Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Leftist Arrested For Attempted Murder Of Paul Pelosi, Targeted Nancy w-Gavin Wax

00:00:00.000 A deranged man broke into the Pelosi's home in the wee hours of the morning, mercilessly

00:00:24.000 beating Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul with a hammer, fracturing his skull, seriously injuring

00:00:30.000 him.

00:00:32.000 Paul Pelosi is expected to recover, but he had to get brain surgery.

00:00:35.000 It turns out now, first, the individual was seeking Nancy, screaming, where's Nancy?

00:00:41.000 And now we have information on this individual's potential motivations.

00:00:46.000 Well, the media initially reported that he had anti-COVID conspiracies and was posting things about the election.

00:00:51.000 It turns out he's a self-identified member of the Green Party, has a pride flag in front of his house, and is a nudist.

00:00:57.000 I don't know if you can necessarily put him in any camp, because he's maybe just crazy, But he's a self-identified member of the Green Party, so that's the left.

00:01:08.000 I mean, I know many of the higher-profile leftists would reject that, and well, you know, it is what it is.

00:01:14.000 But I'll make sure we make that clear. 0.94

00:01:16.000 This guy's a crazy person, and I'm not convinced that what he was doing reflects on any coherent ideology. 0.90

00:01:25.000 If someone showed up to the Pelosi's house with a clear understanding of what was going on and a political mission, I would say that was political and that was, you know, intended to be some kind of assassination. 0.99

00:01:33.000 But this, this guy just seems crazy.

00:01:35.000 But we'll read the story.

00:01:37.000 We'll get into that.

00:01:37.000 And also, we have way more developments on the Elon Musk story.

00:01:40.000 At first, it was reported he was going to be unbanning people.

00:01:44.000 Then he said, no, no, no one's getting unbanned until a diverse moderation committee comes together and convenes.

00:01:51.000 Then he said, anybody who is arbitrarily banned or dubiously banned will be reinstated.

00:01:56.000 So, should get interesting.

00:01:58.000 We'll go through that and a bunch of other stories.

00:02:01.000 Some people are claiming bots are being purged as leftists lose followers, but oddly, non-leftists and conservatives are gaining tons of followers.

00:02:09.000 So, we'll see.

00:02:37.000 Thanks for having me back, Tim.

00:02:38.000 Great to be here.

00:02:39.000 Who are you?

00:02:40.000 I'm a columnist with Town Hall, Newsmax, American Greatness.

00:02:44.000 I'm the head of the New York Young Republican Club.

00:02:46.000 We're the oldest and largest club in the country.

00:02:49.000 And I'm a co-author of an upcoming book, The Emerging Populist Majority, which should head to print this December.

00:02:56.000 And I'm writing it with my co-author and a good friend, Iraq War veteran Troy Olson.

00:03:01.000 Right on, right on.

00:03:02.000 We also got the t-shirt vendor.

00:03:03.000 Hey guys, my name's Luke Rudasky here of wearechange.org and today I decided to wear my free as a bird shirt.

00:03:10.000 It of course highlights Elon Musk smoking a doobie inside of the Twitter logo.

00:03:14.000 If you like this shirt you could get it on thebestpoliticalshirts.com.

00:03:18.000 Because you do, I am here.

00:03:19.000 Thank you again so much for having me.

00:03:21.000 I like that one a lot, Luke, and I want it.

00:03:23.000 I'll mail you one.

00:03:24.000 I want the one off your back. 0.84

00:03:25.000 Yeah, that'd be great.

00:03:26.000 I'm a medium.

00:03:28.000 I'm a large.

00:03:29.000 I was not around yesterday.

00:03:30.000 Great news.

00:03:31.000 We needed you.

00:03:31.000 Elon picked it up.

00:03:33.000 I know that now I see that he's starting a council.

00:03:35.000 He wants to get advisors on to figure out how to go about adjudicating the system.

00:03:39.000 So Elon, I am available if you want.

00:03:40.000 Some people have nominated me for this council, and I can put you in touch with a lot of great free software advocates.

00:03:46.000 We can get in touch with Chris, you already know Chris Pavlovsky, but we'll just start organizing a lot of the heads of the social media organizations and then see if we can start federating and beyond.

00:03:55.000 There's things better than federation, better than the Fediverse, like Noster, N-O-S-T-E-R particularly.

00:04:00.000 We'll talk more about that as it becomes topical.

00:04:04.000 And I am Serge.com.

00:04:06.000 Liked Twitter so far.

00:04:07.000 We've only been on it for like a day.

00:04:08.000 It's been interesting.

00:04:09.000 It's also been a lot of bad stuff too.

00:04:11.000 And my friends, we also have a new shirt!

00:04:13.000 That's right, we too sell shirts.

00:04:15.000 Head over to TimCast.com, click Store, and you can get our new design, Stand Your Ground, in honor of Roberto Jr., the noble rooster.

00:04:24.000 So we have shirts with the image of the, it's Roberto Jr., and he's going like, and it says, Stand Your Ground.

00:04:29.000 And we actually have flags and stickers and posters.

00:04:32.000 This one is a poster, 24 by 36, and it is a rooster raising his wings and, you know, he's standing his ground.

00:04:38.000 The reason why we chose this is that roosters will sacrifice their lives to save their hens.

00:04:44.000 They will charge full speed at a predator they know will kill them if it grants the

00:04:50.000 hens even a few more moments to try and survive. 1.00

00:04:53.000 Be like the noble rooster.

00:04:55.000 Stand tall and be willing to sacrifice for the greater good and the ones you care about.

00:05:00.000 I had the idea because we were, you know, I was reading about the Gadsden flag.

00:05:04.000 Don't tread on me, the snake will bite you.

00:05:06.000 And then I was like, but what about the noble rooster?

00:05:08.000 The noble rooster who would die to save those he cares about.

00:05:12.000 I mean, that's powerful stuff right there.

00:05:14.000 And then I honestly, I just really wanted the flag.

00:05:16.000 So I got a flag made and we're going to have it.

00:05:18.000 And I think it's really cool.

00:05:19.000 Go to TimCast.com, check the store if you want to pick that one up.

00:05:22.000 Let's jump to the first story from the San Francisco Chronicle.

00:05:25.000 What we know about David DePape, man accused of attacking Paul Pelosi with a hammer.

00:05:32.000 First and foremost, the story is he broke into the house, I believe it was in the wee hours of the morning, screaming, where's Nancy?

00:05:37.000 That's what they've reported.

00:05:38.000 And then mercilessly beat Paul Pelosi with a hammer. 0.92

00:05:41.000 I mean, it's deranged and unhinged.

00:05:43.000 But many people are trying to figure out what the motivations of this man was.

00:05:46.000 Of course, immediately, people on the right were saying, sounds like crime.

00:05:50.000 It's San Francisco.

00:05:51.000 Why would we assume otherwise?

00:05:52.000 I think that's logical.

00:05:54.000 Many on the left said, clearly, it's Republicans, it's MAGA, this is what they want for you.

00:05:59.000 Well, they were wrong.

00:06:00.000 It turns out, he listed himself as a member of the Green Party.

00:06:04.000 Voting records show DiPape listed himself as a member of the Green Party years ago.

00:06:08.000 So this is not somebody who just had it on his profile, it's not the media just claiming it, it's actually in his records.

00:06:14.000 Green Party.

00:06:16.000 Yo, Green Party is leftist.

00:06:18.000 Now, it's not like Antifa, it's not like Democrats or anything.

00:06:22.000 It's like its own, you know, sect of leftists, but that's what it is.

00:06:27.000 It was an unhinged leftist conspiracy theorist.

00:06:30.000 When I talk to people on the left, and I say that the left has their share of conspiracy weirdos, they always tell me that's not true.

00:06:37.000 And then you point out the weird hippie crystals, natural health, anti-government, anti-war stuff, and they say, oh, but that's not really left-wing. 0.95

00:06:44.000 And I'm just like, shut up, dude. 0.72

00:06:45.000 Bro, the guy was a leftist. 0.98

00:06:47.000 I'm not saying that's why he did it.

00:06:48.000 He was an anti-government conspiracy theorist.

00:06:51.000 This doesn't have to be about politics.

00:06:53.000 It can be about a crazy guy, but... Being for natural health isn't a conspiracy theory, but anyway... I'm not saying that!

00:07:00.000 I'm saying there are conspiracy theorists who have, like, a conspiracy view of natural health stuff.

00:07:06.000 It's kind of sad how, you know, something tragic happens, something really bad happens, someone gets seriously hurt, and the first thing that happens is everyone jumps online trying to blame it on some other political opponent for their own political purposes. 0.85

00:07:18.000 I think it's fair to say this guy was crazy. 0.98

00:07:19.000 He was unhinged. 1.00

00:07:20.000 He was absolutely a lunatic. 1.00

00:07:22.000 And it's horrible. 1.00

00:07:24.000 It sucks what happened here.

00:07:25.000 And of course, it should be always said that this should never happen. 0.99

00:07:28.000 And not out of place in San Francisco, which has a massive mental health crisis.

00:07:32.000 You have people like this, this Green Party guy all over the streets.

00:07:35.000 So, I mean, it goes without saying that it's probably just a matter of the crime, the homelessness.

00:07:40.000 I think he had a house.

00:07:40.000 He lived with roommates or something.

00:07:42.000 Dude had a pride.

00:07:43.000 There's a pride flag, an American flag, pride flag in front of the house, apparently.

00:07:46.000 Well, he was living in Berkeley as part of a nudist organization and group, too.

00:07:51.000 A public safety investigative reporter for NBC Bay Area posted this image of this house, and there's a pride flag.

00:07:56.000 That is not a right-wing dude.

00:07:57.000 Now, look, I agree with you, Luke, and I also think there's an inherent problem with how we try to fairly represent this.

00:08:05.000 When it was only known That he posted election conspiracy theories.

00:08:12.000 They were all saying, oh, it's MAGA, it's Trump supporters, this proves it.

00:08:16.000 They immediately latched on and went for the political attack.

00:08:19.000 Then we find out it's a Green Party guy with a pride flag and we go, guys, guys, calm down, we shouldn't make this political, right?

00:08:26.000 That's a huge problem.

00:08:27.000 I'm not saying I know a solution.

00:08:29.000 I say we should ban nudists and put them into camps. 0.99

00:08:33.000 Clearly, the nudists are surely responsible for all of this, and they were working for this all along, especially with their secret society and organization that they have set up in San Francisco, where they have been clearly popping up out of nowhere, randomly, all the time, I'm telling you.

00:08:47.000 What if, I want you to bear with me, and I want you to imagine a perfect world for a moment, Tomorrow, Nancy Pelosi holds a press conference, and she says, I cannot believe what happened to my husband!

00:09:01.000 If he had a Magnum 357, this wouldn't have happened!

00:09:06.000 I am now in favor of the Second Amendment!

00:09:08.000 That was my second thought.

00:09:09.000 The first thought was, well, how injured was he?

00:09:11.000 Hopefully he's okay, kind of thing.

00:09:13.000 And then the second thing was like, did he have a gun?

00:09:15.000 He didn't fire on this home intruder.

00:09:18.000 We should have a gun in San Francisco, bro!

00:09:19.000 Yeah, so like, if he had had a gun and the guy broke in with a hammer to crack his skull, he probably would have fired on the guy, put him down, and then ended the invasion.

00:09:27.000 Ian, Ian, that again is a radical idea that makes no sense at all.

00:09:30.000 Clearly what we have to do here is ban hammers.

00:09:33.000 Hammers are the problem.

00:09:34.000 There's too many of them. 0.92

00:09:35.000 And nudity. 0.91

00:09:36.000 Anyone could just get them without any background checks.

00:09:38.000 Anyone could just transfer a hammer to another person.

00:09:41.000 Clearly, right now, the government has to intervene.

00:09:43.000 Go to Home Depot immediately.

00:09:45.000 Shut down the hammers.

00:09:46.000 No, no, no.

00:09:47.000 No one is actually saying ban hammers.

00:09:49.000 We just want common sense hammer control. 0.95

00:09:52.000 No military-grade hammer handles.

00:09:55.000 We don't want any scary hammer heads. 0.98

00:09:58.000 No black hammers.

00:09:59.000 No black hammers at all.

00:10:01.000 It needs to have an orange tip.

00:10:02.000 No bump stock.

00:10:03.000 No bump stock hammers.

00:10:06.000 It's time to start making the memes, whatever.

00:10:09.000 It's time to start making the memes.

00:10:11.000 We need to start making memes of bump stock hammers, pistol grip hammers, pump action hammers.

00:10:16.000 Just have at it, friends.

00:10:18.000 AR-15 with a hammer attachment.

00:10:22.000 Hammer foregrip.

00:10:23.000 But you brought up a great point, Ian.

00:10:24.000 Absolutely, people should be armed, especially if they're elderly, especially if they're living in a crime-ridden place like San Francisco, especially if they're Popular and everyone knows where they live.

00:10:35.000 This is not the first time that the Pelosi's have had their house targeted.

00:10:38.000 Everyone should have the right to defend themselves.

00:10:40.000 And whether you're a woman or someone who's elderly or someone who's who's weak or fragile, whatever it may be, what is the great equalizer?

00:10:48.000 Is you having the ability to be able to defend yourself in a firearm?

00:10:51.000 Does that more and better than anything else out there?

00:10:54.000 I also want to know what what Prescriptions he was on what pills because this is really what it comes down to it's a mental health crisis We got a lot of people on these these heavy antidepressants and it sends them off the deep end And yeah, maybe he was just a nice hippie peaceful Berkeley guy, you know Just living out his best life in the nude and then he snapped.

00:11:11.000 That's the real story.

00:11:12.000 Maybe he ate Taco Bell And then it just went like And some raw milk.

00:11:17.000 Maybe the Taco Bell had a bunch of SSRIs in it that someone just laced in there accidentally when they were working for the company and then you know that brain chemistry just got all out of whack and then bada bing bada boom.

00:11:27.000 Now this is not a natural health conspiracy but I do think if you eat nothing but fast food your brain is probably going to be messed up in a certain way. 0.76

00:11:35.000 What I mean is, simply put, you're probably missing some nutrients if you're only eating a lot of this garbage.

00:11:41.000 Like, that Super Size Me guy, he said the reason he wanted to eat McDonald's for 30 days was because if they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, they clearly want you to be eating it.

00:11:50.000 Their response was like, we don't expect someone to eat nothing but McDonald's, but it's like, dude, if you're selling food, People are going to eat your food.

00:11:57.000 That should be the regulatory standard.

00:11:58.000 It's like, if you only eat your food for X period of time, what are the impacts?

00:12:03.000 It shouldn't just be the one-off time you eat it.

00:12:05.000 It should be a set period of time over a month, whatever it is.

00:12:08.000 Yeah, otherwise you shouldn't have a prescription.

00:12:10.000 Right.

00:12:11.000 If you're not able to have it, well, I guess, what do they say with alcohol?

00:12:13.000 Just use it at your discretion?

00:12:15.000 Well, that's how prescriptions are regulated.

00:12:16.000 How does it impact you over the entire time of the prescription?

00:12:19.000 It should be the same if you're for food, a month, two months, whatever it is.

00:12:23.000 So here's what's funny.

00:12:25.000 They say in the San Francisco Chronicle that the dude had a blog with screeds about the ruling class, right-wing conspiracy theories, and racial slurs.

00:12:33.000 Yo, the populist stuff is left and right.

00:12:36.000 That's the thing.

00:12:36.000 Like, he was Green Party.

00:12:38.000 It was funny, I saw someone post, I can't remember who posted it, they said that like the Venn diagram of a Trump supporter and a nudist Berkeley hippie is not a circle.

00:12:48.000 And I'm like, it probably overlaps to be completely like for real.

00:12:53.000 A bunch of anti-war leftists became Trump supporters.

00:12:56.000 Well, eight million Obama voters, nine, voted for Trump.

00:13:00.000 I mean, there was a huge Bernie contingent after the primary.

00:13:03.000 I mean, this is a real phenomenon, and like you said, it's a populism that crosses partisan lines, and it really just speaks to the anti-establishment nature of a lot of these guys.

00:13:12.000 He's clearly anti-establishment if you're going to try to assign any kind of overarching political ideology to him, but beyond that, I mean, where this guy falls on a right-left spectrum, who knows?

00:13:22.000 They mentioned you posted Q stuff too. 0.97

00:13:24.000 And that's why I'm like, the dude's clearly just crazy.

00:13:26.000 But if you want to play games, you know, in the media, well, he was a Green Party. 0.75

00:13:31.000 There you go.

00:13:31.000 Yeah, I think when you talk about ruling class, it's really an economic issue.

00:13:35.000 And that can be left or right.

00:13:37.000 Or up or down, I suppose.

00:13:38.000 Well, it's really not, yeah, it's not that linear spectrum.

00:13:41.000 It's that square, you know, the libertarians always like to use with the authoritarian, non-authoritarian, economic, statism, you know, laissez-faire.

00:13:50.000 So, if you put it on that, it makes a little more sense, but... He was a hemp jewelry maker.

00:13:55.000 Like, I just... No wonder he went off.

00:13:57.000 He's probably blown his mind out on psychoactives, is my guess.

00:14:01.000 Where's Nancy? 0.99

00:14:02.000 So, Daily Mail says he had a hit list of other politicians.

00:14:05.000 Yeah.

00:14:05.000 Well, I'm glad he's behind bars.

00:14:06.000 What's his status right now?

00:14:08.000 He's facing attempted murder charges right now.

00:14:10.000 Was he going to be let off?

00:14:11.000 He's Canadian.

00:14:12.000 Oh, there you go.

00:14:13.000 Also, apparently anti-Semitic as well. 1.00

00:14:16.000 I think he's just crazy. 0.81

00:14:18.000 And, you know, it's funny that what's going to happen now based on the Q stuff and the election stuff is the left is going to say he's a right winger. 0.89

00:14:25.000 And then when you point out he's a Green Party, they're going to be like, no, that doesn't matter because he did this.

00:14:29.000 You know what I mean?

00:14:30.000 What annoys me about this is that you go to the city and you have attacks like this on the subway weekly, monthly, constantly. 0.98

00:14:37.000 Asian Americans, Jewish Americans, whoever it is, they get attacked by lunatics like this.

00:14:42.000 And those guys are out, you know, within a week from bail reform or whatever. 0.96

00:14:45.000 And then obviously it finally hits home to the elites.

00:14:48.000 And I'm not trying to downplay it.

00:14:49.000 It's obviously horrible what happened to her husband, but it just goes to show that, you know, it's only becoming an issue and there's only going to be some serious There was a guy in New York City that was caught on a viral video putting an axe in front of a woman's face after smashing up a McDonald's, threatening to essentially kill her with it.

00:15:07.000 He got out the next day!

00:15:08.000 And he was on New York One, he was doing interviews, he was on the media circuit, and he was like, oh, listen, it was hot, I had a rough day, and it was like, this could have been this guy.

00:15:16.000 And then a couple days later, he got arrested again!

00:15:19.000 From stealing a bike and running away after doing graffiti.

00:15:21.000 And again, this guy, of course, is going to have a very stiff sentence.

00:15:25.000 This guy is, of course, going to be kept in jail.

00:15:27.000 Other people who commit other crimes, other crazy people, on regular Joe Smoes, they just get let go every single day because of the George Soros-appointed district attorneys all throughout the United States that have been causing havoc everywhere.

00:15:39.000 And when I was talking about banning hammers and blunt objects, we got to understand, many years, according to the FBI statistics, more people have died from hammers than rifles.

00:15:48.000 I'm pretty sure it's illegal to walk around Chicago with a baseball bat.

00:15:51.000 Well, it depends.

00:15:52.000 If you're coming from a baseball field, it depends on how you're brandishing it, right?

00:15:57.000 My understanding, at least this is what the cops told us, they were like, if we see you with a baseball bat, we can arrest you for possession of a weapon.

00:16:04.000 But typically, if you have a baseball bat and a baseball together, they could, but you probably won't get in trouble.

00:16:11.000 But that's how broken things are.

00:16:13.000 So in Illinois, I'm pretty sure like the only weapon, or in Chicago, the only weapon you can have, it used to be this way pre the, what was the decision in DC?

00:16:22.000 Was it Heller?

