On today's episode of The Timestamps, we talk about the new autonomous zone set up outside of the Chavin trial, and what it means for the future of the city of Minneapolis. We also have a new segment featuring conservative activist Scott Pressler, who travels the country picking up trash and registering voters, and now is on a mission to repeal and replace those elected politicians who are not America First.
00:00:36.000We've got some crazy stories for you today.
00:00:38.000Outside the autonomous zone of George Floyd Memorial, you see, in Minneapolis, where the
00:00:42.000Chavin trial is now taking place, far leftists have set up an autonomous zone.
00:00:48.000And apparently someone was already shot and killed there.
00:00:50.000We are entering, it's like a rerun of exactly where we were.
00:00:55.000When they defund the police, it emboldens these groups.
00:00:58.000When these people go in riot and they don't do anything about it, it emboldens these groups.
00:01:03.000And now there's a video going around of a local journalist who's outside of this new autonomous zone in Minneapolis explaining what's happening when two people dressed all in black threaten this man and they tell him he better leave or else.
00:01:17.000I've seen it before, and we'll see it again.
00:01:19.000You can expect, at least in my opinion, there to be mass riots in Minneapolis, no matter what happens in this trial.
00:01:26.000It's going to get bad, it's going to get intense, and we're going to talk about it.
00:01:29.000And we'll talk about a bunch of other things, too.
00:01:30.000We have from Christopher Rufo, apparently someone leaked him documents, that one school's teaching kids to worship Aztec gods and ritual sacrifice, and other just... I don't know exactly what they're talking about.
00:01:43.000The general idea is it's anti-whiteness, so anything coming from Europe is considered wrong or taboo and must be rejected.
00:01:49.000And this is what we're getting in our schools now.
00:01:51.000Other than that, we have GameStop stonks breaking, what is it, like 350 today, or some ridiculously high number, and it's just, it's a rollercoaster of absolute insanity.
00:02:00.000So, again, thank you all so much for hanging out.
00:02:02.000My name's Tim Poole, and we're hanging out with conservative activist Scott Pressler.
00:02:06.000Do you want to introduce yourself, explain what you do?
00:02:09.000A conservative activist that travels the country picking up trash, registering voters, and now is on a mission to repeal and replace those elected politicians who are not America first.
00:02:25.000So basically the people who, all this foreign aid, they're giving our money away when we're at our worst, when we're at our most desperate times.
00:02:32.000Basically, yeah, giving money to Honduras instead of funding our homeless.
00:04:03.000So go to TimGuest.com, become a member, because it helps support the show.
00:04:07.000And in the event we get purged, or deleted, or banned, or whatever, you know, that's where you'll be able to find us.
00:04:11.000But my friends, I also have another announcement.
00:04:14.000You see, we have this meme on the show that started because of Alex Jones, and it's, I am a gorilla.
00:04:19.000It doesn't really mean much other than, like, you watch the show, and Alex Jones said it, and we thought it was funny.
00:04:24.000A bunch of people then started making gorilla emojis in the chat, and interestingly, around the same time as all this is happening, we make our famous I am a gorilla t-shirt.
00:04:34.000We get the GameStop Rebellion where they have this meme where they say gorillas together strong.
00:04:40.000So I decided to commemorate GameStop stocks skyrocketing back up from like it was like four something it goes down outside back at 350.
00:04:47.000Ladies and gentlemen go to TimCast.com click shop and you can get your very own diamond hands gorilla t-shirt So it's basically the same thing as I Am A Gorilla, but he's wearing a suit, holding wads of cash with sunglasses on and smoking.
00:05:00.000And, uh, I just thought it was funny because I saw what people were saying with the GameStop thing, so, uh, if you like it and you want to get a new edition of the I Am A Gorilla shirt, for some reason the only shirts we're able to make are iterations of I Am A Gorilla, and maybe we'll think of something more clever in the meantime, but, uh, go to TimCast.com, click shop.
00:05:16.000Don't forget to smash the like button.
00:05:21.000They say, outside the autonomous zone of the George Floyd Memorial, where police aren't allowed.
00:05:28.000They say Minneapolis leaders say they'll reopen a barricaded intersection known as George Floyd Square after the murder trial the former police officer accused of killing him.
00:05:37.000But the activists who serve as unofficial leaders and organizers of the area have issued 24 demands before they'll step aside, even calling for the recall of the county prosecutor.
00:06:29.000The situation at the memorial, from what I understand, it's kind of volatile, said Kim Griffin, a Minneapolis resident.
00:06:34.000People that want to go and support doesn't feel a sense of inclusion.
00:06:38.000There is more of like militant type atmosphere over and a sense of fear.
00:06:44.000Griffin supports police reform and protested Floyd's death outside the courthouse Tuesday, but she doesn't agree with what's happening at the memorial.
00:06:51.000Her nephew, who identified to NewsNation as Imaz Wright, was shot and killed at the memorial over the weekend.
00:06:58.000Quote, police were not allowed to get into that area.
00:07:01.000He was carried out outside of the zone of George Floyd Square.
00:07:04.000It was made clear law enforcement was not welcome to penetrate that zone.
00:07:08.000Which is an atrocity because his life was taken.
00:07:11.000And I mean, who knows whether or not he would have survived had things been different.
00:07:15.000Ladies and gentlemen, here we go again.
00:07:18.000It's just like what happened last time.
00:07:20.000You guys were following what happened in Seattle and Chaz.
00:08:46.000Two-sided coin, because I understand your point of view in that people have the right to set up their own autonomous zone, but on private property, you know, not where there's public access to streets, to vehicles, to what if an ambulance can't get through?
