Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Millions To be EVICTED In Two Days, Biden Inflation Crisis Gets WORSE w-Jack Posobiec

00:00:00.000 Just about two days, the moratorium on evictions will be over.

00:00:20.000 And every single landlord in this country who has tenants who aren't paying is going to be filing for eviction and suing for back rent because now they can.

00:00:30.000 See, a lot of people don't seem to understand how the economy works.

00:00:33.000 They have this thing in their mind where they think, or this perspective.

00:00:37.000 Every landlord must own a million buildings.

00:00:40.000 Every movie must be a Hollywood blockbuster.

00:00:43.000 Every musician must be a celebrity rock star, not realizing that the overwhelming majority of this country is small businesses.

00:00:49.000 Artists who don't make that much money.

00:00:51.000 Musicians who don't make that much money.

00:00:53.000 Small shops that do baked goods or hardware stores.

00:00:56.000 And landlords who own maybe one or two buildings.

00:01:00.000 Maybe a landlord owns a three-flat.

00:01:02.000 They live on the top and they rent out the next two.

00:01:05.000 Well, over the past year, people have been able to live for free.

00:01:08.000 Some stories are kind of horrifying.

00:01:10.000 That even though people were getting unemployment checks, this beautiful COVID unemployment benefit equivalent to about $15-$16 an hour, they were like, why pay if I don't have to?

00:01:19.000 And now what?

00:01:20.000 They'll get evicted, but they'll keep all that money, right?

00:01:23.000 There are a lot of people who probably couldn't pay their rent, and so they weren't able to.

00:01:26.000 Well, now there is going to be like a switch being flicked.

00:01:30.000 If nothing changes right now, and the moratorium expires, we are going to see all of the eviction notices go out on the 1st, very likely, and then by the end of the month, you are going to see millions of people homeless, unless the government intervenes, which they might, because Bill de Blasio was talking about buying up these buildings, now that the property value collapsed.

00:01:51.000 Add to this Bidenflation.

00:01:54.000 Joe Biden's inflation crisis, that's right.

00:01:56.000 Real hourly wages have decreased by 1.7% due to Biden's inflation.

00:02:02.000 So, I don't want to be overly pessimistic, man, but I guess to everybody who voted for Donald Trump and said, do not vote for Biden, he'll tank the economy, he'll take away American energy independence, gas prices will skyrocket, y'all can say, I told you so, I told you so, like 57 times.

00:02:18.000 So we'll talk about all that.

00:02:19.000 We're hanging out with Jack Masobic.

00:02:20.000 What's going on, man?

00:02:21.000 What's going on, Tim?

00:02:22.000 How are you?

00:02:22.000 Bad.

00:02:22.000 The AC broke.

00:02:24.000 The AC broke?

00:02:24.000 Well, we've got, you know, we've got some temporary units up.

00:02:28.000 You know, it's pretty good.

00:02:29.000 This chair, though, is a little... I don't know.

00:02:31.000 Comfortable?

00:02:31.000 Yeah, a little bit.

00:02:32.000 Well, you know, there used to be these really... These chairs used to have these really bad supports on them, and we took them off.

00:02:37.000 Now there's no supports on them.

00:02:38.000 There's nothing.

00:02:39.000 Yeah, I usually lean forward anyway, but you know, some people, the guests will lean back and they'll be like, oof.

00:02:43.000 Yeah, I like to lean back.

00:02:44.000 I like to lean back a little bit.

00:02:45.000 Yeah, you need something.

00:02:46.000 So I'm doing bad because the AC broke.

00:02:49.000 You're doing bad because you got no lumbar support.

00:02:52.000 It's a grumpy show today.

00:02:55.000 Man, it doesn't need to be, but we're doing the new build for the new studio.

00:02:59.000 And my assumption about what's happening... Is that what that is downstairs?

00:03:04.000 The heat?

00:03:05.000 No, no, that one like the room with the tools and the various implements of destruction.

00:03:10.000 And so because they're redoing the ceiling, we're hanging the table from the roof and a bunch of other things that are going on down there.

00:03:17.000 It's basically the drywall has been taken down.

00:03:20.000 It's exposed a bit.

00:03:21.000 I'm assuming that the AC is just pouring outside.

00:03:24.000 It's just going straight outside.

00:03:25.000 It's useless now because that room is exposed, which wasn't supposed to happen.

00:03:29.000 Supposed to be closed off, but I guess they didn't close it off.

00:03:31.000 So now, like, the entire second floor of this house is like 84 degrees, which means this room, which is... Above.

00:03:37.000 The third floor is... It was 95 in here.

00:03:41.000 That's how bad it was when it came in.

00:03:43.000 It was 95.

00:03:44.000 Wow.

00:03:44.000 Cause we were just in, we were in Phoenix earlier this week for the, went out for the Trump speech with Turning Point.

00:03:50.000 And, you know, we thought it was going to be really bad, but then it ended up actually being monsoon season, I guess, when we went out and, uh, it was just, it was rainy and cloudy and it was like, this is perfect.

00:04:01.000 It was like, it was actually kind of cold with no humidity.

00:04:03.000 Right.

00:04:03.000 Well, I mean, it's a desert.

00:04:05.000 So for us, I was like, this is nice.

00:04:06.000 No, out here, I mean, it's a tall building as it is, and plus it was 95 outside.

00:04:12.000 So naturally, the higher parts of the house are gonna get super hot.

00:04:15.000 I came upstairs, and I was like, man, it's 78 degrees downstairs.

00:04:18.000 We have a geothermal system, so it's usually super cool.

00:04:21.000 But it's all just spraying outside, I guess.

00:04:24.000 Yeah, as you come up through the house, it's like there's a thermal layer that you cross, and then you go above that, and then... Reminds me of in, like, Submarine Warfare, they talk about, like, the thermobaric layer a lot.

00:04:34.000 Oh, yeah.

00:04:35.000 And then when we move the studio down, it's going down one floor and then over to the side.

00:04:39.000 So one of the reasons for it was it's really hard to keep the studio cold.

00:04:43.000 You can probably hear the AC going.

00:04:45.000 People are listening.

00:04:46.000 So we're like, we should move this down into a shadier, bigger room because this made no sense.

00:04:52.000 Tim, I ain't making this drive without an AC.

00:04:54.000 This is in my rider.

00:04:55.000 This was in my rider specifically.

00:04:57.000 We did get you only the brown M&Ms, though.

00:05:00.000 We took out all the other ones.

00:05:01.000 The bowls right there.

00:05:02.000 Look, I'm saying is they taste differently.

00:05:05.000 Y'all say that different M&M's all taste the same.

00:05:08.000 No, you're wrong.

00:05:09.000 I'm here to tell you you're completely wrong.

00:05:11.000 Do you know what that story was about?

00:05:12.000 This, like, trope of the musicians who are like, I want M&M's.

00:05:15.000 Well, I know it was in, uh, was it Wings World 2?

00:05:17.000 Is that what the joke is?

00:05:18.000 That's what the, yeah, like the joke is.

00:05:19.000 But it's actually really brilliant.

00:05:21.000 It actually started because, I can't remember which band it was, maybe Bon Jovi or something.

00:05:25.000 They had this big contract about doing shows.

00:05:27.000 And I guess what happened, maybe it wasn't Bon Jovi, but this band was playing and there was like a stage collapse or something.

00:05:32.000 So they put in the... because it was done wrong.

00:05:35.000 They said, here's our contract, here's our requirements, here's the weight capacity, and they didn't do it right, and there was like a collapse.

00:05:39.000 And so they would put in the middle of the contract, in a random spot, there must be a bowl of M&M's with all of like, you know, the brown M&M's removed.

00:05:47.000 And it must be sitting in our dressing room.

00:05:49.000 And the idea was... To see if they'd read the whole contract.

00:05:52.000 Exactly. 0.98

00:05:52.000 If they overlooked this and they didn't take care of the stupidest thing, we don't know what they didn't take care of and we're not gonna risk injury. 0.98

00:05:59.000 That's actually pretty smart. 0.99

00:05:59.000 It's very smart. 0.99

00:06:00.000 Yeah, it's a cool story anyway.

00:06:01.000 But let's talk about some craziness.

00:06:03.000 Ladies and gentlemen, Ian is sick today.

00:06:06.000 So filling in for Ian is no one.

00:06:09.000 That's right.

00:06:09.000 Ian's gone.

00:06:11.000 Go to TimCast.

00:06:12.000 Just give me a pair of glasses and the orb and I'll play Ian's part.

00:06:15.000 graphite. We'll create we should create a scene. That's just an

00:06:20.000 inverted you sitting in the same spot, but we'll invert the image

00:06:24.000 and then you can put glasses on and it'll be like what say you

00:06:26.000 in then press the button and then it just flips and you're like, wow, and the or graphene and piracy isn't theft. Oh,

00:06:32.000 I got you. We convert the economy to be a graphene production

00:06:36.000 graphene based economy based economy, then we can create the

00:06:40.000 graphene based life form. I think Ian has called for a graphene based economy to be completely honest. I know. All

00:06:47.000 right. I'm not just a guest here, man. That's right. Hey, everybody go to Tim cast.com become a member and you will

00:06:53.000 get an ad free experience on the website you will get

00:06:56.000 Access to members-only segments and podcasts from this show.

00:07:00.000 Yesterday we had John Schnatter on, and he had to catch a flight.

00:07:03.000 He's a very important man, busy guy.

00:07:05.000 So we were only able to do a short, you know, 10-minute or so segment, but typically we do a little bit longer than that.

00:07:09.000 And more importantly, you'll be supporting our fierce and independent journalists who are writing only the best news.

00:07:15.000 No, they're writing good news.

00:07:16.000 And I don't mean good as in, like, it'll make you happy.

00:07:18.000 I mean they're doing a good job of it.

00:07:20.000 I think we'll do better.

00:07:21.000 I think we're going to be hiring fact-checkers.

00:07:23.000 We're going to be hiring, um... We're going to be hiring a writer whose job it is to, like, check framing, not just fact-checking.

00:07:30.000 We're going to have a frame-checker, you know?

00:07:31.000 I love that.

00:07:32.000 So if someone says, like, Democrats smell bad, they can be like, you know, let's check.

00:07:37.000 Yeah.

00:07:37.000 That's an opinion, and you'll try to make sure that these things are... But anyway, don't forget to like this video, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends.

00:07:43.000 Let's, uh... Jack, let's talk about the apocalypse, I guess.

00:07:46.000 The slowpocalypse.

00:07:47.000 The slowpocalypse.

00:07:48.000 Yeah, so we got this story from CBS News.

00:07:52.000 I'm terrified.

00:07:53.000 Millions in the U.S.

00:07:55.000 face eviction as moratorium nears end.

00:07:58.000 They say Levita Harvey is well aware of the federal moratorium on evictions ending Saturday.

00:08:03.000 The Las Vegas mother of two teenagers lost both of her jobs during the COVID pandemic and has been unable to pay her $900 per month rent.

00:08:13.000 I'm terrified.

00:08:14.000 Job offers are coming in, but they're coming in very slowly.

00:08:17.000 It's the hardest thing to see in the world when you know that you're a single mother and you have no one to turn to.

00:08:22.000 You'll be homeless.

00:08:24.000 Harvey has been approved for more than $9,000 in federal rent help through a local program, but the money hasn't come through yet.

00:08:30.000 More than 8,000 other renters in Nevada's Clark County are still waiting for approval.

00:08:35.000 You know, I'm sure there's a lot of people who Lost their jobs during COVID, don't have any savings, and won't be able to pay rent.

00:08:45.000 But I'm also wondering why these people weren't getting unemployment.

00:08:49.000 And with the massive job openings and the major labor shortage, I'm not sure I believe All of these people who were like, oh, I'm going to be evicted couldn't pay.

00:08:59.000 You just said that was Clark County, Nevada, right?

00:09:01.000 Yes.

00:09:02.000 Right.

00:09:02.000 So I was actually in Clark County, Nevada for, um, I went to the UFC fight.

00:09:07.000 I went to the Rogan Chappelle show, uh, the comedy show and, you know, just walking around the different hotels and everything.

00:09:14.000 There's a massive worker shortage out there right now.

00:09:18.000 Um, they could not find people for these jobs.

00:09:21.000 So, um, funny enough is you remember there was that whole controversy about like, Oh, when Trump walked in, was everybody chanting USA, USA?

00:09:29.000 Or were they booing?

00:09:30.000 Which was it?

00:09:31.000 Et cetera.

00:09:32.000 So everybody was asking me, which was it?

00:09:34.000 I said, well, you know, funny enough, I was actually outside of the arena when that happened.

00:09:38.000 because my brother and I were waiting in line to get some food from the concessions.

00:09:42.000 But each one of the concessions because there's so few workers only had like two people working per stand.

00:09:48.000 Meanwhile, the entire place is completely sold out 26,000 30,000 people.

00:09:53.000 So just imagine how long that is for you're waiting like 3040 minutes for so you know, I've got the order for like we have eight of us out there was Will Chamberlain's thing.

00:10:01.000 And we went and we actually hear, as we're waiting in line, we hear the USA, USA, and we're like, oh, what's that?

00:10:08.000 And my brother goes, I think that's for Trump.

00:10:10.000 And I was like, no, I don't know.

00:10:11.000 I was like, nah, man, it wouldn't be that loud for Trump.

00:10:14.000 It'd be something else.

00:10:15.000 And then we go in and we see the red tie.

00:10:17.000 Oh, yeah, it is Trump.

00:10:19.000 But, you know, going back, It was the issue was that they could not find people to work those jobs, the snack stand, selling drinks, etc, etc.

00:10:30.000 And so you have lines and lines of people.

00:10:32.000 And then we started talking to the Uber drivers.

00:10:34.000 And we were talking to just other people in the hotels.

00:10:36.000 And he said, Look, we would love for people to come work with us.

00:10:40.000 We're offering more money.

00:10:42.000 We're offering more benefits.

00:10:43.000 There even some even some hotels are doing signing bonuses, right signing bonuses for just working the floor out there because they that's how bad their heart out for You drive a few miles from here and you'll see a Wendy's with a big old sign saying open interviews.

00:10:56.000 out there I'm like what's your aperture for those kind of jobs?

00:11:01.000 You drive a few miles from here and you'll see a Wendy's with a big old sign saying open

00:11:05.000 interviews they have signs saying like a thousand dollar bonus.

00:11:08.000 I'm not saying a single mother should go work at Wendy's.

00:11:11.000 I'm saying there are a ton of jobs that are desperate, and the ones you can see outright are... They're just all over the streets.

00:11:18.000 Not only that, but, you know, we ordered pizza the other day.

00:11:20.000 It was great.

00:11:20.000 Papa John, he actually autographed a pizza box for us.

00:11:23.000 That's awesome.

00:11:24.000 I don't think he was trying to autograph it.

00:11:25.000 I think he was just testing the marker to see if it worked.

00:11:27.000 He was hoping to see if his marker works, and then he just signs it, and I'm like, we got a signed pizza box.

00:11:30.000 I'm keeping it.

00:11:30.000 Wait, but was it a Papa John's pizza?

00:11:32.000 Yes.

00:11:32.000 Yes!

00:11:32.000 But there's a thing on it that says, like, we need drivers.

00:11:36.000 It's like, they stuck this to the box, like, drivers are needed in your area.

00:11:41.000 And, you know, he autographed over it, so now we have to leave it on.

00:11:43.000 But anyway, it's a great reminder that a lot of what we see in the immediate is what affects us.

00:11:49.000 Fast food restaurants.

00:11:50.000 We see that, we know they're hurting.

00:11:52.000 Local diner.

00:11:53.000 Okay, that's a little bit better, right?

00:11:54.000 You've got waitstaff.

00:11:55.000 They make better tips, right?

00:11:56.000 They're not making minimum wage or anything like that.

00:11:59.000 They're doing a little bit better.

00:12:00.000 They're also short-staffed.

00:12:02.000 Then you move up and you start noticing that there's a total labor shortage across the board.

00:12:06.000 There's no truckers.

00:12:08.000 You know, for a variety of reasons, there's been a bunch of stories about this.

00:12:11.000 Some have said it's because it's viewed as, like, an old man job.

00:12:15.000 But now we're learning that there's a labor shortage in agriculture.

00:12:18.000 You know what that means.

00:12:20.000 Food.

00:12:20.000 That's right.

00:12:21.000 And so people think, like, oh, who... I hear it from these DSA young people who have no idea how the economy works.

00:12:28.000 Like I said, they think... These people think that movies means Hollywood.

00:12:32.000 They don't realize that the movie industry is actually... No, it's so... Massive!

00:12:35.000 Yeah.

00:12:36.000 There's movies you'll never hear of, you've never seen, that make money for these businesses.

00:12:40.000 You know, I have friends who do TV production, and you'll never hear of anything they do because it's a local market.

00:12:46.000 So they do commercials, they do short films, and it's all local market stuff that you're never going to hear of unless you live in the area.

00:12:53.000 Right, they're not on IMDB and everything else.

00:12:55.000 Well, there's shortages for all that.

00:12:57.000 So anyway, I digress, right?

00:12:58.000 We'll jump back to the labor shortage because I want to talk about this moratorium stuff.

00:13:02.000 People aren't paying rent.

00:13:04.000 And what happens come August 1st when everybody, millions of people, tens of millions maybe get served that eviction notice?

00:13:12.000 So I think the way to understand what we're actually going towards, you need to pair that with another story that just came out.

00:13:21.000 And I know we haven't teed this up.

00:13:22.000 We were just talking about it.

00:13:24.000 What was the news that came out of the Fed today?

00:13:26.000 Oh, they're going to keep the interest rates low?

00:13:29.000 They are going to extend low interest rates.

00:13:32.000 They're acting like nothing's happening.

00:13:33.000 Right, acting like nothing's happening.

00:13:35.000 So understand, understand this and coming to it from an economic populist model, right?

00:13:41.000 This is all being done by design.

00:13:44.000 They want those people to feel the pain.

00:13:47.000 They want the landowners to feel the pain, the landlords, right?

00:13:51.000 The small landlords.

00:13:52.000 They want those landlords to sell.

00:13:55.000 Is this a... it sounds so conspiratorial.

00:13:57.000 And then... The Great Reset.

00:13:59.000 Because here's what's going to happen, right?

00:14:00.000 Who are they going to sell to?

00:14:02.000 Blackrock.

00:14:02.000 Blackrock, Blackstone.

00:14:04.000 And where are they going to get the money from that?

00:14:05.000 Boom.

00:14:06.000 The Fed.

00:14:06.000 The Fed, right?

00:14:08.000 So they're going to walk right in, get the loans for it.

00:14:10.000 And they're going to say, hey, we're, you know, there's, hey, look at all of these properties that just came up because these small time landlords, because that's the thing.

00:14:16.000 Most landlords in this country aren't, it's, it's like you said, it's like one guy owns a building, maybe has two buildings, right?

00:14:23.000 A couple.

00:14:23.000 And then they're putting a few together.

00:14:25.000 They can't handle an entire year of not collecting, right?

00:14:29.000 It's $9,000 for one person, but what happens when that's every person, every tenant in your entire building, every unit isn't paying?

00:14:35.000 What people need to realize, okay, you could be in your late 30s, you're a millennial, you finally saved up to buy a nice house, and it's in an area, it's not the best area, but it's okay, it's a couple hundred grand, you put, you know, you saved up 10 grand, you were able to pay a down payment, plus closing costs, you're getting in, and then you have a tragic loss in the family.

00:14:55.000 You find out that, you know, your great uncle has passed, and lo and behold, he's left you a house.

00:15:01.000 It's a windfall.

00:15:02.000 But you can't really do much with it, right?

00:15:05.000 This happens, and then you say, okay, well, how about I get a rental management company to take care of it, or I rent it out?

00:15:10.000 Which, and by the way, before you go down that road, that's, that is how generational wealth is generally passed on.

00:15:16.000 Exactly.

00:15:17.000 Right?

00:15:17.000 It's, it's traditionally in the United States, it's through real estate, right?

00:15:21.000 So somebody either has a family estate, or there's one house, and then that's passed on.

00:15:26.000 And that's the wealth that's built up, that's then transferred to the next generation.

00:15:30.000 This is why they define it that way.

00:15:32.000 And that's exactly why I bring it up.

00:15:34.000 So you end up, through tragedy, inheriting this home.

00:15:38.000 Now you're a landlord.

00:15:39.000 Now the left says you're the problem, you're the bourgeois. 0.72

00:15:42.000 They assume that you're some fat cat Wall Street guy.

00:15:44.000 No, it's somebody who has earned generational wealth, or received generational wealth.

