On this episode of SURVIVAL, we talk about the verdict in the Floyd Mayweather v Manny Pacquiao case. We also hear from former Trump staffer and current candidate for Congress in Illinois 16th, Catalina Love, who is running against Adam Kinzinger.
00:01:12.000When 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.
00:01:17.000And the judge came in and he read the verdict on the count of murder in the second degree, guilty.
00:03:02.000And, and it's been a great, great run so far.
00:03:04.000A 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.
00:03:15.000So we're really excited and we've had a ton of energy and support and we can't wait.
00:03:20.000Well, we'll, we'll, we'll talk all about it.
00:03:54.000Alright, before we get into the big story, we have a sponsor today and I'm eternally grateful to Virtual Shield.

00:07:13.000So I'm sitting here like, why is the prosecution showing George Floyd actively resisting and a bystander saying stop resisting?
00:07:20.000So 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.
00:07:43.000I'm not interested in defending the state or police institutions as a whole.
00:07:47.000My interest is in the individual Derek Chauvin and his rights.
00:07:52.000And 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.
00:08:31.000But Chauvin is acting as per the rules of the police department.
00:08:35.000Arrest somebody if they commit a crime.
00:08:36.000If they resist arrest, here's the force you can use.
00:08:39.000I don't see how throwing one man under the bus is gonna solve any of these problems.
00:08:43.000And 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.
00:08:54.000I think I agree with Obama that it was not justice.
00:09:18.000Well, think about everything that led up to all this.
00:09:21.000I 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.
00:09:37.000This was obviously incredibly politicized.
00:09:39.000And 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.
00:09:59.000And then on top of that, all this civil unrest that's kind of really creating this this pressure.
00:10:04.000It really is concerning on who is choosing You know, is this going to happen a lot?
00:10:14.000I mean, when does it, when does the the rioting and the everything that led up to this, when does it end?
00:10:22.000You know the one, they say, you know, what, God closes a door, he opens a window?
00:10:27.000The one thing I can see is I think the Second Amendment's about to get a whole lot stronger.
00:10:31.000If these people are going to go out and riot, I really don't see why they would not.
00:10:34.000Because you have the Dante Wright incident as well.
00:10:36.000So they're not going to be satisfied with just this.
00:11:00.000I'm like, why is she- why is anyone surprised this is happening to her?
00:11:03.000I 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.
00:11:12.000But 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.
00:11:22.000You expect to get passed through this?
00:11:31.000We'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.
00:12:07.000I 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.
00:12:47.000At 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.
00:12:58.000So, 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.
00:13:13.000Now you can whisper it to your friends, it ain't enough.
00:13:16.000These 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.
00:14:29.000When people are burning down buildings, tell them to do more, be more active.
00:14:34.000Like, 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.
00:14:46.000We 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.
00:15:31.000There'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.
00:15:49.000And I heard guilty and I'm like, they knew the verdict was guilty and they're still bringing in the National Guard?
00:15:56.000You know, Ben Shapiro tweeted something amid all this.
00:15:59.000He 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.
00:16:11.000Yeah, that's absolutely true of where we are now.
00:16:14.000But 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.
00:16:30.000Politics 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.
00:16:39.000But did you see what happened with Coke?
00:16:41.000Didn't Coca-Cola come out and actually say, like, Georgia's new voter law is racist?
00:16:45.000And then conservatives were like, yeah, we're gonna buy Pepsi, and they went, wait, wait, we must find common ground.
00:17:40.000Disaffected liberal types... Actually, there's a decent amount of disaffected liberals who are speaking up.
00:17:45.000But by nature, as a disaffected liberal, they're complaining about something.
00:17:49.000So 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.
00:17:59.000It's... Do you guys know what Pascal's Wager is?
00:18:16.000But if I believe in God and I die and it is true, I get to go to heaven.
00:18:19.000He says, now if I don't believe in God and it's not true, it doesn't matter.
00:18:24.000And if I don't believe in God and it is true, well then I go to hell.
00:18:27.000So your safest bet is to be, you know, believe in God or be religious.
00:18:33.000It'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.
00:18:43.000If you are on the right and you stand up for your rights, you will likely be canceled or banned.
00:18:50.000If you are on the right and you do nothing, nothing happens.
00:19:10.000If you want to run a business right now in this environment, your best bet is just to feign leftism.