00:09:05.000What if, you know, the police can't get in?
00:09:07.000So I understand that, but at the same time, I'm kind of like, wait a second, Look at the failed liberal policies of California, for example, or Washington or Oregon.
00:09:16.000It's almost like, why don't we let these failed policies be on full display so people can see that it doesn't work, and why everybody's fleeing from New York to Florida, why everybody is fleeing from California, and do we just let things happen and let things get so bad that people finally wake up?
00:09:41.000There was some Republican who said... I can't remember who this was.
00:09:43.000Maybe you guys might remember where he was like, maybe we need, you know, some terror attacks so that people remember why they need our security state.
00:09:53.000So I look at these autonomous zones and my first thing is...
00:09:56.000Look, when it came to the Revolutionary War, the regulars weren't Americans.
00:10:00.000They were British regulars being deployed to stop the uprising from Americans who believed in self-governance.
00:10:05.000So it would be one thing if the police of Minneapolis were protecting a community, and then National Guard came in and tried removing the police, and people started rising up and revolting.
00:10:16.000It's another thing when the community itself, you have a woman who lives here saying, we don't want this, it's an atrocity.
00:10:42.000I guess, you know, they'll try and claim the Boston Tea Party was a riot, ignoring the fact that the only thing that was damaged, you know, outside of the tea was a lock that got replaced the next day.
00:10:52.000I guess that's like the famous line, you know.
00:10:55.000And then what we actually have is extremists, authoritarians.
00:10:59.000So perhaps Our tolerance for certain activities and certain tactics, for a lot of people, just has more to do with our ideologies.
00:11:08.000If you're fighting to free people and respect their property and their rights and their safety and security, then I think you're probably doing the right thing.
00:11:15.000If you're fighting to take over their space, you kill their children and then tell them to shut up or else, look at, they're threatening a journalist.
00:11:23.000There's a journalist who walked up and they threatened him.
00:11:26.000Like, they're not fighting for freedom, they're fighting for power and control.
00:11:28.000If they had like a constitution, like a digital rights bill, that they were like, we want digital rights for every human, we want to amend the constitution with these, and they had like a list of demands, that's another story.
00:11:39.000But an armed group taking over a piece of property and shooting someone and threatening is like...
00:12:45.000The jurors, basically all of them, have said they're scared their homes will be attacked if they are found out to be on the jury.
00:12:53.000And now you have city council in Minneapolis who voted to defund the police and many cops leaving the department, now coming back and doing a $4 million recruitment drive because the people of Minneapolis are saying, we need police.
00:13:08.000The problem is, they refuse to address the extremism.
00:13:12.000These Antifa people are just gonna keep... It's just gonna keep happening.
00:15:20.000Could you imagine if these people decided to riot because Andrew Cuomo killed 15,000 people and then is now being accused of trying to cover up the numbers?
00:15:29.000Even having one assemblyman say it was straight up a coordinated criminal conspiracy?
00:15:33.000Imagine if when a governor of a state orders people into nursing homes killing 15,000 people, there was a protest.
00:15:44.000If there was one person that would speak up against the governor of Michigan, for instance.
00:15:49.000Have you been working up there against Whitmer?
00:15:53.000I will be traveling to Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and New York.
00:15:59.000And as we know, in several of these states, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Michigan, New York, we know that COVID positive patients were put into nursing facilities and people died because of those Democrat policies.
00:16:15.000They're actually saying now Whitmer could face criminal charges.
00:16:41.000But what about, I don't know, 15,000 people being killed in nursing homes?
00:16:45.000It was, what was it, March 24th that Cuomo started killing these people?
00:16:48.000If we had real journalists who are doing their jobs, who spoke at the nursing homes and investigated what Cuomo was doing, instead of just calling themselves Cuomosexuals, you know, and praising him.
00:18:58.000It's an opportunity to go in and do this and rally people who normally don't care to fight with us.
00:19:03.000I want to point out too, when it comes to George Floyd and the media coverage, like there were two videos that came out about George Floyd.
00:19:09.000The first one, eight minutes, nine minutes of the dude with his knee on his neck.
00:19:13.000I don't think it was the full nine minutes of the right.
00:19:16.000Well, I saw like a three minute version They were like it happened for nine minutes. That was the
00:19:19.000emotional spark. That's the one that burned everyone's memory
00:19:22.000Then another longer video came out of George like tripping out in his car being like I can't breathe
00:19:27.000I can't breathe when they're just talking to him and Struggling in the car. Take me out of the car. Put me on
00:20:30.000I don't think they want to go for the nursing homes because they know it's gonna impact all these other Democrat governors who did similar things.
00:20:35.000Then you have the political left elite who know they can easily control and manipulate these people.
00:21:22.000It's the ends justifying the means, is what Scott was saying.
00:21:25.000And the problem I always speak out against is because there is no end.
00:21:28.000There's no point where we all come together and say, that's it, we've won life, we're done.
00:21:33.000You don't accomplish your goals of a communist utopia, and then it just stops.
00:21:38.000And then one day, everyone's holding hands under the rainbow.
00:21:40.000No, now you have to defend the revolution.
00:21:42.000Now you have to set up more autonomous zones.
00:21:44.000Now you gotta send out more of your revolutionary guards to other parts of the city where people oppose you and seize control.
00:21:49.000They think they can lie, cheat, and steal, and manipulate to gain power, And that means once they're in power, they will lie, cheat, and steal to maintain that power.
00:21:58.000And it starts with little things like this.
00:22:01.000We'll see where this ends up, but it's amazing to me.