00:15:49.000 What happens now?

00:15:50.000 You have somebody living in that property for a year who never paid rent.

00:15:53.000 But you gotta pay taxes, you gotta pay insurance, you gotta fix the property.

00:15:56.000 I have a friend.

00:15:57.000 So you sell.

00:15:58.000 And who do you sell to?

00:15:59.000 You're going to sell to Wall Street.

00:16:00.000 You're going to sell to the highest bidder.

00:16:01.000 Wall Street.

00:16:01.000 That's right.

00:16:02.000 You're going to sell to the highest bidder.

00:16:03.000 I have a friend who, maybe like 30 minutes from here, who was in this very same situation, but he had a guy who just refused to pay.

00:16:14.000 Just straight up refused to pay and refused to even apply for any kind of government support for this thing and just said, I'm not leaving.

00:16:22.000 I'm squatting in this property.

00:16:23.000 What are you going to do?

00:16:24.000 And my friend didn't even plan to tell the story.

00:16:29.000 He spent almost 18 months.

00:16:31.000 The guy's still there.

00:16:32.000 He can't get rid of him.

00:16:33.000 So this guy is just squatting in the property.

00:16:36.000 And now he's still on the hook, my friend, because he's the owner.

00:16:38.000 He's still on the hook for insurance.

00:16:40.000 He's on the hook for utilities.

00:16:41.000 He's on the hook for taxes, everything else.

00:16:44.000 Right that you have to pay for owning the house, including maintenance, right?

00:16:47.000 He could still be sued for not maintaining the place by the guy who's essentially now a squatter on his property.

00:16:53.000 And there's nothing he can do.

00:16:55.000 The state won't get involved.

00:16:56.000 The local police won't get involved.

00:16:58.000 And the guy straight up is like, he won't even talk to him anymore at this point.

00:17:01.000 That's that I want to the reason I want to highlight that side of this of this conflict or of this crisis is because people assume that all the landlords are ultra rich.

00:17:10.000 And so pointing that out, it's not the case.

00:17:12.000 Yeah, my buddy's like not, you know, I mean, look, he's got he owns he owns he owns his properties.

00:17:16.000 Yeah, he's got he's a he has one property that he has that was that was his old house.

00:17:21.000 And then he was able to get another place for his family and then make that rent.

00:17:23.000 Like that was it.

00:17:24.000 So I will say, however, these people still are doing a lot better than a lot of the people who are going to be evicted, which is the bigger portion of that crisis.

00:17:31.000 So I can only I can only.

00:17:33.000 I don't think it's going to happen.

00:17:34.000 You don't think what the more.

00:17:36.000 I don't I don't think the eviction.

00:17:37.000 I don't think there's going to be massive evictions.

00:17:38.000 Well, I think the government's going to come in.

00:17:41.000 Well, hold on.

00:17:41.000 And they're going to stop it.

00:17:42.000 Why would the government come in?

00:17:44.000 They are going to come in because they get they get to be the saviors now.

00:17:48.000 No, no.

00:17:48.000 But I mean, like, what will happen where the government will say, oh, we're going to have to come in and bail people out?

00:17:54.000 It'll be that moratorium.

00:17:55.000 It'll be that point where they say we're too many people for from again.

00:17:59.000 This is Joe Biden's party.

00:18:00.000 This is AOC's party.

00:18:01.000 They're going to say, what are we going to do?

00:18:03.000 We can't have any jobs.

00:18:04.000 You have to help us.

00:18:05.000 You have to come in for us.

00:18:07.000 They need the problem first.

00:18:08.000 Right.

00:18:09.000 So here's what will happen right now.

00:18:10.000 So this this story is like the start of the drumbeat.

00:18:14.000 Right, but the government's not going to be able to come in and do a bailout or assert power unless there's a crisis.

00:18:19.000 And the moratorium is currently in effect.

00:18:22.000 They could right now come out and say, we're extending the moratorium for another six months.

00:18:25.000 You know, the unemployment payments are going until September 6th.

00:18:29.000 They could do that.

00:18:29.000 Maybe.

00:18:30.000 I mean, we've got a couple days.

00:18:31.000 Maybe they'll say, you know, it was an emergency, we're going to extend the moratorium because of Delta variant and all that stuff.

00:18:36.000 And then all of the, you know, smaller business landlords will groan.

00:18:40.000 Or they'll let it expire.

00:18:41.000 10 million or so, you know, however many millions, eviction notices will go out.

00:18:47.000 Notices go out.

00:18:47.000 And then there's a major uproar in the press.

00:18:50.000 People start freaking out saying, I have nowhere to go.

00:18:53.000 I have no job.

00:18:54.000 I have no money.

00:18:55.000 The unemployment isn't enough.

00:18:56.000 I can't afford rent.

00:18:57.000 The rent is skyrocketing because of inflation.

00:18:59.000 What do I do?

00:19:00.000 And the government says, we're going to bail everybody out.

00:19:05.000 The reason I wanted to highlight the landlords because I wanted to highlight the poor working class people who are being evicted because they're probably a substantial portion.

00:19:13.000 I don't even want to say that either because I don't want to make it out like I'm against it.

00:19:17.000 They're being used as political pawns in the system.

00:19:21.000 I mean they're just being screwed over.

00:19:22.000 They're being put in this position on purpose by people who want more power and more control.

00:19:28.000 But perhaps.

00:19:29.000 I don't know that it's... I have any evidence to suggest there's a grand conspiracy other than conjecture and the Great Reset.

00:19:38.000 And yeah, people stand to make a lot of money.

00:19:40.000 But look, the regular working-class people had their businesses destroyed, their jobs were stripped from them, and that is, first and foremost, I think the biggest problem.

00:19:47.000 The people being screwed over.

00:19:49.000 And we're hearing that more lockdowns are coming.

00:19:51.000 Right, but here's why I think it's important to highlight landlords.

00:19:53.000 The reason why I wanted to explain that landlords are not all multi-millionaire fat cats with a bunch of buildings is that when they're forced to sell because they can't deal with a bunch of tenants who don't pay and they gotta pay all these things they can't afford, and they sell to Wall Street firms who use Fed money to buy this stuff, And then, when all of these firms, depending on how much they actually own, say to the government, all of these evictions, how are we going to do this?

00:20:19.000 The government says, we will bail you out.

00:20:21.000 And the government will write the check to pay all the back rent back to these firms who bought up the houses, who could afford to eat the costs.

00:20:27.000 Right.

00:20:27.000 So it's it's almost like you've got to be like a reverse Big Short in this sense, right?

00:20:31.000 It's like a reverse Big Short.

00:20:33.000 Yeah.

00:20:33.000 So instead of it being Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on the back end, now you've got Wall Street coming in on the front scooping up all of this stuff.

00:20:42.000 the low interest rates or how they're getting the money from the Fed directly. And so now you cut

00:20:46.000 out the middleman completely. And it's just the government and Wall Street. And you're,

00:20:50.000 you are the one, by the way, you as the tenant, eventually, you're going to be on the hook for

00:20:55.000 that, or the people who are who have the rents that go up and up and up, you're still going to

00:20:59.000 be on the hook, by the way, it's just that your landlords are going to be the ones kicked out.

00:21:04.000 You're going to be the ones stuck paying higher rents.

00:21:08.000 Now who knows what's going to happen as to the actual, if there's mortgages for this property, how much of that's getting paid.

00:21:14.000 You and the American taxpayer is the one that's ultimately on the hook for all of it.

00:21:19.000 I told you how I got denied a mortgage for a house, right?

00:21:22.000 Did I tell you that?

00:21:23.000 I tweeted about it.

00:21:24.000 I think I saw your tweet, but I didn't get the whole story.

00:21:26.000 Yeah, I'll say it straight up.

00:21:28.000 It's because you're not white, right? 0.99

00:21:30.000 Probably, yes.

00:21:32.000 But it was Navy Federal, and they sent false credit information.

00:21:37.000 Oh, I love my Navy.

00:21:38.000 Love my Navy.

00:21:39.000 They sent me a false credit letter that had wrong information.

00:21:44.000 It accused me of having delinquent accounts, which is just absolutely false, fictitious.

00:21:47.000 It said my credit rating was relatively low, which is just absurd.

00:21:51.000 And they used that to justify denying me a loan.

00:21:53.000 And I thought that was really, really weird because it wasn't just that.

00:21:56.000 It was the three months where they kept changing the agents on us.

00:22:00.000 It felt like they were trying to get me not to buy.

00:22:04.000 And I was like, what is going on?

00:22:06.000 Are we doing this or not?

00:22:07.000 Right.

00:22:08.000 Because they don't want to sell to individuals anymore.

00:22:11.000 Yeah, so I'm not saying I can prove any intent, but man, it was just so weird.

00:22:17.000 Take it back, right?

00:22:18.000 If you're a large institution, whether you're a bank or a credit union, why would you want to sell to an individual?

00:22:24.000 Why would you want to deal with all the potential problems of selling to an individual when you know that waiting in the wings are these massive Wall Street institutions with the backing of federal money?

00:22:35.000 Maybe, but...

00:22:37.000 I'm just talking incentives.

00:22:38.000 I'm just talking incentives.

00:22:40.000 I think maybe, but I could very easily guarantee, like, the loan was extremely low risk for them.

00:22:47.000 It's just, you know, they, for some reason, jammed me up, made it impossible to do, and I bring it up because it felt like they were trying to stop me from buying property at a time when we're hearing about all this news where these firms are buying up property, we're facing this major eviction, this eviction crisis, And I think it's possible we see a bailout that allows the government to own houses and apartments.

00:23:14.000 When they buy, when they bail out these big companies that have bought up, they're gonna own how much of these companies and then we're gonna be slowly moving towards government-owned apartments and housing.

00:23:24.000 So you know what, man?

00:23:25.000 You know what's gonna happen in 2030?

00:23:28.000 You will own nothing and you will be happy.

00:23:30.000 This is, this is Russian serfs.

00:23:32.000 This is, by the way, this is, you know, Russian serfs in the past.

00:23:35.000 Chinese citizens today, by the way, are like this.

00:23:38.000 This is the system in China.

00:23:39.000 Yeah, you can't buy property.

00:23:40.000 You do not own property in China.

00:23:42.000 The most you can do, I think, is a 99-year lease, right, from the government owns all.

00:23:46.000 In fact, the word communism in Mandarin, 公产主义, public property-ism.

00:23:54.000 It's literally the word for communism is public property in China.

00:23:58.000 It's completely defined by public property.

00:24:01.000 Now, of course, we're not calling it public property.

00:24:04.000 We're saying it's owned by a private firm that's backed by federal money.

00:24:07.000 That's totally not the same thing as public property.

00:24:09.000 Not at all.

00:24:10.000 I think Andreas, he put on this documentary earlier.

00:24:14.000 I don't know what it was, but I go downstairs.

00:24:16.000 He puts on some weird documentary.

00:24:17.000 Yeah, it was a weird one.

00:24:18.000 I think it was German.

00:24:19.000 It was DW.

00:24:21.000 And it was like a guy, and he went to China, and they were showing him the social credit score infrastructure.

00:24:26.000 It was creepy, like a camera watching someone jaywalk and stuff like that.

00:24:30.000 Oh, with the facial recognition, kind of like your thing popped up.

00:24:34.000 I mean, we're only a couple steps away from that.

00:24:35.000 Oh, no, no, no.

00:24:36.000 We're there.

00:24:36.000 We are completely there.

00:24:38.000 So what happens, I'm passively watching.

00:24:39.000 I was playing Lode Runner on the arcade, and then I'm listening to this, and the guy's like, wow, this social credit score is great.

00:24:45.000 And they're like, that's right, because now these people are less inclined to commit crimes, and crime is going down.

00:24:49.000 We like social credit score.

00:24:50.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:24:51.000 Crime is going...

00:24:52.000 Crime in China is extremely low, right?

00:24:55.000 It literally is a police state.

00:24:57.000 So yeah, if you want crime to be super low in your country, have a police state.

00:25:01.000 Right, right.

00:25:02.000 It's not really a thing.

00:25:03.000 The transition in the documentary was hilarious, because then he goes to... I went to talk with Google, who is incredibly private, and you can't get any information out of them.

00:25:14.000 And they refused to do an interview, and we tried Facebook, and they're also private and locked down.

00:25:17.000 And he talks about how Google's devices, all these phones and everything, their microphones are always on.

00:25:25.000 Yes.

00:25:26.000 Always.

00:25:27.000 Because there's the wake-up phrase, right?

00:25:29.000 You can say, you know, what's the phrase for Google?

00:25:31.000 I don't know.

00:25:31.000 I'm not going to say it because people's phones on the show will... Okay.

00:25:34.000 Yeah, so you say that in the word, and then it turns on.

00:25:37.000 But that means the microphone has to be on the whole time.

00:25:39.000 That means the microphone is picking up ambient noise.

00:25:42.000 Now, it doesn't necessarily mean they're recording the words you say in the conversations you're having, but they mentioned that Google does track Sounds like car horns and just other ambient effects where they can determine where you are and what you're doing just by the noise around.

00:25:56.000 There's actually a function on your iOS where I think you probably know what I'm talking about where you can.

00:26:04.000 It can identify ambient noises for you.

00:26:07.000 Well, like, let's say you have your headphones in and hey, there's a car horn, but you wouldn't know this will pop up on the screen.

00:26:13.000 There's a car horn or pop up.

00:26:15.000 I'm 100% or there's a, there's a train coming or there's a dog is barking, right?

00:26:21.000 It will tell you what that ambient noise is as you're listening to your headphones.

00:26:25.000 So as you're listening to Timcast IRL, it'll tell you what's going on around you.

00:26:29.000 What I found fascinating about this was that they contrasted the Chinese police state and social credit system with the secrecy of Google and Facebook, and it's like... No contrast.

00:26:39.000 Right.

00:26:40.000 What's the difference?

00:26:41.000 We've outsourced censorship and authoritarianism to private corporations to do an end run around the Constitution.

00:26:47.000 So this is what I've been getting at in Human Events, and I started with a piece that I put out on the 4th of July, funny enough.

00:26:54.000 But actually, purposely, I knew it would be running on the 4th of July, where they said, you know, write something about freedom.

00:26:59.000 And I said, I'm going to write about how we're losing it and why we're losing it and what's happening, right?

00:27:04.000 And from my perspective, it's really quite simple.

00:27:06.000 I call it the axis of the elites between the 1% of the US and the CCP, which if you do the numbers, it's like 1% in China is the 90 million members of the party.

00:27:15.000 It's about 1%.

00:27:15.000 It's just under, right?

00:27:17.000 It's actually a little bit less.

00:27:18.000 It's like 0.7.

00:27:20.000 And so if you go back to the 90s or even the 80s, they said, well, we'll let Hong Kong go back to communist China because Hong Kong is so capitalist and they believe in the free market and it's totally run by the banks, right?

00:27:34.000 And it's all about free trade.

00:27:35.000 And this will infect the rest of China and will make China more liberalized.

00:27:39.000 Well, that didn't work and then Tiananmen Square happens, right, and everything.

00:27:43.000 And so they say, well, we just need to let China in. 0.99

00:27:45.000 So think about it.

00:27:46.000 What was the West's response to Tiananmen Square?

00:27:49.000 Was it we're going to isolate them?

00:27:50.000 We're going to work against the regime?

00:27:52.000 We're going to put sanctions?

00:27:53.000 No.

00:27:54.000 Double down.

00:27:55.000 It was we're going to double down.

00:27:56.000 We need, we were told by the free traders, we need to let China into the system. 0.97

00:28:00.000 We need to let them into the World Trade Organization. 0.64

00:28:03.000 So 1999, 10 years after Tiananmen Square, that happens.

00:28:05.000 And Tifa was completely against it at the time.

00:28:07.000 So all along, we're told.

00:28:09.000 Battle in Seattle.

00:28:10.000 Battle in Seattle.

00:28:11.000 Right.

00:28:12.000 So all along, we're told.

00:28:12.000 Bye!

00:28:13.000 Bring China in and they will become more democratic and they will have an open society.

00:28:18.000 They will stop being so closed and so authoritarian.

00:28:22.000 The exact opposite.

00:28:23.000 And this is my thesis.

00:28:24.000 The exact opposite happened.

00:28:27.000 We became more authoritarian as our elites became more familiarized and had more visibility into their system and how their system works.

00:28:37.000 The Democratic Party is learning quite well from the Chinese Communist Party.

00:28:41.000 So when I worked in the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, and then I worked for an American consulting firm in Shanghai as well, we would have this, we would have congressional delegations and government delegations, people would come in to Shanghai and there was this museum over there.

00:28:56.000 It was called the Municipal Planning Museum, right?

00:28:58.000 It's kind of this like innocuous name.

00:29:00.000 But when all of these people would come in, these dignitaries and functionaries from the U.S.

00:29:04.000 government would come in and they'd take them to this municipal building and the museum, they'd talk about what their plans were.

00:29:09.000 So high-speed rail was a big one, right?

00:29:11.000 So the high-speed rail of Shanghai was one of the first that China ever got.

00:29:14.000 It actually doesn't even go all the way downtown to Shanghai, but it goes from the airport.

00:29:17.000 I got to ride it a couple times.

00:29:19.000 But then you asked the question, what about all the people that live in the path of the high-speed rail?

00:29:25.000 They're gone.

00:29:26.000 They don't they don't live there anymore.

00:29:27.000 Right?

00:29:28.000 You know, they're out, you know, our what about all of these old and Shanghai used to have these great old this old architectural style called the Shurkumon.

00:29:37.000 And it was the stone apartment with like courtyard around a courtyard.

00:29:42.000 So it was like shared families.

00:29:44.000 would all live together and then they'd all share the courtyard and that was sort of like this big communal atmosphere where they lived.

00:29:49.000 Okay, all of those are just get wiped out.

00:29:52.000 I don't think any of them are really preserved.

00:29:53.000 There's like one or two where they've been sort of updated into like nightclubs and bars, but none of the actual like cool architecture or historical features of Shanghai have been preserved at all because they've been wiped out.

00:30:06.000 Do people own them?

00:30:07.000 Do people want to preserve them?

00:30:08.000 Who cares?

00:30:09.000 Get rid of it.

00:30:09.000 And so as all of these dignitaries would come in and all these U.S.

00:30:13.000 officials, American officials, there's Europeans all over the place as well, they would say, wow, your model is amazing.

00:30:19.000 This is incredible.

00:30:20.000 How do we bring this back home?

00:30:23.000 Right.

00:30:24.000 And they started to say, well, you know, we have all these issues.

00:30:26.000 We you know, we have to be careful because we don't have this public ownership like you do here.

00:30:31.000 So we can't just lease things.

00:30:32.000 But if we could somehow get people out of ownership of their property and if we could just Move things around so that we could become more powerful, not only in terms of the, you know, the censorship and the authoritarianism online.

00:30:47.000 That's like a sideshow compared to what they're doing in the ownership.

00:30:51.000 If they can reduce the ownership class to just themselves and just really this gentry, right, then you don't have to worry about everyone else because you can shuffle them around whenever you've got some big projects. 0.98

00:31:02.000 And what happened throughout the entire last year with the lockdowns, which they say may be coming back?

00:31:07.000 How many was like 100,000 businesses or something?

00:31:09.000 Small businesses destroyed.

00:31:10.000 When we talk about people losing their jobs, it doesn't just mean that Jeff Bezos gets to fly his interestingly shaped spaceship around overhead while laughing at all of us from down below.

00:31:21.000 And he even has the gall, the Absolute gall of this guy to say, I'd just like to thank all of the Amazon employees.

00:31:31.000 When you're not, when you're, when you've done taking your trash can break to use the bathroom or use your bottle to go to the bathroom.

00:31:39.000 No, no, no, no.

00:31:40.000 I'm saying, he's like, no, it was not direct.

00:31:42.000 He said, I'd like to thank all the employees and the customers of Amazon for paying for my joy ride in space on my interestingly shaped spaceship.

00:31:50.000 And I was like, yep.

00:31:51.000 Man, it's so it's rubbing in your face, right? That that part

00:31:54.000 of me is like, I want there to be a space program, and I want

00:31:58.000 it to be good. Right. And I think that is better. But at the

00:32:01.000 same time, you look at the guy running it and, you know, shout

00:32:06.000 out to the guys who ran the expanse right in that whole TV show and book series. And even though I think the plot is

00:32:11.000 kind of silly, the setup that they have where they just kind of

00:32:15.000 move the poor people into the asteroid belt. 1.00

00:32:17.000 Have you, have you seen it?

00:32:18.000 Yeah.

