A local restaurant in San Francisco is being attacked by establishment media and Democratic activists for a quote they got from a local guy about inflation. The problem is, the guy didn t say anything about it. And yet, that's what's going on in the media and on the internet.
00:00:06.000I almost didn't want to do this story as the lead for a few reasons.
00:00:09.000One, 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.
00:00:18.000I saw one person said, oh, it must be a slow news day.
00:00:20.000No, this is just substantially more important than other news.
00:00:36.000But this story about the restaurant really, really got to me.
00:00:40.000I 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.
00:00:50.000I 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.
00:01:02.000And I'm trying to figure out, like, how do you describe these people?
00:01:04.000They are authoritarian psychopaths, all right?
00:01:08.000The gist of the story is some guy gave a quote to local media about his rising costs of food because of inflation.
00:01:16.000It was not political in any sense of the imagination.
00:01:19.000Local GOP highlighted the story, calling it bot inflation.
00:01:23.000Now 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?
00:01:39.000Because the gag is that their mayonnaise was their guzzling mayonnaise.
00:01:42.000Now people are going after the business.
00:01:44.000They're slamming them on Yelp, and this guy didn't even do anything.
00:01:50.000He just said, oh yeah, inflation's been, you know, kind of intense.
00:01:53.000We're spending, you know, 200 bucks more per week on mayonnaise.
00:01:56.000And now to see what they're doing to regular people.
00:01:58.000I'll tell you why I think this story is more important.
00:02:01.000Then a lot of other things it shows you.
00:02:02.000You 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.
00:02:17.000Yo, Biden's responsible for the inflation for a lot of reasons.
00:02:22.000You 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?
00:02:32.000And 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?
00:02:39.000Dude seemed like he was genuinely scared because he never experienced this and this guy's totally apolitical.
00:02:44.000We 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.
00:03:32.000Before I forget, I think a lot of these writers that are writing this that are like taking things and printing them out of context.
00:03:38.000At first, I thought they seemed psychotic because they're less they're not critically thinking.
00:03:42.000They're kind of stupid, you could argue.
00:03:44.000But 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.
00:03:54.000So maybe these people are just all F'd up, confused, messed up, terrified, and so they're acting weird.
00:04:02.000When we went over Philip DeFranco's tweet, you know Philip DeFranco?
00:04:06.000He tweeted just like this really vile, nasty thing like, F you, I'm not gonna apologize to you, you anti-vaxxer.
00:04:13.000I'm like, when did people go, when did they become evil?
00:04:17.000Where they were like, I will burn you to the ground for no reason!
00:04:20.000Well, 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.
00:04:27.000We had the you know, the January 6th event.
00:04:30.000We've had the covid lockdowns that seem to be going on and on and on, or at least, you know, the regulations.
00:04:35.000And, 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.
00:04:48.000But 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?
00:05:44.000Before we get started, my friends, head over to surfinginternetsafe.com to get access to VirtualShield, the virtual private network service they are the sponsor for tonight.
00:05:53.000They say you will stay safe with 50% off for life, just $2.50 per month.
00:05:58.000A virtual private network helps keep you safe while you're browsing the web.
00:06:03.000It basically routes your data through a different server, so that's harder to spy on you.
00:06:08.000And you've got corporations, hackers, you've got governments, and they're all trying to do it.
00:06:11.000Now, to be fair, there's different levels of sophistication.
00:06:14.000You know, if somebody wants to come at you, they'll probably find a way, but you gotta have that basic level of security to make sure that, you know, hackers or whatever are not gonna be able to steal your stuff, your data.
00:06:25.000But more importantly, big tech companies and websites are constantly trying to track you.
00:06:30.000This is one way to just Shut your blinds.

00:07:55.000My friends, welcome to MayonnaiseGate.
00:07:57.000We'll give it the funniest name we can.
00:08:19.000Because they don't have to pay rent and because they are getting $16 an hour on average from unemployment payments.
00:08:24.000That's not literally every single person who quit their job doing it for that reason, but a large reason is this.
00:08:29.000When 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.
00:08:38.000I can respect not wanting to work crappy jobs.
00:08:40.000But when people don't work, they don't make stuff.
00:08:42.000When there's no stuff, there's low supply and the demand remains the same, prices will
00:09:34.000I'm paying $200 more a week in mayonnaise.
00:09:37.000Now, 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.
00:09:56.000Because these people seem to think that the price increase is static across all products, because they have no idea how the economy works.
00:10:02.000Surprise, surprise when they try and push communism or socialism.
00:10:06.000What 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.
00:10:19.000So, you do the math, it's, you know, eighteen bucks times ten, it's about two hundred dollars.
00:10:25.000And 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.
00:12:01.000What designer drug is mayonnaise code for?
00:12:04.000Jonah Blank says, somebody's eating way too much mayonnaise.
00:12:07.000Then, 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.
00:12:16.000These people are a combination of ignorant, arrogant, and aggressive.
00:12:21.000And that is shockingly terrifying, because what does that mean?
00:12:25.000They're too stupid to understand how basic economics works, why a restaurant might need 50 gallons of mayonnaise per week, which probably does.
00:12:33.000The restaurant capacity, I also reached out, 250 people.
00:12:36.000You 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.
00:12:43.000How much mayonnaise do you think they're going to use for 250 people in a 30 minute period?
