Maxine Waters' comments about the DA's decision to sequester the jury in the D.C. Rittenhouse trial have the potential to have the entire case thrown out on appeal. Plus, the latest on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
00:01:14.000Now, I am very impressed with this judge to now hear him say that Maxine Waters' threats against the jury Look, man, I thought Judge Cahill was a fairly reasonable guy.
00:01:30.000I thought he was being fair, not just giving the defense what they wanted.
00:01:33.000But, you know, going back and forth, and I thought it made sense.
00:01:35.000But this has to be one of the stupidest things and one of the biggest blunders in judicial history.
00:01:41.000Because we know the severity of the riots.
00:01:43.000We know it affected the entire country.
00:01:45.000And the defense kept saying, you need to sequester the jury, and the judge is like, no, no, it's fine, it's fine.
00:01:51.000And then Maxine Waters comes out, and she goes, if we don't get a first-degree murder conviction, which, as you know, Chauvin wasn't charged with, then we gotta get more, more active and get in the streets and get more confrontational.
00:02:02.000More confrontational than burning down an Apple store or a police station.
00:02:05.000And, uh, you know, what we saw last year.
00:02:07.000And the judge now has the nerve to be like, You know what?
00:02:11.000Maybe, on appeal, the entire trial will be overturned now.
00:02:17.000We've got a bunch of stories surrounding what's going on with Maxine Waters' statements, how it's affecting politics.
00:02:22.000But we've got a bunch of non-political stuff.
00:02:25.000I want to talk about The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, because I've been watching that show, and everyone thinks it's getting woke, and I think it's getting anti-woke, but we'll see what happens.
00:02:31.000So hanging out today, I guess just two members of the DC Riot Squad?
00:02:52.000Yeah, you know, Phil's correspondent, Daily Caller, and yeah, you know, I guess we originated with the, you know, DC Riot Squad, so glad to be back and, you know, for an exciting week.
00:03:03.000Both of you guys were on the ground during the riots.
00:03:07.000Both of you guys have been on the ground for basically every single riot of the past year.
00:03:10.000Well, not literally everyone, because there's like multiple cities at the same time, but most of the big consequential ones, like notably Kenosha.
00:03:16.000And so, what's important here, and I think it's gonna be great, because not only were you guys in Minnesota, you guys were in Minnesota, right?
00:03:21.000Not only is that relevant for all the news, but there was some legal analyst speculating that the riots are going to have a ramification on the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.
00:03:32.000Because they're telling the jury, do what we want or we burn this place down.
00:03:37.000And so, you know, one legal analyst said, what do you think is going to happen when it comes to the jury in the Rittenhouse trial?
00:03:41.000They know what they're going to be there for.
00:03:42.000They're going to be like, no way, dude, am I getting involved in this?
00:03:45.000So we're going to talk all about that.
00:05:12.000But become a member, because we have this Massive library of members-only exclusive content.
00:05:17.000And tonight, after this show, there will be an exclusive members-only segment again for all of you who sign up.
00:05:23.000And don't forget to like, share, subscribe, hit that notification bell.
00:05:25.000And I also want to announce, real quick, I believe today, maybe tomorrow, will be the last day you can get your tinfoil gorilla t-shirt.
00:05:35.000I let it go a little bit longer because people were mentioning that payday comes like once every other week for a lot of people and they don't have a chance to get paid and they want to buy the shirt.
00:05:42.000So you'll notice, if you go to TimCast.com, click store, there is an I'm a Gorilla shirt, he's wearing a tinfoil hat.
00:05:47.000We'll keep that up for maybe another day or so.
00:05:50.000But again, a lot of people have mentioned like, you know, bi-weekly, like, you know, like a paycheck every other week.
00:05:55.000So we might keep it up at least for a few more days, but it's going to be going away very soon because it was meant to just be a limited edition thing.
00:07:01.000Because in rebuttal, the prosecution said that I guess they were telling stories and it was nonsense and repeatedly kept saying that it was essentially fabrication of facts, which you're not allowed to do.
00:07:15.000In court, the prosecution is supposed to say, You know, our expert testified to this, and we hold this to be correct.
00:07:21.000You can't say the other person's making up crap and they're lying and telling stories.
00:07:25.000And so when the defense said, you know, objection, the judge said, overruled, don't say stories again, but, you know, he's allowed to say stories.
00:07:32.000Then when the prosecution kept berating the defense and insulting them, the judge finally stepped in and was like, okay, you gotta stop doing that.
00:08:09.000And he was saying that even TV shows, fictional TV shows on Thursday night, NBC or whatever, are referencing the trial and making statements about what they want to occur.
00:08:20.000And so he's like, you need to sequester them.
00:08:38.000So, it means there'll be a verdict, then the defense is... Let's say the jurors come back and say guilty on all counts.
00:08:45.000I mean, let's say the jury comes back and says acquitted on all counts but manslaughter.
00:08:49.000No matter what happens now, the defense can file an appeal to a higher court saying Rep Maxine Waters, Democrat, came from California, came to our state and said, unless we get a conviction for premeditated murder, which they didn't charge Chauvin with, we're going to get more confrontational.
00:09:15.000Yamiche Alcindor said the right is claiming that Maxine Waters called for violence because she said, get more active and more confrontational.
00:09:39.000They've been threatened, and they're going to burn the city down no matter what.
00:09:42.000Because she said first degree murder, and they don't have that.
00:09:45.000And I thought at a minimum they would at least sequester before the weekend started.
00:09:48.000They didn't even do that, and that's obviously when Maxine Waters came in.
00:09:52.000I mean, I think just being on the ground, one of our reporters, Lisa Benetton, she did a great video where she asked folks, hey, you know, what happens if you don't get, you know, if you guys don't get murdered?
00:10:01.000And people literally say, and that are from Brooklyn Center, said, we're burning it down.
00:10:05.000And they don't need, I would say, you know, with Maxine Waters' comments, it's like you're just giving these people more power to just say, hey, if we do this, we're good to go.
00:10:14.000And I think a lot of those folks are going to point to Last Summer and say, hey, we go out and, you know, do our thing.
00:10:18.000It's OK, because Kamala Harris was there to bail us out just like last year.
00:10:22.000And I think that's something that we have to keep in the back of our mind.
00:10:38.000And I know right now, the big difference right now is compared to last year is, you know, being on the ground is, I guess Minnesota with the law enforcement, They didn't have a communication system between, you know, the Minnesota State Troopers, National Guard, and then local police.
00:10:50.000So coming this year around, being on the ground reporting, we learned that now Minnesota has created a program called Operation Safety Net.
00:10:56.000So now we have the National Guard, local police, and state troopers now working all basically now hand-in-hand to control these groups.
00:11:02.000I will say this, I think, you know, Richard, you know, being on the ground again in Brooklyn Center, They did a great job of protecting the police department.
00:11:08.000You know, they put the barricades, they had the law enforcement there, but one thing that we have to remember, and I try to tell these folks all the time, is when you have so much law enforcement, you know, concentrated on just one area, it leaves the rest of the city stretched thin.
00:11:20.000I mean, just, and I said this last, this was reported yesterday, but numbers might even be higher, but since last Sunday of Daunte Wright's death, The police department in Brooklyn Center, which is a little small town area, they have already received over 200 calls of either businesses damaged, looted, or burglaries.
00:11:35.000And that's one thing that we had to remember is when you have so much protection at the police center, the rest of the city... That whole shopping mall is literally right next to the police station.
00:11:42.000Like, that whole shopping mall that was looted on the first couple of nights.
00:11:46.000It's like a hundred yards from the whole police station.
00:11:49.000This is why I'm saying the cops should resign.
00:11:51.000Or at the very least, you know, we had I think it was Tom Rogan.
00:11:54.000He mentioned they should give notice that in 30 days They'll all resign.
00:11:58.000I've been speaking to some inside sources inside the Portland PD from last summer And when I was speaking to a police officer, she said the morale is low.
00:12:05.000She says we have people transferring You know, just literally retiring early.
00:12:11.000And I mean, I would expect that we see the same thing here.
00:12:14.000And I know that we were speaking about this before the show, Tim, but the Minnesota Senate just approved $9 million to get out of state law enforcement to help out, you know, with this upcoming week.
00:12:25.000So, you know, pray for these guys because, yeah, they take a lot of beating when they're out there.
00:12:30.000There are low- I've heard from a lot of people in the comments, they're like, Tim, these cops who are staying are doing it because they know there are good people who need to be protected.
00:12:37.000You know, the way I described it was, your house is on fire, we repeatedly tried- we tried fighting the fire last year, but a bunch of people in the house voted for the arsonists.
00:12:46.000Kamala Harris, who's bailing these people out, soliciting funds.
00:12:49.000Joe Biden, whose staff is funding the bailouts.
00:12:52.000And I'm like, so, at that point it made sense to be like, stay in fight, figuratively, have, you know, show people what this means, and then vote for somebody who will defend you, and they went Democrat.
00:13:02.000They voted for the people who are defending the rioters, not the cops.
00:13:07.000Now your house is burning down, and the people you think you're helping are screaming at you to get out while the house burns down around them.
00:13:13.000So I understand the analogy where it's like, we gotta help the people here who are good, and I'm like, I get that, but at a certain point, don't you say?
00:13:19.000Like, the people- like, imagine a firefighter goes into a burning house, and he's like, I'm gonna get you out of here, ma'am, and then she, like, just grabs on and squeezes a flaming beam as tight as she can.
00:13:33.000The people who are there who are good people, what are they doing to defend these cops?
00:13:37.000Do we see press conferences held by community leaders and activists and neighborhood watches saying, we support our cops and we need them here to protect us?
00:13:45.000We see endless riots in support of shutting down and abolishing the police.
00:13:50.000So at a certain point, the police need to send a message.
00:13:53.000If you're not getting the support, nobody wants you there, they voted for the people who hate you, then you need to say, okay, then I'll pass it off to you and then see what happens.
00:14:02.000You know, the metaphor I'm thinking of is that ten guilty people go free before one innocent person suffers.