00:16:23.000 Was it Heller?

00:16:24.000 I don't know.

00:16:24.000 Does someone want to look it up?

00:16:25.000 The handgun decision in 2008?

00:16:27.000 Yeah, it was Heller versus... You could only have a two foot long rubber switch for whacking somebody.

00:16:32.000 Wow.

00:16:33.000 Yeah, and all the criminals had guns.

00:16:35.000 So, you know, we know how that worked out.

00:16:37.000 It's just asymmetrical warfare, you know, law-abiding citizens, you know, you're off on your own with that rubber thing you just mentioned, and good luck bringing it to a gunfight.

00:16:45.000 Dude, I don't know if you guys saw this video out of New York, where there's a guy in a hood on the subway, and then another guy is just walking, money isn't his business, first guy just runs full speed, and then, boom, body slams him right onto the tracks, and then runs for it.

00:17:00.000 What happened to that guy that got knocked on the tracks?

00:17:02.000 I don't know about that guy.

00:17:03.000 I know that several people have been killed.

00:17:05.000 What would you do if you saw that happen in front of you?

00:17:08.000 Jump down on the tracks, grab the guy, and get him up onto the platform?

00:17:10.000 You'd try, I guess, but you want to make sure he's not touching the third rail.

00:17:15.000 And you can't touch him, you'll get locked in.

00:17:16.000 Or blown back.

00:17:18.000 Every time there's a delay like that, I mean, you know what happened.

00:17:20.000 You may not be at that stop, you may be a while away, but it's a commute.

00:17:25.000 Either someone did it themselves, it's a suicide, or one of these instances.

00:17:29.000 When I lived in New York, I used to think like, okay, I don't need to work out all the time.

00:17:32.000 I wasn't obsessed with being strong, but I was like, I need to be strong enough so that if someone falls on the track, I can jump down and get them up out of the track.

00:17:39.000 I consciously think about where my head would land if I was just pushed, if I would make it to the track, and I just try to give myself And I'm sure MTA will say, don't go down there.

00:17:49.000 It's too dangerous.

00:17:50.000 Don't put yourself at risk if someone falls on the track.

00:17:53.000 But that goes through my head.

00:17:54.000 And I'm sure MTA will say, don't go down there, it's too dangerous, don't put yourself at

00:17:57.000 risk if someone falls on the track.

00:17:59.000 But that goes through my head, I'm like, God, I hope that guy's okay.

00:18:01.000 Is it, Luke, was it Japan or Singapore where they have glass blocking?

00:18:06.000 It's Singapore.

00:18:08.000 There was in high school when they installed those and it's like basically just doors that are exactly like the train doors.

00:18:12.000 They open and then they allow you to go through the door and then to the airport.

00:18:14.000 There's a separate glass line just for that.

00:18:17.000 Japan does that too.

00:18:17.000 Japan does that as well, and then if you kill yourself in Japan, there's particular lines and particular access roads where there's bigger fines for the family members of the individual that killed themselves than other roadways that aren't as popular.

00:18:33.000 So your family gets fined in Japan if you kill yourself.

00:18:36.000 That is interesting.

00:18:37.000 They have seppuku, right, which is like a historical, a traditional thing of like an honor suicide or whatever.

00:18:42.000 And so it's interesting that there is an element of some kind of high suicide in Japan.

00:18:46.000 I wonder if that's just like a cultural thing persisted so people are more willing to do it.

00:18:51.000 I don't know.

00:18:51.000 Culture, long working hours, you know, I feel it's a litany of things.

00:18:55.000 No families, no babies.

00:18:56.000 They sell more adult diapers than baby diapers.

00:18:59.000 Well, that's coming to a country near It's not coming.

00:19:02.000 It's here.

00:19:03.000 It's already here.

00:19:05.000 We went to a theme park and this was the Halloween party at the theme park.

00:19:11.000 It was dead.

00:19:12.000 There was no one there.

00:19:13.000 Well, this is why Disney is shifting to like nostalgia porn for like 30, 40 year olds because they don't have that child family market anymore.

00:19:20.000 Nope.

00:19:21.000 I predicted this.

00:19:23.000 Oh yeah.

00:19:23.000 recently that the phenomenon of Abe Simpson saying, you know, when I was young I was with

00:19:29.000 it then they changed what it was and now what it is is scary to me and it'll happen to you

00:19:33.000 too.

00:19:34.000 That's not going to happen to us.

00:19:35.000 Yeah.

00:19:36.000 And the reason is the millennial generation is probably going to be the biggest generation 0.99

00:19:39.000 drop off.

00:19:40.000 That's it.

00:19:41.000 We're at the top of the hill.

00:19:42.000 And Gen Z may be a little bit bigger, so maybe it's Gen Z, but afterwards it's going to get lower and smaller and the population's already contracting.

00:19:49.000 That's a fact.

00:19:50.000 Outside of any pandemics, war, World War III or otherwise, the future generations are smaller and smaller.

00:19:55.000 So what's going to happen is, Disney is shifting its nostalgia marketing for one simple reason.

00:20:00.000 They're like, we got 30 million potential millennials to sell to, or 10 million kids.

00:20:05.000 Sell to the older millennials. 0.71

00:20:06.000 There's more of them.

00:20:07.000 There's more money.

00:20:07.000 If 10 million little kids get brought a dollar, what are we going to get?

00:20:11.000 If the millennials come, they'll bring their kids, we'll get even more money, target the nostalgia.

00:20:15.000 So that means they're going to keep trying to pander to the millennial, probably like a range of millennial to Gen X with mostly millennial in the middle.

00:20:23.000 That's who they're going to be targeting.

00:20:24.000 I don't think people realize when you hit these TFR, total fertility rates, like 1.2, 1.3, I mean, the drop-off is significant.

00:20:32.000 And Japan is just going to be suffering, like, you know, population decline in the millions for the next few decades.

00:20:37.000 Well, they already are.

00:20:38.000 Already are.

00:20:38.000 Same with China.

00:20:39.000 China as well.

00:20:39.000 Same with a majority of Europe.

00:20:41.000 Correct.

00:20:41.000 All of Eastern Europe, Western Europe.

00:20:43.000 So, we went to this haunted house thing.

00:20:46.000 There was booze, and there was food, and there was rides, and it was a little older crowd.

00:20:50.000 It was packed.

00:20:51.000 We go to the theme park, mostly for kids.

00:20:54.000 I mean, like, there was a zip line there that I sat on, and then I was hitting the ground, because, like, I'm just, I'm a man, you know?

00:21:01.000 But I was well under the weight limit.

00:21:03.000 Well under.

00:21:04.000 And it's like, it was like a family thing, and so we went there, and it was mostly kids, but there was, like, 30 in the whole place.

00:21:11.000 Wow.

00:21:12.000 So we're, I was just, I was like, yo, where is everybody?

00:21:16.000 People don't have kids?

00:21:17.000 Where are the kids?

00:21:18.000 I don't know.

00:21:19.000 Did it cost money to get in?

00:21:20.000 Yep.

00:21:20.000 Maybe they were broke?

00:21:21.000 Well, you get a charge card to do anything in the park and then spend money.

00:21:26.000 Was it like 30 bucks to get in or something?

00:21:28.000 No, no.

00:21:28.000 No, no, you get a card.

00:21:29.000 And if you want to do anything, you have to tap the card.

00:21:32.000 So if you wanted to play mini golf, you tap it.

00:21:33.000 If you want to go on a ride.

00:21:34.000 So it's free to get in and then it's like pay per ride?

00:21:36.000 But you can't do anything unless you get a card.

00:21:38.000 It's just the signs of a dying society, and then you have the other side of it is that the millennials, these young adults, they're just becoming infantilized because they're not progressing to the next stage of their life, you know, with a family or even, you know, other things, a business, etc., economic reasons.

00:21:54.000 Intentionally.

00:21:55.000 I mean, look, it's great.

00:21:56.000 You have a smaller population to control.

00:21:58.000 It's a lot easier than a population growing that has to worry about its posterity.

00:22:02.000 I mean, you got these leaders in Europe like Merkel, you know, she's not there anymore, but none of them had children.

00:22:08.000 So what do they care?

00:22:09.000 What do they care about the future of their nation state, whether it's Germany or France, whatever it is.

00:22:14.000 Kamala doesn't have any children as well.

00:22:16.000 Does Justin Trudeau have any kids?

00:22:20.000 I don't know.

00:22:21.000 Probably cousins in Cuba.

00:22:22.000 So I wonder if it's these devices.

00:22:23.000 This is what Dr. Phil was saying.

00:22:25.000 Oh yeah, he has three kids, apparently.

00:22:26.000 Dr. Phil was like, it's the first generation of people raised on these devices.

00:22:30.000 Since 2007, it's this.

00:22:32.000 And then you've got the fentanyl that the Chinese are putting into the Mexican cartels that are being shipped up to destroy our culture that way. 0.98

00:22:37.000 I don't know if that's the intention, but that's what's happening.

00:22:39.000 It's like the opium wars.

00:22:41.000 Did you guys see the viral video where it's like this TikTok, young teenage girl, Gen Z girl, being like, my mom won't give up her CDs.

00:22:49.000 And she's filming and she's like, this is my family's CD collection.

00:22:54.000 And my mom won't get rid of them. 0.86

00:22:56.000 And then her mom is standing there and she goes, I am not getting rid of them.

00:22:59.000 I got rid of my albums, then they came back.

00:23:02.000 I want my CDs.

00:23:03.000 And she goes, mom, I can play any one of these songs faster on my phone.

00:23:06.000 And she goes, no, it's because I don't remember these bands.

00:23:10.000 She's like, I like Oingo Boingo. 0.69

00:23:12.000 I wouldn't even remember that they were around unless I looked at the CD.

00:23:15.000 But what's fascinating in that interaction is the young kid but raised on the phone is like but i can just play go

00:23:23.000 and it's like you are too young i suppose to understand that you know you

00:23:27.000 i'm sorry youth isn't the isn't the river the reason for it

00:23:30.000 you are lacking in context and information

00:23:34.000 there were people who gave up their vinyl collections thinking like vinyls

00:23:37.000 going out the window Vinyl never died.

00:23:40.000 Now all of a sudden they're worth tremendous amounts of money.

00:23:43.000 You go to these resale shops, antique shops, and it's like the prices are going up and up and up.

00:23:48.000 So yeah, this woman's like, I'm not giving up these CDs.

00:23:50.000 There's going to be a nostalgia factor.

00:23:51.000 People are going to want to pop those CDs in.

00:23:54.000 But she makes another really good point.

00:23:55.000 Yo, when I put on music on Pandora and Spotify, I don't even know half the bands that are playing.

00:24:00.000 I don't grab my phone and then type in music.

00:24:02.000 Like we don't know phone numbers anymore.

00:24:04.000 Right, we don't know phone numbers anymore.

00:24:05.000 But the main point is, the commentary I saw on this is, you will own nothing and you will be happy.

00:24:10.000 This little kid is like, just rent the idea of music from the machine mom, what's the problem?

00:24:15.000 And the mom's like, I want my music that I own.

00:24:19.000 Tangible.

00:24:20.000 I like that you phrased it that it was really the problem was the ignorance of the kid.

00:24:24.000 It was the ignorance of the human that didn't realize the benefit of vinyl.

00:24:29.000 Because it's not Gen Z that's the problem, it's the ignorance. 0.99

00:24:31.000 And a lot of times kids are ignorant just because they're kids and they don't have the world experience yet. 0.85

00:24:36.000 Some kids actually aren't ignorant because they have fantastic parents. 1.00

00:24:39.000 And some old people are extremely ignorant! 0.99

00:24:42.000 So it's not you, that's the issue. 0.97

00:24:43.000 But has any generation in human history gone through so much technological, societal, cultural change in such a short period of time?

00:24:51.000 I mean, these are things that typically have happened over centuries, millennia.

00:24:55.000 I mean, if you look at a regular Joe Schmoe from 1820, is he that much different from 1720, 1620, 1520?

00:25:02.000 I mean, yeah, there's things on the margins, but the change from, say, post-World War II to today, is on a scale that we've never seen before, and I feel like it's almost evolutionary at this point, and I think it's leading to a lot of the psychological issues we're seeing, a lot of the mental health crisis.

00:25:19.000 I mean, people can't cope with this change.

00:25:21.000 They're just not, it's not ingrained in them.

00:25:23.000 Yeah, you would think that with access to the world's information, you'd be able to solve every problem, and that every problem would be solved as a result, but just because we can does, obviously, the test is shown, doesn't mean that we will.

00:25:34.000 Correct.

00:25:35.000 Yeah, I think this has been the most rapid advancement in the human consciousness ever in the history of And it's all novel, we don't know, like we make fun of the

00:25:43.000 Millennials, the Zoomers, whatever they are, but there's really nothing to look back 1.00

00:25:47.000 on.

00:25:47.000 There's no historical point of reference.

00:25:49.000 I hope what really happened is that like aliens showed up at Roswell and then it was an accident

00:25:54.000 and they're like, ah crap, meet with the government and they're like, here's what we're going

00:25:57.000 to do, we're going to give you rapid communications technology to bring your people up to speed

00:26:01.000 and they're like, all right.

00:26:02.000 And now the aliens are sitting back laughing as if they gave chickens like ultra weapons 0.99

00:26:05.000 and they're just watching us be really dumb with it. 0.96

00:26:07.000 They're like, they're going to wipe themselves out with this data impropriety, you know, 0.88

00:26:11.000 what they're doing.

00:26:12.000 People don't understand the...

00:26:15.000 The algorithmic manipulation.

00:26:17.000 I don't know if it was Elon Musk that said this.

00:26:19.000 I think it was.

00:26:20.000 He said the current thing may actually be chosen by an algorithm.

00:26:23.000 So there are people who are on the trends on Twitter being like, I like mustard ice cream!

00:26:29.000 And it's like a robot just decided to promote that one day and now you're marching in lockstep with it.

00:26:34.000 The algorithm is the new holy spirit of our world.

00:26:37.000 It's just touching things in different ways.

00:26:40.000 What you were saying before about, you know, how they're, you know, people aren't processing, you know, all these new innovations, etc.

00:26:46.000 I mean, it's the same way of looking at it as, you know, it's like you get a new toy and it's just like, you know, a new gadget, a new car, and you're just obsessed with it.

00:26:57.000 You're just diving into it headfirst.

00:26:59.000 And that just becomes part of you.

00:27:00.000 That's your whole existence now.

00:27:02.000 And I feel like we're seeing that on a generational scale.

00:27:04.000 It's just this obsession, this tech focus.

00:27:06.000 But everything that we've designed, whether it's all this access to knowledge, we're not becoming smarter, we're not solving problems, all this access to social networks, communication, we're becoming more and more disconnected, more atomized.

00:27:17.000 It's all having this counter effect.

00:27:19.000 I think one of the issues that we're facing clearly is that there's just too many people and we're not guiding reproduction wisely.

00:27:27.000 So maybe the first thing we need to do is maybe like a great reset down to like 500 million people.

00:27:32.000 I don't know if that's the right marketing term.

00:27:34.000 Then we'll guide population reproduction.

00:27:38.000 What did the Guidestones say, Luke?

00:27:40.000 I tried to do that.

00:27:41.000 I could do it without...

00:27:42.000 No, no, the Guidestones said guide reproduction wisely or something.

00:27:47.000 So that's the idea.

00:27:50.000 The idea...

00:27:51.000 They know better.

00:27:52.000 Everyone knows better except us.

00:27:53.000 Well, the algorithm is producing reproduction digitally.

00:27:55.000 I like that you phrased that, that it's like the Holy Spirit.

00:27:57.000 The algorithm is our current...

00:27:58.000 Is that what you said?

00:28:00.000 Because imagine if someone owned God, and they were able to control it, and they knew what it was doing, but no one else knew what it was doing.

00:28:07.000 And make everyone think and see one particular thing when they want them to see it.

00:28:11.000 You guys don't trust us.

00:28:12.000 And ban particular ideas against that particular thing that they want you to believe.

00:28:16.000 Social engineering.

00:28:17.000 That's God-like power.

00:28:18.000 You know it'd be crazy.

00:28:19.000 You know how they've been trying to do this augmented reality thing for a long time?

00:28:22.000 Right.

00:28:22.000 Like Google Glass was like a rudimentary version where you'd look up to the right and there's a little screen there.

00:28:27.000 Right.

00:28:27.000 Now they've got the MetaPro Quest or whatever.

00:28:30.000 Which is bombing.

00:28:31.000 And like the idea is they're like goggles and you'll see the real world but it'll augment it.

00:28:38.000 Imagine in the future, they tell everybody, you know, you can see through these glasses, you'll see everything like normal, and then you'll also see the augmented reality stuff.

00:28:47.000 But the augmented reality stuff is very easily discernible from real life, right?

00:28:51.000 The graphics aren't as good.

00:28:52.000 Until it's not.

00:28:53.000 And then one day, everybody sees the same thing across the sky, an explosion.

00:28:59.000 And they don't realize it's actually a trick in the augmented reality.

00:29:02.000 You see what I'm saying? 0.97

00:29:03.000 Or they don't want to take it off because they take the glasses off and everyone's fat, ugly, and miserable. 0.98

00:29:07.000 So they put it back on and everyone looks beautiful. 0.81

00:29:09.000 Well, what I'm saying is fake events happen where everyone thinks, with my AR goggles, I choose what AR I see.

00:29:17.000 So I'll load up my menu and I'll go like this, like this, okay, uh, Facebook, and then, you know, Twitter, and then tweet, da-da-da-da-da, send.

00:29:24.000 And then all of a sudden, kaboom!

00:29:25.000 Explosion in the sky.

00:29:27.000 And they think It's reality.

00:29:29.000 But it's actually augmented reality.

00:29:31.000 But everyone sees the same thing, reports seeing it, and then everyone assumes it really happened when it didn't.

00:29:37.000 Yeah, I've been noticing a trend on Twitter the last couple weeks where at the top you get that for you big thing and it says video about fill in the blank was doctored, experts say.

00:29:46.000 This video, recent video about White House correspondent was doctored.

00:29:49.000 Video was doctored.

00:29:50.000 Video was changed.

00:29:52.000 So like, this is like in the last two weeks, I've noticed this probably like four times or five, maybe four times, that they're, I mean, the age of deepfake is upon us.

00:29:59.000 Whether or not that's going to be AR or just actual video that we watch on TV, we don't even know.

00:30:03.000 Or they'll accuse real things of being deepfakes.

00:30:06.000 So there was a story in the press that Ron DeSantis met with Clarence Thomas the day before the Dobbs decision came down, ending Roe v. Wade.

00:30:14.000 The real story was that a year and a day before, the media runs this story without fact-checking it.

00:30:20.000 And now the guy who wrote a secondary, it was a secondary source reporting, so emails get released by a non-profit.

00:30:26.000 Raw Story writes a story.

00:30:28.000 Independent copies Raw Story.

00:30:29.000 Independent then realize, oops, we got it wrong.

00:30:31.000 Guy says, I'm so embarrassed to take it down.

00:30:33.000 But think about this.

00:30:35.000 The defamation of lying about somebody in an election is the cost of doing business for these people.

00:30:41.000 If you can win a governorship for four years, is it not worth the $50 million defamation lawsuit?

00:30:49.000 Man, these races cost more than that!

00:30:50.000 We're getting to the point where Fetterman's campaign's been just making things up.

00:30:55.000 Imagine how dark it's going to get.

00:30:58.000 When I was on Rogan's show, this was like a year ago, he asked me how I felt about deepfakes, and I said, I'm not, I don't think it's gonna get that crazy.

00:31:05.000 I think it won't be, nah, nah, and now I'm like, I was way wrong.

00:31:10.000 They're going to make a deepfake, and it's gonna be a grainy video of Ron DeSantis with supporters to make it look like it's a cell phone so it's easily faked, and he's gonna say something not ridiculous, just kind of bad.

00:31:22.000 The real effective stuff is not going to be, Ron DeSantis coming out and screaming the n-word, it's gonna be him saying something like, look, when it comes to COVID, there's only so much you can do.

00:31:33.000 So yeah, are people gonna die?

00:31:35.000 A lot of people are gonna die.

00:31:36.000 I can't be bothered with it all the time.

