Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Kanye West BOOTED From Skechers Office As Ye Empire COLLAPSES w-Ian Prior

00:00:00.000 So apparently Kanye West shows up to the Skechers offices in Los Angeles unannounced and then

00:00:21.000 was escorted out of the building.

00:00:23.000 So we don't know exactly why, but this story is apparently breaking and it just comes amid the fall of Kanye West and the fall of his empire.

00:00:32.000 He's no longer a billionaire.

00:00:33.000 He's been dropped by a ton of different companies.

00:00:36.000 And so with this news just coming out, I think it's interesting considering his support for Trump, his politics, what's happening with the Lex Friedman interview.

00:00:42.000 So we're going to talk a bit about what's going on with Kanye West, but we do have a lot of other news.

00:00:46.000 The headline, the title of this podcast changed a bit because we're hearing also that PayPal reinstated their fine of $2,500.

00:00:53.000 They didn't reinstate it.

00:00:56.000 It's always been there, or at least for several years.

00:00:59.000 What they took out was the misinformation.

00:01:02.000 What's still there is they can fine you for hate speech.

00:01:05.000 So I think most people just didn't realize that provision's been in there for a very long time.

00:01:10.000 At least two or almost three years now.

00:01:12.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:01:13.000 Plus, Elon Musk!

00:01:15.000 He walks into Twitter HQ with the kitchen sink.

00:01:18.000 So good for him.

00:01:19.000 He's going to be buying the platform.

00:01:21.000 Everybody's really excited.

00:01:21.000 And of course, we got to talk politics because it's getting crazy out there, man.

00:01:25.000 Real clear politics says that the Republicans are going to win 53 seats in the Senate.

00:01:30.000 That's crazy.

00:01:31.000 And now they're saying that Michigan is going to go Republican.

00:01:34.000 Y'all, this is getting nuts.

00:01:36.000 Democrats are about to get a major blowout loss.

00:01:39.000 So, let's talk about that stuff.

00:02:00.000 Ilad Eliyahu was on the ground in New York.

00:02:02.000 He actually got to talk to Carolyn Maloney about her support for Governor Hochul in her re-election bid, so there's really interesting stuff there.

00:02:09.000 So again, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, be the notification you want to see in this world because YouTube is not notifying people.

00:02:17.000 YouTube has us somewhat suppressed, but if you guys take the URL to this YouTube video or this podcast or whatever and just share it everywhere, the censorship is meaningless.

00:02:26.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and a whole lot more is Ian Pryor.

00:02:30.000 Thanks for having me.

00:02:32.000 Who are you?

00:02:33.000 Who am I?

00:02:34.000 That's a good question.

00:02:36.000 Well, I live in Loudoun County, Virginia, which is kind of the epicenter of all fun things, especially related to the school system.

00:02:44.000 But, you know, it's probably ground zero in what happened in Virginia in 2021 with Glenn Youngkin getting elected and being the first Republican governor in 12 years.

00:02:55.000 You know, I joined a lot of parents last year that was pushing back on the school system, on the culture, really, on cancel culture from local activists against parents that were speaking up at school board meetings on things like, you know, closed schools or masks or critical race theory or transgender issues.

00:03:14.000 And it really just took off.

00:03:15.000 And, you know, it was impressive to see just how everybody stepped up.

00:03:19.000 You know, exercise their civic duty to stand up to what their government was doing at the local level.

00:03:25.000 I mean, we always see, you know, everyone's obviously, you know, focused on the midterms right now.

00:03:29.000 And in presidential years, people are focused on the presidential races.

00:03:33.000 But in these local political issues, everybody just assumes.

00:03:36.000 You send somebody to a school board, or you send somebody to your board of supervisors, or your local Commonwealth attorney, and they just do the job because they're not political.

00:03:44.000 Well, not anymore, and maybe never, but I think now, these days, we see it more and more.

00:03:50.000 And it really just snowballed to November of last year, where, I mean, you had thousands of parents out at that final Glenn Youngkin rally in Loudoun County, Virginia.

00:03:59.000 And, you know, while he didn't win Loudoun County, I would say that, you know, that area was integral in Virginia flipping, but also in really setting off people throughout the country.

00:04:11.000 I mean, I can't tell you how many times, how many emails, calls, text messages, DMs from people saying, how do we do here what you did there?

00:04:18.000 But you're actually seeing it now across the country.

00:04:20.000 I mean, you're seeing You know, you look at Dearborn, right?

00:04:22.000 We talked about Dearborn and, you know, the Muslim community going out to school board meetings and saying no. 0.98

00:04:27.000 And, you know, this woke culture that, you know, prides itself on, we want to create diversity.

00:04:33.000 Well, yeah, they have done that, but they've done it in a way that it's now opposing them, where you have all these different coalitions that are opposing their, you know, ideology.

00:04:40.000 See, that was their plan the whole time.

00:04:41.000 Sacrifice themselves for the greater good, right?

00:04:44.000 Get everybody riled up.

00:04:45.000 Be the villain so that they all turn on them and focus in on their problems.

00:04:50.000 But this will be interesting.

00:04:51.000 Loudoun County was like a major catalyst for a lot of what we're seeing around the country, especially with schools.

00:04:56.000 So thanks for hanging out.

00:04:57.000 We got a lot more to talk about.

00:04:58.000 We also got Luke.

00:04:59.000 Hey guys, my name is Luke Hradowski here of wearechange.org.

00:05:02.000 I come here to you with one very simple, trendy, yuppie message, and that is 2 plus 2 equals 5, you bigot.

00:05:09.000 Now get in line, comply, or else, and get the shirt on thebestpoliticalshirts.com.

00:05:14.000 Hi, everyone.

00:05:15.000 Ian Crosland here.

00:05:16.000 Happy to be here from IanCrosland.net and at Ian Crosland if you'd like to follow me on social media, but let's get to this, huh?

00:05:22.000 And I'm Surge.com.

00:05:23.000 Yeah, pressing buttons.

00:05:24.000 That's right.

00:05:24.000 Take it away, Tim.

00:05:25.000 Alright, here's the first story.

00:05:26.000 Kanye West escorted out of Skechers' office in Los Angeles after he showed up unannounced.

00:05:34.000 Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, was escorted out of the L.A.

00:05:37.000 office of shoemaker Skechers, the company said.

00:05:39.000 The incident comes after Adidas terminated its relationship with the fallen rapper and fashion mogul over his recent anti-Semitic and racist remarks.

00:05:47.000 He said racist remarks?

00:05:48.000 Or are they saying anti-Semitic?

00:05:49.000 The thing about Jew-Judaism is it's a religion and a race. 1.00

00:05:53.000 But, I mean, is that what they're saying?

00:05:54.000 They're saying that the one thing he said is both?

00:05:57.000 Or, I don't know if he said something else.

00:05:58.000 I think it's about the White Lives Matter t-shirt that he's wearing.

00:06:00.000 Oh, okay, right, right, yeah, that's probably right.

00:06:01.000 No, I was just wondering if it was multiple statements or are they saying that, you know, talking about Jewish media or whatever he said considered both?

00:06:09.000 So they basically say he showed up unannounced and has escorted out of the building.

00:06:13.000 Yo, that's crazy.

00:06:14.000 Quote, Sketchers is not considering and has no intention of working with West.

00:06:19.000 We condemn his recent divisive remarks and do not tolerate anti-Semitism or any other form of hate speech, the company said in a statement.

00:06:26.000 The company would like to again stress that West showed up unannounced and uninvited to Sketchers corporate offices.

00:06:32.000 Yo, that's crazy.

00:06:34.000 He's like persona non grata across the board now for what he went on, Tucker Carlson.

00:06:40.000 He said some stuff.

00:06:41.000 What was it?

00:06:41.000 He tweeted about it.

00:06:42.000 He tweeted about the Jewish mafia, he said, and that's it.

00:06:45.000 You know, for the record, a Semite is anyone from ancient Southwestern Asia that includes Acadians, Phoenicians, Hebrews, Arabs.

00:06:52.000 So if people say anti-Arab stuff, they're anti-Semitic, just for the record.

00:06:57.000 Yes.

00:06:58.000 So keep it clean, folks.

00:07:01.000 Yeah, so anyway, the reason I thought... I mean, look, this is Kanye West.

00:07:04.000 I said folks.

00:07:05.000 I don't normally say that.

00:07:06.000 I guess I do.

00:07:07.000 They got you.

00:07:08.000 Ever since they called you a conservative.

00:07:11.000 Yeah, no, I think it's interesting.

00:07:12.000 Look, we were trying to figure out, like, what are we leading with today?

00:07:15.000 And you've got Elon Musk.

00:07:17.000 He's buying Twitter.

00:07:17.000 That's happening.

00:07:18.000 So we'll talk a bit about that.

00:07:19.000 You've got PayPal banning hate speech.

00:07:21.000 But what we have here, check this out, with Kanye West, He tweeted a few things.

00:07:26.000 This is cancel culture.

00:07:28.000 Check it out. 1.00

00:07:28.000 Look, I think what he said was stupid, obviously, and wrong. 1.00

00:07:32.000 L.A. 1.00

00:07:32.000 Times. 1.00

00:07:33.000 Kanye West hits keep coming.

00:07:34.000 Here are the companies that have cut ties within the gap.

00:07:36.000 Instagram and Twitter.

00:07:37.000 JPMorgan Chase.

00:07:38.000 Def Jam.

00:07:39.000 Balenciaga.

00:07:40.000 Is that what he said?

00:07:41.000 CAA.

00:07:42.000 MRC.

00:07:42.000 Adidas.

00:07:43.000 Foot Locker.

00:07:44.000 Jalen Brown and Aaron Donald.

00:07:46.000 Donda Sports.

00:07:47.000 Is that it?

00:07:47.000 Oh, wow.

00:07:47.000 Donda was just talking, saying that they were sticking with him yesterday.

00:07:50.000 Is this right?

00:07:51.000 Donda?

00:07:52.000 Well, his lawyer also made sure that he's not working with him.

00:07:55.000 His talent agency dropped him.

00:07:57.000 Yeah, his lawyer dropped him, his talent agency dropped him, and now LA Times is writing an article talking about how Spotify and Apple Music have to pull his music, and they're arguing for more censorship, more canceling here.

00:08:08.000 Yeah, LA Times has an article that's titled, Why Spotify and Apple Music Haven't Pulled Kanye West's Songs.

00:08:15.000 And in that article, they make an argument saying, If we're going to counsel somebody, we're going to make sure we're going to fully counsel this person.

00:08:21.000 And you're seeing someone being depersoned in real time, whether you agree with him or disagree with him.

00:08:26.000 I think there is something to say about something that is happening to Kanye West right now that has happened to other people like Alex Jones and, of course, Andrew Tate as well.

00:08:36.000 So Donda is Kanye's company, and Jalen Brown and Aaron Donald cut ties with Donda.

00:08:42.000 That's what it is.

00:08:43.000 And they got rid of the Donda Academy basketball team.

00:08:46.000 It was removed from a tournament.

00:08:47.000 Okay, what were you saying?

00:08:48.000 No, just LA Times.

00:08:49.000 Here's the story.

00:08:50.000 Spotify and Apple Music haven't pulled Kanye West's songs.

00:08:53.000 This is the crazy thing about censorship.

00:08:56.000 When Alex Jones got censored, they didn't shut down his ability to speak, they deleted everything he had ever said on the platform.

00:09:03.000 On all these platforms.

00:09:04.000 There's no record of it anymore.

00:09:06.000 That's crazy.

00:09:07.000 That's like, you know that, what is it, photo of Stalin?

00:09:10.000 And there's that dude next to him?

00:09:12.000 And then they got mad at the dude, so the dude's gone from the photo?

00:09:14.000 You guys don't know?

00:09:15.000 No.

00:09:15.000 They depersoned him?

00:09:16.000 Yeah, you guys, you don't know what I'm talking about?

00:09:17.000 You never saw that?

00:09:18.000 It's like a famous photograph where it's like him with this guy and then all of a sudden the guy's gone.

00:09:21.000 They rushed him out.

00:09:22.000 Wow.

00:09:22.000 Yeah, back in the day before Photoshop.

00:09:24.000 It's not even one. There's like numerous people that he just, you know, de-personed.

00:09:27.000 They got Kanye, man.

00:09:28.000 Yeah.

00:09:29.000 Because he said, oh, now they're gonna get mad at me for saying they.

00:09:31.000 No, the establishment, the corporate press.

00:09:34.000 I don't think... Here's the funny thing about what Kanye said, right?

00:09:37.000 So he criticized the Jewish mafia.

00:09:40.000 I think Kanye West is clearly wrong about that.

00:09:42.000 I think he's putting, needlessly putting, like, ethnicity and race in front of what's clearly corporate interests that are aligned against him.

00:09:52.000 But this is exactly what conspiracy theorists and anti-semitic individuals Expected to see, and they got it!

00:09:59.000 I got a question.

00:10:00.000 Do any of you guys, are any of you guys Jewish, or do you know a lot about Jewish, Judaism in general?

00:10:04.000 I'm not.

00:10:05.000 I talked with Michael Maus about it, he's Jewish, and was telling me that there's like a tenet of Judaism, and correct me if I'm wrong, anybody in the chat, I want to get this as clear as possible, but that part of the Jewish faith is that God commands people to maybe not enjoy life on earth, but take advantage of life on earth.

00:10:20.000 This is basically your opportunity, and if you don't take advantage of it, then you're basically committing a sin against God.

00:10:27.000 So, Jewish people believe that this is theirs to mold and craft and utilize, but then what happens is that when that gets out of control, it can be perceived as greed.

00:10:37.000 And that's completely antithetical to Christianity, which is charity.

00:10:41.000 Greed is a sin in the Christian faith. 0.92

00:10:45.000 I think when people get greedy, that's really the problem.

00:10:48.000 And when Kanye's complaining about people, he's complaining about greedy people.

00:10:51.000 Whether or not they're Jewish, I don't think is relevant. 1.00

00:10:53.000 But it is interesting to point out these tenets of the Jewish faith, and I'd love to have Jewish scholars in here to talk more about it.

00:11:00.000 I find it interesting that they're not canceling his music.

00:11:03.000 Right?

00:11:03.000 I mean, it's a different situation when, okay, you have a brand, you have sneakers or whatever it is that he's going to be associated with, but with the music, it's just him.

00:11:13.000 And so, how much of the money that he's worth comes from his music?

00:11:17.000 How much does he generate for iTunes, for Spotify?

00:11:21.000 Obviously, it would be hugely concerning if we start saying, we're not going to platform your music.

00:11:27.000 Um, because of something that you said outside of your music or even in your music.

00:11:31.000 But if that's the next shoe to drop, I mean, that's going to be a problematic thing for everybody.

00:11:35.000 When, when you're talking about censoring things like music on, on platforms, what happens after that?

00:11:41.000 So do you guys see when, uh, remember when they banned Farrakhan?

00:11:44.000 I think Facebook banned him.

00:11:46.000 Basically what happened is after Alex Jones gets banned, people start pointing out that, uh, Farrakhan, I don't know if for everybody, people who aren't familiar, it's the, um, what's the organization called?

00:11:57.000 No, it's not the Muslim Brotherhood.

00:12:02.000 Nation of Islam? 0.90

00:12:03.000 Yeah, so Farrakhan is deeply antisemitic.

00:12:08.000 There's tons of people in the rap and hip-hop community and many people in the black community who follow this.

00:12:14.000 He gets banned and Snoop Dogg put out a video saying, how the F are you gonna ban Minister Farrakhan?

00:12:18.000 You know, how dare you and stuff like that.

00:12:21.000 And it's fascinating because it's like, you do realize what that means these people believe, right?

00:12:25.000 They're just not saying it.

00:12:27.000 So what happens is, people get surprised Kanye West comes out and says this stuff.

00:12:30.000 I wasn't!

00:12:31.000 I was on the ground in Baltimore during the riots.

00:12:34.000 It was, I can't remember who the riots were for.

00:12:36.000 And there were a bunch of young black kids who were very, very talking about, they were talking about Farrakhan, they were talking about Islam, Allah, and they were saying anti-Semitic things.

00:12:43.000 And that was the first time I ever experienced it.

00:12:44.000 I didn't know, I was like, what is this?

00:12:46.000 Like, they're Islam or what's going on?

00:12:48.000 And people started talking to me about, you do realize like Farrakhan's been around for a really long time.

00:12:53.000 And then I was like, oh wow.

00:12:54.000 I only remember from the rap lyrics in Tony Hawk 2, was it the Public Enemy song?

00:12:59.000 You know, Turn It Up, Bring The Noise, that's what it's called.

00:13:01.000 Bring The Noise, yeah.

00:13:03.000 When, what's the rapper's name, Chucky D, says Farrakhan's a prophet I think you ought to listen to in the lyrics.

00:13:09.000 And so I didn't really know a whole lot about it.

00:13:12.000 Then I see these viral videos and I was like, THAT'S WHAT THESE PEOPLE BELIEVE? 0.88

00:13:15.000 Holy crap. 0.91

00:13:16.000 So they banned the guy. 0.96

00:13:17.000 Because people started campaigning saying, how are you gonna ban these people but not him?

00:13:20.000 Then a bunch of rappers, prominent celebrities, people like Snoop Dogg came out.

00:13:24.000 Kanye West comes out and says, I'm gonna say what I feel like saying.

00:13:28.000 Then he says some anti-semitic BS.

00:13:30.000 And people are surprised.

00:13:31.000 Dude, there's a ton of rappers and celebrities who believe exactly what Kanye is saying.

00:13:36.000 So, I don't know how you deal with it, or I'm just pointing that out.

00:13:40.000 You want to talk about banning his music, which is unrelated to his politics because he admitted to what he believes?

00:13:45.000 Think about people like Snoop Dogg and all those other people who support Farrakhan.

00:13:48.000 Yeah, another issue with Judaism and Islam I've been thinking about is, whereas Judaism has this tenet of like, take advantage of earth, utilize its goods, and it's gracious, Islam is like, do not be decadent.

00:14:01.000 Decadence is the bane of our—if you are decadent, you are sinning against God.

00:14:05.000 So whereas the Jewish faith is kind of like, I mean, opulence, maybe not the right word, but they're willing to have huge, you know, a lot of things and stuff and good, good things around you.

00:14:15.000 Islam's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you do not want to show if your brother is decadent. 0.93

00:14:20.000 He's a he's a stain on the family. 0.98

00:14:22.000 So I think that's part of why those two religions have been at odds for so long.

00:14:26.000 I think just coming into my mind the other day.

00:14:29.000 Well, you start banning music from today's era, what do you do from 150 years ago, right?

00:14:29.000 Yeah.

00:14:35.000 That's a good point, we should ban it all.

00:14:37.000 Classical musicians, the Baroque era, what were all their beliefs?

00:14:41.000 Let's get their beliefs and let's cancel them off of, you know, wherever you get your classical music from.

00:14:46.000 It's a slippery slope.

00:14:47.000 That's so it's so weird point.

00:14:49.000 Yeah, this is just it.

00:14:51.000 It's breaking down should be centralized.

00:14:53.000 Yeah, we can't we need like decentralized music service like it should be a decentralized service in the commons where everybody can host their stuff and be utilized. 0.98

00:15:01.000 Well, you know, you know, At the other side of this, private businesses get to choose who they want to work with.

00:15:06.000 If they don't want to work with this person, they don't have to.

00:15:08.000 But there also is a very coordinated, organized push to punish people for expressing ideas that they don't like.

00:15:15.000 Of course, ideas always should be debated, always should be contested.

00:15:20.000 I'm all for debate, but, you know, some people are saying Kanye's going way too far, it's too sensationalistic, and there's a big firestorm happening here.