00:32:18.000 To do like the mining out there.

00:32:20.000 And it's really still all the rich people just kind of control everything from like the moon and Mars.

00:32:24.000 I'm like, you guys just nailed it.

00:32:26.000 Like you just nailed it.

00:32:27.000 That's what it's going to be like.

00:32:28.000 What I've been watching happen over the past few, maybe 10 years, there used to be direct upward mobility.

00:32:34.000 Almost like, you could imagine upward mobility as a stair set.

00:32:37.000 Not everybody would want to climb to the top of the stairs.

00:32:39.000 It's like... This used to be a huge Republican talking point.

00:32:41.000 Right, right.

00:32:41.000 But you could if you worked hard.

00:32:43.000 I once, during the hurricane, it was a Sandy in New York, I had to climb 35 flights of stairs because there was a generator on the roof that needed to be shut down because the storm could cause a surge and they were really worried.

00:32:56.000 So we had to climb all the way up.

00:32:57.000 I'm like, If you work hard enough, you can succeed.

00:33:00.000 But now, it's not.

00:33:02.000 What's happening over the past few years is upward mobility is becoming an inverted rock climbing wall.

00:33:08.000 So most people, even of determination, are like, I can't climb that thing.

00:33:11.000 Right.

00:33:12.000 But some people who strive really, really hard and break themselves, they can get really good at this and they make it up that inverted rock climbing wall.

00:33:20.000 What's happening is the path towards upward mobility is becoming a very, very narrow bridge where very few will be able to cross it.

00:33:27.000 It'll still exist to a certain degree.

00:33:29.000 But when the left talks about, you know, the American dream being dead, I'm like, well, it's the Democrats that are destroying it.

00:33:33.000 What's left of it?

00:33:35.000 So business ownership is being destroyed.

00:33:37.000 Home ownership is being destroyed.

00:33:38.000 The American dream was never That you'd get a loan for a hundred grand, go to college, and then get a high-paying job.

00:33:45.000 The American dream was you could come from the gutter, work really hard, and then start your own corner store and have a living and be independent.

00:33:52.000 You used to be able to, if you go back just to the 1980s, right, you used to be able to buy a home with like three years of the median wage, the median salary.

00:34:01.000 Right.

00:34:01.000 Three years median salary and you've you've purchased your start.

00:34:04.000 You know, it's a starter home, not like, you know, nothing palatial, but nothing opulent.

00:34:08.000 But you've you've got a place where you can live and you're surviving.

00:34:11.000 This is why you're starting to hear more populists take up this message of we should.

00:34:15.000 J.D.

00:34:16.000 Vance got, you know, got a lot of hate for saying this, but he said you should be able to support a family on a single income.

00:34:23.000 Right.

00:34:23.000 And they said, well, they say he said, Oh, that's sexist.

00:34:25.000 He's like, I didn't say anything about whose income I didn't even say which part of the family or anything.

00:34:30.000 I just said, you should be able to do that.

00:34:32.000 Because in within living memory, we used to be able to do that in the United States.

00:34:36.000 And I think this is why, you know, there's always that sort of like boomer millennial debate that goes on about, you Oh, you guys had it so hard, but you guys screwed, etc, etc.

00:34:44.000 And I think there actually is, though, such a generational difference between the baby boomer generation and then the economy as millennials were getting into the workforce in 2007 2008, because everything had changed.

00:34:57.000 Where it was actually like they were speaking different languages completely across the other.

00:35:02.000 Well, just go in there and hand him your resume and give the manager a firm handshake and tell him you want a job.

00:35:09.000 It's like that, that, you know, and then he'll give you a job for the rest of your life, right?

00:35:12.000 That doesn't, it doesn't exist anymore.

00:35:14.000 I think it does.

00:35:15.000 I do.

00:35:15.000 But the boomers raised the millennials and they raised a generation of entitled, entitled people.

00:35:22.000 So, look, I got a job at a non-profit that required a college degree.

00:35:27.000 I didn't have a college degree.

00:35:28.000 I'm a high school dropout.

00:35:29.000 But I went in with a firm handshake and I talked my way into the job because I had the skill, the talent, the ability, and the drive.

00:35:36.000 What do I see with Millennials? 1.00

00:35:38.000 They spent 22 years in institutionalized learning facilities.

00:35:42.000 They've never had a real job.

00:35:44.000 They come out and then they're like, tell me what to do.

00:35:47.000 I don't know.

00:35:47.000 Don't get me wrong.

00:35:48.000 I am not I'm not necessarily saying I'm a millennial apologist, but I'm also trying to make myself an impartial observer of the whole thing.

00:36:00.000 And certainly baby boomers have played their part, and millennials clearly are the most neurotic, absolutely neurotic, self-centered generation we've seen in a very, very long time. 0.98

00:36:13.000 But I do think the economics of the time played a huge role in that.

00:36:16.000 Definitely.

00:36:16.000 I think, you know, if you look at... There's an interesting phenomenon where they show boomers still hold a disproportionate amount of wealth, even as they age out over time.

00:36:25.000 Yeah, I've seen that.

00:36:25.000 And millennials have almost none.

00:36:26.000 Right.

00:36:27.000 I also think that's... And so by, like, 2040 or so, that's when we think that a lot of that wealth is going to be transferring down.

00:36:35.000 But at that point... Will it?

00:36:36.000 I think by that point it'll be seized by the government.

00:36:38.000 It'll be communist.

00:36:39.000 It's my money.

00:36:39.000 And by that point, it'll be seized by the government.

00:36:41.000 It'll probably go or or it'll be reverse mortgaged out because you'll have people

00:36:45.000 saying, well, I want the money now.

00:36:46.000 Why should I? It's my it's my money.

00:36:48.000 I put in this.

00:36:50.000 I put the equity in this house.

00:36:51.000 Why couldn't I have it now? Why should I leave this for my kids?

00:36:53.000 What did they do to earn this thing?

00:36:55.000 I mean, you look at how we've broken down the traditional roles of, you know, how a

00:37:01.000 family gains its generational wealth, about how we support the next generation, how we

00:37:06.000 support previous generations, by the way.

00:37:08.000 We don't, you know, we don't live with our grandparents anymore.

00:37:11.000 We don't have them in the home, right?

00:37:13.000 We shuttle them off somewhere.

00:37:14.000 And even the grandparents, they'll say, there was, who was it?

00:37:18.000 There was somebody on Twitter who was saying this, you know, recently, and they kind of got hit on.

00:37:22.000 I forget if it was New York Times or what.

00:37:23.000 I'm going to screw it up.

00:37:24.000 But it was like, why should we spend time helping out our kids with, you know, with our grandkids?

00:37:31.000 Why, we could be doing arts and crafts and pursuing other things.

00:37:35.000 And this is actually better for us in our age.

00:37:37.000 And, you know, why should we be teaching the You know, I look at what's going on in China, and I have to wonder if anything being said by the American elites is true.

00:37:55.000 They're like, oh, climate change.

00:37:56.000 Oh, geez.

00:37:58.000 Hey, how's that beachfront property just bought Obama?

00:37:59.000 It's pretty good.

00:38:01.000 Am I supposed to believe this guy cares about rising water levels when he buys beachfront property?

00:38:07.000 Am I supposed to believe these people when they're buying investment property in Miami Beach and they're telling me all these things are gonna happen?

00:38:11.000 You make it really hard to believe when you don't lead by example.

00:38:15.000 Hey, they care so much about BLM and all of the social justice issues while their companies are in Africa using child labor to go into the cobalt mines and build everything out for our electric cars, for our cell phones, and everything else. 0.65

00:38:31.000 Which, by the way, now is being done predominantly by China and Chinese firms.

00:38:35.000 But Jack, why are you complaining?

00:38:37.000 They're helping you.

00:38:38.000 You're an American!

00:38:40.000 You know what's happening?

00:38:42.000 Let me pull up this story, and I'll break down for you what we have going on.

00:38:45.000 We can't do the entire thing in sarcasm.

00:38:48.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:38:49.000 But this is legit.

00:38:50.000 Check this out.

00:38:50.000 We have to bring it down at some point.

00:38:52.000 We got this story from TimCast.com.

00:38:54.000 50,000 migrants released into the U.S.

00:38:56.000 by Border Patrol.

00:38:57.000 Just 13% show up to an ICE office.

00:39:00.000 A new report from Axios is shedding more light on the chaos quickly unfolding at the US-Mexico border.

00:39:04.000 180 plus K, 188,000.

00:39:06.000 A million so far, maybe a million point two so far this year of illegal immigrants coming into the country.

00:39:11.000 That we've tracked.

00:39:12.000 That we've tracked.

00:39:13.000 But think about this.

00:39:14.000 Will those people be able to get special COVID unemployment benefits?

00:39:18.000 Are they getting the benefits?

00:39:19.000 Are they getting vaccinated?

00:39:20.000 I mean, you go through the entire list of all the things.

00:39:23.000 Are they going to be able to apply for free money from the government?

00:39:27.000 They're not.

00:39:28.000 They're not.

00:39:28.000 Especially the ones that aren't being tracked.

00:39:30.000 They're not going to get COVID unemployment benefits.

00:39:32.000 Right.

00:39:33.000 So they're going to have to work or do something for money, right?

00:39:36.000 Now, there's a major labor shortage, so it seems like Biden, sweating bullets because he doesn't know how to deal with the labor shortage, decides to just import a bunch of people to take those jobs, but what ends up happening?

00:39:46.000 Not the first time that Clark County, Nevada has hired, you know.

00:39:49.000 But take a look at what the result is going to be.

00:39:54.000 I have long said this, many conservatives have mentioned this as well, that the Democrats are creating a serf class. 0.98

00:40:00.000 That they bring in illegal immigrants who are forced to live in the shadows and get paid under the table, and then Americans don't have to do the jobs that nobody wants. 1.00

00:40:08.000 You know how they say that all the time?

00:40:09.000 But these illegal immigrants, they do the job nobody wants! 1.00

00:40:12.000 And I hear people say, but I wanted my job.

00:40:14.000 Well, what's happening now?

00:40:16.000 Americans lose their jobs, but the government gives them free money. 0.75

00:40:20.000 Now you've got tons of Americans who don't have to work and don't want to work. 0.69

00:40:24.000 Then you get tons of illegal immigrants. 0.91

00:40:26.000 It's either work or sink or swim.

00:40:28.000 So they're creating the serf class who's going to have to fill these roles and do the hard work that nobody wants to 0.99

00:40:33.000 do.

00:40:33.000 So say if the Democrats...

00:40:34.000 Which by the way, this also exists in China.

00:40:38.000 It's just that it's in a way that a lot of people don't understand.

00:40:41.000 The North Koreans. 0.97

00:40:42.000 Because it's with North Koreans. 1.00

00:40:43.000 Not just that.

00:40:44.000 North Koreans and people and provincials. 0.74

00:40:46.000 So there is a system in China called the hukou system.

00:40:50.000 And what this is, they got it from the Soviet Union.

00:40:52.000 It was a Stalinist idea.

00:40:53.000 It's an internal passport system.

00:40:55.000 system so it like...

00:40:57.000 You know how you have a state driver's license here in the US?

00:41:00.000 Imagine if you've got a Virginia driver's license.

00:41:06.000 Unless you had a specific stamp, you couldn't get a job in New York City.

00:41:09.000 You couldn't live there.

00:41:10.000 You couldn't work there because you're Virginia. 0.86

00:41:13.000 If you're tagged for Virginia, you can't go to New York.

00:41:15.000 You can't go to Chicago, etc.

00:41:16.000 unless you get special permission.

00:41:19.000 Could you just go and get a job and live in the shadows?

00:41:22.000 Yeah, sure.

00:41:22.000 But then you're going to be out of the system.

00:41:25.000 And so when I was in Shanghai, this would happen all the time.

00:41:27.000 The population of Shanghai, there are so many, they call them internal migrants, right? 1.00

00:41:33.000 Think of that, right?

00:41:33.000 Internal migrants.

00:41:35.000 And they live in this sort of ring on the outskirts of Shanghai, for the most part, because the housing situation isn't really that There's not much oversight of it out there.

00:41:44.000 It's not very well regulated.

00:41:46.000 And so what they do is they come into the city, they work, they do the construction jobs, and they go back at the end.

00:41:51.000 So if you actually measure the population of Shanghai, it differs by over a million people, whether you do it during a day or at night.

00:41:58.000 And that's true for a lot of cities in the United States, not to that degree though, like to a million.

00:42:03.000 But it is substantial.

00:42:04.000 But they wouldn't be considered illegal workers.

00:42:06.000 Right, right, right.

00:42:07.000 That are out of the system.

00:42:08.000 Do you know what cities like San Francisco and New York do?

00:42:12.000 It costs five bucks or more to come in when you cross the tunnel of the bridge, but leaving is free.

00:42:18.000 Right, exactly.

00:42:19.000 So what happens in San Francisco?

00:42:21.000 We used to say that in Philadelphia because we didn't want the people from New Jersey coming in. 0.99

00:42:27.000 Yeah, charge them to come in.

00:42:29.000 Free to leave.

00:42:30.000 Yeah, we're building a surf class.

00:42:31.000 It's obvious.

00:42:32.000 It's predictable.

00:42:34.000 And that's the joke I make when I'm like, oh, but we're Americans!

00:42:37.000 We're great, right?

00:42:39.000 There is a great microcosm of this that everyone in the country can go look at.

00:42:43.000 And everyone can see the difference between the statements and what's actually happening on the ground.

00:42:49.000 And that city is called Washington, D.C.

00:42:51.000 Right.

00:42:52.000 And when I'm talking about D.C.

00:42:54.000 in this sense, don't look at D.C.

00:42:55.000 from the take the federal government out of it.

00:42:57.000 Right.

00:42:58.000 Just look at Mayor Bowser.

00:43:00.000 And the policies of the gentrification of Washington D.C., who's being kicked out, the families that are being sent out, the businesses that are coming in, the landlords that are coming in, the massive companies that are coming in, right?

00:43:13.000 There are families that have lived in D.C.

00:43:15.000 for 40 years, 50 years.

00:43:17.000 They're all being kicked out to PG County, Maryland.

00:43:20.000 And everyone who's coming in are these like millennials and D.C.

00:43:24.000 Hill staffers and lobbyists and all that money that's coming in.

00:43:28.000 And Bowser knows this, by the way.

00:43:30.000 She absolutely knows exactly what she's doing.

00:43:33.000 She knows exactly who she's catered to.

00:43:36.000 And she will paint Black Lives Matter up and down the street in front of the White House when Trump is in there.

00:43:42.000 But when he's gone, what happens?

00:43:43.000 It gets paved over and she goes and she's kicking families out of the city by policy. 1.00

00:43:48.000 And when Cuba Libre was painted in front of the, I believe it was the Cuban Embassy building, they came and got rid of that immediately.

00:43:55.000 Right.

00:43:55.000 Yeah, the messaging is only there when, you know, you're anti-Trump, right?

00:43:59.000 You know what I love about these Capitol hearings is that they're literally crying.

00:44:04.000 Like, Kinzinger cried. 0.99

00:44:06.000 That dude is a sociopath. 0.98

00:44:09.000 Because those tears are not real. 0.99

00:44:11.000 That dude was faking it, I will tell you that, in my opinion.

00:44:15.000 Why?

00:44:15.000 We had 60 Secret Service agents injured at the insurrection at the White House last year.

00:44:19.000 What was it, a guard tower?

00:44:21.000 Secret Service tower was set on fire?

00:44:22.000 On fire.

00:44:22.000 St.

00:44:22.000 John's Church?

00:44:24.000 Set on fire?

00:44:24.000 Is that what's called St.

00:44:25.000 John's?

00:44:25.000 St.

00:44:25.000 John's, yeah.

00:44:27.000 Insurrection.

00:44:29.000 They were trying to breach the White House.

00:44:32.000 60 Secret Service agents injured.

00:44:34.000 150 police.

00:44:35.000 They laughed at Trump for being evacuated to the presidential bunker.

00:44:41.000 Because of their insurrection.

00:44:43.000 The president was evacuated and the media laughed and mocked Trump and they called him bunker boy and they posted photos.

00:44:50.000 crying, you know, you know, imagine if that were Biden and Harris sent to the

00:44:55.000 bunker, then I mean, these J six hearings would be what they're trying to do.

00:45:00.000 And I know you're in Ukraine when it happened.

00:45:02.000 They're trying to turn January six into an American version of the Maidan

00:45:07.000 revolution there.

00:45:09.000 So this is essentially what that was a color revolution, right?

00:45:13.000 That happened in Ukraine.

00:45:14.000 This is pretty widely accepted that that was a color revolution.

00:45:17.000 It was it was the president Yanukovych Yanukovych.

00:45:18.000 Right. And he was he was he was out the next day.

00:45:21.000 The very next day.

00:45:22.000 Well, was on the vote.

00:45:23.000 Euromaidan was took a long time.

00:45:26.000 I'm the day after the shooting.

00:45:27.000 Right, right, right, right. Yeah.

00:45:28.000 So you have this this big buildup, and then you have the one sort of, you know, you could say the denouement, right?

00:45:36.000 You know, your your huge, you know, climax, and then boom, after that conflict moment happens, then you have the political change that you wanted all along.

00:45:46.000 You exploit that and exploit the narrative surrounding it to get the political solution you wanted.

00:45:51.000 Yeah, of course.

00:45:52.000 The problem is, they're really bad at it.

00:45:53.000 You know, you mentioned how they go to China and they're like, wow, we want this stuff.

00:45:57.000 moment and then you use that moment and you milk it for all its worth.

00:46:01.000 Yeah, of course.

00:46:02.000 The problem is they're really bad at it.

00:46:05.000 You know, you mentioned how they go to China and they're like, wow, we want this stuff.

00:46:08.000 Yeah, but they're really bad at it. 0.99

00:46:10.000 I mean, you've got a lot of willing participants, a lot of really dumb people who don't read 0.94

00:46:14.000 the news, who just like, you know, I hear these these stories about people posting comments 0.94

00:46:19.000 on our videos and the people who work here saying like, do you really fall for this right

00:46:22.000 wing conspiracy stuff?

00:46:24.000 It's like, what?

00:46:24.000 What are you talking about?

00:46:25.000 Do you have any?

00:46:26.000 Okay, name one thing.

00:46:27.000 What science?

00:46:28.000 What story?

00:46:29.000 What are you concerned about?

00:46:29.000 Because I think, you know, we strive to fact-check.

00:46:32.000 And it's so funny that people actually just don't read the news, but assume they know the truth.

00:46:37.000 They just fall in line.

00:46:39.000 They're the ones who are on their own property.

00:46:41.000 That means they watch TV.

00:46:42.000 And they know.

00:46:42.000 Like, when people say, oh, I trust the science, you trust what your TV said.

00:46:46.000 I don't think they watch TV.

00:46:47.000 I think they watch Facebook memes.

00:46:49.000 No, it's Facebook memes all day.

00:46:51.000 And I see a guy and he's posting a meme and it's like, Duh, there's bread in the store and a hungry guy outside, just give him the bread.

00:46:56.000 And I'm like, what?

00:46:58.000 I mean, like, sure, there are circumstances where we can just give the homeless guy some bread.

00:47:01.000 But, like, that's not even a fleshed out idea.

00:47:03.000 Like, what are you even talking about?

00:47:04.000 They come up with these half-brained ideas.

00:47:07.000 I saw someone, this prominent leftist, tweeted, With all the money that Jeff Bezos wasted, we could have ended homelessness overnight.

00:47:13.000 And I'm like, no you can't!

00:47:15.000 Do you know anything about homelessness?

00:47:17.000 No, that's actually not true.

00:47:18.000 This is a perfect example that I can cite because I actually worked for a homeless shelter.

00:47:22.000 I know for a fact money never solves the problem.

00:47:25.000 There are homeless shelters in Los Angeles that are completely empty, flush with cash, and homeless people say, F you, I'm not going in your building.

00:47:33.000 Correct.

00:47:33.000 You can't solve it, but you could write them a check, they'll go spend it, and they'll go back home.

00:47:36.000 Have you gone through D.C.

00:47:37.000 lately at all?

00:47:38.000 No.

00:47:39.000 There are homeless camps throughout the city now.

00:47:41.000 Oh, it's gonna get worse with these evictions.

00:47:43.000 They're calling them Bowservilles, right? 0.99

00:47:45.000 So, they're Bowservilles, and it's almost under, for Mayor Bowser, so it's almost, like, every tunnel, every, when I was still with One American News, I would drive up under the Capitol, and then you'd go through the tunnel.

00:47:56.000 So that entire area under there, it's all homeless camps now.

