00:00:16.000boys and girls and the It is I, Seamus Coghlan of ShimCast IRL.
00:00:19.000We have a very special show for you today with a very special guest.
00:00:22.000We're going to be talking about Rand Paul being kicked off of YouTube.
00:00:25.000We're going to be talking about the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines decreasing.
00:00:30.000We're also going to be talking about a judge who ruled against Giuliani, Mike Lindell, and Sidney Powell in their effort to dismiss the defamation lawsuit brought about by Dominion.
00:00:40.000So with me, we have Timothy Cast, my good friend.
00:02:28.000great so so uh will in your legal opinion all that we didn't give up we
00:02:33.000didn't get we didn't get to the promos we doing what are you talking about
00:02:36.000what for we get started I'm shim cast I said there's no promos today all right
00:02:40.000before we get into the news my friend this is from me we're taking the show
00:02:45.000Go to TimCast.com, become a member, and you'll get access to an ad-free experience and exclusive episodes of the TimCast IRL podcast available to members only.
00:02:53.000And we'll have one of those up for you tonight.
00:02:56.000Usually we talk about things that YouTube doesn't allow us to, and I love it when the media tries to smear us over that.
00:03:00.000They're like, he's moved his rule-breaking content off of YouTube.
00:03:04.000It's like, but YouTube told me to do that.
00:03:38.000And as many of you may be knowing, Mike Lindell's cyber symposium is currently ongoing, where they have a bunch of speakers, a bunch of experts.
00:03:45.000Mike Lindell's offered $5 million to anyone who can prove that his data isn't the actual voter data, and they're going through screenshots, they've got hash data and stuff.
00:03:57.000One of the most challenging things for a regular person is trying to understand what it is they're presenting because a lot of it is, you'll see IP addresses, you'll see networking details, you'll see hash codes, and you're gonna be like, I don't know what those things mean.
00:04:12.000And that can be, well, in my opinion, it can probably lead people to make false assumptions.
00:04:18.000So look, they're still doing their symposium.
00:04:35.000Back when Dominion announced they were suing Mike Lindell, he actually came out and said he was, quote, very happy to hear that Dominion had sued him.
00:04:41.000Quote, now I can get to the evidence faster.
00:04:44.000It's going to be amazing, he said, yet that he plans to continue releasing more movies, more documentaries about alleged election fraud.
00:04:50.000My issue there is if he was really happy.
00:04:53.000That he was being sued because that would give him the ability to enter discovery against Dominion.
00:04:58.000Why would he try to dismiss that lawsuit?
00:05:05.000I favor bolstering confidence in our election systems.
00:05:10.000And the mainstream media says that everything Mike Lindell is doing is not doing that.
00:05:13.000But the problem is you already have people who don't have confidence in it.
00:05:16.000So, I think in order to restore confidence, you need to give people the investigations, you need to say, look, when you're subpoenaed, here's the data, and just go through the motions.
00:05:24.000Because this country is horribly, horribly divided.
00:05:27.000But I gotta say, in this story, uh, you know, as you probably guys, uh, you know from the intros that Seamus tried doing.
00:05:35.000That I did do until you stole it from me.
00:06:02.000But this is making fun of one of the experts that Powell and Lindell were relying on in their lawsuit to explain why they were justified in bringing this, that they were being authentic, etc.
00:06:14.000They said that this expert has, quote, been ordered to pay more than $25,000 after finding that the expert violated consumer protection laws by misspending money she raised.
00:06:23.000And then the judge goes on to say, quote, that expert has also publicly claimed that George Soros, President George H. W. Bush's father, the Muslim Brotherhood, and leftists helped form the Deep State in Nazi Germany in the 1930s, which would have been a remarkable feat for Soros, who was born in 1930.
00:06:39.000Look, it may seem like, oh, that's like, whatever, a cute joke.
00:06:43.000Federal judges don't tell jokes in their opinions, and if they're telling jokes that you are
00:06:50.000There's another instance where, let's see if I can find the next particular nasty quotation.
00:06:55.000But isn't it bad for a judge to be joking in this way and making, you know what I mean?
00:07:00.000It's weird, but it's also kind of the nature of the arguments that he would inevitably
00:07:05.000be saying some things that are kind of ridiculous.
00:07:07.000So basically, a defamation claim, you have to prove actual malice.
00:07:11.000That's one of the things you have to prove under New York Times v. Sullivan, that someone either knowingly lied or showed a reckless disregard for the truth.
00:07:16.000I think we're actually all pretty familiar with that now because defamation comes up a lot in modern internet culture.
00:07:23.000So in order, one of the ways that Dominion is alleging actual malice on the part of Powell and Lindell is they're saying no reasonable person could believe these things.
00:07:34.000So assuming they are reasonable, they're clearly reckless in making these statements.
00:07:39.000Like their statements are so outlandish that you have to be reckless to make them.
00:07:48.000That's why my attitude on this is like, look, if somebody comes out and they're like, I'm going to spend millions of dollars on a cyber symposium and hire all those people and offer up $5 million.
00:08:10.000I'm just saying in terms of, like, the general environment when it comes to, you know, the media's approach or the judge saying no reasonable person could believe these things, I think the judge should be, like, Present your evidence.
00:08:41.000Like, he'll be deposed, and there'll be immense amounts of Discovery on both sides, right?
00:08:46.000Certainly Lindell will be able to go to Dominion and try and get information out of them that proves Lindell's claims, but Dominion will be able to go Lindell and demand his factual basis and every bit of his facts for saying otherwise.
00:08:58.000I've read a lot about the allegations, the anomalies, the states.
00:09:05.000Admittedly, I think there's some things that should be investigated, absolutely.
00:09:09.000There's a video of a woman, and she puts the ballots in multiple times.
00:09:12.000But the problem is, that in and of itself isn't enough evidence to prove anything.
00:09:16.000But I do think it's like, okay, we'll do an audit.
00:09:20.000If you've got half the country and half the country pitted against each other to the point where there's violence in the streets, it's like, Let's just calm down and sort this thing through.
00:09:27.000And if you're confident that everything was perfect and the most secure, as I think the DHS said, then let's give the people the opportunity to feel confident and secure in this.
00:10:03.000Now, this is a little bit different than what we're talking about, the Lindell situation, but the fact that they're tallying votes in private with proprietary software code, I believe, is the scandal.
00:10:12.000That's, I agree, and that actually lends itself back to the defamation suit, which is really interesting, because Dominion was damaged by this.
00:10:21.000I'm telling you right now, I don't care.
00:10:25.000In regards to moving forward with our elections, because obviously I care if there was impropriety.
00:10:30.000Personally, I think a lot of people are incorrect in their assumptions about what happened, and I think I keep hearing these things like, oh March 3rd, March 5th,
00:10:37.000March 11th, oh April 4th, like they keep saying people still believe that Trump is
00:11:01.000People are pointing out, is it going to allow you to print ballots at home?
00:11:04.000I think people need to realize voter integrity is the big issue.
00:11:07.000Now, certainly I'm all for investigations, whatever.
00:11:10.000But when it comes to Dominion, what I'm seeing, looking to the future, you know, I look forward to seeing whatever it is the experts in the symposium end up with, but, you know, I digress.
00:11:48.000And if it wasn't for this news cycle, Mike Lindell and the Symposium and all this stuff, we wouldn't even be talking about the fact that we have a company with proprietary code that we can't actually see.
