Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Jury Finds Chauvin GUILTY On ALL COUNTS, Protests Underway w-Catalina Lauf

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:45.000 you Dirk Chauvin found guilty on every single count or at least

00:01:10.000 all the murder charges.

00:01:12.000 When they announced the verdict was coming in, turned the TV on, I sat down, and we all sat in suspense waiting for them to make the announcement.

00:01:17.000 And the judge came in and he read the verdict on the count of murder in the second degree, guilty.

00:01:22.000 Murder in the third degree, guilty.

00:01:23.000 And manslaughter in second degree, guilty.

00:01:26.000 And I think a lot of people expected this because the verdict came back so soon.

00:01:31.000 As soon as this verdict came out, we saw people in the streets, you know, cheering, celebrating, and crying.

00:01:36.000 Now they're marching already.

00:01:37.000 I don't know if there's going to be riots.

00:01:39.000 I think there likely still will be riots, because all of the people are outside.

00:01:43.000 That's all that really matters.

00:01:44.000 A lot of people don't care about whether there's a verdict or not.

00:01:46.000 And some of these organizations and activists are saying it's not justice.

00:01:49.000 Obama said it's not justice.

00:01:50.000 AOC said it's not justice.

00:01:52.000 True justice would be if Floyd was alive and the whole system has to be reformed.

00:01:56.000 So these people are out marching.

00:01:57.000 I think it's possible that eventually the police say, you need to stop and go home.

00:02:00.000 They say, F you.

00:02:01.000 They throw a brick, boom, more riots.

00:02:03.000 It's going to be particularly interesting to see how the public reacts when they realize that nothing will satiate the violence.

00:02:10.000 We got a lot about this to talk about.

00:02:11.000 There's a lot of stories.

00:02:12.000 Maxine Water was defended by Democrats over her threats against the jury and incitement to insurrection.

00:02:16.000 And we're going to have to break this down and, man, it's going to get brutal.

00:02:21.000 But we have a great guest today.

00:02:22.000 We have former Trump staffer and current, well, I guess you're running for Congress in Illinois 16th, Catalina Love.

00:02:28.000 Want to introduce yourself real quick?

00:02:29.000 Yes, thanks so much for having me.

00:02:31.000 I'm running for Congress in Illinois' 16th District, former appointee to the Department of Commerce, and Midwestern girl.

00:02:41.000 You are running against the infamous Adam Kinzinger.

00:02:44.000 Yes, he was one of the 10 who voted to impeach President Trump and is just all around, you know, weak-kneed, backstabbing.

00:02:53.000 There's still some time until the primary, right?

00:02:57.000 Yes, so it'll be next year.

00:02:59.000 We're running in 2022.

00:03:02.000 And, and it's been a great, great run so far.

00:03:04.000 A lot of people are so fed up with the way that, you know, not only politicians on all sides of the aisle have been acting lately, but certainly, uh, some of these kind of traitors on the Republican party side.

00:03:15.000 So we're really excited and we've had a ton of energy and support and we can't wait.

00:03:20.000 Well, we'll, we'll, we'll talk all about it.

00:03:20.000 Right on.

00:03:22.000 We got Ian.

00:03:22.000 He's chilling.

00:03:22.000 Yo, what up dudes?

00:03:24.000 Ian Crosland over here.

00:03:25.000 Ian was pissed.

00:03:27.000 I was like, Ian, stop swearing.

00:03:28.000 I was out of my mind.

00:03:29.000 Tim earlier was like, well, they already, they already came to a verdict.

00:03:32.000 And I was like, well, I guess he's innocent then.

00:03:34.000 I guess they found him innocent.

00:03:35.000 That was my only, because it was so fast, but I guess getting them guilty on all equally as possible.

00:03:40.000 I just shocking. 0.93

00:03:41.000 It's like clown world.

00:03:42.000 I would, I would have been, if it was, we'll save it. 0.81

00:03:44.000 We'll save it.

00:03:45.000 Cause we're going to go off.

00:06:01.000 It is time to talk news.

00:06:02.000 I wanted to save the- the- keep the intro to a- to a minimum because we are about to go off on this...

00:06:08.000 Jury finds Derek Chauvin guilty of murder.

00:06:12.000 No swearing.

00:06:13.000 No swearing.

00:06:14.000 I couldn't believe it.

00:06:15.000 I absolutely could believe it.

00:06:15.000 No, I could believe it.

00:06:16.000 The jury was threatened.

00:06:18.000 Maxine Waters threatened the jury.

00:06:19.000 The rioters threatened the jury.

00:06:21.000 And there are left-wing journalists right now saying the only reason we got this verdict is because we spent months out in the streets.

00:06:28.000 And I'm like, they're even admitting it.

00:06:31.000 It was the threat of violence and destruction that resulted in the jury saying Derek Chauvin should go to prison.

00:06:37.000 On second-degree murder.

00:06:39.000 Now, I want to be fair.

00:06:41.000 They're getting on the felony murder rule, arguing that it was assault against George Floyd.

00:06:45.000 And because it was felony assault and George Floyd died, therefore it's murder.

00:06:49.000 Okay.

00:06:50.000 I think there's maybe an argument of assault, but this is what really makes me think this is nuts.

00:06:57.000 We watched the video in great detail.

00:06:59.000 The defense showed the video.

00:07:00.000 George Floyd was resisting arrest.

00:07:02.000 A bystander even said, you can't win man, just get in the car.

00:07:06.000 No joke.

00:07:06.000 The prosecution and the defense showed that in closing arguments.

00:07:09.000 A guy yelling to Floyd to stop resisting.

00:07:11.000 Some random bystander.

00:07:13.000 So I'm sitting here like, why is the prosecution showing George Floyd actively resisting and a bystander saying stop resisting?

00:07:20.000 So you mean to tell me that a cop is trying to arrest somebody for a counterfeit, for potential under the influence, and now a resisting arrest, and it's assault if the guy says, hold me on the ground, hold me on the ground, hold me on the ground, like George Floyd did, and then Chauvin holds him on the ground, and they say, that's felony assault.

00:07:38.000 Oh, and he died?

00:07:39.000 Murder.

00:07:39.000 Now he's gonna go to prison.

00:07:41.000 So I'll tell you this.

00:07:42.000 I'm not a big fan.

00:07:43.000 I'm not interested in defending the state or police institutions as a whole.

00:07:47.000 My interest is in the individual Derek Chauvin and his rights.

00:07:52.000 And I'm not happy that, you know, about what happened to George Floyd, but I will tell you, if you got a problem with the state and the system and the policing, take it up with the state, the system, and the policing.

00:08:00.000 But now, you know what happened?

00:08:02.000 The state literally won.

00:08:03.000 It was the state of Minnesota versus Derek Chauvin.

00:08:07.000 And the state won their case.

00:08:09.000 Why?

00:08:09.000 Because leftists, extremists, activists went out, burned down their city, Leftist journals are the ones saying this.

00:08:16.000 Their being on the ground and engaging these activities resulted in this verdict.

00:08:19.000 Maxine Waters making these threats.

00:08:21.000 And so, the jury sided with the state.

00:08:25.000 Chauvin's one man.

00:08:26.000 You got a problem with the actions of an individual officer that crossed the line?

00:08:29.000 By all means, hold him accountable.

00:08:31.000 But Chauvin is acting as per the rules of the police department.

00:08:35.000 Arrest somebody if they commit a crime.

00:08:36.000 If they resist arrest, here's the force you can use.

00:08:39.000 I don't see how throwing one man under the bus is gonna solve any of these problems.

00:08:43.000 And I still think we're gonna see riots so nothing gets solved in the long run other than a bunch of weak and terrified jurors who just say, Guilty because I'd rather not have my house burned down.

00:08:54.000 I think I agree with Obama that it was not justice.

00:08:57.000 And Alexandria Cortez wasn't justice. 1.00

00:09:00.000 Obama, but right, you're taking it the other direction.

00:09:02.000 Yeah, I am taking it the other direction, Barack, because it wasn't.

00:09:06.000 Barack Obama said true justice is about much more than a single verdict.

00:09:11.000 AOC said this is not justice because they need to keep the grift going.

00:09:16.000 They need to always be angry.

00:09:18.000 Well, think about everything that led up to all this.

00:09:21.000 I mean, even when you look at the riots and all this, when you have people that are not firm on people going to jail, I mean, we saw massive amounts of damage, millions of dollars.

00:09:37.000 This was obviously incredibly politicized.

00:09:39.000 And then to your point about Maxine Waters, When you have all these kind of like tectonic plates almost building up this pressure and then ultimately have, you know, the media on talking about this and being in favor of the way it should go, quote unquote, and then you have politicians speaking out.

00:09:59.000 And then on top of that, all this civil unrest that's kind of really creating this this pressure.

00:10:04.000 It really is concerning on who is choosing You know, is this going to happen a lot?

00:10:14.000 I mean, when does it, when does the the rioting and the everything that led up to this, when does it end?

00:10:22.000 You know the one, they say, you know, what, God closes a door, he opens a window?

00:10:27.000 The one thing I can see is I think the Second Amendment's about to get a whole lot stronger.

00:10:31.000 If these people are going to go out and riot, I really don't see why they would not.

00:10:34.000 Because you have the Dante Wright incident as well.

00:10:36.000 So they're not going to be satisfied with just this.

00:10:38.000 I think it would have been way worse.

00:10:40.000 But now I can only imagine more liberals are going to be like, need to buy a gun?

00:10:43.000 So I guess there's that at least.

00:10:45.000 And to your point, I tweeted this.

00:10:48.000 Or I should say, I tweeted this, and it works to your point.

00:10:51.000 I said, let this be a lesson to all police.

00:10:53.000 You will be charged.

00:10:55.000 You will be imprisoned.

00:10:56.000 When I saw that story about, uh, Kim Potter is her name, I think?

00:10:59.000 The cop in the Dante Wright thing?

00:11:00.000 I'm like, why is she- why is anyone surprised this is happening to her?

00:11:03.000 I think if you're a cop watching this happen to Chauvin and these other officers, and you choose to stay there, hey man, it's a free country, you do what you want to do.

00:11:12.000 But there's only so much I can do to defend you when you know what the mob wants, you know the politicians are going to give it to them, and you know there will not be a fair trial.

00:11:22.000 You expect to get passed through this?

00:11:24.000 I don't think so.

00:11:24.000 Well, and we're seeing so much of a, I mean, all campaigning.

00:11:28.000 I talk with a lot of law enforcement.

00:11:31.000 We're in such a, you know, back the blue type of area where you have so many people either retiring from the law, from the police force and law enforcement people.

00:11:39.000 They have shortages now.

00:11:41.000 People don't even want to join the force.

00:11:44.000 I think eventually, I mean, these things need to be done in an honest way.

00:11:50.000 And that's just not happening right now.

00:11:54.000 It's perfectly in line with what the left wanted.

00:11:56.000 Defund the police, abolish the police, and if that doesn't work, drive the police out with threats and intimidation and terror.

00:12:03.000 The court of public opinion is making me nervous.

00:12:06.000 It's really powerful.

00:12:07.000 I knew it was powerful in 2006 when I saw YouTube videos and that you could get 50,000 people to call somebody at the same time on the same day and then the next day do it again.

00:12:17.000 Or order pizzas.

00:12:18.000 And it causes serious problems.

00:12:20.000 Take all your money out of the bank at the same time on the same day.

00:12:23.000 Just crash a bank on any given day.

00:12:25.000 Any YouTuber could do that.

00:12:27.000 And I know these are mutual exclusive, but also why was it encouraged?

00:12:31.000 I mean, you had encouragement on the BLM and the riots and the protesting from all these different angles as well.

00:12:39.000 And I know it's a little different from the actual, you know, verdict today, but these things are being encouraged.

00:12:45.000 And that is a big problem.

00:12:47.000 At what point are your elected officials going to stand up and say, no, It's not gonna happen until regular people say something, and they won't because they're scared.

00:12:58.000 So, you know, Ian and I got in an argument the other day where I was like, if the people of Minneapolis, the Twin Cities of Minnesota, will not personally stand up and say, I support the police and this is wrong, then the police have no support.

00:13:13.000 Now you can whisper it to your friends, it ain't enough.

00:13:16.000 These people don't want to put Blue Lives Matter flags up, they want to put American flags up because they know they'll get targeted.

00:13:21.000 Okay.

00:13:21.000 Then the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

00:13:23.000 The reason why it's being encouraged?

00:13:25.000 Major corporations, no.

00:13:27.000 There's no opposition.

00:13:28.000 If they come out and they... Ben and Jerry's?

00:13:31.000 Ben and Jerry's ice cream company yelling at me about racist cops?

00:13:34.000 Like, I don't care, dude.

00:13:35.000 You guys make cookie ice cream.

00:13:37.000 I don't need to hear from you about the police department.

00:13:39.000 It's fine, I guess.

00:13:40.000 I don't care.

00:13:41.000 Market how you want to market. 1.00

00:13:42.000 I just think it's absurd that someone's like, I'm gonna start an ice cream company, and my marketing pitch is, you're a racist and evil. 0.99

00:13:47.000 Buy my ice cream. 0.95

00:13:49.000 But the reason they do that is because there's zero opposition.

00:13:52.000 So what's the downside?

00:13:54.000 If they come out and they say, go riot and go in the streets, no conservative will do anything.

00:13:59.000 They might complain about it.

00:14:00.000 I mean, we did have the conservatives burning all their Nike gear when Colin Kaepernick took a knee.

00:14:04.000 But for the most part, they don't.

00:14:05.000 So conservatives are staying home, minding their own business, not organizing.

00:14:09.000 And the major corporations, the big tech companies and the politicians know their only threat is from the left.

00:14:13.000 So they give the left whatever they want.

00:14:15.000 Normally, if you were to tell people to go riot, which is a crime, I mean, I don't know, rioting is a crime.

00:14:20.000 Well, the word riot, that's not necessarily a crime, right?

00:14:23.000 You have to massage the truth again.

00:14:25.000 Say, get more confrontational.

00:14:28.000 Yes, walk faster.

00:14:29.000 When people are burning down buildings, tell them to do more, be more active.

00:14:34.000 Like, it's supposed to be illegal to incite violence, but to have Maxine Waters Telling people if we don't get a murder one charge, which he wasn't even charged with or a conviction for murder one Which he wasn't charged with that.

00:14:46.000 We should what she what was her quote Do you guys know offhand that we should push harder that we should get we should get more active and get more confrontational Get more confrontational.

00:14:53.000 She's talking to rioters. 0.90

00:14:54.000 That's And they're still out there right now So that they're that right right now as they're marching around.

00:15:00.000 I don't know exactly if it'll escalate or what the deal is I gotta tell you man I wasn't really expecting a verdict this fast.

00:15:12.000 My video today was like, oh, they're preparing, who knows when the verdict will be over at TeamCast.com.

00:15:16.000 And then I get a text and it's like, the verdict is coming in an hour.

00:15:19.000 And I'm like, what?

00:15:20.000 It's been a day.

00:15:21.000 I think it was 10 hours of deliberations.

00:15:23.000 Yeah, it was so short.

00:15:24.000 So when I heard that it was that fast, I was like, it's either going to be guilty on all counts or not guilty on all counts.

00:15:29.000 It is too soon for a hung jury.

00:15:31.000 There's no way the jurors went in and they were like, half of us are for guilty and half are for not guilty and we'll never change our minds.

00:15:37.000 Okay, let's go home, hung jury.

00:15:38.000 Too soon.

00:15:39.000 So I was kind of like, maybe it'll be not guilty because they're bringing in the National Guard in downtown Minneapolis right now.

00:15:46.000 Why would they be moving the National Guard in?

00:15:47.000 I'm like, so it must be not guilty.

00:15:49.000 And I heard guilty and I'm like, they knew the verdict was guilty and they're still bringing in the National Guard?

00:15:56.000 You know, Ben Shapiro tweeted something amid all this.

00:15:59.000 He said the fact that, I'll paraphrase, the fact that we all knew that our cities would burn based on the outcome of this trial is an indictment of our country, our society, or something to that effect.

00:16:11.000 Yeah, that's absolutely true of where we are now.

00:16:14.000 But it even goes into what happened recently with, you know, Georgia and just kind of all these policy measures that people are choosing sides and corporations are choosing sides and people are being kind of pressured again, where you're seeing this on every type of end.

00:16:30.000 Politics is infiltrating kind of every aspect of our lives now, and I don't think it's ever been that way, and it shouldn't be that way.

00:16:39.000 But did you see what happened with Coke?

00:16:41.000 Didn't Coca-Cola come out and actually say, like, Georgia's new voter law is racist?

00:16:45.000 And then conservatives were like, yeah, we're gonna buy Pepsi, and they went, wait, wait, we must find common ground.

00:16:52.000 See, that's the thing.

00:16:53.000 So the Republican Party has much less people than the Democratic Party.

00:16:58.000 It's shifted quite a bit in the last election.

00:16:59.000 It started to invert.

00:17:01.000 Democrats are joining the Republicans.

00:17:02.000 Republicans are doing great recruitment.

00:17:04.000 But you mostly have moderates and independents that sometimes lean right.

00:17:07.000 That's how Republicans end up winning.

00:17:09.000 These people don't do anything.

00:17:11.000 They don't speak up.

00:17:11.000 They don't say anything.

00:17:12.000 They keep shopping.

00:17:13.000 Coca-Cola could, you know, could Pepsi literally made a commercial where their protesters are going around handing out Pepsis.

00:17:20.000 And they see no repercussions for this.

00:17:22.000 I mean, actually, the woke left got mad at them about that, so they had to, like, apologize for having... Who was it?

00:17:27.000 Kendall was that who it was?

00:17:27.000 Kendall?

00:17:30.000 Kylie?

00:17:31.000 I don't know any of these people.

00:17:32.000 Handing out Pepsis.

00:17:34.000 It's this simple.

00:17:36.000 Conservatives aren't organized.

00:17:38.000 Moderates don't organize.

00:17:40.000 Disaffected liberal types... Actually, there's a decent amount of disaffected liberals who are speaking up.

00:17:45.000 But by nature, as a disaffected liberal, they're complaining about something.

00:17:49.000 So long as this group is just, like, loose-knit and passively in agreement, but not actively going out, talking about things, standing up, going outside, then there's no downside.

00:17:59.000 It's... Do you guys know what Pascal's Wager is?

00:18:03.000 Negative.

00:18:04.000 You do? You do. So it's basically, this dude was like, if I believe in God and I die and none of it was real or true,

00:18:15.000 then what does it matter?

00:18:16.000 But if I believe in God and I die and it is true, I get to go to heaven.

00:18:19.000 He says, now if I don't believe in God and it's not true, it doesn't matter.

00:18:24.000 And if I don't believe in God and it is true, well then I go to hell.

00:18:27.000 So your safest bet is to be, you know, believe in God or be religious.

00:18:33.000 It's not necessarily a fantastic argument, but I bring this up because we have what I call, I'll call it the critical theorist's wager or the social justice wager.

00:18:43.000 If you are on the right and you stand up for your rights, you will likely be canceled or banned.

00:18:50.000 If you are on the right and you do nothing, nothing happens.

00:18:54.000 You end up losing.

