Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Jan 6 Committee Accidentally DISPROVES Trump Insurrection Narrative w-Jordan Schachtel

00:00:03.000 The January 6th committee is the stupidest crackpot garbage I've ever seen in my life. 1.00

00:00:08.000 These people are despicable. 1.00

00:00:09.000 I view them all as unrepentantly evil scumbags, the embodiment of everything wrong with Congress and our federal government. 0.99

00:00:17.000 And they have released text messages from Trump's inner circle. 0.97

00:00:20.000 And I guess, I don't know what their point was, but they just basically disproved the whole insurrection narrative.

00:00:25.000 They released text messages showing that high-profile conservative personalities, Donald Trump Jr.

00:00:30.000 himself, tons of members of Congress were texting Mark Meadows, chief of staff at the

00:00:34.000 time for Donald Trump, saying, tell him to condemn this.

00:00:38.000 We have to act.

00:00:39.000 It's bad.

00:00:40.000 Shut it down.

00:00:41.000 And then Trump did speak out and condemn it and they still got mad at him. 1.00

00:00:45.000 So if the narrative is that Trump was trying to stage a conspiracy or insurrection when quite literally all the evidence is pointing to these people saying please stop this, they've accidentally disproved their own stupid narrative. 0.55

00:00:55.000 But they're still going for it because now they're like yeah well Laura Ingraham said this is really bad for us and then claimed it was Antifa and it's like... 0.77

00:01:03.000 Yeah, you can still claim a riot is bad for you, or just bad in general, and still think there was Antifa there.

00:01:10.000 At least one of the guys who was there was apparently some Antifa-affiliated guy, but I think the narrative that Antifa was leading the charge is just not correct. 1.00

00:01:18.000 That being said, their narrative is stupid. 0.99

00:01:20.000 But we'll talk about that. 1.00

00:01:21.000 We got a couple other big stories, too.

00:01:22.000 Inflation is alarming, to say the least.

00:01:25.000 The producer price index, I think it's called, is up nearly 10%.

00:01:30.000 So this is like the cost of goods for wholesalers.

00:01:33.000 This is the fastest growth on record.

00:01:35.000 This is...

00:01:37.000 I don't know.

00:01:38.000 I call it apocalyptic because what we're hearing across the, you know, over the Pacific is that this could trigger a global economic collapse.

00:01:45.000 Not just this, but also the fact the consumer price index is massively high.

00:01:49.000 Food prices are higher than they've been in decades, and there's no sign that it's going to get better.

00:01:53.000 And then we got Elon Musk.

00:01:55.000 He's currently tweeting at Senator Warren, insulting her.

00:01:58.000 It's really funny, and we'll talk about that too.

00:02:00.000 Joining us today is Jordan Schachtel.

00:02:03.000 How's it going, man?

00:02:03.000 Do you want to introduce yourself?

00:02:05.000 Yeah, hey.

00:02:05.000 You can pull that mic up and straighten it out.

00:02:10.000 Tim, thanks so much for having me on.

00:02:12.000 I don't know if anyone knows, there's like a mythology surrounding this place.

00:02:15.000 So whenever a new guest enters, we start to talk to our buddies about what it was like.

00:02:20.000 And it's definitely living up to the hype.

00:02:22.000 I saw the skate park.

00:02:25.000 I'm an independent journalist.

00:02:26.000 I run the dossier on Substack right now.

00:02:29.000 I've been doing it for about a year.

00:02:30.000 It's going great.

00:02:32.000 My background is in foreign policy, but I've been covering COVID mania for now the last two years or so.

00:02:38.000 And there's some very interesting developments that we're going to talk about today.

00:02:42.000 I really appreciate you guys bringing me in.

00:02:44.000 Cool, man.

00:02:44.000 Thanks for coming.

00:02:45.000 Wait until you find out about the initiation rituals that are going to happen afterwards.

00:02:49.000 But that's another story.

00:02:50.000 Hey, guys, I do believe it's very important to take their own language and to use it against them. 0.99

00:02:56.000 And that's why I created this shirt that says Freedom Superspreader, which you could exclusively exclusively get on thebestpoliticalshirts.com.

00:03:04.000 And because you do, I'm here.

00:03:05.000 So thanks for having me.

00:03:06.000 I'm excited for this conversation.

00:03:07.000 What's up, everybody?

00:03:08.000 Ian Crosland over here.

00:03:09.000 Happy to be here.

00:03:10.000 IanCrosland.net.

00:03:11.000 Check it out.

00:03:13.000 And I'm also here in the corner pushing buttons, which is my favorite job in the world.

00:03:17.000 I'm happy to be here with Jordan, who came up from Florida, right?

00:03:21.000 Yeah, South Florida.

00:03:22.000 And everybody's in Florida.

00:03:23.000 In the Miami region.

00:03:24.000 I'm sorry to bring you up to our swampland, but I'm glad you're here.

00:03:28.000 I lived here for six years.

00:03:30.000 Oh yeah, that's right.

00:03:31.000 You were near DC.

00:03:32.000 Isn't South Florida literally swampland?

00:03:34.000 The Everglades.

00:03:35.000 So if you go a little west, it's a giant swamp filled with terrifying gators.

00:03:39.000 That's crazy.

00:03:39.000 It's massive, too.

00:03:41.000 I lived right next to it.

00:03:41.000 I lived in the Redlands.

00:03:43.000 Okay.

00:03:43.000 Yeah, for about a year.

00:03:44.000 And Miami's absolutely amazing.

00:03:47.000 But the weather is just apocalyptically bad.

00:03:50.000 Perfect, but we'll get in all that stuff.

00:03:52.000 We have a sponsor, but someone super chatted us something very important, so I'm gonna read that first.

00:03:56.000 It's Alex, what's that?

00:03:57.000 How do you pronounce that?

00:03:58.000 Maggiore?

00:03:59.000 He says, you said last night you play Spelunky 2.

00:04:01.000 Have you made it to the cosmic ocean yet?

00:04:04.000 Absolutely not, that's crazy.

00:04:05.000 I don't even understand this game half the time.

00:04:07.000 I don't play the game enough to actually bother getting to the cosmic ocean.

00:04:11.000 It's just, it's insane.

00:04:12.000 You got to do like ten things in the game with like, But you get four health, and you die once, and then it's like the whole game starts over.

00:04:20.000 So I'm just not even gonna bother with trying to get to that.

00:04:21.000 And then that's like, I think it's what, like 99 levels to beat?

00:04:24.000 Oh my gosh, really?

00:04:25.000 It's crazy.

00:04:25.000 It was hard, it was like watching a friend with like a drug addiction, beating himself, like watching you play Spelunky 2, it was hard to watch.

00:04:31.000 No way, dude!

00:04:32.000 Because you'd be like, AHH!

00:04:34.000 I can beat Spelunky 2 like every time.

00:04:36.000 You have Spelunky 1 unlocked.

00:04:37.000 And Spelunky 2.

00:04:39.000 I got Seated Runs unlocked anyway.

00:04:41.000 The point is, the Cosmic Ocean is a level above wherever I am in terms of playing that game.

00:04:46.000 So that being said, we've got a sponsor tonight, my friends.

00:04:49.000 You need to get VirtualShield.

00:04:51.000 It's a virtual private network service.

00:04:53.000 Go to surfinginternetsafe.com and you can get 50% off of all of their tools, their add-ons for life, and the actual product.

00:05:01.000 You'll get 24 months of online security from the world's easiest and fastest VPN for only $59.88.

00:05:06.000 It's about $2.50 per month.

00:05:08.000 Let me explain something to you guys.

00:05:10.000 Why you should get this.

00:05:12.000 First of all, Virtual Shield has supported us from the very beginning.

00:05:14.000 It's my first sponsor.

00:05:15.000 And, you know, you definitely want to support companies that support us.

00:05:18.000 A virtual private network helps keep your data safe.

00:05:22.000 Nothing is perfect, but there are prying eyes.

00:05:24.000 There are hackers.

00:05:25.000 There are government agents.

00:05:25.000 There are massive corporations.

00:05:26.000 They want to track your data.

00:05:27.000 They want to spy on you.

00:05:29.000 If you want a basic level of security while you browse the web, while you're searching for things, while you're sending emails, doing whatever, you should have a VPN.

00:05:37.000 And I'll give you a really good example why.

00:05:38.000 Right now, one of the stories we're going to cover in just about a minute, Is that people who are having their text messages leaked by the January 6th committee are filing lawsuits against these phone companies saying, stop giving out our text messages!

00:05:52.000 Why is it that your private communications are sitting in a server somewhere for some company and you don't even know who's reading them?

00:05:59.000 And then when some crackpot in Congress like Adam Schiff comes out and he's like, I would like to leak this person's private information.

00:06:05.000 They go, you got it boss!

00:06:06.000 And they give it right to him.

00:06:08.000 Adam Schiff leaked an American journalist's private information.

00:06:12.000 This is why you want virtual private network services.

00:06:15.000 You want end-to-end encryption.

00:06:16.000 Take this stuff seriously.

00:06:17.000 I'm not saying anybody's coming after you.

00:06:19.000 I'm not saying you need to be paranoid.

00:06:19.000 I'm just saying keep that in mind.

00:06:22.000 Go to surfinginternetsafe.com.

00:06:24.000 These guys, Virtual Shield supports the show, and they've supported us from the beginning, so I have much respect for them, and I think it's a great service.

00:07:02.000 And don't forget to like this video, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, and now, let's get into that first story. 0.91

00:07:09.000 You know, when I first saw this this morning, the story about them leaking text messages, I got really angry, because I am disgusted by these establishment shills, these disgusting, vile creatures of Congress.

00:07:21.000 They are cannibalistic, humanoid, underground dwellers who have lurched up from the underground, crawled into Congress, And we just sit back and we're like, yeah, I guess we'll keep voting for these people. 0.50

00:07:29.000 But hopefully now people are waking up and they will vote out all of these people, especially people like Liz Cheney.

00:07:35.000 In the story from The Independent, Donald Trump Jr.

00:07:38.000 sent desperate texts to Mark Meadows during Capitol Riot, urging Trump to take action.

00:07:42.000 He has to lead now.

00:07:43.000 Revelation of texts come as committee votes to support contempt of Congress charge for former chief of staff. 0.94

00:07:50.000 Did I say these people are absolutely vile and disgusting? 0.95

00:07:52.000 Because I'll just keep saying it. 0.94

00:07:54.000 Now, That being said, the release of these texts?

00:07:58.000 Donald Trump Jr.

00:07:59.000 was urging Mark Meadows to get his dad to condemn the riot at the Capitol?

00:08:05.000 Sounds like they did not want it to happen.

00:08:08.000 Sounds like all of these people in Trump's inner circle were like, yo, stop this.

00:08:14.000 And then Trump came out and issued a statement saying that it was wrong and to go home, go home peacefully.

00:08:19.000 So they just effectively debunked their whole narrative.

00:08:21.000 If that's the case, why should any of this continue? 0.95

00:08:26.000 Total clown show.

00:08:27.000 I mean, in a moral civilization, a moral America, Liz Cheney would be shunned from society. 0.99

00:08:33.000 I see her picture on the screen there.

00:08:35.000 As a foreign policy guy, I can tell you all the wars she supported, all the military armament for the military-industrial complex, for all of these special interests.

00:08:46.000 Liz Cheney has the worst of the worst record and the idea that she's like playing along, it shows that there's really, there's two parties in America. 0.98

00:08:55.000 There's the Uniparty represented by Liz Cheney.

00:08:58.000 She is a member in good standing.

00:09:00.000 Unfortunately, most of the establishment Republicans and people in charge are also part of that Uniparty.

00:09:05.000 And then you have Nancy Pelosi. 0.93

00:09:06.000 And this January 6th committee is utterly, utterly ridiculous. 0.72

00:09:10.000 And the fact that she's like, supposed to be like the Republican side, making it authentic, it's absurd.

00:09:15.000 They're like bipartisan support for, you know, Contempt of Congress or whatever.

00:09:20.000 The text messages don't really prove an insurrection.

00:09:23.000 More about everyone kind of panicking, be like, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad.

00:09:26.000 So it's just absurd to see them still complaining because this obviously disproves everything that they were talking about.

00:09:33.000 They claim that this was orchestrated.

00:09:35.000 This was all planned.

00:09:36.000 They try to take, obviously through the text messages, this is not true.

00:09:40.000 We're also learning today that a DC that the DC Attorney ... General is going to be going to be suing the Proud Boys and ... Oath Keepers because of the January 6th attack so to me this ... is all about just the total dominance of political power ... in the establishment to keep it with themselves and to make sure.

00:09:57.000 Of course Trump doesn't have any political power going ... forward in the next election there's also going to be local ... elections and I think they're just kind of fishing for ... whatever they could get so they could hit the other side ... the other side isn't just as good again it's all about power ... it's all about authority and they're trying to consolidate ... as much of it as they can and it's absolutely authoritarian ... than it is investigative at all if we're going to investigate ...

00:10:20.000 Why not get the text messages of, you know, Mr. Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell?

00:10:24.000 Let's release that to the general public, or the videos or the footage that the FBI is holding to themselves.

00:10:28.000 I would want to know that.

00:10:29.000 I don't care what these people are doing, freaking out.

00:10:32.000 You know the worst, I think the worst person in Congress probably is probably Mitch McConnell.

00:10:37.000 Absolutely.

00:10:37.000 And then the reason I say that over like Nancy Pelosi or whatever, It's like Nancy Pelosi's overt, you know?

00:10:44.000 What is it saying?

00:10:44.000 The better the devil you know?

00:10:46.000 Yep.

00:10:46.000 Like when Nancy Pelosi comes out and she's like, and her teeth are falling out and she rips up Trump's speech, I'm like, I can see the disdain.

00:10:53.000 I can see the vile behavior.

00:10:55.000 Mitch McConnell just like sticks his head in his shell and then does nothing. 0.99

00:10:59.000 But people vote for him, and then you expect to get some kind of resistance with what the Democrats are doing, but he's effectively standing in the way of regular Americans as the Democrats, you know, go and do their crackpot garbage. 0.92

00:11:11.000 I don't remember who said this, but they said that the Republicans are the Washington generals to the Democrats' Harlem Globetrotters. 0.79

00:11:18.000 Absolutely.

00:11:19.000 And it's all faked, it's all rigged, it's all like world wrestling entertainment.

00:11:23.000 I tweeted a photo today of Mitch McConnell elbow-bumping Nancy Pelosi.

00:11:29.000 And the caption read, if effing the poor people was a handshake, this would be it. 0.71

00:11:35.000 And that's absolutely what they're doing.

00:11:36.000 They're screwing over hard-working average Americans who are just trying to live their lives, and they're playing this theater, this show, to try to convince you that the other side is the lesser of two evils.

00:11:48.000 Meanwhile, they're working together in collusion. 0.72

00:11:51.000 They're two heads of the same snake, and they are a den of vipers.

00:11:55.000 They are sinister, Reptilian-like beings that are cold-blooded and don't give a damn about you or your friends or your family or the future of this country. 0.99

00:12:04.000 They're selling this country to the highest bidder and you're getting screwed. 0.99

00:12:07.000 That's all figurative.

00:12:08.000 Do you think it's the people or the positions that turn the people into those things?

00:12:13.000 I think it's a combination of both and it also depends on the individual. 0.91

00:12:16.000 For example, Henry Kissinger, I think he's a corrupt, personal, sociopathic, crazy person that just thrives off of creating policies that create human misery for the benefit of his friends. 0.87

00:12:27.000 That's my personal perspective and opinion. 0.63

00:12:29.000 Other people I believe were entangled in the system came into the system and they were told fix the system from the inside make it better you could fix it just by being a part of it but you just have to sell out on this small issue and then this small issue and then this small issue and then they get them hanging out with Mr. Epstein they get the videotapes of them and then Bada bing, bada boom, they got them in their pockets, a part of the larger extortion operation.

00:12:51.000 And now they're coming to them saying, hey, we need this unpopular bill passed that's going to screw over your constituency. 0.96

00:12:57.000 You're going to have to pass it or we're going to release the dirt that we have on you.

00:13:01.000 And that's essentially Washington, D.C.

00:13:03.000 politics that we're seeing unfold right now and a part of why so many unpopular policies get passed.

00:13:09.000 That's one example of it.

00:13:10.000 The other is just sociopathic individuals.

00:13:12.000 The most amount of sociopaths are located per capita in Washington, D.C.

00:13:16.000 for a specific reason.

00:13:17.000 What's that part of the brain where they say that sociopaths have like an underdeveloped or small one?

00:13:22.000 The amygdala?

00:13:23.000 Is it the amygdala?

00:13:24.000 I wonder if we could do like, is there like a cat scan or MRI you can do on like members of Congress to make sure and be like, hey, look at that. 1.00

00:13:33.000 They're all psycho. 0.60

00:13:34.000 And drug test them. 0.95

00:13:35.000 I want drug tests on all members of Congress.

00:13:37.000 All right.

00:13:38.000 I want term limits.

00:13:39.000 I want all the restrictions they put on the general public put on them.

00:13:42.000 But who votes on that?

00:13:43.000 That's the problem, is that they need to vote for restrictions on themselves.

00:13:47.000 Yeah, they're not going to do it.

00:13:48.000 Of course.

00:13:48.000 You know, it's like, this would actually be like a great sketch.

00:13:50.000 It's like you get some principled politician, maybe like a Rand Paul or something, and he's like, I've got a new bill that says, you know, we're all going to have to undergo drug testing and anything we pass to the American people, and then you'll get like a bunch of politicians.

00:14:02.000 That sounds really, really good.

00:14:04.000 And so we're going to vote on this bill, Rand Paul.

00:14:06.000 It's a bill to give us a raise.

00:14:07.000 Thanks, Rand Paul, for your time.

00:14:09.000 All in favor of giving us a raise?

00:14:10.000 And they all raise their hands.

00:14:11.000 And then Rand is just sitting there going like, oh, well, some people argue that they should be given a raise so they won't be tools for the multinational corporations that buy them out.

00:14:21.000 I think, you know, the best example, I think George Carlin was the one advocating for this.

00:14:25.000 Put advertisements on their suits for whoever endorses them and gives them money, which they have to wear everywhere they go.

00:14:31.000 I think that's more of an honest perspective.

00:14:32.000 It's a funny idea, but these companies will be like, they'll have dinner with the guy and be like, look, you know, here's a, here's a hundred dollar plate, you know, on K street.

00:14:40.000 Hope you enjoy the steak.

00:14:42.000 We need you to pass this bill because it's going to be really great for the production of our thing, you know, our, our product.

00:14:47.000 And then maybe a half a, half a million dollars might find its way towards your super pack.

00:14:53.000 Exactly.

00:14:53.000 That's how it's done.

00:14:55.000 You can have a lobbyist go and meet with Nancy Pelosi.

00:14:58.000 Somehow she ends up worth hundreds of millions of dollars on a congressional salary. 0.99

00:15:02.000 Congress is allowed to inside trade as long as there's like a little bit of room between them and their broker.

00:15:08.000 I mean the system that's set up is utterly absurd.

00:15:11.000 They're abusing it. 0.97

00:15:12.000 It's so ridiculous. 1.00

00:15:14.000 It's such a farce. 0.99

00:15:15.000 They're all taking part of it.