00:19:16.000Because there's no negative repercussions.
00:19:18.000And 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?
00:19:33.000When you're going to Ben and Jerry's, well, nowadays, now you are asking, well, what were you talking about in politics?
00:19:39.000But before, you're like, I just want my double chocolate chip ice cream.
00:19:42.000You could sit down at a Ben & Jerry's and look over to a random stranger and be like, which one did you get?
00:20:38.000I 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.
00:20:52.000And they keep saying things like, if Derek Chauvin didn't put his knee on George Floyd's neck, then Floyd would be alive today.
00:20:59.000The prosecution was actually debunked very early on.
00:21:32.000And then what you get is blind rage in support of the tribe, you know, the leftist tribe, no matter what.
00:21:38.000I 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.
00:21:46.000And I was like, Yeah, you're just gonna believe the first thing they tell you, the government.
00:21:50.000And she's like, I just don't have the energy to investigate.
00:23:12.000This is like turning into a third world country.
00:23:16.000You 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.
00:23:27.000Meaning 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.
00:23:54.000I'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.
00:24:57.000They will defund the police, they will use the Chauvin case as an example, and they're gonna march and they're gonna say, see?
00:25:05.000And 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.
00:25:17.000We talked about this last year during the riots.
00:25:19.000You know private security would actually punch a cop on your behalf?
00:25:22.000If you get a legit private security company.
00:25:25.000These guys are getting paid, you know, low to mid six figures depending on who the client is.
00:25:29.000These guys, they're wearing suits, they got sunglasses, earpieces, legit security for high-profile individuals.
00:25:35.000If a cop tried arresting, these security guards would shove a cop to the ground.
00:25:38.000They would absolutely assault an officer because they don't respect Some guy getting $30K a year in New York City or $40K.
00:25:44.000When 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.
00:26:01.000It's going to be the poor community in general.
00:26:03.000And the rich people are going to be sitting there in their infinity pools, not caring.
00:26:06.000Well, 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.
00:26:14.000They don't want the police to go away.
00:26:15.000Well, it's the same thing with the Hispanic community.
00:26:18.000When 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.
00:26:31.000They talk about these kind of instances that happen every once in a while.
00:26:36.000But 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.
00:26:45.000They're leaving these places where they don't trust their law enforcement.
00:26:50.000We, again, have that public trust and and they're, you know, people are chipping away at that.
00:26:57.000I love the idea of socialists and leftists condemning the state right now.
00:27:02.000When the state literally won its case, the state versus Derek Chauvin, the state is the winner.
00:27:08.000They'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.
00:27:15.000And I'm like, it's the state who also won from the guy on the bus.
00:27:19.000Also, if you're a socialist and you want socialized everything, then shouldn't you be happy with a socialized law enforcement?
00:27:31.000Like, I was in Chile for a while, and...
00:27:34.000It's national cops only in that country.
00:27:37.000So 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.
00:28:47.000In the United States, they burn the country down and get away with it.
00:28:51.000Well 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.
00:29:12.000It 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.
00:29:31.000Do 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?
00:29:42.000You had the media, Maxine Waters again.
00:29:45.000There are some real questions here that are setting kind of the tone for the next years to come.
00:29:52.000And what is our country going to look like 50 years from now?
00:30:29.000I 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.
00:30:46.000I 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?
00:30:59.000Well, yeah, well, because they're the elites now.
00:31:01.000And I will tell you, too, you know, I've done ride alongs with our local law enforcement.
00:31:06.000a while ago and I visited the county jails.
00:31:10.000Like 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.
00:31:29.000And 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.
00:31:43.000We are not even understanding what the average cop has to go through every day, especially in big cities.
00:31:52.000I mean, I live in a sleepier town, but crime rates are going up in the suburbs.
00:31:56.000Crime rates are going up in traditionally small neighborhoods.
00:32:01.000It is a real issue and we're not looking at them as humans.
00:32:05.000Have you seen that letter that's gone viral?
00:32:07.000They say supposedly it's from a former police officer.
00:32:10.000They 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.
00:32:19.000They expect them to be a psychologist.
00:32:21.000To know how to deal with a mentally ill person who's on a rampage.
00:32:24.000They 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.
00:32:38.000They 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.
00:32:52.000How was he supposed to know any of this stuff?
00:32:54.000It's crazy to me, because you mentioned going on the ride-alongs with these law enforcement.