00:18:55.000 The left ends up gaining ground.

00:18:56.000 If you're on the left and you don't stand up for what you believe in, the left still charges through, gets whatever they want.

00:19:02.000 And if you're on the left and you stand up and scream, you will likely get whatever you want.

00:19:06.000 You're celebrated.

00:19:07.000 Right.

00:19:08.000 So this wager is very obvious.

00:19:10.000 If you want to run a business right now in this environment, your best bet is just to feign leftism.

00:19:16.000 Because there's no negative repercussions.

00:19:18.000 And that's awful, because you look at, and you make a really good point, because commerce and business and services and products, these were things that were supposed to unite us as Americans, or unite us as people, right?

00:19:33.000 When you're going to Ben and Jerry's, well, nowadays, now you are asking, well, what were you talking about in politics?

00:19:39.000 But before, you're like, I just want my double chocolate chip ice cream.

00:19:42.000 You could sit down at a Ben & Jerry's and look over to a random stranger and be like, which one did you get?

00:19:46.000 Right.

00:19:47.000 Now it's like, who'd you vote for?

00:19:49.000 To the cashier, even.

00:19:51.000 I mean, that's what it turns into.

00:19:53.000 Oh, wait, I'm researching every single company that has spoken out.

00:19:57.000 And what are their their stances now?

00:20:00.000 And it's awful.

00:20:01.000 And it's it's bad because as a somebody who works in business, our product, for example, helps kids.

00:20:08.000 And that's it.

00:20:09.000 And it's like, well, is it that's not Republican or Democrat.

00:20:12.000 You're just trying to you're trying to create a product and you're trying to solve an issue and you're And there's a demand for it.

00:20:19.000 Simple as that.

00:20:21.000 It's supposed to unite us.

00:20:22.000 Market pressure.

00:20:22.000 Yeah.

00:20:23.000 So you've made the point that politics has gotten into everything.

00:20:26.000 And this is something that troubles me as well.

00:20:28.000 This is not the way it's supposed to be.

00:20:30.000 And the fact that we have to do things like ask, who did you vote for?

00:20:33.000 That creates suspicion.

00:20:35.000 It weakens our society from the bottom up.

00:20:37.000 I hate to see it.

00:20:38.000 I look at what happened with Chauvin, and the one thing... I think the perspective of the left is that, like, all cops all the time are abusing their power, and they don't understand, like, why arrests happen.

00:20:52.000 And they keep saying things like, if Derek Chauvin didn't put his knee on George Floyd's neck, then Floyd would be alive today.

00:20:59.000 The prosecution was actually debunked very early on.

00:21:02.000 Two things.

00:21:03.000 The 8 minutes 46 seconds was debunked.

00:21:05.000 It was actually longer.

00:21:06.000 It was 9 minutes 29 seconds I think it was.

00:21:08.000 But the other thing that was debunked was that the knee was on Floyd's neck the whole time.

00:21:11.000 It wasn't.

00:21:12.000 In the video you can actually see in some periods the knee moved off the neck.

00:21:16.000 But the left I mean, they want to believe in these tribalist... I honestly don't know why.

00:21:25.000 They don't investigate.

00:21:26.000 They don't read the stuff.

00:21:27.000 They just assume whatever the media says is true.

00:21:30.000 I see them parrot it on social media.

00:21:32.000 And then what you get is blind rage in support of the tribe, you know, the leftist tribe, no matter what.

00:21:38.000 I was talking to a friend of mine and she said, you know, I don't even want to talk about what we were talking about, but she was like, I'm just going to accept it at face value.

00:21:46.000 And I was like, Yeah, you're just gonna believe the first thing they tell you, the government.

00:21:50.000 And she's like, I just don't have the energy to investigate.

00:21:54.000 And that was it.

00:21:56.000 I'll put it this way.

00:21:59.000 They say that George Floyd would still be alive if Chauvin had put his knee on his back.

00:22:04.000 George Floyd would still be alive if he didn't resist arrest.

00:22:07.000 Maybe.

00:22:07.000 Or do drugs.

00:22:08.000 Yeah, or take a bunch of fentanyl.

00:22:09.000 Maybe. 0.97

00:22:10.000 Maybe you would have killed a kid and got behind the wheel of a car and drove into some family walking across the street. 0.97

00:22:16.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:22:17.000 He was doing drugs in the car.

00:22:19.000 And the defense made an interesting point that we don't know how much fentanyl he took.

00:22:24.000 The norfentanyl in his system was the metabolite of the fentanyl he had already taken.

00:22:27.000 So that means he had taken some like a long time before this incident occurred.

00:22:32.000 So, look, I'm not happy about what happened.

00:22:35.000 I don't like the idea that a cop is trying to arrest somebody and they die.

00:22:38.000 The cops shouldn't be killing people and there should be a level of scrutiny.

00:22:41.000 The issue, I suppose, is this will not reform the police department.

00:22:44.000 It won't. 0.99

00:22:45.000 I guess what the left is going for is if you can't beat them, burn them to the ground.

00:22:50.000 If they can't get the police department abolished, then they're going to try and force every cop out.

00:22:55.000 And right now, I gotta say, the smartest position for the police is probably just to leave.

00:22:59.000 What is this?

00:23:00.000 Are they like...

00:23:01.000 OK, this is high conspiracy, but is this like a corporate takeover?

00:23:05.000 Like, do they want private police?

00:23:07.000 The squad?

00:23:08.000 You see that breaking story?

00:23:09.000 You see that?

00:23:09.000 The squad members buying all the private security?

00:23:11.000 Oh, of course.

00:23:12.000 Yeah.

00:23:12.000 This is like turning into a third world country.

00:23:16.000 You know, my family, my mom came from Guatemala and they have the private police force now overtakes the public police force because you don't really know, you know, whose side the cops are on.

00:23:26.000 It's not.

00:23:27.000 Meaning to laugh, but it's just you get to this point where it's you're seeing elements of that Here in you know the greatest country in the world, and this is what separates us from these third world countries I'd be willing to bet a bunch of our libertarian and anarchist friends who've been on the show are going to be cheering for the idea that the police will crumble from this because they genuinely believe private policing is better. 0.98

00:23:53.000 I'm not one of those people.

00:23:54.000 I'm fairly libertarian, little L, not big L, leaning slightly to the left, and I think The reason the police department works is that they're neutral arbiters.

00:24:03.000 They're not perfect.

00:24:04.000 The individuals can be racist.

00:24:06.000 The individuals can be bigoted.

00:24:08.000 We want to deal with that.

00:24:09.000 We don't want those things.

00:24:10.000 Lawsuits exist as well, and there's a challenge with poverty.

00:24:13.000 When somebody who's poor gets pulled over, and they can't afford to pay a ticket, then they go to jail, it creates a cycle.

00:24:18.000 It's problematic.

00:24:19.000 But when you have two people fighting and a cop walks up, he's not there to be on anyone's side.

00:24:23.000 He's like, is it the laws?

00:24:24.000 Is this what you did?

00:24:25.000 Go away, or you're under arrest.

00:24:27.000 Right.

00:24:28.000 Well, in AOC and The Squad, they all talk about equality and, you know, no classism and all this.

00:24:34.000 Well, that's exactly what they're trying to do when you talk about private police forces.

00:24:38.000 Who is able to afford a private police force?

00:24:41.000 Obviously, people who are wealthy and have money.

00:24:44.000 But then yet your policies and what you talk about all the time is about equality and no classes. 0.70

00:24:50.000 And, you know, I mean, it just it's completely it's complete hypocrisy.

00:24:56.000 This is what'll happen.

00:24:57.000 They will defund the police, they will use the Chauvin case as an example, and they're gonna march and they're gonna say, see?

00:25:05.000 And then once the police are defunded, the rich people who don't care are gonna hire, you know, G4S or Securitas or something, and they're gonna have a couple guys in suits with glasses outside their house, and they're not gonna worry about anything.

00:25:17.000 We talked about this last year during the riots.

00:25:19.000 You know private security would actually punch a cop on your behalf?

00:25:22.000 If you get a legit private security company.

00:25:25.000 These guys are getting paid, you know, low to mid six figures depending on who the client is.

00:25:29.000 These guys, they're wearing suits, they got sunglasses, earpieces, legit security for high-profile individuals.

00:25:35.000 If a cop tried arresting, these security guards would shove a cop to the ground.

00:25:38.000 They would absolutely assault an officer because they don't respect Some guy getting $30K a year in New York City or $40K.

00:25:44.000 When they're getting $400K and they're working for a prince or a celebrity, they're like, nah, this guy's got billions of dollars.

00:25:50.000 He'll bail me out.

00:25:51.000 I don't got to worry about it.

00:25:52.000 My company will take care of me.

00:25:53.000 So when the police are defunded and they don't respond to the calls of the poor people anymore, who suffers? 0.92

00:25:58.000 Well, it's going to be the black community. 0.97

00:26:00.000 It's going to be Latino community. 0.95

00:26:01.000 It's going to be the poor community in general.

00:26:03.000 And the rich people are going to be sitting there in their infinity pools, not caring.

00:26:06.000 Well, they just found that something, I want to say something like 80% of people who are surveyed, these black people in these communities, want more police presence.

00:26:14.000 They don't want the police to go away.

00:26:15.000 Well, it's the same thing with the Hispanic community.

00:26:18.000 When you look at, you know, voter demographics, I mean, I come from a, you know, 40 miles outside of the city of Chicago, where you're seeing very high crime rates all the time.

00:26:28.000 Nobody's talking about that crime.

00:26:29.000 Hush, hush, right?

00:26:31.000 They talk about these kind of instances that happen every once in a while.

00:26:36.000 But the same thing happened in the Hispanic community, which is why a lot of people started voting more conservative because they come from countries where there is no law and order. 1.00

00:26:45.000 They're leaving these places where they don't trust their law enforcement.

00:26:50.000 We, again, have that public trust and and they're, you know, people are chipping away at that.

00:26:57.000 I love the idea of socialists and leftists condemning the state right now.

00:27:02.000 When the state literally won its case, the state versus Derek Chauvin, the state is the winner.

00:27:08.000 They're complaining about... I see these tweets, they're like, it was an agent of the state who committed a murder and it's good to see... They should not be allowed to do that.

00:27:15.000 And I'm like, it's the state who also won from the guy on the bus.

00:27:19.000 Also, if you're a socialist and you want socialized everything, then shouldn't you be happy with a socialized law enforcement?

00:27:27.000 Well, apparently not.

00:27:29.000 The great part of it is local cops.

00:27:31.000 Like, I was in Chile for a while, and...

00:27:34.000 It's national cops only in that country.

00:27:37.000 So if you have a problem, a dog is barking or bites someone on the corner, you've got feds there with brown uniforms on, ready to take you to federal prison.

00:27:47.000 It's federal all the way down.

00:27:49.000 And it's terrifying that if you jaywalk or commit some minor crime, the feds are on you down there.

00:27:54.000 And that's how it is in most of the world, I think.

00:27:56.000 I'm not much of a legal expert.

00:27:58.000 No, you're absolutely right.

00:27:59.000 In places like Central America, you have, you know, armed military police, M16s, on the street corner and in parks.

00:28:08.000 I mean, that's normal to those people.

00:28:10.000 That's one thing that a lot of people are saying.

00:28:12.000 And they're still crime.

00:28:13.000 Yeah.

00:28:13.000 There are people tweeting like, it took us too long to get this verdict.

00:28:17.000 330 days or something like that.

00:28:19.000 It was, uh...

00:28:19.000 I don't think it was 330 days.

00:28:21.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:28:22.000 Was it 330 days?

00:28:23.000 Yeah.

00:28:23.000 That's what they were saying.

00:28:25.000 And my attitude is like, you mean you got it done that fast?

00:28:30.000 In many countries, there's no trial.

00:28:32.000 Respect it.

00:28:33.000 Like, dude, go to go to go to some of these countries.

00:28:36.000 You think South America, a cop who's working for the state, is going to face punishment for anything?

00:28:40.000 No, their bribery is rampant down there, too.

00:28:43.000 These guys can literally walk into poor neighborhoods and shoot someone in the face and they're not going to get in trouble.

00:28:43.000 Yeah.

00:28:47.000 In the United States, they burn the country down and get away with it.

00:28:51.000 Well and it comes down to we are a country of law and order and this is lawlessness when you're seeing all these riots when you're and on top of that even the the verdict today where these issues are complex obviously right there's no back to your point about clickbait and people who just don't want to dive deeper or see each other as humans or talk about these things in a substantive way.

00:29:12.000 It comes down to we need to enforce the law and there's a real precedent that's being set now just again with all the political tensions leading up to this of what is kind of where we're going to be moving forward and do we want to be this country where it burns to the ground.

00:29:31.000 Do we want to be a country where the people have questions about a verdict because of the political unrest leading up to this and even during, right?

00:29:42.000 You had the media, Maxine Waters again.

00:29:45.000 There are some real questions here that are setting kind of the tone for the next years to come.

00:29:52.000 And what is our country going to look like 50 years from now?

00:29:55.000 Here's what I find kind of funny.

00:29:57.000 So you're running for Congress.

00:29:58.000 Yeah.

00:30:00.000 Can I ask you how old you are or are you too old?

00:30:03.000 I'm turning 28 in a month.

00:30:05.000 May 5th.

00:30:06.000 Happy birthday.

00:30:07.000 Thank you!

00:30:08.000 Cinco de Mayo.

00:30:10.000 Little firecracker day.

00:30:12.000 Not as cool as 4th of July.

00:30:14.000 I find this kind of funny though.

00:30:16.000 Would you consider yourself to be pro-police?

00:30:19.000 Yeah, well, yeah, pro-law enforcement, absolutely.

00:30:22.000 And pro-law and order as more of a principle behind that, but... So you would support local police departments?

00:30:28.000 Absolutely.

00:30:29.000 I just find it funny that The Squad, there's this story from four hours ago about them hiring private security while talking about defunding the police.

00:30:37.000 It's ominous.

00:30:37.000 Right.

00:30:38.000 And it's a Republican candidate who's like, support our public law enforcement system.

00:30:43.000 Yeah.

00:30:44.000 Like, I'm not... I just think...

00:30:46.000 I don't know how much you've got so much evidence of hypocrisy among AOC and the squad that you just, at a certain point, won't someone, won't these leftists who support them, won't their heads explode from the cognitive dissonance?

00:30:59.000 Well, yeah, well, because they're the elites now.

00:31:01.000 And I will tell you, too, you know, I've done ride alongs with our local law enforcement.

00:31:05.000 I did one here in D.C.

00:31:06.000 a while ago and I visited the county jails.

00:31:10.000 Like I'm telling you, you're face to face, not face to face, obviously, you have a glass screen, but with Like, murderers and ICE detainees who have possible terrorist ties.

00:31:20.000 Like, these are criminals.

00:31:22.000 And then you look at, you know, in D.C., I saw, you know, three people die that night.

00:31:27.000 It was a Saturday night.

00:31:29.000 And just what you think about the everyday job of a law enforcement officer is something that, and what I think about, too, when you're talking about the hypocrisy, you know, the left is all about empathy and feeling and all that.

00:31:43.000 We are not even understanding what the average cop has to go through every day, especially in big cities.

00:31:52.000 I mean, I live in a sleepier town, but crime rates are going up in the suburbs.

00:31:56.000 Crime rates are going up in traditionally small neighborhoods.

00:32:01.000 It is a real issue and we're not looking at them as humans.

00:32:05.000 Have you seen that letter that's gone viral?

00:32:07.000 They say supposedly it's from a former police officer.

00:32:10.000 They say that these people on the left expect a cop to be a medical expert, to be a doctor, to know all the signs of a seizure, of asphyxiation.

00:32:19.000 They expect them to be a psychologist.

00:32:21.000 To know how to deal with a mentally ill person who's on a rampage. 0.97

00:32:24.000 They expect them to be able to do all of these jobs, to use just enough force to be a Brazilian jiu-jitsu expert that can take down a 6'1", 220-pound guy when you're 5'9", 140 pounds.

00:32:37.000 That's Derek Chauvin.

00:32:38.000 They expect you to have all of the power and capabilities and the knowledge of all of these different fields when you are literally a dude Or a lady who was told, if someone breaks the law, arrest them.

00:32:50.000 They're not doctors.

00:32:51.000 Chauvin was not a doctor.

00:32:52.000 How was he supposed to know any of this stuff?

00:32:54.000 It's crazy to me, because you mentioned going on the ride-alongs with these law enforcement.

00:32:57.000 I did a night crawling in Chicago, which you understand what that is, right?

00:33:02.000 So for those that don't know what night crawling is, it's like you go out in the middle of the night, you track the police scanner, and you look for local stories.

00:33:08.000 Typically it's like crime and things like that.

00:33:10.000 In one night, I think I saw, what, like five murders?

00:33:13.000 Five crime scenes in Chicago.

00:33:15.000 In one night.

00:33:16.000 It was like, take your pick.

00:33:17.000 What do you want to do?

00:33:18.000 Sit in the car, and you'll be like, oh, there's a murder.

00:33:21.000 No, let's not go to that one because, you know, that one's 15 minutes away.

00:33:24.000 Ah, another murder.

00:33:25.000 That one's five minutes away.

00:33:26.000 And we pull up, and each and every time I see these cops.

00:33:29.000 People don't get it, man.

00:33:30.000 It's dark out.

00:33:31.000 There are people gathering on the streets.

00:33:33.000 You don't know who they are or what they're doing.

00:33:34.000 You're called to a house that was riddled with bullets.

00:33:37.000 We went to one house.

00:33:38.000 This was kind of scary.

00:33:39.000 Because I'm from Chicago, I know these neighborhoods.

00:33:42.000 And we roll up and we see a couple squad cars.

00:33:44.000 The cops walk up to a house.

00:33:46.000 Bullet holes all throughout the front of the building.

00:33:47.000 Two people dead.

00:33:48.000 And there's like 30 people on each side of the block.

00:33:52.000 And I'm like, now this cop here with one other guy who arrived on scene knows there's active shooting.

00:33:57.000 Possibly dead people and now there's like 30 people gathering and he doesn't know which one of them may be that may be the murderer And you think that guy's supposed to go in there with the full capabilities of martial arts?

00:34:08.000 Marksmanship medical expertise and psychological expertise to deal with situation like that It's insane to me the level of I should say the lack of empathy for how awful that job can really be and then when you Exacerbate it on a public Stage you have people spitting at cops.

00:34:27.000 Now.

00:34:28.000 You have that culture just completely Changing the dynamics of law enforcement as a whole.

00:34:35.000 I mean I get families all the time of You know wives of police officers or either even my police officer friends where they're like I don't I didn't do anything wrong and yet people spit in my face and Because of all this politicization and this being on such a mass scale.

00:34:57.000 And that's really sad too.

00:34:59.000 You see it a lot in military as well.

00:35:04.000 We're not seeing people, again, there's no empathy and no human perspective.

00:35:09.000 They assume because... You know what?

00:35:12.000 I'll rephrase what I was going to say.

00:35:15.000 How many viral videos have you seen of police brutality?

00:35:18.000 A lot.

00:35:20.000 40 in my life?

00:35:22.000 In recent history.

00:35:23.000 I don't look for them.

