Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Famed Leftist CEO RESIGNS After Assault Allegations w-Will Chamberlain & Shane Cashman

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:04.000 you you

00:00:08.000 you You know, the world may be ending.

00:00:39.000 Peter Thiel's trying to build some, like, New Zealand bunker or whatever, or resorts.

00:00:44.000 A bunch of, uh, global elites have been preparing for something, and maybe it's just because they can.

00:00:50.000 They have money.

00:00:51.000 What else you gonna buy?

00:00:52.000 So, build yourself a missile silo bunker, I guess.

00:00:55.000 Or maybe, maybe the world is ending.

00:00:57.000 Well, we will talk about that, but I kind of felt like it'd be more fun to tackle some cultural issues, because we have this story about this famous leftist CEO named Dan Price.

00:01:06.000 He's famous because he raised everyone's salaries to $70,000, and it caused a lot of issues, but also garnered a lot of attention among the left.

00:01:13.000 He is now being accused of some very serious Let's just say, Me Too.

00:01:20.000 He's been Me Too'd. 0.64

00:01:21.000 And, uh, he's been forced to resign.

00:01:23.000 And so, there's this meme, this old meme called Reset the Clock.

00:01:27.000 And that was whenever a male feminist was outed as being a predator, you'd reset the clock.

00:01:31.000 Here we go again!

00:01:32.000 So, the New York Times reported on this.

00:01:33.000 We'll talk about that.

00:01:35.000 But we got a bunch of other stories, and I'm really excited to talk about She-Hulk!

00:01:38.000 Yes, it's right, a Marvel show.

00:01:40.000 Because you guys know I love Marvel shows.

00:01:41.000 But this clip is going viral, where the She-Hulk talks about how she has to control her anger over men catcalling her, and when incompetent men tell her how to do her job. 0.52

00:01:51.000 I have a lot to say about this, but it's going viral.

00:01:53.000 I think Ben Shapiro may have talked about it as well.

00:01:56.000 It's become a cultural debate, and I actually watched She-Hulk, believe it or not.

00:02:02.000 I actually mostly liked it.

00:02:04.000 But I gotta call out this segment, we gotta talk about that.

00:04:27.000 Who done it?

00:04:27.000 It might have been me.

00:04:33.000 Let's get down to brass tacks.

00:04:34.000 See if you can get my whole name in the side.

00:04:38.000 That's what I like to do.

00:04:39.000 You want to put the painting back up?

00:04:40.000 Now we have yeah, you want to put the painting back up that one was Ian's fault and now I'm a camera

00:04:46.000 Friday we're always just like eyes half glazed over and just like ready to go

00:04:53.000 Got a little whiskey.

00:04:54.000 I'm drinking whiskey.

00:04:56.000 Alright!

00:04:56.000 Did you already introduce yourself?

00:04:57.000 No, I didn't.

00:04:58.000 I am also here.

00:04:58.000 I'm wearing my Friday t-shirt because we are just chilling with our two regulars.

00:05:02.000 Love these two guys.

00:05:02.000 Let's get going.

00:05:04.000 Alright, we're gonna jump to this first story, and it's from the New York Times, but we will be leading with a quote from Dan Price, posting on LinkedIn.

00:05:10.000 And he said, in the unlikely event that you are falsely accused, remember, that it will

00:05:15.000 be much easier for you to overcome false allegations than it will be for actual victims to overcome

00:05:21.000 the trauma of harassment or assault.

00:05:24.000 That being said, Dan, I suppose I'm not supposed to care at all that you are claiming these

00:05:29.000 are false allegations, but these are some crazy allegations.

00:05:32.000 So, take a look at the headline.

00:05:34.000 Social media was a CEO's bullhorn and how he lured women.

00:05:39.000 This is what you get when you pander to woke people.

00:05:43.000 Or, maybe the people who pander to these woke people are just predators.

00:05:47.000 Dan Price was applauded for paying a minimum salary of $70,000 at his Seattle company and criticizing corporate greed.

00:05:54.000 The adulation helped to hide and enable his behavior.

00:05:58.000 I'm just going to give you the gist of it.

00:06:00.000 Yo, this is crazy.

00:06:01.000 Like, they talk about how he's on The Daily Show and they did magazines with him, but apparently he's been accused of I guess of like drugging a woman?

00:06:11.000 Look at this!

00:06:12.000 Raping and drugging a victim?

00:06:15.000 On Monday, police in Palm Springs, California said they had referred Ms.

00:06:18.000 Margis' case to local prosecutors recommending a charge of rape of a drugged victim.

00:06:22.000 Prosecutors in Seattle earlier this year charged with a price with assault in another incident.

00:06:25.000 Apparently, he tried to kiss a woman, and then when she refused, he choked her?

00:06:29.000 So questions.

00:06:31.000 Is this retaliation from the woke because you can never trust them? 0.99

00:06:34.000 Or is it that if someone is willing to pander and lie to gain power, they're probably willing to do that for sex?

00:06:43.000 Yeah, and there's sort of a default, like, the fakeness of nice.

00:06:47.000 Like, I actually distinguish between being nice and being kind, right?

00:06:51.000 Like, kindness is something that comes from a position of, like, strength and normalcy.

00:06:54.000 Nice, whenever you talk about nice guys, you always know that there's, like, an element of, like, deception.

00:06:59.000 Nefariousness.

00:07:00.000 Right, like, it's sort of like, I think that people think that they put coins in the nice, it's like a vending machine, right?

00:07:06.000 They put coins in the nice button and then eventually they get to the girl they want.

00:07:09.000 Like a nice guy won't step on someone's toes.

00:07:11.000 A kind guy might step on your toes just to let you know your toes are in the wrong spot.

00:07:16.000 Yeah.

00:07:16.000 Or like, well a kind guy just does it from a position of strength, right?

00:07:20.000 Like they have the ability to do, they could be, they have powers, but they're being kind and not using it in that way.

00:07:26.000 were as nice as like a costume like they're trying to attract women by being 0.90

00:07:30.000 like fake and they're like they think it's a game yeah I knew I knew a guy me

00:07:35.000 and my me and this other guy we're hanging out my one friend is like you

00:07:40.000 know a Rico Suave type who's going to bars and picking up chicks and like very

00:07:43.000 proud of himself and this other guy was having trouble so I'm sitting there and

00:07:47.000 I'm kind of like passively listening and there's we'll call him guy a because I

00:07:50.000 don't want to call anybody's personal lives out but guy a is talking about how

00:07:54.000 he doesn't understand why he's always in the friend zone.

00:07:57.000 He goes on to, so, you know, Guy B, who's this suave dude, is like, tell me what you do when you go on a date.

00:08:02.000 And he explained how he's like, I always put women, I always treat them like royalty, like queens.

00:08:08.000 I ask them whatever they want, you can have.

00:08:11.000 And then, I'm listening to this and I was just like, dude, you think that comes off as sincere and nice?

00:08:17.000 Like, you're treating the person like they're not really there with you.

00:08:21.000 You're acting like they're a piece of plastic and that you're going to feed the machine quarters hoping that sex comes out. 1.00

00:08:28.000 I was like, that's not nice.

00:08:30.000 Yeah, and it also breeds resentment, right?

00:08:30.000 That's creepy.

00:08:33.000 Like then they feel, because they have put in the nice coins and they don't get what they're expecting, they get super resentful and angry about it.

00:08:39.000 It's like the kind of guy who, there's like a woman and she's got spinach in her teeth and he's like, I'm not going to say anything.

00:08:44.000 That's exactly what I was thinking about.

00:08:46.000 The hottest girl in the world.

00:08:47.000 If she got spinach in her teeth, tell her.

00:08:48.000 She wants to know this so she can take it out.

00:08:51.000 But that's anybody too, like nice and kind.

00:08:53.000 It's like, if someone had gunk in their teeth, would you tell them?

00:08:56.000 I do.

00:08:57.000 I'm like, hey, you got a thing in your teeth.

00:08:58.000 And they go, oh, thanks.

00:08:59.000 They'll be more mad at you if you didn't tell them.

00:09:01.000 Then they find out, they're like, why didn't you tell me?

00:09:03.000 Cause like, oh, I didn't want to put you on the spot.

00:09:04.000 I don't want to.

00:09:05.000 So, so this guy, Dan Price, I really want to talk about his business because so much of what we see coming from perceived, this really, really grinds my gears.

00:09:13.000 The idea of left versus right.

00:09:15.000 If you are a sincere person who asks a question, you're right wing.

00:09:19.000 I'll give you, I'll give you, I'll give you an example, right?

00:09:22.000 Seamus, this is one of Seamus's jokes.

00:09:24.000 He says, the left will come out and be like, we want good thing.

00:09:28.000 We want good thing. 0.98

00:09:29.000 And then a conservative will go, Okay, how should, how do we pay for a good thing?

00:09:34.000 You want bad thing! 1.00

00:09:36.000 And that's like the whole, it's like your right wing for simply being like... So we get this story of this guy Dan Price.

00:09:41.000 He raises everybody's salary.

00:09:43.000 Well, I happen to run a company and I understand how taxes work.

00:09:46.000 So my first question here, he lowers his salary from like a million bucks or something to $70,000.

00:09:53.000 And for me, alarm bells went off.

00:09:55.000 I was like, oh, bro's trying to save himself some money.

00:10:00.000 When you take profit versus compensation, they're taxed differently.

00:10:04.000 This is at least how two different accounting companies I've gone with have explained it to me, so maybe they're not correct, but this is my understanding, is that passive profit is not taxed the same way as employment, income, or direct compensation.

00:10:19.000 So when I see this, I'm like, If the dude lowers his salary, he's gonna save a lot of money in taxes.

00:10:25.000 Right, that's assuming if he owns or has a major stake in the company that he's running.

00:10:29.000 And I'm pretty sure this dude does.

00:10:31.000 Yeah, he does.

00:10:32.000 Yeah, he gets profit.

00:10:34.000 So at the end of the year, if you're only paying yourself 70k, like Bezos does this.

00:10:37.000 Bezos takes an $87,000 a year salary and then gets bonuses, and then Justify to the IRS why your salary is so low, but if you're gonna get audited anyway.

00:10:48.000 So what I was told by two different accounting companies was if you're a CEO of a company with, you know, like an eight-figure revenue and then you pay yourself something like 70k, you know, you're gonna get audited in two seconds because they're like, that's bull, that's bull.

00:11:02.000 You're trying to not pay your employment taxes.

00:11:04.000 So when I saw this, I was like, well, how would you get around that?

00:11:08.000 It's ideological.

00:11:09.000 Now if they come to you and be like, hey man, that's not it at all.

00:11:12.000 I believe in fair wages for all people, and I shouldn't be making that much money in a salary.

00:11:17.000 But in profit's a different question.

00:11:20.000 Right.

00:11:20.000 So I don't know if how much money he actually saved by doing it

00:11:23.000 He did raise the salaries of everybody in his company became a big star over it surprise surprise the dudes being

00:11:29.000 accused Again, I think there's a strong possibility. It's false

00:11:32.000 accusation I'm not I'm not gonna assume it's these are real claims

00:11:35.000 just because the guy happens to be on the left Yeah

00:11:38.000 all the raises he made are kind of goes back to what will is saying about kind versus nice because the raises could

00:11:43.000 have just Been the veneer of nice of kindness, right? I was really

00:11:46.000 just a nefarious niceness, right?

00:11:48.000 And now it's blowing up in his face.

00:11:51.000 I feel like that's so much of what the left is.

00:11:53.000 I mean, I think this is what most people kind of feel, that it's performative, grifting, you know?

00:11:59.000 Maybe he did something good.

00:12:01.000 It's like, all right, you know?

00:12:02.000 Yeah.

00:12:02.000 But what was like, and I have to say this about Trump too, Is the reasoning behind it that important if they're actively doing something good?

00:12:11.000 Because we have to speculate as to his reasoning, but I think it's great that he's paying his staff more money.

00:12:15.000 I got an article from Geek Wire about this story.

00:12:18.000 He made according to you know, whatever the documents that he made nine hundred fifty thousand in

00:12:23.000 2010 nine hundred thousand in 2011, but then when he went on TV told him he made fifty thousand in 2011 when he

00:12:30.000 actually made 900,000 this was on

00:12:33.000 January and then this was with CNBC Kelly Evans is when he told her I've made probably fifty thousand

00:12:39.000 Then he later came out and was like, oh, I misspoke.

00:12:43.000 So I don't know if this guy's just full of it. 0.85

00:12:45.000 He's just, he's just a creep. 0.94

00:12:46.000 He's like, he's a classic male feminist, right? 0.93

00:12:49.000 Like literally archetypal male feminist, you know, using like woke politics and like BS. 1.00

00:12:56.000 Cause he thinks that's what women want to hear. 0.96

00:12:58.000 And then when they say no, all of a sudden the fangs come out.

00:13:01.000 Dude, if he actually made $900,000 and told someone that he made $50,000, that's insanity. 0.99

00:13:07.000 He's a psychotic person. 0.92

00:13:10.000 Is he misleading? 0.67

00:13:11.000 He's like, my salary was only, but he knows in the back of his mind, he made $900,000 in profit.

00:13:17.000 It's really disturbing that he made that.

00:13:19.000 And he was like, let this be the last lie I ever tell.

00:13:22.000 Apparently there were big problems when he did this too.

00:13:26.000 So like what happened was, these are just stories that I heard.

00:13:30.000 There were some employees that were making $70,000 a year because they were like an accounts manager.

00:13:33.000 And then there were some people who were in the mailroom who were getting hourly pay.

00:13:37.000 All of a sudden, these mailroom people got bumped up to the same salary as an accounts manager who saw no raise.

00:13:42.000 And then they were just like, I've been here for how long and you gave them a $50,000 a year raise and I got nothing?

00:13:49.000 And so I read, you know, it's been a long time, I could be wrong, but a bunch of people resigned saying like, it's deeply offensive that we would not receive more compensation.

00:13:59.000 But like the idea of a minimum wage meant they got nothing and the people of lower skill and lower time at the company lower seniority got Massive like two or three hundred percent raises.

00:14:09.000 Yeah, I would actually be furious Complete stunt if you're one of those people making like 70 80 K for a job that you know requires a college degree And you know you've debts and things like that and then he like bumps up like the the you know intern or whatever the entry-level job up to 70 and you're like Where's my raise?

00:14:26.000 The argument was supposed to be that's like you shouldn't be mad that someone else is making more money

00:14:30.000 That's what a lot the left was saying like what is it's not affecting you at all and it's like you got to understand

00:14:36.000 man When your company takes money from the budget and gives a

00:14:41.000 raise to everyone, but you That is like getting punched in the gut

00:14:46.000 That's crazy.

00:14:47.000 And so the idea, but it's raised to a minimum.

00:14:49.000 It's like, yeah, but like to hear that a coworker got a 500 or 300% raise and you got a zero, it's not about 70K.

00:14:56.000 It's not about a minimum.

00:14:57.000 It's about you working hard and hoping to make more money to live a better life.

00:15:00.000 And he's not doing that for you, but everybody else you are now, it's almost like they got pushed to the minimum.

00:15:07.000 So people resigned, you know, apparently.

00:15:09.000 But hey, look man, I don't care how he runs his business.

00:15:12.000 He can do whatever he wants.

00:15:14.000 Congratulations, he found a way to get a bunch of attention, make a bunch of money.

00:15:17.000 Yeah, don't be a predator though.

00:15:18.000 That's a good takeaway.

00:15:22.000 I object first and foremost to the predation.

00:15:27.000 Here, here.

00:15:28.000 It's like that Norm Macdonald joke.

00:15:29.000 It's like, you know, the worst thing about Bill Cosby. 0.97

00:15:31.000 Somebody's like saying the worst thing about Bill Cosby is the hypocrisy.

00:15:34.000 And he's like, no, I thought the worst thing about Bill Cosby was, you know, the crimes.

00:15:38.000 Yeah.

00:15:44.000 That's a thing, man.

00:15:44.000 So, you know, when I look at what, there's a guy in here, seven years running the marketing company.

00:15:49.000 That's a man.

00:15:51.000 Well, this guy, this guy, wait, I don't know.

00:15:52.000 They're both doing that.

00:15:54.000 It's a new man.

00:15:54.000 Soft person.

00:15:55.000 Yeah, so, like, when I see people like, uh, Dan Price, I'm actually kind of like, okay, you know, like, do your thing, man, like, I'm not gonna complain about a guy, how he runs his business.

00:16:04.000 If he's getting attention for raising salaries, it's like, whatever, dude, I don't trust it, but I'm not here to rag on that, you know what I mean?

00:16:09.000 If somebody wants to do their business that way, it's, you know, just far be it from me, you know, but surprise, surprise, you know what I mean? 0.76

00:16:17.000 Like, drug, raping a drugged victim is a crazy thing to be accused of.

00:16:21.000 Yeah.

00:16:21.000 Now, I'll say this too, innocent until proven guilty.

00:16:24.000 Always. Because I think it could be false. I mean, look, you're a powerful white man,

00:16:28.000 and you enter the woke fray to exploit it. I wonder if some of this stuff is they know he's

00:16:35.000 grifting off them, so they destroy him. You know, like not just his story, but other stories where

00:16:39.000 they're like, as a possibility. It also may just be, dude, imagine being like made of cheese,

00:16:48.000 and then deciding to walk into a room full of mice.

00:16:52.000 Like, like, imagine being a banana and walking to a monkey sanctuary.

00:16:52.000 You know what I mean?

00:16:57.000 Look, I'm just gonna go with his advice.

00:16:59.000 I don't want to inflict trauma on his victims.

00:17:02.000 I'm just gonna believe his accuser and leave it at that.

00:17:06.000 That's such a sense of hubris to be like, I got this.

00:17:09.000 I'll be fine.

00:17:10.000 I'm a white guy, but I got this in the bag.

00:17:12.000 As long as I pander to them, I'll be safe here.

00:17:15.000 We should know, though, that so many heroes that they prop up, eventually it's like the new hero's journey.

00:17:20.000 They end up falling.

00:17:21.000 They end up devouring themselves in the end, whether they did it or not.

00:17:24.000 It's like Louis C.K.

00:17:25.000 was one of them.

00:17:26.000 A lot of people, whether it was true or not.

00:17:28.000 Who?

00:17:29.000 I can't.

00:17:29.000 It's crazy.

00:17:30.000 You know, so we use Parallel Economy for Timcast.

00:17:33.000 And this is co-founded by Dan Bongino.

00:17:34.000 It's censorship resistant.

00:17:36.000 Why would I use a company that hates me?

00:17:40.000 So like, you're the CEO of this company and you're like, I know.

00:17:43.000 Let's pan to the people who explicitly hate me based on my race and my gender.

00:17:47.000 And that's a good business move. 0.99

00:17:49.000 That seems like really dumb. 0.98

00:17:50.000 It seems, yeah, very fragile. 0.99

00:17:52.000 Based in fear.

00:17:53.000 I think.

00:17:53.000 It's a desperation tactic if you were to do something like that.

00:17:53.000 Yeah.

00:17:56.000 That'd be like using your slave owner's weapons to break out of slavery or something.

00:18:00.000 I don't know.

00:18:00.000 Right.

00:18:01.000 But they only do that because that's their only option.

00:18:02.000 If you have another option, you use the company that you have relations with.

00:18:06.000 I really want to talk about feminism right now. 0.98

00:18:08.000 Me too.

00:18:08.000 Oh yeah.

00:18:09.000 Let's play me too.

00:18:13.000 Oh, all right.

00:18:14.000 You guys ready for this one?

00:18:15.000 Sure.

00:18:16.000 Get woke, go broke.

00:18:17.000 IMDB tweets.

00:18:19.000 Ahem.

00:18:20.000 Say it louder for the people in the back.

00:18:22.000 SheHulk.

00:18:23.000 Tatiana Maslany.

00:18:25.000 You guys ready for this clip from the, it's from TikTok, but it's SheHulk.

00:18:29.000 Listen to this.

00:18:31.000 Here's the thing, Bruce.

00:18:32.000 I'm great at controlling my anger.

00:18:34.000 I do it all the time.

00:18:37.000 When I'm catcalled in the street, when incompetent men explain my own area of expertise to me, I do it pretty much every day because if I don't I will get called emotional or difficult or I might just literally get murdered.

