Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - MSM FINALLY Confirms Hunter Biden Laptop Story Proving Media LIED w-Daniel Turner

00:00:00.000 the mainstream media.

00:00:12.000 Politico finally says the Hunter Biden laptop story is confirmed.

00:00:18.000 A reporter's publishing a book where they actually corroborated emails with witnesses that the deals between the Bidens in China and Ukraine and 10% held by H for the big guy.

00:00:30.000 Yeah, apparently it's all real.

00:00:32.000 And you know what?

00:00:33.000 It doesn't feel like news because we know.

00:00:36.000 But at least now we're finally getting acknowledgement.

00:00:38.000 And that's pretty big considering the ineptitude of the Biden administration and the chaos that we're witnessing.

00:00:44.000 The Democratic agenda is on the verge of failing.

00:00:47.000 Republicans are threatening to hold up the budget bill.

00:00:49.000 The Squad is getting the Iron Dome budgeting pulled from Israel.

00:00:52.000 Now Israel's panicking.

00:00:53.000 The border's in shambles.

00:00:54.000 Biden has been unable to deal with anything.

00:00:57.000 And now the media's coming out like, oh, that Hunter Biden stuff?

00:00:59.000 It's real.

00:01:00.000 I gotta wonder, at what point do they 25th Amendment Joe Biden?

00:01:03.000 So we've got that to talk about.

00:01:05.000 We've got a bunch of other stories to talk about.

00:01:06.000 A lot of weird stories.

00:01:08.000 You know, there's that whipping scandal with the horses in Texas, and it's just, like, not true.

00:01:12.000 We've got weird stories about smugglers smuggling in KFC, I think it was, to Auckland.

00:01:17.000 Apparently it's a South Park episode.

00:01:20.000 Too much of South Park has come true, you guys.

00:01:23.000 So we're hanging out with a couple.

00:01:24.000 We've got Daniel Turner hanging out.

00:01:25.000 Thank you.

00:01:26.000 Always good to be back.

00:01:27.000 You want to introduce yourself?

00:01:28.000 Yeah, Daniel Turner, Power of the Future, Daniel Turner PTF on Twitter.

00:01:32.000 And it is always fun to be here with you fine folks.

00:01:35.000 So thanks for the invite.

00:01:36.000 Absolutely.

00:01:37.000 And we got Chris Carr hanging out.

00:01:38.000 Yes sir, that's right.

00:01:38.000 Thanks for having me.

00:01:39.000 Executive editor of the awesome Rockstar Journalist at TimCast.com.

00:01:43.000 Happy to be back.

00:01:44.000 It's always a pleasure.

00:01:44.000 Absolutely.

00:01:45.000 And to see you again as well, Daniel.

00:01:46.000 Good to see you, the nicest guy in the history of mankind.

00:01:49.000 I met you last time and I was like, I feel like I made a new best friend.

00:01:52.000 I felt the same way.

00:01:53.000 That's what I went home and told my wife.

00:01:54.000 I was just like, Daniel and us, we're going to hang out.

00:01:56.000 It's a good time.

00:01:57.000 Chris has also been making drinks.

00:01:57.000 Good time.

00:01:59.000 I don't know if everyone knows yet, but he's quite a mixologist over there.

00:02:03.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:02:03.000 We got a nice little menu put together.

00:02:05.000 Yeah, people are loving it.

00:02:06.000 Hi, I'm Ian Crossan, by the way.

00:02:09.000 You made, like, the Republican?

00:02:10.000 We got the Republican.

00:02:11.000 Real quick, what is the Republican?

00:02:13.000 The Republican is essentially just, I think it's like a Cosmo.

00:02:17.000 It's like an elevated Cosmo, basically.

00:02:19.000 But it's red.

00:02:20.000 And what's the Democrat?

00:02:21.000 The Democrat is a shot of Malort. 1.00

00:02:24.000 Room temperature.

00:02:24.000 For those that don't know what Malort is, it's a Chicago novelty liqueur that apparently people in Chicago, I've never had it, but people in Chicago always tell people not from Chicago to try it because it's kind of a prank on them.

00:02:38.000 And the joke is that it's grown from the grass on the side of Interstate 55.

00:02:42.000 I'm not trying to disparage Malort.

00:02:43.000 We bought some.

00:02:44.000 We love it.

00:02:44.000 We're fans.

00:02:45.000 And we have made a drink of a room temperature shot of Malort.

00:02:50.000 Did you spin up the independent yet?

00:02:52.000 Uh, not yet.

00:02:52.000 Not yet.

00:02:53.000 Oh, no.

00:02:54.000 Well, what we do have is a centrist, which is a, it's a, it's a martini.

00:02:58.000 That's like half vodka, half gin, just in case you can't decide.

00:03:02.000 And we're, and we're focusing on mocktails, healthy ones, healthy drinks.

00:03:05.000 We've got, we got one in the bank called the sweetheart. 0.99

00:03:09.000 Oh, it's delicious.

00:03:10.000 It's really good.

00:03:11.000 And it's made with Biotrust.

00:03:12.000 We're not promoting it, but they have this one thing that we made.

00:03:15.000 It's lemon juice.

00:03:18.000 It's this Biotrust Reds mix. 0.90

00:03:19.000 It's so good.

00:03:20.000 It's like strawberry and beets, I think, are in there.

00:03:22.000 It's like drinking tea.

00:03:24.000 We are not promoting them right now.

00:03:24.000 It's delicious.

00:03:25.000 We will promote them, I think, in a few days or whatever, but we're just pointing out we made a really awesome drink.

00:03:30.000 So yeah, we got Lydia. 0.98

00:03:32.000 I have really big news for everyone.

00:03:33.000 I realized tonight when I checked my Twitter and I checked Sour Patch Kids Twitter that I have surpassed Sour Patch Kids in followers.

00:03:40.000 So this is my goal in life.

00:03:42.000 I've reached it.

00:03:43.000 I don't know what to do now.

00:03:43.000 I've peaked.

00:03:44.000 I got nothing.

00:03:45.000 My next goal is a million, I guess.

00:03:46.000 That's what Ian said.

00:03:48.000 Someone already super chatted us.

00:03:49.000 Malort is actually amazing.

00:03:51.000 OMG.

00:03:52.000 How dare you?

00:03:53.000 I don't know.

00:03:54.000 I haven't tried it.

00:03:55.000 They're lying.

00:03:56.000 They're lying.

00:03:57.000 So when you look it up on Google, it actually says it's a bitter astringent novelty drink.

00:04:02.000 And I'm like, I don't drink alcohol.

00:04:05.000 That's gross.

00:04:06.000 That's why we have the fancy healthy drinks.

00:04:07.000 But my friends, let's get into this news.

00:04:08.000 Before we get started, head over to TimCast.com.

00:04:36.000 Yep.

00:04:37.000 Because I don't know if you saw that episode last night, but I have no ability whatsoever to control a conversation when Alex Jones is here, but I asked Phil Labonte from All That Remains, like, Phil, I'm gonna need someone who's strong and capable to control- who can control a conversation, who can take charge in a room, and he's like, you got it.

00:04:51.000 And then, when Alex went off, Phil starts laughing, YES!

00:05:00.000 the show with your friends. Let's talk about the big political news that, in my opinion,

00:05:06.000 let me just, let me just, we'll start over. Here it is. Fox News. Politico confirmation

00:05:09.000 of Hunter Biden laptop materials prompts criticism of earlier suppression of story. Twitter blocked

00:05:15.000 sharing of New York Post story on laptop last year. So the New York Post told the truth.

00:05:19.000 Hunter Biden is, he's a crackhead, correct? He's a crackhead. 0.99

00:05:22.000 There's, there's photos and videos of him with like, women of the night. 0.96

00:05:26.000 Ill repute, yes.

00:05:27.000 Smoking bongs. 0.98

00:05:30.000 I don't know if ill repute is fair and acceptable to our libertarian audience who think, you know, sex work is acceptable.

00:05:36.000 The oldest occupation on earth.

00:05:37.000 That's why I say women of the night.

00:05:39.000 That's not offensive, is it?

00:05:40.000 Ladies of the night.

00:05:41.000 I'm trying to be libertarian, although, you know, personally, not a fan, but you gotta be careful because I don't know.

00:05:47.000 That one's actually tough.

00:05:48.000 We should have a conversation about that maybe when we're not doing family-friendly stuff.

00:05:50.000 We could even have a prostitute on someday to give their personal experience. 0.73

00:05:54.000 A woman of the night. 1.00

00:05:55.000 Anyway, Hunter Biden is a mess. 0.86

00:05:58.000 But I don't care.

00:06:00.000 You know what I mean?

00:06:01.000 Sure, he's a guy.

00:06:02.000 He does a thing.

00:06:02.000 A lot of people have problems.

00:06:04.000 I'm not here to revel in a man's problems. 0.70

00:06:05.000 The problem I have is it's not criticism of an earlier suppression of the story.

00:06:09.000 It's criticism of Democratic operatives working in media, working at big tech, suppressing news that would have hurt Joe Biden in the election to a great degree, not because Hunter Biden does drugs, but because the emails showed that 10% will be held by H for the big guy, that there were nefarious deals going on.

00:06:33.000 And we don't want a president going into office who has nefarious deals.

00:06:36.000 Now, back when Trump was running, they're like, Donald Trump has a secret server communicating with Russia.

00:06:41.000 Lies. 0.99

00:06:42.000 So when their criticism was, we don't want a president entering office who has these ties to foreign interests and is beholden to them and these debts, I'm like, all right, you know, I can accept that to a certain degree.

00:06:51.000 Now, it's one thing if you're a businessman like Trump and you have buildings with mortgages all over the world.

00:06:56.000 That's like saying we don't want someone who runs international business to be president for the sake that they, just because they run international business.

00:07:02.000 Now, to that extent, I will say true in some degree for Joe Biden, But when Joe Biden flies to Ukraine and says, fire the prosecutor, or you're not getting your billion dollar in loans, Joe Biden has no right to leverage the United States providing aid to Ukraine in a conflict with Russia, or potentially there's a conflict between Russia and Ukraine, threatening them, you know, we're going to pull out unless you fire this prosecutor.

00:07:27.000 And as Matt Taibbi reported, the prosecutor was investigating BRISMA, where his son was on the board.

00:07:31.000 That is dramatically different from Trump having debt in buildings.

00:07:34.000 So this story gets suppressed.

00:07:35.000 What do we get?

00:07:36.000 I think, you know, you look at the Rasmussen study.

00:07:38.000 Rasmussen did a study found, I think it was like, what, 7% to 10% of people?

00:07:42.000 Yeah, 9%?

00:07:43.000 When asked, if you knew about the Hunter Biden stuff, would you have voted for Biden?

00:07:46.000 No.

00:07:47.000 So that would have been dramatically different.

00:07:49.000 Now, here we are, what's been happening?

00:07:50.000 Economy, inflation's through the roof, border crisis, Afghanistan crisis, domestic agenda's failing, the squad members are, I mean, I'm already at five, squad members are ripping the Democratic Party to shreds, which they've been doing for some time, but now they're pulling funding for the Iron Dome.

00:08:04.000 Wow, is the Biden administration completely Unfit.

00:08:07.000 Now here's my favorite part.

00:08:08.000 There was a poll back in August.

00:08:10.000 Most Americans think Joe Biden is unfit to be president.

00:08:13.000 Do you know what the poll today is?

00:08:14.000 48%.

00:08:14.000 is most the 48%. So it's not the majority because it's 48% think he's not even mentally

00:08:21.000 stable. Wow. This is where we are. When the meat.

00:08:25.000 When the media manipulates and lies on news we knew to be true, that we had already confirmed, that was independently confirmed by people looking at the emails, corroborating it, and they suppress this, this is why you end up with a cult that believes insane things, like the economy is good, and regular people of different political persuasions, like everyone here probably has, you know, different political worldviews, but we can recognize the truth when we see it.

00:08:46.000 I think what annoys me the most about this story is the media always is pulling their

00:08:51.000 weight in a certain favor, right?

00:08:53.000 I mean, we have innumerable examples of that in the Trump administration and going back

00:08:56.000 to as long as I've been following politics.

00:08:59.000 What bothers me the most about this particular episode is I cannot find, and I could be wrong,

00:09:04.000 but I can't find in my memory hole one other time that Twitter actually suspended technologically

00:09:11.000 the ability to share the story.

00:09:12.000 They have labeled things as inaccurate.

00:09:14.000 Facebook always puts their stamps on it.

00:09:16.000 But the fact that if you wanted to retweet the story you were not allowed to is a whole new level of crackdown that we never saw before.

00:09:25.000 But you couldn't even send it in a private message, right?

00:09:27.000 Yes.

00:09:27.000 Didn't they crack down on that too?

00:09:28.000 You could even privately say that to somebody.

00:09:30.000 That is unbelievable.

00:09:31.000 They suspended one of the oldest newspapers in this country.

00:09:35.000 Alexander Hamilton, 1799.

00:09:37.000 And we all knew very early on the story was true because of independent corroboration.

00:09:42.000 Statements from people like Tony Bobulinski who came out and said, yes, I'm on those email chains.

00:09:46.000 Yes, those emails are real.

00:09:47.000 And we're like, OK, so I'm looking at this like it's not news.

00:09:49.000 We knew it was real.

00:09:50.000 What's the revelation?

00:09:51.000 But they suspended a newspaper.

00:09:54.000 And the crazy thing is it's taken It's it's how many months it's been almost a year and now

00:09:59.000 they're like Oh New York Post or something truth the whole time

00:10:01.000 That's where you have to go to Twitter the CEO and and they bring him before Congress all the time and and they never

00:10:07.000 ask Him hard questions. They never really ask the questions

00:10:10.000 they should but the question should be here are an example of ten other stories that

00:10:14.000 you could consider as Inflammatory as shocking as controversial you never suspect

00:10:18.000 that were also false You never suspended any of them.

00:10:21.000 So Twitter walk me through I get it private platform.

00:10:24.000 They can do whatever they want is the argument walk me through the criteria that for this story.

00:10:30.000 Someone made the decision to say this is why we have to suspend it as opposed to and you've dealt with this in your own personal life.

00:10:36.000 One person says all these things.

00:10:37.000 They're totally fine.

00:10:38.000 You say this and it's like suspended.

00:10:40.000 Well, what was the criteria and it seems to be well, I just don't like that person.

00:10:45.000 It feels kind of like being in a band that was a one-hit wonder, and being like, you know, I had this big song back in the 80s, because a few years ago I went on the Joe Rogan podcast, and I was talking to Jack Dorsey, and it's like, people bring this up all the time, so that's kind of the point I'm making, but I showed them a tweet from Antifa, where they were like, everyone go to this place at this time to commit violence.

00:11:06.000 And I was like, how has this tweet been up for months?

00:11:08.000 And the replies to it are getting banned.

00:11:10.000 So clearly someone at Twitter sees this, bans replies, but lets that one stay.

00:11:14.000 I'm like, are you guys feds?

00:11:16.000 Cause the only reason I can understand that you would keep that up is it's bait from the feds.

00:11:21.000 And they're like, we, we didn't know about it.

00:11:23.000 Oh geez.

00:11:24.000 Oh no.

00:11:25.000 I'm like, nah, okay, look.

00:11:28.000 I'm done playing these games.

00:11:30.000 Some Trump supporter guy says, hashtag Learn to Code.

00:11:33.000 It was the editor-in-chief of the Daily Caller, I think.

00:11:33.000 You know what it was?

00:11:35.000 Jeffrey Ingersoll.

00:11:37.000 He didn't tweet at anybody.

00:11:38.000 He tweeted the hashtag.

00:11:40.000 He tweeted about Learn to Code, and they suspended him.

00:11:43.000 I got my details right, right?

00:11:44.000 Absolutely.

00:11:45.000 Yeah, I remember that.

00:11:45.000 It was hysterical.

00:11:46.000 But you can say it about coal miners.

00:11:48.000 I jumped on that because that's the response that they say all the time about people in the energy industry.

00:11:53.000 Well, you've got to learn to code.

00:11:55.000 It has been used as a learner skill that you need in the 21st century.

00:11:59.000 But you can't say that to, what was it, Gawker?

00:12:02.000 Journalists?

00:12:03.000 Was it when Gawker was fired?

00:12:05.000 No, Gawker was one of those companies.

00:12:06.000 It was one of those publications that went down and that was pretty funny on his part.

00:12:11.000 I hear you on the Congress stuff, but I really don't think there's anything you can do bringing these people before Congress.

00:12:17.000 I think they are duplicitous. 0.98

00:12:19.000 I think they are liars. 0.86

00:12:20.000 I think they keep calling in Jack Dorsey, who's a spokesperson figurehead who doesn't actually do anything with the company.

00:12:25.000 Because Jack tweeted the anatomy of the state by Rothbard, and everyone was like, whoa.

00:12:30.000 Because he clearly is not It is a weird thing from a tweet, considering he provides cover for the machine.

00:12:36.000 But I don't think he's actually running the show.

00:12:38.000 They keep bringing these people before Congress and saying, you know, you did this!

00:12:41.000 And they're like, oh, I'll get back to you?

00:12:42.000 Oh, I don't know.

00:12:44.000 Nothing happens.

00:12:44.000 Nothing changes.

00:12:46.000 I think this country is imploded already.

00:12:49.000 I've mentioned it on my other show.

00:12:49.000 I mentioned it the day before.

00:12:51.000 And you take a look at the fact that they've brought... How many times have they been pulled before Congress over this stuff?

00:12:56.000 Five?

00:12:56.000 I don't know.

00:12:58.000 There's no way there's going to be any meaningful legislation to deal with the suppression of our speech on these platforms.

00:13:05.000 And the left likes to say, but my private platform, and I'm like, it's an inane argument, okay?

00:13:10.000 They have conquered the commons, plus we're locked down in a lot of places, people can't go out, so this is how we're communicating.

00:13:16.000 At a certain point, when they control too much, we have antitrust laws, or we come in and we regulate, we do these things, we always do it, we normally do it, because we don't want companies usurping the power of the citizenry and the people, and suppressing the rights of the working class.

00:13:29.000 None of that's gonna happen, because there's no way that Republicans and Democrats will agree. 0.98

00:13:33.000 Even when we had Republicans in 2016-18, they were too stupid to realize what was happening, and now they're all getting banned, and they're all... But those were mostly, like, neocons, you know, Paul Ryan, stuff like that. 0.98

00:13:42.000 Now what we're seeing is, while the Republicans can't get anything done, Democrats are just cheating.

00:13:46.000 They're trying to put immigration reform in a spending bill.

00:13:50.000 Joe Biden is just ruling by decree, rubber stamping legislation as executive order, and then it just happens.

00:13:56.000 So all I see is, I was reading about decline of civilizations before, and there's a period at which, it's been a while but I can't get into specifics, where you'll start to see autocratic rule because It becomes so dysfunctional that the only way to actually move forward is for a sovereign to decree and say, we have to do this now, otherwise we're doing nothing.

00:14:19.000 So they force things to happen.

00:14:20.000 And that just exacerbates the destabilization.

00:14:24.000 There are two components to this story.

00:14:26.000 There's the censorship, which is extremely frustrating.

00:14:30.000 Suppression of free speech.

00:14:33.000 What it did to the election, etc.

00:14:34.000 But then there's the actual story itself, which is, how corrupt is this family?