00:14:07.000And I think that these people that aren't speaking up are the innocent bystanders that I don't want them to suffer.
00:14:14.000I'm not sure if you guys have seen the news, too, is one of the city council members from Brooklyn Center came out and said, hey, you know, I get the emotions at heart, but we should wait for due process.
00:14:24.000And then a councilwoman for Brooklyn Center admitted she voted to have him fired because she was scared they would come after her.
00:14:30.000Alright, personal responsibility takes precedent at a certain point.
00:14:35.000If you would fire a city manager who called for due process because, you know, this cop shot this guy, and then publicly say, I'm scared they'll attack me, okay, you need to either stand up for what you believe in, Or, don't come to me for help when you vote to support these lunatics.
00:14:52.000Look, at a certain point, you gotta throw water on the fire too.
00:14:54.000But what I think it is, Tim, from being on the ground, and I think Richard could attest to this, is we spoke to a lot of residents who don't support, obviously, the constant clashes in their neighborhood, the destruction.
00:15:03.000The only thing is, they're actually afraid just to even go on camera with us and interview because they feel like, hey, if I go on camera with you, they'll literally destroy Exactly.
00:15:47.000Okay, now you really adopt our plan or else you're a fascist as well.
00:15:50.000So Biden's a fascist if, you know, he doesn't adopt Abolish the Police effectively.
00:15:53.000Look, I get messages from people all the time where they're like, I got my family out of Minnesota last week or I'm moving next month or I'm trying to move out now.
00:16:01.000I get messages from people who say I moved out six months ago.
00:16:04.000I've got messages from people where they were like, man Tim, I'm glad you said to get out of the city because I got out before the latest riot started and I lived real close.
00:16:12.000So listen, I hear what you're saying about people scared to go on camera.
00:16:16.000The Founding Fathers, many of them who signed the Declaration of Independence, were killed, had their homes burned down, their families were killed, they risked everything to stand up for what they believed in.
00:16:26.000At a certain point, you don't get to be a pampered Golden Age American who can sit in your home and just kick your feet back and say, I'll keep my head down and be fine.
00:16:34.000Because it is expanding, it is getting worse.
00:16:37.000There are a lot of pundits saying they think the riots after the Chauvin trial are going to be worse than we saw last year.
00:16:40.000It's one thing to see the anger over the death of George Floyd.
00:16:43.000It's another thing to see the state say he didn't do anything wrong, depending on what the result may be.
00:16:49.000So, Maxine Waters wants a charge that didn't actually happen.
00:16:54.000So, based on her own logic, riots are coming.
00:16:57.000If at this point, the people are unwilling to stand up and defend themselves, okay, well, do you expect, like, the people who are speaking up, not even from your area, who are speaking out and risking their careers, who are getting cancelled, losing their jobs for defending, you know, what's true and what's correct, you expect them to come to your aid when you won't do it yourself?
00:17:19.000There's that famous line about a leader who says, I would never instruct one of my men to do something I wouldn't do myself, or one of my, you know, men or women.
00:17:27.000Yet here you have people who won't stand up for themselves asking you to do it for them.
00:17:31.000And so there are cops who are like, I will.
00:17:32.000I'm like, nah, at a certain point, if you're a cop and they're all turning their back on you, refusing to stand up and even say the words, I support you, then you don't have support from them.
00:17:42.000No matter what they think, no matter what they're telling people, they're lying.
00:17:46.000Somebody who truly supported you would stand up, hold a press conference, we support the police and we reject this.
00:18:35.000Should she then defend herself or defend others?
00:18:38.000Well, she said she made a mistake for that.
00:18:40.000The prosecutor comes out when he came out during the riots, I guess, and said we are going to do everything in our power to see her held accountable through this system.
00:18:50.000She absolutely deserves whatever the system throws at her because all of these cops have been watching what the feckless, pathetic, spineless people of their community have been doing.
00:19:12.000You helped prop up a bunch of arsonists burning down your community, and now you're mad that you're caught in the fire?
00:19:18.000I can't run into a burning building you chose to be in.
00:19:20.000I don't like this metaphor because the people of the United States are sucking off the teat of the Federal Reserve, bankrupting the world, and we don't deserve to die and be burning in hell for it.
00:19:30.000You're punishing people for something they're not necessarily responsible for or were ignorant of.
00:19:33.000The Federal Reserve has nothing to do with this.
00:19:35.000The people of the United States are spearheading the global catastrophe financially.
00:21:03.000Well, but not randomly and incoherently.
00:21:06.000Who said anything about random and incoherent?
00:21:07.000Not like one random person to get up and be like, I'm gonna make- I'm gonna be the guy that makes a stand and gets my bir- If they formed underground like the Founding Fathers did- Okay, dude, dude, dude, dude.
00:21:16.000You brought up the Founding Fathers as a metaphor.
00:21:40.000These people are paying for the police, they're paying for the government, they're paying the politicians, and voting for them.
00:21:46.000And I'll tell you this, the people who voted for it, why would I argue they don't want it?
00:21:51.000If somebody was in Minneapolis and said, I want Joe Biden, whose staff members support the riots, and I want Kamala Harris, who supports the rioters, and then the rioters come to burn down their house, I can only assume they're going, yes!
00:22:29.000Too many Americans for too long have been fat and lazy, figuratively and literally, sitting around, not paying attention, thinking everything would be done for them.
00:24:05.000We, for too long, have been people in good times breeding weak individuals, weak citizens, who don't care about civic duty or responsibility.
00:24:14.000And I'm not talking about some nationalistic whatever.
00:24:16.000I'm talking about literally being like, going and giving your firefighters some brownies and being like, thank you for everything you do.
00:24:22.000Or going to your cops and talking to them about issues you're concerned about, you've heard about in the media.
00:24:27.000It's just media manipulation, political sectarianism, and a bunch of lazy disinterested people who are like, I'm keeping my head down because I got it good.
00:26:17.000Even when the cops are there, I mean, Kenosha, there were no firefighters and no cops like in the situation where they were actually needed like a shooting or a fire.
00:26:24.000You know, we saw they were basically focused, like Jorge was saying earlier, entirely on the riots.
00:26:28.000And so like, over the last year, if you look all at all the criminal data across the country, I mean, that's effectively what's been happening is the police are paying attention to these the civil unrest and not paying attention to the violent crimes that actually really impact the communities.
00:26:43.000Well, one thing, too, that is interesting that I think we'll start to figure out in these couple months is how each city, major city, deals with the potential civil unrest and the communication they've used.
00:26:54.000In Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Sheriff, Alex Villanueva, he came out aggressive and said, hey, we got National Guard on standby.
00:27:02.000We are not playing around compared to last year.
00:27:05.000And according to some sources on the ground, I mean, LAPD, so far as I know this past week, has been handling the demonstrations pretty well.
00:27:11.000And I think I think Los Angeles, I mean I don't know about every city, but I know Los Angeles has, they for sure are going to fix the mistakes they made last year because their county sheriff is a little bit aggressive, but I do definitely see what Tim is saying.
00:27:23.000They need, the police officers or law enforcement, they need some type of support.
00:27:29.000In Portland, I speak to a lot of the officers, they feel like their work is useless because they'll make the arrests, they'll do all this stuff, but then the district attorney will say, off the hook, off the hook, off the hook, and that's going to bring morale down.
00:27:40.000And I think in Los Angeles, what we're seeing is we're seeing an L.A.
00:27:42.000County Sheriff say, hey, we're taking the aggressive lane.
00:28:24.000The woman who was accused of setting fire to the police union building, she was arrested last year on some serious charges and they just cut her loose and dropped the charges.
00:28:32.000Then she comes back not even a year later and burns down the police union building.
00:28:35.000And then they release her without bail.
00:28:37.000At a certain point, man, I don't know what these cops think they're doing.
00:28:40.000It's like, there's this meme video where a guy's... What else can they do, though?
00:28:52.000But it's like my house is burning down, but my family's going to starve if we don't stay.
00:28:56.000So you stay in a house that's literally on fire.
00:28:58.000You're still getting a paycheck, you know, as long as you're alive, as long as you're breathing.
00:29:02.000What you just said is very interesting.
00:29:03.000What you've said is it's actually safer and easier for the police to be in the violent riots in a system that's broken and not working than it is to actually leave and go somewhere, somewhere that would be more Because what is a cop's future employment in this current climate right now?
00:29:24.000That means while Minneapolis burns down, it is actually safer and more secure for an officer to be an ineffective and villainized individual working for the department than it is for them to move their family to any other city for any other job.
00:29:40.000If a small portion of my garage caught on fire, I wouldn't expect everyone to run screaming from the building.
00:29:45.000I'd expect someone to go with a fire extinguisher and just put a little fire out.
00:29:48.000If the fire eventually engulfed half the building, then the safety is, okay, at this point, you stay in the building, you're probably going to die.
00:29:56.000The fire right now isn't big enough to where the cops feel threatened.
00:30:00.000And I think, well, I think basically the fire here, you know, the responsibility of the fourth estate is literally to call out when there's a fire when nobody else is willing to.
00:30:08.000Like the government, you know, obviously isn't... Fourth estate, you say?
00:30:14.000Well, I mean, basically... Not the mainstream media.
00:30:16.000Well, I think we have the internet now.
00:30:19.000And I do think when we started out covering the riots at the beginning of the year, we were saying the term protesters, not calling them rioters necessarily.
00:30:53.000Well, I think I was trying to make the point kind of from the other side, which is it's just as bad to then come out there and label every single person who's out there in a situation where, you know, police start banging up against the front line of protesters.
00:31:07.000Some of those people were out there with good intentions.
00:31:09.000If you say BLM terrorists in every single tweet, then basically you're throwing yourself into that trench, the other trench.
00:31:16.000And so you need people in the middle who are just trying their best to look at both and say like, okay, so we use the term protester because it's like same as the Capitol riot.
00:31:26.000There were certain people there who were caught up in the madness, the Lord of the Flies effects of the chaos.
00:31:30.000You start getting pepper sprayed, it's pretty hard to make logical decisions.
00:31:35.000So using that neutral terminology wasn't good in the short term.