00:15:17.000 I don't know if you saw there was a news report today that all these congressmen and senators are trading inside information on pharmaceutical companies and they're just like kind of allowed to do it for some reason because they're again they're the ones that make the rules so they're never gonna impose a limit on themselves unless there's like a giant national movement that says enough is enough.

00:15:36.000 I got it.

00:15:38.000 I got it.

00:15:39.000 You know, I'm thinking about what would Ron Paul do?

00:15:42.000 And he's always talking about competition.

00:15:44.000 I say we create a second Congress to compete with the other Congress and they pass rules on each other.

00:15:50.000 Maybe another country to compete with this.

00:15:54.000 We need more competition in this country.

00:15:56.000 But the only way that would work is if there was free movement between the other country and people could choose to live there instead, which is actually true for a lot of countries and nobody wants to go live there.

00:16:04.000 Organized competition, you know Americans. 0.84

00:16:06.000 I mean you can move to a lot of places and they'll welcome you and you don't got to do anything You just live there.

00:16:11.000 I know people who just moved to Mexico and Mexico is like awesome.

00:16:13.000 Yeah, great Yeah, and there's a lot of expats all over Latin America who are taking advantage of a lot of freedoms that they're granted And also a lot of health care that usually is a lot better and a lot cheaper than it is here in the United States especially in major urban areas, so there is a huge movement of of expats people expatriating even to Puerto Rico because

00:16:34.000 of ...

00:16:34.000 the the tax liability that they're able to get away with ...

00:16:37.000 down in Puerto Rico rather than of course in the United ...

00:16:41.000 States so there's there's been a huge movement of this and I ...

00:16:44.000 think it's it's only going to be kind of exacerbated ...

00:16:47.000 especially with countries like Mexico saying hey this this ...

00:16:51.000 mandate stuff is absolute nonsense we don't believe in ...

00:16:54.000 punishing our population we don't believe in locking down ...

00:16:58.000 actually doing the right thing and I think that Mexico has ...

00:17:02.000 A kind of clear headed approach towards this madness that we're dealing with but but back to this kind of hyper politicization January 6th committee meeting this is a sign of just again the political parties at odds with each other using dirty tricks abusing authority because the Democrats as we talked about on the show before their literal stance on everything is like hey we're not Donald Trump.

00:17:26.000 That's not a stance.

00:17:26.000 That's not helping anyone.

00:17:28.000 That's not doing anything. 0.96

00:17:29.000 That's them complaining about somebody, which is ridiculous.

00:17:31.000 It's not Democrat-Republican. 0.81

00:17:33.000 It's like you were saying, Jordan, Uniparty versus like populist, I guess.

00:17:37.000 Statist versus people who believe in freedom.

00:17:39.000 And I think there's a whole bunch of statists.

00:17:41.000 And I think that should be the true kind of political spectrum that we should be dealing with and talking about rather than left and right.

00:17:46.000 But one of the issues, I suppose, is that the progressives are typically, like, the populists left in this country aligns themselves more with the Uniparty.

00:17:54.000 So with the Republicans, you have, you got some crazy Republicans, you got some weirdos, but the right-wing populists dominate the Republican Party right now.

00:18:03.000 The left-wing populists are on the ground begging for scraps.

00:18:06.000 And so what they do is they, you know, they beg Hillary Clinton for the endorsement, they beg Joe Biden, and then Joe Biden's like, I'm gonna forgive student loan debt if you vote for me!

00:18:16.000 And then all the leftists and all the progressives are like, yes, vote for Biden! 0.99

00:18:19.000 And then Biden's like, heh, you dumbass, I'm not forgiving anything! 0.96

00:18:24.000 And now the latest news is Joe Biden says he's not going to forgive any... We try to tell these young people, idealistic, starry-eyed, Joe Biden is not the man you think he is, but they vote for him anyway. 0.99

00:18:35.000 They support the establishment.

00:18:37.000 They like to defend massive multinational corporations and then act like they're the progressives.

00:18:42.000 I got to tell you this, the weirdest thing to me is that All of us here, I'm assuming you Jordan, I don't know your politics on free speech and stuff, but I think we're all to the left of Hassan Piker and Vaush when it comes to social media and big tech and corporate influences.

00:18:57.000 Which brings me to that story specifically.

00:19:00.000 We have this story.

00:19:02.000 From tipcast.com, popular Twitch streamers Hasan Piker and Vosh banned from platform for racism against white people.

00:19:09.000 Literally.

00:19:10.000 Now, I'm actually going to... I've got some criticism for... First, I've got criticism for Hasan, absolutely.

00:19:17.000 But I've got criticism and some defense for Vosh. 0.99

00:19:20.000 Vosh, I don't think cared at all, overtly stated he was going to say the racial slur, laughed, got banned, and laughed again.

00:19:29.000 So my attitude towards Vosh is, if you publicly say, these companies are private companies, they can ban whoever they want, and if you use a slur you'll get banned, and then you literally go on the channel laughing saying you're gonna do it, I'm like, yeah.

00:19:41.000 Like, you're just trolling.

00:19:42.000 Like, he knew he was gonna get banned.

00:19:43.000 It's not hypocritical.

00:19:44.000 I just think he shouldn't be saying the racial slurs, and I think he has bad ideas on, you know, massive multinational corporations.

00:19:51.000 But I'm not gonna say it's hypocritical for him to be laughing about it.

00:19:53.000 Now, Hasan is the guy who actually puts out videos where he says that people on the right should follow the rules, and they just want to make their own right-wing echo chamber and own the libs, but because they break the rules, they get banned. 0.82

00:20:05.000 Well, he literally went on his channel and said that he's allowed to say racial slurs, particularly if they're against white people.

00:20:11.000 And now he's gotten a ban for it.

00:20:12.000 The important thing here is Twitch bans are not bans.

00:20:15.000 They're like, they'll reinstate you at some point.

00:20:19.000 So they don't call it suspension or whatever.

00:20:20.000 It's the weirdest thing.

00:20:21.000 They're like, I got banned for this and then, but they reinstate you tomorrow.

00:20:24.000 It's not really a ban.

00:20:26.000 Yeah, they're gonna be back, I think, in a very short time, especially with their user base, whatever they have, saying, hey, please get these people back on this platform.

00:20:34.000 But I still don't understand why people have to describe other people as salty, delicious snacks.

00:20:40.000 I don't get it.

00:20:41.000 What is that reference to?

00:20:42.000 Oh, oh, oh!

00:20:44.000 Delicious!

00:20:46.000 Luke's a big fan of Cracker Barrel.

00:20:47.000 It's his favorite restaurant.

00:20:48.000 I absolutely love Cracker Barrel.

00:20:49.000 So, um, anyway, I think you know what word was used.

00:20:53.000 And, uh, no, I'm pretty sure on YouTube you're allowed to say cracker and Karen and all that stuff.

00:20:57.000 Because, uh, YouTube agrees with Hasan in the context.

00:21:01.000 Twitch apparently doesn't, which is weird.

00:21:02.000 Now, I will say, though, I don't think you can call someone a cracker.

00:21:06.000 What happened was, I think Hasan directly said, you are an effing B.A., you know.

00:21:11.000 There you go.

00:21:12.000 In general, you want to avoid calling people names on social media.

00:21:16.000 That draws the ire of admins.

00:21:18.000 Even if it's a nice word, if you use it as a name-calling tactic.

00:21:22.000 But here's the craziest thing to me.

00:21:24.000 When it comes to the idea of left or right in terms of the economic sense, Vaush and Hassan, and I normally don't like to talk about other internet personalities, but this is relevant towards the conversation of the commons, and these are two of the biggest commentators on the internet.

00:21:40.000 Hassan, I believe, is the biggest on the left.

00:21:43.000 How is it that we here at TimCastIRL are to the left of them when it comes to this particular issue?

00:21:48.000 I'm not gonna pretend we're to the left of them on a bunch of issues relating to businesses, but we are to the left, or at least in the lower quadrant towards libertarian.

00:21:57.000 Yeah, I think when it comes to social media, this is more about authoritarianism and libertarianism, statism versus freedom, more so than it is about left versus right.

00:22:06.000 Where I fall relative to Hassan and them, I don't know, but I think I'm definitely On the libertarian aspect.

00:22:13.000 But this is the reason why I say we're to the left, even Luke is to the left of them on this issue, is that what we're talking about is private corporate power taking over the commons.

00:22:23.000 Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc.

00:22:24.000 have seized the spaces in which we communicate and started exerting their will to force politics in a certain direction.

00:22:32.000 That is not government, that is not state, that is private power that has built up enough of it to seize the commons Now, I'm pretty sure, Luke, you're opposed to censorship on these platforms.

00:22:42.000 Absolutely, and especially the collusion that a lot of these big tech companies, including Amazon, have with the Pentagon, have with the CIA, and how much they work hand-in-hand together, which makes them not a private entity, but a quasi-state private entity that, of course, colludes together for the personal benefit of the ruling elites and creates billionaires that have way too much power, way too much control, Only because of the government allowing them to have this.

00:23:06.000 So I wouldn't even argue on the, yeah, absolutely fascistic.

00:23:09.000 I wouldn't even argue that I'm on the left.

00:23:11.000 Again, the spectrum is either you're a statist or you believe in freedom.

00:23:14.000 I believe in absolute freedom.

00:23:16.000 Stop having multinational corporations colluding with Jeff Bezos, with Amazon, with Prime, with Twitch and all that.

00:23:23.000 It's just too much government interference, too much policy directed in the benefit of them that's screwing everyone else over, giving an unfair advantage to regular competitors.

00:23:33.000 To an extent, but Gab, Minds, Rumble, Odyssey, all these platforms exist.

00:23:39.000 The issue is they have monopoly power.

00:23:41.000 Exactly.

00:23:41.000 Well, if you look at a lot of the infrastructure that Facebook, that Google, that Amazon have built, they have built it on U.S.

00:23:50.000 tax-paying dollars.

00:23:52.000 That, of course, incentivizes and worked with the intelligence agencies and a lot of other people within the Pentagon that helped them have an unfair advantage on everyone else.

00:24:02.000 So when you look at the collusion that's been happening, I would argue that it is absolutely not a private enterprise.

00:24:08.000 It is an enterprise that, of course, has its benefits.

00:24:10.000 And just like it hit people on the right, it's eventually going to hit people on the left because censorship, of course, knows no bounds.

00:24:17.000 Eventually, it has in this instant, but they're going to get their channel back.

00:24:20.000 But later down the line, I think this larger kind of censorship stick that hit the right predominantly more than the left is eventually going to wipe anyone else who has even a smidget of anti-establishment within them.

00:24:32.000 Smidget?

00:24:33.000 Yeah, smidget.

00:24:34.000 Smidgen?

00:24:35.000 Smidgen.

00:24:36.000 That's a word, right?

00:24:37.000 I love it.

00:24:38.000 Smidgen is a word.

00:24:41.000 I'm curious as to what your stance is on... I radically err on the side of individualism and free markets, but I do understand how difficult it is if you're looking at Google, which may have a 100-year monopoly on the search engine before anyone really competes with them, So we're talking about an issue that could take the course of our lifetimes to correct.

00:25:06.000 But what kind of action do we want to see on that front?

00:25:08.000 Do we want our corrupt Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi coalition, do we want them to deal with it?

00:25:17.000 Or do we want individuals to deal with it somehow?

00:25:20.000 And obviously there's no perfect answer to this because we would have had a solution already.

00:25:24.000 And as Tim said, there's Rumble, there's all these other startup sites, Donald Trump's getting in the mix with a social media site.

00:25:32.000 We'll see what happens.

00:25:33.000 But I think Google Uncontested has the biggest monopoly and they are the biggest threat.

00:25:40.000 As opposed to like, you know, Facebook, maybe who knows what kind of staying power they have.

00:25:44.000 Twitter, they might self-immolate at this point with their, you know, woke CEO and the social justice warriors that run the site. 0.95

00:25:50.000 But I think Google has a very serious monopoly.

00:25:53.000 They not only have a monopoly on the search, but they have a monopoly over our minds essentially because So, 99 point whatever percent of the population still uses Google.

00:26:02.000 You're getting all of your results from Google.

00:26:04.000 Google is like a state, as Luke said, is basically like a state enterprise at this point, and it's very much a threat to our civilization.

00:26:10.000 For the fans of Vosh and Hasan who may end up watching this, or may be watching it, I'll give you a very simple explanation for the issue with Control of the Commons.

00:26:21.000 Would you agree that conservatives don't want to use preferred pronouns?

00:26:27.000 I think the answer most people, regardless of left or right, would say, well, of course, conservatives don't want to use someone's preferred pronouns.

00:26:33.000 So on Twitter, for instance, and many other platforms, they enforce the use of these pronouns.

00:26:38.000 Now, if you're on the left, you may agree with that.

00:26:41.000 I'm not telling you you're not allowed to feel that way.

00:26:43.000 By all means, you can have that opinion.

00:26:45.000 Okay, I respect you having your right to your opinion.

00:26:47.000 The issue then becomes, if that is clearly and discernibly a left-wing position, and the right is at odds with it, the rules on Twitter directly and negatively impact the right and not the left.

00:27:00.000 That is a rule on the platform.

00:27:02.000 Deadnaming is banned.

00:27:04.000 This is overt.

00:27:06.000 Now, you can say, and what the left simply says is, Tim's arguing in favor of transphobia or whatever.

00:27:10.000 I never said that.

00:27:11.000 I'm saying, just understand, if you know conservatives say, I don't want to use your pronouns, then the rules favor the left.

00:27:18.000 Ergo, you are in a left-wing echo chamber where big tech firms are controlling the narrative and forcing it in a certain direction.

00:27:25.000 Now, of course, for many on the left, they're like, well, that's good because they're pushing my ideas.

00:27:29.000 Great.

00:27:30.000 By all means, feel that way.

00:27:31.000 But now, don't deny that the rules are absolutely set up to be negative, to be detrimental to the right.

00:27:39.000 Probably because the people who run these companies agree with you on those opinions.

00:27:42.000 Well, when you've got, you know, 80 or so million people in this country who don't agree with that, then I think it's fair to say we have a very serious problem.

00:27:51.000 Now, you know, Hassan has done one of the things, one of the videos I watched from him recently was him talking about the right doesn't want to use conservative platforms because they want to own the libs.

00:28:02.000 And what they don't understand, what Hassan needs to understand, is it's not about owning the libs, because obviously, Hassan, you do content where you own the cons.

00:28:08.000 I mean, that's a common thing regardless of your political faction.

00:28:11.000 It's the issue that Twitter owns the commons.

00:28:14.000 They own it.

00:28:15.000 Parler doesn't have nearly enough people to even talk to, to debate, to question, to engage with.

00:28:21.000 The same is true for Rumble.

00:28:23.000 The same is true for Minds.

00:28:24.000 These are platforms, you know, good for them.

00:28:26.000 Getter.

00:28:27.000 I mean, it's great they exist.

00:28:28.000 But people want to be in the comments.

00:28:31.000 They want to walk up to their neighbor and say, I humbly disagree.

00:28:34.000 And some of them want to screech.

00:28:35.000 Well, we don't like it when people screech.

00:28:37.000 But how are you even supposed to debate the idea of misgendering if you get banned before you can even say it?

00:28:43.000 So imagine if you went to the town square and the mayor was using the police force to beat you and kick you out because you said Black Lives Matter.

00:28:50.000 And that happens too, and it's wrong.

00:28:53.000 The rules are absolutely slanted, and that's a problem.

00:28:56.000 We're also being ruled by algorithms.

00:28:58.000 Algorithms that can't really figure out discernment.

00:29:01.000 So whenever you say something that's on Google's no-talk list, they will hit you, no matter what the context.

00:29:07.000 And a lot of individuals do get hit, especially smaller channels, smaller individuals with less subscribers, who of course are trying to legitimately talk about an issue, but because of YouTube stigmatization, They can't there's so many history channels on YouTube that got nuked that got utterly destroyed for simply just talking about history and a perspective that is important to understand but you can't on YouTube because of the algorithm because of AI deciding

00:29:36.000 If you're going to have a voice in our current society and that to me is absolutely ridiculous and when the left was celebrating this kind of political censorship cheering it on I said it's only a matter of time until they get you I think we're reaching that kind of major bridge that it's affecting them and I think it's only going to affect them more just like Antifa they use Antifa the state knows everything that Antifa does they know all the individuals are part of their institutions the intelligence agencies have a database of all their names are going to use them but after they're they're done taking out the people on the right That's the next people that we're going to go after.

00:30:06.000 Let me just stress, when it comes to the January 6th committee, they just got the text messages from how many people?

00:30:13.000 Members of Congress.

00:30:15.000 Mainstream media journalists.

00:30:16.000 Donald Trump Jr.

00:30:17.000 journalists.

00:30:18.000 They just went to the phone companies and said, we'd like their private communications.

00:30:22.000 And they went, you got it, boss.

00:30:23.000 And then they released it to the public.

00:30:26.000 Amazing.

00:30:27.000 Now, somebody chatted us.

00:30:29.000 Have we ever had Michael Malice and Vosch on at the same time?

00:30:33.000 That sounds like a good idea.

00:30:34.000 Yeah, it does.

00:30:35.000 I don't know if you guys, Vosch or Michael, you'd want to be down for something like that.

00:30:38.000 But, you know, I was like, I don't want to keep just having the same people on, but that actually does sound like a fun show.

00:30:43.000 Yeah.

00:30:43.000 I wonder, you know, because Michael's just like overtly anarchist and Vosch is a libertarian socialist, so I think there'd be a really interesting conversation there.

00:30:50.000 That'd be fun.

00:30:51.000 Well, you heard it here.

00:30:52.000 We'll reach out and see what people are up to.

00:30:54.000 Let's talk about some America.

00:30:57.000 So that's where we went there, and now we're just doing a hard segue right to this story from CNBC.

00:31:02.000 Wholesale price measure rose 9.6% in November from a year ago, the fastest pace on record.

00:31:09.000 The pace was even faster than the estimate, 9.2.

00:31:12.000 The core producer price index increased at a 6.9% pace, a bit slower than estimates, but still the fastest ever in records, dating to August 2014.

00:31:20.000 Of course, we also have news.

00:31:23.000 I think they bring this up here.

00:31:24.000 That for the consumer price index as well, it's also massively up.

00:31:28.000 So basically, long story short, inflation is through the roof.

00:31:32.000 The M1 money supply.

00:31:34.000 So this is what I did on my main channel today.

00:31:35.000 I pulled up the M1 money supply from March of 1986, when I was born, until today.

00:31:42.000 From the month of my birth until the 2008 crisis, the money supply just narrowly doubled.

00:31:52.000 From $800 billion to $1.6 trillion.

00:31:55.000 From that point forward, we get to the pandemic year, where the money supply, due to how they track the money, the savings accounts, they said now savings are effectively checking, the money supply increased, I think, like five times.

00:32:08.000 From something like $2 trillion to like $16 trillion.

00:32:12.000 That's not two times, that's like eight times.

00:32:13.000 But I could be wrong, I think it was, I think, no, I'm sorry, five times.

00:32:16.000 And I think it might have been three.

00:32:18.000 But since then, since May of 2020, We have added, I think, something like $4 or $5 trillion to the money supply.

00:32:26.000 And now, the Democrats are proposing raising the debt ceiling another $2.5 trillion.

