Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - FBI Ordered NOT To Investigate Hunter Biden Says Whistleblower w-James Lindsay

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:16.000 you so we got some FBI whistleblowers

00:00:41.000 They've come out and they've said that the FBI, top brass, told them not to investigate Hunter Biden and his laptop because they didn't want to influence an election.

00:00:51.000 So instead, just let a crooked guy win, I guess?

00:00:54.000 It's shocking, but probably not shocking to a lot of people.

00:00:58.000 The idea, I guess, is that they're concerned in 2016, when they did the whole Hillary Clinton email thing, they may have swayed an election.

00:01:04.000 Well, here you go.

00:01:05.000 They were instructed not to investigate, so we will be talking about that.

00:01:08.000 Plus, Marjorie Taylor Greene got swatted.

00:01:11.000 Yup.

00:01:12.000 Dude, swatting is an attempted murder, as far as I'm concerned, because people have died.

00:01:17.000 It may not be as direct of a threat or act of terror as, like, literally showing up to, say, like, Brett Kavanaugh's house, but it is extreme.

00:01:25.000 And if we're getting to that point where individuals are targeting sitting members of Congress in such a way, I gotta tell you, man, look, January 6th was bad.

00:01:33.000 It was a riot.

00:01:34.000 But this is direct targeting of a politician.

00:01:37.000 It's all in this space of dramatic escalation.

00:01:40.000 Turns out, according to police, it's being reported the individual who swatted Marjorie Taylor Greene was a trans rights activist.

00:01:46.000 So we'll be talking about that and so much more.

00:01:51.000 Crazy days.

00:01:52.000 Donald Trump is celebrating that he's got all of his endorsements won.

00:03:58.000 Dr. James Lindsay!

00:03:59.000 It's a little embarrassing these days, though, to admit that you stayed in academia that long.

00:04:02.000 Nah, and you got a PhD.

00:04:04.000 So for those that don't know who you are, who are you?

00:04:06.000 I'm Dr. James Lindsay.

00:04:08.000 That's concise.

00:04:09.000 I like it.

00:04:10.000 That explains it.

00:04:10.000 Tim, I'm dead.

00:04:12.000 I died.

00:04:12.000 They kicked me off of Twitter.

00:04:13.000 That's it.

00:04:14.000 Your digital self is gone.

00:04:16.000 That's right.

00:04:16.000 R.I.P.

00:04:17.000 me.

00:04:17.000 R.I.P.

00:04:18.000 James.

00:04:18.000 You wanna pull that microphone up a little bit?

00:04:19.000 Sure.

00:04:20.000 R.I.P.

00:04:20.000 James?

00:04:21.000 I always do this.

00:04:21.000 Yeah, R.I.P.

00:04:22.000 James.

00:04:22.000 Look at this.

00:04:22.000 Yeah, look at that.

00:04:23.000 That's it.

00:04:24.000 He was sword fighting.

00:04:25.000 That's what Lydia said.

00:04:26.000 Lydia said that I'm jacked.

00:04:27.000 That's right. 0.91

00:04:28.000 It's getting jacked.

00:04:28.000 Working on it.

00:04:29.000 Okay, so I criticize woke stuff.

00:04:31.000 I read Marxism.

00:04:32.000 I tell people what Marxist books say, and I criticize woke as a form of Marxism.

00:04:36.000 I call it woke Marxism, as a matter of fact.

00:04:38.000 That's not a joke.

00:04:38.000 I know there's a lot of joking involved in what I say and do, but... Like, critical race theory is basically woke Marxism.

00:04:43.000 I wrote a book in February called Race Marxism that's about critical race theory, so yeah.

00:04:48.000 Right now I'm doing education theory.

00:04:50.000 I'm going through that.

00:04:50.000 I'm diving into this so-called queer theory, which, guess what I would think of it as?

00:04:55.000 Queer Marxism.

00:04:56.000 Yeah, there you go.

00:04:57.000 Yeah, whole thing.

00:04:58.000 So, I think everybody knows who I am, actually.

00:05:00.000 Yeah, everyone, everyone.

00:05:02.000 Because I've been struck down like Obi-Wan, which made me much stronger.

00:05:05.000 Of course.

00:05:05.000 I sensed your presence.

00:05:06.000 I knew you could.

00:05:08.000 Thanks for coming.

00:05:08.000 We also have Hannah-Claire Brimelow.

00:05:09.000 She's hanging out.

00:05:10.000 Hi, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimelow.

00:05:11.000 I'm a writer for TimCast.com.

00:05:13.000 I'm Ian Crossland, also happy to be here.

00:05:15.000 What's up, everybody?

00:05:16.000 James, looking forward to finding out why you got banned from Twitter.

00:05:20.000 I'm still shocked, still reeling.

00:05:22.000 Let's talk more about that in a bit.

00:05:24.000 We will get into it for sure.

00:05:25.000 I am back this evening.

00:05:26.000 My hand is still incredibly crippled.

00:05:28.000 Oh, you can't see it.

00:05:29.000 There you go.

00:05:29.000 And sore up my little T-Rex arm.

00:05:30.000 Let's get going.

00:05:31.000 Yikes.

00:05:32.000 Lydia got surgery.

00:05:33.000 I did.

00:05:33.000 Yeah, they broke it again and they put bolts in it.

00:05:36.000 Super metal.

00:05:36.000 Were you awake for that?

00:05:37.000 No, no, no.

00:05:38.000 I made them knock me out.

00:05:39.000 I was like, goodbye.

00:05:40.000 What was it like?

00:05:40.000 You just like fell asleep?

00:05:41.000 Yeah, it was great.

00:05:42.000 It was great.

00:05:43.000 I just drifted off.

00:05:43.000 That freaks me out, you know?

00:05:45.000 Like when you're going for surgery, it's like, what happens?

00:05:46.000 Do you like, do you dream while they're chopping?

00:05:49.000 It's a nap.

00:05:49.000 I woke up in a surgery once.

00:05:51.000 No, don't recommend that.

00:05:52.000 I've heard people doing that with their wisdom teeth.

00:05:54.000 Yeah, it was my wisdom teeth.

00:05:55.000 I was not put under for that.

00:05:57.000 Man, I woke up and they were like hammering to break the... I don't know if you knew they'd break your wisdom teeth to get them out.

00:06:03.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:06:04.000 I wasn't put under for that.

00:06:05.000 And the guy started like laughing.

00:06:06.000 Like I was like... I couldn't talk.

00:06:08.000 My mouth was like clamped open.

00:06:10.000 Could you feel it?

00:06:11.000 I felt pressure, like the hitting, but no, it didn't hurt.

00:06:15.000 And the guy starts laughing, and he's like, night-night, and you could see him like rallying, and he gave me more drugs, and man, I was like, I came out of that surgery messed up for like a day.

00:06:26.000 Yeah, I got a, one of my, a couple of my wisdom teeth were taken out very methodically and professionally, and I was uneventful, but one was impacted, and the dude had a chisel and was like bashing it, and I was like, ah, ah, ah!

00:06:39.000 I was under for mine, all of mine were impacted, and when I woke up I was really stressed out, probably coming out of the anesthesia, but like requested adamantly that they return my teeth to me.

00:06:50.000 I don't know what it was, I was like very distressed.

00:06:52.000 They're like, they're broken.

00:06:53.000 I was like, I need them.

00:06:55.000 Return what you've stolen from me.

00:06:58.000 All right, let's talk about this.

00:06:59.000 We got some news, man.

00:07:00.000 Let's talk about the story we got from the New York Post.

00:07:02.000 FBI brass warned agents off Hunter Biden laptop due to 2020 election, according to whistleblowers.

00:07:08.000 FBI officials told agents not to investigate first son Hunter Biden's infamous laptop for months, vowing that the bureau was, quote, not going to change the outcome of the election again, according to whistleblower claims made public by Wednesday by Senator Ron Johnson.

00:07:23.000 These new allegations provide even more evidence of FBI corruption and renew calls for you to take immediate steps to investigate the FBI's actions, regardless of the laptop Johnson wrote in a letter to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz.

00:07:35.000 According to the senator, individuals with knowledge had told his office that local FBI leadership had slow-walked the laptop investigation after the computer was recovered from a Wilmington, Delaware repair shop in December of 2019.

00:07:48.000 We got this story from The Examiner.

00:07:49.000 Jim Jordan says, more FBI whistleblowers are coming forward every other week.

00:07:54.000 Here's where it gets crazy.

00:07:56.000 The FBI said not to investigate very serious crimes, which literally involved the man running.

00:08:02.000 And the excuse was, we don't want to interfere in an election.

00:08:05.000 It's like, no, you're literally interfering.

00:08:07.000 You're pausing your job, not bringing criminal justice accountability to a corrupt family, Because the person's running for office.

00:08:15.000 At the same time, right now, Donald Trump, who we all know is going to be running, is having his home raided by the FBI, and they're cheering for it.

00:08:23.000 So very clearly, I just, can I just, what's the word for, you know, when we've done hundreds of shows, Thousands of segments and we just talk about political civil war conflict weaponization of the DOJ all of that stuff and like this is It certainly should be a a cold splash of water in the face of the average person And if this doesn't do it for you like to somebody and they don't believe it there.

00:08:48.000 There's no there's no change in their minds you actually have the FBI whistleblower saying We were told not to investigate a Hunter Biden laptop, which includes Joe Biden.

00:08:57.000 Meanwhile, Donald Trump currently, right now, is having his home raided.

00:09:00.000 Okay, there you go.

00:09:01.000 It's busted.

00:09:02.000 What do we do?

00:09:04.000 We do what we do, which is, I pledge to point it out, doing nothing is a form of doing something.

00:09:10.000 Often, sitting by and watching evil take place is an active thing you do.

00:09:15.000 They certainly influence the election by not getting involved or by choosing to ignore it.

00:09:20.000 That's a form of influence.

00:09:21.000 Like, it would be if, let's say there's a house on fire and it's got evidence of a crime in it and the firefighters are like...

00:09:30.000 I'm not going to put that fire out because then somebody might find that evidence and use that against the person who lives there.

00:09:36.000 So we'd rather just let the place burn down, I guess.

00:09:37.000 That makes no sense.

00:09:39.000 The FBI, their law enforcement, they're supposed to say, we will stop criminal activity.

00:09:42.000 This means Hunter Biden could have been actively engaged in criminal activity for a year.

00:09:49.000 And the FBI was like, well, you know, but, uh, you know, Joe Biden's going to run for office, so we better just let him do it.

00:09:54.000 There you go.

00:09:54.000 Welcome to, uh, what's, what's, what's the word for it?

00:09:57.000 What do we, what do we call this era in American history?

00:10:00.000 Is there a word we can use?

00:10:01.000 I don't know.

00:10:02.000 I mean it's just such a like partisan play right?

00:10:05.000 We don't want to influence an election depending on who's running and also who we don't want to run.

00:10:11.000 It's just so strange and open.

00:10:13.000 I am surprised that the FBI I was really surprised when the obvious answer after Mar-a-Lago was people being like, we don't know that we trust the FBI.

00:10:23.000 Why are we letting this organization run this way?

00:10:25.000 And the response was, no, you can't say that about this giant government institution.

00:10:30.000 Like, it seems like it's clearly biased to favor Democrats right now and to protect Democrats who might be conducting or acting illegally.

00:10:42.000 But obviously, Choosing to investigate Trump and other Republicans.

00:10:46.000 It's just, how can you even trust the system when it's so obviously biased?

00:10:51.000 But they don't care.

00:10:52.000 No, they don't.

00:10:52.000 I think what they're really trying to do is protect the liberal economic order, which is this global, you know, thing we've had since 1946, basically to prevent World War III.

00:11:04.000 I don't personally think it's like a Democrat-Republican thing.

00:11:06.000 I think they're trying to hold up the old order.

00:11:09.000 I disagree somewhat.

00:11:11.000 I agree that there are powerful interests and entities that clearly want the liberal international economy to stay afloat.

00:11:17.000 But people are chatting about Sam Harris as a good example of exactly what is going on here.

00:11:23.000 Sam Harris, he said the quiet part out loud.

00:11:26.000 And then he tried walking it back because he realized what he was saying, what he was admitting to.

00:11:30.000 He said he would not care if Hunter Biden had the corpses of children in his basement.

00:11:34.000 It's like you realize who's giving this guy money and who's funding this and what that investigation would actually lead to, but they don't care. 0.99

00:11:43.000 They're psychopaths. 0.98

00:11:46.000 I don't know. 1.00

00:11:47.000 What's the mental Trump derangement syndrome?

00:11:51.000 Is that the official diagnosis? 0.97

00:11:54.000 You have people who are like, Sam Harris literally saying Hunter Biden could be abusing and murdering kids, but Trump once had a university and that's worse.

00:12:02.000 He actually said those words. 0.55

00:12:04.000 He said, I wouldn't care if there were corpses of children in Hunter Biden's basement.

00:12:08.000 What Trump did with Trump University was way worse than anything Hunter Biden could have done.

00:12:12.000 And it's like, what?

00:12:14.000 The worst case scenario is Trump opened a fake university and ripped some people off.

00:12:18.000 And that's worse than Joe Biden funneling U.S.

00:12:20.000 taxpayer money to Ukraine and getting us involved in war and surrendering in Afghanistan?

00:12:25.000 Among other things.

00:12:27.000 So you asked, what is this period in America's history called?

00:12:31.000 It's the attempted, hopefully attempted, color revolution of the United States. 0.94

00:12:35.000 Weimar America? 0.89

00:12:36.000 Well, one wishes, actually.

00:12:38.000 It's worse than that.

00:12:39.000 It's exactly the same kind of thing they pulled in Ukraine a couple, you know, like 2014 or whatever.

00:12:43.000 We're talking about a revolution.

00:12:45.000 They are attempting to take over the country illegitimately, in my opinion.

00:12:50.000 Yeah, and what I was saying earlier is, you know, I've talked about civil war, but I should revise that.

00:12:55.000 Because civil war implies two factions competing.

00:12:58.000 Right now, it just looks like it's a revolution.

00:13:00.000 So, you know, you look at Soviet Russia, you look at Germany, those were not civil wars.

00:13:04.000 The political conflict ultimately resulted in one faction just instantly winning without a civil war.

00:13:09.000 So, to be a bit more pessimistic, the result of everything that's going on would be revolution.

00:13:15.000 But I do kind of feel like they're losing, so...

00:13:17.000 I do too.

00:13:18.000 And so, I mean, another way that we could characterize this, since you have me here and I talk about Marxist theory all the time, is that what we're actually living through is kind of the logic of this essay from 1965 called Repressive Tolerance.

00:13:30.000 I bring this up a million times.

00:13:31.000 I brought it up here before.

00:13:33.000 But the logic of Repressive Tolerance is that the left must be tolerated at any—this is actually, you can look up the essay itself.

00:13:39.000 It's the thesis statement.

00:13:40.000 We must extend tolerance to the left.

00:13:42.000 We must not extend tolerance to the right.

00:13:44.000 They say that this includes the level of violence.

00:13:47.000 Herbert Marcuse is the one who wrote this in 1965.

00:13:49.000 He said, you know, it's never ethical to engage in violence, but since when does ethics make history?

00:13:54.000 And so he excuses violence, and he has a long paragraph where he mentions violence like 13 times.

00:13:59.000 And he says there's a big difference between revolutionary violence and reactionary violence.

00:14:03.000 And what the deal is, we must extend tolerance to the left and not to the right.

00:14:06.000 And he says to the point with the right, that what you're actually trying to stop, and this is a Hunter Biden story, right?

00:14:12.000 What you're trying to stop is the thought from entering the potential reactionary's mind.

00:14:17.000 He says that it involves not just censorship, but pre-censorship.

00:14:20.000 You don't even want the right wing, which everybody who's not a revolutionary on the left is the right wing, by the way.

00:14:25.000 You don't even want the thought to enter their mind that would allow anything except left-wing power to take control.

00:14:31.000 And so we live in the logic of that essay.

00:14:34.000 I would guess that our Department of Justice and our FBI have taken this horrifically totalitarian document from the 60s as an instruction manual.

00:14:42.000 And what you see then is you see this cracking down on President Trump, which by the way, I was on a flight recently to California.

00:14:49.000 I'm sitting next to a lifelong, she's in her, you know, 70s, lifelong California liberal, married to a professor, the whole thing, right?

00:14:55.000 So you're thinking some leftist.

00:14:57.000 She starts talking about Trump.

00:14:59.000 She's like, well, first she asked me what I do.

00:15:01.000 I said, I go around, I talk about Marxism, I study Marxism.

00:15:03.000 She's like, well, I don't know anything about Marxism.

00:15:05.000 I'm thinking that's why you probably support it.

00:15:07.000 Yeah.

00:15:07.000 But she says that she's asking me, do you think Trump's a dictator?

00:15:11.000 I think he might have been an attempted dictator, this whole thing.

00:15:14.000 And then she says, but this raid on his house was too far.

00:15:17.000 So you talk about shaking people loose and freaking people out.

00:15:21.000 She's like, this isn't what we do in America.

00:15:23.000 They shouldn't have raided his house.

00:15:26.000 And I was like, wow, that's something.

00:15:28.000 Now, I heard a podcast with like a literal neocommunist, one of the people that's in league with that literal neocommunist that AOC shared a megaphone with after Samara Taylor or whatever name is, after the Roe v. Wade decision.

00:15:40.000 And this podcast was with an educator who's also an open communist, Henry Giroux, who like changed all of American education to be what it is today.

00:15:49.000 And in that podcast, she's like, the very fact that they raided his house, Well, so I often eschew the left-right paradigm.

00:15:56.000 he's done all this wrong stuff.

00:15:57.000 And I was like, wow, the dividing line in our society is people who think the institutions are still legitimate,

00:16:01.000 like Sam Harris, and people who don't, who have questions at least about them.

00:16:06.000 Well, so I often, I eschew the left-right paradigm.

00:16:11.000 In fact, that's what my Wikipedia says about me.

00:16:13.000 And then, you know, people argue, but Tim talks about the left and the right all the time.

00:16:16.000 And I'm like, they're colloquial terms that don't really reference politics.

00:16:19.000 They reference, as I think you put it well, revolutionary.

00:16:23.000 And I don't, I don't think reactionary to be completely honest, because, um, there are reformers.

00:16:28.000 Right, right.

00:16:29.000 You know, the leftists view everybody except themselves as reactionaries, as the right.

00:16:35.000 And literally it's like right-wing extremists, which of course we hear from our military.

00:16:38.000 We hear from, uh, the DOJ, et cetera.

00:16:41.000 I often say it's those who are discerning and those who are not.

00:16:46.000 Simply put, there are people who will hear information and say, I'll check into that.

00:16:51.000 And there are people who hear information and go, whoa.

00:16:54.000 That's crazy.

00:16:55.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:16:55.000 That's crazy.

00:16:57.000 And so then you end up with Michael Brown and they go, whoa, that's Chris.

00:17:02.000 And then we go, what's the report say?

00:17:03.000 Oh, the report says, hands up, don't you?

00:17:05.000 It wasn't true.

00:17:05.000 Then you get people who are like, Jesse Smollett.

00:17:08.000 Whoa.

00:17:09.000 And then we're like, okay, that sounds nuts.

00:17:12.000 Like right away when the story came out, we were like, dude, Trump supporters at 3am.

00:17:17.000 in freezing weather in Chicago in a work district, not a residential one, attacking a D-list celebrity?

00:17:25.000 I really don't believe it.

00:17:26.000 I stayed in that hotel in January.

00:17:27.000 It was like 8 degrees.

00:17:29.000 I had COVID.

00:17:29.000 It was awesome.

00:17:32.000 That's great.

00:17:32.000 No, sorry.

00:17:33.000 It was like minus eight degrees.

00:17:36.000 Nobody's getting attacked there.

00:17:37.000 Let me give you a really good example, actually.

00:17:39.000 And I want to shout out to our good friend Vosh, actually.