00:18:53.000 So I'm an expert at controlling my anger because I do it infinitely more than you.

00:18:59.000 I love this clip for this face right here.

00:19:07.000 Spoiler alerts, I don't know how many of you wanted to watch She-Hulk, but I do.

00:19:11.000 I love watching the Marvel stuff.

00:19:12.000 I did watch a bit of Ms. 0.84

00:19:13.000 Like, I didn't watch, um, I did watch a bit of Ms. Marvel and it was awful.

00:19:19.000 It was just so awful.

00:19:21.000 So, uh, but we'll get to that in a second.

00:19:22.000 So, uh, this clip's great.

00:19:24.000 It's really, really great because as much as people are, like, mocking the clip, it is masterfully done.

00:19:30.000 It is a work of art.

00:19:32.000 It is so perfect that I was excited to see it.

00:19:37.000 And the reason is, minutes Before this scene, she is outside of a bar.

00:19:43.000 We watched it before the show so I could explain it to you guys.

00:19:45.000 And three guys are not even hollering, not even catcalling.

00:19:49.000 Like...

00:19:50.000 I was asking Shane, so the guys come out and they're like, hey, what's your name?

00:19:55.000 And she goes, I'm waiting for someone.

00:19:57.000 And it's like, well, let us keep you company.

00:19:59.000 She goes, my boyfriend's going to be here.

00:20:00.000 And he's like, oh, come on, we're just being friendly. 0.96

00:20:03.000 She goes, Hulk's out and then gets ready to murder the dudes. 1.00

00:20:07.000 She like winds up and then Hulk stops her from doing it. 1.00

00:20:11.000 And so I was asking Shane, I was like, was that even hollering?

00:20:14.000 Like catcalling is when you're like saying crude things.

00:20:17.000 Below that.

00:20:18.000 It's below that.

00:20:18.000 It was working up to a pickup line, but not there yet.

00:20:21.000 It wasn't even hollering.

00:20:22.000 Hollering bang likes up, girl, why don't you come over here? 1.00

00:20:24.000 They were just like, what's your name?

00:20:25.000 Like, let us keep you company.

00:20:26.000 And I'm like, it's almost hollering.

00:20:28.000 So this is a parable about why women shouldn't have power. 1.00

00:20:30.000 Yeah, basically.

00:20:31.000 Perhaps, perhaps.

00:20:32.000 But this is why I think... No, no, look, look, look.

00:20:35.000 Clip that.

00:20:35.000 The clip is perfect.

00:20:36.000 There we go.

00:20:37.000 We got it.

00:20:38.000 The clip is perfect.

00:20:39.000 She almost murdered these dudes. 1.00

00:20:41.000 She winds up for, like, a kick. 1.00

00:20:43.000 And we know from the show, because they show her throwing boulders and smashing a cliff with her fists, that a full force kick would have exploded these men.

00:20:52.000 Here's what else we learn.

00:20:53.000 In the show, when she hulks out with Bruce, He tries to calm her down and he's like, calm, calm.

00:21:02.000 And she goes, why are you talking to me like a child?

00:21:04.000 And he goes, wait a minute.

00:21:05.000 You're in there, and she goes, yes, and you learn that when Bruce goes Hulk, he loses his mind.

00:21:10.000 He becomes a rage monster.

00:21:12.000 When she transforms, she's fully cognitive and lucid of what she's doing, which means when she's sitting there explaining to him that she can control her anger, she's lying, she's also a dangerous, violent psychopath, and immediately after this, she says, I control my anger every day, and then she Hulks out. 0.61

00:21:32.000 And then she calms back down. And so not only is she lying about controlling her anger in two

00:21:39.000 instances here, she's lying. It's the perfect example of feminism. 1.00

00:21:45.000 Exaggerating the claim, lying about their ability to control it, and then justifying that as why they're a victim.

00:21:51.000 Brilliant!

00:21:52.000 It sounds like stealth misogyny.

00:21:54.000 Like, this entire program is just, like, secretly putting forward, like, actually, yeah.

00:22:00.000 If you, like, I'm watching this, and I see this clip going around, and they're like, say it for everyone in back, and I'm like, yeah, but the context of it is that she's lying.

00:22:07.000 Like, it's like three minutes before she says that, she tries to murder some dude.

00:22:11.000 And she's lucid.

00:22:13.000 She's aware she's doing it.

00:22:15.000 I'm like, that's feminism. 1.00

00:22:16.000 Nailed it.

00:22:18.000 And if they define any type of word as violence, then you can match that with violence.

00:22:24.000 So even them just approaching them saying, hey, what's up?

00:22:27.000 That's violence.

00:22:29.000 Dude, I really love this show already.

00:22:32.000 She Hulk's the villain. 0.98

00:22:33.000 She's the bad guy.

00:22:34.000 So I'll tell you something else.

00:22:37.000 It's really good.

00:22:38.000 In Spider-Man, why do we like Spider-Man?

00:22:40.000 With great power comes great responsibility.

00:22:42.000 Man, what a message for a little kid.

00:22:44.000 Especially for those of us who want people to grow up to be responsible regardless of who they are, what they do.

00:22:49.000 Take some personal responsibility.

00:22:51.000 The story of Spider-Man.

00:22:53.000 You know, if we'll use the movie reference.

00:22:55.000 He does the wrestling match, the dude refuses to pay him.

00:22:58.000 Then the guy comes in and steals the money.

00:23:00.000 And as the burglar's running away, the guy's like, stop that man!

00:23:03.000 And Spider-Man's like, I don't see how that's my problem.

00:23:07.000 But then that guy, as he's running away, is- tries to steal a car, and he robs Uncle Ben and shoots

00:23:13.000 and kills him.

00:23:14.000 And then Spider-Man is like, if I just stopped the guy and took responsibility for my community, my uncle would have lived.

00:23:20.000 And it's like a very sad message.

00:23:21.000 In this, Hulk desperately begs her to use her powers for good and she outright refuses and says, no, it's my life and I'm going to follow my career.

00:23:32.000 And he says, there's very few people who have the power we do.

00:23:35.000 The ability to protect this planet.

00:23:36.000 You have to do it.

00:23:37.000 She goes, no, I don't. 0.98

00:23:38.000 She beats the crap out of Hulk, destroys his bar. 1.00

00:23:41.000 It actually is a funny scene. 0.81

00:23:42.000 And then they rebuild it together.

00:23:43.000 And she goes, I'm leaving.

00:23:44.000 He goes, fine.

00:23:45.000 If you want to just be a small time lawyer, like I respect that.

00:23:47.000 She's like, okay.

00:23:48.000 And then she leaves.

00:23:49.000 The point of the show is that she is not, she is refusing responsibility for her powers.

00:23:54.000 I'm just like, it's like what you were saying, Will.

00:23:57.000 If the real message was to insult feminism, they nailed it. 0.99

00:24:01.000 Right.

00:24:01.000 Yeah, like that's what that sounds like.

00:24:03.000 It sounds like kind of a stealth, you know, refutation of it.

00:24:06.000 Basically a critique of feminism as deeply selfish, right?

00:24:09.000 Yeah, the Hulk originally was like a chaotic evil creature that was inside of Bruce Banner who was like a neutral good guy.

00:24:17.000 So it was destructive and unpredictable.

00:24:21.000 So I think they've infused the Chaotic evil character into the woman's psyche, inadvertently making her chaotic evil. 0.97

00:24:29.000 You're saying Hulk was chaotic evil?

00:24:30.000 Yeah, Bruce Banner would turn into this chaotic evil demon.

00:24:34.000 Yeah, basically the Hulk was- He was chaotic neutral, right?

00:24:36.000 No, Hulk was destructively evil and dangerous.

00:24:38.000 What are you talking about? 0.97

00:24:38.000 He was a rage monster. 0.97

00:24:40.000 Yeah, but he was the protagonist. 0.78

00:24:43.000 Well, that was the cool thing about it was he was an evil protagonist.

00:24:47.000 He's not evil.

00:24:47.000 He wasn't evil.

00:24:48.000 Well, the Hulk itself was an evil creature that everyone wanted to stop it whenever it would go.

00:24:53.000 So he was always trying to stop it from appearing.

00:24:55.000 But it was like the Hulk was just amoral rage, right?

00:24:59.000 Like it was just he would do good things, he would do bad things.

00:25:01.000 Well, anger isn't really amoral.

00:25:03.000 I think anger is definitely a moral You can be angry at injustice, or you can be angry at things that aren't right.

00:25:09.000 He would just be angry at, like, someone kicked my leg on accident, and he broke walls, and they'd be like, run!

00:25:15.000 But think about that for a second.

00:25:16.000 You're saying that a lawful good person can't be enraged, because that would make them evil.

00:25:20.000 Well, that was the interesting thing about Hulk, is he was two people.

00:25:22.000 Bruce Banner is, like, a good person, and then the Hulk was this evil thing that would come out of him, and he'd be like, no, I gotta stop!

00:25:28.000 Stop it! 0.99

00:25:28.000 But Hulk wasn't evil. 0.99

00:25:30.000 He was an Avenger. 0.83

00:25:30.000 The very original Hulk was like this evil demon with no personality. 0.83

00:25:34.000 It was just a rage monster.

00:25:35.000 And then they kind of started to craft him and give him a personality.

00:25:37.000 Into an anti-hero or something?

00:25:38.000 Yeah.

00:25:38.000 Okay, that makes sense.

00:25:41.000 Because I'm not really deeply familiar with the universe.

00:25:44.000 So I saw the Avengers.

00:25:47.000 Yeah, eventually they gave they made Bruce the Hulk one person.

00:25:50.000 That's my favorite version of the Hulk is when he has a mind He's like Buddhist. 0.95

00:25:54.000 Yeah.

00:25:54.000 Yeah, just chillin.

00:25:56.000 Um, I have some technical problems with this show I haven't seen it yet But when she in the beginning of the scene she starts to tell him this emotional thing and looks away to the right as she's talking That's really annoying to watch actors do that.

00:26:06.000 It's kind of there there you see her to look to the right It's like she's trying to generate fake emotion which he glances to the right right there It's really annoying like you need a director to be like no look him in the eyes when you're talking Well, she's not looking at anybody's eyes.

00:26:16.000 She's supposed to be looking at Bruce's eyes.

00:26:18.000 No, no, but like she's actually looking at a big X on a stick.

00:26:21.000 She might have Bruce in front of him working.

00:26:23.000 They might be working a scene together.

00:26:24.000 She has to look up, which means they would have Bruce and he would have a stick coming off his back with like a circle, a green circle on it.

00:26:30.000 And she has to look at the two dots on the green circle.

00:26:32.000 So she dropped the ball there, and then at the end, whoever wrote this script... This guy's just ragging on the acting of it.

00:26:37.000 And the writing.

00:26:39.000 I feel anger infinitely more than you.

00:26:41.000 Infinite is not a multiplier.

00:26:42.000 You can't multiply something by infinite.

00:26:44.000 That's a zero.

00:26:45.000 So it makes no sense.

00:26:46.000 An illogical statement.

00:26:47.000 Of course, Ian has an issue with the semantics of the statement.

00:26:50.000 The lighting's good, though.

00:26:55.000 So Hulk's, like, her mentor throughout this?

00:26:57.000 Is that the deal?

00:26:57.000 Well, he, like, kidnaps her.

00:26:59.000 Kidnaps her?

00:26:59.000 Oh, now I'm in.

00:27:00.000 Yeah, because she almost murdered a dude. 1.00

00:27:02.000 And so Hulk thinks it's because she's... That's gonna be Dan Price's defense.

00:27:07.000 Yeah.

00:27:07.000 Imagine him hitting on her.

00:27:09.000 Sorry, I had to choke her, Your Honor. 1.00

00:27:11.000 Hulk thought that she was a rage monster like he was. 1.00

00:27:14.000 Right.

00:27:15.000 Yeah.

00:27:15.000 I'm surprised he finds out.

00:27:16.000 Like good writing would have been him being like, wait a minute, you're conscious right now?

00:27:20.000 It's like, yes.

00:27:20.000 And he would have been like, that means you tried to murder those guys.

00:27:23.000 Yeah.

00:27:24.000 Like, yo, that's, that's crazy.

00:27:25.000 Different discussion.

00:27:26.000 Then she just, uh, she just goes back to being a lawyer.

00:27:29.000 It's like, first of all, you know, I said she was the villain, right?

00:27:31.000 I mean, she's a lawyer. 0.75

00:27:32.000 Come on.

00:27:33.000 You know, how much more villainous can you get?

00:27:35.000 They didn't even make her selfish too.

00:27:37.000 I'm saying that cause Will's here.

00:27:39.000 What percentage of lawyers do you think are good?

00:27:44.000 Oh, I mean most of them, honestly.

00:27:46.000 Like 51%?

00:27:47.000 I don't know.

00:27:50.000 Most lawyers are trying to do good work and serve their clients.

00:27:56.000 Maybe they're in a position where their clients are people you might find distasteful, but you don't get to pick your clients if you're a big law firm, for example.

00:28:01.000 for example, you know, I mean, I could have, for example, like I had the choice,

00:28:04.000 well, I had some choices, but my choices were between Bill Cosby, when I was working at Big Law,

00:28:09.000 and there was a guy who had a Dirty Money episode made after him for running a, like, payday lending scheme

00:28:16.000 that the FTC sued him for a billion dollars over.

00:28:20.000 So like, that's the clients you represent, because those are the clients,

00:28:22.000 if you work at a big law firm, like.

00:28:23.000 And it's okay to not like those people, but like, I hate when people attack the lawyers

00:28:27.000 for defending those people, because that's the job.

00:28:30.000 That is your job, right?

00:28:31.000 I think, I don't know if you guys watch Better Call Saul.

00:28:33.000 If you don't, you should.

00:28:34.000 Excellent show.

00:28:35.000 Um, but one of the, one of the big themes in one of the later seasons is how, you know, one of the protagonist lawyers is representing a bank client and then is also kind of like screwing over that client to help the little guys who the bank is adverse to.

00:28:47.000 And it's like, there's like, that's a bad lawyer.

00:28:50.000 That's a bad lawyer.

00:28:50.000 Exactly.

00:28:51.000 And that's sort of the point that the show is making is it's like, it's giving you first, it kind of gives you the reason to sympathize with the lawyer and be like, Oh yeah, you know, she's working and trying to, you know, be Robin Hood here.

00:29:00.000 But the longer it goes on, the more you realize like, no, no, she's actually doing, she's the bad person here because she is betraying her client and like she eventually, you know, has to leave her firm and all that.

00:29:10.000 I know there's a bunch of jokes about lawyers, like I literally made one.

00:29:13.000 There's one I can't remember, but it's like a guy goes to hell, and then he's like, you know, or it's like a guy sells his soul to the devil, and then he goes to hell, and he's like, I need a lawyer, and then everyone raises their hand, or whatever the joke is, I don't know.

00:29:24.000 But I actually think most lawyers are good.

00:29:25.000 I actually think the overwhelming majority.

00:29:27.000 In my interactions, I have not actually experienced the stereotype of a bad lawyer.

00:29:33.000 Yeah, I mean, most of them are doing their jobs and trying to help their clients.

00:29:36.000 They're expensive because there's a cartel.

00:29:38.000 Yeah.

00:29:39.000 That's one reason.

00:29:39.000 And then, I mean, the worst are like- It's expensive to get barred and all that stuff, right?

00:29:44.000 Yeah, I mean, law school is expensive.

00:29:46.000 It's not just getting barred, right?

00:29:46.000 You have to go to law school in most places.

00:29:48.000 And being good, it costs money.

00:29:49.000 Is that the cartel?

00:29:50.000 Is it you gotta go to the expensive school?

00:29:52.000 You gotta go to law school and then pass a bar exam, right?

00:29:54.000 And both are usually a requirement in most states, so that's what, you know, I mean, people come out of law school, $150,000 in debt, and they put in three years of work, so it's like the starting pay to just even hire a lawyer is really high.

00:30:06.000 Not Kim Kardashian, though.

00:30:08.000 In California, you don't need no bar?

00:30:10.000 Well, I mean, in California, you don't need to go to law school, and I'm pretty sure Kim Kardashian went to law school. 0.99

00:30:15.000 She did, yeah.

00:30:18.000 That's good.

00:30:19.000 California has its own weird thing where you can not go to law school but pass the bar exam.

00:30:23.000 Or you can go to a non-accredited law school. 0.98

00:30:25.000 It's kind of crazy how you go to law school to try and become proficient, but then you realize having a big butt makes you more money. 0.98

00:30:32.000 That is true. 0.97

00:30:32.000 It's a plus. 0.97

00:30:34.000 So it's crazy like on Instagram there's like, I don't want to call anybody out, but there's like these women who have, let's say they do specific talents. 1.00

00:30:47.000 Like, they sing, or they're skiers or snowboarders.

00:30:52.000 And then it's like, I'll see the video of, you know, them doing their skill, but then every other video is like, you know, busty cleavage showing, or like booty shaking and stuff like that, and those are the ones that get most of the views.

00:31:03.000 And it's like, well, duh, you know what I mean?

00:31:05.000 I wonder what's the point of even doing the other videos if, like, in the end you realize, like, where the- I'll tell you- I'll tell you a better story.

00:31:13.000 There was this, uh, woman on YouTube. 1.00

00:31:15.000 This was, like, six years ago.

00:31:17.000 I was at YouTube.

00:31:18.000 I was talking with Google people about this.

00:31:20.000 She played guitar and she sang.

00:31:22.000 Her videos would get a few thousand views. 0.51

00:31:24.000 If you go into her library, you'd see one day she went from like 2,000 to like 200,000 on her video views.

00:31:31.000 And it was amazing.

00:31:32.000 It's like, wow, she had her big break.

00:31:33.000 She must've put out a really good song.

00:31:35.000 And you know what the big difference was between the video before with low views and the video high with many views?

00:31:40.000 Cleavage?

00:31:43.000 Cleavage! 0.98

00:31:43.000 She started wearing like bathing suit tops with her boobs on her guitar as she played. 0.98

00:31:49.000 And then the views went through the roof.

00:31:51.000 I find it unfortunate that the sex appeal has become a gateway drug to the true passion of these people.

00:31:56.000 But it works, because they know it.

00:31:57.000 They tap into it.

00:31:58.000 The second you post some cleavage, then they get more views. 0.55

00:32:02.000 I wonder if it matters.

00:32:03.000 I'm going to try it tomorrow.

00:32:03.000 Do it.

00:32:04.000 Do it now.

00:32:04.000 I'm going to try it right now.

00:32:06.000 Adele did not get big and famous through, like, trying to be this sexy supermodel. 1.00

00:32:11.000 Yeah, she's a big girl. 0.99

00:32:12.000 Yeah.

00:32:12.000 I mean, she lost a lot of weight.

00:32:13.000 Yeah.

00:32:14.000 But she just made really great music.

00:32:15.000 And that worked.

00:32:16.000 I'm like, I genuinely don't know.

00:32:18.000 Do these women feel, like, lesser because it's not the skill or talent that got them there? 1.00

00:32:24.000 It's the sex appeal?

00:32:24.000 Or does it matter?

00:32:25.000 Might be the competition on social media.

00:32:27.000 It's like when people are mad at certain pop stars like Miley Cyrus or Billie Eilish when they start out as one thing and then they mutate into the sexy thing.

00:32:36.000 I think the industry might be pressuring them.

00:32:39.000 It could be social media.

00:32:41.000 I mean, you gotta wonder, like, you look at the Kardashians and like, do they care?

00:32:44.000 might have been with Hannah Montana are now with, you know, I mean, you got to wonder, like, you look at the Kardashians

00:32:50.000 and like, do they care? I mean, like, isn't I don't know which one's the

00:32:54.000 billionaire one, like Kylie or whatever. One of Kylie Jenner.

00:32:58.000 I think there's multiple billionaires.

00:33:01.000 I think Kim is.

00:33:01.000 I think she's the youngest billionaire.

00:33:04.000 Yeah, Kylie Jenner is the youngest billionaire. 1.00

00:33:06.000 Do you think she cares that people are going to be like, you got famous off your ass? 1.00

00:33:12.000 Her sister got famous with a sex tape, right? 1.00

00:33:15.000 Relative to her family, she's like, I was pretty conservative.

