Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Elon Musk Warns Of Assassination Risk, My House Burglarized, Shots Fired w-Chef Gruel

00:00:00.000 This Saturday was pretty wild.

00:00:21.000 Me and Luke were out at Whole Foods.

00:00:23.000 I was grabbing a nice little quart of lobster bisque when I get a message that Elon Musk is live on Twitter Spaces talking about what was going on with the Twitter files, the things the government has been accused of doing in terms of censorship and election interference, just really crazy stuff.

00:00:39.000 And I'm walking around Whole Foods and I got this phone up to my ear listening to this crazy conversation when Elon Musk said something to the effect of, if I commit suicide, it's not real.

00:00:50.000 Because people were talking about the real threat to his life because of what he's doing.

00:00:55.000 Well, we have two things.

00:00:56.000 One, I mean, I think that's the big story.

00:00:58.000 Elon Musk was getting in a car and he said, I'm not doing any public signings ever again.

00:01:03.000 He's got security surrounding him.

00:01:05.000 He talks about how the threat of assassination is real.

00:01:08.000 And I think that's really interesting.

00:01:09.000 And it's also interesting how the media has been putting out this generic message of PR for the richest man in the world, all identical, like puppets being given marching orders.

00:01:18.000 It's very strange.

00:01:20.000 The crazy thing is, the story itself, Matt Taibbi, I think, did a great job, but he made a big mistake.

00:01:26.000 In the Twitter files, if you didn't see it, on Friday, they basically revealed that the Democratic National Committee was reaching out to Twitter for favors to take content down.

00:01:36.000 Now, in one of the tweets, Matt Taibbi said he didn't see evidence that government was involved.

00:01:40.000 However, Jack Posobiec followed up with an FEC document showing the head of SiteTrust, or whatever, Yoel Roth, saying that he had been reached out to by the FBI, that there would be hacked information coming to the platform to be disseminated, and it would involve Hunter Biden.

00:01:56.000 This means the government did go to the highest level of Twitter, tell them to take it down, the Twitter files then expose that they had no real justification for blocking the story, but decided to do it anyway.

00:02:09.000 And now we see the big cover-up.

00:02:11.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:02:12.000 We'll get into greater detail.

00:02:12.000 I want to rehash the whole story.

00:02:13.000 But the other news is...

00:02:15.000 Well, this is rather interesting, and there's a lot of interesting questions about it, but I think I should talk about it.

00:02:20.000 Around 7 a.m.

00:02:21.000 this morning, two men broke into my house and don't know exactly why or what was happening.

00:02:27.000 There's a lot of speculation.

00:02:28.000 I don't want to reveal too many details, but a shot was fired by one of... I'll keep it very vague for law enforcement reasons.

00:02:34.000 Not by them.

00:02:35.000 They, the burglars, we don't know what they were looking for or what was happening.

00:02:39.000 Entirely possible.

00:02:40.000 It was random.

00:02:41.000 I kind of don't think so, considering you can't mistake this property when you get on it and everything that's happening there.

00:02:45.000 And after nearly being struck, they dove out the window, panicked, fled, and left behind a wallet with an ID in it.

00:02:55.000 So the whole thing is very, very weird.

00:02:58.000 Considering what's going on in politics, I figured, you know, maybe we should talk about this and the threats that we've received.

00:03:03.000 The next story we have is that there was a substation shot up in North Carolina, knocking out power, and the left is claiming it was far-right wingers trying to shut down a drag performance show.

00:03:11.000 So we got to talk about this stuff.

00:03:12.000 It's a crazy...

00:03:15.000 Monday, I suppose.

00:03:45.000 Thank you so much.

00:03:46.000 It's an honor to be here.

00:03:47.000 Absolutely.

00:03:48.000 Who are you?

00:03:48.000 What do you do?

00:03:48.000 All right.

00:03:49.000 Andrew Gruhl.

00:03:50.000 I am a chef and restaurateur.

00:03:52.000 Some people might know me from being on Food Network shows or having a series on FYI Network, some other TV stuff, or from one of my restaurants.

00:04:00.000 I started with a food truck in 2011.

00:04:02.000 Grew to 40-plus restaurants.

00:04:03.000 Recently sold Slapfish, which was kind of my namesake restaurant.

00:04:06.000 Still have six concepts.

00:04:07.000 I'm from Southern California, Huntington Beach specifically.

00:04:10.000 I'm a father of four and a husband, and that is my life in a nutshell.

00:04:15.000 Right on.

00:04:16.000 It should be really interesting to talk about.

00:04:18.000 You called out California over the lockdown stuff, which, well, it was contentious, to say the least.

00:04:24.000 Yeah, it didn't, I mean, you know, it depends on how you look at it, whether it went over well or didn't go over well, but without getting into too much of the granular detail, I'll say this, I did speak out about Newsom's hypocritical lockdowns, and the state immediately turned on me, but, you know, the good news here is that as I continued to speak out, and doing so rationally, right, it wasn't anything crazy extreme, Our sales doubled, tripled, the support came flying in there.

00:04:47.000 As that support came in, we decided to start a fund I called 86 Restaurant Struggle.

00:04:51.000 We actually ended up raising over a half a million dollars for struggling and out of work restaurant workers.

00:04:56.000 Not small business owners, but restaurant workers at the time.

00:05:00.000 No less than four months after I raised that half a million dollars, I did do a piece on Tucker Carlson and then Antifa quickly turned on me for being an anti-worker mouthpiece, which I think is funny when you contrast that against raising all the money.

00:05:14.000 You know, so I've been up and down that California roller coaster and everything post-pandemic, so, uh, lots to talk about.

00:05:19.000 Right on, right on.

00:05:20.000 Luke's here.

00:05:21.000 Definitely expect some questions about bugs and seed oils in the future, uh, on the show.

00:05:26.000 My name is Luke Grodowski here of WeAreChange.org, and I live by two principles.

00:05:29.000 Don't take people's stuff and don't hurt them, a principle that, of course, the government does the exact opposite of, and I think we should definitely be sharing more of these principles and spreading them.

00:05:38.000 And if you agree with that, you could get that message, which is on my shirt, on thebestpoliticalshirts.com.

00:05:45.000 Because you guys do that, that's why I'm here.

00:05:46.000 Thank you again so much for having me.

00:05:48.000 I'm the wizard, the sorcerer.

00:05:50.000 I'm not sure which one I'm better at, wizardry or sorcery, but one's with your intelligence, the wizardry, the other's with your charisma, the sorcery, I don't know.

00:05:56.000 You let me know.

00:05:57.000 I'm looking forward to talking to you about, what's that?

00:05:59.000 I said, is that what that is?

00:06:00.000 Yeah, sorcerers use their charisma to cast magic.

00:06:02.000 They have less choices of magics they can use, but they're very refined at what they do, whereas wizards use their knowledge and understanding of nature to manipulate and use it.

00:06:10.000 So like, they'll use, like a, like, yeah, we'll get into it later on the show.

00:06:14.000 What's up, dude?

00:06:15.000 I'm glad.

00:06:15.000 I want to hear all about your perspective on how you dealt with the pandemic as a restauranteur, obviously, but hopefully we can go deep into just the magic of restauranteuring in general, food, you know, what it's like to own restaurants.

00:06:25.000 Maybe later in the episode, I'll start asking you questions.

00:06:28.000 Peace out.

00:06:28.000 Awesome.

00:06:29.000 And I am Serge.com at Serge.com.

00:06:31.000 Thanks, guys, for getting my Instagram over 2K.

00:06:33.000 That was a cool feeling.

00:06:34.000 Gave me a little dopamine bump.

00:06:36.000 Appreciate it.

00:06:36.000 There you go.

00:06:37.000 All right, everybody, let's talk about this first story.

00:06:39.000 Elon Musk claims risk of his assassination is quite significant, and a little bit more than that.

00:06:45.000 He said, quote, if I committed suicide, it's not real.

00:06:48.000 As soon as I heard him say that, I had to tweet it out.

00:06:51.000 When he was releasing the Twitter files, he said it was going to be at 5 p.m.

00:06:54.000 Then all of a sudden, he's like, okay, it's going to be in an hour.

00:06:57.000 Then he goes dark, and everyone's like, what's happening?

00:06:59.000 The joke across Twitter was, last minute phone call from Hillary Clinton.

00:07:04.000 Haha.

00:07:05.000 So he says, frankly the risk of something bad happening to me or even literally being shot is quite significant.

00:07:10.000 It's not that hard to kill somebody if you wanted to, so hopefully they don't, and fate smiles upon the situation with me and it does not happen, there's definitely some risk there.

00:07:19.000 I gotta say, the first thing is, does that seem like the typical reaction from someone who genuinely feels like they'll lose their life?

00:07:26.000 And I'm not saying he's wrong, or that's not true, I'm saying, I guess you'd expect him to react differently, right?

00:07:31.000 Abe Lincoln had a similar thing where he was just like, they wanted him to have all his securities, like, you know what, if they kill me, they kill me.

00:07:37.000 And he had a dream a few nights before he was killed of him walking through the White House, people were crying, and in his dream he was like, what happened?

00:07:43.000 And they were like, the president's been killed, and then he woke up, Lincoln, and he was like, what, that was weird.

00:07:47.000 A couple days later, he was shot and killed.

00:07:49.000 So once, I think, if you're at peace with yourself, you just have to be your best self and dam be the consequences.

00:07:54.000 But, you know, I mean, what, like he said, if everyone in the world wants to kill you, how long can you survive?

00:08:00.000 I mean, seven minutes?

00:08:01.000 I don't think it's everyone.

00:08:02.000 I think it's a certain select few of individuals.

00:08:05.000 Some of them, you know, rhyming with Hillary. 1.00

00:08:08.000 Sorry.

00:08:09.000 You just literally said Hillary.

00:08:10.000 Pardon my French, but I think there's Hillary. 1.00

00:08:13.000 Yeah, chillery!

00:08:13.000 Chillery!

00:08:14.000 You know, but I think there's a reason Epstein was trending Friday night when we had the delay of the Twitter files.

00:08:20.000 I think we're living in a society where intelligence agencies do have things like heart attack guns.

00:08:25.000 And if you look at these latest Twitter files, who did they go after?

00:08:29.000 The intelligence agencies that we know were conjuring up lies in order to try to push a narrative and a story and to suppress a story that would make a political party look Uh, good, when of course the reality of it was that they were bad, that there was a lot of horrible things.

00:08:44.000 You want to say something?

00:08:45.000 I just want to pull, I want to confirm the source of, uh, this is from allthatsinteresting.com, the heart attack gunfight a dart made from frozen shellfish toxin that would enter the target's bloodstream and kill him in mere minutes without leaving a trace.

00:08:56.000 This is like in the 60s or 70s, I believe.

00:08:58.000 That was, yeah, through the, I think, the commission hearings, the Warren Commission hearings, I believe, if I stand corrected, that there was a lot of disclosure with what the intelligence agencies were doing behind the scenes.

00:09:10.000 And this is decades and decades ago.

00:09:12.000 You can only imagine what they have now.

00:09:13.000 So with Elon Musk saying that he's taking his security, you know, more significantly, taking his security more seriously than before, I mean, obviously, he's pissing off a lot of powerful people that do Epstein, people, let's just be real here.

00:09:27.000 Let's just be honest here with ourselves.

00:09:29.000 You know, one thing that I haven't thought about with stuff like this and Trump, I heard that one thing I've heard we've talked about the reason Trump likes fast food so much is that when you walk into a McDonald's, the burgers already made.

00:09:41.000 So when you order it, they can't tamper with it.

00:09:43.000 And there's like a fear.

00:09:44.000 I don't know if that's true, but that's gross excuse to eat McDonald's.

00:09:50.000 I mean, I worry about this stuff, like, you never know.

00:09:54.000 We live in MAGA country, so for the most part, people come out, fist bump me, and they're really excited, you know?

00:09:59.000 But if I go into, like, a deep blue area where people are, you know, crazy leftists or whatever, do I gotta worry about my food getting messed with or something?

00:10:06.000 Food is the avenue through which they typically do something like this, which is why we run a tight ship in my kitchens.

00:10:11.000 But, you know, it's funny when I hear that about the shellfish.

00:10:14.000 This is how sick my mind is.

00:10:15.000 I immediately go to like braised shellfish with garlic and white wine and herbs and all of that.

00:10:21.000 You know, with the Elon piece of this, I think two things.

00:10:24.000 Number one, kind of Heisenberg's principle, which I think I'm using this properly, right?

00:10:27.000 The act of observation ultimately affects that of which is being observed.

00:10:30.000 So if he goes out there and throws this out into the public, you know, that act, right,

00:10:34.000 and under the observation he could change the trajectory.

00:10:37.000 So get it out there, talk about it, let it be public, and then ultimately that could

00:10:41.000 hypothetically change whether, you know, however you want to look at this, change what's

00:10:45.000 going to happen.

00:10:46.000 Number two, he's a businessman at heart, right?

00:10:48.000 And the more he talks, the more he puts out these kind of hyperbolic statements, the more

00:10:51.000 people are going to go on Twitter, the more people are going to tweet about it.

00:10:54.000 I mean, he's driving business by virtue of his own narrative, and it's kind of brilliant

00:11:00.000 because we see the numbers, we see the activity is up, and that ticks everybody off because

00:11:06.000 they talk about how, oh, well, Twitter's going to shut down this weekend.

00:11:09.000 And now the headlines came out after he published and produced how successful Twitter was over

00:11:14.000 the past three to four weeks.

00:11:15.000 Well, that's just a smoke screen.

00:11:17.000 Those are going to go down.

00:11:18.000 And just a correction, it was the church hearings that released the information of the heart

00:11:22.000 attack gun and a lot of other horrible things that the intelligence agencies were doing

00:11:26.000 in secret.

00:11:27.000 But we also have to understand that this was Elon responding directly to questions being asked to him, specifically if he's going to be suicidal.

00:11:36.000 at any point in time in his life.

00:11:38.000 And this spurred on this reaction, which of course everyone's talking about, as we're still waiting for the Twitter files 2.0 to be released that we're hearing are in the hands of Barry Weiss.

00:11:49.000 So there's still a lot more.

00:11:51.000 There's some people saying that this was a nothing burger.

00:11:53.000 There's a lot of people saying that this is a huge reveal that I think is going to have significant changes in our society.

00:12:00.000 But it all depends, I guess, where you stand politically.

00:12:02.000 It's a smoking gun.

00:12:04.000 So one of the things they're mentioning is that the request from the DNC, the specific links, were nudes of Hunter Biden.

00:12:12.000 Now, fair point.

00:12:13.000 I can understand why somebody would be like, yeah, I don't want those up.

00:12:16.000 But why is the DNC making those requests and not, you know, say, Hunter Biden, for personal reasons?

00:12:20.000 So the first thing to consider, the Democratic National Committee was trying to get these private images from a private citizen who was not running for office removed.

00:12:28.000 So when the left comes out and says, Hunter Biden's not the president, not running, he's not relevant.

00:12:32.000 OK, well, then why is the DNC trying to?

00:12:35.000 Well, because obviously it's relevant.

00:12:36.000 The second thing is the images corroborate the laptop is real.

00:12:41.000 If someone came out and said, look at this email, it's fake.

00:12:43.000 How do I know that email's real?

00:12:44.000 Because here's a picture of Hunter Biden in a private, you know, revealing circumstance that he took himself.

00:12:49.000 That was along with it.

00:12:51.000 Not a guarantee the email's real, but it does lend some evidence to the fact.

00:12:51.000 Okay.

00:12:54.000 So when they start, when the Democrats literally are taking down images of a third party who's not running for office, That's bad.

00:13:02.000 But more importantly, when it came to the laptop in general, the files reveal that they had no policy justification for removing it, argued about how they had no policy justification for removing the laptop story, did it anyway, and then a big mistake Mettaibi made, with all due respect, because I think Matt does a great job and I think he's fantastic, Jack Posobiec posted the FEC, the federal election documents, from Yoel Roth of Twitter, saying the FBI contacted us, said there would be hacked materials related to Hunter Biden.

00:13:32.000 Then they just arbitrarily removed that story?

00:13:35.000 BS.

00:13:36.000 The FBI, like Mark Zuckerberg said, reached out to them and said, the story's coming, get rid of it.

00:13:40.000 What did, uh, Taibbi, what mistake did Taibbi make?

00:13:42.000 Did he not include that?

00:13:43.000 Taibbi, he didn't.

00:13:44.000 And he said that, I've seen no evidence of government involvement in the censorship of this.

00:13:48.000 And then later, Jack Posobiec posted an FEC document from FEC.gov, where Yoel Roth was like, yes they contacted me, yes they said the information on Hunter Biden was coming.

00:13:59.000 And to be careful about it, Mark Zuckerberg said the exact same thing.

00:14:03.000 Yeah, and the New York Post released a story today talking about the FBI's hack-and-leak operation, which they had weekly meetings with big tech social media companies and they came to them and they said, hey, Hunter Biden is a target of a hack-and-leak operation that's going after him before the story even was public.

00:14:20.000 So they knew, they probably knew that the New York Post was working on this story, they knew it was going to go public, so they preemptively Spread disinformation, spread lies, in order to confuse and stop a narrative that would make the oncoming political party look bad.

00:14:36.000 That right there is very, very sinister, nasty actions that are absolutely playing totally unfair when it comes to this political landscape.

00:14:44.000 And I have to stress, it's not just the FBI.

00:14:47.000 According to this document from FEC.gov, he wrote, since 2018, I've had regular meetings with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and industry peers regarding election security.

00:15:00.000 He goes on to mention that these expectations of hack-and-leak operations were discussed throughout 2022.

00:15:06.000 I also learned these meetings that there were rumors that a hack-and-leak operation would involve Hunter Biden.

00:15:11.000 So to clarify, DHS, FBI, industry peers, the DNI were in contact with Twitter consistently for years and in 2020 said negative information about Hunter Biden is coming.

00:15:22.000 Who's this FEC?

00:15:23.000 Who's the I?

00:15:24.000 I noticed.

00:15:25.000 Yoel Roth.

00:15:26.000 As you can see right here, signed, Yoel Roth, Head of Site Integrity, Twitter, Inc., December 17th, 2020.

00:15:26.000 Okay.

00:15:32.000 I think that the writing's on the wall with government collusion with big tech.

00:15:36.000 I mean, I think it's obvious and it's becoming more apparent and more legally justified if we're going to make these claims with evidence like this.

00:15:42.000 But when I'm reading the patterns of humanity, what it looks like right now is this is a chance to step up, each of us, because it's like whack-a-mole.

00:15:49.000 You know the whack-a-mole game? 0.70

00:15:50.000 Someone steps up and tries to change society, they get whacked.

00:15:53.000 And that's been happening since Kennedy, since, I don't know, I'm claiming that, I don't have, I mean, I've got a lot of evidence that Kennedy was Well, obviously Kennedy was killed, but I'm not saying who did it.

00:16:01.000 I don't know who did it.

00:16:02.000 I know, apparently.

00:16:04.000 Anyway!

00:16:06.000 There's a lot of theories around that one.

00:16:07.000 So, the chance, this is where we all have to step up and take some of the focus onto ourselves.

00:16:12.000 Because if we let Elon, we think he's some superhero, he's just a vulnerable guy.

00:16:15.000 So, I want to be on, you know, team humanity here.

00:16:18.000 Yeah, look, I think that where this is going to start to focus is on the private versus public element here, private versus government element, because what you hear is the argument is, no, well, this is a private enterprise.

00:16:30.000 They were, you know, it was a private citizen.

