Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Leftist Democrat Says SUCK IT UP After Spending $70k On Private Police w-FreedomToons

00:00:00.000 I'm gonna go ahead and get started.

00:00:17.000 Last night we had a scheduling error and the show ended up getting cancelled but it's alright because it's Lydia's birthday so she got the night off.

00:00:23.000 Happy birthday.

00:00:23.000 I did.

00:00:24.000 I think I appreciate that.

00:00:24.000 Thank you guys.

00:00:25.000 I really appreciate that.

00:00:26.000 My co-workers threw me a party.

00:00:27.000 This is my favorite gift that I got.

00:00:29.000 It's by Ibram X Kendi.

00:00:30.000 It's a good one.

00:00:31.000 It's called Stamped for Kids and I'm going to read it and get back to you guys.

00:00:34.000 Yeah, it's anti-racism for children.

00:00:36.000 That's right, yeah.

00:00:37.000 Because there's not enough critical race applied principles in our schools.

00:00:41.000 So it's a good thing that Ibram has written a book for children.

00:00:44.000 Maybe, you know, that's an important thing we should do.

00:00:47.000 It's like Communist for Kids, where you spell it with a K, right?

00:00:49.000 Yeah, it's really cute.

00:00:50.000 I'm surprised they're not publishing the manifesto with pop-up book versions yet, honestly.

00:00:55.000 It'd be augmented reality.

00:00:58.000 But I know, Liz, I know you want to have kids and whatnot.

00:01:00.000 It'll be good for you to have that book in your arsenal for them.

00:01:02.000 Yeah, I'm excited.

00:01:03.000 I'm going to go through it and, like, make notes and everything will be good.

00:01:05.000 Good for you. 1.00

00:01:06.000 Suck it up, Seamus. 1.00

00:01:07.000 What? 0.99

00:01:08.000 If I want to defund the police and then spend $70,000 on private security for myself, I'm gonna do it, and I'll spend $200,000 if I have to.

00:01:16.000 You know why?

00:01:16.000 Because I'm important.

00:01:18.000 Because I'm doing the hard work.

00:01:20.000 I'm the one, the only one, who can save these people.

00:01:24.000 What stage of capitalism is this?

00:01:26.000 Are you kidding?

00:01:27.000 They're defunding the police and paying tens of thousands for their own private security?

00:01:31.000 Seamus, Seamus.

00:01:32.000 My theatrics may have been only slightly exaggerated.

00:01:34.000 You actually, I thought you were serious.

00:01:37.000 That is almost a verbatim quote from Cori Bush.

00:01:40.000 She is a progressive.

00:01:41.000 She was sleeping on the steps at the Capitol because of the eviction moratorium, but she actually went on this tirade where she was like, I'm doing the work, and I have threats, so I will spend up to $200,000 if I have to.

00:01:53.000 And no one else has ever had their life threatened besides an elected official who could afford private security.

00:01:59.000 So awesome.

00:01:59.000 With campaign funds.

00:02:01.000 I'm glad she's defunding the police.

00:02:02.000 Isn't she part of the squad?

00:02:03.000 Isn't she one of these socialists?

00:02:05.000 I don't know if she's a socialist.

00:02:06.000 I don't know if she's a socialist, all right.

00:02:07.000 But she's a squad member.

00:02:08.000 But here's the thing.

00:02:09.000 Well, I want to educate her, because I don't know if you know this, but I'm a socialist, Tim.

00:02:12.000 Are you?

00:02:13.000 Yes.

00:02:13.000 Good.

00:02:14.000 I think that it's wrong that the ultra-wealthy should be the only people with access to security.

00:02:20.000 I believe we should universalize security by having people's taxes fined like security guards, but for the whole public.

00:02:30.000 So you're saying universal private security?

00:02:33.000 I like that.

00:02:33.000 A single-payer private security system.

00:02:37.000 And I think some of these soc-dems and socialists might be interested in something like that.

00:02:42.000 I like that.

00:02:43.000 I don't know, that's a hard sell.

00:02:44.000 You know, they're very much about getting...

00:02:45.000 So only the wealthy should have security, Tim?

00:02:49.000 Apparently that's their plan.

00:02:50.000 Oh no, no, no, no, Seamus, you misunderstand.

00:02:52.000 They're staunch defenders of the Second Amendment.

00:02:55.000 Oh no.

00:02:56.000 That's right.

00:02:57.000 Yeah, that's right. 0.93

00:02:59.000 Now, of course, I'm being a little bit silly here.

00:03:01.000 Private security is one of the things, or I shouldn't say private security, but security is one of the things that it's reasonable for the state to provide.

00:03:06.000 So we don't call that socialism, but it's funny to me how the government's supposed to fund everything except for the basic things that it actually is supposed to fund, like the police.

00:03:15.000 We got a bunch of other stories.

00:03:15.000 We got this story.

00:03:17.000 Israel is now moving to three COVID shots.

00:03:20.000 Three?

00:03:20.000 Three.

00:03:21.000 A third one?

00:03:22.000 Yeah, there's some breaking news I haven't been able to verify yet.

00:03:24.000 I don't speak Hebrew.

00:03:26.000 And there's a report that came out from Israel's Channel 13.

00:03:29.000 I could not verify the translation because I've only just seen it.

00:03:32.000 It came out earlier today.

00:03:33.000 He only just started Hebrew school.

00:03:35.000 But I can tell you that there's a report saying that the infection rates are going way, way up in Israel.

00:03:42.000 Hospitalizations are way up.

00:03:44.000 And they're contemplating another hard lockdown.

00:03:46.000 But they're gonna try a third COVID shot to see if that works.

00:03:50.000 And now Dr. Fauci has said they are rushing for approval.

00:03:54.000 For a third shot for those that are immunocompromised or weakened.

00:03:59.000 So, look, based on that, based on Joe Biden's illegal eviction moratorium that he put into place in the Supreme Court that you can't do it, I think whether or not there's going to be another lockdown, the rule of law was just smacked with a sledgehammer.

00:04:12.000 Supreme Court's like, you do not have the authority to demand people give their property to somebody else.

00:04:16.000 And Joe Biden went, I'm gonna do it anyway!

00:04:18.000 And he did, so that's where we are.

00:04:20.000 Was there, like, a property tax moratorium?

00:04:23.000 Are these landlords who own property no longer required to fulfill their obligation to give the government money?

00:04:28.000 Don't say landlord, say retiree.

00:04:30.000 Say retiree.

00:04:31.000 Yeah, the 60-year-olds who put their retirement funds into, like, a two-flat and rent out a portion of it and that's their retirement.

00:04:39.000 Yeah, those are the people getting hit by this.

00:04:41.000 Yeah, well, that's the thing.

00:04:42.000 Landlord has become this political cuss word, but most landlords are not uber-wealthy people.

00:04:47.000 They're middle class or they're retirees.

00:04:50.000 This is a way they supplement their income or try to make a living for themselves.

00:04:53.000 Fixed income.

00:04:53.000 Yeah.

00:04:54.000 So we're going to talk about all that.

00:04:55.000 Obviously, Seamus is here.

00:04:56.000 He's talking about Seamus stuff.

00:04:56.000 Yes, I am.

00:04:57.000 Seamus, Freedom Tunes.

00:04:59.000 I run this channel called Freedom Tunes, T-O-O-N-S, YouTube.com slash Freedom Tunes.

00:05:02.000 We're going to be uploading a cartoon tomorrow about good old Dr. Fauci, as a matter of fact.

00:05:06.000 Ooh, droplets!

00:05:08.000 Droplets if you want to go over there and check that subscribe and check that out tomorrow.

00:05:12.000 This is the most martial of laws I've ever experienced in the United States.

00:05:16.000 Forty years or something.

00:05:17.000 I've never seen it to the point where it's just they just override the Supreme Court.

00:05:22.000 And it's kind of weird.

00:05:23.000 And I know that like they did during the Spanish flu, you know, like during times of disease has been a notable time for governments to take martial law action.

00:05:29.000 But I wasn't expecting it.

00:05:30.000 It was different.

00:05:31.000 It was different back when you had sort of a consensus, when you had culture and community and everyone kind of agreed.

00:05:36.000 Right, now you have the internet and all this different conflicting data, and it's driving people crazy and making people second-guess things.

00:05:41.000 It's really a weird time.

00:05:42.000 Well, and also, I don't know if I'm gonna get in trouble for saying this, but this is not exactly the same as the Spanish flu in terms of deadliness.

00:05:48.000 As far as we can tell, yeah, a lot of that was sanitary.

00:05:50.000 They didn't have a lot of what we have now.

00:05:53.000 The Spanish flu is almost the exact reverse because it caused your immune system to turn on your body. 0.77

00:05:59.000 So younger people with healthier immune systems were more likely to die of it.

00:06:02.000 And in this case, COVID, I think it's something like 80% of COVID deaths are people above the age of 65.

00:06:06.000 So it's just, it's much more likely, it's much more likely to affect the elderly, whereas the Spanish flu is much more likely to affect younger, healthier people.

00:06:13.000 I think, and to clarify too, I think the booster shots in Israel are for people over 60.

00:06:17.000 Interesting.

00:06:18.000 But we got Lydia pressing buttons. 1.00

00:06:19.000 I am here in the corner pushing buttons.

00:06:20.000 It is, in fact, my birthday.

00:06:21.000 Thank you guys for joining me on my birthday.

00:06:23.000 It's a wonderful birthday.

00:06:24.000 Happy birthday!

00:06:25.000 I appreciate everyone in my life.

00:06:26.000 We hit a piñata earlier.

00:06:27.000 Yeah, Seamus freaking destroyed that piñata.

00:06:32.000 It was really, really fun.

00:06:33.000 I appreciate that.

00:06:34.000 Cool.

00:06:35.000 I missed that.

00:06:36.000 What'd you hit it with?

00:06:38.000 A bat.

00:06:39.000 There are some I just put my dukes up dude. I'm a blindfolded me and I started swinging and I broke

00:06:44.000 They're like you broke the pinata. I was like pinata Did you go on the trampoline? I did not know I have a check

00:06:49.000 All right ladies and gentlemen before we get started head over to

00:06:53.000 teamcast comm become a member to get access to exclusive members only segments in

00:06:56.000 The Tim cast IRL podcast as well as an ad free experience and you'll be supporting our fierce and independent

00:07:00.000 journalists. That's right I'll slow down a little bit.

00:07:02.000 That was good, though.

00:07:03.000 That was very clear.

00:07:04.000 Honestly, I think I'm gonna go do it.

00:07:06.000 Like the Micro Machines guy.

00:07:08.000 I should do those Radiohead commercials, you know, where it's like... Go to TimGuess.com, become a member, and you will support our work.

00:07:13.000 We got some two new shows.

00:07:14.000 We got the D&D show, we got the Mystery show, and we're also launching a non-profit to do fact-checking.

00:07:19.000 I talked about this like a year ago.

00:07:21.000 Where we're gonna take a random sampling of articles from a website from the past three months and then do a journalistic ethics check and then give them a score like X out of 100.

00:07:28.000 So it'll be really interesting to see like New York Times getting like a 60 out of 100 or something.

00:07:33.000 And then like HuffPost will get like a 3 out of 100.

00:07:35.000 I'm not even kidding because all their pieces are opinion pieces and they don't label them as opinion, which means they'll probably get a 0 out of 100.

00:07:42.000 No joke.

00:07:43.000 You gotta put opinion on an opinion piece.

00:07:44.000 It's one of the standard journalistic ethics.

00:07:46.000 So anyway, go to TeamCase.com.

00:07:48.000 Sign up, smash the like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and let's talk about what's happening with good old Cori Bush.

00:07:54.000 My friends, welcome to the show. 0.99

00:07:56.000 Suck it up. 0.99

00:07:57.000 Cori Bush defends hiring private security guards while demanding America defund police. 0.99

00:08:04.000 This is brilliant.

00:08:04.000 She said, I'm going to make sure that I have security because I know I Man, I could just emphasize all the I's.

00:08:11.000 Have had attempts on my life, and I have too much work to do.

00:08:16.000 There are too many people that need help right now for me to allow that.

00:08:19.000 Wow.

00:08:19.000 That is someone who should just not be given any more power in any other context for the rest of their life.

00:08:23.000 Like, they have already fallen into the perfect totalitarian mindset.

00:08:26.000 I'm more important than the average person, so a different set of rules should apply to me.

00:08:30.000 Check it out.

00:08:31.000 In her one sentence, she says, I'm going to make sure that I have security because I know I had attempts on my life and I have too much, too much work to do.

00:08:42.000 There are too many people that need help right now for me to a seven in one sentence.

00:08:45.000 Wow.

00:08:46.000 Incredible.

00:08:47.000 That is really fantastic.

00:08:49.000 Yeah.

00:08:50.000 And I'm someone who says I a lot as well, but I'm impressed.

00:08:53.000 Timcast IRL.

00:08:54.000 It's in the name.

00:08:55.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:08:56.000 She says, so if I end up spending $200,000, if I spend 10 more dollars on it, you know what?

00:09:03.000 I get to be here to do the work, she added, so suck it up. 0.74

00:09:05.000 Defunding the police has to happen.

00:09:07.000 We need to defund the police and put that money into social safety nets.

00:09:10.000 Okay, to be fair, she said we in that sentence.

00:09:12.000 Well, she said we, so that means she's a woman of the people, I'm convinced.

00:09:15.000 Yeah, I'm absolutely convinced.

00:09:17.000 I mean, it's the perfect example of moral licensing.

00:09:20.000 Right.

00:09:21.000 Can anybody question the squad on their stance on guns?

00:09:23.000 I think that's a really important thing, because the left, like real leftists, they like guns.

00:09:27.000 They like guns, yes.

00:09:29.000 And so their support base are progressives.

00:09:33.000 What will the progressives think?

00:09:34.000 Like, where are they at on this one?

00:09:35.000 I don't think anyone's ever been like, Ocasio-Cortez, how do you feel about guns?

00:09:37.000 Well, here's the thing.

00:09:38.000 I mean, gun control is a losing issue for the left. 0.84

00:09:40.000 So I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of their base is very much in favor of guns and would be against the gun restrictions that the more moderate Democrats tend to push for.

00:09:48.000 I think it's establishment Democrats that are anti-gun.

00:09:51.000 Leftists are pro-gun.

00:09:52.000 I think a good portion of union Democrat working guys, if they still exist, are pro-gun.

00:10:01.000 The days of ballistic fabrication have evolved.

00:10:04.000 You can 3D print weaponry now that didn't exist 20 years ago.

00:10:08.000 The whole idea of legislating illegality to something that people can do in their house in secrecy is insane.

00:10:15.000 You can make meth in your house in secrecy.

00:10:20.000 Physically, but not legally.

00:10:25.000 Clearly we can legislate things you can make in your house, but I agree it makes it a lot more difficult and it's going to be a massive uphill battle.

00:10:30.000 For the people who want to regulate guns, not only because, as you said, you can make these things in your house and the technology's improving, but because the vast majority of the public isn't on board with that agenda.

00:10:39.000 Did you ever hear about that guy who made a radiation death ray in his garage?

00:10:43.000 And he, like, irradiated his whole neighborhood.

00:10:45.000 And so the government found out because they were getting this crazy, like, really intense reading.

00:10:49.000 And he had taken a bunch of common, like, radioactive materials, because they exist all over the place, and he, like, made a big cluster of it, and then he put it in, like, I could be getting this story wrong, so someone fact me, because I just read it on the internet somewhere.

00:11:01.000 But he created, like, a lead casing with a hole, and then he put all of this radioactive material in it, and it focused the radiation out of it.

00:11:09.000 And so apparently they came and, like, shut him down.

00:11:11.000 He got offered a job, but then kept doing illegal stuff with radiation, and was, like, covered in lesions, so they, like, kicked him out of whatever it is they were doing.

00:11:17.000 I was just thinking... Just real quick, I bring that up because of what your point was, like, that self, like, home fabrication of things, it literally happens.

00:11:25.000 But...

00:11:27.000 The reason I brought up 2A in the first place, in the context of the squad, is Cori Bush says defund the police.

00:11:34.000 And many of the leftists have said straight up, abolish the police.

00:11:36.000 Now here's the problem I have with their view on this, is that they want private security for themselves, they don't want you to have guns, and they want to take away your police.

00:11:45.000 That is anarcho-tyranny to the most extreme degree.

00:11:48.000 My position is abolish the police and give everyone guns by mandate.

00:11:52.000 I was just thinking, if you establish a global second amendment, how often do civilians from one country ever get charged with attacking another country?

00:12:01.000 In the last 400 years... There was that guy in San Francisco who shot that woman.

00:12:05.000 But I mean military escapades.

00:12:08.000 In the last 400 years, I can't really pick a citizen attack on another country.

00:12:12.000 It's always the government.

00:12:13.000 So if these citizens were armed, we would probably see a lot less war.

00:12:19.000 You know, but arming the citizens doesn't necessarily mean you get rid of the military in that country.

00:12:23.000 Right, you'd still have a military, but you'd also have an armed citizenry on both sides.

00:12:27.000 Oh, I get what you're saying, yeah.

00:12:29.000 You know, my view of it is, like, uh, so I've been saying abolish the police just because I see what's going on with, you know, the Metro Police in D.C.

00:12:35.000 and the Capitol Police.

00:12:37.000 What happened with that guy in his own home getting arrested?

00:12:39.000 What happened in Seattle with the cops actually defending Antifa?

00:12:42.000 And I'm like, dude, call their bluff.

00:12:43.000 Call them out.

00:12:44.000 Say just, okay, people should have a right to defend themselves.

00:12:47.000 And if, you know, if cops aren't gonna do it right, But my view is, uh, give everybody guns.

00:12:53.000 Right?

00:12:53.000 Second Amendment, you have a right to keep and bear arms.

00:12:55.000 Then if we're gonna have universal healthcare, we're gonna have universal guns as well.

00:12:55.000 Okay.

00:12:58.000 But I'll put it really, really simply.

00:13:01.000 I don't see people in their cars just, like, randomly, like, crashing into houses and, like, slamming the gas and slamming into old ladies or anything like that.

00:13:09.000 How is it that people have access to this very powerful machine that can just hit somebody?

00:13:14.000 And they don't.

00:13:15.000 They don't.

00:13:17.000 I kind of think people don't want to kill other people for the most part.

00:13:20.000 I mean, look, there are a lot of traffic fatalities and you also have a lot of accidental gun deaths, but generally speaking, people aren't going out and killing each other.

00:13:20.000 Yeah.

00:13:27.000 Now, before 2020, violent crime was on a downward trend, so we could say something like that and have data to back us up more strongly, but unfortunately, because of the summer of rage, as they call it, crime rates have more or less biked again, and we'll see how long they stay up for, whether they decline.

00:13:43.000 I'm sure they will, but who knows?

00:13:44.000 Maybe things actually just get worse, and then we can't make the case that people will be peaceful with their guns, but they'll still need them to protect them.

00:13:51.000 This is my position on cops right now.

00:13:52.000 I mean, you look at what happens with Chauvin.

00:13:55.000 He gets arrested and charged.

00:13:56.000 That Kim woman, Kim Potter, she gets arrested and charged. 0.98

00:13:59.000 And I'm like, if everything is going to be beholden to the far left, the last thing we need is a police force to enforce the whims of the far left.

00:14:05.000 Sorry.

00:14:06.000 So, you know, when Cori Bush comes out, she's like, we're going to defund the police.

00:14:08.000 I'm like, better do it now before they take more control in government and then start using the cops against regular working class people.

00:14:14.000 I don't know.

00:14:15.000 We got to clarify, like, what does that mean to fund the place?

00:14:17.000 Because I know when Vosch was on the show a couple nights ago, he immediately thought the anarcho version of it, which is completely remove the funding.

00:14:25.000 So abolish, basically.

00:14:26.000 He also said it hadn't happened.

00:14:28.000 And I was like, there was a report last year, it was like 265 departments had like their budgets slashed by substantial numbers.

00:14:34.000 I think New York slashed a billion, right?

00:14:36.000 So that's a defunding, not an abolishment.

00:14:36.000 A billion.

00:14:38.000 I mean, look, I believe law and order is very important on the one hand.

00:14:41.000 On the other hand, I think there maybe is something to allowing these left-wing cities to engage in some self-sabotage and see how that goes for them, and maybe that corrects some of the bad thinking.

00:14:51.000 Ultimately, I would leave it up more to local governments and regions to determine what their police force should look like.

00:14:57.000 And you know what?

00:14:58.000 I'll clarify this, too.

00:14:59.000 I didn't say abolish the sheriffs or troopers.

00:15:04.000 I'm talking about these big cities where things are, like, run by Democrats, and then the Democrats complain about their own mistakes.

00:15:09.000 I'm like, okay, I don't live there.

00:15:11.000 You know when you have a baby or a child that's like, don't touch the hot stove, kid, and then the kid's like, eh, eh, and wants to do it, and you're like, what are you gonna do?

00:15:18.000 Eventually, you gotta let him live his life.

00:15:21.000 If he touches the stove, he burns his finger, and he realizes, I shouldn't do that again.