00:32:32.000 Joe Biden puts out that video where he's like, we pay our debts in America, that's why I'm raising the debt ceiling!

00:32:37.000 And it's like, that's not paying your debts, that's taking out a credit card to pay off loans, that doesn't work.

00:32:41.000 Eventually, the debts come due and you default.

00:32:45.000 So I'll tell you this, very simply put, What we are seeing now with this wholesale price increase, it's like watching the initial tsunami start coming in.

00:32:53.000 The water starts pouring over the seawall.

00:32:56.000 The pandemic was when the water line receded and all the water went away and we're like, where'd the water go?

00:33:00.000 Now all that water is rushing back faster and higher than ever.

00:33:05.000 And we're seeing these signs.

00:33:07.000 I have a feeling that next year is going to be apocalyptically bad.

00:33:11.000 And I wonder if we're entering like Weimar Germany era.

00:33:14.000 Like back in the day, in the Weimar era, they were shoveling bills like in the gutter.

00:33:18.000 It was so worthless.

00:33:19.000 Like Venezuela levels.

00:33:21.000 In the fiat currency era in college, they tell you about Keynesianism, about modern monetary theory, all this nonsense to kind of cloud your brain.

00:33:30.000 But it's as simple as what Tim discussed a second ago, is that if you print a lot of money, the money is going to be worth less.

00:33:37.000 If you print trillions of dollars, there's trillions of more dollars in circulation, and that means your purchasing power is drastically reduced.

00:33:44.000 That CPI index is actually based on a basket of goods that isn't really like there's other stuff in there that can make it way higher and if you were to calculate it from the 80s consumer price index it would be almost 20% at this point inflation so that that's the kind of numbers that we're talking about and the idea that like oh this is America so we're never going to see hyperinflation That's kind of a dangerous hedge to make, especially because we've only been on fiat currency for 50 years.

00:34:13.000 So, you know, it's already these hyperinflation incidents have happened, I think, in 60 countries now since then. 0.84

00:34:19.000 So the idea that it can't happen in America is a little foolish.

00:34:22.000 And you even have Jack Dorsey of Twitter openly mocking the idea that it's transitory. 0.89

00:34:27.000 Yep.

00:34:27.000 Yeah.

00:34:28.000 Jack Dorsey tweets in quotes, transitory.

00:34:31.000 Take a look at this from the M1 Money Supply.

00:34:33.000 So, a lot of people like to point out that this major spike is a change in reporting, and we shouldn't really talk about it, which is BS.

00:34:40.000 It used to be that you could only transfer out of your savings account six times to your checking account, which meant savings were meant to be saved.

00:34:46.000 Well, because of the pandemic, they said spend away, spend whatever you want to the money supply, immediately exploded.

00:34:52.000 Look at this.

00:34:53.000 From 4 trillion, 4.7 trillion, up to 16.2 trillion.

00:34:59.000 However, let's ignore that metric, and let's talk about the current rate of growth in the United States.

00:35:04.000 From May of 2020, we were at 16.2 trillion, to today, we're at 20 trillion in October.

00:35:12.000 Look how much that's grown.

00:35:15.000 Just about $4 trillion in a year and a half.

00:35:18.000 Now take a look at the month I was born, March 1986.

00:35:21.000 $633 billion.

00:35:21.000 look at when out the month the month I was born March 1986 633 billion how long

00:35:26.000 did it take for that to double it was let's see where we go what we're trying

00:35:31.000 we're trying but it's going down it's going up it's going down and there we go

00:35:35.000 2003 from 1986 doesn't three to go up six hundred billion dollars now we're

00:35:42.000 up trillions of dollars already in the span of a year and a half

00:35:45.000 Look at percentages.

00:35:46.000 So in a year and a half, it went up 25% basically.

00:35:50.000 And now, go back to the date of your birth.

00:35:52.000 How long did it take to get 25% up?

00:35:54.000 To 900.

00:35:56.000 Up there, from wherever it was.

00:35:57.000 I don't know, three, four years?

00:35:59.000 It took six years.

00:36:00.000 Six years.

00:36:01.000 So it took us one year now.

00:36:02.000 A year and a half to go up a quarter.

00:36:04.000 That was 30 years ago.

00:36:05.000 But you gotta understand too, I don't think it makes sense to go percentage-wise.

00:36:09.000 I don't think it makes sense to go percentage-wise because as...

00:36:14.000 The money supply from $16 trillion, it's happening too fast.

00:36:18.000 So it's going to be exponentially bad, right?

00:36:21.000 The effects of the mass printing of money, the trillions of dollars in spending, we're not going to feel.

00:36:26.000 We're not going to feel that immediately.

00:36:27.000 It's going to take time.

00:36:28.000 So what I imagine is likely going to happen is you see that chart showing inflation is a major spike where it's like up to 7% and now the producer pricing index is up, you know, 10%.

00:36:38.000 What are we going to hit?

00:36:39.000 Max Keiser said we were at 15% inflation.

00:36:41.000 They're lying.

00:36:42.000 So that means what?

00:36:42.000 Yeah.

00:36:43.000 Are they going to officially start reporting 15% by mid next year?

00:36:46.000 I mean, it's going to be the apocalypse for the Democratic Party.

00:36:49.000 It might just be that one day, you know, 10 years down the line, we'll wake up and just realize that our purchasing power is basically worthless under the dollar.

00:36:58.000 I think that a lot of people have this image in their heads of one day we're just going to be Weimar, Germany, and we're going to be shoveling stuff in

00:37:05.000 wheelbarrows.

00:37:06.000 And maybe that day will come.

00:37:07.000 But inflation seems to be creeping up on us.

00:37:11.000 If it's 10% compounding, 10%, 10%, 10%, then your purchasing power has been significantly

00:37:16.000 reduced over five years.

00:37:17.000 And I think that's the thing that a lot of people don't see coming, is this creeping

00:37:21.000 You do see the prices rising, but the prices will continue to rise.

00:37:24.000 Your purchasing power will go slowly, slowly deteriorating.

00:37:28.000 And that's, I think, the big issue right now is that slow road to a useless dollar.

00:37:32.000 Well, financially, we have to understand the trends usually correlate with the actions weeks and months from those actions.

00:37:39.000 What happens now is going to correlate in the market in a few months from now.

00:37:44.000 And that's why in the beginning of COVID, I said, hey, the major factor here that's really going to hurt people is going to be financial.

00:37:50.000 Keep an eye on the financial markets.

00:37:51.000 It's absolutely crazy what's happening right now.

00:37:53.000 The US national debt has just crossed over $29 trillion.

00:37:59.000 And I believe Tucker Carlson had a very good talking point just a few days ago.

00:38:03.000 He said young people don't have any possibility to have any economic opportunity, no opportunity for any kind of mobility financially, and that's why people are going over to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

00:38:15.000 And I think we are seeing a transition for a lot of people Not trusting the financial markets, because how can you?

00:38:21.000 They're not playing by any rules.

00:38:23.000 They're not playing by the math rules that are designed to that specific understanding of how things work.

00:38:31.000 They're creating their own rules.

00:38:32.000 They're just pressing zero on a computer and giving it to their friends.

00:38:37.000 Meanwhile, those zeros are having a real-life impact for everyone's purchases.

00:38:41.000 Every time you go to the supermarket, you see it, you feel it.

00:38:44.000 And the average person is having a harder and harder time making ends meet, and it's only going to get worse from here, from my perspective.

00:38:50.000 I'll tell you, the difference between what we had and what Weimar Germany had is that they were burning dollars or Deutschmarks, I think it was, in wheelbarrows. 0.62

00:38:58.000 We don't even have paper anymore.

00:39:00.000 It's all digital.

00:39:01.000 So like, if our currency goes belly up, we don't even have paper to burn or cotton to burn.

00:39:06.000 At least they had toilet paper, you know?

00:39:07.000 At least the Venezuelans... Well, if you're cold outside, and you've got, you know, blankets of... Carbon fuel of some sort, you can keep yourself warm. 1.00

00:39:18.000 We just got a number on a screen that, you know, doesn't do anything for us.

00:39:21.000 I think that this economic suppression is driving people to extremism in so many ways.

00:39:28.000 One of it is cryptocurrency.

00:39:29.000 It's an extreme evolution of currency.

00:39:31.000 The other is Antifa.

00:39:32.000 This extreme street violence.

00:39:34.000 People feeling disincentivized or whatever.

00:39:38.000 Disenfranchised is the right word. 1.00

00:39:40.000 So, and they're lashing out in different ways.

00:39:43.000 Some people are intelligently evolving the economy, some people are just smashing stuff up.

00:39:47.000 It seems like it's all relative.

00:39:48.000 I really think we've reached a point where this kind of financial calamity, this kind of destruction of our economic system is almost done deliberately.

00:39:56.000 Because if you look at every action the government is taking, it's making it that much worse on everyone else.

00:40:01.000 How else could you explain giving the military-industrial complex a $20 billion bonus when they didn't even ask for it?

00:40:08.000 How can you explain just the reckless spending?

00:40:11.000 How can you explain the Build Back Better bill?

00:40:13.000 How can you explain raising taxes on everyone else?

00:40:16.000 It's just absolutely absurd to see.

00:40:19.000 People's savings, people's hard-earned money that they worked their entire lives for literally be eviscerated right in front of them.

00:40:26.000 It's crazy.

00:40:27.000 But here's the good news.

00:40:27.000 So Tucker Carlson talked about how people, millennials, even Gen X, Gen Z, whatever the new generation is, That they're investing in Bitcoin because there's no ability to save.

00:40:39.000 Investing is very difficult to trade and stay up to par with inflation.

00:40:44.000 But the good news about Bitcoin is that it is a clearly superior currency, in my opinion.

00:40:49.000 The fact that Bitcoin has been discovered gives people that exit route so you don't need to be beholden to a two and a half trillion dollar debt ceiling increase.

00:40:58.000 You can save in Bitcoin And Bitcoin is a finite asset.

00:41:03.000 It's free market money, the most sound money ever invented.

00:41:07.000 I think its properties are completely superior to gold's in every sense.

00:41:12.000 You can debate gold versus Bitcoin and Bitcoin beats it in every single way.

00:41:17.000 So I think to add to Tucker's statement about people aren't just, yes people are desperate to find a way to hold on to their hard-earned wealth but Bitcoin also provides them an exit and an actual superior currency to the US dollar itself.

00:41:33.000 So that to me that's the optimistic message is that Bitcoin can be a protective off-ramp to the chaos that's being caused by these politicians and bureaucrats in Washington DC who don't have any of our interests.

00:41:44.000 So let's jump to this story real quick from The Verge.

00:41:47.000 Nike just bought a virtual shoe company that makes NFTs and sneakers for the Metaverse.

00:41:52.000 Now, why do I bring up Metaverse in this context?

00:41:55.000 We're talking about finance and inflation and prices.

00:41:57.000 My friends, hear me now.

00:42:00.000 The Metaverse is going to happen.

00:42:02.000 Maybe not Mark Zuckerberg's, but there will be a Metaverse.

00:42:04.000 And it's already happening, apparently.

00:42:06.000 A couple just got married in the Metaverse.

00:42:09.000 Cryptocurrency will likely be the currency and tracking mechanism by which you own to whatever extent you can own a digital piece of property.

00:42:19.000 Now when they say you'll own nothing and you'll be happy in that World Economic Forum video or that article, they're talking about physical objects.

00:42:26.000 But I genuinely believe the singularity will happen.

00:42:29.000 I believe that Bitcoin is going to be a currency for this new digital world.

00:42:35.000 NFTs are going to be how you own unique objects in this new virtual reality.

00:42:40.000 And this is where everyone is being pushed towards.

00:42:43.000 With the collapse of the US economy and the crisis we're seeing, more and more people are being told, why don't you get cryptocurrencies?

00:42:49.000 I mean, we advocate for this stuff.

00:42:51.000 We don't tell you any advice, but we love, you know, I'm a big advocate for it.

00:42:56.000 But let's be real.

00:42:57.000 A universal, a global, digital, Trackable monetary system.

00:43:04.000 There's a lot of things bad about that idea.

00:43:07.000 You'll be able to see who has how much money, publicly see how much money a person has, when they spend it and where it goes.

00:43:14.000 Now, of course, there is what Zcash and Monero, I believe, make it much, much more difficult.

00:43:18.000 So other cryptos will emerge.

00:43:21.000 But here's what I see with all of this.

00:43:22.000 You're not gonna get Mark Zuckerberg nuking other companies and stealing a name if he wasn't dead set on doing it.

00:43:28.000 You wouldn't see Nike buying a company that makes virtual shoes.

00:43:33.000 You wouldn't see this big push.

00:43:35.000 While we're all discussing and debating things like January 6th and Antifa and street violence, I think the real Push from the elites what they really want is to get everybody in Some kind of metaverse some kind of digital internet based reality where they're more easily controlled where they're less likely to produce I'm sorry pollute or fight.

00:43:54.000 There'll be less conflict conflict will be digital and it's gonna be like that episode of Black Mirror That's the that's it's the inner universe.

00:44:00.000 We're heading towards and this I think shows it's happening So, I've been talking about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies for a very long time, and I remember interviewing Max Keiser back in the early 2010s, when Bitcoin was first hitting the world stage.

00:44:15.000 And I was like, in London, and I was talking to Max, I was walking with him, and I was like, how do we know that Bitcoin isn't the one world global government currency that they've been waiting to push onto everyone, where they could track, trace, and database everyone on a public ledger and know everything that everyone is doing?

00:44:32.000 And I forgot Max Keiser's response.

00:44:34.000 I gotta watch my old videos in order to see that.

00:44:36.000 But whether it's Bitcoin or another government coin, we know Russia's working on their own kind of cryptocurrency, so is Venezuela, where of course there'll be less protections for personal freedoms and liberties.

00:44:47.000 Right now, if you have a Bitcoin address, it's as private as much as anyone else who knows about it.

00:44:53.000 So if no one knows that I have a Bitcoin address, There could be money coming in and out, no one would know it unless I publicly tell someone I have a Bitcoin.

00:45:01.000 So it might be Bitcoin, it might be another currency, but there are other people using this technology to push privacy coins, push for people to have total anonymity online, total freedom, total privacy, and it's a double-edged sword.

00:45:16.000 I think cryptocurrencies, it's the new internet, and I think just like it could be used for something really bad and really evil and total government control, I think it could also be used for something that could free people, liberate people, and give them privacy, which is absolutely essential in our modern-day society.

00:45:32.000 I think it's great.

00:45:34.000 I think Bitcoin's fantastic.

00:45:35.000 But I do think it's going to be an excellent tool.

00:45:37.000 Cryptocurrency is the blockchain in the upcoming metaverse, the digital world, so whether intentional or not, it's happening.

00:45:43.000 Let's pull up this story real quick and we'll add to the conversation.

00:45:45.000 Florida couple holds virtual wedding in the metaverse while simultaneously getting married in real life, complete with avatars that mimic their exact moves for their online guests.

00:45:57.000 It's not that crazy an idea.

00:45:58.000 I think people look at this and they don't understand the context.

00:46:02.000 There's a lot of people who couldn't travel to be at the wedding.

00:46:05.000 So they did a virtual version so you can put on your Oculus or whatever and watch it happen.

00:46:09.000 I don't think virtual reality in the metaverse is all bad.

00:46:13.000 I just think that there are creepy elites who want to take away your possessions and your ability to work and make money and stick you in a box where you have no kids and then you rot and suffer.

00:46:23.000 I think there's a lot of really bad things about the elites want.

00:46:25.000 Technology's not all bad though.

00:46:27.000 However, I do think we are advancing in a creepy direction and this may actually just be a fad.

00:46:34.000 I do believe we are more likely to be heading into a metaverse singularity type of reality where we're brainchipped by Elon Musk in the next year.

00:46:41.000 That's what he's saying.

00:46:42.000 He's saying next year the chips are going to be available to put in people and do all this stuff.

00:46:45.000 And I do think there's going to be a big push for this.

00:46:48.000 But we also heard, what, 12 years ago or 14 years ago that Verichip, people were going to be getting chips implanted in their hands.

00:46:55.000 And that never really took off.

00:46:56.000 Now we did see in Sweden People are getting the chips implanted in their skin, under

00:47:01.000 their skin, that contains their COVID information. And they walk up to doors and they can scan it.

00:47:05.000 But that's the same thing we saw 14 years ago. It just did not happen. People were not

00:47:09.000 interested in it. Now, is that going to be the same thing with the metaverse? That it's this big fad,

00:47:14.000 Mark Zuckerberg dumps all this money and effort into it, and then everyone says, yo, we don't want 1.00

00:47:18.000 to do your stupid virtual reality thing? 0.99

00:47:20.000 Or are we forced into it? 1.00

00:47:21.000 It's different.

00:47:22.000 I'll just quickly say that we don't have a microchip in our hand, but we have a phone in

00:47:26.000 our hands almost everywhere we go. And some people say that the microchip was replaced by the phone,

00:47:30.000 which essentially almost acts like the same thing.

00:47:32.000 Another thing I would just want to quickly add before going to you, Ian, is that the metaverse is an excuse to put people into the smart grids in major cities and into the social credit scores.

00:47:41.000 That's how I see it from a lot of the elitist perspectives on what they want to achieve with it.

00:47:45.000 Sorry, Ian, go ahead.

00:47:48.000 Oh, the difference, I think, between... what were we talking about?

00:47:51.000 Chipping your hand?

00:47:52.000 Yeah, is that the body... people don't like inserting things inside themselves if they can help it.

00:47:56.000 That's not true, Ian.

00:47:57.000 Well, they don't... I don't.

00:47:58.000 Most people would opt to put on the hat instead of inject the needle into their temple.

00:48:06.000 I know what you meant, I was just making an adult joke.

00:48:10.000 Whereas the body can reject things that you insert into it Whereas the metaverse is just more of like a spiritual Technological evolution bro.

00:48:23.000 Have you guys played with the oculus a little bit?

00:48:26.000 Not yet There's a game called like pirate space robot or some space pirate trainer.

00:48:31.000 It's so good, dude.

00:48:32.000 I It's so good, man.

00:48:35.000 It's crazy.

00:48:36.000 So that was holding the Oculus or the VR back for a while, right?

00:48:39.000 Was that the technology wasn't that good, and now it's good, you're saying?

00:48:43.000 It's been good for a few years.

00:48:44.000 It's wireless now?

00:48:46.000 That's big.

00:48:48.000 Yeah, it's wireless.

00:48:49.000 It uses, like, IR tracking.

00:48:50.000 And so, to Ian's point, yeah, I think you're correct in that regard.

00:48:55.000 Did you know that you can give yourself an additional sense?

00:48:58.000 Yeah.

00:48:58.000 Now it's not, people say there's five senses or whatever, that's not true.

00:49:01.000 Humans have way more than five senses, like people don't count a sense of balance, sense of temperature.

00:49:06.000 But you can actually take neodymium magnets and implant them under your fingertips and then give yourself electro perception or electro sense.

00:49:14.000 So what happens is the magnets will be in your finger, and I personally know people who have done this, And when you move your hand past a power cable in a wall, for instance, let's say there's a wall and you're trying to find out where the cable is.

00:49:28.000 If you have an embedded neodymium magnet in your finger, you can feel the electric fields in your fingertips, giving yourself electro sense by doing this.