00:12:47.000And now, how many people are coming to the restaurant every day?
00:12:52.000Instead, here's what ends up happening.
00:12:54.000They all end up lying, saying mayoflation, mocking the restaurant, and it turns into something much more terrifying.
00:13:01.000When 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.
00:13:12.000And so I'm told by the owner, At first they were like, oh, this is silly.
00:13:26.000You know, it's something something is happening and he's scared about what's going to happen.
00:13:29.000They'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.
00:13:39.000And now these lunatics are actually trying to cause damage to this restaurant who is not political.
00:13:44.000I have said it before and I will say it again.
00:13:46.000If you think sitting down and hiding is going to get you out of whatever is going on, you are wrong.
00:13:52.000And all that's going to happen is this will be life for everyone.
00:13:56.000You'll be sitting in your little cafe and you're like, I just run a small business.
00:13:59.000I have nothing to do with politics and I don't want to be involved.
00:14:02.000And then one day Antifa will show up and throw a brick through your window because someone accused you of being racist.
00:14:28.000And as I'm sitting at the bar, I'm eating a burger.
00:14:30.000There was a big thing on the window that insulted Trump and said that he was some kind of turd or something.
00:14:35.000And 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.
00:14:43.000And she's like, yeah, you know, you have to do it.
00:14:44.000And I was like, so you don't, do you agree with that message?
00:15:17.000They went around smashing up storefronts.
00:15:19.000And there's this photo of all of these stores smashed up except for one.
00:15:24.000And do you know why that one store wasn't smashed up?
00:15:26.000It had the communist fist in the window.
00:15:29.000This is an attack on a regular, regular, regular family guy.
00:15:33.000This 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.
00:15:54.000Maybe as you're in the crowd and the bear starts charging in, you're like, I can run faster than everybody else.
00:16:00.000Maybe 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.
00:16:16.000So I tweeted about this the other day.
00:16:18.000I said, um, I said something about Winston Churchill and his quote about feeding the alligator.
00:16:24.000And I said, at this point, conservatism has become nothing but feeding the alligator.
00:16:27.000Cause all we're doing is saying, I just want to be left alone.
00:16:36.000And I also tweeted something inflammatory about how it is now your role to fight.
00:16:40.000You don't get to have your white picket fence.
00:16:41.000You 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.
00:16:52.000And I think until people figure that out, we're going to have a serious problem.
00:16:55.000We can't just keep sitting back and taking it, but that's what conservatives do.
00:17:01.000Yeah, well this story is more disgusting than a mayo sandwich, let me just put it that way.
00:17:06.000I'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.
00:17:14.000They are not up for the real victims in society, they're the victimizers in the society.
00:17:19.000They 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.
00:17:29.000Anything that goes against their agenda or against their narrative, they either ignore it, downplay it, or attack people who draw attention to it.
00:17:35.000And 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.
00:17:47.000Where are them championing the little guys, the small business owners.
00:17:52.000Jeff Bezos and Amazon raking it in hand over fist this entire time.
00:17:57.000They don't scrutinize how it's benefiting corporations and multi-billionaires.
00:18:05.000This guy in North Carolina, he's the forgotten man in society.
00:18:08.000He'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.
00:18:26.000It's like, oh, it must be very difficult.
00:18:28.000Not 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.
00:18:40.000They're the ones who threw the sewage on the floor and they're laughing as you slip in it.
00:18:44.000Now let me explain, because there may be a lot of people saying, it's not, it was inflation, not Joe Biden.
00:18:50.000People are getting 16 bucks an hour not to work.
00:18:52.000We've already heard from many experts that this is a push factor, and so a lot of people don't want jobs.
00:18:59.000And 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.
00:19:15.000Some people are, a lot of people are paying rent, but some people aren't.
00:19:18.000This 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.
00:19:47.000It's the administration, the Democrats.
00:19:48.000And so long as he wants to shut down a gas pipeline, which causes speculators to buy more.
00:19:52.000I'm not a fan of speculators, by the way.
00:19:54.000Causes them to buy more, driving up prices.
00:19:56.000And 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.
00:20:04.000These are factors caused by Joe Biden directly.
00:20:07.000His policies, his administration, and Democrats.
00:20:23.000I'm also kind of frustrated with people like this, these restaurants.
00:20:28.000I 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.
00:20:40.000All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
00:20:44.000And so you have, I talked to the guy, I talked to two of the people at the restaurant, got a comment.
00:20:49.000And, you know, their sentiment was, we don't want to be involved in politics.
00:20:52.000I think both sides are bad, both parties suck, and both sides are doing it.
00:20:57.000And 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.
00:21:07.000So if regular people don't wake up to these extremists, by all means, the alt-right, they've been gone for three years.
00:21:57.000They 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.
00:22:05.000You know, typical Maoist type brainwashing sort of things that they put on the sign.
00:22:09.000I 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.
00:22:28.000And 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
00:25:03.000We'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.
00:25:16.000So ultimately, I'll say this, and I always do, I don't give medical advice.
00:25:19.000I'm not here to discourage or encourage anybody.
00:25:20.000You talk to a doctor, make sure you do what's right by you.
00:25:22.000There 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.
00:25:31.000If an elderly person wants to get medication, their doctor recommends it, no one should be doing that.