00:32:57.000I did a night crawling in Chicago, which you understand what that is, right?
00:33:02.000So 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.
00:33:08.000Typically it's like crime and things like that.
00:33:10.000In one night, I think I saw, what, like five murders?
00:33:48.000And there's like 30 people on each side of the block.
00:33:52.000And I'm like, now this cop here with one other guy who arrived on scene knows there's active shooting.
00:33:57.000Possibly 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?
00:34:08.000Marksmanship 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.
00:34:28.000You have that culture just completely Changing the dynamics of law enforcement as a whole.
00:34:35.000I 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.
00:35:35.000You've got 330 million people in this country, 220 million adults or whatever.
00:35:41.000There's going to be more police interactions.
00:35:43.000More police interactions means you will have accidental deaths, you have negligent actions, you have overt criminal acts from some officers.
00:35:51.000But we're talking about what is like 100 million police interactions per year.
00:35:55.000And like 20, you know, unarmed guys, you know, guys being getting shot in 2019.
00:36:00.000People don't seem to take into consideration that they may see all these videos.
00:36:24.000But 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.
00:36:33.000Where's the viral story in the viral video where a cop pulls someone over, walks up and says, ma'am, you were speeding.
00:36:37.000You were going, you know, eight over in a 40.
00:37:04.000I don't think every moment, like, I am so healthy, this is so great.
00:37:07.000But as soon as it hurts, it is the biggest deal in the world to me.
00:37:10.000Bro, 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?
00:38:25.000Democrats block resolution censuring Maxine Waters for Chauvin trial comments.
00:38:30.000Keeping 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.
00:39:34.000And 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.
00:39:50.000When 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.
00:40:07.000And to your point, you're spot on where we don't even have Republicans standing firm on half this stuff.
00:40:14.000This is why I said, you know, I've been saying for some time, I don't think I'd vote Republican in 2022.
00:41:31.000You 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.
00:41:41.000I 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.
00:41:50.000But our founders also, I feel like they didn't want to see a multiple party system because they saw that in Europe as well.
00:41:57.000And 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.
00:42:07.000But 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
00:43:35.000It's one thing to be anti-Trump, because I can understand that a lot of people didn't like the guy.
00:43:40.000It'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.
00:43:49.000Did he get like a memo where it's like your district just became D plus eight.
00:43:54.000So now you better be a Democrat if you want to win.
00:43:56.000I think he got a lot of opportunities to be on MSNBC and CNN and loved watching himself
00:44:45.000I 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.
00:45:03.000But if we don't, the corporations will, with their advertisement and their brainwashing and their poison.
00:45:50.000It 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?
00:46:22.000I'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.
00:46:36.000and I was making YouTube videos and I got this really like strong feeling
00:46:40.000that we needed to globalize, that there was no stopping.
00:46:44.000It was just what's happening is the entire globe is coming together with the internet
00:46:48.000and we have to build a government that can sustain that.
00:47:06.000So the Chinese corporations are like driving people insane in the United States.
00:47:11.000You 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.
00:47:21.000Basically, There was that there's a famous quote.
00:47:24.000I 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.
00:47:34.000I think what he was saying was that it's going to happen through trade unions and communications.
00:48:01.000And 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.
00:48:10.000And every day I look at what's going on around the world and I'm just like thanking the founding fathers.
00:48:16.000That being said, because we are not having the values of the constitution be the superseding culture around the world, China is filling that gap.
00:48:25.000Now, you have major corporations in the United States who, they're deferential to China because they don't want to lose money.
00:49:14.000The issue I'm talking about is... What I'm concerned with is a supremacy clause.
00:49:17.000I don't want a global supremacy clause like we have in the United States.
00:49:20.000A guaranteed Bill of Rights for everybody?
00:49:22.000Well, maybe we do need something like that, then.
00:49:24.000The 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.
00:49:34.000You look at what's going on in Ontario.
00:49:35.000Did you see these videos out of Ontario?
00:49:37.000They 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.
00:49:47.000They 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.
00:51:04.000They're doing everything in their power, the establishment, to destroy it.
00:51:08.000That'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.
00:51:17.000But sooner or later, they're tearing through it.
00:51:19.000They're ripping it away piece by piece.
00:51:20.000I 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.
00:52:50.000She 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.