00:16:33.000 At the time, Joe Biden, he was just a candidate.

00:16:35.000 He wasn't involved with government.

00:16:37.000 And look, this is, you know, a private company.

00:16:39.000 And that's the argument that's being made.

00:16:41.000 But what's really interesting is it was the DNC, which once again you can claim that it's private, but then you have public government officials as part of the DNC, right?

00:16:50.000 So you have what could hypothetically be considered in more of the business or the corporate world, piercing the corporate veil, right?

00:16:57.000 And by that I mean is that, yes, so you have all of this through this shell company, the DNC, that's private, but then you have public Influencers or stakeholders that are on that private committee or that private, you know group that are then influencing this through So then did you pierce that veil in the in the food world right as a franchisor?

00:17:15.000 I am responsible by way of new laws for the labor practices of a franchisee That was a recent ruling right and that gets into that kind of that corporate Public-private piece of this and so if in the private business world I'm responsible as a franchise or for what my franchisee does even though I have nothing to do with it By way of just that connection, well then government should be held to the exact same standard.

00:17:38.000 There's a very interesting article by Jonathan Turley that was released also that was titled, Six Degrees from James Baker, a familiar figure re-emerges with the release of the Twitter files that details how, you know, a lot of this was centered around, from the very beginning, this whole Russian collusion narrative, this whole A larger agenda here from central figures within the federal government that were engineering a lot of this.

00:18:03.000 And when we kind of look at this, we kind of got to ask ourselves, obviously, there was some incentive by big tech social media companies to try to make the Democrats win since the Democrats are more favorable towards big tech monopolies rather than, of course, Republicans that were kind of threatening to put them in check.

00:18:19.000 Threatening in not even a real way, but kind of soft-handed way, kind of hinting that they might be interested in doing something like the Republicans always do, and then they kind of back off and scare, just like teenagers trying to go up to a girl.

00:18:32.000 That's essentially what a lot of the Republicans did here, and I think this is, you know, one reason why to speculate what's really going on here.

00:18:39.000 Is it the private industry, or is it the public industry?

00:18:42.000 Who's really responsible here?

00:18:43.000 To me, it doesn't matter.

00:18:45.000 They're all in bed together.

00:18:46.000 A lot of these individuals are working together.

00:18:48.000 A lot of these individuals know that they need to depend on each other.

00:18:51.000 They have blackmail on each other.

00:18:53.000 And to me, this is a no-brainer that they're codifying the elections for their own personal benefit.

00:18:59.000 But to go along with the private argument, right?

00:19:01.000 Let's galvanize that argument and say, okay, it's all private then, and anybody can do what they want, and that's the argument.

00:19:05.000 It's done.

00:19:06.000 Well then, why are people going after Elon so much?

00:19:09.000 It's a private company.

00:19:10.000 He can do whatever he wants.

00:19:11.000 So you can't kind of scream the skies falling on one side, but then use the same argument against or for whichever side you're on.

00:19:19.000 And I think that that's something that's just being ignored in all of this when the two sides are battling it out.

00:19:24.000 It was interesting to see the White House response to all of this.

00:19:27.000 They finally decided to release an official statement saying that the Twitter files were, quote, a distraction and old news that are diverting attention from Twitter's, quote, hate and disinformation.

00:19:38.000 So very weaponized, very kind of Orwellian terms used by the White House in response to all of this.

00:19:43.000 And Elon Musk looks like he's not backing down.

00:19:45.000 There's going to be more releases in the future.

00:19:47.000 There's also a lot of rumors that he's going to be starting a medical experts panel that's going to be questioning the government's logic when it comes to health advice.

00:19:55.000 And he also came out recently and talked about how he thinks that the FTX scandal is a lot bigger than what people make it out to be.

00:20:01.000 And he's claiming that it could be nearly $1 billion that was given to Democrats via dark channels with untraceable money.

00:20:09.000 So there's a lot of things happening behind the scenes that we don't know about, but it definitely is a very fascinating battle with Elon Musk saying he's afraid for his life, essentially trying to say that he's not going to be Epstein'd. 0.70

00:20:21.000 He was saying that the risk for assassination is real.

00:20:25.000 I want to talk about this next story to the best of my abilities and explain why.

00:20:29.000 I have a tweet.

00:20:31.000 And y'all have been lighting up the chat about it.

00:20:34.000 I said, there's a 9mm bullet lodged in my kitchen now.

00:20:36.000 I can't say I'm surprised this happened after the wave of doxing and threats made against us.

00:20:41.000 I can't reveal too much of the details about what happened, but this morning I got word that my house had been... I don't know what the right word is.

00:20:49.000 Burglarized is the legal term, but people typically think burglary implies theft of goods.

00:20:54.000 There was no theft.

00:20:55.000 There was reportedly two men who broke in, climbed through a window, One of our staff members on site yelled out, let me just say very carefully, a shot was fired.

00:21:09.000 The individuals were nearly struck.

00:21:10.000 They fled.

00:21:12.000 They left behind a wallet and an ID, which is very, very strange.

00:21:16.000 Nothing appears to have been missing, and we don't know what this was about.

00:21:21.000 Entirely possible that this was a random occurrence.

00:21:21.000 Okay.

00:21:25.000 Considering we've been swatted so many times, considering we have active threats, and the far left has been posting, uh, let's just say posting an address that they believe is my house, it's not, uh, on the internet excessively, The first thing we thought was seems like it may be random or localized.

00:21:44.000 And then after going over the scenario, talking with some individual security, for instance, we were like, okay, actually, it seems like this might actually be political, because the things we would expect from a burglary, a typical burglary in the area didn't happen.

00:21:59.000 The property in question is large, with multiple buildings on it, and without giving too many details away, we ultimately concluded that your typical robbery wouldn't occur in a situation like this.

00:22:10.000 I don't know exactly what happened, you know, we just know that it did.

00:22:14.000 That's what's been reported by, well, we have the police report that was filed, the police took evidence, and the reason why I want to bring this up is that I've been talking about, I talked about this last week, We've been swatted several times, and we've not reported it.

00:22:30.000 Everybody knows that we've been swatted over a dozen times at the bomb squad here and everything like that.

00:22:34.000 And we keep being told by people, don't say anything.

00:22:38.000 Don't let anybody know what's happening.

00:22:39.000 And the first time I heard that, I'm like, that's kind of odd.

00:22:42.000 Like, shouldn't we let people know that there are people trying to murder us?

00:22:45.000 Because then, like, I don't know, it just feels like if something happens, no one will be prepared for it.

00:22:50.000 We should be like, hey guys, these threats are real.

00:22:52.000 They're happening.

00:22:53.000 And what we kept being told was, if you say it, it will keep happening.

00:22:56.000 And I'm like, okay.

00:22:57.000 You know what?

00:22:58.000 I agree.

00:22:58.000 It's a tired narrative.

00:23:00.000 So we actually stopped mentioning that the swattings were happening.

00:23:02.000 Guess what?

00:23:02.000 They still keep happening.

00:23:03.000 Guess what?

00:23:04.000 After all the death threats and threats against us, I don't blame Elon Musk.

00:23:09.000 You know, I was thinking about reaching out to him being like, dude, There are people posting addresses for me, Matt Walsh, and a variety of people, and they are spamming them en masse like crazy.

00:23:19.000 There's got to be some way of getting rid of this.

00:23:21.000 But I'm like, what do you really do?

00:23:23.000 How do you really deal with this?

00:23:24.000 So now my attitude is basically this.

00:23:27.000 The left came out, and we'll talk about the story in a second, and said that a Transformer substation was shot up by far-right wingers trying to shut down a drag performance.

00:23:35.000 Every single time something happens, Jussie Smollett 2.0, they claim the far-right the far-right.

00:23:41.000 Last week, one of our guests said, if you go to the average person and ask them who's more likely to commit political violence, a left-winger or a right-winger, they will tell you outright a right-winger, despite the fact that it's substantially more likely to come from the left, just in every capacity.

00:23:55.000 I know the ADL has their weird rankings, but they claim that black nationalists are left-wing and white nationalists are right-wing, and none of that makes sense.

00:24:02.000 And I think that there's a reason for it.

00:24:04.000 How often does Ben Shapiro talk about the threats that he gets?

00:24:07.000 Rarely, if ever.

00:24:08.000 How often does your typical antifa talk about the threats they get?

00:24:11.000 They won't shut up about anything.

00:24:13.000 They get a DM where someone says you're fugly and they'll post it and say, I'm under attack, they're trying to kill me.

00:24:18.000 So what happens?

00:24:19.000 The narrative you start seeing in mainstream conversation is the left is constantly being threatened and the right is fine.

00:24:26.000 When in reality, this stuff is happening to us, so I don't know if this incident in question was political, but I find it hard to believe it's a coincidence it's happened around the time that people have been spamming, you know, people have been posting on Twitter that we shouldn't be allowed to live comfortably.

00:24:43.000 But I don't know what you guys think.

00:24:44.000 What are your thoughts?

00:24:45.000 The story is a little perplexing because it sounds like...

00:24:49.000 I'm not gonna...

00:24:49.000 We gotta be careful.

00:24:50.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not gonna, you know, I know the drill.

00:24:54.000 I've been through this before.

00:24:55.000 This has been our entire career.

00:24:58.000 This is nothing new.

00:24:59.000 I mean, except the levels of intensity just keeps getting higher and higher.

00:25:05.000 But I was going to say, this is either a case of the wet bandit from Home Alone or just someone messing with us, just deliberately trying to intimidate and scare us.

00:25:18.000 I think, you know, again, who knows what's really going on here.

00:25:22.000 I think a lot of the things are done to confuse people. 1.00

00:25:25.000 It could be a bunch of idiots. 0.99

00:25:27.000 You know, poverty is increasing, a lot of people are poor, a lot of people are desperate, but the official story of what happened doesn't really add up to that, doesn't really make sense, and the idiocy of it doesn't really make sense at all, especially with the identification card. 1.00

00:25:40.000 Yeah, that right away. 1.00

00:25:41.000 That right away, there's like, okay, either they're the lowest IQ idiots of all time, the dumbest criminals of all time, Or someone's deliberately trying to, you know, send a message. 1.00

00:25:52.000 Well, remember when the planes hit the World Trade Center, a passport fell out of the burning explosion and fell down to the ground. 1.00

00:25:59.000 That's how they found the terrorist that did it.

00:26:01.000 That's a good point.

00:26:02.000 It may just be that this guy who broke in had a wallet with nothing but a single ID in it.

00:26:08.000 And my understanding is the ID wasn't even in it.

00:26:10.000 When they fled.

00:26:11.000 So that means he climbed in and just said, oh, I better check my wallet for my ID, and took it out, placed it down, looked at it, and then had to flee the building.

00:26:16.000 How convenient that now we have an identification and someone to go after.

00:26:21.000 How convenient.

00:26:22.000 Very weird.

00:26:22.000 I don't like this.

00:26:23.000 I don't like talking about it publicly, but what I will talk about is the victim mentality, because I know what you mean about people claiming, oh, they hurt me, they're violent towards me.

00:26:29.000 But you never hear Ben.

00:26:30.000 You don't hear Ben Shapiro say when he gets doxxed.

00:26:32.000 You don't hear Disney say when they get doxxed, because entertainment companies get doxxed.

00:26:35.000 That's what happens.

00:26:36.000 That's why they have big walls around their studio.

00:26:39.000 But at some point, I don't like playing the victim card.

00:26:44.000 I don't like being like, I got hit today, everybody.

00:26:46.000 Look how sad I am.

00:26:47.000 Oh, I got hurt today, everyone.

00:26:48.000 Look at me.

00:26:49.000 Look at me.

00:26:49.000 But at some point, I mean, it's worth being honest about what's happening, not complaining about it.

00:26:55.000 It's just the nature of the entertainment industry.

00:26:58.000 There's one reason I tweeted about it when I heard, right?

00:27:00.000 So I wake up in the morning and phones are going nuts because it happened at 7 a.m.

00:27:05.000 Like I wake up and like I'm in bed getting up getting ready and it's literally happening.

00:27:11.000 I wasn't at this property in question.

00:27:13.000 And I said, look, I've told people, please, for the love of all that is holy, if you hate my guts, if you don't want me to be alive, whatever, do not come to my properties.

00:27:23.000 You're allowed to hate me.

00:27:24.000 You can hate me all you want.

00:27:26.000 But if you come to these properties, there is a strong possibility you will lose your life.

00:27:30.000 No one is going to sit back and be like, well, despite all the death threats, I'm going to give this person the benefit of the doubt as they shatter the window and climb through.

00:27:36.000 I don't know what they're doing, but, you know, let's just ask them politely.

00:27:39.000 That's not what any of our security guys are going to do.

00:27:41.000 No, the security guys, you're lucky if you're uninjured when you leave.

00:27:45.000 Those guys, they're probably hurt.

00:27:48.000 So that's the main reason I was like, you know, I talked about it and said, I think I should put that out just so that, like, I can make sure this is loud and very clear.

00:27:57.000 You know, I do not want anyone getting hurt.

00:27:59.000 And if you come here... So, we have people trying to troll, we have stupid games, and there's a reason why... You know, who knows? 0.99

00:28:07.000 Some morons, you know, coming up, I have no idea. 0.99

00:28:11.000 But, uh, I just, you know, I have to wonder about... With all of this going on, the other significant portion of the story is that... It's been a year since we, uh, the SWATtings began. 0.99

00:28:24.000 And we've been swatted on average more than once per month, sometimes twice.

00:28:29.000 Where's law enforcement?

00:28:30.000 I've tried reaching out to some.

00:28:33.000 The amount of crimes that have been committed against us in terms of violent and as well as what I'd consider like white collar crimes, if we could talk about it, people would crap their pants.

00:28:43.000 But we can't because active investigation stuff, law enforcement, but for some reason nothing's being done about it.

00:28:49.000 I think I realized something.

00:28:50.000 A scary thing.

00:28:51.000 Marjorie Taylor Greene was swatted, what, six times?

00:28:54.000 Six?

00:28:55.000 She's a sitting member of Congress.

00:28:57.000 You mean they can do nothing to protect a sitting member of Congress?

00:29:01.000 Okay, well that says everything right there.

00:29:03.000 The courts and law enforcement are incapable of actually maintaining social cohesion at this point.

00:29:09.000 We hear all of these stories about the summer of love, the deaths from Antifa, 30 plus people dead from Antifa, and there's zero accountability towards any of it.

00:29:19.000 Sounds to me like maybe it's not civil war in the sense that people expect, as we often say, like two sides fighting.

00:29:26.000 It's just a collapse of social cohesion.

00:29:29.000 The FBI, the DOJ are working with big tech to benefit the Democrats.

00:29:33.000 They're not going after the people protesting in front of the justices' homes.

00:29:36.000 They are going after pro-life activists.

00:29:38.000 Social cohesion is shattered completely.

00:29:41.000 The courts aren't able to do anything.

00:29:43.000 The crimes are getting worse.

00:29:44.000 I wonder if they ever were able to do anything, and if it was always just, like, the visage of strength and force.

00:29:50.000 Like, the fear of threat of the cops.

00:29:53.000 They're so—there's, what, like, 30 cops and, like, 700,000 people?

00:29:57.000 They'll have, like, weird, you know, ratios like that.

00:29:59.000 Like, one cop to 700 humans.

00:30:00.000 You know, one cop can't stop nine guys.

00:30:04.000 Like, not realistically.

00:30:05.000 Maybe that's it.

00:30:07.000 Maybe they've never been able to do it, you know?

00:30:09.000 But I don't know.

00:30:11.000 Yeah, look, it's pretty scary, and I think that you actually bringing it up is smart in the sense of people understanding that there is a threat on the other side of this kind of, like, fictitious wall that everybody wants to cross to try and scare, whether it's you or somebody else.

00:30:25.000 And I think you can see it in California, right?

00:30:27.000 So I'm in Huntington Beach, which is Orange County.

00:30:29.000 Up in Los Angeles, there was this huge kind of rash of all these grabbing, you know, smashing grabs into the jewelry stores where they just, they come in, they grab everything, and there were certain situations where people would fight back.

00:30:41.000 Well, then they start to move into Orange County.

00:30:42.000 Now, Orange County is notorious for being very different politically than Los Angeles, a little bit looser on the concealed carry laws.

00:30:49.000 What happens when they come and they hit Huntington Beach?

00:30:50.000 They go into a jeweler, which is right down the street from us.

00:30:54.000 The guy has a concealed carry, pulls his gun out, shoots three of them.

00:30:58.000 There was four different cars because they do these in these big groups.

00:31:01.000 Well, you know what I never heard of again after that?

00:31:03.000 A smash and grab in Orange County.

00:31:04.000 Yeah, very true.

00:31:05.000 But you hear about them in Beverly Hills, you hear about them in Bel Air, everything like that.

00:31:08.000 Oh yeah, they're still happening all the time.

00:31:10.000 I mean, they're happening up in L.A.

00:31:11.000 like, I mean, it's just kind of an everyday thing now.

00:31:15.000 You know, people, now actually they have tourists that go to L.A.

00:31:17.000 and they're just sitting waiting to see if they can videotape a smash and grab instead of going to, no, I'm just kidding.

00:31:23.000 Yeah, you'll get lucky one day, there's enough.

00:31:25.000 Jordan Peterson talks about this a lot more eloquently than I could ever can, saying if you are prepared for violence, the likelihood of violence coming your way is reduced.

00:31:35.000 Essentially saying if you learn self-defense, you will learn how you absolutely don't need it in many instances.

00:31:41.000 You know, a lot of the stuff out in the streets is a lot of the times when it comes to confrontation and fights, a lot of it is ego, a lot of it is just people not knowing when to walk away, but when someone comes into your house, I mean, that's another level.

00:31:52.000 That's another thing to really kind of take seriously.

00:31:56.000 You know, people should always have the right to defend themselves, but also know exactly what they're doing.

00:32:01.000 They should receive training, and they should take the situation very seriously.

00:32:05.000 Because, you know, as time goes on, I think it's only fair to say that, especially in major city areas, people are going to become more poor.

00:32:12.000 A lot of them are going to become more desperate.

00:32:14.000 And a lot of the major cities are going to become a lot more lawless, and the only person you could really depend on yourself for defending yourself is you.

00:32:22.000 Yeah.

00:32:22.000 No one else.

00:32:23.000 The people that want to hurt, kill violently don't care about the Constitution.

00:32:30.000 They're going to get a weapon and do it.

00:32:31.000 You can't stop that.

00:32:32.000 The Constitution protects people from legally defending themselves.

00:32:35.000 The Second Amendment particularly.

00:32:36.000 Like, the threat of retaliation is what has protected the United States for a hundred thousand years.

00:32:42.000 But, like, the reason why people aren't dropping drones... I mean, there has been attacks on, you could argue, on the United States.

00:32:48.000 9-11 being an instance.

00:32:50.000 Of someone attacking the United States.

00:32:53.000 But it's the fact that we're all armed and ready to just snap back with nuclear weapons, with you name it, orbital strikes.

00:32:59.000 People do not mess with that because they don't want to get obliterated.

00:33:02.000 And it's the same with menial criminals on the street.

00:33:04.000 If they know you're packing, they're not going to touch you.

00:33:06.000 They're going to look for someone that's been legally muted and not able to have a weapon or something like that, or someone that's elderly or vulnerable.

00:33:11.000 You know, it's disgusting, but that's reality.

00:33:13.000 This is what I can't understand about California, right?

00:33:16.000 I mean, if you're if you're one of these ultra wealthy celebrities with stalkers living in the hills, What, have they just got to hire like 50 armed guards around their house all the time?