00:33:18.000 But you know, you know, the other thing too is like, um, I was reading about, I think it's Kylie.

00:33:22.000 I don't know a lot about the Jenners, but, uh, it's not just sex appeal that got her to be a billionaire. 1.00

00:33:27.000 Like it's, it's legit business.

00:33:29.000 I think they're also really smart.

00:33:30.000 They're super smart.

00:33:31.000 Yes.

00:33:32.000 That's what I was saying.

00:33:32.000 She went to like, Kim went to law school or whatever.

00:33:34.000 She got mentored.

00:33:35.000 I think it's what it is in California.

00:33:36.000 You can be mentored, but not go to law school, but still have to pass the bar.

00:33:41.000 Right, like I don't, I don't think, I don't think, but I don't know, you'd have to look it up if California actually has any requirement about taking, about going to law school, right?

00:33:49.000 To be barred.

00:33:50.000 Almost every other state does.

00:33:51.000 That makes sense for California.

00:33:53.000 I mean, it's, I think, probably it's risky, right?

00:33:57.000 Like the, but one, the bar exam is not that hard, frankly.

00:34:00.000 And then two, like there's a lot that you actually learn in the first year or two of law school.

00:34:04.000 The third year is We've all seen Legally Blonde. 0.99

00:34:09.000 What's in the third year?

00:34:12.000 The third year is a bunch of electives that you don't need to take, basically, and it's a way for the law school to make a little extra money off you.

00:34:19.000 Really, the first two years are what you need.

00:34:21.000 Sounds like the lawyer should overtake that and just chop it down to two years. 0.94

00:34:24.000 Well, the lawyers don't care once they've graduated, because their prices are already high and they're making money.

00:34:31.000 Once you're in the cartel, you don't have a reason to lower the bar and make it easier for other people to become a lawyer.

00:34:35.000 My experience with getting cast for the way you look is really an empty... I felt lousy.

00:34:41.000 Whenever I was in Hollywood doing it, if I got a modeling job and they'd take pictures, I'd just feel empty afterwards.

00:34:47.000 Especially when they start saying it, and they're like, we just want to promote your Sex appeal, Ian. 0.91

00:34:51.000 You're so sexual. 1.00

00:34:52.000 I want your sex. 1.00

00:34:53.000 I'm like, God, this, this industry is missing the mark, man. 0.99

00:34:57.000 You want good, good acting, good acting.

00:35:00.000 Wait, wait, is this like a prolonged, is the, that's not a joke.

00:35:02.000 Like you, you, you got modeling jobs in Los Angeles?

00:35:05.000 He's in more than one Super Bowl commercial?

00:35:08.000 I was in one Super Bowl commercial.

00:35:09.000 It was an Orbit gum commercial.

00:35:11.000 I did some commercials.

00:35:12.000 I did one TV show, Aliens in America.

00:35:14.000 I did the pilot of that show.

00:35:15.000 That was pretty fun.

00:35:16.000 We launched that.

00:35:17.000 And then I did a little bit of photography modeling stuff.

00:35:21.000 Is there not a painting downstairs of you ripped?

00:35:24.000 We should bring it up here.

00:35:26.000 Who's back on the wall?

00:35:28.000 As an eagle holding issue, I'm going to replace this with it.

00:35:30.000 Come on.

00:35:32.000 The glare might be too much of an issue.

00:35:34.000 The abs are too much.

00:35:36.000 And I think an example of the emptiness is you see in the cosmetic surgery that they...

00:35:38.000 I'm looking at it right now, is this...

00:35:40.000 Kylie Jenner has a cosmetic company.

00:35:42.000 So it's like, cosmetic, the way you look.

00:35:44.000 Of course.

00:35:46.000 The way you look, the way you hear.

00:35:49.000 That's the way she monetizes her Instagram, is makeup. 1.00

00:35:52.000 That, in my experience, leads to emptiness on the inside, but you know, it's a lot of money, so you kind of just pretend like it's okay.

00:35:59.000 Well, my problem with... So, as much as, like, in the culture war they would call me right-wing, I'm, like, particularly left, especially when it comes to these ultra-wealthy people who use their money and just keep amassing and hoarding and amassing and hoarding, and they're not doing anything.

00:36:15.000 That bums me out.

00:36:16.000 I'm also fairly libertarian, so I'm, like, I'm not gonna rag on them and force them to do anything with their money.

00:36:19.000 I just kind of accept the fact that people make money and then they do whatever they want with it, and it's like, okay, well, I wish they would do more.

00:36:24.000 Yeah.

00:36:25.000 The problem is... 0.99

00:36:26.000 Maybe it's better we're better off they don't because Mackenzie Bezos decided to do more with Jeff's money and then she funded a whole bunch of woke garbage. 1.00

00:36:34.000 So it's kind of like maybe we'd be better off if she bought a yacht with an infinity pool instead of funding woke racist BS. 1.00

00:36:40.000 Right. 1.00

00:36:41.000 Just as useless. 0.98

00:36:42.000 Like employ some people. 0.99

00:36:43.000 Right.

00:36:44.000 Like have.

00:36:45.000 Well, one Kardashian, Kim, has a company where it's like underwear and stuff like that.

00:36:50.000 And I've heard from a lot of different people that they love it.

00:36:52.000 Like it's actually really good.

00:36:53.000 And she's got a lot of people she employs. 0.99

00:36:55.000 So they're doing something.

00:36:57.000 And I don't want to knock on just the sex appeal because they are some of the ones that are always knocked on for how they look.

00:37:03.000 But they're doing something.

00:37:04.000 It's funny, because people would always say, like, the Kardashians are famous for being famous.

00:37:08.000 And it's like, you realize that means they're like some of the best marketers on the planet.

00:37:11.000 They're good at it.

00:37:12.000 Yeah, they're really good at it.

00:37:13.000 Well, I think they had actually a very strong family life, as you could say, as unconventional as with Bruce becoming Caitlyn.

00:37:21.000 But like, from what I was told, Bruce was a fantastic father, like a stepfather to these girls.

00:37:26.000 And their mom is a brilliant woman.

00:37:28.000 Like, I've only seen the show in passing.

00:37:30.000 My mom was a big fan of the show, actually.

00:37:32.000 Which was really weird, because she doesn't watch that stuff at all.

00:37:34.000 She's like, they're actually really, really smart people.

00:37:36.000 Interesting.

00:37:37.000 Yeah, I think they're really good at shaping reality.

00:37:39.000 Like I can never say how they really are a family, but they're good at making it look like they're good at family.

00:37:43.000 Yeah, like Trump, like Trump, like it's all it's all just a facade.

00:37:46.000 Oh, man, Trump endorsing those Democrats was dying.

00:37:52.000 And then you saw that that woman took the bait. 0.99

00:37:54.000 Right?

00:37:55.000 Yulin Niu is running against Goldman.

00:37:59.000 And then I think that's Dan Goldman, right?

00:38:00.000 Yeah.

00:38:01.000 And then she was like, Trump just endorsed my opponent.

00:38:03.000 And then people were like, why?

00:38:05.000 And she's like, because he's trying to stop the left.

00:38:07.000 And it's like, dude, she knows. 1.00

00:38:10.000 But she's like, unless these people are really that daft, man. 0.99

00:38:13.000 But, you know, where would we be without Trump? 0.99

00:38:17.000 Like, this would be a very boring reality.

00:38:19.000 We would have Hillary Clinton. 1.00

00:38:21.000 Hillary would probably still be the president. 1.00

00:38:24.000 Libya, for sure. 0.89

00:38:25.000 We'd probably have invaded and had forces in Syria.

00:38:27.000 Yeah.

00:38:28.000 Wars everywhere.

00:38:29.000 The Russian thing, I don't know.

00:38:30.000 The Ukraine thing would probably still be happening. 0.98

00:38:32.000 We wouldn't be talking about politics.

00:38:34.000 This wouldn't be a politics show if you were doing it still.

00:38:37.000 If Trump wasn't here?

00:38:38.000 If Trump hadn't been elected, politics would have been so boring and depressing.

00:38:41.000 Oh, right, right, right.

00:38:42.000 Because it would have been back to, you know, 2012-era Uniparty.

00:38:48.000 I disagree to a certain degree.

00:38:51.000 We wouldn't be talking about electoral politics so much.

00:38:54.000 We'd be talking about conflict, crisis, war, and things like that.

00:38:57.000 Because that's what I was involved with covering.

00:39:01.000 More grassroots activism stuff, more cultural stuff.

00:39:04.000 So we'd probably be talking... I'll put it this way.

00:39:07.000 The woke stuff would have been ramped up way faster.

00:39:11.000 We would have.

00:39:12.000 Look, I don't know exactly what would have happened with the pandemic, but it would have been way more extreme, way harsher.

00:39:17.000 So I think politics would have happened to a certain degree, no matter what.

00:39:21.000 But it would be, like you said, very uniparty establishment and it would not be pop culture.

00:39:26.000 So this show would probably exist.

00:39:28.000 We'd probably talk about it, probably be a lot smaller.

00:39:31.000 Yeah, like I mean it would just be much more depressing because I remember I don't know if you felt this way but politics and like from during the Obama era Was depressing and it's not just because like Obama was like bad or horrible.

00:39:42.000 It was because there was no distinction between him and Romney I guess you guys remember the debates between Obama and Romney.

00:39:48.000 No, if there's at some point like a little bit I There was a foreign policy debate.

00:39:52.000 It was the last debate of that presidential election.

00:39:54.000 I remember it distinctly because I remember posting something like, I have a Mormon drinking game and the drinking game is drink whenever they articulate a difference on foreign policy, right? 0.53

00:40:03.000 Like, you would just, you'd stay sober.

00:40:06.000 It was like, it was a debate where Mitt Romney did not disagree with anything Obama said for an hour and a half.

00:40:11.000 They both agreed about bringing jobs back.

00:40:14.000 Well, no, the economy stuff is where Romney tried to distinguish himself and did an okay job in that second debate.

00:40:18.000 It was the one where he's like, oh, I approve of what you're doing in Libya.

00:40:21.000 Hmm.

00:40:22.000 That's a great idea.

00:40:23.000 Oh, I approve of this in Syria. 1.00

00:40:24.000 Yeah, you're exactly right about the red line.

00:40:27.000 Is this after the dog being on the car?

00:40:29.000 Yeah.

00:40:32.000 So yeah, it just would have been so boring.

00:40:34.000 And I mean, I think, you know, I'm glad we had Trump for that reason, because now we really have two different parties.

00:40:40.000 I've been thinking about Ukraine a lot.

00:40:41.000 I want to know what you guys think about this is like right now.

00:40:44.000 What it looks like is that the American British French have like troops in Ukraine on the front of Russia.

00:40:52.000 It'd be like if Russia had troops all along the western coast of California and blockaded all the sea access because basically Ukraine's blocking Russia's access to the Black Sea.

00:41:02.000 So like if all of I don't know.

00:41:06.000 Let's just say Mexico and the Gulf.

00:41:07.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:41:08.000 Or if they put a bunch of troops, you know, on the Rio Grande and then start blocking our access to the Gulf or something like that.

00:41:14.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:41:15.000 But it's like we'd have all of California except a very thin strip of land along the coast so that we had no coastal access.

00:41:21.000 No one would stand for that.

00:41:22.000 It would be insane.

00:41:23.000 But a better way to put it is if Russia started putting troops in Mexico and Canada.

00:41:27.000 Or Alaska.

00:41:28.000 On our border.

00:41:29.000 So this is the crazy thing.

00:41:30.000 You guys saw that video of Marin, the Finnish Prime Minister?

00:41:35.000 And she's like shaking it and bouncing it and all that stuff.

00:41:39.000 You know, look, I don't care if someone wants to party, but as the Prime Minister, when you are facing nuclear deployment by Russia for joining NATO and you are on the border of this country, And that's your prime minister.

00:41:53.000 Like, I got no problem with people wanting to dance and have a good time.

00:41:56.000 I do have an issue with having a world leader who is acting more like a 16-year-old girl.

00:42:03.000 Yeah, come on. 0.77

00:42:03.000 As opposed to a 40-year-old woman. 0.77

00:42:05.000 I think it's a function of the fact that the EU has basically, like, swamped the major functions of most of these sovereigns. 0.93

00:42:11.000 And so you end up with this very, like, Ridiculous. 0.91

00:42:14.000 You get enough with some ridiculous leaders in some of these countries and you compare that actually this is a weird analogy. 0.96

00:42:19.000 Finland is a vassal state for the EU. 0.79

00:42:21.000 You know what's something about Israel that's really interesting?

00:42:24.000 If you actually look at the pictures of their politicians and their leaders, they're never smiling.

00:42:29.000 Never ever smiling they're very very serious because that's sort of like that's the political Israel like you're constantly Defending against a bunch of grungy surrounding you like and you look at American politicians complete reverse, right? 0.78

00:42:41.000 Yeah, American politicians are always smiling in their profile Have you ever looked at like the evolution of the smile and presidential portraits?

00:42:46.000 No over the years.

00:42:47.000 It's really fun I forget where it turns the George Washington frump Yeah.

00:42:50.000 There is a moment where presidents start to smile.

00:42:55.000 I forget where that is.

00:42:56.000 It might be around Nixon or something.

00:42:57.000 And then it's full on big smile.

00:42:59.000 You know, we need, we need Trump when he wins in 2025 to just go like full

00:43:04.000 grimace, like, yeah, I'm coming for you.

00:43:06.000 I'm going to keep saying it. 0.99

00:43:07.000 Right, right, dark maggot.

00:43:12.000 I'm not a big, I mean, I definitely don't support invasion, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, I'm not a big, but I understand why they did, and I think it's purely to have sea access.

00:43:21.000 Because if Russia had blocked off Alaskan, Western, all the coast, and just that was Russia, and we couldn't get boats out, it would be, come on, you don't even have a state if you don't have the sea access.

00:43:30.000 You are correct.

00:43:31.000 The Black Sea is their only warm water port.

00:43:34.000 They use that for access to the Mediterranean, and the reason why Syria is an important ally is because they have the military base in Tartus.

00:43:41.000 So the actions the US was taking to put a pipeline through Syria and opposing the Assad regime was a direct threat to Russia's naval base, then with Ukraine wanting to go towards the EU.

00:43:56.000 So this is really interesting, man.

00:43:57.000 The politics are really interesting.

00:44:00.000 The EU offered them money with contingencies.

00:44:03.000 Russia offered them money with different contingencies.

00:44:05.000 Russia seems to have, according to some arguments, a kind of better deal.

00:44:09.000 But Ukrainians don't like Russia for a very obvious reason.

00:44:13.000 Do you know what that reason is?

00:44:14.000 It's the Holodomor.

00:44:16.000 And so when I went there and talked to people, they said, even if the deal is not as good with the EU, we want Schengen zone access.

00:44:23.000 So this seems better for us.

00:44:25.000 Yeah.

00:44:26.000 This was a huge threat to Russia because they knew they would lose Crimea where they had a base and their only access to the warm water, the Black Sea warm water port.

00:44:34.000 So, of course, Russia then goes in and basically takes Crimea.

00:44:37.000 The West at the time was very much in favor of the ongoing revolution or whatever you want to call it, the revolt against Yanukovych.

00:44:46.000 Russia viewed that as To the outside world in the news, it was a protest.

00:44:51.000 It was people protesting and declaring a new government.

00:44:53.000 In reality, it was NATO influence, EU influence versus the Russian, the expansion of Russia and their desire for a trade federation.

00:45:00.000 Some say Putin wanted to bring back the Soviet Union in some capacity or just outright.

00:45:04.000 So this has always been a deeper political conflict that's bubbling up to war, except For when Donald Trump got elected and everything started to simmer down and calm down.

00:45:15.000 ISIS was defeated.

00:45:16.000 Things started to stabilize a bit in the Middle East.

00:45:18.000 It wasn't all perfect.

00:45:19.000 I mean, there was missile strikes in Assyria.

00:45:21.000 Yeah, the Saudi Arabian Yemen.

00:45:22.000 But Russia was backing off until Joe Biden comes back and then Russia ramps everything back up because Putin knew Joe Biden and the uniparty regime, the establishment, was going to try and destabilize the region and gain more power, control, and expand.

00:45:37.000 The crazy thing about NATO's purpose is resisting the Soviet Union.

00:45:41.000 The Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore.

00:45:43.000 You have the remnants in Russia.

00:45:45.000 But NATO keeps expanding.

00:45:47.000 It is a rapid military expansion, now taking in Sweden and Finland, and that is, whether you like it or not, whether it's good or bad for America, a direct threat to many countries in that region.

00:45:57.000 And if you're worried, if you look at the expansion of the Soviet Union, if you look at the expansion into Vietnam, this is one of the reasons the U.S. 0.82

00:46:04.000 wanted to get involved, to stop the communist expansion, the Korean War.

00:46:06.000 We understand why militaristic expansion is a bad thing.

00:46:10.000 Once the Soviets collapse, the U.S. 0.74

00:46:12.000 ramps it up.

00:46:13.000 When there's no direct threat, of course Russia's gonna lose their mind.

00:46:17.000 Now you got China doing these joint military drills.

00:46:19.000 And I'll tell you, man, people like Biden, I think they revel in it.

00:46:23.000 I think they want it.

00:46:25.000 I think their attitude is, you know, it's like that famous story about the Napoleonic Wars.

00:46:30.000 Someone ran, you know, horseback to England and said, Napoleon won!

00:46:34.000 The stocks all collapsed and they bought it all up.

00:46:36.000 And they're like, actually he lost.

00:46:37.000 And then the stocks spike back up and now they bought them all again.

00:46:40.000 Catastrophe is great for people who want to exploit the crisis.

00:46:43.000 It's great for the war machine.

00:46:45.000 I think they know it.

00:46:46.000 I think they're thinking oil profits, more control, more access, more expansion. 0.99

00:46:50.000 Be damned. 1.00

00:46:51.000 Whoever gets killed because of it. 1.00

00:46:53.000 I hope people don't conflate the Russian people with communism anymore, just like the Chinese people with communism.

00:46:59.000 Because the CCP is in control of that country.

00:47:02.000 It's basically occupying China. 0.86

00:47:04.000 And the Soviet communist dictatorship was occupying the Russian people for 100 years.

00:47:09.000 They're gone now.

00:47:10.000 And communism lost.

00:47:12.000 But the Uniparty has a stranglehold over the American people who overwhelmingly reject the wars that we have been engaging in.

00:47:20.000 It's remarkable, if you look at the polls, it's like, do you want war?

00:47:23.000 It's like 87%.

00:47:24.000 No war!

00:47:24.000 Yet we keep finding ourselves entangled in them.

00:47:27.000 It's because we are subjugated by the uniparty that will go to war no matter what you want, and they'll do it without congressional authority like they're supposed to get. 1.00

00:47:37.000 Except for Donald Trump.

00:47:39.000 So a lot of people complain about Trump's increasing of the drone strikes.

00:47:42.000 I think it's bad, but you take a look at the fact that he was withdrawing our troops, that he was negotiating peace deals in the Middle East, he was negotiating peace deals in North Korea, and in exchange, you basically got our troops coming back, but drone strikes increasing in some areas.

00:47:56.000 And it's not even Obama, I still think, had more drone strikes.

00:48:00.000 Three every hour, every day for a whole year in 2015.

00:48:05.000 Luke Ricalci was explaining Trump made them secretive, though.

00:48:08.000 We don't know how many he...

00:48:09.000 That's false control.

00:48:10.000 And he also gave control of it to his generals so that he wasn't even calling the shots anymore.

00:48:13.000 He gave...

00:48:14.000 I mean, I'm the, like, you know, kind of like the contrarian here in a weird way, but I'm

00:48:19.000 sort of, I, along these lines, like, do you want Trump to not crush ISIS in Syria?

00:48:24.000 No, I agree with you.

00:48:26.000 The issue is we want to get our troops out.

00:48:27.000 We don't want to be this expansionist military state.

00:48:29.000 But that means, if you look at Afghanistan, you can't just snap your fingers and leave.

00:48:34.000 Now, Ron Paul had a great statement.

00:48:35.000 He says, if you're given the wrong medication, you don't stay on it.

00:48:38.000 You got to get off of it.

00:48:39.000 I agree.

00:48:40.000 But you also got to get off of it slowly, depending on what it is.

00:48:42.000 You can't just cut cold turkey.

