Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Democrats Face HISTORIC DEFEAT, CNN Says GOP At 80 Year HIGH In Polls w-Bethany Mandel

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:53.000 CNN data reporter crunched the numbers and it turns out Republicans have not pulled this well before midterm in 80

00:01:14.000 years In all of these years where Democrats actually were defeated, they were polling up.

00:01:21.000 So it's going to be particularly brutal.

00:01:23.000 The good news is, well, there's no good news, but Joe Biden's trying to make it seem like there's good news, saying we're in a robust recovery, and that everything's fine, everybody, but it's weird that the messaging is everything's fine when people are looking at gasoline nearing $5 a gallon.

00:01:38.000 The latest AAA average for the country is $4.

00:01:41.000 Was it $4.91?

00:01:45.000 In California, Mendocino I think is the name of the city, $9.60 a gallon, the highest in the country, and 13 states have gas already over $5. 0.99

00:01:56.000 People have been telling us in Illinois it's $5, so yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the economy, stupid. 0.77

00:02:01.000 But of course, we can also talk about what's going on with these drag queen kids shows, because Texas and Florida have two reps that are seeking to make it a felony, to make it illegal to bring kids to these things. 0.99

00:02:12.000 I'm pretty sure it already is.

00:02:14.000 But okay.

00:02:15.000 And what's happening now is, unsurprisingly, the left and Democrats are actually defending these shows for kids.

00:02:21.000 So I don't know how you defend that.

00:02:24.000 I don't know what regular person's gonna think that's okay.

00:02:26.000 But that's where we're currently at.

00:02:27.000 We've got to talk about that.

00:02:28.000 We've got to talk about Steve Bannon.

00:02:29.000 He's subpoenaing Nancy Pelosi, striking back.

00:02:32.000 Peter Navarro was arrested.

00:02:33.000 We've got all of that crazy stuff to talk about.

00:02:36.000 CNN's collapse, of course.

00:02:37.000 And a bunch of other news.

00:02:39.000 Joining us to talk about all of these things is Bethany Mendel.

00:02:43.000 Would you like to introduce yourself?

00:02:46.000 So I am a homeschooling mom of five and the editor of a series of children's books called Heroes of Liberty, which is sort of a take on children's literature that doesn't have drag queens and there's no transgender characters instead we're just sort of like looking at characters from like recent past and not so recent past so Alexander Hamilton, Ronald Reagan, John Wayne

00:03:11.000 And just sort of, you know, telling our children about all of these people and founding principles and ideas in a way that is engaging and wonderful illustrations.

00:03:22.000 And yeah, and I'm also a contributing writer for Deseret News.

00:03:26.000 Awesome.

00:03:27.000 They're pro-natalist writer.

00:03:29.000 We gotta talk about these, what's going on with this Libs of TikTok stuff, because apparently now these drag kid events are getting canceled.

00:03:36.000 Yeah.

00:03:36.000 You know, the crazy thing is, one of the latest tweets from Libs of TikTok is, Hey guys, lots of crazy political news.

00:07:15.000 Now let's read the first story.

00:07:16.000 We got this from Breitbart.

00:07:19.000 CNN's Enten polling shows GOP will take huge House majority best position in over 80 years.

00:07:27.000 This is fascinating.

00:07:28.000 He said, quote, I would say they're looking very good from the historical context.

00:07:32.000 Basically, I took the best Republican positions on the generic congressional ballot at this point in the midterm cycle since 1938.

00:07:38.000 The generic ballot basically is, would you vote for the generic Republican or generic Democrat in your district?

00:07:44.000 And guess what?

00:07:46.000 Since 1938, the Republican two-point lead on the generic congressional ballot is the best position for Republicans at this point in any midterm cycle in over 80 years.

00:07:57.000 It beats 2010, when Republicans were up a point.

00:07:59.000 It beats 2014, 2002, 1998, where Democrats led by a point.

00:08:03.000 And in all of those four prior examples that make this list of the top five, look at that.

00:08:08.000 Who won a majority?

00:08:09.000 It was the Republicans who won a majority.

00:08:12.000 He added, Now of course the election is not being held tomorrow, and we'll see.

00:08:16.000 Sometimes history isn't always prologue, but my estimate for the 2023 House make-up, if the election were held today, which again it isn't, we're still five months, five months from tomorrow, would be Republicans 236 seats to 241 seats, Democrats 194 to 199.

00:08:32.000 That's based off of a formula of seat-to-seat race ratings from the Cook Political Report and Inside Elections.

00:08:39.000 Now this is coming from CNN.

00:08:40.000 Yeah.

00:08:40.000 data reporter on Jake Tapper's show.

00:08:43.000 Perhaps, hearing that's coming from CNN, it must be even worse.

00:08:47.000 The fascinating thing is there was an article from the Washington Post that was like,

00:08:51.000 Democrats are going to lose the midterms, here's why it's a good thing. 0.97

00:08:54.000 My favorite line in their opening paragraph is, every poll can't be wrong.

00:08:58.000 They're basically saying, they're saying Republicans.

00:09:00.000 That sounds familiar.

00:09:01.000 Right, they're like, Republicans are gonna win, and you know, as much as people might not wanna believe it,

00:09:06.000 every poll can't be wrong.

00:09:07.000 And I just laughed, because I'm like, not only are all of the polls wrong,

00:09:11.000 but they're actually wrong in favor of Republicans, I'm sorry, they're wrong in favor of Democrats,

00:09:16.000 meaning, if every poll right now is saying Republicans are gonna win, and it's like,

00:09:20.000 the generic ballot is plus two GOP, it's probably plus seven GOP, or plus 10.

00:09:25.000 So this is going to be amazing.

00:09:27.000 Luke, you were excited to be disappointed.

00:09:29.000 Yes, absolutely.

00:09:30.000 I mean, I think it's very fair to say that there definitely is a political transformation.

00:09:34.000 I question a lot of the polls that are out there, but I think this political transformation that's happening is a precursor to the economic transformation that we're seeing.

00:09:43.000 Under the Biden administration and under the previous administration that essentially is creating one of the largest transfers of wealth from the poorest people to the richest people.

00:09:52.000 We saw this from the beginning of COVID.

00:09:54.000 We saw this with the secret Federal Reserve bailouts.

00:09:56.000 We're seeing the effects of this.

00:09:58.000 The effects of this are being felt everywhere.

00:10:01.000 I forgot which corporate media network was interviewing a random person at the gas pump just a couple hours ago.

00:10:06.000 The video is going viral on Twitter, because the person being interviewed is like, this is absolutely insane.

00:10:11.000 This is going to motivate me to get politically involved, and I'm going to be voting for the Republicans.

00:10:16.000 And this was a person who was previously a Democrat before, who publicly is stating this.

00:10:20.000 So obviously, this larger political transformation has a lot to do with our current financial situation, which is absolutely ruined and left a lot of people in havoc.

00:10:30.000 I fully agree with that, man.

00:10:31.000 It strikes me as like political football.

00:10:33.000 The pendulum is swinging in both directions.

00:10:34.000 CNN's happy because they're either going to trash Trump or trash Trump.

00:10:39.000 But it's an economic crisis, and it's a transformation economically, either into some world economic forum, you'll own nothing and be happy renters world, or something that we control into some sort of maybe, you know, Democratically, cryptography, cryptographic, you know, decentralized, something new that hasn't been created yet.

00:10:55.000 Who knew stealing people's ability to have upward economic mobility was unpopular?

00:11:00.000 Who knew giving corporate bailouts was unpopular?

00:11:03.000 Who knew raising gas prices, stopping domestic energy production was unpopular?

00:11:07.000 Obviously, people are feeling it.

00:11:08.000 No lies, no propaganda could cut through the reality of the horrible situation that we're all facing.

00:11:13.000 And what are Republicans going to do?

00:11:15.000 Yeah, I mean, that's the question.

00:11:16.000 You are going to be disappointed.

00:11:18.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:11:19.000 No, I mean, but it's so frustrating because this is such a moment and I don't feel like Republicans are really... I mean, they're talking about sort of opening domestic energy production.

00:11:31.000 I don't feel like anyone in power sort of understands what is actually happening with American families.

00:11:36.000 I am in a Facebook group for large families, and it's a really fascinating window into a lot of different sort of ways of life.

00:11:44.000 And the number of posts that people are making, like, how can I stretch rice and beans?

00:11:48.000 What different recipes can I do?

00:11:50.000 How can I be creative cooking for 10 people?

00:11:55.000 I'll tell you, different types of vinegar.

00:11:57.000 Different types of vinegar and different types of oils give you all these different combinations of flavor.

00:12:01.000 Ian, we were ordering supplies and Ian was like, just buy a bunch of vinegar and we got like 20 gallons.

00:12:05.000 Your white wine vinegar, your red wine vinegar, your tarragon vinegar, your malt vinegar, your balsamic vinegar, your coconut oil, your avocado oil, your olive oil.

00:12:13.000 You see what they do in Haiti?

00:12:14.000 Mud cake.

00:12:16.000 You take mud, and you put a little sugar and salt and butter in it, and then you flatten it out, and the mud is, like, not food, but it fills your stomach, so, you know, it doesn't hurt anymore.

00:12:25.000 I mean, we're not there yet, but the... They will regret making people care this much.

00:12:31.000 It is impacting every corner of people's lives in a way that this will drive anger.

00:12:37.000 I mean, they're talking about, you know, abortion will fuel the midterm.

00:12:41.000 Like, none of that will fuel the midterms.

00:12:43.000 It is people driving to the gas tank and then not being able to go grocery shopping.

00:12:48.000 It's amazing to me that they're really driving the gun control narrative right now.

00:12:51.000 The media is pushing it like crazy, and I'm like, I'm pretty sure the dude who turns on the news, it's just all going past him.

00:12:59.000 Every word they say with a like, gun control and mass shootings, and he's sitting there just thinking, I don't have any money left.

00:13:05.000 I'm not gonna be able to afford it myself.

00:13:06.000 They're trying to change the conversation.

00:13:07.000 They're trying to make it emotional.

00:13:08.000 Abortion, guns, yes. 0.98

00:13:09.000 But my point is, you can't.

00:13:11.000 Because when there's somebody who just is, they're holding the receipt in their hand for a $100 tank of gas, And then you're like, listen to me!

00:13:18.000 Gun control and abortion! 0.98

00:13:19.000 And they're like, what did you say?

00:13:21.000 What was that?

00:13:21.000 I'm looking at my receipt.

00:13:22.000 There was an interesting statistic that was like 80% of people are worried right now.

00:13:26.000 Financially.

00:13:27.000 80%.

00:13:28.000 You cannot just wish cast that away with gun control or abortion or anything.

00:13:32.000 At the end of the day, it's going to be the price of gas and the ripple effect of all of that.

00:13:37.000 Well, not only that, but we're just coming from the era of COVID, where small businesses, small operations were shut down by two weeks of slowing the trend.

00:13:49.000 Walmart was allowed to be open.

00:13:50.000 Costco was allowed to be open.

00:13:52.000 This was happening under the Trump administration.

00:13:54.000 The Biden administration is continuing the same kind of economic pain and suffering with all of their policies, all their regulations, all their taxes, all the moves that they're making that hinder the average person from having any kind of upward economic mobility.

00:14:09.000 Trump did nothing, and Joe Biden is pushing regulations.

00:14:13.000 So it was the governors in these states that were doing it.

00:14:16.000 Look at Florida.

00:14:16.000 Come on, tell me Florida's doing bad.

00:14:18.000 Well, Florida's doing okay, but it was Mike Pence that first said, we need two weeks to slow the spread.

00:14:26.000 He's the first one that instituted that idea, and everyone's kind of went along with it, which was actually bonkers.

00:14:31.000 So again, Florida did well because they were able to stand out and say, no, no, no, we're not going to punish everyone.

00:14:36.000 There was also other ecological events that happened before COVID that hit Florida very severely, and their businesses were suffering before COVID.

00:14:44.000 And that was another reason why DeSantis made a very strong stance saying, no, we can't shut down the small businesses of mom and pops.

00:14:50.000 We can't have thug police officers walking around intimidating grandma telling her shut down her little trinket shop. 0.98

00:14:55.000 We can't be doing that in this state.

00:14:57.000 This is unethical.

00:14:58.000 The reaction, the causes of that, of stopping the global supply chains, of stopping the world economy, we're feeling the reverberations of that right now.

00:15:05.000 So many other states that were feeling that and they went whole hog.

00:15:08.000 I mean California was doing that, New York was feeling that.

00:15:11.000 The states who stood up and said absolutely not were all Republican states.

00:15:15.000 People have eyes and they can see that in Florida, in South Dakota, things went back to normal much quicker than they did in California and New York.

00:15:23.000 Well, Florida led the way.

00:15:24.000 The corporate media said that DeSantis was good.

00:15:27.000 South Dakota also.

00:15:28.000 But Florida was the first public big state that everyone was saying was going to lead to the killing of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people.

00:15:35.000 The Grim Reaper on the beach.

00:15:36.000 I think you're wrong.

00:15:37.000 South Dakota never locked down, I'm pretty sure.

00:15:39.000 That's correct.

00:15:40.000 And they never had a mask mandate.

00:15:42.000 And Florida did lock down for a little bit, didn't they?

00:15:44.000 Yeah.

00:15:44.000 Yeah, for like two or three months.

00:15:45.000 Yeah, right.

00:15:45.000 Yep.

00:15:46.000 And then they came out and said, we're done with this.

00:15:48.000 And they said, and she and the Kristi Noem.

00:15:51.000 Right.

00:15:51.000 That's her name.

00:15:52.000 And yeah, she said, we will absolutely not have a mask mandate.

00:15:54.000 I trust people to make the right decision for themselves and their community.

00:15:57.000 And as far as the major attacks were on on Florida, the major attack.

00:16:01.000 Oh, 100 percent.

00:16:02.000 Yeah, I think I you know, they did try going after South Dakota.

00:16:05.000 They were like, this is where the hot spots can be.

00:16:07.000 They were claiming it was going crazy.

00:16:08.000 And the population density is so low there.

00:16:10.000 Yeah.

00:16:10.000 But that's why they go after Florida, because these are major urban centers.

00:16:13.000 Miami's massive.

00:16:14.000 Yeah, but Miami had different rules than the rest of Florida.

00:16:17.000 So like, I was planning a vacation, I think it was December of 2021, thinking like, we're gonna go to Florida and be free.

00:16:24.000 And then I started looking at the Children's Museum in Boca.

00:16:26.000 Oh, it's still closed.

00:16:27.000 Oh, let's go to this.

00:16:28.000 Oh, it's masks for two year olds.

00:16:30.000 And it like it became sort of, we just sat in our backyard and swam because nothing in Florida, where we were staying was actually really open.

00:16:39.000 I just remember how crazy it was when the lockdown first started.

00:16:42.000 And we had a small backyard that was like, what, like a point two of an acre or something.

00:16:47.000 And we're just sitting in the backyard like nobody can go anywhere.

00:16:50.000 There's nothing open.

00:16:51.000 And then we were like, we got to get out of this place.

00:16:53.000 Yeah, we bought a house in March of 2020.

00:16:56.000 Now imagine if you were living in New York City.

00:16:58.000 Imagine if you were living in a huge apartment where you can't escape or you don't have a backyard.

00:17:02.000 You have roommates.

00:17:04.000 They closed the parks and they did padlocks on the playgrounds.

00:17:09.000 And it was that Israeli rabbi.

00:17:11.000 Heshi Tishler.

00:17:12.000 Yeah, Heshi Tishler.

00:17:12.000 He was on the show in Brooklyn.

00:17:14.000 He's not Israeli, but yeah.

00:17:16.000 Okay, sorry, Jewish pastor came out there and then cut it open and made a stand and they arrested him.

00:17:24.000 Yeah. 0.94

00:17:24.000 He went to jail for making a stand just for allowing children to be able to be outside and not cramped up in little small apartment buildings, which was absolutely ridiculous and crazy and insane to see that entire process play out. 0.94

00:17:36.000 And very few people actually stand up for their own personal liberty and will.

00:17:39.000 But what we're seeing from those larger effects happened during the start of COVID.

00:17:45.000 The larger economic effects that we're feeling right now is because of what happened then.

00:17:48.000 Yes.

00:17:49.000 So let's jump to this next story.

00:17:50.000 We have this from CNET.

00:17:51.000 Gas prices are at record highs.

00:17:53.000 Here's why they won't drop anytime soon.

00:17:55.000 Okay, sure.

00:17:57.000 13 states, a gallon a regular is averaging more than five bucks.

00:18:01.000 In Mendocino, California, $9.60 a gallon.

00:18:06.000 They say 13 states, California, they say it's over $5.

00:18:10.000 California is averaging $6.37 a gallon.

00:18:12.000 Right now, the national average is $4.92.

00:18:12.000 a gallon. Right now the national average is $4.92. This number is apocalyptic in politics.

00:18:21.000 People that you I guarantee you, you go to the you go to a random place, working class

00:18:26.000 place and you ask them anything about Pelosi, the Supreme Court, and they're gonna say,

00:18:29.000 I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

00:18:31.000 I can't afford gas.

00:18:33.000 How am I supposed to get to work?

00:18:34.000 And it's June, so we're only going up from here.

00:18:37.000 I mean, that's the thing.

00:18:39.000 Has gas ever gone down in the summer?

00:18:41.000 No.

00:18:42.000 Right.

00:18:42.000 The summer driving months are when it goes nuts.

00:18:44.000 Peak driving season, we're entering those.

00:18:46.000 Yes, we're entering.

00:18:48.000 $8 an average, they're saying.

00:18:49.000 My kids are sick of... I drive, you know, back and forth, whatever, and I just look at them like, I have never seen gas above $3.50.

00:18:58.000 I mean, is that... that's right, right?

00:19:01.000 Like, never above $3.50?

00:19:01.000 The record was $4 something under Bush.

00:19:05.000 But I've never seen it, though, because it's always in places like California.

00:19:09.000 I've never seen it over $4.

00:19:11.000 What was the national average during the Bush years?

00:19:14.000 It would be important.

00:19:14.000 It did hit as high as $4.

00:19:17.000 It was four in Chicago, but national average has probably been 350-ish.

00:19:20.000 I don't remember it ever over 350.

00:19:22.000 But now, I mean, I drive by something 520 today.

00:19:26.000 CNET's saying it's going to be $6.20 per gallon by August.

00:19:30.000 I think it's gonna be higher.

00:19:32.000 I keep on doing this thing.

00:19:33.000 I'm never a person who lets my tank go past half, and I keep on sort of like pushing it.

00:19:39.000 I'm like, well, maybe a gas will go down tomorrow.

00:19:40.000 Maybe it'll go down tomorrow.

00:19:41.000 And it just keeps on going up.

00:19:43.000 I would not be surprised if we hit seven or eight come August.

00:19:47.000 Buying gas has become more like the stock market.

00:19:50.000 Yo, 325 was the highest under George W. Bush, on average.

00:19:57.000 And then 368 under Obama.

00:20:00.000 And then under Trump, the average was 280 at its highest.

00:20:03.000 Its lowest was like $1.50.

00:20:06.000 Yes, I remember it was under two and I was like, cha-ching, when I was filling up my tank.

00:20:11.000 I have a minivan and it was costing like $35 to fill the minivan.

00:20:16.000 Now it's $85.

00:20:17.000 To be fair, under Bush in his first few years, it was $1.40 on average.

00:20:21.000 Yeah.

00:20:22.000 Decently.

00:20:22.000 And then it started skyrocketing towards the end and then under Obama.

00:20:25.000 So it's funny because people keep pointing out that they show these images of $4 a gallon gas under Bush and they're like, I remember when gas was this high.

00:20:33.000 Why are you blaming Biden?

00:20:34.000 No.

00:20:35.000 And I'm like, yo, those weren't the average prices.

