Hunter Biden, the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, is under investigation by the FBI for allegedly colluding with a foreign power to get a loan of $5 million from a Ukrainian company. The media is completely ignoring the story, and we're here to talk about it.
00:01:01.000James Rosen, investigative reporter for Sinclair, says a DOJ official confirms that there is an FBI criminal investigation into Hunter Biden that is still active pertaining to money laundering.
00:01:13.000The Democratic presidential nominee's son is currently under active investigation by the FBI for crimes related to everything that has been revealed in these emails.
00:01:24.000Tony Bobulinski has released documents, and the media isn't covering it.
00:01:57.000And it'll be, you know, if Joe Biden gets elected even though he's corrupt and we have evidence of his family's corruption, I mean, it's good, you know, it's a good thing.
00:02:06.000I mean, like, they spent three and a half years just screaming nonsense conspiracy theories about the President of the United States colluding with Russia, and then we have an open investigation about a presidential candidate's son essentially colluding with a foreign power, right?
00:02:19.000Because he was working with the Ukrainians, or he was working with a Ukrainian company.
00:02:23.000Well, yeah, his father told the Ukrainians there was a solid quid pro quo, had them fire an investigator who was looking into Burisma, which is a company that paid him up to $50,000 a month.
00:02:39.000And this isn't, this story isn't just, uh, the media going after right-wing press trying to smear a family member of a presidential candidate to do a guilt by association thing.
00:02:50.000These are things Joe Biden very well could have been involved with.
00:02:58.000Look, if it's true that Joe Biden used his son and his brother as an intermediary to get massive money, like a no-interest loan of $5 million from China to never be paid back.
00:03:13.000And if his son was getting a lucrative job on the board of an energy company in a country where the dude doesn't speak the language and has no experience and he's getting $83,000 a month, I don't think it's that big of a deal.
00:04:16.000We actually don't like Joe Biden or think it's good that the media is ignoring his story.
00:04:20.000If Biden's son, Hunter, was actually involved in like an international money laundering scandal, it's not that big a deal because it's Joe Biden.
00:05:36.000And now he has come out saying that the editors at his own company that he co-founded are refusing to publish damning information about the Biden family.
00:05:46.000And they wouldn't even let him, even though he has a contract guaranteeing his right to do so, they wouldn't let him publish anywhere else.
00:06:23.000DOJ official confirms FBI 2019 criminal investigation into Hunter Biden still active.
00:06:28.000And they say, A Justice Department official has confirmed to Sinclair Broadcast Group that the FBI opened up a criminal investigation into Hunter Biden and his associates back in 2019, focused on allegations of money laundering, and that the probe remains active.
00:06:42.000Sinclair investigative reporter James Rosen has also spoken with a central witness in these allegations, which suggests that former Vice President Joe Biden knew more than he has acknowledged about his son's overseas dealings.
00:06:55.000Tony Bobulinski was thrust in the national spotlight on the evening of the final presidential debate.
00:07:00.000It was on that night the former business associate of Hunter Biden claimed Democratic nominee Joe Biden knew about his son taking payments from Chinese and Ukrainian companies and strongly suggested he got a kickback.
00:07:11.000Bobby Alinsky discussed why he feels if elected, Biden would be compromised by the Chinese government and much more in an exclusive interview with Rosen.
00:07:20.000Quote, the compromise they have is that in the documents that have been well provided to the Senate, to Congress, to the Department of Justice via the FBI, that CEFC was effectively loaning money directly to the Biden family.
00:07:36.000And this is getting swept under the rug.
00:07:39.000The story's just two hours old, right?
00:07:40.000Let me just, I don't even know if it's that, I think it's relatively new, but I just wanna stress, yeah, maybe.
00:07:46.000The Democratic presidential nominee for the most powerful position in the world, his son, is under a criminal investigation by the FBI for money laundering.
00:09:53.000Rosemont Seneca was the name of the company that was receiving money.
00:09:57.000Blue Star Strategies was a PR firm that represented them and had emails sent to the State Department complaining about the investigation.
00:10:04.000There's a bunch of separate instances, and I want to be careful so I'm not going to go through them specifically, where you can follow this timeline where this PR firm was like, yo, what's going on?
00:10:50.000And he said, call the president, see what he says.
00:10:53.000$1 billion in guaranteed loans you will not get unless you fire this guy.
00:10:59.000And Matt Taibbi, in his writing, he says he contacted officials, long-standing liberal journalist Matt Taibbi, mind you, formerly of Rolling Stone, said potentially 13 to 14 active and inactive investigations against this guy.
00:11:11.000When Joe Biden got this guy fired, he goes, sure enough, son of a B, guy gets fired.
00:11:18.000The new guy who came in cleared Zlochevsky of all wrongdoing.
00:11:21.000Zlochevsky was then able to return to Ukraine, and it wasn't until 2018, all of a sudden, he had to flee the country again when more corruption charges emerged.
00:11:30.000So why was Hunter Biden getting between $50,000 and $83,000 a month to be on the board of a company for which he has no experience, doesn't speak the language, I mean, at the very least, how would they know it was fake?
00:11:41.000Now the mainstream news repeatedly says it's fake news, it's not true.
00:12:08.000Maybe Hunter's just a savant, and he started there as a janitor, and he was writing on the chalkboards, and he just knew everything about energy he needed to know, and they're like, let's give him a $50,000 to $80,000 a month position, despite the fact that he literally has no formal training in anything related to this field.
00:12:22.000And now, man, I tell you what, I was watching The Five earlier, and sometimes I wonder if, like, they put Juan Williams on that show just to get someone to, like, you know, like a punching bag.
00:12:32.000Because the dude, just, he's very emotional and clearly doesn't know what he's talking about.
00:12:52.000And they're like, because the accusation is not that Joe Biden joined a company in China when he was vice president.
00:12:59.000The accusation is that while Joe Biden was vice president, he flew his son, Hunter Biden, Air Force Two to China for private equity investment deals.
00:13:51.000I think they realized they screwed this dude over.
00:13:54.000And now I'm not going to impugn the honor, Tony Bobulinski.
00:13:58.000I don't know why he's coming forward now, but I do want to point this out.
00:14:01.000If he knew that he was meeting with Joe Biden in secret, it's like part of the story he told you, like in the bar, like no one can see them and they're talking.
00:14:09.000If he knew the goal was to peddle influence, He's only coming out now.
00:14:58.000I can't imagine that the things we're seeing to this scale are just... I don't know how to describe it, man.
00:15:05.000But you've got some deeply crooked people in this country.
00:15:09.000And, you know, seeing what happened with Glenn Greenwald, The Intercept, there are evil... This is the craziest thing to me.
00:15:16.000How do you describe someone who knows they're lying and cheating to help corrupt individuals to stop because they hate Trump?
00:15:22.000Like, how do you describe someone that's willing to subvert the will of the people?
00:15:27.000That's the antithesis of this country, of democratic values, of liberalism, like classical liberalism, the idea of the individual.
00:15:35.000Not even just classical liberalism, but basic human decency.
00:15:39.000I mean, if you were a monarchist, or a despotist, if that's such a thing, or maybe a feudalist, you'd absolutely love your lords lording over you with unlimited power.
