The FBI has arrested Brandon Strzok, founder of the "Take a Cop Out" campaign, for his involvement in the Capitol riots. We talk about how crazy things are getting, and why we should be worried. We also talk about the articles of impeachment that have been delivered to the Senate, and the possibility of a trial. And we finally got the "I Am A Gorilla" shirts back up on the website.
00:00:28.000the FBI has arrested Brandon Strzok founder of the walkaway campaign for his
00:00:35.000involvement in the Capitol riots And they're alleging some pretty serious stuff, like he was telling people to do things, like go inside or take a cop's shield.
00:00:43.000And there's even a tweet, I remember seeing myself, where Brandon said, he told, he tweeted that patriots of the Capitol hold the, hold period, the period line.
00:01:42.000So, you know, there's already, with Democrat control of the House, and now essential control of the Senate, I wouldn't be surprised if they played that same game.
00:01:50.000Now, in less important news, the articles of impeachment have been delivered to the Senate, and there's going to be a trial, and it's kind of funny that we've actually have this one slated for later, like it's not our lead story, because, well, it's just, you know, I gotta be honest, it's kind of silly.
00:02:03.000But, and we have another big story, too.
00:02:40.000Well, we shouldn't go into too much detail about exactly what we were doing, but we had a lot of fun here.
00:02:46.000We finally got the shirts back up personally that were banned that I was wearing on this show that were banned during the show.
00:02:53.000They're back up on the bestpoliticalshirts.com and yeah, I mean it was a great weekend.
00:02:58.000We finally got the store back up and we're doing great and yeah.
00:03:03.000Finally got the I am a gorilla t-shirt approved by YouTube.
00:03:06.000So now it's pinned and official and I haven't followed up yet.
00:03:11.000I know Teespring's trying to been trying to get a hold of me But I'm seeing a lot of people if those aren't familiar a lot of people are posting photos of the misprinted I am a gorilla shirts where his hands are white and his face is darkened and Okay.
00:03:22.000Well, I got Teespring assured me that won't happen again So I guess we should be good if you want to buy the I am a gorilla t-shirt, it should be normal this time So hopefully we got Ian chillin.
00:03:32.000He's wearing glasses What up, everybody?

00:06:22.000And Luke being like, oh, what's going on?
00:07:29.000They say Brandon Strzok, 44, was arrested Monday by agents from the FBI Omaha field office.
00:07:34.000Strzok faces charges of impeding a law enforcement officer during civil disorder, knowingly entering and remaining on restricted grounds without lawful authority, and or engaging in disorderly conduct within proximity to a restricted building to impede official functions, and engaging in disorderly conduct with intent to disturb a hearing before Congress.
00:07:54.000Court documents show that officials were tipped off about Strzok posting a video near the Capitol entrance shouting, Go!
00:08:01.000The video was later removed, and officials said they could not find any video or posts on his Twitter page relating to his actions at the Capitol.
00:08:07.000However, the FBI was sent multiple screenshots.
00:08:10.000These screenshots reportedly revealed that Strzok made the following comments on Twitter, saying, Quote, Patriots at the Capitol, hold the line.
00:08:19.000Quote, I arrived at the Capitol a few hours ago as Patriots were storming from all sides.
00:08:23.000I was quite close to entering myself as police began tear gassing us from the door.
00:08:27.000I inhaled tear gas and got in my eyes.
00:08:29.000Patriots began exiting shortly after saying Congress had been cleared.
00:10:39.000That shaman who believed he was an alien, he was definitely a threat to national security and he became very close to being Speaker of the House.
00:11:35.000Well, we also have to understand we're in a political climate where it seems like the FBI has been absolutely activated.
00:11:42.000Previously before when it when it came to other issues the FBI is kind of sitting around but now I mean they're putting up bulletin boards.
00:11:53.000It looks like they finally you know got off of their buttockses and started being extremely proactive and very efficient at their job when previously with other cases like the Epstein case they kind of didn't Well, and not just that case.
00:12:39.000I'm just telling you, though, when they tell you it's mostly peaceful with the burning background, with the building on fire, it might not actually be mostly peaceful.
00:13:15.000But look, look, I know you guys want to rag on the FBI and all that, but I gotta point out the family thing, because you brought up that story of the kid and his dad, right?
00:13:22.000Let me tell you how insane and despicable things are getting.
00:13:24.000We have this story from the New York Times.
00:13:26.000Son tipped off FBI about his father, who is charged in Capitol Riot.
00:13:30.000He says, I put my emotions behind me to do what I thought was right.
00:13:34.000And you know what he thought was right?
00:13:36.000On his Twitter account, his official link, you know on Twitter, you edit your profile and you can put a link?
00:14:11.000This guy reported his dad weeks ago, because his dad was saying he was going to do something big.
00:14:15.000And I'm like, look, if your dad or your family member was Antifo, and they were talking about doing something big, especially when you have stories of all these riots going on, and you turn to men, I get it.
00:14:29.000But then if you come out publicly and you're like, I'd like to do an interview with, with CNN and the New York times and then publish a GoFundMe to make hundreds of thousands of dollars.
00:14:38.000Well, you brought up a very important point, because it could have been a scenario where there was a present danger, and at that time, you know, we don't know the interpersonal relationship, we don't know if there was abuse, we don't know any of this stuff, but at the same time, one thing we have to note here, the mainstream media, especially CNN, they're taking this case and they're running with it.
00:14:57.000They're running, you know, until the cows come home, essentially exploiting this and loving it.
00:15:04.000And they're running with it as a headline story, and this is where he even wrote in his own description, he's like, I'm getting so much support after my CNN interview, I might not have a home to live in, but it seems like he's getting some support from some people.
00:15:19.000That's the most dysfunctional incentive structure though, you're setting up with these like resist bucks.
00:15:24.000I mean, this is what they did with Claudia Conway.
00:15:26.000That she was willing to drag her dad, her mom rather, on Twitter for working for the president.
00:15:31.000And so like the New York Times had a glowing profile of her and they started constantly sharing her and promoting her and turning her into a TikTok star.
00:15:38.000And it's like, I don't think we should be incentivizing with money young people to do this kind of thing and sell out their family.
00:15:45.000Unless you're a commie and you want the culture evolution.
00:15:47.000Then you're cheering and jumping up and down and clapping for it.
00:15:50.000But wait, I thought they didn't believe in incentivizing people with money.
00:15:54.000I said, you know, that's that's what I was saying earlier that it's a lot of people claim to be socialists or leftists, but when it comes down to it, they're the worst version of capitalists.
00:16:03.000Everything they complain about capitalism, like the raw exploitation for money.
00:16:06.000I'm like, what do you think it is you're doing when you literally sell your dad to the state for money?
00:19:36.000Like we're talking about people donating money and receiving money like these politicians that are getting hundreds of thousands of dollars from corporations.
00:19:43.000We don't sit here and talk and complain about each of those.
00:19:46.000But it's probably way worse than a kid going on GoFundMe and taking like a... What I'm saying is this kid's probably gonna like buy a car.
00:19:53.000And then just like go drive around and do nothing with it.
00:19:56.000But the people who have the money in the first place are gonna be like promoting fringe political causes and stuff.
00:20:01.000So it's like, you know, I guess he takes the money and he just like, you know, goes to school with it, I guess.
00:20:51.000And as you said, you can only imagine if, you know, your dad says eat your vegetables, your kid's gonna look back at them like, I could call the FBI on you.
00:21:01.000The Nazis and the communists, the Russian communists, Soviets, would be like, Turn them in, do the right thing, or maybe through threat of force.
00:21:10.000And now they're doing it through bribery.
00:21:42.000I think, because what people don't realize, I've heard this story a lot, when people get an internet windfall and they think the money is free and they don't pay taxes on it.
00:21:50.000And the IRS comes a-knockin', and they end up owing the IRS a ton of money.