00:25:37.000But 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.
00:25:43.000The 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.
00:25:54.000This right now, it's how they get you.
00:25:55.000They say, well, we want to stop the pandemic.
00:26:38.000It 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.
00:26:48.000There's no protest, there's no moment of being left alone.
00:26:54.000And that's one of the things I said a year or so ago, two years ago maybe.
00:26:57.000I said, they will never leave you alone.
00:26:59.000If you think keeping your head down is going to keep you out of this political conflict, you are wrong.
00:27:04.000And the best thing you can do now is speak up before it's too late.
00:27:39.000Okay, 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?
00:27:45.000And I'm like, you could have stood up last year, you know, and pushed back against the authoritarian, you know, takeover.
00:27:50.000But for now, I would just recommend first going to your doctor and making a decision on your own health.
00:27:56.000And then if you if you can't work at this place, whatever reason, leave the job.
00:28:00.000Yeah, 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.
00:28:11.000They are taking the path of least resistance.
00:28:13.000They're not used to people pushing back.
00:28:15.000They're not used to people, and you don't even have to do it to push back in a sort of angry, mean way.
00:28:20.000Any kind of objection to them, especially if you show your human side and really put pressure on them, can be effective.
00:28:26.000And I've seen this firsthand in the school district that I live in.
00:28:30.000They did a critical race theory thing under the guise of so-called Unity Day.
00:28:35.000The 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.
00:28:44.000So I went and I talked with them and politely explained why parents were so angry and gave them some options.
00:28:51.000And 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.
00:29:07.000That's basically how they became a leftist to begin with, is because of peer pressure, going with the flow.
00:29:13.000They need to understand that there is no flow anymore.
00:29:17.000There 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.
00:29:25.000You have to make sure that you understand they need to see you as a person.
00:29:28.000You 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.
00:29:50.000There's a face to these people who they're hurting.
00:29:52.000There is a flow that people can go with, and it leads to a waterfall.
00:29:57.000So 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.
00:30:07.000But 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.
00:30:24.000They don't know what is or isn't because the rules keep changing.
00:30:28.000And then you have people sitting there being like, well, you know, they'll do it, I guess.
00:30:31.000Nah, people gotta wake up and be responsible for their own lives, man.
00:30:34.000There's a substantive lack of personal responsibility among a lot of Americans these days.
00:30:41.000Yeah, 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.
00:31:04.000You 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.
00:31:20.000I mean, in New York, they recently had a protest against the COVID mandates and the passports and they made a real show of force.
00:31:29.000But it's just glaring how that's not really the case in this country.
00:31:36.000It's kind of a letdown that we're not really getting out in force.
00:31:39.000So 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.
00:31:50.000The worst thing they can do is is try to force you to get home.
00:31:53.000And 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.
00:32:03.000Make it known that there is real authoritarianism behind these policies and make them make people understand that these are authoritarians.
00:32:10.000They 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.
00:32:16.000NBC 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?
00:32:23.000You know, we talk about this restaurant, this guy who's not political, he doesn't know what's going on.
00:32:26.000He's like, I don't want to be involved, right?
00:32:28.000How many people were ignoring all of this being like, well, we don't go outside, we wear a mask, okay, whatever.
00:32:34.000You 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.
00:32:41.000You 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.
00:32:46.000These 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?
00:32:51.000And they're gonna be like, wait, for my what?
00:33:24.000And, because it's named after two guys, and that was their name.
00:33:26.000And, because people keep telling me different pronunciations for it, so I finally, like,
00:33:30.000just watched a video talking about the scientists, and I'm like, argh!
00:33:34.000Anyway, if you have an underlying health condition and your doctor recommends against it, people
00:33:38.000are going to wake up hard to, like, wait a minute, hold on a minute.
00:33:41.000There 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.
00:33:50.000And 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.
00:33:56.000That's going to be the thing that kind of pulls people into what's going on.
00:33:59.000Like, 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.
00:35:00.000Your understanding of the science changed because you were not making it according to the empirical evidence that is right in front of you.
00:35:16.000This is actually what Fauci said, that at first they said, don't wear masks.
00:35:20.000Then they found out asymptomatic people were spreading it and said, OK, now wear masks.
00:35:23.000So they were still in the process of trying to figure out what's going on.
00:35:25.000And then they said it was aerosolized and instead of just.
00:35:29.000And 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.
00:35:46.000You can't come out and say, don't, right?
00:35:49.000And the argument is, well, the CDC is advising for these things, right, right, right.
00:35:53.000I think I shouldn't recommend anything at all.
00:35:57.000I think you should talk to a medical professional.
00:35:59.000You know, somebody who actually knows.
00:36:00.000I don't want to get sued if I give someone medical advice that's bad.
00:36:02.000I don't want to get sued if I give financial advice that's bad.
00:36:04.000I 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.
00:36:15.000And so anyway, what ends up happening is you see all these celebrities telling people to do something.
00:36:20.000I 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.
00:36:32.000The doctor might've been like, oh, okay, for that reason, I say no.
00:36:35.000So 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.
00:36:48.000If 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.
00:36:56.000I was on Twitter and I was like, celebrities should not be encouraging people.
00:36:59.000They should be encouraging them to go to their doctor.