00:17:42.000 And that's only half... Vosh, you know Vosh, right? 0.86

00:17:45.000 Yeah, Vush.

00:17:45.000 Vush.

00:17:46.000 It's only half sarcastic.

00:17:47.000 I do respect that he was willing to come on the show, though we disagree with him.

00:17:49.000 But he tweeted, I delayed paying off my student loans just in case debt relief got passed and

00:17:54.000 now I find out you're not eligible if you're a famous YouTuber who makes $1 million a day,

00:17:58.000 honestly. And he's obviously joking. So I responded with OMG, this is exactly the left

00:18:04.000 Vosch is rich and wants free money.

00:18:07.000 This is proof Biden is a communist. 0.99

00:18:09.000 Very clearly, we are both just being silly.

00:18:12.000 But wow, the responses from people who instantly believed I was... Like, there are people on the left who believed Vosch was being serious, and they're going, he makes a million dollars a day. 0.97

00:18:23.000 And there are people responding to me, and they're like, look at these right-wing grifters.

00:18:27.000 Look what they're saying.

00:18:28.000 And it's just like, that's it right there.

00:18:30.000 Did you know if he gave a million dollars a day to people, then America could be, everybody could have a million dollars.

00:18:36.000 He's the one stopping it.

00:18:37.000 It's all Vusha's fault.

00:18:38.000 You know what I love the most though is when someone says like, they're like, what do they say?

00:18:43.000 Michael Bloomberg spent $500 million on the election.

00:18:47.000 There are 300 million people living in this country.

00:18:49.000 He could have given everyone a million dollars.

00:18:51.000 It's like, do your math again.

00:18:53.000 Well, millions is a unit.

00:18:55.000 You have 10 eggs and everybody can have eggs.

00:18:59.000 Millions is just a unit.

00:19:01.000 It's simple.

00:19:02.000 And so this is, you know, so to go back to your point, you know, you're mentioning it's the people who trust the institutions, people who don't.

00:19:07.000 It's like, yeah, that's all part of it.

00:19:09.000 I refer to it as a cult.

00:19:11.000 It is a cult.

00:19:12.000 It's 100% a cult.

00:19:13.000 I would love to talk about how like, not just religious, but cultish.

00:19:17.000 Uh, this whole, like, whether we want to deal with Woke, whether we want to deal with, like, this kind of, like, leftist arrangement cult.

00:19:23.000 Like, Sam Harris has, I would guess, I don't know, I've been out with him, but, once, but I can't guess his mind.

00:19:30.000 But I would suppose he has a group of people to whom he's very interested in maintaining their esteem.

00:19:35.000 Yeah.

00:19:36.000 And there are, let me tell you, as you would also be able to tell people, There are certain things that you just can't espouse before people decide they don't like you anymore.

00:19:46.000 People think you've lost your mind, they think that you're a terrible person, they dissociate from you.

00:19:52.000 But that's mostly on the left.

00:19:54.000 It is.

00:19:55.000 It's just on the right for sure.

00:19:56.000 A little bit, but I mean, it's the exception.

00:19:59.000 How did one get here?

00:19:59.000 Right.

00:20:01.000 Yeah.

00:20:01.000 So, you know, I've been cut off.

00:20:02.000 I've been, I've been canceled from all kinds of people, people I thought were friends, but you know, all sorts of stuff because, well, what did I do?

00:20:10.000 I said that maybe Trump is an all right candidate for president.

00:20:13.000 Trump's not that bad.

00:20:14.000 Maybe orange man good, you know, who knows?

00:20:16.000 Maybe making America great again is a good idea.

00:20:19.000 Cause it's kind of a, on the descent right now, if we don't kind of curb some of these things.

00:20:24.000 I've been talking about music lately because we're releasing this song, and it's fresh in my mind.

00:20:30.000 So for those that are wondering, it's like, why is Tim bringing it up again?

00:20:32.000 Well, it's like, it's in my mind.

00:20:33.000 We're working on this project.

00:20:35.000 And I tweeted this today, like, there are people who are scared to say things they like, and that's weird to me.

00:20:41.000 So Nickelback is a really good example.

00:20:44.000 Um, because everybody jokes about how awful Nickelback is.

00:20:46.000 It's like, dude, they have ten, six, top ten.

00:20:49.000 Oh, I'm sorry, they have six top tens on Billboard Hot 100, and they have won Billboard Hot 100 number one for four weeks.

00:20:57.000 For one month, they had a song on the number, the number one song.

00:21:00.000 Like, people clearly like Nickelback.

00:21:02.000 Yeah.

00:21:03.000 But it became a meme where it was like, you weren't cool if you admitted liking them.

00:21:05.000 Well, that's because they went huge.

00:21:07.000 Maybe, but I'll say this, you know, so I was like, People clearly like them.

00:21:12.000 Not really my jam.

00:21:12.000 I've never been a fan of them.

00:21:14.000 But they did a cover of Devil Went Down to Georgia, which is mind-blowingly good.

00:21:19.000 It's one of the best covers of the song I've ever heard.

00:21:21.000 The guitar playing is crazy.

00:21:22.000 The vocals are fantastic.

00:21:24.000 They cut the chorus out, though, and I'm like, hmm.

00:21:27.000 Come on, man.

00:21:27.000 Charlie Daniels Band, it's a classic song.

00:21:30.000 But it was really, really good.

00:21:31.000 It's amazing.

00:21:32.000 I got no problem saying that.

00:21:33.000 And there are people tweeting at me being like, this explains it.

00:21:35.000 Uh-huh.

00:21:36.000 He admits it.

00:21:37.000 And I'm like, do you think I care?

00:21:39.000 I genuinely enjoy that song.

00:21:41.000 I will tell you that.

00:21:42.000 Yeah.

00:21:42.000 I'm not worried about you not liking me because you do nothing for my life.

00:21:45.000 There's a term for this.

00:21:47.000 What is it?

00:21:47.000 It's preference falsification.

00:21:49.000 It's that in order to appear socially acceptable, you falsify your actual preferences.

00:21:54.000 That you like a Nickelback cover or song or band, period.

00:21:58.000 But you know that the people you're talking to will think you're not cool if you do that.

00:22:01.000 And so you falsify your preferences as a social maneuver.

00:22:05.000 That's crazy to me.

00:22:06.000 And I actually think that people like Sam Harris falsified their preferences, or maybe they didn't.

00:22:10.000 Maybe they just got sucked in by the psyops.

00:22:12.000 But a lot of people falsified their preferences about Trump to the point where they believed it. 0.61

00:22:17.000 Like it drove them, if you live in crazy town for long enough, you go crazy.

00:22:21.000 I mentioned this the other day a couple times, a video of a woman asking three women, what is a woman?

00:22:26.000 And I think it was meant while she responded, these women all clearly know what a woman is, but they're trying to reconcile the definition with what they're allowed to say. 1.00

00:22:34.000 That's right.

00:22:34.000 Yeah.

00:22:35.000 So it's like definition falsification or something.

00:22:38.000 A lot of people miss, by the way, the big point of what is a woman.

00:22:42.000 A lot of people don't understand what that's about.

00:22:44.000 And just to point out, Kentonji Brown-Jackson actually told us when Marshall Blackburn caught her out, said, what is a woman?

00:22:51.000 She said, I don't know.

00:22:52.000 Do I look like a biologist or whatever it was she said exactly about invoking an expert?

00:22:56.000 What she said is, I can't answer that question without asking an expert.

00:23:00.000 Yeah.

00:23:00.000 In other words, we can't answer simple questions about reality without an expert telling us what the right answer is.

00:23:05.000 And that's scary as hell because that's super power grab territory, right?

00:23:10.000 And that's exactly what they are doing by undermining definitions, by undermining people's ability to say what's real and not real or, you know, use words and have them mean things.

00:23:19.000 You mentioned this woman on the plane, right?

00:23:21.000 You're saying?

00:23:22.000 Yeah.

00:23:22.000 And she said the raid on Trump went too far.

00:23:24.000 Yeah.

00:23:25.000 I'm wondering if there's a point where, you know, Sam Harris, let me slow down, go to Sam Harris.

00:23:31.000 He's got the most severe TDS I have ever seen.

00:23:36.000 That woman does not. 1.00

00:23:38.000 She's probably a normal person and just passively absorbs information and thinks Trump is bad because she's just hearing it.

00:23:44.000 But then when she hears something crosses the line, she made up her mind.

00:23:47.000 That's too much for me.

00:23:49.000 Sam Harris told us there could be corpses of children in the basement of Hunter Biden.

00:23:52.000 He wouldn't care.

00:23:53.000 And he compared him to an asteroid that's going to destroy the earth.

00:23:57.000 That's lunacy. 0.92

00:23:59.000 Like not only is that just on its face laughably crazy, but even if Trump really was Hitler and like the worst dictator possible, would never amount to an asteroid smashing into earth and wiping out all life as we know it. 0.93

00:24:15.000 Yeah. 0.95

00:24:15.000 Like bad dictator, bad. 0.95

00:24:17.000 We deal with bad dictator.

00:24:18.000 Certainly it's not an asteroid coming to wipe out the planet, rip through its core and blow it up.

00:24:22.000 He's speaking in hyperbole for sure. 1.00

00:24:24.000 I mentioned to you, it seems like he has like either he needs friends or he's got a group of insulated friends and he's in an echo chamber and he needs like people to listen to him and tell him when he's being an idiot. 1.00

00:24:34.000 Sam, you went too far that way. 0.99

00:24:36.000 You know, I know you were being hyperbolic when you said that stuff.

00:24:38.000 I I tried walking.

00:24:40.000 It's like he would have cared if Hunter had kids in his basement.

00:24:43.000 Of course he would.

00:24:43.000 I disagree.

00:24:44.000 Hyperbolic is like exaggerating something to prove a point, whereas

00:24:47.000 like that was a really strange thing to just state.

00:24:51.000 Like I don't think that qualifies as hyperbole because I think he's being

00:24:55.000 honest. What was happening is he said I wouldn't have cared if Hunter had

00:24:58.000 dead children in his basement.

00:25:00.000 I would not have cared in brackets as much or I wouldn't have cared.

00:25:05.000 I think it's simpler than that.

00:25:06.000 In brackets.

00:25:07.000 I see what you're saying, but I think it's simpler.

00:25:08.000 I think it's, you mentioned he's got a group of people he's trying to pander to.

00:25:13.000 He's doing this public interview.

00:25:14.000 He wants them to hear it, whoever they are.

00:25:16.000 And so he has to keep one-upping his position.

00:25:18.000 He has to be bigger, stronger, better.

00:25:21.000 And in this line of thinking, it's Trump is bad.

00:25:24.000 We must stop Trump by any means necessary.

00:25:27.000 In order to pander to those people, he has to constantly expand upon his position.

00:25:32.000 Now he's at the point where he's like, dead kids don't care, huh?

00:25:34.000 Just gotta stop Trump. 1.00

00:25:35.000 He's an ass toy. 1.00

00:25:36.000 It's kind of like how incrementally the Nazis started. 1.00

00:25:38.000 First they didn't like Jews, then they started taking their businesses away, then they started shipping them out, then they started shipping them to camps, then they started killing them.

00:25:45.000 Like how it incrementally got worse and worse. 0.94

00:25:47.000 So same with Sam's mind seems to have incrementally, according to what you're saying, is getting more crazy.

00:25:51.000 Now, imagine people in politics or the FBI doing that, and this is the story we have.

00:25:54.000 The FBI going like, well, we can't go after Hunter.

00:25:58.000 Oh, but Donald Trump, he had documents, even though he has, you know, like unilateral declassification powers.

00:26:03.000 Yeah.

00:26:03.000 You said something.

00:26:04.000 Did you see the thing that they put out that huge list of items?

00:26:07.000 And one of the things that was contraband was a, was a, I guess, an illegal cocktail napkin from the White House.

00:26:13.000 They had a cocktail napkin.

00:26:14.000 Didn't that Clintons like move furniture out of the White House? 1.00

00:26:17.000 Like this was like one of the famous things they had to return stuff to the residents.

00:26:21.000 They had moved stuff out.

00:26:22.000 I don't know.

00:26:22.000 We're not supposed to know anything about Hillary Clinton.

00:26:24.000 Nobody knows anything about Hillary Clinton.

00:26:26.000 I want to get your thoughts on this, James.

00:26:27.000 We have this story from Fox 5 Atlanta.

00:26:29.000 Marjorie Taylor Greene was victim of swatting at Rome residence.

00:26:33.000 Police confirm.

00:26:34.000 So this is a terrifying story.

00:26:37.000 It is.

00:26:38.000 A bunch of outlets have reported this is a prank.

00:26:40.000 A swatting, for those that aren't familiar, I think most of you are, but just in case, is when someone calls the police and says there's a violent crime currently taking place so that a SWAT team shows up to your house and potentially kills you.

00:26:51.000 People have died from this.

00:26:53.000 And it's horrifying.

00:26:54.000 I can't imagine.

00:26:55.000 There's a story about this guy.

00:26:56.000 Cops surround his house.

00:26:58.000 He has no idea what's going on.

00:26:59.000 He comes out armed. 1.00

00:27:00.000 The cops shoot and kill him. 0.99

00:27:01.000 Imagine, first of all, that guy being the victim, having no idea why the cops are at your house. 0.97

00:27:05.000 Then think about, you know, I'm not saying it's worse, but that cop, who was told there's a guy who had to murder his wife or

00:27:11.000 something we need you to save her life and he shows up and he's like i gotta stop this guy and

00:27:15.000 then it turns out someone tricked you into killing an innocent man talk about the nightmare

00:27:20.000 scenario that swatting is and they went after marjorie taylor green's house this is uh it was

00:27:26.000 look i'm gonna it was a trans activist The reporting was, they told the police that the reason they did it was because they oppose her position on trans kids.

00:27:36.000 Because Marjorie Taylor Greene recently introduced a bill that would make it a felony to give transgender surgery or medication to children. 1.00

00:27:44.000 So I'm curious too, James, because you talk about revolution and where we're at.

00:27:49.000 Where does this fit in with, you know, their power grabs, the power structures?

00:27:53.000 Like, what is this?

00:27:55.000 Okay, so just to mention, by the way, the last time I actually talked to Marjorie like a month ago, and this is exactly the subject, not swatting, but trans activism and the surgeries and everything to the children, is exactly what we talked about.

00:28:08.000 So it's kind of funny.

00:28:08.000 I like Marjorie.

00:28:10.000 So what's going on here is kind of an unbridled demonstration of being willing to step outside of the boundaries, the normal boundaries of society, in order to get your way.

00:28:22.000 So Marjorie Taylor Greene proposes a bill.

00:28:25.000 This is the way that we do things.

00:28:26.000 If the bill passes, the bill passes.

00:28:28.000 There are lots of bills that pass that people like or don't like on either side, and that's just the name of the game.

00:28:32.000 Maybe it doesn't pass, maybe whatever.

00:28:34.000 But the idea that you're now going in to do this act of intimidation Outright terror.

00:28:39.000 sends this huge signal.

00:28:40.000 Outright terror.

00:28:41.000 Outright terror.

00:28:42.000 Literal definition of it.

00:28:43.000 There's a few things, there are some things, but there are a few things scarier than the idea,

00:28:46.000 like you said, of armed, angry police officers thinking something is going on

00:28:51.000 that requires desperate measures, surrounding your house or whatever at 1 a.m.

00:28:55.000 and right in the middle of the night, you're asleep, you don't know what's going on,

00:28:58.000 and all of a sudden this is happening.

00:29:00.000 And so what this is, it's just another escalation in the kind of pattern of intimidation that we're seeing.

00:29:07.000 You know, what were they doing outside the Supreme Court justices' houses?

00:29:11.000 They were protesting, but then Judge Kavanaugh has a credible threat to his life involved with this.

00:29:16.000 And what do you have?

00:29:16.000 Well, it turns out, funny enough, you mentioned trans activists.

00:29:20.000 The exact same trans activist who got me kicked off of Twitter, the exact same one, Alejandra Caraballo.

00:29:28.000 Advocated for more of the intimidation tactics, intimidating of the Supreme Court justices, even in this environment.

00:29:35.000 The exact same one.

00:29:36.000 So what you have is people who are stepping outside of the frame of society.

00:29:39.000 They're breaking the detente of society to get their way, and they feel perfectly entitled to be able to do it because they've got some trumped up idea about, what do you call it, systemic or structural power.

00:29:49.000 While demanding that you stay within the lines.

00:29:52.000 Oh yeah, absolutely.

00:29:53.000 That's repressive tolerance again.

00:29:54.000 Or liberating tolerance, actually.

00:29:56.000 We saw this with the Gravel Institute.

00:29:58.000 After January 6th, the Gravel Institute tweeted that they supported the action, but not the people.

00:30:04.000 The people were the wrong ones to do it.

00:30:06.000 And they deleted the tweet.

00:30:07.000 People were like, you're saying that you thought that was good.

00:30:10.000 And they were like, yup. 0.99

00:30:11.000 And then they were like, y'all are crazy.

00:30:12.000 And then they deleted it.

00:30:13.000 Like, okay, maybe we shouldn't admit that.

00:30:14.000 That's the crazy thing.

00:30:16.000 You have people who are lucid.

00:30:18.000 They understand what they're doing.

00:30:21.000 They know how the machine works.

00:30:22.000 They know why they're claiming you can't do it and while they do it. 0.99

00:30:26.000 But then you have the dumb people who mindlessly march along completely clueless and don't care. 0.99

00:30:31.000 Sam Harris comes off to me like he is... 0.99

00:30:36.000 You know, what's the opposite of sentient?

00:30:41.000 Sam Harris comes off to me as the fulfillment of the critical theory magnum opus called Dialectic of Enlightenment, to be honest with you.

00:30:48.000 Explain.

00:30:48.000 So Dialectic of Enlightenment was this book written in 44 and rewritten and published again in 47 by Max Horkheimer and Theodore Adorno, the two kind of principal critical theorists of the era, And what they said is that, you know, you start off with the Enlightenment, you enter into this phase denouncing myth and entering into rationality, but what happens is that through the dialectical process of transformation of Enlightenment, rationality itself becomes its own mythology and you literally enter into this new kind of religious order of rationality that completely divorces you from being genuinely rational.

00:31:20.000 You're now operating within this myth.

00:31:22.000 And I read this book and I was like, this is insane.

00:31:24.000 This is just crazy.

00:31:25.000 And then I looked at Sam Harris and I was like, oh, okay.

00:31:29.000 So, maybe, what's the opposite of lucid?

00:31:33.000 Murky?

00:31:34.000 Clouded?

00:31:35.000 Well, so, the way I see it is, Sam Harris is... Dude, it's almost like looking through cataracts instead of lucid vision.

00:31:41.000 It's like he's got this fog in front of his eyes.

00:31:44.000 But I don't think that's the right way to describe it.

00:31:46.000 Hypnosis is a better way to describe it.

00:31:47.000 Yeah, that's a good way to put it.

00:31:48.000 Because even if your eyes are cloudy, you can be thinking clearly.

00:31:53.000 Even if your information is bad, you wouldn't say something is insane about dead kids.

00:31:57.000 He's in a state of like cult hypnosis that has stripped away his individuality, his agency.

00:32:05.000 And now he's just mindlessly droning along.

00:32:08.000 There are people like that, but then there are people who are fully aware.

00:32:12.000 They're breaking the rules and they know it and they don't care.

00:32:14.000 Like I mentioned, the Gravel Institute.

00:32:15.000 Oh yeah, totally.

00:32:16.000 Totally.

00:32:17.000 So this is something a lot of people don't really fully appreciate about our current moment is that we're actually not dealing with just politics at all.

00:32:24.000 We're dealing with, it's not even like the soul or the future of America.

00:32:27.000 We're dealing with two fundamentally different conceptions of what it means to be a human being.

00:32:31.000 I mean, down to religious roots of what it means to be a person.

