This week, we talk about a woman who was brutally attacked by an Amazon driver because she refused to check her white privilege on a package delivery truck. We also talk about the latest in the Kamala Harris and Joe Biden controversy, and we're joined by Ian Crosland of Freedom Tunes to talk about racism and white privilege.
00:00:00.000Kamala Harris says she's not going to go to the border because it would just be a gesture.
00:00:19.000But she actually went to Guatemala where she was greeted by protesters who were saying they liked Trump better, go home, and that they said Trump won.
00:00:29.000And then Kamala Harris said something really interesting.
00:00:59.000We got the scientist who told Fauci in January of last year that it may have been engineered, deleting his entire Twitter account after people pointed out that what he was sending to Fauci and what he was tweeting were completely different, which is very weird, suggesting the scientists doing the research the entire time were acting politically, saying one thing behind closed doors, but then saying certain things publicly for some reason.
00:01:59.000And I just wanted to comment on the story about that scientist not being completely forthcoming about the information he had.
00:02:04.000It's interesting because I was told that we should trust the scientists, but as it turns out, they're human beings who sometimes say things that aren't true.
00:02:09.000Man, it's like almost all of them are lying.
00:02:11.000There's a, there's, there's, right now there's a weird investigation.
00:02:13.000I should say there's an investigation and it's weird.
00:02:15.000Because it's like this guy says to Fauci privately.
00:02:18.000Hey, it looks engineered then publicly.
00:02:20.000He's like nah, it's crazy It's a conspiracy theory, but then like a few months later Fauci gives apparently one of his organizations a grant I it's still being looked into so I don't want to make you know We don't we don't have anything pulled up but doing a lot of research on this the journalism of trying to figure out what actually happened there but some people are suggesting Maybe he said the right thing publicly, it's good for Fauci, and then an organization.
00:03:19.000I don't want to divulge too much and give up too much of my family history, but yeah, Irish people didn't have it super great when they first came to the United States.
00:04:19.000There was a big, it's the Bonfire Night, I forgot what it's called.
00:04:23.000I was in Belfast and they stack up like 60 foot wooden, like, so they stack up all of these wooden pallets super high and torch it and the fire is so intense that it like burns holes in the ground.
00:05:14.000Uh, oh, let's read the news and talk about the Kamala Harris and then these other stories.
00:05:18.000Before we do, head over to TimCast.com and click the Members Only button to become a member of TimCast.com.
00:05:25.000And then you get access to the members-only area.
00:05:28.000Last week we had a really great discussion, almost an hour long.
00:05:30.000Me and Seamus, we were talking about pro-life, pro-choice, and all these things.
00:05:35.000And people are really getting into the comments, so if you want to check that out, go there.
00:05:38.000But also, we're about a week or two away from the launch of our newsroom!
00:05:42.000Which will be rudimentary at first, but we're gonna be bringing on journalists, and what I will be doing, when you become a member, here's what happens, the money, it goes to funding this operation, of which is going to, there's gonna be on-the-ground reporters, we're going to have, you know, standard newsroom reporting, fact-checking, we're starting with one reporter and a few contract reporters, then we're gonna have probably a fact-checker, And we're already at the point where I am trying to contract out documentary production, news dispatch production.
00:06:36.000So for you, you get to watch all this great content, but more importantly, you're helping us build this site, because the new site's going to be launching really soon.
00:06:41.000Check it out, become a member, and don't forget to like this video, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends if you think we do a good job.
00:06:48.000I'm thinking in the next couple of weeks, you guys are going to be really excited and impressed, and we're going to get all the shares, because everyone's going to be like, this is great, we need more of this, we need more field reporting.
00:06:55.000And we're definitely going to be funding undercover and investigative reporting, which is going to cause a lot of controversy and, I don't know, maybe eventually gets banned on the internet.
00:08:13.000The people who are staying in Guatemala probably like what Trump's policies are towards Guatemala and what they should and shouldn't be doing.
00:08:21.000The people who are leaving Guatemala, they're not going to like Trump, right?
00:08:25.000Yeah, because Trump's the guy who's blocking them from trying to get into the U.S.
00:08:29.000So naturally, the people who remain are like, yeah, go Trump.
00:08:32.000Well, and you sort of touched on this earlier, but the messaging that the Biden administration is sending to people who might be considering migrating to the U.S.
00:08:40.000Kamala goes down there and she says, if you're thinking of coming here illegally, don't even try it because you will not be welcome.
00:08:45.000If you're one of the illegal immigrants who's already here, one of the 11 million plus who are already here, you know, you're going to be naturalized.
00:08:51.000And we're going to give you citizenship because there needs to be a path to citizenship because anything else would be inhumane.
00:08:55.000But you're not welcome to come here if you're not already here.
00:09:24.000I think about this, like, you know, Trump derangement syndrome or Biden derangement syndrome thing, and I'm like, honestly, I think it really does in many ways come down to a difference in opinion based on what is, what deserves priority.
00:09:37.000And so I think there's a lot of people who are like liberals, leftists, mostly liberals, leftists, you're a different space, liberals who are just like, I don't care all that much about illegal immigration.
00:09:55.000So it really is like a difference of opinion that there's no... Obviously in media there's a lot of fact-based problems where the left or the right believe different things.
00:10:03.000But I think a lot of it's just subjective morality.
00:10:05.000I don't think January 6th was the apocalypse.
00:10:37.000Sometimes they're saying things that are very warm and friendly and open to people who want to come here, and then other times it's, well, you're not welcome.
00:10:42.000So Biden putting a moratorium on deportations and then Kamala going down and saying illegal immigrants are not welcome here, to me, seems ridiculously conflicting, regardless of how you feel about illegal immigration as an issue.
00:10:55.000It's a funhouse mirror of policy because early on in his campaign and even, you know, Biden got blocked from doing this, but Biden was like, we're going to put a moratorium on deportations.
00:11:05.000And then, you know, he gets in and now they've officially ended as of June 1st, the remain in Mexico policy, which was Donald Trump's policy that said, if you come to the border, we'll process your asylum while you remain in Mexico.
00:11:20.000So people are, once again, encouraging people to come in, they catch them, let them go.
00:11:24.000In fact, Joe Biden, his administration has been smuggling migrant children into different states in the dead of night, which is one of the creepiest things I've ever heard.
00:11:33.000Now, here's the fun house from here, because now Kamala Harris says, do not come, right?
00:11:53.000This is sort of what I was touching on a little bit earlier.
00:11:54.000I don't know if I articulated it quite well enough, but to say we need to naturalize all of the illegal immigrants who are already here, but then turn around and say, none of you should cross the border, though, to me is completely pointless.
00:12:08.000Of course they're going to come over here.
00:12:35.000Because the Democratic base, they were the ones that want to open borders.
00:12:39.000They were the ones that on the debate stage, the moderator, I can't remember who it was, how many of you are in favor of giving universal health care to illegal immigrants or legal aliens?
00:13:17.000So if you look at South Texas, if you look at Miami, dude, remember during the 2020 election, there was a safe blue district in Miami flipped red.
00:14:08.000I don't know for sure, but like, if you're in a big city, the illegal immigrants that are there are already kind of assimilated, like they have jobs, sort of.
00:14:15.000But the ones on the border are like random people that just got over here.
00:14:19.000Maybe don't even have any intention of going to a city to get work.
00:14:22.000They just want to avoid the chaos of South America.
00:14:25.000Biden's been sending migrant kids in the dead of night to various States.
00:15:07.000If most of the people in the crowd are women to the point where we could say the crowd is represented by women, then it's kind of a toss up.
00:15:13.000But if the crowd is mostly male, in fact, it doesn't even matter, right?
00:15:17.000If there's any men in the crowd, then the crowd is somewhat male.
00:15:20.000So Kamala has to be the victim here, no?
00:15:23.000Based on the rules of intersectionality.
00:15:28.000I guess the serious question is like, I think one of the reasons you're not going to see this story prominently on the left is just that it makes no sense for the narrative.