00:15:50.000And you'd want to serve them and just do whatever they want, if you're an authoritarian or a communist, I suppose.
00:15:55.000There are people in this country, in media and in government, who know that Joe Biden did these things, and they're going to protect him because orange man bad.
00:16:04.000Well, this is the irony of it, though.
00:16:05.000I actually think under a lot of those systems, people would be more likely to say, this person, even though they're in a position of authority over me, they're hopelessly corrupt and I might not abide by that.
00:16:15.000Well, I mean, they would because the system would require that they would, but it seems as if when you're in a democratic system and the leaders are chosen, you have to justify their behavior more often to justify your decision to have chosen them in the first place.
00:16:27.000So I think people are more likely to get on board and rationalize this kind of horrible behavior.
00:16:31.000I just think you've got blind tribalist zealots.
00:16:35.000Well, I think you're undermining the public's faith in our intelligence community and our media institutions.
00:17:10.000I'm going to go up the chain to the Council on Foreign Relations.
00:17:14.000That's where Joe Biden was when he said, Son of a B, I got fired.
00:17:18.000He was at a meeting for the CFR, and he was like, so I go and I got a billion dollar loan, and I say, if you don't fire the prosecutor, you're not getting the money.
00:17:40.000I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what.
00:17:42.000Every single thing they do they project they say 100% and it's and it's bad like, you know Trump is a death cult It's like dude Trump's got his sycophants for sure, but most people don't even think the name Trump on an average basis It's just oh, yeah, those free trade agreements are bad and they're gonna vote for him Well, also, I think that Trump's critics talk about him more than his supporters do.
00:18:05.000That's been one of the strangest things about the past four years is Trump is just on everyone's mind all the time, and it's not voluntary.
00:18:12.000The media is constantly talking about him, and it makes sense to talk about the president pretty frequently.
00:18:15.000They have in the past, but not like Trump.
00:18:18.000And you could say, well, he's an unprecedented president.
00:18:21.000He does a lot of things that we haven't seen in the past, but It clearly goes past that.
00:18:26.000It's a very strange obsession, and they like to nitpick, and we were talking about the two scoops thing earlier.
00:18:36.000Well, and also, they were claiming as soon as he got into the White House that he, like, removed a bust of Martin Luther King Jr., like, just cartoon villain stuff.
00:18:43.000It was like, it's in a photo, like, this story comes out, and they're like, he removed Martin Luther King, and the photo they used shows it, like, on the desk.
00:19:02.000Which is so insane, because if I am a racist with a racist base, wouldn't I just say racist things?
00:19:07.000Why would I say things that my base doesn't understand or think are racist when they're supposedly racist, but that Democrats will get mad about anyway?
00:20:01.000But, like, when the New York Times talks about certain things, of course, I'm literally using ABC, you know, source.
00:20:06.000I don't think it's partisan either because, like, the war in the Middle East and then Halliburton, Dick Cheney's company goes in and makes billions of dollars off of them.
00:20:17.000And Boeing sponsors Meet the Press, and MSNBC is owned by General Electric, which supplies weaponry and, excuse me, tools to the military that they make a lot of money off of.
00:20:29.000Dow Chemical makes pharmaceuticals and high-fructose corn syrup.
00:21:10.000It's gonna be inauguration day and he's gonna be, like, looking all silly and then he's gonna fall backwards, do a perfect, like, backwards somersault and then be like, Now I gotcha!
00:21:17.000I'm back, baby, I'm Joe Biden, this country is mine!
00:21:20.000And then a bunch of, like, Chinese guys run out and they're, like, making it rain.
00:21:35.000I don't know who assassinated Kennedy.
00:21:37.000What do you guys think about the Kennedy assassination?
00:21:42.000I want to highlight who James Rosen is.
00:21:47.000James Rosen was investigated by the Department of Justice Eric Holder As a possible criminal co-conspirator because he was reporting on the news.
00:21:56.000Fox News said, we are outraged to learn today that James Rosen was named a criminal co-conspirator for simply doing his job as a reporter.
00:22:03.000Obama prosecuted more whistleblowers and leakers than, I believe, all other presidents combined.
00:22:09.000This guy, Obama, not good on civil liberties.
00:22:12.000I thought he was going to like seal the Patriot Act, man.
00:22:15.000Yeah, well, he talked about all that, all the civil libertarian-esque things that he intended to do, and then he got in office, and his administration did a bunch of things that he supposedly didn't know about.
00:22:24.000That was the excuse that we heard for about eight years.
00:22:26.000I remember one of my favorite was when the IRS was targeting and auditing conservative-leaning organizations.
00:22:32.000That was just something the president didn't know anything about.
00:22:34.000If Donald Trump had done that, that would be creeping fascism.
00:22:52.000Like, you know, he wore a tan suit in order to drone strike on a civilian restaurant in Yemen that killed a 16-year-old American citizen, but he wore a tan suit, can you believe it?
00:22:59.000What was it, like, over 3,000 illegal drone strikes under his administration?
00:23:04.000Well, Trump has upped drone strikes, and he deserves criticism for it.
00:23:18.000One of the first things that Trump did when he got in was he ordered a commando raid in Yemen, which resulted in the death of a little girl.
00:23:24.000So Trump has his foreign policy blunders as well.
00:23:27.000I'm looking at the current trend of these peace agreements and withdrawing our troops, and I'm like, keep doing that, and you've got my support.
00:24:18.000It's horrible, but there is truth to the fact that there were a lot of civilians killed under Obama's watch, despite the fact that he talked a big game about wanting to bring about world peace, despite the fact that he won a Nobel Peace Prize.
00:24:51.000Isn't it kind of interesting that we were just discussing earlier some of the foreign policy blunders which have taken place under Trump, which is like kind of an understated blunder.
00:25:32.000I was talking to somebody I knew, who was like, it's time, everybody, you've gotta go and vote for Joe Biden to stop this.
00:25:38.000And I said something like, I was like, I can totally understand why people don't like Donald Trump, you know, his character and some of the things he's done, blah blah blah.
00:25:46.000And then I was just like, you're just never going to be able to convince me to vote for the guy who was vice president while they were blowing up kids.
00:25:53.000And the response was, what do you mean blowing up kids?
00:27:13.000We just killed hundreds of thousands of people and sent our troops over there with guns and a bunch of them died as well.
00:27:17.000There was a really great article, and I think this was in The Intercept, actually, which we'll get into next, that said something like, strangely, for the first time in several decades, the president is trying to withdraw forces and it's Congress trying to stop him.
00:27:31.000Whereas historically, the president has been trying to deploy forces and Congress has been trying to stop him.
00:27:36.000Keeping the forever wars going to own Trump?
00:27:38.000and now all of the craziest thing is when i hear these like lefty friends of
00:27:41.000mine being like well actually we definitely the presence in syria acts like
00:27:46.000yeah no joke we we must maintain a presence in the russia fear and it's
00:27:50.000not because of we must defend the kurds i've noticed this is while actually
00:27:53.000that there is a I won't give too much information, but he has always just been very to the left, and he was always very against the wars from day one.
00:28:00.000I remember that seemed to be his primary issue under the Bush administration.