00:20:37.000 You're looking at California and New York and Chicago.

00:20:39.000 There's that one gas station in D.C.

00:20:41.000 on the hill that's next to the Heritage Foundation.

00:20:43.000 Yeah, and everyone always takes pictures in front of that one.

00:20:46.000 I was like, well, that's not actually the average.

00:20:48.000 But I drove past, I was driving my kid into Rockville, Maryland today, and I passed 520.

00:20:54.000 Wow.

00:20:55.000 I was getting a haircut.

00:20:56.000 And as I'm getting a haircut, people in this area, they're like, Do you see the gas prices?

00:21:00.000 Do you see what they are?

00:21:01.000 So even local people are talking about how there's one store that's offering, you know, 30% off a gallon if you buy a carton of cigarettes.

00:21:09.000 And they're like, we gotta go to this store.

00:21:11.000 You gotta smoke it right at the gas station.

00:21:13.000 I mean, these are conversations that are happening with average people, with normal people that are getting politically involved because they were thrown into a mess, which sadly, you know, a lot of ignorance has led to this because we saw the warning signs from a very long time ago, ever since 2008, the signs were there.

00:21:27.000 But there was a warning sign in Joe Biden talking about climate change.

00:21:31.000 So again, I'm not going to make a moral statement on climate change, but Joe Biden and Democrats have long said, we need exactly this.

00:21:40.000 They want high gas prices so people don't drive, so there's less carbon emissions.

00:21:44.000 Joe Biden shut down Keystone.

00:21:46.000 He banned fracking on public lands.

00:21:48.000 He shut down various oil and gas leases.

00:21:50.000 Josh Hawley has the list better than me.

00:21:52.000 He took action specifically over climate and environmental issues, and that is a major contributor to why you are paying so much at the gas pump.

00:22:00.000 He called it... Sorry, go ahead.

00:22:01.000 No, no, it's working.

00:22:02.000 I looked into getting a hybrid.

00:22:04.000 I was like, we can't keep on doing this.

00:22:06.000 But the problem is they keep on talking about like, this is the solution, but it's not because the cars aren't available.

00:22:11.000 And they're not... I can't drive in a hybrid.

00:22:13.000 I have five kids.

00:22:14.000 We need more space than that.

00:22:16.000 It's not... Well, so...

00:22:17.000 Yeah.

00:22:17.000 the end result of all of this.

00:22:19.000 Look, if you if you follow after the environmental narrative,

00:22:21.000 it is going to be suffering.

00:22:23.000 Yeah, they that's it.

00:22:25.000 That's the only way in France.

00:22:27.000 They put a petrol tax resulted on, you know, a tax on the fuel

00:22:32.000 resulted in what 18 months of rioting because it's it's simple

00:22:35.000 when they come out and say you've got a cut back.

00:22:37.000 They're saying it's going to get really it's gonna get a lot worse

00:22:41.000 for you. Your standards will be.

00:22:42.000 They're saying you are the carbon that they want to get rid of.

00:22:45.000 And again, we were talking about this yesterday.

00:22:47.000 Biden is talking about these high gas prices being a quote, incredible transition.

00:22:51.000 He was talking about how he wants to build back better, how he wants to set up more green policies as we're literally importing oil from Saudi Arabia.

00:22:59.000 All of that in the name of green policies instead of domestic energy production.

00:23:03.000 And then there's these politicians like this Democratic senator came out was bragging how the gas prices don't matter to her because she has an electric vehicle. 0.98

00:23:11.000 So let's think about what happens in November.

00:23:16.000 Gas prices are going to hit a peak in August.

00:23:18.000 Yeah.

00:23:18.000 A couple months beforehand.

00:23:20.000 I don't think there's a single word a Democrat could say at that point.

00:23:24.000 That's it.

00:23:24.000 They're going to put out all the ads in the world.

00:23:27.000 And I wouldn't be surprised if they actually, if we have like a record, I don't mean this literally, but I'm saying I would not be surprised if there's a record low spend from Democrats because they're like, just don't write it off.

00:23:36.000 Don't waste the money.

00:23:38.000 Save it for 2024.

00:23:39.000 You would think that they would have their messaging a little better, right?

00:23:42.000 Like, they're talking about gun control, they're talking about abortion, and they're talking about, like, well, I don't care about gas prices because I have an electric vehicle.

00:23:48.000 Yeah, this is a great transition.

00:23:49.000 We're building back better.

00:23:50.000 This is awesome.

00:23:51.000 This is great for the environment.

00:23:52.000 Robust recovery.

00:23:54.000 Like, the jobs report is good.

00:23:56.000 Therefore, all of your suffering doesn't matter because someone got a job.

00:23:59.000 Inflation is transitory.

00:24:01.000 It's temporary.

00:24:01.000 Oh, it's actually good for you.

00:24:03.000 Yeah, it's crazy.

00:24:03.000 It's absolutely insane, the talking points that they're releasing.

00:24:06.000 I'd call it gaslighting if it wasn't so insane.

00:24:10.000 But that's the definition, though.

00:24:12.000 It's just crazy.

00:24:13.000 I liken it to that Family Guy joke where Peter's in an elevator with one other guy and he farts and then says, it was you.

00:24:20.000 Like, that's what they're doing.

00:24:22.000 They're saying the economy is better than ever and you're like, bro, I'm pumping my gas right now.

00:24:27.000 Yeah, I'm standing here.

00:24:30.000 So I think when they say the best polling in 80 years, when you consider the fact that the polling has been skewed by what, like seven points?

00:24:37.000 Yeah.

00:24:38.000 No, it's going to be, you know, people are calling it a red wave, right?

00:24:41.000 There's going to be a GOP red wave.

00:24:43.000 And then some people started saying, wow, look at the polls.

00:24:45.000 It's going to be a tsunami.

00:24:46.000 I'm like, no, it's going to be a great flood.

00:24:47.000 Democrats better start building that arc.

00:24:49.000 So what is the Senate numbers?

00:24:50.000 Do you know what the Senate numbers are looking like?

00:24:52.000 Um, I think it's going to be like a couple seats.

00:24:54.000 It's like Republicans might have, I think, 52 or 53.

00:24:55.000 Okay.

00:24:56.000 All right.

00:24:56.000 Because then if they... That's, that's, who knows, man.

00:25:01.000 Look, it's, we're five months out.

00:25:03.000 That's an eternity.

00:25:04.000 And we got to speculate on what's going to happen in August, then speculate what's going to happen in October.

00:25:10.000 But I'll add this.

00:25:11.000 We don't have any fertilizer because of the war between Ukraine and Russia.

00:25:15.000 That severely limited our resources there.

00:25:18.000 So, they predicted this months ago, back in February-March.

00:25:22.000 The fall harvest is gonna be brutal.

00:25:24.000 It's gonna be down 40%.

00:25:26.000 We're gonna see food costs skyrocket.

00:25:28.000 There's gonna be a shortage of diesel, meaning you're not gonna have the food.

00:25:31.000 And if it does come, I gotta tell everybody right now, if you don't have emergency supplies, or whatever, it sounds like you might be fighting over the last can of beans with Agnes in the parking lot at a Walmart.

00:25:40.000 Maybe that's a little too much, though.

00:25:42.000 But I'll tell you this, you're certainly gonna be fighting over toilet paper, because that already happened.

00:25:45.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:25:47.000 It's not crazy because we all just went through it.

00:25:49.000 Or baby formula.

00:25:50.000 I know.

00:25:50.000 You know, part of me is like, oh man, to say you're going to be fighting over beans sounds crazy.

00:25:55.000 People are already, there's videos of people fighting over baby formula.

00:25:58.000 Yeah, because it's life and death.

00:25:59.000 That's the problem with baby formula as opposed to almost any other product on the market.

00:26:04.000 It is not replaceable.

00:26:05.000 You can't just give a baby who's like three months old whole milk and be like, good luck to you.

00:26:09.000 I mean, you can, but... What about Nesquik if you mix it in?

00:26:12.000 That's good, right?

00:26:13.000 Probably not.

00:26:14.000 No?

00:26:14.000 Wouldn't do it.

00:26:15.000 What about the GMO lab mate Bill Gates milk that he's developing and making on very coincidentally as well?

00:26:22.000 We could test it on goats.

00:26:23.000 Coincidentally, look, if you're an investor and you see the news, who would not be investing in future materials, metamaterials, whatever you can do, like fake meat, graphene, for instance?

00:26:34.000 Graphene?

00:26:36.000 Graphene, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:26:37.000 What is that?

00:26:37.000 It's hexagonally lattice monoatomic carbon.

00:26:40.000 It's like a layer of carbon, a flat layer of atomic carbon.

00:26:43.000 And it's hexagonal, so it looks like a honeycomb.

00:26:46.000 Okay.

00:26:46.000 It's actually some right here.

00:26:47.000 It's a powder, black powder.

00:26:48.000 It's pure carbon.

00:26:49.000 Did I just open a Pandora's box?

00:26:51.000 Yes.

00:26:52.000 Let's label it 21st century steel.

00:26:54.000 It's an incredible building material with electric... Sorry.

00:26:56.000 I'll get into it later.

00:26:57.000 Drink.

00:26:57.000 They use it for making better batteries.

00:27:00.000 It's a very powerful, wonderful... Touchscreen wallpaper.

00:27:04.000 It's going to be revolutionary.

00:27:05.000 My point here is, when you're watching the collapse in this way, you're going to be investing in food, farmland, raw materials, chickens.

00:27:14.000 Bill Gates is buying farmland, he's making fake meat, and he's making fake breast milk.

00:27:19.000 How convenient!

00:27:20.000 That aligns perfectly with his agenda.

00:27:22.000 I mean, he's a businessman.

00:27:24.000 He wants to invest in what he needs to invest in.

00:27:25.000 It makes sense, doesn't it?

00:27:27.000 He's definitely cornered the market, to say the least.

00:27:29.000 I could say a lot more about this.

00:27:31.000 But from everything that I'm seeing, I think in the future, there's going to be a lot more economic instability.

00:27:35.000 I think that's, without a doubt, definitely happening here in the United States.

00:27:39.000 I think we're going to be seeing more limited supplies, random items that are not going to be available.

00:27:46.000 I don't think it's going to be as bad as it will be in places like in Africa and the Middle East.

00:27:50.000 Which are definitely expected to deal with the full brunt of this larger geopolitical proxy war that's happening inside of Ukraine, especially with the wheat and the fertilizer crisis, which will hit them.

00:28:01.000 The richer countries will be able to afford a lot of the wheat, a lot of the food they will be importing out.

00:28:06.000 Other countries that are poor in the Middle East and Africa, they're going to be facing some significant problems that is going to be overwhelming.

00:28:13.000 So, um, I don't know how bad it'll get for us in the United States, but let's take a look at what our leaders are telling us.

00:28:19.000 In this story from the Daily Mail, Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow brags that it doesn't matter to her how high gas prices are because she drives by every station in her electric vehicle. 1.00

00:28:29.000 Let them eat cake.

00:28:30.000 Let them drive Teslas.

00:28:31.000 Okay, so if the meme of the person drowning getting a high-five from the person on the boat were a person, I was like, holy cow, I cannot imagine a better embodiment.

00:28:42.000 That's insane.

00:28:43.000 Remember when Colbert said the same thing?

00:28:45.000 Yeah.

00:28:45.000 He's like, I don't care if it's 20 bucks a gallon, I drive an electric car.

00:28:47.000 George Takai said the same thing.

00:28:48.000 So I was on Facebook and I see these memes, because I have like thousands of people follow me, And someone posted gas prices are not Joe Biden's fault or

00:28:58.000 like, you know, something like that.

00:28:59.000 And then I responded with, you know, being snarky.

00:29:02.000 If you can't afford an electric car, you can't afford to drive.

00:29:06.000 You we are and I was like, we are all in this together with the environment.

00:29:09.000 And and you drive around with carbon emissions everywhere, caring nothing for this world.

00:29:14.000 And then the lady who posted it, she was like, I can't afford an electric car.

00:29:17.000 And I said, oh, it's only $50,000.

00:29:19.000 And she's like, I can't afford it.

00:29:22.000 I mean, then what do you think is going to happen when you drive up gas prices or celebrate it?

00:29:25.000 Yeah.

00:29:26.000 I mean, this was the lesson of covid was the war between the haves and the have nots.

00:29:30.000 You were essential and you could go to work or you were not essential and you couldn't go to work.

00:29:34.000 I mean, this was in every way what they chose to shut down and what they chose to keep going.

00:29:40.000 The best part is that plumbers and labor and stuff was like, some of it was essential, but all of the journalists were essential.

00:29:47.000 It was like, okay, that's okay.

00:29:48.000 Everyone else go home, but if you're a blue check Washington Post reporter, you're good. 0.91

00:29:54.000 You guys ever follow saltwater as a fuel?

00:29:56.000 You looked into that at all?

00:29:57.000 No.

00:29:57.000 Some people are burning salt.

00:29:58.000 We just got John Kansas.

00:29:59.000 We should pull this up in the after show maybe.

00:30:00.000 He was running microwaves through saltwater looking for a cure for cancer.

00:30:04.000 One frequency lit it on fire.

00:30:06.000 Saltwater.

00:30:07.000 Just a frequency.

00:30:09.000 And then, you know, haven't heard a lot about it for 12 years, but... Maybe because it's nonsense.

00:30:13.000 There's a video on YouTube of him doing it, and the other scientists are like, we should talk about it on the After Show, but I mean... There's a video on YouTube about how the Earth is flatting.

00:30:21.000 Come on.

00:30:21.000 I'm not saying they're snot flat.

00:30:23.000 You're saying it's not?

00:30:23.000 Well, I'm saying if it's true that saltwater has a lot of, I mean, a lot of potential energy in it, if we really could burn the stuff, why is it like a cabal that's intentionally, is this just like a wealth transfer?

00:30:34.000 They're going to charge as much as they can for oil until people can't pay any more?

00:30:39.000 Let's entertain the idea that you can burn salt water.

00:30:43.000 I don't know if it's true or not.

00:30:43.000 I'm not, you know, there's probably someone in the chat like burn might not be the right word, but like, you know, release heat from release.

00:30:49.000 Yeah, the issue is that what you know, I did I did some reporting on the desalination plants in California.

00:30:55.000 It's actually really bad.

00:30:57.000 We cannot just pull water from the ocean.

00:30:59.000 It creates brine, which then sinks to the bottom and causes serious problems.

00:31:04.000 So the idea that we can extract from the oceans is not a long-term solution to anything.

00:31:09.000 So even if we could take salt water and use it for some kind of fuel, you're gonna have byproducts, you're gonna have waste products, so that doesn't seem like a solution.

00:31:15.000 Geez, I mean, oil has given us enough of a byproduct problem as we go.

00:31:20.000 Well, look at batteries, you know.

00:31:21.000 These electric cars, you know, they're not made out of some fairy-winged Al Gore coming up and pooping them out of his, you know, nether regions.

00:31:34.000 These electric batteries don't come out of nowhere.

00:31:37.000 They're not magic.

00:31:38.000 They aren't just made out of environmentally friendly people.

00:31:41.000 We know that because you can't get them.

00:31:43.000 Exactly.

00:31:44.000 And there's a limit in getting them.

00:31:45.000 And there's a shortage in getting them.

00:31:47.000 When you do get them, it is extremely destructive to the environment.

00:31:49.000 There's a huge entire long process.

00:31:52.000 And a lot of even the solar panel stuff.

00:31:54.000 A lot of it is just bigger scams.

00:31:56.000 And when you look at the quote, carbon footprint of getting, you know, they say you get it from sand.

00:32:02.000 No, you don't.

00:32:02.000 The way of getting it, it's so complicated.

00:32:05.000 It has such an effect on the environment.

00:32:07.000 It really makes you question this entire larger scheme as a Ponzi scheme.

00:32:12.000 Recycling is also.

00:32:13.000 Yeah, recycling also another scam that a lot of people don't like to talk about.

00:32:16.000 A lot of the recycled material literally was shipped over to China.

00:32:19.000 China just dumped it into the ocean, and now we have whole islands filled with plastic.

00:32:23.000 So there are legitimate issues that we could talk about when it comes to the destruction of our environment.

00:32:28.000 We don't talk about that.

00:32:30.000 There's elaborative Ponzi schemes that literally transfer the wealth from poor people to rich people, all in the name of fighting the environment, literally giving the money to the people destroying the environment, which is bonkers.

00:32:41.000 I was in Chicago like, this is like 15 years ago, and they had these big city garbage bins, and there's one hole that says recycle and one hole that says garbage.

00:32:50.000 And it goes to the same place?

00:32:51.000 And they both go to the same chute.

00:32:53.000 That was like, I looked at it and I'm like, wait a minute.

00:32:55.000 It just goes on a slide into one garbage can.

00:32:57.000 But I still, I know this intellectually and yet I still cannot not do it.

00:33:02.000 It's like been ingrained from childhood where you have to separate the cardboard and the plastic and the garbage and I can't not.

00:33:08.000 If it's got food material on it you can't recycle it anyway.

00:33:10.000 I know it's all nonsense and yet I have this like OCD that I cannot not do it.

00:33:15.000 I was in Dallas and I ordered an Arnold Palmer and the lady comes and she brings it to me and I'm in Texas and she gives me a paper straw and then I laughed and I was like, paper straws, huh? 0.98

00:33:26.000 And then she goes, some dumb little girl complains about... 1.00

00:33:30.000 Shout out to Boyan Slat in the Ocean Cleanup Project. 0.98

00:33:38.000 Have you guys been following his work?

00:33:40.000 I interviewed him when he went to Bilderberg.

00:33:42.000 He actually gave me an interesting comment about his take there.

00:33:45.000 But he's also a fascinating, extremely young person that has been doing some really fascinating work when it comes to cleaning up the mess from essentially the Chinese dumping all the trash into the ocean. 1.00

00:33:58.000 The Pacific Gyre, that giant Texas-sized swirling patch of plastic trash.

00:34:04.000 He's out there with these giant ropes, cleaning it up.

00:34:06.000 But where does it go when he cleans it up?

00:34:08.000 He brings it back to shore, and then they gotta figure out what to do with the plastic.

00:34:10.000 You can break it back down into oil if you heat it up with low oxygen or no oxygen environment.

00:34:14.000 You can reconvert it into food.

00:34:16.000 There's bacteria that started eating it.

00:34:17.000 Yeah, there's bacteria. 0.65

00:34:18.000 There's also mushrooms.

00:34:19.000 Pestilopsis microsporae is a fungus that can consume it, turn it into sugar. 0.93

00:34:24.000 That's cool.

00:34:24.000 Let me read a little bit from this article.

00:34:25.000 This is funny.

00:34:25.000 They're done with the little plastic pellets and then you run it through an aqueous solution

00:34:28.000 and spray it with the fungus with the spores and then over like a week it breaks it down

00:34:32.000 into sugar.

00:34:33.000 That's cool.

00:34:34.000 Let me let me let me read a little bit from this article.

00:34:35.000 This is funny.

00:34:36.000 The average cost of an electric vehicle is fifty six thousand four hundred and thirty

00:34:39.000 seven dollars which is approximately a hundred ten thousand dollars higher than the industry

00:34:44.000 average.

00:34:45.000 So these I'm just I'm really hoping that whatever ends up happening in November we never forget

00:34:50.000 the let them drive Tesla's line and it becomes like a thing like let them drive Tesla's.

00:34:55.000 You know, these people are just like, they're complaining about gas prices, why don't they just drive Teslas?

00:34:59.000 Pete Buttigieg said it, he's like, people should buy electric cars.

00:35:03.000 There's not enough of them, there's no batteries, there's no cars, that's why the demand of them is going up.

00:35:08.000 I just placed an order for a Ford Transit that will arrive We're hoping.

00:35:14.000 Tesla's backordered incredibly long.

00:35:16.000 Prediction.