00:15:28.000 There's a lot of media organizations saying, cancel, cancel, cancel, cancel, and a lot of corporations saying, okay, yeah, gladly, we'll do it, and they are.

00:15:36.000 So whether you think it's right or wrong, that's up to you based on your individual, you know, premise.

00:15:40.000 And all this is gonna do is make him, he's gonna double down.

00:15:44.000 He comes out and says he's being attacked by, you know, a particular group.

00:15:46.000 Then all of a sudden everybody cancels and bans him.

00:15:49.000 What do you think he's thinking right now?

00:15:51.000 Kanye's probably being like, see?

00:15:52.000 See?

00:15:53.000 And it's like, dude.

00:15:55.000 Yes.

00:15:56.000 It's just so insane, man.

00:15:58.000 Yeah, I'm surprised he wasn't able to sit down with, like, the Daily Wire crew.

00:16:01.000 Apparently, that's not gonna happen or whatever.

00:16:03.000 Yeah, he said they didn't want him on.

00:16:05.000 He said that on the Lex Freeman interview.

00:16:06.000 He said it, and then Lex was like, wait, they didn't want you on?

00:16:09.000 And he was like, yes, they said they didn't want me on.

00:16:11.000 That's crazy.

00:16:12.000 I mean, I get it.

00:16:13.000 You have to imagine Ben Shapiro's like, dude, not cool.

00:16:16.000 I mean, it's like, you know, Ben's Jewish.

00:16:18.000 But I do think communication is the solution.

00:16:21.000 I have, I mean, unless they're going to try and annihilate something.

00:16:23.000 I want to see a Kanye Ben Shapiro debate.

00:16:26.000 It would be entertaining.

00:16:27.000 It would be... Yeah!

00:16:28.000 Crazy, but it would be a clash of different ideas.

00:16:30.000 And as you mentioned, Tim, you know, a lot of people have those kind of different ideas, but at the same time, what better way to deal with it?

00:16:37.000 What better way to get rid of a lot of this animosity, a lot of this hatred, than to be able to just to talk things out and be able to, of course, Pin ideas against ideas, let the best ideas win.

00:16:49.000 And I think that would be something interesting.

00:16:52.000 It might go haywire, it might go bad, but I think that's the consequences we face in our modern day society, and that's better than just shunning someone and saying, hey, now we're gonna make sure you double down on your beliefs instead of talking you down from the beliefs that we think are wrong.

00:17:05.000 Yeah, I'm gonna have to hit up the Daily Wire crew and ask them why that's the case, because that doesn't seem right.

00:17:10.000 Sure, good clarification.

00:17:12.000 Yeah, because The Daily Wire, they like poking the bear.

00:17:15.000 And especially with Ben being Jewish and Ben being reasonable, I'd imagine Ben would actually have a conversation with Kanye.

00:17:22.000 Ben debates people, he stands in front of people, so it seemed weird to me that The Daily Wire wouldn't bring him on.

00:17:28.000 You'd think they'd be the first place to be like, okay, Kanye, come here and tell us why, because we're going to tell you why you're wrong.

00:17:33.000 But to just be like, no, we won't have him, seems strange to me.

00:17:37.000 I don't know, man.

00:17:37.000 Yeah, the point you brought up, you know, I agree, right?

00:17:39.000 Businesses can make their choices on who they associate based on, you know, what they want for their business model.

00:17:45.000 But marketplace of ideas, I don't remember what Supreme Court Justice said it back in the 30s or maybe it was Holmes or Brandeis, but the remedy for bad speech is good speech.

00:17:54.000 Exactly.

00:17:56.000 Absolutely, 100%.

00:17:57.000 And we need to prioritize that more than ever.

00:17:59.000 No matter who it is, if you disagree with, again, censorship only fosters those bad ideas and makes people double down on them.

00:18:06.000 And when you censor people, when you silence people, you only make sure that they go off to the far ends of the internet where those ideas are even radicalized even more than they were originally radicalized.

00:18:15.000 This is why I have a lot of prospects and a lot of Not pessimism.

00:18:21.000 Optimism, specifically when it comes to Elon Musk purchasing Twitter, as I think it's going to help society by and large a lot.

00:18:27.000 I agree.

00:18:28.000 So let's jump to this story first, before we get to the Elon Musk stuff.

00:18:31.000 We have this from Grit Daily.

00:18:33.000 I'm not familiar with Grit Daily, and I think they're wrong on this story.

00:18:35.000 Here's what they said.

00:18:37.000 Following PR crisis, PayPal again updates TOS, hoping you won't notice.

00:18:43.000 They say as far as PR crises go, PayPal's gotten itself into quite a predicament.

00:18:47.000 On October 8, the company updated its Terms of Service to include a clause enabling it to withdraw $2,500 from users' bank accounts, simply for posting anything the company deems as misinformation or offensive.

00:18:57.000 Unsurprisingly, the backlash was instant and massive.

00:19:00.000 Who would have guessed that the consumers don't want a company to police their speech and threaten to drain their bank accounts?

00:19:05.000 Aside from the fact that the clause is a fool's errand because there's literally no way for the company to legitimately determine what is or isn't misinformation.

00:19:11.000 Okay, full stop guys.

00:19:13.000 It actually said, at their discretion.

00:19:16.000 So he goes on to say, it's another case of big tech overreach.

00:19:19.000 So a lot of people are pointing it out, but let me, let me do this.

00:19:21.000 Here's PayPal's actual user agreement.

00:19:24.000 It says, if you are a, this is current right now, I just Googled it.

00:19:27.000 If you are a current seller and receive funds for transactions that violate the acceptable use policy, then in addition to being subject to the above actions, you will be liable to PayPal for the amount of PayPal's damages caused by your violations of the acceptable use policy.

00:19:41.000 You acknowledge and agree that $2,500 USD per violation of the AUP is presently a reasonable minimum estimate of PayPal's actual damages, including but not limited to internal administrative costs incurred, blah blah blah.

00:19:55.000 So there it is.

00:19:57.000 They're not saying right now they are going to deduct it from your account.

00:20:01.000 But it is there.

00:20:03.000 And right now, so this is an archive from two years ago which basically says the exact same thing.

00:20:10.000 You acknowledge and agree that $2,500 per violation is reasonable minimum estimate.

00:20:17.000 Here's what they determine currently to be unacceptable.

00:20:20.000 The promotion of hate, violence, racial, other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory or the financial exploitation of a crime.

00:20:28.000 So of course, that's at their discretion.

00:20:30.000 So let me just stress right now...

00:20:33.000 And, you know, admittedly, this is at risk to us.

00:20:35.000 We still have many members of our website, TimCast.com, who are using PayPal.

00:20:40.000 If that's you, I recommend you sign up using Parallel Economy.

00:20:45.000 Send an email to members at TimCast.com.

00:20:48.000 We will do our best to help you get switched over.

00:20:51.000 It's not super easy, but we used to use PayPal.

00:20:54.000 We removed it from the website, but there are still many people who still do use it.

00:20:58.000 It's still there.

00:20:59.000 If you are using PayPal, you need to find an alternative.

00:21:04.000 I recommend Parallel Economy.

00:21:06.000 That's Dan Bongino's company.

00:21:08.000 They got a lot of work to do to get set up.

00:21:09.000 It's not as easy with, you know, PayPal, you click, you open account, it's done.

00:21:12.000 That's why they dominate.

00:21:13.000 But we've got to get away from this stuff because right now, they said it right there, you agree that $2,500 is reasonable damages if you espouse discriminatory speech.

00:21:23.000 What does that mean?

00:21:24.000 Does that mean if I say something like, on average, I would prefer a male firefighter to save me over a female one? 0.99

00:21:31.000 Look, I'm not going to play games.

00:21:33.000 I think it doesn't matter if you're a male or a female if you want to be a firefighter, but on average, based on muscle mass, bone density, and height, it's probably going to be you preferring a male.

00:21:42.000 What I mean by that is, There are six-foot-tall women who are super strong. 1.00

00:21:46.000 I'll tell you this.

00:21:47.000 I would rather see a six-foot-tall woman than a five-foot-tall man if I was trapped in a burning building and needed help. 0.99

00:21:53.000 However, typically, you're going to see the height skew.

00:21:56.000 Men are going to be taller and more muscle mass.

00:21:58.000 If I say that, was PayPal going to boot us from our website?

00:22:01.000 Are they going to kick off our customers?

00:22:03.000 Are they going to charge me now $2,500 per customer? 1.00

00:22:05.000 What is this stupid game? 1.00

00:22:06.000 Well, it's per violation. 0.99

00:22:08.000 And they're saying that if you, one of the things they're saying is that if you incur damage to PayPal's brand, so if I tell people to cancel their PayPal account, I'm technically, they could say, hey, every time that that was uttered, every play that video had, if I have 10,000 views, every one of those views counts towards an instance of the violation of of denouncing our brand, like, I'm canceling my PayPal account tonight.

00:22:32.000 I've been using it for 20 years, I'm done with it.

00:22:34.000 And I want to stress, it does say PayPal may deduct such damages directly from any existing balance in any PayPal account you control.

00:22:42.000 So let me stress, right now at PayPal.com, they say they may deduct at minimum $2,500 if you engage in a variety of activities including discriminatory speech, promotion of hate, Yeah, now who gets to decide what is discriminatory speech?

00:23:00.000 Who gets to decide what is, quote, hate?

00:23:03.000 Why are these rules so general, vague, and to the point where it could be interpreted in so many different ways?

00:23:09.000 They do that because, again, this is akin to a social credit score.

00:23:12.000 They know PayPal is one of the biggest online banking institutions on the entire internet, and right now they're saying, we can do whatever we want.

00:23:20.000 We want to steal money from you?

00:23:22.000 We will, which is absolutely crazy.

00:23:23.000 Will they fine me for having a PayPal account right now?

00:23:26.000 Maybe, who knows?

00:23:27.000 That's how vague these rules are.

00:23:29.000 And again, PayPal has been becoming more of an activist organization more and more.

00:23:33.000 They work with the SPLC, a discredited organization that has been successfully sued before for defaming people, for lying about people.

00:23:42.000 They actually moved out of North Carolina because North Carolina decided to have a policy where they said biological sex individuals, People have to use bathrooms based on their biological sex, so they're acting more and more like an organization that wants to, of course, play political games and push their political ideas, rather than, of course, just be a bank.

00:24:02.000 Just be a bank, for freak's sakes.

00:24:04.000 It's not that hard.

00:24:05.000 I just want to point out, it's funny that this policy has been in place for years.

00:24:09.000 And no one knew it was gonna but but it's like, nobody actually read the terms of in condition.

00:24:14.000 It was kind of like when Zuckerberg went on Rogan was like, yeah, the FBI asked us to censor.

00:24:18.000 And no one really like it was obvious.

00:24:20.000 We all kind of knew that for the last few years since he testified.

00:24:22.000 But it was like, I think mines tweeted out Bill Altman tweeted it out.

00:24:25.000 It was like, yo, everyone, focus on this because that's crazy.

00:24:28.000 Well, everyone focus on this PayPal clause.

00:24:31.000 Can they did they say they can also take $2,500 out of your bank account out of your PayPal account.

00:24:35.000 It also says items that are considered obscene.

00:24:39.000 Obscene by who?

00:24:40.000 Yeah, really?

00:24:41.000 Like, I don't even want to start talking about sexual toys.

00:24:45.000 The other layer here is not just, all right, what are they going to punish here?

00:24:49.000 Discriminatory speech, hate speech, but damage to their brand, which they're saying, well, we can't really tell you what the damage to our brand is, so we're going to put in this little liquidated damages clause for $2,500.

00:25:00.000 So not only are they determining What's hate speech, what's discriminatory, but also what's damaging to their brand.

00:25:07.000 Which, none of it's going to be damaging to their brand, but they put that in there as just another layer for them to enforce it and say, this is why we need to do it.

00:25:15.000 These rules are damaging to their brand.

00:25:17.000 It also says, Luke, you might want to earmuffs this one.

00:25:20.000 It says, content that relates to transactions involving ammunition, firearms, or certain firearm parts or accessories.

00:25:28.000 Blasphemy!

00:25:29.000 Absolutely horrible!

00:25:30.000 I mean, that right there just shows you how much of a political organization that they are, how they're just playing, again, social justice warrior politics that they're trying to push for the forefront.

00:25:41.000 In reality, people just want to bank.

00:25:42.000 People just want to use finance.

00:25:43.000 People just want to be able to trade and barter and, of course, make money and sell money and sell products.

00:25:49.000 Why are we having to deal with all this nonsense?

00:25:52.000 Why are they putting these rules into place?

00:25:54.000 That's a question that I think a lot of PayPal users should be asking themselves today.

00:25:58.000 I used to feel like I needed a PayPal account because paying online was really a hassle.

00:26:02.000 I'd have to put in my bank card, I'd have to put in this.

00:26:04.000 Now, that data's saved for me.

00:26:06.000 I don't need to go through.

00:26:07.000 It's like, do I want to pay with my card that's saved in Steam, or do I want to pay with PayPal?

00:26:11.000 It's like 50-50 coin toss.

00:26:12.000 I don't need PayPal.

00:26:14.000 I don't need it for anything at the moment.

00:26:15.000 Nothing.

00:26:16.000 And then they have things like Stripe, which are doing the exact same function.

00:26:20.000 Newer.

00:26:20.000 Better.

00:26:21.000 Privately owned.

00:26:23.000 That's why we use Stripe.

00:26:25.000 We default Parallel Economy, so if you want to become a member at TimCast.com, using Parallel Economy supports the company, which is Dan Bongino's company.

00:26:33.000 We use Rumble infrastructure for everything, and you support us directly.

00:26:36.000 I'm very excited about Parallel Economy.

00:26:39.000 I got a question.

00:26:39.000 I see a copy of Genderqueer there.

00:26:42.000 Does that mean that somebody would violate PayPal's rules if they sell that book or promote that book online?

00:26:49.000 Well, it's only determined by the people that are running PayPal, unfortunately.

00:26:53.000 No, technically yes, but it does say sexually oriented materials or services.

00:26:58.000 Well, it says certain, but it's obscene.

00:27:01.000 A lot of people consider that obscene.

00:27:03.000 So if someone, if they use PayPal to transact for that, wait, can't you use PayPal for Amazon or no?

00:27:08.000 Can you?

00:27:08.000 I think so.

00:27:09.000 Yeah, I think you can.

00:27:10.000 Oh, we got a problem here, PayPal.

00:27:12.000 Amazon is outright violating your policies because Amazon sells a whole lot.

00:27:17.000 I haven't used it in a while, but I'm going to do it right now and see if I can pull up a PayPal.

00:27:20.000 Cool.

00:27:21.000 Man, I've had PayPal for 20 years.

00:27:22.000 Why are these companies getting political?

00:27:25.000 PayPal's always been bad.

00:27:26.000 Well, Elon started the thing.

00:27:28.000 Elon and what's his name?

00:27:29.000 Peter Thiel.

00:27:30.000 Peter Thiel.

00:27:31.000 That's how they exploded onto the scene.

00:27:33.000 Well, that's how they got a lot of their original money.

00:27:36.000 Can you buy using PayPal, Ian, on Amazon?

00:27:40.000 You gotta be able to, right?

00:27:41.000 I don't think so.

00:27:42.000 I don't know.

00:27:43.000 I'm not sure.

00:27:44.000 There's also a lot of gun accessories on Amazon as well that are available to purchase.

00:27:49.000 But I think a lot of this correlates with the ESG score.

00:27:53.000 It could be people at PayPal being like, hey, we want more investment money.

00:27:56.000 Hey, we want more Federal Reserve BlackRock money.

00:27:59.000 Hey, how do we do that?

00:28:01.000 Let's just do exactly what they want us to do and implement the ESG social credit score system where of course we comply, we push all the woke nonsense, we push all the politicking onto the individuals and we make sure that of course we play along with the game that the globalists and other centralized bankers want us to play.

00:28:20.000 I do not see PayPal on Amazon, to be honest.

00:28:26.000 Maybe not.

00:28:27.000 Because otherwise they'd be violating their own policies.

00:28:30.000 Let's talk about the solutions, man.

00:28:32.000 Solutions, baby.

00:28:33.000 Let's take a look at this story here.

00:28:34.000 From TimCast.com, Elon Musk tweets video entering Twitter headquarters, updates bio to chief twit As deal nears closing, this is huge.

00:28:45.000 Let me, let's see if I can, uh, you can't really see the video, it's very small.

00:28:48.000 But it's just, uh, Elon Musk laughing as he carries a sink into Twitter.

00:28:55.000 And he says, entering Twitter HQ, let that sink in.

00:28:59.000 Haha.

00:29:01.000 Now I get it.

00:29:01.000 Wow.

00:29:02.000 He's the cheesiest dad jokes, man.

00:29:04.000 But he earned it.

00:29:06.000 So, he's not throwing the kitchen sink at it.

00:29:08.000 This is about let it sink in.

00:29:09.000 This is all for the joke?

00:29:11.000 I guess.

00:29:12.000 Is he gonna wash the dishes?

00:29:14.000 Is he gonna clean the place up?

00:29:15.000 I mean, is it all these... He's gonna fire 75% of the staff.

00:29:18.000 Did you see the demands?

00:29:19.000 They sent a demand to Elon Musk. 0.96

00:29:21.000 Yeah, they were ludicrous.

00:29:22.000 But they weren't asking him to do stuff.

00:29:23.000 They were just demanding that he does stuff.

00:29:25.000 What were the demands?

00:29:26.000 Don't fire us.

00:29:28.000 Let us work from home, I think, was another one.

00:29:30.000 Don't be racist, was one of them.

00:29:31.000 Don't stop us from working from home.

00:29:33.000 Don't be politically biased.

00:29:34.000 That was my favorite one.

00:29:35.000 Oh, wow.

00:29:36.000 See, that's exactly what it is.

00:29:37.000 Colin Wright tweeted this.

00:29:38.000 He was like, it's going to be funny when all the woke left flip and now demand the government intervene to stop private companies from setting their own rules.

00:29:47.000 Demand preservance of benefits.

00:29:50.000 Demand leadership, ensure fair severance for all workers.

00:29:55.000 Demand, transparent, prompt, thoughtful communication around the working conditions.

00:29:58.000 Some of these you would think he's going to do anyway, but as soon as you start demanding of your owner, like what?

00:30:02.000 You know what he should do?

00:30:04.000 He should turn off Twitter from like, I don't know what, like five to seven every night.

00:30:10.000 He just turns it off.

00:30:11.000 That'd be great.

00:30:12.000 And it's like, everybody, you have to watch something else.

00:30:14.000 You can't use Twitter.

00:30:15.000 Go read a book.

00:30:16.000 Go read a book.

00:30:16.000 Yeah, he turns it off for two hours.

00:30:18.000 Calm down, everybody.

00:30:19.000 And then everyone just starts like shaking and they're getting, ah!

00:30:22.000 No, if he did that, they just go to Instagram or something.

00:30:24.000 Oh, they demand that he preserves the current headcount.

00:30:27.000 They demand that he doesn't fire them.

00:30:29.000 What in the heck kind of demand is that?

00:30:30.000 You know, I'm really jealous of Elon Musk.

00:30:32.000 You know why?

00:30:32.000 Because he gets to fire these people.

00:30:34.000 Like, just imagine how much fun that would be.

00:30:38.000 Imagine you're Elon and you walk into Twitter HQ, and you get to walk through the whole building.

00:30:44.000 You're a billionaire, so you can fly in a private jet to any one of your satellite offices, and you get to walk through and just look someone right in the eye and go, you.

00:30:52.000 Get out.

00:30:53.000 That's lucky, you know?