00:28:03.000He was always talking about how we shouldn't be involved in the Middle East, and now he's criticizing Trump for not wanting a presence in Syria.
00:28:26.000We had Sean Parnell came on and was explaining why we don't want to just pull every troop out all at once because it creates a vacuum that then will be filled by military.
00:28:34.000Warlords and things like that. By the people we create, by the people we fund. Exactly.
00:28:37.000So it's a problem we created but pulling out isn't the solution to the problem. No, no, no.
00:28:41.000That's what they say. They say that every time. No, no, no, no, you're incorrect. Oh, continue.
00:28:44.000He said that we absolutely need some kind of presence but we can pull it down, we can draw it
00:28:50.000down like significantly. Slowly without pulling out a lot.
00:28:53.000Yeah, well he said we can take a lot of our current forces out of these places and still
00:28:57.000maintain a small enough presence to prevent the vacuum from creating.
00:29:00.000But like my friend who was in the military in Afghanistan, Charles Maxwell, shout out Charles if you're watching, said they just don't want to fight.
00:29:05.000Those guys, the Iraqis, the Afghanis, they just don't, not only did they not really, for the most part, they didn't want to fight, they didn't know how, they weren't trained.
00:29:15.000Listen, listen, you know, I think it was Ron Paul who said something like... My man.
00:29:20.000He said something like, people keep saying, oh, but if we pull out now, this, that, or that will happen.
00:29:24.000And he goes, when you're a doctor and you've given someone the wrong medication, you don't simply say, well, we better just keep you on it.
00:29:30.000And so there's been no effort, in my opinion at least, to do something about this.
00:29:34.000And at a certain point, look, I understand there's bigger arguments about, oh, the Chinese will move in, or Russia will move in, or whatever.
00:29:43.000Do the American people agree that we should be funding sending our, you know, men and women in uniform overseas just to live and build roads and build cities there and be effectively the government because the people there don't want to run it?
00:29:59.000But the problem is, when you elect a president who says, I'm gonna end our forever wars, and then he tries and Congress blocks him, it's clear, based on what we see with the media, what we're seeing with Joe Biden, what he gets away with, what the FBI, who they prosecute, who they don't, how Michael Flynn gets charged, how you get all this Russiagate nonsense, you know it's a big club and you ain't in it, you can see who is, and as long as you support their war machine, you're good.
00:30:22.000So when Donald Trump ups Jones strikes, you didn't even hear about it.
00:30:58.000And there were some people arguing that part of the reason that this actually accelerated the collapse of their government, it increased social instability.
00:31:06.000They were spreading themselves too thin by trying to be involved in this region.
00:31:09.000Whether or not you agree with all that, it's kind of ridiculous that our strategy was to get them involved in the Middle East and fund different Terror groups, which we didn't call them back then.
00:31:40.000Like this is a repeating pattern though, right?
00:31:42.000We created Al Qaeda and then we created ISIS.
00:31:44.000The idea is that they want limited war, so that we don't have total war.
00:31:49.000basically they're trying to avoid a world war sort of but also that there's
00:31:52.000this really insidious thing where so when you look at what happened in Libya
00:31:56.000and the fact that we decided for whatever reason that having Gaddafi
00:32:01.000remained in power was no longer something that was politically
00:32:05.000advantageous for you want like some kind of African Union of some sort of
00:32:09.000something I'm not you want to know I'm not exactly I know I'm not exactly sure
00:32:13.000what the reasoning was but I know that they ended up funding a coup against him
00:32:16.000and essentially the people dragged him out into the street castrated him
00:32:20.000sodomized him and murdered him I mean, I apologize, but the reason I'm being graphic here is because this is something that obviously we could never do to a foreign leader with our military, but if we fund a coup that does something horrifically cruel to a foreign leader, maybe we're just a little bit more intimidating, but we haven't violated the Geneva Convention.
00:32:39.000And then if we ever want to go in and overthrow them, they did some horrible war crimes, so we've got an excuse.
00:32:43.000After all that happened, I know some people who are doing work in diplomacy, international relations, And I was told one story about how after Libya was completely destabilized, you had essentially a Goblin King type scenario where, you know how the Goblin King works?
00:33:02.000So it's a cycle of just kill and then everyone piling the bodies on top and trying to- It's like the Roman Empire.
00:33:07.000So you had all these different militia groups, different sects, constantly fighting, taking over, and there was one point where when they finally got a, I'm doing air quotes here, stable government, one of the militias just walked in for a meeting and pulled a pin on a grenade and slammed it on the table.
00:33:20.000Like, that was one of the stories I heard from one of the people working in, like, yeah.
00:33:29.000It seemed, or I should say it seems, or it has seemed for a number of years that no matter which party is in power, this is ongoing.
00:33:36.000But Trump has actually been trying to remove us from this.
00:33:39.000And I don't know if it's because he has these sort of bleeding heart humanitarian concerns that we might have, but he realizes that this isn't good for the American people.
00:33:55.000After World War II, so I think to explain the counterpoint a little bit, they created the military-industrial complex Dwight D. Eisenhower talked about, where they started building American military bases all over the world to prevent World War III.
00:34:07.000Because World War II happened because everybody was isolated, one country got two.
00:34:43.000I'd be willing to have, you know, in that conversation with Sean Parnell, maintaining a much, much toned down presence just to prevent, you know, ISIS from forming and things like that.
00:34:52.000There's this whole debate over whether or not we should have a tiny presence there or no presence there.
00:34:56.000I think we should cross that bridge when we get to it.
00:34:57.000Let's just get the presence limited to some degree before we debate whether or not we should completely remove ourselves from these regions.
00:35:04.000It definitely has to do with diplomacy with China and Russia.
00:37:22.000That is like the most paranoid far-right conspiracy theory I've ever heard in my life, but it's the left wing which is espousing it.
00:37:30.000The idea that the USSR is still operating and the President of the United States...
00:37:38.000I believe that Russia has spread her errors, but the idea that they're still functioning as a communist government in some limited capacity and that the President of the United States is their puppet is totally insane.
00:37:49.000Or maybe they could be arguing that after the USSR fell apart, there was new management and Trump just decided to stick around.
00:38:24.000The crazy thing is about the fall of the Soviet Union.
00:38:26.000I'm far from an expert, but I have a friend.
00:38:28.000I know people who are in Ukraine and people from Poland and stuff.
00:38:32.000I asked, like, how is it that, you know, Ukraine has all these oligarchs, people who have, you know, ridiculous sums of money, they're wealthy by American standard, like, they're billionaires, you know?
00:38:42.000And the people of Ukraine, their GDP, like, they make an average of, like, 400 bucks a month.
00:38:46.000And I had a friend who told me, after communism collapsed, all of a sudden you had these communist workers in a factory shrugging at each other.
00:38:59.000And then all of a sudden, one day, a guy walks in with two other dudes and they all have guns, and he says, we're gonna tell you what you do.
00:39:12.000So the dudes who picked up the guns went around and just took the factories, and then it was theirs.
00:39:18.000You know, I tried to watch a documentary about the transition from the Soviet to the, what do you call it, the Democratic Yeah, I remember seeing a clip of that.