00:49:36.000 The problem is the body rejects the magnet.

00:49:39.000 After a certain amount of time, it breaks and your body pushes it out through your skin and it falls out.

00:49:45.000 I heard a lot of stories about dogs that were microchipped getting infections and diseases and cancers near wherever they had the microchip injected.

00:49:45.000 Yeah.

00:49:54.000 Those are some of the stories that I saw on the internet even just a few years ago.

00:49:57.000 So it wouldn't surprise me if they transitioned from, you know, let's inject it to, let's just have it everywhere they go, including when they go poop. 0.57

00:50:04.000 Then how is Elon Musk going to implant the computer chips?

00:50:07.000 Did they figure this out?

00:50:08.000 Have you seen the Neuralink stuff?

00:50:11.000 They're very thin copper wires that make contact.

00:50:16.000 So maybe that is too small to get rejected.

00:50:19.000 They thread them into the outer layer of the brain.

00:50:22.000 They carve out a quarter-sized hole in the skull, and then they thread I don't know, a thousand tiny little fibers into the top layer of the brain, and then that gives the impulses.

00:50:35.000 Ideally, they're going to evolve it so that they don't have to cut the skull open or insert anything.

00:50:41.000 Some people are saying they're going to do it like teeth implants.

00:50:44.000 That's another possibility, but some people even reject tooth implants.

00:50:48.000 Some people can't have them because their body just says, no, I don't want it.

00:50:51.000 And those will be the deplorables.

00:50:55.000 Yeah.

00:50:56.000 All the people are gonna be, you know, synced up in society, and they're gonna be part of the network, they're gonna be like the Borg, and there's gonna be people who are like outside begging for scraps because they're not gonna be able to work.

00:51:05.000 I cannot.

00:51:07.000 bring myself to drill a hole in my head for this.

00:51:09.000 Is that what it says? 0.79

00:51:10.000 That looks like a hole.

00:51:11.000 It's not a quarter size, maybe like a dime or smaller.

00:51:13.000 Now, if I was paralyzed and this could help me walk or if I was blind and it could help me see, it's another... We should look up the monkey because Elon Musk did this to the monkey that was using his brain chip to play a video game with the monkey's own mind.

00:51:30.000 Would you take the chip?

00:51:32.000 Again, I guess if Ian was saying, if the calculation had changed, if I happened to be paralyzed or had some horrible disability that could be fixed with Neuralink, I think I would be very much willing to give it a shot.

00:51:46.000 I mean, what do you have to lose if you're confined to a wheelchair and this company says that, hey, we might be able to make you walk?

00:51:54.000 But that's the PR public excuse they're going to use for total domination and a track, trace, and database society where they're the tech overlords of our existence and we're the peon slaves. 0.92

00:52:04.000 So on that note, I do have to say that as someone who requires kind of expensive medicine, I don't hate big pharma as much as some people, and as someone who may ultimately end up requiring something that'll keep me from being in a wheelchair, I have to say this stuff is kind of exciting.

00:52:19.000 I'm not going to probably voluntarily sign up for Neuralink, but they, when they were researching some of these mRNA vaccines, they found some interesting new treatments for whatever it is that I have.

00:52:29.000 And I was like, that's really neat.

00:52:31.000 So you never know where there's going to be an advance.

00:52:32.000 And I was going to say, one of the things that I'm sure they're probably thinking about right now is how your body is going to respond to keeping this inside your body, because you can't even transplant an organ without requiring anti-rejection medicine for the rest of your life.

00:52:46.000 Because your body does not want any foreign objects in it at all.

00:52:50.000 Like, your body rejects tattoo ink.

00:52:52.000 Your body rejects everything.

00:52:53.000 Maybe this is why they're working so hard towards artificial intelligence.

00:52:57.000 Why?

00:52:57.000 Because the human mind is not programmed.

00:53:01.000 It is developed over a period of time, and it self-generates.

00:53:04.000 There's like a base code, and when a human is born, and over time, the neurons connect, and each individual's brain function is unique, like a brain print almost.

00:53:12.000 So, how do you interface with a brain that is unique to itself, self-grown?

00:53:18.000 When we make a computer, we take the schematic for the computer, we replicate it a billion times, there's our computer.

00:53:23.000 We know how they work, they have interchangeable parts.

00:53:25.000 But each individual human is not the same.

00:53:27.000 Some people use a slightly different part of the brain, it grew in a different position.

00:53:30.000 Artificial intelligence may be able to rapidly map out the key areas of the brain so it can interface very, very quickly.

00:53:37.000 It also looks like that monkey went through surgery.

00:53:40.000 Like they opened up his skull and implemented a chip in there because you don't see any wires on the outside.

00:53:45.000 You see a bald spot on the back of the monkey's head.

00:53:49.000 So it looks like this.

00:53:50.000 And it showed the surgery.

00:53:52.000 It showed the implant being injected after a cut of the monkey's head.

00:53:58.000 So check this out.

00:53:59.000 In the beginning, you can see the monkey is using a joystick.

00:54:02.000 And then I guess later on they get rid of the joystick.

00:54:04.000 Now it's just controlling it with his brain.

00:54:06.000 Oh, it's crazy. 0.95

00:54:07.000 Is he blowing on something or sucking on something?

00:54:09.000 I think it's giving him food or something.

00:54:11.000 No, I don't know.

00:54:12.000 Maybe we should just watch it and they'll tell us what he's doing.

00:54:14.000 And then Elon Musk is looking at human trials in 2022.

00:54:18.000 So next year he's looking at human beings being these monkeys, literally, testing out the brain chips.

00:54:25.000 Here's what I want to know.

00:54:26.000 You're going to be able to type with your thoughts.

00:54:29.000 You're just going to think a sentence and it's going to be on the page.

00:54:31.000 That's right.

00:54:32.000 But let me ask everybody, especially for you guys who are watching the show.

00:54:38.000 There's a lot of people who I think are absolutely craving and desiring this.

00:54:44.000 Begging for it.

00:54:45.000 And it's probably a lot of people who won't admit it.

00:54:47.000 Because this is what I was saying when we had Jack Murphy on the show.

00:54:49.000 I was like, imagine you get up, you walk over to your treadmill, you throw the towel over your neck, you turn on your Neuralink, and then all of a sudden you're at Old Country Buffet.

00:54:59.000 And while you are virtually consuming massive quantities of food and cakes and steaks, filet mignon, all the steak you can eat, you're sitting there eating and then you get full and you're like, that was awesome.

00:55:12.000 Take off the Neuralink and you're running on the treadmill and you stop and you've been running for an hour.

00:55:16.000 You're all sweaty and fit and you weren't even in that, you know, you weren't doing the chore of the exercise.

00:55:22.000 No, I think it's fair to point a lot of people like exercise, but some people don't.

00:55:26.000 And so Jack was like, oh man, you're making it tempting or whatever.

00:55:29.000 There's a lot of people, and beyond that too, what if you could take, you know, you've got the brain chip, and then you could take a little chip that was like, you know, Elder Scrolls XIII, Put it on your brain, turn it, and voom!

00:55:43.000 You're in Elder Scrolls.

00:55:44.000 You're fighting dragons, you're throwing fireballs.

00:55:47.000 They're gonna need to make Elder Scrolls XV cream that I can just rub on my third eye and then I'll install the game for me.

00:55:54.000 You snort it.

00:55:55.000 Yeah, I don't want to insert anything.

00:55:57.000 Sacrifice and pain builds character and builds an appreciation for something.

00:56:02.000 If you're just given something, I mean, obviously the average human being is going to like it for a little bit, but then become kind of apathetic to it and not be happy, not be satisfied because they never truly worked for something that's their own.

00:56:13.000 It was just given to them in this kind of metaverse.

00:56:16.000 And I think this is going to create a society of very unhappy people.

00:56:20.000 And I don't think it's going to work.

00:56:22.000 Have you guys ever seen the commercial for PlayStation 9?

00:56:24.000 No.

00:56:25.000 Do you guys want to see it?

00:56:25.000 Let me play this video for you guys.

00:56:27.000 New for Twitch.com.

00:56:33.000 That's a smart dust.

00:56:36.000 Playstation 9's new electronic spores tap straight into your adrenal gland.

00:56:40.000 Yep.

00:56:42.000 That is legit.

00:56:45.000 PS9 has improved retinal scanning.

00:56:50.000 A mind control system.

00:56:52.000 holographic and we surround vision.

00:56:56.000 I'm telling you, it's not going to be easy.

00:56:59.000 I'm telling you.

00:57:01.000 Telepathic personal music.

00:57:03.000 The ultimate just got better.

00:57:13.000 PlayStation 9.

00:57:16.000 Teleport yours today.

00:57:18.000 Why did they think that it was gonna take five decades, six decades to get to PlayStation 9?

00:57:25.000 I have no idea. Yeah.

00:57:27.000 It's creepy though, isn't it?

00:57:28.000 It's like all quiet.

00:57:29.000 Dude, you're going to be able to do that, but you're going to have like 80 games going on at once in your brain.

00:57:36.000 People are going to evolve to multitask, to be able to think about different things at the same time, and this is going to help train us to do that.

00:57:45.000 In this day and age, you can't even tell if that's parody or not.

00:57:47.000 Like, if you told me, oh, this is an official Sony commercial, Jordan, I'd totally believe you.

00:57:51.000 I have no idea what that is.

00:57:52.000 But separating these, like, parody skits from actual reality, everything is becoming so dystopian nowadays.

00:58:00.000 We're just, like, living in a weird Black Mirror episode when Mark Zuckerberg shows up and says, oh, you're all going to enter the metaverse with me.

00:58:05.000 And we're like, what is actually going on?

00:58:07.000 People will do it.

00:58:08.000 I think most people are going to do it.

00:58:10.000 I think, you know, we are more likely to be the outliers.

00:58:13.000 Steve Bannon talks about it.

00:58:15.000 But Steve Bannon's on the older side.

00:58:17.000 You tell a young kid they're going to be able to actually go into The Witcher and live in that world.

00:58:23.000 You're going to tell them your favorite TV shows.

00:58:26.000 You're not just going to watch the TV show.

00:58:28.000 You're going to be in the room as all of that stuff is happening.

00:58:32.000 You're not just going to watch Game of Thrones.

00:58:33.000 Okay, bad example. 1.00

00:58:34.000 Game of Thrones, I'm going to suck it. 0.98

00:58:36.000 But what's a new hot show? 0.99

00:58:38.000 Hellbound.

00:58:40.000 Or Squid Game.

00:58:41.000 You're not just gonna be watching Squid Game, you're gonna be in the games, running around as the stuff is going on.

00:58:47.000 And, get this, you could actually, they could make shows where you can sit and watch it happen, or you could stop things and then choose to interact with the characters.

00:58:56.000 What if we're in the VR right now?

00:58:58.000 What if we're in the Metaverse as we're speaking right now?

00:59:01.000 Then we're not doing it very well.

00:59:03.000 Let's level up and beat the main quest.

00:59:05.000 I think we're doing very well.

00:59:07.000 I just do side quests first.

00:59:09.000 We're still doing side quests.

00:59:11.000 Oh, I was gonna say something.

00:59:16.000 Speaking of the simulation, isn't that new Matrix movie coming out in a few days? 0.99

00:59:19.000 It sounds so dumb. 0.98

00:59:20.000 They're gonna destroy that trilogy. 0.99

00:59:22.000 They're gonna destroy all the hardcore messaging of freedom and liberty and against the system.

00:59:28.000 They're gonna make it just, I think, a Total pro-establishment, pro-propaganda of our modern day, blue-haired person.

00:59:37.000 That's not very... There's literally one of the main characters is like a blue-haired non-binary person.

00:59:41.000 I remember when I was just saying to these kids, you're going to get like a 10-year-old being like, okay, mom, I'm going into the metaverse and puts on their helmet, goes into their digital shop where they're selling their NFTs and all these, they're like this really well-known salesman in the verse.

00:59:54.000 And then all these people come out and they're buying all this stuff.

00:59:56.000 And the kid comes out an hour later, And pays for his parents food and and like, you're gonna have the, we might see a society where the kids are paying for the adults via their digital presence in the verse.

01:00:09.000 The Matrix got it wrong.

01:00:11.000 In the Matrix, they're like, humans were forced to be batteries for the machines.

01:00:15.000 It should have actually been, humans chose to be batteries for the machines.

01:00:18.000 It's like the Cypher character in the first Matrix.

01:00:22.000 He's like eating steak, and he's like, I want to be back in the Matrix.

01:00:25.000 But you know, I'll tell you one thing that's going to get crazy too.

01:00:27.000 A lot of what we're seeing about identity issues, where people want to be animals, where people want to be dragons, or demon dolls, or whatever.

01:00:34.000 Legit, we talked about the demon doll woman.

01:00:36.000 She identifies as a demon doll, whatever that is.

01:00:38.000 Give me a quack!

01:00:39.000 They're gonna go in the metaverse and they're gonna be that.

01:00:41.000 So when that little kid goes into his metaverse to sell his NFTs,

01:00:44.000 he's gonna be like a giant duck.

01:00:46.000 And then someone's gonna walk in and be like, Duck man, what up? Let me get some of those NFTs.

01:00:50.000 I'll take that one and that one.

01:00:51.000 All those shoes are sick.

01:00:52.000 I'm gonna put them on my avatar right now.

01:00:54.000 And then he blinks and then- Give me a quack.

01:00:56.000 Give me a quack.

01:00:57.000 And then the little kid who's the duck goes, Quack.

01:00:59.000 And then the kid comes out.

01:01:01.000 He leaves the metaverse and he walks into the bathroom.

01:01:04.000 He looks in the mirror and just goes, Hahahaha.

01:01:09.000 And then he puts the metaverse back on and he's the duck again.

01:01:12.000 So who's keeping the lights on while we're on the Metaverse?

01:01:15.000 It's gonna be done via smart contract.

01:01:17.000 The government!

01:01:17.000 The government's gonna be taking care of everyone.

01:01:19.000 Everyone's gonna be on not only just the social credit score, but what was Andrew Yang talking about?

01:01:25.000 You know, a pentence that the government's going to be giving you just to live?

01:01:29.000 What did he call it?

01:01:29.000 Oh, the UBI?

01:01:30.000 The UBI, yeah.

01:01:31.000 A stipend?

01:01:33.000 The propaganda was freedom dividend.

01:01:36.000 How more of a third and backwards could you get?

01:01:39.000 That's a good question.

01:01:40.000 Who is going to be running this thing?

01:01:42.000 Is it going to be the corporation?

01:01:43.000 The corporation!

01:01:45.000 Sounds like an 80s sci-fi movie.

01:01:47.000 The government working with the corporations hand-in-hand in tandem with the intelligence agencies calling the shots, just like they do now.

01:01:53.000 The same way that they do now.

01:01:55.000 On their own unique metaverse, like their own private one that isn't tracked or something, and then they're all And they're going to be GMs, they're going to be moderators, they're going to be admins.

01:02:04.000 You're going to be in the Metaverse, and you're going to be like, hey, you guys want to come with me to, you know, Duck Store to see the new Duck NFTs?

01:02:11.000 And you're going to be walking, and then Mark Zuckerberg's going to be walking by, and you're going to go, oh, hey, look, it's Zuckerberg!

01:02:17.000 And then he's just going to turn his head like a robot, and he's going to go, and then he's going to, you know, have just powers in the Metaverse.

01:02:23.000 He's going to delete your avatar, and you're going to snap out and be like, no!

01:02:26.000 I can't people will work their whole lives to become admins like I just want to be a GM

01:02:30.000 I just want to be a gym and then they finally get it They're 35 and they realize it's not all it's cracked up to

01:02:35.000 be the hours are long Imagine being a moderator in the metaverse like someone's

01:02:39.000 walking around in like a big open space yelling about flat earth or whatever and then a moderator

01:02:44.000 shows up and says You know like you're being banned and then snap the person's

01:02:48.000 gone That's Robocop.

01:02:49.000 Imagine, imagine if in reality people had these kinds of powers.

01:02:53.000 That you could be standing in the middle of public square holding up a sign saying, you know, you know, the end is nigh or end the Fed or something, and then a cop walks up and says, disturbing the peace, snap, and then you just don't exist anymore.

01:03:05.000 Yeah, you could have a metaverse where, like, one guy, you're there doing something, another guy comes up and is like, stop, and wants to destroy you in the metaverse, and he destroys you, but from your perspective, he explodes.

01:03:16.000 And so you both win in your own experience of the reality.

01:03:20.000 I don't see that as being possible if there's a centralized server, but I do think this is a really good argument for why there needs to be, if there is a metaverse, it has to be decentralized.

01:03:29.000 And this would actually be a really cool thing if there was like one big centralized metaverse server and they've got moderators guarding the door and they're like, you can't come in.

01:03:37.000 But you could go to any other server.

01:03:39.000 People could host their own private servers.

01:03:41.000 There'd be crazy servers. 0.98

01:03:43.000 That'd be kind of crazy.

01:03:44.000 I think the problem is all of this is predicated upon whether or not you're going to have a hole drilled into your head and a microchip implanted in your brain.

01:03:51.000 Which you will.

01:03:52.000 And you'll be living under the UBI and the social credit score, and there'll be smart dust flying around everywhere, making sure you're compliant with it, or else it'll be injected into your body and then have the turn-off switch for the... Have you heard about the smart dust?

01:04:04.000 We've talked about it a little bit.

01:04:06.000 That's what the PlayStation 9 commercial was all about.

01:04:08.000 They released the nanoparticles.

01:04:11.000 Yeah.

01:04:11.000 It's been around for a while.

01:04:12.000 Yep.

01:04:13.000 SmartDust is a system of many tiny micro-electromechanical systems, MEMS, such as sensors, robots, or devices that can detect, for example, light, temperature, vibration, magnetism, chemicals.

01:04:22.000 They're used, uh, they're usually operated on a computer network wirelessly, distributed over air to perform tasks, blah, blah, blah.

01:04:28.000 They're a few millimeters.

01:04:30.000 They may be vulnerable to electromagnetic disablement, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:04:32.000 You get the point.

01:04:33.000 It's not.

01:04:34.000 When you say smart dust, a lot of people think it's like tiny and you can't see it.

01:04:36.000 It's like nanotech.

01:04:37.000 For the most part, they're not saying that right now.

01:04:39.000 They're saying it's very, very small sensors and computers that can be used for, you know, tracking, manipulating things.

01:04:45.000 Yeah, but the technology that's being developed along with the metaverse, I think, goes hand in hand with, again, what I said before, the smart grid, the social credit score, and I think it's going to be crucially implemented in a lot of the control grid systems that are already being put into place, that are being developed.

01:05:02.000 Well, we'll start here.

01:05:06.000 Based on what Elon Musk is saying to Elizabeth Warren, he's earned my trust!

01:05:10.000 I don't know.

01:05:11.000 I don't know if I would take the computer implant from Elon Musk, but the story is still pretty funny.

01:05:15.000 Elon Musk feuds with Elizabeth Warren over billionaire taxes.

01:05:19.000 Senator Karen.

01:05:22.000 Billionaire Elon Musk fired back at comments from Senator Elizabeth Warren on Tuesday, telling her to stop projecting and calling her Senator Karen.

01:05:29.000 I'll just show you exactly what happened.