00:30:55.000 These people making the demands, I mean, what were their home lives like when they were kids?

00:30:59.000 Were they making demands of their parents?

00:31:01.000 Were their parents, you know, just fully saying, sure, probably, yeah, right?

00:31:05.000 I mean, we see lots of parents doing that.

00:31:07.000 Snowplow parenting.

00:31:09.000 When the parents bulldoze everything out of the path of the kid, so these kids grew up with no obstacles, and they expect to be handed everything.

00:31:16.000 That's why they're confused the government isn't just giving them free food.

00:31:20.000 It's why they say things like, there's more empty houses than homeless people, so let's just put them in the empty houses.

00:31:25.000 And then you're like, do you know what 1 plus 1 equals? 0.68

00:31:29.000 You put a mentally ill person in a house. 1.00

00:31:32.000 How long until the house burns down, falls apart?

00:31:34.000 Who's supporting or sustaining it?

00:31:35.000 Who's paying taxes?

00:31:36.000 Who's funding it?

00:31:37.000 Who's going to cover the cost of the fire department?

00:31:38.000 These people don't think these things through!

00:31:40.000 And it's because their parents walk them through everything without giving them any obstacles.

00:31:44.000 And participation trophies everywhere they go.

00:31:46.000 One of the things Elon's talked about is not letting people remote into work as much and I worked social media and I found like that was the best part of the job was being able to work from home on my own time limit and we didn't have to be in the office together so it was like and then we actually we got an office in Brooklyn and it was just an expenditure we didn't need it we found out after a year we're like why do we even have this thing we don't need it So, I don't know.

00:32:09.000 I hope that he's open to letting people work remote, but he thinks that... I think what he said is that if people aren't there to have oversight over, that they don't work properly, and that might be a good argument.

00:32:19.000 Why let people work remote?

00:32:21.000 I mean, I understand there's some circumstances where it's probably fine, but most people probably shouldn't.

00:32:25.000 Commuting is lengthy, it's time-consuming and expensive.

00:32:28.000 Too bad.

00:32:28.000 And so is having an office if you don't need one.

00:32:30.000 If you don't want to be here, you probably shouldn't be.

00:32:33.000 That's what I always say.

00:32:34.000 So, you know, if there's somebody who's like, man, I want to work at the company, but I'd rather not be there, I'll be like, well, then you're not going to work here.

00:32:40.000 I don't get it.

00:32:41.000 Like, you want people who are passionate about the project they're working on.

00:32:46.000 Oh, yeah, for sure.

00:32:47.000 So right now you have Millennials and Gen Z quiet quitting.

00:32:49.000 Have you guys heard of this?

00:32:51.000 Yeah, they're basically like, it's a combination of ideas.

00:32:54.000 One way I've heard it described when they're trying to make it politically correct is, it's not not working.

00:33:01.000 It's just doing exactly what you're asked.

00:33:04.000 And it's like, okay, well, that's nothing.

00:33:05.000 That's called doing your job.

00:33:07.000 What we're saying is don't go above and beyond.

00:33:09.000 It's like, okay, yeah, well, no one's making you do that.

00:33:11.000 Some might ask you, but if you don't want to, fine.

00:33:14.000 But typically, quiet quitting was referring to people who were quitting working without saying anything to keep getting paid as long as possible until they got fired.

00:33:22.000 That's the mentality of these people.

00:33:23.000 So, that's what's happening right now at Twitter.

00:33:26.000 A good majority of people who work there probably do not do work.

00:33:30.000 Wasn't that the Veritas thing?

00:33:31.000 That audio where someone's like, I work four hours a week?

00:33:35.000 This is going to be very exciting.

00:33:37.000 I'm optimistic about this.

00:33:39.000 I'm skeptical, because the man still wants to sell robots and put brain chips inside of your skull.

00:33:44.000 But at the same time, he did tweet today that he's, quote, a big fan of citizen journalism.

00:33:49.000 He also tweeted how citizen journalism is dismantling the establishment bias, and then went on a tirade and went as far as to even call the New York Times a, quote, chaotic actor causing problems in our society.

00:34:00.000 So he didn't say that exactly.

00:34:02.000 He said that, you know, Just in the general sense of what he was saying here so so I'm excited for what he's going to be doing.

00:34:08.000 I'm excited for the opportunities that are going to be presented because he's he's essentially promising free speech.

00:34:15.000 He's essentially saying hey the establishment has gotten it wrong.

00:34:18.000 A lot of people have been censored before we need free speech more than ever.

00:34:22.000 I'm willing to put.

00:34:23.000 Billions of dollars into this.

00:34:25.000 What's going to be the result of this?

00:34:27.000 I don't know.

00:34:27.000 I hope it's going to at least help mend a lot of the bigger problems in our society, because I think it can, because the larger divide and conquer agenda that has been pushed on everyone, the larger disinformation, the larger censorship efforts have been causing a net negative towards our society.

00:34:43.000 You could solve all of that just by allowing people to talk freely, and with him already cheering on citizen journalism, independent journalism, trying to, of course, promote people who are trying to hold big powers accountable, highlights how this could potentially be something that could be amazing and world-changing.

00:35:01.000 Yeah, I think that one of the things that'll happen is that Twitter, Parler, when Kanye buys Parler, and Mines, with Bill Altman's Mines, are going to federate and interoperate, start to interoperate, along with Rumble, Chris Pavlovsky's Rumble, which is already working with Starlink to interlink their servers and Starlink's networking capabilities to get global internet.

00:35:20.000 And actually, Solar internet.

00:35:22.000 Like, we're gonna have a planet-to-planet.

00:35:24.000 We're gonna have interplanetary internet.

00:35:25.000 And you have all these networks start to be able to interoperate.

00:35:27.000 Jack Dorsey wants Twitter to be a protocol.

00:35:30.000 Meaning that you're unbannable, it's decentralized, everybody can post, no one has control over what you say.

00:35:35.000 And the only thing that can happen is if it's illegal, then the police can deal with it.

00:35:39.000 If Elon Musk does implement that, we know that Jack Dorsey was talking with him behind the scenes before he decided to buy this, then there's a strong possibility Elon does move towards making it a protocol.

00:35:49.000 It does then merge, in a sense, with Mines as a node, or with Rumble, Gab, Parler, TruthSocial even.

00:35:57.000 And then the way it would work is, and this is the way it absolutely should be, you have a Twitter account.

00:36:03.000 It's Twitter servers.

00:36:04.000 So they could ban you on their server.

00:36:07.000 But if you turn it into a protocol, your username goes onto whichever server you want it to be on.

00:36:12.000 So if you're using Gab's servers, you know they're not going to ban you unless you dock someone or violate or break the law.

00:36:18.000 So you're like, I'd rather be hosted there.

00:36:21.000 But I'm on Twitter.

00:36:22.000 I can follow Ian at Gab.com.

00:36:25.000 And then I get Ian's tweets on Twitter, even though he's posting on Gab.

00:36:29.000 And Twitter has no say in it.

00:36:30.000 It's almost like reverse RSS, I suppose.

00:36:32.000 It could be.

00:36:33.000 That's the way it should be.

00:36:34.000 He's also talking about allowing end-to-end encryption when it comes to private messages.

00:36:38.000 And as an independent content creator, as an independent journalist, I'm going to pretty much go all in.

00:36:44.000 I'm going to invest my time, and I think this is going to also move the market in a way that I think is worth talking about.

00:36:51.000 Because if you have a platform Providing free speech, providing something that all the other big tech social media platforms aren't providing, he's going to push the needle.

00:36:59.000 He's going to be very competitive in the market because now Facebook, Instagram, all these other large corporations, Google, YouTube, we're going to be looking at him like, hey, we can't hide the cat in the bag anymore.

00:37:10.000 Hey, you know, these ideas are still being expressed.

00:37:13.000 They're not being censored here.

00:37:14.000 The more we censor them, the more obvious it becomes.

00:37:17.000 Because now on Twitter, we have a platform that, of course, is allowing the truth to actually get out there, allowing real conversations to get out there without an algorithm, without bannings, without censorship, without restrictions on speech.

00:37:31.000 This is going to, I think, in my opinion, if this is done as Elon Musk says he wants it to be done, shift the market in a net positive when it comes to overall freedoms and speech.

00:37:40.000 I just gotta throw this out there because I would be, I have to.

00:37:45.000 Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, me, let's talk about Twitter's rules, censorship.

00:37:52.000 It'll be the Twitter Rogan episode 2.0.

00:37:55.000 I obviously, you know, I'd love to make that happen because I'm the lowest on the totem

00:37:59.000 pole of them.

00:38:00.000 Elon, of course, the richest guy on the planet, Joe Rogan, the biggest podcast on the planet, and then the little old me.

00:38:04.000 So I'll say, you know, hey, come on guys, like, let's get a show going.

00:38:08.000 I'd imagine they probably care very little, but I do think it would be really epic to sit down and discuss Twitter's internal policies, plans, bias, censorship.

00:38:18.000 Imagine this.

00:38:19.000 If you guys watched when I was on Joe Rogan, this was back in like 2019 with Vijay Gowdy and Jack Dorsey, and everything I said and everything they said, give Elon Musk a month or two of actually going through the internals, then sitting back down and saying, okay Elon, which of what they said was true and which of what they said was a lie?

00:38:38.000 And then have Elon just be like, oh they said this, That was a lie.

00:38:41.000 They said this, that was a lie.

00:38:43.000 And then to go through policy, procedure, philosophy, ideology, it would be incredible.

00:38:48.000 But we're also going to find out what was, I think this is a big possibility, finding out how else was Twitter manipulated.

00:38:54.000 We're going to find out about the bots.

00:38:55.000 We're going to find out what they were doing.

00:38:56.000 We're going to find out about their algorithm.

00:38:58.000 We're going to see what an uncontrolled social media platform is, unless the FBI, DOJ, and U.S.

00:39:04.000 intelligence agencies come to Elon Musk and kind of proverbially put the gun to him and say, hey, you're going to do what we want you to do.

00:39:10.000 Look at this, Drew Hernandez says, apparently leftists are fleeing to this new Twitter alternative called Tribal Social Network.

00:39:17.000 Wow, dude.

00:39:17.000 They've posted that they don't censor, they just have an algorithm that bans bigotry.

00:39:22.000 It's like, okay dude, like, go for it, I don't care.

00:39:26.000 So you could say 2 plus 2 equals 5?

00:39:29.000 That's right.

00:39:29.000 All right.

00:39:30.000 I don't know.

00:39:31.000 It's entertaining.

00:39:32.000 I want to piggyback off of your idea from earlier, Tim, about being able to log into your Twitter account and follow me on Mines, for instance.

00:39:38.000 And I think it'll even be better than that in that you'll be able to log... Basically, your account will be your wallet.

00:39:44.000 It'll be like your crypto wallet, like a MetaMask account or something like that.

00:39:48.000 And you'll log into social networks with your wallet.

00:39:50.000 And that will also help you bypass things like PayPal, or your bank like a banks and things like that these these weird like top-down authority figures trying to eyeball your accounts and it'll it'll it'll create kind of a parallel economy so to speak a parallel culture yeah for sure it's like the fist coming breaking out of the ground of dirt you know it's it's awesome

00:40:13.000 Alright, let's talk politics, man.

00:40:13.000 I'm down.

00:40:15.000 Let's get into it, because last night we sat here begrudgingly listening to John Fetterman fail to speak.

00:40:20.000 Terrible.

00:40:20.000 It was horrifying.

00:40:21.000 It was horrifying.

00:40:22.000 And now we have this from TimCast.com.

00:40:24.000 Supporters double down on Fetterman.

00:40:26.000 Accused critics of ableism and bullying.

00:40:30.000 Did you guys see the view clips?

00:40:32.000 When they were like, I thought the Hippocratic Oath was do no harm.

00:40:35.000 Dr. Oz was bullying Fetterman.

00:40:37.000 Bullying?

00:40:38.000 He was having a debate.

00:40:39.000 It's a political debate.

00:40:40.000 He's supposed to be like, you're wrong, John.

00:40:42.000 At any point, did Dr. Oz say Fetterman has brain damage?

00:40:47.000 No.

00:40:48.000 What are they talking about?

00:40:49.000 These people have lost the plot. 0.93

00:40:50.000 They're willing to put in a guy who clearly, his brain does not work.

00:40:55.000 Welcome to modern politics. 0.81

00:40:56.000 I suppose they hate you so much.

00:40:59.000 And I mean this.

00:41:00.000 There's not an emotional dig or anything.

00:41:01.000 It's factual.

00:41:03.000 They hate Republicans.

00:41:04.000 They hate Trump.

00:41:06.000 They hate MAGA to the degree that they would vote for someone like John Fetterman.

00:41:10.000 Did you watch the debate?

00:41:11.000 Oh, I absolutely watched the debate.

00:41:14.000 It was tough to watch.

00:41:15.000 I mean, you know, we're talking about somebody that's gonna be one of a hundred senators in the United States Senate, potentially, that said he's going to vote, you know, to break the filibuster, to end the legislative filibuster.

00:41:27.000 And this is someone who cannot answer a question on his point of view for fracking and explain Were you lying then?

00:41:35.000 Are you lying now?

00:41:36.000 Or did your position evolve?

00:41:37.000 We got no answer.

00:41:38.000 I mean, we got a long pause, no answer, and for people to say, well, it's ableism.

00:41:43.000 I mean, the same people that said, you know, when Mike Pence was debating Kamala Harris, you know, if he challenged her on something, well, then that was mansplaining.

00:41:51.000 It's the same thing if you're conservative, and you actually argue your points, and they can somehow, you know, turn it into, well, we really can't argue what you said, or that argument isn't really gonna work, so we're gonna, you know, say you're mansplaining, you're an ableist, you're racist, you're insurrectionist, whatever.

00:42:10.000 I mean, just pick from the cookie jar of things that are out there.

00:42:13.000 What is ableism?

00:42:15.000 It's discrimination against someone who is differently abled.

00:42:19.000 I'm gonna make an ableist t-shirt out of all these discussions about ableists.

00:42:23.000 2 plus 2 equals 5, you ableist.

00:42:25.000 I'm gonna make an able fold shirt that only has like one or no sleeves.

00:42:32.000 Well, as I understand ableism, it's... I wasn't supposed to be a joke.

00:42:35.000 I'm like, are there people who have, like, one arm?

00:42:38.000 You know, do they wear shirts with an empty sleeve?

00:42:40.000 Like, are there shirts that just don't have one?

00:42:42.000 I mean, that'd be cool, right?

00:42:43.000 It would be cool, actually.

00:42:44.000 Yeah, able... not ableist?

00:42:46.000 What's... I guess that... Yeah, that's the thing.

00:42:47.000 They're still able.

00:42:48.000 Those people are still able.

00:42:48.000 The whole disabled, like, yeah, things might be more challenging, but you're still able.

00:42:52.000 Right.

00:42:52.000 You know, you still got your abilities.

00:42:53.000 But that's the PC idea.

00:42:55.000 Disabled just referred to someone who has a disability.

00:42:59.000 They used to call them cripple.

00:43:00.000 I mean, the word... They call them invalids.

00:43:02.000 Yeah, the words have evolved over the years.

00:43:05.000 George Carlin nailed it.

00:43:06.000 You guys ever see that bit where he's like, post-traumatic stress disorder.

00:43:11.000 We used to call it shell shock.

00:43:13.000 But then the words keep getting more and more verbose, the phrases get longer and longer.

00:43:18.000 I think he mentions invalid.

00:43:20.000 But then people are like, no, no, no, you can't say that.

00:43:22.000 That means invalid.

00:43:23.000 We can't say that.

00:43:24.000 So then they create new words like retarded, but then apparently those become offensive.

00:43:29.000 And now there's disabled, meaning you have a disability.

00:43:33.000 It just meant like you didn't have, your hand was injured, your foot was injured, your eye, your ear, because on average, a person has two eyes, two ears, two arms, two feet, two legs, et cetera.

00:43:43.000 And now that's offensive.

00:43:44.000 So now it's, you're not disabled. 0.96

00:43:45.000 You're just differently abled. 0.62

00:43:47.000 That's not true, man.

00:43:48.000 Come on. 1.00

00:43:49.000 This PC is so dumb. 0.99

00:43:50.000 If the average person has two hands, and then someone loses a hand that's not differently abled, it's disabled. 1.00

00:43:58.000 What's the deal?

00:43:59.000 I guess if someone's born with three hands, they're more abled?

00:44:02.000 Whatever.

00:44:03.000 It just depends on how society's geared to function, because if you have like 27 hands, that's a form of a disability, because it'd be hard to navigate.

00:44:10.000 No way!

00:44:10.000 Well the PC progression language...

00:44:12.000 You could climb trees and stuff.

00:44:13.000 You nailed it, right?

00:44:14.000 So I remember 20 years ago, I'm in law school, reading a case, Oliver Wendell Holmes, he's

00:44:19.000 going through the categories of mentally disabled people at the time, at the time which is, 1.00

00:44:23.000 you know, the early 1900s, and you had moron, idiot, and imbecile. 1.00

00:44:28.000 And those are the three different categories. 1.00

00:44:30.000 But then they became associated with, you know, you can't use those anymore.

00:44:34.000 So then they came up with the term mentally retarded, right?

00:44:37.000 That eventually, now you can't use that.

00:44:39.000 So we move on to something else.

00:44:40.000 And then whatever we're on now... Neurodivergent.

00:44:42.000 Yeah, you're not going to be able to use that in 20 years.

00:44:44.000 That's going to be over, you know, that's going to be over too.

00:44:47.000 So we'll find out a new term.

00:44:48.000 Well, so neurodivergent is what they use for mental ailments, but the problem with that is divergent implies not normal, so you can't say that.

00:44:59.000 I'm setting it early.

00:45:01.000 Let's make neurodivergent extremely offensive because it implies there are people who are not normal.

00:45:07.000 You're not divergent.

00:45:08.000 You are the way God created you, right?

00:45:10.000 There's no word you can use for anything where you cannot find something offensive.

00:45:13.000 Right, exactly.

00:45:14.000 If you're one of those people that are perpetually offended, you're going to get offended by every word that is either in the dictionary now or will be in the next, you know, millennia.

00:45:22.000 My favorite was, uh, Wimixen and women. 1.00

00:45:25.000 Do you know about the Wimixen thing?

00:45:27.000 No.

00:45:28.000 So it's woman, but... Oh, yeah, yeah. 0.96

00:45:30.000 Instead of E-N, it's X-N, and they said the X means it's inclusive of all Women, and then people were like, what do you mean inclusive all women?

00:45:38.000 Women are women. 1.00

00:45:39.000 And they were like, oh, but like, Wemexin means, you know, like, women of color and trans women.

00:45:43.000 And then other leftists were like, are you saying that they aren't women and don't just fall under the word woman?

00:45:48.000 And then fighting broke out.

00:45:50.000 One organization said not using the X was offensive.

00:45:53.000 The other said using it was offensive.

00:45:54.000 Then somebody used an I, then somebody used a Y, and then here we are.

00:45:58.000 Got no idea.

00:45:59.000 This is, look, this is idle hands, devil's playground.

00:46:01.000 These people have nothing to do with their lives.

00:46:03.000 They have no skills, no talents, no passions. 0.99

00:46:05.000 So they make up fake garbage to fight for because they have nothing else. 0.99

00:46:09.000 They have no great war. 0.99

00:46:10.000 They have no great challenge.

00:46:12.000 That's it.

00:46:12.000 Many of them don't have kids.

00:46:13.000 If they had kids, they'd be too busy to be doing these things.

00:46:16.000 They need a boogeyman. 0.91

00:46:17.000 If they don't have a boogeyman, they have no one to fight.