00:21:53.000So this dude, who's getting all of this money for college, could be argued that by putting that- So, uh, I'm not a tax lawyer, but, you know, what I've been advised is, if you wanna give someone a gift, then there can be no consideration.
00:22:06.000Consideration being a contractual term, a legal term.
00:22:09.000So if I said, like, here you are, Luke, one gorilla, for free, and you can do whatever you want with it.
00:22:21.000You could argue that paying someone's medical bills or college could constitute a gift.
00:22:25.000But we saw this, I don't know if you guys remember when Occupy organized that big debt payoff?
00:22:29.000Where they were like, buying people's medical debt?
00:22:32.000People were getting tax bills because of it.
00:22:34.000Because paying off someone's debt is giving them money, and then depending on what the money was for, if there was consideration involved, like, I'm gonna give you money but it can only be used for this, then the person has to pay taxes on it.
00:25:08.000A lot of the paycheck protection program which was supposed to help small businesses went to big corporations.
00:25:15.000This happens all the time with government.
00:25:16.000This is why the swamp is actually one of the truest things Trump ever said.
00:25:19.000In Washington, even the progressive legislators get called by all the big companies every day and get tons of money from them and make sure that the big bill doesn't hurt their bottom line.
00:25:29.000Well, there's a study where they say something like, public opinion has zero impact on public policy, and the opinions of major corporations and the wealthy impacts almost exclusively.
00:25:52.000It's, you know, AOC goes on Twitter and she starts ranting about the Republicans and, like, how they're evil and stuff like that, and then she gets more and more followers and they just- People love to hate.
00:26:02.000They want to feel their anger is justified.
00:26:04.000Well, that's the impulse that gathers your attention the most.
00:26:08.000So, there have been many clinical studies, and if you could make someone fearful and scared, those are the incentives to make people click more than anything else out there in the internet.
00:26:17.000And a lot of these news companies, a lot of these big tech companies know this, and they need to keep people on their platforms.
00:26:23.000They need to keep people engaged as much as they can.
00:26:35.000emotional systems are hyperbotically just going insane after being induced into so much of this
00:26:40.000kind of casino gamified informational warfare that's blasted in your face. Well let's let's
00:26:45.000jump into the next story then because this is perfect. We have this from globalnews.ca.
00:26:49.000MPs unanimously agree to urge feds to designate Proud Boys a terrorist entity.
00:26:57.000So I see a lot of tweets from people saying, like, Canada just declared the Proud Boys were terrorists.
00:27:01.000Well, politically, the MPs kind of did, but there's been no official declaration from their federal government.
00:27:06.000They say, members of Canada's parliament have agreed to call on the federal liberal government to formally designate the Proud Boys a terrorist entity.
00:27:14.000The motion, introduced by NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, passed with unanimous consent in the House of Comments on Monday.
00:27:21.000The motion calls upon the government to use all available tools to address the proliferation of white supremacists and hate groups, starting with the immediate designating the Proud Boys as a terrorist entity.
00:27:33.000The NDP has for weeks been calling on Trudeau and the liberals to ban the Proud Boys and designate the group a terrorist organization.
00:27:41.000The move comes after thousands of supporters of President Trump urged, you know, storm the Capitol.
00:27:55.000And Enrique Tarrio was supposed to be there, but he got arrested and they kicked him out of D.C.
00:28:00.000The federal government said it is considering designating the group as a terrorist entity.
00:28:04.000As Minister Blair has said, we strongly denounce ideologically motivated extremists, including groups like the Proud Boys, white supremacists, anti-semitics, Islamophobic, and misogynist groups.
00:28:14.000Mary Liz Power, a spokesperson for Public Safety Minister Bill Blair, told the Global News earlier this month, Think about what this means.
00:28:24.000How often do we see the Proud Boys go around and actually smash things up and destroy things and cause violence?
00:28:50.000I mean, I know in Canada, this is Canada we're talking about with the Proud Boys, but let's just talk about Antifa in general, because Antifa operates in Canada.
00:28:57.000I mean, they're in the Pacific Northwest, so they go up and down all the time.
00:28:59.000Do the Proud Boys even operate in Canada?
00:29:02.000I don't even know if they have a branch there personally, to be honest with you.
00:29:06.000They're trying to claim... Like, what did they do in Canada?
00:29:24.000The left knows this, they don't care, and you saying something does literally nothing because they're not going to stop.
00:29:29.000Now they're at the point where they've redefined white supremacy.
00:29:32.000White supremacy is totally redefined in media, and now, because they've redefined it, they can now claim the Proud Boys are white supremacists, even though their chair is literally not white.
00:29:41.000For what I understand about the Proud Boys, there's a lot of things not to like about the group, but racism and white supremacy is not one of them.
00:29:48.000But the real concern, too, is that when they're designating things terrorist groups, that's a precursor to infringing civil liberties.
00:29:54.000That's a justification for surveillance, for limiting speech.
00:29:58.000And that is something you gotta watch against, because that's how authoritarianism creeps in.
00:30:02.000They've actually started to do something similar in the U.S.
00:30:23.000They need to magnify the threat to, of course, get what they want.
00:30:28.000And that's more power, more authority for them.
00:30:31.000And, you know, if the Proud Boys did commit terrorism, if there was a terrorist attack done by the Proud Boys, yeah, label them a terrorist organization.
00:30:38.000Can you even tell me an act or a single day where the Proud Boys did anything in Canada that justifies this?
00:30:44.000Well, not so much Canada, but there was that one time where that guy was walking out the street and he got shot.
00:30:50.000Oh wait, that was Antifa who shot and killed the Trump supporter.
00:31:07.000But no, to be realistic, there was, in New York, when Antifa showed up to the Gavin McGinnis speech, and then the Proud Boys ran at Antifa, beat the crap out of them, and then started laughing about it and streaming it, and they went to prison for it.
00:31:18.000So, even when they actually do, you know, the Proud Boys argue they didn't start the fight because Antifa was surrounding and harassing, and Antifa did rob a guy who was leaving the event.
00:31:28.000Still, if you're not, like, don't swing.
00:31:32.000And if they start a fight, well then, I understand defending yourself and ending that fight, but you don't want to be the person starting the fight.
00:35:43.000That is... It's definitely illegal, but also it's like...
00:35:46.000The opposite of American values, right?
00:35:48.000We want, or at least we used to want, equality under the law, and now they're like, actually, we want inequality under the law, but woke.
00:35:55.000This spying thing reminds me of Captain America Winter Soldier, where the bad guys, Hydra, develop an algorithm where they can target people who are basically deviant, and then their plan is to just kill them all with these airships.
00:36:20.000So first, considering the power of their AI, I think the average person could just be like, yeah, I'd imagine their algorithms and artificial intelligence are strong enough to determine and make these predictions.
00:37:47.000No, no, but like, if someone told you they went and ate a bunch of garbage fast food, you would immediately assume, like, your stomach's gonna be screaming at you.
00:37:55.000Think about what an AI can discern based on all of these other things.
00:37:59.000I'd imagine the CIA knows what you will do before you do it.
00:38:47.000It depends on how much the government uses that power to overreach.
00:38:51.000But ultimately, look, if you're a criminal, and you're at home, and you say something about what you did, and it's used as evidence, then you're a dumb criminal.
00:39:01.000There was actually a story where there was a murder, I guess, and someone had one of those fancy little Amazon devices, and it recorded everything that happened.
00:39:30.000This has been happening for a very long time, even before Edward Snowden.
00:39:34.000I remember walking up to the head of the NSA and the CIA, General Hayden, and I asked him, hey, your NSA agents were caught spanking it to people's private photos through their text messages before Snowden.
00:41:20.000But we got to understand the larger implications here, because we have a president, Joe Biden, who bragged.