00:35:17.000 I think Joe Biden will likely invoke the Defense Production Act and some kind of, the Democrats will introduce some kind of bill.

00:35:24.000 Magic.

00:35:24.000 Massively fund electric vehicle production in this country and like cars, big rigs.

00:35:31.000 That would help Elon Musk.

00:35:32.000 I thought you said China wrong, Tim.

00:35:34.000 You said China because Biden's probably going to be giving all the business to China.

00:35:37.000 Probably.

00:35:37.000 More than anywhere else.

00:35:38.000 That's where he's buying the solar panels that he's importing.

00:35:40.000 I'm saying when the diesel shortages hit in August, you think gas prices are a problem?

00:35:46.000 You look, if the truckers are going to be spending $10 a gallon on diesel, a lot of them are going to be like, I'm not driving anymore.

00:35:51.000 Yeah.

00:35:52.000 Then your products are going to skyrocket.

00:35:53.000 So I think Joe Biden's going to step in and be like, we've got a problem with prices and shortages, man.

00:35:57.000 Come on.

00:35:57.000 We're going to have to do the defense production.

00:36:00.000 It's going to be like fruits and vegetables that are going to fly off the shelves and that will be completely scarce.

00:36:04.000 Gone.

00:36:05.000 Yeah.

00:36:05.000 It took him a really long time to actually admit that there was a baby formula shortage, and he didn't really do anything about it.

00:36:12.000 So I wonder if he's actually gonna do anything about this.

00:36:14.000 All you guys think you're gonna have strawberries come October?

00:36:18.000 People, people, no more strawberry ice cream.

00:36:19.000 Nope.

00:36:20.000 The things that need to be shipped and shipped quickly, not gonna happen.

00:36:23.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:36:24.000 Yeah, so, you know, whenever I go to the store, you know what really bugs me?

00:36:28.000 The strawberries, you gotta like check them.

00:36:29.000 You gotta open it up and make sure there's no mold in there.

00:36:31.000 And then sometimes you do after a couple days, they're all moldy!

00:36:34.000 And that's because they have to be transported very quickly.

00:36:37.000 But if you buy the strawberries that last more than three days, they're tasteless.

00:36:41.000 They're gross, yeah.

00:36:42.000 So there's no middle ground.

00:36:43.000 Or frozen strawberries.

00:36:44.000 I have really strong feelings about strawberries.

00:36:47.000 Avocados.

00:36:48.000 Gone.

00:36:48.000 So, $12.92 at Costco for a six-pack.

00:36:52.000 Whoa! 0.71

00:36:53.000 Two bucks an avocado!

00:36:55.000 That's the millennial apocalypse! 0.98

00:36:56.000 How are we going to have our avocado toast?

00:36:58.000 I know.

00:36:58.000 I just saw it on Instacart and I was like, oh, that's not going to happen.

00:37:02.000 Have you been tracking prices?

00:37:04.000 Yes.

00:37:05.000 Of course she has.

00:37:06.000 I just said $12.92 for a six-pack of avocados at Costco.

00:37:09.000 Semi-rhetorically.

00:37:10.000 So, we went out to eat and we went to a Mexican restaurant.

00:37:14.000 It was, I think, me and three other people.

00:37:17.000 And the bill was a hundred bucks.

00:37:19.000 That's low.

00:37:19.000 I mean, I keep kosher, so I think that's low, but yes.

00:37:22.000 But it's like a year ago, it was like 60 bucks.

00:37:27.000 Really?

00:37:28.000 Yeah, I mean, if we got a couple tacos, it would be like, you know, $10 a person.

00:37:31.000 We're looking at $40 with drinks.

00:37:32.000 To get takeout for my family of seven, and I have small children, it's nowhere under $150.

00:37:37.000 Wow.

00:37:39.000 Can't do it.

00:37:39.000 What area are you in, if you don't mind me asking?

00:37:41.000 Silver Spring, Maryland.

00:37:42.000 Just here, yeah.

00:37:43.000 Oh, wow.

00:37:43.000 I mean, also, I keep kosher, so you have to, like, put a 30% tax on life.

00:37:48.000 But, I mean, do I keep cheap taxes?

00:37:54.000 The local Chinese place, just the dinner special, went up over 35%.

00:37:59.000 It is now $19 to get just a dinner special of Chinese food.

00:38:05.000 Wasn't it like 10 bucks a year ago or something like that?

00:38:07.000 No, I mean his prices went up.

00:38:08.000 I mean, and I'm not blaming him.

00:38:11.000 I mean, I'm not blaming you, but it's crazy.

00:38:14.000 And it's only the beginning.

00:38:15.000 It's only going to get worse.

00:38:16.000 Inflation is the largest tax on the people of the world, and your wealth is literally being evaporated because of the financial policies of the U.S.

00:38:26.000 Federal Reserve and the Biden administration.

00:38:27.000 Well, I'll tell you what was really scary for me.

00:38:29.000 We went- we have our truck for transporting materials and stuff and for moving the trailers and the mobile studio.

00:38:34.000 We had to get an oil change.

00:38:36.000 We were told we can't do it.

00:38:38.000 We don't have any oil.

00:38:39.000 What?

00:38:39.000 We went to an oil change place and they told us they didn't have it and they couldn't help us.

00:38:43.000 And then I was like, what?

00:38:44.000 And they were like, you're gonna have to- Do you have a special truck?

00:38:46.000 It's a Dodge Ram!

00:38:47.000 It's diesel.

00:38:48.000 Yeah, but they were just like, we don't have the oil, you're gonna have to get, I'm sorry, we don't have it yet.

00:38:52.000 What does everyone else do?

00:38:53.000 I mean, like, it's not like you live in, like, Manhattan.

00:38:55.000 We had to drive, and we were in the middle of nowhere.

00:38:58.000 We're out here in West Virginia.

00:38:59.000 We had to drive to a couple stores to find the right oil.

00:39:04.000 We went to, I think we went to, like, an AutoZone or something, and then we were like, I forgot the oil that we need.

00:39:09.000 I'm sure everybody knows exactly what oil we need.

00:39:11.000 And they had, I think, like four gallons or whatever.

00:39:15.000 And we needed, I think, three, two or maybe two or something.

00:39:18.000 And so I was like, just get it all.

00:39:20.000 Because they told us that there was a shortage, and they couldn't help us.

00:39:23.000 They didn't have any.

00:39:24.000 And I'm like, wow, that's never happened to me in my life.

00:39:27.000 In my life, every vehicle I've ever had, my friends' vehicles,

00:39:29.000 they pull in, they're like, yep.

00:39:30.000 I mean, that's what I did with Baby.

00:39:32.000 I nursed my baby.

00:39:33.000 Like, he's never had a formula.

00:39:35.000 And when all of this stuff started, I bought a canister because I was like, if I get hit by a truck, I want that on hand.

00:39:42.000 People are mentioning in the Super Chats, DEF shortages.

00:39:46.000 What is DEF?

00:39:47.000 So, I think it was in, I think 10 years ago, there was a, uh, the U.S.

00:39:51.000 passed a bill requiring all new diesel, maybe it was longer than this, but all new diesel vehicles need to have diesel exhaust fluid, which is basically urea and water.

00:39:58.000 And you, so when you, when we're filling up the ram with gas, there's actually two holes, a small one and a big one.

00:40:03.000 If you go to a truck stop, you can pull out the DEF and stick it in and it smells like piss.

00:40:08.000 That's what it is.

00:40:09.000 Yeah.

00:40:09.000 But we import it.

00:40:11.000 And so there's already shortages.

00:40:13.000 If the truck doesn't have it, it gives you a warning and says speed will be reduced to five miles an hour.

00:40:19.000 What?

00:40:19.000 That is dystopian.

00:40:21.000 Is it a part of their global warming?

00:40:22.000 Yes.

00:40:23.000 What DEF does is it bonds with the fuel so that instead of making a pollutant or whatever, it makes water or something.

00:40:29.000 Or something like that.

00:40:30.000 It's like a nitrogen something.

00:40:31.000 I think a lot of people EGR deleted their diesel trucks and they don't have to do that.

00:40:37.000 And I think there's some local state jurisdictions that made that illegal, but it's it's kind of hard to find out sometimes.

00:40:43.000 People are going to start hacking their vehicles.

00:40:45.000 Oh, yeah.

00:40:45.000 They're going to try and find ways to reduce the cost in whatever whatever way they can.

00:40:49.000 Hmm.

00:40:50.000 Yeah.

00:40:50.000 I mean, I looked into... I mean, at the end of the day, I don't know how much you can hack.

00:40:55.000 $7 a gallon.

00:40:55.000 Hmm.

00:40:56.000 Right.

00:40:57.000 Biodiesel.

00:40:58.000 Make your diesel from corn.

00:40:59.000 I don't know, man.

00:41:00.000 People are gonna be driving... But that's not effective.

00:41:03.000 I'm surprised that the government is not having more of a dialogue about getting people to

00:41:08.000 become self-sustainable. It still seems like they're like, hey, wait for us to fix things for

00:41:12.000 you. Wait for us, wait for us.

00:41:13.000 Right. I mean, they're saying, you know, drive a Tesla, but you have to spend $55,000 minimum.

00:41:18.000 Wait, if you could get it, if you're lucky to get it, because those are the regular prices that you

00:41:22.000 could preorder. I know people that are making money just off preordering Teslas because of

00:41:27.000 the value of how much they've been rapidly increasing.

00:41:30.000 So they order one that they're gonna get in a year or two years, and then of course their value of it skyrockets up, and the value of the battery goes up, so they sell it as soon as they buy it.

00:41:39.000 And they make a profit off of it.

00:41:40.000 And when you pre-order, you don't even put down the money, right?

00:41:42.000 You put down like $100.

00:41:43.000 I think now they want $200, whatever it may be, $500.

00:41:47.000 I mean, I don't know.

00:41:48.000 I put down a deposit on a Ford Transit this week, so I'm an expert on a Ford Transit.

00:41:52.000 What do you think the White House is talking about in these trying times?

00:41:55.000 Matthew McConaughey makes powerful appeal for gun control at White House, because this is something I care so deeply about.

00:42:02.000 Seeing celebrities come out and talk about gun control when gas is five bucks a gallon.

00:42:08.000 It's just, oh, it's so smart.

00:42:09.000 Good job.

00:42:10.000 It's brilliant.

00:42:12.000 And the poverty that they're creating will lead to more crime, will lead to more people robbing to the steel is why they want to take the guns away.

00:42:18.000 Exactly.

00:42:19.000 They all have armed guards, so it's actually not really Matthew McConaughey's problem.

00:42:22.000 So this is the next story.

00:42:24.000 In an emotional appearance at the White House briefing room on Tuesday, Matthew McConaughey made an emotional appeal for greater gun control measures, at once evoking anguish and hope.

00:42:35.000 How, he asked, can we make the loss of these lives matter?

00:42:38.000 Oh, so he's outright saying he's exploiting the tragedy for political gain.

00:42:42.000 It was nice of Yahoo to write this press release as a news story.

00:42:45.000 Yeah, did you say in an emotional appearance he made an emotional plea?

00:42:48.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:42:49.000 Appeal to emotions rather than logic.

00:42:52.000 He brought the shoes of one of the children there.

00:42:55.000 And he also brought a painting of one of the children there that lost their lives.

00:43:00.000 This is also on the heels of one of the teachers coming out and also now during that incident talking about another important aspect of the story that again contradicts the police official version.

00:43:11.000 There's so much to this that again is filled with just emotion so you don't rationally think about exactly what happened here.

00:43:17.000 But it wasn't even a real emotion.

00:43:18.000 He was looking at a script, like, for half the talk.

00:43:21.000 It wasn't like a... I mean, you call it a speech, but it was basically a cold reading of a script.

00:43:25.000 It was so obnoxious.

00:43:26.000 And you were saying before we started, it wasn't even... No, he's like a TV and film actor trying to do theater, and he's shuffling his feet, looking all nervous, looking down.

00:43:33.000 Like, at least get off book if you're gonna try and lie to me.

00:43:36.000 Make me think that you believe what you're saying.

00:43:37.000 Dude, he said, this is a quote, we need to raise the minimum age to purchase an AR-15 rifle, too.

00:43:43.000 Then he looks at his notes.

00:43:45.000 21.

00:43:45.000 Like he doesn't even know what he's talking about.

00:43:47.000 It's like the most basic talking point.

00:43:49.000 He didn't even know what it was.

00:43:50.000 And meanwhile, he's able to afford private security.

00:43:53.000 He's able to afford guys walking around with guns that are going to protect him.

00:43:56.000 And he's making the argument that of course, no, no, you can't have that.

00:43:59.000 No, you're not responsible enough to do that.

00:44:01.000 He flippantly said red flag laws, which would get like people with medical marijuana licenses to get their doors kicked in if they don't want to get their gun over, you know, like, come on, man.

00:44:09.000 What is he, what is he thinking?

00:44:10.000 Well, I'm pretty sure if you have medical marijuana, you can't get a gun.

00:44:13.000 You can't.

00:44:14.000 Not in Maryland.

00:44:15.000 No, not anywhere.

00:44:16.000 What about people that have a gun that get a medical marijuana card?

00:44:18.000 Unless you're Hunter Biden.

00:44:19.000 Unless you're Hunter Biden, you can do whatever you want.

00:44:21.000 That's interesting.

00:44:22.000 That's fair.

00:44:23.000 So if you guys know in the chat, if you have weapons already and then get a medical marijuana card, I wonder what happens.

00:44:31.000 But you cannot buy a gun So, if you go to a gun store, it asks you, are you an illicit user of any... and it says in bold letters, note, marijuana is illegal at the federal level and you must... Well, that's a problem in itself.

00:44:47.000 They call it a narcotic at the federal level.

00:44:50.000 It's considered a narcotic.

00:44:50.000 Isn't it schedule one?

00:44:51.000 Schedule one narcotic.

00:44:53.000 I'm such a nerd.

00:44:54.000 I'm like, no, I'm really boring.

00:44:56.000 I don't do any of these things.

00:44:57.000 Please give me my gun back.

00:44:59.000 The history of marijuana being illegal is insane to begin with.

00:45:01.000 Harry J. Anslinger colluding with, what's the paper magnet?

00:45:05.000 The paper industry.

00:45:06.000 William Randolph Hearst.

00:45:06.000 Yeah, William Randolph Hearst.

00:45:08.000 And they basically went and they did this propaganda piece called Reefer Madness and scared a bunch of people and then they made it illegal.

00:45:14.000 This thing that basically was the foundation of our country.

00:45:17.000 I don't care for smoking weed or anything like that, but it sounds like gun control to me.

00:45:20.000 Yeah.

00:45:20.000 Because you've got a lot of young people who don't know or don't care.

00:45:25.000 You've got people who walk down the boardwalk in California and they're told just spend five bucks and get a weed card and they're all disqualifying themselves from having guns.

00:45:32.000 That's insane.

00:45:32.000 That's one way to do it, right?

00:45:34.000 Yeah, as they're registered with the state.

00:45:35.000 And there's been many instances, especially in Colorado, California, where you hear people denied the ability to defend themselves because of going through this process.

00:45:43.000 Then you hear about the FBI not actually being able to get through all of their backlog of background checks.

00:45:48.000 So, I don't know.

00:45:49.000 Well, that's why we have the 72-hour release.

00:45:51.000 But they still can't get through it.

00:45:53.000 Well, right, but this doesn't matter because after 72 hours, it's gone.

00:45:56.000 Right.

00:45:56.000 And you get your gun.

00:45:58.000 Joe Biden's trying to get rid of that, and that would effectively ban all guns.

00:46:01.000 All of them, period.

00:46:03.000 How?

00:46:04.000 So, right now the rule is, you have to get a background check when you buy a gun from an FFL.

00:46:11.000 For the average person, you get researched and within 5-10 minutes, you're cleared.

00:46:15.000 However, sometimes you get delayed.

00:46:17.000 If the FBI does not complete the background check within 72 hours, you get your gun.

00:46:22.000 If that 72-hour release is removed, as per Joe Biden's demand, then the FBI will say, we'll get to it when we get to it.

00:46:29.000 And then you never get the gun.

00:46:31.000 I mean, that actually happened.

00:46:33.000 So I got my first gun in Highland Park, New Jersey, which is like one of the most liberal townships.

00:46:38.000 It's bad.

00:46:39.000 They banned fracking.

00:46:40.000 Like, this is how they spend their time.

00:46:42.000 And the hoops that I had to jump, the illegal hoops I had to jump through to get my gun license were completely illegal.

00:46:50.000 There's nothing I could do about it.

00:46:51.000 They just kept on calling me into the back office.

00:46:53.000 Are you sure?

00:46:54.000 Are you sure?

00:46:55.000 And then they were sort of misogynist and infantilizing because I had my kids with me and they're like, Are you concerned about your safety?

00:47:01.000 Are you concerned about the safety of your children?

00:47:04.000 I am concerned about your ability to do your job in a timely way, and I would like the ability to defend myself and my children, because I don't trust you, sir!

00:47:12.000 You! 0.99

00:47:13.000 You! 0.99

00:47:13.000 Police officer, you! 0.99

00:47:14.000 Because you're not very good at your job.

00:47:15.000 I had the cops in New Jersey telling me to get a gun.

00:47:18.000 Really?

00:47:19.000 Yeah.

00:47:19.000 Some guy tried breaking in, and the cop was like, if it were me, I'd answer the door with a shotgun.

00:47:23.000 And I was like, I don't have one.

00:47:23.000 He's like, well... You might want to get one.

00:47:25.000 And I was like, okay!

00:47:27.000 And they all lied to me as to how to do it.

00:47:29.000 Well the thing that kills me about this story is that the lesson of this Texas shooting is that we should never have guns.

00:47:36.000 After we watched what the cops did standing out there for an hour, what was an hour?

00:47:41.000 I would rather have a gun to protect myself and my children because the mom who jumped the fence She's the hero of the story, and the Border Patrol agent borrowed the shotgun of his barber.

00:47:54.000 He is the hero of the story, and I am not super interested in entrusting my children and my safety in the hands of those people.

00:48:04.000 And I'm definitely not.

00:48:05.000 But what happened in Evaldi is not rare.

00:48:10.000 It's not uncommon.

00:48:11.000 This happens a lot.

00:48:13.000 This happened throughout other school shootings.

00:48:15.000 Parkland especially is just one of them.

00:48:17.000 But there's other events.

00:48:18.000 My friend Joe Lizito dealt with this entire situation as police officers were watching as he was stopping a serial killer getting stabbed in the head.

00:48:26.000 Police officers have argued in many states and even on the federal level They have no duty to protect and serve you.

00:48:33.000 That's right, with the SCOTUS decision.

00:48:34.000 Absolutely.

00:48:35.000 And it's important for people to understand.

00:48:37.000 So for them to use this emotional kind of event in order to push for gun control so

00:48:41.000 people have to depend on the police is absolutely insane, disingenuous, and just absolutely

00:48:48.000 And the only way they could do it is if they have enough emotions.

00:48:51.000 And this is why we're seeing such hyperbolic language.

00:48:54.000 And this is why we're not seeing the mom who had to jump the fence.

00:48:57.000 And that mom right now is being threatened, according to her. 1.00

00:49:00.000 She came out saying that she's threatened by police for speaking out against them.

00:49:05.000 Yeah, I mean, this is what happened in Parkland that it disappeared so fast once it became clear what had happened.

00:49:11.000 And they don't want to talk about it.

00:49:12.000 And so it kind of it the story became the the hog.

00:49:16.000 It was his name, Andrew.

00:49:17.000 David Hogg.

00:49:18.000 Thank you.

00:49:19.000 The story became David Hogg and all these things instead of the dad who kind of stood up and was like, I'm sorry, can we have a conversation about what happened with the police department?

00:49:26.000 Yeah, the teacher came out today.