00:39:26.000is it the United? I have no idea. Whatever the Russian Federation and it's the dude with
00:39:31.000the Gorbachev and he and like a group.
00:39:33.000You put your head. Yeah, I think it's it with the birthmark.
00:39:35.000Didn't he do a Pizza Hut commercial and it was like this huge big thing? I think you're right.
00:39:40.000Yeah. Yeah. I remember seeing a clip of that. Yeah. They basically put Jason. Hey, did
00:39:44.000you know that? Do you know that Trump did a Domino's commercial? Yes.
00:40:22.000That after the fall of communism and these documents, like these dossiers and all the people were released, like their darkest secrets, there was just like a code of silence where everyone knew like the really awful things others had done and just agreed not to bring it up because everyone knew what they did too.
00:40:54.000It's possible that all of the pollsters are colluding with each other and laughing and saying, add a one, add a one, change that negative to a plus.
00:41:02.000It's possible that we actually wouldn't know.
00:41:16.000It's gonna be interesting nonetheless.
00:41:18.000I'm looking at, it's really funny on Twitter, you see all the leftists with their, like, electoral college predictions, and it's like Joe Biden, 350-something, Donald Trump, like, you know, 210.
00:41:27.000And then you have all the right-wing people.
00:42:28.000Check out this story from the Daily Mail.
00:42:31.000I'm telling you, man, when they write about this era with Donald Trump and Russiagate, this story is going to be one of the key portions of it, highlighted in the history books.
00:42:42.000And as much as there's probably a lot of people, you can't see it when you're in it.
00:42:45.000That's what I feel about these riots right now, too.
00:42:49.000They're going to be like the riots of 2020.
00:42:51.000They are going to write about the day Glenn Greenwald resigned and issued a scathing resignation letter saying that the people at his company are suppressing information.
00:43:02.000They refused to allow him to write about a major scandal involving the presidential candidate's son.
00:43:07.000And they wouldn't even let him publish in a third party, so he's forced to resign.
00:43:10.000Now we have the Barry Weiss resignation at the New York Times, saying it's like, it's a woke brigade, you can't go, like everyone's, it's ridiculous, it's not even news anymore.
00:43:19.000You had Matt Taibbi leave Rolling Stone, now he's publishing his own news on his own sub-stack and charging a couple bucks.
00:43:24.000Glenn Greenwald, the founder of The Intercept, this like, I remember when the NSA leaks dropped, and Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras, we had all this information, we learned about all this crazy stuff the NSA was doing, Edward Snowden flew And so now we're going to have this new beacon of hope in journalism.
00:43:37.000It's crazy Glenn Greenwald goes to Brazil launches the intercept with Pierre Omidyar
00:43:42.000There's a lot of criticism because Omidyar is the I think is the eBay guy
00:43:44.000And so now we're gonna have this new beacon of hope in journalism
00:43:48.000Today Glenn Greenwald forced to resign from his own company, and he said he started it to prevent
00:43:55.000Exactly what it's become Media the news media in this country has become a
00:44:01.000propaganda arm of the Democratic Party Period.
00:44:05.000So whose money got involved that prevented him from being able to publish this story?
00:44:09.000Because it seems to me the biggest problem here is he didn't stay independent.
00:44:12.000There's clearly some financer who was able to push him around.
00:44:14.000I don't think that's, I think it's that, and I don't know to what extent Glenn Greenwald manages this company, but if he's the founder, I mean it's his fault.
00:44:32.000It was actually a bunch of foxes and they were wearing gigantic fake chicken suits and they were like walking in and he's like, looks good to me!
00:44:41.000That's what they say about fox and chicken suit clothing.
00:44:45.000And then eventually he's sitting in this chicken coop wondering why there's no eggs coming out and he's like, Well, you know, I'm gonna go, you know, get a chicken here.
00:45:10.000That's how they're gonna describe in history books.
00:45:13.000The moment before the chicken suits came off.
00:45:15.000I hope that what we discussed... When Glenn Greenwald left the Intercept.
00:45:18.000There'll be like a historical record of some sort and it'll be like Glenn Greenwald's resignation was heralded, you know, and touted as this historic moment by podcaster and commentator and journalist Tim Pool, who said, it was like a bunch of foxes wearing chicken suits pulling their chicken suits off all at the same time.
00:46:03.000And then it's going to like get turned into some folk story where Tim Pool stumbled upon chicken suit wearing foxes in a literal penthouse and fought them all off.
00:46:12.000In a thousand years, there's going to be like... More like 200 years.
00:46:15.000It'll be like Abe Lincoln or George Washington's cherry tree.
00:46:18.000No, but like in a thousand years it'll be the epic of the chicken suit and it'll be a story about like Dom Pala, like the name's wrong and they're like the Chorkinsots and they're like, I wonder what a Chorkinsot was, you know what I mean?
00:46:35.000Anyway, now that we're very, very silly.
00:46:37.000My question about the Intercept, I don't know if you can draw it up, Lydia, if it's too much, is if it's a public company, if they took it.
00:46:44.000So it was a private, he never went public, and he still gave stock to too many people, so he lost 51% of the equity or something?
00:46:53.000No, no, no, it was privately funded by Piero Mediar.
00:46:56.000I don't know how he set up the corporate structure, but I'll tell you this.
00:47:00.000If you start a company, even if you're the founder, and you have 100 employees, and then one day it turns out they're all in a cult, what are you going to do?
00:47:09.000Well, you can if you're the owner, if you have more than 51%.
00:47:12.000I don't know to what extent, I don't know how Glenn Greenwald organized this company, but it seems like he put himself in a position where he was just a personality.
00:47:22.000And he signed over the company to Omidyar.
00:47:28.000I'll tell you what, it's kind of funny because it falls in line with kind of what we were predicting when he did it.
00:47:34.000You want to launch a news company and you get someone like Pierre Omidyar, this ultra-wealthy dude, don't be surprised when he eventually walks in and puts a boot down over all of your work and then you're forced to resign.
00:49:10.000He very much does not like Trump or the right wing at all.
00:49:13.000And Matt Taibbi, not that long ago, did a podcast where they were ragging on Trump that I thought was... Look, I think you're entitled to your opinions, you're not entitled to your own facts.
00:49:23.000And I think they had a lot of opinions that were based off of incorrect facts.
00:49:27.000And so I'm watching and I'm like, that's the media.
00:49:30.000I can't remember exactly what it was, but it was like, it wasn't the biggest deal in the world.
00:49:34.000For someone like, you know, Matt to come out and be like, we can clearly see this is bunk fake news that they're talking about with Russia.
00:50:05.000Because if they can lie about you and get you excised and banned from everywhere, Then it's only a matter of time before they just get anyone who's in their way banned, because they're... What do you mean, they get anyone banned?
00:50:15.000So, like, The Intercept could now start writing a bunch of stuff saying, Matt Taibbi, known white supremacist, and then eventually put false quotes against him, and then petition, you know, to get him banned.
00:50:24.000And all we've got is, like, the legal system is our... is our defense mechanism against the... But my private platform.
00:50:51.000And this is why I think one of their favorite words is alt-right as well.
00:50:55.000I mean, calling someone alt-right is not as extreme as calling them a Nazi, so you don't sound non-credible saying it, but it's just an opinion.
