On today's show, we cover: - Federal prosecutors are considering whether or not to charge many of the people involved in the anti-Trump protest at the Capitol with felony murder. - Parler files a lawsuit against Amazon over their handling of their data. - Ron Paul is being targeted by the alt-right. - There's talk of widespread armed "pro-Second Amendment" vigilantes. - And much more!
00:00:29.000federal prosecutors are considering whether or not they can charge many of
00:00:44.000the people involved in the ride at the Capitol with felony murder.
00:00:48.000And it's just one of the stories that's coming out showing the reaction to those who stormed the Capitol.
00:00:55.000The logic here is that if you are part of a group that is in the process of committing a crime and someone dies, then you get charged with felony murder.
00:01:03.000In this regard, they're saying, Not everybody, but a large portion of the people who were there, who were part of that melee, who were breaking in, may all actually face those charges, and that will be probably hundreds of people.
00:01:19.000In 2017, on January 20th, when Trump was being inaugurated, several hundred Antifa types, and, you know, wearing all black, got arrested, and they tried charging them all with conspiracy under the idea That by wearing black, they were aiding and abetting the other people who were committing crimes.
00:01:45.000They're now fighting back, filing a lawsuit against Amazon.
00:01:48.000And this is really interesting because the lawsuit makes some really interesting points.
00:01:52.000At the same time, Amazon was claiming Parler wasn't policing this criminal activity, which was people inciting violence and calling for death and things like that.
00:02:00.000They say Parler wasn't doing that, so we're going to terminate you without notice, breaching the contract, according to Parler.
00:02:06.000And they said at the same time, Hang Mike Pence was trending on Twitter and there was no application or threats or removal from Twitter for the same thing.
00:02:14.000And they note, Recently, Amazon signed a multi-year contract with Twitter to handle their data, so this looks more like anti-competitive action from a cabal of Silicon Valley elites, considering Parler was the fastest growing network, the number one app on the iTunes store.
00:03:45.000Oh my goodness, I've got a lot to say about that.
00:03:48.000Hi, I am the sensei behind WeAreChange.org and it's been really nice communicating to everyone on that top right hand corner when people put in their emails in this slew of all this censorship that's going on.
00:04:00.000WeAreChange.org, top right hand corner.
00:04:02.000Nice talking to all of you amazing people.
00:04:04.000I need to stress, too, yeah, the Ron Paul thing.
00:04:33.000And a lot of other people and a lot of other kind of libertarians, anti-establishment and cap types who are like, wait, wait, wait, hold on.
00:05:23.000I have actively not been engaged much in the news media today, except for watching that guy at the airport get told he was on a no-fly list.
00:05:30.000I mean, once you hear the pain in the individual's voice, I think is when it really, for me, is when it really hits home what we could end up doing to these people inadvertently.
00:05:40.000And all of us, all of us, inadvertently, incrementally, were not careful.
00:05:43.000Look, if somebody committed a crime, like the dude who, you know, the people who were attacking the cops and, like, literally killed a guy, those people go to jail, right?
00:05:49.000Of course, I think so, yeah, for sure.
00:05:50.000But there's a lot of people who are being falsely accused, just because they're near there and their photos were there.
00:05:56.000In the New York Times, we had Richie on the show, and the New York Times put up a caption saying he was a rioter who punched the glass, when he was actually just like, my phone, it fell!
00:06:08.000Don't forget Sour Patch Lids is over here pressing all the buttons.
00:06:10.000I am over here in the corner pushing buttons.
00:06:12.000Ladies and gentlemen, we once again have a sponsor.
00:06:15.000I'm eternally grateful because in these trying times when people are getting nuked and banned and we have no idea what's gonna happen, it's more important than ever that we have people who are willing to support the show.
00:08:31.000Prosecutors weigh heavy hammer, felony murder for rioters in Capitol officer's death.
00:08:37.000They say as federal prosecutors file charges against rioters who took part in last Wednesday's violent takeover of the U.S.
00:08:43.000Capitol, investigators continue to gather evidence in the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died from injuries sustained during the attack.
00:08:51.000While most murder investigations focus on the person or persons who caused the fatal injury, former federal prosecutor Tim Heafey said prosecutors could charge many rioters with felony murder even if they were nowhere near sicknick.
00:09:05.000Heafey led the months-long investigation into law enforcement performance before, during, and after the deadly 2017 rally in Charlottesville.
00:09:14.000Attorney for Western District of Virginia from December 2009 through January 2015, appointed by Obama.
00:09:20.000Under the doctrine of felony murder, which applies in the District of Columbia, any murder
00:09:24.000that occurs during the commission of one of several underlying felonies is chargeable
00:09:28.000as felony murder, saying, quote, The classic example is if three guys go to rob a convenience
00:09:32.000store and one guy is the getaway driver.
00:09:35.000If in the commission of the robbery, the clerk was shot and killed, all three of the participants
00:09:39.000in the robbery of the store are potentially guilty of felony murder.
00:09:43.000On January 6th, as most of you know, there was a raucous event at the Capitol.
00:09:47.000Some call it an insurrection, some call it a riot, some call it storming.
00:09:50.000They say in the federal murder code, 11 underlying felonies which can be part of a felony murder charge are listed.
00:09:57.000One which could be applicable to the January 6 takeover is burglary.
00:10:01.000Quote, You could look at the storming of the doors of the Capitol by that riotous mob as burglary.
00:10:06.000If they went in with the intent to steal, disrupt proceedings, to commit other offenses, they committed burglary.
00:10:13.000And therefore, a murder that occurred during the course of a burglary could be potentially charged as felony murder.
00:10:18.000The mere act of breaking into the Capitol doesn't constitute burglary.
00:10:22.000Prosecutors would need to prove that they intended to do something criminal once they were inside.
00:10:26.000Let's say somebody storms the Capitol with the intent to disrupt Congress, or steal the sign outside of Speaker Pelosi's door, and there's a murder that occurs in the midst of that.
00:10:34.000He could be charged with felony murder.
00:10:36.000As with any crime, federal or state, prosecutors have to weigh whether charges can be sustained in court.
00:10:42.000They say in this case, with crimes committed on federal property, and in the death of a federal employee, the U.S.
00:10:47.000Attorney for the District of Columbia, which prosecutes cases in both federal and local courts, would have the felony murder count at its disposal.
00:10:59.000I think if they go this route, and they could, I'm not entirely sure they will, they could actually charge these people, maybe even every single person who went in the building, with the death of Ashley Babbitt because a death occurred in the commission of a crime.
00:11:14.000There's a lot of things that are crazy about this.
00:11:16.000There have been photos popping up of random people who are like, well, I mean, most people I guess were kind of random in a sense, but some people who weren't even in the building.
00:11:23.000People are doxing them and saying they were there.
00:11:26.000Some people who weren't in the building at all.
00:11:28.000And in the case of the New York Times, we just mentioned this.
00:11:30.000Richie McGinnis, who's been on the show several times, who's a journalist.
00:11:34.000He's actually the journalist who tried to save the life of the man who was shot in Kenosha, Wisconsin earlier this year.
00:11:40.000He's up against a window, pointing down, and the New York Times ran a caption saying that he was a rioter who punched the glass when they wouldn't let him in, which is just not true.
00:11:49.000He dropped his phone and he was trying to ask someone to pick it up for him.
00:11:54.000If they actually... I guess the question is, are they going to go after all of the Trump supporters with an iron fist?
00:12:01.000When you look at Black Lives Matter and how the district attorneys were releasing these people and not charging them, there's a question of whether or not they're going to be biased against conservatives and just run them over the coals, throw the book at them.
00:12:13.000Or are they going to be worried about potentially setting off some kind of political spark by going for Trump supporters in this way?
00:13:10.000It's a different story, too, because you're talking about district attorneys on a local level, on a state level.
00:13:15.000Now, since this happened on federal property, you're talking about the DOJ and the incoming DOJ.