00:12:00.000Right, well, if that's all that was causing Dominion's damages, actually, Lindell and Powell and whoever would be in much better shape because they would be able to say that it's actually truthful claims, right, that would have caused the damages.
00:12:12.000The problem here is that what's alleged in the complaint, I mean, and I don't know exactly the extent of what Lindell said, but I don't think that Dominion's lawyers would go out there and falsify quotations from Lindell.
00:12:23.000I think they could go into the record and find them.
00:12:25.000It's the kind of thing you'd get caught on and really...
00:13:04.000Of all of the claims and accusations that keep changing, that keep evolving.
00:13:08.000I'll admit, I think there are things that were anomalous, that definitely give me pause that we should look into.
00:13:14.000But I've just been sitting here waiting, like, with every guest we've had on the show talking about this, and I won't call every single person, but even people like Bannon, I'm just like, please show me something.
00:13:25.000And it's always like, well, there was an anomaly here, and I'm like, I get that.
00:13:28.000But saying, like, a man walked through a dark alley at midnight doesn't prove he robbed the bank, you know what I mean?
00:13:34.000Yeah, there's like a lot of, it feels very like kind of, there's a lot of obfuscating going on.
00:13:39.000Like they're trying to like, and then also extrapolate, you know, aggressive extrapolation.
00:13:44.000And I mean, I'm speaking as someone who, again, I recorded the video of the poll watcher being kicked out of Philadelphia, of a polling station in Philadelphia that went viral on election day.
00:13:52.000Like, I mean, you're not talking to a person who thinks these elections are pristine or that there's some, there aren't some serious problems.
00:13:58.000But the stuff that they've been saying, I mean, I remember, you know, when Sidney Powell originally alleged stuff like Venezuela and Russia cooperated to rig our election.
00:14:06.000Remember the German servers and the shootout with the CIA in Germany or whatever?
00:14:13.000Yeah, can you lay out some of the specific claims they've made that seem,
00:14:16.000I mean, I don't wanna like, I don't have it in front of me, so I have to remember it,
00:14:20.000but there was a press conference where it was, and it was like a Trump campaign press conference
00:14:24.000with Giuliani, Jen Ellis, and Sidney Powell, I think, and maybe one or two other people,
00:14:30.000but I know Sidney, those three spoke, and Sidney was the one who just out of nowhere
00:14:34.000started making allegations about the foreign actors colluding to like rig the election.
00:14:41.000And I remember thinking at the time, And I was like, wow, that's an aggressive claim.
00:14:43.000I wonder what she's got to back that up.
00:14:44.000And it turned out we haven't seen anything substantive to back that up.
00:14:49.000There's weird business connections, weird international individuals and business people and all that stuff.
00:14:55.000But the challenge is, and I think this is important for any for the people who genuinely believe all of these claims and think Trump is going to be reinstated.
00:15:03.000You go to a regular person who doesn't pay attention to the news and you tell them these things and they're going to walk out the door in two seconds.
00:15:10.000Well, and also this reinstatement thing.
00:15:12.000I mean, the reinstatement claim, like, even if everything Powell and Trump and Lindell are saying is true, that doesn't lead to Trump being reinstated.
00:15:27.000Are you going to then impeach the vice president?
00:15:28.000I guess their plan is to have Trump run for house and then hopefully make him speaker of the house and then somehow get him in the line of succession.
00:15:54.000Nearly a third of Republicans still believe Trump will be reinstated this year in poll released two days before Conspiracy theorists predicted it would happen.
00:16:18.000I All of these claims require tremendous leaps of faith about what's happening with the government.
00:16:26.000And even if you believed everything, all the impropriety and all the accusations and all the conspiracies, you would have to then believe that there is an element of the government that is going to remove the current administration to allow a path for Trump to come back in and be reinstated somehow.
00:16:43.000And I'm just thinking like, To get from point A to where everyone is at with this reinstatement thing, it's like going from A to Z. Like, you gotta go A, B, C, D, you gotta go each and every step.
00:16:56.000And that is such a tremendous leap, I just don't understand how people can believe that's gonna happen.
00:17:31.000It's not like I'm saying he's going to grow wings and fly to the moon or anything like that, but it's just like, I would rather buy a lottery ticket.
00:17:37.000You know, like the likelihood is just astronomical.
00:17:40.000I, I, I'm a bit, I suppose the right word would be flabbergasted by people who would be willing to believe something so Tremendous could and would occur because the amount of things that would have to happen for that process to play out is astronomical.
00:18:08.000Because otherwise it sounds like you're saying... No, no, no, no, no.
00:18:11.000I am saying the hypothetical world, you know, the hypothetical world where even this, that Biden would be impeached over this stuff is a hypothetical world Biden literally knew about everything.
00:18:26.000But even if you got there, like, it would be equivalent to Democrats in 2016 saying, well, if we prove Trump won the election, like, colluded with Russia to win the election, then Hillary will be president, right?
00:18:47.000I obviously can't watch all because I'm working.
00:18:49.000But they claim that NASA's involved with elements in China and the deep state and stuff.
00:18:55.000And I'm like, OK, OK, slow down there.
00:18:58.000You cannot open your presentation by telling regular people who don't know what's going on that NASA is involved in some kind of plot because you lose people, man.
00:19:15.000NASA, the poorly-funded organization that literally had to give up the space shuttle because they didn't have enough cash.
00:19:23.000Don't you understand, Will, that behind the scenes—that's a front!
00:19:26.000Everybody knows that NASA's actually the Illuminati.
00:19:31.000Right, well, they decided to actually stop going to space and start, like, secretly plotting coups against the elected government.
00:19:36.000I should mention, I was curious about this number that you brought up, that a third of Republicans believe that Trump will be reinstated this year, so I just went and took a look at the data that they pulled this from.
00:19:45.000So the question they asked was, how likely do you think it is that former President Donald Trump will be reinstated as U.S.
00:19:54.000And out of 2,000 people surveyed, I think the percentage was 10% saying very likely, 9% saying somewhat likely, and then 13% saying not very likely, then not very likely at all, or don't know, or no opinion.
00:20:06.000So it's not that a third believe he will be, it's that a total of a third lean towards maybe.
00:21:02.000In this world, for a Rube Goldberg-like political operation to occur in which Trump becomes speaker because Nancy Pelosi steps down, and then there's a snap emergency election where they're like, we're gonna vote for Trump, and for some reason, progressives protest and say, we'll vote for Trump too.
00:22:07.000At the very end of the symposium, Mike Lindell stands up, without saying a word, and presses enter on a keyboard, and documents appear on the screen, and all the journalists in attendance are like, I can't believe it!
00:22:19.000I work for the New York Times, and even I must admit, it's true!
00:22:22.000And then they write fervently, like, wow, Mike Lindell, oh, he's correct, and then all these things.
00:22:27.000And then, all of a sudden, Biden is, like, seen in a plane, and he's flying to China, and Kamala Harris is, like, crossing the border to Canada, and they're like, what do we do?
00:22:34.000And then the Secret Service picks up Trump, and they drive him to the White House.
00:23:28.000Probably the same guy who rigged the Dominion machines.
00:23:32.000It seems like Dominion's getting out ahead on this one because they know, I can't say for sure, but the fact that they did stuff in secret.
00:23:52.000Oh, I mean, I don't think that's it at all.
00:23:55.000I think it's as simple as their billion-dollar business is decimated by what a lot of people said about them.
