Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Joe Biden Implicated In Hunter Scandal, It Was JOES BANK ACCOUNT w-Wokal Distance

00:00:00.000 Peace.

00:00:15.000 Joe Biden could be embroiled in the FBI probe into Hunter's finances.

00:00:20.000 Experts say emails reveal they shared bank accounts and they paid each other's bills.

00:00:27.000 And wow, that's a huge red flag, especially if Hunter Biden is doing deals and he's being flown out on air force to buy his dad to China for private equity.

00:00:37.000 And they share a bank account.

00:00:39.000 Yikes.

00:00:40.000 Now, I don't know the full details of what's going on between their bank account.

00:00:42.000 Maybe they got something worked out.

00:00:44.000 Maybe there's an entity that actually controls the account, and then they just both have access.

00:00:48.000 But either way, if they're using the money interchangeably, then yeah, the big guy's getting kickbacks on his son's deals.

00:00:55.000 More and more information is coming out.

00:00:57.000 We're seeing photos of Joe Biden meeting with Hunter Biden's partners.

00:01:01.000 The lies are just unraveling.

00:01:03.000 I think most of us realize it.

00:01:05.000 Most of us knew the story before we even got to this point.

00:01:08.000 And of course, this is why Twitter was shutting the story down back during the election, because it was really, really bad for Joe, and now we're stuck with him.

00:01:14.000 But regular people are, they're fed up.

00:01:17.000 I mean, we got 4.3 million resignations in August.

00:01:21.000 We've got shortages of basically everything.

00:01:24.000 Cargo ports, railways, everything is jammed up.

00:01:27.000 Trucker shortages.

00:01:28.000 And it's all under Joe Biden.

00:01:29.000 Things are not returning to normal.

00:01:31.000 And it seems like they like it.

00:01:33.000 They're okay with it.

00:01:35.000 So now we are seeing Joe Biden with the worst aggregate approval rating of his nine months, and he's already at 43.

00:01:45.000 When Donald Trump was being impeached, he actually had the highest approval rating of his term, so I can't understand how someone could be so despised at this point.

00:01:54.000 And not be impeached when Trump could be.

00:01:57.000 I should say I do get it.

00:01:58.000 The media was just after Trump no matter what he did and Biden can do no wrong.

00:02:02.000 But here we are.

00:02:03.000 Sooner or later people have to wake up and realize what's happening.

00:02:05.000 So we're gonna go through this.

00:02:05.000 We got a bunch of news.

00:02:06.000 We have a major scandal in Loudoun County with these parents who have been challenging critical race theory. 0.77

00:02:12.000 Turns out, and we gotta keep this one family-friendly, this is a disgusting story, a man whose daughter was abused in a bathroom by a transgender student. 0.57

00:02:20.000 ...tried to bring the issue up and was tackled and dragged out.

00:02:24.000 The scandal was covered up, and now it is all being revealed thanks to reporting by the Daily Wire.

00:02:29.000 So we're gonna get into all this stuff.

00:02:30.000 Joining us today is Wocal Distance.

00:02:33.000 I'm gonna need you to just introduce yourself and explain who you are for everybody.

00:02:37.000 My name is Wocal Distance.

00:02:38.000 That's my internet moniker.

00:02:39.000 You can find me at Wocal underscore Distance on Twitter.

00:02:42.000 I'm a visiting fellow at the Center for Renewing America, and I work in the area of postmodernism and critical theory.

00:02:48.000 So you have these threads all over Twitter just breaking down critical race theory, critical theory, gender theory, all that stuff.

00:02:55.000 Basically, wokeness.

00:02:56.000 Yes, that's right.

00:02:57.000 I want to find, dig up, and explain the intellectual and academic roots of what we call wokeness and the woke movement so that people can understand exactly what they're dealing with when woke people say things to them which to the rest of us might not seem

00:03:15.000 to make a lot of sense, but how within their own internal system it can be coherent. Some people,

00:03:20.000 one easy way to explain is you've done work with James Lindsay. Yes, yeah, James Lindsay is a

00:03:25.000 good friend of mine. We were at a retreat some time ago.

00:03:30.000 ago. The pictures are out there with some other people and James is an excellent source.

00:03:34.000 He's helped his book, Cynical Theories was very instructive and him and I go back for

00:03:40.000 a few years now and we've been working on this problem. He's excellent.

00:03:44.000 We got a lot to talk about. We also got Luke Rudkowski.

00:03:46.000 We got way too much to talk about.

00:03:48.000 Holy cow was today a quote good day.

00:03:51.000 We're finding out that the president might might have inadvertently funded his son's 2018 drug and prostitution binge.

00:03:58.000 We're finding out Texas is banning all vaccine mandates by any entity.

00:04:03.000 Judge in New York is refusing uh... that that that exemption to the religious exemption

00:04:09.000 to health care workers he's actually approving it there's the freedom flu

00:04:12.000 going around netflix refuses to remove dave chappelle

00:04:15.000 holy cow i mean is just an absolutely crazy day

00:04:19.000 and we we we got to talk about we've been working on the studio so we've got

00:04:23.000 a bunch of stuff that uh... that were we were putting up that were fixing

00:04:26.000 and then i come up here and i'm like okay so what what's what's the news for

00:04:28.000 the day obviously we have the joe biden's approval rating and there's the

00:04:30.000 story joe biden shared a bank account with his son and i'm like wow that

00:04:33.000 basically means it was his kickback it's like that's it

00:04:37.000 i don't know where you go from there when the president himself is getting

00:04:40.000 money in these kickbacks and they're just flat out saying it so

00:04:43.000 yeah there's big news huh?

00:04:45.000 There's a lot of implications here, but yeah, I'm here.

00:04:47.000 I'm Luke Hradowski of WeAreChange.org, and I have a YouTube channel that is WeAreChange, so thanks for having me.

00:04:52.000 There's a vast reservoir of knowledge about to be released into this room, so I'm gonna relax, sit back, and enjoy the ride.

00:04:58.000 Yes.

00:04:59.000 Mr. Crossland here, what's up?

00:05:01.000 Can I just add one thing to your Joe Biden bit?

00:05:04.000 Yeah.

00:05:04.000 If money was deposited that went into Joe Biden's bank account or a bank account that

00:05:10.000 Joe Biden had access to, the question immediately becomes, from Watergate, what did the president

00:05:17.000 know and when did he know it?

00:05:20.000 Yeah.

00:05:21.000 I mean, he clearly knows when money goes into his account.

00:05:23.000 Oh, no, I didn't know.

00:05:25.000 I was just using the bank account, paying my bills with it while my son was actively taking money from foreign governments, and then I went to Ukraine and got a prosecutor fired who was investigating the company my son was a director at.

00:05:37.000 Yeah, I think we know where this is going.

00:05:38.000 We'll get into this stuff.

00:05:39.000 We'll get into it.

00:05:39.000 We'll save some of it.

00:05:41.000 We got Lydia pressing the buttons, of course. 1.00

00:06:21.000 Let's get into this news.

00:06:22.000 This is big, big stuff.

00:06:24.000 We got this story from the Daily Mail.

00:06:25.000 Exclusive!

00:06:27.000 Joe Biden could become embroiled in the FBI's probe into Hunter's finances, experts say.

00:06:34.000 Emails reveal they shared bank accounts, paid each other's bills, and the president may have even funded his son's 2018 drug and prostitution binge.

00:06:45.000 We're going to be a little careful on this one, because we try to be a family-friendly show.

00:06:48.000 But when it comes to the President and his son, it's anything but family-friendly.

00:06:53.000 From Joe Biden touching children and sniffing them inappropriately, to his son doing crack.

00:06:58.000 I'm sorry, we can only cover up so much in an attempt to protect your children's ears.

00:07:03.000 The Daily Mail says President Joe Biden could become embroiled in an FBI investigation.

00:07:06.000 Let me just stop and say, yeah, right.

00:07:08.000 As if they're going to do anything.

00:07:10.000 Emails recovered by DailyMail.com from Hunter's abandoned laptop between Hunter and Eric Schwerin, his business partner at Rosemount Seneca, show Schwerin was working on Joe's taxes, discussing the father and son paying each other's household bills, and even fielding requests for a book deal for the then-Vice President.

00:07:32.000 It is unclear why Schwerin Had the intimate role in the vice president's affairs rather than government officials in the office of the vice president.

00:07:39.000 Hunter's claim that he and his father shared a bank account also raises serious questions whether funds from the alleged joint account were used for Hunter's May 2018 week-long bender.

00:07:49.000 Well, look.

00:07:50.000 If you have a bank account, it's got a dollar in it.

00:07:52.000 And then someone puts a dollar in it.

00:07:54.000 The money is mixed up now.

00:07:56.000 And then if you take a dollar out, yeah, sorry, we don't play that game.

00:07:58.000 This is how, like, you know, when the feds go after money laundering, you can't just be like, it's one bank account, but all of our money is different.

00:08:04.000 They're gonna be like, nah, you're mixing it all together.

00:08:07.000 They say, last December, Hunter admitted in a public statement that he was under federal investigation over his tax affairs.

00:08:13.000 All right, let's slow down for a second.

00:08:15.000 So now we're learning Joe Biden, sharing a bank account with his son.

00:08:20.000 Hunter Biden, on the board of Burisma, getting paid, what was it, $83,000 per month?

00:08:24.000 Yeah.

00:08:25.000 Burisma being investigated, or I should say, Mykolas Lachewski, the founder of it, being investigated by the prosecutor, Viktor Shokin.

00:08:32.000 Joe Biden goes to Ukraine and says, if you don't fire the prosecutor, you don't get, what was it, a billion dollars?

00:08:38.000 Yeah, it was a huge amount.

00:08:39.000 And so they say, OK, fine.

00:08:41.000 They fire the prosecutor.

00:08:42.000 Official narrative from the U.S.

00:08:43.000 establishment mainstream media is, oh, they fired him because he wasn't investigating this guy.

00:08:49.000 So Hunter Biden, who has no business being on the board of this company, a company that's under investigation, getting paid 83 grand, sharing a bank account with his dad.

00:08:57.000 His dad then goes in, fires a prosecutor who was investigating the company.

00:09:02.000 We know this from Matt Taibbi's reporting.

00:09:04.000 Sounds like Joe Biden was protecting his own assets by going to Ukraine, getting this guy fired.

00:09:12.000 It wasn't about corruption.

00:09:13.000 It wasn't about anything other than his own corruption.

00:09:16.000 So what do we do with information like that?

00:09:21.000 I'm shrugging for those that aren't watching.

00:09:22.000 Do a TV show and talk about it.

00:09:23.000 Fortunately, we already have the TV show, so let's talk about it.

00:09:26.000 We can all shake our fists in the air and then tomorrow wake up because nothing changes? 1.00

00:09:29.000 No, this dude's a scumbag, and I think this is going to be big news. 0.99

00:09:34.000 They tried to hide the laptop scandal with the Post story. 0.99

00:09:37.000 Yeah, you brought up a very important point here, Ian.

00:09:40.000 The fact that there was so much censorship, especially around the Hunter Biden email stories, because this, I mean, the Daily Mail says that they got this story from the emails.

00:09:49.000 So the fact that there was so much suppression shows that they actually do care about what the public thinks about them.

00:09:55.000 They actually do need the public to acquiesce, and there's a large number of voters that said that if they knew about these emails, they would have voted differently.

00:10:03.000 So this, of course, has a lot of implications.

00:10:05.000 I mean, we know he lied about the ATF form when it comes to buying firearms.

00:10:12.000 He lied about a lot of other things as well that he should have been held responsible for, liable for.

00:10:19.000 I mean, the guy is on video committing acts.

00:10:22.000 There's photos of him committing acts that we can't even mention here on YouTube.

00:10:26.000 Let me read this portion of the story, because y'all's jaws are going to hit the floor.

00:10:31.000 Hunter and Schwerin privately discussed the potential to ingratiate themselves with, quote, CEOs of the major banks if they helped arrange the request.

00:10:40.000 This is to Senator Robert Menendez, who requested VP Biden host the US-Spain's Council 2010 Annual Meeting at his official Naval Observatory residence in D.C.

00:10:48.000 They contacted Schwerin rather than Joe's White House office.

00:10:51.000 Interestingly, we then see this.

00:10:53.000 Hunter complained that half of his salary went to paying his father's bills while he was VP, casting doubt on Joe's previous claim that he's never benefited from his son's business dealings.

00:11:04.000 In a 2019 text to his daughter Naomi, he wrote, I hope you all can do what I did and pay for

00:11:09.000 everything for this entire family for 30 years. It's really hard, but don't worry, unlike pop,

00:11:14.000 I won't make you give me half your salary. So that's previously uncovered information.

00:11:18.000 Now we have Joe Biden sharing a bank account with his son.

00:11:22.000 Let me explain something to y'all.

00:11:25.000 I have an accountant, and I'm like, hey, what can I do to help, you know, help my family out?

00:11:30.000 And he goes, nothing.

00:11:32.000 Nothing.

00:11:33.000 You cannot do anything special for family, for the most part, for the most part.

00:11:37.000 There's certain things like friends and family, you know, with investment stuff.

00:11:40.000 But if you want to give someone money, it's taxed.

00:11:43.000 It's either a gift up to a certain limit.

00:11:45.000 Right now, I believe the limit is $15,000.

00:11:47.000 And after that, you got to pay taxes on it.

00:11:49.000 If they're splitting bank accounts and they're as wealthy as, you know, we know they're wealthy, then this is, what is this, tax avoidance?

00:11:56.000 How much money went into this bank account?

00:11:58.000 I don't know for sure.

00:12:00.000 I don't know for sure.

00:12:01.000 And I think the issue is, as soon as they mix their finances, questions have to be raised about any and all of their finances.

00:12:08.000 All of them, yeah.

00:12:09.000 I was gonna say, I heard a really familiar name in this story, and that was Bob Menendez.

00:12:14.000 Do you guys remember Bob Menendez and what he got in trouble for?

00:12:18.000 Something about the Dominican Republic and some kind of... Young women? 0.99

00:12:21.000 Young ladies! 0.68

00:12:22.000 Yes, we'll put it that way.

00:12:23.000 So as far as I'm concerned, I don't see anything bad ever happening to the Bidens based on what happened to Bob Menendez, aka nothing.

00:12:30.000 I don't think anything's gonna happen.

00:12:31.000 Look, it's kind of funny when under Trump they were like, Trump won't be investigated because Bill Barr is his lackey and it's never gonna happen and I'm sitting here like, and Merrick Garland?

00:12:39.000 What's he gonna do?

00:12:40.000 You think Merrick Garland's gonna go after Joe Biden and be like, lock him up?

00:12:43.000 He's gonna be like, hey Joe, they're talking about you.

00:12:45.000 Can I have some money?

00:12:46.000 There you go.

00:12:49.000 I think it's also hilarious that this is the same president lecturing parents about how they should raise their children.

00:12:55.000 I mean, are you kidding me?

00:13:00.000 Let's be serious here.

00:13:01.000 I mean, if you're Hunter Biden's father, you can't be telling other people how to raise your children.

00:13:07.000 You can't be telling people to, you know, giving them specific...

00:13:11.000 He came out and said, you know, if you're if you're not following the science, if you're not taking these procedures, you're not raising your children right.

00:13:18.000 And again, there's a lot to say about that.

00:13:21.000 But there's just so much corruption, so much dirtiness.

00:13:24.000 I mean, we have the flights to China.

00:13:27.000 We have the business dealings with Ukraine.

00:13:29.000 We have so many companies just intertwined.

00:13:31.000 And yesterday on the show, I specifically said, sorry, I'm having like headphones problems and I keep hearing myself back.

00:13:37.000 So I keep getting distracted.

00:13:38.000 He's losing his mind.

00:13:40.000 It's just weird hearing your own voice, but there's so many instances, and as I said yesterday, this country has been sold for pennies on the dollar, and the way you buy influence, the way that you buy off politicians, the way that our system works is incredibly easy for a third party to come in and to manipulate this for their own benefit in so many different ways.

00:14:02.000 Having dirt, having videos of Biden doing unspeakable things with Women, with relatives, with family members.

00:14:10.000 I mean, that's top-notch, top-level extortion-level material that could be leveraged that we know many foreign countries had before.

00:14:20.000 Now, this is what we know.

00:14:22.000 What don't we know about?

00:14:23.000 What wasn't in the emails that we still don't know about, that maybe foreign countries have, that could be used to exploit the current president of the United States?

00:14:31.000 You know how I feel about this story?

00:14:33.000 I feel like, you know, we get this bombshell revelation, oh Joe Biden's sharing banks, like they're funding each other, and Joe Biden potentially paying for hookers and stuff.

00:14:42.000 I feel like I just burst into the room and I'm like, everybody listen! 1.00

00:14:45.000 Joe Biden's a corrupt! 0.99

00:14:47.000 And everyone's like, oh shut, we know! 0.99

00:14:50.000 What is this?

00:14:50.000 What are you even talking about?

00:14:51.000 And I'm like, but we have the story, and they're like, yeah whatever!

00:14:54.000 What do you do?

00:14:55.000 Are we going to see a red wave in 2022, maybe?

00:15:00.000 An impeachment?

00:15:01.000 The dude needs to be impeached, please.

00:15:03.000 Yeah, but then we're gonna have, you know, President Kamala and her child actors that 1.00

00:15:08.000 she hires to cackle, laughing to the camera as she like does weird, strange, bizarre videos 1.00

00:15:13.000 promoting space and looking at the craters of the moon for some reason.

00:15:17.000 It's reassuring, you know, with all the economic calamities, with so much problems that the

00:15:23.000 White House is spending money on child actors to convey people about looking at the moon.

00:15:27.000 I mean, are you freaking kidding me?

00:15:30.000 They're so out of touch with reality.

00:15:32.000 They hope no one's paying attention.

00:15:34.000 They want you to feel like, hey, there's so much corruption.

00:15:36.000 It's just okay.

00:15:37.000 It's the new norm.

00:15:38.000 It's not.

00:15:38.000 It's not okay.

00:15:39.000 And I think there's a reason what Ian brought up here, that censorship happened of these emails.

00:15:44.000 The censorship was crucial.

00:15:46.000 I think it would have made a big impact in the elections, and I think it's going to make an impact Later down the line in this political spectrum and people

00:15:52.000 ...

00:15:53.000 look at the president look at the clear corruption look at ...

00:15:56.000 the clear dereliction of duty look at the cleared mess left ...

00:15:59.000 by him and be like how could we not seen this happening well ...

00:16:01.000 because of big tech social online censorship.

00:16:03.000 I would like to make two points.

00:16:05.000 I would like to make two points about that doesn't ...

00:16:09.000 chatter going nuts about my not being.

00:16:11.000 I would like to point out, I would like to say that Jean Baudrillard is going to be spinning in his grave over that stunt that Kamala pulled.

00:16:21.000 Absolutely unbelievable because every ounce of that is fake.

00:16:26.000 The whole thing is a prefabricated commercial where you're supposed to bring people in so that Kamala has a chance to go out and impress them. 1.00

00:16:35.000 So it's a setup to begin with.

00:16:36.000 But it's not even a real setup.

00:16:38.000 It's supposed to be a setup of a spontaneous moment, but it's not even a real setup of a spontaneous moment.

00:16:43.000 It's a fake setup of a spontaneous moment.

00:16:47.000 It's two levels of fake.

00:16:48.000 It's a fake of a fake.

00:16:49.000 It's a copy of a copy.

00:16:51.000 So they have actors who are paid to act like they're real people so that Kamala can come in and act like it's a spontaneous moment that's not set up and prefabricated ahead of time.