00:13:23.000So you're probably not going to see... It's all this talk about charges, but you're not going to see anything really come about until after Biden is inaugurated.
00:15:13.000So if she didn't, then... Well, she put out a statement on the 5th saying, like, I'll make it clear I am not requesting a strong police presence here.
00:15:20.000It's the aftermath of saying, defund the police, man!
00:15:23.000The politicians get scared, and they're like, alright, alright, let's hold back because we don't want... Like, think about it.
00:15:30.000After painting Black Lives Matter in the street, renaming the plaza, and then saying, I want a battalion of jackboots marching through the streets, locking everything down, people... She would get roasted by the left!
00:15:58.000And then some people were being charged with hate crimes for putting out similar messages, but in a different kind of political Really kind of really think here along the lines of everything that that's unfolding we have to understand this is extremely political when we have someone in a prosecutor's office when we have someone appointed as Attorney General
00:16:21.000And we have George Soros giving them millions of dollars.
00:16:24.000There's a reason he's investing so much money, because you not only get political favors, but you're able to kind of sweep the landscape of our society in ways that laws can't.
00:16:35.000Because when you choose how to enforce laws, and this is the selective enforcement of it to the highest degree, when you see it done this way, it is awe-stunning to see what they could get away with.
00:16:44.000You know, it's funny, uh, Shuon had posted his tweet where she was like, it's a screenshot of Parler being removed.
00:16:51.000And she said, Raitos, this is what Bezos has taken from you.
00:16:55.000Let's redistribute his wealth as, as like revenge or whatever.
00:16:58.000And I just thought it was really funny.
00:17:00.000I look, I'm not really okay with the idea of like seizing the wealth of everybody and just spreading it around.
00:17:06.000There's a problem with corporate power and government power when it exceeds certain levels.
00:17:10.000But when you have someone like Bezos, who has so much money, and Mackenzie Bezos specifically putting billions of dollars into left-wing political causes, it's creating instability.
00:17:22.000So there's certainly something to complain about there.
00:17:24.000But I think it's funny you bring up, you know, the influence people get when they buy politicians, which they basically do.
00:17:29.000And there's really not, like, I don't know if there's a way we actually stop that process.
00:17:33.000But there is, I think, a left and a right could come together on this and be like, yo, these people are subverting our institutions and that's a problem.
00:17:42.000Well, you'll also, speaking of Parler, you'll also never guess.
00:17:47.000The Washington Post put out, the editorial board put out an opinion piece about Parler.
00:17:54.000You'll never guess what their opinion was.
00:18:23.000Yes, and when you're making arguments like that after having months of protest against the police, and now you're supporting the police, you really have to start asking yourself, what's going on here?
00:18:32.000And these flip-flops happen not just within the left, they happen within the right in some instances, but right now we are seeing this kind of shifting of basic kind of virtues overnight because of political power, because of wanting your side to win, because of gang affiliation, which is more important than the truth to many people.
00:19:07.000I understand there are circumstances where someone could be violent and dangerous, and only in the process of trying to preserve life do we end someone else's life.
00:19:31.000Now listen, when I saw those conservatives throwing the Blue Lives Matter on the ground and stomping on it, that to me looked more like anger and kind of a realization as to what they were experiencing.
00:19:41.000And it was, for a lot of the conservatives who were, you know, being basically shut down by these cops, they've never had this happen before because conservatives don't protest, for the most part.
00:19:50.000So to them it was kind of like this new experience where they were like, dude, are you kidding me?
00:19:54.000This is ridiculous what they're doing.
00:20:24.000We're going into a very scary time where policies no longer matter and only power matters.
00:20:30.000And when you go towards this particular instant of where we're at right now, we're going to see people leveraging that power and trying to use that power to try to hurt their political opposition.
00:20:42.000And I think that's where we are right now with people trying to take advantage and escalating threats and fear-mongering about them to
00:20:49.000really rattle their base to support this kind of emergency takeover of civil liberties because that's
00:21:52.000Maybe she was part of the group that shoved their way in.
00:21:54.000But you have an unarmed person and a bunch of bewildered and doting people, many of whom didn't know what was going on, like that old grandma lady waving the little flag.
00:22:02.000She clearly had no idea what was happening.
00:22:05.000So for this woman to get shot, it's tragic.
00:22:11.000We saw criminal charges for less for officers before, which is also important to bring up.
00:22:17.000There should be an entire investigation into what happened, and there should be a jury deciding what should happen from here, but I don't think you're right, Ian.
00:23:26.000I mean, if you make the argument for Detroit, Detroit implemented private police and they had positive results because of that.
00:23:33.000And, you know, you really get into a big argument here that is kind of taken away from the kind of conversation, because there's still just so many other things that we could delve into.
00:23:43.000But I understand both sides of the argument here.
00:23:45.000We do have some breaking news, though.
00:23:46.000Trump has declared a state of emergency in D.C.
00:24:43.000A disgruntled employee changed the State Department's website to say
00:24:47.000that Trump's term ends today, sources say.
00:24:50.000Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is launching an investigation after biographical pages for the President and Vice President were changed Monday.
00:24:59.000Everybody started sharing the state.gov biography of Trump, that it said Donald Trump's term ended and then the current date plus like a couple of hours.
00:25:14.000So that no matter what happened, every time someone went to it, it would show them the current time based on like UTC time zone or something.
00:25:22.000So I don't know exactly what happened, but they're saying it was a rogue employee, perhaps.
00:25:25.000BuzzFeed says a disgruntled employee at the State Department changed the biographies of President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence to say their term was coming to an end on Monday, nine days before the President-elect Joe Biden is to be sworn in.
00:25:39.000Two current serving diplomats with knowledge of the situation told BuzzFeed News.
00:25:42.000The changes to the State Department's website come days after Trump incited a deadly insurrection.
00:26:11.000One of the diplomats said that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has ordered an internal investigation into the matter, beginning with interns and employees leaving the State Department this week and next, ahead of the transition to the Biden administration.
00:26:39.000We're at a time where we're extremely vulnerable, okay?
00:26:42.000This country is going through serious turmoil.
00:26:45.000Nancy Pelosi... I'm not here to play games.
00:26:48.000I know that what I'm about to say is a strong statement, but Nancy Pelosi, according to the Joint Chiefs of Pentagon officials, asked them to stage a military coup.
00:26:57.000And we can argue she didn't know what she was asking for, and that's fine, but it needs to be said.
00:27:03.000Pelosi went to the Pentagon, to the Joint Chiefs, and said, Do not obey lawful orders from Trump in certain circumstances.
00:27:41.000So anyway, look, the point is, considering the state we're in, with these kind of things happening, now would be the worst possible time for hackers to break in, to mess with our country, to start a war, or to come at us, and then some dumb intern or whatever's like, dude, I'm gonna make a joke about Trump resigning.
00:28:26.000The Associated Press got hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army to put out a tweet from the AP saying that Obama has been injured, and we lost like $4 billion in stock value as soon as it happened.
00:28:37.000And then as soon as they corrected it, it shot back up, but only a 90% recovery.
00:30:55.000Nobody's believing it because Trump is still in office. So I. Where's Trump been? He's not
00:31:01.000given a public statement. And you know what I was hearing?
00:31:04.000Because look, listen, I follow as much as I can from all of these different tribes. I
00:31:08.000follow the mainstream media leftists and the Democrats and Republicans. And I listened to what
00:31:12.000the lefty, you know, conspiracy people and the right wing are.
00:31:15.000There are left-wing people I saw posting on Facebook saying Trump was supposed to give a speech and then this website pops up announcing he's resigned and now his speech was cancelled.
00:31:44.000And look, it's not even about whether or not people believe it for the most part.
00:31:47.000It's about the fact that somebody, because they were an angry Trump derangement syndrome moron, broke into a system exposing a vulnerability in our state department.