00:24:01.000Because, think about it from the perspective of, if you're offering election machines, you need to have a completely unbesmirched reputation.
00:24:11.000Even if other people are saying things about your machines that are false, if half the country believes them, Then your business is dead.
00:24:17.000Which means that what, you know, all the things that were said about Dominion crushed their business in a way that caused them hundreds of, likely hundreds of millions of dollars in damages.
00:24:25.000I'll tell you this, first and foremost, I said we gotta have open source.
00:24:28.000Either they free the code, like Ian often says, this is the one area where I agree, because we need to be able to see what those machines do.
00:24:41.000And when he went to court, They said, you know, we've got the evidence that shows you were speeding, and then he requested the court subpoena the source code for the radar gun.
00:24:50.000And he said to the judge, for all we know, it's a random number generator.
00:24:53.000The people who make the radar gun need to prove that their gun works this way and how, and show the code to the defense so the defense can understand the evidence presented against them.
00:25:03.000I think that if we're gonna have elections, we gotta have the ability to look at the code.
00:25:08.000That being said, Based on everything that's happened, the accusations made against Dominion, I think Dominion should be purged from every single voting system, every county, just for one reason.
00:25:21.000Half the people in this country are skeptical, are concerned, are scared, have lost confidence.
00:25:51.000Elections, people need to have public faith in elections, and no one company's fate or business success comes up over that.
00:25:59.000At the same time, if that company was lied about, In a way that caused them this damage and made it so nobody could use them for an election rigging machine.
00:26:07.000Then they have a legit defamation claim against the people who lied about them.
00:26:10.000Look, Michael Lindell's not a poor guy.
00:26:11.000And I think they're suing for like a billion dollars.
00:26:14.000But they're squeezing blood out of a turnip.
00:26:51.000No, you have to free the software code.
00:26:53.000Because you don't know that it's doing anything nefarious, but they could have secret backdoor things that say, if this vote tallies this, then flip to this.
00:27:05.000It's not even about saying that we believe there's a grand conspiracy and this company's involved.
00:27:09.000It's about saying, we want to make sure your code works properly and that in matters of public election, we can see how... We need transparency in government, is a good way to put it.
00:27:19.000I recognize there's confidential, there's secret, there's top secret and stuff.
00:27:31.000That's actually completely antithetical to what elections are designed to do, which is make people... The entire point of having elections is to make the losing side agree that they lost.
00:27:42.000That's so that we have peaceful transitions of power, right?
00:27:46.000And the problem I have right now with everything that's going on with, like, Arizona and Wisconsin and stuff is that, you know, they're issuing subpoenas in Arizona and they're actually getting pushback.
00:28:12.000Yeah, or we change the way our elections are run.
00:28:15.000It should be to a point where it's stupid to even consider that the elections are fraudulent.
00:28:20.000If you were in Israel and you were like, oh, that election was rigged, every Israeli would just laugh at you and be like, it's just not possible.
00:28:29.000The measures we have in place for election integrity, what you have to do to be able to vote, what you have to do to verify that vote, the custody of the ballots, it's so... But you mean that literally, like Israel's system is super secure?
00:28:41.000Israel's system is super secure, right?
00:28:43.000They don't use electronic machines, right?
00:28:59.000I don't necessarily agree with that either because if you hand someone a stack of papers and then you trust them to go count it, they don't have to.
00:29:06.000I would imagine a number of different people verifying that they counted it properly.
00:29:10.000But I agree, right, that there's an advantage to the computer technology where you can have all of the data stored perpetually for everyone to look at whenever they want.
00:29:18.000Or just for you to verify with like a QR code that only your account can scan and read to verify that your vote is being tallied as you set it.
00:29:26.000And then it's kind of up to you to verify your own vote.
00:29:29.000But at least there's a public available database where you can do that.
00:30:20.000So earlier today, I did a segment, and it was probably one of the easiest segments I've ever done because I was just so grossly offended by the media.
00:30:51.000GOP pounces on claims that Joe Biden caused the prices to go up.
00:30:57.000And then I see every fact check after fact check after fact check saying false, false, false, false, false, Republicans are lying, Republicans are lying.
00:31:05.000First and foremost, The framing of all these fact checks was, Joe Biden shutting down Keystone XL and banning fracking on public land did not cause prices to go up.
00:31:16.000I'm not a fan of most of these guys, but one of the things I think it was Grassley who said, inflation by bad policy is causing all prices to go up, of which one of the core basic necessities for an average person is gas.
00:31:31.000And inflation means that gas will go up as well.
00:31:33.000Now you can argue, oh, now you're arguing semantics and just trying to save face.
00:31:49.000I wonder why there's a lack of supply.
00:31:50.000Then you get quarts saying there is no shortage of gasoline in this country.
00:31:55.000Because they're writing about different things.
00:31:57.000And I'm like, okay, now we're getting the semantics of what it means that there's a short supply or a shortage.
00:32:03.000Low supply doesn't mean shortage, because low supply means it's available, but shortage means, no, okay, they're the same thing.
00:32:08.000So you can't have the news coming out screaming, there is no shortage of gas, while they're saying prices are going up because there's a shortage of gas at the same time.
00:32:14.000This is what the media does, and it's ridiculous.
00:32:16.000I'll tell you this, Joe Biden is the cause of the high gas prices for, I think, what, one, two, three reasons.
00:32:21.000First, Keystone Pipeline shutting it down.
00:32:25.000That pipeline was not going to be transporting crude anytime soon, but the banning of fracking on federal land, on public lands, and Keystone caused speculators to publicly state that they felt this would result in a low supply in the future and high prices.
00:32:42.000So they were buying now, driving prices up, which reaches the gas pump for you, the consumer.
00:34:33.000There's also the extended unemployment, which has driven up, I mean, driven up the cost of labor substantially, which is, I guess, not inherently a bad thing.
00:34:41.000I think, you know, workers should get paid more generally, but I'd like to do it in a way that doesn't require us to pay people who can go work or should be able to go work and pay them, like, We're still paying extended unemployment benefits in a world where there's like a million job openings.
00:36:17.000Yeah, I mean, this is something you, I mean, well, this is because they live in the cities where it's like, there was already a high minimum wage in a lot of elite cities, so the different, effectively what the extended unemployment did is it creates its own very high minimum wage.
00:36:29.000Exactly, it resets the market equilibrium.
00:36:30.000Right, because it's like the opportunity cost of going to work or not going to work, right?
00:36:34.000And so in a place with a high minimum wage already, it's not actually going to change the labor market that much.
00:36:38.000In a place that's in the rural area, where people were getting paid close to actual minimum wage, things are dramatically different.
00:36:45.000Like, I was driving down to North Carolina.
00:37:17.000So we have a local diner and we went there, only one section was open and it said they were closing early.
00:37:23.000Like I think they were closing at like 6pm or something.
00:37:25.000I posted about this, I can't remember the exact time they were closing, but closing early and I was like, Whoa, this is a diner!
00:37:30.000Like, diners, aren't they supposed to be open 24-7?
00:37:32.000You come in for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
00:37:34.000And then we went in, and they were short-staffed.
00:37:36.000And they were like, we're desperately trying to hire cooks.
00:37:38.000Somebody superchatted us the other day saying that at their IHOP, they had to ship in a cook from a different store because the IHOP would have had to have closed because it had no staff.
00:38:02.000But also, given what you've just said, it becomes clear to anyone who didn't already recognize this that our framing is totally off here because the way it's stated is X new jobs were created this month.