00:53:31.000Well, and then going back to the business stuff, it's the same way.
00:53:34.000I 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.
00:53:45.000When I see people talk about censorship and the weird cancel culture stuff and they laugh about it, Yeah.
00:53:53.000In a sense where it's like, they're not laughing because they think it's funny what's happening to people.
00:53:56.000They laugh because it's like, it's just so absurd.
00:54:12.000You 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?
00:54:25.000Just like you wake up one day and there's a guy on the screen saying, I am your dictator, ha ha ha.
00:54:29.000No, it happens gradually through social acceptance and social pressure.
00:54:34.000The only reason the government has power is because people have confidence in it.
00:54:37.000So 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.
00:54:47.000Yeah, I kind of actually feel quite sympathetic for the jurors.
00:54:51.000People are saying, like, you know, they're pansies, they're being pushed around, and I don't think that's the case.
00:54:58.000I 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.
00:55:17.000And 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.
00:55:32.000For freedom, for liberty, for the Constitution, for the Bill of Rights, for the right to individual freedoms.
00:55:37.000And now you got people who won't even say words.
00:55:40.000You got people that won't even risk losing money.
00:55:43.000There are people who literally watched their homes get burned to the ground because they believed in something.
00:55:47.000And today in America you have people who are like...
00:56:43.000Now 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.
00:56:58.000Because it's not impacting their lives.
00:57:01.000But then you see, look what happened with Robin Hood and GameStop and even the Twitter censorship, right?
00:57:10.000When 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.
00:57:23.000But 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.
00:57:34.000We were fighting Nazis and even in Vietnam, right?
00:57:37.000I 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.
00:57:51.000And yet and then even our founding and the fabric of how we we came to be America.
00:57:59.000Why aren't Millennials scared to the core of communism and socialism?
00:58:06.000And 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.
00:58:32.000Yeah, so we were constantly in this ideological battle where we had to protect ourselves and then after the cold
00:58:37.000war Or actually with uh with nixon and some of the other
00:58:40.000administrations coming up to the end of the cold war I guess the u.s
00:58:43.000Decided to open up trade to china maybe out of fear that if china went and allied with russia more seriously
00:58:49.000Then we'd have lost the cold war or something like that now
00:58:53.000The great ideological battle is the u.s versus china But we don't have national unity saying we must fight and
00:58:58.000resist china the chinese communist party now It's just a bunch of billionaires saying stop criticizing
00:59:04.000china. Come on, you know, just buy our stuff one That's a great point. But I also think about we were in
00:59:10.000You 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?
00:59:22.000I mean, why is this going on for 20 years?
00:59:24.000And now we're going to talk about political unrest globally again.
00:59:29.000I mean, it's it's it's almost a lack of leadership.
00:59:33.000And in different administrations that I think have really caused this and even Congress to a fault and just just the
00:59:40.000I don't want to Say it's not complete incompetence
00:59:43.000But it's definitely agenda pushing from within that has put us in this position now
00:59:50.000Like with China, I think we just don't have leaders. Yeah Right.
01:00:12.000Instead he's, you know, well he's doing something maybe arguably more important by being an influential voice.
01:00:18.000And we were talking about this actually in the drive up, is just how everybody I think has kind of their own gifts
01:00:24.000and their role in civic duty in a sense.
01:00:28.000And I think journalists and people like Tucker Carlson and even you guys, I mean,
01:00:33.000everybody kind of has their own way of kind of serving, right, serving others and serving, you know,
01:00:41.000the fabric of our country in a sense here within.
01:00:45.000You know, again, I think President Trump was a great leader, I think, in a lot of ways.
01:00:51.000He 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.
01:01:06.000Unlike the Republicans' leadership now, which are just wagging the finger at Maxine Waters.
01:01:11.000But I will say of Trump, he was absolutely a fighter.
01:01:18.000He was loud, bombastic, tweeted like crazy.
01:01:21.000But people accepted that they finally had someone who was fighting on their behalf.
01:01:31.000Donald 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.
01:01:39.000Trump was far from perfect, but at least he was just over that threshold of actually doing things and fighting for things.
01:01:45.000I 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.
01:01:56.000Is somewhat running the government, running the world with military bases, establishing this liberal economic order around the globe.
01:02:30.000But 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.
01:02:42.000Oh and that's the same thing about with Eisenhower is like he was on the ground with his troops, right?
