Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Journalist Investigating Biden RAIDED By FBI, Goes MISSING w-Seth Weathers

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:37.000 you this is a crazy story

00:00:49.000 There is a journalist who is investigating Joe Biden and what happened with Afghanistan and the pullout.

00:00:55.000 The FBI raids his home and then he disappears, quits his job, and is just gone, apparently.

00:01:02.000 We know some individuals who actually knew this guy.

00:01:04.000 They reached out, no response.

00:01:05.000 So maybe now that the news is broken, Rolling Stone's writing about it, Daily Mail's writing about it, maybe he'll pop up and be like, guys, You know, like, someone stole my car and I went bankrupt and my wife left me.

00:01:17.000 That's why I was away.

00:01:18.000 Who knows?

00:01:19.000 But right after he gets raided by the FBI, he just stops.

00:01:23.000 Cancels his project.

00:01:24.000 No investigation on Joe Biden.

00:01:26.000 Very interesting.

00:01:27.000 The best part of this story was when Rolling Stone says, This may be the first time Joe Biden's FBI has raided a journalist.

00:01:34.000 James O'Keefe would like to have a word with you, Rolling Stone.

00:01:38.000 But, uh, yeah, still a very, very crazy story.

00:01:40.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:01:40.000 Plus, oh, this one's my favorite.

00:01:43.000 Oh, man, Stacey Abrams coming out and saying, abort the poor. 1.00

00:01:46.000 That was just wow.

00:01:48.000 OK, here's what happens.

00:01:50.000 The Democrats know abortion isn't a winning midterm issue.

00:01:53.000 The economy is.

00:01:54.000 So when Obama comes out and says, you got to talk about the economy, Stacey Abrams gets asked, I think it was by Joe Scarborough, and she's like, well, you know, abortions?

00:02:04.000 Economic.

00:02:04.000 You know, women who don't want kids because they can't afford it?

00:02:07.000 Well, abortion helps them save money. 0.96

00:02:10.000 You know, they wouldn't care about the gas prices if they got rid of that kid.

00:02:13.000 And it's just, you know, wow.

00:02:16.000 Bravo.

00:02:16.000 Okay.

00:02:17.000 Abort the poor.

00:02:19.000 in this story.

00:02:20.000 You know, we talked about no-fault divorce a week or so ago, and here's my favorite development, because I didn't catch this one when the story dropped a week or so ago, two weeks ago, but they refer to our very own Ian Crossland as a conservative commentator.

00:02:35.000 I'm very impressed at the evolution of Ian.

00:02:36.000 Ian, you're conservative, no?

00:02:37.000 It's true.

00:02:39.000 I'm a liberal conservative.

00:02:40.000 You admit it!

00:02:41.000 Conservatively liberal.

00:02:42.000 All right, all right.

00:05:18.000 At least that's what I was told.

00:05:19.000 So, share the video on social media.

00:05:21.000 Joining us today to talk about this and more is Seth Weathers.

00:05:26.000 Good to be here.

00:05:27.000 Who are you?

00:05:29.000 I am a recovering political consultant.

00:05:32.000 I spent years running campaigns.

00:05:33.000 I was one of the first people that Donald Trump hired when he decided to run for president in 2015.

00:05:39.000 I was nuts enough to do that and to believe that he was going to be president.

00:05:44.000 Since then, recently I've started a company FreedomSpeaksUp.com.

00:05:47.000 We're a conservative lifestyle brand that we are trying to, our goal is essentially to tell people be uncensorable and when people see others out wearing shirts that have a statement on it, sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's serious.

00:06:00.000 The goal is to let people know there's other people that think like you and be unafraid to speak up.

00:06:06.000 So that's what we're trying to accomplish.

00:06:08.000 Right on, thanks for hanging out.

00:06:09.000 We also have the t-shirt vendor.

00:06:10.000 Hey guys, I think my lifestyle is more of a troll, anarchist kind of a lifestyle brand when it comes to my t-shirt that of course I have here.

00:06:18.000 And that's why today I'm wearing my Trust the Science shirt on the eve of the CDC just having another mind-boggling decision for children today.

00:06:27.000 And that's why I'm wearing a shirt that says trust the ... science just like you did with DDT cigarettes fluoride ... asbestos glyphosate sugar and I could keep going on and on and ... if you are not a trusting peasant you could get the shirt ... on the best political shirts.com because you do I am ... here thank you so much for having me.

00:06:44.000 Well hello everyone, your friendly neighborhood liberal, conservative, authoritarian, libertarian coming at you, Ian Crossland.

00:06:51.000 Happy to be here.

00:06:52.000 I think, you know, what they wrote, Jezebel wrote that Ian Crossland, they were like, on Tim Pool's show, conservative commentator Ian Crossland.

00:06:59.000 I'm just like, tell me you don't watch the show without telling me you don't watch the show.

00:07:02.000 Yeah, I'm glad you tweeted it out, because like, there's like a hundred comments of people laughing. 0.81

00:07:06.000 It's just like, what in the hell?

00:07:08.000 Did they even watch the show? 0.67

00:07:09.000 It's kind of funny.

00:07:10.000 Well, I will occasionally take a conservative viewpoint, for sure, because they're warranted.

00:07:15.000 But I think you've got to be balanced.

00:07:16.000 Well, we've got to read this story.

00:07:17.000 It's going to be fun.

00:07:18.000 It's going to be fun.

00:07:18.000 We've also got Serge over here pressing all the buttons.

00:07:20.000 That's right.

00:07:21.000 Here I am.

00:07:21.000 Find me at Serge.com.

00:07:23.000 Alright, let's jump into this first story from Rolling Stone.

00:07:26.000 FBI raids star ABC News producer's home.

00:07:30.000 Emmy-winning producer James Gordon Meek had his home raided by the FBI.

00:07:33.000 His colleagues say they haven't seen him since.

00:07:36.000 And this was apparently back in April.

00:07:38.000 Look at this.

00:07:39.000 At a minute before 5 a.m.

00:07:40.000 on April 27th, ABC News' James Gordon Meek fired off a tweet with a single word, FACTS.

00:07:47.000 The network's national security investigative producer was responding to a former CIA agent Mark How do you say this?

00:07:52.000 Polymeropolis, take that the Ukrainian military with assistance from the U.S. 0.96

00:07:56.000 was thriving against Russian forces.

00:07:59.000 Polymeropolis' tweet, filled with acronyms and indecipherable to the layperson, like ITPs, UW, and EW, was self-emissive from the Washington Post, Pentagon Reporter, Dan Lamont, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:08:12.000 Okay, really what the story comes down to.

00:08:15.000 I think we have this tweet here.

00:08:17.000 Let's just go through the quick bullet points on this one.

00:08:20.000 Outside ABC News' James Gordon Meek's apartment, a surreal scene was unfolding, and his storied career was about to come crashing down.

00:08:26.000 Multiple sources familiar with the matter say the Emmy-winning producer was the target of an FBI raid.

00:08:31.000 None of his neighbors, with whom Rolling Stone spoke with, have seen him since.

00:08:35.000 His neighbors haven't even seen him.

00:08:37.000 An ABC representative tells Rolling Stone, he resigned very abruptly and hasn't worked for us for months.

00:08:43.000 It's unclear what story, if any, would have put Meek in the FBI's crosshairs.

00:08:47.000 Well, not necessarily.

00:08:48.000 It's been reported by several outlets he was investigating Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan and then abruptly vanished.

00:08:54.000 Now, here's the best part of the story.

00:08:57.000 Rolling Stone says Meek has been charged with no crime, but independent observers believe the raid is among the first and quite possibly the first to be carried out on a journalist by the Biden administration.

00:09:09.000 Okay.

00:09:10.000 Well, uh, I would just like to point out James O'Keefe does exist.

00:09:13.000 He was also raided by the FBI.

00:09:15.000 But, uh, here's the story, man.

00:09:16.000 This is a troubling trend.

00:09:17.000 Now, I don't know what happened to this guy.

00:09:19.000 Okay?

00:09:19.000 The report was that he was investigating Afghanistan.

00:09:22.000 Very, very bad day for Biden.

00:09:24.000 And I'll remind you, when you look at the aggregate polling, that's when Joe Biden went underwater.

00:09:28.000 His approval rating was higher than his disapproval.

00:09:31.000 Afghanistan happened, he flipped. 0.79

00:09:33.000 The Democrats right now, they're desperately trying to reverse that narrative and win back support, but the economy is just, it's beating them down.

00:09:40.000 Then you get a guy who's working on this big story, gone.

00:09:43.000 Well, Rolling Stones is also reporting right now that he might have had classified information, and that's why the FBI raided him.

00:09:50.000 But we have to understand that what's happening here is not out of the playbook, out of the Democratic Party.

00:09:55.000 When Joe Biden was vice president, the Obama administration terrified newsrooms just like they did weddings and hospitals all throughout the Middle East with their drone strikes.

00:10:05.000 And Obama used the espionage act more than any ... other president before him to specifically put a record ... number of journalists and their sources in jail so we ... have to understand here this is the continuation of the Obama ... DOJ FBI that prosecutes people that wanted to do real ... journalism they went after James O'Keefe they probably ... went after this guy we don't know all the details here but.

00:10:27.000 He quit his job, he didn't publish his book, and he disappeared.

00:10:31.000 People can't find him.

00:10:32.000 Of course, people are automatically, some people are going to go off and say, well,

00:10:36.000 maybe they Michael Hastings'd him, which is another journalist that also died under the

00:10:41.000 Obama administration, also had allegedly classified information.

00:10:45.000 During the Obama administration.

00:10:47.000 While investigating.

00:10:48.000 Who was he investigating?

00:10:48.000 He was investigating a top general that was, you know, that he was going to expose.

00:10:55.000 And he came out and said, hey, you know, he tried to use his neighbor's car.

00:10:58.000 He said they had people following him.

00:10:59.000 So again, what the Democrats are possibly, what they could possibly do is unspeakable with what they already did with the Obama administration.

00:11:08.000 Okay, what we know from the Obama administration is that more journalists and whistleblowers were charged under the Espionage Act and other charges than all other presidents combined.

00:11:18.000 What we know about Michael Hasings is that... Who was he?

00:11:21.000 Was it Hayden?

00:11:22.000 No, it wasn't Hayden.

00:11:23.000 It was another top military general.

00:11:25.000 He was investigating some top general guy and then one day he shows up to his neighbor's house saying he needs to borrow their car or something about he saw someone under his car tampering with it.

00:11:34.000 The next thing we hear... John Brennan.

00:11:36.000 Brennan.

00:11:36.000 John Brennan.

00:11:37.000 CIA Director John Brennan was being investigated.

00:11:38.000 The next thing we hear is that he was speeding down Wilshire Boulevard uncontrollably and slammed into a tree and his car burst into flames.

00:11:45.000 Yeah, like two in the morning.

00:11:46.000 Yeah.

00:11:47.000 So one people were like, maybe he was drunk and he just depressed and suicidal and just hit the gas and just didn't let go.

00:11:52.000 Other people are like, maybe they wired his car.

00:11:54.000 He went to his neighbors and said, my car was tinkered with.

00:11:57.000 Can I use your car, please?

00:11:58.000 Because someone was messing with my car.

00:11:59.000 It's not the same.

00:12:00.000 And the neighbor said, no.

00:12:01.000 Do you guys remember when Seamus, Freedom Tunes, he produced a debunking left-wing memes video, and there's this researcher who made the pyramid, it's the reverse pyramid of conspiracy theories, have you seen this?

00:12:14.000 I don't think I've seen that one.

00:12:16.000 So this pyramid shows like, on the bottom, it's conspiracy theories that are true, and it's like, you know, MKUltra, it happened, we know the documents are classified.

00:12:25.000 And then at the top, it's like anti-Semitic point of no return.

00:12:28.000 And the funny thing is, it says something like, Epstein is true at the bottom, and then it says powerful individuals trafficking children is considered a conspiracy theory.

00:12:39.000 And it's like, bro, that's the same thing.

00:12:41.000 Like, the Epstein thing, that's what it is.

00:12:44.000 Ghislaine Maxwell's in prison for trafficking minors.

00:12:48.000 It's not a conspiracy theory anymore.

00:12:49.000 She's been convicted.

00:12:50.000 Now, You know, who was it?

00:12:52.000 I'd love to see that list.

00:12:53.000 But here's the funny thing, like, after something like that happens, one of my favorite stories is Chris, I think it was Chris Ragon, tweeting that when Epstein dies, he gets into an Uber, and the Uber driver turns around immediately and says, yo, that guy didn't kill himself.

00:13:07.000 I like that, that was the cultural shock when that story dropped.

00:13:11.000 So when you hear that a national security reporter, here's the story from the Daily Mail, check this out.

00:13:16.000 ABC national security producer hasn't been seen since April when FBI mysteriously raided his house.

00:13:21.000 Journalist was writing a book about Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

00:13:26.000 He abruptly quits, tells the guy he's working the book with, I'm out, you know, I don't have anything to do with this.

00:13:30.000 And now no one, his neighbors haven't seen him, his colleagues haven't heard from him.

00:13:34.000 We actually, someone we work with, I'm gonna keep the details, you know, vague because we're trying to investigate this, tried reaching out because they know him and they're like, yo.

00:13:41.000 He's not responding.

00:13:43.000 So, uh, I don't know.

00:13:45.000 But let me just tell you.

00:13:46.000 The conspiracy theorists scored a whole bunch of points over the past couple of years.

00:13:51.000 We are well past the point where we just dismiss these things as far-fetched.

00:13:55.000 A journalist was raided by the FBI and went missing.

00:13:58.000 James O'Keefe was raided by the FBI.

00:14:00.000 His saving grace is that he's famous and people got their eye on him.

00:14:03.000 But I wouldn't be surprised if something really crazy happened here, something really crazy.

00:14:07.000 I'm just realizing that this was in April, so has there been research to note, like, what's his family say?

00:14:12.000 Like, where is he?

00:14:13.000 I mean, is the guy, like, truly missing from his family, friends, everyone?

00:14:17.000 His neighbors haven't seen him, they're saying.

00:14:18.000 Like, apparently they reached out to him.

00:14:20.000 So that's why we're here talking about it.

00:14:22.000 I'd like to know what his family has to say, or who they are.

00:14:27.000 Don't know.

00:14:28.000 You would think if he was married or had kids that they would have been at least vocal about it, and if they're not vocal about it, then they're in on it.

00:14:35.000 Or they're scared.

00:14:36.000 Right.

00:14:36.000 Meaning that they're in on it, like they know something happened.

00:14:39.000 I mean, when the FBI shows up at your door, breaks it down, and points a gun at your family member's head, I mean, that's a message right there.

00:14:45.000 And when you do that to journalists when you do that to people that that whistleblower when you do that when people try to get accurate truthful information to the general public you're not on the good side here I mean I think it's pretty clear and obvious we used to have journalists we used to have whistleblowers we used to have things like you know Watergate we used to have.

00:15:03.000 There's another, you know, comment here that's an adult comment linked to, of course, a whistleblower that goes deep, a part of someone's jugular.

00:15:12.000 Those situations, those scenarios, those individuals can exist under this administration mainly because of just how brutal they are.

00:15:21.000 Towards journalism.

00:15:22.000 It's like, Tim, you mentioned that maybe he had classified information.

00:15:25.000 I think Luke mentioned that.

00:15:26.000 Rolling Stone is reporting that there's a potential that he had classified information and was going to probably blow the whistle on something even more nefarious to already a very nefarious nasty story.

00:15:39.000 And another thing that kind of boggles my mind is, you know, why are journalists puppeteering?

00:15:44.000 Why are they Cheerleading this administration that is literally punishing them, that is spreading fear in the newsroom, that is terrifying them from even doing their job.

00:15:54.000 I don't understand it.

00:15:55.000 I do on some levels, but the general public should be asking some serious questions.

00:15:59.000 What's that phenomenon where slaves will start to love their slave master?

00:16:03.000 Stockholm Syndrome?

00:16:03.000 Yeah, Stockholm Syndrome.

00:16:04.000 It's like journalists are in a state of such shock and terror that they're being... the government's spying on their...

00:16:12.000 I don't think most journalists are afraid of this government.

00:16:14.000 I think they're a little too cozy.

00:16:20.000 I think technically Ian's right.

00:16:22.000 Journalists are in a state of fear.

00:16:24.000 The people you're referring to, Seth, aren't journalists.

00:16:27.000 They're government shills masquerading as journalists.

00:16:31.000 So the people who are actual journalists, this is what happens to them.

00:16:35.000 You get raided by the FBI.

00:16:36.000 I mean, look at James O'Keefe.

00:16:37.000 The FBI raided his house.

00:16:38.000 The whole thing is nonsense.

00:16:41.000 And then Rolling Stone has the nerve to be like, this could be the first time.

00:16:45.000 It's like, bro.

00:16:46.000 The way they phrase that, among the first.

00:16:48.000 What does that even mean?

00:16:49.000 Or possibly the first.

00:16:49.000 And when people point out James O'Keefe got raided, the response from all of these people on Twitter is, he's not a journalist.

00:16:56.000 No, he is a journalist.

00:16:57.000 James is a journalist and he has news organizations defending him.

00:17:00.000 These people don't like him personally. So they say he's not a journalist, but it's like,

00:17:04.000 just because you don't like the things he writes. The same thing is true of Alex Jones.

00:17:08.000 Guess what? Surprise, surprise, Alex Jones is a journalist.

00:17:10.000 Oh, no.

00:17:11.000 Now they're all angry saying, don't you dare conflate the work we do with Alex Jones.

00:17:16.000 If you break down what they are legally doing, and their protections. Yeah, Alex Jones is a

00:17:22.000 journalist. Sorry, that's just a reality. But I gotta tell you this. When you get these corporate

00:17:26.000 shill, quote unquote, journalists that make fake news up and claim things like Ian Crossland is a

00:17:32.000 conservative, and then have the nerve to insult Alex Jones.

00:17:37.000 Oh, I harumph I say, I find it laughable.

00:17:40.000 Shout out to Jezebel for writing that bizarre article, by the way. 0.97

00:17:45.000 We live in an interesting society where people appreciate the government's ability to classify documents.

00:17:51.000 If they didn't have that ability, we'd have been overrun and conquered because we would have lost wars like World War II. 0.50

00:17:55.000 You need secrecy.

00:17:56.000 But at the same time, we also glorify journalists that, like, Expose the corruption within the government by, you know, maybe not receiving classified documents, but I don't know how they... Well, like Julian Assange, for instance, he received, like, that was a classified video, the, what is it, collateral murder, where it shows the soldiers, like, just from a helicopter, like, gunning people down, civilians gunning civilians down.

00:18:19.000 And look what they do to Assange.

00:18:20.000 Yes, and so we've got both dichotomies, like, there's heroes on, you know, you could... and they're at odds, but they're both on our side, I just...

00:18:28.000 Very strange reality.

00:18:30.000 I think the U.S. 0.97

00:18:31.000 government is full of criminals and corrupt psychopaths, and then you have people like Julian Assange, who are like, I'm going to expose evil people. 0.98

00:18:41.000 Right, technically he's a criminal. 0.99

00:18:42.000 Like, he got classified information and revealed it.

00:18:45.000 No, he's not a criminal at all.

00:18:46.000 I don't think that was an evil journalist.

00:18:48.000 It is, actually.

00:18:48.000 He's protected by the First Amendment, and he's not even an American citizen.