00:14:39.000 I mean, obviously they've got an awful lot of skeletons in their closet.

00:14:43.000 And when you've got a sitting vice president who negotiated trade deals and planned for his future, and every president and vice president plans for their future, right?

00:14:52.000 I mean, they all know it's not going to last forever.

00:14:54.000 But he was using, clearly, the power of government to build himself a very profitable, very lucrative—heck, you saw it in his tax returns, right?

00:15:03.000 His last year as vice president, his net wealth was $407,000 that year, and then the year after it was $17-point-something million.

00:15:10.000 And you're like, wow, that's a really great profit margin.

00:15:13.000 We're very good gear.

00:15:14.000 But there's that level of corruption that you say, well, what were the trade deals that you were negotiating?

00:15:18.000 And again, the 10% for the big guy.

00:15:20.000 And they seem to be with pretty awful people, right?

00:15:24.000 It's with China. 0.96

00:15:25.000 It's with Ukraine. 0.94

00:15:27.000 And I hate to rag on Hunter Biden. 0.99

00:15:30.000 Well, actually, I don't, because he's a deplorable, vile human being. 1.00

00:15:36.000 brother dies of cancer and within the year you were sleeping with his wife you're leaving your own wife and your children to sleep with your dead brother's wife and then while you're sleeping with your former sister-in-law making your cousins now stepchildren you're sleeping with her sister simultaneously and in top of the sister you impregnate a stripper in alabama You are a scumbag. 1.00

00:16:04.000 I'm sorry. 1.00

00:16:05.000 There's no other way around that.

00:16:06.000 And I'm sorry.

00:16:08.000 Joe Biden must hate that he looks at Hunter because it reminds him the good son died. 0.99

00:16:12.000 And that's got to eat at him because you are truly a vile, vile human being. 0.97

00:16:17.000 To do that to your kids. 0.98

00:16:18.000 Imagine his poor kids.

00:16:20.000 And they show the kids all the time.

00:16:21.000 The grandkids.

00:16:21.000 Joe Biden's grandkids.

00:16:23.000 My dad was dead and this dirtbag is sleeping with my... What a disgusting family. 1.00

00:16:28.000 They're like the Kennedys without the money or the class. 1.00

00:16:30.000 Wow.

00:16:31.000 Well, two things.

00:16:33.000 First of all, you did get me a little worked up talking about the lurid details of his love life.

00:16:36.000 That was pretty steamy.

00:16:38.000 Second of all, I would like to defend him because this man is an artist.

00:16:42.000 Okay?

00:16:43.000 This man is an artist.

00:16:44.000 And where would we be if it weren't for vile, deplorable human beings who create quality art? 0.98

00:16:48.000 I mean, it's fetching 75k.

00:16:51.000 So, he's an artist.

00:16:52.000 That's what happens.

00:16:53.000 That's what artists do.

00:16:54.000 They live wild, libertine lives.

00:16:56.000 This is why I said I love Chris.

00:16:58.000 He's so damn funny!

00:16:59.000 They cut deals with China and they kicked back 10% to the big guy while he's in office.

00:17:04.000 And no one has to know who bought the art.

00:17:08.000 That sounds like money laundering.

00:17:13.000 I love pulling up this story because it's important.

00:17:15.000 For anybody who's like, how do I tell my friends and family about this stuff?

00:17:19.000 I think there's a lot of people who are in the cult who aren't.

00:17:22.000 I don't want to say too far gone, but very difficult to reach, and it's hard to get to him.

00:17:25.000 But at the very least, you can show them an article.

00:17:28.000 This is from Politico.

00:17:30.000 Biden, Inc.

00:17:31.000 That big right-of-center publication, Politico, right?

00:17:33.000 That's huge.

00:17:34.000 Over his decades in office, middle-class Joe's family fortunes have closely tracked his political career, from August of 2019.

00:17:41.000 And I think they actually have like a graphic.

00:17:45.000 Look at this.

00:17:46.000 They show when Joe Biden enters the Senate, And then James Biden operates Seasons Change Nightclub with help from unusually generous bank loans.

00:17:54.000 Unusually.

00:17:55.000 In 87, he launches his first presidential campaign.

00:17:58.000 So about eight years later, his brother James and Sarah Biden's Lion Hall Group hired to push Washington's agenda of tobacco trial lures for Mississippi.

00:18:06.000 So the most important one, in my opinion, is... Let me try and find it.

00:18:09.000 I think it's 2011.

00:18:11.000 Let me see if I can.

00:18:13.000 Okay, here we go.

00:18:16.000 Where's Joe Biden?

00:18:17.000 Joe Biden sworn in as VIP.

00:18:18.000 2009 paradigms connections to Ponzi schemer Alan Stanford and the fraudulent Ponta Negra fund come to light.

00:18:23.000 James Biden and Hunter Biden begin to unwind paradigm.

00:18:28.000 James Biden joins Hillstone International.

00:18:30.000 In June of 2011, Hillstone International lands a $1.5 billion contract to build housing in Iraq.

00:18:36.000 So Joe Biden becomes vice president.

00:18:38.000 Joe Biden is put in charge of the Iraq operation.

00:18:41.000 His brother gets contracts for building in Iraq.

00:18:44.000 You look at this map put together by Politico, tracking his family's fortunes around him.

00:18:51.000 And it's just, come on, it's just so obvious.

00:18:54.000 I mean if the government, not the government, if CNN was able to track down through Facebook that old woman who shared a meme about President Trump and knocked on her door to ask her about it, you're gonna tell me the government can't put in some system to say if Chris becomes president Chris's sister can't get a 1.5 billion dollar contract?

00:19:14.000 Like all these things were just like oh my gosh we had, there was no safeguards for any of this.

00:19:19.000 I mean it's just, it's mind-boggling the level of grift and corruption and scumbaggery it's just it breaks your heart because it makes you think there's no one left but but to the if you were to argue the side of the people the people on the other side of the aisle the people that are really hard to reach they're just gonna say oh that's politics politics yeah that's just how it goes what's the big deal so joe made some money i mean that's just that's how the system works they all do it yeah they all do it they'll do it look at trump yeah i'll tell you

00:19:45.000 They'll cite some stories about Trump that are not the same, as I mentioned, or fake.

00:19:51.000 And this story from Joe Biden is from 2019.

00:19:54.000 It's not like he was running for office and there was a smear piece against him.

00:19:57.000 Now, I'm not going to pretend Trump's a saint, but there's a big difference between being some crazy real estate mogul who's got a bunch of buildings around the world and you have debts on them.

00:20:04.000 Like, I think it's funny when this story came out where they're like, Trump owes $500 million in debt on his properties.

00:20:09.000 People were like, whoa.

00:20:10.000 And I'm like, yeah, okay.

00:20:11.000 Those are his liabilities.

00:20:13.000 What are his assets?

00:20:14.000 And then Trump came out and he was like, yes, I have mortgages on buildings like everybody else.

00:20:19.000 And the buildings are worth a billion.

00:20:20.000 It's just lies.

00:20:23.000 Manipulation.

00:20:24.000 Yeah, and just the Biden, the unraveling of their level of corruption, I think, deserved to come to a head before the election.

00:20:32.000 It clearly did not.

00:20:33.000 But this is this is standard behavior for the media, where they either exacerbate stories that they think are interesting or fascinating or a narrative.

00:20:41.000 You could look to we're going to talk about Miss Petito later on.

00:20:44.000 There's a narrative they like to push of missing women. 0.54

00:20:44.000 Right. 0.54

00:20:46.000 There's a narrative about racism they like to push.

00:20:49.000 But then you have another story, you know, case in point.

00:20:52.000 There was a terrible school shooting three or four days ago in, I forget where it was.

00:20:56.000 Newport News.

00:20:57.000 Newport News.

00:20:58.000 No coverage.

00:20:59.000 Because people looked at the narrative and they were like, eh, doesn't help the cause.

00:21:03.000 Nothing.

00:21:04.000 I would like to say that we did cover that at TimCast News.

00:21:06.000 Good.

00:21:06.000 We did cover that.

00:21:07.000 As you should have, because it is newsworthy.

00:21:09.000 But this is where, you know, I think what bothers me about the media, just their level of disgusting behavior, because they push their narrative, is One of the very first things that happened when Trump was sworn into office, and I've followed Media Bias for a while, but this one I thought set the tone for his administration.

00:21:28.000 January 20th, 2017, it was 5.30 in the afternoon, hours after, and it was Zeke Miller, on behalf of the White House press pool, who tweeted, President Trump has removed the Martin Luther King bus from the Oval Office.

00:21:42.000 Yes, right!

00:21:43.000 And Sean Spicer saw the tweet in real time and was like, dude, it's right there!

00:21:48.000 But it didn't matter.

00:21:50.000 The damage was done.

00:21:51.000 And he could have, as a good member of the press, said, Hey Sean, I gotta ask before I tweet this, did you remove the MLK bust?

00:21:59.000 And Spicer would have said, no, it's right there. 0.98

00:22:01.000 But he didn't verify because he won the damn narrative. 0.99

00:22:04.000 And that's what they do all the time. 0.99

00:22:07.000 And you just have to see that those things explode.

00:22:09.000 500,000 retweets, 1 million likes, but then the retraction.

00:22:14.000 It's not journalism, it's gossip blogging.

00:22:16.000 It is.

00:22:16.000 That's it.

00:22:17.000 Gawker started all that and now they're defunct, thank God.

00:22:21.000 No, no, they're back.

00:22:22.000 Well, they're back as NBC and Politico and everyone else.

00:22:27.000 No, no, no, Gawker itself, a new version has re-emerged.

00:22:29.000 Is it still called Gawker?

00:22:30.000 Yes, it is.

00:22:30.000 Oh, gosh.

00:22:31.000 But it really started with yellow journalism, like there's been a long tried history of like really, I mean, just biased reporting.

00:22:38.000 So it's been around for a long time and it's just gotten worse.

00:22:40.000 Yeah.

00:22:41.000 So there's money to be made.

00:22:42.000 You know, the crazy thing is we can see it now and we're shocked by it.

00:22:44.000 But imagine the stories you would have read in the paper in the 90s, the 80s, 90s, 2000s, before we had a strong Internet culture that was challenging and fact checking.

00:22:53.000 People just believed it.

00:22:54.000 WMDs, man.

00:22:56.000 Yeah, look at NBC News during the Trayvon Martin case, right?

00:23:00.000 Remember they edited the audio of Zimmerman, and it was like, and he said, he looks like blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah black, and they just clipped it.

00:23:10.000 He looks like he's black, and they were like, wow.

00:23:12.000 He said something like, he looks like he's up to no good. 0.98

00:23:14.000 He looks black. 0.92

00:23:15.000 Yeah. 0.91

00:23:16.000 And then it turns out, he said, he looks like he's up to no good.

00:23:18.000 And it says, is he white? 0.95

00:23:19.000 Is he Mexican or black? 0.96

00:23:21.000 And he goes, he's black. 0.87

00:23:22.000 They just took all that out.

00:23:24.000 Do you remember when the, on September 11th, when they said they found one of the guy's passports, one of the hijackers passports on the ground outside the wreckage.

00:23:33.000 Like it fell out of the airplane and landed on the ground.

00:23:36.000 I don't remember that.

00:23:38.000 That was media, that's insane.

00:23:39.000 Holy cow. 0.89

00:23:40.000 The one thing that survived amongst the rubble is his passport.

00:23:42.000 Yeah, they're like, we got it, we know who it is now.

00:23:44.000 Laid on top.

00:23:45.000 Well, that's the official story.

00:23:46.000 Yeah.

00:23:47.000 Isn't that, what the heck?

00:23:48.000 Like a passport fell out of an airplane?

00:23:50.000 What are they talking about?

00:23:54.000 Jet fuel doesn't melt passports.

00:23:56.000 Apparently not, yeah.

00:23:57.000 I don't know why Ian went there with the story.

00:24:01.000 Pre-internet news.

00:24:02.000 That was like the end of the pre-internet news era, and then the weapons of mass destruction thing.

00:24:06.000 Now we kind of have an ability to fact check stuff on our own, but before the first war in Iraq, I wonder how much was going on there that we don't know about.

00:24:14.000 I got a really good example for you guys.

00:24:15.000 You ready for this one?

00:24:17.000 We have this story from August 19th, 2021.

00:24:18.000 It is from CNN.

00:24:21.000 From Chris Aliza.

00:24:22.000 Ah, the great Chris Aliza.

00:24:26.000 Republicans keep trying to make Biden's mental capacity an issue.

00:24:29.000 Oh, no.

00:24:30.000 And then he goes on to mention people calling him out, you know, saying that his mental capacity is an issue and it's a Republican game and blah, blah, blah.

00:24:37.000 I'm not going to read this, right?

00:24:39.000 You know why?

00:24:39.000 Because I can just pull up first from a day later.

00:24:43.000 Most voters deem Biden unfit to be president, poll shows.

00:24:46.000 OK, OK.

00:24:47.000 Well, that's not Saying mental capacity, like Crystal Lizzo was challenging, but it does show that most voters think he's not capable of being president.

00:24:57.000 Now we have this story.

00:24:58.000 Less than half of Americans say Biden is mentally stable enough to serve as president.

00:25:02.000 Chris, it's not Republicans trying to make it an issue.

00:25:05.000 Yeah.

00:25:05.000 It's people being polled saying his brain don't work.

00:25:08.000 It's an issue.

00:25:13.000 Yeah.

00:25:14.000 I'm feeling pretty blackpilled on this.

00:25:15.000 Yeah.

00:25:16.000 Because earlier today, I'm looking at all this news and I see this story.

00:25:20.000 Less than half of Americans say Biden is mentally stable enough to serve as president.

00:25:25.000 And I was like, Yeah, we know that.

00:25:28.000 And then I'm thinking to myself, so I did a segment on this where I was like, not as much about the fact that Biden can't function properly and everything's collapsing and the country's basically on fire.

00:25:38.000 And I was just like, I know the border's screwed up.

00:25:41.000 I know the economy's screwed up. 0.93

00:25:42.000 I know our foreign policy is screwed up.

00:25:43.000 I know the president has no idea what's going on.

00:25:45.000 And I know his cabinet's in shambles and they're confused.

00:25:48.000 Jen Psaki is muttering and stuttering and stammering and circling back. 1.00

00:25:51.000 And then I'm like, what am I even gonna say about this?

00:25:54.000 And then I was like, actually, If that's where we're at as a country, we are seriously... Screwed?

00:26:01.000 Well, I'll bleep myself.

00:26:03.000 We are bleeped.

00:26:05.000 Because we're at a point now where it is uninteresting to people to hear that the President of the United States is viewed as mentally unfit, not mentally stable enough, That we're seeing the catastrophe and the crisis across the country, and we've normalized to it to the point where it's not surprising to hear Americans don't see the president as stable, mentally stable.

00:26:32.000 I have a slightly different theory, and I wonder, I was developing this idea while we were talking about the Hunter Biden story.

00:26:38.000 So the laptop now is officially correct.

00:26:39.000 Everyone agrees.

00:26:40.000 The New York Post, of course, is shocked that this is the case. 0.96

00:26:43.000 But I think, I wonder if the Hunter Biden thing is a segue to being like, oh my gosh, Biden is incredibly corrupt. 0.90

00:26:49.000 Not only do most people think he's unfit to be president, like mentally unstable, they also think he's super corrupt.

00:26:54.000 Maybe we should just 25th Amendment him out of here. 0.64

00:26:57.000 I don't know.

00:26:57.000 So maybe Kamala Harris' team made this story get to Politico to say, let's just start, you know, doing the damage.

00:27:03.000 I don't know.

00:27:04.000 Just spitballing. 0.82

00:27:05.000 Yeah, that's a great, that's a great theory.

00:27:08.000 You mentioned Jen Psaki today and just again, The spinning of lives.

00:27:12.000 What we need is, we need, like, your parents.

00:27:14.000 Remember when you would get caught, like, either drunk or late or whatever as a kid, and you tried to tell your mom a story, and she was like, no.

00:27:22.000 Like, tell me what the hell actually happened.

00:27:24.000 Like, she wasn't buying it.

00:27:25.000 Jen Psaki today, when Peter Doocy asked, so you are asking Europeans to show their COVID passport, but if you cross the border illegally, you don't have to show your COVID passport.

00:27:35.000 And she said, well, yes, unlike the Europeans, the illegals are not planning to stay a long time. 0.66

00:27:41.000 And that was the end of the question.

00:27:42.000 And no one in the room was the mom to be like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold up.

00:27:46.000 You think the Europeans are staying a long time and the illegals are temporary? 0.87

00:27:50.000 Like, they're not here for travel.

00:27:52.000 Like, Jen, what you just said is a complete 180-degree lie.

00:27:57.000 They just like, oh, Jen Psaki said this, and they write it down, and they tweet it, and that's it.

00:28:02.000 And we need an adult to finally say, time out, time out, Jen.

00:28:06.000 That was just a lie.

00:28:07.000 We want to take that over again.

00:28:09.000 We just accept Lies.

00:28:11.000 I mean, we would need a Michael Malice press secretary.

00:28:14.000 Yes.

00:28:15.000 Yes, we would.

00:28:16.000 Mises Caucus, Libertarian, Dave Smith.

00:28:18.000 I don't even care if this whole country becomes communist in 20 years.

00:28:21.000 If I can see Michael Malice's press secretary for one day, I will die happy.

00:28:26.000 That's all I want to see.

00:28:27.000 There's one guy in the diplomatic press corps, when I used to work at the State Department in the Bush administration a long, long time ago, and he's still there, Matt Lee, and he is by far the senior most foreign policy journalist.

00:28:39.000 And he used to make our lives miserable because I worked in the press office and he was ruthless and he's the only one but again it doesn't get as much attention because it's the foreign policy beat but he will just take them to task and say no no no hang on you just said this you said this yesterday that doesn't make any sense like if you ever watch his exchange he does not By BS.

00:29:00.000 It's really the difference between an investigative journalist and a reporter.

00:29:03.000 A reporter's gonna say, you lied to him, and I'm just gonna report on the- Or the White House press pool, where they're all just like, oh, Jen Psaki said this, and they type it down.

00:29:10.000 We need more investigative journalists in there.

00:29:12.000 Absolutely.

00:29:13.000 But they don't really get invited, right?

00:29:14.000 It's like an invite-only thing?

00:29:15.000 No, it's the White House reporters.

00:29:18.000 They're just there to ask questions and report what's said.

00:29:21.000 They're not investigating.

00:29:23.000 But we definitely need... We need someone to challenge it, but I'll say this.

00:29:29.000 You know why?

00:29:30.000 Because when we look at stories about, you know, like the CNN, Republicans are trying to make it an issue that Biden's not mentally... Republicans pounce!

00:29:37.000 And I'm like, it's not Republicans!

00:29:40.000 Independent voters overwhelmingly disapprove of Joe Biden.

00:29:43.000 But everything, you know, I love it.

00:29:45.000 When I did the Russell Brand podcast and was talking about Civil War, And I just went to town as fast as I could on all the different points about like street fighting, January 6, all that stuff, and psychological warfare, fifth generational warfare.

00:29:59.000 And the comments were like, Tim Pool is a leftist.

00:30:02.000 You know, he says this about Trump.