00:41:26.000He openly bragged in 2001 about how he wrote the Patriot Act In 1994 and how it was right wingers and libertarians ... who fought against it I started my video off started ... with him saying look what I did I did this I created the ... Patriot Act now we're passing it through after 9-11 now ... they're talking about working on you Patriot Act 2.0 that ... many prominent Democrats are bringing forward that will ... give them even more surveillance power than they ... already have already NSA agents were caught spanking it.
00:41:56.000To your private text messages and your private photos.
00:42:56.000So, there's like a video of like ISIS guys in a truck, and the truck says like, you know, Jim Bob's Plumbing, Detroit, with a phone number, and people are like, what?
00:43:08.000We were also talking about getting a .50 cal, and I was actually looking at the history of the Beretta .50 cal, and it became prominent because the CIA bought it and were literally giving it to Al-Qaeda to fight the Russians.
00:43:27.000No, no, we're talking about the... Like anti-material, anti-tank guns.
00:43:31.000I'm reading a little bit about spy satellites.
00:43:35.000There's been some great leap forward in the... Great leap forward?
00:43:37.000Was that a... That was a Communist Mao thing.
00:43:39.000So there's been some great leaps forward in spy satellite tech.
00:43:43.000They have this thing called the Capella 2, which can use radio beams to pulse through your building and measure energy inside the building.
00:43:51.000They say that you can't actually record people inside their building yet.
00:43:55.000I don't think they'll do all that to sell an ad.
00:43:56.000your smoke bombs outside and been like, oh, so they heard you on the Amazon machine.
00:44:01.000Your phone was triangulating that you were at the Airsoft store and then radio telescopes
00:44:36.000I wonder what the feds and the CIA can do.
00:44:38.000It's like, dude, they don't have to do much.
00:44:39.000You're walking around with a microphone and a camera and a tracking device all day.
00:44:44.000They coordinate with Facebook, with Amazon and with like, you know, Boston Dynamics and other Capella, these companies, you know, companies to get all the techs to work together.
00:44:54.000I'll tell ya, no one's going to care until people- like, as long as people are fat, they're happy.
00:45:06.000Like, you might get, for whatever reason, these people storming the Capitol THINKING there's a revolution going on, but...
00:45:11.000Like, I think what we've seen in many instances, for the most part, people have to be in real dire straits where they feel desperate and nothing can solve this problem.
00:45:21.000But as long as people are being fed, they'll sit around and just eat, you know what I mean?
00:45:33.000It's never the well-off and well-connected who have to worry about the government infringing on their rights or screwing them over.
00:45:38.000No, it's going to be the little guy and it might be too late at that point.
00:45:42.000I mean, actually, I disagree a little bit.
00:45:45.000If you're in the club, you're in the club, but there are probably some people who will gain upward mobility and that's when you're in trouble.
00:46:03.000What I do see is they're gonna be keeping a hard eye on anybody who might gain too much power and threaten their club and their, you know, the upper elites and all that stuff.
00:47:06.000And then, of course, he faced, you know, the prosecution for whistleblowing and revealing that the government was spying on every little thing he was doing.
00:47:15.000This was way before Snowden, these revelations.
00:47:17.000He was like, I was telling you they could do this, but he didn't have the hard documents.
00:47:22.000He's been saying this behind every phone call, they know exactly what you're doing, all the time.
00:47:25.000He went through the official chain of command and whistleblowed officially, and they still went after him.
00:47:51.000They're probably doing more than that.
00:47:52.000They're probably watching you to create blackmail files on everybody that's going to end up working for the government so they can shake you down.
00:47:59.000And right now there's like an NSA guy and FBI and a CIA guy and they're all watching this podcast with like popcorn going, like, yeah, it's totally right about China.
00:49:21.000You can't stop where the avalanche is going, but you can throw down your board and just cruise while you can.
00:49:25.000And there's this thought that maybe we can stop the avalanche or redirect The avalanche?
00:49:30.000No, because if anyone becomes a threat to derailing the narrative, derailing the agenda that's set for you, the NSA, the FBI, with their predictive programming algorithms, with their pre-crime technology, could figure that out.
00:49:45.000They could say, oh, he's growing in popularity, he's getting a lot of followers, he's reaching a big mass of people.
00:49:50.000We need to intervene because he's heading towards a trajectory towards actually making some substantial changes in our government.
00:50:15.000So what we're just talking about is that if you're starting to become too influential, too powerful, they'll come after you, try and take you down.
00:50:21.000If what you're saying goes against the established narrative, they will try and stop you.
00:50:25.000Ben Shapiro is fairly mainstream conservative, so he's not that threatening.
00:50:29.000But there are many people, and they've been banned.
00:50:44.000Yahoo says, More than 100 Politico staffers signed onto a letter to publisher Robert L. Britton, expressing disgust with allowing right-wing firebrand Ben Shapiro to guest author one day's edition of the playbook, and with the outlet's subsequent handling of the fallout.
00:51:00.000Earlier this month, the Beltway News Outlet handed over the keys to its signature news product to Shapiro, a talk radio host and pundit who has long been one of the most controversial voices in right-wing media.
00:51:53.000I mean, these people have come to see ostensibly neutral outlets.
00:51:57.000Like, Politico is not supposed to be a left-wing thing.
00:51:59.000It's not supposed to be Jacobin, right?
00:52:00.000As their zones, where even just a momentary, one-day intervention of a conservative voice violates their safe space, makes them feel betrayed by the institution they work for.
00:52:10.000That is diagnostic of a sick mentality.
00:52:13.000According to multiple Politico insiders familiar with the situation, the letter to Albritton criticized the decision to publish Shapiro, claiming it had demoralized a substantial portion of the newsroom, but also railed against the response to criticism offered by editor-in-chief Matt Kaminsky.
00:52:28.000It's an internal matter and will be handled as such, a political spokesperson told the Daily Beast.
00:52:33.000During a combative meeting on January 14th, the day of Shapiro's publication, the top editor defended the editorial decision to irate staffers by claiming, We were an upstart.
00:52:45.000Some of that sensibility is always going to be a part of this publication.
00:52:48.000The staff letter sent last week to Albritton maintained that Kaminsky had not appropriately apologized for his responses.
00:52:55.000Additionally, referencing an email he sent to staff on January 15th, which was obtained and reviewed by the Daily Beast, the top editor expressed regret for his initial response about making mischief.
00:53:05.000But reiterated that publishing Shapiro was part of his hopes to experiment and mix things up.
00:53:12.000Because I'm sure there were a lot of new conservatives who came to Politico and liked what they were seeing, and there were probably some moderates who heard an opinion they hadn't heard before.
00:53:19.000But let me tell you why this is all BS.
00:53:36.000I was all, all of these leftists screaming in news media, by the way, about how awful it was that they dared publish this in the New York Times.
00:53:44.000Send in the troops, Tom Cotton said, to end the riots in Portland.
00:53:49.000And then they sent in 25,000 troops to Washington, D.C.
00:54:14.000It's, it's, it's, it's a remarkable in a civilian town in a city.
00:54:17.000I know it's federal jurisdiction reported.
00:54:20.000I should say Ken Cuccinelli said she requested this of them.
00:54:23.000Could you imagine what would happen if a bunch of unarmed Trump supporters, well, some of them were armed, but a large group of angry Trump supporters were like waving Trump flags and like shaking a fence.
00:54:31.000And then Nancy Pelosi was like, use the crewman machine guns.
00:54:52.000There's no conservative they would accept.
00:54:54.000I mean, unless a conservative that's just gonna confirm all their beliefs and go totally never Trump and become Jennifer Rubin, you know, Max Boot.
00:55:00.000But here's the thing that bothers me too.
00:55:02.000It's not even that they were objecting to the content of what he wrote.
00:55:06.000They were objecting to just him as a person being allowed to speak in that platform because of, like, tweets from 2007 or something that upset them.
00:55:15.000It would be actually at least something we could fight against and debate if they were saying that column was bad and shouldn't have been published.
00:55:21.000None of these people freaking out about it could tell you what he wrote.
00:55:25.000Most of them didn't even read it, I would bet.