00:18:51.000 To receive and disperse classified information, you're allowed to do that?

00:18:53.000 The New York Times does it every day.

00:18:54.000 He's a journalist.

00:18:55.000 There's whistleblower laws that protect individuals that come forward and say, hey, there was some wrongdoing in our government.

00:19:02.000 Many people tried to go through the official avenues, and they of course were told to shut up.

00:19:07.000 He just can't have stolen the documents himself, but if they're provided to him, he has the ability.

00:19:12.000 Again, like he said, that's what journalism, they do that all the time.

00:19:14.000 But like, even if he knows they're stolen?

00:19:17.000 Yes, yes.

00:19:18.000 So like, I can't commit the crime, but if someone else does it for me, then I'm on the clear?

00:19:21.000 If they didn't direct them to.

00:19:24.000 Yeah, right, right, right.

00:19:27.000 If you're a journalist and someone comes to you and says, I have a diary, you can be like, okay, I'll take it.

00:19:32.000 Well, they look at Trump's tax records.

00:19:35.000 What's her name?

00:19:36.000 Maddow?

00:19:36.000 Yes, I forgot about her.

00:19:40.000 But yeah, she put him on her show and was heralded for it.

00:19:43.000 Yeah, they were cheering.

00:19:44.000 I mean, this is really funny, there's some leftist organization filmed some Republican congressman or something undercover, pretending to be a Trump supporter, saying we need pardons for the January 6th defendants, and he's like, well, we gotta win the White House first.

00:19:58.000 And they're all like, oh, we got him, we got him, and it's just like, and how is what James O'Keefe does not journalism?

00:20:04.000 Like, you do this, the same thing, and then claim Veritas is, get that, it's partisan BS.

00:20:10.000 You know, what we need, I would say, probably the only real news organization in the country right now, okay, that's not fair, but the most prominent national level is Veritas.

00:20:21.000 And I say it's not fair, I wouldn't call any of the local news outlets news organizations, I wouldn't call, you call them news outlets, let's call them media, local media disbursement. 0.83

00:20:30.000 The New York Times, please, propaganda narrative garbage.

00:20:35.000 There's a new outlet that came out, Semaphore.

00:20:37.000 And it's Ben Smith, formerly of BuzzFeed and the New York Times, along with a bunch of other people who I think are just terrible, but they're doing reporting now, and they've done some interviews that are actually quite good, and one of them is this guy, this opinion editor from the New York Times, who got fired for publishing Tom Cotton's op-ed calling for the military to, you know, stop the riots.

00:20:55.000 And he's basically like, they're trying to pander to progressives.

00:20:58.000 They had an opportunity to speak out, to call it out, and say, we're not here to pander to you, but they chose, we're gonna be Mother Jones on steroids or whatever.

00:21:06.000 That's the New York Times.

00:21:07.000 It's not news.

00:21:08.000 It's not investigative journalism.

00:21:09.000 There's like, when you talk about journalism, you talk about there's reporting, where people are like, hey, I got a piece of paper, I'm gonna read it to you and report on what I saw.

00:21:16.000 Then there's people that investigate.

00:21:17.000 Investigative journalists are like, here's a piece of paper, I gotta figure out where it came from, who wrote it, and they'll do all this work behind the scenes to figure stuff out.

00:21:23.000 That's Project Veritas.

00:21:24.000 They're investigators.

00:21:26.000 Now, New York Times, Kylie Chung from Jezebel, who wrote this weird article about me calling me a conservative and misquoting me, is not an investigative journalist.

00:21:34.000 Maybe you could call her a journalist because she wrote in a journal that's now online.

00:21:38.000 We're going to walk our way to that story, because first we've got to talk about this one from TimGast.com.

00:21:44.000 Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams says abortion can help address inflation issues.

00:21:49.000 Why, that's right. 1.00

00:21:50.000 If you're concerned about the rising costs for your household, consider killing your unborn child. 1.00

00:21:56.000 That's the news, apparently. 0.99

00:21:57.000 So, uh, you know, she said, you can't divorce being forced to care in unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child.

00:22:04.000 Abrams continued, adding that we don't have the luxury of reducing it or separating them out.

00:22:09.000 Abrams avoided offering policy solutions to counter inflation, instead saying that a governor can address housing prices, a governor can address the cost of education, blah, blah, blah.

00:22:17.000 Okay, so here's the point.

00:22:18.000 We used to have institutions in this country to make sure that if a woman got pregnant that there was a means and resources made available to her and that was called marriage. 0.85

00:22:30.000 We had shotgun weddings.

00:22:31.000 You guys know about that, right?

00:22:32.000 Dude would get a girl pregnant, the dad would go, you're marrying my daughter. 0.99

00:22:36.000 And that's a trope, it's a meme.

00:22:39.000 But once they break down that institution, you now have women who are like, oh no, I got pregnant and the guy has abandoned me. 0.86

00:22:46.000 Okay, there's supposed to be child support laws and payments for a reason.

00:22:50.000 Stacey Abrams could offer up, I don't know, that.

00:22:52.000 Instead, she's like, women are concerned about the cost of goods because they're about to have a baby. 1.00

00:22:57.000 Has she considered that perhaps the reason some women might not want the pregnancy is that they fear not being able to afford it?

00:23:04.000 And so the issue isn't that they should abort the baby, they may actually really want the kid!

00:23:08.000 That's how insane and nightmarish this is.

00:23:12.000 How about we abort inflation?

00:23:14.000 That might be a good start if it's a financial concern.

00:23:17.000 Yeah, we can get rid of that.

00:23:18.000 Maybe we can deal with fractional reserve banking policies, quantitative easing, the Federal Reserve.

00:23:23.000 Yeah, how about you just stop printing money out of thin air and giving it to the biggest companies on Wall Street? 0.99

00:23:28.000 How about you just stop spending money willy-nilly on stupid projects? 0.99

00:23:32.000 And then maybe, you know, people could afford having children and you don't have to abort them, which is absolutely crazy. 1.00

00:23:36.000 Seth, you're from Georgia.

00:23:38.000 You gotta get in this.

00:23:41.000 Get in on Stacey Abrams right now.

00:23:45.000 This is an embarrassment and you're putting it on the national stage for me right now.

00:23:49.000 Yeah, Stacey Abrams is a mess, but fortunately, based on what I'm seeing on the ground there, she's not going to win this race. 1.00

00:23:56.000 I wouldn't disagree.

00:23:56.000 She's going to go directly from this gubernatorial race to she will be running for president shortly after.

00:24:02.000 Probably, I think she actually tries in 2024.

00:24:04.000 I really do think she finds a way into that because who knows what happens with Biden.

00:24:08.000 I wouldn't disagree.

00:24:10.000 They don't have anybody.

00:24:11.000 I mean, in fact, what was the latest polling?

00:24:13.000 Like only 24 percent of people, only 24 people I believe in.

00:24:18.000 Only 24% of people said they would vote for him at this point.

00:24:21.000 There was a couple of polls, one said 33% of people would vote for him.

00:24:24.000 So they need anybody they can get.

00:24:25.000 You got Buttigieg, but he talks like this.

00:24:29.000 And you're like, come on, this is the Obama type 2.0.

00:24:32.000 Yeah, but you know, I'm sorry.

00:24:33.000 He doesn't have the charisma of Obama.

00:24:35.000 And Stacey Abrams, she's an election denier. 1.00

00:24:38.000 You know?

00:24:38.000 This is true.

00:24:39.000 She's an election denier. 1.00

00:24:40.000 I can't support an election denier, you know?

00:24:43.000 So I watched the media talk about election deniers all day and night, and then I saw this viral video of Stacey Abrams, and then I saw another viral video, and I was like, oh man.

00:24:51.000 She's dangerous for society. 1.00

00:24:52.000 That's right.

00:24:53.000 It's very dangerous to democracy that she denies elections.

00:24:55.000 What election did Stacey deny? 1.00

00:24:57.000 She denied, I think she may have denied 2016. 2018.

00:25:01.000 No, no, to 2016.

00:25:02.000 Hillary Clinton and- Oh, she may have, but she denied her own loss.

00:25:05.000 Right, I'm saying, before she even got to denying that she lost and refusing to accept the results of her own election, I think she may have been a 2016 denier as well.

00:25:13.000 Did she say she lost her 2018 election and then claimed that it was, what, felation?

00:25:17.000 Rigged.

00:25:18.000 Rigged?

00:25:18.000 She claimed that the election was rigged?

00:25:19.000 Oh yeah, she claimed there was fraud and manipulation. 0.94

00:25:22.000 Voter suppression.

00:25:23.000 Well, yeah.

00:25:24.000 We had the highest black voter suppression, specifically.

00:25:27.000 In the election year she ran, we had the highest black turnout in Georgia history.

00:25:32.000 But it was the same year that voter suppression kept her from winning.

00:25:36.000 Even right now, voter turnout in Georgia is higher than when it was.

00:25:39.000 Yeah, it's through the roof.

00:25:40.000 Yes.

00:25:42.000 73% higher at this point in the election than 2018.

00:25:45.000 That's incredible.

00:25:47.000 That's nuts.

00:25:48.000 And they're all voting camp, huh?

00:25:51.000 Well, I don't know about all of them, but I do think that Kemp wins, and I think he wins by a decent margin.

00:25:56.000 I think we're in the 7 to 10 range.

00:25:58.000 What led to so many people voting?

00:26:01.000 In this election?

00:26:02.000 More than ever.

00:26:04.000 Do you think there's a lot of efforts to try to get people to vote?

00:26:07.000 Do you think it's mail-in ballots?

00:26:08.000 Do you think it's maybe people moving down to Georgia?

00:26:12.000 I think obviously there's a lot of efforts all over trying to get people to turn out and vote, but I think right now you're seeing people that normally were not paying attention.

00:26:19.000 I'm seeing this personally just from, you know, friend groups, etc.

00:26:23.000 But people that weren't necessarily paying attention are like, What the hell, there's a lot happening here and I don't like it.

00:26:28.000 And I think you're seeing people turn up, and people that were not so political before, they're maybe not speaking out about it a lot because they're kind of afraid of backlash, but they're getting out to vote.

00:26:36.000 And I think that we're going to see, I think the polls are tightening as we get closer to the race in Republican favor.

00:26:43.000 Which tends to typically happen.

00:26:45.000 I think we're going to see actually a, I think we're going to have a pretty big Republican victory.

00:26:50.000 Oh, the, the RealClearPolitics national average in the generic ballot jumped by like two points today.

00:26:57.000 So I'm doing, I'm doing a segment and I grabbed the RCP average and it was 2.8.

00:27:01.000 And I was like, Oh look, they jumped one point.

00:27:03.000 And then I'm like, so I start recording.

00:27:05.000 15 minutes in, when I load RealClearPolitics, it, it refreshes and now it's at 3.1.

00:27:11.000 And I was like, Whoa!

00:27:13.000 It jumped even more in the time that I started talking about it.

00:27:17.000 The national aggregate poll?

00:27:19.000 So it's the generic ballot aggregate.

00:27:22.000 So all these different polls ask people if you were going to vote in the midterms would it be a Republican or a Democrat.

00:27:28.000 These are not swing district polls.

00:27:31.000 They're asking AOC's district who you're going to vote for.

00:27:34.000 So when you see at the national level a three or four point swing for Republicans, This is significant.

00:27:40.000 Yeah, I think Georgia at minimum, we will pick up one congressional seat in an already red state.

00:27:45.000 So in one out of, you know, out of 15 congressional seats, that's pretty significant.

00:27:49.000 I gotta imagine that Biden's almost refusal to talk about inflation is like gotta be driving people insane.

00:27:56.000 Cause it's obvious with gas prices going up, food prices going up, that there's a big inflation issue right now.

00:28:01.000 And like Biden, whenever he's asked about it, what I see, he just kind of acts like it's not that big of a deal.

00:28:06.000 It's like, oh, it's a global thing.

00:28:07.000 It's not, but like, duh, but also the America's the leading global economy.

00:28:11.000 So it's an American thing.

00:28:13.000 The global economy is an American thing.

00:28:15.000 By design.

00:28:16.000 Saudi Arabia wants to join BRICS.

00:28:18.000 Yeah.

00:28:18.000 You know, this has been circulating around for a little bit.

00:28:21.000 That's the end of the petrodollar.

00:28:23.000 And when that happens, America is in for a very, very rude awakening.

00:28:26.000 They're going to do a currency recall probably, get rid of the U.S.

00:28:29.000 dollar, do a U.S.

00:28:31.000 central bank currency, and crypto, go full crypto, tax everybody, get people's dollars will be worth a hundredth of what they were worth.

00:28:38.000 But that's not necessarily relevant to what's going to happen first.

00:28:40.000 What's going to happen first is you are not going to be able to buy anything because we don't make anything.

00:28:45.000 Clothing.

00:28:46.000 Oh, it's going to be brutal.

00:28:47.000 It's going to be like, hey, I need to buy a shirt.

00:28:49.000 Here's, it's 50 bucks.

00:28:49.000 You're going to go for a white t-shirt.

00:28:51.000 That's right.

00:28:52.000 Stitch up your old t-shirts, stitch up your old socks.

00:28:54.000 As someone that sells a lot of shirts, there's actually a lot of trouble getting a hold of just the blank shirts even print on right now, especially certain sizes.

00:29:02.000 Like after COVID hit and everything, it became a real issue, you know, just trying to get blanks.

00:29:07.000 The United States manufactures very little, we outsource to all these other countries, and we get away with it because the U.S.

00:29:13.000 dollar is the settlement layer for the world, the petrodollar, the reserve currency.

00:29:16.000 So, people are like, I need U.S.

00:29:18.000 dollars to do trade deals with other countries.

00:29:21.000 You take a look at what happened to Gaddafi, he wants to trade in gold, he's gone.

00:29:25.000 You look at Saddam Hussein, uh-oh, started trading with Euro, he's gone. 0.56

00:29:28.000 But now, the U.S.

00:29:30.000 can't keep it up, and they try to.

00:29:32.000 That's what they do with the Middle East, the war, everything they do is a desperate attempt to maintain this global dominance. 0.99

00:29:38.000 Now it's Saudi Arabia flipping off Joe Biden, and boy are they panicking over this.

00:29:43.000 Prices are going up and they can't do anything about it.

00:29:46.000 Saudi Arabia joins BRICS.

00:29:48.000 That's it.

00:29:48.000 U.S.

00:29:49.000 dollars out.

00:29:50.000 BRICS is already saying, you know, we can use the rupee and we can use the ruble.

00:29:53.000 We can use the yuan.

00:29:54.000 We don't need U.S. 1.00

00:29:55.000 dollars for settlements anymore.

00:29:56.000 Bye-bye.

00:29:58.000 In the United States, this means you're going to want to buy a computer.

00:30:01.000 That computer is made in Southeast Asia.

00:30:04.000 They're going to say, we don't want U.S.

00:30:05.000 dollars.

00:30:06.000 You don't make anything.

00:30:08.000 What do we need your dollars for?

00:30:09.000 What are we going to buy from you?

00:30:11.000 Not right now.

00:30:11.000 It's oil.

00:30:12.000 Right now, they'll say, yeah, we need U.S.

00:30:14.000 dollars because we want to buy oil.

00:30:15.000 Once we lose this to BRICS, they're gonna go, you got corn, I guess. 1.00

00:30:20.000 I guess we can buy corn.

00:30:20.000 Yeah, we got food, wheat and corn.

00:30:22.000 You think that part of the reason why they're telling farmers in Europe to stop farming is because they're trying to set up a system where now people buy food from America?

00:30:29.000 Maybe.

00:30:29.000 Maybe they had a meeting where they're like, guys, we're gonna lose the petrodollar, what do we do?

00:30:34.000 What do we export the most?

00:30:36.000 Corn and corn syrup?

00:30:38.000 Okay, tell our allies to stop making food.

00:30:41.000 All right, I guess.

00:30:42.000 If we don't have the petrodollar, we can withhold food.

00:30:44.000 But we don't have fertilizer either.

00:30:45.000 It comes from Russia.

00:30:47.000 So, good luck.

00:30:49.000 And I mean, I suppose Ukraine as well.

00:30:52.000 I don't know, man.

00:30:52.000 It seems intentional like they're gonna starve people out, but it's gonna be fun.

00:30:56.000 The people who have farms and live in the middle of nowhere, who've been homesteading, they're gonna go, what happened?

00:31:01.000 And the people who live in cities, they're gonna turn into like ravenous ghouls running around eating each other.

00:31:05.000 I don't know what the media like CNN and MSNBC have been framing Biden as when they talk to him about inflation or if they even talk to him about inflation on those channels.

00:31:13.000 The clips I see of him, he's just like kind of a space cadet on that stuff.

00:31:17.000 Probably by intention.

00:31:18.000 I think he's intentionally not addressing it.

00:31:20.000 I don't think Biden's intentionally saying or doing anything.

00:31:23.000 He's pretty far out of it.

00:31:26.000 Yeah, I mean, Bada Kaff Care, Nexonol Resin, Trinidad and Jabba the Pressure.

00:31:30.000 I don't think there's a lot of intention behind it.

00:31:32.000 It's the Federal Reserve.

00:31:33.000 I haven't heard him mention the Federal Reserve once.

00:31:35.000 It's the Federal Reserve that's the issue.

00:31:37.000 like that you're just private company printing our money away.

00:31:40.000 It's wicked.

00:31:41.000 Yep.

00:31:41.000 Yeah.

00:31:43.000 I wonder if, uh, you guys remember zeitgeist?

00:31:46.000 Yeah. The movie.

00:31:47.000 You seen that one?

00:31:47.000 Yeah.

00:31:48.000 I don't think I've actually seen it.

00:31:49.000 It's worth watching.

00:31:50.000 It's a 2008 movie.

00:31:50.000 I was on school.

00:31:51.000 I missed a lot.

00:31:52.000 So this is, you know, like the early internet era of conspiracy theory videos

00:31:55.000 going around and, uh, you had like loose change, you had zeitgeist and in it, it

00:32:00.000 talks about false flags and stuff.

00:32:02.000 But I wonder, was it part one that talks about fractional reserve banking?

00:32:06.000 Probably.

00:32:06.000 It was, they did like Jesus and like the history of religion, then they did Federal Reserve fractional, what was the third one?

00:32:12.000 They had like a three- I think it was conspiracy war government.

00:32:14.000 I think it was 9-11.

00:32:15.000 Yeah, 9-11.

00:32:15.000 False flags.

00:32:16.000 Yeah, so they talk about fractional reserve.

00:32:19.000 I feel like that kind of documentary going viral in the early days of the internet had a huge impact on a lot of people, leads a lot of people to politicians like Ron Paul.

00:32:28.000 And now all of a sudden you have a culture that outright understands fractional reserve banking enough to reject it, understands the Fed enough to reject it.

00:32:38.000 And these people are going away.

00:32:39.000 You know, like, we're gonna have these conversations all day every day, and they would love it.

00:32:43.000 The machine, the Fed, the establishment, the Uniparty, they would love it if we stopped talking about how they manipulate the system and steal money from you.

00:32:50.000 But not only are they not going away, they took us off fractional reserve banking, and now we're on a no-reserve banking system, where they can print infinite amounts.

00:32:58.000 They don't even need 90% or 10% in the bank to loan out 9 cents on the 10.

00:33:04.000 I gotta wonder if what that means is they know the system's about to implode and they're extracting as much as possible before- And then they're gonna do an occurrency recall and then everybody's gonna lose a thousand- No, no, no, it's gonna be bricks.