00:37:00.000And people were like, you're an anti-vaxxer.
00:39:01.000Meanwhile, 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.
00:39:09.000See, when I was growing up, we had the garbage steaks from the local supermarket.
00:40:06.000School mask debate in Tennessee grows heated as local board requires masks in elementary schools.
00:40:11.000What's interesting is that Steve Bannon told us this.
00:40:13.000He 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.
00:40:20.000Something to that effect, paraphrasing.
00:40:21.000And it wasn't just critical race applied principles, it wasn't just the masses, all of these things.
00:40:26.000And now it's August 12th and we're seeing parents screaming at these people.
00:40:30.000So I think Steve was right about that.
00:40:32.000I 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.
00:40:39.000But 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.
00:40:59.000If 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.
00:41:47.000When 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.
00:41:54.000I'm older, a lot of my experiences are routine and forgettable.
00:42:31.000Maybe 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.
00:42:41.000If you're 10, 10% of your life was in solitary, basically.
00:43:29.000If 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?
00:43:44.000You're just creating like this factory of faceless you know, anonymous, just sort of, you know, you're dehumanizing
00:43:52.000them, you're alienating them, you're atomizing them. And this for me, it strikes me as a
00:45:55.000So 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.
00:46:25.000Yeah, so there are plausible causes of death, and they happen to test positive for COVID as well.
00:46:30.000So 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.
00:47:53.000I definitely agree with being careful.
00:47:54.000I definitely think the challenge here is I hope that they go on an individual basis.
00:47:58.000That's always the important thing because of potential underlying conditions.
00:48:01.000But 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.
00:48:18.000I think we gotta be really careful right now, simply because we need FDA approval, for sure.
00:48:23.000We 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.
00:48:38.000I'm just wondering if the vaccine could harm even metabolism or you know to have some sort of lingering effects.
00:48:47.000It 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.
00:49:19.000And 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.
00:49:52.000Make sure you read that stuff and talk to your doctor because you could be in that small percentage group.
00:49:56.000They 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.
00:50:13.000It 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.
00:50:25.000But I mean, obviously, mortality is worst case outcome.
00:50:27.000But pericarditis, myocarditis and so on is very serious.
00:50:31.000So, I mean, obviously, we sit here, we second guess and we armchair a lot of these
00:50:36.000health experts. But when you when you look at, you know, the problem
00:50:41.000is and you see with any kind of information system, it reminds me of a kind of like a
00:50:47.000When 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.
00:51:06.000You know, that has tended to serve the United States people very well.
00:51:14.000We have some of the most advanced medical centers in the world.
00:51:19.000But 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.
00:51:42.000It's treating us as if we're all at equal risk.
00:51:45.000This is not the way the United States medicine has been practiced.
00:51:49.000And we've always relied on our doctors to make the best judgments.
00:51:53.000There's a few exceptions, you know, smallpox, for example, you know, led to, you know, mandates for vaccines.
00:51:59.000So it isn't the first time it's ever happened in this country, by the way.
00:52:02.000Um, but, but what we see with the with the vaccines, they just rolled out so fast with the warp speed.
00:52:09.000And, you know, there's a lot of conflicting information.
00:52:12.000We're in the information age now, and it's just we're getting pulled in different directions.
00:52:15.000It's undermining trust for a lot of people.
00:52:17.000And 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.
00:52:27.000There's likely to be a very large overlap.
00:52:29.000However, it isn't the largest reticent group in the United States demographically.
00:52:33.000It'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.
00:52:44.000I 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.
00:53:07.000Thanks doc, patch me up and send me on my way.
00:53:09.000Doctor hands me a bunch of things, like here you go, take this stuff.
00:53:12.000I don't know, prednisolone or something?
00:54:00.000I 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.
00:54:10.000But isn't it interesting how it switched with the election?
00:54:34.000So 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.
00:54:50.000Turn Twitter off and get away from this.
00:54:52.000Can we rub that a little bit to the election and sort of the controversy about the election?
00:54:56.000What 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.
00:55:04.000You 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.
00:55:10.000The aftermath of it and people still distrust the elections.
00:55:14.000Well, 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.
00:55:40.000You 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.
00:55:50.000And the lack of security in the voting machines and so forth.
00:55:55.000And, 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.
00:56:10.000And what really kind of opened my eyes is when Syza came out, said it was the most secure election in history.
00:56:16.000And I knew that they could not have known that.
00:56:28.000It's like, oh, size is saying it's already secure.
00:56:30.000And they could not have investigated it that quickly.
00:56:33.000And 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.
00:57:48.000You 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?
00:57:56.000You got one hundred seventy million people.
00:57:58.000There's going to be instances like that.
00:58:00.000And you can't take one morsel and extrapolate it to a large, widespread claim or whatever.
00:58:06.000True, but you're going down to these swing states.
00:58:09.000And for me, the most substantial complaint about it was that the rules about the absentee balance and everything was changed extraordinarily and extra-judiciously.
00:58:19.000Or extra-legally, let's put it that way.
00:58:22.000Emergency powers were invoked in these different states in Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
00:58:34.000There were executive orders issued in some states.
00:58:38.000Others did pass it through the legislature.
00:58:41.000But 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.
00:58:51.000A hint that they were not partial to it.
00:58:54.000So I'm just saying a lot of these lawsuits were dismissed on lack of standing.