00:48:01.000 To the north side of the Capitol, there's a huge emplacement.

00:48:05.000 It's almost like it's getting to the point where there any point where there's public space, with the exception of the National Mall, right?

00:48:11.000 They're not on the National Mall because there's lots of rules and regulations to the National Mall.

00:48:15.000 But pretty much everywhere else that there's public space, there are homeless camps throughout Washington, D.C.

00:48:20.000 I don't even know if people realize that.

00:48:21.000 By the way.

00:48:22.000 No, no, but it's happening everywhere.

00:48:23.000 Because and this this is the dynamic that I was just talking about, because people are getting kicked out of DC.

00:48:28.000 There's so much, so many of these new policies are coming into people can't afford the houses that they lived in 40, 50 years.

00:48:35.000 And rather than, you know, take a new place or move there, say, fine, I'm just gonna pop a tent.

00:48:40.000 Right?

00:48:41.000 I hear it's happening in cities all over the country.

00:48:43.000 Not just D.C., not just L.A., but I hear cities in even red states and stuff.

00:48:47.000 Right, so L.A., the last time I was there, I said, oh, this is like a year ago, and I wanted to take Tanya to this one boutique that she really likes, and she likes their dresses, and their designer, so...

00:49:01.000 I said, I said, Oh, let's see if they're open.

00:49:03.000 And they're actually closed on Sundays.

00:49:05.000 But I'd actually set up like a special thing for her.

00:49:07.000 But I told her I said, Oh, look in the window.

00:49:09.000 So we're walking down and I say, and everywhere.

00:49:12.000 It's it's tense and home.

00:49:13.000 It's tense.

00:49:14.000 And I said, Are we in Skid Row?

00:49:15.000 And I'm like, because I'm not I'm not an LA guy.

00:49:17.000 Right?

00:49:17.000 I texted my buddy.

00:49:17.000 I said, Am I in Skid Row?

00:49:18.000 And he said, You don't understand, Jack.

00:49:20.000 Like there is no Skid Row anymore, right?

00:49:22.000 It's Skid City.

00:49:22.000 It's the city, the whole city now.

00:49:24.000 I think you can't.

00:49:25.000 And then we actually were talking to the boutique owner and she was like, I, I, we have to leave the city.

00:49:30.000 Like we can't, we can't even open up anymore.

00:49:32.000 You know what, man?

00:49:33.000 It's, it's really interesting.

00:49:34.000 YouTube rolled out this thing called Super Thanks.

00:49:37.000 Super Thanks.

00:49:39.000 And I got a notification saying, congratulations, you have been accepted to Super Thanks.

00:49:43.000 And I'm like, what, what is it?

00:49:44.000 It's basically people can comment.

00:49:47.000 I have so many jokes that I can't say right now.

00:49:49.000 But it's like Super Chat, but for YouTube.

00:49:54.000 Live and not live.

00:49:56.000 So if I put up a video that's not live, someone can basically pay to have their comment appear high above the comments.

00:50:02.000 I was thinking about this and I was like...

00:50:07.000 So people are getting money from the government, and then they're choosing to give it to people who make videos on the internet.

00:50:13.000 Is this the future of the economy?

00:50:14.000 Is this what they're going for?

00:50:16.000 Like some kind of government-funded attention economy for the sake of an economy?

00:50:21.000 Like, well, you gotta do something, I guess.

00:50:23.000 We have to distract the people somehow.

00:50:24.000 Well, look at Reddit.

00:50:25.000 You get awards.

00:50:26.000 Like, you don't get paid for it, just giving Reddit money.

00:50:28.000 But it's so weird, someone will post something on Reddit, and they'll be like, today my dog farted.

00:50:31.000 And then it'll have, like, $3,000 in awards, and I'm like, what are you spending this money on?

00:50:36.000 I feel like we're heading in this direction where the economy is hollow.

00:50:39.000 There's a lot of human psychology behind that, by the way.

00:50:41.000 Oh, for sure.

00:50:42.000 There's a ton.

00:50:43.000 No, I just think, you know, I remember Greta Thunberg.

00:50:45.000 She was like, these fairy tales about infinite economic growth.

00:50:49.000 And I'm like, do you see what's happening with the digital economy?

00:50:51.000 Your Greta is better than your Obama. 0.75

00:50:53.000 My Greta?

00:50:54.000 Well, I'll actually do Obama at some point, but I'm not trying to do a good Greta behind you. 0.98

00:51:00.000 I'm trying to be somewhat of a jerk in the way impersonator. 0.84

00:51:04.000 I thought it like if I was listening right now, I almost thought that she walked into the room. 0.97

00:51:07.000 Oh, yeah.

00:51:08.000 I was like, Tim, why are you wearing a beanie?

00:51:11.000 We in order to have a functioning economy while reducing greenhouse emissions and if you want a great reset, then people will own things.

00:51:20.000 But what are they going to own?

00:51:21.000 They're going to own like the forest leather boots of agility with like plus three agility and they're enchanted for plus 10 armor or whatever.

00:51:28.000 I'm sorry, it's an armor kit, not enchantment.

00:51:30.000 They're going to have digital products in video games, and they're going to be proud of their non-physical assets that they can brag about.

00:51:35.000 They're going to play video games all day, and they're going to do very little work.

00:51:39.000 Now, part of me says this transition kind of needs to happen, to a certain degree, because what happens to all the McDonald's fast food workers?

00:51:46.000 You know, they lose their jobs.

00:51:48.000 It feels very much so like the establishment elites... We are 10 years away from McDonald's being fully automated.

00:51:54.000 You're right.

00:51:55.000 And I think we're a month away from McDonald's going full kiosks.

00:51:58.000 Yeah.

00:51:58.000 Because everyone, no one's working anymore.

00:52:00.000 So it's about time.

00:52:01.000 I mentioned that Wendy's where they're like, please come work here.

00:52:03.000 Guys, kiosks now.

00:52:06.000 Instead of being like, oh no, no one will work here.

00:52:07.000 Just put up a kiosk.

00:52:08.000 There's a, um, and, and I gotta, I gotta say this just cause it's where we're going.

00:52:11.000 Right.

00:52:12.000 Uh, my heart, everybody knows I'm a, I'm a longtime supporter of the Wawa nation.

00:52:17.000 Love my Wawa.

00:52:18.000 You know, she eats okay, whatever.

00:52:20.000 But Wawa, that's my heart.

00:52:22.000 That's my heart.

00:52:23.000 There is a Wawa that just opened or it's going to be open I think in in northern New Jersey where it's there's no inside right so it's just out you drive up to a kiosk or you have your app and then you tell them what you want and then you drive up to the drive-thru and a hand hands it to you and then you drive off and that's it.

00:52:42.000 That's the future, man.

00:52:43.000 That's the future right there.

00:52:44.000 I was just watching Stargate SG-1, the episode where they go to that planet with the dome.

00:52:49.000 The atmosphere is destroyed, everyone's got the link in their brain.

00:52:52.000 Yes.

00:52:52.000 I actually remember that, yeah.

00:52:53.000 Yes, it was just on today.

00:52:54.000 For those that don't know what Stargate SG-1 is, don't worry, I'm going to explain the concept to you.

00:52:58.000 Basically, all of these people live in a dying society.

00:53:02.000 They were in a city that used to have 100,000 people, and there is an atmospheric dome that keeps them safe from pollutants outside.

00:53:09.000 They wear something called a link.

00:53:10.000 Wasn't the dome, like, failing or something?

00:53:12.000 Yes.

00:53:12.000 Yeah.

00:53:12.000 So they wear something called a link, which connects their brains to the internet, and they know everything because the link just downloads information, but what they didn't know was that it was also erasing information.

00:53:22.000 Right.

00:53:23.000 So what was happening was that the city was failing, their shield was failing, and the toxic atmosphere was basically getting closer and closer, but every time it would shrink and somebody would die, the link would erase their memory of what had happened.

00:53:35.000 It doesn't sound like anything that's going on right now.

00:53:38.000 Not even close.

00:53:39.000 Not necessarily, but I bring it up just because, you know, of where we're moving with digital economy, the way we're moving to that Black Mirror episode where nobody leaves their room.

00:53:47.000 You know, you know, that Black Mirror episode where their room has TV screens and they watch American Idol, but their character is in the audience instead of them.

00:53:55.000 Right, right, right.

00:53:56.000 All of these dystopian ideas.

00:53:58.000 You know, that's what WWF or WWE is doing now.

00:54:01.000 What, your image appears in the audience from like a TV screen?

00:54:04.000 Yeah, you haven't seen that.

00:54:06.000 No!

00:54:07.000 Yeah, that's real.

00:54:07.000 So instead of the crowd, it's like a Zoom crowd.

00:54:11.000 That's literally the Black Mirror episode!

00:54:13.000 And it's live, right?

00:54:14.000 So it's a live image of that.

00:54:16.000 It was either them or UFC or something.

00:54:17.000 Was it with Charlie Booker was his name?

00:54:19.000 Was the guy who did that?

00:54:20.000 I think so. 1.00

00:54:20.000 Pathetic. 1.00

00:54:22.000 And then you're in the crowd and it's your live reaction to what's going on, but you're not actually there. 0.99

00:54:28.000 And the performers can't actually see that, right?

00:54:31.000 That's all green screened in.

00:54:33.000 Say the line, Jack.

00:54:35.000 The one you tweet all the time.

00:54:36.000 You know what I'm talking about.

00:54:38.000 Do you know which one?

00:54:40.000 I say that get out of cities get out of cities. Yeah, let's do it. Well, let's use you for crime

00:54:44.000 That's usually for that's usually for like, you know Someone is blown up something or someone's going crazy and

00:54:50.000 we got we got chickens in the incubator out of cities But it's actually honestly like seriously free folks if you

00:54:56.000 there's that book right there's that talks about like, you know

00:55:00.000 Yeah escape from the city and if you have no idea how to live outside of a city if

00:55:04.000 you've been living out of Convenience stores and Starbucks for and fast food and

00:55:09.000 restaurants your entire life and you have no clue how to like just have a house right and run it and

00:55:16.000 Grow your own food and have a couple of animals or something.

00:55:19.000 Like, there's a few books out there that actually, and you can go as far as you want, right?

00:55:24.000 But they're actually pretty good.

00:55:26.000 We're trying to get the chickens to brood because we're getting four eggs per day now and the chickens just leave them.

00:55:32.000 And I'm like, okay, so we actually were at a point where one chicken had like six or seven eggs.

00:55:36.000 Didn't care.

00:55:37.000 And I'm like, if you want to raise chickens, man, it's not that easy.

00:55:41.000 Maybe they're just a little uncomfortable like I am in this chair.

00:55:43.000 Oh, man, you know, yeah, I can get a little rough, you know, our chairs are missing that special something.

00:55:48.000 You took, like, the cushions out of it or something?

00:55:51.000 Sorry, sorry.

00:55:51.000 They were not that great of cushions, I guess.

00:55:53.000 People didn't like them.

00:55:54.000 Whatever.

00:55:54.000 But anyway, you know, farming and taking care of yourself, it's not easy.

00:55:59.000 And so I think we're, you know, this is this nightmare dystopia stuff.

00:56:03.000 Either people fall in line and live these really awful cubicle lives or they get out.

00:56:09.000 But that means you move to the suburbs, you move to the rural areas, cube farms.

00:56:12.000 You got to learn.

00:56:13.000 So this is a point I was going to make earlier when you were talking about the worker shortage that's going on right now, because I think that we were talking a little bit more about your sort of like entry level jobs or your service economy type jobs.

00:56:26.000 But what I think there's also another layer to all of this that not a lot of people are talking about is that a lot of people just had a year off, right?

00:56:35.000 Or a year where they were kind of working from home.

00:56:38.000 So a year off.

00:56:40.000 Well, one guy was one guy for CNN was taking care of business.

00:56:43.000 Oh, yeah.

00:56:45.000 Yeah.

00:56:45.000 No, he was working hard.

00:56:47.000 Working hard. Yeah, he was Again, a lot of jokes hard. Yeah, a lot of jokes that would

00:56:54.000 get anyway continue just going through my materials see if we get a special first and I

00:56:59.000 think though I really do think there were a lot of people who had that year off from their lives and

00:57:03.000 It was almost like they had a year to kind of check into their lives in a sentence, right?

00:57:10.000 A year off from their work life, but able to check into their personal life and say, you know what?

00:57:15.000 If I'm driving an hour commute to work, that's two hours a day, plus I'm working in a cubicle

00:57:20.000 for eight hours a day, that's 10 hours of my day where I'm not with my personal life,

00:57:26.000 my family, what's going on.

00:57:28.000 That's the majority of my day, right?

00:57:31.000 And then you're sleeping however many hours or you're not sleeping enough, even though

00:57:34.000 you should be.

00:57:35.000 And you thought I was going to do my pull-up plug there.

00:57:38.000 But I think there's probably a lot of people who looked at that and said, you know what?

00:57:43.000 I want to make a change.

00:57:45.000 Absolutely.

00:57:45.000 Why am I doing this?

00:57:46.000 Why am I living this way for some company that would just replace me if I dropped dead tomorrow?

00:57:51.000 Absolutely.

00:57:51.000 The World Economic Forum proudly put up a video saying a Microsoft survey found 30,000 people found 41% were planning on quitting their jobs or moving, changing careers.

00:58:02.000 That's great.

00:58:03.000 I think that's great.

00:58:04.000 I actually think that's great.

00:58:04.000 I think that's healthy.

00:58:06.000 Not so much.

00:58:07.000 What do you think?

00:58:08.000 It's 50-50.

00:58:09.000 Let me ask you a question, Jack.

00:58:10.000 How many people do you know play guitar?

00:58:13.000 I know a lot of people play guitar.

00:58:14.000 How many people do you know, of those who play the guitar, how many of them are good at playing guitar?

00:58:20.000 Handful.

00:58:21.000 Handful, so what do you know, like five?

00:58:23.000 Half a dozen.

00:58:24.000 Half a dozen.

00:58:25.000 And how many people do you know who play guitar?

00:58:29.000 So we get a good sense of the ratio.

00:58:31.000 Hey, hey, hey! 0.55

00:58:31.000 maybe like 40, 50. 0.55

00:58:33.000 40 or 50 people and about, what'd you say?

00:58:37.000 Half a dozen?

00:58:38.000 Half a dozen.

00:58:39.000 Are good at playing.

00:58:39.000 Okay, of the people who aren't good, how many of them do you think would quit their job

00:58:44.000 if they had money from the government to try and make careers playing guitar?

00:58:48.000 A lot of them, right?

00:58:50.000 Probably a lot of them, yeah.

00:58:51.000 So, you know, I had a friend.

00:58:52.000 Hey, hey, hey, I'm a creator.

00:58:54.000 Right.

00:58:54.000 I had a friend who was like... By the way, if you are in any place and you're calling an actual musician or creator, just leave.

00:59:03.000 Just go out.

00:59:04.000 I was arguing about UBI, and my friend was like, if people are getting a universal basic income, it'll be like ancient Rome, man.

00:59:11.000 People will be free to explore.

00:59:12.000 Well, this is in the experience as well, by the way, right?

00:59:14.000 You know that, right?

00:59:15.000 No, no, what is it?

00:59:16.000 So they get into it in the books more than the TV series of The Expanse, but there actually is a UBI on Earth in The Expanse.

00:59:24.000 And I think I see where you're going.

00:59:25.000 So what I said was, this is the line I use exactly to debunk the idea that UBI creates this utopia.

00:59:32.000 I was like, if everybody was given the opportunity just to pursue passion, I asked them, how many people do you know play the guitar?

00:59:39.000 How many of them are bad at guitar?

00:59:41.000 Right.

00:59:41.000 How many of those people would try to become rock stars if they had money sitting around?

00:59:46.000 The problem is not everybody is actually good at what they want to do.

00:59:50.000 So you got to find out what you are good at and make the best of it.

00:59:54.000 Yeah, this actually is, so it kind of runs into a lot of the pop psychology that's out there of like, you know, follow your dreams.

01:00:02.000 Mike Rowe says don't follow your dreams.

01:00:04.000 Does he actually say that?

01:00:05.000 I'm pretty sure Mike Rowe said something like, don't follow your passions.

01:00:09.000 Yeah, find your passion, right?

01:00:10.000 He said something like, follow your talent.

01:00:13.000 Exactly.

01:00:14.000 Find your talent, follow your talent.

01:00:17.000 That is where, like, my brother and I, right?

01:00:19.000 Perfect example.

01:00:21.000 He is straight up natural athlete.

01:00:23.000 He's the kind of guy where you can give him a sport, whatever it is, literally whatever sport, within 10 minutes, he's got it down, he can play at a basic level, and if he puts more time into it, he'll be an all-star.

01:00:36.000 For me, I can practice, and I can train, and I can get to an average level, but he just has the natural genetics and everything else to just be amazing at anything he does when it comes to that.

01:00:48.000 Whereas like for me like okay, I could spend all this time practicing, but I'm just I'm not gonna get to that level You might like playing football, but you're not good enough to be a pro.

01:00:56.000 Right.

01:00:56.000 Some people try.

01:00:58.000 And so this idea of UBI... Yeah, I think like the average person wouldn't even last like a single down in an actual football game.

01:01:04.000 Let me tell you something.

01:01:06.000 You know what happened during the lockdown?

01:01:08.000 You'd go to Best Buy.

01:01:09.000 And so we're doing the show.

01:01:10.000 We need equipment, right?

01:01:11.000 We have a show with a million subscribers on one channel.

01:01:15.000 And I go to Best Buy like, we need to pick up some stream decks.

01:01:18.000 And this is the switcher we use for the cameras.

01:01:20.000 Right.

01:01:21.000 They're sold out.

01:01:22.000 And I said, okay, well, do you have any capture cards?

01:01:24.000 We're sold out.

01:01:25.000 Why?

01:01:25.000 Because everyone decided they wanted to be a streamer!

01:01:29.000 You know what really, really annoys the crap out of me?

01:01:32.000 Is pop career, right?

01:01:34.000 Is the idea of like, oh man, it was like when I was a kid, I was like, I want to be a rock star!

01:01:38.000 I'm like, no you don't.

01:01:40.000 You want to be famous and you want easy money.

01:01:42.000 You don't want to work and you don't want to do anything, but these are some of the hardest jobs.

01:01:46.000 I've had so many people in my life, I had one person hit me up years ago, like, I really want to do what you do and report and make these videos, and I said, I'll tell you what, come hang out in New York, hang out with my friends, we'll get you set up.

01:01:58.000 And then within a week, they were like, man, this sucks, I don't want to do this, this is hard.

01:02:01.000 Oh, what did you want?

01:02:02.000 I just wanted to, like, travel.

01:02:03.000 You know what they do now?

01:02:04.000 They bought a van and they drive around in it.

01:02:05.000 Right.

01:02:05.000 I'm like, yeah, you didn't want to do the hard work of reporting from conflict zones.

01:02:10.000 You just wanted to, like, sit in front of a lake.

01:02:12.000 Right.

01:02:13.000 Go ahead and do it.

01:02:14.000 Get your van and go live down by the river.

01:02:15.000 Hey, man, no beef.

01:02:16.000 But everybody just wants free money.

01:02:18.000 That's what they really want.

01:02:20.000 They don't want to work.

01:02:21.000 By the way, I'm all for downsizing.

01:02:24.000 I think that's amazing.

01:02:27.000 I know that's like a new trend that's going on and I think that people are using this sort of like digital nomadism combined with just, hey, let's buy an RV and just live wherever we want to live, right?

01:02:36.000 That's great.

01:02:37.000 And I totally support that.

01:02:39.000 Have you seen the subreddit anti-work?

01:02:42.000 No.

01:02:42.000 It's literally a popular subreddit.

01:02:44.000 It's because, you know, I gotta tell you.

01:02:45.000 I haven't been going on Reddit as much.

01:02:47.000 My Reddit hours are down.

01:02:50.000 We are raising generation after generation of lazy, entitled people.

01:02:56.000 So I don't want to work.

01:02:57.000 Work is wrong.

01:02:58.000 Work is bad.

01:02:59.000 Work is awesome.

01:03:00.000 Work is great!

01:03:01.000 I go out every day.

01:03:02.000 I wake up in the morning, and I do my... I read the news, I'm reading the news non-stop.

01:03:06.000 Right.

01:03:07.000 After I record my first segment in the morning, you know what I do?

01:03:09.000 I go right to the chicken coop.

01:03:10.000 I let the chickens out.

01:03:11.000 I make sure... I spray down a little of the chicken... Chickens are dirty birds. 0.91

01:03:15.000 And then I check for the eggs, and then I go to the garden.