00:49:27.000 The teacher that was in the classroom where he lost all of his students came out and said he had to pretend that he was dead for over an hour.

00:49:35.000 He heard police officers, and then he said that they retreated.

00:49:39.000 They went away.

00:49:39.000 And when he went away, the shooter started again, hurting small children.

00:49:44.000 And this, again, contradicts the official story of what the police officers were telling us that day.

00:49:48.000 That they were outside.

00:49:49.000 No, they left.

00:49:50.000 They retreated.

00:49:50.000 They ran away.

00:49:51.000 And then the shooting actually continued and escalated and more people lost their lives when they didn't need to.

00:49:56.000 And the cops are right there. 0.86

00:49:58.000 It's disgusting. 0.94

00:49:58.000 It's absolutely insane. 0.94

00:50:00.000 So I don't know if this panned out.

00:50:02.000 This was like a sort of I heard it originally when all of this stuff happened.

00:50:06.000 They were telling kids to yell out.

00:50:08.000 Yeah, that's one story as well.

00:50:10.000 And that happened.

00:50:11.000 One of the teachers, this teacher that came out today, did an interview at ABC News.

00:50:15.000 And he said specifically, How, you know, we heard the police officers outside.

00:50:19.000 We thought they were coming in.

00:50:20.000 We thought they were rescuing.

00:50:21.000 And then they just left.

00:50:23.000 And then one student said, hey, help me.

00:50:24.000 I'm here.

00:50:25.000 And then the monster came in there.

00:50:27.000 And then and then obviously you guys see what David Hogg tweeted about not allowing not having immigrants come to the United States.

00:50:34.000 It's like the weirdest gun control talking point.

00:50:36.000 He was like, someone should tell immigrants not to come to the United States.

00:50:40.000 We should issue warnings in their state, their country should issue warnings.

00:50:43.000 And I was just like, I just think that we should just let him talk all the time.

00:50:47.000 I'm of the mind every time he opens his mouth, we should all just listen and just learn.

00:50:52.000 I don't know.

00:50:53.000 He was trying to see where he goes.

00:50:54.000 Was he trying to argue?

00:50:55.000 Yeah.

00:50:56.000 Right.

00:50:57.000 I just think that we should just let him talk all the time.

00:50:58.000 I'm of the mind every time he opens his mouth, we should all just listen and just learn.

00:51:04.000 Agreed.

00:51:05.000 If we ignore him, he's going to, and belittle him, he's going to get more powerful.

00:51:08.000 So it really is someone that we should communicate with.

00:51:10.000 Well, no, she's saying that the more he talks, the more he discredits himself.

00:51:14.000 I understand.

00:51:14.000 But I also think that he's the kind of person that if you make fun of him and act like he's not a big deal, will become way more politically powerful than you intend.

00:51:21.000 Well, look, when half of the political space in this country is people who are willfully ignorant and then accuse everyone else of being willfully ignorant, I don't know how you solve that problem anyway. 0.69

00:51:33.000 I mean, you see that in no more clear context than with guns. 0.95

00:51:36.000 They do not understand the very basic mechanics.

00:51:40.000 I'm thinking about policing because I'm kind of with you Luke that you can't really rely on cops to save you but like I think okay that we start from the beginning again then you you have your homeschooling your kids in your house you have guns to protect it but that's not scalable because you can't be on guard all day that's why we develop specialization as a species we have people that specialize in defense of the community well no no no Armed societies are polite societies, and if you look at some examples specifically, when a criminal knows that someone could defend themselves, they're not going to treat them like a victim.

00:52:09.000 They're going to know that there's going to be consequences if they aggress against somebody else.

00:52:13.000 I understand that, but coordinated attacks, no one dad is going to be able to stop.

00:52:18.000 So I am probably the only person on my block who has guns, and I'm very okay with everyone knowing it.

00:52:25.000 Because at the end of the day, it's not my house getting robbed.

00:52:28.000 Yeah.

00:52:29.000 Luke, I think your power cable might be on your microphone or something.

00:52:31.000 Yeah, I'm trying to troubleshoot it, but I also got to switch cameras.

00:52:34.000 But on that note, Bethany, there's this viral video, James O'Keefe recently posted it, where they went door to door and asked people if they were in favor of gun control.

00:52:43.000 And when they said yes, he was like, we have the sign saying, proud gun-free home.

00:52:47.000 Would you put that in your front?

00:52:48.000 They're like, no, no.

00:52:50.000 Because then people would rob us and he's like, sounds like you're saying you need a gun to defend your home.

00:52:55.000 The funny thing is these people who won't do it know they don't need guns because everyone else has them.

00:52:59.000 Yeah.

00:53:00.000 And so I agree.

00:53:01.000 People should be armed, I think, or at least have the right to arm themselves and let people know we're armed.

00:53:05.000 But on top of that, you're still going to need a community police force at some level, because you can't expect parents to always be on guard.

00:53:14.000 If you're teaching your kid, you're not on guard.

00:53:16.000 So at some point, you're going to have to rely on your community To protect you at some point in some instances.

00:53:23.000 Maybe it's just gotten too big, like having a small police force.

00:53:26.000 I saw this chaos in Philadelphia the other night, maybe two days ago or something.

00:53:29.000 And there were like four cops, I think, where they are at this huge crowd of like a hundred kids, a hundred people out in the street just shooting each other.

00:53:36.000 Yeah, well, the crazy aspect is, you know, the same kind of Democratic Party establishment, the same kind of individuals that are telling you, you can't have a gun, you shouldn't have a gun, are the same individuals that are usually financed and sponsored by individuals like George Soros that literally are financing DAs and public prosecutors that let criminals leave and get out of jail after committing very horrible, violent crime.

00:53:56.000 There was a crazy incident in Los Angeles recently with a mother that was run over by a crazy criminal.

00:54:03.000 The criminal got five to seven months out of camp.

00:54:06.000 In response to him running over a mother and her child again There's been so many instances of just horrible violent people being let out into the streets And these are the same people doing that telling you you can't defend yourself You can't have you know we need more laws to go after law-abiding citizens that of course won't be following The context and pretext that they want them to let's talk about a new law.

00:54:28.000 Oh, yeah this guy We got a story from the post-millennial.

00:54:31.000 California lawmaker who relaxed punishments for sex offenders proposes mandatory drag queen 101 class for K-12 students.

00:54:40.000 So, when the left demands something and the GOP ignores it, they get it.

00:54:46.000 When the left demands something and the GOP pushes back, they recoil and then demand something twice as bad.

00:54:52.000 So we have all of these stories.

00:54:54.000 You may have seen the story where there's a big neon sign saying it's not going to lick itself and children are dancing with sexualized adult performers at a nightclub that was doing a family event, which is not for families, but they're claiming it is.

00:55:07.000 And in response to this, this guy is like, why don't we make it mandatory in schools?

00:55:11.000 Because this is what they want to do.

00:55:13.000 In response to a Texas state representative announcing he will file legislation to ban drag shows from having children in their audience, California State Senator Scott Weiner proposed offering drag queen curriculum in schools.

00:55:29.000 Responding to a tweet from Rep.

00:55:31.000 Brian Slatin of Texas, he said, Offering drag queen 101 as part of the k-12 curriculum attending drag queen story time will satisfy the requirement So I don't think he's completely serious, you know, I think he's just meant like poking the bear But the fact that they've gone beyond defending it and are now publicly being like let's do more.

00:55:53.000 Let's do more Let him keep saying it.

00:55:55.000 I know that's how I feel too.

00:55:56.000 I mean this the end of the day we're sort of It's not a mystery why there's going to be an absolute tsunami.

00:56:01.000 And it's not just this stuff.

00:56:02.000 It's not just the over-sexualization of children.

00:56:04.000 It's also the fact that parents over the last two years were watching their kids on Zoom and thinking, oh, this wasn't very impressive.

00:56:11.000 This wasn't very good.

00:56:13.000 And I now know, I mean, if you look at the test scores out of where I live, Montgomery County, Maryland, used to be like 65 to 75 percent of kids were sort of adequately prepared to do algebra in middle school.

00:56:26.000 The latest testing is 15%.

00:56:30.000 And so parents aren't just seeing this, but they're seeing this instead of math.

00:56:34.000 You gotta make it fun, man.

00:56:35.000 We need to monetize gaming, gamify algebra for kids where they get tokens and stuff.

00:56:40.000 Math is racist.

00:56:40.000 They do that in homeschooling.

00:56:42.000 I mean, this is the beauty of, you know, opening the market.

00:56:46.000 There's a viral video going around where someone said that he went into this event Munchhausen.

00:56:50.000 It's Munchhausen.

00:56:51.000 And then someone like the bartender asked him if he was gay and he said no and his mom went yes he is he is gay

00:56:56.000 He says no, I'm not you got really angry. Munchausen. It's Munchausen. Yeah, or or I don't know if it's I don't know

00:57:01.000 if that's Munchausen That's like a mother who's like I'm a special mom. I have a

00:57:06.000 special she wants to fit in She wants to be a part of whatever this is. I 0.67

00:57:10.000 Don't know how many of these parents there actually exist I mean, I would like to know if this guy actually has children, because at the end of the day... So, Heroes of Liberty, the books that I do, we were just reviewed by Current Affairs, and the reviewer had no children.

00:57:23.000 He's like the socialist with cats, and he has no children, and he's like, this is what parents should be teaching their children, this is what they should not be...

00:57:30.000 But none of them actually have kids.

00:57:31.000 None of them have any skin in the game.

00:57:33.000 They do.

00:57:33.000 They have your kids.

00:57:34.000 Right.

00:57:34.000 I mean, that's the thing.

00:57:35.000 They want to capture our kids in K-12 kids.

00:57:39.000 So again, in Montgomery County, where I live, there was just sort of an announcement put out on like the mommy listservs that normally at our local zoned elementary school, they've hit 100 kids by now in kindergarten enrollment.

00:57:54.000 At this point, they had 100 kids.

00:57:56.000 Right now, they have 55 kids signed up for kindergarten.

00:58:00.000 And they're starting to panic because by June 30th, they're going to start having to fire kindergarten teachers because they're not going to have enough kids registered.

00:58:07.000 And they keep on passing the buck.

00:58:09.000 They got federal money over COVID to sort of inflate their budget because people were pulling their kids out. 0.92

00:58:16.000 But that federal money is now gone and they're screwed.

00:58:19.000 I want to pull up this tweet from Libs of TikTok.

00:58:22.000 Who writes, The Mayor of Apex, North Carolina announced that the Drag Queen part of the Pride event has been cancelled after feedback received from citizens, but it's more interesting than that.

00:58:31.000 The letter from the Mayor says, It continues to be my goal to ensure that all voices in our community are represented.

00:58:38.000 I have received a variety of feedback regarding the Drag Queen story hour at the upcoming Apex Pride Festival.

00:58:44.000 Given that this part of the event was not originally presented when the event was proposed, I met with representatives from the organization hosting the event, the Apex Festival Commission, and presented the feedback I've received from citizens.

00:58:57.000 Today I was notified that the Apex Festival Commission has taken the feedback into careful consideration and has decided to remove the Drag Queen Story Hour from the event.

00:59:05.000 They tried sneaking it in.

00:59:07.000 They didn't announce it.

00:59:09.000 They get their access and permitting, whatever they need, and then they add child sexual grooming.

00:59:14.000 They don't even have to sneak it in.

00:59:15.000 This is something that they love doing.

00:59:17.000 So I'm kind of surprised that this was their response because this is their entire raison d'etre, is like sexualizing children.

00:59:25.000 So I don't know why they had to sneak it in when it's like normally just, you know, part of Pride Week now.

00:59:31.000 I think they know that if parents, the average parent sees this, there's going to be a major backlash.

00:59:37.000 I mean, but this is not out of school, right?

00:59:39.000 Like, this is just a public event that people can attend.

00:59:42.000 Well, so here's an interesting moral question.

00:59:46.000 There's a Mott & Bailey kind of thing going on where in the Bailey you have them outright just sexualizing kids. 0.96

00:59:53.000 It's not going to lick itself. 0.83

00:59:54.000 And then when you call it out, they retreat and say, it's just a costume party.

00:59:57.000 It's all that's all it is a pageant show. 1.00

01:00:00.000 And then it's like, dude, they're sticking dollar bills in thongs with those photos.

01:00:05.000 There's Queen Lactatia, a nine year old boy touching a nude adult man in a photo shoot. 0.81

01:00:10.000 These are grooming kids sexually. 0.59

01:00:12.000 That is overt abuse. 0.75

01:00:14.000 Yeah.

01:00:15.000 Yeah, no, I don't get it.

01:00:17.000 Yeah, and of course they were also talking about drug abuse and there's different layers of this.

01:00:22.000 I think there's all kind of coincides with a larger depopulation agenda if we go down the rabbit hole.

01:00:27.000 But to me, there's a lot of different aspects of this that really do need to be understood here.

01:00:31.000 And parents being responsible for their children is one of them.

01:00:34.000 I feel like a lot of them.

01:00:36.000 You used to be able to outsource.

01:00:37.000 You used to be able to put your kids in front of Disney and bring them to the school library.

01:00:39.000 is going to be okay and they're not. You need to be a part of your child's life.

01:00:43.000 Well you used to be able to outsource. You used to be able to put your kids in front of Disney

01:00:47.000 and bring them to the school library. Now, I mean especially in the month of June,

01:00:51.000 if you go to your local library and you look at the children's section it is wall to wall.

01:00:56.000 May I just say that I am absolutely in love with the fact that they are turning

01:01:01.000 parents into a voting bloc.

01:01:03.000 I wish them the best with this because this transcends everything.

01:01:06.000 This transcends class, race.

01:01:08.000 It transcends whether you're gay or straight.

01:01:10.000 If you have kids and you care about your kids, you're going to push back on this so hard.

01:01:13.000 You're going to flip their boat.

01:01:15.000 It's going to be great.

01:01:15.000 Well, we saw with Glenn Youngkin and they, I mean, it was funny.

01:01:18.000 I met this mom at a dance.

01:01:20.000 My kid does a dance class.

01:01:22.000 In, you know, very blue Maryland.

01:01:25.000 And she walked up to me and she sort of gave me a little bit of her backstory.

01:01:28.000 And we were texting later to, you know, get our kids together.

01:01:30.000 And I was like, oh, you're one of those red-pilled moms for Glenn Youngkin. 0.81

01:01:34.000 And she's like, you bet I am.

01:01:35.000 Because I saw what they were doing to my kids on Zoom.

01:01:39.000 And they did not care.

01:01:40.000 I mean, it's not just that they didn't do it well.

01:01:44.000 It's that they just did not care.

01:01:46.000 And so what really frustrated me about this call for everyone to enroll their kindergartner in school.

01:01:52.000 Or the kindergarten teachers will lose their jobs.

01:01:55.000 When did the kindergarten teachers express any concern over children over the last years?

01:02:00.000 I know that the unions were sort of the larger villains, but I didn't see that many teachers coming out and saying, we need to be in person and I need to teach reading without masks on myself for the children.

01:02:12.000 We did not see that in math.

01:02:14.000 And the psychological negative impacts of the mask wearing, of specifically the distance learning, is going to have long-term consequences for children that are not going to be able to be socially available for people.

01:02:25.000 We're going to turn an entire generation into, and I don't say this in a bad way, into autistic. 1.00

01:02:32.000 They are not going to be able to form these social bonds.

01:02:34.000 My kid does occupational therapy and most of the occupational therapist patients are

01:02:40.000 on the autism spectrum and they've told us like, this is bad.

01:02:44.000 Or have good human interactions with the fellow children and fellow friends.

01:02:48.000 And another aspect of this to really kind of ascertain is that they're not going to

01:02:52.000 be able to have healthy relationships, whether with friends or with partners or with lovers.

01:02:57.000 And then you add the aspect of pornography and how readily available it is and how it

01:03:01.000 literally rewires children's brains and then you teach people not to have, you know, you're

01:03:07.000 essentially leading people down the pathway where they're going to be alone and miserable

01:03:10.000 for the rest of their life.

01:03:11.000 And I think this is all done on purpose, because then you have the perfect consumer.

01:03:15.000 You could control someone, you could enslave someone when they're an individual, but when they're a family, when they're a group, or when they're a unit, it's harder to control and subjugate a population.

01:03:23.000 If you want to explain to people who don't understand the damage masks do, it's actually quite simple.

01:03:29.000 Set the volume on a TV just low enough to where it's kind of hard to hear, and then have something play on the TV, and then ask this person what they said, and they'll tell you.

01:03:39.000 Then block their view of the person's mouth and play it again, and they'll say, I couldn't hear it.

01:03:44.000 But why?

01:03:44.000 The volume's the exact same.

01:03:46.000 And then learn how to read that way.

01:03:47.000 I mean, one of the most underreported sort of stories of all the school stuff is the violence in schools.

01:03:53.000 And people are like, why wouldn't we see this coming?

01:03:55.000 When you dehumanize children, put them in literal glass boxes, don't let them go near anyone,

01:04:01.000 and tell them that they are vectors of disease for two years, there's going to be some anger.

01:04:06.000 And then over-sexualize them and confuse them with all these other things.

01:04:09.000 And put them in front of a screen where they have ready access to the pornography. 0.79

01:04:12.000 Exactly.

01:04:13.000 And was it Michael Malice who said that schools are maybe the place, the one place where children experience violence or something like that?

01:04:21.000 Yeah.

01:04:21.000 What do you say?

01:04:22.000 On par with prisons, I think.

01:04:23.000 Yeah.

01:04:25.000 The same people who build the prisons build the schools.

01:04:26.000 So what do you expect?

01:04:27.000 I mean, especially when you look at the larger People call it an education system.

01:04:32.000 It's, again, an institution that indoctrinates children for the political benefit of the people controlling that institution.

01:04:40.000 And this is why David Rockefeller was instrumental in creating the modern-day education system, trying to create factory workers that were going to be good workers for him and no one else.

01:04:49.000 You treat everyone exactly the same, and everyone sort of goes through the machine.

01:04:52.000 Are you familiar with John Taylor Gadd?

01:04:54.000 Yes.

01:04:54.000 He does incredible work.

01:04:56.000 And if you don't know who that is, you should definitely look at John Taylor Gatto.

01:04:58.000 So he was a teacher, actually.

01:05:01.000 He won Teacher of the Year in New York City.

01:05:03.000 And during his speech, he sort of stood up and said, this entire machine is broken.

01:05:07.000 We treat children as cogs in a machine.

01:05:10.000 And it's unnatural to teach anything when you tell them, OK, read this poem and then a bell dings and then they have to move on.

01:05:19.000 It treats children as if they are rats, basically.

01:05:22.000 Absolutely.

01:05:23.000 Yeah and the homeschool philosophy that we follow because I homeschool all my kids, I mean not all of them obviously I have a baby, but it's called Charlotte Mason and it just basically yeah and it talks about sort of her entire philosophy is the respecting the personhood of children and treating every child Yeah, homeschooling is on the rise, which I think is absolutely incredible, absolutely awesome.

01:05:46.000 Pods are also starting to exist.

01:05:47.000 Mason schools that, I mean, this is why people are flocking away from public schools because

01:05:52.000 they treat children as cogs.

01:05:53.000 Homeschooling is on the rise, which I think is absolutely incredible, absolutely awesome.

01:05:58.000 Pods are also starting to exist.

01:06:00.000 Entire networks are starting to exist where people in a community are coming together

01:06:03.000 and saying, hey, I'm a physicist.

01:06:06.000 Hey, I'm a mathematician.

01:06:07.000 Hey, I know history.

01:06:08.000 On the way here I was talking to an art teacher.

01:06:10.000 She homeschools her kids and I said, can you teach an art class for all of the other Jewish homeschoolers in our community?

01:06:15.000 I was literally on the phone with her on the way here.

01:06:17.000 There's huge networks popping up and a lot of people aren't talking about this.