00:17:01.000 That they auditioned for.

00:17:02.000 Yes.

00:17:02.000 So you had to audition for a spontaneous moment.

00:17:07.000 What a creepy fake reality.

00:17:08.000 I don't know.

00:17:08.000 Who was the last genuine president? I guess Trump was...

00:17:11.000 Nah, he wasn't genuine either, the way he said... Now I'm getting that weird tinny sound

00:17:15.000 in my headphones. The way he said, Ghislaine, he hopes, wishes her well. I don't know. I think

00:17:21.000 Trump was very straightforward, and he just bluntly said that and many other things. Maybe

00:17:25.000 Trump.

00:17:25.000 Before that, Jimmy Carter, because Reagan was full of it.

00:17:27.000 I try to watch old interviews with Reagan and he's just like smiling and like, oh, they're gonna... He's an actor, yeah.

00:17:32.000 It's all theater.

00:17:33.000 It's all a show.

00:17:34.000 That's why they're literally building a stage for Joe Biden to not be in the White House.

00:17:39.000 It's played on like a theater.

00:17:42.000 Everything we're seeing is just horse and pony.

00:17:45.000 It's all a showcase.

00:17:46.000 It's all meant to fool you into this larger kind of illusion that they actually have power over you when they desperately need to have that conviction.

00:17:54.000 Well, we have more news, ladies and gentlemen.

00:17:57.000 Joe Biden's aggregate approval rating is just getting massively worse, breaking a new record high disapproval and a new record low approval.

00:18:06.000 Wow.

00:18:07.000 This is just, it's getting bad.

00:18:09.000 Disapproval is at 52.3.

00:18:12.000 His approval is down to 43.

00:18:14.000 And look at this major spike.

00:18:16.000 Regular people are starting to wake up to what's going on.

00:18:19.000 Joe Biden is bad. 1.00

00:18:21.000 He is corrupt. 1.00

00:18:22.000 His leadership is failing this country. 0.54

00:18:24.000 We got a southern border crisis, an economic crisis, a jobs crisis, a mass resignation crisis, an inflation crisis, stagflation, shrinkflation, just any kind offlation, just make up a word.

00:18:34.000 We got it, yeah.

00:18:35.000 We got all of them.

00:18:36.000 Enough to go around for everybody.

00:18:38.000 It looks like that inflection point is right about when he came out with this mandate nonsense.

00:18:42.000 It's true.

00:18:43.000 Yeah, right around the time he announced the mandate.

00:18:45.000 When the mandate started becoming big.

00:18:47.000 There was a major swap.

00:18:48.000 And by the way, those aren't actual mandates.

00:18:50.000 OSHA has not approved these things yet.

00:18:51.000 That's right.

00:18:52.000 It was his announcement of a rule to be and OSHA has not implemented any rules and there's no

00:18:57.000 executive order. Yet we're seeing all these businesses just go along with it. This is what

00:19:01.000 I think. A lot of people anti-elected Trump. As we mentioned over and over again on the show that

00:19:07.000 there was that article, just stay alive Joe Biden. And this is what you get when you don't have

00:19:13.000 a legitimate administration.

00:19:16.000 And what I mean by that is an administration that is actually going to do the job, that is actually having the meetings.

00:19:21.000 Joe Biden is probably asleep with a burlap blanket on his laps in the sun snoring all day, while Kamala is just like, what do I got to do to make it seem like I'm working?

00:19:31.000 Give me some child actors or something, and I'll just pretend.

00:19:34.000 And then I'm done, right?

00:19:36.000 That's where we're at.

00:19:36.000 You are here.

00:19:37.000 Yep.

00:19:38.000 So Biden was unelected and we're seeing the result of choosing people based on like the color of their skin and their gender and sexual orientation. 0.95

00:19:45.000 We're seeing Pete Buttigieg being totally incompetent. 0.74

00:19:48.000 Kamala Harris just cackling her way through being a terrible vice president. 1.00

00:19:52.000 Cackling her way through the vice presidency.

00:19:53.000 It's so bad.

00:19:54.000 It's so bad.

00:19:54.000 But this is what happens when you hire people based on You know, checking a demographic box.

00:19:59.000 They're totally incompetent and everyone's shocked by this.

00:20:02.000 It's also kind of what happens when you treat the political realm like a reality TV show. 0.96

00:20:08.000 They just put, they want monkey dance, monkey dance. 1.00

00:20:11.000 And then they get the entertainers and stupid people in chart doing the dance. 1.00

00:20:14.000 And the people that are willing to do the dance, do the dance. 1.00

00:20:17.000 And the people, everyone else builds spaceships.

00:20:20.000 Who's building a spaceship?

00:20:22.000 Elon.

00:20:22.000 Mr. Musk.

00:20:23.000 Can I take a chance to just drive something home?

00:20:26.000 Yes.

00:20:27.000 We are living in a postmodern era.

00:20:29.000 I keep screaming about this on Twitter, and this is how I kind of built my following.

00:20:32.000 We are now living in postmodernism.

00:20:34.000 Is that why it doesn't make sense?

00:20:35.000 That is why, well, it's not coherent.

00:20:37.000 It doesn't need to make sense.

00:20:37.000 This is postmodernism.

00:20:40.000 I always say that Trump is our first postmodern president.

00:20:42.000 He was the first president of the fully postmodern age, the age of narrative where truth doesn't matter.

00:20:47.000 So you can see that in the entire media circus around Trump, where even the fact checks aren't real.

00:20:52.000 Right? You're, they're not, the fact checks are not to check if the facts are real. They're to

00:20:58.000 check if they're the appropriate facts that they approve of.

00:21:01.000 Are these approved facts?

00:21:02.000 Are these the facts that are helpful to us? Right?

00:21:06.000 Right.

00:21:06.000 Oh, man.

00:21:06.000 Right.

00:21:06.000 was on there. And then as we as we move through the Biden presidency, everything about it

00:21:13.000 is fake. They built a fake room so that he could pretend to be in the White House.

00:21:16.000 Right. We had we had Kamala bring child actors on so she could pretend to be surprised and 1.00

00:21:22.000 have an authentic moment. Right. And to be genuine, allegedly. Yeah. So we had a fake

00:21:26.000 genuine moment. Yeah.

00:21:27.000 Yeah. We're having.

00:21:29.000 We're going to stage a genuine moment for the people so that the people can have a genuine moment to look at while they're watching President Biden get vaccined in the White House, in the fake room in the White House.

00:21:40.000 This is all simulation.

00:21:42.000 It's an era of complete and utter inauthenticity.

00:21:51.000 There is nothing about it which touches reality at any point.

00:21:55.000 It's entirely staged.

00:21:57.000 It doesn't refer to anything.

00:21:59.000 Nothing about it is rooted in the real-world experience of anybody.

00:22:05.000 That's why you have actors who audition for it.

00:22:08.000 It's not just they brought actors in and said, have a good time, or brought actors in and said, here are your lines.

00:22:12.000 They brought actors in and said, you have to audition for the genuineness and surprise.

00:22:19.000 How do you audition for a surprise?

00:22:22.000 How do you audition to be surprised?

00:22:24.000 What does that even mean?

00:22:25.000 Well, actors probably do it all the time in movies or whatever.

00:22:28.000 Yeah.

00:22:29.000 I think a better word than simulation is simulacrum.

00:22:31.000 Yes.

00:22:32.000 The simulation implies there's a functioning, you know, system and we're trying, is it real?

00:22:39.000 No, it's a caricature.

00:22:41.000 And I wanted to make sure I got the definition right.

00:22:43.000 An insubstantial replication.

00:22:46.000 It is very obvious.

00:22:48.000 You know, it's like, It's like a caricature.

00:22:52.000 We're looking at a caricature of an administration.

00:22:55.000 Yeah, I would agree with that.

00:22:57.000 I think James O'Keefe really characterized this well where he compared what's happening now to 1984 when they're asking you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

00:23:07.000 So I think we're at that particular phase right now where literally we have evidence, we have photos, we have documentation, we have witnesses, we have whistleblowers coming forward Screaming saying hey there's some awful things ... happening in this world there's some really bad people ... doing horrible things and then the mainstream media is like ... it's weather there's bad weather and and regurgitating ... all this nonsense and lies that is absolutely nonsensical ... and anyone paying attention to to anything that's happening ... it's just an insult to their intelligence.

00:23:34.000 I got a feeling that, because it seems like since the internet, I started noticing them lying and creating a mass narrative that's not real.

00:23:41.000 But before the internet, I never realized it, but I think they were just doing it then anyway.

00:23:45.000 They're just using ABC news to push it.

00:23:47.000 And now at least it's obvious that there's no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

00:23:51.000 And it's not just child actors that they're hiring.

00:23:53.000 They're hiring social media influencers.

00:23:58.000 They're hiring doctors.

00:24:00.000 They're hiring other actors.

00:24:04.000 They're hiring everyone to kind of prop them up as this kind of legitimate force.

00:24:08.000 And then when we really look at it, a lot of it is phony.

00:24:11.000 A lot of it is based on lies.

00:24:12.000 A lot of it is based on, here, we'll give you this money, just say these lines.

00:24:15.000 And sadly, some people do that.

00:24:17.000 You guys know the story, we've talked about it a lot, Kierkegaard's clown, you know, he comes out and he's like, there's a fire in the back, and then everyone starts laughing, and he's like, no seriously, there's a fire, and they laugh even harder, and he says, I think that's how the world will end, you know, or whatever.

00:24:29.000 It kind of feels like it's the other way around.

00:24:31.000 You know, there's a small group of us and we're sitting in the audience and on TV is

00:24:36.000 all of these people that are all pretending like there's no fire and we're the ones yelling

00:24:41.000 back like, there is a fire and they're like, no.

00:24:46.000 And they just, they're just, they're putting on a show.

00:24:48.000 They're performing.

00:24:49.000 It kind of feels like we now exist with a government of people who are basically like,

00:24:55.000 what time is it?

00:24:55.000 What do I have to do to pretend to do the job so that I can get paid and go home?

00:25:00.000 Kamala Harris comes out with some child actors.

00:25:02.000 Biden builds a fake set.

00:25:04.000 You know what?

00:25:05.000 You know what?

00:25:06.000 Why?

00:25:07.000 I don't understand the fake set, but I can say Biden likes to go home a lot.

00:25:10.000 Sure does.

00:25:11.000 No, but none of these people want to be working.

00:25:12.000 Well, I hire people who didn't, who weren't right for the job.

00:25:15.000 This is what you get.

00:25:16.000 To be fair, I sympathize with.

00:25:17.000 I understand people don't want to be at work most of the time.

00:25:19.000 I can't really relate because I love my job.

00:25:21.000 But I will say that this very much, to me, looks like a case of bread and circuses.

00:25:25.000 And when you're seeing it in your politics, I think that's unsettling.

00:25:29.000 That's a serious issue.

00:25:31.000 So can I throw something out?

00:25:33.000 Yeah.

00:25:33.000 I'd like to toss something out.

00:25:35.000 I think what we're seeing is what I like to call the strawberry slurpee of a presidency.

00:25:43.000 OK, so here's what I mean.

00:25:45.000 Suppose we go back in time and we find some original, natural, organic strawberries.

00:25:51.000 We pick them, we eat them, they taste pretty good.

00:25:53.000 Fast forward to the 1960s, and all of a sudden we can farm strawberries, and we only take the biggest, reddest, juiciest strawberries for consumption.

00:26:01.000 We'll call that a productive copy.

00:26:03.000 Well then someone comes along and says, hey, we're eating those big, juicy strawberries, well we can make a strawberry candy out of it.

00:26:09.000 Okay, well then we go a little further and someone else says, yeah, we can make a strawberry candy, but we're going to add some sugar.

00:26:14.000 Okay, then someone else comes along and says, yeah, well, we'll make a strawberry candy, but we'll use corn syrup instead of sugar.

00:26:20.000 Then someone else says, we'll make a soft drink of the candy.

00:26:23.000 And then somebody else comes along and says, we are going to make a strawberry slurpee that is flavored Like the soda that is flavored like the candy that is flavored like the straw and all of a sudden you're so far away from the original thing that they're not even comparable.

00:26:40.000 The flavor of the strawberry Slurpee is nothing like the flavor of the organic thing.

00:26:46.000 What we have right now for a presidency is nothing like what it's supposed to be.

00:26:51.000 It's entirely, entirely what they think people expect a presidency to look like.

00:26:57.000 That's why they have to build a set, so they can get the perfect angle, so that they can create the image of what they think people expect a presidency to be, at the cost of what an actual presidency might actually be, if one was really occurring.

00:27:09.000 I do got some bad news to add to that.

00:27:12.000 I think raspberry might be a better example, because you guys know where they get the flavoring for a raspberry artificial flavor?

00:27:18.000 Yeah, it's beaver anus.

00:27:20.000 Castorum. 0.98

00:27:22.000 It's the beaver anal gland, I think it is. 0.99

00:27:24.000 Beaver butt. 0.97

00:27:25.000 So, you think you're eating this delicious... it's strawberry, they say. 0.55

00:27:29.000 You're eating a strawberry.

00:27:30.000 You take a bite and you're like, hmm.

00:27:33.000 Yeah.

00:27:33.000 It's kind of like strawberry.

00:27:34.000 Castoreum.

00:27:35.000 And they're like, it's not real.

00:27:36.000 It's actually, it's actually just from beaver butt.

00:27:38.000 That's right.

00:27:39.000 That's Biden's presidency.

00:27:40.000 You're eating some artificial GMO Monsanto gene spliced strawberry shake that doesn't taste anything like it was supposed to. 0.94

00:27:47.000 And it came from a beaver butt.

00:27:48.000 You're convinced that this is normal since this is what they gave you since you were a little small child.

00:27:52.000 Even worse about that is that the flavor is not the point.

00:27:56.000 It's what you, the nutrition you get from a strawberry.

00:28:00.000 So now we got, We've got mutilated disc flavor.

00:28:05.000 You're not even getting any of the nutrition that you need from the valid strawberry presidency.

00:28:09.000 It's not just Biden.

00:28:10.000 It's everything.

00:28:12.000 It's the whole government.

00:28:12.000 It's Congress.

00:28:13.000 It's the Senate.

00:28:14.000 I think they built that room for implementing a special teleprompter that's really big that they can't fit in the White House.

00:28:20.000 Or just some kind of new medical advice that wakes him up and zaps him.

00:28:24.000 There has to be some reason, some kind of official explanation.

00:28:28.000 He's got a gigantic series of cables in his back that go down into a massive power system.

00:28:33.000 It's a giant reactor to keep him alive.

00:28:35.000 He's Robo-Biden.

00:28:35.000 That would make more sense.

00:28:36.000 You remember when Franklin Delano Roosevelt got paralyzed?

00:28:42.000 Was it polio that took his legs?

00:28:43.000 Wasn't he always paralyzed?

00:28:45.000 No, not in the beginning of his presidency.

00:28:46.000 And they hid it for, I don't know how long, two years or something.

00:28:49.000 They hid it.

00:28:50.000 So what I imagine with Biden, I mean, the guy is decrepit.

00:28:54.000 If that's the right word, he's like almost falling over.

00:28:56.000 Like if you listen to 10 years ago, are they hiding it?

00:29:02.000 They've done it before.

00:29:03.000 Yeah.

00:29:04.000 I don't know, but I, I want to go back to your point about the nutrition thing.

00:29:08.000 Cause I think it's, it's just a perfect point.

00:29:11.000 All of the stuff that should be going on in Congress isn't.

00:29:15.000 None of it's going on.

00:29:17.000 But if you go to Congress, it sure looks like there's stuff going.

00:29:19.000 You've got people in suits walking around.

00:29:22.000 Very important people.

00:29:22.000 People are exchanging business cards.

00:29:24.000 There's Capitol Hill police.

00:29:25.000 There's a lot of people that are walking around looking very, very busy.

00:29:28.000 They're holding votes on things.

00:29:30.000 Nothing's going on.

00:29:31.000 It's entirely fake.

00:29:33.000 This is Baudrillard's point, and this is why I say we're living in a post-modern moment.

00:29:37.000 We are living in a time of the image is what matters, the substance is almost utterly irrelevant, if it's even seen at all or cared about.

00:29:48.000 We know they're all lying is what really, really makes me just so sick of all of this.

00:29:55.000 Let me pull up this story.

00:29:56.000 We got another story.

00:29:56.000 Check this out.

00:29:57.000 You guys are gonna love it.

00:29:58.000 Southwest CEO says he never wanted a COVID vaccine mandate, but Biden forced his hand.

00:30:04.000 Is that what Biden is?

00:30:05.000 He's the patsy.

00:30:06.000 For the CEOs, for the establishment, they're like, I'm imagining the CEO sitting there and he's like, he's trying to do this vaccine mandate.

00:30:12.000 And like the CEO from some other company, like, you know, AA's there.

00:30:14.000 And it's like, everybody's mad at me.

00:30:16.000 What do I do?

00:30:16.000 Oh, just blame Biden.

00:30:18.000 What do you mean?

00:30:18.000 You don't blame, you're not blaming Biden for your problems?

00:30:21.000 Oh, Biden's our fall guy.

00:30:23.000 All of the problems in the economy right now, everything bad happening, you just say Biden did it.

00:30:27.000 Okay, and he comes out and he's like, I didn't want a vaccine mandate.

00:30:29.000 Biden made me do it.

00:30:31.000 Even though Biden didn't make anyone do it because there's no actual executive order or OSHA rule.

00:30:35.000 But it's a convenient out for a guy who's collapsing in his approval rating.

00:30:39.000 For the Southwest CEO to be like, I don't know, everybody seems to be mad at the guy.

00:30:43.000 Let him take the fall for me.

00:30:44.000 I think this is a continuation of the same thing.

00:30:46.000 This is them wanting the appearance of the thing without the actual thing.

00:30:50.000 They want the appearance of bowing to the superior, you know, having some kind of responsibility to what Biden has told them to do, even though they haven't actually made a law or rule or even a mandate.

00:31:00.000 So they're just taking the appearance.

00:31:02.000 They don't really care about what's actually true.

00:31:04.000 Look at this.

00:31:05.000 Let me read this.

00:31:05.000 They say, quote, I've never been in favor of corporations imposing that kind of mandate.

00:31:09.000 I'm not in favor of that.

00:31:10.000 Never have been.

00:31:11.000 But the executive order from President Biden mandates all federal employees and then all federal contractors, which covers all major airlines, have to have a vaccine mandate in place by December 8th.

00:31:21.000 So we're working through that.

00:31:22.000 Now, that sounds a bit circuitous.

00:31:24.000 There is the federal employee mandate.

00:31:26.000 As my understanding, but this covers all the airlines?

00:31:29.000 That's... I didn't know that.

00:31:31.000 Southwest said last week that 56,000 employees need to be vaccinated by December 8th in order to keep working for the airline under federal mandate.

00:31:38.000 Southwest's announcement came a few days after other carriers, American Airlines, Alaskan Airlines, and JetBlue, informed employees of the need to adhere to federal vaccine rules.

00:31:47.000 In August, before the Biden administration's action, United Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines instituted COVID vaccine requirements for their staffs.

00:31:54.000 United said earlier this month that more than 96% of its 67,000 U.S.

00:31:57.000 employees have shared proof of vaccination after its late September deadline.

00:32:01.000 What was the amount of employees they had before this was announced?

00:32:04.000 And also, just to throw back to what Ian said, around August is when Joe Biden announced the vaccine mandates and that's when his approval rating flipped the inflection point, when all of a sudden people were like, I don't like this guy.