00:31:38.000 Something like that, where it's like, believable.

00:31:40.000 And there's going to be a Wild West period as this tech rapidly develops that there's no legal precedent for the defamation, like you're saying.

00:31:47.000 So how are they going to treat these deepfakes? 1.00

00:31:49.000 What are the repercussions going to be?

00:31:50.000 And it's going to be an insane period of time before the law catches up, if the law and the regulatory system ever catches up.

00:31:56.000 It may never, yeah.

00:31:56.000 You can't.

00:31:57.000 These things are going to appear in court.

00:31:59.000 And then, not only that.

00:32:02.000 A real video will appear in court.

00:32:04.000 And someone will be like, I filmed this guy punching a dog.

00:32:06.000 And he'll say, deepfake.

00:32:07.000 I won't believe it.

00:32:08.000 And then, dude, it's this simple.

00:32:10.000 A grand deepfake defense.

00:32:11.000 Call a lawyer.

00:32:12.000 You get your lawyer.

00:32:13.000 Your lawyer finds an expert.

00:32:15.000 And they say, your lawyer calls 10 experts.

00:32:18.000 Here's the video.

00:32:18.000 Is it a deepfake?

00:32:19.000 Nope, that's real.

00:32:20.000 Okay.

00:32:20.000 Expert number two.

00:32:21.000 Is it deepfake?

00:32:21.000 No, it's real.

00:32:22.000 Number three?

00:32:22.000 No.

00:32:23.000 Four?

00:32:23.000 Five?

00:32:24.000 Finally, expert number ten?

00:32:25.000 It looks like a deepfake to me.

00:32:27.000 Excellent.

00:32:27.000 You're hired.

00:32:28.000 Would you like to appear at this trial?

00:32:30.000 Then he shows up and says to the jury, I am a video expert.

00:32:32.000 I've been working for 20 years.

00:32:34.000 I watched the video.

00:32:35.000 It does not seem genuine.

00:32:36.000 Now this dude who actually committed a crime could maybe even get off just because the technology exists.

00:32:41.000 So when we have experts in court, are we, should we have to say how many experts were interviewed and then how many experts were chosen?

00:32:48.000 No.

00:32:48.000 Of the 12 experts, the one that we chose says this, the other 9 or 11 said this.

00:32:53.000 That's not how it works.

00:32:54.000 I think we need more transparency in our legal system, especially with software code and apparently with experts, end quote, if we're going to be putting people on the stand.

00:33:02.000 But Ian, what if, what if, okay, let's try, how about another scenario?

00:33:06.000 A crazy extremist makes a deepfake of you punching a dog. 0.86

00:33:11.000 You get arrested. 0.83

00:33:13.000 You go to an expert and he goes, you're Ian Crossland?

00:33:17.000 From Tim Kitts?

00:33:18.000 I don't want to be involved.

00:33:19.000 It's real.

00:33:20.000 It's real.

00:33:20.000 And they go through nine experts who all say the same thing like, dude, I don't want to be targeted.

00:33:24.000 It's a real video.

00:33:25.000 And then finally they get one guy who goes, I don't care what show you're on, Ian.

00:33:29.000 I watched the video.

00:33:30.000 I did the analysis.

00:33:31.000 It's fake.

00:33:32.000 And then you go to trial and they say, but let's pull up the nine other experts, and they all go, oh, it's a real video, please, please don't burn my house down, it's a real video.

00:33:40.000 What's sad about all this is we could talk about, you know, the theoretical implications of these deepfake technology, but, you know, you have this media class that will publish defamatory hit pieces without even using deepfakes.

00:33:50.000 They'll just claim you said something, you believe something, you are something, white supremacist, racist, Nazi, whatever, and they don't need a deepfake.

00:33:56.000 They'll just print it, put in the headline, and that's what you are, you're branded, and there's no recourse, which goes back to You know, the state of our defamation laws, and it's only going to get worse with the deepfake.

00:34:05.000 It's only going to get worse, but it's pretty bad right now, and we have no solution.

00:34:08.000 Cultural reinforcement, man.

00:34:10.000 I think about, like, I feel like the only solution is to get people to come together to believe in the things I believe in, in order to survive this crazy ride.

00:34:17.000 There's no national consensus ever coming back anytime soon.

00:34:21.000 And, you know, I don't know.

00:34:23.000 How do you do it without manipulating people?

00:34:25.000 Let's jump to this next story.

00:34:26.000 Let's get to Elon Musk here.

00:34:27.000 So from TimCast.com, Twitter accounts will not be reinstated until new content moderation council convenes, says Elon Musk.

00:34:35.000 He says Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints.

00:34:41.000 No major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes.

00:34:46.000 Let me just break this down for all you guys.

00:34:48.000 First, it is a victory, a tremendous victory that Elon Musk has purchased Twitter.

00:34:53.000 I'm glad to see that something good is happening.

00:34:56.000 But Elon, like us, is making a mistake.

00:35:01.000 Earlier on in the show, in a previous segment for those that are just tuning in, we mentioned that the person who attacked Paul Pelosi at the Pelosi House was a leftist. 0.69

00:35:11.000 We also went on to mention that he does have a bunch of weird conspiracies, is a nudist, and is probably just a crazy person.

00:35:16.000 Meanwhile, leftists are trying to claim he's a MAGA guy because he denied the election and posted Q stuff.

00:35:21.000 At any moment, in every moment, the left will outright just be like, it's MAGA.

00:35:27.000 Marjorie Taylor Greene said, we won't forget the companies that stopped donating because of 2020.

00:35:33.000 And a prominent Twitter leftist said, this is a direct threat and it's why Pelosi got attacked, blah, blah, blah.

00:35:40.000 They go to the extreme end.

00:35:42.000 Elon Musk is telling us right now, he's going to invite them.

00:35:47.000 To sit down and discuss how to handle censorship.

00:35:50.000 You see, before Elon bought Twitter, he said, the appropriate solution should be where there's a compromise and everyone's a little unhappy.

00:35:57.000 But he doesn't realize.

00:35:59.000 The conservatives, the independents, the libertarians, post-liberals have already compromised, saying outright, we accept the left will say naughty words.

00:36:06.000 We just want to be able to express our opinions.

00:36:09.000 The left then says, we want you banned and we can do whatever we want.

00:36:14.000 There's no compromise there because you've got one side that already compromised and the left saying to everything or nothing.

00:36:21.000 If Elon Musk is going to form a moderation council and invite the woke left in to go, but my feelings are hurt when he said I was ugly, then he's going to go, Alright, well let's give the left a little bit of what they want.

00:36:33.000 The only problem?

00:36:34.000 That is literally what Vijaya Gadde and Jack Dorsey did.

00:36:38.000 Jack Dorsey and Vijaya were basically running Twitter like, okay, conservatives don't care that leftists are on the platform.

00:36:44.000 They won't leave.

00:36:45.000 So we don't have to do anything for them.

00:36:46.000 They're content.

00:36:47.000 But the left will leave unless we ban some conservatives.

00:36:50.000 Here's the compromise.

00:36:52.000 We don't ban all of the conservatives.

00:36:53.000 Only a few to make the left think we're doing something, and then the right won't leave because we're not banning everybody.

00:37:00.000 That's the problem.

00:37:01.000 This will not work.

00:37:02.000 It's a bad move, and Elon needs to go in now, independently of his own volition, and release the political prisoners, and he needs to accept he is responsible for this, and there's no diverse viewpoint that's going to solve the problem.

00:37:15.000 Amen.

00:37:15.000 And I hope this is just fluff to cover, you know, his tracks from a PR perspective for any next moves.

00:37:20.000 But he has to come out guns blazing, you know, open up the prison cells, release everybody, and just overwhelm the left with all the reforms and changes he's going to make.

00:37:30.000 Because if he starts doing it piecemeal, they're going to just attack it piecemeal, and they're going to divide and conquer.

00:37:34.000 And it's going to be this messy, drawn-out situation with this ridiculous, fluffy-sounding council, which honestly sounds no different than things they've done in the past.

00:37:43.000 It's exactly what they already were doing.

00:37:45.000 Yeah, if you're going to build a council, don't build a council of people to decide who gets banned and who gets unbanned.

00:37:49.000 Get a council of people to decide how to build a system so that the bannings and unbannings can happen judiciously. 0.99

00:37:55.000 Right.

00:37:55.000 Nothing good comes out of committee.

00:37:57.000 Tell us about Mines.

00:37:58.000 The Mines jury system is legitimate.

00:37:59.000 I think this is the way to go.

00:38:01.000 So what happens is if you're on Mines and your stuff gets flagged, someone in the administrative team will be like, okay, that They got flagged, they got banned.

00:38:07.000 And then if you don't agree, you appeal it.

00:38:09.000 It goes to people that have opted in on Mines to the jury system, like up to 12 or more random people.

00:38:14.000 Get the content.

00:38:14.000 It says, does this violate the terms of service?

00:38:17.000 Then they have an opportunity to swipe right or swipe left, if they're on their phone or whatever, or say yes or no, if it violates it or if it doesn't.

00:38:23.000 So if enough people say, yeah, it violates it, you're still banned.

00:38:26.000 You can appeal it maybe twice.

00:38:28.000 You can three times.

00:38:30.000 If you say, no, it doesn't violate it, you get a majority of people, then it's unbanned.

00:38:33.000 And then if it gets flagged again, it goes back through the process.

00:38:36.000 Now, if a jury member is saying it doesn't violate the terms, but it does, and they keep repeatedly doing that on things that keep coming up and they keep getting it wrong, they eventually lose their ability to be on the jury.

00:38:48.000 That shouldn't happen.

00:38:49.000 I disagree, because I think people will abuse it.

00:38:51.000 What they'll do is they'll vote how they want it.

00:38:53.000 I want it to be on the site.

00:38:54.000 But that's not what I'm asking.

00:38:55.000 I'm asking if it violates the terms.

00:38:56.000 Jury nullification is exactly, I think this shouldn't be illegal and I won't convict someone for it.

00:39:02.000 Well, something needs to exist.

00:39:03.000 And hold on.

00:39:04.000 The reason why I think that's a bad move, a bad element of it, is that let's say the platform becomes dominated by really awful people who want to see free speech banned.

00:39:14.000 Wikipedia.

00:39:14.000 Exactly.

00:39:14.000 And a handful of people are saying, this didn't break the rules.

00:39:18.000 Why are you saying it did?

00:39:19.000 And then all of a sudden, Mines comes out and says, look, the majority has repeatedly said you're wrong, so we're removing you.

00:39:26.000 Well, then what would happen?

00:39:27.000 I think what would happen is an admin at Mines would review if, like, a bunch of people are saying it's not violating, it's not but it is, and then you're like, okay, who are all these accounts that keep saying it's not violating?

00:39:36.000 Why do they keep saying it's not when it is?

00:39:38.000 You have to review them both.

00:39:39.000 Why are they saying it's violating when it doesn't?

00:39:41.000 It sounds good on paper, but this is how Wikipedia devolved, and you have this organized, ideologically driven minority, maybe, on that platform that decides the edits, that approves the edits, that controls the entire editing hierarchy.

00:39:54.000 It will be taken over Fabian style.

00:39:56.000 But the argument is because it's a random selection of jurors every time, there's no cabal.

00:40:02.000 Right, but you can't punish a juror for giving their honest thoughts.

00:40:04.000 You can down rank their ability if they're not accurate.

00:40:08.000 No, absolutely not.

00:40:09.000 I think so.

00:40:10.000 It's a private company, make it a dictatorship.

00:40:12.000 Imagine if we said in public, in a legitimate criminal trial, you're like, this guy is not guilty.

00:40:18.000 And they're like, well, Everyone else said he was.

00:40:21.000 You must be wrong.

00:40:22.000 We're not going to let you be on a jury trial anymore.

00:40:24.000 That is insane.

00:40:25.000 You have a civic duty and a right!

00:40:27.000 If it's illegal, it's off the site.

00:40:30.000 I mean, if it's an illegal thing and someone's saying it's legal, then I don't think they should be a juror.

00:40:35.000 I understand that, but that means you have to review every single person, whether they said it was good or bad.

00:40:39.000 Or you can algorithmically calculate people that are inaccurate, and then just over time downrank the viability.

00:40:45.000 It's the Holy Spirit again, it's the algorithm.

00:40:47.000 But the algorithm would be public.

00:40:48.000 It would be like a free software algorithm that you can go on GitHub and look at.

00:40:52.000 So the facts matter here when it comes to this particular case, and there's a lot of other things happening behind the scenes.

00:40:58.000 There's a lot of things happening with a coordinated media push right now to try to get advertisers off of Twitter.

00:41:04.000 But Elon Musk just 20 minutes ago tweeted that there have been no changes to the Twitter content moderation policies.

00:41:11.000 He also tweeted today that, quote, comedy is now legal on Twitter.

00:41:15.000 Michaela Peterson responded to him and asked, hey, can you get my father back on the platform?

00:41:19.000 And he said specifically, quote, anyone suspended for minor and dubious reasons will be freed from Twitter jail.

00:41:26.000 That's a direct comment from Elon Musk on his official Twitter account.

00:41:29.000 Now, let's factor this in.

00:41:31.000 A lot of people have been banned on Twitter.

00:41:33.000 A crap ton of them.

00:41:34.000 Would you want to be the one solely responsible, looking at that list, saying, OK, OK, OK, no, this guy did something bad here, going through all the history?

00:41:43.000 I wouldn't want that responsibility.

00:41:44.000 I wouldn't want that job.

00:41:45.000 This is why he's announcing some kind of council.

00:41:47.000 How will he handle it?

00:41:49.000 It's going to be interesting.

00:41:50.000 I just hope he's not being swayed by the Washington Post that, by the way, again, I talked about this yesterday.

00:41:56.000 Bill Gates literally is putting money into organizations to launch attacks on Twitter right now.

00:42:02.000 He has been doing this and has been planning this for months.

00:42:05.000 The Washington Post came out today and is telling people how to turn off their advertisements on their settings on Twitter so they could sabotage Twitter and of course the money that they get from advertisers.

00:42:16.000 GM just announced that they're temporary suspending ads on Twitter.

00:42:20.000 What will happen moving forwards?

00:42:21.000 Well, I'm still optimistic.

00:42:24.000 His tweets are saying he's going to make sure that he's going to undelete the censored people on social media, including people like Jordan Peterson.

00:42:33.000 I'm hopeful.

00:42:34.000 I think he's going to do it.

00:42:35.000 But I think it's going to take time.

00:42:36.000 He needs to hold the line.

00:42:37.000 He needs to realize it's going to be tough in the beginning, obviously, with the advertisers, the pressure campaigns, etc.

00:42:43.000 But they have nowhere else to go from an advertising perspective.

00:42:45.000 They're going to come back.

00:42:47.000 This was never going to be a financially lucrative deal, at least not for a long – for the

00:42:51.000 long run.

00:42:52.000 Twitter was never making money.

00:42:53.000 So the advertising is just sort of putting off some of the financial losses that the

00:42:56.000 company is suffering.

00:42:58.000 But at the end of the day, he needs to come out.

00:43:00.000 He needs to be bold.

00:43:01.000 He needs to unban these people immediately and if he dilly-dallies, if he dithers, they're

00:43:05.000 going to smell blood.

00:43:06.000 They're going to jump on it and they're going to come after him.

00:43:08.000 His reputation is on the line because he – this was a massive ordeal that he undertook and

00:43:13.000 I think I agree with everyone here.

00:43:14.000 It's going to be better no matter what on the margins.

00:43:17.000 But if he backs off and he doesn't fulfill it, I mean he's going to look like a total 1.00

00:43:21.000 I mean, he's a total fool. 0.99

00:43:21.000 He owns the company. 0.99

00:43:22.000 It's private.

00:43:23.000 He has full dictatorial powers, effectively, to set these standards. 1.00

00:43:27.000 He could, you know, devolve some power to some stupid council. 0.99

00:43:30.000 But at the end of the day, he should come out, set the standards, set the maxim from everything to follow. 0.99

00:43:36.000 And if they follow it, good.

00:43:37.000 And if they don't follow it, well, he has other problems.

00:43:38.000 Or at least, I hope you're wrong, but I kind of agree with you that he should at least do the basic ones.

00:43:44.000 Jordan Peterson, Project Veritas, Babylon B. I mean, just those basics alone are clear, obvious.

00:43:52.000 You don't need a committee and a commission to figure out that that was absolutely wrong for those people to be censored.

00:43:56.000 Right.

00:43:57.000 And the people down the hierarchy, you know, these minor accounts, these no-name people that were banned for a variety of reasons, that's going to be more complex.

00:44:03.000 It's probably going to take a lot of time and logistics.

00:44:05.000 Fine.

00:44:06.000 We all understand that.

00:44:07.000 But it takes all five minutes, like you said, to look at Jordan Peterson and say, OK, bring him back on.

00:44:11.000 Elon crossed the Rubicon.

00:44:14.000 He declared war on the cathedral.

00:44:16.000 They've run in panic and he's taken Rome.

00:44:20.000 It is now his empire.

00:44:22.000 He needs to just accept what he's done and make the changes he wants to make.

00:44:28.000 I don't understand why he would not immediately reinstate the Babylon Bee.

00:44:32.000 Everyone knows he did this because of the Babylon Bee.

00:44:36.000 The Babylon Bee did literally nothing wrong.

00:44:38.000 He said comedy is allowed once again.

00:44:40.000 The first thing he could have done, and if I was Elon, I'd take my phone, I'd press record, I'd walk in the front doors of Twitter, I'd look at the camera and go, hey guys, hey, who works here?

00:44:50.000 Unban the Babylon Bee.

00:44:51.000 I'm filming.

00:44:52.000 Get it done now.

00:44:52.000 I'm counting.

00:44:53.000 I'm glad you made the Caesarian reference because Caesar came into Rome and was forgiving and, you know, gave everyone a second chance.

00:44:59.000 And then Brutus, you know, stabbed him in the back and the rest of the Senate.

00:45:02.000 So he cannot go into Rome and take this Caesarian approach that he's going to, you know, love his enemies and give everyone a second chance, all the optimates and the senators and the rest of the Twitterati elite.

00:45:12.000 He needs to come in with an iron fist.

00:45:15.000 Crack some skulls and just make it clear that this is the new law of the land and we're not backing down, and they will back off.

00:45:21.000 But at the same time, if he does something, he's going to have thousands of people come to him.

00:45:25.000 What about me?

00:45:26.000 Can you do me?

00:45:27.000 And that's a lot of pressure from a lot of powerful people that were censored incorrectly within the last few years.

00:45:33.000 And he's only one guy.

00:45:33.000 He needs 15 minutes in between, you know what I mean?

00:45:35.000 I think you come into Rome, you immediately lay out your new constitution and then give the power to the people to govern themselves.

00:45:42.000 We don't even need to go to Rome.

00:45:43.000 I agree.

00:45:43.000 Protocol with jury system, constitutional values.

00:45:49.000 Unban anyone that didn't violate U.S. 0.96

00:45:50.000 law wherever the headquarters, San Francisco is the headquarters.

00:45:53.000 If it doesn't violate California state law, then unban right from the beginning.

00:45:57.000 Then you decide if you need to ban them for terms of service.

00:46:00.000 Also, all the terms of service are going to change now.

00:46:03.000 Well, yeah, the misgendering policy's gotta go.

00:46:05.000 Not every word, but it's up to Elon.

00:46:06.000 He can be as creative as he wants with the terms of service.

00:46:08.000 It's this simple.

00:46:09.000 Check out the Mines terms, Elon.

00:46:10.000 Make it a protocol, give yourself access to the real estate, make the real estate sellable, the advertising real estate, as a commodity or asset on a public protocol, and then you effectively give yourself, you make it worth substantially more money, you remove moderation requirements from you and say, if someone, look, here's the way I describe it.

00:46:31.000 If Coca-Cola buys a billboard in Times Square and then I go stand in front of it holding up a sign with a picture of something really awful, is Coca-Cola going to call up their ad buyer and be like, or their ad seller and be like, well why is there a man standing in front of my sign saying naughty words?

00:46:47.000 They're going to be like, because he's standing on a public street.

00:46:49.000 Next question, why are you wasting my time?

00:46:52.000 We should not be looking at Twitter in this way.