01:06:20.000 New Hampshire just passed a lot of new legislation allowing people to homeschool even more freely and even have more access to

01:06:28.000 taxpayer funds if they do homeschool and They have entire communities of individuals

01:06:35.000 especially a part of the Free State Project where you have an expert in one particular field that teaches an entire

01:06:40.000 group of children on The very specific issues that he's an expert on

01:06:44.000 My friend Jay Noon does this with welding.

01:06:47.000 He has little kids welding and building stuff and constructing stuff.

01:06:50.000 He calls it, I think he calls it man camp.

01:06:54.000 He might get canceled for that.

01:06:56.000 But Jay Noon does great work and he literally teaches young women, young boys how to build

01:07:03.000 stuff out of their hands.

01:07:06.000 It's incredible stuff what they're able to do when they're taken out of this confined

01:07:10.000 space where they're told just to regurgitate something.

01:07:13.000 And they're told, hey, you have free reign to create something.

01:07:16.000 And the things they come up with is absolutely incredible.

01:07:19.000 Kids have so much potential.

01:07:20.000 They have so much creative energy.

01:07:23.000 They have so much incredibleness within them.

01:07:26.000 And the school system, the indoctrination system intentionally suppresses that to make

01:07:31.000 And people think when you say indoctrination system that it's, you know, you're sort of feeding all this drag queen stuff, which obviously is happening, but I think that the larger point of indoctrination isn't, and the damage isn't that messaging, the progressive messaging, which I obviously think is really damaging, it's treating children like they are cogs and like rats.

01:07:49.000 Yeah.

01:07:50.000 Rinse and repeat.

01:07:51.000 Say this and remember this.

01:07:54.000 Think about how we read books in school.

01:07:58.000 You have to write a book report, and then you have to illustrate it, and then you have to... I hated the book by the end of it.

01:08:03.000 I never wanted to see it again.

01:08:05.000 And then when I read it as an adult, I'm like, Oh, Grapes of Wrath is actually a really good read.

01:08:10.000 It's a pretty good read.

01:08:11.000 And so I'm rereading all of this classic literature as an adult and I'm like, you murdered this piece of beautiful literature.

01:08:20.000 And I mean, this is schools.

01:08:22.000 All of it.

01:08:22.000 Yeah.

01:08:23.000 I mean, the only books that millennials have read is Harry Potter.

01:08:28.000 Those are actually good.

01:08:29.000 I defend them.

01:08:29.000 Sure, sure, sure.

01:08:30.000 I like Harry Potter, for sure.

01:08:31.000 But it's the only thing they've read.

01:08:33.000 Right.

01:08:33.000 For pleasure, I would say.

01:08:34.000 I mean, this is the problem with also putting kids in a pen for eight hours a day.

01:08:41.000 At the end of the day, they're just fried.

01:08:43.000 And then you put them in front of a screen, whatever.

01:08:44.000 But they have no energy and no inertia to just read for pleasure and read for fun.

01:08:49.000 I think we have to expand pods.

01:08:52.000 So they're really hard to put together.

01:08:54.000 Let me tell you, as someone who spent the last three years trying, it takes more coordination because then you have to rely on other people.

01:09:01.000 And I don't know if you remember group projects when you were a kid.

01:09:04.000 Never rely on someone else to do it because no one does it as well as you do.

01:09:08.000 So I don't know if they have these where you are, but in Colorado, when we were homeschooling, we had these co-ops where you could go and learn Latin.

01:09:16.000 Yeah, they're incredible, but they're super hard to form.

01:09:20.000 And then, so this is like just my personality.

01:09:23.000 I hate rules and I don't like people telling me what to do.

01:09:27.000 And a lot of the co-ops near us were crazy with COVID, and so I just didn't want to partake.

01:09:33.000 And a lot of them, I mean, we sort of fit into a sort of weird ideological box because we're Jewish and because, you know, whatever.

01:09:40.000 And so it's hard to sort of find like-minded people.

01:09:43.000 But we're, I mean, we're trying to form that where I live, but it's hard to coordinate.

01:09:48.000 What about doing it online?

01:09:49.000 Coordinating online?

01:09:50.000 So we do.

01:09:51.000 So my kids do an online like Hebrew class and whatever, and the teacher is wonderful.

01:09:56.000 But I don't want my kids in front of a screen all day.

01:09:58.000 Yeah, not all day.

01:09:59.000 I would think there are some things you could learn online.

01:10:01.000 So they do.

01:10:02.000 So my kids do it like it's called Gesher and like it's it's based.

01:10:06.000 So the problem with the Jewish model and like my experience and my perception is that so in the Jewish community, people, 95% of people send their kids to Jewish day schools like Orthodox.

01:10:18.000 I'm not talking about reform.

01:10:19.000 So, if you actually like care about your faith, you will send your kids to these schools, but they're like $20,000, $30,000, $40,000 a pop.

01:10:27.000 And so, it's a kind of birth control because people are like, oh, we can only really afford to have two or three kids.

01:10:32.000 One kid it is.

01:10:33.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:10:34.000 So, people have two or three kids and so, it forms, you know, sort of, it becomes birth control basically.

01:10:40.000 And so what some people do but very few people is that they pull their kids out, and I'm talking like 2% of people homeschool right now, and the woman who runs this program that my kids do, she runs all of the Jewish classes online on Zoom.

01:10:56.000 But it's hard.

01:10:57.000 I mean, the Jewish community does not homeschool en masse.

01:11:01.000 And I do not understand it.

01:11:02.000 It makes no sense because we have the financial constraints of not just the tuition, but also you have to live within walking distance of your synagogue. 0.94

01:11:10.000 And so there's a Jew tax on your house because it's the home value and it's also the property taxes. 0.80

01:11:18.000 And so it's really expensive to be Jewish, which is like, you know, there's a reason why there's all the stereotypes about us being cheap because we're really tight.

01:11:23.000 Things are expensive.

01:11:25.000 Um, kosher food is also super expensive, and so I don't get why there's not more Jewish homeschoolers, but... I think I can easily attribute much of my success to the fact that I was homeschooled before kindergarten.

01:11:37.000 So, you know, when I was growing up, when I'm a little kid, my mom's homeschooling me from our earliest memories until we even started kindergarten.

01:11:45.000 And then I learned, later on, none of my friends had any schooling.

01:11:50.000 That they were, you know, three and four years old, doing very little, if anything.

01:11:54.000 You know, getting a little bit of instruction from their parents, but mostly nothing.

01:11:57.000 I was actually, you know, every day, we'd have grammar books, we'd have math books, and vocabulary, and all that stuff.

01:12:03.000 And so, I started researching schools, because I despised them, completely.

01:12:07.000 I did K through 8th grade, and then I did a couple months of high school, and then just stopped completely with all school. 1.00

01:12:13.000 Yeah, so you're therefore an idiot. 1.00

01:12:15.000 Was it? 1.00

01:12:15.000 You're therefore an idiot because you stopped. 1.00

01:12:17.000 Oh, of course, absolutely. 1.00

01:12:17.000 Shame you didn't turn into anything. 1.00

01:12:20.000 So the issue is, you know, I remember when the conversation around college was happening and people were surprised to learn you don't need a high school diploma to go to college.

01:12:29.000 But all of my friends were convinced they had to have one, and I was like, once you turn 18, you can just go to community college, get an associate's, and then transfer.

01:12:36.000 You don't even have to turn 18.

01:12:37.000 I have a friend, when she realized that she was completely sold on homeschooling, her, I think, sophomore age in high school, he's already going to community college.

01:12:47.000 By the time he graduates high school at 18, he'll have an associate.

01:12:50.000 Yeah.

01:12:50.000 Exactly.

01:12:51.000 And so it's a complete waste of time.

01:12:53.000 I remember when I was told, don't worry, high school is going to be different.

01:12:56.000 And then what was it?

01:12:57.000 Identical in every way.

01:12:59.000 And I was like, how many times are we going to learn the exact same things over?

01:13:03.000 You're teaching us nothing.

01:13:05.000 So I was like, I'm out.

01:13:05.000 I'm done.

01:13:06.000 I went to New York City Public School.

01:13:07.000 That was extremely... Brooklyn.

01:13:10.000 I don't want to kind of release the name of it.

01:13:13.000 I went to two high schools and when you're there, you have teachers that are absolutely horrible, that absolutely ruin learning, ruin literature, ruin your ability to even, you know, have basic, you know, functions.

01:13:26.000 And there's also, you know, teachers that do care.

01:13:30.000 I had teachers growing up I know four of them off the top of my head that used to say, OK, this is what they want you to learn.

01:13:37.000 This is what's going to be on the test.

01:13:39.000 Now, here, let me tell you how the CIA brings them crack into the poor neighborhoods.

01:13:42.000 Here, let me tell you about Iran.

01:13:45.000 Here, let me tell you about JFK.

01:13:46.000 Here, let me tell you about, you know, Gulf of Tonkin.

01:13:49.000 And there was four teachers throughout my entire life in New York City Public School that were absolutely incredible, caring, loving individuals that did a good job, that actually made you understand what the world was really like.

01:14:02.000 But that was rare.

01:14:04.000 And the vast majority of them, I just hated school because it was just like indoctrination.

01:14:08.000 I love homeschooling.

01:14:09.000 I'm super rah-rah.

01:14:10.000 But the problem I think of conservatives is that we think that homeschooling is like a scalable solution for a lot of people.

01:14:16.000 It's not.

01:14:17.000 So here's the problem.

01:14:18.000 You had four teachers who were caring and whatever.

01:14:22.000 When you get into the parenting world and you realize how few parents care about their own children, that I think is one of the most earth-shattering.

01:14:30.000 I've been saying this and people didn't like it.

01:14:32.000 I said, you've got how many parents?

01:14:35.000 That would prefer to have a job, knowing it meant their children are being groomed, than to risk their, their comfort and their access to resources.

01:14:43.000 Not just their comfort.

01:14:44.000 Like, I'm just going to be really mean for a second.

01:14:46.000 It's not just their comfort.

01:14:47.000 It's they just don't want to spend time with their own children.

01:14:49.000 Right.

01:14:50.000 And this is something that I truly do not understand as a parent because, and Jordan Peterson talks about this, who your children are are basically under the age of 10, a reflection on you.

01:15:00.000 So if your child is a real hmm, then that means that you're not a great person either. 0.98

01:15:05.000 And I always say to my daughter, because we have like social issues, if the parent is liberal, they sometimes don't want their child playing with my child.

01:15:13.000 And this has been a reoccurring issue in our family, unfortunately.

01:15:17.000 And my daughter was really disappointed for some reason.

01:15:19.000 I'm just gonna be honest with you, honey. 1.00

01:15:21.000 That person is a jerk. 1.00

01:15:22.000 And their child, therefore, is not someone you're going to want to play with socially. 1.00

01:15:27.000 Because Apple doesn't fall far.

01:15:29.000 Why would you want your kids hanging out with them? 0.70

01:15:31.000 I mean, that's exactly it. 1.00

01:15:32.000 The child is a jerk. 1.00

01:15:35.000 People keep on talking about your child's socialization, whatever, with homeschooling. 1.00

01:15:40.000 And I'm like, it's a feature, not a bug. 1.00

01:15:42.000 Because I don't have to have my children play with any of those jerks' kids. 1.00

01:15:46.000 I know who they're playing with. 1.00

01:15:48.000 It's not about a jerk necessarily, but it's also about social contagions. 0.98

01:15:52.000 Yes, 100%. 0.99

01:15:52.000 I was the bad kid in my class all growing up. 0.99

01:15:55.000 I was the one that told all my friends about sex and drugs because I did not grow up in a great house.

01:15:59.000 Oh no, I did not grow up in a great house.

01:16:01.000 And I was the one that told all my friends about, do you know what sex is?

01:16:04.000 Do you actually, do you want to talk about like what that actually... You were that person.

01:16:06.000 Oh, I was awful.

01:16:07.000 Oh my gosh.

01:16:07.000 I'm protecting my children from myself at seven.

01:16:10.000 That's great.

01:16:10.000 Yeah.

01:16:11.000 Let's, let's jump to this next story.

01:16:13.000 This is, uh, this is fun.

01:16:15.000 CNN's new CEO plans to prune partisan personalities in programming.

01:16:20.000 I hope they fire Brian Selden.

01:16:21.000 Poor Brian.

01:16:22.000 Upon taking over for Jeff Zucker, Chris Licht has vowed to make changes among them as a reduction of partisan programming and on-air personalities.

01:16:30.000 If he gets his way, on-air talent could be ousted if they can't adjust to a less partisan tone and strategy.

01:16:37.000 Here's what's going to happen.

01:16:38.000 Brian Stalter is going to do a segment where he goes, this is exactly right.

01:16:43.000 We shouldn't be partisan.

01:16:44.000 You do his voice very well.

01:16:48.000 Whatever the company wants to do, he's just like, of course that's the right answer.

01:16:51.000 But here's the problem for Brian.

01:16:54.000 One day, I don't know when it will be, but one day they will actually make hiring and firing decisions based on ratings.

01:17:02.000 That is the day that Brian sees the end of the road.

01:17:07.000 So I mean, obviously, I support this.

01:17:08.000 I think this is great.

01:17:09.000 But let's just make it a meritocracy.

01:17:11.000 But if they did that, then Tucker would be on CNN.

01:17:14.000 Yeah.

01:17:15.000 Yep.

01:17:16.000 I mean, it's crazy how the cable news used to be.

01:17:18.000 Tucker was on MSNBC.

01:17:21.000 Really, when?

01:17:21.000 He used to have a bow tie.

01:17:23.000 Yes, he did.

01:17:24.000 He used to argue for... MSNBC used to be kind of like corporate.

01:17:30.000 It was like a crossfire thing, right?

01:17:32.000 No, I think MSNBC was considered to be like center-right or something.

01:17:36.000 Oh, wow.

01:17:37.000 Yeah, it's only recently that MSNBC turned into a far-hard-left, weird liberal Democrat thing.

01:17:42.000 I think that's a lie.

01:17:44.000 Really?

01:17:44.000 No, yeah.

01:17:44.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:17:45.000 Sounds like fake news to me.

01:17:46.000 They got bought by Comcast at some point.

01:17:48.000 Interesting.

01:17:49.000 What if that was it?

01:17:49.000 Didn't they have Jesse Ventura on, and they canceled in 2008, and they canceled his contract because he criticized the war when they told him to stop.

01:17:57.000 Oh, wow.

01:17:58.000 That's interesting.

01:17:58.000 Yeah.

01:17:58.000 His middle name is Swanson.

01:18:00.000 Tucker Carlson was on MSNBC.

01:18:01.000 Yeah, he's like the Swanson guy.

01:18:02.000 The situation.

01:18:03.000 You know when Comcast bought that?

01:18:04.000 I have no idea.

01:18:06.000 And Rachel Maddow and Jay Severin were featured guests.

01:18:09.000 Interesting.

01:18:10.000 Isn't it crazy how this stuff used to be?

01:18:12.000 Now I don't think Tucker Carlson, if anything, he's become more populist.

01:18:17.000 Yes.

01:18:18.000 So he used to be very staunch conservative.

01:18:19.000 He was the conservative guy on Crossfire.

01:18:21.000 So him being on MSNBC.

01:18:22.000 MSNBC was not this hard left weirdo thing it is now.

01:18:26.000 I think.

01:18:27.000 But it looks like it's been moving less since 2008.

01:18:30.000 That's when they canceled Tucker.

01:18:33.000 That's just what I'm seeing.

01:18:34.000 I did not know this.

01:18:35.000 I didn't either.

01:18:36.000 I had no idea.

01:18:37.000 I've only known them.

01:18:38.000 I'm glad it wasn't only me.

01:18:39.000 Yeah, no, I followed the news closely and I was like...

01:18:42.000 So that's 2009 is when Comcast, well actually they announced that they were buying NBCUniversal and then it was 2013 when they actually bought Universal.

01:18:50.000 Now you see BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard own 20% or whatever, 18% of Comcast.

01:18:57.000 So it's just this media consolidation you see with the banks, with Wells Fargo now owns whatever else, other banks, and Comcast is just dictating the narrative.

01:19:05.000 Yeah, the more you consolidate anything like that, I think the worse it's going to be.

01:19:09.000 I think we are seeing all this corporatization because at the end of the day, like three companies own everything.

01:19:14.000 I bet you that more people watch your show.

01:19:19.000 More people listen to it.

01:19:20.000 That's for sure.

01:19:21.000 And I'm not talking about words they're hearing.

01:19:22.000 I'm not saying they're hearing more people hearing.

01:19:24.000 I'm saying they're actually listening.

01:19:25.000 Yeah, no, I mean, I, this, I mean, this is the Brian Stalter thing.

01:19:28.000 You can respond to this show.

01:19:30.000 It's a completely different ballgame.

01:19:32.000 But this, I mean, it's, that's why it's popular, though, because people feel like there is, they're invested in it.

01:19:40.000 And they are part of this.

01:19:41.000 Yeah.

01:19:41.000 Whereas Brian Stalter, when you watch it, you just feel like you're, you're on the receiving end of a really bad lecture.

01:19:47.000 Who would sign up for that?

01:19:48.000 Yeah, that media, that whole genre is gone.

01:19:52.000 It doesn't make sense.

01:19:53.000 I mean, some people, I guess, are used to it, so they're still comfortable with being talked at, but... So, I just pulled up... Adweek's ratings are up to date, but they don't let you read them unless you log in, and you can't log in because the system doesn't work, for whatever reason.

01:20:07.000 But I pulled up, this is from National Media Spots, MSN... So, Fox News, 1.5 million in... What is their number?

01:20:15.000 Is this prime time?

01:20:17.000 I don't know.

01:20:18.000 I think it's primetime viewership peak.

01:20:20.000 So Fox News gets 1.5 million.

01:20:22.000 Their average viewer, though, is I think, what, 62?

01:20:24.000 Yeah.

01:20:25.000 Yeah, kind of old.

01:20:26.000 They do get a lot.

01:20:26.000 You can tell on the advertisers.

01:20:28.000 Oh my gosh.

01:20:29.000 Pocket catheters and whatnot.

01:20:31.000 But I think Tucker gets around 400,000 to 500,000 key demo viewers, which is basically what we get.

01:20:39.000 I wish that you hadn't said that.

01:20:39.000 Now I'm just going to sit here and terrify the rest of the show.

01:20:41.000 the other demographic.

01:20:42.000 Right.

01:20:43.000 We don't get any of it.

01:20:44.000 Target demographic.

01:20:45.000 So Tucker gets, you know, three to five million people watching his show.

01:20:49.000 Ten percent of them are key demo.

01:20:51.000 He has massive influence among people.

01:20:52.000 I wish that you hadn't said that.

01:20:53.000 Now I'm just going to sit here terrified the rest of the show.

01:20:55.000 I intentionally shield myself from this kind of information.

01:20:59.000 Yeah, I just, I like to think of just a sit-down.

01:21:02.000 You're just talking to us!

01:21:04.000 But it's also different, too, because we get that over the life of the show.

01:21:08.000 So, like, I think off-season politics, we're getting, like, 350 to 450 on YouTube, and then we get, like, 100 on the podcast.

01:21:17.000 Then we do the clips, which get another 600 to 700.

01:21:19.000 Right, right.

01:21:20.000 So it's different from how cable TV works.

01:21:23.000 Yeah.

01:21:24.000 But it's definitely changing and changing for the better.

01:21:26.000 So what I'm wondering is, I'm wondering, you know, from an internal business perspective and from a cultural perspective, what's the upward limit of a show like this?

01:21:35.000 Can we ever be as big as Tucker Carlson?

01:21:37.000 It can be infinite.

01:21:38.000 I don't think so.

01:21:38.000 With neural net, it can be infinite.

01:21:40.000 Everyone on Earth can know everyone on Earth.