00:32:36.000 And kind of the American answer kind of comes from John Locke, who, in essence, is like, well, none of us are God, so none of us deserve political authority.

00:32:44.000 So we're going to secure life, liberty, and property so people can think for themselves and disagree amongst one another, because we don't have all the answers.

00:32:51.000 And so the American system, really, the question is, who deserves political authority?

00:32:55.000 And Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, these guys meet together, and their answer, James Madison, were like, nobody deserves it, but we'll lend it to you under these

00:33:02.000 conditions. And that's called a republic.

00:33:04.000 But the answer, these leftists believe, fundamentally believe, Marxist style leftists

00:33:09.000 fundamentally believe that they're the only enlightened conscious people on the planet

00:33:13.000 that understand how stuff's supposed to work. So they not only should have political authority,

00:33:16.000 they're entitled to political authority. So they get to step outside of the rules because they're

00:33:20.000 fully entitled to have political authority over everything.

00:33:23.000 You want to read that one?

00:33:24.000 Yeah, okay. So it's pronounced Gravel.

00:33:27.000 Gravel.

00:33:27.000 Okay, the Gravel Institute.

00:33:29.000 When was that?

00:33:30.000 1-8-21, so January 8th.

00:33:33.000 Two days after January 6th.

00:33:35.000 Okay, got you.

00:33:36.000 But if leftists had stormed the Capitol, you'd support it, in scare quotes.

00:33:40.000 Yes, they are fighting for a good cause.

00:33:43.000 Fascists are fighting for a very bad cause.

00:33:45.000 This should not be difficult.

00:33:46.000 This is the thesis statement of repressive tolerance written right again.

00:33:49.000 That's exactly the thesis statement.

00:33:52.000 If we went down to the thesis statement of repressive tolerance in the essay, he says that liberating tolerance can be summarized in basically a single sentence.

00:34:00.000 And he says that tolerance must be extended to movements from the left and must be withdrawn from movements from the right.

00:34:06.000 Which is exactly why they never seem to complain about the Soviet Union or the culture revolution and these other countries that currently exist that are still communist, but they're always screaming Nazi Germany. 0.50

00:34:17.000 That's right.

00:34:18.000 That's exactly right. 0.90

00:34:19.000 The fascists. 0.96

00:34:20.000 That's right.

00:34:20.000 They never recognize that if you actually read Marx's different stages of history where you bail out of capitalism, you have your revolution and you have a dictatorship of the proletariat.

00:34:32.000 That's the next stage.

00:34:33.000 That's called socialism.

00:34:34.000 Socialism is actually a fascist state that is supposed to dialectically unwind to a utopia, which it's not going to do.

00:34:42.000 There's a meme.

00:34:43.000 And this female journalist, personality leftist tweeted, people often point out how socialism has failed in so many countries.

00:34:51.000 But if it doesn't work, you don't just give up, you keep trying.

00:34:53.000 And then someone respond, like, they said, like, like cooking, if you make a mistake, you just start, you know, try again.

00:34:59.000 And someone responded with like, oops, burn the souffle. 0.96

00:35:00.000 And it's a picture of Yeah, yeah, brutal murder.

00:35:05.000 Well, I mean, that is actually their idea.

00:35:07.000 So the idea is, I mean, to get deeper into the philosophy behind it, that you have this thing out floating in the world.

00:35:13.000 This is Hegel.

00:35:14.000 Okay, so Hegel precedes Marx.

00:35:15.000 Marx retools Hegel and makes it material.

00:35:18.000 Hegel's idea is that there's this literal concept of God called the absolute idea.

00:35:21.000 So it's the perfected idea, the absolute, you know, platonic form of how everything in the universe should operate.

00:35:27.000 It's the deity.

00:35:29.000 But we don't have access to that, so it splits into two sides, the theoretical idea and the practical idea.

00:35:33.000 The theoretical idea is our idea about it, our guess about it, our theory, or how we think the world's supposed to work.

00:35:37.000 The practical idea is how it actually gets implemented, usually through the state.

00:35:41.000 By the way, he said that the state is the divine idea as it exists on Earth.

00:35:45.000 And this is just to help you understand if you ever see the left start gloating about Praxis.

00:35:50.000 Yes, that's right.

00:35:51.000 And so the idea of praxis is supposed to bring theory and practice together again.

00:35:55.000 So the theoretical idea and practical idea are supposed to come together, which reinstitutes the absolute.

00:36:00.000 So the idea is that when you put the Soviet Union into practice, and 30-something, 40-something million people die, what you were doing is you were exposing the contradiction between the theoretical and the practical.

00:36:13.000 So what you're actually doing is learning more about why it didn't work this time, And so you thank those people, or in Hegel's words, I mean

00:36:20.000 literally, this is a quote from Hegel, history uses people and then discards them. So they

00:36:24.000 were discarded on the altar of the god of history, sacrificed to the god of history so

00:36:28.000 that history can move to its perfected endpoint. You should watch Full Metal Alchemist.

00:36:33.000 Have you ever watched it?

00:36:35.000 No, I know what it is.

00:36:36.000 I've seen like some parts of it, but I haven't actually watched all the way through, but I'm sure that this is going to relate because what Hegel was was a Hermeticist, which is an alchemist.

00:36:45.000 There's two anime, is it animes, that I recommend, or manga, Attack on Titan and Fullmetal Alchemist, because they directly deal, so Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, which is the actual, it follows the manga, And I know a lot of people out there, they might not be fans of any of this stuff, graphic novels or whatever, but seriously consider this because what it deals with is powerful elites who want to sacrifice the people for more power.

00:37:08.000 That's Full Metal Alchemist.

00:37:09.000 I don't want to spoil it if you're going to check it out, but it very much deals with this, how the population throughout history are sacrificed for more and more power.

00:37:15.000 And then Attack on Titan.

00:37:17.000 It's funny, someone posted a meme of Jordan Peterson saying you should watch Attack on Titan.

00:37:21.000 And it's not real, but if you're a fan of Jordan Peterson and you watch that show, you're gonna be like, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually did say it, because it deals with privilege and historical racism and all of that stuff in those shows.

00:37:32.000 So they're very, very interesting.

00:37:33.000 But anyway, I digress.

00:37:33.000 Believe it or not, I actually know a manga, and that's Death Note.

00:37:36.000 I actually know a lot.

00:37:37.000 Oh, amazing, amazing.

00:37:38.000 That one's cool.

00:37:38.000 That's so good.

00:37:38.000 That's really cool.

00:37:40.000 You know, I got questions about this.

00:37:41.000 Marcuse is the guy who wrote... Marcuse, yeah.

00:37:43.000 Marcuse, and this is the 60s.

00:37:45.000 What was the name of the paper again?

00:37:46.000 Repressive tolerance.

00:37:47.000 So they're saying that leftists should be tolerated, violence from leftists should be tolerated, but from the right, not even the thought should enter their mind.

00:37:55.000 Why?

00:37:56.000 That sounds out of balance.

00:37:57.000 Without a balanced right and left to function together, I would think that the system would fail.

00:38:02.000 Why?

00:38:02.000 Yeah, because they believe that what happens is that the system is inherently corrupt, and the system is inherently designed to reproduce itself.

00:38:09.000 And only the true leftist understands how to break free of what they called, literally, they called this the problem of reproduction.

00:38:15.000 so that society reproduces itself by all of its means and mechanisms. So only that which steps

00:38:19.000 out of the mechanisms of reproduction is to be condoned. So anything else on the right,

00:38:25.000 what you're doing is, you have an oppressive society, a repressive society, a harmful society,

00:38:32.000 a racist society, a sexist society, a classist society, and if you don't reject that utterly,

00:38:37.000 in fact, he called it the Great Refusal, Marcuse did, if you don't reject that utterly and step

00:38:41.000 completely outside of it. All you're doing is becoming complicit.

00:38:44.000 Doesn't this sound familiar to the world we live in today?

00:38:46.000 You're becoming complicit in those harms and keeping those harms going.

00:38:49.000 So in some sense, you bear moral responsibility for every act of racism that comes up later in life, in the world, for every act of, you know, capitalist exploitation or whatever that happens.

00:39:01.000 Later in the world, if you don't completely refuse the system, then you're complicit in that.

00:39:05.000 So they don't want balance.

00:39:06.000 They think that balance is a form of compromise that keeps oppression alive.

00:39:11.000 So you have to have a complete, he calls it again, the great refusal of the entire terms of the existing society.

00:39:17.000 And the question is, how do you solve the problem of reproduction?

00:39:20.000 And the answer that they gave was relentless criticism, problematization of everything, quite literally.

00:39:25.000 Marcuse says that it must be relentless negative thinking, and that negative thinking will become positive by actually freeing up the ideal society that is contained within the existing corrupt form.

00:39:36.000 And we go back to the alchemy.

00:39:37.000 This is alchemy.

00:39:39.000 A lot of people don't know what the religion of alchemy is about, but it is a religion,

00:39:43.000 by the way. It's a very old, many thousands of years old, religious view, and it's that when

00:39:47.000 in the act of creation, God co-creates himself and the universe, okay, the exact same instant

00:39:53.000 of creation, but he makes himself in the universe.

00:39:56.000 So every single thing, whether it's his pen or, you know, whatever, me, you, the crystal balls, whatever it is on the table, there's some aspect of the divine contained within that, but it's in its mundane form.

00:40:08.000 And so what you have to do is use the magical spells of alchemy to break open the mundane form of the thing so that the divine form can come out.

00:40:15.000 Lead is a mundane metal, so you have to do the magic spells, break open the nature of lead at a

00:40:20.000 metaphysical level, and then the seed of gold inside will transform the entire lump of metal

00:40:24.000 into gold, which is the divine metal. Death is the mundane form of existence, so you have to

00:40:29.000 break open and make the elixir of life that will break open the death and turn it into life,

00:40:35.000 which is divine. And the same thing is being expressed by Marcuse in these essays that he's

00:40:39.000 writing, especially Repressive Tolerance here, is that if you break open the form of society,

00:40:45.000 then what can happen is that the ideal divine version of it, heaven, or as Henry Drew,

00:40:51.000 I mentioned earlier, put it, the kingdom of God, As it exists on Earth, can emerge from the oppressive forms that are trapping it and holding it back.

00:41:01.000 Do they acknowledge that when you break open a society, it can also, you know, immolate or... I mean, they should listen to Gandalf talking to Saruman, because he's like, whoever breaks a thing to see how it works has left the path of wisdom.

00:41:13.000 That's... No, that's the problem, is they think that the world is intrinsically bad, right?

00:41:20.000 So this turns out not to necessarily be the Hermetic side.

00:41:24.000 If we go back to Hegel, what did he do?

00:41:25.000 He combined Hermeticism with another old religion called Gnosticism, an old mystery religion.

00:41:30.000 The Gnostics believe that being itself, we've been cast into a prison by the character in Genesis that gets called God, but he's actually the demiurge.

00:41:39.000 He's actually a demon.

00:41:40.000 And so he's not the real supreme being behind the scenes.

00:41:44.000 And so the whole of being is a prison where you don't get to be who you want.

00:41:47.000 You have to grow up.

00:41:48.000 You have a body you didn't ask for.

00:41:50.000 So maybe you have to transition.

00:41:51.000 Maybe it shackles you to having babies.

00:41:53.000 And so, you know, you have to be able to have infinite abortion. 0.64

00:41:55.000 You have to be able to transform your body.

00:41:57.000 This view that your very existence and existence itself is a prison and the form of society is a prison is the mindset that they're in.

00:42:05.000 So there's no balance.

00:42:05.000 And if all you do is burn down the prison, that's still better.

00:42:09.000 I've been leaving people in it.

00:42:10.000 This is fascinating.

00:42:11.000 I want to say, though, they're wrong.

00:42:13.000 Of course, they're wrong.

00:42:14.000 Life is a gift.

00:42:16.000 Yeah.

00:42:16.000 Body is a is we've been like, I look at it this way.

00:42:19.000 I saw a meme earlier and it was it was God and the devil and they were arm wrestling.

00:42:25.000 And it was some political cartoon. 0.99

00:42:26.000 It said only a fool would create his own enemy. 0.81

00:42:28.000 And then I responded with like, when we program video games, we make the villains on purpose. 0.98

00:42:33.000 Like your argument is, you know, childish.

00:42:37.000 But this idea of, you know, your body being a prison or whatever... When we play video games, you play a character which has limits.

00:42:45.000 It's enjoyable.

00:42:46.000 It is done on purpose for something we want to do.

00:42:49.000 You know?

00:42:50.000 You get a character, the character's weak, you make it strong, or you start... Like, how many women played Mario?

00:42:55.000 It's like, oh, neither a guy.

00:42:56.000 It's like, they don't complain that Mario can't turn into a woman or be a different character.

00:42:59.000 It's like, you play the game, you enjoy it.

00:43:01.000 Life is a gift.

00:43:03.000 It's not particularly long, but it's long enough in a lot of ways, and you get to experience this slice of existence, and that's unique, and that's magical.

00:43:11.000 Speaking of video games, sorry, I'll give you a second.

00:43:15.000 You ever play, like, so, believe it or not, I know last time I was here I was like, don't play video games.

00:43:19.000 But, believe it or not, I used to play video games.

00:43:22.000 And I played, I got really into, at one point, this Final Fantasy series.

00:43:26.000 And I was playing Final Fantasy X, which is that legendary, kind of, you know, epic story.

00:43:30.000 Everybody gets all excited about it.

00:43:32.000 And it turns out that the game is set up so that you can actually, you know, get these crystals, or whatever they are, and just keep making your character stronger and stronger and stronger.

00:43:40.000 And it turns out I was playing on my brother's account, or whatever, and he left.

00:43:43.000 He went out to San Diego for three weeks.

00:43:45.000 And I'm just playing, and I'm bored, like, just chilling every night playing the game.

00:43:48.000 And I made these characters, like, super strong.

00:43:50.000 So even, like, the little sissy, you know, weak magic users or whatever, they're not supposed to be able to hit with their stick very hard. 0.96

00:43:57.000 It would hit and it would be like all nines and kill everything in one hit. 0.97

00:44:00.000 And it's like he came back and he was like, what the heck?

00:44:01.000 The game's not even fun.

00:44:03.000 Yeah.

00:44:03.000 So when you go God mode in a game, it's not even fun anymore.

00:44:07.000 Exactly.

00:44:08.000 It takes everything away from it.

00:44:09.000 And so, yeah, this idea that the body is a prison completely misses the, uh, the give and take of reality and of life that makes life interesting and worth living.

00:44:19.000 It's a really a sad and miserable existence.

00:44:22.000 And I do have tremendous pity for people that are sucked into this kind of way of thinking.

00:44:26.000 Um, but ultimately I think this is where that the drive comes from.

00:44:30.000 Let's jump to this next story because, again, this all really comes together in interesting ways.

00:44:35.000 From post-millennial, Biden to cancel up to $10,000 in student loan debt, extend payment pause until December.

00:44:42.000 And there's also going to be a $20,000 forgiveness, which I believe is additional if you receive the Pell Grant.

00:44:47.000 They say, in addition, Pell Grant recipients will see up to 20,000 of their debt cancelled.

00:44:52.000 I read somewhere that it was actually in addition to, but I could be wrong.

00:44:54.000 Yeah, I think it's 10 on top of 10 is what I learned.

00:44:56.000 Is that what it was?

00:44:58.000 Someone wrote it was 20 on top of 10 and they may have been mistaken.

00:45:01.000 It was like a mainstream publication or something.

00:45:03.000 But anyway, this ain't it.

00:45:06.000 They're not actually solving the problem of student loan debt.

00:45:09.000 The predatory loan system will still exist.

00:45:11.000 All he's basically doing is giving a tiny bribe to people to vote for him.

00:45:14.000 But I think the bigger issue here that I'm interested to hear your thoughts on, James, is universities, these schools.

00:45:22.000 They are subsidized indoctrination machines.

00:45:25.000 And now, people are getting a freebie.

00:45:27.000 So it's like, they're continually subsidizing in more and more ways.

00:45:32.000 They want it to be free.

00:45:33.000 Well, of course they want it to be free.

00:45:35.000 Anybody who's sharing a cult religion wants you to come and experience it.

00:45:39.000 And if it costs money to support, they want someone else to pay for it so they can keep funneling people in without hindering themselves, right?

00:45:45.000 So I'm curious what you think about all this.

00:45:47.000 No, I mean, so this is, I mean, there's a whole thing we could get into if you want to about how universities back themselves or painted themselves into this financial corner they're in.

00:45:55.000 But with the students, let me just, like, take one step back and we'll come back into focus because it's going to hit both of the things we were just talking about or all of the things we've been talking about.

00:46:04.000 The agenda behind much of leftist activism, if you read Marcuse, Marcuse says in another essay, it's called the Essay on Liberation of 1969, the first chapter of that, it's an essay, but it's like 170 pages long.

00:46:15.000 So it's, back in the day, kids, we wrote real essays.

00:46:20.000 They weren't like, you know, 500 words.

00:46:23.000 Sorry, op-eds.

00:46:25.000 No, it's 170 pages.

00:46:26.000 The first chapter of his Essay on Liberation is a biological foundation for socialism.

00:46:30.000 And what he explains is that if you want to get socialism, you have to change the level of people's vital needs.

00:46:34.000 You have to change people in terms of what they need.

00:46:37.000 Now, he has a footnote that says, I don't literally mean biology.

00:46:40.000 So he's not literally advocating for eugenics.

00:46:43.000 And every time he uses the word biological, it has quotes around it.

00:46:46.000 So he means something different by it.

00:46:47.000 And what I finally figured out was what he means by it is that you don't know how to live life without getting your way.

00:46:53.000 In other words, psychopathology.

00:46:56.000 Literally the definition of psychopathology.

00:46:58.000 It interferes with your ability to engage in daily life.

00:47:01.000 So every bit of leftist activism that's followed off of Marcuse, which is basically all of this radical left since the 1960s, has at the bottom the goal to create the activists who are going to Not be able to figure out how to live their life without getting the policy change that they demand.

00:47:18.000 So in this case, you give all these kids crazy amounts of student debt, and what do they do?

00:47:23.000 They become agitators for student loan forgiveness, and eventually free college, because they want to have the free indoctrination program.

00:47:31.000 And so hand in glove, the colleges become the indoctrination centers, or actually the programming centers.

00:47:35.000 They're more like Maoist thought reform prisons than they are like indoctrination.

00:47:40.000 So you turn it into a thought reform prison and you get kids to demand that it be free because you put them in financial dire straits.

00:47:46.000 Now with the trans issues, the same thing. 0.95

00:47:48.000 Because what happens if you transition a child? 0.96

00:47:50.000 Put them on puberty blockers. 0.77

00:47:52.000 Sterilize them.

00:47:52.000 You cut them up.

00:47:53.000 Sterilize them, but what else?

00:47:54.000 Do you know how expensive, you know how many drugs and how much medical care they have?

00:47:58.000 And you have to take them for an extremely long time.

00:48:00.000 For like the rest of your life.

00:48:02.000 So what are those people going to advocate for at a policy level?

00:48:06.000 Uh oh! 0.99

00:48:06.000 Socialized medicine! 0.99

00:48:08.000 Because the medicine's so expensive and the system broke them and it's so expensive.

00:48:12.000 So what you're doing, history uses people and then discards them.

00:48:15.000 Sorry trans activists, that's what you're doing. 1.00

00:48:19.000 You're using these poor kids and you're going to discard them.

00:48:22.000 uses people and then discards them to get their policy agendas in place.

00:48:25.000 And in this case, you're going to create an army of people, among other things, they're

00:48:28.000 politically moldable, etc.

00:48:30.000 But you also are going to create an army of people who are going to advocate vigorously

00:48:33.000 for the rest of their lives for socialized medicine.

00:48:35.000 Just like these kids in college.

00:48:37.000 What's worrying to me about this is we talked about the detransitioner subreddit, where

00:48:42.000 you have nearly 40,000 people and constant posts from people about how they're becoming

00:48:45.000 suicidal because they were rushed in as and didn't want to do it.

