Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Most Americans Now Find Biden Incompetent Says Poll w-Chris Karr

00:00:00.000 In what may be a shocking poll to each and every one of you, a majority of Americans

00:00:18.000 now believe that Joe Biden is not competent.

00:00:22.000 Calm down.

00:00:22.000 I know.

00:00:23.000 I hope you are sitting down for this one because there's more.

00:00:27.000 Another poll found that Kamala Harris was also not competent.

00:00:31.000 This has been a tough day for all of us.

00:00:34.000 I mean, we've been, you know, Ian was crying when he found out.

00:00:38.000 I wasn't polled, which was the worst part.

00:00:41.000 He's competent!

00:00:43.000 All I wanted for Christmas.

00:00:46.000 I don't think anybody should be surprised by this polling considering everything that's happening.

00:00:50.000 Look, he's not answering questions about Afghanistan.

00:00:54.000 He's muttering and sputtering.

00:00:56.000 he's not giving an like he's not doing he's done a few of these you know press uh uh events but

00:01:03.000 there was one instance where i guess he got asked a question and then he went wait i thought the

00:01:08.000 question was supposed to anyway like the journalist agreed to a question like it was all pre-planned

00:01:13.000 but then they threw him a curveball and he was like and now everyone's joking like well that

00:01:17.000 journalist is never getting invited again yeah because joe biden can't handle spontaneous

00:01:20.000 questions do you guys remember when he was like oh they're gonna get mad at me for answering

00:01:24.000 questions.

00:01:25.000 Yeah, we have this to talk about.

00:01:26.000 We have a lot to talk about.

00:01:27.000 Um, the FDA has approved the Pfizer vaccine.

00:01:29.000 There's a lot to talk about there, because as much as for a lot of people they're probably excited to hear, there's, you know, they were waiting for FDA approval.

00:01:37.000 It just, it means we're gonna see a lot more vaccine mandates, which I think absolutely cross the line, and this is where things start getting creepy and weird.

00:01:43.000 And then we got the recall election!

00:01:45.000 Recall Gavin Newsom and Larry Elder, who has been smeared as the black face of white supremacy because, of course, as you know, we live in a Dave Chappelle sketch, so this should be fun. 0.75

00:01:56.000 So joining us today is Chris Carr, executive editor for TimCast.com.

00:02:02.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:02:03.000 It's a thrill to be here.

00:02:04.000 It's super exciting.

00:02:07.000 I love being here.

00:02:08.000 I mean, I don't know what else to say.

00:02:10.000 I'm a bit of an oddball.

00:02:11.000 I'm an introvert.

00:02:12.000 I'm a writer.

00:02:12.000 So I'm going to work on speaking.

00:02:14.000 Right on.

00:02:15.000 But yeah, so prior to that, I was a news reporter in Southern California for the Epoch Times.

00:02:20.000 So I'm used to California shenanigans.

00:02:22.000 I was talking to Sarah Patch earlier.

00:02:24.000 I said I'm a bit desensitized to the insanity coming out of California, but I look forward to talking about that, among other things.

00:02:29.000 Thanks for having me.

00:02:30.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:02:30.000 And for those that are wondering, Executive Editor means he makes sure the website's working and all the news articles are going up.

00:02:35.000 So we decided, you know, let's promote some of what we're doing here, man.

00:02:41.000 Chris is great, helping make sure all the news articles are going up on time.

00:02:44.000 If you go to TimCast.com, you can check all that stuff out.

00:02:46.000 And we are expanding and building and hiring more journalists.

00:02:50.000 And it's all new.

00:02:51.000 So we're getting there.

00:02:51.000 It's all new.

00:02:53.000 We got, we got, we got stuff coming.

00:02:55.000 We got Ian.

00:02:55.000 What up?

00:02:56.000 Hey, is it confirmed that it's called epoch times and not epic times?

00:03:00.000 Both pronunciations are correct.

00:03:02.000 I say epoch because I'm from Appalachia.

00:03:03.000 So that's, you know, just naturally where my accent goes.

00:03:06.000 And now you're back!

00:03:07.000 Welcome home!

00:03:08.000 Happy to be back.

00:03:09.000 Right on.

00:03:09.000 Yeah, totally.

00:03:10.000 All right.

00:03:10.000 Well, there you go.

00:03:11.000 Good to be here.

00:03:11.000 Thanks, Tim.

00:03:12.000 Yeah, I guess we're doing the vlog more and more.

00:03:14.000 Yeah.

00:03:15.000 Production's been ramping up and we just, we got the music equipment for the new studio and the latest vlog, Ian jamming out, people are, people are, I love it.

00:03:22.000 I can hear it when I do, when we do a jam night, the next day my voice is like, fried.

00:03:27.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:03:28.000 But we're trying really hard to get these live events ready to go, so we might just have to just try and duct tape some kind of live event together, because we've been- We can do it now?

00:03:36.000 Yeah, we'll talk about it afterwards, because we've been trying to do it for months, and we've been jammed up with red tape and lack of duct tape, so maybe we just make it happen.

00:03:45.000 Right, we moved a bunch of instruments into the green room.

00:03:47.000 So we had a bunch in the garage, kind of out with the 3D printer equipment, but it was really a lot of stuff in a little room, so it was hard to jam out there and get really humid.

00:03:54.000 So last night we moved everything down to the studio, you know, the green room, and it was really... It's a nice chill spot, so we could have like 20 or 30 people chilling down there and listening.

00:04:03.000 That's always been the plan, is like mix it up, but there's bureaucratic stuff holding us up, so I think we just gotta figure it out.

00:04:08.000 But we will.

00:04:10.000 We got Lydia pressing all the buttons. 1.00

00:04:11.000 I am indeed pressing all the buttons.

00:04:12.000 I'm really excited to be sitting in a room full of all my co-workers.

00:04:15.000 It's going to be a great time.

00:04:16.000 I'm looking forward to what Chris has to say.

00:04:18.000 We're having fun talking before the show.

00:04:19.000 Yes, that's right.

00:04:20.000 All right.

00:04:20.000 But my friends, before we get into all of that news, we have an amazing sponsor.

00:04:25.000 We have Biotrust's Keto Elevate C8 MCT oil powder.

00:04:29.000 Now, accidentally, I find myself doing the keto diet.

00:04:33.000 It's just because we did this crab day thing where we bought a bunch of crab, which is all like protein, and we bought a bunch of meat and cheese to make like a charcuterie thing.

00:04:40.000 And so that was all I ended up eating.

00:04:42.000 And whipped cream and fruits and stuff.

00:04:43.000 And then I just find myself feeling better.

00:04:46.000 Cutting down the sugars dramatically.

00:04:48.000 And so I've been really ramping up this stuff.

00:06:48.000 Let's get into that story from TimCast.com.

00:06:52.000 Majority of Americans no longer believe that Biden is competent.

00:06:56.000 You know, if it wasn't on TimCast.com, I'd almost assume this article was fake news.

00:07:00.000 You know why?

00:07:02.000 It implies that at some point people did believe Joe Biden was competent.

00:07:05.000 Right.

00:07:07.000 So now they don't?

00:07:09.000 This is the one thing?

00:07:10.000 Well, you know what it is, is that people live in the media.

00:07:13.000 So when the media is saying Biden's great, everyone's like, okay.

00:07:16.000 And now that he's botching Afghanistan and the media is criticizing him, now the people who don't pay attention are all of a sudden shocked to realize, but he's doing bad?

00:07:24.000 And isn't it funny how these polls track with the mainstream media narrative?

00:07:27.000 They say, according to a new poll from CDS, 51% believe that Biden is not a competent commander in chief.

00:07:35.000 Well, 49% believe that he is.

00:07:38.000 I'd like to meet at least one of these 49%. 1.00

00:07:41.000 Who are these people that believe, after everything we've seen?

00:07:44.000 The pollsters also found that 52% of likely voters do not feel the president has been focused.

00:07:49.000 I just, I just, who is this 48% that has heard the man speak and heard the word true in a non-Shabbat oppression and decided that that was focused?

00:07:59.000 I know those people.

00:08:01.000 They're my family.

00:08:01.000 They're my friends.

00:08:02.000 There's tons of people.

00:08:03.000 Oh, I know.

00:08:04.000 I mean, that's true.

00:08:05.000 And I don't think you could throttle them into reality.

00:08:07.000 I really don't.

00:08:08.000 Yeah.

00:08:09.000 You know?

00:08:09.000 And that's really sad, and it's unfortunate for me because it's cost me friendships.

00:08:13.000 It's cost me a lot.

00:08:14.000 But those 49% of people do exist, and I don't think that they're necessarily willing to wake up to what's actually happening.

00:08:20.000 Yeah, it's safe.

00:08:24.000 We've got these baby chicks. 1.00

00:08:26.000 We had, I think, 14 eggs.

00:08:29.000 And we're not good at what we're doing, so most of them didn't make it.

00:08:32.000 But three of them did.

00:08:33.000 And they're actually pretty spunky and strong.

00:08:36.000 And they are scared to leave their little brooder box.

00:08:38.000 It's safe.

00:08:39.000 It's warm.

00:08:40.000 Now, one of them, though, is always like peeking out, you know, and it wants there's one that that one that's brave.

00:08:46.000 And that's that's what this reminds me of.

00:08:48.000 The two out of the three, they're like scared and they're just like, I don't want to leave.

00:08:51.000 It's warm and safe.

00:08:52.000 Don't make me go.

00:08:53.000 I don't want to go in the real world.

00:08:55.000 And I look at them and I'm like, they would have voted for Joe Biden.

00:09:00.000 It's just easy, you know?

00:09:02.000 You don't gotta think.

00:09:03.000 It's like, you know, we hear from these YouTubers, like, you don't even gotta think, you just go to the website and it's all done for you.

00:09:08.000 Here's where it gets, here's where, well, this is interesting.

00:09:11.000 The CBS poll was conducted as Afghanistan fell to the Taliban, and 53% disagreed with the way that the troops were withdrawn.

00:09:18.000 70% said the removal of troops could have been handled better, along with 55% who said some troops could have stayed, according to Breitbart News.

00:09:26.000 Now, the sad part is, we'll go to the bottom, there's a couple things here.

00:09:29.000 Rasmussen found that 55% of voters believe Harris is not qualified to assume the duties of the presidency, including 47% who said she is not qualified at all.

00:09:39.000 Wow.

00:09:40.000 Geez.

00:09:41.000 That's harsh.

00:09:42.000 But 43% of likely voters believe she is ready to be the president way down from 49 back in April.

00:09:49.000 Couple interesting things.

00:09:51.000 Civics shows Joe Biden's job approval by state.

00:09:55.000 In almost every single state, Joe Biden is underwater with disapproval.

00:09:59.000 It is California, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Hawaii, Oregon, Illinois, Rhode Island, Maryland, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Washington that have a positive view of Joe Biden.

00:10:09.000 Yeah.

00:10:11.000 Basically blue states.

00:10:12.000 Of course.

00:10:13.000 Count on it.

00:10:13.000 The craziest thing about all this, I suppose, is it's, it's independent voters are driving all of this.

00:10:18.000 Republicans hate Biden and Democrats love Biden and that's not changing, but independent voters are, are, are, are shifting away.

00:10:28.000 57% disapprove of Joe Biden.

00:10:30.000 So I don't know what this means.

00:10:31.000 I mean, maybe we'll get a 25th amendment.

00:10:34.000 I'm really shaken with his behavior in the last couple weeks.

00:10:37.000 It's nice to see the polls like this catching up.

00:10:39.000 I don't know, did you catch how many people were polled, or if it was like a nationwide poll?

00:10:44.000 Uh, well, Civics has 91,514 responses, but that's over a couple years.

00:10:49.000 I don't know, I can pull up the CBS one though.

00:10:51.000 When this Afghanistan thing went down, I don't know if it was intentional and they were like, you're gonna make us poll out? 0.53

00:10:56.000 Fine, we'll show you what a poll out looks like. 0.99

00:10:58.000 Here, suck it. 1.00

00:10:59.000 Or if it was just Biden was so is such a poor military commander. 1.00

00:11:04.000 He's the commander in chief of the US Armed Forces.

00:11:06.000 He's such a poor military commander that he just didn't understand tactics like you leave air support in while you move people out on the ground.

00:11:14.000 It could have been a three month process moving people out.

00:11:17.000 He had all year.

00:11:18.000 And they rushed it.

00:11:20.000 He knew.

00:11:21.000 So it's 2,142 adults with a margin of error of plus 2.3%.

00:11:26.000 That's a big sample. 0.99

00:11:28.000 I got like a pang of fear thinking what if this stupid Chinese boogeyman, the CCP, but like if there was some sort of like coordinated invasion right now with Biden at the helm. 0.98

00:11:38.000 If he really doesn't, isn't a good commander, and then we have to fight a war, we lose because the commander misappropriates the first days are the most, you know, vulnerable moments in a war. 0.99

00:11:52.000 You know what I think?

00:11:53.000 People that were saying that Afghanistan is revealed, the emperor has no clothes.

00:11:59.000 And you know what's crazy to me is this realization because I've actually, even though I know Joe Biden's kind of like, you know, not all with it, I still felt like, you know, people say like, oh, who's Biden's handler?

00:12:09.000 Who's really pulling the strings?

00:12:10.000 Oh, it's gonna be Kamala.

00:12:12.000 You see Afghanistan and it's like, dude, they're legit following Biden.

00:12:16.000 And so when Biden mutters, stutters, and stammers and falls asleep, they just sit there.

00:12:22.000 She laughs at really weird times.

00:12:22.000 Why is she laughing?

00:12:23.000 people like picking up the slack for Biden.

00:12:25.000 After all this, it's like people were MIA, like where was Kamala?

00:12:29.000 She wasn't speaking.

00:12:30.000 Now you've got this video where she's walking out and the reporter's like, I want to ask

00:12:33.000 you about the people and she's like, I don't know.

00:12:37.000 And people are like, why is she laughing?

00:12:40.000 She laughs at really weird times.

00:12:41.000 She's a weird person. 0.94

00:12:42.000 Yeah, I don't know, man.

00:12:43.000 I think that Biden did have people picking up the slack for him, and I'm afraid that the people who were doing that for Joe were people like Mark Milley.

00:12:50.000 People who were focused on things like white rage, instead of what it would have been like to pull out properly.

00:12:55.000 I think Mark Milley is an example of the fact that Biden's just sleeping in his... They probably walk in the Oval Office, he's like... And then Mark Milley's like, yes.

00:13:06.000 No one's going to fire me now because Biden's asleep.

00:13:08.000 He can't do it unless he wakes up.

00:13:09.000 Yeah, maybe.

00:13:10.000 Yeah, how do we have these people?

00:13:12.000 Woke generals, chaos.

00:13:14.000 It's the end of the American empire.

00:13:16.000 I forget which commentator I listened to mention this, but you just see Joe Biden.

00:13:19.000 You see him walking away from these press conferences.

00:13:20.000 You see him walking up to the podium.

00:13:22.000 This is not the face of a healthy democracy.

00:13:25.000 And it's painful to watch.

00:13:26.000 It really is.

00:13:27.000 And I feel those pangs that you're talking about when I see him speak.

00:13:30.000 And at a certain point, It's not even funny, you know?

00:13:35.000 I mean, like, some people still just kind of want to pile on to him and make fun of him, and it's not funny.

00:13:39.000 It feels like he is genuinely struggling to put together a sentence, to put together a perspective, and to lead the nation.

00:13:47.000 How is it only now?

00:13:48.000 I guess I made the point, right, people were following the media, but only now these independent voters are like, hmm, maybe this, you know, 79, 78-year-old, he's gonna be 79 soon, 78-year-old guy who can't talk well, there's something wrong with him.

00:14:03.000 That's what I was going to ask you.

00:14:04.000 It was the straw that broke the camel's back, essentially.

00:14:04.000 What do you think it was?

00:14:07.000 Was it Afghanistan, or was it just like, this was the final thing, the latest thing, that's really just made people kind of see what's happening?

00:14:13.000 This is what's scary about it, is that it's whatever CNN tells them.

00:14:18.000 And CNN's like, Biden's great.

00:14:20.000 And they're like, OK.

00:14:22.000 And now Afghanistan, like, CNN wants war.

00:14:25.000 War is good for the bottom line for all these media companies.

00:14:28.000 Now they're like, Oh, he really messed this one up.

00:14:31.000 And now regular people are like CNN said he messed it up.

00:14:33.000 So he did.

00:14:35.000 There you go.

00:14:36.000 The funny thing is he hasn't lost in the civics poll shows Biden hasn't lost a single percentage point from Democrats since the fall of Kabul till today.

00:14:45.000 Like I just, it's, it's, it's, it's a cult.

00:14:49.000 I wish I could say it surprised me, honestly, but it doesn't.

00:14:52.000 And it is a cult, yeah.

00:14:53.000 Yeah, I see that.

00:14:54.000 Here's the thing about Trump.

00:14:56.000 Trump was giving a speech, and he told everyone to go get the vaccine, and they booed him.

00:14:59.000 Yeah.

00:15:00.000 And I'm laughing, like, oh jeez.

00:15:02.000 But doesn't that prove it's not a cult?

00:15:04.000 Yes.

00:15:05.000 Even Trump's most dired supporters are like, no, Trump.

00:15:08.000 Wrong.

00:15:09.000 Yeah, a lot of them are.

00:15:10.000 me that's kind of that says a lot.

00:15:11.000 And I think that shows that Trump is the avatar for that working class anger. 0.89

00:15:16.000 These people are not blindly following Trump.

00:15:19.000 A lot of them are.

00:15:20.000 Yeah, a lot of them are.

00:15:21.000 A lot of them.

00:15:22.000 But to boo him when he said that, there's, there's, they, there's, yeah, they, they, they.

00:15:28.000 They said, no, Trump is not the end-all be-all, but Biden?

00:15:31.000 People just say, go Biden.

00:15:33.000 Sam Harris tweeted something.

00:15:34.000 You guys know Sam Harris.

00:15:36.000 Yeah.

00:15:36.000 And he was like, unlike, you know, the Trump supporters that blindly just defend Trump, you know, I'm going to criticize Joe Biden.

00:15:43.000 It's like, oh, you're so brave.

00:15:44.000 You and CNN criticizing Joe Biden.

00:15:46.000 Wow.

00:15:47.000 For once.

00:15:48.000 That's really unfortunate about Sam Harris.

00:15:49.000 I really think that he's one of the public intellectuals who got broken in some sense during the lockdown.

00:15:54.000 I think something like it triggered in his brain and he hasn't recovered in some sense.

00:15:58.000 Because used to I would be able to listen to him and I would hear coherent thoughts even when I disagreed, but lately he's just been on some sort of bandwagon that doesn't even follow up with a lot of the stuff he used to claim.

00:16:08.000 What happened to people?

00:16:09.000 I know, I know, yeah.

00:16:11.000 I got a story about that, actually, and this is, it really hit home with me because, like, my best friend of 15 years, we've been best friends for a really long time, and I sent him a text message, and I was like, did you see the key to NYC situation?

00:16:23.000 The vaccine passed.

00:16:24.000 Yeah, and, well, he's a Chicago guy, you know, blue pill all the way, Lori Lightfoot supporter, you know, still, still, still, and So I told him about the Key to NYC program.

00:16:37.000 I was like, you saw this, right? 0.96

00:16:38.000 He's like, yeah, yeah, it's fucking great. 0.91

00:16:40.000 Oh, sorry, sorry. 0.97

00:16:41.000 That's what he said.

00:16:42.000 He said, this is effing great.

00:16:43.000 And I was just like, this is fascism.

00:16:45.000 He said, I don't care if it is.

00:16:47.000 I love it.

00:16:48.000 This is exactly what needs to happen.

00:16:49.000 These mandates need to be in place and people need to follow in line or not.

00:16:52.000 And I said, I didn't realize that you were a fascist.

00:16:54.000 I hadn't realized you became radicalized.

00:16:57.000 And he said, Chris, we're going to have to disagree on this.

00:17:00.000 And I said, no, no, we're not disagreeing.

00:17:03.000 You're disagreeing with the definition of fascism.

00:17:06.000 And he goes, do you want to still be friends?

00:17:09.000 Or are you going to let this go?

00:17:11.000 It's a simple question.

00:17:13.000 I got his answer. 0.93

00:17:14.000 Did you tell him to screw off? 0.95

00:17:16.000 Oh, no.

00:17:17.000 I haven't heard from him since, and I didn't message him back.

00:17:19.000 Actually, I did message him.

00:17:20.000 I said, that sounds exactly like something a fascist would say.

00:17:25.000 But these kind of derangement fits happen on personal levels, and they also happen in these kind of national displays, like on Twitter.

00:17:33.000 And I see more and more of that, and it's really disturbing to me.

00:17:36.000 I love this reference I used, the Galaxy Quest one.

00:17:38.000 You guys have seen Galaxy Quest?

00:17:40.000 Yeah, oh yeah.

00:17:41.000 Yeah, totally.