00:30:04.000 Tim Pool is a right winger.

00:30:05.000 He says this about Biden.

00:30:06.000 And I'm just like, These people don't seem to realize that independent voters exist.

00:30:12.000 So they come out and they're like, it's just Republicans.

00:30:14.000 And I'm like, you know what's funny?

00:30:16.000 There was this researcher who did this thing on YouTube years ago, where he was tracking the political persuasions of YouTube recommendations.

00:30:25.000 And he was doing it because of this idea of the rabbit hole that they kept pushing.

00:30:28.000 And so he had, I think he basically had four categories, left, center, right, and exclusively critical of left.

00:30:36.000 And he initially put people like me and Dave Rubin in the category of exclusively critical of left.

00:30:41.000 And so I talked to him and I pointed out like why is that the case when I do express my opinions that are I think the real issue was we are taught we are complaining about Democrats.

00:30:53.000 But our opinions were not right-wing.

00:30:54.000 That was the only issue.

00:30:56.000 So if I said something like, hey, a Green New Deal that actually rebuilds infrastructure is a good thing, but the Democrats are pushing some weird socialist garbage about Universal College, that's not a Green New Deal.

00:31:05.000 He's like, you're just criticizing the left.

00:31:06.000 I'm like, I'm literally supporting a leftist policy.

00:31:09.000 But either the left was in favor of critical race theory, centrists were like mixed on it, and the right opposed it.

00:31:15.000 So if you opposed critical race theory, you were just called a critical of left.

00:31:19.000 I'm like, that's how people, even researchers, view what's happening right now.

00:31:24.000 And I'm like, isn't it perhaps you're a centrist then?

00:31:26.000 Or heterodox or something?

00:31:28.000 Or politically homeless?

00:31:29.000 No.

00:31:30.000 Politics only flows in one direction.

00:31:33.000 If a right-wing dude stands next to a left-wing dude, the left-wing dude is called right-wing.

00:31:38.000 If a right-wing dude is hanging out with Antifa and they're all waving Antifa flags and he's got his arms around their shoulders with his thumbs up, they will say they're actually secret right-wingers.

00:31:49.000 When I get into conversations with people, one of my favorite things to say is, OK, so you hear about the right wing a lot.

00:31:54.000 The right wing is obviously a problem in your view, right?

00:31:56.000 Oh, yeah, definitely, definitely.

00:31:57.000 The news is always reporting it.

00:31:58.000 There's a far right wing extremist.

00:32:00.000 I was just like, so is there a far left?

00:32:04.000 Oh, no, there's not a far left.

00:32:06.000 They just can't see it.

00:32:07.000 They refuse to see it.

00:32:08.000 It's willful blindness.

00:32:09.000 and legislatively they know that because that's why they have to look you 0.96

00:32:12.000 mentioned the green new deal with all this leftist garbage in it and i also oppose the green new deal 0.98

00:32:19.000 but they have to sneak that leftist garbage in it because if it stood on its 0.96

00:32:22.000 own they know they wouldn't have a vote for it look you mentioned at the 0.95

00:32:24.000 beginning of the show you mentioned the immigration bill Why are they trying to tag it into a spending bill?

00:32:29.000 Because they know they can't pass an immigration bill.

00:32:31.000 The immigration bill they want, so they have to squeeze it into, and that's just what our Congress does now.

00:32:36.000 If we could have a vote on this water bottle where everyone yay or nay water bottle, Congress would work. 0.65

00:32:41.000 But instead, it's like, well, we can't do that because I don't want to go on record about the water bottle.

00:32:45.000 Right.

00:32:47.000 Everything, and throw it on a 4,000, and that's where we are, 4,000 page, $3.5 trillion, we will vote on it on Christmas Eve at 9 o'clock at night, and that's what we do, because all of these things, if they stood on their own, I don't want to get judged on that, so we throw them all in this crap sandwich, and we call it like the For the Children of Tomorrow Holding Hands Across America Bill, and then they're like, and if you don't vote for this, Chris, you hate the troops, and they're like, and you hate America! 0.68

00:33:12.000 And it's like, I just want to vote on the water bottle!

00:33:14.000 Nope.

00:33:16.000 But hold on, so why doesn't Rand Paul or Thomas Massey just slide stuff in?

00:33:20.000 I'll tell you this.

00:33:21.000 When they did the Omnibus Spending Bill, remember that?

00:33:23.000 5,000-something pages.

00:33:25.000 $12 million for Pakistani gender studies programs.

00:33:28.000 I don't know about any of you listening, but I don't care if you're on the left or the right.

00:33:32.000 We can all agree that spending $12 million on gender study programs in America is better than giving it to Pakistan. 1.00

00:33:37.000 At least you'd create American jobs. 0.97

00:33:38.000 Actually, I don't know if I agree with that necessarily.

00:33:40.000 We don't want weird But I get your point.

00:33:43.000 But why are we giving our money away for ridiculous things like this?

00:33:47.000 More importantly, when I see that, I'm like, Rand Paul, if you're listening, can you just write something very simple saying, and we abolish the Federal Reserve and just slide it in there?

00:33:58.000 Cause nobody read it!

00:34:01.000 Everybody votes on it and they're like, yay.

00:34:03.000 And then all of a sudden they're like, did we just abolish the Federal Reserve?

00:34:07.000 What do we do?

00:34:08.000 So why doesn't he do that?

00:34:09.000 I don't know.

00:34:12.000 I think because they see the process as an honorable, righteous, constitutionally mandated and this is how we do it.

00:34:19.000 So we don't violate the rules.

00:34:21.000 When they have power, they violate the rules left and right.

00:34:24.000 But when we get power, we don't play by their rules.

00:34:26.000 Now there's a growing movement on the right, I would say it's led by a guy named Jesse Kelly, There is a growing movement of the right that says, when we get power, we will double down on that.

00:34:35.000 Because that is now what he is calling the new right.

00:34:38.000 When we get power, look, they're trying to not abolish the filibuster.

00:34:42.000 And people like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, a senator from Arizona, we're not going to abolish the filibuster.

00:34:48.000 It's part of our history.

00:34:50.000 If the right gets power in 2022, absolutely abolish the filibuster and torture these people.

00:34:56.000 Change all of the rules and take all of the power and crush your enemies.

00:35:01.000 I don't agree with that, I'm just saying that's what the new right says.

00:35:03.000 Right, they're scared because I think it was Harry Reid who changed the rules.

00:35:06.000 Yeah.

00:35:07.000 And so that backfired.

00:35:08.000 They said you will rue the day.

00:35:09.000 And they did.

00:35:10.000 They did, and look what they got.

00:35:11.000 They got Gorsuch, they got the other guy, and the third one.

00:35:17.000 That's my memory.

00:35:18.000 They got Gorsuch, and they got Kavanaugh, and they got... Barry?

00:35:22.000 Amy Coney Barrett.

00:35:24.000 Did you see this story?

00:35:26.000 Check this out, from The Guardian.

00:35:27.000 To protect the Supreme Court's legitimacy, a conservative justice should step down.

00:35:32.000 If presidents do not get to replace justices in election year, then Coney Barrett's confirmation is illegitimate.

00:35:37.000 If presidents do, then Gorsuch's is illegitimate.

00:35:39.000 You can't have it both ways.

00:35:42.000 They operate on lies.

00:35:43.000 The only way Lawrence Douglas is able to convince people of this stuff is by omitting key information.

00:35:48.000 Notably, that it is not about replacing a justice in election year.

00:35:53.000 Mitch McConnell was specifically talking about, if you do not control the Senate, they will not confirm your appointee and we would be wasting our time by having everyone sit around and then vote no.

00:36:03.000 Republicans are not going to approve Garland for you.

00:36:06.000 It was Garland, right?

00:36:07.000 For Obama.

00:36:08.000 So he was like, you don't have the Senate, you do not have the votes for confirmation, the country is not unified.

00:36:14.000 When it came to Amy Coney Barrett and Gorsuch, or Coney Barrett specifically, is that they had the presidency and the Senate.

00:36:21.000 So they were able to do it.

00:36:23.000 It's that simple.

00:36:24.000 They operate on lies. They use false arguments. And that's how they maintain control.

00:36:29.000 And don't forget when McConnell first said that, according to the New York Times,

00:36:34.000 Hillary Clinton had a 97% chance of winning. Hillary Clinton, although she would probably 1.00

00:36:39.000 deny this, Hillary Clinton probably when that happened was like, I agree with that,

00:36:44.000 because she was convinced with 97% chance she was going to win. And she wanted to appoint her own

00:36:49.000 justice to the Supreme Court.

00:36:51.000 She probably secretly and her team were like, that's awesome.

00:36:54.000 Yeah, let's hold the Merrick Garland one and we get to pick because we're going to win.

00:36:59.000 So much so they had ordered fireworks, right?

00:37:01.000 She was going to win.

00:37:03.000 I remember that election.

00:37:05.000 It's a day to remember.

00:37:06.000 A lot of people are sharing a new report that CERN, Large Hadron Collider, is going to be firing up again.

00:37:11.000 And I don't know if you all know this, but didn't they fire up in 2016, smashing particles together or whatever?

00:37:17.000 Is that when they found the Higgs boson?

00:37:18.000 No, I don't know, but the joke conspiracy is that they accidentally warped us into an alternate reality or something.

00:37:24.000 Somehow Donald Trump became president and all that stuff, and now they're doing it again, and who knows what's going to happen.

00:37:29.000 But this is the state of the country where the Democrats, the establishment media, are duplicitous.

00:37:36.000 They manipulate, they deceive, they use fake arguments.

00:37:40.000 And I'm no fan of the Republican Party.

00:37:42.000 I think they do nothing.

00:37:44.000 You literally have Republicans Here's what happens.

00:37:47.000 Democrats are like, we would like to strip the rights away from law-abiding citizens in this country.

00:37:52.000 And Republicans go, no, wait, don't.

00:37:54.000 And they say, well, you guys are at don't, we're at strip their rights.

00:37:58.000 How about we strip half of their rights? 1.00

00:37:59.000 And Republicans go, okay, good compromise.

00:38:01.000 Half of them, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:38:02.000 Here's what I want.

00:38:03.000 This isn't so bad.

00:38:04.000 So I don't know about, you were just mentioning that, abolishing the filibuster.

00:38:09.000 That when Republicans get in, do it, abolish the filibuster, and then just trample over Democrats.

00:38:14.000 I don't want to see that happen.

00:38:14.000 I'm saying that's what people are saying.

00:38:16.000 Right, right.

00:38:17.000 Yeah, but yeah.

00:38:18.000 So I think there's obviously people saying, let's do it, let's go nuclear.

00:38:20.000 I think that contributes to the gradual decline of the U.S.

00:38:24.000 system of governance.

00:38:25.000 And the reason we're seeing Democrats like Joe Biden bypass the legislature and Supreme

00:38:28.000 Court in violation of our norms and law is because they're tired.

00:38:32.000 They want to get things done.

00:38:33.000 They want to do things they can't.

00:38:34.000 This country used to move slowly.

00:38:36.000 You used to have to, like, ride on horseback to go to D.C.

00:38:39.000 to cast a vote, and policy moved slowly.

00:38:41.000 Now they're like, it must be done now!

00:38:43.000 Okay, here's what I want to see.

00:38:45.000 Lauren Boebert, would you please keep consistently filing bills to repeal the N.F.A.?

00:38:52.000 Can we get Marjorie Taylor Greene as well?

00:38:54.000 Thomas Massey, Rand Paul, all you guys, repeal the N.F.A.!

00:38:58.000 Give me a good reason why they would.

00:38:59.000 Why not?

00:39:00.000 Seriously, why not?

00:39:02.000 National Firearms Act.

00:39:03.000 No, no, no.

00:39:04.000 Get rid of it.

00:39:04.000 We have the right to keep and bear arms.

00:39:06.000 I'm not saying that we would legitimately repeal the NFA, but at the very least, the terms of the argument should not be, no, wait, don't.

00:39:14.000 It should literally be like, okay, Democrats, you're at gun control.

00:39:17.000 We're at complete deregulation of all gun laws in the country.

00:39:21.000 How about we agree upon, we'll only ban fully auto?

00:39:26.000 How about we, we're going to repeal the NFA and then you could start arguing from our position on gun rights.

00:39:32.000 They don't do that.

00:39:32.000 Republicans never do this.

00:39:33.000 No, they, they buy into the common sense gun rules, right?

00:39:37.000 And that's just what you do.

00:39:38.000 You just rephrase it as common sense, gun protection, common sense, gun restrictions.

00:39:43.000 And now we've, we've, we've ceded to the argument that these are common sense as opposed to saying this isn't common sense.

00:39:50.000 This is unconstitutional.

00:39:51.000 But it's not even- I don't mean to make it about a gun rights thing and be like, GUNS!

00:39:55.000 I'm saying, quite literally, when the Democrats go, UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE!

00:39:59.000 The Republicans don't go, DEREGULATION OF GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE.

00:40:02.000 They go, no, wait, don't.

00:40:04.000 And then the Democrats say, okay, you're at stop, and we're at government healthcare.

00:40:07.000 How about we meet halfway and do, you know, public option?

00:40:09.000 Yeah, which is most of the time what happens, and then they get most of what they wanted anyway.

00:40:14.000 I would like to go back... And the Democrats tell people it's inverted.

00:40:17.000 That we're helpless, the Republicans are stopping us!

00:40:20.000 We wanted so much more.

00:40:21.000 I would just like to go back to single-issue votes like the water bottle.

00:40:24.000 I can't understand why we can't get people in Congress who will say, this is the bill, and it's a page and a half, and here's how much it costs, and it goes through the appropriate committee, and it goes through markup, and it makes it to... Instead we get these monster, monster, monster We don't even do the appropriation process right.

00:40:43.000 And that's why people like Joe Biden's brother get $1.5 trillion contracts.

00:40:48.000 It's rolled up into the Defense Reauthorization Act and no one knows where it is.

00:40:55.000 What's the appropriation process?

00:40:57.000 The way it should work is that it depends upon what the issue is.

00:41:01.000 So say it's transportation, right?

00:41:02.000 We want to build a bridge between these two states.

00:41:05.000 Federal government has to get a job.

00:41:06.000 It has to go through the Transportation Subcommittee.

00:41:08.000 The Department of Transportation has to make their proposal.

00:41:10.000 Transportation Subcommittee works it up.

00:41:12.000 Appropriations says, how much do we have in the Treasury?

00:41:15.000 And then those two then together bring it to the floor for the larger vote.

00:41:18.000 And then you've got to whip the votes and say, you're going to vote for my bridge and I'll vote for your bridge.

00:41:22.000 But if you vote for my bridge and then the Senate actually works.

00:41:26.000 But what's happening now?

00:41:27.000 We are just bypassing all that.

00:41:29.000 You know what's happening?

00:41:30.000 The Transportation Committee will have a markup on racism in the Transportation Department.

00:41:35.000 And they'll talk about the inherent racism of the taxi cab system.

00:41:41.000 Pete Buttigieg in his confirmation talked about how we must acknowledge as a country that most of our infrastructure was built on racism.

00:41:48.000 And they say, if you don't vote for my bill, you hate the troops, you're racist, all that stuff.

00:41:54.000 You're not a big into the argument.

00:41:55.000 Then they'll take your bridge and they'll roll it into everything.

00:41:58.000 Well, you know what your bridge is?

00:41:59.000 It's going to come out in the $3.5 trillion along with everyone else's little.

00:42:04.000 Yes.

00:42:04.000 You're talking about appropriating funds for individual projects within a large.

00:42:07.000 Yeah.

00:42:08.000 And then the committee says, how much does the transportation department actually need next year?

00:42:13.000 What are all the projects we have?

00:42:15.000 What do they actually need?

00:42:16.000 Blah, blah, blah.

00:42:17.000 But we don't do that.

00:42:18.000 We're just like, we just make up numbers.

00:42:20.000 You know how I've described what's going on with the culture war in the past?

00:42:23.000 I've said, it's like, imagine there's a big whirlpool that's spinning around and we're all in it.

00:42:27.000 And over time, it's getting tighter and compressing and spinning faster and faster and faster.

00:42:33.000 That's because we're getting lower in the pool.

00:42:35.000 As we go down, it gets tighter and faster.

00:42:36.000 Maybe.

00:42:37.000 Maybe we're circling the drain.

00:42:38.000 That's a good way to put it.

00:42:39.000 I think in the real world, the reality is that the information is circulating faster and faster.

00:42:46.000 So the analogy I love the most is, imagine it's, you know, the Revolutionary Era and the Founding Fathers are like, We declare independence!

00:42:56.000 And they fold up the letter and they pour the wax on it and stamp it and they hand it to the carrier who rides on horseback to the boat, who puts it on the boat, who then gets the boat on the water for three months to make it back to the King of England.

00:43:08.000 And then in that three months after you send the letter, you're sitting there, you're working the crops or you're having meetings and discussions about independence.

00:43:15.000 And then, the king, the boat finally lands, it takes a few days to make it to the, from the port to the, to the, to the, to the king, and to parliament, and then the king reads it, and says, he had, and then he drafts a letter, and he says, I reject this, we're sending in troops, and then three months after that...

00:43:30.000 That's how things used to be.

00:43:32.000 You would say, we're gonna have a policy position.

00:43:35.000 How many times, like, if they were actually gonna go to D.C.

00:43:37.000 and actually have a vote, they had to physically go there, they'd have discussions, and they weren't hearing all of this stuff all over the place.

00:43:43.000 Like, if you lived in Virginia, and then someone came down from New York, you were hearing things for the first time.

00:43:50.000 Up in New York, we had a dam breach!

00:43:52.000 And now we've got water flooding these areas, we are not securing our... And then you'd be like, I didn't know that happened.

00:43:58.000 You guys ever see the movie News of the World with Tom Hanks?

00:44:00.000 No.

00:44:01.000 It was a reconstruction era, and he has newspapers from different cities, and he travels around the South with old newspapers, charging people a dime so they can sit down as he reads the news.

00:44:14.000 That's how things used to be today.

00:44:16.000 What happens is, someone goes on Twitter and says, abolish the police, and then someone else says, I agree, AOC, why aren't you abolishing the police?

00:44:22.000 And literally within like 10 minutes, she's like, I as a representative think we should abolish the police.

00:44:27.000 I'm not saying literally, I'm saying as an example.

00:44:29.000 So we're moving instantaneously, and then because she can't get it done in a session, because we're still using this old system of like, you know, Ian you're probably like this, we're meeting in person instead of doing things digitally.

00:44:42.000 Then people demand, if we can all see the problem, why can't we click a button and fix it?

00:44:47.000 Why are we waiting so long for this?

00:44:49.000 And then when it's not getting done, they say, let's just bypass the rules of the legislature.

00:44:53.000 Joe Biden says, let me just rule by executive order and bypass the Supreme Court, which told me what I'm doing is illegal, but I don't care, I'll do it anyway.

00:45:00.000 Because we demand instant satisfaction.

00:45:03.000 Whole system is about to burst.

00:45:06.000 It's burst already.

00:45:07.000 And now we're just waiting for the light to reach our eyes. 0.97

00:45:09.000 But even the example you used, which I liked, of the guy from Virginia heard about the damn breach from New York. 0.84

00:45:16.000 If that was happening in real time, probably in the back of his head was like, well, sorry New York, but I represent Virginia.