00:38:13.000But these aren't new jobs, so to speak.
00:38:15.000I mean, they are, but they came in and shut down the entire economy, and now some of the jobs that we used to have are being reinstated.
00:38:22.000Though you can't even quite say that they're being reinstated, because a lot of the small businesses that were shut down are never going to reopen, and now these services are being provided for by larger companies.
00:38:31.000But when we get these job numbers, I mean, this is getting the economy back to quote-unquote normal.
00:38:38.000Yeah, and it's just, I mean, it's incredibly sad.
00:38:42.000It's going to change the way, I mean, what it's going to do to restaurants in this country, especially in areas that aren't wealthy, it's going to change it to like Sweden.
00:38:50.000Like in Sweden and Scandinavia with socialism, people don't go to restaurants very often because they're absurdly expensive.
00:38:56.000And I think that's ultimately where we're going.
00:38:57.000We're just going to get to a point where normal working class people can't go to restaurants or just only do it
00:39:28.000Now here's what's fascinating, because I'll agree with you on this point, when I was in Bergen, Norway, We were, I was walking down this like, you know, I can't remember where it was.
00:39:35.000It was like a boulevard, a market street kind of boulevard.
00:39:38.000And there was a street vendor with a styrofoam plate and fried fish fillets and french fries.
00:41:06.000But just because I don't like it doesn't mean that we should have some authority come in and just sledgehammer the industries and the things that people like.
00:41:37.000No, I'm saying his name several times.
00:41:39.000Michael Bloomberg said that poor people, according to Bloomberg, are too stupid, and according to Bloomberg, the government needs to spend money, according to Bloomberg, for them because they wouldn't know what to buy properly and they would buy bad things and hurt themselves.
00:41:52.000That's an indicative mentality of this elite.
00:41:54.000I don't like saying elite because I don't think they're doing a very good job.
00:41:56.000So they're obviously low level, but they're up, they've got these positions of power and they really think people are like cattle.
00:42:02.000They think that they can't do things for themselves and they can't think for themselves.
00:42:05.000So they build these institutions to take care of them.
00:42:15.000I mean, generally speaking, that is the progressive perspective.
00:42:17.000So when you hear these lefties come out and say things like, well, we need a single-payer system because people can't just choose their health care in the private market.
00:42:23.000Now, first of all, our health care system has many issues.
00:42:26.000I think that there's a lot of reform that has to take place in order to straighten it out.
00:42:29.000But the argument that the best possible solution for people is for their money to be funneled through the state so the government can make that decision for them is exactly embodied in what Bloomberg said.
00:42:37.000So even though he said the quiet part loud, I don't think it's all that uncommon an attitude.
00:42:43.000I'm trying to find something from this video I watched recently, but I can't find the graph he used.
00:42:47.000The funny thing is they're the biggest idiots themselves.
00:42:51.000They simultaneously believe that, for example, it's conservative Trump voters who are the biggest anti-vax population.
00:43:22.000They seem to be marketing towards a left-wing demographic even though their claim is that it's generally Trump supporters who need to be reached.
00:43:29.000The CIA was doing that too with their recruitment campaigns.
00:45:54.000I'm not highlighting his video to rag on him in any way.
00:45:56.000I think his video is actually very fascinating.
00:45:58.000He shows the Microsoft Work Trend Index.
00:46:01.00041% of the global workforce are considering a job change in the next year, with 46% planning to make a major career transition.
00:46:07.000The reason I show the video is because among him and his friends and his circle and his worldview, he's advocating for people to quit their jobs.
00:46:23.000Now that Inc.com said it's not about money, and I'll tell you this, it's not about money.
00:46:27.000The reason it's not about money is because unemployment and the eviction moratorium have given people the opportunity to consider things outside of money.
00:46:36.000Because of that, It is because of the unemployment, but people aren't looking for work because of money, because they have it.
00:46:43.000So when Wendy's says, we'll give you $1,000, like, it's not about the money.
00:47:12.000I'm all for if this works out well to the betterment of mankind.
00:47:17.000I'm not a fan of the authoritarianism, of destroying someone's job, someone's goals, someone's livelihood, because you think you found a better way.
00:47:26.000Yeah, I mean, I simultaneously think that it is in many ways, and it has been, the rational thing to do, to quit a minimum wage job in the world where you're, or if you can manage to finagle it so you're getting unemployment, because unemployment early on was like 1,000 a week, and even now, I mean, when you add up state and the federal booster, it's like 700, 800, and that's free money.
00:47:48.000Right, so say you had a kid, and they were working a minimum wage job or whatever, they had like a high school diploma, You'd be like, go take, quit, and go do, like, training.
00:47:58.000Go do, go do something that you can change your job and make more money.
00:48:01.000Like, that's, that's the rational thing to do in a world where, you know, the reason, the rational thing in the world to do when you're not happy with your current salary or your current job, and somebody's going to pay you a lot of money to not be in that job.
00:48:12.000Can you explain this to me, Will, with unemployment?
00:48:15.000You pay taxes on unemployment when you receive them.
00:48:42.000I don't know if... I found it very unethical to receive an unemployment check that I've already paid into, then to have to pay taxes on that check.
00:49:19.000We're seeing people don't want to work fast food anymore.
00:49:23.000Well, it's only possible because of this unemployment stuff.
00:49:26.000If I were to envision a future where there was substantially less fast food, people are more likely to garden, grow their own food, be responsible for their food, and eat healthier.
00:49:35.000If people were able to and more likely to work on things they were passionate about, I think it's a good thing.
00:49:41.000I think it's a waste of energy for people to be working fast food and places like that.
00:49:45.000The problem is I don't believe the ends justify the means.
00:49:48.000So we can look at this vision of this beautiful future where everyone's eating healthy, they're exercising, everyone's politically active to a certain degree and calm and shaking hands and high-fiving.
00:50:01.000The problem is, in order to get there, you get some Dysphotic wingnut who says we are going to destroy as many lives as possible to get it
00:50:08.000Yeah, I mean, there's just, I don't think there's the right to just destroy so many people's businesses or to, you know, dramatically change them.
00:50:19.000It's like the eviction moratorium, right?
00:50:21.000The end result of the eviction moratorium is not no more landlords, it's no more small landlords, right?
00:50:26.000Because you'll be in a world where, oh, it turns out we need to have clout to be landlords, because otherwise the government might just stop us from being able to evict terrible tenants.
00:50:34.000So then you have, you just have massive, large, Landloring companies like you do in major cities, Bazuto, Avalon, all those sorts of companies.
00:50:41.000The government's actually subsidizing them right now.
00:50:44.000This is what scares me the most though is that, the reason why I pulled up this video and that article is that, I think Seamus mentioned, the jobs we're seeing the openings are from people quitting.
00:50:56.000Some of these jobs are new with companies popping up saying we need to hire people.
00:50:59.000But when you combine the fact that people want to quit, people are quitting, and then people are advocating for others to quit, if you think the economy is good right now, you must be watching CNN.
00:51:13.000I would say it's also extremely dangerous.
00:51:14.000I mean, look, we had an economy which had many flaws.
00:51:18.000And some would even argue in some ways was a house of cards just based on its foundations with the Federal Reserve banking system.
00:51:23.000But that's a whole other topic to get into.
00:51:25.000I think the point is, generally speaking, the people who owned businesses, a large number
00:51:30.000of them were people who took initiative early on.
