Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Facebook's Fake Oversight Board Says BAN TRUMP, Upholds Censorship w-Allum Bokhari

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:32.000 Facebook's fake oversight board whatever that is supposed to be a group

00:00:46.000 of a bunch of leftists who are supposedly giving Facebook oversight

00:00:50.000 have done not that and said Donald Trump should stay banned but you know how

00:00:54.000 about you decide Mark Zuckerberg because it's a big fat waste of time

00:00:58.000 And we knew that was going to be the case.

00:00:59.000 They'd give us nothing definitive.

00:01:00.000 Trump is banned.

00:01:01.000 The sitting president was banned.

00:01:02.000 He can't come back.

00:01:03.000 He's probably—he literally is the most prominent candidate for 2024, assuming he allows his running.

00:01:10.000 Yet still, he will be banned because, you know, we live in an oligopoly.

00:01:13.000 And the Republicans just come out and go, oh geez, oh man, oh, I can't believe this is happening.

00:01:17.000 I'm so surprised.

00:01:18.000 You know, we're going to fight tooth and nail.

00:01:20.000 Because they didn't when they could.

00:01:22.000 They're certainly not going to do it now.

00:01:23.000 But now it's really easy because they can pretend like they can or they're going to, even though they can't because they have no power in government right now.

00:01:29.000 So it seems like a big fat waste of time.

00:01:31.000 But interestingly, Black Lives Matter has a new list of demands, one of which is that Trump must be banned.

00:01:39.000 I have no idea what that has to do with saving lives.

00:01:43.000 I guess.

00:01:44.000 Maybe.

00:01:45.000 Black Lives Matter is a political organization that is helping the Democrats.

00:01:48.000 So we'll talk all about that, I suppose.

00:01:50.000 But we've got probably one of the foremost experts on big tech censorship.

00:01:54.000 Alan Bakari is joining us.

00:01:55.000 How's it going, man?

00:01:55.000 You want to introduce yourself?

00:01:56.000 How's it going?

00:01:57.000 I'm Alan Bakari.

00:01:58.000 I'm the senior tech correspondent for Breitbart News.

00:02:01.000 I've been covering tech since 2015 when no one could imagine that a president might be censored on social media, when the left loved technology because Facebook allegedly elected Barack Obama, and I also wrote the book, Deleted Big Tech's Battle to Erase the Trump Movement and Steal the Election.

00:02:19.000 You can follow me on Twitter at Libertarian Blue.

00:02:22.000 That's an old Twitter handle which I can't change, I'm not really libertarian.

00:02:26.000 There you go.

00:02:27.000 Ian's chillin'.

00:02:27.000 You used to be a libertarian?

00:02:29.000 2015, everyone was a libertarian, you know.

00:02:30.000 The Ron Paul age before Donald Trump.

00:02:33.000 The only guy who was worth supporting was Ron Paul.

00:02:36.000 I still think that's true.

00:02:37.000 Yeah, that's still true.

00:02:39.000 What's up everybody?

00:02:40.000 iancrossland.net.

00:02:40.000 Ian Crossland in the house.

00:02:42.000 Thanks for coming.

00:02:43.000 Yeah, and I'm in the corner as well, pushing buttons for this cool show.

00:02:46.000 We got a bunch of crazy stuff because we were talking about, just before the show, you mentioned the Florida bill on anti-censorship was actually garbage.

00:02:53.000 I wouldn't go as far as saying it was garbage, but it could have gone a lot further than it did. 0.80

00:02:58.000 So we'll get into all that. 0.96

00:02:58.000 Right on. 0.96

00:02:59.000 There's a lot to talk about.

00:03:00.000 Before we get started, head over to TimCast.com.

00:03:10.000 We were talking with Kimberly Klesik the other day.

00:03:12.000 She said Black Lives Matter was a communist organization, mostly a response to what many Chinese donors were saying.

00:03:19.000 They were giving money to the Proud Boys because they fear that Black Lives Matter is trying to stage a communist revolution in the United States.

00:03:24.000 And so we talked to Kimberly Klesik about it, and she spoke a lot about how the democratic policies have been Just a disaster for black families.

00:03:31.000 So go to TimCast.com.

00:03:32.000 Sign up if you want to see segments like that.

00:03:34.000 Let's talk about Gina Carano.

00:03:36.000 We got Drew Hernandez.

00:03:36.000 We got Jack Murphy.

00:03:37.000 A lot of really great conversations.

00:03:47.000 Let's get into that first story.

00:03:49.000 We got CNN.

00:03:51.000 Good old trusty CNN.

00:03:53.000 Facebook tried to punt the Trump decision that backfired.

00:03:56.000 It's an interesting take.

00:03:58.000 They say the Facebook Oversight Board was designed to make some of Facebook's most difficult decisions for the company.

00:04:03.000 But on Wednesday, the board put one of the biggest dilemmas facing the platform back on Facebook and company CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

00:04:10.000 The board said Facebook was right to suspend Trump in the immediate aftermath of the insurrection.

00:04:16.000 But Facebook couldn't just make the suspension indefinite with no actual rule on its book.

00:04:21.000 So basically, everybody was waiting for this huge moment.

00:04:25.000 Was this supposedly independent body going to say Donald Trump should be allowed back on?

00:04:30.000 Instead, they were like, well, I mean... Mark, you decide.

00:04:34.000 So there's no real point to having them.

00:04:36.000 We knew this was going to be the case.

00:04:38.000 We know that... Let me just slow down.

00:04:41.000 Is anyone really surprised?

00:04:43.000 I'm surprised people are like, well, this is crazy.

00:04:46.000 A sitting president was banned.

00:04:47.000 Yeah, he was banned four months ago.

00:04:48.000 What are you talking about?

00:04:49.000 How is this news?

00:04:50.000 Yeah, I mean, did anyone really expect this Facebook oversight board, staffed entirely by anti-Trump figures, people who compared Trump to Hitler in one case, was ever going to come to any other conclusion?

00:05:01.000 Of course they were going to uphold the ban.

00:05:03.000 And what they've done is they've essentially passed the buck back to Facebook, saying, you know, well, in six months you have to make a final decision.

00:05:08.000 It's in your court now.

00:05:09.000 Facebook already made their final decision.

00:05:12.000 The oversight board was supposed to be this special thing, but I'm... I just love how stupid so many people are when they were like... First of all, the journalists who were like, oh no! 0.99

00:05:23.000 Oh, what if they overturned Trump's ban? 1.00

00:05:25.000 Oh, geez! 0.99

00:05:26.000 But then you have these GOP guys, these congressmen and women who were like, I can't believe they made this decision!

00:05:33.000 We gotta break up these companies!

00:05:35.000 It's all meaningless.

00:05:37.000 It's a big, meaningless waste of our time.

00:05:38.000 Yeah, what's the GOP gonna do at the national level?

00:05:40.000 They don't hold power.

00:05:41.000 When they did hold power, they didn't do much about it.

00:05:44.000 I will say the Trump administration was on the verge of doing something about it in the final year, but the final year was too late.

00:05:50.000 They should have acted 2017-2018 when people started getting banned from these platforms.

00:05:56.000 The only hope on a political level now is at the state level.

00:06:00.000 Right.

00:06:01.000 Is it better than nothing?

00:06:01.000 Florida has a could-be-worse bill I guess. Is it better than nothing? It's better than

00:06:07.000 nothing. It does impose some transparency requirements on the tech companies which

00:06:10.000 unlike the rest of the bill can actually be enforced. But the Texas bill actually

00:06:14.000 is very interesting and Senate Bill 12 in Texas that's worth taking a look at.

00:06:18.000 What is that going to do? So unlike the Florida bill, the Texas bill has a

00:06:22.000 general provision against viewpoint-based censorship that doesn't mention the word

00:06:27.000 common carrier or public accommodation which are the two laws you can use to

00:06:30.000 regulate businesses and you know restrict who they can and cannot deny

00:06:33.000 service to. But it functions in much the same way.

00:06:37.000 And the reason why that's important is because Unless there are only like a few legal routes, and you know, I'll preface it by saying I'm not a lawyer, but there's only a few legal routes you can go to tell a business who they can and cannot deny service to, or whose speech they can and cannot host, because otherwise I'll just say, well, we're businesses.

00:06:56.000 Businesses are considered persons by US law, therefore we have First Amendment rights to host the viewpoint we want and to censor the viewpoints we want.

00:07:05.000 But there are certain types of businesses that can't do that.

00:07:08.000 Common carriers have to provide access to everyone on a reasonable, non-discriminatory basis.

00:07:14.000 Public accommodations have to do the same under civil rights law. 0.53

00:07:16.000 There are also state laws, like California's UNRRA law, which is very wide-ranging and has actually been used in viewpoint discrimination cases successfully to say, no, businesses can't exclude people.

00:07:27.000 Even small businesses can't exclude people.

00:07:28.000 The UNRRA law, is that what you said?

00:07:29.000 The UNRRA law.

00:07:29.000 That's a California law.

00:07:30.000 Right, right, right.

00:07:31.000 I remember talking about that, but can you break it down for us?

00:07:34.000 So it's like a wider ranging version of like the civil rights law.

00:07:37.000 You can't discriminate based on like a wide range of categories and courts in California have interpreted that to extend to viewpoint.

00:07:44.000 So businesses that try to exclude like political extremists from their property have been shot down in the courts.

00:07:53.000 The courts have said that you can't do that.

00:07:55.000 Under the California Constitution as well, there was a very famous case in the 1980s, and this isn't Unruh, this is their Constitution, but there was a famous case in the 80s called Pruneyard v. Robbins, and that was a shopping mall that was taken to court because it didn't allow political activism on their property.

00:08:13.000 And the court said, well, under California law, under the California Constitution, shopping malls have to allow political activism on their property.

00:08:20.000 So if California can do all those things, there's no reason why Texas can't do it, Florida can't do it, any red state can't do it to the tech companies.

00:08:26.000 Can't you just sue based on California law, then, to get your account reinstated, or what?

00:08:30.000 Well, this is the thing.

00:08:31.000 You know, this has been tried before.

00:08:33.000 The problem that all these state laws will run into is... Well, first of all, that didn't apply to tech companies.

00:08:39.000 You'd have to write it and specifically apply to tech companies.

00:08:42.000 The other problem, of course, is Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which is the law that says tech companies can censor a wide range of content, that they're not liable for user speech, and that only applies to tech companies.

00:08:54.000 It doesn't apply to shopping malls. 0.98

00:08:57.000 Man, talk about one of the stupidest things. 0.98

00:09:00.000 You know, I can't blame the government, the publishers at the time necessarily, because they had no idea what they were dealing with. 1.00

00:09:08.000 And to a certain degree, it made sense.

00:09:10.000 But a lot of people don't realize, I hear this all the time when people are like, they're a publisher now, they're a publisher.

00:09:14.000 It's like, no, that's not what the law means, not how it works.

00:09:18.000 Like the New York Times, you can't sue them for the comments.

00:09:21.000 But there are a bunch of really important points to be made, like when Twitter publishes those little blurbs and news things, yeah, that is Twitter speech.

00:09:30.000 That's Twitter making a statement.

00:09:32.000 Everyone's a publisher, if you have a website, even Twitter.

00:09:35.000 But it's actionable when Twitter says something, not when one of their users says something.

00:09:42.000 Yeah, well, what blows my mind, I've said this before, is that Wikipedia enjoys the protection of Section 230.

00:09:47.000 How though?

00:09:48.000 That makes no sense to me.

00:09:51.000 Wikipedia says it's an interactive computer service, just like Facebook and Twitter.

00:09:54.000 And, you know, it provides a forum for all these anonymous editors to make these articles.

00:09:57.000 But the function of Wikipedia is clearly a traditional publisher.

00:10:00.000 It brands itself as an encyclopedia.

00:10:02.000 And it says on every article, from Wikipedia, not from, you know, Joe Bob Jr.

00:10:06.000 Precisely.

00:10:07.000 And, you know, if the Encyclopedia Britannica published, you know, in its paper encyclopedia, far less influential than Wikipedia these days, if they defamed someone, they'd be held liable for that.

00:10:15.000 But Wikipedia defames people all the time.

00:10:17.000 It's the entire purpose of some of these articles about conservative figures.

00:10:21.000 And, yep, conservatives can't sue them over that.

00:10:23.000 Why can't you assume has anyone tried?

00:10:25.000 People have tried, yes, in various jurisdictions, but... Have they ever made that argument that Wikipedia is not?

00:10:32.000 Look, we've talked about this before.

00:10:34.000 We had Larry Sanger on, who was one of the co-founders, and we talked about how on Twitter it says, you know, at Libertarian Blue, it's you, it's your account, your words.

00:10:42.000 Wikipedia says, from Wikipedia.

00:10:45.000 If you want to see what the users posted, you've got to go to the, what's it called?

00:10:51.000 You've got to view the history of the article.

00:10:51.000 The history.

00:10:53.000 And then you can see post made by this person.

00:10:57.000 The article itself is not, is an article published by Wikipedia, period.

00:11:02.000 Uh, yeah, but somehow Section 230 protects it, and it just shows how broken the law is, that it's protecting one of the most powerful publishers out there, the site that's at the top of nearly every Google search, that can defame almost anyone.

00:11:14.000 Maybe the issue is, people haven't sued properly.

00:11:17.000 And the argument needs to be, show the judge a picture of the article where it says, from Wikipedia, and say, so long as Wikipedia purports that the words on this page that show no reference to any users, or any individuals, It says all of this is from Wikipedia, and Wikipedia has asserted it has published this of its own volition.

00:11:36.000 I mean, I would like to see people try.

00:11:38.000 I'm not a lawyer, but I assume, like, the amount of people that Wikipedia has defamed, I'm amazed that if there was a possibility, even the slightest possibility you could win a defamation case against them, I'm sure someone would have tried it by now.

00:11:50.000 But I could be wrong.

00:11:51.000 I hope to be proven wrong on that point.

00:11:52.000 I guess the issue is damages.

00:11:54.000 Yeah.

00:11:55.000 Proving damages is always particularly hard.

00:11:58.000 But the main issue is that you need millions of dollars to do it.

00:12:01.000 I've heard so many stories from prominent conservatives where they've been defamed a million and one ways.

00:12:07.000 And it's like, well, I don't have any money, so I can't sue them.

00:12:10.000 That's it.

00:12:11.000 Massive corporations can get away with it.

00:12:12.000 Individuals can't really do much about it.

00:12:14.000 That's why social media was so powerful, because it finally gave the individuals a chance to speak up and push back.

00:12:19.000 Well, now that's being threatened.

00:12:20.000 If you got the wrong opinions, you're gone.

00:12:23.000 If the momentum of the alternative media and independent journalism that existed in 2015 and 2016 had been allowed to continue, if we didn't have the rise of censorship, it would have totally eclipsed CNN and the New York Times and Washington Post.

00:12:35.000 That's why they had to kill it.

00:12:37.000 Kill what? 0.99

00:12:38.000 Kill, you know, online freedom, freedom of speech. 0.83

00:12:42.000 I think people need to realize.

00:12:43.000 I think people need to stop and take a look at some web archives.

00:12:48.000 Look at what the internet was 15 years ago compared to what it is now.

00:12:52.000 Look at YouTube 10 years ago compared to what it is now.

00:12:55.000 And you're going to go, wow.

00:12:57.000 I did not realize how much it changed before Google bought YouTube.

00:13:01.000 No, no, no, no.

00:13:02.000 I mean, yes, but I'm just saying anything, but it was pretty close.

00:13:06.000 I'm just saying the internet in general has become Disney.

00:13:13.000 Like back in the day, the internet was nuts.

00:13:13.000 You know what I mean?

00:13:16.000 It was crazy.

00:13:18.000 The iron law of oligarchy eventually, eventually ruling elites inevitably emerged from any, uh, any system.

00:13:25.000 Yeah, well, the issue I suppose is... It's a tendency within any system, I suppose, for, uh...

00:13:34.000 Organization, right?

00:13:35.000 So, you look at movies.

00:13:37.000 We used to make crazy movies, a lot of them would flop, some would succeed, and you ended up with weird things like Groundhog Day.

00:13:42.000 Amazing movie.

00:13:43.000 I don't think it made blockbuster money.

00:13:45.000 What happens is over time, people start realizing, you know, it makes money, giant robots blowing up buildings and, you know, cars exploding.

00:13:52.000 So you get a bunch of Transformers movies with very little story, if any, because it transcends culture.

00:13:58.000 So, Big Explosions can be sold all over the world, but American culture with, you know, English speakers is harder to sell in foreign countries, you gotta do a bunch of work, so I just make a bunch of explosions, a little dialogue, and then what ends up happening is we get all movies that are just derivative remakes, bland, yeah, lowest common denominator stuff. 0.77

00:14:17.000 The 5th, 6th, 7th Spider-Man remake, okay, enough already.

00:14:21.000 And now we're at the same place, the same way on the internet.

00:14:21.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:14:24.000 You know, for a long time, people just made whatever they want on the internet.

00:14:27.000 It was a really weird place where people did weird things.

00:14:30.000 And then big companies started to realize what really made money.

00:14:32.000 They started to invest in only certain things.

00:14:35.000 Then big companies didn't like the idea of French Weirdos, started banning them. 0.82

00:14:39.000 And now, look at the kind of shows that are available to you on YouTube.

00:14:44.000 Man, you really need to think about this.

00:14:46.000 Only a few years ago, you could go on YouTube and search for the most ridiculous thing. 0.58

00:14:51.000 Like, you know, DMT, for instance.

00:14:53.000 Now you do, and it's all like CNN, CBS, NBC.

00:14:56.000 It's all just big mainstream corporations.

00:14:58.000 It's like turning on the TV.

00:14:59.000 Yeah, we leaked the YouTube blacklist on this at Breitbart back in 2018.

00:15:04.000 They have a literal list at YouTube that they call the controversial query blacklist.

00:15:09.000 And it's just a bunch of political terms, and whenever they add a term to that blacklist, has thousands of entries, by the way, whenever they add a term, it just reorders the search results, so that's just CNN, BBC, and, you know, whatever, everything else you'd expect.

00:15:20.000 I love, I was searching for Project Veritas recently, because, you know, they put out that music video.

00:15:26.000 Yeah.

00:15:26.000 Oh, yeah.

00:15:26.000 Oligarchy.

00:15:27.000 So I'm looking up Project Veritas, and I type in, you know, project, and I can see all the suggested posts, like YouTube's like, you know, it gives you suggestions as to what it thinks you're trying to type.

00:15:37.000 And then as soon as I typed in V-E-R, it just disappeared. 0.73

00:15:41.000 All the suggestions were gone.

00:15:42.000 And then it's like, ah, they figured out where I'm going and they don't like it.

00:15:46.000 They're not going to autofill it for me. 0.65

00:15:47.000 How ridiculous is that?

00:15:49.000 Hoping that I just search for Project VRR and then get some random channel.

00:15:53.000 Maybe it's a good idea to create a channel called Project Vary.

00:15:56.000 For sure.

00:15:56.000 And then just like, you know, talk about Project Veritas and that's it.

00:16:00.000 Then YouTube will autofill Project Vary.

00:16:03.000 Project Verit.

00:16:04.000 Project Verit.

00:16:06.000 As.

00:16:06.000 Verita.

00:16:07.000 Project Verit.

00:16:08.000 Get it.

00:16:08.000 As.

00:16:10.000 No, no, no, just Project Verit.

00:16:11.000 So that when people are searching for it, it autofills and then people will click your channel instead.