01:03:17.000 In the garden, we're basically decommissioning because we're going to be cementing it over and moving it.

01:03:21.000 But I'll take whatever vegetables we have left, which is basically a little bit of cherry tomatoes.

01:03:24.000 I do work, work, work, work.

01:03:26.000 And that way I can have breakfast.

01:03:28.000 I can have good, healthy breakfast.

01:03:30.000 Work is fun.

01:03:32.000 There's a lot of people who are like, work sucks because they view work as like a menial minimum wage job.

01:03:39.000 But your work is supposed to be something that you are passionate about to an extent.

01:03:43.000 I say, you know, to an extent in that you should feel accomplished in solving problems.

01:03:49.000 You should feel accomplished in getting something done.

01:03:52.000 You may not be able to follow your passion.

01:03:54.000 But every job I've had, there's got to be a goal-oriented accomplishment, and I think a lot of businesses probably suck at doing that.

01:04:01.000 But this idea that people think work shouldn't exist, I'll tell you what, I've got an opportunity for you.

01:04:07.000 There's two options if you don't want to work.

01:04:10.000 The first, Beautiful beaches, coconuts as far as the eye can see, an uninhabited island in the Caribbean.

01:04:16.000 We'll put you there and you can not work all day and nights, see how it works out for you.

01:04:19.000 And if that doesn't work out for you, I'll tell you what.

01:04:22.000 I got a place we can bring you.

01:04:23.000 You're gonna get three hot meals per day, you're gonna have a nice little room all to yourself, no cost, medical expenses all taken care of, and it's called prison.

01:04:33.000 Yep.

01:04:36.000 How's your back?

01:04:39.000 You know, I got this.

01:04:40.000 So I don't know if you could see, but I brought this.

01:04:42.000 I found this pillow just now.

01:04:44.000 Totally.

01:04:46.000 That was here.

01:04:46.000 And now I've got... You bring the competition into my house.

01:04:49.000 I've got the lumbar support.

01:04:51.000 Competition.

01:04:52.000 That I always needed.

01:04:53.000 This delightful and affordable MyPillow available.

01:04:57.000 You see, you see, ladies and gentlemen.

01:04:58.000 From MyPillow.com with promo code POSO.

01:05:00.000 You see, in this house, we have the Communist Hour Pillow. 0.63

01:05:03.000 Which I see you aren't even using.

01:05:05.000 Well, it's for everybody, so I can't claim it.

01:05:07.000 Oh, right.

01:05:08.000 Because it's not yours.

01:05:09.000 It is ours.

01:05:09.000 It's ours.

01:05:10.000 It is ours.

01:05:11.000 The cats are under the gun, aren't they?

01:05:12.000 He's laughing because they are.

01:05:14.000 You know, what's funny is that I genuinely thought that David Hogg's pillow company was going to be called Our Pillow because he kept saying Our Pillow.

01:05:22.000 Yeah, he did keep saying that.

01:05:23.000 But he meant it literally in the sense of like his pillow company, like him and his friend.

01:05:28.000 When he said our, he was referring to them.

01:05:29.000 What did they end up calling it?

01:05:30.000 Good Pillow.

01:05:32.000 And then nothing happened.

01:05:34.000 He kept saying he wanted to find a socialist factory or something.

01:05:40.000 And it didn't exist.

01:05:41.000 And then he was saying, I just want to get a socialist pro-union factory.

01:05:45.000 Why is it so hard to do in the United States of America?

01:05:48.000 He couldn't figure it out.

01:05:49.000 You voted for the Democrats.

01:05:50.000 And meanwhile, Mike Lindell's over there just kind of like, hey, our pillows are still available.

01:05:55.000 You can buy them right now.

01:05:56.000 He's like, we got the sheets made from Giza, Egypt, and they're the best.

01:06:01.000 I bought a bunch of towels recently because we need we need towels for the house for like, you know, guests and stuff.

01:06:05.000 So, you know, I bought a bunch of towels and promo code POSO.

01:06:09.000 Yeah, boy.

01:06:10.000 Super cheap.

01:06:12.000 They actually I think was a $49.99 for the set.

01:06:14.000 Cheap is the wrong word.

01:06:15.000 Inexpensive.

01:06:16.000 Yeah.

01:06:16.000 Comfortable.

01:06:16.000 I actually I actually posted a promo code for the just for the towels the other day.

01:06:21.000 No, it was the sheets.

01:06:22.000 It was for the sheets this morning.

01:06:24.000 I think they're both going for $49.

01:06:26.000 Yeah, check it out, because I don't want to get screwed up on that.

01:06:28.000 But somebody actually said, they're like, are you sure that's right?

01:06:31.000 Because I think that's too low.

01:06:32.000 And I'm like, they send me the numbers to post, right?

01:06:35.000 I just post it.

01:06:36.000 So you know the Freedom Phone?

01:06:37.000 Sure.

01:06:38.000 Right.

01:06:38.000 You have a promo code with them, right?

01:06:39.000 I do, yeah.

01:06:40.000 Yeah, and I saw you had Eric on the other night.

01:06:42.000 We had him on.

01:06:43.000 And one of the big criticisms is that the Freedom Phone... Oh, he got lit up!

01:06:47.000 I know, it's hilarious.

01:06:47.000 He got lit up when that came out.

01:06:49.000 For those that aren't familiar, the Freedom Phone is, uh, it's, it's, this guy made a phone company that has a bunch of censored apps on it.

01:06:56.000 And the goal is to make it uncensorable.

01:06:58.000 What that really means is it's a more free speech oriented phone.

01:07:01.000 The services on it will, that he says, not censored.

01:07:04.000 Which by the way, guys, you know, I mean, Eric doesn't, this isn't a money grab, right?

01:07:10.000 He doesn't, he does not need, you know, to do this.

01:07:13.000 But they, they complained that it was a Chinese phone.

01:07:16.000 And they're all laughing, like, oh, it's just a Chinese phone.

01:07:18.000 You mean, like, all phones?

01:07:20.000 What's he supposed to do?

01:07:20.000 Is he supposed to start a phone factory in America?

01:07:23.000 I mean, he could.

01:07:24.000 I think he actually was able to find one in Hong Kong.

01:07:27.000 He found one.

01:07:27.000 Yeah, he said he found one in Hong Kong.

01:07:28.000 That wasn't Mainland.

01:07:29.000 And then he mentioned there was another factory.

01:07:32.000 And I was like, he was like, we have this one, we have Umidigi in Hong Kong, and there's another factory that does the surplus orders.

01:07:36.000 Like, what's it called?

01:07:37.000 And he's like, I can't say the name, and I was like, why not?

01:07:40.000 He's like, it's an Asian word, I can't say it.

01:07:41.000 I was like, oh, you literally can't say the name.

01:07:44.000 Not that he was restricted from saying it.

01:07:46.000 Oh, he should have called me.

01:07:47.000 Well, he said he's going to put it up so everyone can see what it is, because he's not trying to lie.

01:07:50.000 He's just like, can't say it.

01:07:51.000 Yeah.

01:07:52.000 But anyway, it was funny to see the media complaining.

01:07:55.000 What's funny, because umuji, that's not a Chinese word.

01:07:59.000 I don't know what that is.

01:08:00.000 It's a corporate word.

01:08:01.000 It actually sounds more Korean.

01:08:03.000 They complain that his phone, they mock him for having a Chinese phone.

01:08:09.000 What do these people think is happening?

01:08:10.000 As they type on their Googles and their Androids.

01:08:13.000 Right, right, right, right.

01:08:13.000 Everything is.

01:08:14.000 These factories don't exist in this country.

01:08:15.000 Lenovo.

01:08:16.000 And so you get David Hogg and he's like, we're going to make a good pillow.

01:08:19.000 It's going to be called Good Pillow.

01:08:21.000 And we're going to find a good, strong American factory with a good union.

01:08:24.000 And I'm like, good luck.

01:08:26.000 I was trying, so I did the graphic novel a couple years ago.

01:08:31.000 We did the Agent Pozo graphic novel, and we wanted to do, it was great, we did three figures with it, it was awesome, ton of support.

01:08:37.000 Actually, there's a Comic-Con going on right now, and it's gonna be next week in Temple, Texas, and I can't go, which sucks.

01:08:43.000 There are like 27,000 people coming, because we've now signed with Iconic Comics, and so they're running it.

01:08:50.000 They put, they put Agent Poso for all the press who has to go.

01:08:54.000 So all, and this is like, like mainstream, um, like video game and comic press are all going and all the press badges have the Agent Poso as the logo.

01:09:02.000 Yeah.

01:09:02.000 So they have like 300 press badges and it's all Agent Poso on it.

01:09:06.000 It's awesome.

01:09:07.000 And, but I can't go cause I'm, I'm booked for, it's actually my cousin's wedding on like the same day and I literally can't go and I'm so bummed.

01:09:12.000 Um, but it's going to be very, very trolling, but, but, but to go back.

01:09:18.000 One of the pieces of merch that I wanted to have with this whole thing was I said, Hey, let's do like, remember the old G.I.

01:09:23.000 Joe's?

01:09:24.000 Like the really old ones that didn't have like the articulated arms.

01:09:27.000 It was just, or the elbows and everything.

01:09:29.000 It was just like, like the old Star Wars figures.

01:09:31.000 Like it was just one solid piece, like one solid piece.

01:09:34.000 And then the arms and legs would move and that's it.

01:09:36.000 So I was like, there's gotta be a company out there that does like retro action figures.

01:09:41.000 Right.

01:09:41.000 And I want to get like a retro action figure, Agent Poso, like do one of me.

01:09:45.000 And then like my wife was in it, my son was in it.

01:09:48.000 And I could, and I told everybody beforehand, I said, I don't want any of this stuff made in China. 1.00

01:09:54.000 I want all this stuff made in the USA, right?

01:09:56.000 Don't, you know, I don't want to be like, there was another conservative who was doing an apparel line that, you know, ended up getting made in China and she got in a lot of trouble with that.

01:10:03.000 And I was like, I don't want to be her.

01:10:05.000 So they were like, dude, and my business partner came back to me.

01:10:08.000 I was like, dude, you're not getting an action figure made in the United States.

01:10:11.000 Right.

01:10:11.000 And I was like, that's BS, man.

01:10:13.000 I'm going to find one.

01:10:13.000 I'm going to go on.

01:10:14.000 I'm going to go.

01:10:15.000 I spent like two weeks trying to find any action figure.

01:10:19.000 Because you'd think that there'd be a huge market for like 80s action figures.

01:10:22.000 Retro.

01:10:23.000 Hey, like, let me 3D print one of like me and my buddies and little action figures.

01:10:27.000 Nothing.

01:10:27.000 Doesn't exist.

01:10:29.000 All China. 0.99

01:10:29.000 I bet you could easily hire a bad guitar player to come and serenade you though. 0.99

01:10:35.000 Precisely.

01:10:36.000 Yeah, easily.

01:10:37.000 So by the way, if anyone out there is handy with the 3D printing and can do this at scale, you know, economically, hit me up because I'd still do it.

01:10:45.000 So it sounds like I should just buy one?

01:10:48.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:10:50.000 It seems like...

01:10:53.000 America is in this illusory state.

01:10:56.000 People seem to think that it's still this shining city on the hill.

01:11:00.000 We don't have factories anymore.

01:11:02.000 We don't have jobs anymore.

01:11:03.000 We don't make stuff anymore.

01:11:05.000 We complain a lot.

01:11:05.000 When you talk about America standing on the international stage with all the controversy about the Olympics and the Olympic team right now, Not even to get into any one of the specifics, but you just, you, you look at when I was a kid, we had the dream team.

01:11:17.000 You remember that in 1992, that was the first year they allowed professionals to play on the Olympic team.

01:11:22.000 Cause we, I think the U S had gotten spanked by the Soviets the year before or two years before or something.

01:11:27.000 And they were like, all right, none, or I guess the Olympics before, cause it's obviously the union then they said, all right, we're going to allow professionals.

01:11:33.000 And then you had like, Jordan and Scottie Pippen and Charles Barkley and Carl Malone, Patrick Ewing, etc.

01:11:41.000 Like they're all that Larry Bird and they're all there on one team.

01:11:44.000 Right.

01:11:44.000 And they just dominate the most dominant team ever put together.

01:11:47.000 Right.

01:11:48.000 But then you look at Magic Johnson was on the team and then you go and you just look at the caliber of like Olympic athletes and it's just kind of it's it's get well go broke, man.

01:11:57.000 In our standing in the work and this this woke stuff doesn't fly on the international stage.

01:12:02.000 So here in the United States, you have to kind of make this performative, you know, agreement, this adherence.

01:12:07.000 Logan Paul, of course, he bends the knee to, you know, Kendi ism, CRT ism.

01:12:13.000 And you sort of have to.

01:12:14.000 It's like in China where you have to say, oh, yeah, I support the CCP, whether you do or not.

01:12:18.000 Right.

01:12:18.000 You have to say it because that is your theory of the state.

01:12:21.000 Well, are the theory of our state now has almost because it used to be that I can remember within living memory that if somebody botched, I think it was Lady Gaga, like botched the national anthem at something and she was ridiculed for it.

01:12:36.000 Right.

01:12:36.000 I mean, it was a huge deal.

01:12:38.000 Now it's considered positive and laudatory to ridicule the national anthem and to protest it.

01:12:45.000 Well, let's let's let's talk on the international stage.

01:12:48.000 You can see the decline of America as a nation.

01:12:53.000 Simone Biles.

01:12:57.000 I don't know Simone Biles. 0.99

01:12:59.000 I don't know her story.

01:13:00.000 I'm sure she has one.

01:13:01.000 I'm a Catholic.

01:13:02.000 I pray for her the same way I pray for everybody else.

01:13:04.000 I think she actually is Catholic.

01:13:06.000 I might be wrong about that, but I think she is.

01:13:10.000 She dropped out.

01:13:12.000 Well, I think she got pulled out.

01:13:13.000 Did she pull or did she get dropped?

01:13:17.000 I think she took herself out. 0.74

01:13:19.000 And now she's out completely, I guess.

01:13:21.000 And so the issue for me, though, is why is it as a society now?

01:13:27.000 And I pray for her.

01:13:29.000 I pray for Simone Biles.

01:13:30.000 But at the same time, I'm not going to go to my son and say that you should make your role model... She's a Catholic.

01:13:37.000 I've heard she's Catholic, right? I thought I was right. I think she wore a medal, a miraculous

01:13:40.000 medal at one point. That's how I knew. And my brother posted something. And I'm not going to

01:13:46.000 go to my son and say, hey, let's celebrate someone for not accomplishing. That's where we've been

01:13:51.000 going for a long time with the honor roll mention, the participation trophies, that kind of thing.

01:13:57.000 So, Simone Biles, man, she's best of the best. 0.97

01:14:00.000 I mean, she's incredible.

01:14:02.000 She landed, I guess, in qualifier.

01:14:05.000 They got mad because she did that double Yurochenko, whatever it was called. 0.65

01:14:08.000 I'm not a gymnastics person.

01:14:09.000 Well, the idea was that it was she had surpassed the previous skill level and they didn't even have a skill level for the defeat that she attempted.

01:14:18.000 So she wouldn't gain, she would get her name in the book for like a maneuver or whatever. 1.00

01:14:22.000 And so she's doing really, really well.

01:14:24.000 But she flubbed a few moves then because of her mental health pulled out. 0.99

01:14:29.000 That is an indication of the failure of our culture.

01:14:35.000 That you would have an Olympic athlete having those mental issues, like not getting... I mean, proper training isn't just your body, it's your mind and your body.

01:14:45.000 And so a breakdown of an athlete is a failure across the board.

01:14:48.000 It's right.

01:14:49.000 I mean, I take this as an indictment of the entire social strata that put her into that position that puts us all into this position.

01:14:57.000 And then we celebrate it.

01:14:58.000 Right.

01:14:58.000 You look at the response of the actual story here isn't Simone Biles.

01:15:04.000 The actual story is that if you were a journalist in sports today, You know what I'm sick of?

01:15:08.000 something that went against the grain and said that you, you disagreed with that decision

01:15:14.000 or that you don't celebrate what happened, you would lose your job.

01:15:18.000 You know what I'm saying?

01:15:19.000 You would lose your job in America today.

01:15:20.000 I'm sick of the hive mind, man.

01:15:22.000 You know, Charlie went against the hive.

01:15:23.000 You're done.

01:15:25.000 He was recording his podcast and he said that Simone Biles gave a gift or something to the Russians, something like that.

01:15:31.000 Oh, I think, yeah, the Russians got the gold medal, I believe. 1.00

01:15:34.000 And then I see a bunch of these posts where everyone's like, Charlie's so dumb, like, Phil DeFranco comes out and like, Charlie's a dick. 1.00

01:15:40.000 And I'm like, shut up, dude. 1.00

01:15:42.000 Phil, listen, you don't know anything about Charlie, okay? 0.97

01:15:45.000 He's a guy with an opinion. 1.00

01:15:47.000 All this is is people with no opinions who don't actually care and have any thoughts of their own wading into stupid drama. 1.00

01:15:53.000 Let me tell you something. 0.95

01:15:54.000 If somebody wants to opine on Simone Biles, who is like the cream of the crop, the best of the best in the Olympics, and she bails out for mental health issues, and they have a negative view of that, I say, interesting.

01:16:03.000 Am I gonna make a video where I'm like, oh, that Charlie Kirk, who cares?

01:16:07.000 Charlie Kirk's a commentator. 1.00

01:16:08.000 Opining on opinions is the stupidest thing ever. 1.00

01:16:11.000 But out of the woodwork comes every stupid person who's like, I've got nothing better to say but then to just rag on a guy who had an opinion about a thing, which is totally irrelevant to the Olympics and the conversation. 1.00

01:16:20.000 Great, but that... 0.99

01:16:21.000 That hive mind provoked response is actually quite useful for us because it is revealing to us in its response to defend itself.

01:16:33.000 We are seeing the contours of the hive mind in and of itself.

01:16:37.000 I just, you know, I despise NPCs.

01:16:40.000 It's just, you know, the conformists who don't read, who don't learn, who don't think, who just say, tell me what to do!

01:16:47.000 I've never been in favor of that.

01:16:48.000 I grew up, when I was younger, I wouldn't say that I was like, you know, the punks get mad when I'm like, oh, I listen to punk music.

01:16:54.000 No, you didn't name a band! 0.91

01:16:55.000 And I'm like, shut up, didn't name a band. 0.98

01:16:58.000 The virus or whatever. 0.99

01:16:59.000 Hanging out with a bunch of people who played a bunch of crazy punk music, and the main thing was, we were anti-establishment, we were skateboarders, we were running from cops and security guards, and we said, the system is broken, we don't care, your rules are stupid, screw your conformity, and now what we have are these people on the left who still think they're punk rock. 0.96

01:17:16.000 They are as anti-punk rock as you can get. 0.87

01:17:18.000 Charlie Kirk is trending on Twitter, and I look at it, I'm like, why?

01:17:23.000 Why do these people care about Charlie Kirk?

01:17:25.000 They don't.

01:17:26.000 What they care about is virtue signaling.

01:17:28.000 Letting everybody know, I'm cool, I'm part of the tribe too, so I'm gonna talk about this guy that's not relevant to the Olympics.

01:17:34.000 It's a waste of my time.

01:17:35.000 If I wanna bring up something about Simone Biles, I don't even think I'm relevant to the conversation.

01:17:40.000 If people wanna listen to what I have to say about it, they can, but she's the center focus of this.

01:17:44.000 I think it's really bad that we're celebrating.

01:17:47.000 There was like a news article where it's like... Why is it in today's society, we want to celebrate mental health as if that is something in itself which should be celebrated rather than achievement for achievement's sake.

01:18:04.000 Because we are losing our mental health.

01:18:07.000 It used to be that we had our mental health.

01:18:09.000 We were resilient.

01:18:11.000 We were mature.

01:18:12.000 We could deal with crises and hardship.

01:18:14.000 And we could do it with a straight face.

01:18:17.000 The opposite of mental disorder is mental resilience.

01:18:19.000 You were in the Navy.

01:18:21.000 You were in a submarine, right?

01:18:23.000 I would spend some time on a sub, yeah.

01:18:25.000 Have you ever been on a naval vessel during a crisis?

01:18:29.000 Training, and well, yeah, I guess you could say I've been in some heightened situations on a naval vessel.

01:18:34.000 You ever see a general just start, like, breaking down saying, I'm going to leave the battle because of my mental health.

01:18:40.000 This is not something I can be dealing with right now.