00:32:14.000 Because I'll tell you, I mentioned this on the show several times, I know somebody who is like Biden and waving Biden flags and now he's freaking out because he's like my job is going to force me to do this and I don't want to.

00:32:26.000 Some people are saying that the Southwest CEO is in the World Economic Forum, is a part of that group, and it's also just very convenient that he's just lumping everything on Biden.

00:32:35.000 He doesn't have to comply.

00:32:37.000 There's a lot of other people.

00:32:38.000 There's a lot of unions.

00:32:39.000 There's a lot of big companies saying, we're not going to comply with this.

00:32:42.000 And there was even a statement saying that Southwest will not be using the Texas exemption as a way to implement this vaccine passport, this vaccine mandate, which they're imposing.

00:32:54.000 There's also a very interesting date that they're setting ... not just with Southwest but many other corporations are ... setting the date of December 8th as the deadline it's all ... kind of done in unison which is oddly strange as well but ... again no one is forcing Southwest to do this it's an ... executive order executive decrees are argued they go to ... court there's a lot of very important court battles.

00:33:18.000 So he's moving forward with this and clearly a lot of his employees, a lot of the people who work for him aren't happy with this and they're protesting in their own kind of unique way that we're seeing with this freedom.

00:33:29.000 I don't think it's protest.

00:33:31.000 I think.

00:33:31.000 Kind of.

00:33:32.000 I think, yes.

00:33:33.000 There's a very kind of blurred line here because the pilots don't want to get officially in trouble.

00:33:39.000 No, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't.

00:33:41.000 I talked to a pilot and he's like, it's worse than a sick out.

00:33:45.000 Like this, a lot of people want to believe that all these pilots are like, hey guys, should we jump ship right now?

00:33:50.000 And they'll high five, but don't let anyone know because we'll get in trouble.

00:33:53.000 When in reality, it seems like, yo, as we've been saying time and time again, you can only push people so far.

00:34:00.000 I don't see evidence of an organized effort.

00:34:02.000 I see regular people just saying, I'm out.

00:34:04.000 And that's, that's something substantially worse.

00:34:06.000 It's like, so this is what I was saying the other day. 0.97

00:34:08.000 Imagine if Biden came out and said, in order for everybody to keep their jobs, they got to go punch a baby.

00:34:14.000 And then all of a sudden it's like record resignations, airlines shut down.

00:34:17.000 What's happening? 0.59

00:34:18.000 It's like, dude, no one organized an event not to punch babies.

00:34:21.000 They just won't do it.

00:34:22.000 That's what people need to understand about vaccine mandates.

00:34:24.000 It's not like some guy called his friend and said, let's organize together and refuse this.

00:34:28.000 It's a guy being like, yo, I ain't doing that.

00:34:30.000 Just on there, on his own.

00:34:32.000 He didn't need anybody to tell him to do it.

00:34:35.000 Yeah, that's big.

00:34:36.000 That, along with other disruptions in our supply chains, in our labor workforce, is something that's only going to start from now on, since these deadlines are just encroaching in just a few days from now.

00:34:51.000 There's a big conflict happening and whether it's organized or not organized, it's happening.

00:34:56.000 And there's a formidable force of individuals of people saying enough is enough.

00:35:00.000 I believe in my personal autonomy.

00:35:02.000 I believe in my personal liberty.

00:35:03.000 I believe in being able to make the right decisions for myself as a human being and the media is acting like these people don't even exist.

00:35:11.000 They do exist.

00:35:12.000 There's a lot of them.

00:35:13.000 There's a lot more of them than we would even even know about because they don't want you knowing about this.

00:35:17.000 They don't want you even talking about the major demonstrations and protests that have been happening all over the world in New York, in Italy, in France, in Australia, in the United Kingdom.

00:35:27.000 There's been major huge rallies with thousands of people hitting the streets saying, hey, this is an unpopular I want to point something out too.

00:35:35.000 The Southwest CEO is really coming out against the mandates.

00:35:37.000 from the government. I don't want big fat bureaucratic agents who work at the DMV 0.90

00:35:42.000 relegating every aspect of my existence and what I could do and where I could go.

00:35:45.000 I got I want to point something out too. The Southwest CEO is really coming out

00:35:49.000 against the mandates. Sounds like he knows what's really driving the work

00:35:54.000 strain. Right. Could I just ask you said that there actually isn't a

00:36:00.000 mandate in place?

00:36:02.000 That the Southwest CEO, there's not a real law.

00:36:05.000 So Biden said if you've got at least 100 employees, you've got to mandate vaccines.

00:36:10.000 OSHA has yet to implement any rule and there's no executive order.

00:36:12.000 However, what the Southwest CEO is saying is that Joe Biden did issue an executive order on federal contractors, which includes airlines.

00:36:20.000 Therefore, they must adhere to a federal vaccine mandate.

00:36:24.000 Now he's in trouble, though.

00:36:25.000 It's funny that the media comes out and is like, immediately trying to debunk the narrative.

00:36:29.000 No, no, pilots aren't sticking out or anything like that.

00:36:32.000 And I'm like, okay, technically the truth, but they're just not showing up because they won't do this.

00:36:36.000 Now the CEO comes out and says, I'm not in favor of vaccine mandates.

00:36:40.000 Well, hold on there a minute.

00:36:41.000 Who cares?

00:36:42.000 I thought vaccine mandates had nothing to do with why there was a major flight cancellation and why you were short-staffed.

00:36:47.000 I thought it was weather.

00:36:49.000 He said it was the weather.

00:36:50.000 You know, it's funny.

00:36:51.000 American Airlines, the only airline impacted by weather.

00:36:54.000 It's amazing.

00:36:55.000 They must fly paper airplanes that get soggy and fall out of the sky.

00:36:59.000 It's complete BS.

00:37:00.000 They're lying.

00:37:01.000 For him to come out and be like, Biden won the vaccine mandate.

00:37:04.000 Sounds like he's now trying to placate the people who aren't showing up.

00:37:08.000 Yeah.

00:37:08.000 And he's trying to shift blame on himself, his personal decisions, and blame it on Biden, which I think many multinational corporations have been doing, many powerful interests have been doing, when they implement a lot of their policies that they would never dare publicly even speak about.

00:37:23.000 But when you have a guy who's not really even there, who can't even speak properly, that's the perfect opportunity to ram through your bullcrap, blame everything on him.

00:37:31.000 We talked about this a few days ago.

00:37:33.000 You just brought up this point.

00:37:34.000 I mean, this is absolutely perfect a genius strategy in order to get away with these atrocities

00:37:39.000 ...

00:37:40.000 that clearly people do not want people are sick of it there's ...

00:37:43.000 also two images going around the internet right now that are ...

00:37:47.000 going pretty viral one is a Southwest airplane with the ...

00:37:50.000 Gaston flag.

00:37:52.000 Yeah.

00:37:52.000 And another one is someone in a Southwest uniform putting his head down with a sign saying, no jab, no job.

00:37:59.000 Why?

00:38:00.000 Question mark.

00:38:00.000 Father of five, 20 year Navy vet, 4,000 hours Southwest Airlines and a heart that's broken.

00:38:09.000 So those two images are going viral right now and whether this was You know, organized or not, I don't think it even matters at this point because I think it's clear with the mandates encroaching, especially on December 8th, for many people all over the world, for many people in the United States, for many corporations, that these kind of actions, that these kind of

00:38:30.000 Disruptions are only going to get more intense.

00:38:33.000 There's some people calling for a national strike.

00:38:35.000 There's already shortages at Amtrak.

00:38:37.000 Amtrak is already cancelling a number of train options for people because of issues with their staff.

00:38:46.000 Again, being extremely vague here, let's just call a spade a spade here.

00:38:49.000 A lot of people aren't happy and they're not sitting down for it.

00:38:52.000 Luke, why December 8th?

00:38:54.000 I have no idea.

00:38:55.000 I think... I mean, we could speculate right now.

00:38:57.000 There's no smoking gun evidence directly saying why, but it could be because it's right before the holiday season.

00:39:04.000 It's right during crunch time.

00:39:06.000 It's right when everyone is going to hope to have money to give their loved ones gifts.

00:39:12.000 So that's some of the speculation out there.

00:39:14.000 You're saying they want the system to crash?

00:39:17.000 I believe there is an element that will profit off of the system crashing and they're making protocols and restrictions and mandates that will create a situation that will put us there.

00:39:27.000 I do believe that is somewhat done deliberately by the, you know, special interests and powers that do set to gain from hurting everyone else.

00:39:36.000 That's part of why I can't stand tradition, man.

00:39:39.000 People feel locked into this Thanksgiving-Christmas thing when you could be celebrating with your family anytime.

00:39:43.000 Do it now before...

00:39:45.000 Before the junk hits the fan.

00:39:46.000 I don't think people feel locked in.

00:39:47.000 People in cities don't.

00:39:48.000 They have Friendsgiving, just like they hang out.

00:39:50.000 I love that.

00:39:50.000 Yeah.

00:39:51.000 And then there are families that have Thanksgiving.

00:39:52.000 Businesses, like, give people time off on these certain days every year.

00:39:56.000 So it's like you kind of have to live your life around those days if you're in that environment.

00:40:00.000 And that can become very dangerous.

00:40:02.000 Centralizing your time is very dangerous.

00:40:03.000 Well, I'm not a fan of the holidays because people stop working.

00:40:06.000 Yeah, how dare they?

00:40:06.000 And then, you know, and look, the way the economy works is if other people stop working, I can't work either.

00:40:11.000 Yeah.

00:40:11.000 Because there's only so much, so on, you know, on holidays, we basically are just taking time off now.

00:40:15.000 And I never, I didn't, I didn't used to do this.

00:40:17.000 But it really is working on the holidays, like trying to lift 10 times the weight you normally lift.

00:40:22.000 Yeah.

00:40:23.000 Boeing also announced that all employees quote must be vaccinated by December 8th as well.

00:40:29.000 Many other corporations are doing this as well.

00:40:31.000 But this is all because they're allegedly Biden's federal contractors.

00:40:36.000 And this is how again, they're making it so just weird with their mandates with their quote, alleged executive orders, that it's very hard to follow a lot of this.

00:40:46.000 It's not very simple.

00:40:47.000 I think it's meant to confuse a lot of people.

00:40:49.000 It's meant to scare people.

00:40:51.000 I think there's a big agenda to make people feel alone, to make them feel scared, to make them feel like resistance is futile when in many instances it's not.

00:41:00.000 All right.

00:41:00.000 Well, well, my friends, my friends, listen, heed my words.

00:41:04.000 We're going to build back better, baby, because we got breaking news.

00:41:07.000 This is amazing.

00:41:08.000 4.3 million Americans quit their jobs in August, a new record.

00:41:13.000 Great resignation trend continues as job market upended by pandemic.

00:41:18.000 Wow.

00:41:19.000 This is amazing news.

00:41:20.000 Let's get a round of let's go, Brandon, everybody.

00:41:22.000 Let's go, Brandon.

00:41:24.000 Great.

00:41:25.000 Thank you, Joe Biden.

00:41:26.000 Let's go, Brandon, for the mass resignations during a supply shortage, cargo ships being jammed up, trucker shortages, labor, food, gas prices skyrocketing.

00:41:37.000 Now 4.3 million people in August quit their jobs.

00:41:40.000 I wonder what the numbers for September are.

00:41:42.000 That's when the mandate was issued.

00:41:44.000 And it's also important to understand that, again, a lot of people here are putting themselves in a situation knowing that they're

00:41:53.000 going to lose everything and they're saying I might as well just get out of this

00:41:56.000 crazy situation if they're going to be enforcing this and move on and find another way, find another job.

00:42:01.000 So I wouldn't be surprised if most of those resignations, most of those people quitting

00:42:05.000 were from big companies who were mandating this and them saying

00:42:09.000 no I'm not going to go along with this and I need an out.

00:42:12.000 Now check this out.

00:42:13.000 They say approximately 4 million people per month have been leaving their jobs since the spring as part of a trend that has become known as the Great Resignation.

00:42:22.000 Under Joe Biden's presidency, for some reason, everybody's quitting their jobs.

00:42:28.000 Great.

00:42:28.000 That's amazing.

00:42:29.000 That's good.

00:42:30.000 It's a good thing.

00:42:31.000 It's almost like there's... It's a good thing.

00:42:33.000 Yeah, it's a good thing.

00:42:34.000 Yeah, the economy is being reset at a great level.

00:42:37.000 That's what it sounds like to me.

00:42:38.000 I was just going to say, having this many people resign in the course of a month, that sounds like a really big reset.

00:42:45.000 Resignation for the Reset Nation?

00:42:47.000 Exactly.

00:42:48.000 Yes, it does.

00:42:49.000 It's terrifying.

00:42:50.000 I wonder what's going to happen because People who are familiar with how supply chains work know how bottlenecks work, right?

00:42:59.000 If you get something that's constricting and slowing down.

00:43:02.000 So right now there's a lot of backlog at ports.

00:43:06.000 Suppose 5% of truckers Resign.

00:43:12.000 Because they don't want to get vaccinated.

00:43:14.000 And suppose 5% of ship captains resign.

00:43:18.000 And suppose 5% of, say, warehouse workers resign.

00:43:24.000 That's a lot more friction on an already stressed system.

00:43:27.000 That bottleneck is going to back up in a real hurry.

00:43:30.000 And the question is going to be, what's it going to take to be able to get out?

00:43:34.000 These vaccine mandates, if they are the cause of these resignations, this is going to hit supply chain stuff, and that supply chain stuff is going to get way worse before it gets better.

00:43:44.000 And the question becomes, at a certain point, how do you even unload those ports?

00:43:48.000 What are you going to do?

00:43:50.000 Well, Walmart, Home Depot, these stores are all chartering private boats now.

00:43:55.000 It's really, really amazing.

00:43:57.000 I mean, look, 2020 was bad, right?

00:44:00.000 And we can say Donald Trump did a good job in 2019, it was a great economy.

00:44:03.000 2020, COVID hits, and then things aren't so good.

00:44:05.000 But we're supposed to be recovering.

00:44:07.000 Joe Biden has turned what is supposed to be a rapid resurgence, as we reopen, into a complete, complete catastrophe.

00:44:15.000 Yeah, and to be fair, we love to just throw it at Joe Biden because he's the president,

00:44:20.000 but it's his administration. Every single one of them involved.

00:44:22.000 If he promises something, he should be held accountable for it. He also promised the COVID

00:44:26.000 numbers to go down. They've been going up dramatically with more intervention,

00:44:30.000 more governments getting involved. And again, even when it comes to the ports,

00:44:35.000 there's so many things to unwind there because in the mainstream media, like we saw in this

00:44:40.000 article by the Independent, this is all pandemic related.

00:44:44.000 Job loss, economic suffering, inequalities, this is all pandemic. This is all because of

00:44:48.000 the sickness. No, it's not.

00:44:49.000 It's because of the government.

00:44:51.000 It's because of big fat cat bureaucrats intervening, making the situation that much worse, and not really helping anyone out.

00:44:57.000 Especially when you look at the scientific data, and you see direct intervention, mandates, restrictions, lockdowns, and you see places that didn't follow it.

00:45:05.000 You look at the cases, you look at the numbers, the hospitalizations, the deaths.

00:45:08.000 There's not a big difference there at all.

00:45:11.000 And some would argue that the situation has been exacerbated to its fullest extent with the ports.

00:45:17.000 There's there's literal ships that are ready to dock.

00:45:20.000 They can't because one of their workers tested sick.

00:45:23.000 What do many of these boats have to do? 0.80

00:45:25.000 They can't just wait it out.

00:45:26.000 They have to go back to their country of origin where they started from. 1.00

00:45:30.000 So we're talking about ships that were in the Philippines that are in California have to go back to the to the Philippines.

00:45:36.000 There's labor unions a part of these.

00:45:39.000 Trade routes that are saying, please stop with these ridiculous lockdowns, with these ridiculous restrictions.

00:45:45.000 They make absolutely no sense at all.

00:45:46.000 The laws that you guys have implemented here are absolutely backwards.

00:45:50.000 Meanwhile, you have the southern border wide open.

00:45:52.000 But if you come into the United States, you need a negative test.

00:45:55.000 The word quarantine actually comes from, it's Italian, from the 1660s.

00:46:00.000 A ship suspected of carrying contagious disease would have to wait in port for 40 days.

00:46:04.000 The quarantine.

00:46:06.000 Oh, interesting.

00:46:07.000 Yeah.

00:46:08.000 You guys ever see the episode of Seinfeld where George Costanza decides to do the opposite of what he normally does?

00:46:12.000 Yes.

00:46:12.000 Fantastic.

00:46:13.000 It's almost like that's Joe Biden.

00:46:14.000 That's what we're trying.

00:46:16.000 He's like, do the opposite of whatever.

00:46:19.000 So everything goes wrong.

00:46:21.000 The ports are all backed up, but the border is wide open.

00:46:23.000 Drug cartels are smuggling drugs in, but we can't get our Christmas toys.

00:46:28.000 That's right.

00:46:29.000 Why?

00:46:31.000 The one thing that should be here can't, and the one thing that's not supposed to be here is!

00:46:35.000 Talk about a guy doing the opposite of what's supposed to be happening.

00:46:38.000 Hunter Biden is happy, though.

00:46:40.000 He's getting whatever he wants.

00:46:41.000 So again, we talked about his approval numbers, and we said it's probably the Taliban, it's probably the cartel members that are the ones that are saying, we're very happy with what's happening right now. 0.58

00:46:52.000 Because everyone else is just looking around and I think a lot of people are ashamed that they even voted for Biden.

00:46:57.000 I'm not seeing anyone support Joe Biden.

00:46:59.000 I'm not seeing anyone make any defenses except for sellouts who get hired to do it.

00:47:05.000 Whether it's influencers, actors, they're the only ones publicly supporting them.

00:47:09.000 They're having a hard time even pulling that off.

00:47:11.000 It's punk rock again!

00:47:12.000 Now that Joe Biden's approval rating is in the gutter, it is once again punk rock to oppose Joe to support supportive to support Joe Biden. Yes,

00:47:22.000 because now most people don't like him.

00:47:24.000 So now that most people don't like him, I am, I actually like him. Oh, okay,

00:47:29.000 because I'm I'm punk rock. What do you like most about him?

00:47:32.000 His his eyes?

00:47:33.000 His beady eyes that barely barely are up.

00:47:37.000 Like his grubby little hands. Cheering for Biden is so mainstream.

00:47:45.000 It was!

00:47:45.000 It was for a long time.

00:47:46.000 I wonder now what'll happen now that people are starting to hate him. 0.99

00:47:49.000 Will celebrities now be like, Joe Biden sucks? 0.91

00:47:52.000 The question for me is just looking at how the politics of this are shaping up. 0.97

00:47:59.000 Biden was brought in on a wave of anybody but Trump.

00:48:04.000 I wonder what is going to happen if Trump throws his hat back in the ring.

00:48:08.000 I don't know what Trump is going to do, but suppose Trump throws his hat back into the ring.

00:48:12.000 Now people are going to get to say, okay, Trump can run on his record and Joe Biden is going to run on his record.

00:48:19.000 And I wonder what that looks like.

00:48:23.000 How, how, what, what media environment does that create?

00:48:27.000 What new levels of inauthenticity will the media reach?

00:48:31.000 What new levels of fakery will show up when you all of a sudden.

00:48:35.000 Cause when Biden was running, it was always, he was basically running on Obama's record.