00:33:15.000 The U.S., look, if the U.S.

00:33:17.000 loses this, the BRICS nations, OPEC plus, they're gonna be laughing all the way to the bank because they can do, sure, maybe they'll do a currency recall, but it's pointless.

00:33:26.000 The U.S.

00:33:27.000 dollar's gonna hit hyperinflation.

00:33:29.000 We don't make anything.

00:33:30.000 So let me just simplify it.

00:33:32.000 We go to Korea and say, we want a bunch of laptops.

00:33:35.000 And they say, what are you gonna give for us?

00:33:37.000 Or like, what are you gonna give us for it?

00:33:39.000 And then we say, we will give you dollars.

00:33:41.000 And they go, what can I do with that?

00:33:43.000 You can buy from us.

00:33:44.000 And what can I buy from you?

00:33:46.000 Corn!

00:33:47.000 So they're gonna say, no thanks.

00:33:49.000 The computers are worth more than the corn you have to offer.

00:33:52.000 And they're gonna go to China and say, we need the rare earth minerals, and China's gonna be like, deal.

00:33:56.000 They're gonna go to Russia and OPEC, and they're gonna say, we need oil, and they're gonna say, deal.

00:33:59.000 And the US is gonna be like, but we shut down Keystone Pipeline, and we stopped energy production, so we don't make energy, we don't make raw materials here anymore, we don't harvest them, we do a whole lot of nothing.

00:34:11.000 I mean, look, we do some of that stuff in the US, but it's way down.

00:34:14.000 Trump was trying to bring back manufacturing, and that's probably why.

00:34:17.000 You can see what's happening, but I hope you guys are ready for a big ride.

00:34:20.000 It's gonna be fun. 0.88

00:34:22.000 Biden is a horrible diplomat. 0.94

00:34:23.000 People don't like him. 1.00

00:34:24.000 He's mean.

00:34:26.000 He was a terrible military commander. 0.99

00:34:31.000 He surrendered our military to the Taliban in Afghanistan, and people see the weakness and the idiocy and, like, the old frailty, and they just don't take him seriously. 0.99

00:34:39.000 That's the vibe I'm getting. 0.97

00:34:40.000 Saudi Arabians are like, you know, if there's anyone we're ever going to cut ties with in the United States, it's Joe Biden. 1.00

00:34:45.000 That guy's a dick. 1.00

00:34:46.000 It's not personality. 1.00

00:34:47.000 It's the policies.

00:34:48.000 It's what he's doing that's pushing forward.

00:34:51.000 I could get in a whole rant about Saudi Arabia.

00:34:53.000 Let's jump to this next story because that's what I was trying to get to.

00:34:57.000 Conservatives are coming for no-fault divorce from Jezebel. 0.91

00:35:01.000 They say after the fall of Roe, right-wing media have been ratcheting up their rhetoric against no-fault divorce.

00:35:07.000 Expect policy to follow.

00:35:09.000 The reason why this story is from August, we're talking about now.

00:35:13.000 I didn't catch this when it came out, but they refer to our good friend Ian Crossland as a conservative commentator.

00:35:19.000 So let me show you first a little bit what they say in the beginning.

00:35:21.000 I love this because they talk about us.

00:35:23.000 Where are they going to do it?

00:35:24.000 I thought you were an authoritarian liberal.

00:35:27.000 Yeah, you were right about that.

00:35:30.000 They mention, here we go, there's a popular conservative influencer, Tim Pool.

00:35:35.000 Oh, really?

00:35:35.000 Yeah, I'm conservative now.

00:35:37.000 In a segment on his show, I love that one because they say it a lot, but conservatives are like, yeah, Tim Pool's not conservative.

00:35:42.000 Tim Pool in a segment on his show that was delightfully titled, No Fault Divorce Has Destroyed Men's Confidence in Marriage, Men Don't Want to Get Married Anymore.

00:35:51.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:35:52.000 There are studies that show that.

00:35:53.000 We're not just like screaming into the wind.

00:35:56.000 We're like reading things and going, wow, look at that.

00:35:58.000 According to Pool, you know, guys, can't you at least cite the thing I'm reading and not me?

00:36:04.000 I'm not like fabricating things on the wall.

00:36:07.000 They say we have no fault divorce laws to blame for the rise of prenuptial agreements. 0.75

00:36:12.000 Yes.

00:36:14.000 Duh! 1.00

00:36:15.000 Okay, moving on.

00:36:16.000 Which allegedly placed men at risk of being robbed by gold-digging, thieving Jezebels. 1.00

00:36:21.000 Oh, NameDrop, their own website.

00:36:23.000 Willfully ignoring how the court system has a long history of retraumatizing and destroying the lives of rape and domestic violence victims.

00:36:28.000 No, we know full well that's called fault, right?

00:36:31.000 When a guy commits a crime against his wife, now there's fault, you can get a divorce.

00:36:36.000 Congratulations, you understand what no fault means.

00:36:39.000 The best part of the article!

00:36:40.000 They write, In the same episode on Poole's show, conservative commentator Ian Crossland adds, quote, We live in this culture where no-fault divorce is the law of the land.

00:36:51.000 Dot dot dot.

00:36:52.000 If young folks know they're in an environment where divorce is not an option, I firmly believe they're going to be more careful about who they choose to marry.

00:37:00.000 Also a very dry fact statement.

00:37:03.000 I mean, it's a dry analysis.

00:37:05.000 Ian didn't come out and say, arrest all of the women who try to get divorces.

00:37:08.000 He said, if people can't divorce, they're probably going to be more careful about it.

00:37:11.000 Yeah, but I didn't say that.

00:37:13.000 If I did, that was a misspeak.

00:37:14.000 I said that if people can't get a no-fault divorce, if people can't divorce... Wait, what does it say?

00:37:22.000 First of all, I don't use the word folks.

00:37:24.000 That's Obama-speak, and I know I don't use that word, so they're misquoting me.

00:37:28.000 They took a dot, dot, dot.

00:37:29.000 That is weird.

00:37:29.000 We gotta pull that up.

00:37:31.000 They didn't link to the story either, so I don't know what.

00:37:33.000 They were referencing something from like two months ago, but it wasn't that if people can't get a divorce, it's if people can't get a no-fault divorce, then they're gonna be much more choosy about getting marriage.

00:37:42.000 I don't ever advocate for people not being able to get divorced.

00:37:46.000 That's complete insanity.

00:37:47.000 If a guy beats his wife, she should leave him and make him pay. 1.00

00:37:52.000 So they actually did link to the segment and it was with, oh, Dr. Chloe Carmichael was on the show at the time.

00:37:57.000 This is from a few months ago.

00:37:59.000 I'm not going to play through it and try and find the point where Ian says the word folks or whatever.

00:38:04.000 But I just love that this is how the media operates.

00:38:06.000 They just, they lie.

00:38:07.000 They falsely frame things.

00:38:10.000 Yeah, I might use those words, but referencing that if they can't easily get a divorce, so I'm not saying that they're misquoting me.

00:38:16.000 I'd have to reference the data.

00:38:17.000 Here's the point I want to make.

00:38:18.000 Thank you, Jezebel, for giving us the opportunity to bring this subject back up.

00:38:23.000 If no-fault divorce is the law, then marriage does not exist.

00:38:30.000 Dude, you can marry a woman and she can leave you the next day and take half your money. 1.00

00:38:33.000 Literally.

00:38:34.000 Well, that's a bit extreme.

00:38:35.000 But she can.

00:38:36.000 Typically, they would annul, not divorce.

00:38:38.000 What's the difference?

00:38:39.000 Annulment means it didn't happen.

00:38:41.000 So, if you get married to someone and the next day try to dissolve the marriage, they would probably file an annulment and not allow a divorce.

00:38:47.000 Divorce, but there are circumstances where it could be like six months to a year, and all of a sudden now it's like they are entitled to half of your belongings.

00:38:55.000 So marriage is a contract, you know, between two people.

00:38:59.000 The state certifies it to enforce the contract.

00:39:02.000 And it used to be in the past, someone would be like, I don't like her, she's annoying, and I don't want to be with her. 0.98

00:39:06.000 And I'm like, yeah, well too bad.

00:39:07.000 You entered into a contract with this person, you have to now abide by this.

00:39:11.000 So they create no fault divorce, and now it's basically dating.

00:39:15.000 It's like, okay, there's no marriage anymore.

00:39:17.000 It used to be that you would date.

00:39:19.000 You would not, there'd be no binding contract or anything.

00:39:21.000 And if you didn't like it, you'd walk away.

00:39:24.000 Then you'd say, you know what?

00:39:25.000 I think this is working.

00:39:26.000 I'm willing to enter into a lifetime contract with you, enforced by the law.

00:39:31.000 And they'd say, okay, and you do it.

00:39:32.000 No fault divorce means marriage doesn't exist anymore, for all intents and purposes.

00:39:35.000 Except for the purpose of stealing money from, you know, one party or the other.

00:39:40.000 Yeah, it's an opt-in business contract where you split your finances, but the fact that one of the partners can cancel the contract and then take half of your wealth is complete insanity.

00:39:48.000 Luke, if me and you started a company, well, if me, so it is like this, if me and you started a company, it made a million dollars.

00:39:53.000 Is that what the young kids are calling it these days?

00:39:55.000 Yeah, well, you know, we'll just call it a company.

00:39:57.000 You want to start a company with me?

00:39:58.000 Luke, will you start a company with me?

00:40:01.000 And then if you decided to leave the company, I mean, what do you, I think you don't get any, the company still stands and I have the rest, I still own control of it.

00:40:08.000 He would own it.

00:40:09.000 I mean, and this, a better argument would be, I entered to a contract with Luke that I'll provide lumber for him in exchange for coal.

00:40:19.000 And then one day Luke delivers coal and then I say, I'm terminating the contract.

00:40:24.000 And then Luke's like, what, you can't do that.

00:40:25.000 Where, you're supposed to give me the lumber.

00:40:27.000 No, I have no fault contract.

00:40:28.000 Is coal sex, is that what the roof had? 0.89

00:40:32.000 I'm just saying, like, in a marriage you're basically saying, we're going to build a life together.

00:40:36.000 Whatever that may mean.

00:40:37.000 It may mean maybe the wife works, maybe the husband works, maybe they both work.

00:40:40.000 But the reason why the assets are pooled together is that they're forming a family unit, they're going to have kids, and this is going to help a woman who gets pregnant and things like that.

00:40:47.000 No-fault divorce means that you can enter into a contract, share all your resources, and then someone can leave.

00:40:53.000 So perhaps a better way to explain it is, you know, You merge companies and it's like you let's say you have a podcasting company and a major media conglomerate worth tens of billions of dollars says we're gonna do a merger with you and then you go okay but it's a no-fault merger I can leave and take half half of Warner Brothers like

00:41:11.000 That is so weird.

00:41:12.000 And then you can also have kids, get married to a woman, have kids, and then she can just be like, one day be like, man, I did some ayahuasca, I had a change of heart.

00:41:19.000 I'm gonna leave you, take the kid, and make you pay me money. 1.00

00:41:22.000 Yep.

00:41:22.000 You're like, what in the hell is going on?

00:41:24.000 How is this even like a romantic or like...

00:41:27.000 Righteous thing, definitely.

00:41:28.000 There's no marriage there.

00:41:30.000 There's no marriage there.

00:41:31.000 At this point, with no-fault divorce, marriage is basically a tax bracket.

00:41:34.000 That's it.

00:41:35.000 It's like, oh, we're married now, so we get a tax benefit.

00:41:38.000 But, anyone can leave at any time, so there's no real contract.

00:41:41.000 There's no point in doing it.

00:41:43.000 What's the purpose?

00:41:43.000 Only that you can give your spouse money untaxed.

00:41:46.000 That's it.

00:41:46.000 It's just a business, basically a loophole, almost, at this point.

00:41:50.000 Well, child custody is where a lot comes into all these things, of course, as well.

00:41:54.000 And then that, unfortunately, becomes, in a lot of cases, the leverage that's used in the divorce, unfortunately.

00:42:00.000 That becomes more leverage, oftentimes, than even the money.

00:42:04.000 Like who gets the kid?

00:42:05.000 Yeah.

00:42:06.000 And how would that work?

00:42:07.000 Like a person would say, you can have the house if I can have the kid kind of thing?

00:42:13.000 Or vice versa?

00:42:14.000 I don't think that's what they would say in court.

00:42:16.000 It's like a bargaining chip?

00:42:17.000 Yes, kids being used as a bargaining chip in divorce has been going on probably since the beginning of divorce.

00:42:25.000 But it used to be that if you tried to get a divorce, a court would be like, no.

00:42:29.000 I want to get a divorce because, you know, he, uh, I mean, there were, there were serious

00:42:33.000 cases where women were being abused, but they couldn't prove it.

00:42:36.000 And the courts would be like, no divorce.

00:42:37.000 Nice try.

00:42:38.000 You can't do it.

00:42:39.000 That's a problem.

00:42:40.000 The solution is a no fault divorce.

00:42:42.000 That's insane.

00:42:43.000 Because now you, now you're going to get fatherlessness, women who are getting abortions because they 1.00

00:42:47.000 can't afford the kids instead of having a father who's around.

00:42:50.000 The fatherlessness leads to crime and poverty. 0.98

00:42:55.000 And now we're seeing the ripple effect of this, where politicians like Stacey Abrams are like, the solution to a woman who can't afford a kid is to kill the kid. 1.00

00:43:02.000 And that's insane. 0.92

00:43:03.000 The solution used to be someone had to earn to provide for that kid. 1.00

00:43:06.000 Now it's just like, well, that's not gonna happen, so just kill it.

00:43:09.000 With fault divorce before, what, 1969 or whenever it got introduced, and it was like the Bolsheviks, actually, the Russian Bolsheviks are the ones who kind of created the idea that you could just divorce with no fault. 0.69

00:43:18.000 But before that, was it that a guy would beat his wife and she couldn't prove it, so she couldn't leave him?

00:43:24.000 I don't know if that was the main reason why they decided to enact no-fault divorce.

00:43:31.000 But often you'd go to court and be like, we want to get a divorce, and the judge would be like, nope, I sentence you to marriage counseling.

00:43:38.000 So they would not divorce.

00:43:40.000 And then the argument was that women were being beaten, raped, and traumatized, and it led to suicides, and no-fault divorce resulted in a lowering of the suicide rate among many married women.

00:43:49.000 Yeah.

00:43:50.000 Don't get married.

00:43:51.000 That's the crazy thing.

00:43:52.000 It's like, you have a problem with marriage?

00:43:55.000 Don't get married.

00:43:56.000 Yeah.

00:43:56.000 But they do.

00:43:57.000 And then they're like, hey, it's not working out for me.

00:43:59.000 Let's destroy the institution instead of just realizing we made a mistake.

00:44:01.000 Like, I don't want to tell you don't get married.

00:44:02.000 If you want to get married, get married.

00:44:03.000 But I don't want to get married right now because of no fault divorce.

00:44:07.000 Straight up.

00:44:08.000 I mean, I'm just being honest. 1.00

00:44:09.000 I don't want to get married and then have the woman just be like, yeah, you're acting like a jerk. 1.00

00:44:12.000 I'm out. 1.00

00:44:13.000 Give me half of your everything you've ever earned.

00:44:15.000 Are you kidding me?

00:44:17.000 No way.

00:44:17.000 Yeah.

00:44:18.000 Unfortunately, I'm with a woman that feels the same way, and I think there are a lot of people out there that feel that way.

00:44:22.000 Russell Brand was married to Katy Perry, right?

00:44:24.000 Yeah.

00:44:25.000 I think the story was that when they got divorced, he was entitled to a ton of money, and he was like, I don't want it.

00:44:30.000 And I mean, like, Russell Brand is already rich, so he's like, I don't want to deal with it, I don't care about that.

00:44:34.000 Yeah, but I still respect that.

00:44:35.000 For sure, but I mean, you see, this is a problem when you have guys who are like, you know what, I'm a man and I have money, so I don't need to take half of your stuff.

00:44:43.000 Meanwhile, you look at every other case, the overall majority, it's the one being like, I get your stuff.

00:44:47.000 This is true.

00:44:48.000 Look at Mackenzie Bezos. 1.00

00:44:49.000 Amazing.

00:44:50.000 She got, what did she, she got half, right?

00:44:52.000 I think so.

00:44:53.000 Did she get half of 50 billion or something?

00:44:55.000 That's crazy.

00:44:57.000 And then she got married and they got divorced.

00:45:01.000 She married some guy.

00:45:01.000 So did the guy take half of her 50 billion when they got divorced?

00:45:05.000 Is that record?

00:45:06.000 I don't know if he took... No.

00:45:07.000 There's no way.

00:45:09.000 Yeah, because we weren't married long enough.

00:45:11.000 Yeah.

00:45:12.000 And it was after the finances had been gained.

00:45:14.000 She was married to Bezos prior, while he was building the wealth.

00:45:17.000 Yeah, but with a marriage, you get, if they divorce, don't you get all the money back to birth? 0.51

00:45:21.000 Like everything you've ever been worth?

00:45:22.000 Yes.

00:45:23.000 But it's not so simple.

00:45:24.000 Unless you sign a prenup.

00:45:26.000 Right.

00:45:27.000 You had assets coming into a marriage.

00:45:29.000 And so those get taken into account as well.

00:45:32.000 And states, it also varies state by state, you know, what the rules are when it comes to that also.

00:45:36.000 It can be everything you've ever earned and owned.

00:45:39.000 Like, if you own a house, and then you get married, and then a couple years later you get divorced, yep, you're out.

00:45:44.000 That's the funniest thing, the trope about divorce is the husband always gets booted from the house.

00:45:48.000 And then I watched Breaking Bad, and I was like, oh, there you go.

00:45:50.000 You know, because in Breaking Bad, she's like, get out, and you're like, no, it's my house.

00:45:53.000 And the cops were like, it's his house!

00:45:55.000 Have a nice day!

00:45:56.000 And she was like, oh no! 0.99

00:45:58.000 But it's crazy that these are the tropes that, you know, you watch the Simpsons and the Van Houtens or whatever get divorced and the, you know, Mouse's dad just leaves.

00:46:07.000 And he goes and lives in like a bachelor pad and I'm like, why?

00:46:09.000 It's his house.

00:46:10.000 You know, all of these things, like...

00:46:13.000 It's just, you grow up watching that stuff, and you're like, what's the point of marriage?

00:46:18.000 I gotta tell you, man, feminism seems to have been one of the worst possible things for women, not in the terms of like, you know, they got their independence, they get their jobs, and here's, this one's for you, young Turks and feminist websites. 1.00

00:46:30.000 You can take this one, because I know you're going to want to spin this one out of context.

00:46:33.000 But the issue is, now, guys can bang whoever they want, whenever they want, with no strings attached.

00:46:38.000 That's not a benefit to women. 1.00

00:46:40.000 No.

00:46:41.000 Regardless of what your mentality is, let's just break it down to simple probabilities and numbers.

00:46:48.000 Women, when they get pregnant, they either have to have an abortion to get rid of it, or they have to have a child. 1.00

00:46:54.000 Whereas if a guy goes to a party, and there's a bunch of, you know, people doing crazy stuff, and he hooks up with a random chick because we're in this hookup culture, and she doesn't know who he is, and she gets pregnant, dude has nothing to worry about.

00:47:08.000 That's a problem.