00:58:59.000And 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.
00:59:14.000They don't have to give you the passwords, apparently, as we see in Arizona.
00:59:27.000It'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.
00:59:47.000But I'm just saying, like, these for-profit entities and like Facebook funding these drop boxes in majority blue districts, according to analyses.
00:59:57.000This is a sort of unusual corporate Intrusion into our democratic process that would normally be raising alarm bells on the left.
01:00:06.000And before Trump lost, they were raising red flags.
01:00:09.000And then they just stopped because... And I think, you know, right now I'm in favor of it.
01:00:14.000I say, do the investigation, do the audit.
01:00:16.000Let's see what they can produce at the symposium.
01:00:21.000The real problem is that Time magazine article.
01:00:24.000The shadow campaign to save the election.
01:00:27.000It was the Republicans in Pennsylvania Drafting the legislation, passing the legislation for universal mail-in voting.
01:00:34.000Things that change the rules dramatically.
01:00:36.000What 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.
01:00:56.000And 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.
01:01:09.000That's not about, that's not, that's about persuasion, and that would dramatically alter and fortify the system, literally fortify the system.
01:01:17.000Instead, 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.
01:01:40.000And 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.
01:01:51.000You should put it into trying to get your legislature to hold voting machine companies more accountable and to open up transparency in those regards.
01:01:58.000Those are responsible, intelligent political processes that we can work together and possibly even persuade independence.
01:02:58.000He's being sued, he's under fire by Dominion.
01:03:01.000He obviously is a true believer in what he's doing, and I give him credit for... I disagree.
01:03:05.000Well, it seems to me that he's very fervent about his cause at the very least.
01:03:09.000He tried to get the lawsuit dismissed.
01:03:11.000Yeah, I know, and then it said that the First Amendment is not an umbrella protection for it.
01:03:16.000He 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.
01:03:22.000Also, it would have given him a venue to prove, with a judge overseeing it, that his evidence was true and correct.
01:03:29.000If he had the evidence to prove, why would he get the suit dismissed?
01:03:32.000He'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.
01:03:38.000Maybe the dollar signs were daunting, who knows, because it's like 1.3 billion dollars it's in.
01:03:45.000They're trying to scare people, you're right.
01:03:47.000Look, 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.
01:04:28.000You know what, I'll throw it to Steven Crowder.
01:04:30.000Crowder said when he was doing his investigative work that he thinks someone gave Lindell bad information.
01:04:37.000And 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.
01:05:57.000And meanwhile, the people who should be standing up and screaming are distracted because someone's waving hash codes about China or something.
01:06:05.000And 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.
01:06:20.000And yet when Major League Baseball pulls their all star game out of the Atlanta area, everybody in, you know, the airlines issue these statements.
01:06:30.000Everybody goes, well, they assume that it must have been a really legit Voter law that scared the left.
01:06:38.000It scared the Democrats, and so they had to do these extreme measures.
01:06:42.000So they moved to states that have war.
01:06:46.000And 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.
01:07:45.000That's why America's been so bountiful and successful and wealthy.
01:07:48.000And that's why the Soviet Union no longer exists.
01:07:51.000So no, don't screw your freedom, protect the freedom, and also recognize your responsibilities, but do it better.
01:07:56.000In 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.
01:08:13.000They're gaining so much by exploiting this crisis.
01:08:16.000So the risk is, You know, during World War II, we had an Office of Censorship.
01:08:43.000You should always have the right to decide what goes into your body.
01:08:48.000Whether whether a government authority figure says so or not, it's my body, my choice.
01:08:53.000And that goes back to the point that I was suggesting is the vaccine is ultimately
01:08:56.000works to prevent you from getting severe symptoms of it.
01:08:59.000And Dr. Rochelle Walensky drew this out essentially a week and a half ago.
01:09:03.000So it's there in black and white for anybody to go read what she said herself.
01:09:06.000But the point the point remains that it is a decision to limit the risk of the
01:09:11.000virus that it poses to me individually.
01:09:13.000And so it's it's each person's life to live on their own.
01:09:17.000And we should respect each person's autonomy.
01:09:21.000It's not like people are going to be spreading the disease if they're asymptomatic and they haven't gotten the vaccine.
01:09:28.000That is really such a far extreme outlier case that we are really trying to put some totalitarian system in place to prevent extreme outliers.
01:09:42.000It'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.
01:09:54.000This is why I can't stand the celebrities.
01:09:56.000This is one of the most damaging things you could do if you were actively trying to get people to get the vaccine.
01:10:01.000The 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.
01:10:12.000I trust you to talk to someone you trust.
01:10:15.000You've got to give, you know what I mean?
01:10:17.000When 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.
01:10:22.000When you say screw your freedom, you're like... You're turning it into a political paradigm at that point.
01:10:26.000What 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.
01:10:33.000I said states that have higher vaccination rates, it looks like they have less percentage of people who are getting severe symptoms.
01:10:41.000It seems like it's working, so that persuaded me.
01:10:44.000Like, I just did my own data analysis and ran the comparative research and I found that, okay, it holds up.
01:10:51.000So 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.
01:10:59.000But I would say you appeal to you like, you know, I don't want to see people get extremely sick with this virus.
01:11:04.000I don't want to see your children lose a loved one over this.