00:17:41.000 Tim Allen.

00:17:42.000 Tony Shalhoub's character is just, like, laughing.

00:17:44.000 They're TV actors on a spaceship, they're gonna die, and he's just like, I guess we're gonna die, whatever, he's laughing.

00:17:50.000 That's kind of how I feel about everything, you know, not to, like, downplay it.

00:17:54.000 But people often say, like, how did, you know, Nazi Germany get to the point to violate Godwin's law outright?

00:18:01.000 How did Nazi Germany get to that point?

00:18:02.000 It's like, you're sitting here right now.

00:18:04.000 Like, New York is mandating identification and proof of vaccination to enter a restaurant.

00:18:14.000 It's like, I get it.

00:18:15.000 If you want to, if you're concerned about your health and there's a medication, it's FDA approved.

00:18:19.000 You can go to doctor and you can figure it out for yourself.

00:18:19.000 Hey, congratulations.

00:18:22.000 But for the city to be like, fire all of your disabled employees, like, uh, we've, we've certainly crossed the line here.

00:18:30.000 And what's funny is like, you saw, you mentioned about your friend.

00:18:33.000 They're cheering for it.

00:18:34.000 Yeah.

00:18:35.000 They're, they're, they're, they love it.

00:18:37.000 Isn't that crazy?

00:18:38.000 They feel like their tribe is winning.

00:18:41.000 Right?

00:18:41.000 I mean, isn't there some sort of very basic tribal element to this?

00:18:45.000 Yeah.

00:18:46.000 Yeah, man.

00:18:48.000 But there's no... I guess these people don't understand that they're not in the actual tribe of elitism.

00:18:57.000 Those that run the systems and are locking everything down will throw them into the gutter at a moment's notice.

00:19:02.000 So they're just standing there gloating, saying, haha, I'm in the winning team, and I'm like, I don't care who's... leave me alone.

00:19:07.000 You can go like I feel like I'm watching a hockey game and they're like just playing really aggressive and I'm not playing the game and I'm like just get away from me and they're trying to throw me into the rink to play and I'm like no.

00:19:18.000 They just and now they're throwing stuff at the stands and I'm like why you're throwing stuff at me like I got nothing to do with your game.

00:19:23.000 Would you fight to protect people that hated you?

00:19:28.000 That's a good question.

00:19:30.000 I guess there's a lot of nuance in that question, though.

00:19:32.000 I don't know how to answer it.

00:19:34.000 Like, if you're destined to be a villain, even if you protect the people?

00:19:38.000 If there was, like, some d- If there was, like, an Antifa guy, and he was, like, yelling and cussing at me, and then, like, you know, he was, like, walking away and a car was speeding at him full speed, I'd probably try and save him. 1.00

00:19:50.000 You know.

00:19:50.000 Yeah.

00:19:50.000 That's the G.I.

00:19:51.000 Joe in you.

00:19:52.000 Well, it's just like the dude, you're allowed to hate me, man.

00:19:55.000 You know, like, if the guy's not being violent towards... If he was violent towards me, I'd probably run away.

00:19:58.000 I'd probably be like, nah, I'm not gonna get anywhere near this guy.

00:20:01.000 It's not a good idea. 0.98

00:20:02.000 But if there was, like, someone who was like, I hate you, you're dumb, and then I saw a car coming, I'd be like, look out, and I'd try and save him. 0.98

00:20:08.000 So there's a difference between being violent towards you and hating you, I suppose. 0.99

00:20:10.000 That's where there's some nuance there.

00:20:11.000 Yeah, if they're, like, throwing rocks at me, I'd just be like, nah, I'm not going anywhere near that guy.

00:20:15.000 What about you, Ian?

00:20:17.000 Based on your question, what would you do?

00:20:18.000 Yeah, I would.

00:20:18.000 It's pretty thankless.

00:20:21.000 Also, I wonder if you're preserving low-intelligence humans that just eat and reproduce and eat and reproduce and then starve out the system, if you're actually doing a disservice to the species.

00:20:32.000 I don't know, it's weird.

00:20:33.000 You're asking dangerous questions.

00:20:34.000 It's very ethical and like, what's the genetic, what's that?

00:20:38.000 Eugenics? 0.95

00:20:39.000 Yeah, eugenics. 0.88

00:20:40.000 It's a very eugenic way to look at like, should they live or should they die?

00:20:43.000 But I mean, that's basically what governments do.

00:20:45.000 And you know, I'll tell you this for a fact, that these powerful interests have asked themselves these questions.

00:20:54.000 No doubt about it.

00:20:55.000 Because when we had Alex Jones here, I asked him that question on the show.

00:21:00.000 What if all of this stuff about the end and overpopulation is true, and we as humans are just yeast in a bottle, consuming all the resources and farting ourselves to death?

00:21:12.000 And Alex said, he's like, I ask myself that question all the time, but How do you answer it?

00:21:18.000 It's a legitimate question.

00:21:19.000 The problem is, you know, I can't remember exactly what he said, but he was like, you know, you got to defend freedom and liberty.

00:21:27.000 No individual person is going to be smart enough to steer the ship properly, and we can rely on human nature, which has always found solutions through ingenuity and invention.

00:21:35.000 Or we can just hand it off to some despot authoritarian who we know through history has always oppressed, murdered, and punished.

00:21:43.000 It's tough, man.

00:21:44.000 You know, because we're at, what, like 8 billion people?

00:21:47.000 There's, like, insect populations declining, there's dead zones in the ocean.

00:21:51.000 And the point you brought up is actually brought up by a lot of people. 0.82

00:21:55.000 There's a lot of conspiracy theory people write about how the elites view humans as useless eaters.

00:22:02.000 They don't contribute anything. 0.82

00:22:03.000 They don't do anything.

00:22:05.000 They just consume, make waste, and reproduce.

00:22:08.000 And so there's some very difficult questions in that.

00:22:11.000 How many people do you know, and everyone probably does, who do nothing?

00:22:16.000 Literally nothing.

00:22:17.000 Or they work a job that's just, like, not beneficial.

00:22:20.000 Borderline vestigial.

00:22:21.000 Yeah, like insurance.

00:22:23.000 Well, people make up a good point about insurance brokers for, like, big corporations when you have specialty contracts.

00:22:28.000 That I understand.

00:22:29.000 But there are probably a lot of jobs that don't do anything for the system.

00:22:35.000 At all.

00:22:36.000 Probably tons of them that are just like, well, you gotta have a job, I guess.

00:22:39.000 Right.

00:22:40.000 Banking.

00:22:41.000 Banking's weird.

00:22:42.000 That's a weird...

00:22:44.000 Maybe we're advancing to the point where we can say that.

00:22:48.000 I think banking makes sense.

00:22:49.000 I think central banking has corrupted the whole process.

00:22:51.000 That's a different thing.

00:22:52.000 Yeah.

00:22:53.000 The profit motive of banking is pretty weird.

00:22:55.000 Yeah.

00:22:56.000 I understand not wanting to get screwed on your loan, so you charge, you know, a little bit of interest, but to try and get rich off of Extracting value from the system without contributing anything to that system.

00:23:06.000 So I always complain about people who, or I should say I complain about how the government's printing a lot of money, giving it to people so they're able to buy stuff, take food and resources from the system without putting anything in.

00:23:16.000 And that creates a trade imbalance, a production imbalance, which eventually causes collapse.

00:23:22.000 But we see that with a lot of people in financial jobs.

00:23:26.000 They make bets, they extract from the system, they don't do anything.

00:23:31.000 I want to stay on what you asked, Ian, because let's just take a few minutes and get philosophical real quick before we jump over to the California stuff.

00:23:38.000 What do you do if that's true, Ian?

00:23:40.000 What do you do if you have 7 billion people who don't contribute anything, they eat and they pollute and they destroy? 0.91

00:23:46.000 Jeez, dude.

00:23:48.000 You have to build a system that allows for that behavior without, so that solves the problem with taking into account the unchangeable human problem, which is that we're wild animal consumers, destructors.

00:24:03.000 So you build a system where it's okay to be destructive and consumers, like you need massive expansion capability.

00:24:10.000 You need unlimited access or relatively unlimited access to resources like food.

00:24:16.000 Is it possible?

00:24:17.000 Yeah, it just takes a lot of, like, re-designing of the system.

00:24:20.000 Like, we need fusion power, we need magnetic transportation, we need to be able to zing from place to place.

00:24:25.000 That's what I'm talking about, that if you look at history, the crises we've always faced have been solved by technology.

00:24:31.000 And the authoritarians who are always screaming at the problems have always just mass-murdered people.

00:24:36.000 So if I'm gonna sit here and be like, what should we do?

00:24:38.000 I'd be like, invent stuff.

00:24:40.000 You know, engineering, scientific research and development, not handing over the reins of government to crackpot despots, people like in the Democratic Party and the neocons, formerly of the Republican Party, because they'll just burn it down.

00:24:54.000 It's faster and easier, I guess.

00:24:56.000 And if you come out independently and say, I want to burn it down, then the system seeks you out as like a danger and will incarcerate or destroy you, I've found, too.

00:25:06.000 So there's either you join them and then give up.

00:25:09.000 And that's you lose or you try and you just give up on your own and then you lose because you look like you're messing with their version of how to destroy the situation or how to, you know, you can't be you can't be the famous one doing it.

00:25:21.000 That's too dangerous for the power structure.

00:25:23.000 So they'll I think the only the only way is to is to help the people is to give them a chance.

00:25:29.000 Yeah, I think we got to rely on development.

00:25:32.000 You're talking about helping people, like people that are in need.

00:25:34.000 Like people that can't help themselves, like that aren't critical thinkers, that are draining on the system, having seven kids.

00:25:42.000 It's kind of like just a fictitious idea of people in my head.

00:25:44.000 I don't know.

00:25:45.000 No, no, it's not fictitious at all.

00:25:46.000 But I don't think the seven kids is the issue.

00:25:48.000 I think it's that I know tons of people who sit around doing literally nothing.

00:25:52.000 Like, they go out, they eat, they party, and they go home, and they don't do anything, and their jobs are, like, menial.

00:25:58.000 And I have no issue with their life choices and the life they live and what they choose to live, because I'm not going to sit here and decide what is or isn't more important in anyone's life, right?

00:26:06.000 Like, oh, you relaxing and doing garbage work is, well, that's how they choose to live their life.

00:26:12.000 But certainly there's a mathematical equation that at a certain point you're like, we have 50 billion people on the planet that's about to implode or something like that, you know what I mean?

00:26:20.000 Maybe it's not true.

00:26:20.000 Or maybe it's not.

00:26:21.000 Maybe we'll never get to that point.

00:26:24.000 Maybe it's just fear-mongering so that people give up control to lazy people who don't want to work.

00:26:30.000 You know what I see when I see these ultra-wealthy people?

00:26:34.000 Laziness. 0.92

00:26:35.000 I know, it sounds contradictory, right?

00:26:38.000 And it's often like a leftist trope.

00:26:40.000 But the reason why a lot of the powerful elites, I'm not saying every single one, want power is they don't want to do anything.

00:26:47.000 It's like, because there's no point at which you have money that you can just stop and relax.

00:26:51.000 Never.

00:26:51.000 It never happens.

00:26:53.000 And so there are people who are like, how can I just get to that point where me and my friends don't have to do anything anymore?

00:26:58.000 Authoritarianism.

00:27:00.000 Slaves.

00:27:01.000 Yeah.

00:27:01.000 If you have supreme power over people, then you truly can relax and not have to work.

00:27:07.000 I don't think that you can ever actually really relax and not have to work though.

00:27:10.000 I mean, you might have that perception, you might think that's possible, but ultimately you're gonna find that you have a purposeless life.

00:27:16.000 And once you sense that, either consciously or unconsciously, you're gonna start to act out and probably lash out at people around you.

00:27:24.000 But what about, there's so many, I guess, actually yeah, I guess you're right.

00:27:28.000 Maybe the issue is this, there's a lot of people with purposeless lives, and we've talked about this before, and that's why you're seeing the rise of wokeness.

00:27:34.000 People in power with purposeless lives, that's interesting.

00:27:37.000 Well, I mean, this goes back to an anecdote from Jordan Peterson when he was working with somebody in his clinical practice and he was just like, well, what do you want to do with your life?

00:27:37.000 Yeah.

00:27:44.000 He's like, well, I just want to relax on the beach and, you know, drink margaritas all day.

00:27:47.000 And he was just like, that's not a plan.

00:27:48.000 That's not even a poster.

00:27:49.000 You know?

00:27:50.000 I mean, like, I mean, it sounds so great in theory, but in practice it does not work out, not just for the person themselves, but for the people that surround them, you know, their family, their friends or acquaintances, you know, it spins out of control at some point.

00:28:00.000 This is the craziest thing about the anti-work subreddit.

00:28:03.000 Have you guys ever seen this?

00:28:04.000 No.

00:28:05.000 R slash anti-work.

00:28:08.000 What?

00:28:09.000 It's crazy how they view work.

00:28:09.000 What?

00:28:11.000 It's like, do you just want to melt into a chair and cease to exist?

00:28:15.000 Work is life.

00:28:17.000 And I don't mean like working at McDonald's.

00:28:20.000 I mean like your goals, your passion, your mission.

00:28:22.000 It's all you doing work.

00:28:25.000 People don't understand this.

00:28:26.000 There's no distinction between, in the long run, work and hobby or leisure.

00:28:30.000 Like, if you wake up every day and you work really hard on skateboarding, that work can pay off.

00:28:36.000 It's just mind-blowing to me.

00:28:39.000 People are like, I don't want to work, so what are you going to do all day?

00:28:42.000 Eat food!

00:28:43.000 You could be a competitive eater!

00:28:44.000 Congratulations!

00:28:45.000 I don't understand.

00:28:46.000 What you're doing is work.

00:28:49.000 Yeah.

00:28:50.000 Yeah, work is a scientific, I'm looking up the actual scientific definition of it right now, but I believe it's just the transition of energy into power.

00:28:58.000 The production of power through, what is it, in joules?

00:29:01.000 You can measure work in joules, I believe?

00:29:03.000 So like, what I'm saying is, this is work.

00:29:05.000 I'm producing work to move this back and forth.

00:29:08.000 The question is, do you enjoy the work you're doing?

00:29:10.000 You can sit still and you're still working.

00:29:13.000 So if you like what you're doing, it doesn't feel exhausting.

00:29:17.000 Work doesn't have to be negative and exhausting.

00:29:19.000 It can be super fun.

00:29:21.000 That's the key.

00:29:22.000 You're always going to be working on something, even if it's just sitting there trying to stay sane.

00:29:26.000 I think we've got a bunch of elites who basically believe what you just said to start off this little bit.

00:29:32.000 That there's a lot of people who just eat and don't do anything and they're a problem.

00:29:35.000 And so they're like, let's just strip the system down.

00:29:38.000 They're not creative enough to be like, how do we fix this?

00:29:41.000 How do we solve for this problem?

00:29:42.000 They're just like, eradicate the problem.

00:29:44.000 Yeah.

00:29:45.000 That's dangerous, man.

00:29:47.000 Yeah.

00:29:48.000 I will say the remote work now from the lockdowns is a good thing.

00:29:50.000 You know why?

00:29:51.000 Yeah.

00:29:52.000 Parents are going to be with their kids.

00:29:54.000 Before it was like, you know, your kids are being raised by the state.

00:29:57.000 That's a problem.

00:29:58.000 Now with remote work, we saw there's a bunch of funny videos that have emerged.

00:30:01.000 Like there was that guy who was appearing on a news program and his kid walks in and he's like, Oh, it's my kid.

00:30:06.000 And then what happened to a woman too? 0.98

00:30:07.000 And I'm like, that's good.

00:30:09.000 They're seeing the cameras.

00:30:10.000 The kids are going to learn.

00:30:10.000 They're going to understand the work, their parents right there with them.

00:30:13.000 I think that's going to have a profoundly positive impact.

00:30:15.000 We, in 2010, 11, I started working on Minds, co-founded Minds with Bill, and we didn't have an office.

00:30:22.000 We just worked from home and it was the best.

00:30:24.000 It was, for me, it was, I'd worked in the restaurant industry for a decade or whatever, 15 years.

00:30:28.000 So Bill was like, I want to get an office.

00:30:30.000 I want to just do like the, the official stereotypical, like, let's start a tech company.

00:30:35.000 Let's get an office. 0.82

00:30:36.000 We'll have it. 0.99

00:30:36.000 And I'm like, dude, it's just, it sucks. 0.99

00:30:39.000 To the commute blows.

00:30:40.000 So we did.

00:30:41.000 We got an office. 0.99

00:30:42.000 It sucked. 0.99

00:30:44.000 Commuting sucked. 0.99

00:30:45.000 It cost me like 50 bucks a day in commuting time sometimes. 0.95

00:30:48.000 Yeah, it drains your time and energy.

00:30:50.000 We got rid of it.

00:30:51.000 No more office.

00:30:52.000 You don't need an office, especially social network doesn't need an office right now.

00:30:55.000 We get to do Slack meetings.

00:30:56.000 You're literally a social network.

00:30:57.000 I think you have the internal technology to communicate with each other.

00:31:00.000 You just do not need an office.

00:31:01.000 You're almost incentivized not to to cut so much cost.

00:31:05.000 Is it sustainable, though?

00:31:06.000 Like, what kind of economy are we going to have left if all of our manufacturing goes to China and then all Americans do is run blogs?

00:31:14.000 Right, because if the power goes out and everyone's in their house in different parts of the country, the workday is over.

00:31:21.000 I don't know what the backup for that is.

00:31:22.000 If you're in an office, at least you can keep working because you're in the room together.

00:31:25.000 I guess your cell phone still works.

00:31:28.000 Yeah, you might be able to pull it off with solar panels.

00:31:31.000 Well, if your phone's charged, you can still talk to people, but the question I'm saying is, we don't make stuff anymore.

00:31:38.000 If people are working remote, the service economy is gonna get hit massive- that's gonna be massive.

00:31:42.000 Like, if we're working remotely, we don't need to go to local cafes anymore.

00:31:46.000 So everybody goes to one office building, and then for lunch they all go down to the little restaurants downstairs.

00:31:51.000 But if we're all working remote, you're eating at home.

00:31:54.000 So this is actually one of the contributors to the food shortages that we've been seeing, is that with the lockdowns and people not working, they were cooking more.

00:32:01.000 So they were buying base ingredients from supermarkets, and the shelves were depleted.

00:32:05.000 And so then there was a big surge in orders, but people also weren't working anymore, so that means nobody was making the stuff.

00:32:11.000 But anyway, so it's a big contributing factor when people aren't leaving.

00:32:15.000 So all these restaurants, one by one, are going to start falling.

00:32:18.000 I think people don't realize that it's falling apart to the extent that it is.

00:32:24.000 I think like these regular people who for some reason think Biden's competent, man, they're holding on.

00:32:29.000 And it's, you know what?

00:32:32.000 I'm confident they're going to have a long fall.

00:32:34.000 But that's not my problem.

00:32:36.000 Well, it might be because we're all in this together.

00:32:38.000 Right.

00:32:39.000 It's not just him that's going to be doing the fall.

00:32:40.000 He's the commander of the strongest military Earth has ever seen that we know of.

00:32:46.000 And he's like flubbing his words, mixing up North and South.

00:32:49.000 Korea doesn't. 0.87

00:32:51.000 And Libya and Syria? 0.58

00:32:52.000 Dude, it's, it's, I don't know.

00:32:54.000 I've never been in a war, but sometimes I put my head in, in the, in the, my mind in the place of someone that isn't being invaded, like a farmer.

00:33:03.000 And once it happens, it's, it's done.

00:33:06.000 Everything is changed in a moment.

00:33:09.000 And it doesn't, there's no warning.

00:33:10.000 Like, I mean, you might get a warning, but back in the day, they didn't get a warning.

00:33:13.000 People just ride up and then they're there.

00:33:14.000 Like when the power goes out.

00:33:17.000 Then you'll start to wonder, like, oh, yeah, did I?

00:33:19.000 I should have called my mom two days ago or all the things you should have done.

00:33:22.000 Should have voted for Trump.

00:33:24.000 Should have got that extra bottle of water.

00:33:26.000 Should have bought that ammo.

00:33:27.000 Shoulda, shoulda, shoulda.

00:33:28.000 And it's like, dude.

00:33:29.000 Yeah.

00:33:29.000 That's big news, too, that Biden apparently banned imports of Russian ammo.

00:33:29.000 Yeah.

00:33:32.000 Why?

00:33:33.000 I don't know.

00:33:33.000 Yikes.

00:33:34.000 This is economic. 0.98

00:33:35.000 What the heck?

00:33:36.000 And you know, it's funny because we got a bunch of super chats from people and they were like, get ammo now, Biden just banned Russian imports.

00:33:42.000 And I look at my phone and it's Luke and he's like, get ammo now.

00:33:46.000 I'm like, Luke, when you getting here?

00:33:48.000 Yeah.