00:31:39.000I was like, Jorge, you're not going to get as many retweets.
00:31:41.000But in the long term, people started to pay attention because they're like, oh, these guys are actually here and they're actually trying their best to actually just show, fly on the wall, what's going on.
00:31:48.000How many people have you heard actively call for the cops to resign or leave?
00:32:15.000Diversity of tactics basically means that if you're a peaceful protester, you are supposed to defend or at the very least tolerate violent extremists who are burning things down and attacking police.
00:32:31.000So there are regular peaceful protesters who go out there knowing this, and then say, but I had good intentions, even though I dressed in all black to shield the extremists.
00:32:40.000Now what they say about the police is, if you have, what do they say, if you have 1,300 good cops and 12 of them are bad, and the 1,300 good cops won't call out the 12 bad cops, then you have 1,312 bad cops.
00:32:48.000the 1300 good cops won't call out the 12 bad cops, then you have 1312 bad cops.
00:32:58.000And so the point the left is making is the same.
00:33:00.000The cops who refuse to speak out and stop the bad cops are just as bad.
00:33:05.000So I look at that and I'm like, there's no legit solution between two warring ideologies convinced that this side is evil, but there is one simple solution.
00:33:13.000If the people of these neighborhoods won't defend the police, that means the police don't have their support, and the other people in these communities, be it maybe a smaller percentage, are actively voting against the police.
00:33:26.000And the police have a very simple answer.
00:33:28.000Instead of arguing about who's evil and who's not, you leave.
00:33:32.000You don't gotta worry about support, you don't gotta worry about the violence, and you don't gotta worry about... They asked for it, they get it, and everyone's better off.
00:33:38.000So my only point is, you're a commentator, right?
00:33:41.000Your call for the police to do this or that, that's legitimate.
00:33:46.000Our role here is to be on the ground and to say what we're seeing.
00:33:49.000And so when you have the entire media whose responsibility is to be on the ground and say what they're seeing, and they're either trying to portray this in this light or this in that light.
00:33:58.000I got my ass beat by cops in Wauwatosa with a billy club.
00:34:02.000And I showed the frickin' bruise on my knee, and everyone's like, oh, the bootlicker, finally!
00:34:07.000How many times have I shown, you know, the BLM snack van getting the window smashed in D.C.
00:34:12.000by this white shirt cop who just decided to smash a frickin' window?
00:34:15.000We're not like choosing, oh, no, the cops are good, so we're not gonna post that one.
00:34:19.000It's like that, but that's the way that this should have been covered from the start.
00:34:23.000And the reason why we're in this situation now is because nobody was paying attention to us because it was two different echo chambers.
00:34:28.000And after time, maybe some people are, but still, you know, it's very much two different trenches.
00:34:34.000I should, I should qualify my previous statement when I said calling for police to resign.
00:34:38.000Obviously the left is doing nothing but that.
00:34:40.000My reasoning is very, very different because they're being sacrificed and disrespected and the people in the community won't do anything to stand up for themselves.
00:35:13.000While me and Rich were on the ground in Brooklyn Center, I caught a few interesting moments on video where you'll find black locals from Brooklyn Center yelling at white, you could call them protesters or agitators, and tell them, we don't want violence in our neighborhoods, we don't condone this, and then tell them, hey, when that 10 p.m.
00:35:36.000Because I think one thing that maybe a lot of folks don't know, unless you're on the ground, and I try to put it out as much out there as I can, is what makes this situation for Brooklyn Center Police Department difficult to control this crowd is because right across the street, you have all these apartment complexes.
00:35:52.000So that's one thing that we try to put out there is that a lot of the black locals in Brooklyn Center literally came out and we're telling the white protesters, hey, don't be burning down our city.
00:36:00.000Don't be doing this to our neighborhoods.
00:36:12.000And it was pretty funny to see the Minnesota Freedom Fighters, predominantly black, All go up to the Antifa umbrella gang, which I've been referring to as the umbrella gang because you know, they're basically like rolling around with their umbrellas completely in formation the whole time.
00:36:27.000They're bringing like wooden barriers up to the fence and stuff and the guys are like, what are you doing?
00:36:40.000And then one thing too, Tim, is then the white protesters, the Antifa, would then basically claim that the Black Minnesota Freedom Fighters are working with the police and they're getting paid under the table.
00:36:53.000So it was interesting to just hear that go down in person.
00:36:56.000It's because, you look at the data, peaceful protests work.
00:37:00.000It generates press coverage, which generates sympathy, and then makes political change.
00:37:46.000I mean, you know, just from my outsider perspective, I mean, it could have been even more powerful, like let's say when this George Floyd thing happened for them to say, hey, you know what?
00:37:53.000Let's get a million man march in Washington, D.C.
00:37:56.000We're going to go up and we're going to demand these bills and we're going to do it peacefully.
00:38:00.000And, you know, I think that would have been more powerful instead of the riots, because when the riots happened and, you know, me and Rich have been on the ground, One thing that we try to do at the Daily Caller, and I think, you know, not much folks did, is after the riots, we would at least spend a couple days, like, actually talking to the business owners, and allow them to say, hey, we supported this movement from, like, day one, and now we're just, we just don't understand why, and you just turn off a lot of America when you go that, I mean, like I said, I think from an outside perspective, probably would have been more powerful to say, hey, let's get a million people, let's show up in Washington, D.C., let's march peacefully, and, you know, let's demand a set of bills, and I think right now, too, with Black Lives Matter and Antifa, whoever you want to,
00:38:36.000I don't believe all the businesses, to be honest.
00:38:38.000a list of demands that's like a legit like hey we're going off this because
00:38:42.000you know when you speak to one person once person says abolish the whole
00:38:45.000system then some people say oh we want some police we want community police
00:38:49.000it's it's a mixed mixed message I don't believe I don't believe the businesses
00:38:52.000to be honest when I've you guys have been at Berkeley I'd imagine right not
00:38:57.000So in you go to you go to Oakland you go to Berkeley go to the Bay Area and all the businesses have these pro
00:39:02.000leftist signs in their windows One of them actually said I remember I was a Burger King
00:39:07.000and it said this is a family-owned, you know franchise Please do not destroy our windows
00:39:12.000see that They had to say it out right because it was a Burger King
00:39:16.000You know, the local brewery just puts whatever left is trash in their window, hoping that it spares them.
00:39:21.000So when you get a journalist who comes out, because I've talked to people on the record, off the record, I'll tell you this, on the record, they're like, we're big supporters of the movement.
00:39:30.000Just, you know, we're hoping that they don't destroy our business.
00:39:32.000You turn the camera off and they're like, I can't stand any of this.
00:40:07.000I mean like in Los Angeles right now they just elected George Cascone and he's been one of the more progressive DA's and like I was saying the LA County Sheriff and him are just butting heads on everything.
00:40:17.000I've actually spoken to a few police officers and LAPD on the record and off the record who tell me like hey some of the people that we arrest we charge them for rape?
00:40:25.000Within like a couple days out on the street and they'll like commit a murder.
00:40:29.000So that's it's just um, you know, I mean at one point too You have to ask is like, you know work at one point Is it a crime because it's like you're putting your own community in danger and the people that you say that you're protecting Which is always black and brown.
00:40:40.000We want to protect the black and brown communities That's where you're actually impacting the most when you do this is the black and brown communities It's like they're not getting these criminals are not getting released in Beverly Hills.
00:40:48.000I'll tell you that No, if they get arrested in Beverly Hills, they'll get shipped somewhere else But you know who seems to have learned to give up because of politics?
00:40:58.000They're like, whatever man, nobody actually cares about the community anymore, so I'll tell them what they want to hear and then just do nothing.
00:41:04.000And then, all the chaos happens, like the cops haven't learned yet.
00:41:07.000They're like, I'm gonna keep doing the same thing over and over again even though nothing's getting resolved.
00:41:10.000But I guess, hey, when you're getting a paycheck and you got a house, you got a mortgage payment, I suppose...
00:41:16.000From my perspective, you know, I said this two, three years ago, the escalation.
00:41:20.000I said, I said this, I think two years ago that we were going to see heavily racialized riots or riots for racial reasons escalate because of a lot of the critical racism.
00:41:29.000And Tim, I wanted to bring this up too, because I know when we talk about this stuff, it's, you know, riots and all that stuff.
00:41:33.000But I think one thing, too, we maybe need to look at as a society.
00:41:36.000And I think maybe the Adam Toledo was a great, not a great example, but something that maybe we could look at as America is.
00:41:42.000You know, what about the family structure?
00:41:44.000You know, I think one thing that we're not talking about is a lot of these people who are causing the riots or out there, you know, taking advantage of any civil unrest.
00:41:55.000And I think that's another discussion that America needs to start having.
00:41:59.000You know, I know with Adam Toledo, Yeah, but hold on.
00:42:01.000To address that point, you realize a lot of these Black Lives Matter people are white progressives from middle class families or upper middle class families.
00:42:08.000I think there was a... But just because they're from upper middle class family doesn't mean their dad wasn't a shitbag.
00:42:13.000No, but their dad could be a lazy middle class intellectual.
00:42:19.000He could be a huge Wall Street guy who made them millions of dollars, and he's rich as heck, but his daddy was never there, and he's still mad about it.
00:42:28.000Family structure is a good point, but I want to make sure we're clarifying that it's not necessarily about whether you got mom or dad.
00:42:33.000It's about, are your parents lazy and apathetic?
00:42:37.000You could have two parents, and they can just be... Like they won't smack you around when you're addicted to antidepressants?
00:43:59.000But, I mean, I think, like I said, it's an interesting thing to look at because I remember when I was covering the, you know, riots in every different city, but specifically in Portland, that's one thing that kind of caught myself is, you know, when everyone's causing destruction is to say, you know, how many of these people who are out here I think it's their dads.