00:16:17.000 Verituse with a U. 0.59

00:16:18.000 Well, no, it wouldn't.

00:16:19.000 I guess I suppose it would autofill that.

00:16:21.000 In 2008, I was really politically active on YouTube, just like screaming at the Internet that we have the control now.

00:16:28.000 Now that we have Internet video, the President of the United States, President of Russia can do a video chat and everyone can watch.

00:16:33.000 You don't need secret service.

00:16:34.000 We're in a new paradigm.

00:16:35.000 And I was talking and people were like lighting up believing it.

00:16:38.000 And so CNN wanted to get in on it.

00:16:40.000 So they funded the CNN YouTube debates.

00:16:43.000 And for the first time in history, they took YouTubers questions for the candidates.

00:16:47.000 And it was the most I asked like about the Federal Reserve.

00:16:49.000 I want to know why the bank establishment and co-opted our government.

00:16:52.000 They had the most cookie cutter stuff, but they were like, look how we're part of... This is CNN.

00:16:52.000 No, no, no.

00:16:57.000 Look how we're part of this new uprising, this new... And then it took about two or three years.

00:17:01.000 By 2011, they'd completely co-opted the political conversation.

00:17:05.000 Google bought it.

00:17:06.000 Yeah, they don't do anything like that anymore.

00:17:08.000 No, no, and then they don't even do it anymore.

00:17:10.000 Now they just ban the comments on the White House videos, and now YouTube's eliminating thumbs down for Joe Biden because nobody likes the guy.

00:17:18.000 Oh yeah, they love internet freedom and social media when it was helping elect Obama and helping do coups in the Middle East, but as soon as 2016 comes along and you get Brexit and Trump, everything changes.

00:17:29.000 You go back to 2012, you will see articles in the wake of the Obama re-election like Facebook and the power of friendship and, you know, its impact on the 2012 election.

00:17:38.000 So they loved it for a while.

00:17:40.000 I think shows like this, and I mentioned this before, it functions as a pressure release valve for a lot of people who are frustrated.

00:17:47.000 You know, right now there's a lot of people who are listening, hearing us talk about censorship, and it's making them feel good that their concerns are being addressed.

00:17:53.000 But YouTube and Facebook and Twitter knows that this conversation likely won't result in anything meaningful. 0.95

00:17:58.000 The Republicans right now, in response to the Trump announcement, are saying stupid things like, it's time to break up these big tech monopolies! 0.98

00:18:06.000 And it's like, what? 0.99

00:18:07.000 Not with 20th Century.

00:18:08.000 What are you talking about?

00:18:09.000 Facebook... The reason Facebook works is because everyone uses it.

00:18:13.000 You can't break Facebook into 10 different Facebooks.

00:18:15.000 Then what?

00:18:16.000 All of a sudden Ian and I aren't on the same network anymore?

00:18:18.000 And so how does it work?

00:18:20.000 I suppose if they break them up and force them to go open source and like decentralize, but that would destroy the company outright.

00:18:25.000 So it's not something that can be done.

00:18:26.000 What needs to happen is regulation on the platform that allows speech.

00:18:29.000 However, what's happening is there are some people that YouTube allows.

00:18:34.000 And why is it that I see every day a YouTube channel get nuked for the stupidest reason or no reason at all?

00:18:40.000 But we're allowed to keep doing the show. 0.94

00:18:42.000 Like I said, I think it's a pressure release valve.

00:18:42.000 Why?

00:18:44.000 If they got rid of every single, you know, channel, then you'd end up with a whole bunch of people losing it outright, feeling like they've been just booted out.

00:18:52.000 They have nothing left and they go nuts.

00:18:54.000 But they need good old, you know, milquetoast, Timcast, IRL, so that people are like tuning in and hearing this and going, yeah, yeah, it's good.

00:19:00.000 It's good to get the truth.

00:19:01.000 And it is.

00:19:02.000 But they also know that it's just enough to keep people calm.

00:19:08.000 Correct.

00:19:09.000 And, you know, if you step out of line even a little bit, they'll just ban you.

00:19:13.000 So, you know, there are some things everyone knows they can't say.

00:19:16.000 They banned DeSantis.

00:19:17.000 YouTube banned DeSantis because he held a COVID-19 roundtable with some of the signs of the Great Barrington Declaration.

00:19:23.000 They outright banned him?

00:19:24.000 I think it was a temporary suspension, I believe.

00:19:26.000 But, you know, there's a governor of Britain who will probably run for president in 2024.

00:19:31.000 Yeah, well, look, you know, I said on Twitter I think Trump shouldn't run because he's too hot.

00:19:37.000 As soon as Trump pops his head up, every single uninitiated liberal is going to be screaming and banging their head on the wall just freaking out.

00:19:45.000 And if you have someone like DeSantis, they'll still smear him.

00:19:48.000 They'll try.

00:19:49.000 But DeSantis will not invoke the same kind of anger that people had when it was Trump.

00:19:53.000 However, I'll just say.

00:19:56.000 I don't think a Republican can win.

00:19:57.000 You know, a lot of people are like, maybe the Republicans can win in 2022.

00:19:59.000 And even I was saying it just the other day because libs have gone to sleep.

00:20:03.000 I'm not confident because what's going to happen is a conservative from 10 years ago will never win an election for a few reasons.

00:20:10.000 One, the modern Republican party is more about Trump and populism than it was about establishment conservatism.

00:20:17.000 But more importantly, If you even say half the things that the Democrats said, they'll call you far right and they'll suspend you or shadow ban you.

00:20:25.000 So what's going to happen is a Republican might win in 2024, but this Republican is going to be basically Bernie Sanders.

00:20:31.000 And then the Democrats going to be, you know, further left, the full-blown communists, maybe not by 2024, but certainly in the next, you know, 15 or 20 years.

00:20:39.000 When all of our opinions are being filtered through the far left lens of Silicon Valley, Conservatives get banned and the remaining conservatives are the milquetoast centrist conservatives.

00:20:50.000 And then 10 years after that, those people are fringe far right war band and the conservatives are going to be socialist otherkin or something.

00:21:00.000 I mean, when we're talking about, you know, most people say, you know, the 2020 election was stolen, but in a sense it was, but it was done in the open by Silicon Valley censorship, which they didn't even try to hide the censorship.

00:21:13.000 I mean, we, Breitbart News, found out that Google was censoring us through Google's own analytics tools.

00:21:18.000 So they didn't care that we knew.

00:21:19.000 How did that happen?

00:21:20.000 What did they say?

00:21:21.000 So they introduced a major algorithm change around six months before the election, and right after that algorithm change, impressions and clicks on... no, visibility on Google search for Breitbart News links, it went straight off a cliff, like went right down.

00:21:37.000 So it's clearly something artificial.

00:21:39.000 Happened to a bunch of other conservative sites as well, and that remained the case for right up until the election.

00:21:43.000 Plus, you could search for the exact string of Breitbart News headlines in Google, and the link wouldn't come up.

00:21:50.000 Same thing was happening to my other channels as well.

00:21:50.000 Right.

00:21:52.000 And it wasn't until I talked about it on this show that one day people were like, oh no, your channels are back.

00:21:57.000 You would take the exact title of one of my videos and put it in Google and it wouldn't come up.

00:22:01.000 So something happened around, I think it was like May of 2018.

00:22:05.000 Where is that?

00:22:06.000 Was that when you noticed the algorithm shift?

00:22:07.000 It was a little bit later than that.

00:22:08.000 I would say it was May of 2020.

00:22:11.000 2020?

00:22:11.000 Yeah.

00:22:12.000 So around six months before the election.

00:22:13.000 In May of 2018, there was tons of people were talking about it.

00:22:18.000 You could look in your analytics and check your recommendations and you'd see just one day went boom to like one went from like 10% to like 1%.

00:22:26.000 And then people weren't getting any suggestions anymore for any political content that was deemed to be, you know, just anti-democrat, anti-woke. 0.99

00:22:36.000 And it's remarkable because back then I said Republicans were too stupid to deal with it. 1.00

00:22:40.000 That's still true today. 1.00

00:22:42.000 Three years later, they are still not smart enough to save their own careers.

00:22:47.000 And what's going to happen is by the time any modern, young, center-right, conservative type gets into office, then the system will be too late.

00:22:56.000 And you're not going to be able to get elected because the Republicans at that point are going to be socialists.

00:23:00.000 Well, I think I'm a little bit more optimistic because I think the internet freedom that existed before 2016, that red-pilled a lot of people.

00:23:12.000 And, you know, those people have not forgotten.

00:23:13.000 They're still out there.

00:23:14.000 Millions of people.

00:23:16.000 And I think what people need to do is focus less on national elections and more on activism at the local level, at the precinct level.

00:23:24.000 Influencing their local Republican Party or their local Democrat Party.

00:23:27.000 Because that's where you can start change, you know, from the bottom up.

00:23:30.000 It's much less competitive there.

00:23:31.000 You don't need thousands of votes.

00:23:32.000 You need hundreds or dozens.

00:23:33.000 And just at the state level get some... At the precinct level.

00:23:37.000 You go from the precinct level to the county level, to the state senate level, to the state level.

00:23:42.000 Then why don't we just have like a... Why don't we start with like a small town implementing these common carrier rules?

00:23:48.000 Well, no, with common carrier rules, you need the state.

00:23:50.000 But to influence the state, you need to get involved at the precinct level.

00:23:53.000 Yeah.

00:23:53.000 So, for example, one of the bad things, I like the Texas tech bill, but one of the bad things Texas did recently, the Texas Republican Party, rather, was issue a motion taking the party off GAAP.

00:24:06.000 Right, right, right.

00:24:07.000 Yeah, because of concerns about anti-Semitic hate speech or whatever.

00:24:11.000 And Governor Abbott supported that.

00:24:13.000 That was, uh, it's kind of weird that, you know, the Texas Republicans are saying, oh, we're going to support free speech with this bill, which hasn't passed yet, but we're also going to leave the only, you know, free speech social network.

00:24:23.000 Yeah, so we have this from Texas Scorecard.

00:24:26.000 Texas GOP Executive Committee votes to delete Gab account.

00:24:30.000 How did your State Republican Executive Committee members vote?

00:24:33.000 So this shows, I guess everyone, how all these individuals voted.

00:24:36.000 They say during their quarterly meeting in Laredo this past weekend, the State Republican Executive Committee voted 35-25 to delete the Texas GOP's Gab account after much debate.

00:24:46.000 Consisting of one man and one woman from each of the state's 31 districts, the SREC is essentially the governing body of the Republican Party.

00:24:53.000 They're going to say Gab is an alternative social media platform and, uh, wow. 1.00

00:24:58.000 That's very stupid. 0.99

00:25:00.000 But yeah, on the one hand, that's a black belt because the party that's supposed to be anti-censorship. 1.00

00:25:04.000 And, you know, anti-smears of bigotry and racism and antisemitism, things like that, is doing stupid things like this. 0.99

00:25:10.000 But on the other hand, you know, you look at this. 0.99

00:25:12.000 This is the executive committee of the GOP party in Texas.

00:25:16.000 It's not that hard to influence that if you get involved at the local level, at the local precinct level, and send delegates to the GOP convention, and, you know, make legislative suggestions, which anyone can do if you're a member of the party there.

00:25:27.000 So, you know, if more people did that, this would be a lot harder to do.

00:25:30.000 It feels like, not just with these stories and a bunch of other stories we've been hearing about for the past months, the system is just rotten to its core.

00:25:39.000 And I don't see how we pull out of this tailspin.

00:25:42.000 The foundation is cracking.

00:25:44.000 It's like a building, you know?

00:25:46.000 And the wood is rotten, and the foundations are crumbling, and people are trying to come in and trying to hold the building up, but it's going down, man.

00:25:53.000 Look, people can be fairly optimistic, but you take a look at what's going on with Antifa getting released.

00:25:53.000 I don't know.

00:25:58.000 You know, they commit felonies and they're free to go.

00:26:00.000 A woman, you know, sells coffee and then she gets arrested. 1.00

00:26:04.000 Big Tech keeps doing this. 0.99

00:26:05.000 The Republican Party is so pathetic and so weak that they've known about this problem for years and just sit there going, I don't know. 1.00

00:26:16.000 I think anybody that hides behind a political party is pathetic and weak. 1.00

00:26:19.000 But what do you do? 1.00

00:26:20.000 Start your own party.

00:26:21.000 You don't need a party.

00:26:22.000 Sure, sure.

00:26:23.000 But regardless, the foundation is broken because there's too many people who are like, I have to vote Republican, otherwise a Democrat will win.

00:26:29.000 When you say the foundation is busted and you have the allegory of the building falling down, what is it?

00:26:34.000 What is the, what is it?

00:26:35.000 The system that you're talking about?

00:26:37.000 Like Western capitalism?

00:26:39.000 Our country.

00:26:40.000 The United States government... The function of government and business is rotten to its core.

00:26:44.000 Specifically, just the United States?

00:26:46.000 I mean, other countries have other problems.

00:26:47.000 I don't live in those other countries.

00:26:48.000 I live in the United States, so I can talk to you about the U.S.

00:26:50.000 I think other countries have problems.

00:26:52.000 The U.K., whoo!

00:26:53.000 They got it way worse!

00:26:55.000 That country is on fire!

00:26:56.000 I know.

00:26:57.000 A lot of countries have the worst.

00:26:57.000 Yeah.

00:26:58.000 Arresting a guy for making a YouTube video with his girlfriend's dog. 1.00

00:27:02.000 Man, those people are nuts. 0.70

00:27:03.000 But we got that stuff happening here too, to a certain degree. 0.99

00:27:06.000 A guy getting arrested for posting rap lyrics.

00:27:10.000 Those rap lyrics were threats of terrorism.

00:27:12.000 It happens.

00:27:13.000 There was that Ricky Vaughn case as well.

00:27:14.000 A guy getting arrested for posting memes in 2016.

00:27:16.000 Yeah, that's interesting.

00:27:18.000 Which was copied by a left-winger who was not arrested.

00:27:21.000 The justice system is completely at the whims of the extremists.

00:27:23.000 You look at the Chauvin trial.

00:27:24.000 different community the exact same thing imitating this and yeah she's just fine

00:27:28.000 right right yep she made a video I think saying the same thing yeah well this so

00:27:33.000 so the justice system is completely at the at the whims of the extremists you

00:27:39.000 look at the Chauvin trial you so this is this is amazing in the Chauvin trial you

00:27:43.000 have this juror who lied said he didn't go to these protests

00:27:46.000 He did.

00:27:47.000 The Floyd family spoke there.

00:27:49.000 Then he claimed he doesn't remember owning that George Floyd shirt.

00:27:51.000 And then Jack Posobiec not only found a picture of him wearing it, but found a video of him in his own YouTube channel wearing the shirt.

00:27:58.000 This guy's clearly lying and you know what's going to happen?

00:28:01.000 Nothing!

00:28:02.000 There's not going to be a new trial.

00:28:03.000 The system is rotten to its core.

00:28:05.000 Mark Zuckerberg can do whatever he wants.

00:28:07.000 They call him in over and over and over again.

00:28:10.000 Nothing happens!

00:28:11.000 They're just... It's a pressure relief valve.

00:28:14.000 The system is corrupt.

00:28:16.000 There's Democrats extracting all they can from the system as it burns to the ground and Republicans are just also essentially getting as much as they can out of it while it burns to the ground and just telling you they're giving you enough to make you think they're fighting back when they are not.

00:28:34.000 the what was it $1,600 checks they sent everyone that are worth I'm sorry what were you gonna say

00:28:38.000 I was gonna say hashtag hashtag not all republicans senator bill haggarty the uh the senator the new

00:28:45.000 senator from Tennessee has introduced a uh a big tech bill that's actually good that uh you know

00:28:51.000 you know what I I should Sure, not all Republicans.

00:28:56.000 I like Rand Paul.

00:28:57.000 We were singing the praises of Ron Paul.

00:28:58.000 Ron Paul's a good dude.

00:28:59.000 Rand Paul's pretty good.

00:29:01.000 They're not all perfect.

00:29:02.000 I like this thing about common cares, but let me tell you, man, when the Republicans had the power, they did nothing.

00:29:07.000 They actually sided with Russiagate.

00:29:09.000 That was in part because they weren't feeling the pressure from the base.

00:29:13.000 When they feel the pressure, they actually flip pretty quickly.

00:29:16.000 I saw this firsthand during the confirmation of Nathan Symington at the FCC.

00:29:21.000 This was a guy who I knew personally was not bought by special interests, who was opposed to tech censorship, who'd worked on efforts against tech censorship.

00:29:30.000 But Republican senators, they weren't an establishment guy there.

00:29:32.000 So they were wavering.

00:29:33.000 If it was left up to Republican senators, they wouldn't have let this guy through.

00:29:39.000 At Breitbart News, article after article, putting the spotlight on each Republican senator that was wavering, and within days of doing that, the senators all flipped and said, oh yes, of course, we'll support Trump's nomination to the FCC.

00:29:50.000 It is possible to accomplish change through the system, but only if you keep the spotlight on these people 24-7.

00:29:57.000 It's possible that because the traditional liberals have gone to sleep now that the Democrats have taken everything, come 2022, conservatives and disaffected liberals, moderates, the anti-woke are in full offensive, and the libs have gone to sleep thinking they've won.

00:30:12.000 So maybe in 2022, the Republicans gain back the House.

00:30:15.000 Maybe they'll get back the Senate.

00:30:17.000 Maybe in 2024, they can get back the presidency.

00:30:19.000 But I gotta say, I'm not confident that even if they do, they'll do anything.

00:30:23.000 Look, people like Ted Cruz, you know, I think he's better than most of them, but I still think all of them are more worried about what the New York Times thinks of them than what their constituents do.

00:30:36.000 That's true.

00:30:37.000 Republicans need to start ignoring the media.

00:30:39.000 This needs to be the new paradigm.

00:30:41.000 And then everyone, like with a platform or in a position of influence, just ignore the media.

00:30:45.000 Absolutely, stop participating in their broken systems.

00:30:48.000 These Republicans are probably sitting there thinking, well, if I actually do the right thing, they'll lie about me, and then people won't want to donate to me, and corporations will get scared, so I better just toe the line for what the media says.

00:31:00.000 And thus, the media dictates what the Republicans do.

00:31:02.000 The Republicans do just enough to make it seem like they're doing something, and they do nothing.

00:31:06.000 So what happens when the Republicans actually win back these seats?

00:31:10.000 Then all of a sudden you're going to see them say, well, hold on.

00:31:12.000 We need to have a hearing and slow down.

00:31:14.000 We can't just do this.

00:31:16.000 Democrats, on the other hand, are like rubber stamp it all. 0.69

00:31:18.000 Set the place on fire.

00:31:19.000 Dude, they're getting paid massive amounts of money to sit there and just field questions and talk about stuff.

00:31:24.000 They're getting paid.

00:31:26.000 They don't barely do anything.

00:31:27.000 And then they're getting bribed by corporations to pass bills and to vote yes on stuff they haven't read.

00:31:33.000 So busted.

00:31:34.000 How many times, how many elections are we supposed to go through crossing our fingers?

00:31:40.000 Right?

00:31:40.000 I think one of the issues too is that millennials have only experienced so many election cycles.

00:31:46.000 And so as the older generation starts to fade out and retire and stop paying attention or pass on, then you end up with the next generation of, you know, Gen Xers and millennials who are just basing everything off of We've been through four election cycles, and we've seen this, that, and this.