00:15:37.000Like a third world country or however they would describe it, minority country, saying they like Trump better?
00:18:11.000I don't think you're talking about the same thing.
00:18:13.000Oh, you're talking about buffalo sauce, which is Frank's Red Hot, and that's like the secret ingredient in buffalo wild sauce is Frank's Red Hot.
00:18:52.000No, but I think when it comes to these migrants, they're watching American TV commercials, movies, and so their whole perception of reality is based upon American cities and stuff.
00:19:06.000I mean, it's going downhill, unfortunately, especially with the kinds of things we've been tolerating over the past year and a half, particularly, though those are probably more of a symptom of the issues we've been tolerating for much longer than that.
00:20:23.000Supreme Court unanimously rules against immigrants.
00:20:26.000If they enter the country illegally and they have temporary protected status, they cannot get green cards.
00:20:32.000Here's what I love about this, and I appreciate it that it says in this.
00:20:36.000It's just kind of a funny headline that says the Supreme Court unanimously rules against immigrants with temporary status, and then right below, okay, like, illegal immigrants.
00:20:45.000And then at the very, very, very bottom of the article in the last paragraph, Monday's decision does not affect immigrants with TPS who initially entered the U.S.
00:21:07.000Because it's an easy way to win the discussion.
00:21:10.000Who wants to say they're against immigrants?
00:21:11.000It's much easier to say you're against illegal immigration.
00:21:13.000You don't like when people break the rules and they come into your country despite the fact that your nation has set up certain parameters for someone entering so that we can monitor who's coming in and they've decided to disobey those rules.
00:21:25.000If you say that those people are just mean haters who don't like immigration in general... So it keeps dumb people in check?
00:21:32.000Because anybody who actually can... Anyone who can actually read this and discern what's happening knows they're not talking about immigrants who enter the country illegally.
00:21:41.000And they're not talking about refugees.
00:21:43.000That's a big difference, is a refugee and an illegal immigrant.
00:21:46.000If someone's fleeing hostility, we have a duty to take them in, I think.
00:22:01.000Yes, we should be helping people who need our help, but the well-being of the people already living in the country needs to be taken into account.
00:22:07.000There has to be some kind of balancing act.
00:22:09.000But if you support unrestricted illegal immigration, what you're saying is that balancing act doesn't matter.
00:22:13.000As many people can flood this country as want to without there being any oversight.
00:22:17.000And if you disagree with that, you're a hater.
00:22:19.000And the way they convince people of that is by framing it as a discussion of people who are pro-immigrant or anti-immigrant rather than people who are pro-illegal immigration and pro-following the law.
00:22:28.000Bro, there is a chaotic, destructive entity hacking away at the roots of this nation, and it's hard to even say that we remain a nation.
00:22:37.000I know a lot of people on the left will immediately, they attack this idea.
00:22:40.000If you come out and you say that we are at risk of not being a country anymore, the left will immediately start attacking you.
00:22:51.000The Democrats in the debate stage in last year and the year prior in the election cycle raised their hand to give taxpayer-funded medical care to non-citizens.
00:23:19.000We mentioned this last week, but when you've got people rewriting history and teaching it in schools, a totally revised American history, now Washington State, Jason Rance reported this, is mandating critical race theory.
00:23:32.000So you know they're teaching kids fake American history.
00:24:07.000We basically, when we have legal immigration, In many instances, I was reading this story about it, there's like a good portion of those who immigrate legally are high-skilled workers, and then a good portion are low-skilled workers.
00:24:20.000But the high-skilled workers are bringing their innovation, their technology, their resources and ideas into the U.S.
00:24:29.000It creates a massive supply of a workforce at the lower level, making work... So you have a massive supply and limited demand for low-skill labor, making it more difficult for people in America.
00:24:40.000Overall, it's just very bad for lower-income individuals.
00:24:46.000They're claiming that, you know, the right are the ones destroying democracy, that are attacking democracy.
00:24:52.000If this keeps going this direction, and I think it likely will because Republicans don't do anything about it, Republicans engage in the conversation the Democrats decide they do, then in 20 years there will not be a United States as we know it.
00:25:02.000The history is going to be 1619, and there's going to be a complete shift in demographics in every different place, especially with Biden, you know, shuffling immigrant children, illegal immigrant children all across the country.
00:25:15.000It is going to erode at our civic institutions, and I think this is one of the big reasons Democrats keep saying democracy, and why they've been saying it for a long time.
00:25:25.000We have democratic institutions like our electoral process, but we are a constitutional republic.
00:25:30.000Democracy makes it easier to subvert the will of, you know, of the citizens.
00:25:35.000So now we're going to be entering a period where, yeah, your money is going to get stripped away from you.
00:25:39.000Joe Biden is putting an invisible tax on the working class and the lower class in a variety of ways, and it continues to just eat away at the United States.
00:26:27.000But on the other hand, I think we can turn this around.
00:26:30.000I think you're absolutely right that all Republicans or conservatives are trying to do is resist instead of putting forward an ideology of their own, and that's a huge part of why they're losing, and I'll sound like a broken record again, but this is also why I believe, like, fundamentally, conservatism has to be rooted in Catholicism.
00:26:42.000You have to have values that you're forwarding.
00:26:44.000You can't just say X, Y, and Z that the left is trying to do are bad, but we're not going to give you a coherent system of thought that should replace that, or which is undergird, or, uh, excuse me, undergirding our present system that we should stick to.
00:26:57.000Yeah, Republicans are against things, Democrats are for things.
00:27:14.000And so that was a problem for the left.
00:27:17.000I guess the issue is, If you live in the blue-pilled reality of the Democrats, you know, the Republicans are snarling demons who have ultimate power and everything's their fault when they could barely get anything done, the left frames everything, the Democrats frame everything as, if we don't get what we want, Republicans are evil.
00:27:37.000The Republicans aren't even asking for anything.
00:27:40.000So it's basically them saying, we've got a bunch of what we want, we want more.
00:27:43.000The Republicans are evil for not giving us more of what we want.
00:28:41.000In the Roman Empire, people would migrate in and it was very dangerous when people would come in because what would happen is they'd migrate in, nothing would happen, then their friends and family would come migrate in and then all of a sudden you'd have like a hundred thousand people in the city from another country and they'd overthrow the mayor and take control of the city.
00:28:57.000And then the state, the surrounding lands.
00:29:00.000So that is very real with immigration.
00:29:02.000That's why you have to be careful about your borders and about letting too many people of different cultures that don't value the constitution, the government necessarily.
00:29:10.000Well, can you imagine if, like, 170,000 people poured over the border of a country and then the president of that country released a video welcoming people and thanking them for choosing his country?
00:29:40.000And it would be one thing if he was saying that to people, because he was speaking to people who are becoming citizens, but the problem is when you release that kind of messaging at a time when the left is insistent upon conflating immigration and illegal immigration, you are basically giving the okay to everyone who wants to come into this country illegally to do so.
00:29:58.000With this mixed messaging that they've been giving now, it's like, if you're here, we're gonna say it's okay, but don't come.
00:30:03.000It's basically saying, but if you get here and no one knows, then we're gonna treat you like you're fine.
00:30:13.000Unless it is their intention to get as many people here as possible and then naturalize them, and then build a loyalty and a relationship between those people and their political party so that they win forever.
00:30:22.000I'm not entirely convinced that that would happen.
00:30:25.000Maybe it wouldn't, and I hope it wouldn't.
00:30:26.000But I think that if there is a plan, that's it.
00:30:34.000And there are many conservatives who predicted that that kind of thing would happen, because I think Mexican people tend to be more socially conservative, and that's where most immigrants are coming from.
00:30:42.000But that's definitely not something the left has been banking on.
00:31:21.000our our our values as a nation When you get a bunch of people who aren't from here who come in, it's mostly just about a nice place to live.
00:31:28.000It's not about the values of the country.
00:31:29.000That's why when you take the citizenship test, they ask you, you have to learn the history of the country.
00:31:34.000They want you to know and respect this country and what it represents, who the presidents
00:31:40.000When people come here illegally, they don't know or care about any of that.
