them.

01:48:17.000 They don't trust them at all.

01:48:19.000 In fact, they hate Republicans because they don't stand up for them or they betrayed Donald Trump for that point.

01:48:24.000 I mean, they loathe Mike Pence.

01:48:26.000 A lot of these people or or Governor Kemp in Georgia.

01:48:31.000 Those people are villains to them.

01:48:32.000 They feel completely let down by them and they feel like the system is irreparably broken.

01:48:38.000 Pardon me.

01:48:40.000 What I would point out in this situation, it was essentially a red wave election in these district in-house districts across the United States.

01:48:46.000 The House is a very key institution to get in this in this current situation that we're in.

01:48:51.000 You have to try to go and get the House.

01:48:54.000 You have to try to make Tea Party look like like a day at the picnic in 2010.

01:48:59.000 And the Democrats are going to be on the defense.

01:49:02.000 I think they all know this in the House races.

01:49:06.000 You have to go out and try to make it Happened and I think like there is really literally no way just prognosticating into the future I don't think that there's a way that the Democrats hold on to the house It just in taking the temperature of the country and just all of the districts around the United States It's just just looking at a map of red and blue counties It's it's just not it's just not going to they're not gonna hold on to the house in a fair election It's I don't think it'll happen.

01:49:37.000 Well, they're going to anger A lot of parents this fall.

01:49:40.000 It's true, but a year is a long time.

01:49:42.000 It is a long time.

01:49:44.000 It's that last week, it's that last month, you know what I mean?

01:49:47.000 I don't think this, I think this is going to be a pressure cooker election.

01:49:51.000 I think the crock pot is on, the steam is building.

01:49:55.000 I don't think it's, they're going to be looking for people to blame for their miserable, for people's miserable lives, which the Democrats are going to keep trying to make us miserable.

01:50:04.000 you can bank on that and they're going to want to take it out on somebody in the polling

01:50:09.000 booth.

01:50:10.000 If they come out and all these people turn out a mess and they vote and somehow the Democrats

01:50:13.000 escape leaving the House, there's going to be a real problem.

01:50:21.000 We did not see mass rioting after 2020.

01:50:24.000 We saw the January 6th incident, but we did not see it at January 20th.

01:50:29.000 I mean, what did we see on January 20th when it was predicted that there was going to be a mass uprising?

01:50:33.000 We saw a few sad old people with signs at state capitol buildings, but you did not see the SHTF yet. 0.66

01:50:46.000 I think people are holding out hope that the midterms can give some course corrections, a lot of people, but some people have just left the reservation.

01:50:53.000 They are not coming back and they are looking to be more and more angry and anybody that offers them some chimeras to get angry about, they're all for it right now.

01:51:03.000 They're going to sit, they're going to Console themselves and they're going to wallow and sort of self-pity to some point when they should be organizing and being active and looking for something substantive to accomplish before the elections, before it's too late.

01:51:20.000 Because the state, ultimately, if you want to look at somebody to be mad about for the 2020 election, look at the state legislatures.

01:51:26.000 These GOP-run state legislatures completely dropped the ball.

01:51:29.000 They failed their constituents.

01:51:31.000 They did not scream bloody murder when these absentee ballot rules were changed without their authority.

01:51:37.000 They waited until it was way too late to say anything about it.

01:51:41.000 They should have jumped on it from the very beginning.

01:51:43.000 They did not.

01:51:44.000 Now they want to do some kind of You know, some after the fact sort of legislation that doesn't seem to go far enough, as you pointed out, Tim, in some cases.

01:51:55.000 And people hold them to the fire.

01:51:57.000 Yeah, they're not paying attention because they're distracted by these other.

01:51:57.000 Hold.

01:52:01.000 side things and look I get it's a very passionate subject and I'm not I'm look I understand a lot of people in my audience they care about the subject I'm I'm not trying to talk down to you or anything you're you're you have a right to be mad you have a right to feel left out let down by the system the election system is broken voter integrity is it is in bad shape in this country We need to look ahead for the sake of our kids and our future, not to fight the last war.

01:52:26.000 Fight the war ahead of you.

01:52:28.000 Keep your eye on the prize, keep your eyes down range, and focus on the concrete things we could do because you don't let your kids down.

01:52:36.000 Do something substantive.

01:52:38.000 Vote for the real Right.