00:44:14.000up with with just a regular family and and and have a sense of purpose in life
00:44:18.000because many of the people that I talk to they almost have like no no sense of
00:44:21.000purpose and when this George Floyd thing caught you know popped out they finally
00:44:25.000felt they were part of a movement and they were making a change I don't know
00:44:28.000that's what I think it's their dads I think it's mostly the dad yeah you know
00:44:32.000You know, no, I agree. So it's not so a lot of people like to mention whether you know people have dads or don't I
00:44:37.000Don't think that's it. We brushed on this. I think literally
00:44:39.000Yeah, if you don't have a dad you the studies show that there's gonna be actually I'm sorry
00:44:45.000I should clarify actually the studies have been simplified to just two parents a two-parent structure
00:44:49.000But I think if people don't have a discipline like a disciplinary parent and I don't mean by like corporal
00:44:54.000punishment I mean literally like sit down son and you know, man
00:44:57.000or sit down, you know daughter and you know, think about what you did and you need a a a leadership role and a
00:45:03.000nurturing role in my opinion, I I think there's probably a lot of these kids, I mean, you look at these Antifa kids.
00:45:08.000It's like they've never picked up a heavy backpack in their lives.
00:45:11.000They're so scrawny and frail, but they're angry.
00:46:15.000I mean, I think basically when you say that they don't have an ideology, their ideology is to be oppositional to that which, you know, they've been taught to think is wrong, which is like, it's a very specific set of... It's tribalism.
00:46:30.000And the reason I say that, sorry to interrupt, is that if we were gonna say it's about Black Lives Matter and the reason they're not concerned about the white guy is because the race issue?
00:46:39.000Then they wouldn't have been making fun of Asian people for years, only to now change and act like they care about Asian people.
00:46:44.000There's no real ideology, it's just whatever the tribe is focused on now, and it happens to be Black Lives Matter.
00:46:51.000Well, I mean, by the way, like, the reason why I got into media is because, like, during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, everybody was for the war in Iraq, including CNN, MSNBC, because it was politically incorrect not to be pro-military, which that manifested itself in better before the war or else.
00:47:10.000And so, like, if you look back to the news coverage of that, you would have expected those networks, you know, to be, oh, well, George Bush wants to do this and it's terrible.
00:47:32.000So I think mostly what you see, these people, the reason why they would say walk away from a protest when they find out the guy's white is because It's just whatever the popular media narrative is.
00:47:47.000Where he was like, sensationalist negative news coverage about COVID is making Democrats insane.
00:47:53.000So there was a poll done, New York Times published this, asking Democrats, Republicans, and independents, the likelihood of hospitalization for COVID, what they thought it was.
00:48:04.000more than 50%, I think 75% of Democrats got it wrong. And Republicans got, 26% of Republicans
00:48:11.000were correct. And most of them got it wrong as well, but substantially less than Democrats
00:48:15.000and then 20% of independents. And so Bill Maher's like the media that Democrats consume
00:48:19.000is constantly negative and it's making them crazy. But Donald Trump is bad.
00:48:28.000You get people who are sitting there bored with no purpose, and the media's like, what can we say to manipulate people into giving us money and getting us ad clicks?
00:48:39.000Which is like, people's perception is one thing, you know, just sitting in their homes.
00:48:44.000And then all of a sudden it's like, wait a second, you're telling me that these aren't, it's not a party-like atmosphere.
00:48:49.000And it's a, and it's a, and then the thing is what they'll do is like CNN or MSNBC is you'll watch the news segment and you get, you get fed that fear porn and as soon as the commercials hit, hey, here's those painkillers for your back.
00:49:00.000Here's those painkillers for your back and we're going to shove all that.
00:49:12.000You're watching CNN, that's an amazing point, you're watching CNN, you're watching Fox or whatever, and they're like, people's homes being burned down, children fired upon.
00:49:21.000We'll be back after these messages and then the drug commercials.
00:49:42.000They're both hawking the same products on each side, and all that matters is you just say to that corporate, that party line, as long as corporate America is down with it, you're good to go.
00:49:54.000I will stop though, and I think Brett Baer and Tucker Carlson do a good job.
00:50:34.000their credit but I just had it you know I wouldn't have gotten on if I hadn't
00:50:37.000have literally threatened that I'm not a big fan of Fox News as a whole but Brett
00:50:41.000Baird does a really good job yeah he's a great reporter and Tucker Carlson leans
00:50:45.000into tribalism every so often but he does I think tend to do a pretty good
00:50:48.000job however I'm not a big fan of Ingram or Hannity Kilmeade is doing a new thing recently.
00:50:54.000I talked to him, I thought he does an okay job.
00:50:56.000I think regardless, it's like, let those ideas be exposed to the sunlight and let them die there, rather than, okay, who is it who advertised on this program?
00:51:05.000Okay, you guys all advertised, do you support this specific statement that they said this one time?
00:51:37.000And I think one thing that really opened my, not opened my eyes, but I think it was a good moment for the American people to see was when Tucker Carlson, he was coming to the end of his segment and it was when he was bashing Amazon and Jeff Bezos.
00:51:49.000And then he's handing it off to Sean Hannity.
00:51:51.000You can hear Sean Hannity, obviously he's hearing Tucker.
00:51:53.000Then he goes, Oh, well, we support free market and capitalism.
00:51:58.000And I thought that was actually a great moment for Fox because it shows, hey, we can at least differ on these things, be on the same network.
00:52:38.000And it was an incredible challenge for me to navigate the landscape after the shooting, because I had to basically, I appeared on Fox first.
00:52:51.000The facts prepare for court or had me on.
00:52:54.000I mean, I say, I say like, you got a threat, you got to threaten.
00:52:59.000I say a bunch of wacky stuff on this show, but will the grifters on Twitter ever take the clips of me saying, tax the rich, or police should resign?
00:53:07.000They'll take the clips that are like, Kyle Rittenhouse acted in self-defense, and then they'll tell everyone on the left, Tim Pool is far right or whatever, and then the people who actually watch the show are like, Tim's a liberal.
00:53:15.000All right, Tim, I have to say, when you- I'd agree.
00:53:17.000I'd say Tim's a- I don't know whether you're being sarcastic or not now, because I know you've been doing this, like, I don't know what would you call it, but I know when you're kind of sarcastic, but then- It's called gaslighting, I think, or something like that.
00:53:35.000And the reason I tweeted it is because I was like, I finally started to notice, and I never really cared that much, and I was like, oh, you know what's happening?
00:53:42.000These these these the manipulation machine, the media machine needs an enemy.
00:53:48.000So they they purposefully watch the show and ignore all of like the normal, like kind of liberal positions I might hold and then look for that one thing that's kind of conservative.
00:55:16.000But it's like, it just goes to show how you can just take, you say enough words, you're on camera for eight hours a day, they can choose whatever they want, and then use the power of editing to just portray whatever they want.
00:55:28.000I love it when there was one clip that went viral of me where there was literal jump cuts.
00:55:32.000Because I was issuing caveats, I was like, here's what I think.
00:55:36.000Now keep in mind, A, B, and C, 1, 2, 3.
00:55:38.000But with that said, so they cut out all the caveats, so it's like me going like, I think that Donald Trump is the greatest president ever!
00:56:13.000Because if we know that it's pretty advanced, if the public sees that, I can only imagine the stuff that's being worked on behind the scenes.
00:56:19.000There were pyramids, pyramid-shaped objects flying over U.S.
00:57:18.000And so there's one, I shouldn't say there's two schools, but one idea is that they're on the side of the woke because they need everyone to be drone-like and ideologically homogenous.
00:57:29.000The Galactic Federation Can't work with the United States so long as there's fractured nation-states Which would mean the nationalists are certainly at odds with any alien and you know Endeavor to communicate with us because who they negotiate with each age different country get out of here Could you imagine if you were like we're gonna go talk to Russia on that ten presidents You'd be like no, it's a waste of our time get one president get out of it
00:57:48.000What if they're interdimensional beings, though?
00:57:52.000But the other idea is that they're anti-woke because they're looking to work with those that are intellectually discerning and can understand nuance and complex thought, and there's no point in engaging with a drone-like species.
00:59:34.000It kind of feels that way, like everything, like you can just see everything and you're moving really quick and you're dodging.
00:59:39.000But to me, I think the easier way to explain it is that when you're normally looking at something, you're focused on a single point and you have peripheral vision, which is kind of out of focus and you can kind of sort of understand.
00:59:48.000But for me, when I'd be in a riot and some high intensity thing would happen, all of my vision would become the same focus.
00:59:55.000Like peripheral vision, my whole field of vision would become crystal clear and I could see everything perfectly as if it was not peripheral.
01:00:01.000And that, I think, simulated some kind of time slowing down because your brain is processing everything really, really fast and at once.
01:00:09.000So it's like you're seeing everything and then you can make a move.
01:00:12.000It kind of feels like time slows down.
01:00:14.000That's probably your flow state then, Tim.
01:00:18.000It's like getting shacked in a wave, dude.
01:00:22.000Yeah, like all the water starts coming over you.
01:00:24.000You feel that, like, you're out there, and then all of a sudden you see someone raise a weapon, pull a trigger, and then all of a sudden you're just like... Well, I told the... I mean, when I spoke to police after the shooting, basically all of my estimations on time were way over.
01:00:38.000Because I was like, oh, I think I interviewed him, yeah, it was like 40 minutes, maybe it was an hour.
01:00:43.000It was 15 minutes, you know, but there's so many things leading up when you're Yeah, I would think if time is a perception of motion, then if you're experiencing more motion, that it would seem like less time was happening.
01:00:56.000I wonder if it's actually the perception of time is based upon the amount of information you're processing.
01:01:02.000So if you're experiencing something that you've experienced a million times before, your brain disregards it, and then time starts speeding up the older you get because your brain is ignoring making the coffee in the morning.
01:01:13.000When you're younger, making that coffee for the first or tenth time, it's like relatively new.
01:01:17.000So when you're in a conflict zone, your brain is basically like, in this circumstance, we must process any and all information that comes to us for the sake of our safety.
01:01:27.000Time feels like it's going slower because your brain is running all of these calculations and not ignoring anything.
01:01:34.000So it's like, actually, I guess a better way to put it is, that's the true experience of time, when all of the information is coming into your brain.