00:35:24.000 Not many lately.

00:35:25.000 I'd say I've seen a lot.

00:35:27.000 Yeah, and they're increasing every year.

00:35:29.000 Yeah.

00:35:30.000 Since 2012, I've seen them all.

00:35:32.000 A ton.

00:35:33.000 Now, here's the issue.

00:35:33.000 A bunch.

00:35:35.000 You've got 330 million people in this country, 220 million adults or whatever.

00:35:41.000 There's going to be more police interactions.

00:35:43.000 More police interactions means you will have accidental deaths, you have negligent actions, you have overt criminal acts from some officers.

00:35:51.000 But we're talking about what is like 100 million police interactions per year.

00:35:55.000 And like 20, you know, unarmed guys, you know, guys being getting shot in 2019.

00:36:00.000 People don't seem to take into consideration that they may see all these videos.

00:36:04.000 They'll see all these news stories.

00:36:06.000 You know what there's never a news story about?

00:36:07.000 Local officer helps old lady cross street.

00:36:10.000 Local officer pulls an 18-year-old kid for speeding, gives him a warning,

00:36:14.000 and the kid turns things around and stops speeding.

00:36:17.000 So, you know, you've seen some videos where it's like a cop plays basketball with the local kids.

00:36:22.000 It's heartwarming.

00:36:23.000 I've seen a few of those.

00:36:24.000 But what we don't see is the everyday, day-to-day of what the cop does from the perspective of extremely violent crimes and routine law enforcement.

00:36:33.000 Where's the viral story in the viral video where a cop pulls someone over, walks up and says, ma'am, you were speeding.

00:36:37.000 You were going, you know, eight over in a 40.

00:36:40.000 Please don't do it again.

00:36:41.000 Have a nice day.

00:36:42.000 That happens all the time.

00:36:43.000 But no one cares about the monotony.

00:36:46.000 It's kind of like how we take our physical health for granted.

00:36:51.000 Not everybody.

00:36:55.000 I stepped on glass earlier.

00:36:56.000 I had to dig it out of my foot.

00:36:58.000 I spent time thinking like...

00:37:02.000 I don't think about when I'm healthy.

00:37:04.000 I don't think every moment, like, I am so healthy, this is so great.

00:37:07.000 But as soon as it hurts, it is the biggest deal in the world to me.

00:37:10.000 Bro, it's like when you got a stuffed nose, and you're like, and you think about like, when, man, what was it like when my nose wasn't stuffed?

00:37:16.000 Do you ever really think about it?

00:37:18.000 Yeah, like most of the time.

00:37:19.000 And that's what's happening with these brutality issues.

00:37:21.000 As soon as one happens, it's like an injury that everyone is focused on.

00:37:24.000 And when one instance gets a hundred million views, that's like, it's like, it's like it happened a hundred million times.

00:37:30.000 Right.

00:37:31.000 Especially with all the political agenda pushing as well.

00:37:34.000 And it's the same thing with guns.

00:37:36.000 I mean, you look at the mass shootings, for example, it's the same thing.

00:37:42.000 I think there's always kind of this, there's always a narrative behind it.

00:37:47.000 And that's concerning.

00:37:49.000 Because then again, to what extent is public opinion determining things, not actually the law?

00:37:56.000 You mentioned law and order.

00:37:58.000 I like that phrase because I think a lot of times people focus on, is the law being followed?

00:38:02.000 But yeah, but also is order being adjudicated?

00:38:06.000 Is it orderly?

00:38:07.000 Because a bad law is out of order.

00:38:09.000 So I think people are out of touch with law.

00:38:13.000 We can't even offer up a law to Congress as people.

00:38:16.000 We have to rely on this like 600 people.

00:38:18.000 No, no, bro, bro.

00:38:19.000 It's so far beyond that.

00:38:21.000 Let me pull up this next story, which hits exactly at your point.

00:38:24.000 Oh yeah.

00:38:25.000 Democrats block resolution censuring Maxine Waters for Chauvin trial comments.

00:38:30.000 Keeping things in line with the discussion at hand, but basically what you were saying, Ian, is that even when we have Maxine Waters incite insurrection, telling people to do more than they already are when mass riots are underway, the Republicans can't even wag their finger at her.

00:38:45.000 A censure is a finger wag.

00:38:47.000 So we're at a point now where we have ridiculous, nonsensical laws. 0.83

00:38:50.000 The war on drugs, for instance, is insane.

00:38:54.000 We struggle to get anything done in terms of repealing most of these laws.

00:38:58.000 It doesn't really happen.

00:38:59.000 Or decriminalizing things.

00:39:01.000 And then you have when a politician on the Democrat side, it tends to be the rule for the left, they get away with all this stuff.

00:39:08.000 You can't even get Republicans to do anything or be able to do anything about this.

00:39:13.000 And that's, you know, kind of leads into why I'm running too, because we don't have people with backbones.

00:39:20.000 I mean, you're getting to a point where we saw the President of the United States being impeached for a second time.

00:39:26.000 For, let's say, he said the words that he said, peaceful, go peacefully.

00:39:32.000 Cheer on politicians.

00:39:34.000 And then you have even Republicans, you know, one of them that I'm unseating here, Adam Kinzinger, going and voting for impeachment or stripping Marjorie Taylor Greene, for example, a congresswoman outside of Georgia, for stripping her of committee.

00:39:50.000 When people have that much power or you have one side with that much power that is actually determining people's lives and the way that our country is going, that's a huge problem because you do not have two opinions that are being taken into account.

00:40:07.000 And to your point, you're spot on where we don't even have Republicans standing firm on half this stuff.

00:40:14.000 This is why I said, you know, I've been saying for some time, I don't think I'd vote Republican in 2022.

00:40:19.000 Depends.

00:40:19.000 Well, if you were in my district, you would.

00:40:20.000 I would, you're right.

00:40:22.000 I would, because you're younger, energetic, and you seem principled.

00:40:28.000 I'd have to go through all your policies, though, to be fair.

00:40:31.000 But no, I look at Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham.

00:40:33.000 I look at Kevin McCarthy.

00:40:35.000 The best Kevin McCarthy could offer up is a wag the finger at Maxine Waters.

00:40:38.000 Censure?

00:40:39.000 Spare me.

00:40:40.000 Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced a bill to expel Maxine Waters.

00:40:45.000 Now, of course, that's not gonna happen.

00:40:47.000 For all the criticism people can levy or throw at Marjorie Taylor Greene, by all means, at least she's doing something.

00:40:55.000 Maxine Waters flew from California into a riot and said, confrontational if we don't get a first-degree murder 1.00

00:41:00.000 conviction that is insane right even CNN's Chris Aliza Chris Aliza criticized

00:41:05.000 Maxine water for now and what happens the best Republicans can do is I would

00:41:09.000 like to introduce a bill to censure Maxine waters Democrats denied

00:41:14.000 moving on yeah we didn't get a first-degree murder conviction by the way

00:41:17.000 so if they do get more confrontational she's on the hook for that yeah well

00:41:20.000 nothing's gonna happen I'm

00:41:22.000 I'm so angry at the two-party system.

00:41:25.000 It sounded like you were about to say something.

00:41:27.000 What were you going to say?

00:41:28.000 No, go ahead.

00:41:29.000 It's like a stranglehold.

00:41:31.000 You know, George Washington warns overtly about the danger of two-party politics, that one gets a little bit of a majority and then takes complete control of our government.

00:41:41.000 I want to see like six or seven small groups so that if four of these groups decide, no, we are going to censure, you can't stop me from censuring this congresswoman that called for violence. 0.62

00:41:50.000 But our founders also, I feel like they didn't want to see a multiple party system because they saw that in Europe as well.

00:41:57.000 And the detriment to that is that you have too many factions now and people as humans gravitate, I think, towards like one or or another.

00:42:07.000 But to your point, The best part I think the biggest silver lining about all this and just from a political perspective also and being a candidate is that you're seeing so many people now everyday Americans stepping up because they're so frustrated with the way things are going and they're like you know what I want to run because I want to take

00:42:26.000 I want to unseat these people.

00:42:27.000 I don't think they're doing their job.

00:42:29.000 And we the people are holding people accountable.

00:42:32.000 Now when politics gets into everybody's personal lives, they are finally caring.

00:42:37.000 And this is the way I think our experiment is supposed to go.

00:42:41.000 You're seeing this movement happening, this disruption, and it's really challenging right now.

00:42:49.000 But we're also seeing it uncovered and we're taking back the power.

00:42:53.000 And and I think that's it's really positive in that way.

00:42:55.000 And unfortunately, like three parties wouldn't work like you can't.

00:42:59.000 And I don't mean, unfortunately, I'm running as absolutely as a conservative.

00:43:04.000 But now you're even seeing like different factions of conservatism, for example, like Adam Kinzinger.

00:43:09.000 He is a Democrat.

00:43:10.000 Why is he a Republican?

00:43:12.000 Right.

00:43:13.000 Like we are.

00:43:14.000 We need to take back our party and the way that our party is moving.

00:43:18.000 Is this America first law and order free market enterprise system?

00:43:24.000 You know, just everybody thriving from an economic perspective.

00:43:29.000 And that's where our country is going.

00:43:31.000 That's where the Republican Party is going.

00:43:33.000 But we need to take that back.

00:43:35.000 It's one thing to be anti-Trump, because I can understand that a lot of people didn't like the guy.

00:43:40.000 It's another thing to be, you know, Kinzinger, so for those unfamiliar, he's this Republican in Illinois who just basically sides with Democrats all the time.

00:43:49.000 Did he get like a memo where it's like your district just became D plus eight.

00:43:54.000 So now you better be a Democrat if you want to win.

00:43:56.000 I think he got a lot of opportunities to be on MSNBC and CNN and loved watching himself

00:44:02.000 on TV.

00:44:03.000 You know you don't nobody his constituency has not seen him at all.

00:44:08.000 He's been not even a conservative since you know in 2014 even and that was even before

00:44:13.000 Trump and all that.

00:44:15.000 I mean he's made a a career now out of being a politician and one that particularly bashes

00:44:21.000 Trump.

00:44:22.000 The liberal media loves that because he goes on and hey look we have a Republican that

00:44:26.000 Trumpism.

00:44:27.000 He's our token Republican.

00:44:30.000 And that's just not, you look at people on the ground and they're like, what is this guy doing?

00:44:35.000 This is not, no, that's not leadership by any means.

00:44:39.000 You are, he's driven by his own ego and his own career.

00:44:43.000 I completely agree.

00:44:45.000 Yeah.

00:44:45.000 I think this technology has given an opportunity for corporate fascism to thrive, and it's also given an opportunity for young people to get involved in politics in a different way, which is cool, because if we do take control of our government, I think that's a positive outcome for this experiment.

00:45:03.000 But if we don't, the corporations will, with their advertisement and their brainwashing and their poison.

00:45:09.000 Well, that's what's happening.

00:45:11.000 Corporate America is as woke as they get.

00:45:14.000 We talked about this the other day, like the punk rock bands lit around the side of Amazon and Walmart.

00:45:23.000 I'm sorry, I just gotta say this.

00:45:24.000 Bad Religion, I was such a big fan of Bad Religion.

00:45:27.000 You're on Walmart's side, so I don't know what that means.

00:45:30.000 What's their hit song?

00:45:32.000 They did a song that was supposedly anti-alt-right, but it was actually very pro-alt-right, and it was the weirdest thing ever.

00:45:32.000 I don't know.

00:45:38.000 And they got criticized by some leftists because they were like, was this song criticizing white nationalism or supporting it?

00:45:43.000 We can't tell.

00:45:44.000 I don't know.

00:45:46.000 Yeah, it's just... It's weird times, man.

00:45:49.000 It's the realignment, I guess.

00:45:50.000 It is but you know there's disruption in every in every industry and every part of I think life too and you're seeing that now I think in the political space especially and I think it's a good thing you know again I've never seen more like people all you know a lot of my friends who are running now these are true servant leaders like these are people who want who have left their everyday lives There are jobs in the private sector left the military or or even left their families and they're like, you know what?

00:46:22.000 I'm sick of the way things are going and I want to to take back the power for the people and and be a good representative and and you're seeing that happening all across the country now and I think that's the positive side of all this stuff.

00:46:36.000 and I was making YouTube videos and I got this really like strong feeling

00:46:40.000 that we needed to globalize, that there was no stopping.

00:46:44.000 It was just what's happening is the entire globe is coming together with the internet

00:46:48.000 and we have to build a government that can sustain that.

00:46:51.000 And it didn't happen.

00:46:53.000 I didn't push it that hard.

00:46:54.000 I kind of had a nervous breakdown instead because everything was so psychotic for me at that time.

00:46:59.000 But what's happening is it's happening anyway, but we don't have a government to stop it

00:47:04.000 or to take control of it.

00:47:06.000 So the Chinese corporations are like driving people insane in the United States. 1.00

00:47:11.000 You know, all this global collusion that is just... Let me interject and try and see if I can wrap up a little bit of what you're saying because you're right.

00:47:21.000 Basically, There was that there's a famous quote.

00:47:24.000 I think it's from wasn't Nathaniel Rothschild or something that globalization will happen whether whether anyone wants it to or not and a lot of people took that like a threat like he was saying we must have you know a global one world government or something.

00:47:34.000 I think what he was saying was that it's going to happen through trade unions and communications.

00:47:38.000 The issue is.

00:47:40.000 It's it's we already do have one world currency.

00:47:44.000 It's called Visa and MasterCard.

00:47:45.000 Go to any country.

00:47:46.000 It works.

00:47:46.000 You can swipe your card.

00:47:47.000 You can buy stuff.

00:47:47.000 The swift payment system.

00:47:49.000 And we already have international agreements.

00:47:51.000 It's not a legitimate like one world system.

00:47:54.000 However, We still have our borders, our rules, just like you have your own city with your own city's laws.

00:47:59.000 The United States has its laws.

00:48:01.000 And even though there may be international trade and things like that, and some people may believe it's inevitable, we still have to maintain that when you're here, we have a constitution, we have rights.

00:48:08.000 It's one of the most amazing things.

00:48:10.000 And every day I look at what's going on around the world and I'm just like thanking the founding fathers.

00:48:16.000 That being said, because we are not having the values of the constitution be the superseding culture around the world, China is filling that gap.

00:48:25.000 Now, you have major corporations in the United States who, they're deferential to China because they don't want to lose money.

00:48:31.000 Slavery, in particular.

00:48:32.000 Major, absolutely.

00:48:33.000 These billionaires, who are like, hey guys, don't criticize China taking over Hong Kong.

00:48:39.000 Like, what are you doing?

00:48:40.000 We don't want the NBA to sell shirts that say free Hong Kong.

00:48:42.000 Why?

00:48:42.000 Because people involved make millions of dollars from China.

00:48:46.000 It's basically like, It's really, really simple.

00:48:49.000 Chinese enterprise goes to wealthy and influential Americans and says, we can make you even more wealthy.

00:48:54.000 And they say, deal.

00:48:56.000 They were bought and paid for.

00:48:56.000 There it is.

00:48:57.000 The Emancipation Proclamation is legit. 0.51

00:49:00.000 Like, we need to broaden that to the world.

00:49:02.000 And like, child slavery, child labor laws from the early 1900s, we need to bring that around the globe. 0.67

00:49:07.000 Because eight-year-olds shouldn't be working 16-hour days anywhere on Earth.

00:49:10.000 Well, now you're getting a little bit too big for where this conversation was going.

00:49:14.000 I mean, look.

00:49:14.000 The issue I'm talking about is... What I'm concerned with is a supremacy clause.

00:49:17.000 I don't want a global supremacy clause like we have in the United States.

00:49:20.000 A guaranteed Bill of Rights for everybody?

00:49:22.000 Well, maybe we do need something like that, then.

00:49:24.000 The problem is, we are in this bubble in the United States where the Constitution is a force field taking active fire and eroding before our eyes.

00:49:33.000 Yeah.

00:49:34.000 You look at what's going on in Ontario.

00:49:35.000 Did you see these videos out of Ontario?

00:49:37.000 They basically said you can't leave your home unless you have permission or whatever, and the police can detain you and ask you what you're doing outside of your house.

00:49:45.000 $800 fines or something like that.

00:49:47.000 They were saying in the UK earlier last year that you couldn't have adult activities with someone you were just meeting or something like that.

00:49:47.000 That's really scary.

00:49:56.000 You can't go on holiday.

00:49:57.000 It's a £5,000 fine.

00:49:58.000 Here in the United States, they would love to silence our speech.

00:50:01.000 Guess what?

00:50:03.000 What did Dave Chappelle say?

00:50:05.000 The Second Amendment is just in case the first one doesn't work out.

00:50:07.000 I love that.

00:50:08.000 Well, to your point about the two-party system, I swear I have a point here.

00:50:14.000 It's now evolving into where the Republican Party or conservatives are the only ones respecting, it seems like, the Constitution.

00:50:23.000 And we've gone so far to where we are now, where that constitution is eroding, and it's like, who is upholding these values?

00:50:32.000 And to your point about big business, you know, our founders, they didn't want big government.

00:50:36.000 Why would they want these gargantuan monopolies dominating? 0.99

00:50:40.000 They're just as controlling as a big government would be.

00:50:44.000 Right.

00:50:45.000 And and that's super concerning.

00:50:47.000 And then you also look at the populist movement, though, like what happened in Brexit or even the Trump movement.

00:50:54.000 People are craving for nationalism.

00:50:57.000 They're craving for a structure.

00:50:59.000 And thank the Lord that we have our Constitution.

00:51:02.000 We need to preserve it at all costs.

00:51:04.000 They're doing everything in their power, the establishment, to destroy it.

00:51:08.000 That's why I'm saying it's like, we're all these small little children underneath the big blanket of the Constitution, and they're the monsters outside our bed, and we're being protected.

00:51:17.000 But sooner or later, they're tearing through it.

00:51:19.000 They're ripping it away piece by piece.

00:51:20.000 I don't like forcing things on people in general, but the Constitution was kind of forced on everyone in the United States, and maybe we do need to force something like that on the globe.

00:51:29.000 I don't think it works that way.

00:51:30.000 You entice them to adopt it?

00:51:31.000 I guess military—it doesn't have to be military aggression force.

00:51:32.000 to adopt it? That's the idea of nationalism, which is we have a constitution, we have our rules,

00:51:38.000 we need to protect that, and other people can do what they want in their own countries.

00:51:41.000 It doesn't have to be military aggression force. There's other ways to force, like use the force,

00:51:47.000 to get people to adopt a new way of thinking.

00:51:51.000 I mean, look, man, that kind of stuff didn't work.

00:51:54.000 We were trying to go and force, yeah, well, airdrop blue jeans into Afghanistan and then none of that stuff works.

00:52:00.000 I think they said blue jeans.

00:52:01.000 What was it?

00:52:01.000 Blue jeans ended the Cold War.

00:52:03.000 Is that what that is?

00:52:03.000 Oh, really?

00:52:04.000 I didn't hear that, yeah.

00:52:05.000 And then was it Gorbachev did a Pizza Hut commercial?

00:52:08.000 Yeah, I think so.

00:52:09.000 Weird.