00:48:48.000 Yeah, no kidding.

00:48:49.000 My whole response to the whole thing is like, whether someone is trans or someone is not trans and being pressured, we better slow that thing down before people start taking their own lives. 0.50

00:48:59.000 That's the last thing we want.

00:49:00.000 You know one of the main reasons that they're doing, there are a few, but one of the main reasons that they're pushing it so hard is because they need that army of broken people who are going to be pharmaceutical patients for the rest of their life, who are going to have expensive medical treatments, who are going to ask for and beg for socialist medicine.

00:49:14.000 I kind of feel that's a bit of a stretch.

00:49:17.000 I think there's a lot of factors at play.

00:49:19.000 There's industry standards.

00:49:21.000 There are.

00:49:21.000 There's money to be made.

00:49:22.000 There's money to be made.

00:49:22.000 There's money to be made in the short term too, in the long term as well.

00:49:25.000 But I think a lot of these people, like if you look at the mothers who bring their kids to these shows, it's like you've got Munchhausen by proxy.

00:49:31.000 But then you have parents who are genuinely confused and don't know and think they're doing the right thing.

00:49:36.000 Sure, of course, of course.

00:49:37.000 I think you'll find with most circumstances you have normal people being pulled in a direction.

00:49:41.000 Yes.

00:49:42.000 And it's a much smaller faction that are probably nefarious.

00:49:45.000 No, that's exactly right.

00:49:46.000 As a matter of fact, the vast majority of, say, the so-called parents of trans kids, and I say that so-called because I don't believe such things as trans kids exist, there are people who've been pulled into this, as you were suggesting.

00:49:59.000 But the parents, a lot of them were like... I gotta stop you there.

00:50:02.000 I think that's factually incorrect.

00:50:05.000 We talked about... There's an article from a PhD professor who talks about endocrine disruptors and hormone disruptors, which masculinized the brains of female fetuses and then resulted in trans kids.

00:50:15.000 How often is that?

00:50:17.000 So maybe they do exist?

00:50:18.000 Right.

00:50:19.000 1 in 10,000?

00:50:20.000 1 in 20,000?

00:50:20.000 Sure, sure.

00:50:21.000 I'm not saying it's 1 in 10.

00:50:22.000 I'm just saying, you know, for you to say you don't think they do exist, I think we've... I'll walk back to they're very rare.

00:50:29.000 Very rare I agree with, and I think the challenge is we have a system right now that doesn't discern between social and the actual... Oh no, they're not even going to try.

00:50:39.000 They're not even going to try.

00:50:42.000 Rushing kids into medical treatment which is going to permanently alter, and for many of these kids we're clearly seeing now at the detransition subreddit, ruin their lives.

00:50:50.000 Yeah.

00:50:50.000 Big mistake.

00:50:51.000 Because you dangle out, you tell them you have this huge problem, there's no real good solution to it, you're probably going to commit suicide if you don't get resolution to it, here's this treatment, here's this one path out, by the way this is how they did Maoist thought reform, is they put people under outstanding psychological pressure with a limited set of choices for how to escape that pressure.

00:51:09.000 And then they go into that, and then what happens is they get four or five years in,

00:51:13.000 and then whoop, the rug's been pulled out from under them.

00:51:15.000 They don't have any options to get out anymore.

00:51:18.000 The underlying problem never got treated.

00:51:19.000 My question is, how much of this is an emergent phenomenon versus a directed phenomenon?

00:51:24.000 Oh yeah, well, lots of money goes into it, so there's some directedness to it.

00:51:29.000 Some of it, though, this is what I was starting to say, a lot of these poor moms were kids in the 90s, right? 1.00

00:51:35.000 And we all grew up, if we grew up in the 90s, we all grew up with this kind of like boogeyman of, it was real, but there's this, you know, character that was really heavily portrayed as the, you know, the evil, angry, there's almost always an angry dad who disowns their kids for being gay, right?

00:51:51.000 And everybody's like, oh, that guy's terrible.

00:51:53.000 So you have a whole bunch of people who grew up in the 90s who had this character as like the big evil guy to think of.

00:52:00.000 Then they grow up and they're adults now and they have their children.

00:52:02.000 So what are they going to be?

00:52:03.000 Hyper-inclusive as like an overreaction.

00:52:06.000 Then you add in the Munchausen's by proxy, which is where, you know,

00:52:10.000 people don't know what Munchausen's by proxy is, I know you guys do,

00:52:12.000 but it's where you poison your kid so that they're like sick

00:52:15.000 and then you pick up the pity points, like, oh my poor child.

00:52:17.000 So for people who aren't familiar, Munchausen's is when you feign being sick for attention

00:52:21.000 and by proxy is when you feign someone else being sick for attention.

00:52:24.000 Yeah, often they did like drip feed their kid's poison and say, you know, Sally's so sick, oh my gosh. 1.00

00:52:29.000 It's like Sixth Sense, the mom was poisoning the daughter 1.00

00:52:33.000 and then going, my daughter's so sick.

00:52:35.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:52:36.000 And then they killed the daughter in that movie.

00:52:37.000 But this is a really important point too that I think argues for a potential emergent phenomenon

00:52:42.000 that we're seeing.

00:52:43.000 I've talked about this.

00:52:44.000 I said- Yeah, the boogeyman's grown up.

00:52:46.000 When I was little, we had all these signs everywhere about how racism was bad.

00:52:50.000 And so all of these millennial kids around me grow up being told about how awful racism is.

00:52:54.000 They have been trained to combat racism.

00:52:56.000 The only problem is we've enacted a bunch of policies doing away with the institutional problems.

00:53:00.000 I'm not saying it's perfect.

00:53:01.000 I'm not saying it's done.

00:53:02.000 I'm just saying for the most part, things are pretty good.

00:53:05.000 You know, like things have improved dramatically.

00:53:07.000 And now you have these people who grew up on this seeking it out, but they can't find it.

00:53:11.000 Yeah.

00:53:11.000 So I refer to it as an autoimmune disorder.

00:53:13.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.

00:53:14.000 Now, it's not really a question as to whether or not there are people who are taking advantage of this for, and these would be nefarious people, I just think they're relatively small in number, who are pushing this, usually with a lot of money behind it, for whatever other ends they have.

00:53:27.000 And if we might quote from the great philosophical epic, I guess legend of Game of Thrones chaos is a ladder and they know that causing these points of damage creates opportunity.

00:53:39.000 Now I don't think there's terribly many of those people, relatively speaking.

00:53:42.000 The proportion of them might be as small as one or two percent, which by the way matches the proportion of psychopaths in the underlying population.

00:53:49.000 I met, I knew a bunch of people from Occupy Wall Street.

00:53:51.000 I was down there for a while.

00:53:52.000 And what I was told by some of the organizers, people with access to the resources who knew what was going on, had plans and were controlling what was going on, they said, we want to flip the pyramid over.

00:54:03.000 Sounds good, right?

00:54:05.000 The pyramid, right?

00:54:06.000 You got the elites on top, you got the bourgeoisie, you got the proletariat. 0.91

00:54:10.000 So it sounds like, to the uneducated, to the unlearned, oh, you want to put the working people on top to give them control, right?

00:54:16.000 That's what socialism wants.

00:54:18.000 Well, I'm not one of those people.

00:54:19.000 I responded with, if you flip a pyramid over, it's going to topple into a pile of bricks.

00:54:24.000 And then there's only going to be one or two of the working class people on top.

00:54:27.000 And they're like, right, that'll be us.

00:54:28.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:54:29.000 They were not saying.

00:54:30.000 That's an entitlement.

00:54:31.000 All of the poor people will be on the top and all of the evil owners will be on the bottom.

00:54:36.000 They were saying, once we flip it over, it resettles into a new pyramid with us on top.

00:54:42.000 That's right.

00:54:43.000 That's right.

00:54:43.000 Exactly.

00:54:44.000 And that's that entitlement we were talking about previously.

00:54:47.000 And of course, that attracts psychopaths because they know that there's a gigantic opportunity there and they can create that chaos to flip the pyramid over and arrange things so that they end up on top of that pile.

00:54:58.000 You know, I describe it, monopolization of power, centralization of power is bad.

00:55:03.000 you know, this new paradise society, in fact, made a very, very, very small, like,

00:55:08.000 hyper feudal society with a very small number of lords in the Communist Party.

00:55:13.000 You know, I describe it, monopolization of power, centralization of power is bad.

00:55:17.000 We have antitrust laws because we're like, this company got too big. Okay. Communism, 0.72

00:55:22.000 socialism, and any kind of authoritarian government system skips the process by

00:55:27.000 which power coalesces and just instantly snaps it all right to the center.

00:55:31.000 Yeah.

00:55:31.000 Okay, that's not good.

00:55:33.000 That creates problems.

00:55:34.000 And it turns out that the people it puts in charge are people who are good at accumulating power.

00:55:38.000 They're not people who know how to do anything.

00:55:41.000 Just people who are good at accumulating power and maintaining power.

00:55:43.000 Like I learned recently, I was talking with a woman from, she grew up in the Soviet Union, and her family was fortunate enough to survive, and it fell, and then they came to America in the 90s.

00:55:54.000 And she was saying, do you know why they made us wait in breadlines?

00:55:58.000 It wasn't because, they could have set up more breadlines.

00:56:00.000 It's like literally nobody had anything to do.

00:56:03.000 It wasn't that.

00:56:04.000 It was that if you waited four or five to six hours in line for your ability to eat dinner that night, you weren't doing anything else.

00:56:11.000 Right.

00:56:11.000 You couldn't go do something else.

00:56:13.000 I saw a really interesting meme.

00:56:15.000 Someone posted about, I can't remember where I saw it, they posted about how when they were younger and in school, The teacher, they were learning a history lesson, and the teacher all of a sudden snapped at one of the students and accused them of breaking some rule they clearly did not break.

00:56:28.000 Like, you are speaking loudly, go to the principal's office.

00:56:32.000 And then when the student was like, no I wasn't, the teacher said, does anybody else want to back him up?

00:56:37.000 Anybody else want to put their name in that and go to the principal's office with him, defend him?

00:56:41.000 And none of the kids said anything.

00:56:43.000 And she goes, okay, pack your things, go.

00:56:44.000 See, that's what I say.

00:56:45.000 But as soon as he left, she said, I know he didn't do anything wrong, but none of you would actually call out the fact because the authority told you and you were scared.

00:56:53.000 I'm glad that you made that point because that's why they say that the first person to stand up is, I mean, it does take courage, but they're not the one who has the most courage.

00:57:02.000 It's the second person who stands up because they know what they're in for that takes the most courage.

00:57:06.000 And then once you get over that hump, the third person that takes less, the fourth person that takes less and on and on and on.

00:57:11.000 And that's how, that's how courage actually works.

00:57:13.000 In a lot of ways, that's how I feel about Marjorie Taylor Greene.

00:57:15.000 I feel like she's a target for the Swattings because she is the one introducing legislation. 1.00

00:57:19.000 Like, she wants to declare James Revenge and Ruth Sent Us, which docks the addresses of the Supreme Court justices.

00:57:27.000 She wants to have them declared a terrorist organization. 0.55

00:57:30.000 This bill is not likely to pass.

00:57:32.000 She does have co-sponsors, but it takes the people who are starting to make this part of their central platform.

00:57:37.000 She is very brave, but we need more people to follow suit, and that takes a tremendous amount of courage.

00:57:42.000 I don't think you can, in the United States, declare an organization a terrorist organization.

00:57:46.000 She has a bill in Congress for it.

00:57:47.000 But I just think ultimately it just fails because it's a First Amendment issue.

00:57:51.000 You can charge someone with terroristic acts, specific things, which is what you would need to do.

00:57:56.000 So she would need to file, what is it, a referral to the DOJ on these people for the crimes committed.

00:58:04.000 However, kind of pointless because the DOJ knows they're doing these things.

00:58:08.000 I'll mention this too.

00:58:10.000 There are similarities to what happened to Marjorie Taylor Greene and what happened to us.

00:58:13.000 There are some similarities.

00:58:14.000 I'm not going to get into security because there's an active investigation in multiple jurisdictions.

00:58:17.000 But it was the day after Marjorie Taylor Greene was here that we got swatted the first time.

00:58:22.000 These people have not been brought to justice, but there are, as I mentioned, multiple jurisdictions looking into it.

00:58:29.000 I've given several statements and evidence, so it may be moving forward.

00:58:33.000 But we're going on now seven and a half months.

00:58:36.000 It was January 6th when we got swatted.

00:58:38.000 Now, it seems like it may be the same person, or a similar entity, going after Marjorie Taylor Greene.

00:58:45.000 Where is the DOJ?

00:58:47.000 Are they unable?

00:58:48.000 Because if they're unable, then we've got a very serious stability problem in this country if people can keep doing this.

00:58:53.000 Yeah.

00:58:55.000 And people know that this is how this works.

00:58:57.000 The people that game the system that you were talking about, they know how to game the system.

00:59:00.000 They know that the system can drag things out, that they can drag their feet on whatever.

00:59:04.000 And they can create that repressive situation where one side's strongly favored versus the other by dragging it out when it's one side and not dragging it out, acting quickly when it's the other side.

00:59:15.000 The FBI would not investigate Hunter Biden, but they're jumping at the chance to go raid Trump's house.

00:59:21.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:59:21.000 That's what I'm talking about.

00:59:22.000 That's exactly right.

00:59:23.000 And right before the midterm, too.

00:59:25.000 We're not going to interfere in an election!

00:59:27.000 Oh, the midterm's coming up?

00:59:28.000 Raid Trump.

00:59:29.000 Yep, exactly.

00:59:29.000 Amazing.

00:59:30.000 And now there's a lot of fears.

00:59:32.000 There's been talk about whether or not Trump would be willing to announce his run right before because of what will happen with the Republican Party and the fact that he's been raided by the FBI.

00:59:41.000 Will it make him look bad?

00:59:42.000 And now there's questions being raised.

00:59:44.000 I think Trump should just announce.

00:59:46.000 I think we saw from the elections the other day that the GOP desperately needs Trump to be actively involved, and Trump should not wait.

00:59:53.000 He should just come out and be like, yo, we're gonna run, and we're gonna start endorsing people.

00:59:56.000 I mean, he's been endorsing people, and his record is— I'll say this.

01:00:02.000 In 2018, Trump's endorsements were like 50-something percent.

01:00:05.000 In 2020, it was 70-something percent.

01:00:07.000 So far right now, Trump's at like 99, I think, is it like 99% success?

01:00:12.000 It's over 90.

01:00:13.000 I think it's 99.

01:00:14.000 And so the suggestion is Republicans lost in 2018.

01:00:19.000 Republicans made massive gains upsetting what was projected in 2020.

01:00:23.000 And with Trump's endorsements this successful, people are thinking that's an indicator that Republicans are going to win.

01:00:31.000 But we'll see, man.

01:00:32.000 The Democrats, there was a swing district, New York 19, Hmm.

01:00:36.000 I think in some ways that's what the student loan debt reminds me of.

01:00:39.000 Democrat won.

01:00:40.000 Hmm.

01:00:41.000 So I don't I don't you know people mentioned Myra Flores in Texas is like, oh, red waves 1.00

01:00:45.000 coming because a Republican won a Democrat district.

01:00:47.000 And I'm like, dude, the whole thing's flipped over on its head.

01:00:49.000 We don't know what's going to happen.

01:00:50.000 I think in some ways that's what the student loan debt reminds me of.

01:00:53.000 Like, this is a bid from Biden's administration to be like, remember, Democrats are good.

01:00:56.000 The Democrats give you things before midterms and it's just not quite as successful as they want to be.

01:01:02.000 I would think, and I'm not an expert in this, that if you really wanted to address the student loan debt problem, you'd make it easier to declare bankruptcy on student loans because it's almost impossible right now.

01:01:11.000 And that is trapping people in debt that you wouldn't carry except for the fact that you are told you have to go to college to advance to get a better career.

01:01:19.000 It saddles them with debt immediately while pushing them down a path that is not giving them any financial success.

01:01:25.000 I think we should forgive interest on all the loans and apply any interest payments made directly to the principal.

01:01:33.000 But you gotta pay back the principal.

01:01:35.000 That's probably right.

01:01:36.000 You got money, you gotta pay it.

01:01:38.000 The system itself is predatory.

01:01:39.000 And the first thing you gotta do, here's step one.

01:01:42.000 Here's the solution to the student debt crisis for all the left and the right fans out there.

01:01:47.000 First, end the loan system.

01:01:49.000 It's clearly predatory.

01:01:51.000 All the left clearly agrees, right?

01:01:53.000 They tricked you into getting these loans.

01:01:54.000 They're too expensive.

01:01:55.000 You can't pay them back.

01:01:56.000 All right, end it.

01:01:58.000 Now, for everybody's holding debt, interest payments, done.

01:02:01.000 No more interest.

01:02:02.000 Any payment you've made, that interest will be credited towards the principal.

01:02:07.000 You gotta pay back what you were given, but not the interest.

01:02:10.000 This is the best part.

01:02:11.000 People get their student loan forgiveness.

01:02:13.000 If you got money, you gotta pay it back.

01:02:15.000 Now, if you paid more in interest than you borrowed, we apply that as a tax credit on your taxes for this year, and it rolls over until gone.

01:02:22.000 So if you paid $10,000 in interest beyond the principal, then this year, that $10,000 goes towards what you would have paid in taxes.

01:02:29.000 So it's a big win for all of these student debt forgiveness people, right?

01:02:33.000 But if you were given $5,000 and you bought cheeseburgers and beer with it, And then you paid back half, we'll forgive the interest, and if there's still a thousand bucks left over, you got to pay that principal.

01:02:42.000 But the first thing, ending the system of loans seriously hinders the educational institutions, puts a big slowdown on that, and will help restore to only the people who truly can and want to go to college do If you want to get a private loan, you know, from a bank or something to go to college, that's fine, you can do that.

01:03:02.000 But the way it's set up right now with these federalized loans and grants and things, no, no, no, get rid of all that.

01:03:08.000 I mean, the academic institutions are, I'm sure we're all fine with this, but they're not going to come out well from this.

01:03:15.000 And the reason that these loans are the way that they are is because the academic institutions got walked, not just the students get walked down a primrose path if you have to go to college, if you want to get a good job, the institutions themselves did too.

01:03:26.000 When the federal underwriting of student loans came in in the 90s, They saw this gigantic opportunity to compete for students

01:03:35.000 that they didn't have before.

01:03:37.000 And this is when you saw this massive shift towards student services take place in the

01:03:41.000 universities.

01:03:42.000 So they're building rec centers, they're building bowling alleys, they're building movie theaters,

01:03:44.000 they're building fancy new dorms.

01:03:46.000 My dorm was literally designed by a prison designer and it was like 50 rooms for one

01:03:52.000 bathroom.

01:03:53.000 We all shared a shower when the janitors got mad because one guy went to the bathroom in

01:03:58.000 the heater in the bathroom so he got pissed and he took away all of our shower curtains

01:04:01.000 so we all just had to shower like crazy.

01:04:04.000 Here we are.

01:04:05.000 It was like, that was back in the day, man.

01:04:09.000 Things were different back in the day.

01:04:10.000 So they started building all these cool new dorms and all this other stuff, and they got massively, massively in debt.

01:04:15.000 Hundreds of millions of dollars in mortgage debt.

01:04:18.000 And so these, the strings, we're talking about the loans being given to the students, but there's massive loans that were given to the institutions too.

01:04:26.000 And then they were using the loans being given to the students to try to pay off those debts themselves.

01:04:30.000 Now what is happening?

01:04:31.000 The same financial institutions are playing this ESG game.

01:04:34.000 The social part of ESG, that's Environmental Social Governance, that's the S. And the governance is that you have to have the right people in places of power and offices and say diversity deans and things like that.