01:02:47.000You read every type of servant leadership or leadership book whether it's business or military.
01:02:53.000The 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.
01:03:09.000You have these people that are in a faraway place, as Reagan used to say, and they're not in tune with the everyday American.
01:03:16.000They're not in tune with what people want and where the country is going.
01:03:20.000Why are our manufacturing companies are getting shipped off to China?
01:03:24.000Because our politicians don't understand small business owners and they don't understand how their policies are affecting everyday people and everyday lives.
01:04:40.000So 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.
01:04:55.000But that is becoming more and more pervasive.
01:04:57.000You get someone like Joe Biden, you get someone like Kamala Harris, and that's it.
01:05:25.000This 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.
01:05:33.000Maybe it's not making it, but that's what they're... So when you can clear your mind, that's the way out.
01:05:43.000They, 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.
01:05:54.000So it's like the jurors, you know what I mean?
01:05:56.000They, they're like, I'm not going to say anything because I don't want my house burned down.
01:05:58.000There'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.
01:06:06.000But 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.
01:06:12.000And 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.
01:06:21.000I will tell you that I think I accidentally made up a quote from Andrew Breitbart, where someone told me this.
01:06:26.000They 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.
01:06:34.000And so you have all these people who are seeing this fire and they're like, I can't do it.
01:06:49.000They can't take anything away from us.
01:06:51.000We've built something new that is ours.
01:06:53.000But you have to keep moving when you get close to that fire.
01:06:55.000Cause if you stop and you panic, you're going to burn to death.
01:06:59.000But 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?
01:07:09.000And 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.
01:07:22.000But then we've slowly eroded into, no, you must comply.
01:07:27.000You are, you know, even with the school system, you know, you kind of have to fit this mold.
01:07:33.000And 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
01:09:13.000Being 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.
01:09:35.000Not only the teacher talking about this stuff, but my child having to comply and sit there and listen to this.
01:09:42.000Are 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?
01:09:49.000And then on a state level, when you have your elected officials pushing this, and a state perspective, where is the control, right?
01:09:57.000Who does have the power to get that stuff out of our school systems?
01:10:00.000The parents should, the school board should, not the state.
01:10:04.000What'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.
01:10:35.000And then who determines, especially in a company, who determines what the criteria is if you're not complying with their diversity and inclusion?
01:11:06.000Yeah, I won't name the school, but this actually happened and it's very similar to kind of the gender things as well.
01:11:16.000If 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.
01:11:31.000For those that aren't familiar with what a- you guys all know what furries are, right?
01:11:35.000So they're basically people who have some kind of- they identify with anthropomorphic cartoon animals.
01:11:44.000So they have- and some people refer to them as like fetishists, others say it's just more of an identity thing.
01:11:49.000But 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.
01:12:18.000If 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.
01:12:29.000But then it opens the door for things like furries.
01:12:32.000And 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.
01:12:46.000And they're protected under these rules.
01:12:48.000So, 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.
01:12:54.000Well, 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.
01:13:10.000I've never heard what that is until this particular instance and it's this is happening in a lot of different places.
01:13:19.000This 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.
01:13:35.000I mean, it's just so it seems so bizarre to me.
01:13:38.000I think there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.
01:13:58.000We're gonna indoctrinate your kids in your schools, then we're gonna create our own school pods and pull our kids out.
01:14:03.000It's forcing families to basically privatize things.
01:14:06.000And 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.
01:14:20.000And and that really kind of wakes people up as well. I mean I hear this all the time in the campaign trail
01:14:24.000They're like I never followed politics until this stuff was happening
01:14:27.000and so there that is a silver lining to very stuff like Little kids that were sat down in front of like Teletubbies
01:14:35.000or like cartoons with like a broken family I think so. I don't know about broken family, but I think
01:14:40.000if someone identifies with Anthropomorphic cartoon animals I have to imagine that they
01:14:45.000spent a decent amount of time as a child watching anthropomorphic cartoon animals and then built an
01:14:54.000Yeah, 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.
01:16:23.000So they're looking up to adults and they're emulating that behavior.
01:16:26.000If 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.
01:16:36.000Why aren't the parents saying, Parents are working.
01:16:49.000This is so interesting to me because my family got static because we were homeschooled and everyone's like, well, they need to be socialized.
01:16:55.000They need to be around other kids their age.