00:52:10.000 Well, you have Joe Biden coming out saying, no, no amendment is absolute.

00:52:14.000 This was amazing.

00:52:15.000 We was talking, Joe Biden was talking about the second amendment.

00:52:17.000 He said, no amendment is absolute.

00:52:19.000 And ever since the inception of the amendment, there are some people who weren't allowed to own guns.

00:52:23.000 You know who those people were who weren't allowed to own guns?

00:52:26.000 When the second amendment was, was drafted?

00:52:28.000 Oh, I do.

00:52:28.000 Slaves.

00:52:30.000 Not a good point, Joe Biden.

00:52:32.000 Not surprising coming from Joe Biden, by the way.

00:52:34.000 I just heard him giving a speech downstairs and, man, he is not... Well, we actually have another story here on Biden.

00:52:42.000 Check this out.

00:52:43.000 Ted Cruz says Biden's comments on Chauvin verdict are grounds for a mistrial.

00:52:47.000 He's right.

00:52:48.000 We saw it with Maxine Waters.

00:52:50.000 She made these threats over the weekend, and the judge in the case said, I'll give you this, to defense, Congresswoman Waters' statements may give you something on appeal and could overturn the entire trial.

00:53:02.000 Then we had Joe Biden come out today.

00:53:04.000 I think it was today.

00:53:05.000 And he said he was hoping for the right verdict because the evidence was overwhelming.

00:53:10.000 Now, I don't know if that's grounds for a mistrial because the jurors were already sequestered.

00:53:15.000 But the idea that the Democrats were making public statements.

00:53:19.000 Influencing.

00:53:20.000 Absolutely.

00:53:21.000 Yeah.

00:53:22.000 You got these jurors, man.

00:53:23.000 They know their house is going to get burned to the ground unless they give the extremists what they want.

00:53:27.000 So they did.

00:53:28.000 There it is.

00:53:29.000 There's no justice.

00:53:30.000 There's no fair trial here.

00:53:31.000 Well, and then going back to the business stuff, it's the same way.

00:53:34.000 I mean, our business is going to be boycotted then if they don't comply to a policy initiative or what is going on in current events or the political space.

00:53:45.000 When I see people talk about censorship and the weird cancel culture stuff and they laugh about it, Yeah.

00:53:53.000 In a sense where it's like, they're not laughing because they think it's funny what's happening to people.

00:53:56.000 They laugh because it's like, it's just so absurd. 1.00

00:53:58.000 These people are crazy. 0.67

00:53:59.000 I'm like, you realize that level of social enforcement where they're censoring speech they don't like. 0.97

00:54:04.000 Right.

00:54:04.000 Where they're getting people fired from jobs because they spoke up or, you know, stood up.

00:54:10.000 That's how authoritarianism begins.

00:54:12.000 You know, I often say, in the context of reading, say, 1984 or Brave New World or Fahrenheit 451, Did everybody reading those just assume in those worlds one day, blink, there was an authoritarian government?

00:54:25.000 Just like you wake up one day and there's a guy on the screen saying, I am your dictator, ha ha ha.

00:54:29.000 No, it happens gradually through social acceptance and social pressure.

00:54:34.000 The only reason the government has power is because people have confidence in it.

00:54:37.000 So when you get to a point where everyone's like, I will either say nothing or I'll join the mob, congratulations, you are on that roller coaster heading right down into totalitarianism.

00:54:47.000 Yeah, I kind of actually feel quite sympathetic for the jurors.

00:54:51.000 People are saying, like, you know, they're pansies, they're being pushed around, and I don't think that's the case.

00:54:58.000 I agree that they could be much stronger, but I also sympathize that they're concerned about what's going to happen to their homes and their kids, you know, their families.

00:55:05.000 But Tim seems to disagree with that.

00:55:07.000 I think about the founding fathers, and I don't even know the number.

00:55:11.000 Many of the people who signed the Declaration of Independence had their homes burned to the ground.

00:55:14.000 Yeah, you're right.

00:55:15.000 They were killed.

00:55:17.000 And there are people right now... Could you imagine, like, if, like, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin, they're, like, you know, chillin', watching what's going on here, and they're, like, you know, a bunch of people died.

00:55:32.000 For freedom, for liberty, for the Constitution, for the Bill of Rights, for the right to individual freedoms.

00:55:37.000 And now you got people who won't even say words.

00:55:40.000 You got people that won't even risk losing money.

00:55:43.000 There are people who literally watched their homes get burned to the ground because they believed in something.

00:55:47.000 And today in America you have people who are like...

00:55:50.000 Don't don't look at me.

00:55:51.000 I don't want to be involved.

00:55:52.000 I'm not sticking my neck out for anybody.

00:55:54.000 So this is a point I made to Catalina on the drive back.

00:55:56.000 I don't think that we're going to be able to actually win this war or get our culture back without being inconvenienced.

00:56:02.000 We are in love with convenience.

00:56:05.000 We like everything to be soft and easy, perfectly temperature controlled. 0.97

00:56:10.000 We have serious first world problems and it is biting us in the butt.

00:56:13.000 You know what I think it is? 0.84

00:56:14.000 I'll say this.

00:56:17.000 In the 1760s up to 1780s and stuff with all the Revolutionary War, there was no air conditioning.

00:56:22.000 So everybody was already drenched in sweat and grime and all agitated.

00:56:26.000 So they were just ready for a fight.

00:56:28.000 It's like you're sitting there, you're in South Carolina.

00:56:32.000 You are sweating like crazy, and then you get a letter and you open it, you're drenched in sweat, and it's like, we are taxing your crop.

00:56:41.000 Ah!

00:56:41.000 Independence!

00:56:42.000 Banging on the table.

00:56:43.000 Now people are sitting in their massage chairs watching Nobody, the new movie, on Amazon Prime with a deep dish pizza overnighted from Chicago to wherever they are, and they're like, I mean... This is nice.

00:56:57.000 It could be worse.

00:56:58.000 Because it's not impacting their lives.

00:57:01.000 But then you see, look what happened with Robin Hood and GameStop and even the Twitter censorship, right?

00:57:10.000 When it affects people's lives personally, I think that's when people start kind of waking up and wanting to have a voice and saying that, look, this is not OK and you do need to push back.

00:57:23.000 But I think a big thing, too, is that our generation just really doesn't I think our history of our country and the fact that, you know, in the 40s, we were fighting fascism.

00:57:34.000 We were fighting Nazis and even in Vietnam, right? 0.61

00:57:37.000 I mean, we have our our country has been a beacon of hope and fighting the real ideologies out there and the real threat of authoritarianism decade after decade.

00:57:51.000 And yet and then even our founding and the fabric of how we we came to be America.

00:57:57.000 Why is that being lost in history?

00:57:59.000 Why aren't Millennials scared to the core of communism and socialism?

00:58:06.000 And then we're crazy because we come out and we say this is absolutely This is absurd that we're even having conversations like the Green New Deal or even what's happening now with the political unrest.

00:58:18.000 Well, the U.S.

00:58:20.000 fought the Nazis, like you said.

00:58:21.000 We as a country, we're engaged in war.

00:58:24.000 And there was a very atrocious political faction and factions, the Axis Powers. 1.00

00:58:30.000 And then we had the Cold War.

00:58:32.000 Yeah, so we were constantly in this ideological battle where we had to protect ourselves and then after the cold

00:58:37.000 war Or actually with uh with nixon and some of the other

00:58:40.000 administrations coming up to the end of the cold war I guess the u.s

00:58:43.000 Decided to open up trade to china maybe out of fear that if china went and allied with russia more seriously

00:58:49.000 Then we'd have lost the cold war or something like that now

00:58:53.000 The great ideological battle is the u.s versus china But we don't have national unity saying we must fight and 0.87

00:58:58.000 resist china the chinese communist party now It's just a bunch of billionaires saying stop criticizing

00:59:04.000 china. Come on, you know, just buy our stuff one That's a great point. But I also think about we were in

00:59:10.000 You know, the war on terror for 20 years when you're not only in the military or even public opinion, we look at when we get into these conflicts and it's like did we even have a goal?

00:59:22.000 I mean, why is this going on for 20 years?

00:59:24.000 And now we're going to talk about political unrest globally again.

00:59:29.000 I mean, it's it's it's almost a lack of leadership.

00:59:33.000 And in different administrations that I think have really caused this and even Congress to a fault and just just the

00:59:40.000 I don't want to Say it's not complete incompetence

00:59:43.000 But it's definitely agenda pushing from within that has put us in this position now

00:59:50.000 Like with China, I think we just don't have leaders. Yeah Right.

00:59:54.000 Oof.

00:59:55.000 That's the big challenge.

00:59:55.000 Yeah.

00:59:56.000 There are a few that I can easily name in terms of conservative leadership,

01:00:01.000 and it's people like Stephen Crowder and Tucker Carlson.

01:00:03.000 But they're not in politics.

01:00:06.000 Could you imagine if Crowder was in the Senate?

01:00:08.000 Like he'd actually be doing things.

01:00:12.000 Instead he's, you know, well he's doing something maybe arguably more important by being an influential voice.

01:00:18.000 And we were talking about this actually in the drive up, is just how everybody I think has kind of their own gifts

01:00:24.000 and their role in civic duty in a sense.

01:00:28.000 And I think journalists and people like Tucker Carlson and even you guys, I mean,

01:00:33.000 everybody kind of has their own way of kind of serving, right, serving others and serving, you know,

01:00:41.000 the fabric of our country in a sense here within.

01:00:45.000 You know, again, I think President Trump was a great leader, I think, in a lot of ways.

01:00:51.000 He stood up and he was the fighter that a lot of people wanted, and I think now a lot of people are craving that at all levels, locally, and they just want somebody who's not afraid to stand firm and stand up and fight and be principled.

01:01:06.000 Unlike the Republicans' leadership now, which are just wagging the finger at Maxine Waters.

01:01:11.000 But I will say of Trump, he was absolutely a fighter.

01:01:18.000 He was loud, bombastic, tweeted like crazy.

01:01:21.000 But people accepted that they finally had someone who was fighting on their behalf.

01:01:24.000 So what did the left say?

01:01:26.000 He was a strong man.

01:01:27.000 He was a dictator.

01:01:30.000 I'm sorry, man.

01:01:31.000 Donald Trump being loud, bombastic, and kind of erratic is better than Joe Biden stumbling down the stairs and being unable to negotiate with any of these countries and just being weak.

01:01:39.000 Trump was far from perfect, but at least he was just over that threshold of actually doing things and fighting for things.

01:01:45.000 I think a problem is, like, I keep thinking about Eisenhower, how he basically acknowledged the military-industrial complex and that they deferred leadership to this quiet, secretive organization, the Deep State.

01:01:56.000 Is somewhat running the government, running the world with military bases, establishing this liberal economic order around the globe.

01:02:03.000 Yeah.

01:02:04.000 So a real leader would stand up and say, I'm going to break this apart and get killed because they're there in the crosshairs.

01:02:10.000 They're vocally speaking.

01:02:11.000 They know where they work.

01:02:13.000 They work at the White House and they stand no chance.

01:02:16.000 They're surrounded by people that are working for that system, the military industrial complex.

01:02:20.000 It's so a real leader.

01:02:22.000 It's almost like you don't see them.

01:02:24.000 But we want someone to step up and speak, and we want that person to be the leader.

01:02:28.000 At least I do.

01:02:29.000 It's inspiring.

01:02:30.000 But in modern days, when the leaders are in the shadows, and I use the word leader in an odd way, the people that are making the decisions, maybe that's the leadership.

01:02:42.000 Oh and that's the same thing about with Eisenhower is like he was on the ground with his troops, right?

01:02:47.000 You read every type of servant leadership or leadership book whether it's business or military.

01:02:53.000 The best leaders are there on the ground with their people and the issue especially now when you bring up the establishment to kind of like tie everything together what we were talking about earlier is that these people sit in their ivory tower and they're in D.C.

01:03:08.000 You have these bureaucrats. 0.96

01:03:09.000 You have these people that are in a faraway place, as Reagan used to say, and they're not in tune with the everyday American.

01:03:16.000 They're not in tune with what people want and where the country is going.

01:03:20.000 Why are our manufacturing companies are getting shipped off to China?

01:03:24.000 Because our politicians don't understand small business owners and they don't understand how their policies are affecting everyday people and everyday lives.

01:03:32.000 And I think that's the biggest issue.

01:03:33.000 We don't have enough people on the ground.

01:03:35.000 I would love to see a president or like a leader get on like a video

01:03:38.000 chat conference with 30 other people and just listen to them all.

01:03:42.000 For like two or three hours a day.

01:03:42.000 Right.

01:03:43.000 Right.

01:03:45.000 Well, the the the two big issues that I see, one, economics,

01:03:49.000 obviously, under Donald Trump.

01:03:50.000 Yeah.

01:03:50.000 The economy did really well in 2019.

01:03:52.000 It was kind of a crazy year.

01:03:53.000 Just everything was going so great for so many people.

01:03:55.000 And then COVID happened, which then everything kind of went really bad for a lot of people.

01:03:58.000 But under Trump, the economy, when things were not, you know, COVID.

01:04:02.000 But you also had the critical race theory stuff, which is now becoming more and more pervasive.

01:04:06.000 Donald Trump signed those executive orders.

01:04:07.000 I don't think he understood the problem enough.

01:04:09.000 but he still took action. And now you have Joe Biden basically going as woke as possible,

01:04:14.000 rescinding these executive orders. And now it's going to start getting,

01:04:18.000 it's going to start getting really, really bad. I mean, these people are overtly racist

01:04:22.000 and the policies that they push are incredibly divisive. So I have to wonder, because we've

01:04:28.000 had this conversation with China Uncensored, I think, and James Lindsay, actually, where,

01:04:32.000 you know, what is China doing in terms of the wokeness and the culture war?

01:04:37.000 And it may be that they're exacerbating it.

01:04:39.000 They're trying to.

01:04:40.000 So while they're extracting our manufacturing base in our economy, they're also helping to seed an extremely divisive and racist Ideology, which, in my opinion, is antithetical to the Constitution and, you know, what Americans believe.

01:04:55.000 But that is becoming more and more pervasive.

01:04:57.000 You get someone like Joe Biden, you get someone like Kamala Harris, and that's it.

01:04:59.000 It's going to start spreading.

01:05:00.000 It's going to get worse.

01:05:01.000 And then we're going to see more and more Democrats start embracing this stuff.

01:05:05.000 You start seeing even some Republicans, you know, start to dance around this kind of stuff.

01:05:10.000 And then eventually you'll have a bunch of weird cult dogma ideology, which, as far as I'm concerned, may as well be a religion.

01:05:17.000 And it's going to be infecting government.

01:05:18.000 And we were talking about flow state yesterday.

01:05:21.000 You ever do meditation?

01:05:22.000 Absolutely.

01:05:24.000 Love meditation.

01:05:25.000 This racism and this weird ideology that you're talking about, it's like it's infected the mind and it's making people think on overload and overload.

01:05:33.000 Maybe it's not making it, but that's what they're... So when you can clear your mind, that's the way out.

01:05:39.000 I think people are...

01:05:42.000 What's the right way to put it?

01:05:43.000 They, I think deep down, many people know it's an, it's an inherently evil and just like corrupt ideology, but they know that if they speak up, they'll be canceled.

01:05:53.000 They'll be threatened.

01:05:54.000 So it's like the jurors, you know what I mean?

01:05:56.000 They, they're like, I'm not going to say anything because I don't want my house burned down.

01:05:58.000 There's a lot of people who are like, I'm not going to challenge the, the woke, you know, establishment and this critical race theory stuff, because it'll destroy my life and my career.

01:06:06.000 But then you look at someone like you, I mean, you, you talk about it almost every day and complain about it and your career is thriving.

01:06:12.000 And that's why I keep telling people to start doing it, to start standing up, because it's... I don't know exactly where the quote comes from.

01:06:12.000 So.

01:06:21.000 I will tell you that I think I accidentally made up a quote from Andrew Breitbart, where someone told me this.

01:06:26.000 They said, I was told that Breitbart said this and he didn't, but it was, you walk towards the fire, and it's scary at first, but on the other side is freedom.

01:06:34.000 And so you have all these people who are seeing this fire and they're like, I can't do it.

01:06:37.000 I can't.

01:06:38.000 And then I'm like, watch.

01:06:38.000 It's bad.

01:06:40.000 And I run and I jump, jump over the fire, jump through the wall and you're fine.

01:06:43.000 Jump right through.

01:06:44.000 No problem.

01:06:45.000 And there's freedom on the other side.

01:06:46.000 We're all hanging out.

01:06:46.000 We're all, we're all free.

01:06:48.000 No, no one can do anything to us.

01:06:49.000 They can't take anything away from us.

01:06:51.000 We've built something new that is ours.

01:06:53.000 But you have to keep moving when you get close to that fire.

01:06:55.000 Cause if you stop and you panic, you're going to burn to death.

01:06:59.000 But is it, does it all come down to, and almost to bring in the meditation aspect as well, and like the self and the ego and all that, is it a courage issue, right?

01:07:09.000 And like a lot of people, you know, our country was founded upon individual liberty, personal responsibility, to take risks, to be whoever you want to be, there's no ceiling, you know, you define who you are, you define your own destiny.

01:07:22.000 But then we've slowly eroded into, no, you must comply.

01:07:26.000 You are in this social order.

01:07:27.000 You are, you know, even with the school system, you know, you kind of have to fit this mold.

01:07:33.000 And are we as a society just so, have we just been so kind of lead on to this kind of social structure this is the way things are supposed to be therefore we we shouldn't speak out we shouldn't have the courage to speak out and then it goes back to kind of like meditation is that are we all just striving to kind of unlock that courage and unlock that that self and get rid of that ego and stand firm and kind of move forward and I think more people need to

01:08:03.000 Yeah, for sure.

01:08:04.000 I was, growing up in a public school system, I was always afraid to speak out, hand up.

01:08:08.000 I didn't want to get in trouble.

01:08:10.000 I don't want to get in trouble.

01:08:10.000 That was a big part of it.

01:08:11.000 And taking psychedelics opened my mind and made me realize how powerful I am as an individual.

01:08:17.000 Especially marijuana was the first one, psilocybin.

01:08:20.000 And the government has made those substances illegal for a reason.

01:08:24.000 It's not a weird coincidence.

01:08:26.000 Those are powerful individual creationism tactics to use chemicals in life.

01:08:34.000 And it's very dangerous for the natural order to constantly have upheaval.

01:08:40.000 So I understand why they're controlled in a way.

01:08:43.000 But to our detriment, as we can see, a psilocybin was just made legal in D.C.

01:08:47.000 and used for PTSD.

01:08:49.000 And I'm sorry, you looked like you were about to say something.

01:08:51.000 No, but we can talk.

01:08:53.000 You were mentioning something before because we were just talking about the critical race theory stuff.

01:08:56.000 Yeah.

01:08:57.000 Or say I brought it up, but you were mentioning something about schools and like furries and things like that.

01:09:01.000 Yes.

01:09:02.000 So you have.

01:09:03.000 So there are a lot of different states passing bills now that critical race theory and all this critical theory in general, I suppose.

01:09:12.000 Right.