01:04:46.000 If you want to have a good score to have your finances managed by these exact same financial institutions, Then what do you have to do?

01:04:53.000 The same ones, by the way, you were going after with Occupy that were too big to fail.

01:04:56.000 Turns out they learned that they were too big to fail and could do whatever they wanted because they got bailed out.

01:05:01.000 Well, what are they doing?

01:05:01.000 They're now saddling these universities with insane administrative bloat.

01:05:06.000 So they can't possibly pay their debts either.

01:05:08.000 So what we're seeing is a recreation of the company town.

01:05:11.000 But the financial industry is the company and basically every large institution is the town and then people that are taking these student loans are just getting roped in for it.

01:05:20.000 I feel like the end result to all of this is not going to be what these woke people think.

01:05:24.000 No.

01:05:24.000 Obviously not.

01:05:25.000 It's an absurd concept.

01:05:26.000 But the end result is these big institutions that they're bloating are just going to crumble in on themselves.

01:05:31.000 They have to, in the end.

01:05:32.000 And, you know, what would you do if you had, say, this huge institution like the entire financial system of the world that's likely to collapse in on itself?

01:05:42.000 And it's leveraging everybody's pension funds to be able to do it.

01:05:45.000 They can't.

01:05:45.000 So those are all going to be what's going to collapse.

01:05:48.000 What would you work like hell to put in place if you could before the big collapse comes?

01:05:52.000 Why not a gigantic social control system like surveillance and social credit systems and

01:05:57.000 all of this to protect yourself so that you don't end up like swinging from a lamppost

01:06:01.000 when everybody's really, really, really mad that you wrecked the whole world's economy?

01:06:05.000 They can't.

01:06:06.000 It won't work.

01:06:07.000 Yeah, it's not going to work.

01:06:09.000 I pointed out how so much of our information is digital right now, that if the power went out, we would instantly lose access to all of these databases.

01:06:17.000 Oh yeah.

01:06:18.000 Oh yeah.

01:06:18.000 Yeah.

01:06:19.000 It's so fragile.

01:06:20.000 You had a bookshelf, power went out, you had books.

01:06:23.000 There was a funny meme where some guy was like, the future is lame.

01:06:26.000 My book just ran out of batteries.

01:06:27.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:06:28.000 Like I was on a plane and my book ran out of batteries.

01:06:29.000 What am I supposed to do?

01:06:30.000 Yup.

01:06:31.000 I mean, that's the end of space balls, right?

01:06:33.000 Even in the future, nothing works.

01:06:35.000 Yeah.

01:06:35.000 That's the line when the self-destruct cancellation button doesn't work.

01:06:38.000 It's convenient that my phone grants me the summation, uh, grants me access to the summation of human knowledge.

01:06:44.000 But, uh, when the battery dies, I got a brick.

01:06:46.000 Actually, have you heard about this idea that we're going to enter a new, historically speaking, not for us in the moment, we're not going to live through a dark age, but historically speaking, this is going to be a huge dark age because everything's digital, right?

01:07:00.000 So the thing I saw about it was like, well, if you write on a clay tablet, right?

01:07:04.000 If you scratch or, you know, cuneiform or whatever it is on a clay tablet, 5,000 years later, if it didn't break, you can still read it, right?

01:07:12.000 Well, if you put something on like a DVD, which is far better storage than say a thumb drive, which if like two drops of water hit it, all your data is gone.

01:07:22.000 You put something on like a physical medium, like a DVD, you got 10 to 12, 15 years before that thing can degrade enough.

01:07:29.000 Unless it's one of those really, really expensive ones that most people don't use.

01:07:32.000 Yeah.

01:07:32.000 So what's going to happen is we have all these records, like Is it wrong?

01:07:35.000 your Wikipedia entry, which we, my Wikipedia entry, which is a, which is lit.

01:07:40.000 They're all just ephemeral.

01:07:42.000 Is it wrong?

01:07:43.000 Well, sometimes it changes a lot.

01:07:46.000 Um, I think it's a little bit wrong. 0.83

01:07:48.000 Um, at one point though, uh, somebody added that I have gigantic balls made of

01:07:54.000 brass, and that was a sentence on my Wikipedia for about like four days.

01:07:58.000 And it's wrong because it's titanium.

01:08:00.000 That's right.

01:08:01.000 The gigantic part is correct.

01:08:02.000 The metal part is correct.

01:08:03.000 They got the metal all wrong.

01:08:05.000 Grass is too soft.

01:08:06.000 Sorry about that.

01:08:07.000 And it turns things green.

01:08:08.000 I thought I was on to something.

01:08:10.000 No, but I was talking about this the other day.

01:08:11.000 That if we got hit by that solar flare that they've been talking about.

01:08:15.000 Well, we almost did.

01:08:17.000 Well, you'd walk into a... People would, like, wearing their, you know, leathers with spears and paint on their faces, they'd walk into a Manhattan data center and be like, kids, look.

01:08:29.000 Knowledge.

01:08:30.000 It could teach us how to find food, how to generate electricity, but we have no idea how to access any of it.

01:08:37.000 Yeah.

01:08:38.000 So it's gone.

01:08:38.000 We almost did.

01:08:39.000 I don't know if you knew that.

01:08:40.000 It was like 2004 or 5.

01:08:41.000 We'd have to look up the date.

01:08:43.000 There was like the solar flare that would have destroyed, yeah, a big CME that would have been like it for our entire grid, right?

01:08:52.000 And the way, you know, everything's spinning, the sun's spinning, the earth is moving.

01:08:57.000 It missed by like, if the sun had blown up like 16 hours earlier, it would have been a direct hit and fried earth.

01:09:03.000 Wow.

01:09:04.000 And that's how much it missed by.

01:09:05.000 It went off into space beside the Earth.

01:09:07.000 The Earth just barely missed it.

01:09:09.000 But you know the U.S.

01:09:10.000 government's got deep underground bunkers with Faraday cage under Faraday cage and protection from nuclear blasts and all that stuff.

01:09:16.000 Yeah, all your nudes are definitely in those bunkers that Google's been storing up.

01:09:20.000 You think I'm joking.

01:09:21.000 Have you played the game Fallout 3?

01:09:23.000 No.

01:09:24.000 You'd love it.

01:09:26.000 Fallout 3 is one of the best in the Fallout series, but it's post-apocalyptic and you're in Washington, D.C.

01:09:30.000 A nuclear war happened and now there's mutants and ghouls.

01:09:34.000 They're people with radiation sickness and stuff.

01:09:37.000 It's a real map of D.C.

01:09:38.000 It's amazing.

01:09:39.000 But there's the bad guys, or an element of what you could describe as bad guys, the Enclave.

01:09:43.000 Remnants of the U.S. 0.51

01:09:44.000 government who have technology because they were in bunkers.

01:09:48.000 And then there's other people who have technology too, but they're like, you know, the remnants of the U.S.

01:09:52.000 government.

01:09:52.000 So if there was to be a major EMP, nuclear war, or some kind of apocalypse, whatever, the governments of the world will survive it.

01:10:01.000 Yeah, it's a shadow government.

01:10:02.000 I asked Alex Jones what's the difference between the deep state and the shadow government a couple years ago.

01:10:06.000 Before I learned more about the administrative state actually being the deep state, he was like, the shadow government's in case there's a nuclear war.

01:10:11.000 They're all ready for it.

01:10:13.000 That was a good impression.

01:10:14.000 It wasn't too bad.

01:10:15.000 Yeah, you got down there.

01:10:16.000 You got deep.

01:10:17.000 Oh, thanks.

01:10:18.000 Yeah, that was pretty good.

01:10:19.000 Deep and kind of gravelly.

01:10:20.000 Yeah, a little gravelly.

01:10:21.000 Real serious.

01:10:22.000 Real serious.

01:10:24.000 Well, the hard drives were evolving to do hard drives made out of glass.

01:10:29.000 So if there's an EMP, you'll still be able to hit it with a laser and read the data.

01:10:31.000 And also DNA.

01:10:33.000 They're storing data in DNA.

01:10:34.000 That's terrifying.

01:10:35.000 So there have been weird conspiracies about quartz crystal as data storage or energy storage and stuff like that.

01:10:41.000 And it's entirely possible that there exists, maybe you're a fan of ancient aliens or whatever, It's possible.

01:10:49.000 I'm not saying it's likely or even remotely likely, but there could be ancient data storage tech that we just assume is a rock, and we would never know.

01:10:56.000 If you gave a hard drive to an Amazon tribe with no contact with other civilization, they wouldn't know what it was.

01:11:04.000 You couldn't even explain to them how the information is on there.

01:11:07.000 No, not even close.

01:11:08.000 I like the idea that in the future men are proposing with rings that actually store all of the most important data that they have, and then they have to trust that this woman is not going to lose it.

01:11:17.000 That's how strong your bond in marriage has to be.

01:11:20.000 I think where we're headed is that the woke people are going to line up for Neuralink and enter the metaverse, and that's where they're going to be.

01:11:28.000 And they're going to drag everybody else in.

01:11:30.000 I mean, that's, I think, the attempt.

01:11:32.000 There's actually a policy document from the World Economic Forum.

01:11:35.000 It's their Vision 2025 document that I read the other day.

01:11:38.000 I read such fun things.

01:11:39.000 And I'm reading through all of these, you know, different visions, like education and technology and all of this.

01:11:44.000 And then I'm starting to read, like, comparing against some of the different articles they put out that they cite.

01:11:49.000 and there's this article that they put out that said that EdTech has failed their vision.

01:11:54.000 Like they wrote a lot of stuff back in like 16 about how important it was for EdTech to

01:11:58.000 rise up and do social emotional learning and literally like read kids emotions with like

01:12:02.000 heart monitors and eye tracking and like all this crazy stuff.

01:12:06.000 That's happening by the way.

01:12:07.000 In Florida they're actually doing an experiment in some counties with what they call heart

01:12:10.000 math.

01:12:11.000 So while you do your math lesson you're strapped into a heart rate monitor to find out what

01:12:13.000 stresses you out about the math lesson.

01:12:15.000 Like, I don't want any company having that data by the way, but I'm reading this thing and it's like, well what we're learning is that you can bring education into the metaverse but not the other way around.

01:12:26.000 And so the goal will be that school is in the metaverse.

01:12:28.000 Like, if you want your kid to go to school, they're going to have to slap on a Facebook-owned Oculus and go into the metaverse and, you know, who knows what's going on in there.

01:12:37.000 And you think you're going to be able to look over your kid's shoulder and see what's happening on the iPad.

01:12:41.000 No, it's going to be in the metaverse.

01:12:43.000 They're talking about digital travel in that document, you know, so nobody's going anywhere.

01:12:47.000 The plebs have to go to meta-Rome. 1.00

01:12:50.000 Only the real rich and famous can go to Rome.

01:12:53.000 Uh for real, for example.

01:12:54.000 And so they're actually talking about this though.

01:12:56.000 The travel industry's way deep into virtual travel.

01:12:59.000 Could you imagine like signing up for a cruise and really all you do is put you in like a classroom with like a drop ceiling and then you put your goggles on and you pretend you're at sea?

01:13:07.000 Yeah, have you ever seen those?

01:13:09.000 They have these things you can buy where it's like a body harness and you're standing on a bowl and you put on special shoes and you can actually walk by like The shoes are touch sensitive or whatever so when you walk you're actually walking in the metaverse.

01:13:22.000 I went to I was at I was at VidCon years ago, six years ago, and they had a big display

01:13:27.000 where there were two guys up on these things strapped in and they're running full speed,

01:13:32.000 but they're strapped in a body harness and you could watch what they see.

01:13:35.000 And they were playing a first person shooter against haptic vests and stuff.

01:13:38.000 So you can feel yourself getting haptic hands and stuff.

01:13:41.000 Right now, I think the biggest advances they made is they had a lot of different tech that

01:13:45.000 doesn't really work together very well to provide a mostly immersive experience.

01:13:49.000 But that will be a big part of it.

01:13:51.000 Yeah, they talk about virtual reality and education, but they also like there's another

01:13:54.000 document that's this paper called Psycho Data put out by actually a critical theorist by

01:13:58.000 the name of Ben Williamson, 2019 in the Journal of Education Policy.

01:14:03.000 And he's talking about that the actual point of all this is to harvest the data.

01:14:06.000 That's the real point.

01:14:07.000 And that what he argues, like, why are they harvesting the data?

01:14:11.000 Well, number one, they want to create perfectly forecastable economic conditions and people.

01:14:16.000 So they want to make you perfect for the market so they can predict exactly how much money

01:14:19.000 you'll spend and when, and then condition you to make sure that you meet your predictions.

01:14:23.000 And then secondly is to control populations.

01:14:26.000 So what it is is a gigantic data harvesting program to make you think you're playing a

01:14:30.000 video game or sending your kids to school.

01:14:32.000 And right now they're surveying the kids primarily.

01:14:35.000 They have to fill out these surveys all the time.

01:14:37.000 I just, like, school just started back, so all these parents are, like, screenshotting them and sending them to me on social media that's not Twitter.

01:14:44.000 And they are, it's kind of, like, freaky, the things they're asking these kids.

01:14:48.000 It's like, have you, you know, do you ever think about racist stuff?

01:14:51.000 You know, it's like crazy.

01:14:52.000 How often do you think about suicide?

01:14:54.000 They're asking kids questions like that.

01:14:55.000 Wow.

01:14:56.000 Yeah, it's intense.

01:14:57.000 And then, you know, how much money do your parents make?

01:14:59.000 There's all these crazy intense survey questions they're asking these kids all the time as a result of the implementation of social emotional learning.

01:15:06.000 It's almost like aliens are here, you know, in secret and they're collecting data and like researching us.

01:15:12.000 I'm saying almost like I'm not saying it's true.

01:15:14.000 I'm just saying it feels that way.

01:15:15.000 It feels like we're being we're like chickens in a chicken coop.

01:15:18.000 Well, I mean, so my guess is, is if we are looking at kind of a revolutionary moment, is that what if I were, if I were a communist, and I were looking at the situation, I would say, well, in the past, we've attempted to build out the society, right?

01:15:33.000 The economy, that was the Soviet Union, we built the economy and tried to force people to live in it, and it was a catastrophe. 1.00

01:15:38.000 And then in China, we built the people, we built all the revolutionaries, and this hasn't worked out the way we wanted it to either.

01:15:44.000 What do you have to do?

01:15:45.000 You have to build them both at the same time.

01:15:47.000 So you start harvesting the data while you program the kids and the school, and then you're building the society based on the data you're harvesting from the kids, the economy, the completely controlled and conditioned economy.

01:15:57.000 And then smack, when the metaverse is ready, everybody's pushed into the perfect simulation economy.

01:16:04.000 Well, you control what people can see and hear and say, and you'll control what their reality is.

01:16:09.000 People don't know what they don't know.

01:16:10.000 That's right.

01:16:11.000 I did a digital tour of one of the great pyramids of Egypt.

01:16:14.000 You can go inside and go down frame by frame and look around and look at the walls.

01:16:18.000 And like, I really feel like I was there.

01:16:20.000 Sometimes I'm like, I was, I, I forget that I wasn't in Egypt when it's, it was immensely awesome.

01:16:26.000 Yeah, so, I mean, that's immensely awesome, but then imagine what they could do with that.

01:16:29.000 First of all, how do you even, how would you even know if it's really the real thing, right? 0.97

01:16:33.000 So what if you had gone down, like, halfway down the thing, you probably would have been like, wait a minute, if somebody had, like, spray painted a giant penis on the wall, or something like that.

01:16:42.000 But they could insert that in, or it could really be there, and then they've deleted it, and you don't know.

01:16:46.000 but then everybody you know we always talk about the sell the dream side of this wow you know i had this experience i was in egypt i got to experience what it's like to win the superbowl kind of firsthand i get to be on the field i was tom brady it was so amazing they don't ever tell you that they could also just import you into like a torture prison Yep.

01:17:02.000 They don't ever tell you that part.

01:17:03.000 There's a movie we've talked about before where it's like this,

01:17:06.000 they invent this thing they put in your eye and it gives you experiences.

01:17:10.000 So this woman, she like drops it like nanobots go into your brain and then she experiences a 1.00

01:17:14.000 weekend in Aspen and she's skiing and snowboarding and then her partner against her wishes makes

01:17:20.000 prison nanites.

01:17:21.000 So, like, you put in someone's eye and they experience a hundred years in jail.

01:17:25.000 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

01:17:25.000 Five minutes later they wake up like, ugh, all messed up.

01:17:28.000 Yeah, totally messed up.

01:17:29.000 Like, I read this book.

01:17:30.000 It's called Thought Reform in the Psychology of Totalism by Robert J. Lifton.

01:17:36.000 And he was in Hong Kong in the 1950s.

01:17:39.000 He published it in 1961.

01:17:40.000 And what he's doing is he's actually interviewing people as they got out of Mao's prisons in the 50s, literally like a week after they get out of three years in a Maoist communist prison.

01:17:51.000 And he's interviewing these people, and he says that literally zero people, people were affected differently by the three to five years in prison in the Chinese thought reform prisons or brainwashing prisons, shinao in Chinese as they call them.

01:18:04.000 And, uh, but everybody was affected.

01:18:06.000 Everybody came out completely as, I mean, imagine, of course you would, but as a completely different person.

01:18:11.000 Um, and you could do that digitally.

01:18:13.000 We don't need gulags if you have digital experience gulags and you can't leave your house because, you know, you don't have enough credits like in Australia when they did the COVID.

01:18:22.000 And if you left your house, like a freaking drone is following your car or something, you know, there's, this isn't.

01:18:29.000 Just like hyperbole anymore.

01:18:31.000 You're familiar with the rat experiment?

01:18:34.000 Which one?

01:18:34.000 The hope experiment?

01:18:36.000 No.

01:18:36.000 Well, maybe.

01:18:37.000 Took three cylinders, put rats in each one, let them swim until they got tired, but within about 15 minutes, the rats gave up, sang to the bottom, and died.

01:18:44.000 Oh, yeah.

01:18:44.000 Then he took another group of rats, he put them in.

01:18:47.000 Right when they gave up, he grabbed them, took them out, dried them off, and let them rest.

01:18:51.000 Then picked them back up, put them in.

01:18:53.000 The second time around, they swam for 60 hours.

01:18:55.000 Because there was hope.

01:18:56.000 They believed that if they just stuck to it, they would eventually be saved, and they shouldn't give up.

01:19:01.000 And so some have made the argument, following the pandemic and all the insane things they did, we're still in it.

01:19:06.000 We're just in the hope portion.

01:19:08.000 And this explains why they built permanent facilities in, say, Australia and other places.

01:19:14.000 Australia's got this, the Howard Springs, I think it's called.

01:19:17.000 We showed you the shirt earlier when you were over here.

01:19:20.000 They built permanent facilities.

01:19:22.000 For what, six months?

01:19:23.000 Well, it existed before it was a place for mining.

01:19:26.000 Right, but I mean like, the work that they did organizing these facilities and setting them up, I don't think was just for six months.

01:19:33.000 Yeah.

01:19:34.000 Yeah, no.

01:19:35.000 I mean, I wouldn't think so either.

01:19:38.000 Let's jump to the story from Forbes, though.

01:19:40.000 This is interesting.

01:19:41.000 California expected to ban new gas-only car sales by 2035.

01:19:45.000 Terrible headline, Forbes.

01:19:47.000 What's actually happening is, as of, I think, today, they have implemented the first steps towards banning gas vehicles.

01:19:54.000 Vehicles will have to be zero emission.

01:19:57.000 I'm curious.

01:19:58.000 What do you think this is all about, James?

01:20:00.000 Is this climate change and we're trying to be better stewards of the earth?

01:20:04.000 Or is this some kind of communist conspiracy?

01:20:06.000 All right, there's an easy litmus test to find out if we're being better stewards of the earth.

01:20:10.000 There's a very easy test.

01:20:11.000 Are those cars going to be powered by electricity generated by nuclear power or not?