00:31:43.000They're just coming and saying, here's my chance to get some resources.
00:31:47.000The left's response is usually like, oh, it's no big deal, you won't even notice.
00:31:51.000It's just absurd to think that there's not going to be an impact.
00:31:53.000You mean to tell me that when it comes to climate change, all of these farting cows
00:31:56.000and all of these individuals using electricity and air conditioning, it's extremely bad.
00:32:01.000You mean to tell me that the individual has an impact on climate change, but the individual coming in here illegally doesn't have an impact on our economy?
00:32:10.000How about we frame it that way, right?
00:32:11.000The United States produces more carbon emissions than a bunch of other countries, so the last thing we want is more Americans, right?
00:32:21.000You're going to invite 170,000 people in in one month, but then also take away their means of actually maintaining themselves through the economy?
00:32:46.000And there's a few things you said there which I'd like to dive into.
00:32:50.000When you're talking about immigration, it's sort of the distinction between illegal immigration and legal immigration.
00:32:55.000There are a number of people who have made the criticisms that, well, you know, a lot of conservatives say that they're in favor of immigration but they're against the legal immigration, but that's incoherent because then they should be okay with us allowing anyone into this country as long as we make them a naturalized citizen through some kind of process.
00:33:10.000But the entire purpose of having an immigration system is, as I said earlier, oversight.
00:33:15.000And so I think what we need to be doing in terms of our messaging isn't just saying we are against the legal immigration, we have to be talking about the immigration system which we want to build.
00:33:23.000Or the one which was supposed to be here, which we would like to maintain, and that is one which says if somebody wants to come here, as you've stated, they have to prove to us that they are interested in promoting our values.
00:33:34.000Did you know that Jon Stewart once, a few years ago, six years ago, or seven years ago, advocated for the draft?
00:34:13.000The problem is, I mean, there is already a kind of service which is taking place.
00:34:16.000When people come into this country, they're doing jobs, not that Americans aren't willing to do, but that Americans aren't willing to do as inexpensively as they will do them.
00:34:24.000And so, they're already providing a service, but the problem is, at some point, you oversaturate the market And make life more difficult for people who are already here, so that's why I would be a bit apprehensive about that.
00:34:35.000Even if they are coming here and providing some kind of service, at some point, we still reach a limit where there are too many people, and no matter how badly someone wants to come here and serve, we just can't let them.
00:34:54.000would have, like, a million ground troops every year added to their ranks.
00:34:58.000So, they don't do it exactly like that.
00:35:00.000It would be- that's a pretty evil thing in my opinion.
00:35:03.000Well yeah, and it would also- I would imagine, you mentioned the Romans did this, but I would imagine that would be a really horrible military strategy because you have a bunch of people who aren't committed to the ideas of your nation and don't necessarily have any loyalty to it and now they're on the front lines of your military.
00:35:15.000Yeah, but they're- Those people could be completely anti-America and they could just be infiltrating your armed forces.
00:35:20.000But it's the Zapp Brannigan strategy, you know?
00:35:22.000If we get into a full-scale conflict with another nation and you can just send wave after wave of your own... Yeah, very evil.
00:35:29.000But, uh... I... Think about the... So, the reason I brought that up is I'm thinking about the erosion of the United States and what this means moving forward.
00:36:12.000June 1st, Pentagon eyes new bombs for war with China, not ISIS.
00:36:16.000The Pentagon's been shifting up its strategy.
00:36:18.000No longer are we engaging in preparations for war in the Middle East.
00:36:23.000You know, there's a report saying we're like halfway out of Afghanistan, and now the bombs they're buying are for Pacific warfare and not Middle Eastern warfare, and it could just be We're all done.
00:38:13.000Or is it more likely they got intelligence classified about a potential war with China, made a bunch of crazy economic moves behind the scenes, and then made the public moves everyone can see?
00:38:27.000China also said, I think I heard from you that China was like threatened nuclear war if we tried to investigate.
00:38:32.000Well, in response to Biden's call for investigation into COVID, the head of Global Times said, we need to start building more nuclear bombs and a shiver down the spine of the American elite.
00:38:42.000Okay, yeah, that's I think which is another way of saying we are innocent And obviously the incursions the Hong Kong the way they treated the yeah, yeah protesters in Hong Kong was was drastic I think I want fear.
00:39:20.000I don't know every year, every tweet that's ever been sent out, or every statement that's ever been made about D-Day.
00:39:25.000It could just be that now we're in this deeply tribal political realm, conservatives notice Biden didn't do this, brought it up, then everyone's like, hey, yeah, why didn't you?
00:39:33.000And it's like, well, I don't know, maybe Jimmy Carter didn't, I don't know.
00:39:36.000Or maybe he still should have regardless.
00:39:39.000He didn't and a lot of other people did.
00:39:40.000Maybe Kamala Harris saying enjoy the long weekend is also an alarming statement.
00:39:45.000Maybe Kamala Harris refusing to go to the border is also kind of alarming and it makes me feel like our current administration is not invested in this country.
00:39:52.000I feel like We have an administration that, in a normal timeline, shouldn't have won, but we aren't in a normal timeline.
00:40:02.000What I mean by this is, normally you get a strong administration that wants to win, that wants a policy, that wants to put things forward and make these demands.
00:41:02.000And what can we expect in the event that war actually breaks out?
00:41:06.000My fear is that war will come to us no matter what we do.
00:41:09.000And this is a fear that a lot of people have in government, and it leads to very pro-war sentiment, which I disagree with, but the world is not so black and white.
00:41:17.000You can't just be like, I'm against war, so therefore I will never go to war.
00:41:21.000And it's like, then you get wiped out.
00:41:23.000No, I mean, I understand that I'm very anti-war.
00:41:27.000The number of wars that I would be willing to support, let's just say it's an extremely narrow subset.
00:41:33.000That said, this is a really complicated situation.
00:41:36.000I'm not going to sit here and automatically say there's nothing that could ever justify that.
00:41:40.000I very much do not want to see war with China, but this is an extremely complicated situation.
00:41:50.000Obviously, we should do everything we possibly can to avoid that war, if at all possible.
00:41:55.000I'm not coming down on one side or the other.
00:41:56.000I'm being the milquetoast fence-sitter here.
00:42:00.000Most of my interest in foreign policy has been directed towards the Middle East, because that's where the United States has been screwing around for the past two decades.
00:42:07.000But when it comes to China, I guess I just hadn't really considered that it was a realistic possibility until very recently.
00:44:04.000And then eventually, once all our allies are crushed and our resources are limited, then they land their boats on our beaches and we say, well, the one thing we got going for us, we got a gun behind every blade of grass.
00:44:27.000It would be difficult to take any scrap of land on this country.
00:44:31.000You would have confederate flag waving republicans from the, I don't want to say deep south, but I don't know, because it's not really... Running over to California and the Californians would be like, no, you need to leave.
00:44:45.000Like we'd rather have the Chinese here than you.
00:44:48.000There would be soyboys cowering with their purple mohawk going like, they're shooting I mean, it's like don't worry. You're American. I may not
00:44:55.000like you at all, but we're being invaded No, like you'll get the staunchest conservatives women, you
00:45:00.000know Confederate flag Trump flags running in a battle and
00:45:03.000defending the California soy boys, but so there's the really really serious problem about war
00:45:08.000China, it's really easy to be like I'm anti-war exactly it is now that's easy to say we're talking about Syria in the
00:45:15.000Middle East. Oh, I get it. You want to build an oil pipeline?
00:45:17.000What did Biden do Biden just approved Russia to build the pipeline anyway?
00:45:21.000So that is the sock conspiracies, okay I've been trying to... I've been trying.
00:45:36.000I have brought Seamus like 15 gay frogs and he keeps telling me to shut up, Tim!
00:45:42.000That frog is expressing itself a certain way that doesn't have anything to do with the chemicals in the water or anything to do with that frog's orientation.
00:46:08.000A bunch of people in our major urban hubs moved, and they moved to random places we can't... Half a million people who left New York, they didn't just move from New York to Pittsburgh.