00:33:10.000So if I'm miscrediting you, but it was like that point when you realize our systems are made of, are cobbled together with sticks and stones.
00:33:30.000But think about what they've exposed with this stupid joke that some dumb rogue employee at the State Department could break the whole thing.
00:37:53.000Just set the tone for the entire four years by coming out.
00:37:57.000First thing you do is yell at all the reporters.
00:37:59.000I want to sing a line from Alanis Morissette's Ironic about the old man, but I don't want to say it because it has to do with the president.
00:38:07.000But I think you understand the joke, you know, an old man turning eight, he won the presidency.
00:38:14.000For those that are familiar with the song, I guess, you know.
00:38:18.000I'm really curious how they're going to be doing the inauguration, because again, we see Joe Biden as the kind of plexiglass, social distancing, always wear a mask, hundred days of masks are coming presidency.
00:38:29.000How are they going to do it with everyone standing together behind him?
00:38:32.000How are they going to do it with that crowd?
00:38:34.000I think, I mean, if they do it, he's a gigantic hypocrite.
00:38:38.000And he needs to be called out on it, but they will not be called out on it.
00:38:44.000Well, one thing already, they have a crap ton of National Guard.
00:38:48.000They have a crap ton of troops coming together, mingling together.
00:38:52.000And again, this is also something that has affected small businesses tremendously on such a severe level.
00:38:59.000So for them to pull this off, it's really going to be something.
00:39:02.000And second of all, It's also interesting to see New York Governor Andrew Cuomo tweet today that we need to open up businesses.
00:39:09.000So maybe when the Biden administration comes in, maybe there's going to be another kind of flip of policies where COVID is going to be magically over.
00:39:23.000But then Joe Biden keeps saying it's going to be What if at the inauguration, Biden comes out, and he's got his arm around two young dudes wearing Hawaiian shirts and sunglasses, and he's kind of slumped over, and he's wearing sunglasses and a hat, and they bring him up, and his arm's flopping, and he flops onto the Bible.
00:40:43.000Because again, we have to understand here, especially on the topic of small business, the same people who are arguing that you need to shut down small business to defeat COVID are the ones who are screaming right now that businesses could do whatever they want.
00:40:55.000They could censor whoever they want because they're big private corporate entities that should be left alone.
00:41:00.000Magically, again, a major shift in policy that no one's calling out or addressing.
00:41:05.000Well, so, you know, considering these double standards, I want to talk about this video that's going viral.
00:41:09.000We have this story from the Daily Mail.
00:41:10.000Quote, they called me an effing terrorist.
00:41:13.000Moment, burly pro-Trump protester sobs at DC airport after finding out he's been put on a no-fly list.
00:41:45.000You heard what he said, basically that quote, they're calling me an effing terrorist.
00:41:49.000I heard that it might actually be that he wouldn't wear a mask, and people are assuming it has something to do with what happened at the Capitol, and that he's angry they're calling me a terrorist because he's not wearing a mask.
00:42:21.000And so I wonder, when you see this defeat, this desperation, this exasperation, that's, uh...
00:42:28.000I'm actually kind of worried about hearing that kind of emotion coming from people because, you know, I was thinking about just what they teach you in terms of cornering a scared animal, right?
00:42:38.000Might be a rabbit, but you back into a corner, that thing will attack you, you know?
00:42:42.000So you get a bunch of Trump supporters, you put them on no-fly lists, you beat them down, they've been defeated, and now what happens?
00:42:47.000They go after him with the full weight, full force of the government, threatening, you know, oh, maybe there'll be felony murder charges for anybody who was there next.
00:42:55.000Maybe now, if you're a musician, we're going to kick you off your label simply for listening to Trump speak and then going home.
00:43:03.000They are beating down these people so hard, you're going to get a bunch of desperate, angry, and just exhausted individuals who just don't care anymore.
00:43:21.000And that system was used and abused where people with the same names, babies, people who had nothing to do with anyone or anything, were literally told that they couldn't fly.
00:43:30.000And their way of having any regress or any way to have any accountability or get the name off of this no-flight list was virtually impossible.
00:43:40.000This happened for many years, so seeing this now implemented politically, I mean, if you're gonna charge someone, charge someone.
00:43:46.000What's the purpose of banning them from flying home or being home or even just transporting or going from place A to B?
00:44:00.000Stop messing with them and toying with them and trying to also and I think another reason they're doing this and we're seeing a lot of videos of people being arrested at airports is to set a chilling effect is to scare people is to make people think well maybe if I'm a Trump supporter this is going to happen to me as well and that's that's something that should be immediately called out because just like the no-fly list was used and abused after 9-11 with Muslims and other innocent people it's being it's going to be used and abused And this is the double standard.
00:45:21.000But if you're if you're just a normal person who likes Trump, has a Trump hat, and then somebody says suddenly, oh, you're you're a bad person.
00:45:30.000We're going to fire you from your job.
00:45:32.000We're going to delete your your Facebook account.
00:46:31.000You know, when you talk about the opportunity zones, those are good things, right?
00:46:39.000But then, you know, you can say, look, It's like Ben Shapiro says, there's good Trump and there's bad Trump.
00:46:44.000When Trump does good things, we praise him for it.
00:46:47.000When he does bad things, we go after him for it.
00:46:49.000And I agree 100% and we should do that to Biden.
00:46:53.000But just going after people and just trying to completely ruin their lives just because they like a guy who's absolutely flawed is incredibly scary.
00:47:05.000Think about where we go in the next several years.
00:47:07.000And this is what I think Republicans are too stupid to realize.
00:48:40.000Well, Tim's definitely a smarter guy than, you know, and better, you know, a better skater.
00:48:46.000I more agree with Tim mainly because when you control the institutions of information, mainstream media, social media, you pretty much control what people can and cannot hear.
00:48:55.000That's unlimited power that essentially sets them in a position that can't be challenged.
00:49:00.000You don't think that people How will they see what's happening now when the mainstream media is advocating for all forms of competition to be removed, when big tech companies are removing these videos, people who had photos from the Capitol, not even, like, from DC, not even the Capitol,
00:49:32.000But as far as policy goes, you're going to have all these states that are going to be, their citizens are going to be freaking out about Second Amendment rights.
00:49:42.000Because when Kamala was running, First, she said she was going to do an executive order about guns, and Joe Biden was like, no, you can't do that.
00:49:54.000Then she said, well, I want Congress to bring up legislation in the first 100 days, and if they don't, then I'm going to do this.
00:50:01.000So with Congress in Democratic control, Now you can see these things happen.
00:51:12.000As Michael Tracy said, the left liberal monoculture is merging with the state.
00:51:18.000So when you look at the suppression from Big Tech, let's, let's, let's, before, yeah, when you look at the suppression from the Democrats calling and advocating for the expulsion of Republicans, like, I don't, I don't see how we come back to this point when, after they've already had control of everything.
00:52:31.000You could export your emails and actually have a physical copy of them and move them to another server that might take it down.
00:52:37.000But another thing that I think personally will happen, I think things will spiral out of control and this kind of cycle of violence is going to continue.
00:52:43.000I don't want it to, but I believe that's going to happen because all the ingredients that created this situation, they're being added instead of subtracted from the cycle and it's only going to get worse and it's only going to keep spiraling out of control and I don't want it to happen.
00:52:58.000I've been warning people, you've been warning people, And all the signs are on the wall that this is going to lead to a crazier... I mean, with the no-fly list, what is that going to achieve other than a chilling effect, other than scaring people and creating more people on the fringe?
00:53:11.000Now, this started just... Let's talk about the merits here, because this was talked about by a flight attendant unit, but now it's being taken up by House Democrats that are talking with Homeland Security in special committee meetings And according to some people, this has already been instituted.
00:53:26.000We're seeing a lot of people being arrested.
00:53:29.000We're going to see a lot of people who were milling around, didn't do anything bad, caught up in it, punished, and then essentially even radicalized even more.