00:51:02.000There's really no definition of the term alt-right.
00:51:05.000It means ethno-nationalist, technically, but they just throw it around any way they want.
00:51:08.000The Associated Press has guidelines on what alt-right means.
00:52:44.000he's apparently like running around killing animals are doing something
00:52:46.000wrong and then finally uh... an angry mob comes for him and he's like i know i do
00:52:52.000Well, his friend who's black is like, I'm going to defend him.
00:52:55.000And so finally, when the mobs like surrounded him and ready to kill him, he goes, it was actually me.
00:53:00.000And then all of a sudden everyone's like, uh, and then Norm Macdonald, Norm Macdonald goes, I'm not going to be a part of an angry mob that's going after a black guy.
00:53:24.000And there's some kids standing there and they're like, let's destroy his life!
00:53:26.000And then also, literally, again, this was part of the nature of the story, but I'm surprised more people haven't pointed out the fact that they literally just told everyone where he went to school.
00:53:40.000And then they have the nerve to go out there and complain about how Trump's comments make them unsafe.
00:53:44.000You know what's really crazy about everything that's going on?
00:53:46.000I want to clarify something too, because we talked about this a bit yesterday.
00:53:49.000Spotify apparently never censored Joe Rogan and Alex Jones.
00:53:54.000Apparently what happened was, my understanding is it wasn't popping up on people's feeds properly, and they tried re-uploading it, and then it just made it disappear on everyone's feed.
00:54:03.000But it was there, just labeled wrong or something.
00:54:06.000People don't realize this, because it happens to me sometimes.
00:54:08.000I'll like, look at my podcast numbers and they'll be low and I'll go, no, and I'll look and there'll be like one number in like seasons or episode that moves it incorrectly on a list and then people can't find it.
00:54:18.000We would have, at Mines, man, a lot, a lot more than you'd realize, like people would upload stuff.
00:57:50.000You know, you're like weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I just, I follow, I have a list of people I follow from left and right journalists and news organizations, and I've got some great journalists that I follow that, you know, I see what they're talking about and follow, and then I check a bunch of different news outlets.
00:58:22.000Periodically there's stories I stumble upon pertaining to like censorship and tech and the internet and things like that.
00:58:39.000I'll read comments for my name, and I do it like a social experiment, because I studied acting since I was 15, and I would sit at lunch at college and just watch people walk around and interact, and just study people, study people, all day, study people.
00:58:52.000I'll study the comments when they talk about me.
00:58:56.000I see my name as a representative of an idea.
00:59:24.000Yeah, we let people use Twitter pretty young.
00:59:26.000And then there are people, it's funny because there are folks who aren't even public figures but they'll tweet something that goes viral and then it's super controversial and everyone's jumping on the bandwagon of criticizing them.
00:59:34.000It's like, I was reading a story about a woman who Tweeted something.
00:59:38.000I can't remember what it was, but it was pretty tasteless.
01:00:26.000And every now and then, you know, you just need to find a stranger to be angry at.
01:00:29.000There's a weird phenomenon with when someone gets famous off of a viral tweet that there's a tendency to want to keep doing that tweet over and over again.
01:00:37.000And you can drive people into these crazy holes.
01:00:39.000Well, yeah, because the last time you did it, you got a massive dopamine rush because you got attention from people.
01:00:44.000And so they're like, I'm going to do it again.
01:00:45.000And they get stuck in this idea that that's what made me famous.
01:00:49.000And then they put a link to their Venmo or their PayPal.
01:00:53.000They're like, I see that you're you're liking my tweets speaking of which guys paypal.com slash freedom to paypal.com Alba's make more so you would you imagine if like people people acted the way that you know They do on Twitter, but in real life, so they'd say something like yo Ian Seamus is dumb PayPal me at PayPal That actually does happen to me.
01:01:14.000When I go outside, people will say that.
01:01:16.000Whoever roasts me the best will get Venmo'd something.
01:01:19.000Well, I was thinking about this the other day, actually.
01:01:21.000It's kind of like a road rage-esque phenomenon.
01:01:23.000When you're driving and when you're on the internet, you're interacting with humans in a way where you're not really going to be held accountable.
01:01:29.000So we let the worst part of ourselves be exposed in a lot of those interactions.
01:01:34.000And so it's really sad, but I don't know if it actually causes the problem so much as it reveals what's already underneath.
01:01:40.000However, once that's been revealed, I think people habituate themselves towards that, because they can get away with it more often.
01:01:47.000So it does make you a nastier person, but it starts by revealing the nastiness that was already there, and it just builds upon it.
01:01:58.000When Jack Dorsey was on the Senate hearing, I guess apparently one of the Republicans asked him to name a single liberal his platform has banned, and he couldn't do it.
01:02:08.000I mean there I I couldn't they banned a bunch of Occupy Wall Street people.
01:02:12.000Yeah, this was like a year to like two years ago So they've done it for sure.
01:02:22.000Yeah, I think it's ridiculous and and it's like these are leftist activists of anti-war and why are they so that the big story with anti-media was Pinterest that Veritas uncovered that and But, on Twitter, I believe they also got the axe, as well as several Occupy accounts.
01:02:35.000I think there really is, like, a dark, uh, like, thing in people's minds.
01:02:39.000Like, humans are, like, got this weird dark fantasy, and I only notice it because, like, if you sometimes, when you play video games, when I play video games, or Dungeons & Dragons with someone, they'll choose to be a real evil character.
01:02:49.000Then, like, mm-mm, I'll rip his stomach out and eat it, and so you're like, what the god, what?
01:03:23.000Like, when you're playing Elder Scrolls, you'll quicksave, then go on a murder spree, and then reload and be like, okay, now that I got it out of my system and I'm, you know... We're really nice to NPCs playing video games.
01:03:34.000When we're on the internet with strangers, we're very much not.
01:05:33.000The creator of Pac-Man said the reason he wanted to create a video game that would cater towards females, and he said women are always eating.
01:05:39.000And it worked on this Pac-Man, but everyone loves Pac-Man though, too. It's not
01:05:44.000I had miss Pac-Man the Atari Just packing with a bow and here's the difference between
01:05:49.000Pac-Man and miss Pac-Man miss Pac-Man has a bow It's a much faster game is it yeah?
01:05:55.000It's significantly faster and also on the wall with your mouth open you keep well in the maps the maps actually
01:06:00.000change The original Pac-Man was the exact same map over and over and over again, and if you knew the right path to take, you could just keep doing that.
01:06:47.000Spelunky though is like, I wouldn't call it violent because they're little sprite creatures like, they're just like little, you know, it's not Mario.
01:06:54.000It's like some of that game is just like really just like the adorable little sprites and other stuff and it's like super dark and violent.
01:07:00.000Like throwing a dog onto the sacrificial altar.
01:07:09.000Like when we get to- so Skyrim is fun, but I want to play a game like an Elder Scrolls game where they can artificially generate in real time reactions from the NPCs, from the non-player characters.
01:07:21.000So like you'll walk into a village and they'll be like, what are you doing?
01:07:51.000I don't know what ever happened to it, but it was like during the primary and the storyline was that you were Andrew Yang and he throws money.