00:22:04.000I mean, have there been, were there autonomous zones before this?
00:22:07.000Was this like one of the first or what?
00:22:41.000Where we have Our policing, making sure that there's fewer crimes, not more, you know, where we actually believe that a social worker probably can't do some of those things that our police are doing.
00:22:55.000But listen, we can't just point at a problem and say, this is wrong.
00:23:00.000That's the problem I have with the Republican Party, is we're always pointing out problems, but never offering solutions.
00:23:08.000The best way to show the failure of the left is to have a successful right.
00:23:14.000And I want to you, you actually are like embodying this.
00:23:24.000President Trump brought attention to the city of Baltimore, and I always say he did it ungracefully.
00:23:30.000And I was just disappointed because everybody was quick to point the finger and to bring about blame and judgment, but nobody was actually doing anything.
00:23:42.000And I just tweeted out to my followers and said, I'm going to Baltimore.
00:23:45.000And it just started this nationwide campaign, literally, where I had people from across the country that said, Scott, I want to help.
00:23:53.000And we had 200 volunteers on a Monday picked up 12 tons of trash in 12 hours in the most dangerous streets in America, West Baltimore, where the sites of the Freddie Gray protests actually happened in these streets.
00:24:05.000And I met the aunt of Freddie Gray who was there with us at the cleanup.
00:24:10.000And I just said, wait a second, I'm a private citizen without the backing of the government, without any donors, without any funders.
00:24:20.000And if I'm able to gather volunteers to pick up 12 tons of trash in 12 hours, what the heck is our government doing?
00:24:28.000And why aren't they using our resources to get it done?
00:24:32.000Well, well, I mean, first of all, someone needs to fund the blowing up of children overseas, right?
00:24:39.000So our Congress is hard at work on this very important issue of not actually having a say in whether or not Biden bombs Syria because he didn't have congressional approval for it.
00:25:31.000After the election, okay, now we have no choice but to admit all of this really bad stuff was happening.
00:25:37.000They didn't want to risk Donald Trump winning by telling people the truth about what was really going on.
00:25:42.000Now, because of that mismanagement, because the media didn't do their jobs in calling out Cuomo, he horribly mismanaged the state, resulting in all this death and debt.
00:26:31.000Around the world, food is starting to skyrocket.
00:26:33.000I already talked about it, like, last week.
00:26:34.000Because I have friends who are like, they go to the grocery store and they're surprised to find things like 60% more for the same amount of food.
00:27:11.000It was an opportunity to stop Donald Trump and to throw everything they could at him, sacrificing everything and watching the country burn to the ground because it meant no more Trump.
00:28:48.000And when I was in Georgia knocking on doors for free, went down three times for Loeffler and Perdue, the big thing that they even had these cars with billboards on them that were electronic, and it said, vote for Democrats to get your $2,000 check.
00:29:06.000And I want to make this clear to the viewers that are watching.
00:29:09.000Democrats are in full control of the government.
00:29:13.000They have the White House, they have the Senate, and they have the House.
00:29:38.000I'm laughing at the hypocrisy that the people were suckered in for voting for Democrats thinking that they were actually going to get a change.
00:29:50.000And no, I just want to make it clear, the Democrats are not going to give you what you wanted.
00:30:05.000But you know, a lot of these young people didn't know, you know, when we've had some of these leftists on the show and they're like 24 years old, it's like, oh, they were, you know, how old were they 10 years ago when, when Obama got elected, they were in their teenagers, 12 years old or whatever.
00:31:10.000They were saying that the American people wouldn't want to vote for the first black president, and so they needed an old white man to give them familiarity.
00:31:19.000That's what I heard a lot in the press back then.
00:31:58.000And it's unfortunate, but I believe The Republican establishment took a wager, and they thought, let's say President Trump were to get reelected in the 2020 election, then that would mean that the Senate would probably flip Democrat in 2022, and they thought it better
00:34:09.000Ultimately, I just don't trust the Democratic Party, to be completely honest.
00:34:13.000I don't trust the Republican Party to actually do anything if they do win, unless there are new candidates, like you mentioned, through the primary process.
00:34:19.000So I'll just throw it to you guys right now.
00:34:22.000Actually, Scott, you're working on this.
00:34:24.000Can you name one person from each party that you think is actually trying to do good?
00:34:29.000I would say on the right, I think Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley are trying to do good.
00:34:37.000I would put stock in them as good candidates on the right side.
00:34:44.000On the left... I'll say all of Congress, too.
00:34:52.000And in fact, I wanted him to run against Marco Rubio and primary him, but he's not going to do that in Florida, unfortunately.
00:34:59.000DeSantis, look, I judge a person based on not their talk but their walk.
00:35:04.000If you are results-driven, if you are actually focused on accomplishments, if you are actually writing bills and passing legislation and preventing unconstitutional measures like the mask mandates, DeSantis would be my boy.
00:36:21.000No, I wouldn't, personally, I'm not a fan of Sinema, because she was fighting for $15, and then as soon as she got the power, she said, later.
00:36:29.000I'm like, how many politicians we have are honestly saying, here's what I want to do, and I'll do it, and then they do?
00:36:34.000It's easy to point out many Republicans.
00:36:38.000Ted Cruz, Hawley, far from perfect, but I do believe they're fighting for what they said they were going to fight for.
00:37:16.000I give respect to Konova because he seems that he's been consistent in his messaging and he won't lock in step with the Democrat Party just because of Debbie Wasserman.
00:38:28.000It's a lot of media spin So it's hard to say that like she's the real deal, but I'm really happy from what you know what?