00:51:33.000They decided that they were going to forego immediate reward and work for years and years
00:51:39.000on something that they would not see a financial return on for quite a bit, which is how it
00:51:57.000But I don't know that that's going to weed people out the way the system used to so that only the most dedicated people who really believe in their vision are engaging in that.
00:52:05.000I think a lot of people who really aren't made to run their own business are just going to end up wasting a lot of time and tax money.
00:52:10.000Well, I don't know what's gonna happen to those people.
00:52:13.000What, are they gonna sit around and just eat food?
00:52:15.000You know, just buy things and extract from the system, and then those who want to work are just basically fueling and funding the people who don't work?
00:52:25.000I've talked about this for decades now, basically, since I was a kid.
00:52:29.000The philosophical consequences of technological advancement.
00:52:33.000When you get to the point where you start eliminating jobs due to automation, robotics, et cetera, Those people are gonna lose their jobs, and it's not their fault.
00:52:42.000You could spend 20 years as a master of this, you know, I don't know, a lathe or whatever.
00:52:46.000Lathe master, whatever those jobs are called.
00:53:12.000And so we have to ask ourselves, how do we transition To making sure people don't lose access to the economy and resources when we make them obsolete through technological development.
00:53:22.000The problem is, there is no point at which we flip the switch on.
00:53:26.000It's not like, everybody's got to work right now, and technology advanced, so flip, now no one works.
00:54:16.000Meanwhile, the people in the rural areas, the people who are farming, the people who are mining, the people in construction, the plumbers, the firefighters, the cops, the contractors, they do hard work constructing and building and making things for society.
00:54:29.000That's not getting automated anytime soon.
00:54:32.000But those jobs, we have AI writing garbage articles.
00:54:35.000Those people get free money, and they're chilling in their cities, and it's not a big deal for them.
00:54:39.000Everyone else, they get left holding the stick.
00:54:41.000Eventually, people are going to say, hey, wait a minute.
00:54:43.000I'm growing all this food, and you're just taking it from me?
00:54:49.000Well, in something you said sort of touches on something I mentioned earlier, but didn't really get into.
00:54:54.000I mentioned our economy kind of being built on a house of cards, and you were talking about savings.
00:54:58.000The fact that a lot of people's businesses got shut down, and maybe they could have saved more.
00:55:01.000Well, unfortunately, our economy has been structured in a way which disincentivizes saving, and that goes into this mentality of not wanting people to build the necessary virtue of deferring gratification.
00:55:13.000Or, I mean, I should really say, in many ways, that's the basis of all virtue.
00:55:17.000We have a system where it's not exactly a shock that people are going to be inclined towards becoming takers rather than makers as soon as the opportunity presents itself because we haven't exactly set things up in a way that incentivizes responsibility.
00:55:29.000Even if you had saved enough to keep your business afloat, for example, 5% of all of your savings would be gone today from last year without you spending a penny.
00:55:37.000But Max Keiser, he said he thinks it was like, what, 10 to 14%?
00:55:40.000He thinks the government's lying about the number.
00:56:11.000No matter how much the currency inflates, no matter how much the currency is devalued, They'll still accept free money if it gets them something of value.
00:56:19.000And so I think I've mentioned this on the show before, but even the people with this modern monetary theory fantasy acknowledge that if your economy isn't productive, printing more money is going to lead towards inflation.
00:56:34.000So even the people with the most permissive monetary policy imaginable would tell you that we're going to get inflation out of what just happened over the past year, and we're going to continue to get inflation.
00:56:48.000And, you know, maybe that's a price we're willing to pay because, you know, I mean, I think in terms of especially when you're talking about the beginning of the pandemic, a ton of people tossed out of their jobs and effectively having their livelihoods taken from them as a result of government regulations and lockdowns.
00:57:00.000OK, yeah, we should compensate them, right?
00:57:02.000The way I always viewed that was, the government shutting down your restaurant, that's a taking that you need to be compensated for, right?
00:57:09.000But that doesn't mean that that's a continuing thing.
00:57:13.000And I think what the Democrats want to do, and it's one of the reasons Biden's so terrible, is they just want to pretend that it's still pandemic world, and we should just open the floodgates and spend another $10 trillion.
00:57:24.000Well, I think they realize that they could get away with it without people doing much.
00:57:48.000If I can't read Axios, I don't know what I can read, so...
00:57:51.000New data on coronavirus vaccine effectiveness may be a wake-up call.
00:57:55.000A new preprint study that raises concerns about the mRNA vaccine's effectiveness against Delta, particularly Pfizer's, has already grabbed the attention of top Biden administration officials.
00:58:05.000The study found the Pfizer vaccine was only 42% effective against infection in July, when the Delta variant was dominant.
00:58:13.000Quote, if that's not a wake-up call, I don't know what is, a senior Biden official told Axios.
00:58:19.000Driving the news, the study conducted by Enference and the Mayo Clinic compared the effectiveness of the Pfizer-Moderna vaccines in the Mayo Clinic health system over time from January to July.
00:58:30.000Overall, it found the Moderna vaccine was 86% effective against infection over the study period, Pfizer's was 76%, Moderna's was 92% against hospitalization, and Pfizer's was 85.
00:58:41.000But the vaccine's effectiveness against infection dropped sharply in July, when the Delta variant's prevalence in Minnesota had risen to over 70%.
00:58:49.000Moderna was 76% effective against the infection, and Pfizer was only 42% effective.
00:58:56.000The study found similar results in other states.
00:58:57.000For example, in Florida, the risk of infection in July for people fully vaccinated with Moderna was about 60% lower than for people fully vaccinated with Pfizer.
00:59:07.000Although it is yet to be peer-reviewed, the study raises serious questions about both vaccines' long-term effectiveness, particularly Pfizer's.
00:59:15.000Quote, based on the data that we have so far, it's a combination of both factors, says Venki Soundararajan, I'm trying to pronounce that right, a lead author of the study.
00:59:26.000The Moderna vaccine is likely, very likely, more effective than the Pfizer vaccine in areas where Delta is the dominant strain, and the Pfizer vaccine appears to have a lower durability of effectiveness.
00:59:37.000Now, we saw Israel, they made similar claims that a large portion of the people in hospitals were fully vaccinated and the effectiveness is being reduced.
00:59:47.000I'm not going to tell you what to do because I don't give medical advice.
00:59:49.000You go talk to your doctor about your medical advice.
00:59:51.000This is coming from the Biden administration.
00:59:53.000We're getting a statement from the Biden administration.
01:00:30.000Well, I mean, I think the thing is we're headed, it's endemic, we're headed towards COVID as something that just is part of our life in the same way that the flu is part of our life, right?
01:00:37.000Like, and it's part of something we deal with every year.
01:00:40.000I mean, there's a flu shot available, a new flu shot every year, right?
01:00:43.000That helps you out against the variants they think are flowing around and reduces The severity.
01:00:48.000That's what we're headed towards with COVID.
01:00:49.000Now, what does that mean for your behavior?
01:00:52.000I think, you know, I'm seeing people like freaking out and lockdowns and masks.
01:00:56.000I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, none of that.
01:00:59.000Because like that, that's a pandemic measure.
01:01:01.000That's a, we're trying to eradicate it.
01:01:02.000That's, we're trying to get it completely eliminated.
01:01:05.000And so, and we're doing a short-term measure until we get to vaccines and another mechanism.
01:01:10.000But now we have vaccines and vaccine technology.