01:01:41.000And then the way we normally experience time is there's gaps because we forget things that don't matter.
01:01:46.000That's why, like, when I eat a Big Mac, it seems so quick.
01:02:07.000I bet I could ask you about what happened in Kenosha and you could probably give me crazy details and explain all this crazy story and you'd never forget it.
01:02:15.000It's like, I guess, you know, the amount of details that stick out in your mind.
01:02:19.000And that was the interesting part, too, after the fact, is like talking with the New York Times reporters and stitching together all these different streams.
01:02:25.000And he's like, hey, when you were running after Kyle, you stopped.
01:02:34.000Yeah, I stopped because my gas mask fell out of my bag because I opened my gas mask bag right before I saw Kyle to break out a white claw to diffuse the situation with these guys who want to smash my head in.
01:02:45.000And so I didn't ever clip my gas mask back in because I saw Kyle running and then I just ran after him.
01:02:50.000And you know, like that kind of stuff you don't forget.
01:02:56.000I mean, figuratively, like, I don't know if you remember what you had for breakfast, but people forget like the little nonsensical things that don't matter.
01:03:01.000But what you're in that when you're in the frame and everything is.
01:03:11.000I guess this is why everyone said 2020 went by so fast, because we were all sitting in our apartments doing the same thing over and over and over again.
01:03:18.000So everybody was like, wow, I can't believe how, you know, how I feel like 2020 was like six, seven years, something like that.
01:03:57.000Yeah, I kind of agree with you, Richard.
01:03:58.000I feel like 2020 lasted longer than a year, I guess just because all the commotion that we were in.
01:04:04.000And yeah, I think another interesting thing, too, is when you're on the ground, obviously you have, you know, the flow state, but you start to actually pick up on a lot of tendencies.
01:04:12.000I think they've used the word tendencies in sports more, but you start to pick up tendencies on protesters, agitators, law enforcement, just little knickknacks that you already know, kind of, you know, you can kind of predict some things before they pop up.
01:04:25.000I do want to talk about some cultural stuff in a bit, but I want to do one more because I want to ask you guys your thoughts on what's going to happen.
01:04:31.000But first, I want to pull up this story because we only briefly mentioned it.
01:05:27.000Tim, did you get to see the prosecution's last sentence was like, oh, you guys say that George Floyd died because his heart was too big.
01:05:37.000You know, he died because Derek Chauvin's heart was too small, which was odd for me because on most final lines, they end on like, A fact or something like this.
01:05:47.000They go off that, but it kind of, he, he more did it for like media.
01:05:51.000I don't know what you guys, the most watched trial in history, I guess.
01:05:54.000Well, so, so first I'll ask you guys, I don't know if you've been following, I've been following the court case, but you guys have been on the ground.
01:06:00.000So I don't know if you've been following a lot of the trial stuff, but I'm curious what you guys think based on what you've already seen, based on your experience, what's coming next, what's going to happen in Minnesota.
01:06:13.000Yeah, and we actually, when we were on the ground the last night in Brooklyn Center, I commented to Jorge after the fact.
01:06:21.000It ended up being a completely peaceful evening, but at the beginning, Jorge was inquiring to me, like, yeah, you want to go live, man?
01:06:27.000And I was so bugged out by all the people, all the anti-media sentiment, all the anti-corporation, just the anger in the crowd.
01:06:35.000was so palpable that Jorge is like hitting me up and like I knew that there was one of the organizers in our area and I
01:06:40.000was just like Jorge was like wow Rich is kind of being a jerk but I just
01:06:43.000like was I was bugged out that honestly even me acknowledging him was going to tip people
01:06:48.000everyone was just so mad that I don't know I think it's a powder keg that has nothing to do with the actual realities of the case or anything like that.
01:06:58.000And it's just like lockdowns, it's economics, it's politics, everything.
01:07:02.000I just want to add a little bit real quick.
01:07:04.000I agree with Rich because when you talk to folks on the ground, for them it's like, If they don't hear the word murder is just like doesn't matter and I think just I just think that no matter what happens We're gonna see an eruption I'm going more off the the like my if it's like a prediction thing I actually don't think the rights are gonna hit the magnitude that it did last time I think last summer
01:07:53.000I think it's a good point to say that they're going to say, he was never tried for the true crime of first degree murder, so no matter what happens.
01:08:01.000Tim, how well of a job do you think Eric Nelson did with Derek Chauvin?
01:08:06.000Do you think he at least put a good case in front of the jury where there's no reasonable doubt?
01:08:12.000From my personal opinion, as someone who knows nothing, you know, knows little about the law routes of any of these lawyers, I felt like the state failed to prove its case.
01:08:21.000They couldn't convince me that... Like, dude, I made several videos angry at Chauvin when all this went down, and I was like, this is crazy, and I was like, he shouldn't have done this.
01:08:30.000And then I watched this trial, and I'm like, they did nothing to prove that Chauvin caused the death of George Floyd.
01:08:36.000They only gave me, maybe it happened this way.
01:08:38.000In fact, the prosecution said at one point, maybe it was his enlarged heart, maybe not.
01:08:42.000But Chauvin... And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:08:46.000But by the way, yeah, it has to be... It doesn't... Okay, so... In order to prove murder, it has to be beyond a reasonable doubt that he intended to kill him in that moment, in that space.
01:09:18.000And for Murder 3, the equivalent, according to legal insurrections analysis, would be like Murder 3 is if you're shooting a gun randomly into a crowd and you kill somebody.
01:09:26.000Like, you're doing something that can result in death, but you weren't targeting somebody.
01:09:37.000You were saying that they probably won't even get to 40 years, which is probably going to anger this crowd.
01:09:44.000I watched the defense, and I was shocked when I heard the prosecution's own witness admit Derek Chauvin could have used more force, even a taser if he wanted to.
01:09:54.000That was the state's witness on cross saying this, and as soon as I heard that, I was like, okay, I'm done.
01:09:59.000Now, you mean to tell me that you're claiming he committed assault against George Floyd, and he could have legally used more force than he did?
01:10:06.000Then how is what he did a felony assault?
01:10:08.000He used less force than he was allowed to as a cop.
01:10:21.000Near the end, the state started doing a bit of a better job hitting the points they needed to hit, and the defense slipped on their own expert witness.
01:10:29.000But ultimately, after looking at everything, it was just the state's own witnesses firing shots back at them and hurting their case.
01:10:36.000And it looks like the defense's strategy the whole time was to have a short uh short case so that the state went for several days then uh the defense was substantially less i think they only had like two or three witnesses but then they did like three hours of closing arguments laying out all of the cases i got to tell you man the defense is closing arguments wow it's i i'm for me it's beyond a reasonable doubt but well i'm saying is i have if it's reasonable doubt that he committed a crime is all it takes for me i i think they've actually proven uh chauvin's innocence
01:11:07.000But is this one case, this particular example, is it just too politicized that the jury's gonna say, you know what?
01:11:13.000We gotta convict this guy because it's either our life, or the city's, or across the U.S.
01:11:18.000I don't know, this one is... The city, a city councilwoman.
01:11:22.000voted to fire the city manager and she said it's because i was scared they
01:11:27.000would retaliate against me i think the jury sitting there and their and they're going
01:11:31.000like i don't care about this guy he's guilty no matter what anyone says
01:11:35.000because i don't want to get shot that's what that's where i think there are a i
01:11:40.000mean I mean, at a certain point, like you said, I mean, you're that's your civic duty, right?
01:11:45.000And you're you've you've whether you like it or not, you've stepped into that role.
01:11:49.000Like, am I going to cater my what I saw on the night of Kenosha just because I feel like people want me to say one thing or another?
01:12:00.000And like you at a certain point, you know, If you're serving, you gotta determine what role you're serving in that particular situation.
01:12:09.000And if you're a witness or if you're a jury member, you have to just do your best and then, I mean, I don't know.
01:12:15.000If someone wants to, you know... If it were me on the jury, and after everything I've seen, I'd be saying not guilty.
01:12:23.000I could probably be convinced of maybe manslaughter.
01:12:26.000Like if we argued over the evidence and I heard a compelling case, but I'd probably still be leaning towards not guilty.
01:12:33.000And I'm not gonna change my views based on what Antifa, the left, or the media would say of me.
01:12:38.000I tweeted that, you know, the Kyle Rittenhouse situation convinced me to finally, like, was one of the things that finally convinced me I gotta vote for Trump.
01:12:45.000Because the way the media was lying and portraying everything and demonizing this kid, who, far from perfect, but still, you know, self-defense.
01:12:56.000Yeah, but for me, that's what I felt like and then Trump pinned the tweet and it became a talking point
01:13:01.000The White House press corps was asking the you know, Kayleigh McEnany like Trump pin this tweet
01:13:06.000I'm gonna say what I think even if they're gonna smear me over it. I'm yeah if Antifa threatens me
01:13:11.000I'll tell you this I gotta be honest I'm the kind of person to where if one of these Antifa guys
01:13:16.000or anybody threatens me I double down Yeah, I'd like bring it I've gotten I mean I've got that
01:13:20.000way I've gotten them from both sides because also I'm a victim
01:13:23.000in the criminal complaint So like the people who support, you know, who are anti Kyle Rittenhouse have come after me because like, oh, you know, whatever, this guy's a terrorist, blah, blah, blah.
01:13:36.000And then the other side is saying, you're a wuss, you know, you're not, you're not a victim.
01:13:41.000And like, I just, I just have to say what I experienced, you know, in the moment.
01:13:47.000And the prosecution might take what I say and, you know, make it to suit their role in this situation.
01:13:54.000It's really fascinating watching a trial like this and you really start to understand framing, perception, perspective.
01:14:02.000It's really, really interesting how the truth can be massaged by both sides to fit their needs and like how you can omit certain information to change... Especially when you're the guy stuck in... I remember when I woke... I didn't actually view my role like very... I didn't, you know, think, oh, this is really my duty to do it until the next morning I saw a Vice article just saying, open fire.
01:14:26.000And that terminology, like, it's just... It's no concern for what happened on the ground.