00:32:05.000 This is the time.

00:32:06.000 This is our chance.

00:32:07.000 If you took one person who was a thousand years old, he'd be like, oh yeah, this again.

00:32:11.000 We've gone back and forth with this like hundreds of times.

00:32:14.000 You're not going to get what you want.

00:32:15.000 The system is a gross amalgam of weird, corrupt policies that don't make sense half the time.

00:32:20.000 And they'd also be like, don't break your country.

00:32:23.000 Don't break your country.

00:32:25.000 Come on, guys.

00:32:25.000 It's up to you.

00:32:26.000 No, it's broken.

00:32:28.000 Well, they're breaking it.

00:32:29.000 There's people setting fires for over a year.

00:32:33.000 The riots have been continuing.

00:32:35.000 And then we get the FBI being like, these domestic, these far right terrorists are the biggest threat.

00:32:39.000 And you're like, I didn't hear helicopters and sirens outside my house because of the far right.

00:32:46.000 I didn't have to move an event I was putting on near my home with guest speakers because of the far right.

00:32:52.000 The far right was the terrorist, was the boogeyman.

00:32:53.000 Terrorist boogeyman.

00:32:54.000 It was because Antifa called and threatened to burn the theater down.

00:32:57.000 It was because far left rioters crossed the bridge and started rioting in the suburbs.

00:32:57.000 Yeah.

00:33:03.000 Yet I turn on the TV and the system is dominated by the cult.

00:33:08.000 These people who don't care.

00:33:09.000 You know, and I really believe a lot of these people who go on TV, like Chris Wray or whatever, the FBI, they know they're lying.

00:33:16.000 Of course they do.

00:33:17.000 But they don't care about you.

00:33:19.000 All they care about is making sure the New York Times is nice to them.

00:33:22.000 They're all more worried about what the New York Times has to say than the people of this country.

00:33:27.000 There was a Solzhenitsyn quote about this during the Soviet Union, something like, we know they're lying, they know that we know that they're lying, and we know that they know that we know that they know. 0.65

00:33:41.000 That's what I was getting to.

00:33:43.000 That's the point we're getting to.

00:33:45.000 There's a lot of traditional liberals who don't know anything.

00:33:49.000 And the best example is that they've all gone to sleep.

00:33:51.000 They're no longer paying attention to politics.

00:33:53.000 The ratings are dropping.

00:33:55.000 They don't care.

00:33:55.000 They never cared.

00:33:57.000 And it's scary that these people are empowering sociopaths and psychopaths.

00:34:02.000 And that's true for Republicans too.

00:34:03.000 There's a lot of conservatives who go to sleep all the same, don't pay attention.

00:34:07.000 And that's why you end up with a lot of never-Trumper conservatives who just, all they cared for was the establishment.

00:34:12.000 So I ended up with Kinzinger in Illinois.

00:34:14.000 Getting all this support and getting these votes.

00:34:17.000 Because you've got people who just don't care.

00:34:19.000 Dude.

00:34:20.000 I think they're on their way out.

00:34:21.000 I think Liz Cheney's on her way out. 0.93

00:34:22.000 She might lose her leadership position. 0.77

00:34:24.000 Kinzinger's going to be redistricted out there, and he'll probably get a position on MSNBC as an ex-Republican commentator.

00:34:31.000 Very popular.

00:34:33.000 But at the moment, they seem to be on their way out of the party, except for the really smart ones like Dan Crenshaw, who pretend to be all MAGA, but are basically just establishment.

00:34:43.000 But it's interesting that they have to pretend to be MAGA.

00:34:46.000 Right, right, right.

00:34:47.000 Because I think that there's a lot of people who woke up due to the internet.

00:34:51.000 They're paying attention now, they're getting their facts, they're watching shows like this, and they're realizing, you know, the media's lying a lot.

00:34:57.000 But the media is doing everything in its power to make sure they can maintain the facade, so one thing that's got to happen is YouTube's got to purge itself.

00:35:05.000 YouTube wants to be Netflix, they don't want to be YouTube anymore.

00:35:08.000 Let me ask you a question.

00:35:08.000 Let's ask everyone a question.

00:35:10.000 What's worse, big media or big tech?

00:35:13.000 Big tech.

00:35:14.000 Yeah, tech.

00:35:15.000 I would say big media.

00:35:16.000 Why would you guys say tech?

00:35:17.000 Because big tech can block you from talking to your own mother.

00:35:19.000 Correct, but what drives that?

00:35:21.000 I think big media has driven most of the tech censorship.

00:35:24.000 You might be right.

00:35:25.000 You see this happen, like whenever Facebook or YouTube doesn't move quickly enough, I'm not saying, you know, the tech companies are blameless, but whenever they don't move quickly enough, they'll start up these huge advertiser boycotts against YouTube, against Facebook.

00:35:37.000 And the whole panic around disinformation and fake news was started by the media.

00:35:42.000 If that hadn't happened, there would have been some pressure on the tech companies to censor, but it's only because of the relentless pressure from the media over the past four or five years that this has escalated so rapidly.

00:35:52.000 The Hunter Biden story was censored by big tech before there was any media.

00:35:56.000 There were some tweets from journalists.

00:35:58.000 Well I think it's gotten to the point now that they're anticipating what the media will do and what the Democrats will do.

00:36:02.000 The reason I said tech is because they can build the algorithms that you don't see and that like with media at least you see what they're feeding you and other people are eating it.

00:36:11.000 Maybe you're not but at least you see it that that's what they're eating but with tech Algorithms, you don't know like why am I seeing the things

00:36:18.000 I think I like I don't know because some some Scientists in a room was decided that he wants me to see it

00:36:24.000 that way and I can never know because the proprietary I think I think over time YouTube is gonna slowly excise

00:36:29.000 channels like this They are doing everything in their power to make it seem

00:36:33.000 like that Well, they're not they're not banning or censoring you but

00:36:36.000 they will reduce visibility slowly over time go

00:36:40.000 Open a private window in a browser and then go to YouTube.com and you'll be like, wow, is this what people are watching?

00:36:48.000 Yes, because it's the only thing they know that exists because it's what YouTube gives them.

00:36:52.000 Open up a new account on Spotify.

00:36:54.000 Here's the music they're recommending to people.

00:36:57.000 We are in this small space of Take the blue pill.

00:37:02.000 I guess I don't know if you'd call it, right, initiated individuals, I guess is the one

00:37:06.000 we'd describe it, people who have paid attention to politics, who know what's going on, and

00:37:09.000 they're doing everything in their power to make sure that more people don't come into 1.00

00:37:12.000 the space and just go back to sleep, everything's okay, we're gonna keep blowing up kids in

00:37:17.000 the Middle East, don't ask any questions.

00:37:18.000 Take the blue pill.

00:37:19.000 Absolutely.

00:37:20.000 Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. 0.69

00:37:23.000 Actually he didn't.

00:37:24.000 But they told us that for years and that allowed us to invade Iraq and station troops and murder. 0.92

00:37:29.000 How many tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of civilians?

00:37:32.000 Lots of civilians.

00:37:33.000 How many people have died?

00:37:35.000 Hundreds of thousands.

00:37:37.000 It's the same companies that are giving us the lies now about the far this and the far then the extremist this and the color of that guy's skin.

00:37:45.000 And you know what the best thing about all of it is?

00:37:48.000 In 50 years, if they win, no one will ever talk about this conversation ever again.

00:37:54.000 No one will remember, yeah.

00:37:55.000 It won't be in the history books.

00:37:57.000 It won't be in the history books.

00:37:58.000 It'll be purged, it'll be excised from the great libraries of the digital cloud.

00:38:05.000 And it'll never have happened.

00:38:07.000 As soon as the generation that we're in passes, if they have their way, and it sounds like nothing's going to stop them because the Republican Party is a bunch of feckless losers, then we end up in 50 years with the Republican Party as a bunch of socialist otherkin arguing with communist transhumanists who have already integrated their bodies into robot bodies. 0.58

00:38:28.000 And I made this joke on Twitter, but it's not meant to be a joke.

00:38:31.000 It's the truth.

00:38:34.000 In 15 years, you're gonna have a young Republican being like, everybody knows that socialism is good, but these communists are too far left!

00:38:43.000 That's the way it's been going.

00:38:44.000 You can see it happening.

00:38:46.000 Absolutely.

00:38:46.000 You just need only look back a little bit to the 90s.

00:38:50.000 Look back to the 2000s when Bernie Sanders is like, we need a border barrier!

00:38:54.000 Hillary Clinton, Kerry, all these people like, build the wall!

00:38:58.000 Then Trump's like, okay, build the wall.

00:39:00.000 How dare you?

00:39:00.000 You're far right!

00:39:01.000 Open borders now! 0.97

00:39:03.000 The people who used to protest the World Trade Organization, it's hilarious.

00:39:07.000 The battle for Seattle or whatever, the battle in Seattle, remember that?

00:39:11.000 I think it was late 90s.

00:39:13.000 Huge World Trade Organization protest.

00:39:15.000 It was the left saying no to this big free trade internationalist policy.

00:39:20.000 Now they're for open borders!

00:39:22.000 The oligarchy co-opted their own opponents.

00:39:26.000 I actually read an interesting article by Angelo Codavilla, a former senator.

00:39:32.000 He's out at the Claremont Institute.

00:39:34.000 And I'm sort of arguing against myself there because I said, you know, is big media worse than big tech?

00:39:38.000 But what this article argues is that they're all interchangeable.

00:39:41.000 Like the guy who runs the FBI, the guy who runs Facebook, the Democrat politician, the Democrat president.

00:39:48.000 The guy who runs CNN, all of them are interchangeable elites working towards the same goal.

00:39:52.000 The guy who runs the activist organization, also interchangeable.

00:39:55.000 They trade places and they all want the same thing, which is to reduce the power of the people and increase the power of elites.

00:40:02.000 Check this out.

00:40:03.000 From the Washington Examiner, Black Lives Matter releases new list of demands including permanently banning Trump from all digital media platforms.

00:40:13.000 Why does Black Lives Matter care about one guy? 0.74

00:40:15.000 I thought Black Lives Matter was about empowering the black community and stopping police brutality.

00:40:22.000 But I guess they're really concerned with making sure the Democrats win.

00:40:26.000 That's one of their new demands.

00:40:29.000 So this is it.

00:40:30.000 This is the proof that their goal is to rewrite history and control from this point on history. 0.54

00:40:37.000 If nothing changes in 50 years, Trump may as well not have existed.

00:40:40.000 I once had a very long phone conversation with a Facebook press representative who was supposed to just give me a canned comment for my article, but instead he went on for 30 minutes trying to persuade me that Black Lives Matter is not a political movement.

00:40:54.000 And when I say that Facebook is political because it supports BLM, I'm wrong because Black Lives Matter is non-partisan and non-political and everyone should believe in black lives.

00:41:03.000 But yes, this non-partisan, non-political organization wants a president to be banned from office.

00:41:09.000 It doesn't sound political at all. 0.90

00:41:14.000 They're gonna say he was a white supremacist. 0.96

00:41:18.000 They're gonna say he was a violent white supremacist. 0.98

00:41:21.000 He incited insurrection and tried to destroy the country.

00:41:24.000 And he was dutifully defeated by a powerful and well-informed electorate who challenged the fake news ecosystem that he had created.

00:41:31.000 That'll be history.

00:41:34.000 The pictures of him will make him look grotesque.

00:41:37.000 He'll have a bright orange face with tiny hands.

00:41:40.000 And that's all people will know about him.

00:41:44.000 I disagree with that.

00:41:44.000 I think what they'll say is that this current Republican candidate is way too extreme.

00:41:50.000 Even Donald Trump was more moderate than that.

00:41:53.000 This is how it always goes.

00:41:54.000 The last Republican president was a moderate and the current Republican presidential candidate is way too far, way beyond there.

00:42:01.000 So George Bush is now a hero, whereas at the time he was literally Hitler. 0.56

00:42:06.000 Yeah, but you look at George Bush now, and George Bush is parroting the establishment and the woke left. 0.98

00:42:11.000 Right, which loves him now, but back then they were like, you know, this guy, he's racist, he hates black, he doesn't care about black people, he's a warmonger, he's Hitler, blah blah blah. 0.90

00:42:23.000 They called John McCain a racist, and they called Romney a sexist, and you know, now these are all heroes of the establishment. 0.98

00:42:28.000 So Trump was a moderate, though, compared to them, and they called him far-right.

00:42:32.000 Indeed, yeah.

00:42:33.000 So they can't have, you know, it's hilarious watching, you know, looking at CNN and, you know, the Twitter accounts of some of their personalities when they're just trapped in this time vortex where January 20th has never come, and they're stuck there with Trump all around them.

00:42:48.000 And the things they say about them, I'm like, Wikipedia and, look, universities and academia is totally corrupted and tainted with bunk, insane information.

00:42:59.000 They push lies every day.

00:43:00.000 You go on Reddit, you see what people think.

00:43:02.000 They think wrong things.

00:43:04.000 Because the media is no longer about... Mainstream corporate press, for a long time, has not been around to inform people.

00:43:12.000 It exists now to misinform people, on purpose.

00:43:17.000 Someone got smart and they were like, man, you know, these journalists, maybe it was the mob, maybe it was these corrupt politicians back in the day.

00:43:24.000 They were like, this journalist is going to expose my affair.

00:43:27.000 I can't have that.

00:43:28.000 I know.

00:43:29.000 Let's buy the newspapers.

00:43:31.000 Goebbels, Hitler's minister of propaganda was Legit spearheaded that charge when they had basically had the first time in history they had TV and they could use media like that. 0.76

00:43:43.000 So they decided if you tell a lie enough, eventually people will start to believe it.

00:43:48.000 I wouldn't be surprised if people in the future are told that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

00:43:52.000 And that it was Trump's white supremacist followers who are spreading lies.

00:43:56.000 I wouldn't even be surprised if there are people today that think there were.

00:43:59.000 Like you would think that would be the most red flag, we made a mistake thing to teach kids, but they don't want that.

00:44:06.000 And I say they, and I hate using they as a bland thing, but this, this military complex, whatever you want to call it, military, capitalist, coercive, whatever.

00:44:16.000 They really want to sell bullets.

00:44:18.000 They need to.

00:44:19.000 And they're afraid that if we don't police the world, someone else will.

00:44:23.000 I think it's way, way more than that.

00:44:24.000 I think that's overly simplistic.

00:44:26.000 Yeah, I'm being kind because we're on TV.

00:44:28.000 On the internet.

00:44:29.000 Yeah, on the internet.

00:44:30.000 I don't think it's about necessarily selling bullets.

00:44:32.000 It's about maintaining dominance.

00:44:34.000 And it's not so much they're scared someone else will police the world.

00:44:36.000 It's that they want to maintain dominance.

00:44:39.000 Everybody wants more.

00:44:40.000 I think it's fair to say there's concerns about China's expansion and Russia, but if they really cared about that, I'd imagine they'd be taking China more seriously, not being deferential to China.

00:44:50.000 I think the reality is, many politicians are like, look, I don't care who's in charge, so long as you keep giving me money, and I get to be super rich.

00:44:58.000 So when China starts doing its thing, they go, what's the easiest way to make money on this one?

00:45:03.000 Just side with China. 0.99

00:45:04.000 The way to understand American foreign policy, I think, is that for a long time it hasn't been in the interest of the American people or even in the American national interest in terms of maintaining dominance.

00:45:04.000 Yeah.

00:45:14.000 It's just been, you know, which foreign lobbyists are throwing around money, which think tanks are throwing around money, that the whole Russia panic was driven by these very powerful, influential, cross-Atlantic think tanks like the Atlantic Council, And you know the German Marshall Fund, you know who their

00:45:31.000 entire job is predicated on a US focus on Russia So at the slightest hint that there might be a pivot from

00:45:36.000 Russia to China these guys freaked out Which is why they became some of the most anti-trump people

00:45:41.000 out there. Yep Yeah, so history is written by the victors. Yeah, and

00:45:44.000 But then again, there are also, you know people have an interest in a China focus. So it's just all these groups

00:45:50.000 competing man

00:45:52.000 I'm a bit. I don't the right word is Pessimistic to say the very least there's some there's some

00:46:00.000 positive things We've seen the Olympics just banned Black Lives Matter 0.99

00:46:03.000 protests kneeling, you know pumping your fist or whatever I think you know, we've seen some some Hollywood stuff

00:46:09.000 stuff That's been anti woke and it may be because now that Trump's

00:46:11.000 out of office. They're like, okay We better pull this back before we lose control

00:46:15.000 but regardless The establishment is in control. I've heard a cynical

00:46:19.000 interpretation of the Olympic thing If the Olympic Committee allowed political expression by, you know, American athletes, they'd have to allow political expression from Chinese athletes and North Korean athletes.

00:46:33.000 Actually, is North Korea banned from the Olympics?

00:46:34.000 I don't know.

00:46:35.000 But all these authoritarian regimes would send their athletes and say, hey, you know, show the hammer and sickle, you know, you know, hold a sign saying, you know, the Hong Kong protesters are terrorists, et cetera, et cetera.

00:46:46.000 Yep.

00:46:47.000 So they'd have to cave to all these other countries.

00:46:49.000 Well, that's probably why they did it.

00:46:50.000 It's true, and I'd love to see more protests against China, but they're still allowed to protest, just not during the games.

00:46:57.000 So I'm like, maybe that's a good thing.

00:46:59.000 Maybe everybody needs to chill out a little bit.

00:47:01.000 This is like, you know, the violence, the escalation.

00:47:03.000 The problem is, it's one-sided.

00:47:06.000 It's the people protesting China aren't going around blowing things up.

00:47:09.000 I mean, Hong Kong there was, you know, rioting.

00:47:12.000 But you look at in the U.S., it's Antifa.

00:47:16.000 And they're gaining ground and they're winning.

00:47:18.000 They're winning the legal battle.

00:47:19.000 They're winning the media battle.

00:47:21.000 And the federal law enforcement is acting like they don't exist and giving them space to just destroy everything.

00:47:29.000 To inject some optimism, the state laws against critical race theory.

00:47:33.000 That's a positive development.

00:47:34.000 Lots of red states doing this.

00:47:35.000 But, you know, when you were talking about Florida's law on social media censorship not being enough, it's the same thing that's true for these bans on critical race theory.

00:47:44.000 It's not just critical race theory, it's wokeness encompasses critical theory in general, which is every aspect of identity.

00:47:50.000 So now you've got a whole bunch of people saying, Critical Race Theory!

00:47:54.000 And they're totally ignoring Critical Gender Theory.

00:47:57.000 And, you know, there's a whole slew of identity-based, you know, theories that exist beyond race.

00:48:02.000 So it's like, better than nothing.

00:48:05.000 But still, how are we supposed to catch up if we're going slower than they are?

00:48:10.000 They're not just passing laws.

00:48:13.000 They're burning down buildings, cutting off pigs' heads and putting it on the porches of the former home of one of the witnesses in the Chauvin trial.

00:48:21.000 They're lying to get on the trials in the first place.

00:48:24.000 And the good principled, you know, moderates and disaffected liberals and conservatives are like, well, we're not going to do any of that.

00:48:29.000 We shouldn't.

00:48:30.000 And if you even think about doing it, the FBI will go, oh, and they'll send 12 agents down because they found a garage pull rope in your house.

00:48:39.000 Yeah, the FBI is just like the enforcement arm of the Democrat-controlled oligarchy at this point.

00:48:44.000 It was during Trump as well.