00:47:28.000All these things are really good news for a country about to go to war.
00:47:32.000You know, the downside of working remote is you're at the whim of the electric grid, which could be a problem if that gets knocked out.
00:47:38.000But other than that, I think you're right on.
00:47:39.000Man, a big push to get off fossil fuels, you know, and to get solar energy and renewables.
00:47:44.000And so this is something I've been telling myself, maybe it's just to cope because I'm very sad, but ammo has been ridiculously expensive for the past year and a half.
00:47:52.000Anyone who has any interest in firearms knows that.
00:47:54.000And when I see the prices, I get very sad.
00:47:56.000When I see the empty shelves, I'm sad.
00:47:58.000But what that means is that more Americans than ever before have ammunition.
00:48:01.000I mean, the reason the demand skyrocketed is because everyone went out and bought ammo.
00:48:05.000And that means the American public is now significantly better armed than they were prior to COVID.
00:48:22.000You know, I've been talking about like a good investment, and everyone's like, you gotta buy this, you gotta buy that.
00:48:26.000I'm like, you know, I thought about it, and what I said, I've been saying for a while, think about the most common household item.
00:48:34.000That's the hardest to produce, and that's probably a good investment.
00:48:38.000Assuming there's a major crisis or a war or something, otherwise if the economy is going to keep on keeping on the way it is with ups and downs and quantitative easing, yeah, well then you've got your standard gold, bitcoin, whatever.
00:48:52.000But I'm talking about in the event of a war or some kind of conflict or crisis, what's a good investment?
00:48:57.000And so I think, you know, like mouthwash.
00:49:19.000So these simple household chemicals that we use all the time for cleaning, for helping ourselves, those are probably good investments.
00:49:26.000But I thought about this, like, if you're going to park your money in anything, in fear of some kind of conflict, what would be a good place to do it?
00:49:44.000I don't know how this would work for a large supply, but I know that there are powders that you can put in gasoline to make it last longer.
00:51:16.000Joe Biden now, he wants to do a bunch of NFA things.
00:51:19.000So they want to, they want to make, um, like, uh, so right now, if you do a pistol with a brace, Joe Biden was saying it's a, that's a short barreled rifle.
00:51:35.000So they want to make that NFA, which means NFA means it's National Firearms Act. It means you
00:51:39.000got to, it takes a year to get. It's like, you got to go get your fingerprints. You got to go
00:51:41.000file paperwork. You got to pay 200 bucks per item. They want to make it more difficult.
00:51:45.000In that instance, the guns actually go up in value because they're harder to get.
00:51:48.000So it's a good investment, but we got some big gun news.
00:51:53.000So we were just talking about all of the things that have happened that have been very fortuitous for this country if a war with China were to happen.
00:52:04.000Notably, People are moving out of cities, decentralizing the economy.
00:52:15.000If a bomb drops on New York, and everyone's working there in the same building, you could wipe out a whole oil company.
00:52:19.000Now you've got everybody, not only have they moved out of the city, they're in different parts of the country, and they don't even have to come into the office.
00:52:33.000Record number of guns and ammo being sold.
00:52:35.000And as that saying goes, I don't know if it's true, it would be impossible to invade the United States because there's a gun behind every blade of grass.
00:52:42.000Now we have this big, this big news from a couple days ago.
00:52:45.000California assault weapons ban disrespects freedom, federal judge writes.
00:52:58.000For more than three decades, California has banned certain types of semi-automatic rifles, including the AR-15, under an assault weapons ban.
00:53:06.000On Friday, a federal judge threw out the ban, ruling that it violates the Second Amendment to the United States.
00:55:02.000I don't know how any of those people would really become proficient in time for a war with China.
00:55:07.000Unless of course, I mean, I'm sure there's some number of them who already owned guns, but didn't have an AR.
00:55:11.000We got like a laser bullet targeting device that you put in the chamber and then it allows you to like hit a pad on the wall and it tells you how accurate you are, but it doesn't have like the kick of the ballistic.
00:55:23.000It's just a way to train without losing ammo.
00:55:25.000So my first thought is what are they going to try to do to get this decision overturned?
00:55:47.000Because even when I take, like, the devil's advocate position, where I'll be talking to a Democrat or a lefty, and they're like, we gotta have this assault weapons ban.
00:55:55.000My first point is the one I bring up all the time, the one that affects me personally.
00:56:25.000The AR-15 that shoots the .308, legal, but the M1A is not?
00:56:29.000It's like... That just makes no sense.
00:56:31.000Well, I'm sorry, it's also the same, like, you have the Mini-14 being classified, or I'm sorry, the AR-15 is classified as an assault rifle, and then the Mini-14, or an assault weapon, I apologize, and then the Mini-14 is not.
00:56:43.000And so, they fire the exact same round.
00:56:45.000Both can have 30-round magazines attached to them.
00:57:06.000You need something in .556, it'll do both.
00:57:08.000So, whenever I bring up this argument, and I'm seeing it pop up more and more, maybe it's just because I'm paying attention, but a lot of people are pointing out, the reason why we use .556, they're small.
00:57:45.000But we actually have some on the table.
00:57:47.000The AR-15 is also an incredibly popular hunting weapon, too.
00:57:50.000I don't want to forget that because often they will say things like, you can't hunt with an AR-15 or you don't need an AR-15 for hunting, which is ridiculous, yeah.
00:57:58.000I guess I've got, you know, I've got a bunch of bolt-action rifles for, you know, I'm not very well trained or anything, but it's described to me that less moving parts, more accurate, easier.
00:58:12.000Versus AR-15, it's got a lot of moving parts, so that affects accuracy, but less recoil.
00:58:17.000So, I don't, you know, I'm not entirely sure I understand what the argument is from these people, other than, is a gun scary?
00:58:27.000And also, I mean, the AR has been used in many school shootings and many public massacres, but people don't realize it's not as if the maniacs who go do these kinds of things are using the AR because it's a particularly effective weapon for doing that kind of thing.
00:58:37.000In fact, there was one article I read Which is basically hypothesizing that it's the copycat effect.
00:58:43.000Because the AR is not the largest... I mean, the 5.56 is not the largest round you could get.
00:58:47.000You could probably... I mean, someone could use an AK.
00:58:50.000And that has a more powerful round in it, generally.
00:59:09.000The round is bigger, but I think they're shorter.
00:59:11.000I think I figured out why they're making ARs assault rifles.
00:59:15.000Because the letters AR make people think it stands for Assault Rifle, when it means Armalite Rifle, which is the company that built the thing.
01:00:24.000DOJ issues proposed rule on pistol braces model red flag legislation.
01:00:30.000They say, two months ago, Joe Biden announced his first executive actions on gun control, promising that the DOJ and the ATF would issue proposed rules aimed at cracking down on the proliferation of home-built firearms and AR-style pistols that use stabilizing braces, which Biden and other anti-gun advocates want to declare as items subject to the National Firearms Act.
01:00:48.000The DOJ's proposed rule on so-called ghost guns was unveiled a few weeks ago, and today the DOJ released the agency's proposed rule dealing with pistol braces, along with the model red flag legislation the administration is hoping states will adopt in the coming months.
01:01:02.000You can read the full proposed rules here.
01:01:36.000Now, it's really interesting because there's a bunch of people I've been to ranges where they're like, never brace the pistol because then you're like a short belt rifle.
01:01:44.000And I'm like, but you can have a brace and put the brace up against your shoulder and it's okay.
01:01:48.000And like, people are doing this in magazines and stuff.
01:01:50.000I'm like, I'm genuinely confused by like these rules.
01:01:53.000Yeah, the rules are really weird and confusing.
01:01:55.000My thing is, Right now, you can go to a store and just walk in and be like, I would like to purchase that 9mm AR style pistol with a brace.
01:04:13.000I got good advice, but it still is difficult.
01:04:16.000Especially, imagine this, you're in your house, somebody breaks in, and you go for your handgun, and, man, you better know what you're doing with that thing.