00:47:09.000 The problem is for the woman. 1.00

00:47:11.000 The benefit is for the men.

00:47:12.000 Guys can go and party and hook up and never have to think twice about it, but women do. 1.00

00:47:16.000 So I don't know how this hookup culture benefited women, I guess, but... There was an article in the New York Post today that was titled, I'm Dating So Many Men, I Need an Excel Spreadsheet to Organize My Love Life.

00:47:29.000 And reading that story was a little depressing, understanding our current landscape, but this is where we're at.

00:47:38.000 You know, and I think we have to, you know, talk about these things from from an open minded way.

00:47:46.000 You know, different people have their different experiences.

00:47:48.000 They need to go through them in order to see that they were wrong.

00:47:51.000 But I think also as a society, we should be considering the long term kind of consequences for them and having those kind of conversations and debates.

00:47:58.000 Whoa, this is big.

00:47:59.000 Someone just superchatted this right now.

00:48:00.000 Ian was right about Folks. 0.99

00:48:02.000 Jezebel misquoted Seamus as Ian.

00:48:05.000 The timestamp is 1-0-3-0-3.

00:48:09.000 Really?

00:48:09.000 Can we... 1-0-3.

00:48:11.000 Oh.

00:48:12.000 We only have the clip.

00:48:13.000 I don't have the full episode, so... I don't know where that would actually be in the episode, but... It was Seamus who said it!

00:48:20.000 And they claimed it was Ian who said it.

00:48:22.000 That is... That is interesting.

00:48:25.000 Is that illegal for them to do that?

00:48:26.000 It's not illegal.

00:48:27.000 It's a civil tort.

00:48:28.000 Meaning, uh, oh, the clips are actually broken down.

00:48:32.000 Arranged marriage.

00:48:33.000 I miss that guy, by the way.

00:48:34.000 I love you, Seamus.

00:48:35.000 Seamus, where you at?

00:48:36.000 It means, if you, so that's a false statement of fact.

00:48:39.000 That's, that's actually serious on Jezebel's part.

00:48:41.000 It's been up for months.

00:48:42.000 We've now discovered that the question now is damages.

00:48:47.000 Okay, damages is, girl, that you wrote it.

00:48:49.000 Come on the show.

00:48:50.000 Kylie Chung.

00:48:51.000 That's not.

00:48:52.000 Come talk to me about this.

00:48:53.000 That's not how it works.

00:48:54.000 I want to get her on the spot. 0.78

00:48:55.000 Have you lost money or have you been damaged by them attributing Seamus to you?

00:49:01.000 I mean, people are making fun of you.

00:49:02.000 You need corrective marketing.

00:49:04.000 I understand the process, but honestly, I'd rather just communicate with Kylie about it in public.

00:49:09.000 Corrective marketing we may have to do for the show.

00:49:12.000 And I mean this.

00:49:12.000 So when it comes to defamation, damages in the form of corrective marketing means if, you know, one of the aspects of this show, we have Ian here for a reason.

00:49:21.000 Ian is not your typical conservative commentator, quite the opposite.

00:49:24.000 And we don't actually know what your background is, you're kind of a weird dude.

00:49:27.000 And that works.

00:49:28.000 Some people don't like you, some people really like you, some people say you roll one, some people say you roll twenties.

00:49:33.000 Well, that's kind of the point.

00:49:34.000 We don't want to make a cookie-cutter show, so having opinions that we can't predict, or having weird arguments sometimes, makes it more interesting than your average run-of-the-mill show.

00:49:41.000 If they're now lying to people and saying that Ian is a conservative commentator, it is actually hurting the point of having you on the show.

00:49:48.000 That means we have to do corrective marketing.

00:49:50.000 I gotta buy a Times Square billboard of you.

00:49:52.000 That's really expensive.

00:49:53.000 It's gonna cost Jezebel.

00:49:54.000 And Jezebel's gonna have to pay for that. 1.00

00:49:57.000 Because they're claiming you're a conservative when the point, I mean, Luke's not a conservative.

00:50:01.000 Luke's an anarchist, libertarian type.

00:50:04.000 I'm weird, middle of the road.

00:50:06.000 Ian is weird all over the place.

00:50:08.000 And then we have, frequently we get libertarian and conservative guests.

00:50:12.000 But if they're going to make false statements of fact about one of our co-hosts, Seamus was a temporary co-host.

00:50:18.000 He was a co-host on the show for quite a bit, but he's not a staff member here.

00:50:21.000 He's just a recurring guest and friend of ours.

00:50:23.000 He's not a part of the, he's not like a core staffer at the company.

00:50:27.000 So, I'm sorry, like, this might end up being very, very expensive.

00:50:31.000 We gotta look at how many views they got, how many shares it got, then we gotta do corrective marketing, and they're gonna have to pay for it.

00:50:36.000 Who superchatted that, by the way?

00:50:37.000 Because thank you so much for that.

00:50:40.000 That was Tangent.

00:50:41.000 Tangent, thanks.

00:50:42.000 Who pointed this out.

00:50:42.000 Really a lot.

00:50:43.000 I don't know if... I'm gonna try and play this, because maybe it's here.

00:50:46.000 This is gonna give me like...

00:50:48.000 Uh, no, I don't know if this is, it's, it's, the timestamp he gave is in the full episode, we don't have that, we only have the clip, so.

00:50:53.000 It's gonna be hard to find.

00:50:54.000 Yeah, so this is the episode with Chloe Carmichael, that Ping Trip famously took out of context on purpose to make a killer satire video.

00:51:03.000 Oh, it might be this, let me play it.

00:51:04.000 Well, you know, it's funny because we live in this culture where no-fault divorce is the law of the land.

00:51:11.000 And people will say things like, well, look how often marriage ends in divorce.

00:51:14.000 How could you ever be in favor of social structures which disincentivize that or would dissuade people from getting divorced?

00:51:21.000 But I think what people often miss is if young folks know they're in an environment where divorce is not an option, I firmly believe they're going to be more careful about who they choose to marry.

00:51:30.000 I think also people need to be more careful about their decision-making in general when it comes to sexuality.

00:51:34.000 A lot of people will start sleeping with someone, and as you've mentioned, that releases oxytocin and other hormones that bond you.

00:51:40.000 And there are a lot of couples that end up together because they're sexually engaging with one another and they're bonding, but they're not actually really good for each other.

00:51:49.000 And then at some point in the marriage, when the novelty of that person wears off, they get divorced.

00:51:54.000 So I think... Well, there it is.

00:51:56.000 It was Seamus Jezebel posted fake news, a false statement of fact about who said what.

00:52:03.000 See, here's the thing.

00:52:04.000 Seamus is a Catholic conservative.

00:52:06.000 He is.

00:52:07.000 So he has his opinions, not Ian Crossland.

00:52:10.000 Oh, man, that's bad for the reputation of the show.

00:52:13.000 I'm going to have to, man, you know, we're going to have to employ some corrective marketing here.

00:52:18.000 So you go after, obviously, the company.

00:52:20.000 Well, I'm wondering, Kylie Chung, the author, or the company Jezebel?

00:52:23.000 Like, who's on the hook for that?

00:52:24.000 Both of them.

00:52:25.000 Yeah, both.

00:52:25.000 They're both.

00:52:26.000 Yeah, so Jezebel's supposed to have a standard here where, I mean, this is a brazen false statement of fact.

00:52:32.000 They're not going to be able to hide behind opinion on this one.

00:52:34.000 They outright said, Ian Crosland adds quote.

00:52:38.000 And not only that, the quote from Seamus was very long.

00:52:40.000 He made a lot of interesting points.

00:52:42.000 And it's interesting that they cut out a core element of what he said, which is the release of oxytocin, that people are engaging in hookup culture.

00:52:51.000 They cut all that out, attribute it to Ian Crosland, who's not a conservative commentator.

00:52:55.000 And now they've got a very, very direct false statement of fact.

00:52:59.000 That's not an opinion statement.

00:53:01.000 Right?

00:53:01.000 They said, Ian Crosland did this thing.

00:53:04.000 You did not do it.

00:53:05.000 That's false.

00:53:07.000 Oh well.

00:53:08.000 We're gonna have to, I'm gonna have to call my lawyers after this.

00:53:11.000 You know, I didn't even catch that.

00:53:12.000 Thank you to Tangent for pointing out it was Seamus who said that.

00:53:16.000 $965 million dollars, right now!

00:53:17.000 We want it on the table.

00:53:19.000 The precedent is set.

00:53:20.000 Or else.

00:53:20.000 I'm paying his legal fees.

00:53:22.000 Yeah.

00:53:23.000 $965 million.

00:53:24.000 The reality is, that's not too much.

00:53:25.000 That's not too much with what's going on.

00:53:26.000 You should do something about it, because you are in a position to do something.

00:53:29.000 A lot of the little guys out there that have these kinds of things happen to them, and these media organizations all the time, they don't really have the ability to fight back.

00:53:36.000 You know, it felt very like I was being molested when I read that comment that I didn't make attributed to me.

00:53:43.000 I was like, this is like a really creepy feeling, but I had the confidence knowing I was coming on the show tonight to talk about it.

00:53:49.000 If I didn't have a show like this, that would have been devastating.

00:53:52.000 Because I even started to question, did I say it?

00:53:54.000 Yeah.

00:53:54.000 What's wrong with me?

00:53:55.000 You have no way to fight back.

00:53:57.000 So here's what'll likely happen.

00:53:59.000 Corrective marketing is damages, and in all seriousness, I'm gonna have to talk with our marketing people and a lawyer about it to see how we deal with this, because it's out there.

00:54:12.000 People are talking about it.

00:54:14.000 I tweeted about it, calling it absurd and laughable, and so we'll take a look at it, but the reality of what likely will happen is they will issue a correction, and that ends it.

00:54:22.000 If we have to do corrective marketing, we can then escalate and say, no, no, no, you gotta pay damages because we gotta pay for marketing because of what you said.

00:54:28.000 Well, if they're gonna correct it, at least say that I'm a wild hippie.

00:54:31.000 Right.

00:54:31.000 If you're gonna categorize me as something, geez.

00:54:34.000 Mention DMT in the correction, too.

00:54:36.000 You know, it depends on how many hits it got.

00:54:37.000 We'll have to, we'll have to, the corrective marketing will involve research into the reach that this did.

00:54:43.000 So, there's probably a bunch of YouTubers who talked about it and then started repeating the lie that Ian Crosland said these things he never said, so.

00:54:49.000 Hey man, it's one thing if they said, in our opinion, Ian Crosland, you know, is a fascist or a conservative.

00:54:55.000 You can't sue over that.

00:54:56.000 It's a protected opinion.

00:54:57.000 But this is an outright false statement of fact.

00:55:00.000 That's like very, very obvious.

00:55:02.000 So it's reckless disregard for the truth in that capacity. 0.85

00:55:05.000 That was shameless.

00:55:06.000 We'll see.

00:55:07.000 Let's jump to the next story though.

00:55:08.000 The next story is a video that I can't play because Ethan Klein said something that I'm surprised he didn't get banned over, which I'm not going to be able to play.

00:55:16.000 But I can basically tell you what he said.

00:55:19.000 Left-wing YouTube star Ethan Klein muses about another Holocaust against the Jews and says he hopes Ben Shapiro is killed first. 0.97

00:55:28.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:55:28.000 It's crazy. 0.99

00:55:29.000 What show is this on?

00:55:30.000 It's his show, H3TV.

00:55:32.000 L3L3.

00:55:32.000 And they cut the feed in the middle.

00:55:34.000 Well, that's his producers, because he's done stuff like this before where he's gotten suspended and banned for it.

00:55:39.000 Yeah.

00:55:39.000 Or some strikes.

00:55:40.000 Yeah, so I'll, without playing what he says verbatim, because look, I think we'd get a strike for, I think if we played what Ethan Klein said, YouTube would strike us.

00:55:50.000 Right.

00:55:50.000 Yeah, right to the point where they cut right there.

00:55:52.000 But look, I can do this.

00:55:53.000 I can move it forward.

00:55:54.000 He starts saying it.

00:55:55.000 His own producer then, technical difficulties, please stand by.

00:56:00.000 Because there was another point where he called for an act of terror on Republicans.

00:56:04.000 Like, I'm not exaggerating.

00:56:06.000 He literally said people should, you know, go commit an act of terror.

00:56:10.000 And then he's like, okay, it got a little carried away there.

00:56:12.000 They bring it back.

00:56:13.000 And then apparently after they bring it back, he just keeps talking.

00:56:16.000 He just says it again.

00:56:16.000 He says it again.

00:56:17.000 Yeah.

00:56:18.000 He clarifies.

00:56:20.000 So he was intimating that if there was another holocaust, Ben should be the first one. 0.99

00:56:24.000 He said he hopes it's Ben first.

00:56:26.000 Now that's something we were saying before the show, if him and Ben and a few other friends, they were all friends, hanging out in their room playing cards or whatever, and then he said it as a joke, and they all laughed about it, like, Ben's the guy that should get in there and was like, haha.

00:56:36.000 But you don't, on TV, when the guy's not even there to defend himself, that's a crazy thing to say.

00:56:40.000 Right.

00:56:41.000 Yeah.

00:56:42.000 And he's also called for acts of terror against Republicans.

00:56:45.000 That's so weird.

00:56:46.000 It's not funny. 0.99

00:56:47.000 Dude, these people are dangerous and insane. 0.99

00:56:49.000 Seriously. 0.98

00:56:50.000 Like, I'm well past caring about their opinions.

00:56:53.000 It's been years.

00:56:55.000 There are so many people who try to play this middle of the road thing where they're like, well, you know, let's hear what they have to say.

00:57:00.000 I'm like, dude called for a terror attack on a convention.

00:57:04.000 He's now saying he hopes Ben gets gassed first. 1.00

00:57:06.000 These people are nuts. 0.99

00:57:08.000 And this is, I don't know if he's going to get banned over this. 1.00

00:57:11.000 He won't.

00:57:12.000 I doubt it.

00:57:12.000 Well, he did get a strike from the terror attack one.

00:57:15.000 Yeah, I mean that one was a direct call to violence.

00:57:17.000 This, I guess, would be a little more indirect.

00:57:20.000 I don't think he should get a strike.

00:57:23.000 My point on this is basically just that the rules are in place because of people like him and other leftists.

00:57:29.000 So based on what they expect, they should get a strike based on their own principles and own rules, but they don't have this.

00:57:35.000 Their morality is whoever can accrue the most power.

00:57:37.000 It's fascistic.

00:57:40.000 The late David Graeber said that an element of the left has adopted the fascistic tenet of, there is no truth but power, and that's clearly on display with people like him.

00:57:48.000 When he got a strike for calling for an act of terror, he acted like he was outraged.

00:57:52.000 Are you kidding, dude?

00:57:53.000 Even I think that should have been a strike.

00:57:55.000 I'm all about free speech, but if you... 0.87

00:57:58.000 Tell your audience to go and do murders.

00:58:01.000 Yeah, I think they should at least, at the very least, be like, hey, we're taking that episode down.

00:58:06.000 You shouldn't do that.

00:58:08.000 Well, there you go.

00:58:09.000 This is modern politics for you.

00:58:10.000 Where does this standard bring us?

00:58:13.000 I err on the side of free speech for sure.

00:58:16.000 And I don't want the feds being like, oh, we gotta You got a just cause now to go take this guy and unperson him.

00:58:22.000 I don't like that stuff, man.

00:58:24.000 I'd rather just work it out with Ethan.

00:58:25.000 Like, he's stressed out. 0.98

00:58:27.000 He's saying dumb stuff on the internet. 0.97

00:58:29.000 And I'd rather work it out than cause more of it. 0.98

00:58:32.000 How are you going to work it out with someone like that?

00:58:35.000 Sorry.

00:58:35.000 I can't believe I'm saying... I kind of agree with you.

00:58:37.000 If people want to be ridiculous, sensationalistic, bombastic, and idiots, I think we let them, and let people know exactly where they stand. 0.99

00:58:44.000 But I think the problem, Ian, is that, you know, he gets to do this. 1.00

00:58:48.000 He gets to get away with this.

00:58:49.000 He gets to hang out with Susan Wojcicki.

00:58:51.000 Someone on the other political spectrum or someone questioning the establishment sneezes the wrong way automatically, downranked in the algorithm, demonetized, screwed over, shut down, deleted, and censored in many instances for just expressing political thought and ideas, not calling for violence, not calling for anyone to be thrown in the chambers.

00:59:13.000 And there's an unfair balance here, which I think is the critique here that is Fair to make here, but at the end of the day, I stand with you.

00:59:20.000 Let people say whatever ridiculous, crazy stuff that they want, and let us know where people are really coming from.

00:59:28.000 This is where he's coming from, and it's important to know. 0.87

00:59:31.000 Agree or disagree, the conversation should happen.

00:59:34.000 I do agree, and I think his opinion is not a call to violence.

00:59:38.000 It's an expression of a desire for genocide.

00:59:42.000 And a prominent individual to be killed.

00:59:44.000 And so I think that's horrifying.

00:59:46.000 I think what his point he's trying to make is, I'd be willing to bet, because I'm going to give him at least as much, the full context is something like, the right is anti-semitic, Kanye West, and that's why it comes up.

00:59:59.000 And then he probably said, yeah, well, you know what, if it happens, it's because of them, so I hope.

01:00:04.000 That's what I think the context probably is.

01:00:07.000 I ultimately don't care.

01:00:08.000 It's an insane thing to say.

01:00:10.000 I hope Ethan Klein lives a long and healthy and happy life.

01:00:13.000 I say that about people I don't like all the time.

01:00:15.000 I say, look, you know, I don't like what they do, but I wish them the best.

01:00:18.000 I hope they have a happy, healthy life and we find a way to live together peacefully.

01:00:22.000 Here's the issue.

01:00:23.000 No one is going to come after him.

01:00:25.000 He's not going to get censored.

01:00:26.000 The rules don't apply to him.

01:00:28.000 He's going to get away with it.

01:00:29.000 His followers are going to laugh and enjoy it.

01:00:31.000 You get people like Hassan.

01:00:33.000 He's a socialist and he buys a multi-million dollar property.

01:00:36.000 He advocates for policies to destroy the working class and the middle class.

01:00:40.000 And then he uses that wealth to buy fanciful and grandiose things.

01:00:45.000 They are both part of a faction that advocate for censorship of people they don't like, and they get away with it.

01:00:51.000 Now, in the end, even if they come out and they're like, oh, we're being edgy, we're making jokes, and we agree they should be allowed to, the problem is, these people would laugh when you got banned, and we here today are defending their right to free speech.

01:01:01.000 And they do.

01:01:01.000 As someone who has dealt with a lot of censorship and banned from companies, I'm well aware that yes, it pleases the

01:01:09.000 other side when they see it. And again, we get banned for sneezing. The reality is we get banned

01:01:13.000 for things and they refuse to tell you what you did. Because they don't want to put that in

01:01:17.000 writing. That happened to us recently.

01:01:19.000 I want to point out that people are mentioning this too. No, Ethan Klein is Jewish, right?

01:01:23.000 He is, yes. Ashkenazi. 0.90

01:01:24.000 Yeah, yeah. 0.62

01:01:26.000 Him saying this, I understand the point he's trying to make, but it's just like such a disgusting and vile and insane thing to say. 0.88

01:01:35.000 I'm just crazy. 0.98

01:01:37.000 You know, look, I think he and all the other psychopaths should be allowed to express this so we know who the crazy people are. 0.94

01:01:45.000 My point here is just the double standard.