00:33:23.000 Like, I don't know.

00:33:24.000 Why wouldn't you want to be armed?

00:33:25.000 I never understood that personally.

00:33:28.000 Maybe the rich people are allowed to be armed, is that it?

00:33:30.000 A lot of them are.

00:33:31.000 A lot of them just have massive walls, which, you know.

00:33:34.000 Big, beautiful 30-foot walls.

00:33:35.000 Yeah.

00:33:36.000 Big, big, big, beautiful, beautiful walls.

00:33:38.000 As they call for open borders.

00:33:41.000 I do like big walls.

00:33:43.000 I've come to really appreciate a large walled compound, or walls and fences and gates around your house.

00:33:47.000 I like it.

00:33:48.000 You'd love South Africa, man.

00:33:49.000 Everybody's walled in?

00:33:50.000 Oh, it's walls, it's fences, it's everything.

00:33:52.000 Is that because it's like post-colonialism or something?

00:33:55.000 Crime is pretty serious there, right?

00:33:56.000 Yes, crime in South Africa is rather serious business.

00:34:00.000 And can you have guns?

00:34:01.000 Yes, and you can get guns relatively easily, but yes.

00:34:06.000 Legally protected, people can be armed in South Africa?

00:34:09.000 Um, I don't know for sure.

00:34:11.000 Probably not, but everyone has private security anyway, so.

00:34:14.000 Yeah, isn't it like there's like private police, basically, because they're so big?

00:34:17.000 Yes.

00:34:17.000 Companies are so big?

00:34:18.000 Yeah.

00:34:18.000 What is that like?

00:34:19.000 Basically, everyone has private security, because the police force doesn't really work.

00:34:22.000 Or, in some cases, the police force works, but they won't come out, or they're like, oh, it's too dangerous, or it'll be like, oh, we'll be there, but they'll be there in 40 minutes, and by that time, you know.

00:34:31.000 Things have already elapsed.

00:34:32.000 It's been in your better interest to have weapons and have firearms and be ready to protect yourself at all costs because, you know, the SA police force is not going to be there.

00:34:40.000 They did the same thing in Detroit, I believe.

00:34:42.000 I believe there's a full report of individuals just hiring private security that was armed and them doing a lot better job than police officers that, of course, are giving people tickets and generating revenue for the state or shutting down small businesses for daring to defy lockdowns.

00:34:57.000 How do you guys handle restaurant security?

00:34:59.000 And you don't have to be specific if it's all under the, you know, behind closed doors conversation.

00:35:04.000 But what do you guys do?

00:35:05.000 Yeah, no, that's actually a great question.

00:35:07.000 Because restaurants are targeted pretty heavily, especially given the cash nature of restaurants.

00:35:12.000 And then, of course, you know, the fact that there's so many people that actually go into the restaurants.

00:35:17.000 And the reason why I say that's a risk now is because actually they're targeting places where there are a lot of people with handbags and jewelry, etc.

00:35:23.000 And they're just robbing everybody in the restaurant.

00:35:25.000 So, you know, Cameras look you know chefs with a ton of knives and most of them have psychological disorders That's I wouldn't want to cross that line, but

00:35:35.000 You know what I think is kind of happening is there's a distributed denial of service in terms of crime occurring.

00:35:40.000 Crimes, we see these videos of people shoveling stuff into bags at Walgreens or Target or whatever.

00:35:47.000 Rampant violent crime in New York skyrocketing everywhere.

00:35:50.000 It's so much crime happening at once that not a single one can actually be solved.

00:35:55.000 So, you know, if crime is at a certain level, the police are able to prosecute and arrest and stop some of it.

00:36:01.000 But once it goes slightly above that level, You got 10 phone calls, and they're all saying, I gotta deal with this problem, and the cops are like, yeah, we can't.

00:36:09.000 I mean, first of all, if the cop was going to arrest that guy, that guy, that guy, that guy, that guy, that guy, that guy, that guy, they'd have to go and testify to each of those instances in court several times.

00:36:18.000 Not always, sometimes it's like open and shut case, but it's just impossible.

00:36:23.000 Like you were mentioning, 30,000, 40,000 cops in New York City to 13 million people in the metro, 2.5 million in Manhattan.

00:36:31.000 it's impossible to deal with and then and then if you throw in even the

00:36:34.000 slightest sophistication to the crime itself when i a dealing with a whole nother level we had a we had

00:36:40.000 a a team member who was a scammer we didn't know it total con artist

00:36:43.000 and it was ripping us off for thousands of thousands of dollars

00:36:45.000 i'd believe the story was in a prosecutor first and we got uh... the

00:36:48.000 police involved they were like oh this isn't they've done it before look at their background this nice

00:36:53.000 I said, let's go after them then.

00:36:54.000 We've got to stop this dead in the tracks, etc., etc.

00:36:56.000 And they're like, oh, we're not going to do anything about it.

00:36:58.000 Right.

00:36:58.000 Like, well, you know how much manpower that takes and the case that we have to make and keep, as you said, go back, go back.

00:37:04.000 So even if it's, you know, the slightest bit of sophistication where it requires more than 30 minutes or there's not a literal smoking gun, you're right, bye-bye.

00:37:11.000 And it's not just like minor crimes.

00:37:13.000 It's not just home invasions.

00:37:15.000 It's also murders.

00:37:16.000 It's also people, men, forcing themselves on women.

00:37:19.000 It's also assaults in the adult nature.

00:37:22.000 There's horrible crimes that go unpunished because the cops are like, well, we just can't do anything.

00:37:28.000 Or some cops just don't feel any initiative or have no reason to actually stop or try to prevent or trying to get any justice at all.

00:37:36.000 There's no reason for them to.

00:37:37.000 I was talking to a lawyer about the swattings and about Marjorie Taylor Greene.

00:37:41.000 And I said, what is the process for dealing with federal crimes?

00:37:44.000 He said, of course, you contact the U.S.

00:37:46.000 attorney in the area where, you know, the crime is being committed or whatever.

00:37:50.000 And I said, so we've got 14 or 15 swattings at this point.

00:37:55.000 Bomb squad shut up twice.

00:37:57.000 Studio's been evacuated.

00:37:58.000 How do they have nothing?

00:38:01.000 And not only that, but we actually have a ton of evidence.

00:38:03.000 We have a ton of circumstantial evidence, statements made by potential suspects, and, you know, other stuff I don't want to reveal too much because I don't want anyone to realize exactly what we have.

00:38:14.000 And they're just like, oh yeah, yeah, they look at it and they're like, wow, that is compelling.

00:38:18.000 FBI is underfunded, understaffed, and uninterested.

00:38:21.000 And I'm like, okay, but they can go after, they can go to Roger Stone's house at 3 in the morning or whatever, or they can, yeah, they can do this kind of stuff where they arrest some, they raid the home of some lady in, was it FBI who raided the home of some lady in Alaska because they thought she was at January 6th or something?

00:38:36.000 Yep.

00:38:37.000 Yeah, they can do stuff like that, they can go after 12 agents, they can go after a pole rope at a garage. 0.99

00:38:42.000 Oh yeah, I remember that one.

00:38:44.000 But we can't be like, here's a stack of evidence from a private security company, we think we know who's doing it, and they're like, sorry.

00:38:49.000 In times of like a golden age, where we were in like a time of insane prosperity from 1970 to now, you know, in the United States, where you could call the police and they'd come to your house and be like, what's wrong?

00:39:01.000 Can I help you?

00:39:03.000 If society starts to break down in any fashion, defer to the Constitution.

00:39:07.000 You have the First Amendment and the Second Amendment to back you up.

00:39:09.000 You have the right to defend yourself and your property in this country.

00:39:12.000 I want to jump to this next story, but real quick, I just want to say, as of 8 p.m., news broke that Kirstie Alley has passed away.

00:39:19.000 Aw, man!

00:39:20.000 Yeah.

00:39:21.000 A tweet on Kirstie Alley's page says, sad to inform that our fierce loving mother has passed away after a battle with cancer.

00:39:29.000 So rest in peace.

00:39:30.000 Someone superchatted and I was kind of like, what?

00:39:32.000 You know, because I have to just joke.

00:39:34.000 And then I pulled it up.

00:39:34.000 Yeah.

00:39:35.000 So rest in peace.

00:39:35.000 Sad to hear.

00:39:36.000 Yeah, I was gonna say that I loved Look Who's Talking as a movie, but it's like, you know what, Christy?

00:39:42.000 God bless you, my man.

00:39:43.000 Woman, love you. 1.00

00:39:44.000 Your family, everybody out there in the alleys, whatever your last names are, love you guys.

00:39:47.000 Sorry to hear, but beautiful human.

00:39:49.000 Well, life is short.

00:39:50.000 You gotta cherish every moment you have, and you gotta protect it, too.

00:39:53.000 That's right.

00:39:53.000 Let's jump to this story from TimCast.com.

00:39:56.000 Drag show protester questioned by police after intentional vandalism cuts power to 40,000 North Carolina residents.

00:40:03.000 Police have yet to name a suspect or announce a potential motive.

00:40:06.000 So the first story is, shootings at power substation cause North Carolina outages. 0.98

00:40:11.000 Holy crap. 0.81

00:40:13.000 I mean, that's really what they're saying. 0.96

00:40:14.000 Two power substations in North Carolina were damaged by gunfire and was being investigated as a criminal act, causing damage that could take days to repair and leaving tens of thousands of people without electricity.

00:40:24.000 A protester who was protesting the drag events posted on Facebook, the power is out in Moore County and I know why. 0.73

00:40:32.000 Emily Grace Rainey wrote on Facebook, on our Facebook page, according to the Daily Beast, around the same time she posted a photo of the Sunrise Theater, the venue holding the sold-out drag show.

00:40:41.000 She's in the caption, God will not be mocked.

00:40:43.000 So police apparently met with this woman.

00:40:46.000 She said that she's sorry for wasting their time, and what she meant to say was that God works in mysterious ways. 0.97

00:40:51.000 The implication was more so that the power went out because the Lord was angry, not that they had any information that right-wingers were attacking a power substation, which sounds really stupid as it is. 0.66

00:41:01.000 A bunch of conservatives being like, I know how to turn off the power in a single location. 0.96

00:41:05.000 Shut down the entire grid! 0.95

00:41:07.000 Makes no sense.

00:41:08.000 But what does matter I'm not saying all this, as I mentioned earlier in my other show, to be a black pill.

00:41:12.000 I'm just saying this is happening.

00:41:13.000 it is true, or at the very least they're pushing the idea without merit.

00:41:17.000 The police have even said it's not the case.

00:41:19.000 They're posting on Twitter.

00:41:21.000 The escalation is happening.

00:41:23.000 I'm not saying all this, as I mentioned earlier in my other show, to be a black pill.

00:41:27.000 I'm just saying this is happening.

00:41:30.000 And I often point out, when we were seeing these stories four years ago, where the left

00:41:35.000 would accuse a right-winger of doing something, I'm like, you realize it doesn't matter if

00:41:38.000 They believe it anyway.

00:41:40.000 Even when you can prove it.

00:41:42.000 Covington kids, Russiagate, hands up, don't shoot.

00:41:44.000 They don't care.

00:41:46.000 So what happens in a situation like this, where not only now do we have escalation, not only now do we have, you know, Elon Musk saying he's afraid he's gonna die, you have the far left outright saying right-wingers are shooting up substations and acts of terror.

00:42:00.000 One thing I try to do is to, if and when I come into contact with people that believe stuff like that, I try to have the same amount of amazement when they find out they're wrong, to kind of empathize with their amazement as they're realizing, oh, it wasn't targeted.

00:42:16.000 And then I'm like, okay, I get it now, and I feel what you're feeling. 0.97

00:42:20.000 As opposed to being like, you idiot, of course it wasn't targeted. 0.99

00:42:23.000 Just be there with them while they realize that they were not seeing the truth at the time. 1.00

00:42:28.000 That's one, you know.

00:42:30.000 But they're jumping to conclusions.

00:42:32.000 It's not a truth.

00:42:33.000 It's automatically everything is right-wing.

00:42:36.000 It's them.

00:42:37.000 It's the political opponents. 0.90

00:42:39.000 That kind of deranged lunacy is dangerous.

00:42:42.000 It's not, you know, an individual who's critically thinking or assessing information.

00:42:46.000 That's actually, you know, the responsible adult thing to do here is wait until we have evidence.

00:42:52.000 Now we're trying to weaponize everything. 0.65

00:42:54.000 It could be a lunatic. 0.99

00:42:55.000 It could be a crazy person. 0.99

00:42:56.000 It could not even be politically motivated.

00:42:58.000 It could be just some guy or some kid being like, hey, look what I could do.

00:43:02.000 You know, just some deranged individual.

00:43:04.000 Who knows?

00:43:04.000 I gotta be honest.

00:43:05.000 It sounds more likely to be climate change activists and Antifa than a right-winger who was upset with one drag event.

00:43:13.000 You've got people like Greta Thunberg.

00:43:15.000 How dare you?

00:43:17.000 They want to shut the power off.

00:43:18.000 They want to get rid of oil.

00:43:19.000 They want to get rid of energy.

00:43:20.000 They want to literally create human calamity style events that would devastate humanity, kill millions of people, all because they don't like oil.

00:43:29.000 Let me throw out a hypothetical.

00:43:30.000 What if, in protest to all these drag events, the right wing actually started to throw paint on classic paintings that were worth millions of dollars?

00:43:39.000 How would that be covered?

00:43:41.000 Yeah, I don't think anyone's happy about that, to be honest.

00:43:43.000 Like, you know, they're getting mocked by everybody, the people doing that over the climate change stuff.

00:43:49.000 The guy who's funding a ton of it is a massive well-known Hollywood producer.

00:43:52.000 He's put like three to four million dollars into the organization that is actually doing this.

00:43:58.000 It's pretty funny.

00:43:59.000 And I bring that up because of the hypocrisy of somebody who celebrates art as this big Hollywood producer. 0.98

00:44:04.000 He learned how to weaponize autism and mental illness. 0.98

00:44:07.000 Very effectively.

00:44:09.000 And these children, you know, clearly show us that there is a mental health crisis.

00:44:13.000 Clearly believe, they have been so scared that the world is ending, because we have politicians like AOC that go on the bully pulpit, and like, the world's going to end in eight years.

00:44:23.000 Again, not even quantifying real data, not even going after anything legitimate.

00:44:27.000 But just making things up out of thin air, just to radicalize, just to scare people, and then we have these effects of it, which would bring on more pain and suffering to humanity than we could even imagine, which is crazy.

00:44:39.000 But it's interesting to see who finances a lot of this stuff.

00:44:42.000 It's interesting to see the result of this.

00:44:44.000 It's interesting to see the news coverage of this, because, you know, they've been trying to push through a lot of these lockdowns, a lot of these restrictions.

00:44:51.000 They're going to be testing some of them out in the United Kingdom for many years now.

00:44:55.000 They couldn't never do it, but Then, you know, COVID happened.

00:44:59.000 And now, COVID is surely looking like it's going away, so they need something else to, of course, bring on the trauma-based mind control.

00:45:06.000 I want you guys to imagine something.

00:45:09.000 John Brown's raid on the Harper's Ferry armory.

00:45:12.000 He made one critical error.

00:45:14.000 He let a train leave.

00:45:17.000 When John Brown and his crew raided the armory, they basically took it.

00:45:19.000 They had it.

00:45:20.000 Information could not travel.

00:45:23.000 But, a train was passing through, and they knew what was going on, but he let him go.

00:45:28.000 The train, I think, made its way to Baltimore, I could be wrong about the details, but it basically got out, informed the authorities, who then quickly mustered their forces, and then headed to the Harper's Ferry to stop this.

00:45:39.000 Basically, John Brown was trying to cause like a slave uprising or something to that effect.

00:45:44.000 And I'm just thinking about this.

00:45:46.000 Today's day and age, Information is instant.

00:45:49.000 Something happens, the tweet goes out.

00:45:52.000 But I'm just thinking about what it must have been like to be on that train, knowing you were the only person carrying the message of this attack, and that if you don't make it in five hours' time, or however long it took, two or three hours, to the city to inform law enforcement, they would take this city, they would have it, and that would be the end of it.

00:46:12.000 It's a crazy concept.

00:46:14.000 Is this a metaphor for Twitter Files 2.0?

00:46:17.000 No, it's just understand how vastly different things have become and how that's having an impact on politics.

00:46:23.000 Yeah, it used to be that you would try and prevent the truth from getting out.

00:46:27.000 Governments would spend time subverting and putting people in prison and things like that. 0.80

00:46:31.000 Now it's impossible.

00:46:33.000 Now the idea is to put out so much fake information that the truth blends in and you can't tell what's what.

00:46:39.000 And this isn't just limited to politics, right, because I'm obviously going to bring a culinary angle to this, but let me just... It comes to food too.

00:46:48.000 So many headlines people read about food are wrong, and then it affects their dining choices for 10 to 20 years.

00:46:53.000 I've actually gone to the extreme of saying that Because of the government headlines about eating seafood being a bad thing, because of all this hypothetical mercury and PCBs, which actually nobody's ever died of mercury poisoning, we eat less seafood, instead we eat more meat and chicken, which is high in omega-6 fatty acids, which is the seed oil issue, which is your inflammation, and therefore people are dying at a younger age because of that.

00:47:14.000 It happens in food, it happens in every single industry, and the people who perpetuate these lies, it's the mainstream media.

00:47:20.000 Because yes, you're always going to have people on the right or the left who are going to Go out there and tweet obviously outrageous headlines, but when it gets picked up by the media and then basically adds credibility to it, and then they go on with that lie, well that's when this social cohesion, the fabric starts to rip at the seams, and then we all believe the lie, or many of us do.

00:47:38.000 So you're saying I should just eat nothing but raw salmon?

00:47:41.000 You should eat as much seafood as you can.

00:47:43.000 Six of the eight leading causes of death in the United States can be alleviated through the healthy consumption of omega-3 fatty acids, mainly found in seafood.

00:47:43.000 Really?

00:47:50.000 Is there any problem with overdoing scallops?

00:47:52.000 Scallops?

00:47:53.000 Well, you might be a little bit higher in cholesterol, but then just cut back on something else.

00:47:56.000 See, there's a reason I love oysters, and there's so much propaganda against them.

00:48:00.000 Oysters are vegan.

00:48:02.000 What?

00:48:02.000 How is that?

00:48:03.000 Oysters are plants?

00:48:04.000 Oh, no!

00:48:04.000 Stop it!

00:48:04.000 You're going to ruin them for me!

00:48:05.000 Are they not animals?

00:48:06.000 No!

00:48:06.000 Well, think about it.

00:48:07.000 They actually have a negative effect on the environment because they're filter feeders, so they clean the environment, so they have a negative effect, right?

00:48:13.000 I mean, in a good way.

00:48:14.000 And then there's no vertebrae.

00:48:16.000 They're not sentient in any capacity.

00:48:17.000 They're basically vegetables.

00:48:20.000 That's like eating someone that's... Don't insult them this way.

00:48:23.000 Stop it.

00:48:24.000 Which is why it's delicious.

00:48:25.000 They're delicious.

00:48:26.000 We should be eating more oysters.

00:48:28.000 The poor oysters right now are screaming out for real recognition.

00:48:31.000 Through filter feeding, yeah.

00:48:33.000 I mean, you can clean entire estuaries just with oysters alone.

00:48:36.000 If you took a hundred oysters and put it in a Big fish tank full of dirty water and then watch over the next day or so, that water will be clean.