01:16:57.000And my parents are like, no, they're around adults.
01:16:59.000You know, adults will show them how to speak and how to act.
01:17:02.000And they don't really need that influence.
01:17:04.000And I did wish that I had more friends.
01:17:06.000But at the same time, I feel like I did mature faster because I was around people who already had this developed sense of self.
01:17:12.000To me, it was a net benefit because it's like you need that positive influence of adults in your life, not just other kids.
01:17:19.000Yeah 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.
01:17:29.000I 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?
01:17:54.000That come with a classroom and other kids and things like that.
01:17:57.000So I'm a huge proponent of school choice, especially in homeschooling.
01:18:01.000And, you know, every kid should learn their own way.
01:18:04.000And yeah, there's a social aspect of that.
01:18:07.000So you went to public school in the beginning?
01:18:16.000No 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.
01:18:55.000I 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
01:19:27.000In 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.
01:19:41.000You used the internet a lot when you were homeschooling?
01:19:51.000Yeah, you become an autodidact, right?
01:19:56.000I 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.
01:20:23.000I 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.
01:20:47.000And that really hurts self-esteem because I knew I was smart, but I just never
01:20:52.000But when you have people telling you that you're not fitting a mold or you don't have teachers that are
01:20:57.000Encouraging you in a positive way, which I had great teachers, but I also had kind of bad ones like every kid,
01:21:03.000and you can talk about this I'm sure from a homeschool perspective is
01:21:22.000We know that you're smart, but let's find a different avenue for you That's the parents have to take that responsibility, right?
01:21:29.000But 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.
01:21:41.000I 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.
01:21:50.000And it was like a really stupid problem, like 30 minus 50.
01:21:54.000And I was like dozing off, not paying attention to my teachers, like, who can answer this question?
01:21:58.000And then she calls on me thinking she got me.
01:22:00.000And I look at it and I'm like negative 20.
01:22:02.000And then I go back to like doodling stick figures.
01:22:03.000And then she demanded of me, like, what's the formula?
01:23:34.000I had a class in college that I never attended.
01:23:36.000I think I attended the first day and then just stopped going.
01:23:38.000I missed the midterm test and they were like, it's an automatic failure.
01:23:42.000I was like, Hey, I went in, I talked to the guy, charmed him.
01:23:44.000And I was like, Can I somehow do anything to pass?
01:23:47.000And he's like, if you can get an A on the final, I'll give you a D and pass you.
01:23:51.000So I studied, I got an A on the final, and they passed me.
01:23:53.000Totally against... They just liked me.
01:23:57.000I don't want to swear, but that whole system is rigged and jacked, in my opinion.
01:24:02.000It'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.
01:24:10.000And then think about the political stuff sorry to interrupt you but think about politics.
01:24:14.000I 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.
01:24:54.000The 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.
01:25:01.000So they have to agree with something they don't agree with.
01:25:04.000And it's warping these kids into crazy probably is what's happening.
01:25:22.000If you're not fast enough, you get left behind.
01:25:24.000If you're too fast, you get pulled back.
01:25:27.000Yeah 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.
01:25:52.000I think that's to the detriment of individuality in a lot of ways.
01:26:11.000Kids should be learning stuff way before five years old.
01:26:15.000And 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.
01:27:04.000You 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.
01:27:19.000It 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.
01:27:31.000Increase people being able to thrive and get out of the system, whatever it might be.
01:27:46.000Should 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.
01:28:07.000They're just, they're using all this stuff as a scapegoat.
01:28:10.000Because it wasn't that they were white and black.
01:28:12.000It didn't matter what their races were.
01:28:13.000They just happened to be those people at that time.
01:28:29.000Like, 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.
01:28:41.000People who have access to knowledge and people who are... I mean, poverty is connected to that.
01:28:45.000If you're poor, the likelihood that you're reading the classics and powerful books and philosophy is lower.
01:28:50.000According to Democrats, though, you can't even get a license if you're a minority, let alone access the Internet.
01:29:08.000You'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.
01:29:26.000People read it and become more intelligent and intellectual, understanding the way a psychopath may think.
01:29:31.000Not necessarily emulating it, but you must see the demon to circumvent the demon.
01:29:38.000And 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.
01:29:55.000Who ultimately decides what is wrong and what is to be read?
01:29:59.000That is always the question is who decides what gets to stay and what gets censored.