01:01:47.000 We would have, when I was administrating at Minds, we would have these weird situations every once in a while come up where like someone, and it didn't happen much and it didn't happen to a point where I felt really bad about it, but like a really popular person on the website would do something that violated the terms of service or that I thought was like, whoa, this is coming close.

01:02:04.000 And I'm like, what do I do?

01:02:05.000 Do I ban our cash cow? 1.00

01:02:06.000 Because the reason Minds is solvent right now is because we have a lot of views.

01:02:10.000 The reason we have a lot of views is because of our popular video makers.

01:02:14.000 Do I ban the one, the biggest cash cow? 1.00

01:02:16.000 And it's like, if I don't, then I'm letting fascism take over.

01:02:18.000 I'm letting the money and the corporation take my morals and ethics away.

01:02:23.000 And if I do, then the company goes under.

01:02:25.000 What are my two choices here?

01:02:28.000 That's a weird position to be in as an administrator.

01:02:31.000 When I said people were censored for sneezing the wrong way, I wasn't kidding.

01:02:35.000 As you were mentioning, Seth, people got censored, people got banned, people got their whole livelihoods deleted because of vague terms and services that were just there.

01:02:44.000 And then people are like, wait, what exactly did you destroy my livelihood for?

01:02:49.000 No, we're not going to tell you.

01:02:50.000 We just have these vague rules with these overgeneralizations, and we're going to punish you because you expressed political thoughts that we don't like.

01:02:57.000 And it's not like they even give you any kind of ability to redeem yourself.

01:03:01.000 It's not like they give you any kind of ability to fix your problem, no.

01:03:05.000 But we have this on the other spectrum.

01:03:07.000 And again, I used to watch Ethan Klein many years ago.

01:03:10.000 He was interesting, he was creative, he actually did content that was engaging.

01:03:14.000 And I don't know what happened to the guy, but it's sad to kind of see this

01:03:20.000 because this could also be an attempt to try to get attention,

01:03:22.000 to try to say something shocking so more people pay attention to you.

01:03:25.000 We are talking about him right now, but I think he is straight off a long way from where he was before, where he actually was enjoying this.

01:03:34.000 He definitely doesn't look like he's enjoying this.

01:03:37.000 I wish the guy luck.

01:03:38.000 I wish he could get in shape.

01:03:41.000 I'll tell you what it is.

01:03:42.000 I think it's simple.

01:03:43.000 It's not good watching this.

01:03:45.000 Politics is pop culture.

01:03:47.000 For somebody like me, my whole life has been politics.

01:03:50.000 When I was a little kid, I worked at my family's business, it was on North Halsted, it was Boys Town in Chicago, so all of a sudden I'm hearing all about these issues with LGBT pride and stuff like that.

01:04:00.000 I start listening to punk music, all the lyrics are about war and politics, and all of a sudden I'm on the internet, I've been on the internet my whole life, I'm a little kid, and I'm seeing all of this news just inundated with it.

01:04:11.000 I work for non-profits.

01:04:12.000 I do fundraising.

01:04:12.000 It's all activism.

01:04:13.000 I eventually start covering protests on the ground.

01:04:16.000 My whole life is politics.

01:04:17.000 That leads us to where we are right now.

01:04:20.000 Talking about issues that I've talked about my entire life.

01:04:23.000 Having me be able to remember weird things from back in the early 2000s when most people weren't paying attention to politics at all.

01:04:30.000 Ethan Klein was a comedy edgy YouTuber, and then at some point, pop culture turned into politics, which was huge for us.

01:04:40.000 All of a sudden, me, I just talk about politics all the time, Getting a bunch more viewers, rivaling some of the biggest entertainment podcasts, even Joe Rogan is now a largely political show, even though he's a comedian.

01:04:52.000 Ethan Klein needs to adapt.

01:04:53.000 He needs to start adopting politics, otherwise he's becoming stale and not current.

01:04:59.000 Right?

01:04:59.000 The news, Trump, Trump, Trump, that's all it was.

01:05:01.000 This is what happened to everyone, it's not just him.

01:05:04.000 Now, he has Jordan Peterson on his show.

01:05:08.000 What happens?

01:05:09.000 For the most part, it's fine.

01:05:11.000 But over time, he starts feeling the heat because his fan base was mixed politically because it was edgy comedy.

01:05:17.000 And now, as time's changing, a large portion of his base, probably skewing younger, they start getting angrier and more self-righteous.

01:05:25.000 So he deletes the Jordan Peterson episodes.

01:05:27.000 He apologizes that it was wrong.

01:05:29.000 Makes no sense.

01:05:30.000 And now he's like, if I'm going to be relevant, we have to talk politics.

01:05:34.000 And thus, Ethan Klein, who knows almost nothing about politics, is having a conversation with Ben Shapiro, who has been a political commentator for decades and has a law degree.

01:05:45.000 There's clearly a problem here with politics becoming pop culture. 0.58

01:05:50.000 Someone who has no idea what's going on saying they hope someone who is overtly political gets killed first in a new holocaust is just absolutely insane.

01:05:59.000 But he's entitled to his opinion, he's entitled to try and make his show political, and it's clear that he just went, meh, modern leftist woke whatever, it's the easy route. 0.59

01:06:08.000 When you don't really know what's going on, it's simple.

01:06:10.000 You believe Jussie Smollett, which most of these leftists do.

01:06:13.000 You believe Ukrainegate. 0.97

01:06:15.000 You believe Russiagate.

01:06:16.000 You believe Trayvon... Hands up, don't shoot.

01:06:19.000 Covington Catholic.

01:06:20.000 I love saying the list over and over again.

01:06:22.000 Bobo Wallace.

01:06:24.000 The Garage Polaroid.

01:06:25.000 They love believing this stuff because they are low-information individuals.

01:06:28.000 But they're also extremely dangerous, violent, and angry people.

01:06:33.000 They want you to just fit in.

01:06:36.000 The crowd is doing it.

01:06:37.000 Why won't you?

01:06:38.000 Everyone is saying this is the truth.

01:06:40.000 Why won't you?

01:06:41.000 Well, because there is a truth.

01:06:43.000 I don't care what you think it is.

01:06:44.000 Two plus two equals four, not five. 1.00

01:06:47.000 Shut up. 0.95

01:06:47.000 I kind of will double down that I think with There's a saying, with great power comes great responsibility, and with 10 million followers, that's a sense, that's a form of great power. 0.95

01:06:58.000 And so the things you would say with your friends in your bedroom or in your living room when you're playing, you know, Super Nintendo or whatever the hell, insults, dirty jokes, you don't say that to 10 million people on TV because You have a greater responsibility not to be derogatory.

01:07:13.000 I know you want to, because it's natural.

01:07:15.000 It's who you were in the past.

01:07:16.000 Ethan, particularly, probably, probably like me, would joke, you know, insult your friends as comedy, but like, this is taking on another level, brother.

01:07:25.000 I don't like to talk about other commenters, you know?

01:07:27.000 I mention this from time to time, like, I don't know, Young Turks talks about me all the time, but they'll talk about me saying something like Benall, like, you know, I think some women might be unhappy because they want to have families, and then they make this big segment about Tim Pool's a sexist, and I'm like, oh, come on, dude, calm down, I was reading the Washington Post.

01:07:43.000 This is a high-profile podcast which gets tens of millions of views saying, I hope Ben, I don't even want to read it.

01:07:50.000 I mean, it's just like, come on, dude.

01:07:52.000 That's crazy.

01:07:53.000 There's also kind of the Britney Spears effect when it comes to online influencers and a lot of celebrities who take themselves too seriously. 0.94

01:08:00.000 I'm not saying that that's what's happening with Ethan Klein, but there is, you know, a lot of people who are in the digital space, who are influenced by the bots, by the comments, and by the people who are part of this, and you do see detrimental mental health effects to this.

01:08:16.000 Is this maybe potentially one of the examples here?

01:08:18.000 I don't know, but this is art unhinged, very emotional language that I don't think the average person is going to be okay with.

01:08:29.000 Ladies and gentlemen, crack your beers now because I'm going to say it, Civil War.

01:08:34.000 This is the kind of stuff that I talk about.

01:08:37.000 I mean, look, when security experts say, we fear it's coming, when Princeton professors, former CIA, when they're all like, we think we're in the beginning stages of a civil war, and then a guy who used to make comedy videos where he would push out his fupa and pull his chin down and then run around his house as a gag is now saying that he hopes Ben Shapiro is gassed.

01:09:03.000 Yeah, listen.

01:09:05.000 Do you see the radicalization over the past 10 years?

01:09:08.000 Do you see why I might think we're heading to that place?

01:09:10.000 Ethan Klein, for no reason, there is no reason why he, an edgy comedy YouTuber, should be saying anything about Ben Shapiro or holocausts or politics.

01:09:21.000 But this is what's happened with the radicalization in this country.

01:09:23.000 That's why I'm like, That's why I think we're going to sit to it. We're heading

01:09:27.000 towards a civil war or we're in a cold civil war, whatever you want to call it.

01:09:30.000 When comedy edgy boys turn into advocates for, and like, let me just stress, they tried stopping him.

01:09:39.000 And then he was like, no, no, no. And then he said it anyway.

01:09:41.000 Like, when you get to that point, maybe everything's about to break apart.

01:09:45.000 Well, I agree that it's like a radical form of radicalization.

01:09:49.000 What's happening is society is very stressful for a lot of people right now with inflation, with Ukraine, with all this crazy stuff going on.

01:09:54.000 If you don't know the specifics, if you don't understand that Hunter Biden was involved with Burisma, for instance, that Biden's had, you might just look at it and be freaking out and then lashing out, which is what Ethan's doing.

01:10:05.000 He's obviously stressed about society like we are, but we study the intricate details about geopolitics So I'm not getting radicalized, like, if I didn't understand what was going on, I'd be freaking out, screaming at people, lashing out, and I think if he...

01:10:20.000 If you were to be more educated, you may be less radical.

01:10:23.000 His FUPA work?

01:10:24.000 Great work.

01:10:25.000 I want to jump to this story, and I want to highlight something specific, but the story from NPR.

01:10:31.000 Ukrainians keep a wary eye on U.S.

01:10:34.000 midterm elections fearing a loss of support.

01:10:36.000 And I say, good.

01:10:37.000 Because I watched something on Reddit.

01:10:40.000 I didn't want to watch it.

01:10:41.000 I was scrolling Reddit all, and within one or two pages, I came across a video.

01:10:48.000 And I didn't read the caption.

01:10:49.000 I just saw the video and it was a guy in military gear curled up in the fetal position in a foxhole.

01:10:57.000 And then I'm like, what's, what's this?

01:10:58.000 And then all of a sudden, a grenade just falls from the overhead view.

01:11:01.000 Oh, it was a drone carrying a grenade.

01:11:04.000 The grenade lands in the hole and then you see it go off and the body gets shocked.

01:11:09.000 And then this soldier starts writhing and crawling and struggling to move like an ant under a magnifying glass.

01:11:16.000 And then the video jumps again.

01:11:18.000 This time there's three people in a foxhole.

01:11:21.000 And then you see a grenade fall right down, land right next to someone's side, and then boom, flash, the bodies jostle.

01:11:28.000 Then you see a man get up, writhing in agony and covered in blood, shaking profusely, and I got really angry and I really wanted to just throw my phone at the wall.

01:11:38.000 Why did Reddit put that in front of my face?

01:11:41.000 Am I supposed to celebrate that the evil Russian invaders were being blown up in front of me? 1.00

01:11:46.000 That when I go to a social media website with no NotSafeForWork tags, that's what you want me to watch? 0.98

01:11:52.000 The people who are advocating for the US to be involved in this are psychopaths. 0.79

01:11:58.000 I don't like Russia for invading, and I'm not going to cheer for someone being blown up. 0.95

01:12:02.000 But this is what we're seeing.

01:12:04.000 So if the midterms mean we cut ties and we end support for a war we shouldn't be involved in at this point?

01:12:10.000 Good. 1.00

01:12:11.000 I'm sick of this disgusting garbage. 1.00

01:12:14.000 It's these stupid people on the left blindly marching behind war. 1.00

01:12:18.000 Yeah, I just watched They Shall Not Grow Old last night. 1.00

01:12:20.000 It's a Peter Jackson documentary.

01:12:22.000 Basically, we took old World War One footage, black and white footage, and colorized it and added sound.

01:12:27.000 And you see these young 18, 17, 16 year olds that signed up for the war are so excited.

01:12:32.000 The brotherhood being together, working for a common purpose.

01:12:35.000 And then they get to the, you see, watch them march to the They're in the trenches where people, it's mud, they're falling, they're freezing, their feet are getting frozen off.

01:12:43.000 Then they tell them to go up over the top and charge the machine gun nests.

01:12:46.000 It's the first time they've ever seen machine guns, they don't even know what they are.

01:12:49.000 So they start walking, they're not even running, they're walking, but there's no machine guns.

01:12:53.000 They're like, what's going on?

01:12:54.000 Maybe the Germans aren't ready. 0.99

01:12:55.000 The Germans are waiting for them to get into range, and then they open up. 1.00

01:12:58.000 And they see their friends, the British, they're getting arms blown off, legs getting blown off, dudes getting their heads exploded, and they're laying They get hit, they keep, this is the, this isn't, they didn't know modern war.

01:13:11.000 They didn't understand modern military technology.

01:13:12.000 Now foxholes are no good anymore because drones can drop a grenade in them.

01:13:16.000 This is, this is, this is always war.

01:13:19.000 They never underestimate the new tactics and strategies.

01:13:21.000 Sorry, you were going to say.

01:13:22.000 One of my, my first job when I was 15 years old working in a hardware store, there was an old guy that worked there and come to find out he was on Iwo Jima.

01:13:31.000 And he never spoke about his war experiences or anything like that.

01:13:35.000 People would ask him stuff and he'd essentially blow it off and he'd be gone.

01:13:39.000 And I was 15 years old, so it's been a long time now, and for some reason just one day he opened up and he described landing on the beach.

01:13:51.000 and running over the bodies parts and it wasn't bodies it was body parts of his friends and it's like he he just like clicked and it's this moment it was like for a minute or two he just described it and he kept talking about the smell And it was just incredible to see someone say that and relive that in his mind.

01:14:09.000 His name was Jack Lockett.

01:14:10.000 A true American hero.

01:14:13.000 But to hear that from him, it's left an impact on me to this day.

01:14:17.000 It's been a long time.

01:14:17.000 The smell.

01:14:18.000 The smell of explosives?

01:14:20.000 No.

01:14:20.000 Well, the smell of decay.

01:14:22.000 Not at first, you don't smell it, but then they start to decay.

01:14:24.000 Yeah, they were there for quite a few days or weeks.

01:14:26.000 Then they start to turn black.

01:14:27.000 As much as the smell, it's also an energy.

01:14:30.000 A lot of other things happening when it comes to human beings and the soul, even the physical body.

01:14:37.000 Scientists haven't been able to explain it, but there's a phenomenon that does happen that is absolutely, you know, indescribable in many instances.

01:14:46.000 But we also have to understand war is hell.

01:14:48.000 This is hell on earth.

01:14:49.000 This is what a lot of people, you know, are in.

01:14:53.000 This is what the mainstream media is cheering for. 1.00

01:14:55.000 This is what politicians are financing and funding with your money right now, and it's absolutely egregious and it's absolutely stupid. 0.94

01:15:01.000 I watch, you know, a lot of the footage coming from the Russians, coming from the Ukrainians to try to get a fair, balanced perspective about what's really going on in this conflict, and it's predominantly drone-on-drone warfare. 0.94

01:15:13.000 Drones blowing up drones, drones flying with grenades, drones reconning, getting positions, and then having, of course, missiles strike those specific positions where soldiers are at.

01:15:22.000 And very few instances have I've seen soldiers to soldiers actually fight each other.

01:15:26.000 It's all done through robots.

01:15:28.000 It's all done through machines.

01:15:30.000 And seeing this new modern warfare, Which we were conditioned to through the video games, which also have you flying drones and flying all these carts and sending in airstrikes, is absolutely terrifying.

01:15:43.000 Because you see the horror, you see the chaos, and it's not up close, it's not face-to-face like it was in World War I. It's far away, and people are just pressing buttons, killing and eliminating each other.

01:15:53.000 Imagine that you're 20 years old, And, uh, hey Gen Z, I want you to imagine this. 0.86

01:16:00.000 And your government calls you to war.

01:16:02.000 They say, we have no choice.

01:16:05.000 We are at war with a great enemy, and you must go fight.

01:16:09.000 So you resist.

01:16:10.000 And then one day, when you're sneaking out of your friend's basement because you don't want to fight, A couple of cops see you, chase you down, grab you, and you get shipped off to the front line.

01:16:22.000 You're at the front line in Ukraine.

01:16:24.000 Put the helmet on, put on the gear, you have no time for training, this is war.

01:16:28.000 So you're pushed out into the middle of the field, and you're hiding in a hole, crying, saying, why am I here, when a grenade lands on you and blows up.

01:16:35.000 That's what's happening to these people.

01:16:37.000 Many of these people fighting for Russia are conscripts.

01:16:40.000 I'm not saying what Russia is doing is good.

01:16:41.000 Obviously, I'm saying it's bad.

01:16:43.000 But to watch videos of these people, and then we're supposed to cheer on this psychotic propaganda.

01:16:49.000 How about this?

01:16:50.000 The US should not be involved in this.

01:16:52.000 NATO should not be involved in this.

01:16:53.000 NATO should take care of itself.

01:16:54.000 Ukraine is not a NATO member, not an EU member state.

01:16:56.000 They're trying to be, but only after the war started.

01:16:59.000 And we should say, you know what?

01:17:00.000 We shouldn't be involved in a border dispute with a nuclear-armed state. 1.00

01:17:04.000 And then we would have to deal with this psychotic garbage. 0.98

01:17:07.000 And again, what we're seeing, that drone footage, is just one of dozens of videos that come out every single day. 0.98

01:17:15.000 And it's not just the Russians being hit.

01:17:16.000 It's also the Ukrainians being hit. 0.99

01:17:18.000 It's also Russians sending in missiles into civilian areas, hitting buildings where people are just trying to live their lives.

01:17:24.000 War hits both ways.

01:17:25.000 And this is how all war plays out.

01:17:27.000 Every time there's a war, both sides figure something out.

01:17:31.000 Hey, they did this thing.

01:17:33.000 Technology advances.

01:17:34.000 Tactics.

01:17:35.000 I'm sorry.

01:17:36.000 Technology advances.

01:17:37.000 Tactics advance.

01:17:38.000 And then when the new war breaks out, like Ian was mentioning, they're in the trenches saying charge, and all of a sudden there's machine guns mowing them down.

01:17:45.000 Because tactics change slower than the technology.

01:17:47.000 But technology changes.

01:17:48.000 So I actually have a Civil War bullet.

01:17:51.000 It's a Gardner bullet.

01:17:52.000 I think it's .58 caliber.

01:17:54.000 And it's a fascinating... I got it at the Stonewall Museum.

01:18:00.000 And it's got some interesting facts on it.

01:18:02.000 It said that, for the most part, muskets were smoothbore.

01:18:06.000 Very inaccurate.

01:18:08.000 Effective only up to about 100 yards.

01:18:10.000 I believe it was 100 yards.