00:48:42.000 And all of the dirt, you think, well then it must be going into the protein in the food that I eat.

00:48:45.000 No, it doesn't.

00:48:46.000 It actually goes into the shell, which is then calcified and then you can use that shell ground up as fertilizer or nutrients and soil when you do some sort of organic farming.

00:48:54.000 It's a completely closed loop.

00:48:56.000 There's so many solutions to the problems, they say, that are out there that nobody wants to consider.

00:49:01.000 There's a lot of conflicting data when it comes to high cholesterol.

00:49:04.000 We should talk about that in just a little bit.

00:49:06.000 But if we could just stay on topic here just a little bit.

00:49:08.000 Sorry.

00:49:09.000 No, no, no.

00:49:10.000 No, no, no.

00:49:10.000 You made a very good point saying, you know, people hear one thing and people jump to conclusions without actually doing the work towards understanding something fully, especially when it comes to diet.

00:49:20.000 I think that's one of the most misunderstood things when it comes to our mainline society.

00:49:24.000 Especially with the obesity crisis that we're all dealing with right now and how people are getting absolutely wrecked and destroyed because of the disinformation and because of the poison that's out there.

00:49:33.000 I also think there's a lot of, you know, just like we should be careful about what we put into our bodies, we should be careful about what we put into our minds.

00:49:39.000 And I think a lot of these people have been so traumatized by the echo chambers, by the, what's the circles called?

00:49:46.000 Not family-friendly circles, of thought that happened on social media, that they've been so radicalized that automatically something bad happens, they're going to point to their political opposition as the main reasonable force behind everything ill and wrong in this world.

00:50:01.000 Just like the Club Q shooting.

00:50:03.000 Again, that story went away very quickly.

00:50:04.000 Why isn't anyone talking about it anymore when there was a certain agenda behind it?

00:50:09.000 Now that the agenda has been questioned somewhat, automatically the story's just dropped by the corporate media when they were talking about this thing like it was the end of the world.

00:50:17.000 Come on.

00:50:17.000 There's a lot of things to really consider here and especially question.

00:50:21.000 Let me bring these stories together, because we have a story here.

00:50:24.000 This is from TimCast.com.

00:50:25.000 Police raid Virginia restaurant that defied COVID orders.

00:50:29.000 Owner says state officials tried to strip him and his guests of their constitutional rights.

00:50:33.000 The long story short, in Fredericksburg, there is Gormelt's.

00:50:37.000 I'm sorry, Gormelt's is the name of the place, right?

00:50:40.000 And it's a business that refused to shut down during the lockdowns and the masks and all that stuff.

00:50:46.000 So they are trying to take away the liquor license.

00:50:49.000 They say police officers entered a Fredericksburg, Virginia restaurant and executed a warrant to confiscate alcohol and records pertaining to the sale of alcohol after the state's Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority, ABC, revoked the restaurant's liquor licenses following the owner's refusal to follow mandates issued during the COVID pandemic.

00:51:05.000 The restaurant's owner, Matt Strickland, had his alcohol license suspended for 90 days in September after they ruled he willfully and knowingly ignored mandates.

00:51:13.000 So I wake up and I watch this video where these cops are going in and they're basically shutting him down serving this warrant.

00:51:20.000 I think he got like a 90-day suspension and my first edit, I got two things to say on this and then we'll expand because you've certainly, you know, been dealing with this stuff.

00:51:29.000 One, You should watch this video, and you should share the video, and if you live in Fredericksburg, you should tell everybody you know these cops are not welcoming your business.

00:51:38.000 If they want to destroy a man's life because of unconstitutional edict, they don't deserve a hot dog from your store.

00:51:45.000 They don't deserve a new sweater.

00:51:47.000 They don't deserve a cheeseburger. 0.67

00:51:48.000 It is non-violent civil disobedience that solved this problem.

00:51:51.000 Let these officers know you are shunned.

00:51:54.000 Look, Antifa likes to say this stuff, but they don't run businesses, they don't have jobs.

00:51:58.000 Some of them do, I get it.

00:51:59.000 But the cops aren't worried about that.

00:52:00.000 I'll tell you what they are worried about.

00:52:02.000 When you have the back the blue people, the MAGA people, the last line of people actually defending the police, and then the cops want to pull something like this, simply say, Officer, thank you for your service, now get out of my store, I will not serve you.

00:52:15.000 And then see how long, then you're the cops being like, look, I'm not shutting this business down, I'll never be able to show my face in this town again.

00:52:22.000 It used to be that way.

00:52:24.000 People used to fear that.

00:52:25.000 No, if I do that, Mayor, they'll never show my face.

00:52:28.000 Nope, now they don't care.

00:52:29.000 So, this guy films them?

00:52:31.000 Good.

00:52:32.000 The second thing I'm going to say is, Luke, on Saturday, do you want to go down to Fredericksburg?

00:52:35.000 Let's do it.

00:52:36.000 Let's support this business, and let's support the people who are doing the good things, and when they're punished unjustly, we should try to do everything we can to help out during those situations.

00:52:49.000 I imagine, what can we do?

00:52:53.000 Peaceful, organizing, just to highlight this stuff.

00:52:57.000 And I think highlighting is the first thing, and I think, you know, maybe I'll go down and take a tour of Fredericksburg, see what's going on.

00:53:02.000 Maybe, you know, we can reach out to this guy Matt, see what's up, and ask him about what happened, and then get the full details, and maybe keep shining a light on this stuff.

00:53:10.000 You guys should see the video, and if you haven't seen it, you should watch it as we're talking right now, so you understand what's happening.

00:53:15.000 I mean, you could see the shame on some of these cops' faces.

00:53:22.000 You're not here to discuss whether or not they're on cops'...

00:53:26.000 You're just here to do your job, right?

00:53:29.000 And you're going to enforce that regardless, right?

00:53:40.000 So you're part of the problem, man.

00:53:42.000 I want you to know that.

00:53:42.000 You're part of the problem.

00:53:47.000 You're part of the problem.

00:53:49.000 Everybody in here, every one of you, man.

00:53:50.000 What's going on in this country right now?

00:53:52.000 The reason that we're in the situation we're in as the United States of America, you're part of the problem, sir.

00:53:59.000 So you can't complain about what the President's doing.

00:54:01.000 You can't complain about the state that the country's in right now. 0.84

00:54:05.000 You can't complain about how screwed up it is.

00:54:07.000 You're part of the problem, sir. 0.96

00:54:09.000 You're just doing your job.

00:54:11.000 So many people were just doing their job for Hitler back in Germany.

00:54:16.000 You as well, sir.

00:54:17.000 That goes for you as well.

00:54:19.000 That goes for you as well.

00:54:20.000 That goes for all of you.

00:54:23.000 That goes for all of you, man.

00:54:25.000 There's no excuse.

00:54:26.000 There's zero excuse.

00:54:28.000 Just doing my job, that's not an excuse anymore, man.

00:54:32.000 That's not an excuse.

00:54:33.000 And you know what?

00:54:34.000 You know why these cops don't care?

00:54:36.000 Because they know literally nothing will happen.

00:54:39.000 I should say, they think.

00:54:41.000 And maybe the simple reality is just say, first of all, I want to be careful here.

00:54:46.000 I want to make sure I stress this point.

00:54:47.000 The Covington kids, a video comes out, they accuse these kids of wrongdoing.

00:54:50.000 We don't know for sure.

00:54:52.000 So we have the general story here.

00:54:55.000 This has been an ongoing thing.

00:54:56.000 And the general idea, they shut this guy down over refusing to abide by the unconstitutional mandates.

00:55:02.000 Now, the cops, years later, when the mandates aren't in place anymore, are coming after him and causing damage to his life.

00:55:10.000 I want to make sure we're careful, because I'll say this.

00:55:13.000 Make sure you look into this.

00:55:15.000 Don't be a knee-jerk reactionary like the left was at the Covenant Kids.

00:55:18.000 But, assuming all the reporting we have is true, then you should simply say to these officers, uh, you're not welcome in my place of business.

00:55:25.000 I don't want you coming around my family.

00:55:27.000 I don't want you in my church. 1.00

00:55:28.000 You are evil people. 0.99

00:55:30.000 It's the banality of evil.

00:55:31.000 But, uh, Chef Gruel, I mean, you defied, or I should say, you spoke out against, so, and what are your thoughts seeing this story?

00:55:38.000 Well, you know, and I think that's—thank you for kind of clarifying, because you're right, you don't know the backstory here.

00:55:45.000 But just looking at that video in and of itself, I can only imagine that it's nothing too serious, because number one, if this guy was doing anything that was criminal, he'd be arrested immediately.

00:55:54.000 If he was doing something that was a violative of any health standards, he would be shut down immediately, gas would be cut from his stores.

00:56:00.000 There would be messaging out there so assuming that this is the limitations on this you know two years previous I mean that's just absurd and the absurdity in general of a lot of these mandates as I've talked about for the past two years and have been punished for doing so it people understand it now right so you kind of have this reverse process where now the government which is typically behind the times they are so far behind the times that you have All people of both parties looking at the absurdity of what went down during COVID in many cases, not all cases, that making the case that this just shouldn't be happening is a much easier case to make.

00:56:37.000 But yet it's still happening.

00:56:39.000 I cannot.

00:56:39.000 I mean, two years later, that is absolutely nuts.

00:56:44.000 You had mentioned about 10 minutes ago, you said, you know, it was COVID and now it's the next thing.

00:56:48.000 I don't think it's the next thing.

00:56:49.000 I think we're in act number 417 on COVID and I think the drama or the tragedy is going to continue forward and they're going to keep writing sequels to it with COVID being kind of the main hero here.

00:57:00.000 Well, they're going to try to milk this cow as much as they can, but we have to understand, with this particular case, looking into it, there was a long series of court cases, and there was a ruling that came down which now allowed the government to come in and seize their records.

00:57:16.000 And to seize their liquor license.

00:57:19.000 So this is what happened here and we have to understand the lunacy that people had to go through within the last few years.

00:57:25.000 How absolutely insane, how absolutely evil it was in California.

00:57:29.000 There was businesses that were padlocked.

00:57:31.000 There was restaurants that were shut down.

00:57:33.000 There was businesses that had electricity cut by the city because they dared to defy their Arbitrary lockdown orders.

00:57:43.000 Meanwhile, Walmart was allowed to be open.

00:57:45.000 Costco was allowed to be open.

00:57:46.000 All these big box stores with connections to politicians.

00:57:49.000 They were able to run their businesses.

00:57:51.000 Police officers came on grandma's door, knocked it down because she dared to keep her business open, even when she had an online business. 0.99

00:58:00.000 The stories that happen here in the United States should terrify people because it highlights the story of order followers doing what they're told, committing human rights violations against the people of this country.

00:58:12.000 Real quick, sorry.

00:58:13.000 Matt Strickland, I see an individual, became a member of the channel right now, and it may be the Matt Strickland who's in this story.

00:58:21.000 So, Matt, if you are listening, I just followed you on Twitter.

00:58:23.000 Shoot me a DM if you want to say anything right now about this subject matter, and we'd love to meet up maybe this weekend, talk about what's going on.

00:58:29.000 But you were saying?

00:58:30.000 Nice, I love that.

00:58:31.000 And that's the beauty of communication right there, if that's the case.

00:58:34.000 I was going to say that, you know, some of these stories truly underscore the indifference that government has for people.

00:58:40.000 You say the human rights issues.

00:58:43.000 So if you look in California, they shut down outdoor dining in the December of 2020, okay?

00:58:49.000 75 degrees and sunny in Southern California.

00:58:51.000 They shut down outdoor dining And then this was concurrent with the state of California saying, Oh, and by the way, you can't get any unemployment funds until January, February, because we've misappropriated $80 billion in unemployment funds.

00:59:07.000 So you shut down outdoor dining.

00:59:08.000 This is the truth of what happened.

00:59:10.000 All these people got fired.

00:59:12.000 80% of the restaurant industry in SoCal got fired.

00:59:14.000 Oh, and by the way, it's going into the holidays and Christmas, and you have no money because the unemployment funds aren't available.

00:59:19.000 You had people just left on the streets, which is why we started the fund to raise money.

00:59:23.000 We're driving around the night before Christmas handing out $500 checks and giving people their rent money because we had to raise the funds as individuals because the government wasn't going to do anything to help these people.

00:59:35.000 What was the result of these policies?

00:59:35.000 Meanwhile, what happened?

00:59:37.000 The rich became richer than they ever have before.

00:59:40.000 It was the policy that committed the largest transfer of wealth from some of the poorest, some of the most people, some of the few people left in the middle class to the richest billionaires that, of course, were able to keep their online businesses open.

00:59:52.000 They were able to do things that violated Health and cold protocols, but that didn't matter.

00:59:58.000 It was essentially a deliberate action.

01:00:00.000 I believe a lot of this was actually done on purpose to shut people down, to make sure that they won't have any wealth with their family members.

01:00:08.000 Yeah, it seems like it's like trying to get back at someone you don't like because they made you angry.

01:00:12.000 But in reality, law enforcement, there's an ethical quality to it.

01:00:17.000 If jaywalking is illegal, fine.

01:00:18.000 If you're out in the middle of the street because there's a little baby laying there and you're jaywalking to get that baby off the road, you're not going to get arrested.

01:00:26.000 They're not going to fine you for that one because you did the right thing in violation of the law.

01:00:26.000 You may have jaywalked.

01:00:30.000 Sometimes people see the forest through the trees, and just because there's a top-down creed doesn't mean that you have to fall in line.

01:00:39.000 Uh, so to go after people that stayed open during what they want to call a pandemic in a time that how many people, like how much death did keeping that restaurant create open create?

01:00:49.000 Let's find that out.

01:00:50.000 Cause if so, if they're, if they, if they murdered people with keep staying open, put them in prison.

01:00:55.000 But if they didn't, what the hell is going on?

01:00:57.000 Sweden has, there's a tweet I put out a while ago, someone posted the data, Sweden's all-cause mortality, or whatever it's called, is like lower than most of Europe, and they had no lockdowns, or they had very, very limited restrictions.

01:01:09.000 So, we're looking at all this data, you can make an argument for Sweden's weather, they're further north, smaller population, maybe more spread out, but on the surface, you look at the data, and we don't see any strong, I mean, look at Florida.

01:01:23.000 I mean, Florida didn't lock down, Well, Donald Trump was telling Sweden to lock down, was saying Sweden was going to have a mass casualty event.

01:01:32.000 This was the President of the United States saying this, and he was absolutely wrong on a lot of these things.

01:01:39.000 As his administration started the two weeks to slow the spread nonsense, which again was absolutely ridiculous as the government Their only plan was to give you a $2,000 check, which they couldn't even give you out in a correct way.

01:01:52.000 They couldn't even get that right.

01:01:55.000 But what did that do?

01:01:56.000 That only indebted this country?

01:01:58.000 That only made people more reliant on government?

01:02:00.000 And it gave them not even a Band-Aid, it gave them It was like someone was on fire and the government spat on you.

01:02:06.000 That's exactly what I could kind of quantify to the government giving you a $2,000 check.

01:02:11.000 And some of the people were really happy.

01:02:12.000 They were like, yeah, it wasn't.

01:02:14.000 That money is going to have to be accounted for, paid for in some kind of way.

01:02:18.000 What we saw with these lockdowns, with these restrictions, was essentially the elites playing with everyone saying,

01:02:24.000 let's see how far we could push this.

01:02:26.000 Let's see how much we could torture them. 1.00

01:02:28.000 Let's see how much we could get away with them when it comes to

01:02:30.000 stealing everything from them, including their own businesses.

01:02:33.000 And seeing that was cruel and it was evil.

01:02:36.000 I want you guys to remember when they published videos of a restaurant and I think it was Leesburg going outside and

01:02:46.000 grabbing cicadas off the wall, bringing them inside, cooking them,

01:02:50.000 and serving them to people.

01:02:53.000 This was very illegal.

01:02:54.000 Was it a food truck?

01:02:55.000 No, no, it was a brick-and-mortar place.

01:02:58.000 And then they got told, they got shut down, like, you can't sell these cicada tacos anymore because you can't just take bugs off the street and then cook them and feed them to people.

01:03:06.000 That's what they had people doing.

01:03:08.000 Remember all of these news stories?

01:03:09.000 Eat the bugs! 0.77

01:03:10.000 Eat the bugs! 0.77

01:03:11.000 Yeah, that was actually celebrated as being very avant-garde.

01:03:15.000 Did you cook any bugs?

01:03:16.000 No, we don't.

01:03:17.000 Well, first of all, I think that the idea of cooking cicadas is disgusting. 0.95

01:03:20.000 You're a chef!

01:03:22.000 And they're also a derivative of shrimp, so if you have a shellfish allergy and you're out there cooking cicadas to try and be cute, you're going to die if you eat a cicada taco, number one.

01:03:29.000 Number two, we don't know where these cicadas have been, and if you look at their life cycle, actually they're full of toxins, but that's okay, go ahead and eat the cicadas.

01:03:36.000 Oh, let me just say also, this clear statement, shutting down outdoor dining in Southern California killed people.

01:03:42.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:03:44.000 Because of the fact that people weren't going out and sitting in an outdoor area to go out to eat with their friends and family.

01:03:50.000 Everybody needs to go out.

01:03:51.000 They need that social time.

01:03:52.000 What they did was they had private house parties in small enclosed areas instead, elderly people, etc.

01:03:59.000 And they got COVID and they died.

01:04:01.000 Eating outside in 75 degree weather we knew, scientifically, because we all saw the headlines that the protests outdoors were totally safe, right?

01:04:10.000 Remember that?

01:04:11.000 Totally safe.

01:04:12.000 But we shut down outdoor dining.

01:04:13.000 People died as a result of that.

01:04:15.000 I do not understand the outdoor dining shutdown.

01:04:17.000 Why?

01:04:17.000 Why did they do it?

01:04:18.000 They said that, well, the answer was, they said that the image that it gives to people out celebrating and dining outdoors is that it's okay to be outside during COVID.

01:04:26.000 So you see how this is all about the image, the picture, the symbolism.

01:04:30.000 And I will give credit to the Orange County Sheriff's Department and all the police force in Orange County.

01:04:36.000 We did remain open outdoors and we continued to serve outside.

01:04:41.000 We got a ton of support.

01:04:42.000 Our sales were tripled and the police force said, you're good to go.

01:04:46.000 We're not going to enforce any of these rules.

01:04:48.000 So there are local jurisdictions where there are officers that are standing up and saying, look, we're not going to stand behind these absurd regulations or mandates.

01:04:56.000 And, you know, those are the places you got to seek out and celebrate.

01:04:59.000 It was arbitrary.

01:05:00.000 It was made up.

01:05:01.000 Real quick, Matt just hit me up and he said that he guarantees 1000% the only reason they came after him was because he did not follow the COVID mandates.

01:05:09.000 And, you know, he'd like to come join us and talk about it more.

01:05:11.000 That'd be fantastic.

01:05:12.000 And thanks for hitting me up, brother.

01:05:15.000 I'm sick of seeing this stuff.

01:05:17.000 I'm sick of seeing all of these stories where, you know, we want to come out and be like the defund the police, like, well, not Luke, anyway, but the defund the police stuff goes too far.

01:05:24.000 There's a role for police.

01:05:26.000 The average person who's not an anarchist or hardcore libertarian probably likes the police, but we cannot tolerate the worst accesses of it.

01:05:34.000 Now, I know Luke's solution is typically like, no, it's all bad, just get rid of it.