00:48:44.000 And I also, like, think about the counterfactual.

00:48:46.000 I think, you know, Peter Thiel made this point.

00:48:48.000 People would criticize him for Palantir and the company that, you know, like... What a name.

00:48:53.000 Yeah.

00:48:53.000 It's a, I mean, it's a heck of a name.

00:48:55.000 It's like Middle Earth, I think.

00:48:56.000 Yeah.

00:48:56.000 It's a scrying mechanism.

00:48:59.000 But they would drive you insane slowly because Sauron was peering into your soul as you used it.

00:49:03.000 Right.

00:49:03.000 That's what he named his company.

00:49:04.000 And so like he's supposed to be this libertarian and they're getting on him for setting up this like surveillance software that really helps the federal government track terrorists and things like that.

00:49:14.000 But Thiel made this argument.

00:49:15.000 He's like, do you think civil liberties would be better in a world where there's another 9-11 or do you think they will be worse?

00:49:21.000 Right, and so I think the counterfactual here is if you don't have sufficient drone strikes to stop terrorism, to deter, and to stop attacks here, do you think, and in a world where there is an attack here, what do you think the end outcome of that will be?

00:49:32.000 Like, if you want to keep us out of war, then the argument goes, then you need some sort of, like, low-level deterrence in, like, what's the incapacitation of certain people.

00:49:43.000 And I agree only so far as the invasion was wrong in the first place.

00:49:48.000 But to get off of that, you can't just pull the troops out like Biden did with surrendering the Bagram Air Force Base and all that stuff.

00:49:48.000 Right.

00:49:55.000 My attitude is like, I don't like that we're in Afghanistan.

00:49:57.000 Okay, how do we get out?

00:49:58.000 Let's pull our people back and keep drones for security. 0.99

00:50:02.000 And then slowly we can rescind it when the region remains stable with the Afghan National Security Forces.

00:50:07.000 Yeah.

00:50:07.000 It's also the incompetence of some of those drone strikes that kills me.

00:50:10.000 I understand we need drone strikes to wipe out some of the bad people, but when they kill the family... You want to hear a joke?

00:50:16.000 Of course.

00:50:16.000 Let me sip this whiskey.

00:50:18.000 What's the difference between a... What's the difference between a... I might get in trouble on YouTube.

00:50:25.000 What's the difference between a children's hospital And a terror den.

00:50:30.000 A terrorist HQ.

00:50:33.000 The Children's Hospital got hit with a drone strike?

00:50:35.000 I don't know, I just fly the drone.

00:50:37.000 That's terrible.

00:50:39.000 That's not even a joke.

00:50:41.000 That's an old joke too, that's from the Obama era.

00:50:43.000 The big problem is people like terrorists or whoever will go into a hospital and use it as a human shield.

00:50:50.000 They'll be like, hey, they'll be less likely to bomb me if I'm in here and they'll be firing anti-aircraft from the hospital.

00:50:55.000 You're like, well, now what choice do I have?

00:50:57.000 Even though we're not technically at war.

00:50:58.000 That's basically the entire Israel-Palestine conflict, right?

00:51:01.000 Like, that's the Palestinians' grand strategy is to eventually get Israel to attack their human shields to the point that eventually the international community just comes down on Israel.

00:51:13.000 Palestinians don't have any other strategy to victory. 0.98

00:51:15.000 That is their intent.

00:51:16.000 That's why they use human shields.

00:51:18.000 And I think, like, you know, I'm not going to defend everything Israel does all the time, but when you bring that up, it's like they attack you as if you're some kind of, like, Zionist. 0.55

00:51:27.000 It's like, dude, they're launching rockets out of schools.

00:51:31.000 Like, come on!

00:51:32.000 The other thing that's crazy about the drone stuff is just how dystopian it is to live in a place where they're constantly in the sky, like bombing your land.

00:51:39.000 I worked at, I was a furniture mover for like 10 years, and we'd get like prayer rugs from places all over the, from the Middle East, and we started to see a lot of prayer rugs that had drones stitched into the border of them.

00:51:49.000 And it was just like a thing that would happen a lot.

00:51:49.000 Whoa!

00:51:52.000 So it was like, it's just crazy how it affected just the people, normal people.

00:51:57.000 Which is, I still understand why we need it, but it's also so insane

00:52:01.000 that the sky is raining bombs constantly.

00:52:03.000 That's true.

00:52:03.000 And I think we have to put it all in context.

00:52:05.000 And my thing is like, when you start from the position of,

00:52:09.000 I don't think we should have been over there in the first place. 0.99

00:52:11.000 The invasions were all really dumb and bad. 0.96

00:52:12.000 Ron Paul had a great comment a long time ago about market reprisal. 0.99

00:52:16.000 Al Qaeda did it. 0.99

00:52:17.000 We do surgical strikes under market reprisal, not declarations of war against entire countries deposing their governments.

00:52:22.000 And so we end up in that.

00:52:24.000 And I'm a kid.

00:52:26.000 It's beyond my power and my involvement in politics.

00:52:29.000 Now we want to get out.

00:52:30.000 And that means I don't want American troops on the corners occupying cities.

00:52:35.000 I think that's worse than sometimes a drone is flying overhead and it's being used to enforce security, but I still think it's bad.

00:52:43.000 My ideal is that with Afghanistan, Trump negotiated this withdrawal.

00:52:46.000 We slowly start pulling troops out, but we make sure we're handing off security to the Afghan security forces and maintaining a light drone presence a little bit longer for security to back them up.

00:52:56.000 And then eventually we're gone and you got a stabilized country.

00:53:01.000 Instead, Joe Biden evacuates Bagram in the middle of the night without telling the security forces.

00:53:05.000 Looters come in.

00:53:07.000 Then all of a sudden the Afghan forces were caught off guard with no plan.

00:53:11.000 And so instantly the entire infrastructure is splattered.

00:53:15.000 Taliban rushes in, wins. 0.92

00:53:17.000 Civilians, American soldiers die.

00:53:20.000 That I can only imagine was intentional.

00:53:22.000 Well, it's like the air support just evaporated, right?

00:53:25.000 I think I read an article about this.

00:53:26.000 It was something about how when the moment that when Biden withdrew, it wasn't the way that these like remote outpost bases that the government was holding, the Afghan government's holding onto, they were all supported by air.

00:53:39.000 They didn't have like convoys go to them.

00:53:41.000 They were supported by helicopter.

00:53:43.000 That's how they resupplied.

00:53:45.000 And the moment that, like, the U.S.

00:53:46.000 air support fell apart, it's like, well, the entire Afghan army falls apart at that point because they were completely dependent on American contractors providing logistics.

00:53:56.000 Biden told everyone that he was gonna pull out on that day.

00:54:00.000 People knew that that was it.

00:54:01.000 That was the day they were planning on it.

00:54:03.000 So, like, the Taliban saw it coming.

00:54:05.000 They were ready.

00:54:05.000 Like, that day they all rushed in because they were like, oh, And that's true.

00:54:09.000 He delayed it from Trump's original timeline, but the idea... September 11th. 1.00

00:54:13.000 Some stupid, symbolic nonsense. 1.00

00:54:13.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:54:18.000 No, no, no.

00:54:18.000 Sorry to interrupt.

00:54:19.000 I mean, that's it.

00:54:19.000 I mean, Trump brought the Taliban in and had negotiations with them about how this is going to go down and how we're going to leave and what he expects of them in this move.

00:54:32.000 And once he's out, they knew Biden.

00:54:35.000 I think Biden did it on purpose.

00:54:37.000 They saw the opportunity.

00:54:39.000 Their assumption was probably like, he's handing it over to us, now's our chance to take it.

00:54:42.000 Didn't the corporate media rag on Trump for even having talks with Taliban when that happened too?

00:54:47.000 Because he brought him to Camp David?

00:54:49.000 Is that where Will?

00:54:49.000 Yeah.

00:54:51.000 I don't know about that, if they went to Camp David, but yeah, I know the media got on it.

00:54:55.000 How dare you negotiate with Kim Jong-un?

00:54:57.000 How dare you negotiate with the Taliban? 0.89

00:54:59.000 We hate peace.

00:55:02.000 It's like that Game of Thrones line, you only make peace with your enemies, right?

00:55:05.000 Like, you know, wake up.

00:55:07.000 It was Camp David.

00:55:08.000 Yeah, I don't know if it ever actually panned out.

00:55:09.000 I think it was going to happen.

00:55:10.000 He canceled it.

00:55:11.000 He canceled it.

00:55:12.000 But yeah, he had planned to bring them to Washington and to Camp David.

00:55:15.000 I'm all about diplomacy, man.

00:55:17.000 Diplomacy first.

00:55:18.000 Absolutely.

00:55:18.000 But I don't know if that helps Raytheon's bottom line, if that's a part of the equation.

00:55:22.000 Probably not.

00:55:23.000 Or Caliburn's or Boeing's or Northrop Grumman.

00:55:24.000 Can we still blow up bombs on other planets or in safe places?

00:55:29.000 So they don't lose their bottom line.

00:55:29.000 Got it.

00:55:30.000 Let's do it.

00:55:31.000 Let's, let's all get Congress to pass a bill guaranteeing funding for all of these companies to fire the rockets at Mars.

00:55:40.000 To heat up the planet.

00:55:41.000 Right.

00:55:41.000 Yeah.

00:55:42.000 To heat the planet up, kick some dust in the air, maybe melt some ice or something.

00:55:46.000 It'll stop the war here. 0.98

00:55:48.000 They'll stop incentivizing the war machine because they'll still be getting paid.

00:55:51.000 We'll be learning how to do interplanetary bombing raids, which we'll probably use in the future.

00:55:55.000 That's an earth first policy.

00:55:57.000 Bomb the planets. 0.92

00:55:59.000 Let's talk about the apocalypse, my friends.

00:56:00.000 We got this story from the New York Post.

00:56:02.000 Billionaire Peter Thiel's $13.5 million dream home in New Zealand is doomed.

00:56:07.000 It's been characterized as a doomsday bunker or, you know, emergency hideout.

00:56:12.000 There's been a bunch of billionaires that have been talking about the end of days and wanting to build something in this story.

00:56:17.000 Actually, I don't know if they have pictures.

00:56:19.000 It's really amazing.

00:56:20.000 I mean, this is super cool.

00:56:21.000 Like, it's like hidden.

00:56:22.000 The guys who designed the Olympics in Tokyo designed this.

00:56:27.000 Wow.

00:56:28.000 Why are they opposing this, actually?

00:56:29.000 I mean, if you're talking about it's like a zoning dispute, isn't that very in harmony with the existing terrain?

00:56:36.000 It's bad for the economy or whatever.

00:56:37.000 But a few years ago, I think there's a CNN article out there that says this exact area was becoming like a doomsday prepper paradise.

00:56:44.000 It is.

00:56:44.000 There's a lot of them out there.

00:56:46.000 Matt Lauer's there.

00:56:47.000 Yep, yep, yep.

00:56:48.000 Millionaires and billionaires have, first, for the, since, like the stories that are coming out in like 2017 after Trump gets elected, millionaires and billionaires, and I'm talking about like high-level millionaires, not like somebody who's got like 10 million, but somebody who's worth like 750, they're building emergency bunkers in New Zealand.

00:57:05.000 They've got, one of the craziest stories I read is that they carved out mountains with landing strips

00:57:10.000 so you can fly into the mountain to land, like in Kingsman.

00:57:15.000 You guys see Kingsman when they land in the mountain?

00:57:17.000 So it's like the bad guy wants to kill everybody because the planet's overheating.

00:57:20.000 It's basically like a Bill Gates who started a tech company.

00:57:24.000 And then he's like, he's got a list, but he's like, the planet is heating up.

00:57:28.000 And so it's going to create a virus, which is climate change, and it's going to kill everybody. 0.79

00:57:32.000 And so he wants to force, he wants to kill everybody to stop that from happening. 0.94

00:57:36.000 And it's like, okay. 0.88

00:57:37.000 So anyway, like they land their planes in this mountain.

00:57:40.000 That's, I've read stories about that.

00:57:42.000 Also, you take a look at like Montana.

00:57:45.000 Montana, Wyoming.

00:57:46.000 That's cool.

00:57:47.000 Tanning spot in Montana.

00:57:48.000 It's one state.

00:57:50.000 Someone's about to incorporate right now.

00:57:52.000 Wyoming.

00:57:53.000 No, we don't need to reduce.

00:57:56.000 We need to, we need to make more states.

00:57:57.000 There needs to be East and West Wyoming.

00:58:00.000 We need more Republican senators. 1.00

00:58:02.000 Yeah, we should split West Virginia into East West Virginia and West West Virginia.

00:58:06.000 Southeast Virginia.

00:58:10.000 So anyway, here's I did this as my my 4 p.m.

00:58:13.000 Segment, but my question to you guys is we'll expand this conversation are Millionaires are the millionaires and the billionaires are they building this stuff because they know something we don't Or is it because they got money to kick around and they said why not?

00:58:25.000 I think some might, but there's also lots of people with lots of money buying places on the coast, and they're also telling us the coasts are going to flood soon.

00:58:35.000 So maybe some do, maybe some don't.

00:58:37.000 It's like a weird type of insurance policy, you know?

00:58:41.000 I don't think Teal is necessarily a giant techno-pessimist.

00:58:45.000 I mean, he does a lot of other things, right?

00:58:47.000 He's funding senators, and he has a lot of different projects, or Senate races, rather.

00:58:52.000 But this strikes me as the kind of thing that's like, okay, it's the same reason some of these people get dual citizenship in St.

00:58:58.000 Kitts and Nevis or something.

00:58:59.000 Exactly, yeah.

00:59:00.000 He's a New Zealand citizen now.

00:59:01.000 Right.

00:59:01.000 So it's just a backup.

00:59:03.000 Like, okay, things could get bad.

00:59:05.000 I don't think he has a huge...

00:59:07.000 That's the question.

00:59:09.000 That's what I'm saying, right?

00:59:09.000 So you got a rich dude.

00:59:11.000 Peter Thiel's worth $7.7 billion, reportedly.

00:59:13.000 And so you got that much money, okay?

00:59:16.000 It's gonna cost you $13 million out of his $7.7 billion?

00:59:21.000 Dude, he farts that much money.

00:59:22.000 Yeah, that's a hell yes in my book.

00:59:24.000 Yeah, so he's probably like, I gotta buy some.

00:59:26.000 Hey! 0.99

00:59:27.000 Uh, Bill, set up a company and build me this thing in New Zealand.

00:59:29.000 Yeah, I mean, you think about that, right?

00:59:31.000 Like you can, you're making, you know, if he's got a billion, investments are going to make like, what, 8% a year generally.

00:59:36.000 So you're thinking you're, if you, he just can screw around and play with a 5% of his net worth every year.

00:59:41.000 Okay.

00:59:41.000 Well, 7.7 billion, do the math.

00:59:42.000 5 billion, you know, 5, 5% of 7 billion is what?

00:59:46.000 But don't even, I'm not even, who even cares about growth?

00:59:49.000 350 million?

00:59:49.000 At 7.7 billion, you don't have to work for multiple generations.

00:59:53.000 Like your kids are, are gonna have to work.

00:59:55.000 Yeah.

00:59:55.000 So, I mean, it's, yeah, I mean, this is just play money, right?

00:59:57.000 That's why he's thinking about having a meditation space in a doomsday bunker.

01:00:01.000 That's a real luxury.

01:00:02.000 That's the last thing I'd be thinking about in my doomsday bunker.

01:00:04.000 It's a very, very small, very like trivial insurance policy for like the, you know, hedging against the collapse of the United States or United States becoming particularly inhospitable.

01:00:13.000 Look at the view.

01:00:14.000 Is this an actual picture from his... I think it's a mock-up.

01:00:17.000 It's so beautiful.

01:00:18.000 If the view is anything like that, then that's better than just an insurance policy.

01:00:21.000 It's a vacation home.

01:00:22.000 Are you safe from their Prime Minister, though, even out there in New Zealand?

01:00:25.000 Because she's like the worst.

01:00:27.000 How does that work?

01:00:28.000 How rich do you have to be to be off the Prime Minister's radar?

01:00:32.000 No, it doesn't work that way, man.

01:00:32.000 I don't know what her.

01:00:34.000 You're stuck.

01:00:35.000 I can't remember who we had on the show talking about how wealth is meaningless in an apocalypse.

01:00:41.000 So you think you own something?

01:00:43.000 Why?

01:00:44.000 So like, anybody who owns a house knows this.

01:00:46.000 Why do you own the house?

01:00:47.000 Because someone wrote on a piece of paper you own the house?

01:00:50.000 Good luck when some, like a group of dudes, like five guys with shaved heads and ARs walk up and say, get out, it's my house.

01:00:56.000 And you go, but I have the paper.

01:00:58.000 And they go, that's funny, I have the gun.

01:01:00.000 So when the apocalypse happens and there's nobody to call, he can set this up, that's great.

01:01:05.000 And then he can be like, I'm rich and I'm a billionaire and I have this bunker.

01:01:09.000 And the prime minister, that crazy lady can show up with one guy who's got one gun and be like, it's ours now. 1.00

01:01:14.000 And unless he's got a way to defend himself, that's in an apocalypse when everything breaks down. 0.89

01:01:18.000 Your deed doesn't mean anything.

01:01:21.000 What you can defend is all that matters.

01:01:23.000 And guess what?

01:01:24.000 Someone as rich as Peter Thiel, his net worth will drop to about $500,000 when an apocalypse happens.

01:01:30.000 Because his stocks, his investments, all that evaporate overnight.

01:01:34.000 If there's a global governmental crisis or collapse and war breaks out, We've not seen something to this extent.

01:01:41.000 Like, even in major wars, you'll still have international, like, assets.

01:01:46.000 Like, somebody from Britain can put assets in Switzerland and all that kind of stuff.

01:01:50.000 It's probably why Switzerland loved being neutral, and people loved that they were.

01:01:53.000 But if we actually had a total global breakdown of, like, international treaties and stuff, His net worth is what he can hold in his hands.

01:02:02.000 Who trusts him and who's going to back him up.

01:02:04.000 That's a big part of it.

01:02:05.000 Maybe crypto.

01:02:06.000 That's why you try and buy a place in New Zealand.

01:02:08.000 I mean, New Zealand is super remote, right?

01:02:10.000 Like the nearest place you can fly to is Australia and it's a three or four hour flight across.

01:02:14.000 It's thousands of miles.

01:02:15.000 And maybe he's banking in the apocalypse.

01:02:17.000 The prime minister just means nothing anyway.

01:02:19.000 Right, like, so he's just, okay, yeah, I'll go to my—I mean, and I think the odds of a universal global apocalypse seem low, right?

01:02:26.000 I think, again, you're hedging against a United States collapse.

01:02:29.000 Okay.

01:02:30.000 Right.

01:02:31.000 Yeah, man, St.

01:02:31.000 You know.

01:02:32.000 Kitts and Nevis, I think it costs $50,000 to be a citizen.

01:02:35.000 Yeah, there's there's different like small Caribbean countries that like I think St.

01:02:38.000 Kitts and Nevis is like the biggest one And they're and and people the rich people love that island because their passports are better than the American passport Because it's an it's an island nation of like no consequence So their passports are basically accepted everywhere because every country knows you're a rich dude is just gonna come and spend money in your country So like oh, whatever.

01:02:54.000 Yeah Wow Yeah, so you can, you can basically, I don't, I've never actually researched this, but I've had friends tell me about people who, that you go there, you put, you give them 50 grand and they hand you your passport, you're a citizen.

01:03:06.000 Do you guys have dual citizenship or multi-citizenship?

01:03:08.000 I have dual citizenship.

01:03:09.000 Where is it?

01:03:10.000 Germany.

01:03:11.000 Oh, really?

01:03:12.000 Yeah, so I'm half Jewish, right?

01:03:14.000 And my grandmother had to leave Germany in, I don't remember, I forget, is it 38?

01:03:19.000 I think she left really very late.

01:03:22.000 And so the German government has a program for people who, like in their view, would have been born in Germany or would have been German descendants, but for the Nazis, that they can apply for German citizenship for a cheap, for a relatively cheap, like a couple grand or something.

01:03:37.000 There's actually a bunch of countries that do things like that regardless of displacement.