01:09:13.000 Being it's now being implemented at a state level perspective and then the school boards can either determine whether or not they obviously wanted to encourage it, but there's a huge problem because then again you get back to being bullied and and bullied into submission and if you're that one parent that stands up and says I'm not okay with my child.

01:09:35.000 Not only the teacher talking about this stuff, but my child having to comply and sit there and listen to this.

01:09:42.000 Are you then, you know, your house being burned to the ground because you're one parent that had courage to stand up for their child?

01:09:49.000 And then on a state level, when you have your elected officials pushing this, and a state perspective, where is the control, right?

01:09:57.000 Who does have the power to get that stuff out of our school systems? 0.96

01:10:00.000 The parents should, the school board should, not the state.

01:10:04.000 What's interesting about this stuff is that because critical theory is a religion, but it's not recognized legally as one, it's basically them putting religion into the schools, into the public schools.

01:10:13.000 Right.

01:10:14.000 These are people who believe insane things that aren't true.

01:10:18.000 They believe things that are not based in fact or history.

01:10:22.000 And the teachers are teaching it.

01:10:24.000 They're creating diversity, inclusivity, and equity positions at corporations.

01:10:30.000 This is religious.

01:10:31.000 It's non-theistic religion.

01:10:33.000 So now it's in schools.

01:10:34.000 Dogmatic.

01:10:35.000 Right.

01:10:35.000 And then who determines, especially in a company, who determines what the criteria is if you're not complying with their diversity and inclusion?

01:10:43.000 Your priest.

01:10:45.000 Your woke priest.

01:10:46.000 The woke equivalent of one.

01:10:48.000 The chief diversity officer acts as the internal party member to tell you what is right or wrong.

01:10:56.000 But more specifically, correct me if I'm wrong, but you were mentioning something about schools protecting furries?

01:11:02.000 Is this true?

01:11:06.000 Yeah, I won't name the school, but this actually happened and it's very similar to kind of the gender things as well.

01:11:16.000 If you are a teacher and you don't refer to somebody as their correct pronoun or now a furry, for example, you could be fired or you can be in trouble, suspended, whatever it might be.

01:11:31.000 For those that aren't familiar with what a- you guys all know what furries are, right?

01:11:34.000 Yeah, but enlighten me.

01:11:35.000 So they're basically people who have some kind of- they identify with anthropomorphic cartoon animals.

01:11:44.000 So they have- and some people refer to them as like fetishists, others say it's just more of an identity thing.

01:11:49.000 But the reason I thought that was interesting when you brought this up before is because I've talked about this that under the New York City human rights law It does provide legal protection legal protection to furries So people who want to wear a fursuit to work Under the law should be legally allowed to do it the law states at least in New York That gender identity is self-expression and that you cannot be discriminated against based on what you wear, what you call yourself.

01:12:16.000 And for obvious reasons, right?

01:12:18.000 If a transgender person is, you know, if it's someone born male and then they identify as female and they're wearing a dress and they say their name is Susan, the idea is the business can't discriminate against them based on those characteristics.

01:12:29.000 But then it opens the door for things like furries.

01:12:32.000 And I think the thing about furries is that It's interesting because it's a recognizable identity, group of people, that is, I mean, they have they have conventions.

01:12:42.000 There's a lot of them.

01:12:44.000 So you can't act like it's not real.

01:12:46.000 And they're protected under these rules.

01:12:48.000 So, you know, earlier before the show, you were mentioning something about how like a school, there was like a teacher, I guess, who didn't want to do it or something.

01:12:54.000 Well, yeah, and I won't name the day, but yeah, a teacher was like, I cannot believe that I, you know, I could get in trouble because I call this person by their name and not by their, you know, furry.

01:13:08.000 Fursona.

01:13:09.000 I don't know.

01:13:10.000 I've never heard what that is until this particular instance and it's this is happening in a lot of different places.

01:13:19.000 This is happening in states all across the country and well particularly more blue states for you know obvious reasons from a policy perspective but this is happening a lot and like and parents probably don't even know And then their kids have to deal with the stuff at school.

01:13:35.000 I mean, it's just so it seems so bizarre to me.

01:13:38.000 I think there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.

01:13:41.000 Homeschool your kids. 0.99

01:13:43.000 This is going to encourage more and more parents to get out of the public school system.

01:13:43.000 Right.

01:13:47.000 Everything the left has been doing has been pushing this country, in my opinion, closer towards Ancapistan. 0.91

01:13:55.000 Defund the police!

01:13:56.000 Okay, we'll hire private police.

01:13:58.000 We're gonna indoctrinate your kids in your schools, then we're gonna create our own school pods and pull our kids out. 1.00

01:14:03.000 It's forcing families to basically privatize things.

01:14:06.000 And you have so many moms or parents that were never even political at all, but then they see this stuff infiltrating from a political perspective and they're like, wow, I need to get involved because this has gotten to a point where it's affecting me and my children.

01:14:20.000 And and that really kind of wakes people up as well. I mean I hear this all the time in the campaign trail

01:14:24.000 They're like I never followed politics until this stuff was happening

01:14:27.000 and so there that is a silver lining to very stuff like Little kids that were sat down in front of like Teletubbies

01:14:35.000 or like cartoons with like a broken family I think so. I don't know about broken family, but I think

01:14:40.000 if someone identifies with Anthropomorphic cartoon animals I have to imagine that they

01:14:45.000 spent a decent amount of time as a child watching anthropomorphic cartoon animals and then built an

01:14:52.000 identity around that.

01:14:53.000 Tiny Toons?

01:14:54.000 Yeah, if you're a little kid and you're not interacting with adult human beings, And they're putting in front of a TV where you're watching, you know, Berenstain Bears and Tiny Toons or Looney Tunes or whatever, then you're seeing cartoon animals talking and your brain is being wired for that to be adult society.

01:15:11.000 Interesting.

01:15:12.000 So you build this identity around cartoon animals that talk and act like people.

01:15:17.000 And then you get people who dress up like that identify that way.

01:15:20.000 If I played Age of Empires as a kid, do I get to be Joan of Arc then?

01:15:25.000 If you play Age of Empires as a kid, you may end up, I don't know, running for office to become some kind of political politician.

01:15:34.000 Kids need to play more outside or something.

01:15:37.000 I mean, this has just gotten... I think strategy games are incredible for your brain.

01:15:41.000 Oh, they are.

01:15:42.000 Kids need jobs.

01:15:45.000 But not the awful kind of jobs from the industrial era, like hanging out with your dad and, you know, watching him.

01:15:52.000 Yeah, like raising chickens.

01:15:53.000 That's what I did.

01:15:54.000 The children should be watching their parents work in some capacity.

01:15:57.000 So that's what I mean by jobs.

01:15:58.000 Be like, hey, I'm going to be building this thing.

01:16:01.000 Come watch and I'll show you what I'm doing.

01:16:02.000 So kids should apprentice?

01:16:03.000 Right.

01:16:04.000 Yeah.

01:16:05.000 That's what they used to do.

01:16:06.000 The kid would watch their parent do a certain task and learn how to do it.

01:16:10.000 So play outside, play strategy games, and apprentice?

01:16:14.000 That's the key to parenting, I think.

01:16:15.000 There you go.

01:16:18.000 As a non-parent, that's the way I would parent.

01:16:21.000 Kids want to be like adults. 0.98

01:16:23.000 So they're looking up to adults and they're emulating that behavior.

01:16:26.000 If we put kids around a bunch of kids, they just emulate each other and then they get their behaviors from an amalgamation of weird YouTube videos and, you know, celebrities.

01:16:36.000 Why aren't the parents saying, Parents are working.

01:16:39.000 Both mom and dad are at work.

01:16:41.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:16:42.000 Or they don't realize how powerful, like, media can warp a brain.

01:16:46.000 Right.

01:16:47.000 Especially a young brain.

01:16:48.000 Yeah.

01:16:49.000 This is so interesting to me because my family got static because we were homeschooled and everyone's like, well, they need to be socialized.

01:16:55.000 They need to be around other kids their age.

01:16:57.000 And my parents are like, no, they're around adults.

01:16:59.000 You know, adults will show them how to speak and how to act.

01:17:02.000 And they don't really need that influence.

01:17:04.000 And I did wish that I had more friends.

01:17:06.000 But at the same time, I feel like I did mature faster because I was around people who already had this developed sense of self.

01:17:12.000 To me, it was a net benefit because it's like you need that positive influence of adults in your life, not just other kids.

01:17:19.000 Yeah no I was homeschooled too and I think for high school I was not good in school at all and it kind of goes back to you know everybody trying to fit somebody into a box.

01:17:29.000 I think all kids really learn differently and school is just not for me but then I was homeschooled and I ended up graduating a few years early and just really thriving because not only are you around kind of adults but you're also able to kind of understand curriculum or you know almost read and and be outside of this kind of construct and the complexities that come in a classroom, right?

01:17:54.000 That come with a classroom and other kids and things like that.

01:17:57.000 So I'm a huge proponent of school choice, especially in homeschooling.

01:18:01.000 And, you know, every kid should learn their own way.

01:18:04.000 And yeah, there's a social aspect of that.

01:18:07.000 So you went to public school in the beginning?

01:18:09.000 Yeah, I did.

01:18:10.000 I did.

01:18:11.000 I went to public school.

01:18:12.000 For how long?

01:18:13.000 Up until about high school.

01:18:14.000 And then by choice did you leave?

01:18:16.000 No yeah you know what I just I didn't I never found I don't know if I was challenged or it was just a different I wasn't challenged enough but I just learned differently and I ended up homeschooling and then going to the community college back home and basically skipping junior and senior year of college and then going straight into University at Miami of Ohio for a four-year degree.

01:18:44.000 So kind of did a weird route.

01:18:47.000 If you could do it again, would you have homeschooled the entire time or do you think it helped that you spent some time?

01:18:53.000 That's a good question.

01:18:54.000 I don't know.

01:18:55.000 I would I think Probably up until elementary school I think public school is okay or like being around other kids is fine but then there gets to a point where you know all kids are learning differently or at that time it was like you're either put into you know higher level classes or you're not or if you were a lot of it was I think it's I guess in short I'm glad I did at least by elementary school and a little bit of middle school

01:19:27.000 In the public space, but then ultimately kind of where I needed to get serious and needed to get into college and needed to kind of focus and thrive, I was able to do that by being outside of homeschooled at a high school level.

01:19:41.000 You used the internet a lot when you were homeschooling?

01:19:43.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:19:44.000 That's the key, man.

01:19:47.000 We are in the era where you can teach yourself.

01:19:47.000 It's a secret.

01:19:51.000 Yeah, you become an autodidact, right?

01:19:56.000 I feel like I was such an avid reader as a kid and like always kind of wanted to explore other topics and I just did not conform to this Kind of just this the the structure of public school and just what they wanted to Teach it just was not my thing But I did they say nasty things about you where your teachers like if you don't do this, you're gonna end up working at McDonald's Oh, yeah, absolutely.

01:20:23.000 I was like it was crazy I was at I think like a junior level reading level and I was in like third grade or something great like And I only say that because in this school and in some public schools you have teachers that they they look at kids and they're like well you're not smart enough and you're not that well my test scores proved otherwise I just wasn't you know good at school I guess.

01:20:47.000 And that really hurts self-esteem because I knew I was smart, but I just never

01:20:52.000 But when you have people telling you that you're not fitting a mold or you don't have teachers that are

01:20:57.000 Encouraging you in a positive way, which I had great teachers, but I also had kind of bad ones like every kid,

01:21:03.000 and you can talk about this I'm sure from a homeschool perspective is

01:21:03.000 right?

01:21:07.000 When you have people at such a young age like not Encouraging you or not wanting to kind of one-on-one or

01:21:14.000 help you from a learning perspective And that's where the parent comes in and my parents came in

01:21:18.000 they were like, you know what you're you're not doing great in school

01:21:21.000 Let's try.

01:21:22.000 We know that you're smart, but let's find a different avenue for you That's the parents have to take that responsibility, right?

01:21:29.000 But it does it does hurt your self-esteem when you're a kid and because they're like, well, you're different from I kind of had the opposite reaction when I was in school Yeah, I would do well on tests, but just not care for the homework.

01:21:41.000 I just got more arrogant the more they told me I was wrong and I was like, so I remember I had one instance in math class when I was like in seventh grade or something.

01:21:50.000 And it was like a really stupid problem, like 30 minus 50. 0.59

01:21:54.000 And I was like dozing off, not paying attention to my teachers, like, who can answer this question? 0.98

01:21:58.000 And then she calls on me thinking she got me.

01:22:00.000 And I look at it and I'm like negative 20.

01:22:02.000 And then I go back to like doodling stick figures.

01:22:03.000 And then she demanded of me, like, what's the formula?

01:22:07.000 And I was like, formula for what?

01:22:09.000 Like, how did you come to the answer that, you know, 30 minus 50 is negative 20?

01:22:12.000 And I was like, 3-5?

01:22:15.000 What do you mean?

01:22:16.000 It's just arithmetic I did in my head.

01:22:19.000 And then I got in trouble.

01:22:20.000 I got detention because of it. 0.99

01:22:21.000 And so I was like, this just proves these people are morons because I can do it instantly and they can't. 0.99

01:22:26.000 I the biggest frustration of mine. 1.00

01:22:28.000 I remember I was chewing gum in school.

01:22:30.000 I think I was in middle school or something.

01:22:31.000 I was chewing gum and I forgot to spit it out before getting into class.

01:22:36.000 And I did it twice, I guess, in the same week.

01:22:40.000 My teacher deducted from my grade because I was chewing gum.

01:22:44.000 And at that point I was like, this is unacceptable.

01:22:48.000 You are a teacher.

01:22:49.000 You are here to teach me this subject.

01:22:51.000 You are not here to discipline me over gum.

01:22:53.000 This is communism.

01:22:55.000 And I freaked out, I swear.

01:22:57.000 I was like, this is, at that point, I was probably in middle school.

01:23:01.000 And I was like, at this point, this is, I'm like, I'm being punished from a grade perspective.

01:23:08.000 And because I was chewing gum.

01:23:11.000 How hilarious would it be to see 13-year-old Catalina screaming at the teacher, this is communism!

01:23:17.000 Telling me not to chew gum is communism!

01:23:19.000 No, but it shows that deducting your points wasn't about your skill or abilities.

01:23:19.000 I love it.

01:23:24.000 It was about you being a perfect little drone and doing as you're told.

01:23:26.000 Exactly.

01:23:27.000 And then, you know, nobody that, everybody that did what they were told got perfect grades.

01:23:32.000 That's communism.

01:23:32.000 They'll pass you through school.

01:23:34.000 I had a class in college that I never attended.

01:23:36.000 I think I attended the first day and then just stopped going.

01:23:38.000 I missed the midterm test and they were like, it's an automatic failure.

01:23:42.000 I was like, Hey, I went in, I talked to the guy, charmed him.

01:23:44.000 And I was like, Can I somehow do anything to pass?

01:23:47.000 And he's like, if you can get an A on the final, I'll give you a D and pass you.

01:23:51.000 So I studied, I got an A on the final, and they passed me.

01:23:53.000 Totally against... They just liked me.

01:23:57.000 I don't want to swear, but that whole system is rigged and jacked, in my opinion.

01:24:02.000 It's so easy to get through it if they like you and it's like you said they'll just if you're arrogant they just want to destroy you because they're they're egomaniacs.

01:24:10.000 And then think about the political stuff sorry to interrupt you but think about politics.

01:24:14.000 I was very outspoken as a kid or as a college student at my school and I had professors that I would get bad grades because I on a test if I didn't agree with them And I'll say that now and I'm proud of it because I look at some kids now and they're on campus and they're like, well, I just I really want to write the right thing so that my professor doesn't, you know, fail me because I'm a conservative.

01:24:41.000 That is a huge problem.

01:24:43.000 That is a very bad problem.

01:24:46.000 Sounds like his conservatives are spineless.

01:24:48.000 Or just kids in gyro.

01:24:50.000 I'd rather have a D. No, I'd rather fail.

01:24:53.000 Yeah, I'd rather fail.

01:24:54.000 The problem is they're spending all this money to go there, and if they disagree with their professor and fail, then they've wasted their money, basically.

01:25:01.000 So they have to agree with something they don't agree with.

01:25:04.000 And it's warping these kids into crazy probably is what's happening.

01:25:08.000 Yep.

01:25:08.000 I'm so agitated today because of this Chauvin thing.

01:25:11.000 School cuts off the tall grass.

01:25:14.000 If you are young and talented, they do everything to hold you back and try and stuff you in a box.

01:25:20.000 It moves at a specific pace.

01:25:22.000 If you're not fast enough, you get left behind.

01:25:24.000 If you're too fast, you get pulled back.

01:25:27.000 Yeah well then you're told that you're different and then we think about I love for example Ayn Rand and The Fountainhead and a lot of her books and you think about all these entrepreneurs and people who weren't good in school and they you know do great things in the world and why aren't those people celebrated but instead we need to protect the structure of the public school system and protect Everybody kind of is the same.

01:25:52.000 I think that's to the detriment of individuality in a lot of ways.

01:25:57.000 It is.

01:25:57.000 It's communism.

01:25:58.000 Public education is an incredible boon.

01:26:01.000 Before we had it, it was hard to get an education, but now we don't need this weird regiment.

01:26:05.000 We have the internet and access to the information, so we can still provide the boon.

01:26:10.000 I'll be honest, man.

01:26:11.000 Kids should be learning stuff way before five years old.

01:26:15.000 And so the idea that an American kid is going to sit around watching nothing but cartoons until five and then go to school to learn the stuff is insane.

01:26:22.000 How horrible for a smart kid.

01:26:25.000 To make it also not to bring up politics, but to bring up politics.

01:26:29.000 There was a school in Illinois and they had the worst percentage of their kids were not reading and writing.

01:26:38.000 I mean they had the worst test scores but that the biggest priority for them was renaming the school.

01:26:44.000 They didn't want it to be called Thomas Jefferson anymore.

01:26:46.000 They wanted it to be called because of the race relations and tearing down statues and all that.

01:26:53.000 That's what you're focused on when your kids are at 11% reading at literacy rate against the state.

01:27:00.000 When did this happen?

01:27:01.000 This was recently.

01:27:02.000 Did they change it to George Floyd Middle School?

01:27:02.000 This was a couple months ago.

01:27:04.000 You know, they wanted it Barack Obama Middle School, but then people started to push back on that because he didn't do enough for DACA and immigration.

01:27:16.000 Again, your school is failing.

01:27:19.000 It was in a predominantly minority district, so people say, well, we're against, you know, why aren't you, if you want to help minorities, then, you know, help Increase your literacy rates.

01:27:31.000 Increase people being able to thrive and get out of the system, whatever it might be.

01:27:36.000 Hold on.

01:27:37.000 I'm sorry, Catalina.

01:27:37.000 No, no, no.

01:27:39.000 That is racist.

01:27:39.000 The reason they can't thrive is not because they don't know how to read.

01:27:42.000 It's because of white supremacy. 0.97

01:27:44.000 Right. 0.54

01:27:45.000 It's just so much easier.