00:56:45.000And then like drew his sword to protect them from the wild beast?
00:56:49.000Or would they have hidden and shivered?
00:56:51.000I'd imagine back in the day when we were faced with these very serious challenges and men literally walked around armed all the time, something like that probably wouldn't have happened.
00:56:59.000If it was a couple hundred years ago, well, let's say even a hundred years ago, they probably would have had a gun on his belt, you know, when he was, and he probably would have just shot the thing or something like that.
00:57:07.000Now today's day and age, you still have circumstances where a dude who lives out in the middle of nowhere with his family is gonna be armed.
00:57:12.000But what I, the point I'm bringing up is, like, I read that story and I thought to myself, like, would that, would, like, Are we gradually just getting weaker and more scared of everything?
00:57:52.000Because if you start not being exposed to different ideas or different opinions, you don't ever develop the thick skin, and then it just becomes more and more out of control to the point where they... Because the thing is, when they can frame other people's speech as violence or endangering their safety, that is the necessary precursor they have to get to logically argue they should be allowed to shut down that speech preemptively.
00:58:12.000Because if it's just really offensive, most people won't agree they should be able to shut it down.
00:59:07.000But I will say it only helps him right it's like it is an example of like they only confirm everything he says about the liberal media when they do stuff like this and they don't seem to realize that they're just making they're proving his point and they're only propping him up that's another thing we have to understand here like this is this is backfiring and lucky luckily it is because sometimes it doesn't and they get their way.
00:59:26.000But we can't give our way to these people that are, I think, clinically insane.
00:59:31.000I mean, if you're at a point in life where hearing words makes you feel pain, what's wrong with you?
00:59:38.000And again, I keep reminding people, one of the most important powers you have as a human being is the power of your reaction.
01:00:20.000It's something I didn't understand until I actually experienced it.
01:00:24.000Game load for a shotgun, when you're hunting turkeys, has more recoil, is a bigger explosion than an AR-15.
01:00:32.000So when like, when we went to the range, and we had birdshot, I'm like, man, you can feel that birdshot!
01:00:37.000And then when you're firing the AR, it's like, actually, not that much at all, relative.
01:00:42.000So if this guy is getting PTSD from an AR-15, complaining it's like, it's a weapon of war, and he could, he was traumatized from it, I'm like, well, heaven forbid, you have to hunt a turkey!
01:01:32.000I think she has her own like Instagram page where she does when she does competitive shooting.
01:01:38.000Oh, wait, wait, wait, look, there was an update on the story.
01:01:40.000It says, many people have objected to my use of the term PTSD in the above story.
01:01:44.000The use of this term was in no way meant to conflate my very temporary anxiety with the very real condition experienced by many of our brave men and women in uniform.
01:01:52.000I regret the inarticulate use of the term to describe my in-the-moment impression of the gun's firepower and apologize for it.
01:01:58.000I have also posted a follow-up piece here.
01:03:20.000I thought it was going to be way more kickback than what it was.
01:03:23.000If you're prepared for it and you have a grip and you're focused, it's very instant.
01:03:28.000Doesn't this tell you how out of touch journalists are with the people they cover?
01:03:32.000It would be so interesting to go into one of these newsrooms, and actually if you could get them to be honest, the Daily News, the New York Times, how many people own a gun and actually know the true answer to that?
01:03:52.000Any of these issues where it's like the public is split but the institutions that cover them are so dominated by one side.
01:03:58.000How can anyone think, even if they were well-intentioned, which I don't really believe anymore, even if they were well-intentioned, I don't see how they could cover a population like that.
01:04:06.000The funny thing is they say this and they acknowledge this in terms of diversity on the skin surface level.
01:04:12.000They're saying a newsroom with no black people can't cover America fairly, which maybe that's not true, but they at least acknowledge it in that capacity.
01:04:20.000They don't acknowledge the same thing for actual ideas and actual perspectives and experiences.
01:04:25.000You reminded me of that Huffington Post picture where they took a photo of their editorial board and one day it was all women.
01:04:33.000It was just a whole bunch of white women.
01:04:34.000And everyone's like, look at how diverse we are.
01:04:36.000And I'm like, wait, what are you talking about?
01:04:38.000They said it was something like, what do you notice about our boardroom?
01:04:43.000And then someone was like, it's all white people.
01:04:47.000They're like, Huffington Post doesn't hire black people.
01:04:49.000And then they had to like, apologize or something.
01:04:52.000Oh, wait, actually, that reminds me of something.
01:04:53.000Huffington Post opinion, I think it was.
01:04:55.000Actually, publicly, they released, so I used to pitch op-eds in a job that I was in, and the editor there released data about the percentage of minority authors we published, the percentage of trans authors that we published, and they promised to do better next year.
01:05:10.000They're like, we will actively ensure that we publish more black people, more trans people, and it's like, so you're just openly admitting that you're not going to publish the best articles.
01:05:19.000You're going to ask people, so are you trans, by the way?
01:05:22.000I need to know, so I can know whether to run this or not.
01:05:24.000This is a really great op-ed, but who do you like banging?
01:05:30.000Do you like dick or do you like... Like, the equality of outcome versus the equality of opportunity.
01:05:35.000So, like, if they publish more people that created a love of all humans to work together, as opposed to published more black people and more women that maybe would even cause, like, Diversion, you know, cause, what would you call it?
01:07:10.000It's articles that are meant to make no sense on purpose.
01:07:13.000You know, it's like, it's like the art.
01:07:15.000You know, when you look at art, and it's like, you have like a beautiful, like, we have a, we have a picture over there, and it's like a beautiful, like, aurora borealis, and there's a lake, and that's like a real thing, you know?
01:07:36.000They're like perfect little establishment slave ninnies that are used to push the agenda and the narrative of controlling people and getting rid of people's freedoms and they use it over issues and they use it over these talking points and these buzzwords that absolutely have no meaning just like in 1984 Orwellian doublespeak is becoming more and more of a reality.
01:07:55.000Yes, yes, but look what people do with freedom.
01:07:57.000In New York, they bought too large of sodas.
01:08:00.000So Michael Bloomberg had to put a punitive tax on it so that people would stop buying too large of sodas.
01:08:04.000Michael Bloomberg used his freedom to put a ban on other people's sodas.
01:08:19.000He promised to help out the first responders, and the 9-11 first responders, police officers, firefighters, medics, military men who were sick and dying after 9-11 told me, hey, he's promising to give us this funding and support this bill if you personally, Luke, stop harassing him.
01:08:37.000Yeah, I don't know if you want to get into this story, but every time he did a radio show, every time he did a ribbon cutting, every time he did a gala, every time he did a public event, I was on him like white on rice, confronting him and asking him like, you're cutting support.
01:08:50.000He said that first responders were sick because of PTSD and not the actual, you know, what was it?
01:09:10.000No, trust me, there was a police officer who died that he called the not a hero, James Sodroga, and I was on him.
01:09:16.000I was like, what are you doing cutting funding from these incredibly important individuals that came to New York City on 9-11 at ground zero to rescue people?
01:09:26.000And now they're being even denied basic health benefits that they had in their contract.
01:09:31.000So I was on Bloomberg because I knew many of these guys, a lot of them were my friends, a lot of them were... Bloomberg never funded it.
01:09:37.000A first responder organization came to me, the John Feelgood Foundation, and they said, look, Luke, we just got a call from the mayor's office.
01:09:44.000He's telling us that Bloomberg's running for re-election.
01:09:48.000He wants you to stop questioning him at every press conference.
01:09:51.000He wants you to stop calling into all of his radio shows.
01:09:55.000If you leave him alone for his re-election, he will give us this bill.
01:10:00.000I did, and I went to other gala events, and I covered other book signings, other ribbon cuttings where he was at.
01:10:07.000I just kind of gave him a side eye, but I didn't do anything, and I kept my word to the first responders, even though I told them that Bloomberg was going to lie.