00:46:19.000 And since, you know, there's a more demand for sexism, racism, than there actually is supply of it, and I think that's very clear, especially with this latest kind of bastardization of our language, especially when you see just how Newspeak it is, how Orwellian it is, exactly almost from 1984.

00:46:39.000 But back on the Fetterman kind of topic... Did you see this real quick?

00:46:42.000 No, I didn't.

00:46:42.000 That Fetterman blamed the captioning device?

00:46:45.000 Oh, wow.

00:46:46.000 Okay, I'm just going to say it, because I've been saying this.

00:46:48.000 The captioning device isn't going to work.

00:46:50.000 The technology is not that advanced.

00:46:52.000 It is hard for computers to transcribe voice-to-text well.

00:46:56.000 So I knew this was going to happen.

00:46:59.000 They're blaming it.

00:47:00.000 Nexstar came back out and said, hey, we gave you the special technology you asked for.

00:47:04.000 I'm going to put it this way.

00:47:06.000 Federman's campaign said the captions were filled with errors.

00:47:10.000 Right there.

00:47:11.000 Filled with errors.

00:47:11.000 Okay.

00:47:12.000 You should not be in that job.

00:47:14.000 Because there's no technology better than the live news captioning system.

00:47:17.000 It's like having someone's blurry vision be a fighter pilot.

00:47:20.000 You wouldn't do it.

00:47:20.000 What was very interesting is seeing Federman raise almost a million dollars from his performance last night.

00:47:27.000 I actually watched Philip DeFranco and he talked about this.

00:47:29.000 He admitted he didn't do that well, but he really wants him to win.

00:47:33.000 That's what he said in his broadcast.

00:47:34.000 DeFranco said that?

00:47:34.000 DeFranco said that today in his broadcast.

00:47:36.000 What is wrong with these people?

00:47:37.000 And then DeFranco and Hassan both today were talking about how horrible Dr. Oz is because Dr. Oz didn't allow journalists to actually record the screen that actually projected the words on there and they weren't able to fact-check exactly what was on there and it's Dr. Oz that's responsible.

00:47:54.000 Why is he responsible?

00:47:56.000 They're pointing the finger at him because he denied Federman to have journalists looking at the screen to fact-check that it was accurate.

00:48:04.000 That's the argument that they're making.

00:48:05.000 People forget how cutthroat things are in the world sometimes.

00:48:09.000 I don't know, what about playing softball for global political dominance is not a victory strategy.

00:48:16.000 Look, you guys ready?

00:48:18.000 You got your shot glasses ready?

00:48:19.000 This is why I've been talking about Civil War for so long.

00:48:22.000 A sane, rational human being is looking at the facts and saying, please, I want to be correct.

00:48:28.000 You know, what do I—if I make a mistake, let me know.

00:48:31.000 These people don't do that.

00:48:32.000 For Phil DeFranco to come out—I'm sorry, Phil, not just you, but for anyone to come out and be like, Fetterman actually did—it wasn't that bad, you know?

00:48:38.000 There's like Slate wrote, actually, Fetterman did pretty well.

00:48:42.000 The Philly Enquirer saying he did great, like, yo.

00:48:45.000 And he's sane human.

00:48:46.000 Watched that and went, wow.

00:48:48.000 Yeah, forget that he had a stroke.

00:48:50.000 Just watch it without the idea that he had a stroke.

00:48:52.000 DeFranco brought up that he didn't do that well, but he still, out of that performance, came out on his show and said, I really hope Federman wins.

00:48:59.000 That's my point. 0.96

00:49:00.000 They hate you so much, facts be damned. 0.91

00:49:04.000 They would put a man who can't understand words, can't speak, and would blame his assisted listening device. 0.96

00:49:11.000 Bro, if you...

00:49:13.000 They're tweeting out, as a senator, all you gotta do is say, yay or nay, so Fiderman can do the job.

00:49:17.000 That is not the job of a senator.

00:49:18.000 You have to represent the state to the federal government.

00:49:21.000 They are gutting and burning the system to the ground.

00:49:24.000 So I do not see a scenario where we move forward as a country, when you have these psychopaths saying, you know what, I don't wanna be on the outside, and I assume this is the inside, so I'm not backing away from this.

00:49:37.000 We're coming to a point where it's going to be clear as day.

00:49:41.000 With all the polling, with all the projections, let's assume they're right.

00:49:44.000 Maybe they're not.

00:49:45.000 Maybe Democrats really are going to win.

00:49:47.000 I have no idea.

00:49:48.000 If Republicans do win, if, and it's a landslide, and we see more of Democrats agreeing with Republicans and Independents, these people still will not back down because they're in a circular firing squad, as Obama calls it.

00:50:03.000 Phil DeFranco will never admit Federman should not be in office, and Dr. Oz is tepid, at the very least.

00:50:09.000 He's middle-of-the-road celebrity doctor.

00:50:12.000 Is that the worst you could do?

00:50:13.000 No, there's worse.

00:50:14.000 But he would rather save Federman because he knows he's got leftist activists with their finger on the flag button who are gonna ban him on social media unless he says what they demand he say.

00:50:25.000 I gotta bring it back to Jon Fetterman because, Jon, first of all, man, heal.

00:50:30.000 Heal up.

00:50:30.000 Your family needs you.

00:50:31.000 Your wife, your kids, they need you, man.

00:50:33.000 And, you know, do your best.

00:50:37.000 And if that means that you need to heal for three years, do it.

00:50:40.000 But, like, it's important to keep the compassion for Jon alive.

00:50:44.000 I want him to be healthy.

00:50:46.000 But I also, we're voting for a senator right now, so let's put all our cards on the table, forget about the past, look at that debate as is, without knowing any prior.

00:50:55.000 He has this past, she has this, he has this injury, like, Fetterman was stuttering and bumbling and vacant for much of it.

00:51:01.000 I don't want a senator that's stumbling, bumbling, and vacant.

00:51:04.000 And at one point, the moderator did say Oz.

00:51:07.000 Question, question, question, but it was actually meant for Jon Fetterman.

00:51:09.000 And there's a long pause, and Jon was like, oh, oh.

00:51:12.000 So that's on the moderator.

00:51:14.000 There's one instance where she said Oz and then asked Fetterman the question, and Jon was really confused.

00:51:20.000 It's about two-thirds of the way through the interview.

00:51:23.000 And maybe that's why he froze up, because he's reading!

00:51:25.000 There is one instance, but he froze up on other ones, too, where she directly asked him things.

00:51:28.000 There was a seven-second break in one question, where he just phrases like, And you can actually count, and I went on the timestamp.

00:51:35.000 It's the one where he goes, oh, and then answers it.

00:51:37.000 That's the one where she says Oz first.

00:51:39.000 Let me jump to this projection, because here it is right here from RealClearPolitics.

00:51:43.000 Battle for the Senate.

00:51:44.000 RealClearPolitics has Republicans winning 53 seats, Democrats 47.

00:51:48.000 Pennsylvania, they are saying Oz is going to win.

00:51:51.000 They're saying no question.

00:51:51.000 And no question.

00:51:53.000 They're also saying Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada.

00:51:57.000 There you go.

00:51:59.000 Well, you know, what's interesting about that 53 number is it's bad for Democrats, obviously, in 2022, but it's awful for Democrats in 2024, because that map is very disadvantageous for Democrats in 2024.

00:52:13.000 I mean, you look at places like New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Montana, Georgia, Georgia.

00:52:20.000 I don't know if Georgia is up in 2024, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, all those states.

00:52:25.000 They're going to lose more seats in two years.

00:52:26.000 They put up Federman.

00:52:27.000 He's going to be the guy that breaks the filibuster.

00:52:29.000 Republicans are going to need a filibuster after 2024 if things break their way in these next two election cycles. 1.00

00:52:35.000 Now, they may not, but you know, this is what happens.

00:52:38.000 I got it.

00:52:40.000 I really do think there are two things you can say to somebody.

00:52:43.000 Let's aim in 2024.

00:52:44.000 I don't know if it's possible.

00:52:46.000 Do you know how many Senate seats are up in 2024?

00:52:48.000 It's gotta be Democrat.

00:52:50.000 It's a third.

00:52:51.000 A third?

00:52:51.000 Okay, so it's possible that we could see 60 Republican seats?

00:52:54.000 We need what, like 63 or something?

00:52:57.000 Let's get 66 Republican seats in the Senate and then just, you know, run roughshod. 0.72

00:53:03.000 Just pass all the bills, ban all the garbage.

00:53:05.000 And I think maybe if you go to people right now and say gas prices, that's number one.

00:53:09.000 But the other thing is, while you're talking to people and you go like, gas prices are really, really hurting you, right?

00:53:16.000 Let me show you this, you know, I got this thing here about gas prices and like, oops, I accidentally press play on this video of Biden supporting sex changes for children.

00:53:24.000 I think those two issues are going to make people jump ship, because when CBS did their panel with the Democrat, Republican, and Independent, what did the Democrat woman say?

00:53:32.000 I've got a bunch of kids, and what's happening in these schools is bad, and I don't like it.

00:53:37.000 I was talking to my mother over the weekend.

00:53:38.000 I went back to her house, hung out for a few days, and Becky, I'm going to put you on blast! 1.00

00:53:42.000 I was like, you know, Biden grabbing young women and smelling them and like telling that one girl, wait till you're 30 before you get into a serious relationship. 0.98

00:53:49.000 Like that's scummy, dirty. 0.96

00:53:51.000 And if I went to the park and did that to a little kid, I'd probably get thrown in jail. 0.84

00:53:54.000 She's like, he did not.

00:53:55.000 So I showed her the video.

00:53:56.000 I showed her the picture.

00:53:57.000 She's like, he shouldn't be touching little kids.

00:54:01.000 He should not be.

00:54:02.000 But the media is not going to show you that.

00:54:04.000 It's up to us.

00:54:06.000 And that's why Elon buying Twitter.

00:54:07.000 That's an October surprise.

00:54:09.000 What if one week before the election, Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, Laura Loomer, Donald Trump, they all come back and then they're surfing on that red tsunami?

00:54:21.000 I wonder if that'll have an impact.

00:54:23.000 I mean, these are loud voices. I mean, there's a reason they were censored. There's a reason,

00:54:27.000 you know, not just right-wingers, but also people on the left. A lot of anti-establishment types were

00:54:32.000 censored because they're not censored because they were wrong. They're censored because they

00:54:35.000 were a threat towards the current narrative, towards the current agenda, and they needed

00:54:40.000 to silence those voices in order to make sure that their agenda, their narrative could go through it

00:54:45.000 without even question, without even being stopped at all.

00:54:49.000 And I think this is why we had so much lunacy during the last two and three years, because no one could have challenged it.

00:54:55.000 You challenged it, you got banned right away.

00:54:57.000 This is, again, why I see Twitter as a net positive Possibly moving forward.

00:55:02.000 Well, you know, it's interesting you talk about that focus group, right?

00:55:05.000 And people saying this stuff that's going on in schools.

00:55:09.000 Well, look, it's been out there for a long time now.

00:55:11.000 But it's just, it could never get traction on social media.

00:55:14.000 It could never get traction in the mainstream media because they didn't want to talk about it.

00:55:17.000 They didn't want to offend the far left that thought this was all great.

00:55:20.000 But where it all starts to come out is when you've got, you know, little Johnny with his Chromebook sitting home from school, and then mom and dad also sitting home from school working, and they're like, What?

00:55:30.000 We never heard about this!

00:55:31.000 And then people start digging in, and then you start activating all these people, and you cannot un-ring that bell right now.

00:55:38.000 And so that is an exact point when you have gas prices where they are, inflation where it is, you know, threat of war with Russia over Ukraine, and he's talking to, you know, a guy that's pretending to be a girl in the White House.

00:55:51.000 I mean, come on!

00:55:52.000 Who watches that and says— I think that person is faking it.

00:55:56.000 Dylan Mulvaney is intentionally trying to insult trans people and women, and there's nothing anyone can say to convince me otherwise.

00:56:04.000 Blair White said, no, I know people who know him, and, you know, Dylan is actually trans, and I'm like, there's no, like...

00:56:11.000 I just don't buy it.

00:56:12.000 I think Dylan Mulvaney's whole bit, and we've talked about it a couple times, is intentionally trying to insult trans people.

00:56:20.000 You look at these videos and you're like, look at videos of your average trans person, that is not what Dylan Mulvaney is doing.

00:56:28.000 Blair White is an example of a conservative, I think Blair's conservative, I assume, Trump-supporting, and then you look at ContraPoints, the two examples, left and right, they do not act like that.

00:56:37.000 This Dylan Mulvaney goes to the White House and says extremely offensive things.

00:56:40.000 Come on, like, Dylan Mulvaney made a video about how he's got a bulge and everyone was staring at it.

00:56:47.000 Like, that, I'm telling you, man, this person is trying to make trans people, to insult trans people, and Dylan's probably laughing every time he puts a video out. 0.97

00:56:57.000 Because conservatives are watching and saying, look how crazy they are! 0.91

00:57:01.000 And the left is being like, we better protect it. 1.00

00:57:03.000 It's like that teacher, you saw the high school teacher with the big fake tits? 1.00

00:57:07.000 Some people are suggesting that was a troll. 1.00

00:57:09.000 I saw that.

00:57:10.000 Maybe it was a troll, I'm like...

00:57:12.000 I wouldn't be surprised.

00:57:13.000 Oh, I mean, look, I gotta be honest, I mean, maybe society is collapsing, people are losing their minds, but I really think when you look at, there are a lot of people who are trans that are not prominent, and you might not even notice, and they've been around for a long time.

00:57:26.000 Then you look at Dylan and everyone assumes that's what trans is, and I'm like, no, Dylan is just intentionally, it's a character, it's a caricature, it's a mockery, it's akin to a minstrel show, and there's nothing anyone can say to convince me otherwise. 0.94

00:57:42.000 Blair White's not walking around talking about Barbie pouches. 0.99

00:57:45.000 Like, what is that even a word?

00:57:46.000 Hiking heels?

00:57:47.000 Dude.

00:57:48.000 She doesn't make her personality about her gender. 1.00

00:57:51.000 It's a show.

00:57:52.000 Dylan is doing a show.

00:57:53.000 It's fake, fake, fake.

00:57:55.000 Anyway, look, Luke, I gotta ask you this question.

00:57:57.000 Uh-oh.

00:57:58.000 Look at this map.

00:57:59.000 What am I pointing to right there?

00:58:00.000 What is that?

00:58:01.000 What color is that?

00:58:01.000 New Hampshire.

00:58:03.000 I don't know.

00:58:03.000 I might be colorblind.

00:58:04.000 I can't really... What color is it, Luke?

00:58:06.000 What is that?

00:58:07.000 What color is New Hampshire, Ian?

00:58:10.000 Who's the governor of New Hampshire?

00:58:11.000 It's blue.

00:58:12.000 It's blue?!

00:58:13.000 New Hampshire's blue.

00:58:14.000 How is New Hampshire voting a Democrat senator in?

00:58:16.000 Bernie Sanders.

00:58:17.000 No, he's Vermont.

00:58:18.000 He's Vermont!

00:58:18.000 I don't know.

00:58:19.000 And he's a dependent anyway.

00:58:20.000 Who runs that state?

00:58:21.000 I don't know much about that race that's happening in the Senate there, but I do know the governor there, Sununu.

00:58:26.000 Now here we have it.

00:58:27.000 Governor Red.

00:58:28.000 What happened?

00:58:29.000 New Hampshire.

00:58:30.000 I don't understand how you get a red governor and a blue... It's the Free State Project! 0.82

00:58:35.000 A lot of purple.

00:58:37.000 They call them mass holes.

00:58:38.000 A lot of people moving up from Massachusetts and changing the landscape there.

00:58:43.000 That's right.

00:58:43.000 I don't think it matters what political party you affiliate with, personally.

00:58:46.000 I want good people.

00:58:47.000 I don't care what label you slap on your shirt.

00:58:49.000 Hey, I'm still a big fan of the Free Stay Project.

00:58:51.000 I think they're doing incredible work, and I think a lot of them, especially with the homeschooling network down there, is doing incredible stuff that I think should be replicated and copied everywhere else.

00:59:00.000 Their meetups, their community is awesome.

00:59:02.000 Going strong and doing really, really incredible things.

00:59:06.000 So they're not affiliated, red or blue, Republican Democrats?

00:59:08.000 Well, they're in the local government.

00:59:09.000 There's a lot of freestaters in the state representative local governments there that are implementing local laws, local jurisdictions, making sure that you can actually get raw milk, ice cream.

00:59:22.000 That was one of the big hurdles, making sure that you could carry your firearm when you're on an ATV.

00:59:26.000 And there's a lot of other legal battles, especially when it comes to taxes and tax credits, especially from homeschooling, that they did have very significant victories on by coming together And working together on those issues.

00:59:37.000 What was the no-gun-on-an-ATV problem they were facing?

00:59:39.000 New Hampshire had some weird law where you couldn't have a gun on a snowmobile or ATV, and they of course repealed it with work of the Free State Project in local government.

00:59:49.000 See, this is what's brutal, is I pulled up 270-to-win state house elections map, only 31 states.

00:59:57.000 So, Senate and representative state legislatures, it's only 31 states going Republican.

01:00:05.000 New Hampshire, of course, is red.

01:00:07.000 Free State Project.

01:00:08.000 Maine and Minnesota are considered toss-ups, so we'll see.

01:00:11.000 But even then, it's only 33.

01:00:12.000 We need a handful more, man.

01:00:13.000 What do you need, like, 30, 37 or something for Convention of States?

01:00:18.000 Yeah, I think it was, uh, who was it that we were talking about?

01:00:20.000 Oh, it was Doug Mastriano I mentioned.

01:00:22.000 Hey, Convention of States, then we can fix everything.

01:00:24.000 He's like, be careful with that, because they can use that against you, too.

01:00:26.000 People can call Convention of States and, like, change laws.

01:00:30.000 They can't outright.

01:00:31.000 You still need to have gun rights.

01:00:33.000 So we talked to the Convention of States guys, they were on the show, and they said it's not what happens.

01:00:37.000 The Convention of States allows a convention to occur where they make proposals, and then they have to vote on the changes to the Constitution.

01:00:44.000 They don't just do it.

01:00:45.000 Does it go to the Senate?

01:00:46.000 It doesn't go to the Senate.

01:00:47.000 It bypasses the Senate.

01:00:48.000 It's the states only.

01:00:49.000 So it would have to be the Republicans voting.

01:00:52.000 And then my question is, if the Republicans convene a Convention of States, is it going to be Republicans banning 2A?

01:00:57.000 Or are they going to be like, we reaffirm and restate all?

01:01:02.000 I mean, like the NFA outright violates the Constitution.

01:01:06.000 We just, as a society, just allow these things to happen.

01:01:09.000 The funny thing is, I should say the problem is most people don't care about their rights being eroded.

01:01:17.000 That's it.

01:01:18.000 Like everyone's being spied on.

01:01:21.000 Nobody cares.

01:01:22.000 It's that subtlety that people don't, it's when you don't perceive it, you know, a little bit, like erosion, slow erosion is unnoticeable almost, but when a big, huge chunk of land breaks off, that type of erosion, everyone freaks out about.

01:01:34.000 Well, that's one of the points I brought up earlier with like local issues, right?

01:01:38.000 Most people are not tuned in to what's going on locally.

01:01:42.000 They'll tune in to the national stuff because it's on television all the time, right?

01:01:45.000 You need to turn on Fox or CNN or whatever network you want to watch and they're going to be covering the Senate.

01:01:51.000 They're going to be covering the House.

01:01:52.000 They're going to be covering the presidentials.

01:01:54.000 But maybe you have 10% of people on the right and 10% of the people on the left in these local elections that actually care.