01:05:11.000And there are some laws that have been proposed that I've heard from different people on the left to restrict people from purchasing more than, like, it depends on the state, but they'll set a limit on the amount of ammunition a person should be able to purchase, and they'll argue that this would be an effective gun control measure, but the problem with that is people just don't get to the range as often, and they don't get a chance to practice with it.
01:05:31.000And then I believe it was in New Jersey where they banned anything with a magazine capacity greater than five.
01:05:50.000I mean, if you're in an emergency situation, if someone has broken into your house, You're gonna be shaking when- Yeah, well, you're gonna be- Also, like, people don't understand when they don't know about guns or they've never fired one before that it's difficult to hit a target on your first try, and especially if your adrenaline is pumping because somebody has burst through your front door and they're trying to harm you and your family, you're probably gonna miss them.
01:06:08.000Even if you do hit them, it can't take more than one hit to take a person down.
01:06:11.000It's true, it's true, but I do have some good news.
01:06:14.000None of that matters, because in most of these states that ban guns, you go to prison whether or not you hit the person or not.
01:06:19.000It's like someone broke into your house.
01:06:23.000Reminds me of... Oh no, I just want to say, I've had people...
01:06:27.000I have had people who I know ask me, like, well, why would someone need, like, a handgun with 15 or 16 rounds in it?
01:06:33.000It's like, dude, because, first of all, if more than one person breaks into your house, and you only have six rounds, like, you're already done.
01:06:40.000I'm sorry, if you don't know how to use a firearm very well, if you're not very well trained.
01:06:43.000I mean, how often... Man, I want to double-check this, because I don't want to get the statistic wrong, but the majority of the time, when a police officer is aiming at a target, they miss.
01:06:52.000And they train more often than most citizens do.
01:06:54.000So still barely trained. Yeah, that's also true. I have a buddy who was in the military
01:06:59.000And he was a police officer and he said that as a cop he almost never trained which was really unfortunate
01:07:04.000He was not a police officer for very long He left but yeah
01:07:07.000I don't know if police officers are not well trained enough to hit targets
01:07:11.000Then you expect civilians to be able to do so with a limited amount of ammunition in their magazine my one of my
01:07:16.000favorite things You see on Twitter. You'll see these arguments that make
01:07:19.000literally no sense And you know, it's a meme because they all repeat
01:07:22.000themselves clearly having never fact-checked it And there's one going around where they're like, if you can't hit it in 10 rounds, you shouldn't be shooting at it.
01:07:30.000And I'm like, so you're saying I should hit 30 to 50 feral hogs with just 10 bullets?
01:07:34.000Also, I get it, 30 to 50 feral hogs is a meme, but you just carry more magazines.
01:07:41.000Stupidest thing they're like you should only have ten so there was a guy who actually there's a sheriff He did a video where he was like, you know using lower capacity magazines But more of them and the guys the times were negligible in between Because when you have a handgun you just press the release and then you put it in and you start shooting again And then when it comes to like an AR you pull the release and you put in the magazine you start shooting again people like these arguments about capacity size ...are empty platitudes from Democrats who are just trying to give something to gun control people.
01:08:09.000But I will say, if they keep gaining ground on this, eventually it'll be like, bolt action or nothing!
01:09:17.000There's a bunch of different weapons you can get that are semi-automatic rifles that function, and it's just... The AR is just a... It's a good working mechanical device, so... What does AK stand for?
01:09:27.000You guys know off the top of your head?
01:10:51.000Yeah, it could be like a year and a half long false flag.
01:10:57.000Like, the Gulf of Tonkin happened in a day, but this, they're just like, yeah, the Antifa thing, they just want to get us ready.
01:11:03.000I don't know about that, but I do know about this.
01:11:06.000From The Daily Caller, Twitter suspends former Treasury official after he compared Brian Stalter to the GIMP from Pulp Fiction.
01:11:15.000This is not newsworthy, but considering, for those that are just tuning in or didn't watch the last segments, we were talking very, very seriously about war and gun rights, and I was like, and now we need to slam into a brick wall of nonsense to kind of calm down and have a good laugh At the expense of others.
01:11:36.000So the reason I'm starting with this, and we're going to be ragging on Brian Stelter, it's not because somebody compared him to the GIMP from Pulp Fiction, but more so because he is being slammed.
01:11:48.000Quote, This is how state TV functions.
01:11:51.000Glenn Greenwald rips CNN's Brian Stelter for fawning over White House's Jen Psaki in one of the most sycophantic interviews of a state official you'll ever see.
01:12:04.000But I want to just stress the point that Brian Stelter is the guy who completely, who routinely ragged on Fox as the state propaganda, it's the propaganda arm of the state.
01:12:15.000And then give him the opportunity and he just gives, I wouldn't even call it a softball interview, it was a whiffleball interview.
01:12:21.000He was lightly tossing whiffleballs to Jen Psaki, who then hit him straight out of the park.
01:12:26.000Well, here's what happened on the Daily Caller.
01:12:27.000They say, Internet accountability project founder Mike Davis and former Treasury official Will Upton were temporarily suspended from Twitter for comparing CNN anchor Brian Stelter to the character Gimp from the movie Pulp Fiction.
01:12:41.000Twitter first suspended Upton on Sunday night after he made a post that mocked the anchor.
01:12:45.000Stelter had asked Press Secretary Jen Psaki what she believed the media doesn't accurately cover about the Biden administration.
01:12:53.000Fun fact, Brian Stelter, is that is the gimp from Pulp Fiction.
01:12:58.000Upton's initial tweet read, which was followed up by a gif of the character from the 1994 film, Oh, so they restored it!
01:13:08.000Upton was suspended shortly after posting the tweet, but had his account unsuspended a few hours later after successfully appealing the suspension, The Federalist reported.
01:13:16.000Upton tweeted that he simply pointed out that comparing a public figure to a fictional movie character does not violate the terms of service, saying, LOL, this tweet got me temporarily suspended from Twitter.
01:13:28.000I simply pointed out that comparing a public figure to a fictional movie character does not violate their terms of service.
01:13:34.000Shortly after Upton was unsuspended, Davis was then temporarily suspended from Twitter for defending Upton's post, according to the Federalist, citing that he had violated rules against hateful conduct on the site.
01:13:45.000You really put big tech critic W. Upton in a Twitter jail for comparing Brian Sutter to The Gimp in Pulp Fiction?
01:13:51.000I'd be very upset if I were The Gimp as well.
01:14:23.000Now, a lot of people were polled, and it turns out around 6% of people said that had they known about Hunter Biden, they would not have supported Joe Biden, which would have been more than enough for Trump to take many of the states he would have needed to win.
01:14:41.000They do just enough to make sure milquetoast channels like this one survive, but then get rid of anybody who's posting anything too edgy or too controversial, and they suppress it and they shut it down.
01:14:56.000They say, The country announced the move two days after the platform temporarily froze the Nigerian president's official account on Wednesday for allegedly violating its abusive behavior policy.
01:15:06.000Quote, the federal government has suspended indefinitely the operations of the microblogging and social networking service Twitter in Nigeria, a news release from the Nigerian Minister of Information and Culture, al-Haji Lai Mohammed's office stated.
01:15:21.000In a Friday statement announcing the move, Mohammed cited the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria's corporate existence.
01:15:29.000As a reason for the decision, according to the press release, the Nigerian government did not provide more details on how it will carry out the suspension of the tech giant's operations in the country or on the activities Mohammed mentioned in his statement.
01:15:40.000An aide at the ministry told Reuters, wait and see how things will turn out.
01:15:44.000I don't know how I feel about this, right?
01:15:46.000So again, the gist of the story, Twitter has suspended, Twitter is suspended in Nigeria after suspending the president.
01:15:53.000I don't know how I feel about that, but I kind of think it's an important move.
01:15:58.000Again, I'm not sure, I'd have to think through it, maybe have some arguments and hear some people, what they think.
01:16:03.000The criticism I suppose is, A government shutting down social media?
01:16:13.000What if they're sharing real information, trying to challenge?