00:38:33.000I'm gonna absolutely say I will say where she did too late.
00:38:36.000I disagree with her a lot of things, but but she's consistent, right?
00:38:40.000So she voted against the omnibus bill That was like a lot of this foreign spending and bloat for reasons that you know I probably don't agree with and a lot of our policies don't agree with I'm just looking for someone who's gonna be like here's what I want to do and I will do it and Mm-hmm.
00:38:51.000I look at almost every single politician and they're like, if you vote for me, I'm gonna get into Congress and I'm gonna end this blockade.
00:38:58.000I'm gonna fight for kitchen table issues like the economy and jobs.
00:39:02.000And then 31 Democrats get in and the first thing they do is thank you for letting me in.
00:42:23.000And then Clarence Thomas was like, if we're not going to hear it before, we're not going to hear it during, and we're not going to hear it after, when will anyone get resolution on any of this stuff?
00:43:32.000Well, I think if you want more voters, you should make it so that felons can vote, because I do think that's a right, and I think that once you've paid your debt to society by going to prison, if you want voters, Get the felon vote.
00:47:13.000And so if you do it to my products, I'm gonna do it back to you.
00:47:18.000And I just think it was so also asinine that for the longest time, America had a higher corporate tax than other countries.
00:47:27.000Why not make ourselves competitive and say, wait a second, if we lower the corporate tax, Maybe more businesses are going to come to our country as opposed to leaving the country to go to a corporate tax haven overseas.
00:47:41.000And I just think we need to make things more common sense and just go, wow, let's go to the lowest common denominator to make things more competitive, to bring more business to America.
00:48:56.000Trans-Pacific Partnership, where they're basically giving corporations the ability to sue American citizens, to sue our government for like defamation or for what they would call like... It was an extraction.
00:49:08.000It was like hollowing out the United States.
00:49:11.000The American workers were getting left behind.
00:49:15.000And that's why people just were screaming, I'm at a cell and I can't take it anymore.
00:49:20.000And then Bernie, you know, it's unfortunate that Bernie sold out and he went totally establishment and changed his tune from fighting for the working class to, you know, white privilege and social justice.
00:49:31.000Because I guess he became rich and he didn't want to let it go.
00:49:34.000Oh, there was that in Trans-Pacific Partnership, there was a clause called the Investor State Dispute Settlement that said that if American citizens were to discriminate, is the actual word they use, and say, I don't want to buy Malaysian oil.
00:49:45.000That the then the Malaysian oil companies could sue the government for discrimination against them.
00:49:50.000And then we as taxpayers would have to pay this corporations lawsuit.
00:49:55.000I think I think one of the reasons we saw the economy do so well in 2019 was a combination of Trump's policies.
00:50:00.000He was you know we saw in Michigan the auto factory started coming back because well now the famous line from Michael Moore.
00:50:08.000Michael Moore said, Trump walks into this executive office or whatever with these big wigs and says, I will put a 30% tariff on your vehicles if you make them overseas and no one will ever buy your car again.
00:50:21.000And Michael Moore was like, no one ever said that to these people, to these fat cats who are sending the jobs overseas for dirt wages.
00:50:28.000You got to think about what these companies do.
00:50:30.000They don't want to pay health care benefits.
00:50:34.000You give them a good free trade agreement, and they can hire some people in China for pennies on the dollar with no rights, and then sell that car back to the American people.
00:50:42.000The American people are slowly losing their access and wealth, so the resources of the Americans are being stripped away.
00:50:48.000The only thing that really props all of this up, and this is where it gets more dastardly, Before I start, I'll say, Scott, your response, the things you talk about is a sound, responsible American policy of Americans working hard and earning what they work for.
00:51:06.000It's Joe Biden basically being like, it doesn't matter how much money we print because we'll shoot anybody who tries to trade oil off the dollar.
00:51:13.000So we can print all the money in the world and we don't got to export anything other than killing people, going to other countries, blowing them up.
00:51:32.000So Trump was not perfect in the Middle East, but we weren't seeing the escalation in Syria.
00:51:36.000We were seeing de-escalation across the board, and these peace agreements meant we're less likely to go and blow up people who defy the petrodollar.
00:51:44.000And Trump was like, Americans can work hard and earn their living.
00:51:47.000And then you have the establishment elites going, We have to work?
00:52:14.000Well, since we're talking about oil for a second, why isn't the news talking about the fact that Joe Biden's stopping the Keystone Pipeline?
00:52:23.000That's just putting more money in Putin's pockets by making us less energy independent.
00:52:31.000And nobody's talking about, under President Trump, we went to number one.
00:52:35.000I think we were number one, Saudi Arabia was number two, and Russia was number three, right?
00:52:40.000By not having the Keystone Pipeline, we're making ourselves vulnerable again to Russia having a bigger sphere in geopolitics.
00:52:49.000And not only that, but let's talk about for a second, the Democrats always like to say that they are green, and they care about the environment, and they are the stewards.
00:52:57.000The oil is coming into our country one way or another.
00:53:02.000It's either coming by rail, it's coming by ship, it's coming by automobile, right?
00:53:07.000Which causes more of a carbon footprint?
00:53:10.000Pipeline or any of the other three things I just mentioned.
00:53:14.000And so that shows me they don't actually care and Joe Biden's policy doesn't have anything to do with the green effect whatsoever.
00:54:22.000Why isn't that in the headlines of every paper saying... Yeah, every day.
00:54:26.000If we want to talk about green energy, and I agree, I think if we want to be number one energy exporters, energy production, fusion energy is going to change the world.