01:11:08.000And so if you're at risk, you should talk to your doctor about getting this because it could really save your life potentially.
01:11:14.000If 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?
01:12:09.000Because we're talking about vaccine passports.
01:12:11.000We'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.
01:12:23.000And I'm just like, leave New York City?
01:12:27.000You know, like, Don't make your kid go... If you think it's wrong for your child, you make the choice.
01:12:32.000So when he's saying screw your freedom...
01:12:35.000I don't feel like he's actually talking about the vaccine, to be honest.
01:12:38.000I 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.
01:12:47.000I 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.
01:12:59.000Now, people have to have some level of autonomy.
01:13:03.000That's why I was saying, like, the Soviet Union, they lasted, what, 69 years?
01:13:18.000I 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.
01:13:29.000Smallpox, however, does not exist in the animal population other than humans that we knew of.
01:13:33.000So that was why we were able to vaccinate and wipe it out.
01:13:35.000So it was an effective use of an authoritarian vaccine.
01:13:40.000This 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.
01:13:48.000Mutations can occur in animals, I guess.
01:13:52.000It seems more similar to a flu, which is difficult to... We haven't figured out how to eradicate flu yet.
01:13:59.000So I don't see an author... It just doesn't make sense to authoritatively do that.
01:15:31.000Because the problem arises when, like that venue I mentioned where the woman couldn't go to a show because her doctor recommended against it.
01:15:39.000Are 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.
01:15:45.000So we're going to put a financial pressure I assume that I heard they're not doing the free tests anymore, I guess.
01:15:59.000I think we have to respect individual autonomy and.
01:16:04.000Well, 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.
01:16:10.000Uh, 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.
01:16:18.000That basically made it against the government to criticize it during wartime, etc.
01:16:24.000They have wanted a technocratic, managed society since that period.
01:16:29.000And what the Information Aid has done since 1990 is given them the tools to do it.
01:16:34.000And 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.
01:16:56.000They 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.
01:17:18.000They just see it as proper management of society.
01:17:21.000And 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.
01:19:03.000Now 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?
01:19:22.000Because throughout the entire lives in the institutionalized learning facilities, there was always an authority telling them what to do.
01:19:28.000And now here they are once again saying, someone should be telling you what to do.
01:19:33.000I shouldn't have to deal with this or pay for it.
01:19:35.000Instead, I think people should get jobs, you know, when they're younger, real ones, but a lot of these kids didn't do it.
01:19:41.000I 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.
01:19:48.000I highly, if you're a parent, I highly advise you to make your kid get a job when they're 12.
01:19:54.000Lawn mowing, paper delivery, snow shoveling.
01:19:56.000Well, 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.
01:20:04.000I 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.
01:20:45.000I found that, you know, in the past ten years, my experience has been, college degrees have been detrimental in the hiring process.
01:20:53.000So 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.
01:21:03.000And he kept hiring college grads because he assumed the degree meant something.
01:21:36.000And 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.
01:21:42.000I'm kind of worried, because I know there's always problems with clients.
01:21:50.000Oh yeah, one of the clients posted something dumb, but we took care of it.
01:21:53.000And 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.
01:22:03.000But 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.
01:22:11.000So 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.
01:22:18.000I remember reading about, just doing the basic math.
01:22:21.000You're 18 years old, you started a fast food restaurant.
01:22:25.000After 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.
01:22:31.000You spend 4 years in college, you're now negative 40 grand.
01:22:35.000You 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.
01:22:42.000Meanwhile, 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.
01:23:05.000And 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.
01:23:11.000And they said, we don't have enough to pay you $40,000.
01:23:14.000And 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?
01:23:56.000Hey, I went to college, you should go to college too.
01:23:58.000Now you're finding out that a lot of these businesses say, college degree or, you know, equivalent experience.
01:24:05.000If you got a portfolio and it's really, really good, they'll hire you.
01:24:08.000If 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.
01:24:16.000If 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.
01:24:29.000Because they're gonna hire you if you have a million followers.
01:24:31.000They're gonna put you in a commercial, you're gonna be making six figures per job.
01:24:36.000But 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.
01:24:41.000And you're like, I've seen so many people.
01:25:16.000It'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.
01:25:38.000I just kept on felting like I had to keep going to separate myself from others.
01:25:44.000My first job I was hired at a little liberal arts college in Bard.
01:25:57.000Scrapped by for about, did some interesting things for about six months, but then I was
01:26:01.000sort of let go because she figured out I was not a raging leftist.
01:26:05.000This was a manager who is well connected with George Soros, and I was sort of the liaison between this Bard College and St.
01:26:14.000Petersburg in Russia, Smolny Institute or whatever, and I would speak Russian, and so I was kind of the liaison here.
01:26:21.000It'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.
01:26:33.000So right when I left this job at Bard College years ago, I went to pursue my PhD at SUNY Albany.
01:26:52.000The 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.
01:27:04.000They have some knowledge and wisdom to impart with me.
01:27:09.000They were really just grooming people to be a part of an activist, radical movement.
01:27:14.000They weren't really looking for truth.
01:27:16.000They 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.
01:29:52.000It'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.
01:30:37.000I'm like, we're running, we got here a growing company.
01:30:40.000We've got a couple dozen employees at this point.