01:15:35.000But if it was a reporter like we want to get a comment I I have left us hit me up for like ridiculous stories I answer him the best of my ability.
01:15:42.000Yeah, exactly I think there's a lot to be said for that instead of shutting it down Well, I see a lot of conservatives will be like no to our request for comment I had someone hit me up from a leftist smear machine and I wrote him a book like I wrote like 3,000 words yeah went in-depth and like bold things and I'm like I I got all the time of day to talk about what I think, so here you go, man.
01:16:03.000I appreciate that you reached out and gave me the opportunity to say my piece, and wish the best for you, and have a good day, good sir.
01:16:09.000But then when people see that from that outlet, then that basically transcends that gap that we're talking about, that schism between the two trenches.
01:16:17.000What they do is, when you supply them with enough words, they can selectively pull quotes.
01:16:22.000But that's why you gotta fight that battle.
01:16:25.000I have basically been fighting that battle to get my word out to both sides.
01:16:29.000And I think actually the one piece that I'm most proud of came out on the Huffington Post.
01:16:34.000And Mary, to her credit, basically wrote this entire article about Rosenbaum's last moments.
01:16:40.000And just because of where people perceive me as coming from politically, They didn't care about my account of that, but those are the same people that are supposed to be saying, this guy died and we should remember him.
01:16:54.000And so that account of his last moments, I think is important to just bring people back to the humanity of, it doesn't matter what this guy's ideology is.
01:17:03.000It doesn't matter the fact that he literally came from a mental hospital, apparently, right before he got shot.
01:17:08.000And then I had people all over the place.
01:17:10.000Why did you try to save that sexual pedo?
01:17:13.000It's like, dude, if somebody's dying in front of you, that's the point.
01:17:17.000It doesn't matter what their ideology is.
01:17:19.000This is interesting, though, because the defense in the Chauvin trial pointed out, this is not about the perspective of a doctor who's watched hundreds of hours of footage for a year.
01:17:27.000It's not about the perspective of, you know, individuals who showed up after everything already happened and then told you their experience.
01:17:34.000It's the perspective of the officer who was there and what he felt, what he perceived, and what he knew.
01:17:38.000And Derek Chauvin is not a, you know, cardiopulmonologist who understands what a seizure is.
01:17:44.000His perspective is George Floyd kicking is a resisting arrest.
01:17:48.000Now a doctor may watch that later and say that was a seizure, but how would a street cop know that?
01:17:53.000For you, when you see a guy shot and he's on the ground, how are you supposed to know what his history is or where he came from?
01:17:59.000All you know is there's a guy in front of me bleeding.
01:18:08.000And by the way, Kyle ran back up behind me after the shooting and I screamed at him to call 911, not even concerned with who it was or whatever.
01:18:17.000And then, you know, after the fact, realizing it's the guy who had, he had a gun right behind me, but my concern was, like, for one thing, it's humanity.
01:18:26.000And, you know, I wasn't like, excuse me, what are your politics?
01:18:29.000It's like, hindsight is 20-20, it's like AOC, when she lied about what happened at the Capitol, the fascinating thing about it, she told that story where she, like, hid in her bathroom and she was like, oh no, they got in the building.
01:18:40.000That story was clearly fabricated because it included details you would only know in hindsight.
01:18:45.000At the time that AOC went to, you know, at the time she cited was like, you know, just around 1 p.m.
01:18:53.000There was no one even trying to get any buildings.
01:18:55.000Only because a day later we saw what happened.
01:18:58.000She now says, at that time I was scared they got in the building, because she's calling upon the anger and the fear people had from the building being breached.
01:19:06.000But that morning, nobody knew that was gonna happen.
01:19:24.000I just know that there's a guy in front of me who's resisting or I know there's a guy in front of me who's hurt.
01:19:27.000And it's always easy for people on the outside to say, Oh, you should have done this, should have done that until they're in that moment.
01:19:33.000And I think, I don't know if you want to maybe add on this Rich, I think what maybe happened to you was just fight or flight, right?
01:19:38.000I think, you know, yeah, there's no, there was no time to make any decisions in like, I don't know.
01:19:44.000I mean, I looked back and was like, could I have done anything else to?
01:19:47.000Yeah for me like knowing you know Richie personally and you know working under him you know to me when I heard that I was like man like it feels good to be associated with someone that is willing to do that for someone.
01:19:58.000I was like I felt you know you feel a moment probably hey I'm glad that like to call him like my editor or whatever because to me that was like you know when people ask me like what would you do I'm like I'm out!
01:20:07.000I mean I'm out so I don't think I could have done the same thing so I think it was it was a brave thing to do and Didn't matter at the end of the day.
01:20:16.000Ultimately, was there anything that could have been done to save his life?
01:20:23.000The toothpaste can't go back into the tube, but you just think to yourself, why did that situation exist in the first place?
01:20:29.000And the only thing that I can do from here is to take that human experience and actually, you know, try to express to people that, you know, like it's not just a video game.
01:20:40.000And like I've seen so many times when we have these crazy situations unfolding in front of us and people are just on their phones.
01:20:46.000And they're just keen on like what the next tweet is.
01:20:49.000And like, at a certain point, the game becomes reality.
01:20:52.000And it's like, people suffer and die as a result of what we're seeing on the ground right now.
01:20:58.000And it's not just people who die there.
01:20:59.000It's people who die as a result of the narrative, you know, that it's like, how many people are economically suffering?
01:21:05.000Because, you know, this news outlet wants to push this narrative or whatever.
01:21:09.000Remember that video, I think it was from Portland, where someone got hit with a rubber bullet in their leg, and they had a mild bruise with some bleeding?
01:21:18.000And then they're like, we gotta put on a tourniquet, man!
01:21:57.000They wish they were their grandparents or great-grandparents storming the beaches of Normandy.
01:22:03.000When in fact, they're just a bunch of kids with umbrellas and they weigh 100 pounds soaking wet.
01:22:07.000And they think they're literally the anti-fascist coalition fighting the Nazis.
01:22:11.000Yeah, and I think I was on the ground, you know, covering these events, and I think I forgot who I told it to.
01:22:16.000I'm like, you know, because you'll be somebody at these events, and then, you know, when they do the speeches part, everyone wants to give their speech.
01:22:23.000Everyone thinks that their speech is going to make a difference.
01:22:24.000I remember turning to one of our fellow reporters.
01:22:26.000I was like, I'm like, why does everyone think they're Malcolm X, bro?
01:22:30.000Everyone thinks that they're going to have their Malcolm X moment, and I just think it's that.
01:22:48.000If those people don't have purpose and they're out there for those reasons and they don't have anything else to turn to, then how do we fix that?
01:22:59.000Like I don't know how to fix that, obviously, but I think the root problem goes back to the family structure and the home.
01:23:06.000And I think as a country, we need to do that too.
01:23:10.000I think one of the biggest mistakes that I think that we made as a country is, for example, with women.
01:23:16.000We like now make it seem bad that if a woman wants to stay home and like nurture her kids and just be a stay-at-home mom and just raise like three kids for them to be good citizens we like look down upon that because now it's like oh well while you're staying home you could be like out there you could be CEO of a company and you could be doing this and I just think That the whole system of not having that family structure I think is leading to a lot of these these these but also like we are in a current situation where even if moms wanted to stay at home for their kids they can't because Wages have stagnated for four years and so that the point is is that in this whole situation?
01:23:52.000And that's why I mentioned the fact that now that Trump is gone.
01:23:54.000It's a whole different ballgame is because just prior to that During the Trump era, it was like, well, you're either you're either for Trump or you're not.
01:24:02.000And now that he's gone, it's like, wait a second, all the underlying problems that caused people to go to the streets in the first place on both sides of the political spectrum, those all still exist.
01:24:10.000And so, like, unless we address those, then this will just continue.
01:24:14.000Everybody will continue to dig deeper and deeper.
01:24:16.000So, like, I guess the only point is, like, how do we address those underlying problems in a responsible manner in the media?
01:24:23.000Because that's why we're here, in my opinion.
01:24:33.000For instance, like when someone on the left comes out and says, we want free college, people on the right make fun of like, Oh my God, look, this guy wants free college and blah, blah, blah.
01:25:08.000I know we, in the United States, we have a birth birth birth rate problem and it's not helping.
01:25:12.000That's why I actually, I just made it, I made a tweet a week ago.
01:25:15.000I know I'm probably going to get roasted a little bit for it, but I said, If you actually want to save the country, get married and have five kids.
01:25:22.000You actually are serving your country if you do that.
01:25:28.000But I do believe, you know, corporations, politics, politicians, they all have made it harder for us to have families, have kids.
01:25:35.000And I think we're now seeing that destruction come out in society when it comes to riots and protests and all the crime that we're seeing.
01:25:40.000That's why they're going into schools though.
01:25:42.000They're going to schools with critical race theory to make sure that even if you have kids, they're gonna indoctrinate them before you can.
01:25:48.000Yeah, they want to keep people confused.
01:25:50.000And I want to say that, I mean, like the Federal Reserve, we've got to default on that interest to the Federal Reserve and evolve our economy to a cryptocurrency economy.
01:25:56.000But I got to say, Ian, when you bring up the Federal Reserve, you're basically like, imagine there's a giant Mechagodzilla and you're pointing to one of his claws on his finger going, that's the problem right there, that one finger.
01:26:20.000The Federal Reserve is a broken system that basically allows special interests to extract the value of the working class and the labor force and then buy ridiculous things with it, and we don't even know what they're doing.
01:26:30.000But the bigger problem is just, before you can even get to that, you gotta deal with the fact that Mechagodzilla's got a force field.
01:26:38.000How do you get people to actually help you build the powerful laser to take out Mechagodzilla's index finger?
01:26:44.000I mean, dude, you got a pretty legit operation here.
01:26:46.000I mean, that's testament to the fact that somebody who speaks the alternative, you know, something that's beyond just, like, the corporate talking points, they can succeed.
01:27:06.000So in terms of Fox News talking to you and CNN talking to you about what happened with Rittenhouse, where do you think you were able to actually express the truth the best?