00:33:49.000 Let's talk about what's going on in California, though.

00:33:50.000 This is funny.

00:33:51.000 Yeah.

00:33:51.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I give you our Okay, who was the guy who wrote the story about the clown comes out from behind the stage and tries to warn the audience there's a fire?

00:34:05.000 Some philosopher.

00:34:07.000 Kierkegaard.

00:34:08.000 Yeah, so here's the story.

00:34:09.000 First, Larry Elder brushes off LA Times column that called him the black face of white supremacy.

00:34:17.000 Okay, okay.

00:34:18.000 Clayton Bigsby, the Dave Chappelle sketch is not real. 0.99

00:34:21.000 These people are insane.

00:34:22.000 But this is a really good example of the Kierkegaard story. 0.67

00:34:25.000 I think it's Kierkegaard. 0.96

00:34:26.000 Of the clown. 0.88

00:34:28.000 He comes out from backstage where a fire has broken out. 0.96

00:34:31.000 And he starts frantically waving to the audience.

00:34:33.000 There's a fire in the back.

00:34:34.000 Everyone get out.

00:34:34.000 And they all start laughing.

00:34:36.000 Laughing with joy!

00:34:37.000 And the clown gets frustrated and tries desperately to tell them, but the more energetic he gets to warn about the fire that's actually burning on the theater, the more they laugh!

00:34:45.000 And then he says, Kierkegaard says, I imagine that's how the world will end.

00:34:49.000 I forgot exactly what he said, but the people are gonna be laughing, not realizing what's going on around them.

00:34:56.000 Okay, look, Larry Elder might win this one.

00:34:58.000 And I think that would be amazing.

00:35:00.000 He's a libertarian guy.

00:35:01.000 He's a smart fella.

00:35:03.000 And they're pulling out every stop imaginable to try and block Larry Elder from winning in California.

00:35:10.000 Now, here's what you need to understand.

00:35:12.000 Gavin Newsom will get recalled if people vote to recall.

00:35:17.000 If they don't vote for- Here's my- I could be wrong about this, but my understanding is, if you walk in and say, recall, and walk out, he gets recalled.

00:35:25.000 You don't need necessarily to vote for someone to replace him.

00:35:28.000 You just get rid of him.

00:35:30.000 Well, you lived under Newsom, right?

00:35:32.000 Yeah, I did.

00:35:33.000 How was that?

00:35:34.000 I mean, I kind of lived in a renegade county.

00:35:37.000 Orange County isn't quite like L.A.

00:35:39.000 or San Diego, certainly not like San Francisco.

00:35:41.000 So, Orange County has a long history of fighting back against sort of big metropolises like L.A.

00:35:48.000 I mean, Orange County used to be a part of L.A.

00:35:49.000 and then there was a big fight and then they broke off and they were just like, we don't want to have what you guys are doing in L.A.

00:35:55.000 So, I had that benefit.

00:35:58.000 So, but at the same time, I mean, yeah, the lockdown was crazy.

00:36:01.000 I mean, it was, it was total, and it was complete, and everybody had to wear a mask.

00:36:04.000 I mean, I'll never forget the first time I encountered one of my friends on the sidewalk, and she goes, the CDC said we can take our masks off!

00:36:10.000 It was the first time I'd seen her without a mask on!

00:36:12.000 Wow!

00:36:12.000 Such a sweet lady!

00:36:13.000 But, you know, I mean, I was just like, really?

00:36:16.000 You need the CDC to tell you that?

00:36:17.000 Outside?

00:36:18.000 When there's, you know, it's 72 degrees every day, and you can enjoy, you know, the air and everything?

00:36:23.000 So, I mean, but yeah, that's the mentality out there.

00:36:25.000 But based on you living under him, you think recall, yeah?

00:36:29.000 I talked to some political strategists that not only have been working California politics for decades, but they are actually actively working with some of the people that are hoping to replace Newsom as governor.

00:36:40.000 Republicans?

00:36:41.000 Oh yeah, yeah, Republicans.

00:36:43.000 Yeah, pretty much all of them.

00:36:46.000 And they, this was probably four months ago, and they said, do not misunderstand this, Gavin Newsom will not lose.

00:36:53.000 He will not be recalled.

00:36:54.000 He will not be replaced.

00:36:55.000 Period.

00:36:56.000 There's just, but this is back when there was just a bunch of like, you know, kind of half recognizable clown names, you know, that were throwing their hat.

00:37:02.000 There was one guy that was going around California with a bear.

00:37:04.000 You remember this?

00:37:06.000 No.

00:37:06.000 Oh yeah.

00:37:07.000 He did like a couple speeches with a bear, but the bear wasn't even a California bear, so that was really embarrassing.

00:37:14.000 That was the worst of it, yeah.

00:37:15.000 The bear was like, you know, licking itself while he's trying to give a speech.

00:37:20.000 When you see stuff like that, you're just like, okay.

00:37:24.000 But the political strategist that I talked to would say things like, no, no, you have to understand that Gavin Newsom—and they spoke off the record, of course, they didn't want me to print what they said—they said, Newsom is such a ruthless, conniving politician that he is absolutely not going to let anybody take over for him as governor.

00:37:40.000 Larry Elder's changing that, and you can see that he's changing that by the total derangement that you're seeing on the LA Times.

00:37:46.000 I mean, I saw Clause the other day.

00:37:48.000 It was like six titles.

00:37:49.000 They're just like flinging every piece of pasta that they possibly can at the wall to see what sticks on this guy, and it's not working.

00:37:55.000 Because Larry Elder makes sense.

00:37:56.000 He's the same guy. 0.54

00:37:57.000 I know, but like, who in their right mind would call a black man the face of white supremacy? 0.96

00:38:05.000 Well, what is wrong with these people? 0.95

00:38:07.000 I don't know.

00:38:07.000 This is the world we live in.

00:38:08.000 They're sick. 0.99

00:38:09.000 They're sick. 0.99

00:38:09.000 Sometimes I feel like the clown running out on the stage and going, And everyone's just laughing. 0.99

00:38:15.000 I wonder about that, because I try and have levity in my life and be kind of a jokester and not take things too seriously, but I wonder if a result of that is that people aren't going to take me seriously when I'm screaming about the fall, the danger that we're looking at.

00:38:35.000 I don't know.

00:38:36.000 Let me let me let me read a little bit read a little bit of this

00:38:39.000 They say the LA Times published a column on Friday titled Larry Elder is the black face of white supremacy

00:38:44.000 You've been warned Oh heaven which accuses the Republican of using overly

00:38:49.000 simplistic Arguments that whitewash the complex problems that come

00:38:52.000 along with being black in America LA Times columnist Erica D

00:38:56.000 Smith said Elder uses taunting and toddler like name-calling of his ideological enemies before 0.79

00:39:02.000 Belittling the gubernatorial candidate with her own insults. 0.89

00:39:06.000 Ha quote. I've learned that it's often best just to ignore people like Elder

00:39:10.000 People who are, as my dad used to say, skinfolk, but not kinfolk, she wrote before attempting to insult Elder as a Trump fanboy, dangerous, a troll, and implied he doesn't understand critical race theory.

00:39:22.000 His candidacy feels personal, like an insult to blackness, the Times columnist wrote. 0.84

00:39:28.000 Fox News host Sean Hannity called the column disgusting and invited Elder to respond to it directly.

00:39:33.000 Quote, I am genuinely, friend to friend, sorry that you have to go through something as evil, horrific, and racist as that, Kennedy said.

00:39:38.000 However, Elder, who leads the pack of Republican candidates looking to replace California Governor Gavin Newsom, wasn't surprised.

00:39:45.000 Quote, I anticipated that would happen.

00:39:48.000 This is why a lot of people don't go into politics, because of the politics of personal destruction.

00:39:53.000 This is not the first time the LA Times has attacked me.

00:39:56.000 There was another writer who all but called me a black David Duke.

00:40:00.000 Wow, they're scared to death.

00:40:02.000 That is definitely true.

00:40:03.000 Look at his libs of TikTok.

00:40:05.000 Hold this up.

00:40:06.000 This is great.

00:40:07.000 Let's pull this up.

00:40:08.000 They're terrified of Larry Elder.

00:40:08.000 I love that.

00:40:10.000 All of these... Oh, come on.

00:40:12.000 You're gonna give me the business?

00:40:13.000 I can't pull up the photo anymore?

00:40:15.000 I don't think it's gonna let me.

00:40:16.000 Okay, well, we can read some of it. 0.95

00:40:18.000 Larry Elder, the black face of white supremacy. 0.91

00:40:20.000 Larry Elder talks a lot. 0.95

00:40:22.000 Too bad you can't believe anything he says.

00:40:24.000 Larry Elder bashes the media.

00:40:26.000 Offers no solutions.

00:40:27.000 Remind you of an ex-president.

00:40:29.000 Oh, wow.

00:40:30.000 How many people in California are like, ooh, that's good.

00:40:33.000 You know, I do like Trump.

00:40:35.000 That's my other favorite one right there.

00:40:36.000 That's a good one.

00:40:36.000 open investigation into whether Larry Elder failed to disclose income sources.

00:40:43.000 If Larry Elder is elected, life will get harder for black and Latino Californians.

00:40:52.000 He's leading the pack.

00:40:53.000 Yeah, he is.

00:40:54.000 And this was not supposed to happen.

00:40:56.000 That's what's so funny is that, like, it was just guaranteed that this recall effort wouldn't work.

00:41:00.000 They are branding it so hard as right-wing Republican.

00:41:04.000 It's a right-wing recall.

00:41:06.000 Vote no on the Republican recall.

00:41:08.000 I mean, they are so desperate to brand it that way, and people just aren't having it.

00:41:11.000 I know Democrats in California that died-in-the-wool Democrats voted for Biden.

00:41:15.000 They'd vote for him again.

00:41:16.000 They said, I'm still voting yes on a recall.

00:41:18.000 Really?

00:41:18.000 Oh, yeah.

00:41:18.000 Do you think the recall is going to go through?

00:41:20.000 I do.

00:41:21.000 Really?

00:41:22.000 I do.

00:41:22.000 It's neck and neck though, isn't it?

00:41:23.000 I really want to be white-pilled on this.

00:41:25.000 Right, right.

00:41:25.000 I really do.

00:41:26.000 I mean, I... It's gonna happen.

00:41:28.000 Yeah.

00:41:29.000 Were you gonna say something?

00:41:29.000 Gotta believe.

00:41:30.000 So yeah, did you see the interview that Gavin Newsom gave where he was, like, maniacal?

00:41:34.000 He looked like, um, what's his name, Bateman?

00:41:36.000 Yeah, yeah, when he was mayor of San Francisco?

00:41:38.000 Yeah.

00:41:38.000 Yeah, that was great.

00:41:39.000 The reporter keeps trying to ask him, like, logical questions about all the problems that he's caused, and he just, he's cackling, and he cuts off the first question from the reporter, I believe, and he just, like, starts naming, like, numbers and stuff.

00:41:52.000 Total Patrick Bateman.

00:41:53.000 Yeah, yeah. 0.99

00:41:54.000 Crazy person. 1.00

00:41:55.000 American Psycho. 1.00

00:41:55.000 He owns it. 1.00

00:41:56.000 He owns the American Psycho thing.

00:41:57.000 Yeah, he does.

00:41:59.000 Well, you know, when I saw him defying his own COVID mandates, I was like, despot, get him out.

00:42:04.000 So I've seen the polling, but I gotta say, I guess I'm not entirely surprised that some Democrats are like, get rid of the guy.

00:42:11.000 Now here's where it gets really funny.

00:42:13.000 From Newsweek.

00:42:14.000 Well, it's from Newsweek, but it's quoting FiveThirtyEight.

00:42:17.000 Nate Silver calls Democratic strategy to leave Newsom recall candidate line blank, self-destructive.

00:42:24.000 If Newsom gets recalled, the Democrats have offered up no one?

00:42:28.000 Is that what's going on?

00:42:30.000 So the only option you have is a Republican?

00:42:32.000 So Larry Elder's gonna win?

00:42:35.000 Wow.

00:42:36.000 I hadn't even thought about that scenario.

00:42:37.000 That's crazy.

00:42:38.000 Well, so here's what they say.

00:42:38.000 FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver said Monday, the strategy California Democrats are pursuing heading into next month's gubernatorial recall election is self-destructive, as sitting governor Gavin Newsom faces the possibility that he could be voted out of office.

00:42:49.000 The Democratic Party is encouraging Californians to vote against removing Newsom from office, but to refrain from selecting amongst the 46 replacement candidates who appear on the recall ballot.

00:42:59.000 Okay, so there got to be some Democrats.

00:43:02.000 Newsom's campaign has made similar recommendations in recent weeks.

00:43:05.000 On Monday, Silver responded to a tweet posted by a political reporter who suggested the strategy was self-interested.

00:43:10.000 It's self-destructive more than self-interested.

00:43:13.000 Pretty decent chance Newsom gets recalled.

00:43:16.000 Democrats could potentially keep the seat if they urged their voters to consolidate behind an alternative Democrat, but instead, they're telling them not to vote on the replacement.

00:43:26.000 Dude, Larry Elder for governor is gonna be so amazing.

00:43:29.000 That would be amazing.

00:43:30.000 I want to see that in California.

00:43:31.000 Yeah, you know?

00:43:32.000 Because you've heard like what he's gonna do when, he keeps saying when he becomes governor, is that he's just gonna issue all these executive orders to like just basically cancel out a lot of these Democrat policies that have gone through these super majorities, unchecked, that have basically bankrupted the whole state, caused so much homelessness, People can't afford to live, you know?

00:43:49.000 I mean, and he's just gonna put a stop to all those policies in day one, according to him, you know?

00:43:54.000 But we'll see.

00:43:54.000 I think he'd do it.

00:43:56.000 I don't know how effective it would be.

00:43:56.000 He would do it.

00:43:58.000 Yeah, that's the big risk, right?

00:44:00.000 When Trump got into office, he made the mistake of thinking he could pull the trigger.

00:44:05.000 And then we see clearly he was obstructed every, you know, across the board.

00:44:08.000 So there's a lot of work to be done.

00:44:11.000 The tendrils of the corruption run deep.

00:44:14.000 And we have a medium-sized animal trap next to our chicken coop, because we have a fox that lurks around, and we don't want him to get in the chickens, right?

00:44:25.000 So we set this trap up.

00:44:26.000 Well, over time, the grass and everything grew up into it, and now I've locked it in place.

00:44:32.000 It grew all around it.

00:44:34.000 Now you just, like, rip it out.

00:44:35.000 You see, that's what happens with these super majorities. 0.95

00:44:39.000 This is what happens in D.C.

00:44:41.000 The swamp grows deep.

00:44:43.000 The roots get in there thick, and then it's really hard to pull it out.

00:44:47.000 So Larry Elder could get in.

00:44:48.000 But, you know, is he going to be able to effectively weed?

00:44:51.000 Another metaphor is like, if you get black mold toxicity, if you breathe it in, what happens is the mold goes into your system, then it diffuses evenly throughout your entire system.

00:45:00.000 So you just have small particles of mold in your entire system.

00:45:02.000 It's really hard to clean out, similar to how politics can corrupt and influence a society.

00:45:08.000 It's not just something we can pull out.

00:45:10.000 It's permeated the entire system and needs to be purged slowly.

00:45:14.000 Not the right medicine.

00:45:15.000 I want to make sure I understand that.

00:45:17.000 Are you calling Larry Elder the Black Mold of White Supremacy?

00:45:20.000 Yes, the Black Mold of White Supremacy. 1.00

00:45:23.000 No, you're saying the corruption is infecting your body and you can't get it out. 0.94

00:45:27.000 The corruption is the Black Mold of White Supremacy. 1.00

00:45:30.000 That is good too, because if it spreads around your house, You could scrub the room where you see it, but not realize there's tiny particles already moved somewhere else that grow again.

00:45:38.000 And it's like really weeding it out.

00:45:40.000 My friends, I have a white pill.

00:45:43.000 White pill means like optimism?

00:45:44.000 Yes.

00:45:45.000 Yeah.

00:45:45.000 Optimism, despite all indications that your optimism is crazy.

00:45:49.000 Yeah.

00:45:49.000 That's how I interpret it.

00:45:51.000 Gandalf fighting the, what was that?

00:45:52.000 That demon that he fought on the bridge?

00:45:53.000 Balrog. 0.99

00:45:54.000 The Balrog?

00:45:54.000 Yeah.

00:45:55.000 He took the white pill.

00:45:56.000 I think that's why he came back as the white wizard. 0.99

00:45:58.000 I wonder if that's where the reference stems from.

00:46:00.000 No, probably not.

00:46:00.000 Interesting.

00:46:01.000 It's just because, like, dark and light.

00:46:03.000 Yeah, makes sense.

00:46:05.000 Which is funny because it goes back to just night and day.

00:46:08.000 During the day it's warm, you're safe, you can see.

00:46:11.000 At night it's dark and the predators are lurking and you can't see them, so humans associated with the two.

00:46:15.000 Anyway, anyway.

00:46:17.000 I have good news for you.

00:46:19.000 I think that it is likely we will see Gavin Newsom be recalled.

00:46:25.000 And when that happens, Larry Elder is likely to win.

00:46:29.000 And I have one bit of evidence to back that claim.

00:46:32.000 Now, this is definitive proof.

00:46:35.000 You need only see... I'm building up suspense here.

00:46:38.000 Once you see what I'm about to show you... Everyone's probably sitting there saying, like, I don't believe it.

00:46:42.000 No, no, no.

00:46:43.000 Once you see this, you're going to be like, he won.

00:46:45.000 Larry Elder won.

00:46:47.000 All right, you guys ready?

00:46:48.000 We have this tweet from Jean Guerrero.

00:46:51.000 She is a columnist for the LA Times.

00:46:54.000 She said, get ready for this one, Democratic outreach to Latino voters on the California re-election is not working.

00:47:01.000 I've been speaking to young Latinxs and almost none of them have any idea what's going on.

00:47:06.000 This is really, really bad.

00:47:08.000 Almost none of the ones I've spoken to have any idea what's going on.

00:47:12.000 Okay, so let me break down for you why I think this is good news. 0.87

00:47:16.000 If this lady from the LA Times goes to a young Latino person and calls them a Latinx, they're gonna be like, this lady's crazy. 1.00

00:47:26.000 They probably have no idea what she's talking about.

00:47:28.000 We got some new staffers here at the house and, you know, they don't know who AOC is.

00:47:35.000 They don't know who Brett Kavanaugh is.

00:47:36.000 And I'm like, those are good things.

00:47:37.000 You know, I'm not trying to tell you who they are.

00:47:39.000 We were just talking about, you know, the state of politics and they're like, we don't know.

00:47:42.000 I'm like, great, great.

00:47:43.000 Do your job.

00:47:44.000 Everything's great.

00:47:44.000 You don't gotta worry about these people.

00:47:45.000 Regular people don't know what latinx is.

00:47:49.000 And so this shows you something powerful. 0.98

00:47:52.000 The democratic establishment is absolutely psychotic.

00:47:56.000 There are people in the LA Times going like, the latinxes aren't voting for us.

00:48:00.000 And the people are like, I don't know what that is.

00:48:03.000 So if they're going to start making phone calls, I'm looking for to speak with the, are you latinx? 1.00

00:48:08.000 Latinx? 0.67

00:48:09.000 Latinx? 0.67

00:48:10.000 Is it Latinxs? 1.00

00:48:11.000 I always says Latinx. 0.92

00:48:13.000 That's just because that's the hardcore in me.

00:48:15.000 But you know, because the S at the end, like Latinx. 0.99

00:48:15.000 I don't know. 0.99

00:48:18.000 Oh, it's Latinx S? 0.99

00:48:19.000 Yeah.

00:48:20.000 There's an S at the end?

00:48:21.000 There's an S at the end.

00:48:22.000 Latinxs? 0.76

00:48:23.000 Latinxs.

00:48:23.000 Latinxs?

00:48:24.000 It can't be Latinxs, but it sounds funny. 1.00

00:48:25.000 Don't tell me it's not.

00:48:26.000 Imagine someone calling you, for all the people who are out there,

00:48:30.000 I'm sure the people who watch this show, they've heard these words before,

00:48:33.000 but imagine your mom or your grandma, like they're Latino and they get a call,

00:48:36.000 I'm like, hi, are you a Latinx?

00:48:38.000 They're going to be like, what does that mean?

00:48:40.000 It's a genderless Latin. 0.98

00:48:42.000 It's so insane.

00:48:44.000 How would you do that in French?

00:48:46.000 Oh, they haven't got that far yet.

00:48:48.000 They don't have to worry about the French voters.

00:48:49.000 Just wait, just wait.

00:48:50.000 French voters.

00:48:51.000 Well, there's Northern Maine.

00:48:53.000 Okay.

00:48:53.000 The northernmost point of Maine is French, French American.

00:48:56.000 Then you've got the Nolans. 0.88

00:48:57.000 How are you going to, how are you going to get, how do you, how do you de-gender French? 0.99

00:49:02.000 No idea.