01:02:00.000 And then they show up to the extent they do in these low-turnout local elections, and they're just guessing.

01:02:06.000 They don't know anything about these people because they're not paying attention.

01:02:08.000 They're busy with soccer practice.

01:02:10.000 They're busy with school.

01:02:11.000 They're busy with their day-to-day life.

01:02:13.000 But that's where it all starts, right?

01:02:15.000 All these people that are, you know, running for these big offices now all get their start at The school board, the county boards, all these local offices, and they get in there and they start moving on up.

01:02:26.000 And if people don't pay attention to what's going on locally, that's why we're in the problems we're in now.

01:02:30.000 What kind of commitment is it to be local official?

01:02:34.000 I mean, it's low paid.

01:02:36.000 Like, if you're a school board member, you get paid $20,000 a year.

01:02:39.000 So, you're not doing it for the money.

01:02:40.000 You may be doing it because, you know, you're an activist and you want your policies in place.

01:02:45.000 Or, more likely than not, you're a political climber and this is your first step to the next step.

01:02:50.000 So, right off the bat, you've got to start, you know, paying the favors that you owe and making sure that you're appeasing your base and playing politics at the local level.

01:02:59.000 Do they convene weekly?

01:03:00.000 Monthly?

01:03:01.000 Is it every day?

01:03:02.000 How often does a school board member, for instance?

01:03:05.000 Every two weeks.

01:03:05.000 You do like what, like six hours?

01:03:07.000 They do, they do like a, yeah, about a six hour public meeting.

01:03:10.000 And then they have committee meetings, which are often, you know, they could be virtual, they could be in person.

01:03:16.000 It is a lot of work for them to do it.

01:03:18.000 So, you know, when you have people doing it, it's... I kind of break it down as to you've got the true activists, you've got the political climbers, you've got the people that are actually went there because they believe in public service, and then you got the people that believe in public service but have been so beaten down by the first two that they're just, you know, checking in and checking out.

01:03:37.000 That's what local government looks like.

01:03:39.000 So should we pay a million bucks?

01:03:42.000 Will that make sure that the people are there for the paycheck and not for the activism?

01:03:47.000 I don't know.

01:03:47.000 I don't think that's a real solution.

01:03:49.000 I just think that it's always going to be activists.

01:03:51.000 The problem is, where are our activists who want to be there?

01:03:54.000 Yeah.

01:03:54.000 I'm doing the show, personally.

01:03:56.000 Like, you're doing a show.

01:03:57.000 What are you doing here, Ian?

01:03:58.000 Maybe you should be out running for office.

01:03:59.000 I know.

01:03:59.000 I'm thinking.

01:04:01.000 But I do think shows like this are massively influential because you can get a lot of people to vote the way you want them to vote when 10,000 people or 100,000 people hear your voice.

01:04:08.000 Although, imagine, you know, 10 years from now, Ian's governor of West Virginia.

01:04:13.000 And we're like, remember when he was on the show and then he decided, you know, he got to do something and now he's the governor and constitutional carry has been enshrined at the federal level.

01:04:21.000 Ian's running for president.

01:04:23.000 You know what I don't like about governorship right now is that they can decide for their state if abortion's legal or not. 0.69

01:04:30.000 One person.

01:04:32.000 Chosen by the government?

01:04:33.000 No.

01:04:34.000 The governor?

01:04:34.000 Who decides?

01:04:35.000 State legislature.

01:04:36.000 So how many people is that?

01:04:37.000 Depends on the state.

01:04:38.000 Some states it's 50, some states it's 300.

01:04:40.000 Is the governor involved in that?

01:04:42.000 So, depends on the state.

01:04:45.000 Some yes, some no.

01:04:46.000 In some states, the way it'll work is the state house will propose a bill.

01:04:51.000 They'll vote on it.

01:04:51.000 If it passes, it goes to the state senate, who will vote on it.

01:04:53.000 If it passes, it goes to the governor's desk, and he can say veto or sign.

01:04:59.000 Veto, but not in every state.

01:05:01.000 The governor doesn't have veto power?

01:05:02.000 Does the governor have veto power in every state?

01:05:03.000 I don't know about every single state.

01:05:04.000 I think, like, Nebraska is an assembly structure, and some states have, like, a senate.

01:05:08.000 I don't know.

01:05:09.000 It depends on the state, man.

01:05:10.000 But they basically function, like, similarly to the federal government.

01:05:14.000 I get edgy over top-down authority, but what do you think about governance right now?

01:05:18.000 Do you think it's, like... Do you like the way it's set up?

01:05:21.000 Yeah, I mean, it does depend on the state, but... Governance generally?

01:05:26.000 Locally?

01:05:27.000 Nationally?

01:05:29.000 What are we talking about?

01:05:34.000 Yeah, I think you need it.

01:05:37.000 I mean, I think you need, you know, it's federalism, right?

01:05:40.000 If you have too powerful of a state legislature, you're dealing with the same issues you would have if you didn't have that check and balance at the national level.

01:05:48.000 Checking Congress, right?

01:05:49.000 If you don't have that at the state level, there's a lot of things that get done at the state level that don't get done at the federal level.

01:05:54.000 The federal government will try and get those done, but most of the consequential stuff that affects your day-to-day life happens at the state level.

01:06:01.000 So if you're flipping every, you know, every which way and you don't have those checks and balances in the state government as well, your life's gonna be impacted.

01:06:09.000 So we had Ammon Bundy on last week, and he was saying that if he becomes governor, he's gonna make abortion illegal, basically, and that's just a vague, you know, a generalization.

01:06:17.000 Yeah, it's him setting his policy plan, and he's gonna advocate for it, and then hopefully get to sign it.

01:06:21.000 Advocate for it, I getcha.

01:06:22.000 Advocate for it to the legislature, then they get to decide what to do with it, okay.

01:06:27.000 Saying, if you get this to my desk, I will sign it.

01:06:29.000 You think you'll ever run for state office?

01:06:31.000 No.

01:06:32.000 Any kind of office?

01:06:33.000 Do you have any aspirations right now?

01:06:34.000 No.

01:06:34.000 Never.

01:06:34.000 Definitely not.

01:06:35.000 Where are you gonna run for?

01:06:36.000 I will say right now, there will never be a circumstance where I will ever run for public office.

01:06:41.000 I don't know if I can help people with public office.

01:06:42.000 I mean, I bet I could.

01:06:43.000 I think what is a job is a lot of listening.

01:06:46.000 Like you go in and there's 50 other people that want to talk so it's just wait and listen to everybody.

01:06:49.000 The power is gonna go to your head.

01:06:51.000 You're gonna do mandatory DMT trips for everybody.

01:06:53.000 I could see it now.

01:06:55.000 I mean if you do breathing to incite the DMT rush, yeah, dude.

01:06:59.000 Holotropic breathing.

01:07:00.000 That's one way of doing it.

01:07:03.000 Every single person who turns 18 has to go in for extended state DMT.

01:07:08.000 It's like a three-day thing where they put you on a bed with the IV drip for DMT and then a screen comes out of the floor and it's Ian's face and he's like, you can do this.

01:07:18.000 I think the Aztecs did that.

01:07:19.000 I don't want to do this, man!

01:07:20.000 You have to do this.

01:07:22.000 The Aztecs did that before, obsidian ritual, cutting hearts out and stuff.

01:07:26.000 Like psychedelics?

01:07:28.000 The resistance breaks into Ian's palace chamber and they're like, it's over, Crossland, we're putting an end to- and then he hits a button and it sprays DMT on their faces and they're like, ah!

01:07:37.000 Luke, do you have aspirations to run for office?

01:07:41.000 I hate politicians.

01:07:42.000 I don't want to hate myself that much. 0.92

01:07:44.000 And no, hell no.

01:07:47.000 I just don't see it.

01:07:48.000 I see more positive change being done by media rather than being in a political office.

01:07:57.000 Yep.

01:07:58.000 Culture.

01:07:59.000 Culture is very important.

01:08:00.000 Right.

01:08:00.000 We've had governor candidates come on the show, but I've never been to their governor's mansion.

01:08:05.000 I mean, I'd go there, look around, take some pictures.

01:08:06.000 Well, there's candidates that don't have mansions.

01:08:08.000 Okay.

01:08:08.000 Who's more influential, you know, Tucker Carlson or like your local congressman?

01:08:14.000 Yeah.

01:08:15.000 I mean, that's a question that I think is worth asking.

01:08:18.000 Tucker, for sure.

01:08:19.000 Tucker.

01:08:19.000 I mean, it depends.

01:08:20.000 Celebrity is celebrity.

01:08:21.000 AOC is a celebrity.

01:08:22.000 She's really like fallen out of the limelight a little bit.

01:08:25.000 The Democrats have really lost any They haven't got anybody.

01:08:30.000 Like, you know, we said AOC the other day is an A-lister, but it's like she's really not getting the press these days.

01:08:34.000 No, not at all.

01:08:34.000 Yeah, the squad's gone.

01:08:36.000 But the Republicans keep getting it.

01:08:37.000 See, this is the fault of the Democrats who chase after the far right, they say.

01:08:43.000 They made it so that Lauren Boebert, MTG, Trump, DeSantis are the news, and now nobody cares about their candidates.

01:08:51.000 So, sorry guys.

01:08:52.000 You think you'll ever run for office, Ian?

01:08:53.000 No, I mean, I agree with that.

01:08:55.000 I think that, I mean, first of all, if you run for office, be really good, really good.

01:09:01.000 You need to say, this is what I stand for, and I am not going to let the pressure get to me.

01:09:06.000 Where you start, you know, compromising on your views, and then you start, you know, You just lose who you are while you're running for office.

01:09:14.000 And it happens to a lot of people.

01:09:15.000 It doesn't happen to everybody.

01:09:17.000 But you see it happen.

01:09:18.000 And I see it happen all over the place.

01:09:20.000 Like, oh, well, that person said that because he was in a crowd of people that think that and doesn't want to lose that vote or she doesn't want to lose that vote.

01:09:26.000 And then you just, you know, it's it's sort of a natural reaction, I think, for people.

01:09:30.000 And there are other ways to sort of influence policy, to influence culture beyond just running for political office.

01:09:39.000 I think you have to have that That the right characteristic, right stuff to run for office.

01:09:45.000 I've never thought that I would be that person.

01:09:47.000 It happened to AOC.

01:09:48.000 She was talking about how big and bad the military-industrial complex was.

01:09:52.000 Now she's one of their biggest supporters and funders. 1.00

01:09:55.000 These people are pathological liars. 0.99

01:09:57.000 This is why I hate election season. 0.99

01:09:59.000 They're lying through their teeth, they're full of crap on almost every single issue, and I don't care if you're a Democrat or Republican, there's very few people that are able to actually impress me and talk about the real legitimate issues that actually matter, instead of just giving me generalized platitudes that don't amount to jack-ish, and only amounts to them trying to get you to support them. 0.96

01:10:19.000 And whenever you're a human being that puts your power, your energy, whenever you put someone else above yourself, You're committing an act that shouldn't be respected you ... shouldn't be a simp for politicians you should believe ... in yourself you should empower yourself and at the end of the ... day one person who's going to fix all your problems it's not ... going to be that politician it's going to be you when you ... decide you had enough of the bullcrap and you're going to ... make changes and decisions in your life that actually benefit ... you instead of giving up all of your power to mr. ... douchebag or mr. turd sandwich. 0.98

01:10:51.000 But isn't it just so much easier just to not think about it, Lou?

01:10:54.000 Just give up!

01:10:54.000 No!

01:10:57.000 When you see the atrocities, when you see so many human beings being poisoned, being screwed over, being absolutely robbed of their wealth, robbed of their futures, No, it's it's not easy because the amount of hurt that politicians are putting on the American people Doesn't amount to any form of laziness or convenience that just by voting them in but I wonder if that's just part of the system the structure of the system that people have 0.97

01:11:24.000 Because you're saying like every, almost every politician becomes some sort of scum, and that's an extreme way. 0.98

01:11:29.000 Predominantly most. 0.97

01:11:30.000 Is that, I wonder if it's all of them, either that's a problem with humanity, which may be, but I don't, I want to think better than that, that it's a problem with the way the system's set up, that people, all of a sudden they get some votes and now they have more power than you.

01:11:42.000 Maybe it should be that they have ability to alter, what were you going to say?

01:11:45.000 Yeah, so I liken it to this, right?

01:11:47.000 So you've got your network shows, right?

01:11:51.000 Your sort of mass consumption sitcoms, and they're on broadcast, right?

01:11:56.000 And they do well, and a lot of politicians are like that.

01:11:59.000 But then you have your really good shows, smart shows, that are still able to achieve success.

01:12:04.000 You know, could be on HBO, could be on any of these other platforms.

01:12:08.000 So you still do have that, but you have to really be able to balance, you know, popular appeal, but staying true to your ideals, right?

01:12:15.000 That's what makes a, not just a good politician, but a good elected official.

01:12:20.000 We do have a lot of these, you know, generic broadcast network shows that are bound on television.

01:12:25.000 You see the promos for them when you're watching the NFL over and over again for 20 years.

01:12:29.000 That does make up a lot of the political class.

01:12:32.000 You think there are elected officials that aren't politicians?

01:12:36.000 I think there are elected officials that will engage in being a politician to get to office and then actually do the job that's required of them.

01:12:46.000 But being a politician and being a, you know, a candidate, I mean, you've got to make phone calls and ask people for money.

01:12:51.000 That is the worst thing in the world.

01:12:53.000 I don't know how anybody ever does that.

01:12:54.000 I've got to pack Out and loud and fight for schools.

01:12:57.000 I used to have to, I called some people last summer to try and raise money for, you know, our recall efforts.

01:13:01.000 It was horrible.

01:13:02.000 You know, you're like, can you give me, what can you, well, I can give you $200.

01:13:06.000 Oh, that's awesome.

01:13:07.000 Thanks.

01:13:07.000 Like, what'd you do?

01:13:08.000 You only asked for $200?

01:13:09.000 Yeah.

01:13:10.000 I can't ask for more.

01:13:11.000 That sounds horrible.

01:13:12.000 I don't want to do that.

01:13:14.000 I used to do nonprofit fundraising and I would always, this is what the average person comes in.

01:13:18.000 So doing this canvassing, they'd be like, can you give, Five bucks a month?

01:13:23.000 And they'd be like, okay.

01:13:24.000 And they'd be like, okay.

01:13:26.000 And then I'd be like, why don't you ask for a hundred?

01:13:27.000 I can't ask for a hundred dollars.

01:13:28.000 I'd be like, are you kidding?

01:13:29.000 Let me show you how it's done.

01:13:30.000 I walk up to a guy and I'm like, we want you to sign up.

01:13:33.000 And I've got, I've got like a trainee and they're like, what's it going to cost?

01:13:35.000 I'm like, I'd like you to give me a thousand dollars per month.

01:13:38.000 He's like, are you kidding?

01:13:38.000 And then the guy just laughs.

01:13:39.000 And I was like, oh no, I want you to give me a thousand dollars per month.

01:13:43.000 Otherwise who else is going to help us stop deforestation?

01:13:46.000 And the guy goes, oh, I can't give you a thousand dollars.

01:13:48.000 I'm like, how about a hundred bucks?

01:13:49.000 And he goes, I can do a hundred.

01:13:51.000 And I'm like, You get what you ask for.

01:13:53.000 That's the thing.

01:13:54.000 But I get it, man.

01:13:55.000 Fundraising is brutal.

01:13:57.000 Oh, yeah.

01:13:57.000 That's another reason I wouldn't want to be involved.

01:13:59.000 I would do it, like, via internet video, you know?

01:14:01.000 But I don't even know if it violates YouTube's terms of service, but of course you could have your own social network and work off mines and things like that.

01:14:08.000 Yeah, I don't understand that.

01:14:10.000 Politicians should just be putting out broad-spectrum videos where they're like, I need you guys to donate today, here's why, and then just do like a 10-minute podcast, YouTube video, social media, put on all the platforms.

01:14:24.000 That's way more effective than picking up the phone and calling random people.

01:14:28.000 But then they use the pick-up-the-phone system to be like, well, that means I need to hire ten people, which means I need to raise this amount of money.

01:14:36.000 Because you don't need money to be a YouTube star.

01:14:39.000 When I started, I had nothing.

01:14:41.000 I had a $60, $30 webcam and a $15 microphone.

01:14:44.000 You know how you win these days?

01:14:45.000 It's like, think about anything they're doing.

01:14:47.000 They're going door-to-door.

01:14:48.000 It's like, just film everything and post videos.

01:14:51.000 Making phone calls, buying commercials.

01:14:53.000 A commercial is less effective than you making your own video that goes viral for whatever reason.

01:14:59.000 So, you know, when Bloomberg was running, he put half a billion dollars or whatever into this race, and all these YouTubers started getting tons of money, and they're like, that's just... I guess when you're a really unpopular guy with really horrifying ideas, you have to pay for it.

01:15:12.000 But if you're a politician, you want to run, you got good ideas, you can just do all earned press.

01:15:17.000 Make YouTube videos, you don't need to spend a single dime on it.

01:15:19.000 Donald Trump!

01:15:21.000 It was all earned press.

01:15:22.000 He spent very little money relative to Hillary and other candidates.

01:15:25.000 Because they just kept talking about him on the TV.

01:15:28.000 He knew how to do it.

01:15:29.000 But that wasn't even him making his own YouTube videos.

01:15:31.000 Nowadays, you can just make your own YouTube show and be like, hey, I'm running, give me money.

01:15:36.000 I mean, think about this.

01:15:37.000 People are members at TimCast.com so that we can make more shows and we're not even running for office.

01:15:42.000 So, you know, people are willing to sign up to help to contribute.

01:15:45.000 You just got to be better at it, I guess.

01:15:48.000 It's always driven me nuts how, like, the great politicians are the people that don't want to do it.

01:15:51.000 They're like, I don't want that power.

01:15:53.000 I don't want that.

01:15:54.000 It's not right.

01:15:55.000 But then you're like, but you have to because you're the right guy.

01:15:58.000 Like, you're the one that will put it down when you're done with it.

01:16:02.000 But no one's going to force you to do it.

01:16:04.000 So unless you take the reins and make yourself go.

01:16:06.000 So Ian, you got it.

01:16:08.000 You got it.

01:16:08.000 You have to run.

01:16:09.000 It's got to be so specific.

01:16:11.000 I mean, to do politics, you would have to you're up against the global and then you take the military into account.

01:16:17.000 And it's like, oh, my God, do I want to be in charge of who lives and dies?

01:16:20.000 I mean, I'd rather me than somebody else.

01:16:22.000 But.

01:16:23.000 I want everyone to imagine Ian sitting at the Oval Office desk justifying why they had to drone bomb that Pakistani village. 0.99

01:16:28.000 Dude, that's so gross.

01:16:31.000 No, but think about the kind of person you could imagine saying something like that.

01:16:34.000 But then you have real threats, where like there's an invasion force.

01:16:37.000 It hasn't happened really in our modern history to the United States.

01:16:41.000 We don't have any.

01:16:41.000 Yeah, we do.

01:16:42.000 Haven't had a real invasive threat.

01:16:44.000 What do you mean?

01:16:45.000 The United States?

01:16:46.000 Yeah, for the past several years, people are marching in the tens of thousands with their flags.

01:16:50.000 I would have sent the National Guard out night two.

01:16:52.000 Yeah, that's what Carrie Lake has been saying. 0.85

01:16:54.000 National Guard, man, that's what it's for.

01:16:55.000 Carrie Lake has been calling for the National Guard to go down and stop the invasion.

01:16:58.000 The border dude and the cartels.