00:53:40.000There are some bad actors they do deserve to be dealt with, but when you're dealing with average people, when you're setting up a chilling effect, When you're censoring people and stopping them from having speech, you're not showing you have the moral high ground.
00:53:52.000Because when you have the moral high ground, when you have something that you think you're better or good at, you let that speak for itself.
00:53:58.000You don't need to squash any kind of dissenting voices against that.
00:54:02.000With that kind of authoritarianism, with that kind of unlimited, unchecked power, we are truly entering a time where they're not going to be checked.
00:54:12.000And they're gonna use that power for their political enemies.
00:54:29.000Of a little old lady, smiling, bewildered.
00:54:32.000She's holding a little thermos, and she's holding a little American flag.
00:54:37.000I'm sorry man, I'm not trying to be mean to her, but she clearly has no idea what's going on.
00:54:40.000And then they're like, it was an insurrection!
00:54:42.000I mean, there was a group of people that were bashing cops, and by all means, charge them.
00:54:47.000And there were some doting old women who were confused and the cops opened the doors and they're like waving little flags as they walk in.
00:54:54.000I think it depends on where, you know, if you were breaking windows and going in that way, yeah, you're probably going to be met with some kind of force.
00:55:05.000But if you're like grandma's like, oh, here, let me hold the door open for you, miss.
00:55:22.000If there was like one side of the building where it's like, that building's supposed to be open, right?
00:55:29.000I don't know about the Capitol building, the chambers.
00:55:32.000No, they had layers of security that day making sure people couldn't walk in.
00:55:35.000Right, but maybe not the house floor, but there were definitely some mixed There was definitely some miscommunication.
00:55:43.000Because some people were opening doors, others were trying to hold them shut.
00:55:47.000So, there's... Well, this is where it gets scary.
00:55:50.000Are they gonna take... So, you have a video where the doors are opened, and the cops are just standing there, and one of the cops says something to the effect of, disagree with it, but agree with your right to protest.
00:56:01.000I don't know if he says, you can disagree with it, but I agree with your right to protest, or I disagree with it.
00:56:31.000I think that got knocked over because they broke the window to get in.
00:56:34.000And then they boarded up the window and it probably knocked it over.
00:56:37.000But, you know, to get into those buildings, though, you do need to go through security.
00:56:41.000You do need to, uh, you know, I went a year and a half ago and, you know, it's not like the toughest security ever, but they, you know, they wand you and they check your bags and stuff.
00:58:38.000It just set the tone for the next four years.
00:58:41.000Trump terrorists, Trumpism, everything they needed, everything they've been begging for.
00:58:47.000They've been sitting in their room, lying awake at night under their covers, their flashlight, wishing just something would happen so they could prove everything they said was true.
00:58:56.000We've been expecting this for the last four years, including Mayor Bowser.
00:59:01.000Remember that Time magazine cover of all the angry Trump supporters yelling and it was like, what happens if Trump loses?
00:59:07.000They gave them everything they've been asking for.
00:59:10.000For four years, Trump supporters weren't rioting.
00:59:13.000They weren't smashing windows and screaming and setting fires.
00:59:16.000And they kept saying Trump supporters are dangerous and white supremacy and the far right and all this.
00:59:19.000And then finally just before Trump leaves they had to make sure they left the administration with they left the
01:00:07.000And of course, there's all the articles, the side-by-side articles, like back from the summer.
01:00:15.000It's like, you know, violence does have its place.
01:00:18.000And then they're like, you know, now in 2021, it's like, Violence is never the answer!
01:00:24.000Have you guys seen the most recent Ryan Long skit?
01:00:27.000There was so much incitement this year, we have to admit it.
01:00:34.000I mean there was even a compilation video of all the news organizations, of all the kind of left-wing thought thinkers being like, yes we have to excuse it, The ends justify the means and we were calling it out and it needs to be called out whether it's from the left or from the right, it doesn't matter.
01:00:47.000Whenever you invoke violence politically, everyone loses.
01:00:51.000We're all losing right now and we're gonna lose a lot more unless people heed the warnings that we're sending out there and other people are sending out there because again, one thing we need to also understand here on this larger point, it's only going to get worse from here.
01:02:21.000In fact, I think it was the smartest thing they could have done.
01:02:24.000Because they had a contract with Amazon that if they're gonna be terminated, they get 30 days, which is enough time for them to solve their problems and move to a new provider.
01:02:33.000But what happens now is Twitter was also using Amazon.
01:03:05.000They claimed Parler wasn't enforcing their rules.
01:03:07.000More specifically, they said, we don't believe they will enforce their rules.
01:03:11.000There was, I think, something like 60, I could be wrong, there was a small handful of posts that were inciting violence.
01:03:17.000Parler said, in the suit, we remove them all immediately because they violate our rules.
01:03:22.000We do not allow incitement to violence, it is illegal.
01:03:25.000At the same time, when Amazon gave them 24 or so hours to move their entire platform, violating, breaching the contract they had with them, Hang Mike Pence was trending on Twitter, and Twitter did nothing.
01:04:33.000While this is going on, I have personally filed several complaints to Twitter over, let's just call it, extremely abusive content directed at me, and they have not removed it.
01:04:44.000Can I now demand that Amazon ban Twitter?
01:04:47.000Because I have been trying to get stuff taken down that directly threatens me, and I'm going to leave out specific details as to what these posts are, but they are some of the... It's bordering... I don't want to say too much.
01:05:00.000I don't want to reveal too much about what's going on and why I'm having to report people.
01:05:06.000Twitter won't take them down. At least with Parler there was, you know, to sign up for a Twitter
01:05:10.000account you just, you know, have a fake email. With Parler I think you needed to, you know,
01:05:16.000have your phone number and... It was KYC. Yeah. It's almost easier to track down somebody like...
01:05:24.000I'm pretty sure that if the DOJ came up to Parler and said, look, this person is involved in terrorism, that they would go, here, here's all the information we have.
01:05:38.000Well, they said they were cooperating with law enforcement.
01:05:41.000So to to completely shut it down and move those bad conversations to, you know, to basically the depths of the Internet, at least on Parler, you could you could see it wide open.
01:06:15.000Well, Tim, you know, if you don't like what Amazon or Google is doing, you should just build your own CIA-connected monopoly multinational corporation.
01:06:31.000No, but we've got to make some points here.
01:06:32.000I mean, when we look at, you know, the history of something like Twitter and Facebook, there's a long history of people publishing information that hurt other individuals.
01:06:41.000So there's a long history of people inciting violence, whether it's the Arab Spring or jihadis or even the Christchurch town shooting.
01:06:50.000There was a massacre live streamed by a tech company that allowed the video to go everywhere.
01:06:57.000So when we're talking about let's hold these companies responsible for what they're doing, that points back right at Facebook, that points back right at Twitter, but it essentially points back that no, no, we can't set up this kind of precedent where people are responsible because of what people do on communication lines.
01:07:15.000It's like the same as charging AT&T because some jihadi used their phone or used their company to talk to another jihadi.
01:07:22.000That makes absolutely no sense at all.
01:07:23.000What if you left someone a voicemail threatening them?
01:07:27.000Could you go after the company for not deleting that voicemail?
01:07:31.000No, but also remember maybe in the last two years there was a group of current and former Border Patrol agents who had a Facebook group and they were all sharing memes and stuff and I think ProPublica came out and showed Three, all of three examples out of tens of thousands of posts where they were attacking AOC.
01:07:59.000And they were vile, and they were bad, and that's fine, but you can't then lump everybody in.
01:08:06.000But you didn't go, well, Facebook was sharing that, so let's penalize Facebook.
01:08:11.000Uh, what, you know, they went after the group, they went after some of the people in it, and I think some people probably got fired.
01:10:01.000And again, we have to also underscore that there's a lot of international backlash.