01:05:30.000 Here's on Twitter, Elizabeth Warren says, she posts the Boston Globe, Elon Musk named Time's Person of the Year.

01:05:35.000 She said, let's change the rigged tax code so the person of the year will actually pay taxes and stop freeloading on everyone else. 0.96

01:05:41.000 Elon Musk said, among other things, and if you opened your eyes for two seconds, you would realize I will pay more taxes than any American in history this year.

01:05:51.000 And Elon is correct.

01:05:52.000 The establishment left, with like faux-progressives like Warren, are able to convince these progressives to believe this stuff just by saying it.

01:06:00.000 It's the craziest thing to me that they go, did you know Elon Musk and Amazon paid no taxes?

01:06:06.000 And I'm like, that's insanely not true.

01:06:08.000 There's like, it is objectively false.

01:06:11.000 It makes no sense on its face.

01:06:13.000 Why would you believe that?

01:06:15.000 Because they said it.

01:06:16.000 Elizabeth Warren says it, and it gets repeated.

01:06:18.000 It's just not the case.

01:06:20.000 Yeah, what's the story with that?

01:06:22.000 When they say Apple paid no corporate taxes this year, is that because their costs outweighed, their expenditures outweighed their...

01:06:30.000 It's usually a manipulation because one thing you always have to pay taxes on would be like employment tax, property tax, you've got local taxes, state taxes.

01:06:38.000 Now federally, or even at the state level, they might say, you know, we invested X, we worked out a deal with the city for a tax incentive to put money somewhere, and so quite literally what could happen is the city goes to Apple and says, tell you what, if you spend You know, $500 million, building a factory here with X amount of jobs, then we'll consider that an investment for tax purposes and, you know, give you a tax benefit of X. And then it's like, okay.

01:07:07.000 So the government cuts a deal in exchange for an economic incentive with the company, and then the left comes out and says, but they're not paying taxes!

01:07:14.000 It's like, but they're doing what the government asked them to do.

01:07:17.000 So imagine if they came out and said, no government, I won't do anything you say.

01:07:21.000 And the government would then be like, okay, pay taxes.

01:07:23.000 And they'd be like, okay.

01:07:24.000 And not only that, whenever they say this, they always use weasel words to make it seem like Elon Musk pays no taxes.

01:07:30.000 Elon Musk, I believe, is correct when he says he pays more taxes than any American in history.

01:07:35.000 Huh.

01:07:35.000 Because he's gonna, like, he's selling off all his property.

01:07:38.000 That's gonna dramatically reduce his tax bill.

01:07:38.000 That's huge.

01:07:40.000 But his tax bill was probably insanely huge just off of owning things. 1.00

01:07:45.000 And so basically this is all about the stupid wealth tax, which makes no sense. 0.97

01:07:49.000 Where they're like, we're gonna tax people for cash on things that aren't liquid. 1.00

01:07:53.000 Which is the dumbest idea ever. 0.91

01:07:54.000 Like, you could have this gorilla right here, and then one day someone's like, that's a rare gorilla. 0.99

01:07:59.000 It's worth a million dollars.

01:08:00.000 And then all of a sudden I'm supposed to pay a million dollars because I have a plastic gorilla sitting on my desk?

01:08:04.000 That makes no sense.

01:08:05.000 Yeah, the 0.0001% Native American Senator Karen also really hates cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin and has called for a lot of regulation, a lot of government intervention, and an extremely high tax rate for people using cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin. 1.00

01:08:21.000 So there's the big divide between Elizabeth Warren and, of course, Elon Musk.

01:08:26.000 And Elon Musk has been on a tear lately.

01:08:29.000 He's been making a lot of bold, big statements, specifically saying that he doesn't want the Build Back Better bill.

01:08:34.000 He thinks that bill should be absolutely shunned away.

01:08:37.000 He thinks that the United States government is just a major corporation that has a monopoly of violence.

01:08:42.000 He's been speaking out against a lot of core issues, including VAX mandates, saying that absolutely there shouldn't be any VAX mandates.

01:08:49.000 And it's really interesting to see his talking points.

01:08:52.000 And I think, you know, a lot of times people are changed politically, especially when they look at the taxes that they have to pay out of their paycheck.

01:09:02.000 So I think, you know, most definitely Elon Musk saw the taxes he had to pay and that kind of changed him politically, being like, this is pissing me off.

01:09:10.000 I'm going to voice my opinion since I'm giving so much money to these people.

01:09:14.000 And these multinational corporations, it's very interesting when you do research into them.

01:09:18.000 These bills, these tax increase bills, potential tax increase bills, are going to screw over small businesses, mid-sized businesses, because multinational corporations, I mean I've been covering Pfizer for quite some time now, they can offshore their profits and build a headquarters in Ireland and say, you know, we made 50 billion dollars in Ireland, we're not paying, we're paying 2% in taxes this year because all of our profits are in Ireland.

01:09:39.000 If you're a mom-and-pop shop that generates like a gross revenue of a million dollars, There's no way you're going to be able to offshore any of your profits.

01:09:48.000 So these bills, Senator Warren is a total fraud.

01:09:52.000 If you notice that when she talks about, oh, we're going to go after Wall Street, she never names a firm on Wall Street that she's going to go after because she's in their pocket.

01:09:59.000 And I want to explain something to people about taxes that a lot of these progressives don't understand.

01:10:03.000 kind of becoming based now and he's on the really bad side of the Biden administration

01:10:07.000 to the point where they had a big electric vehicle meeting at the White House and how

01:10:11.000 to craft that bill and they did not invite Tesla.

01:10:14.000 That's like not inviting Sony to the future of video games conference.

01:10:18.000 It's just very bizarre.

01:10:19.000 I want to explain something to people about taxes that a lot of these progressives don't

01:10:25.000 understand.

01:10:26.000 Do you think that Bezos cares about his tax rate?

01:10:30.000 He does not.

01:10:32.000 He's probably like, I got too much money, man, I don't even know.

01:10:35.000 I don't even know.

01:10:36.000 When he gets his paycheck, because Bezos gets $83,000, $81,000 a year, sorry, it's his salary.

01:10:41.000 And then he gets incentives, which ultimately, like bonuses, he ultimately comes out to about $1.6 million.

01:10:45.000 He probably looks at it and goes, oh.

01:10:48.000 Because how much money do you really need to get by?

01:10:50.000 So Bezos has his stock, he has his assets, he has tons of money.

01:10:53.000 But at the end of the day, he gets his paycheck and he probably says, I don't even look at it.

01:10:58.000 He probably just ignores it.

01:10:59.000 Outright, because it's meaningless.

01:11:02.000 No, poor person.

01:11:02.000 I remember, it was like my third job.

01:11:05.000 I was working for an airline out of O'Hare Airport, and I'd worked 40 hours at $10 an hour, and so I was like, alright, so it's gonna be what?

01:11:14.000 It's like, that's $400, and then I gotta pay taxes, so I imagine maybe I'll end up with $300 or $350, we'll see what happens, and my paycheck was like $270-something.

01:11:24.000 And then I got my paycheck and I looked at it and I just was like, I just was like, what the?

01:11:29.000 And then all the older guys were there, started laughing.

01:11:31.000 And they were like, he saw the taxes, didn't he?

01:11:34.000 And then I was like, dude, I'm poor.

01:11:36.000 I can't afford to live.

01:11:38.000 Like working 40 hours at 10 bucks an hour.

01:11:42.000 And then being told that almost half of the money I'm making was like 28% or whatever is taken from me.

01:11:47.000 I needed those hours.

01:11:49.000 I needed that money.

01:11:50.000 I couldn't afford rent.

01:11:50.000 I couldn't afford my car.

01:11:51.000 I couldn't afford healthcare.

01:11:53.000 But when you're rich, and they go, we're gonna take, you've got, your salary is $10 million, we're taking half.

01:11:59.000 You go, I don't know, so what's my paycheck this month?

01:12:04.000 $488,000, whatever, deposit it, I'm sitting on assets, I don't care, I don't even notice.

01:12:08.000 So these tax increases are negligible to a lot of these people.

01:12:11.000 Well a lot of the super rich have called for more tax increases because it makes sure that they stay on top in their competition doesn't have an opportunity to have enough income to be able to compete with them so you know these people want higher taxes because it actually benefits them they want more regulations they want a higher minimum wage.

01:12:29.000 Because at the end of the day, it's destroying small mom-and-pop businesses while, of course, it's benefiting them greatly.

01:12:35.000 And they have other ways.

01:12:36.000 They have so many different incentives, whether setting up offshore corporations and then selling off the intellectual property towards a domestic company here in the United States.

01:12:45.000 There's so many different rules.

01:12:46.000 There's a reason the tax code is as big as it is because there's a lot of exemptions for a lot of powerful people that helped write it, that works in their favor, that obviously screws everyone else who would be competition to those people.

01:12:58.000 Exactly.

01:12:59.000 This Build Back Better bill that they're promoting in Congress and that Joe Biden's all about and all those people are all about, this was crafted by the lobbyists for the giant corporations.

01:13:10.000 It's by and for these giant corporations.

01:13:13.000 It is not to help our economic engine.

01:13:17.000 As Luke said, it's to seal off the competition from these oligarchs. 1.00

01:13:22.000 That's the entire purpose of it.

01:13:24.000 It's this state corporate enterprise.

01:13:27.000 They want to phase out all types of possible competition.

01:13:33.000 Yeah.

01:13:35.000 I was just thinking about taxes, man.

01:13:38.000 I'm just like, I'm going through the numbers and it's interesting that I'm imagining back when I was younger and trying to calculate budget.

01:13:47.000 How many hours this week do I have to work to get by?

01:13:50.000 And how taxes really brutalize you when you're making just enough to be above poverty or whatever.

01:13:55.000 They take taxes out anyway.

01:13:56.000 And it's like, if you got to pay 500 bucks a month in rent, And you can only work 40 hours a week.

01:14:01.000 Like, you're going to be struggling to make ends meet.

01:14:05.000 If you've got rent, food, health insurance, whatever, you want the bare minimum,

01:14:09.000 then any amount of taxes taken out is gutting you.

01:14:13.000 Dude, to be told that, you know, you're gonna lose 230, you know,

01:14:18.000 effectively like 23 hours of the work you did that week or 20 hours of the work you did that week.

01:14:24.000 It's like, why even do it if you're working that much to have it taken away from you?

01:14:29.000 Maybe it's unfair to say that much.

01:14:30.000 Maybe it's like, you know, 13 hours or whatever.

01:14:32.000 The point is, for people who are extremely well off, You could tell an ultra-rich person we're taking 90% and they'd be like, I don't know, I don't care about my income anyway because everything's in hard assets and everything's accruing in value.

01:14:43.000 So what does it even mean to me?

01:14:45.000 It's in property, it's in stocks, and... But this is the problem, then, when they say they want to raise taxes across the board.

01:14:50.000 I mean, even Bernie Sanders' plan, I think, would have still raised taxes for, like, middle class and upper middle class people.

01:14:56.000 And what I try to explain to a lot of people at Occupy Wall Street, for instance, and other leftist activists, What we need, in my opinion, is more tax brackets.

01:15:06.000 Not just to be like, after you make $250,000, we tax you at this percentage.

01:15:10.000 Because somebody who makes $250,000 being taxed, you know, 48% or whatever, or 38% I think it is, then they end up getting take-home about $100,000 or so.

01:15:20.000 But somebody who's making $10 million, who's taxed the same rate, doesn't notice a difference when they're having millions of dollars deposited in their account.

01:15:28.000 I have a little bit of a different perspective.

01:15:30.000 I think there should be no taxes, and if the government wants to launch any project, they have to do it through GoFundMe, and they have to have enough public support and private charity to do so.

01:15:38.000 I think that would be a more rational way to do this than, of course, steal people's money.

01:15:44.000 Yeah, I like that for some, except for like utilities, about like water, the water supply and the power supply, the military.

01:15:52.000 If you look at most power supply companies, especially in California, it is riddled with corruption.

01:15:57.000 You look at Venezuela and their kind of energy companies, when they were of course brought into the state government, it absolutely ruined Yeah, sanitation and access to clean water.

01:16:07.000 Hasn't been updated the government has no incentive in order to provide you any quality of service the private

01:16:13.000 market does and that's why I would argue the government getting involved makes the

01:16:17.000 situation that much worse What about with the water supply because if the water

01:16:21.000 supply goes haywire the government depends on like what aspect and what variability?

01:16:25.000 You're discussing like are we talking about sanitation or we?

01:16:28.000 Cleaning and access. Yeah, who's gonna take my poop from my house? 1.00

01:16:31.000 Luke in your in your and your Ron Paul and Kapistan Paradise

01:16:35.000 Where's poop go you could There's literally companies out there that are developing technology that makes poop into energy and power.

01:16:45.000 So the private market would be, again, way better.

01:16:48.000 I'm not saying it's going to be a perfect system.

01:16:50.000 Obviously, with any system, there's going to be some kind of harm. 0.99

01:16:53.000 There's going to be some kind of idiot that ruins it for everyone else. 0.98

01:16:56.000 But I think Overall, there would be a lot less harm, a lot more 0.98

01:17:00.000 economic prosperity, a lot more freedom, just like we saw in Singapore, just like we saw a few years

01:17:05.000 ago in Hong Kong.

01:17:06.000 Civilizations... 0.81

01:17:07.000 Singapore?

01:17:08.000 Bro, they execute you if they find you with no competencies.

01:17:11.000 Now they do, but Singapore became known on the world stage as a free economic market

01:17:17.000 where a lot of people fled to, and it was able to build a society that was a free market

01:17:23.000 society that allowed private enterprise to thrive, and it created some of the most richest

01:17:27.000 people in the world.

01:17:30.000 Now obviously it has devolved into a full technocratic state with a social credit score,

01:17:34.000 with surveillance cameras watching your every move, if you spit on the ground or if you

01:17:38.000 chew gum the wrong way.

01:17:39.000 I thought...

01:17:40.000 I was sweating bullets in Singapore with Tim because a disgruntled Tinder date was saying

01:17:51.000 she was gonna call the police on me for not going on the date with her. 0.83

01:17:53.000 Who got catfished?

01:17:54.000 Oh, it was bad.

01:17:55.000 It was horrible.

01:17:56.000 I luckily was able to kind of see it.

01:17:58.000 And then we had to like escape out the back door or whatever.

01:18:00.000 It was funny.

01:18:00.000 I was laughing the whole time.

01:18:01.000 Yeah, luckily I made it out, but I was sweating bullets apart with what was happening there.

01:18:06.000 It's a crazy way that they decided to live their lives.

01:18:08.000 But anywhere you see the free market kind of activated, you see a lot of individual freedom.

01:18:14.000 You see a lot of liberty.

01:18:15.000 You see a lot of services that are incentivized to help the person rather than a government that will take your money and then doesn't need to provide you a good service.

01:18:24.000 What if we created a special economic zone in the United States that was totally free market?

01:18:30.000 We had two different ones.

01:18:31.000 One was for the commies and one was for the ancaps, and you could choose which one you wanted to go live in. 0.99

01:18:34.000 Perfect.

01:18:35.000 That would be absolutely beautiful.

01:18:36.000 One city is dedicated to the communists, and once you choose to live there, you can't choose not to.

01:18:41.000 And then the free marketplace, you can come and go as you please.

01:18:43.000 Exactly.

01:18:43.000 And then if commies want to live in their own commune, go ahead.

01:18:49.000 I won't be mad about it.

01:18:50.000 Would you?

01:18:52.000 Tim, you're a cold weather guy, right?

01:18:53.000 What about Greenland?

01:18:54.000 Big piece of property over there.

01:18:56.000 Free economics.

01:18:56.000 Yeah, I know.

01:18:57.000 And Trump wanted to buy it.

01:18:58.000 And I was like, that sounds great.

01:18:59.000 Heck yeah! 0.96

01:19:00.000 And they made fun of him for it.

01:19:01.000 And it's so weird because it wasn't even that long ago we bought Alaska.

01:19:04.000 You know what I mean?

01:19:05.000 Exactly.

01:19:06.000 And it would have provided so much opportunities.

01:19:09.000 It would provide a lot of expansion.

01:19:11.000 It would provide, you know, potentially an economic free zone, which I think would be amazing.

01:19:15.000 And if you look at the history of those, they always turn out into incredible things.

01:19:18.000 You look at the history of government top-down centralization controlling every aspect of the financial institutions, you see communism and you see people starving and not having food, people being slaughtered and sent to the gulags.

01:19:31.000 And I think there's a big overall trend when it comes to economic freedom and political freedom.

01:19:36.000 We need Starlink.

01:19:39.000 We need low-latency, high-speed satellite internet.

01:19:42.000 Then you can live and work from anywhere.

01:19:44.000 And that's what I'm excited for because we've been looking at, you know, we're in West Virginia, we're setting up this big 50-acre property, but we're still out here because we have to be close to a major airport or whatever.

01:19:56.000 And so that will tether us in our operation, you know, closer to, you know, bigger cities.

01:20:01.000 But you could go to a smaller regional airport and someone could fly to a major airport and then to the smaller airport.

01:20:06.000 And then you could effectively have a media operation in the middle of Wyoming, in the middle of nowhere, so long as you have that satellite and that low latency communications or Greenland.

01:20:15.000 Starlink and decentralized service, server space.

01:20:18.000 That's once we get Starlink and like maybe satellite server space to orbital server space, I think we're going to be.

01:20:24.000 I think the future of this planet is going to be people spreading out outside of cities and then wiring themselves into the metaverse and living digital virtual lives.

01:20:34.000 Could you imagine if your entire life was The Matrix?

01:20:39.000 But it wasn't like the movie The Matrix.

01:20:40.000 You knew you were in The Matrix.

01:20:42.000 So basically, you'd wake up in the morning, and you'd brush your teeth, then you'd go into your pod, you know, that stimulates your muscles so you don't atrophy, and then you enter the digital space, and then you're in Greenland, you know, doing your work, and you're like, I've got a meeting in New Zealand, and then so then you just walk up to a door, and you type, you know, you activate it, New Zealand police, the door opens, right open, and you walk right to New Zealand.

01:21:07.000 Because you're in a virtual world.

01:21:08.000 Dude, it'll be like I'll be in my house, you'll be in your house, but we'll both be in this studio digitally.

01:21:14.000 It'll look like it that we're both sitting next to each other and we'll be seeing each other.

01:21:17.000 You can do that now.

01:21:17.000 And the video will look like we're all in the room together.

01:21:21.000 Well, yeah, because we'll be wired in the matrix.

01:21:23.000 But here's the thing.

01:21:24.000 So we're all kind of against it now.

01:21:27.000 But because if we're talking about this future technology in the sense that they can like kind of like regulate your dopamine, we will all become addicted to the metaverse.

01:21:34.000 That's the problem.

01:21:35.000 It's not even about that.

01:21:36.000 It's not going to be that tomorrow, you know, Elon Musk knocks on your door and then like, you know, he's holding the chip and then two guys in white coats pin you down and you're like, no!

01:21:45.000 It's going to be that they're going to roll out the neural cap.

01:21:49.000 It's a hat you wear that can, you know, alert you when your phone goes off or something like that or Google Glass.

01:21:56.000 It's going to be some small convenience we accept and then every day the convenience is going to escalate.

01:22:01.000 Think about how cell phones started.