00:15:25.000 You can't spend your whole life keeping the kid out of the kitchen.

00:15:29.000 So, in a way, maybe we should let these cities rip their police departments apart.

00:15:34.000 I think if that's what they want, if that's who they vote for, then either... Here's the way I see it, right?

00:15:40.000 Like I mentioned, first and foremost, I look at what happened when there was like a bunch of right-wing dudes in Portland or whatever and the cops started beating them up.

00:15:47.000 Then you've got obviously the Capitol Police crying and saying Trump's racist and all that stuff.

00:15:52.000 And then you see the guy in Milwaukee who gets arrested after people were at his house threatening his own house.

00:15:57.000 Now that, you know, right on the surface, it's like, okay, there's clearly an issue there, but there's another two issues that I think are important.

00:16:05.000 If the Democrats come out and say they want to abolish or defund their police, I'm like, first of all, I don't live there, and I'm more libertarian, so I say, well, then they can run their community as they see fit, within reason.

00:16:15.000 Maybe they're right.

00:16:17.000 Maybe they're right, huh?

00:16:18.000 It'll be a utopia with no police.

00:16:21.000 I highly doubt it.

00:16:22.000 Well, hey, and maybe they're wrong.

00:16:24.000 And then maybe regular people in these cities will be like, wow, we shouldn't have voted for those people.

00:16:28.000 I think a lot of those people will leave though, to be honest.

00:16:30.000 It's already happening.

00:16:31.000 A lot of people are leaving the cities.

00:16:32.000 The property values are decreasing.

00:16:34.000 I mean, Chicago has been shrinking.

00:16:35.000 That's my point of reference.

00:16:37.000 Everyone's crossing the border over to Indiana because they want to live somewhere that's sensibly run and they want to vote for policies which are not sensible so they can destroy the way they did the place they just came from.

00:16:46.000 Well, to be honest, there's a lot of places in Indiana that have already been destroyed, and I don't think they care.

00:16:49.000 That's fair, that's very fair!

00:16:50.000 Yeah, you go over to Gary and it's like... For those that aren't familiar, Gary is like... The armpit of America?

00:16:56.000 Is that what they call it?

00:16:58.000 I think so, yeah.

00:17:00.000 Gary, Indiana, and Englewood in Chicago go back and forth for murder capital.

00:17:04.000 Oh, wow.

00:17:05.000 Oh, really?

00:17:06.000 Gary's heavily industrialized, isn't it?

00:17:08.000 It's like the industrial zone of Chicago?

00:17:12.000 Last time I went to Gary it was crazy because you'd go to like a block like a residential block and Every fourth house was a house and in between it was just abandoned falling apart chaos And it was really weird to see, like, a regular house sitting right there, like a car, and then, like, everything destroyed next to it.

00:17:34.000 You walk down the street and there's a school, windows blown out.

00:17:38.000 The craziest thing, man, the school, there's, like, records of the children who went there in the 60s, just everywhere.

00:17:42.000 You could walk up, pick up someone's file, find their name.

00:17:45.000 And there were buildings like that all over the place.

00:17:45.000 Wow.

00:17:47.000 Actually, so what happened was the police went in and just started breaking windows and destroying houses, and it was all because it was just the cops.

00:17:52.000 Hunting people down.

00:17:53.000 But the police were responsible.

00:17:53.000 That's right.

00:17:56.000 And then they defunded the police and now Gary doesn't have any police and it's going great.

00:18:00.000 It's an interesting phenomenon in the United States, all these like ghost town type, these rubber boom, like Akron. 1.00

00:18:06.000 I was born in Akron in Ohio and there's a rubber boom city after a good year was formed there in the fifties and forties.

00:18:12.000 And then, uh, when the rubber boom stopped, it became a ghost town, but not like Gary.

00:18:16.000 Gary had, Akron didn't have Chicago right next door.

00:18:19.000 So Gary's like the beat up aftermath of a ghost town.

00:18:22.000 Yeah.

00:18:24.000 I find it fascinating.

00:18:25.000 There's all these different cities.

00:18:26.000 There's another report that found Democrats in all of these cities that had defunded police were hiring massive private security.

00:18:33.000 Oh, interesting.

00:18:34.000 This is what it was like when I was growing up in Chicago.

00:18:35.000 I remember my dad used to say that these politicians in Chicago would always vote for more gun restrictions.

00:18:41.000 And then have private security guards with guns.

00:18:43.000 Exactly.

00:18:44.000 They can have guns.

00:18:45.000 Yes.

00:18:46.000 I can have a gun to protect myself.

00:18:47.000 I'll have a private security force to protect my family. 1.00

00:18:50.000 Put those stupid peasants out there. 1.00

00:18:51.000 Let them have five-round magazines. 1.00

00:18:53.000 Yep.

00:18:54.000 If they can have a gun at all.

00:18:55.000 Yeah.

00:18:56.000 What does she think Cori Bush think is the point?

00:18:59.000 What does she want to do? 0.87

00:19:00.000 Defund the police?

00:19:01.000 Like get social workers to go on calls of domestic abuse?

00:19:01.000 What does she mean?

00:19:05.000 Yes.

00:19:06.000 She said social... What did she say?

00:19:08.000 Social safety nets?

00:19:09.000 Does she understand that domestic abuse is some of the most dangerous situations a human can walk into?

00:19:15.000 Two enraged people in the middle of a fight?

00:19:18.000 I don't know about too enraged people, often you'll get like a dude abusing a woman.

00:19:22.000 It is true that women abuse men as well, but it's disproportionately men abusing women.

00:19:25.000 Right.

00:19:26.000 And that's why I'm like, ladies, you need to have proper training and firearms, man. 1.00

00:19:31.000 Dude, I heard this.

00:19:31.000 I used to live next door to this couple, and I could hear them through the walls, and they would fight a lot.

00:19:36.000 And one night, I heard the guy come home, and then I heard the girl like, meh meh meh, meh meh meh.

00:19:42.000 And the guy was like, meh?

00:19:44.000 Meh, meh, meh! 1.00

00:19:45.000 And the guy was like, meh, meh!

00:19:46.000 And she enraged the guy, and then the guy started beating her, and I called the cops.

00:19:50.000 But like, she instigated it.

00:19:53.000 It was crazy how domestic abuse is like this, can be a sick cycle that both people become used to. 0.86

00:20:00.000 Well, look, I can call you a bunch of dirty names.

00:20:03.000 That doesn't mean you should take this.

00:20:04.000 No, he was in the wrong.

00:20:05.000 I called the cops on him for attacking.

00:20:06.000 Right, right, right.

00:20:07.000 And you're right, you're right.

00:20:08.000 Police show up to that, and that's some of the most dangerous stuff they could encounter.

00:20:11.000 Here's a guy, he's attacking somebody.

00:20:13.000 You don't know what's going on, and sometimes the guy's innocent, even.

00:20:16.000 There's, like, a lot of these stories are kind of scary, too.

00:20:18.000 I think it's disproportionate, but there are stories where it's, like, the woman calls the cops on the guy, and the guy didn't do anything, and the cops come and arrest the guy.

00:20:24.000 It's a tough job, man.

00:20:25.000 I'm not gonna... I'm not gonna... There's no two words about it, and what do you do?

00:20:28.000 Do we just say, like, both the man in the wind should be armed, and then when the fight breaks out, they shoot each other?

00:20:32.000 No, obviously not.

00:20:33.000 That's why, when I talk about the police, I think the police are important.

00:20:37.000 I think they do a hard job.

00:20:38.000 I think they do a mostly good job.

00:20:41.000 And I think it's a fairly thankless in a lot of ways, because people don't like getting tickets.

00:20:47.000 They don't like getting tickets.

00:20:48.000 They don't like being told no.

00:20:50.000 And then they get pulled over, and they're like, you singled me out!

00:20:52.000 And they're all angry and it's like, well, you know, man, don't, you know, speed or whatever.

00:20:56.000 The issue right now is just it's, it's way too hot politically and the cultural institutions being controlled by leftist ideologues.

00:21:02.000 I'm like, I'll tell you what's going to happen, man.

00:21:04.000 Cause we've already seen it.

00:21:05.000 And I've already said it 50 million times.

00:21:07.000 They're going to, you know, they're going to show up to your house or take away your guns.

00:21:10.000 They're going to serve you a red flag warrant.

00:21:12.000 They're going to arrest you for defending yourself.

00:21:14.000 And they're going to let the extremists smash up windows and do whatever they want.

00:21:16.000 So I'm like, I like sheriffs tend to do a good job.

00:21:19.000 There's some bad stories about sheriffs, but.

00:21:21.000 If these big cities don't want their cops, I'm going to advocate for that.

00:21:24.000 My, my feeling is that it's going to be either socialized police, like what we kind of have now, federalized police or private police, that it will be one of those three, if not a mixture of all three, which we kind of have now.

00:21:35.000 So I'm afraid that if we defund police, socialized police, that we're going to have an influx of either federal or private.

00:21:42.000 Yep.

00:21:42.000 And that's, that's terrifying.

00:21:44.000 I'd rather have local.

00:21:46.000 Yes.

00:21:47.000 Well, that's what AOC said when asked, like, what would you be looking for?

00:21:50.000 And she said, we want it to be more like the suburbs.

00:21:53.000 Well, that's a good point.

00:21:54.000 Let's bring it back to the days of Officer Friendly, right?

00:21:56.000 What does she mean by that?

00:21:57.000 I guess she's saying that, like, in the suburbs, the cop will pull you over and be like, how's it going there, Ian?

00:22:01.000 Good day?

00:22:02.000 You're speeding again?

00:22:03.000 And then you're going to be like, I'm sorry, Officer Smith.

00:22:05.000 Like, well, you slow down there, son.

00:22:07.000 And then he leaves and everyone's like... They knew my dad was a fireman.

00:22:10.000 They knew my dad.

00:22:11.000 They go, oh, you're Crossland's kid?

00:22:13.000 White privilege.

00:22:14.000 Get out of here. 0.99

00:22:15.000 Here's a warning. 0.98

00:22:15.000 White privilege. 0.98

00:22:16.000 One time I got a warning.

00:22:17.000 Yeah, that was fireman privilege.

00:22:19.000 I'm not quite saying that.

00:22:19.000 Fireman privilege.

00:22:20.000 City worker privilege.

00:22:21.000 Check out, I want to pull up this, we got this story.

00:22:24.000 Oh yeah, this is a great story.

00:22:26.000 I love that our guys wrote this for TimCast.com.

00:22:29.000 That's a great picture.

00:22:29.000 Liberal Utopia.

00:22:31.000 San Francisco woman seen holding AK-47 from passenger window of speeding car.

00:22:36.000 It's amazing.

00:22:37.000 There's the photo.

00:22:38.000 It's a lady hanging out the window. 1.00

00:22:40.000 I guess she got arrested.

00:22:41.000 My understanding is it's not an AK-47.

00:22:43.000 Someone mentioned it's an AKM-74 or something like that.

00:22:46.000 I don't know for sure.

00:22:48.000 But she has terrible trigger discipline.

00:22:52.000 She's ready, man.

00:22:53.000 Too ready.

00:22:54.000 But this brings up an interesting issue, I was thinking, about universal guns and stuff like that.

00:22:59.000 If you're driving your car erratically, like, I think the cop can pull you over and say, get out of the car, like you're driving erratically, like if you're driving drunk.

00:23:06.000 If you are brandishing a weapon out of the side of a vehicle, like, I don't think it's a violation of your second amendment if a cop's like, I'm taking that away from you.

00:23:14.000 More importantly, with their finger on the trigger.

00:23:16.000 Yeah.

00:23:17.000 Should you bust people just for that?

00:23:19.000 You think if someone's walking around carrying and then they have their bad trigger discipline, like she's holding the gun.

00:23:24.000 It looks like I don't, I don't, I don't think she was intending on shooting anybody.

00:23:28.000 I'm not sure, but she's holding it like low ready basically with her finger on the trigger.

00:23:32.000 Yeah.

00:23:32.000 I think she should have that taken away and you know, she's the passenger.

00:23:36.000 Yeah.

00:23:37.000 Hanging, hanging out of the window, but San Francisco dude.

00:23:40.000 Things are going well over there.

00:23:42.000 So I was really curious though, and I don't know if we read this in the article, but is this part of like a gang war or something?

00:23:47.000 No, I think she was just driving.

00:23:49.000 It was a speed event.

00:23:51.000 With a gun? 0.99

00:23:52.000 Yeah, it was funny because a lot of comments were like, man, she's so dumb, but that photo is awesome. 1.00

00:23:56.000 That's a pretty killer photo. 0.99

00:23:58.000 Wow.

00:23:58.000 It's not awesome.

00:23:59.000 Dude, I look at this, I gotta be honest, this lady out of a car holding that gun, and I'm not somebody who's got extensive training, I'm like, it's embarrassing. 0.99

00:24:09.000 You know what I mean?

00:24:10.000 Like if I took a photo, so we did a photo shoot when we had Forrest here for RequilMag, and I'm like very careful, make sure you're telling me how to stand and how to hold it, because the last thing I want is to have a photo of me holding it wrong.

00:24:25.000 She's going to be all over the internet, and I don't know if she cares though, she's not like, It seems like since the movies have been invented that people have become desensitized to the horrors of danger in a lot of ways.

00:24:37.000 Because 150 years ago, if that had come out, that someone was driving around like a psycho, screaming with their finger on the trigger of a weapon, that would be a huge deal for that city.

00:24:46.000 They'd have to do something about that person.

00:24:49.000 But now it's like, it's a hero!

00:24:51.000 It's an action hero!

00:24:52.000 Were the John Dillinger days like that?

00:24:55.000 I almost didn't say that because there were What are they, Bonnie and Clyde?

00:24:59.000 And like, they're old, like, villains that were kind of looked at like heroes?

00:25:03.000 Like, in the old west?

00:25:04.000 They still are, yeah.

00:25:05.000 Anti-heroes, or... I don't know.

00:25:07.000 Billy the Kid?

00:25:07.000 Yeah, it's kind of weird, isn't it?

00:25:08.000 Yeah, like, John Dillinger?

00:25:10.000 You know, people look back on him with some kind of reverence?

00:25:12.000 It's been like a mad distrust for the state, and like a love of local authority.

00:25:16.000 Yeah.

00:25:17.000 Well, now San Francisco is just devolving. 0.99

00:25:19.000 I mean, could this be, you know, it's really funny as we're sitting here laughing like, haha, she's so dumb in San Francisco. 1.00

00:25:23.000 It's so dumb. 0.99

00:25:24.000 Could this be like the beginning of the Wild West days of America? 0.99

00:25:27.000 Like where it's like the dystopian era is beginning.

00:25:31.000 The eviction moratorium is totally illegal.

00:25:33.000 Biden's just basically blatantly disregarding all law and precedence in this country in rather extreme ways.

00:25:39.000 To be fair, Obama and Trump did kill American citizens.

00:25:43.000 think uh... no bombers was a bit more egregious trumps was a bit reckless

00:25:48.000 we've had bad orders from presidents for a long time but now it's like

00:25:51.000 here at home you know i mean i put a bomb a kill 0.57

00:25:54.000 well this is this mike arm and and when you're doing it when when obama killed 0.72

00:25:59.000 those americans with a drone strike you know nobody knew what happened and they

00:26:03.000 didn't care And Trump had ordered a commando raid, which ended up, we believe, killing a little girl.

00:26:08.000 So actually, I should say that the Trump thing is not confirmed, though we believe it was the case.

00:26:14.000 People don't see that stuff.

00:26:16.000 Now you've got Joe Biden being like, I'm going to the Supreme Court to see if I can do this thing.

00:26:20.000 And the Supreme Court's like, you can't do this thing.

00:26:21.000 And then he's like, Congress, can you do this thing?

00:26:23.000 And they're like, we can't do this thing.

00:26:24.000 And he goes, I'll do it anyway.

00:26:26.000 The craziest thing is that Joe Biden threatened to arrest people for evicting somebody a year in jail.

00:26:32.000 Under what authority could he do?

00:26:34.000 None.

00:26:35.000 Literally none.

00:26:35.000 Literally the Supreme Court's like, you can't do it.

00:26:37.000 He goes, okay, I'll do it anyway.

00:26:38.000 The Supreme Court can't do anything to stop it.

00:26:40.000 So when you see that, and you see poop all over the streets, I'll tell you this, man, this woman riding around with their gun, what did you think was gonna happen when people know they can break the law with impunity in San Francisco? 0.98

00:26:53.000 That guy walks into Walgreens, right?

00:26:56.000 I'm sorry, he rides his bike into Walgreens, and then he has a garbage bag, and he fills it up with stuff, and then he rides out, and the security guard doesn't do anything, and Chesa Bowden actually defended the guy.

00:27:07.000 What?

00:27:08.000 What was just about it? He's the D.A. He said something like, oh, he was desperate.

00:27:13.000 You know, and he told this story a year ago about how we have to make sure that we don't

00:27:18.000 we don't make unintended consequences happen by arresting these dealers.

00:27:23.000 And they told a story about how one dealer was was trafficked here and had to sell drugs to pay off the dealers who are

00:27:30.000 holding his dad hostage.

00:27:32.000 And I'm like, so you're saying this guy comes here and he's selling drugs on our streets and we have to tolerate it because his dad's in danger?

00:27:40.000 That makes literally no sense.

00:27:41.000 I'm sorry, I don't want anything bad to happen to his dad, but how is it that we're gonna let him deal drugs, pay off the kidnappers and rescue his dad?

00:27:48.000 What are you talking about?

00:27:49.000 It's bad to stop.

00:27:50.000 That's San Francisco.

00:27:51.000 This is what you get when you get district attorneys much like Cori Bush. 1.00

00:27:55.000 Who are like these progressive Democrats who are just like, tear it all down.

00:28:00.000 Yeah, I'm thinking about like, ancient history and basically the totalitarian of human history.

00:28:07.000 If someone were to go onto like a farmer's land and take three of their goats, and then get caught, and the farmer's like, why'd you take my goats?

00:28:13.000 And they're like, I had to feed my starving family. 0.64

00:28:16.000 They would hang that guy. 0.88

00:28:18.000 Probably not even a trial. 1.00

00:28:19.000 They just take him and put him to death, basically, for thievery.

00:28:23.000 And now we're in such an abundant society that it's like, thievery isn't such a big deal, maybe, it seems like.

00:28:30.000 Well, I feel like we're able to see a lot more of like the extra downsides of theft and robbery because I was learning the other day they are two totally different things.

00:28:40.000 We can now see what robbery does to, for example, businesses that work in a neighborhood and we can see everything it does to the- it like disheartens the people that live there and it makes them want to leave.

00:28:49.000 Like this lady riding around like it's freaking Grand Theft Auto. 1.00

00:28:52.000 That's insanity.

00:28:53.000 I feel like all we need is a drought for San Francisco to look like literal Mad Max.

00:28:57.000 It's in a drought.

00:28:58.000 What do you mean?

00:28:58.000 Well, there you go.

00:28:59.000 This is Mad Max.

00:29:00.000 It's starting in California.

00:29:01.000 California's in a drought.

00:29:02.000 You're right.

00:29:02.000 Oh my gosh.

00:29:03.000 The drought is so bad that they're stopping people from pulling water out of the Delta.

00:29:06.000 Oh my gosh.

00:29:07.000 Bro, I gotta be honest.

00:29:08.000 I'm looking at what's going on with the eviction moratorium, the debt ceiling crisis.

00:29:13.000 Those are very, very big.

00:29:14.000 Unemployment just being cranked out until September.

00:29:16.000 Now you're seeing stuff like this.

00:29:18.000 You're seeing more of the defund the police stuff.

00:29:19.000 And I'm like, it is Mad Max.

00:29:23.000 It is a controlled collapse almost.

00:29:25.000 It feels like... I want you to picture this in your heads, everybody.

00:29:30.000 There's a giant skyscraper.

00:29:32.000 And there is a giant Voltron-like Japanese robot punching buildings. 0.85

00:29:37.000 And the building gets knocked over, and Joe Biden, who's 70 feet tall, grabs it.

00:29:42.000 He's got hairy legs. 0.85

00:29:43.000 And he's got very hairy legs. 0.59

00:29:45.000 And he's holding up the building as it's collapsing, and he's going, But it's too heavy, so it's slowly going down.

00:29:52.000 It's the end of a really good movie.

00:29:54.000 It's going down.

00:29:55.000 And then, no, no, no, this is not the end of the beginning scene.

00:30:00.000 It's the end of the second, you know, in like sequels that are part of trilogies, it's always a cliffhanger.

00:30:00.000 It's not a good movie.

00:30:06.000 That's it.

00:30:06.000 Yeah.

00:30:07.000 The cliffhanger is Joe Biden can't lift the building back up and he's like, come on!

00:30:12.000 And it goes down.

00:30:13.000 And then the sequel is it just crushes him and he dies.

00:30:15.000 That's terrible.

00:30:17.000 So, what I mean is, it feels like the system is falling over, and they're trying to hold it.

00:30:22.000 It doesn't just feel like it, Tim.

00:30:23.000 Yeah, I know.

00:30:24.000 You've seen it, yeah.