00:45:22.000 We don't even have that anymore.

00:45:24.000 Proof of that, and you mentioned our beloved Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

00:45:28.000 when she was caught maskless at that ball a couple weeks ago and her one her

00:45:32.000 initial response was well like as the congresswoman from New York like I'm

00:45:36.000 there for cultural reasons but it's also my constituency and you say no that was

00:45:40.000 in Manhattan you are Queens in the Bronx that museum isn't your

00:45:45.000 Like, there is no constitutional reason for you to say, I represent New York.

00:45:49.000 But in her mind, I'm fairly convinced she thinks I am the Congresswoman of New York.

00:45:54.000 Yep.

00:45:55.000 You wish you were the congressperson who I think would be Jerry Nadler, if I'm right, but I could be wrong.

00:46:00.000 I think that's his district.

00:46:01.000 You would love for him to call it and be like, I'm sorry, child.

00:46:04.000 Like, that's my district.

00:46:06.000 Don't talk about my district, but that's what we do now.

00:46:09.000 We have members of Congress who are passing laws, senators who are passing laws about states that don't even represent.

00:46:14.000 We want to close ANWR, Patty Murray, Washington.

00:46:17.000 I've told the senators from Alaska to say, pass a bill that says apples are illegal.

00:46:22.000 Consider this bill.

00:46:23.000 Because that's Washington.

00:46:24.000 Consider this. 0.94

00:46:25.000 It's back in the, uh, let's, let's say, you know, 1800s at some point, early 1800s, and someone from Virginia goes to Congress and someone from New York comes down and says, we had a damn breach. 0.57

00:46:35.000 And he says that I represent Virginia.

00:46:37.000 I don't know.

00:46:37.000 I don't have to tell you, you know, we want to make sure we can help our, our, you know, our friends in New York.

00:46:42.000 So we'll see what we can do today.

00:46:45.000 Yeah.

00:46:45.000 you'll get me i'll avoid naming the specific companies will get a major

00:46:49.000 corporation going to happen virginia and say

00:46:52.000 vote for our bill so we can got the natural spring waters in new york 0.98

00:46:56.000 you see it it wasn't as easy to transfer money back then to communicate quickly

00:47:00.000 so you get to have a major corporations spokesman go down

00:47:04.000 to virginia to lobby specifically Possible.

00:47:08.000 It was done.

00:47:08.000 It was a lot harder.

00:47:09.000 Nowadays, you get a LinkedIn message, you get a list, you get a bunch of phone calls and emails.

00:47:14.000 You get texts non-stop.

00:47:16.000 And there's a guy saying, look, you don't care about New York, right?

00:47:18.000 You represent Virginia?

00:47:18.000 Great, here's what we're going to do.

00:47:20.000 We think we should be able to harvest all the natural spring water from upstate New York.

00:47:24.000 There's people who live there, but don't worry, they're not going to sweat it one bit.

00:47:26.000 Besides, there's only 100 people up there.

00:47:29.000 We are going to make substantial contributions to your political action committees.

00:47:33.000 It's going to be fantastic.

00:47:34.000 You'll love it when you announce your re-election, or when you announce your election, or a wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

00:47:40.000 And then all of a sudden, somebody in Virginia who doesn't care about New York says, I'm in favor of the Clean Water Usurption Act, the Theft of Water Act.

00:47:49.000 I think it would be great if we could share the water with the country.

00:47:53.000 And it's really just, you're bought and paid for.

00:47:55.000 George Carlin, I think it was, he said we should put the patches all over their suits so we know who's sponsoring them.

00:48:03.000 I don't think I will ever run for office.

00:48:05.000 I just wish those who represented their areas had so much more pride and sense of ownership and sense of responsibility and sense of territorialness so that if another senator or congressperson was trying to pass laws or whatever about my area, the response is like, no, no, no, this is turf warfare.

00:48:23.000 You know, and it just bothers me that everyone thinks they are the senator of the country.

00:48:29.000 And there are great examples of that.

00:48:30.000 Lindsey Graham spends half his time in Afghanistan.

00:48:32.000 I am here because I am the senator.

00:48:35.000 You're the senator from South Carolina, a not hugely significant state.

00:48:40.000 No offense to South Carolinians who are watching.

00:48:42.000 Lovely state.

00:48:43.000 Have vacationed there many times.

00:48:44.000 But, like, you're the senator from South Carolina.

00:48:47.000 Stay in South Carolina.

00:48:48.000 care deeply about South Carolina.

00:48:51.000 But what these guys do is they run for office and Republicans, I think, sometimes are even

00:48:56.000 more guilty of this than Democrats.

00:48:57.000 Ted Cruz has been Senator of America.

00:48:59.000 Marco Rubio has been Senator of America since the day they got into office.

00:49:02.000 They get their funding from all over the country.

00:49:05.000 And a lot of time their constituents hate them.

00:49:06.000 Yep.

00:49:07.000 But they raise so much money on the national level that they keep winning.

00:49:11.000 But you know what's fascinating?

00:49:12.000 The last Ted Cruz race where he almost lost to Beto O'Rourke, who's a whole other thing, running for governor now.

00:49:20.000 Natural born Texans.

00:49:22.000 He lost the vote of natural-born Texans.

00:49:24.000 He won the Republican vote of people who moved to Texas.

00:49:29.000 Texans didn't like Ted Cruz.

00:49:30.000 Well, let's talk about laws.

00:49:32.000 We'll talk about sound policy, and we'll make it about guns. 0.80

00:49:34.000 I want to take the opportunity to advance our gun discussion, because I like to.

00:49:38.000 We have this story from TimCast.com.

00:49:39.000 West Virginia's crime rates decline after state adopts constitutional carry law.

00:49:45.000 FBI data indicates a steady decline in violent crime since 2016, when the policy was approved by the state's legislature.

00:49:51.000 So I walk into a gun store, and I'm like, uh, so what do I have to do to buy a gun?

00:49:54.000 Like you got to fill out your NICS form, the National Instant Criminal Check System.

00:49:57.000 Uh, criminal.

00:49:58.000 Takes forever.

00:50:00.000 Yeah, it depends.

00:50:00.000 Sometimes you could put on the delay list, but sometimes it's 15 minutes.

00:50:03.000 I'm always on the delay list because Daniel Turner is the most boring name in the world.

00:50:06.000 And there are, there are like 33,000 Daniel Turners and I'm always delayed.

00:50:10.000 They gotta go through it.

00:50:12.000 So sometimes they can be like, come back in a few days, or they might just be like, you're being researched, give us a few minutes.

00:50:18.000 But in West Virginia, I'm like, okay, so do I need anything?

00:50:20.000 No, no.

00:50:21.000 I can just take this weapon right now?

00:50:23.000 Yeah.

00:50:23.000 I can put it on my belt?

00:50:24.000 Oh yeah.

00:50:25.000 You sure you don't want to do concealed carry?

00:50:26.000 I was like, yeah, you just put it right inside your belt.

00:50:28.000 And I'm like, really?

00:50:29.000 Yeah, it's West Virginia.

00:50:30.000 Constitutional carry.

00:50:31.000 You can't do it outside the state.

00:50:33.000 And they do recommend you get your concealed carry permit, meaning you take the test, you get approved and all that stuff because it does benefit you.

00:50:38.000 That is your background check, so you don't have to go through NICS anymore.

00:50:40.000 You can just walk in and buy.

00:50:42.000 But this is the perfect example.

00:50:44.000 People in West Virginia live in a very different world from people in New York City and Chicago.

00:50:48.000 So when you see national-level politicians, like basically what we were just talking about is that there are senators and there are congresspeople for the nation.

00:50:56.000 They actually literally represent one state or one district, but they fundraise off of everyone in the world.

00:51:01.000 So for those that missed the previous segment, we're basically saying like some guy in Virginia back in the day would go to DC, hear about a dam breaking in New York State, and be like, I represent West Virginia, I didn't hear anything about this, I don't know.

00:51:13.000 Nowadays, you'll get big corporations trying to get votes to crush New York state law by getting a federal law to like supersede it or by getting support from other places.

00:51:23.000 So this is what ends up happening.

00:51:24.000 You get Democrats who are like, we should ban guns.

00:51:26.000 I'm like, okay, you know what?

00:51:27.000 I'll say this.

00:51:27.000 First of all, Second Amendment.

00:51:28.000 So you can't just do that.

00:51:30.000 But I hear you.

00:51:31.000 If you live in Chicago, And you live in that world.

00:51:34.000 I don't live there anymore.

00:51:35.000 I can tell you what it was like living there.

00:51:37.000 It doesn't make sense for you to pass a law based on Chicago's problems on West Virginia.

00:51:42.000 Because in West Virginia, their crime went down when they told everybody, feel free to carry a weapon around.

00:51:47.000 And the example I always give people when they're like, you know, uh, we, we obviously, you know, uh, we have different properties here for Timcast.

00:51:54.000 And there are people who, you know, come from cities and they're worried about guns and stuff.

00:51:59.000 I, I, I tell people, look.

00:52:01.000 When I go outside, and I'm in New York.

00:52:04.000 You guys have been to New York, I imagine, of course.

00:52:06.000 Used to live there.

00:52:07.000 Born and raised.

00:52:09.000 Were you scared crossing the street?

00:52:12.000 Depends upon what stage of my life.

00:52:15.000 Oh, just like hit by a car?

00:52:17.000 Oh God, no.

00:52:18.000 No, we played in the street.

00:52:18.000 People jaywalk in the street.

00:52:20.000 We played in the street.

00:52:21.000 They break open the fire hydrants in spring.

00:52:22.000 Imagine this.

00:52:23.000 In Chicago, in New York, you'll be driving around, you'll see a fire hydrant open up in spring in the street, right?

00:52:27.000 You've seen those before?

00:52:28.000 Sure.

00:52:29.000 It's in the middle of the street, you notice?

00:52:30.000 They're on basketball.

00:52:31.000 People would put basketball hoops up to the street, they would play, and when a car comes, car, and they'd move.

00:52:36.000 In Chicago, we would skate in the street, and when a car would come, car, and we'd move.

00:52:40.000 Imagine looking at this gigantic mass of metal hurtling at you at 35 to 40 miles an hour or whatever, depending on what part of the city you're in, and then freezing up and going, there are cars everywhere!

00:52:49.000 What do we do?

00:52:50.000 When I see people in West Virginia carrying guns, I don't even think about it.

00:52:54.000 I don't think someone in the car is going to veer off the road and slam into me.

00:52:57.000 Sometimes it happens.

00:52:58.000 And I don't think a guy who's got a gun is going to pull out and just start shooting randomly.

00:53:01.000 But there are people who live in cities who feel this way, and all of a sudden now they're using the weight of the federal government to go after states where it makes no sense.

00:53:08.000 This is one of the biggest problems we're facing right now.

00:53:10.000 And it's why even Sarah Silverman, in my opinion, is saying peaceful divorce.

00:53:14.000 Because if we're at a point where you've got Democrats being like, we would like to pass laws for New York, but for the country, that makes no sense.

00:53:21.000 I'll tell you what the problem is.

00:53:23.000 When you see politicians running for federal office, they want to be in Congress, like AOC or anybody else. 0.96

00:53:29.000 They are running for federal office and they go, I'm going to clean up this town.

00:53:33.000 If you vote for me, we're going to reduce crime rates and improve schooling and get funding for our university.

00:53:38.000 But hold on.

00:53:40.000 You're not a local politician.

00:53:42.000 You're running for federal office.

00:53:44.000 You're not representing the district's interests in terms of how they spend their own tax funds.

00:53:49.000 You're talking about going to Congress and voting on war and budgets, which will affect your district.

00:53:54.000 But when they're like, I'm going to clean up this town.

00:53:55.000 No, you're not.

00:53:56.000 You're going to DC.

00:53:57.000 You're going to be voting on cleaning up Afghanistan or coming back and cleaning up Syria. 1.00

00:54:02.000 You want to change those issues, you vote for local politicians.

00:54:05.000 What happens now is people are running for office on local issues nationally, And then they're saying, we've got a gun problem in Chicago, so we should ban guns.

00:54:13.000 For people in West Virginia!

00:54:14.000 Yeah.

00:54:16.000 That makes sense.

00:54:16.000 Do you think that these politicians and lawmakers started off as people that had local pride, and then they just got corrupted as they got involved in the process?

00:54:23.000 Or do you think that they were just chills from the beginning to some extent?

00:54:26.000 I think Kirsten Gillibrand is a great example of that.

00:54:30.000 She was a congresswoman from upstate New York, moderate Democrat.

00:54:36.000 Hillary Clinton moved on, her seat was vacant, and she got the job, and now Kirsten Gillibrand is as left-wing as Chuck Schumer.

00:54:45.000 Remember when she was in the bar?

00:54:46.000 She had an approval rating from the NRA.

00:54:49.000 She had a positive approval rating.

00:54:50.000 I bet you if you ask her now, she would probably be 100% anti-guns in all form. 1.00

00:54:55.000 And that's what separates her from, I think, someone like Senator Bernie Sanders, because Vermont doesn't have a huge city.

00:55:03.000 Bernie is only rural.

00:55:04.000 So Bernie actually on guns is either pretty quiet or actually probably not that bad.

00:55:08.000 But if you're a senator from a state like New York, Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer know they just need to win New York City.

00:55:15.000 They don't care about Albany, Utica, you know, Schenectady.

00:55:19.000 No one cares about those places.

00:55:20.000 Same with California.

00:55:22.000 Same with Illinois.

00:55:23.000 But if you're from a kind of a state that has like Absolutely.

00:55:27.000 city but like it's a rural state, Vermont, the two guys from Connecticut, the two guys

00:55:32.000 from New Hampshire, Maine.

00:55:37.000 You are spelling out why we need the electoral college.

00:55:40.000 Absolutely.

00:55:41.000 When you look at states like New York, Illinois, they say, in Illinois, I don't need to win

00:55:45.000 anything but Chicago.

00:55:47.000 Yeah.

00:55:48.000 And that's all becoming all of America and that's the ethos of my organization, Power

00:55:51.000 the Future.com is the divide in America growing divide, I think, in my personal philosophy,

00:55:58.000 I should write a book on this, is between urban and rural and we were always a rural

00:56:03.000 country that had big cities but it used to be, when I was born, it

00:56:06.000 It was 55 45 and in my lifetime I That has flip-flopped and now the majority of us live in

00:56:12.000 cities.

00:56:13.000 That's changing.

00:56:13.000 City people are, well thank God, but city people are making policies for the country.

00:56:18.000 Look at the Green New Deal.

00:56:19.000 Look at the high-speed rail and no combustion engine.

00:56:23.000 That is written by someone who thinks like a girl, AOC, who has only known the city.

00:56:30.000 She is not thinking of someone who is from rural West Virginia.

00:56:33.000 So she says, well, we'll just get rid of the combustion engine.

00:56:36.000 And you say, well, in Alaska, a lot of people, like a lot of people have a little tiny airplane because that's how they get to the grocery store.

00:56:44.000 Like it is not uncommon to jump in your little tiny plane and they buy planes for what you buy SUVs.

00:56:49.000 $40,000, you can buy a used plane.

00:56:52.000 I think I read somewhere that if we shut down all fossil fuel production within this year, you'd get like 60 million dead within a few months.

00:56:55.000 they land they go to the grocery. Ban the combustion engine?

00:56:59.000 I think I read somewhere that if we shut down oil, all fossil fuel production within this

00:57:03.000 year you'd get like 60 million dead within a few months.

00:57:06.000 Oh absolutely.

00:57:07.000 Probably more than it actually.

00:57:08.000 I think it's like within a few days 60 million would die.

00:57:10.000 Mostly because they'd be unable to power refrigerators.

00:57:13.000 All the diabetics would instantly die because their insulin would spoil.

00:57:16.000 And then you can't transport food.

00:57:18.000 You can't drive anymore.

00:57:20.000 So all of the energy transportation that grows food, transports food, and makes the water work.

00:57:25.000 We're they say that we're addicted to fossil fuels.

00:57:28.000 It's not that we're addicted.

00:57:29.000 It's that our infrastructure is built upon it.

00:57:31.000 It's not an addiction.

00:57:32.000 It's a it's an energy requirement for standing this level of yeah, and they have no they have no idea how farming works how ranching works a manufacturer so they will say something like the PETA folks or the whatever folks like this is cruel what you do to animals and could we and should we treat animals humanely as we absolutely we should and we should always strive to be better but the thing is that you live in the Upper East Side of Manhattan and you think food is going to Whole Foods and buying stuff in a package and you have no idea what it took to get that thing look at this this this is water in a plastic bottle that was this is not possible but for fossil fuels

00:58:10.000 I was talking to someone during the lockdown, and I mentioned something like, if we shut down the economy, how eventually we're going to run out of food at the stores.

00:58:26.000 And I had someone who was pro, like a UBI guy, say, what are you talking about?

00:58:29.000 We can just go to the store to get food when we need it.

00:58:32.000 And then I said, if we do UBI, and people don't work and don't make stuff, and people aren't farming, then where will the food come from?

00:58:41.000 And they're like, the store, what do you mean?

00:58:44.000 I hope you cut that person out.

00:58:46.000 It was Twitter.

00:58:48.000 And I'm like, there are people who are literally sitting there thinking that, like, one day, like, a little loaf of bread just appears on the shelf and slowly starts growing.

00:58:56.000 It grows, yeah.

00:58:56.000 And then you take it, and another one respawns.

00:58:58.000 They had to be trolling you, Tim.

00:59:00.000 No, no, no. 0.98

00:59:03.000 Please be troll. 1.00

00:59:04.000 Think about how stupid the average person is. 1.00

00:59:06.000 Yeah, I realized half of them are stupid. 1.00

00:59:08.000 I was in first grade. 1.00

00:59:09.000 We took the Iowa basics and I got not been the 99th percentile.

00:59:13.000 So I was like, okay, I guess we all got in the 99th percentile because that's the easiest thing that just there's that's much question stuff.

00:59:18.000 They already told me, but that's just not how society works.

00:59:21.000 People failed.

00:59:21.000 It's like, but they told you this.

00:59:23.000 I can't remember.

00:59:24.000 It was the most obvious.

00:59:24.000 I was like, here's all the answers.

00:59:26.000 Now write them down and how people couldn't get it.

00:59:28.000 I just don't.

00:59:29.000 And when people are looking at why food prices are going up, and COVID has a lot to do with that, oil prices has a lot to do with that, inflation, but as you were saying with this guy who doesn't know where food comes from, we paid so much.

00:59:40.000 And working in a slaughtering house is not glorious work, right?

00:59:44.000 It's probably really brutal.

00:59:46.000 I'm sure it pays okay, but you know, it's not that, you're not going to make a huge living.

00:59:51.000 It employs a lot of ex-convicts, right?

00:59:53.000 It employs a lot of people with records because you're slaughtering cows.

00:59:57.000 And I know this having talked to people who do this, who own these companies for a living, and they were making more to stay home the last year and a half with COVID.

01:00:05.000 And so now you are bringing in beef that is not getting processed that we're throwing in the garbage.

01:00:10.000 I have a friend who has five barns and each one of them has 75,000 little baby chicks that they raise to a certain size.

01:00:19.000 And then the Tysons or companies like that come and take them off and they process the chickens.