01:16:15.000What if it's like, you criticize Kamala Harris, and then she uses the government to shut down social media because they don't like what's happening?
01:16:25.000The difference here, though, is that Nigeria blocked Twitter because Twitter was interfering with its politics.
01:18:47.000I'm curious how that would have played out if he can even have accomplished something like that given he was going to be out of office soon.
01:18:51.000I mean, the Biden administration would surely overturn something like that immediately.
01:18:54.000It is interesting because it's an American company operating in America.
01:18:57.000The government doesn't have the power to do so.
01:18:59.000But for Nigeria, it's a foreign corporation operating in their borders.
01:19:03.000They very well could just be like... So Twitter's learning that some countries aren't going to put up with their nonsense.
01:19:09.000I think it's the same thing with the Florida law that they were talking about DeSantis was going to pass, that if Twitter bans some people in Florida, but Florida was like, hey, you can't do that, that Twitter would just get banned out of Florida as well, like they just did out of Nigeria.
01:19:24.000Or block their own activity out of Florida.
01:19:25.000All I know is for a nation to say that they don't want a foreign corporation to limit their leader's abilities to communicate with their citizens is not a bad thing.
01:19:38.000That just seems completely reasonable and straightforward.
01:19:39.000The thing is, at what point is that considered a foreign corporation anymore?
01:20:06.000From some libertarian, I would imagine, to build this gigantic boat that would just be in international waters at all time, making this huge route around the world.
01:20:15.000And it was for the ultra wealthy, for them to run their businesses so that they wouldn't have to pay an income tax anywhere.
01:20:23.000And what you said just reminded me of that.
01:20:24.000Like, imagine at some point they're going to have these space stations.
01:20:26.000Maybe that's what Elon's trying to do.
01:20:28.000He just wants to go to Mars so he can be like, look, I'm not in America.
01:21:36.000That's where the excitement lies in reality, my friends.
01:21:39.000You know, we've been in this period for a couple decades where it's been extremely routine.
01:21:44.000You know, our conflicts have been... it's been so nice, it's been so good, that the crisis we've faced has been rich people ripping off poor people.
01:22:57.000Lithium is a potent psychiatric drug, one of the primary prescribed medications for bipolar disorder, but it's also an element that occurs naturally all over Earth's crust, including in bodies of water.
01:23:06.000That means that small quantities of lithium wind up in the tap water you consume every day.
01:23:11.000Just how much is in the water varies quite a bit from place to place.
01:23:14.000Naturally, that made researchers curious.
01:23:17.000Are places with more lithium in the water healthier mentally?
01:23:20.000Do places with more lithium have less depression or bipolar, or most importantly, of all, fewer suicides?
01:23:25.000A 2014 review of studies concluded the answer was yes.
01:23:28.000Four of five studies reviewed found that places with higher levels of trace lithium had lower suicide rates.
01:23:34.000And Nasser Ghaimi, the Tufts psychiatric professor who co-authored that review, argues that the effects are large.
01:23:40.000High lithium areas, he says, have suicide rates 50 to 60 percent lower than those of low lithium areas.
01:23:46.000Quote, in general, in the United States, lithium levels are much higher in the northeast and
01:23:51.000east coast and very low in the mountain west.
01:23:54.000He told me in a new episode of the Vox podcast, Future Perfect, and suicide rates track that exactly.
01:23:59.000Much lower suicide rates in the Northeast, and the highest rates of suicide are in the Mountain West.
01:24:04.000If you apply that 50-60% reduction to the US, where about 45,000 people died by suicide in 2016, you get a total number of lives saved around 22,500 to 27,000 a year.
01:24:15.000That's likely too high, since you can't reduce suicide rates in places that are already high lithium.
01:24:20.000GAMI's own back-of-the-envelope calculation said we save 15,000 to 25,000.
01:24:24.000Well, Seamus Ian, if it saves one life... Then we have to do it.
01:24:30.000Yeah, so I think what Vox is saying is that if we put a psychoactive drug in our water supply, people will be happier.
01:24:37.000Um, although if you go ahead and look at the Royal Society of Chemistry, they just released a paper that says, continuous electrical pumping membrane process for seawater lithium mining will eventually be pulling the lithium out of the water and then utilizing it that way.
01:24:49.000Either for batteries or for feeling better!
01:24:51.000You know what I was thinking a lot about this?
01:24:54.000There's a meme going around where it's a guy, he's at a psychiatrist's office, and he says, every day I wake up with existential dread and my life is meaningless.
01:25:01.000And the doctor says, best I can do is give you pills that make you think everything's okay.
01:25:34.000They argue that one of the things about institutional racism and generational poverty, people from poor areas, they drink dirtier water, it affects their mental health, they have less access to good schools, all of that stuff, right?
01:25:49.000Well, I'm a shining example of all of those things.
01:25:52.000Southside of Chicago, public school, uh, you know, low-income family, homelessness.
01:26:01.000I wake up, I'm like, gee, I wonder what's on the news.
01:26:03.000A little boring sometimes, like I mentioned before.
01:26:04.000Like, you read the news and you're like, oh, that again.
01:26:06.000But I'm always interested in seeing, like, news stories, UFOs, whatever, talking about this stuff.
01:26:11.000It's either that there's people that are activated, like, there's a .00001% of the population that's so, like, able, that's just, like, the evolution of a human, that you're able to, like, break through all the crap, or that there's a way to activate the human body and become that, and for whatever reason you seem to have mastered.
01:27:17.000Just, you know, I was working at a homeless shelter and some non-profits, and then my apartment burned down and made everything kind of crazy.
01:28:16.000Nobody cares about what's gonna happen tomorrow.
01:28:19.000Yeah, I can't remember if it was on the after show or not, but we had a conversation about how a lot of these people don't have kids last time.
01:28:26.000Got in a little bit with Keane saying, in the long run we'll all be dead so who cares, and he didn't have any kids and that kind of thing.
01:28:34.000When you're asking the question about why do we need lithium in the water, which again is something I'm also completely against, I think that's a very strange opinion to have, and also a very strange opinion to have and admit to having, as this person felt called to do in this article they wrote.
01:28:48.000But some of it just breaks down, and I hate to overly pathologize, but some of it's just chemical.
01:28:52.000I mean, there are some people who could experience all the things you've experienced, or the things I've experienced, or any of us have, and react completely differently to them, just based on their genetics.
01:29:00.000But I think a lot of it is the way you choose to react to things.
01:29:04.000I think kids, I think not having kids has been a big, big, big, big problem for millennials.
01:29:09.000You know, there was a super chat where they were saying that in response, we did a story about that valedictorian or whatever, where she was like, you know, pro-choice or whatever.
01:29:17.000And then someone commented that your dreams don't disappear when you have kids.
01:29:22.000In fact, the moment they had the kid, it was like, all of a sudden, all they could think about was the future and the work and the passion.
01:30:01.000I'd be willing to bet, I could be wrong, that the left has a predisposition towards less kids and the right has a predisposition towards more kids.
01:30:08.000That's why leftist policy tends to be more gimme gimme gimme.
01:30:11.000Right-wing policy tends to be more personal responsibility.
01:30:14.000You've got to, you know, do hard work to succeed because they want people to plant the tree whose shade they know they will never sit in.
01:30:20.000The leftists are kind of like, I don't want to pay my loans back.
01:30:24.000That's one of the biggest issues for men on the left.
01:30:38.000Now, to play devil's advocate on that one, I think you can make an argument that part of the reason they don't have kids is because they have these massive loans so they can't settle down and buy a home and get married and do all the things you would do before having a family.
01:30:48.000Right, but why do you go to college in the first place?
01:30:50.000I don't think the kind of person who's planning to have a bunch of kids is going to be somebody who says, okay, let me just take on, you know, $80,000, $100,000 worth of student loan.
01:30:58.000This won't affect my kids' future lives at all.
01:31:00.000Well, I think a lot of people don't think about that when they're 18.
01:31:04.000But that's also kind of a weird problem, because historically, if someone wasn't ready to have or take care of children by the time they were 18, people sort of assumed there was something wrong with them.