00:49:03.000 You could say le, L-E-A, le.

00:49:05.000 Licks.

00:49:06.000 So it's like a cross between la and le.

00:49:08.000 No, it's just licks.

00:49:10.000 L-X. 1.00

00:49:10.000 That's bad. 1.00

00:49:10.000 L-X. 1.00

00:49:11.000 Le.

00:49:11.000 The X is silent, so it's le.

00:49:13.000 Yeah.

00:49:15.000 Wait, the L is silent?

00:49:16.000 The X would be soft, so it'd be like le. 0.95

00:49:20.000 We are silly people. 0.69

00:49:21.000 All the romance languages are gendered. 0.99

00:49:24.000 Right.

00:49:24.000 They're all gendered, right?

00:49:25.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:49:26.000 Italian.

00:49:27.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:49:28.000 Spanish and French for sure.

00:49:29.000 Portuguese.

00:49:30.000 German?

00:49:31.000 Is German?

00:49:31.000 That's German.

00:49:32.000 These people did not think this through.

00:49:35.000 They didn't think this through at all.

00:49:37.000 This means that the democratic establishment is isolated in this bubble where regular people are not.

00:49:37.000 But think about this.

00:49:43.000 And although regular people, you know, default liberals will vote Democrat, They're not looking at this the same way the establishment is.

00:49:49.000 So when the LA Times comes out and screams, Larry Elder is the black face of white supremacy, regular people go...

00:49:57.000 I'm still saying that.

00:49:58.000 Tell me about this guy.

00:50:00.000 Hopefully I'll meet him soon or get to talk to him.

00:50:02.000 Yeah.

00:50:02.000 Larry Elder?

00:50:03.000 Is he cool?

00:50:03.000 Yeah, he's great.

00:50:04.000 I should look into it.

00:50:05.000 I haven't said much about it because I really don't know.

00:50:07.000 He's really sharp.

00:50:08.000 He actually had a TV program that he did a few times a week at the Epoch Times.

00:50:14.000 So I'm pretty familiar with him because I saw him a couple times and I watched his stuff.

00:50:19.000 And he's very big on Thomas Sowell, you know, the economist.

00:50:23.000 I think he was a mentor to him.

00:50:25.000 He's very big on, instead of pointing at something like systemic racism for problems in the black community, he'll point out the fact that, you know, a large portion of the black community doesn't have fathers in the home, you know.

00:50:36.000 So he has some traditional conservative values, but at least they're sane, you know.

00:50:40.000 I mean, he's not out there, you know, saying latinxs, like...

00:50:44.000 like drunk doctor seuss you know i mean he actually says things that that are grounded and are

00:50:50.000 reasonable even if you disagree with them you know but no i larry elder would make a really

00:50:55.000 interesting addition to the california government i i think aside from that um getting a change in

00:51:01.000 california Yes, just just for once it's like You know, I'll put it this way California is like if someone took it, you know kept using a toilet without flushing and it's just a mess and Larry Elder will will be the flush.

00:51:18.000 Yeah, you know what?

00:51:19.000 I mean like he's gonna be the person to come in and button and then just take his foot up and then pull the lever down and finally just He might find he's the guy that needs the shovel and needs to shovel all the poop out so that there's enough room for it to flush.

00:51:31.000 Totally.

00:51:32.000 Oh, this reminds me, though, that this video did not get nearly enough coverage.

00:51:36.000 Gavin Newsom cleaning up at Berkeley.

00:51:38.000 Did you guys see that?

00:51:38.000 Oh, I saw that, yeah.

00:51:39.000 Oh, man, that was great.

00:51:40.000 He looked like the petulant 12-year-old kid that's having to help his grandpa, like, clear out lumber.

00:51:44.000 He's, like, pitching it, and he's got this awful, like, you know, face on him.

00:51:48.000 It's so funny.

00:51:48.000 So that's how he cleans up California, petulantly and angry, like an elitist.

00:51:53.000 But Larry Elder would actually come in and do some serious work, I think.

00:51:55.000 That's what I'm saying about these people who just want power.

00:51:57.000 They don't want to do work, right?

00:51:59.000 They don't want to... Gavin Newsom's like... He was probably singing in his office, and they were like, OK, Gavin, look, this recall's a big deal.

00:52:05.000 There's a lot of people who want to vote you out.

00:52:07.000 We need to do something to show the public you're there for them.

00:52:09.000 And he's like, I could give a speech.

00:52:11.000 And they're like, no, no, no, you've got to get your hands dirty.

00:52:15.000 Excuse me?

00:52:16.000 I'm thinking, why don't we go clean up?

00:52:20.000 I thought for a minute you said you want me to go clean up their mess.

00:52:26.000 We gotta connect with people.

00:52:27.000 I won't do it.

00:52:28.000 And then like some guy said, Gavin, you gotta do it or you're done!

00:52:31.000 He's like, oh, fine.

00:52:33.000 And he's like, that's how I imagine it.

00:52:35.000 Yeah.

00:52:36.000 And then he shows up and he's like, make me clean.

00:52:39.000 That's exactly, that's the total vibe he was giving off in that video.

00:52:41.000 And I don't even think it had sound, but you could just see it on his face.

00:52:44.000 He was just like, why am I doing this?

00:52:45.000 This is beneath me.

00:52:46.000 But think about it, it's like, you know, there are people who work hard every day, construction and labor and, you know, medical professionals.

00:52:54.000 And this guy, what does he do?

00:52:55.000 He just... California is just awful.

00:53:00.000 Like, where were you?

00:53:01.000 You were in Orange County.

00:53:02.000 Yeah, Orange, in Orange County.

00:53:03.000 But prior to that, I was in the San Fernando Valley in L.A.

00:53:07.000 Oh, OK, OK.

00:53:08.000 Yeah.

00:53:09.000 And that's got a lot of problems, too, still.

00:53:11.000 Not as bad as, like, San Francisco with the homelessness and the poop patrols and stuff.

00:53:15.000 uh no i mean it's it's still got problems i mean homelessness is a serious problem i mean i'll i'll never forget i was standing on my patio uh this is probably six months ago and when they were releasing prisoners from the prisoner you know and i saw two police cars pull up they released a prisoner he signed his papers at the bus stop then we locked eyes and i went back inside wow like yeah that's because of the covet stuff yeah i'm assuming I mean, maybe it was just like a standard drop-off, but it was at the same time that I was hearing, oh, we're still releasing prisoners, you know, in droves.

00:53:41.000 So, yeah.

00:53:42.000 I mean, it's... California has problems.

00:53:44.000 It's not necessarily, you know, pockets.

00:53:44.000 It's statewide.

00:53:48.000 This is crazy to see this LaTinx system. 0.96

00:53:52.000 No, because I'm like, I gotta be honest, like I was talking about when we were mentioning this with Joe Biden, that even though I know Joe Biden isn't with it, like it's fairly obvious, I still believe there was some control.

00:54:05.000 You know, I'm like, oh, Joe Biden's out of it, but the system is working, right?

00:54:09.000 It's maybe in a weakened state, but it's still there.

00:54:12.000 Now with Afghanistan, I'm just like, there is no system. 0.98

00:54:15.000 There is no president.

00:54:16.000 It is just absolutely chaos.

00:54:18.000 I look at this thing with the Democrats and I'm like, there is no plan.

00:54:21.000 These people have genuinely gone insane.

00:54:23.000 As much as I rag on them, I always kind of felt like the wokeness was planned, coordinated. 0.98

00:54:29.000 Like they knew what they were doing to manipulate, lie, cheat, and steal.

00:54:31.000 This woman shows you, they don't. 0.99

00:54:34.000 They've eaten their own refuse.

00:54:37.000 That toilet's full?

00:54:38.000 They're eating out of it. 1.00

00:54:40.000 They believe the crap they're filling up in these toilets. 0.99

00:54:44.000 I guess it's a good thing though, right? 0.99

00:54:47.000 Well, it means like regular people aren't in that world.

00:54:50.000 That's a good thing.

00:54:51.000 But I guess I'll put it this way.

00:54:54.000 People keep voting for it because they think Republicans are bad. 0.97

00:54:58.000 Oh, well, you know, Republicans are kind of bad.

00:55:00.000 The two party system is stripping people of their of their choice, whether they realize it or not.

00:55:07.000 People feeling like the lesser of two evils.

00:55:09.000 Man, that drives me crazy.

00:55:10.000 That phrase lesser of two evils.

00:55:12.000 I've heard it for like 20 years.

00:55:14.000 People want to vote for the lesser of two evils.

00:55:17.000 Yeah, we're not even there anymore. 1.00

00:55:18.000 Now it's like you can vote for nothing or for a toilet full of crap. 1.00

00:55:23.000 The Democratic Party is like piling up a toilet and the Republicans are not going to flush it. 0.99

00:55:28.000 So it's like you can vote for the guys who at least won't stack up on it or you can vote for the guys who are going to stack up on it.

00:55:33.000 It's like.

00:55:36.000 Yeah.

00:55:36.000 What do you do?

00:55:37.000 Like, I can't take a 78 year old and a seven... Dave Smith.

00:55:40.000 Dave, you read my mind.

00:55:41.000 That's exactly what I was going to say.

00:55:42.000 I mean, because he analyzes the situation pretty thoroughly.

00:55:46.000 Not too long ago, he was talking about how, you know, we're looking at a very strong possibility in 2024 where it's Kamala Harris versus Donald Trump.

00:55:54.000 And he's like, if this plays out, it's a very interesting opportunity for a third-party candidate.

00:55:59.000 Not gonna say me, but, you know.

00:56:01.000 But that was his point, and I really think that might be the case.

00:56:03.000 I mean, I'd like to think that would happen, but I mean, won't they just... We can manifest it.

00:56:09.000 Right, Ian?

00:56:10.000 We have a lot of power.

00:56:11.000 We can do it just by thinking and meditating, or by talking about it on TV like every... I love calling this TV, by the way.

00:56:18.000 Television.

00:56:20.000 Yeah, let's use the, but I think if we, the more we talk about it, like it has compounding effects, we can definitely help manifest.

00:56:27.000 I think, uh, man, it's tough because Trump's, I don't think Trump, man, Trump's tough because his character defects are an issue, but his policy, you know, what he wanted to do was pretty good.

00:56:42.000 Like his second term agenda, I like.

00:56:44.000 School choice was big, banning critical race theory in contracts, it's a violation of law anyway, do it. 0.98

00:56:49.000 Getting our troops out of the Middle East and things like that, I'm for it. 1.00

00:56:52.000 Getting our manufacturing back, you know, I'm for it.

00:56:56.000 Protecting our borders, I'm for it.

00:56:58.000 But Trump's character plays an issue. 1.00

00:57:00.000 Now, I've never felt that his character was like, the guy could say the stupidest things in the world. 0.99

00:57:05.000 If he's doing a good job, then fine. 0.96

00:57:06.000 You know, who would you rather have?

00:57:07.000 A plumber who can't, you know, you got two plumbers.

00:57:10.000 One guy is falling asleep and can't speak straight.

00:57:12.000 The other guy is cussing like a sailor, but man, he can fix on pipes.

00:57:15.000 You know, which one do you hire?

00:57:17.000 2024, if we get maybe a third party option, I might consider it.

00:57:22.000 Well, the thing that worries me about Trump, though, is that we saw... It's not just like he was the plumber that was swearing up and down and was able to actually fix the problem.

00:57:22.000 Yeah.

00:57:30.000 People like... The machine got in his way and prevented him from fixing the problem, you know?

00:57:36.000 So, I mean, isn't that just gonna happen again?

00:57:38.000 Is it gonna be, you know, Russiagate 2.0?

00:57:40.000 And I mean, how strong is this machine that's going to prevent him from actually instigating these policies that he wants to do?

00:57:46.000 Yeah, that's why I've been saying, like, DeSantis is probably better than Trump.

00:57:49.000 Because Trump is one of the most polarizing candidates we've ever had.

00:57:53.000 And DeSantis will get smeared, like they're doing to Larry Elder, but they're not going to be able to smear him nearly as much as they did with Trump.

00:57:59.000 Because Trump had prominent personality and clips, and people ate it up.

00:58:05.000 DeSantis doesn't have the history of Donald Trump speaking or anything like this.

00:58:09.000 They're probably already working on it.

00:58:10.000 You know they're doing op-ed research like crazy right now.

00:58:13.000 Now, the thing about Dave Smith, because, you know, we had him on last Friday and we're big fans.

00:58:18.000 Michael Malice, press secretary.

00:58:19.000 That's all I want to say.

00:58:21.000 That's all I want to say.

00:58:22.000 You know what, man?

00:58:23.000 I can laugh about it, but I genuinely think America needs a Michael Malice, press secretary.

00:58:29.000 You know what that leads to?

00:58:30.000 Michael Malice, vice presidency.

00:58:32.000 And then Michael Malice, presidency.

00:58:35.000 Was he born in the U.S.?

00:58:36.000 I think he wasn't, so he can't be president.

00:58:38.000 Isn't that the law?

00:58:39.000 If he's press secretary, he's not going to be vice president.

00:58:41.000 No, no, eventually.

00:58:42.000 He'll just get his feet wet, he'll learn the system, and then in 2032... I don't think he can be.

00:58:46.000 I don't know.

00:58:47.000 I want to see him deal with the press.

00:58:49.000 That's all I want to see.

00:58:50.000 I mean, I think you said the other night that he would just run circles around these people.

00:58:54.000 Oh, that's an understatement.

00:58:55.000 Exactly.

00:58:56.000 Exactly.

00:58:57.000 They would be sitting there, their heads would start spinning, and then just like, it would be like the final scene in Kingsman while their heads blow up.

00:59:03.000 Yeah.

00:59:03.000 Yeah, that would be amazing.

00:59:06.000 But imagine what the American people would finally hear if you got someone like Michael to be speaking.

00:59:15.000 That's almost more important, in my opinion, than the presidency itself.

00:59:19.000 Because we don't hear from Joe Biden every day.

00:59:21.000 We hear from Jen Psaki.

00:59:22.000 We didn't hear from Trump every day.

00:59:23.000 We heard from, you know, Spicer or Kayleigh.

00:59:26.000 And they did a pretty good job.

00:59:28.000 Kayleigh McEnany was fantastic when she bought the book and she like, let me fact check you journal.

00:59:33.000 And she had all the articles to fact check them.

00:59:35.000 Brilliant.

00:59:37.000 The thing about Michael though, is he would add a level of Mockery.

00:59:43.000 And disdain and derision.

00:59:43.000 Yes.

00:59:45.000 That would be unparalleled.

00:59:46.000 A level of malice, if you will.

00:59:48.000 A level of malice.

00:59:49.000 Exactly.

00:59:50.000 Exactly.

00:59:51.000 That'd be a beautiful thing.

00:59:51.000 Built right into the name.

00:59:53.000 Yeah.

00:59:54.000 Well, one can hope, I suppose.

00:59:56.000 We can manifest it.

00:59:56.000 I'll put it this way.

00:59:58.000 I'm my my my biggest fear always with these things is that people are going to be like a third party can never win so

01:00:03.000 just support the Republicans and I'm like well that's why they'll never win because you won't put your faith in that

01:00:07.000 system you won't stand up for what you truly believe in and and and want and so we don't know what's going on with any

01:00:14.000 with a libertarian party we don't know what's going on the Republican Party one of the one of the challenges is that

01:00:18.000 there's no good party. 0.99

01:00:21.000 The Democrats are insane. 0.99

01:00:22.000 If you give them power, they will use it, they will misappropriate it. 0.94

01:00:25.000 Even if you find one, like, all these moderate Democrats who are like, we're gonna get back to kitchen table issues, vote for me, and then people said, okay, and they're like, here Pelosi, here's, here's, here's power.

01:00:34.000 Yep.

01:00:34.000 Okay, so great, you basically just voted for Pelosi.

01:00:36.000 What's the point of that?

01:00:37.000 Then you get the Republicans, and what do you get when you vote Republican?

01:00:41.000 They do nothing.

01:00:42.000 Nothing is better than burning the system down, I guess, so if that's your choice.

01:00:46.000 And then you have the Libertarian Party, which is insane. 0.96

01:00:50.000 They're just... They're just insane. 0.99

01:00:52.000 Yeah, the Libertarian Party of Texas tweeted, you can't be pro-freedom and anti-immigration, and I'm like, that just doesn't even mean anything.

01:00:58.000 Excuse me?

01:00:58.000 You said nothing.

01:01:00.000 I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm saying it's not saying... It's like, you can't like pizza if you're a fan of carrots.

01:01:07.000 What?

01:01:07.000 What are you talking about?

01:01:10.000 Yeah, the argument that you can't have secure borders or community makes literally no sense.

01:01:14.000 It's like, you're either an anarchist or you're a Nazi. 0.62

01:01:18.000 No, there's varying degrees in between those two things, my friend.

01:01:22.000 You can be very pro-freedom, but not an anarchist.

01:01:26.000 Libertarian party does not mean anarchist.

01:01:29.000 It means there's some government.

01:01:31.000 Are those restrictions anti-freedom? 1.00

01:01:33.000 It's just meaningless garbage. 0.99

01:01:34.000 It doesn't mean anything. 0.95

01:01:36.000 And I feel like most people who are starting to pay attention to politics are like, can we just have, like, a guy to, you know, do some maintenance on the machine?

01:01:44.000 You know, someone in government is going to be like, well, we'll get everything going.

01:01:47.000 The other thing too is, we're always writing up new laws.

01:01:50.000 We're always complaining about things.

01:01:52.000 Have we ever stopped to consider that, like, it's pretty, going pretty, pretty well.

01:01:55.000 Let's, you know, let's, let's take a breather.

01:01:57.000 How about for once, we just kind of like, have a seat?

01:02:01.000 Just breathe in and out a little bit.

01:02:03.000 No, it's always get someone in, new laws, more laws in the book, stack them up, stack them up, stack them up.

01:02:08.000 They never go away.

01:02:10.000 Have we ever stopped to consider that, like, you know, it's going pretty well.

01:02:15.000 I do, but no.

01:02:16.000 Not really.

01:02:17.000 Never.

01:02:17.000 I would love to see that.

01:02:19.000 To see more, what's the repellation of law?

01:02:23.000 Appealing, yeah.

01:02:24.000 I guess the issue though is there's certainly things that I think need to change.

01:02:27.000 Section 230 for instance.

01:02:29.000 Censorship stuff.

01:02:31.000 You know, so there's always, there's always something happening.

01:02:35.000 I guess the bigger concern now, however, is going to be the rise of authoritarianism.

01:02:38.000 I don't know if you guys saw what's going on in Australia.

01:02:39.000 We can talk a little bit about that.

01:02:41.000 Geez.

01:02:42.000 Yeah.

01:02:42.000 There's this viral video where this dude is, is COVID positive and he left his apartment.

01:02:48.000 So they should have warrant for his arrest.

01:02:50.000 My God. 0.96

01:02:50.000 They play a clip of my they play a clip of him on TV coughing and sneezing on an elevator and they're like He just won't do the right thing and I'm like It'd be fair if you're sick and then you get on elevators are coughing and sneezing out covering your mouth It's kind of a dick move. 0.96

01:03:04.000 Yeah, but like to issue a warrant for his arrest and Now they're saying they have to put signs on your, you have to put a sign on your door.

01:03:10.000 If you're suspected of having COVID suspected of having COVID, they force you to lock down and quarantine your house.

01:03:16.000 And they put a sign on your door saying, do not come in, leave packages at the door.

01:03:20.000 Like they gone full Nazi, man. 0.80

01:03:23.000 Yeah.

01:03:24.000 Yeah, I heard they had like four cases or four deaths out of 25 million people, I think, is their total number of people who live there.

01:03:33.000 Four is simply not enough to lock down your entire population.

01:03:36.000 Well, I don't know if it's four, but I don't think any number is enough to lock down your entire population.

01:03:41.000 I think we all agreed to the 15 days to slow the spread.

01:03:44.000 And Dave Smith said it best when he was like, there's nothing more permanent than a temporary government solution.

01:03:49.000 Or a temporary government program.

01:03:49.000 Yes.

01:03:51.000 It's like, yep.

01:03:53.000 You guys ready for this one?

01:03:54.000 Oh boy.

01:03:54.000 From the Daily Mail.

01:03:55.000 Get vaccinated or stay in jail.

01:03:58.000 New York judges order defendants to get COVID-19 shots as part of plea deals and bail agreements, but is it even legal?

01:04:05.000 A New York judge ordered a defendant to get the COVID-19 vaccine as part of his plea deal, while another made it part of a drug dealing suspect's bail terms.

01:04:12.000 Manhattan judge Jed Rakoff granted the release of a woman accused of drug dealing on the condition she get vaccinated.

01:04:18.000 Another order came from Bronx judge Jeffrey Zimmerman, who made vaccination part of a plea deal.

01:04:24.000 Neither defendant appeared to object.