00:54:36.000So if we accomplish that, then oil is a thing of the past.
00:54:40.000For now, I believe the best energy return on energy invested is nuclear energy.
00:54:57.000It's about having control strategically around the planet and justifying it.
00:55:00.000So long as everyone's using oil, and they have to use the dollar to exchange it, and we have the weapons and we're positioned, then that's it.
00:55:27.000But it's like they're saying, look, we have the Cutter Turkey pipeline, so the oil's going to spill regardless of if it's coming out of Russia or if it's coming out of Canada.
00:55:36.000But it's like they don't want to spill it on the floor of the ivory tower.
00:55:38.000They don't want to mess up our luscious land.
00:55:41.000They just want to mess up their luscious land.
00:55:43.000And they still want to transport the... get the same dirty crap.
00:55:50.000I mean, I'm not... I don't live on the land.
00:55:52.000I know that people that live on the land that are having a pipeline drove through their yards and getting oil spilled into their crops and stuff are devastated, but...
00:55:59.000Is if we're gonna drill it out of the ground anyway.
00:56:00.000When I talk to people about Keystone, they immediately say, it's not about oil spills. It's about the Native Americans
00:56:20.000I mean, you've got people who have spent all these resources on it.
00:56:23.000I suppose maybe it means move it, or I don't know what the argument really becomes, because Joe Biden's reason for shutting it down, it was what?
00:57:58.000And then I look to these celebrities and they're flying in private jets, they're buying beachfront property.
00:58:02.000And I'm like, so are you really concerned about this?
00:58:05.000Cause you'd be building nuclear power plants if you really cared about this.
00:58:07.000I'm not really concerned about the carbon emissions cause we can recapture it and turn it it into graphene by depositing carbon dioxide onto palladium.
00:58:14.000I mean there's tests and studies like why isn't that also on the like think you gotta think a
00:58:18.000little bit a little bit forward politics they've got a boogeyman they got the money they need to
00:58:22.000sell the oil and they're acting like climate change is important but they gotta sell the oil to
00:58:28.000I think climate change is a big problem and I think these elites
00:58:30.000their mentality is if everyone else sacrifices I won't have to.
00:58:35.000I'm like, sorry, who are you to fly in a private jet and buy beachfront property because you think everyone else is gonna do the heavy lifting and you don't have to?
00:58:42.000Imagine you have a roommate and he's just sitting back like, you guys clean the house, I'm just gonna sit here and eat pizza all night and do whatever I want.
00:58:49.000It's like, nah, we all gotta pitch in, bro.
00:58:51.000You can't be the one complaining about how the house is all messy and then be the one who's sitting in your room playing video games all night, drinking Mountain Dew and eating pizza.
00:58:58.000Everybody's gotta pitch in to clean this place up.
00:59:00.000So when I hear this from them, I don't trust them.
01:01:18.000They're trying to get ignition where they can make the process Yeah, when the deuterium collides and becomes helium, it releases like a leftover form of matter that's extracted as heat, which then can be converted into, well, I guess steam, which could create a laser to continue the reaction.
01:01:35.000And then you're creating more heat than is needed to produce the laser.
01:03:08.000It provides $17 billion for the war effort to bomb things.
01:03:11.000Well, you see, Why are you calling this Save the Puppies?
01:03:14.000Well, we saw a video of a dog in Syria, and we were concerned that the militants there might harm it, so we're gonna save the puppies by bombing Syria and taking their oil.
01:03:23.000Because the dogs could get sick from the oil.
01:03:26.000Yes, and the average American doesn't understand all of the pork that goes into it, and they don't understand The new COVID bill doesn't actually 100% go to our paychecks and to American citizens.
01:03:38.000And then they use that as propaganda to say, oh, see, the Republicans won't vote for this bill.
01:03:45.000Meanwhile, the Republicans understand the poison pill that went into the bill.
01:03:53.000It's by George Orwell about dystopian reality in the year 1984 and he wrote it before the year so it's like a futuristic world war where there's these two giant war powers basically and they're just pure propaganda and you're always at war or you're at peace or you're at war or you're at war with someone else and all you're getting is news media.
01:04:09.000They have this thing called doublespeak and this is basically doublespeak.
01:04:12.000They'll call it the Ministry of Peace and that's where they declare war.
01:04:48.000I will never run for office, but I swear, if I was in Congress, if I was in the Senate or whatever, I'd draft a bill called the, like, the Donald Trump is the worst president act, and it would just do all these awesome things.
01:05:00.000It would be like, you know, get the people the checks they want.
01:05:02.000The peace through violence, this is so implicit in our system, in our video games, in our movies, like, there's a bad guy causing chaos, the hero kills him, and then everyone's happy again.
01:05:13.000And so it's in our brains, like, oh, if you destroy the enemy, there will be peace.
01:05:18.000That's why Wonder Woman was a great movie.
01:05:19.000Do you see Wonder Woman, the first one, Scott?
01:07:08.000And then we have these politicians like Cuomo, and where is the justice for his actions?
01:07:15.000And so I think the average feeling of the American person is they feel so discouraged because they feel like they have no power.
01:07:25.000They can't hold anybody accountable, the people that lead them, the people that represent them.
01:07:31.000And ultimately, the people that they see on TV who lied to them.
01:07:35.000And that's why 2022 is important, because we finally have the opportunity to do a couple things.
01:07:41.000If you're a conservative, or if you want to take over peacefully and democratically, the Republican Party, 2022 is your opportunity to use the primary democratic process to replace these America-less politicians with America-first ones.