01:52:41.000 candidates not the not the establishment Republican types and then when the new wave of

01:52:48.000 Populist right come in you can impeach Joe Biden Right for all the Ukraine stuff and the China stuff

01:52:53.000 absolutely launch all the subpoenas and do all the investigations

01:52:56.000 You stay focused man Yeah, and I'm totally on board with that.

01:53:02.000 I mean, Biden, like we saw with the rent eviction moratorium, he knows it's unconstitutional.

01:53:12.000 The Supreme Court said it was completely illegal, and he said, I'll do it anyway, I guess.

01:53:16.000 Broke his oath of office right there.

01:53:18.000 If it was Donald Trump, they would be screaming bloody murder in the media.

01:53:21.000 So don't.

01:53:22.000 Just have a long memory.

01:53:23.000 File all these things aboard. 0.99

01:53:24.000 But in the meantime, make sure the next election has not as much of a shit show as the last one. 0.98

01:53:33.000 All right, The Science Change says, Excellent job on Mayogate. 0.98

01:53:36.000 Seriously impressed with how you're reporting.

01:53:39.000 What can an average Joe do to help America get back on track?

01:53:43.000 Raise your kids.

01:53:44.000 Homeschool your kids. 0.99

01:53:45.000 Stand up for what you believe in.

01:53:46.000 Make hard choices and do hard things.

01:53:48.000 Jordan Peterson says, Find the heaviest thing you can carry and carry it.

01:53:52.000 I think that would mean that if you're living in a city where they're introducing things policy-wise that you don't agree with, And it's extremely difficult for you to move.

01:54:01.000 That must be the heaviest thing you can carry, and you probably should carry it.

01:54:04.000 I think too many people just want comfort, the path of least resistance.

01:54:08.000 Man, I love- I love trudging through the storm and the mud.

01:54:11.000 I see that- that- that easy path.

01:54:13.000 Oh, it's a real easy path for me.

01:54:14.000 I don't need to do this job.

01:54:16.000 I could stop right now, and I can just skate all day, and- and do whatever.

01:54:21.000 I could shut this show down.

01:54:22.000 Why should I deal with smears from the media?

01:54:24.000 Man, it's brutal out there, huh?

01:54:26.000 Constantly getting people sending me awful things and threats and insults.

01:54:29.000 Man, who would want to tredge through something like that?

01:54:31.000 That's the path of most resistance.

01:54:33.000 Well, I like carrying heavy things.

01:54:34.000 I like doing the hard work.

01:54:36.000 I could just, I don't know, focus on the vlog.

01:54:38.000 The vlog will make more than enough to just sustain me for the rest of my life.

01:54:40.000 I don't have to worry about anything.

01:54:41.000 Build up that and do a Minecraft channel.

01:54:43.000 No, I like the challenge.

01:54:45.000 And that's why I'm here.

01:54:46.000 And that's why I'm grateful to everybody who's supporting that by being members.

01:54:49.000 So I think, you know, at the very least, sharing content, whether it be me, or Crowder, or Styx, or anybody that, 6XNAM, or anybody you really like, or checking out, you know, Kyle's website, Becker News, and sharing the things that you think are important, That's really that's an important thing you do.

01:55:04.000 I know most of you do it all the time so Do what you can when you can I suppose But I think maybe people need to realize that you have to you have to carry something heavier than you may be carrying Yeah, speak your mind on the Internet.

01:55:15.000 Make videos because it's humiliating.

01:55:17.000 Let people see who you are for real.

01:55:19.000 Let them know your fears and what you've done.

01:55:21.000 Let go of your secrets and they'll trust you.

01:55:23.000 And then when you when you tell them these things, they'll believe you.

01:55:26.000 It's more powerful than voting for people.

01:55:28.000 Agreed.

01:55:29.000 I would say on a more practical level to frequent small businesses and go to family run operations like that restaurant we talked about earlier.

01:55:36.000 Ben Stark says, have you heard about Tim Dillon and Democrat media calling Yeonmi Park a fraud?

01:55:40.000 Thoughts? 0.82

01:55:41.000 I think they're all liars. 0.87

01:55:43.000 I don't know about Tim Dillon. 0.95

01:55:44.000 I don't watch his show.

01:55:44.000 But when I show you that the Democrat media are lying to protect Biden because his failed policies, why would I believe them on Yeonmi Park?

01:55:54.000 I saw one of the stories, people were like, you go to see this Tim, she's a fraud.

01:55:57.000 And then I saw her comment on it, and it was like, a fairly reasonable assessment.

01:56:02.000 You know what the funny thing is, man?