01:10:05.000When we look at the market caps of Facebook and Twitter, they've been hit.
01:10:09.000But there also have been some leaders, some presidents coming out and speaking out against
01:10:14.000this, including I'm really shocked by this.
01:10:17.000Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, came out and she spoke out about how problematic it is for tech companies to have so much power that they're able to eliminate a president from even having a voice.
01:12:39.000And it's like, you know, what's really funny is Trump said something like, you know, one day it'll disappear.
01:12:44.000Then there were a bunch of leftists who were like, all of these, these people were joking and mocking the left saying that once the election was over, that COVID would disappear.
01:14:40.000the Democratic candidate for president who Tulsi Gabbard boom
01:14:46.000That's a problem. That's a problem at like of all the Democrats to endorse. Yes, not her not the black sheep.
01:14:53.000Forgive Well, this is the thing that's really surprising here.
01:14:56.000When you look at Ron Paul, he obviously, his career is based on calling out violations of people's personal liberty, violations of government's abuse of power.
01:15:07.000He pretty much is the main guy who calls for peace in the Middle East, but yet now he's being lumped in as this kind of Trump.
01:15:17.000Whitewashing this kind of Trump censorship effort that that's happening here And I'm having a lot of people respond to this saying good get rid of his hate speech, and I'm like what?
01:15:27.000He's calling for peace in the Middle East.
01:15:29.000What kind of hate speech are you talking about?
01:15:31.000He's talking about personal responsibility and Individual liberty how is that labeled as hate speech and this is the response You called a woman ignorant?
01:15:39.000blue checkmark people and I'm like okay okay give me an example of this because
01:15:43.000that's a very ignorant statement since of course it was Ron Paul that
01:15:47.000criticized Donald Trump on many of his foreign policy adventures and then I was
01:15:52.000called how dare you call a woman ignorant this is the there's a there's
01:15:55.000the reply thing that's going on in my Twitter right now.
01:16:51.000You know what you'll hear if you turn on Ron Paul?
01:16:56.000End the Fed, the gold standard, sound currencies, freedom, liberty, no wars.
01:17:01.000It's not even in, like, the things that Ron Paul's been famous for and the things he talks about for the most part, his, like, key focus isn't even a part of the mainstream culture war for the most part.
01:17:13.000There's only one other person I know of who constantly talks about ending the Federal Reserve and he's sitting in this room right in front of me.
01:17:39.000And again, conflating so many important issues.
01:17:42.000As I keep saying, policies don't matter, power matters, and these people are power hungry, and going after individuals like Ron Paul absolutely proves it to an objective viewer who's just walking into this situation who really wants to understand it.
01:17:56.000Maybe, but, you know, look, we're all old people.
01:18:01.000So you've got these 20-somethings, you know, because there's one thing I really, I started to realize when we had some of these younger lefty guests on the show, they were, you know, when Ron Paul was coming into prominence, it's like 12 years ago now, the big Ron Paul era, the Ron Paul love revolution.
01:18:15.000So I'm, you know, we're all old enough to have remembered that, but these kids were like 10.
01:18:18.000you know now they're 22 and they're like yay communism and they don't know who Ron Paul is
01:18:23.000at all other than he was like a republican so they're like yay ban the old white man
01:18:28.000and it's like he's for freedom i don't know or care get rid of him that's it. Fox News and CNN
01:18:33.000was attacking him non-stop when he was running to be president of the United States.
01:18:37.000He was the only one standing up as a principled individual against this crazy aggressive American foreign policy, against the military-industrial complex, against the actual issues that literally mattered, and now he's being lumped in into MAGA.
01:19:11.000He worked with Dennis Kucinich, Cynthia McKinney, a lot of the kind of old school anti-establishment representatives that were not just Republican, not just Democrat, but individuals that stood on principles.
01:21:17.000I'm not saying successful, but in the last bit of her remaining congressional term, she's put out some fairly moderate, liberal-type policies pertaining to cultural issues.
01:21:29.000But she's also come, you know, out against, you know, like the Russia investigation ended, and she's like, that's it.
01:24:15.000Well, let's hope in two years the Republicans learn their lessons from the last... No, I'll tell you what's going to happen in two years.
01:24:26.000So they did win in the House in the state levels, which means they're going to control redistricting, which will give them massive advantages.
01:24:33.000in the next election. That's what people don't realize. Isn't that isn't that creepy that it's
01:24:36.000not about your message? It's all just team sports. And because we went at the state level, now we're
01:24:41.000going to win at the house level. And it's like ideas kind of irrelevant, just oppose the other,
01:24:47.000I guess. But it's also the census, you know, thanks to thanks to COVID and all these terrible,
01:24:54.000terrible policies. You have states like Texas and Florida, which actually might gain a gain
01:25:16.000But there was always the talk about how if they were at least going to lose one, and this is before the pandemic, that AOC's district I think one of the biggest issues in the culture war split right now is trans issues.
01:25:31.000it up between all the other districts and then she would have to either run in an in another district or
01:25:36.000Just decide that she's gonna run for Senate which is I think happen one of the biggest issues in the culture war
01:25:42.000split right now Is trans issues, you know, you can see that conservatives
01:25:46.000don't agree with the idea of misgendering or they say there's only two genders and the left
01:25:49.000clearly disagrees I I'm willing to bet that you give it for maybe eight years
01:25:54.000and Republicans are gonna be 100% on board with all of it I'm not kidding.
01:25:59.000I'm not trying to, you know, be bombastic or anything.
01:26:00.000I think they'll be 100% on board with all of it.
01:26:03.000And the left will be much further in the direction of some new kind of, you know, issue pertaining to love or sexuality or identity and stuff like that.
01:26:45.000If we look historically back at how culture has shifted, is there a reason to believe the right will retake ground in the coming eight years, especially considering the Democrats just took every branch of the federal government?
01:26:59.000It's possible, because you can have- Assuming they pack the Supreme Court.
01:27:01.000Not only just that, but also influencing people through the algorithms and the timelines- And the mainstream media- And what people are showing through social media- The manipulation- And Hollywood- Right, right, right.
01:27:12.000Go watch a kid's show and see the things that are in it.
01:27:15.000These kids are going to grow up, and they're going to vote, and they are going to be even further culturally, you know, progressive than 20-year-olds today.
01:27:24.000And you're going to get a bunch of- I'll tell you, this is the funniest thing.
01:27:27.000These lefties who are like 25, in 10 years, they're going to be right-wing, and then the new left is going to be these kids, they're going to make similar conversations that we had, and then we're going to find a lot of these people now agreeing with us on certain issues.
01:27:39.000But if you look at what you got to do, I'll tell you something really creepy.
01:30:54.000Well, they did, they had some, but I guess they didn't have enough to go around.
01:30:58.000I don't know what it was, production-wise, but I just see this guy, he's holding, he's holding it, and the barrel's like, it's not just pointing down, but then it's pointing to the right, and I'm like, oh my, come on, you couldn't fix that?
01:31:31.000Anyway, the point is, that does make me think that there is a potential for media to start being produced that will influence a younger generation.
01:31:40.000But they're still 10 years out from actually getting any foothold in culture.
01:31:43.000Well, now that everything's streaming, right?
01:31:47.000Because, you know, this is, you know, when you, when you get the PlayStation or the new Xbox, there's always like the killer game.
01:31:53.000It's like the game you have to have, right?
01:31:57.000There's not a lot of content coming out other than, you know, what's on Disney Plus.
01:32:01.000Like that WandaVision looks just bizarre.
01:32:04.000I have no interest in seeing that, right?
01:32:07.000But I was so excited watching this, the trailer's great for Run Hyde Fight, right?
01:32:13.000And maybe, like if there's something good, like The Mandalorian, you know, The Mandalorian's like, it's kind of like a must-see thing, right?
01:32:22.000Now if people are into that kind of action movie, and there aren't a lot of action movies out right now, You know, because movie theaters are pretty much dead, and we can have that conversation another time, but having something like the killer app, you know, of this movie to get subs, like, go for it.