01:18:12.000 Smoothbore! 0.96

01:18:13.000 So you'd point it and fire, and it'd go wildly in the wrong direction.

01:18:16.000 At some point before the Civil War, we get rifled muskets.

01:18:23.000 So now, for those that don't know, rifling, and the reason why they're called rifles, is because the inside of the barrel has a small spiral groove.

01:18:30.000 So when the bullet is fired, it spins dramatically, increasing accuracy, tripling or quadrupling the range of your standard musket.

01:18:39.000 When the Civil War broke out, neither side truly understood what that meant and used conventional war tactics like bayonet charges.

01:18:47.000 And then, with a maximized accuracy, we saw one of the bloodiest wars we've ever seen.

01:18:52.000 This is what happens when new war breaks out with technological advancement.

01:18:56.000 Now that we have a massive global population and technology is advancing quite dramatically, it's not going to be nuclear war you should be fearing.

01:19:03.000 It should be the top secret, classified weaponry they haven't told you about which is going to be even more nightmarish.

01:19:09.000 It'll be hacked drones, flown over civilian targets, like your family, if that's what you're... What Modern Warfare Call of Duty doesn't show you is the drone getting hacked and getting flown over Los Angeles.

01:19:21.000 Yeah, you could hack drones in Modern Warfare.

01:19:24.000 There's also hives, like small little drones that are also developed already, that could launch attacks on individuals and have little explosives on them and have bullets on them.

01:19:33.000 The technology that they have right now is absolutely insane, and we don't know much about it.

01:19:38.000 Oh, bro, listen.

01:19:39.000 the uh... a small a small drone probably about this big can carry a shotgun shell

01:19:45.000 twelve gauge or whatever and it can be uh... 0.95

01:19:48.000 with uh... what was it called luca flash it flint for over which i was a little shit 0.95

01:19:53.000 medical skills are not a slug Spread. 0.97

01:19:57.000 Razor blades. 0.90

01:19:57.000 Oh. 0.90

01:19:58.000 Sharp piece of metal.

01:19:59.000 I think those are flechettes.

01:20:00.000 Flechette.

01:20:01.000 And so, that little tiny drone can fly up to you and go, what's that?

01:20:04.000 And then it bang!

01:20:05.000 And sprays metal shards all over the place, blinding and scarring people.

01:20:10.000 Yeah, maybe.

01:20:11.000 It's just insane, the level of technology.

01:20:14.000 It's not going to be fun.

01:20:15.000 But I'll tell you, man, one thing they don't show you in Call of Duty is the 20-year-old crying because he was conscripted by his government to fight in a war and he doesn't want to be there, and then... Well, then his officer is like, if you turn around, I'm going to shoot you.

01:20:28.000 Go.

01:20:29.000 Over the edge now.

01:20:29.000 March.

01:20:30.000 Yep.

01:20:30.000 Literally.

01:20:31.000 And they also don't show you your friends getting wounded and screaming in pain for 20 minutes, or for four hours, waiting, because you can't get to them.

01:20:38.000 There's going to be a handful of Gen Z-ers because they lean very heavily Democrat.

01:20:42.000 There's going to be two.

01:20:42.000 Let me tell you a story of two Gen Z-ers.

01:20:45.000 Let's say they're 22 years old.

01:20:47.000 One's a staunch Democrat who loves watching H3 and agrees with Ethan Klein about Ben Shapiro and all that other nonsense, watches Hasan Piker.

01:20:55.000 And so he's like, you know what?

01:20:56.000 We gotta stop Russia. 0.86

01:20:58.000 We gotta stop them.

01:20:59.000 So they say, I'm gonna vote Democrat.

01:21:01.000 Not like the Republicans are that much better, but at the very least with Trump, he opposes this stuff.

01:21:06.000 Well, that person has a friend.

01:21:07.000 The friend doesn't know, doesn't care, and doesn't pay attention.

01:21:10.000 But lo and behold, the war escalates, NATO gets involved, and the U.S.

01:21:15.000 says, we have not been able to replenish our forces to a degree where we could actually fight and win.

01:21:22.000 So we're going to reenact the draft.

01:21:25.000 These 22-year-olds, let's say it's in a few years, so they're 18 today, they both find themselves on the front lines.

01:21:31.000 And one is saying, why is the one friend, friend B, who never paid attention and just doesn't care, is saying, I wish I paid attention and could have done something about this.

01:21:41.000 And the other friend says, well, actually, I kind of voted for it.

01:21:44.000 And then the bomb goes off and they both explode.

01:21:46.000 You know, I was thinking, where are our strongmen sociologically in the world right now?

01:21:50.000 What happened?

01:21:50.000 Why are people so latching on to Donald Trump and Jordan Peterson?

01:21:54.000 Why do they need a father figure?

01:21:55.000 You know why?

01:21:55.000 Put a tack in that?

01:21:57.000 Well, it's because they were sent to Afghanistan in 2005.

01:22:00.000 They had their lives destroyed.

01:22:01.000 It's a good point, but put a pin in that, because I want to launch the news story, which leads into what you're saying.

01:22:07.000 From TimCast.com, new report finds U.S.

01:22:09.000 military is weak, unable to win a single major regional conflict.

01:22:14.000 Analysis identified profound lack of seriousness as a contributing factor to the U.S.

01:22:18.000 military's decline.

01:22:19.000 Ian, you were just talking about a lack of strongmen.

01:22:22.000 Yeah, I was wondering where they are, why societies obsessed with people like Donald Trump and Jordan Peterson, these men that are giving young children guidance like the heroes of our lives, and it's because they were sent to Afghanistan and Iraq on a false premise that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, which he didn't have.

01:22:40.000 They were lied, went to fight an unjust war, had their psychology destroyed knowing that they were fighting some false narrative, and then their bodies blown apart, their friends destroyed, and now they're shaken.

01:22:52.000 And our leaders are absent.

01:22:54.000 They're supposed to be leading the nation right now, and instead we got Fauci.

01:23:01.000 Joe, 86-year-old president, how old is this guy now?

01:23:04.000 84 years old, and he's supposed to be our military commander?

01:23:07.000 I think when you talk about where did the strong men go, and I understand your point there too, but something else that I like to harp on a little bit is testosterone.

01:23:16.000 If you look at what's happened to male testosterone over the years, it's nearly half of what it was 50 years ago.

01:23:23.000 So men today are not the same men of 50 years ago.

01:23:28.000 And so I think that that might explain a little bit about where we're at.

01:23:32.000 And I think that people, until people start realizing and addressing that, it's not going to change.

01:23:37.000 Most 20 year olds have the same testosterone levels as 50 and 60 year olds.

01:23:40.000 PFAs, huh?

01:23:42.000 PFAs, phthalates, PCBs.

01:23:45.000 Look at this, glass bottle water right here.

01:23:48.000 Marco Rubio small water.

01:23:50.000 Our soldiers are some of the most badass humans on earth, those dudes.

01:23:52.000 Every time I meet a returning, I don't know, did you serve in the military?

01:23:56.000 No.

01:23:56.000 But every time I have an opportunity to talk to someone that's actually seen combat or experienced that, it's so valuable to the human consciousness to understand what that is.

01:24:07.000 And those people, to put their lives on the line like that.

01:24:11.000 But, to have gone through a false war, I mean, I don't know, would you call that a false flag?

01:24:15.000 If the government says, he has weapons of mass destruction, you go in, he doesn't?

01:24:19.000 Yeah, they said it was, they had bad info, George Bush Jr.

01:24:22.000 is like, we had bad intelligence.

01:24:24.000 Well, you know what?

01:24:24.000 It's on you, George!

01:24:26.000 They didn't even go through a false flag, they just claimed it was.

01:24:29.000 And then it wasn't.

01:24:30.000 It was like the next level of false flag.

01:24:33.000 There was people within the government that came out and said, hey, there's no WMDs here.

01:24:37.000 They were silenced.

01:24:38.000 They were shunned.

01:24:39.000 They were threatened.

01:24:40.000 There was media organizations.

01:24:41.000 There was activists coming forward.

01:24:43.000 Hey, hey, this is not true.

01:24:44.000 This is not happening.

01:24:45.000 Shunned.

01:24:45.000 Silenced.

01:24:46.000 Called crazy.

01:24:46.000 They should have just come out and been like, ladies and gentlemen, Saddam Hussein is trying to trade oil in Euro.

01:24:52.000 And then people would be like, huh?

01:24:53.000 We need you to mobilize like stormtroopers and invade and conquer their land.

01:24:57.000 Imagine how no one would have done it.

01:24:59.000 People would have would have revolted.

01:25:00.000 They would have said, no, we're not invaders, dude.

01:25:04.000 You say that, but I don't know that they would revolt.

01:25:06.000 I think what you're saying is maybe the right thing, but I don't know that the people would have revolted.

01:25:10.000 They would have worn the mask and done as they're told, like most Republicans did and quote unquote conservatives did and shut down their country and done whatever the hell the government told them.

01:25:18.000 People are sheep.

01:25:19.000 Yeah, but that's with an excuse.

01:25:21.000 Like, if we told people the truth about Iraq, then they would not... You could have kind of had the truth on the pandemic early on. 0.98

01:25:27.000 I guess my point is, a lot of the people that even speak out and claim they're conservative, this, that, and the other, The vast majority of people are followers.

01:25:35.000 This is because the pandemic rolls around and our male adult leaders are broken from their service in the military.

01:25:41.000 Those are the guys that are supposed to be in Congress right now running the show.

01:25:45.000 These are the leaders.

01:25:45.000 They're the ones that are the brave ones.

01:25:47.000 I struggle with that.

01:25:48.000 If you think that just because someone's in the military makes them a great leader, then that means we've got barracks full of future presidents.

01:25:55.000 I'm just saying, so if you look at a lot of this, I'm going to get canceled on this.

01:25:59.000 I was about to say, you got John McCain, you got Dan Crenshaw.

01:26:02.000 If you do, they are, unless you're maybe the true generals and stuff like this, they're kind of used to following orders from the government, and that doesn't always equal the best congressman.

01:26:11.000 I know I'm getting canceled.

01:26:12.000 I'm sorry, everyone.

01:26:14.000 They make great politicians, you know?

01:26:16.000 That's a great point.

01:26:16.000 The multinational corporations and the big bankers are their generals, and they just follow the order.

01:26:21.000 I don't want to, I want to clarify, I don't think that being in the military makes you a great leader, but I think that great leaders are drawn to military command.

01:26:29.000 And when you find out that you've been commanding a military on a false premise and you've been kicking in doors in Fallujah and killing families like- Okay, do you assume the same with the police though?

01:26:40.000 No.

01:26:41.000 No, I don't know much.

01:26:41.000 They're different systems to me.

01:26:43.000 I think putting your life, going and willing to fight, like, and kill people.

01:26:48.000 But why are you assuming that's what the military is?

01:26:50.000 See, Ian, you don't understand what the military is.

01:26:52.000 Some people are like, I want money, all right?

01:26:55.000 I want to be subsidized.

01:26:58.000 Guys, guys, guys.

01:26:59.000 Enlisted youth.

01:26:59.000 There's no one in this room who's a veteran, okay?

01:27:02.000 Right?

01:27:02.000 Not a single person.

01:27:03.000 I stayed at Holiday Inn last night, though.

01:27:05.000 And the most I can say is that I've spent a few months a couple different times on military bases.

01:27:12.000 But let me tell you, a lot of it is just administrative work.

01:27:15.000 So assuming that someone joining the military, army, navy, whatever it is, is fighting is wrong.

01:27:21.000 Yeah, but some people are in support of the fighting, it's one or the other.

01:27:24.000 Yeah, but bro, someone might be like a refrigerator repairman in Nebraska.

01:27:28.000 That's repairing refrigerators for the troops in Afghanistan that are killing... No, no, no!

01:27:33.000 Dude, come on!

01:27:35.000 Yeah, they're keeping the administration going.

01:27:37.000 The point I'm trying to make is, when you say that, if you want to make a point about people who have seen combat, it's different from the military in general.

01:27:44.000 No, no, I'm talking about command structure, basically.

01:27:47.000 Somebody who repaired refrigerators in Nebraska is no different than a private refrigerator repairman.

01:27:53.000 I mean, I guess with the basic training... Yeah, but great leaders aren't drawn... I'm not saying maybe you're a refrigerator repairman and you are a great leader, but usually great leaders are drawn to military command.

01:28:00.000 Like, they want to protect and serve the world.

01:28:03.000 I think maybe you're picturing people of the past that, maybe the World War II era, Military veterans, which a lot of them did see combat if you were in World War II, and equating that to what today is, but I just don't see it today.

01:28:16.000 Bro, when a 22-year-old gets a commission and then outranks a 45-year-old NCO, those are funny scenarios that I've seen as just someone as a family member What is it called?

01:28:32.000 The commissary?

01:28:33.000 Is that what they call them?

01:28:34.000 I don't know.

01:28:34.000 I just have family members and I'm buying food and I hear the grumbling from the guy who's a non-commissioned officer being like, why is a 22-year-old giving me the business?

01:28:43.000 Oh, then he's got a bad commander.

01:28:44.000 a good 22 year old...

01:28:45.000 I broke, come on!

01:28:47.000 A good 22 year old commander will defer to his NCO.

01:28:50.000 No!

01:28:51.000 Yes, a good one will because he doesn't always do his green.

01:28:54.000 No, they outrank him!

01:28:55.000 Yeah, but you still, as your commander, you deferred the guy with the experience in real life.

01:28:59.000 Right now the military is training guys how to wear heels, right?

01:29:04.000 This...

01:29:04.000 That's literally what's happening right now.

01:29:07.000 Society has been shattered by the war in Iraq.

01:29:08.000 Okay, I think maybe you can put part of the blame on the war in Iraq, but I'm just,

01:29:14.000 you know, there's a, I think a lot of other factors that come into play.

01:29:17.000 And I do think, you know, kind of my point about the police versus the military, you don't have the same belief in police that are willing to put their lives on the line, etc.

01:29:26.000 I think you'd make a hard time jumping to just because it's military police is different.

01:29:31.000 Military command.

01:29:32.000 I'm talking about commanders.

01:29:33.000 The commanding force of our military is like some of the greatest humans on earth.

01:29:36.000 That's why they're in charge of our military.

01:29:38.000 And we need those people in civilian life doing the same thing for our consciousness.

01:29:42.000 Are these the same people that you were earlier talking about committing the atrocities of sending drones over and killing people in frivolous wars? 0.99

01:29:48.000 Yeah, they were ordered by George Well, then you're not a damn leader! 0.98

01:29:51.000 You're not an effing leader if you do what the hell you were told because someone had a piece of brass on their shoulder. 0.98

01:29:56.000 Again, I know I'm getting canceled, I'm sorry.

01:29:57.000 But nonetheless, these people are still following orders.

01:30:00.000 And that to me, there's been a lot of horrific evil that's taken place in the world because of following orders.

01:30:06.000 And Donald Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, all of these presidents have the generals walk in and say, here's what we're going to do and why we have to do it.

01:30:13.000 And they say, OK.

01:30:15.000 Yep.

01:30:15.000 Donald Trump was very susceptible to just believing that generals were smart.

01:30:19.000 He put a lot of faith in the military and he really believed what they had to say.

01:30:22.000 And boy, did they screw him over.

01:30:23.000 Well, no.

01:30:24.000 And also, you know, Ivanka came in and Jared came in and they're like, we want you to bomb Syria. 0.82

01:30:28.000 Trump's like, OK, go bomb Syria.

01:30:30.000 And that's what Trump did.

01:30:31.000 That's according to Trump's own son, by the way, not just hearsay.

01:30:35.000 And look at what they did when Trump was like, you know what, I'm getting our troops out of Syria because I made a promise to the American people.

01:30:40.000 And they went, Oh, you got it, boss.

01:30:42.000 Don't do it.

01:30:43.000 And then they lied to us and claimed they did when they didn't.

01:30:45.000 I was watching video.

01:30:46.000 Well, I mentioned that they should not grow old.

01:30:47.000 And when you see returning troops get treated like garbage, like it just shatters their confidence and makes them unable to function in society.

01:30:54.000 Like it's for our troops to come back from Iraq and Afghanistan and be treated like they did something wrong is the worst morale destruction of our society.

01:31:02.000 I agree.

01:31:02.000 Yes, I agree.

01:31:03.000 But exactly what he's saying, you look back to Vietnam, the same thing.

01:31:06.000 And I don't think you could say that men were destroyed from being men after Vietnam.

01:31:11.000 Yeah, they were.

01:31:13.000 That generation was annihilated. 0.99

01:31:14.000 They had no confidence.

01:31:15.000 They were completely used and abused.

01:31:18.000 I understand that they were mistreated some of them when they got back, but I guess my point is you're saying that where did the men go, and I guess, so did we lose men being men after Vietnam, or did it happen after Iraq?

01:31:28.000 It happened after Iraq. 0.68

01:31:30.000 Our current society, this flawed narrative that we're struggling with right now as a result of a lack of male leadership, this idea that there's toxic masculinity.

01:31:38.000 I agree with that.

01:31:39.000 You guys want to hear a funny factoid?

01:31:41.000 Do you know why Smith is the most common last name?

01:31:45.000 Smith, Schmidt, and other forms of it?

01:31:48.000 Because whenever a war would break out, there was one group of people that would never be sent to war, and one group of people that would never be executed when a nation was conquered.

01:31:57.000 The people that can make things.

01:31:58.000 The blacksmiths.

01:31:59.000 Yes.

01:32:00.000 So when a war broke out, the blacksmiths, the smiths, would stay behind and make weapons.

01:32:05.000 If an enemy force took over that country or land, they would kill everyone but the smiths. 1.00

01:32:11.000 So the smiths kept having kids.

01:32:12.000 Yep, exactly.

01:32:13.000 That's right, because they were valuable.

01:32:16.000 You needed someone to make the weapons.

01:32:18.000 So, my point there is, the people who didn't see the war typically were the ones that propagated.

01:32:24.000 And, you know, I think, to your point, Ian, it's actually more than you realize.

01:32:28.000 Like, Vietnam, World War II, we had people come back from World War II, the greatest generation.

01:32:33.000 Vietnam was destructive. 0.64

01:32:35.000 I mean, people lost their minds.

01:32:36.000 And then you get Iraq and Afghanistan, and also, It's insanity at that point. 0.96

01:32:41.000 I mean, World War II, I think, for a lot of people, regardless of your politics, there was something really bad going on in this world.

01:32:48.000 And my understanding is the U.S.

01:32:49.000 didn't know the Holocaust was happening until after they got there.

01:32:51.000 That's true.

01:32:53.000 That's contended.

01:32:54.000 There's Polish... Contended? 1.00

01:32:57.000 Contested?

01:32:57.000 They knew about it.

01:32:58.000 Contended?

01:32:58.000 Let's figure this out.

01:32:59.000 I don't think contended makes sense.

01:33:00.000 I think it's both.

01:33:01.000 I think contended makes sense.

01:33:01.000 Are you both contending the contestant?

01:33:05.000 Listen, I'll make all the words up I want.

01:33:07.000 It's his truth.

01:33:08.000 So you think they knew?

01:33:09.000 Exactly, my truth.

01:33:10.000 They absolutely did know, and they were given intelligence, especially from Polish government officials, and there was a lot of photos, there was a lot of videos, and they had the opportunity to bomb the railroads, according to the history that I particularly saw, and decided not to.