01:18:42.000 And they're like, that's honorable, General.

01:18:44.000 Good for you.

01:18:44.000 Well, you don't see that on Twitter every day now with these generals.

01:18:47.000 Oh, yeah, I know.

01:18:47.000 Mark Milley, man.

01:18:48.000 That guy lost his mind. 0.92

01:18:49.000 Mark Milley, this guy Pat Donahoe, who said, you're being a shill for poof.

01:18:52.000 Putin if you say I'm asked about it.

01:18:54.000 He, by the way, private, you know, set his account to private today.

01:18:57.000 Oh wow.

01:18:58.000 These guys can't handle a Twitter war.

01:19:00.000 How could they actually ever handle a real war?

01:19:03.000 Could you imagine taking one of these, you know, I think I said this last time I was on here, but the, and I

01:19:09.000 do this to make a point.

01:19:12.000 The U.S.

01:19:13.000 Navy would not be prepared to defend Taiwan in a scenario if China wanted to take it tomorrow. 0.52

01:19:20.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:19:20.000 They would lose.

01:19:21.000 They would lose.

01:19:22.000 And imagine what that would do to the American psyche overnight to lose in a state on state conflict like that, a near peer competitor.

01:19:31.000 They'd cheer for it.

01:19:32.000 Where you'd have half the country.

01:19:34.000 Well, you'd have to have the country cheering for it.

01:19:35.000 But think of the American right and think of the conservative Americans and even think of like a lot of just sort of the You know, kind of normie Americans out there.

01:19:43.000 You're sort of like, hey, I'm just kind of going through life and doing my thing.

01:19:47.000 America's the best, etc.

01:19:48.000 Right?

01:19:49.000 When you're told you are not the best and you understand that your system is... No, I don't.

01:19:53.000 I think the average person won't care.

01:19:56.000 I think the average Democrat will be like, hey, it's none of our business.

01:19:59.000 Good for China. 0.99

01:19:59.000 And they would cheer it on. 0.99

01:20:00.000 And they would say, you know, it's actually a good thing that China has reclaimed Taiwan because, you know, we shouldn't be meddling in their affairs.

01:20:06.000 All of a sudden becoming anti-war in that regard.

01:20:09.000 You would see regular people... Let me be clear, I don't want to go to war with China. 0.53

01:20:13.000 No, no, I know, I know.

01:20:13.000 No, I really don't.

01:20:14.000 But you would see regular people say, oh... I've had too many conversations with regular people when I lived in New York.

01:20:21.000 You know, people who don't pay attention to politics.

01:20:22.000 Let me write regular people.

01:20:24.000 Politically uninitiated.

01:20:25.000 And I'll be like, so, that Obama.

01:20:28.000 Yeah, one of the first things he did when he got into office was he bombed a Pakistani village, killing like 23 women and children.

01:20:32.000 And they go, oh... I'm like, do you care?

01:20:35.000 No.

01:20:35.000 Here's the difference, right?

01:20:36.000 Here's what I think is different, is that it's not about, to the average American, it wouldn't be about Taiwan.

01:20:41.000 It would be about America clearly and definitively losing a war.

01:20:47.000 Yeah, but... Which is something that... If China goes for... You know, you look at a lot of wars, like 1812, did the U.S. 0.53

01:20:52.000 really win that?

01:20:53.000 You know, not so much.

01:20:53.000 Well, everybody claims... You know, they claim that the U.S.

01:20:55.000 has never lost a war, but how tenable is that at this point, right?

01:20:59.000 Regular people... Here's what I think would happen.

01:21:02.000 China will move to take Taiwan.

01:21:04.000 They'll go from the air.

01:21:05.000 They'll take out the, you know, any opposition on the ground.

01:21:07.000 They'll beach the island.

01:21:09.000 and they'll take it over and it'll be big breaking news and then the left will claim to have some 0.99

01:21:15.000 expertise all these stupid twitter people who don't actually read and see facebook memes will 0.97

01:21:18.000 be like well here's what i think about taiwan i don't care what you think about taiwan and then 0.99

01:21:21.000 regular people are going to be like huh and then something will happen their computers will double

01:21:25.000 in cost or triple in cost or just become unavailable because what does taiwan have chips all your

01:21:31.000 microchips your semiconductors your transistors that entire industry right and

01:21:37.000 And by the way, I wish this wasn't the situation.

01:21:39.000 I wish that a lot of that was onshored to the United States.

01:21:43.000 But again, by policy, since the 1990s, we've been offshoring all this stuff.

01:21:49.000 San Diego, by the way.

01:21:50.000 San Diego was the birthplace of this industry, and all of it was shipped overseas to Taiwan and Korea, right?

01:21:56.000 All of this was gone.

01:21:57.000 This country has been extracted.

01:21:59.000 Dylan Rattigan said it a long time ago, maybe not in the same context, but a similar context.

01:22:03.000 The country has been extracted.

01:22:04.000 You know what I think happened?

01:22:05.000 I think 2008 was a wake-up call for a lot of people, a lot of Democrats.

01:22:08.000 You know, look, you look at Bernie Sanders in 2008 and he's like, we need a border barrier!

01:22:12.000 Open borders are a bad thing! 0.97

01:22:14.000 You see Hillary Clinton and Pelosi and Biden, they're all like, we must build a border barrier!

01:22:18.000 Illegal immigration is bad! 1.00

01:22:19.000 And then the economic collapse happened and they said, well, we just hit an iceberg.

01:22:23.000 I'm gonna try and steal as much silverware as possible before I get on a life raft.

01:22:27.000 Right.

01:22:27.000 And so the idea of the Obama administration, and they're quite open about this, if you actually look at what the National Security Advisors and the Deputy National Security Advisors, Ben Rhodes, etc., have actually said in their own writings, they said, since the United States is in what we're putting it into is a managed decline, Right.

01:22:45.000 We know that we are going to need help from our peers in other regions of the world to be able to enforce things.

01:22:52.000 So why should we be the ones who are enforcing international norms, international laws?

01:22:57.000 Maybe China can help us out.

01:22:59.000 Maybe we can pass off some of this responsibility to China when it comes to Asia.

01:23:03.000 There's a life raft for everybody, in my opinion.

01:23:06.000 And I'm not going to tell you what to do with your money.

01:23:09.000 Take financial advice from somebody else.

01:23:10.000 But I think it's Bitcoin.

01:23:11.000 Right.

01:23:11.000 So again, we've been put in this path by policy.

01:23:15.000 Right.

01:23:15.000 That's clear.

01:23:16.000 We don't have to be on it.

01:23:18.000 Right.

01:23:18.000 We can get off of it.

01:23:19.000 We can we can right the ship.

01:23:21.000 You know, this this has all gone on within the last 30 years.

01:23:24.000 That's not that much time.

01:23:26.000 Right.

01:23:26.000 We can actually make these decisions.

01:23:28.000 However, people need to understand that there are massive economic interests in between us righting the ship or staying on this path towards managed decline and serfdom and the rise of a new peasant slave class of the underlings, right? 0.95

01:23:47.000 The under-society, right?

01:23:48.000 So you have an over-society that's pushing for all these things to happen.

01:23:52.000 They are stateless.

01:23:53.000 They are multinational.

01:23:55.000 They are tied in with the CCP.

01:23:56.000 They're tied in with everything else.

01:23:58.000 And they want you to be the consumer, right?

01:24:01.000 Your job is to consume.

01:24:03.000 Uh, you are like, if you watch Wally, right?

01:24:05.000 You know, you're, you're the guy who's sitting there and you're in your chair and you don't even have a, my pillow and you're, you're hooked up to the machine and you're tweeting.

01:24:15.000 And there's, there's actually this great.

01:24:16.000 That's why they don't talk about Wally that much anymore.

01:24:18.000 Cause I think it was too real.

01:24:20.000 And a lot of Christian symbolism in there.

01:24:24.000 Eve, and it's like an arc, right, of humanity.

01:24:27.000 Where there's this joke as Wally's going around, everyone's in a blue suit, but he turns them into red when they become activated.

01:24:33.000 And then there's this running gag, like, wait, we have a pool?

01:24:35.000 Right and they kind of realize that their screens go off and they realize instead of just trending and they're just comment It's Facebook, right?

01:24:41.000 So they're all just commenting on like the minutiae of day-to-day life and they have no bones They have no yeah, they have no bones then and they have like slushies that are you know ordered to their cart whenever they need it and And then suddenly they start realizing, like, hey, we're in outer space.

01:24:57.000 Like, this is pretty cool.

01:24:58.000 And we have a pool.

01:25:00.000 We're on a nice ship.

01:25:00.000 We can talk to each other.

01:25:02.000 You know why I don't think WALL-E would happen?

01:25:04.000 In one aspect, that everyone being— We'd never be able to make a ship that works?

01:25:07.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:25:09.000 There's a physiological addiction to athletics.

01:25:12.000 You know, to sports and to exercise.

01:25:15.000 Well, for some people, maybe.

01:25:17.000 get addicted to it. For sure, but the idea that every single person would be overweight

01:25:22.000 just floating around in chairs, there's a lot of people who would get that hit, that

01:25:25.000 dopamine, that runner's high.

01:25:27.000 And maybe those people refuse to get on the ship.

01:25:29.000 Yeah, I guess. No, we'll just die here on Earth or something.

01:25:31.000 We're just gonna die here with the trash piles, man. 1.00

01:25:33.000 The trash piles. 0.97

01:25:35.000 You know, you know what?

01:25:37.000 Let me tell you, I think, uh... Graphene.

01:25:40.000 I think, uh... First we get to graphene, okay?

01:25:44.000 Is that how you think Ian sounds?

01:25:45.000 I don't know, I'm just kind of doing a character at that point.

01:25:47.000 He's like, dude, graphene.

01:25:48.000 He's not that bad, yeah.

01:25:49.000 He's probably watching, he's like, Jack!

01:25:52.000 I don't sound like that.

01:25:53.000 You know what, man?

01:25:55.000 Here's my prediction.

01:25:56.000 I've been saying this for a while.

01:25:57.000 Vaccines will be mandatory, in my opinion. 1.00

01:25:59.000 It's gonna be like this.

01:26:01.000 I think everyone knows that's coming for the military, right?

01:26:04.000 No, no, I'm saying for everyone.

01:26:05.000 I'm saying everyone.

01:26:06.000 You know why?

01:26:07.000 Here's what'll happen.

01:26:08.000 In maybe 20 years, you'll go to the DMV, you're getting your license updated or whatever.

01:26:12.000 Or you're getting your ID for the first time and they'll go, I need a birth certificate, social security card, I need your vaccination card, and a bill with your address on it.

01:26:20.000 And they'll go, oh, yep, I got it all right here.

01:26:22.000 And I'll go, okay, and then I'll type it.

01:26:23.000 I'm like, here's your ID.

01:26:24.000 It'll be a part of the process like normal.

01:26:26.000 Like we saw with that photo of the airport.

01:26:27.000 Is that a real photo?

01:26:28.000 You see that where it's like... That was my buddy, John Dutois, who worked on a ton of film projects together.

01:26:35.000 And he said it wasn't his photo, but someone had sent it to him.

01:26:38.000 He's Canadian.

01:26:40.000 So I haven't fact-checked it, but it shows airport lines.

01:26:42.000 He said it was a separate airport line coming into Canada, so a Canadian customs line, one for vaccinated, one for unvaccinated.

01:26:50.000 Yeah, de Blasio said the voluntary phase is over.

01:26:52.000 I mean, this reminds me of Gatica.

01:26:55.000 Remember the valids and the invalids?

01:26:57.000 Oh, I haven't seen it moving in a long time.

01:26:59.000 Oh, that's everything.

01:26:59.000 But I bring this up because to paint a picture of this future where Americans don't make stuff.

01:27:05.000 Americans are like WALL-E, but not like floating around in hover chairs.

01:27:08.000 We don't have hover chairs.

01:27:09.000 But they're mostly going to do nothing.

01:27:10.000 They're becoming more and more obese.

01:27:12.000 They don't work.

01:27:13.000 They get free money from the government.

01:27:14.000 It is a managed decline.

01:27:15.000 Giving people this money... You know Tesla said this in the 1920s.

01:27:19.000 What?

01:27:19.000 Managed decline?

01:27:20.000 No, he said that we that we will reach a point with materialism, where the average person lives as if they're in a bee colony.

01:27:30.000 He predicted bug men.

01:27:31.000 I think the unemployment benefits are them lowering down people into economic collapse.

01:27:38.000 They're trying to hold you back from, you know, going nuts as the economy implodes while they shuffle off overseas their assets and resources.

01:27:47.000 Oh, yeah.

01:27:47.000 And they buy a Bitcoin and things like that.

01:27:50.000 And then you're sitting here going like, well, I'm getting my money.

01:27:52.000 And then one day, rug gets pulled out from under you and you are a serf.

01:27:57.000 That's where I think we're going.

01:27:58.000 You were talking about the chickens, but everybody needs to pay attention.

01:28:01.000 Where are your eggs, right?

01:28:03.000 What basket do you have your eggs in, right?

01:28:06.000 We talk about our nest egg.

01:28:07.000 We talk about all these different things that we have planned for us, right?

01:28:11.000 Start thinking about that now, right?

01:28:13.000 Start thinking about that in your 20s.

01:28:14.000 Max out your 20s as much as possible.

01:28:16.000 Absolutely as much as possible.

01:28:17.000 Whenever someone comes to me, and I just did the, I was at the Turning Point, like the student event they had in Tampa, and you know, with all the controversy of Randy.

01:28:27.000 And people would come up to me and say, you know, what advice would you give if we're just getting started, you know?

01:28:33.000 And these are like high school kids saying this.

01:28:35.000 I say, just max out.

01:28:37.000 You are in right now.

01:28:38.000 You are at the time of your life.

01:28:40.000 Do not rest in, don't keep it in neutral, right?

01:28:43.000 You need to be peddled to the metal through your teenage years, through your 20s, and then figure out where you're going to go, right?

01:28:50.000 So that by the time you're in your 30s, you're just grinding.

01:28:52.000 Right, your 30s should all be about just grinding, grinding, and then at that point you can start to slow down.

01:29:00.000 Do you use Instagram a bit?

01:29:02.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:29:04.000 I'm on the gram.

01:29:05.000 Do you like adventure content, hiking, travel stuff at all?

01:29:08.000 Sure.

01:29:08.000 So there's like three kinds of videos that I watch.

01:29:13.000 There's three kinds of things recommended to me.

01:29:14.000 Typically political comics.

01:29:16.000 Mostly adventure content.

01:29:18.000 I mean like when you hit the search thing, yeah.

01:29:20.000 And action sports.

01:29:21.000 Scootering, blading, snowboarding, skateboarding.

01:29:24.000 And you know what I'm just so sick of?

01:29:26.000 Avicii, The Knights.

01:29:27.000 You ever hear that song?

01:29:28.000 No.

01:29:28.000 Go on Instagram.

01:29:30.000 Search for like... But I probably have, I just don't know the name of it.

01:29:32.000 You have?

01:29:32.000 Yeah.

01:29:33.000 If you get recommended these videos, the reels of like... Yeah, in reels, yeah.

01:29:38.000 Hiking and skydiving and parachuting, I swear like...

01:29:43.000 9 out of 10 videos uses that song.

01:29:46.000 And it's just so corny.

01:29:48.000 But you know what?

01:29:48.000 It really bums me out because it shows you just how generic everyone is.

01:29:53.000 Everybody thinks they're this beautiful, unique snowflake.

01:29:56.000 And you know the phrase snowflake?

01:29:57.000 You know where it comes from?

01:29:58.000 Fight Club?

01:29:59.000 That's the line.

01:30:00.000 We all thought we were these beautiful... Our parents said we were unique snowflakes.

01:30:03.000 We're not.

01:30:04.000 You thought you were going to be a rock star.

01:30:05.000 You're not.

01:30:05.000 These people make these videos that are all just so generic.

01:30:08.000 And man, is it depressing.

01:30:10.000 To see everybody just cranking out generic, same old, same old stuff.

01:30:13.000 And it's all the same stuff.

01:30:14.000 It's all the same.

01:30:15.000 We don't make stuff anymore, man.

01:30:16.000 We don't make stuff.

01:30:17.000 That's what NPCs is.

01:30:18.000 I'm gonna make stuff!

01:30:19.000 I got a 3D printer.

01:30:20.000 It's not creative.

01:30:21.000 We're gonna make weird stuff.

01:30:23.000 It's like every movie now is stuck in, like, rerun mode.

01:30:25.000 Like, every time I go to watch a movie, I feel like I've seen this.

01:30:28.000 We went to see the new M. Night Shyamalan movie.

01:30:32.000 Oh, man.

01:30:32.000 Where they're on the beach.

01:30:34.000 It's, like, old.

01:30:35.000 Yeah.

01:30:36.000 And it just, like... It was awful.

01:30:38.000 It actually wasn't that bad.

01:30:39.000 I'd give it a B. Oh, okay.

01:30:40.000 Hey, I'm surprised.

01:30:42.000 And I hated Glass, his last one.

01:30:44.000 Really?

01:30:45.000 I liked that one.

01:30:45.000 I didn't like it at all.

01:30:47.000 I felt it ruined the legacy of Unbroken.

01:30:50.000 I liked it.

01:30:52.000 Or Unbreakable.

01:30:55.000 Unbreakable was good though.

01:30:57.000 It's the best superhero movie ever made.

01:31:01.000 The only thing with the film, though, is I just felt like I'd seen it before.

01:31:05.000 I felt it was going through the motions and it was like... Predictable.

01:31:09.000 Yeah, you kind of know going into it that, hey, it's a beach where everybody gets old really fast.

01:31:14.000 That's the movie!

01:31:15.000 And that's it.

01:31:16.000 That's the whole movie.

01:31:17.000 And, you know, no spoiler alerts, but, like, there's... This is another question I have.

01:31:21.000 There isn't even any big, like... It's just the characters go through the movie.

01:31:25.000 That's it?

01:31:26.000 Like, you just... That's it.

01:31:27.000 There's no reveal?

01:31:28.000 I mean, do you want... No, whatever.

01:31:31.000 People can see it, but I'm just saying that walking out of it, I was like, I don't feel like I got anything out of that movie that I didn't see in the trailer.

01:31:39.000 Versus, like, I then went and saw... I was on the flight back home from Phoenix, and I was watching the Forever Purge.

01:31:45.000 And, you know, say what you want about, you know, those Purge movies.

01:31:48.000 And they're all, they're all insane, right? 1.00

01:31:49.000 They're all crazy. 0.98

01:31:50.000 But like, you don't know how it's gonna end, right?

01:31:52.000 You've never, and you have no clue what's gonna happen.

01:31:54.000 That's why they make so many of them, I guess.

01:31:56.000 Right, exactly.

01:31:56.000 Well, let's go to Super Chats!

01:31:58.000 Alright!

01:31:58.000 Let's see what the people have to Super Chat.

01:31:59.000 If you haven't already, give us those Super Chats and smash that like button.

01:32:02.000 And apparently now...

01:32:03.000 CCP delenda est.

01:32:05.000 CCP delenda est.

01:32:06.000 What?

01:32:06.000 What is that?

01:32:07.000 CCP must take down the CCP.

01:32:09.000 Oh, okay.

01:32:09.000 In Latin.

01:32:10.000 There's a super thanks.

01:32:12.000 Now, I guess you can super thank us.

01:32:14.000 Wait, I thought you said it was only the... I don't know if it's only, but I think it's basically super chat for regular videos.

01:32:19.000 Okay.

01:32:20.000 So you can, like, leave a comment, but pay, and it appears at the top, whatever.

01:32:23.000 It's super comments, I guess.

01:32:24.000 Amazing.

01:32:25.000 I call it super thanks.

01:32:26.000 But I guess people... You know what this is gonna do, I think?

01:32:29.000 People are gonna advertise on videos.

01:32:31.000 They're going to go onto a video that's got a lot of views, and they're going to start outbidding each other for the top spot.

01:32:35.000 And they're going to be promoting their brand.

01:32:37.000 I'm going to have my pillow promos on all of your videos after this, Tim.

01:32:40.000 I hope you know.

01:32:41.000 Well, I'll tell you this.

01:32:42.000 If you spent money and you made more, I would gladly accept the humble pillow merchants comments.

01:32:49.000 I am but a humble pillow merchant.

01:32:52.000 All right, let's see what we got.

01:32:54.000 So this is the most comfortable episode I've ever done.

01:32:57.000 Oh, look at this guy.

01:32:58.000 Going for the lumbar support.

01:32:59.000 I have to be honest, these are great chairs.