00:30:25.000 Yeah.

00:30:25.000 When you get San Francisco with, like, people hanging out windows, like, speeding, and ladies holding a gun, I'm like, let's not be frogs boiling a pot.

00:30:32.000 What did you think was gonna happen?

00:30:33.000 What's the difference between thievery and robbery?

00:30:36.000 I guess that thievery doesn't require any kind of holding somebody up, you just sneak in and take stuff, whereas robbery requires somebody to like cause, threaten some kind of physical harm.

00:30:44.000 Oh, physical harm.

00:30:45.000 Robbery would be like, give me your stuff!

00:30:47.000 And that's still illegal.

00:30:48.000 So San Francisco, robbery is still illegal, but they're allowing petty thievery?

00:30:52.000 Yeah, well, I don't know.

00:30:54.000 Everything under $950, the police basically don't respond to, because they're misdemeanors or something like that.

00:30:59.000 And so people can walk into a- What about $200,000 private security forces?

00:31:02.000 Do you think they'll respond if something worth $950 gets stolen from a politician?

00:31:06.000 Let me tell you about private security.

00:31:08.000 Private security will punch a cop in the face if their client wants them to or needs them to.

00:31:13.000 No joke.

00:31:14.000 They have lawyers.

00:31:15.000 We've had people comment in Super Chat talking about this, but it's true. 0.60

00:31:15.000 Yeah, right. 0.60

00:31:18.000 Private security, they do not care.

00:31:21.000 If they have a client, it depends, it depends.

00:31:23.000 But they don't have to play politics either.

00:31:24.000 If you're hiring a $15-an-hour private security guard for an event, he's gonna be like, I don't care.

00:31:29.000 He probably doesn't even have a gun.

00:31:30.000 But, like, for Cori Bush, she's $70,000 in private security, and she's a politician. 1.00

00:31:35.000 These are the kind of people that are gonna tell the cop to screw off.

00:31:38.000 And the cop's gonna try and walk through, and they're gonna block him and be like, you're not getting past us.

00:31:42.000 It's not gonna happen.

00:31:43.000 Now, for millionaires and billionaires, those are the kind of guys who are, like, literally would punch a cop in the face.

00:31:49.000 Those private security guards will do whatever they want.

00:31:50.000 And they'll, like, fly the guy out of the country if he does something.

00:31:54.000 Yeah, they'll get him on a yacht and they'll take him out.

00:31:55.000 Him and his family.

00:31:56.000 Get him 12 miles out to sea or whatever.

00:31:59.000 Take you to Abu Dhabi.

00:32:01.000 Set you up in a really nice hotel.

00:32:03.000 Nice suite.

00:32:04.000 The police now don't do that.

00:32:05.000 We should defund them.

00:32:06.000 You know, until a police officer does that for me, defund them.

00:32:10.000 Defund all the cops because they don't provide us with that because they won't take notes international waters What if we get like a police and it was like subscription service?

00:32:18.000 So you get like police police plus and police go that's what it is That's what we're headed to I mean if everything becomes private security.

00:32:23.000 What other option do we have people?

00:32:24.000 People are just gonna start hiring private security, then local communities, they'll band together and go, well, the police have been defunded and we need some way to protect ourselves.

00:32:31.000 The millionaires and billionaires have private security, so why don't we pool together as a neighborhood and hire our own private security force?

00:32:36.000 And then they do, and then we end up in Ancapistan, which is crazy to me that the left have become the proponents of that.

00:32:42.000 Problem imagining like check it out like you someone breaks in your house And like they run off you call the police and like you're a regular working-class person and the cop shows up And he's like I see you're using our our Basic package for police service so the person's not you get five bullets The perpetrator is no longer here I think you're safe, and we have fulfilled our requirements under the basic plan.

00:33:08.000 Have a nice day, good sir.

00:33:09.000 feel free to contact us if you'd ever like to upgrade. Then you get someone who's got like

00:33:12.000 platinum platinum plus and the cop shows up and they show up with a fruit basket.

00:33:15.000 They don't shoot your dog. If you only get the basic version, you get the premium version.

00:33:24.000 They like put him down ethically with like a nice injection.

00:33:27.000 But either way your dog is going to die. Well you did call us.

00:33:31.000 It is part of the package.

00:33:34.000 You can see, like, a basic package where they'll apprehend the guy and then let him go.

00:33:40.000 But then there's, like, the gold package where they apprehend him and they'll actually take him to the courthouse and do the paperwork for you.

00:33:45.000 For the Platinum Platinum Plus, if you're, like, a millionaire and you spend, like, 20 grand a month on the police, they bring the guy to your house.

00:33:52.000 They bring him into the basement where there's chains over a pipe.

00:33:55.000 And they're like, here you go, sir.

00:33:57.000 It's part of the Platinum Platinum Plus DNA.

00:34:02.000 He's now going to live in your basement.

00:34:06.000 I heard that private security agents cost, it's the insurance to hire those guys.

00:34:10.000 Cause like each person's like a million dollars in insurance to cover.

00:34:13.000 So you can't, the normal person just cannot afford that stuff.

00:34:17.000 And if people started to come together, cause technically if you get a legal weapon, you are your own private security force.

00:34:24.000 But as soon as you start to build a force, I think that you become then liable for insurance.

00:34:30.000 You know what?

00:34:31.000 You know what I really do think, though?

00:34:32.000 I think if we did abolish the police, it would basically be the end of the U.S.

00:34:37.000 Yeah.

00:34:37.000 Because it's like you were saying, what would happen is people would either form local militias or local security companies would come in.

00:34:44.000 Now, imagine this.

00:34:45.000 You live in, let's call it like, let's call it Hillside, which I'm sure somebody watching lives in Hillside.

00:34:50.000 Let's say there's a hillside neighborhood, and the police are all disbanded and fall apart.

00:34:55.000 And so they say, we definitely need a security force, you know, police for our local community.

00:34:59.000 So they create one, and they all pitch in money, and now they have their local hillside police.

00:35:04.000 Well, next to hillside is valleyside, and they do the same thing.

00:35:09.000 And then one day, a kid from hillside gets into a fight with a kid in valleyside, punches him, the kid goes on, hits his head on a curb, and dies.

00:35:15.000 The hillside kid runs away after the kid dies, and then the valleyside police are like, we're gonna go get him, because he, you know, he came in here.

00:35:22.000 Then the hillside police are like, you can't come in here, and then you have feuding neighborhoods as if they are like micro-nations.

00:35:29.000 If you get rid of the police, I'm not gonna agree with the ANCAPs on this one.

00:35:33.000 That's why I said when I talk about abolish the police, it's not for the same reason as a lot of ANCAPs and libertarians, though they have been calling me based for saying it.

00:35:39.000 No, I think what would really happen is you'd have a conflict from regional departments.

00:35:42.000 And then what?

00:35:43.000 One police department's like, we gotta go to... Here's a better example.

00:35:46.000 Kid from Hillside goes to Valleyside and steals a $5,000 item and flees with it.

00:35:53.000 And then the Hillside cops are like, you're not coming in our neighborhood.

00:35:56.000 We don't care.

00:35:56.000 We don't know.

00:35:57.000 And we're not investigating that for whatever reason.

00:35:59.000 And the Valleyside cops are like, we're getting our property back for our patrons.

00:36:03.000 And then what?

00:36:04.000 Then they go in there and they shoot everyone's dog.

00:36:05.000 Gang war, yeah. 0.94

00:36:06.000 They just, they go in there, everyone wakes up and all the dogs are dead.

00:36:09.000 All the dogs are dead.

00:36:11.000 They like sneak, they come in their house mission impossible from the ceiling like just to take the dog out.

00:36:15.000 Just to take the dog out.

00:36:16.000 Targeted hit.

00:36:17.000 That's assuming too that these neighborhoods have the same laws because then you'd start to get even more granular local level law like It's okay to steal up to $2,000 in Hillside, but in Valleyside, it's a crime.

00:36:29.000 It's okay to fight on the street in Valleyside.

00:36:32.000 Look at San Francisco.

00:36:34.000 When they said they're not going to prosecute these crimes, people from all over the area are going there to steal.

00:36:40.000 They're like, hey Freebie, it's what happened in Ferguson.

00:36:43.000 The people who were rioting in Ferguson did not live there.

00:36:45.000 They were smashing windows and stealing stuff.

00:36:47.000 And it's gotta be bleeding over from San Francisco into the surrounding neighborhoods and cities.

00:36:51.000 I haven't looked into it much.

00:36:52.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:36:53.000 Barbara Boxer, Democrat, Senator from California, got mugged by a child.

00:36:59.000 Okay, a kid.

00:37:00.000 We'll call, say, kid.

00:37:01.000 Because it was a young teenager.

00:37:02.000 Like an 18, 17 year old or something?

00:37:03.000 No, no, no.

00:37:04.000 I don't know about that but apparently he like pushed her grabbed her phone she I think she I don't know if she fell over but then he jumped in a car and she was like why would you do that to a grandma and I'm just like you know there are bad people you need to be protected from let me tell you this man Have you seen that Purge episode of Rick and Morty?

00:37:24.000 Yes.

00:37:25.000 The rich people think they're safe in the Purge.

00:37:27.000 They will make a world they will truly regret.

00:37:31.000 What I mean is these elite political class individuals, these Democrats for the most part, that want to defund and get rid of all these cops, I am of the firm belief that when they do that, they will absolutely regret it.

00:37:43.000 She defunded the police for him though.

00:37:43.000 people say things like why would somebody do something like this okay

00:37:46.000 there are so many reasons but did you really think they wouldn't did you not

00:37:49.000 understand that there are people out there that do those kinds of things and

00:37:53.000 like will hurt people and she defunded the police for him now so that he didn't

00:37:57.000 get he should have known He didn't get profiled.

00:38:00.000 Was there like a social worker nearby when this happened to ask him about his feelings before he mugged her?

00:38:00.000 Well, but hold on.

00:38:06.000 Yeah, because then it probably wouldn't have happened.

00:38:08.000 So Scott Adams has this theory that Democrats really don't understand human motivation, and I'm inclined to agree because Democrats seemed inclined to believe that people aren't going to do bad things to other people.

00:38:19.000 And if anything bad happens to, for example, a minority or person in that community, it's because someone else is doing a terrible thing.

00:38:24.000 So it's like, either you believe that everyone's basically good, or you think that everyone's basically bad except minorities. 0.98

00:38:29.000 I think I generally agree, but my thing with Scott Adams is I just don't take political advice from cartoonists.

00:38:34.000 Well, that's fair.

00:38:34.000 I appreciate that.

00:38:35.000 Nor should you, right?

00:38:37.000 He's making fun of himself.

00:38:39.000 Yeah.

00:38:42.000 But no, I think that's true.

00:38:43.000 They don't understand human motivation and if you go to many of the thinkers that were held up by the left or influenced the left historically like Rousseau who think that humans are fundamentally good, you get into this place where the only way someone could possibly do something bad is if they were engineered by society to commit the wrongdoing.

00:39:02.000 Guys, I got bad news.

00:39:04.000 Uh-oh.

00:39:05.000 What's that?

00:39:05.000 Uh-oh.

00:39:06.000 Spiffy's is closed.

00:39:07.000 I don't even know what it is!

00:39:08.000 Spiffy's is closed, guys.

00:39:09.000 That's just news to me.

00:39:10.000 It's getting worse every time you say it.

00:39:11.000 This is direct evidence.

00:39:13.000 The collapse is here.

00:39:14.000 The country has fallen.

00:39:15.000 You know what else is messed up?

00:39:16.000 The dairy.

00:39:16.000 So there's this dairy queen in Indiana I used to go to and they don't have Dilly Bars there anymore.

00:39:20.000 What?!

00:39:21.000 And it's over!

00:39:21.000 And you're telling me that the West isn't collapsing.

00:39:23.000 This is Mad Max.

00:39:24.000 Check out the story from TimCast.com.

00:39:26.000 Diner closes.

00:39:27.000 Diner closes.

00:39:28.000 Fined $400,000 for violating COVID-19 rules.

00:39:33.000 A diner that was fined $400,000 for violating COVID has closed permanently.

00:39:35.000 and the headline copy editor guys what are you doing teamcast.com a diner that was fined

00:39:41.000 400,000 for violating covid has closed permanently the Washington eatery was once referred to

00:39:46.000 as the flashpoint for covid rebellion by local news outlets they unfortunately they shut

00:39:53.000 They said it was due to staffing shortages and food delivery problems, not the fines.

00:39:57.000 Huh.

00:39:58.000 So it wasn't the fines.

00:39:59.000 Okay.

00:39:59.000 Interesting.

00:40:00.000 But, uh, I'm sure the fines had to contribute something to it.

00:40:02.000 Or they were just ignoring them.

00:40:04.000 Well, okay.

00:40:04.000 Yeah.

00:40:05.000 Fair enough.

00:40:05.000 But, uh, I jokingly say, oh, Spiffy is close.

00:40:08.000 It's a 50 year old diner. 0.99

00:40:10.000 That sucks. 1.00

00:40:10.000 Wow. 1.00

00:40:10.000 In D.C. 1.00

00:40:12.000 So look, this is just one example of all the businesses that we've seen destroyed because of what's been going on in the economy.

00:40:18.000 And it's fascinating.

00:40:19.000 If you look at Civics, their polling, Democrats right now actually think the economy is good.

00:40:25.000 What?

00:40:27.000 Wait, how could you genuinely think the economy is good right now?

00:40:30.000 I'm confused.

00:40:31.000 I don't think it's fair to say necessarily that they're saying it's the best.

00:40:35.000 Yeah, there you go. Yeah, how could you think this economy's good?

00:40:38.000 Let me see if I can Pull this up and I don't think it's fair to say necessarily

00:40:44.000 that they're like saying it's the best right now 36% of people in general think that the economy is fairly

00:40:51.000 good. Huh, but hold on hold on Let's do it by Democrat only.

00:40:55.000 58% of Democrats think the economy is doing good right now.

00:41:01.000 20% say fairly bad, 9% unsure, 7% say very good!

00:41:06.000 Well, because that's the kind of economy that they want. 0.78

00:41:09.000 Businesses are shutting down, people aren't able to provide services to the public, they're not able to keep their door open, but a bunch of people who aren't working are getting money from the government.

00:41:16.000 To them, that's a good economy.

00:41:17.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:41:18.000 No, I think I have an answer to this.

00:41:19.000 If you switch to Republican, 40% say very bad, 38% say fairly bad, and 17% say fairly good.

00:41:27.000 Among independent voters, 33% say fairly bad, 29% say very bad, and 29% say fairly good.

00:41:36.000 I'll tell you what this is.

00:41:37.000 It's people who watch CNN.

00:41:39.000 Yeah.

00:41:40.000 You're a Democrat and you're sitting there watching CNN with drool pouring out of your mouth like, and they're like, everything is great.

00:41:46.000 The economy's recovered.

00:41:48.000 And you're like, it's insanity.

00:41:49.000 It's insanity.

00:41:50.000 Meanwhile, Republicans are like, my 401k is not doing so well.

00:41:53.000 I'm out of work right now.

00:41:55.000 Like, I might be out of work, and other people I know might be out of work, but the economy's doing well, because the media told me it is, and you know we're getting checks from the government right now, and that can last forever.

00:42:02.000 And we're going to keep being locked down, because variant after variant is going to pop up, and they're never going to let us go back to our jobs until we get this 7th and 8th and 9th dose of the vaccine.

00:42:10.000 But no, yeah, things are great.

00:42:11.000 The economy's doing fine.

00:42:12.000 It's on a rebound.

00:42:13.000 A direct, I think, result of the way that the public school teaches kids.

00:42:19.000 Zero about economics.

00:42:21.000 I mean, I learned about money, dimes, and nickels in first grade, and I think that was the last they ever taught me about economics until college.

00:42:27.000 I had to take an economics course.

00:42:28.000 We had banking in my school.

00:42:30.000 We had minor stuff, but I didn't understand compound interest.

00:42:33.000 I didn't understand the way that works.

00:42:35.000 If you look at the numbers and you know compound interest, you can see that it's not good.

00:42:39.000 We had, in second grade, they opened up bank accounts for kids.

00:42:42.000 That's awesome.

00:42:43.000 Oh, awesome!

00:42:44.000 We also had mock presidential elections.

00:42:46.000 That's great!

00:42:47.000 But I think that might have been a polling thing, to see what the kids would say.

00:42:50.000 And so I remember being a little kid, and they had one of those old dot matrix computers, and they had everyone in a line, and they were like, pick who you want to be president.

00:42:57.000 And I was like, Ross Perot.

00:42:58.000 Ross Perot.

00:42:59.000 No, I'm serious.

00:43:00.000 That's when Tim started being a contrarian.

00:43:01.000 Somebody had to put that in a hit piece.

00:43:03.000 No, for real, for real.

00:43:04.000 I guess I vaguely remember this.

00:43:06.000 I'm probably getting it wrong, because I was probably like, I don't know how old I was, six or something, or seven.

00:43:11.000 And because what they were trying to do was to see what kids would say, and it showed what their parents were thinking.

00:43:16.000 And so, you know, my parents, I think, voted for Bill Clinton, but for some reason I was like, eh, I'm gonna ask my parents.

00:43:20.000 Yeah, I tried to get my dad to vote for Ross Perot.

00:43:21.000 It was like, ah, I want a guinea bird for Clinton.

00:43:24.000 I don't know.

00:43:24.000 Vote for Perot!

00:43:25.000 Vote for Perot!

00:43:26.000 He's got those ears.

00:43:26.000 But, um, the economy's on fire.

00:43:26.000 I couldn't vote.

00:43:28.000 Yes, it is.

00:43:29.000 And, uh, we're watching this controlled collapse of everything.

00:43:33.000 So we were just talking about this previously, but you combine this with abolition of police, defunding of police.

00:43:39.000 You combine this with Joe Biden defying the Supreme Court and just threatening people with jail for not, you know, Well, this is a consequence of having a system where the people who make all of the decisions will still have firearms from their private security when they ban your guns, will still have private security when they defund the police, will still be getting their paychecks from their corporate donors when they shut the economy down and your business gets destroyed.

00:44:04.000 They face absolutely no consequences for making decisions that ruin life for the average American.

00:44:10.000 I think we are in a simulation.

00:44:11.000 Why's that?

00:44:12.000 Because whoever's running it, they're like, uh, increase the difficulty.

00:44:17.000 Are they reacting?

00:44:18.000 No.

00:44:18.000 Increase the difficulty again.

00:44:21.000 Did they start reacting?

00:44:22.000 No.

00:44:22.000 Okay, try and get up to 12.

00:44:25.000 How many?

00:44:26.000 Oh, jeez, they're still not doing anything.

00:44:28.000 It feels like they're just slowly turning up the knob on the pressure and people are just like, okay with it.

00:44:34.000 Like, no, turn the difficulty up, but tell them the economy is doing really good and see how many of them actually believe that.

00:44:40.000 Well, that's part of the difficulty.

00:44:41.000 I mean, it's like propaganda, telling everyone's fine.

00:44:44.000 But they're saying things like staff shortages, food shortages, gas shortages, and it's becoming impossible to run your business.

00:44:53.000 Dude, what a bungling of this to give people unemployment that they will lose if they take their job back.

00:45:00.000 In a lot of countries, they would just They are creating an addiction to government. 0.95

00:45:03.000 people go for COVID, the government would pay the people that they had let go because

00:45:07.000 they were still working there.

00:45:09.000 And then when they were able to go back, they would just go back to the job.

00:45:11.000 They keep getting paid now by the job again.

00:45:13.000 They're creating an addiction to government. 0.96

00:45:15.000 Yeah.

00:45:16.000 Now people, if they go back to work, they lose their government paycheck and government

00:45:19.000 insurance.

00:45:20.000 You know, it's unemployment insurance, which you get taxed on for some reason.

00:45:23.000 It's an insurance payout.

00:45:23.000 You're getting the equivalent of 16 bucks an hour not to work, and you're looking at all these jobs and you're like, but even if I take it, I lose this.

00:45:30.000 I'm gonna ride this out.

00:45:31.000 Those people have to pay taxes on that unemployment, and I don't know if they're even planning for that.

00:45:35.000 I mean, how can you when you're living paycheck to paycheck?

00:45:37.000 You know what I find remarkable is that we had Vosh on the show just, you know, two days ago. 0.95

00:45:41.000 He was in favor, he was like, I'm in favor of UBI.

00:45:43.000 And I'm like, have you not read the news, good sir?

00:45:46.000 Like, you know, with respect.

00:45:48.000 I'm glad he came on and had a good conversation, but I disagree with him.

00:45:50.000 Have you not read the news or watched what's going on because we're giving these people money?

00:45:56.000 And you hear this propaganda, the anti-work on Reddit.

00:46:00.000 You know what's funny?

00:46:01.000 Reddit's got a lot of lazy people, I'll tell you this.

00:46:03.000 Not Reddit!

00:46:05.000 They're like, we shouldn't have to work!

00:46:07.000 It's like, okay, invent replicators and I got no problem with that.

00:46:11.000 You can sit around and just say, the tea Earl Grey hot and then you're not gonna work.