01:33:23.000 And there was, you know, a lot of corruption within our government, and a lot of Nazis within our government, like Prescott Bush, that of course openly supported Hitler, along with, you know, the Rockefellers and other very powerful They definitely knew about it. 0.64

01:33:36.000 World War II was sort of a defensive war because Hitler had taken France at that point and the argument, they will try to make it look defensive, that's the whole thing. 0.56

01:33:45.000 We were attacked by Osama bin Laden, we must create a war. 1.00

01:33:48.000 No, that wasn't a defensive war, that was a war of aggression and they used some cheap pretext for it.

01:33:53.000 Watch out for the next one.

01:33:54.000 Definition of Cambridge English Dictionary, Tim.

01:33:57.000 Contended is a real word.

01:34:00.000 I know it's a real word, but it doesn't make sense in the context in which you applied it.

01:34:03.000 Re-agree the definition.

01:34:05.000 When you put rockets on the border of Russia, and then Russia invades to take care of those rockets, you can't call it a defensive war because Russia is the one that crossed the line. 0.53

01:34:13.000 You put the rockets right there on the other side.

01:34:16.000 It's not a war of defense right now.

01:34:19.000 It's just as aggro as Vietnam. 1.00

01:34:20.000 It's nuts.

01:34:21.000 Would America allow those weapons on the Mexican border? 0.51

01:34:24.000 Hell no! 0.93

01:34:25.000 Hell no! 0.93

01:34:26.000 And, like, Russia needs Black Sea access through Novosibirsk.

01:34:29.000 If Canada had our entire West Coast, had just a strip of land all down the West Coast, California, we didn't have any Pacific Coast access, we would have invaded to take that Pacific access.

01:34:38.000 I agree.

01:34:39.000 All right, we're gonna go to Super Chats.

01:34:40.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button?

01:34:43.000 Subscribe to this channel and share the show with your friends.

01:34:46.000 Become a member at TimCast.com.

01:34:47.000 We're gonna have a members-only show coming up for you about 11 p.m.

01:34:50.000 They're always good, fun, spicy, and uncensored.

01:34:52.000 We have a lot of news to talk about in the members-only show, so you don't wanna miss it.

01:34:56.000 But let's see what you got to say.

01:34:57.000 Potatoes for Seamus says, Tim and cast, great job on the latest Cast Castle.

01:35:03.000 I do think it was one of the best.

01:35:05.000 Some people have commented they're not fans, but hey, hold on.

01:35:07.000 Look, like I mentioned, we are not a major Hollywood production house.

01:35:12.000 The people acting on Cast Castle are quite literally just the employees who work here.

01:35:16.000 And we direct them and say, okay, say this, say this, and they can't always do it.

01:35:20.000 No beef!

01:35:21.000 You know, we're excited that we get to have fun and screw around and make these episodes.

01:35:25.000 So, we made it as offensive as we could.

01:35:28.000 No, we didn't.

01:35:28.000 We could have been way more offensive, but it was.

01:35:30.000 And I think Rusty Cage was absolutely brilliant.

01:35:33.000 If you guys aren't familiar with him, he's a big YouTuber, and he does really funny videos.

01:35:36.000 And he came in, and he was our sexual harassment trainer for the company.

01:35:42.000 But I'll just give you the gist of the episode.

01:35:44.000 Maybe you'll want to watch it.

01:35:45.000 The mistake occurs when someone says we need to have sexual harassment training, and instead of teaching people how not to do it, Rusty comes in and teaches them how to do it.

01:35:57.000 Yeah.

01:35:57.000 That's the joke.

01:35:58.000 And then a bunch of other stuff happens.

01:35:59.000 That's actually only the B-plot anyway, but it was very funny.

01:36:02.000 He's great.

01:36:03.000 Rusty's awesome.

01:36:03.000 Yeah, he was absolutely fantastic.

01:36:05.000 Check him out.

01:36:06.000 All right, Pirate Taurus second half says, Netflix users, I canceled my account months ago.

01:36:11.000 They continue to charge me two times a month, argued, refunded only 15 bucks, told to complain to my bank.

01:36:18.000 So they're reporting now that Netflix has jumped 2.4 million users.

01:36:21.000 And they're like, hey, they're rebounding.

01:36:23.000 And I'm like, no, they aren't.

01:36:24.000 They're cracking down on password sharing.

01:36:25.000 But I mean, good for them.

01:36:26.000 They're making more money.

01:36:27.000 But yeah, password sharing.

01:36:31.000 Cody Justin Fenton says, holy cow, a notification with this topic?

01:36:34.000 That's right, there you go.

01:36:35.000 Hey, there we go.

01:36:36.000 Finally notifications are going out, huh?

01:36:38.000 Yeah.

01:36:38.000 At least some people.

01:36:40.000 All right, Christina H says, did anyone else have a hard time canceling their PayPal account?

01:36:44.000 I had to argue with them a bit before they finally did.

01:36:47.000 PayPal cancelled me, so I didn't have to worry about it.

01:36:49.000 What happened?

01:36:50.000 You were mentioning a cancelling.

01:36:51.000 What happened exactly?

01:36:52.000 We've been cancelled by everybody, it seems like.

01:36:54.000 We're not allowed to order from Vistaprint.

01:36:57.000 They've told us we are out of bounds.

01:37:00.000 I guess they won't tell us why.

01:37:00.000 But the biggest thing that happened to us recently was, I'm going to name them, Klaviyo, who is our email provider.

01:37:07.000 They're a billion-dollar company.

01:37:08.000 I've been with them for approximately two and a half years.

01:37:11.000 Our last month with them, I spent, I think, about three grand with them.

01:37:14.000 I get an email saying your content, meaning our email content, violates our hateful content that encourages violence or some nonsense like this.

01:37:24.000 And of course I respond and say, oh, this is news to me.

01:37:28.000 Someone at the company must have done it other than myself.

01:37:30.000 Please shoot me an example of where this hateful content that promotes violence is and I will get this handled immediately.

01:37:36.000 And the response is, we can no longer discuss this matter.

01:37:38.000 You've got 30 days to get your stuff and go.

01:37:40.000 Well the thing is when you have an email like this cost our small company a lot of money and when our main way of communicating with customers is sending an email when we have new products whatever it may be and you lose yes I still can take my email list But I've lost so much data.

01:37:55.000 I know who wants to buy hoodies, and who wants to buy T-shirts, or who prefers whatever.

01:38:00.000 All that gets lost, and then I have to re-upload to a new email provider, and I'm no longer a trusted sender.

01:38:05.000 And we had great, incredible open rates for email, because people wanted to be on our list.

01:38:09.000 So you're starting from scratch, and getting sent to spam.

01:38:12.000 And it could put a lot of people out of business.

01:38:14.000 That's why you gotta get off PayPal.

01:38:16.000 I'll tell you right now, for those that are listening, a lot of people stayed with, so we used to use PayPal for our memberships.

01:38:23.000 Because when we start up the website, it was the easiest and fastest, and it was cheap.

01:38:27.000 We had a big burst of new users, so we immediately implemented Stripe.

01:38:31.000 Stripe has made much better guarantees.

01:38:33.000 We had a problem early on.

01:38:36.000 I sent a message to the CEO himself, and he quickly addressed it and apologized, and that's fantastic.

01:38:41.000 PayPal does not do that.

01:38:42.000 So I like Stripe.

01:38:43.000 Stripe's still far from perfect, though.

01:38:45.000 Locals uses them.

01:38:47.000 Locals, of course, was bought by Rumble.

01:38:48.000 And then, Rumble actually did one better.

01:38:51.000 Dan Bongino, I think to some degree Rumble invested, I'm not sure, launched Parallel Economy.

01:38:57.000 So what we did was, as soon as we could, it took some time, we got set up with Parallel Economy, that's Dan Bongino's financial transactions company.

01:39:05.000 Got rid of PayPal from the website, and now all default signups, all signups default through Parallel Economy.

01:39:11.000 It's Rumble Dan Bongino, because we are building the Parallel Economy.

01:39:15.000 And it's risky, there's risks with new companies.

01:39:17.000 I mean, we could, I mean, who knows?

01:39:19.000 Maybe the company doesn't make it, whatever, but I don't know.

01:39:21.000 It's more important.

01:39:22.000 Many users said, I don't care, I'll keep using PayPal.

01:39:26.000 You don't have to stop using it.

01:39:28.000 You can't sign up with it anymore.

01:39:30.000 A bunch of people, because of what happened recently, started switching off finally.

01:39:34.000 So, if you want to get off PayPal, then the easiest thing to do is just re-sign up with Parallel Economy and cancel your account with PayPal.

01:39:41.000 Or email members at TimCast.com and we will try and help you set it up.

01:39:46.000 Some people were really awesome.

01:39:48.000 We, it's not so easy just to transfer the account over, because if you already paid, like on the 1st and it's the 19th, we can't like, we can't issue prorates, it's not that easy to do.

01:39:57.000 But a lot of people are just like, consider it an extra contribution, and we're gonna help you out, so I really do appreciate it.

01:40:02.000 But for many people, we tried to find a way to do refunds.

01:40:05.000 I don't know if we can actually do it, because when you sign up, if we refund you at like, I think it might cancel the account or something, so I don't know, look.

01:40:12.000 All I know is we are trying to get away from PayPal and we're doing the best we can and I appreciate everybody who did switch over and uses Parallel Economy and I appreciate everybody who reached out to Parallel Economy to support them in any way.

01:40:23.000 I look forward to Parallel Economy launching little terminals and then we can open a coffee shop and we can use them for everything.

01:40:28.000 It'll be fantastic.

01:40:29.000 For the record, what's the name of your company that was censored via email?

01:40:32.000 FreedomSpeaksUp.com All right, we got Chaz Chartrand Mornin'.

01:40:39.000 Mornin' says, Ethan Klein has said some really effed up stuff about Ben recently.

01:40:42.000 Quartering did a video about it today.

01:40:44.000 It's just so weird, you know?

01:40:46.000 It is, yeah.

01:40:47.000 It's weird when people who have no business in politics all of a sudden become violent.

01:40:51.000 That's a crazy thing.

01:40:52.000 Yeah.

01:40:53.000 All right.

01:40:55.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:40:56.000 says, Tim, today's been an angry day. 0.97

01:40:58.000 After Ammon's story, after our electeds not caring if their actions sow death, after divisive media and lie after lie after lie, I was a fool for so long, now I'm pissed. 0.80

01:41:08.000 Yeah, I would feel that energy. 0.91

01:41:10.000 Ammon's Bundy's, the member episode we did last night with Ammon was crazy.

01:41:15.000 Because there was so much that I didn't know about his story.

01:41:17.000 A lot of people think that, like, you know, him and his family, like, had an armed standoff with police.

01:41:24.000 Nope.

01:41:24.000 Unarmed protesters.

01:41:25.000 It was a group of them with no weapons, peacefully standing and protesting.

01:41:29.000 And that was it.

01:41:30.000 But they were in the vicinity of people that were armed that hypothetically had pointed their weapons, although I don't know if there was proof of that.

01:41:36.000 But anyway, the entire case was dismissed.

01:41:38.000 The charges were dropped.

01:41:39.000 Right.

01:41:40.000 And then the first charges in Oregon, they got acquitted on.

01:41:44.000 And the second charges in Nevada, they proved prosecutorial misconduct.

01:41:48.000 The government was withholding evidence.

01:41:49.000 It's an insane corruption.

01:41:50.000 He was in solitary.

01:41:51.000 He was in prison for eight months without a... They were strip-searching him.

01:41:54.000 And then when he refused, they lied to the judge and claimed that he refused transport to his own trial.

01:42:01.000 So the judge calls him and then he's like, Your Honor, I'd like to make a verbal motion to mandate the prison transport me to my trial.

01:42:07.000 And she's like, wait, what?

01:42:08.000 They said you were rejecting that, and he's like, no, they're the ones doing it.

01:42:11.000 The whole thing was corrupt.

01:42:13.000 They said they were beating him.

01:42:14.000 Why are those people not in jail?

01:42:16.000 The ones that lied to the court.

01:42:17.000 Nazis, bro. 0.98

01:42:18.000 Those people need to be in jail. 1.00

01:42:19.000 Because it's illegal.

01:42:20.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:42:21.000 You're committing a crime against another human being at that point that's being kept in a prison.

01:42:26.000 It's incredible.

01:42:27.000 But those people continue to get away with it.

01:42:29.000 Like withholding evidence, I think.

01:42:31.000 I don't know the legalities of it.

01:42:32.000 But no one's going to prosecute them because they're on the right side.

01:42:36.000 Sari Forlot says, I can't wait for the FBI to raid Castcastle.

01:42:42.000 You know, I was thinking about it.

01:42:43.000 I was like, you know that journalist who went missing?

01:42:45.000 Should I, like, commission a very expensive, like, six-figure investigative piece?

01:42:49.000 And I'm like, the reality is it may turn out the dude left his wife or something and quit, retired, and went to the Bahamas.

01:42:56.000 You don't know. 0.99

01:42:57.000 So I'm like, no, we shouldn't do any stupid stunt. 0.99

01:42:59.000 But I imagine it's the journalistic work that would result in something like that. 0.98

01:43:03.000 Because, you know, James O'Keefe.

01:43:05.000 We'll see what happens.

01:43:07.000 Sideways says, wanted to know the metrics on the revamped Cast Castle.

01:43:11.000 I know there were some that complained about the changes, but hard numbers are good to have.

01:43:16.000 I don't have any.

01:43:17.000 Um, I don't know.

01:43:18.000 I don't, uh, the metrics with YouTube are easy.

01:43:20.000 You can see them.

01:43:21.000 But since we've shifted to the internal metrics, I actually don't know the metrics on our internal stuff.

01:43:26.000 And I don't really care.

01:43:27.000 I can tell you the metrics are, the metrics that matter are people are signing up and watching it.

01:43:31.000 And so, we're making enough money to keep doing it, and that's what matters.

01:43:35.000 When Cast Castle was a daily vlog on YouTube, it was losing lots and lots and lots of money, and we kept putting more and more money into it.

01:43:43.000 And it wasn't working.

01:43:44.000 And so I said, okay, we can cancel it outright and just stop making this stuff.

01:43:49.000 And there were some people who were like, fine.

01:43:51.000 And then I was like, or we could make once a week, longer episodes, do more skits that we want to do, and then make it a members thing and see if we can get enough members to sign up that will cover the cost.

01:44:02.000 Congratulations.

01:44:03.000 We have enough people who have signed up that's covered the costs.

01:44:06.000 That's all that really matters.

01:44:07.000 If we can afford it, we'll keep doing it.

01:44:08.000 I don't want to just cancel it for people who like it.

01:44:10.000 For people who don't like it, I don't know.

01:44:12.000 Sorry.

01:44:13.000 Some things cost money.

01:44:14.000 I mean, maybe, you know, there's a... Let me tell you a story.

01:44:17.000 Wendy's in the 2000s came out with something called the Smoky Cheeseburger.

01:44:21.000 And they had this sauce, the Smoky Sauce, they called it.

01:44:25.000 And boy, it was my favorite burger.

01:44:28.000 And nobody else liked it, so they got rid of it.

01:44:30.000 If you can't afford to make it, you're not gonna make it.

01:44:32.000 They're not gonna just keep it there for me.

01:44:34.000 So that's just the reality of business.

01:44:35.000 Yeah, I thought Arrested Development was a really good show, too, and then they canceled it.

01:44:39.000 But then they brought it back, because the internet loved it.

01:44:42.000 All right, let's see.

01:44:43.000 CJ McLean says, Tim, do you think a pro-choice The 20 Weeks Republican as president would help calm the division in this country?

01:44:50.000 No.

01:44:51.000 Maybe it might benefit to a certain degree, okay.

01:44:53.000 But I think the problem is, as you saw with the Ethan Klein thing and Ben and being gassed and all that stuff, these people, it's not about policy.

01:45:01.000 It's about tribal hatred.

01:45:03.000 And they're gonna keep saying this stuff until sooner or later people go out and riot and target people.

01:45:08.000 You know, Scott Adams was mocked when he said Republicans will be hunted.

01:45:11.000 Then we saw a bunch of Republicans get hunted.

01:45:13.000 Not like every single one ever, but you know, people were killed.

01:45:18.000 There you go, man.

01:45:20.000 Terrestrial G says, Ian may be an oddball, but he's our oddball.

01:45:24.000 Check my music, I make oddball music.

01:45:26.000 Well, alright.

01:45:29.000 Moving on.

01:45:31.000 Tim Jake says, The First Amendment does not protect journalists who discloses classified information.

01:45:36.000 Read 18 U.S.

01:45:37.000 Code 798.

01:45:38.000 Uh, I think it depends, but uh, you know, there's a nuance.

01:45:43.000 Nuance in all things.

01:45:45.000 DJ Madero says, who would have thought that Mel Gibson's conspiracy theory is the dystopian future we live in?

01:45:51.000 Which conspiracy theory is that?

01:45:53.000 It's a movie.

01:45:54.000 Oh, the movie.

01:45:54.000 Mel Gibson's conspiracy theory.

01:45:55.000 Oh, that's what they're referring to.

01:45:56.000 I thought he had, like, a specific conspiracy onto himself.

01:45:59.000 Oh, the movie's awesome!

01:46:00.000 Yeah.

01:46:01.000 The movie, like, there's a scene where he puts a bottle on his doorknob, and so that way if someone tries opening it, like, jiggling it, it falls over, and it's crazy.

01:46:10.000 Yeah, that movie's funny.

01:46:12.000 Good stuff.

01:46:14.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:46:15.000 says, Abrams thinks heartbeats are manufactured.

01:46:18.000 You guys remember that?

01:46:20.000 Yeah, another Georgia thing. 0.99

01:46:22.000 Yep.

01:46:22.000 No, what's that?

01:46:24.000 She said that the heartbeat you hear in ultrasounds is a fake sound made by the machine so that men can control women. 0.82

01:46:31.000 That's the people coming from your state.

01:46:33.000 That's a representation of where you're from.

01:46:37.000 It's unfortunate.

01:46:37.000 Coming from my country.

01:46:38.000 That's right.

01:46:39.000 Ivan who says only ever wanted has radicalized in into Tim's right-wing world

01:46:44.000 That's right. It's a good song Have you laid down vocals in the new one? Yes, okay

01:46:51.000 Oh, you did?

01:46:51.000 A while ago.

01:46:52.000 They were arguably demo.

01:46:53.000 We might have to go back and touch them up, but they sounded so good.

01:46:56.000 We'll see.

01:46:57.000 The one note we got back for the new song was more harmonies.

01:47:00.000 And then Ian keeps harping on harmonies, so I think they took the advice.

01:47:02.000 Yes, vocal harmonies.

01:47:04.000 All right.

01:47:05.000 Straight White Male says, Matt Walsh is holding his Rally to End Child Mutilation in Tennessee on Friday, hoping you have some journos on the ground.

01:47:13.000 Really?

01:47:14.000 Well, if anyone's listening from our newsroom, we should get on that.

01:47:18.000 Because we can.

01:47:19.000 That would be fantastic.

01:47:21.000 That'd be cool.

01:47:21.000 Mountain Ridge Collectible says, we sell sports cards, TCG and anime, so I'd like to hook you and Ian up with some MTG products.

01:47:29.000 I'd also like to do some kind of sponsorship or even help with your brick and mortar.

01:47:33.000 Yeah, we're setting up a physical location, and we're going to be launching the new show, Mall Store.