01:05:37.000 The police are ineffective!

01:05:38.000 They have no incentive to actually provide you a service.

01:05:40.000 They have no incentive at all.

01:05:42.000 And majority of crimes go unsolved, especially when it comes to rapes, especially when it comes to homicides, especially when it comes to very serious situations, a lot of the times you're left on your own.

01:05:51.000 So why not just officially be on your own and be prepared to defend yourself?

01:05:55.000 The incentive, really, for a police officer is to protect its community, his or her community, because if your neighbors are getting attacked... So is this what these guys are doing?

01:06:03.000 Um, maybe they justified that, but I don't think so.

01:06:05.000 Do you feel protected when you're pulled over by a police officer on a motorcycle that's writing you a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt?

01:06:12.000 Do you feel protected, sir?

01:06:15.000 If I don't have a seatbelt, if I'm speeding and I get pulled over, I thank the cop, because I'm endangering the community.

01:06:20.000 Nah, it looks right.

01:06:20.000 Sorry, man.

01:06:21.000 No, dude.

01:06:22.000 I mean, the seatbelt thing— They're on a motorcycle!

01:06:24.000 That's the point.

01:06:25.000 I've had it.

01:06:25.000 I had a cop, one time I had my cell phone up to my ear, and he pulled me over for having my cell phone up.

01:06:30.000 Thank you, officer.

01:06:31.000 I was like, oh, come on.

01:06:31.000 I pointed, I was like, come on.

01:06:33.000 And he went, I'm gonna throw you in jail if you do not pull over right now.

01:06:37.000 It's not for your safety, it's for them to generate revenue for the state. 0.96

01:06:41.000 People speeding are just out there to kill.

01:06:43.000 I don't think people should be speeding.

01:06:44.000 Well, hold on, hold on.

01:06:45.000 Someone's speeding like, I don't know, 20, 15, 20 miles over, I understand.

01:06:48.000 But Luke's got a good point, let's break that down.

01:06:50.000 Like, you have to wear a seatbelt in your car, But the cop on a motorcycle is literally just sitting on this thing going 60 miles an hour, you know what I mean?

01:06:58.000 It is silly.

01:06:59.000 It's not for your safety. 0.96

01:07:01.000 Well, I think it is.

01:07:01.000 They'll pull you over, they'll be like, yo, put your seatbelt on, because if someone hits you, you're going to get killed, and I don't want to clean up a bloody body right now.

01:07:07.000 Yeah, but there's better ways of incentivizing those kind of policies. 0.99

01:07:09.000 But he's on a motorcycle, right?

01:07:10.000 Yes.

01:07:11.000 He has to weave through traffic.

01:07:12.000 No, but like has to speed up or go faster than you are a motorcycle and and you know

01:07:19.000 It's what get through cars But what isn't it like one in like 20 20 to 25 percent of

01:07:23.000 people will suffer some kind of accident on a motorcycle I'll do my dad ran himself over with a motorcycle one time

01:07:28.000 You see like he's a little over the front and it went over him people should be allowed to motorcycle. I

01:07:32.000 Got a motorcycle. They're great fun But there is something that's inherently silly about a

01:07:37.000 motorcycle cop giving a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt Like you are safer without the seat belt in the car than

01:07:41.000 they are just on the motorcycle following all the regulations

01:07:45.000 And this is what a lot of the lockdowns were all about.

01:07:47.000 It's all about protecting.

01:07:49.000 It wasn't about protecting anyone.

01:07:50.000 It was literally Dr. Fauci and other health officials who weren't healthy.

01:07:54.000 A lot of them were obese. 0.99

01:07:55.000 A lot of them were disgusting. 0.98

01:07:57.000 A lot of them were just absolutely unhealthy beasts sitting there, eating their doughnuts, telling you, hey, you know, We'll give you free donuts if you do this, but you gotta also jump through our hoops that we're going to literally make up.

01:08:11.000 The documents came out from the Fauci emails, and a lot of these rules, they're like, hey, where did you think of these six feet?

01:08:18.000 Where did you think of these plexiglass?

01:08:20.000 Where's the science and logic behind it?

01:08:22.000 And they're like, oh, there's none.

01:08:24.000 There's absolutely none of that.

01:08:25.000 It's me just making things up as I go along, and the latest scientific data is highlighting how a lot of these protocols, a lot of these things actually made the situation that much worse, and more people got sick as a result of it.

01:08:35.000 Right.

01:08:36.000 Let me tell you guys a story.

01:08:38.000 I told this before.

01:08:39.000 I was in Frederick, Frederick, whatever you pronounce it, Maryland, and this was during lockdown.

01:08:44.000 It was during mask mandates and all that stuff, and I went to get sushi, and I was with my girlfriend.

01:08:50.000 We walked into the sushi restaurant, We were standing probably about five or ten feet from a two-person table, and we walked in, and I was like, two?

01:08:59.000 And then they looked at me and said, you need to wear a mask.

01:09:02.000 And then I looked around at everyone, everyone, aside from the staff, no masks.

01:09:07.000 And I was like, um, excuse me?

01:09:09.000 Like, nobody's wearing masks.

01:09:10.000 I'm like, well, they're eating.

01:09:11.000 And I was like, oh, yes, I'd like to eat as well.

01:09:13.000 And they said, no, but put a mask on.

01:09:15.000 And I said, Are you serious?

01:09:18.000 Like, but they're not wearing masks right now.

01:09:20.000 Like, I'll just sit down, is that okay?

01:09:21.000 And they're like, no, put the mask on.

01:09:23.000 And then I said, you want me to wear a mask for 10 seconds?

01:09:26.000 Are you serious?

01:09:27.000 And they all go, everyone turns and goes, yes!

01:09:30.000 And I was like, I'm leaving. 0.99

01:09:31.000 Like, what is wrong with their brains? 0.99

01:09:36.000 There was 50 people sitting around with no masks on. 0.99

01:09:39.000 You know what I thought?

01:09:41.000 You know, I was in Frederick recently.

01:09:42.000 I'm walking around, I get a coffee.

01:09:44.000 And I thought, I made a mistake that day.

01:09:45.000 You know what I should have done?

01:09:47.000 I should have been like, oh, I'm sorry.

01:09:48.000 I should have taken the mask and just gone like this.

01:09:50.000 And just pulled it and held it right in front of my face.

01:09:53.000 Floating about an inch away.

01:09:54.000 And then just, you know, just, just, okay.

01:09:56.000 I'll sit down.

01:09:56.000 You want me to sit down?

01:09:57.000 I'll sit down and go, okay.

01:09:59.000 I should have just... Or grab a napkin or something at that point.

01:10:01.000 Just cover your mouth with your... Just put your hand over your face. 0.96

01:10:03.000 What the heck?

01:10:04.000 I mean, the napkin and your... Yeah, it's gonna do the same thing.

01:10:06.000 Your hand and a napkin is gonna do the same thing that a cloth mask would do.

01:10:09.000 I thought about that when I was there, and I said, you know, when you go to West Virginia, they did, the statewide had mask mandates for stuff, but, like, nobody was really following it.

01:10:18.000 It was kind of funny.

01:10:19.000 And so I just avoided any place in West Virginia that actually had a sign asking for masks. 1.00

01:10:23.000 I was like, this is stupid. 0.94

01:10:24.000 What did your restaurants do, if you don't mind me asking, and did you guys have to comply with the plexiglass that went up in price very significantly during this whole shenanigan nonsense theater that we had to go through? 0.99

01:10:36.000 I've got a warehouse full of plexiglass right now.

01:10:38.000 I mean, it's like, plexiglass was in such demand, I ended up having to meet some guy behind a 7-Eleven at 2.30 in the morning.

01:10:44.000 You bought it out of the back of a Cadillac.

01:10:45.000 Is that true?

01:10:46.000 No, I'm kidding.

01:10:47.000 But Plexiglas was so hard to get, it was virtually impossible.

01:10:50.000 And we left it up to the consumer, and we had people leave because they were like, they're not wearing masks.

01:10:54.000 But we just let people decide what they wanted to do.

01:10:56.000 But now that we're talking about masks, let me throw a couple facts out there.

01:11:00.000 Three million masks are discarded worldwide every single minute.

01:11:03.000 Masks are made of polypropylene.

01:11:05.000 All of those masks All of them end up in the ocean.

01:11:08.000 Yes.

01:11:08.000 Guess what polypropylene breaks down into?

01:11:10.000 Microplastics.

01:11:11.000 So in California, okay, I have to now, they are mandating masks again in Los Angeles.

01:11:16.000 So I have to wear a mask.

01:11:17.000 Recently?

01:11:18.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:11:18.000 Wow.

01:11:19.000 Yeah, they reinstated the mask.

01:11:20.000 So they're mandating masks indoors, all right?

01:11:23.000 That mask is going to end up in the ocean, it's going to be microplastic, it's going to end up in our entire food system, and it's going to kill sea life.

01:11:28.000 Now, Alternatively, if I ask for a straw and a straw is given to me, both me and the person who gave it to me get a fine.

01:11:36.000 If it happens twice, it's criminalized and you can go to jail for it.

01:11:39.000 Wow.

01:11:40.000 So, you can't get the straw because you gotta save sea life, but you have to wear the mask to kill sea life.

01:11:46.000 California.

01:11:48.000 Maybe this is a hot take, but I think that COVID particularly is spreading and has been spreading through the food supply, not through the air.

01:11:55.000 Or maybe it has been spreading through the air as well.

01:11:56.000 It's Ian's ice cream theory.

01:11:58.000 No, it's beyond that.

01:11:59.000 Now, from the Daily Mail, as of December 3rd, broccoli and raspberries could give you COVID.

01:12:04.000 Health experts warn after learning the virus can live on popular foods for as long as a week.

01:12:08.000 I think that's a little bit of a fear-mongering, personally, myself.

01:12:11.000 COVID was detected on peppers, ham, bread crust, and cheese for several days.

01:12:15.000 Hold on, report the story.

01:12:16.000 Ian's not wrong.

01:12:17.000 Broccoli and raspberries could get you COVID.

01:12:19.000 On top of ice cream, which has also been reported by Newsweek.

01:12:21.000 One, it's the Daily Mail.

01:12:22.000 Two, the title is suggestive, saying it could.

01:12:24.000 Not that it would.

01:12:26.000 It's detected COVID on peppers, ham, bread crust, and cheese.

01:12:26.000 It's been found.

01:12:31.000 I mean, absolutely, the writing is on the wall.

01:12:33.000 From Newsweek, COVID-19 has now been found in ice cream.

01:12:37.000 This is from January of 21.

01:12:40.000 I think that it lives on food, but they don't want to cause panic.

01:12:43.000 But the thing is, that could be scientifically true, but we know that COVID is a respiratory, so you have to breathe it in.

01:12:48.000 If it lives on the food, it's an active culture, but if you swallow it, then it's killed in your body.

01:12:52.000 I think it lives on pineapple pizza.

01:12:54.000 I mean, you could smell the food.

01:12:56.000 So you're saying no one should ever order a pineapple pizza?

01:12:58.000 Exactly.

01:12:58.000 If you smell food that has it on it, it could go into your lungs.

01:13:01.000 Well, if I could ask you, you just talked a little bit about the regulations in California.

01:13:06.000 I couldn't imagine.

01:13:07.000 I think it would be my worst nightmare in my life to open up a business in California.

01:13:12.000 What was it like operating business there?

01:13:14.000 What are some of the more insane regulations that you have to go through that the people don't know about?

01:13:19.000 Well, keep in mind too, and it's different in different parts of California, because everybody's like, why are you still living there?

01:13:23.000 Well, number one, because somebody's got to be fighting in enemy territory.

01:13:26.000 And number two, There are certain areas where there's reason and there's logic and rationale, Orange County being one of them.

01:13:33.000 Los Angeles is incredibly difficult when it comes to opening a business, but I'll tell this one story, right?

01:13:37.000 So as I had mentioned, I started as a food truck in 2011 and then grew the enterprise.

01:13:42.000 I had no money to start the first brick and mortar.

01:13:44.000 I bought this old bagel shop.

01:13:46.000 It was a hole in the wall, but it was a turnkey situation.

01:13:49.000 The landlord was going to take a chance on me, and I think we ended up Raising like seventy thousand dollars to open this and I had no money after that not even a penny Right when we're about to open we do the kind of final walkthrough with health and they go Where's your grease interceptor the underground one, right?

01:14:03.000 And I said, oh, it's well, we're grandfathered in because I bought the lease.

01:14:05.000 It's an above-ground one They said yeah, but that kind of grandfather piece is gonna go away in a couple years So just put the underground one and I'm like, look I can't that's twenty twenty five thousand dollars They're like, yeah, we don't care.

01:14:16.000 You got to do it.

01:14:17.000 So I'm about to open so I I have to take out a high-interest loan that I paid off like 14 years later at, you know, 39% interest compounded every minute.

01:14:26.000 But the point is, $25,000 the day before my business is supposed to open, when there wasn't even a specific regulation, it was more just, well, it's going to have to happen, even though we were told everything was going to be okay.

01:14:38.000 That story kind of represents California.

01:14:40.000 Were they expecting a bribe?

01:14:42.000 Because it seems like a lot of mafioso-like people run a lot of these regulations, and they kind of expect some money underneath the table just to not implement whatever made-up nonsense they want to implement. 1.00

01:14:52.000 That's more Jersey-style.

01:14:53.000 Jersey is, and I'm from Jersey, so I know that.

01:14:57.000 In California, it's just ineptitude.

01:14:59.000 In California, you're feeding the bureaucracy, and the bureaucracy feeds the bureaucracy.

01:15:04.000 It's kind of like a beast that eats itself.

01:15:07.000 Do you just love it there?

01:15:07.000 Is that why you're still there?

01:15:09.000 Um, it is a beautiful place.

01:15:10.000 My wife was born and raised there, and my kids love it.

01:15:14.000 So, you know, I, uh... Where are you?

01:15:17.000 You're in, uh, not Long Beach.

01:15:18.000 Near Long Beach?

01:15:18.000 Huntington Beach.

01:15:19.000 It's such an amazing area.

01:15:21.000 I mean, it's gorgeous.

01:15:22.000 It is.

01:15:22.000 Manhattan Beach, Long Beach, Venice, up and down the boardwalk.

01:15:25.000 You can ride your bike.

01:15:26.000 I highly recommend everybody get a chance to visit at some point in their life.

01:15:29.000 It's so amazing.

01:15:31.000 But why do you hate pineapple pizza?

01:15:34.000 It's too wet, so it drizzles on the pizza.

01:15:37.000 I would do like a pineapple salsa with jalapenos to finish the pizza, but roasted in sweet and sticky pineapple releases way too much moisture and then it kills the dough if it sits there too long.

01:15:47.000 What if the pineapple's diced up super fine?

01:15:49.000 Well, in the form of like a salsa that hasn't been cooked because then it won't release all that moisture.

01:15:54.000 What about dehydrated pineapple?

01:15:56.000 Too much work?

01:15:56.000 No, actually, I like that.

01:15:57.000 This could be the compromise that people have been asking for.

01:16:01.000 You know, it's funny, I did.

01:16:01.000 I said I would never eat pineapple pizza, and I forget what it was about, and then Newsmax reached out to me and said, well, you said you wouldn't if X happened, so we want to do a live shot of you eating pineapple pizza on TV.

01:16:13.000 So we actually did it.

01:16:14.000 That was the second time and last time I'll eat pineapple pizza.

01:16:18.000 Do you use seed oils?

01:16:21.000 I try not to, although seed oils are hidden in a lot of different Yes.

01:16:24.000 Different places.

01:16:25.000 They're everywhere.

01:16:25.000 That's where I go back to the omega-6s.

01:16:27.000 So seed oils are bad because you have this imbalance of omega-6 fatty acids that leads to inflammation and hypertension and a lot of other issues.

01:16:35.000 So if you actually eat more seafood, you can theoretically balance out that inflammation and have a couple seed oils.

01:16:42.000 Sorry.

01:16:43.000 What about all the gluten stuff?

01:16:44.000 Right?

01:16:45.000 You know, a lot of people don't want to eat it.

01:16:46.000 I've actually, you know, so I cut out sugars about a year.

01:16:49.000 It's been like a year now?

01:16:50.000 It's crazy.

01:16:50.000 I can't believe how long it's been.

01:16:52.000 And I lost a lot of weight, but I cut out rice, too.

01:16:55.000 And I've been adding... So I went, like, way down to, like, no carbs.

01:16:59.000 Then I sort of tried things.

01:17:01.000 I remember, like, Michaela Peterson and Jordan Peterson were talking about eating nothing but meat.

01:17:05.000 And they said, well, at the very least, it's an elimination diet.

01:17:08.000 You get rid of everything and then slowly try things and see which one bothers you.

01:17:12.000 And ultimately what I found is it's not so much eating sugar.

01:17:16.000 Too much, obviously, messes me up.

01:17:20.000 On the days that I'll eat bread, the next day I feel foggy and groggy.

01:17:24.000 Yeah, I mean it all affects... 90% of your neurotransmitters are in your intestines, right?

01:17:29.000 So obviously what we eat is related to our brains.

01:17:32.000 That's why people with irritable bowel syndrome take antidepressants, because they're one and the same.

01:17:37.000 Yeah, and this is why a lot of the gut problems are correlated with a lot of people taking SSRIs and antidepressants as well.

01:17:47.000 There's been something happening within our food industry that is absolutely, incredibly worrisome, especially when it comes to chronic diseases that are becoming more and more common.

01:17:56.000 Obesity rates have gone up 30% in the last 20 years.

01:18:00.000 Meanwhile, our calorie intake didn't really change that much.

01:18:04.000 So, people have to start asking themselves, what in the world is really going on here?

01:18:08.000 What do you make of all this?

01:18:09.000 What do you think, from being inside the industry, is responsible for a lot of this?

01:18:13.000 It's what the food is made up of.

01:18:13.000 Yeah, it is.

01:18:15.000 It's obviously the food deserts, too.

01:18:16.000 You look in a lot of these inner cities, they have no access to whole foods, real foods, so they're eating empty calories.

01:18:22.000 So even if you look at it on kind of a calorie-by-calorie basis, there's superfoods and there's effective calories and then there's just kind of empty calories that Then ultimately affect the mind, which is probably what you were feeling the next day and that's a common feeling.

01:18:36.000 I think that people come down on this notion, this gluten-free movement as being just this kind of California hippie left-wing thing.

01:18:43.000 I think there is a genuine issue in our food system that's leading people to have more sensitivity to gluten.

01:18:51.000 What it is, I mean I could be conspiratorial and I could pin it to certain vaccines or I could just say it's They use it as a desiccant on wheat.

01:19:06.000 If your wheat's not organic, what they'll do is they'll spray it on there throughout the course of the wheat's life to prevent, I think it's a fungicide or is it a herbicide?

01:19:14.000 It's an herbicide.

01:19:15.000 Yeah, to make sure you don't get weeds.

01:19:17.000 It's Bill Gates' favorite pesticide.

01:19:18.000 But then they go in right before they're about to harvest it and to dry out the wheat, they hit it with Roundup again as a desiccant, and then they harvest it really quick.

01:19:25.000 And now Bill Gates is making superglyphosate as, of course, the glyphosate and the bacteria resistance is starting to build up against it and not being as effective.

01:19:25.000 That's disgusting.

01:19:34.000 So now they're doing a stronger version of glyphosate.

01:19:36.000 And this is the latest corn video that Bill Gates kind of rolled out there recently with him sucking down on the corn cob.