00:46:15.000 But everything else requires work because of, I don't know, the second law of thermodynamics.

00:46:18.000 But anyway, we're in UBI.

00:46:21.000 This is it.

00:46:22.000 I said this.

00:46:23.000 I remember I was hanging out, when I was on Joe Rogan, he asked me like, what do you think about UBI?

00:46:27.000 And I was like, I think people wouldn't want to work.

00:46:29.000 And then you get these leftists saying like, oh, that's not true.

00:46:33.000 Actually, you know, you know, my favorite question is like, uh, Ian, I mean, no, no, no, I'm sorry, Seamus.

00:46:37.000 Yes.

00:46:40.000 How many people do you know play the guitar?

00:46:41.000 I'm gonna answer this one.

00:46:42.000 How many what?

00:46:42.000 How many people do you know play the guitar?

00:46:44.000 Oh man, that's a good question.

00:46:46.000 So you're looking at a disproportionate sample here.

00:46:46.000 I went to an art school, Tim.

00:46:49.000 Let's say I know five people who play guitar.

00:46:51.000 And how many of them are bad at guitar?

00:46:53.000 Oh man, I don't know.

00:46:55.000 I don't ask my friends to play for me.

00:46:56.000 I'm just like, I'm sure you're great!

00:46:59.000 I just don't even ask them.

00:47:00.000 How many do you think are like... Here's the thing, the only people I know who play guitar are people I know who play because I've been to their shows and stuff.

00:47:05.000 So they're decent.

00:47:06.000 They're good.

00:47:07.000 But I'm sure I know plenty of people who are bad at guitar.

00:47:09.000 Most people know, like everybody plays some kind of instrument to some degree.

00:47:13.000 Not everybody, but like a lot of people.

00:47:15.000 And so most people will be like, oh, I know a few people who play the guitar and how many are bad.

00:47:19.000 I know a few of them are pretty bad.

00:47:20.000 Do you think the people who are bad would stop working and try to become famous musicians?

00:47:25.000 Oh, I could see it happening.

00:47:26.000 I know a number of them, especially when they're younger.

00:47:28.000 I grew up in Chicago.

00:47:30.000 I knew tons of people who had well-off parents who were like, I'm going to make music.

00:47:34.000 And I'm like, bro, you're not good at this.

00:47:36.000 You're not going to be a celebrity doing this.

00:47:38.000 And that's the thing about UBI.

00:47:41.000 You give someone money to not produce.

00:47:45.000 So here's what it basically means.

00:47:46.000 You're giving someone money, which is access to extract from the system.

00:47:50.000 And then instead of putting anything meaningful back in, they make bad music.

00:47:54.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:47:55.000 So this is interesting because you can take it a step further.

00:47:58.000 A lot of people want to have a YouTube channel or a Twitch channel.

00:48:01.000 They want to find some way to make money with social media.

00:48:04.000 And when you're starting, you can hit a point where maybe you're able to make a couple hundred dollars a month.

00:48:09.000 That doesn't necessarily mean you're cut out for the industry.

00:48:12.000 That doesn't mean this is going to be something that will turn into a full-time career.

00:48:15.000 But that UBI plus a couple hundred dollars a month from whatever you're doing on social media

00:48:19.000 could push you over the edge and actually be enough for you to live off of.

00:48:22.000 So it gives you an unrealistic idea of what your prospects are.

00:48:25.000 And social media is one example.

00:48:26.000 But there are all sort of arenas where you might be able to make a little bit of money

00:48:30.000 and that combined with the stipend you're getting from the government

00:48:33.000 could be enough to live off of.

00:48:34.000 But that's not where your labor is most productively used by the majority of people giving to

00:48:40.000 and receiving from the economy.

00:48:42.000 So you're actually doing a net disservice to the country overall and to the economy overall.

00:48:47.000 Exactly.

00:48:48.000 So my view of this is like, okay, here's an option.

00:48:52.000 Easy access to grants for young people.

00:48:54.000 You turn 18, you can now go to the local grant center, which is very easy to go to, present your little pamphlet and be like, here's what I want to do, and then request a certain amount of money to engage in that project.

00:49:06.000 Because one of the issues that I hear a lot from the UBI crowd is, think about all the talented people.

00:49:10.000 Who are stuck working a crappy job because if they quit, they'd lose their apartment, they'd be homeless.

00:49:15.000 And I'm like, that's true!

00:49:16.000 There are a lot of young people of great talent.

00:49:18.000 I know, I know growing up, people who are insanely good at skateboarding.

00:49:22.000 And I was like, man, these guys gotta go pro.

00:49:23.000 Sorry, they didn't have the sponsors, they didn't have the means to film, and they had to work, otherwise they'd lose their job, or they'd lose their apartment.

00:49:30.000 And I was like, if this guy was just given a little bit of money so he could skate, we'd have great, another great pro.

00:49:36.000 So how about, instead of the worst of both worlds, we do the best of both worlds?

00:49:40.000 You gotta work to pay your bills, and at a certain age, you can say like, here's my plan, I'm a young person, and then get a grant.

00:49:47.000 And that's it, that's your chance!

00:49:49.000 It's complicated though, because you have to ask the question, even if there are many talented people in a particular field who don't have an opportunity to try to enter it.

00:49:56.000 You have to ask, how many people with that particular talent can the economy support?

00:50:00.000 So let's say everyone who's good at skateboarding is able to get this grant where they can become a professional skateboarder.

00:50:05.000 I mean, realistically, how many professional skateboarders can our economy support?

00:50:08.000 I don't think so.

00:50:11.000 We're not offering an infinite or indefinite amount of money.

00:50:14.000 It's, here's a grant to run your business.

00:50:16.000 And they have to have a plan.

00:50:18.000 They come to you with a plan saying, I would like a grant for this particular project.

00:50:21.000 For sure.

00:50:22.000 I thought, so it sounded to me like the point that you were making was we'll tap into all sorts of talent we haven't gotten before.

00:50:26.000 But my concern is we'll give a lot of money to people and they'll end up with a lot of debt and they're not really going to end up contributing.

00:50:32.000 Why would they end up in debt?

00:50:34.000 Well, because they don't end up successfully taking, oh, a grant.

00:50:36.000 I'm sorry.

00:50:37.000 Okay.

00:50:37.000 And I'm not talking about a hundred grand.

00:50:38.000 I'm talking about a few thousand dollars.

00:50:40.000 So it's like they can take less, they can invest some money into something basically saying like, can we invest in young people instead of indebting young people and putting them in colleges that just grind them to the, to the, to dirt?

00:50:40.000 Yeah.

00:50:50.000 Yeah, well, one of the weird things is, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about a grant, but it is very strange that, you know, any young person can go get a loan to go off to college even if the degree isn't going to pay off for them, and it's obvious based on the degree they're choosing, but if you go in with a really solid business plan at 18, the likelihood that you're going to get a loan is extremely low.

00:51:08.000 That's insane.

00:51:09.000 That's totally backwards.

00:51:10.000 Yeah, I would agree.

00:51:11.000 Right, right, right.

00:51:12.000 And so part of the reason that we have the tuition crisis that we have and the student debt crisis is because, this is not just my personal opinion, I think this is something that's borne out by all the most basic rules of economics, and if you need a citation, the National Bureau for Economic Research has said this is the case, but colleges respond to an increase in the availability of student loans by increasing tuition costs.

00:51:32.000 I mean, so Now we have absurdly expensive college costs because the government came in and said, hey, let's help people go to college.

00:51:39.000 Well, it turns out all they did was make it more difficult for people to go.

00:51:42.000 And I don't know if it was necessarily a plan on their part.

00:51:44.000 I don't think it was.

00:51:45.000 I just think they screw up whenever they try to help.

00:51:47.000 And then you, I mean, college is basically indentured servitude.

00:51:51.000 Here's the money for your opportunity, and then you gotta pay it back, and then most people can't, and they get mad, and they demand communism, and then I gotta pay the bill for it!

00:51:59.000 Well, I think what's even more insidious is many of them can pay it back, I think even a majority, but the problem is the people who can pay it back... I mean, look, There is an economic hierarchy in terms of who is able to be accepted into college in the first place, so if you grew up in a rough neighborhood where you weren't able to get the kind of education that someone who went to a decent private school or a good public, a decent public school as far as public schools go, and the suburbs went to, you're going to be less likely to get into school, right?

00:52:27.000 So when we forgive student debt, oftentimes what it does is it redistributes wealth from working people who never had the opportunity to go to college and towards people who started out in the upper class and then went to college who are no longer being expected to pay off the debts, which they voluntarily encourage.

00:52:42.000 I actually responded to a leftist with this on Twitter.

00:52:46.000 I thought I was going to get all these leftists screaming at me because they're like, No.

00:52:51.000 Exactly.

00:52:51.000 Somebody said something like, they said, it was a tweet about, you know, when you say

00:52:57.000 we shouldn't pay back someone's, you know, forgive student debt because you had to pay

00:53:00.000 it off, you're basically saying they should suffer because you did.

00:53:03.000 No.

00:53:04.000 And my response was, I just don't think it's right to make working class people pay off 1.00

00:53:07.000 the debts of the highest income earners in the country.

00:53:10.000 Exactly.

00:53:11.000 And people actually, that's a good point.

00:53:13.000 College degree, people with college degrees earn higher salaries on average than people

00:53:17.000 without them.

00:53:18.000 Why should working class people pay off the debts of the highest income earners? 0.99

00:53:24.000 We're funneling money to the top tier?

00:53:26.000 No way, dude.

00:53:29.000 Do the inverse.

00:53:30.000 How about we make the college students with their high incomes pay their fair share? 0.97

00:53:35.000 Pay your fair share!

00:53:36.000 Well, I mean, often those people end up going into the 1% and paying an absorbent amount in taxes, but... Well, the 1% is still 1% of people.

00:53:43.000 Or top 10%.

00:53:44.000 Well, again, even top 10%.

00:53:45.000 I mean, the higher income earners pay the majority of taxes.

00:53:48.000 How about these people who took out student loans pay their fair share?

00:53:53.000 They got free money!

00:53:55.000 And now they want working poor people?

00:53:57.000 The proletariat?

00:53:59.000 To pay their bills off?

00:54:00.000 No, it's actually true!

00:54:01.000 Pay your fair share, college debt holders!

00:54:03.000 I'll tell you what fair share is.

00:54:09.000 Fair share is, and to be fair, I'm not talking about exorbitant interest rates that compound the compound.

00:54:14.000 I think the interest is unfair.

00:54:16.000 Yes, I agree.

00:54:18.000 My stance has always been, we can stop the interest rates and say, pay back your remaining principal.

00:54:25.000 That's your fair share.

00:54:26.000 But what they're saying right now is, Joe Biden could snap his fingers and erase all federal debt for college students.

00:54:32.000 Why doesn't he do it?

00:54:33.000 Because that would be you not paying your fair share, diluting the economy, and it would be an invisible tax on the working class.

00:54:39.000 So you got free money.

00:54:40.000 You got to spend it.

00:54:41.000 You pay your fair share.

00:54:42.000 Now, now, hold on.

00:54:43.000 I agree with you.

00:54:44.000 The interest rates are insane, wrong, and broken.

00:54:48.000 That we get rid of.

00:54:48.000 Yeah.

00:54:49.000 No, I mean, it's insane that you could charge interest on a loan that's guaranteed.

00:54:49.000 Yeah.

00:54:54.000 I understand some small amount to hedge against inflation, but the idea of people... Right.

00:54:58.000 Like 1% over the lifetime.

00:54:59.000 Yeah.

00:55:00.000 Or, you know, something adequate to offset the value that will be lost through inflation, but not so much that you're able to profit off it.

00:55:08.000 The idea of like profiting off of a guaranteed loan to me is insane.

00:55:11.000 Or even just like if you take out $10,000, you owe an extra $100.

00:55:15.000 Like, look, if we're trying to invest in young people to be better able and better capable, then I think we can give out straight loans with inflationary interest.

00:55:28.000 But at a certain point, you should be able to pay back just to the principal.

00:55:33.000 The interest rates are insane.

00:55:34.000 They compound, it gets higher.

00:55:35.000 I hear too many stories from people who are like, I took out $40,000 and now I owe $80,000.

00:55:40.000 That's completely insane.

00:55:41.000 That's completely insane.

00:55:43.000 I think if you're out of work, it should just stop.

00:55:46.000 Like, I don't know, man.

00:55:48.000 The system's broken.

00:55:49.000 And I'll tell you this, before we even get into any of that stuff, I'm like, we need to re- I'm totally- You know what?

00:55:53.000 I'll tell you this.

00:55:53.000 Here's my compromise.

00:55:55.000 I will personally accept a greater amount of debt to be erased outside of interest if it also means we either seize the endowments from the universities, Or, and I mean that half-jokingly, or we outright end the college loan debt pipeline.

00:56:12.000 That whole thing has to stop.

00:56:13.000 Well, I mean, no, they absolutely have to stop federally guaranteeing student loans.

00:56:17.000 That's the only way it comes back.

00:56:18.000 Well, let me actually be clear.

00:56:20.000 There's going to be a bubble at some point, right?

00:56:23.000 The bubble's going to pop at some point, I should say.

00:56:24.000 We're already in a bubble.

00:56:25.000 This can't sustain itself forever.

00:56:27.000 But it's just clear that eventually they're going to have to stop federally subsidizing these loans, and it's certainly making the problem worse that they do subsidize them, so they have to stop.

00:56:33.000 It's going to pop either way, though.

00:56:36.000 Let's circle back to the COVID lockdowns in this business and the economy, because we have this story that I find particularly interesting.

00:56:44.000 Now, in the previous segment, we were talking about a business.

00:56:46.000 that accrued $400,000 in fines over violating these COVID restrictions.

00:56:50.000 Now with the vaccine mandates that are popping up, well for the most with private businesses and now

00:56:56.000 in New York from a public place, we got this story from timcast.com.

00:57:01.000 Boston's Democrat mayor compares vaccine passports to papers required during

00:57:06.000 slavery and Jim Crow. Interesting.

00:57:08.000 That's bold. Democrat Boston Mayor Kim Janey has compared vaccine passports to the papers required.

00:57:15.000 Slavery and Jim Crow. 0.54

00:57:16.000 The first black person to serve as mayor of the city also compared vaccine passports to demands that former President Obama show his birth certificate during the birtherism scandal.

00:57:23.000 I mean, this is, this is, uh, I agree.

00:57:25.000 I'm, I'm, I...

00:57:26.000 I'm not going to pretend to know about these horrible things throughout history, but what I say I agree is that it is an overbearing demand from the state on regular people to implement these things to the extent that you can't go to a store, you can't go to a bar, you can't go to a music venue or something.

00:57:44.000 Now, in New York, I think you can go to stores still.

00:57:49.000 They're saying indoor activities.

00:57:51.000 But as far as I'm concerned, if you mandate a vaccine for one thing... Let's say they were like, you need a vaccine to go to the hot dog stand on 7th Street.

00:57:59.000 You've mandated vaccines.

00:58:00.000 It's over.

00:58:01.000 As far as I'm concerned, because you've hit at a core function for many people.

00:58:05.000 I don't care who or how many.

00:58:07.000 So when they say, if you want to go out to eat, you need to have your vaccine and vaccine card, New York has mandated vaccines, period.

00:58:13.000 There's no other reason to argue about it.

00:58:15.000 That's wrong.

00:58:16.000 We saw that with the Offspring drummer, I think Pete Prada's his name.

00:58:19.000 He's got Guillain-Barre syndrome.

00:58:21.000 Right.

00:58:22.000 I think so, yeah.

00:58:23.000 And so he couldn't get it.

00:58:24.000 He couldn't get the vaccine.

00:58:25.000 And now he's kicked out of the band.

00:58:26.000 Is that what we're going to create?

00:58:28.000 We're going to create this medical segregation?

00:58:29.000 Is he actually kicked out of the band?

00:58:31.000 Yes.

00:58:32.000 That's insanity.

00:58:33.000 What?

00:58:33.000 Yeah.

00:58:34.000 He went to the doctor.

00:58:35.000 He had a young age.

00:58:36.000 He developed Guillain-Barre syndrome, which is...

00:58:39.000 It's an extremely rare side effect for people when they get some vaccines, and it emerges for other reasons too, but it can be a side effect.

00:58:46.000 It is a side effect of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and there are many doctors who advise against getting the vaccine if you have this syndrome.

00:58:54.000 Which he did.

00:58:55.000 Out of the band.

00:58:56.000 You're gone.

00:58:57.000 It's insanity.

00:58:59.000 Don't we have violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act?

00:59:01.000 Can't we be like, if you're experiencing this and it's limiting to you, we protect you in that regard?

00:59:07.000 Well, I think at this point it becomes very clear that it's all about having you bend the knee if anyone was unaware.

00:59:12.000 If a person is disabled and has a very good medical reason for not getting vaccinated and your response is to kick them out because they haven't taken your preferred route for handling this situation, it's obvious that what you're interested in is submission. 0.99

00:59:27.000 It's not about public health. Let me pull up the story we have from the Daily Mail.

00:59:30.000 More than half of unvaccinated Americans believe COVID-19 shots are more dangerous than the virus

00:59:36.000 itself, poll finds. Over half of unvaccinated Americans, 53%, believe that COVID-19 vaccines

00:59:42.000 pose a higher health risk than the virus itself. The view is especially prominent among Americans

00:59:47.000 who say they're definitely not getting the vaccine, with 75% believing the vaccine is more dangerous.

00:59:52.000 In fact, the virus is far more dangerous.

00:59:54.000 Out of 243,000 Americans who died of COVID since January 2021, only 1,300 have been unvaccinated.

01:00:01.000 Still, the Indian Delta variant is persuading some to get their shots, with 22% of unvaccinated respondents saying the variant was a vaccination motivator.

01:00:10.000 I don't know the full percentage numbers, but yeah, the virus is far more dangerous.

01:00:16.000 Well, you said died from COVID, right?

01:00:18.000 You read that phrase, from COVID?

01:00:21.000 Died of COVID.

01:00:22.000 Of COVID.

01:00:23.000 How many people have died of COVID?

01:00:25.000 Let's see, out of 243,000 Americans who have died since January 2021, only 1,300 have been unvaccinated.

01:00:28.000 Wait, what?

01:00:28.000 That's not correct.

01:00:29.000 only 1,300 have been unvaccinated.

01:00:33.000 So wait, what?

01:00:34.000 200.

01:00:34.000 That's not correct.

01:00:35.000 I don't know these numbers, but they're saying that 230,000 people died of COVID.

01:00:39.000 I've seen reports that people had COVID in their system and died of a motorcycle accident or some other thing with COVID.

01:00:46.000 They died with COVID, not necessarily of COVID.

01:00:50.000 No, no, no.

01:00:51.000 That's wrong.

01:00:52.000 They wrote the story wrong.

01:00:53.000 They did it wrong.

01:00:55.000 Out of 243,000 COVID deaths, later on they fix it, only 1,300 have occurred in vaccinated Americans.

01:01:03.000 The top said have been unvaccinated, as if to imply the vaccine was more dangerous.

01:01:09.000 What?

01:01:10.000 So Daily Mail, get an editor.

01:01:12.000 I'm nervous when people say that we're in lockdowns because we're in shutdowns.

01:01:16.000 And I'm nervous when people say that people died of COVID when they died with a comorbidity with COVID.

01:01:22.000 We're not in a shutdown right now, Ian.

01:01:24.000 Well, over the last year, in 2020, we had gone through periods of shutdown, and I heard people say, lockdown, lockdown.

01:01:29.000 They like that word, that buzzword.

01:01:30.000 We did lockdown.

01:01:31.000 They want it to be bad.

01:01:31.000 It's a lock, lock.

01:01:33.000 New York did lockdown.

01:01:34.000 But there were lots of instances of shutdown that people were calling lockdown.

01:01:37.000 Let's not make it worse than it seems.

01:01:40.000 We don't have to make it seem worse than it is.

01:01:41.000 Wait, I don't understand.

01:01:45.000 We're phrasing.

01:01:45.000 Freight it's freight.

01:01:46.000 It's it's subtle little language twist that people do to control this narrative right now You're saying to tell people to accept that they're barred from leaving their homes or going to their jobs No, but I'm saying if that's a lockdown if there's if an area gets shut down Don't say that it's locked down by like lock and key.

01:02:02.000 Just it's just Oh businesses aren't open That doesn't mean you can't walk around outside.

01:02:05.000 So it's not a lockdown state, right?

01:02:07.000 Yeah, that's called apologizing for authoritarianism No, if we say that we have lockdowns and we keep saying it, then the government will put them into place and people will passively let it happen because they're used to hearing it.

01:02:17.000 But we did have lockdowns.

01:02:18.000 We had shutdowns for the most part.

01:02:19.000 No, we had lockdowns.

01:02:20.000 The United States.

01:02:20.000 We had maybe had a few instances of things being locked down, but for the most part, the United States was very leniently shut down as opposed to Australia.

01:02:28.000 Massively locked down.

01:02:30.000 Like you're saying, where are you drawing the line?