01:07:58.000And I'm just encouraging everybody to get involved, that this is your final moment, that if you want to have accountability in the process, then join the voting process.
01:08:10.000Let's talk about the media, because you mentioned they can write whatever they want, and I'm just, I'm absolutely dying to cover this, because I just, it's about me, and you know, love myself.
01:08:43.000I don't care about the royal family or Meghan Markle or whatever it is they're doing, but apparently there was something about the baby, and then people were complaining about the queen or something, so then I jokingly put impeach Queen Elizabeth.
01:11:07.000I'm going to reveal a very dark secret, my friend.
01:11:11.000I wasn't gonna say anything about this, but because I've accomplished my goal already, I think it's now fair that I can reveal my experiment.
01:11:20.000I've been saying for a long time I hate Twitter and I don't want to use it, right?
01:11:24.000And then I thought, but you know, I got 810,000 followers and like there are people who follow me.
01:12:34.000And so I had this idea, if I spend a certain amount of time tweeting things that are absolutely counter to my actual personality, say on this show, because I don't care about Twitter anyway, I'll tweet things like, Biden is great, party hat celebration.
01:12:46.000I tweeted, when they announced Joe Biden was going to give a speech, I was like, I am so excited.
01:12:50.000I have been in anxiety waiting for this speech to happen.
01:13:45.000And then it's a reflection of the tribal individual.
01:13:47.000So if, you know, when he says, we don't deserve Donald Trump, that's like the easiest explanation because you don't know if it's for or against Trump.
01:13:53.000And then people who assume he's on the right will say, you love Trump.
01:13:57.000People on the left will be like, you're right.
01:14:44.000M-E-A-W-W is a NewsGuard certified site.
01:14:47.000I don't know if it's considered reliable by Wikipedia.
01:14:50.000Someone could now add to my Wikipedia, Tim Pool called for impeaching the Queen.
01:14:54.000I can then publicly state to millions of people on my show, I was screwing with the media because I thought it was funny, and they can't add my explanation to Wikipedia.
01:15:05.000Because statements from me don't count.
01:15:07.000But a journalist claiming I said something does.
01:15:11.000I figure, if I carry on with this anti-tweet campaign, eventually we'll get to a point where I can easily prove the paradox, because my Wikipedia page should end up being garbled, nonsensical gibberish.
01:15:22.000Like Tim Pool, a pro-Democrat Biden donor, who regularly cheers for Donald Trump on YouTube or whatever, and is just like, make it nonsensical.
01:17:39.000I don't care about what these journalists say about me.
01:17:42.000I mean, there was a period maybe where I was like, I was worried that they were going to try and cause damage to my person, my business, my property.
01:17:48.000And now I'm just like, I really don't care.
01:17:50.000Part of it's because when you have the microphone in a TV show of your own, it doesn't really matter what other people say, because people are coming to you directly for the source.
01:17:57.000So you can always talk about how that's how Rogan's navigated it throughout the years.
01:18:02.000Well, I'll clarify too, like, deliberate attempts to destroy my business, and defame, and slander, and those things, absolutely I will reject, resist, and if I have to, file court cases, right?
01:18:13.000I'm just saying, like, when they say insane things about me, like, that are opinions, Tim Pool is right-wing, and, you know, whatever, and we don't like him, and he's an idiot, I'm like, okay, I don't care if you insult me, I don't care if you don't like my opinions, you can say nasty things about me, fine, whatever, but I can break the system, you know what I mean?
01:18:29.000I guess you just have to not care about Twitter, and I just really don't.
01:18:33.000Internet in general and, like, the way people feel about you is really, you know... As long as you have access to communicate with people, that's the key.
01:18:41.000I think when your rights are threatened and you're threatened with prison and, like, being removed from society, that's very dangerous.
01:18:47.000But as long as you're a free citizen, like... I used to tweet my work.
01:18:52.000I used to tweet links to YouTube videos.
01:18:54.000I used to be like, here's my latest video, and I realized it didn't do anything for me.
01:18:57.000It just resulted in haters hating on me, tweeting garbage.
01:19:01.000So I just thought, why am I bothering with this website?
01:22:36.000Matt Taibbi, formerly of Rolling Stone, Glenn Greenwald, founder, formerly of The Intercept.
01:22:40.000They started something called a sub-stack.
01:22:42.000Were they right now, on their own, with no boss telling them what they can or can't say, and people pay directly.
01:22:49.000I am a proud paying subscriber to both Glenn and Matt because I think they do amazing jobs.
01:22:53.000I've been critical of Glenn Greenwald in the past.
01:22:55.000I do not think he's perfect, but I respect him for being consistent, for talking about what he believes, for writing these stories, and it was a tremendous sign of integrity when he walked from The Intercept, his own company, because they were trying to suppress negative information on the Bidens.
01:23:15.000I think this is the Democrat party on full display, right?
01:23:19.000You want to keep a problem around without actually solving it so you can point at the problem and say, hey, we need more money or more of this in order to solve this, but they never do.
01:23:32.000And now that President Trump is gone, well, the Trump slump is here.
01:26:14.000There's even a video after he left office recently, in the past couple weeks, where he, like, walks up to some lady and he hands her a $50 bill and he, like, smiles and she's like, oh my, thank you.
01:29:22.000That's what I hate about the whole thing.
01:29:23.000And the lies were so intense, it was just an endless spree of, like, let me defend Trump again, I guess.
01:29:28.000Because they just want you to live in this fake reality where the orange man is the villain.
01:29:32.000Yeah, there's a lot of things wrong with Trump, but they just really, really loved to hate the man.
01:29:36.000I wonder if they're going to villainize Biden with this Me Too stuff.