01:21:42.000 It can really be like that.

01:21:43.000 Well, I don't think that's possible right now, and there's no reason to predict in the foreseeable future that will be the case.

01:21:48.000 Yeah, I would give it 70 years or something.

01:21:50.000 When people watch cable TV, there's like seven channels they would choose from on cable news.

01:21:55.000 And that means... It's very automated.

01:21:57.000 All of the conservative people are going to watch Tucker, when Tucker's on.

01:22:01.000 When it comes to the internet, you can watch this, you can watch Viva, you can watch Jimmy Dore, you can watch Crowder.

01:22:06.000 It's made me realize how small the world really is when you break through.

01:22:11.000 You make a YouTube video and then 18 million people know who you are the next day.

01:22:15.000 With the neural net.

01:22:16.000 I mean, I don't want to break the conversation and start talking about tech that doesn't exist yet, but it seems like we're headed towards an environment where we're more interoperable as humans.

01:22:25.000 I think fame is going away.

01:22:27.000 And I predicted this 10 years ago.

01:22:29.000 I was at, what is it called, NAB in Amsterdam, National Association of Broadcasters.

01:22:33.000 And I was talking to these guys and I said, fame as we know it is going away.

01:22:37.000 And they're like, no, it isn't.

01:22:38.000 That's not true.

01:22:38.000 That'll never happen.

01:22:40.000 And I said, what I explained to them was, the internet is decentralizing how we consume media.

01:22:45.000 New clicks, new groups, new subcultures are emerging and they're exponentially emerging.

01:22:51.000 So where it used to be that there were 10 channels, there were three channels to choose from,

01:22:54.000 then there was five, then there was 10. You would have one guy on that nightly show with,

01:23:00.000 you know, with Johnny Carson or whatever.

01:23:02.000 How many guests would they have?

01:23:03.000 Two or three.

01:23:04.000 And so everyone in the country has to choose between these five channels.

01:23:08.000 So you've got 100 million people all watching TV, 20 million watching this one show, and that one guy that's on it is seen by all of those people.

01:23:16.000 I mean, this now it's it's there's there's 50 shows to choose from.

01:23:20.000 Yeah.

01:23:20.000 And I think that this is part of a larger sort of our culture is sort of we're not as connected anymore, because it used to be that everyone used to watch the same shows and listen to the same music, whatever.

01:23:31.000 And now you were talking about some stranger things before the show and I was like, I've never seen that show and I have no intention.

01:23:37.000 And I can do that.

01:23:38.000 I can operate in a world where I've never seen that show because how often does stranger things come up in my everyday life?

01:23:43.000 Not that often.

01:23:44.000 But if this were 50 years ago and I hadn't seen Johnny Carson last night, I can't talk at the dinner table.

01:23:50.000 I have nothing to say.

01:23:52.000 And so I think that it's really sort of not just bifurcating it, but just like atomizing all of us into our little bubbles.

01:23:58.000 Is it a good thing or is it a bad thing?

01:23:59.000 I think it's a bad thing.

01:24:01.000 Well, it depends, because it's also the decentralization of power and information.

01:24:04.000 That's fair.

01:24:05.000 It's a good thing when it's meritocratic.

01:24:07.000 What's happening now is the establishment and the lefty cults are manipulating the platforms to prop up bad ideas.

01:24:15.000 When bad ideas are propped up against meritocratic ideas, then there's conflict.

01:24:19.000 It's painful.

01:24:20.000 I don't know if you call it good or bad, but spiritually it's painful to not know what other people are thinking or caring about.

01:24:26.000 Also, powerful people manipulate the perception with bots and spam accounts and fake accounts to make ideas look more popular than they actually are if they have an agenda in pushing it.

01:24:36.000 And that's why I think the Elon Musk spam kind of debate is a lot more important than we even understand right now.

01:24:42.000 But another aspect to kind of look at here is that the corporate media, a lot of their viewership is dying off.

01:24:48.000 They're slowly passing away of old age.

01:24:52.000 And I think, you know, Tim, you make a good statement.

01:24:54.000 I think it's the same kind of statement that Andy Warhol made when he said, in the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.

01:25:01.000 And I think with, you know, the digitalization of everything, I think that's where we're going.

01:25:05.000 I think that's where we're at almost as a certainty in the near future.

01:25:10.000 Yeah, I mean, you think about sort of America's sweetheart, like Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock and all the like, Do we have that today?

01:25:16.000 Exactly, that's what I'm saying.

01:25:18.000 Does that exist?

01:25:19.000 And to me, I'm very emotionally invested in Rachel Green, aka Jennifer Aniston's procreation, but now she's 55 and it's not going to happen.

01:25:27.000 Those magazine covers are now over.

01:25:31.000 And I'm not emotionally invested in anyone the same way I'm invested in Jennifer Garner.

01:25:35.000 Well, I think one thing that we see, there used to be beloved celebrities.

01:25:39.000 Now we have celebrities who are loved and hated.

01:25:41.000 Will Smith, yeah.

01:25:43.000 He was one of the last ones.

01:25:45.000 Because back in the day, people were like, do we really want to run nonstop of the nastiest coverage on someone that people kind of like a lot?

01:25:54.000 It's risky, right?

01:25:55.000 If someone is hated and infamous, well, then you run the hit and the tabloid garbage.

01:25:59.000 But if it's a celebrity, you're like, people are interested in celebrity life and lifestyles of the rich and famous.

01:26:04.000 Now, though, you can do them both. 0.91

01:26:06.000 You can make a magazine called Celebrity Love, and you can make a magazine called Celebrity Gossip, where one says Will Smith is the best, and the other says Will Smith is garbage.

01:26:13.000 Run them both, get both audiences, and make money off the hatred and the positivity.

01:26:17.000 Yeah, Meghan Markle is like the key demo on that.

01:26:20.000 It was so hard to watch Fringe.

01:26:22.000 You can tell a lot by a person what they think about Meghan Markle.

01:26:26.000 Yeah.

01:26:26.000 Why's that?

01:26:27.000 She sucks. 1.00

01:26:28.000 He's a good person. 1.00

01:26:30.000 Yeah, that's what I know.

01:26:32.000 This is Prince Harry's wife.

01:26:34.000 I just can't stand the royal family.

01:26:36.000 So I disagree with you on that.

01:26:38.000 Did you guys see the video?

01:26:39.000 Was that Meghan Markle talking to the little kid and the kid was giving her the fingers?

01:26:43.000 No, that was Prince Louis.

01:26:44.000 I'm a royal.

01:26:45.000 I'm a royal.

01:26:46.000 A royal.

01:26:47.000 Tell me about it.

01:26:47.000 I'm a royal fan.

01:26:48.000 I've been imbibing intravenously all the royalness.

01:26:53.000 So you know a lot about lizards?

01:26:55.000 There's an AI program I just subscribed to.

01:26:58.000 It's called OpenAI.

01:26:59.000 It's really amazing.

01:26:59.000 You can tell it to do anything.

01:27:00.000 I got it. I'm a Gila monster guy. 1.00

01:27:02.000 I got this new A.I.

01:27:04.000 story. General. I got it.

01:27:05.000 There's an A.I. program I just subscribed to. It's called Open A.I.

01:27:09.000 It's really amazing.

01:27:10.000 You can tell it to do anything you can say.

01:27:12.000 Draft me a product proposal or like give me a catchphrase.

01:27:16.000 And I said, tell me a story about Donald Trump defeating

01:27:20.000 the lizard people with his good friend Alex Jones.

01:27:23.000 And it wrote this really amazing story, a couple of them I ran, where one was like, Trump was at a rally, went in the stands, he sees a couple lizard people in masks shouting, and he points him out and everyone starts booing.

01:27:35.000 And then he goes into the stands with Alex Jones. 0.83

01:27:37.000 It was just an absolutely ridiculous story. 0.95

01:27:40.000 One was like a lizard guy breaks into Trump's house and he throws Alex Jones' book at him and hits him in the face, knocking him out. 0.98

01:27:44.000 You make me think of Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.

01:27:47.000 Remember that?

01:27:47.000 He would take his mask off and he had like a lizard mouth.

01:27:50.000 We got the masks.

01:27:51.000 OK, now what's next?

01:27:52.000 That wasn't Scorpion.

01:27:53.000 Scorpion was a skull.

01:27:54.000 OK.

01:27:54.000 So we could fire all of our writers for the cause of liberty

01:27:57.000 and just be AI.

01:27:59.000 You know what I'm thinking, Luke?

01:28:00.000 You mentioned corporate.

01:28:01.000 You were talking about the corporations earlier.

01:28:02.000 I think that when a corporation gets big enough, when it becomes a megacorp,

01:28:06.000 it should no longer be called a corporation.

01:28:09.000 And it should have new laws and rules about what it can and can't do.

01:28:13.000 Own land?

01:28:14.000 No.

01:28:14.000 You can't own land if you're a mega... All sorts of stuff like this, like, oh, own software, private software code?

01:28:20.000 No.

01:28:21.000 You can't use that stuff if you're a mega-conglomerate.

01:28:23.000 You should be broken up, first of all, so we gotta figure out ways to make the system so that it cannot grow to a place where we're gonna ever have to Interesting proposal, but a lot of the rules and regulations made the corporations as powerful as they are right now because they made smaller businesses and competitors at a disadvantage to the people who are friends with the politicians.

01:28:41.000 So do you think more rules and laws will save that?

01:28:44.000 That's a question that a lot of people are asking themselves.

01:28:46.000 I'm a little bit more skeptical of that.

01:28:48.000 I'm very libertarian for the most part, but there's one thing I think the government should be focused on is breaking up monopolies and making sure people don't become economic slaves.

01:28:58.000 But at the end of the day, they're the ones who are going to be able to get around all the laws.

01:29:01.000 There's no law that you could write that would make Jeff Bezos do anything.

01:29:05.000 Right.

01:29:05.000 Well, you can make him free the software code of his systems.

01:29:08.000 Copy left.

01:29:10.000 I can't make it, but you can make it illegal not to.

01:29:13.000 I don't agree.

01:29:14.000 They, they, all that happens is, it's like, there's 50 million cracks in the surface, and you are plugging one of those cracks.

01:29:22.000 Yeah, but I can't give up, this is like if the Founding Fathers sit around like, there's nothing you can do to stop King George.

01:29:27.000 Nothing.

01:29:28.000 I would never- I'm not living that life.

01:29:29.000 It's not the same thing.

01:29:30.000 I mean, it's kind of like we're having that same conversation all over again with corporations, now it's Jeff Bezos.

01:29:34.000 It's the- you're inverted.

01:29:35.000 It would be like the king saying, there's nothing we can do to- But like, if the founding fathers gave up before they started, I can't give up on this.

01:29:40.000 There are definitely ways we can use law and order to protect ourselves.

01:29:43.000 The government would be the crown in this analogy, trying to stop Jeff Bezos.

01:29:45.000 No, I think it's Bezos.

01:29:46.000 I think Bezos and the- not Jeff, particularly Jeff, but I'm saying megacorps are the modern-day monarchy.

01:29:51.000 The problem is we're not fighting fair.

01:29:54.000 At the end of the day, if we're fighting against Jeff Bezos, it's in the court of law and they have the power in that circumstance.

01:30:03.000 If we're fighting hand-to-hand combat like they did in the Revolutionary War, maybe we have a chance. 0.99

01:30:08.000 Public opinion is where it's all at.

01:30:10.000 What makes you think that the government's going to work in the benefit of the people?

01:30:13.000 They never have.

01:30:14.000 There have been studies proving that it's a scam.

01:30:16.000 The special interests, the people with the money, essentially call the shots, push the laws.

01:30:20.000 They get them passed because they want them passed.

01:30:23.000 And they're the ones that are served here, the super rich. 0.86

01:30:25.000 We have socialism for the super rich, and everyone else gets screwed.

01:30:29.000 That's essentially the system that we're living under right now.

01:30:31.000 That was the lesson of COVID.

01:30:32.000 Amazon made how much money?

01:30:33.000 Yeah, Amazon, Walmart, Costco.

01:30:35.000 They did a study and found that public opinion has no effect on what bills get passed.

01:30:39.000 Only the opinion of the top 1%.

01:30:41.000 Yeah.

01:30:42.000 Lobbyist.

01:30:43.000 And the people with the money.

01:30:44.000 Literally.

01:30:44.000 When they would look, they tracked public sentiment on certain issues, and then bills being passed, no correlation.

01:30:49.000 Right, yeah.

01:30:50.000 Democracy is a scam.

01:30:51.000 The Founding Fathers didn't rely on their government to save them from King George, they just made a new government.

01:30:56.000 I mean, so that's basically what has to happen then.

01:30:58.000 Of course.

01:31:00.000 Here we are.

01:31:00.000 Yeah. The revolution starts here. So the issue is I don't think it's that hopeless. I think

01:31:04.000 the fact that Trump got elected shows that you can get somebody in. And I think what needs to

01:31:11.000 happen now is Robbie Starbuck, he won his court battle, he's back on the ballot. We need to go

01:31:16.000 out in the primaries and vote for people who actually want to help this country.

01:31:21.000 So here's the problem.

01:31:22.000 As someone who lives somewhere and I try desperately, you have to find people willing to do it.

01:31:27.000 And you have to find people willing to stand up to... I spoke to so many people, I again live in Montgomery County, Maryland.

01:31:34.000 I spoke to so many people who were incensed by what happened in Montgomery County.

01:31:40.000 They closed the schools the longest.

01:31:42.000 We were subjected to all the COVID rules the longest out of anywhere else in Maryland.

01:31:46.000 And people are terrified of standing up and just saying what they think might be an unpopular thing or submitting themselves to the mob of, you know, when you run for office, people think that they own your soul and they try to destroy you.

01:32:02.000 Yeah, I'm thinking about how do you stand up against a government?

01:32:17.000 But the thing is, when I say we need a new government, it's not that we need to trash the U.S.

01:32:20.000 Constitution.

01:32:21.000 It's great.

01:32:21.000 It's the corporations I'm concerned with.

01:32:23.000 And we can use our government and the structure of the Constitution to defend against that.

01:32:28.000 The best way to make a government obsolete is to not need it and not to depend on it.

01:32:32.000 And that's why personal responsibility is my choice of a solution.

01:32:37.000 Letting people be happy, healthy, and productive, and just overall living a good life is something that, of course, the state does not want you to have.

01:32:46.000 And I think if we did, we wouldn't need a lot of the government that we have in our life.

01:32:50.000 What do you do when the dude who's like two miles upstream from you and your friends' little farmhouses starts taking a dump in the water?

01:32:58.000 What do you do when Monsanto poisons the entire food supply, when they create GMO everywhere?

01:33:03.000 What do you do when they have control of entire crops that literally spread throughout the entire world that there's no stopping?

01:33:10.000 So that's the situation that we're dealing with, but now we have Monsanto protected by the state.

01:33:14.000 That's what bothers me.

01:33:15.000 So Monsanto's protected by the state.

01:33:17.000 If we didn't have a state... We agree on that.

01:33:19.000 When you then get to the circumstance where somebody is upstream from you, and it's a legitimate question, I'm not getting you, How do you, like, what's the effective way to respond to someone who's not willing to cooperate with you and they're, like, polluting your water?

01:33:33.000 Very good question.

01:33:34.000 I know the big corporations are doing it already.

01:33:36.000 I'm like, how do we solve that?

01:33:37.000 My counterpoint is, yes, it's already happening.

01:33:40.000 We'll deal with that problem as it comes.

01:33:42.000 But that problem is less of a problem with that one individual compared to a multinational corporation That literally has a monopoly and could do whatever they want and are destroying the soils.

01:33:53.000 When we look at the larger impacts of it, is it an individual stopping this and stopping this one person?

01:33:57.000 Okay, fine.

01:33:58.000 I would argue that there would be less harm, there would be less pain, there would be less suffering if there was more decentralization.

01:34:05.000 Because of centralization, we have Monsanto, we have Glyphosate, we have the rise of horrible cancers, we have the rise of factory farming, we

01:34:13.000 have the destruction of our soils that's getting rid of the nutrients and minerals in there

01:34:17.000 that's creating very severe health problems for the rest of the country.

01:34:20.000 So I would argue that with this system we have more pain and suffering than if we didn't

01:34:24.000 have this kind of system and if we had more decentralized ways.

01:34:27.000 Then what happens when you get a monopolistic power like Monsanto regardless?

01:34:32.000 People argue from this perspective that of course the market would respond.

01:34:36.000 People would know that they would be voting for and supporting something with their dollar and they would be doing so.

01:34:40.000 But that's an argument to be made here.

01:34:44.000 That some people are making the other perspective of it is, of course, that they're so powerful that they can't be stopped and they'll be willing to do what they can.

01:34:51.000 I'll tell you.

01:34:52.000 In California, you have these small farming communities with no water because of the drought.

01:34:57.000 Yeah.

01:34:57.000 And the farmers couldn't get surface water because it was voted to go to the cities.

01:35:01.000 So they would drill thousands of feet into the earth for groundwater.

01:35:04.000 The small farming, you know, migrant houses only went down 30 feet for their wells. 0.98

01:35:08.000 So their wells ran dry very, very quickly.

01:35:10.000 This was devastating.

01:35:12.000 And what happens is the people in the big cities are like, why should I care to vote in favor of those people?

01:35:19.000 It doesn't matter if it's your dollar or your vote, your ballot.

01:35:22.000 The same thing would happen.

01:35:24.000 That's why I'm like, I don't know what the solution is, be it the state protecting or the private company just hiring private military to protect themselves.

01:35:32.000 I mean, I think a lot of this sort of goes back to what we were talking about, like the atomization of people just don't care about, you know, their fellow man anymore when we have nothing in common with people and we don't know who our neighbors are.

01:35:42.000 You don't care about if someone downstream two houses down, you're taking a dump in their water because you don't know who they are and you don't care anything about them.

01:35:49.000 I mean, this is the sort of breakdown of community that Tim Carney talks about a lot.

01:35:53.000 Ben Sasse talks about a lot when we have no connection to our larger community.

01:35:57.000 And you don't even know.

01:35:58.000 I mean, do you know who your neighbor is?

01:35:59.000 Do you know his name?

01:36:01.000 I live in an RV.

01:36:04.000 And when I do, I do.

01:36:06.000 I met an excellent, awesome, my last stop was in Sarasota.

01:36:11.000 As soon as I pulled into the RV, there's a culture there.

01:36:13.000 I had three people back, you know, help me get my RV into my position.

01:36:18.000 Afterwards, two people came to me and they're like, hey, are you hungry?

01:36:22.000 We got food here.

01:36:23.000 We're doing a barbecue there.

01:36:24.000 I got two offers for dinner.

01:36:26.000 And we talk about politics and get into different perspectives.

01:36:31.000 And people, especially in the RV community, are a lot more open and a lot better than a lot of other people in closed communities in big cities.

01:36:40.000 Yeah, because it's very, sort of, everyone has to help each other.

01:36:43.000 I drive around here, people wave.

01:36:45.000 They're super cool.

01:36:46.000 People are ready to communicate.

01:36:47.000 It's just a matter of doing it.

01:36:48.000 Yeah.

01:36:48.000 We're gonna go to Super Chats.

01:36:49.000 If you haven't already, smash that, would you kindly smash that like button?

01:36:53.000 Subscribe to the channel, share the show if you really do want to help us out, and head over to TimCast.com, become a member.

01:36:58.000 We're gonna have a members-only show coming up at 11 p.m.

01:37:00.000 Monday through Thursday.

01:37:01.000 We do this.

01:37:02.000 We'll have one up tonight for you.

01:37:03.000 Let's read some of these Super Chats. 1.00

01:37:06.000 Super Chats. 0.91

01:37:08.000 All right, Outside Sound says, just saw the biggest beanie I've ever seen in a billboard on the corner of Halstead and Chicago Avenue in Chicago.