01:19:45.000 You know, dancing and singing behind seats.

01:19:49.000 You know what they originally used glyphosate for?

01:19:51.000 It started in the Reagan administration, and they actually were using it.

01:19:54.000 They would spray Colombian cocaine farms with the glyphosate to kill it, and then it would, sadly, it would leach into the water system, would leach into the surrounding communities, which were like smaller communities or indigenous communities, and then they saw 10, 15 years later, a lot of those people Yeah. 0.96

01:20:10.000 start developing different cancers and all these health ailments but it was

01:20:13.000 used by the US government to stop it was part of the drug war

01:20:18.000 now it's in all of our food I'd rather have the cocaine in our food

01:20:22.000 yeah might as well who was it was it Elon Musk who tweeted that?

01:20:26.000 That's another thing, too.

01:20:28.000 Bring back Coke to CokeCon.

01:20:29.000 Buy Coke to put the cocaine back in it.

01:20:31.000 There's another chemical.

01:20:32.000 I don't want to talk right now.

01:20:35.000 There's a whole bunch of garbage that they put in our food and everybody eats it. 0.68

01:20:41.000 That's another thing, too.

01:20:42.000 We have these glass bottles.

01:20:43.000 We have a bunch of those plastic water bottles I see you're drinking over there, but we also

01:20:48.000 have—we started buying a bunch of glass bottles to get away from the plastic ones

01:20:51.000 because of the phthalates, the PCBs, the PFAs or whatever.

01:20:56.000 It's crazy.

01:20:59.000 I kind of feel like we look back on history and we're like, did you know they used to drink mercury to deal with syphilis or whatever?

01:21:05.000 In 50 to 100 years they're going to be like, could you imagine they were actually using plastic for their food?

01:21:09.000 How messed up is that?

01:21:10.000 It's such a good point.

01:21:11.000 You are entirely correct.

01:21:13.000 We will So much of what we're doing right now, we're going to look back on and be like, isn't that crazy?

01:21:17.000 Which is funny, because during COVID, everything was just agreed upon as pure fact.

01:21:24.000 You can't question it.

01:21:25.000 Trust the science.

01:21:26.000 Okay, so let's start.

01:21:28.000 I just want to bring up one more point, especially when it comes to microplastics that are now being found in people's lungs and blood.

01:21:34.000 This is something that, of course, is also a huge disruptor of your hormone system, and this is why a lot of people think that sperm levels and testosterone levels have gone down so much dramatically within the last few years.

01:21:48.000 Is there, I mean, there's no way of stopping it.

01:21:50.000 China just keeps getting all the plastic, dumping it into the ocean. 0.88

01:21:53.000 The United States just essentially just started doing the same thing.

01:21:57.000 The masks, again, lots of plastic just being thrown out there, people breathing it in, sucking all the plastic down there.

01:22:03.000 Is there a way of even avoiding this plastic?

01:22:06.000 I mean, we try to do, you know, glass bottles, but at the same time, everything else is in plastic.

01:22:11.000 All the food is wrapped in plastic.

01:22:13.000 All the cookware is laced with plastic.

01:22:16.000 All the things are nonstick plastic.

01:22:19.000 Is there a way of avoiding any of this craziness?

01:22:21.000 Because I'm just looking at everything that's happening, I'm like, there's no way of stopping it.

01:22:26.000 Dude, I mean, I use bamboo to cook my food, etc.

01:22:29.000 And you can use like a skillet, you know, there's things you can do that are like... Well, yeah, I have a cast iron skillet as well, but then, you know, the food comes packaged in plastic.

01:22:37.000 Right, that's true.

01:22:38.000 No, I don't understand, don't understand.

01:22:40.000 Am I being too paranoid here or do you, like, what are you seeing from your observation?

01:22:44.000 You know, I don't know in terms of where it's coming from in that particular scenario, right?

01:22:49.000 So if we have all these microplastics that are in our lungs, we're breathing that in.

01:22:54.000 So does that come from food?

01:22:56.000 Does it come from cooking?

01:22:57.000 Does it come from heat?

01:22:58.000 I just have no idea.

01:23:00.000 I mean, clearly it's an issue, but it's one of those issues that's used as a hammer in certain circumstances and ignored in other circumstances.

01:23:10.000 I'll put it this way, Luke.

01:23:11.000 We used to have to go to farms.

01:23:13.000 Uh, I believe it was, what, like a hundred years ago, the average family owned a cow, or something like that.

01:23:18.000 Like, cows were very common.

01:23:19.000 A family would have the family cow. 0.96

01:23:21.000 When you wanted meat, there wasn't plastic, but you had to go to a farm, you had to go to a butcher.

01:23:25.000 You can still do those things.

01:23:27.000 It's just that there's a convenient location with plastic-wrapped food for you.

01:23:31.000 And so we just choose to go there, but look man, we're lucky.

01:23:34.000 Out here, maybe even like five miles away, there's a farm, a farm stand, it's a little building, and when you go in there and get the meat, it's in like wax paper.

01:23:42.000 It's in like, you know, deli-wrapped wax paper.

01:23:45.000 And then they hand it to you, it's frozen, and you bring it home, and you peel the sticker, it's paper, open it up, Farm-fresh meat, right there on the spot.

01:23:53.000 No plastics, grass-fed, good stuff.

01:23:55.000 A lot of the papers have plastic in them.

01:23:56.000 A lot of the receipts have plastic in them.

01:23:58.000 My dream now is to have a cow.

01:24:00.000 Sorry, Ian, you had something else you wanted to bring up.

01:24:01.000 I'm wearing plastic glasses on my face.

01:24:03.000 It's pretty gross.

01:24:04.000 It's probably leeching into my head as I'm speaking.

01:24:06.000 I've been thinking that, a little esoterically, like, if the Earth is an organism and they say, like, it'll—if it doesn't like the life on it, it'll kill it all with, like, a flood.

01:24:14.000 Like, it'll flood itself and wipe out all the life that's been poisoning its surface, or it'll bring an asteroid, a meteoroid, or something.

01:24:20.000 I think also what the Earth would do—this is obviously kind of somewhat silly to think of the Earth as a living organism, but let's just say it is.

01:24:27.000 That it would wipe out humanity by making it sterile.

01:24:30.000 And we're kind of doing that to ourselves with plastics and hormones and chemicals, herbicides, in our water supply.

01:24:36.000 It's decreasing the fertility rates. 0.57

01:24:39.000 And so it's another way to wipe out a species is through infertility.

01:24:42.000 I'd never thought of that before.

01:24:43.000 We don't need a flood or an asteroid this time.

01:24:45.000 We just got to be really careful about what we consume.

01:24:48.000 But I mean, good question, Luke.

01:24:49.000 I think maybe the future is Graphene.

01:24:52.000 Getting away from these weird oil-based carbons and trying to make something a little more stable, like diamond packaging.

01:24:59.000 What if graphene is worse than all the other plastics and leaches even more and goes into our bloodstream?

01:25:04.000 You gotta find ways for it not to leach.

01:25:05.000 That's key.

01:25:06.000 Like, I don't know if you had like malleable diamond plastic, like if it was like diamond, pure carbon, and it was like crumpleable diamond, if that would not leach.

01:25:13.000 I mean, I think you could find ways to not leach.

01:25:15.000 Could we be proactive, though, and actually make the packaging out of testosterone?

01:25:19.000 Oh, something edible.

01:25:20.000 Or like vitamin C. We're thinking on the defense here.

01:25:23.000 We gotta be authentic.

01:25:24.000 There's a store not far away from here that they print their receipts on like vitamin C receipts and there's no plastics.

01:25:33.000 Vitamin C?

01:25:33.000 Yeah, it's vitamin C. Mom's supermarket.

01:25:37.000 They do that?

01:25:38.000 Yeah, the receipts are not made out of plastic.

01:25:40.000 They're like, hey, we have vitamin C receipts here.

01:25:43.000 You can eat it?

01:25:44.000 I asked them if I could.

01:25:45.000 They're like, no, but, you know, the plastic, especially from the receipts, does leach, does have chemicals on there.

01:25:51.000 They're like, yes, eat your purchase record, and we'll see if we let you out of the store.

01:25:54.000 But every time I'm there, I'm like, hey, this is pretty cool that you guys are doing this, and it's pretty awesome.

01:25:58.000 Aren't the receipts, like, particularly bad, or they have cancer-causing chemicals in them?

01:26:01.000 Is that the reason why?

01:26:02.000 Well, they're made out of plastic that leaches.

01:26:05.000 Right.

01:26:06.000 I've got to see some documents on this vitamin C receipt, because this is sounding cool.

01:26:09.000 Yeah, I've never heard of that.

01:26:10.000 You've got to show up to Mom's supermarket.

01:26:13.000 I'm reading about them right now.

01:26:14.000 Is there, like, a huge chain, Mom's?

01:26:15.000 I think so.

01:26:15.000 They're pretty great, though.

01:26:17.000 Yeah.

01:26:17.000 I like going there.

01:26:18.000 I've got farm fresh cream for my coffee.

01:26:20.000 Real grass-fed stuff.

01:26:21.000 Expires real quick, like it's supposed to.

01:26:23.000 So, just to ask you, because you're in the food industry, did you notice the level of food kind of going down throughout the last few years?

01:26:29.000 Like, do you see the quality being an issue?

01:26:32.000 Or, you know, what's the kind of inside baseball when it comes to procuring a lot of food for your restaurants?

01:26:39.000 Yeah, well, the trajectory has already been on a downward spiral, just in general, in terms of quality of food, and it follows the quality of everything, right?

01:26:46.000 But since the pandemic, yeah, it's gotten really bad because, number one, the supply chain issues, number two, our relationship with China, and I think people don't realize how much we rely on other countries for our food.

01:26:57.000 So, our food system is not just incredibly vulnerable and it's not domestic, but it's also, I mean, it's questionable when you're getting food from another place that you don't know how they're harvesting, raising, rearing, the husbandry behind their food.

01:27:10.000 So, yeah, the answer is, of course, take the extra time.

01:27:13.000 That's a great point that Tim makes is that if you take the extra time, you actually can go find that butcher, you know, that fishmonger, whoever it is, to actually try and understand where your food is coming from.

01:27:23.000 I know it sounds like a cliche.

01:27:25.000 From a wholesale perspective, it's much easier for me as a restaurateur because I can kind of cut out a couple kinks in that chain of custody, but consumers can do that too. 1.00

01:27:34.000 And this is the point I've been making since inflation has gotten so bad.

01:27:37.000 It's incumbent upon consumers to create a relationship with a restaurateur.

01:27:41.000 Not just, this isn't kind of self-fulfilling here, because then you can piggyback on their orders and their products.

01:27:48.000 I love it when customers come to me and say, hey, can you throw five extra pounds on the order of broccoli that you're getting?

01:27:54.000 And then I buy more, which gives me better economies of scale.

01:27:57.000 My customer gets raw products at a much lower value, which puts more money in their pockets that they hypothetically could spend.

01:28:04.000 at my restaurant or another community restaurant. I mean, that's the notion of comparative advantage.

01:28:09.000 And, you know, what that's doing is actually cutting out the Walmart to the world. It's

01:28:13.000 cutting out a lot of these other businesses. I think someone should develop an app to facilitate

01:28:17.000 customers piggybacking off of restauranteurs purchases. I completely agree. Well, there's

01:28:23.000 also a lot of monopolies that I think cause a lot of problems in the industry. I think

01:28:27.000 it's estimated that there's only 10 companies that produce 90% of the food in the United States.

01:28:32.000 And when you have so many few big multinational industries controlling a lot of this, you know,

01:28:38.000 many times profit is incentivized.

01:28:41.000 Over, of course, offering a product that's actually good or healthy or actually going to be helping people in the long term, because a lot of the times it's not incentivized to do so.

01:28:50.000 And I think also behind the scenes there's a bigger agenda to try to poison people with the release of glyphosate, with the release of seed oils, making them a lot cheaper with government subsidies, knowing that the end result will be more unhealthy people, which will be dependent on government, and therefore government is doing this, according to my own personal opinion.

01:29:08.000 Isn't the overwhelming majority of food from Cisco, from all these restaurants?

01:29:13.000 Yeah, Cisco U.S.

01:29:14.000 Foods, they're two of the biggest players out there.

01:29:17.000 Actually, their merger was broken down by an antitrust lawsuit, which is surprising, but then it would have been just one behemoth running all the food.

01:29:24.000 But how does that work?

01:29:25.000 What does Cisco do?

01:29:26.000 Are they a distributor?

01:29:27.000 They're a wholesaler and a distributor, so what they're going to do is they're going to aggregate all the products and then they're going to distribute it to all the Restaurants, venues, you name it.

01:29:35.000 So it's just massive purchasing power.

01:29:38.000 Wow.

01:29:38.000 Yeah.

01:29:39.000 I mean, it is huge.

01:29:40.000 And it's, for me, you know, when it comes to trying to grow a business and scale good, I consider what we were doing from a sustainability perspective a good business.

01:29:51.000 And using the little guys, because we mandated that as part of our franchise system, it was virtually economically impossible to do so and to avoid the Ciscos and the U.S. 0.98

01:30:00.000 Foods of the world.

01:30:02.000 And ultimately my franchisees ended up using those guys, and I couldn't stop them from using it because you can't force them to lose money, and then the big guys win.

01:30:11.000 They always do.

01:30:11.000 What's this new lawsuit?

01:30:12.000 You said if your franchisee does something, like I didn't get the full story, but what is it?

01:30:17.000 It's called the Joint Employer Rule, and it was actually set forth during the Obama administration, it was overturned during the Trump administration, and then it was put back in place under the new Biden administration.

01:30:28.000 And what it basically conjectures that if you are a franchisor, let's say I sell a franchise to you, you're all the way out here, you're running the franchise, and you're mistreating your employees.

01:30:39.000 I've just licensed you my brand.

01:30:40.000 I don't run your business, you run your business, I have absolutely nothing to do with it.

01:30:43.000 Let's say you short pay one of your employees, your employee sues you, they sue me too.

01:30:48.000 I'm in the lawsuit even though I have nothing to do with it.

01:30:50.000 It pierces that corporate veil between the franchisee and the franchisor, giving responsibility

01:30:55.000 to the bigger guy.

01:30:57.000 That doesn't sound like a functional system.

01:30:59.000 Yeah, and originally it was set forth by McDonald's.

01:31:02.000 It was a McDonald's lawsuit because they said that McDonald's was trying to stop the unions from working with local franchisees, and then there was a lot of issues and lawsuits.

01:31:11.000 They went after whoever had the biggest bank account.

01:31:14.000 Oh, okay, so a certain level of corporations.

01:31:16.000 Anyway, that's an interesting conversation.

01:31:17.000 How did you guys navigate, like, because you said 2011 is when you opened your first food cart, and so 11 years later you've got 60 restaurants?

01:31:24.000 How did you create such explosive growth?

01:31:25.000 was ten years later, we had 40 couple different concepts.

01:31:28.000 How did you create such explosive growth?

01:31:30.000 Was it my, hopefully what you're going to say is good ingredients, but tell me about

01:31:34.000 like what did you prioritize to get there?

01:31:36.000 Well, actually it was pretty simple formula.

01:31:38.000 So what we said is the whole entire mission was to get people to eat more seafood, but

01:31:42.000 more the right types of seafood.

01:31:44.000 So we were sourcing 100% sustainably caught, raised, farmed seafood.

01:31:49.000 And then all of our ingredients, we were the first four-star green certified restaurant.

01:31:52.000 We were actually kind of at the forefront of green, so I'm like that kind of weird hippie

01:31:59.000 space.

01:32:00.000 But we sent that, we stuck with our message.

01:32:04.000 We were true to it.

01:32:05.000 We weren't greenwashing.

01:32:06.000 90% of the businesses now that use all that language, they're not true to it.

01:32:09.000 We're true to it.

01:32:10.000 And sustainability tastes better, right?

01:32:12.000 And that's what people need to realize is that higher quality when it comes to food and sustainability, it does actually taste better.

01:32:18.000 And that was it.

01:32:19.000 I mean, it's a real simple formula.

01:32:21.000 Just serve good food.

01:32:22.000 I'll say one thing.

01:32:23.000 You know, Papa John's better ingredients.

01:32:25.000 The company did Papa John dirty, but actually look at their ingredients.

01:32:29.000 And it's, it's true.

01:32:30.000 And I, you know, I love this.

01:32:31.000 I looked at the, the, the ingredients for like Pizza Hut.

01:32:34.000 Their crust has Splenda in it.

01:32:36.000 Yeah.

01:32:37.000 Yeah.

01:32:37.000 Why?

01:32:37.000 And then you look at Domino's and Domino's isn't as bad, but they've got, you're like, you'll see like words you can't pronounce, but then you look at like Papa John's and it's like whole wheat water yeast, you know, the sauce, tomatoes, sugar, you know, the cheese, part skim milk, whatever.

01:32:52.000 It's like, wow, really is like very, very basic stuff.

01:32:55.000 We got these protein bars, the Epic Protein Bars.

01:32:58.000 It's just meat.

01:33:00.000 You got them because the ingredients, it's like beef, garlic, paprika.

01:33:03.000 And then the only thing in it that's weird is like the lactic acid thing.

01:33:06.000 I'm like, I know what that is.

01:33:07.000 So it doesn't freak me out.

01:33:08.000 And it's like, it's pretty good stuff, man.

01:33:11.000 We gotta go to Superchats.

01:33:12.000 We're gonna go to Superchats.

01:33:13.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, and become a member at TimCast.com.

01:33:19.000 We're gonna have a members-only uncensored show for you tonight.

01:33:22.000 You don't want to miss it.

01:33:23.000 Let's read some of these messages.

01:33:26.000 DayBob says, please get Gormelt's owner that was raided Friday.

01:33:30.000 He actually sent me a message.

01:33:32.000 We read it on the show, he sent me another message, so I'll be in touch, and that'll be really great.

01:33:37.000 All right.

01:33:38.000 Max Reddick says, Tim, I hear a lot of people on the left saying the DHS colluding with Big Tech started under the Trump administration as a gotcha.

01:33:44.000 Thoughts?

01:33:45.000 I'm pretty sure it did, didn't it?

01:33:46.000 Yeah.

01:33:46.000 He passed the law that allowed the DHS to do a lot of this stuff.

01:33:50.000 He passed the directive, yep.

01:33:51.000 And then it came back to haunt him.

01:33:53.000 Yeah.

01:33:53.000 What a funny thing for Republicans to keep doing these things.

01:33:56.000 And, you know, also the gain-of-function work that Donald Trump approved that was banned under Obama.

01:34:01.000 Yeah, that really did have an effect here.

01:34:02.000 We didn't go over this story today.

01:34:04.000 Actual says Trump's post was taken out of context. He was saying if the establishment can do the things they do

01:34:09.000 They will terminate rules regulations and amendments including the ones in the Constitution. We didn't go over

01:34:14.000 this story today This is where Trump said something about

01:34:17.000 We can talk about this one for the members only as we you know

01:34:20.000 What was the quote exactly they're referencing, Donald Trump?

01:34:22.000 It's a long quote.

01:34:23.000 I wouldn't be able to just read it off of my head, but it was something the effect of, you know, the rules being changed or something.

01:34:29.000 All right.

01:34:30.000 Amisong says, Cosmic Garth seems more like a bard to me. 1.00

01:34:35.000 Yeah, sometimes I feel like that myself, thank you.

01:34:37.000 That's also a charismatic sorcerer that uses a musical instrument to empower their spells.

01:34:42.000 Ah, Bard.