01:29:39.000If they're like using this on Cuomo, they're going to wait a little while, see if Biden screws it up, and then hit him and put Kamala in office.
01:29:46.000You think so, Scott? They'll only do it to throw him under the bus when they no longer need him.
01:29:52.000And yes, they, I mean, look at what they're doing to Cuomo.
01:29:54.000Yeah. But everybody loves a good villain.
01:29:56.000Look, at the end of the day, good, heartwarming, wonderful stories don't sell. You know,
01:30:03.000look at the way the Republican Party, you know, treats AOC.
01:30:08.000And now look at the way the left is responding to people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, to Madison Cawthorn, to Lauren Boebert, I believe is how you pronounce her name, out of Colorado.
01:30:20.000Those are the new AOCs of the right that they are demonizing and that they are villainizing.
01:31:07.000You know, but he's a young guy, so, you know, whatever, man.
01:31:10.000We'll see what he ends up doing, and if he acts a fool, then I'll criticize him the same as I would for anybody else.
01:31:17.000But, dude, I really do try to find stories where I can be like, I like Rashida Tlaib and AOC for these things, because I don't like that I only ever see the worst in them.
01:33:09.000I actually feel a heavy weight on my shoulders.
01:33:13.000And because I've been gifted With this large social media platform.
01:33:18.000That's the reason why I work nonstop and why I actually feel guilty taking days off because I feel like number one, who else is going to do it?
01:33:25.000And I challenge you at home, please do it.
01:33:29.000I don't, I don't want all of this on my shoulders.
01:33:33.000And that's why I consistently work and I'm going towards 2022 because I feel like I have this moral responsibility to use my platform for good.
01:33:45.000I want it to be about political points.
01:33:48.000I want everyone out there to know that you will make your political faction look good when you go clean up your city, clean up trash, raise money to help poor people, raise money to feed those that are hungry and provide shelter to the homeless.
01:33:59.000I want each and every person, AOC I believe deserves tremendous respect for all of everything that she did in helping these people and raising this money.
01:34:06.000And now I challenge Republicans to High five her and say, we're going to win the competition next time because we're going to help even more people than you helped.
01:35:46.000Why don't we do the same and at least force the governors who are Democratic to veto that legislation, which would have political leverage repercussions going to the 2022 elections?
01:35:57.000And should we Elect Republicans in those states, then let's fortify the elections going into 2024 into the presidential.
01:36:08.000So basically, I'm just saying, look, you guys at home, you have the power, but it's up to you if you choose to harness that power.
01:36:15.000And if you are not talking to your legislators, writing them, emailing them, calling them, then quite frankly, you don't really care.
01:36:28.000Well, I did just read Donald Trump Jr.' 's tweet where he was alerting us about SF-145, which is legislation in Wyoming that's currently introduced at the Senate committee level, which would allow for primaries that don't have a clear 50-plus-1 winner.
01:37:08.000And so I did send out an emergency email to my contacts in Wyoming.
01:37:13.000And look at what's happening in Georgia, for example.
01:37:15.000State Senate passed legislation that would allow for voter ID for absentee voting.
01:37:21.000So if people care, you need to call and get involved, especially with subcommittees where bills go to die.
01:37:27.000And so two important websites that I'm asking people to go to are legiscan.com to find legislation that's being introduced at the state level, and also ballotpedia.org to find more information about districts that you live in.
01:37:52.000We have a new shirt where it's the I'm a Gorilla, but he's wearing a suit, holding wads of cash, and he's smoking while wearing sunglasses.
01:37:59.000I don't know if the smoking thing is going to get us in trouble or something.
01:41:42.000Having access to that grass is like really, really amazing.
01:41:46.000We have yards in Chicago, but they're tiny, tiny, tiny yards.
01:41:48.000Were you in a house or in an apartment?
01:41:49.000Yeah, so it's all houses next to each other.
01:41:52.000These autonomous zones, it wouldn't happen in a suburb or rural town.
01:41:57.000The only reason why it's happening is because it has the majority support of the people that live there.
01:42:03.000And because it's a democratic city, you have the support of the politicians that are there, and the police are forced Because of social justice and because of the media to go along with the will of the people and the politicians.
01:42:19.000So that's the only reason why these autonomous zones are happening in Seattle, Washington and Minneapolis, Minnesota, because of those things being in place.
01:42:45.000Commander232 says, well, Scott, I don't know your opinion on Armstrong from here in North Dakota, but I myself decided to run against him as he does nothing but sit quietly in the corner.
01:44:00.000This is the scariest thing about what's happening, is that in, like, Berkeley, people put the signs in their window.
01:44:05.000And some of them even say, please don't hurt us.
01:44:08.000When Michael Tracy traveled on the country after the BLM riots, tons of businesses had signs saying things like, please, please, we're a minority-owned business, don't hurt us, please don't hurt our family.
01:44:19.000I think some of these businesses don't agree with BLM, but they simply are putting those up in their window for that sole purpose that they won't be attacked, they won't be burned to the ground.
01:44:33.000I heard of people putting things up in their window was the Juden in the Nazi Germany, where they would make people put a Star of David on their door if they were Jewish.
01:44:42.000That was different, but did they also put the swastika on their door if they supported the party?
01:44:46.000What's happening now is that people are scared Antifa will burn down their businesses, or Black Lives Matter writers will, so they put messages of support on the property, hoping it will protect them.
01:44:55.000It'll work for a small business, but it won't work for a corporation.
01:44:58.000Whole Foods did it, and they smashed out Whole Foods anyway.