00:48:45.000 It was, yes.

00:48:46.000 Yeah.

00:48:47.000 So, forgive me for being a little bit pessimistic, huh?

00:48:50.000 Well, politically, yeah, I think it's busted AF, but I think the real solution is technology.

00:48:50.000 You know what?

00:48:56.000 Like, if we can have water, decentralized water supply for every human, and we're able to travel and live spread out, I think a lot of these problems will dissipate.

00:49:08.000 So although it is important to focus on this political stuff, China, America, Black Lives Matter, violence in the streets, it's not the solution.

00:49:16.000 I don't think it's the solution.

00:49:18.000 No amount of arguing and yelling and signing paperwork is going to solve it.

00:49:20.000 We need technology that can allow us to become independent.

00:49:23.000 Yeah, the technology is currently owned and controlled by the cult, so... Proprietary technology is concerning.

00:49:29.000 IP wasn't even invented until I think Queen Elizabeth created copyright in order to protect the Bibles that she wanted to sell so that she could maintain profit on all the Bibles.

00:49:39.000 Before that, that didn't exist.

00:49:40.000 You could just kind of trade information freely.

00:49:42.000 No, I think IP should exist.

00:49:43.000 Well, maybe it should be reformed.

00:49:45.000 Especially with software code, I think.

00:49:47.000 Somebody who works, you know, a hundred hours to make a feature-length film should be compensated for producing that work.

00:49:54.000 And people saying, it's just information, I can share it all I want.

00:49:56.000 It's like, okay, like someone worked really hard to make something they want to sell.

00:50:01.000 That's why crypto works.

00:50:02.000 That's why crypto is so powerful.

00:50:04.000 Because you can't duplicate it.

00:50:06.000 It's a non-duplicatable asset you can have digitally.

00:50:10.000 I like the idea like if you made a movie and wanted to sell it for $9.99 for someone to watch it, and then I got a hold of it and wanted to sell it for a buck for people to watch it, that 90% of those profits would go to you automatically.

00:50:22.000 So if you could somehow code into the software that no matter where it goes and who profits off of it, it always goes back to the creator, at least a large percentage.

00:50:30.000 I'm getting off topic a little bit.

00:50:33.000 Yeah, I guess the main topic is... I'm interested in this, actually.

00:50:35.000 I mean, I think you were saying earlier about how all these Hollywood studios just regurgitate stuff and do the same formulas again and again, the same remakes again and again.

00:50:45.000 If they didn't have full control over the IPs, as you say, if people were allowed to reproduce and create new stuff off of that IP, And all the profits, or a significant amount of the profits go back to the creator, then I think you'd see a lot more creativity.

00:51:04.000 Yeah, definitely.

00:51:05.000 Creative commons, things like that.

00:51:07.000 It's decentralized from the internet.

00:51:07.000 I don't know, though.

00:51:09.000 You know, there used to be a small amount of really big bands and movie producers and movie stars who made a lot of money.

00:51:14.000 And now, because movie theaters are going away and because Spotify exists and everything's decentralizing, this is actually what I think is contributing to the destruction of our culture and society, that people can choose whatever they want.

00:51:27.000 So it used to be that everybody, it's like, what do you watch?

00:51:28.000 Well, you can watch the news or you can watch the Oscars.

00:51:31.000 So everybody would watch the Oscars, whether they liked it or not.

00:51:33.000 It was what was on.

00:51:34.000 Now the Oscars comes on, it's like, eh, what did we watch during the Oscars?

00:51:37.000 We watched something, oh, Mortal Kombat.

00:51:37.000 I don't remember.

00:51:39.000 I was watching Mortal Kombat instead.

00:51:41.000 Because it came out, movie, it's the Citizen Kane of our generation.

00:51:44.000 Excellent, excellent film.

00:51:46.000 Yes, just totally amazing.

00:51:48.000 And I didn't watch the Oscars.

00:51:49.000 It's so extreme, too.

00:51:50.000 How many videos are on YouTube, Gus?

00:51:52.000 Billions?

00:51:53.000 You have billions of choices of things to watch during the Oscars.

00:51:57.000 You used to have like 70, maybe, if you had cable.

00:51:59.000 Before that, you had five.

00:52:01.000 ABC, NBC, CBS.

00:52:02.000 Now you have billions of things to watch.

00:52:06.000 Static things that always are there to watch.

00:52:08.000 There's no schedule.

00:52:10.000 You have to wait till 8 o'clock.

00:52:11.000 I mean, it's a different reality.

00:52:12.000 This is why elites are so scared of the internet, though, because it's taken away that shared reality.

00:52:16.000 And, you know, there were downsides to taking away a shared reality, but it took away a shared reality that they controlled, and that's what they're afraid of.

00:52:23.000 Right.

00:52:24.000 Now people find whatever community they want for whatever they want to believe, and then you end up with people believing insane things.

00:52:32.000 I love how, you know, CNN is obsessed with, like, QAnon and Trumpism, and I'm just like, The level of cultism within the fringe QAnon people is identical to the zealotry of the woke left. 1.00

00:52:32.000 So it's funny. 1.00

00:52:50.000 But the woke left is institutionally accepted, spouting ridiculous, insane, fake news nonsense every single day. 0.99

00:52:57.000 I think one of the most Dangerous people on TV. 0.98

00:53:02.000 I love just like Tucker Carlson is dangerous.

00:53:04.000 I actually think one of the most dangerous would probably be like Chris Cuomo and Tapper.

00:53:10.000 And then to a lesser degree, you know, people like Brian Stelter.

00:53:13.000 Their jobs are to misinform you, to make sure you don't understand the world.

00:53:17.000 It's like they're purposefully trying to make you see things incorrectly so that you can't do anything about it.

00:53:22.000 Case in point, I think it was, was it Tapper?

00:53:24.000 When he was like, was he the one who said you couldn't look at the WikiLeaks documents?

00:53:28.000 Or was that Cuomo?

00:53:29.000 It was one of them.

00:53:30.000 Definitely one of them.

00:53:31.000 They were like, don't forget these Wikileaks emails.

00:53:33.000 You can't look at them.

00:53:34.000 It's illegal, but we're allowed to do it.

00:53:36.000 And then they can all... What?

00:53:38.000 They want to make sure you don't know things.

00:53:40.000 Brian Stelter on Instagram goes, don't watch the spin.

00:53:43.000 Make sure you come to us.

00:53:45.000 We're the only ones who can bring you the truth. 0.99

00:53:47.000 I'm like, you guys are crazy. 0.94

00:53:49.000 Yeah, I mean, you look at the shared reality created by, you know, institutional corporate media, you know, they believe insane things about, you know, white supremacy and feminism and the patriarchy, and they believe this for decades and decades, and I think the QAnon thing, they're just insane that they now have to compete with other insane realities. 0.96

00:54:08.000 I mean, the QAnon thing is not relevant, in my opinion.

00:54:11.000 It's... I mean, sure, there's a lot of people on the internet who believe things that are not true.

00:54:15.000 I know people who believe the Earth is flat because they went on the internet and read some weird website.

00:54:20.000 Then I opened Vox, and they're repeating fringe conspiracy theories.

00:54:25.000 They did it for years.

00:54:27.000 Bill Maher, I love how it's one of the sweetest things, like one of the funniest things, to see Bill Maher get corrupted. 1.00

00:54:34.000 Because he's this proud, like, rational guy who's like, oh, religion is crazy, and I think, and oh, these Republicans are so dumb. 0.97

00:54:42.000 And now it's like he's coming out and admitting, yeah, Russiagate wasn't real. 0.99

00:54:45.000 It's like, but dude, for years you were prattling on about it. 0.98

00:54:49.000 Did you not take two seconds out of your day, you spineless coward, to actually read the news? 0.99

00:54:55.000 No. 0.97

00:54:56.000 Because people at this age and this point in their careers, they sit back with their eyes half-closed, Bill Maher probably sparked up a doobie, and then said, just do the work for me.

00:55:05.000 I'm done. 0.68

00:55:06.000 And so then some dumb intern turns on CNN and just writes down what he hears. 0.98

00:55:10.000 Here, Bill, here's your criticism. 0.85

00:55:11.000 And then Bill comes out a week after Covington.

00:55:15.000 A week after Covington, when everything was debunked and says all of the BS lines, and I'm like, bro, do you have Google?

00:55:23.000 Well, you know what?

00:55:24.000 I can't blame him because Google's banning certain news outlets.

00:55:26.000 Exactly.

00:55:27.000 They're pointing him to confirmation bias.

00:55:29.000 A lot of times people are getting pointed towards articles that confirm what they want to believe.

00:55:34.000 And now he's supposed to be the sane liberal guy.

00:55:37.000 I appreciate the fact that he pushes back on the wokeness, but his talking points are just regurgitated fake news, and the dude doesn't have the wherewithal to actually know what he's talking about.

00:55:48.000 More so than many others, to be fair.

00:55:50.000 They want us to, you know, believe that the scariest, most dangerous conspiracy theories are the ones on, you know, anonymous message boards.

00:55:58.000 But the conspiracy theories we should be worried about are the ones that exist in universities and in the CNN newsroom, because they're the ones that have influence.

00:56:04.000 Yeah, like the Project Veritas exposing the technical director, who's like, we got Trump out, it's what we do, and we're gonna be fear-mongering, going, COVID death, oh man, gangbusters, for ratings. 0.96

00:56:14.000 These people are sick.

00:56:16.000 What do you think is more dangerous, conspiracy-wise, the World Economic Forum's Great Reset or CNN putting COVID numbers at the top of the screen for emotional manipulation? 0.97

00:56:27.000 I think that they're both pretty dangerous, which is kind of dodging the question, but it goes back to my point that, you know, No one's shared reality is going to be perfectly absent of, you know, nonsense, because we all end up believing nonsense based on, you know, what our in-group believes, and we all confirm it our own biases.

00:56:47.000 Therefore, the ones we should be most critical of, the shared realities we should be most alert to, are the ones that come from universities and the mainstream media and these big organizations like the World Economic Forum, because those institutions have power, whereas, you know, random anonymous message board with Q-posts does not.

00:57:04.000 I think a lot of what we're seeing is great reset stuff.

00:57:07.000 You know, so it was interesting.

00:57:09.000 Someone made the point that when they announced 15 days to slow the spread, Mark Zuckerberg said, we're not going to reopen until next June, you know, like a year from now or whatever.

00:57:16.000 And then sure enough, that's when a bunch of the states are lifting their lockdowns, as if Mark Zuckerberg knew.

00:57:22.000 Or it's a coincidence, whatever the point is, a lot of these businesses took action, whether it mattered to the pandemic or not.

00:57:29.000 A lot of these states were doing things that had nothing to do with the pandemic.

00:57:33.000 For instance, there was a woman in North New Jersey Who was selling things on Facebook online. 0.51

00:57:39.000 She had a little resale shop and when they shut all the businesses down, she was in her business and she was filming things saying, if you see anything you like, just let me know and we'll ship it out.

00:57:47.000 And the cops showed up with a smile on their face and said, ma'am, you can't do what you're doing.

00:57:52.000 And she was like, what do you mean?

00:57:53.000 They're like, you have to close your store.

00:57:54.000 And she goes, we are closed.

00:57:56.000 No ma'am, you can't live stream your products and then sell them. 0.81

00:57:59.000 What does that have to do with COVID?

00:58:02.000 And why did these cops go and do it?

00:58:04.000 Those cops should be fired. 0.70

00:58:07.000 Is it like 25% of people who have not left their homes throughout all of COVID?

00:58:11.000 Something insane like that?

00:58:13.000 That's serious delusion.

00:58:14.000 That, you know, people want to talk about Q and stuff like that.

00:58:17.000 Those people, I'm scared of those people.

00:58:19.000 I'm terrified of these people because they vote.

00:58:22.000 And it's like, you see these videos, there's one video recently of a woman wearing, it's like she made out of PVC pipe, this like square rectangle thing that goes over her body with plastic sheets.

00:58:34.000 And then like her hands can come out through gloves and she's walking around with this thing.

00:58:39.000 You see videos.

00:58:40.000 I wonder how many of these are jokes, right?

00:58:41.000 Because we bought the space helmet thing, which is really funny.

00:58:44.000 I have this thing.

00:58:45.000 It's called like microclimate and it's like a space helmet.

00:58:48.000 I gotta, I gotta admit though.

00:58:49.000 I bought it as a gag because it was funny, but it's really useful when I'm cleaning out the garage and there's all the dust and pollen and, you know, I would, I would go in there, you know, and I'd try to clean out the dust a bit and I'm sneezing like crazy and I'm like, I'm going to wear my space helmet and it works.

00:59:03.000 It's beautiful.

00:59:03.000 It's big and it's got air filters in it.

00:59:05.000 I'm like, this is actually really nice.

00:59:06.000 Advertisements you didn't know you needed.

00:59:08.000 Yeah, maybe they should market it as, like, when you're cleaning in a dusty place and you need filters because of, you know... Yeah, for your eyes, too.

00:59:14.000 But anyway, you have a lot of these people who believe the most insane things.

00:59:18.000 These videos where, like, people are walking down the street wearing, you know, a hazmat suit or something, and they jump out of the way of people.

00:59:25.000 I have friends.

00:59:27.000 And it's like, dude, I get it.

00:59:28.000 I understand there's a concern about COVID.

00:59:30.000 But some people just go nuts.

00:59:33.000 Yeah, I mean, I understand if you're like in a vulnerable, vulnerable group, if you're older, or if you have some sort of condition that makes you particularly at risk due to COVID.

00:59:40.000 But like, normal, healthy people are doing this, like.

00:59:43.000 I got it.

00:59:44.000 It's not just the lockdown.

00:59:45.000 It's like the extremism.

00:59:46.000 It's the wearing the weird hazmat suits with like an air canister.

00:59:50.000 What gutted me of everything I've seen in the last two years is the baby when the baby was born in plastic and then the mom like pressed it against her all the press in the baby's face against the plastic sheet.

01:00:02.000 So it was protected.

01:00:04.000 I don't know.

01:00:05.000 I don't know.

01:00:05.000 It was just so sad to be a for the baby's first experience in life to be smushed into plastic.

01:00:12.000 Right, right, right, right.

01:00:13.000 The point I'm trying to get to is that there are a lot of people who believe insane conspiracy theories that are unfounded.

01:00:18.000 Not even the mainstream media is saying it, but there's no criticism from journalists over what crazy people are saying and doing.

01:00:24.000 You gotta be so careful because you can get banned for criticizing specific things you don't even know what they are.

01:00:29.000 I'm not saying that.

01:00:30.000 I'm saying CNN's Brian Seltzer will never come out and say Antifa is a problem.

01:00:34.000 He's done it like when Andy Ngo got attacked.

01:00:36.000 He did a blurb where he's like, a journalist shouldn't get attacked.

01:00:38.000 See?

01:00:39.000 There we go.

01:00:40.000 Tucker Carlson, by the way.

01:00:40.000 Anyway, moving on.

01:00:43.000 They won't do it.

01:00:44.000 So yes, we all know QAnon is bad.

01:00:46.000 We all know these people believe crazy things and they never seem to give up.

01:00:50.000 We don't talk about the fringe far-left conspiracies, the lunatics who believe insane things about... The left always tries to disavow this.

01:01:00.000 Well, there's a whole bunch of weird medicinal websites that are run by crystal-woo-woo people who are leftists, who are socialists, who are hippies on farms, who believe insane things about medicine and about hospitals.

01:01:00.000 What conspiracies?

01:01:12.000 The media doesn't talk about that.

01:01:14.000 They like to talk about anti-vaxxers, but they only ever highlight like a conservative or just like some random person on the internet.

01:01:20.000 They don't talk about Russiagate.

01:01:22.000 Literally four years of the mainstream media propping up completely fake news, and they still do it every single day.

01:01:30.000 So it's gonna be fantastic.

01:01:32.000 Look, this bill in Florida, maybe they won't be able to actually enforce these things, but there's a provision saying that news organizations can't be banned based on their content.

01:01:41.000 I'll profess by saying I'm not loyal, but like the lawyers I've talked to say, it's extremely difficult for that to get past the First Amendment, unless you also have some kind of common carrier or public accommodation requirement.

01:01:54.000 I'll say this about the Florida bill, though.

01:01:56.000 It does have a pretty strong transparency requirement.

01:01:59.000 that can't be dodged by appeals of the Constitution or to 230.

01:02:03.000 So that could be interesting.

01:02:05.000 It might force these tech companies to really show us what's going on with their algorithms.

01:02:09.000 Or they might just do that and say, okay, yeah, we are sending this from you, we don't care.

01:02:12.000 What do you want to do about it?

01:02:13.000 At the very least, a bunch of lawsuits will be filed at the state level.

01:02:16.000 Yep, yep, that will happen.

01:02:18.000 And then what's Facebook going to do?

01:02:20.000 They're going to have to deal with... I mean, we talked about the other day, you got 21 million people in Florida.

01:02:24.000 Let's say around half of them are Republicans.

01:02:28.000 Around 20% are probably paying attention on social media, because that's the number on Twitter.

01:02:32.000 And 2% of those are active on Twitter, actually posting.

01:02:35.000 So you can have between a couple hundred thousand or tens of thousands of people and millions of people who might actually have issue with these social media companies.

01:02:45.000 Many of them might file lawsuits and have grounds to do so.

01:02:51.000 It's doubtful in my view that any of those will survive in court.

01:02:54.000 I think the tech companies will win.

01:02:56.000 At the state level?

01:02:57.000 At the state level.

01:02:58.000 But how if the state passes the law?

01:03:01.000 And then they go to a court in that state and say, see what your law says?

01:03:05.000 That's what they did.

01:03:06.000 They would have to appeal to the feds.

01:03:09.000 But that still means they're going to be attacked on multiple fronts, that they're going to have to pay for these lawyers, they're going to have to take it to court, and it's going to cost them a lot of money, and they're not going to get their court costs back.

01:03:19.000 Not that much.

01:03:21.000 It's very hard to impose financial consequences on the tech companies that they actually care about.

01:03:27.000 And it would have to exceed the financial cost that the media can impose on them by whipping up ad boycotts.

01:03:33.000 And that's like hundreds of billions, billions of dollars.

01:03:36.000 Well, the problem ultimately is none of these things individually.

01:03:39.000 It's our community.

01:03:41.000 It is that we don't care about each other or our country.

01:03:44.000 We have no shared interests, no shared goals.

01:03:47.000 The country is split, not just down the middle.

01:03:50.000 Because, sure, there's a culture war with a left and a right, whatever those factions may be.

01:03:54.000 But there's subcategories within these factions that are fighting with each other that dislike each other.

01:03:58.000 The states are another instance of, you know, factional conflict.

01:04:04.000 These boycotts are the most insane. 1.00

01:04:06.000 I'm sorry, these corporations and the ad boycotts are the stupidest things ever. 0.99

01:04:11.000 You know, you see Coke now backtracking. 0.99

01:04:13.000 Oh no, we didn't mean to criticize Georgia.

01:04:15.000 It's just absolutely insane that these corporations are deciding to sacrifice their business for like 7% of the country.

01:04:23.000 One way to look at it is that centralization is fighting decentralization.

01:04:27.000 Like, the internet has busted up everyone's shared realities, we're now going into, you know, the realities we like best.

01:04:33.000 But the forces of centralization are trying to fight that by suppressing all these ideologies and imposing one shared progressive worldview on everyone.

01:04:42.000 What needs to happen is...