01:47:40.000 Love it.

01:47:41.000 I had a conversation with some individuals who are skilled in this space, and it's looking really good that within the next year.

01:47:49.000 The show is basically, we got a storefront, and we are going to create a pop-up store once a week that does something absurd.

01:47:57.000 I'm gonna give you an example of one of the jokes that I came up with off the top of my head, and we probably will do, so I'm spoiling it a little bit, but I'm excited for this one.

01:48:06.000 It's going to be a store called Pokemon IRL.

01:48:10.000 And we're going to have people outside yelling for families to bring their kids to come in and watch Pokemon in real life.

01:48:16.000 And the only thing inside the room is going to be two cages on the left and the right with a rooster in each one.

01:48:22.000 And then when the parents come in to ask what it is, and get, you know, noticeably offended by the idea, we say, what do you think Pokemon is?

01:48:30.000 It's kids training animals to fight each other!

01:48:32.000 So that's an idea of, like, the jokes we do.

01:48:35.000 The roosters will be in cages, and side note, for those that don't know this, the roosters will not actually fight.

01:48:41.000 Roosters only fight if there's girls around. 1.00

01:48:43.000 When you hear about cockfights, those are specially bred roosters with like, they cut the combs off and everything, and they make them really aggressive.

01:48:51.000 He's talking about Georgia again.

01:48:53.000 Yeah, over at Cocktown, we've got like 18 roosters, and they'll just hang out and do rooster stuff.

01:48:58.000 As long as there's no girls, everybody gets along. 1.00

01:49:01.000 So, but that's one of the jokes we're going to do. 0.62

01:49:03.000 And then once a week on the weekends, we're going to, no, I think Monday and Tuesday is when we set up the new store and change it to something ridiculous.

01:49:10.000 And then, uh, with, uh, throughout the week with the weekend, people can come in.

01:49:17.000 Yeah.

01:49:17.000 But, uh, let's, let's, uh, grab some more super chats.

01:49:22.000 All right, let's see.

01:49:23.000 Ready to Rumble says, Ukraine has the largest deposit of lithium on the planet, 500,000 tons.

01:49:29.000 It all makes sense now.

01:49:30.000 Wow.

01:49:30.000 Maybe, you know, I was reading that the Donbass region has a lot of lithium.

01:49:35.000 With the loss of Afghanistan, we're gonna need to get our lithium from somewhere.

01:49:38.000 Right.

01:49:39.000 Maybe that's it, huh?

01:49:42.000 I think there was some superchats earlier that were talking about Ian's opinion about NCOs and fresh commanders taking hints from their NCOs.

01:49:50.000 It was up there earlier in some of the superchats.

01:49:52.000 Well, let's keep reading.

01:49:53.000 That's a lot of stuff I saw from Vietnam.

01:49:55.000 A lot of great commanders that would come in off the boat would be like, you're the guy, you've been doing this for five years, so I'm following you for now.

01:50:01.000 Daniel Bennett says, Trucker here.

01:50:03.000 LSB Industries out of Arkansas and Oklahoma produces fertilizer and I've been watching their stock price go up and up and up.

01:50:09.000 Interesting.

01:50:10.000 I'll have to take a look at that.

01:50:11.000 Out of all the stocks that I have, the graphene one has actually got me a return.

01:50:16.000 Everything's collapsing, but that graphene one... When I was doing calculations in 2018, I got that peak graphene will arrive in about 2029 is when it's going to be globally...

01:50:30.000 Crooked Smile says, Mr. Poole, what do you think of using credit to acquire gold and then later on using said gold for gold-backed loans?

01:50:44.000 Your thoughts?

01:50:45.000 Also waiting on financial advice videos, please.

01:50:47.000 Never going to give financial advice, but wait a minute.

01:50:49.000 Are you saying that you use a credit card to buy gold, then get a loan with the gold, and then what do you do?

01:50:55.000 Do you pay off the credit card and then have cash or something?

01:50:57.000 I don't know.

01:50:57.000 That's margin stuff.

01:50:59.000 Be careful, because if the gold goes down in value, then you're going to owe all that extra money.

01:51:04.000 You have to pay back your loan.

01:51:05.000 He's pretty much telling you to make a gold Federal Reserve.

01:51:08.000 Yeah.

01:51:10.000 So wait, wait, what is this?

01:51:11.000 You get a credit card.

01:51:12.000 You buy gold with it.

01:51:14.000 Now you owe on the credit card.

01:51:16.000 Then you use that gold to get a loan.

01:51:18.000 All you're doing is holding gold and having your credit back, I guess?

01:51:22.000 But then if the gold goes down in value, how do you pay the loan back?

01:51:26.000 I don't know, but what if a Civil War or World War III breaks out and everyone forgets?

01:51:30.000 That's what I was thinking.

01:51:30.000 I was like, I'm buying a house.

01:51:31.000 And I'm like, I'm getting a mortgage.

01:51:33.000 If the collapse happens, I'm not gonna owe anything.

01:51:36.000 Right?

01:51:38.000 I don't know how that works.

01:51:39.000 Well, there's no one to collect.

01:51:41.000 Civil war happens, it's just like, all right. 0.97

01:51:42.000 As you go, yeah.

01:51:43.000 Who's coming after you?

01:51:44.000 Who's got the Gatling guns?

01:51:45.000 I've read crazy stories about people who got mortgages and then after like a certain, like a couple, like a decade or so with like modernization and documents being moved, they sent a request to the banks to produce the documents proving they had a mortgage and the banks couldn't and then like the mortgages disappeared.

01:52:01.000 Wow.

01:52:03.000 Yeah, there was something I was reading about.

01:52:04.000 It may have been like a scam or something, but this guy was pointing out that when it comes to debt collection, often there's so much transfer of paperwork, they don't actually even have the original documents anyway.

01:52:16.000 And the first thing you always do whenever someone tries to collect a debt is request original documentation.

01:52:21.000 And many of these collecting agencies can't produce it.

01:52:24.000 And if they can't, you say, bye, have a nice day.

01:52:26.000 I don't know who you are.

01:52:27.000 Like, for all you know, they're lying to you.

01:52:28.000 But then I was reading stories about, like, when, uh, I was reading about the, um, like, Dillinger.

01:52:34.000 And they said he would burn mortgage paperwork at banks so that they couldn't ever try to recover the property or prove that there was a loan on it or anything like that.

01:52:42.000 He was a bank robber, right?

01:52:42.000 And he would go in and just destroy, destroy debt paperwork?

01:52:45.000 Yeah.

01:52:45.000 That's crazy.

01:52:46.000 Like a robber.

01:52:46.000 Because, no, but it, but it wasn't, well, some argue it's because he was sticking to the man.

01:52:51.000 Others argue is that he was trying to, uh, uh, favor it, you know, generate favors with the- Oh, his buddies.

01:52:55.000 Favor with the public.

01:52:56.000 The public would be like, ah, we like it when he does that stuff.

01:52:59.000 Because then all of a sudden they're like, we don't know how much you owe, so, well, too bad, paperwork's gone.

01:53:05.000 All right, let's see.

01:53:06.000 A.O.

01:53:07.000 Shooter says, face it, Tim, the line has moved and you are conservative now.

01:53:12.000 Because you seek truth, you have become one of us.

01:53:14.000 One of us, one of us.

01:53:15.000 You forgot to add gooblegobble.

01:53:17.000 Gooblegobble.

01:53:19.000 One of us.

01:53:20.000 I guess, like, in the modern era, conservative means that you want the truth and you care about facts.

01:53:27.000 And the liberal and left means you want sweet, sweet lies.

01:53:32.000 Like rewriting history?

01:53:33.000 That would be the liberal thing, would be like, we're going to change what we don't like, whereas the conservative thing is like, just keep it the same.

01:53:39.000 Paul Renfer says, so when's the Castcastle episode of Ian?

01:53:44.000 Bring down on one knee with a ring, asking Luke to start a business for Luke to flex muscles, rejecting Ian because he is married to his workout regimen.

01:53:53.000 Well, well-written idea.

01:53:55.000 Well, there you go.

01:53:58.000 Moving on.

01:53:59.000 Jeffrey Grajic says, Ian, come to Texas and get married.

01:54:02.000 No alimony, just child support if children are involved, plus no state income tax.

01:54:07.000 But it's also very hot.

01:54:08.000 And so is Florida.

01:54:09.000 I like the heat.

01:54:10.000 I like West Virginia.

01:54:11.000 I gotta look into those laws, though.

01:54:12.000 West Virginia's fantastic.

01:54:14.000 Maryland probably is awful. 0.87

01:54:17.000 Oh, yeah. 1.00

01:54:17.000 Disgusting. 1.00

01:54:19.000 Yep. 0.69

01:54:20.000 It's getting cold right now.

01:54:22.000 Stepped outside last night.

01:54:23.000 It was frigid.

01:54:24.000 It's not nice in the RV.

01:54:25.000 Really?

01:54:26.000 Are you sleeping in the RV for now?

01:54:30.000 CB says, what they are trying to do is paint the whole show as conservative, so the damage is all of TimCast, not just Ian.

01:54:37.000 That's right.

01:54:37.000 The damage.

01:54:38.000 That's my new nickname.

01:54:39.000 The damage.

01:54:39.000 Ian the damage.

01:54:40.000 Yeah, just call me the damage.

01:54:41.000 Silo Siben says, Tim, it would be so fitting for you to have on the YouTuber Better Bachelor.

01:54:46.000 As a guest, he shouts you out on his channel around 400,000 subs, and I found you there.

01:54:50.000 Oh, that's really cool.

01:54:51.000 Thank you, Better Bachelor.

01:54:52.000 We'll take a look at that.

01:54:54.000 Take a look into that indeed.

01:54:58.000 Five against eight says easy calculation.

01:54:59.000 Jezebel owes Ian $965,000,000.

01:55:00.000 There you go.

01:55:01.000 That's so funny.

01:55:06.000 Anthony Jones says, Tim, please show your true Trek fandom.

01:55:09.000 Put together a team and go investigate the daily sightings of UAPs off our coastlines.

01:55:13.000 Give the people what we truly want.

01:55:15.000 That's a job for Shane Cashman.

01:55:17.000 We just talked about the UAPs.

01:55:18.000 Who was it on Rogan yesterday?

01:55:20.000 He had a Navy pilot.

01:55:22.000 We have that story pulled up.

01:55:23.000 We didn't get to it.

01:55:24.000 Yeah, maybe we can talk about it on the after show.

01:55:26.000 I think we have a couple of ideas to talk about.

01:55:27.000 But I think a lot of what's happening is they're focusing lasers into the sky and distorting radar and causing like a A morphing of the environment that looks like a craft, then they're moving it around all weird.

01:55:39.000 They move it around like what a craft might do to get the pilots to think maybe it's an actual craft, setting people up for some sort of false flag, or whatever.

01:55:46.000 But they're testing, like, laser technology called talking plasma.

01:55:50.000 Carpe Danktum.

01:55:51.000 Hey, what up?

01:55:51.000 He says, it's different when we do it, Democrats.

01:55:54.000 That's right.

01:55:55.000 And also, we need Elon Musk to get Twitter all ready so that Carpe Danktum can come back.

01:56:00.000 Mimic says it was nice seeing Seamus on the show again.

01:56:03.000 Ah, old memories.

01:56:04.000 Seamus, it was four months ago.

01:56:06.000 He left.

01:56:07.000 Emotional times.

01:56:08.000 Yep.

01:56:08.000 One day, he told us he was going out for scratchers.

01:56:11.000 And then he never came back.

01:56:12.000 He must've won.

01:56:13.000 He must've won.

01:56:15.000 He got drunk off of the potatoes.

01:56:17.000 Never came back.

01:56:18.000 He, uh, he got drunk off the potatoes and then fell asleep in the gutter.

01:56:22.000 Some nice old woman picked him up and carried him home and then he woke up in a faraway land and just, he's got amnesia now.

01:56:28.000 Keep scratching, Seamus.

01:56:29.000 Yeah.

01:56:30.000 Yeah, the, uh, the videos on Freedom Tunes that are going up, it's actually me doing Seamus's voice, doing other people's voices.

01:56:36.000 Yeah, Seamus.

01:56:37.000 You've been covering for him this whole time?

01:56:38.000 That's right.

01:56:38.000 Cause I'm a good friend.

01:56:41.000 That's right.

01:56:42.000 Check out Freedom Tunes on YouTube if you guys haven't.

01:56:44.000 Seamus is, uh, he's gone.

01:56:45.000 He abandoned us.

01:56:48.000 All right, Cindy Drellick says, regarding Breaking Bad, Walter White had some funny gun scenes, but as a whole, did the show get guns and ammo somewhat right?

01:56:57.000 Glad you finally saw the best TV series out there, Heisenberg.

01:57:01.000 I like Better Call Saul better.

01:57:02.000 Except for the ending.

01:57:04.000 Everything in Better Call Saul was really, really good, but the ending was really, really bad.

01:57:09.000 It felt like there was no ending, you know? I kind of don't want to spoil it. I haven't

01:57:13.000 don't I haven't seen it and I hear it's really good but I well I didn't like breaking down so

01:57:18.000 the issue is when you're doing a prequel and people want an epilogue the epilogue is after

01:57:24.000 Breaking Bad but the resolution of the prequel needed they if so basically what happens is

01:57:31.000 the the show's end is an epilogue And I felt like the prequel series itself probably should have had an explosive climax.

01:57:41.000 But I guess they didn't want to do that because how do you?

01:57:44.000 Because we know what happens in Breaking Bad?

01:57:46.000 I don't know.

01:57:46.000 Yeah, George Lucas did that with Star Wars episode 1 as he wrote the prequel second, but he pretended like you didn't already see the episode 4, 5, and 6, and that you were going to watch them in sequence, but everyone already knew that Palpatine was the Emperor.

01:57:58.000 So it was like kind of flat.

01:58:00.000 David T says, happy to support a show that's not afraid to bring on conservative commentators like Ian Crosland.

01:58:05.000 Man, he'd be a wild candidate for president.

01:58:08.000 Tim is a brave man.

01:58:10.000 First thing you do in office.

01:58:13.000 I'm not going to tell you.

01:58:14.000 I'm not going to say it out loud because it's a big complex plan that needs to be enacted all at once.

01:58:19.000 I would immediately allocate $550 million towards the production of graphene.

01:58:25.000 Oh yeah, full graphene revolution.

01:58:26.000 We're pulling carbon dioxide out of the air.

01:58:28.000 We're doing video chats with foreign diplomats and leaders all over the world daily.

01:58:32.000 We're having at least one to three hours a day on video, live.

01:58:35.000 It's all about communication.

01:58:37.000 If you're the president, your job is to communicate.

01:58:39.000 Can we just start firing people?

01:58:40.000 That's kind of the direction I'd like to see.

01:58:42.000 I like that.

01:58:42.000 I'm open to that.

01:58:44.000 Just abolish.

01:58:44.000 Abolish all of it.

01:58:45.000 Yes.

01:58:46.000 Aggressively.

01:58:47.000 Action Man says, I heard H3 is getting divorced.

01:58:50.000 Wonder why?

01:58:50.000 I think that's fake.

01:58:52.000 I heard that and then I heard it was fake.

01:58:54.000 And he was awesome.

01:58:55.000 Yeah, I don't believe that.

01:58:57.000 But what is there something I didn't hear about?

01:58:59.000 Well, I heard it and then I think Jeremy Hambly might have said, no, it's not true.

01:59:05.000 And then that's the last I heard about it.

01:59:07.000 That was like two weeks ago.

01:59:08.000 It was like, oh, no, no.

01:59:10.000 Ethan said that Jeremy was getting divorced and then Jeremy was like, no, I'm not.

01:59:13.000 So then he said that Ethan was getting divorced and then it turned out they were both lying.

01:59:18.000 Oh, just to get back at each other.

01:59:20.000 They deserve each other.

01:59:21.000 Yeah, they should marry each other.

01:59:23.000 Have they done a show together yet?

01:59:24.000 I hope so.

01:59:24.000 I don't know.

01:59:25.000 Yeah, they definitely should.

01:59:27.000 Yeah.

01:59:30.000 Captain Tanker Joe says my grandpa's an interesting man.

01:59:32.000 He claims to be fighting socialism and authoritarians, yet he votes Democrat.

01:59:36.000 He advocates for the genocide of Russians openly. 0.80

01:59:38.000 I'm certain if Stalin or Uncle H had a D next to their name, he would vote for them. 0.86

01:59:43.000 Uncle H!

01:59:45.000 Yeah.

01:59:47.000 NotMyName says, anybody else feel like abortion is similar to a deal with the devil?

01:59:51.000 With the baby being the human sacrifice?

01:59:54.000 I can see that.

01:59:55.000 You know, in certain circumstances, especially post-viability.

01:59:58.000 It's like, I want more comfort and wealth.

02:00:01.000 I know. 1.00

02:00:01.000 Kill this thing and give me what I want. 1.00

02:00:05.000 Oh, what's this? 0.99

02:00:05.000 Matthew Dean Bodo says, did you see Kanye West apologize on the Piers Morgan show a few hours ago? 0.99

02:00:11.000 I'm definitely watching that interview later.

02:00:13.000 That sounds cool.

02:00:14.000 Hostile, bogey, and bounce.

02:00:16.000 His H3H3 was never edgy.

02:00:17.000 It has always been cringe.

02:00:19.000 I guess.

02:00:21.000 No, the FUPA and the Vape Nation stuff was great.

02:00:23.000 And he had Jordan Peterson on his show.

02:00:25.000 Yeah.

02:00:26.000 But then, like, he bent the knee.

02:00:28.000 He got scared.

02:00:29.000 He did.

02:00:30.000 Like, there are a bunch of YouTubers from back in the day who were anti-woke.

02:00:33.000 They all panicked and just started taking stuff down.

02:00:36.000 Chris Reagan took down Pancho Nazi.

02:00:38.000 Apparently someone told him he was helping Nazis, so he was like, oh cool, and then he took it down.

02:00:42.000 It's like, look man, I think there's some good in that.

02:00:47.000 Someone like Chris, who knows that his whole bit was like making jokes and talking about games and movies and comedy and hanging out with his roommates, was getting dragged into a political conflict and all of a sudden said like, why am I in this?

02:01:00.000 And a bunch of those guys did, said, I don't want to be political.

02:01:02.000 I don't want to be in this world.

02:01:03.000 I get it.

02:01:03.000 Ethan went the other way.

02:01:04.000 He said, I'm going to be fully political, even though I have no idea what's going on.

02:01:07.000 I got this old video and I think it's called pain.

02:01:09.000 I have a few old videos where all I'm, it's like I'm in the most depressed, hateful state of my life. 0.84

02:01:13.000 And I'm talking about humans are horrible. 0.99

02:01:15.000 They're dead. 1.00

02:01:15.000 They're dead to me. 1.00

02:01:16.000 They're going to die. 1.00

02:01:17.000 We're going to wipe ourselves. 0.99

02:01:18.000 It's like really negative.

02:01:19.000 And it's on YouTube.

02:01:20.000 And I'm wondering, should I delete it?

02:01:23.000 Or is it like part of the story of what I went through?

02:01:25.000 I don't know.

02:01:27.000 So you are.

02:02:38.000 I don't know.

02:02:38.000 It's not revolutionary.

02:02:39.000 It's very simple and basic, but I think everyone should eat steak, lift weights, be uncensorable, and screw the government.