01:32:40.000Now, another thing I kind of wanted to bring up and talk to you guys about is when you dominate culture, You have a lot of power and control and I think you could be right too, but I think also there could be a kind of reaction towards this because if you look at culture, especially in the United States, especially in the 1990s, it hasn't changed or progressed since.
01:33:00.000Usually the 80s had its own unique culture, the 70s, the 60s, they had their own hair, their own clothes, their own music, their own kind of way of life, their own kind of That's not true.
01:33:32.000So you can look at the, what do they call it, the aughties?
01:33:36.000That's what they refer to as the 2000s, the aughties, and the 2010s.
01:33:40.000And there's distinct music that was popular in the early 2000s that was prominent on networks and on social platforms, on MySpace and things like this that aren't really that popular anymore.
01:33:51.000So each decade does still have its shifting, you know, cultural trends and everything like that.
01:33:56.000And maybe you just don't see it because it's easy to look back at the 90s and recognize that, you know, baggy button-up shirt and like, I don't know, Stone Temple Pilots and stuff like that.
01:35:34.000What I like about Ben is that he has a law background, so that he approaches these things very differently than most pundits.
01:35:47.000Like Mark Levin, he's all about constitutional law, so you see that But calling Ben Shapiro radical, which AOC has, by the way, called him radical, which is just mind-blowing.
01:36:06.000Ben Shapiro is so much more traditional conservative, the kind of opinions we know and expect, and AOC is the radical with opinions you'd be confused by.
01:36:17.000I just mean, when AOC comes in, a lot of things she advocates for, you're kind of like, About what?
01:36:43.000But one of those, like, really cheap sponges that you, you know, get at the supermarket where- Oh, like the little ones where you get them wet and it's a dinosaur?
01:37:04.000She hears people say certain buzzwords, certain things, certain things about equity, and then she tries to remember them, and sometimes she jumbles them up.
01:37:19.000Well, look, one thing she has, look, she has a brand and no matter what happens with her political career, which isn't going nowhere, because if Maxine Waters can hold a political house seat for decades, AOC, she's got that covered.
01:38:49.000The reason why I think AOC was able to win is that normally the people who believe the things she does are fringe, and they're all over the country.
01:39:01.000So if you live in a town with, let's say you live in a block and there's 10 people, and four of them are conservative, Five of them are Democrats, you know, are like moderate Democrat.
01:39:11.000And one is a radical socialist or democratic socialist.
01:39:14.000That one person has no political influence whatsoever.
01:39:26.000That one person can't influence the block.
01:39:28.000But AOC, because of the internet, was able to create a network of all of the different fringe elements in different areas, and all that power got pooled into her in her New York district.
01:39:37.000So whereas these fringe pockets of far leftists in their areas don't hold power, together online, they all send their money to her, which allows her to overwhelm the district she's in.
01:39:47.000That happened after the primary election.
01:43:24.000Remember when she put her feet up like Amazon opening a marketing department with like a thousand employees compared to the 40,000 or whatever employees in the massive headquarters.
01:43:33.000And she like was smugly sitting there like they came anyway.
01:44:11.000But unfortunately, actually, maybe fortunately, you know, since she doesn't give money to the DCCC, since she does actively try to primary sitting, sitting representatives, sitting Democrats, she is going to be shut out from a lot of things, including Uh, you know, seeing any of her legislation, uh, voted for on the floor.
01:45:46.000If I wanted to see... Look, I just think... I wouldn't vote Democrat in that way.
01:45:52.000Nancy Pelosi is... Nancy Pelosi can get things done.
01:45:55.000And I've defended Pelosi in the past because I thought, you know, the squad was being ridiculous and unreasonable and Pelosi was pushing back.
01:46:14.000And at the very least, AOC has some kind of, you know, argument for actually wanting to help people.
01:46:21.000Not that it's very strong in my opinion, but Pelosi is just like, she's this old crone at the top of the tower looking down with contempt at the people.
01:46:28.000I'm not gonna pretend like AOC is perfect or anything like that, but I think Pelosi is substantially worse.
01:46:33.000But you vote for Pelosi because you know that she's like the top fundraiser in the Democratic
01:47:44.000I thought you were talking about, you know, like if you're a Democrat and, you know, if it's for me, I would vote for AOC because she's not going to get anything done.
01:47:54.000And Nancy Pelosi, like I would want to derail Nancy Pelosi.
01:48:10.000Nancy Pelosi's, uh, she's... You know, I would prefer a progressive populist over a corporate establishment candidate.
01:48:19.000The problem is, I think AOC is a careerist, and there are other progressives that I would much prefer to AOC or Pelosi.
01:48:27.000Like, if there was an actual progressive, lefty, universal healthcare and all that stuff, like, very left, Critical race theory and stuff.
01:48:33.000I just I don't even agree with I prefer over Pelosi, but AOC is a careerist I don't think she knows what she's talking about half the time.
01:48:38.000I think she wants followers and she wants fame and attention It's her career.
01:48:43.000She's gonna socially climb and all that stuff Pelosi is exactly that but establishment crooked ultra wealthy $20,000 refrigerator full of ice cream laughing at the poor peasants the old crone looking down from the tower with contempt I mean, I hate them both, but it's, you know, what are you, what are you gonna do?
01:48:58.000I mean, again, I didn't vote for them.
01:49:00.000I do not live in either of their districts.
01:49:03.000But that's why AOC voted for Pelosi to be Speaker of the House.
01:50:10.000But we're also going to be doing physical events at the studio.
01:50:16.000Limited ticket sales per event when we do.
01:50:19.000And it'll be like first come first serve.
01:50:21.000So you'll get an email and everyone's going to be sitting there refreshing their phone.
01:50:24.000And we're not going to know, we're not going to plan out events and like announce them, you know, hey, the event is this day, tickets will go on sale on this day.
01:50:31.000It's going to be one day you'll get an email saying tickets are now on sale.
01:50:33.000It's going to be like so far sounds where it's all, you know, like very last minute.
01:51:24.000If someone can't afford it, I don't want to exclude them.
01:51:26.000You know, we want people to be able to come out, but got to be honest, it's going to be like 20 tickets per event.
01:51:30.000And then we're gonna do online, you know, we're gonna film, we're gonna stream and do shows.
01:51:33.000So again, go to TimGuest.com, become a member.
01:51:35.000We're gonna start putting up members-only content, so what'll end up happening is we do these shows with these guests, we're gonna record special exclusive, like, hangout chats after the show ends, and then put those up after the shows and stuff like that.
01:51:47.000So again, check that out, smash that like button, and now we will read Super Chats.
01:51:51.000Justin Force says, if the Dems actually expel elected reps like Cruz and Hawley, then by what authority, other than violence, does the federal government have the right to govern and tax the states that are now unrepresented?
01:54:34.000So who knows what's gonna happen, and I think Bitcoin is... I've said it before, I think it'll be a million dollars per coin at some point in the near future.
01:54:43.000But that's not an opinion I made up out of nowhere.
01:54:46.000That's when you listen to the experts and the people who know what they're talking about, and they tell you...
01:54:50.000Based on the technology and what it is and what it does, and the fact that all of these massive, multinational, billion-dollar corporations are buying in to hold assets, to hold value.
01:55:01.000It's a good store of value, and it's gonna keep going up.
01:55:04.000My friend Sean actually was saying that he was gonna hook me up with some advice about crypto, because he's like, I'm not doing politics right now anymore, I'm not doing, you know.
01:55:17.000So he's all in on crypto right now, and he can afford it, because he's super rich.
01:55:23.000But Sean, remember to get back to me, because I wanna play this game.
01:55:28.000When Bitcoin hit 20 bucks, Everybody was like, oh, freaking out.
01:55:45.000I was like, how am I going to buy in now at 1,000?