01:27:46.000 Should I teach the kid to read or just point at Ian and be like, Ian, you're a, the problem with that and why it gets, why some people actually might think it is because in the early 1800s when the slavery system was there, there were like white people that had black slaves and they were keeping them illiterate on purpose because they wanted to keep them disempowered and unable to, to migrate basically.

01:28:07.000 They're just, they're using all this stuff as a scapegoat.

01:28:10.000 Because it wasn't that they were white and black.

01:28:12.000 It didn't matter what their races were.

01:28:13.000 They just happened to be those people at that time.

01:28:16.000 Slavery is all over the planet.

01:28:16.000 Access to information.

01:28:18.000 Access to information and poverty.

01:28:18.000 Indeed.

01:28:21.000 These are major issues that create injustice.

01:28:26.000 Right.

01:28:27.000 Like, the lack of it, I mean.

01:28:29.000 Like, people who can't access the internet, or who are not able to learn the truth about what's going on, who have bad teachers, or who are forced to go to these institutional learning facilities and they can't learn.

01:28:41.000 People who have access to knowledge and people who are... I mean, poverty is connected to that.

01:28:45.000 If you're poor, the likelihood that you're reading the classics and powerful books and philosophy is lower.

01:28:50.000 According to Democrats, though, you can't even get a license if you're a minority, let alone access the Internet.

01:28:56.000 So that's the opportunity thing.

01:28:58.000 They think the opportunity doesn't exist, when quite literally it's an outcome issue.

01:29:04.000 But the opportunity does exist.

01:29:05.000 If people aren't doing it, there's...

01:29:07.000 Personal choice involved.

01:29:08.000 You're making me think about censorship and like this whole censorship thing is that although they may think the CEOs may think they're doing something good by keeping dangerous information away from you, they might actually be punishing us because sometimes you need to see all sides of a situation.

01:29:24.000 Mein Kampf is a book.

01:29:26.000 People read it and become more intelligent and intellectual, understanding the way a psychopath may think.

01:29:31.000 Not necessarily emulating it, but you must see the demon to circumvent the demon.

01:29:38.000 And I'm scared that if we censor too much information that we'll end up becoming whitewashed and basically fall prey to this stuff when it does arise.

01:29:46.000 It's like book burning.

01:29:47.000 I mean the books being taken off of the internet or you know whatever it might be.

01:29:53.000 It's the same thing.

01:29:55.000 Who ultimately decides what is wrong and what is to be read?

01:29:59.000 That is always the question is who decides what gets to stay and what gets censored.

01:30:05.000 And the point that we made on the show several times during the lockdown, people couldn't go to bars, people couldn't talk to each other, but you could go online.

01:30:05.000 Right.

01:30:12.000 The only problem is your opinions were filtered through Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, so certain ideas weren't allowed to propagate.

01:30:18.000 Right.

01:30:18.000 Creepy stuff.

01:30:19.000 And I'm sure FaceTime does that have... And with that being said, I will state I got suspended from Facebook over the weekend.

01:30:28.000 Yeah, what happened?

01:30:29.000 I made a joke about cops being racist.

01:30:32.000 No, seriously.

01:30:32.000 Too spicy?

01:30:33.000 I was like, I was like, I'm gonna make a joke that basically is a cops are racist joke.

01:30:39.000 And it was not that spicy at all.

01:30:41.000 It was like, how many cops does it take to change a light bulb?

01:30:42.000 I guess I won't tell the joke.

01:30:44.000 It was just about, you know, the light bulb going black.

01:30:47.000 And then I posted on Facebook and they suspended me for 24 hours.

01:30:52.000 I thought it was hilarious that of all the things I say, it's the calling cops racist is the thing that gets me.

01:30:58.000 All right, Facebook, whatever you say, man.

01:31:00.000 But I do appreciate that the people who watch me and follow me don't get offended when I make a joke like that, because it's a smart bunch who watch this show, you know?

01:31:11.000 Politically nuanced and understanding and okay with humor.

01:31:15.000 They're craving authenticity, too.

01:31:17.000 And I talk about that in the campaign trail a lot, and white people probably just love You and in the podcast and why people come to a lot of these different mediums now and gravitate towards people who are just honest and authentic and you can still, you know, joke.

01:31:35.000 I mean, we're getting to this point where it's like everything offends everybody.

01:31:40.000 Yeah, that's Fahrenheit 451, isn't it?

01:31:43.000 Yeah.

01:31:44.000 That's even scarier.

01:31:45.000 It's like you can't even, you can't even talk.

01:31:48.000 Everything's offensive.

01:31:49.000 You got to get rid of the books.

01:31:50.000 In text it is.

01:31:52.000 You can't read the room when there's, in text is my thoughts.

01:31:55.000 Like I have been so inundated with text in the last 16 years since like the internet comments, basically YouTube comments.

01:32:02.000 And 14 years, 15 years, that now when I get a text from my dad, who's one of my best friends, I just look at it like every other person.

01:32:09.000 I'm cold.

01:32:11.000 I'm dismissive to it because it's just text in my face.

01:32:14.000 If there's some criticism in it, I don't hear his voice.

01:32:17.000 I don't feel his wisdom.

01:32:19.000 I just see his profanity.

01:32:21.000 Well, how about we take some advice from the Super Chats and see what they have to say. 0.98

01:32:24.000 If you haven't already, you can leave a Super Chat.

01:32:26.000 We'll try and read as many as we can.

01:32:27.000 We've got a lot of Super Chats.

01:32:29.000 Are we still online?

01:32:30.000 Yeah.

01:32:30.000 Oh, I thought we weren't.

01:32:32.000 So we have a multiple redundancy.

01:32:32.000 No, no, no.

01:32:34.000 So sometimes when you hear that boo-boo-boo, it like cuts off and in real quick.

01:32:38.000 Oh, yeah.

01:32:38.000 Oh, OK.

01:32:39.000 We got Super Chats.

01:32:40.000 People are giving us money to be able to say things.

01:32:43.000 I love it.

01:32:43.000 So if you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, hit the notification bell, and go to TimCast.com, become a member, because we will have an exclusive members-only segment coming up after the show.

01:32:52.000 Yes.

01:32:52.000 Let's read.

01:32:53.000 We got Kat Garcia who says, Hey guys, in Animal Farm, the animals sat atop the knoll and sadly realized this was the system they had bled for.

01:33:01.000 Are we those animals, sadly sitting atop the hill, realizing there is no recourse for the system we helped create?

01:33:08.000 Man.

01:33:08.000 There is hope.

01:33:09.000 Yeah, I was going to say.

01:33:10.000 I don't know.

01:33:11.000 Sometimes I might be pessimistic, but I don't want to be that pessimistic.

01:33:14.000 You can change a lot really fast, especially with the ability to communicate on the Internet horizontally instead of vertically.

01:33:22.000 You don't have to get 50 people in a room.

01:33:24.000 You can get 100 million people in a room.

01:33:27.000 Well, Poofy followed it up with, we're seeing all of the institutions that make the U.S.

01:33:31.000 great turn to smoldering ash.

01:33:33.000 That's good.

01:33:35.000 Yeah, it's kind of brutal.

01:33:37.000 It is, yeah.

01:33:38.000 Oh, man.

01:33:39.000 People are pretty pessimistic in the chat right now.

01:33:41.000 I don't know if I can keep being like a beacon of light to all these negative comments.

01:33:45.000 No, you can.

01:33:46.000 Free speech still reigns supreme.

01:33:48.000 I'll tell you why.

01:33:49.000 Because we have people like Catalina who are literally running for office, people who are like my age.

01:33:54.000 I'm like, she's We're actually doing something.

01:33:55.000 That's awesome.

01:33:56.000 Thank you.

01:33:56.000 But so are you guys.

01:33:57.000 And I always hound in on the point of local level, school board, state rep, federal.

01:34:05.000 Get involved.

01:34:06.000 Be a precinct captain.

01:34:07.000 Be a committeeman.

01:34:09.000 Knock doors for people. 0.55

01:34:10.000 Get involved.

01:34:11.000 You can change things, but we need to mobilize on a bigger scale.

01:34:16.000 All right, Arsion says, the verdict, Chauvin means justice doesn't have to exist if you're hated enough.

01:34:21.000 Your justice is now a popularity contest.

01:34:24.000 Chauvin was apparently, he wanted to plead guilty to third degree murder, because he knew it was done, no matter what.

01:34:24.000 Yeah.

01:34:30.000 He's afraid.

01:34:31.000 He knew the politics of it was gonna, but he didn't.

01:34:34.000 They didn't allow him to, I guess.

01:34:35.000 They took the third degree murder charge out, and then made it second degree murder, and then he was like, Dude, it seems like a setup, to be honest.

01:34:43.000 They wanted this.

01:34:44.000 They wanted this not guilty- I'm sorry, they wanted this guilty verdict.

01:34:47.000 It's such a dark- It was such a dark day for me today.

01:34:51.000 And I saw, like, images of people crying.

01:34:54.000 Like, grief.

01:34:55.000 That even though he was found guilty, it wasn't what they were- It's like when you kill the enemy you hate and you realize that wasn't- Vengeance wasn't what made me happy.

01:35:03.000 Yeah, revenge doesn't make that pain go away.

01:35:06.000 Doesn't work.

01:35:07.000 Unreasonably angry says do these jurors not realize they're not safe from these marchers regardless of their verdict.

01:35:13.000 They don't they don't get it.

01:35:14.000 Well, I am I'll say they're safer I guess to a certain degree.

01:35:19.000 For now.

01:35:21.000 Turnabout turnip knoll says even my black co-worker thinks the riots are completely chaotic.

01:35:25.000 The riots would happen no matter what the outcome was.

01:35:28.000 We will see.

01:35:29.000 We'll see.

01:35:31.000 Matt M says the jury only delayed the inevitable.

01:35:33.000 He'll appeal the verdict, we'll get overthrown, and we will be back where we are now.

01:35:40.000 This verdict is only going to hurt communities that will be under police now.

01:35:44.000 If they did not indict Derek Chauvin, the riots would have happened anyway.

01:35:49.000 They would have stopped, and it'd be done.

01:35:50.000 There'd be no riots right now.

01:35:52.000 Maybe the Dante Wright thing would happen, but maybe that whole chain of offense, butterfly effect, who knows what would happen.

01:35:56.000 Drawing it out.

01:35:57.000 Yeah, they're drawing it out.

01:35:58.000 Doing the trial again reignites all that anger.

01:36:01.000 So there you go.

01:36:02.000 There you go.

01:36:03.000 Ugh.

01:36:04.000 You're a cheerful one.

01:36:05.000 Delhiopolis says, how can you continue to say violence doesn't work if today proved

01:36:09.000 nothing else, if nothing else, that violence does?

01:36:13.000 Well I guess the way I look at it is if the country burns down and there's no justice,

01:36:18.000 would you really call that working?

01:36:21.000 The system isn't working.

01:36:22.000 The benefit of the individual, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is failing.

01:36:26.000 I guess if you want to say in the political sense that they're getting what they want by being violent extremists, well, I guess the only reason that's happening is because good men do nothing.

01:36:37.000 Good people do nothing.

01:36:38.000 It's 21st century.

01:36:40.000 I'm thinking of it as a role-playing game.

01:36:42.000 If you want to play as the evil character and just destroy everyone and blow up all the buildings, you don't really get to enjoy the game.

01:36:47.000 There's no plot.

01:36:48.000 So it's harder to be the good guy, but much more, in my opinion, enjoyable and rewarding.

01:36:53.000 Yeah, much more nuanced.

01:36:54.000 We got one for Ian.

01:36:56.000 Kaiser C says, love you, Ian.

01:36:57.000 You make me laugh and think.

01:36:59.000 My super chat yesterday was a Hulk reference, but it sounded like a jab.

01:37:01.000 My apologies, also.

01:37:03.000 It's 40 degrees here in Minnesota.

01:37:05.000 It's too cold to riot.

01:37:07.000 That's a good point, though.

01:37:08.000 I'm glad to hear that.

01:37:09.000 The winner.

01:37:10.000 They came out too early.

01:37:12.000 Mind your sarcasm and text, my friend.

01:37:14.000 That's part of it, because sometimes you just can't read through that.

01:37:18.000 All right, IPO says, what you've been arguing for is exactly what Ayn Rand proposes in Atlas Shrugged.

01:37:23.000 You need to shrug off the weight and leave them to their chaos.

01:37:27.000 I know, I've been saying it.

01:37:28.000 The cops should all resign.

01:37:29.000 If they don't want you there, if they're going to put you in prison for being there, and no one is standing up for you, I think it's time to go.

01:37:38.000 But I'll tell you this, isn't there going to be a... Like, if I was a cop and I was going down, I'd quit right now and it would feel so good to do it.

01:37:46.000 A lot of them are but it's these people are gonna have a quick realization about what what it really means

01:37:52.000 Right when you don't have police there anymore It's it's and didn't we?

01:37:57.000 Didn't we see that the data of and polling of people wanted more? Yeah law enforcement in

01:38:03.000 African-american communities, right? Well, no, i'm sure it's all communities even the suburbs

01:38:09.000 We had $3 million worth of damage in a nice suburb of Illinois.

01:38:14.000 Nobody said anything.

01:38:15.000 Nobody stood up after the BLM riots.

01:38:18.000 Nothing.

01:38:19.000 What if, like, cops resigned and then Amazon police showed up that supported the riots and enforced the riots and made sure they were allowed to take place?

01:38:28.000 They voted for it!

01:38:30.000 I know, but what if there was no vote anymore?

01:38:31.000 Ian, if you come to me and say, I vote for you to hit me in the face, and I did, would I feel bad for you?

01:38:36.000 Like if you- Wait, wait, lie that out again for me.

01:38:38.000 If you, if you're like, hey Tim, I would like to vote that you, you know, throw a, 0.99

01:38:43.000 throw a, punch me in the face. And then I'm like, okay. And then I hit you and you start going, 0.99

01:38:47.000 ah, it hurts. It hurts so bad. Should I feel bad for you when you asked me to do this? 0.74

01:38:52.000 I don't think so.

01:38:54.000 They voted for Biden and Kamala Harris in Minnesota. Kamala Harris, who literally 1.00

01:38:59.000 solicited donations to bail the rioters out. If private police show up and start enforcing,

01:39:05.000 like helping the rioters, I'll be like, what do you want me to say? Am I supposed to-

01:39:09.000 Stop.

01:39:10.000 But they voted for it!

01:39:11.000 Say vote for better people.

01:39:13.000 I say that all the time, but bro, this is how the system works.

01:39:15.000 I mean, just because someone crapped in your river doesn't mean that that's just the way it's gonna be.

01:39:19.000 Like, you can fix it.

01:39:20.000 Dude, if people vote for something that is constitutional, to a certain degree, I guess, if a community says, we all want this thing, who are you to tell them they can't have it?

01:39:30.000 An American citizen.

01:39:31.000 Who are you to say they're not allowed?

01:39:33.000 That's autocracy.

01:39:35.000 If you think you can go in to a community and tell them to live the way you demand.

01:39:38.000 I think I can help convince them, but I'm not going to command it.

01:39:41.000 Sure.

01:39:41.000 So at a certain point of trying, don't you just say, dude, look, they really want their homes burned down.

01:39:46.000 Why am I going to tell them they can't have it?

01:39:47.000 That's like the apathy.

01:39:49.000 Whose epithet?

01:39:50.000 Theirs?

01:39:51.000 No, if you're like, eff it, dude.

01:39:53.000 Dude, if someone begs to have their home burned down, I'm gonna be like, okay, well... Yeah, but it's not that literal.

01:39:58.000 They voted for people they thought were gonna protect them.

01:40:00.000 They didn't realize... Or they didn't have better alternatives, which is what also happens in a lot of these big Democrat-run... You could have voted for Trump.

01:40:06.000 No, I didn't mean presidential.

01:40:08.000 I mean, even in a city like, say, Minneapolis or in Chicago, for example.

01:40:13.000 You don't have another side really standing firm or standing up and people to counter that.

01:40:20.000 They're like, well, I'm going to vote because these are the only people to vote for.

01:40:22.000 I somewhat disagree.

01:40:24.000 I mean, I get it in these heavy districts, but AOC had tons of competition that were moderate Democrats and Republicans and people still chose to vote for her. 0.98

01:40:32.000 So it's like, dude, if someone is begging to have their property destroyed, If Kamala Harris is like, I'm going to bail these people out.

01:40:32.000 Yeah.

01:40:41.000 I'll put it this way. 0.91

01:40:42.000 There's a guy standing outside my neighbor's house, holding a giant torch, yelling, I'm going to burn his house down.

01:40:47.000 And the guy goes, I don't think he'll burn my house down.

01:40:49.000 I'd like to let him in my home.

01:40:50.000 I'm going to be like, dude, I can't help you.

01:40:52.000 Yeah.

01:40:52.000 You know what I mean?

01:40:53.000 If it's that literal, okay.

01:40:54.000 Kamala Harris tweeted, send donations to bail these people out of jail.

01:40:59.000 Some very serious, violent offenders.

01:41:02.000 Donald Trump said, I want to stop the riots.

01:41:05.000 How did you miss that?

01:41:06.000 So listen, I think Ian you're making the mistake that the people of Minnesota disagree with what's happening

01:41:13.000 Because they're showing us otherwise from yes actually Yes, actions speak louder than words.

01:41:19.000 But I think you're making a mistake that you're assuming people read Twitter and follow Kamala's suggestion.

01:41:24.000 I don't think most people know that she did that.

01:41:26.000 I didn't say that at all.

01:41:26.000 I didn't say that.

01:41:27.000 I'm actually arguing that people did not pay attention in any capacity and then voted for the people who want to burn their homes down and there's nothing I can do to defend them when they vote for it.

01:41:35.000 They didn't know that they were helping the houses get burned down.

01:41:38.000 If they were like, burn my house down, then I wouldn't support them.

01:41:42.000 Let me ask you a question, Ian.

01:41:43.000 If a guy is sitting outside of a bank and he says, hey, can you hold this bag for me and come on inside?

01:41:48.000 And you say, sure.

01:41:49.000 And you walk in with the bank holding open a bag and then he robs the bank and puts the money in it.

01:41:53.000 And then you hand him the bag and you both run out together.

01:41:55.000 Guess who's going to prison?

01:41:57.000 Yes!

01:41:57.000 You!

01:41:58.000 Are you being complicit by not participating?

01:42:01.000 You're not going to be able to go to a judge and be like, I didn't know what the bag was for!

01:42:05.000 Should have put the bag over the guy's head.

01:42:07.000 Yeah, you could have done a lot.

01:42:08.000 No, I mean, look, hindsight is 20-20, but there's a guy robbing a bank, you're holding the bag, and you helped him do it.

01:42:13.000 Kamala Harris and Joe Biden were actively in support of the extremists.

01:42:16.000 Yes.

01:42:17.000 Now, Joe Biden did say violence is bad several times.

01:42:19.000 I can respect that.

01:42:20.000 But his own staff donated to bail out the rioters, and Kamala Harris directly solicited donations to do so.

01:42:27.000 I get it, these people aren't on Twitter or watching the news, but they're not informed when they go and vote, and they go and vote for people who want to burn their homes down.