01:01:13.000And so I think that's where we need to think we need to push this going, like fight against mandates and lockdowns and instead say, look, we need to embrace the idea that I don't think we should fight nearly as hard against like booster shots as we should against like continued mass mandates and lockdowns.
01:02:22.000It just feels like we did a lot of things that didn't work and they keep just saying, we'll just keep doing the same thing over and over again because they don't know what else to do.
01:02:30.000Right, like they have to do something.
01:02:35.000We blame the authorities, but it also starts with a huge chunk of the population being absolute paranoiacs about it.
01:02:41.000At a point, you know, I mean, this is just something... Did you guys hear that people continue to blindly trust the authority on this, right?
01:03:29.000I might steal that and make a cartoon of you.
01:03:32.000In Germany, they're advising people to get a third shot because a nurse was accused of giving people saline instead of the vaccine.
01:03:41.000Yeah, and they said they didn't know why she did it, but that she had posted anti-vax stuff or vaccine skepticism online.
01:03:47.000Think about how insane that is in the other direction.
01:03:48.000Like, certainly we can talk about mandates and lockdowns being bad, it's extreme, but how extreme is it if someone goes to the doctor, the doctor recommends them medication, they say, thank you, doc, I will agree to this medication, and the nurse goes, I ain't giving them that, and then secretly gives them something else.
01:04:05.000If they die man to right right crime like you need to go to jail for a long time for that
01:04:10.000You don't get to you don't get to deceive someone into getting there was actually I remember there was a little
01:04:15.000just saline It was just saline, which is harmless, but that sounds
01:04:19.000criminal and these were elderly people too. Yeah criminal, dude
01:04:23.000I'm sure you inject me with something. I didn't ask for man, and you deceive me into thinking
01:04:28.000It was the thing that would protect me from the disease I need protection from and then I go ahead and die from
01:04:31.000that disease because I was unprotected Like, manslaughter.
01:04:36.000All about people just having informed consent and making the choices that's what's right for them to think that this nurse would decide, I don't care what you think, I don't care what you've read, I don't care what the doctor said, that's insane.
01:06:20.000One, they were saying that this one doctor said they've experienced people with the Delta variant in the ICU, and their standard treatment protocol didn't work.
01:06:31.000Interestingly as well, their standard treatment protocol calls for wearing masks.
01:06:36.000So even the people who are being censored because they're talking about these other treatments are telling people to wear masks.
01:06:54.000I mean, I've said for a long time that I hope one of the things that comes out of all this is that, you know, it is now a social norm that if you're coughing in public, you should be wearing a mask, right?
01:07:02.000Like, if you're knowingly sick, like, stay home, and if you are gonna go out, wear a damn mask, and don't try and reduce the amount you spread to everybody else.
01:07:09.000That's the other crazy thing, too, like, when I see people walk, when I go outside and I see someone with a mask, I'm like, I don't know, whatever.
01:07:57.000Seeing the, you know, the frontline coalition, you know, whatever, these doctors who have been talking about ivermectin, when they come out and they say like, hey, Delta variant, this stuff's not working, you know, I just, I'm like, there's a vaccine, you know what I mean?
01:08:10.000Like, would they, would they support that?
01:08:13.000It seems like they're just doing studies on what they've been doing, which is a very intelligent and ethical thing to do as a scientist, as doctor.
01:08:20.000So, but if they haven't looked into that other stuff yet, but they're just kind of showing the flaws and, you know, how it's changing the Delta variants different than the other.
01:08:28.000Yeah, but should they then be like, our new protocol includes getting a vaccine and wearing a mask, or whatever?
01:08:33.000Which is funny, because then it goes right back to the CDC and Fauci.
01:08:35.000It was so weird to fight against the vaccines, because you figure, I mean, I remember so many of the same people who were like, oh, this isn't a big deal, and oh, we should head for herd immunity, were then the ones who were the biggest vaccine skeptics, and that was always...
01:08:45.000Very strange to me because I felt like the best argument against all the sort of social distancing, public health-type measures was a vaccine that would help protect you so that you could live your life normally.
01:08:59.000I also think people had a suspicion that it didn't matter how many people got vaccinated, there was going to be some push to continue the lockdowns.
01:09:07.000Look, I keep saying, informed consent, I don't give medical advice, go talk to a medical professional, but when story after story after story comes out about some guy being like, oh no, I'm dying, if only I got the vaccine, or that woman in Alabama where she was like, I take their hand and they say, please give me the vaccine.
01:10:03.000But it's one of the most visceral, grotesque experiences you can have, I've heard.
01:10:10.000Other than that, how are you going to great reset people's eating habits?
01:10:14.000Well, I think just, look, it's, in the words of Frederick Douglass, I believe, it's easier to build strong men than repair broken ones.
01:10:21.000I think it more or less comes down to educating the next generation.
01:10:25.000I don't think it's a matter of anything else than that.
01:10:27.000You try to help build virtue in the population, which is already there, but most of your hope is in educating the young.
01:10:35.000My concern is that kids mimic their parents, and if the parent's unwilling to change their diet, the kid may be eating healthy at home because he's forced to, but when they leave the house, they're going to start mimicking what they knew.
01:11:08.000Joe Biden walks up to the building like a Godzilla Joe Biden, punches a hole in the foundation and then starts falling and he catches it and he's slowly easing it down to the ground.
01:12:47.000You're actually hitting on some very fundamental questions in property law.
01:12:54.000I'm just saying, my position, honestly, as a Catholic and a moral realist, I do think property is a legitimate, real concept.
01:13:01.000I don't just think it's a social construct.
01:13:03.000I believe there is a legitimate injustice done when something's stolen from one, and it's not just socially constructed.
01:13:08.000Right, well, kind of one of the ways to think about it is, actually to kind of flip that around a little bit, you know, people will say when they're like looting, oh, looting isn't that bad, it's just property.
01:13:19.000It's like, no, property is about someone's relationship to physical things.
01:13:22.000And so it actually, you actually are injuring That social construct if you will but like that that that relationship and so you are injuring the person exactly and so That's I think you know if you can you can concede the sort of like social Constructedness of property and still realize that it's actually really it's actually more important.
01:14:28.000I don't know if he was the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, but he was the most important in the early days.
01:14:35.000And the basic thesis of the case was there were two guys who had a competing claim to land, and one guy's kind of title, chain of title, ran through Indians who had granted it, and another's chain of title ran through, like, post the Indian conquest and somebody else going there.
01:14:50.000And Marshall's like the guy who had it after the Indian, whose chain of title doesn't involve the Indian transfer.
01:15:05.000So it's like when you say the aliens came in and just took over, like, it probably kind of felt like the aliens came in and took over when colonists showed up and disturbed the, you know, the Indian land claims.
01:15:17.000So when the alien comes here and says you don't own it, then it's true.
01:17:19.000Whereas barter is like saying our relationship can end right now because we are equal, and so we can depart.
01:17:25.000So it's something that sort of evolved between hostile tribes that occasionally needed to exchange things.
01:17:29.000But in terms of your interpersonal relationship with people that are all forever, there was always debt.
01:17:34.000And so sometimes that's official and like marked down but other times that's something like they just kind of it's sort of socially understood and you kind of figure it out and who's who you know it's vague and whoever knows but so one really funny example I think I think it's the Easter Islanders don't quote me on that because I don't know but they had a system where it's like it's socially terrible if you have to turn down somebody's request for something from you Like, if somebody makes a request of you, if you can accede to it and give them what they need, you have to, and it's really rude not to.