01:08:02.000Elizabeth Warren, it was, it was, I was really impressed because the dude who made it was a Yang supporter, but it was very offensive what Elizabeth Warren would do.
01:08:09.000Her super move was to summon a charging Buffalo.
01:11:07.000Without spoiling too much, and by telling you the villain was Jordan Peterson, you've already... So David Duchovny plays a guy, and I've already spoiled by telling you this.
01:11:19.000Because it's like the big reveal at the end or whatever, it's so dumb.
01:11:22.000But he writes a bunch of books about masculinity.
01:11:26.000And he literally refers to them as, like, disrupting order.
01:12:46.000I can't remember what it was, but it was like a cartoon that was moderately well produced, but nowhere near on par of like Batman the Animated Series and stuff.
01:14:41.000In the movie, when he says that we are order or something, I was like, dude, Jordan Peterson has said masculinity is order and femininity is chaos or whatever.
01:14:52.000And he's talking about, what, archetypes or something?
01:14:59.000Well, did the chat consider that maybe I want to watch?
01:15:05.000They break into a guy's house, and they turn him woke with magic.
01:15:10.000They take his bong, and they take a used condom, and they put him together, and they put a bunch of magic items in it, and then they wipe it on his pillow, and the next day, he's woke.
01:15:24.000That's like a horribly disgusting thing to do.
01:15:47.000This is in the trailer, so it's not spoiling too much.
01:15:49.000And the guy who they turn woke, he's mocking her and he puts his hands on her shoulders and then she like puts her hand up and he goes flying 20 feet through the air.
01:15:57.000So then she gets put in detention for hitting him and I'm like, what person in their right mind would see a guy go flying 20 feet and be like, that little girl must have struck him.
01:16:05.000They'd be like, whoa, what the, what's going on?
01:16:06.000Anyway, so when she goes home, her new stepdad, who is Jordan Peterson, He's like, it's an evil version.
01:16:55.000And she was like, what a grave injustice.
01:16:58.000So later on, there's like, Okay, man, I don't want to spoil too much, but I'm doing but but there's there's a moment where a character dies and Her new step family.
01:17:09.000There's like a ring of people a ring of men and and they're all snapping their fingers for some reason going like this It's a weird thing.
01:18:28.000Isn't it funny though, that like, if this is truly a Jordan Peterson stand-in, like that's the thing, like to boil him down to his worst trait would be the fact that he doesn't think masculinity is evil.
01:18:38.000He's writing books about what masculinity.
01:18:40.000The reason I say he's Jordan Peterson is because he said, you know, something about the order that they bring or whatever.
01:18:48.000Like, what he does with masculinity is order.
01:18:50.000And that, you know, Jordan Peterson is viewed as this villain by these people.
01:18:55.000And based on that, the general idea, I guess he's like an MRA or something?
01:21:03.000Well, this is something I talked about with the Babylon Bee guys, about like Christian films, but it also applies to what you're discussing, is so often people will try to tailor the media they're producing to a specific demographic, and they get really heavy-handed with it, but then That doesn't work.
01:21:18.000You just have to make something that you think is good or funny or whatever you're going for.
01:21:21.000And if your worldview matches up with your audience's, as it should if you've amassed followers, they probably agree with you about things, then that's just going to come through.
01:21:29.000You don't have to put an effort in to represent your worldview.
01:21:32.000It's just going to come out of you if you're being honest with the art that you're producing.
01:21:35.000Similar to singing and being a musician.
01:22:06.000So it's like the weirdest thing to me that this flip is happening where now when I watch, you know, internet cartoons that make jokes, it's, you know, freedom tunes.
01:22:15.000And then I turn on like Samantha Bee and I'm like, you're literally not telling me a joke.
01:22:18.000You're just insulting Trump, calling him a pig.
01:22:20.000This is funny because, um, I was, you wanted to watch my most recent video today.
01:22:24.000And while we were sitting down to watch it, the advertisement we got before it was for Trevor Noah.
01:23:55.000All these comedians who we're criticizing because we don't think their work is very good, I mean, almost all of them are certainly funny people.
01:24:01.000They could write good jokes, but they have a writing staff, I think, oftentimes that probably doesn't feel they need to put the effort in because they're pandering to a political subsection.
01:24:07.000It's like, as long as I say something they agree with, they'll think it's funny.
01:24:13.000Whereas I think if you just like try to put something out there that's zany and goofy and funny and makes you laugh, but it's about a political topic again, like the angle you're gonna take and what you are going to find funny is going to appeal to your audience without you needing to go overboard to make it clear.
01:25:17.000I just wrote a bunch of lines that sounded like really over-the-top things political personalities would say, and then in between each one, just, I agree.
01:25:24.000Because it's just an easy way to write it.
01:25:27.000But then I got progressively more and more ridiculous.
01:25:29.000That's got like a million views and it's like some yeah Well, I so I uploaded it in fans.
01:25:34.000Some of the fans were like, why did you go so hard on me?
01:25:38.000I literally I wasn't even trying to rip on him, but He commented the top comment I refreshed the video the day of because I was feeling kind of bad and the top comment was from the Rubin report And it said I agree That's the point He's cool, he was very cool, and I've met him, and he and I have actually, the video's not done yet.
01:25:58.000This video's been very much on the back burner for over a year, because I want it to be really good since Dave Rubin took the time to voice act in it.
01:26:04.000I don't want it to be one of the videos that I just complete in a week.
01:26:06.000But yeah, he and I got together and recorded a script for a new video.
01:26:13.000When you did the McCloskey's video, you show him holding the gun backwards.
01:26:18.000There's self-awareness on the right right now to, like, being made fun of and knowing why you're being made fun of that the left doesn't have anymore.
01:26:26.000And, like, even if you're right, you can still be ridiculous.
01:26:28.000Dude, there's just this group of people that saw Hillary Clinton's email scandal and chose to go cognitive dissonance, and then there's everybody else.
01:28:20.000Do you think of that kind of stuff as satanic or just not Catholic?
01:28:23.000I would say yeah, I would say generally satanic.
01:28:25.000I believe pagan is I don't think that's always the intention But I would say with a lot of stuff what they're doing like from what I was hearing about spirit cooking like that It's creepy over-the-line stuff that really like is a total affront to the dignity and value of human life Yeah, that is kind of I guess I would feel weird.
01:28:56.000I'll tell you what the crazy thing is.
01:28:57.000There was a Reddit account from somebody who posted saying, like, hey, I've got some emails that are very, very VIP that we gotta get rid of.
01:30:38.000There's not as many as you might think because these lower ranking and like regular rank-and-file politicians in Congress or whatever can easily be, you know, prosecuted or gotten rid of.
01:30:47.000But there's people like Hillary Clinton that seem to be absolutely invincible.
01:30:54.000But I want to stress, I want to stress.
01:31:00.000It could just be that people are politically biased, and the people who deleted the emails was a company.
01:31:06.000The official story, I suppose, was that she was supposed to have gotten rid of them a long time ago.
01:31:12.000And then at some point, they subpoenaed her, and she didn't instruct the company to do it, and the company went and destroyed them or something.
01:31:50.000Matthew Perkins says, please don't bring any more pet apologists like Vosh on.