01:34:43.000 Or even to cast them.

01:34:44.000 Culture Abduction says, I have a friend who lives in the area where the substation is in, North Carolina, and he's chilling because he has chickens.

01:34:51.000 He's actually, he's chilling because he has chickens, he's actually bragging about it.

01:34:55.000 Well, you know, chickens are legit.

01:34:57.000 They can handle the cold weather, they do their own thing.

01:34:59.000 They make more of themselves.

01:35:00.000 That's the crazy thing.

01:35:01.000 You get some chickens, you put them out there, food and water, they make more of themselves.

01:35:04.000 And then you eat the extras.

01:35:06.000 It's fantastic. 0.92

01:35:08.000 And you eat their butt bounty. 0.98

01:35:09.000 Mmm, wonderful butt bounty. 1.00

01:35:11.000 Just clean the poop off. 0.95

01:35:12.000 Yeah, rinse it off.

01:35:13.000 You know what I really love?

01:35:14.000 I especially love chicken dishes that have chicken and egg, like Pad Thai.

01:35:17.000 Because there's something just, like, very, like, apex predator about that.

01:35:22.000 Yeah, right.

01:35:23.000 We're eating your egg and you with the same thing.

01:35:26.000 It's kind of crazy.

01:35:27.000 Max Reddick says, Tim, I turned 30 on the 22nd of this month.

01:35:30.000 What's the likelihood as a member that I could come on the show to make my birthday wish come true or name a price?

01:35:36.000 Probably not likely at all, dude.

01:35:37.000 Sorry to say it.

01:35:38.000 Happy birthday.

01:35:39.000 Happy birthday, though.

01:35:40.000 Especially all the security stuff going on.

01:35:41.000 It's just getting crazy out here, man.

01:35:43.000 Hey, I'm 32.

01:35:44.000 Shouts out, dude.

01:35:47.000 Mr. Brightside says, is Ye Punk Rock for offending everyone?

01:35:50.000 Yes, he is.

01:35:51.000 Yeah, I don't know if he actually believes this stuff.

01:35:56.000 Then it's not really punk rock.

01:35:58.000 If he's just trying to shock the system, then okay.

01:36:01.000 But didn't Sid Vicious, he wore a swastika all the time or something like that?

01:36:05.000 Yeah.

01:36:05.000 Yeah, but it was different than I was trying to.

01:36:07.000 I mean, that's where the whole God save the Queen thing and they were saying, you know, to hell with that, basically.

01:36:13.000 Paige Young says, did Ye just get suspended on Twitter?

01:36:16.000 No, he was suspended last week.

01:36:17.000 There you go.

01:36:20.000 For posting a picture.

01:36:21.000 I don't know.

01:36:22.000 I thought he was going to get suspended for saying that he was going to let Milo and Nick use his Twitter account.

01:36:25.000 I don't know if there's ever confirmed that he did that, but that's a ban evasion if he did that.

01:36:30.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:36:31.000 says, Tim, we needed your 4 p.m.

01:36:32.000 video.

01:36:33.000 The truth is the truth.

01:36:34.000 Yes, I'm optimistic we're moving in the right direction, but it's still going to be an uphill battle.

01:36:38.000 Yeah, basically at 4pm I talked about similar things, you know, Elon saying he's fearing for his life, talked about what happened here, and, you know, the general idea was, around like, I don't know, 2.30 I was on a phone call with a lawyer, and I'm asking him like, what is the legal remedy to all of these things?

01:36:55.000 And they were like, nothing.

01:36:57.000 There isn't one.

01:36:58.000 You know, it's like, they give you the runaround, they say, look, here's what we can do for you.

01:37:01.000 I'm like, you can't do anything.

01:37:03.000 You literally can do nothing.

01:37:05.000 There's no civil action, there's no criminal action.

01:37:07.000 The government has become completely impotent, or they've always been, as Ian pointed out earlier.

01:37:11.000 They've always been.

01:37:12.000 Maybe they've never actually been able to deal with crime.

01:37:14.000 It really is the threat of force that keeps us safe, not the actual.

01:37:17.000 Ideally, there is none, no force being implicated.

01:37:19.000 And what I think is when Antifa ran amok, smashing stuff, burning things down, and murdering people, the veil shattered.

01:37:25.000 And now all of a sudden, criminals are just like, nothing matters.

01:37:28.000 It's a lot of times why regimes will do huge crackdowns if there's even an inkling of an uprising.

01:37:33.000 Because you do it hard and fast, and then they stop, is the idea.

01:37:35.000 Because you can't handle a big, widespread uprising.

01:37:38.000 Nobody can.

01:37:39.000 Nervous Sip says, for the love of everything, McDonald's burgers are not pre-made.

01:37:43.000 It takes them 30 seconds to assemble.

01:37:44.000 WRONG! 0.86

01:37:46.000 I'm not saying they get them out of a freezer box with the thing.

01:37:49.000 I'm saying, when you walk into McDonald's, there's a rack with heat lamps, and the burgers are sitting in it already.

01:37:55.000 What they'll do is they'll make us- there are certain burgers that sell very quickly, like Big Macs.

01:38:00.000 They'll make it, usually sells in a minute or two.

01:38:03.000 The point is, if Donald Trump were to go into McDonald's and say, I would like one Big Mac, make it the biggest, the biggest Mac, then someone's gonna take- oh, I'll make this Big Mac for him and spit on it.

01:38:11.000 But if he walks in, and under the heat lamp is a burger that had been made before he walked in, then he gets a burger made to standard.

01:38:19.000 That's how it goes.

01:38:22.000 Calchi says, the earth cannot be determined to be flat because you are too small.

01:38:26.000 A sufficiently relativistic small object in a large sphere observes degenerate geometry.

01:38:31.000 The sphere turns into a flat object.

01:38:33.000 Thank you for that enlightening information as to why the world is not flat.

01:38:38.000 Is it because we would fly off?

01:38:39.000 Is that what he said?

01:38:40.000 I didn't understand it.

01:38:41.000 You offended Ian with that comment.

01:38:43.000 Yeah.

01:38:44.000 Sergeant Bucks says I run a catering company in Washington.

01:38:46.000 Lockdown rules were borked.

01:38:48.000 Weddings could be up to 200 people, 6 feet apart, but if food was available the cap was

01:38:52.000 50.

01:38:53.000 Local chains were cleared to do delivery, but I was told to close up shop.

01:38:58.000 Maybe when you look at these things you realize it clearly wasn't about COVID.

01:39:01.000 It was about limiting human expansion and consumption.

01:39:05.000 And the New York Times wrote an article saying the Earth is healing.

01:39:08.000 Then they started talking about climate lockdowns to save the planet.

01:39:11.000 And the rest is history.

01:39:12.000 Yeah, what happened in hospitals and funerals was absolutely inhumane, the way people were pushed away from their family members when they were leaving this Earth.

01:39:20.000 When people were trying to hug each other during a funeral, there's people screaming at them.

01:39:24.000 That was evil.

01:39:25.000 Absolutely evil, what we saw and went through.

01:39:29.000 David Todd says, Tim, if you read tweet 21 and 22 together, I believe Matt Taibbi's no government involvement portion is specifically about Twitter using the hacked materials policy to censor.

01:39:39.000 Essentially, the government never confirmed it was hacked for Twitter to use that policy.

01:39:43.000 I see what you're saying.

01:39:45.000 However, if the DHS and FBI reached out to Twitter and said specifically, hey, hacked materials are coming with Hunter Biden involvement, and then they started censoring that, that is direct and overt government involvement, and that information was available.

01:39:59.000 SFC Retired says it's called a home invasion, bro.

01:40:02.000 Yes, uh, that's correct.

01:40:04.000 It's a home invasion.

01:40:05.000 So, uh, my home was invaded this morning.

01:40:08.000 I was not there.

01:40:10.000 Um, you know, keep them guessing.

01:40:13.000 They're posting an address claiming it's my house.

01:40:14.000 It's not my house.

01:40:15.000 They're posting a picture that, heavens, it's not. 1.00

01:40:17.000 It's not even the same address they're posting, so these people are stupid. 1.00

01:40:20.000 But, uh, you know. 0.99

01:40:23.000 I worry for the people who come to these places.

01:40:25.000 We have armed security.

01:40:27.000 Please do not show up here under any circumstances without authorization.

01:40:31.000 That's just plain and simple, man.

01:40:33.000 Yeah, it's a bad idea.

01:40:34.000 Very bad.

01:40:36.000 Jen Desai says, Miranda Devine at New York Post reported FBI was monitoring Giuliani's emails in regards to the laptop, which led them to monitor her emails.

01:40:44.000 She has the most extensive reporting on the laptop from hell. 0.88

01:40:48.000 We've read a lot about it, man.

01:40:50.000 Yeah.

01:40:51.000 What do we have here?

01:40:54.000 Cal is back saying those who conduct violence in the name of someone else's free speech should be the definition of hate speech.

01:41:00.000 There's nothing forcing you to listen to an individual.

01:41:02.000 Extra punishment for criminals.

01:41:04.000 Well, there you go.

01:41:05.000 No criminals.

01:41:08.000 All right, where are we at?

01:41:09.000 TD says, the FBI spied on Giuliani's cloud.

01:41:12.000 Shop owner gave laptop to G. Elon don't want to be Seth Riched.

01:41:17.000 I'm from Frederick.

01:41:18.000 Hope y'all hit up Spook Hill.

01:41:20.000 I don't know what that is.

01:41:21.000 I don't know what that is.

01:41:22.000 And it's Epstein.

01:41:23.000 Sorry, Elon didn't want to be Epstein.

01:41:26.000 Although, there is a possibility.

01:41:29.000 You know, the Seth Rich verb may work.

01:41:30.000 They said it was a robbery gone wrong or something to that effect.

01:41:32.000 And, you know, completely unrelated to Seth Rich.

01:41:36.000 Just, you know, just so you know.

01:41:38.000 One way they could get rid of someone is to do a staged robbery, you know?

01:41:43.000 And then they could just be like, yeah, it was a robbery.

01:41:44.000 Robberies happen.

01:41:45.000 Completely unrelated to Seth Rich.

01:41:48.000 Anyway, and I mean it literally.

01:41:49.000 I'm just saying, you know, just, you know, or Epstein.

01:41:54.000 There's many ways to do it.

01:41:54.000 Or Epstein.

01:41:55.000 There is.

01:41:56.000 There's many ways for people to, or a heart attack gun, as Luke mentioned.

01:41:58.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:41:59.000 It's been around for a long time.

01:42:00.000 But, you know, unrelated.

01:42:01.000 Or just making me hate reality enough that I do it to myself.

01:42:04.000 Oh, well, you see, we have that other story.

01:42:06.000 You hear about what's going on in Canada?

01:42:08.000 Some Paralympian called the government being like, I need a stair lift. 0.99

01:42:11.000 And they're like, we can kill you.

01:42:13.000 They offered her medical assistance in dying instead of just getting her the wheelchair lift for her stairs. 0.70

01:42:17.000 Yeah, amazing.

01:42:18.000 We've hit a new level.

01:42:20.000 yeah yeah those that want to be here the ones that will be here in germany they have a similar policy but you need to have uh you need to be vaccinated in order to be wait what yes yes i saw yes too dangerous otherwise i tweeted it today it was an it was an article from 2021 yep in germany if you want to be euthanized you have to be vaccinated first I think there are people whose brains stopped working.

01:42:42.000 Or maybe never worked at all.

01:42:44.000 They say that the death would be so much worse if you weren't vaccinated.

01:42:48.000 There's a lot of jokes that can be made that would get us in trouble that I'm not gonna say here.

01:42:52.000 In Canada, they send you a device.

01:42:54.000 Yeah.

01:42:55.000 They send you a medical assistance and dying device.

01:42:57.000 Yeah, that's wild.

01:42:58.000 And then you like, I guess, get at your house and let them know it's happening and then you kill yourself and they come collect the body or something?

01:43:04.000 Hey, it's North America.

01:43:04.000 We like that DIY, you know?

01:43:06.000 That's crazy, man.

01:43:08.000 Alehad says, Tim, please give this 20 to Ian.

01:43:11.000 He's the best part of IRL.

01:43:13.000 Makes listening to such heavy topics easier.

01:43:15.000 No Ian, we peeing.

01:43:16.000 Remember, rolling a 20 in a vacuum is no joy.

01:43:20.000 It's all about friendship.

01:43:21.000 It's about people seeing you roll that 20.

01:43:23.000 That's what it's all about.

01:43:24.000 That's true.

01:43:25.000 If you're sitting in your room and you rolled a 20-sided and got a 20, you'd look around and if a 20-sided die is rolled in an empty game shop, was the 20 rolled at all?

01:43:33.000 Good question.

01:43:36.000 No, that's actually a really good point about humanity in general.

01:43:39.000 Everything we do.

01:43:40.000 Jeremy Boring was talking about this when he was on the show.

01:43:41.000 Everything we do is for the human experience.

01:43:44.000 So without humans, what's the point of anything we do?

01:43:47.000 So what you do is for humans.

01:43:49.000 Someone needs to tell Bill Gates that immediately.

01:43:51.000 Bill!

01:43:52.000 You need to listen to this now.

01:43:54.000 Mitt Fomo, too, says, eat more seafood.

01:43:57.000 I love that.

01:43:57.000 That's awesome.

01:43:59.000 Whenever I get a steak, they do the scallops on the side.

01:44:01.000 You can get the accompaniments.

01:44:04.000 I've been so concerned with mercury that I have avoided bottom feeding seafood.

01:44:09.000 Lobster, shellfish.

01:44:10.000 I mean, all shellfish bottom feeders, essentially.

01:44:12.000 I would say sardines are some of the most healthiest things you can have.

01:44:16.000 But what do you think is the most healthiest seafood you can have?

01:44:19.000 Uh, sardines and oysters.

01:44:20.000 Okay.

01:44:20.000 But if you're thinking of mercury, just look at the trophic scale.

01:44:23.000 Think of the high predators, because they eat down the trophic scale.

01:44:26.000 So anything small, medium-sized fish, no traceable levels of mercury.

01:44:30.000 Anything on the higher end, yes, they're going to have more traceable levels of mercury, but who's eating swordfish every single night?

01:44:35.000 Yeah.

01:44:35.000 What's that called?

01:44:36.000 Tuna.

01:44:36.000 Tuna also is pretty big and pretty massive.

01:44:38.000 People don't understand how huge tuna is.

01:44:39.000 Wild Pacific Albacore tuna, they reproduce at six months and they have no traceable levels of mercury.

01:44:44.000 They're beautiful, locally caught, U.S.

01:44:48.000 wild fish.

01:44:48.000 See, I just love sardines and oysters.

01:44:51.000 It's called bioamplification, when an animal eats another animal and gets all its toxins.

01:44:55.000 Bioaccumulation.

01:44:56.000 There's scams where you try to order fresh salmon, and you'll say you want wild salmon, right?

01:45:03.000 From Alaskan or whatever.

01:45:05.000 And what they do is they have brand labels.

01:45:09.000 Wild Brand or something like that.

01:45:11.000 And you're actually getting farmed salmon that's named Wild Salmon, not really Wild Salmon.

01:45:15.000 Dude, that's crazy!

01:45:17.000 I know.

01:45:17.000 Yeah, that's right.

01:45:18.000 So I could tell you a story about that, but I don't want to upset any sponsors.

01:45:21.000 But I will say this, that there is something called stock fortification, where you actually will start fish in hatcheries and release it into wild.

01:45:30.000 It was originally established by the government in order to help stocks that were declining.

01:45:35.000 Wow.

01:45:35.000 and there are a lot of fisheries that fortify their stocks, release it into the wild, and

01:45:40.000 legally you can label it as wild.

01:45:42.000 So it's kind of a controversial subject, but they do, I would say upwards of 80% of

01:45:48.000 salmon is mislabeled in the restaurant industry.

01:45:50.000 Have you heard of iron fertilization?

01:45:52.000 Are you familiar with the technology?

01:45:54.000 They take iron oxide dust and put it in the ocean, and then it causes plankton to bloom, because plankton uses the iron oxide, and then the plankton is fish food.

01:46:02.000 Huge regrowths of fish.

01:46:04.000 The fish populations re-bloom.

01:46:06.000 If you really want wild salmon, If you really want to help the environment, you'd be doing that instead of all the other wacky stuff that they're trying to propose.

01:46:13.000 Because when you look at that solution, what you mentioned, it's the end-all be-all when it comes to bringing life back to the oceans.

01:46:19.000 The Earth does it to itself.

01:46:20.000 You see the River of Blood in Antarctica.

01:46:21.000 It's this iron, just iron water.

01:46:23.000 It's just flushing into the ocean because it looks like it's preparing to flood itself.

01:46:26.000 So it wants to iron up the water so that we can have plankton and fish.

01:46:29.000 Yeah, what you brought up is key and important for a lot of people to pick up.

01:46:33.000 Beavis McLean says, Tim, you are right in pushing back against police who do not respect the Constitution.

01:46:37.000 I do have an idea that will help expose corruption with the police departments.

01:46:40.000 However, I'll have to hire Ian as a tech consultant.

01:46:43.000 Let me know if you're interested.

01:46:45.000 That's a very, very, very big ask.

01:46:49.000 What's the, I don't know, what's the data?

01:46:50.000 Hit me on Twitter or on Mines.

01:46:52.000 I don't want to get involved in any legal disputes right now.

01:46:55.000 Aaron Brandt says, hope all is okay.

01:46:57.000 Keep on.

01:46:58.000 Everybody is fine.

01:46:59.000 After the incident in the morning, nobody got hurt.

01:47:02.000 Not even the bad guys.

01:47:03.000 And you know, I had a bunch of people messaging me or like tweeting at me being like, you shouldn't have missed.

01:47:07.000 And I was like, I wasn't there.

01:47:09.000 Um, but there is a very serious question about the, you know, the legal issues surrounding it, and I think you just don't mess around.

01:47:17.000 If someone breaks into your house, especially with all the threats we've been getting, no one here should be assuming that the person breaking in has good intentions, you know?

01:47:26.000 What's the protocol?

01:47:27.000 Home defense protocol, is it different in every state, every community?

01:47:29.000 Like, you warn them, you, like, retreat laws?

01:47:33.000 It is different everywhere.

01:47:35.000 Um, West Virginia has some of the best laws.

01:47:37.000 Uh, I know Texas has good laws, Florida does. 0.99

01:47:40.000 New Jersey has like some of the worst.

01:47:42.000 Yeah.

01:47:42.000 Surprisingly not the worst.

01:47:44.000 Uh, Maryland is better than New Jersey.

01:47:45.000 In most states, you know, with New Jersey what I was told by the cops is that If someone breaks in and you kill them, you will be arrested and charged with their murder, like, there's no question.

01:47:55.000 Like, unless you're a special person, and, you know.

01:47:58.000 But they were like, the Castle Doctrine idea is an affirmative defense, so after you're arrested and charged, you can plead to the court, I was defending myself.

01:48:08.000 Granted, it really depends on the cops, too.

01:48:10.000 It's the political climate.

01:48:11.000 I think with a place like New Jersey, a criminal could be breaking into your house, they could be a convicted rapist, and if you killed them, a bunch of activists would show up saying you didn't have to, and then you get arrested, and that's just how it's gonna go.

01:48:20.000 That's how it'll go down.

01:48:21.000 West Virginia, on the other hand, someone breaks into your house, they're just gonna be like, who in their right mind would break into a house in West Virginia?

01:48:29.000 Yeah.