01:27:16.000On CNN, after I threatened to sue them.
01:27:18.000The CNN gave you the best opportunity?
01:27:23.000Like it was only and it was the same guy who did the original story and I give him a lot of credit for coming back and doing it.
01:27:28.000But also I think, you know, probably I don't really know what happened behind the scenes, but probably somebody was like, you screwed this up.
01:27:35.000Now throw an independent media and out of all the different platforms that exist.
01:27:39.000So I think that the independent media has kind of, if you're digital media, right, then you're only as powerful as how many views you get.
01:27:47.000You're only as relevant as how many retweets you get.
01:27:50.000That's why Jorge, Shelby and I and everybody at The Caller, it's like, yo, don't use terminology just to get likes.
01:27:56.000Don't say just exactly what your audience wants to hear.
01:27:59.000And in fact, oftentimes we're doing quite the opposite.
01:28:02.000But over time, hopefully, you know, that So I think, I think, uh, the challenges, you know, I think it's hilarious.
01:28:10.000The left leftists like, you know, would call me a grifter, but it's based upon their pulling bunk clips.
01:28:16.000I wish I would just, you know, look, there's so many people on YouTube who just say the most outrageous shock stuff and they get the biggest views.
01:28:50.000And that includes me, that includes progressives.
01:28:53.000I think for the most part, most people in politics aren't grifting, except for the corporate media that are trying to get their foot in the door.
01:28:59.000I think independent media tends to be alright.
01:29:03.000Corporate media for sure is grifting because they'll literally just get a PR statement from the Democratic Party and they'll just report it.
01:29:08.000So MSNBC to me, they're just PR for the Democratic Party.
01:29:16.000No, but I mean, I think it's actually, and I hear people say this all the time, like, oh, you know, corporate media, they want this or they want that.
01:29:23.000It's not to say that like, because like working at NBC and MSNBC, I would say the real revealing thing was that not the fact that like everything is scripted per se, it's still live, but if you step out of line from those, you know, you're on the B, you're in the B block, right?
01:29:39.000You're this guest and your perspective is this.
01:29:41.000If you stray from that, you say something that was unpredictable to those producers, buh-bye.
01:31:55.000You look at Public Enemy and the things they were saying, and the corporations were like, how can we stop these people yelling at us?
01:32:00.000I know, we'll adopt their message, it won't hurt us in the least bit, and they'll have no choice but to be like, I guess we agree with the corporations.
01:32:06.000And they had these rappers tab dancing for Joe Biden when I'm like, you're in the 90s, they were chilling your dad, bro!
01:33:03.000I was anti-Bush and now all of a sudden people are like... The left in the 70s would be mad at the wages that Amazon is paying their employees now.
01:33:09.000They're just happy that Amazon puts a Black Lives Matter thing while they're shipping a product on Amazon Prime.
01:33:13.000But to be fair, the progressives don't like Amazon.
01:33:15.000It's like the neoliberal, uninitiated, mindless Democrat voters.
01:33:45.000Like, I don't know, I mean, we can argue about economics as friends and we can have a good time and then celebrate that we're all armed to the teeth and stand in opposition to the war machine and the manipulation of massive corporations.
01:33:57.000I'm cool with the progressives on that one and the conservatives on that one.
01:34:00.000I think the libertarian... Actually, I'll put it this way.
01:34:02.000It was a funny meme from Political Compass Memes.
01:34:05.000And it's the Libertarian left and the Libertarian right.
01:34:07.000The Libertarian left says, defund the police.
01:36:02.000Yeah, I mean, that's a tale as old as time right there.
01:36:05.000For me, it was like if you're, you know, because I'm always speaking to progressives, but if you're a progressive voter, you wanted a $15 minimum wage, universal health care and all that stuff.
01:36:29.000Donald Trump was aggressive and stormed in and took over the Republicans.
01:36:33.000Bernie Sanders stormed in and got shoved down, and the Bernie Sanders types decided to agree with the Democrats for the sake of just maintaining some kind of leverage, and the Trump supporters took over.
01:36:43.000And then the Republicans fought Trump, agreed with Russiagate, tried to get him out, and then literally did.
01:36:49.000It's interesting you say that because a lot during the 2016 election, a lot of the Daily Caller subscribers followers were all uh... bernie supporters
01:36:57.000but i think the edit just it goes to show that hillary clinton was kind of
01:37:01.000ideologically representative of the centrist establishment which is like
01:37:06.000we'll just keep those wars going and everything else i became we saw he died
01:37:09.000haha haha you also saw a generation of voters on the left and right
01:37:13.000they said well why we keep voting for these people
01:37:15.000They just shipped our jobs to China, my dad is now on opioids, and we're getting a divorce, and our family's breaking up.
01:37:22.000But for me, the reason why we're not seeing the populist left and the populist right come more together than it already is, is because of media.
01:37:29.000Like I said, if you turn on Fox, and anyone that agrees with Bernie Sanders on free education and free healthcare, they're a Nazi and a communist.
01:37:36.000When it's like, yo, when it comes to the healthcare system and big education, they're gonna screw you over whether you're a Republican or a Democrat.
01:38:42.000There's a lot of different individuals in the lottery.
01:38:45.000Just on a real quick little tip that Richie brought on the Koch brothers, if you guys remember in 2015 when people would interview Bernie Sanders about his 2016 run, they would say, do you support open borders?
01:38:54.000Bernie Sanders would say, absolutely not.
01:38:56.000Open borders is a big establishment move by the Koch brothers.
01:38:59.000The thing is, now he moved into a window and I think Bernie doesn't believe it, but he just has to say it because he's on that side.
01:39:04.000Now he has to say, Uh, you know, I wasn't for that, but even Bernie said in his 2015 interviews, if we do open boards, it hurts American wages first.
01:39:13.000Well, how about we jump over to Super Chats and see what the audience has to say.
01:39:16.000So for all of you that are listening, make sure you smash that like button, share the podcast if you really like it, that really helps, and subscribe.
01:39:22.000And if you're listening on iTunes or Spotify, leave us a good review, give us five stars, let's see what we got.
01:39:26.000TripSucks says, I have been a pro graffiti writer for 15 years and I've tagged 20 countries, including Antarctica.
01:39:32.000I'd love to help decorate a portion of the skate park and give you all a demo of how it's done.
01:39:49.000Short films, movies, documentaries, shows, and art projects.
01:39:52.000But I will advise you, we're going to get a ton of emails.
01:39:57.000And I can only just say serious pitches only, because with all due respect, I want to be nice, because I really do appreciate everybody who's interested.
01:40:06.000We do get a lot of people who have no relevant experience in many areas asking to do jobs that they can't do.
01:40:12.000I mean, I'm trying to be, you know, again, with all due respect, I appreciate the interest in some of these jobs, but if you're someone who's, like, not worked in media and you want to now all of a sudden make a video, there's a lot you probably don't realize you don't know, and so it's not as easy to do.
01:40:26.000But, you know, I think we're definitely accommodating for a lot of people, so pitches at TimCast.com.
01:40:33.000All right, Tommy Durgarian says, amazing content as always.
01:40:36.000Shout out for my company LevelRide Concepts.
01:40:38.000Message me about member decals I can make for you at LevelRide Concepts.
01:42:01.000DermiWormy says, in regards to Falcon and Winter Soldier, you need to talk to Gary from Nerdrotic.
01:42:06.000We will have a bonus segment coming up where I will get into all of that stuff, because I have... I think Falcon and Winter Soldier is actually nuanced and relatively anti-woke.
01:45:44.000I was spending nearly as much on super chats as I made per month.
01:45:47.000You both sound like collectivists, but I'm more with Tim.
01:45:50.000Death by starvation is the default for all living things.
01:45:53.000Yo part of me really is with you on this like let him just let him suffer.
01:45:58.000I think about that a lot like are humans a virus on this planet and we just got to let it eat itself out or should we be stand up for these ignorant fools and help them survive?
01:46:36.000Well, because I said, look at the Great Reset stuff.
01:46:40.000What if it's true that we are like yeast in, you know, just eating the sugars and farting ourselves to death?
01:46:46.000Are we destined just to reach a point where we just eventually, you know, just fart ourselves to death?
01:46:52.000Maybe we do need some kind of reset to kind of stop humans from just eating until we explode.
01:46:58.000Alex was like, you know, he's like, it's an important question because I think about this all the time.
01:47:03.000You know, how do you balance the fact that we may be on a runaway train to destroy civilization as we know it, with the same fact that you can't be an authoritarian wingnut, manipulating, you know, people and stealing their rights?
01:47:15.000It's like, it's a tough question, man.
01:47:18.000The problem is, I don't trust the people who tell me the world is ending, and the oceans are rising, and they buy beachfront property.
01:47:24.000It's like, look man, if you really want to convince me of all these problems, like, we gotta stop overpopulation because global warming, then you go and buy beachfront property?
01:47:32.000I kind of think you're lying to me about this.
01:47:34.000We need to take a private jet to Europe for a conference?
01:47:36.000I'm not saying I think climate change isn't a real problem.
01:48:30.000I can't blame them, but the problem itself isn't necessarily the reason there's a problem, but you still have to eradicate the problem, often.
01:49:09.000You know, the ebbs and flows of the two party system have a tendency to oscillate between, like, you know, chaos and order, you know, the creative and the authoritarian.
01:49:20.000Like, so everybody in the 1960s was like, oh, my God, these kids are going to be the death of us.
01:49:27.000And now those kids are freaking boomers.
01:49:29.000So how did this system course correct?
01:49:32.000Well, I think like responsibility kicked in.
01:49:36.000Well, culture came around and politics is downstream of culture.
01:49:40.000Not to use that overwrought Breitbart quote, but it kind of is.
01:49:43.000And so Reagan was elected after Clint Eastwood became the, you know, the cool, strong alpha male, that archetype, that male archetype in the 1970s on the tail end of this.
01:49:56.000I think what Donald Trump did was he kind of, like, just hijacked the entire political system, and before our culture was able to course-correct back in that Clint Eastwood direction, you know, he basically hijacked it, and now everyone's like, oh my god, the whole thing's burning down, because it's not a natural ebb and flow.