01:20:15.000 No.

01:20:16.000 Because if the answer is no, we're not being better stewards of the earth.

01:20:19.000 This is something else.

01:20:20.000 But it does mean they have easier control of your vehicle.

01:20:22.000 That's right.

01:20:23.000 Those, those vehicles are, um, in all the cases that I'm aware of, electric vehicles are remote controllable or they can be turned off.

01:20:32.000 Oh, dude.

01:20:32.000 So we, we, uh, I got, I got a Tesla and there's like a puddle of water and you stand back and on your phone, you can remote control the car with your phone.

01:20:40.000 And so I'm pressing the button and the car is backing away from the swampy muck.

01:20:44.000 And then I can get in.

01:20:45.000 It's amazing.

01:20:46.000 That doesn't mean someone else can do it.

01:20:47.000 Yeah, it totally does mean somebody else can do it.

01:20:50.000 And it probably means that, you know, if he so felt like it, Elon Musk could probably do it.

01:20:56.000 He literally could just do it.

01:20:58.000 Which means that if, you know, whatever manufacturer, maybe Elon is and maybe isn't, gets in cahoots with our FBI that's acting so well, then you could get in your car and it could just drive you right down to the field office.

01:21:10.000 Or into the ocean, or into a tree.

01:21:12.000 Maybe you'll get in your car, and then it'll start speeding out of control without your control, 90 miles an hour down Wilshire Boulevard, slam into a tree, because you were a journalist working on a story about a general.

01:21:22.000 Exactly.

01:21:23.000 I just think it's a funny image of Elon Musk sitting in a room, and then he walks up to a guy, puts his hands on his shoulder, and goes, Execute Order 69.

01:21:33.000 And then the guy's like, okay.

01:21:34.000 And then he presses the button, and all the cars turn on and start driving to Tesla HQ.

01:21:38.000 Yeah, it would actually be that.

01:21:39.000 It would either be that or it would be 42069.

01:21:41.000 I was going to say, it would be like, execute order 42069.

01:21:43.000 It would be like, execute order 42069.

01:21:46.000 And the guy's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:21:50.000 We all die.

01:21:51.000 Yeah, so that reference I made earlier, just a moment ago, was actually a real reference.

01:21:55.000 Michael Isaacs was a journalist.

01:21:57.000 He complained to a neighbor that he saw someone messing with his car.

01:22:00.000 Asked to borrow theirs, they said no.

01:22:02.000 Got in his car, car speeding down Wilshire Boulevard, slams into a tree, explodes, he dies.

01:22:07.000 That's right, that's right.

01:22:07.000 And he was working on a story, I think it was about, was it about Hayden?

01:22:11.000 Ooh, I'm not sure.

01:22:11.000 I gotta look that up now.

01:22:12.000 Yeah, you want to Google that real quick?

01:22:14.000 I remember that, actually.

01:22:15.000 That's right.

01:22:17.000 That wasn't an electric car, though, was it?

01:22:19.000 Nope.

01:22:19.000 But for the past, I think, you know, 15 or so years, cars have been remote controllable.

01:22:24.000 This is what people don't understand.

01:22:25.000 Cars that were not designed to be remote controlled can be remote controlled.

01:22:29.000 So these car hackers... I watched this thing, you know, we all knew that self-driving cars were coming.

01:22:35.000 These car hackers took over a car that did not have any remote control or self-driving capabilities because power steering can be manipulated by the computer inside the car.

01:22:45.000 Michael Hastings was investigating CIA Director John Brennan.

01:22:49.000 Brennan!

01:22:50.000 Oh, yeah.

01:22:51.000 And then his car went out of control on Wilshire and hit a tree and exploded.

01:22:54.000 At a high rate of speed.

01:22:55.000 He thought someone was trying to kill him.

01:22:56.000 It was like 1 a.m.

01:22:57.000 It was like 1 a.m. He left I think he left the bar and he was driving home and then just so he could have

01:23:03.000 Been hammered, but you know, he's also getting the head of the CIA. I mean a plausible

01:23:07.000 Niabilities the hell of a thing, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. No, I mean so this though. I mean this is absolute 1.00

01:23:13.000 control over over over the population you control of your movement if you're stuck with electric vehicles and

01:23:20.000 And all of this I am proud that I still drive a car that has like it

01:23:25.000 I mean it does have power steering but it's it has old-school like it has a key. There's no button

01:23:30.000 It doesn't even have like a key that like falls or whatever It's like a normal key from the back in the back in the old

01:23:36.000 old days mechanical locks or are they automatic?

01:23:39.000 They're automatic, though.

01:23:40.000 But that's what you gotta do.

01:23:41.000 But it's a standard, it's a stick shift, too.

01:23:43.000 It's a driver's stick shift.

01:23:44.000 Yeah, if you're prepping, you want a manual, like 1960s car.

01:23:49.000 No computer components in it at all.

01:23:50.000 That's what you, yeah.

01:23:51.000 Automatic transmissions, hard to fix.

01:23:54.000 If, you know, if everything fell apart, you'd be better off with manual.

01:23:57.000 Learn how to drive stick.

01:23:58.000 Driving stick is fun.

01:23:59.000 You know, it depends on if I'm going to, you know what I don't like?

01:24:02.000 I don't like driving stick when I'm just trying to relax.

01:24:05.000 It's like, eh, you're making driving a chore.

01:24:06.000 You know what I mean?

01:24:07.000 I don't like driving stick on hilly roads, like in San Francisco.

01:24:10.000 It's exciting.

01:24:11.000 I find that fun.

01:24:12.000 Because when I want to shift into first gear on a hill, I start to roll backwards.

01:24:15.000 I'm like, I hope someone's giving me 10 feet right now.

01:24:18.000 They don't.

01:24:19.000 I'm in East Tennessee.

01:24:20.000 I'm all over hills.

01:24:21.000 They don't.

01:24:22.000 They never do.

01:24:22.000 You've got about four feet.

01:24:24.000 So it's like really a rat like hectic when I'm hitting the the clutch to the gas and I'm putting it jerking forward.

01:24:29.000 It's the most annoying thing.

01:24:30.000 I'm sure it's happened to anybody who's driven stick that you're on a slight hill and then

01:24:34.000 someone gets right up on you.

01:24:36.000 And then you're like, dude, I can't release the brake right now.

01:24:38.000 And so you just sit there and they're honking at you and you're like, you're going to back

01:24:42.000 up.

01:24:43.000 I'm going to stick to them.

01:24:44.000 I'm going to roll backwards.

01:24:45.000 Yeah.

01:24:45.000 It's like that scene in Indiana Jones.

01:24:47.000 It's like, first you throw me the whip.

01:24:49.000 I can't.

01:24:50.000 I'm stuck.

01:24:51.000 So the thing about this is a lot of people are pointing out the green movement stuff is just about saving the auto industry.

01:24:56.000 That the auto industry is such a big component of the US economy.

01:25:02.000 Yeah.

01:25:02.000 I was reading that, like, most millionaires in the U.S.

01:25:04.000 are people who own local dealerships.

01:25:07.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:25:08.000 So, I mean, this is huge.

01:25:09.000 So what do you do?

01:25:10.000 Gotta make new cars.

01:25:11.000 But if people have cars and aren't gonna buy a new car, why?

01:25:13.000 What's the features?

01:25:14.000 Eh, not good enough.

01:25:15.000 Now you gotta make them do it.

01:25:17.000 California is just pumping their economy.

01:25:19.000 I just tweeted out a thing about Sweden that is building a road that recharges electrical vehicles as they drive over them.

01:25:25.000 Yeah, I was reading about that.

01:25:27.000 That seems real.

01:25:28.000 Well, it could.

01:25:29.000 I mean, you're talking about very powerful electromagnets in the street.

01:25:34.000 Yeah, like a third rail.

01:25:35.000 Don't walk on it.

01:25:37.000 I mean, what would that be like?

01:25:38.000 So, I mean, we have wireless charging for our phones, you know?

01:25:40.000 You'd probably be alright to walk on it.

01:25:42.000 But a massive one?

01:25:43.000 Are your keys gonna get, like, sucked up or something?

01:25:46.000 I think I just won't walk on that road.

01:25:47.000 It doesn't seem like it's worth the risk to me.

01:25:49.000 Didn't somebody build that solar panel road?

01:25:53.000 Yeah, I heard about that. 1.00

01:25:54.000 It's a terrible idea that makes no sense, but they did it because people are just dumb. 0.93

01:25:58.000 What's the status of solar roads now? 0.95

01:26:00.000 Solar road, really bad idea.

01:26:01.000 Solar roadways was the company that pioneered it, or was one of the most pioneered at the time.

01:26:04.000 They made a YouTube video that made no sense.

01:26:06.000 Yeah, it got really popular.

01:26:08.000 It's funny because they're like, we should make our roads solar panels.

01:26:11.000 It's like, why?

01:26:12.000 Because the roads are exposed to sunlight.

01:26:14.000 It's like, okay, why don't you just put the solar panels next to the roads on stands where they're not being run over by cars?

01:26:21.000 We'll make them more durable, right?

01:26:23.000 The material won't be, won't have enough, will be too opaque.

01:26:26.000 And so it will not absorb enough sunlight.

01:26:30.000 And then they get damaged and scratched and it refracts light and then snow gets on it.

01:26:34.000 Just make solar panels that can move back and forth and they're next to the road.

01:26:39.000 You'll save money.

01:26:40.000 Or build a nuclear plant.

01:26:41.000 Yeah, that too.

01:26:43.000 Why don't they want to build nuclear plants? 0.95

01:26:44.000 Well, because it's the way out of managed energy scarcity.

01:26:49.000 Fusion.

01:26:51.000 Well, fusion would be wonderful, but the claim is that the waste can't be managed or can't be managed safely or is politically infeasible, but that's not true.

01:26:59.000 Not true for fusion especially.

01:27:01.000 It's certainly not true for fusion.

01:27:02.000 The material inside the reactor becomes radioactive, but there is no waste.

01:27:11.000 It's literally water that comes out of it.

01:27:14.000 No, helium that comes out of it, sorry.

01:27:16.000 It makes helium.

01:27:17.000 It makes helium.

01:27:18.000 Which, by the way, helium is a limited resource.

01:27:21.000 It's amazing.

01:27:22.000 It's a win-win, big time.

01:27:24.000 But it's also a not-real-right-now thing.

01:27:29.000 But nuclear is the way out of the, like, if we see this as an energy transition period to where, you know, well, maybe we're moving away from fossil fuels and we have to go into something different in this more green or whatever, it makes every bit of sense to use nuclear.

01:27:45.000 So the best answer that I have is that it is the way out of them being able to manage the energy economy the way that they want to manage it.

01:27:53.000 And I mean, there are some difficulties with nuclear, but they're not, They're not like death blows or whatever.

01:28:00.000 Yeah.

01:28:00.000 You can't turn them on and off quickly.

01:28:02.000 You can't ramp up production or ramp down production quickly in cycle.

01:28:06.000 So there are some limitations, but you need like one gas plant to be able to like adjust for that.

01:28:12.000 Yeah.

01:28:12.000 And main baseline load can be covered by nuclear.

01:28:15.000 So it's like the escape hatch isn't there.

01:28:17.000 So this is why I use it as a litmus test, is if they're serious about it being about carbon

01:28:22.000 in the atmosphere, then they must be pro-nuclear, but they're very anti-nuclear.

01:28:26.000 And when you read the explanations for their anti-nuclear, none of them make sense,

01:28:30.000 which means that something else is going on here.

01:28:32.000 They're also buying beachfront property.

01:28:34.000 Something's really up because they were talking a lot about carbon footprint and reducing carbon emissions.

01:28:38.000 Then all of a sudden I'm like, well, actually we can pull the carbon out of the atmosphere, deposit it onto palladium, copper, gold, turn it into graphene.

01:28:44.000 There's other ways of turning it into graphene, the carbon dioxide.

01:28:46.000 You can actually mine the carbon dioxide out of the air.

01:28:49.000 And the methane as well.

01:28:49.000 You take the methane out, turn it into carbon dioxide, and then turn it into graphene.

01:28:52.000 Yeah.

01:28:52.000 I mean, I got all into carbon capture back like 10 years ago.

01:28:55.000 I was really, really into it.

01:28:57.000 Now the World Economic Forum is talking about nitrogen footprints too much.

01:29:01.000 Are these Dutch farmers, I think?

01:29:03.000 They're trying to shut down farms because of the nitrogen footprint. 0.93

01:29:05.000 Well, it turns out that there is a precedent to that that's very interesting, and we're going to go back into the conspiracy rabbit hole, because there was a book in 1972 published by the Club of Rome called The Limits to Growth.

01:29:14.000 that is a Malthusian book. It believes that the human population is in excess of what the earth

01:29:19.000 can actually support and it's only a matter of time until everything collapses. They predicted

01:29:23.000 we run out of copper in 2000, by the way, so they weren't that good with their computer models that

01:29:27.000 they did in the late 60s and early 70s. But in that book it actually talks about a that we have

01:29:33.000 to control the fertility rate so that we don't have too many people, but b that one of the easiest 0.98

01:29:36.000 ways to do is to control the food supply because if there's not enough food then there won't be as

01:29:40.000 many people because people won't make babies when there's not enough food to feed them.

01:29:44.000 And so then, what you can actually need to control is the levels of nitrogen fertilizer.

01:29:48.000 It's explicitly written in that book.

01:29:50.000 Now you think, well, what's the connection to this?

01:29:52.000 Well, in 1972, this book comes out, so what, right?

01:29:55.000 In 1973, Klaus Schwab invites him to speak in the third annual World Economic Forum meeting.

01:30:00.000 at Davos which when it was called the European Management Forum before it was called the World Economic Forum.

01:30:06.000 1974 they brought in a Brazilian communist priest Dom Elder Camara is this guy's name or Camara or Camera or something like this I don't know how to pronounce words in Portuguese but it's spelled C-A-M-A-R-A.

01:30:21.000 Elder Camara was the mentor spiritual mentor to Klaus Schwab he said after he met him and he was known as the Red Bishop he was a communist But he was also the mentor to Paulo Freire, who is the Brazilian Marxist educator, and it turns out also to Bergoglio, who became Pope Francis.

01:30:38.000 So it's kind of an interesting set of people that are all involved, but Camero spoke in 1974, the Club of Rome spoke in 1973, and you see this kind of mixture of this kind of, it turns out Marx hated Thomas Malthus and his ideas, but you see this kind of mixture of Marxism and Malthusian ideas kind of percolating through the World Economic Forum, but nitrogen

01:30:59.000 fertilizer and the buzzword of the book is sustainability, by the way. Nitrogen fertilizer and the

01:31:05.000 need for a sustainable world population is the thesis of that part of the book about farming. And so I

01:31:11.000 think that this nitrogen thing has probably other agendas behind it. Of course, it can... You

01:31:19.000 also... Which one was it? Was it Stalin or was it Lenin that said, if you control the food, you

01:31:23.000 control the people? Sounds like something Stalin would say. I think that was Stalin that said that.

01:31:27.000 And so... I don't know if Lenin was as murderous. I think... Do you think Stalin killed Lenin?

01:31:33.000 I have no idea. I think he poisoned him.

01:31:36.000 I have no idea. I do know though that if I were really bad people that operate in this really

01:31:43.000 bad people space...

01:31:45.000 not saying that that's what's actually occurring, but I would possibly consider manufacturing a famine

01:31:50.000 and then offer digital ration cards that gets you on your digital currency to buy food.

01:31:56.000 And then you would say that people like preppers who stored food and became self-sufficient

01:31:59.000 are people who hoarded food and that they're the cause of the food crisis.

01:32:03.000 And that you're gonna have a, what was Claus's quote, prepare for an angrier world.

01:32:09.000 And you're going to have a very angry world at that point.

01:32:11.000 You guys were close.

01:32:12.000 It wasn't Stalin that said, if you control the food, you control a nation.

01:32:15.000 It wasn't Lenin.

01:32:16.000 It was Henry Kissinger.

01:32:18.000 Oh, guess who?

01:32:18.000 The great architect of the West.

01:32:20.000 Also literally the mentor of Klaus Schwab.

01:32:24.000 Literally.

01:32:25.000 Look that up.

01:32:25.000 It's Klaus Schwab's mentor at Harvard.

01:32:27.000 He and Klaus must be working together to transition from the liberal economic order to a new world order.

01:32:32.000 They must be.

01:32:33.000 And that's the connection I've needed between the World Economic Forum and the United States is Kissinger and Klaus Schwab.

01:32:38.000 Look them up.

01:32:39.000 They're like two peas in a pod.

01:32:42.000 And it turns out that China is the model. 0.79

01:32:45.000 The Chinese system, with its surveillance, its social credit, etc., is the social control model for the world. 0.98

01:32:51.000 That's the practice run.

01:32:52.000 Which, by the way, right now seems to be, although it's hard to say because you don't know what's true coming out of their cracking a bit, people are not happy in the Chinese system right now.

01:33:03.000 So, scary stuff there.

01:33:04.000 He also says if you control the energy, you control a region.

01:33:07.000 I believe this is all part of the thing.

01:33:08.000 If you control the food, you control a nation.

01:33:10.000 That's funny that we thought it was Stalin and it's Kissinger.

01:33:12.000 If you control the money, you control the world.

01:33:17.000 I don't think so.

01:33:23.000 My guess is that he is what you would call an old Hegelian.

01:33:26.000 So Hegel's cult of science, or whatever you want to call it, of alchemy, split into two groups immediately following his death in 1831.

01:33:35.000 There were the young Hegelians, and Marx was a young Hegelian.

01:33:38.000 And then there were the old Hegelians, and they were kind of competing.

01:33:43.000 They were basically the liberal and conservative versions.

01:33:46.000 And so what the young Hegelians believed—just look at Marx, and you can figure it out—what

01:33:50.000 the old Hegelians believed is actually that the ideal system had been arrived at in 1830s Prussia,

01:33:56.000 believe it or not, that's what they believed, and that the goal was to use the dialectical powers

01:33:59.000 or method that Hegel had put forth to spread it around the world, which is what we would

01:34:03.000 call nation building if we were to say neocons today.

01:34:06.000 So my suspicion is that the neocons, why are the rhinos so much like the Democrats, is because they're actually both Hegelian in their orientation.

01:34:13.000 You have the old ones who believe that, I don't know, it's the end of history and the last man was the title of the 1989 book by Francis Fukuyama.

01:34:21.000 That you're then going to spread democracy of the American style around the globe.

01:34:24.000 You're going to do nation building and color revolutions and take over one nation after another in order to get there. 0.58

01:34:30.000 And then, on the other hand, you have the Marxists competing with them as two sides of the same program.

01:34:35.000 What is dialectic?

01:34:36.000 You've mentioned that a couple times.

01:34:37.000 You said the dialectic nature.

01:34:38.000 What is that?

01:34:39.000 The dialectic is the combination of opposites to lift up to a higher level of understanding.

01:34:43.000 So they'll intentionally create an opposition in order to get something to the next level?

01:34:47.000 Correct.

01:34:48.000 They call it sublation in Marxism.

01:34:50.000 Wow.

01:34:51.000 We're gonna go to Super Chats!

01:34:52.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button?

01:34:54.000 Subscribe to this channel and share the show with all of your friends if you really are a big fan.

01:34:58.000 And head over to TimCast.com for the members-only uncensored portion of the show that goes up Monday through Thursday at 11 p.m.

01:35:05.000 It should be really fun tonight with Dr. James Lindsay, who is here.

01:35:09.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:35:10.000 says, Tim, Chris never needs to speak again if this is the kind of content we'll get with Cast Castle.

01:35:14.000 Bravo, Reactor.

01:35:16.000 Hilarious opening.

01:35:17.000 The one-liners had me rolling.

01:35:18.000 Quote, just be careful you don't eat it.

01:35:21.000 Yes, the first episode.

01:35:23.000 The next episode is going to be really, really good.