01:55:47.000Because you can buy fractions all the way down to eight decimal points.
01:55:50.000So, every step of the way, the trend has been entirely predictable.
01:55:54.000What happens is, the people who mine the Bitcoins, who produce them, this is my understanding, I could be wrong, this is not a financial advice, this is just what I read and what I base my opinions on, they start producing Bitcoin, okay, so they get them through running the software, running the hardware to generate it.
01:56:09.000Then, at some point, something happens politically or in the markets, and people rush and flock to store their money out of fear.
01:56:21.000Once the price skyrockets, the people who mine the Bitcoin go, now's the time we sell to get maximum value out of the effort we put into producing them.
01:56:30.000The mass sell-off drives the price way down because everybody's waiting to buy at lower prices.
01:56:35.000And then once the miners clear their stock, it starts going back up because the demand is still there.
01:57:26.000Don't do it like don't Student of history says ladies and gentlemen in these trying times work on yourselves Think of ways to improve your local community Organize the local level to push peacefully for change and find ways to separate your community from the big the big buoys Be constructive, please advice.
01:59:56.000It's just a way to purge the right once again and the left keeps growing and Twitter is pushing this and it is creating a monoculture and it is getting creepy.
02:00:06.000Well, if you see on Twitter, you see a lot of right-wing politicians losing a lot of followers, but you see a lot of Democratic people gaining followers.
02:00:14.000So I even saw Swalwell tweet, look how many great new followers I have.
02:00:18.000Thank you again so much for following me.
02:00:20.000So that should tell you what's going on.
02:00:22.000Well, I think there's a difference between new users, right?
02:00:27.000These Democrats who are being followed, they're not from new users.
02:01:26.000So you make, I don't know exactly how the metric counting worked, but the idea, I assume, or I remember reading, could be wrong, just preface that, was like, if you tweet once in a month, you're considered a monthly active user, or something like that.
02:01:39.000Whereas when they did daily active users, some people don't tweet in a day.
02:01:43.000You know, so they were like screwing with the numbers, trying to make it look like they were growing, but it was
02:01:46.000like you could see the users were going down.
02:01:48.000And then Trump came along and then everybody in the world was like,
02:02:03.000You know, we were talking about, like, you know, Brooklyn Dad Defiant and all these people.
02:02:07.000It's like where, you know, Trump, they have a notification when Trump posts and they're like, OK, what's the thing I'm going to say right now?
02:02:17.000Some of them would just respond to Trump with some nonsense like, Trump would tweet something where it's like, the radical left in this country is trying to subvert the Constitution.
02:03:05.000And it's like they just made an account like a week ago, and then all these people retweet them and are like, oh my god, this guy's a patriot.
02:03:47.000And once we understand that, I think they lose a lot of leverage.
02:03:52.000So I think that's why it's very important to let people know that they have absolutely a lot of power and that they shouldn't be feeling disenfranchised at all.
02:04:14.000So there are conservatives who work in media, but if you live in a city, you're much more likely to be left than if... So the people who live near these institutions are more likely to go and apply and get jobs, and they're more likely to be rich.
02:04:28.000Because news organizations don't pay very well.
02:04:31.000So there was this, like, a big thing happened in New York where people were kind of screaming about it.
02:04:35.000The only people who are getting jobs at the New York Times are rich kids.
02:04:52.000It is rich, it is upper-class white progressives getting these jobs.
02:04:56.000They're coming from colleges where they're learning about a bunch of stupid things, and then that becomes the narratives at these institutions.
02:05:04.000Even surprisingly, a lot of people at Fox News.
02:05:07.000Oh yeah, look, I've worked in newsrooms where, you know, like all the people covering finance, they're right-leaning for the most part.
02:05:18.000But every, just about everybody else, other than, you know, depending where you are, like your editorial board is either like all the way to the right or all the way to the left.
02:05:28.000But for the most part, I'd say most journalists are definitely left-leaning.
02:05:49.000I think... I don't believe we could function... I've argued with so many ANCAPs and Libertarians about the ownership of common resources.
02:06:00.000And the argument always comes down to something simple like upstream water use and downstream water use and water rights and things like this.
02:06:07.000And we have to have some kind of agreement.
02:06:11.000Cause you, if like, I've been told someone could just own a portion of the river and do whatever they want.
02:06:16.000And I'm like, yeah, well, then the people downstream are going to get angry when you take a dump in it and they're going to come up with pitchforks.
02:06:21.000They're like, but it's my, you know, okay, look, there's a lot of arguments we can have.
02:06:24.000I think there are common things we have to agree on.
02:06:27.000Otherwise I'll just buy the river cause I have the power to do so.
02:06:53.000One day someone comes and destroys it, well we take issue with that.
02:06:56.000So the way I describe Twitter and Facebook is that it's become the political space for, it's the commons.
02:07:03.000Meaning it's the area where we all gather to communicate and share ideas, and what's happened now is, where we used to go to churches, and we used to go to town halls, we now go on social media, and it's basically akin to someone setting up giant walls around town hall, saying you can come in and have a political discussion on the issues, if you agree with our opinions.
02:07:23.000So it's like, well, if I want to come and have a political debate to change the rules and the laws here, and you're not letting me in because you don't like my opinions, then how can I participate anymore?
02:07:52.000Poofy's my operative at Don't Walk, Run.
02:07:55.000Poofy definitely helps me out with scripts and insight.
02:07:59.000And actually, I was talking about the Electoral College the other day, and I was on the phone with her on Discord and just yelling at her, like, you Don't understand!
02:08:08.000You don't understand, like, it's the state's rights!
02:08:12.000She's like, but... You know, she agrees, but, you know.
02:08:22.000Could you guys plus gal recommend any resources to teach a beginner, start a business, podcast, stream, 36-year-old, laid off, second wave, co-19, tired of working for people?
02:08:50.000But I also think too many people look to popular mediums and assume it's something they should do or that, you know, listen, Just because you're seeing something doesn't mean you should be doing something.
02:10:32.000But it really does matter about you as an individual being unique and accepting your uniqueness and doing something that someone else is not doing.
02:11:20.000I'm not, you know, I can't do this, but it's this, it is not, it is not for everybody.
02:11:27.000It is not easy, but you don't know unless you try.
02:11:31.000You know, I mean, I had for a very, very long time for about a year and a half, I had about less than 600 subscribers, but I wanted to do it.
02:11:40.000I would say it was just me being creative.
02:11:42.000I never thought that I would be at now 420,000 subscribers.
02:12:31.000I've been hearing this more and more, that people are claiming revelations is starting to happen.
02:12:35.000But I wonder if it has more to do with political turmoil, giving people anxiety, so they're looking for the signs.
02:12:39.000I mean, they said back in the 80s that, you know, it was going to be the end of the world, you know, like Pat Robertson, you know, saying like the... Oh yeah, there's always someone new.
02:12:49.000It's always, you know, the rapture's gonna happen, you know.
02:12:52.000I've been hearing that for a while, too.
02:12:54.000Yeah, I remember my mom going, oh, I can't believe that we're in this time and it's not fair!
02:13:00.000And, you know, thinking that the rapture was gonna happen.
02:13:03.000I was just like, uh, okay, you know, just because the man on TV said it doesn't mean it's gonna happen, but, you know.
02:13:08.000She also thought there was gonna be, like, you know, nuclear war, too, but that's another thing.
02:14:02.000So the other day, Luke was trying to coax Fumble Bump to him with treats, and I grabbed this bag of Swedish candy, which the dog was not going to eat, and I kept jiggling it, and she was looking back and forth, and I was yelling, Fumble Bump, and he was yelling, Freedom.
02:15:00.000JM says, is there much difference between fringe Trump supporters who thought Trump was sending them secret messages to seize Congress and the left to accuse Trump of dog whistling them to attack Congress?
02:15:12.000The only difference is whether they like Trump or don't.