00:46:55.000 If you want to advertise where the conversation is happening, you recognize people say things you don't like.

00:47:01.000 Period.

00:47:02.000 They make it a protocol, they make it interoperable with other platforms, they remove their ability to moderate anything and say law enforcement can handle it.

00:47:09.000 And also with the advertising, I mean, this was a dying platform.

00:47:13.000 This is mostly used by journalists, certain niches of society.

00:47:17.000 It's not this mass public platform like an Instagram or even a snap or even a TikTok.

00:47:23.000 It is a platform for, you know, different degrees of elites, essentially talking to

00:47:27.000 other elites and then a few people liking it.

00:47:29.000 The advertisers will come when he creates when he turns it back into a platform that

00:47:33.000 people want to be on.

00:47:34.000 People want to engage in have engaging people.

00:47:36.000 And it's not this controlled, manipulated, bought infested platform, which it is now,

00:47:41.000 which is and he bought it extremely overvalued.

00:47:43.000 So he turns it back to what it should be.

00:47:46.000 The advertisers will return and any political disagreements they have in the interim will

00:47:50.000 be, you know, things of the past.

00:47:51.000 I actually posted an old video of Elon Musk talking about Twitter.

00:47:55.000 I posted this on my shorts on my YouTube channel, which people could watch.

00:47:59.000 I definitely recommend you watch that because Elon Musk talked about his plans for Twitter.

00:48:03.000 He talked about how it's absolutely crazy that it took Twitter one year to work on something like an edit button.

00:48:09.000 He then went on and was like, you know, we should make this like WeChat.

00:48:12.000 And WeChat is something that's not really popular here in the United States, but in places like China, everyone depends on WeChat for virtually almost every aspect of their life and existence.

00:48:23.000 You do everything on WeChat, and this is the type of vision that he has.

00:48:29.000 That he might transform and change Twitter to X. And again, Twitter made some horrible, absolutely idiotic decisions when it came to their business. 0.99

00:48:38.000 They ruined Periscope. 1.00

00:48:39.000 They ruined Vine.

00:48:40.000 They had the TikTok before TikTok even existed.

00:48:43.000 TikTok right now is dominating all the social media platforms with so many users, with so much engagement, with so much just short-term gratification for a lot of individuals, whether it's good or bad, that's debatable.

00:48:55.000 But YouTube, And, excuse me, Twitter had that livestream ability, had that TikTok ability, and they just threw it in the trash.

00:49:02.000 They deprecated everything.

00:49:03.000 It's been a history of deprecating features, refusing to release features.

00:49:06.000 It's interesting that in the last year, with Twitter Blue, with the edit button, with a whole litany of other features, it's all come out of, you know, the woodworks.

00:49:13.000 Because up until then, it was just a series of, they had fleets for a while.

00:49:16.000 I remember fleets.

00:49:17.000 They got rid of fleets.

00:49:19.000 That was a little rough.

00:49:19.000 They literally had Vine.

00:49:24.000 And arguably, if you make a comparison to Facebook, if Facebook had not acquired Instagram, Facebook would be done by now.

00:49:32.000 I mean, Facebook, its platform is dying.

00:49:35.000 It's Instagram that keeps it afloat.

00:49:36.000 Had Twitter successfully kept Vine, they would be in a totally different position today.

00:49:40.000 I want to pull up this story from TimCast.com.

00:49:43.000 Advertisers threaten boycott if Trump reinstated to Twitter.

00:49:46.000 Clients from ad agency that spend $60 billion per year in media spending will pause all ad purchases if Trump's account returns.

00:49:53.000 Why?

00:49:55.000 Why are advertisers saying we don't want Trump on the platform?

00:49:59.000 What do these things have to do with each other other than these are ESG companies?

00:50:03.000 It's politically motivated.

00:50:05.000 Elon Musk needs to recognize this.

00:50:08.000 But it seems like he's bowing to it.

00:50:11.000 Well, these are what you call impact investors, and they're willing to throw money at political causes.

00:50:15.000 They want to see someone other than Donald Trump be elected.

00:50:18.000 The nice thing about owning this company and making it private is that he doesn't, when you have a public company, yeah, you have not only do you have shareholders, then you even a public company, a public private company that you have that you co-own with someone else.

00:50:29.000 Like in the case of mines, Bill and John ran it together.

00:50:32.000 They each own half.

00:50:34.000 It was hard to get stuff done because if Bill wanted to do something, it had to go through John.

00:50:37.000 And if John didn't want to do it, it didn't happen.

00:50:39.000 So I imagine at Twitter, there's like six guys all with veto power.

00:50:42.000 Impossible.

00:50:43.000 Like you said, it took a year to get an edit button through.

00:50:45.000 Now you got one owner.

00:50:47.000 He says, yes, it gets done.

00:50:49.000 It's the power of the dictator.

00:50:50.000 There's also a global corporate collusion with bankers happening under the name of the ESG, and I think this has a lot to do with it, because if they can have companies literally jumping whenever the bankers want them to jump, singing whenever the bankers want them to sing, doing whatever the bankers want them to do under this social credit score, this corporate social credit score, this is another element of it that we have to understand here.

00:51:11.000 This is a coordinated effort by a lot of very powerful people, Bill Gates being one of them, Putting all of his money into institutions saying, hey, hurt Twitter now.

00:51:20.000 Twitter is a threat against me, my empire, my money.

00:51:24.000 Right now, people are going to be able to talk and find out all the lies that I told them.

00:51:27.000 People are going to find out all the horrible things I did to them.

00:51:30.000 Red alert! 0.94

00:51:31.000 Right now, we need to shut Twitter down, get all the advertisers.

00:51:34.000 And again, Elon Musk has actually addressed this.

00:51:36.000 He talked about doing a subscriber-based model.

00:51:39.000 He talked about changing the financial aspects of Twitter.

00:51:42.000 So he sees this attack coming as well, but we got to understand here, there's very powerful people right now that are going to be looking at Twitter as a direct threat against their hegemony on the narrative, on the conversation, on the truth.

00:51:55.000 That's the Brutus metaphor of what you were saying earlier.

00:51:57.000 The longer Elon holds this hot potato, the more of a target he becomes. He needs to release it.

00:52:01.000 Come out forceful, make these radical changes and overwhelm them, which is what the left does

00:52:05.000 when they're in power. You can make a comparison when Trump was in his office for the first four

00:52:09.000 years. He dithered, he dallyed, he could have done a lot more things until he waited to the last few

00:52:14.000 months, which was sad. But you make a good point from previously, it really goes back to if you

00:52:19.000 build it, they will come.

00:52:20.000 They could have this hissy fit, they can pull out their money, but if he's truly going to turn this into a new revolutionary platform, move it away from this advertiser beholden structure into something more WeChat, better tech, better features, and the masses come back to Twitter, what are they going to do?

00:52:38.000 They're not going to be able to hold off for long because they're missing a massive market for potential advertising, you know, supply.

00:52:44.000 So they're not going to We're not going to turn that down.

00:52:45.000 It's me super chatted, Elon needs to charge $5 to tweet at Trump only.

00:52:50.000 Make the rest ad free, $1 trillion a year profit.

00:52:53.000 All the Trump reply guys, it's like, well, if you tweet at Trump, it's $5.

00:52:57.000 And then they would just fund the whole platform.

00:52:59.000 That's it.

00:53:00.000 That's how you monetize Twitter.

00:53:01.000 There you go.

00:53:02.000 It's as simple as that.

00:53:03.000 I asked Bill Altman if he wanted to federate minds with Twitter, Parler, Rumble, and Truth

00:53:06.000 Social, and he was like, hell yeah, except not the Fediverse because of the limitations.

00:53:11.000 And it was just a vague interaction we had, but he pointed at Noster, which I mentioned at the beginning of the show.

00:53:15.000 N-O-S-T-E-R. 1.00

00:53:17.000 It's a protocol.

00:53:19.000 Let's see, you can go to Noster.

00:53:21.000 It's on github.com slash Noster dash protocol.

00:53:24.000 So I think what's going to happen is all these networks are going to be able to interoperate.

00:53:28.000 You'll be able to see true social content while you're logged in.

00:53:31.000 Because the problem with the Fediverse is it doesn't have a universal login.

00:53:34.000 It's going to aggregate everything?

00:53:35.000 Yeah.

00:53:36.000 With Fediverse, you'd have to log into like Mastodon to view everything that's federated.

00:53:39.000 And then if Mastodon wants you banned, you can't view anything anymore because you're

00:53:42.000 Mastodon accounted.

00:53:43.000 We can't write off Alt-Tec because Alt-Tec definitely pushed Twitter and obviously is

00:53:47.000 It's led to a lot of the tech features they've begun to release, so it's done its job.

00:53:51.000 I hope Elon's, you know, revolution of Twitter doesn't totally, you know, negate everything that you guys are building and others are building.

00:53:58.000 I think we can take it offline, too.

00:53:59.000 Like, we could have mesh networks locally with this software, with this Twitter and Mines, all this stuff, where, like, I can tweet at you if you're nearby, without having any kind of internet, just on our devices.

00:54:10.000 Look, I think Elon needs to communicate much more and much more quickly because I do not see any logic or reason why certain accounts like the Babylon Bee haven't been reinstated.

00:54:20.000 More importantly, James Lindsay.

00:54:23.000 He got banned for calling someone a groomer who was literally a groomer.

00:54:26.000 He's not insulting LGBTQ people.

00:54:29.000 He's literally calling out somebody who was grooming kids.

00:54:33.000 He was banned for that.

00:54:34.000 There are many things that Elon could have walked in and snapped his fingers.

00:54:38.000 If his complaint is that it took him a year to make an edit button, then it's like, okay, I get it.

00:54:43.000 We're on day one and a half or whatever.

00:54:45.000 But that's why communication's important.

00:54:47.000 Cat Turd tweeted, Elon's taken over, nothing's changed.

00:54:51.000 Elon said, I'll be digging into this more today.

00:54:53.000 Then he comes out and says, we won't do anything until our committee happens.

00:54:57.000 Are you kidding?

00:54:59.000 Okay, dude, look, I feel like it's...

00:55:02.000 If Elon doesn't immediately just pull out the lightning bolt of Zeus and throw it, he's going to keep sitting down having conversations like Dorsey.

00:55:12.000 I'll put it this way.

00:55:14.000 The old trope about the president getting elected, and, you know, he's on the campaign trail saying, I'm gonna end the wars!

00:55:20.000 And I'm gonna get the price of gas down.

00:55:23.000 Then he gets into office, the CIA, the FBI, DHS, they all slam all these folders on his desk and say, you can't and here's why.

00:55:29.000 And then, instead of pulling a Trump, where Trump goes, excuse me, excuse me, I don't know, I don't care, get this out of here, I'm doing what I want, we're getting the troops out.

00:55:37.000 And then they all lost their mind and tried to get rid of him.

00:55:40.000 Elon's going in there, and I worry, and I don't know, it's only been day one.

00:55:44.000 But he may go in and pull a traditional presidential trope in that he goes, I'm gonna unban everybody and I'm gonna do these things.

00:55:50.000 He sits down and they go, okay, now this advertiser does 300 million per year.

00:55:55.000 They said that if Trump is on the platform, they won't advertise it anymore.

00:55:58.000 If you don't have that money, we lose this core of the company.

00:56:00.000 And then this company says we don't like Milo, they complained.

00:56:03.000 If you have him on, and then Elon's gonna go, okay.

00:56:05.000 So, if I have these 10 people banned, we keep all this money and the platform keeps working?

00:56:10.000 Alright, well I guess I'll compromise there.

00:56:13.000 I had a conversation with a tech CEO a long time ago, of a big social media platform, and they told me, it's a guy, and he said, I don't want to ban these people, but if I don't ban this guy, everyone loses the platform.

00:56:29.000 So what am I supposed to do? 0.98

00:56:30.000 And I was like, I don't know, grow a pair of balls? 0.99

00:56:32.000 Call the bluff of these companies? 0.98

00:56:35.000 Look them in the eye and say, if you don't want to advertise on the platform that everyone is on, and you want to make yourself irrelevant, by all means, Will Wheaton is hanging out who knows where these days.

00:56:47.000 He's not on Twitter or on Mastodon, but I'm sure he's looking for someone to talk to.

00:56:51.000 You can go hang out with them.

00:56:52.000 You want to be in our house where the party's at?

00:56:55.000 Then you accept there are people here who say things you don't like.

00:56:59.000 If Elon doesn't just assert that immediately, we're spiraling back into the same problem.

00:57:04.000 The fact that he's saying we need a diverse board to decide this, I'm all like, there we go again.

00:57:08.000 I heard the same thing from Dorsey three years ago, and Elon's saying the same thing again.

00:57:13.000 I said it was a bad move.

00:57:14.000 And I like how he's obviously being very responsive in the Twitter replies, but Jack was the same.

00:57:14.000 I stand by it.

00:57:19.000 And he went on Rogan, he did all the song and dance and nothing changed.

00:57:22.000 So he's going to repeat history and it's going to lead to the continued downfall of Twitter.

00:57:27.000 And again, it goes back to Trump.

00:57:28.000 But what do you have to lose?

00:57:29.000 But this is why the Twitter execs cashed out.

00:57:32.000 They were like, all right, it's all yours, buddy.

00:57:34.000 Yeah, enjoy.

00:57:35.000 I have hope that things will be different.

00:57:37.000 Let time tell.

00:57:39.000 It's still early on here.

00:57:40.000 When Jack was involved, it was a public company, and he didn't have control of it at that point anymore.

00:57:44.000 He was just kind of saying what he wanted, but Elon has full control at this point.

00:57:47.000 Which means there's no XPI and things like that.

00:57:50.000 He can't do illegal things, obviously.

00:57:53.000 He's got the reins and he's got his foot on the gas.

00:57:56.000 The stakes are so high we have to hold his feet to the fire, to the coals.

00:58:00.000 The stakes can be higher.

00:58:01.000 This is a civilizational type of thing we're dealing with.

00:58:04.000 This is the public square.

00:58:06.000 This is the means of communication, the way to disseminate any kind of idea.

00:58:10.000 So it's not just any other business.

00:58:11.000 It's not a retail operation.

00:58:13.000 It's not a car company.

00:58:14.000 It really goes beyond that.

00:58:16.000 Maybe not on the financial side, but certainly on the civilizational side.

00:58:19.000 Here's what's going to happen.

00:58:21.000 He's convening this diverse viewpoint moderation committee council.

00:58:26.000 And here's what's going to happen.

00:58:28.000 If he does have progressives on it, they're going to say, do not reinstate Alex Jones. 0.99

00:58:32.000 He's a violent, authoritarian, fascist bigot. 0.98

00:58:36.000 Elon is going to have to tell them to screw off, or he's going to have to listen to them. 1.00

00:58:42.000 Either way, what's the point of doing the council?

00:58:46.000 If you've got to tell them to screw off anyway because you know what their answer is going to be, then just unban Jones.

00:58:52.000 If you are not going to, then you're just listening to the mob.

00:58:54.000 There's no middle ground here.

00:58:56.000 There's no magical world where the people who burn down cities in the George Floyd rise and then lie about it in the media, there's no world where they're like peacefully negotiating with you.

00:59:06.000 Because the left governs in the private sector and the public sector by their ideology and their ideology will dictate their actions and then you have, you know, Good intention.

00:59:15.000 People like Elon coming into and they're like, you know, we'll make a committee, we'll make a council, let's let everyone hear it out, and it doesn't go anywhere.

00:59:22.000 I'll take the win for now.

00:59:23.000 I don't want to be, you know, total negative Nancy on this one.

00:59:26.000 It's been good.

00:59:27.000 I'm just genuinely confused as to why he didn't unban the Babylon Bee immediately.

00:59:33.000 It would have been big press.

00:59:35.000 It would have been good.

00:59:36.000 I can imagine a few things.

00:59:38.000 The reason why Twitter bans the people they do is because advertisers demand it.

00:59:43.000 That's it.

00:59:44.000 Because the left is good at organizing.

00:59:46.000 They don't just send complaints themselves.

00:59:48.000 They complain to advertisers and say, we will come for you.

00:59:53.000 These advertisers know.

00:59:55.000 Yeah, they mean it.

00:59:56.000 They'll come with firebombs, bricks, signs.

00:59:58.000 They'll cause us damage.

00:59:59.000 They'll smash the windows out.

01:00:01.000 Let me tell you, if you own a storefront in Portland, or I'll say Berkeley, All the Berkeley storefronts have anti-Trump, or they did, and woke signs.

01:00:11.000 Why?

01:00:12.000 If in the middle of the night someone throws a brick, what can you do?

01:00:16.000 You know what the police are gonna say?

01:00:16.000 Call the police?

01:00:18.000 They're gonna say, sorry it happened to you.

01:00:20.000 Let us know if anything else happens.

01:00:21.000 See ya!

01:00:22.000 What are they gonna do?

01:00:23.000 They're gonna launch a big investigation to hunt down a person who ran by with a rock?

01:00:26.000 Never gonna happen.

01:00:27.000 But you're gonna have to pay thousands of dollars or however much to fix that gigantic window.

01:00:31.000 So then everyone just says, it's easier just to put the sign up and mind my own business.

01:00:36.000 And this is what happens with big corporations.

01:00:38.000 Let's say you sell Sody Pop.

01:00:40.000 And then you get 50 emails from Antifa, from BLM, and they say, we can cause you so much damage, you will regret crossing us.

01:00:47.000 And they go, I don't care about this.

01:00:49.000 Just, fine, we'll stop advertising on Twitter, it doesn't make enough money for us anyway.

01:00:54.000 Then, Elon, or whoever's at Twitter, sees that come in, look, we're getting tons of complaints about Milo, we don't want to advertise on your platform anymore, and they go, look, either we ban Milo, or we lose the whole platform.

01:01:04.000 And then they do, and that's the chain of events.

01:01:06.000 Unless someone is willing to say, It's either this or nothing.

01:01:10.000 It will not change.

01:01:11.000 I mean, that didn't happen yet.

01:01:12.000 If it does, he deserves to be called out.

01:01:15.000 I'm a little bit more optimistic.

01:01:16.000 We're still early on.

01:01:18.000 Let time tell.

01:01:19.000 Time?

01:01:19.000 What do you mean?

01:01:21.000 It's been seven months.

01:01:23.000 We all know the Babylon Bee is unfairly locked out of their house. 0.73

01:01:26.000 There's an election next month.

01:01:27.000 There's an election in a week!

01:01:30.000 And Elon Musk finally secures the platform, and if anything he could do is say,

01:01:35.000 my friends, the Babylon Bee shouldn't have been banned. I already know that's true.

01:01:39.000 I am going to remove this lock. As for other people, I don't know.

01:01:43.000 I am going to need some time to work through this. I'd accept that.

01:01:45.000 And the counter argument to what you just stated before is that

01:01:49.000 the Twitter has been thoroughly woke-ified for years, and it's an unprofitable, dying platform.

01:01:56.000 It's been continuously making bad mistakes on the tech front.

01:01:59.000 It's losing users.

01:02:00.000 Most of its users are bots.

01:02:02.000 They've tried the fully woke model, and it's not working from a financial perspective.

01:02:06.000 So if he's going to be intimidated by the supposed financial repercussions of allowing more free speech on banning the Babylon Bee... I think the Babylon Bee is back.

01:02:16.000 Go on Twitter right now.

01:02:17.000 He's watching.

01:02:17.000 I think they're back.

01:02:19.000 I think BibleLumpee is back right now.

01:02:21.000 Are they tweeting?

01:02:21.000 I haven't seen any tweets.

01:02:22.000 I just looked at it a minute ago.

01:02:25.000 They're not back.

01:02:26.000 It was locked.

01:02:27.000 So the account wasn't erased or anything.

01:02:29.000 It was just locked until they removed the tweet.

01:02:32.000 They can't get access to their account to view or post tweets until they remove the offensive tweet on Rachel Levine.

01:02:38.000 So, this is what keeps happening.

01:02:40.000 Which is like, literally like this tactic that they do.

01:02:42.000 They go, regret, take it back, take it back now, you've been a bad looker.

01:02:47.000 I get dozens of messages every day from people who are like, Tim, Trump is back!