01:30:05.000And 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.
01:30:44.000It was just about, you know, the light bulb going black.
01:30:47.000And then I posted on Facebook and they suspended me for 24 hours.
01:30:52.000I thought it was hilarious that of all the things I say, it's the calling cops racist is the thing that gets me.
01:30:58.000All right, Facebook, whatever you say, man.
01:31:00.000But 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?
01:31:11.000Politically nuanced and understanding and okay with humor.
01:31:17.000And 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.
01:31:35.000I mean, we're getting to this point where it's like everything offends everybody.
01:32:43.000So 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.
01:32:53.000We 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.
01:33:01.000Are we those animals, sadly sitting atop the hill, realizing there is no recourse for the system we helped create?
01:34:35.000They 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.
01:34:55.000That 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.
01:35:03.000Yeah, revenge doesn't make that pain go away.
01:36:22.000The benefit of the individual, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is failing.
01:36:26.000I 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.
01:37:29.000If 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.
01:37:38.000But 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.
01:37:46.000A lot of them are but it's these people are gonna have a quick realization about what what it really means
01:37:52.000Right when you don't have police there anymore It's it's and didn't we?
01:37:57.000Didn't we see that the data of and polling of people wanted more? Yeah law enforcement in
01:38:03.000African-american communities, right? Well, no, i'm sure it's all communities even the suburbs
01:38:09.000We had $3 million worth of damage in a nice suburb of Illinois.
01:38:19.000What 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?
01:39:20.000Dude, 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?
01:39:53.000Dude, if someone begs to have their home burned down, I'm gonna be like, okay, well... Yeah, but it's not that literal.
01:39:58.000They voted for people they thought were gonna protect them.
01:40:00.000They 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.
01:40:24.000I 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.
01:40:32.000So 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.
01:41:27.000I'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.
01:41:35.000They didn't know that they were helping the houses get burned down.
01:41:38.000If they were like, burn my house down, then I wouldn't support them.
01:42:20.000But his own staff donated to bail out the rioters, and Kamala Harris directly solicited donations to do so.
01:42:27.000I 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.
01:42:33.000You'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.
01:42:41.000I kind of think they wanted this to happen.
01:42:43.000I kind of think the people of Minneapolis like the riots and the protests.
01:42:47.000Well, somebody needs to lay down the law.
01:42:50.000If they don't like it, then do something about it.
01:42:53.000There are protests happening, and the people of these cities are convinced they're peaceful protesters.
01:43:53.000They have voted for representatives who support the riots and the extremism.
01:43:57.000At 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.
01:44:05.000Now, 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.
01:44:14.000But dude, if you live in someone's house, and everyone is screaming, Ian, get out!
01:44:20.000And 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.
01:44:25.000And you're like, I'm not leaving, I'm gonna stay.
01:44:29.000And 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?
01:44:35.000You don't know what you got till it's gone.
01:44:36.000I 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.
01:44:48.000But you're skipping the first point of my argument.
01:44:50.000If 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.
01:44:56.000And 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.
01:46:23.000And they're going to pull him out of his car and they're going to beat him to death.
01:46:25.000Or some other extreme psychopathic crime.
01:46:27.000If this was a video game and I could reload my save game, yeah, I would do that.
01:46:31.000Get 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.
01:47:30.000Yeah, 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.
01:47:55.000I 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.
01:48:06.000You 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.
01:48:16.000They are telling police officers in no uncertain terms if you try to make an arrest and a mistake happens.
01:48:27.000So 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?
01:48:42.000And then that cop gets to go to prison!
01:48:57.000If 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.
01:49:06.000I would defend the principal, or the individual, to an extent.
01:49:12.000If you are standing there watching this happen and you think you will be fine, Let me tell you a joke, Ian.
01:49:29.000And then the rain starts pouring very, very heavily.
01:49:32.000And then all of a sudden, he's sitting there watching.
01:49:35.000And so he thinks to himself, I'll be fine.
01:49:38.000If anything bad happens, the Lord will save me.
01:49:41.000And 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!
01:50:46.000It'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.
01:51:00.000At a certain point, what do you expect of me?
01:51:02.000I'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.
01:51:11.000They leave and give the people what they voted for and asked for.
01:51:15.000And 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?
01:51:28.000And they have to make the choice to resign or leave or not want to be involved.