00:48:40.000 I was Obama's vice president.

00:48:42.000 Therefore everyone goes, okay, well, how were the years during Obama?

00:48:45.000 Well, that, I guess maybe it wasn't the worst thing in the world and they hate Trump.

00:48:48.000 So fine.

00:48:49.000 They can pull the lever for Biden.

00:48:51.000 Now Biden has a track record.

00:48:53.000 Now people get to look at Biden and say, this is what we're going to vote for four more years of.

00:48:59.000 Now they'll take Trump?

00:49:00.000 Yeah.

00:49:01.000 We're seeing Trump support go up in a lot of key areas.

00:49:03.000 I want to correct you a little bit because Biden wasn't running.

00:49:05.000 The media was running for Biden and Biden was literally in a basement and they were keeping him there, making sure he wasn't out there to the general public.

00:49:13.000 So now the media is even questioning Biden and being like, wait, wait, wait, hold on.

00:49:19.000 What do we have on our hands here?

00:49:21.000 We have a president that doesn't even want to talk to us, that literally says he's going to get in trouble if he gives us a comment.

00:49:27.000 We're having record low ratings.

00:49:29.000 We're shilling for a guy that literally doesn't even know what's going on, doesn't even know where he is, that literally created one of the worst disasters in geopolitical history with Afghanistan. 0.86

00:49:41.000 And they're looking around at the utter chaos and devastation.

00:49:44.000 And I think even a lot of people in the media are going to have a very hard time shilling for him again in 2024.

00:49:50.000 And I don't think he's going to be running.

00:49:51.000 I think he's not going to be the candidate.

00:49:54.000 It's impossible with the havoc that he is wrecking on the American people.

00:49:57.000 It'd be too good.

00:49:59.000 It would be too good for the Republicans and for the anti-establishment.

00:50:05.000 So they need to pull him out and then get some kind of do-over with... I don't know.

00:50:10.000 Honestly, I don't even know who to name.

00:50:12.000 Who is there?

00:50:12.000 Kamala Harris.

00:50:13.000 No way.

00:50:14.000 No one likes her. 0.99

00:50:15.000 She's worse than Hillary. 1.00

00:50:16.000 Yeah, she's like Hillary, but worse. 1.00

00:50:18.000 No one likes her. 0.99

00:50:19.000 I guess some people like Biden.

00:50:21.000 Who likes Biden?

00:50:22.000 I guess like 13% of the population.

00:50:26.000 Hold on there a minute.

00:50:26.000 Let me ask you a question.

00:50:28.000 If someone came to you and told you that they liked, say, Giordano's Deep Dish Pizza, it's good, right?

00:50:33.000 Now I'm listening, yeah.

00:50:34.000 But what if you then asked them, when was the last time they had it, and they said, oh, I've never actually had it?

00:50:39.000 Would you believe them?

00:50:41.000 No, I would prefer not to hang out with that person.

00:50:42.000 But you'd be like, how could you say you like Giordano's Deep Dish Pizza if you've never actually had it?

00:50:46.000 Oh, I think I know people like that, where they're like, you like that?

00:50:48.000 They're like, yeah, yeah.

00:50:49.000 Exactly, exactly.

00:50:49.000 Why did I lie?

00:50:50.000 So when you say some people like Biden, I'm like, you're correct.

00:50:53.000 But it's just like that.

00:50:54.000 They don't know anything about him.

00:50:55.000 They haven't followed the news.

00:50:56.000 They don't know or care.

00:50:57.000 It's just, Yeah, oh yeah, like, you know, whatever.

00:51:00.000 He is not Trump.

00:51:02.000 And we just pull out the old postmodern analysis of Joe Biden and say, they're not voting for Biden, they're voting for the symbol of what Biden represents.

00:51:10.000 They're voting for the media-created image of what Biden would be if he was actually in charge and running things.

00:51:17.000 We need a comic about this.

00:51:19.000 Where, like, there's the media's version of Joe Biden.

00:51:22.000 Have you ever seen Ben Garrison's version of Trump?

00:51:24.000 I love it.

00:51:25.000 He's like ripped and he's got a strong chest and broad shoulders.

00:51:30.000 Yeah, come on, please.

00:51:31.000 Glorious.

00:51:32.000 And I still voted for the guy, but I recognize that's not Trump. 0.99

00:51:35.000 Trump walks like a duck and he's overweight.

00:51:37.000 He's been doing better. 0.96

00:51:38.000 Yeah, he seems great.

00:51:39.000 But I would love a comic of the media's version of Joe Biden.

00:51:43.000 Like, the Joe Biden that exists in the hearts and minds of the most zealot Democrats, he's like ripped and chiseled with his aviator sunglasses and a leather jacket and he's in a convertible and he's like, get in loser, we're saving America!

00:51:54.000 And they're like, yay!

00:51:55.000 When in reality, he's like, he can't speak and he touches kids.

00:51:59.000 Yeah.

00:51:59.000 Well, didn't they do a magazine cover where he was wearing his super cool aviators and everyone was just like, what is this?

00:52:06.000 Like, we all see this feeble, decrepit old man and you guys are trying to tell us that he's some kind of superhero.

00:52:11.000 But Barack Obama was right when he said you should never underestimate Joe Biden's ability to mess things up.

00:52:18.000 I love, I love, I love the people who are like, remember Obama's only scandal was a tan suit.

00:52:24.000 And there are people who are just like, it's like the pizza thing.

00:52:26.000 The people who are just like, they'll say, yes, I like whatever you say.

00:52:30.000 So they all laugh along and go, yeah, tan suit.

00:52:32.000 And then I'm just like, you remember when Obama killed that kid, that American kid in a civilian restaurant in Yemen?

00:52:38.000 Like, and other civilians?

00:52:40.000 Yeah.

00:52:40.000 Don't want to talk about scandals.

00:52:42.000 Operation Fast and Furious, the spying scandal, NSA scandal.

00:52:47.000 Spying on Merkel, man!

00:52:48.000 The Espionage Act?

00:52:49.000 journalist and whistleblowers more than any other president before him with this one particular law

00:52:55.000 I forgot the name of it the espionage act the espionage act he's been more than all other

00:52:58.000 presidents combined exactly so like there's so many things to talk about the Biden presidency

00:53:04.000 and a lot of people have said that a Biden presidency is a continuation of an Obama presidency

00:53:13.000 and there might be some merit to that but this would be kind of an unmasked Obama push that

00:53:20.000 literally is just the perfect representation of everything globalists ever wanted in the

00:53:25.000 It's their epitome of their wet dream when it comes to, when you see what they're able to achieve, A lot of people are saying, oh, it was just a mistake.

00:53:32.000 Oh, this is, you know, there's just an accident.

00:53:35.000 I think when you're at that high level of government, I think when you have that much money, that much power, I think they play things off as accidents and mistakes, when in reality, a lot of this stuff was deliberate.

00:53:47.000 And when you look at whose interest it serves, who it helps, it's usually the people backing these individuals.

00:53:53.000 It's usually the dark money.

00:53:54.000 It's usually a lot of the people that are behind the scenes that usually are very influential in governments, but they're the ones that don't get voted on.

00:54:02.000 They don't get elected, but they're still there.

00:54:04.000 The bureaucratic state.

00:54:05.000 Exactly.

00:54:11.000 There's a comic book where they made a comic of Hillary Clinton.

00:54:14.000 Oh my gosh, yeah.

00:54:15.000 Oh no.

00:54:16.000 I forgot about this.

00:54:17.000 Yeah, they did.

00:54:18.000 The superhero we didn't know we needed.

00:54:19.000 Yeah.

00:54:20.000 Oh, Evil Villain Hillary contest. 1.00

00:54:22.000 We knew we didn't want.

00:54:23.000 Yeah, we knew we didn't want her.

00:54:25.000 We don't deserve or need.

00:54:27.000 Let me pull up the story from TimCast.com.

00:54:30.000 You may have heard the news.

00:54:30.000 Governor Abbott bars vaccine mandates in Texas.

00:54:33.000 The state's legislature previously banned local governments and school districts from requiring vaccines or masks.

00:54:38.000 This is big.

00:54:39.000 It's that simple.

00:54:41.000 Now, Joe Biden's executive order for the OSHA rule, 100 employees or more, it doesn't exist.

00:54:49.000 It was just a press conference.

00:54:50.000 It's not there.

00:54:51.000 There's no executive order on the books, and OSHA has not implemented this rule.

00:54:55.000 However, Abbott is saying, in Texas, you cannot have vaccine mandates.

00:55:00.000 Southwest is based in Dallas.

00:55:03.000 So what are they going to do?

00:55:03.000 Are they going to now... If they do this, they're going to get fined, I guess, per employee or however it worked, $1,000.

00:55:10.000 But think about this.

00:55:12.000 What happens if OSHA does drop this rule?

00:55:14.000 Let's say you're a business in Texas, and you're told by the governor, if you mandate vaccines for your employees or customers, we will fine you $1,000 per infraction.

00:55:23.000 But then you get the Fed saying, if you don't, we will fine you way more per infraction.

00:55:29.000 So do you think this is why the Southwest CEO is saying what he's saying about not liking vaccine mandates or mask mandates or whatever?

00:55:37.000 He can't do anything about it.

00:55:39.000 I mean, you got this.

00:55:40.000 I just got to slow down.

00:55:42.000 Pick a side.

00:55:43.000 That's where we're at.

00:55:44.000 Pick a side.

00:55:45.000 Yeah, that's what bothers me.

00:55:46.000 This is an example of fighting authoritarianism with authoritarianism.

00:55:50.000 What Abbott did, I think, is a step too far.

00:55:52.000 He basically mandated that no one can authorize vaccines.

00:55:57.000 He's telling the private companies.

00:56:00.000 So the federal government said, everyone has to do it.

00:56:02.000 Then Abbott came in and said, no one's allowed to do it.

00:56:05.000 And you know why?

00:56:06.000 There's already a law in the book saying you can't discriminate for medical reasons.

00:56:09.000 So what he should have said is, you don't have to listen to the federal government.

00:56:12.000 You can do whatever you want.

00:56:13.000 No, the mandate specifically says that individuals are allowed exemptions for religious, personal conscience, or medical reasons.

00:56:21.000 So this is what's effectively shutting down the vaccine mandates, that people can just choose not to get them due to personal conscience.

00:56:27.000 There's already laws in the book saying you can't discriminate for medical or religious reasons.

00:56:31.000 As far as I can tell, and correct me if I'm wrong, Abbott's telling every private company in Texas that they're not allowed to mandate vaccines now.

00:56:38.000 Should they be allowed to ban people if they're black? 1.00

00:56:42.000 I don't know, I don't think so.

00:56:43.000 Why?

00:56:43.000 Or if they're in a wheelchair.

00:56:44.000 Civil rights law?

00:56:45.000 Yeah, or if they're in a wheelchair.

00:56:46.000 Should they be allowed to ban wheelchairs? 1.00

00:56:48.000 Or people with AIDS or cancer?

00:56:50.000 Well, it depends on the job.

00:56:51.000 Certain things require certain amounts of activity, so if you need someone to climb ladders, you can't hire someone in wheelchairs. 1.00

00:56:56.000 But that's a form of discrimination.

00:56:59.000 So if you need somebody to work in a grocery store, and there are jobs that can be done in a grocery store that someone in a wheelchair can do, should they be allowed to say no wheelchairs allowed?

00:57:11.000 What about a Muslim person? 0.59

00:57:12.000 Should they be able to be like, no, no, no, get that Muslim stuff out of here. 1.00

00:57:15.000 I think that violates civil rights.

00:57:17.000 Yes, and there's also the ADA, the Americans with Disabilities Act.

00:57:21.000 So now you've got medical reasons, and we shouldn't have to present our papers to the store to prove... Should a person who's got some kind of... Should someone have to go and prove that they're the right race? 0.93

00:57:35.000 And they say, oh, you know, I'm not firing you because of your race, because you, I don't even know if that's your real race.

00:57:39.000 Should they have to go then go pull up lineage?

00:57:41.000 No, you don't got to prove it.

00:57:42.000 We just make the case when we complain.

00:57:44.000 The point is, I agree to a certain extent Abbott should, we shouldn't have rule by decree.

00:57:50.000 However, these are different situations.

00:57:52.000 If the law already states you can't discriminate for religious reasons and medical reasons, and it does, Case closed. 0.65

00:57:59.000 If someone says it is against my deeply held moral and spiritual and religious or whatever beliefs, they should be left out.

00:58:06.000 Yeah, but you don't have to hire someone with leprosy if they come in there.

00:58:08.000 That's different.

00:58:09.000 What's different about it?

00:58:10.000 I mean, come on, bro.

00:58:11.000 I mean, it's different to me and you because we pay attention, but...

00:58:14.000 You know, in the mind of a business owner, who's who's the governor to say who they can and can't?

00:58:19.000 That's a different question, because in one case, you're asking about somebody who already has a disease.

00:58:23.000 In the second case, you're asking about not whether someone has a disease, but whether or not they've been vaccinated, not whether or not they're sick.

00:58:31.000 So in the case of the leprosy thing, you'd say, well, you already have it.

00:58:34.000 You can give it to somebody.

00:58:36.000 Whereas in the case of the vaccine thing, do you have covid?

00:58:39.000 No, I don't have covid.

00:58:40.000 Not too bad.

00:58:41.000 Why?

00:58:41.000 Because you're not vaccinated.

00:58:43.000 Right?

00:58:44.000 That's the separation point.

00:58:47.000 What I would ask is whether or not, for all the people who are pushing the COVID thing, Could a bar owner say, nobody with STDs is allowed to come to ladies night.

00:58:58.000 We want couples to get together.

00:59:00.000 And you gotta bring your papers.

00:59:02.000 That's right.

00:59:02.000 Bring a negative test.

00:59:04.000 You have to disclose to us your HIV status.

00:59:06.000 Would people be comfortable with that?

00:59:08.000 Of course they wouldn't.

00:59:09.000 Or would people be comfortable saying, look, you have to have your vaccine for Hep C before you can come in.

00:59:15.000 Would people be comfortable with that?

00:59:17.000 For me, the question is, how far can these things get pushed?

00:59:23.000 And I understand Vax Passports, I understand why people want them, but the question that no one has been able to ask, to answer for me is, where is the hard and fast line that it stops?

00:59:38.000 No one's been able to give me an answer to that, and that's why I'm so skeptical of them.

00:59:41.000 Let's add another element here.

00:59:42.000 Let's talk about this, you know, vaccine that stops STDs.

00:59:46.000 The vaccine that stops this hypothetical that we're talking about doesn't stop STDs.

00:59:50.000 It doesn't prevent the spread of STDs.

00:59:52.000 It doesn't stop people from having STDs as well, on top of all of this, which people need to understand the greater point here.

00:59:58.000 So, you know, there's so many different ways that people could take this.

01:00:02.000 If we're starting to discriminate against people because of their medical personal choices and decisions, you know, let's first discuss that.

01:00:10.000 And even on those merits, whether the, you know, the effectiveness of the vaccine, the transmission of the vaccine, Natural immunity.

01:00:17.000 I think that conversation needs to happen in its first place.

01:00:19.000 The second thing is, no one should be telling me what to do.

01:00:22.000 A government shouldn't be controlling every aspect of my existence because if they could do this with the vaccine, they could do this with almost every other aspect of our existence.

01:00:30.000 And Abbott's basically telling business owners what to do.

01:00:33.000 He's saying you cannot... He signed an executive order saying that vaccine mandates are not allowed by any entity.

01:00:40.000 Right.

01:00:40.000 So it's a form of authoritarianism now.

01:00:42.000 Maybe he did the right thing.

01:00:43.000 I disagree because he's standing up for people's civil rights.

01:00:46.000 He's standing up for people's personal decisions.

01:00:49.000 He's standing up to the current kind of HIPAA laws that are out there that says that people can't be discriminated against and have to divulge their medical history anytime.

01:00:56.000 That stuff's already evident.

01:00:58.000 He doesn't need to mandate civil rights to people.

01:01:01.000 He just needs to protect them from the federal government's overreach.

01:01:04.000 Southwest is literally violating social norms and law.

01:01:11.000 This is really interesting because we did have this conversation before.

01:01:20.000 It may have been with Michael Malice.

01:01:22.000 The argument you're making is the argument that was made by conservatives.

01:01:26.000 Maybe conservative isn't the right word, but it was made by the Democrats to stop civil rights.

01:01:30.000 They said the government should not have the authority to mandate a private business, you know, not discriminate.

01:01:35.000 They can serve wherever they want.

01:01:36.000 If someone doesn't want to work there or someone doesn't want to go there, they don't have to go there.

01:01:38.000 That was always the argument.

01:01:40.000 Then you had the social, you know, people fighting for civil rights, specifically saying, public accommodations are shared by all.

01:01:48.000 If we're all paying taxes into it, then we should all be able to utilize these services.

01:01:52.000 My view of it is, if there is limited space in the commons, And there is a building occupying space in that commons and my tax dollars go towards infrastructure, plumbing, fire, department, EMS, and all that.

01:02:03.000 They should not be allowed to discriminate against me or anybody else on specific grounds that of course we need to sort through an outline.

01:02:09.000 Now we have outlines, many of them, religious reasons.

01:02:12.000 You can't put up a sign saying no Muslims allowed.

01:02:15.000 You can't mandate that people eat bacon to enter your store.

01:02:18.000 Because that would very seriously... someone walking... I mean, maybe you can, but then if someone who was Muslim walked up and they said, do it, you'd be like, you can't do that. 1.00

01:02:25.000 That's discrimination on the basis of my religion, and you'd probably get in trouble.

01:02:28.000 There's a guy who went to jail for throwing bacon at a mosque.

01:02:31.000 So right now, Abbott is basically saying, these mandates just violate so many of our non-discrimination laws.

01:02:39.000 You can't do this.

01:02:39.000 Public accommodation is for all.

01:02:42.000 If we are paying taxes into it, we are a community.

01:02:44.000 To maintain social cohesion, you cannot restrict access to someone on the basis of their medical reasons or religious reasons or personal moral conscious reasons.

01:02:53.000 Now it's tough, it is.

01:02:54.000 Because personal moral conscience is a broad term.

01:02:57.000 But he said that in his executive order because it's basically about religion.

01:03:01.000 There's a lot of people who are saying, oh but the Pope said you can get the vaccine even though they use fetal cells to make it in the testing process and it's other vaccines.

01:03:08.000 They literally use it and they use it in testing for a bunch of other medicines.

01:03:10.000 The Pope says it's fine.

01:03:12.000 Well, I don't care what the Pope thinks.

01:03:13.000 And I'm sure there's a whole lot of other Catholics who don't care that the Pope has said that.

01:03:16.000 They're like, no, that goes against our religious values.

01:03:20.000 So if we already have the laws in the books, then him simply saying, hey guys, I am reinforcing that you cannot discriminate.

01:03:28.000 So I guess we're all in agreement that sometimes authoritarianism is necessary and good?

01:03:32.000 Well, that's what Abbott just did.

01:03:35.000 Hold on there a minute.

01:03:36.000 You mean decades of civil rights work to get laws put on the books through legislation and elected representatives who then voted on it is authoritarianism?

01:03:43.000 No, I'm saying him making a decree like this is authoritarianism.

01:03:45.000 Making a decree to reinstate, to reaffirm what is already law.

01:03:49.000 Just like desegregating schools.

01:03:51.000 That was authoritarianism.

01:03:52.000 You can see how it works sometimes.

01:03:54.000 Desegregating schools was the part of a long process that resulted in a republic having a vote on an issue.