01:03:40.000 Like if you are the grandson or daughter of someone who is a citizen who like emigrated, you can apply and get it.

01:03:49.000 I think in South Korea, you can get a B visa if you're the grandson or daughter of a Korean citizen.

01:03:55.000 Yeah, my wife could do that with Greece because her dad's from Greece. 0.76

01:03:58.000 So she hasn't, but she could.

01:04:00.000 Well, I mean, that's her dad.

01:04:02.000 So like that, that's, that feels kind of like it should be that way.

01:04:05.000 But even a grandparent, I kind of feel like is an extension.

01:04:08.000 My grandmother was a German citizen before she fled.

01:04:11.000 Right.

01:04:12.000 So, you know, that's, uh, and I mean, honestly, it's not really that valuable in the sense of, I mean, well, I can, when I go to Europe, I get to go through the short line if I have my passport with me and conceivably, if I wanted to go work in the EU.

01:04:24.000 Other countries though, like what about Iran?

01:04:26.000 Um, I don't know.

01:04:27.000 I mean, it might be easier for countries that have a particularly hostile relationship with the United States.

01:04:31.000 Like I probably, I think German passports can get into Iran when United States passports can't.

01:04:36.000 What was the story with your grandma bailing? 0.99

01:04:38.000 She was full Jewish in 1938, Nazi Germany. 0.90

01:04:41.000 How'd she get out?

01:04:42.000 Their family had, you know, had plenty of, uh, I don't know exactly.

01:04:46.000 I actually don't know the story of exactly how she got out, but I assume it's one of those, like she managed to cross the border or she flew.

01:04:52.000 38, I think at 38.

01:04:53.000 Might be 36, but I think 38.

01:04:55.000 I'll check with my mom.

01:04:57.000 But yeah, I mean, it's a simple, you know, that's actually, you know, not an uncommon story where, you know, her family at the time had, you know, businesses and, you know, a reasonable amount of money and they just abandoned it all.

01:05:09.000 Showed up penniless in the United States.

01:05:11.000 This is just before the war.

01:05:14.000 Yeah.

01:05:14.000 Was she there for Kristallnacht?

01:05:16.000 I would think so.

01:05:17.000 That was in 38.

01:05:18.000 Yeah, I would think so.

01:05:18.000 I think that that's... And maybe that was like a, hey, maybe we should get out of here kind of moment.

01:05:23.000 Right.

01:05:23.000 Yeah, she would have been, I mean, she would have been only about 20, right?

01:05:26.000 Or 20, like she was, she was pretty young.

01:05:28.000 I think she was born in like 19, 1919 maybe.

01:05:31.000 So she would have been very young, but she, yeah, or maybe even younger.

01:05:36.000 It was, Kristallnacht was November, was 9th and 10th of November, 1938.

01:05:41.000 Okay, so maybe before that then.

01:05:42.000 I don't know, but like, I know that she got out pretty late and it was, you know, that's still, you know, and I still, like, it's funny.

01:05:50.000 Essentially, I think most of that generation of my family has passed at this point.

01:05:53.000 This is the crazy thing, right?

01:05:55.000 Your grandmother got out before these violent attacks and stuff like that.

01:06:00.000 I think so.

01:06:01.000 And I wonder, you know, I don't want to compare what's happening in the United States directly to a lot of these other countries and other historical moments because history doesn't repeat it rhymes.

01:06:10.000 But I wonder if, you know, looking at the Summer of Love with around 30 deaths, billions of dollars in damage and mass rioting from far-left ideological extremists, I don't think is as bad as what this was.

01:06:22.000 This was seriously crazy.

01:06:23.000 But I'm wondering if we're getting to that point where people are going to start being like, hey, maybe we should move from here.

01:06:29.000 And I'll put it this way.

01:06:30.000 I left New York to South Jersey, left South Jersey to West Virginia because seeing the increasing violence for people who are in Germany. 0.95

01:06:37.000 Germany is a lot smaller than the United States.

01:06:39.000 In the United States, if you're watching crises happen in your cities, you can go to the country to get away from it.

01:06:43.000 But I'm kind of wondering, you know, with the trajectory we're on right now, this is the crazy thing, right?

01:06:48.000 Report from Real Clear Investigations.

01:06:49.000 The FBI team that led the raid on Trump's house was the same team that led the Russia collusion investigation, the hoax.

01:06:56.000 So this sounds like, this sounds outright like a rogue conspiracy or something like that.

01:07:02.000 And now, you know, with this viral clip from this show, Dan Bongino was posting it.

01:07:06.000 We had Derek Harvey on who mentioned that, you know, Trump declassified Crossfire Hurricane.

01:07:12.000 He probably brought copies of the documents with him.

01:07:14.000 They went to get it back because they don't want it exposed or something like that.

01:07:17.000 And it was the team that did it that went to his house to take it.

01:07:20.000 This all makes sense.

01:07:22.000 They come to his house and say, you better lock this up, lock it better.

01:07:24.000 He does.

01:07:25.000 Then the FBI comes back and breaks the lock.

01:07:27.000 Different group of FBI agents.

01:07:29.000 It sounds like we're at the point where there's different factions in the FBI that are fighting each other.

01:07:35.000 A poll just came out.

01:07:37.000 That majority of the people in this country feel that an element of the FBI is acting as Joe Biden's personal Gestapo.

01:07:44.000 You said there was a poll.

01:07:45.000 What's the poll?

01:07:48.000 We have it.

01:07:50.000 Examiner says majority see FBI as Biden's personal Gestapo after Trump raid.

01:07:55.000 This is the examiner.

01:07:56.000 This is not I saw them as Gestapo when they raided Veritas.

01:07:59.000 Rasmussen survey, 53% of likely voters agree there's a group of politicized thugs, the

01:08:05.000 top of the FBI, that are using the FBI's Joe Biden's personal Gestapo.

01:08:08.000 I saw the civil war.

01:08:11.000 I saw them as Gestapo when they raided Veritas.

01:08:13.000 Right.

01:08:14.000 Like that's insane.

01:08:16.000 This is this is the the breakdown.

01:08:18.000 This is the culture war reaching the highest levels of government that I was told would

01:08:21.000 never happen.

01:08:23.000 So when you hear, like I mentioned, when you hear that the FBI told Trump's people to secure these documents with a padlock, and they do, and then a few months later come in and smash the padlock, it makes no sense.

01:08:34.000 Unless you point out, unless the reality is, it was a different group of FBI agents who did it.

01:08:39.000 And I had someone reach out to me claiming to be a retired agent who said, you're exactly right.

01:08:43.000 There may be, there is leadership, there is leadership at the top, but different, you know, managers or, you know, supervisors in different field offices, in different interests, I'm sure, exactly, are going to be doing things against each other's interests.

01:08:55.000 Yeah, I think, well, I was actually looking into this because, you know, a lot of people started talking about defunding the FBI, and I was like, I was actually thinking about what could a president do with just an executive order?

01:09:06.000 Abolish it?

01:09:07.000 they could do a lot uh the fbi doesn't have like an explicit much in the way of explicit delegated authority from congress it actually is delegated to the attorney general who then has like the right to appoint officials but the fbi is sort of like implicitly It's not actually mandated by Congress in the same way that other law enforcement agencies are.

01:09:28.000 And so, theoretically, a president and an attorney general could essentially just make an executive order that's like, the FBI only does the things that is very specifically mandated to do by Congress, like track serial killers, and everything else we're just gonna shut it off to.

01:09:42.000 Is that mandated by Congress?

01:09:44.000 There's certain specific statutes that mandate things that the FBI should handle, but they're narrow.

01:09:50.000 But does Congress prescribe through statutory law the maintenance of the FBI?

01:09:56.000 No.

01:09:57.000 I read... Or it might fund it, but that's different from saying... So basically you could basically strip the FBI of authority even if you didn't strip it of funding via an executive order.

01:10:08.000 There's a meme that's going around that Trump could sign an executive order disbanding it outright because it's got no congressional authority into its existence that it was created by executive order or something like that.

01:10:16.000 Yeah, I think, I mean, I'm not sure.

01:10:18.000 I don't know if that's true.

01:10:19.000 But I'm pretty confident though about the ability of the president to just kind of Decide to, you know, say, okay, guess what, FBI?

01:10:27.000 Like, on day one, you're not doing counterintelligence anymore.

01:10:29.000 Right?

01:10:29.000 Like, done.

01:10:30.000 You don't have any access to it.

01:10:32.000 I'm allocating that authority to other intelligence agencies.

01:10:34.000 Oh, wow.

01:10:35.000 It was linked to prohibition.

01:10:36.000 That's where it started?

01:10:38.000 There's a lot of, I mean, I think prohibition is one of the big things.

01:10:38.000 That sounds right.

01:10:41.000 Bank robberies, when bank robberies were a big deal, that was like a big trigger for, I think that was more like when the FBI really got a lot of its expansion because one of the problems that, it was a huge problem in the Midwest where you have all these states that are pretty small and like, think about something like Kansas City where it's across the border and Kansas and Missouri.

01:10:59.000 So you'd have bank robbers constantly robbing a bank in Kansas and then crossing the border to Missouri and not getting prosecuted.

01:11:04.000 Right.

01:11:05.000 Roosevelt did kind of start in early form in the FBI after Kinley was assassinated.

01:11:10.000 It's interesting how it evolved into existence.

01:11:13.000 It wasn't outright created.

01:11:14.000 So when you look at the history of the FBI, it talks about the National Bureau of Criminal Identification, which eventually evolves into the Bureau of Investigation, which eventually evolves into the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

01:11:26.000 It's interesting.

01:11:27.000 And there was, it's interesting, it says there were fears the new agency would serve as secret police, as a secret police department.

01:11:33.000 Again, at Roosevelt's urging, Bonaparte moved to organize a formal Bureau of Investigation, which would then have its own staff of special agents.

01:11:41.000 Yeah, this was Teddy Roosevelt.

01:11:43.000 I think I'm literally just started a book about this because I was interested.

01:11:47.000 Teddy Roosevelt was, you know, annoyed with essentially, you know, environmental issues, actually, oddly enough.

01:11:53.000 Yeah, conservative.

01:11:53.000 Progressive.

01:11:54.000 Pretty progressive.

01:11:55.000 Like he didn't like, you know, some big corporate interests screwing up the environment in certain states and, you know, getting away with it.

01:12:00.000 Gave us national parks.

01:12:02.000 Yeah.

01:12:03.000 This is crazy.

01:12:04.000 It was created by the Attorney General.

01:12:05.000 He just one day brought in people and said, report to the Chief Examiner as investigators.

01:12:12.000 And then they gave a name to the group, the Bureau of Investigation.

01:12:15.000 And then in 1935, they renamed it the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

01:12:19.000 That's it.

01:12:20.000 Yeah.

01:12:20.000 In which case, the executive branch could just literally be like, you're gone.

01:12:24.000 Yeah.

01:12:24.000 Or just reroute it, like basically.

01:12:26.000 I mean, there might be other laws or other statutes that are like funding the FBI or Essentially mean, you know the civil service rules that protect the people there.

01:12:34.000 Okay, that's all fine But you could you could just strip it of authority and tell them all to go play bridge like, you know, not go kidnap a governor Yeah, right.

01:12:42.000 Yeah all that you can stop doing that my animal brain My lizard brain has a hard time with the idea of it erasing the FBI because it's been with me my whole life So I'm like wouldn't that cause chaos?

01:12:42.000 Yeah.

01:12:53.000 Well, I mean, you need to replace certain of its functions for sure, right?

01:12:57.000 Like, you don't want to, I mean, this is not, like, get rid of having a sort of federal police force.

01:13:01.000 There are things you need a federal police force for when it comes to enforcing federal law.

01:13:05.000 Yes, okay.

01:13:06.000 But, I mean, one thing I joked about was you just create a new Federal Justice Bureau.

01:13:12.000 You know, think about what the acronym is.

01:13:13.000 FJB.

01:13:16.000 Agreed!

01:13:16.000 Just for that reason we do it!

01:13:18.000 Right a new federal justice petition duplicates the functions of the FBI, but you just make all the current FBI

01:13:23.000 officials like reapply for their jobs Right, that would be you know

01:13:27.000 There's a lot of like clever things you could do given the fact that they don't

01:13:30.000 The whole the institution doesn't have that much statutory protection. How amazing would it be if Donald Trump gets reelected

01:13:36.000 and then Immediately following his inauguration and swearing in he

01:13:41.000 doesn't address where he's like my fellow Americans You may remember a few years ago in the FBI

01:13:46.000 Came into my home It was terrible, terrible.

01:13:50.000 Everyone says it was one of the most terrible things.

01:13:52.000 I am signing an executive order.

01:13:53.000 There is no more FBI.

01:13:54.000 I understand the need for it, though.

01:13:56.000 I do.

01:13:56.000 I get it.

01:13:56.000 But this has got to go.

01:13:57.000 There needs to be radical change.

01:13:58.000 Right now, the institution itself is really corrupt and dysfunctional.

01:14:01.000 He can't get reelected. He's not gonna care. He's like do something. I don't know. I understand the need for it,

01:14:05.000 though I do I get it, but this has got to go. This is

01:14:07.000 Like radical change my goodness like it and it's just a corrupt. It's right now

01:14:12.000 The institution itself is really good what president started the CIA

01:14:16.000 But whichever one did after JFK was assassinated I believe that president wrote a letter like an op-ed

01:14:23.000 saying we got to disband the CIA because he was convinced Scatter it to the wind.

01:14:28.000 He was convinced like they had something to do with it.

01:14:31.000 It was Truman who said that.

01:14:31.000 Harry Truman, 1947.

01:14:33.000 Yeah, Truman said he created it after JFK was assassinated.

01:14:36.000 Then he wrote a letter saying, we got to disband the CIA.

01:14:38.000 And then the head of the CIA went and visited Truman and said, you got to not say that.

01:14:41.000 And he was like, nah, I'm saying.

01:14:43.000 So like Truman created it.

01:14:43.000 Wait, wait, wait, hold on.

01:14:45.000 Yep.

01:14:45.000 And then after JFK died, he wrote a letter saying, Not bad or something saying like, I think they got too much power.

01:14:50.000 That's not what I intended.

01:14:50.000 Wow.

01:14:52.000 Yeah.

01:14:52.000 Crazy.

01:14:53.000 Interesting.

01:14:53.000 Yeah.

01:14:54.000 I don't know about like, I think the CIA certainly does have, you know, its fingers in some bad stuff, like a lot of bad stuff actually, but domestically it's like, it sounds like it's mostly the FBI.

01:15:03.000 Yeah, the other thing, other unique thing you could do is, you know, we are kind of unique among western countries in that we have both the same institution handles both like federal policing and counterintelligence.

01:15:15.000 And those are not norm, those are not necessarily like combined functions, right?

01:15:19.000 One is like detecting spies and like thwarting foreign intelligence efforts, and the other is like just federal police work, right?

01:15:26.000 You know, investigating crimes and helping the DOJ prosecute them.

01:15:28.000 If Donald Trump is going to get rid of the FBI, he's got to preserve the X-Files and make sure that they're the one thing.

01:15:35.000 Isn't the X-Files real though?

01:15:36.000 The X-Files show was based off of the filing they would do for things they couldn't explain.

01:15:44.000 Not like any agents actually like aliens are among us.

01:15:46.000 But they were like, hey, we don't know how this happened.

01:15:48.000 This is crazy.

01:15:48.000 Well, if people out there have watched the latest episode of Tales from the Inverted World, they would have seen the letter I wrote to President Carter about me demanding transparency of he, you know, when he was on the campaign trail, he promised to release all UFO documents because Carter saw UFO in Georgia.

01:16:03.000 And then he talked about it extensively in the campaign trail promising this.

01:16:06.000 And the second he got into office, like most politicians do, he backpedaled and didn't release anything because of national security, quote, unquote.

01:16:13.000 Oh yeah, he'll get back to you.

01:16:16.000 I think they were drone programs.

01:16:18.000 A lot of what people were told were alien or just... whether or not they have fusion packs on board, I wonder.

01:16:23.000 And that's what I tell them actually. It could be extraterrestrials, it could be our military,

01:16:26.000 it could be international. It is totally fictional, but I remember reading, just want to clarify that,

01:16:31.000 I remember reading something that it was like the idea of the show came from something that

01:16:35.000 was really within the FBI.

01:16:36.000 Yeah, Air Force.

01:16:38.000 Yeah, I just said, well I just saw an article, was there a real life version of the X-Files?

01:16:38.000 It was the Air Force?

01:16:41.000 The answer is yes, and it was part of the Air Force.

01:16:44.000 Alex Hollings, let me see if I can find the exact... Who says it's false?

01:16:49.000 Wikipedia?

01:16:50.000 No, it says it's fictional.

01:16:51.000 That's the FBI, yeah.

01:16:52.000 But that's a thing, like, it says it's a fictional case deemed unsolvable by the FBI.

01:16:56.000 I read somewhere that the show was inspired by something that, like, it's not literally the X-Files, but, like, somebody was reading about how the FBI couldn't solve something, and they're like, oh, we should do a show like that and call it something.

01:17:07.000 Well, they have certainly done experiments, like the remote viewing stuff where they'd sit the cops in a room or just bring people.

01:17:12.000 The FBI did it.

01:17:13.000 I believe it was FBI.

01:17:14.000 Well, you know about the men who stare at goats.

01:17:16.000 I haven't seen it, but yeah, I know about it.

01:17:17.000 Well, I what is based on right? Yeah, the stargate program.

01:17:21.000 Um, uh, were they drugging them up remote? Yeah What's the goat? So weird. Do they actually stare at goats?

01:17:26.000 Weren't they trying to explode them or something? Oh, I don't know about that

01:17:30.000 I think they were trying to use telekinesis to kill goats.

01:17:32.000 I'm not sure but I read I read about this But yeah, the u.s people like yo, bro, we were talking

01:17:38.000 about some crazy stuff downstairs like Cia masks

01:17:42.000 Like these super high tech mission impossible kind of masks they have. Yep

01:17:46.000 The heart attack gun.

01:17:47.000 Bro, the heart attack gun is real.

01:17:49.000 Let me pull this up.

01:17:50.000 Oh, it's hilarious.

01:17:50.000 You can go and there was a great channel on YouTube.

01:17:52.000 I think they nuked it.

01:17:53.000 It was called Film Archives.

01:17:54.000 And this person would upload great congressional hearings from the 50s, 60s, 70s.

01:17:59.000 80s up until now, actually.

01:18:00.000 And there was one with the heart attack gun there, kind of just passing around the heart attack gun.

01:18:03.000 You're like, oh, so you shoot this at someone and give them a heart attack?

01:18:06.000 Okay, all right. 0.97

01:18:07.000 The CIA's heart attack gun.

01:18:08.000 Yeah, all right.

01:18:09.000 No doubt.

01:18:10.000 No doubt.

01:18:11.000 So they had that in the 60s or 70s.

01:18:12.000 What?

01:18:13.000 Frozen shellfish toxin would enter the target's bloodstream and kill them in mere minutes.

01:18:17.000 But I kind of wonder, like, couldn't you just put, like, anything?

01:18:22.000 Oh my God, that's real.

01:18:23.000 Yeah, that's real.

01:18:24.000 Yeah, that's it.

01:18:25.000 That's it.

01:18:26.000 So the idea was back then, I guess it was hard to detect the toxin.

01:18:30.000 So if someone was shot by the dart, they would die and they'd be like, I don't know what happened.

01:18:34.000 These days, I mean, there's so much stuff.

01:18:37.000 I was reading about certain like vitamin mixtures that can cause cardiac arrest, heart attacks.

01:18:43.000 And that when they did your blood test, they would just see like potassium and sodium and stuff and be like, I don't know.

01:18:48.000 But like we've way advanced the craziness of this.

01:18:50.000 I will say though, If a powerful intelligence agency wants to kill somebody, it's really easy.

01:18:57.000 You get mugged.

01:18:59.000 That's it.

01:19:00.000 It's an easy way of covering it up.

01:19:01.000 You go walking down the street and someone steals your phone.

01:19:03.000 Right, exactly.

01:19:04.000 That's just diabolical.

01:19:05.000 Bro, Havana effect?

01:19:06.000 Havana syndrome?

01:19:07.000 Oh, the sound?

01:19:08.000 That they were doing?