01:31:12.000I mean, if, let's look, a hundred years ago, if an 18-year-old man was not capable of supporting a family, people would assume that there was a problem with him.
01:32:07.000I remember a time in my life Where there would be a movie or a TV show that I wanted to watch, and I just, like, wouldn't be able to.
01:32:14.000And nowadays, anyone can watch whatever they want, whenever they want.
01:32:18.000They can order whatever kind of food they want, unless they're just in the middle of nowhere and don't have access to the things people generally have in society.
01:32:24.000I mean, we are so comfortable, and it's not doing us any favors.
01:32:30.000We didn't have debit cards when I was a kid.
01:32:32.000You had to take a check to the bank, and they'd give you money, or you'd have to write a check, and they'd have to check with Clear.
01:32:37.000It'd take, like, a week to Clear or whatever.
01:32:39.000That helps because I'll buy and sell and my finances are probably magnitudes better than they would have been 30 years ago because of my access to digital currency.
01:32:47.000Do you remember those commercials when debit cards became a thing and it was like the Visa check card comes out and it was like people were like dancing in line at the cafe and just like swiping their card and then like a guy walks up and he's like fumbling with his wallet and they're like no!
01:33:02.000I didn't realize, when I was a kid, it didn't mean anything to me.
01:33:39.000Yeah, well, I think there's also a lot of truth in that.
01:33:41.000People constantly seek comfort instead of doing the right thing or the things that will improve their life because they've been accustomed to having anything they want at any time they want.
01:33:48.000So, at some point you do become depressed when that's the lifestyle that you've been living.
01:33:52.000There's a point, so this is a point to borrow from someone else once again.
01:33:55.000Actually, my dad, he made this point a while ago when speaking to a group of people.
01:33:59.000He asked them, like, do you think you had a better life than your parents did?
01:34:02.000And basically everyone raised their hands.
01:34:04.000And then he said, do you think you're a better person than your parents were?
01:34:08.000And basically no one raised their hands.
01:34:10.000So he said, well, maybe it's not such a bad thing that hard times are coming.
01:34:13.000Maybe your kids are going to be better people than you.
01:35:06.000And the newsroom's coming along with it.
01:35:08.000We've got new people potentially, you know, we're going to be hiring soon.
01:35:11.000We're looking for some field reporters.
01:35:12.000We're probably going to have some staff individuals who literally will just fly around the country covering the stuff on the ground.
01:35:18.000And there's a very serious issue with undercover and investigative reporting we're going to do with security and safety, but your membership is going to be funding all that, so sincere thank you to everybody.
01:35:35.000Dynasite13 says, based Guatemalans, if we say that here in the US in protest, we get called insurrectionists while commies burn cities down.
01:36:30.000Jay Schwiffer says the $2.3 million in Bitcoin paid to the Colonial Pipeline hackers was seized by the U.S., according to CNBC and Reuters.
01:38:52.000I mean, I've seen a little bit of the podcast, but I mostly used to watch him when he was doing commentary.
01:38:56.000I mean, there's a big difference between, like, a comedic personality who's not involved in politics, who forays into it, versus, like, a show that's, like, dedicated to cultural politics and political news.
01:39:07.000So, like, you know, maybe the real issue is if H3 exists for, you know, cultural, like, mainstream pop stuff, then drama's really, really good for them.
01:39:19.000I don't- I don't- I don't, uh, uh, drag on a lot of the stuff too much.
01:39:22.000Like, if something comes up and I comment on it, I'll, you know, try and move on as quickly as possible.
01:39:28.000Uh, depending on the issues, if they're cultural or political.
01:39:30.000Like, I tweeted, uh, an invite to Andy Ngo to come on the show, simply because this actually has serious ramifications for cultural and political issues.
01:39:36.000But when it comes to, like, talking about movies or whatever, I'll- I'll make my tweet about a movie and then, like, I'm not gonna keep talking.
01:40:17.000Was he interviewing Steven or something?
01:40:19.000No, he was just kind of talking about Crowder.
01:40:20.000It was just like a back and forth meet between the podcasts.
01:40:23.000And speaking of the comments I previously made, well, we have a super chat here.
01:40:28.000Matthew Reckamp says, Tim, I saw your video criticizing Andy Ngo after he got attacked, and I've got to say, I think the fact you had to go to third world countries to find a comparison perfectly shows the point that you seemed to miss.
01:40:47.000But when I heard Megyn Kelly read my tweet, I was like, yeah, that was tactless.
01:40:51.000That was like, it was after the show, I was tired, and I was, like, I found out that, you know, Andy went on the ground, and I was like, we're having a conversation about it with a lot of people, and then I was just like, how dumb, and then I tweeted, and I'm like, probably should have been a bit more tactful than that, but I stand by my opinions 100%.
01:41:05.000The right seems to be so invested in, you know, supportive personality, that they're cheering for, I'm speaking figuratively here, people got mad when I said this, but a lot of people agreed.
01:41:39.000I don't want to rehash it too much, but Andy's invited on the show.
01:41:43.000I know he wanted to come on before, but when he went to London, we don't do remote shows, so I just tweeted him, like, bro, come on the show.
01:41:49.000And we'll have a good professional conversation, because the big difference between cancel culture on the left and whatever's on the right, though there are similarities, I've certainly complained about, I think I'm more than willing to invite anybody I disagree with to come on the show.
01:42:03.000I'm willing to invite anybody I disagree with onto the show and have a conversation.
01:42:06.000And I think most importantly, like, the thing we disagree on is, like, .01% of the entire conversation.
01:42:14.000So I think it's silly for everyone to, like, do whatever.
01:42:50.000I should have criticized it and done it in a better way.
01:42:52.000That being said, she asked him at what point is like enough enough, you know, you're very famous.
01:42:58.000And Andy said that, you know, basically Tim is sitting there in luxury or I forgot which word he said, but without Andy on the ground, we wouldn't know about a lot of these things.
01:43:07.000And I'm like, That's actually my point.
01:43:11.000If Andy sacrifices himself by going into the fray and no one else is covering Antifa as extensively and knows who these people are, we lose all of that coverage.
01:43:20.000You don't need to send a general into Antifa to get the news.
01:44:19.000You wouldn't send these people into certain areas.
01:44:21.000You'd have to find a different journalist, because if the goal is to maximize your output and to be successful, you can't send the best of the best into the highest level of danger.
01:44:33.000If Andy stops doing the work he's doing, then Andy is correct.
01:44:37.000How would we know what was going on if he puts himself at risk that way?
01:44:40.000If Biden was like, I'm going on this next one with the SEAL team.
01:44:44.000People would be like from the front you got to do that cartoon
01:44:50.000But but anyway look I think you know I Think the point has been has been beaten beaten to death
01:45:00.000You know so there's no reason it is a very important conversation
01:45:04.000it is that's why I hope he comes on the show soon to talk about the value of
01:45:08.000Doing it on the ground by yourself and then getting popular and having to you know
01:45:13.000Reconnoiter or recon I describe word agent recalibrate your your function the way you approach the situation
01:45:19.000I went to Venezuela and I got accused of being a spy and was forced to flee the country.
01:46:44.000I- Like, I wasn't coming- I wasn't doing what the left was doing and accusing them of being, you know, a grifter who's just trying to make money.
01:46:51.000I was saying, like, you're going to get yourself hurt.
01:46:59.000Like, I'd love to have this conversation with Andy here.
01:47:01.000Many conservatives, when the news came out that it was potentially Andy and we didn't know, a handful of conservatives and people on the right expressed to me privately how upset they would be if they found out Andy actually did that.
01:47:46.000I will also mention there's a lot of journalists that we know that do on-the-ground work and do report on Antifa, and many have expressed privately that they're going to be moving on or they're planning their big move from field reporting once they become too famous.
01:48:01.000Some of these people used to be on the ground all the time and have now launched podcasts because they are much too famous, and you become a target and it makes you ineffective.