01:04:00.000 So, authoritarianism was when everyone just falls in line and adheres to the authority, like the woke cult.

01:04:05.000 When people have strong objections and disagreements, and then we say, hey, we all have finally agreed, this is the line, you have to, you can't discriminate.

01:04:15.000 And it was through a democratic, representative process.

01:04:21.000 Sure, you can argue that people are, oh no, they have to adhere to the authority of the state because we all agreed to it, but there's a big difference between we fought long and hard, we won over hearts and minds, we got our elected representatives put in office, they voted for it, then the Supreme Court upheld it, and now we're at a point where the governor is saying, guys, the law is clear, you can't do this.

01:04:41.000 I am not going to allow you to because as the head of the executive branch of my state, I am here to enforce the laws that already exist.

01:04:46.000 That's not authoritarianism.

01:04:48.000 Joe Biden issuing an edict where he convinces people there's a law in the books when there isn't, and they all start following him.

01:04:53.000 That's authoritarianism.

01:04:55.000 It's both.

01:04:55.000 It's just two governors making declarations about what to do, telling people what they can and can't do.

01:05:01.000 Wait, wait.

01:05:03.000 Is your objection that it was made by the governor and not by the state legislature?

01:05:06.000 Definitely.

01:05:07.000 Okay.

01:05:07.000 Firstly.

01:05:08.000 And secondly, I don't like the government telling private companies what they can and can't do.

01:05:13.000 I'm very nervous and reticent about that kind of thing.

01:05:15.000 So I noticed it when it happened.

01:05:17.000 I don't think this is authoritarianism, Ian.

01:05:20.000 I think this is simply him reinforcing the fact that we have civil rights, and that no one should have the right to require someone to get a medical procedure if they don't want it.

01:05:30.000 This has always been the case.

01:05:31.000 This is just him reminding everyone that this is the case, and he's not even necessarily putting anything new into effect.

01:05:38.000 Am I wrong?

01:05:38.000 Let me ask another question.

01:05:39.000 If a bunch of businesses in Texas started banning black people, and then he issued an executive order saying the banning of black people is prohibited, would you call that authoritarianism?

01:05:47.000 Yeah.

01:05:48.000 But there's already a law in the book through a democratic process.

01:05:51.000 Skin color is different than disease.

01:05:54.000 You know, you can suspend habeas corpus in times of great disease.

01:05:58.000 I mean, you maybe can, as obviously you can, but... I don't think it's not about disease, it's about vaccination.

01:06:05.000 If this was about, if There's nothing in there that prevents a company from saying, we'd like you to take a rapid antigen COVID test before you enter our business or present a rapid antigen COVID test.

01:06:16.000 We don't want anyone with COVID.

01:06:17.000 But that's not what that's about.

01:06:19.000 This is about vaccination, not disease.

01:06:21.000 And I think there's a dividing line there.

01:06:23.000 If a business wants to say, look, we're only going to have people come in who have tested negative for COVID, I would say, All right.

01:06:29.000 Well, if you want to make everyone take an antigen test before they come in or present an antigen test, I guess you want to do that.

01:06:34.000 That's fine.

01:06:35.000 But there's a difference between saying you have to give us an antigen test so that we know whether you have COVID or not.

01:06:41.000 We're keeping the COVID out, not you.

01:06:44.000 On the one hand, or on the other hand, say, Only if you're vaccinated.

01:06:48.000 Because then, I mean, think of the absurdity that comes in.

01:06:50.000 The guy who says, I've tested negative for COVID, I don't have COVID, I can't go in.

01:06:54.000 Another guy says, I tested positive for COVID, but I'm vaxxed!

01:06:57.000 See you all there!

01:06:58.000 And many people who do take the vaccine do test positive.

01:07:00.000 Yeah, so someone with a breakthrough case can go in with COVID and cough all over everywhere because they're vaccinated.

01:07:05.000 And someone who's not sick doesn't have COVID and has tested negative can't go in because he's not vaccinated.

01:07:10.000 Right.

01:07:11.000 This is not about disease.

01:07:12.000 It's about using the withdrawal of the ability to use services as a cudgel to beat people who aren't getting vaccinated.

01:07:20.000 And that's, I think, a difference.

01:07:21.000 And I want to break this down.

01:07:22.000 What we're seeing at the federal level with Biden and the Democrats versus Texas. 0.95

01:07:26.000 With Joe Biden on multiple occasions now, he said the legislature be damned.

01:07:31.000 I will exact executive decree on the eviction moratorium and now with the OSHA rule.

01:07:37.000 Those things need to go through Congress.

01:07:39.000 We also have the Supreme Court saying no to him with the eviction moratorium and him being like, don't care, I'll do it anyway.

01:07:46.000 And he did, and then Democrats cheered for it.

01:07:49.000 Abbot is saying, guys, there are laws in the book saying you can't do this, and I am obligated to enforce those.

01:07:54.000 I am telling you right now, this cannot be done as per existing law.

01:07:58.000 Florida's also doing a similar thing.

01:08:00.000 Florida's doing a similar thing, saying you can't discriminate against someone, you can't force them to do this.

01:08:05.000 Especially if they have religious exemptions.

01:08:07.000 A judge in New York just upheld religious exemptions for healthcare workers.

01:08:13.000 So legalese, right now this is being decided in the high courts and a lot of people are siding with you have a right not to comply with this mandate that they're trying to force on you.

01:08:26.000 And this is something that's, you know, imperative.

01:08:28.000 This is something that's important.

01:08:29.000 This is something that provides people liberties and freedoms that, historically, throughout life, they never really had, ever.

01:08:36.000 And now, they're finally given this ability that's slowly being eradicated, slowly being taken away from them, and people are saying, no, this is just absolutely ridiculous, this is over the top, this is draconian, this is totalitarian, and people trying to stand up against it are not using that same kind of force and energy They're trying to stop a lot of that intrusion into our personal lives.

01:09:00.000 We have the story from Gothamist actually.

01:09:02.000 Courts side with New York health care workers seeking religious exemptions reject vaccine appeal by NYC teachers.

01:09:09.000 They report that New York can't stop hospital and nursing home workers from seeking religious exemptions to the state's COVID-19 vaccine mandate, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

01:09:18.000 Requiring workers to get vaccinated without allowing such exemptions conflicts with long-standing federal protections for religious beliefs.

01:09:24.000 Judge David Hurd of the U.S.

01:09:25.000 District Court of the Northern District of New York wrote in his decision, The policy requiring all hospital, nursing, nursing home, and home care staff to get vaccinated against COVID was initially issued under Cuomo.

01:09:34.000 We get the point.

01:09:35.000 Point is, the law already exists and it's clear.

01:09:37.000 You can't do that.

01:09:37.000 It's not authoritarian when we fought long and hard, had elected representatives vote on something.

01:09:41.000 That's literally a constitutional republic process.

01:09:45.000 Joe Biden being like, nah, I don't care.

01:09:47.000 Cuomo being like, so what?

01:09:48.000 Don't care.

01:09:49.000 Cuomo, with the law on the book saying you couldn't do this, said, I hereby decree.

01:09:53.000 That's authoritarianism.

01:09:56.000 Yeah, when you look at the implications of both of these policies, you clearly see one where you have government agents intruding into people's lives, punishing them, taking something away and issuing fines for not going through another hoop that they literally made up.

01:10:13.000 That hoop is a very important one.

01:10:15.000 It's a very big one, and it has a lot of big implications, because if the government could do this, people could argue, based on health policy, they could also do it to obese people and fat people, because of the same kind of health guidelines for the greater good of everyone.

01:10:28.000 You know Bloomberg wants to.

01:10:29.000 Exactly.

01:10:30.000 Do you guys think that vaccine mandates are unconstitutional across the board?

01:10:32.000 of everyone. It's literally the recipe for disaster all throughout human history and it's being repeated now by

01:10:39.000 individuals saying, yeah, you know, fighting back against it is futile. It's

01:10:43.000 bad as well. It's not.

01:10:44.000 Do you guys think that vaccine mandates are unconstitutional across the board?

01:10:48.000 No.

01:10:50.000 No.

01:10:50.000 What's an instance where it's not?

01:10:52.000 So there have been certain, there are certain circumstances where I think vaccines can be

01:10:57.000 mandated. But what you need to understand is that there's also a scale of acceptable risk.

01:11:02.000 Meaning if you've got an airborne Ebola with a 50% mortality rate, you're not gonna have to worry

01:11:07.000 about anything. People are gonna be panicking and begging to be a part of the vaccination program.

01:11:11.000 But we're dealing with COVID, which is serious and long COVID is serious.

01:11:15.000 And I don't know the exact percentages, but, you know, we don't want people to get sick and die.

01:11:19.000 At the same time, the rate for individuals healthy and under the age of 40 is substantially lower.

01:11:25.000 So we're dealing with a nuanced political circumstance.

01:11:27.000 That being said, there are some times, like in the military, for instance, they've mandated tons of vaccines.

01:11:33.000 The difference here with COVID is that it's new.

01:11:36.000 And, you know, I talked about this quite a bit.

01:11:38.000 When you join the military, you know, when you're in basic training, they give you a whole bunch of vaccines.

01:11:42.000 You can require certain vaccines for travel, for certain work, right?

01:11:45.000 So when I was traveling to, like, Venezuela and Egypt, yellow fever vaccination is a requirement.

01:11:50.000 Because it was an insurance requirement.

01:11:53.000 And this is different.

01:11:53.000 This is the company saying, we're not firing you, we're just telling you, like, if you want to be the guy who gets to go to Venezuela, like, yo, you gotta get a yellow fever shot.

01:12:01.000 And so I did.

01:12:02.000 And I went to the doctor and he gave me the shot.

01:12:03.000 And it was, I think the yellow fever one hurt.

01:12:05.000 No, it wasn't the yellow fever one.

01:12:06.000 I don't know.

01:12:07.000 One of them goes in your skin. 0.99

01:12:08.000 It sucks. 0.98

01:12:09.000 That I understand. 0.99

01:12:09.000 Subcutaneous. 0.99

01:12:10.000 But if you're going to say a public accommodation, buying a sandwich on a street that you are obligated to pay for, right?

01:12:20.000 We all know how Luke feels about taxation.

01:12:22.000 I think it's just for employees.

01:12:24.000 It's just for employees?

01:12:25.000 No, in New York, the mandates are you can't even go inside.

01:12:27.000 Same in Italy, yeah.

01:12:28.000 So that's the other thing, too.

01:12:29.000 Okay, let's talk about employers.

01:12:31.000 First of all, for a regular person, it shouldn't be allowed.

01:12:33.000 But let's talk about healthcare workers seeking religious exemptions.

01:12:36.000 You know, these hospitals receive public funding.

01:12:38.000 That's my understanding, right?

01:12:39.000 They're on public streets.

01:12:40.000 So you're telling me I have to pay for it?

01:12:42.000 And then you're banning me from using it because of my religion?

01:12:45.000 No, we already have a law saying you can't discriminate on the basis of religion.

01:12:48.000 Now, there's reasonable exemptions to that.

01:12:51.000 Like, if you believe in sacrificing goats, they're not gonna let you do it in public.

01:12:53.000 in the middle of the street. 0.99

01:12:54.000 And 50% Ebola death, then damn your religion and take it anyway. 0.99

01:12:58.000 See, the difference there is when we're dealing with issues of like. 0.97

01:13:05.000 Viruses that aren't all identical.

01:13:08.000 People have different expectations for the risks they're facing.

01:13:11.000 With COVID, it is clear that there's a large percentage of people who don't

01:13:15.000 believe the risk is warrants a sacrifice of such great loss of freedoms.

01:13:20.000 When it came to the Civil War, people are like, Abraham Lincoln did a good thing in fighting the war.

01:13:26.000 Slavery needed to be ended.

01:13:27.000 There was a great moral injustice.

01:13:29.000 I've talked about this before.

01:13:32.000 We all are trying to figure out where the line is and what we're willing to accept when we take certain actions.

01:13:36.000 When it comes to an airborne Ebola, like people's insides are being liquefied, we're like, yo, we gotta do something about this.

01:13:44.000 And if you're looking at a 20% mortality rate and a vaccine that has like a 0.01% risk factor, most people are gonna be like, I'll take it.

01:13:52.000 But when you're dealing with, there's one report saying that the risk factor for a boy under 18, there's one study that came out saying the myocarditis was a higher percentage risk than getting COVID itself.

01:14:04.000 Some studies showing eight times higher.

01:14:06.000 I don't know if that one study is good enough to say definitively.

01:14:10.000 That's why I tell people go talk to a doctor and figure it out.

01:14:11.000 Talk to someone who knows better.

01:14:12.000 Many doctors, yeah.

01:14:13.000 Right, and get second opinions.

01:14:15.000 The point is, when it comes to issues of what we're willing to give up our freedoms for, there's some things I think most people recognize.

01:14:22.000 If an alien invasion happened, man, there's a really tough question about what we need to do to rally everyone together to survive.

01:14:29.000 If it's like, you know, a series of crimes and it's in one city, why should the people of New York mandate everyone in the country lose their right to bear arms because of the crimes in their city?

01:14:42.000 That's basically what's happening.

01:14:43.000 I think what's happening also is that There's a segment of people that are like, hey, COVID, we look at the numbers.

01:14:49.000 It doesn't look that that dangerous is what people are making it out to be.

01:14:52.000 So this seems like it's unconstitutional.

01:14:55.000 You've gone too far.

01:14:55.000 But then there's other people that won't leave their house because they're afraid for their life.

01:15:00.000 And so for Abbott to tell everyone in Texas, you can't mandate it, even though they might feel like afraid for their life, is where I was like, well, there's the authoritarian flag.

01:15:10.000 I'm not saying he's wrong.

01:15:11.000 I'm just saying, But I think you bring up a good point.

01:15:14.000 I think regardless of whether or not there's a severity to the disease, no one should have to give up their freedom for someone else's fear.

01:15:21.000 And that means even if there is an airborne Ebola, you can choose to go get vaccinated for it.

01:15:27.000 And other people who don't, well, then that's their issue, I suppose.

01:15:30.000 And we should be operating on a more, you know, liberty-minded and personal response.

01:15:34.000 We need personal responsibility and liberty, even in the face of something like an airborne Ebola.

01:15:38.000 Look, man, if there was an airborne Ebola, 50% mortality, people's insides were liquefying, I would go to the mountains.

01:15:45.000 Like, I'm not gonna go anywhere near the city.

01:15:46.000 I don't think that'll help you escape those kind of things.

01:15:48.000 If you ever watched The Stand, you would know.

01:15:50.000 Sure, sure, sure.

01:15:50.000 It's a movie.

01:15:51.000 In this instance, the risk is there.

01:15:53.000 We don't, you know, people who are over 40.

01:15:55.000 It's in the stratosphere.

01:15:56.000 With COVID, people over 40 are at higher risk.

01:15:59.000 People that are obese.

01:16:00.000 People that are obese, 30% hospitalizations.

01:16:01.000 Real talk here for a second.

01:16:03.000 So what do we do?

01:16:04.000 Do we just destroy everything?

01:16:06.000 I mean, the economy's in shambles.

01:16:07.000 People are going hungry.

01:16:08.000 People around the world are starving.

01:16:09.000 We're seeing massive ripple effects.

01:16:11.000 It's affecting everything.

01:16:13.000 Unless people want a great reset, I think at a certain point you need to recognize that we need to strip... Look, ultimately I'll say it like this.

01:16:19.000 You know what?

01:16:20.000 I do not support the vaccine mandates.

01:16:22.000 However, if there were a legislative body that voted And there were long-term studies, and then specific exemptions.

01:16:33.000 I'd be like, okay, well, it was done through an electoral process.

01:16:37.000 Having governors and the president just declare by edict, I'm like, no way!

01:16:41.000 Absolutely not.

01:16:42.000 When we talk about, you know, vaccines like for MMR at schools and stuff, I'm like, yeah, but these are vaccines that have been around, researched for decades.

01:16:50.000 They've been around for even longer than that.

01:16:52.000 A lot of these vaccines went through very serious and rigorous studies over seriously 20 to 30 years.

01:16:57.000 Now, when it comes to the COVID vaccine, Operation Warp Speed, it's one of the fastest projects ever done.

01:17:03.000 I don't think, personally, a lot of people think that there's like, you know, the vaccine is dangerous.

01:17:08.000 I don't think that.

01:17:09.000 I think, ultimately, my opinion is irrelevant because I'm not a doctor.

01:17:12.000 I just think people's medical choices are their own.

01:17:15.000 If people have a sincere medical religious belief, like imagine if, imagine if de Blasio said, you have to eat bacon.

01:17:21.000 Like, everybody must eat bacon right now.

01:17:24.000 Like, you'd have a whole lot of religious people being up in arms, like, you can't do that.

01:17:28.000 So there's a similar thing there.

01:17:29.000 I'll tell you this, though.

01:17:30.000 It is a fair point, absolutely, to say the lines between what we're willing to accept are different for everybody.

01:17:36.000 And there are some people who are staunchly libertarian, and even if there was an airborne zombie virus, would be like, you cannot force me to do anything, no matter what.

01:17:45.000 And there would be other people who were, like, seemingly libertarian before, now being like, at this point, lock everyone in their houses.

01:17:51.000 So I think everybody has their line, how much risk you're willing to assume.

01:17:55.000 It's a gradient scale, and to make laws as a white or a black or a yes or a no or a one or a zero, that's tough.

01:18:03.000 It should be a personal decision.

01:18:04.000 But when it comes to what Abbott is saying, like, I thought about this, I've said this before, I'm like, I don't like the idea that, you know, DeSantis was like, nobody can mandate masks.

01:18:13.000 And I'm like, well, that should go through the legislature, right?

01:18:16.000 However, You know, masks are different from the vaccine thing.

01:18:19.000 The mask thing, I think, is interesting.

01:18:21.000 If somebody wants to require a mask in their store, like, what's your justification for saying they can't require shirts, or they can't require shirts?

01:18:28.000 Vaccine's different.

01:18:29.000 It's an irreversible medical procedure.

01:18:31.000 And there are people with medical issues over the fetal cell use, and there are people with religious issues over the fetal cell use and medical issues that You can't force it.

01:18:41.000 I have religious problems with it, personally.

01:18:44.000 It violates everything I hold dear to my spirit.

01:18:48.000 I will not touch it.

01:18:50.000 I would never in a million years feel right taking a rushed vaccine with the evidence I have, and that is a religion. 1.00

01:18:56.000 That is my true belief in what I am.

01:18:59.000 So, I mean, I never define my religion, but that's how it feels.

01:19:02.000 So let's put it this way.

01:19:03.000 It's your conscience, yeah.

01:19:03.000 Do you think that you have a right to public accommodation in the commons?

01:19:06.000 No.

01:19:07.000 You don't think so?

01:19:08.000 Oh, in the commons?

01:19:09.000 I mean, yeah, yeah, through my tax dollars, yeah.

01:19:11.000 Right.

01:19:12.000 So do you think then Abbott saying, guys, this guy's paying taxes, you can't kick him out.

01:19:19.000 Is that authoritarianism?

01:19:23.000 Yeah, because if I start violating their semblance of normality and then he's like, you still can't get rid of them.

01:19:29.000 But this is, this is something you pay for with your taxes.

01:19:32.000 Yeah.

01:19:32.000 For them to tell you that you have no access to these spaces would be them stealing from you.

01:19:37.000 I guess I get access, but it's up to me to, to maintain dignity, to stay there.

01:19:42.000 Like if I pull my pants down, then, then.