01:22:03.000 Big, big gray block. 0.95

01:22:05.000 You pull the antenna up, it had like four hours of power, only worked downtown, and they sucked.

01:22:10.000 And then I remember when, you know, my mom had a cell phone, it was like roaming charges and connections, and it like worked, it was better, it was like a gray Motorola and you'd flip it down.

01:22:19.000 Then I got my first candy bar phone.

01:22:21.000 These phones didn't do anything, but it was convenient to have, you could talk to people, or beepers, for instance.

01:22:25.000 Now, we have the summation of, the access to the summation of human knowledge in our pockets, we can film videos, it is escalating.

01:22:32.000 Everyone accepts it.

01:22:33.000 They're okay with being tracked.

01:22:34.000 They're okay with being spied on because of the convenience.

01:22:36.000 So Neuralink will happen.

01:22:38.000 Whatever, all this metaverse stuff will happen.

01:22:39.000 No one will resist it.

01:22:40.000 We are going to accept it and be happy about it.

01:22:43.000 How many people, if you went back in time and said, I'm going to take away your landline phone and you will be happy.

01:22:49.000 They'd be like, no, I wouldn't.

01:22:51.000 I need my phone.

01:22:52.000 Be like, no, no, no, don't worry.

01:22:53.000 We're going to give you a tracking device that people can track everywhere you go, no matter where you go.

01:22:58.000 And it'll spy on you, but you'll be able to talk to people.

01:23:00.000 They'll be like, screw Screw that! 1.00

01:23:01.000 Are you nuts? 1.00

01:23:02.000 No, give me my phone back. 1.00

01:23:02.000 No! 1.00

01:23:05.000 That's not where we're at now, is it?

01:23:06.000 So I'm watching the chat room and someone just left a comment saying,

01:23:09.000 imagine this chat, but in VR.

01:23:12.000 And I'm like, whoa, that'd be wild.

01:23:15.000 I'm seeing what you guys are saying here.

01:23:16.000 It's pretty crazy. It already exists.

01:23:19.000 There's on Oculus, there's, I don't know what it's called.

01:23:21.000 It's like live chat.

01:23:23.000 And I brought up the duck thing in that little kid because I was playing the game.

01:23:26.000 I was playing Space Robot Trainer, that pirate game.

01:23:28.000 That's so fun.

01:23:29.000 You're like, you got robots and you're like, you're shooting at them.

01:23:32.000 And then I went to the chat room and it's like people walking around and there was a duck just like walking around doing stuff.

01:23:38.000 And I'm like, someone literally went in this game and said, I would like to be a duck.

01:23:41.000 And they did.

01:23:42.000 The graphics are trash, mind you, because the processing power isn't all that great or whatever.

01:23:46.000 But imagine what it's going to be like when they synchronize Neuralink.

01:23:50.000 How long is that going to be?

01:23:50.000 10 years?

01:23:51.000 20 years?

01:23:52.000 Maybe that's a bad estimate.

01:23:54.000 Oh, it could be still much sooner than that.

01:23:54.000 Maybe 30 or 40.

01:23:56.000 I know.

01:23:57.000 Look at 1986, 1981.

01:23:57.000 The video games that were out.

01:23:58.000 Look at 1986, 1981, the video games that were out.

01:24:02.000 Mario Brothers.

01:24:03.000 30 years, look where video games ended up.

01:24:07.000 You've got first person, 3D.

01:24:10.000 Now look where we are.

01:24:11.000 It's been almost 40 years.

01:24:12.000 It's been over 40 years.

01:24:14.000 And look how rapidly video game technology has advanced to the point where now we got VR glasses.

01:24:19.000 With the new Oculus, you put it on and there's no wires.

01:24:22.000 You can go out in your backyard and set your space and then just do whatever in virtual reality.

01:24:27.000 Wireless.

01:24:28.000 Yup.

01:24:28.000 I keep thinking about the chimp.

01:24:29.000 Did you guys ever see the video of the chimp on Instagram?

01:24:32.000 Just look it up someday.

01:24:33.000 I don't know if you want to bring it up now.

01:24:35.000 It's kind of a non sequitur.

01:24:37.000 It's just a chimpanzee on Instagram.

01:24:40.000 He's on Instagram swiping, and it looks like a human.

01:24:43.000 Oh, this right here, yeah. 0.53

01:24:44.000 This is nuts!

01:24:46.000 Here we go.

01:24:49.000 He's just watching videos of chimps doing chimp stuff. 1.00

01:24:53.000 Well, yeah, but chimps are smart. 0.99

01:24:56.000 Monkeys are smart, too.

01:24:59.000 We'll be in the metaverse with these guys.

01:25:03.000 Look at that, he's swiping, he's looking for stuff.

01:25:05.000 He hits it, and he's like, yo, what up?

01:25:06.000 That may help us understand other animals a lot better, because if we can wire them into the metaverse with us... Isn't that crazy he just knows how to do it?

01:25:12.000 Like, if you could neural net and synchronize with an ape, and then you can kind of understand the animal more?

01:25:17.000 I don't know, man.

01:25:18.000 And it could understand you more?

01:25:20.000 I think everything that we're saying is going to be viewed in the future as, like, stodgy, old people complaining, and we're going to be laughed at.

01:25:28.000 Remember that guy?

01:25:29.000 I don't know if you know this, Ian.

01:25:30.000 There's a guy who... Who was it?

01:25:32.000 It was someone famous.

01:25:33.000 He said the internet wouldn't take off.

01:25:35.000 Oh, Robert Reich, wasn't it?

01:25:36.000 Was it?

01:25:37.000 I think so.

01:25:37.000 Was it Krugman?

01:25:38.000 It was Krugman.

01:25:38.000 Krugman.

01:25:39.000 He's wrong about everything.

01:25:40.000 I think it was Krugman.

01:25:40.000 It could be both of them.

01:25:42.000 And he was like, the internet will not be part of the economy or something like this.

01:25:46.000 He likened it to a fax machine.

01:25:48.000 He said it would be as big a deal as a fax machine.

01:25:50.000 I think that was the quote.

01:25:52.000 Let's see, did Krugman say the internet's effect on the world's economy would be no greater than the fax machines?

01:25:58.000 True.

01:25:58.000 Look at that.

01:26:00.000 Man, this guy is still today a very dumb person. 0.99

01:26:02.000 Nobel Prize winning economist. 0.99

01:26:04.000 That's right.

01:26:04.000 Wrong about everything.

01:26:06.000 But think about it, man.

01:26:07.000 People back then, I remember watching these old videos that come up where they're like, no, the internet's not going to take off.

01:26:13.000 Well, certainly an interesting novelty.

01:26:15.000 It won't be.

01:26:15.000 And then you get Krugman, you get other people like it.

01:26:17.000 Watching these old videos about the internet, it's crazy.

01:26:19.000 Because it is life today.

01:26:21.000 Well, you know, even with cell phones and the advent of social media, I would say it was a net positive in the very beginning because it was unfiltered, uncontrolled.

01:26:30.000 There was no major algorithms.

01:26:32.000 It was what you subscribe to is what you get.

01:26:34.000 And there was a moment in time where people finally started to get the true window to the reality of the world that wasn't controlled by any kind of special interest.

01:26:43.000 Now those doors are closing and I'm seeing social media as a net negative, especially with the psychological disorders that it has caused so many young people, causing people to, of course, be so unhappy.

01:26:55.000 But the larger debate that I think should be sparked here, is it because we have too much knowledge that has gone into our brain too fast?

01:27:03.000 Is the ability to be able to know anything in a moment?

01:27:06.000 something that is detrimental to human society or human beings, a power that they never had

01:27:10.000 before.

01:27:11.000 That's an interesting kind of debate that I've been kind of listening and hearing about

01:27:14.000 that I think is worth talking about.

01:27:16.000 In 50 years, people are all born and they're implanted with their neural chip and they

01:27:22.000 grow up and they live mostly in the metaverse.

01:27:26.000 And there's a young man, and he meets a young woman, and they're getting along swimmingly, and they're all excited, and then they're like, you know, oh, I've gotta move pods, you know, oh, I'll come help you move your pod.

01:27:38.000 And then the guy's like, that'd be great, yeah, they're coming to move the pod to unit C39 over, you know, about a block from my house.

01:27:45.000 It's gonna be a lot of work, it's gonna be annoying.

01:27:47.000 And then, you know, one day there's a knock on the door, and it's like a 6'3", really burly bearded man.

01:27:52.000 And he's like, Rick, good to see ya!

01:27:54.000 And he's like, Janet!

01:27:55.000 And they hug and they kiss, and then they carry the pod out to the new unit.

01:27:58.000 Then they go back in their pods, and, you know, the big bearded guy is actually a 5'7", blonde woman in the metaverse. 0.92

01:28:04.000 Like, I'm not even kidding.

01:28:06.000 Like, and it's going to be normal, and people are going to be like, whatever, because their reality, their reality is going to be the metaverse, and the real world-based reality is going to be a chore.

01:28:15.000 It's going to be ancillary.

01:28:16.000 It's going to be, like, something they have to deal with.

01:28:19.000 It's going to hurt.

01:28:20.000 They're like, oh, gravity hurts!

01:28:22.000 Yup! 0.99

01:28:22.000 It's going to be like, you know when you're, like, at a pool, and then when you get out, you're like, ugh! 0.99

01:28:26.000 No, no, Cole, it's like all of a sudden, when you're in the water, you can move much more easily, and then when you lift up, you're like, whoa, I'm heavy now, and you've got all this water holding you down.

01:28:34.000 That's what it's gonna feel like.

01:28:36.000 People are gonna live that way.

01:28:37.000 It's like in the movie Surrogates, where there's that hot blonde woman, and then the machine blows her head up. 1.00

01:28:41.000 They go to the apartment, and it turns out it's this morbidly obese guy who's in the machine hooking up with dudes.

01:28:46.000 There's something to that in the age of gender fluidity, where you can be any gender, and you can pick your avatar, kind of.

01:28:52.000 I mean, it totally synergizes with what you're saying.

01:28:55.000 Yeah, yep.

01:28:56.000 What do you think?

01:28:56.000 What's the future going to look like in a few years from now?

01:28:59.000 So, from a technological aspect, you know, you have the famous Moore's Law, but what you find... So, I think this might be a problem of our progeny.

01:29:07.000 I don't know.

01:29:07.000 I'm not convinced it's going to happen so fast, because technological innovation in the electronics space is actually slowing down.

01:29:14.000 There's only... So, you have a circuit board, and there's only so many transistors that you can pack on there.

01:29:19.000 So, it's probably going to take something like a Neuralink technology, you know, totally flip the board over start working on like brain electrodes because in terms of like improvement of technology the idea it is no longer exponential and it hasn't been for for quite some time it's actually eventually going to flatten out because this this circuit board technology it's already like

01:29:42.000 done by robots and microscopic, there's literally like no more room for these electrons.

01:29:49.000 Transistors have become so small that electrons aren't even falling on the path, they're jumping off and moving between things.

01:29:55.000 They're using sound now as a waveguide to force the electrons along the path so they don't actually have to use, I don't want to get this wrong, I don't know more about it, but they're using sound to guide the light.

01:30:05.000 Yes, so with a Neuralink, if you're doing brain surgery, then who knows where this takes off?

01:30:10.000 But if you're trying to use your Oculus to expand into the metaverse, I don't see it as being something so similar to human life through that platform.

01:30:21.000 But again, when you're dealing with the brain, who knows what could happen.

01:30:25.000 So what if, in the future, we stop making, you know, computer chips and we start growing brain matter?

01:30:31.000 And then you're like, dude, the new Ryzen Threadripper 5000 organic And it's just like a brain.

01:30:40.000 In a vat.

01:30:40.000 And it's got like ports and everything.

01:30:41.000 No, no, no.

01:30:42.000 We start having cone heads.

01:30:43.000 Just like in the Hollywood movies.

01:30:45.000 Why?

01:30:45.000 Because there's also... We're using our own brains as our desktops?

01:30:49.000 Is that what you're saying?

01:30:50.000 No, no, no.

01:30:51.000 Just like in the Conehead movie.

01:30:52.000 Their brains just start expanding upwards.

01:30:55.000 And there's also... That wasn't in the Conehead movie.

01:30:57.000 Uh, yes it was.

01:30:58.000 No, they were just aliens with cone heads.

01:31:00.000 Exactly. 0.99

01:31:00.000 We could become their brains. 0.99

01:31:03.000 They probably had bigger brains. 0.97

01:31:04.000 No?

01:31:05.000 Right? 0.77

01:31:05.000 They have bigger brains. 0.77

01:31:06.000 I don't know.

01:31:06.000 But there's also a set of human beings that are recorded with their skeletons having cone heads.

01:31:14.000 That's if they were doing elongation and stuff.

01:31:15.000 Some people are debating that, but there's also some other interesting theories by Brian Forrester that contradict that theory as well.

01:31:22.000 I don't know what the truth is, but if we're going to be expanding brains, I'm pretty sure it's going to be cone heads.

01:31:27.000 You know, I was thinking, but I think what we should do is, now that VAX mandates are normal, we should actually just have a metaverse mandate.

01:31:34.000 And then we should have to send the government out to forcefully neural link chip people's brains and plug them in against their will. 0.99

01:31:40.000 Because once you connect them to Metaverse and you can control their thoughts, you can take away the pain and then they'll like it.

01:31:46.000 All we have to do is chase people down while chanting, one of us, one of us.

01:31:49.000 And they'll be scared at first, but as soon as you infect them with the Metaverse, they'll easily calm down and then join you in your quest to transform everyone else into a singular being.

01:31:59.000 You know, just like The Independent says, we have to de-radicalize the hardcore anti-vaxxers and treat them like terrorists.

01:32:08.000 I don't know what that has to do with it.

01:32:10.000 That's The Independent.

01:32:10.000 It's all for the greater good, Tim.

01:32:12.000 Send them to the metaverse in the name of health.

01:32:14.000 For the greater good, right now we'll read superchats.

01:32:17.000 If you haven't already, get in that superchat, smash that like button.

01:32:20.000 If you haven't already, smash that like button.

01:32:21.000 Do it for Ian.

01:32:23.000 Do it for me.

01:32:23.000 Do it for Ian.

01:32:24.000 And go to TimCast.com, become a member.

01:32:25.000 We're gonna have a members-only segment coming up at around 11 or so p.m.

01:32:28.000 Let's read what you got.

01:32:30.000 We got Public News Choice says, buy yourself a beer, Tim.

01:32:34.000 Always enjoy tuning in when I get off work.

01:32:36.000 Hey, appreciate it, man.

01:32:37.000 We actually just started getting a bunch of new beers from a new brewery.

01:32:40.000 We have lots, yes.

01:32:41.000 What is it called?

01:32:41.000 It's Old 690 Brewery?

01:32:42.000 There's one now.

01:32:44.000 Old 690.

01:32:45.000 So it's a local brewery, but apparently they're a freedom-loving brewery.

01:32:50.000 Yeah.

01:32:51.000 They love freedom.

01:32:51.000 Pretty good beer.

01:32:52.000 Yeah, we met some of the owners and we talked to them.

01:32:54.000 They were really cool.

01:32:56.000 One of the family members is a fan of the show and we went and grabbed a whole mess load of their beers.

01:33:01.000 We might actually do a brew with them.

01:33:04.000 Oh, that sounds fun!

01:33:06.000 A Timcast Castle specific brew of some sort.

01:33:08.000 I had a raspberry one, I think.

01:33:10.000 Raspberry wheat.

01:33:11.000 That was incredible.

01:33:12.000 You gotta call it like beanie juice.

01:33:14.000 Beanie juice.

01:33:14.000 No, nothing like that.

01:33:16.000 No, I think we can make something good.

01:33:17.000 We have, yeah, we have a blonde and we've, and so we do have that. 1.00

01:33:20.000 I don't really drink all that much, but I did drink a little bit recently just for the holidays.

01:33:23.000 So I've been having a good time, you know?

01:33:26.000 We've got these, these, these, uh, the new brews and I think, um, gotta try them out.

01:33:30.000 You gotta try both.

01:33:30.000 I need to have a blonde one.

01:33:31.000 Maybe I'll have one tomorrow.

01:33:32.000 Alright, let's see.

01:33:35.000 Beatboop says Tim would enjoy Arcane Season 1.

01:33:37.000 It follows a nation named Piltover and its slum that is attempting to break away and create its own nation. 1.00

01:33:44.000 Good night.

01:33:44.000 Ooh, interesting.

01:33:45.000 I'll check it out.

01:33:45.000 Isn't that the League of Legends show?

01:33:48.000 No idea.

01:33:49.000 Yeah, Arcane.

01:33:49.000 Arcane?

01:33:50.000 Don't know.

01:33:52.000 Cliff says, did anyone else ever notice the Omicron variant when unjubled actually spells out Veronic?

01:33:58.000 Yes.

01:33:59.000 Yeah, a lot of people have pointed that out, I guess.

01:34:01.000 Michael O'Tracey said that we should be calling Omnicron the... What was the variant?

01:34:06.000 Hold on, I actually written it down because it's a very... Is that good, huh?

01:34:11.000 It was pretty good.

01:34:12.000 He wants it to be like, oh, come on, variant.

01:34:14.000 Oh, come on now, variant.

01:34:15.000 You know what I'm excited for?

01:34:16.000 I'm actually really excited for the Omega variant.

01:34:18.000 Yeah.

01:34:19.000 Because it sounds so like...

01:34:21.000 Dark and scary.

01:34:22.000 Like a sci-fi dystopia.

01:34:24.000 Would it be cool to be living in a sci-fi dystopia?

01:34:27.000 I think we do.

01:34:28.000 That's a joke, that's a joke.

01:34:30.000 But we're gonna get to the point.

01:34:32.000 So a lot of people said they skipped the Xi variant and the Nu variant.

01:34:35.000 They skipped a whole bunch.

01:34:36.000 They skipped tons.

01:34:38.000 Beta?

01:34:38.000 I don't remember Beta.

01:34:39.000 Beta was around in Lambda.

01:34:41.000 But I was looking at the Greek alphabet and I'm like, they just skipped over like seven variants.

01:34:44.000 Theta?

01:34:45.000 Do they have a Theta?

01:34:46.000 I don't know.

01:34:46.000 All I know is, like, the Omega variant.

01:34:50.000 You know, that's gonna be cool.

01:34:51.000 Fowge is gonna come out and be like, I'm warning you everyone, the Omega variant is here!

01:34:56.000 I am the Omega!

01:34:58.000 The Omega.

01:35:00.000 It's like 100% transmissible.

01:35:01.000 I am the Alpha.

01:35:02.000 I am the Omega.

01:35:03.000 I am the science.

01:35:06.000 That sounds like something to say.

01:35:08.000 Tina Collette says, as a resident of Wyoming, I can say most people agree Liz Cheney does not speak for Wyoming and probably will be looking to move elsewhere when her term is over soon.

01:35:16.000 Why don't y'all like recall or impeach her? 0.80

01:35:18.000 Huh.

01:35:19.000 I need to look into the crimes of the Cheney family and Halliburton and getting us into Iraq and then make sure that people that do that don't stay in positions of power and politics and their family... I don't know about barring their family from politics, but...

01:35:32.000 Aren't there enough people in Wyoming who don't like Liz Cheney to just recall her?