01:04:26.000 I mean, to be honest, it's probably like, okay, I get to go and you know, it's all

01:04:30.000 The problem I have with this is the setting the precedent of government

01:04:30.000 I got to do.

01:04:33.000 mandated medication, which we already have with like fluoridation and water

01:04:36.000 and things like that.

01:04:37.000 It should be between you and your doctor.

01:04:39.000 Should you go talk to your doctor?

01:04:42.000 Not have a judge tell you what you should or shouldn't do.

01:04:44.000 Right.

01:04:44.000 Or, you know, we have Joe Biden now.

01:04:46.000 Check this out.

01:04:47.000 Joe Biden is calling on corporations.

01:04:51.000 He tells companies to start mandating vaccines in speech celebrating the approval of the Pfizer vaccine.

01:04:55.000 Hey, that's great.

01:04:56.000 The FDA approved the Pfizer vaccine.

01:04:58.000 Wonderful.

01:04:59.000 Now, same as it's always been, you can go talk to your healthcare professional that you know and trust and figure out what makes sense for you and don't ask me for medical advice.

01:05:06.000 But to tell all of the companies to start mandating this, we are going to see a purge of sick people.

01:05:13.000 And then what?

01:05:13.000 They go on unemployment?

01:05:14.000 Someone brought this up to me earlier.

01:05:16.000 They said, have you considered that with New York mandating the vaccine with no medical exceptions, and now for teachers as well, and this push from big companies, they're going to take all of the people with medical conditions that are still able to work and make them unable to work, and now they'll be stuck on government benefits.

01:05:34.000 Once again, just decimating the economy.

01:05:39.000 What do you think is behind these mandates?

01:05:41.000 I mean, really, because are we to believe that, you know, Joe Biden saying that private companies have to do this and judges saying that people have to do this on conditions of their parole?

01:05:49.000 Are we to believe that this is the result of a genuine concern for public health?

01:05:55.000 I definitely don't think so.

01:05:55.000 Or is there something else?

01:05:57.000 So what is it?

01:05:58.000 What is it?

01:05:59.000 Is it just power?

01:06:00.000 That's it?

01:06:01.000 Look at Newsom.

01:06:01.000 I don't know, man.

01:06:03.000 He doesn't want to do work.

01:06:05.000 Imagine being able to just tell everyone to do what they're told and they do it.

01:06:10.000 I think it's ideology.

01:06:11.000 People want power.

01:06:19.000 It's like, you ever play a video game you put in a cheat code?

01:06:22.000 You're playing Doom and you type IDDQD and then all of a sudden you can just go around doing whatever you want.

01:06:22.000 It's fun.

01:06:26.000 It gets boring kind of quick.

01:06:28.000 But that's basically what they're doing.

01:06:29.000 They're like, oh, now I can just snap my fingers and it's done. 0.76

01:06:33.000 But these people are not smart people.

01:06:35.000 You know? Like imagine you hired a guy to fix your toilet and he's a computer programmer, but you gave him carte blanche.

01:06:35.000 Mm-hmm.

01:06:43.000 And you come in your bathroom and it's just spraying water everywhere, nothing makes sense, and he's like, you leave

01:06:49.000 it to me, I'll figure it out. It's like, oh dude.

01:06:53.000 Yeah.

01:06:53.000 Will you though?

01:06:54.000 Will you really?

01:06:55.000 But you know what?

01:06:56.000 We're on the middle of nowhere now.

01:06:58.000 That's why I don't know if I care.

01:06:59.000 You know what I mean?

01:07:01.000 You've been saying that for a while.

01:07:02.000 It's just like these cities want to burn themselves down.

01:07:04.000 Let them do it.

01:07:04.000 You know what I mean?

01:07:06.000 If people aren't going to vote to recall Gavin Newsom, then, well, there you go.

01:07:11.000 Time to move.

01:07:13.000 You know, this is what I was saying.

01:07:14.000 People were complaining because I'm saying get out of cities, and they're like, no, you gotta stay and fight.

01:07:18.000 And I'm like, listen, in New York City, staying and fighting was voting.

01:07:22.000 And saying no to this.

01:07:24.000 And then they keep electing Democrats.

01:07:26.000 They elect Joe Biden.

01:07:27.000 You did.

01:07:29.000 And if people didn't stand up in enough numbers to actually make that change, then you did it.

01:07:37.000 You made your attempt and now it's time to go.

01:07:39.000 I mean, I suppose you can try and stay, but my point is like, if there's a bunch of people yelling like, hey, we're going to win if we all stick together.

01:07:46.000 And then when it comes down to it, not enough people stick together.

01:07:49.000 You tried.

01:07:50.000 What more can you do?

01:07:52.000 Well, there was that one restauranteur in New York, I think he had a bakery, and he said that he's not gonna, you know, he put this big poster in his window saying, we don't discriminate based on gender, sex, anything, vaccinated, unvaccinated, and they put that poster up right after De Blasio, right after De Blasio announced.

01:08:12.000 And they thought that they would have, like a lot of other restaurants, fall in line with them, you know, and say the

01:08:17.000 same thing.

01:08:18.000 It's just like, we're not going to do this.

01:08:19.000 Nobody did.

01:08:20.000 So now they're just, you know, the only ones out there saying, we're not going to follow this policy and we're

01:08:24.000 probably going to get charged thousands of dollars in fines.

01:08:26.000 So even when you do step up and do that, you're not necessarily guaranteed to have other people have that brave,

01:08:32.000 that bravery to do that.

01:08:34.000 You shouldn't worry about what other people are going to do in a certain, to a certain extent.

01:08:37.000 You should stand up for what you believe in.

01:08:39.000 And if that means, in the end, they'll delete your restaurant, it's worth it.

01:08:44.000 It's worth it to me.

01:08:45.000 Because we see what's happening with these kids, right?

01:08:47.000 You see that video in Australia where the 12-year-olds are getting pepper-sprayed and arrested?

01:08:51.000 There's a bunch of videos that are like this of kids being arrested.

01:08:53.000 There's a video out of Australia where it's a bunch of teenagers partying on the beach and they get arrested and they get fined $1,000.

01:08:58.000 And it's like...

01:09:01.000 To everybody who said to me, oh, I can't speak up and risk my job because I have to feed my kids.

01:09:05.000 And I'll be like, okay, well, you know, good luck feeding them when you're in a gulag.

01:09:08.000 Because if you don't speak up now, hey, it may be harder right now, but it's going to get way, way worse.

01:09:14.000 I mean, we're looking at the signs, man.

01:09:17.000 Look at what's going on with Australia.

01:09:18.000 They're building quarantine camps.

01:09:20.000 They're putting signs on people's houses, labeling them as, you know, unfit, undesirables.

01:09:27.000 This same course, this same history has happened over and over and over again.

01:09:31.000 It's almost like you can just track it to a beat.

01:09:34.000 You know, here we are in 2022.

01:09:36.000 What was going on in the 20s leading up into the 30s, into the 40s?

01:09:40.000 You know?

01:09:41.000 People just go along with it.

01:09:43.000 Like your friend who was like cheering for the fascism.

01:09:46.000 Right, right.

01:09:47.000 Yeah, totally fine with them.

01:09:48.000 But I don't know enough about Australia or Australian history to understand why that place is the one that's actually doing the full-on Nazi lockdown.

01:09:56.000 They gave up all their guns.

01:09:58.000 That's what happened in Australia.

01:10:00.000 So, do you guys know when Australia gave up all their guns?

01:10:02.000 You can look it up.

01:10:03.000 They gave up all their guns a little while ago.

01:10:05.000 And not that I think people would go out and actually fight with their government.

01:10:09.000 The left tries to use it as an argument because they always want to jump to the most extreme.

01:10:14.000 If I say, hey, you know one of the first things Nazis did was target disabled people, making it harder for them to live, discriminating against them.

01:10:21.000 Then people will go, yeah, but the Nazis also did most extreme thing ever. 0.72

01:10:24.000 And I'm like, yes, that was bad.

01:10:27.000 That was really bad.

01:10:28.000 One of the worst things in history.

01:10:29.000 And they also did a bunch of other bad things before that that led up to the point where people accepted it.

01:10:34.000 It's actually what Gina Carano was saying.

01:10:36.000 Remember that post she made that got her in trouble?

01:10:38.000 She was saying that they demonized people to the point where neighbor attacked neighbor and we've got to resist that.

01:10:45.000 They took her job because of it. 1.00

01:10:46.000 Yep.

01:10:47.000 So we're walking into the exact same thing.

01:10:50.000 It's one step at a time.

01:10:51.000 It's not like, you know, that's what I always say, did you think the despots wouldn't have an excuse?

01:10:55.000 They're not just gonna snap their fingers and become authoritarians overnight.

01:10:58.000 It looks like it was in 1996, there was a mass shooting in Australia and they restricted guns.

01:11:05.000 So here's what happens when you have guns.

01:11:07.000 The government, the agents of the state, are scared to kick your door in without a warrant.

01:11:13.000 Huh.

01:11:14.000 Because you are legally allowed to defend yourself.

01:11:16.000 Breonna Taylor's boyfriend, when the police broke the door down, and they fired at him, he fired back and hit a cop.

01:11:22.000 I think he fired first, and hit him in the leg.

01:11:24.000 They tried charging him with it, and he ultimately won, and there was no charges in the end, because he was legally allowed to defend himself from someone breaking his door down.

01:11:33.000 In Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the UK, we got these videos of cops walking in, breaking the door down, and just coming in and beating people and dragging them out.

01:11:42.000 We don't see that in the United States because the police are concerned the citizen is probably armed.

01:11:49.000 It's not that the citizen is going to get in a gunfight.

01:11:51.000 No, we don't want that to happen.

01:11:52.000 It's that if they don't do it properly, the power balance between the individual and the state are, at that moment, the same.

01:12:02.000 In the UK, the state always has the advantage.

01:12:05.000 So don't give it to them.

01:12:06.000 Why give the state the advantage?

01:12:08.000 That's a big difference.

01:12:10.000 So, I don't know.

01:12:11.000 You know, Australia, people just slowly gave up more and more of their freedoms, and while you weren't looking, Nazis took over.

01:12:17.000 Hmm.

01:12:18.000 So by allowing the government to take their guns, the government just innately realized, oh, well, now what's the next step?

01:12:26.000 Because it's, it's, like you said, it's not necessarily that they were going to, you know, use their guns and arm in the streets and, you know.

01:12:31.000 It doesn't need to be intentional.

01:12:33.000 Right.

01:12:34.000 It doesn't need to be intentional.

01:12:35.000 It needs to just be that, uh, Water flows.

01:12:40.000 You know, if you have a river and there's a dam, and you open the dam, the water pushes through.

01:12:49.000 There's no conspiracy among the water to make the water flow through, it's just the natural flow of things.

01:12:54.000 So when you have governments that overreact and are panicky, and don't like an armed citizenry, Then you lose your guns.

01:13:01.000 What happens when you have a population with no weapons?

01:13:03.000 Tyrannical government easily just flows through those open gates. 0.99

01:13:07.000 So, you know, a lot of people, I think, assume that the quest to take guns away is on purpose.

01:13:12.000 I don't necessarily think so.

01:13:13.000 I think for some people, seizing guns is on purpose.

01:13:16.000 But I watched this old, like, gun debate thing with Rosie O'Donnell and Tom Selleck, and I've watched a bunch of other arguments about the 90s assault weapons ban and stuff like that.

01:13:25.000 It's panic.

01:13:26.000 It's people who don't know anything about guns, panicking, and then virtue signaling their way into banning them.

01:13:33.000 And then what happens when you have a disarmed population? 0.98

01:13:37.000 Tyranny flows right through those open gates.

01:13:40.000 Whether anyone wanted it to happen or not.

01:13:42.000 Look, I don't know.

01:13:43.000 I don't know what you guys think about the mandates and stuff.

01:13:47.000 I think if people want to go get the vaccine, it's their business.

01:13:49.000 I just think excluding people based on this stuff is...

01:13:54.000 Mandates are awesome in the right circumstance.

01:13:57.000 I think this is the not the right circumstance personally.

01:14:00.000 Um, it's very exhausting to talk about this stuff because I don't know if screaming at a camera is enough to get people to, to, to change.

01:14:11.000 But other than that, what else is there?

01:14:12.000 I don't know.

01:14:13.000 You know, self, self-improvement.

01:14:15.000 That's kind of the route I'm going in my life right now.

01:14:18.000 Get better at singing, get better at thinking, get better at typing.

01:14:22.000 The vaccine minutes they're doing say that you have to have, for like, you know, the military is doing it now too, you have to have, you know, your vaccines have to be up to date.

01:14:33.000 So I was, actually this is really, really funny, somebody, I tweeted Vaxxer ID is racist.

01:14:39.000 You see the joke I'm making?

01:14:40.000 Voter ID is racist, you know, Vaxxer ID.

01:14:42.000 And then what happened was actually kind of surprising.

01:14:45.000 The response I got from Democrats said a vaccine card is not an ID.

01:14:50.000 And I was like, what are they talking about?

01:14:52.000 I'm talking about de Blasio requiring IDs to get into buildings.

01:14:56.000 I didn't say vaccine cards had Vaxxer ID.

01:14:57.000 Like, they're using the vaccine mandate as a way to mandate identification.

01:15:03.000 They didn't know it.

01:15:04.000 And then when I actually told some people, like, the mandate requires ID, this one guy was like, no, it doesn't.

01:15:10.000 And I was like, did you read the mandate?

01:15:12.000 And he goes, yes.

01:15:12.000 And I was like, then you didn't read it.

01:15:15.000 And so he was like, show me where it says that.

01:15:16.000 I sent him a link.

01:15:18.000 And then he comes back 10 minutes later and he's like, oh, wow.

01:15:20.000 I didn't see that part where it says an ID must be government, you know, issued or whatever.

01:15:25.000 And I'm like, yes, I'm talking about IDs.

01:15:27.000 They don't know.

01:15:29.000 That could be a mantra, the 49% in that first poll you mentioned.

01:15:32.000 Oh, I didn't see that part.

01:15:33.000 That could be like their mantra. 0.97

01:15:34.000 You know, they revel in being nasty people. 0.68

01:15:38.000 It's like all of the hate float in one direction. 0.96

01:15:41.000 It's the craziest thing.

01:15:42.000 Yeah, I see the nastiness component, but at the same time I also see just kind of, they feel some sort of bizarre warmth and ignorance, you know?

01:15:50.000 They need things to be like third grade level, you know?

01:15:53.000 The people that I talk to that just don't really see what's happening or they perceive it in some way that I just don't understand, they just want to tune in to CNN for 20 minutes, have their 20 minutes, and then have their talking points and be done with it.

01:16:06.000 They need it to be very simple, very easy, and then they can get on with their lives and shout down people that disagree with them.

01:16:13.000 I think we're addicted to convenience.

01:16:15.000 I think the fake news is very much a form of convenience and almost a form of comfort to some of these people, which is really turning out to be quite the problem because they're believing everything they tell them.

01:16:23.000 So if they do change the rhetoric and be like, oh, Joe Biden did this thing wrong, they're just going to believe that hook, line, and sinker too.

01:16:30.000 So they're clearly not like progressively, progressively thinking through this.

01:16:33.000 What I was hoping when I started to see this was that they were starting to see that hiring

01:16:38.000 someone based on the color of their skin like they did with Kamal was a terrible idea.

01:16:42.000 And voting for someone like Biden against Trump, terrible idea.

01:16:46.000 But no, it's just because they're blindly following along the media.

01:16:49.000 Because it makes them feel good.

01:16:51.000 But why did it become so nasty?

01:16:53.000 You know, like we talked about Phil DeFranco before.

01:16:55.000 There's a few other people I know that I'm just surprised to see become really vile people.

01:17:00.000 Petty tyrants.

01:17:01.000 A lot of it is perception, like the way that you see someone else's text is not necessarily the way they intended it to be seen.

01:17:11.000 And so you get people that are angry, they type something down out of rage, which is never going to totally, you know, translate what they're feeling.

01:17:19.000 And then someone else reads it and has their own feelings that they put on top of that.

01:17:24.000 Just a massive miscommunication.

01:17:25.000 Like you said, you talk to your friend, but it was through text.

01:17:28.000 And so a lot of miscommunication through text.

01:17:31.000 I've had a really good friend of mine I've actually had to cut ties with via text because I couldn't handle the text comments.

01:17:37.000 After a while, like it's...

01:17:39.000 But I still think, you know, I get it, but you're missing the main point.

01:17:43.000 Like, why are people that I know posting the meanest, craziest things on Facebook in general? 1.00

01:17:52.000 Like, people who used to be normal, people I know from Chicago, all of a sudden are posting things on Facebook saying like, F these stupid MFers. 1.00

01:18:00.000 I hope they all die and burn and suffer. 1.00

01:18:02.000 And I'm like, what the? 1.00

01:18:04.000 What happened to these people?

01:18:06.000 Yo! 1.00

01:18:07.000 Like, there's one viral tweet where someone's like, I've seen a whole bunch of pro-vax people celebrating the deaths of people who wouldn't get vaccinated from COVID and wishing their death, but I've never seen the anti-vax people wishing the same for those who are pro-vaccine.

01:18:19.000 Like, what happened to these people, man?

01:18:23.000 It's like they're infected with some kind of rage.

01:18:27.000 And they just want more.

01:18:28.000 They're addicted to rage and anger and being mean people.

01:18:33.000 Someone with a, perhaps a bit of a spiritual or religious outlook would say that there's some sort of possession that's happening.

01:18:38.000 Because people are, I mean people are really, a lot of them, I know exactly the kind of people you're talking about and they're not themselves.

01:18:45.000 I don't know what that is.

01:18:46.000 But getting to the kernel of where that started, that's really hard to unwind.

01:18:49.000 I don't know, I don't know what that is.

01:18:51.000 Demonic possession, got it.

01:18:52.000 We'll roll with that one.

01:18:56.000 For yourself, what would put you in that state of mind?

01:19:01.000 Like being really mean to people.

01:19:03.000 I just tried not to do that.

01:19:03.000 Yeah.

01:19:04.000 I think if I was physically uncomfortable, like maybe overweight or eating...

01:19:09.000 I know when I'm physically uncomfortable. Even if I eat crap and then like a day or two days later, I just have a

01:19:14.000 terrible, terrible mood.

01:19:16.000 I... I don't... I can't understand it, man.

01:19:16.000 So that...

01:19:20.000 I could not understand posting, F all the MFers, I want them to die, nyeh. 1.00

01:19:25.000 I post silly garb- silly non- I tweeted out on- I tweeted out, Joe Biden is the greatest president of this or any generation. 0.98

01:19:31.000 Then I waited a few minutes for people to laugh, and then I said, why aren't you retweeting this? 0.83

01:19:35.000 Like, I got, I got, I got, uh, I got no hate.

01:19:38.000 I got concern.

01:19:40.000 You know, I got empathy.

01:19:42.000 And I have disdain.

01:19:42.000 I don't hate.

01:19:44.000 I don't want to cause pain.

01:19:46.000 It's like, um, residual from Trump come in and be like, the far leftists, all these Jerks and Hillary's like basket of deplorables and then Biden comes in and he like arrests all these people on one six and what he should be doing is letting those people go and Commuting their sentences or their their crimes like John Hancock did with Shays rebellion when the farmers revolted before they signed the declaration He realized they did it out of desperation.

01:20:13.000 They didn't do it because they were evil people So he pardoned a bunch of them Biden should pardon those people if he wants social cohesion right now But as long as there's this, he said, she said, they're villains, he's an enemy, we're gonna see it in the populace.

01:20:27.000 Yeah, but dude, there is an objective reality here.

01:20:30.000 What is that?

01:20:31.000 In Portland, a bunch of right-wing groups wanted to have a Summer of Love event.

01:20:36.000 And sure, you can argue they know what's gonna happen if they have an event in Portland, but they're allowed to put on a rally where they talk and say things.

01:20:43.000 Antifa showed up and started throwing gas and attacking people.

01:20:46.000 And then a bunch of Proud Boys reacted and started fighting back.

01:20:49.000 And then the media blames the far right.

01:20:52.000 Certainly, I think the far, you know, the right-wing groups that are down there don't understand that they're being baited.

01:20:58.000 But it's like, what am I supposed to say?

01:21:01.000 Right-wing group is allowed to have a rally.

01:21:03.000 They're allowed to stand up on their truck with a big sign saying, summer of love and the hate.

01:21:08.000 And that's okay, if you don't like it, you know, walk away.

01:21:11.000 Antifa has no right to show up and throw bricks at people, and beat them, and crash, you know, try and ram them with cars.

01:21:16.000 There was a shootout, and I think the guy who got arrested was an Antifa guy, I don't know for sure, but he looks more like an Antifa guy who was shooting.

01:21:22.000 Two people were shooting.

01:21:24.000 We see a bunch of videos, a bunch of reports of the Antifa people with weapons and things like that.

01:21:28.000 The objective reality is, The media will call Antifa left-wing, and they'll call conservatives far-right.