01:19:44.000 Right.

01:19:45.000 So then I would say this.

01:19:47.000 The question that I have about the vaccine mandate is if they're going to say, well, you have to have a vaccine mandate.

01:19:52.000 Why don't them and come along and say, OK, you have a vaccine or a negative covid test.

01:19:57.000 And it's the lack of or a negative covid test that knocks it out for me, because if you said or a negative covid test, that would mean that the mandate was really about covid.

01:20:09.000 The fact that there's no or a negative COVID test means they're just wanting everyone to be vaccinated come hell or high water.

01:20:16.000 So again, this leaves us in the absurd scenario where someone who has COVID Right.

01:20:21.000 but is vaccinated can go into a restaurant and breathe as much as they want.

01:20:27.000 And someone who can prove that they don't have COVID is kicked out.

01:20:31.000 Right.

01:20:32.000 That's the absurdity that the Vax mandates and the Vax passport. 0.98

01:20:36.000 That's what gets me.

01:20:38.000 If you can say, or I mean, where I live, it's of you have to show Vax proof of vaccination

01:20:46.000 or a negative COVID test.

01:20:47.000 And the antigen COVID tests are going for like 200 bucks a pop.

01:20:52.000 Yeah.

01:20:53.000 People want them, but that you can do that.

01:20:55.000 You can say.

01:20:56.000 It's still.

01:20:57.000 There's still a problem there in that they're mandating at some universities, like, every three days.

01:21:03.000 Who's got the time to go and do that and spend that money?

01:21:06.000 So then people just go, fine, screw it, I'll do whatever you say.

01:21:09.000 And that's the problem.

01:21:10.000 So that's a good moral conundrum, though.

01:21:14.000 The Ebola thing, like, what, everyone's rights be damned if the virus is severe enough?

01:21:19.000 Perhaps.

01:21:19.000 And then the issue is, you're right, the Democrats are terrified.

01:21:23.000 They're shaking.

01:21:23.000 And then they really are.

01:21:24.000 We look at the polls.

01:21:25.000 Look at what happened when we invited Hasan Piker on the show.

01:21:28.000 And he was like, I'm totally down, I'll do it.

01:21:30.000 And then he was like, yo, I'm kind of worried about COVID.

01:21:33.000 We have people here all the time who are kind of like, we wash our hands, we use hand sanitizer, we take precautions, we clean everything.

01:21:40.000 I think we're actually socially distanced right now.

01:21:42.000 We are.

01:21:42.000 Yeah, I think so.

01:21:43.000 We're probably socially distanced at this table.

01:21:46.000 But we have to live our lives, man.

01:21:48.000 So, no disrespect to Asan, he's genuinely concerned about this, but his concern is several orders of magnitude more than ours.

01:21:55.000 You know what I mean?

01:21:56.000 So then, if he's gonna vote for what he wants, lockdowns, and we're gonna refuse that, I don't know.

01:22:03.000 And maybe the real simple solution is if you're scared, you stay home.

01:22:06.000 You know, the beauty of the United States is that each state is a, is an experiment.

01:22:11.000 And this is an opportunity to watch it happen in Texas and see if that, if I, maybe, maybe I'm misusing authoritarianism.

01:22:18.000 I know it's not an extreme authoritative thing, what he did, but this is an opportunity to see if what he's doing works.

01:22:23.000 I mean the experiment was there in Sweden, it was there in Florida, it was there in many places around the world that said we're not going to be playing ball.

01:22:30.000 There's a lot of other experiments right now happening in places like Norway.

01:22:33.000 Just released a lot of their restrictions, their lockdowns, their mandates, masks, all of that.

01:22:38.000 Their case numbers went down.

01:22:39.000 So there's so many examples of experiments.

01:22:43.000 I always said from the beginning of this, Sweden's going to be the true test of this. 0.61

01:22:46.000 Because if you remember, They were saying that Sweden's going to end up in a bloodbath.

01:22:50.000 There's going to be bodies stacking on top of bodies. 0.65

01:22:53.000 There's going to be a massacre of unprecedented proportions.

01:22:56.000 Everyone's going to die in Sweden because somehow Sweden's not following along with the programming.

01:23:02.000 They're not going along what they're told to do by the World Economic Forum, by the World Health Organization, by a lot of these quote experts.

01:23:10.000 And look what happened to Sweden.

01:23:12.000 Look at their numbers.

01:23:12.000 Compare their numbers to the states that locked down the most.

01:23:15.000 Compare their numbers to Israel and Singapore and you will truly have your eyes opened wide by the disparity of numbers.

01:23:23.000 Actually, I think we have a good story for this topic and what Ian's talking about.

01:23:28.000 Let me pull this up.

01:23:28.000 This is from SFGate.

01:23:29.000 Walgreens is closing five San Francisco stores due to organized retail crime.

01:23:35.000 They say, they give the addresses, I'm not going to read the addresses, but they're going to close five more stores.

01:23:40.000 A company spokesperson confirmed Tuesday, citing ongoing organized retail crime as the reason.

01:23:45.000 Organized retail crime continues to be a challenge facing retailers across San Francisco, and we are not immune to that.

01:23:50.000 Retail theft across our San Francisco stores has continued to increase in the past few months to five times our chain average.

01:23:56.000 During this time, to help combat the issue, we increased our investments in security measures in stores across the city to 46 times our chain average in an effort to provide a safe environment.

01:24:06.000 We also heard Target, I believe it was, is going to change their hours because they can't handle all of the theft.

01:24:12.000 There's an interesting conundrum here.

01:24:14.000 You've got in New York City, right, AOC, they want to do away with cash bail.

01:24:19.000 I actually agree.

01:24:21.000 I do.

01:24:21.000 I think that if someone is accused of a crime, non-violent of course, and they're poor, holding them and demanding cash for them to leave is punishing someone who can't afford it.

01:24:32.000 So we're innocent until proven guilty.

01:24:35.000 You can't hold me and lock up before you've proven anything.

01:24:38.000 I'm innocent!

01:24:39.000 And so there's a really serious problem then.

01:24:41.000 They started releasing repeat offenders who are laughing as they were committing these crimes.

01:24:45.000 You then take a look at what's going on in San Francisco.

01:24:47.000 Yeah, they're overly lax with what's happening, and now you're getting businesses pulling out.

01:24:52.000 So what's the answer?

01:24:54.000 More cops to arrest people?

01:24:56.000 Stop and frisk?

01:24:58.000 Or the government backs off Personal responsibility.

01:25:02.000 How do you solve a problem like this?

01:25:04.000 Stop disarming people.

01:25:05.000 Stop taking away their ability to defend themselves.

01:25:07.000 You fight back in New York City against someone who is a clear aggressor and attacker, you will be going to jail.

01:25:13.000 That's an absolutely absurd law that creates more victims, creates less personal responsibility, and creates a situation where criminals thrive.

01:25:21.000 Criminals literally have the carte blanche many times in New York City to do whatever they want because there's many instances of police officers just standing back watching crimes happen Watching people get hurt, and they're saying well.

01:25:34.000 I'm having an argument with the government, so I'm just not gonna do anything You know they'll arrest you in two seconds if you got a gun though They'll arrest you in two seconds if you have a political sign in the wrong place and you're saying the wrong message as well.

01:25:45.000 So there's been many instances of businesses that got shut down by police officers, by sheriffs, all throughout New York City because they just wanted to have their business open.

01:25:57.000 Meanwhile, Black Lives Matter protests, even on Fox News, cops standing around the corner with their arms hugging themselves as businesses are being looted and the cops are just standing there.

01:26:10.000 Fire?

01:26:10.000 No, I believe in personal responsibility, and if you're going to be incentivizing people to get away with crimes, you should incentivize people to defend themselves and to be able to not be victims of those crimes.

01:26:20.000 I guess the theft is a non-violent crime, so it's tough to authorize, like, a store owner to open fire.

01:26:25.000 Depends if someone's stealing something right in front of you, right out of your hands.

01:26:28.000 I mean, there's an argument to be made here.

01:26:30.000 That's different.

01:26:30.000 But out of your store.

01:26:31.000 Like, if you're a store owner and they were robbing your shelves, it's not really ethical to fire your weapon at them.

01:26:38.000 I struggle with this idea that I have to restrict myself to the amount of force that's being used.

01:26:43.000 I mean, I'm not necessarily sure if someone comes into my store and starts taking my things out that, you know, I have to say, restrict myself to in the amount of force I use to put a stop to that.

01:26:53.000 For example, I don't think it would be fair to say, well, you're a lot bigger than that guy is, so you'll have to find someone smaller to tackle that thief.

01:27:02.000 I don't think that that's a good ethical principle.

01:27:05.000 Now, that said, I also don't think that Because what you're saying, this is how it's gonna turn out.

01:27:12.000 Someone's gonna be like, stealing a package of lip gloss and some guy's gonna open fire with a shotgun.

01:27:17.000 Part of what happens is... I think that's acceptable.

01:27:23.000 I'll just say, sorry to interrupt, but if someone is committing a crime in your store, this is one of the things you learn right away when it comes to home defense.

01:27:31.000 You had Dave Chappelle, he did that stand-up bit where he's like, birdshot, birdshot, buckshot, birdshot, buckshot, and everyone I talk to says, absolutely not.

01:27:40.000 Buckshot, buckshot, buckshot, buckshot, buckshot. 0.97

01:27:43.000 Because you don't know, that person breaking into your house, if you point a weapon at them, they could end you.

01:27:48.000 And if someone is in your store committing a crime, and you think, it's just lip gloss, I'll be nice to them, and they pull out a revolver or whatever, There's that video that went viral of the cop, just recently, he's outside taking the guy out of the car, and the dude pulls out a rifle and just starts shooting at him.

01:28:04.000 So the difficulty is, I think the point you're making is restricting someone's use of force.

01:28:10.000 I certainly think that if somebody is committing a crime, you should be able to use force to stop them, to protect yourself, because you don't know to what extent Right.

01:28:18.000 I mean, crime is rising.

01:28:20.000 It's very tough.

01:28:21.000 There's no universal answer, but I think it's clear that crime is rising where crime is allowed, where prosecutors aren't going after people, where police officers are looking the other way.

01:28:31.000 And I think there's also other societies that are polite societies, that they know a lot of people are armed, a lot of people are willing to defend themselves, and there's an effect knowing that, hey, There's a responsibility here that is known by everyone that if you do cross a certain line, there are ramifications that you will have to pay for those specific lines.

01:28:51.000 And I think the more people are able to assert themselves, the less aggressors they would have against them.

01:28:57.000 There would be less harm, there would be less violence, there would be less crime, there would be less people hurt overall in the long run than in the current system that we have right now.

01:29:08.000 I didn't mean to derail you though.

01:29:10.000 No, the point I'm getting, though, is a big one about institutional trust.

01:29:14.000 If you don't trust the cops to enforce the laws, if you think that the cops are actually going to make

01:29:18.000 things worse, which is a number of what people from, 1.00

01:29:20.000 I don't know, Black Lives Matter might argue, that the cops make things worse,

01:29:24.000 when that institutional trust in the prosecutorial system, in the jail system, in the police system,

01:29:31.000 degrades and erodes and people start removing that away, and the ability for cops to enforce the law goes,

01:29:40.000 the incentive structure is such that someone's gonna say, look, I'm gonna run into this store,

01:29:44.000 I can just go with my duffel bag and go through the jewelry section and just,

01:29:48.000 you know, five or 10 of us will just go in and then walk out.

01:29:51.000 And if you're not going to prosecute crimes, say under $1,000 or under $500 because it's not worth it, it incentivizes those crimes because the guy's going to say, well, what are you going to do about it?

01:30:00.000 There's five of us.

01:30:02.000 So what needs to happen is you have to be able to bring about a situation where the police are able to enforce the law without abusing the authority given them to enforce the law and that's the difficult point because on the one hand There's an awful lot of people and I think they're I mean, I think I would get some sympathy for me and with this to say man Have you seen how some cops behave when they're enforcing the law the way that they they treat citizens?

01:30:29.000 The way people are treated in prisons.

01:30:31.000 I mean, it's absolutely abhorrent But if you say, well because of that we're going to take away the cops power to be able to arrest people and we're going to try and reduce people's engagement with law enforcement under those circumstances by taking away police power, all of a sudden

01:30:50.000 There's now no incentive for somebody not to rob a store.

01:30:53.000 And so I see this as in large part as a function of the destruction of the trust in the institutions that are enforcing justice.

01:31:02.000 So now what's happening is that On the one hand, the police were viewed to have gone too far, and in places like San Francisco, Seattle's another one that has a huge problem.

01:31:12.000 People said, no, we don't want the police doing that.

01:31:14.000 We don't want the police.

01:31:15.000 Defund the police, defund the police, defund the police, defund the police, pull the police back.

01:31:19.000 We are now seeing the fruit of those seeds beginning to bloom in the disorder and the chaos.

01:31:26.000 So, I thought it was an interesting question then, on levels of acceptable authoritarianism, as it were.

01:31:33.000 Police are allowed to stop you, detain you, ask you questions, and they make an arrest based on, you know, if they believe you've committed a crime.

01:31:42.000 And sometimes they're wrong, and innocent people get locked up.

01:31:44.000 And so there's that big challenge.

01:31:45.000 You know, Ben Franklin said it's better that a hundred guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer.

01:31:49.000 Taking from Blackstone's formulation of ten guilty persons.

01:31:52.000 So, where do we draw the line?

01:31:55.000 As you mentioned, when we say, you know what?

01:31:57.000 The cops are going too far.

01:31:58.000 Okay, now your stores are closing down because they're losing money.

01:32:01.000 All right, well then, bring the cops back in.

01:32:02.000 Okay, now you're getting reports of cops, you know, injuring people and arresting old women.

01:32:06.000 Like, would Bane Franklin say it's better that 10,000 guilty people go than one innocent sufferer?

01:32:12.000 Like, where's his threshold?

01:32:13.000 Because he only said 100.

01:32:13.000 I'd say 10,000.

01:32:14.000 10,000?

01:32:14.000 You know why?

01:32:17.000 If people can't have confidence that in their innocence they will be presumed to be innocent and will have a hope that they will not be falsely accused or imprisoned, then the system has no... they'll have no confidence in the system at all.

01:32:30.000 The problem with that is 10,000 people go into Walgreens and rob 500 bucks each and knock the business out, completely destroy the business legally.

01:32:37.000 Well, not legally, but unprosecutorily.

01:32:41.000 So maybe... Man.

01:32:44.000 Challenges, man.

01:32:45.000 Morality is not black and white.

01:32:47.000 It's like I was saying, I talked about this with gender segregation, and we'll probably get into this in the member segment where we get into this very serious story about Loudoun County, which is very, very gross. 0.99

01:32:57.000 But the same arguments made today about gender segregation were made about race segregation back in the day.

01:33:03.000 We have, men and women have different rooms. 0.98

01:33:05.000 Why?

01:33:05.000 Oh, they're biologically different and they should have their own spaces if they want to stay safe.

01:33:08.000 And a lot of, it's a lot of similar arguments.

01:33:10.000 A lot of people reject it saying, oh, come on, the difference between race is marginal and biology is, you know, between men and women is very... I'm not saying one thing or another about any biology.

01:33:20.000 I'm saying quite literally the arguments.

01:33:22.000 People used to say back in the day that they have race segregation because they're different.

01:33:26.000 Now we have gender segregation. 1.00

01:33:27.000 Men and women have different rooms because they're different. 1.00

01:33:29.000 So the same arguments don't fly for the same issues.

01:33:32.000 Gender's different than race, for sure. 1.00

01:33:36.000 There's just different things.

01:33:37.000 We have different opinions about different aspects of our existence.

01:33:40.000 So it's not an easy black and white answer.

01:33:42.000 There's no easy answer to a lot of these questions.

01:33:44.000 There's always going to be some kind of inequality.

01:33:46.000 There's always going to be some kind of injustice.

01:33:48.000 But in my own personal opinion, when you get rid of the state, you get rid of a lot of harm that could potentially happen.

01:33:55.000 If you want to reduce harm, you get rid of the state.

01:33:58.000 And you leave people on personal responsibility.

01:34:00.000 For you it is.

01:34:01.000 It's never going to be easy, but at the end of the day, I would argue that less people would be hurt out of that system than they are right now.

01:34:08.000 I don't think so, because if you remove the state, Walgreens will hire a militarized army to go over to, you know, Radio Shack and mow everybody down and take the building.

01:34:17.000 Ian, you're absolutely wrong.

01:34:20.000 Radio Shack went out of business.

01:34:23.000 Okay, so we're going to get rid of the state.

01:34:30.000 What's to stop me from having saying, well, I'm going to raise my own militia.

01:34:33.000 I'm going to take over a series of land and I'm going to own slaves. 1.00

01:34:35.000 I've now just created my own mini state.

01:34:38.000 It's all states, yes.

01:34:39.000 It all comes back.

01:34:40.000 It's reciprocal.

01:34:41.000 I understand that.

01:34:42.000 So my point is, I don't think saying, well, just getting rid of the state solves anything.

01:34:45.000 I mean, so I'm Canadian.

01:34:47.000 We don't have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

01:34:48.000 We have peace, order, and good government.

01:34:50.000 I think that good and effective government is necessary, as we've seen by the shoplifting thing.

01:34:55.000 I don't think anyone benefits from saying, well, we're all going to have our own personal security guards at our own stores to combat theft.

01:35:03.000 That's that's just not and I I'm gonna upset the libertarians in the crowd, but I also don't think that things like city planning can be done decent in a decentralized way and in a way that's necessarily effective so Planning roads planning sewage Planning electrical grids a lot of this has to be centrally planned It's very difficult to do if not impossible to do in another way, so I don't think that's a solution but I do think that Once you have a state that is not exercising its power judiciously and fairly and properly and competently, once you live in what we're in, in a hyper real fake simulation or simulacra as Tim put it, once you get into that kind of a situation you end up with a scenario where the trust in institutions is broken and so those very institutions that we institute, that we create in order to take care of

01:35:56.000 very very important matters are not trusted and people pull back from them

01:36:00.000 They they're gonna start stepping outside the the norms that those institutions upheld and those things held

01:36:06.000 together so what you end up is you end up with a breakdown of not

01:36:09.000 just the Trust of the institutions, but that leads up to a cracking

01:36:13.000 of the organizational structure as well What was that movie with Natalie Portman Portman?

01:36:18.000 Annihilation?

01:36:20.000 Have you guys seen that one?

01:36:22.000 So, spoiler alert, it's not that old of a movie, but it's been out for a long enough time.

01:36:25.000 There's like this weird alien bubble.

01:36:27.000 When you go in, DNA is all mixed and animals have plants growing out of them and creepy stuff's happening. 0.94

01:36:33.000 And then in the end, she encounters an alien that looks just like her.

01:36:36.000 That's how I imagine simulacrum.

01:36:38.000 It's not a copy.

01:36:39.000 It's a cheap imitation of.

01:36:42.000 So you're saying when the state gets too grotesque, we need to, or maybe not need to, but we would be good to break it down into an era of no state for a moment as we reform a new state, which is inevitable?

01:36:54.000 Well, I think the Jordan Peterson solution is you have to burn off dead wood.

01:36:58.000 Haven't you seen the meme of V from V for Vendetta?

01:37:02.000 And he's got a headphone with a microphone on it, and he says, your government is doing what?

01:37:07.000 Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

01:37:10.000 Well, let's go to Super Chats, everybody!

01:37:28.000 As you noticed, we're in a new studio, which means there's an other studio.