01:37:15.000 Nice work, guys.

01:37:15.000 You are the media captains now.

01:37:17.000 That's right, big beanie.

01:37:18.000 You are the media captains.

01:37:20.000 The agency sent me the photos of the Chicago ads.

01:37:23.000 They're crazy.

01:37:24.000 Great. 0.85

01:37:24.000 I didn't realize how big they are. 0.85

01:37:25.000 One of them's like, I think it's like 50 feet tall or something.

01:37:30.000 Can we keep them afterwards?

01:37:31.000 Yes.

01:37:32.000 That's awesome.

01:37:33.000 Are they physical media?

01:37:34.000 They're physical vinyl that they print out.

01:37:36.000 You should go get them.

01:37:37.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:37:37.000 They mail them to us, I guess.

01:37:38.000 I just got to pay the shipping and they send them out.

01:37:41.000 It's not that expensive either.

01:37:43.000 So the other thing is, I just found out, we're getting free Times Square ad slots.

01:37:49.000 So we're gonna be rolling up some more ads.

01:37:52.000 Nice.

01:37:53.000 Yeah, I mean it says something interesting about the traffic in Times Square right now.

01:37:58.000 Yeah, so here's the funny story.

01:38:00.000 We bought two billboards, and right now they're just big, tin-cast ads right next to each other.

01:38:05.000 And when I was in New York, I noticed one of them was off.

01:38:08.000 It was a digital billboard screen.

01:38:09.000 It was off.

01:38:10.000 And so when our ad ran, there was just a single ad.

01:38:13.000 And so we're getting additional space to add on to it.

01:38:17.000 So I was like, cool, cool.

01:38:18.000 We're going to do some cool stuff.

01:38:20.000 We've got some plans for the next few months and the marketing strategies we're going to be doing.

01:38:24.000 And we're going to be doing culture jamming as marketing.

01:38:27.000 So we're just going to You know, mischief.

01:38:32.000 Yeah, just massage the toes of the culture. 0.98

01:38:34.000 Mischief.

01:38:36.000 You know, just like we're gonna put up ads and we're gonna do things that are gonna make people go, what?

01:38:40.000 You gotta stimulate that lymphatic flow of the culture.

01:38:42.000 I mean, it kind of reminds me of Fahrenheit 451 when you like awaken people to the... when you kind of open their eyes to what's going on.

01:38:51.000 What's the website for the Minds Festival?

01:38:53.000 It is festival.minds.com.

01:38:54.000 Let me double check that.

01:38:56.000 Festival.minds.com.

01:38:57.000 We're going to be there on the 25th, right?

01:38:59.000 Yeah, the 25th of June.

01:39:00.000 It's going to be huge.

01:39:01.000 It's going to be like James... Did they announce?

01:39:04.000 Tulsi Gabbard, yeah.

01:39:04.000 Okay, good.

01:39:05.000 I almost said it, Tulsi Gabbard is going to be there.

01:39:06.000 Cornel West is going to be there.

01:39:08.000 James O'Keefe, me.

01:39:09.000 James O'Keefe, dude.

01:39:10.000 Yeah, Luke's not going to be there.

01:39:12.000 We'll see.

01:39:13.000 That'll be the selling point.

01:39:14.000 I got invited, but I don't know if I'm going to go.

01:39:16.000 You guys want Luke?

01:39:17.000 Say it in the Super Chats.

01:39:18.000 Give a Super Chat for Luke.

01:39:19.000 If you want Luke to come, smash the like button.

01:39:22.000 Because we can get him there.

01:39:23.000 And then if we get 20,000 likes, Luke's promised to go.

01:39:25.000 I never said that.

01:39:26.000 You guys are pulling my leg here.

01:39:29.000 I'm promising for Luke that he'll have to break his promise that I made up.

01:39:34.000 All right, let's see what we got here.

01:39:34.000 Dan says, Hey Tim, typically I listen via podcast and rarely get a chance to catch your live show.

01:39:39.000 Keep on keeping on, you guys.

01:39:40.000 Lydia is the best.

01:39:42.000 Also check out Stellaris if you think Civ games are awesome.

01:39:45.000 I love Stellaris.

01:39:46.000 Stellaris is great.

01:39:46.000 It's real time, but it is really, really good space game.

01:39:50.000 All right, Jeb Reed says every single Republican who signs on any gun control bill will have their political career ended.

01:39:56.000 They will be joining the private sector this fall.

01:39:59.000 Agreed.

01:39:59.000 Oh man, yeah, absolutely.

01:40:03.000 Dilly Dilly says Luke is back, nature is healing.

01:40:06.000 Is that what it is?

01:40:08.000 It's spring, springtime.

01:40:09.000 Springtime?

01:40:10.000 You were here in what, like February?

01:40:12.000 Yep.

01:40:13.000 All right.

01:40:14.000 They did that in 2016.

01:40:15.000 In 2016, they were like, oh, Russia, and they did an investigation.

01:40:19.000 They cried and they won.

01:40:20.000 in loss in 2024 and won't leave, they'll do what they accused of Trump in 2020.

01:40:25.000 They did that in 2016.

01:40:26.000 In 2016, they were like, oh, Russia, and they did an investigation.

01:40:30.000 They cried and they won.

01:40:32.000 All right.

01:40:33.000 RoboCat says, Luke, you are so cute.

01:40:34.000 Marry me.

01:40:35.000 OK.

01:40:36.000 Take it.

01:40:38.000 Whoa.

01:40:38.000 You just accepted your proposal?

01:40:40.000 Is that a verbal contract now?

01:40:40.000 That's that's that's not a verbal contract now. It's right already. I'm in trouble

01:40:45.000 Flambeau says you know what would fix all of our problems Graphene.

01:40:49.000 I know.

01:40:51.000 No, it's not a silver bullet, but this fene structure, this is this hexagonal lattice structure, they have it with boron too, borophene.

01:40:57.000 It really is.

01:40:58.000 Graphene, when we start producing this stuff en masse and start building stuff out of it, we're not going to need steel, we're not going to need copper as much.

01:41:04.000 It's going to be transformative.

01:41:05.000 Let's get Trump talking about this.

01:41:08.000 All right.

01:41:08.000 Blue de Goyer says, we have hens.

01:41:11.000 We've been glassing our eggs.

01:41:13.000 Can preserve fresh eggs up to a year with filtered water, a five gallon bucket and hydrated lime.

01:41:18.000 I think you can do technically two years, can't you?

01:41:21.000 They, uh, they're not as good after you've, you've, you've had them stored for a long time, but they're food.

01:41:28.000 Yeah.

01:41:28.000 You ever see glassed eggs?

01:41:29.000 No.

01:41:29.000 We have a jar downstairs.

01:41:31.000 Yeah.

01:41:31.000 They're like preserved, preserved eggs.

01:41:33.000 That's really cool.

01:41:33.000 Yeah.

01:41:33.000 They last forever.

01:41:34.000 Well, they last for like a year.

01:41:37.000 Samuel Pyle says, if there is not a red wave this election, I do not see it ending peacefully.

01:41:42.000 I completely disagree.

01:41:43.000 It's a midterm.

01:41:45.000 The presidential election year is going to be crazier because you have Congress and you have the presidency.

01:41:49.000 Right now, it's a midterm, so we'll see.

01:41:52.000 I don't trust any man or any person.

01:41:54.000 Revolution any any any highlighted evol oh like love Luke.

01:41:58.000 Do you think you would be disappointed if Dave Smith took the helm?

01:42:00.000 I don't trust any man or any person Everyone should have a check on their power. No matter who

01:42:07.000 it is, especially if they're part of a revolution revolutions usually turn

01:42:12.000 Into you know worst situations historically and I think the the commenter was talking about more of an evolution

01:42:18.000 And that was the kind of slogan by Ron Paul It was a revolution, but it highlighted the evolution part, which I think is much more important to concentrate on, especially when it comes to personal development.

01:42:29.000 Cool.

01:42:30.000 Coldy Locke's production says, my state, Nebraska, never locked down either.

01:42:34.000 And while we had a mask mandate, loads of people flat out ignored it.

01:42:37.000 And IRL was, was, and IRL2 was scarcely enforced only in Omaha and Lincoln was it really enforced.

01:42:45.000 Interesting.

01:42:48.000 What do we got?

01:42:48.000 David Toronto says Florida was a bit strict for a while.

01:42:52.000 Missed stopped all the all the crap a little before Florida and we have constitutional carry.

01:42:58.000 I don't think Florida has constitutional. 0.82

01:43:00.000 Not yet.

01:43:00.000 Yeah.

01:43:01.000 Yeah.

01:43:01.000 And it's about to.

01:43:02.000 Yeah.

01:43:02.000 Democratic places like Miami definitely weren't largely representative of the entire state.

01:43:08.000 Matt Lucas says, 13-gallon tank times $6 equals $78, slash 17-gallon tank times $6 equals $102, slash $15 per hour net pay $996.65 in CA.

01:43:21.000 Something has to give.

01:43:23.000 That's right.

01:43:24.000 When the cost of driving to work exceeds the amount of money you make, people will just stop.

01:43:28.000 Someone said that.

01:43:29.000 She's a stay-at-home mom in this large families group, and she said, I have to go back to work to pay for my husband's gas so that he can go to work.

01:43:36.000 Wow.

01:43:37.000 That's insane, man.

01:43:38.000 We don't know this interest of the Federal Reserve.

01:43:42.000 Why don't they just use private jets?

01:43:43.000 I don't get it.

01:43:44.000 I don't understand.

01:43:45.000 Did you guys see the ADP jobs report?

01:43:47.000 The small businesses were completely gutted.

01:43:50.000 It's like medium to large businesses were all fine, but small businesses were all wiped out.

01:43:53.000 That's not surprising.

01:43:54.000 I mean, I have several... I mean, I'm friends with a lot of the kosher businesses in my area, and they're very frank about the... I mean, like, Jesus, talk about money.

01:44:04.000 and they they talk about like their their chicken costs and their their labor costs and everything and they're just like I have to raise my price by 35 because I have no alternative and then people don't want to buy their stuff anymore because we can't feed our family for under 100 bucks anymore so I mean we don't get as Chinese as much Ardwick says, Biden isn't lying.

01:44:26.000 The economy is great.

01:44:27.000 Have you seen the revenue numbers now that everything is costing triple or quadruple what they did 16 months ago?

01:44:31.000 It's like that Dan Aykroyd skit from Jimmy Carter when he was like, don't you want to own a $5,000 suit?

01:44:37.000 Smoke a $50 cigar?

01:44:39.000 Own a $5,000 car?

01:44:40.000 All that stuff.

01:44:41.000 I remember that one.

01:44:42.000 Yeah.

01:44:43.000 It's great, isn't it?

01:44:45.000 CJ Steadman says, if you think having an electric car is a solution, wait until the brownouts hit this summer.

01:44:50.000 That's the other thing they're not telling you.

01:44:51.000 If every car was electric, the grid could not handle it.

01:44:54.000 That's just... Yo, it's crazy, man.

01:45:00.000 in incompetent hands says my hat says make america florida i wear it every day but can't remember where i got it some loser i guess i wonder where he wound up i puke nightly but only from all of the potatoes and whiskey shim cast for life i would be careful with that potatoes and whiskey diet and and are you talking about maybe this hat uh that i also have here coincidentally make america florida it's got one of my favorite shirts yep Tulsi Gabbard?

01:45:24.000 Good.

01:45:24.000 Jones says Fox News is pushing red flag laws like CNN.

01:45:28.000 Watch the A Block of the Five.

01:45:29.000 Tulsi, Gutfeld, Perino, and the rest were all aboard.

01:45:33.000 As a conservative, I am sick of Fox.

01:45:35.000 Tulsi Gabbard?

01:45:36.000 Tulsi's in favor of gun control for a while.

01:45:38.000 Good.

01:45:39.000 I want to talk to her about it.

01:45:41.000 But that's okay.

01:45:42.000 She's also wrong about nuclear power.

01:45:44.000 Gutfeld is wrong.

01:45:45.000 Perino.

01:45:46.000 But I assume Jesse Waters was not in favor of red flag laws.

01:45:50.000 Red flag laws will mean that armed police can just come to your house and violate your Fourth Amendment rights.

01:45:56.000 That's it. 0.96

01:45:57.000 That's ridiculous. 0.95

01:45:59.000 It's going to be abused just like every other power that the government has. 0.98

01:46:02.000 Yep.

01:46:04.000 Let's see, SoAndNB says, SoAndDB, or however you pronounce it, between Ian FreeTheCode Crossland and Luke HatesGatesRydkowski, I'm surprised you guys haven't had Linux put on all the office computers yet.

01:46:17.000 That'd be good.

01:46:17.000 We have Linux on a lot of them.

01:46:19.000 Yeah.

01:46:20.000 I'm going to start veering away from calling it FreeTheCode, free software, because it's confusing, makes it sound like you can't sell it.

01:46:25.000 You can.

01:46:25.000 It's called copy left software.

01:46:27.000 It's different than copyright, because the copyrights are free and left and open.

01:46:32.000 Morgan H says, Ian, please get excited about thorium.

01:46:34.000 We need thorium reactors to solve our power issues.

01:46:36.000 Yeah, I've heard great stuff about thorium for about 18 years.

01:46:39.000 Have you guys been following it?

01:46:40.000 Same exact thing.

01:46:41.000 It's just super hot metal that doesn't produce the nuclear waste byproduct, but I don't know enough about it to go deep yet.

01:46:46.000 Well, it's like, it's a liquid system, isn't it?

01:46:48.000 I don't know.

01:46:49.000 Thorium salt reactors?

01:46:51.000 Yeah, where you melt the salt and then you get endless amounts of heat from the molten salt.

01:46:54.000 It stays hot overnight.

01:46:55.000 We can keep boiling water when the sun goes down.

01:46:57.000 Here we go.

01:46:58.000 Mike Gibson says, There is a Popular Mechanics article from October 1st, 2009 by Daniel Tam Claiborne about burning saltwater with 13.6 MHz frequency microwaves.

01:47:09.000 13.6 MHz.

01:47:10.000 Here we go.

01:47:11.000 Dude, you gotta check out John Kansas.

01:47:13.000 It's K-A-N-S-U-S. 1.00

01:47:15.000 Saltwater burns on YouTube.

01:47:17.000 There's video of it from like, 2008.

01:47:19.000 And it sets off a 1600 degree flame.

01:47:22.000 It's basically, and you see a gap between the salt water and where the fire starts, just like on the sun.

01:47:27.000 Below the corona you see that gap where there's no flame.

01:47:30.000 So I think the sun might be getting a frequency that's making it light up like a flame ball.

01:47:33.000 So if we can get the salt water, which is done in a test tube in the lab, but taken into low orbit where it coagulates into a sphere, and then you run the current through it, it's gonna light up like a star.

01:47:43.000 Yo, this is crazy.

01:47:44.000 JoshOhMyGosh says, Tim, a friend of mine works at a baby formula plant, and he said the problem isn't the production.

01:47:50.000 It's the shipping.

01:47:51.000 He says the warehouse is full of baby formula.

01:47:53.000 I blame the lockdowns and diesel costs.

01:47:56.000 Wow.

01:47:57.000 Yeah, a lot of drivers don't want to drive because it costs more to drive than than it is what they're getting paid to drive the trucks.

01:48:03.000 Yeah, I mean, that's everything.

01:48:04.000 That's not just baby formula.

01:48:05.000 It's everything under the sun.

01:48:06.000 That's why we have supply chain shortages of everything.

01:48:10.000 Steve Brown says, Tim, if you need a luthier, give me a shout out.

01:48:14.000 Is it lutier or luthier?

01:48:15.000 How do you pronounce that?

01:48:16.000 I don't know.

01:48:17.000 Luthier?

01:48:17.000 Guitar maker?

01:48:18.000 We do!

01:48:19.000 We should do some custom... We talked about this a while ago.

01:48:22.000 Custom Tim Cass guitars to hang up.

01:48:24.000 Email spintheufo at gmail.com and then we will figure out custom guitars.

01:48:31.000 I would like all of my wood to be rare and imported from exotic places.

01:48:36.000 Or just, you know, I don't know, maple or whatever you make a guitar out of.

01:48:39.000 Something nice.

01:48:41.000 Yeah, I'm thinking the guitar body could be a T-looking thing with the I as the neck and the M on the body.

01:48:46.000 You could make it out of wood from the Endurance on the bottom of the ocean.

01:48:50.000 They just found the Endurance.

01:48:52.000 Get the guitar made out of the wood of the Endurance.

01:48:54.000 Wow, that'd be crazy.

01:48:55.000 I don't know if it would sound good, though.

01:48:56.000 No, it'd sound terrible.

01:48:58.000 It's all about saying it's made out of wood.

01:49:01.000 Mike Rollman says I drive 425 miles a day delivering pharmacy drugs to nursing homes.

01:49:06.000 Like everyone else, I can't afford an electric car.

01:49:09.000 I also don't believe in them for many reasons, some of which you mentioned already.

01:49:13.000 Ruben Pedroza says, Master Automotive Tech here.

01:49:16.000 Your cars are now digitally controlled.

01:49:18.000 Your car is constantly monitored via GPS and internal CAN systems.

01:49:22.000 Your steering, speed, and braking can be controlled already.

01:49:25.000 You will own nothing, and you will be happy.

01:49:27.000 Yeah, so I was mentioning this the other day.

01:49:29.000 Basically, every car is self-driving now.

01:49:30.000 Yeah, and they can be repoed very easily without your consent.

01:49:35.000 So I have a Tesla, and it's got self-driving.

01:49:38.000 We're all excited.

01:49:38.000 You're on the road, and you go boop, boop, and the thing, and then all of a sudden, you're like, whoa, it's driving itself.

01:49:42.000 And it's like, keep your hands on the wheel.

01:49:43.000 And then it cruise controls, and the wheel turns, and it's driving, and we're like, wow.

01:49:48.000 And then I got a Honda Accord.

01:49:49.000 Same thing.

01:49:50.000 No different.

01:49:51.000 What?

01:49:51.000 Yeah, Honda Accord has a button, you press it, and it just drives the car for you.

01:49:54.000 My Honda Odyssey from 2018 does not have that, I can tell you right now.

01:49:58.000 Really?

01:49:58.000 I can tell you right now.

01:49:59.000 Yeah, 2019 Civic has it.

01:50:00.000 Yeah, no, I mean, I bet you my 2023 Ford Transit will not have that either.

01:50:06.000 So, I'm thinking, what, in 10 years, no one will own cars?

01:50:09.000 You ever see those bird scooters or lime scooters or whatever all over the cities?

01:50:13.000 You ever see those scooters lying around?

01:50:14.000 Oh, the annoying things that people trip over all the time?

01:50:16.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:50:17.000 Cars are gonna be like that.

01:50:20.000 No.

01:50:20.000 Absolutely not.

01:50:22.000 No.

01:50:22.000 But it's not going to work.

01:50:24.000 I mean, this is my internal bugaboo, like the war against families.

01:50:27.000 You cannot do that with kids.

01:50:29.000 You have car seats. 1.00

01:50:30.000 You have crap. 1.00

01:50:31.000 I have a snack box in my car. 1.00

01:50:33.000 I have a diaper box in my car.

01:50:35.000 I'm not mobile.

01:50:36.000 I wish I were.

01:50:37.000 I wish I could just jump on a scooter.

01:50:40.000 Well, this is why it's going to be more convenient to be in a pod, on a VR set, traveling in your virtual car.

01:50:44.000 This is why it's going to be more convenient not to have children.

01:50:47.000 This is the end goal here, is to stop us, the breeders. 1.00

01:50:51.000 What people don't realize about the self-driving car revolution, this is what's going to be funny.

01:50:56.000 They talk about how Uber is going to be all self-driving, no drivers.

01:50:59.000 The cars are going to be owned by Uber, you're going to call, and the car itself will pull up, and you'll get in.