01:17:00.000 Now, you want to talk about an enemy you do not—well, I don't want to make enemies with cartels who are on our—but we've got, like, a drug—what do they call it?

01:17:08.000 A narco terrorist state on our southern border? 0.90

01:17:11.000 Like the Mexican government is the cartel, essentially.

01:17:15.000 Or it's like the cartel is a form of government that operates.

01:17:18.000 But they're intergovernmental.

01:17:19.000 I mean, you've got cartel operating even up in Maryland and, you know, up in- That is freakish.

01:17:24.000 That's true.

01:17:25.000 Haven't you ever watched Breaking Bad, dude?

01:17:26.000 Has it always just been military authority since the beginning?

01:17:29.000 I don't remember.

01:17:30.000 Looking at history, I don't know of a time when it wasn't military authority first and then everything else.

01:17:34.000 Well, yeah, we're in a bubble.

01:17:36.000 I mean, it's a crazy thing, dude.

01:17:37.000 You just because I got to say it.

01:17:40.000 I've been reading about the Civil War and There was no— Lincoln suspends habeas corpus from D.C.

01:17:46.000 up to Philly, up to Pennsylvania, basically, because Maryland was a slave state, so they're just randomly arresting people.

01:17:51.000 This is why the four states in 1861 in May seceded, because Abraham Lincoln was like, I'm not gonna allow these seven states to secede, we're gonna use force.

01:18:00.000 Then four other states— Tennessee, North Carolina, Arkansas, Virginia— were all like, yo, we're not gonna stand by and let you do that.

01:18:08.000 It was brutal, but it was war.

01:18:10.000 You know, what do you do?

01:18:11.000 When war breaks out, everything else is just words on paper.

01:18:18.000 You can come out and be like, I've got a constitutional right to this, that, or otherwise, and they're gonna be like, yeah, well, we're being invaded by China or whatever, so I don't care.

01:18:27.000 The United States interned Japanese people, that is certainly not constitutional.

01:18:31.000 Didn't matter.

01:18:33.000 War's war.

01:18:34.000 Yeah, did it anyways.

01:18:35.000 Winning, winning.

01:18:36.000 So, if it really does break down and get crazy, people don't understand how crazy it can really get.

01:18:41.000 Everybody tries to base what they think is happening in this country off of what's already happening right now, what happened in the past, but you know what, man?

01:18:48.000 What people really don't get?

01:18:50.000 Every single war, there's a, there's a, there's a, this technology has advanced in weapons, and so when the next war breaks out, people are taken by surprise at the weapons that are being used.

01:19:00.000 So, just consider this.

01:19:02.000 You have the invention of rifled muskets, and even breach-loading rifles in the Civil War.

01:19:09.000 And that increased accuracy of the rifles by like 400%.

01:19:12.000 So now, bayonet charges don't work, and many groups tried that.

01:19:17.000 Imagine where we go now.

01:19:18.000 Imagine if a war actually broke out.

01:19:19.000 What do you think we're gonna see?

01:19:21.000 It's not just gonna be AR-15s.

01:19:23.000 There's gonna be weird things.

01:19:24.000 There's gonna be drones.

01:19:25.000 There's gonna be a DJI drone.

01:19:28.000 And it's going to be carrying a small payload.

01:19:32.000 And it's going to fly up and then zoom straight at you and explode.

01:19:36.000 There's going to be people with microwave cannons. 0.98

01:19:38.000 So like active denial systems.

01:19:40.000 It shoots microwaves at people so it makes them feel like they're on fire.

01:19:43.000 Laser weapons.

01:19:44.000 L-Rads. 0.97

01:19:46.000 Tiny drone bullets that are going to be controlled and just fly into someone's head and blow up. 0.96

01:19:51.000 That's right. 0.98

01:19:51.000 Suicide drones. 0.98

01:19:53.000 Tiny little bombs. 0.52

01:19:54.000 All they got to do is go right to your eye.

01:19:56.000 Natural disaster weapons.

01:19:58.000 Yeah.

01:19:59.000 Tsunami bombs.

01:20:00.000 Consciousness weapons.

01:20:01.000 Weather control, weather modification weapons.

01:20:04.000 What is it?

01:20:04.000 Silver iodide?

01:20:05.000 Is that what they use?

01:20:07.000 That's how they seed clouds. 0.96

01:20:08.000 Right.

01:20:09.000 And they can also use infrared lasers.

01:20:12.000 There was a study in Germany that did this.

01:20:13.000 They pointed lasers up and it condensed particles, creating clouds.

01:20:16.000 Now, how would you use that during a war?

01:20:19.000 Make it rain too much in an area that's unstable.

01:20:21.000 Or block the clouds or block the sun as Bill Gates is trying to do himself.

01:20:24.000 Bill Gates is trying to do a Mr. Burns?

01:20:25.000 Yeah.

01:20:25.000 cut out solar power, or block the clouds or block the sun as Bill Gates is trying to do

01:20:31.000 himself under.

01:20:32.000 That's real Matrix.

01:20:33.000 Bill Gates is trying to do what Mr. Burns?

01:20:35.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:20:36.000 There's a scientific project that was supposed to be tested.

01:20:40.000 It didn't go forward, but it's going to go forward later on.

01:20:43.000 That literally is going to block out the sun.

01:20:45.000 You got a name on that by any chance?

01:20:47.000 Let's look it up.

01:20:48.000 I looked it up.

01:20:49.000 I was talking, I was researching this about like eight months ago, so it's still in the back of my head, but Block Sun.

01:20:55.000 Oh, you're just from CNN, yes.

01:20:57.000 What does it say?

01:20:57.000 What's the title?

01:20:59.000 A Radical Proposal on Climate Change, Block Out the Sun.

01:21:01.000 Yeah, and this is a project that Bill Gates is funding.

01:21:04.000 Harvard scientists, yeah.

01:21:05.000 Bill Gates is funding this all in the name of climate change and green energy policy.

01:21:10.000 A Bill Gates venture aims to spray dust into the atmosphere to block the sun.

01:21:15.000 What could go wrong?

01:21:17.000 This is a Mr. Burns!

01:21:18.000 He's trying to pull a Mr. Burns!

01:21:20.000 This was supposed to go forward as an official test a couple months ago.

01:21:25.000 It was postponed, but the test is still going to be going forward with Bill Gates literally blocking out the sun because of A climate.

01:21:35.000 I pictured Bill Gates literally a hundred million miles wide blocking up the sun when you said that.

01:21:41.000 No, no, he's got a remote and when he presses it, a gigantic metal disc goes up.

01:21:45.000 We just don't go over.

01:21:46.000 You know, he's just an unaccountable billionaire businessman that buys off the corporate media.

01:21:50.000 There's nothing to worry about here.

01:21:51.000 It's not like he believes there's too many people in this world.

01:21:53.000 Oh, wait.

01:21:54.000 Oh.

01:21:55.000 Yeah, this is the kind of tech we should have.

01:21:56.000 I bet he sunburns easily and that's really what it's about.

01:21:58.000 He's like a pasty white dude and he's like, I don't want to buy lotion. 0.99

01:22:01.000 He does wear a lot of sweaters.

01:22:02.000 He's like... See?

01:22:03.000 It's like eczema or something.

01:22:06.000 More magnesium, Bill.

01:22:07.000 Get more green vegetables.

01:22:08.000 That's how you avoid sunburn.

01:22:10.000 Have you seen his moobs?

01:22:12.000 I don't think the dude's eating vegetables.

01:22:15.000 I think he's just, he wants to block out the sun.

01:22:17.000 I'm thinking.

01:22:18.000 Yeah, that sounds so villainous.

01:22:19.000 Yes!

01:22:20.000 I know.

01:22:20.000 Yes!

01:22:21.000 What do you think I've been screaming about this person for the last 10 years?

01:22:25.000 10 years I've been like, hey, you guys should look out at this guy.

01:22:28.000 Hey, this guy's doing this.

01:22:29.000 He's doing this.

01:22:31.000 He's also trying to create microchips that are going to be artificially birth control inside of human beings.

01:22:37.000 That's all concerning stuff that we should be talking about, especially since we got here talking about The new kind of weapons that will be used during World War 3 because there's also a big potential hypothetically to say that this war is already going on and a lot of people don't even realize it anymore.

01:22:56.000 And that right now people are dying, people are casualties of this war from circumstances and things that they don't see, that they might be participating in and consuming themselves.

01:23:05.000 For sure, viruses, you can't see them.

01:23:07.000 That's a great war tactic. 0.96

01:23:08.000 Food, if you poison food or make food that is poison, that's a kind of a war tactic.

01:23:13.000 But it's just like a subtle war.

01:23:14.000 No one wants to be the aggressor in that war.

01:23:15.000 They don't want to be found out as an aggressor.

01:23:17.000 You'll lose public support.

01:23:19.000 So you always want the other side to be the aggressor.

01:23:22.000 Right, you put weapons on their border until they attack you.

01:23:24.000 You know what would be really funny?

01:23:26.000 If, like, World War III is just, like, the U.S.

01:23:28.000 is bombing itself and blaming Russia, and Russia's bombing itself and blaming the U.S., but that's all it is.

01:23:33.000 And they have a secret deal, an arrangement, being like, hey guys, we're gonna wag the dog here, we're gonna stage something, but we're gonna work on this together so we could feed the military-industrial complex, but we're just gonna play pretend here. 0.66

01:23:44.000 Hypothetically.

01:23:45.000 I think it would be funnier, in this scenario, if the U.S., there's no direct conflict, it's them attacking themselves, but We were bombed today and it must've been Russia, but it was like the CIA. 0.60

01:23:54.000 It's false flag after false flag after false flag.

01:23:56.000 Right, it's nothing but false flags.

01:23:58.000 Russia is like, so, I mean, think about what would happen. 1.00

01:24:01.000 Right now you've got this story where Russia apparently is gonna blow up a dam.

01:24:05.000 And so Russia says, Ukraine's gonna blow up a dam.

01:24:08.000 So Western media says, that's a signal that Russia's gonna blow the dam up to blame us.

01:24:13.000 Like, this is how insane it is.

01:24:14.000 So like, all of a sudden, the Ukrainian dam explodes.

01:24:18.000 And then the Western media says, Russia did it.

01:24:21.000 It's a false flag.

01:24:22.000 They're trying to blame us.

01:24:23.000 Then all of a sudden Russia blows up one of its own dams and goes, no, no, this proves that Ukraine did it because even we got attacked. 0.60

01:24:29.000 And so everyone's just blowing themselves up.

01:24:32.000 You got to get public support, I guess.

01:24:34.000 But let's get to the point where the robots fight each other, you know?

01:24:37.000 I think that's already happening too.

01:24:39.000 Or, you know, you could just deny humanity energy and watch, you know, civilization collapse on itself.

01:24:44.000 We could watch food prices go up so it becomes too expensive so people can't afford it.

01:24:48.000 You could stop domestic energy production and exploration, just like the new prime minister, who's also a part of the World Economic Forum, a Goldman Sachs banker, just banned fracking inside of all of the United Kingdom.

01:24:58.000 Also, the same individual pushing for a central bank digital currency.

01:25:03.000 Which is akin to a social credit score that his family is also invested in heavily and working on of course building with the World Economic Forum This is what's this guy's name the PM of Rashi Rishi Rishi Sunak and he within he just got in with like two days ago Yep, and he's already banned fracking.

01:25:20.000 Yeah.

01:25:20.000 Yeah the entire global United Kingdom.

01:25:22.000 Yep.

01:25:22.000 Yep And they're already getting ready to ration heating oil for the winter.

01:25:30.000 And this is the same person, by the way, that just talked about how the UK is going to be the first place that is going to rewire their entire financial system in order to be net zero.

01:25:44.000 Oh, this is the same guy literally promising, hey, we're also going to bring in a central bank digital currency because it's going to be so convenient when the government's able to watch, track, and see every little thing you do and tax you automatically without you even having to fill out any tax forms.

01:25:58.000 This is a new level of Orwellian 1984 New World Order, brave new world that we are all facing today that a lot of people weren't about saying, hey, this is coming.

01:26:09.000 Now this is a reality.

01:26:10.000 It's like a big do-over.

01:26:13.000 you know like a big uh you know grand like a grande reformatting that's yeah reformatting um reformat a new a change up a a a a gigantic new beginning a restart Right?

01:26:30.000 Restart?

01:26:31.000 Something like that, like a reformat, like a rebirth.

01:26:34.000 A grandiose rebirth.

01:26:35.000 Big rebirth.

01:26:37.000 I was studying the revolution, you know, the American Revolution, the first one, and I say, right now, because we're in it right now, it never stopped, George Washington would go to the Continental Congress, they'd all go, you know, and they'd sit there and Washington would barely ever speak, he'd just listen.

01:26:51.000 And he'd be wearing his full military outfit and they're like, yo, this guy's ready to roll.

01:26:55.000 Like it was before the war began, but everybody knew George was ready to go.

01:26:58.000 He shows up in full military gear, and they're like, dude, calm down.

01:27:01.000 Finally, when they make their decision that they're going to have to go to war with England, John Adams is like, we've decided who's going to lead the army.

01:27:07.000 And John Hancock's like, he's the president of Congress.

01:27:09.000 He's like, here we go.

01:27:09.000 Give it to me, boys.

01:27:10.000 And then they were like, and it's George Washington.

01:27:13.000 And Hancock's like, deflated.

01:27:15.000 He thought he was going to be the guy.

01:27:17.000 And George didn't want it.

01:27:18.000 He was like, this is a suicide mission.

01:27:20.000 I can't.

01:27:20.000 There's no way we can win this.

01:27:22.000 But he did it anyway.

01:27:24.000 And thank God for the French. 0.97

01:27:25.000 How many battles did he win?

01:27:27.000 I don't know.

01:27:29.000 I mean, you can count Trenton as a battle, maybe.

01:27:33.000 But I think other than that, I don't know if he won a single one other than Yorktown.

01:27:38.000 I mean, all he did was fight, lose, stay alive, retreat, keep going, over and over and over again.

01:27:45.000 You know, obviously the French come in at Yorktown.

01:27:47.000 They have Saratoga, which was a big win, but he wasn't there.

01:27:50.000 But, you know.

01:27:51.000 Sometimes that's the winning strategy.

01:27:53.000 You know, sometimes that's what you gotta do.

01:27:54.000 Makes you a good commander.

01:27:55.000 Mel Gibson won a couple.

01:27:57.000 He did.

01:27:58.000 Right.

01:27:58.000 Yeah.

01:27:59.000 Yeah.

01:28:00.000 He lost both his kids though, right?

01:28:02.000 I know.

01:28:02.000 Well, he had a bunch of kids.

01:28:03.000 Did he die?

01:28:03.000 No, he didn't die at that one.

01:28:04.000 No, he wins in the end.

01:28:05.000 That movie's so good.

01:28:06.000 Washington won six victories at Boston, a siege at Boston, Harlem Heights, Trenton, second battle of Trenton, Princeton, and Yorktown.

01:28:14.000 And he also was defeated six times.

01:28:17.000 Long Island, Kips Bay, White Plains, Fort Washington, Brandywine, and Germantown.

01:28:20.000 And he had a tie, two ties, at White Marsh and Monmouth.

01:28:23.000 But yeah, he basically just held the line for the French to come win the war for him.

01:28:27.000 No one can do it alone.

01:28:29.000 That's the question about a civil war in the United States.

01:28:32.000 A lot of people on the right think that, come on, the right has guns, they have more military.

01:28:39.000 But people don't understand that, you know, when I was reading about North Carolina, I was reading a bunch of historical articles from universities.

01:28:48.000 North Carolina, Virginia, they were split.

01:28:51.000 They didn't want to secede from the Union.

01:28:53.000 The protections the Union offered was too great.

01:28:55.000 There were benefits.

01:28:56.000 They just didn't want to leave.

01:28:57.000 And it was only after 75,000 troops were called upon by Lincoln that they were like, that's way too much for us.

01:29:02.000 We're not going to support that.

01:29:03.000 That's tyrannical.

01:29:05.000 It's split.

01:29:06.000 If something were to happen in this country, you might be thinking like, nah, there's no way this state would leave, like there's not enough states, it wouldn't split, but there might be some states that just, look, I'll put it this way.

01:29:17.000 Donald Trump wins in 2024.

01:29:17.000 He's president in 2025.

01:29:21.000 California, Oregon, and Washington all say outright we will not abide by federal law pertaining to abortion or sex changes for kids or schools.

01:29:31.000 And then Trump says they have totally cut us off, so we're sending in the army, invoking the Insurrection Act, something that we've already discussed as possible.

01:29:40.000 Or let's say Antifa starts rioting and then Trump says, we're going to shut down these riots this time.

01:29:44.000 I'm not making the same mistake.

01:29:46.000 I'm invoking the Insurrection Act.

01:29:48.000 And then California says, we can't do this.

01:29:50.000 It's too much.

01:29:51.000 Trump's sending troops now.

01:29:52.000 The media obviously sides all with these progressive states pushing the cause of secession.

01:30:00.000 You know what would push it to is if they tried to institute a draft for some sort of offensive measure in Ukraine.

01:30:05.000 States would be like, I am out.

01:30:07.000 I will not tolerate that.

01:30:09.000 I don't know, I don't know, I think red states, but if Trump, if the GOP wins, we're not going to have that.

01:30:15.000 If the Republicans win, the war is effectively a non-issue for us and Ukraine's going to lose in two seconds.

01:30:21.000 No World War, look, I'll put it very simply.

01:30:24.000 If Trump wins and if we survive to 2024 and World War III doesn't start, I don't think it will, I hope not.

01:30:30.000 If Trump wins, if Republican wins, well, I'll say this, I can't speak for the Republicans, but if Trump wins, Our involvement with Ukraine is done.

01:30:39.000 Ukraine loses the war overnight.

01:30:41.000 Russia walks in and just takes what they want. 0.85

01:30:43.000 It's better than World War III! 0.99

01:30:45.000 What are you thinking?

01:30:45.000 Is that possible?

01:30:47.000 Well, I mean, I don't know if you saw the story the other day where even the far left progressive caucus is saying, oh, you know, let's let's back off what we're doing now.

01:30:57.000 Then, of course, you know, they got yelled at.

01:30:59.000 So they had to had to back off it.

01:31:01.000 But this is not something that, you know, the majority of conservatives support, even those on the far left.

01:31:07.000 I mean, their conscience is we can't support this.

01:31:09.000 I mean, this is the political class in Washington, you know, that have been there for years, that You know, going back to, you know, World War II, really, that is pushing this.

01:31:20.000 Was it 20 or 30 representatives?

01:31:22.000 I'm not sure how many it was.

01:31:23.000 I think it was a significant number coming out against the escalations in Ukraine, which is big news and should have been covered more.

01:31:30.000 Right, but this is always how it happens, right?

01:31:32.000 Where you have one spot, it's like, what was it, Serbia in World War I?

01:31:37.000 Was it Serbia, where everything happens from there, right?

01:31:37.000 Right?

01:31:40.000 Now, not everything is World War II, where you have, you know, a dictator on the march invading countries.

01:31:47.000 You know, you have conflagrations like this that set off things that, once they happen, you cannot roll them back.

01:31:54.000 So, hopefully, you know, after November, this thing starts to get rolled back.

01:32:00.000 Because, you know, we're kind of at this brinksmanship, which we've seen, you know, throughout the Cold War, which fortunately never erupted into anything beyond these proxy wars.

01:32:11.000 But, you know, hearing thought talks about, we're approaching nuclear Armageddon, or we could be looking at nuclear Armageddon, the fact that more people aren't talking about that, I mean, that's, that's, that's crazy to me.

01:32:23.000 Absolutely.

01:32:23.000 It's the first I heard of the progressive Outcry about it.