01:35:25.000 I can't spoil it because they're all really funny, but Marjorie Taylor Greene was our guest, and she did a bit with us that's really, really good and extremely esoteric.

01:35:35.000 But, um, it's gonna be really funny.

01:35:37.000 And then, uh, we just filmed something with James, which is really funny, which I don't want to spoil.

01:35:41.000 But, you know, he was fighting chickens.

01:35:43.000 Okay, I think I just spoiled it.

01:35:43.000 Oh, yeah, you spoiled it.

01:35:44.000 But I didn't spoil it exactly.

01:35:45.000 I can only imagine.

01:35:46.000 I'm looking forward to this one.

01:35:47.000 This one's gonna be really funny.

01:35:48.000 I made lots of friends.

01:35:49.000 He made lots of friends.

01:35:50.000 He did, yeah.

01:35:51.000 He did.

01:35:51.000 I don't want to... I said too much already.

01:35:53.000 But, uh, but yeah, a lot of funny stuff is coming, and, uh, you know, appreciate it.

01:35:57.000 All right, Logan Culver says, James, your speech at OK University on, mm-mm, I gotta stop.

01:36:03.000 Logan, you said D-E-I?

01:36:05.000 I don't know what that is.

01:36:06.000 I know what D-I-E is, so I'll fix it for you. 1.00

01:36:08.000 He said, your speech at OK University on D-I-E, diversity, inclusivity, and equity, was amazing.

01:36:13.000 I've listened to Lysenkoism part more than a dozen times.

01:36:17.000 Everyone head over to New Discourses and subscribe.

01:36:20.000 Cheers to one of my favorite guests on IRL.

01:36:22.000 Do you want to elaborate on what that was about?

01:36:24.000 OK, yeah, so first, when you ask me to introduce myself, I always forget that I don't... I should tell people I have a website, which is newdiscourses.com.

01:36:30.000 That's the name of my company, that's the name of my podcast.

01:36:32.000 You should probably go to that.

01:36:33.000 And I appreciate it, especially now that I'm off Twitter, and I appreciate the support.

01:36:37.000 So, yeah, I had a guy, his name's John, or Mark Owsley is John Mark, is his full name, Owsley.

01:36:43.000 In Oklahoma, who arranged for me to go during their diversity, inclusivity, and equity week.

01:36:49.000 They had a week dedicated to it at OU.

01:36:51.000 He arranged for me to give a talk on the subject at the university during their celebratory week of the Marxist program.

01:36:58.000 And I just laid out that this is what this is.

01:37:00.000 This is a... Equity is the goal.

01:37:02.000 Equity is a rebranding of socialism.

01:37:04.000 It's an administered state that's going to redistribute shares to make citizens and groups equal.

01:37:08.000 That's socialism by definition.

01:37:10.000 Okay.

01:37:10.000 And diversity and inclusion are the mechanisms to create a set of commissars.

01:37:16.000 Diversity means diversity.

01:37:17.000 Hires for diversity who are experts in diversity.

01:37:19.000 In other words, people who are political operatives for the program.

01:37:22.000 And inclusion means that anything that upsets those people has to be excluded so people feel included.

01:37:29.000 Kind of an inversion there of the meaning of the word.

01:37:31.000 And so that justifies your censorship and purges.

01:37:33.000 And so what you're seeing is the sovietization of your university.

01:37:37.000 And so, yeah, I let it rip in that, uh, I really let it rip in front of that audience.

01:37:42.000 And anybody who wants to go find it, the audio is not awesome, but it's out there, uh, when I went to University of Oklahoma.

01:37:47.000 Just, just people, people really need to understand it's diversity, inclusivity, and equity.

01:37:52.000 For die, yeah.

01:37:53.000 See, I actually will make a case for D-E-I, because that spells Dei, which is God in Latin.

01:37:58.000 Oh, that's not an accident. 0.79

01:38:00.000 I don't think that's an accident either, but I do love when they throw J in there for justice and make it Jedi, because they're such dorks.

01:38:06.000 D-E-I is Latin for God.

01:38:08.000 It's, well, Deus and Day-E.

01:38:09.000 Yeah.

01:38:10.000 Day-E is though.

01:38:11.000 I know about, you know, Deus.

01:38:12.000 J-E-D-I. 0.83

01:38:14.000 Oh, what a bunch of nerds.

01:38:17.000 Yeah, sometimes they put an A in there for different things and it's Idea.

01:38:20.000 Oh man.

01:38:22.000 Oh yeah, or Jedi.

01:38:23.000 I keep trying to figure out how they're going to get Belonging and then something that starts with N, which I can't figure out what it'll be, and it'll be Biden.

01:38:29.000 Oh, yeah.

01:38:31.000 Help.

01:38:32.000 But justice, equity, diversity, and inclusivity.

01:38:34.000 Jedi.

01:38:35.000 They're like, don't you want to be a Jedi? 0.77

01:38:36.000 Yeah, really.

01:38:37.000 They're going to go for wizard next.

01:38:39.000 You're a wizard, Harry.

01:38:42.000 All right.

01:38:42.000 Monumental Madman says, Tim, fourth super chat, please read.

01:38:45.000 Brian Flowers is gunning for Benny Thompson's seat in Congress.

01:38:48.000 Would really love for you to have him on the show.

01:38:50.000 He's an America first Republican freshman on a mission.

01:38:52.000 Interesting.

01:38:53.000 Interesting.

01:38:55.000 OMG Puppy says student loans.

01:38:57.000 The Democrats are giving money to their voters and taking it from the Trump voting working class.

01:39:01.000 Also, hi, James.

01:39:02.000 Correct.

01:39:03.000 Yeah, I want to know where that money's coming from.

01:39:05.000 That's part of the speech he didn't talk about.

01:39:06.000 Well, no, no, it's fractional reserve banking.

01:39:08.000 The money is created upon issuance of the debt, of the loan.

01:39:12.000 They write the money into existence, instantly diluting the economy.

01:39:17.000 Paying that money back is good, for keeping things in working order.

01:39:21.000 But as part of this, reducing debt by 10,000 for every person,

01:39:25.000 meaning that they're going to print $10,000 per person and give it to the colleges or the

01:39:29.000 loan institutions? Or are they just saying, sorry guys, you're not getting your 10 grand back per

01:39:33.000 person. So the people, whoever loaned the money, which is for me, it was like Fannie Mae, Freddie

01:39:39.000 Mac, institutions like that.

01:39:40.000 Are they saying you're just, Fannie Mae, you're just not getting that 10K per person back?

01:39:44.000 Or are they saying we're going to print 10K per person from the Federal Reserve and give Fannie Mae the 10K?

01:39:48.000 That's actually a good, an important question.

01:39:50.000 That's a big, important question.

01:39:52.000 Yeah.

01:39:52.000 Are they, are they like federal loans where they're like, we're going to just forgive it and say, you don't got to pay it back, which does create problems on the system.

01:39:59.000 Or is it private entities that did these loans and they're going to pay them?

01:40:04.000 I want to know.

01:40:04.000 I wish Biden had told me in his speech where he talked all about it today.

01:40:07.000 Super helpful.

01:40:09.000 Falcon Laser says, James, what do you think of Event 201?

01:40:12.000 If you don't know what it is, Google it and read the first paragraph on the first link to come up.

01:40:16.000 I don't know what that is.

01:40:16.000 You don't know?

01:40:17.000 That's where they simulated the pandemic like two months before the pandemic.

01:40:21.000 Like October 2019, they're like simulating what would happen if a coronavirus pandemic, very specifically, were to break out.

01:40:28.000 And then what would they do to get all the messaging on par and like all Yeah.

01:40:32.000 We're lucky they did that.

01:40:34.000 It's so fortunate.

01:40:35.000 This is Johns Hopkins in partnership with the World Economic Forum and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

01:40:40.000 Yeah, it was just in time.

01:40:41.000 It was really remarkable.

01:40:42.000 It was literally just in time.

01:40:44.000 It's just nuts.

01:40:45.000 What do I think about it?

01:40:47.000 Huh.

01:40:48.000 I don't know.

01:40:49.000 Who is it in partnership with again?

01:40:50.000 Johns Hopkins in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?

01:40:54.000 Correct.

01:40:54.000 You know, I trust those organizations completely.

01:40:57.000 Wow.

01:40:58.000 Absolutely.

01:40:58.000 We're lucky they're working here to help us.

01:41:00.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:41:00.000 All right.

01:41:00.000 Dr. Roller Gator says, Hi, James.

01:41:02.000 This is Gator.

01:41:03.000 Are you done getting in trouble yet?

01:41:05.000 No.

01:41:07.000 Hi, Gator.

01:41:07.000 It's not even in caps.

01:41:08.000 It's fake news.

01:41:09.000 Sad.

01:41:10.000 I know.

01:41:10.000 I agree.

01:41:12.000 All right.

01:41:12.000 Let's grab what we've got.

01:41:16.000 Hashtag free Dr. Relegator so we don't have dead air.

01:41:18.000 John Kirsten says what people call double standard is actually repressive tolerance.

01:41:23.000 That's right, it's hierarchy.

01:41:24.000 It is, in fact, them flouting that they have the power to have a double standard because they're entitled to feel better than you.

01:41:31.000 So they get to skip the rules, and you get to have the rules.

01:41:35.000 It's hierarchy.

01:41:36.000 It's not hypocrisy. 0.58

01:41:37.000 So when you have all these Republicans that come out and be like, oh, look at the hypocrisy.

01:41:41.000 Actually, all they're doing is giving them a slap on the back, like, good job, guys.

01:41:46.000 The left is proud of the fact they actually do not your average wine mom.

01:41:53.000 Doesn't feel this way, but if you actually pay attention a lot of them fully believe that they are superior human beings What did what did Sam Harris say about the the the so-called deplorables or whatever first of all they're called deplorables What did he say there was like was it 10 million? 0.88

01:42:07.000 Absolute morons or something like that was his comment about what would happen if we didn't like condition democracy through fortification of Twitter or whatever like seriously James Eaton said, heard an ad on the radio that basically said not to do drugs because they could be laced with fentanyl. 0.60

01:42:24.000 Got me thinking about the poison during Prohibition. 0.99

01:42:28.000 Yeah, you guys know about that, right?

01:42:29.000 Yeah.

01:42:30.000 What did they do?

01:42:31.000 They put menthol or what?

01:42:34.000 I forget what they put in.

01:42:35.000 I don't know what they put in, but yeah, they laced booze with poison to make you go blind.

01:42:39.000 People died and went blind.

01:42:40.000 Yeah.

01:42:41.000 I think it's menthol.

01:42:42.000 Possibly.

01:42:42.000 Wood alcohol.

01:42:44.000 Oh, ethanol.

01:42:44.000 Methanol.

01:42:45.000 Methanol.

01:42:45.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:42:46.000 Methanol.

01:42:46.000 Oh yeah, I was going to say menthol.

01:42:48.000 Methanol.

01:42:49.000 Yeah, not mint oil.

01:42:49.000 Not the cigarette.

01:42:51.000 No, that's what Biden took out of the cigarettes.

01:42:53.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:42:54.000 Methanol.

01:42:56.000 Methyl alcohol.

01:42:58.000 There's ethyl and methyl.

01:42:59.000 Ethyl is like your Aunt Ethel. 1.00

01:43:01.000 You can drink with your Aunt Ethel.

01:43:02.000 You can't drink with your Aunt Methel. 0.95

01:43:04.000 There is no Aunt Methel.

01:43:04.000 That's how I always remember it.

01:43:05.000 And then ethanol and methanol.

01:43:07.000 Yeah, there's two names for the same thing.

01:43:09.000 There you go.

01:43:09.000 We got there eventually.

01:43:12.000 Zeril says, it's so simple.

01:43:13.000 All of this Luciferianism, only a path from the dark to the light.

01:43:17.000 Don't be caught up in the small steps.

01:43:18.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:43:19.000 It's the same story as in Genesis 3.

01:43:20.000 It is.

01:43:21.000 It really is.

01:43:21.000 Because it's Gnosticism, and that's what's in Genesis 3.

01:43:24.000 And that's what Lucifer, whether you believe in the Bible or not, or whether you believe in the Christian worldview or not, if you think of it as just a mythology, this is exactly what the myth is talking about.

01:43:35.000 What exactly?

01:43:36.000 Everything that's happening where, so if you look at Marxism as a theology, what it's doing, remember I told you about Hegel with his absolute idea?

01:43:43.000 Well, Marx believes that man can become absolute man that remembers.

01:43:48.000 So for Marx, I have to back up one instant, the idea exists in the head of man.

01:43:53.000 And so that's why he says that Hegel had it upside down.

01:43:56.000 And so you can have the absolute man who holds the absolute idea in his head.

01:44:00.000 So that man, which is all man remembering that he's a species being or a communist,

01:44:06.000 a being that lives for the species, actually holds the absolute true nature of mankind.

01:44:12.000 In other words, you can actually actualize man as God, and that the way that it works

01:44:16.000 is through powers like the state.

01:44:18.000 So in other words, occupying positions of worldly authority, because if you understand

01:44:25.000 the Christian worldview on it, God has absolute and true authority, Satan is excluded from

01:44:29.000 true authority, and therefore he occupies positions of false authority through deception

01:44:34.000 and antagonism.

01:44:35.000 And so the myth of what Satan or Lucifer represents is exactly characteristic of what Marxism

01:44:41.000 actually boils down to.

01:44:43.000 It's freaky how tight it is.

01:44:45.000 Have you read Revelation?

01:44:46.000 I have read Revelation.

01:44:47.000 I'm glad you didn't put an S on the end of it.

01:44:48.000 Right.

01:44:49.000 What do you think about what's going on today?

01:44:51.000 And people have drawn parallels between, you know, First of all, let's be cautious.

01:44:55.000 We should be very, very cautious with jumping into not the discussion of it, but of believing that now we're seeing end times play out.

01:45:02.000 The reason I say that is many times at other points in history, people have said this, and people have believed it, and they've read the signs, and they've been wrong.

01:45:10.000 Now, I would also suggest that I do, and I say this that I know this, there are people who have lots of money, have huge purses that are funding many of the things that are happening in the world that seem very nefarious.

01:45:23.000 You can look up, for example, Ronnie Chan and see some of the things that he's purchased

01:45:28.000 and funded, who actually believe it is they're in a kind of a Christian offshoot cult, and

01:45:31.000 they actually do believe that their objective is to trigger the rapture by doing the things

01:45:38.000 in Revelation.

01:45:39.000 And so some of these things may be coincidental.

01:45:42.000 Some of these things it could possibly be.

01:45:44.000 I wouldn't jump.

01:45:45.000 That's something that I think should be met with tremendous skepticism in general, of

01:45:49.000 course, without even dipping into the fact that I'm not religious, so I don't.

01:45:52.000 I watched an interesting lecture on it, and they explained that it may not be a prediction of the future.

01:46:01.000 It may have just been a description of societal issues that occurred that they were explaining, like, these are the things that happen when bad things are, like, when your society is falling apart.

01:46:10.000 Basically it was saying, of course many people believe it's prophecy, the word of God, it's a prediction of what's to come or how it will come, but it may have actually been looking at what had happened already and saying, here are the things that take place when your civilization is falling apart.

01:46:26.000 What is it, like frogs raining from the sky and stuff?

01:46:29.000 I don't know, no, I don't think of that.

01:46:32.000 No, there's like, in order to buy and sell you have to have a mark on your hand and forehead and stuff like that.

01:46:35.000 Yeah, and then, you know, the four horsemen of the apocalypse come riding out and, you know, visiting calamity on man.

01:46:44.000 And that could be metaphorical.

01:46:46.000 Yeah, it sounds like a fever dream, like a psychedelic experience.

01:46:50.000 No, no, no.

01:46:51.000 It's literally a translation of a translation of a translation that may be saying, like, hey, when your society starts breaking down, you're going to see famine, death, war, and these things.

01:46:59.000 And they metaphorically refer to them as the four horsemen.

01:47:01.000 Got it.

01:47:02.000 But then people read the stuff and they literally believe that there's guys in the sky on horseback going, ha ha ha!

01:47:07.000 They're picturing the Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

01:47:10.000 The thing is with people that are operating within that kind of alchemical mindset is that they actually do believe that they can take a road map like the Book of Revelation and manifest that thing in the world.

01:47:20.000 And so it's like, there are people who have read the book of Revelation and have decided that that is a strategy, a political strategy.

01:47:30.000 And it would not be surprising to see many of the features of that come into being if they've read that as an instruction manual.

01:47:40.000 Alright, Kent Uger says James. Do you notice any parallels between the US today and 1980s Soviet Union senile leader

01:47:47.000 and recalcitrant?

01:47:47.000 member states Estonia Latvia Lithuania acting a lot like Texas and

01:47:52.000 Florida it's funny because that's happening at the end of the the

01:47:56.000 Soviet Union as it's kind of winding down and Falling apart and it's kind of happening at the front end 0.89

01:48:03.000 of whatever is going on If the World Economic Forum is what we fear it is, and it

01:48:08.000 captures power, then we're at the beginning of a new super-Soviet, a USSA or whatever we 0.81

01:48:13.000 want to call it.

01:48:15.000 And we're actually- USSA?

01:48:17.000 Yeah.

01:48:18.000 United Soviet States of America.

01:48:19.000 States of America, yeah.

01:48:20.000 And so now what we're kind of seeing then is it's kind of playing its role backwards.

01:48:26.000 I don't know.

01:48:27.000 There's parallels all over the place.

01:48:29.000 I actually firmly believe that they're combining the kind of Soviet tactics, top-down control, 0.70

01:48:37.000 public-private partnership, et cetera, with the kind of Maoist tactics that are bottom-up

01:48:41.000 and cultural revolution.

01:48:42.000 So that's your bottom-up and inside-out transformations.

01:48:44.000 And I'm using those terms, by the way, top-down, bottom-up, inside-out, on purpose, because

01:48:47.000 that's when Van Jones was born.

01:48:50.000 The green jobs guy for Obama, that's what he went on TV and said, this strategy is top down, bottom up, inside out transformation.

01:48:57.000 We have control of the top down.

01:48:59.000 And he said, we need you guys to be the bottom up in the inside out.

01:49:02.000 I want to show a correction.

01:49:03.000 It's U-S-S-S-A. 1.00

01:49:05.000 United Socialist Soviet States of America.

01:49:08.000 Yeah, we need more S's.

01:49:10.000 But it's run by Klaus, so we have to use that Esset thing in German.

01:49:13.000 The what?

01:49:14.000 The double S thing that looks like a broken B. Oh, yeah, yeah. 0.99

01:49:17.000 It looks like a goofy beta from the Greek letters.

01:49:19.000 Yeah, I like that.

01:49:21.000 All right, Tyler Price says, yo, yesterday I searched for Timcast music on YouTube and the second search result was Will of the People by Muse.

01:49:29.000 LOL, love the show, keep it up.

01:49:30.000 Yeah, you know, we had talked about that a while back that the first song we put out was in 2020, Will of the People by Timcast.

01:49:37.000 You can check it out on YouTube.

01:49:40.000 And, uh, just recently, earlier this year, Muse announced their album, Will of the People, and their ad for their song is like a live-action remake of our song.

01:49:50.000 And it was just like the same name, the same color scheme, the same themes, the same illusions,

01:49:56.000 people with hoodies on pulling down the statue with an orange sky and throwing ropes.

01:50:00.000 Even the timing of how they threw the ropes, because we did an inversion trick

01:50:03.000 where it's like we showed the future and then the past.

01:50:05.000 They did too.

01:50:06.000 And then we were talking about how like we were working on this album with a bunch of songs and we do.

01:50:10.000 And I think ultimately we decided it was, we just want to do our thing.

01:50:14.000 Cause we were talking about, okay, well we're going to be releasing our album,

01:50:16.000 Will of the People, on the same time they are, cause their album's coming out on Friday

01:50:19.000 our song is being released.

01:50:21.000 But we just, there's a lot of things that came into play.