01:00:23.000 And that's why there's always chickens in the grocery store. 0.99

01:00:26.000 But because of COVID, that was all shut down and the chickens got too big.

01:00:29.000 And all of the machines that process chickens, the chicken has to be this big or this big.

01:00:35.000 And now the chicken grew an extra two months.

01:00:37.000 And well, you know what they said?

01:00:39.000 And his mom was genuinely in tears.

01:00:42.000 They said, go into your barns and turn off the AC and close the door.

01:00:46.000 Wow.

01:00:47.000 And that was what they had to do.

01:00:49.000 And that was the FDA that said that.

01:00:50.000 And then what?

01:00:51.000 Throw them away?

01:00:51.000 And then you throw them away.

01:00:52.000 And that was the FDA that was like, and that's what you do.

01:00:55.000 Hundreds of thousands of chickens that are perfectly healthy.

01:00:57.000 Why?

01:00:58.000 Because the government said they're not essential workers.

01:01:00.000 So now people are like, why is food so expensive?

01:01:02.000 Government.

01:01:02.000 I want to talk about cascade... I want to talk about economic cascade failure.

01:01:08.000 So you may have seen these stories over the past few months of people putting up signs saying, we all quit, right?

01:01:13.000 You were just mentioning that for the past year or so, people were getting paid more not to work, so why would they work?

01:01:18.000 I think that plays a role in people not working.

01:01:20.000 So what happens is, we had a story recently, another one, where it's like, sign appears on a restaurant, we've been working for a month straight with no days off, there's not enough people here, so we all quit, sorry for the inconvenience.

01:01:30.000 When you have a restaurant with 10 people, and that allows you to have rotating shifts of part-time workers, people get their days off.

01:01:37.000 When three of them end up quitting for whatever reason, leaving for whatever reason, and now you have substantially less staff, people have to pick up shifts.

01:01:47.000 Then you say, look, we have no one else.

01:01:50.000 We need you to come in.

01:01:52.000 And then they say, I can't work this many hours.

01:01:54.000 I quit.

01:01:55.000 It's a cascade failure where the more people who quit, the more people will quit, meaning more people will quit.

01:02:03.000 So even though we've ended the COVID unemployment benefits, you ever have like a drain, like a thing of water and you're like draining the tub and you swirl it with your finger for fun to make that spiral?

01:02:12.000 That's what we did.

01:02:13.000 That's what the Democratic establishment, the governors, and many Republicans did.

01:02:17.000 They decided that as the economy was being shuttered, they would swirl the water as fast as they could to try and kickstart that little whirlpool to kick off.

01:02:26.000 As soon as they got a certain amount of people to quit, it's ignition.

01:02:29.000 It becomes self-sustaining.

01:02:30.000 A better way to put it is, they had the stick in the wood, and they were doing that little thing to get the stick to friction, and they were like, we just need ignition.

01:02:36.000 Once we get to the point where we generate enough friction for the business, people will quit.

01:02:40.000 Once people keep quitting, it becomes a self-sustaining collapse, a cascade failure of economics.

01:02:45.000 And now we're gonna see prices go up.

01:02:47.000 I saw more people today post photos of empty store shelves.

01:02:50.000 That's crazy to me that it's been going on for so long, but you know what?

01:02:53.000 Makes sense when they talk about a great reset, about people consuming too much, and I'm like, well, here it is.

01:03:00.000 People are going to wake up one day to $10 milk, and that's when things get crazy.

01:03:04.000 And it's happening at a bad time because winter always exacerbates economic problems, right?

01:03:09.000 You have transportation problems because of snow, because of ice, because of cold.

01:03:13.000 Things are just harder to maintain in winter.

01:03:19.000 So prices are going to skyrocket.

01:03:21.000 Not to mention oil prices, gas prices, electricity prices, heating prices.

01:03:26.000 So it's going to be bad.

01:03:28.000 Actually on the drive here they were already talking on the news about they have noticed an increase in hoarding tendencies again at big box stores.

01:03:35.000 Toilet paper, paper towels.

01:03:37.000 There's nothing causing it.

01:03:39.000 There's no something on the horizon.

01:03:41.000 But people just feel it.

01:03:42.000 This is the fascinating thing of sociology.

01:03:44.000 The people who are paying attention.

01:03:45.000 The people who are paying attention are feeling it and people are People are doing it.

01:03:50.000 So yeah, we're headed to some very, very, very dark times.

01:03:53.000 You want to know how dark it is?

01:03:55.000 Let me just pull up this story right here.

01:03:56.000 Two men arrested in New Zealand for smuggling KFC into COVID lockdown Auckland.

01:04:00.000 Okay, so not necessarily the same thing as economic failure, but come on.

01:04:05.000 This is the psychotic nightmare dystopia story you never thought you'd see.

01:04:09.000 Smuggling KFC.

01:04:11.000 Why is KFC banned?

01:04:12.000 Why can't you have KFC?

01:04:13.000 What does that have to do with COVID?

01:04:15.000 Maybe like they were in an area that you're not allowed to- are they in a quarantined area?

01:04:19.000 Because their quarantines were geographic, like you are not allowed to- Take out his band.

01:04:23.000 Take out his band.

01:04:24.000 Why?

01:04:24.000 Because it might have COVID on it.

01:04:27.000 So look, I highlight this just to show, when they set policies in motion that create a cascade failure or collapse, This is just another example of the absurdity of the rules that make no sense that will just cause people to lose their minds.

01:04:44.000 COVID doesn't live out in the environment for very long.

01:04:47.000 That's pretty well documented.

01:04:49.000 That's besides the point.

01:04:50.000 The point I'm saying is people in government don't know, don't care.

01:04:52.000 They're just like burn it down.

01:04:54.000 Yeah. 0.69

01:04:54.000 Just whatever it takes to make people go crazy and burn it down. 0.69

01:04:57.000 Middle-class people seeing the price... we went to the store the other day.

01:05:01.000 We were like, we want to get some charcuterie, some meats and cheeses.

01:05:03.000 We had the shopping cart maybe about 20% full and it was $400.

01:05:09.000 I get it, you know, cheese and meat can be costly, but a year ago,

01:05:13.000 we filled up a whole cart including our standard selection of meats and cheeses.

01:05:18.000 We're not buying, like, fancy, you know, French imported meats, like a regular salami and stuff.

01:05:22.000 We would fill up the whole cart for 400 bucks.

01:05:24.000 I remember a year ago, we filled up the cart, and we had, like, beans and rice and meat and cheese and milk, and I was like, wow, 400 for this?

01:05:30.000 That's crazy!

01:05:31.000 Now it's like the cart's barely full, and I'm like, what is happening?

01:05:34.000 I have been, I have been photo documenting my grocery trips because every single time I go, I spend about the same amount.

01:05:40.000 And every time it gets smaller.

01:05:41.000 This last time I filled the seat that the kid sits in with the food that I was buying for myself for a week.

01:05:46.000 And it was like $80.

01:05:47.000 And I was like, this is not what I used to be able to buy.

01:05:50.000 This is insane.

01:05:51.000 And the stores, the shelves are empty.

01:05:53.000 This is something I noticed too.

01:05:54.000 There's no dairy.

01:05:55.000 There's very little beef.

01:05:56.000 We couldn't get cream.

01:05:58.000 Yeah.

01:05:58.000 This bothered me.

01:05:59.000 End of the world.

01:06:00.000 Cream for my coffee.

01:06:01.000 And we went and I like heavy cream.

01:06:04.000 I don't like the half and half.

01:06:06.000 It's got a little sugar in it.

01:06:07.000 I don't know.

01:06:07.000 I want like fresh cream.

01:06:08.000 And we went to the store over a month.

01:06:11.000 Nothing.

01:06:12.000 And so I asked, I was like, how do you have none?

01:06:14.000 And they were like, it just doesn't come in.

01:06:15.000 And I'm like, yeah, but you got cheese and ice cream.

01:06:18.000 And they were like, I guess, you know, they're prioritizing, they're not prioritizing the heavy cream because it's like a special use case.

01:06:24.000 How many, how much, like, come on, if you go to the store and you want something with cream, you're going to get milk, you're going to get cheese, you're going to get yogurt, you're going to get ice cream.

01:06:32.000 Heavy whipping cream is probably one of the last things people get.

01:06:35.000 And not everybody puts cream in their coffee like that.

01:06:37.000 But when you're doing keto, you know, things like that, you're like, you want to use fresh heavy cream, less sugars, less, you know, milk particles and stuff.

01:06:44.000 They didn't have it.

01:06:45.000 So we had to go to a different store and we found a crummier version that spoiled much faster.

01:06:50.000 But that's something that really freaked me out because aside from the cream, were these little stars they put up everywhere that said $500 sign-on bonus all over the store.

01:06:59.000 I put it on my Instagram.

01:06:59.000 You can watch the video.

01:07:01.000 I'm like, Yo, something's wrong.

01:07:03.000 There's a bunch of some stuff.

01:07:05.000 Like, boy, do they got a lot of canned whipped cream.

01:07:08.000 But that's like corn syrup or something.

01:07:10.000 That's not, yeah.

01:07:11.000 That's oil.

01:07:13.000 Some of it, yeah, a lot of it.

01:07:14.000 Some of it's good though.

01:07:15.000 Some of it's, well, some of it's okay.

01:07:16.000 Depends on what you put in.

01:07:17.000 But I'm like, I just want fresh cream.

01:07:18.000 Like, I want to eat healthy and have...

01:07:21.000 I guess if you were to ask someone what they were going to buy first, they'd be like, I'll take the ready whip, you know, whipped cream bottle over the fresh cream.

01:07:28.000 You know what I mean?

01:07:28.000 So they're not prioritizing it.

01:07:30.000 Or the store wasn't getting it.

01:07:31.000 I went to a couple of stores, didn't have it.

01:07:33.000 Yeah.

01:07:33.000 We finally found a store that did.

01:07:35.000 We got a bunch.

01:07:36.000 It didn't last as long for whatever reason.

01:07:38.000 I don't know.

01:07:38.000 I'm like, we like the good organic stuff.

01:07:40.000 I mean, we've been doing this as a country for, you could argue, almost 400 years or not as a country, but as people on this land, our economy got to a stage of so well-oiled, so supply-line genius, so it is really Adam Smith in operations.

01:08:00.000 You know, there's always that expression, or a running joke in the economic world of how many Chinese restaurants can you have on one block in New York City?

01:08:09.000 And the answer is, As many as the market allows, right?

01:08:11.000 Like there is no rule, like we got to the point that yeah, you could get your heavy cream, your fresh whipping cream without even thinking about it because all these literally millions of invisible hands were all working together making things happen and all we needed was just this one big government that thought they knew better for your own good.

01:08:31.000 And we're never, it's gonna take a Another five years to recover from this.

01:08:36.000 I feel like we're in the Rat Utopia experiment.

01:08:38.000 You're familiar?

01:08:39.000 You guys are familiar with it?

01:08:40.000 Oh yeah.

01:08:40.000 No.

01:08:40.000 So we had Shane who writes our mysteries and tales of intrigue for TimCast.com.

01:08:46.000 The new shows, we're getting ready to launch soon.

01:08:48.000 the podcast version.

01:08:49.000 And one of the stories he wrote is about the rat utopia experiment and the, what is it,

01:08:53.000 the Kurt, Curtis Richter, was that his name?

01:08:55.000 I think that's his name, yeah.

01:08:56.000 The rat experiment, that's the hope experiment.

01:08:58.000 But the rat utopia was that he created a space, put the rats in it, gave them unlimited food

01:09:01.000 and water and said, do whatever you want.

01:09:03.000 And eventually they just went nuts, started killing each other.

01:09:10.000 There was one group called the Beautiful Ones that would just groom themselves and do nothing else.

01:09:14.000 They would all huddle in the same place.

01:09:15.000 Just behavior became very, very weird.

01:09:18.000 So what you're bringing up now, because I know we mentioned the experiment stuff quite a bit, but the point I'm trying to make is the idea that I'm put out over the fact I can't snap my fingers and get my cream, it's kind of insane, isn't it?

01:09:30.000 How about, back in the day, you had to actually go find a cream salesperson, or a farmer who had a dairy farm, and you'd be like spending a few days, or you'd know who the one person was who had it, and you'd be like, you know, oh hey honey, Jim says we should be ready to pick up our supply of cream, you know, in three days when it's ready.

01:09:50.000 And you just couldn't get it because it didn't exist.

01:09:52.000 Now we're so used to everything at our fingertips.

01:09:55.000 Yeah.

01:09:55.000 having an overabundance of food and unlimited supply of ridiculous things like cream of all things

01:09:59.000 and sugar candies and unlimited water and we are living in that utopia and that is the problem that

01:10:06.000 unfolds a lot of the the hyperbolic social ills that the left likes to say are dividing this

01:10:11.000 country you know systemic racism and and militants misogyny and sexism and the response often is we

01:10:19.000 live in the not to say that there are not ills in society we live in the time of such privilege

01:10:25.000 henry the eighth could not have imagined a more opulent lifestyle i know i mean you just look

01:10:29.000 at how many pillow options you have yeah you know like just one promo code poso like the

01:10:39.000 The level of privilege we have, the American poor, and this is another thing if you do any international travel, especially to developing countries or like real poverty, impoverished countries, which I have, Our poor have better quality of life than the vast majority, than literally half the world's population.

01:10:59.000 Not to say that we shouldn't make our poor more prosperous or allow them to become more prosperous, but the level of prosperity and opulence and comfort we have is almost sickening.

01:11:11.000 We went to the mall.

01:11:12.000 And, uh, I walked in and you get to the, like, there's a bunch of the, you know, doors and it's like, you get to the middle and there's the three stories.

01:11:19.000 So you've got two stories, but that is an even higher dome of glass.

01:11:22.000 And I was like, man, if you took someone from like the 1500s and brought them in, they would be like, for what God have you created this palace?

01:11:31.000 I'm like, no, I'm just buying sneakers.

01:11:34.000 I wanted to get an ice cream while I was here.

01:11:36.000 That's that, that is insane.

01:11:37.000 You look at these buildings.

01:11:38.000 Look at, I tweeted this the other day, look at, go to the grocery store and look at how many orange juice options you have based upon your tolerance of pulp.

01:11:47.000 And the people who are like, oh, I don't drink pulp.

01:11:50.000 It's like, you think we're going to abolish fossil fuels?

01:11:52.000 It's like, I only do grovestand, no pulp.

01:11:56.000 And no, we're never going to abolish fossil fuels because your lifestyle dictates that.

01:12:02.000 I like Fiji water.

01:12:03.000 Oh, crystal geyser. 0.76

01:12:04.000 I don't like this water.

01:12:05.000 This is one of the things we talked about with Alex Jones the other day was, I think we talked about it on the show, the chicken analogy I like to use.

01:12:13.000 I don't know if it was on the bonus segment, so we'll tell you the story and then I like to hear your thoughts on this.

01:12:19.000 So, you know, Alex likes to talk about the globalists and depopulation and the one world and all this stuff.

01:12:27.000 And I said, you know, what if it's true that we're overpopulating and like yeast in a bottle, we're consuming the sugars and farting ourselves to death.

01:12:35.000 And so when we talk about any kind of these conspiracies, here's what I say.

01:12:40.000 Imagine you have 10 chickens and chickens like to take dumps in their water, you know, firsthand.

01:12:44.000 Every morning when I clean out the water, I'm like, why do you keep doing this?

01:12:48.000 I've hung it from string, I've put it on blocks, I've made it so to the point that all you can do is put your beak in

01:12:56.000 it and they find a way to climb on top and turn around.

01:12:59.000 Every morning!

01:13:02.000 I'm impressed because sometimes I feel like it's on purpose and they're smarter than I think, but no, no, no, look. 0.99

01:13:06.000 They're smart enough to realize not to drink the crap water, but not smart enough to realize not to crap in it. 0.98

01:13:12.000 Now, imagine you had 10 chickens and they all keep crapping in the water. 0.98

01:13:16.000 So you go in one day and you do something to train them, stop doing it.

01:13:20.000 The next day, five of them stopped and five of them keep doing it.

01:13:24.000 Which chickens do you want to breed?

01:13:28.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:13:28.000 Not the ones that keep crapping in their water.

01:13:31.000 So I bring that up because you talk about the activists, the environmentalists, the ban fossil fuels and climate change and all that stuff.

01:13:39.000 Those are the people in cities who are the chickens crapping in their own water.

01:13:43.000 While they're being told to stop doing it and they keep doing it.

01:13:46.000 At a certain point, someone's going to be like, I'm not going to choose to put resources into those communities that keep crapping in their water and destroying everything.

01:13:53.000 I would rather invest in communities that are more self-sustaining.

01:13:55.000 Guess what?

01:13:55.000 It ain't in the cities.

01:13:57.000 So it's like you were saying, these people are saying, I want to ban all fossil fuels, but I need 17 variety of orange juice based on my pulp consumption.

01:14:05.000 And with peanut butter, everything.

01:14:07.000 Bread.

01:14:08.000 And we see that growth of rural America.

01:14:12.000 I mean, things are starting to shift.

01:14:14.000 Suburbs are becoming, which is why there is a big push to end suburbia.

01:14:17.000 Heck, Gavin Newsom, the day after he won re-election, changed zoning laws in California to ban single-house dwelling zoning laws.

01:14:25.000 So neighborhoods that you could only build a single-family house, that's no longer gone because they have to get rid of that shift. They need people concentrated in the cities

01:14:34.000 because that concentrates their power.

01:14:35.000 But people who are able to, a lot of them are going to other states or just like I did, left,

01:14:41.000 I mean, 18 years in New York, 20 years in D.C. and now I live in the middle of the country because

01:14:47.000 I wanted to get the hell away from those policies. You want to be an environmentalist? 0.81

01:14:51.000 Make a homestead.

01:14:53.000 Grow as much of your own food as possible.

01:14:55.000 Tend to your own garden.

01:14:56.000 I mean, look, if you've got a septic system, in a lot of ways they're very self-sufficient.

01:15:00.000 You do have to get them pumped, but done right, that the bacteria can take care of things for you, plus you get well water, you can get some kind of, you can get renewable energy sources to offset your energy costs, and even remove yourself from the grid.

01:15:13.000 Yet you go to these cities, and they're the most wasteful.

01:15:16.000 They like the air conditioning costs for some of these cities is so absolutely insane because they're completely inefficient.

01:15:23.000 And I don't know if you guys have been in New York.

01:15:25.000 You ever see those big nitrogen tanks they have where they're blasting nitrogen underground and the vapor is coming up from the ground?

01:15:31.000 I think it's nitrogen.

01:15:32.000 What I was told and I fact check man this one because I did this was just scuttlebutt I heard from like a local guy in New York.

01:15:38.000 Is that the underground cable infrastructure is so old, it's overheating and melting.

01:15:43.000 So they just wheel in big tanks of nitrogen to blast.

01:15:47.000 And they blast it to cool the cable so they don't melt.

01:15:51.000 You've got infrastructure so old and decayed that we are wasting ridiculous amounts of energy to sustain this system and we keep building on top of it.

01:15:59.000 Those are the people that are voting nationally to implement rules on West Virginians who have like very little carbon footprint and tend to their own chickens and goats and grow their own corn or whatever.