01:32:27.000 Who was it?

01:32:27.000 Yeah.

01:32:28.000 Was it like AOC?

01:32:29.000 People?

01:32:29.000 I don't think AOC was there.

01:32:30.000 Jay Paul.

01:32:33.000 Jay Paul, I think, was the one that sent the letter.

01:32:36.000 So she's a member of Congress.

01:32:39.000 And then a day later, you know, they were throwing staff under the bus and they, you know, for sending this letter.

01:32:45.000 I mean, you didn't think this through.

01:32:47.000 You didn't, you know, either you write it, you send it, you stand by it.

01:32:52.000 Or you don't send it.

01:32:53.000 But I mean, within a day, it had unraveled.

01:32:55.000 Sometimes when I see stuff like this, I'm like, is there a powerful spaceship hidden off the horizon where, you know, like, these progressives, they can't actually do anything good.

01:33:08.000 The Democrats have no choice. 0.98

01:33:10.000 Is there some great and powerful demonic entity or a super being or a multidimensional creature that is forcing them to be evil garbage? 0.99

01:33:19.000 I just don't understand why you can't just be like, the war is wrong, here's my letter. 0.97

01:33:24.000 I don't care.

01:33:25.000 It was the Congressional Progressive Caucus that officially sent the letter.

01:33:29.000 We should have some of these individuals on with how close they were.

01:33:32.000 Look how cowardly they got, though.

01:33:33.000 They backed down, they apologized, all the BS they play.

01:33:36.000 Come on, dude.

01:33:37.000 I bet there's a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff.

01:33:38.000 Be interesting to air that stuff.

01:33:39.000 Yeah, but I want to know what the hell happened because they sent the letter and then they had to backtrack.

01:33:43.000 Why did they have to backtrack?

01:33:45.000 Aliens!

01:33:45.000 What pressure?

01:33:46.000 To de-escalate the situation?

01:33:48.000 These people are de-escalating it.

01:33:49.000 The aliens were like, you must go to war!

01:33:52.000 No, B-Borp wouldn't do that.

01:33:54.000 B-Borp is going to be a Ron Paul, ANCAP libertarian freedom fighter that's going to progress human society so we are going to be equally and promote freedom and really be the best human beings that we could be.

01:34:10.000 I'm optimistic.

01:34:11.000 Jimmy Dore is calling him out and the fake woke cult left despises it, but Jimmy's right.

01:34:16.000 Yeah.

01:34:18.000 I want to know what happened.

01:34:18.000 I want to know if it's like a lobbyist group or if it's a corporate group or if it's an intelligence agency that came to this progressive caucus and said, stop it right now.

01:34:28.000 Why?

01:34:28.000 Who did it?

01:34:29.000 I want to know.

01:34:30.000 And I think the American people deserve an answer because it's their money going over there.

01:34:34.000 It's their money escalating in a situation.

01:34:36.000 So let's go to Super Chats.

01:35:03.000 Let's read some Super Chats. 0.87

01:35:05.000 So LayCucumberLime says, good night everyone!

01:35:08.000 Before the show started.

01:35:12.000 That's how Fetterman started.

01:35:13.000 And you know, this one's kind of obvious.

01:35:14.000 He meant to say good evening.

01:35:16.000 Right.

01:35:17.000 Evening and night in his brain.

01:35:18.000 See, this goes to show you that he is having a cognitive defect.

01:35:23.000 It's not just auditory processing.

01:35:26.000 His brain pulled the wrong word.

01:35:28.000 In his mind, evening and night are the same thing.

01:35:30.000 So he said night.

01:35:31.000 But good evening is a greeting and good night is a departure.

01:35:35.000 A farewell.

01:35:35.000 It's a goodbye.

01:35:37.000 Brain don't work.

01:35:40.000 All right.

01:35:41.000 What do we got?

01:35:43.000 Kermit says, Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:35:45.000 This is to honor those families who got justice today.

01:35:50.000 Brooks guilty on all charges.

01:35:52.000 Thanks for name drop, Raymond.

01:35:54.000 You guys saw that?

01:35:54.000 That's right.

01:35:56.000 Yeah, Daryl Brooks.

01:35:57.000 Yep.

01:35:57.000 Guilty on all charges.

01:35:59.000 All right.

01:36:01.000 Cromules says, joined the Daily Wire backstage live stream before TimCast IRL only to hear Ben Shapiro say that there is nothing morally wrong with a man copulating with a frozen chicken.

01:36:13.000 Well, certainly that can't be correct.

01:36:16.000 Was he quoting someone else?

01:36:19.000 Or has Ben lost his way?

01:36:21.000 He is promoting a lot of crazy stuff out there.

01:36:25.000 I'm gonna give Ben the benefit of the doubt on this one.

01:36:27.000 But I gotta know more.

01:36:28.000 I don't want to.

01:36:29.000 Let's go deep.

01:36:32.000 Let's see.

01:36:33.000 Triton54 says, he speaks in riddles.

01:36:35.000 He drowns in red.

01:36:36.000 Can't find a Fetter-ma-hen. 1.00

01:36:39.000 Can't find a Fetter-ma-hen? 1.00

01:36:40.000 Is that, I don't know what song that is.

01:36:41.000 It's like a Pearl Jam song.

01:36:42.000 Yeah, they're quoting the lyrics from Better Man.

01:36:42.000 That's Better Man.

01:36:44.000 Better Man?

01:36:45.000 Can't find a Fetter-ma-hen. 1.00

01:36:46.000 Oh, I get it.

01:36:48.000 Can't find a Fetter-man.

01:36:48.000 Fetter-ma-hen.

01:36:51.000 Oh, yeah.

01:36:53.000 All right, well, let's read some more.

01:36:56.000 Amenthy says, going to close my PayPal this weekend.

01:36:58.000 I'm tired of their nonsense and their treatment of Eric July was over the line.

01:37:02.000 Re-upping my Timcast membership with Parallel Economy on November 1st.

01:37:06.000 Cheers!

01:37:06.000 Glad to hear it!

01:37:08.000 That's of Dan Bongino Company, so you're not just supporting us, you're supporting him.

01:37:12.000 We're all here to build that parallel economy, man.

01:37:15.000 TheGodKingMem says, Tim, I took your advice.

01:37:18.000 After 34 years of living in Seattle, we're done.

01:37:21.000 As you read this, I'm driving from Seattle to Dallas, Texas for good.

01:37:24.000 Currently somewhere in South Idaho.

01:37:26.000 Peace out, Washington State.

01:37:28.000 We outie.

01:37:29.000 The good thing is, the people who are actually moving to Texas are actually voting Republican, which is actually helping the state shift more red.

01:37:37.000 That along with the Rio Grande Valley.

01:37:39.000 So, it's a good thing.

01:37:40.000 I think, you know, Rogan moving there, he's gonna bring a lot of industry, which is gonna be more progressive.

01:37:45.000 I don't know who Rogan's gonna vote for.

01:37:48.000 I assume he's voting Republican, because he even said that on his show.

01:37:51.000 But a lot of people who are moving to Texas are gonna vote Republican, so... Better than nothing, better than nothing.

01:37:59.000 All right, let's see what we got.

01:38:01.000 XenoRabbit says, I think we've officially lost the First Amendment.

01:38:05.000 Agreed!

01:38:07.000 PowderPZ says, I am Jewish and I 100% support Kanye.

01:38:11.000 What they're doing to him is evil.

01:38:13.000 Well, there you go.

01:38:15.000 Waffle Sensei says, Wrong Ian, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, taught us that greed isn't always bad.

01:38:22.000 Greed is also what you use to cherish and protect the people you love and are responsible for.

01:38:27.000 Yeah, pride isn't always bad either, and that's a sin in the Catholic Church. 0.80

01:38:31.000 I agree, greed isn't always evil.

01:38:33.000 So this is, have you seen Fullmetal Alchemist?

01:38:36.000 No.

01:38:36.000 You should watch it.

01:38:37.000 There's, I won't spoil it too much, but there are homunculi, artificial humans, and there's one each representing the seven deadly sins. 0.92

01:38:46.000 So the point he's making is that the character Greed is sort of a villain, but also kind of not.

01:38:51.000 An interesting point is made about Greed in that, you know.

01:38:56.000 You should watch Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, man.

01:38:58.000 Fullmetal, it's fantastic.

01:39:00.000 Yeah, really good stuff.

01:39:02.000 Good politics.

01:39:03.000 Yeah.

01:39:04.000 And even the original deviant anime version, because the manga, like, stopped, and then they made this, so there's two different Fullmetal Alchemists you can watch.

01:39:12.000 They're both good.

01:39:13.000 But Brotherhood, I think, is way better.

01:39:15.000 Luke, you should definitely watch this, too, because it's basically about the government sacrificing people to make themselves immortal.

01:39:21.000 So they're, like, you know, eating babies and stuff.

01:39:25.000 Not literally. Probably not far from reality. What are you eating there?

01:39:27.000 I think I had one of those earlier. A little protein bar.

01:39:30.000 Oh yeah, it's real meat. Epic. I bought a bunch of those.

01:39:33.000 Yeah, very good. You're saying the second Full Metal Alchemist is better than the first one?

01:39:37.000 So they're both similar.

01:39:40.000 They're both basically about government conspiracies to become immortal.

01:39:44.000 Sacrificing people.

01:39:45.000 But, uh, Brotherhood is the complete finished storyline, which makes more sense.

01:39:51.000 And, uh, I just think it's better.

01:39:53.000 But, you know, I'm gonna spoil it a little bit.

01:39:55.000 It's basically about... a plan to sacrifice humans for... you know.

01:40:00.000 Immortality.

01:40:01.000 Yeah, it's sort of, but for power.

01:40:05.000 For more power.

01:40:06.000 I'll give you, I'll expand upon it, because this is interesting for those who might want to watch it.

01:40:10.000 In the show, they do alchemy.

01:40:12.000 In order for alchemy to happen, you need, there's the law of equivalent exchange.

01:40:16.000 That means if you want to make something, it has to come from something.

01:40:20.000 Something can't come from nothing.

01:40:21.000 But with the Philosopher's Stone, seemingly things can come from nothing.

01:40:26.000 Basically, as it turns out, I'll spoil a little bit of it for you.

01:40:30.000 These people who have these philosopher stones, something isn't coming from nothing.

01:40:33.000 They actually contain like thousands of dead people whose bodies are converted into mass so they can use alchemy to mass produce stuff.

01:40:41.000 And it's a crazy show.

01:40:42.000 It's really, really good.

01:40:43.000 I wonder if someone has a hydroxyapatite crystal ball, which is the hydroxyapatite is the crystal that your bone is made of.

01:40:50.000 A human bone crystal ball.

01:40:52.000 That'd be cool.

01:40:53.000 Alright, ThePizzaGuy says, here's 20 bucks for the FLCL reference last night.

01:40:57.000 Also, I made a video lining up Alex Jones, Joe Rogan rant with Full Metal Alchemist.

01:41:01.000 Figure you'd find it funny since you're a fan.

01:41:03.000 Look up Alex Jones explains Full Metal Alchemist.

01:41:05.000 That sounds pretty funny.

01:41:08.000 Alright, we'll get some more superchats.

01:41:12.000 Gabriel Martinez says, Luke, it isn't ideas.

01:41:14.000 Kanye is speaking from personal experiences.

01:41:17.000 He's getting cancelled because what he is saying is true.

01:41:19.000 Who can't you criticize?

01:41:22.000 I always hated that quote.

01:41:23.000 People have claimed it's...

01:41:28.000 You know that there's a quote it's like if you want to learn who controls you just look so you can't criticize and they claim that it was like Nietzsche or someone like that but it was actually like this white supremacist guy it's also a really dumb dumb quote because you like society doesn't tolerate criticism of a lot of weak you know it's like crippled children it's like they're not in control of the world that's that's the argument if you criticize them people would get mad at you as well But here's what I would say about Kanye.

01:41:54.000 The comments I'm familiar with, he's wrong.

01:41:57.000 I've already talked about, if he's referring to, when he says Jewish Mafia, 10 people that he is colloquially calling the Jewish Mafia, I was like, okay. 0.91

01:42:06.000 And the reason people are mad, as Lex Friedman brought up, is that it invokes these stereotypes from the past.

01:42:11.000 But apparently someone mentioned that in the full Lex Friedman podcast, I didn't watch the full thing, I watched maybe half an hour of it, Kanye apparently said really awful things that they're saying.

01:42:22.000 Yeah, he goes off a little bit.

01:42:23.000 On Jewish people?

01:42:25.000 Um, yeah, basically.

01:42:26.000 It's so weird, like- He did specify it was eight people that he works- He said it was eight people? 0.76

01:42:30.000 Yeah, in his inner business circle that all screwed him over at once and they were all Jewish. 1.00

01:42:34.000 Those eight people. 0.69

01:42:35.000 That's what he was saying.

01:42:36.000 That's one thing he said.

01:42:37.000 Lex was like, still, it doesn't mean that all Jewish people are away.

01:42:40.000 And Kanye was saying he didn't mean all Jewish people.

01:42:43.000 Yes, he did say that.

01:42:44.000 I think at one point he's like, I want to apologize to the people that had to be hurt from hearing this.

01:42:49.000 And it's, I don't know, we gotta ask Kanye.

01:42:51.000 What if he said Irish Mafia?

01:42:54.000 Look, I get it, I get it.

01:42:56.000 It does invoke these old stereotypes and conspiracy theorists who believe.

01:43:00.000 Like, immediately the response to what he said is the people who believe that there's a Jewish cabal controlling the planet come out in droves and start saying this stuff.

01:43:08.000 That's why I'm like, bro.

01:43:10.000 I mean, even Nick Cannon, he said a whole bunch of things, so we're like, you know, basically backing Farrakhan forever.

01:43:15.000 That's exactly it?

01:43:16.000 Yeah.

01:43:16.000 Yo, if people realized how widespread the Farrakhan stuff was, they might be like, hey, wait a minute.

01:43:21.000 It's not just Kanye if you're mad, you know?

01:43:24.000 All right, Corn Pops Hairy Legs says, Lincoln was a devout white supremacist.

01:43:29.000 You don't know the Corbyn Amendment, the moral tariff, and more.

01:43:33.000 Get Thomas DiLorenzo from Mises on your show to talk Civil War.

01:43:36.000 You know very little for the amount you talk about it.

01:43:39.000 I know I know very little.

01:43:40.000 I've watched a handful of documentaries, read a few historical scholarly articles, and this is broad surface level stuff.

01:43:48.000 But sure, Thomas DiLorenzo, DiLorenzo from Mises Caucus, you know, we'll bring him on.

01:43:53.000 Let's get him and Dave, we'll talk Civil War, that'll be fun. 0.96

01:43:56.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:43:57.000 Oh yeah, but I've read a long time ago some of the Lincoln letters or whatever.

01:44:02.000 I can't remember.

01:44:03.000 It's been like a decade.

01:44:04.000 But dude was like seriously racist.

01:44:07.000 But literally everybody was.

01:44:08.000 Segregation persisted in this country until the 1950s.

01:44:11.000 So anybody who thinks the North was like anti-racist or whatever or believed in equality, you are wrong.

01:44:16.000 Yeah, we were talking about the letters right before the show.

01:44:18.000 The Lincoln letters that were pretty eye-opening.

01:44:21.000 Look at the history of Liberia.

01:44:22.000 Dude, people were racist, man. 0.97

01:44:24.000 Seriously racist.

01:44:25.000 The Corwin Amendment was a constitutional amendment passed in 1861 by Congress, never ratified by the states, that would have banned the federal government from abolishing slavery. 0.50

01:44:33.000 Yeah.

01:44:34.000 In the states where it existed at the time.

01:44:35.000 I was actually reading about that earlier because, um, there was, I think it was New York Mag wrote about the failed amendments, and I think there was like 10,000 that have been proposed.

01:44:46.000 But, like, of course people are always trying to propose amendments, and that was, you know, one of them.

01:44:51.000 All right, Orange Owl says, Tim, I became a member at TimCast.com today and I'm excited for my first live members-only show.

01:44:57.000 Thanks for all for you and the crew do.

01:44:59.000 It's not, the members-only show isn't live, it's recorded.

01:45:01.000 We end the show, we record it, we upload it, so it's video on demand for all of you, but you can comment and we're gonna be doing a contest soon for our members where you may be able to win a new car.

01:45:11.000 I say may because we've talked to the lawyer about it.

01:45:13.000 Because like, yeah, I won't say too much.

01:45:16.000 You gotta be a member.

01:45:16.000 We talked about it last night.

01:45:19.000 All right.

01:45:20.000 Cork Gaming says, Luke, I'll sign up if you get Parallel Economy.

01:45:23.000 I am.

01:45:23.000 I'm in the process of doing that.

01:45:25.000 And I have the other alternative right now as well.

01:45:28.000 So it's all in the works.

01:45:29.000 It's going to happen hopefully soon.

01:45:32.000 Doing all the behind the scenes stuff.

01:45:33.000 It's been in the works for a long time.

01:45:35.000 For Luke Uncensored?

01:45:36.000 LukeUncensored.com.

01:45:37.000 All right, Legomertha Gayen says, I'm a Jew.

01:45:37.000 Yep.

01:45:41.000 The crackdown on yay is idiotic and destructive. 1.00

01:45:43.000 He must be publicly debated for the truth to win. 1.00

01:45:46.000 Muffling the voices of narcissistic attention-seeking fools gives them legitimacy. 0.99

01:45:50.000 It annoys me how this is not obvious. 0.99

01:45:52.000 Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

01:45:54.000 I agree!

01:45:55.000 Not only that, but the actual conspiracy theorists seeing all of this happen are now holding up signs saying, see, see, look what we said.

01:46:01.000 This is not the way to deal with it, man.

01:46:03.000 Kanye is a beloved celebrity, he says something like this, then you need to be like, okay, Kanye, let's have a conversation.

01:46:09.000 And if apparently he was saying he was referring to only eight people, I mean, that seriously changes the context of what he was saying.

01:46:16.000 Great point, great comment, and you said it more eloquently than what I was trying to say earlier. 0.85

01:46:21.000 Ryan Brown says, cancelling my Daily Wire subscription since they want to be hypocrites.

01:46:26.000 That was, but look, I don't know if that's true that they're not having Kanye on, it's just rumors, so, you know, we like Daily Wire.

01:46:31.000 That's what Kanye said, right?

01:46:32.000 That's what Kanye said, and he reiterated it, but, you know, without the specifics.

01:46:35.000 That's one side of the story.

01:46:37.000 Don't feel like you need to jump to conclusions in this situation, it's a long conversation.

01:46:40.000 Yeah, watch the video yourself, and then come up to your own conclusions.

01:46:43.000 Yeah, I'm a fan of what the Daily Wire is doing, so I'll reach out to them and see what's going on.

01:46:48.000 There's got to be a reason.

01:46:49.000 The Daily Wire guys are not scared, you know what I mean?

01:46:52.000 Well, Ben Shapiro still has a lot to answer for, especially with his promotion of something about two years ago that I think definitely needs to be answered.

01:47:00.000 Did you see his video today?

01:47:00.000 Oh, yeah!

01:47:01.000 You know, Ben Shapiro came out furious over the VAX mandates, the policies, the new revelations that have emerged, the lawsuit in New York, so he went off on it.

01:47:12.000 And that's what I said, I'm like, dude, I'm not mad if someone was trusting and got taken advantage of.

01:47:17.000 But he should explain why he spread false information.

01:47:21.000 He should explain why he was wrong.

01:47:23.000 And he should at least admit it and talk about it, because it affected a lot of people.

01:47:26.000 And during that specific time, he made a very bold statement.

01:47:30.000 He said, get it, you dope.