01:19:10.000 I wonder if they're microwave blasting people.

01:19:12.000 Yeah, well, I mean, it's not sound, but it was affecting them.

01:19:15.000 It was sonar or something that they're blasting into them.

01:19:17.000 Well, we don't know if it's sonar.

01:19:18.000 What we know is that people were reporting hearing like a buzzing noise or a humming noise, and then they would get photosensitivity.

01:19:25.000 They'd become like amnesiac, like their memories would become, you know, screwed up, and they'd That's nightmarish, dude.

01:19:32.000 If you start hearing a weird buzz, don't just be like, that's nothing, you should just leave the room, I guess?

01:19:37.000 Or what?

01:19:37.000 I don't know.

01:19:38.000 There's no escape.

01:19:40.000 I used to think about this.

01:19:42.000 I think I've talked about this on the show.

01:19:43.000 I'd have this fantasy, what if all of a sudden everyone on earth wanted to kill me?

01:19:46.000 How long could I survive?

01:19:48.000 In this room?

01:19:49.000 Probably about seven seconds, because there's four of you guys.

01:19:52.000 If I'm driving, I would take this weapon.

01:19:54.000 And that's an already like the sword there. There's the katana.

01:19:57.000 Yeah musket 0.99

01:20:01.000 Feels like an episode of fortnight Yeah, this is an episode like an escape room, but we're trying to kill you.

01:20:08.000 What is the best weapon to pick up inside the pod?

01:20:12.000 The deep state.

01:20:13.000 Probably the gun.

01:20:14.000 I'd take a guitar.

01:20:17.000 I think their purpose is to maintain stability.

01:20:20.000 The meteorite is pretty good.

01:20:21.000 And if they think that you're a threat to stability, then they'll start to take an eye on you.

01:20:25.000 But if they think that you're helping them provide stability to the what?

01:20:29.000 The people of Earth?

01:20:30.000 Is that the plan?

01:20:30.000 Dude, they will get you no matter what, even if you're innocent bystander.

01:20:33.000 I just think of when Hillary Clinton apologized to everyone for back in the day when we dose people in Guatemala with syphilis, you know, just random people.

01:20:41.000 We'll just get you just because we want to know what happens when syphilis goes through the human body without being treated.

01:20:47.000 Same thing we did to Tuskegee.

01:20:48.000 What's this Guatemala syphilis thing?

01:20:51.000 It's like an extension of the Tuskegee syphilis experiment. 0.86

01:20:53.000 I pulled up the sonic weapon wikipedia and they mentioned Havana syndrome.

01:20:56.000 Uh, it caused hearing loss and other problems.

01:20:58.000 They thought it was sonic attacks, but now, more recent reports hypothesize microwave energy as the cause.

01:21:03.000 Well, there's also, like, a whole bunch of stuff about this being fake, right?

01:21:06.000 Havana syndrome, like, was... Like it was a mental thing.

01:21:08.000 Yeah, it was like a psychosomatic.

01:21:09.000 No, but, but... I think there's something there.

01:21:10.000 The latest stuff that I read is there's way too many reports of it.

01:21:14.000 That it's, it's, like, with the same symptoms.

01:21:16.000 Right.

01:21:17.000 That it, and, and it's, like, isolated to location, so it's...

01:21:20.000 There's something there.

01:21:20.000 I think I equate it to the sound because a few years ago, they were using those to get rid of riots.

01:21:26.000 They'd blast that wave at people.

01:21:29.000 Yeah, yeah, LRADs. 0.99

01:21:30.000 Long range.

01:21:31.000 Bro, the first time I ever encountered an LRAD, it was so freaky.

01:21:35.000 So I've been at tons of these protests and riots where they've used these.

01:21:39.000 What's an LRAD?

01:21:40.000 Long Range Acoustic Device.

01:21:41.000 Okay.

01:21:42.000 So I think I'm in Anaheim.

01:21:46.000 Three blocks down the road, I can see a line of police.

01:21:49.000 All of a sudden, I hear, as if someone was standing right next to me, you must disperse.

01:21:54.000 This is an illegal protest or an illegal demonstration.

01:21:58.000 And then I was like, I turn, I'm like, what the?

01:22:01.000 And people are like, look, and you could see the LRAD on top of the vehicle.

01:22:04.000 They also do this high pitch thing at you.

01:22:07.000 And it like, it hurts, but it's not, if they wanted to, they could make your ears bleed.

01:22:11.000 Crazy stuff.

01:22:12.000 But I'll tell you some of the craziest stuff I've ever read, I don't know how true this is, that ultra low frequencies are one of the reasons they think people report haunted houses.

01:22:21.000 So that when you get hit by ultra low frequencies you can't interpret it as sound, but it hits your body in waves which causes like a sensation of someone being around you, it causes like feelings of dread, heart rate increasing, so people Maybe when they think they're seeing a ghost, it could be hit by ultra low frequencies of energy rushing through them.

01:22:43.000 Crazy stuff like that.

01:22:44.000 Oh, yeah.

01:22:44.000 Interesting.

01:22:45.000 I'm beginning to think that ghosts, as much as I love the idea, is a me thing and not a ghost thing.

01:22:50.000 It's my interpretation.

01:22:52.000 It's probably both.

01:22:53.000 I think that the human spirit is real and like we have these magnetic fields, but also that we're bomb, the humans are experimenting by bombarding ourselves with radiation and mag, you know, low frequencies like harp, H-A-R-P.

01:23:04.000 I don't know if you guys studied much of high altitude.

01:23:07.000 I talked to some people at harp for a volume one of inverted world.

01:23:09.000 And they're, like, firing them up into space.

01:23:10.000 I thought they were killing the birds.

01:23:12.000 Might be happening on accident.

01:23:14.000 It's weird to think that ghosts are real and that we're interacting with ghosts.

01:23:14.000 I think they are.

01:23:18.000 Yeah, I think I want to clarify.

01:23:20.000 I do think there are ghosts also, because I grew up with one.

01:23:22.000 Very nonchalant.

01:23:23.000 It was a good ghost.

01:23:23.000 Blue-collar ghost.

01:23:24.000 But also, I think a lot of people see...

01:23:26.000 What's wrong with white-collar ghosts?

01:23:28.000 Why do you have to be so resentful of the wealthier middle-management ghosts?

01:23:37.000 When you have a blue-collar ghost, what happens is you wake up in the middle of the night with your plumbing fixed.

01:23:42.000 Yeah.

01:23:42.000 When you get a white-collar ghost, they're just sitting there complaining about taxes and what's going on.

01:23:45.000 They could do your taxes for you.

01:23:47.000 Why are you so discriminatory, guys?

01:23:49.000 No, I just didn't know them.

01:23:50.000 They could provide you legal services.

01:23:52.000 I was in the middle of the woods.

01:23:53.000 There wasn't a lot of white-collar ghosts.

01:23:55.000 It would be a hilarious bit.

01:23:55.000 A guy wakes up and he sees a ghost and he's like, who are you doing?

01:23:58.000 And it's like, Your taxes!

01:23:59.000 Yeah, that's funny.

01:24:03.000 Ebenezer was probably visited by blue collar, not so many.

01:24:06.000 Oh, and he had a white collar ghost.

01:24:09.000 Bro, I know what ghosts are.

01:24:10.000 Yeah.

01:24:11.000 You want to know what ghosts are?

01:24:12.000 Of course, let's do this.

01:24:13.000 So do you know about M-theory?

01:24:16.000 Membrane theory?

01:24:17.000 I know a little bit about that.

01:24:18.000 That the universe is a multidimensional folding fabric that moves through and it's all crazy like.

01:24:22.000 Okay, I only half know what I'm talking about, so I probably mish-mashed crazy physics ideas to create some weird theory about ghosts.

01:24:28.000 That's science.

01:24:29.000 Yeah.

01:24:29.000 Think about this way.

01:24:30.000 If time is not linear, but if you expand out of, like, our perception of time being linear, but if you then zoom out above it, and it's more of, like, this, you know, moving fabric... What if time is a cube?

01:24:43.000 Perhaps.

01:24:43.000 Sorry.

01:24:44.000 But imagine it this way.

01:24:46.000 Let's shelf that.

01:24:46.000 Because I was reading, like, membrane theory.

01:24:48.000 So you've got 1827.

01:24:51.000 All right.

01:24:52.000 And there is some dude wearing 1827 clothes.

01:24:56.000 And then somebody in 2016 walks into a building that was a historic building that was built in 1827.

01:25:06.000 So the framing is all relatively similar.

01:25:08.000 The floors are in the same places where the floors were.

01:25:10.000 All that stuff.

01:25:12.000 This person, in 2016, walks into a room, and then all of a sudden sees a semi-transparent figure standing before him, wearing clothes from the 1820s, and for a brief moment, looks at them and goes, and they go, they run away screaming, I just saw a ghost!

01:25:27.000 You know, it really happened.

01:25:29.000 The fabric of time between that 100 almost 200 year gap brushed against each other and very briefly that man in the 1820s clothes who saw the figure from the future screamed seeing a ghost.

01:25:45.000 They both thought each other were ghosts.

01:25:47.000 Then that guy writes down, this house is demonic, it is haunted.

01:25:51.000 That story gets passed down and people are like, whoa, a haunted house.

01:25:54.000 Then the person in the future goes there and when the time intersects briefly, just for

01:25:57.000 a flicker of a moment, they both see each other and create the paradox.

01:26:02.000 Two separate existences in two separate times folding into one another.

01:26:05.000 Very briefly though.

01:26:06.000 Briefly.

01:26:07.000 Right.

01:26:07.000 And so this is why old buildings tend to be haunted.

01:26:11.000 And so like if the building was knocked down and a different building was built, the floors would be in different places.

01:26:18.000 So the guy who's standing on the second floor would not appear to the same guy on the second floor because they've moved.

01:26:24.000 Right.

01:26:25.000 But if the building is the same building from the 1800s, but remodeled and just reinforced over time, you would quite literally be standing in front of the person in the same physical space as time brushed past itself.

01:26:36.000 And this is like the ghost I grew up with, because I grew up in a house that was built in the 1700s.

01:26:38.000 And I think a lot of people died around that time as well in that house.

01:26:43.000 But the ghost that I investigated for Inverted World last year, he was, I shared his room, you know, I think, and I think we just crossed paths because we were in the same room, the same kitchen.

01:26:55.000 He, I think, was just like he felt comfort living there with us because he lost his family and now here he was with us.

01:27:01.000 Time cube!

01:27:01.000 What is this?

01:27:04.000 I don't know.

01:27:05.000 Who brought this up?

01:27:05.000 This is like, I didn't completely make this up because I remember when I did college debate, people would argue, this is like a response to anything on the affirmative and they had no idea whether they, instead, you know, the affirmative would get up and argue for some policy change and they'd be like, and the negative would get up and be like, time is a cube.

01:27:23.000 We concede.

01:27:23.000 This is a guy who said that all modern sciences are participating in a worldwide conspiracy to teach lies by omitting his theory's alleged truth that each day actually consists of four days occurring simultaneously.

01:27:38.000 Better.

01:27:39.000 I like it.

01:27:39.000 What does that even mean?

01:27:41.000 I don't think anyone knows.

01:27:43.000 Time is a cube.

01:27:44.000 When people will give you their theories, you've got to keep in mind that just because one theory is right doesn't mean another theory isn't also right.

01:27:50.000 Because I think a lot of these different scientific theories, they're arguing about which one's the right one.

01:27:55.000 A lot of them are just explaining the system from different perspectives.

01:27:58.000 So a lot of them are correct.

01:28:00.000 String theory is probably real.

01:28:02.000 Nassim Harriman's Schwarzschild proton papers are partly real as well.

01:28:07.000 Yeah.

01:28:07.000 But they're different levels, different distances from the truth, so they look different coming into it.

01:28:13.000 I think science is all wrong, and it always has been.

01:28:16.000 Oh.

01:28:16.000 And what I mean by that is we think we know so much and we constantly prove ourselves wrong.

01:28:22.000 So there's probably, there's obviously a ton of stuff we clearly know, like we've been able to make glass bottles, mass produce DVDs, build computers.

01:28:30.000 We clearly understand very, you know, powerful scientific, powerful science.

01:28:34.000 But when it comes to the abstract and theoretical stuff, we probably are getting almost all of it wrong.

01:28:40.000 Well, I mean, I don't know.

01:28:41.000 I would say science is the whole art of knowing.

01:28:44.000 Essentially, all science does is disprove things.

01:28:46.000 Yeah, the scientific method.

01:28:47.000 Right.

01:28:48.000 This is basic, like, Karl Popper and, like, what is a scientific statement and all that.

01:28:53.000 I mean, the idea is that science doesn't actually say anything is true.

01:28:56.000 Well, so you guys want to know the secret to reality is that we shape it through our observation.

01:29:00.000 I learned that from watching a documentary called The Secret.

01:29:03.000 All rich people know this.

01:29:05.000 And the way it really works is you decide what's true and then find evidence to back it up and then assert it as truth.

01:29:10.000 And that's how you successfully become a leftist.

01:29:14.000 You can see the future.

01:29:15.000 That's how you collapse a city.

01:29:16.000 If a baseball is flying towards you, the light reflecting off the baseball hits your eye before the baseball gets there.

01:29:23.000 So you see it before it is there.

01:29:26.000 You start to anticipate.

01:29:27.000 Your brain doesn't process the information fast enough.

01:29:32.000 Well, we, we, we perceive it as anticipation.

01:29:35.000 So you know where it's going to be, but you're actually seeing it before it gets there.

01:29:38.000 And it's like 0.08 seconds.

01:29:40.000 You know, you can see into the future 0.08 seconds.

01:29:42.000 So I think when people have like, we ever go to talk to someone and you have like, you get afraid right before you say it, then they react to the fear.

01:29:50.000 Or if you're like brave, right before you say it, they react to the bravery.

01:29:53.000 That's how Ozymandias caught the bullet when Silk Spectre 2 fired at him in his Antarctic laboratory.

01:29:59.000 He saw the light faster.

01:30:01.000 Hit it and caught it in his hand.

01:30:02.000 And that's how he survived.

01:30:04.000 I think you're right about ghosts being trapped to locations because there's this phantom DNA experiment where they'll put DNA inside of a vacuum, bombard it with photons, and the photons start to spin around the DNA as if it's there with it.

01:30:14.000 Then they remove the DNA from the vacuum.

01:30:17.000 The photons stay there as if the DNA was still there for like two weeks.

01:30:21.000 The photons will stay there and rotate.

01:30:23.000 And I wonder if that's just like an example of how long a ghost or a piece of energy could be bound to a spot and like I think time is a cube.

01:30:32.000 Bones in a graveyard?

01:30:33.000 I don't think that bones in a graveyard are like an anchor for energy like that, like

01:30:37.000 ghost energy.

01:30:38.000 I think, you know, the reality is that there's a conspiracy to use fluoride to calcify our

01:30:46.000 third eye.

01:30:47.000 That's true.

01:30:48.000 Because humans do have the ability to shape reality, but the global elites don't want

01:30:54.000 the peasants to be able to.

01:30:57.000 Don't get me started on our third world water system.

01:30:59.000 It really is Friday night, isn't it?

01:31:05.000 This is a real conspiracy theory.

01:31:08.000 So the double slit experiment we've talked about before, and then there was another one someone brought up that was even crazier, but you guys are familiar with the double slit experiment, right?

01:31:14.000 No.

01:31:15.000 I'll try to simplify it.

01:31:18.000 They take a metal sheet, they put a slit in it, they fired electrons, and they got a particle pattern.

01:31:24.000 Then they did two slits, and they fired electrons, and they got a wave pattern.

01:31:28.000 And so they're like, okay, that's weird.

01:31:30.000 Why are we getting a wave pattern?

01:31:31.000 It should be a particle pattern.

01:31:32.000 Let's measure which slit each electron is going through.

01:31:36.000 When they did, they got a particle pattern again.

01:31:38.000 So what the hippies said was, whoa, like by looking at it, like all of a sudden it changed.

01:31:44.000 And what physicists said was our measurement procedure interfered with the process.

01:31:48.000 And we don't know why, which is the smarter reasoning.

01:31:51.000 But so, so these people believe that human observation has the ability to shape reality.

01:31:57.000 So you'll, you'll, you'll hear new age.

01:31:58.000 People talk about manifesting things like my friend Robbie, who was like, so they're trans.

01:32:04.000 Human observation has the power to shape reality.

01:32:07.000 They mean it more literally than that.

01:32:09.000 So I'm trying to park my car in L.A.

01:32:10.000 at my friend Robby's house.

01:32:11.000 Shout out, Robby.

01:32:12.000 Yeah, Robby, what's going on, dude?

01:32:13.000 Robby's a cool dude.

01:32:13.000 And he was like, where are you at?

01:32:16.000 I'm trying to find a parking space.

01:32:17.000 He goes, oh, bro, manifest it.

01:32:19.000 And I was like, what?

01:32:20.000 And he's like, bro, manifest a parking spot.

01:32:21.000 I was like, dude, I can't manifest a parking spot.

01:32:25.000 He's like, not that attitude.

01:32:28.000 So people believe that if you will it, it will happen.

01:32:31.000 And that the reason why we've lost that ability is because the global elite started putting fluoride in the water so that it would calcify our pineal glands, which are our third eye that grant us the ability.

01:32:43.000 It's a beautifully absurd idea.

01:32:45.000 I experimented on my own intuition.

01:32:46.000 But it's fun, right?

01:32:47.000 From like 2006 and 2007, I made YouTube videos about manifestation.

01:32:50.000 I was one of these hippie freaks Tim's talking about.

01:32:52.000 I'm going to manifest a glass of water and I'd be sitting there thinking like, water is in front of me.

01:33:01.000 I'll fix that later.

01:33:02.000 Water is in front of me.

01:33:03.000 There's water.

01:33:04.000 And I just like visualize and relax and like empty my mind.

01:33:07.000 Well, what happened is someone would come in and they'd be like, Hey, you want a glass of water?

01:33:10.000 And I'd be go.

01:33:12.000 Yeah.

01:33:12.000 And I realized I'm not making things apparate out of nowhere.

01:33:16.000 I'm affecting the human consciousness with my thoughts.

01:33:20.000 Or sometimes people are nice.

01:33:22.000 You know, I do have to be honest though.

01:33:27.000 I've slowly stopped believing in some coincidences just because the reality that we're in has become so absurd.

01:33:34.000 It doesn't feel like probability makes sense.

01:33:36.000 It's post-reality.

01:33:37.000 No, just like everything that's happened with Trump and the way he behaves and the things that are happening, it's like, how is this probabilistic?

01:33:46.000 It should be so exceedingly rare, but so many strange things are happening at once that it seems like we've won the lottery 10 times in a few years.

01:33:53.000 Like Brian Stelter and Liz Cheney going out in the same week is like, come on, that's like winning the lottery twice in two days.

01:34:01.000 But it really is, you know?

01:34:03.000 And then people are saying it comes in threes.

01:34:05.000 Now, why is that it comes in threes?

01:34:07.000 We used to say that about deaths at the hospital.

01:34:09.000 And people are saying that Sam Harris was the third.

01:34:12.000 Sam Harris cancelled himself with this insane statement, and it's like, that's actually a good point.

01:34:17.000 Liz Cheney loses, Brian Seltzer gets fired, and Sam Harris implodes on a show to insane virality.

01:34:22.000 And then I'm thinking of all the technology we have right now.

01:34:24.000 This is like winning the lottery, having access to electricity and TV and video.

01:34:28.000 Oh yeah.

01:34:29.000 So like, that's not a coincidence.

01:34:30.000 This is not a coincidence that these things are happening.

01:34:32.000 This is intentional.

01:34:33.000 We're creating... I just wonder if sometimes the world is... The world, I think, is always absurd.

01:34:37.000 Humans are always absurd and beautiful.

01:34:39.000 And maybe now we're seeing all the coincidences because of all the information that we have access to.

01:34:43.000 You know, maybe the weird things were always happening at the same time.

01:34:46.000 I mean, there is obviously, like, serious observation bias and, like, things coming.

01:34:51.000 I mean, yeah.

01:34:52.000 But that said, yeah, you're right.

01:34:53.000 We live in an awesome world.

01:34:55.000 We're so lucky to have what we have.