01:42:33.000 You're making the assumption that they voted for someone to burn their house down, but now all of a sudden they don't want it to happen.

01:42:41.000 I kind of think they wanted this to happen.

01:42:43.000 I kind of think the people of Minneapolis like the riots and the protests.

01:42:47.000 Well, somebody needs to lay down the law.

01:42:50.000 If they don't like it, then do something about it.

01:42:53.000 There are protests happening, and the people of these cities are convinced they're peaceful protesters.

01:42:58.000 And they've watched it happen.

01:42:59.000 They watched these people go around outside.

01:43:01.000 I think most people in these places like what's happening.

01:43:04.000 I genuinely believe that.

01:43:05.000 So who am I to tell them how to live?

01:43:07.000 That's authoritarianism, man.

01:43:08.000 You vote for it, it's all yours.

01:43:10.000 I can't assume if they want it or don't want it.

01:43:10.000 I don't know.

01:43:12.000 I just, I don't want to escalate, I don't want to accelerate the problem, which is the dissolution of the police.

01:43:18.000 Let's try this another way.

01:43:20.000 A community has banned psychedelics.

01:43:23.000 Right?

01:43:24.000 You think they shouldn't do that.

01:43:26.000 You think they should live the way you want them to live?

01:43:30.000 That's authoritarianism.

01:43:31.000 Well, depending on how I go about enforcing that would be authoritarianism.

01:43:34.000 I would make a video to try and convince them to do it.

01:43:38.000 If they vote for it, will you respect their wishes?

01:43:40.000 Yeah.

01:43:41.000 Okay, then now respect their vote for Kamala Harris.

01:43:44.000 Yeah, I do.

01:43:45.000 I am not going to now say, this is why my position has become the police should leave.

01:43:50.000 The vote has happened.

01:43:52.000 The people have spoken.

01:43:53.000 They have voted for representatives who support the riots and the extremism.

01:43:57.000 At this point, the police, it is in the best interest for them, if they don't want to go to prison, and for the people who asked for it for them to leave.

01:44:05.000 Now, in my opinion, what'll happen is what we saw last time when they voted to abolish the police, the people of the city started freaking out and calling the city council, begging for cops to come back.

01:44:14.000 But dude, if you live in someone's house, and everyone is screaming, Ian, get out!

01:44:20.000 And then you look over at your one best friend who's like, I'm not gonna get involved, dude, because they're gonna yell at me.

01:44:25.000 And you're like, I'm not leaving, I'm gonna stay.

01:44:27.000 It's like, dude, you should leave.

01:44:29.000 And then it turns out you were the one who made the delicious bread everyone loved, and they're gonna be like, was that Ian making that bread?

01:44:33.000 Can we get Ian back?

01:44:35.000 You don't know what you got till it's gone.

01:44:36.000 I know there is a value to walking out on someone so that they appreciate you, because they don't know what they got till it's gone, but when you're talking about police law enforcement, it's not just an emotional, like, I wish they were here, it's like, people might die.

01:44:48.000 But you're skipping the first point of my argument.

01:44:50.000 If there's 10 people in the house, And four of them are really good friends with you, and six vote for you to get kicked out.

01:44:56.000 And the other three, including you, the other three are like, I know I really like that you're here, but I'm not gonna speak up because I don't want them getting mad at me.

01:45:04.000 Okay, then leave.

01:45:06.000 No one is asking you to stay, dude.

01:45:08.000 The cops are there.

01:45:10.000 Everyone is basically saying either get out or I won't.

01:45:13.000 I do not believe in you enough to support you.

01:45:15.000 That's the issue.

01:45:16.000 I don't know what everyone is thinking.

01:45:18.000 Look, there are clearly some people who are defending it.

01:45:21.000 And we're looking at social media.

01:45:22.000 We're seeing it through social media.

01:45:23.000 So it's hard to tell.

01:45:24.000 I'm just talking about vote numbers, dude.

01:45:26.000 Or they don't want to be a part of it because if they disagree, they're gonna be ostracized or bullied again back to the courage

01:45:35.000 thing right there nobody's kind of standing up and and saying no or

01:45:39.000 Yeah, that came up last night that If they're disorganized and start speaking out one by one

01:45:45.000 the mob will come for them one by one Right.

01:45:48.000 We got a super chat here from the one free man.

01:45:50.000 He says, I hope the police turn their backs on the riots tonight.

01:45:53.000 Let it all burn.

01:45:54.000 That's what the mob wants. 0.93

01:45:55.000 This wasn't justice.

01:45:56.000 This was a sacrifice.

01:45:58.000 I'm just saying this, man.

01:46:00.000 If the people say, Ian, would you please leave?

01:46:03.000 Who are you to say no?

01:46:05.000 I would leave.

01:46:06.000 They voted to abolish the police.

01:46:08.000 They voted for Kamala Harris.

01:46:09.000 And the cops are still there like, I'm not going anywhere.

01:46:12.000 Well now Kim Potter gets to go to prison next. 1.00

01:46:14.000 Who's next?

01:46:15.000 It's going to be some 28-year-old cop who just got out of the academy or whatever.

01:46:18.000 And he's going to be driving his car.

01:46:20.000 And then someone's going to cut him off.

01:46:21.000 He's going to crash and hit somebody. 0.99

01:46:23.000 And they're going to pull him out of his car and they're going to beat him to death. 0.99

01:46:25.000 Or some other extreme psychopathic crime.

01:46:27.000 If this was a video game and I could reload my save game, yeah, I would do that.

01:46:31.000 Get rid of the police, watch them all suffer, and then laugh about it, and then reload my game so that people aren't suffering anymore, but I don't want it to devolve into anarchy.

01:46:39.000 Ian, we're not laughing at them.

01:46:40.000 We're definitely not, and my heart 100% goes out to the people who will be suffering because of this, but Tim's right.

01:46:47.000 This is something that they voted for.

01:46:49.000 If they didn't know that Kamala Harris tried to get these people out of prison, that's their fault.

01:46:53.000 You are supposed to do your homework before you vote.

01:46:55.000 I sure did.

01:46:56.000 Like, I was paying attention.

01:46:57.000 I was plugged in.

01:46:58.000 Everybody should be.

01:47:00.000 In the same way with any of these Maxine Waters, I mean, these people, their comments matter.

01:47:06.000 And if on a conservative side, if our comments matter, then they've said worse things.

01:47:16.000 Somebody needs to be held accountable at the end of the day.

01:47:19.000 And it goes back to voting.

01:47:21.000 And you're going to vote for someone like Kamala Harris and understand that voting has consequences.

01:47:27.000 I view the cops that remain as scabs.

01:47:29.000 You know what scabs are?

01:47:30.000 Yeah, those are the people that, if a union goes on strike, they'll hire, like, random people to fill the jobs, and those are called scabs. 0.60

01:47:37.000 So a lot of good cops left.

01:47:38.000 Because, for one, many of them know when they're not wanted.

01:47:41.000 Many of them don't want to be the next sacrificial lamb for the cult of wokeness.

01:47:46.000 And many of them are like, if this is what you want, then you can have it.

01:47:51.000 But there's a bunch of them who are like, it's a paycheck.

01:47:53.000 I'll be fine.

01:47:55.000 I will prop up a system of psychotic behavior and destruction and violence and make sure that people don't, you know, don't realize what's going on.

01:48:03.000 I'll be a part of that system.

01:48:04.000 To me, that's insanity.

01:48:06.000 You get this Kim Potter woman and this guy with aggravated robbery, armed with a weapon, and she shot him, and now she gets to go to prison for it.

01:48:16.000 They are telling police officers in no uncertain terms if you try to make an arrest and a mistake happens.

01:48:25.000 It's felony assault and murder.

01:48:27.000 So how long until the next dopey Minnesota cop who thinks he'll be fine is arresting someone and then that person starts screaming and shouting and fighting, literally resisting arrest, and then trips and falls, hits his head and dies? 0.69

01:48:42.000 And then that cop gets to go to prison! 0.88

01:48:43.000 Hey! 0.99

01:48:44.000 So all these cops, look man, I'll put it this way.

01:48:46.000 By all means, all the cops there can stay.

01:48:48.000 Who am I to judge?

01:48:49.000 But I will not be defending any of them in any capacity when they're the next to line up for prison.

01:48:54.000 I'll laugh, honestly.

01:48:56.000 I will defend them.

01:48:57.000 If they were like a rioter was throwing a brick through a window and a cop grabbed him and then he tripped and fell and broke his head and then died and the cop is on trial, I would defend that cop.

01:49:06.000 I would defend the principal, or the individual, to an extent.

01:49:12.000 If you are standing there watching this happen and you think you will be fine, Let me tell you a joke, Ian.

01:49:20.000 Religious joke. 1.00

01:49:22.000 There's a guy in his house.

01:49:23.000 I love this one.

01:49:24.000 And he's watching the news and they say, dangerous storm is coming.

01:49:27.000 Get out while you still can.

01:49:29.000 And then the rain starts pouring very, very heavily.

01:49:32.000 And then all of a sudden, he's sitting there watching.

01:49:35.000 And so he thinks to himself, I'll be fine.

01:49:38.000 If anything bad happens, the Lord will save me.

01:49:41.000 And then all of a sudden, you know, a car pulls up, they come to his door, they bang on the door, and they're like, you gotta get out of here!

01:49:45.000 Quick, get in the car! 0.98

01:49:46.000 The storm's coming, the flood's... No, no, no!

01:49:48.000 The Lord will save me. 0.99

01:49:49.000 And the guy says, no, are you nuts? 0.98

01:49:51.000 Come on, get in the car! 0.98

01:49:51.000 And he's like, I'm gonna be fine. 0.98

01:49:53.000 I know my faith in the Lord will save me.

01:49:56.000 And so they're like, alright, and they get in the car and they leave.

01:49:58.000 The water rises.

01:49:59.000 His first floor begins flooding, so he runs upstairs.

01:50:01.000 Next, a boat pulls up to his window.

01:50:03.000 Quick! 1.00

01:50:04.000 Get out of the house! 0.97

01:50:05.000 The flood's getting too bad!

01:50:05.000 We're evacuating!

01:50:06.000 And he goes, no!

01:50:08.000 I have faith in the Lord!

01:50:08.000 The Lord will save me!

01:50:10.000 No!

01:50:11.000 Come on! 0.61

01:50:11.000 You can't stay here! 0.61

01:50:12.000 You'll drown!

01:50:13.000 I have faith in the Lord.

01:50:13.000 No!

01:50:14.000 The boat leaves.

01:50:15.000 The waters rise.

01:50:16.000 He climbs onto his roof.

01:50:18.000 A helicopter flies over.

01:50:19.000 A guy comes out of the air.

01:50:20.000 Quick! 1.00

01:50:21.000 We're getting you out of here!

01:50:21.000 Climb on!

01:50:22.000 He goes, I have faith that the Lord will save me.

01:50:24.000 Argues with the helicopter guy. 0.88

01:50:26.000 The guys are like, are you crazy? 0.97

01:50:27.000 Come on! 0.90

01:50:28.000 Finally, they leave.

01:50:29.000 He refuses.

01:50:30.000 He drowns.

01:50:30.000 The waters rise.

01:50:32.000 Finds himself in heaven and he's confused and exasperated.

01:50:35.000 And then he finally gets to meet God and he says, I believed in you.

01:50:39.000 I had faith in you.

01:50:40.000 Why didn't you save me?

01:50:41.000 And he goes, I sent you a car, a boat and a helicopter.

01:50:43.000 What do you expect of me?

01:50:45.000 That's the way I view it.

01:50:46.000 It's like, you have these people who are literally being shown the door every step of the way and they know exactly what's coming if they stay in the floodwaters.

01:50:53.000 Sorry, dude.

01:50:55.000 I spoke out on your behalf.

01:50:56.000 I defended you during the trial.

01:50:58.000 I defended the individual officers.

01:51:00.000 At a certain point, what do you expect of me?

01:51:02.000 I'm not gonna sit here all day every day saying, oh no, the poor officers who know exactly what is going on with the rising floodwaters stayed in the sinking building.

01:51:10.000 But what's the alternative?

01:51:11.000 They leave and give the people what they voted for and asked for.

01:51:15.000 And it's sad that it has to come down to them having, you know, a lot of these cops, they wake up every day because they wanted to be public servants and they have these jobs and they wanted to kind of serve something greater, right?

01:51:28.000 And they have to make the choice to resign or leave or not want to be involved.

01:51:35.000 How many kids you know wake up when they're eight years old and they're like I want to be a cop someday and now they don't even want to pursue that path because of all that's happening and I empathize.

01:51:47.000 Sure.

01:51:48.000 I mean I totally see obviously where you're coming from from a principal standpoint but then also that it's sad that it's gotten to that point where those people have to make that choice.

01:51:57.000 Yeah.

01:51:57.000 I don't even think there's a compromise in blue flu.

01:52:00.000 You know, blue flu is when all the cops call in sick.

01:52:03.000 That's a couple days.

01:52:05.000 The state just convicted Derek Chauvin.

01:52:09.000 The state does not care if you call in sick for a few days.

01:52:13.000 The state will panic when there's no cops to protect them.

01:52:16.000 We got a super chat here from Matt Volker.

01:52:18.000 He says, every high profile person I see calling for defunding the police have access to private security.

01:52:23.000 Even the Minnesota reps who demanded the defunding. 0.62

01:52:26.000 When the cops are gone, there'll be no one to protect the government buildings.

01:52:30.000 And then you'll see the state start sweating bullets.

01:52:32.000 They'll hire Blackwater.

01:52:33.000 Maybe.

01:52:34.000 Yeah, they would hire private police and then we'd- Bro, at a certain point- We don't want mercenaries roaming the streets.

01:52:39.000 You're like trying to prop up a broken system.

01:52:43.000 It's not even- Well, the system's busted for sure.

01:52:45.000 And so why do you keep advocating for something to keep it staying?

01:52:49.000 I'm saying, dude, give the people what they voted for.

01:52:53.000 Stop trying to impose your will on them!

01:52:56.000 If the Minnesota police resign, then you would see police all over the country resigning.

01:53:02.000 That'd be my fear.

01:53:03.000 And then you'd see governments hiring private military contractors to fill the space.

01:53:07.000 And you'd see people getting their heads crushed in on the street.

01:53:10.000 And no one to answer to.

01:53:13.000 If you want to live in a giant concrete block with small cubicles stacked on top of each other and everything smells like sour milk, you can do that if you'd like.

01:53:21.000 And if you want to vote to disarm yourself, you can do that if you'd like.

01:53:25.000 For me, once it happens around me, I choose to leave.

01:53:28.000 As the riots were expanding in the Philadelphia area, and the gun laws were restrictive, and it was very difficult to protect myself, I said, I'd better not be here.

01:53:35.000 Because now the National Guard, a thousand, have been called into Philadelphia.

01:53:39.000 Was not smart to stick around.

01:53:40.000 That's true for any resident of any one of these cities.

01:53:42.000 You choose what you want to do.

01:53:43.000 If these cops all start resigning, I'm not worried about black water showing up in cities. 1.00

01:53:47.000 We have a Second Amendment. 0.98

01:53:49.000 The people who are standing up and sitting on principle probably aren't all that worried all that much either.

01:53:54.000 The people who are staying in these cities and are giving their tax dollars to prop the system up, at a certain point, I can offer you a car, a boat, and a helicopter, and if you don't take it, what do you expect of me?

01:54:03.000 You keep advocating for some way to prop the system up, to keep it in place.

01:54:09.000 No, I'm just saying don't rip it down.

01:54:11.000 I'm not saying rip it down.

01:54:12.000 By encouraging the cops to all resign.

01:54:14.000 I'm saying it is not my will to be done if the people of this state said abolish the police, and they did. 1.00

01:54:22.000 Yeah, but that's like a small minority of vocal idiots. 1.00

01:54:25.000 The state voted blue, dude! 1.00

01:54:26.000 Some people did.

01:54:28.000 But not everybody.

01:54:29.000 And I'm all about fixing cities.

01:54:31.000 I'm all about fixing the system by creating lots of small cities with magnetic rails and small communities.

01:54:37.000 But I don't think just destroying it right now, faster, should prove a point.

01:54:41.000 Who said that?

01:54:42.000 Who said that?

01:54:42.000 You're saying, tell the cops to resign so that there's chaos.

01:54:44.000 What you don't understand, Ian, is that you think people should live the way you want them to live.

01:54:48.000 No, no.

01:54:49.000 Okay, so did the people vote for Kamala Harris?

01:54:51.000 Some of them.

01:54:52.000 Do elections have consequences?

01:54:54.000 Yeah.

01:54:55.000 Should they have been responsible and known what they are voting for?

01:54:58.000 Well... Did the city council members vote to abolish the police?

01:55:01.000 Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

01:55:02.000 No, no, should they have known what they're voting for?

01:55:04.000 No, that's not the way the system works.

01:55:04.000 You don't need to know who you're voting for.

01:55:05.000 You don't need to know the consequences.

01:55:07.000 You can vote for whoever you want.

01:55:08.000 That's part of being American.

01:55:09.000 Okay, if you don't know that you're holding a blowtorch and you burn your house down, what do you expect of me?

01:55:16.000 If you, if the City Council literally voted to abolish the police, the police should say, okay, I'm out.

01:55:23.000 Give the people what they're voting for.

01:55:25.000 Stop acting like they should live by your rules, Ian.

01:55:28.000 I'm not suggesting that.

01:55:30.000 No one's voted to abolish those police right now.

01:55:32.000 Yes, they did.

01:55:33.000 The police of Minnesota?

01:55:34.000 Yes, they did.

01:55:36.000 Who voted for that and why?

01:55:36.000 The City Council last year voted to abolish the Minneapolis Police Department.

01:55:39.000 Last year, not yesterday.

01:55:41.000 Last year, and then a bunch of cops resigned, and now they're in a desperate recruiting drive.

01:55:45.000 The city council was elected by people who voted for them.

01:55:50.000 They wanted this.

01:55:51.000 But they saw it didn't work, so then they hired new police.

01:55:54.000 Well, they probably were getting backlash by the constituents, because then the constituents are like, well, what is going on here?

01:56:01.000 My city council that I voted for voted to abolish the police?

01:56:05.000 Crime was skyrocketing.

01:56:07.000 People started calling in the city council members, and the council members started then changing their tune, and the police department was never formally abolished.

01:56:13.000 They then said, okay, we need to hire more police.

01:56:15.000 Now the governor has declared a state of emergency.

01:56:17.000 They're bringing in cops from, I think, Nebraska and Ohio, and spending nine million dollars because they're desperate.

01:56:23.000 Like the one super chat said, the cops should turn their backs.

01:56:26.000 I'm not even necessarily saying that, because that's one way to put it.

01:56:28.000 I'm saying, At a certain point, it is incumbent upon the officer or any individual to say, I know what I'm not wanted and they voted for me to leave.

01:56:38.000 Stop trying to force your will on other people.

01:56:41.000 Oh, no, no, no.

01:56:42.000 That's not a fair statement.

01:56:43.000 Well, and it's also government... Because it was like two different conversations wrapped into one.

01:56:47.000 What?

01:56:48.000 Telling me to not force my will on other people had nothing to do with... Did they vote for Kamala Harris?