01:04:43.000 the law needs to follow the trend of decentralization and actually create,

01:04:48.000 and culture needs to create more tolerance for diverse viewpoints because

01:04:52.000 viewpoints are getting more diverse as shared reality breaks down.

01:04:55.000 I see why the centralization is doing that because historically if a culture would

01:05:01.000 permeate or break apart it would be taken over by outside forces.

01:05:04.000 So there they want to make sure it's a strong but if we if we evolve the decentralized system so that it communicates properly with itself, then we should still have similar security to a centralized system.

01:05:15.000 Maybe they really do like that it's breaking down.

01:05:17.000 Maybe it's just a... I mean, look, the Great Reset.

01:05:21.000 It's funny when I see people on Twitter say it's a conspiracy theory, and I'm like, but here's their website.

01:05:26.000 It's the World Economic Forum.

01:05:28.000 It's the Davos Group.

01:05:29.000 It's a bunch of extremely wealthy and powerful individuals around the world saying they're doing this, and they're going to do it, and here's what they're going to do, and they're all woke.

01:05:36.000 Yeah, the conspiracy isn't that it exists.

01:05:38.000 The conspiracy is the actual thing they're doing.

01:05:41.000 It's not a theory.

01:05:42.000 It's a conspiracy fact.

01:05:43.000 A small group of people decided to make some moves and make some stuff happen.

01:05:48.000 I guess conspiracy implies crime.

01:05:50.000 So they're not literally advocating for crimes.

01:05:53.000 They're saying everybody should have a stake in the globe.

01:05:56.000 Look what's happening.

01:05:57.000 The price of wood and steel have skyrocketed.

01:06:01.000 Bacon, coffee, chicken, everything's inflating like crazy.

01:06:04.000 The gold to lumber ratio is nearing one.

01:06:06.000 It's at 1.1 or something.

01:06:07.000 What does that mean exactly?

01:06:08.000 So I don't know exactly, but it's been this way before.

01:06:13.000 It's supposed to be a good sign that there's going to be some kind of normalization, but it does show that lumber is skyrocketing up to gold.

01:06:20.000 Gold isn't going down, so it's inflationary, which means your savings will become worthless.

01:06:26.000 Your salaries will need to go up substantially.

01:06:28.000 But what's going to happen is there's going to be a period where people can't buy things.

01:06:31.000 You're not going to be able to build a new house.

01:06:33.000 You're not going to be able to expand your company and have new projects.

01:06:37.000 There's going to be a very serious recession, maybe even a depression.

01:06:41.000 And that means your savings will be worthless.

01:06:44.000 People need to understand this, man.

01:06:45.000 They don't understand how dangerous it is.

01:06:47.000 It's one of the reasons Doge and Ethereum and Bitcoin are probably skyrocketing.

01:06:51.000 Because not that... Look.

01:06:54.000 I'm sure the meme has a lot to do with it.

01:06:56.000 Dogecoin haha it's so funny.

01:06:57.000 It was at 63 cents or something.

01:06:59.000 67 cents at one point.

01:07:02.000 But it's a lot of people saying, I don't want to have US dollars right now.

01:07:06.000 So what can I do with it?

01:07:08.000 Oh here's a meme.

01:07:09.000 People have confidence in this thing.

01:07:11.000 I'll buy some of that.

01:07:12.000 But Bitcoin and Ethereum have real value.

01:07:14.000 Ethereum as a function, as an actual tool, function for a lot of different services.

01:07:19.000 And Bitcoin just as a digital store of value and first and best dressed.

01:07:24.000 So people are trying to find a way to not hold US dollars.

01:07:27.000 That's certainly my perspective, which is why gold and silver are also on my mind as well.

01:07:34.000 I think people need to understand, if you work right now for one hour, and that one hour of labor gives you enough currency to buy, you know, maybe a meal at a restaurant, if you hold on to that in four months, that will not be able to buy you anything anymore.

01:07:50.000 That money that you had that one point could have bought you that chicken dinner won't be able to buy you even a soda.

01:07:55.000 That's what inflation means.

01:07:57.000 It means the labor you do is constantly being devalued as time goes on.

01:08:01.000 So you need to put your money somewhere where the value is retained, stored, or will increase.

01:08:05.000 And inflation by definition means that it's getting bigger faster.

01:08:09.000 So the less valuable it gets, the faster it gets less valuable.

01:08:14.000 Otherwise it would be a linear deflation.

01:08:18.000 If that's such a thing, a linear deflation.

01:08:19.000 People think it can't happen here.

01:08:21.000 Oh, it can happen.

01:08:22.000 People think it can't happen here.

01:08:23.000 It happened in 1928, 1929.

01:08:25.000 People lost everything.

01:08:26.000 They bought stock on loans, and then when the stocks tanked, they had to pay back loans with money they didn't have.

01:08:32.000 Margin calls.

01:08:33.000 So they called in the loans.

01:08:35.000 They were encouraged to do it by the financial industry.

01:08:37.000 Of course, of course, of course.

01:08:39.000 So you take a look at Weimar, Germany, and the photos of people shoveling worthless marks in the street, you look at Venezuela, it could happen here, and people think it can't, and I'm like, no, it can. 0.94

01:08:49.000 Maybe, we don't know when or why, but it's really amazing how we've had such a long period of sustained prosperity that people just can't fathom I think they're going to do a currency recall, where they say, give us your dollars, and for every dollar you give us, we're going to give you a token of this new currency.

01:09:08.000 And you have two years.

01:09:09.000 After two years, your dollars are worth zero.

01:09:12.000 And that's a hard stop.

01:09:13.000 The funny thing is they can just say that, right?

01:09:15.000 If like, you know, Biden came out right now and said the U.S.

01:09:18.000 dollar is no longer going to be backed by the U.S.

01:09:20.000 government, then people would be like, uh, what are you doing?

01:09:24.000 All those people hiding cash in there under their mattress. 1.00

01:09:27.000 That's the stupidest thing, too. 1.00

01:09:28.000 You saw that story about the grandfather who hid 50 grand in their floorboards? 1.00

01:09:33.000 50 grand, you know, 60, 70 years ago was hundreds of thousands of dollars in buying power.

01:09:38.000 Should have stored some gold in that box.

01:09:41.000 Should have stored some doges. 0.95

01:09:45.000 70 years ago, buy some doge and put it in some cold storage.

01:09:50.000 70 year old dogecoin, yes.

01:09:52.000 That's what you need.

01:09:53.000 In like 20 years.

01:09:55.000 So some people have been saying that dogecoin is going to be cash because it never stops getting printed, right?

01:10:01.000 Oh yeah, that works much better as a currency than Bitcoin does.

01:10:04.000 No doubt.

01:10:05.000 Right, right.

01:10:05.000 So Bitcoin, it's funny because people are saying the current state of Bitcoin defies the original intent of Bitcoin.

01:10:12.000 It's a deflationary currency, though.

01:10:14.000 There's entropy.

01:10:16.000 Coins will slowly just be lost and destroyed, and eventually they can't be produced anymore, so the value can only go up.

01:10:22.000 Doge can be printed and is made forever.

01:10:24.000 So a lot of people are like, that's why Doge is better as a currency, because the money market can expand with the economy.

01:10:30.000 Would it not be the greatest thing ever if one doge became one dollar and it stayed there forever, the buying power of a dollar, right now, and it just normalized?

01:10:40.000 And then in 50 years, people are like, you know, pulling up their phone, like, how much for the Whopper meal?

01:10:46.000 43 doge?

01:10:47.000 Okay.

01:10:47.000 Scan their phones.

01:10:48.000 And it's not even a joke anymore.

01:10:50.000 It's just literally just doge, like, yo, toss me 50 doge, man.

01:10:53.000 I want to go pick up some pizzas.

01:10:55.000 And you're like, all right, dude.

01:10:56.000 And you swipe your phone.

01:10:56.000 You're like, hook it up.

01:10:58.000 They're like, cool, cool.

01:10:59.000 How many Shibu Inus do you think got bought in 2021 so far?

01:11:02.000 Shiba Inus?

01:11:03.000 Is that the type of dog that it is?

01:11:04.000 Yeah, that's the type of dog.

01:11:05.000 How many I think were adopted over the last 12 months?

01:11:07.000 I bet it's increased a lot.

01:11:09.000 Power to the Shibu Inu.

01:11:11.000 It would be funny if Doge becomes the main currency.

01:11:13.000 I don't think it will.

01:11:14.000 I think it's good that Bitcoin has a finite supply so that you can't overinflate it like some crazy guy can't be like, I'm going to print $100 trillion and keep $990 billion of them.

01:11:22.000 What do we think Biden's going to do about crypto?

01:11:24.000 that have finite supplies and you know ahead of time what we're getting into

01:11:28.000 and that's how we'll be able to have an infinite supply.

01:11:30.000 I don't know.

01:11:32.000 What do we think Biden's gonna do about crypto? I think it's more than likely that he's gonna try and clamp down on it

01:11:38.000 Maybe, but I wonder if they're gonna do Fedcoin.

01:11:38.000 some way.

01:11:41.000 You know, they've been talking about the Federal Reserve's gonna make their own crypto.

01:11:44.000 And it was interesting, I was talking to somebody about how banking works anyway.

01:11:49.000 Because like, your bank account, there's no real dollars there.

01:11:52.000 The bank doesn't have the cash.

01:11:55.000 If everybody went to the bank right now and asked for their cash, they'd be like, that cash doesn't exist.

01:12:01.000 It's in your account.

01:12:02.000 You can spend it.

01:12:03.000 You can't physically hold it.

01:12:05.000 So it's a really interesting way to avoid a potential run on the banks, for instance, right?

01:12:09.000 Back in the day, people went to the banks and were like, give me my money, because they were worried the bank loaned too much out and there wouldn't be any available.

01:12:15.000 But now the bank can be like, we can't give you your money, but here's a debit card that still works.

01:12:19.000 You can still buy things with it.

01:12:21.000 Because your money is all digital.

01:12:23.000 And I was talking to someone and they said, I was like, how do they track whether or not the money's actually there?

01:12:27.000 It's just, it's like an archaic kind of blockchain, essentially.

01:12:32.000 That institutions will track money went from this account to this account, and here's the account numbers, and it goes to that account to this account, and there's a ledger showing all the transactions that were made, and that's it.

01:12:40.000 No actual exchange of currency, no hard exchange of any physical object.

01:12:44.000 So then someone makes the blockchain and it's like, they kind of just decentralize what the banks were already doing.

01:12:49.000 Some centralized digital currencies have real value in Venezuela.

01:12:53.000 A lot of people bought and still buy World of Warcraft gold because it was more stable and valuable than the Venezuelan currency.

01:13:00.000 But still, even to this day?

01:13:01.000 Because you can buy gold now on World of Warcraft.

01:13:04.000 Well, that's the thing.

01:13:04.000 They were either farming the gold in World of Warcraft or they were transferring their currency to World of Warcraft gold because World of Warcraft gold was less likely to inflate than Venezuelan bolivars.

01:13:15.000 Yeah, but World of Warcraft gold inflated like crazy.

01:13:18.000 Oh yeah, oh yeah.

01:13:19.000 I'm not saying it's stable, but it was more stable for a time than Venezuela's currency.

01:13:24.000 Wow.

01:13:25.000 That's a very serious indictment of Venezuela.

01:13:27.000 But I wonder when we get hit by that.

01:13:29.000 I was reading one article where some big investor guy said 30% market hit at the end of the year.

01:13:35.000 Of this year?

01:13:36.000 Yeah.

01:13:38.000 So I'm not gonna tell anybody what they should or shouldn't do, but I'm gonna buy a bunch of Ethereum.

01:13:43.000 Yeah.

01:13:43.000 Me too.

01:13:44.000 Big Ethereum update in July.

01:13:46.000 Yeah.

01:13:47.000 Yeah, you were saying they're not going to have mining costs anymore?

01:13:50.000 Yes, they're going to change the way gas fees work.

01:13:53.000 So I don't know all of the details, but it's going to stop going to miners.

01:13:58.000 Miners are not happy about this.

01:13:59.000 And it's going to instead, some of it will be burned with every transaction.

01:14:04.000 So it's going to make Ethereum more deflationary.

01:14:06.000 Oh, so instead of paying the miners, you're paying less of a fee, but the fee is just being... That's very interesting.

01:14:13.000 But the bottom line is they're planning it to make gas fees less wild than they are today.

01:14:19.000 If you can build a way to naturally deflate currency into the currency, that's how you avoid inflation, obviously.

01:14:26.000 It just guarantees it becomes more and more valuable over time because there's less of it.

01:14:30.000 Or it doesn't become less valuable, however you want to look at it.

01:14:32.000 That's really weird.

01:14:34.000 I mean, I do think that there's a possibility that Doge shows us the system is collapsing as well, in that there are people who got rich.

01:14:43.000 For no reason. For a meme.

01:14:43.000 Big time.

01:14:45.000 It's a meme economy.

01:14:47.000 It's almost like labor is essentially meaningless.

01:14:50.000 Think about it this way.

01:14:51.000 Imagine you're a contractor.

01:14:53.000 I'm sure a lot of people watching are contractors.

01:14:55.000 You build pole barns or something, or small structures.

01:14:59.000 And you're like, it's going to cost $10,000 for this simple steel garage you wanted.

01:15:04.000 And the guy goes, uh, hold on, let me sell some doge.

01:15:07.000 Uh, here you go, man.

01:15:08.000 And then you're like, you should give me 10 grand to build this thing for you.

01:15:11.000 And you were like, you're, you're selling doge.

01:15:13.000 What does that mean?

01:15:14.000 Oh yeah, yesterday I bought a bunch of doge and it jumped 30, 30, you know, 30 cents, doubling its value.

01:15:19.000 So now I'm just giving you, I didn't do any work for it, but now you're, you're getting what you want.

01:15:23.000 We are living in that world.

01:15:24.000 There was a moment in January where, in the same day, I was walking through my apartment building.

01:15:29.000 I overheard a conversation between two people.

01:15:31.000 Oh yeah, my Doge investment is doing really well.

01:15:34.000 I went to a restaurant.

01:15:35.000 The waitress was talking about how her boyfriend made $1,000 from Doge.

01:15:38.000 Everyone was talking about it and investing in it.

01:15:41.000 That's why I... Confidence is all that matters.

01:15:44.000 You know, people thought... For a while, people were saying Litecoin was the silver to Bitcoin's gold.

01:15:49.000 And Litecoin is particularly valuable.

01:15:50.000 Bitcoin Cash is up significantly.

01:15:52.000 But it's all about confidence.

01:15:55.000 Bitcoin has confidence.

01:15:56.000 Big companies have invested in Bitcoin infrastructure.

01:15:59.000 Dogecoin has the second most level of confidence, in my opinion.

01:16:03.000 The issue is that there's so much Doge.

01:16:06.000 There's a massive quantity of this.

01:16:09.000 It's probably better to say Ethereum has more confidence, but I think Doge might be even more than Bitcoin, to be honest, for a few reasons.

01:16:18.000 A regular person who looks at Bitcoin and sees $60,000 says, I can't buy it.

01:16:22.000 Because they don't realize that you can buy fragments down to the 8th decimal point.

01:16:28.000 but they see a doge and they're like 60 cents oh i'll put 10 bucks in yeah and doge is so volatile it goes up and down so steeply that there's always going to be like a a significant dip that you can buy in at Dude, it goes up and down so fast because of the meme.

01:16:42.000 There are programs you can buy that's buy and trade on algorithms, and you press start, and at the end of the day, you made 10 grand.

01:16:48.000 Wow.

01:16:48.000 Because what it does is, it has a certain amount of money and a certain amount of doge, and it buys low and sells high automatically.

01:16:55.000 And looks for trends, probably?

01:16:57.000 Like when a tumble will start to happen, it'll get in and out?

01:16:59.000 It's really simple.

01:17:00.000 It's like, doge hits, you know, yeah, so, like, if there's a certain percentage spread, it'll sell when it's high, and then when it dips back down, it'll buy again, and then if it's a certain period of time where it's only going up, it'll just buy in and then sell high, and it keeps doing this, and it keeps increasing the amount of currency and doge you have.

01:17:17.000 So people have been doing this since the inception of cryptocurrencies.

01:17:22.000 I remember back in the day, there was one website, I can't remember what it was called, but they had hundreds of clones of Bitcoin.

01:17:27.000 And people would just make simple programs that would buy and trade.

01:17:32.000 Whenever one would go up, it would go down, they'd buy.

01:17:34.000 When it would go up, they would sell.

01:17:35.000 And they would just do it with all the different currencies.

01:17:37.000 People made a ton of money.

01:17:38.000 I've got to find these Doge algorithms.

01:17:42.000 It's really simple.

01:17:43.000 It's like, if increase 5%, sell.

01:17:45.000 If decrease 5%, buy.

01:17:47.000 It's like really ridiculously simple.

01:17:50.000 And so it just sits there tracking the current price, and it's going up and down, and then it buys, it sells, and then it buys, and it sells, and then it buys, and it slowly goes up, getting you more doge and more cash.

01:18:01.000 That's due to the volatility of Doge.

01:18:02.000 I mean, day traders do this in general.

01:18:05.000 You look for a particular stock you think is going to spike, and then as soon as it does, you sell it immediately, and then move on, and you don't worry about it.

01:18:11.000 I do wonder, like, the Bitcoin bull market's been going on so long.

01:18:17.000 When it goes down, it'll really go down.

01:18:19.000 No.

01:18:20.000 You think not?

01:18:20.000 Nope.

01:18:21.000 I think a Bitcoin, uh, it'll have, it has its periods.

01:18:24.000 Um, it, it, it hits 20k a few years ago and then dropped down to like seven and everyone was like, no!

01:18:29.000 And people, some people mortgaged their homes and they were panicking.

01:18:32.000 And that was a huge mistake.

01:18:34.000 Because if they had just held onto the, onto, onto the Bitcoin, it would be 60.

01:18:38.000 There are people who bought in at $20,000, and when it tanked, panicked and sold.

01:18:42.000 Thinking, I've lost everything!

01:18:43.000 Oh yeah, of course, but my point is, as the market expands, as more people become participants in it, the panics grow more severe.

01:18:51.000 Because there are more people panicking, more people selling.

01:18:55.000 What's going to happen is...

01:18:57.000 So recently I think it dipped down to like 47 in the past couple of weeks.

01:19:00.000 And then a bunch of institutional investors immediately were like, yes!

01:19:04.000 And they bought it all up for discounts.

01:19:06.000 Knowing that it's going to go up, I think a Bitcoin will reach a million dollars.

01:19:11.000 And probably more than that, but I think a million at some point.

01:19:14.000 And I think particularly soon.

01:19:16.000 For two reasons.

01:19:17.000 The buying power of the dollar is dropping dramatically.

01:19:20.000 And the investment into Bitcoin infrastructure is going up dramatically.

01:19:24.000 So that means the value of Ethereum and Bitcoin, they're literally gaining value as more and more people want them.

01:19:30.000 The demand is high.

01:19:31.000 But also, corn is up 44%.

01:19:35.000 So if you're holding a dollar, you can only buy half as much corn.

01:19:39.000 You're holding a Bitcoin, you can buy even more corn.

01:19:42.000 So Bitcoin's gonna go up.

01:19:43.000 It's deflationary.

01:19:44.000 It is a funded amount.

01:19:45.000 Coins are lost every day.

01:19:47.000 Demand is increasing.

01:19:48.000 The price can only go up.

01:19:49.000 And you know what?