01:34:57.000 And it's also creating things that we wouldn't have ever anticipated.

01:35:00.000 I'll let you guys in on a secret, though.

01:35:02.000 That documentary, The Secret, have you ever seen it?

01:35:05.000 No.

01:35:05.000 I've heard about it.

01:35:06.000 You gotta watch it.

01:35:07.000 It's from like the early 2000s or something like that.

01:35:10.000 2007-ish.

01:35:11.000 2007, late 2007.

01:35:12.000 And the secret is that all powerful people throughout history believed in the concept of manifestation.

01:35:17.000 Is that what it is?

01:35:18.000 More or less, yeah.

01:35:19.000 It's like like attracts like kind of idea.

01:35:21.000 So I will tell you this of the like the very successful and well-off people I know the majority of them really do believe they have magic powers and you think I'm exaggerating like bro I've sat down with famous actors and actresses and celebrities and they casually talk about their magic and then you look at these people And their wealth and success and I'm like my view is perhaps because you've had an easy life of wealth and success you assume you must have magic and it's actually malignant narcissism.

01:35:50.000 But these people actually believe no the reality is that they believe in their magic and that's granted them easy access and easy life.

01:35:57.000 And you know, what I can accept about some of that is like, yeah, it really doesn't make sense how you got to this position.

01:36:02.000 It's not like you worked really hard and earned it.

01:36:04.000 It's like you went to the right place at the right time and then got chosen and all of a sudden you're successful and rich.

01:36:09.000 It's like, well, the reality is you were a driven person who sought out opportunity and you had the talent and drive and passing that off as magic is just, you're kind of insulting yourself.

01:36:20.000 Well, I mean, it's also a fake humility.

01:36:23.000 Right?

01:36:23.000 Like you're saying, you didn't actually, you know, Oh, I just, you know, I just, I just got lucky.

01:36:28.000 I just happen to have these powers.

01:36:30.000 But they're not saying they're lucky, they're saying they will it into existence.

01:36:32.000 Like, that they choose what happens and it happens for them.

01:36:36.000 They choose to make money and then they get money and things like that.

01:36:38.000 It's like they have force powers.

01:36:39.000 I wonder if they think we all have access to that power.

01:36:43.000 If they're just using it better.

01:36:44.000 A lot of them just say stuff like that.

01:36:46.000 Like the calcification of the Penelian, like the loss of access to the DMT sometimes people will say gives you less access to your magic.

01:36:53.000 I think it's simple.

01:36:54.000 I think that idea of like a vision board.

01:36:56.000 They say like put your goals on a board in your room and then every day you look at it.

01:37:00.000 And I'm like, you know, the saying out of sight out of mind.

01:37:03.000 Well, there's an inverse of that.

01:37:04.000 If you're focused on it every day, it's not magic.

01:37:07.000 It's just you're directing yourself.

01:37:09.000 And yeah, you're staying focused.

01:37:10.000 Well, here's a weird... I'll try to tell a story quickly, but it was Christmas Eve many years ago.

01:37:10.000 It's that simple.

01:37:15.000 I was going down to Times Square to see my wife, and I was on the train reading a book.

01:37:20.000 An old lady sat next to me. 0.99

01:37:22.000 She wanted to see what book I was reading.

01:37:23.000 She was interested in it.

01:37:24.000 It was a Saul Bellow book.

01:37:26.000 And I had no idea who she was.

01:37:28.000 I had just graduated from my writing program.

01:37:30.000 I had no life.

01:37:33.000 I had no money, nothing.

01:37:34.000 She's talking to me.

01:37:35.000 It was great.

01:37:35.000 We leave.

01:37:37.000 She says goodbye and she whispers in my ear, I'm Kurt Vonnegut's widow.

01:37:41.000 And I love Kurt Vonnegut.

01:37:43.000 And the only thing on my wall at the time was a quote from Kurt Vonnegut.

01:37:47.000 I had that taped on my wall for a year.

01:37:49.000 And I had just graduated the writing program with that looking at that every day

01:37:54.000 And I just so happened to be on the train something I never did really all that much because I was upstate to see my

01:37:59.000 Family I was like what are the odds that I just graduated this program thinking of Vonnegut this whole time and then

01:38:04.000 his ex-wife Is sitting next to me? 1.00

01:38:07.000 I've had so much stuff in my life that's just been like that.

01:38:07.000 It's bizarre.

01:38:11.000 It's bizarre.

01:38:12.000 That it makes you, I think for a lot of people, if you haven't experienced that,

01:38:16.000 then you're less likely to be faithful or religious in some capacity.

01:38:19.000 Yeah.

01:38:20.000 But for people, this is the funny thing, like I talk to people who are like really not religious 0.98

01:38:24.000 and they never have stories like that, I ask them about it.

01:38:26.000 And then you meet someone who's religious and they'll tell you about serendipity or like

01:38:29.000 these magical moments in their lives that they feel is like outside of probability.

01:38:34.000 And so it makes them believe that we were experiencing something greater, something more constructive.

01:38:38.000 Yeah.

01:38:38.000 Whatever it was, maybe it was magic, maybe it was just coincidence, but I cried.

01:38:42.000 And when she left, I was like, holy crap. 0.78

01:38:44.000 And I used that as like a symbol for me to be like, I'm on some kind of right path.

01:38:47.000 I think people are like, I guess you call them pattern recognition machines.

01:38:53.000 When you're thinking something, your brain activity is creating a neural pattern, whether the eyes might not perceive it, but her brain is perceiving it.

01:39:02.000 Whether or not you can see it, I don't think.

01:39:04.000 And then I got to go to her house.

01:39:05.000 I saw where Vonnegut wrote.

01:39:06.000 Like I became friends with her, you know, I'm still talking to her and like, I got to see his desk.

01:39:09.000 I got to see all this stuff.

01:39:10.000 So it was like, it blew my mind.

01:39:12.000 We gotta go to Super Chats.

01:39:13.000 We're a little behind.

01:39:39.000 I love it.

01:39:40.000 I love it.

01:39:41.000 You're like, it really is Friday night, isn't it?

01:39:42.000 Time is a cube.

01:39:47.000 Here we go.

01:39:47.000 Tiberius says, God, we are living in the future.

01:39:50.000 Ian, have you seen the nuclear diamond batteries or the handheld coil gun?

01:39:54.000 God, are we in the future?

01:39:56.000 It's amazing.

01:39:57.000 I haven't seen a handheld coil gun, but hell yes, I've seen the nuclear batteries.

01:40:00.000 The nuclear diamond batteries?

01:40:01.000 What is that?

01:40:02.000 Uh, I think that there's a bit of leftover nuclear waste that they put inside of diamond and then it produces, um, oh gosh, how does it produce charge?

01:40:10.000 Is it a neutron pulse that it's sending out?

01:40:12.000 Wow.

01:40:12.000 Sending out some sort of pulse through the diamond that's, and then the diamond is vibrating and then capturing the energy, I believe, creates a really low power electrical charge for like 10,000 years.

01:40:22.000 Never, and it's nuclear waste that you use to make the batteries.

01:40:25.000 Oh, I've heard of that.

01:40:26.000 I've heard, I think we talked about it before.

01:40:27.000 Yeah, we could, it's a couple of years ago.

01:40:29.000 It was a breakthrough.

01:40:30.000 All right, Augusto Mimoche says, Shane, a good friend of mine and I want to do an on-site investigation into the mythical Dulce, New Mexico alien base.

01:40:39.000 You in?

01:40:40.000 That sounds like fun.

01:40:41.000 Yeah, what is that?

01:40:41.000 I don't know anything about it, but I'm in.

01:40:44.000 It's really cool how people have submitted weird ghost stories to Shane, and now you're lining up these investigations.

01:40:54.000 I love the ghost hunter stuff, but I don't like how fake it is.

01:40:57.000 I want real ghost hunting.

01:40:58.000 Yeah.

01:40:58.000 That's what I say.

01:40:59.000 Like when I was in this, in this town for, uh, volume two of inverted world, it's kind of known for ghosts.

01:41:04.000 So they know a lot of the ghost hunter types and they show up with like the whatever the machines.

01:41:08.000 And that's not what I do at all.

01:41:10.000 I like the stories and hearing the experiences, but I'm not going to try to prove something. 0.90

01:41:14.000 Cause I think it's ridiculous.

01:41:15.000 You'd need to get there are machines that can find really low like sensitivity, but you need to somehow dampen the outer layer around you like with a Faraday mechanism to not have interference.

01:41:25.000 I need a Faraday mechanism.

01:41:26.000 Yeah, I'm gonna hit up Elon.

01:41:27.000 All right.

01:41:28.000 I think the alien scientists can build. Yeah, I'm gonna hit up Elon. All right.

01:41:32.000 All right. Omega Rossett says Tim is wrong.

01:41:39.000 It's all about looks for both men and women.

01:41:41.000 Dude gets friend zoned because he is not attractive to women.

01:41:44.000 80% goes for top 20% of men.

01:41:46.000 No, that's totally not true.

01:41:48.000 Well, that's true of dating apps.

01:41:50.000 Sure.

01:41:51.000 When it's superficial.

01:41:52.000 But this story I'm telling you about this guy, bro, I know Short little weaselly dudes who got all the ladies because they're powerful men.

01:42:01.000 Because they figured out how to succeed, how to dominate conversations.

01:42:06.000 Confidence.

01:42:07.000 Yeah, all of that stuff.

01:42:08.000 Biologically. 0.96

01:42:09.000 A very traditionally aesthetically attractive man will become extraordinarily unattractive to a woman if he behaves like a coward. 0.56

01:42:16.000 I think this was the science of sex, this thing they did on HBO a long time ago.

01:42:21.000 They had women rate a bunch of men on a scale of 1 to 10.

01:42:26.000 And then they took the pictures and they showed them to women on the street and said, how would you rate this man?

01:42:31.000 And sure enough, the average score the man got was around the same score the woman on the street would give him.

01:42:36.000 So this guy in like a flannel shirt with like chiseled in a beard and he looks tall.

01:42:41.000 They're like, oh, he's a nine.

01:42:42.000 He's a nine.

01:42:43.000 They then took these things and added biographical information.

01:42:47.000 And that same guy who was a 9, they wrote that he was a theater manager who made $35,000 a year, and the women rated him a 7.

01:42:54.000 They took the guy who was rated a 4, and they said he was a computer software engineer who made $600,000 a year, and they rated him a 7.

01:43:01.000 So, like, that stuff matters to women for obvious reasons. 1.00

01:43:05.000 Yeah, they want genetic superiority for their children, and if they think that you can get them money and safety with your personality, you're gonna be much more attractive.

01:43:13.000 It's success.

01:43:13.000 It's like, this is safe and important.

01:43:15.000 The success of the man's status is more important.

01:43:18.000 For guys, it's like, can she reproduce? 1.00

01:43:22.000 Yeah.

01:43:23.000 No, I mean, it's like the idea that it's just looks for men is, I mean, completely, completely false.

01:43:28.000 It's not true at all.

01:43:29.000 It's bimodal.

01:43:30.000 For guys, it's not all looks, but it's mostly looks.

01:43:32.000 And for women, it's not mostly looks, but looks do matter. 1.00

01:43:36.000 Yeah, looks matter.

01:43:37.000 I mean, looks matter.

01:43:38.000 Looks can get you in the door.

01:43:39.000 Looks definitely matter, but it's also like, can we have a family?

01:43:41.000 Like healthy.

01:43:42.000 Can we raise kids in this really absurd world?

01:43:45.000 Like, are you competent?

01:43:46.000 Are you socially, are you basically competent? 0.98

01:43:48.000 Like if you're a complete slob, then you're not. 0.96

01:43:50.000 Yeah. 0.97

01:43:51.000 I was such a loser nerd in high school and as soon as I got to college I started acting and as soon as I got a good role and like did a good job on stage I got the hottest girlfriend.

01:44:01.000 I gotta give a slow clap to Curtis C on this one. 0.80

01:44:04.000 He super chats, if Uncle Ben had a gun as per the second amendment he probably would be alive but they lived in New York and Ben probably couldn't carry a gun legally and now Peter lives with guilt.

01:44:16.000 Bravo!

01:44:17.000 That hit the nail on the head.

01:44:20.000 That actually is correct.

01:44:23.000 I would love to see Spider-Man be like, I failed to see where that's my problem.

01:44:27.000 And then he walks outside and hears a gunshot and he goes, Uncle Ben!

01:44:30.000 And Uncle Ben's like, I got him, son.

01:44:32.000 We're good.

01:44:32.000 Yeah.

01:44:33.000 Yeah.

01:44:34.000 End of story.

01:44:35.000 That would be legit.

01:44:36.000 Yeah.

01:44:37.000 The criminal, the armed criminal pulls out a gun to try and steal his car and Ben just is like, nope.

01:44:41.000 It's like, it's my right to defend myself.

01:44:43.000 And then Spider-Man's like, wow.

01:44:45.000 And then, but then Ben says the same thing.

01:44:47.000 Son, with great power comes great responsibility.

01:44:49.000 That'd be awesome.

01:44:50.000 If I had let that man go who was armed and trying to kill people, who knows? 0.93

01:44:53.000 He could have killed somebody's uncle. 0.93

01:44:55.000 Right.

01:44:56.000 And then Spider-Man just becomes a second amendment advocate all of a sudden.

01:44:58.000 Yeah.

01:44:59.000 Bruce Wayne's parents could have done it, too.

01:45:01.000 That's his hero story.

01:45:03.000 You know what we need to do?

01:45:04.000 We need to do skits of, like, superhero origin stories, but their parents had guns. 0.88

01:45:08.000 Because, like, how many origin stories, like, the kid got orphaned?

01:45:11.000 It's like a Disney movie.

01:45:13.000 Uncle Ben pulls a gun.

01:45:14.000 John, what was Bruce Wayne's dad's name?

01:45:18.000 Tom.

01:45:19.000 Tom, Thomas Wayne.

01:45:20.000 I was gonna say John Wayne.

01:45:21.000 Thomas Wayne.

01:45:22.000 He's like, it's a scene where the guy's like, give me your money.

01:45:24.000 He goes, be cool.

01:45:25.000 I'll grab him my wallet.

01:45:27.000 Bang! 1.00

01:45:28.000 And he goes, and that son is why you carry it.

01:45:28.000 Superman.

01:45:30.000 Right.

01:45:31.000 And then the end of the story is Bruce Wayne just becomes a normal big law litigator.

01:45:34.000 Just a normal, normal rich kid turned big law litigator.

01:45:39.000 The end.

01:45:40.000 I need, I need to like commission somebody to actually like make these shorts.

01:45:45.000 That'd be hilarious.

01:45:50.000 Yeah, actually, we could look at tons of origin stories and just, like, correct them with, like, sane policies so they don't happen.

01:45:56.000 Right, yeah, like, the whole traumatic event doesn't happen and then they end up living some normal, boring life.

01:46:01.000 Like, the Joker story is actually, like, really simple, too.

01:46:04.000 He gets, like, he gets good health care from a good doctor with, like, a proper health system and then, you know, he just lives a normal life.

01:46:11.000 Right.

01:46:11.000 Has, like, three kids.

01:46:12.000 Becomes a psychopathic.

01:46:16.000 What other tragic origin stories? 0.89

01:46:18.000 Superman, the dad, could get like a bazooka and blow up the asteroid.

01:46:22.000 I don't know, maybe they could use some giant weapon, space weapon that they've been building to blow up the asteroid and save the planet.

01:46:27.000 Krypton was destroyed because... Was it an asteroid?

01:46:31.000 Well, depending on which iteration of it, it was that they were like overdeveloping and had destroyed the planet's core or something like that.

01:46:37.000 So that could be like...

01:46:39.000 Environmentalism, I guess.

01:46:40.000 But it's not as funny as Thomas Wayne pulling a gun.

01:46:43.000 Yeah, the real humans.

01:46:44.000 Or Uncle Ben being armed.

01:46:45.000 That was great, dude.

01:46:46.000 Curious Bravo. 0.99

01:46:47.000 Uncle Ben just shooting the guy before he shoots him.

01:46:51.000 He's like, remember, son, this is why we carry.

01:46:54.000 Spider-Man then, instead of making web shooters, he just brings guns with him.

01:46:58.000 Yeah, it's a Western now.

01:46:59.000 Yeah.

01:46:59.000 Yes.

01:47:00.000 I'm into that.

01:47:00.000 Perfect.

01:47:02.000 All right.

01:47:04.000 Fabian Alvarez says, Tim, did you guys see the huge drug bust in Florida?

01:47:08.000 Drugs flying from LAX in bags, unhidden in domestic flights to Florida.

01:47:12.000 What?

01:47:13.000 Well, I'm confident Rhonda Sanders is gonna clean up those streets, man. 1.00

01:47:16.000 We need to go full Singapore. 0.99

01:47:18.000 I'm getting more and more, like, hardcore.

01:47:19.000 I used to be, like, so anti-war on drugs, and now I'm going to the opposite position, which is, like... Yeah, but not Singapore.

01:47:25.000 I'm not, you know... Not weed. 0.97

01:47:27.000 Singapore kills. 0.87

01:47:28.000 Yeah, it depends on the drugs.

01:47:29.000 I mean, one of the points they made, and I had never actually heard this articulated very well, like, think about, like, a fentanyl dealer and, like, how many deaths they cause as a result of their dealing.

01:47:37.000 Like way more than a single murder.

01:47:39.000 Yeah, are they, is that a violent act?

01:47:41.000 Because if you sell someone a drug that kills them, are you then killing them?

01:47:44.000 I mean, I kind of think you are.

01:47:45.000 Yeah, I mean, I think you're morally culpable, right?

01:47:48.000 Like you're selling someone an addictive substance that will like eventually,

01:47:51.000 that eventually kills some very large percentage of them, right?

01:47:54.000 Like I would say that you're morally culpable, right?

01:47:57.000 With fentanyl, for sure.

01:47:59.000 That's the position of Singapore.

01:48:01.000 Unless we are this draconian, otherwise we have mass drug use.

01:48:04.000 Do they draw the line on certain drugs?

01:48:06.000 How do they define drugs?

01:48:08.000 Basically, it's the death penalty for certain trafficking amounts.

01:48:12.000 Above a certain amount, it's a trafficking amount, and that's the death penalty.

01:48:14.000 What's the amount?

01:48:15.000 Depends on the drug, right?

01:48:16.000 Oh, yeah.

01:48:17.000 Probably a very small amount.

01:48:18.000 For heroin, it's extremely small.

01:48:22.000 And they just have, you know, I mean, I think that it makes more moral sense from the, I guess, from Singapore's perspective.

01:48:26.000 They're a small country, and they just have warnings.

01:48:27.000 Like, when you come into Singapore, they're like, we have the death penalty for drug trafficking.

01:48:31.000 Don't even think about it.

01:48:32.000 Try it.

01:48:33.000 Right.

01:48:33.000 Yeah.

01:48:34.000 Selena Kyle, uh, that's Catwoman, isn't it? 0.98

01:48:36.000 Yeah.

01:48:36.000 Says, speaking of Kardashians just amassing wealth and not doing enough, what's enough?

01:48:40.000 Kim is working on getting men out of prison, willing to meet up with Trump to advocate for her cause, and went to law school.

01:48:45.000 Is that enough?

01:48:46.000 I totally agree.

01:48:49.000 I should clarify in case it came off, in case I did say that.

01:48:52.000 I'm not saying she wasn't.

01:48:54.000 I'm talking about there are a lot of people who just amass wealth and don't do anything, but that is respectable.

01:48:57.000 She worked on criminal justice reform.

01:48:59.000 Rideshare programs, I think.

01:49:01.000 People were getting out of jail.

01:49:02.000 She was hooking up a program for them to get car rides to job interviews. 0.96

01:49:06.000 Also awesome.

01:49:08.000 But I will stress too, like, Maybe it's better that some people don't do anything.

01:49:13.000 Because otherwise you get like a Mackenzie Bezos who puts $2 billion into Wokers.

01:49:16.000 Yeah, some people should just take their money and, you know, spend it on rich people things.

01:49:21.000 Their judgment as to what is a good cause is just not good enough.

01:49:24.000 Yeah.

01:49:27.000 Let's see what we got.

01:49:29.000 KC91 says, Hey guys from Australia.