01:02:52.000 And I'm like, oh!

01:02:53.000 Because they assume that Trump's account shouldn't exist.

01:02:57.000 It's like, no, on Instagram he can't post anything.

01:03:00.000 On Facebook, his account is there.

01:03:03.000 People think because they can see it, it means they're back.

01:03:05.000 So I hear this non-stop, every single time.

01:03:09.000 Look, I made my point.

01:03:11.000 Elon waiting on this.

01:03:12.000 I know it's been a day, so okay, calm down a little bit.

01:03:15.000 We'll see over the week if we're gonna get any meaningful changes.

01:03:21.000 I just, I really need...

01:03:24.000 I don't understand why we didn't see anything.

01:03:26.000 The move is to do it all at once, and you say, in a sweeping move, all accounts that have been banned or locked that didn't violate U.S.

01:03:34.000 state law are hereby reinstated.

01:03:36.000 Agreed.

01:03:37.000 And he could do that today, right now.

01:03:39.000 And probably take the weekend to do it, and then on Monday morning.

01:03:41.000 He'll do it at 4.20 on Sunday.

01:03:42.000 And again, it makes it so much harder.

01:03:45.000 The concern is that big advertisers like this one are saying, we'll pull our ads.

01:03:51.000 And if there's no money coming in, there's no Twitter.

01:03:54.000 But unless someone breaks the addiction cycle of this broken psychotic machine, it will keep happening.

01:04:00.000 What's Twitter blue?

01:04:01.000 You know how much money they're pulling in from Twitter blue?

01:04:03.000 It's like three bucks a month, but here's the issue.

01:04:05.000 You want to know why Antifa is allowed to organize illegal activity on the platform and get away with it?

01:04:10.000 Because Twitter is scared of them.

01:04:12.000 Because the big advertisers are scared of them.

01:04:14.000 That's why they don't get banned, because they're the one- Look, I say it all the time.

01:04:18.000 Does Twitter headquarters, pre-Elon, were they ever scared that, like, Dave Rubin is gonna lead a bunch of classic liberals with pitchforks and torches to their doorstep?

01:04:28.000 No. 0.93

01:04:29.000 Are they concerned a bunch of black-masked lunatic psychopaths with bricks and molotovs and guns would? 0.99

01:04:34.000 Yeah, because they do. 0.98

01:04:36.000 So, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, every advertiser, they are scared to death that one day they'll walk outside their building and some guy will hit him in the face with a brick.

01:04:46.000 And it's not going to be a conservative.

01:04:48.000 So, we can ban the conservatives because they won't do anything about it anyway, but we better not cross Antifa and the extremists left.

01:04:56.000 It's still happening right now.

01:04:58.000 And you're presenting a broader political dilemma is that it's this asymmetrical political fight where the conservatives or the right wing are fighting with their hands tied behind their back, and the left wing are bringing guns to a knife fight or not even to a fight at all, and they're just playing to win.

01:05:13.000 They don't care about the substance, they don't care about the style, they don't care about anything else.

01:05:17.000 They're there for one thing, one thing only, power, power dynamics, and advancing their ideology, and they don't care about any of the niceties associated with, you know, councils, etc.

01:05:26.000 I would not be surprised.

01:05:28.000 Okay, look.

01:05:29.000 It's a victory that Elon bought the platform.

01:05:30.000 We cracked the Louis XIII.

01:05:31.000 I know, I know, I know.

01:05:32.000 But I'm just... I'm eager to make sure this goes in the right direction.

01:05:36.000 And his announcement about some diverse viewpoint council sounds just like Jack Dorsey.

01:05:41.000 Just like Vijay Agade.

01:05:42.000 Sounds exactly like what they were saying.

01:05:44.000 Based on that...

01:05:46.000 I wouldn't be surprised.

01:05:47.000 I'm not saying it's highly probable if, come April, there's me sitting with Elon and Joe being like, Elon, why won't you do this?

01:05:56.000 We had this Antiva person, and Elon's gonna be like, we're going in, and we're trying to make sure we're doing it fair, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:06:03.000 I'm not saying it's highly probable.

01:06:04.000 I'm not saying I would bet on that.

01:06:05.000 I'm saying I wouldn't be surprised based on wanting a diverse viewpoint committee or whatever.

01:06:10.000 I'm like, that right there was just like, oh, that's more BS.

01:06:12.000 Start a crypto token, start a utility token, Elon, a Twitter token.

01:06:16.000 What if he puts Doge on Twitter?

01:06:17.000 Yeah, use Doge and then you can pay users with Dogecoins.

01:06:21.000 So here's another strange phenomenon we can talk about.

01:06:24.000 Here's my social blade for my Twitter account.

01:06:26.000 Look at me with 1,361,000 followers.

01:06:28.000 Thank you for following me.

01:06:29.000 I just tweet nonsense.

01:06:31.000 I've lost 5,000 so far this month, but that's up 22%. 1.00

01:06:35.000 And probably because I've been, you know, I just tweet kind of stupid nonsense.

01:06:38.000 But today, I gained 4,264 followers. 0.88

01:06:42.000 What about you, Luke?

01:06:43.000 You gained a bunch of followers?

01:06:44.000 I did, and I got a whole bunch of engagement, a whole bunch of likes that I never had before.

01:06:48.000 I'm gonna check right now.

01:06:49.000 Probably, maybe they have started with the lower level accounts, and they're working their way up, and these are some of the... Well, he said he didn't make any changes.

01:06:57.000 Yeah, he said no changes have happened.

01:06:59.000 Luke, you gained 859.

01:07:01.000 I mean, you've been consistently gaining a good amount of followers this past week, but today you've gained more than double what you gained yesterday.

01:07:07.000 859 followers.

01:07:07.000 Yeah.

01:07:10.000 So, hold on, and check this out.

01:07:14.000 Twitter, the great purge has begun.

01:07:14.000 Look at this.

01:07:16.000 Twitter users report losing thousands of followers as Elon Musk formally takes over the platform and sets to work on bot cleaning.

01:07:23.000 He says he hasn't changed the content moderation, but take a look at this.

01:07:27.000 Kate Smith says, wow, I lost a few hundred followers overnight.

01:07:30.000 Welcome to Twitter, Elon.

01:07:32.000 People are saying, I lost followers.

01:07:34.000 One person with the Ukrainian flag in their profile, I lost 50 followers.

01:07:37.000 Yeah, you know what I think?

01:07:38.000 I said it before, I'll say it again.

01:07:40.000 Twitter was propping up fake accounts to make it look like the left was more prominent than they were because the right is more prominent and they were banning people on the right and shadow banning them to make it seem like they were less prominent.

01:07:50.000 They put their thumb on the scale.

01:07:52.000 And this is so When you talk about politicians, you talk about their staff, you talk about the decisions that happen in Washington, they see Twitter as really what's the viewpoint of the vast majority of people, their constituents, what's the public's view on things, but it's a completely manipulated audience pool.

01:08:10.000 I mean, if it was a congressional district, it'd be like a D plus 70.

01:08:13.000 It's not something that exists in the real world.

01:08:15.000 And it's all about the perception that they're creating, the illusion they're creating.

01:08:19.000 And it's not just the likes, it's not just the follows, it's even the comments.

01:08:22.000 I mean, you see those memes that go around where it's all the same comment that's being shared every time a major news cycle hits.

01:08:28.000 And I'm glad he's going after it, and it's also noticeable.

01:08:31.000 It's these left-wing accounts claiming they're losing followers, which were bots.

01:08:34.000 A few weeks ago, it was right-wing accounts claiming they lost followers, who were real people.

01:08:38.000 They're saying it's people quitting the platform.

01:08:40.000 In protest.

01:08:41.000 So what?

01:08:42.000 Is the 4,000 followers a bunch of conservatives joining the platform?

01:08:45.000 I don't believe it, because Twitter recommends leftist accounts, not right-wing accounts.

01:08:48.000 First, leftists, they'll never follow through on their threats to quit.

01:08:51.000 They never moved to Canada, for example.

01:08:53.000 So I doubt that they actually, you know, are quitting Twitter right now.

01:08:55.000 So it's certainly bots.

01:08:57.000 That was something he brought up, and that was something that came up, you know, in the evaluation talks when they were first, you know, in talks to buy.

01:09:03.000 It was the bot issue.

01:09:04.000 I mean, that's a fundamental issue.

01:09:06.000 It could be that Elon immediately went after the bots.

01:09:08.000 First thing he did.

01:09:09.000 Yeah.

01:09:10.000 And so, you know, I'll say maybe I want to see some changes faster than he can go about it.

01:09:15.000 Maybe Elon is like, the bots got to go first.

01:09:17.000 And advertisers are on board with that.

01:09:18.000 If we want to go back to the finite, cause they want real, legitimate, clean, you know, metrics.

01:09:23.000 They don't want bots. 0.83

01:09:24.000 Or maybe just to investigate to see what was going on, to see what the algorithm really was, to see how it was being manipulated, to see who was being punished for what.

01:09:33.000 I think there needs to be a long investigation into what is essentially very potentially very illegal activities with election interfering done by Twitter.

01:09:44.000 So that's a very serious accusation, but only someone who just acquired a company is going to be looking into that right now as we're speaking.

01:09:52.000 And we have to give him more credit.

01:09:53.000 I do agree with you.

01:09:54.000 He's coming into a company where the workforce that exists is largely hostile.

01:09:58.000 I hate him. 0.86

01:09:58.000 He hates it. 0.86

01:09:59.000 He needs to fire 70%.

01:10:00.000 I think he could probably fire 90%.

01:10:03.000 He is in a good position that he could bring over some loyal, you know, staff and support from, you know, Tesla, some of his engineers there, etc.

01:10:09.000 But it is going to take a period of time just from a logistical, technical perspective to dig into this and actually find out what's going on behind the scenes, how it can be rectified, how it can be... And how do you undo the damage?

01:10:20.000 Guys, he's not going to endear himself to the employees after he just fired Ligma Johnson.

01:10:26.000 Ligma Johnson was asking for it, though.

01:10:28.000 Who is this Ligma Johnson follow? 1.00

01:10:29.000 Ligma Johnson is on local news and a very serious person.

01:10:34.000 This is real.

01:10:34.000 This is really his name.

01:10:35.000 Yes?

01:10:36.000 I think it was like, no, it was two guys.

01:10:38.000 It was like Rahul Ligma and Daniel Johnson.

01:10:41.000 Were they, they got fired? 0.89

01:10:42.000 No, they were trolls.

01:10:42.000 Is that a real story?

01:10:43.000 They showed up to Twitter HQ with boxes.

01:10:45.000 That is awesome.

01:10:46.000 You think he would have fired Ligma Johnson?

01:10:47.000 I think they're gonna get hired.

01:10:48.000 They thought they got fired automatically.

01:10:50.000 Turns out.

01:10:51.000 I mean, honestly, if you're a free software developer and you want to get involved, keep your eyes on Twitter, because he's going to be hiring.

01:10:57.000 Or it could just be a community project.

01:11:00.000 He's going to be firing.

01:11:01.000 He's going to be opening up a lot of positions.

01:11:02.000 But the thing is, I don't think Twitter needs, I don't know whether they have 5,000 employees.

01:11:06.000 I mean, if you're running a free software decentralized network, you need the world's community to be involved.

01:11:11.000 And you don't need to pay them.

01:11:12.000 Can I show you this, guys?

01:11:15.000 Parag Agrawal's salary was $30.4 million in 2021.

01:11:19.000 Ned Seagal was $18.9 million.

01:11:22.000 Vijaya was $17 million.

01:11:24.000 Sean Edgar, his composition was unclear.

01:11:26.000 He was the one who had to be escorted out of the building, which is really interesting.

01:11:30.000 So, what is this?

01:11:31.000 A former COO, Sarah Personette, was handed $11.2 million as part of Musk's house clearance.

01:11:38.000 I want you to think about $30.4 million.

01:11:41.000 And I'd like to ask you, what do you do with that money?

01:11:46.000 What do you do with it?

01:11:48.000 I was going to say what they did for it, but...

01:11:50.000 No, I mean, he's working a full-time job, which is very, like, he runs Twitter.

01:11:55.000 I know.

01:11:55.000 Being the CEO, it's a very, it's a high-level job of a very large company.

01:12:00.000 It's just insane to me that these people, like, couldn't get an edit button done in a year, but they were given $30 million.

01:12:07.000 Well, the pay wasn't based on the merits or the financials or anything.

01:12:11.000 It was based on loyalty to the regime and the regime's doctrine and what they were trying to push through this platform and the social engineering they wanted to use the platform for, and they were only willing participants in that, so they were paid handsomely for doing a job well done.

01:12:27.000 But it's not based on any basic profit or loss model of a traditional business.

01:12:31.000 It's based on loyalty to the regime, and that's why this gentleman will be spending that $30 million somehow.

01:12:37.000 I have no idea, though.

01:12:38.000 30 million dollars to not be able to get an edit button done in a year.

01:12:42.000 That's just, it's incredible.

01:12:44.000 I don't think people truly understand what $30 million means.

01:12:47.000 He wouldn't be able to spend that if he tried.

01:12:49.000 Wasn't there like a dozen real engineers?

01:12:52.000 I'm making the numbers up, but there was an extremely small number of real engineers, and the entire structure of the workforce was like a reverse pyramid, where it was those 12 supporting this massive, bloated, you know, pension scheme at Twitter, effectively.

01:13:06.000 And it was like these few engineers that were doing all the work, and everything else was just...

01:13:10.000 You know, corporate fluff and councils and committees and, you know, diversity leaders, whatever it is.

01:13:16.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:13:17.000 I don't think the hardware was the majority of the people.

01:13:20.000 There are probably people that are like, how do we handle the crowd kind of people?

01:13:23.000 Right.

01:13:24.000 Trust and safety.

01:13:25.000 It's like so Orwellian.

01:13:26.000 It's all like an extension of HR.

01:13:28.000 It's all just these positions that exist to perpetuate their own positions.

01:13:33.000 They're not actually fundamentally doing any real work.

01:13:36.000 I will say, like you said, I don't know.

01:13:37.000 Maybe there were incredible developers across the board there.

01:13:40.000 There was a meme that came out that said, you know, Musk fires, half of Twitter replaces it with one hard-working Indian engineer.

01:13:46.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:13:47.000 That's basically what it is.

01:13:48.000 He could do the job of 3,200 people.

01:13:51.000 Right.

01:13:51.000 Yep.

01:13:51.000 Exactly.

01:13:52.000 That sounds about right.

01:13:53.000 Well, it's all emo-pushing jobs.

01:13:54.000 You know, they send an email, they're gonna circle back, and that concludes the day.

01:13:58.000 All right, guys.

01:13:59.000 The thing about the compensation that really gets me is that I would be willing to bet a substantial sum myself that you, the average viewer, could do his job.

01:14:12.000 Not kidding.

01:14:14.000 What knowledge does he have where he was like, it was mismanaged, it was managed so poorly the company was struggling, it was basically failing.

01:14:21.000 This is just, there is an elite class in this planet, it's always been the case, they do nothing, they get everything.

01:14:28.000 But they think it's on merit.

01:14:30.000 In 2018, there were roughly 4,000 Twitter employees.

01:14:33.000 Three years later, 2021, or four years later, I guess, there were 75.

01:14:37.000 So it went from 4,000 to 7,500.

01:14:40.000 Almost doubled the amount of employees.

01:14:41.000 Now map the user growth, which I think if you factor out bots, I don't know what it is, but it's probably stagnant, if not, you know, a downward trend, but at least if you factor out bots, which may not be possible.

01:14:52.000 All right, let's find out.

01:14:53.000 Yeah, people are pointing out that Kanye's Twitter account is back and Elon pointed out that's an automatic thing, it has nothing to do with him, you know.

01:15:01.000 Oh, it was like one of those seven-day things or whatever?

01:15:03.000 Right, and so his account just turned back on or whatever.

01:15:05.000 Well, he should just take credit.

01:15:07.000 I just, you know, it really is shocking and it's unfortunate.

01:15:11.000 I would be willing to bet additionally that if I took that 30 million dollars.

01:15:18.000 In one year.

01:15:19.000 30.

01:15:21.000 And gave it to a random viewer of this show.

01:15:23.000 They would build something more substantial, more historical, and better than anything he did.

01:15:28.000 That's just... I really can't stand Silicon Valley and that machine.

01:15:33.000 Crony capitalist BS.

01:15:35.000 I despise it so much.

01:15:37.000 It's an incentive structure for loyalty.

01:15:39.000 You keep these guys operating against their own company's best interests because they know the payout will be greater than whatever else they could get through normal channels.

01:15:48.000 And I guess he got $60 million to get fired.

01:15:51.000 Parag?

01:15:52.000 What's his name?

01:15:53.000 Parag?

01:15:53.000 Yeah.

01:15:54.000 He got $60 million, I think.

01:15:55.000 Someone want to fact check it real quick?

01:15:57.000 Well, in a way, you know— I think his Golden Parachute was, uh, 60 million.

01:16:01.000 I was wondering what Elon would do.

01:16:02.000 I'm glad that he gave them payouts.

01:16:05.000 I mean, I don't think you can ethically just say, like, goodbye, now everything that you were earning is set to zero, so.

01:16:11.000 But that's a lot of money, my man.

01:16:13.000 Ethically.

01:16:14.000 60 million bucks!

01:16:15.000 Uh, let's see.

01:16:16.000 I got this, uh, the total value they say in Guardian was $120 million in Golden Parachutes.

01:16:22.000 Do they break it down?

01:16:23.000 Uh, here we go.

01:16:25.000 What is it?

01:16:25.000 Do-do-do-do.

01:16:27.000 No, okay, 8.4 to Agrawal?

01:16:29.000 That doesn't sound right.

01:16:29.000 This all goes back to the Fed.

01:16:32.000 34.8 million to Vijay Agade?

01:16:33.000 Why would she get more than the CEO? 0.89

01:16:35.000 That seems strange.

01:16:37.000 Whatever, there you go.

01:16:37.000 She's been there longer, I think.

01:16:38.000 She's a woman. 0.82

01:16:40.000 Well, she's been there longer, so maybe that's it.

01:16:42.000 But it's just so crazy, man.

01:16:44.000 I'm looking at the user growth.

01:16:46.000 The numbers from 2018, they had 335 million monthly active users, but then two years later, they had 330.

01:16:53.000 So, I mean, actually down 5 million.

01:16:55.000 So the staff went up?

01:16:57.000 And the users went down.

01:16:58.000 That's right.

01:16:58.000 It's a great setup.

01:16:59.000 The staff went from 4,000 to 5,500 while the daily user rate didn't change.

01:17:06.000 It pays to be the thought police, you know?

01:17:08.000 When you're censoring speech, when you're going after people for political ideas and expression and act like you're fighting the Germans during the 1930s, you've got to be paid a lot of money to play pretend for that long, for that much, for that big of a circumstance.

01:17:23.000 For that crazy of an act.

01:17:25.000 Exactly.

01:17:26.000 You know, and you got to pay for private security if you're in Silicon Valley.

01:17:30.000 You know, a lot of crazy people out there running around with hammers and deranged individuals and people throwing poop at you and people, you know, syringes, people giving themselves the vaccine in the streets all the time.

01:17:42.000 So, I want to see Rumble's headquarters.

01:17:44.000 Because I'm thinking about Twitter's HQ was very lavish.

01:17:47.000 I visited Rumble.

01:17:48.000 Yeah, I got a tour of the headquarters down in Florida.

01:17:50.000 Is it a small, like, bachelor-style apartment?

01:17:53.000 There's no bathroom?

01:17:56.000 It's surreal because it looks like a cartel house.

01:17:59.000 Like, right on the water.

01:18:00.000 It's like, it's huge.

01:18:02.000 It's a beautiful place.

01:18:03.000 Chris Pavlowski greeted you with, like, a scotch and a cigar, and he was like, I'm like, this looks like a scene out of Scarface.

01:18:09.000 It really does.

01:18:10.000 I'm like, where's the rifle?

01:18:13.000 I feel like that's better than a modernist, soulless building in Silicon Valley with their cafeteria and all their little perks and their yoga room.

01:18:21.000 And it's not that big.

01:18:23.000 That's what I'm wondering.

01:18:24.000 How many floors?