01:47:32.000 He said it's going to stop transmission, and in reality, come on.

01:47:36.000 Well, the New York court ruled that it doesn't stop transmission.

01:47:39.000 You almost lost me!

01:47:40.000 Like, opening that, I was like, you think I'm gonna advocate for- Oh, it was a joke.

01:47:43.000 Congress, Georgia District 7, Gwinnett County, Freedom First candidate running against

01:47:48.000 fake incumbent carpetbagger, JK, Naruto's Red. 0.97

01:47:52.000 You almost lost me.

01:47:53.000 Like opening that, I was like, you think I'm gonna advocate for, oh, it was a joke.

01:47:57.000 Okay, you're cool.

01:47:58.000 Naruto actually was a really, really great show until like the very end with the great Ninja War arc

01:48:04.000 when like aliens showed up and it just didn't make sense anymore.

01:48:07.000 And I was like, what is going on?

01:48:09.000 And now it's like, they were traveling between dimensions and Gabi is an alien, and I'm just like, 0.79

01:48:14.000 dude, you lost me on this.

01:48:15.000 That's crazy, too, because for the entirety of Naruto's run, I was reading, as available, the Scanlations every Wednesday.

01:48:24.000 I'd be like, oh, the new Scanlation's out, and I would read the latest chapter of Naruto.

01:48:28.000 And then it just got to the point where Aliens and, you know, I'm just like, I'm not gonna watch.

01:48:33.000 I finished the series, but now Boruto, I'm just not interested in any of the weird stuff.

01:48:37.000 Alright, what do we got?

01:48:40.000 Wyatt Caldenberg says, Ian, are you guys planning on making a Roku app for your website?

01:48:45.000 That would be interesting if subbing if I could watch your shows on my TV.

01:48:49.000 You talking about TimCast.com?

01:48:52.000 Uh, yeah, that's what I thought was too, probably.

01:48:54.000 And I believe so.

01:48:55.000 Yeah, ultimately that decision's up to Tim, but I think you've mentioned that you want to do that.

01:48:58.000 I have seen the prototype TimCast mobile app.

01:49:01.000 And then after the mobile app comes the OTT stuff.

01:49:03.000 So it looks like the mobile app may be done relatively soon.

01:49:07.000 I was back in Ohio, like I said, over the weekend, and I wanted to show my parents TimCast.com, but they didn't have it on their TV, so I only had to show them the YouTube clips from Cast Castle.

01:49:07.000 I'm excited.

01:49:15.000 I mean, they have YouTube on the TV, right?

01:49:17.000 It was challenging to get to.

01:49:17.000 Soon.

01:49:17.000 I don't know.

01:49:20.000 Carl Schneider says, looks like Elon's going to need to buy $5,000 participation trophies.

01:49:23.000 $5,000 participation trophies?

01:49:25.000 $5,000 ones?

01:49:28.000 All right, all right.

01:49:31.000 Where are we at?

01:49:33.000 Miguel D says, all humans are susceptible to in-group preference and collusion.

01:49:38.000 Jews are no different. 0.99

01:49:39.000 With great power comes great responsibility.

01:49:41.000 You know, I think that's, you know, an important thing to point out that every group is susceptible, as they said, to in-group or out-group preference.

01:49:50.000 The issue that when it comes to things like what Kanye West said with like Jewish Mafia or going DEFCON 3 on Jews.

01:49:55.000 Which was a misspeak.

01:49:57.000 He meant DEFCON.

01:49:58.000 Right, I know.

01:50:00.000 The problem is that World War II wasn't that long ago, and it was, like, really horrific what happened.

01:50:06.000 And that being said, like, for me, I don't like the idea of singling out any group that's been genocided.

01:50:11.000 I mean, the Armenian Genocide, you have the Holodomor. 0.99

01:50:13.000 You know, so I understand if people are concerned about old tropes that were used to justify things like genocide.

01:50:19.000 I get it.

01:50:20.000 You know.

01:50:21.000 Also in the chat, people are saying that Ben Shapiro did address that specific concern I had.

01:50:25.000 I haven't seen it.

01:50:26.000 If you could send it to me, please do on my Twitter.

01:50:28.000 Luke, we are changing.

01:50:29.000 I would love to see it.

01:50:30.000 I'm pretty sure he was pissed off.

01:50:32.000 I'm pretty sure he was like, I mean, but look.

01:50:35.000 I watched it, but it wasn't at the center of my attention.

01:50:40.000 I had it playing on Twitter.

01:50:41.000 But I can only imagine, if you're someone like Ben Shapiro, and you took a political stance, only later do you find out they took advantage of you, he's probably going to be pissed.

01:50:49.000 He does not like to be wrong.

01:50:50.000 Well, he's Mr. Facts Guy.

01:50:52.000 He got that one completely wrong, and if he came out and actually corrected himself, my apologies, but I want to see it first.

01:51:01.000 Slick Solomon says, Tim, the average amount of hands per person is less than two.

01:51:06.000 That's right, because the maximum typically is two, and some people don't have two, so that means the average will be lower.

01:51:12.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:51:13.000 says, Tim, a man of all people, arms or no arms?

01:51:16.000 I mean, yeah, people, you know, if you only got one or no arms, you only need a shirt, right?

01:51:20.000 Why would you have just empty sleeves?

01:51:22.000 Do we live in a world for only the armful?

01:51:24.000 Come on.

01:51:27.000 Jacob Wertheimer, long time chatter, first time listener.

01:51:31.000 Really?

01:51:31.000 Tim and crew, thanks for all the red pills in 2020 while I was confined in my parents' basement.

01:51:36.000 You inspired me to be kicked out.

01:51:38.000 Life has never been better.

01:51:39.000 I'm engaged.

01:51:40.000 Please have What If All History on.

01:51:42.000 It would be epic.

01:51:43.000 I think we will.

01:51:44.000 Yeah.

01:51:45.000 You know, hopefully soon.

01:51:46.000 Do you know where he's based out of?

01:51:46.000 I don't know.

01:51:49.000 I think he's been living all over the world recently.

01:51:50.000 He's been talking about he's been living in a bunch of different countries.

01:51:52.000 He did a couple of programs on that.

01:51:54.000 He did his video on who would win a civil war.

01:51:56.000 It's got like a million views.

01:51:57.000 And it was recommended to me.

01:51:57.000 Yeah.

01:51:58.000 And it was really good.

01:52:00.000 I disagree on his assessment, though.

01:52:01.000 He makes a bunch of good points as to why he thinks the right would win.

01:52:04.000 But I think there's just too much missing from like... No single person knows enough about how loyalties break down or not.

01:52:12.000 Yeah, it could be a situation where the entire system is eradicated and something completely foreign erupts. 1.00

01:52:18.000 Like, it doesn't have to be A versus B and one of those will emerge.

01:52:22.000 There could be a major geographical shift in the next four years, which definitely changes coastal and rural.

01:52:29.000 We're already seeing it.

01:52:30.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:52:31.000 Just like all the people that are in the chat should remember that the Californians moving to Texas are not all blue.

01:52:35.000 A lot of them are red.

01:52:36.000 They're trying to move where they're more akin to the people that are around who they live.

01:52:39.000 And what did, what did Hochul say?

01:52:41.000 Get out.

01:52:42.000 Yeah.

01:52:42.000 The Republicans.

01:52:43.000 So eventually you might see states where you're like, they would never succeed.

01:52:46.000 It's like, well, all the Republicans left.

01:52:48.000 It's nothing but Democrats.

01:52:48.000 They'll vote.

01:52:49.000 They'll say goodbye.

01:52:50.000 They'll try and join Canada or whatever.

01:52:52.000 Who knows?

01:52:52.000 Yeah.

01:52:55.000 Mr. Thou says Ian Pryor is just Ian Crosland from the past.

01:52:59.000 Get it?

01:53:00.000 Ian Pryor?

01:53:01.000 Ha ha! 0.86

01:53:02.000 He who came before.

01:53:03.000 That's right, that's right.

01:53:05.000 Thank you.

01:53:06.000 Talks with Candor said- Get my hair out.

01:53:07.000 Yes.

01:53:08.000 Try to close my PayPal account.

01:53:10.000 Kept getting speeches to keep it open.

01:53:12.000 Finally, they try to close it, but kept finding issues.

01:53:17.000 I have to wait 48 hours for an email before they can close the account.

01:53:21.000 Mm-hmm, I call BS.

01:53:23.000 I agree.

01:53:24.000 Sam Nooney says, if possible, it would be great to have Tudor Dixon on.

01:53:28.000 We have to get rid of Whitmer, who sent 5,600 seniors to their death, among so many other terrible things.

01:53:35.000 Yeah, that'd be great.

01:53:36.000 I'm down.

01:53:37.000 You know, whatever.

01:53:37.000 Yeah, we talked about that yesterday.

01:53:38.000 I was like, we gotta get, you know.

01:53:40.000 But we're so close to the election.

01:53:41.000 I'll just say this, if, you know, who do we need to have on?

01:53:46.000 We need to have on probably Bolduc, I'd imagine.

01:53:49.000 That'd be an interesting conversation, because, you know, why New Hampshire is going Democrat in the Senate is strange.

01:53:55.000 And Tudor Dixon would be fantastic.

01:53:57.000 We had Mastriano on Carrie Lake's been on several times.

01:54:00.000 I think Carrie Lake will one day be president, or at the very least, if she wanted to run, she has that A-factor, you know, X-factor, A-lister, whatever you want to call it. 1.00

01:54:10.000 S-tier.

01:54:11.000 Minimum VP.

01:54:12.000 Minimum.

01:54:14.000 I have Democrat friends saying that, and they like her.

01:54:17.000 Oh, she's... You know, when Luke says VP, I'm like, I don't know if she's presidential.

01:54:22.000 I say minimum.

01:54:23.000 I don't think... Minimally, that position.

01:54:25.000 I disagree.

01:54:27.000 Like, and what I mean by that is, like, you look at VPs, you know, and it's like, but you look at Carrie Lake and it's like, yo, she could be president.

01:54:35.000 I don't agree with some of her positions, but she's on it. 0.90

01:54:37.000 She is absolutely smart and brilliant when it comes to her addressing the media.

01:54:42.000 Wow.

01:54:43.000 You just called a politician brilliant.

01:54:45.000 That's a first.

01:54:47.000 Well, it's not saying much compared to the other politicians, to be honest with you.

01:54:51.000 So let's be real.

01:54:52.000 They do fail in many elements.

01:54:53.000 But PR-wise, she's brilliant.

01:54:55.000 There's never any upside to VP, right?

01:54:58.000 I mean, best case scenario, you're just kind of sitting there waiting.

01:55:01.000 Worst case scenario, you're Kamala doing a Billy Madison speech everywhere. 1.00

01:55:05.000 I think I would like that.

01:55:08.000 That would fit my personality really well.

01:55:10.000 Because no one would want me to be president.

01:55:12.000 Well, maybe they would, but people would be like, do not make sure that president succeeds because we do not want Crazy Crossland coming in. 0.71

01:55:21.000 Chuck W. That's true.

01:55:22.000 Chuck W. says, Elon personally delivered a message to Twitter.

01:55:25.000 Friday, he will clean house, including the kitchen sink.

01:55:29.000 What if he live streams it?

01:55:30.000 Elon, please live stream it!

01:55:32.000 And he like, he can't for legal reasons, but if, you know, he just walks in, he's like, I'm here, I'm in Twitter HQ, I now, I own it, I'm taking it private, and I have this list of names, I'm going to read them off one at a time, it's 5,000 employees, and I'm gonna read every name.

01:55:49.000 John Smith, You're fired.

01:55:52.000 Janet Doe, you're fired. 0.99

01:55:54.000 That would, I would, I would watch the whole thing.

01:55:57.000 I would, I would actually do like a reaction live stream, just sitting there being like, eating a bowl of cereal.

01:56:03.000 He wouldn't do it because, um, you know, legal reasons, reading out people's names or whatever.

01:56:09.000 But he could do it on Twitter, I guess.

01:56:11.000 Because he can't get banned from his own platform.

01:56:13.000 He owns it.

01:56:13.000 Yeah.

01:56:14.000 Think about the crazy things he's going to tweet when he's like... He's going to tweet something really silly and gross and be like, but I own Twitter so no one's going to ban me.

01:56:22.000 There's going to be a period of creative genius that's going to be embarked on if everything goes as planned with Twitter.

01:56:29.000 Twitterissance.

01:56:30.000 Yeah, Twitterissance.

01:56:31.000 There you go.

01:56:32.000 Twitterissance.

01:56:32.000 You said it.

01:56:33.000 Yeah, something like that.

01:56:34.000 How long do you think it's going to take for Elon to just change the system?

01:56:39.000 Like, look, look, all the moderators are still doing their jobs.

01:56:43.000 Elon buying it.

01:56:45.000 Like, is he gonna put out a memo being like, hey, if you're a trust and safety person, no longer banned for these reasons?

01:56:49.000 Like, how does that work?

01:56:50.000 The monitors will be fired.

01:56:52.000 75% of the company is going to be laid off.

01:56:54.000 Most of those people are just complaining about people and then downranking their accounts or banning accounts.

01:57:00.000 I want you to imagine.

01:57:01.000 It's Friday night.

01:57:03.000 You know, we're wrapping up the show and we're like, oh, it's been fun.

01:57:06.000 You know, we're gonna go grab a drink and hang out.

01:57:08.000 And then as you're turning off the TimCast IRL show, You say, all right, well, you know, let's see if anybody wants to go out and grab a drink.

01:57:15.000 Maybe your central time.

01:57:16.000 And then all of a sudden your phone goes... And you go... And you look at your screen.

01:57:20.000 There's a notification and it says, Tweet by Alex Jones.

01:57:24.000 I'm back, baby.

01:57:26.000 And then you're going to open it up.

01:57:28.000 And it's going to be him in a video going...

01:57:31.000 That'd be great.

01:57:32.000 With his shirt off, just screaming.

01:57:33.000 Ripping his shirt off, screaming, I'm back!

01:57:36.000 I'm thinking of it.

01:57:36.000 I could see it.

01:57:36.000 Come on, Elon, you have to do it!

01:57:38.000 Twitio, if you can, you know, you brand video for Twitter as Twitio.

01:57:43.000 They used to have Periscope. 1.00

01:57:45.000 They obliterated Periscope, which is so stupid. 0.99

01:57:48.000 Vine was huge. 0.99

01:57:49.000 Now TikTok took over. 1.00

01:57:51.000 How stupid was that? 1.00

01:57:53.000 Yeah, dumb, dumb decisions. 1.00

01:57:54.000 Vine got bought. 1.00

01:57:55.000 I think they sold out and then got shut down.

01:57:57.000 Twitter bought Vine, then shut it down.

01:57:58.000 That's right. 1.00

01:57:59.000 That's so stupid. 1.00

01:58:00.000 Idiotics. 1.00

01:58:01.000 Dumbasses like seriously he could bring all that back. 0.99

01:58:06.000 Yeah, probably well videos where you have to compete Yeah, so there was a report Twitter is struggling to keep its power users. 0.99

01:58:13.000 They're slowly dwindling and I think Elon knows this Well, here's what I think happened.

01:58:18.000 When Twitter bans, you know, Alex Jones or Milo, it's making themselves irrelevant.

01:58:24.000 I said this years ago.

01:58:26.000 You ban the most obnoxious people, what's the point of being on the platform?

01:58:31.000 So they start losing users.

01:58:33.000 Now they have a disproportionate leftist base.

01:58:35.000 The left, now with leverage, starts saying, you better ban more people.

01:58:38.000 And they're like, but we need our super users.

01:58:40.000 They're like, well, we'll quit.

01:58:42.000 And they're like, well, There's more leftists now, and we don't want to lose them, so just ban the conservative guy.

01:58:47.000 And it's just a downward spiral.

01:58:49.000 Elon Musk comes in, brings back Alex Jones, brings back Donald Trump.

01:58:52.000 Yo, Donald Trump would make people go back on Twitter.

01:58:55.000 They'd make more money, hands down.

01:58:56.000 I don't think Trump would come back on, though.

01:58:59.000 I don't know if he'd want to, but he has to.

01:59:00.000 The corporate media would secretly love it, but publicly hate it.

01:59:04.000 They'd be like, yes!

01:59:05.000 Finally, he's back!

01:59:06.000 I have a life!

01:59:07.000 All the reply guys are gonna be so happy, but they're gonna pretend that they're not.

01:59:10.000 It's a good incentive to federate Truth Social and Twitter and Gab and Parler and Mines.

01:59:18.000 When I was working at the Department of Justice in 17 and 18, Anytime Trump tweeted.

01:59:24.000 Reporters were in the same building as us, right?

01:59:26.000 So they were down the hall.

01:59:27.000 Anytime Trump tweeted something about anything, they'd all come running down the hall.

01:59:32.000 Do you have a comment on Trump's tweet?

01:59:33.000 Do you have a comment on Trump's tweet?

01:59:34.000 It was like the one thing that would just get them running down the aisle.

01:59:37.000 It was like, eh, no comment, no comment, no comment.

01:59:39.000 Just, it was like crack for them.

01:59:41.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:59:42.000 Ready to Rumble says, did you just say Carrie Lake is scum? 1.00

01:59:46.000 Never! 1.00

01:59:46.000 No. 1.00

01:59:47.000 Carrie Lake's amazing!

01:59:48.000 We've had her on the show a couple times, and I'll tell you exactly why I say this.

01:59:52.000 Aside from the videos, which are awesome when she smacks the media down with their BS and their lies, we've had a lot of politicians on this show. 1.00

01:59:59.000 And, you know, whenever I get like a message like, oh, you know, this politician wants to come on, or that politician, I'm like, oh, here we go.

02:00:04.000 Politicians.

02:00:06.000 I know how politicians talk and how they act.

02:00:08.000 We've had a handful of people.

02:00:09.000 We've had like Thomas Massey, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carrie Lake.

02:00:13.000 They are the opposite of politicians.

02:00:15.000 They come in and they sit and talk to you like they're anybody else.

02:00:18.000 Carrie Lake is especially good because she's quick-witted, she's smart, she knows her stuff. 1.00

02:00:22.000 And so it's just like...

02:00:23.000 Having a real conversation with someone who you feel is genuine.

02:00:28.000 And we asked her some complicated, off-the-cuff questions that I didn't even have prepared.

02:00:33.000 Like DMT?

02:00:33.000 Yeah, DMT, criminal justice reform, war on drugs, a lot of different stuff we got into that I thought was important that wasn't scripted, and I appreciate that.

02:00:42.000 Yeah, I think it's because Carrie Lake actually has thought about these problems and these ideas, actually wants to fix them, and has real opinions on them. 0.99

02:00:49.000 And a lot of politicians will hem and haw and give you a political answer because they don't know, they don't care, they just want to get elected.

02:00:55.000 Well, I think the biggest difference was that she was also willing to say, I don't know.

02:00:59.000 Very few politicians do that.

02:01:00.000 They give you a bullcrap answer and they just talk around the question and give out generalities.

02:01:06.000 She wasn't afraid to say, I don't know.

02:01:07.000 I don't know what DMT is.

02:01:10.000 What is it?

02:01:11.000 Tell me what it is.

02:01:12.000 Now she knows.

02:01:12.000 What's up, Kerry?

02:01:14.000 Cosmic Surgeon says, Tim is obviously not a We Are Change subscriber.

02:01:19.000 Who isn't?

02:01:19.000 Tim, apparently.

02:01:20.000 Yeah, why aren't you?

02:01:23.000 Are you?

02:01:24.000 Answer the question, Senator!

02:01:25.000 We are Change.

02:01:28.000 You know, it's a great question.

02:01:29.000 And I think We Are Change, it's an excellent show.