01:18:01.000And the only check on that is that eventually, if you try to exploit the system and request enough from people, they'll just kill you.
01:18:06.000Because you're such an asshole and it's exploited it so much, they're finally like, after the 20th request where you try and exploit the system, they kill you.
01:18:25.000But it's, it's, it's, it's a bunch of different tribes and a bunch of different things.
01:18:28.000Some groups, like, you know, barbarian hordes or whatever, you can talk about that, and like Asia, they just take whatever they wanted from whoever they wanted and then just exploit it.
01:18:37.000It seems like BlackRock is exploiting it right now.
01:18:39.000That people that are these big multinational corporations that are being subsidized by governments to buy property away from small business owners and people that can't afford it are exploiting the property ownership and the debt system.
01:19:53.000But one example would be like Walmart.
01:19:56.000There were instances of Walmart lobbying for minimum wage increases in certain areas because their competitors could not handle a minimum wage increase, and they could.
01:20:03.000So it would put ma and pa shops out of business.
01:20:06.000Yeah, we see, you know, like Starbucks will open a Starbucks next to a mom-and-pop shop and then lower their prices to ridiculous, below-cost numbers because they're subsidized.
01:20:15.000The mom-and-pop shop collapses and then, you know, Starbucks takes over.
01:20:24.000I don't know how you solve problems like this.
01:20:26.000Right, because as soon as you get the government involved in telling a company what it can and can't charge, people freak out and call it fascism or socialism.
01:20:32.000I'll tell you what one of the problems is.
01:20:34.000I think the easiest way to identify one of our biggest political problems is the leftist argument that for every one homeless person there are ten empty homes.
01:20:45.000Then they say homelessness is a choice our society makes.
01:20:48.000Because these are like, imagine you go to a little kid who's never actually owned a house, repaired a house, remodeled a house, dealt with utilities or plumbing and sewage pipe leaks.
01:21:24.000How do you just put someone in a house?
01:21:27.000Now, when you have empty investment properties, I'm not a big fan of people just buying up houses, driving up prices, and then no one uses them.
01:21:41.000However, They need to make sure that the utility pipes don't burst and fires don't start.
01:21:45.000But you put a person who's not responsible for their lives, to a certain degree, in a house, and then the house starts falling apart, and then what, the house catches fire and burns other people's houses down?
01:21:56.000And if we have a society where people just can only come up with these most simplistic and surface-level solutions that aren't actually solutions, that's what we're getting policy-wise.
01:22:27.000And early in our country's history, I mean, you were out on your own paying
01:22:32.000your way by the time you were 16 or so.
01:22:34.000So once you got to 21, you had multiple years of real-world experience caring for yourself and possibly even a family.
01:22:39.000In fact, likely a family by the time you were 21.
01:22:42.000And so you, A, had a vested stake in society and, B, quite a good amount of experience at that point.
01:22:47.000Now, 18-year-olds, vote, who have never lived on their own, have never held on a job, certainly aren't raising families in the vast majority of circumstances, and if they are, Well, yeah, yeah, generally speaking.
01:22:58.000I mean, no, I should say it's good that they keep the kid, though, and don't kill it, but I'll say this.
01:23:04.000It's unbelievably bizarre that there are people who actually want to push the voting age down to 16, that this is something that was even being discussed.
01:23:09.000Right, well, I mean, it's cynical, and it's just pure polit— I mean, I'm also— Who wants uninformed voters?
01:23:16.000And I mean, I'm also somewhat cynical.
01:23:18.000Like, I realize that most of these schemes are designed to increase the number of Democrat voters, so I'm perfectly happy to entertain schemes that will increase the number of Republican voters.
01:23:25.000Or make Republicans more do you think we should have a maximum voting age?
01:23:28.000No, no, we're 31 older people vote Republican. Why would I why would I want to exclude my own voters?
01:23:34.000I think people that are very old are out of touch with how society works, especially when you look at currency law
01:23:39.000I mean, maybe that's you maybe the way that maybe society.
01:23:41.000Yeah, but maybe they have wisdom. Yeah, maybe that's maybe they
01:23:45.000Maybe they're definitely out of touch with the way says technology functions
01:23:50.000Sure, but a lot of voters are and they're also out of touch with everything else, too
01:23:55.000So how about out of touch with technology?
01:23:58.000Sorry, just let me interject because I have worked with older people.
01:24:00.000Someone being out of touch with technology does not make them less wise, less interesting.
01:24:05.000It does not give them less interesting stories.
01:24:07.000I think that older people should continue to have a say in our community as long as they're able to like things.
01:24:15.000And it's funny when I talk about, you know, because he was around during, for example, the civil rights debate.
01:24:20.000He was around and was cognizant, remembers the arguments people were making.
01:24:23.000And so it's funny when he hears people saying, they're a private company, Facebook and Twitter are private companies, they can do what they want.
01:24:29.000He's like, that sounds a lot like the arguments people made about the restaurants.
01:24:33.000Freedom of association, First Amendment rights.
01:24:35.000We think it's ridiculous now, but that's a legit argument that the Goldwater types were making in the 1960s.
01:24:40.000The Civil Rights Act was a violation of the First Amendment.
01:24:45.000What if we took maybe, like, a light, some kind of light beacon, and we installed it into people's hands, and then what happens is, as they start nearing 30, it changes color, and then right around the time they're 30, it starts flashing red, so we know they're 30.
01:25:03.000And then, you know, pluck them and put them in a voting booth.
01:25:06.000No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:25:22.000They have the things in their hands and like the light turns red and it's like you're 30 so they're gonna kill you now or whatever.
01:25:27.000Can people that are like suffering from dementia, Alzheimer's vote?
01:26:19.000And they can vote wherever someone tells them.
01:26:21.000What I mean is, if somebody is in their house, and they're clearly mentally unwell, and they get a mail-in ballot, they're gonna send it in.
01:28:21.000Taking pride in your work, attempting to contribute to society best you can, caring for your family, having a strong faith in God, loving your neighbors.
01:28:29.000I mean, these are the things that have made people, we won't quite say happy, but have given their lives meaning for millennia.
01:28:36.000And we're just told that these are vestiges from a time before we had a deep understanding of the world and now we can discard it all and reform man into whatever it is the current left-wing orthodoxy says he should be.
01:28:54.000They haven't really told us what they're progressing us toward, but they are in fact progressing us, and that means that we can't do things the old boring way.
01:29:13.000We don't like the old way of doing things.
01:29:14.000We just want something Can I just mention this in case my answer didn't suffice?
01:29:21.000There's one point I want to throw in here in case I wasn't as clear as I could have been, or in case this bears stating what I meant.
01:29:28.000Humans have historically, generally, what is normal and good for a man is to, in most cases, get married, raise a family, care for his wife and children, right?
01:29:41.000And now our society has completely subverted gender roles, not just in terms of the transgender question, but also the family structure of the home, the headship of the man as the father and head of the household.
01:29:50.000And of course, we have an economy which doesn't support a single family income the way it used to.
01:29:58.000But I think more or less left-wing people are far more likely to voluntarily embrace the kind of lifestyle which rejects family life.
01:30:06.000And I think that's really bad for mental health.
01:30:08.000The question is, will it lead to the destruction of our society and civilization, or not, right?
01:31:58.000Sorry, I just wanted to bring up how, like, Cory Booker went up, got up and made fun of Black Lives Matter and said, how dare anybody suggest we would defund the police?