01:16:10.000 They're the people who will, and I know friends who have done this and I do make fun of them so I apologize if anyone listening is that person, they are the people who will Postmates a bagel at 9am to their house.

01:16:22.000 And they will talk about sustainability and you said you know how many fossil fuels you just how much waste there is that you couldn't either walk yourself or just you didn't buy bread and make your own little toaster not only that but I really wanted they have really good bagels in this one place and they will spend eight I know people who have spent up to $18 for like a bagel with cream cheese Because that's just what they wanted for breakfast.

01:16:43.000 So it's like you're gonna abolish fossil fuels It's like Wall-E, you know, the big fat people sitting in the chairs.

01:16:51.000 I know the story about postmating the bagels, man.

01:16:54.000 I've seen in New York people being like, I've ordered a tea.

01:16:57.000 I've seen people order a bubble tea.

01:16:59.000 And I'm like, you had someone come on that little electric moped that consumes energy.

01:17:04.000 So you can have a bubble tea.

01:17:05.000 Yeah, and those are the classes we're building now.

01:17:07.000 So there's the elite class, there's the coding class, learn to code, and we will have this

01:17:11.000 enormous working class. 1.00

01:17:13.000 Now maybe one day you'll be able to post mates through artificial intelligence.

01:17:18.000 We're not there yet.

01:17:19.000 Someone is still cutting open the bagel and putting the cream cheese on it and handing

01:17:22.000 it off to the guy.

01:17:24.000 Maybe we're, what, 20 years away from all that being automatic, but as of now, we still

01:17:28.000 need, actually, it seems like we need the Uber world.

01:17:31.000 We need a growing, unskilled labor, which is the, not pejorative sense, I mean it in the economic sense, unskilled labor workforce.

01:17:39.000 And why are we importing tens of thousands of them every month?

01:17:42.000 Because that keeps part of that economy going, and people like it.

01:17:46.000 I'm thinking about human behavior, and you mentioning, like, maybe we'll get to the point of the AI making the bagel or whatever.

01:17:51.000 In Star Trek, you know, Captain Picard goes, T, Earl, computer, T, Earl Grey, hot, and then it just appears in front of him.

01:17:58.000 I wonder about what humans would do if we had access to that stuff.

01:18:02.000 I think people would gorge themselves to death.

01:18:04.000 I think it would, so I think there's a lot of people in this country that have the ability to eat whatever they want, whenever they want, because they have access to enough resources to do so.

01:18:12.000 And I don't even mean that much money.

01:18:14.000 Somebody makes, you know, mid five figures and they decide to use their access cash to just eat, eat, eat, eat, eat.

01:18:20.000 But there's a lot of people who don't have the money to spend to do that, and so they end up thinner simply by virtue of not having the ability to buy the food.

01:18:29.000 What if everybody had the ability to walk up to something and just be like, entire cheesecake, caramel on top, extra whipped cream, pumpkin spice.

01:18:37.000 and you could just keep doing it and they would gorge themselves.

01:18:39.000 I wonder if people would just, if they really did have that kind of level of technology,

01:18:43.000 if we reduced the cost to near zero or did a UBI and we had AI producing everything,

01:18:48.000 I think people would be like Wally.

01:18:49.000 They'd sit in chairs and they'd be like, I washed myself with a rag on a stick.

01:18:54.000 You know, that would be an awesome, kind of cruel, but an awesome experiment.

01:19:01.000 Like imagine if you had to take someone who was willing to, you know, they had to work from home.

01:19:06.000 You're going to live in this room for a month.

01:19:08.000 Here's your job, blah, blah, blah.

01:19:09.000 But when you ask for something, you're going to get it.

01:19:12.000 We can't do it instantaneously.

01:19:14.000 We need a little bit of time.

01:19:16.000 But it's lunchtime, what do you want to eat?

01:19:18.000 It's dinnertime, what do you want for dinner?

01:19:19.000 It's breakfast, what do you want for dinner?

01:19:21.000 It's movie time, what do you want to watch?

01:19:22.000 And you would wonder if after a day it would be like, I want to watch porn, I want to eat this, I want to eat this, I want to eat this.

01:19:29.000 And you'd love to know if after the month the person would come out dead, or if at a certain point they'd be like, I feel disgusting.

01:19:37.000 Like, we all do that, you know?

01:19:38.000 Like, bachelor party weekend and you're drinking in an open bar, even at a wedding.

01:19:43.000 But at a point, most of us are like, you know what?

01:19:45.000 Can I just have a water? 0.99

01:19:48.000 I'd be curious to see, if you could do it with multiple folks, how many would just become that gluttonous, disgusting slob? 0.99

01:19:57.000 Five folks from the city and five folks from the country? 0.95

01:19:59.000 Yeah, I'd love to see... I like to think that a certain... I know... Sounds like a reality show we should fund.

01:20:06.000 It does!

01:20:09.000 Now, I know what my tastes are, and I don't know what I would ask for, but I like to think that by the third day, I'd be like, well, I'm not going to have dessert again.

01:20:16.000 This is brilliant.

01:20:17.000 But would I?

01:20:18.000 Utopia Island.

01:20:20.000 And we take five people from the city, five people from the country, and every morning they can request anything they want, At all.

01:20:31.000 I mean, obviously you can't get a jet.

01:20:33.000 The point is, in terms of your living, you have access to any food, any entertainment.

01:20:37.000 You just have to trick them, as all good sociologists, all good experiments do.

01:20:41.000 You have to trick them to think that the experiment is about something else.

01:20:44.000 They can't know it's about their food choices.

01:20:46.000 And part of this, you can ask for whatever you want to eat.

01:20:49.000 But the experiment of the ten of you on this, as you have to build...

01:20:52.000 it's a reality show on this reality show is something else and they don't know

01:20:56.000 that this is this is really the experiment I I would fund that I think

01:21:01.000 that would result to that I would love to see what we would we would we would

01:21:07.000 tell people like the goal of utopia island is to perform tasks and do acts

01:21:12.000 and then And as an aside, we'd say, you know, put in any order for

01:21:17.000 any kind of food you want.

01:21:18.000 If you have a craving for a blue cheeseburger, onion rings, anything like that you want to

01:21:21.000 steak, let us know and we will get whatever food, whatever entertainment.

01:21:25.000 One challenge because we want people working on the show to be comfortable.

01:21:28.000 I'd love to see if it confirms stereotypes.

01:21:30.000 Like, does the guy from Boston always like lobster and chowder?

01:21:33.000 Like, you know, does the guy from, like, is the Italian always, like, getting pasta?

01:21:37.000 I'd love to know if it, like, confirms.

01:21:39.000 I think region more than ethnicity.

01:21:40.000 You know, like somebody who grew up in Boston.

01:21:42.000 So, so Pesobic is always getting a cheesesteak. 1.00

01:21:45.000 You have to measure for them.

01:21:47.000 If you eat a sandwich and I see you eating it, there might be something in my mind where you're like, I want that.

01:21:51.000 And if I smell onions on your breath, I'm like, man, I want onions.

01:21:54.000 So you'd have to isolate them when they eat and then make sure that you don't smell each other's foods.

01:21:58.000 No, not at all.

01:21:59.000 Literally at any time you can ask us for food and we will get it for you.

01:22:02.000 But then they might not go with what they want, just whatever they see in the moment.

01:22:05.000 That's irrelevant.

01:22:06.000 Well, it might taint the study.

01:22:08.000 Why would it taint the study?

01:22:08.000 Because you don't know what their real choi- Like, it changes what their choices are.

01:22:11.000 There is no real choice.

01:22:12.000 It's literally like, when people are in a group, when people are on an island, that's not the point of the study.

01:22:18.000 The study is, we will give you access to any food at any time of the day.

01:22:21.000 You let us know.

01:22:23.000 We're here for you.

01:22:24.000 Just let us know what you want.

01:22:24.000 Literally, you name it.

01:22:25.000 You want tiramisu?

01:22:26.000 We'll get you tiramisu.

01:22:27.000 You want a whole cheesecake?

01:22:28.000 We'll get you a whole cheesecake.

01:22:29.000 Just literally tell us.

01:22:31.000 It would be curious to know if, like, your tendency is to be healthy.

01:22:33.000 Like, I'm not gonna smell your salad and suddenly crave salad.

01:22:36.000 But like, if you smell my chocolate cake, would you suddenly be like, that smells really good.

01:22:40.000 You know what?

01:22:40.000 I'll have chocolate cake.

01:22:41.000 People go in the fridge and they're like, what's in here?

01:22:43.000 Ah, I'll eat that.

01:22:45.000 But imagine if it was anything.

01:22:48.000 I'm thinking a frisee salad with cranberry, pine nuts, and spirulina.

01:22:52.000 There you go.

01:22:53.000 I think you'd be surprised.

01:22:54.000 I think there'd be a lot of people... She's an exotic dancer. 1.00

01:22:57.000 It's a seaweed, and it's one of the healthiest foods on earth.

01:22:59.000 Now here's... Spirulina. 0.90

01:23:00.000 It's like an algae, isn't it?

01:23:01.000 Yeah.

01:23:02.000 Here's the funny thing.

01:23:02.000 Could you imagine?

01:23:03.000 Somebody comes in, like a working class person, moderately, like average weight, and they're like, I can order anything?

01:23:09.000 You literally tell us what you want to eat while you're on the show.

01:23:11.000 We take care of you so that you can... Oh!

01:23:14.000 I'll take a T-bone, I'll take mashed potatoes and some asparagus.

01:23:17.000 He's like, you got it.

01:23:18.000 We come back.

01:23:19.000 I'll take a dessert.

01:23:20.000 You know, you want a dessert?

01:23:21.000 Oh, absolutely.

01:23:22.000 You want apple pie, ice cream?

01:23:23.000 Done, done.

01:23:23.000 Pumpkin spice, you know, cake, carrot cake or whatever.

01:23:27.000 And then by the end of the, by the end of the month, they're like 40 pounds overweight.

01:23:32.000 That's disgusting.

01:23:33.000 I think you'd find it.

01:23:34.000 I think you'd be curious to see if people would gorge themselves, if they were given unlimited options.

01:23:40.000 The question is, does the human individual have the ability to regulate itself, or is it, again, we're back to Locke and Hobbes, or is it the society that regulates you?

01:23:50.000 Is it you looking at me when we have 2 p.m.

01:23:53.000 check-in that you're like, whoa, Turner, you got a little chunky there.

01:23:56.000 Am I not eating because I see that you see that I got fat, or am I not doing it because of my own self-awareness?

01:24:03.000 Here's another idea.

01:24:04.000 We also have a plant who does nothing but eat non-stop.

01:24:08.000 Not slovenly, not like, but just being like, whenever they see him, he's got fried chicken.

01:24:13.000 Like Brad Pitt in Oceans 11.

01:24:14.000 Did you ever notice in Oceans 11?

01:24:16.000 He's always eating something.

01:24:17.000 So they walk in, and he's got a thing of mac and cheese, and he's like, hey, how's it going?

01:24:21.000 What's been going on?

01:24:22.000 And then the guy walks in, he's got a cheesecake, and he's eating, and then someone says, I'll take a cheesecake too.

01:24:27.000 And then this person secretly is just exercising full speed.

01:24:31.000 And, you know, so they're always looking really good, but they're always eating nonstop.

01:24:35.000 We could do it with animals.

01:24:36.000 We could try, you know, there are like, you know, there are certain dog breeds that they call free feed that people that just leave food.

01:24:41.000 And when the dog is hungry, it will go.

01:24:43.000 If I did that to my dogs, they would eat until they threw up. 0.80

01:24:47.000 They would eat the throw up.

01:24:48.000 They would eat.

01:24:49.000 And that's, and they like, you cannot have food around.

01:24:52.000 They wouldn't ever eat my food, but, but.

01:24:52.000 They're very well trained.

01:24:56.000 I'd be curious to see if humans have that, like, certain dog breeds.

01:25:00.000 Some do and some don't.

01:25:01.000 Can I legally do a chicken utopia experiment?

01:25:03.000 Oh! 0.60

01:25:04.000 So we're building the new Chicken City.

01:25:06.000 Yeah.

01:25:06.000 It's gonna be fully enclosed because we have a fox.

01:25:09.000 Yeah.

01:25:09.000 And then a hawk just recently attacked, and then Roberto went like, and then all the chickens ran inside.

01:25:14.000 So we're like, okay, we'll do the chicken run.

01:25:15.000 We'll do the whole thing covered.

01:25:17.000 You can walk in it, but you have to go through the door.

01:25:17.000 Yeah.

01:25:20.000 What if we just let them keep having babies? 1.00

01:25:22.000 Well, you know what I'm gonna do?

01:25:23.000 I wanna get a big, huge, maybe like 50-gallon food thing.

01:25:27.000 That we just fill up, and they just eat the food, and the food comes down, and they keep eating it.

01:25:31.000 I think it doesn't spoil as long as it stays dry, right?

01:25:33.000 Yeah, I've, my chickens, I have every now and then gone out, and there's still food in their bowls, cause they're just, they like to peck at the grass, and they like to peck at bugs.

01:25:42.000 I don't see them eating to the point that the food is gone.

01:25:45.000 My dogs, yes.

01:25:47.000 But the point is, if we give chickens access to unlimited food and water, and they keep having babies, will it turn out like the rat utopia?

01:25:55.000 Will chickens, as a different kind of animal, have a different... ZW or something?

01:26:02.000 I don't know.

01:26:03.000 Will they have a different reaction to a limited space, but unlimited resources?

01:26:09.000 No.

01:26:12.000 Even your three chickens that are too small to be in the public but are a little too big, they want out because their space is getting small.

01:26:20.000 So yeah, if their space is limited, they'll start getting crazy when they get on top of each other.

01:26:25.000 Yeah.

01:26:26.000 Yeah, that's the challenge because we got three of the babies are fully feathered now. 0.98

01:26:30.000 I think they're at seven weeks about.

01:26:32.000 But they're not big enough to be with the rest of the chickens because they'll get attacked.

01:26:35.000 That's the problem when they start breeding at different times. 0.96

01:26:37.000 That's why you have to control your roosters. 0.99

01:26:40.000 You know, we can't do that all these different ages and it's too much.

01:26:42.000 We just we let the older ones out of the enclosed coop and then close the door. 0.58

01:26:47.000 So they're in the run.

01:26:48.000 And then with the little ones out in the enclosed section to run and do chicken stuff.

01:26:52.000 Yeah, it's a tight space in there for them.

01:26:53.000 Plus we have five black star babies now.

01:26:56.000 They're special.

01:26:57.000 Special breed.

01:26:57.000 Yeah, the girls, every inch of their bodies are black except one of them has one white feather.

01:27:04.000 That's a big part of the rat utopia experiment is the lack of space. 0.77

01:27:08.000 They're stuck in a space.

01:27:09.000 So they have infinite stuff.

01:27:11.000 That might not be a problem.

01:27:12.000 Like New York, right?

01:27:13.000 Your space is limited.

01:27:14.000 Like Earth.

01:27:16.000 We're stuck here right now.

01:27:17.000 Yeah, people keep trying to go higher, but you're still Yeah, you're still stuck.

01:27:21.000 Yeah, if we could somehow remove that from the study.

01:27:24.000 That'd be interesting study Might not be any social issues at that point.

01:27:28.000 I have tried to convince people as you know, I'm About two hours outside of DC and I've had a lot of friends come for the weekend and they talk about how it's Almost therapeutic, right?

01:27:39.000 I think I think one of the biggest problems with DC or New York or any city is that many people never get a chance to not live in that environment.

01:27:47.000 When I think of New York, I think of gray, like looking through gray air because it's so dirty from the I just imagine the grayness of that city.

01:27:55.000 And I think it's the brake dust.

01:27:57.000 And the lack of light, right?

01:27:59.000 When every building is 70, 80, 90 stories, you live in the shadows a lot.

01:28:05.000 It's very hard to get sunlight.

01:28:06.000 That's why people flock to Central Park.

01:28:08.000 There's not a lot of sunlight, especially in the Midtown area.

01:28:11.000 So, yeah, you're surrounded by huge, tall... Oh, New York.

01:28:16.000 People don't understand this.

01:28:18.000 It's tough.

01:28:18.000 It's a tough place to live.

01:28:19.000 It's worth seeing once.

01:28:20.000 Imagine an apartment.

01:28:22.000 Where your only window, when you look out, is a brick wall.

01:28:24.000 Why?

01:28:25.000 Because it's within like five feet of the other building.

01:28:28.000 There's nothing to see outside your window but a brick wall and you're locked in there for like a year.

01:28:32.000 And you're paying $4,800 a month for it.

01:28:35.000 People lose their minds.

01:28:36.000 It's like solitary confinement.

01:28:37.000 But they don't know they're losing their minds.

01:28:39.000 That's the crazy part.

01:28:40.000 A lot of times when you're losing your mind, you don't realize you're losing your mind.

01:28:42.000 It's just things to start to seem.

01:28:44.000 You get angry at stuff, you get less tolerant, you know, that's losing your mind.

01:28:48.000 That's an aspect of losing your mind.

01:28:49.000 Yeah.

01:28:50.000 Yeah, getting back to that theme that we always return to of people getting mean.

01:28:53.000 Just wait and see how mean they are when the prices keep going up and the scarcity really kicks into place.

01:28:58.000 That's when you're going to see a lot of mean spiritedness just escalate.

01:29:01.000 Yeah, if Alex Jones is right, then I hope you guys are getting out of cities.

01:29:07.000 Done.

01:29:07.000 Yeah.

01:29:08.000 Yeah, people are just nicer in the cities, and quite frankly, when I go grocery shopping, everyone's got a gun.

01:29:14.000 Nicer in the cities?

01:29:16.000 Outside of the cities.

01:29:16.000 Yeah.

01:29:17.000 You know, when I go to the grocery store, you know a lot of people are concealed carry, and it's just nicer.

01:29:22.000 People are friendlier because they're a country folk.

01:29:26.000 And like I said, I'm a city kid.

01:29:28.000 I'm a multi-generation city kid.

01:29:30.000 I'm becoming a country boy.

01:29:35.000 I'm happier in the country than I ever could have been in the city.

01:29:38.000 It's just a different lifestyle.

01:29:39.000 It's funny when you're with city people in the country and they'll point out to you someone's gun.

01:29:43.000 They'll be like, yeah, that guy's got a gun.

01:29:45.000 And I'll be like, okay, yeah.

01:29:47.000 They'll be like, yeah, he's got a gun.

01:29:49.000 And I'll be like, I know half the people here probably do.

01:29:50.000 You just can't see him.

01:29:52.000 You mean he's open carrying?

01:29:53.000 We can see.

01:29:54.000 You don't need to tell us.

01:29:57.000 But you know, I'm not going to pretend to be some country boy either.

01:29:59.000 I grew up in the city.

01:30:00.000 I've only been out here for a year.

01:30:02.000 I was in Northeast Ohio.

01:30:03.000 I grew up in the suburbs, Chicago Falls, and I kind of always loathed the country because it was like less technology.

01:30:09.000 You know, I like to play video games.

01:30:09.000 We'd go to my aunt and uncle's house in the country and it was like, it was just boring.

01:30:13.000 There was cows, you know, there were fields.

01:30:15.000 It smelled stinky and there was nothing to do for me because I was a city boy.

01:30:18.000 But then I went to the city.

01:30:19.000 I loved it.