01:18:25.000 Two floors.

01:18:25.000 Oh, see, that's modest.

01:18:27.000 We didn't have a huge... I mean, that is a massive amount of overhead.

01:18:30.000 Not that many rooms, either.

01:18:32.000 You just don't need it.

01:18:33.000 Not with social media, man.

01:18:34.000 You don't need big buildings.

01:18:36.000 It's all about servers and server placement, which, ideally, we'll have that stuff in orbit, because if we do take some sort of asteroid contact, we're going to need to preserve our data and our knowledge.

01:18:47.000 But Ian, the problem is, how do you dissipate the heat in outer space?

01:18:52.000 On big data centers?

01:18:54.000 You could hit it with laser cooling.

01:18:56.000 Laser cooling?

01:18:57.000 Like if you hit something with a laser, it should move heat that way.

01:19:00.000 Move heat where?

01:19:01.000 Along with the laser.

01:19:02.000 Like the laser will carry the heat with it.

01:19:04.000 I see what you're saying.

01:19:05.000 So the laser goes through it and then actually transfers the energy out.

01:19:08.000 Correct.

01:19:09.000 If we could do direct thermal conversion into light and then beam it away, that would work.

01:19:16.000 That would be crazy.

01:19:17.000 I'm glad you're my friend.

01:19:20.000 That's a cool idea.

01:19:20.000 That's pretty cool.

01:19:21.000 I mean, for right now, yeah, actually, that's interesting, but the servers are going to generate heat.

01:19:27.000 We can try and recapture heat, but it's got to go somewhere because the ambient heat we can't control perfectly.

01:19:31.000 The efficiency wouldn't be there.

01:19:32.000 Yeah, you should just write things on stone.

01:19:34.000 Just go back.

01:19:34.000 That'll work.

01:19:35.000 The servers operate by a guy reading the code and typing in the ones and zeros manually.

01:19:39.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:19:40.000 Let's see.

01:19:41.000 In 27 years, you'll get this tweet out.

01:19:42.000 Chris Pavlovsky, CEO of Rumble, and Elon have been, I don't know if the two of them directly have been in talks, but Chris reached out to him on Twitter about a month ago and was like, hey, you want to get involved?

01:19:50.000 Because I'm a big fan.

01:19:51.000 And Elon was like, all right.

01:19:53.000 And then now I hear they're working on like, because Chris is a server guy, Elon's a satellite guy.

01:19:58.000 Yeah, Twitter needs a video component.

01:20:01.000 Twitter needs something that could either be a TikTok or another Periscope or another Vine.

01:20:06.000 They need that.

01:20:07.000 They don't have that.

01:20:07.000 What if Elon does succeed with X and Twitter becomes a place where you've got a wallet, uses crypto, you can post videos, you can write stories, you can make tweets.

01:20:18.000 Like, it really becomes what Mark Zuckerberg was hoping Facebook would become.

01:20:21.000 The American WeChat.

01:20:23.000 And then I'm going to be critical of it and skeptical of it because of how powerful and all-encompassing it will be.

01:20:28.000 But as of right now, I'm optimistic when I see Bill Gates and other establishment figures attacking him.

01:20:33.000 But when it becomes too mainstream, that's when I'm going to have questions.

01:20:36.000 Well, no one thought that Myspace was going to fail or even Snapchat.

01:20:40.000 And now it looks like Facebook, the platform itself, is pretty much going nowhere.

01:20:43.000 So who knows?

01:20:44.000 We'll get a revitalization story out of Twitter.

01:20:46.000 If I was a billionaire, I would do what I would call the Parag Agrawal Challenge. 0.88

01:20:51.000 And I would give $30 million to a random person for an investment project.

01:20:55.000 Obviously there's rules, you don't just get the money.

01:20:57.000 It would be an investment, not income.

01:20:59.000 It would be, we create a company, we put $30 million in it, go.

01:21:04.000 And then we would see at the end of one year what we have.

01:21:08.000 I think it would be hilarious because you could take your average contractor and they'd be like, oh, I built a bunch of houses.

01:21:16.000 I'm like, wow, houses!

01:21:18.000 That's really amazing!

01:21:19.000 Parag, what did you do in one year?

01:21:21.000 Well, I was running Twitter and we couldn't get an edit button done.

01:21:25.000 I'm sure he was doing something, you know what I mean?

01:21:27.000 But based on that Project Veritas video where the guy is like, I work four hours a week or something like that, I really doubt any of them are doing anything.

01:21:34.000 Yeah, you want people that are committed to 40 plus hours a week at least, because it's about organization.

01:21:39.000 If you have 30 million, like I could pay you 30 million, but if you're only working eight hours a week and there's no other employees... Well, you've seen those viral TikTok videos with a girl walking around like, here's my day in the office. 0.68

01:21:49.000 I got lunch, yoga.

01:21:51.000 It's really stressful.

01:21:52.000 Red wine on tap.

01:21:53.000 Right.

01:21:53.000 So here's the secret.

01:21:55.000 Investors ask people.

01:21:56.000 They say, ask you a question.

01:22:00.000 If tomorrow you woke up and you had a million dollars in the bank account, cash, clean, ready to use, it was a legitimate deposit, what would you do?

01:22:08.000 What would you do, Gavin?

01:22:10.000 I would just buy property.

01:22:11.000 You'd buy property?

01:22:12.000 Yeah, rentals.

01:22:13.000 That's not a terrible answer.

01:22:14.000 They're not making any more land.

01:22:17.000 What about you, Ian?

01:22:18.000 What would you do?

01:22:18.000 I think I would buy a house at this moment.

01:22:20.000 Yeah?

01:22:20.000 It depends.

01:22:22.000 At this interest rate? 0.98

01:22:23.000 Are you crazy?

01:22:23.000 Although I hear the housing market's about to dip.

01:22:25.000 Cash.

01:22:26.000 It's like cash purchase.

01:22:28.000 Uh, what would you do if you woke up and you had a million dollars just in cash in your bank account?

01:22:31.000 Buy a whole bunch of employees and expand operations.

01:22:33.000 Buy employees?

01:22:34.000 Like slaves?

01:22:35.000 No.

01:22:36.000 That's thinking outside the box.

01:22:39.000 No, no, no, I said the box.

01:22:40.000 Your guys' answer would never get you an investment.

01:22:42.000 Oh, yeah, I'm not looking for an investment.

01:22:43.000 Oh, you want it?

01:22:44.000 Oh, yeah, well, yeah.

01:22:45.000 It doesn't matter if you think you're getting investment or not.

01:22:48.000 The question... I mean I could pay four people a hundred grand.

01:22:51.000 Okay, but here's what people are looking for. They're looking for someone who

01:22:54.000 naturally wants to expand operations, not someone who needs to be told to do it.

01:22:58.000 So if you said, I'd buy a house, they'd go, that's really cool, nice meeting you.

01:23:02.000 And if they went to a homeless guy and he goes like, I'd love to start a company,

01:23:05.000 now just we're gonna make birdhouses and I'm gonna hire a hundred people and have

01:23:08.000 the biggest birdhouse in the back, you're hired.

01:23:10.000 We'll give you the money if they could be 72,000 a month for server space on AWS while I'm paying 60 grand for nine

01:23:16.000 employees three of which will be

01:23:18.000 Working for the six others two people will be responding.

01:23:21.000 You know that kind of thing. Oh god. Yes plug it in But you need to understand this that

01:23:26.000 Most people be like oh well. I didn't know you meant if I was gonna do a business

01:23:30.000 I don't.

01:23:31.000 I mean, what's your first priority?

01:23:32.000 And you guys clearly said property.

01:23:33.000 Not a bad answer, because property is an investment.

01:23:36.000 Most people will say, like, I go to Hawaii, I take my family out.

01:23:40.000 Those people will never see a dime from an investor.

01:23:43.000 So even with what we're doing here at Timcast, the biggest challenge is personnel, is finding people who want to work on something, not people who want a job.

01:23:51.000 People who want a job tend to just, you know, quiet, quit, do the bare minimum.

01:23:55.000 So when you're trying to invest in someone and give them a substantial amount of money, you want to go to someone and say, if you had a million dollars, what would you do?

01:24:01.000 It's like, oh man, you know, I've always wanted to launch my own comic book distribution network.

01:24:05.000 And if I just had the capital, we'd get it going, but I've already got the books.

01:24:08.000 I just need to figure out how to get to these.

01:24:10.000 You're, you're hired.

01:24:10.000 Here's the money.

01:24:11.000 Have fun.

01:24:11.000 Good luck.

01:24:11.000 What do you find is the bulk of cost when you're running operations?

01:24:15.000 Labor.

01:24:16.000 Always labor.

01:24:16.000 Humans cost money.

01:24:17.000 More specifically, in-house labor?

01:24:20.000 Out-of-house labor?

01:24:20.000 It's all the same.

01:24:21.000 Labor's labor.

01:24:22.000 People are the most expensive thing.

01:24:24.000 By far.

01:24:25.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:24:26.000 But do you end up spending 20%, 15% of the cost on outsourced labor, like legal stuff like that, marketing, things like that?

01:24:35.000 What do you mean?

01:24:36.000 I just wonder, just in general, if you spend it mostly on in-house employees?

01:24:40.000 Of course, of course.

01:24:41.000 I mean, we have a lot of contractors, and then we have legal, and then we have construction, and then we have external marketing and PR.

01:24:49.000 There's a lot of stuff that we don't do in-house because it doesn't make sense to do.

01:24:53.000 And most of the cost is, like, an employee working for the company.

01:24:56.000 You prefer to do that?

01:24:58.000 I mean, it's not so much prefer as just, like, It's more like if there's a wavy field, you know, let's say this table was wavy and you poured water on it, the water would pool in the lowest point, you know what I mean?

01:25:13.000 It's not like I'm saying, we should do contract labor or something, it's like, that's how it's done.

01:25:18.000 I'm not gonna hire a lawyer to work for this company, you know what I mean?

01:25:21.000 I'm gonna contract a legal, a law firm who can handle it.

01:25:23.000 Specialization.

01:25:24.000 Yeah, yeah, like, the people we need to hire, the people who need to be here all the time, specifically, like, a video producer, an audio engineer, but, like, Vice had in-house counsel, you know?

01:25:32.000 They had a room with, like, two or three lawyers in it.

01:25:35.000 They were really, really big.

01:25:36.000 Maybe we'll get to that point, you know?

01:25:37.000 But, uh, you know?

01:25:38.000 Yeah, anyway, my point, ultimately, about the cash stuff is...

01:25:42.000 I look at a lot of the people in Silicon Valley, a lot of the people at these companies, and they should not be getting paid what they're getting paid because they don't care about the product, they don't care about the growth, they don't care about the mission.

01:25:51.000 They don't believe in merit.

01:25:52.000 They believe in, like, I deserve to be here, and then they do nothing.

01:25:55.000 And then it just burns to the ground.

01:25:56.000 It's a broader problem in corporate America where you see these compensation packages are so out of whack with what they actually deliver.

01:26:03.000 And, you know, they make excuses and they talk about the scale of things, etc.

01:26:07.000 But at the end of the day, you know, it still is very much out of whack when you look at what you mentioned before, the growth in terms of staff and employees and the decrease in actual users.

01:26:17.000 I mean, there's... I'll tell you.

01:26:19.000 There's like a 45% increase in staff with no nominal growth.

01:26:23.000 Here's a secret if you want to be rich.

01:26:25.000 Go hang out with rich people.

01:26:27.000 That's it.

01:26:27.000 Goodbye.

01:26:28.000 I'll tell you why.

01:26:30.000 In like the Palisades, in Brentwood, in California and LA, you know these places, you've been there.

01:26:36.000 Oh yeah, beautiful.

01:26:37.000 These are the places where if you're just friends with one of these wealthy Hollywood elites, you can be like, you know I sell this fancy lotion, it's $100 a bottle.

01:26:47.000 They'll say, oh I'd love some, and then it's jergens in a little bottle.

01:26:51.000 And this is the way it works.

01:26:53.000 I've known people who are like, oh, I make jewelry.

01:26:57.000 And I'm like, how much do you make per year?

01:26:58.000 It's only a couple hundred thousand per year.

01:26:59.000 And I'm like, for making jewelry?

01:27:01.000 Yeah.

01:27:02.000 But I have a very select clientele of Hollywood elite.

01:27:04.000 It's like, okay, because you know rich, Hampton's too, because you're friends with rich people

01:27:09.000 and they want to buy from you, they just have money and give it to you.

01:27:13.000 You're rich.

01:27:13.000 There you go.

01:27:13.000 There's a whole social, like, class, you know, between the Hamptons and Hollywood, whatever, that feed off of that.

01:27:18.000 Usually, you know, they fall into, like, the wine mom, you know, category of, in terms of demographics.

01:27:23.000 It's unfortunate when people turn to alcohol when they get bored of so much money.

01:27:27.000 They beat the game and they just start getting drunk every night.

01:27:29.000 The only difference, on average in my opinion, maybe not necessarily, but there is a fine line between someone with a carpet, a sheet thrown on the ground with a bunch of jewelry strewn about it, and they're sitting there smiling at you saying, $1 necklaces, and some, you know, yoga wine aunt who is making $300,000 a year selling necklaces to select clientele in the Palisades.

01:27:55.000 It's just who you know.

01:27:57.000 A $4,000 haircut, because you're worth it.

01:27:59.000 Exactly.

01:28:00.000 And then they're able to write that off on their taxes.

01:28:02.000 This is all the Fed.

01:28:03.000 I don't think you can write off haircuts on your taxes.

01:28:05.000 Thank God.

01:28:06.000 Depending on your industry.

01:28:07.000 Yeah, entertainment?

01:28:09.000 For sure.

01:28:09.000 So, like, Hollywood can.

01:28:10.000 And this is the craziest thing.

01:28:11.000 If you're an actor in Hollywood, all that cosmetic stuff is a business expense.

01:28:15.000 And I mean, to be honest, it kind of is.

01:28:16.000 It's legitimate.

01:28:17.000 Yeah, you need to look a certain way and whatever.

01:28:20.000 But I have hung out with people who have told me their jobs are just like, oh, you know, I sell this, that, or otherwise.

01:28:27.000 And I'm like, and you make that much?

01:28:28.000 Half a million dollars selling?

01:28:30.000 They're like, well, of course.

01:28:31.000 I get 20% commission on all the products.

01:28:33.000 And my clients are all very wealthy.

01:28:35.000 And I'm like... It's like a royal court for like these new aristocrats.

01:28:39.000 You got the jester, you got a few people.

01:28:41.000 Exactly.

01:28:41.000 Luke, you mentioned that you would expand operations.

01:28:44.000 Are you talking about for We Are Change?

01:28:45.000 Yeah, and then just looking at solutions.

01:28:48.000 I think providing food that's not poisoned is a big industry that I think has a lot of potential to also get into, that I would want to get into, that I'm kind of looking into getting into, and helping people as much as I can.

01:29:03.000 So like selling health food?

01:29:06.000 Uh, maybe not even just health food.

01:29:07.000 Maybe just normal, regular food.

01:29:09.000 You know, without seed oil.

01:29:10.000 Without high fructose corn syrup, seed oils, and all the, you know, forever chemicals, and microplastics, and other things that just destroy humanity.

01:29:19.000 But it has a green label on it, and it says it's healthy.

01:29:21.000 What are you trying to tell me?

01:29:23.000 No, you're wrong.

01:29:25.000 You've been propagandized.

01:29:26.000 Let's put little styrofoam cubes in a plastic wrap, and then put the ingredients list.

01:29:32.000 You know, on it, and then people wouldn't know the difference anyway, you know what I mean?

01:29:35.000 You'd see a guy eating it. 0.60

01:29:36.000 Some fat guy.

01:29:38.000 It's like Rice Krispies. 0.97

01:29:39.000 Yeah, it's petrochemical.

01:29:41.000 Didn't they do an experiment where they made a Rice Krispie with, like, sawdust?

01:29:47.000 Just a small amount of sawdust and wanted to see if people could tell, and they couldn't, and it's basically equivalent to what they do to most of our food.

01:29:52.000 Have you looked at Parmesan cheese from the supermarket?

01:29:56.000 One of the ingredients is cellulose.

01:29:57.000 It might as well be cardboard.

01:29:59.000 It's indigestible plant matter.

01:30:01.000 Well, yeah, and they talk about, oh, we have a society where you're constantly having to work out just to be the bare minimum in terms of healthy.

01:30:09.000 You go to Europe, you look back in time, you know, the caloric intake hasn't gone up.

01:30:13.000 It's the quality of food we're putting in is trash.

01:30:16.000 And then we wonder why we've never been more unhealthy.

01:30:19.000 So we talked about this the other day.

01:30:21.000 We had Seth Weathers on.

01:30:23.000 He said, I need to eat more protein.

01:30:24.000 I said, I eat like 100 grams in one day.

01:30:26.000 He said, you need 150.

01:30:27.000 And I was like, do I?

01:30:28.000 And then I checked a government website and it said 70 grams, but I should be eating 400 to 500 carbs.

01:30:35.000 And then I was just thinking to myself, I couldn't eat that many carbs if I tried.

01:30:38.000 Well, they also said eggs were bad.

01:30:40.000 They said butter was bad.

01:30:41.000 Meat was bad.

01:30:42.000 Meat was bad.

01:30:43.000 It's like, it's all nonsense.

01:30:45.000 Whatever the government says, don't listen to them.

01:30:48.000 Do what tradition tells you.

01:30:49.000 What tradition says, eat a lot of meat, eggs, butter.

01:30:52.000 Let me tell you, you know those outright bars we have?

01:30:54.000 Yeah.

01:30:54.000 Those have 24 grams of carbs in it.

01:30:57.000 So I have to eat like, what, 20 of them to get the 500 carbs?

01:31:01.000 I could barely eat one of those protein bars.

01:31:04.000 Granted, there's protein in them.

01:31:05.000 But if I ate 20 of them, that's too much protein, I guess.

01:31:08.000 20 of them.

01:31:08.000 Insane.

01:31:09.000 They want you fat, childless, and on a really manipulated Twitter. 0.99

01:31:14.000 That's their mission. 0.91

01:31:16.000 Yeah.

01:31:17.000 And so I've been eating.

01:31:18.000 So I probably do need more protein, to be honest.

01:31:21.000 I skate a lot, exercise a lot.

01:31:23.000 But it's just insane that that's what people are told to eat.

01:31:28.000 The whole system just seems completely broken to me.

01:31:30.000 And we waste so much time talking about health and exercise instead of putting into other productive things.

01:31:35.000 It's like, we're so focused on the bare minimum, not being, you know, an obese, morbidly obese person.

01:31:40.000 You know, these are things a hundred years ago you didn't really have to deal with.

01:31:43.000 And I'm not saying they had to go out and hunter gather and, you know, hunt their food.

01:31:47.000 We had a balance, you know, as recently as the 1970s.

01:31:50.000 You could look at the charts.

01:31:52.000 It backs it up, but we just have so much time and energy wasted now into health food and

01:31:56.000 just returning to a normalcy.

01:31:57.000 Like you said, it's not even health food.

01:31:58.000 It's just normal food.

01:31:59.000 Normal food that my grandma used to eat that we don't get to eat right now because of a

01:32:04.000 number of different factors.

01:32:06.000 Monocropping is another horrible element, but more importantly, you don't even need

01:32:10.000 to look at the science or the data.

01:32:11.000 Look at the photos.

01:32:12.000 Look at the people a couple decades ago.

01:32:14.000 Look at the people now.

01:32:15.000 It's terrifying.

01:32:16.000 Whenever you go to a beach or a public park or a theme park, you look around, and if you start paying attention, you're like, holy freaking cow, there is biological warfare being committed on everyone.

01:32:30.000 Mostly in this country, though.

01:32:31.000 Because you go to other countries, it's not nearly as bad.

01:32:33.000 You see that photo from the 50s where everyone's just fit-looking?

01:32:36.000 So weird.

01:32:36.000 Yeah, they didn't go to gyms.

01:32:38.000 They didn't count their calories.

01:32:39.000 Now Disney is doing that fat chick film, where it's like, you can be morbidly obese, but it's okay.

01:32:45.000 It feels like we're dancing around a renaissance, but if not for the obesity crisis.