01:02:32.000 Where the police don't let people go outside.

01:02:34.000 I mean, they're arresting people for walking around.

01:02:36.000 That happened in the US.

01:02:37.000 Very, very rarely, though.

01:02:38.000 For the most part.

01:02:39.000 But we had lockdowns.

01:02:40.000 There were some instances of it.

01:02:41.000 It was very rare.

01:02:42.000 And I argue it violates the Constitution of the United States.

01:02:46.000 It's semantics.

01:02:46.000 It's shut down, locked down.

01:02:47.000 What's the difference?

01:02:48.000 Because if you tell people that we're locked down for all of 2020, then when they actually start locking it down, people will be used to it because they thought it was already happening.

01:02:57.000 Well, I'll tell you this.

01:02:58.000 Look, man, obviously that Daily Mail story was wrong because it contradicted itself, which is why I always say, talk to your doctor about what's right for you.

01:03:03.000 You know, and there's another good reason too, because I got a feeling like whatever ends up happening in the long run, people are going to come back and they're going to be like, Tim said X or Y, and I'm not going to be the person who's going to be responsible for your health decisions. 0.97

01:03:16.000 So by all means, you could be in the comments right now saying, Tim is dumb. 0.92

01:03:18.000 I would appreciate it. 0.97

01:03:19.000 Because I don't want anybody putting the responsibility on me for your health decisions.

01:03:19.000 Great.

01:03:23.000 Yeah.

01:03:24.000 Seamus you go talk to your doctor. That's I have a bunch a whole bunch for buddy

01:03:28.000 Conversations he was like I'm gonna do everything my doctor and I I had a hidden camera

01:03:33.000 When I was talking to Tim and I showed it to my doctor. I was like how much can we get from?

01:03:37.000 Seamus went to the vitamin and he's like you should have talked to your like talk to your lawyer about how much

01:03:43.000 money Seamus went into the kitchen where we have all the vitamins

01:03:47.000 and he just grabbed like is C a Multivitamin he's just chugging him and he's like it's

01:03:53.000 healthy Tim said so and I'm like So here's the interesting thing though they say that um

01:03:58.000 that half of people let me let me see exactly what they said

01:04:02.000 They said more than half of unvaccinated Americans believe that they're more dangerous than the virus itself.

01:04:07.000 Well, that makes sense.

01:04:08.000 Well, no, so I want to pull up the story.

01:04:09.000 This is from UPMC, University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University.

01:04:15.000 Researchers identify groups hesitant about COVID-19 vaccine.

01:04:18.000 This is the most fascinating to me.

01:04:20.000 The study says the largest decrease in hesitancy between January and May by education group was in those with a high school education or less.

01:04:29.000 Hesitancy held constant in the most educated group, those with a PhD.

01:04:35.000 By May, PhDs were the most hesitant group.

01:04:38.000 While vaccine hesitancy decreased across virtually all racial groups, black and Pacific Islanders

01:04:43.000 had the largest decreases, joining Hispanics and Asians at having lower vaccine hesitancy

01:04:48.000 than whites in May.

01:04:49.000 Why?

01:04:51.000 I have no answer for that.

01:04:52.000 Well, the data.

01:04:53.000 I mean, if you listen to, you know, Peak Prosperity, Chris Martinson, if you listen to Brett Weinstein and Pierre Corey... That's wrong.

01:04:59.000 They're scientists that just fish data, and the data speaks for itself.

01:05:03.000 No, it literally doesn't.

01:05:04.000 We had Chris Martinson on the show, and with all due respect, he's a very smart man.

01:05:07.000 He's got a PhD in, I think, in toxicology, and when we talked with him, he said, here's 53 studies on ivermectin, and then I googled it and found a whole bunch more saying the exact opposite.

01:05:16.000 It doesn't speak for itself.

01:05:17.000 We'll have to go into it on the after show.

01:05:19.000 There's some studies that I've seen that have just been mind-blowing.

01:05:23.000 Bro, we literally, I pulled up studies and there's studies that say these treatments do nothing.

01:05:32.000 And there are studies saying they do some things.

01:05:34.000 None of these treatments are FDA approved.

01:05:36.000 The point is the data does not speak for itself.

01:05:40.000 I disagree.

01:05:41.000 I think this is why PhDs are among the most hesitant is because it's data heavy.

01:05:46.000 It comes down to the data.

01:05:47.000 I mean, you got to look at what was polio doing to people.

01:05:50.000 It was crippling children.

01:05:51.000 The data was showing that people were, little kids were like losing their ability to walk permanently.

01:05:56.000 That's like screaming data.

01:05:59.000 We haven't seen that kind of data with this.

01:06:01.000 I mean, there's been a lot of illness.

01:06:03.000 600 and what are we at?

01:06:05.000 620,000 dead?

01:06:06.000 That had died with COVID.

01:06:08.000 And when they phrase it of COVID, that's kind of a manipulation because a lot of it is comorbid and people have obesity and they die with like a heart failure, but they had COVID in their system.

01:06:18.000 So it gets logged.

01:06:19.000 COVID is like the, he like, you know, COVID pulls the pin out and then the train goes off the rails.

01:06:25.000 You know what I mean?

01:06:25.000 So it's like people who may have survived with comorbidities don't when they get COVID.

01:06:30.000 It's tough to say.

01:06:31.000 That's a situation where you don't know what it would have been without it because it didn't have it.

01:06:34.000 That's literally what the data is saying.

01:06:36.000 Well, you don't know if they hadn't gotten COVID what would have happened because they had gotten COVID.

01:06:39.000 I hear from people all the time.

01:06:41.000 They're like, hey, I read this about this, that, or otherwise.

01:06:44.000 And I'm like, I'm going to read that.

01:06:45.000 And then I find conflicting information.

01:06:47.000 From like legitimate sources.

01:06:48.000 And I'm like, I can't draw an honest conclusion.

01:06:50.000 Cause I, I, I, when Chris Martinson was here and he said 53 studies, I said, great, let's pull them up.

01:06:50.000 Go talk to your doctor.

01:06:55.000 And I pulled them up.

01:06:56.000 I'm like, that's really fascinating.

01:06:57.000 And then I Googled other studies to see if there was a, you know, a contradiction.

01:07:02.000 Sure enough, I found like several, many.

01:07:05.000 And I'm like, I asked him, you know, these studies say the opposite.

01:07:09.000 And he goes, oh, well that study was bad.

01:07:10.000 And I'm like, how are you going to come to me and tell me this study is good.

01:07:13.000 This study is bad when they're both studies.

01:07:14.000 Okay.

01:07:14.000 I'm a layman.

01:07:16.000 And I can respect him because I think he's a smart guy and he knows more about it than I do.

01:07:19.000 And I can respect Brett Weinstein.

01:07:21.000 But then there are many other doctors that I see writing stories who don't appear overtly political who are saying the inverse.

01:07:26.000 I suppose it's just, I've seen Chris Martinson, Pierre Kory, Brett Weinstein.

01:07:30.000 Brett's not a doctor, not a virologist.

01:07:32.000 He's a biologist, but he's a very smart scientist.

01:07:36.000 You know, Pierre Kory is a virologist.

01:07:38.000 Is Chris Martinson a virologist?

01:07:39.000 Yeah, but bro, what I'm telling you is, if you only watch one thing and then say, that must be true, the data doesn't speak for itself when you can pull up contradictory information.

01:07:48.000 Okay.

01:07:48.000 Maybe, maybe, yeah, you're right.

01:07:49.000 Data doesn't speak for itself, but I did get this from reputable sources.

01:07:52.000 That's the reason I'm...

01:07:53.000 And I got contradictory information from reputable sources as well.

01:07:57.000 Which sources?

01:07:58.000 How can we go right now on this?

01:08:00.000 I remember touching on it, but I don't remember, like, who did these studies, who paid these people to do these studies.

01:08:05.000 You see, that's the problem.

01:08:07.000 When people say, well, your organization is no good because of this, that, or what, but yeah, but your organization, I'm like, dude, that means literally nothing to me.

01:08:14.000 But the problem is some organizations will do studies specifically to derive a specific result.

01:08:18.000 And then for political reasons, people make observations or determinations or trust.

01:08:23.000 Try my best to avoid doing that.

01:08:25.000 And so that's what, this is what guides most of my work, is that if I see some conservative guy come out and say that, you know, you gotta buy your gold, and then a Democrat guy comes out and says, you gotta buy silver, I'll be like, well we got two contradictory people giving contradictory advice.

01:08:38.000 Can I find source information to vet which one is better?

01:08:41.000 Hey, I looked it up, gold's worth more.

01:08:43.000 So when it comes to these studies, you see conflicting studies, do you just dismiss them all, or do you go deeper and try and figure out which studies are right, or which ones are more accurate?

01:08:52.000 So the issue is, when you look at a study, what can you really determine about it?

01:08:56.000 There's a doctor named Dr. John Smith, or whatever his name is, and I'm like, okay, so I can look him up, and then I find a LinkedIn for a guy, and I'm like, okay, and I look up, here's his university, and then I find a Dr. Jane Doe, and I look her up, and I'm like, well, they both disagree with each other, I can't make a determination.

01:09:09.000 What am I supposed to tell people if there's conflicting information out there?

01:09:14.000 Same when they say, buy gold, buy silver, you have to kind of do some deep research to figure out which study is legit.

01:09:19.000 There are people who want to believe one or the other, and they may have reason to, and I'm not saying they're wrong, I'm saying I haven't been able to find anything strong, and so therein lies the big issue.

01:09:30.000 It's why I don't definitively come out and say, you must do X or Y. I say, talk to someone you trust in the medical field because When we have, when I see these things, you know, when I talk to these, like Chris Martinson, he's on the show twice now, I'm like, I, you know, I pulled up a study that he said was positive for alternate treatments, and then I googled the study and found another paper that said the methodology was flawed.

01:09:55.000 It was not a good study because of these reasons.

01:09:57.000 Then I pulled up a study saying these alternative treatments were ineffective, and he said to me, oh, but those studies are flawed, because they're, you know, and I'm like, okay, dude.

01:10:05.000 With all due respect.

01:10:07.000 Those things are ineffective because we never tested them for efficacy.

01:10:10.000 They'll do that sometimes.

01:10:12.000 I'm saying we sat here, we have the episode, it's on TimCast.com, where I was like, I can pull up something saying literally what you just said in the other direction.

01:10:19.000 They would say that about aspartame.

01:10:20.000 They'd say, there's no evidence aspartame has any links to cancer because we never studied aspartame.

01:10:26.000 That's medical logic sometimes.

01:10:27.000 to what we're talking about.

01:10:28.000 That's medical logic sometimes, study logic.

01:10:29.000 I'm talking about fact finding and determining, you know, to the best of our abilities, truth.

01:10:36.000 And you can argue that you trust or don't trust a particular political faction or those

01:10:40.000 who advocate in a certain direction.

01:10:42.000 I don't think that's good enough.

01:10:43.000 I want proof.

01:10:45.000 Now there's a good reason, I think, not to trust the media, but we have a big issue now

01:10:48.000 when the CDC comes out and says, here's a list of things, and I'm like, OK, well, I

01:10:52.000 do have a personal bias against government for a lot of reasons, but if I can't disprove

01:10:56.000 That puts me in a difficult position.

01:10:58.000 So why do you think that it's mostly PhD people that are- That's why I said I have no answer for that.

01:11:03.000 It's hard to know also, because you don't know what their PhDs are in.

01:11:06.000 Right.

01:11:06.000 It could be, it could be, like, I think, who said this before?

01:11:08.000 Was it you?

01:11:09.000 You were saying, like, it could be, like, feminist dance class? 0.98

01:11:10.000 Yeah, I was gonna say, it could be, like, a PhD in lesbian poetry. 0.97

01:11:12.000 I have no idea.

01:11:13.000 Right.

01:11:14.000 So we have no idea.

01:11:15.000 That's why I say it's interesting.

01:11:17.000 But I'm seeing a lot of people highlight that as if that's evidence of something.

01:11:20.000 And I'm like, it's just a group of people.

01:11:22.000 Maybe they're activists who hate Donald Trump because they're in universities.

01:11:25.000 And how many people was polled here?

01:11:26.000 It was like 2,000 people?

01:11:27.000 Or was it 180,000?

01:11:30.000 Do this is data from people who are saying that they were already against of getting the vaccine.

01:11:36.000 It's probably I mean, it could very well just be the case that if someone has a PhD, their opinion was more likely to be backed up with statistics again, whether they're ones you would agree with or disagree with in the first place.

01:11:46.000 And so that locks them into it more firmly.

01:11:48.000 Or they're more likely to be stodgy and stubborn, thinking they're smarter than everybody.

01:11:51.000 Yes, exactly.

01:11:52.000 And I think that plays into it as well.

01:11:54.000 I'm a doctor, you can't change my mind.

01:11:56.000 And that's exactly part of why I said statistics, whether you would agree with them or disagree with them.

01:12:01.000 I think people with PhDs, people whose brains work more quickly, are more conventionally intelligent, tend to be a bit more prideful, and they're also better at convincing themselves of things.

01:12:11.000 Here's what I'm saying.

01:12:14.000 To me, a PhD is just a Twitter checkmark in real life.

01:12:16.000 I don't really trust it all that much.

01:12:19.000 Here's what I'm saying.

01:12:21.000 All the information we present, you can take into consideration however you see fit.

01:12:25.000 But if I can't make a determination, I'm not going to make one.

01:12:29.000 I need sources before I come out and say something.

01:12:31.000 I get things wrong every so often, or jump the gun.

01:12:34.000 It happens.

01:12:34.000 I'm far from perfect.

01:12:36.000 But I try to avoid things if I can't prove it.

01:12:38.000 Your point about studies is interesting, because I feel like they do this every other month with dietary stuff.

01:12:43.000 Fats are bad.

01:12:44.000 Fats are good.

01:12:45.000 Don't use this oil.

01:12:45.000 Use this oil.

01:12:46.000 This is going to kill you.

01:12:47.000 You're going to get cancer from coffee.

01:12:48.000 Coffee is good for your heart.

01:12:49.000 Coffee cures depression for women.

01:12:51.000 What am I supposed to think?

01:12:52.000 So I think that, in the end, really boils down to one, individual rights, and two, common sense.

01:12:57.000 And like, I don't even know what to tell you.

01:12:59.000 It's not like a whole read the studies thing, because you're not going to understand all of it.

01:13:02.000 Talk to your doctor.

01:13:04.000 Talk to your lawyer.

01:13:05.000 And you know who you should, which doctor I don't think you should talk to, is Dr.

01:13:05.000 Yes.

01:13:11.000 Dr. Fauci! 0.55

01:13:15.000 We got this story from Reuters.

01:13:17.000 U.S.

01:13:17.000 plans to give extra COVID-19 shots to at-risk Americans, Fauci says.

01:13:23.000 That is the third shot for people who are in at-risk groups.

01:13:27.000 If you are immunocompromised, people like cancer survivors, those are HIV positive.

01:13:31.000 They are saying that they are trying to rush through approval for your third shot.

01:13:34.000 Now, over in Israel, We have this from Voice of America.

01:13:38.000 after another COVID spike, Israel launches third vaccine dose.

01:13:42.000 They say Israel has become the first country to distribute a third dose of the COVID vaccine,

01:13:46.000 offering the extra jab to anyone over 60.

01:13:49.000 Israeli health experts say the effectiveness of the current vaccine declines with time,

01:13:53.000 and the third shot will serve as a booster.

01:13:55.000 The move comes as virus rates in Israel are on the increase.

01:13:59.000 Now, this is a crazy viral video, which they say is a report from Israel's Channel 13,

01:14:05.000 where they say in this Twitter, which I've not confirmed the translation,

01:14:10.000 that the hospitalization rates are overwhelmingly those who have been vaccinated.

01:14:15.000 Israel is saying we are not finding this to be effective.

01:14:18.000 Now, I don't know if that's true.

01:14:19.000 Yeah, well, and also we have to know what percentage of the population is vaccinated, too, because if an overwhelming majority of the population is vaccinated and an overwhelming, you know, majority are in the hospital and it's proportional, then we could say, well, it doesn't seem to be working in this instance.

01:14:31.000 But if a majority are in the hospitals, whereas an overwhelming majority is vaccinated, then it seems it would be working to some extent, or you could make that argument.

01:14:38.000 So we don't really know.

01:14:39.000 They say an Israeli study showed effectiveness of the COVID vaccine declined from 95% to 80% or even less against the Delta variant.

01:14:47.000 Neither the U.S. 0.68

01:14:48.000 nor the EU has yet recommended a third shot, but most Israeli doctors say they do not believe it will do any harm.

01:14:54.000 Now, we had a story we pulled up the other day from TimCast.com that shows I think it was like Pfizer and AstraZeneca to be like 92 and 96% effective against the Delta variant.

01:15:04.000 So all I can do is tell you this.

01:15:07.000 Talk to your doctor.

01:15:08.000 Cause I don't, you know, I know for those on the live show, like right now it's more repetitive, but in the segments, like, you know, so we have to say it.

01:15:16.000 Um, cause I don't, I don't know what this means.

01:15:18.000 I really, really don't.

01:15:19.000 Israel is making a lot of claims that a lot of people in the U S are shocked to hear and, and, and don't know if they want to believe, to be completely honest, that there, that, you know, what Israel is saying about the effectiveness.

01:15:30.000 So here, here's why I bring this up.

01:15:33.000 Not only is that happening, but the World Health Organization is calling for a temporary moratorium on vaccine booster shots because they want to prioritize global distribution of the vaccine to poorer nations.

01:15:44.000 Okay, so I have no idea, I can tell you this, it sounds like humans run around, like these organizations are like chickens with their head cut off.

01:15:53.000 Is that true, though? 0.86

01:15:53.000 Do you cut a chicken's head off? 0.86

01:15:54.000 It runs around?

01:15:55.000 Yes.

01:15:55.000 I mean, you're the one with chickens, Tim.

01:15:55.000 I'm not sure.

01:15:57.000 I'm not cutting their heads off.

01:15:59.000 He just doesn't want to admit it on stream, because you know, Petey's going to get it.

01:15:59.000 No.

01:16:02.000 That's true.

01:16:03.000 He'll get canceled.

01:16:03.000 My family raised chickens.

01:16:04.000 Really?

01:16:05.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:16:05.000 It's true, though.

01:16:06.000 Don't get canceled.

01:16:06.000 My family raised chickens, and yes, this is a thing that actually happens.

01:16:09.000 They cut what they run around.

01:16:10.000 Their heads are cut off.

01:16:10.000 Yeah, it's a reflex.

01:16:11.000 Wow.

01:16:12.000 I never questioned that.

01:16:13.000 No, of course not.

01:16:14.000 Nor should you.

01:16:15.000 Creepy.

01:16:16.000 Yeah, I'm curious.

01:16:17.000 I am curious what percentage of the population in Israel is vaccinated.

01:16:20.000 What percentage of new cases did they say were vaccinated people?

01:16:23.000 Well, there's this tweet, and I don't speak Hebrew, so I can't really confirm that anyway.

01:16:28.000 But people are claiming that, as a doctor says, it's like the overwhelming majority of the COVID patients in the hospitals have been vaccinated.

01:16:34.000 That is fascinating, yeah.

01:16:35.000 But again, I can't confirm any of that stuff.

01:16:37.000 All I know is that Fauci is rushing out a third shot here in America for people who are immunocompromised.

01:16:43.000 the eviction moratorium was illegally, a new one was illegally put in place,

01:16:47.000 and the unemployment checks are going out. So it smells like lockdown, I guess. You know,

01:16:52.000 they say if it walks like a lockdown, you know, acts like a lockdown and sounds like a lockdown,

01:16:56.000 then it's probably a lockdown, right? Yeah, exactly.

01:16:59.000 I'm hearing from Reuters, their numbers say that the number of doses in Israel administered has been 11 million.

01:17:08.000 And so if that's at two doses per person, that's 63.2% of the country being vaccinated.

01:17:15.000 It's a little bit higher than the U.S.

01:17:16.000 I think the U.S.' 's rate was like, what, 49% or something like that?

01:17:21.000 The United States' rate of vaccinations?

01:17:22.000 Well, I have some data here saying that they asked adults and they found that 7 in 10 adults said they have already gotten it or are getting it as soon as possible.

01:17:33.000 So something like 67% have already gotten it and 3 more percent say they're going to get it as soon as possible.

01:17:39.000 Australia is like 18%.

01:17:40.000 Why is that?

01:17:41.000 They've gotten vaccinated?

01:17:42.000 I think they just don't trust their government.

01:17:42.000 Yeah.

01:17:44.000 I guess.

01:17:47.000 I think Australia's population is much more spread out.

01:17:53.000 I think maybe if your government is not treating you very well, then you're probably not gonna be too happy.

01:17:59.000 Okay, no, it's higher right now.

01:18:02.000 Okay.

01:18:02.000 Oh, no, no, no.

01:18:03.000 Yeah, fully vaccinated.

01:18:04.000 Whoa! 0.71

01:18:05.000 Wow, that's low!

01:18:07.000 Yikes.

01:18:08.000 Wow.