01:31:54.000There has to be others on the left that don't dox and call women the c-word regularly.
01:31:58.000No, I will book whoever I feel is relevant and I don't like it when people post clips that are six seconds long and then try to make accusations about people without actually presenting a legitimate case.
01:32:08.000I got really annoyed when people are posting that video of Vosh.
01:32:11.000Because I don't know what the full context is.
01:32:13.000He said he was making a point about child exploitation being wrong, and they pulled it out of context because he worded it poorly.
01:32:21.000And if someone's gonna come to me and be like, look at this out-of-context video!
01:32:24.000It's six seconds long, you have no idea what anyone asked or what was said, and for all you know he was reading a super chat.
01:32:29.000That's like the most ridiculous thing ever.
01:32:33.000Evan, and I will say for people I book on the show, there's like a certain group of people that are demanding that I no-platform people, which is... Not gonna happen, man.
01:33:09.000And then me and Enrique got to talk after the show about, like, peace, like, peace, and using, like, having, turning the Proud Boys into a peace movement.
01:33:59.000Banning someone from a show after they were booked versus saying, we won't book them because we refuse to give them a platform, it's the same thing.
01:34:06.000If you're having relevant conversations in key political areas, and I'm not building an echo chamber, you know, it's like, if you want to have your ideas robust and strong, you must challenge them.
01:34:17.000Dude, I was at Burning Man, and speaking of echo chambers, there's like 60,000 Camps at Burning Man all playing a bunch of we're playing music.
01:34:26.000So there's like 30,000 different musics going on at once and it creates this Multi echo chamber where it creates a new form of echo.
01:34:34.000It's really interesting Yeah, there's something really funny that happens when you take like I lived in it I lived in an apartment with three guys won't is from France Italy and Spain terrible.
01:34:45.000Oh None of them spoke each other's first language, but they all spoke English as a second language.
01:34:50.000So they created this very strange colloquial vocabulary amongst themselves, creating their own weird isolated bubble.
01:34:57.000And there was a funny thing happened where, like, someone used the word defenestrate, and it was just like, it means to throw out a window.
01:35:21.000A bunch of different ideas, language meaning ideas, and they came up with all these rapidly different ways of looking at what they wanted it to become.
01:35:56.000So what happened with like this no platforming thing is at the exact same time with people complaining about Vosh saying you shouldn't give him a platform, the left is just saying the same thing about Alex Jones.
01:36:06.000Why is Spotify giving a platform to this man?
01:36:08.000There's a difference between banning blah blah blah.
01:36:10.000And I'm like, I would like to have Vosh and Alex Jones on the exact same time now.
01:36:13.000Create a cancel culture singularity Like everyone's like the whole show is banned outright.
01:36:19.000Yeah, or or it creates an inverse effect where it's like a charged black hole
01:36:23.000Yeah, exactly. Yeah, what a white it's called a white hole.
01:36:26.000No, they're different white Oh charged black hole is when a hole has to her eye of that
01:36:30.000horizons when a black hole and I think that you can Actually use them to super accelerate so that might be a
01:36:35.000form of like work Super-accelerated cancel culture.
01:36:37.000It would be really hilarious just to have on, like, a high-profile right-wing individual and left-wing individual who are, like, just, like, you know, bombastic and just... Fun.
01:38:23.000So I feel like I have most of your like speech pattern, like I could give most of your speech patterns if I worked at it, but the voice would be trickier for me.
01:39:07.000I mean, so I've mentioned this before.
01:39:09.000I used to be like a die-in-the-wool libertarian.
01:39:10.000I've become more of like, I've heard, I've had some people describe me as like Chestertonian, like kind of a limited government Catholic conservative, but I have heavy libertarian leanings.
01:39:42.000And then he said that right-populism is a, you know, I don't want to put words in his mouth, but essentially my understanding was right-wing will of the people enacted by the government.
01:39:53.000So that's why he said right-populism is fascism.
01:39:56.000What I do know is that if you actually look at the definition of fascism as was laid out by Giovanni Gentile and Benito Mussolini, it's even more insidious than just the state above all individuals.
01:40:05.000I mean, it's the state above literally everything, every other social institution, and everything has to be achieved within the state.
01:40:11.000You have, I think, Gentile writing, which is just a completely psychotic thought.
01:40:18.000On top of that, I mean, it's antithetical to virtually everything I believe as a Catholic.
01:40:22.000And the idea that, like, a limited government Catholic conservative position is anywhere near approaching fascism, I think is kind of ridiculous.
01:40:32.000Like, even if you were, you know, sort of a Catholic conservative who thought that the state should interfere more often than I do personally, I don't think that would be fascism either.
01:42:11.000And I was, I was like, I was in a cold sweat, pale, and just shaking with pain for like two days straight, and the painkillers weren't doing anything.
01:42:19.000It was, it was, it was the worst thing ever.
01:42:22.000I still have giant gaps from like 30 years ago when I got them out, or 25 years ago.
01:42:25.000My wisdom teeth, I remember when I had them out, which is why I don't have any wisdom anymore, get it?
01:44:36.000And we're going to take a computer, a separate computer, and we're going to run an audio out into our soundboard and point the camera at the laptop in the chair.
01:44:46.000So at the point when we're doing the call-in, we're going to put... I would like to make like a fake person with a computer for a head.
01:44:53.000You should have like a computer with wheels and then like a robotic arm so it can like grab a water bottle and like put it... Splash it and break itself?
01:45:00.000But yeah, so we're gonna do a... I'm gonna call in to Crowder.
01:45:04.000And we're gonna put a computer here and film the computer, and you'll see the audio from... So you will have to choose, I suppose.
01:45:11.000But what we're doing is not the same thing.
01:45:24.000You know, I'll come up here at the time when we do the call with Crowder, and then Crowder will be, like, you know, kind of on his show and my show at the same time, and I'll be on his show and my show at the same time.
01:45:32.000But there might be, like, I don't know, some random people just showing up.
01:46:37.000But I'll just tell you, there may be some really amazing, weird interactions where our past guests are all sitting around each other talking about this stuff.
01:47:15.000Royal Canadian Moose says, Do you think the beachhead that Trump had created in the culture war, that things will change when he leaves office?
01:47:22.000Or will it just have been a battle won in a losing war?
01:47:25.000If Trump loses, if they're like, I'm sorry, man, the Republicans have to win everything.
01:48:52.000He says, Governor Gretchen Whitmer rolled out more draconian orders, including giving restaurants our name and phone numbers to get service.
01:48:59.000Noncompliance equals $1,000 fine or six months in jail.
01:49:03.000Michiganders, go sign recall petitions Trump 2020.
01:49:17.000If Biden gets elected, it's going to get extremely severe, and then... They'll go, it worked!
01:49:23.000It's a shutdown, not a lockdown, which is an important distinction.
01:49:26.000Nothing's really been locked down in the United States.
01:49:28.000If Trump wins, I think it'll just reopen.
01:49:30.000Every time there's an election the people say this is the the biggest moment in our history every time there's a Year, this is the one this is it's like dude.
01:49:39.000It's always the one it's always Maybe it is maybe the stakes actually are continually being raised there wasn't in 2016 2012 in 2008 2004 there wasn't What are we on now month?