01:56:04.000 People want to come out and insult her, and say all these things about her, and I read some of the criticisms of her, and I'm like, I think they're just out of context, smearing, falsely framing.

01:56:11.000 Because I'll tell you this, anybody who watches this show, who then goes and reads one of the hit pieces on me, is going to laugh at how insane they sound.

01:56:20.000 They're like, I can listen to this guy talk for four hours a day, and that does not represent what that show is.

01:56:25.000 They're so desperate.

01:56:27.000 The Mayogate thing. 1.00

01:56:30.000 5.6% inflation across the board.

01:56:32.000 5.4%.

01:56:32.000 So they assumed that the Mayo went up by 5.4%.

01:56:32.000 5.4%.

01:56:33.000 But the Mayo went up by 100%. 1.00

01:56:35.000 But these idiots, these fools, these lazy... So it's false inductive reasoning. 1.00

01:56:35.000 Not 5.4%. 1.00

01:56:37.000 went up by a hundred percent.

01:56:38.000 Yeah.

01:56:39.000 Not 5.4 percent. 1.00

01:56:40.000 But these idiots, these these fools, arrogant, these lazy. 1.00

01:56:44.000 So it's false inductive. 1.00

01:56:45.000 It's reasoning.

01:56:46.000 Yeah.

01:56:47.000 Yeah.

01:56:47.000 That's what it is.

01:56:48.000 Yep. 0.95

01:56:48.000 And then because they're all a bunch of hooting midwits that 0.95

01:56:48.000 Yeah. 0.95

01:56:51.000 they're all like someone says it and they'll go, yeah, that's

01:56:53.000 high fiving each other and chest bumping. 1.00

01:56:55.000 And it's like, guys, you're so dumb. 1.00

01:56:59.000 Did you even call the restaurant? 1.00

01:57:01.000 I don't like screaming idiot, like, what? 1.00

01:57:03.000 They don't have to balance the seconds. 1.00

01:57:03.000 No, no, no. 1.00

01:57:05.000 That's true.

01:57:05.000 The restaurant you call the restaurant when I saw the story I went I googled the website

01:57:05.000 It's greedy.

01:57:10.000 I grew the restaurant put the phone called it within a minute a guy says hello, and I'm like hi

01:57:14.000 My name is simple. I'm a journalist trying to get a comment on this story about mayonnaise, and he laughed is like oh,

01:57:19.000 yeah What do you need?

01:57:21.000 I just see that it says here you pay two to two hundred dollars more per week in mayonnaise

01:57:25.000 And I was wondering if you could elaborate on how that is oh

01:57:28.000 Oh yeah, so we do about 10 buckets per week, it's 5 gallons each.

01:57:32.000 They used to cost about $18, now they're about $36, so you know, do the math, it's about 10 more buckets, so it's about $200.

01:57:37.000 And I went, sounds about right to me.

01:57:39.000 What's your restaurant capacity?

01:57:40.000 And he says, and we use the mayonnaise for our dressings and stuff and the sauce that we make.

01:57:40.000 $250.

01:57:45.000 100% increase in that cost.

01:57:47.000 Makes sense to me.

01:57:48.000 Dude.

01:57:49.000 Complete.

01:57:49.000 Yeah.

01:57:50.000 We know that we don't miss.

01:57:51.000 I mean, that is not even like you barely almost hit it.

01:57:53.000 You completely missed it.

01:57:55.000 And they double down.

01:57:56.000 They completely three different writers.

01:57:58.000 And now they're driving a harassment campaign at a small business who said nothing political.

01:58:03.000 This is it's not journalism.

01:58:04.000 That's the problem.

01:58:05.000 I went to school for journalism for a period for like a year.

01:58:09.000 You learn about citing sources, about seeking multiple sources, fact checking, looking, getting an editor to go through your stuff afterwards.

01:58:15.000 Did you see and then putting your face behind it?

01:58:17.000 That's a big part of it.

01:58:18.000 You see what the Daily Beast wrote, where they were like, six months on, Donald Trump, his staffers are urging him to promote the vaccine, but he says, no.

01:58:27.000 And it's like, it says, nope.

01:58:28.000 And it's got a big Trump mouth.

01:58:30.000 And I'm just like, yo, I get so many emails from Trump where he's like, the vaccine is mine.

01:58:34.000 It's the greatest vaccine.

01:58:35.000 Everyone should get it.

01:58:36.000 That's right.

01:58:36.000 It's safe.

01:58:37.000 He's like, there's one email.