01:33:01.000 Oh wow, that's actually really good.

01:33:03.000 So this is the supreme firmness on this one.

01:33:06.000 Oh, really?

01:33:07.000 Yeah, because actually Tanya got us a bunch of them, and so she did like a random... My pillow.

01:33:13.000 So there's different firmness levels you can get.

01:33:14.000 But this is key, by the way, and I am going to say this, and you have to put your MyPillows through one cycle in the dryer when you first purchase them.

01:33:24.000 There is a little card that says you need to do this, and it activates the interlocking foam on the inside.

01:33:32.000 Otherwise, they're kind of... I get all these comments every once in a while, maybe like 10%, they'll say, Oh man, it's all, this is so limp.

01:33:39.000 This is the worst pillow.

01:33:42.000 It's like, did, did you throw out the little card that said that guys put it through the dryer just one time?

01:33:49.000 Not even like 15 minutes is enough.

01:33:51.000 It doesn't even need to be the full 45 or whatever.

01:33:52.000 Just to clarify for everybody, these chairs actually did come with these like lumbar support things that were not that good.

01:33:58.000 The chairs are great.

01:33:58.000 These are great chairs by Boston, but everybody basically was like, I don't need this thing in my back.

01:34:02.000 So you end up... Actually with the pillow, this is quite nice.

01:34:05.000 I'm not gonna lie, this is actually pretty sweet.

01:34:07.000 We'll steal it from you and we'll keep it. 0.92

01:34:08.000 No way, man.

01:34:08.000 This is mine.

01:34:09.000 We'll write Poso on it.

01:34:10.000 I'll fight you for it.

01:34:11.000 All right, let's see what we got here.

01:34:13.000 Jacqueline Pierce says, Hi Tim, I sent an email earlier to see if you're hiring an archivist.

01:34:16.000 Please hire me.

01:34:18.000 I don't know what an archivist would do.

01:34:22.000 So I think an archivist is like someone who's kind of, they're archiving you.

01:34:27.000 They're archiving the show, the story.

01:34:29.000 Oh, I see.

01:34:29.000 It's almost like someone's writing a daily journal in real time for you.

01:34:35.000 I don't know if that's if we need that, but that would be kind of cool to have like a library of content and stuff like that.

01:34:41.000 Right.

01:34:41.000 So it's like something that like, you know, one day when all of this is over, it will all the whole story of.

01:34:48.000 We don't need an archivist, but we need fact-checkers.

01:34:50.000 We need a fact-checker slash frame-checker.

01:34:54.000 So this is somebody who's gonna go through a story and then be like, hey... I think frame-checkers are important.

01:34:58.000 Right, I don't, I, you know, because that's one thing the media doesn't do.

01:35:00.000 They don't fact-check anymore either.

01:35:02.000 So, but frame-checking is important because...

01:35:05.000 You know, someone could write... Well, I guess you get the point if you say that the Republicans are trying to pass a voter suppression bill.

01:35:13.000 That's framing.

01:35:14.000 Right.

01:35:16.000 My favorite one of these of all time, I forget who it was, but somebody wrote, they wrote, controversial University of Toronto professor Jordan Peterson.

01:35:27.000 Right.

01:35:27.000 And someone was like, wait a minute.

01:35:29.000 Why is it controversial?

01:35:31.000 But not even that is there's no position called the controversial professor at the University of Toronto psychology department.

01:35:37.000 It's just professor.

01:35:38.000 So why did you add that?

01:35:39.000 So adding that word is a framing device.

01:35:42.000 Oh, so yeah, we need a frame and fact checker, but I'll look at the resumes over at Jobs.

01:35:46.000 You can email jobs at TimGuess.com.

01:35:49.000 Conti123 says, Tim, can you look into California banning gaming PCs due to its high power usage?

01:35:56.000 The fridge uses more power than a PC.

01:35:57.000 Yeah, I heard that.

01:35:58.000 I saw the headline as well.

01:35:59.000 I think it's Bitcoin.

01:36:00.000 I think.

01:36:01.000 You think they're linking them?

01:36:02.000 Elizabeth Warren came out and she was like, there's a bunch of shadowy coders who are gonna have control of the money.

01:36:07.000 No, that's not true.

01:36:07.000 It's open source.

01:36:08.000 They're going after the gamers now.

01:36:09.000 They're going after the gamers.

01:36:10.000 Gaming PCs are used for money.

01:36:13.000 Yeah.

01:36:14.000 So they're gonna try and shut it all down.

01:36:15.000 The I'll say this, you know, and I know there's people that I know Peter Thiel is like not big on Bitcoin.

01:36:22.000 But I think there's a lot I think the establishment is is freaked out about Bitcoin.

01:36:27.000 Absolutely.

01:36:28.000 I don't think I actually disagree with Peter Thiel on that one.

01:36:31.000 I don't think Bitcoin is a Chinese plot or anything like that.

01:36:34.000 I actually think that it is something right.

01:36:36.000 And this, by the way, people get confused.

01:36:38.000 They say like, well, is it a good store of value?

01:36:39.000 You know, it's not about being like, like, it's an investment, right?

01:36:44.000 You can't think of it that way.

01:36:45.000 It is a currency that is separate from the federal system.

01:36:49.000 Yeah, a currency, call it whatever you want.

01:36:51.000 It's a system of value in whatever capacity.

01:36:52.000 Right, it's a system of value, right?

01:36:54.000 People look at it as investment property.

01:36:56.000 Okay, yeah, it goes up and it goes down, but that's not the way to think about it.

01:36:59.000 I don't think Peter Thiel is paying attention all that much, because if he was, I... Well, because...

01:37:04.000 Up until a couple of months ago, China was, like, super into Bitcoin, and they were using, like, oil rigs, and so... Sure, sure, sure, but I mean... I mean, I'm talking about the culture war, and what's happening with kids, and critical race applied principles.

01:37:14.000 Like, the dude could snap his fingers and create a functioning news outlet.

01:37:17.000 He nukes Gawker, and there's... And now Gawker's back.

01:37:21.000 Well, yeah, but it's a skin suit worn by other... But they're gonna be as creepy as Gawker was anyway.

01:37:26.000 It's gawky.

01:37:26.000 It's a skin suit, like the new Star Wars, and the new Human, and they're all skin suits.

01:37:30.000 But Peter Thiel, you know, he's the...

01:37:34.000 He's the guy, man.

01:37:35.000 He went after Gawker.

01:37:37.000 He was like, we're not going to play this fake news game.

01:37:39.000 He could snap his fingers and create 10 independent news outlets that did real journalism.

01:37:44.000 Peter, let's do it, man.

01:37:45.000 What do you think?

01:37:46.000 Look, you know, I'll be honest.

01:37:47.000 It's not so easy to do.

01:37:48.000 So he could figuratively snap his fingers and then he has the resources and the wealth to do it.

01:37:53.000 And he does know people who could do it.

01:37:55.000 But I'm surprised when I see very prominent and wealthy individuals who are critical of the media ecosystem and do nothing to fund it.

01:38:05.000 There's a handful of people I can name right now.

01:38:07.000 Well, to fund an alternate ecosystem.

01:38:09.000 Yeah!

01:38:10.000 Right.

01:38:10.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:38:11.000 To donate to, to contribute to, to invest in.

01:38:14.000 I'm not going to pretend it's an easy thing to do.

01:38:16.000 So even though I'm kind of like, they could do it, well, you know, they would need to find someone they trusted.

01:38:21.000 But there's a lot of really wealthy people that absolutely could be like, I want to see real journalism get done.

01:38:26.000 What can we do?

01:38:27.000 And then just ask somebody, hey, look into some people, let me know who you like.

01:38:31.000 But not only that, Some of these high-profile personalities promote journalists they do like and trust.

01:38:35.000 I'm like, well then, fund them!

01:38:37.000 Give them money to hire people and expand their operations.

01:38:39.000 You know what, I'll tell you this.

01:38:41.000 Fortunately for us, we launched this website, TimCast.com, got so many people to sign up, and make sure you become a member, that I was flabbergasted.

01:38:50.000 I couldn't believe it.

01:38:53.000 I think... Well, I'll spare the details in a certain regard.

01:38:57.000 I'll say this.

01:38:59.000 We gained so many members instantly that I was like, I guess we're launching a company from this.

01:39:04.000 You know, because otherwise I wouldn't know what to do with the memberships.

01:39:07.000 I'm not just going to do bonus segments and then have this capital.

01:39:12.000 And I was like, no, we're going to hire journalists, man.

01:39:13.000 We're going to take these resources and put it to incredible use.

01:39:17.000 What am I going to buy?

01:39:18.000 Do I need my own massive gym or like, I don't know, a theme park?

01:39:25.000 Spaceship.

01:39:26.000 Spaceship?

01:39:26.000 No!

01:39:27.000 If I was going to buy something and someone said, you can buy a, uh, you know, a Ferrari or you can buy a year of good journals in my book.

01:39:36.000 Did you see the good journalism dude?

01:39:37.000 Was it Virgin?

01:39:38.000 I think was saying that the, the, the price was like less than a Ferrari to fly on it.

01:39:44.000 Oh, to fly into space or whatever?

01:39:45.000 Yeah.

01:39:45.000 Oh.

01:39:45.000 But it was only like a couple of- They're doing rocket planes.

01:39:48.000 It was only like a couple of minutes, so I was like, yeah, I don't know if I'd pay that much for just a couple of minutes.

01:39:52.000 I'm pretty sure Virgin is doing rocket planes, where the plane goes up, gets real close, and then a rocket thrusts into orbit and then comes back down.

01:39:58.000 That's right, that's right.

01:39:58.000 All right, let's see what we got.

01:40:00.000 Nicholas Lipset says, on your video of evictions, a former friend of mine lived with me for college in a house my family owned.

01:40:07.000 He moved to another city, refused to pay rent, and bought a new car.

01:40:10.000 Screwed us out of 3K+.

01:40:10.000 Yikes.

01:40:13.000 David Kuchanowicz says, in honor of Ian, insert the Federal Reserve comment here.

01:40:18.000 That's right, everybody.

01:40:19.000 Pour out a super chat for Ian.

01:40:21.000 He is sick today.

01:40:23.000 Making too much bread.

01:40:24.000 Not the Rona, though.

01:40:25.000 Just so everybody knows.

01:40:26.000 Not the Rona.

01:40:27.000 Not the Rona.

01:40:28.000 iSirToast says, oh, it's just SirToast.

01:40:31.000 Fourth super chat.

01:40:32.000 Net revenue five minutes before the show starts.

01:40:34.000 Someone knocked on my door offering the COVID jab.

01:40:37.000 They're going door to door in MN now.

01:40:39.000 Time for me to move.

01:40:40.000 Really?

01:40:41.000 You're not even gonna move.

01:40:42.000 You're just telling me to go, right?

01:40:46.000 I don't know.

01:40:47.000 I think... Have you seen the video from North Carolina?

01:40:49.000 They're administering the vaccine on the porch.

01:40:51.000 Wow.

01:40:51.000 Do you see that video of the army guys walking with 7-Eleven and giving the vaccine to a guy working there?

01:40:57.000 I'm like, dude, this is... Optics.

01:41:00.000 Optics, right.

01:41:02.000 Google announced that they're gonna mandate vaccines for their employees.

01:41:05.000 Right.

01:41:05.000 I said, I wonder what'll happen if people refuse.

01:41:08.000 I wonder how many people will refuse and quit. 0.99

01:41:10.000 Cameron Kasky says, there'll be a bunch of job openings for people who aren't stupid. 0.98

01:41:14.000 And I was like, and there's gonna be a lot of people who can't get the vaccine and then don't, you know, lose their jobs. 0.98

01:41:21.000 And then, of course, cue the childish lack of wisdom response from many people, including Cameron.

01:41:27.000 You mean to tell me you're saying there will be no medical exemptions?

01:41:32.000 I just... Child.

01:41:33.000 Friend.

01:41:34.000 What do you think a medical exemption is?

01:41:37.000 Do they think that you can walk up and say, I hereby assert a medical exemption and say, okay, you can come on in.

01:41:43.000 No, they're going to be like, okay, here's our list of exemptions.

01:41:45.000 And one of the, many of the things won't be covered because exemptions don't cover everything.

01:41:51.000 If they did, people would just all claim it.

01:41:54.000 So what'll happen?

01:41:55.000 There are some medications that can cause, say, a severe tendinitis.

01:42:00.000 They might say, we're not going to exempt you from this medication because of the side effects.

01:42:05.000 You might say, well, I have an underlying health condition that I could get this, but I'm concerned about the risk, so I'm going to choose not to.

01:42:12.000 Well, you chose not to, you're fine.

01:42:13.000 There was that girl at BYU who had, she had the, what do you call it, Gillies-Bowers syndrome, and she's like, I can't take it.

01:42:21.000 They've told me that this is, you know, one of the main side effects.

01:42:24.000 But if you can't take it, that is understood with medical exemptions.

01:42:27.000 What if, uh, you might, what if, what if it's a woman who might be pregnant?

01:42:31.000 And so they say, you must get the vaccine.

01:42:33.000 Do you have any underlying health conditions that will prevent you from getting the vaccine?

01:42:37.000 No, but I might be pregnant.

01:42:39.000 Or what, well, take it back, they're trying to get pregnant. 1.00

01:42:41.000 Right.

01:42:42.000 And the doctors, my understanding, have advised, okay, well then you shouldn't get it.

01:42:45.000 Right.

01:42:46.000 So now they're like, uh, I think trying is, is not as good of an example as maybe, because she doesn't know.

01:42:52.000 And now they say, you have no choice, not, you have no confirmed pregnancy, so you're not exempt. 0.99

01:42:58.000 Okay, well, I might be.

01:43:00.000 My doctor says I shouldn't take it if I am, but we don't know for sure just yet.

01:43:04.000 So they're gonna say, I'm gonna choose not to get it.

01:43:05.000 Well, then you can leave.

01:43:06.000 Bye.

01:43:07.000 You lost your job.

01:43:08.000 There are so many people, by the way, who get out of deployments in the military by doing that.

01:43:12.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:43:14.000 Oh, I think I'm pregnant.

01:43:15.000 What if you're a cancer survivor?

01:43:19.000 The official medical policy on cancer survivors, as per the CDC, which I pulled up previously, is that you need to get clearance from your doctor specifically because they typically advise against many vaccines for cancer survivors.

01:43:31.000 They say there are serious risks for those who are immunocompromised from cancer treatments.

01:43:35.000 The doctor might say, the risk's low enough that I think you'll be okay to do it.

01:43:39.000 So you don't have the underlying condition, but you choose not to because of the potential risk.

01:43:43.000 Okay, you lose your job.

01:43:44.000 Right, so this- These kids think it's all black and white.

01:43:46.000 This gets into a... And by the way, those doctors, right?

01:43:51.000 They're going to err on the side of that, because if they know that this is the side that the insurance company's on, and this is the side that the employer's on, and that the government's on, they're gonna go with that, because they know then, well, I can't be sued because I was following the guidance, right?

01:44:07.000 So now you've got doctors, and this is a huge problem in the medical community, because you've got doctors that are following guidance and percentages and statistics rather than patients, Understanding what's going on with that biological life form that's sitting in front of them and what their specific situation might be.

01:44:25.000 Well, people's doctors are, but it's the greater culture of celebrities pushing the stuff and the mandates. 0.81

01:44:30.000 But we'll move on.

01:44:32.000 We got James Byrne says, it wasn't Bon Jovi.

01:44:34.000 It was Def Leppard with green M&Ms.

01:44:37.000 Oh, there you go.

01:44:37.000 Def Leppard and green M&Ms.

01:44:38.000 You were pretty close.

01:44:39.000 Well, I don't know.

01:44:40.000 I was close about that.

01:44:42.000 All right.

01:44:43.000 Let's see.

01:44:44.000 YevstakiCivic, I hope I'm pronouncing your name right.

01:44:47.000 Hey Tim, I'm a trucker.

01:44:49.000 And from my experience, freight rates went way up.

01:44:51.000 An increase of 40% since 2019.

01:44:53.000 The reason there's a shortage of drivers is because older ones retire, and starting pay in the industry struggles to compete with unemployment.

01:45:00.000 Wow!

01:45:02.000 This is them gutting the system, but letting everyone down slowly so they don't freak out when the system is gutted.

01:45:08.000 Right.

01:45:08.000 It's frogs in a pot, man.

01:45:11.000 All right, let's see.

01:45:12.000 Kunti Dominguez says, I work for a bank and we are now reaching out to individuals who can be evicted out as early as September 1st and the number is very large.

01:45:22.000 Love the show.

01:45:23.000 Wow, man.

01:45:24.000 Wow.

01:45:25.000 All right, Knight says, I joined timecast.com this past week.

01:45:28.000 I do not know how to join the after show on the website.

01:45:31.000 I am watching with my iPhone.

01:45:32.000 Do I need to be on PC?

01:45:34.000 Maybe it's time, Timcast.

01:45:36.000 You're on time.

01:45:37.000 This is like, this is like when, um, what's that the Mockbusters when, uh, the asylum puts out like, you know, there's the Avengers and then they'll put out a thing called super Avengers.

01:45:46.000 Right.

01:45:47.000 You know, and it's like right next, it's the, uh, you know, it's the Walmart brand, Tim pool.

01:45:51.000 Yeah.

01:45:52.000 Um, so on the homepage, if you're logged in, you will see the latest two members podcasts.

01:45:58.000 And then if you click members only, then you'll see a list of all of the members only show.

01:46:03.000 You can also click the search and search for a name and find all the members only segments we have.

01:46:07.000 Cause I think we're like, we have two with like, you know, Colonel, uh, Lieutenant Colonel Ellen West.

01:46:11.000 We've got a couple with a bunch of different people that have been on the show multiple times.

01:46:17.000 All right, let's see.

01:46:18.000 I actually got it.

01:46:19.000 I'm now a member of the whatever it's called.

01:46:23.000 And so I've been using it.

01:46:24.000 It's quite fun, actually.

01:46:25.000 Rampton says, Adrian Curry is trolling the chat again.

01:46:28.000 LOL.

01:46:29.000 Good.

01:46:30.000 We're glad.

01:46:31.000 She was a blast. 0.97

01:46:32.000 We had her on the show. 0.98

01:46:33.000 Everybody loves you, Adrian.

01:46:34.000 Thank you for hanging out.

01:46:36.000 Turk Longwell says, Tim, you'll be doing an underground pirate internet show in 2030.

01:46:40.000 You'll move around a lot, but don't worry, patriots will be everywhere.

01:46:43.000 I don't know, man.

01:46:44.000 I might just be in a van down by the river by 2030.

01:46:46.000 Yeah, with a ham radio.

01:46:48.000 Or I will own nothing and I will be happy.

01:46:50.000 You will be so happy.

01:46:51.000 I will be so happy.

01:46:52.000 I mean, you know, the thing is for me is... Could be a shot for that too.

01:46:55.000 I'm fairly minimalist.

01:46:56.000 I don't need things to be happy.

01:46:58.000 I like, I like, you know, chilling down by the river.

01:47:00.000 Yeah, that is something where, you know, I read a story recently about this family who

01:47:05.000 was, you know, dad wasn't struggling with alcoholism, you know, didn't like their thirties.

01:47:09.000 They had a couple of kids and they quit their jobs.

01:47:12.000 They both had nine to fives, cubicle jobs, quit that, bought, bought a bus, renovated

01:47:19.000 the entire thing from YouTube videos.

01:47:21.000 Like neither of them had any background in like work around the house or anything like

01:47:26.000 that.

01:47:27.000 So they bought a bus, YouTube videos, renovated the whole thing, got freelance jobs, and now

01:47:30.000 they just drive around the country with their kids.

01:47:33.000 And it's all about spending time together.

01:47:35.000 It's about making memories.

01:47:37.000 It's about living for your family.

01:47:39.000 And I just thought, man, that's, that's a better life.

01:47:42.000 And that, by the way, you want to quote, by the way, I would say this to all like the, you know, the DSA types and my Antifa friends and everything else.

01:47:50.000 You want to fight the system.

01:47:52.000 That's how you fight the system.

01:47:53.000 Get some chickens.

01:47:54.000 That's fighting the system.

01:47:56.000 Stop funding Wall Street taxes and big in the, in the war.

01:47:59.000 Just check out, literally just check out.

01:48:01.000 Dozerman says, I know this is off subject, but here in Central Florida, we didn't have a love bug season.

01:48:06.000 I saw one or two love bugs, but very strange to have them all over the place.

01:48:11.000 Could it be the apocalypse is happening?