01:48:29.000 I don't even want to step on people's property without them knowing I'm there.

01:48:32.000 Oh yeah, you just don't.

01:48:34.000 I don't.

01:48:35.000 So West Virginia's not the craziest place.

01:48:36.000 You can't just like kill a random person who's on your property.

01:48:39.000 But you have a lot more legal protections if they're on your property and threatening you in some way.

01:48:44.000 Whereas in Maryland, if they enter your property, you have no grounds whatsoever to defend yourself in any capacity until you retreat to your home.

01:48:51.000 And then once you're in your home, if they try to break in, then you... just trying to break in.

01:48:55.000 So if they try and jiggle the handle, uh-uh.

01:48:56.000 If they shoulder the door, now you're entitled to... I'm not a lawyer.

01:49:01.000 This is just what I was reading on the internet, which is probably not true, so I'll just make sure that's clear.

01:49:05.000 So this is another thing about the South African situation, is there's a duty to retreat laws in South Africa as well.

01:49:10.000 So if the person's in your house, but they're not making any threat on your life directly, you're still unable to stop them or impede them from doing what they're doing.

01:49:16.000 It's wild.

01:49:18.000 Personal family stories about that, but I won't say anything.

01:49:20.000 Rest in peace, Opa.

01:49:21.000 But doesn't that just result in everyone yelling, he's coming right for me!

01:49:25.000 And, you know, before they... Yeah, but it's why they hire private security in the first place.

01:49:31.000 I don't know if this is true or not, but I remember reading a story about how, like, in China, if you injure someone, you're on the hook for the rest of their lives.

01:49:38.000 So they'll just murder the person. 0.51

01:49:39.000 So, like, if someone is driving their car and they hit a person, they'll go, oh crap, go out and just murder him. 1.00

01:49:44.000 Yes, for sure. 0.99

01:49:45.000 Yeah.

01:49:45.000 Because there's a duty you can't go in.

01:49:47.000 If someone's injured or dies while they've been injured and you were part of their safety or helping them out, it would be like, oh, you were the person who caused their death.

01:49:56.000 Because there's no precedent in that.

01:49:57.000 The story is that you're driving your car and you hit somebody.

01:50:00.000 Now their legs are broken.

01:50:02.000 You are on the hook for life for their financial problems.

01:50:05.000 Even so, even if you were trying to help somebody that's been injured, and you go and try and help them and offer them assistance in any way, you're now tied into it, and because of that, they'll say, oh, you did it. 0.98

01:50:14.000 So nobody helps, and then someone will hit someone with a car and then go, well, better kill them. 0.99

01:50:18.000 Yes. 0.98

01:50:19.000 There was that horrible video that went viral like six months ago of the girl that got run over in China, and it went for like five minutes of just everyone walking by, driving by.

01:50:28.000 No one helps.

01:50:29.000 Oh! 0.60

01:50:29.000 There's compilation videos of that just happening over and over and over Because Chinese law is if they get involved and they touch the person, which then breaks their ankle a little bit more, they're not responsible. 0.60

01:50:43.000 Just anything.

01:50:43.000 Yeah, I didn't know that.

01:50:44.000 I actually watched that video hoping it was fake, only to find out it wasn't.

01:50:48.000 And I needed a reason, right?

01:50:51.000 Because we do when you're not like that.

01:50:53.000 And now you just explained that must be why.

01:50:56.000 It's written into the law.

01:50:58.000 Yeah, there's no good Samaritan law.

01:51:00.000 If you help out and they die and they're injured anyway, you're on the hook for life.

01:51:03.000 It's crazy.

01:51:05.000 Well, full sense, it says, FBI goes after people for justice that citizens don't.

01:51:09.000 The FBI likes when right-wingers are gone after, and they like when right-wingers retaliate, so they do nothing.

01:51:14.000 I'm sure some FBI guys are okay.

01:51:17.000 Yeah, I think so.

01:51:18.000 I think there's some.

01:51:19.000 But I think at the highest level, they're just, they're never gonna do it, you know, they're never gonna do their job.

01:51:25.000 It's just all nonsense.

01:51:26.000 There you go.

01:51:29.000 Yeah, your blood would curdle if you knew what was going on behind the scenes, what we can and can't talk about.

01:51:36.000 All right.

01:51:36.000 Sean says, I followed the Food Pyramid diet and cardio for years and couldn't lose weight.

01:51:41.000 I gave high-fat diet and one high-intensity workout a week a try and lost over a hundred pounds.

01:51:47.000 The experts are killing us. 0.99

01:51:48.000 Holy crap, man. 1.00

01:51:49.000 That Food Pyramid is one of the biggest lies ever. 1.00

01:51:52.000 It's an economic model.

01:51:54.000 It tells you to eat a big old bowl of pasta, like just eat a ton of carbs.

01:51:57.000 It's crazy.

01:51:57.000 Freaking nuts.

01:51:58.000 It is an economic model.

01:51:59.000 Yeah, it's an economic model.

01:52:00.000 It was meant to allow the U.S.

01:52:01.000 to produce more corn and more wheat in order to grow the economy at the time when it was first instated.

01:52:05.000 It has nothing to do with health, and I know that because I have an econ degree.

01:52:08.000 It has nothing to do with food or health whatsoever.

01:52:11.000 The craziest thing is I did this calculator.

01:52:14.000 It was like a how much protein should I eat calculator and it said that I should be eating 400 carbs per day and like 63 grams of protein and I was like that sounds insane.

01:52:23.000 I've been eating like 40 to 50 carbs.

01:52:25.000 No, not even that much.

01:52:26.000 I think today I probably had about 30 carbs.

01:52:29.000 And I feel like a million bucks.

01:52:30.000 Thirty grams.

01:52:31.000 Yeah, I was skating.

01:52:32.000 I posted a clip to Instagram of me just skating.

01:52:34.000 You look good.

01:52:35.000 That was a big improvement from two years ago.

01:52:37.000 I saw it and I realized I hadn't seen you skate in a while.

01:52:39.000 Uptake.

01:52:40.000 How did you get your carbs?

01:52:42.000 I had lobster biscuit.

01:52:43.000 It had cane sugar in it.

01:52:45.000 Not too happy about that because it definitely did not need it.

01:52:48.000 Lobster biscuit is creamy and delicious.

01:52:50.000 The tomatoes have sugar already.

01:52:51.000 And I looked at the back and I saw how many carbs were in it.

01:52:53.000 I was like, Whole Foods, man, what are you doing?

01:52:56.000 Do you use alternate?

01:52:57.000 50 carbs in this thing of lobster bisque.

01:52:58.000 Do you use different kinds of sugars?

01:53:00.000 Like, what kind of sugars do you guys use?

01:53:02.000 Yeah, I'll use natural sugars.

01:53:03.000 I mean, I like monk fruit sugar, but normally, as you say, I mean, food, tomatoes, right?

01:53:07.000 Foods have enough sugar in them. 0.79

01:53:09.000 And when it comes to seafood, lobster is naturally sweet.

01:53:11.000 Same with scallops.

01:53:12.000 That's why scallops taste like candy.

01:53:14.000 Best thing ever is angels on horseback, scallops wrapped in bacon.

01:53:17.000 That's why people love sweet and, you know, kind of smoky and salty and meaty.

01:53:22.000 I like buttering my steak.

01:53:24.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:53:25.000 I didn't know that was a thing until Luke did it, and I was like, what are you putting butter on?

01:53:28.000 And I was like, oh yeah.

01:53:28.000 And he's like, yeah.

01:53:29.000 And I asked the waiter, I was like, am I supposed to?

01:53:31.000 And he's like, yes.

01:53:32.000 And then I was like, oh my god, I have butter on my steak.

01:53:34.000 Well, compound butter is what, like, I try and give these simple ways to make your food that much better.

01:53:38.000 If you actually just take your butter, put it at room temperature, throw in Dijon mustard, sherry vinegar, fresh herbs, garlic, and some shallots, whatever your other favorite ingredients are, put it back in the fridge, throw that compound butter on all your food, throw it in your cereal, heck, why not?

01:53:51.000 Could we go to the kitchen after the show and do the after show in the kitchen?

01:53:56.000 Seriously, let's get one of the cameras and let's record something in the kitchen. 0.97

01:54:00.000 Let's cook something.

01:54:01.000 I'll just pull open the fridge and whatever is there, we'll create a meal out of it.

01:54:05.000 I got raw milk.

01:54:06.000 I got beef liver.

01:54:07.000 I got a whole bunch.

01:54:08.000 I got tallow.

01:54:10.000 I got actual butter.

01:54:11.000 We could make something happen.

01:54:12.000 You have beef liver, huh?

01:54:13.000 So do you have steroids?

01:54:14.000 No.

01:54:16.000 We've got to talk about him.

01:54:17.000 We've got a bunch of fresh eggs from chicken's butts.

01:54:19.000 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:54:20.000 With the poop still on them.

01:54:21.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:54:22.000 That's legit.

01:54:23.000 The poop is still there.

01:54:25.000 But yeah, in response to the food pyramid, you know, it's almost as if the government wants you fat and unhealthy.

01:54:30.000 One, whether or not we make cooking tonight, which I'm open to, we should do a collaboration in the future and do some The after show, grab the camera, go to the kitchen, open the fridge.

01:54:40.000 We got spares.

01:54:41.000 Let's go from there.

01:54:42.000 Well, you're expanding your culture content and food is love.

01:54:46.000 Everybody loves food.

01:54:47.000 Unification.

01:54:48.000 But since it's my idea, I get to eat it.

01:54:50.000 We got to see if, sure, we could, that'd be great actually, be very fun.

01:54:54.000 We can see if there's a camera available.

01:54:56.000 I guess people who are listening, put one in the chat if you want to see, if you're down to like make some food or something.

01:55:04.000 I don't want to put you on the spot.

01:55:05.000 Why not?

01:55:06.000 We're ready.

01:55:07.000 I said we.

01:55:08.000 I have a mouse in my pocket.

01:55:09.000 Whatever you got.

01:55:10.000 I have the skillet.

01:55:11.000 I have everything.

01:55:12.000 All right.

01:55:14.000 Albedam says, Ian, what's so great about useless graphene?

01:55:18.000 Oh, well, how much time you got?

01:55:20.000 It's 9.54.

01:55:21.000 I can give you about 30 seconds.

01:55:22.000 Did you see his shirt?

01:55:23.000 That's a great shirt.

01:55:25.000 It's 200 times stronger than steel by weight, so it's fantastic just structurally as a building material.

01:55:29.000 It's more conductive than copper.

01:55:31.000 It's deformable like paper, so you can make clothing out of it.

01:55:33.000 You can make wallpaper out of it.

01:55:35.000 It's pure carbon.

01:55:35.000 You can make space elevator tethers out of it.

01:55:37.000 I think that's the idea, is we're going to be making our tethers for our space elevators out of graphene.

01:55:40.000 If you build it in the right It's really the phenose structure, this hexagonal honeycomb structure.

01:55:45.000 So you have borophene, it's boron.

01:55:47.000 You don't need just carbon.

01:55:48.000 So there's this compressive force in this lattice that's pretty fantastic.

01:55:52.000 And I think if you layer a property, you'll be able to make wiring that can conduct and capacitate electricity.

01:55:59.000 Lightning, lightning electricity.

01:56:01.000 Do you think about a half an hour, 40 minutes is enough time to make something?

01:56:05.000 Yeah.

01:56:05.000 Yeah?

01:56:05.000 All right, all right.

01:56:07.000 So we'll just film it raw.

01:56:08.000 Yeah.

01:56:09.000 Because otherwise we don't have time to edit and then we'll just put the whole thing up.

01:56:11.000 We'll see if someone's available to film and just we'll go down film and we'll just do like a raw behind-the-scenes food.

01:56:18.000 Yeah, that'd be cool.

01:56:20.000 The only thing I ate today, I had two protein bars and a bowl of lobster bisque.

01:56:26.000 I just had coffee.

01:56:26.000 Yeah, I had coffee.

01:56:28.000 And I'm sitting there thinking, man, I probably need to eat food.

01:56:31.000 Or I had an apple.

01:56:32.000 I had an apple.

01:56:33.000 Chicken liver?

01:56:35.000 Beef with peppers.

01:56:37.000 Ooh, sounds amazing.

01:56:38.000 And then fruit in the morning.

01:56:39.000 Hey, Andrew, do you like red pepper or green pepper better?

01:56:42.000 Green pepper for, like, cheesy, fatty things, just because it's a little bit more vegetal, and then red pepper for raw or, you know, salad-type dishes.

01:56:49.000 I love those peppers that Kara makes.

01:56:53.000 The bacon-wrapped cream cheese jalapenos.

01:56:56.000 Stuffed.

01:56:56.000 I just, like, ate, like, 15 of them when she made them last time.

01:56:59.000 It's a great use of pepper, man.

01:57:00.000 Stuff it with some cheese and wrap it.

01:57:02.000 Oh, man.

01:57:02.000 Give it a grill.

01:57:03.000 Tastes so good.

01:57:05.000 Man, now I'm getting hungry.

01:57:06.000 What's going on?

01:57:07.000 My plan has worked.

01:57:09.000 Rolling Crest says, I love Gourmelt's. 0.99

01:57:12.000 I mean, even the name is making me hungry.

01:57:13.000 I just want to go eat there.

01:57:16.000 Go to Fredericksburg, Virginia and eat at Gourmelt's.

01:57:19.000 Do it!

01:57:20.000 All right, Seth Weathers says, eat steak, lift weights, be uncensorable, screw the government.

01:57:25.000 Seth Weathers!

01:57:27.000 All right.

01:57:27.000 Good advice.

01:57:28.000 That's very good advice.

01:57:30.000 What's, uh, I forget your website, Seth.

01:57:32.000 Brandon Wrap?

01:57:33.000 Is that what it was?

01:57:33.000 Brandon Wrapping or something?

01:57:34.000 You want to check that out real quick?

01:57:35.000 Is it Brandon Wrap?

01:57:36.000 Yeah, Seth Weathers.

01:57:37.000 Brandon Wrapping.

01:57:37.000 It's the guy who sells, like, the different, like, Christmas wrapping.

01:57:40.000 Yeah, the Let's Go Brandon Wrapping paper, which is, like, the best thing to get a family member.

01:57:44.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:57:45.000 I was at the casino this weekend and there was a guy named Brandon and the old guys next to me were like, let's go Brandon!

01:57:51.000 And then they looked at each other and started laughing.

01:57:53.000 And then I just started laughing like, yeah, that's right.

01:57:55.000 Is this the that's a wrap?

01:57:56.000 Nah, I'm trying to find it on the... The let's go Brandon wrapping paper?

01:57:58.000 Yeah, on the fly.

01:57:59.000 Freedom... Maheel.

01:58:02.000 What is it?

01:58:03.000 Go for it, I'll let you know.

01:58:04.000 Maheel says, ah Mercury, sweetest of the transition metals.

01:58:08.000 That's right, that's right.

01:58:11.000 David Todd says, when I was a teen working at OfficeMax, we sold lifetime warranty tables.

01:58:16.000 Lifetime warranty was the brand name, and it had a one-month warranty.

01:58:19.000 Wow!

01:58:20.000 That is brilliant.

01:58:23.000 There's companies called, like, Homemade Ice Cream, you know, Handcrafted, and it's just like, it's brand. 0.88

01:58:30.000 It's ridiculous. 1.00

01:58:30.000 That's such crap. 1.00

01:58:32.000 I mean, that is just, gosh, the law should protect people from misleading their targeted Well, I don't know. 0.99

01:58:39.000 What do you think?

01:58:39.000 Should people be allowed to sell real organic fruit and not tell you that it's actually glyphosate or whatever?

01:58:46.000 Was it glyphosate?

01:58:48.000 Glyphosate.

01:58:48.000 But it's like, hey, our brand name is called Real Organic and No Glyphosate Fruit.

01:58:53.000 Should they be allowed to do that?

01:58:54.000 Um, I mean, obviously the market would correct itself.

01:58:58.000 How would it correct for it?

01:58:59.000 And people would do the test, and people would see it, and I don't know.

01:59:03.000 It's a complex question.

01:59:04.000 There's many different variables.

01:59:05.000 I, automatically, I think that the problem would solve itself, and the scam would be exposed, like most scams usually are.

01:59:12.000 Perhaps.

01:59:12.000 I don't think that issue means definitively there should be a government regulation on it.

01:59:17.000 I'm just saying, the average person... Look, I'll tell you a story.

01:59:20.000 I went to a mall, and they were doing that... You ever see those balance bracelets?

01:59:24.000 Oh yeah.

01:59:25.000 It's a con.

01:59:26.000 And I'm surprised they're allowed to sell these things.

01:59:29.000 They sell you these bracelets and they tell you it improves your core strength, it's got a reverse ion charge, blah blah blah, and then they use a center of gravity illusion to manipulate you into thinking it works.

01:59:40.000 What they do is, they have you stand with your feet together and put your arms out, and they'll put their hand on your arm and pull slightly down to the right, away from your center of gravity.

01:59:50.000 You'll fall over instantly.

01:59:52.000 Then, they'll say, now put on the power band.

01:59:55.000 And when you do, they'll push into your center of gravity, and they can push down as hard as they can, as long as they go slightly left, and you won't fall.

02:00:03.000 And they say, wow, look at this!

02:00:04.000 Take it off, and I'll show you again.

02:00:05.000 And then they knock you over.

02:00:06.000 It's a trick.

02:00:07.000 And I'm like, how are they allowed to do this?

02:00:09.000 The FTC, you know what, to Luke's point, incompetent.

02:00:13.000 They would, like, go after these companies, fine them, they'd shut down, reopen, do the exact same thing, make millions of dollars.

02:00:18.000 So, you know, I guess they gave a good college try, but they were completely ineffective at stopping this stuff.

02:00:23.000 Wait until you find out about Big Pharma.

02:00:25.000 Yes!

02:00:26.000 And what they're doing.

02:00:27.000 I spent $25 for a bronze engraving of Abraham Lincoln once.

02:00:31.000 They sent me a penny.

02:00:32.000 Wow!

02:00:33.000 Is that true, though?

02:00:35.000 No.

02:00:36.000 That's a good joke, though.

02:02:15.000 See you there.

02:02:16.000 You know, I'm just going to, I'm just going to go for it here.

02:02:18.000 Uh, the incident this morning, I now believe more so was politically targeted.

02:02:24.000 Uh, I, I, I didn't see this message until now, but around nine o'clock we were swatted and the cops are here.

02:02:31.000 So yeah.

02:02:32.000 Well, actually, they may have been here earlier.

02:02:35.000 So I'm just checking my messages now, and there you go.

02:02:38.000 Security dealt with it.

02:02:40.000 So we went a period where we didn't report any of this stuff was happening, because people kept telling us, if you keep saying it, it'll keep happening.

02:02:46.000 And then it kept happening anyway!

02:02:48.000 So I'm like, no, maybe now we just need to let people know, like, what's happening is actually very, very serious, and it's escalating.

02:02:55.000 That's the reality of what's been going on.

02:02:56.000 All you cops out there that are listening, thanks for being on the ball with this one.

02:02:59.000 Thanks for coming.

02:02:59.000 If you guys were here earlier tonight, doing your job, appreciate it.

02:03:03.000 Yep.

02:03:03.000 All right, well, I'm sure everything's fine.

02:03:07.000 That's why we have armed security.

02:03:08.000 But we'll go cook some food.

02:03:09.000 So thanks for hanging out, and we will see you all at TimCast.com for whatever food we end up eating.

02:03:14.000 Yeah, right on.