01:58:39.000 I went through my email of all the emails from Trump and it's like, Trump's not getting credit for the vaccine.

01:58:43.000 And he's like, they're trying to claim credit for the work I did.

01:58:45.000 Everyone should get it.

01:58:45.000 It's safe.

01:58:46.000 I'm like, how did they write an article claiming Trump won't promote the vaccine when he won't shut up about it?

01:58:51.000 I know.

01:58:51.000 He talks about Operation Warp Speed as the greatest thing since, you know, the, you know, the, uh, the attack on Okinawa in World War II.

01:58:58.000 You know, I mean like- They won't give him credit for it.

01:59:00.000 Yeah.

01:59:01.000 He wants the credit.

01:59:02.000 Give me the credit.

01:59:03.000 That's Donald Trump's personality.

01:59:04.000 I mean, come on.

01:59:05.000 All right, let's see what we got here.

01:59:09.000 Ramsey Stripling says, some woman tried to come in the restaurant I work at with a regular non-service dog. 0.86

01:59:14.000 Didn't allow her in and she got all of her friends to write reviews calling us racist and discriminatory.

01:59:18.000 Brought overall review down 4.823.

01:59:20.000 Can we like, okay, Yelp, you companies, Google, that do these at restaurant reviews, can you make it so that they have to have a geolocator go off when they're in the restaurant or something where they got to log in Like the restaurant has something with your website where they gotta log in.

01:59:34.000 It doesn't, it doesn't work.

01:59:35.000 To verify that they're eating there.

01:59:37.000 I mean, this is ridiculous that someone across, down the road can vote.

01:59:40.000 I knew a restaurant.

01:59:41.000 It was a burger joint.

01:59:43.000 And they got a call from Yelp and they were like, hey, you know, we see you on the site and we want to reach out to you, say if you want to do any advertising with us.

01:59:49.000 And he was like, I'm not interested in that.

01:59:50.000 Okay.

01:59:51.000 All of a sudden, a bunch of bad reviews started coming in.

01:59:55.000 And he, you know, there are some people who allege there's a conspiracy or whatever, but what was happening was bad reviews would come in, and the good reviews weren't coming in.

02:00:03.000 And it was because they said, well, the people who are in the restaurant having a bad experience pick it up and go...

02:00:11.000 And the people who have a good experience don't say anything, and then later on they might be like, oh yeah, you know, I went to that restaurant, that was cool.

02:00:16.000 And then they're like, well, this one is real-time, this one's not.

02:00:20.000 The point is, it's not so easy just to geofence.

02:00:24.000 But isn't the problem here that people across the country are downvoting a restaurant?

02:00:28.000 That makes no sense.

02:00:29.000 How do you prove that you've been there and you don't?

02:00:32.000 Put like a barcode on the receipt that you gotta scan or something before you leave the restroom.

02:00:36.000 How about you can only review it if you have a current receipt.

02:00:40.000 There you go.

02:00:41.000 I like that.

02:00:41.000 Easy.

02:00:43.000 All right.

02:00:44.000 Kamikaze A says, Australia is tracking population via QR codes.

02:00:49.000 We are required to enter our details and phone number to get a verification code to be able to enter any business.

02:00:54.000 Anyone looking to adopt a few Aussies? 0.84

02:00:55.000 Wow.

02:00:57.000 Come on over.

02:00:59.000 Man, what do you call it when all of these countries are moving in the exact same direction, you can't travel between them, and, I don't know, global authoritarianism?

02:01:07.000 Yeah.

02:01:08.000 Wow.

02:01:09.000 International fascism?

02:01:10.000 New world order?

02:01:11.000 I don't know.

02:01:12.000 New world order.

02:01:12.000 You're all right!

02:01:14.000 Smiley face fascism?

02:01:17.000 Richard Cranium says, Tim, I work in long-term care.

02:01:20.000 Bet you can't guess the party that comes in to do absentee voting.

02:01:24.000 I'll give you a hint.

02:01:24.000 The Dems.

02:01:26.000 Yep.

02:01:27.000 Yep.

02:01:28.000 Napalm Boner Fart says, Hot take!

02:01:30.000 Parents should send their kids to the military. 0.92

02:01:32.000 Best thing to happen to me.

02:01:33.000 I turned left to right but mostly learned responsibility.

02:01:36.000 Good.

02:01:36.000 I don't think... I don't think you can do that.

02:01:40.000 Like, your kid turns 18, they leave.

02:01:43.000 I do think there's like military academies and stuff and schools you can go to.