01:35:39.000 Tim, you have a good book on your shelf there called Rigged by Molly Hemingway.

01:35:44.000 And guess where Molly Hemingway is from?

01:35:46.000 Wyoming.

01:35:47.000 Is she really?

01:35:48.000 Yeah.

01:35:49.000 We gotta get her to run. 1.00

01:35:50.000 We're trying, we're trying!

01:35:53.000 Yeah, I know.

01:35:54.000 These people live in a weird, paranoid, delusional reality.

01:35:55.000 I don't know what it's about.

01:35:56.000 no matter who people that Trump was not trying to start an insurrection.

01:36:00.000 Almost all of Reddit's main politics sub is about Trump and January 6th.

01:36:03.000 Yeah, I know.

01:36:04.000 These people live in a weird, paranoid, delusional reality.

01:36:06.000 I don't know what it's about.

01:36:08.000 Yup.

01:36:09.000 Okay, what happened?

01:36:10.000 Did you just freeze on me?

01:36:11.000 Okay.

01:36:11.000 Also, I think the vaccine mandates are actually triggering a rise in a civil war.

01:36:14.000 I think so.

01:36:14.000 or a Chris Wallace impression, eh?

01:36:16.000 Either they're both establishment trash, either way. 0.94

01:36:19.000 Also, I think the vaccine mandates are actually triggering a rise in a civil war. 0.98

01:36:23.000 I think so.

01:36:24.000 Yeah, Chris Wallace and Mitch McConnell could basically be the same impersonation, right?

01:36:30.000 It's interesting to hear about these vax mandates.

01:36:32.000 I mean, I live in South Florida, I've lived there for a year, and no one was really wearing masks around me or anything, and we've all been okay.

01:36:39.000 Florida actually has the lowest COVID cases per capita in the nation, and has had for like two months now, without these mandates.

01:36:48.000 And yet if you watch Jimmy Kimmel, he's like, DeSantis is Governor Omicron, and he's gonna get everyone sick and they're gonna die, and I'm like, Do people really believe that?

01:36:57.000 Like, the CDC shows Florida has the lowest amount of cases.

01:37:01.000 They've done a really great job.

01:37:03.000 But that's the paranoid, delusional reality they live in, huh?

01:37:05.000 The Golden Gorilla says, Luke says Dems and Republicans are two heads on the same snake. 1.00

01:37:10.000 My version is, they're different cheeks on the same ass. 1.00

01:37:13.000 That works. 0.99

01:37:13.000 And they both, you know, relinquish a lot of waste. 0.99

01:37:16.000 Two cheeks on the same ass. 1.00

01:37:18.000 That's a pretty good one. 0.99

01:37:19.000 I like that. 1.00

01:37:19.000 And they're full of crap. 1.00

01:37:21.000 And they're full of crap. 1.00

01:37:24.000 Oh, that's great. 1.00

01:37:24.000 Wow. 1.00

01:37:25.000 You gotta make a shirt.

01:37:27.000 That's not really a shirt we would make.

01:37:28.000 You should make that.

01:37:30.000 I don't know if they'll allow me to have butt cheeks on my shirt.

01:37:33.000 It might confuse people if it's on the chest area.

01:37:36.000 Maybe there's another way to do it.

01:37:40.000 There's a lot of words here. 0.98

01:37:43.000 I don't know, do you have, like, Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell's face tattooed on someone's butt? 0.99

01:37:47.000 Two cheeks, one ass? 1.00

01:37:47.000 Two cheeks, one ass. 1.00

01:37:49.000 That sounds great. 1.00

01:37:49.000 No, it could be, like, a donkey, you know? 1.00

01:37:51.000 It could be a donkey and its cheeks, and it's a Democrat or Republican. 1.00

01:37:54.000 Two cheeks and the same ass. 1.00

01:37:55.000 It has to be. 1.00

01:37:56.000 Oh, there you go.

01:37:57.000 There you go.

01:38:00.000 Green Jean says, do you support Article 5?

01:38:03.000 If so, why don't you discuss a Convention of States more often to get your audience involved?

01:38:07.000 Hey.

01:38:08.000 I say it all the time.

01:38:10.000 Shout out to the Convention of States.

01:38:12.000 If you want to get something done, get the politicians to do something that they're not going to vote for themselves to do, like term limits or cutting their salaries, that's what Convention of States is for.

01:38:23.000 Yeah.

01:38:24.000 What I often say is we need to vote local.

01:38:26.000 You need to vote your city council, your school board, you gotta vote for your mayor, you gotta vote for your state reps, your state senators, you gotta vote for your governors, and you gotta vote for everybody else, and you gotta primary.

01:38:38.000 You gotta make sure you're in the party primary so you can make sure these establishment, uniparty shills don't get elected.

01:38:43.000 But if people focus on state-level elections, senators and reps, then you will get a convention of states, and the federal government becomes a side note.

01:38:52.000 So, there you go.

01:38:54.000 Slot B Joe says, please tell Luke that it's exacerbated, not exacerbated.

01:38:59.000 Listen, I'm going to pronounce words like I want to pronounce words.

01:39:02.000 If I want to say exacerbate, I'm going to say exacerbate.

01:39:04.000 Maybe I'm doing it on purpose.

01:39:06.000 Yeah, Luke speak good and whatever.

01:39:07.000 Yeah, I speak good.

01:39:10.000 Speak good.

01:39:10.000 So good.

01:39:14.000 Waffle Sensei says, Tim, I appreciate the attempted white pill, bro, but none of my lefty friends have any idea what's happening with the economy.

01:39:21.000 It's like they believe it's not happening.

01:39:22.000 This is correct.

01:39:23.000 They live in a paranoid, delusional state.

01:39:25.000 I don't know what to tell you.

01:39:26.000 That's why I say the factions and the culture war and everything are not left and right.

01:39:30.000 I am on the left.

01:39:32.000 Of Vosh and Hassan when it comes to corporate power and the commons. 0.78

01:39:37.000 When it comes to social media platforms.

01:39:39.000 Literally.

01:39:40.000 I believe that the public should be in control of public spaces where communications happen.

01:39:44.000 And I don't believe that massive multinational private corporations should have the right to eject people from the commons.

01:39:49.000 But they actually disagree with that.

01:39:52.000 So they're more in favor of private property in that capacity for whatever reason.

01:39:55.000 I don't know.

01:39:56.000 Maybe I'm not understanding their positions.

01:39:57.000 We'd have a conversation about it.

01:39:59.000 But the real issue is there are people who believe CNN and there are people who don't.

01:40:05.000 There's your narrative.

01:40:06.000 But I shouldn't say CNN.

01:40:07.000 It's actually the establishment narrative.

01:40:12.000 Rhino says, watched a YouTube video earlier, and MIT has a program called World 3 that predicted the downfall of civilization around 2040.

01:40:19.000 Then they mentioned we are on the fast track.

01:40:22.000 I remember we talked about that, didn't we?

01:40:23.000 I don't remember.

01:40:26.000 Yeah, we talked about MIT's predicting total societal collapse.

01:40:28.000 Oh, that's right.

01:40:29.000 It's been a while, yeah.

01:40:29.000 World 3, that's the first I put a name to it.

01:40:32.000 All right.

01:40:34.000 Jess Video says, Jordan, great to see you somewhere besides the Steve Deese show.

01:40:38.000 Hooked him up with him so he can have him on his show.

01:40:40.000 Always great seeing you, man.

01:40:41.000 Keep up the good work.

01:40:42.000 Really appreciate that.

01:40:43.000 Steve Dace is a great show on Blaze TV.

01:40:46.000 There you go.

01:40:48.000 BCisMe says, write a song for Step on Snack and find out.

01:40:52.000 Done!

01:40:53.000 We will do that.

01:40:53.000 I could probably write something like that in five minutes.

01:40:56.000 I'll pick four chords and I'll just sing it off the top of my head and I'll probably, you know, probably be able to crank that one out.

01:41:01.000 But, uh, you know.

01:41:03.000 Moose Code says, Tim ever heard of Second Life?

01:41:05.000 Yes, I have.

01:41:06.000 It is a metaverse launched in 2003.

01:41:08.000 People have already gotten married and provided services for money ever since.

01:41:12.000 Yeah, it was mostly viewed as kind of like an MMO though, wasn't it?

01:41:15.000 Not an RPG, but a massive multiplayer online game.

01:41:18.000 MMOG?

01:41:20.000 Yeah, MMO... You could say it was an RPG, but it was basically like a digital space where you had an avatar.

01:41:29.000 But Mark Zuckerberg didn't put his weight behind it, and Elon Musk wasn't trying to drill a hole It wasn't metaverse in that there wasn't cryptocurrency, like currency wasn't involved yet.

01:41:38.000 There wasn't any AI involved and social networking wasn't integrated really.

01:41:43.000 I mean the game itself was kind of an insulated social network.

01:41:48.000 All right, Atarka says, hey everyone, could y'all share and help my friends go fund me?

01:41:52.000 I set up, she is now hospitalized due to COVID and a lot of people won't help because she has had the vaccine.

01:41:57.000 It's called Helping Jordan Get Her Life Better by Nick Downs.

01:42:01.000 I gotta tell you, man, like some of the data that I've read about COVID, I really do think the initial short-term lockdown was the right thing to do.

01:42:09.000 I'm talking about two weeks to slow the spread.

01:42:10.000 The problem was you give someone an inch, they'll take a mile.

01:42:14.000 So when I was talking to someone recently about the data, Having had COVID and going through it, I'm like, we all agreed that the first, when they said 15 days to slow the spread, we were all kind of like, okay, we get it.

01:42:24.000 You know, it's because we don't want hospitals to be overwhelmed.

01:42:26.000 And that is all true.

01:42:27.000 Overwhelming hospitals means people die of other things too.

01:42:30.000 But then you get Democratic governors killing old people.

01:42:33.000 You get a whole bunch of really bad stuff happening.

01:42:36.000 And so now the challenge is, if you could go back in time and say no, no, no, no, to any of the authority, emergency powers and lockdowns, would you do it?

01:42:43.000 The problem is, you know, hindsight is 20-20.

01:42:46.000 We don't know what would have happened, but I kind of think that the abuse of power we've seen so far is not worth the exchange.

01:42:52.000 That means people would have lost their lives, though.

01:42:53.000 So, I don't know, man.

01:42:54.000 It's tough.

01:42:55.000 They're still losing their lives.

01:42:57.000 I guess if Cuomo, with Cuomo and these other governors killing all these elderly, maybe we would have been better off just not locking down at all.

01:43:02.000 You know, maybe if we had preventative treatments that, you know, actually are preventative and actually were there, maybe then we would have to deal with a lot of the loss.

01:43:11.000 Yeah, the counterexample here is Sweden, Belarus, never locked down.

01:43:16.000 Florida's doing great.

01:43:18.000 I don't want to go too big into the weeds on this issue due to the regulations on this issue, but yeah, Sweden and Belarus never locked down.

01:43:28.000 Florida locked down for, they barely locked down, did like a couple weeks It's interesting when you trace back the two weeks of stop spread it's essentially traced back to this like random school educator that was running like this online school and he had a medium post that went viral and then of course the initial idea of the lockdown came in Wuhan China and

01:43:52.000 Where they had all these bizarre videos coming out and somehow appearing on Western social media platforms.

01:43:58.000 Like, how did a video out of Wuhan make its way to Instagram?

01:44:02.000 Kind of weird because no one uses Instagram in China.

01:44:04.000 So there's a lot of weird questions about this not-lockdown narrative, how it started, what exactly happened in Wuhan, China that they were pushing out all this random social media information and trying to influence the West into locking down.

01:44:18.000 And sadly, lockdowns are now an accepted fact that, you know, all of these, I guess, progressives and statists say, you know, if there's a COVID problem, we need a lockdown in addition to our vax passports, in addition to our mask mandates.

01:44:35.000 It's just one totalitarian measure after the next.

01:44:37.000 And they refuse to admit that they got anything wrong.

01:44:40.000 And they're just doubling, tripling, quadrupling down on this craziness.

01:44:44.000 But I think they're just like, hey, we can keep expanding our powers.

01:44:48.000 I don't think they care at all about the data or the metrics.

01:44:50.000 They're just quite literally like, the more this keeps happening, look at what de Blasio said.

01:44:54.000 He wants to buy up property for pennies on the dollar and convert it into public housing.

01:44:58.000 So they don't care about any of this other than, we can exploit this for power.

01:45:02.000 You think those videos of the whaling people in China, that one ominous video of the howling in the city, and you could hear rattling chains and stuff, you think that was seeded?

01:45:11.000 You know that video I'm talking about?

01:45:12.000 I can't really expand on it here, but my platform, I've written several stories about this at dossier.substack.com.

01:45:18.000 Well, let's talk about it in the member segment.

01:45:20.000 Yeah.

01:45:21.000 All right, let's read some more Super Chats.

01:45:22.000 We got Bailey, and he says, Tim, wondering if you'd do Alaska a solid and try to get Kelly Shibaka on, see if she's worth it like you did for AZ. 0.72

01:45:30.000 Well, you know, with Arizona, I mean, we're in people-on-net-of-conversation, so we won't have a conversation with anybody.

01:45:37.000 Is Kelly, she's running for governor in Alaska?

01:45:39.000 Yeah, write that down.

01:45:40.000 Look her up.

01:45:40.000 Is she running for governor?

01:45:41.000 I don't know.

01:45:42.000 Well, we'll take a look.

01:45:45.000 Lin Ross says, Elites plan on creating a metaverse. 0.81

01:45:48.000 One of the key problems is gamers.

01:45:49.000 We will find ways to exploit our way to infinite wealth or find ways to speedrun to the top of their system.

01:45:55.000 You know what I used to love, man?

01:45:57.000 OG World of Warcraft, glitch hopping on top of, you know, Undercity and going underneath Stormwind and doing all these really fun things.

01:46:05.000 We would go into areas that weren't yet developed.

01:46:08.000 We would, like, you could look on the map and see an area that's never been developed and we would find a way to break into it.

01:46:12.000 This is before flying was introduced to the game.

01:46:15.000 That was the most fun I'd have playing these games.

01:46:17.000 I'd spend hours exploring this massive virtual world and trying to find ways to get into places you can't get into.

01:46:23.000 When The Division first came out, there was a way to push through walls using the ballistic shield, and then we went into a bunch of areas where the game hadn't released them yet, and they ban you for it.

01:46:33.000 And then there was Destiny.

01:46:35.000 You could use your vehicle, it's called a Sparrow.

01:46:37.000 If you spawned it at the right spot in front of a wall, it would spawn in the wall and you could move through the wall and go into areas that were unreleased, and they would ban you for it.

01:46:46.000 And I'm like, the most fun was exploiting and finding these things.

01:46:49.000 So I tell you this, they come out with a metaverse, it's gonna be only a matter of time before a group of hackers find a way to break through walls.

01:46:56.000 Think about how crazy the world's gonna be.

01:46:59.000 When everyone is born, it gets a computer chip, and spends 95% of their lives in the metaverse, but some people find exploits.

01:47:08.000 That would be like if you went downtown to grab a slice of pizza, and you saw some dude jump 20 feet in the air and then teleport.

01:47:14.000 You'd be like, what?

01:47:15.000 How did he do that?

01:47:16.000 Dude, you're making me think of auto-warm beer.

01:47:19.000 High school student that went to North Korea and stole a flag and they threw him in North Korean prison.

01:47:22.000 He basically wasted away and died of what they said, botulism.

01:47:25.000 So a kid's gonna go in the metaverse from age 2 to 12 and then all of a sudden he's gonna find an exploit and get banned.

01:47:30.000 And he's gonna wake up and start screaming and crying and realizing that his entire life has been taken from him and then commit suicide.

01:47:37.000 I don't know.

01:47:38.000 I think if Metaverse becomes our entire lives, it would be like you'd get a suspension.

01:47:42.000 And so what they would do is you'd be locked out of a ton of features.

01:47:45.000 You couldn't go to certain areas and you'd be like, oh man, and it would be like a three month thing.

01:47:49.000 Yeah.

01:47:49.000 We need a constitution and a government and like a decentralized organization of power for something like that, because that is someone's life.

01:47:56.000 Ian, it's a private company.

01:47:57.000 They can do what they want.

01:47:58.000 Yeah.

01:47:59.000 And you don't need to raise your children.

01:48:01.000 You can just put a VR system on them that raises them for you.

01:48:05.000 That's going to be creepy.

01:48:07.000 Indoctrination public school centers in VR.

01:48:13.000 It's Matrix, bro.

01:48:14.000 Kids are going to be born into it and they never want to leave.

01:48:17.000 There's going to be like, it's 50 years.

01:48:20.000 The guy's going to be like, my, my, my, my pod needs to be moved. 0.94

01:48:24.000 They're like, ah, dude, that sucks. 0.91

01:48:26.000 I know. 0.95

01:48:27.000 All right.

01:48:27.000 Well, give me a few minutes.

01:48:29.000 I'll deal with this.

01:48:30.000 It's going to be like miserable to have to leave.

01:48:32.000 First baby's gonna be born in the metaverse.

01:48:34.000 They're gonna like, we wanted to deliver a baby in the metaverse and the baby's gonna be pre-wired to be in the verse before it even is out of the womb.

01:48:41.000 So you'll see the whole process.

01:48:43.000 The baby will come out and... The adult content that already is on the internet.

01:48:47.000 Imagine that being...

01:48:50.000 Here's an important one.

01:48:51.000 Sarah Roberts says, I'm paralyzed from the shoulders down and have been for seven years.

01:48:56.000 But the idea of having a chip implanted into my head doesn't sit well.

01:49:00.000 It could be amazing, but it could also go very wrong.

01:49:02.000 Now I'll say, in my opinion, for people who are paralyzed, if I had a spinal injury, I'd take the chip in two seconds.

01:49:10.000 Yeah.

01:49:11.000 I don't know.

01:49:11.000 I don't think I would.

01:49:12.000 I think I would join this super chatter to be honest with you.

01:49:16.000 I'm saying that now.

01:49:17.000 I'm not in that position, but from that kind of perspective, I think I would take her position.

01:49:21.000 After like a year of like 10,000 people getting up and walking that are had paralyzation or... It's hard to say because I'm not in her shoes, but I understand where she's coming from.

01:49:30.000 Yeah.

01:49:31.000 I'd do it.

01:49:32.000 I'd be like, Elon, help.

01:49:34.000 Wire me up.

01:49:35.000 I want to walk.

01:49:36.000 What?

01:49:37.000 You're not paralyzed though.

01:49:39.000 If I was paralyzed, I would take the chip.

01:49:43.000 Dude, we're healing the blind, the deaf. 0.99

01:49:46.000 If you lost your eyes, would you get that thing that Jordy had, the visor from Star Trek?

01:49:50.000 Would you implant the thing in your temples?

01:49:52.000 I would do anything.

01:49:53.000 Anything.

01:49:55.000 To heal my vision at that point.

01:49:56.000 Okay, so think about that, right?

01:49:59.000 To heal your vision, to gain a sense.

01:50:00.000 What if they said we could give you an implant that gives you the ability to see electrical fields?

01:50:06.000 Yeah, dude.

01:50:07.000 But that would be like getting an elective surgery for no reason.

01:50:09.000 You can already see.

01:50:11.000 It's cool, right?