01:10:14.000Bloomberg gets re-elected for a third term.
01:10:17.000One of the first things he does is he cuts medical benefits for thousands of 9-11 first responders.
01:10:22.000They call me back, this particular organization, they're like, Luke, he lied.
01:10:29.000I went to confront him and literally they had NYPD intelligence, a specific branch, waiting for me as I'm going up the escalator to one of the gala events.
01:10:37.000And they're like, Radowski, you're coming with us.
01:10:53.000I'm like, yeah, I got it here on camera that you told me I can't leave.
01:10:57.000Took away the camera, threw me in jail.
01:10:59.000The police officers were fans, so they were literally like taking me out and giving me smokes and out of the jail cell.
01:11:05.000NYPD intelligence came down, made sure to send me down to Central Bookings for three days during the weekend, even though it was a criminal trespassing charge that went on for Two years, found non-innocent, but that was one of the reasons that the Canadian government used to ban me from Canada for ten years.
01:11:22.000Because they said I had a criminal arrest record, according to the FBI.
01:11:26.000What you're saying is that you confessed to committing a crime?
01:11:35.000But Bloomberg is one of the dirtiest, nastiest politicians out there.
01:11:39.000And isn't it crazy that Democrats are fine with it because he gives them money?
01:11:42.000Like, when he ran for president, people finally talked about it a little, but mostly conservatives.
01:11:45.000This dude has the longest history of racism, and sexism, and Me Too, and misogyny.
01:11:51.000I mean, he literally did the stop and fresh chorus, like, alright, you look black, get up against the wall, let the police violate your civil liberties.
01:11:58.000There's a recording of him arguing with people about how it's right to racially profile.
01:12:03.000And this guy was running on the Democratic ticket and he had support!
01:12:07.000That's really, it's a surface level commitment to all of this diversity stuff, because ultimately they knew that they needed him to beat Trump, so they decided whatever, all our standards are flexible.
01:12:17.000It's amazing that he, like, look, there are arguments for stop and frisk.
01:12:22.000I think it's a Fourth Amendment violation.
01:12:39.000I mean, I was in New York City during stop-and-frisk, and there was a number of occasions where even I was grabbed up, thrown against the wall by some disrespectful NYPD officers that were rude.
01:12:51.000I got beat up by them you know previously before in a separate incident when I was younger and they just they just again just came up on you and they started grabbing you all in your personal you know parts and I can't even describe what they they did you know a number of instances but this is the this is what they were trying to normalize.
01:13:08.000Government agents walking up to you on the street as you're doing your business and throwing you against your wall insulting you and putting your their hands down your pants.
01:13:16.000That's crazy, because if that had gotten federal traction, I mean, that's like massively totalitarian.
01:14:20.000They say Fauci is the nation's highest paid federal employee, raking in $417,000 in 2019,
01:14:25.000which is the latest year that federal salary data is available.
01:14:28.000He made more than the president's $400,000 a year salary, excuse me.
01:14:34.000In 2019, he also made more than Mike Pence, who outranks Fauci in authority, and made $235,100 in salary, as well as Dr. Deborah Birx, who made $305,000.
01:14:44.000If Fauci remains in this position and doesn't get a raise, he'll make 2.5 million dollars from 2019 through 2024.
01:14:51.000I don't know why they picked those years, but I guess it's because of the next term.
01:14:54.000Data shows that the highest federal employees were medical and dental officers.
01:14:59.000Why are we paying... Look, you can talk about Dr. Fauci and his right or wrong and lockdowns and all that stuff, but why are we paying these people so much money?
01:15:08.000And it's not just about Fauci, it's about just all of these people in general getting hundreds of thousands of dollars from the taxpayer.
01:15:25.000So that's funny, though, because I'm actually I thought those numbers would be even worse because at the state and local level, like at the university level, a university president, at least where I went, UMass, makes north of six hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
01:17:19.000Yeah, very good point that you made there.
01:17:21.000Now, there are some people arguing that we should pay politicians and government officials a high amount so they don't get bribed by special interests.
01:17:30.000But this definitely seems exorbitant, to say the least.
01:17:34.000Dr. Fauci, I mean, I'm definitely not a fan of him, especially everything he did at the Wuhan Laboratory, specifically trying to make coronavirus as lethal as it could be with the gain-of-function data studies.
01:17:48.000But, you know, there's an argument to be made that you don't want these people working for other interests.
01:17:53.000But as I've been arguing against that, saying, you know, money corrupts individuals and you never have enough.
01:17:59.000So even if you do pay them a lot, you know, what's the middle ground here?
01:18:03.000Where do we meet in the middle to make sure that they're satisfied and that they're not corrupt?
01:18:08.000Because, I mean, essentially, let's ask ourselves, what did Dr. Fauci do?
01:18:12.000I mean, he's repeating a lot of the World Health Organization Kind of directives and talking points, but those keep flip-flopping all the time.
01:19:08.000Dr. Fauci literally was telling you that flip-flopping all the time under the directives of the World Health Organization which he just a couple days ago was very excited that the United States is going to be back a part of and financing and funding even though they don't even recognize Taiwan as a country which is absolutely ridiculous.
01:19:25.000We also have to talk about the Fauci fetish, like the media and some of the liberals, not like, some people just like him, right?
01:19:31.000But some people have gotten like culty with it.
01:19:34.000Like they have like Fauci, I've seen Fauci sex toys.
01:19:39.000I've seen like glowing profiles of him about how he's like a stud and all these memes that are like sort of joking, sexualizing Fauci.
01:20:10.000So I mean, if you're looking at those kind of accreditations, you don't have much accreditation.
01:20:14.000What did Dr. Fauci do during this entire saga that we've been through that actually made a positive impact into the coronavirus?
01:20:22.000I mean, that's a serious, legitimate question that we need to be asking, especially if he's getting paid that much.
01:20:27.000I mean, can you name anything noble or great that he's done with the coronavirus other than just repeat World Health Organization talking points and contradict himself all the time?
01:20:35.000Well, we don't know what he's done behind the scenes, and I imagine he seems like a good guy.
01:20:39.000I think he's done his best, and it was like a super horrible position to be in, right?
01:20:43.000No one knew how to handle it, but no one can say he didn't make a ton of mistakes.
01:20:47.000He did, and we should be allowed to point those out and ask what the consequences are.
01:20:52.000Yeah, is there going to be any accountability?
01:20:54.000Is there going to be any way to get, you know, justice for some of the larger consequences that are leading because of very bad government mistakes?
01:21:04.000Well, so here's the thing that bothers me the most about Fauci and some of these other public health people is they were saying they changed their tune and they act like they never did.
01:21:11.000So, for example, you mentioned masks and that's a good one, but also schools.
01:21:15.000schools ran Paul and a bunch of other people and science was showing this to in other countries that reopening schools was perfectly safe and fine and Fauci and other people were totally against it and then they just pivoted a month or two ago they've really pivoted hardcore since the election and law about lockdowns And that's what I can't stand, is I feel a little gaslit by it all.
01:21:37.000I don't know if that was coming through on the podcast, but it was because I was scouring the web to try and find that story about Fauci and the research, and I got it to Newsweek.com.
01:21:45.000Dr. Fauci backed controversial Wuhan lab with U.S.
01:21:48.000dollars for risky coronavirus research.
01:22:12.000well, the particular bats that are in question here that many scientists and experts point to
01:22:19.000leading to the coronavirus are thousands of miles away from Wuhan.
01:22:23.000So the possibility of these bats traveling specifically to Wuhan is extremely improbable.
01:22:29.000Now, do we have any empirical evidence showing that there's a direct link to this?
01:22:33.000No, but there's a crap ton of circumstantial evidence highlighting exactly that there could have been an accidental leak in the Wuhan laboratory.
01:22:51.000We don't know for sure, but there is a lot of circumstantial evidence that a lot of experts are looking at and pointing to and saying they were literally working on making the coronavirus jump from species to species, making it as dangerous as possible.