01:32:51.000 It's all these distractions, because we have to relearn all these basic things we used to know and be able to do innately, you know, just be healthy.

01:32:57.000 Now it's like, this is an active thing we have to do to be healthy.

01:33:00.000 They call it organic food.

01:33:01.000 Organic means carbon-based.

01:33:03.000 All food is organic.

01:33:04.000 But they created a special word for what food is supposed to be.

01:33:07.000 It's so weird.

01:33:07.000 I love it.

01:33:08.000 It's like, organic food means, like, food.

01:33:11.000 So we should actually, we should change this.

01:33:14.000 Chemical food and food.

01:33:16.000 So it's like, I got milk.

01:33:17.000 Is it chemical milk or is it milk?

01:33:19.000 Altered.

01:33:19.000 It's chemical.

01:33:20.000 Well, language is, that's all language.

01:33:22.000 It's language warfare.

01:33:23.000 I mean, even look at schools.

01:33:24.000 It's like public school, it's a state school.

01:33:25.000 Organic?

01:33:26.000 I like that you point out that organic means, like, carbon-based.

01:33:29.000 So think about what they're saying, though.

01:33:32.000 When it's not organic, they're basically saying it's like a petrochemical or something.

01:33:35.000 Like, it's not really food.

01:33:36.000 That's what we cook with. 0.99

01:33:36.000 We cook with oils that used to be used for mechanical and industrial purposes. 0.99

01:33:40.000 They just slightly twisted them up.

01:33:42.000 There was a whole incident that happened, I think, in Spain, Madrid, in the 80s or 70s, where they all got some toxic oil syndrome because the food that they were cooking with was like this canola oil that was basically meant for, like, Industrial engine oil.

01:33:56.000 You know what gutter oil is?

01:33:57.000 Oh, in China?

01:33:58.000 Yeah, where they scoop it out of the sewers, and then they filter it out, boil it, and cook with it, and then you eat it on the street?

01:34:04.000 That's pretty much what most of our food is being made in.

01:34:06.000 That's everything you have in a restaurant anyway, in the deep fryer.

01:34:09.000 That's exactly it.

01:34:09.000 They don't change that deep fryer every time they cook something, and it's not schools, it's indoctrination centers.

01:34:14.000 Thank you.

01:34:14.000 All right, we're gonna go to Super Chats.

01:34:15.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and become a member at TimCast.com.

01:34:23.000 All right, we're going to read some of these superchats.

01:34:26.000 Jeremiah Nobler says, the Paul Pelosi incident is yet another example of Democrats not knowing what they let out of the bag catering to their progressive wing.

01:34:34.000 Look, the guy was a Green Party dude, but he also was, you know, he posted Q stuff, he was a conspiracy guy, he had a pride flag. 0.82

01:34:43.000 You know, it is what it is.

01:34:44.000 Yeah, you let a summer of violence happen, that's going to affect everyone in the world.

01:34:48.000 Yep.

01:34:49.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:34:50.000 says, Tim Pool says, I don't know why anyone follows me on Twitter as he melts the fragile adult baby minds of cult leftists screeching about a Red Verify badge.

01:34:58.000 Bro, this is going to be fun and we are here for it. 0.70

01:35:00.000 Yeah, I tweeted, so I tweeted, That Elon should make a new verification badge, except it shows that you're a fascist and it's red.

01:35:08.000 Then I tweeted again when he bought it.

01:35:11.000 The same exact thing, but I said, except it shows that you're a communist and it's red and you can't remove it by choice.

01:35:16.000 And they're like losing their minds.

01:35:18.000 They're like, he wants to badge us when we do the fascist thing!

01:35:21.000 They should review a lot of the verification, the people that are verified and the whole verification process, because that's another, you know, blatant tool for manipulation.

01:35:30.000 Yeah, a verification originally was anyone could apply for it.

01:35:33.000 And it was just you submit your ID and they say, okay, you are who you say you are, you're good.

01:35:36.000 And then they decided to make it an endorsement.

01:35:39.000 And it was funny because they were like, we don't see it as an endorsement.

01:35:41.000 And then they literally took James O'Keefe's away.

01:35:44.000 It's like, what?

01:35:46.000 They wouldn't give one to Julian Assange?

01:35:48.000 And it's violating 230.

01:35:50.000 I mean, they're editorializing.

01:35:51.000 I mean, it's another example of it.

01:35:52.000 They're allowed to editorialize under 230.

01:35:54.000 They're not violating it.

01:35:55.000 Oh, true.

01:35:55.000 But then don't they lose protection?

01:35:59.000 Nope.

01:36:00.000 That's what conservatives want it to be.

01:36:03.000 But that's funny.

01:36:05.000 Section 230 basically says they can do whatever they want without liability.

01:36:10.000 It's insane.

01:36:11.000 So, repealing it's bad.

01:36:13.000 It should just say, if you engage in moderation of any kind, you lose immunity.

01:36:17.000 You take an editorial stance.

01:36:19.000 Alright, let's read some more.

01:36:21.000 St.

01:36:22.000 Miles, has anyone else noticed the U.S.

01:36:23.000 Capitol Police were on the scene?

01:36:25.000 That's right, they were.

01:36:28.000 NotDannyMcBride says, Ian, will you be my dad?

01:36:32.000 Sure.

01:36:33.000 I mean, metaphorically, yeah, man.

01:36:35.000 Metaphorically?

01:36:36.000 Let's do it together.

01:36:37.000 Pay it forward.

01:36:38.000 And then you be someone else's dad.

01:36:41.000 Okay, GoneFall says, you guys should play audio clip donations, but only members can, and those audio clips have to be reviewed before being shown on live.

01:36:50.000 We've thought about a lot of things like that, but it's like a different show.

01:36:52.000 It'd be like a Colin show almost, so we're making plans for expanding and doing something like that, which would be fun.

01:36:58.000 I think Colin's show would be really fun to do.

01:37:01.000 But we'll figure it out.

01:37:01.000 Maybe we'll do, like, Fridays.

01:37:03.000 Yeah, fun Friday show.

01:37:04.000 Yeah, we'll have, like, from 9 to 9.30, we'll do, like, pre-screened call-ins.

01:37:07.000 That'd be cool.

01:37:08.000 Like, recorded messages, and then we'll play them, and then we'll respond to them.

01:37:11.000 Like you said.

01:37:11.000 It's a good idea, just because you can't really do a live show.

01:37:15.000 You get someone on the air, and then they're like, I'm a businessman.

01:37:18.000 Then you press play, and they start saying a bunch of crazy things.

01:37:20.000 Yeah, totally.

01:37:22.000 Okay, okay.

01:37:22.000 Where are we at?

01:37:23.000 Where are we at?

01:37:25.000 Oh man, Doc Holliday says, for once someone else was hammered in the Pelosi's house.

01:37:29.000 Ooh, too soon!

01:37:32.000 That is clever, though.

01:37:33.000 It is clever.

01:37:34.000 But hey man, this guy got seriously hurt.

01:37:37.000 That's horrifying.

01:37:37.000 That scares me.

01:37:38.000 Much healing love, Paul.

01:37:40.000 Yeah, man.

01:37:40.000 Not okay.

01:37:42.000 You know, you don't gotta like somebody to be like, I hope the dude is okay.

01:37:45.000 That's how I feel about John Fetterman, man.

01:37:47.000 I almost started crying the other night.

01:37:48.000 Oh bro, when I was watching that debate, it was hurting watching that man.

01:37:54.000 It's so sad.

01:37:55.000 And now, it's just, here we go.

01:37:57.000 The left is saying Fetterman's up.

01:37:58.000 The right's saying Oz is up.

01:38:00.000 And I'm like, whatever, dude.

01:38:01.000 Vote.

01:38:02.000 Don't vote for the guy who can't talk.

01:38:03.000 Oz is bad for a while.

01:38:04.000 I don't like him.

01:38:05.000 He's not that bad.

01:38:07.000 It's just, it's kind of cringe.

01:38:08.000 We could have done better.

01:38:10.000 But, just, Fetterman is just, it's not fair, man.

01:38:13.000 It's unfit, man.

01:38:14.000 Gotta rest.

01:38:15.000 Yeah, dude.

01:38:15.000 It's sad.

01:38:16.000 Recover.

01:38:18.000 Hudson Bodry says, long time listener, first live stream and super chatter.

01:38:22.000 Listen to Timcast on Spotify every day at work.

01:38:24.000 Huge question.

01:38:24.000 When is Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:38:26.000 coming on the show?

01:38:27.000 Good question.

01:38:27.000 He's certainly bought and paid his way here already.

01:38:31.000 Several times around.

01:38:31.000 We'll have to, you know, maybe some people suggested we do like a fan episode and we bring on a handful of people and that are like the core fans that are super chatting all the time and stuff.

01:38:40.000 I think it's a good idea.

01:38:41.000 We'll figure something out.

01:38:42.000 We're also big fans of Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:38:44.000 because he super chats all the time and he has good super chats and we like reading them.

01:38:49.000 Oh man, some of these, there's a lot of, a lot of these jokes about getting hammered.

01:38:57.000 Jeffrey Grajic says the hammer was Paul Pelosi's hammer.

01:39:00.000 The guy took away from Pelosi.

01:39:01.000 Yes, right.

01:39:02.000 I think that's, I think that's, that's what I heard.

01:39:04.000 Interesting.

01:39:05.000 He grabbed the hammer and the guy got it from him and started hitting him with it.

01:39:06.000 Oh my gosh.

01:39:08.000 Yeah, it's crazy, dude.

01:39:10.000 Pinochet's helicopter tour saying Speaker's house unguarded is pretty sus, just saying.

01:39:15.000 I don't disagree.

01:39:18.000 Come on.

01:39:18.000 All right.

01:39:19.000 Amos Moses says, when are you having your fellow shirake on? 1.00

01:39:23.000 You know Mr. West, Mr. Fresh by himself.

01:39:25.000 He's so impressed.

01:39:26.000 Did you even see the test?

01:39:28.000 You got D's MF Rosie Perez.

01:39:30.000 Good morning.

01:39:31.000 I have no idea what that means.

01:39:32.000 It's a line from his tracks.

01:39:33.000 From what?

01:39:34.000 From one of his tracks.

01:39:35.000 I forget which one now.

01:39:35.000 Whose tracks?

01:39:36.000 Kanye West.

01:39:37.000 Oh, Kanye.

01:39:38.000 Should we have Kanye on?

01:39:39.000 That's the question.

01:39:41.000 Yes.

01:39:42.000 I just don't have any contact for Kanye West.

01:39:44.000 Kanye, I'd love to talk to you about stuff.

01:39:45.000 That'd be fantastic.

01:39:46.000 I would love to have him on the show, but I've reached out to a couple people.

01:39:51.000 No response.

01:39:52.000 It's like, how do you get in touch with Kanye West?

01:39:55.000 You know what I mean?

01:39:56.000 I don't know.

01:39:57.000 Kanye call me?

01:39:58.000 I have no idea.

01:40:00.000 I've tweeted at Elon Musk several times.

01:40:03.000 He responds to some people.

01:40:05.000 It'd be great to have Elon on the show.

01:40:06.000 What's the email if Kanye would want to reach out to you?

01:40:11.000 Which booking?

01:40:12.000 Is it like a booking email?

01:40:13.000 No.

01:40:15.000 I don't know, man.

01:40:16.000 That's probably why.

01:40:16.000 Have your people call my people or whatever?

01:40:20.000 Yeah, he'd readjust it if he wants.

01:40:21.000 He knows how to do it, so.

01:40:23.000 I think it'd be awesome to have Elon on.

01:40:24.000 Yeah.

01:40:25.000 I mean, Kanye.

01:40:26.000 Elon, too!

01:40:27.000 Both, both.

01:40:27.000 Yeah, right now.

01:40:28.000 But for right now, Kanye is the guy to talk to.

01:40:30.000 And I'm not, you know, I'm not super interested in actually talking to him about His tweets or whatever, because I'm like, okay, okay, we get it.

01:40:39.000 Like it's been talked about a lot.

01:40:40.000 I'd actually be interested in talking to him about business.

01:40:42.000 Yeah.

01:40:43.000 And, uh, you know, he mentioned that he's a billionaire, but they never call him a billionaire.

01:40:45.000 They call him a rapper.

01:40:47.000 Now he's, now, now he's saying he lost $2 billion overnight.

01:40:50.000 I'm interested to hear about his business.

01:40:53.000 Like, and, and I'm sure a lot of people want to hear that stuff too, but the politics of a lot of it would be interesting to talk about.

01:40:59.000 I like what he does, what he's doing with schools.

01:41:01.000 Yeah.

01:41:01.000 Reinventing the education system.

01:41:04.000 Yeah.

01:41:04.000 Yup.

01:41:06.000 Okay, let's grab some more soup.

01:41:07.000 A lot of hammer jokes.

01:41:10.000 A lot of hammer jokes!

01:41:11.000 That's right, they drink a lot.

01:41:13.000 Yeah, true.

01:41:14.000 They certainly do.

01:41:16.000 All right, all right.

01:41:17.000 Terry Boyd says, OMG, I am a 62-year-old nudist, longtime avid follower and listener of Timcast and a conservative. 0.92

01:41:24.000 Please do not associate nudists with lunatics.

01:41:28.000 Fair point, fair point.

01:41:29.000 How often are you nude?

01:41:30.000 I gotta know.

01:41:31.000 I'd imagine all the time.

01:41:32.000 Wow.

01:41:33.000 But like, Don't you want to be warm, you know?

01:41:37.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:41:38.000 Ian's wearing a coat and a scarf.

01:41:39.000 And I feel great.

01:41:41.000 It doesn't seem like a sustainable lifestyle.

01:41:43.000 And, you know, what if, like, you're going out and you're worried about, I don't know, brigands and bandits slashing you so you have to wear thick leathers as you carry your wares from town to town?

01:41:52.000 Brambles and the like.

01:41:53.000 How do they go on dates?

01:41:54.000 How do they do dates?

01:41:55.000 It's a lot of questions.

01:41:57.000 Yeah.

01:41:58.000 Well, it's actually not.

01:41:59.000 You know, it's funny because Elon was like, comedy is allowed again, but then he said, but I didn't change any rules.

01:42:02.000 people in decline from there.

01:42:04.000 Also, free speeches back on Twitter.

01:42:06.000 Love y'all.

01:42:07.000 Well, it's actually not.

01:42:08.000 You know, it's funny because Elon was like, comedy is allowed again, but then he said,

01:42:11.000 but I didn't change any rules.

01:42:12.000 It's like, okay, so it's not.

01:42:15.000 But nine billion.

01:42:17.000 It's already declining.

01:42:19.000 I wonder where... Is he saying that's the cap?

01:42:21.000 The scientific models were saying that it's going to be going up from 7 billion to 9 billion, and then naturally going down.

01:42:27.000 But now, with such... I forgot the explanation to it, but that's what all the graphs were predicting.

01:42:35.000 But now, with a depopulation agenda, I think that number is not going to be reached.

01:42:39.000 9 billion.

01:42:41.000 9 billion, sorry.

01:42:44.000 I've seen those and my thought process is regardless of... that basically means people don't have kids.

01:42:53.000 So it's like at a certain point people don't have kids.

01:42:55.000 Why?

01:42:56.000 And then what happens if people aren't having kids?

01:42:58.000 Just some people are having kids?

01:42:59.000 I don't know.

01:43:00.000 It sounds weird.

01:43:00.000 And who gets to choose?

01:43:02.000 And you need to consider it's not just like everyone stops having kids, it's for cultural reasons, the loss of children will be centered in certain areas.

01:43:11.000 So it may actually be that in urban centers population collapses, but in rural areas they're more likely to grow, which makes sense considering everything we've seen already.

01:43:19.000 If those models are correct, the population expansion would primarily be in Africa, where population growth is still substantially higher than in other parts of the world.

01:43:27.000 And that's the history of human civilization.

01:43:29.000 The cities collapse first, then the hill people and the country people come in and rebuild it from the ashes. 1.00

01:43:35.000 The Pew Research Center is saying mainly because people are going to be having less children, and this is according to their research.

01:43:41.000 But they never say is it because they want to have less children or they can't have more children for financial, economic, or other reasons.

01:43:47.000 Yeah.

01:43:48.000 Simulation 115 says, Tim, if you do 3 p.m.

01:43:51.000 solo live streams on Fridays, why don't you invite a single guest through video call to discuss the topic?

01:43:55.000 Also, guest idea, Shad Brooks.

01:43:57.000 He is an Aussie creator that is building a Star Wars alternative.

01:44:03.000 Doing guests is difficult, and even if I—so I did a live stream today instead of my normal recorded segment, And it was because the news was rapidly changing.

01:44:11.000 It was initially reported Twitter employees were fired, then I started recording, and then like, a few minutes in, breaking news, we were hoaxed, it's a fake story.

01:44:19.000 And so I was like, I'll just start a livestream.

01:44:21.000 But the segment's supposed to be just discussing, you know, monologuing through the news.

01:44:26.000 Doing a guest thing would be very similar to this and it would be hard to coordinate and so I don't know but I might actually do Fridays on youtube.com slash Timcast 3 p.m.

01:44:36.000 Live for like 30 to 40 minutes because I it's it's a lot easier and honestly, it's like easier work Were you doing super chats?

01:44:42.000 Yeah, that's awesome.

01:44:44.000 What was it fun talking to the crowd and everything?

01:44:46.000 yeah, but I only did a few super chats because the goal is to like talk about everything for a half an hour and then be done and for the podcast on iTunes and Spotify for the Tim Pool Daily Show.

01:44:54.000 So that's two podcasts.

01:44:55.000 There's TimCast IRL Conversations and Tim Pool Daily Show monologuing.

01:44:59.000 I found that one of the things about social media and working with a live audience is that if you allow yourself to get derailed by the audience and start responding with the audience, the whole show just becomes about that instead of the message that you're intending to, which is why they're there in the first place is for your message.

01:45:13.000 That's why I hold super chats till the end.

01:45:15.000 So that we can do our thing.

01:45:16.000 And then on Friday, I've done two of them now with Roe v. Wade being overturned and then the Elon Musk stuff was just rapidly changing.

01:45:22.000 So I might do Friday live streams just because Friday is a weak news day as it is.

01:45:28.000 People want to go out and do stuff.

01:45:31.000 They don't want to be at work.

01:45:33.000 They don't want to be listening to the politics.

01:45:34.000 They want to go out and party.

01:45:35.000 Like, Friday nights is what happens.

01:45:38.000 Okay, where we at?

01:45:39.000 A lot of people saying drunk drunk drunk drunk drunk drunk.

01:45:42.000 Okay, drunk drunk drunk.

01:45:43.000 Jerry Murphy says, I'm an amateur stand-up comic and was wondering if you are looking to hire anyone that may help write comedy skits or possibly write humorous news articles.

01:45:52.000 Yes, but it's a bottleneck.

01:45:56.000 Hiring is a bottleneck.

01:45:57.000 It's very difficult to do.

01:45:58.000 You gotta get stuff online, get your comedy out there so that it can be seen by people that work with Tim or that know Tim.

01:46:04.000 And then they'll be like, Tim, look at this.

01:46:06.000 And if he likes it, he'll be like, get that person out here.

01:46:09.000 Yeah, Carter made a video, Carter Banks, who does all our music.

01:46:12.000 He made a video being like, hey, I make music, hire me.

01:46:15.000 And then like six months later, we were like, hey, look at this.

01:46:17.000 And then I emailed him like, you want a job?

01:46:19.000 And he was like, oh, wow, that was a long time ago.

01:46:21.000 And then we hired him.

01:46:22.000 And he's fantastic.

01:46:23.000 He's amazing.

01:46:24.000 Yeah, a lot of people are like, hey, just let me do this.

01:46:26.000 And I'm like, I don't know if you can or will.

01:46:28.000 I don't know who you are.

01:46:29.000 I don't have time to look into you.

01:46:31.000 But if you want to work with me or Tim or anyone else, Show me what you got.

01:46:34.000 Show me what you can do.

01:46:36.000 Do it by yourself, and then naturally we'll find it.

01:46:40.000 But it's still not easy because it's like... Right now we're looking for cast castle stuff.

01:46:45.000 Because we want to get cast castle rolling.