01:30:20.000 Then the internet came out and now it's like fresh air.

01:30:22.000 Fresh air is number one.

01:30:23.000 Yeah.

01:30:24.000 Fresh air, man.

01:30:25.000 I smelled that dank stank for so long in New York City, it started to destroy my mind.

01:30:31.000 And silence, which I think we as a society have less tolerance for silence.

01:30:36.000 That's why, how many people couldn't get through the entire movie?

01:30:40.000 What was the movie where they weren't allowed to talk?

01:30:41.000 Because the aliens?

01:30:42.000 A Silent Place.

01:30:43.000 People I know couldn't get through it because it was just, it was too quiet.

01:30:47.000 Interesting.

01:30:48.000 How many people walk with... You know what's amazing?

01:30:50.000 When you see people driving with earbuds in.

01:30:53.000 And you don't even put on the radio.

01:30:55.000 People are constantly... And our younger people... I'm gonna sound like an old fogey, you young folks.

01:31:00.000 But our younger people are bombarded by sounds non-stop.

01:31:05.000 Internet, phone, music.

01:31:07.000 Silence is key to any thoughtful person.

01:31:11.000 And you don't find a lot of silence in the city.

01:31:13.000 When we go outside at night, we hear really weird things.

01:31:15.000 There's weird bugs.

01:31:16.000 Yeah.

01:31:17.000 Kind of fun.

01:31:19.000 There's stink bugs, right?

01:31:20.000 Aren't they coming back?

01:31:20.000 Oh, stink bugs are back.

01:31:21.000 Yeah, they are.

01:31:22.000 They're back.

01:31:22.000 You know what the funny thing is?

01:31:23.000 Stink bugs are back.

01:31:24.000 I have the air conditioning on, like, super cold. 0.95

01:31:26.000 Invasive species from China.

01:31:27.000 I have AC on full blast.

01:31:32.000 Oh, I know.

01:31:32.000 And it's like 75 outside and 60 in the house, and they're still trying to come in, and then they get cold and fall to the ground.

01:31:37.000 Like, why are you coming into my freezing house?

01:31:41.000 I don't understand that.

01:31:42.000 I guess it's instinct.

01:31:43.000 They go inside to escape, you know, for the winter, but then it's colder inside.

01:31:47.000 The good news is chickens absolutely love stink bugs.

01:31:49.000 I was just gonna say that.

01:31:50.000 Try to catch them and they play like stink bug rugby.

01:31:53.000 You just take one, you give it a little shake so he's stunned.

01:31:56.000 Oh, sorry, this is mean.

01:32:22.000 You don't want to miss the hour and a half we did with Alex Jones yesterday.

01:32:24.000 That was fun.

01:32:25.000 That was a big conversation.

01:32:26.000 We knew it was going to go long because I have no control over the conversation when Alex Jones is in the room.

01:32:31.000 But let's see what we got here.

01:32:32.000 I do want to shout out Toby Walker who said, Malort is actually amazing.

01:32:36.000 OMG.

01:32:37.000 Well, we have a lot of Malort. 1.00

01:32:40.000 And just wanted you to know.

01:32:42.000 Maybe we'll open it on the vlog and talk about it.

01:32:45.000 What is it exactly?

01:32:46.000 It is a wormwood liqueur.

01:32:48.000 Oh, cool.

01:32:48.000 Gross.

01:32:49.000 Yeah, and apparently it tastes really, really bad. 0.96

01:32:51.000 Alright.

01:32:52.000 And my response was like, I think all alcohol tastes bad, so I'm not sure this would be a special... It's rotten.

01:32:58.000 I took a sauna a few weeks ago.

01:33:00.000 Yeah, it's like rotten food is what alcohol is.

01:33:02.000 And then I got out of the sauna and I felt so clean and I sipped on beer and it tasted rotten.

01:33:06.000 It was the first time I ever sipped on alcohol and it actually tasted like rotten food.

01:33:09.000 I was like...

01:33:10.000 Yeah, I don't like alcohol at all.

01:33:12.000 I think it all tastes really bad.

01:33:13.000 What do you think the sauna did to your taste buds?

01:33:15.000 It cleaned out a bunch of something.

01:33:17.000 I don't know.

01:33:19.000 That's awesome.

01:33:20.000 I mean, I sipped a little bit more and I could no longer taste the rottenness.

01:33:23.000 It just tasted like beer again.

01:33:24.000 Wow.

01:33:25.000 That's crazy.

01:33:26.000 All right.

01:33:26.000 Dogbert says, Tim, I sent you an email about NFT-ing your show with Astro Zero NFT.

01:33:31.000 We would love to work with you.

01:33:33.000 We're actually planning on doing, uh, we have portraits of all of our guests and creating digital NFTs of all of the portraits from all of our guests.

01:33:41.000 They're all autographed as well.

01:33:43.000 And Ian's working on that stuff.

01:33:45.000 It's very, very exciting.

01:33:46.000 Very exciting.

01:33:47.000 We've got like, I didn't see, we have an Alex Jones one though, I'm pretty sure.

01:33:51.000 We have an Alex Jones one, we have Polaroids that we take, and it's really an opportunity to create lots of crazy little bits of art and then just sell them, you know?

01:33:58.000 But basically, I was explaining to somebody how revolutionary an NFT is.

01:34:03.000 So when it came to cryptocurrency, cryptocurrencies for the most part are fungible.

01:34:08.000 Back in the day of the internet, you wrote a song.

01:34:10.000 That song could be copied infinity.

01:34:13.000 You could keep copying it and sharing it around.

01:34:15.000 Then cryptocurrency came along and all of a sudden there were hard digital assets that could not be copied, but many of them.

01:34:20.000 With NFTs, you have one existing object.

01:34:24.000 So you could make like one of 30.

01:34:26.000 So when we take a digital version of these portraits that are autographed, there is only one digital version in existence.

01:34:33.000 There's a physical version and a digital version.

01:34:36.000 And so we're creating the digital version that only one person can own at a time.

01:34:39.000 But someone can still copy the picture.

01:34:41.000 So you can still save the picture and have a copy of yourselves, but only one person will own the original digital copy.

01:34:47.000 Exactly.

01:34:47.000 So a copy of a famous painting, sure, people might want to buy it to hang up, but it's not the original.

01:34:51.000 Right, exactly.

01:34:52.000 The original is the one worth 50 million bucks.

01:34:54.000 So having that original NFT... Sanctioned by the author.

01:34:57.000 That's right.

01:34:59.000 All right, let's read.

01:35:00.000 Michael Fernando Melo says, San Jose got worse. 0.99

01:35:03.000 People pee, crap, and leave used adult prophylaxis in front of my home. 0.99

01:35:08.000 Yuck. 1.00

01:35:09.000 Lots of homeless.

01:35:10.000 A man was murdered a block from my home.

01:35:12.000 I've joined the Bay Area Mises Caucus to become a delegate.

01:35:16.000 Need to leave Cali.

01:35:17.000 Cool.

01:35:18.000 Wow.

01:35:18.000 That sounds terrible.

01:35:19.000 Get out.

01:35:21.000 Yeeks.

01:35:22.000 All right.

01:35:23.000 Let's see. 0.98

01:35:23.000 Shooting on a shot but a pressure. 0.98

01:35:26.000 Batacaf care says. 0.78

01:35:27.000 Yay.

01:35:27.000 This is for Sour Patch Lids passing up Sour Patch Kids.

01:35:30.000 Yes.

01:35:30.000 Thank you.

01:35:31.000 All right.

01:35:35.000 OregonLife says, Tim, you called me a coward last week.

01:35:38.000 You live in the middle of nowhere, hiding behind a camera, censored by big tech. 1.00

01:35:41.000 Take off the beanie, coward. 0.90

01:35:43.000 I mean, if I was really a coward, why wouldn't I just do, like, political consulting for big networks where I can tell them, like, here's how you build a big network. 0.98

01:35:52.000 Go ahead and lie to people.

01:35:53.000 Why should I challenge the establishment and put a risk on my neck?

01:35:56.000 I'll tell you what, if I wanted to work as hard as I do, why wouldn't I just make, I don't know, like a Minecraft channel?

01:36:02.000 Why bother getting involved in the culture war and Defending liberty and freedom and critical thought, there are a lot of people who would prefer to chop the tree down today so that they may have a comfortable chair to sit in tomorrow.

01:36:18.000 And there are a lot of people that would plant a tree whose shade they know they will never sit beneath so that their children will have a beautiful tree with fruit and shade.

01:36:27.000 And just sit on the ground.

01:36:28.000 Let's just sit on the ground instead.

01:36:29.000 Yeah, I'm down to grow some trees.

01:36:31.000 Chairs don't last forever.

01:36:32.000 What I mean is, you know, people would say, I am going to sacrifice my principles today so that I can live comfortably today as well.

01:36:42.000 And that's not a good idea.

01:36:44.000 If I really wanted to make tons of money, I could have just stayed working for Disney.

01:36:48.000 I could have said, you got it, guys.

01:36:50.000 Put me on whatever TV show you want.

01:36:52.000 I will play ball.

01:36:53.000 No problems from me. 0.99

01:36:55.000 Instead, I said, hey, you guys are hypocrites and liars, and I'm not going to lie on camera. 0.99

01:36:59.000 And they went, OK, well, then you can't do anything, I guess. 0.99

01:37:02.000 And I was like, OK.

01:37:04.000 And I was like, can I quit?

01:37:04.000 No.

01:37:05.000 And I was like, well, OK.

01:37:06.000 Then my contract ended, and I was like, I'm quitting.

01:37:08.000 They're like, OK.

01:37:09.000 And there you go.

01:37:11.000 So, I don't know.

01:37:12.000 You know, you do what you gotta do.

01:37:15.000 Billy Long says, joins stream late. 0.98

01:37:19.000 Ian, quote, we could actually have a prostitute on the show. 1.00

01:37:21.000 Oh, you got there right in time. 0.98

01:37:22.000 There we go.

01:37:28.000 Leguma Fagion says, Israel has been developing a laser replacement for Iron Dome called the Iron Beam.

01:37:35.000 It should be up by the new year.

01:37:37.000 The lack of funding for Iron Dome may accelerate the development of the system, and we may see it in action sooner.

01:37:42.000 Wow.

01:37:42.000 A laser replacement would be substantially faster and more efficient.

01:37:45.000 Hardcore.

01:37:46.000 You would probably not even see it.

01:37:47.000 It would be infrared.

01:37:48.000 All that would happen is the rockets from Gaza would go pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.

01:37:51.000 Because things would go ch-ch-ch-ch-ch. 0.98

01:37:54.000 That'd be cool.

01:37:55.000 Wow.

01:37:57.000 Yeah, laser weapons, unlike in the movies, travel at the speed of light.

01:38:00.000 In the movies, they're slower than bullets, which is the weirdest thing.

01:38:03.000 And I never understood.

01:38:04.000 Ah, yes.

01:38:07.000 Agreed.

01:38:07.000 Yes.

01:38:07.000 Thank you.

01:38:07.000 Apologies.

01:38:07.000 Tabor says birthing persons of the night. Ah, yes agreed.

01:38:11.000 Thank you. Apologies apologies Latham crafts is a real discussion on legal sex work

01:38:17.000 work would be interesting.

01:38:18.000 It would be interesting.

01:38:19.000 You should talk to Alice Little, who is the most successful legal sex worker in Nevada. 1.00

01:38:23.000 Yes, I think it would be important to talk about.

01:38:28.000 Jeremiah Jensen says, Hey Tim and crew, I finally joined the members page on Timcast.

01:38:31.000 Tim and crew take off the YouTube filter and show their real true opinions.

01:38:34.000 It's a great show.

01:38:35.000 Everyone should join.

01:38:36.000 I'll put it this way.

01:38:38.000 We on this show, we are careful about the arbitrary editorial guidelines of YouTube.

01:38:45.000 But...

01:38:47.000 At least I'll say this.

01:38:48.000 We try to make sure anything we talk about on this show is true and honest opinions.

01:38:53.000 But if we're going to talk about certain issues, we want to be open, and we're worried about getting shut down or censorship, we put it on TimCast.com.

01:39:01.000 So there is a conundrum to YouTube being censorious and violating the rights of people to express themselves.

01:39:09.000 I suppose the challenge is YouTube is the culture war battleground.

01:39:12.000 It is.

01:39:13.000 We can say on principle, I quit, and then completely lose all resources and access and influence in the culture war.

01:39:19.000 Or we can say, I'm going to reallocate a large portion of the workday towards a private place, a speakeasy as it were, and then show people on YouTube, here's how you find the speakeasy, and here are the ideas where you can go.

01:39:32.000 And more importantly, When people are like, Jim, you know, you're on YouTube and you should quit.

01:39:36.000 And it's like, yeah, and I had Alex Jones on three times.

01:39:38.000 I've had Steve Bannon on twice.

01:39:39.000 You know, they, they can't do their own YouTube channel.

01:39:41.000 So at the very least we're able to provide some kind of safety boat where ideas can still happen, even if people disagree with them.

01:39:48.000 It's not perfect.

01:39:49.000 You know, I wouldn't, I would like to get off YouTube and we're working towards building up TimTaps, TimGast.com for that reason.

01:39:53.000 But I still think there's value in having a platform where we can have guests like Alex Jones and Steve Bannon, who actually aren't a lot on the platform.

01:40:00.000 They're not allowed to have their own platform, but we can host them.

01:40:04.000 All right.

01:40:05.000 Brandon Taylor says, have you guys thought to start a record label to add another branch to the culture that you are building?

01:40:10.000 Or a separate channel promoting bands?

01:40:12.000 Yes.

01:40:13.000 Just not now.

01:40:15.000 You know, so we have to get to that point.

01:40:17.000 Yeah, it seems like the age of labels is kind of coming to a close.

01:40:20.000 Record labels, you know, trying to snag someone and profit off of them is kind of insidious.

01:40:24.000 I disagree.

01:40:25.000 I think there's a lot of people who are good at making music and not good at business.

01:40:27.000 Oh, that's for sure, yeah.

01:40:28.000 So they need help.

01:40:30.000 They need someone who can be like... As long as it's fair. 0.96

01:40:32.000 You know, they got rocked, I was gonna say.

01:40:35.000 Yeah, they got messed up by the record industry a lot.

01:40:37.000 Billy Joel lost like a decade of income from his record contract.

01:40:42.000 John Christian says, Elijah Schaefer and Sidney Watson, new show already taken down and suspended from YouTube just nine days in.

01:40:49.000 But a strike or what?

01:40:51.000 Two strikes. 0.97

01:40:52.000 Two strikes already?

01:40:53.000 Nine days.

01:40:56.000 What happened?

01:40:56.000 They were talking about child mask mandates and they showed studies or something.

01:41:00.000 That's what I saw from Sidney.

01:41:01.000 That's all it took.

01:41:02.000 Yep.

01:41:03.000 Doesn't take a lot.

01:41:04.000 Start up your website, you guys.

01:41:07.000 Get your after show going.

01:41:08.000 That's right.

01:41:09.000 It's the way forward.

01:41:10.000 Wow.

01:41:14.000 Nanya Business says, Tim Pool, quote, big tech and media won't attack the left because they'll literally show up and burn their houses down.

01:41:20.000 Also, Tim Pool, the right must not use violence because it doesn't help.

01:41:25.000 What you missed in that quote, Nanya Business, is Tim Pool, quote, also, The left controls the cultural institutions, and when Antifa gets violent, they're defended by big tech and by media.

01:41:35.000 The right doesn't have that opportunity and is fighting an uphill battle.

01:41:38.000 We're in an era where, after the Black Lives Matter riots happened, they went from 25% net support to 3%, losing 7% from the year prior, which were their gains.

01:41:50.000 They have generated a massive opposition because of their riots, so the last thing you need to do is create propaganda for your enemy, especially when you know That the right could go outside and wave a little flag and they'll scream, Nazis marched!

01:42:02.000 And Antifa can burn down a cafe killing a guy and they'll say, peaceful protest.

01:42:06.000 So when you gain control of cultural institutions, come back and make arguments.

01:42:11.000 Until then.

01:42:14.000 Alright, let's see.

01:42:16.000 Josh Fitzgerald says, Tim, you definitely have to do a show for us up here in Canada.

01:42:21.000 We somehow just elected the king of blackface again. 1.00

01:42:24.000 Yep.

01:42:25.000 That was really impressive to me.

01:42:26.000 I'm impressed.

01:42:26.000 I was surprised.

01:42:27.000 Canadians are big fans of that stuff.

01:42:28.000 I guess so.

01:42:29.000 Because the Canadian people like blackface, you know? 1.00

01:42:31.000 Because, you know, the reason I say that, and I genuinely mean this, The first time he did it, people complained about it.

01:42:37.000 And I'm like, oh, okay.

01:42:38.000 I mean, I understand why they're upset.

01:42:40.000 But what about like the third instant now?

01:42:42.000 Three?

01:42:43.000 Is it three?

01:42:43.000 So many photos.

01:42:44.000 Yeah.

01:42:46.000 And so it's like the second time you can have people, people chalk it up to like, okay, we get it.

01:42:50.000 It's bad.

01:42:50.000 But the third time and they vote for them, I'm like, they like it.

01:42:53.000 Yeah.

01:42:53.000 Come on.

01:42:54.000 Actions speak louder than words.

01:42:56.000 They like it.

01:42:57.000 They're racists.

01:42:58.000 If you did a show in Canada, what would it be about?

01:43:02.000 Sorry, I just had to.

01:43:03.000 For our Canadian friends, I had to say it.

01:43:09.000 You mean poutine?

01:43:11.000 I went to a poutine place in, I think it was in Montreal, and it's just a french fry place.

01:43:18.000 Like, they had bacon cheddar french fries, and I'm like, yeah, we have that at hot dog stands.

01:43:22.000 You know, and you can, the funny thing is, I'll tell you this.

01:43:25.000 Poutine in Canada is legit.

01:43:28.000 Yeah.

01:43:29.000 And I've gone to places in the U.S.

01:43:30.000 that claim to have poutine and it is not legit.

01:43:33.000 They do have french fries with like mozzarella balls on top.

01:43:35.000 Exactly.

01:43:35.000 That's not poutine.

01:43:36.000 It's not it.

01:43:37.000 Montreal is one of the best food scenes in the world, let alone in the continent.

01:43:41.000 The opportunity to work at this place called Dusty's in L.A.

01:43:43.000 and it was a French-Canadian restaurant.

01:43:45.000 Poutine, they're from Montreal.

01:43:46.000 Man, that was great.

01:43:47.000 Great poutine.

01:43:48.000 But I went to a poutine place and they had like, you know, barbecue pulled pork french fries.

01:43:53.000 And I'm like, a lot of that is just putting stuff on french fries.

01:43:56.000 We do that here, but it was really good.

01:43:59.000 Cheddar bacon, chicken bacon ranch, all that stuff.

01:44:02.000 Yeah, of course.

01:44:03.000 But I think the classic is where it is.

01:44:05.000 I'm not a big poutine connoisseur.

01:44:06.000 I'm sure all the Canadian people watching are like, dude, this is how you do it.

01:44:10.000 Maybe we should make some poutine.

01:44:11.000 Yeah, it's probably pretty easy to make.

01:44:13.000 Cheese curds.

01:44:13.000 Does your diet allow?