01:48:12.000 Maybe the Cicadas ate them. 0.98

01:48:14.000 Yeah, maybe the Cicadas.

01:48:15.000 Did the Cicadas in Florida?

01:48:15.000 I don't know.

01:48:16.000 Yeah.

01:48:17.000 No, that was up here.

01:48:18.000 Yeah, I think Brute X was northern.

01:48:19.000 I don't know if it was southern.

01:48:20.000 But maybe some people brought them down when they were fleeing the lockdowns.

01:48:24.000 Yeah.

01:48:25.000 LG Ellucard says, Tim, if you want to understand the future that awaits America under the Democrats, watch the movie The Perfect Dictatorship.

01:48:32.000 Mind will be blown.

01:48:33.000 Haven't seen that.

01:48:34.000 Interesting.

01:48:35.000 But it's not just Democrats, and people need to understand that, that there are a ton of establishment Republicans, many of them brought off by Wall Street, many of them bought off by Silicon Valley, right?

01:48:45.000 They are going along to get along with all of this.

01:48:48.000 You saw this in the Trump administration, when there were people who said, we just need a better deal with China.

01:48:53.000 We just, we can't not have a deal with China.

01:48:56.000 We just need to find better terms and you know, etc, etc.

01:49:00.000 Give them more.

01:49:00.000 And then Trump would say, wow, I mean, if you guys are all for this, OK, we'll go for that.

01:49:05.000 But I wish he had just gone with his instincts on that, because you heard him on the campaign trail.

01:49:10.000 And they made fun of him, by the way.

01:49:11.000 They made fun of Trump for calling out China so much.

01:49:14.000 Yep.

01:49:15.000 All right.

01:49:16.000 7FD says, hey, Tim and Poso, I live close by La Jolla, Texas, next to the river.

01:49:21.000 Our legal admin traffics aliens into the country. 1.00

01:49:23.000 A lot of us are tired and people are freaking out.

01:49:26.000 If it ain't cartels, it's this mess.

01:49:28.000 Crazy. 0.77

01:49:29.000 Jason Green. 0.98

01:49:30.000 Huge business, by the way.

01:49:31.000 Cartel, the human trafficking, huge business.

01:49:33.000 And then when they get to port, you bring them back.

01:49:35.000 Right.

01:49:35.000 And then you gotta pay again.

01:49:37.000 That's right.

01:49:37.000 Money, money, money.

01:49:38.000 Jason Green says, Please invite Kurt Schlichter on to talk about Kelly Turnbull series. 0.95

01:49:43.000 Prophetic.

01:49:43.000 Heard about them last week and haven't been able to put down the series.

01:49:46.000 His books are starting to come true.

01:49:47.000 God help us all.

01:49:49.000 I'm pretty sure we've had Kurt on the show, right?

01:49:51.000 We have.

01:49:51.000 We'll have him back soon.

01:49:53.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:49:53.000 Kurt's hilarious.

01:49:54.000 My favorite thing about Kurt Schlichter is that he's always, I've never talked to him in a situation where he hasn't been on, right?

01:50:01.000 Like he's, even if it's just me and him on the phone, like he's cokin' and jokin' and just as hilarious as you'd think he would be at literally all times.

01:50:08.000 ReallyNow says, read in Greta voice, how dare you? 0.98

01:50:12.000 Voshed1985 says, Wawa sucks. 0.99

01:50:15.000 Sheets for the win. 0.99

01:50:17.000 The only thing true about Sheetz is its name.

01:50:18.000 Yeah, I was gonna say that.

01:50:20.000 I mean, look, we have Sheetz all over the place, and I ordered food from them, which is a funny thing to do from a gas station, and I'm not gonna do it again because its name stood true.

01:50:29.000 Yep.

01:50:30.000 Sheetz gives you the... I'm not trying to be mean, you know, like a lot of people like them, but... All right.

01:50:36.000 Amanda says, POSO 2024.

01:50:37.000 Oh, there you go.

01:50:38.000 We'll see.

01:50:39.000 We'll see.

01:50:41.000 Oxwagon says, hello from South Africa.

01:50:42.000 Today, while I was buying groceries, I had to listen to the leader of our fastest growing political party at a hate rally outside, yelling about how he's going to teach white people some manners.

01:50:51.000 It's like Weimar Germany. 0.54

01:50:52.000 Sad.

01:50:53.000 Yikes.

01:50:53.000 I mean, that's the critical race theory in action country right there.

01:50:57.000 David Burleson says, Ian is sick from sniffing all that graphene he's been hoarding.

01:51:01.000 Just imagine, like, Ian, he's got, like, black graphene all over his nose, and his eyes are, like, bloodshot, and he's like, uh... Oh, so you saw him.

01:51:09.000 Yeah.

01:51:10.000 He walked out of his room, he's like, uh... The experiment was a failure.

01:51:14.000 No, no, he was, like, seeing the future, man.

01:51:16.000 Number 27 will be a success.

01:51:17.000 DMT times 300.

01:51:20.000 All right, Green James says, Do you think that state convention is a possibility?

01:51:25.000 If so, would you support it?

01:51:26.000 What do you think is the best course of action that everyday citizens can take to preserve our Bill of Rights?

01:51:30.000 A state convention, I think it's possible, and I would support it.

01:51:34.000 What are we, two states away from a state convention or something like that?

01:51:37.000 You need 38 states, I think?

01:51:38.000 I mean, here's the thing, though.

01:51:42.000 You're not going to have a... You can have your state convention, but you're not going to get any traction without a meaningful percentage of the elites on your side, right?

01:51:54.000 You can have your convention, write up whatever you want, but it's not going to get any traction because, you know, you're still thinking... Well, a state convention bypasses the federal government, doesn't it?

01:52:03.000 It does.

01:52:03.000 But keep in mind that you're still thinking you're still in the mode of thinking that like elected representatives are the ones who are making the decisions.

01:52:09.000 Right.

01:52:10.000 They're just not.

01:52:11.000 So, I mean, you can you know, this is what I say to, you know, my my wayward libertarian friends that you say, oh, it's the state.

01:52:19.000 It's the state.

01:52:20.000 It is.

01:52:20.000 But the state isn't just the state.

01:52:22.000 Right.

01:52:22.000 That's why I talk about this concept of the overstate where they're, you know, The politicians are not the ones who are necessarily making these decisions.

01:52:28.000 Media, banks?

01:52:30.000 Yeah, you have to put it all together.

01:52:31.000 People like Ed Buck?

01:52:34.000 The greatest issue that's not talked about is the fact that Ed Buck was a known secret.

01:52:41.000 This is one of those open secrets in the Hollywood area for years and years.

01:52:46.000 Right.

01:52:47.000 And nobody said anything because he made donations to all the right people.

01:52:53.000 And so he was out praying, actually praying on these people who were at risk for years.

01:52:58.000 Kills two of them.

01:53:00.000 And then finally, the community has enough of a response to actually do something about Ed Buck.

01:53:04.000 The real situation isn't necessarily what he did.

01:53:07.000 It's the fact that people enabled him to do it.

01:53:10.000 Yeah.

01:53:11.000 All right, let's see.

01:53:13.000 Steven Booty says, I'm a landlord in New Jersey.

01:53:16.000 Got lucky this past year as my tenants didn't lose their jobs and kept paying.

01:53:19.000 Can only imagine if they stopped.

01:53:21.000 Yeah, I'd imagine.

01:53:22.000 Wow.

01:53:22.000 I mean, that can't be too many people in that boat.

01:53:27.000 All right, let's see.

01:53:28.000 Ian Hall says, on point of order, Samsung is made in Vietnam, not China.

01:53:32.000 Thank you.

01:53:34.000 There you go.

01:53:37.000 Josiah Padula says Eric hasn't put the name of the second factory on his site after saying he'd do so immediately.

01:53:43.000 Not to mention the site has lots of remnant text buttons from some sort of site builder template that hasn't been removed yet.

01:53:49.000 Well, that's good criticism.

01:53:51.000 I pushed him on it when he was like, I'm not gonna say the name.

01:53:53.000 I'm like, are you kidding?

01:53:54.000 Like, I guess he was saying he couldn't say the name because...

01:53:58.000 Maybe he can't really pronounce the name and didn't know what it was.

01:54:01.000 He should have known what it was, otherwise, and he shouldn't have brought it up, I guess, because now people want to know what the name of that factory is.

01:54:07.000 And I think it's not good that he did not put it on his website.

01:54:10.000 He said he was going to do that.

01:54:11.000 So, Eric, if you're listening, get that up on your website and let people know where your phones are being made, because people don't want, you know, garbage checking their phones.

01:54:20.000 2BitUser says, Tim, remember the Deep Space Nine episode about the Sanctuary Districts in 2024 and the Bell Riots?

01:54:27.000 All homeless were put in walled cities.

01:54:29.000 Was that where, uh, which one was that?

01:54:31.000 Do you remember that one?

01:54:33.000 They go back in time or something?

01:54:34.000 I forget if they went back in time or they were just discussing it.

01:54:36.000 But this was a huge... Or Q did it.

01:54:38.000 This was a huge deal, though, in not just Deep Space Nine lore, but sort of, like, the entire story.

01:54:44.000 And I'm totally not a Trekker, but, like, I've seen, you know, various shows of it.

01:54:49.000 And I know, but I know the Bell Riots and that 2024 is a huge part of like how the new world was created in the Star Trek-verse.

01:54:59.000 Yeah.

01:55:01.000 Yeah, the cops were given drugs, you know, the SWAT cops.

01:55:04.000 I wouldn't, yeah, I wouldn't say that about Simone Biles.

01:55:06.000 No, she legit is the best. 0.72

01:55:07.000 in the Olympics are a perfect example of what happens when unqualified diversity 0.92

01:55:11.000 hires are chosen over merit.

01:55:12.000 Maybe Simone Biles is like the best of the best. 1.00

01:55:15.000 I wouldn't, yeah, I wouldn't say that about Simone Biles.

01:55:17.000 Yeah.

01:55:17.000 She's like legit.

01:55:18.000 She's legit is the best. 1.00

01:55:19.000 But she's doing tricks beyond the skill level of the gymnastics team. 1.00

01:55:22.000 I think she has like five different.

01:55:24.000 Uh, feats that are all, there's like, there's like the Biles on being the Biles 0.94

01:55:28.000 on, right on the mat, the Biles to the Biles too.

01:55:32.000 Yeah.

01:55:34.000 I just think that we're, we're getting to this point where people are celebrating

01:55:39.000 her bowing out.

01:55:40.000 Instead of saying, we respect you and we hope you get better, it's a shame we didn't win.

01:55:44.000 Right, it's a shame, but, you know, we wish you the best, we pray for you as a human being, but, you know, like, again, you're just in a different category now.

01:55:55.000 Yeah.

01:55:57.000 Jack Dawes says, I'm a truck driver.

01:55:58.000 If these local businesses reach $30 an hour or more, I'm done driving.

01:56:03.000 One less truck delivering.

01:56:05.000 Could you imagine?

01:56:05.000 We had John Schnatter on the show, Papa John.

01:56:08.000 In the member segment, he mentioned that there's a pizzeria, he knows, where they're paying $35 an hour to the cooks to make the pizzas.

01:56:17.000 $35 an hour to make pizzas.

01:56:18.000 Where's that?

01:56:19.000 I think he said in New York.

01:56:20.000 Sign up.

01:56:20.000 Because if he doesn't, that's what he had to pay.

01:56:22.000 That was the market rate because people are getting free money.

01:56:24.000 What people don't understand is that Time is money, right?

01:56:27.000 Is he still on a couple stores himself?

01:56:28.000 I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think...

01:56:30.000 I joked about him opening his own franchise and he was like, well, you know, but uh...

01:56:34.000 He should. He totally should.

01:56:35.000 Time is money, right?

01:56:36.000 No, he should do, by the way, do you remember a couple times ago when I was on,

01:56:39.000 we were talking about those pizza huts, like the original, like, nostalgia restaurants?

01:56:43.000 Oh, the buildings that are abandoned?

01:56:44.000 Yeah, he should do, like, he should open, like, a nostalgia pizzeria,

01:56:49.000 where, don't call it pizza hut or whatever, but you can have, like,

01:56:52.000 it's, you walk in and it's the night.

01:56:54.000 There's, like, 90s TV, you know what I mean?

01:56:57.000 I'm gonna start my own pizza place called Papa Tim's.

01:56:59.000 Papa Tim's.

01:57:00.000 And we're gonna have garlic sauce and pepperoncinis and, yeah.

01:57:04.000 But the point is you, when you walk in, it's like, there's like a nineties TV playing and you can change the channels, but it's all like preloaded.

01:57:11.000 Yeah.

01:57:12.000 It's all UHF and maybe a remote and it's nineties and there's nineties music and there's like an old school jukebox.

01:57:19.000 That's a good idea.

01:57:19.000 I'm telling you.

01:57:20.000 So, so the idea, so I, I, I saw the story about Blockbuster where they created a section of the store.

01:57:26.000 There'll be a movie rental section.

01:57:28.000 No, no, the second of the store that was a 90s living room.

01:57:31.000 And they had like a pizza box and like a soda and chips.

01:57:34.000 And it was all the old style graphics of Pepsi.

01:57:36.000 Nintendo 64.

01:57:36.000 There was a TV.

01:57:37.000 No, I think it was like, I don't think they had 64, but it was SNES.

01:57:40.000 Yeah.

01:57:41.000 And so you could come in and they ubered out it for like, they ubered it out for like three nights.

01:57:45.000 So you could have a nostalgic 90s.

01:57:47.000 And I was like, well, what if you created a like... No, do that, but a chain.

01:57:51.000 Right, right, right.

01:57:52.000 So my idea was to do five rooms, a 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s.

01:57:56.000 Okay, so in each room is a different era.

01:57:58.000 And the TVs are preloaded with... I mean, this is what every 50s diner is, right?

01:58:02.000 So you just do that, but with different decades.

01:58:04.000 But it would be cool to, yeah, right.

01:58:06.000 So here's your 80s, here's your 70s, your 60s, and then you can rent whichever one.

01:58:11.000 You'd have to stock up on, like, 90s Mountain Dew and Pepsi or whatever.

01:58:13.000 You would, yeah.

01:58:14.000 Yeah, all the crazy... and people go in there and the TVs are UHF with the antennas, and then you'd have, like, one of the guys walk out and move the antenna, like, and then the TV is, like, you know, So you know the Smashing Pumpkins song 1979?

01:58:26.000 Yeah.

01:58:27.000 So I think somebody tweeted recently that that came out in 1995.

01:58:31.000 Right.

01:58:31.000 16 years.

01:58:32.000 So the equivalent today would be what would be a song called 2005.

01:58:38.000 Yeah, dude. Yeah.

01:58:42.000 I should do a.

01:58:43.000 I'll do a cover of 1979 called 2005, and I'll sing about what it was like in 2005.

01:58:49.000 Exactly.

01:58:50.000 My buddy and I, who does some writing on the side with me, we were talking about doing, I don't know, a graphic novel or movie script, but call it the summer of 99.

01:59:02.000 Danny says, Tim, not sure if you saw what happened to Crowder, but the straight-up death wishings he's gotten has blown my mind.

01:59:08.000 Never knew the hatred people have in their hearts, all because of someone who doesn't agree with the establishment.

01:59:13.000 Yes, I did see what happened with Crowder.

01:59:15.000 I wish him a speedy recovery and the best.

01:59:17.000 Prayers up for Crowder.

01:59:18.000 Yeah, absolutely, man. 0.81

01:59:19.000 And these tweets, just these people are sick.

01:59:23.000 Just understand.

01:59:24.000 Understand.

01:59:25.000 Understand.

01:59:25.000 This pathology, right?

01:59:27.000 They would put you all in gulags.

01:59:29.000 Yes.

01:59:30.000 If they could.

01:59:31.000 Just give them the word and they will... Listen to the J6 hearings.

01:59:36.000 Listen to the things they're saying.

01:59:38.000 Listen to the comments.

01:59:39.000 This isn't a... Right.

01:59:40.000 Trump is gone.

01:59:41.000 So now who's the target?

01:59:43.000 You are the target.

01:59:43.000 We'll talk about this for the bonus segment.

01:59:44.000 You are the target.

01:59:45.000 We'll get into that.

01:59:45.000 Yeah.

01:59:46.000 Because the insurrection from the left... The response to Crowder is just another example that if you... I say this in swears.

01:59:54.000 Are you paying attention yet?

01:59:56.000 Are you paying attention yet?

01:59:59.000 Look what they said to Rush Limbaugh when he died.

02:00:01.000 Look what they said about him.

02:00:01.000 Geoffrey Pfaff says Peter Thiel is funding and working with Rumble, Tim.

02:00:06.000 Yes, that is true.

02:00:08.000 That is true.

02:00:09.000 Right on.

02:00:10.000 I think JD Vance put some money in that as well.

02:00:12.000 We upload to Rumble and use their infrastructure as well.

02:00:15.000 And good for Peter Thiel.

02:00:16.000 I wasn't trying to drag him saying he wasn't doing anything.

02:00:18.000 I'm just saying journalism is different from just Rumble.

02:00:21.000 So it's good that he is funding stuff, my respect.

02:00:25.000 And my respect for everything he went through with Gawker.

02:00:27.000 I mean, you put out... The things Gawker did, man.

02:00:31.000 If Gawker existed today in its previous state... Yeah, I hope people don't think that we were like, you know, getting on Teal or any of that.

02:00:40.000 Gawker would be called Far Right if it published the things it published back then.

02:00:43.000 Oh yeah. 0.89

02:00:44.000 They were outing gay men. 0.99

02:00:46.000 And some and black and it's just it's gross. 0.99

02:00:49.000 I mean, like doxing for just the thrill of doxing. 0.64

02:00:54.000 Right? 0.95

02:00:54.000 I mean, it was ridiculous. 0.95

02:00:56.000 People have this there's like this, they've tried to nostalgize it. 0.88

02:00:59.000 Right?

02:01:00.000 And the new version is supposed to be like, we're the best.

02:01:01.000 We're the better parts of Gawker. 1.00

02:01:03.000 No, you're trash. 1.00

02:01:04.000 You've always been trash. 1.00

02:01:06.000 You belong on the ash heap of history, along with communism and all the ugly communists. 1.00

02:01:11.000 Alright, Rhythmic Riot says people who keep mentioning Yuri Bezmenov need to know warnings about communism go back much further. 0.55

02:01:17.000 Watch the 1958 speech from Robert Welch who lays out the steps on how to destroy the free world.

02:01:22.000 All communism is supported by ugly people because communism is based in envy.

02:01:27.000 Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.

02:01:29.000 There's a prominent YouTuber I was hanging out with years and years ago.

02:01:32.000 And one of the things I had mentioned was that when you go to... They'll never admit it, by the way.

02:01:36.000 When you go to the DNC, you notice that most of the people there are like frumpy, short, squeaky voices.

02:01:41.000 And you go to the RNC and you'll see a lot of taller, chiseled guys and busty women. 0.78

02:01:45.000 And it actually is true.

02:01:46.000 Multiple studies have found that attractive people tend to be more conservative.

02:01:51.000 And it makes perfect sense if you agree with leftist ideology, the idea of privilege.

02:01:55.000 That people who are attractive have it easier in life, they have privileges, so thus, they think they don't need collective support.

02:02:02.000 Beauty privilege is a thing, but at the same time, looks maxing is also a thing. 0.99

02:02:06.000 The funny thing is, we pointed that out on this show, and even cited, I think, three different studies, and the Young Turks made fun of my appearance for it, which was the weirdest thing ever, and kind of a self-owned, because they don't realize that I'm not a conservative, and so they're like, he's so dumb, and look how ugly he is, and I'm like, I know, but I'm kind of a liberal, so... Well, it wouldn't surprise me that Cenk is a communist. 0.88

02:02:26.000 I mean, I think Cenk is just a corporatist. 0.63

02:02:28.000 At this point, yeah.

02:02:29.000 Yeah, total corporatist.

02:02:31.000 That's his MO.

02:02:32.000 And that's why he finds himself in this really weird position where he has so many former employees who are speaking truth to power, and he's not.

02:02:39.000 And I think he's jealous about it, to be honest.

02:02:42.000 All right, let's see.

02:02:43.000 Because remember, the actual people leading the movement, so people, when I said that on Twitter the other day, they were like, what about young Stalin?

02:02:50.000 Young Stalin was a pretty good-looking man.

02:02:52.000 I said, well, look what communism did to him, number one.

02:02:54.000 But number two, the actual leaders don't actually believe in any of this stuff, right?

02:02:59.000 They just want to be in power, right?