01:56:53.000 They didn't vote for the police to resign.

01:56:55.000 No one did that.

01:56:57.000 Ian, they voted for city council members.

01:56:59.000 They did it a year ago and realized they made a mistake and then tried to rectify it.

01:57:02.000 It was like six months, seven months ago.

01:57:05.000 I'm sorry to interrupt you there, Kelly.

01:57:06.000 No, you're fine.

01:57:07.000 Let's read some more Super Chats. 0.91

01:57:08.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:57:08.000 What were you going to say?

01:57:10.000 I forgot.

01:57:11.000 Whatever.

01:57:11.000 This is hot.

01:57:12.000 I'm hot.

01:57:13.000 All right.

01:57:14.000 Han says, I hope people understand when politicians call for abolishing police, they really mean replacing the police with the military so the federal government can control all the states.

01:57:22.000 This is their plan.

01:57:24.000 Interesting.

01:57:24.000 Now they're talking about social workers.

01:57:28.000 They want social workers. 0.86

01:57:31.000 Stanley says police are not just responsible for themselves and the person they're arresting, but also for the people around them on a busy street when a possibly violent person is around a load of civilians.

01:57:40.000 That's right. You know what, man? I'm just at a point where it's like cops are not doctors,

01:57:46.000 cops are not marksmen, cops are not Brazilian jiu-jitsu experts,

01:57:50.000 cops are not psychologists trained in de-escalation. They have some minimal

01:57:53.000 training in all of these different areas a little bit. They get certified for their gun,

01:57:57.000 they have basic first aid, they know some de-escalation techniques.

01:58:00.000 The people are asking for too much.

01:58:04.000 At a certain point, I'm just... You know what?

01:58:06.000 I'll put it this way.

01:58:06.000 I don't care what they do.

01:58:07.000 I really don't.

01:58:08.000 But I'm gonna tell you this.

01:58:09.000 The next cop that gets arrested and charged with murder because they're trying to arrest somebody, you think I'm gonna defend them?

01:58:13.000 I got a good metaphor.

01:58:14.000 If a guy falls off his bike and comes in busted leg, I will triage him.

01:58:18.000 And then if I see him next week, he comes back in with a... He broke his leg again.

01:58:22.000 I would triage him again.

01:58:24.000 Next week, same thing.

01:58:25.000 I would triage him again.

01:58:26.000 And again.

01:58:27.000 And again.

01:58:28.000 Forever.

01:58:28.000 Because that is my job.

01:58:30.000 And that's how I feel right now with this situation.

01:58:33.000 The difference is the person who broke his leg walks in and you treat him.

01:58:37.000 Then the next time he walks in, everyone else who's inside and injured saying, no, no, no, stop treating that guy because I was here first.

01:58:43.000 You should treat me.

01:58:43.000 And you go, no, I'm going to treat him instead.

01:58:45.000 Good point.

01:58:46.000 I don't care what anyone else thinks.

01:58:47.000 If he's clogging up the system, then that's a system that you got to consider that.

01:58:52.000 How about this?

01:58:53.000 The guy comes in with a busted leg, and everyone starts screaming at you to stop treating him.

01:58:57.000 Right. 0.74

01:58:57.000 And you tell them to shut up. 0.74

01:58:58.000 No, they stop. 1.00

01:58:59.000 They're screaming at him to stop falling off your butt. 1.00

01:59:01.000 No, no, no. 1.00

01:59:01.000 They're screaming at you. 1.00

01:59:02.000 You're the doctor.

01:59:02.000 You're the one providing the public service.

01:59:04.000 And the person keeps getting hurt.

01:59:05.000 And no matter how many times the people tell you to send him away, you're like, nah.

01:59:09.000 No, because that's for a Hippocratic Oath.

01:59:11.000 They have to treat the injured.

01:59:12.000 Come on, dude.

01:59:13.000 That makes no sense.

01:59:14.000 No, that's exactly what the doctors are there for.

01:59:16.000 But we're talking about police.

01:59:18.000 Black Czar says, in fact, they supported an oath of the Constitution. 0.99

01:59:21.000 Black Czar says, the masses not supporting the police doesn't mean the police disappear.

01:59:25.000 Eastern Europe has police everywhere, everyone there hates. 0.98

01:59:30.000 South America has police, everyone there hates, etc.

01:59:33.000 They are simply federalized as an unaccountable, as our own FBI, our future.

01:59:39.000 YT Stuff says, the judge should have had Waters, Biden, and all other elected officials who voiced an opinion arrested for perjury.

01:59:46.000 He asked them to stay silent, but they ignored him. 0.89

01:59:48.000 No respect and totally corrupt.

01:59:49.000 That's not what perjury is.

01:59:50.000 Perjury is when you lie under oath.

01:59:52.000 Contempt, maybe, but I don't think he has the authority to do that, so. 1.00

01:59:57.000 Sonny James says Army recruits even more stupid than cops. 1.00

02:00:01.000 If you can't defend your own land or self, what are you defending? 1.00

02:00:04.000 I call it Jake Gardner Paradox.

02:00:06.000 Sacrifice for a country that won't defend your civil liberties?

02:00:09.000 Or don't you?

02:00:10.000 Did he sign the contract?

02:00:12.000 Did he sign that contract?

02:00:15.000 Josiah Magnuson says, Can we all be honest and admit that Philip DeFranco is not an objective news source anymore?

02:00:21.000 I don't really watch Philip DeFranco stuff.

02:00:24.000 My opinion of him now is that he probably just hired someone to do all the news reporting for him, and he probably just reads the copy.

02:00:31.000 Like, I don't see him as somebody who actually reads the news.

02:00:34.000 He always struck me as entertainer first.

02:00:36.000 I've known him since 2006, when he was Sexy Phil.

02:00:40.000 S-X-E Phil.

02:00:42.000 McCarthy86 says, Lauf means run in German.

02:00:45.000 Great name for when you're running for Congress.

02:00:47.000 Laufen.

02:00:48.000 In my Swiss dialect, it's Luf.

02:00:53.000 DragonLady says, Tim's right.

02:00:54.000 My ex was a cop.

02:00:55.000 He came home one day and cried in my arms for hours because he almost shot a 16-year-old who refused to drop what looked like a gun.

02:01:01.000 We don't hear those stories.

02:01:03.000 Awful.

02:01:04.000 Yeah.

02:01:06.000 DanN says, cops are not criminals.

02:01:09.000 Yeah, no. 0.97

02:01:10.000 Joey Martina says defund the police and the ATF is screwed.

02:01:13.000 The government will screech to a halt.

02:01:15.000 What the squad doesn't understand is some of us were built for war.

02:01:18.000 Ian, welcome to America, bro.

02:01:19.000 Law and order is such a great idea and there are many shows about it.

02:01:23.000 Yeah, Law & Order.

02:01:25.000 That's a great show.

02:01:27.000 They're doing a new one with Chris Maloney.

02:01:29.000 Oh, really?

02:01:29.000 Yeah, it's Organized Crime.

02:01:31.000 I'm excited for that.

02:01:31.000 Sounds fun.

02:01:32.000 I'm surprised Law & Order hasn't been kicked off of- Cancelled.

02:01:36.000 Yeah, cancelled.

02:01:37.000 Right.

02:01:38.000 I mean, have you ever seen SVU?

02:01:40.000 Yeah.

02:01:41.000 Stabler, Chris Maloney's character, is like a bad cop.

02:01:45.000 He's not a good cop.

02:01:46.000 He's a good dude.

02:01:47.000 You can understand him that he wants to do good, but he like routinely violates people's rights in that show.

02:01:52.000 It's a brutal show.

02:01:55.000 Wandering Mage says, Tim, I agree with you about moving away from cities.

02:01:58.000 I disagree with the idea that people can't afford to.

02:02:01.000 Be like these migrants. 1.00

02:02:02.000 Better to be poor in a place safe from riots and gangs and find a new life.

02:02:06.000 I think the goal is to replace cops with feds. 0.87

02:02:07.000 That's what a lot of people are saying.

02:02:10.000 Probably gonna happen.

02:02:11.000 All right.

02:02:12.000 Colt Seaman says, through all of this BS with the trial and the hypocrisy of the left, my dad realized that him and Ian had the same button up shirt.

02:02:19.000 Looking stylish, everyone.

02:02:20.000 And did you hear YouTube CEO Susan won a free speech award?

02:02:23.000 She won it from an organization she sponsored.

02:02:26.000 So.

02:02:26.000 We didn't mention that last night.

02:02:28.000 I'd like to give a special shout out to your dad.

02:02:29.000 For having a great taste in shirts.

02:02:31.000 I think this is a gift from Tim or something.

02:02:33.000 That shirt showed up in my closet someday.

02:02:35.000 I don't know.

02:02:36.000 It was a gift.

02:02:36.000 Not for me.

02:02:38.000 Magical shirt.

02:02:40.000 Del Fuego says, do any of you guys have any recommendations on audio books about US history?

02:02:45.000 Love you all, especially Ian.

02:02:46.000 Oh, that's great.

02:02:47.000 I love Dan Carlin.

02:02:49.000 He's not an audio book.

02:02:50.000 He's a podcast.

02:02:51.000 He's fantastic.

02:02:52.000 Oh, The Great War.

02:02:54.000 It's not really US history.

02:02:55.000 There's a YouTube channel called The Great War.

02:02:57.000 And it was like the 100 year anniversary of the World War I. And they go every week, they would make a video about what happened that week.

02:03:04.000 Very cool.

02:03:05.000 Oh, that's really cool.

02:03:06.000 It's not at all American history.

02:03:09.000 All right.

02:03:09.000 Ash Janova says, thanks Catalina for pointing out the hypocrisy of those who refuse to acknowledge what officers go through.

02:03:14.000 You can have issues with policing and want reform without dehumanizing an entire profession.

02:03:19.000 Yeah.

02:03:20.000 It's true.

02:03:21.000 I mean, it's sad.

02:03:23.000 All right.

02:03:24.000 AngryWaffle2 says, I want to say the jury is cowards, but I'm also sitting on 19k doge still on Robinhood because I don't want to close my account and be inconvenienced.

02:03:33.000 I'm also trying to avoid short term gains tax though.

02:03:36.000 Oh, there you go.

02:03:40.000 Handyman says the jurors were chosen, but not for their heroism, Tim.

02:03:44.000 That's true.

02:03:45.000 I see that.

02:03:46.000 Yep.

02:03:49.000 Team and Ontario says, Ian and Tim, do you two ever play golf?

02:03:52.000 Disc golf more specifically.

02:03:54.000 Whatever land you have may be a fun disc golf course and order.

02:03:57.000 Yeah, we should set that up.

02:03:58.000 I would do that.

02:03:59.000 That'd be fun.

02:04:01.000 Yeah, we should build that.

02:04:02.000 That's a great idea.

02:04:04.000 Blake Lehram says, as a country, we need an influx of young, principled and energetic politicians to move the country forward.

02:04:10.000 There are too many lifelong politicians that keep getting elected for no apparent reason.

02:04:13.000 It seems Catalina is a step in the right direction.

02:04:16.000 Oh, thank you.

02:04:17.000 On both sides.

02:04:18.000 What do you think about term limits?

02:04:19.000 Oh, gosh.

02:04:20.000 Huge proponent term limits.

02:04:22.000 And somebody needs to actually have a backbone and push it through and champion it because I think that's a big problem.

02:04:30.000 We have too many people on both sides of the aisle that have been there for way too long.

02:04:34.000 I mean, you're a career politician.

02:04:37.000 Why do you have a career out of this?

02:04:39.000 Go do something else.

02:04:40.000 Let other people step up and solve problems and, you know, It's mind-blowing to me why people are in office for 30 years and we're all okay and just sit around and are like, oh, this is fine.

02:04:53.000 Keep voting for them.

02:04:55.000 We got a decent super chat from somebody who is criticizing me, but giving me lots of money.

02:05:00.000 So thank you. 1.00

02:05:01.000 It says, you're an idiot, Tim. 1.00

02:05:03.000 You don't know what us Minnesotans, most not in the greater nine county metro area, don't live in. 1.00

02:05:07.000 We're trying.

02:05:08.000 Especially us first responders.

02:05:10.000 They're 51% vote for everything.

02:05:13.000 The rest of us are trying to fix things.

02:05:16.000 Yeah.

02:05:16.000 I can see it.

02:05:19.000 You're not an idiot, Tim. 0.99

02:05:21.000 Well, people are allowed to criticize me. 1.00

02:05:22.000 It's true.

02:05:22.000 Salty Kraken says, and I will read those, Tim, you're advocating for what the left wants.

02:05:26.000 Demoralization, then destabilization.

02:05:29.000 If the cops leave, it becomes a cascading failure and Marxists win.

02:05:32.000 I do not believe so.

02:05:34.000 I believe if they keep waiting, then the regular people become demoralized, thinking the police are ineffective and can't get anything done, when in fact it's the DAs.

02:05:42.000 If the police leave very, very quickly, it'll be a shock to the system that will force people to be like, whoa!

02:05:48.000 So what's going to happen is there's going to be a very, very long drawn out period, which we're in, where the police refuse to walk away.

02:05:56.000 And then the people will be like, the cops are here though, and everything's getting worse.

02:06:03.000 And then there's nothing.

02:06:04.000 Then within a year, the cops are just considered nothing, get disbanded.

02:06:08.000 I also wonder, from an internal political leadership perspective too, what do the higher-ups say in these situations?

02:06:17.000 Are they, I wouldn't necessarily say this particular case, but across the country, How are they either advocating for their officers or not advocating and trying to kind of save face in a lot of ways too from a PR perspective?

02:06:34.000 I think that's another angle that people kind of miss as well.

02:06:38.000 That's a good point.

02:06:39.000 I'm concerned that what's going to end up happening is that each cop is going to face an instance like this and they're just going to be dragged out and like tarred and feathered just like Chauvin was and it's going to have to be on a case-by-case basis if they don't quit en masse like this.

02:06:52.000 Here, here.

02:06:52.000 I agree.

02:06:52.000 says Tim you are wrong not everyone voted for these clowns all the citizens have rights not just the

02:06:58.000 majority here here I agree but I I think at a certain point like I've said if your house is on

02:07:06.000 fire I don't know they yeah I think your shock to the system is an interesting concept.

02:07:14.000 It's frogs boiling.

02:07:16.000 If the fire turns up to 10, the frogs immediately get shocked and jump out of the water.

02:07:20.000 If they sit there as the water slowly boils, they just die.

02:07:23.000 Because they don't realize the temperature is increasing.

02:07:26.000 Yeah, I don't know.

02:07:28.000 Alan Jin says, Ian always has this problem.

02:07:30.000 He wants people to live how he wants, but then he gets mad and acts like he is some free thinker when you call him on it.

02:07:35.000 Ian, you're a stone authoritarian.

02:07:37.000 Recognize this.

02:07:39.000 I like that conversation, actually, because if I am, I need to see that.

02:07:45.000 But Max Henry says, I agree with Ian.

02:07:47.000 What Tim is describing is tyranny of the majority.

02:07:50.000 A community should not be able to restrict the rights of the individual.

02:07:53.000 I agree with that.

02:07:54.000 Interesting.

02:07:57.000 Okay, I can't read.

02:07:59.000 Zoolickle says, do you ever call the cable company to tell them that they're doing a good job or just when they mess up?

02:08:05.000 Now do police.

02:08:06.000 Keep up the good work, TimCastCrew.

02:08:08.000 That's the same everywhere.

02:08:10.000 I try to leave good reviews.

02:08:11.000 Yeah, it's like Yelp.

02:08:13.000 A lot of people see negative comments and not enough good ones.

02:08:19.000 We'll take a couple more, but this is a good one.

02:08:20.000 Waffle Sensei says, Tim is defending these cops, but you can't do it all the same way over and over and over again.

02:08:26.000 Gotta get a little punk rock about it.

02:08:28.000 Give them what they ask for and be there to help when they get exactly that.

02:08:32.000 When I tweeted, all the cops should resign, a bunch of conservatives and leftists retweeted it.

02:08:38.000 The leftists were like, yeah, all the cops should quit.

02:08:41.000 And the conservatives were saying, yeah, they should quit to show the, you know, to give the people what they've asked for.

02:08:46.000 I'm not saying the cops should resign in disgrace.

02:08:49.000 I'm saying they should resign in defiance of a community of political leaders who would sacrifice them to the woke mob while also demanding they sacrifice their lives in the line of duty.

02:09:01.000 These cops go out there, expected, as I said, to be doctors, to be psychologists, to be jiu-jitsu experts.

02:09:08.000 They risk dying when a guy in a car is wanted for aggravated robbery and has a gun.

02:09:14.000 That cop's going to jail now.

02:09:16.000 She's locked up already. 1.00

02:09:17.000 Manslaughter charge.

02:09:18.000 Because a guy who was wanted on an aggravated robbery charge with a gun jumped in his car resisting arrest.

02:09:25.000 So the politicians go, officer, you might die.

02:09:28.000 There's not the greatest risk of all professions.

02:09:30.000 I think oil, petroleum engineers have a higher risk of death.

02:09:33.000 But it's a scary job.

02:09:34.000 Now we're also asking that in the event you do fear for your life, We're gonna put you in prison.

02:09:39.000 How does that sound?

02:09:41.000 Regarding the girl that shot the dude on the gun chart that was wanted for aggravated murder or aggravated assault, aren't they supposed... If a guy is resisting arrest, jumps in his car and turns to the... Aren't they supposed to shoot to kill in that point?

02:09:56.000 They're entitled to.

02:09:57.000 There's arguments that...

02:10:00.000 Exactly.

02:10:01.000 Because the politicians expect the police to be everything all at once and to be the scapegoat for their problems.

02:10:08.000 I think a lot of it, too, though, is it's about the divide.

02:10:15.000 I mean, this is all also about I mean, think about how many other situations that these are, again, very complex.

02:10:21.000 Think about all these other situations that happen.

02:10:23.000 But why was this one?

02:10:26.000 On a mass scale, publicized, and then the left, Biden, Maxine Waters, again, back to that point, why this case?

02:10:37.000 And it goes into this kind of, I think, greater division tool.

02:10:45.000 And that's actually, I think, a little bit more, I think that's the scary part, is this Public pressure and politicization of everything for a higher purpose of ultimate division.

02:11:03.000 It empowered people politically.

02:11:05.000 That's what it's about.

02:11:05.000 All right, let's do one more Super Chat.

02:11:07.000 We got Lumberjack Daryl says, This is for you, Ian.

02:13:04.000 We bought the chicken nipple water thing that someone recommended.

02:13:08.000 Very, very great recommendation.

02:13:10.000 And I was amazed because right now they're pullets.

02:13:13.000 They're very young.

02:13:15.000 And they immediately walked up and just knew how to do it.

02:13:17.000 I was shocked by that.

02:13:19.000 Yeah, so there's like this little piece of metal that when you push it in, the water can come out.

02:13:23.000 And they walked right up and started pecking at it and getting the water.

02:13:25.000 I was like, how do they know that?

02:13:27.000 Natural law.

02:13:28.000 It's designed that way, I suppose.

02:13:30.000 Yeah, well, it has to be super simple so that chickens can use it. 0.91