01:32:05.000And I just literally, Black Lives Matter on the Twitter account, like, lit them up.
01:32:10.000No one in the Senate supports our revolutionary movement.
01:32:12.000And you're like, cue the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme.
01:32:39.000If you want everybody to pay for healthcare, but you're also saying no personal responsibility in your healthcare, then you're going to have a system collapse.
01:32:47.000The right, I think, for now, it's inverted.
01:32:49.000It's more so the rule that conservatives are going to say, hey, these things have worked and they will work, and it's the exception when they propose things that are bad and don't, right?
01:37:15.000So my dad was a firefighter and he told me this story about how one day they get a call for a tanker spill or something.
01:37:20.000And one of the, I guess, fire department employees pulls up in their vehicle and drives through a large puddle with tape around it because they didn't know or care what it was.
01:37:48.000I heard, so I heard a similar story my sister told me when I was a kid and reflecting upon it it sounds like it could be completely made up but I'm gonna tell it anyway because it's interesting but apparently there were some kids like just driving into piles of leaves in our area because they thought it was fun and then I guess there's like a homeless dude sleeping in one of the piles.
01:40:00.000Especially when we're talking about the slow-motion collapse of this country, not only are Biden's policies driving up gas prices and consumer prices, he also brought in 1.2 million illegal immigrants this year.
01:40:11.000I'll tell you this, and I always stress this, I love me immigration.
01:40:14.000I think we're lucky when we get immigrants coming to this country because the smart and talented people and the hard workers come from other countries, but it's got to be a legal process.
01:40:21.000We can't just be like, wander through the desert for 90 miles because then people die.
01:40:25.000Well, and also on top of it, I've said this in the past, it is such ridiculous framing to call somebody anti-immigration or anti-immigrant if they're against illegal immigration.
01:40:32.000The entire point is we want an apparatus set up so that we know who's coming into the country, because you can't just literally let anyone and everyone in at all times.
01:40:40.000But if you say that, you're some kind of bigoted neo-Nazi who just...
01:40:42.000It's covertly motivated by a hatred towards Hispanic people.
01:40:45.000That's the only reason you could think there would be any point in vetting people before coming into our country.
01:40:49.000The media is sort of... No one in the world is dangerous.
01:40:51.000They've framed it like they're refugees a lot of this time, and I think people have kind of subconsciously believed that they're refugees fleeing here.
01:41:03.000I want to mention this, too, because I mentioned some immigrants being dangerous.
01:41:06.000It's not even about dangerous, either.
01:41:07.000Obviously, every nation has a right to regulate the number of people entering the country if it starts to impact the standard of living for the other person.
01:41:21.000That's right, we gotta put the blazer back on.
01:41:24.000The reason Tim started reading the superchats and talking about how this was actually some other podcast is because I wasn't wearing the blazer, so it's back on.
01:41:31.000GothicExtravaganza says, Shamus looks good in a suit.
01:41:34.000Now if only he'd shave that scruff off of his face.
01:42:40.000Remove yourself from the system entirely and say, Florbo is completely gender neutral, and I'm doing it to make sure I never disrespect anybody.
01:42:48.000But I mean, if someone is completely wrong, I'm fine with them being offended if I say something that's right.
01:42:53.000Like, you're a he, and that person's a he, and I'm not gonna be gender neutral.
01:42:56.000This person's in a workplace, and the company says, you must use gender neutral pronouns, but you don't know which pronoun somebody wants, or, if they're comfortable, so just say, Florbo.
01:45:24.000Sorta I can't read your name says urban secession make us mega cities unincorporated u.s.
01:45:29.000Autonomous territories Well, no, I've always said that the best way to deal with California is to let it secede and then occupy it And then we can strip it of its electoral votes that would solve and also maybe just put Peter Thiel in charge There's nothing wrong with California that a dictatorial Peter Thiel wouldn't listen Dolly Lance says, my daughter got a new job and gave two weeks at her grocery store.
01:46:24.000Like, I'm saying, like, what happens if we get to the point where they're just, like, a bunch of them shut down in an area and people have no store to go to to get food?
01:50:01.000Because humans are social animals, and providing for each other guarantees the survival of the greater community.
01:50:07.000They did studies on rats and found rats are also empathetic.
01:50:11.000They had a rat in this tight little tube that it couldn't get out of and it was screaming and they put another rat inside and gave the rat outside food.
01:50:21.000The rat outside would release the rat trapped and then share its food with it.
01:50:26.000But what we haven't considered is maybe those rats were standing in solidarity against their human captors.
01:50:30.000If two aliens came and locked you in another human in some kind of maze that you could free them from, you'd probably be more likely to help that person than you would if you just saw them on the streets.
01:50:42.000Right, you don't touch something if you don't know what it is.
01:50:44.000There's a really funny Far Side comic where there's two aliens looking at a terrarium Where a guy is cowering and there's a grizzly bear screaming.
01:51:03.000Jesse Meeks says, I love how even when you all have differing opinions, uh, differing options, you're each able to present a coherent argument and remain civil.
01:51:56.000The Austrians get one thing right, and then they think they got everything right.
01:51:59.000I think, well, and also there's a lot they get from the Salamancans as well.
01:52:03.000I shouldn't say get from them, but that was discovered prior to that.
01:52:06.000I just look at people like Peter Schiff, who made a really bad prediction about the value of the dollar and lost two-thirds of his client's capital.
01:52:22.000Basically, he was betting against the dollar and on inflation in the aftermath of the housing crisis.
01:52:28.000And he got the housing crisis part right.
01:52:30.000He just was betting all the spending was going to lead to serious inflation, but didn't account for the fact that the massive debt collapse was incredibly deflationary and kind of outweighed it.
01:58:24.000Yeah, I wouldn't recommend anybody go there.
01:58:28.000I used to hang out down there and pass out water bottles and talk to people.
01:58:31.000I was thinking for a time, like 2007, I would start interviewing people and show their stories to the world, but they didn't want to do interviews for the most part.
01:58:40.000Yeah, you catch the random homeless dude that gets a viral video, and then he makes a name for himself, makes money, gets a clean cut, gets a career, and it's like, I want that.

02:04:28.000Yeah, Will Chamberlain on Twitter and Facebook and also We've started the Will Chamberlain Show.
02:04:35.000I'm doing about 45 minutes going through the news, half hour of, you know, just me talking, and then 15 minutes of going through chats.
02:04:42.000I use StreamYard so I get to know all the different platforms we're currently using, but if you are interested in what I'm saying and enjoy it, then tune in at 2 p.m.
02:04:51.000Are you allowed to give legal advice if people super chat you?
02:05:16.000I have a channel called Freedom Tunes where I make animations and we're gonna be releasing one tomorrow that I think should be pretty funny dealing with old Governor Cuomo who we didn't really get into here but I think it'll be a good one.
02:05:46.000Hey, if you're at patreon.com slash freedomsoons, we'll upload the footage of Tim and I improv-ing a different Cuomo video that was never made.
02:06:54.000You guys should listen to Will's podcast because I used to listen to his live streams about lawyer stuff and I found them very interesting and educational because not many people know a lot about law, but he went to school for that.
02:07:05.000So you guys can follow me at Sour Patch Lids on Twitter as I continue my pursuit of Sour Patch Kids and follower count.
02:07:13.000We're gonna talk about a bunch of spicy stuff now that YouTube doesn't allow us to talk about because they're jerks!