01:19:50.000 A one with eight decimal points One Bitcoin, and then you put a period, and then you do eight zeros.

01:19:57.000 You know what would happen if you got rid of that decimal point and put commas?

01:20:01.000 You'd get one million point zero zero.

01:20:04.000 I think Bitcoin will hit a million dollars.

01:20:06.000 So, that's just my opinion.

01:20:07.000 I'm not telling anybody to do anything, but I'll tell you this.

01:20:10.000 You do what you think is right.

01:20:11.000 You talk to your financial advisor.

01:20:13.000 I'm gonna buy crypto.

01:20:14.000 I'm also gonna buy... You know what I invest in?

01:20:17.000 Things I can use.

01:20:19.000 Because I'll tell you one thing.

01:20:20.000 An investment into a cryptocurrency, or gold, or silver, or anything like that, is an investment predicated upon your belief the system will not collapse.

01:20:30.000 The dollar may lose value, inflation may happen, but you do believe you'll still be able to trade within the system.

01:20:37.000 If you're actually worried about the apocalypse, then you need to invest in like a well.

01:20:42.000 Water tanks, 30-year bins of beans.

01:20:47.000 Bunker.

01:20:48.000 I'll tell you, imagine going to the apocalypse and you're like, please, sir, I need water.

01:20:48.000 Yeah, bunker.

01:20:54.000 I've got a Bitcoin.

01:20:55.000 He's gonna be like, I don't care how many Bitcoin you got.

01:20:58.000 Like, water is life.

01:21:00.000 Someone's gonna walk up and be like, yo, I've got a sandwich.

01:21:02.000 And they're gonna be like, let's divide and trade the sandwich, because food is more important.

01:21:07.000 Yeah, there are companies that, uh, sell luxury bunkers to people here in America.

01:21:11.000 Oh yeah, yeah, there's like, there's old converted silos.

01:21:14.000 They're beautiful.

01:21:14.000 Oh yeah.

01:21:15.000 I watched, I think I was watching a Mr. Beast episode.

01:21:15.000 Yeah.

01:21:18.000 You ever watch Mr. Beast?

01:21:19.000 Where, I think it was Mr. Beast, he goes to one of these bunker silos.

01:21:23.000 It's, it's creepy stuff.

01:21:25.000 But they're like, they're like five foot concrete reinforced because they were meant for, you know, missiles that wouldn't be blown up if they were, you know, missile strike or whatever.

01:21:34.000 And there's like, there was a beach room where the walls are painted.

01:21:37.000 Then they have like bedrooms with TVs for windows.

01:21:41.000 So you can see out outside.

01:21:43.000 Yeah, that's cool stuff.

01:21:44.000 Yeah.

01:21:45.000 Some people went into like their bunkers, their luxury bunkers when COVID started.

01:21:48.000 They thought the apocalypse was here.

01:21:50.000 Wow.

01:21:51.000 Yeah.

01:21:51.000 What other good things to get if you're expecting that?

01:21:53.000 Like solar, I would think, like just some sort of like renewable energy electricity source and like a ham radio or something.

01:22:00.000 Some way to generate electricity.

01:22:01.000 Yeah, I know that.

01:22:02.000 Don't rely on fossil fuels.

01:22:03.000 Like solar yesterday we were talking about, but it's not really feasible as like a society's functioning electricity source.

01:22:09.000 Not really a little bit.

01:22:10.000 Solar?

01:22:11.000 Yeah.

01:22:11.000 But if all of a sudden we couldn't pay our electric bill because U.S.

01:22:14.000 dollars were so deflated in value that you can't even get them anymore.

01:22:18.000 That wouldn't happen, right?

01:22:19.000 So the issue is, the value of the currency will work to a certain degree within the country.

01:22:25.000 It won't work for imports.

01:22:27.000 So if your country is dependent upon importing certain goods, then you're in serious trouble.

01:22:31.000 But trade between two individuals within the country is probably going to be fine.

01:22:36.000 So the issue for a place like Venezuela is that they're dependent on a bunch of external

01:22:41.000 corporations like for flight, for travel, for transport, and it's increasingly becoming

01:22:45.000 true for a lot of countries that you're dependent upon other countries' goods and services.

01:22:50.000 So, that being said, so long as you don't have a command economy like Venezuela, your farms will probably still produce, and they'll have to adjust prices for the things, you know, that they need to produce the stuff.

01:23:02.000 It could make it so that you have to work harder to get food, for sure, but you'll still be able to get electricity.

01:23:08.000 Are we importing a bunch of lumber?

01:23:08.000 Lumber.

01:23:09.000 Is that why it went up so much?

01:23:10.000 I do think we import lumber.

01:23:12.000 I do.

01:23:12.000 But I think we import a lot of it, actually.

01:23:14.000 I'm not entirely sure.

01:23:15.000 Supply shortages.

01:23:15.000 You can use hemp.

01:23:16.000 I think you can use hemp.

01:23:17.000 I don't know if it's an exact duplication of wood.

01:23:20.000 Like, you're not going to get exactly what you get out of wood with hemp.

01:23:22.000 But hemp fiber, you can kind of constitute for wood, I've heard.

01:23:26.000 And it grows fast.

01:23:28.000 Hemp does.

01:23:29.000 Well, the housing market is blowing up right now, so I mean, that might be why the lumber... What do you mean, like prices are skyrocketing?

01:23:35.000 Prices are skyrocketing, yeah, yeah.

01:23:36.000 That's inflation.

01:23:37.000 Yeah.

01:23:38.000 And people are building houses.

01:23:39.000 People are building houses, yep.

01:23:41.000 Well, yeah, and here's the other thing that's going to happen.

01:23:43.000 Because the cost of lumber and steel is so high, the cost to build a house is going to go up dramatically, which is going to drive the price of everyone else's houses way up.

01:23:51.000 Now, here's the crazy thing.

01:23:53.000 Sounds like an acid bubble to me.

01:23:54.000 Yeah, well, check this out.

01:23:56.000 Let's say you buy a house for $200,000 and you bought it, you know, five years ago.

01:24:00.000 Now the U.S.

01:24:00.000 dollar is inflating like crazy, you still owe $200,000.

01:24:04.000 If the buying power of that dollar is dramatically reduced, that means you owe less labor on your loan, and then your house is gonna skyrocket in value because of inflation.

01:24:14.000 So when you hear these people say, don't worry, inflation's a good thing, I guess, you know, for Americans, because we basically control the petrodollar, Might actually be.

01:24:25.000 Now your savings will be completely decimated.

01:24:28.000 That's bad.

01:24:28.000 Your asset value through the roof.

01:24:31.000 The hard assets will retain their value.

01:24:31.000 Yep.

01:24:34.000 And what'll happen is, I'll put it this way.

01:24:37.000 Ian, if I owe you a dollar, right now a dollar can buy a candy bar.

01:24:42.000 I say that basically I owe the amount of labor to produce one candy bar to Ian.

01:24:47.000 I'm gonna wait a year.

01:24:48.000 Now a dollar can't buy a candy bar anymore.

01:24:51.000 It can only buy a quarter of a candy bar.

01:24:55.000 I owe you less physical goods.

01:24:56.000 So are they gonna enforce, like, yeah, we know you said you were gonna owe 100 grand, but that 100 grand's worth 400 grand, so you owe us 400.

01:25:03.000 Nope.

01:25:04.000 They can't do that?

01:25:04.000 They can't do that.

01:25:05.000 I mean, I guess if somebody has, like, a fixed variable loan, they can, like, drive the variable rate up for some reason or whatever, but I don't know how that works, so.

01:25:11.000 But, yeah, if you owe, $100,000 on your house, and then the currency inflates.

01:25:18.000 And then within a year, it hyper inflates.

01:25:21.000 Imagine people are shoveling money into the street because it's worthless.

01:25:24.000 You go to your bank and you're like, uh, here's the money I owe you.

01:25:27.000 And you just shovel it off from the ground and throw it at them.

01:25:30.000 So the system can't work that way.

01:25:31.000 People will take out loans to buy assets.

01:25:33.000 And then when the asset triples in price, they'll, they'll sell off half of it, pay back the loan with a profit.

01:25:39.000 Take out a rinse, repeat, age old Ponzi scheme.

01:25:42.000 I can't remember which outlet it was.

01:25:45.000 It was an investor outlet.

01:25:46.000 It said, the good news for inflation is it means that your wages are going to start skyrocketing as well.

01:25:51.000 And I'm like, it's funny that you think that's good news.

01:25:53.000 It's good news for people with no savings.

01:25:55.000 You got nothing to worry about.

01:25:56.000 You got no savings.

01:25:57.000 Nothing's going to collapse on you.

01:25:59.000 So it is technically a good thing.

01:26:02.000 Now, for a lot of people who are, like, middle class, who have a decent savings, no real hard assets, it's pretty bad for you.

01:26:09.000 So, you don't want to be holding... Well, I'm not going to give anyone advice on what you should do, but I'll just say I would not want to be holding U.S. 0.96

01:26:14.000 dollars, which is kind of a problem, because, you know, you use it for everyday interactions.

01:26:18.000 But, for poor people, they're probably not going to notice.

01:26:21.000 They're going to be like, the prices are going up.

01:26:23.000 They're going to go to their job.

01:26:24.000 The business is going to have to do it.

01:26:24.000 I need a raise.

01:26:25.000 Then, you know, they work at Walmart.

01:26:27.000 Then Walmart's going to have to increase the cost of goods across the board to pay higher salaries or to pay higher hourly wages.

01:26:34.000 And then the people who have a loan out on their car are going to be like, wow, when I took this loan out for $10,000, I was making 10 bucks an hour.

01:26:40.000 Six months later, I'm making 20 bucks an hour.

01:26:43.000 My loan was basically cut in half in terms of the amount of work I have to do to pay it off.

01:26:46.000 So, hey.

01:26:48.000 Win for certain people, I guess.

01:26:49.000 And then everyone else around the world will be forced to contend with our hyperinflation because we're America!

01:26:53.000 We'll blow them up!

01:26:54.000 So, banks, that would put a lot of burden on the banks that send out the loans.

01:26:57.000 So, would you expect that banks will stop giving out loans?

01:27:01.000 Say that one more time.

01:27:03.000 If the burden then would fall on the banks that loaned you $50,000 that's now only worth $25,000 when you pay it back.

01:27:08.000 Yeah, that's their problem.

01:27:08.000 Does that mean that they're going to stop handing out loans because of that potential risk?

01:27:12.000 It happens before a... If there's hyperinflation?

01:27:12.000 Is that normal?

01:27:15.000 Yeah, maybe.

01:27:16.000 Another question this gets into is how long will America be able to just go around the world blowing up small countries without any serious opposition?

01:27:16.000 Maybe.

01:27:23.000 China's rising very, very quickly.

01:27:24.000 Yep.

01:27:25.000 Not long.

01:27:26.000 I don't think not long.

01:27:27.000 15 years.

01:27:27.000 Yeah, I actually tend to be a... 15?

01:27:30.000 You mean 7?

01:27:32.000 Maybe.

01:27:32.000 2028 is when they're expecting China to overtake the U.S.' 's economy.

01:27:35.000 We know about Thucydides' trap, so...

01:27:40.000 What were you going to say, Alan?

01:27:40.000 I don't know.

01:27:42.000 I think China can be a little bit overrated.

01:27:45.000 If you look at history, rising powers often don't beat the declining power because the declining power tends to have more allies and more diplomatic clout that it's built up over many years of being the dominant power.

01:27:57.000 This is exactly what happened with Britain and Germany. 0.90

01:28:00.000 Germany was on course to overtake Britain, its industrial capacity, before World War I. But Britain won because it had more allies, had an empire, had been around for longer, had all of those diplomatic resources that it turned into these alliances and it was able to beat Germany through a coalition.

01:28:19.000 You look at China China's sort of on its own because America will have Japan Taiwan Maybe South Korea South Korea might not want to get involved because you know It's much more vulnerable than say Japan trip by the ocean But America will have a lot more if it came to like a confrontation with China America would have a lot more allies and what allies would China really have Russia.

01:28:40.000 It comes down to Russia again, the great wild card. 0.90

01:28:42.000 Like if Hitler hadn't invaded Russia, he would have won the war. 0.90

01:28:45.000 It's seemingly, at least that the math kind of shows that.

01:28:47.000 Well, if he didn't hesitate, there was that famous battle or whatever, where he, his, I can't remember exactly what happened.

01:28:53.000 Stalingrad.

01:28:53.000 No, no, no, Moscow, Moscow.

01:28:55.000 They were, they were like a hundred miles outside Moscow and then they said divert to Stalingrad, something like that.

01:28:59.000 They hesitated allowing Russia to generate reinforcements.

01:29:03.000 Essentially, yes.

01:29:04.000 They could have taken Moscow, but they decided to go elsewhere.

01:29:07.000 Man.

01:29:08.000 Well, hubris, I guess.

01:29:10.000 He thought he could do what Napoleon couldn't.

01:29:13.000 But if Russia gets involved, then you could potentially start a whole domino effect where Europe gets involved as well, and then you have like a genuine world war on your hands.

01:29:20.000 Right.

01:29:21.000 Yeah.

01:29:22.000 So invest in a bunker, I guess.

01:29:24.000 Yeah, invest in love with your friends and family.

01:29:26.000 We had a guy on from a place called Fortitude Ranch, and they called in their members in October, just before the election, saying the potential for volatility is higher than normal.

01:29:40.000 I don't think they really expected the world to end, but they put out a call, like, a decently high single-digit percentage of something bad happening.

01:29:50.000 You know, genuine fear that, yeah, something... Look, this instability is not going to go away.

01:29:56.000 You know why?

01:29:56.000 I mean, you make a good point about the media being the problem.

01:30:00.000 Brian Stelter is a dangerous guy.

01:30:02.000 I think, you know, Cuomo is probably worse, but he is because he's trying to make sure that everyone stays agitated, anxious, and suffering from anxiety attacks all the time.

01:30:13.000 Like, January 6th is over, dude.

01:30:15.000 It's not happening anymore.

01:30:16.000 It happened.

01:30:17.000 It's gone away.

01:30:18.000 But he wants to make sure these people only stare at this, and these hearings, and people are just shaking, terrified of the far right.

01:30:25.000 Meanwhile, there actually is a problem of far leftists going around, rioting, protesting, burning down buildings.

01:30:31.000 And they ignore that.

01:30:33.000 So he's keeping people distracted from the real problems while keeping them in a consistent panic attack state over something that happened four months ago.

01:30:39.000 He looks like the Joker, kind of, his mouth.

01:30:42.000 Do you guys ever notice that?

01:30:43.000 The ends of his mouth go up like the Joker's smile.

01:30:46.000 Brian Stelter.

01:30:47.000 Hey, don't compliment the guy.

01:30:49.000 The Joker's cool.

01:30:50.000 I don't like even making fun of him.

01:30:52.000 The Joker's lit.

01:30:53.000 No, no Joker was a bad guy.

01:30:54.000 Um, I don't want to make fun of people for their appearances ever, but I've noticed that smile.

01:30:59.000 Is that like a hysterical, like not, not a happy smile, but like a psychotic, like what is he smiling about?

01:31:06.000 If he's so afraid, I don't get it.

01:31:09.000 Let's go to Super Chats!

01:31:22.000 after the show around 11 p.m.

01:31:23.000 We put it up every day.

01:31:24.000 We have a huge library of content, some of your favorite people talking about just fun and crazy stuff and some

01:31:28.000 serious stuff as well.

01:31:30.000 But don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to this channel.

01:31:33.000 Let's read.

01:31:34.000 We got Austin Norton.

01:31:35.000 He says, Ethereum is now above $3,500 USD, a new all-time high.

01:31:41.000 ETH to the moon. 0.98

01:31:44.000 I wonder if it's because Ethereum people are discovering it, or if it's because the dollar is garbage. 0.70

01:31:49.000 Yeah, maybe a little bit of both.

01:31:51.000 Does the chat think the joke was based or not based?

01:31:55.000 Type 1 for based.

01:31:57.000 Alright, let's see what we got here.

01:31:58.000 Christian Jim Gochian says, Tim, conservatives protest with their wallets.

01:32:02.000 Coke goes woke, they make it go broke.

01:32:04.000 The bottom line changes. Companies change tune.

01:32:06.000 Money talks, BS walks.

01:32:08.000 Corporate profit owns the US government.

01:32:11.000 I mean, I hear that, but I don't think conservatives are organized enough to actually stage effective boycotts.

01:32:18.000 However, there's rumors about Gina Carano coming back to Disney+, so maybe, and the Coke thing for sure. 0.99

01:32:24.000 I think that stuff will happen long-term.

01:32:26.000 Alternative companies for all sorts of things.

01:32:28.000 I think we should start building the infrastructure.

01:32:31.000 Kenny Jackson says, SN15 stuck its landing.

01:32:34.000 I saw that.

01:32:35.000 That's crazy.

01:32:36.000 Starship?

01:32:37.000 Elon Musk's Starship?

01:32:38.000 Yeah, what happened?

01:32:39.000 It did an altitude test, came back down and landed.

01:32:39.000 It landed.

01:32:41.000 Nice.

01:32:42.000 That's crazy.

01:32:43.000 That's massive.

01:32:44.000 Brought some dough coin back from the moon.

01:32:48.000 Mediocre Fisherman says, would you rather have 100 dogs of any kind or 100 cats?

01:32:53.000 That's a tough call.

01:32:56.000 It's tough.

01:32:57.000 The cats, I would have to worry about.

01:32:58.000 So it depends on what I need them for or what they're doing.

01:33:01.000 If I'm like trying to conquer a small village, the dogs for sure.

01:33:05.000 Yes.

01:33:06.000 If I'm just chilling and minding my own business, the cats.

01:33:08.000 Heck yeah.

01:33:09.000 They just go do their thing and whatever.

01:33:11.000 The question said have, what were you going to say?

01:33:13.000 I'll take the cats.

01:33:14.000 Cats can look out for themselves.

01:33:15.000 Dogs require constant attention.

01:33:17.000 Yeah, cat.

01:33:18.000 Because if you had to keep them inside, the cat pee would be better than the dog poop.

01:33:21.000 But you can train dogs to attack your enemies.

01:33:23.000 So, you know, in the apocalypse scenario, you'd want the dogs.

01:33:26.000 Yeah.

01:33:27.000 OMG Puppy says, Democrats expand federal power, permanent one party rule, long march through the institutions.

01:33:34.000 GOP, we will lower your taxes, which is meaningless in the long run.

01:33:41.000 Rdubu says, ORLAG, Oregon legislation, passed egregious anti-gun SB554 today with the help of sellout rhinos. 0.90

01:33:51.000 Now to Fuhrer Brown's desk to sign.

01:33:55.000 Voting, Collapsitarian from here on out.

01:33:58.000 Establishment can win the slow game.

01:34:00.000 Let's see how fast they can dance. 1.00

01:34:03.000 Not enough people are willing to challenge the system.

01:34:07.000 They're still defending cops, like I mentioned.

01:34:10.000 A cop walks into a woman's shop, which is closed, and tells her to stop posting to Facebook that she's selling things.

01:34:17.000 She would have been allowed to do that from her house, but it was just because she was working out of the business.

01:34:20.000 I don't think it matters.

01:34:22.000 I think it's irrelevant.

01:34:23.000 The fact is her business was closed because they said, you're not allowed to be open.

01:34:26.000 We're shut down.

01:34:27.000 And so she's like, I'll post a video on Facebook.