01:23:05.000This is where the term gain of function comes from.
01:23:07.000This is what Dr. Fauci was literally in charge of bankrolling, you know, before the coronavirus.
01:23:13.000And the United States, there was even diplomatic leaked cables saying that there's a high probability of a virus leaking from this Wuhan laboratory before the coronavirus.
01:23:24.000And just to clarify, this is from the intelligence or New York Mag, the lab leak hypothesis.
01:23:29.000For decades, scientists have been hot wiring viruses in hopes of preventing a pandemic, not causing one.
01:23:35.000And that's basically what he brings up, that there are many scientists saying that essentially the hypothesis is they were trying to create vaccines, and then there was a breach of some sort.
01:23:53.000The weapons of mass destruction weren't quite enough.
01:23:55.000You know, 9-11 got people riled up, but there hasn't been... For Iraq, you mean?
01:23:59.000Yeah, just to rally everyone to become subservient, you know, soldiers or for the cause or whatever.
01:24:04.000Well, the reason this is important to me because if we could understand the origin of this sickness we could deal
01:24:09.000with it So the real issue right now is China blocking the World
01:24:12.000Health Organization The researchers want to come in around a year
01:24:16.000China has blocked the World Health Organization the World Health Organization that sings its praises that says that
01:24:22.000China did an amazing job with the coronavirus
01:24:25.000They are even being blocked from coming in.
01:24:27.000And just a few days ago, finally, after I believe three or four official, very public attempts, did China grant the World Health Organization access into the supposed wet market.
01:26:19.000So I actually went, I actually went into the city when this was all locked down and everything and I had to like get an Uber to go somewhere to do something for my job, right?
01:26:27.000And he could only get me within a mile to where I needed to go because there was like SWAT team, not even SWAT teams, but like military trucks blocking the road and put up fences and I had to walk the rest of the way.
01:27:05.000And I was like, how are people who are essential workers supposed to do that?
01:27:10.000This whole shutting down of the economy and the world is really kind of crazy.
01:27:15.000My conspiratorial mind is lit up the last few days, particularly the last few days for some reason thinking about Wuhan and Corona, because obviously Corona's nasty.
01:27:24.000But where it came from, totally up for debate.
01:27:27.000And we should talk about it, because bioweapons, we've been making movies about them for 20 years, and it is a terrifying idea.
01:29:09.000But it's all these second order unintended consequences when they just looked at one thing and they didn't consider anything else and then they refused to adapt also.
01:29:26.000And they got promoted for it and never held accountable for it.
01:29:29.000The other study that I saw was done by Duke, Harvard and John Hopkins professors and they talked about an excess of 1 million deaths coming in the future because of the longer effects of these lockdowns.
01:29:41.000And again, That's not even including the health screenings, the stoppage of cancer treatments, mental health illnesses, and a large number of economic illnesses that are going to be happening as of course people have to deal with the larger consequences of a failing economy, losing their jobs, losing their businesses, and having failing wages with just record medical
01:30:04.000Don't forget the kids who have lost school and have it shut down.
01:30:07.000You will look back at the trends 10 years from now and you'll see like a distinct class of children who were screwed over by this and it will show in their lifetime success because you can't miss a year and a half of school and just that's fine.
01:30:21.000A lot of these kids are committing suicide.
01:30:22.000or at least trying to. I saw a terrifying story about that, about a school that reopened,
01:30:26.000I can't remember the details, but a school that reopened because it had a suicide spike
01:30:30.000among its students. They're like, we have to reopen. This was a private school. And you can't
01:30:34.000do this to kids, especially when they're, we're also transferring it because they're not the ones
01:30:39.000at risk here at all. And so we're transferring the cost to them for the benefits for other subsets
01:30:47.000Maybe, because there's been even some studies showing that there's no benefit towards lockdowns and that lockdowns actually may create certain situations where people accumulate together at Walmart or Target or Costco and therefore could even help spread the sickness even further.
01:31:02.000So there's even medical arguments being made like that.
01:31:03.000There's studies showing that lockdowns don't work.
01:32:09.000And, you know, interestingly, Trump relied too much on Fauci for whatever reason.
01:32:14.000Fauci, you know, what I saw him doing was basically the media would say it and a day later he'd repeat it.
01:32:18.000And that's why he ended up being wrong so often.
01:32:21.000He'd say things like, oh, you shouldn't wear a mask, and then two days later, oh, yeah, you should wear a mask.
01:32:26.000And it's like, bro, they were saying that in the news like two days ago.
01:32:28.000So the dude, in my opinion, For a while I was like, I like Fauci, he seems to be on the level, seems to be keeping a surprise to things, and then it kind of felt like, wait a minute, this guy's like checked out, isn't he?
01:32:37.000He's like super old, he's been there for decades, he's getting $100,000 a year, he's just sitting back going like, what did they say on CNN?
01:32:43.000Are his eyes at half-mast because he's zen, or because he's on drugs?
01:32:52.000He recently made a statement talking about how the numbers are plateauing and everything seems very promising in the United States moving forward with COVID.
01:33:02.000Well, also Michigan, DC, Chicago, California, New York, all of the political leadership are making announcements that they're going to be easing restrictions.
01:33:53.000But then COVID, it really all became about competence and stability, and those are not Trump's strong suits.
01:33:58.000Those are not government's strong suits at all.
01:34:01.000When Trump was giving his daily briefings, he reached his all-time approval rating in aggregate, and then all of a sudden the media panicked and then stopped airing them saying he was lying too much.
01:34:11.000What really happened, in my opinion, was not whether or not Trump did a good or bad job, it was that no matter what happened, the media said it was a bad job.
01:34:17.000Now you have Joe Biden coming out saying, in his recent speech, there's nothing we can do about the trajectory of COVID at this point.
01:34:23.000When he said he was going to shut it down.
01:34:45.000We've talked with lefties about this, and I said, basically, by what metric do you compare Trump's job on the coronavirus?
01:34:51.000If we were looking at the media, Trump did a tremendous job, because they were saying millions would die, and then hundreds of thousands have died.
01:34:56.000And that's why conservatives, Republicans, when polled, were like, we're okay with where things are, because they were told it was gonna be 90% higher.
01:35:04.000One to two million was the original number.
01:35:07.000Or not 90% higher, I'm sorry, like 10 times higher.
01:35:09.000And then it was one to two million, and then it ended up being like 100 to 200,000, and people were like, wow!
01:35:13.000We were warned that it was going to be worse.
01:35:58.000A lot of people liked it, but he had an opportunity to bypass the press and they hated him for it.
01:36:02.000And he did many times, but too often it was just inflammatory, you know, internet flame.
01:36:08.000I was listening to some guy last night that worked with him a lot and said that he was a raging Adderall addict in the eighties and nineties.
01:36:35.000I know people who have been on the plane with him covering stories and stuff, and they tell me the dude doesn't do drugs, he doesn't drink, and he only eats McDonald's.
01:36:46.000I never saw him do drugs, so he doesn't ever do them.
01:37:08.000Oh, I'll pull up the guy's name real quick.
01:37:10.000And just look up that story and look up that thing.
01:37:11.000But the media was hypercritical if the man had toilet paper on his shoe.
01:37:17.000If he had two scoops of ice cream, they had a crap storm about that.
01:37:21.000So if he had a drug problem, I think they would have found out about it and talked about it.
01:37:25.000And I definitely agree with your point here, Tim.
01:37:28.000He could have spent his time better because, you know, dunking on Rosie O'Donnell maybe is not the priority and shouldn't be the priority when it comes to the issues that this country is facing.
01:37:38.000So, you know, Well, and most leaders, most politicians actually got an approval bounce, except for Trump.
01:37:44.000Every governor, like everyone, except for Trump.
01:37:46.000And I think there's two reasons for that.
01:37:48.000One, I think you're right, it's the media.