01:45:01.000But the smaller businesses, it's a sign of, like, fealty, essentially.
01:45:06.000You're bending the knee as a coward, begging these violent psychopaths, you know, begging them, please, I'm so weak and pathetic that if I just agree with whatever you say, you'll leave me alone.
01:45:16.000And they eventually just come and take everything and burn it down anyway, so.
01:45:20.000These people who think putting the sign in their window and then dropping to their knees and keeping their head down will keep them safe are just wrong.
01:46:17.000The joke I made before was that, like, we have a door downstairs, and I said, you have this ivory tower that the left and the right populists are trying to break into to get to the establishment political positions.
01:46:26.000And Trump was just like a bull slamming into the door, and Bernie was politely knocking.
01:46:31.000Well, they opened the door for Bernie, and then Bernie's got all these left populists behind him, and he goes, thank you for letting me in.
01:50:09.000Now I'm not giving any financial advice.
01:50:11.000I don't know what's gonna happen with GameStop.
01:50:12.000I can tell you that we have made an exclusive Diamond Hands Gorilla t-shirt over at TimCast.com and then click that shop button and you will see it and it is a suit wearing gorilla.
01:51:27.000The problem I have with it was when you have a bunch of lefties go out and protest white nationalism when the people who were in this specific case, the guy who attacked the Asian guy was a black dude.
01:51:37.000I think stop attacking people based on race.
01:51:40.000Instead, the left, these leftist activists have found a way to turn an issue of ending racism into legit being racist, I guess, and not caring about what actually is going on in this country.
01:52:34.000Think about how many carbon emissions are made by a private jet, how many People have to not fly in order for you to keep using your private jet.
01:54:05.000I'm not a climatologist and I usually only defer to experts.
01:54:08.000So that's why the show's fairly milquetoast, I guess, because I don't come out and say I know better than academic literature for the most part.
01:54:17.000That tends to be the case, and a lot of people don't like it, especially on the left, when they try and claim things like, biological sex doesn't exist.
01:54:23.000I'm like, I'm sorry dude, I just, like, the academic literature says one thing, and I'm not the scientist, so I'm just gonna go by... They try and make all these, you know, it's sophistry, often, when they make their arguments.
01:54:33.000You need to do better and just go around telling people how dare you.
01:55:05.000Jav Tondes says Chernobyl, Fukushima, and Three Mile Island sound like a few small examples, but the issue is that the damage nuclear leaks caused and continue to cause is disproportionate when compared to oil spills.
01:55:15.000Disproportionate in terms of, like, not that much?
01:55:18.000How many people have died from nuclear disasters?
01:55:21.000It's, it's tough to, it's tough to measure because the corium is radioactive.
01:55:25.000So when it melts and melts through the ground of the nuclear plant into the earth and sits there and radiates the earth or into the ocean, which is where all that Fukushima stuff went, radiates the plants and the fish, it could cause long lasting impacts.
01:55:38.000And it's tough to get rid of the corium because it's in a constant state of meltdown.
01:56:23.000Brandon Tom says, talking about your anti-tweeting, do you see the parallels between your tweeting garbled nonsense of left talking points and the grievance studies?
01:57:33.000America First candidates only for 2022 and beyond.
01:57:36.000How would you define an America First candidate?
01:57:40.000The philosophy of every piece of legislation and every bill that you vote on should be Under the question, does this benefit the American people or does it not?
01:57:54.000So I mean, if you have the ability to have a budget bill and money is going to Iran, money is going to Honduras, Guatemala, the rest of the world, and we're not spending that money on infrastructure, I'd say downvote.
01:58:10.000Don't vote for the budget bill that's aiding the rest of the world and not America.
01:59:06.000Charlie N. Charge says, it makes total sense that Joe Biden is president and all these major cities keep voting blue and support these rioters.
01:59:13.000People are the only species on the planet that gets dumber in large numbers.
01:59:17.000I think a lot of animals get dumb in large numbers, but it's an issue of manipulation.
01:59:23.000I think taking advantage of someone makes you the bad guy, not the person who's being taken advantage of.
02:02:14.000It's in smoke detectors, and then he put massive amounts, and he put it in, like, this bucket or something, and then drilled a hole in it so it was blasting neutrons or something.
02:02:50.000It's the corium that's dangerous, not the radiation itself.
02:02:54.000Once it's, once the, the piece of corium that's radiating is taken away, there's no long, there's no leftover danger for the most part that I can tell, it seems like.
02:03:05.000So you just got to somehow recover the spent fuel.
02:03:51.000I don't like having people work and then not get something for it, so it'll always be paid.
02:03:55.000But, uh, we'll, we'll, when we get to that point, the website is, uh, getting close.
02:04:00.000There will be a, like, you know, blog function where people can write articles and stuff like that, and, uh, we're getting there, so we'll, we'll see how things play out.
02:04:08.000But, uh, everybody, thanks for hanging out.
02:04:10.000If you haven't already, smash that like button.
02:04:12.000We will have the members-only exclusive segment coming up in about an hour over at TimCast.com.
02:04:17.000Also go to TimCast.com, click shop, get that Diamond Hands Gorilla t-shirt, if you haven't already.
02:04:22.000This one will probably stick around, I don't think, this one will be a limited, this one might be a limited edition, because we might take it down at some point, because GameStop is only, like, in the new cycle for a certain amount of time.
02:04:32.000We do have a couple limited limited edition gorilla shirts that are going to be coming up and other art too, because not just going to be an endless stream of gorilla t-shirts.
02:04:39.000But anyway, we do the show live Monday through Friday at 8pm.