01:21:35.000 And I started thinking about this, I'm like, then what's right-wing?

01:21:38.000 Like, if you're a conservative, and you're far-right, then how would the media define right-wing?

01:21:45.000 Oh, I think I know.

01:21:47.000 A pro-universal healthcare liberal like myself.

01:21:50.000 Mm hmm.

01:21:51.000 Traditional liberal, I suppose.

01:21:52.000 More classical liberal in a sense.

01:21:54.000 But they'll call me right wing.

01:21:56.000 They'll call an actual conservative far right.

01:21:59.000 They've lost the plot.

01:22:00.000 Yeah, I don't know what's left and right and conservative and liberal.

01:22:03.000 Like we look at crypto economics and being conservative would be to maintain the current

01:22:09.000 system of fiscality, you know, economics.

01:22:12.000 But we see that it's a broken system that's on a runaway train to demise.

01:22:17.000 So it's actually conservative to change that system to a more conservative financial system.

01:22:24.000 So whereas you would think it's liberal to tear down the economic order and install a new system, it's actually very conservative to do that because the system is dangerous.

01:22:33.000 That's my opinion.

01:22:34.000 I don't think the words have become meaningless.

01:22:36.000 Yeah.

01:22:37.000 You can be a liberal conservative that's far right and far left at the same time.

01:22:41.000 It's okay.

01:22:41.000 I'll tell you what's funny. And a centrist. When I was watching, I was watching one of Hassan's

01:22:45.000 video because we talked about Hassan Piker buying that big house. And he was talking about, he said

01:22:49.000 a lot of things about Afghanistan that are identical to exactly what I said, that it's a

01:22:53.000 shame it's going down this way. It's good that we're getting out. And then he said, but it's

01:22:58.000 literally Trump's fault. This is, you know, this is Trump's plan. Trump negotiated this. And my

01:23:02.000 take was, and it's literally Biden's fault. Biden changed the plan. Biden, you know, failed, like,

01:23:08.000 pulled our trips out of Bagram Air Force Base in the middle of the night. And I'm like, if someone,

01:23:14.000 someone super chatted this to us, if we had, you know, Jack Posobiec or Jack Murphy or Steve Bannon

01:23:21.000 sitting down with like Vosh or Hassan, they'd probably agree on most things and then disagree

01:23:27.000 on cultural issues and culture war issues.

01:23:30.000 And so it's like, I guess I'm just pointing out.

01:23:35.000 There's a tribal need, in my opinion, to blame Donald Trump for everything.

01:23:40.000 And so my criticism of Assad in this regard, and many on the left, is it's literally not Trump's fault if you actually follow what's happened.

01:23:48.000 But it's easy to say Trump negotiated the withdrawal, therefore he bears responsibility for how this went down, but Joe Biden is literally the president, and he changed the terms of the deal.

01:23:59.000 So it's like, it's tribalism.

01:24:01.000 Yeah, I want to avoid trashing Biden.

01:24:04.000 Like, big problem.

01:24:05.000 I was born in Ohio and Cleveland Browns for life.

01:24:08.000 Cleveland Browns fan, because that's my hometown. 0.99

01:24:11.000 And when the quarterback would screw up, a Cleveland Browns quarterback, throw a few incompletions, throw an interception, the fans would turn on the guy and be like, this guy sucks. 1.00

01:24:21.000 He's terrible. 0.97

01:24:22.000 And then the guy would start playing worse because his morale would be shot. 0.99

01:24:26.000 And then he'd be like, he's terrible, get rid of him.

01:24:27.000 They'd go through a quarterback, get a new quarterback.

01:24:29.000 He's the golden child, throws a few interceptions.

01:24:32.000 He's terrible, get rid of him. 1.00

01:24:33.000 So they destroyed their own team by talking crap about it. 0.99

01:24:37.000 If we do that with Biden, I'm afraid that could happen. 0.99

01:24:39.000 What if the quarterback was 78 years old and couldn't talk?

01:24:43.000 You still want to improve his morale.

01:24:45.000 No, at that point you say, get him out, get him out.

01:24:48.000 Look, I get what you're saying.

01:24:49.000 If I was sitting there with you, Ian, at a Cleveland Browns game and the quarterback was 78 and he was going, and you were like, don't, don't rag on him, man.

01:24:58.000 I'll be like, bro, come on, dude, what are you talking about?

01:24:58.000 We got to give him a chance.

01:25:01.000 But it's more subtle.

01:25:02.000 It makes sense if he was 40.

01:25:04.000 Like at what point do you watch a quarterback throw in completions?

01:25:07.000 At what point do you say he's not the guy anymore?

01:25:09.000 Bro, Joe Biden wasn't the guy to begin with.

01:25:11.000 He's the commander-in-chief.

01:25:13.000 It's like the quarterback of the best team in the NFL.

01:25:17.000 Let's try this.

01:25:19.000 What if the quarterback was 78, couldn't talk right, and wasn't actually chosen by the team's owners or managers.

01:25:26.000 It was just that the quarterback they were gonna have, the fans didn't like.

01:25:29.000 So they were like, just get us anybody.

01:25:31.000 And they're like, we got this old guy sitting in the stands.

01:25:34.000 Because the fans don't like that guy.

01:25:34.000 Just take him.

01:25:36.000 So it's like what you were saying, right?

01:25:38.000 You got a quarterback, he throws a few interceptions, and then when people boo him, he starts cussing

01:25:42.000 at him and he's rude.

01:25:44.000 And they're like, we don't want to watch this game anymore.

01:25:46.000 And the owner's like, we're losing money.

01:25:48.000 What do we do?

01:25:49.000 We need anybody.

01:25:50.000 Anybody.

01:25:51.000 And they're like, just grab that 78-year-old guy who can't talk straight.

01:25:55.000 And now you've got people sitting there watching and they're like, dude, this guy can't play.

01:25:59.000 What do we do?

01:26:00.000 And you're like, dude, we don't want to lose another quarterback.

01:26:02.000 Don't rag on him.

01:26:03.000 And I'm like, I think we want to lose this quarterback.

01:26:05.000 I think he can go home now.

01:26:06.000 But you lose the whole team when you... But the vice quarterback is even worse.

01:26:11.000 And the speaker of the field is just...

01:26:14.000 Insanely bad.

01:26:15.000 So assuming you don't have another offer, there's no free agents waiting to get hired right now.

01:26:19.000 Then that's when morale improvement is key.

01:26:22.000 Because like Tom Brady wasn't necessarily the best quarterback, but he was in a great organization with massive people were behind him.

01:26:30.000 He had incredible morale and thought he was great.

01:26:33.000 So he kept being great.

01:26:34.000 He kept fulfilling that prophecy.

01:26:36.000 What would President Kamala be like?

01:26:38.000 She'd laugh a lot.

01:26:40.000 Live, laugh, love.

01:26:42.000 Maybe we get some video of her firing a pistol.

01:26:44.000 Could you imagine a President Kamala, like already she's laughing at the question about Americans trapped in Afghanistan. 0.82

01:26:52.000 But could you imagine her like sitting down with like Vladimir Putin and he's like, if you do not withdraw your troops from Libya, we'll fire a nuke.

01:27:01.000 Wow.

01:27:02.000 Are these troops in Afghanistan?

01:27:03.000 Are they like 15,000 Americans left for dead?

01:27:06.000 Were they just left?

01:27:07.000 Are they going to be in prison like prisoners of war?

01:27:09.000 Well, the Taliban is saying, like, no, no, we'll get the Americans out.

01:27:13.000 And then there's all these these Afghanis and their families that worked with the American troops that are still there.

01:27:18.000 Like, I don't know how many thousands, tens of thousands. 0.84

01:27:20.000 Are those people we're just going to leave them to be incarcerated, sold into slavery, have their heads cut off, like? 0.89

01:27:26.000 I mean, here's the challenge. 0.98

01:27:28.000 You gotta watch out for the propaganda.

01:27:30.000 There's a bunch of propaganda coming out saying like, you know, America, don't do this.

01:27:34.000 There's a, like I saw one story, it said a famous Afghan TikToker was captured and executed by the Taliban.

01:27:41.000 And it seems like a lot of these stories are preying upon Western sensibilities to make Americans be like, we have to go back in and save them all.

01:27:47.000 And it's like, no, no.

01:27:51.000 The reason the problem's this bad is because we did this in the first place.

01:27:55.000 You need to stop.

01:27:56.000 Just stop.

01:27:58.000 Unless you're pro-colonization, I guess.

01:28:00.000 You know, and you think America should colonize, then it's like, okay, well then you're pro-colonization.

01:28:04.000 Colonize Mars, maybe?

01:28:06.000 Yeah, well they want to colonize Afghanistan. 0.88

01:28:08.000 And then build a pipeline.

01:28:10.000 Into Europe.

01:28:11.000 I'm not a big fan of colonizing on top of other people.

01:28:14.000 Yeah.

01:28:14.000 What do you do?

01:28:15.000 Like, I don't mean, I don't mean do colonization.

01:28:17.000 I'm like, what do you do about the fact that you've got international elites and you've got massive corporate interests in getting oil pipelines out of Afghanistan and they're going to fund the politicians and the system will flow in that direction?

01:28:32.000 Probably change the economics situation.

01:28:35.000 I think, you know, remove the fiat currency from diminish its value.

01:28:40.000 Seems like it's happening automatically.

01:28:41.000 How do we get the left to be on board with like ending the Fed or about or auditing it or something?

01:28:46.000 You got to make it exciting.

01:28:48.000 My goal is to get super famous with a hit song and then people are like, yeah, whatever you say, because I'm obsessed with you.

01:28:55.000 Call it worship.

01:28:56.000 I don't know.

01:28:57.000 What if we accuse the Fed of being racist?

01:28:59.000 Yes.

01:29:00.000 There you go, that's a good start.

01:29:01.000 I do like that they've gotten woke.

01:29:03.000 No, I don't like that either.

01:29:06.000 I don't like using their tactics against them.

01:29:08.000 I'm not a big fan of it.

01:29:10.000 Now, let's be honest.

01:29:11.000 The Federal Reserve was created by a bunch of rich white men to uphold white supremacy. 0.92

01:29:14.000 There you go.

01:29:16.000 Do you think they'd buy that?

01:29:18.000 It's worth a try.

01:29:19.000 It only works when their priests tell them.

01:29:22.000 They tried the Rockefeller Rothschild keyword thing in 2011, and that was all the buzz.

01:29:30.000 Oh, the Rothschilds! 0.98

01:29:32.000 Oh, the Rockefellers! 1.00

01:29:33.000 Those families were involved in the creation of the banking order and the Federal Reserve and things like that.

01:29:39.000 So, that shock value of, like, Rockefeller is gone.

01:29:42.000 Like, that came out, it was, like, 2008.

01:29:44.000 That name, all of a sudden, was, like, ooh, a pretty bad name.

01:29:47.000 Right.

01:29:49.000 It's tough to say, because, like, you know, this is something James Lindsay talks about all the time, when he's, like, you know, going through his, like, he's analyzing Herbert Marcuse's work about, you know, the Marxist professor Herbert Marcuse, who's kind of, in a sense, an architect of the woke stuff, is that the asymmetry is the whole point.

01:30:06.000 There's not really a reasonable debate to have with some people that are kind of infected with the woke ideology.

01:30:11.000 It's about asymmetry.

01:30:12.000 It's about this side is permitted, this side is not permitted.

01:30:16.000 Plain and simple.

01:30:17.000 There's no room for discussion.

01:30:19.000 There's no room for exchange.

01:30:20.000 It's just right-wing bad, that's not tolerated.

01:30:23.000 Left-wing good, all goes.

01:30:26.000 This is part of the study?

01:30:27.000 Herbert Marcuse, yeah.

01:30:30.000 His essay is called Repressive Tolerance.

01:30:34.000 Very dense essay.

01:30:35.000 I would encourage you to listen to James Lindsay's analysis of it because he, you know, he's lived in this world, you know.

01:30:41.000 But yeah, that was essentially his whole take on it.

01:30:45.000 The idea is that tolerance at a certain point is repressive and is bad.

01:30:50.000 So you can't be tolerant of the right.

01:30:53.000 You have to be tolerant of the left.

01:30:54.000 Yeah, who was that other guy?

01:30:55.000 I can't remember his name.

01:30:59.000 The Paradox of Tolerance?

01:31:01.000 Popper.

01:31:01.000 Oh, I'm not sure.

01:31:02.000 Popper, that's right.

01:31:03.000 Oh, yes.

01:31:04.000 Yeah, I've heard of that.

01:31:05.000 And he's not wrong.

01:31:07.000 The problem is the left is intolerant and we tolerate them.

01:31:11.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:31:12.000 There you go.

01:31:13.000 Well, that's the other thing you see coming through in our current society with Marcuse and his ideas, as he was saying, that it's a pretty interesting argument that he makes.

01:31:20.000 He says, you know, if we had just pre-censored Hitler and just said, let's not let him speak, then we wouldn't have had the Holocaust, now would we?

01:31:27.000 So we have to pre-censor these ideas.

01:31:29.000 They can't be expressed.

01:31:31.000 Because if we tolerate those speeches, then it's repressive for everybody. 0.90

01:31:34.000 But he was censored.

01:31:36.000 Yeah.

01:31:36.000 Hitler?

01:31:37.000 Yeah, he absolutely was.

01:31:38.000 Yes.

01:31:38.000 He was?

01:31:39.000 And the people on the left try to bring up saying, like, you know, like, see, even, you know, even they went after him.

01:31:46.000 And then the counter is, yes, and it didn't do anything.

01:31:50.000 Because when you push things into the corner, they just fester in darkness.

01:31:53.000 And if people are actively paying attention to these ideas, then they understand them and they can reject them.

01:32:01.000 But you let these ideas grow in the darkness and then it's all of a sudden you're like standing up and like, whoa, where did all this come from?

01:32:07.000 Well, that's what we're seeing now is that there's that bad idea that the idea of pre-censorship is happening again with big tech platforms.

01:32:13.000 They're saying, let's just not let these ideas out there and it's backfiring.

01:32:16.000 It doesn't work that way.

01:32:18.000 Yeah.

01:32:19.000 But, uh, I have to say, I don't want to leave this, uh, before we go to super chats on a, on a sad note, I want to point out that woman who called, uh, uh, young Latinos latinxs and just remind you all that these people have no idea how to communicate with young people.

01:32:19.000 Yeah.

01:32:32.000 And they're probably going to create a generation of more liberty minded individuals who are anti-woke.

01:32:37.000 Not a guarantee.

01:32:39.000 They'll get a lot of people to join their little cult tribalist whatever.

01:32:42.000 But I think a lot of young people are going to be like, what did you call me?

01:32:46.000 That has nothing to do with my community.

01:32:48.000 Yo, why is Fast and the Furious so popular?

01:32:51.000 Failing.

01:32:51.000 I just watched F9.

01:32:52.000 Oh, how was it?

01:32:53.000 Sorry.

01:32:54.000 I like it.

01:32:54.000 I love Final Fantasy.

01:32:55.000 Dude, the Fast and the Furious cinematic universe is the best.

01:32:57.000 Oh my god.

01:32:58.000 Well, why?

01:32:58.000 You know why?

01:32:59.000 Because they're self-aware.

01:33:02.000 Are they?

01:33:03.000 It's absolutely.

01:33:04.000 Dude, they went into space!

01:33:06.000 They went to outer space!

01:33:08.000 It's awesome!

01:33:10.000 Why did they go to outer space?

01:33:11.000 No one knows.

01:33:11.000 I don't know.

01:33:13.000 I don't know.

01:33:14.000 But it's self-aware.

01:33:16.000 And the point is, Fast and the Furious is like cars, music, music pretty girls, and action-adventure.

01:33:24.000 Because people like these things.

01:33:25.000 They don't know what this woke stuff does.

01:33:28.000 But no, for real, in Fast 9, I'm sorry for the spoiler, guys.

01:33:31.000 Movie's still out.

01:33:32.000 Bring it on.

01:33:33.000 They go to space.

01:33:34.000 Just think about how hilarious that is, where the first movie was like a normal crime drama, and now they're in space!

01:33:41.000 Fast 9 in outer space.

01:33:43.000 I was watching it and I was just, I'm laughing, I love it.

01:33:46.000 Each and every movie is better.

01:33:47.000 They did Hobbs and Shaw, did you see that one?

01:33:49.000 Fast and the Furious, Hobbs and Shaw.

01:33:49.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:33:51.000 It's a Superman movie!

01:33:54.000 I don't even know what's going on.

01:33:55.000 It's amazing.

01:33:56.000 Dude, they got a role with it.

01:33:59.000 I really hope that eventually they get to the point where they legit get superpowers.

01:34:03.000 Oh, that'd be cool.

01:34:04.000 How amazing would it be if the FFCU literally becomes a new superhero cinematic universe?

01:34:10.000 That'd be great.

01:34:11.000 Well, they already have super soldiers.

01:34:14.000 So they have the potential for Captain America, right?

01:34:16.000 So in Hobbs vs. Shaw, you had Aegis Elba playing a guy who was a super soldier.

01:34:21.000 So he was like super strong.

01:34:22.000 He was great.

01:34:23.000 He's awesome.

01:34:24.000 That movie, I didn't like that movie, but I loved him in that movie.

01:34:28.000 I thought the movie was fantastic.

01:34:29.000 I didn't like Statham.

01:34:30.000 My problem with Statham is that he never seems like that he's at risk.

01:34:35.000 There's never any like sense of urgency or danger.

01:34:37.000 He always is like too powerful.

01:34:39.000 He's an actor.

01:34:39.000 He knows his character can't be hurt so that there's no fear.

01:34:42.000 So I'm like every time he's on camera I'm not afraid that the character is going to die.

01:34:46.000 Just I'm waiting for it to happen.

01:34:48.000 Dude I want to see in F10 like Vin Diesel like raids you know the super soldier compound And he gets injected and then he becomes, he gets superpowers, you know, and then Ludacris is just, he can fly for some reason.

01:35:04.000 I think that's the only way you can heighten it from here, from space.

01:35:06.000 I know!

01:35:07.000 That's why I'm like, they go to Mars.

01:35:10.000 Is Justin Lin always the director?

01:35:11.000 Does he direct all of them?

01:35:13.000 He's the writer, producer, and director of this F9.

01:35:16.000 It just, every movie is crazier than the last.

01:35:19.000 Like, to an extreme degree.

01:35:20.000 I like that.

01:35:21.000 People love it.

01:35:22.000 They make hundreds of millions of dollars.

01:35:23.000 They could totally start, like, bending reality.

01:35:25.000 Like, Doctor Strange, and then, like, have The Rock.

01:35:28.000 I don't want to spoil the movie.

01:35:30.000 Oh, it's great.

01:35:31.000 Like, we're so close to Vin Diesel getting superpowers.

01:35:34.000 Let's do it.

01:35:35.000 He's got a brother, apparently.

01:35:36.000 He could have, like, a second cousin who turns out to be, like, his mom or something.

01:35:40.000 A wizard!

01:35:41.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:35:42.000 Yeah!

01:35:43.000 I like that.

01:35:44.000 Yeah, well Vin Diesel's a big, like, D&D guy, isn't he?

01:35:47.000 Yeah, he's a gamer.

01:35:48.000 He's a hardcore gamer.

01:35:49.000 How cool would it be if, like, they go to Egypt and find a Stargate?

01:35:54.000 That'd be amazing!

01:35:55.000 That'd be cool.

01:35:56.000 You know Vin is into that, dude.

01:36:00.000 Aliens!

01:36:01.000 What's next, man?

01:36:02.000 Hey, already super soldiers.

01:36:05.000 Alright.

01:36:06.000 So we don't want to jump too much.

01:36:09.000 So the next one's got to be like, they find the super soldier serum and they themselves get the super soldier abilities.

01:36:16.000 Then the next one can be like, someone, you know, jumps really high.

01:36:20.000 Yeah, you got to get Vin Diesel got to get bombarded with radiation sometime.

01:36:24.000 There's the whole scene of him being like, his arms bulging.

01:36:30.000 Yes.

01:36:31.000 And then he turns green.

01:36:33.000 Yeah.

01:36:34.000 Dude, when I turn it on, I know it's gonna be just like... Nonsense.

01:36:39.000 Yeah, it's awesome nonsense. 0.84

01:36:41.000 It's just like... Man, it's a parody of itself. 0.56

01:36:45.000 That's how you do it.

01:36:47.000 You gotta lean into it.

01:36:48.000 I love it.

01:36:58.000 We got Jonathan Galtarini says, my wife and I have been trying to have a second baby for three years now.

01:37:02.000 Nice.

01:37:03.000 We had to resort to IVF, which is way too much for us to afford.

01:37:07.000 A GoFundMe shout out would be dope. 1.00

01:37:09.000 Andrea and Zachary IVF fundraising by Andrea Kunkel.

01:37:13.000 Best of luck for you on your children endeavors.

01:37:16.000 Try fasting, too.