01:46:51.000 We want to carve out the edges.

01:46:54.000 What's the phrase I'm trying to think of?

01:46:55.000 I can't remember.

01:46:56.000 I like it all.

01:46:57.000 We want to make the show better.

01:46:59.000 There you go.

01:47:00.000 Round it out?

01:47:01.000 Yeah, round it out.

01:47:01.000 Rounding out the show, yes.

01:47:02.000 Rounding out the show.

01:47:03.000 I'm looking for, like, graphic artists and, like, video meme makers, and I contact people.

01:47:07.000 I'm like, hey, are you available for hire?

01:47:09.000 A lot of them are like, no.

01:47:11.000 All right.

01:47:11.000 So.

01:47:12.000 Bobcat says, we've already seen leaked, uh, faked videos used in court.

01:47:15.000 Remember the Rittenhouse trial and the AI rendering or the editing software?

01:47:18.000 That's right.

01:47:19.000 That was crazy.

01:47:21.000 They were like, we use an algorithm to enhance the video.

01:47:23.000 It's true.

01:47:23.000 It's like, wow, dude, it's not.

01:47:27.000 T.J.

01:47:27.000 Reynman says Fetterman had a rally the day after the debate.

01:47:29.000 He yelled, "'Oz' supported pardons for January 6th.

01:47:32.000 Officers died that day." 0.75

01:47:34.000 An outright lie.

01:47:35.000 Infuriating.

01:47:36.000 That's right.

01:47:36.000 And they know they're lying.

01:47:38.000 Because, who cares?

01:47:39.000 They want power.

01:47:41.000 What do you do?

01:47:42.000 They just lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.

01:47:45.000 Charlie says Rittenhouse was almost convicted with a deepfake drone video because the prosecutor compressed a video that backed up Kyle's story.

01:47:52.000 Yeah.

01:47:53.000 And we saw his folder showing he had this software and stuff.

01:47:56.000 It was crazy.

01:47:58.000 Crazy corruption, man.

01:47:59.000 Jeez, dude. 0.90

01:47:59.000 I don't know what to say. 0.90

01:48:01.000 Should've been disbarred.

01:48:03.000 They never investigated him over that stuff.

01:48:05.000 They should've.

01:48:06.000 Got him on the stand and asked him, like, we're using this editing software, why did you have it?

01:48:10.000 It's a crazy story, dude.

01:48:13.000 Twisted Ninja says, remember in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial when the DA binger deliberately tried showing evidence on an iPad because the zoom showed what he wanted and got an expert to say interpolation doesn't change the video.

01:48:23.000 They are evil.

01:48:24.000 Yep.

01:48:25.000 And it does.

01:48:27.000 It has to fill in the gaps when you zoom in so a computer algorithm generates what they think is there.

01:48:33.000 You can't add pixels.

01:48:35.000 All right, all right.

01:48:38.000 Henry back to play says, instead of ads, I would pay three to five bucks a month for a blue check.

01:48:44.000 I mean, you get extra features when you're verified.

01:48:46.000 The edit, for instance.

01:48:47.000 Oh, that's Twitter blue.

01:48:48.000 That's for blue, yeah.

01:48:49.000 Yeah, verification allows you to, like, look at other verified posts, specifically, or something.

01:48:54.000 I don't know.

01:48:55.000 It's very low-level features, too.

01:48:57.000 I know.

01:48:58.000 It's really—are you verified?

01:48:59.000 No.

01:48:59.000 It's really easy to get verified, guys.

01:49:01.000 All you gotta do is get hired by a major international corporation that has connections with Twitter's HQ, who will make a phone call to the people they know there and tell them to verify you, and then you will be.

01:49:11.000 That's how I got verified.

01:49:12.000 Oh, that sounds easy, though.

01:49:13.000 Yeah.

01:49:13.000 Okay, good.

01:49:15.000 Before I worked at Vice, there were people asking Twitter, like, why wasn't I verified?

01:49:19.000 Like, activists were saying, hey, Tim Pool is in these magazines, he's in these shows, he's featured in these news articles, everyone's highlighting his work, every time he covers big stories, why isn't he being verified?

01:49:30.000 And Twitter never responded.

01:49:31.000 The point the activists were making is that I was not a corporate individual, I was independent, but I was at, like, trials and protests, and the media was all using my footage.

01:49:43.000 That's cause for verification, so that people know, hey, this is a guy that people know is a journalist who produces his content, and he's being featured widely.

01:49:49.000 We should let people know that this is, you know, who he says he is.

01:49:53.000 I got hired by Vice, and they went, oh, well, yeah, here, give me a second.

01:49:57.000 Got on the phone, and then they were like, oh, you're good.

01:50:00.000 That's how it works.

01:50:00.000 Terrified.

01:50:01.000 That's crazy.

01:50:02.000 That's right.

01:50:02.000 Not about what you know, it's who you know.

01:50:04.000 Always.

01:50:04.000 That's what they would say in the entertainment industry.

01:50:06.000 It's just a little bit.

01:50:08.000 True.

01:50:09.000 Sakharin says, unban everyone on Twitter and release a statement that all have been given a second chance.

01:50:15.000 Start fresh.

01:50:16.000 Fresh.

01:50:17.000 Yeah.

01:50:19.000 You know, maybe.

01:50:20.000 Rusty Shekelford says, y'all should have the United Utah Party candidate Jay McFarland on the show.

01:50:25.000 Could be pretty wild with him being a Liz Cheney apologist and all.

01:50:30.000 Oof.

01:50:31.000 She's a Democrat, though.

01:50:33.000 You know?

01:50:34.000 Alexandra Rose says, Hey Tim, will the rooster image be available as merch?

01:50:37.000 Maybe a shirt, sticker, or flag?

01:50:39.000 It is!

01:50:40.000 Go to TimCast.com, click Store, and you will see Stand Your Ground Rooster!

01:50:45.000 Roberto Jr.

01:50:46.000 There's posters, there's shirts, there's little flags.

01:50:50.000 And, uh, we're gonna sell them.

01:50:52.000 And we're gonna fly the flag, and I like it.

01:50:55.000 Cause roosters are great!

01:50:56.000 And it's my rooster, Roberto Jr.

01:50:58.000 Who, uh, I raised here at, uh, at the Cats' Castle.

01:51:02.000 Unlike Roberto, who was purchased from a farm.

01:51:05.000 Now, we love Roberto, okay?

01:51:06.000 But he's off at Cocktown, okay?

01:51:09.000 He's in charge over there.

01:51:10.000 And his son, Roberto Jr., we actually hatched along with Maggie and Bernie.

01:51:14.000 And then they jumped around the room and they were all small, pooping everywhere.

01:51:18.000 It was hilarious.

01:51:18.000 And now he's a big man, protecting a big flock.

01:51:22.000 So proud of him.

01:51:23.000 It's funny, I thought Roberto was a lady.

01:51:24.000 We got a bunch of hens. 0.99

01:51:25.000 It turned out one of them was a man, and then from there came the rest.

01:51:28.000 That's right!

01:51:29.000 And then we got, we got, uh, my brother went and bought four Jersey Giants.

01:51:33.000 One of them turned out to be a boy!

01:51:35.000 Because they try to cull him, but they don't always get it right.

01:51:38.000 So now we have a Jersey Giant rooster, which is going to be nuts because they're huge.

01:51:42.000 Very big.

01:51:43.000 Yeah, but the biggest rooster I think ever was a Brahma.

01:51:46.000 Like our good friend Sarah Avenberg, who is one of the chickens.

01:51:50.000 And he was like three and a half feet tall.

01:51:52.000 Looks like a raptor.

01:51:53.000 It's crazy.

01:51:53.000 It's a massive thing with these huge legs.

01:51:55.000 Did you look it up?

01:51:56.000 The biggest Brahma rooster, yeah.

01:51:58.000 The king of all poultry, the giant plush.

01:52:02.000 Yeah, but hey man, I'll say it again.

01:52:03.000 The noble rooster.

01:52:05.000 If there is a predator coming towards the flock, the rooster will make a sound, the hens will run, and he'll charge full speed at the predator, knowing he will die.

01:52:15.000 But if it means the girls get to run away and survive, he will do it.

01:52:18.000 Isn't one of the French national symbols a rooster?

01:52:21.000 Yes, it is.

01:52:22.000 And maybe that's... someone superchatted, I don't know where it is, and said that the national bird was almost the rooster.

01:52:28.000 And the turkey!

01:52:29.000 Ben Franklin wanted the turkey.

01:52:30.000 But they were all like, no, we're not that humble, Ben.

01:52:33.000 Let's do something a little more...

01:52:36.000 I don't like turkeys. 1.00

01:52:37.000 They're weird looking and they make stupid sounds. 1.00

01:52:39.000 Yeah, but when you look in their eyes... No. 1.00

01:52:41.000 Chickens are funny.

01:52:42.000 It's like looking into your grandmother's eyes.

01:52:43.000 Turkeys freak me out.

01:52:44.000 They're like aliens with a weird thing on their face and they're like... I think it's because they could eviscerate you, but they don't.

01:52:49.000 Great plumage, though.

01:52:50.000 They have great plumage.

01:52:52.000 And I don't know if people, a lot of people haven't seen wild turkeys.

01:52:55.000 They don't look like the cartoon turkeys.

01:52:56.000 No, not at all.

01:52:58.000 Like, so you'll see the turkeys outside and then they puff up and spread their butt feathers or whatever and then look like that picture, but then sometimes they compress.

01:53:06.000 Right.

01:53:06.000 It's like, oh, look at that.

01:53:08.000 Yeah, the ladies look compressed and they can fly too. 1.00

01:53:10.000 Yeah.

01:53:11.000 Yeah, turkeys fly. 1.00

01:53:13.000 We saw it, we were driving down the road near Antietam and a flock of turkeys launched in the air and flew away.

01:53:18.000 A flock of turkeys.

01:53:19.000 They can't fly too far, but they can fly.

01:53:22.000 They flew up and then flew into a tree somewhere.

01:53:25.000 Ryan Ball says, if the only thing Elon does is change Twitter's color from blue to pink, I'd be happy.

01:53:30.000 Watching the left lose their minds over something so meaningless would be priceless.

01:53:34.000 Agreed!

01:53:36.000 I agree.

01:53:38.000 Justine Jardine says, I want to be there when Trump's Twitter account is reactivated and unbeknownst to him, his phone makes a Twitter notification sound.

01:53:46.000 Can you imagine the look on his face, not to mention the temptation?

01:53:50.000 Trump will have to be on Twitter.

01:53:52.000 Will he come back?

01:53:53.000 He has to.

01:53:54.000 That's just it.

01:53:55.000 Hasn't he publicly proclaimed he wouldn't come back?

01:53:57.000 Yeah, he did.

01:53:58.000 I think a federation might be a better focus to get Truth Social and Twitter to be interoperable.

01:54:03.000 Trump is a wild card.

01:54:04.000 You never know what he's going to do.

01:54:05.000 Literally.

01:54:06.000 That's a fair point.

01:54:07.000 I mean, he has to be on Twitter, but he might be like, no, no, I won't do it.

01:54:14.000 It's good for him to be on Twitter.

01:54:15.000 It's a good feedback loop for him, and it keeps him grounded.

01:54:19.000 All right.

01:54:20.000 He's grounded.

01:54:22.000 It's just relative.

01:54:22.000 Grounded.

01:54:26.000 D.D.

01:54:27.000 Darius says, if Elon Musk unbanned the political, the media will call it election meddling.

01:54:32.000 Also, I have a book done, Blood Herring, and two on the way for a series.

01:54:37.000 Let's discuss publishing.

01:54:38.000 Perhaps, but we're currently jammed up.

01:54:41.000 We have a book coming out.

01:54:42.000 The Tales from the Inverted World book is coming out soon.

01:54:44.000 We're excited for that.

01:54:46.000 Would have liked to have gotten it out for Halloween, but it is what it is.

01:54:48.000 Ghosts of the Civil War is the book.

01:54:51.000 And you can watch the full show.

01:54:53.000 Season 2 is on TimCast.com.

01:54:55.000 Become a member.

01:54:57.000 It is... Shane Cashman went down to Georgia.

01:55:03.000 And he started investigating ghost stories and the lost Confederate gold, and it's a wild, gonzo journalism.

01:55:10.000 Hunter S. Thompson meets the X-Files.

01:55:12.000 It's really, really cool stuff.

01:55:13.000 Witches, UFOs, conspiracies, death threats.

01:55:17.000 Someone threatened to kill him, because they don't want people to know where the gold went.

01:55:23.000 When the surrender was happening at Apatomax, Apatomax?

01:55:26.000 How do you pronounce it?

01:55:27.000 Apomatix.

01:55:28.000 Apomatix!

01:55:29.000 Way off!

01:55:29.000 Yeah, that's right.

01:55:31.000 The gold was stored in a chest.

01:55:32.000 They raided it and took it and fled with it.

01:55:34.000 Wow.

01:55:35.000 So, look at me.

01:55:35.000 Something like that.

01:55:36.000 I don't know what I'm talking about.

01:55:37.000 But you can read the story and you'll figure it out because Shane did a good journalism there.

01:55:43.000 All right.

01:55:44.000 Synthetic Greed says, maybe the meetings is either he's trying to limit the amount of leftists that will leave or by the end he will set in stone how to moderate.

01:55:53.000 Some people pointed out that the Diverse Moderation Council is basically him saying to bring conservatives in, which makes sense. 0.94

01:56:00.000 He wouldn't need to add leftists to a company that's overwhelmingly leftist.

01:56:03.000 He needs to hire independents, libertarians, conservatives.

01:56:06.000 But, like, what do you do?

01:56:07.000 Because if he hires, like, a couple, like, conservative guys, the libertarians are going to be like, come on, dude.

01:56:13.000 You know, it's like, how do you... I don't know, man.

01:56:18.000 Alright, alright.

01:56:19.000 Let's see.

01:56:20.000 Evan Suarez has congrats Tim on enabling violence on Paul Pelosi.

01:56:24.000 The guy was QAnon and a Trumpy.

01:56:26.000 Probably listened to you, Tim.

01:56:30.000 Thanks for your free money.

01:56:32.000 He was registered with the Green Party and voted Green Party.

01:56:35.000 Just because he's anti-government doesn't make him inherently right or whatever.

01:56:39.000 But if he's Green Party, that is a left position.

01:56:42.000 If someone is a Democrat and is complaining about Democrats and they're saying, we want the Democratic Party to be better, but we don't like it, and they believe the government's corrupt, they're still a Democrat.

01:56:49.000 But we made that point because we believe in nuance. 0.93

01:56:52.000 That's why we mentioned that the guy was just kind of crazy and all over the place. 0.85

01:56:56.000 And it's what we've seen from a lot of these crazies. 0.86

01:56:59.000 It is what it is.

01:56:59.000 It won't matter, though, because, like you are saying, he was a QAnon Trumpy.

01:57:03.000 That is what it is.

01:57:04.000 And we put leftist because he was Green Party.

01:57:07.000 What are you gonna do about it?

01:57:10.000 All right, William Wallace Bauer D. Berkhoven, the third.

01:57:14.000 Solution for Elon is to use standing legal precedent from when Trump blocked the lady trolling him.

01:57:20.000 They ruled his tweets so important he couldn't block anyone.

01:57:22.000 God will save us regardless.

01:57:24.000 Yeah, you can do that and be like, we have to restore the public forum.

01:57:27.000 So, you know, we'll see.

01:57:30.000 Justin Mondesire says, 30 million.

01:57:33.000 I support my family on more than 50k a year.

01:57:37.000 Most people probably do.

01:57:38.000 I think that's like the median wage.

01:57:40.000 That's why I'm just saying, like, it is shocking to me when I see Trevor Noah make 16 million dollars.

01:57:45.000 It's just absolutely crazy.

01:57:46.000 That's money that just goes to him into his pocket, and I'm like, what does he do with that?

01:57:51.000 You know, $30 million you could not spend, like, you could not reasonably spend it.

01:57:57.000 If you have that kind of money, you're probably just like, you hired a company to manage your money for you.

01:58:01.000 You're at the point where you're so rich, you're like, you go to Schwab or something, and you're like, here's money, I don't know how to figure it out.

01:58:06.000 You give me a 4.2% return on my investment, but that don't, I mean, I'm not your money marketer, but That's BlackRock.

01:58:13.000 If you give money to that, you're giving money to BlackRock.

01:58:15.000 So be aware.

01:58:16.000 Start a company.

01:58:17.000 You basically can buy anything you want, whenever, wherever.

01:58:20.000 There is no service.

01:58:23.000 There is no service, like basic service, that you cannot have And you don't even need to be that rich to get.

01:58:30.000 Like the most expensive hotels, you go to New York City, we did a really cool party once in New York after an event, and it was like I think 10 grand for this luxury suite to have like a bunch of people in it having dinner and stuff.

01:58:43.000 $10,000, it was like 35-40 people, we had a bunch of food and drinks, and it was for an event.

01:58:49.000 10 grand.

01:58:50.000 Very, very expensive.

01:58:51.000 If you're making 16 million a year, you're farting that.

01:58:54.000 You don't even think twice.

01:58:55.000 Like, what do you do with that money?

01:58:57.000 That's, it's just, it's just mind, it's crazy to me.

01:58:59.000 Mostly, look, if you, if you run a successful business and you work really, really hard, oh, I get it.

01:59:04.000 But if you're like a dude who can't get an edit button done in a year on a failing company that somehow, I just, it's mind, it's mind blowing to me.

01:59:12.000 I'd rather the homeless guy had the money.

01:59:13.000 At least he might do something funny, like make a pie machine or something, or I don't know, buy himself an infinity pool.

01:59:20.000 Alright.

01:59:21.000 So LayCucumberLime says, okay Tim, fine, I got you.

01:59:25.000 2022 remake of the old Brewster's Millions.

01:59:27.000 What was that?

01:59:28.000 It was like a dollar bet or something?

01:59:29.000 What was Brewster's Millions?

01:59:31.000 Sounds familiar, I don't remember what it is though.

01:59:36.000 It was a movie from 1985, American comedy film directed by Walter Hill, stars Richard Pryor and John Candy.

01:59:42.000 Alright, I'm sold.

01:59:43.000 What's it about?

01:59:44.000 It was like they made a bet or something?

01:59:47.000 Something about a minor league baseball player must spend $30 million in 30 days in order to inherit $300 million.

01:59:54.000 Yeah.

01:59:55.000 Oh wow.

01:59:55.000 He's not allowed to own any assets, destroy the money, gift it, give it away.

01:59:59.000 The definition, the description goes on.

02:00:01.000 Right up the alley.

02:00:02.000 Brewster's millions.

02:00:03.000 What would you do with it?

02:00:05.000 Yeah, so you could spend the money by buying property like crazy, but then people don't understand, you gotta manage the property.

02:00:11.000 He's also not allowed to tell anyone about the deal.

02:00:14.000 Right.

02:00:16.000 $30 million in 1985?

02:00:17.000 Yeah.

02:00:19.000 That's even crazier.

02:00:20.000 A lot of money.

02:00:21.000 And so one thing you could do is you could, I mean, you can't own assets?

02:00:26.000 Yeah, no assets.

02:00:27.000 My recommendation, go to an ad agency and say, I've got a $30 million budget for the month and I wanna spend it all right now.

02:00:32.000 And they would say, we got you.

02:00:34.000 Because if you're looking at putting up billboards in the entirety across the country, you retain nothing from that, and you can easily spend it all if you're hitting every major market.

02:00:43.000 Yep.

02:00:44.000 Yeah, the movie would fail today because you just put it into Facebook ads or something.

02:00:48.000 That's a good point.

02:00:49.000 Put it on Twitter, 30 million.

02:00:51.000 All anyone sees is your face everywhere, but the money's gone.

02:00:56.000 Yeah.

02:00:56.000 Maybe they make you spend it over time so you couldn't get it all spent right away.

02:01:00.000 I don't know.

02:01:01.000 They do put those throttles on a lot of ad spending. 0.77

02:01:03.000 Particularly for political spending.

02:01:05.000 All right, last super chat from Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

02:01:07.000 He says, holy moly, those fart sounds to that weirdo super chat.

02:01:10.000 That's right!