01:37:32.000 Because we're going to be doing more shows.

01:37:34.000 So definitely become a member at TimCast.

01:37:35.000 We'll have a special member segment coming up later, but let's read y'all Super Chats.

01:37:40.000 All right, YouTube has this fancy little bar that blocked me from reading your name, but I'll read your chat.

01:37:45.000 Super Chat says, Hey Tim, you're right about the Globetrotters comparisons.

01:37:48.000 Now let's sneaking stack the Washington Generals with some all-star players and win.

01:37:53.000 It wasn't, it wasn't coming from me.

01:37:54.000 It was, um, I think someone said it the other day that the Republicans are the Washington generals and the Democrats are the Harlem Globetrotters.

01:38:01.000 Like, that's, that's like a really great, you know.

01:38:03.000 All right, TacticalChiller says, all are welcome in Springwater Village.

01:38:08.000 When it hits the fan because nobody wants to see where this globalist plan is heading.

01:38:11.000 I'll be starting a new community out at my place.

01:38:14.000 160 acre woods in AR with spring water.

01:38:17.000 P.S.

01:38:18.000 If the IRL caravan needs a place to park in the end, y'all are welcome here.

01:38:22.000 Well, we're actually building for Damastan.

01:38:24.000 Big news.

01:38:24.000 We're finalizing the land purchase so that we will have free Damastan.

01:38:30.000 And it's going to be a big open acreage, fun, recreational, freedom plot of land.

01:38:34.000 I'd like to build a factory nearby if anyone's interested.

01:38:37.000 You were going to build the Free Dome.

01:38:39.000 I would love to build the Free Dome.

01:38:40.000 I'm going to build the Free Dome.

01:38:41.000 It's going to be a geodesic dome, ideally built from recovered plastic, broken down with mushrooms, pestiolopsis microsporae, into sugar mixed with graphene.

01:38:50.000 Then we can 3D print some joints and legs.

01:38:52.000 Ian will literally live in graphene and mushrooms.

01:38:55.000 Yes.

01:38:56.000 I want a thousand yard range.

01:38:58.000 We'll have that.

01:38:59.000 We do.

01:39:00.000 We got some paperwork back today.

01:39:02.000 We finalized a lot of it.

01:39:03.000 Tomorrow it will be keys in hand.

01:39:06.000 Oh, there's a thousand yard range.

01:39:09.000 Oh yeah, that means the Barrett will have a home.

01:39:11.000 What's the underground look like over there?

01:39:13.000 Dirt.

01:39:14.000 Wow, that's a lot of potential, man.

01:39:16.000 Yeah, excavating is expensive.

01:39:17.000 We built a sewer sewage system.

01:39:19.000 Is that?

01:39:19.000 Oh, geez.

01:39:20.000 Yeah.

01:39:20.000 Chicken City's got a sewer system.

01:39:21.000 It's incredible.

01:39:22.000 It's awesome.

01:39:23.000 Yeah, we're building a simple sewer system so that when it rains, it flushes the chicken refuse just naturally out the back.

01:39:28.000 I got a tour of Chicken City today.

01:39:30.000 It's coming along swimmingly.

01:39:31.000 It's amazing.

01:39:32.000 I'm I can't believe how amazing it is.

01:39:34.000 The custom fencing they're building.

01:39:36.000 It's just you guys got to see this.

01:39:37.000 Go to go to go to go to the Castle on YouTube if you want to watch, you know, some of this.

01:39:43.000 Alright, we got a super chat here from... I think it says Horndorf.

01:39:46.000 Let's go Brandon!

01:39:47.000 Let's go Brandon.

01:39:48.000 the Navy in the Navy to protect every American's freedom just so the Biden terror group can take 0.91

01:39:53.000 it away. Let's go, Brandon. Let's go, Brandon. All right, let's see. Danimal Bungie says, Tim,

01:40:00.000 quote, if you say you're opposed to the vaccine mandate, but you comply with it, you are not

01:40:04.000 opposed to the vaccine mandate. Also, Tim complies with YouTube censorship. I seem to recall hosting

01:40:09.000 Alex Jones several times has been banned. I seem to recall hosting Steve Bannon who's been banned.

01:40:13.000 I seem to recall hosting Enrique Torrio who is smeared by the media over and over again,

01:40:18.000 and he's banned from basically everything.

01:40:20.000 And so there's a big difference between, say, like, actively participating in the censorship and actively opposing it.

01:40:27.000 If someone says, I hereby oppose this, now let me go to the store to participate in their vaccine mandate to uphold it, versus me being like, no, if we're gonna host these people, we will, and we're gonna create a speakeasy over at TimCast.com.

01:40:39.000 There's layers.

01:40:41.000 Certainly there's layers.

01:40:42.000 If these restaurants in New York City, I've explained this before, but I'll explain it again.

01:40:46.000 We're saying at the front of their door, I'm sorry, you can't come in unless you're vaccinated, New York mandate.

01:40:52.000 However, if you'd like to be an owner for $10, I'll give you a share of the company.

01:40:57.000 And as an owner, oh, you can come into the building.

01:40:59.000 You're an owner, right?

01:41:00.000 Or what if they said, but in back, you can do whatever you want.

01:41:04.000 Then I'd say, hey, look, they're actively opposing the vaccine mandates.

01:41:07.000 Instead, what they're doing is they're saying, this is a bad thing.

01:41:09.000 This is, we shouldn't do it.

01:41:11.000 I'm going to go do it.

01:41:12.000 Do you oppose censorship?

01:41:13.000 I oppose most forms of censorship.

01:41:16.000 Exactly.

01:41:16.000 I'm with you.

01:41:17.000 I don't oppose it.

01:41:18.000 I don't like it.

01:41:20.000 But I think that you need judicious censorship.

01:41:23.000 It's a good question.

01:41:25.000 Do we support censorship of government secrets in a time of war, say with China?

01:41:29.000 Of course.

01:41:30.000 Yeah, we don't want China to come and steal all our secrets. 0.93

01:41:32.000 We're opposed to them.

01:41:34.000 Biden's gonna give it to them anyway.

01:41:35.000 It's true.

01:41:35.000 On a silver platter.

01:41:37.000 But there's some censorship like Ian, you mentioned when you were curating Mines and there's gore and stuff like that.

01:41:43.000 I support the censorship of that kind of stuff.

01:41:45.000 I think I have my own line though, right?

01:41:47.000 And everybody does.

01:41:48.000 I'm with that with YouTube.

01:41:49.000 Like, I don't love not being able to scream the F word every 10 minutes because that's how I am in real life.

01:41:55.000 But you don't swear.

01:41:57.000 I like to.

01:41:57.000 I mean, especially when we're talking about this stuff, like Joe Biden, I want to.

01:42:01.000 But I, you know, I have I enjoy the platform and I think that I want to, you know, give the platform its due.

01:42:10.000 I have like over 1,500 YouTube videos since 2006.

01:42:12.000 I've never violated the terms intentionally.

01:42:15.000 I go out of my way to make sure that I work with the system I'm working in.

01:42:19.000 And if you don't, then what's the point?

01:42:21.000 I mean, you could obviously go down in a blaze of glory if you need to make a big point about it.

01:42:26.000 A lot of people have done that.

01:42:27.000 I'm just not one of those people.

01:42:29.000 Not at this stage.

01:42:30.000 People are confusing active opposition with passive opposition.

01:42:33.000 Like, they think what I'm saying is that people actually secretly like the vaccine mandates.

01:42:37.000 What I'm saying is they're not opposing it.

01:42:39.000 Like, if you're standing in front of a boulder, you're opposing the boulder's movement.

01:42:44.000 If you step out of the way, you are no longer actively opposing the boulder.

01:42:46.000 You can still be mad the boulder's heading towards the townspeople.

01:42:48.000 Yes, yes, exactly.

01:42:50.000 People are confusing what I'm saying.

01:42:51.000 They're as if to imply I'm like, everybody secretly likes it.

01:42:54.000 I'm like, no, I can tell they're distressed.

01:42:56.000 You know?

01:42:56.000 But they're not actively in opposition to it.

01:42:58.000 Let's read some more, though.

01:43:00.000 I bet he's not actually Gator. 0.89

01:43:01.000 I'm just saying.

01:43:02.000 Snosky TV says truck driver chicken in seeing diesel shortages pop up more and more frequently

01:43:07.000 The southwest is stretched thin and truck stops have a lot of things missing from their shelves. Very unnerving never

01:43:13.000 seen anything like it Wow

01:43:17.000 Dr. Roller Gator says vocal is not actually a bird and Gator wants a refund. I

01:43:21.000 Bet he's not actually Gator. I'm just saying I'm gonna need some backstory on that

01:43:28.000 Dr. Roller Gator is one of the one of the esteemed members of the James Lindsay sphere of Twitter

01:43:35.000 He's a very, very skilled mathematician who's done a lot of really good work on his substack.

01:43:41.000 He's a gator on Twitter.

01:43:42.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:43:44.000 You know he's serious when he writes in lowercase letters.

01:43:47.000 Tim, too, I've noticed.

01:43:48.000 Sideways2013 says, Hey Tim, I know you've had this situation several times.

01:43:52.000 Will you have a way to mirror your laptop screen so guests can see it, like a TV at the end of the table?

01:43:57.000 Good luck with those studio links.

01:43:59.000 In fact, my friends, as part of the new construction of this studio, we actually literally have that.

01:44:03.000 Now, I don't have a laptop.

01:44:04.000 I have little monitors.

01:44:05.000 But I don't know if you can do a wide shot.

01:44:07.000 Yeah, hold on, let me see.

01:44:08.000 And then everybody who's watching will be able to see that we do in fact have a big TV that everyone can look at.

01:44:13.000 Look at that!

01:44:14.000 And they can see all your fancy super chats!

01:44:16.000 And they can see all the chats going by, and they can see the monitor screen.

01:44:19.000 This is because at the end of the show we pop super chats, everybody gets to see it, but normally it's like the articles that we have.

01:44:23.000 But look at that, look at that wide shot!

01:44:24.000 We also have an alpaca.

01:44:25.000 We do, yeah.

01:44:26.000 Do you have the alpaca?

01:44:27.000 Important guest.

01:44:28.000 It is, it is set up, you can press the alpaca button.

01:44:30.000 I can't, oh hold on, let me see.

01:44:31.000 Which one's the alpaca button?

01:44:33.000 No, that's me.

01:44:35.000 What are you doing?

01:44:36.000 Oh! 0.60

01:44:36.000 It's not the remote. 0.60

01:44:37.000 The alpaca cam is actually one of the cameras.

01:44:39.000 I love that wide shot.

01:44:40.000 On the stream deck.

01:44:41.000 Oh yeah, there we go.

01:44:42.000 There he is!

01:44:42.000 There's a delay for me, but I sure like it.

01:44:44.000 Oh, you got the alpaca.

01:44:45.000 Yeah, we got this from an alpaca farm, and his scarf is made of alpaca hair or whatever.

01:44:51.000 He's wearing the hair of another alpaca.

01:44:53.000 Wool?

01:44:53.000 Is it wool?

01:44:53.000 It is wool.

01:44:54.000 He is, in fact!

01:44:55.000 But he himself was made in China.

01:44:57.000 Give me a one in chat if you notice that drill next to Tim.

01:45:00.000 Oh yeah.

01:45:00.000 You can see a drill.

01:45:01.000 There's a drill next to your left arm.

01:45:02.000 Yeah, we're still working on the studio.

01:45:03.000 We're hanging up art, trying to figure things out.

01:45:05.000 We're resin printing a custom Timcast IRL logo.

01:45:09.000 Resin printing.

01:45:10.000 How thick is that going to be?

01:45:11.000 That's crazy.

01:45:12.000 It's going to be beautiful though.

01:45:14.000 All right.

01:45:15.000 Moose Code says, hey Luke, horse and pony.

01:45:18.000 Potato, potato.

01:45:21.000 Close enough.

01:45:21.000 I mean, that makes sense.

01:45:23.000 Let's see.

01:45:24.000 Michael Schwobel says the fake set for Biden is entirely so that he can read the lines

01:45:29.000 off a large monitor.

01:45:30.000 I mean, that makes sense.

01:45:32.000 Yeah, probably.

01:45:33.000 Matt Mayer says, Tim, I work in supply chain for a company known for their mac and cheese.

01:45:37.000 For what I see on a daily, our gears are turning, but they're starting to cease.

01:45:41.000 I've been telling people to stock up.

01:45:43.000 We cannot keep up with demand.

01:45:45.000 But is it like great demand?

01:45:47.000 Or is it regular demand with no supply?

01:45:48.000 Hmm.

01:45:50.000 Hard to tell.

01:45:52.000 All I know is I go to the store and there's less and less.

01:45:54.000 Remember I was telling you, like, we went to the store and they had no cream?

01:45:57.000 That made me angry.

01:45:58.000 How dare they?

01:45:58.000 Yeah, we had to go to a different store.

01:46:00.000 And then they didn't have cream with a good, like, cap.

01:46:02.000 They had the old school one where you have to peel it.

01:46:04.000 And that spoils so quick.

01:46:06.000 What?

01:46:06.000 Yeah, total bummer.

01:46:07.000 Someone just said Drama Llama. 1.00

01:46:08.000 Did you guys see that?

01:46:09.000 Drama Llama?

01:46:10.000 I like that one.

01:46:11.000 He's an alpaca!

01:46:12.000 Oh.

01:46:13.000 Lydia wants to steal Veritas's thunder with the alpaca, but you know. 1.00

01:46:16.000 I do.

01:46:17.000 Yeah, we can't do that.

01:46:18.000 Maybe we can mate them one day. 0.56

01:46:20.000 Retracto.

01:46:21.000 Yeah, isn't Retracto a male?

01:46:22.000 I don't know.

01:46:22.000 She looks female.

01:46:23.000 They're stuffed animals.

01:46:24.000 Correcto's a female. 1.00

01:46:25.000 Correcto's a female. 1.00

01:46:26.000 Correcto, is that its name?

01:46:27.000 She's got a little scarf. 0.76

01:46:28.000 Yeah, that's her name.

01:46:28.000 Correcto.

01:46:29.000 All right, let's see what we got here. 0.90

01:46:34.000 Danny Beach says, crap, I just got my ticket for your event. 0.72

01:46:37.000 Didn't think. 0.91

01:46:38.000 Do I need one for my wife, or can we both get in on one? 0.81

01:46:41.000 You will need one for your wife. 0.99

01:46:42.000 Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the announcements.

01:46:45.000 So over at simcast.com, for everybody who's a $25 member or more, we put up the official event on October 23rd.

01:46:52.000 We are doing a live hangout meet and greet at a bar in West Virginia.

01:46:57.000 And we will be revealing the full details of the location, but it's in the Harpers Ferry area.

01:47:01.000 And Ryan Long and Danny, you guys know Danny, I think his name is pronounced Polish Chuck?

01:47:07.000 Yeah, I think so.

01:47:07.000 Polish Chuck?

01:47:09.000 So, yeah, so Ryan Long's gonna be doing stand-up, Danny will be doing an opening stand-up routine, and they'll be hanging out with us there because they're awesome, good friends of the show, and we wanted to put on a cool event.

01:47:19.000 It is free for all the members, if you're a member, at 25 bucks or more, boom, you sign up, it's right there.

01:47:24.000 And then what we're gonna do is tomorrow, assuming we haven't sold out, which we probably will, We're then going to open it up to all members, $10 or more, and here's the plan.

01:47:34.000 Day of, there's going to be an open doors for one hour for people to show up who have RSVP'd, you get a plus one, and we'll check membership at the door, and then you come in, you get your wristband, whatever, and I think we're doing two drink tickets.

01:47:46.000 The event is free for members.

01:47:47.000 We are paying for it!

01:47:49.000 And, you know, everything is going to be, you know, free.

01:47:52.000 You just got to show up.

01:47:53.000 Bring your body and nothing else. 0.72

01:47:54.000 After this, in the rare event that we don't actually sell out and fill up, because it's going to be Ryan Long performing.

01:48:01.000 I think even if it was just Ryan Long, it would sell out.

01:48:04.000 Then we will allow people from the public to come in.

01:48:07.000 So what will probably end up happening is we will have, there's 200 available tickets, which means members and a plus one.

01:48:16.000 And then, once that fills up, let's say we have 100, you know, 200 people in the venue, if someone says, hey, I can't stick around, I'm leaving, and they leave, then we'll be letting people in, but at that point, if you're, if you haven't, if you aren't a member, you gotta buy a ticket for the event, which I think will be 25 bucks.

01:48:30.000 I'm not entirely sure exactly how that's working out.

01:48:33.000 But, that being said, over at TimCast.com right now in the members section is the link.

01:48:40.000 You need to be $25 or more because that's basically what you got.

01:48:43.000 You got the advantage.

01:48:44.000 That's why we didn't announce at the beginning of the show to give everybody, you know, sort of a chance to go through and get those tickets.

01:48:50.000 And then, uh, yeah, there we go.

01:48:51.000 So Ryan Long performing is gonna be amazing!

01:48:54.000 I'm super excited for this and we'll all be there, of course.

01:48:56.000 Everybody from the crew, Ian will be there, Lily will be there, Luke will be there, I will be there.

01:49:00.000 And then everybody else from the Cast Castle, you probably met, they will be there as well.

01:49:04.000 It's gonna be fun.

01:49:05.000 It's gonna be chicken wings.

01:49:06.000 Billiards.

01:49:07.000 Not from our chickens.

01:49:08.000 And Ian and I are going to be jamming.

01:49:10.000 Oh, that'll be fun.

01:49:10.000 And Ryan Long plays drums.

01:49:12.000 That's awesome.

01:49:13.000 Yeah, he used to be like a pro drummer.

01:49:14.000 Yeah, he's good.

01:49:15.000 So we'll see what happens.

01:49:16.000 And then maybe we'll even get some other people to play music.

01:49:20.000 We'll see how it goes.

01:49:21.000 I'll have the triangle.

01:49:22.000 Yeah, that's my instrument.

01:49:24.000 Hey! 0.99

01:49:24.000 Well, it is West Virginia, which is an open carry state, constitutional carry, so Luke can play the barret. 0.99

01:49:29.000 It's an instrument.

01:49:31.000 Yeah, it's an instrument.

01:49:33.000 That's one way to put it.

01:49:35.000 All right, let's see.

01:49:36.000 Josh Latofsky says, I just have to say that I really like the wider angle shots of you guys.

01:49:40.000 We can see more body language, making it seem like a more in-depth experience for us viewers.

01:49:45.000 And we also have the wide shot for that purpose.

01:49:47.000 Yeah.

01:49:47.000 Although the challenge of the wide shot is the PTZ camera has to manually move and reposition.

01:49:51.000 It takes a second.

01:49:52.000 You gotta get it queued up.

01:49:53.000 Yeah.

01:49:53.000 Gotta anticipate.

01:49:55.000 All right, let's see what we got here.

01:49:56.000 Andrew L says, can you have Alex Jones be part of your team permanently?

01:50:00.000 He is never wrong.

01:50:01.000 Don't you know that?

01:50:02.000 But seriously, can you have him back on members at least?

01:50:05.000 You know what?

01:50:05.000 We talked about this before.

01:50:06.000 I would love if Alex was ever in the neighborhood just to sit down with Ian and just the two of them.

01:50:10.000 Yeah, I would party with him every week.

01:50:12.000 I would love to work with Alex every week, but he's in Texas and we're up by Harper's Ferry.

01:50:17.000 I feel like if it was just Ian and Alex on one members only thing, it would be kind of like when you point a camera at the TV and it creates that recursive loop.