01:51:03.000 We see it in modern sci-fi films that they've been making in the past several years.

01:51:07.000 The cars are just good to go.

01:51:10.000 What will happen if you walk into the middle of the street?

01:51:14.000 Right as a car, a self-driving car is speeding.

01:51:16.000 It's going to slam its brakes on and stop, right?

01:51:19.000 So people knowing they can't get hit will just jaywalk everywhere and all the cars will constantly be getting jammed up and stopped.

01:51:25.000 New York will be chaos.

01:51:27.000 You won't be able to drive in New York because if people know there's no- They want that.

01:51:31.000 But sure, but if they switch to self-driving cars, you still need to deliver things, right?

01:51:35.000 So if the trucks are doing deliveries and they're all self-driving, people are going to be like, I can't get hit.

01:51:39.000 And so no one will ever stop for the crosswalks.

01:51:42.000 Yeah, but people don't actually put two and two together.

01:51:44.000 It's kind of like with everything going on with diesel shortages and whatever, people don't put two and two together that when gas prices go up, their grocery prices go up.

01:51:54.000 And so New Yorkers are going to love jaywalking and they're not going to put two and two together.

01:51:58.000 That's the point.

01:51:58.000 They're not getting deliveries.

01:51:59.000 That's my point.

01:52:00.000 My point is no one will stop for a self-driving vehicle.

01:52:03.000 There's no one to get mad at them.

01:52:05.000 But they're not going to understand that New York becoming more and more unlivable is a product of their own doing.

01:52:11.000 That's my point.

01:52:13.000 The cities will collapse because people are going to be like, I don't care.

01:52:17.000 And they're just going to walk in the street and the cars are going to be stuck and unable to move.

01:52:21.000 Then there's going to be a self-driving car.

01:52:23.000 You're going to call it, but no one will stop walking because they won't care about a robot.

01:52:27.000 They're like, there's no one in the car to get mad at me.

01:52:30.000 No one to complain.

01:52:31.000 And they're never going to stop.

01:52:32.000 You're making an argument for facial recognition.

01:52:35.000 Citizen, you have been issued a ticket.

01:52:37.000 Not when there's 300 people every 10 seconds crossing the street like you see in New York.

01:52:42.000 Unless you have a social credit score and facial recognition systems like they do in China, where they just take a photo of you and automatically deduct your money out of your bank account. 0.82

01:52:49.000 That's where we're headed.

01:52:50.000 An ideal, maybe ideal thing is tunnels in cities.

01:52:53.000 I know Elon's been working with a boring company, one of his companies, to bore tunnels.

01:52:56.000 But like, could you imagine New York City, how cool it would be if you walked out of your house and it was just grass?

01:53:00.000 But you know how long it's taken them to build the east side subway system?

01:53:05.000 They're never going to actually do it.

01:53:07.000 They spent like 30 million dollars on one staircase in Times Square.

01:53:10.000 30 million dollars!

01:53:12.000 Insane!

01:53:14.000 I wish it were in the kit.

01:53:15.000 Such a scam.

01:53:17.000 I went to high school in New York City.

01:53:18.000 I'm a graduate of New York City Public Schools also and it's not a great scene.

01:53:23.000 No.

01:53:23.000 All right, we got Brony Ninja.

01:53:25.000 He says, I'm from, I'm home from Winnie City Pony Con.

01:53:28.000 Oh, cool.

01:53:29.000 I went to Danny's and Villa Rosa, as you suggested.

01:53:33.000 They're just as good as you said.

01:53:34.000 They were happy seeing your shout out with 430,000 views.

01:53:37.000 Also tried Lou Malnati's, Giordano's, Portillo's, and Home Run Inn, A plus all of them.

01:53:42.000 Lou Malnati's is good.

01:53:43.000 Giordano's is good.

01:53:44.000 Portillo's, we ordered a whole bunch.

01:53:45.000 We got a bunch of hot dogs here.

01:53:46.000 Those are fantastic.

01:53:47.000 Home Run-In is absolutely delicious.

01:53:49.000 But those are the tourist things in Chicago.

01:53:51.000 Villa Rosa and Danny's Pizza were the local pizza places.

01:53:54.000 I used to eat at when I was growing up.

01:53:56.000 And I was actually surprised Villa Rosa is still around.

01:53:58.000 Because it's, I was like a little, this is like 30 years now.

01:54:00.000 They've been in business longer than that probably.

01:54:02.000 But I'm like 30 years ago we'd order pizza and it'd be from Villa Rosa.

01:54:05.000 So if you are in Chicago, that was the place we would always get our pizza from.

01:54:08.000 Yeah, check out Danny's.

01:54:09.000 Danny's was further away.

01:54:10.000 So, depending on where we were, it might have been Danny's, but it was typically Villa Rosa.

01:54:13.000 Check out the art of pizza on North Ashland, too.

01:54:16.000 Apparently they're still around.

01:54:18.000 Man, that's some mega deep dish.

01:54:21.000 Really good.

01:54:21.000 Really big deep dish.

01:54:22.000 You might as well just get spaghetti.

01:54:24.000 It's like eating a shot of pizza.

01:54:26.000 You eat it, and then it expands slowly over time.

01:54:29.000 So if you eat two really fast, you get really... Lenny's Pizza in Brooklyn.

01:54:33.000 That's all I have to say.

01:54:36.000 All right.

01:54:37.000 Based for Life Radio says my son will be participating in a homestead homeschool co-op for kindergarten, learning how to care for chickens, livestock, gardening, composting, aquaponics.

01:54:47.000 Shout out Based for Life Radio for independent, anti-establishment, grunge punk rock.

01:54:52.000 It's what you gotta do.

01:54:53.000 You gotta teach your kids how to take care of the chickens.

01:54:55.000 Do you guys know about the placebo effect?

01:54:57.000 Oh yeah.

01:54:58.000 You're probably familiar with it.

01:54:59.000 And there's the nocebo effect, which is also a big trip.

01:55:01.000 The scientific method can't really account for why the placebo effect seems to work, but in the medical industry, they're not allowed to tell a patient, you're getting healthier, because they can get sued if the patient dies.

01:55:10.000 I wonder if in the education system, they're not allowed to tell a kid, you're succeeding, you're gonna be great, you're gonna solve the world's problems, because they think there's some liability.

01:55:18.000 But kids need to hear that.

01:55:19.000 They need to believe that they're great.

01:55:21.000 To do great.

01:55:22.000 I feel like that's all kids nowadays hear.

01:55:24.000 All they hear is they're great.

01:55:26.000 Yup.

01:55:26.000 And then they get trophies.

01:55:27.000 Participation approach.

01:55:28.000 Hearing it and believing it, like having it honestly said is different than... Yeah, but who says anything honestly nowadays?

01:55:34.000 I do.

01:55:36.000 Alright, here's an interesting one.

01:55:37.000 We got TRD- I can't read your name, dude.

01:55:39.000 We have five vehicles in my household, converted all of them to compressed natural gas.

01:55:44.000 We fill them with a small scuba-style compressor from our residential gas line for 75 cents per gallon.

01:55:50.000 CNG is 120 octane, no power loss, 300 plus miles of range.

01:55:55.000 How do we do that?

01:55:57.000 That sounds amazing.

01:55:58.000 I want a natural gas car.

01:55:59.000 I heard about that, right?

01:56:00.000 Super cheap.

01:56:01.000 It's methane.

01:56:02.000 Yeah, we should.

01:56:02.000 I don't know, is it methane?

01:56:03.000 They use it in Europe, too, because of the, you know, how expensive the gas is there.

01:56:09.000 So, yeah, I've saw, in Poland, I saw a couple people even use, like, have those tanks in the back of their trunk and set up their car to run on both.

01:56:20.000 So we got all these chickens.

01:56:21.000 We're going to have to eat these roosters. 1.00

01:56:24.000 I'm not going to complain.

01:56:25.000 There's like three of them screaming outside my window every day.

01:56:27.000 Three?

01:56:28.000 We have like 15 of them.

01:56:29.000 When they all start chiming in, that's a while.

01:56:31.000 There's three silky roosters.

01:56:33.000 Do they wake you up at 5 o'clock in the morning?

01:56:34.000 I've started to get used to them.

01:56:35.000 They were in the beginning, 4 o'clock, 7 o'clock.

01:56:37.000 So that's like me with my kids.

01:56:39.000 Yeah.

01:56:39.000 I just ignore them.

01:56:40.000 I treat it like traffic now and it doesn't bother me because I grew up on a busy street.

01:56:43.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:56:44.000 That's what I do with my kids.

01:56:45.000 We're building the boys dorm and we're expanding it for Damastan.

01:56:48.000 Because right now Roberto's over there, and then we have the triplets we call them, and they're nasty. 0.93

01:56:52.000 The triplets are mean roosters.

01:56:54.000 We thought Roberto was going to go in and tell his sons what to do, but they were not having it, so we had to separate them.

01:56:59.000 It was not nice.

01:57:00.000 But Roberto, you know, he's retired.

01:57:02.000 He's an old man. 0.95

01:57:03.000 You know, so we got to take care of him.

01:57:05.000 To follow up what you were saying about your kids, are you kind of like, let them cry it out kind of mom?

01:57:10.000 I will not get out of bed before 6.30 unless there's some real screeching going on.

01:57:16.000 Which, like, I had a kid who was sick all weekend and today is, what, Tuesday?

01:57:20.000 Like, today still feels like Friday because I haven't slept.

01:57:23.000 But I will go in there when there's, like, a kid with 103 fever and sick.

01:57:28.000 All right, Rian Gao says, Tim Pool says, salt water is not a solution.

01:57:32.000 Chemists yelping everywhere.

01:57:34.000 That's funny.

01:57:35.000 Yeah, that was a good one.

01:57:36.000 That was a good one.

01:57:37.000 It's not a mixture.

01:57:40.000 1776's Life says, as a farm kid living in a small city, I started growing my own food and hunting fishing more.

01:57:46.000 My family can rest easy for our food storage, but please make sure everyone knows how to preserve food.

01:57:51.000 If you ever need to try hunting, hit me up in Illinois.

01:57:54.000 We, uh, we made jams last year.

01:57:56.000 We're gonna do it again this year, because we have mulberry trees everywhere!

01:57:59.000 I picked way too many strawberries at the strawberry farm on Thursday.

01:58:03.000 Oh, strawberries are great.

01:58:04.000 Yeah.

01:58:04.000 We have, uh, wineberry season is about to start.

01:58:07.000 So the entirety of, like, Appalachia is just riddled with these wild Chinese raspberries.

01:58:13.000 And we made, we made raspberries.

01:58:15.000 I made lemon wineberry jam.

01:58:17.000 I made wineberry.

01:58:18.000 Is this like a parting gift when I leave?

01:58:20.000 We don't have any for you, no, I'm sorry.

01:58:21.000 And if we did have it, I would not give it away.

01:58:23.000 We have frozen wineberries.

01:58:25.000 We made a mulberry jam, and then I made a mulberry-wineberry, mixed them together.

01:58:29.000 And then we also have blackberries, we had black raspberries growing, and we have tons of pawpaw.

01:58:38.000 I was, I didn't realize because pawpaw season they call it hillbilly banana.

01:58:41.000 Yeah.

01:58:41.000 It's in end of September, October.

01:58:44.000 And so I'm looking at the trees and I see like three and I read how they're like hard to grow and they're hard to pollinate so they're kind of rare and I'm like okay well maybe we'll have a handful to try out.

01:58:53.000 When pawpaw season came, you couldn't walk through the forest without getting hit in the head by a pawpaw.

01:58:58.000 They were everywhere.

01:58:59.000 You would shake a tree and like 15 would fall down.

01:59:02.000 And then we ended up having like 50 or 60 of them.

01:59:04.000 Brought them in and nobody could eat them because there's just too many.

01:59:07.000 But they're delicious.

01:59:08.000 And they're just everywhere.

01:59:09.000 It's fantastic.

01:59:10.000 Yeah.

01:59:10.000 I should bring my kids back here.

01:59:12.000 Yeah, I think you made a bread, didn't you?

01:59:14.000 Yeah, I didn't put enough sugar in it, so it kind of came out, uh, mealy.

01:59:17.000 Kind of grainy.

01:59:18.000 I think it needed to be like, uh, maybe boiled or cooked before.

01:59:22.000 You need to just do it like a regular banana bread recipe, but using pawpaw.

01:59:24.000 Yeah, something like that.

01:59:25.000 And then, oh man, you know what was really great?

01:59:27.000 Chive grows before grass when the season starts changing.

01:59:31.000 So we had crazy chive everywhere. 1.00

01:59:34.000 It's so good.

01:59:35.000 We were putting it in everything.

01:59:36.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:59:37.000 My daughter walks around eating onion grass like it's actual food. 0.98

01:59:40.000 It is!

01:59:40.000 It is food.

01:59:41.000 It's delicious.

01:59:41.000 No, I know.

01:59:42.000 I mean, she just eats it.

01:59:43.000 She walks outside.

01:59:44.000 I'm like, you know the dog pees over there, right?

01:59:46.000 She doesn't care.

01:59:47.000 Well, it's all food, right?

01:59:49.000 Alright, let's grab a couple more Super Chats.

01:59:52.000 One Mountain Mama says, look up C11 in Canada right now.

01:59:55.000 Canadian content creators will be moving to the US.

01:59:59.000 I know a few who are trying to.

02:00:00.000 What are they, banning free speech?

02:00:02.000 Again?

02:00:03.000 Or whatever?

02:00:05.000 Gorhent says, can you guys please address the fact that Tulsi Gabbard is a World Economic Forum Young Leaders member, the same as Dan Crenshaw.

02:00:12.000 They look good, but go closer.

02:00:14.000 Anyone in the World Economic Forum is an emperor, not a leader.

02:00:18.000 So here's what Dan Crenshaw said.

02:00:21.000 He said he has nothing to do with that list.

02:00:22.000 It's an editorial they put out on people they like.

02:00:25.000 Now, that means a lot.

02:00:27.000 If the World Economic Forum is saying, these are people we're looking at, I'm kind of like, why?

02:00:31.000 But it doesn't mean they're directly involved.

02:00:32.000 So I'll ask Tulsi, you know, when we do this event.

02:00:35.000 We'll see.

02:00:36.000 And Dan, you know, feel free to come on the show.

02:00:38.000 Dan's not coming on the show.

02:00:39.000 We've been waiting, and I think it would be great to have a conversation where we could go over, you know, a lot of the misconceptions that people have.

02:00:46.000 He agreed to come on, then his guy said they were scheduling conflict, and then the outreach is canceled on us.

02:00:51.000 I know.

02:00:52.000 I just flew for that.

02:00:53.000 Oh, that's right.

02:00:53.000 We flew you out here like it.

02:00:54.000 I flew here.

02:00:55.000 That's probably why they canceled.

02:00:56.000 They're like, oh, they brought Luke back.

02:00:58.000 Can't do it.

02:00:58.000 We can have a cordial discussion that I think would be very productive for everyone involved.

02:01:02.000 Alright, everybody.

02:01:03.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button?

02:01:05.000 Unfortunately, we did not get to 20,000 likes, so Luke will not be coming to this event in New York, as I promised for him.

02:01:11.000 Who wants to go to New York City?

02:01:13.000 I promised for Luke that if we had 20,000 likes, he'd come, but... What is it right now? 11.

02:01:18.000 Oh, that's not even close.

02:01:19.000 Not even close.

02:01:22.000 So no Luke, but don't worry, everyone will puke. 0.65

02:01:24.000 You can subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends, head over to TimCast.com.

02:01:27.000 We're gonna have that members show coming up for you about 11 p.m.

02:01:31.000 And you can follow at TimCast IRL everywhere.

02:01:33.000 Follow us on Instagram for clips we put up every day.

02:01:35.000 You can follow me at TimCast everywhere.

02:01:38.000 Bethany, do you want to shout anything out?

02:01:39.000 Yeah, so heroesofliberty.com is the children's books that we do on Ronald Reagan, John Wayne, we talked a lot about like masculinity and stuff and this is sort of our antidote because teaching boys that it's not a bad thing.

02:01:52.000 It's not toxic.

02:01:54.000 And you can follow me on Twitter, Bethany Shonder.

02:01:57.000 So I was looking at the chat during the show and I just wanted to shout out the person who called me a dollar store Bill Maher.

02:02:05.000 That one got to me.

02:02:06.000 I kind of look like him too.

02:02:08.000 Absolutely.

02:02:08.000 And Julian Assange.

02:02:09.000 If Assange and Bill Maher had a baby, I think so.

02:02:13.000 Anyway, also people are asking me who's on my t-shirt.

02:02:16.000 It is, of course, the late John McAfee.

02:02:19.000 This is a t-shirt that I have available on thebestpoliticalshirts.com.

02:02:22.000 I have another different version only available for members on lukeuncensored.com, as well as two videos coming out today.

02:02:30.000 One of an original report, another with health misconceptions.

02:02:34.000 If you want to see all of that, sign up on lukeuncensored.com.

02:02:38.000 Hope to see you there for a very important conversation.

02:02:40.000 Thanks for having me.

02:02:41.000 In addition to bending light with sound, I want to give you four words to remember me by here for until tomorrow, maybe.

02:02:47.000 Turbostratic, twistronic, flash graphene.

02:02:51.000 Remember those words?

02:02:52.000 Turbostratic, twistronic, flash graphene.

02:02:55.000 Look up those three things.

02:02:56.000 Flash graphene, turbostratic graphene, and twistronic graphene.

02:02:59.000 When you put it all together, you're going to be 3D printing some megastructures.

02:03:02.000 Certainly such an object was dreamt up by you, Ian.

02:03:06.000 Oh, yeah.

02:03:06.000 I believe there are AI working on it as we speak.

02:03:10.000 Oh, this is really funny.

02:03:12.000 I told the AI, write me a story about Ian developing a cost effective means of producing graphene.

02:03:16.000 And it actually wrote how to do it.

02:03:18.000 Yeah.

02:03:18.000 Oh, yeah.

02:03:18.000 Yeah.

02:03:19.000 They were talking about chemical vapor deposition, which is that's rudimentary at this stage.

02:03:22.000 That's like five year old technology.

02:03:23.000 Now we're using lasers to pound carbon and turn it into like layers of it to make these like, you know, super conductive materials.

02:03:31.000 I'll go deeper at another time.

02:03:34.000 And before I go, I wanted to read one super chat.

02:03:36.000 I've never done this before.

02:03:37.000 I thought it was kind of important.

02:03:38.000 It's from Aaron Preston.

02:03:39.000 He says the DEF shortage is due to the fertilizer shortage.

02:03:42.000 Urea is a component of both.

02:03:44.000 Eat or drive, you will have to choose.

02:03:45.000 Which is a very interesting observation because we're actually talking about that in Slack.

02:03:49.000 Urea is a component of fertilizer.

02:03:50.000 It comes from bat guano.

02:03:52.000 You guys may follow me on Twitter and Minds.com as Zara Petlitz.

02:03:55.000 You can also catch me tomorrow where I co-host on Pop Culture Crisis with Brett and Mary.

02:04:00.000 It's always a lot of fun.

02:04:02.000 There's nothing to worry about with gas prices.

02:04:04.000 I mean, if DF is short, it's like I can eat, you know, we can all eat or drive because I have electric motorcycles.

02:04:10.000 I have several of them.

02:04:10.000 Yeah.

02:04:11.000 Just just buy an electric motorcycle or a Tesla.

02:04:13.000 What's the big deal?

02:04:14.000 Thanks.

02:04:15.000 I have guns, so I also feel pretty confident.

02:04:17.000 Yeah.

02:04:17.000 Yeah, what is the joke?

02:04:19.000 The people who don't have guns are stocking up for the people who do?

02:04:24.000 Alright everybody, we'll see you all over at TimCast.com.