01:49:31.000 Love all your work and listen every day while I'm working.

01:49:33.000 Keep it up.

01:49:33.000 Ian, you always make me look at things from a different angle, even if I don't agree.

01:49:37.000 That's it.

01:49:38.000 Perfect.

01:49:39.000 You won.

01:49:39.000 But the danger is always doing it.

01:49:41.000 You got to find balance.

01:49:42.000 Sometimes you want to look at it straight ahead.

01:49:43.000 Yeah.

01:49:44.000 It's easy to dance off the cliff of sanity sometimes.

01:49:47.000 Yeah.

01:49:47.000 Being too open-minded, your brain will fall out.

01:49:52.000 Gem R says, in the internet age, we're going to have to have to be more accepting. 0.97

01:49:56.000 We're going to have to be more accepting of politicians being real, whether that's a 36-year-old partying or someone having crap opinions on Twitter at 16.

01:50:06.000 You know, I get that, though, but When that Finnish Prime Minister was like booty dancing and stuff, apparently like the guy kissing her in the dance isn't her husband. 0.81

01:50:15.000 Like there's a lot going on there.

01:50:16.000 And the other thing is, we do have to expect people to be more real, but you'll never see a video of me doing that.

01:50:24.000 Well, never say never.

01:50:25.000 Everyone just said, oh, shucks.

01:50:27.000 I mean, like, taking off the beanie and getting all sweaty.

01:50:29.000 Come on.

01:50:30.000 I do goofy stuff and will probably film stuff with with Cast Castle.

01:50:34.000 But my point is that when you're looking for a leader, there are people right now.

01:50:39.000 Who might goof off a little bit in that way, but world leaders tend to be very steadfast and serious, or at least that's what we expect.

01:50:47.000 I was talking about this in a segment earlier.

01:50:49.000 Everyone's partying in the city with the city lights going off, and the soldiers at the city walls are standing steadfast to make sure everyone's safe.

01:50:56.000 And that's the person you want leading your country, to make sure you're safe as you're dancing.

01:51:00.000 Not to have the leader go off and go dancing when Russia's knocking on your door with nuclear weapons.

01:51:04.000 Yeah, your military commander should not be getting drunk with the troops.

01:51:07.000 Yeah, I actually think about that.

01:51:09.000 Like, think about if you're just a random soldier in the Finnish military, what you'd think of seeing your, the leader of, head of the government acting this way.

01:51:16.000 Like, especially with like, you know, you just joined NATO.

01:51:20.000 Russia's threatening a nuclear deployment on your border?

01:51:23.000 Like, there's a lack of seriousness there that I would be annoyed by, like, if I were serving.

01:51:28.000 Is she the head of their military? 0.83

01:51:30.000 I don't know if they have the same sort of commander-in-chief structure, but I assume she's the head of government.

01:51:34.000 I assume the government would declare war if they ever went to war.

01:51:38.000 The government is responsible for setting the rules of the draft and the rules of their service.

01:51:43.000 Roberto Lara says, so what Tim is saying is the billionaires are building doomsday bunkers and becoming dual citizens to, dare I say, evading the tax the rich phrase?

01:51:51.000 Bro, it is crazy how the rich get away with not paying taxes.

01:51:55.000 Yeah, they don't need to go to New Zealand and set up a thing to not pay taxes.

01:51:58.000 They just don't pay taxes.

01:52:00.000 But it's like, I really do feel like there's no real way to solve the issue of getting people who have massive amounts of wealth to pay taxes.

01:52:10.000 And I'm not talking about wealth tax garbage, that makes no sense.

01:52:13.000 There's an issue of just how, when you have a ton of money, how you can structure it to where you don't pay money on the income generated, be it capital gains or otherwise.

01:52:23.000 Like the Panama Papers, for instance, we know it.

01:52:26.000 I'm not a fan of taxes, though, so I'm not entirely sure, like, if the solution is just give the money to the government.

01:52:32.000 I'm not opposed to a taxation system if the government wasn't overtly corrupt, so, you know, I'm not gonna pretend to have the answer, so I'm just gonna stand on the fence, how about that?

01:52:40.000 It'd be cool if the government was like, here's what we need, and then we paid for that with the taxes, as opposed to them being like, this is how much money we need, then they don't even tell you what it's for.

01:52:52.000 Yeah.

01:52:53.000 Where's it going?

01:52:53.000 Justify it.

01:52:54.000 Yeah.

01:52:56.000 It's like all the taxes I was paying in New York.

01:52:58.000 I don't know where they went.

01:52:59.000 The infrastructure was terrible.

01:53:00.000 Crazy taxes, too.

01:53:01.000 Terrible.

01:53:02.000 Crazy Savior says Lex Friedman had an intriguing conversation with Donald Hoffman about the nature of reality, consciousness, and the future of science and physics.

01:53:10.000 Truly mind-bending stuff.

01:53:12.000 That's what we got to get going with the Inverted World podcast.

01:53:14.000 Yeah.

01:53:15.000 Originally it was just a podcast.

01:53:16.000 Yeah.

01:53:17.000 Or it was actually like articles in a podcast, but now that we've like kind of changed it, we are like, we need a more podcast element of conversations about this stuff instead of the storytelling stuff.

01:53:25.000 We did do a great series of members only interviews and Ian was my first guest and it was amazing.

01:53:31.000 We should do that again.

01:53:32.000 Yeah.

01:53:33.000 Once Tim locks me in the haunted house again.

01:53:36.000 You're free to go get locked in whenever you want, bro.

01:53:38.000 I've seen it.

01:53:38.000 We're going to do it soon, so you'll be back.

01:53:41.000 And yeah, Donald Hoffman's pretty cool.

01:53:42.000 He's got some pretty freaky ideas about reality and observation.

01:53:45.000 I haven't seen that though.

01:53:46.000 One cool thing too is that we have the music video for our song Only Ever Wanted, which is like 90% done.

01:53:53.000 The ad for it is up in Times Square.

01:53:55.000 Shane is the star, along with his wife Nancy, and she's the star of the song art itself.

01:54:01.000 Yeah, that's wild.

01:54:02.000 So we locked him in a haunted house and then filmed him fighting with his wife, you know?

01:54:05.000 Yeah, he's like, you made me fight my wife.

01:54:08.000 It's like the Joker scene.

01:54:09.000 He broke a pool stick.

01:54:11.000 I wasn't there.

01:54:13.000 I told my henchman. 0.91

01:54:14.000 Make him fight his wife. 1.00

01:54:16.000 Make him suffer. 0.99

01:54:18.000 Then make her cry.

01:54:19.000 Yeah, well, you'll see.

01:54:19.000 You'll see.

01:54:20.000 The video looks awesome, though, and the song is really cool.

01:54:23.000 Worth it.

01:54:24.000 Yeah, totally worth it.

01:54:25.000 We're still fighting now.

01:54:27.000 It's, um, we couldn't even figure out the genre.

01:54:29.000 It's like a weird pop and also rock, but it's like two different songs almost.

01:54:34.000 It's like the same song, but we've had a tremendous response for it.

01:54:37.000 So I'm excited.

01:54:37.000 We'll see what happens.

01:54:38.000 It's like, um, it's like very emotional kind of pop song, I guess.

01:54:44.000 I don't know.

01:54:44.000 I hate even using genres.

01:54:46.000 I hate thinking of them.

01:54:47.000 I know it's like the easy route, but, but for me, that song is just catchy.

01:54:50.000 It's been stuck in my head a lot.

01:54:51.000 So it's a good thing.

01:54:52.000 We should show, well, we'll wait.

01:54:54.000 Once it launches, we'll show it on the show.

01:54:55.000 Yeah, because the way we want to have an impact on the culture, so we were hoping that it charts and does all that normal stuff like, you know, John Rich's progress hit number one on iTunes for like eight days or whatever.

01:55:06.000 He was Billboard, I think, Billboard Top 65, which is huge in the Hot 100.

01:55:10.000 I think it was Hot 100, 65.

01:55:11.000 That's massive.

01:55:11.000 Yeah, that's great.

01:55:12.000 So, you know, we're hoping that we can start building culture.

01:55:15.000 And then, you know, what I see with The Daily Wire when they do this stuff, they just hired a Disney executive.

01:55:21.000 And a lot of people were like, you better explain why you're doing this.

01:55:23.000 And I'm like, bro, this is amazing.

01:55:26.000 They work for them now.

01:55:27.000 Like the executives of Disney are going to work for conservative guys.

01:55:30.000 Like that's called winning.

01:55:31.000 Yeah.

01:55:32.000 Like you're, you're absorbing all of that.

01:55:34.000 I think it's fantastic.

01:55:35.000 It's like operation paperclip when the Nazi scientists did benefit the US. 0.93

01:55:42.000 Yeah.

01:55:43.000 Yeah.

01:55:43.000 Use those rockets to get to the moon.

01:55:45.000 If it's even there.

01:55:46.000 All right.

01:55:47.000 Mike Gibson says Art Bell on his show did an experiment where he had all his listeners focus on different things, and every time what they were focusing on happened.

01:55:55.000 Oh, cool.

01:55:55.000 No.

01:55:56.000 That's Coast to Coast, right?

01:55:57.000 That is Coast to Coast.

01:55:57.000 Yeah, I don't know about that episode, but that's cool.

01:55:59.000 But what happened?

01:56:00.000 Like, how do you do that?

01:56:01.000 I don't know.

01:56:02.000 Can we do that somehow?

01:56:02.000 I wonder what year that was.

01:56:03.000 Yeah.

01:56:03.000 I want to start that.

01:56:04.000 What should we have people focus on?

01:56:05.000 Like, world peace?

01:56:06.000 Yeah.

01:56:07.000 Yeah, world peace.

01:56:08.000 There you go.

01:56:09.000 Getting Trump elected?

01:56:11.000 Which is world peace.

01:56:12.000 Well, we hope it is.

01:56:13.000 Certainly not if you're like Biden.

01:56:14.000 I want to do a group meditation.

01:56:16.000 We tried this in 2007, but the infrastructure wasn't there.

01:56:18.000 But to do a live video stream where we all got on and we all meditated together with our video cameras up.

01:56:24.000 And it was just, we tried to do it on stickum.com, but it couldn't handle more than 20 people at a time.

01:56:29.000 We had like hundreds and hundreds, maybe even, I don't know how many, but we could do that again.

01:56:32.000 The infrastructure is getting to the point where we could have like 10,000 people in a video chat.

01:56:36.000 Yes.

01:56:36.000 Getting there.

01:56:37.000 We'll turn off HAARP.

01:56:38.000 Yeah, turn off HAARP or turn on HAARP.

01:56:42.000 Interesting.

01:56:42.000 All right.

01:56:43.000 So LayCucumberLime says, I used to be homeless.

01:56:45.000 I was taught the magic.

01:56:46.000 It's definitely real.

01:56:48.000 You see what you look for.

01:56:49.000 The secret is that it's always been there.

01:56:51.000 Awesome.

01:56:51.000 Congrats on that.

01:56:53.000 Cool.

01:56:53.000 We should, uh, get everybody to focus on something.

01:56:57.000 I don't know.

01:56:59.000 YouTube apologizing to Steven Crowder?

01:57:02.000 Everybody just imagine in your mind YouTube removing the strike from Crowder's channel and apologizing, admitting they were wrong.

01:57:08.000 50 lashes to themselves.

01:57:10.000 Reversing their policies on censorship.

01:57:12.000 Imagine the FBI being disbanded.

01:57:18.000 The thing about Crowder that's crazy is it was Carrie Lakes that made comments about the election. 0.99

01:57:22.000 She's the GOP primary candidate for governor. 0.96

01:57:25.000 What she says is of paramount importance to this election, and they took it down.

01:57:31.000 So I imagine, I didn't see the episode, but that Steve just didn't push back.

01:57:34.000 I don't know.

01:57:35.000 I don't know.

01:57:35.000 It's just, if you make the claims or whatever, I guess.

01:57:38.000 If someone makes a claim, you gotta push back on it on TV, otherwise YouTube's like, ah, they're promoting it.

01:57:42.000 And you're like, no.

01:57:43.000 But what she said wasn't even about, like, Trump.

01:57:47.000 She was talking about Arizona's... I don't know exactly what was said, but that's... Either way, it shouldn't matter.

01:57:52.000 Someone who is going to potentially be the governor, like, is saying things... I'll tell you this.

01:57:58.000 If the fear is those ideas would hurt Republicans, then YouTube's helping Republicans, I guess.

01:58:03.000 Because now the moderates aren't going to be hearing those things, and the Democrats will struggle to use it as a weapon.

01:58:09.000 All right, Sleep is the Cousin of Death says, good things happen to me equals magic, aka narcissism.

01:58:16.000 But I'll go one step further.

01:58:18.000 They weren't just saying like, all these good things happen to me, it must be magic.

01:58:20.000 They were saying like, I have chosen for a thing to happen to me, and it did.

01:58:24.000 With acting, you notice it in the entertainment industry a lot.

01:58:26.000 It's more sensitive because your mood when you go into the audition is a big part of whether or not you get the role.

01:58:31.000 And if you believe you're gonna get it, and you have that confidence and friendliness to you, they love you and they want you there.

01:58:38.000 Ivan Ortiz says, Tim, you didn't hear it from me, but it seems Ghost Girl is a fed who opposes returning carts when she shops. 1.00

01:58:45.000 She failed the test.

01:58:47.000 So that's Mary Morgan, co-host of Pop Culture Crisis.

01:58:50.000 So the trick is, whenever you're going to hire someone, what you do is you invite them out to hang out, to meet everybody, and then you say, That's a great test.

01:58:59.000 run to the grocery store and pick up some drinks and you know some soda and

01:59:02.000 some pizzas maybe and then when you go you bring you you bring the shopping

01:59:06.000 cart unload it and then you wait to see if they put it back and if they don't

01:59:10.000 you don't hire them. That's great test. I always return the cart.

01:59:15.000 I ride on it.

01:59:15.000 I run and I jump on it and ride it.

01:59:17.000 Yeah, it's a little fun.

01:59:18.000 We were talking about this once with someone we were looking to hire, like as a joke, not seriously doing it.

01:59:23.000 And then as we were walking to the car and joking, like, oh yeah, I remember the thing about the shopping cart.

01:59:28.000 And then the dude actually just returned the shopping cart.

01:59:31.000 We all started laughing.

01:59:32.000 Because we weren't seriously considering doing that.

01:59:35.000 But I will say, though, that actually is a good test.

01:59:38.000 Is this person willing to do a little bit extra without reward because it's the right thing to do?

01:59:42.000 I think about picking up garbage, too.

01:59:43.000 If you're walking down the street and you see a wrapper, just pick it up.

01:59:46.000 I actually talked about this in another interview a few years ago because I'm always thinking about it.

01:59:50.000 I always return the cart.

01:59:51.000 And then I got some backlash from mothers who say when they're in the parking lot and they feel a little uncomfortable, Dang.

01:59:58.000 So you're making up for those.

01:59:59.000 I like that.

02:00:00.000 from whatever nefarious things might be in their periphery, they just leave the cart wherever.

02:00:03.000 Well, you know, sometimes I get, I grab a couple other carts and I'll return three of them.

02:00:06.000 Dang.

02:00:07.000 So you're making up for those.

02:00:08.000 Above and beyond.

02:00:09.000 I like that.

02:00:10.000 They should pay you.

02:00:11.000 Those that cannot do, I will do for them. 1.00

02:00:13.000 Anonymous Steve says, Tim, thank you kindly, Bioshock vibes.

02:00:17.000 That's literally why I say, would you kindly.

02:00:20.000 Because I'm commanding you to do it.

02:00:23.000 So I guess the people who know Bioshock, when I say, would you kindly smash the like button. 0.96

02:00:27.000 Oh, funny.

02:00:27.000 I'm trying to force you to do it.

02:00:29.000 You're manifesting it.

02:00:30.000 Hulk smash the like button. 1.00

02:00:31.000 I didn't watch it.

02:00:34.000 It was a video game.

02:00:35.000 Oh, okay.

02:00:35.000 I thought it was a cartoon.

02:00:37.000 It's like based off of, it's like the art and ideas of Ayn Rand into this kind of game.

02:00:42.000 It's such a masterpiece.

02:00:43.000 You really should play it.

02:00:44.000 Have you seen it?

02:00:45.000 Which game?

02:00:46.000 Bioshock. 0.67

02:00:47.000 Oh, I've heard it. Yeah, I've heard of it.

02:00:48.000 So it's like a city built underwater called Rapture, and it's like objectivist society, basically.

02:00:53.000 It's just amazing.

02:00:55.000 But it's a very, very old game, so spoiler alert for whatever reason.

02:00:59.000 But throughout the game, there's a guy talking to you over like a communications device, and he says,

02:01:03.000 would you kindly, whenever the game shifts to like, the player loses control, he's like,

02:01:08.000 He's like, would you kindly pull that lever for me?

02:01:11.000 And things like that, where you have to do it.

02:01:12.000 And it's because you're mind controlled when he says, would you kindly, it's a command that forces you to do it.

02:01:17.000 So when I say, would you kindly smash the like button, it's mind control.

02:01:22.000 It's a gag.

02:01:23.000 I mean, most people don't know the reference.

02:01:24.000 Wouldn't think anything, wouldn't think twice.

02:01:26.000 All right.

02:01:26.000 We'll just grab a couple more of these super chats if it's working.

02:01:31.000 Cause YouTube keeps crashing on us and I don't know why.

02:01:34.000 I do the manifestation where I'll be like, you subscribed to the channel.

02:01:37.000 You liked it.

02:01:38.000 You liked the video as well.

02:01:40.000 And then you just let it roll.

02:01:42.000 Check this out.

02:01:43.000 Le Courrier Des Bois says, Tim, previously you were talking about BookIt and how you got ads without searching for it.

02:01:51.000 I never did either.

02:01:52.000 And the day after watching your show, I started getting BookIt ads like you did.

02:01:56.000 Love y'all from Quebec.

02:01:57.000 So you remember Bukkit from Pizza Hut?

02:02:00.000 Not pizza, but like in school you get the little Bukkit wheel and if you read the book you get like a free donut and you get a pizza.

02:02:06.000 You don't remember this?

02:02:07.000 No, it didn't happen.

02:02:09.000 Jack talks about Pizza Hut nationalism and we were talking about how they had the Bukkit program where if you finished the book report you got a wheel and had coupons on it.

02:02:18.000 And then my parents showed me a Dunkin' Donuts, I got a free donut.

02:02:20.000 We go to Pizza Hut, you get the free personal pizza.

02:02:22.000 And then the next day, it was Pandora actually, I was playing music when I was skating, and an ad popped up and in big blue letters said, book it.

02:02:30.000 And I was like, what?

02:02:32.000 Book it doesn't exist anymore.

02:02:34.000 Or at least as far as I know, it doesn't.

02:02:36.000 And this ad was for a travel company that said, book it.

02:02:38.000 I'm like, whatever is spying on me didn't understand what book it was and assumed it

02:02:43.000 was a travel thing.

02:02:44.000 It tried.

02:02:45.000 Yeah.

02:02:45.000 Unless, you know, people think our devices are spying on us.

02:02:50.000 Some have said it's just the algorithm predicting our behavior.

02:02:54.000 Or it could be that we live in a simulation.

02:02:56.000 And your reality is constructed by what you think and see and...

02:03:00.000 That's right.

02:03:01.000 So, ladies and gentlemen, would you kindly smash that like button?

02:04:00.000 This is like the we need to get the mobile apps and I know this is the big hurdle for us because we've been talking with some OTT developers about we've got hit by a bunch of a bunch of people have hit us up about making the app.

02:04:13.000 This is the best show for when you're like driving home late at night or you're on a road trip and you just play every episode and it's just like.

02:04:20.000 Yeah.

02:04:20.000 That was like one of the best comments we've, we've gotten.

02:04:22.000 It was like, someone drove from like LA to, to Vegas, listening to Inverted World.

02:04:28.000 This is what I was thinking when I was like, we got to do something like this.

02:04:32.000 Cause I remember when I went on a road trip, that's all I want to do is play ghost stories, call-in shows, like, you know, stuff like that.

02:04:38.000 I was like, we need something like that.

02:04:40.000 Yeah.

02:04:40.000 No, it's been exciting.

02:04:41.000 It's great.