01:18:09.000 At least one dose is 34.2%.

01:18:12.000 Wow.

01:18:13.000 That's so bad.

01:18:14.000 Where?

01:18:14.000 In Australia.

01:18:16.000 So that's of the population?

01:18:17.000 Yeah, of the population.

01:18:18.000 16.3% are fully vaccinated.

01:18:20.000 Wow, that's really, really low.

01:18:22.000 It's abysmal.

01:18:23.000 Yeah.

01:18:23.000 Wow, yeah.

01:18:24.000 That's like the most heavily cracked down country on Earth right now.

01:18:24.000 Why is that?

01:18:27.000 That's probably why.

01:18:28.000 It could be because it's heavily cracked down upon it.

01:18:29.000 I also think it's the population density.

01:18:32.000 Uh, it is really, uh, it's, it's something like sparsely populated.

01:18:36.000 So the numbers I have here are three people per squared kilometer.

01:18:40.000 And in the United States, the average population density is 94 people.

01:18:45.000 Um, yeah, but they've got cities, dude.

01:18:46.000 No, I'm not saying they don't, but I don't, I think that more of their population lives in rural areas.

01:18:53.000 Yeah.

01:18:54.000 It's tough to say it's, it's actually, it's tough to say based on average numbers, but I think their population is more spread out than ours is.

01:19:01.000 Their population is what, like 25 million or something?

01:19:03.000 It's that many, yeah.

01:19:04.000 So we have 10 times.

01:19:06.000 So they have big cities, you know?

01:19:09.000 And they've got military deployed to enforce the lockdowns.

01:19:12.000 Yeah, I'm not saying they don't have big cities, but I'm saying overall they're less densely populated, which means there are more people who live further away from other people who contact them often.

01:19:21.000 You don't think Australia's average population is less dense than the United States?

01:19:26.000 Australia is as big as the U.S., with a tenth of the population.

01:19:30.000 So it's not that they're living further away from each other.

01:19:33.000 It's that there's a big, open, outback of desert nothing in the middle of the continent.

01:19:38.000 What was U.S.

01:19:39.000 population density?

01:19:40.000 How many people?

01:19:41.000 370 million?

01:19:42.000 No, density, density.

01:19:43.000 Oh, the population density?

01:19:44.000 94 people per square meter.

01:19:47.000 And Australia was like 9?

01:19:48.000 Oh, actually Australia is 3.

01:19:52.000 So the United States' information I just gave you is miles, so if you look in kilometers, it's 36 people per kilometer squared, whereas in Australia it's 3 people.

01:20:00.000 10 times the population, 10 times the density.

01:20:03.000 So why is the vaccine rate in Australia 16%?

01:20:07.000 Did you pull up the vaccination rate for the US?

01:20:10.000 I had some numbers pulled up from earlier and it said, again, about 70% of people have already gotten it or are getting it as soon as possible.

01:20:17.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.

01:20:19.000 It's 50.4% of people in the United States are fully vaccinated.

01:20:25.000 165 million people.

01:20:27.000 At least one dose is 58.7%.

01:20:30.000 Australia, 16.3%.

01:20:31.000 I think when you crack down, when you start arresting people for not wearing masks and you deploy military, people are not going to trust you.

01:20:40.000 It would make me less likely.

01:20:41.000 I'm also curious what Australia is like culturally, too.

01:20:45.000 I wonder if they're as divided as the United States is, or if there's a more unified front in terms of the skepticism that they have towards government mandates.

01:20:54.000 Well, authoritarianism, this is why it doesn't work, because you lose the faith and the confidence of the people.

01:21:01.000 And so we were having this conversation, I think it was, I don't know if it was with Wash and Charlie in the bonus segment or something about, like, authoritarianism is effective in that you can mandate things really, really quickly, and that's technically true, the problem is it derails itself, it falls apart, because if you don't have confidence of the people, the system can't be supported.

01:21:21.000 The government is an imaginary construct of people's confidence.

01:21:25.000 Like, why is a dollar valuable?

01:21:27.000 If you showed a dollar to an alien, they'd be like, I don't need this, what am I gonna do with it?

01:21:32.000 Now, gold, they might understand, like, ah, you know, a conductor, I can do something with this.

01:21:35.000 Money, they're gonna be like, sure, I don't know, you like this stuff?

01:21:38.000 They might think it's a really cool picture.

01:21:40.000 Yeah, like, oh, it's a picture and they put it on the wall and they tape it.

01:21:42.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:21:43.000 But it's not functional.

01:21:43.000 There's different kinds of authoritarianism, too.

01:21:45.000 There's the authority of one man, which is like totalitarian, you know, dictatorship.

01:21:50.000 And then there's the authority of a constitution, like a written document.

01:21:53.000 And that's also a form of authoritarianism?

01:21:56.000 No, it isn't.

01:21:57.000 It's really not, but it is a form of authority.

01:21:59.000 So they basically... Not all authority is authoritarianism.

01:22:02.000 Right, the Founding Fathers... Authoritarianism is generally used as a... Yeah, the Founding Fathers... I would like to explain to you what authority is.

01:22:08.000 Go for it.

01:22:09.000 When a police officer in New York says, you can't stand there, that's a frozen zone, which is what they do, that is not, that is authoritarianism.

01:22:17.000 That is them just arbitrarily deciding, I can do this.

01:22:20.000 You want to know what real authority is?

01:22:22.000 Seamus drops to the ground, and there's blood spraying everywhere, and a doctor looks you in the eye and says, put your hands on his neck right now.

01:22:30.000 What would you say?

01:22:32.000 Absolutely.

01:22:32.000 I would just do it.

01:22:33.000 Exactly.

01:22:34.000 If you were out on the street and you saw somebody hurt and there was a guy and he was like, I'm a doctor, you, come here now, put your hands here, you would not think twice because you know that's what real authority is.

01:22:43.000 But if there was some crackpot guy in a rickshaw and he had people pulling him and he was like, you there, come here and kneel so I can walk on your back and leave my rickshaw, you'd be like, get out of here, that's insane.

01:22:54.000 And then if he threatened you with a weapon to make you do it, authoritarian.

01:22:58.000 I think that the reason I brought up the Founding Fathers again is because they established like a, I don't know, two decades of massive authoritarianism in order to install a constitution that they could step back from and release their authority.

01:23:11.000 What do you mean by that?

01:23:12.000 Like they were like George Washington and ultimate authority over the land.

01:23:15.000 They would have made him king.

01:23:16.000 He could have become a monarch and big.

01:23:19.000 That doesn't mean authoritarianism, though.

01:23:20.000 But they functioned authoritatively to build the Constitution, to seize the military.

01:23:27.000 Washington was getting his troops vaccinated against their will, you know, like pure on martial law authoritarian crackdown to win the Revolutionary War.

01:23:36.000 That's war. 0.51

01:23:37.000 And then instead of one guy maintaining authoritarianism being like, and now this is legal, but now it's not.

01:23:43.000 And now that's the new thing.

01:23:44.000 We just built a set of laws that could take over for us.

01:23:47.000 The fact that they gave up power and enacted a constitution shows it was never authoritarian.

01:23:52.000 It was just, it was just war. 0.54

01:23:53.000 I think you can use authoritarianism for good.

01:23:55.000 They seem to have.

01:23:59.000 I don't think it was authoritarianism.

01:24:00.000 I don't think that falls in line with it.

01:24:02.000 It was, hey, we want freedom.

01:24:04.000 Oh no, they're attacking us.

01:24:05.000 Here's what we have to do to survive.

01:24:05.000 Quick, everyone come together.

01:24:07.000 Like, if the house started burning down and I grabbed you and dragged you out of the house, is that authoritarianism?

01:24:11.000 No, come on, man.

01:24:11.000 Technically.

01:24:12.000 I mean, if it hit the fan and you had to, like, take control of everything.

01:24:16.000 Ian's passed out from smoke inhalation, but he hasn't chosen to leave, so I'm leaving here.

01:24:19.000 I'm not an authoritarian.

01:24:20.000 I'm leaving him in the building.

01:24:21.000 It's Ian's freedom to sleep.

01:24:24.000 I mean, it's interesting.

01:24:25.000 So the word authority and the word author come from the same place, which is creator.

01:24:29.000 Someone creates something, they have authority over it.

01:24:32.000 Or if they have given you, they've delegated the authority over their creation to another person, then that person has authority over it.

01:24:40.000 And of course, it comes ultimately from God creating the universe, delegating authority to specific civil authorities.

01:24:46.000 But a belief in authority is not the same as a belief that Unbridled authoritarianism is acceptable.

01:24:55.000 Yeah, when you think of unbridled authoritarianism, do you think of it as like dictatorial?

01:24:59.000 Yeah, so I would say usurpation.

01:25:01.000 Anytime an authority structure absorbs the role of a smaller, more vulnerable authority structure when it doesn't have to do so, I would call that authoritarianism.

01:25:10.000 So basically anytime subsidiarity is violated.

01:25:12.000 So I believe that there are all sorts of authority structures across humanity.

01:25:17.000 So you have the family structure, which is an authority structure.

01:25:20.000 You have the father at the head of the household.

01:25:22.000 And then you also have local governments, state governments, a national government.

01:25:28.000 And if one higher authority, quote-unquote higher authority, in that hierarchy comes down and takes a role which is proper to one of the lower authorities, so for example if the state starts to interfere with family life in ways that are proper to a father, I believe that's authoritarianism because somebody is taking the rightful authority away from one and giving authority which is not due to another to them.

01:25:50.000 It's interesting that you said, when they have to, only if they don't have to.

01:25:54.000 And you gotta define, what does that mean if someone feels like they have to step in and take the authority?

01:25:58.000 Like, would a virus make someone think that?

01:26:01.000 I can explain to authoritarianism and libertarianism, somewhat, with a great way.

01:26:06.000 So, the Democrats right now believe the economy's going good.

01:26:08.000 Because the authority told them.

01:26:08.000 Why?

01:26:10.000 And they have strict adherence to the authority, which says, this is what you must do.

01:26:13.000 They say, okay, the economy is good.

01:26:15.000 Yes, sir.

01:26:16.000 Trump supporters were told by Trump to get the vaccine, and they said, no!

01:26:21.000 That's not authoritarianism!

01:26:24.000 Yeah, we live in kind of a self-authored society.

01:26:26.000 The Constitution is supposedly self-authored by us, we the people.

01:26:32.000 We're a freedom-loving people, and we are losing that freedom.

01:26:35.000 What interests me is that they seized authoritarian dictatorship for a short period of time in order to create a self-authored society.

01:26:44.000 It's war.

01:26:45.000 And plus, people could have just fled, I guess.

01:26:47.000 There'd have been cowards, and I don't know.

01:26:49.000 Off to England, yeah.

01:26:50.000 It was a lot harder back then, I suppose, but they were loyalists.

01:26:53.000 They were people who said no to the revolution.

01:26:55.000 That made me think of, if we hadn't had, was it South Carolina, the slave states, if they hadn't joined us?

01:26:59.000 Not only would they just not have been in there fighting, they would have been all loyalists.

01:27:02.000 You know what would have been really funny, though, is that they would have had to abolish slavery sooner if they remained with the crown.

01:27:07.000 But this is really interesting, actually, in that regard, because I talked about this, because a lot of people have said, if America never declared independence, slavery would have ended 20 years earlier.

01:27:15.000 And I'm like, I'm not sure that's true.

01:27:16.000 I'm not sure that's true at all.

01:27:17.000 Imagine the crown of Britain said, we're mandating in 1833 the end of slavery, the southern states would have declared independence.

01:27:23.000 But the whole British ending slavery thing is kind of a fallacy because they did what was called enclosure.

01:27:27.000 I was just watching it there on Kings and Generals YouTube channel about this yesterday.

01:27:30.000 Enclosure is basically where the lords of the land seized the land from all the civilians.

01:27:33.000 99.98% of British land is owned by like 0.01% of the population.

01:27:41.000 Since like the 1600s, since they started enclosure.

01:27:44.000 Well and also if the United States was still under British rule,

01:27:48.000 the economic and political incentives would be entirely different from the Crown

01:27:53.000 from what they were when England wasn't overseeing the United States and decided to end slavery.

01:27:59.000 So I don't think you could say that if we stayed with the Crown, slavery would have ended sooner.

01:28:02.000 I don't think you could possibly know that.

01:28:04.000 Like they might have let it roll in the Americas because it was making them so much money.

01:28:08.000 Yeah, they would just colonize.

01:28:10.000 Or because they feared some kind of revolt, right?

01:28:13.000 Because the southern states seceded and revolted.

01:28:17.000 So I have no reason to believe that the British government wouldn't have the foresight to say, oh, that will probably happen or could happen.

01:28:24.000 So to me, it's not something you could possibly.

01:28:27.000 I love my English homies, man, but the British government terrifies me.

01:28:30.000 A monarchy in today's age.

01:28:33.000 Our government scares me a lot more.

01:28:36.000 But I mean, you see, Britain, like, the Commonwealth is struggling.

01:28:41.000 Canada and Australia are getting messed up right now by authority.

01:28:47.000 And then they got the God King at the top.

01:28:50.000 It's crazy.

01:28:51.000 Yeah, but it's not like the crown actually does anything.

01:28:53.000 Yeah, it's a ceremonial.

01:28:54.000 It's all behind it.

01:28:55.000 They own land is what they do.

01:28:56.000 They basically control everything through ownership.

01:28:58.000 We got, we have that in the United States too, bro.

01:29:01.000 Kind of, but you can have, there's a lot of private property in the US.

01:29:03.000 Isn't Trinity Church, Trinity in like New York, one of the largest landowners?

01:29:07.000 No, I didn't know that.

01:29:08.000 Bureau of Land Management is.

01:29:09.000 In the Vatican.

01:29:10.000 In China.

01:29:11.000 Yeah, they own a lot of land.

01:29:13.000 That's how you do it, I guess.

01:29:13.000 You own the land like Ray Kroc.

01:29:15.000 They're like, we're not doing anything.

01:29:17.000 We just own the land.

01:29:18.000 Yeah, come on. 0.77

01:29:19.000 Own the land under the McDonald's.

01:29:20.000 That's an active process to own land.

01:29:23.000 Yeah.

01:29:24.000 Yeah.

01:29:27.000 What's your hold for us?

01:29:28.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:29:29.000 Living till we're 700 and, like, real healthy and stuff.

01:29:29.000 It's interesting.

01:29:32.000 Live till 700 and be real healthy?

01:29:34.000 Well, once you get the 5,000th jab, you might make it.

01:29:38.000 Yeah, you're gonna make it.

01:29:39.000 Well, look, to be fair, they've been saying since the beginning they were expecting to be, like, a yearly thing.

01:29:39.000 5,000.

01:29:44.000 Yeah.

01:29:44.000 Like a flu shot.

01:29:45.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:29:46.000 I mean, they've said that they think this is going to be, like, a seasonal flu.

01:29:49.000 The issue is they didn't force me to get the flu shot, you know?

01:29:53.000 Like, you walk into Walgreens and they're like, would you like to?

01:29:55.000 And it's like, you know, maybe, I guess.

01:29:57.000 I went to the doctor once.

01:29:58.000 I told the story like, you know, he gave me like four or five shots or whatever.

01:30:02.000 Yeah, all at once.

01:30:03.000 There's an entirely different culture around it.

01:30:05.000 People don't shame you for not getting the flu shot.

01:30:07.000 I know people that would get the flu shot and then get the flu because their immune systems would be so beat up by the shot that then they wouldn't be eating healthy and then they'd end up getting sick anyway.

01:30:15.000 So the problem with the flu shot is that we develop it in conjunction with Australia because their flu season is ahead of ours.

01:30:22.000 Sometimes they have a different strain of the flu than we have.

01:30:24.000 So by the time the flu shot comes here and we're using it, we're like, oh, this will work for our strain, right?

01:30:30.000 Sometimes, sometimes not.

01:30:31.000 Like there was one year I remember at the hospital, they gave us all the shot.

01:30:34.000 It was great.

01:30:34.000 It was wonderful.

01:30:35.000 Tons of people still got the flu.

01:30:36.000 It was something like 30% effective because the Australian strain just wasn't very much like the American strain.

01:30:41.000 I remember reading a while ago, this was before COVID, this is before anyone was really talking about this, before there was any seeming controversy over vaccines as far as I could tell, but I remember reading that flu vaccines were becoming less effective on a yearly basis and it was a serious problem that had to be dealt with.

01:30:58.000 I think the discourse surrounding vaccines has clearly moved on to other issues, if that is the case.

01:31:06.000 The challenge is, I think, one of the reasons you see these stories where people think the vaccine is more dangerous is because of the authoritarianism of the media and the left, the overstate, the cathedral, whatever you want to call it.

01:31:15.000 When the people who always lie to you tell you something's good, you're not going to believe them.

01:31:19.000 And they've discredited themselves over the past few years, like Russiagate is, you know.

01:31:22.000 You know what, for everybody who's listening, if you ever get somebody who's like, you know, oh, you believe that stuff, be like, Russia.

01:31:29.000 Sorry, like, you lost all credibility with the New York Times, the Washington Post, and CNN, and all these, MSNBC were screaming Russia for years, and it was all bunk.

01:31:37.000 You lost me, dude.

01:31:38.000 Sorry.

01:31:39.000 And also, like, there is precedent for them lying and moving the goalposts.

01:31:43.000 About this as well, this very situation.

01:31:46.000 Two weeks to slow the spread.

01:31:47.000 Oh, the idea is we just want people locked down so that the hospitals don't get overwhelmed with new patients.

01:31:54.000 And then everyone forgot about that.

01:31:55.000 Yeah, everyone forgot about that.

01:31:56.000 That's weird.

01:31:56.000 It was two weeks to slow the spread and the whole point was 15 days.

01:32:00.000 So a day over two weeks to slow the spread.

01:32:00.000 15 days, I'm sorry.

01:32:03.000 Because we didn't want hospitals to get overwhelmed.

01:32:05.000 And what happened?

01:32:06.000 They didn't get overwhelmed.

01:32:06.000 Exactly, but did we stop at two weeks?

01:32:08.000 So we've already been lied to about this and the narrative has changed

01:32:12.000 Even if you don't want to say we were lied to the narrative clearly changed

01:32:14.000 The goalpost has moved so people have no reason to believe it's not gonna move if they go and get the vaccine or do

01:32:19.000 whatever Else they're being told to do

01:32:21.000 This is the idea that these people would scold you and talk down to you for not taking their word for it after they've

01:32:26.000 repeatedly Misrepresented what the future would be if we were to take 0.96

01:32:30.000 their word for it is ridiculous The lack of self-awareness is astounding even for them.

01:32:34.000 This is why I always say Talk to you later. 0.98

01:32:40.000 The droplets?

01:32:41.000 I say, because, because, listen, listen, I don't, I don't, I don't care the politics.

01:32:41.000 The droplets!

01:32:46.000 There are people who make money off of shock content.

01:32:49.000 Be it somebody who was like in a hospital bed going, I wish I got the vaccine!

01:32:52.000 Or somebody being like, my legs don't work.

01:32:54.000 It's like, the people are going to find the stories that get the clicks.

01:32:58.000 And that's why you need to find someone you trust who's done the research.

01:33:02.000 And there are people who tell me that they don't trust their doctors.

01:33:03.000 I'm like, then you need a good doctor, dude.

01:33:05.000 Lots of doctors.

01:33:06.000 It's okay to travel from doctor to doctor.

01:33:08.000 They call them second opinions.

01:33:09.000 Get a second opinion, exactly.

01:33:10.000 This is the age of, like, multiple opinions.

01:33:12.000 Get lots and lots of doctors' opinions.

01:33:14.000 Well, just make sure that you trust they've done their research, that they're qualified.

01:33:19.000 Because it's insane to me that anyone would think that I'm implying you go to a quack doctor in an alley. 0.99

01:33:23.000 Like, no!

01:33:24.000 I'm saying you go to someone and you ask them questions, say, here's what I saw, what do you think?

01:33:27.000 And here's what I said earlier, like, if you see a story, show them!

01:33:30.000 Yeah.

01:33:30.000 See what they think.

01:33:31.000 These are the questions you've got to ask.

01:33:33.000 Exactly, exactly.

01:33:34.000 Because if there's nothing to it, then your doctor should generally be able to explain to you, well, sometimes these things happen, or whatever it is.

01:33:40.000 But the statistics I've seen in my research shows that it is safe if it is, right?

01:33:45.000 Let me add.

01:33:47.000 The doctor I had in my neighborhood, we knew our doctor.

01:33:49.000 Yes, that's huge.

01:33:50.000 I was about to bring that up, actually.

01:33:52.000 It's not just talking to your doctor.

01:33:53.000 It's not just talking to a doctor who you've known or have had, because maybe you don't have a doctor who you go to primarily.

01:34:00.000 It is really helpful to just have friends who are doctors.

01:34:03.000 Or like a wife who's a doctor, folks. 1.00

01:34:05.000 But if you have friends who are doctors who you genuinely trust, who you aren't necessarily seeing, you can still talk with about this stuff.

01:34:13.000 Let's go to Super Chats.