01:50:28.000 Definitely.

01:50:28.000 When I look into his eyes.

01:50:29.000 eyes.

01:50:30.000 Yes.

01:50:31.000 All right.

01:50:32.000 John Smith says pilots have to take their vaccination.

01:50:33.000 I'm sorry, their vacation sick pay before they get fired.

01:50:34.000 Otherwise they lose it.

01:50:35.000 This is a question that we've been getting a lot of questions about.

01:50:36.000 And I'm going to go ahead and answer it.

01:50:37.000 I'm going to go ahead and answer it.

01:50:42.000 The mass canceled flights are because of this.

01:50:44.000 If that's true, it's to imply that all of these people who are absent are planning on quitting.

01:50:50.000 Oh, definitely.

01:50:52.000 Oh, man.

01:50:52.000 Wow.

01:50:53.000 Wow.

01:50:53.000 See, that's, you're a good business owner.

01:50:55.000 That's, that's something these people should be thinking about.

01:50:58.000 Gavin Campbell says, isn't December 8th or 9th when Congress goes on vacation until the next year?

01:51:03.000 Is that it?

01:51:04.000 I'm not sure.

01:51:04.000 Is it?

01:51:05.000 I don't know.

01:51:06.000 We should look that up.

01:51:08.000 Let me see.

01:51:10.000 Brandon Whitley says, December 8th is when John Lennon died.

01:51:13.000 Have to celebrate communism.

01:51:14.000 Brandon!

01:51:16.000 Let's go, Brandon.

01:51:19.000 Alright, let's see what we got here.

01:51:22.000 Ryan Burkabil says White House says Harris didn't select actors for video.

01:51:27.000 It was YouTube who did, according to CNN.

01:51:30.000 How do we fight the fact-checkers?

01:51:32.000 The Truth in Media Foundation.

01:51:34.000 Yes, we have a non-profit.

01:51:35.000 So probably won't be active until the beginning of next year because we're waiting for our 501c3 status, but it's going to be a fact-checking organization which will fact-check fact-checkers.

01:51:45.000 I mean, it's going to be generally fact-checking everybody.

01:51:47.000 And that means fact-checkers are news outlets, same as anybody else.

01:51:49.000 And we're going to fact-check the reports, but we're also going to be doing ethics checking.

01:51:54.000 That means if someone falsely frames something, we're going to give them a strike.

01:51:57.000 So when Snope says, did Luke Rydkowski, you know, eat ice cream?

01:52:02.000 On Sunday?

01:52:03.000 Well, it's false.

01:52:04.000 And then it says, like, well, it's true.

01:52:05.000 He did eat ice cream.

01:52:06.000 It wasn't Sunday.

01:52:06.000 And, like, no one said it was.

01:52:07.000 That's how they play that dirty game. 1.00

01:52:09.000 What they're doing now.

01:52:10.000 Oh, man, I gotta take credit for this.

01:52:11.000 Victory lap, everybody.

01:52:13.000 We had James O'Keefe on the show.

01:52:15.000 James O'Keefe had this big story, Pfizer emails, showing that they use fetal tissue in the testing process for the Pfizer vaccine.

01:52:24.000 And I said to James, what's going to happen is they're going to come out and fact-check you by saying, Do a viral story from Veritas is, you know, has people

01:52:34.000 believing that there's fetal cells in vaccines. False.

01:52:38.000 This is fake news. It's not true. There is no fetal tissue in the vaccines.

01:52:43.000 When James's story is actually in the testing process, they used fetal cells.

01:52:48.000 Technically correct.

01:52:49.000 It happened exactly as that.

01:52:51.000 Exactly as we thought it was going to happen.

01:52:55.000 Easy to predict.

01:52:56.000 The media came out and said people are falsely believing there's fetal cells in vaccines due to a story from Project Veritas.

01:53:03.000 They never said Project Veritas claimed it.

01:53:05.000 They said due to a... Dirty, dirty tricks.

01:53:08.000 Mirror merchants. 0.98

01:53:09.000 Yeah, we're gonna fact check them and be like, they lied!

01:53:12.000 I'm having a hard time finding when Congress goes on vacation.

01:53:14.000 They go before the 8th, I think.

01:53:17.000 You only get 110 days of vacation a year.

01:53:19.000 It's like travel slash vacation.

01:53:21.000 No, there's a point here that Tim just touched on that's really, really important that I want to just kind of drag over slowly so that people can get it.

01:53:28.000 When they're checking for the facts, very often what they don't do, I mean, we joke a little bit about they're checking to see, we make sure we use the facts that they like.

01:53:35.000 But there's another thing that they do, and that is when you say such and so,

01:53:43.000 because of this and that, you make a point and then you bring up a fact to back it up.

01:53:48.000 Instead of checking the fact, whether or not the statement that you said is actually true,

01:53:54.000 what they do is they check whether or not they think you took the appropriate angle on the fact.

01:54:00.000 So instead of, so you might say, look, we didn't always have an IRS.

01:54:04.000 We don't need an IRS.

01:54:06.000 The fact check won't say, well, did we always have an IRS?

01:54:08.000 Well, let's go back to 1776.

01:54:10.000 No, there wasn't one true.

01:54:11.000 What they'll say is, uh, half true.

01:54:14.000 Yes, it's true.

01:54:15.000 We didn't always have an IRS, but here are some reasons why we do have an IRS.

01:54:18.000 And it's like, that's right.

01:54:19.000 That's not what the check was.

01:54:21.000 There's the fact, and then there's the use to which the fact is put or the thing that you think the fact proves.

01:54:27.000 And rather than checking the fact, There will they will push back against the angle or the

01:54:32.000 point that you're trying to make with the facts play a game Let's play a game. I teach it teach y'all how the fact-checkers

01:54:38.000 work Luke. What have you right there on the table a big old mess

01:54:44.000 Yes that that object there under your glass. Can you raise it up?

01:54:48.000 It's a sword.

01:54:50.000 Pick it up, show everybody on the camera.

01:54:51.000 He took away my other sword.

01:54:52.000 He's still mad about it.

01:54:54.000 Okay, claim.

01:54:55.000 Luke claims to have held up a sword on Timcast IRL.

01:54:59.000 False.

01:55:00.000 Experts say that a true sword requires sharpened edges and must actually have a connected wooden hilt.

01:55:07.000 This object is a toy and not in fact a sword.

01:55:10.000 Luke, false.

01:55:12.000 Or we can say, true, the object being held was a simulacrum of the master's sword.

01:55:19.000 The point is, you can claim whatever you want.

01:55:22.000 And I love the expert's say.

01:55:24.000 Luke claimed to be holding a sword, but we consulted an expert who said, that's not a real sword.

01:55:28.000 So Luke lied.

01:55:29.000 He wasn't holding a sword.

01:55:31.000 Okay, well, I'll get an expert who says I'm telling the truth and then I can claim I was right.

01:55:34.000 So that's how they play, huh?

01:55:36.000 Yeah, it's a replica of the sword.

01:55:37.000 It's not a sword.

01:55:39.000 It's a replica.

01:55:41.000 All right, let's see what we got here.

01:55:44.000 Jeremy L. says, Gabby Akuna is a new mother in Nevada, and the health system is failing her.

01:55:48.000 Please search for her on GoFundMe, and even if you can't give, please spread the word.

01:55:52.000 We the people can help save her life and help her meet her new son if we work together.

01:55:58.000 Best of luck.

01:56:01.000 All right, let's see.

01:56:03.000 What is this?

01:56:05.000 Ricky L. Hendrick says, the armed scholar just reported that SCOTUS will allow Biden to participate in 2A arguments.

01:56:11.000 What?

01:56:12.000 Well, that'll be interesting. Huh, the dude can't argue anything. You can barely talk. Of course, they'll just

01:56:17.000 write it down, you know They'll write down something for him and then he'll read it

01:56:22.000 Molon lobby says regarding new york nurse firings and replacing with national guard

01:56:28.000 1.

01:56:29.000 Most already do that as civilian job, so pulling from other hospitals.

01:56:33.000 Number of health workers need in NYC alone is half of entire NYC.

01:56:37.000 NG manpower, uh, NG manpower?

01:56:40.000 National Guard manpower.

01:56:42.000 3.

01:56:42.000 New York State doesn't accept the army medic cert.

01:56:46.000 Hmm interesting.

01:56:46.000 Oh, here's an important one.

01:56:48.000 It's me says let's go Brandon.

01:56:49.000 Oh, yeah, that's a good one.

01:56:50.000 That's very important Let's go Brandon someone super chat I don't know if you came across it that to look up Kaiser Permanente hit by strike votes in California Oregon and I looked it up and according to GV wire I think it was AP More than 24,000 nurses and other health care workers at Kaiser Permanente in California and Oregon have overwhelmingly authorized a strike, threatening to walk out over pay and working conditions strained by the coronavirus.

01:57:18.000 That's what they say.

01:57:19.000 I called it the cascade failure.

01:57:21.000 As work conditions deteriorate, people quit.

01:57:23.000 As people quit, more work conditions deteriorate, causing more people to quit.

01:57:26.000 It's a downward spiral.

01:57:28.000 The back end of the bell curve.

01:57:30.000 We went up.

01:57:30.000 We have that beacon.

01:57:33.000 It was fun while it lasted, guys.

01:57:35.000 It's still fun.

01:57:36.000 I hope everybody is prepared and they know how to raise chickens.

01:57:40.000 And don't need medical care.

01:57:42.000 We got first aid kits.

01:57:43.000 Ian was drinking aloe vera the other day.

01:57:45.000 Yeah, last night I gave some to the guests.

01:57:47.000 Everyone was pleased.

01:57:48.000 You were literally drinking aloe.

01:57:49.000 Yeah, the inner fillet.

01:57:50.000 Don't drink the leaf.

01:57:51.000 It's great.

01:57:51.000 It's like yogurt.

01:57:52.000 Don't drink the leaf.

01:57:53.000 What is it?

01:57:54.000 The herb of life or something is what the Egyptians used to call it.

01:57:57.000 Interesting.

01:57:57.000 Full of water.

01:57:58.000 The flower of life, something like that.

01:58:01.000 All right, let's see.

01:58:02.000 What is this?

01:58:02.000 What did someone say?

01:58:04.000 NextGen says you guys should jump on Pop Network when it launches on the 20th of October.

01:58:07.000 Decentralized YouTube, Twitch, and the ETH blockchain.

01:58:10.000 Interesting.

01:58:10.000 We'll look into it.

01:58:14.000 Essence of immortality?

01:58:15.000 Yeah, the Egyptians revered aloe.

01:58:17.000 Drink aloe.

01:58:18.000 It's cheap.

01:58:18.000 Get it while you can.

01:58:19.000 Grow it yourself.

01:58:20.000 It grows like a weed, apparently.

01:58:21.000 Grow it yourself.

01:58:23.000 That's an interesting argument, too.

01:58:24.000 not authoritarianism when DeSantis says no mask mandates.

01:58:27.000 It is DeSantis' implementing his authority, the authority that the people of Florida

01:58:31.000 gave him.

01:58:32.000 That's an interesting argument too, I don't completely agree with, but I see the point.

01:58:35.000 If people say, I hereby grant you the authority to act in this way under these rules, then

01:58:40.000 them acting that way isn't necessarily authoritarianism if they were voted into power as an executive

01:58:44.000 to do these things.

01:58:45.000 However, I don't completely agree with it, but I understand the argument.

01:58:49.000 There is certain things we don't expect them to do, and the mask mandate, I don't agree with DeSantis being able to mandate businesses don't allow masks.

01:58:56.000 What if he came out and said, no one can wear shirts.

01:58:58.000 Like, no one can mandate shirts.

01:59:00.000 Free the nipple. 0.97

01:59:01.000 Yeah, for the people. Why should they mandate shirts? I guess so. Yeah, like shirts are different. I mean, I mean

01:59:07.000 masks are different. I don't I don't prefer to wear one at a store.

01:59:11.000 I'll wear one if I have to. We went to a micro center.

01:59:13.000 We had to wear masks and I'm like, oh, whatever man. I will tell you this though.

01:59:16.000 I have this watch, and it does a blood oxygen level check.

01:59:20.000 And so, after about 20 minutes, I decided to check, and it was at 95%.

01:59:22.000 And I was like, huh.

01:59:25.000 So then I waited another 10 minutes, and then I checked again.

01:59:28.000 It was at 93%.

01:59:28.000 And then I was like, huh.

01:59:30.000 And then I checked again, and then it said 89, and it said, warning, consult a doctor.

01:59:35.000 Your oxygen levels are getting dangerously low.

01:59:36.000 And I was like, that's weird.

01:59:37.000 And I just lifted the mask up and took a deep breath.

01:59:39.000 Oh, wow.

01:59:39.000 And then I went back to normal.

01:59:41.000 I don't know.

01:59:41.000 I was getting yawny.

01:59:43.000 I kept yawning.

01:59:43.000 Yeah, that makes you sleepy.

01:59:44.000 Breathing all that carbon dioxide.

01:59:45.000 Yeah, being guilty.

01:59:46.000 Yeah, and so then I checked, and I was wearing one of the... I don't know.

01:59:49.000 I don't know.

01:59:49.000 Don't look at me.

01:59:49.000 I'm not a doctor.

01:59:50.000 Someone on my watch said it, and I thought it was weird.

01:59:52.000 I believe someone had passed out trying to run a race with a mask on.

01:59:54.000 Yeah, that student.

01:59:55.000 Yeah.

01:59:56.000 But people need to realize, too, some of these masks are, like, really thick.

02:00:00.000 And some are really not thick at all.

02:00:02.000 Yeah.

02:00:02.000 You know, so you could be having something that's like super thin.

02:00:05.000 People don't check, which is I just think is ridiculous.

02:00:07.000 It's like, whatever.

02:00:09.000 One of the things I've asked and I've wondered about mask mandates is how much of the mask mandate is because the mask is being employed properly and correctly in an environment which it makes a difference?

02:00:22.000 And how much of it is because it makes people feel safe?

02:00:26.000 To feel safe.

02:00:27.000 I was out in L.A.

02:00:27.000 and I had the N95 mask that wasn't vented, so everything I was breathing out was not being filtered.

02:00:32.000 Basically, if I had coronavirus, I was breathing it out through the mask into their face, but they didn't know, so they didn't care.

02:00:38.000 They thought it was a mask, so they were happy.

02:00:40.000 I'd go into the store, no one said anything about it.

02:00:43.000 As far as they were concerned, I was masked up, even though the mask wasn't working properly.

02:00:45.000 I see you wearing a mask, that's all that matters.

02:00:47.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa.

02:00:48.000 Oh boy.

02:00:49.000 Alec Norgaard says, I work at my school's dining hall.

02:00:51.000 Ketchup, mayo, mustard, barbecue out for weeks.

02:00:54.000 Whoa.

02:00:56.000 That's it.

02:00:56.000 That's the apocalypse.

02:00:57.000 A couple weeks ago, there was a shortage of ketchup packets up in the Northeast.

02:01:02.000 All over New Hampshire, people couldn't get small ketchup packets.

02:01:05.000 Should we just get like 40 pounds of ground mustard seed?

02:01:08.000 How about ketchup?

02:01:10.000 I'm not that big a fan of mustard to want to do this.

02:01:12.000 I think we should buy another refrigerator and maybe an ice machine.

02:01:15.000 That's also because I want to do cold plunges.

02:01:18.000 But ice machines also would be smart.

02:01:20.000 Yo, we got a deep freezer and vacuum sealed farm meat, deep frozen, can last up to three years.

02:01:26.000 Yeah, it can.

02:01:27.000 Dude, so we got a decent amount.

02:01:28.000 We need more freezers.

02:01:30.000 We need a vacuum sealer. 0.54

02:01:31.000 Yeah, that requires electricity.

02:01:32.000 I think we have an ice machine in the house.

02:01:34.000 We do?

02:01:34.000 Yeah, I'll point you towards it.

02:01:35.000 It's about this big.

02:01:37.000 Okay.

02:01:37.000 I think that the supply line thing is a bigger deal than maybe that we're making it out to be.

02:01:42.000 or whatever, we'll have four days of electricity.

02:01:44.000 Isn't that crazy?

02:01:46.000 And then we'll ration it off and, you know, no video games.

02:01:49.000 I think that the supply line thing is a bigger deal than maybe that we're making it out to be.

02:01:54.000 It's not just a lack of goods, but I think that's kind of one of the things that shows people

02:01:58.000 what happens when competence steps aside.

02:02:01.000 That it's now, oh like there's literally things in my grocery store that I can't get because of decisions that are being made at a very high level that are affecting supply chains.

02:02:13.000 It's going to get scary.

02:02:14.000 Centralization.

02:02:15.000 I'm going to read one more.

02:02:16.000 Kyle Abrams says, Tim, I purchased a $25 membership and it says I only purchased $10.

02:02:20.000 How do I fix that?

02:02:21.000 Okay.

02:02:23.000 Email members.

02:02:24.000 Is it members at TimCast.com?

02:02:26.000 Yes.

02:02:26.000 I imagine for member stuff.

02:02:28.000 Yeah.

02:02:28.000 But it could be something else.

02:02:29.000 I don't know.

02:02:29.000 On the website.

02:02:30.000 And I apologize for the errors, guys.

02:02:32.000 Sometimes they might happen, but send those emails.

02:02:37.000 We'll make sure somebody gets them as soon as possible and make sure you guys get squared away.

02:02:41.000 And if you have any issues, just, we'll make sure we work through it and figure it out.

02:02:46.000 And I will say, uh... We'll make sure everybody is fairly taken care of.

02:02:50.000 If you emailed tonight saying you're having issues, then we're gonna put you in.

02:02:54.000 Like, if you were trying to get a ticket but you couldn't get in and you emailed us about it, we're gonna make sure that... Oh yeah, we'll figure it out.

02:03:00.000 Yeah, we're not gonna leave you hanging because the whole point is, we've been trying to do events since March.

02:03:04.000 And we got red-taped up, so we decided, you know what, we can't just not do it.

02:03:07.000 We need to do something and let's just book a venue and do it and there's a really fun venue we found and they're like yeah cool do whatever and we're gonna do it's gonna be free if you're a member and you RSV show up no and and then you know I mentioned so I'll just do one more time real quick for those that didn't hear it's gonna be in the Harper's Ferry area Go to TimCast.com if you're a $25 member, you will see it there.

02:03:28.000 And you can bring a plus one, so if you're a member, then you bring one more person with you.

02:03:33.000 We're gonna check memberships at the door.

02:03:35.000 Tomorrow, assuming we don't sell out, it will then open up for all $10 members to RSVP, so if you think you can wait for it, by all means you can, but I really do think we only have 200 tickets.

02:03:45.000 And then on the day of, as people are leaving, we'll allow members of the public to come in after they purchase a ticket or something like that.

02:03:51.000 We've got to figure out the ticket laws and how that works.

02:03:53.000 It's not so easy just to have an event, but Ryan Long is going to be performing along with Danny Polishchuk, who is in all of his videos.

02:04:00.000 You guys probably know them from their videos.

02:04:02.000 We're huge fans, we're good friends, and we're really excited.

02:04:05.000 The first person I thought of was like, we've got to get Ryan to come out and do stand-up for everybody.

02:04:08.000 That would be so amazing.

02:04:09.000 So that's what we're going to be doing.

02:04:10.000 But I will now wind things down, so thank you all so much for hanging out.

02:04:15.000 Make sure you like the video, subscribe to the channel, and go to TimCast.com.