01:34:29.000 And the cops showed up and said, you got to, you got to stop doing this because we talking about my store's closed.

01:34:33.000 And they're like, no, you're on Facebook.

01:34:35.000 And then people are like, back to blue, baby.

01:34:37.000 I love it when the cops came and shut down Attila's gym.

01:34:40.000 And we even had the dude from Attila's on and they apologized to the cops.

01:34:43.000 No, no, don't get mad at them.

01:34:44.000 They're just doing their jobs.

01:34:45.000 I'm like, what are you talking about?

01:34:47.000 Just doing it.

01:34:47.000 What's.

01:34:48.000 They're going to look back at us like barbarians in 500, 600 years.

01:34:52.000 They're going to look back like this is like the year 300 AD.

01:34:55.000 and we're like savages.

01:34:56.000 Why?

01:34:57.000 Because this is so pedantic to use. 0.97

01:34:59.000 This is so ridiculous that we're still trying to climb on top of each other for money. 0.99

01:35:06.000 It's it's hideous. 0.98

01:35:07.000 It's not the way societies or living organisms are meant to function.

01:35:11.000 I mean, if free thinking people lose and the authoritarian regime takes over, You know, I want to make sure everyone understands something.

01:35:21.000 They say every time communism has been tried, it's failed.

01:35:24.000 You know that?

01:35:26.000 Every time communism... But it's not real communism.

01:35:29.000 Well, it's never real communism.

01:35:31.000 But the next time communism is tried, it will win.

01:35:34.000 It will work.

01:35:36.000 You know why?

01:35:37.000 Because it's never been tried before.

01:35:38.000 No, because of the surveillance state.

01:35:41.000 The one thing that they didn't have was supreme control.

01:35:44.000 They can stop the thought before it happens.

01:35:47.000 How could any citizen of China organize against China?

01:35:50.000 Unless, of course, they can't maintain a basic standard of goods if there is a lack of access to food, which is why a lot of the Soviets, the communist states, failed.

01:36:01.000 But I think the ability to manipulate and propagandize at a level never seen before, and the ability to track down and remove dissidents immediately, We'll make sure the next communist regime functions. 0.62

01:36:13.000 Or can't be toppled.

01:36:14.000 Can you imagine if they were like reading your brain impulses with neural net and like, oh, this guy has signs that he's going to start thinking bad thoughts in three months.

01:36:22.000 We got to get to him.

01:36:22.000 Pre-crime, bro.

01:36:24.000 Pre-crime.

01:36:26.000 Oh yeah, Minority Report.

01:36:28.000 That's the movie.

01:36:29.000 Unqualified Studio says, Hey Tim, we took your comments about creating culture to heart and launched a brand based off of that mission.

01:36:34.000 We'd love it if you'd check us out.

01:36:37.000 Right on.

01:36:37.000 We will take a look.

01:36:39.000 Jack O'Neill says, Tim, why are you sleeping on Stargate SG-1?

01:36:42.000 The TV show was amazing, but the movie was bad.

01:36:45.000 I'll take a look at the show.

01:36:46.000 SG-1 does come on after Sliders periodically on Comet, I think.

01:36:50.000 Is that MacGyver?

01:36:51.000 Richard Dean Anderson?

01:36:52.000 Was he in that?

01:36:53.000 Or was he in the movie?

01:36:54.000 I don't know, I've not seen SG-1.

01:36:55.000 One of them was in the movie.

01:36:58.000 Sonny James says, do people really think Zuck and Gates are geniuses?

01:37:01.000 No, the federal government built those companies up in exchange for backdoor access.

01:37:05.000 Look, no further than the feds using FB and Instagram to track down capital rioters.

01:37:09.000 That's your user agreement, folks.

01:37:11.000 You know what I love?

01:37:12.000 There's a meme where it's like, Joe Rogan makes comment about vaccine.

01:37:16.000 Joe Rogan, who's not a doctor, makes, you know, says, you know, young people shouldn't take the vaccine.

01:37:20.000 And the next one next to it is Bill Gates.

01:37:22.000 Five things Bill Gates wants you to know about the vaccine.

01:37:24.000 Dr. Bill Gates, MD.

01:37:26.000 Yeah, Dr. Bill Gates.

01:37:27.000 It was the same paper that put those articles out, too.

01:37:32.000 Fauci is a TV doctor.

01:37:33.000 People need to realize this.

01:37:35.000 He's not practicing.

01:37:36.000 He's not practicing.

01:37:36.000 He's a TV doctor, okay?

01:37:39.000 Talk to your doctor to find out what's right for you.

01:37:43.000 It's remarkable that you have people on one side being like, Dr. Fauci action figures!

01:37:47.000 There's like a Dr. Fauci pizza, someone posted this, where it's like, it's a face on a pizza with onions and olives, and I'm like, these people are insane!

01:37:56.000 And then I'm just like, dude, I don't care if you're Joe Rogan, MD, Dr. Oz, Dr. Drew, Dr. Phil, or Dr. Fauci.

01:38:07.000 I'm not going to go to the TV to figure out what I should be doing with my health.

01:38:10.000 I'm going to call a doctor, and guess what?

01:38:11.000 There's something called a second opinion.

01:38:13.000 Go call a million doctors.

01:38:13.000 Yeah.

01:38:15.000 Well, not even a million.

01:38:15.000 This is your life.

01:38:16.000 I mean a couple.

01:38:17.000 It's normal.

01:38:18.000 Like, I had to get a dental thing done a few years ago, and I called the dentist, like, what do you think?

01:38:22.000 Let me call another dentist. 0.90

01:38:22.000 We'll do this. 0.90

01:38:24.000 I'm like, okay.

01:38:24.000 We'll do this.

01:38:25.000 I got a second opinion.

01:38:26.000 Great.

01:38:27.000 It's a normal thing.

01:38:27.000 Breakthrough you always got to keep your eyes open yet. Why is it so hard for people to say don't listen to TV doctors

01:38:34.000 Well, honestly, do you have a reason because I think people are like herd

01:38:39.000 We're like herd animals in a way 90 90% of us are just wired to follow the crowd

01:38:43.000 Yeah, why do they make people into cult figures so easily?

01:38:46.000 Trump we have a president the wall murals everyone so many wall murals our government is a cult

01:38:52.000 It's centered around one human and we well it's a pic who we want to call you're talking about just confidence in a

01:38:58.000 system But the way we built it is all around one individual. Like

01:39:01.000 why do we worship the individual like that?

01:39:03.000 Why are people will just want to tune out and let that guy lead us to victory

01:39:06.000 We don't well a lot of I don't a lot of people do I think you have they're listening to the TV

01:39:11.000 I I think they trust Just call.

01:39:14.000 Quomo on Andrew Cuomo more than they trust the president of the United States people in California were wearing shirts saying like What did it say it was like single taken dating Cuomo in my mind or something like these shirts?

01:39:27.000 Yeah, I don't call themselves Cuomo sexuals no joke Yeah, that's crazy. 0.99

01:39:33.000 And that wasn't the president, that's just people who are nuts. 0.98

01:39:36.000 I know, some countries that are led by actual strongmen or alleged strongmen are sometimes saner than America. 0.96

01:39:42.000 You wouldn't catch drag queen story hour happening in Russia.

01:39:45.000 Yeah, no, that'd be bad.

01:39:47.000 That's where the kids were twerking?

01:39:49.000 No, not where the kids were.

01:39:51.000 People were twerking for kids or something?

01:39:52.000 Yeah, yeah, but there have been a bunch of instances where kids are brought on stage to do shows for adults.

01:39:58.000 Image JPEG says Bitcoin Cash hit $14.80 today.

01:40:02.000 A world currency isn't going to be Doge.

01:40:04.000 It'll either be Bitcoin Cash or Monero or both.

01:40:07.000 Yeah, so there was a Bitcoin forked.

01:40:11.000 From Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash.

01:40:13.000 And that means that if you had Bitcoin at the time, you had the equal amount of Bitcoin Cash.

01:40:16.000 I had that, yeah.

01:40:17.000 And then Bitcoin Cash, like, I think it hit like 10 or 20 grand or some ridiculous number and then dropped way down to like 300.

01:40:23.000 Because people didn't know which one was going to win out.

01:40:26.000 They're like, which one is going to be the dominant?

01:40:29.000 Because Bitcoin Cash is supposed to be low fees and fast transactions, like cash.

01:40:33.000 And Bitcoin had become basically gold.

01:40:35.000 So, I think, you know, you get both.

01:40:37.000 You get free money.

01:40:39.000 All right.

01:40:41.000 Talbot Link says, Wikipedia totally defamed Tim.

01:40:44.000 Said he had a Zeppelin.

01:40:45.000 Everyone knows that graphene rocket blimps are where it's at.

01:40:48.000 Best way to the moon.

01:40:49.000 We're actually working on a Zeppelin project.

01:40:50.000 Rocket blimps, huh?

01:40:52.000 Yeah, rocket blimp.

01:40:53.000 How would that work?

01:40:54.000 I don't know.

01:40:54.000 We are working on a Zeppelin.

01:40:57.000 Yeah, actually, it's just a matter of some paperwork at this point.

01:41:00.000 That's right.

01:41:01.000 And then we're going to film it for the vlog over at Cast Castle, and we're going to have the Zeppelin project with cameras on it, and we're going to go film, and then it will be real.

01:41:08.000 It's a big Zeppelin, too.

01:41:09.000 Yeah, it was at 18 and a half, I think.

01:41:12.000 Big ol' Zeppelin.

01:41:13.000 Yeah.

01:41:18.000 All right, let's see.

01:41:19.000 Is there something about Doge?

01:41:20.000 What do we got going on here?

01:41:22.000 Curtis says, everyone loves crypto, but if it keeps going like it is, hardware will rise to insane levels.

01:41:28.000 My 3080 mines $15 a day right now.

01:41:31.000 Imagine if ETA hits $20k.

01:41:33.000 Home computing will be a thing of the past.

01:41:35.000 We were talking about mining last night.

01:41:37.000 Yeah, but people don't realize it's expensive because you use a lot of electricity.

01:41:40.000 Yeah, people were saying it's not the future of crypto creation.

01:41:44.000 Yeah, it's archaic.

01:41:44.000 Yeah, mining.

01:41:46.000 It was like have your computer work hard to solve an equation so that there's it was like creating arbitrary work to make a digital asset work.

01:41:52.000 There's other ways to do it.

01:41:54.000 Yeah, proof of stake, right?

01:41:55.000 That doesn't require mining at all.

01:41:56.000 Yeah, I'm still do you can you explain what that is?

01:41:59.000 No, okay, kind of over my head.

01:42:00.000 Maybe tomorrow we'll talk about But that's a reference to holding crypto and then you get a percentage generated.

01:42:07.000 So Ethereum is, I think it's, what did Bill say, of 32?

01:42:10.000 Ethereum.

01:42:10.000 You stake it and then as a holder, as Ethereum is generated, you get a percentage increase.

01:42:15.000 Right, yeah, okay, now it's ringing a bell.

01:42:16.000 You can do this with other cryptos as well.

01:42:18.000 You can stake a certain amount of Ethereum or whatever currency and that proof of stake will, as long as you keep it there, it's going to generate more.

01:42:24.000 It's like interest in a bank account.

01:42:26.000 So your ownership of the asset increases the value of the asset itself.

01:42:31.000 Increases the amount.

01:42:32.000 It's like having a bank account.

01:42:33.000 It's like having your money in wealth management or whatever with an interest rate increase.

01:42:40.000 Eric Miller says Trump should run for Congress.

01:42:43.000 He will have to be unbanned from social media and they don't have term limits, but after Trump, maybe they will.

01:42:48.000 They'll still keep him banned.

01:42:48.000 I don't know about that.

01:42:50.000 They didn't unban Laura Loomer.

01:42:52.000 Sonny James says, China holds our debt. 0.57

01:42:55.000 When there's no gold in Fort Knox, land and resources become collateral.

01:42:59.000 Don't people realize printing money ain't free?

01:43:01.000 You'll own nothing and have no privacy.

01:43:03.000 Yuri Bezmenov did say the elites won't get off, but... Jack made?

01:43:07.000 What is that?

01:43:08.000 Jack Ma.

01:43:09.000 Oh, Jack Ma'd.

01:43:10.000 Okay, I see what he's saying.

01:43:12.000 And who disappeared, basically.

01:43:13.000 Jack Ma.

01:43:14.000 I think he did a video chat a couple weeks ago.

01:43:16.000 If they can take away your memory, if they can erase the culture of freedom and classical liberalism and things like that, then people will be happy with no privacy.

01:43:26.000 If they don't know any better, you know, we got, we got, we got chickens outside, right?

01:43:31.000 Their whole lives has just been in this one little box.

01:43:34.000 They know nothing of the outside world and it's, and it's troubles.

01:43:38.000 And they're either happy or sad based on whether or not I throw a mealworm at them.

01:43:42.000 If they understood, you know, freedom.

01:43:44.000 I mean, actually, so Bucko is an outside cat now.

01:43:47.000 And he did not know the joys of the, of the real world.

01:43:49.000 Cause he was never allowed outside.

01:43:51.000 Just discovered it out of Plato's cave.

01:43:53.000 And yeah, exactly.

01:43:54.000 Exactly.

01:43:54.000 And so I'm wondering, like, did we curse him with the knowledge of freedom?

01:43:58.000 Cause no, no, the first, the first week he's like running around like crazy chasing the butterflies.

01:44:03.000 Now he says he just sits on the porch and he just, you know, sits there and stares.

01:44:06.000 We got back today and he was in the clubhouse out back and he went, ah!

01:44:09.000 I came running out to us.

01:44:11.000 He's probably peeing in there.

01:44:12.000 Yeah, I was thinking that too. 1.00

01:44:13.000 Little jerk. 0.99

01:44:15.000 All right, Oompa Loompa says, SEC Chairman Gensler is going before Congress to expose Citadel's unfair trading practices tomorrow. 1.00

01:44:22.000 Bring your popcorn.

01:44:23.000 This could be the catalyst that initiates a second wave of short squeezes against hedge funds with massive short positions.

01:44:29.000 So is that GameStop to the moon?

01:44:31.000 Is that what's going to happen?

01:44:32.000 Perhaps.

01:44:36.000 All right, where we at here?

01:44:38.000 Rebel Phoenix says, let's fight cancel culture and start buying everything that might get canceled because capitalism is the perfect solution to the problem.

01:44:45.000 Nobody will cancel anything when they are making millions.

01:44:48.000 Gotta organize.

01:44:49.000 That's the issue.

01:44:50.000 The left has so many organizations that tell people what to do and they just do it.

01:44:55.000 So you get, a company will be like, it'll send out a mass email to a million people saying, Hey, everybody email Coke and tell them they're racist.

01:45:02.000 And they will.

01:45:03.000 And then Coke gets hit by a million emails and they go, we better do something about this.

01:45:07.000 They'll make it even easier.

01:45:08.000 They'll have a, like, click this button and it'll open a form letter to them, for them, with all the stuff texted there for them.

01:45:13.000 And then the, you know, email membership guy or whatever at Coke, he's like, we have 53,000 emails in the past hour.

01:45:23.000 What do we do?

01:45:24.000 It's like, what are they about?

01:45:25.000 They're all mad about how we said, you know, we supported Georgia.

01:45:28.000 And we're going to put out a statement right now and denounce it.

01:45:32.000 Yeah, also this whole, you know, business will follow profit thing, I mean, underestimates how zealously the corporate elites actually believe this stuff.

01:45:40.000 Gillette lost, you know, an insane amount of money with their woke staff and the CEO still said, well, you know, we still stand by our woke values.

01:45:49.000 Alan Rogers says, Ian, did you just hear about Smedley Butler?

01:45:53.000 Or do you honestly think it's 1917 and there's more money exchanging hands between the government and defense contractors than the government and media?

01:46:00.000 Handyman TN says, Ian, you're so close.

01:46:02.000 They're not selling bullets, they're selling airplanes.

01:46:04.000 Scott Horton explains this in great detail on his YouTube channel in small, three-minute-ish videos.

01:46:09.000 It's fantastic.

01:46:10.000 Thank you.

01:46:10.000 I'm looking up Smedley Butler right now.

01:46:12.000 I'd never heard of him before.

01:46:13.000 Yeah, the banker plot.

01:46:14.000 Old gimlet eye.

01:46:15.000 Yeah, the old banker plot.

01:46:17.000 Blastcat Badger says, Iraq, Afghanistan.

01:46:20.000 In Iraq, we found nuclear processing and waste facilities with tons of stuff in them.

01:46:20.000 Vet here.

01:46:25.000 Other government agencies came in after we secured it.

01:46:27.000 Have not heard a word about it since.

01:46:29.000 Something that alarms me to this day.

01:46:30.000 Ooh, creepy.

01:46:32.000 Eli M. says, can we have a Ian Lives Matter shirt?

01:46:36.000 I guess.

01:46:37.000 Well, definitely.

01:46:39.000 Dorsey Wood says, Tim, Tex, and Rabble, thanks for working out login issues on TimCast.com.

01:46:45.000 Sent digital art in last email to member support, same name.

01:46:47.000 Will send framed print, just let me know where to send it in a response.

01:46:51.000 Isn't the PO box on the website?

01:46:53.000 Yeah, under contact, I think.

01:46:54.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:46:55.000 Yeah, so apologies to everybody.

01:46:59.000 As I've stated before, for the TimCast.com website, we did not expect it to grow as quickly as it did, and it's not easy to just snap our fingers and have a website that can handle the amount of traffic and the amount of members and everything, so we've had problems.

01:47:11.000 We're working on it.

01:47:13.000 People have canceled, and I apologize if you felt the need to cancel because something wasn't working.

01:47:19.000 But I get it.

01:47:19.000 If you can't get access, it makes no sense to be giving anybody any money, so I apologize.

01:47:24.000 But we're a few weeks out from a complete, again, re-upgrade, new everything, and again, we're going to be adding a newsroom.

01:47:32.000 So we're going to have articles, we're going to have more content.

01:47:35.000 And you can send to jobs at timcast.com right now if you are a video producer, documentary producer, and you want to produce some short documentaries between 10 and 20 minutes for us, because we are taking pitches and we are going to be commissioning some of these out on a contract basis.

01:47:54.000 And there are some ideas I have that we need somebody right now.

01:47:56.000 You send me an email right now, we'll look at it.

01:48:01.000 Send us examples of your work and if they're good, you can be on a plane tomorrow.

01:48:05.000 Well, assuming the plane lets you on and you're wearing a mask.

01:48:07.000 But you get the point.

01:48:08.000 There are some stories we're ready to pull the trigger on.

01:48:12.000 All right.

01:48:13.000 Trashpanda says, Ian, I know you mean well, but not everything can be solved by technology.

01:48:17.000 The problem is the far left is waging war against classical liberalism, and we will not win until we treat them as the enemies they are.

01:48:24.000 I know you're right, and I do talk a lot, especially on this show, because it's like a talk show, but, and I know that the solutions aren't simple, man.

01:48:30.000 They're just not.

01:48:31.000 Otherwise, we would probably already figured them out already.

01:48:34.000 AdamTHM says, Tim, how can we change people's minds, who we can show them the news articles and proof they're wrong, and they still look in our faces and say, so what?

01:48:42.000 Yeah, that's really difficult.

01:48:45.000 I honestly don't know.

01:48:46.000 There was a study in political psychology like 10 or so years back.

01:48:50.000 I think it was Brendan Nyhan who did it.