01:34:14.000 All right.

01:34:15.000 Smash that like button.

01:34:16.000 Go to TimCast.com.

01:34:17.000 We'll have a bonus.

01:34:17.000 Hit us with the superchats!

01:34:20.000 There will be a bonus segment at TimCast.com coming up around 11 or so p.m.

01:34:25.000 So make sure you're a member there for all the good fun where we get spicy.

01:34:28.000 But for now, just smash that like button.

01:34:30.000 Let's read some superchats.

01:34:34.000 Jim Gochian says, screwing landlords over is on purpose.

01:34:37.000 Blackrock can afford the losses but mom-and-pop landlords can't and must sell or get foreclosed on.

01:34:43.000 Great reset.

01:34:44.000 Well, yeah, I mean, whether it's intentional, that is certainly bound to be one of the long-term consequences here.

01:34:49.000 Miso Trash says, happy birthday, Lids!

01:34:52.000 Thank you!

01:34:52.000 I appreciate that.

01:34:54.000 Shaul Kramer says, hey Tim Kastim, Seamus, have you seen Tolstoy's Christian anarchist argument?

01:34:59.000 What do you think of the Prophet Samuel's warning against government?

01:35:03.000 Um, yeah, so I'm definitely not an anarchist.

01:35:06.000 And if I'm not mistaken, what they're referring to with the prophet Samuel is when the people asked for a king.

01:35:11.000 And there are certainly arguments, and there are certainly warnings that people should heed about the state and the overstepping of authority.

01:35:19.000 But as I mentioned earlier, authority comes, by definition, from what the word means, from the author, from the creator.

01:35:24.000 And the ultimate author of things is God.

01:35:27.000 So as Christians, what we believe, and I should say as Catholics more specifically, is there are rightly ordered authority structures, including civil authorities, because scripture also says that the king does not wield the sword in vain, render unto Caesar, etc.

01:35:42.000 So as Christians, we do believe that there should be some obedience to civil authorities, as long as they're not asking you to do anything which is contrary to the faith or reason.

01:35:52.000 Matthew Hammond says- And let me be clear, by faith or reason, I'm saying it with respect to like a well-formed conscience, because it's a very slippery slope to say, well, I don't agree with these reasons.

01:35:59.000 Matthew Hammond says, when are we going to get a Freedom Tunes movie?

01:36:03.000 Oh my goodness, I would love to do something like that.

01:36:05.000 I would need to figure out the funding.

01:36:06.000 What I'm trying to do right now is get Freedom Tunes to be a more well-oiled machine so I can take on some more of these projects.

01:36:12.000 So I've mentioned before we work on other projects, I have other clients, but I really want to get Freedom Tunes specifically to be more steady so I can step away and do some of these expansionist things like Uh, a film or television show or something like that.

01:36:26.000 So, one thing we need in order to do that isn't just the crowdfunding, patreon.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.

01:36:48.000 I'll figure out.

01:36:49.000 I'm not sure where to have actually because I don't have yeah, I mean just tweet at me That's right at Seamus Coghlan.

01:36:49.000 I'm trying to well.

01:36:55.000 It's what actually my DMS are open at Seamus underscore Coghlan Just if you or anyone you know is an animator Please reach out because we're looking to hire more people so that we can do those kinds of projects I want to see people that have mastered Seamus's art form.

01:37:07.000 I was thinking this a couple nights ago, like, oh yeah, I bet people are like just really good at drawing your art.

01:37:11.000 Exactly.

01:37:12.000 And you could hire them.

01:37:13.000 The last video you did fixing leftist memes was great.

01:37:16.000 Thank you so much.

01:37:16.000 I love the one where you had the mug and it's like, but I tweeted it.

01:37:20.000 It said, don't confuse your Google search with my medical degree.

01:37:22.000 And then you changed it to my DuckDuckGo search and then changed it to don't confuse your Google search with my Google search.

01:37:29.000 That was the best one because that's literally what it is.

01:37:31.000 Yeah, that's what it is 90% of the time.

01:37:34.000 Go watch that video, actually.

01:37:36.000 There's more to it.

01:37:36.000 I won't spoil the joke.

01:37:38.000 Some people have crazy arms like this sometimes on your cartoon.

01:37:41.000 Can you have them doing that while their arms are at their sides sometimes?

01:37:44.000 Just for you!

01:37:46.000 Kendall Heard says, Last year Adam said happy birthday to me.

01:37:50.000 Can I get another happy birthday from the TimCast crew?

01:37:52.000 Happy birthday!

01:37:54.000 It's your birthday too!

01:37:55.000 Happy birthday, buddy.

01:37:57.000 XRunner says, leftists make a great argument for anarcho-capitalism.

01:38:01.000 Uh-huh.

01:38:02.000 That's right.

01:38:04.000 All right, let's see.

01:38:06.000 Jake Mahaney says, can you guys improvise a Fauci v. Trump skit live, please?

01:38:11.000 Also, happy birthday, Lydia.

01:38:13.000 We definitely improvised a Trump v. Fauci skit, and we will definitely be improvising more skits.

01:38:17.000 Yeah, so the Mordor one from, what was it, like last week?

01:38:21.000 Yeah, that I released last week, but we did that a while ago.

01:38:23.000 But it was because I did a Joe Biden in Mordor as a joke.

01:38:27.000 We can't even get into that, because that's going to be a really good video.

01:38:30.000 We can't spoil that.

01:38:32.000 No, I think you started with Fauci, where you're like, CAST IT INTO THE FLAMES!

01:38:37.000 And I don't know, dude, I was dying, and then we're like, alright!

01:38:40.000 We're like, we have to make this a video.

01:38:43.000 Yeah, just Fauci as Elrond.

01:38:45.000 That's so good.

01:38:46.000 DO IT, TRUMP!

01:38:47.000 CAST IT INTO THE WUHAN WET MARKET!

01:38:50.000 Such an incredible trilogy.

01:38:51.000 Alright, let's see.

01:38:54.000 Okay, Spare Climber says, hey Tim, my girlfriend is a nurse at Banner.

01:38:58.000 And is quitting over the vax mandate.

01:38:58.000 Oh, I know Banner.

01:39:00.000 Could you look into the situation here in AZ at all?

01:39:02.000 Thanks, absolutely love the show guys.

01:39:04.000 My girlfriend's a nurse, okay folks.

01:39:05.000 I know Banner helps.

01:39:06.000 My girlfriend's a nurse, alright.

01:39:08.000 Close.

01:39:10.000 Call for President says, the show isn't showing up in YouTube under the TimCast channel.

01:39:10.000 Let's see.

01:39:14.000 Pretty sure that's why there's so few viewers.

01:39:16.000 Happy birthday, Lydia.

01:39:17.000 Keep searching.

01:39:18.000 Expanding earth, Ian.

01:39:19.000 Interesting.

01:39:21.000 Did you see it on the TimCast channel?

01:39:21.000 I don't know about that.

01:39:23.000 I didn't see it until two minutes before we went live.

01:39:26.000 And it was up for like 10 minutes?

01:39:28.000 Yeah, but see what they do is they don't show it to certain people.

01:39:31.000 I definitely do see it on the But so like... If they don't have their vaccine passport, if they haven't verified that they're vaccinated, YouTube won't show it to them.

01:39:37.000 Go through a bunch of TimCast videos and click like on a bunch of them and the YouTube algorithm will start sorting it to the top of your thing.

01:39:44.000 Peter Gunn says, I just watched a video from Greg Foreman showing the Young Turks and Daily Beast trying to smear you. 0.96

01:39:49.000 It was pathetic. 0.99

01:39:50.000 Keep it up. 1.00

01:39:50.000 You're getting big, man. 1.00

01:39:51.000 Yeah, these things happen.

01:39:52.000 It was hilarious.

01:39:54.000 I love it when people are like, I'm going to try and find everyone who hates you to say bad things about you.

01:39:58.000 And it's like... People don't like you.

01:39:59.000 It read like satire.

01:40:02.000 It was crazy.

01:40:03.000 It was really bad.

01:40:04.000 I was reading the article.

01:40:05.000 I was like, what is this?

01:40:06.000 It's like too over the top.

01:40:09.000 I had a lot of people say that it was just like hard to read because it was so long.

01:40:12.000 It was really long.

01:40:13.000 No, I, so I was like jumping around in it.

01:40:16.000 I definitely, it was very long and it was all the same garbage, but there were a few lines in there, man, that I saw that just stuck out to me that I thought were hilarious.

01:40:22.000 Well, you know, people, they try, but I don't dwell on these things.

01:40:26.000 Yeah, that's fair.

01:40:27.000 Because the way I see it is like, they're trying to distract you.

01:40:30.000 Like, we're on a path, and that path is expanding, it's growing, it's successful, and the last thing I need is to waste time with distractions.

01:40:35.000 I get it.

01:40:36.000 Good for you.

01:40:36.000 We gotta do this D&D show.

01:40:38.000 The lions don't care for the opinion of the sheep.

01:40:40.000 And we did hire a DM, a Dungeon Master, is here, so thank you guys so much for sending me your DMs.

01:40:47.000 Yeah, it's gonna be good.

01:40:51.000 Dr. Roller Gator says, Happy birthday, Lydia.

01:40:53.000 You're the best.

01:40:54.000 Thank you.

01:40:54.000 Lydia is the best.

01:40:55.000 Happy birthday.

01:40:56.000 Yeah, she is.

01:40:56.000 We're happy for you.

01:40:57.000 Dr. Gator.

01:40:58.000 Ooh, look at this.

01:40:59.000 Debt Collector says, Hey, Tim, I just want to let you know the governor of Virginia just mandated that all state employees must show proof of the VACs or be forced to get tested.

01:41:07.000 See, that makes no sense.

01:41:09.000 If they're saying that there's still breakthrough cases, but if you're vaccinated that you don't got to get tested.

01:41:16.000 Yeah.

01:41:17.000 But if you're not vaccinated, you do got to get tested.

01:41:19.000 It's kind of like, but you're still, you still have an open door.

01:41:21.000 Like if the goal is to secure a building and you're like, people are less likely to go through this door than this door.

01:41:26.000 So we're only going to watch this door.

01:41:28.000 And I'm like, so eventually people will still get in the one door.

01:41:31.000 Like, I don't know.

01:41:32.000 That makes no sense to me, dude.

01:41:35.000 All right.

01:41:35.000 Let's see.

01:41:36.000 What do we got here?

01:41:38.000 Gothic Extravaganza says, question for Seamus, if the debunked are so far removed from society, how do they receive communion?

01:41:46.000 Also, happy birthday Lydia.

01:41:47.000 Oh, the debunkers?

01:41:48.000 Debunkers, yeah! 1.00

01:41:49.000 They have a priest who will visit them on occasion who comes and he's extremely intellectual so they will not catch the stupid from him. 0.99

01:41:57.000 I can't give you the name, he's a very famous, very intelligent priest and he just goes and he dispenses, he distributes the Eucharist to them. 0.97

01:42:04.000 But that's a great question.

01:42:05.000 Because they could not be as brilliant of debunkers if they were not in touch with those.

01:42:10.000 Corey Cass says, with how fast you can talk, you should be an auctioneer rather than those weird ad voices.

01:42:14.000 This 20 can be the first bid on whatever you're auctioning.

01:42:16.000 What are we auctioning?

01:42:17.000 Tickets?

01:42:18.000 We do have an auction system, which is going to be launched on the website at some point.

01:42:22.000 And we're going to auction off stuff.

01:42:23.000 Like we got special custom colorway shoes.

01:42:26.000 Oh, yeah.

01:42:27.000 That everybody who works here got a pair of, I think.

01:42:30.000 And then we've got like drawings that we're collecting of all of the guests.

01:42:35.000 It was incredible.

01:42:36.000 I love them.

01:42:36.000 really amazing portraits. Those we're gonna hold on to for a really long time.

01:42:39.000 Maybe at some point we'll auction them off as like a fundraiser.

01:42:41.000 I love them.

01:42:42.000 We're also going to be doing... the auction system was built for tickets to

01:42:46.000 the compound to hang out at our events. So there's gonna be a handful of

01:42:50.000 first-come first-serve for everybody who's a $25 member or more and then

01:42:54.000 there's going to be auction based because it's not like we can invite the

01:42:58.000 It's not a public venue or anything.

01:43:00.000 So we actually are really limited in how we do it.

01:43:02.000 And then there's an option for, like, people who don't have time to sit around refreshing, waiting for the post to appear.

01:43:07.000 And then the people who pay more, who are refreshing.

01:43:09.000 So it's like, you know, we're balancing it.

01:43:12.000 Eman says, Happy birthday, Lydia.

01:43:14.000 Mine was on the third.

01:43:15.000 Yeah, we are both Leos.

01:43:16.000 Seamus, love your work.

01:43:17.000 My favorite video is the mostly peaceful Maxine Waters.

01:43:20.000 Thank you so much.

01:43:21.000 Good stuff.

01:43:22.000 God bless you.

01:43:24.000 Let's see, Boeskel.

01:43:26.000 California just mandated all healthcare workers must be vaccinated, as well as all hospital visitors.

01:43:31.000 This may be the last straw for me staying in California.

01:43:34.000 I think it's hilarious, all the people who are still in New York, when I've been saying like, get out of the cities, now they're like, oh no, I can't believe this is happening!

01:43:41.000 And I'm like, I can absolutely believe it's happening.

01:43:43.000 And I'll tell this, anything that keeps a sensible person, such as this particular viewer out of California, or pushes them out, it's probably a good thing.

01:43:50.000 I think there's a silver lining here.

01:43:53.000 Okay, let's see.

01:43:54.000 Well, I assume if he's watching your show he won't, but just please don't vote the way most Californians vote when you leave California.

01:44:00.000 Yes.

01:44:01.000 You know what we do?

01:44:02.000 says Tim Pool Independent Party for President 2024 quote defund the police

01:44:06.000 guns for all yes we should you know we do we turn all the police departments

01:44:10.000 into Department of Gun Services the buildings are already there

01:44:15.000 You've already got staff.

01:44:17.000 Many of them have had basic training with weapons.

01:44:19.000 And you walk in and you fill out the form like, you know, this is who I am.

01:44:22.000 I can prove who I am in here.

01:44:23.000 I'm gonna get my free gun.

01:44:25.000 I know a lot of people are like, that's gun tracking.

01:44:25.000 We gotta do that.

01:44:27.000 And I'm like, well, what if someone comes and gets two guns?

01:44:31.000 You know, we can't let him have two guns, Tim.

01:44:33.000 Yeah, but we're not socialists.

01:44:34.000 Bro, you know what?

01:44:34.000 What's the deal?

01:44:36.000 You don't know what his needs are.

01:44:38.000 Someone goes in there and they need two guns.

01:44:39.000 Just let him have two guns. 0.64

01:44:40.000 If there's one thing our taxes should be funding.

01:44:42.000 No, I'm kidding.

01:44:43.000 If taxes, and look, if the government was in control of distributing guns, we'd have a shortage. 0.97

01:44:49.000 More than fine with not giving two guns.

01:44:51.000 In fact, I don't think the government should give anyone a gun.

01:44:53.000 Yep.

01:44:56.000 CC Covey says, if legalized, a machine gun would cost you, what, four grand?

01:45:01.000 You can rent a U-Haul and drive it... down, uh... Yeah, I'm not gonna read the rest of that one.

01:45:06.000 I knew where that was going!

01:45:07.000 Yep, nope.

01:45:09.000 Levi says, Ian, you made a metaphor weeks ago about the Cleveland Browns and you're from Ohio.

01:45:14.000 Are you a Browns fan?

01:45:15.000 Go Browns!

01:45:15.000 I used to be.

01:45:16.000 It was pain, it was like masochistic though.

01:45:18.000 It was like 12 years of loss.

01:45:19.000 Terrible Browns.

01:45:20.000 It was like 22 years of loss.

01:45:22.000 Sad.

01:45:22.000 I thought, uh, what's his name, Tim Couch was gonna get us there.

01:45:26.000 Barney Boyle says, what's the deal with Michael Malice style anarchists?

01:45:30.000 Um, like real anarchists?

01:45:31.000 What's the deal?

01:45:33.000 Was there more to the commentary?

01:45:35.000 What's the deal with Michael Malice?

01:45:37.000 That's all I got.

01:45:39.000 Ian Shizop, I can't pronounce that, says, not gonna lie, I think the beanie look needs to go in the near future.

01:45:45.000 I'm gonna let you guys know something.

01:45:45.000 What?

01:45:49.000 You know what?

01:45:51.000 I do this because I want to do it.

01:45:53.000 That's it.

01:45:54.000 That's it.

01:45:55.000 I don't wear suits.

01:45:56.000 I never did.

01:45:56.000 I never wanted to.

01:45:58.000 And I don't do things I don't feel like doing.

01:46:00.000 And if I didn't feel like doing this show, I wouldn't do it.

01:46:03.000 That's it.

01:46:04.000 The upside is you're gonna look really good in wigs.

01:46:07.000 I'm just saying, like, I'm not gonna... I just do what I feel like doing.

01:46:11.000 I'm not gonna change myself for any kind of norms or structures or whatever.

01:46:14.000 If it got to a point where, like, what I did wasn't effective, then I'd just take my van down to the river and go fishing.

01:46:21.000 If people were like, keep the beanie on, Tim, keep the beanie on, would you be like, nah, I'm taking it off?

01:46:25.000 No, I'd be like, I'm just going to do what I feel like doing.

01:46:28.000 What if I just started wearing a suit every show?

01:46:30.000 You should.

01:46:30.000 And then I was the fancy one.

01:46:32.000 Exactly.

01:46:33.000 And then everyone was like, well, this guy's wearing a suit.

01:46:35.000 He must be the host.

01:46:36.000 I might start wearing headbands.

01:46:37.000 And then YouTube changed the name to SeamusCastIRL because they're like, there must be a mistake.

01:46:41.000 The guy in the suit must be the podcast host here.

01:46:44.000 And then the Daily Beast started writing about me.

01:46:46.000 They're like, we're so sorry to actually, is this guy in the suit?

01:46:49.000 He's the problem.

01:46:50.000 It's not Tim.

01:46:51.000 General Kale says can't wait to see a social worker try talking down a six foot four three hundred pound man wielding a sword while he's covered in dookie.

01:46:58.000 Well, how does that make you feel dude?

01:47:00.000 Well, this is the thing I've said this before the whole social worker thing all it's gonna do is create a two-tier system because the people who are calling the police for reasons that would necessitate a social worker are Supposedly necessitated social worker rather than a police officer tend to be people in higher income areas where you don't have as much of a reason to call the police because there aren't dangerous people.

01:47:20.000 So what do you end up with?

01:47:21.000 Well you end up with a situation where the social workers are being called in the wealthy suburbs and in the inner city people call the police because that's where they're generally dealing with more actual emergencies and so the funding for social workers gets diverted to the suburbs because that's where they're all going and the funding for the police departments get diverted to the inner cities and you end up with a two-tier system. The people dealing

01:47:43.000 with brutality and police misconduct are going to be the people in the inner cities, not the people

01:47:50.000 getting the social workers.

01:47:52.000 That's exactly how it's going to shake out. Is it day 512 of the lockdown?

01:47:58.000 I don't know.

01:47:58.000 Might be. Well, it was March of 2020. So yes, it's something it's over. It's yes. It's well over here

01:48:05.000 probably at 512 and a half. I think 512 sounds about right.

01:48:08.000 Yeah. I thought it was 15 days.

01:48:11.000 Oh, but then it's been a really long 15 days. Yeah. Dorsey Woods says, so I'm going to take

01:48:17.000 your guns and police then continue to spend thousands on personal security because my

01:48:21.000 life is more valuable than that of you peasants. 0.98

01:48:24.000 Yes.

01:48:24.000 Happy birthday, Lids.

01:48:25.000 Tim, look for me in your pitches emails.

01:48:27.000 Very cool.

01:48:28.000 That's basically what they do.

01:48:29.000 Yep.

01:48:31.000 Bynon Lee says, Tim, I work for a large gun manufacturer and we are understaffed and overworked trying to fill demands for handguns.

01:48:37.000 Some lines have been working 60 hours a week plus optional weekends.

01:48:37.000 Wow.

01:48:41.000 Wow.

01:48:42.000 Man, crazy.

01:48:45.000 That's crazy, yo.

01:48:46.000 If it's any consolation to the incredibly difficult schedule, you are doing very important work.

01:48:51.000 Absolutely.

01:48:52.000 Yep.

01:48:56.000 Ryan Wales says, we should ban all people with the last names Bush from holding public office.

01:49:00.000 What a beautiful world it would be.

01:49:02.000 Please clap.

01:49:03.000 Yes!

01:49:03.000 Please clap.

01:49:04.000 Sorry.

01:49:05.000 Yeah.

01:49:06.000 Jeb!

01:49:07.000 Exclamation point.

01:49:08.000 Nate Parrott says, dude, Ian, yes, the US isn't invaded because there's a gun behind every blade of grass.

01:49:14.000 If we could arm everyone.

01:49:15.000 P.S.

01:49:16.000 I had to pull off to the side of the road and park to send this.