01:37:17.000 When you free up the blood flow in your lower core, it helps, you know, free up the blood flow in your genitals, I found, which can help you have babies.

01:37:25.000 Yeah.

01:37:25.000 All right.

01:37:26.000 Terrific.

01:37:27.000 Patrick Stover says, Tim, what is the best guitar and why is it the Telecaster?

01:37:31.000 You know, I honestly, I just like it the way it sounds, to be completely honest.

01:37:31.000 Oh.

01:37:36.000 So my first guitar was a Strat, and then the first guitar given to me when I was a little kid was a Strat.

01:37:41.000 And then I got a Stratacoustic when those came out, which is a small fiberglass body Stratocaster.

01:37:48.000 It looks like a Stratocaster, a Fender Stratocaster, but it's acoustic.

01:37:50.000 And it doesn't sound very good, and they don't make them anymore.

01:37:52.000 Is it that black one? 1.00

01:37:53.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:37:53.000 It was the first one I ever bought myself.

01:37:55.000 But then I bought a Telecaster.

01:37:57.000 A white Telecaster, because it just sounds better.

01:38:01.000 It's the easiest way to explain it.

01:38:02.000 I mean, I suppose you can always change out pickups and customize and do whatever you want.

01:38:05.000 But I just got... We're building a music studio, production studio for all the music, and so we got the Acoustasonic Telecaster.

01:38:12.000 Incredible.

01:38:13.000 Is that that brown one? 0.97

01:38:14.000 Yes.

01:38:14.000 Nice.

01:38:15.000 It's it's up there.

01:38:15.000 It's expensive, but it is I I they had a really expensive one.

01:38:20.000 It was like four grand because it was some exotic African wood or whatever and I'm lying.

01:38:23.000 We're not trying to you know, do like we want something that sounds really really good so we can make music and it's hard to justify an expense this high even for the one that did get.

01:38:32.000 But for the live performances, I think this thing is absolutely... The sound is incredible.

01:38:39.000 It gives you an acoustic sound or an electric sound when you can just change... Yeah, it's brilliant.

01:38:44.000 And it's a Telecaster.

01:38:45.000 It's the Acoustasonic Telecaster.

01:38:46.000 It's amazing, amazing, amazing.

01:38:48.000 I don't know, I just love it.

01:38:50.000 I don't like Strats.

01:38:52.000 I like Schecter, but I think just Telecasters, man.

01:38:56.000 Yeah, I love the Martin.

01:38:58.000 It's the dreadnought.

01:38:59.000 I mean, that's the one I've played for 20 years.

01:39:02.000 It's the acoustic Martin dreadnought.

01:39:03.000 Electrics, I don't know.

01:39:04.000 I don't know much about them.

01:39:06.000 I had a Stratocaster.

01:39:07.000 That was my first one.

01:39:07.000 Yeah, I think most people get a Strat to start.

01:39:10.000 It's like a cheap black and white.

01:39:12.000 Yeah, that's what I had.

01:39:14.000 John R says, this is in reference to yesterday's Cast Castle.

01:39:17.000 Number one, have you ever had Irish cream and coffee, Tim?

01:39:20.000 You're in for a real treat.

01:39:21.000 I've not.

01:39:22.000 Overrated.

01:39:23.000 We bought Irish cream.

01:39:24.000 Oh, okay.

01:39:25.000 And it's like, it's actually creamy, I'm like, I've never had it.

01:39:26.000 Oh, maybe I'll try that in the coffee.

01:39:27.000 Yeah, we went to the liquor store, because we're building the new studio, and so we wanted to get, like, good booze for guests and for celebrations.

01:39:35.000 Like, we're not gonna dish out really expensive stuff for just literally no reason and just waste money or anything like that.

01:39:40.000 So I got corn whiskey, which was like 10 bucks.

01:39:43.000 And I'm the most excited for that.

01:39:45.000 Because I want to get some of the snootiest whiskey snobs and be like, here's your corn whiskey with a plastic bottle.

01:39:50.000 No, it's in a glass bottle.

01:39:53.000 But we got some good stuff, too.

01:39:54.000 And a lot of people are pointing out that none of us drink.

01:39:57.000 Everybody who went to the liquor store, nobody drinks.

01:39:59.000 And so they're like, it's like bringing vegans to a butcher shop.

01:40:02.000 Like, what are you doing?

01:40:02.000 We have this Ohishi whiskey.

01:40:05.000 Tim, we had a little bit of this before the show.

01:40:07.000 The three of us did.

01:40:08.000 And I'm not a drinker, but I tasted it.

01:40:10.000 It's good.

01:40:11.000 You can tell it's made with rice.

01:40:12.000 I like it.

01:40:15.000 It's not really bitter.

01:40:16.000 It's very smooth.

01:40:18.000 Yeah, it's part of the experience.

01:40:20.000 So that when people come, you have your option between your caffeine or your alcohol.

01:40:24.000 Tired.

01:40:24.000 Yes.

01:40:25.000 Yeah.

01:40:25.000 You can either some people are really nervous, you know, you can give them a little bit a little bit a little bit of

01:40:25.000 A little bit of both.

01:40:25.000 Yeah.

01:40:30.000 booze if they're if they're They're really tired. We got Red Bulls and

01:40:35.000 For people who are just crazy and listen to nu metal or whatever. We just they mix it together

01:40:40.000 Oh John has got a number two He says, what's a good raspberry vodka, you ask?

01:40:46.000 There isn't one.

01:40:46.000 Ha!

01:40:47.000 And number three, something weird, liquor-wise, that no one would expect you to have at a party, absinthe.

01:40:52.000 Let me know before you go to the liquor store again and I'll hook you up.

01:40:55.000 Good stuff, by the way.

01:40:56.000 Have you guys had it?

01:40:57.000 I'm pretty sure we got some.

01:40:57.000 Oh yeah.

01:40:58.000 It is really good. You could put an ice cube in it and then light it on fire.

01:41:01.000 That's like one of the, um, one of the, what do they call it?

01:41:04.000 A traditional ways to do it.

01:41:05.000 Burn your little, or maybe it's like a sugar cube or something.

01:41:08.000 Oh yeah. That's what it is.

01:41:09.000 It's a sugar cube.

01:41:10.000 And it's got, it's made with wormwood.

01:41:10.000 Yeah. Yeah.

01:41:12.000 It's psycho mildly psychoactive.

01:41:14.000 But I think that's the stuff in Europe.

01:41:16.000 I don't think you can get that here.

01:41:17.000 Oh, interesting.

01:41:18.000 Wyrmwood?

01:41:19.000 So I was talking to the guy, he said, he's like, oh, do you want Ebsynth?

01:41:19.000 Yeah.

01:41:22.000 And I was like, is that legal here?

01:41:24.000 And he's like, it's really different.

01:41:26.000 You go to Europe, it's very different.

01:41:27.000 Yeah, it's a different thing.

01:41:28.000 Yeah, so everybody buys it all excited, but, you know, it's not.

01:41:32.000 F. Yeah.

01:41:36.000 All right, let's see what we got here.

01:41:39.000 Um, Andrew Kari says Biden is stopping extra unemployment in early September just after pushing for vaccine mandates.

01:41:45.000 No coincidence.

01:41:47.000 Interesting.

01:41:48.000 Interesting.

01:41:50.000 All right.

01:41:51.000 Baylian says, not Ian.

01:41:52.000 According to Rachel Maddow, the Afghanistan fiasco is all because of Trump's immigration laws that hindered the Afghan people from coming to the U.S.

01:41:59.000 Of course.

01:42:00.000 Of course.

01:42:01.000 They couldn't get out or they couldn't get in.

01:42:03.000 Yeah.

01:42:04.000 What's the phrasing here?

01:42:06.000 Michael Shipley says, I found a company that will customize beanies.

01:42:08.000 Let me know where to send the info.

01:42:10.000 You wanna?

01:42:11.000 Yeah, send the info at gmail.com.

01:42:13.000 That'd be good.

01:42:14.000 I will accept that.

01:42:19.000 Cigars and Sig Arms says, I don't know what's the most amazing phenomenon from the last year.

01:42:24.000 Right-wingers turning on the cops or left-wingers simping for Big Pharma?

01:42:29.000 Great.

01:42:29.000 There you go, man.

01:42:32.000 Funny, huh?

01:42:33.000 John R says, number four, no, I'm not an alcoholic.

01:42:35.000 All right.

01:42:37.000 James Nelson says, never forget the 150 ish generals and command staff Obama and Biden purged to get this woke military.

01:42:45.000 Oh yeah.

01:42:46.000 And Trump didn't do that.

01:42:47.000 Trump could have come in and been like, you're all fired.

01:42:50.000 The one thing he was famous for and he didn't do it enough.

01:42:55.000 Sarah says, a friend fought in Afghanistan.

01:42:57.000 After withdrawal, he's one of only a handful of soldiers left from his unit.

01:43:01.000 The rest passed in the last week.

01:43:03.000 Suicide.

01:43:04.000 Support our veterans. 0.98

01:43:05.000 They need and deserve it.

01:43:06.000 Definitely, man.

01:43:06.000 Sorry to hear it.

01:43:11.000 Herpnerp says, what's the most heart-wrenching movie scene you've seen?

01:43:15.000 Someone showed me the choice scene from Sophie's Choice today.

01:43:18.000 Broke my heart into a million pieces.

01:43:21.000 I'm a big fan of that scene from The Notebook.

01:43:24.000 Ryan Gosling.

01:43:25.000 I won't spoil it for you.

01:43:26.000 Watch The Notebook if you haven't seen that.

01:43:28.000 Oh man, it was in Fast 8.

01:43:30.000 I'm just kidding.

01:43:33.000 Very emotional.

01:43:36.000 We were in the theater together when that happened.

01:43:38.000 No, The Notebook's good.

01:43:40.000 Very emotional.

01:43:41.000 I cried, man.

01:43:41.000 That was an emotional time in my life.

01:43:44.000 I think I cry every time during that final scene.

01:43:46.000 So good!

01:43:46.000 When he finally breaks through and gets to her.

01:43:49.000 Yeah, that's gut-wrenching.

01:43:52.000 I'll have to watch it.

01:43:53.000 Oh, it's great.

01:43:54.000 It's so hot here.

01:43:56.000 All right, let's see.

01:43:57.000 Brian Ventura says, Tim, hitting Chicago for the first time this October.

01:44:00.000 Keep up with the foodie scene there still?

01:44:02.000 If so, what's the best neighborhood to find the following?

01:44:04.000 Ramen, pierogies, deep dish pizza.

01:44:06.000 P.S.

01:44:07.000 Love the website.

01:44:08.000 Hey, thanks for being a member at TimCast.com.

01:44:08.000 Best $10 ever.

01:44:11.000 Ramen.

01:44:12.000 I don't know about ramen in Chicago.

01:44:13.000 Do you have any?

01:44:14.000 I've never had it in Chicago.

01:44:15.000 Yeah, pierogies.

01:44:17.000 Well, I don't know if it still exists, but in the Midway area where I grew up, it's like a very Polish neighborhood.

01:44:24.000 And you can probably find a lot of little Polish delis around there.

01:44:28.000 Like it's like Pulaski Avenue, you know, on the south side.

01:44:31.000 But man, I honestly don't know.

01:44:33.000 Deep Dish Pizza, however, you know, I like Lou Malnati's.

01:44:38.000 Giordano's Lou Malnati's?

01:44:38.000 What do you think?

01:44:39.000 I'm going to go with Giordano's, but we got it frozen and had to cook them off.

01:44:44.000 And I think the, um, not Illuminati's.

01:44:47.000 What do you call it?

01:44:48.000 Lou Malnati's.

01:44:51.000 It was a little watery.

01:44:52.000 I think because it was frozen, it would, it would become a little watery.

01:44:55.000 So I didn't get the full Lou Malnati's experience.

01:44:58.000 I will tell you this, when we order Giordano's here, we order deep dish, because I'm like, hey, I'm from Chicago, I'm gonna make people try it and see what they like better.

01:45:04.000 When you cook the Lou Malnati's, it comes out with water on top, and I literally lift it and drain the water off of it.

01:45:11.000 It's not bad though, it's like tomato juice, it's just watery, and I have no problem with it, I think it tastes better.

01:45:17.000 But that's just like full disclosure.

01:45:19.000 The Giordano's thing, it tells you to microwave it.

01:45:21.000 Yeah, weird.

01:45:22.000 Yeah, it comes in frozen, it's like microwave it, then bake it, and I'm like, Oh, that sounds really weird.

01:45:28.000 Something's wrong there.

01:45:28.000 No, no.

01:45:29.000 I don't like that.

01:45:29.000 It is good.

01:45:30.000 It is still good, though.

01:45:31.000 It is very, very good.

01:45:32.000 I'm a huge fan of the art of pizza in Chicago.

01:45:34.000 If you guys haven't had that yet, the deep dish art of pizza.

01:45:37.000 I used to go to a place called Big Tony's, which is just to the west of Bucktown, I think.

01:45:45.000 It's like in Logan Square.

01:45:46.000 And I would get the giardiniera pizza, and that was my favorite.

01:45:51.000 With the carrot and celery and all the cauliflower.

01:45:54.000 Pickled veggies.

01:45:55.000 Giardiniera, that's a Chicago thing, right?

01:45:57.000 Yep.

01:45:57.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good stuff.

01:45:58.000 Yeah, I remember when I first went to New York, I went to a sandwich shop, like a bodega.

01:46:03.000 And I was like, I'll get, you know, let me get like a roast beef and cheddar with some giardiniera.

01:46:07.000 And the guy was like, with what?

01:46:10.000 And I was like, giardiniera?

01:46:11.000 And he was like, I don't know what you're saying.

01:46:13.000 And I was like, like, like, giardiniera?

01:46:16.000 And he's like, bro, I don't know what that is.

01:46:19.000 And I went, oh!

01:46:21.000 I went to Potbelly's and I saw the bottles and they're called Hot Peppers.

01:46:25.000 They don't say Giardiniera.

01:46:26.000 It's a Chicago thing.

01:46:28.000 It's like being in a different country.

01:46:30.000 It's like, what do you mean?

01:46:31.000 And then I remember the first time when I was buying a sandwich, it said hero and roll or whatever and I was like, the hell's a hero?

01:46:39.000 You know, like lip, no, no, no, hero.

01:46:41.000 H-E-R-O is what a sandwich is called in New York.

01:46:42.000 Oh, interesting.

01:46:43.000 Yeah, it's called a hero.

01:46:43.000 Weird.

01:46:44.000 And so I walk in and I'm like, what's a hero?

01:46:46.000 And he's like, sandwich.

01:46:48.000 And I was like, but like, what is it?

01:46:51.000 I don't know what it is.

01:46:52.000 We call them subs in Chicago. 0.71

01:46:54.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:46:55.000 Or hoagies.

01:46:55.000 Yeah, same in Chicago.

01:46:56.000 Yeah, I guess, I don't know, no one really says hoagie.

01:46:58.000 Yeah, I grew up with hoagie in the mountains.

01:47:00.000 Yeah, that's what we called them.

01:47:01.000 Yeah, hoagie. 0.58

01:47:02.000 A long time ago, sub.

01:47:02.000 We said sub.

01:47:03.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:47:04.000 In Ohio, they were subs.

01:47:05.000 And we have sub for everyone.

01:47:06.000 Sub sandwich.

01:47:07.000 Yeah, access subs, yeah.

01:47:08.000 What's the best food in Chicago?

01:47:10.000 If I was going to recommend food in Chicago, well, we all love Portillo's.

01:47:14.000 Oh, the Stinking Rose. 0.88

01:47:15.000 That has some great garlic bread.

01:47:16.000 I think that's downtown Chicago.

01:47:18.000 Well, there you go.

01:47:19.000 Is that Chicago?

01:47:20.000 Stinking Rose? 1.00

01:47:22.000 Go to El Gallo on South Archer Avenue.

01:47:27.000 Get yourself a burrito.

01:47:28.000 That's where it used to go.

01:47:28.000 Burrito.

01:47:29.000 There's Los Gallos.

01:47:30.000 No, El Gallo, I think, is on 63rd Street near Narragansett.

01:47:35.000 And Los Gallos is on Archer.

01:47:37.000 We used to go there, those people, that was always so much fun.

01:47:39.000 If it still exists, I haven't been there in a long time.

01:47:43.000 Alright, let's see what we got here.

01:47:48.000 Well, that one's a mean one, I'm not gonna read that one.

01:47:49.000 Don't do it!

01:47:52.000 Total Wildlife Management says, my son is a new marine.

01:47:55.000 They just told everyone, if you don't get the jab, then you have to be discharged.

01:48:00.000 But isn't that true for everybody who signs up?

01:48:03.000 You get tons of vaccines?

01:48:04.000 That's my understanding. Yeah. Yeah, I don't understand this one.

01:48:06.000 Like when I know a bunch of people who have joined and they're like, yeah,

01:48:10.000 you go through basically give you a bunch of vaccines and it's like, okay, well, here's another one.

01:48:14.000 I don't get it. It's FDA, a non-approval thing. And I saw they did approve the Pfizer vaccine,

01:48:20.000 but then I read something or someone sent me something that said that it didn't,

01:48:23.000 it didn't, it was still had.

01:48:24.000 had problems but they just had approved it. Did you read

01:48:27.000 anything about that.

01:48:28.000 I did not. I did not see that I read that they passed the trials

01:48:32.000 with an exorbitant amount of people and that it's going into

01:48:35.000 It's going into phase four now which happens after FDA

01:48:35.000 long term.

01:48:38.000 approval which is like I look I can respect people saying that

01:48:42.000 they want to make their own I can respect people saying that they want long-term, you know, studies and stuff.

01:48:47.000 But I just think it's important to point out some perspective.

01:48:51.000 Most people go to the doctor and get prescribed medications they never look into.

01:48:54.000 And that should change.

01:48:55.000 People should actually start looking into this stuff.

01:48:57.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:48:58.000 The information's available on the internet, you should.

01:49:00.000 Yeah, just if that's your attitude now, maintain it across the board for your health and make proper health decisions.

01:49:06.000 I think Mike Cernovich had one of the best responses to this.

01:49:10.000 It's a comic where it's like a big fat woman in a rascal saying like about the vaccine. 1.00

01:49:16.000 I don't know what's in it or whatever.

01:49:17.000 And it's like his point was you're not healthy.

01:49:20.000 There's a lot of people who are like, well, I don't want to risk my health.

01:49:22.000 It's like, dude, you eat greasy cheeseburgers and smoke cigarettes and get drunk.

01:49:25.000 You're not like it's you're not.

01:49:28.000 What is it?

01:49:29.000 You know, you're not worried about your health.

01:49:30.000 Ideological.

01:49:31.000 In instances like that, it must be ideological, right?

01:49:35.000 I mean, there's certainly something different from being like, I know that if I eat a cheeseburger, it'll make me fat if I eat too many.

01:49:41.000 And like, taking a medication.

01:49:43.000 But I just think there's a lot of small things that people should have some perspective on.

01:49:47.000 And more importantly, like, regardless of that, people should, you know, eat better.

01:49:51.000 Exercise.

01:49:53.000 You do what you gotta do.

01:49:54.000 Use that inversion table.

01:49:55.000 You know?

01:49:56.000 Yeah, that one's great.

01:49:59.000 EOD Voodoo says, first super chat, Afghan vet. 0.98

01:50:02.000 A haiku.

01:50:03.000 My children run in the yard.

01:50:05.000 Missing limbs hinder, obstruct, delay, and drain.

01:50:08.000 Was it all worth it?

01:50:09.000 Thank you, TimCast team.

01:50:11.000 That's hardcore.

01:50:11.000 Thank you.

01:50:14.000 Logan Culver says, where's the Kurt Schlichter episode from last week?

01:50:18.000 It is on Rumble.com.

01:50:19.000 If you go to Rumble and look up TimCast IRL.

01:50:21.000 It is also on the website.

01:50:23.000 If you go to the website, it will be there.

01:50:25.000 You know, there you go.

01:50:30.000 Jared Lifeguard says, Ian, what would you think would happen if we mastered fusion energy and magnetic transportation?

01:50:37.000 What would the masses do with that technology?

01:50:39.000 All the Timcast viewers have to find the time to read Atlas Shrugged.

01:50:42.000 You could transport food across long distances really fast by launching it into orbit and then catching it as it comes back down with a magnetic, like, counter-pull.

01:50:54.000 So shipping, it could accelerate shipping.

01:50:56.000 You could also, people could take trains from place to place, and you could have little villages all over the place, as opposed to centralizing it in cities.

01:51:04.000 So that would help the spreading out issue, I think.

01:51:07.000 Connor H says, how many ears does Jean-Luc Picard have?

01:51:10.000 Three.

01:51:11.000 His left ear, his right ear, and the final front ear.

01:51:14.000 Yes, I love that joke.

01:51:16.000 It's like Davy Crockett.

01:51:19.000 All right, all right, all right.

01:51:22.000 Good humor.

01:51:25.000 All right, let's see.