02:15:26.000So these conspiracy leftists who for years, I'm not gonna name some of these people, but some of these people have hundreds of thousands of followers, they're verified, and they say the stupidest and craziest things like, Steve Bannon is facing the death penalty for treason, then Lin Wood says Mike Pence is facing the death penalty for treason, it's all nuts!
02:15:45.000I mean, I'll tell you, man, the level of unhinged psychosis that I've seen on social media these past months have made me have some deep philosophical conversations about the right to access on a platform and whether or not we should just ban them all outright.
02:16:19.000I was watching some, I think I was watching Fox and they were saying, well, how is the president going to communicate to people if he's not on Twitter?
02:16:49.000Joseph Moore says, Tim, how can people remain peaceful and say what happened in DC was wrong, while also in the same stroke, just say if things remain to course, big tech will soon control all ways of life.
02:17:00.000I don't think remaining passive will change where we are heading.
02:17:03.000From Fury, quote, ideals are peaceful, history is violent.
02:17:06.000History is violent, but we're in a different technological age.
02:17:47.000at all and uh we made a fire and we just kind of chilled in the middle of nowhere and i was like people need to relax man need to chill so i think you know mike cernovich said it get offline you know go to your loved ones and just drop this kind like we need to chill pull back and just calm down the dog was running around there was no service and i have to remind people You gotta work on your mental health.
02:18:09.000When you're on social media, you're on a device that literally rots your brain and destroys your mental health.
02:20:23.000It's so weird that I'll be like, here's what I think might happen, and then I'm wrong, and then these leftists are like, haha, Tim was wrong, and I was like, yeah, I don't think I'm the smartest guy in the world.
02:20:38.000You're not saying, well, this is definitely absolutely going to happen.
02:20:41.000But my favorite is when I was like, if Trump appoints Tulsi Gabbard as a security advisor, Andrew Yang as economic advisor, and then decriminalizes pot, 49 state landslide.
02:20:52.000And then they cut that first part out and then use the last part.
02:20:55.000And it's like, dude, I'm talking about hypotheticals pertaining to riots and what might contribute to like a hypothetical historical moment.
02:21:30.000And I used it as a source on my, you know, I said Vox.com did an analysis and I got so much pushback in the comments where they're like, why are you using Vox?
02:21:39.000I'm like, because it was a good analysis.
02:21:42.000Like, you know, they don't, they don't, not everything is bad that they do.
02:21:46.000I love using left-wing sources when they're calling out the left, because then it creates, it's kind of like a, dude, if Vox is calling them out, come on, we're not making this up.
02:21:56.000And that's why I don't, I generally, you know, when I am doing sources, when I am like trying to prove a point, I will use the Washington Post as much as possible or the New York Times or Vox or, you know, Salon or Slate or whatever, because it just, it shows that I wasn't like, well, he's just getting all of his sources from Fox.
02:22:20.000Black Czar says, Progressives stating that they believe free speech is a human right while advocating for the removal of dissenting voices is not a contradiction.
02:22:28.000No, as they do not perceive such people as human.
02:23:44.000Let's see, Eric Miller says, I disagree with Luke.
02:23:46.000There was... There's... There's was many cultures because we had the internet and don't have the attention span to hold on to a culture for a decade.
02:24:52.000Scott Brumley says, I canceled my Audible Amazon account, but left product book reviews posting what I would have posted on Parler if I could.
02:25:00.000Everyone should do this sort of thing.
02:27:10.000There's a lot of money being dumped into this.
02:27:12.000So where are the events where people go to the parks, whether you're barbecuing and having a beer, if you can, I don't know if you can actually do that at the park or you're, you know, your kids are skateboarding and there's like an event going on.
02:27:58.000Normal everyday people care about like Little League games and You know, they're maybe like a local issue or something, but they're not super political.
02:28:08.000I was watching a local news channel and it was just like, police officers pulled over a man on 7th and Main yesterday who was driving without a taillight, and it's like, I'm like, wow.
02:28:18.000The news they care about in these small towns.
02:29:16.000Well, there's been also a cultural attempt to fracture the family, and we're at a point where family members are snitching on other family members that were in Washington, D.C.
02:29:27.000And the mainstream media is glorifying that and promoting that right now, which just shows you the kind of, in my opinion, the larger narrative and agenda that's being being pushed by Hollywood and all these other very powerful institutions saying stay away from your family, family bad, and supporting this kind of individual lifestyle that is very just gluttonous and decrepit in my opinion.
02:31:23.000We've got this little stage set up, and it's still a little bit cold, so I don't know if we want to set everything up just yet, but we have an area for stand-up, sit-down interviews, and for music, this little stage we built, and it's like skateboarding, and we're going to have comedians and music, and start getting that stuff set up too, because a lot of the guests we have are musicians or comedians, or even political commentary, so there can be Yeah, maybe.
02:31:43.000sort of stand up political discussion, not necessarily comedy, but I think you would
02:31:48.000be really great at like doing a live version of one of your videos, Andrew, where you like
02:31:53.000have like a screen and you break things down.
02:32:53.000And I think the limit right now is 50 people and we're probably gonna have 20, which is totally normal and like allowed no super spreader events here.
02:33:02.000And we'll take it seriously, you know?
02:33:06.000Alright, that's a good one, but I'm not going to read it.
02:33:12.000And I'm not going to read the rest of that.
02:33:16.000DeadbeatGamers says, Tim, on the 20 max show, if they are fan funded for those who can't afford to go, 20 lucky fans could go on all expenses paid fan experience and a vlog of the whole experience would be amazing.
02:33:48.000But I guess how salty would it be if like you're sitting there checking your email and the email comes in and you click it and your phone's like error loading because the site's overloaded.
02:33:56.000And just like with the PS5 it's also going to be annoying.
02:36:54.000I remember when I had like 120,000 subscribers on YouTube and I was living comfortably and I wasn't getting the flack and wasn't getting the smears and the attacks and the conspiracy theories and the threats and I'm like, man, You know, mo' money, mo' problems.
02:37:40.000And I'm like, well, you know, thanks, Twitter.
02:37:43.000I'd like to call on Amazon to suspend Twitter because they're refusing to moderate this activity.
02:37:49.000Anyway, if you haven't already, smash that like button.
02:37:53.000uh subscribe hit the notification bell and i'm not entirely sure what's going on at the site because you know it's probably being slammed by everybody trying to sign up but you can go to timcast.com if not now maybe later sign up to become a member we're gonna have exclusive content we're gonna have exclusive live streams some of it's gonna be silly we're gonna vlog the vlog will be coming soon once we we gotta get to that point covid really jammed everything up to be completely honest Made it really hard to expand, put pressure on Subverse aka Scanner.
02:38:21.000And so we're getting things in order, but we'll see how it goes with Biden coming in.
02:38:26.000If we're going to do more Lockdown or less, that's, you know, a big challenge.
02:38:34.000If you are already someone who is giving on PayPal, you just need to request a new password and you should already be a member.
02:38:40.000And so this is kind of a, we think it creates a benefit for everybody who signed up early because you might get essentially some kind of discount.
02:38:47.000I'm not entirely sure how it might work, but if you're already donating to the old timcast.com slash donate, then you're already in the system.
02:38:52.000And if it's not working now, just check back later, but also follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and I normally would say parlor.

02:40:27.000In the right-hand top corner, it's a way for me to actually have a list that can't be taken away from me, and I think that's really important.
02:40:34.000If you want the t-shirt that I'm wearing that says, if you trust government, you don't know history, you could get it on WeAreChange.org forward slash shirts.
02:40:43.000And one last thing, Today is actually the eight-year anniversary of the death of Aaron Swartz.
02:40:49.000If you don't know who he is, look him up.
02:40:51.000He's a very important internet pioneer, freedom fighter, and he should be remembered through everything.
02:40:59.000His life and his activism was incredible and deserves a shout out at least.