01:30:42.000We're, I think we'll probably be at like 50 within the next year or so.
01:30:46.000Just getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
01:30:47.000We'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.
01:30:51.000Oh 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.
01:31:01.000So I'm not saying that because I'm trying to drag them down or insult them.
01:31:04.000Or I'm trying to justify, you know, my ego to myself or anything.
01:31:08.000I'm trying to point out, don't let these people lead you astray with their bad advice.
01:33:58.000Man's right there because they'll build. We are the experiment.
01:34:01.000It's a giant ongoing experiment that we're all part of.
01:34:07.000I have had a lot of really great doctors in my life who have advocated for good diet.
01:34:11.000I've had doctors tell me, like, cut the sugars out, sugars are bad.
01:34:14.000Meanwhile, you get the food pyramid, which is garbage.
01:34:16.000I've had doctors that I feel like have been completely honest.
01:34:19.000So 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.
01:36:11.000Oh yeah, we're launching a non-profit, Journalistic Enterprise.
01:36:17.000It's going to be a fact-checking outlet.
01:36:20.000The 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.
01:36:27.000It is, uh, we're going to sample a hundred articles within like the past month from every news outlet.
01:36:32.000And then we're going to go through the articles based on the standard journal ethics from like the SPJ or whatever.
01:36:37.000And 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.
01:36:50.000I'll, I'll be sure to keep an eye on that.
01:36:52.000I think you'll see like the Huffington Post get a zero.
01:36:54.000And 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.
01:36:59.000Well, 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.
01:37:08.000So if they're asserting something to be news, but it's opinion, that's an ethical violation.
01:37:13.000So I do think there's a lot of conservative commentary sites that would also get low scores for that.
01:37:16.000You 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.
01:37:27.000Minimizing harm is a journalistic ethic.
01:37:29.000So, CNN, for instance, when they named the warehouse worker who posted the meme, that was a violation of journalistic ethics.
01:37:36.000You don't need to destroy the man's life to tell the story.
01:37:39.000So they maximized harm in that regard.
01:37:40.000We'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.
01:37:45.000You'll see all the articles, you'll see circles and Xs, and then it'll explain why.
01:37:49.000Is it possible to find how many violations per article?
01:37:52.000Like, if one article has six violations, and then they consistently have six violations per article, that's like six times the violation.
01:37:58.000That's way worse than a company that does one violation per article.
01:38:15.000And 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.
01:38:27.000Specifically, so like The Huffington Post, for instance, is considered by Wikipedia to be a reliable news source.
01:38:43.000And 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.
01:38:53.000As for The Daily Wire, they call themselves conservative commentary and conservative spin the news.
01:38:58.000In 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.
01:39:10.000Most 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.
01:39:21.000You know, so here's here's some more information about this narrative when we when we run this if your website says
01:39:26.000this is an opinion analysis website Then it's then we just say this is an opinion analysis
01:39:31.000analysis website We don't we're not here to rate the New York Times for
01:39:35.000instance when they publish news Are they putting in are they injecting?
01:39:38.000So so look a lot of these act a lot of these partisan sites will probably find because they just say they're you know
01:39:45.000Leftist commentary or activist commentary or conservative commentary. So we're gonna be like guys this website
01:39:50.000They may it will probably check them on a factual basis on an opinion basis. That's the right way to do it. Yeah
01:39:55.000So, 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.
01:40:01.000But if a website says, you know, the leading conservative opinion, and they're publishing fake news, we'll be like, XXXXX, you know.
01:40:08.000We just won't hit them for opinion stuff.
01:40:10.000But that's important too, because a lot of people think when they read, like, framing is big.
01:42:12.000Mike Pierce says, have you heard about Oregon governor signing a bill to remove proficiency exams of reading, writing, and math to graduate high school?
01:42:21.000Also, will you have Robert Barnes on the show?
01:44:23.000That's what the whole argument is, is the piracy movement, whatever you want to call it.
01:44:27.000I think of it more as just a copy, a copy fest.
01:44:30.000I 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.
01:45:05.000Someone taking it, and then re-hosting it, and making money off of someone else's work.
01:45:08.000Well, 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?
01:45:14.000JP 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.
01:45:20.000It's a good thing his face is a name now.
01:45:23.000Most 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.
01:45:31.000And it's extremely detrimental to people.
01:45:34.000I'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.
01:45:47.000But as the way it looks, I just see the inevitable economic restructure because of the increase in supply.
01:45:54.000Padre Mortala says, alright man, what the hell do you want people to do?
01:46:51.000We should investigate and do audits, and I'm welcome for that.
01:46:53.000But outside of that, Trying to draw a definitive conclusion from anomalies is impossible.
01:46:59.000So people could be right now saying, we demand audits in these states.
01:47:03.000In the meantime, we're going to work with the Republicans on voter reform.
01:47:06.000Instead, 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.
01:47:14.000And 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?
01:47:21.000But ever since the election, I keep getting told, next week, on Monday, Trump is gonna come out, and then nothing happens.
01:47:28.000I had a bunch of people saying, dude, March 5th, man.
01:47:41.000Do whatever you want to do when there's a smoking gun, when there's hard evidence, whatever.
01:47:46.000Do the audits, do all that stuff, whatever builds your confidence.
01:47:49.000But 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.