02:01:46.000 And I am...

02:01:50.000 Service guarantees citizenship is the easiest way to say it.

02:01:53.000 I don't know if a military academy or the military is the way to do it.

02:01:57.000 No, it's not.

02:01:58.000 The Romans tried that. 0.92

02:01:59.000 No, I mean, if you have a wayward kid, they're not going to find themselves in the military.

02:02:04.000 They need to want to do it.

02:02:06.000 And if they don't want to do it, it's not going to work out so well for them.

02:02:09.000 You are correct.

02:02:10.000 My brother really wanted to join the military and my parents didn't want him to.

02:02:14.000 But he did, and it was great for him.

02:02:16.000 Whereas with my other brother, he didn't really like it.

02:02:18.000 He got out as soon as he could.

02:02:19.000 It's like 50-50.

02:02:20.000 It's whatever you make of it.

02:02:22.000 Yeah, don't go to the military as a way of avoiding work or whatever.

02:02:27.000 Just work for a while and really think about it, and then if you feel like you need to get orders barked to you and you need to go serve, just be ready for it and go get it.

02:02:38.000 The One-Eyed King says Tim, should Rittenhouse trust truth as an affirmative defense like you said Lindell should with the Dominion suit?

02:02:45.000 The Dominion suit is a civil lawsuit where they're alleging he said things that were not the truth and that have caused them financial damages for which they are trying to recover financial damages.

02:02:54.000 In the instance of a defamation suit, there's something called an affirmative defense, meaning, I told the truth.

02:03:00.000 Case dismissed.

02:03:01.000 And all he need do is go to the judge and say, here you are, your honor.

02:03:04.000 There's the evidence.

02:03:05.000 And that judge will say, case dismissed.

02:03:07.000 That's it.

02:03:08.000 With cot written out, it's a criminal trial, and you're going to have an adversarial court where the state tries to prove their case, and the defense tries to prove their case.

02:03:16.000 But still, I would say, yes, cot written out should rely on the truth to win.

02:03:20.000 Granted, you'll need really good lawyers because they're going to use manipulative tactics, but the truth shall set you free.

02:03:26.000 My bigger issue, I suppose, is that politics will play a role, and it doesn't matter whether or not he's right or wrong.

02:03:33.000 In the instance of Lindell, it's entirely possible the judge would not rule in favor of Lindell no matter what, but if that's the case, then what are you trying to prove?

02:03:43.000 If no matter what you do, no one will ever accept it because they're scared socially, you've got a culture problem, and all you're doing is preaching to the choir.

02:03:50.000 Well, maybe that's what he's trying to do with the cyber symposium, just to play devil's advocate here.

02:03:56.000 He's trying to persuade people and, you know, use the media to spread his message.

02:04:01.000 And, you know, maybe he feels like the courts aren't a fair venue for him.

02:04:05.000 You know, maybe he personally feels that.

02:04:08.000 I'm not, you know, I don't represent his legal team, and I don't know all of the thinking and strategy behind it.

02:04:13.000 But that's definitely historically functional.

02:04:16.000 Getting the crowd behind you is a powerful way to bypass the courts.

02:04:18.000 The courts will vote for you.

02:04:20.000 Yep.

02:04:20.000 Beaumarchais did it in France.

02:04:22.000 Got out of a civil lawsuit.

02:04:24.000 Happy says, Do you think there is a place for libertarian-leaning people who are socially liberal in the classical sense?

02:04:30.000 For the most part, I'm pretty socially liberal.

02:04:31.000 However, I don't like big government.

02:04:33.000 Yeah, I agree.

02:04:34.000 That's like the usual left libertarian position.

02:04:37.000 But I don't know what to tell you, man.

02:04:40.000 Our institutions are all completely corporatist.

02:04:43.000 What do you do?

02:04:44.000 Well, look at look at BlackRock's infiltration of the Biden government, the economic advisors like, you know, Mike Pyle with Kamala Harris, who has also put in neoliberal policies under Obama.

02:04:58.000 You know, you look at what WestExec.

02:05:00.000 I was shocked, actually, that one of these think tanks that was Um, it was formed, uh, that basically sells itself as this sort of White House, uh, PR crisis management team.

02:05:15.000 There's like 23 from this one think tank sort of organization in the Biden White House.

02:05:21.000 And then you have a very weak president in this mix who doesn't seem to be running the show.

02:05:27.000 It strikes me as very corporatist and very seedy.

02:05:30.000 Yeah.