01:48:11.000Wraith Customs Firearms says, Tim, let everyone know the ATF is trying to make millions of us felons overnight again with new regs on braces to make them NFA.
01:48:21.000Tweeted with how to comment on ATF 2021R-08 to stop them because you have reach.
01:48:28.000Shout out to wraithcustomsfirearms.com.
01:48:31.000So, I hope you guys have something on your website that could help.
01:48:34.000I can direct them to wraithcustomsfirearms.com.
01:48:38.000And definitely, we need to get rid of these ridiculous broken gun control laws.
01:53:15.000Honestly, I blend in with them really well.
01:53:17.000Lots of undercover stuff we're looking forward to doing, but probably not the same kind of stuff that Elkief does.
01:53:22.000Ours is going to be more like reporting on the ground, and what we're going to end up doing is having a lot of freelancers.
01:53:31.000That's one way you get around recognizability, I suppose, or notoriety of your reporter.
01:53:36.000They get too well-known, well, you know, you use a group of different people, you get some legit conflict reporters to film, and then you take the footage back, you take their report, and then, you know, we're gonna do stuff like that, so it's all coming soon.
01:54:58.000I think we should provide some kind of Path of citizenship, probably, you know, I don't know, something.
01:55:03.000However, it has to come with a hard stop.
01:55:06.000It has to come with like a, we do this now, we never do it again.
01:55:09.000The problem is, I think that's where we're already at.
01:55:11.000We're already at the point where we're like, okay, well, we'll naturalize these, these, these, these people who are not citizens, but we'll never do it again.
01:55:17.000And then they do it again and they do it again and they do it again.
01:55:19.000I've been hearing stories since I was like six in the eighties where people come over and have their baby in the United States, just so the kid was a citizen.
01:55:26.000And then the mom would leave or the kid would be a citizen.
01:55:30.000Only Tim says, Hey Tim, Seamus, love you guys' work.
01:56:28.000I mentioned this, during the riots in Ferguson and in Baltimore, there were people saying that, there were black activists, Black Lives Matter, saying segregation The end of segregation was bad for them, because it forced them into the white man system, which they were below, because they didn't have the same level of resources.
01:56:44.000And that when they were separate, they had their own family system, they had their own churches, they had their own businesses, they had their own Wall Street.
01:56:49.000So there's a lot of people, and that's one of the reasons they push this stuff.
01:59:19.000Richard Cook says, haha, if you are depending on Californians to repel the Chinese, you are more screwed than I thought.
01:59:25.000China won't invade, they already own the U.S.
01:59:27.000And, FYI, China would invade through South America or Central America, not the West Coast, and then they'd come up over the land.
01:59:35.000I think they would do a series of strategic cyber attacks on critical infrastructure.
01:59:39.000Maybe they would start with, like, our oil production, so that way it would cause economic catastrophe, would reduce our ability to produce and move resources.
01:59:46.000They'd probably then start going after food to create shortages, which would then cause panic, because when food prices get too high, people protest and riot.
02:01:48.000And I kept wanting him to create a community and lead a community, but all he wanted, he was so afraid that everyone else was going to be hostile.
02:05:01.000Because the Chinese communist money is just too good.
02:05:04.000I know, it's kind of paradoxical, isn't it?
02:05:06.000But they've exploited us to the degree where major institutions and businesses are just like, I don't want to offend China because they pay my bills.
02:05:12.000There is a quote which is falsely attributed to Lenin, though it is relevant nonetheless.
02:05:16.000The capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.
02:05:19.000That is the perfect description of the situation with China right now.
02:05:23.000Rex Carsalot says, sorry to break the news, Tim, but Buffalo Wild Wings is anti-2A.
02:05:28.000I've heard they lobby for anti-2A, but haven't been able to find any article sources for that, though.
02:06:41.000We are trying to get a completely different setup, and it's going to require probably like a full studio build, which means the cameras will probably mount in, you know...
02:06:50.000I don't think anybody knows what this room looks like.
02:08:37.000Donald Trump gave Bitcoin probably one of the best endorsements, in my opinion.
02:08:40.000And I'm a big proponent of Bitcoin, so I own a fair amount.
02:08:43.000He said, you know, it competes with the dollar and we want the dollar to be the currency around the world.
02:08:48.000And I was like, wow, what did Trump just say?
02:08:51.000Bitcoin is hard competition for the US dollar and is undermining its position as the global currency.
02:08:57.000Now that's the best endorsement I've heard for Bitcoin because like, even if it never overtakes the dollar, you just straight up said it is on equal footing after 10 years?
02:09:30.000Alright my friends, if you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the URL to this show, and leave us a good review on iTunes or wherever you may be listening to it.
02:09:40.000You can follow us on Facebook and Instagram, at TimCastIRL, and the reason we're, you know, adamant, or I shouldn't say adamant, but the reason we're like, we're gonna do a Facebook, is that It's just where a lot of people are, and we're hoping that a lot more shares will drive people to the website, TimCast.com, because we're launching a newsroom very, very soon.
02:09:57.000I mean, I think our timeline is supposed to be like a week or two.
02:09:59.000I know I said that last time, like, we're getting a new website.
02:10:01.000It was like a month after I said it was supposed to come out.
02:10:03.000But one of the issues that's going to hold us back is we've got to definitely hire these reporters.
02:10:07.000And they've got to be here in time for the launch that we have the newsroom up and running.
02:10:10.000Otherwise, it'll be like a very limited aggregator for the time being.
02:10:13.000But it's all thanks to your membership.
02:10:15.000And I'll just stress, when we launched TimCast.com, we did not expect this many people to sign up so quickly.
02:10:21.000And all of a sudden, I was like staring at a bank account where I'm like, I think we're going to start a newsroom and like hire like crazy and build a crazy website and like, take this, you know, we've got the opportunity to do so.
02:11:03.000I'm just saying, like, not focusing everything on YouTube.
02:11:06.000YouTube is not the end-all, be-all, and too many people are... It used to bother me when people were like, I'm a YouTuber, because in 2006, 7, I'm like, no, you're an internet video maker.
02:11:14.000You're using YouTube as your platform right now, but it's the video that's the power.
02:11:21.000James O'Keefe was kicked off Twitter and he's still putting out videos that are getting massive play and getting millions of views because like he says, James says, content is king.
02:11:29.000But anyway, so subscribe and go to TimCast.com and just right now it's basically like an aggregator for all of my content and the TimCast style clips.
02:11:38.000And the vlog clips and then we've got the members only section but coming soon we're going to have we're going to be commissioning op-eds from other writers.
02:11:45.000We're going to be having like a literal news editor who's going to be you know we're going to have articles op-eds opinions analysis it's going to be your lovable centrist milk toast outlet.
02:11:54.000And we're going to take fact-checking very seriously, and so we're looking to hire a hardcore newsroom journalist whose job is going to be to do fact-checking and investigation, and they're going to be writing most of the day.
02:12:07.000We're looking to commission people to go on the ground and do field reporting.
02:12:10.000We're looking for a dedicated fact-checker who's going to be in a different building, who will then look over the pieces and do independent fact-checking.
02:12:15.000So it'll be double fact-checked from a fact-checker fact-checking the news, and then getting fact-checked themselves.
02:12:20.000And then we're going to have mini-docs, short films, all that stuff.
02:12:23.000And we're looking to also have freelance writers from across the country writing different stories and taking submissions.
02:14:42.000Special shout out to Cast Castle, the newest addition to the TimCast Media Network, because last week I made some bread, made some cricket bread.

02:15:04.000People were like, he's using too much flour.
02:15:16.000I do want to say before I go that I do have a very positive spin on all this nonsense and what Seamus was talking about, how hard times are in fact going to create strong men.
02:15:24.000I think that if you're planning on having kids in the near future, you should be preparing them for the future.
02:15:29.000It's a little bit like when you get to the top of the roller coaster and you know the drop is coming and you just got to kind of grit your teeth because there's nothing you can do about it.
02:15:49.000We are going to have a bonus segment which would get us banned from YouTube instantly if I even mention what we're going to be talking about.