01:37:49.000But two is how he handled it and how he, he did shoot himself in the foot on several occasions with stuff he said or feuds he started.
01:37:56.000That's always been part of his problems.
01:37:58.000You know, he started his campaign with being this, this This character.
01:38:03.000And being very negative on a bunch of different things, playing to the internet.
01:38:07.000And he's been that way for a long time.
01:38:08.000Even before he was running, he was tweeting things about Obama and Roger O'Donnell.
01:38:13.000And so what happens is he enters office with this perception that the media used and exploited to make money.
01:38:19.000And there was very little he could do because people already hated him.
01:38:34.000He would be the guy that worked between the producer and the actors so that the producers didn't have to tell the actors, like, hey, what time are you going to be here?
01:38:57.000But another thing to kind of really think about here is that when he first even became president four years ago, we were literally arguing about crowd sizes.
01:39:06.000Donald Trump was saying he had the biggest crowd, way bigger than Barack Obama, and at that point, I knew there was an ego problem, and when someone has an ego problem, they could be very easily manipulated, and that's when I knew this is not going to be the four years that he promises it's going to be, because a lot of people could just pull a couple strings here and there, especially with someone who is very egotistical, and they could easily get their way with someone who's so full of themselves.
01:39:30.000The bomb stock ban was a perfect example of how Democrats could have manipulated Trump way better if they wanted to.
01:39:35.000If they just sucked up to him, they could have got him.
01:39:36.000He does not have, except for a few issues, rooted core values.
01:39:40.000So he's very subject to influence by, you know, who the last person that talked to, who kissed up to him the most.
01:39:46.000So that's, that was always the problem.
01:39:48.000That's how people like John Bolton got in that administration.
01:39:51.000Noel was saying that he also got this, like, nasalplasty surgery to get this part of his nose reconstructed from all the cocaine he did that blew out the cartilage in his nose.
01:40:02.000Like, he was a party boy in his early days.
01:40:21.000It's hard to really determine that, especially from one person.
01:40:26.000I would understand if there was a number of people and maybe if there was some evidence, but until there's evidence or actually other people collaborating, I don't think it's good to take that kind of information that's based on you.
01:41:00.000And he only eats at fast food restaurants because he's scared about getting something foreign in his food.
01:41:05.000And he believes that That McDonald's has universal standards, so if he orders pre-made food, he's safe.
01:41:13.000So like, you walk into McDonald's and say, give me that burger right there, they couldn't have put something in it, and he can't get sick from it.
01:41:18.000It's a combination of, I guess, a fear of poisonings, and also a fear that smaller restaurants have, you don't know if they're going to be following some specific code for cleanliness, so he only eats fast food.
01:41:28.000That's why there's a photo of him on the plane with fast food.
01:41:31.000And so the people I, I, I, the journalists I know who have been on the plane with him and, and followed his entire campaign tour, uh, for both terms have said, basically, the dude is like straight edge.
01:41:42.000I believe that with alcohol because the, at the very least about alcohol, because with alcohol is, I believe it was his brother that died, uh, and was an alcoholic.
01:41:51.000And from what I've heard, that's very genuine that he doesn't drink.
01:41:56.000But it's not even, it's, it's like, It's not even a positive story to say he's a germophobe who only eats McDonald's.
01:42:02.000It's just weird that I see all these stories popping up trying to claim that he does drugs because they saw him sniffling or because people have accused him of doing it.
01:42:08.000There was one story where they claimed he was getting prescribed some kind of medication to help him, like, be active and alert and awake.
01:42:23.000The best moment of his presidency was when he had the whole Chick-fil-A.
01:42:28.000I forget the exact circumstances, but there were some guests coming to the White House and there was some issue with the kitchen or with the food they were going to prepare, so we got full Chick-fil-A spread for them all.
01:42:44.000We're going to have some more bonus segments coming up, and we'll actually be doing a lot more bonus segments that are more probably got to the gun range and stuff like that.
01:42:51.000Maybe some kind of behind-the-scenes stuff.
01:43:23.000I'm gonna be watching it, and actually I'm gonna be interviewing for the producer for my podcast, right?
01:43:28.000But they actually are going into the cultural arena, and I respect that because the culture is where the battles are originally won, and then politics is downstream.
01:43:37.000And it's like Sun Tzu said, you have to win the war before you fight it.
01:43:41.000Well, that's a paraphrasing because the actual quote is probably more profound than that, but you get the idea.
01:43:45.000Alright, we got East F says, Crowder's having twins, having heart complications, and launching a lawsuit.
01:43:51.000He posted an update today, coming back February 1st.
01:45:04.000When you got massive special interests and all these big corporations supporting it and investing in it, they're not going to let Yellen come after their investment.
01:45:11.000Well, she actually walked it back a little bit, too.
01:45:13.000So she put out a statement because Bitcoin dropped after she said that, of course.
01:45:17.000But she put out a statement later that was kind of saying, actually, not so bad.
01:45:22.000There's just creating a buying opportunity.
01:45:24.000What did you expect from the former head of the Fed?
01:45:41.000All right, let's see what we got here.
01:45:42.000Inside of the Aegis says, all content be tagged and a protocol could be built to insert the original video into your video edits via timestamp.
01:45:49.000Calling the OG file saves space and gives watch time to both.
01:46:01.000Opulent Gaming says, I'm trying very hard not to laugh at all the people who voted for Biden, and are now regretting their vote.
01:46:07.000Also, people want to say there wasn't any voter fraud, but a Limestone County woman was arrested for 134 felony counts of it, and the Veritas Lady.
01:46:15.000That's the problem I have with the fraud people.
01:46:17.000They try and make it so that any claim of voter fraud is a grand conspiracy, when there's literally Bill Barr on record saying, we found a bunch of fraud, just not enough to change the election.
01:46:25.000And then you have the Veritas Lady getting arrested, Paxton putting out the statement, the AG, like, we've arrested this lady.
01:47:12.000Like they're just throwing their weight around because they have money?
01:47:16.000It's the stupidest thing in the world when a company is like, I'm going to sue you for a billion dollars!
01:47:21.000So the Giuliani one sounds like a stretch, but I actually think there might be something to the way they sued Newsmax and some of these other outlets because those outlets immediately ran massive retractions.
01:47:33.000There's this website, American Thinker.
01:48:12.000Why is it that there are good people I know whose parents believe in Q?
01:48:17.000I think it's because people want to feel like they do have control over their lives to some degree, and you have two choices.
01:48:24.000Either we have no control in these elections and the people we want lose, or it's a grand conspiracy against you and it's easier to believe that you're fighting this grand fight against the evil cabal.
01:48:34.000At least when you're involved in this grand fight with Team Q, you feel like... You're not helpless, I guess?
01:50:29.000If you really want to ban fake news, the best way to do it is to teach people how to think independently and to look at evidence and make up their own minds and decisions.
01:50:38.000I mean, if we really cared about society, we would be doing that.
01:51:17.000I've tried to explain why it's not true, I've tried to share fact checks, but there's something impenetrable here.
01:51:23.000And I haven't figured it out yet why it is that this is not going away when people are presented with facts that do not add up to this conspiracy theory.
01:51:31.000Because they'll have a mental breakdown.
01:51:33.000Because there is a characteristic of the human mind that when our brains solidify around an idea, and this happens to the left, happens to the right, happens to everybody, and what our brains are basically saying is, this is true and correct, and we're surviving because of it.
01:51:51.000So you grow up, there are certain behaviors you pick up, there are certain things you believe, and you've succeeded to a certain point where your brain says, this is how I succeeded and survived.
01:52:02.000If someone can disprove those things, it puts your life at risk, essentially.
01:52:07.000So then people have mental breakdowns and they're confronted with hard evidence that disproves their worldviews.
01:52:11.000It's kind of like an extreme version of the fact that somebody who's like made their life on a certain belief and made their life's work can't have their mind changed because they have so much invested in it and they've built their sense of self around it.