01:50:13.000All right, well, let's read some more Super Chats.
01:50:14.000Because of the media, the power of the media.
01:50:16.000Robert Yes says, the world is going insane, but at least I have my doge coin, like a good doggo.
01:51:14.000Joshua Sanfilippo says, Police are cool and all, but where are the local private militias and armed private citizens standing to defend life, liberty, and property?
01:51:22.000I live in Florida, and I know what I'd be doing if the riots were happening down here.
01:51:26.000Weren't there people doing that in Minnesota?
01:51:27.000Yeah, I was gonna say, well, in the Brooklyn Center, there was people that came out and defended businesses after the first night, so...
01:51:33.000Those folks did come out. They might not always get the media attention that they deserve, but they did come out.
01:52:22.000Dr. DeLuna says, YouTube is basically the Minneapolis of the video hosting platforms.
01:52:26.000It still makes money off those who choose to stay.
01:52:29.000When's the move to alt tech platform scheduled?
01:52:32.000Timcast.com has been up and running for only a few months now, and we are actively working on producing new content on that platform exclusively, as well as some YouTube stuff, because we're not looking at, in my opinion, the same thing as we have a ride about to erupt in our city and it's going to burn to the ground and you need to find a place to live.
01:52:50.000We're looking at a massive cultural shift with what YouTube does and what is important for a business.
01:53:00.000People who have dedicated their lives to following YouTube, or I'm sorry, their careers to following YouTube's rules, find themselves banned overnight for no reason without understanding why.
01:53:09.000Or they get strikes and then they're accused of things.
01:53:16.000But what happens when you dedicate a decade to producing content for YouTube, YouTube says, here are the rules, say, you got it, and then eventually they change the rules and arbitrarily enforce taking you down?
01:53:26.000YouTube is an unsafe place to run a business.
01:53:30.000We're setting up TimCast.com and we've repeatedly talked about creating an open source subscription service.
01:53:36.000So the issue is right now we're trying to build something new.
01:54:00.000You mentioning that, I think it's really encouraging to see the success of news businesses putting things behind a paywall because we created Daily Caller Patriots Only.
01:54:13.000While we were traveling around the country to cover these riots, we found that, okay, Facebook picks up on the fact, oh, these guys are in Portland, okay, Portland riots, demonetized.
01:54:22.000So we can't monetize it on YouTube, we can't monetize it on Facebook, but what we can do is say, hey, patriots, we're gonna show you guys what's really happening on the ground.
01:54:30.000If you subscribe, subscribe to click, and actually, it's actually allowed us to fund not only that content, but content to show the rest of America what's going on.
01:54:38.000And I wanna just really quick add, Richie, is, YouTube has already, this has been proven, they're hitting independent news channels or just news channels that they don't like.
01:54:50.000Hitting them hard with algorithms and you literally can't be seen.
01:54:52.000I mean literally at our Daily Caller thing we have over 700,000 subscribers and I mean they're just hitting us.
01:55:08.000I know it started with Jordan Sharpton at the status quo.
01:55:11.000He's actually a progressive on the left, and a lot of progressives on the left, and I'll fight for them on the free speech thing, but a lot of news channels, independent media is getting hit by the algorithm, and a lot of these progressive left-wing channels, they cover the January 6th riots, They've sold footage to CNN and MSNBC, yet they'll get demonetized for the same footage.
01:55:44.000We got Dave Weissbrick, he says, Tim, bold of you to tell city people to stand up to rioters regardless of the consequences when you ran away to the countryside due to last year's riots.
01:55:52.000I think I repeatedly told people to leave Minneapolis over and over again, because I literally did.
01:55:57.000So, you see, people need to understand, I'm not arbitrarily being like, people need to do something.
01:56:02.000No, I literally was like, I'm not going to live in a place that can't protect me, so I left.
01:56:06.000Because I don't want to be supporting that.
01:56:08.000The people of Minneapolis could be doing that.
01:57:33.000Let's see, Eric Miller, if all cops are bad, then all BLM are rioters.
01:57:36.000I support neither, but if BLM, the organization, doesn't want violence, then they have the money to hire private security to control the marchers, but they don't.
01:57:43.000Did you hear the squad hired a bunch of private security?
01:59:58.000We did recently have an idea for a board game.
02:00:00.000Maybe it exists, but the idea is that it's... The game would be a...
02:00:07.000an orbital space station doing experiments with antimatter explodes or the reactor detonates
02:00:14.000creating and then freezing creating a rift where there's two dimensions like overlaid on each other
02:00:20.000and they can you can sort of see both that's fun and so the board game would actually be three
02:00:24.000dimensional with magnets where each character you know like clue there's like you know mr plumb or
02:00:31.000whatever professor plumb There would actually be two John Smiths, two Jane Does, but there's like Universe A and Universe B. And then certain universes have certain components, so like, that was kind of a general idea we had for a board game we wanted to make.
02:00:43.000We can't come into contact because they'll annihilate each other, like the antiparticle.
02:00:47.000Yeah, like two people, two of the same characters can't be in the same place at the same time.
02:00:53.000But then, like, an electrical conduit will be shifted into Universe A, and then to open a door, Universe A has to hit the switch to open the door in Universe B. So it would be a game where there would be, like, components that move around.
02:01:03.000So basically, like, what we were talking about, you guys being LARPing nerds earlier?
02:01:14.000Lord of Nazgoth says, Tim, the problem in this country is folks like your buddy Ian.
02:01:20.000They are all too happy to lose themselves in a web of moral relativism and conspiracy.
02:01:26.000I'm not happy about it, but the philosophy is dangerous, dark, and must be done.
02:01:31.000dingus malingas says tim i live in minneapolis our mayoral and city council election is coming november both the state ag and hennepin county attorney elections were in 18 and up again in 22 voters may have also thought orange man bad made people freak out more You had a president who was like, the riots have to stop!
02:01:49.000And you had a president who was like, my staff, come on, man, they're donating to this!
02:01:52.000And Kamala Harris was like, give me money to get the rioters out!
02:01:56.000And people were like, I'm gonna vote for the lady who wants the rioters to be out of jail.
02:03:42.000I will say this though, for those who are looking for internships where they might be in high school or college and are looking into journalism, I actually watched Tim Pool back in Vice.
02:03:51.000That's actually, when I was in high school, I watched Tim Pool back in Vice.
02:03:53.000I actually wouldn't even be on the front line.
02:03:55.000And then you DM'd me and I gave you a job for one sandwich a week.
02:03:58.000You just have to get tear gassed every week.
02:04:37.000You were lit dude, bro, I'm I go fasting.
02:04:42.000I'm just talking about what we need to bring punk rock to the main we need to confront I gotta read this.
02:04:50.000Okay J Mill says the guest with the point-break shirt on looks like an attempt to create an intelligent version of Matthew McConaughey's character from dazed and confused.
02:06:57.000I'll make my own movie that I do like.
02:06:59.000And then if people like that, they can buy it.
02:07:01.000So I'll tell you this, if I had a choice, like people sign up for TimCast.com and money comes in, if I had a choice between buying an infinity pool or buying the labor that creates awesome articles, I would rather give someone a job.
02:07:12.000And by the way, the cost for that labor in order to produce that video or that article is cheaper now than it ever has been previously in human history.
02:07:21.000I mean, this is like the printing press 2.0.
02:07:24.000People don't realize, oh, our speech is getting censored, all this stuff.
02:07:28.000You can still create your own platform.
02:07:31.000I would rather hire someone to go report on the ground like you guys do, than own an infinity pool or something like that.
02:07:38.000Because, I'll tell you this, you're at a party, everyone's drinking, everyone's bragging, what's better, look at my pool or look at this award winning journalism that's changing the world?
02:08:55.000The people in this country are split into political sectarianism.
02:08:58.000Part of what bothered me about Trump, and I don't hate him, but is that he always, he tended to talk about being the best and being the one and like, I'm the best, I'm the best.
02:09:06.000And I find that a team and supporting your friends is like so key.
02:09:09.000If you can be part of a community where you, the people around you become better and stronger.
02:09:14.000I don't think that's the problem though.
02:09:15.000I feel like Trump was actually more like, we are the best, like, This country is the best.
02:09:21.000I think the problem is, is it's like digital versus reality, which is like the, you know, the younger you are right now, the more important your digital identity is, right?
02:09:30.000Like as compared to your actual identity.
02:09:33.000So whether or not you're a team player or you're me or you're awesome here, it's, it's a matter of whether or not you're awesome.
02:09:38.000Like, are you awesome in real life, IRL, or are you awesome on the internet?
02:09:43.000And like, what matters more now is that you're awesome on the internet.
02:09:47.000I coach these kids and they're all they, they're all trying to like stay on their phones and like maintain all these digital relationships.
02:11:29.000Now, I'm investing in fun stuff that's inspirational.
02:11:34.000I want people to, you know, feel like they can accomplish things and judge people on the content of their character, the color of their skin, you know what I mean?
02:11:41.000What happened at Tony Stark's headquarters?
02:11:47.000No, but that's important, like, what you're building is actually, it's completely different from, like, any other kind of commodity that you're providing, which is, like, it's, the proof is only in the pudding of, like, what you put out on the internet in video, you know, or on, in print.
02:12:01.000It's not, like, quantifiable, like, you built this building, but it's important.
02:12:05.000You know what's weird to me is there's so many people who are very rich off of doing commentary, and they, they just, like, their accomplishment is the fact that they're rich.
02:12:44.000Well, that being said, a lot of listening is required over at TimCast.com because an exclusive segment is coming up for our members only in just a little bit.

02:13:57.000For live updates on like on the ground, real-time, Ventura Report, you know, just want to shout out all the hard-working journalists out there covering the Civil Unrest, the Daily Caller VidSquad, but also A big shout out to Tim Poole because it's a big thing when journalists like us who are on the ground, who are working hard to get this info out.
02:14:15.000It's great when Tim uses this platform to give us a platform to get this information out to more people.
02:14:20.000I think that doesn't happen enough in journalism.