01:47:58.000It'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.
01:48:08.000The 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.
01:48:40.000What I would point out in this situation, it was essentially a red wave election in these district in-house districts across the United States.
01:48:46.000The House is a very key institution to get in this in this current situation that we're in.
01:48:51.000You have to try to go and get the House.
01:48:54.000You have to try to make Tea Party look like like a day at the picnic in 2010.
01:48:59.000And the Democrats are going to be on the defense.
01:49:02.000I think they all know this in the House races.
01:49:06.000You 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.
01:49:37.000Well, they're going to anger A lot of parents this fall.
01:49:44.000It's that last week, it's that last month, you know what I mean?
01:49:47.000I don't think this, I think this is going to be a pressure cooker election.
01:49:51.000I think the crock pot is on, the steam is building.
01:49:55.000I 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.
01:50:04.000you can bank on that and they're going to want to take it out on somebody in the polling
01:50:10.000If they come out and all these people turn out a mess and they vote and somehow the Democrats
01:50:13.000escape leaving the House, there's going to be a real problem.
01:50:21.000We did not see mass rioting after 2020.
01:50:24.000We saw the January 6th incident, but we did not see it at January 20th.
01:50:29.000I mean, what did we see on January 20th when it was predicted that there was going to be a mass uprising?
01:50:33.000We saw a few sad old people with signs at state capitol buildings, but you did not see the SHTF yet.
01:50:46.000I 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.
01:50:53.000They 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.
01:51:03.000They'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.
01:51:20.000Because the state, ultimately, if you want to look at somebody to be mad about for the 2020 election, look at the state legislatures.
01:51:26.000These GOP-run state legislatures completely dropped the ball.
01:51:44.000Now 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.
01:52:01.000side 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.
01:53:48.000Jordan Peterson says, Find the heaviest thing you can carry and carry it.
01:53:52.000I 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.
01:54:01.000That must be the heaviest thing you can carry, and you probably should carry it.
01:54:04.000I think too many people just want comfort, the path of least resistance.
01:54:08.000Man, I love- I love trudging through the storm and the mud.
01:54:46.000And that's why I'm grateful to everybody who's supporting that by being members.
01:54:49.000So 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.
01:55:04.000I 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.
01:55:29.000I would say on a more practical level to frequent small businesses and go to family run operations like that restaurant we talked about earlier.
01:55:36.000Ben Stark says, have you heard about Tim Dillon and Democrat media calling Yeonmi Park a fraud?
01:55:44.000But 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?
01:55:54.000I saw one of the stories, people were like, you go to see this Tim, she's a fraud.
01:55:57.000And then I saw her comment on it, and it was like, a fairly reasonable assessment.
01:56:02.000You know what the funny thing is, man?
01:56:04.000People 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.
01:56:11.000Because 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.
01:56:20.000They're like, I can listen to this guy talk for four hours a day, and that does not represent what that show is.
01:58:05.000I went to school for journalism for a period for like a year.
01:58:09.000You learn about citing sources, about seeking multiple sources, fact checking, looking, getting an editor to go through your stuff afterwards.
01:58:15.000Did you see and then putting your face behind it?
01:58:18.000You 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.
01:59:20.000Can 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.
01:59:43.000And 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.
01:59:49.000And he was like, I'm not interested in that.
01:59:51.000All of a sudden, a bunch of bad reviews started coming in.
01:59:55.000And 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.
02:00:03.000And it was because they said, well, the people who are in the restaurant having a bad experience pick it up and go...
02:00:11.000And 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.
02:00:16.000And then they're like, well, this one is real-time, this one's not.
02:00:20.000The point is, it's not so easy just to geofence.
02:00:24.000But isn't the problem here that people across the country are downvoting a restaurant?
02:00:59.000Man, 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?
02:02:22.000Yeah, don't go to the military as a way of avoiding work or whatever.
02:02:27.000Just 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.
02:02:38.000The One-Eyed King says Tim, should Rittenhouse trust truth as an affirmative defense like you said Lindell should with the Dominion suit?
02:02:45.000The 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.
02:02:54.000In the instance of a defamation suit, there's something called an affirmative defense, meaning, I told the truth.
02:03:08.000With 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.
02:03:16.000But still, I would say, yes, cot written out should rely on the truth to win.
02:03:20.000Granted, you'll need really good lawyers because they're going to use manipulative tactics, but the truth shall set you free.
02:03:26.000My bigger issue, I suppose, is that politics will play a role, and it doesn't matter whether or not he's right or wrong.
02:03:33.000In 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?
02:03:43.000If 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.
02:03:50.000Well, maybe that's what he's trying to do with the cyber symposium, just to play devil's advocate here.
02:03:56.000He's trying to persuade people and, you know, use the media to spread his message.
02:04:01.000And, you know, maybe he feels like the courts aren't a fair venue for him.
02:04:05.000You know, maybe he personally feels that.
02:04:08.000I'm not, you know, I don't represent his legal team, and I don't know all of the thinking and strategy behind it.
02:04:44.000Well, 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.
02:05:00.000I 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.
02:05:15.000There's like 23 from this one think tank sort of organization in the Biden White House.
02:05:21.000And then you have a very weak president in this mix who doesn't seem to be running the show.
02:05:27.000It strikes me as very corporatist and very seedy.