01:51:29.000 Katie says, I'm not going to donate a lot because I don't have a lot of money, but I appreciate the work your whole team does. 0.91

01:51:33.000 I love that you call both sides out, especially useless Republicans.

01:51:36.000 I wish you all well. 0.97

01:51:38.000 That's the problem with the Republican party.

01:51:38.000 Thank you.

01:51:40.000 But it's like useless isn't as bad as destructive.

01:51:42.000 You know what I mean?

01:51:43.000 Right.

01:51:44.000 So it's like, what am I supposed to do?

01:51:46.000 I'm not going to come out and just lie, I guess.

01:51:51.000 All right.

01:51:53.000 Purposeful Porpoise says, Yo Tim, prepare yourself for the Stargate episode, where the general looks straight into the camera and basically admits that the show is a cover for a real Stargate program.

01:52:04.000 Aliens confirmed.

01:52:05.000 What?

01:52:06.000 Oh, come on. 0.87

01:52:07.000 What?

01:52:07.000 I don't know if the joke we had from the jam session was put in the vlog, where we sang a song about Ian's revenge.

01:52:14.000 It wasn't in the vlog.

01:52:15.000 It wasn't?

01:52:15.000 No, it wasn't in the vlog.

01:52:16.000 I wish it was.

01:52:17.000 That was a good one.

01:52:18.000 Yeah, so we jammed a song where I was basically, it's like about Ian killing a guy.

01:52:22.000 Oh no.

01:52:23.000 But the chorus is about how he kills a guy because it's his revenge.

01:52:27.000 But the verse is me saying, it's really true.

01:52:29.000 It's not a joke.

01:52:30.000 You think it is because it's in a YouTube video and we're just messing around, but it's real.

01:52:34.000 Yeah, tell your friends.

01:52:34.000 Tell a friend.

01:52:37.000 I should have said something like, please help me.

01:52:38.000 I'm stuck in a corner.

01:52:41.000 He's going to come after me.

01:52:44.000 Only playing the song is keeping him occupied.

01:52:46.000 Very good.

01:52:48.000 Yeah.

01:52:49.000 But anyway, yeah, about that fourth wall breaking.

01:52:52.000 I must have missed that one.

01:52:53.000 What season is that?

01:52:54.000 In the last season?

01:52:56.000 Oh, it happened.

01:52:56.000 I thought they were saying it's going to happen.

01:52:58.000 No, no, the show ended a long time ago.

01:53:00.000 Interesting.

01:53:00.000 Yeah.

01:53:02.000 Yeah, this is like a Mayan Native American thing, is that Stargates are real.

01:53:05.000 They would have these areas that were carved out that they would stand in, and when they were inside of them, their minds would transcend the universal superstructure, so it seemed, and they would communicate with aliens and see other realities.

01:53:16.000 Chippin'. 1.00

01:53:18.000 Mark S. says, Love Larry Elder.

01:53:20.000 Totally voting for him on this recall.

01:53:22.000 Ian, Larry Elder is the guy that put Dave Rubin on the spot and got Dave to start thinking critically, more classically libertarian.

01:53:28.000 Keep up the good work, you find people.

01:53:30.000 That's right!

01:53:31.000 Dave was talking to Larry Elder and mentioned, I think he was talking about systemic racism.

01:53:35.000 But Larry, like, clearly knew a lot more than Dave on the issue, and then Dave was kind of just, like, respectfully, like, oh, okay.

01:53:42.000 But then Larry's conversation with him kind of opened up Dave to be like, hey man, you gotta, like, read this stuff.

01:53:47.000 And then Dave was like, okay.

01:53:48.000 And Dave, like, he posts the video, he's proud of it, you know, of, like, being the kind of guy who's gonna hear something and then change his mind.

01:53:53.000 Yeah, it was, like, from five years ago?

01:53:55.000 Yeah.

01:53:55.000 Yeah, that's the one.

01:53:56.000 Cool, thanks for letting me know about that.

01:53:58.000 Good clip.

01:53:58.000 Great dude.

01:54:01.000 Yeah, so Dragon Lady is the same thing.

01:54:02.000 Ian watched Dave Rubin's first interview of Larry Elder back in, I think, 2015.

01:54:05.000 Awesome.

01:54:06.000 Rubin calls it one of his most transformational moments.

01:54:09.000 Wow.

01:54:10.000 Very cool.

01:54:11.000 I could see it.

01:54:11.000 Nong Mar says, is Ian Timcast Castle's shaman?

01:54:16.000 I guess technically, by default.

01:54:16.000 Uh, yes.

01:54:18.000 Easily.

01:54:19.000 Yeah.

01:54:19.000 I'm down to hire more shaman, though, if you want.

01:54:24.000 Jesus Sanchez says, I don't know how far you are in Stargate.

01:54:27.000 You should watch season four, episode 16.

01:54:29.000 I will check it out.

01:54:30.000 I've, uh, so there's like three episodes that come on per day.

01:54:34.000 So I'm in like season nine or something right now, but I've skipped half the episodes in between because I certainly can't watch three episodes a day.

01:54:41.000 So it's like, you know, it's hard to keep track.

01:54:44.000 You just skip through and look for ones you like the premise of?

01:54:47.000 No, no, no.

01:54:47.000 Because it, between like four and six, there's like, you know, four or five and six, they play an episode of Stargate.

01:54:53.000 And I can't watch every episode all the time, so I'll see like one of the three.

01:54:57.000 And then, you know, so now they're already at like the end of the show or whatever. 0.80

01:55:00.000 That sucks. 0.96

01:55:02.000 Amazing show though. 0.99

01:55:03.000 Really, really good show.

01:55:04.000 I'll have to look for the one where they, uh, he looks at the camera.

01:55:09.000 Alright, let's see what we got here.

01:55:11.000 Elizabeth Carmella Comedian says, Hey Tim and gang, the other weeks you shouted out my son, Orion.

01:55:16.000 Blew his mind, thank you.

01:55:17.000 We live in Northern Cali, Solano County specifically.

01:55:20.000 Don't believe what you see on the news.

01:55:21.000 We are voting Newsom out.

01:55:22.000 I'm voting in person.

01:55:24.000 All right.

01:55:25.000 Perfect.

01:55:25.000 There you go.

01:55:26.000 Let's see it.

01:55:26.000 Nice.

01:55:27.000 I'm feeling good.

01:55:28.000 Sketchum says, P.A.

01:55:29.000 Trucker here.

01:55:30.000 I haven't had work the past couple of days due to no workers at warehouses to load or unload trailers.

01:55:35.000 Oh, man, it's coming.

01:55:37.000 It's getting crazy.

01:55:38.000 It's not good.

01:55:40.000 Matt Ram says, Do we trust the same people that approved the medication that started the opioid epidemic?

01:55:46.000 No, Luke, I puke.

01:55:47.000 I bought nine chickens for our roosters.

01:55:48.000 Whoa, that's too many roosters. 0.98

01:55:51.000 Luke's coming back soon.

01:55:53.000 You know, he's coming back soon.

01:55:55.000 As for trusting people, the issue with the opioid epidemic was the was the not the FDA.

01:56:02.000 It was the pharmaceutical companies and the doctors just like dishing them out.

01:56:05.000 And they were like encouraged to prescribe, you know, medication, weren't they?

01:56:09.000 Something like that.

01:56:10.000 I don't know the full story.

01:56:10.000 It was like a big, a big investigative piece on it.

01:56:14.000 Look, I don't I'm not not saying I'm a big fan of the FDA and like revolving door policies of like the head of this pharmaceutical company gets a job in the government or anything like that.

01:56:22.000 But I think the opioid one is, like, telling people, like, to take a medication that turned out to be extremely addictive and problematic.

01:56:30.000 Yeah.

01:56:31.000 They didn't frame them as addictive.

01:56:32.000 That was a big part of the problem.

01:56:34.000 They sold them to kids, like, little kids, too.

01:56:36.000 Young kids.

01:56:36.000 Oxycodone, Oxycontin.

01:56:38.000 And then kids were coming down with hardcore addictions.

01:56:40.000 Then they'd look for the next biggest thing.

01:56:41.000 Then all of a sudden, fentanyl gets developed.

01:56:43.000 Oh, man.

01:56:44.000 Yeah.

01:56:45.000 Probably as a result or... Fentanyl's from China.

01:56:48.000 Jeez, dude.

01:56:49.000 Yeah.

01:56:50.000 That's what's up.

01:56:52.000 Kevin Pilgrim says, Chris says he is bad at speaking.

01:56:55.000 I absolutely love him as an in-house guest.

01:56:57.000 Great job, TimFam!

01:56:59.000 Thank you very much for that.

01:57:00.000 Thank you.

01:57:00.000 That's awesome.

01:57:02.000 OMG Puppy says, you can buy Lafite Absinthe.

01:57:05.000 It's legal now.

01:57:06.000 It definitely has a mild cannabis-like high in addition to the alcohol.

01:57:09.000 I served some at a party, and there were some strange revelations, like a truth serum.

01:57:13.000 Oh, snap. 0.99

01:57:14.000 Yes.

01:57:14.000 Interesting.

01:57:15.000 That was my experience with it, too, with the Wyrmwood.

01:57:17.000 Wow.

01:57:18.000 Really?

01:57:18.000 It's mild psychoactive, so you get the THC kind of wavy understanding, along with the alcoholic subdual.

01:57:26.000 Jeez.

01:57:27.000 Jason Lindholm says, watched your Cast Castle video of you all getting musical equipment and gear.

01:57:31.000 Jealous.

01:57:32.000 I want to jam with you and everyone.

01:57:34.000 There's a bunch of stuff with the music.

01:57:35.000 It's, um... We license music for some of the stuff we do.

01:57:39.000 There, uh, we want to make our own.

01:57:41.000 We want to just generally produce music.

01:57:43.000 I've got a bunch of songs I need to produce.

01:57:45.000 But we're thinking, like, in-house for all of the sh- We've got, what, like, three new podcasts on the horizon.

01:57:50.000 And we're going to make our own music so that we don't have to worry about licensing or rights or copyright strikes or anything like that.

01:57:55.000 And we want to have live shows, so we just need the equipment and the production.

01:57:59.000 The speaker systems we got are so we can do the live shows outside.

01:58:02.000 And then we got one so we can do live shows in the basement.

01:58:04.000 It's going to be a lot of fun.

01:58:05.000 I think Andreas got a song featured in the vlog yesterday.

01:58:08.000 I think that was one of his.

01:58:10.000 I couldn't tell you.

01:58:10.000 That sounds like his style.

01:58:11.000 There you go.

01:58:12.000 I think so.

01:58:13.000 Crazy digital Helena art.

01:58:14.000 Yeah.

01:58:15.000 Helena.

01:58:16.000 Oh, see, here we go.

01:58:17.000 Michael Adkin says Fast and Furious should team up with Transformers.

01:58:20.000 Yes!

01:58:21.000 There we go.

01:58:22.000 Those guys would be able to stay away.

01:58:26.000 All right.

01:58:28.000 Tate Stories says, Hey Tim and crew, 20 year old guy and wanted to make a change and joined the Mises Caucus of Utah.

01:58:33.000 Also, you're wrong.

01:58:34.000 The Jazzmaster is the best guitar.

01:58:36.000 Also, if you're in the need of another animator, I would love to be of use.

01:58:39.000 Eventually.

01:58:39.000 Yes.

01:58:40.000 More animators.

01:58:41.000 I tried the Jazzmaster.

01:58:43.000 It was good.

01:58:44.000 So they have the Acoustasonics.

01:58:45.000 They're like, I don't know how to describe it.

01:58:48.000 They're not just acoustics.

01:58:49.000 They are, but they're more like electrics.

01:58:51.000 I don't know.

01:58:52.000 They're amazing.

01:58:53.000 Um, they all sounded great.

01:58:54.000 They were all really, really amazing.

01:58:58.000 So I would say the Telecaster I thought sounded the best, then the Jazzmaster, and then the Stratocaster.

01:59:06.000 It's a close tie, though.

01:59:08.000 I think the issue with the Jazzmaster was that it did sound really, really good, but I just am impartial to the Telecaster, I guess.

01:59:16.000 So maybe that is true to say, the Jazzmaster is better.

01:59:20.000 I think it's just personal preference at that point.

01:59:22.000 But I was really impressed with the Jazzmaster, to be completely honest.

01:59:24.000 I was like, wow.

01:59:27.000 Sean Anderson says Fast and Furious 1 is point break with cars, and I love it.

01:59:31.000 That's right.

01:59:32.000 Point break.

01:59:33.000 Great movie.

01:59:34.000 Aiden says, will you guys have Charles Hiskinson on as a guest?

01:59:38.000 Cardano has exploded recently.

01:59:40.000 Yeah, we've been meaning to do that.

01:59:42.000 Hoskinson, yeah.

01:59:42.000 Hoskinson.

01:59:43.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:59:46.000 Cardano has a bright future.

01:59:48.000 I don't know, I still have not been reading a lot about it in the last couple years.

01:59:51.000 I'm optimistic.

01:59:52.000 Yeah.

01:59:52.000 I have a decent amount of Cardano ADA tokens.

01:59:55.000 Hoskins is a visionary.

01:59:56.000 I mean, he was a part of Ethereum.

01:59:58.000 So it's just, I look at a lot of the altcoins as like stock.

02:00:02.000 You know, it's not necessarily, there's like utility tokens and stuff, but Bitcoin is decentralized crypto.

02:00:06.000 Everything else is kind of, well Monero and stuff, I guess.

02:00:09.000 But a lot of these altcoins are like stock.

02:00:12.000 Mr. Laxative says, what's the ETA in the Timcast app?

02:00:14.000 Oh man, probably months, I have no idea.

02:00:17.000 Uh, we're working on it, you know, um, so that people can use, listen to the episodes and everything.

02:00:22.000 We needed to start, we, man, so, we need to start uploading audio versions of the Members Only stuff so people don't have to use a lot of bandwidth and, you know, make it easier.

02:00:31.000 I will say though, the Brave browser, Has the ability to play a video and then, uh, sleep your phone, turn the screen off, and still listen.

02:00:41.000 So apparently that people were saying that's a solution if you want to listen to the episodes without, you know, your phone being on the whole time.

02:00:46.000 Uh, let's see.

02:00:48.000 James Oldages says, please look into Right to Repair and discuss it with Louis Rossman.

02:00:53.000 It's an issue we can all get behind.

02:00:54.000 Another standing invite!

02:00:56.000 Absolutely.

02:00:56.000 He needs to follow up with me.

02:00:57.000 I bet that's a bigger deal than I realize Right to Repair.

02:01:00.000 Mm-hmm.

02:01:02.000 I wanna talk to Louise.

02:01:03.000 Yeah?

02:01:03.000 Louie.

02:01:04.000 Yeah.

02:01:06.000 Alright, let's see, we'll do a couple more here.

02:01:09.000 Jumping down.

02:01:11.000 Oh, I see somebody asking us if we've heard of Yuri Bezmenov.

02:01:13.000 We have.

02:01:13.000 Oh yes, we have.

02:01:14.000 Yuri Bezmenov.

02:01:16.000 Russian ex-KGB.

02:01:19.000 It's kind of a joke.

02:01:21.000 People ask that a lot.

02:01:22.000 Do you know who he is?

02:01:23.000 No, I don't.

02:01:24.000 He worked with the KGB and came out in the 90s and told America, like, the communist motive is a long 80-year plan, 20-year plan where they will go in and seed your culture and transform the culture from Sorta says Tim, Americans can make whatever medical choices they want.

02:01:47.000 It's called against medical advice.

02:01:49.000 There are federal laws protecting it.

02:01:51.000 No matter how you choose to live, you are free to choose how you live.

02:01:54.000 I'm 100% for people making their life choices.

02:01:57.000 I wouldn't want to make a medical decision for anybody.

02:01:59.000 I'll have to look up the AMA rules and that's why I'm like bro if I was in a zombie apocalypse and people were like

02:02:04.000 I'm fine with it. I'll back I'll leave That's the thing to like remember the smoking you could

02:02:08.000 smoke in bars. They banned it all I Don't smoke. I hate smoke. I hate being around people who

02:02:14.000 smoke and I was against banning smoking in bars and restaurants

02:02:18.000 So in Chicago when they were doing it, I was young but I was taught I would always talk to people and I'm like why

02:02:23.000 it If you don't like smoke, don't go to the bar.

02:02:27.000 And I had friends be like, yeah, but that's BS because I'm like, I can never go to the bar because people always smoke.

02:02:31.000 And I'm like, yeah, that's too bad for you, I guess.

02:02:34.000 If the bar is okay with it, don't go there, and that's too bad for you.

02:02:38.000 Oh, we talked about this before.

02:02:39.000 The employees, it screws the employees, too.

02:02:42.000 Quit!

02:02:43.000 It's not that easy, though. 1.00

02:02:44.000 Just because one idiot wants to smoke a cigarette in the back of a room and destroy the entire restaurant's atmosphere. 1.00

02:02:48.000 You mean because your boss says it's okay and they're allowed to do it, and you're like, I'll keep working here. 1.00

02:02:53.000 Yeah, the boss is like an unhealthy smoker and doesn't care, but all the employees are getting sick because people are smoking in the restaurant.

02:03:00.000 There's no obligation to the employees or the employer between each other.

02:03:03.000 It's a contractual... It's an agreement.

02:03:05.000 Well, the manager... I mean, you might be right that it's more of an owner...

02:03:08.000 If you are like, I would like to work at this bar, but oh no, people are smoking, maybe you shouldn't work there.

02:03:14.000 To be like, well, I'm going to unilaterally decide no one's allowed to smoke anymore.

02:03:17.000 Like, okay, dude, you can just leave.

02:03:19.000 People are enjoying the place.

02:03:20.000 They used to smoke on airplanes.

02:03:22.000 I was watching old images.

02:03:24.000 So gross.

02:03:25.000 You can't leave an airplane and you don't know that people are going to be smoking when you go on the airplane.

02:03:28.000 You're trying to eat when you're at a restaurant and it's like, oh, I can't, I can't taste my food because I smell smoke.

02:03:33.000 It's just not a... I flew on a plane to Morocco that had ashtrays on it.

02:03:38.000 Were they smoking?

02:03:39.000 No, no, no.

02:03:40.000 You weren't allowed to smoke.

02:03:41.000 But the plane was so old, they were ashtrays.

02:03:44.000 Airplanes are different, okay?

02:03:47.000 But I do recognize that it's not a one-for-one issue where it's just like either you allow businesses to allow smoking or you don't.

02:03:54.000 Bars are different. 0.99

02:03:55.000 You can walk into a bar and walk right out.

02:03:58.000 You go onto a plane and you're stuck on that plane for a long time.

02:04:01.000 So I can certainly respect them being like, hey, we don't want people smoking on planes anymore.

02:04:04.000 Plus the just general risks of being in the air and the smoke and stuff like that.

02:04:08.000 Yeah, that'd be brutal.

02:04:09.000 Yeah.

02:04:10.000 I wonder if they've done studies on if bars, if businesses are more or less profitable since they've banned indoor smoking.

02:04:17.000 Nationwide, right?

02:04:18.000 Yeah.

02:04:19.000 All right, let's read one more here.

02:04:20.000 We got Eddie.

02:04:21.000 He says, Hey Tim, my super chat closed for some reason, so I'll donate again.

02:04:24.000 The Afghan script reminds me of how the U.S. 1.00

02:04:27.000 messed up in Allende, Mexico, and Los Zetas came and kill many. 0.67

02:04:32.000 Also would love to see you guys talk China with Lawye86 and Serpentsa.

02:04:36.000 Also standing invites?

02:05:49.000 I did sing a little bit.

02:05:50.000 A lot of times Tim and I will be rehearsing and then we get footage of it and it's cool, like behind the scenes, chilling.

02:05:55.000 But you also got to know, like, if I'm rehearsing music, it's basically like you're going to smell me while I'm working out.

02:06:01.000 It's the grossest sound.

02:06:03.000 I'm working it out.

02:06:04.000 You know, that's not the final product, but you can watch if you want and enjoy.

02:06:08.000 Yeah, we're gonna be recording a new song soon.

02:06:10.000 It is so good.

02:06:11.000 Dude, and Carter Banks is excited about it.

02:06:14.000 Yeah, our new producer.

02:06:16.000 I got a bunch of songs and people are always like, oh, that's the one.

02:06:19.000 That was great that he grabbed that other one.

02:06:21.000 Yeah.

02:06:22.000 Yeah, this one's I never recorded.

02:06:23.000 It was just one that Tim and I had knocked around harmonies on for a while, but I hadn't thought to put it in the top three that we would do first.

02:06:28.000 But Carter was like, that's the one.

02:06:30.000 We got a producer.

02:06:31.000 All right.

02:06:32.000 Nice.

02:06:32.000 Exciting times over here at TimCast and TimCast.com.

02:06:35.000 It's really fun to see all this stuff come together and I'm really hoping that Chris will be a repeat offender on our show here as he now has no choice because he works with us.