01:51:35.000How 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.
01:51:48.000I 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.
01:53:13.000If 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.
01:53:21.000And if you want to vote to disarm yourself, you can do that if you'd like.
01:53:25.000For me, once it happens around me, I choose to leave.
01:53:28.000As 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.
01:53:35.000Because now the National Guard, a thousand, have been called into Philadelphia.
01:53:49.000The people who are standing up and sitting on principle probably aren't all that worried all that much either.
01:53:54.000The 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?
01:54:03.000You keep advocating for some way to prop the system up, to keep it in place.
01:54:09.000No, I'm just saying don't rip it down.
01:56:07.000People started calling in the city council members, and the council members started then changing their tune, and the police department was never formally abolished.
01:56:13.000They then said, okay, we need to hire more police.
01:56:15.000Now the governor has declared a state of emergency.
01:56:17.000They're bringing in cops from, I think, Nebraska and Ohio, and spending nine million dollars because they're desperate.
01:56:23.000Like the one super chat said, the cops should turn their backs.
01:56:26.000I'm not even necessarily saying that, because that's one way to put it.
01:56:28.000I'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.
01:56:38.000Stop trying to force your will on other people.
01:57:14.000Han 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.
01:57:31.000Stanley 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.
01:57:40.000That's right. You know what, man? I'm just at a point where it's like cops are not doctors,
01:57:46.000cops are not marksmen, cops are not Brazilian jiu-jitsu experts,
01:57:50.000cops are not psychologists trained in de-escalation. They have some minimal
01:57:53.000training in all of these different areas a little bit. They get certified for their gun,
01:57:57.000they have basic first aid, they know some de-escalation techniques.
01:58:30.000And that's how I feel right now with this situation.
01:58:33.000The difference is the person who broke his leg walks in and you treat him.
01:58:37.000Then 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.
02:02:12.000Colt 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.
02:02:55.000There's a YouTube channel called The Great War.
02:02:57.000And 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.
02:03:24.000AngryWaffle2 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.
02:03:33.000I'm also trying to avoid short term gains tax though.
02:04:40.000Let 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.
02:05:34.000I 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.
02:05:42.000If the police leave very, very quickly, it'll be a shock to the system that will force people to be like, whoa!
02:05:48.000So 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.
02:05:56.000And then the people will be like, the cops are here though, and everything's getting worse.
02:06:04.000Then within a year, the cops are just considered nothing, get disbanded.
02:06:08.000I also wonder, from an internal political leadership perspective too, what do the higher-ups say in these situations?
02:06:17.000Are 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?
02:06:34.000I think that's another angle that people kind of miss as well.
02:06:39.000I'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.
02:08:13.000A lot of people see negative comments and not enough good ones.
02:08:19.000We'll take a couple more, but this is a good one.
02:08:20.000Waffle Sensei says, Tim is defending these cops, but you can't do it all the same way over and over and over again.
02:08:26.000Gotta get a little punk rock about it.
02:08:28.000Give them what they ask for and be there to help when they get exactly that.
02:08:32.000When I tweeted, all the cops should resign, a bunch of conservatives and leftists retweeted it.
02:08:38.000The leftists were like, yeah, all the cops should quit.
02:08:41.000And the conservatives were saying, yeah, they should quit to show the, you know, to give the people what they've asked for.
02:08:46.000I'm not saying the cops should resign in disgrace.
02:08:49.000I'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.
02:09:01.000These cops go out there, expected, as I said, to be doctors, to be psychologists, to be jiu-jitsu experts.
02:09:08.000They risk dying when a guy in a car is wanted for aggravated robbery and has a gun.
02:09:41.000Regarding 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?
02:10:26.000On a mass scale, publicized, and then the left, Biden, Maxine Waters, again, back to that point, why this case?
02:10:37.000And it goes into this kind of, I think, greater division tool.
02:10:45.000And 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.
02:12:01.000Like that because we're gonna be putting up shorter clips from the show.
02:12:04.000You can follow my other YouTube channels, youtube.com slash TimCast and youtube.com slash TimCastNews.
02:12:09.000We also have the Cast Castle vlog channel now live with one episode officially up.
02:12:15.000Another one is already done and will be up soon.
02:12:17.000And we're already going to be filming and even bringing on a professional vlogging individual because we're going to do a daily show with all the crazy shenanigans in the house.