01:50:24.000 One, I don't care to be involved in any kind of whatever dispute it is they're trying to do, but now when you search for our song, you get Muse.

01:50:31.000 Like, I feel like that was intentional.

01:50:32.000 Like, that's, they're a major label band, they know that we had gotten several million hits, and there's a free ride coming, you know, whatever.

01:50:42.000 But you know what? 0.99

01:50:43.000 We're gonna do our own thing, and just steer clear of stupid drama. 1.00

01:50:47.000 No, I'm not. 1.00

01:50:48.000 I thought the song was kind of crap, dudes. 0.98

01:50:50.000 You guys, like, the beautiful people, the will of the people. 0.98

01:50:53.000 I mean, it's just a ripoff of Marilyn Manson, the song.

01:50:55.000 That's what everyone was saying.

01:50:56.000 And your color scheme on your song, Will of the People.

01:50:58.000 It's crazy.

01:50:58.000 It's not just the color scheme, it's our video starts with an orange sky and ropes hanging from a statue, and then people in hoodies are throwing the ropes over it.

01:51:07.000 And then the next scene changes to the statue not being pulled over, and then the ropes get thrown, like we did an inversion on the time thing.

01:51:13.000 And their video is, like, I would say it's 85% the exact same thing.

01:51:18.000 That's uncanny.

01:51:21.000 I don't feel any of that in, say, this political philosophical space.

01:51:24.000 Like, I certainly wouldn't ever believe that people listen to what I say and then, like, three to four weeks later put out, you know, basically the same video like they thought of it or, you know, write the same book like they thought of it.

01:51:35.000 It never comes up.

01:51:36.000 Nuts if that happened.

01:51:38.000 It would be crazy if that happened.

01:51:39.000 They released the promo like a, you know, they released the promo on my birthday, right?

01:51:43.000 They released it on, you know, two months ago.

01:51:45.000 Yeah, it was like your birthday or like the day before.

01:51:48.000 No, I'm pretty sure they released it on, uh, look up the Will of the People promo.

01:51:51.000 It's March 9th, I'm pretty sure.

01:51:52.000 June 1st is when the video went live.

01:51:54.000 Right.

01:51:54.000 The promo.

01:51:54.000 The promo, I'm pretty sure that was like a copy.

01:51:56.000 So this is the crazy thing where I'm like, dude, there's no way that was an accident.

01:52:00.000 The same name, same colors, same themes, similar characters, same time theme.

01:52:06.000 On my birthday, they release it.

01:52:07.000 It's kind of like, I'm a big fan, dude.

01:52:10.000 But it's things like that where it's like, should I believe we live in a simulation or are they just ripping me off?

01:52:14.000 I mean, ripping off is the less burdensome.

01:52:17.000 It's a more parsimonious assumption.

01:52:18.000 Yup.

01:52:19.000 Can I find the date?

01:52:20.000 Five months ago.

01:52:21.000 I'm pretty sure.

01:52:21.000 I think it was on Twitter.

01:52:23.000 You know, whatever.

01:52:24.000 Yeah, but I was like, wait a minute.

01:52:25.000 That was my birthday.

01:52:26.000 On what?

01:52:27.000 It's like a very strangely strategic time to do it.

01:52:29.000 There's no way.

01:52:30.000 It's not on purpose.

01:52:32.000 I don't know how that's an accident.

01:52:33.000 All those things lining up.

01:52:34.000 Well, I'm like, why that to you?

01:52:36.000 And the thing is now, like, if you search for Tim cast Will of the People, which we've been, you know, promoting, especially now with the release of the next song coming up, Muse comes up instead of us.

01:52:45.000 That was what they did.

01:52:46.000 It's like, okay, great.

01:52:47.000 Whatever, man.

01:52:48.000 Is it weird to have this major band trying to ride your coattails?

01:52:51.000 Well, I don't know, man.

01:52:52.000 I'm a fan of Muse.

01:52:53.000 But I think one thing is clear.

01:52:55.000 Let me rephrase, I never says, Tim's new single, only ever one of this, coming August 26th.

01:53:01.000 Man, the left is really, really reacting to this.

01:53:05.000 So we, but no, this is interesting.

01:53:07.000 And actually, I'm curious to get your thoughts on this.

01:53:09.000 So we put a promo up on Twitter and YouTube and Instagram, and it's got like 800, like almost getting close to a million views on just the promo, which is just really crazy.

01:53:20.000 But on Twitter, all these leftists are coming out and they're attacking it relentlessly.

01:53:25.000 My view is, you know, it's partisan.

01:53:27.000 They hate you, they don't care what you do or why you do it, they're gonna rag on you.

01:53:30.000 But one thing I think is that they're genuinely threatened by this.

01:53:33.000 What we produced is major label quality, general interest music.

01:53:38.000 It's not political at all.

01:53:39.000 That's a big threat.

01:53:40.000 When you make a song called FJB, that's fine.

01:53:43.000 It stays within the confines of the current culture war parameters.

01:53:48.000 No one who makes a song called F Joe Biden is likely going to convince a Democrat voter to support them because they approach them as an enemy.

01:53:57.000 So these Democrat voters instantly see it as a weird right-winger.

01:54:01.000 We made a song that is completely apolitical and just...

01:54:05.000 The promo came out and people are saying it's like emo or whatever.

01:54:09.000 I think that's probably a fair assessment, but the song itself is nowhere near that because that part is just like a small portion.

01:54:15.000 Most of the song is like ambient, soft, you know, pop.

01:54:20.000 I think it's similar to Cosmic Love by Florence and the Machine.

01:54:23.000 Okay.

01:54:25.000 Yeah.

01:54:25.000 Oh yeah, that's totally something.

01:54:26.000 I mean, I don't know, but that 100% makes sense to me.

01:54:28.000 by the fact that we here at TimCast are actively producing apolitical content

01:54:31.000 that will be attractive to regular people. Oh yeah that's totally something

01:54:34.000 I mean I don't know but that 100% makes sense to me because the idea that

01:54:39.000 you're gonna attract people who are gonna think wow you know this song

01:54:43.000 really hits I like it.

01:54:45.000 Who's this Tim guy?

01:54:46.000 I'm going to look him up.

01:54:47.000 Oh, he has a show.

01:54:48.000 I'm going to watch it.

01:54:49.000 I'm going to watch it.

01:54:50.000 Oh, wow, he's saying some interesting things.

01:54:52.000 That narrative control and keeping people in their silos is really, really, really a big important thing for them.

01:55:00.000 It's a very important issue to keep people, you know, to where, you know, well, Tim has this huge following and, you know, James has his following, but it's only their fan, like, keep it isolated, keep it contained.

01:55:11.000 And something that goes general interest, you know, it's really, I mean, it's like how viciously I got attacked when I'm Dr. Phil, because it's like all of a sudden I did something that hit, you know.

01:55:21.000 You're in the mainstream.

01:55:21.000 I'm in the mainstream, yeah.

01:55:22.000 Regular people are seeing you as normal and approachable?

01:55:24.000 I don't know if they saw me as normal and approachable.

01:55:26.000 Well, and I think the left sees themselves as the arbiter of art, right?

01:55:29.000 They have to be, yeah.

01:55:29.000 You guys can't produce art because, you know, if you're moderate or conservative, like, you're not correct.

01:55:35.000 They have to be in control of art, so the fact that you would make a song is threatening to them.

01:55:40.000 And it's not political.

01:55:40.000 You're using their material.

01:55:42.000 This is what they control.

01:55:43.000 It's that same mechanism, that's right.

01:55:44.000 It's because whoever the artist is, general appreciation, it gives you emotional feeling, you know, you connect to it, and then you're going to come back and see who created it, and you're going to find out what they think.

01:55:54.000 And that's something to be terrified of.

01:55:55.000 If you actually read their theory, even these essays I mentioned by Marcuse talk about the need to control aesthetics.

01:56:00.000 Aesthetics are everything.

01:56:01.000 Aesthetics are so important.

01:56:02.000 They really want to have control of art.

01:56:05.000 There's a big challenge, too, in how they paint people as negative things.

01:56:10.000 They say everyone's alt-right or far-right.

01:56:12.000 But what happens... So here's an example, right?

01:56:14.000 So I showed that tweet from Vosh where he was like, I make a million dollars a day.

01:56:17.000 Clearly he's not serious. 0.90

01:56:18.000 And then I tweeted something ridiculous.

01:56:21.000 There are people who immediately took that tweet and said, Tim Pool opposes debt forgiveness, even though I have never opposed debt forgiveness.

01:56:27.000 I have always supported student loan forgiveness.

01:56:30.000 I have always just had like, here's a practical approach.

01:56:32.000 I agree we should do it.

01:56:33.000 Here's how we can do it.

01:56:35.000 But they only ever respond to me as if I oppose it, because in their world, it doesn't matter if I'm for it or against it.

01:56:40.000 I am against the revolution, therefore I must be in opposition to it.

01:56:44.000 They want to lie about you.

01:56:45.000 They want to control the narrative of who you are.

01:56:48.000 What if, and I'm not saying we will, but what if Tim Cass Records someday, maybe Friday, maybe not, produces a billboard hit?

01:56:56.000 All of a sudden now, the establishment industry is gonna be like, okay, what is this song and why is it making the top charts?

01:57:04.000 It's hard for you to control the narrative when regular people don't care about your narrative.

01:57:08.000 When they're just like, I love that song, that song's so cool. 0.98

01:57:10.000 Yeah, but that guy's a fascist. 0.90

01:57:11.000 What? 0.99

01:57:12.000 Imagine if people were like, dude, don't listen to Post Malone, that guy's a fascist.

01:57:15.000 They'd be like, what?

01:57:16.000 Post Malone's great. 0.98

01:57:18.000 That's ridiculous. 0.86

01:57:19.000 You need to get into cultural spaces. 0.87

01:57:21.000 That's a big play that we're trying to do.

01:57:23.000 And The Daily Wire, clearly, with movies and everything as well.

01:57:27.000 All right.

01:57:28.000 Paul Fonkam says, PBS did a special where they got a hack to a hacker to hack into a car.

01:57:34.000 The only connection was Bluetooth device plugged into cigarette light to a cigarette lighter.

01:57:37.000 Yikes.

01:57:39.000 Yup.

01:57:40.000 That's crazy.

01:57:41.000 Joseph McFarlane says, all vehicles post 2009 have varying degrees of telemetry installed, which can be remotely interacted with even to your detriment.

01:57:49.000 No off switch.

01:57:50.000 Welcome to the future, ladies and gentlemen. 0.99

01:57:53.000 Jack Attack says, fools, nitrogen is not needed. 0.98

01:57:55.000 Plants need Brondo. 0.99

01:57:56.000 Cause it has electrolytes.

01:57:57.000 That's right.

01:57:58.000 Electrolytes are a plant.

01:57:59.000 You mean like water from the toilet?

01:58:01.000 Yeah.

01:58:02.000 Logan Davis says, Tim, you guys have to check out Sandman on Netflix.

01:58:05.000 Legit.

01:58:06.000 The death episode of Sandman is one of the best things I have ever watched ever.

01:58:11.000 I just, have you seen it?

01:58:13.000 No.

01:58:14.000 There's, there's annoying, like woke stuff.

01:58:16.000 It's like, whatever.

01:58:17.000 I don't really care as long as it's not, they're not beating you over the head with it.

01:58:20.000 It's fine.

01:58:21.000 But, uh, the episode on death.

01:58:23.000 Was a masterpiece.

01:58:24.000 Yeah, I didn't really care for anything else except for that episode.

01:58:27.000 That, I mean, it really feels like a short film that is so interesting and it's just worth the watch.

01:58:32.000 I can't say you should watch the whole thing, but definitely watch that episode.

01:58:35.000 I think if you, uh, if you, uh, have you, have you watched The Orville?

01:58:39.000 I know what it is.

01:58:40.000 You should watch it.

01:58:41.000 I should watch lots of things.

01:58:42.000 You should.

01:58:42.000 I keep telling everybody, I don't watch anything.

01:58:43.000 But so, so- I did see, uh, Idiocracy, though.

01:58:46.000 I think Seth MacFarlane has now done three episodes on why it's wrong to transition kids.

01:58:51.000 Or has he put out a new one?

01:58:53.000 Well, in this season, I think there's two.

01:58:55.000 And in 2017, there's one where they transition a baby and Seth's like, you want to perform a gender change, sex change surgery on a baby?

01:59:02.000 That's unethical!

01:59:03.000 And they're like, in my society, it is completely ethical and we should do it.

01:59:05.000 And he's like, I won't let you.

01:59:07.000 I won't let the doctor do this.

01:59:08.000 Then the kid grows because they lose because this culture is allowed to do it.

01:59:12.000 Then they do an episode this season where the kid's like, this is not right, I don't want to be this way, and wants to de-transition.

01:59:17.000 And so they agree, like, we're gonna help.

01:59:21.000 Then the next episode is the planet is trying to kidnap, they're trying to smuggle women off the planet to stop them from undergoing child sex changes. 0.50

01:59:28.000 It's like... You know the transitioning a baby thing is literally where gender ideology, or actually gender identity started.

01:59:34.000 That's what John Money did.

01:59:36.000 That's literally what John Money did.

01:59:39.000 Seth MacFarlane's parents taught at this prep school near where I grew up called the Kent School, and it was one of the early independent boarding schools to approve of an official trans student policy.

01:59:49.000 So I'm wondering if this is something he's seeing reflected in the school he graduated from.

01:59:54.000 All right, let's grab a couple more.

01:59:56.000 Tyler Price says, maybe Muse did it to try and send their fans your way because of the name and it was released on your birthday as a present, haha.

02:00:03.000 Sure.

02:00:03.000 Well, it created serious market confusion for us and makes it harder for people to search for the song, which they're telling us over and over again they can't find it because Muse buried it.

02:00:12.000 And it's crazy, I mean, the imagery of it, the color scheme, if I told you, hey I made a song, it's called Will the People, check it out, the image is like an orange sky with a statue being pulled down and there's people throwing ropes and hoodies, you'd go, oh okay, and then you'd find Muse.

02:00:27.000 That's amazing.

02:00:27.000 There's no way that was an accident.

02:00:29.000 That was a dick move, guys. 0.98

02:00:31.000 Anyway. 0.84

02:00:33.000 Waffle Sensei says, Hey Tim, kind of random, but I wanted to know, did you watch the new Dragon Ball Super movie?

02:00:38.000 It was so good, bro.

02:00:39.000 It'll take you back to the good old days.

02:00:40.000 I almost did.

02:00:41.000 I was at the, I was at a mall and they had it playing, but nobody else wanted to see it.

02:00:45.000 But, uh, I'm a big fan.

02:00:45.000 I'll check it out.

02:00:46.000 I heard its power level is over 9000.

02:00:50.000 All right.

02:00:50.000 Let's see.

02:00:52.000 Waffles goes on to say, but how do they procreate in Sandman? 0.91

02:00:55.000 The lore is amazing, but literally everyone is gay. 0.98

02:00:57.000 How do they procreate in this world?

02:00:59.000 That's actually a really funny point.

02:01:00.000 Um, in the show, I think, what is it?

02:01:03.000 80% of the characters are gay. 1.00

02:01:05.000 Well, gay men can have sex with gay women. 0.97

02:01:07.000 But I mean, it's just like, I don't know if that's how it is in the graphic novel or whatever, but I was watching it and I was like, okay, now hold on there a minute. 0.95

02:01:16.000 Like, I have no problem with, you know, when they have like a black actor play a character that was originally white.

02:01:22.000 Like, I don't care about that.

02:01:23.000 Actors can play whatever they want to play.

02:01:24.000 Unless it's part of the character's identity.

02:01:28.000 Like, if you're doing the Grand Dragon supervillain who's a clan member and you make it a black actor to play it, I'd be kind of like, hey, maybe that's not a good idea. 0.99

02:01:35.000 But if you make all of the characters by choice gay, then I'm just like, Why? 0.71

02:01:41.000 It's just weird.

02:01:44.000 I actually think it would be better if there were straight and gay people.

02:01:50.000 Representation or whatever, but it's weird when it skews heavily in only one direction.

02:01:55.000 It's not representation, it's overcompensation.

02:01:56.000 They feel like other productions haven't had enough gay representation, so they need to go out of their way to make sure you can see it.

02:02:04.000 I don't know.

02:02:05.000 Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, and share the show with your friends.

02:02:10.000 Head over to TimCast.com, sign up, become a member.

02:02:12.000 We're going to have an uncensored members-only show coming up at about 11 p.m.

02:02:16.000 You don't want to miss it.

02:02:17.000 And check out TimCast Records on YouTube.

02:02:19.000 You can search for it right now.

02:02:22.000 Friday at 12.01 a.m.

02:02:24.000 the music video will go live.

02:02:26.000 And if you're wondering why that is, it's because we're learning as we go, and that's when Billboard starts tracking music.

02:02:32.000 And I'm not, I'm not gonna come out and be like, oh yeah, we're gonna be top Billboard or anything like that.

02:02:35.000 It's like, no, but at least we're gonna, you know, make sure we're, you know, working in the system, how they track songs and doing all that.

02:02:42.000 So in the event we do release a good song, we can get more attention for it.

02:02:45.000 But I think it's a really good song.

02:02:46.000 I think you're gonna like it.

02:02:47.000 Carter Banks did an amazing job, and I'm really excited for it.

02:02:50.000 And then, actually, I liked it.

02:02:52.000 The version, the promo that we have up has a rock ending, you know, it's kind of heavy.

02:02:56.000 But we also do have a lighter version, which is going to be going up at some point as well,

02:03:00.000 which is more like piano violin.

02:03:02.000 And once you hear the song, it's like the promo actually doesn't do it justice because

02:03:06.000 it's a very, very different song.

02:03:07.000 That promo is just the ending of the song.

02:03:09.000 So I did.

02:03:10.000 I like I like some.

02:03:11.000 Yeah, it's like good.

02:03:12.000 It was like ambience.

02:03:13.000 Our first review.

02:03:14.000 Yeah.

02:03:15.000 Yeah.

02:03:15.000 The song is mostly just like good.

02:03:17.000 I liked the song, James.

02:03:18.000 Let's see.

02:03:19.000 I like the song.

02:03:19.000 It's good.

02:03:20.000 That's good.

02:03:21.000 That's fantastic.

02:03:22.000 And on the album, you know, ultimately what it comes down to is a lot of we've seen a lot of bands release political songs that clearly get play.

02:03:30.000 And that's good because it pushes back on culture.

02:03:33.000 But if we can start producing regular mainstream appeal music and it starts dominating, we're going to start shifting narrative control.

02:03:39.000 Yeah, the reason why Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Ohio was so good is not because it was about the Kent State shooting in Ohio.

02:03:46.000 It was because they were doing four-part vocal harmonies, and the melody is incredible.

02:03:50.000 What I'm saying is, just not to prattle on too much, if we can, you know, strive to be the best, and we start getting, you know, positioning in the music industry, it will force The culture to talk to us.

02:04:02.000 It will bring them to our corner where we get to share these ideas and it will appeal to regular people who will be forced into our corner.

02:04:08.000 So, I mean, one of their hypotheses is that everything's political.

02:04:11.000 So if you make something apolitical, they don't know what to do with it.

02:04:13.000 Exactly.

02:04:14.000 Falls right outside of their paradigm.

02:04:16.000 Oh yeah.

02:04:16.000 The lyrics are very, very simple.

02:04:18.000 It's just a song about, it's like, it's like a song about relationship.

02:04:21.000 Just your typical old song, like something like Adele would write.

02:04:24.000 Anyway, James, you want to shout anything out?

02:04:26.000 Yeah, since I'm no longer on Twitter, don't go there. 0.99

02:04:30.000 Just leave that place, because it sucks. 0.96

02:04:33.000 No, I'm just kidding. 0.99

02:04:33.000 I don't care. 0.99

02:04:34.000 Use Twitter all you want. 0.99