01:52:33.000He could have just said, I'm not going to duel you.
01:52:36.000I mean, his dueling was a big thing back then, I guess.
01:52:39.000But yeah, he, uh, I guess the story is Alexander Hamilton purposefully missed, you know, missed because he didn't think it was going to be a legit duel and he got, he got hit in the chest or whatever.
01:52:56.000Ponyboy says, I lean right, Tim, but I respect you for not succumbing to the bias of your fan base and sticking to your research.
01:53:01.000With all the negativity, maybe a good idea would be to focus on one wholesome story a week or something.
01:53:07.000Well, what we're going to be doing more and more of is just, you know, we've got some people who want to have a come on the show who focus on near-death experiences and life after death and stuff like that, like real research, not like some, you know, hippie shaman guy who thinks he's an alien.
01:53:23.000We actually have people who are, like, university professors who have done research on people who have had, you know, near-death experiences and there's, like, weird commonalities and patterns.
01:53:55.000So what happened, and I'm going to butcher this because I don't know the details, but his campaign opponent made some oppo research claiming that he liked Bigfoot erotica and he didn't.
01:54:05.000But then he wrote a whole book about conspiracy theories and how there are people out there who believe in Bigfoot for real.
01:54:11.000And it's become kind of a sexual cult, I guess, around Bigfoot.
01:54:38.000And the Maxwell stuff and the Epstein stuff.
01:54:41.000There's a lot of stuff we know, but I think we're only scratching the surface.
01:54:46.000I think it's, you know, a lot of people want to... I'll just put it this way.
01:54:51.000We probably know one out of a hundred things about what's actually going on.
01:54:54.000And you think about what Epstein's been accused of, I think there's way more going on than just... Human trafficking is one of the biggest... But I don't have to say way more than that.
01:55:01.000There's probably shady business, there's probably drug dealing, there's probably weapons trafficking, there's probably all the craziest stuff you can think of.
01:55:08.000But we don't know, because all the secrets went away with Jeffrey Epstein.
01:55:12.000You know, the Russian dissident that just went back put out a public statement, I am not suicidal, because he knew the Russian government was about to arrest him.
01:57:20.000So my whole thing was, I criticized the Libertarian Party presidential nominee for saying that private citizens should be able to own tanks.
01:57:27.000Because I basically said, it's just totally out of touch.
01:57:29.000It's just like, and I think you have to draw it.
01:57:31.000So I'm very pro-gun, but I think you have to draw the line somewhere, right?
01:57:34.000Like, I don't believe private nuke ownership.
01:57:39.000You think you would do trust Bill Gates with a nuke?
01:57:42.000I don't think Bill Gates would nuke anybody.
01:57:44.000I don't know what he would want to nuke for, but I can tell you that at the time the Second Amendment was created, corsairs and privateers were all the rage.
01:57:51.000So when the Founding Fathers said the right to bear arms, they legit knew that people had artillery, and they knew that people actually had their own warships.
01:57:58.000I think that we should have as few people with nukes as possible.
01:58:36.000So, like, I was thinking about this when we were at the range.
01:58:38.000You have all these people all over the place with guns and they're shooting, and I was just thinking, like, at any point, someone could, you know, shoot somebody else, but it's not gonna happen because people don't want to hurt each other.
01:58:48.000Now, sometimes people do, like the dude with the Killdozer, you know what I mean?
01:58:50.000So I think, ultimately, the challenge is, you're probably right in don't give people, you know, full intact artillery shells, but the dude built the Killdozer.
02:00:28.000The problem is like, I wish we actually could get rid of all the governments, but you could never like, like nuclear disarmament as a strategy is like, well, only the good guys are going to go along with it.
02:00:47.000Tim, would you please ask Lydia to DM StixxHexenHammer666 and RazorFist on Twitter and extend an invitation for your show while Stixx is back in the States.
02:01:53.000Timothy Peterson says, on the AR-15 PTSD tip, when we first went to range in basic training, our drill sergeant put an M16 against his crotch and fired off three rounds to demonstrate low recoil.
02:02:04.000Love it when MSM refers to 223556 as high power.
02:02:10.000We have a 308, which was fun at the range.
02:02:13.000And it's just like, what is this guy doing?
02:02:14.000He's never, like, I'm sorry, I gotta bring it back to how funny it is to imagine, like, a teenager going turkey hunting with his family, and that's more recoil than this guy had, and he can't handle that?
02:02:27.000Okay, so Matthew Doherty says Steven Crowder announced today that he will be involved in a lawsuit against Big Tech, and he plans to join in or do something similar.
02:02:34.000Me, no, but I did see that Jack Posobiec tweeted something about Amazon and mail-in voting, and Twitter labeled it as disputed, and I think that might be grounds for a defamation suit against Twitter, because Twitter made the statement.
02:02:46.000So if you tweet something about... So Amazon recently said, we don't want mail-in votes, we want in-person secure.
02:02:52.000And then he tweeted saying, like, they're saying mail-in voting is, you know, insecure.
02:02:55.000Twitter put an auto-flag on it saying, this claim about voter fraud is disputed, blah blah blah.
02:03:09.000By putting a statement on Jack Posobiec's tweet, Twitter publicly stated Jack Posobiec is wrong.
02:03:15.000But he's a public figure, so he has a really high defamation standard.
02:03:18.000Which would be knowing that what he said was true and correct and still putting the flag there anyway, which is the challenge because if it was done by an algorithm... That's what I was gonna say.
02:04:00.000How many is that compared to other transportation methods?
02:04:02.000Is it worth the oil being sent likely to China?
02:04:05.000Uh, I think it's unfair to say I seemingly justify the cancellation.
02:04:08.000In my latest video, I said I have no strong opinions one way or the other.
02:04:11.000I understand the argument that it actually creates less emissions transporting the oil by pipeline than by freight or by trucks, and I don't know the amount of spills we've got from freight or from trucks, so it's hard to know who's right or wrong on the issue.
02:04:24.000The point I was making is that these unions endorsed, the pipefitters union endorsed Biden.
02:04:29.000And Politico was like, even though he says he's going to ban Keystone, they did it anyway.
02:04:33.000And then when he bans Keystone, they're like, oh, oh no, oh geez, how could he do this?
02:04:37.000And I'm like, you knew he was going to do it.
02:07:52.000I like the way you're thinking, and since you did this to me, I now have been granted permission officially by the internet and the rules of Super Chats to do the same to you.
02:13:08.000I would love to get some progressive, I don't like the word progressive, what it means, what it's become, but like Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Corey Bush.
02:13:20.000Just somebody that's like so out there on the other end of the spectrum.
02:13:56.000But the key to a successful business is to just start doing it.
02:13:59.000If you try and build this massive castle before anyone's come, you might find that people don't actually want to use it, and then you've got to change everything.
02:14:04.000So you start like we did, we're going to reformat the whole layout of the site, we're going to be adding more kinds of content, better video players, we're just slowly going to be improving it over time.
02:14:12.000So make sure you go to timcast.com, become a member, Because we're going to be producing more and more members-only content.
02:14:18.000We're probably going to be expanding like crazy as this ramps up because it's really, it's taken off and you guys are awesome.
02:14:23.000But I want to make a network that is huge.
02:14:26.000I want to do, eventually, like a 24-hour live stream where we have, like, different people hosting different news segments throughout the day.
02:14:33.000Just make it really this big, you know, network of content, a variety of issues, and, you know, skateboarding, music, culture, games, everything.
02:14:55.000And if people want to follow me, it's Brad underscore Palumbo, P-O-L-U-M-B-O.
02:14:59.000And most importantly, the podcast is Breaking Boundaries with Brad Palumbo on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
02:15:05.000Today I'm wearing one of my favorite personal shirts that says, I wear crystals, I burn sage, I meditate, I fast, and I still want to slap some people upside the head.
02:15:17.000And you get that shirt and many others.