01:49:48.000in 2008-2004 there wasn't what are we on now month six is it six
01:50:41.000So I'm just saying the extent to which... The extent to which they have tried to destroy Donald Trump in office is unprecedented as far as I can tell.
01:50:54.000You know, we don't have kids coming back from a global trench warfare, so at least it's not that bad.
01:51:16.000When I was watching Juan Williams on Fox News, he was like, Jesse, I've got the Wall Street Journal that says Joe Biden had no role in these companies.
01:51:49.000Well, yeah, I think I was telling you about this a while ago, but there was a video I was making a while ago sort of parodying the Joe Biden Ukrainian scandal, and I looked up a fact check about it just to make sure I had everything right.
01:52:02.000It's good to read some, like, opposing information.
01:52:04.000And it was a similar thing where it was, like, it was factually accurate what the fact check was saying, but they were completely missing the point.
01:52:10.000So what they said was, well, there was no foul play here because, yes, while Joe Biden did have this, there was An instance where Joe Biden basically got an investigator fired by threatening to withhold aid.
01:52:21.000This was actually Obama administration policy and not something Joe Biden just came up with on his own.
01:53:46.000Nicholas Whitmore says, who remembers back in the 2016 elections when people thought Trump would bring on more war and Clinton was all about peace?
01:54:11.000That turned out to be disturbingly accurate.
01:54:12.000It does look like we're in for a civil war.
01:54:14.000I'm not going to say I guarantee it, but I'm pretty proud of myself for spotting that.
01:54:17.000When I was in California, I think it was 2015, maybe 2016, I used to sit there with a pit in my stomach thinking, we're going to get nuked.
01:54:23.000North Korea's going to fire a nuclear missile and hit us on the west coast.
01:54:48.000That's right, ladies and gentlemen, if you go to youtube.com slash Bragic, B-R-A-G-I-C, it's my buddy Brett Novak, and you can search for Tim Pool and Brett Novak and see, we've done a ton of videos over the past decade, past decades, and there's like, one of the earliest YouTube videos ever is him filming me skating in this warehouse.
01:55:06.000And it's not the greatest skating in the world, because I was just, we're just hanging out and screwing around in one winter.
01:55:32.000still functions in Hollywood and various university professors.
01:55:35.000Look, this is why I said Russia has spread its error, right?
01:55:37.000A lot of the ideas have moved in different parts of the world and infected people's hearts, minds, and souls, but the actual Russian government, the actual physical government of the U.S.S.R.
01:57:12.000Anthony says, Hey Tim, I really think a good guest to have is Dave Smith from Part of the Problem slash Legion of Skanks.
01:57:19.000He's one of the leading voices in the Liberty Movement and could give the best philosophical representation of anarcho-capitalism for this audience.
01:57:27.000Yeah, I don't agree with all of his takes, again, especially as I'm not as libertarian as I used to be, but culturally, I think Dave Smith makes almost all the right noises.
01:57:37.000Josh P. says, Tim, I know you've already said that you'll have whoever you want on the show, but due to his attacks on anime, I believe you should cancel all future Freedom Tune shows.
01:59:41.000Mitch2 says, Tim, thanks to you I have a newfound respect for anti-war, but I need to hear you talk with boots on the ground to get the full context.
01:59:48.000Please have Tim Kennedy, Jocko Willink, or Dan Crenshaw on to discuss foreign policy.
01:59:53.000I've never been in Afghanistan or Iraq.
01:59:56.000I've been in urban unrest and revolution in Egypt and things like that, so I've not been in a situation where I'm in a bullet-ridden building and they're shooting everywhere.
02:00:05.000But we had Sean Parnell on, and he was kind of like half in agreement, like, we need to draw down our forces, but we need to maintain a presence, otherwise we get a power vacuum that can create something like ISIS.
02:01:42.000He's just a Catholic saint I very much admire who came from that era.
02:01:45.000Yeah, he was the communist and the fascists.
02:01:48.000A big part of his ministry was about like sanctifying your life and yourself and becoming a better person and holier person through your work.
02:01:56.000Whereas because the communists have a strictly materialistic worldview, they think the only value of work can be the material which you create or the material that it provides you with.
02:02:04.000We just got a really, really great recommendation, and I think you have to make this.
02:02:10.000Denine says, we need a cartoon of Tim and Ben Shapiro talking and getting faster and faster until some wormhole in space-time opens up.
02:02:18.000Also, Obama called the right clingers.
02:03:30.000I was asking if you could do a Jordan Peterson impression if you were to parody Tim.
02:03:35.000It's like, all right, so let me think about Tim Pool.
02:03:37.000Tim Poole talks like, okay, so today Donald Trump did this thing that we have to look at because it's very important for us to examine this issue.
02:03:55.000Here's why that would be difficult, because when I did the Jordan Peterson imitating Tim Poole, I did the Jordan Peterson voice with the Tim Poole mannerisms, but I can't do the Tim Poole voice to do the Jordan Peterson mannerisms.
02:04:05.000The only Tim Poole impression I have is his mannerisms.
02:05:05.000I think it starts, maybe I've mentioned this before, but I kind of, I'll inadvertently notice that I'm sponging off of someone's personality if I spend enough time around them or like listen to enough of their content.
02:05:16.000Okay, I'm starting to turn into Temple.
02:05:19.000Especially when I'm animating, too, I'll listen to podcasts, and sometimes that person's voice will just seep into my brain, and then I'll realize that I'm using phrases that that person usually uses, and I'll flag and be like, oh, that's a phrase Ben Shapiro uses, that's not a Seamus phrase, and I put that in the Ben Shapiro voice category, and then later it comes back, which is part of why it's difficult for me to do impressions of people who I genuinely don't like.
02:05:41.000Usually my impressions of people who I like are a lot better than my impressions of people who I don't like because it's just aggravating for me to put myself in the headspace of a person who I genuinely find difficult to think about.
02:05:49.000Dude, I wrote some songs with really negative lyrics.
02:05:52.000It's hard to sing those songs over and over again.
02:07:19.000I don't tell them what they can or can't do.
02:07:20.000They do their thing, so I don't know what they're covering.
02:07:22.000I probably won't be on the ground for a while just because the more content I make, the higher my profile, and the worse security risks have become.
02:07:30.000So like, I stopped doing it because Antifo was threatening me and posting pictures of my mom and stuff.
02:09:22.000So when I was a little kid, we lived in the inner city, but we moved out to the suburbs when I was a small lad.
02:09:27.000But the entire extended family lived on the south side, so we were out there a lot.
02:09:31.000It's just, it's a small world because when I came and met Tim, like him and a number of other people here and a number of other people who have been guests are all from the same area.
02:12:39.000And I think, political or otherwise, we might be one of the, if not the only animated channel that does upload a new cartoon every single week.
02:13:06.000And we've also expanded towards... I didn't want all my eggs in the YouTube basket, so we've expanded towards taking on clients as well.
02:13:13.000So if you are a business or you work at some kind of think tank or religious organization... Or if you want to see mud wrestling... Yeah, yeah.
02:13:21.000But no, if you're looking for animation, hit us up.