01:48:52.000 The more you show partisans information that contradicts their beliefs, the stronger those beliefs grow.

01:48:58.000 Right.

01:48:59.000 Yeah, because you're an enemy.

01:49:00.000 So, uh, you have to approach them as an ally.

01:49:04.000 The first thing you need to have is rapport.

01:49:06.000 And so you need to be agreeing with them.

01:49:08.000 And then... I used to... There's an old technique in, um, you know, like sales.

01:49:14.000 And it's to... I'll put it this way.

01:49:17.000 The big ask.

01:49:18.000 You familiar with the big ask?

01:49:20.000 It's where you say like, hey, I'll sell you this box of Kleenex for $100.

01:49:25.000 And then you're gonna be like, that's insane, a hundred is okay, but I'll give you half off, fifty bucks.

01:49:28.000 So you walked it back and I'm like, ooh, I'm getting a deal.

01:49:31.000 That's part of a similar concept called rapport extreme turn, where you approach someone who has a political belief as their ally, agree with them even if you don't agree.

01:49:39.000 They say like, I'm a big fan of this politician.

01:49:41.000 You say, me too, oh man, high five.

01:49:43.000 Then you present to them an extreme, a big ask.

01:49:45.000 Something they can't agree with in terms of politics.

01:49:48.000 I'm grateful to the bolstering of soldiers in the Middle East, because it's about time the U.S. 1.00

01:49:53.000 shows the world what imperialism really means.

01:49:55.000 And then when they say they disagree with you, you say, well...

01:49:59.000 Maybe you're not as big a supporter of, you know, politician as I am, but I can still respect that you agree with him.

01:50:04.000 And then you've given them the position where they've disagreed with the politician, not you.

01:50:08.000 You didn't approach them as an enemy. 1.00

01:50:09.000 You didn't tell them they were wrong and stupid. 1.00

01:50:11.000 You said, I like politician too because he did X. So when they say, I don't like X, say, well, okay, well then agree to disagree. 1.00

01:50:17.000 You don't have to like him as much as I do, but I like him.

01:50:20.000 Now in their mind, they've said, I disagree.

01:50:22.000 You see how that works?

01:50:23.000 I'm not a big fan of that stuff.

01:50:25.000 I used to do sales, I didn't like it.

01:50:26.000 I like just saying it, and if people don't get it.

01:50:28.000 But I guess the problem is, there are people who understand the human mind and how social engineering works.

01:50:33.000 Edward Bernays.

01:50:34.000 They'll exploit it every step of the way to gain power. 0.98

01:50:36.000 And the people who are like, I don't want to play these games, well, then we lose, I guess.

01:50:36.000 And they are.

01:50:40.000 But I don't know what else you do, you know?

01:50:41.000 Gotta be subversive.

01:50:42.000 Kind, but subversive.

01:50:44.000 You don't gotta be, but that's one tactic.

01:50:46.000 Kurt Crosby says, critical theory is like pouring ketchup on a fruit salad.

01:50:49.000 Great show, guys.

01:50:50.000 Ugh.

01:50:51.000 Jacob Donaldworth says, Hey Tim, if you want a break from all the serious stuff, check out my book, An Officer and a Man on Amazon.

01:50:58.000 Tons of funny stories about being an officer in the USMC.

01:51:01.000 I'm a huge fan of the show.

01:51:02.000 Keep doing great things.

01:51:03.000 Thank you so much.

01:51:04.000 Appreciate it.

01:51:04.000 If you guys are huge fans of the show, you can just share it on Facebook or social media.

01:51:08.000 Just take the link and we should, we should probably, you know, get, make an easy way for people to just do that.

01:51:13.000 That's, that's really the way to grow the show.

01:51:15.000 And then I don't know how you sometimes just can't convince people, I guess.

01:51:20.000 Sean Anderson says Cardano ADA crypto is doing cool stuff in Ethiopia.

01:51:25.000 People need to buy real projects, not garbage like Dogecoin or ETH Classic.

01:51:29.000 Well, I think ETH is valuable because a lot of companies use it.

01:51:32.000 Sat says, whoever convinced the American people that politics is this complex spectrum with dozens of labels has got this country under their thumb.

01:51:39.000 Politics is power.

01:51:40.000 Nothing more.

01:51:40.000 It's really that simple.

01:51:41.000 Yeah.

01:51:42.000 It doesn't matter what party line they write down on paper.

01:51:47.000 Oh, man. 0.98

01:51:48.000 A porn crypto. 0.98

01:51:50.000 Yes.

01:51:51.000 And it's skyrocketing in value.

01:51:52.000 Of course.

01:51:53.000 21st century politics.

01:51:56.000 Tom M. says, Zimbabwe had hyperinflation where a trash bag of money got you a soda or it was burned for warmth.

01:52:03.000 Kept printing out bigger bills and pushing more money to the economy to keep up.

01:52:06.000 Had $1,000,000 bills.

01:52:08.000 Money printer go grr.

01:52:10.000 Yeah, I think I saw that once.

01:52:11.000 I was at a restaurant and they had like a $1,000,000 bill or something from Zimbabwe.

01:52:15.000 And it was just like, just ridiculous amount of zeros.

01:52:17.000 I'm like, wow.

01:52:18.000 But why would anyone even, it makes no sense.

01:52:21.000 Why would you use it?

01:52:21.000 It's not worth anything.

01:52:22.000 Just why would I trade with it?

01:52:26.000 Alex on Earth says, look up digitaldollarproject.org forward slash publications for the latest in the future of digital currency in the USA.

01:52:33.000 We'll check it out.

01:52:34.000 Thank you.

01:52:36.000 Ellen Jin says, Alin Jin, be more worried about the money sharing services between the banks, Zelle and its parent company.

01:52:43.000 They are tied into most of the major banks.

01:52:45.000 They are using bad contracts to lock out people from it and taking their info.

01:52:49.000 Creepy.

01:52:52.000 Daniel Welch says, did you see AG Barr is under scrutiny for memo?

01:52:56.000 So if you try to stop a baseless witch hunt, it's obstruction.

01:52:59.000 Nothing more than a legal Kafka trap.

01:53:01.000 Yep, that's the power they have.

01:53:02.000 There you go.

01:53:05.000 Nicholas Doyle says, to us, the Bitcoin cycles are a result of the four year payout halving cycle causing a run because low supply.

01:53:14.000 People are too aware to repeat it now.

01:53:17.000 So basically what happens is, The halving, right? 0.86

01:53:20.000 Yeah, so people know when there's going to be a strain, and so the miners hold it until the strain hits, and then they can sell at, you know, they can make a bigger profit.

01:53:29.000 But now that people are aware of it, the coin's starting to stabilize.

01:53:33.000 Nobody wants to sell, they want to hold, and it makes sense.

01:53:37.000 But I guess the issue is, who cares if you're holding Bitcoin?

01:53:40.000 Nobody wants to trade it.

01:53:42.000 I mean, I guess people do.

01:53:43.000 People, you can buy it.

01:53:45.000 The price slowly goes up because people do buy it.

01:53:47.000 But then if the price is going to keep going up, why would I sell it?

01:53:50.000 I guess, I guess if you have to.

01:53:51.000 Yeah.

01:53:51.000 If you need an asset or something.

01:53:53.000 Yeah.

01:53:54.000 I mean, I guess if all of my, if all of my money and all of my assets were Bitcoin, I'd be trading some out to buy stuff with, you know.

01:54:04.000 Jonathan Duger says, Tim, lumber is skyrocketing because loggers are doing the same thing as diamond miners.

01:54:09.000 They're holding on to it to spike the prices.

01:54:11.000 Oh my gosh.

01:54:12.000 Wow.

01:54:14.000 XRunner says there is a production side to this.

01:54:17.000 What happens when producers stop working?

01:54:19.000 Farmers in Venezuela quitting was one variable in their demise.

01:54:23.000 Interesting.

01:54:24.000 Unknown says a guy at work made $30,000, $30K on Doge with a $6K initial investment.

01:54:29.000 Paid off his wife's student loans in his vehicle.

01:54:32.000 We make $35K a year, 40 hour work week.

01:54:34.000 Wow!

01:54:35.000 The gift of Doge, man.

01:54:40.000 Oh, just jumped on me.

01:54:40.000 Don't jump on me.

01:54:41.000 What are you doing?

01:54:41.000 There we go.

01:54:42.000 Manuel Delgado says, The Incan from Kansas.

01:54:45.000 Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. 1.00

01:54:47.000 Treat a man as he could be, and he'll become what he should be. 0.87

01:54:50.000 America's worst day is still better than any day in the rest of the world.

01:54:54.000 Be the true change. 0.98

01:54:55.000 Put up or shut up. 0.98

01:54:56.000 Right on. 1.00

01:54:56.000 I like that mentality. 1.00

01:54:58.000 Diego Salazar says, your Democrats are our Peronists.

01:55:02.000 All social justice and equality while filling their pockets.

01:55:06.000 Funny thing is that Peron was a Nazi that used the young left to return to power in 72.

01:55:11.000 Greets from Argentina, second place in the inflation ranking. 0.65

01:55:14.000 Peron?

01:55:15.000 Peron is how you say it?

01:55:16.000 Peronists?

01:55:16.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:55:17.000 That was Eva Peron's husband.

01:55:19.000 What was his name?

01:55:20.000 Perrin.

01:55:21.000 Perrin.

01:55:21.000 I'm allowed to not know how to pronounce words.

01:55:23.000 I demand people say things the way I do.

01:55:25.000 Jason Dunn says, fun fact, there's an island in Greece with what, with hundreds of cats.

01:55:30.000 If you can apply to care for six months over the summer.

01:55:33.000 I applied years ago because I wanted to get away, but I didn't get in.

01:55:35.000 It's pretty awesome.

01:55:36.000 That's great.

01:55:37.000 Japan has a cat island too.

01:55:38.000 Oh, yes.

01:55:39.000 Yeah.

01:55:39.000 Where's the rabbit island?

01:55:40.000 There's that too.

01:55:41.000 Wow.

01:55:42.000 Japan has rabbit island?

01:55:42.000 Oh, wait, yeah.

01:55:43.000 Is that what I'm thinking of?

01:55:43.000 I think so, yeah.

01:55:44.000 I thought they had cat island.

01:55:46.000 Then there's pig island.

01:55:48.000 There's Snake Island, too.

01:55:49.000 Did you ever see The Island of the Dead?

01:55:50.000 Yeah, Snake Island.

01:55:51.000 So much hanging bodies.

01:55:54.000 It's a little different.

01:55:55.000 Creepy.

01:55:57.000 Never Fidelis says, Hoag Finance is what Doge should have been from the beginning.

01:56:02.000 Large supply with deflationary tokenomics.

01:56:05.000 There's a 2% tax in which 1% of the transaction is deleted forever, and the other 1% is distributed between the holders.

01:56:12.000 Interesting.

01:56:12.000 What's Hoag?

01:56:13.000 H-O-G-E? 1.00

01:56:14.000 Yeah.

01:56:15.000 Hmm.

01:56:16.000 OP says, what's a good place to buy crypto?

01:56:18.000 I don't want to buy from a place like Robin Hood.

01:56:19.000 I don't know.

01:56:21.000 Coinbase?

01:56:22.000 Gemini?

01:56:23.000 BlockFi is pretty good.

01:56:24.000 Takes a while, though.

01:56:25.000 Don't you want to support the Winklevii?

01:56:27.000 Absolutely.

01:56:28.000 The Winklevoss twins?

01:56:29.000 The Winklevii.

01:56:30.000 I would like to get to know those guys.

01:56:31.000 Coinbase is good on the SJW question.

01:56:34.000 They ban political activism in the workplace.

01:56:36.000 Oh, wow.

01:56:36.000 A bunch of people quit over it.

01:56:37.000 Wow.

01:56:38.000 Hey, good for them.

01:56:40.000 DJ Delive says, how many more times will Tim say spineless?

01:56:46.000 I guess at least one more.

01:56:47.000 Thanks for the super chat.

01:56:50.000 The Last Man 1984 says, check out the book Color, Communism, and Common Sense by Manning Johnson.

01:56:55.000 The book talks about communist infiltration in the US.

01:56:58.000 Very interesting.

01:56:59.000 The Jobless Coder says, I live 50 yards from the church of a pastor who yelled at the cops.

01:57:03.000 He has been targeted for months by police, arrested for feeding the homeless.

01:57:08.000 And I don't understand how, at this point, conservatives are still supporting the cops.

01:57:14.000 I don't get it.

01:57:16.000 I don't know.

01:57:16.000 you got to is that supporting the individual cop or the institution of policing?

01:57:21.000 I don't know. I feel my personal opinion is that many people are just scared to speak out of line

01:57:28.000 with what their tribe says. So I look at cops arresting small business owners, arresting a

01:57:33.000 church pastor for opening their church, shutting down churches and synagogues. I

01:57:38.000 I see the cops in New York holding up cameras to the windows of Jewish schools to make sure the little Jewish children can't be learning and padlocking gates shut.

01:57:46.000 And I'm like, At the time, we're going to have a discussion about this.

01:57:50.000 We should have some reforms.

01:57:51.000 But I think we need police, even when we're seeing these bad things.

01:57:55.000 And then they start, you know, when they start arresting more and more conservatives and releasing Antifa, not arresting more, even when they do, the DAs cut them loose.

01:58:01.000 I'm like, you guys, how could you?

01:58:04.000 I understand you want to be nice to these cops.

01:58:06.000 Don't want to blame them for the fact the DAs are cutting Antifa loose.

01:58:09.000 But why would you prop up a system in which conservatives will be funneled off into the prison system and the far left will be shuffled off free of, you know, no charges, free to go?

01:58:18.000 Oh, it's complicated, right?

01:58:19.000 Because, you know, the left is pushing against the kind of policing that people want.

01:58:22.000 Policing in their neighborhoods, stopping actual crime, stop and search, things that actually lowered crime.

01:58:26.000 But at the same time, the left's putting the police, you know, arrest people, throw people in jail for trespassing and protesting.

01:58:31.000 And they're doing all of it.

01:58:32.000 Yeah.

01:58:32.000 So the cops, the cops aren't going to the neighborhoods to stop crime anymore, but they're still going and arresting small business owners.

01:58:38.000 Still, to this day, in the Minneapolis area, a woman, she was, uh, opened her wine and coffee bar.

01:58:45.000 She got arrested.

01:58:47.000 How did, how could she make it?

01:58:48.000 How could she take it this far?

01:58:50.000 That's creepy.

01:58:52.000 Yeah.

01:58:53.000 So at this point, I'm just like, I don't know what y'all are doing, because sooner or later, if this system persists, it is a simple algorithm.

01:59:01.000 Conservatives and moderates are more likely to go to jail and get locked up, and the left is going to be released and let go.

01:59:07.000 Over a long enough period of time, conservatives and moderates, many who become felons for some of these charges, won't be able to vote, or they'll be in jail, and the far left will romp around smashing windows and burning things down, and the cops are the ones enforcing this stuff.

01:59:20.000 No institution is on your side. 0.65

01:59:22.000 I want to crack down on the mob, on the violence, but I don't want to be this crazy authoritarian. 0.88

01:59:28.000 Is it crazy to say that?

01:59:30.000 To be like National Guard, activate, protect the country.

01:59:35.000 The way to understand it is left-wing violence is speech, and conservative speech is violence.

01:59:40.000 That's right.

01:59:41.000 That's how they understand the world.

01:59:43.000 Whoa! 0.71

01:59:44.000 Wicked Liss says, constitutional carry has passed in Texas on way to mayor who said will sign.

01:59:50.000 You mean governor?

01:59:51.000 Constitutional carry in Texas?

01:59:53.000 Man, if Texas passes this law, I'll be really excited.

01:59:55.000 I might move there.

01:59:56.000 That'd be great.

01:59:56.000 It's a promising law.

01:59:58.000 Yeah.

01:59:59.000 All right.

01:59:59.000 Let's see.

02:00:00.000 We'll do a couple more Super Chats.

02:00:01.000 What do we got here?

02:00:03.000 Maya E says, please have Gothics, Andy Ngo, and Carol Swain as guests.

02:00:06.000 Love your show.

02:00:08.000 The challenge for Andy.

02:00:10.000 Well, I don't know.

02:00:12.000 Andy's not in the U.S.

02:00:12.000 anymore, right?

02:00:13.000 I heard he was overseas.

02:00:14.000 Oh, yeah.

02:00:14.000 OK.

02:00:16.000 Yeah.

02:00:16.000 So I'd love to have Gothics, though.

02:00:18.000 Yeah.

02:00:19.000 We're an in-studio show, man.

02:00:23.000 Tofu Poncho says that communism line always sounds dirty to me.

02:00:27.000 Come on, babe, just give it a shot. 0.99

02:00:29.000 You just don't like it because no one has done it right before.

02:00:31.000 Ooh.

02:00:32.000 Yikes.

02:00:32.000 Yeah, that's right.

02:00:36.000 Okay.

02:00:39.000 Alessio De Monte says, I think this is the first time Ian wants to explode but can't because the channel will be cancelled.

02:00:44.000 It's like the third or fourth time.

02:00:46.000 It's definitely one of them though.

02:00:49.000 Track Media Only says, similar as you raise minimum wage.

02:00:52.000 After time, no one is making more because money is worthless as things cost more in response.

02:00:57.000 All you do is make some poorer and others with expensive hard assets richer.

02:01:03.000 Yeah, you try explaining to some of these leftists and they don't quite understand it.

02:01:06.000 Like, Money is essentially meaningless.

02:01:11.000 Like, a U.S. 0.55

02:01:11.000 dollar doesn't get you something. 0.55

02:01:13.000 It's just, at a certain point in time, it represents a certain amount of value.

02:01:17.000 So you do labor, you get a certain amount in exchange for your labor, and then you can buy a certain amount of things with that labor, but over time, your labor becomes worth less and less and less.

02:01:25.000 Money is just a trade medium that people use.

02:01:27.000 It could literally be anything.

02:01:28.000 It could be seashells.

02:01:30.000 The idea is scarcity, so it's hard to replicate.

02:01:33.000 So U.S. 0.81

02:01:33.000 money is printed by the government. 0.81

02:01:34.000 It's hard to make.

02:01:35.000 It's illegal to counterfeit, and it's hard to counterfeit.

02:01:38.000 So you know that you have a secure, you know, trade medium.

02:01:41.000 The problem is the government inflates the currency, so it loses value over time.

02:01:46.000 Wow.

02:01:46.000 Anyway, my friends, you must go to TimCast.com and become members, because we're going to have an exclusive members-only segment coming up in about an hour.

02:03:01.000 Thanks for coming, dude.

02:03:02.000 That was awesome.

02:03:03.000 Yeah, so I looked up that quote about them lying.

02:03:06.000 It goes like this, and it's not from Solzhenitsyn.

02:03:08.000 Oh, it's not?

02:03:09.000 Oh, my bad.

02:03:10.000 So it's like apparently really often misquoted.

02:03:12.000 It says, the rules are simple.

02:03:13.000 They lie to us.

02:03:13.000 We know they're lying.

02:03:14.000 They know we know they're lying.

02:03:16.000 But they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them.

02:03:20.000 And it's from an author, an artist named Elena Gorkova, who lived during the Soviet Union.

02:03:25.000 Anyway, you can follow me at Sarah Patchlitz on Twitter, if you so desire.

02:03:29.000 We will see you all at timcast.com.

02:03:31.000 Thanks for hanging out.