01:50:12.000 Nah, I'm not into that.

01:50:13.000 I'm not going to do it just for basic enhancement.

01:50:17.000 But if I lost a limb or something and I could get it regrown, I'd be into it.

01:50:22.000 That's going to happen in the future.

01:50:23.000 They're going to give you an enzyme treatment that's going to trigger stem cell regrowth, and then your arm's going to start regrowing, and then you're going to grow back your hand.

01:50:30.000 You'll be in a back-to-tank of fluid while it regrows over two weeks or something.

01:50:34.000 Yeah.

01:50:34.000 It's faster.

01:50:35.000 You'll be in the hospital and you'd be like, check it out.

01:50:37.000 And you're like, people will film time-lapses and put them on Instagram and stuff.

01:50:39.000 It'll have a tattoo already on it.

01:50:43.000 They're like, would you like anything cool on your new arm?

01:50:46.000 Oh, can I get like, like a Wolverine claws?

01:50:48.000 We can do Wolverine claws. 0.90

01:50:49.000 But can you make my elbow a little bit lower?

01:50:52.000 Yeah, we'll get your elbow set.

01:50:53.000 So there was a funny viral post where a woman said, the craziest thing was when I was getting my prosthetic, they asked me if I'd like to be taller.

01:51:00.000 And I said, yes.

01:51:01.000 And now I'm two inches taller.

01:51:03.000 So when this chick was getting a prosthetic leg, they were like, we can make you taller. 1.00

01:51:07.000 Of course they can.

01:51:08.000 Do whatever they want.

01:51:09.000 And so because he's made a taller leg and now she's tall.

01:51:12.000 That's so crazy, right?

01:51:15.000 Frank says there may be a big backlash with radical Luddite groups attacking tech.

01:51:19.000 We should just make this movie.

01:51:20.000 Can we write this?

01:51:21.000 Radical Luddite?

01:51:22.000 Yeah, where like people are raiding metaverse facilities and Mark Zuckerberg is old and he's like, stop.

01:51:28.000 You don't understand.

01:51:29.000 We must do this. 0.99

01:51:30.000 And they're like, screw you, Zuckerberg! 0.98

01:51:32.000 And then they start smashing the servers. 0.98

01:51:33.000 Yeah, the character in the Metaverse is gonna be like, you gotta understand, I'm not who you thought I was.

01:51:38.000 This is more than what you think it is.

01:51:41.000 There's an actual universe outside of it.

01:51:43.000 We need to free you.

01:51:44.000 Trying to free people from the pods and the bug juice that they keep feeding them.

01:51:47.000 The bug juice.

01:51:48.000 Yeah, this is the post metaverse scenario.

01:51:51.000 So what happens the metaverse fails?

01:51:54.000 Have you seen that?

01:51:54.000 What's that Netflix show where they reprogram their consciousness?

01:51:58.000 Is that like the post metaverse step?

01:52:01.000 I forgot what that was called.

01:52:02.000 Was that black mirror?

01:52:03.000 No, no There's like a there's a Netflix series.

01:52:06.000 There's two seasons now I'm sure someone in the chat knows what it is But but basically like your body is totally separate from your consciousness and they altered carbon altered carbon.

01:52:16.000 Yeah Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:52:17.000 So that could be Metaverse 3.0 after the first Metaverse revolution.

01:52:22.000 Put it right in your consciousness.

01:52:23.000 Here we go from Waffle Sensei.

01:52:24.000 Says, Tim, watch Matrix Legends.

01:52:26.000 It's canon that the humans did choose to be enslaved in a perfect reality.

01:52:30.000 That was the deal they made to end the war.

01:52:33.000 Interesting.

01:52:35.000 I'll check that out.

01:52:36.000 Maybe that's where the new movie actually goes.

01:52:38.000 Because I'm wondering, like, how did they do this movie?

01:52:40.000 I thought they had a truce and, like, the war was over in the last Matrix, and now it's like Neo's taking blue pills or whatever.

01:52:46.000 I don't know, man.

01:52:48.000 Mason Wolfey says...

01:52:50.000 First, the brain chip, and metaverse, then sword art online.

01:52:54.000 Oh boy, what a dystopia to be alive in.

01:52:57.000 It's not going to be a dystopia when you are forcefully entered, you know, when they pin you down and inject you with the chip, you know, and connect you to the network, and then you go, ah!

01:53:07.000 And then all of a sudden you're sitting in class and you're like, what just happened?

01:53:11.000 And they're gonna be like, bro, the quiz, the lecture, and you're gonna be like, oh, Oh, man.

01:53:16.000 Oh, what was going on?

01:53:16.000 I can't remember.

01:53:18.000 It's like, dude, we were just talking about this, and you're like, oh, yeah.

01:53:21.000 Oh, let's go get lunch, and then you're gonna get... It's like downloading information.

01:53:24.000 You're like, I don't quite... Oh, I remember.

01:53:27.000 I remember as the download completes.

01:53:29.000 Are you guys know Sword Art Online?

01:53:32.000 No.

01:53:33.000 It's an anime where they go into a VR world, like the Metaverse, and then they have to fight monsters, and the guy who created it is like, Now that I have you, if you die in the game, you die in real life and you can't log out.

01:53:43.000 Yeah, like traps everybody in the universe.

01:53:46.000 Interesting.

01:53:47.000 Yeah, it's nuts.

01:53:48.000 People are trapped.

01:53:51.000 Bitsu says, beliefs of corporate dissidents.

01:53:53.000 Ian, it's Facebook.

01:53:54.000 Tim, it's the Metaverse.

01:53:55.000 Luke, it's the Umbrella Corporation.

01:53:57.000 Pretty much.

01:53:58.000 The Umbrella Corporation.

01:54:00.000 Kurt Sutter says, let's not forget if Elon chooses or is forced to sell stock in his company for whatever reason, control of his company is slowly transferred to someone else.

01:54:07.000 Taxation equals loss of control.

01:54:09.000 That's correct.

01:54:11.000 Lethal5670 says, Tim, what about a flat tax?

01:54:14.000 Let's say 25%, no deduction, no loopholes, just a flat tax that everyone pays.

01:54:19.000 So I think Luke made a really good point about, you know, taxes being bad in general.

01:54:22.000 My attitude is more just like in the current version of the system.

01:54:26.000 We should do it like a different way.

01:54:26.000 It doesn't work.

01:54:28.000 The issue with the flat tax is basically poor people are negatively impacted by even a light tax.

01:54:35.000 Like if you're only going to get $200 for the week and you need every penny, then they take out even $20. 0.98

01:54:40.000 That is a kick in the balls.

01:54:42.000 If you're rich, And you're expecting a million dollars to come in in one month, and they tell you that, and I'm talking profit, like income at the top, and they say, we're taking 80%. 0.99

01:54:54.000 Sure, it sucks, but $200,000 to spend money on?

01:54:59.000 Bro, I assure you, that person's gonna be like, that's ridiculous, they're taking my $800,000. 0.96

01:55:05.000 I don't even know what to spend any of it on anyway, to be honest.

01:55:08.000 Granted, I believe the person should be free to choose how they want to allocate their money.

01:55:12.000 My point is just that rich people do not look at percentages the same way poor people do.

01:55:16.000 A flat tax, in my opinion, makes no sense.

01:55:17.000 They literally print money out of thin air.

01:55:19.000 Taxes are just a way to control people. 0.97

01:55:21.000 That's literally it.

01:55:22.000 It's how they effectively pay back what they rip off.

01:55:25.000 It's how they steal money from you.

01:55:28.000 All right.

01:55:28.000 Where are we at?

01:55:29.000 Where are we at?

01:55:32.000 The Great Anywho says, hey guys, thanks for all the info.

01:55:34.000 Keep up the good work.

01:55:35.000 Luke, Google goldbacks.

01:55:37.000 Luke, you know about goldbacks.

01:55:38.000 I got a stack of them.

01:55:40.000 You see some, right?

01:55:40.000 I got some.

01:55:41.000 Yeah, there's gold foil bills.

01:55:43.000 Yep, they're used a lot in New Hampshire with the Free State Project.

01:55:46.000 People barter with them.

01:55:47.000 People trade with them.

01:55:48.000 They're worth, I think, in gold, like $2.50 or something.

01:55:53.000 But I think the actual value of them, because they're coated in plastic, is like $4.

01:55:57.000 Something like that.

01:55:59.000 Yep, I got a big stack because they're cool.

01:56:02.000 It's a Utah Goldbacks.

01:56:04.000 It's just gold foil.

01:56:05.000 It's one one thousandth of a troy ounce.

01:56:10.000 All right, got a big ol' super chat jump.

01:56:13.000 Adam Davidson says, Tim, have you seen the Dr. McCullough episode on JRE?

01:56:17.000 I've seen parts of it.

01:56:18.000 Luke, did you watch it?

01:56:19.000 I was watching a large portion of it.

01:56:21.000 It was a lot of truth bombs.

01:56:24.000 It was a major, major interview that is making its rounds on the internet right now.

01:56:29.000 And he said a lot of very important things, especially about preventative treatments, early treatments.

01:56:34.000 And I think he really hit the nail on the head with his perspective and his findings.

01:56:38.000 So what you're saying is Joe Rogan is far right?

01:56:40.000 No, he's definitely... I don't think he is.

01:56:42.000 He interviewed a doctor, a medical professional, that was talking about his findings that of course were the total opposite of what Dr. Fauci was saying.

01:56:51.000 All right.

01:56:54.000 American Capitalist says, I believe Kelly is running against Lisa Murkowski.

01:56:57.000 That's correct.

01:56:58.000 Oh man.

01:56:59.000 Yeah.

01:56:59.000 I can't stand the Uniparty.

01:57:01.000 You know, I'm really excited because I feel like no matter what happens, the Uniparty is out.

01:57:05.000 That's kind of where I think, I think where we're going.

01:57:05.000 Yeah.

01:57:08.000 Just no more of that establishment crony trash. 0.99

01:57:11.000 It'll just be complaining about AOC and you know what I mean? 0.99

01:57:14.000 No, that's fine.

01:57:14.000 Whatever.

01:57:16.000 Well, she's actually still Uniparty. 0.96

01:57:18.000 She, she jumped in the Uniparty as soon as she gave, she was given the chance.

01:57:21.000 Is she, is she, is she a Trojan horse in the Uniparty?

01:57:25.000 I don't know about a Trojan horse, I think she just willfully was like, I wanna be in the Uniparty! 1.00

01:57:28.000 She's ready to change some stuff. 0.88

01:57:30.000 Didn't she, like, audition for her role in Congress?

01:57:33.000 Wasn't that the big thing?

01:57:34.000 I don't know about that.

01:57:34.000 Or was that a fake news segment?

01:57:35.000 It was a theory, I don't know.

01:57:36.000 I don't know if that's true.

01:57:38.000 But, you know, whatever.

01:57:39.000 It's like, if you wanna complain about someone's policy positions, fine, but AOC's the worst example, a bad example, because she's very Uniparty, cutthroat, lies, cheats, steals, all that stuff. 1.00

01:57:50.000 Like, I don't mind, you know, progressives who believe things I disagree with, or who I think might be dumb. 1.00

01:57:56.000 Adam Schiff is, like, on a scale of, you know, zero being you're really dumb, and, you know, 100 being you're a really good person who's really smart, and negative 100 being, like, you're pure evil, vile scum. 0.99

01:58:08.000 Like, Adam Schiff is a negative 100. 1.00

01:58:09.000 He's probably one of the worst human beings I have ever seen. 0.96

01:58:13.000 Ever. 0.99

01:58:14.000 For doing anything.

01:58:15.000 And I've seen some bad people.

01:58:17.000 Yeah, as long as you're not trying to censor us, I'm happy for you to advocate for whatever you want, as long as it's in, you know, an open forum that's censorship resistant.

01:58:27.000 So that's the thing about Schiff, is that he is trying to remove all of the critics.

01:58:33.000 And the January 6th Committee, that's exactly what it's for.

01:58:35.000 It's to essentially, in my opinion, intimidate people into not opposing them, because you're gonna have problems if you do so.

01:58:43.000 I think they just need a narrative for the midterms.

01:58:46.000 They just need something to say.

01:58:47.000 And it's like, it's how they can keep Trump alive.

01:58:49.000 Like, Trump's not here, he's not in the midterms, and they're like, what can we do to say Trump again?

01:58:53.000 That's their plan, man.

01:58:55.000 Tom Penny says, y'all pick on people with blue hair a lot.

01:58:57.000 I have blue hair.

01:58:59.000 Ian is great.

01:58:59.000 Luke, thanks for coming back.

01:59:00.000 Lydia's base.

01:59:01.000 Tim's alright.

01:59:02.000 And then a winky face.

01:59:03.000 Thanks, dude.

01:59:03.000 What is that supposed to mean?

01:59:05.000 He's cool for having blue hair.

01:59:10.000 Yeah, I gotta be honest.

01:59:16.000 Like, in the Matrix, philosophically, what were the humans fighting for?

01:59:20.000 They were fighting for autonomy, right?

01:59:22.000 They didn't want to be in the Matrix, but the machines weren't mistreating the humans.

01:59:28.000 They didn't want to be slaves to the Matrix.

01:59:30.000 They didn't seem to mind going into it.

01:59:33.000 This is a crazy idea, right?

01:59:35.000 That these people were slaves to the Matrix, to the machines, to be used as power, but the reality was so awful, and, like, you'd eat white sludge for food, and, like, you'd be miserable and awful.

01:59:48.000 But I think the reality is freedom is for the individual, and the individual has a right to choose.

01:59:52.000 And the problem was the machines took away their right from birth.

01:59:55.000 So you don't get to take people and tell them I'm going to make your life better as a justification for stripping them of their rights.

02:00:00.000 Wasn't there also another dude who was plugging himself into the Matrix so he could enjoy Trivial... No, that was the bad guy.

02:00:06.000 That was Cypher.

02:00:07.000 He was trying to... He did that.

02:00:08.000 He sold them out to get injected back in the Matrix.

02:00:10.000 But I think there was someone else... I think there was a short scene where someone was enjoying something like helicopter riding.

02:00:16.000 I forgot.

02:00:18.000 We should re-watch the whole... Well, they could plug themselves into their own programs.

02:00:22.000 Yeah.

02:00:23.000 So you could create programs where you could do really crazy fun things.

02:00:25.000 Just like the Metaverse.

02:00:27.000 Yeah.

02:00:28.000 Could be metaverse propaganda.

02:00:29.000 Very often throughout history, there's been the excuse that stripping people of their rights has been good for them.

02:00:34.000 You know what I mean?

02:00:35.000 And sometimes it's been objectively true.

02:00:38.000 Like, I should say, in the instance of the Matrix, it was objectively true that stripping a person of their rights in the Matrix, they are living a comfortable life in the 1990s, where they could eat food and have steak.

02:00:49.000 But in the real world, the world was destroyed, so they're objectively better off in the Matrix.

02:00:53.000 Except you don't have a right to take someone's rights away.

02:00:57.000 The machines do not have a right to take that choice from them.

02:01:00.000 If people were born and then told, here's the world and here's the matrix, what would you prefer?

02:01:05.000 That's a different story.

02:01:06.000 If people had the right to choose, I'd rather live in the matrix.

02:01:08.000 And they say, here's what we're going to do.

02:01:09.000 We're going to wire you up.

02:01:11.000 You're going to be fed recycled nutrients from other corpses when they age out, and other organic matter.

02:01:16.000 But you're gonna get to live in a normal reality, like an old reality where you'll flourish and thrive and do your own thing.

02:01:25.000 Otherwise, you can live in the underbelly of the decaying dead earth eating sludge.

02:01:30.000 I don't know, what would you guys pick?

02:01:32.000 I like the underdogs.

02:01:34.000 I'd probably be eating sludge and fighting the machine robots.

02:01:37.000 I'd take the sludge because you could always plug yourself into your own private program and eat steak.

02:01:42.000 You know what I mean?

02:01:43.000 I don't know why they didn't do that.

02:01:45.000 I know.

02:01:45.000 The Cypher guy was like, I want to be back in the Matrix.

02:01:48.000 It's like, bro, you can literally just plug yourself in in the ship and then go anywhere you want and do whatever you want.

02:01:55.000 Why would you want to be back in the Matrix?

02:01:57.000 I don't know.

02:01:57.000 They don't cook my steak the right way.

02:02:00.000 Your life also has meaning and value when you're fighting for something.

02:02:02.000 If you're just given everything that you ever wish for, it's valueless.

02:02:07.000 Right.

02:02:07.000 We need conflict.

02:02:09.000 We need something, yeah.

02:02:10.000 Alright, let's do one more here.

02:02:12.000 Chance Justice says, Why not a flat 25% sales tax and no income tax?

02:02:18.000 Poor can save by not spending, rich pay more for luxuries, and there would be no need for IRS.

02:02:22.000 Agreed.

02:02:23.000 We'll do it that way.

02:02:24.000 No taxes.

02:02:25.000 I don't want taxes.

02:02:26.000 Stop giving the government money.

02:02:27.000 They mishandle it and they give it to their friends.

02:02:30.000 That's true.

02:02:30.000 I don't understand.

02:02:32.000 They're going to give it to Amazon.

02:02:33.000 They're going to give it to Google and Facebook to build the metaverses and control every aspect of your existence.

02:02:38.000 No, I'm okay.

02:02:39.000 Let the free market speak.

02:02:40.000 Let's have some competition to these monopolies out there. 0.99

02:02:43.000 For frick's sakes.

02:02:45.000 Yeah, the issue with the fiat system is that we're, you know, we're basically powerless in it and we're still kind of rearranging the chairs on the Titanic because ultimately, you know, if we're talking about monetary policy, we're talking about the U.S.

02:02:56.000 dollar, which we have really no influence upon.

02:02:59.000 So it's really just kind of a ruling class system, which is, of course, you know, why I like Bitcoin so much.

02:03:04.000 But in terms of taxation, I just, you know, I keep going back to I'd just rather have an exit ramp.

02:03:12.000 Yeah.

02:03:12.000 What do you mean an exit ramp?

02:03:14.000 I'd rather just decouple the federal government entirely from the economy.

02:03:19.000 And you cannot do that through reorienting the U.S.

02:03:23.000 dollar because the U.S.

02:03:24.000 dollar will always be controlled by the ruling class.

02:03:27.000 So eventually you're going to have to.

02:03:31.000 I mean, it's kind of like, you know, a Luke Ancap position.

02:03:34.000 But the reality is that I think the economy would be much healthier if the state had zero control over the economy. 0.97

02:03:40.000 Damn right.

02:04:19.000 I don't think we're actually calling it that, but we've got our first book being published.

02:04:23.000 It's a series of stories on ghosts, simulation theory, Uh, and Serial Killers.

02:04:28.000 Now this is just the first volume and we're already working on the next volume.

02:04:30.000 This book is 275 pages!

02:04:33.000 I'm so excited for this stuff!

02:04:34.000 The next book we're gonna be working on, hopefully we'll maybe be ready in maybe six months or so, is Ghosts of the Civil War.

02:04:40.000 Conspiracies, missing gold, old crazy war ghost stories, UFOs, this is nuts we're already getting.

02:04:48.000 And then I think the next one after that is gonna be the Chicago Mafia ghost stories, exploring what was going on, the conspiracies, the murder.