01:49:18.000 Happy belated birthday, Liz.

01:49:20.000 Thanks for being safe.

01:49:20.000 Awesome.

01:49:21.000 I like that.

01:49:21.000 Be careful, yeah.

01:49:24.000 All right, let's see.

01:49:26.000 Brayden T says, if a bad guy flees the U.S.

01:49:29.000 into Canada, different police forces with different laws and tactics come together to work out a solution.

01:49:33.000 Why couldn't private security agencies do the same?

01:49:35.000 Dave Smith, 2024.

01:49:36.000 Yeah, I was gonna- They could, but that's not what I said.

01:49:39.000 Oh, okay.

01:49:40.000 If Little Johnny from Hillside, where they pay the Hillside security, Geeks.

01:49:45.000 I think it's from Baldur's Gate.

01:49:45.000 Sure.

01:49:45.000 I don't know.

01:49:47.000 the amulet of...

01:49:49.000 Gicks.

01:49:50.000 Of gicks, there you go.

01:49:51.000 Sure.

01:49:52.000 Is that a real thing from something?

01:49:53.000 I don't know, I think it's from Baldur's Gate.

01:49:54.000 It's a ring.

01:49:54.000 Oh, okay.

01:49:55.000 It's worth five grand.

01:49:56.000 And he goes to this town, and then the Valleyside police come over saying,

01:50:01.000 he's got our thing.

01:50:02.000 The Hillside police are sworn and paid to protect the residents of Hillside,

01:50:06.000 and they're gonna be like, we don't know, we don't care,

01:50:08.000 this family pays us.

01:50:10.000 Not only that, the family of the kid can be like, we're paying, you protect us from these people, they're lying.

01:50:16.000 Cooperation would be difficult because of competing financial interests.

01:50:19.000 The thing about the United States and Canada is that the governments have treaties, and they don't care about you as a peasant.

01:50:24.000 The issue is when hillside security is a small entity that operates only in this one place, without the support of the people, they don't exist.

01:50:33.000 So they could cooperate, absolutely.

01:50:35.000 But it's basically when, you know, there's two groups.

01:50:38.000 I've seen it over and over and over again.

01:50:40.000 The leftists complain all day and night about how cops aren't held accountable, but then they say snitches get snitches.

01:50:46.000 Bro, if you're telling people not to rat anybody out, why do you complain when cops don't do it?

01:50:50.000 That's exactly the ideology you're espousing.

01:50:53.000 So there you go.

01:50:54.000 Amen.

01:50:57.000 Let's see.

01:50:57.000 Okay.

01:50:58.000 Thousand Foot Deep End says, Ian's correct. 0.79

01:51:00.000 My former HPD sergeant aunt said domestic disturbance calls are the most dangerous.

01:51:05.000 Yesterday in my hometown, a cop was shot multiple times while responding to one.

01:51:08.000 The officer survived and the suspect was arrested today.

01:51:11.000 You're going into their house, which is also very threatening to them, you know, and they're already heightened and enraged.

01:51:16.000 So it's a really crazy.

01:51:19.000 Stoker Roilet says, I've gotten out of more tickets by being respectful.

01:51:22.000 Dome lights on, glove boxes open, hands on steering wheel.

01:51:26.000 AA book and Bible on passenger seat.

01:51:27.000 Pictures of my kids on Dash.

01:51:29.000 Happy birthday, Lydia.

01:51:30.000 I got you something real nice.

01:51:32.000 I don't think you should open your glove box.

01:51:34.000 But I'm not sure how the rules work on that one.

01:51:37.000 I've heard stories where if you open your glove box, you're consenting to a search.

01:51:41.000 Or something like that.

01:51:42.000 An entire car search.

01:51:43.000 Yep.

01:51:44.000 Really?

01:51:44.000 That's crazy.

01:51:44.000 Yeah, I've heard that.

01:51:45.000 I've never heard that.

01:51:47.000 I think that maybe, though, if they ask you to open your glove box and you comply.

01:51:49.000 Then they say, he agreed to let the car be searched.

01:51:52.000 And then they can broadly search your car.

01:51:54.000 I don't know if that's true.

01:51:55.000 It's actually really crazy, because I think the exclusionary rule means, like, the cop can't even look in the window.

01:52:00.000 Like, there was a story in Chicago, something about where the cop pulled somebody over and then looked through the window and saw something, and they were like, you can't do that, because you didn't have the right to search the vehicle.

01:52:09.000 Fourth Amendment.

01:52:09.000 Oh, okay.

01:52:10.000 You know what cops do?

01:52:11.000 They pull you over and they go, hey, sirs, Yes.

01:52:15.000 I smell pot out of the car. 0.98

01:52:16.000 It's like, dude, I hit a skunk a mile back is ridiculous. 0.99

01:52:16.000 Dude. 0.99

01:52:19.000 But no, it's, it's insane that you could just, because how can you prove that later?

01:52:19.000 Nope.

01:52:23.000 Well, why'd you search his car?

01:52:24.000 I smelled weed.

01:52:25.000 Okay.

01:52:26.000 You don't need any proof for that.

01:52:27.000 That's so funny.

01:52:28.000 I had a cop do that to me.

01:52:29.000 I was getting home late because I do post-production after the show.

01:52:32.000 Cause I rolled a stop sign.

01:52:32.000 He pulled me over.

01:52:34.000 He followed me to my house.

01:52:35.000 It's great.

01:52:35.000 And he's like, have you been drinking?

01:52:37.000 And he was like, have you been drinking?

01:52:38.000 And I was like, no, I was at work.

01:52:40.000 Like I literally just left work like half an hour ago.

01:52:42.000 And he's like, Okay.

01:52:44.000 I was like, what the heck?

01:52:45.000 I didn't realize that was the thing they did until that last... Well, asking you if you've been drinking is different from saying, I smell pot, get out of your car.

01:52:51.000 I had a cop pull me over and then walk up to the car and say, good.

01:52:54.000 He's like, he's like, good evening, sir.

01:52:55.000 It's up.

01:52:56.000 Oh, whoa, whoa.

01:52:57.000 I smell marijuana.

01:52:58.000 And I was like, what?

01:53:00.000 Are you kidding, dude?

01:53:01.000 I don't smoke.

01:53:03.000 And he was like, out of the vehicle.

01:53:04.000 And then I was like, excuse me.

01:53:05.000 He said, out of the vehicle now.

01:53:05.000 And I was like, got out of the vehicle.

01:53:07.000 And then it's a long story.

01:53:08.000 I told it before, but yeah, that happens.

01:53:10.000 Yeah, that's, that's horrible.

01:53:12.000 Christopher Knowles says, used to be very liberal.

01:53:14.000 Took a World Wars history class in college and changed over a quarter.

01:53:18.000 Ignorance goes a long way.

01:53:20.000 Corporate media is America's platonic cave. 0.98

01:53:23.000 Shout out to M. Harris' book, Cow Pigs, Wars, and Witches. 1.00

01:53:26.000 Alright.

01:53:31.000 All right, let's see what we got.

01:53:33.000 Flick Store Entertainment says, Tim, the small business administration gives grants to business owners, but people don't know what they are doing.

01:53:39.000 Yeah, I get that.

01:53:40.000 But I'm saying like, it's better than UBI.

01:53:43.000 Limited, one time, here's your opportunity, and then you get nothing to complain about.

01:53:47.000 Well, I tried to start my business and failed.

01:53:49.000 Okay, well, you had your opportunity.

01:53:50.000 No talent was lost.

01:53:52.000 And maybe later in life, you'll get more wisdom and skill and talent, and then you'll succeed.

01:53:56.000 But you know, we give people a chance, I guess.

01:54:00.000 Ginger Vitus says, do you notice Saki keeps saying carrot or stick?

01:54:03.000 They're using phrases treating us like animals.

01:54:05.000 This originates from Churchill talking about Nazis.

01:54:08.000 Carrot and stick?

01:54:08.000 Oof.

01:54:09.000 I didn't know that.

01:54:10.000 Oh yeah.

01:54:11.000 Ham Zinka says, in a true UBI system, we would all be paid the same regardless of employment or not.

01:54:18.000 Those who don't work survive in poverty.

01:54:20.000 Those who do are rich, having both the UBI income and the employment business income.

01:54:25.000 And then many of those people who receive the UBI, instead of spending it on rent or food, spend it on ho-hos, twinkies, or drugs.

01:54:31.000 And then we say, we have a crisis of people spending their money improperly.

01:54:34.000 Yes, exactly.

01:54:35.000 I mean, I can imagine it occurring where People are spending this money either on ho-hos, Twinkies, things that are not good for public health, so to speak, or on things that the media could say are bigoted or offensive.

01:54:46.000 Maybe they're supporting alternative media outlets with their money the way some people did with their stimulus checks.

01:54:51.000 And then I think it starts to become a matter of, well, do we need to examine and give people UBI, like, on the basis of some kind of social credit score?

01:54:59.000 I mean, again, that's extremely hypothetical, but I think it's within the realm of possibility.

01:55:03.000 Once the government starts giving you money, it's not as if there are never strings attached to that.

01:55:07.000 Bug HQ says supply prices up 30%, labor rates up 50%.

01:55:12.000 This war on small business is ridiculous.

01:55:15.000 When I try to talk to people about it, all I hear is crickets.

01:55:17.000 Much like you'd get when you buy from Bug HQ.

01:55:20.000 Did I do it right, Mr. Michael Knowles?

01:55:22.000 Happy birthday, Lids.

01:55:23.000 Bug HQ.

01:55:24.000 We could use some crickets.

01:55:25.000 Throw them to the chickens. 0.58

01:55:26.000 We're gonna have a couple chicken babies hatching soon. 1.00

01:55:29.000 We had some rotten eggs, unfortunately.

01:55:31.000 There's bacteria in the egg, I guess.

01:55:33.000 They go bad.

01:55:34.000 Yeah, it's a couple weeks.

01:55:36.000 They were getting ready to hatch too and had to pull them out.

01:55:39.000 But I think we may have still five, you know, growing and maybe gonna hatch soon.

01:55:44.000 It's not easy.

01:55:45.000 That's why they lay so many eggs. 0.95

01:55:47.000 Yeah.

01:55:48.000 Yeah.

01:55:50.000 Let's let's carry on my good friends.

01:55:50.000 All right.

01:55:54.000 I don't know what that super chat is in reference to.

01:55:57.000 John Smith says, in Starship Troopers, the Federation emerged naturally during a time of great chaos where veterans began banding together to stop looting and rioting.

01:56:05.000 Huh.

01:56:05.000 Interesting.

01:56:06.000 That sounds good.

01:56:10.000 SeriouslyJK says, I think you're all forgetting about free enterprise in the US.

01:56:13.000 Decentralization will catapult the exponential increase in economic productivity, creating a national black market for counterfeit vaccine passports.

01:56:20.000 Defund my brain.

01:56:22.000 Yeah, that's illegal though.

01:56:25.000 Interestingly... Talk to your lawyer about... No, I mean, you should.

01:56:29.000 But my understanding is it's only illegal if you forge the CDC logo.

01:56:33.000 But with, like, I guess with the... I don't know if that would apply to the mobile apps they do.

01:56:39.000 Yeah, I really think some hacker's gonna come up with a thing that, like, it's gonna be, you know... Alright, let's see.

01:56:49.000 Kevin Brady says, I quit my welding job to be a filmmaker full-time after three years of working about 80 hours plus a week.

01:56:55.000 I just negotiated a part-time marketing job at my former employer.

01:56:58.000 You can do it without college.

01:57:00.000 In fact, I recommend you do it without college.

01:57:02.000 Good for him.

01:57:03.000 Honestly, I love hearing that.

01:57:04.000 Someone, you know, like somebody going after it.

01:57:06.000 I like it.

01:57:07.000 That's a risk and good for him.

01:57:08.000 I like it for you actually, dude.

01:57:09.000 That's yes, because follow it.

01:57:11.000 But this has been on my mind a lot.

01:57:13.000 I feel like the United States has become a country of artists and like writers.

01:57:18.000 For sure.

01:57:19.000 So I think there's definitely been an argument to be made that welders are more important than filmmakers, but we have a lot of filmmakers right now putting out horrible ideas, and we need people producing media that's going to represent positive values.

01:57:30.000 And also, if it is really the case that he was more productive and valuable for society as a welder, he's not going to make money making films.

01:57:37.000 And he'll go back to welding.

01:57:38.000 But I think it's good for him that he's trying.

01:57:40.000 I really do.

01:57:41.000 Because he doesn't want to look back on his life and think, what if?

01:57:44.000 What if I could have done this?

01:57:46.000 What if I could have contributed something different that I would be more passionate

01:57:49.000 about contributing and I never did?

01:57:51.000 So good for this guy.

01:57:52.000 I think it's more fun to create art.

01:57:54.000 But like what we have is a country of like people making movies and then talking about

01:57:59.000 it and complaining about it and people writing stories about how people are complaining about

01:58:02.000 it and then writing stories about them.

01:58:03.000 And like, we're all making money as we do it, which is this this fairy tale fiat worthless thing that we think is like numbers in a bank account.

01:58:12.000 Like, what's the real value?

01:58:14.000 The food's being imported.

01:58:15.000 The gasoline's being imported.

01:58:17.000 So, I think there is value to the arts.

01:58:20.000 What happens is when there is an economy which is robust and well-functioning enough for there to be a lot of excess wealth, then there are people who can do things like be political commentators or create movies or television shows, the things that don't directly...

01:58:34.000 Increase the supply of basic necessities and So I think you're right that an economy can become lopsided at some point But that's basically just what bubbles are and so if there's a bubble there, it'll pop I would say again I really want to continue to affirm this guy because if the filmmaking thing doesn't work out.

01:58:51.000 He has a very valuable skill He's not ever gonna have trouble getting a job as a welder though.

01:58:57.000 I I have said I would stop making predictions about the future given the past couple of years, so maybe I'm wrong there.

01:59:01.000 Maybe we just have this excess of welders at some point, and he should stick to filmmaking even if it hasn't quite panned out.

01:59:08.000 Just think about how great it's going to be when we're a nation of nothing but musicians and filmmakers.

01:59:12.000 It's going to be fantastic.

01:59:12.000 Everyone's going to be a YouTuber.

01:59:14.000 Everyone's starting a podcast.

01:59:18.000 And this is the problem.

01:59:18.000 Exactly.

01:59:19.000 When you have something like UBI, it allows for a gargantuan bubble, the likes of which could never occur in a freer market.

01:59:26.000 Vaush actually said that we should print quadrillions of dollars to pay for that.

01:59:30.000 Did you hear him say that?

01:59:31.000 It was really quick and quiet.

01:59:32.000 He said it as we were all talking and no one, we didn't really go into it, but I was like, I want to pick his brain on that.

01:59:37.000 What?

01:59:38.000 Print quadrillions of dollars?

01:59:38.000 Like how?

01:59:39.000 Yeah.

01:59:40.000 Cause we were like, we have, we've printed 28 quadrillions.

01:59:41.000 Venezuela just slashed six zeros off their currency.

01:59:44.000 Maybe he was joking, but he said it really quiet and fast.

01:59:47.000 He could have been joking.

01:59:48.000 But he was saying in defense of UBI, it was like print quadrillions.

01:59:48.000 You could have misheard.

01:59:51.000 I don't, I don't know.

01:59:52.000 I would, I'd like to ask him.

01:59:53.000 So the money is worth nothing?

01:59:54.000 That's what would happen.

01:59:56.000 Welcome to Venezuela! 0.93

01:59:57.000 The dollar would lose value.

01:59:59.000 Even people who are proponents of this MMT fantasy will tell you that in order for inflation not to occur when you're injecting copious amounts of currency into the economy you have to have a very productive economy and you need to reach full employment basically.

02:00:14.000 And right now, we have just printed an insane amount of money after shutting the economy down for months at a time.

02:00:19.000 So, let's see how that works out.

02:00:21.000 Again, even the people who have all these fantasies about us being able to print whatever money we want under an MMT structure could look at something like this and say, not gonna be great for the value of our dollar.

02:00:32.000 The Survival Prepper says, keep preaching preparedness, Tim.

02:00:35.000 Our financial supply chain and governmental issues may seem small should the House Foreign Affairs Committee minority staff report about China and the origins of COVID.

02:00:42.000 Preparedness now is insurance for the future.

02:00:45.000 It absolutely is. 1.00

02:00:47.000 Yeah, I mean, I think people who don't have some level of, just like, emergency supplies are just arrogant and stupid. 1.00

02:00:55.000 Amen. 1.00

02:00:55.000 Especially in cities, of all places. 1.00

02:00:58.000 Man, escape from New York, but I don't think I should have a first aid kit, water, or food.

02:00:58.000 Yeah.

02:01:02.000 It's like, I'm not telling you to stock up and fill up an underground bunker with 30 years of beans, dude.

02:01:07.000 I'm talking about like, what are you going to eat when it rains?

02:01:10.000 A hurricane knocked out power in New York for a couple weeks and it was hard to get stuff.

02:01:14.000 What did you eat?

02:01:15.000 We're not saying you have to, though.

02:01:16.000 I actually wouldn't advise against this, but no one's saying, you know, get months or years of emergency supply food, though, actually, I would recommend that.

02:01:24.000 But it can even just be a couple weeks.

02:01:26.000 It can really just be a couple weeks' worth of emergency supply food.

02:01:30.000 And let me add the caveat.

02:01:31.000 If you have the financial means where you're capable of doing so without compromising having your short-term needs met, you should get months' worth of emergency supply food, because it literally cannot hurt you to have it.

02:01:42.000 But yeah, it can even just be like four weeks worth of emergency supply food I just I don't understand how anyone could be against that there are people who will scoff at that idea of being you know prepared with emergency food and I just The the smooth brain thinking there to me is just unbelievable Delhiopolis says Ian doesn't know what he's talking about.

02:02:05.000 The lockdowns in Australia are nowhere near as strict as what they had in CA and New York.

02:02:09.000 Not even close.

02:02:10.000 Yeah, New York had checkpoints.

02:02:13.000 Like, you couldn't even enter certain places.

02:02:15.000 Aren't people getting dragged out of their houses in Australia?

02:02:18.000 I don't know if they're getting dragged out of their houses.

02:02:20.000 They're just like 10 months ago for a Facebook post or something.

02:02:25.000 That, I think, was in the UK.

02:02:27.000 Isn't that considered part of the UK Commonwealth?

02:02:30.000 I mean, technically, but come on, they're different countries.

02:02:32.000 Are you sure it wasn't Australia?

02:02:33.000 Remember that woman screaming?

02:02:34.000 There was a woman who had a mask exemption. 0.99

02:02:37.000 I thought people were getting dragged out of their houses in Australia.

02:02:40.000 If I'm wrong about that, I apologize.

02:02:43.000 I know in, I think, in Canada and the UK that happened.

02:02:46.000 Canada.

02:02:47.000 Yeah, Canada had a rough two right now.

02:02:48.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:02:49.000 All right, let's just grab one more.

02:02:51.000 Let's see what we got here.

02:02:53.000 Um, we'll just, uh, we'll wrap up on this last one.

02:02:55.000 Destiny Prats says, happy birthday, Lids.

02:02:57.000 Mine's in two days.

02:02:58.000 Thank you.

02:02:58.000 Oh, happy birthday.

02:02:59.000 There you go.

02:03:00.000 All right, everybody, follow us at Timcast IRL, basically everywhere.

02:03:03.000 You can follow me personally at Timcast.

02:03:05.000 Go to Timcast.com because we will have a bonus members podcast coming up around 11 or so p.m.

02:03:11.000 And, you know, sign up, help support our journalism.

02:03:13.000 You'll get an ad-free experience as well.

02:03:16.000 And the mainstream media is clearly angry at the success and expansion of our site.

02:03:20.000 That's right.

02:03:20.000 We're going to be launching a non-profit, so I'm talking with some lawyers about this, like proper formation.

02:03:25.000 We're going to create a separate entity, which is going to be independent, and we're going to hire fact-checkers.

02:03:30.000 And the goal is to fact-check articles as well as take a random sampling from different news organizations.

02:03:36.000 And then run those articles against the SPJ.

02:03:40.000 So these are like the standard journalistic ethics.

02:03:42.000 And then if they don't label opinion, if there's factual inaccuracies, if they don't address conflicts of interest, if they don't announce corrections and we can see manipulations to the article, these will get an axe.

02:03:55.000 Then we'll do a random sampling of a hundred articles from the past three months, and then we'll say X out of a hundred are good.

02:04:02.000 So you might see some, you know, clickbait leftist site getting a 30 out of a hundred, some conservative site getting a 30 out of a hundred.

02:04:08.000 The New York Times, I think, would probably be like a 60 out of a hundred.

02:04:10.000 Huffington Post would probably be a zero.

02:04:11.000 I mean that literally because I think it's all opinion and unlabeled.

02:04:15.000 You can't put up an article that is opinion and not say it's opinion and a lot of these like websites do this So Daily Beast and Slate and so on that they probably all be zeros just across the board Daily Wire says it's an opinion conservative, you know and commentary But you know, we'll see as well because they might actually get a zero too.