01:44:15.000 Can you eat fried french fries?

01:44:17.000 I didn't say I didn't.

01:44:18.000 I said we should make them.

01:44:19.000 Ian made a pawpaw bread.

01:44:22.000 I taste a little bit.

01:44:23.000 I'm not going to eat it.

01:44:24.000 When I would eat the poutine, I'd just kind of eat the cheese and the gravy.

01:44:27.000 That's a good idea.

01:44:29.000 I'd give you a lot of that.

01:44:31.000 That sounds really good.

01:44:32.000 I am hungry.

01:44:32.000 Yeah, dude.

01:44:35.000 Billy Long says Daniel absolutely killed it all tonight.

01:44:38.000 Love the show.

01:44:38.000 Keep it up, guys.

01:44:39.000 Ian shouts from Cleveland.

01:44:40.000 Go Browns!

01:44:41.000 Thanks, Billy Long.

01:44:42.000 I was actually just in Cleveland last week.

01:44:44.000 What'd you do over there?

01:44:46.000 Met a potential donor.

01:44:49.000 Oh, nice.

01:44:50.000 For my organization, yeah, because we're a non-profit.

01:44:52.000 We have to raise money.

01:44:53.000 I went to this steakhouse called Red, and it was fantastic.

01:44:56.000 Awesome.

01:44:57.000 Can people donate to your organization?

01:44:58.000 And Cleveland, yes they can, at powerofthefuture.com.

01:45:01.000 And Cleveland has, as my first time there, has stunning, beautiful, turn-of-the-century architecture.

01:45:06.000 It's incredible!

01:45:07.000 Growing up in the 80s, it wasn't that cool.

01:45:08.000 It was kind of run down, and then there's transformation in the 90s.

01:45:11.000 Man, I think it was the Cleveland Indians brought lots of money into that city in the 90s.

01:45:15.000 Some beautiful buildings.

01:45:17.000 Like, really beautiful buildings.

01:45:18.000 It was a great place.

01:45:19.000 It was great to walk around.

01:45:20.000 And I travel a ton for work.

01:45:22.000 Sorry, I know you want to get back to really quickly.

01:45:24.000 I travel a ton for work and all over the country all the time.

01:45:28.000 They are handling the homeless slash vagrancy problem better than almost any other city I've seen.

01:45:34.000 I was surprised how clean the streets of Cleveland were.

01:45:37.000 Whereas cities of comparable size, oh, holy cow.

01:45:41.000 But Cleveland, I was really impressed.

01:45:43.000 I thought it was great.

01:45:44.000 What is their leadership in Cleveland?

01:45:45.000 Are they really Democrat, too?

01:45:46.000 I have no idea.

01:45:48.000 I'd be curious.

01:45:48.000 We gotta find out now.

01:45:49.000 Yeah, no idea.

01:45:50.000 Yeah, me too.

01:45:51.000 All right, Sylvaren Sol says, Hey Tim, I got a friend who does frame and fact-checking on a daily basis.

01:45:55.000 I understand you're trying to start a non-profit for exactly that.

01:45:57.000 How would one apply?

01:45:59.000 And how would you say one would demonstrate expertise in order to get an interview?

01:46:02.000 Samples?

01:46:03.000 You would apply by going to jobs at timcast.com.

01:46:06.000 It's in an email.

01:46:07.000 And let me explain the plan.

01:46:10.000 We've already filed paperwork for our non-profit.

01:46:12.000 It will do fact-checking, it'll do a general analysis of news outlets, like, we're gonna take a hundred articles, we're gonna look for ethics violations using the SPJ's ethics, and then if it's an opinion piece but it's not labeled opinion, they get an X. If they're falsely framed or factually incorrect, they get an X. If they tried to harm people, like, here's the address of a man who posted a meme, then they'll get an X.

01:46:37.000 And then you'll see like out of the hundred articles we read, 37 were deemed to be ethical journalism.

01:46:43.000 And then we'll list a spreadsheet of all the articles, each with an explanation that you can read and assess yourself.

01:46:49.000 Now let me explain frame checking in the easiest way possible.

01:46:53.000 You just wait.

01:46:54.000 You might believe, well you guys probably don't because you're smart people, but there are a lot of people that believe that Border Patrol agents were whipping migrants.

01:47:02.000 Why?

01:47:03.000 Instead of publishing headlines that read, Border Patrol did not have whips and were not whipping migrants, all these outlets said, White House condemns Border Patrol whipping migrants.

01:47:14.000 Why?

01:47:15.000 Because the White House said, we condemn those horrible photos we saw.

01:47:19.000 Someone says, did you see the photos of migrants being whipped?

01:47:22.000 We saw them. 0.86

01:47:23.000 They're horrible.

01:47:24.000 We don't know the context. 0.96

01:47:25.000 Headline, White House condemns whipping migrants.

01:47:29.000 Framing it as though it actually happened.

01:47:31.000 Proper framing would be, No, comma.

01:47:36.000 Border Patrol agents did not have whips and did not whip migrants.

01:47:39.000 Within the story, you would say, the White House, when asked, not knowing the context, erroneously concluded that it happened and that the photos were shocking.

01:47:47.000 In reality, they were not equipped with whips.

01:47:49.000 They were spinning the reins.

01:47:50.000 That's it.

01:47:50.000 They were holding the reins with a horse, and when they move, they spin it, I guess.

01:47:54.000 They say it's a technique to keep people from getting too close to the horse.

01:47:56.000 Hmm.

01:47:57.000 Hmm.

01:47:57.000 That's it.

01:47:58.000 Interesting.

01:47:59.000 So that's framing.

01:48:00.000 It's really clever things you can do to trick people into believing it.

01:48:02.000 So they were snapping them with leather reins.

01:48:05.000 They weren't slapping anybody with anything.

01:48:07.000 No.

01:48:07.000 They didn't hit anybody with it?

01:48:08.000 No.

01:48:08.000 That's how you steal the horse.

01:48:10.000 You're saying they do it to keep people away as well?

01:48:12.000 They're on the horse and they'll spin it so that people don't come up to them.

01:48:14.000 They're not running up to them and whacking them with it.

01:48:17.000 So it's defensive versus offensive.

01:48:19.000 But it's like, yeah, spinning the reign is a big cry from having a whip and slapping somebody in the last minute.

01:48:27.000 Oh yeah, defending a horse is different than attacking a migrant. 0.96

01:48:29.000 But these media outlets know that they can legally get away with saying White House condemns Border Patrol agents whipping migrants because we didn't say they whipped migrants.

01:48:39.000 We said the White House condemned it.

01:48:41.000 We didn't say the White House claimed it was actually happening.

01:48:44.000 You know, it's like, I condemn Ian, you know, mercilessly beating children.

01:48:47.000 Of course.

01:48:48.000 But he didn't do it, too!

01:48:49.000 I didn't say he didn't do it!

01:48:50.000 Oh, you're right, you just condemned it.

01:48:52.000 Yeah, you know, I condemn it.

01:48:55.000 Wait.

01:48:55.000 But I didn't say he did it.

01:48:57.000 You made a good point, Daniel, that bad optics, bad media leads to bad policy often, and that they could end up making some dumb rule like Border Patrol can't be riding on horses anymore.

01:49:06.000 They probably will! 1.00

01:49:07.000 That's the stupidity that can come out of these misinformations. 1.00

01:49:11.000 All right. 1.00

01:49:12.000 Keep it up.

01:49:13.000 Jay Tiger says, Tim, with all the union workers protesting again today, they have shut down construction for two weeks now in Melbourne.

01:49:19.000 We had a 6.0 magnitude earthquake.

01:49:21.000 Who's going to fix all the broken buildings?

01:49:23.000 Wow.

01:49:24.000 Not the union workers.

01:49:25.000 Wow.

01:49:27.000 Melbourne just had a 6.2 magnitude earthquake?

01:49:29.000 In the past hour or two.

01:49:32.000 Oh gosh, like literally as we're talking.

01:49:34.000 6.0 is like not that bad.

01:49:36.000 That's not that bad.

01:49:39.000 You'll feel it.

01:49:40.000 Is it like magnitudes?

01:49:42.000 They're magnitudes.

01:49:43.000 Yeah, times 10.

01:49:44.000 Every number is times 10.

01:49:44.000 Exponential increase the higher you go.

01:49:46.000 Once you get to 7, it's Nasty, nasty, like bringing buildings down.

01:49:49.000 I don't know the full numbers, but I read somewhere that, like, the difference between a 9.0 and a 9.1 is the difference between, like, a 6.0 and, like, an 8.9.

01:49:57.000 Whoa.

01:49:58.000 You know, like, it's a massive difference between... Non-linear.

01:50:01.000 Yeah, yeah, exponential gains.

01:50:03.000 Scalar.

01:50:05.000 No Legs No Problem TV says just bought a new sidearm here in Kentucky.

01:50:10.000 Tragically lost in a boating accident.

01:50:11.000 Oh no!

01:50:12.000 As a concealed carrier in Kentucky, that's all you need to walk out with your new sidearm.

01:50:16.000 Sorry about your girl.

01:50:19.000 That's tragic.

01:50:20.000 Tragic boating accident!

01:50:21.000 Happens to the best of us.

01:50:24.000 Okay, let's see what we got.

01:50:26.000 John Kirsten says, we need Daniel and Post to take a trip back to Alaska with a film crew to make a documentary.

01:50:31.000 Make it happen, Tim.

01:50:32.000 Yeah, that'd be awesome.

01:50:33.000 You guys want to go to Alaska and film?

01:50:36.000 Actually, we have talked about doing it, especially to tell the story of those people in the Pebble Mine Village, and I think he's interested in doing it.

01:50:42.000 Oh, I think Jack's coming tomorrow?

01:50:45.000 Yeah, he's here tomorrow.

01:50:47.000 We'll talk after the show.

01:50:48.000 That'd be a great idea.

01:50:49.000 I think it'd be awesome.

01:50:51.000 Once they have Starlink up and running, we'll bring the whole crew!

01:50:54.000 We'll all go to Alaska, but you know...

01:50:57.000 We'll get there.

01:50:58.000 I hope.

01:50:59.000 Mr. Wiggles says, I know you like Star Trek, but I'm a Warhammer guy.

01:51:03.000 We are heading to a grim, dark future like Warhammer 40K, where there is no good, really, outside of you trying to survive.

01:51:09.000 But in the end, all sides are seen as bad.

01:51:11.000 Are you guys familiar with Warhammer?

01:51:14.000 I played a lot of Warhammer growing up.

01:51:15.000 Yeah, Warhammer 40,000, Space Marines, Grey Wolves.

01:51:19.000 It's like the humans have evolved.

01:51:21.000 I really don't know too much about the lore.

01:51:22.000 To be honest, there's this thing called tyranids.

01:51:24.000 They're like these ant, large ant creatures that have psychic powers.

01:51:28.000 That's pretty cool.

01:51:29.000 Oh, interesting.

01:51:30.000 XRunner55 says, shortages are hitting Baltimore.

01:51:32.000 Heavy cream is be zip code?

01:51:34.000 I don't know what that means.

01:51:35.000 Read the book.

01:51:36.000 By zip code.

01:51:37.000 Oh, is by zip code.

01:51:38.000 Read the book Sex and Culture and see how bad things are.

01:51:41.000 Interesting.

01:51:42.000 Really?

01:51:44.000 All right.

01:51:44.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:51:46.000 Danimal Bungie says, I would 100% take a Kamala Harris presidency over a Biden presidency, because at least then we could have a chief executive who has something to lose.

01:51:56.000 Interesting.

01:51:58.000 That's a thought.

01:51:59.000 Sneaky Breeze says, the Republic isn't over yet.

01:52:02.000 Article 5 was created in case the feds got hungry with power. 0.70

01:52:05.000 Please try to contact Mark Meckler to get on the show so he can promote the Convention of States Action.

01:52:10.000 Sounds very interesting.

01:52:11.000 I'm very interested in that.

01:52:12.000 I'll look this up.

01:52:14.000 Lacey Ferguson says, Joy Reid claims the only reason everyone is talking about Gabby Petito's death is because of missing white girl syndrome.

01:52:21.000 I can still feel my brain cells dying.

01:52:23.000 You know, so one of the Castle crew members, Brett, he made a point earlier, he was like, didn't we just have people riding nearly burning down the country because a black man was killed by the police?

01:52:35.000 I'm like, that's actually a really good point.

01:52:38.000 I do think the Gabby Petito story is, like, not national news.

01:52:43.000 I'm sure it's news in the local area and news to the family.

01:52:46.000 But when I've heard the story, and they were like, she was an influencer, I tried finding her pages, and it was difficult because she has, like, her Instagram got big afterwards.

01:52:55.000 There's no YouTube presence.

01:52:57.000 There's very limited social media presence relative to most people I know who are trying to be influencers.

01:53:02.000 So I was like, this seems weird.

01:53:03.000 Like what?

01:53:04.000 Terrible, terrible word.

01:53:05.000 Influencer is such a terrible word.

01:53:06.000 Yeah.

01:53:07.000 But like, you know, social media entrepreneur, you know, I, I was like, why can't I find anything on this person while they're claiming, they're claiming this person was like a prominent influencer.

01:53:17.000 And I'm like, I, but I guess it's tick tock was tick tock.

01:53:21.000 I don't know if she was on TikTok, but people on TikTok were. 1.00

01:53:23.000 What a waste of mind space, that stupid story. 0.99

01:53:26.000 I'm so angry that that is up and about. 1.00

01:53:29.000 Like, it's two idiots beat each other up. 1.00

01:53:31.000 One of them got killed, the other one, and like, now we're not talking about the surrender in Afghanistan? 1.00

01:53:35.000 Like, this is something to twist everybody's focus onto.

01:53:40.000 I when I saw it when I peep when the story started trending again like any big I just google-searched woman missing minus Gabby and there's just like an endless list of stories always local outlets were like 23 year old woman gone missing 25 year old woman missing with husband and I'm like This one for some reason caught fire.

01:53:56.000 I do wish joy read stopped getting any notoriety.

01:54:00.000 She barely has any viewers.

01:54:02.000 Most of her notoriety comes from people who talk about her and not actually her. 1.00

01:54:06.000 She's an awful, homophobic, racist, miserable, angry woman, and I just wish she would be 1.00

01:54:11.000 canceled. 1.00

01:54:12.000 And so I get frustrated when people say, do you know what Joey Reed said last night?

01:54:16.000 Because no one should be watching her.

01:54:20.000 I used to like that.

01:54:21.000 Wow.

01:54:21.000 Nicholas says went to see coheed and the used Saturday Burt McCracken of the used referred to the unvaxed as bioterrorists

01:54:28.000 The crowd cheered yelling things like let them die kick their ass and let's get them. The rhetoric is nuts 1.00

01:54:34.000 Genocide much Wow You see have you guys seen the the Kaiser Chiefs video?

01:54:42.000 No, you have not seen it Mm-hm.

01:54:46.000 It's the apocalypse, man.

01:54:48.000 So you have the guy from the Kaiser Chief, and he's got this big crowd of people in the thousands, and he goes, let me see your hands!

01:54:54.000 And then everyone raises their hands, he goes, wash your hands!

01:54:57.000 We all have clean hands!

01:54:59.000 What the heck?

01:54:59.000 Everyone's holding their hands up, and one guy's going like this, with his eyes closed, and like... That's third service nonsense.

01:55:04.000 And he goes, let's hear it!

01:55:06.000 How many of you have Pfizer?

01:55:08.000 Yeah!

01:55:09.000 What?

01:55:10.000 How many of you have Madonna?

01:55:13.000 He goes, let's hear it for the anti-vaxxers!

01:55:16.000 Boo! 0.83

01:55:18.000 The part when he was like, clean hands!

01:55:21.000 Y'all wash your hands!

01:55:23.000 I was like, wow, this guy's doing a service.

01:55:25.000 These people are testifying to Pfizer.

01:55:28.000 One of the creepiest things I've ever seen.

01:55:30.000 And the crazy thing about it is, when you look at their faces, when you see the faces of them like, on the verge of crying with their eyes closed like, Pfizer!

01:55:39.000 Wow.

01:55:40.000 I can't get into these crowds, man.

01:55:41.000 All my whole life, I was a musician and an actor, but I can't stand going to shows and standing there and watching, and then at the end, everyone's like... It's like these monkeys, like, screaming and dancing.

01:55:51.000 Like, what the... What is this brain?

01:55:53.000 It's so weird how people can be like that.

01:55:55.000 Why?

01:55:56.000 Why do you scream like that for, like, something?

01:55:59.000 I don't get it.

01:56:00.000 Yeah, I never understood that either.

01:56:03.000 You know what I would do?

01:56:05.000 You know what I can do?

01:56:06.000 Here's what we'll do.

01:56:08.000 I'll book a show, or like an introduction for one of these groups, and I'll come out and I'll go, let me get a bah!

01:56:14.000 From everybody in the audience!

01:56:16.000 Yeah!

01:56:17.000 Let me hear that bleat! 1.00

01:56:18.000 Bah! 0.97

01:56:20.000 And they all start doing it.

01:56:21.000 Bah! 0.97

01:56:22.000 Yeah, that's right, you're sheep! 0.99

01:56:27.000 Let me hear that bleat! 1.00

01:56:30.000 We should make that a thing, just get everybody to do it.

01:56:35.000 All right, let's see.

01:56:37.000 Dan Gander says, Tim, the AP is officially censoring negative news re-Venezuela.

01:56:42.000 Minutes of the 2019 meeting show a resolution to that end, intro'd by Gloria Lariva, presidential candidate for the Maoist and VZ-funded PSL, easily verifiable.

01:56:57.000 It's hard to read when you use acronyms for everything, but you're trying to cram too much into a super chat, so hopefully I did my best.

01:57:04.000 All right, Robert Knight says, I've been trying to relay information to you regarding Evergrande.

01:57:08.000 To the info email, Blackrock owns a good-sized stake in Evergrande.

01:57:11.000 Really?

01:57:12.000 That sounds like really bad news.

01:57:14.000 I heard they were going to default.

01:57:15.000 Did you guys hear that?

01:57:16.000 Evergrande?

01:57:16.000 Yeah, they've been default.

01:57:17.000 Buildings have been blown up.

01:57:18.000 I don't know.

01:57:18.000 Blackrock owns a good-sized stake in everything.

01:57:20.000 Yeah, I'm in agreement.

01:57:22.000 Interesting.

01:57:23.000 Because I have a Blackrock in my hand.

01:57:27.000 All right.

01:57:28.000 The Jaded Kriegsman says, Tim, the Great Divorce may be a blessing in disguise.

01:57:32.000 It gives us a chance to bring government back to the level that people have more control of it.

01:57:36.000 Look up Bigness is Badness, the case for a national divorce by F.H.

01:57:40.000 Buckley.

01:57:42.000 It would be bad in the sense that China would immediately, you know, sweep in and start taking places over. 0.98

01:57:49.000 China would go to Oregon and Washington and be like, we're gonna invest heavily in your states, and they're gonna be like, done deal! 0.91

01:57:55.000 Right now, the U.S.

01:57:56.000 government can be like, no, you can't do these things.

01:57:58.000 Well, to be fair, China is investing in property, and they're buying up large swaths of farmland, and they're buying up companies, and they're paying off professors to leak, you know, scientific research to them, so sure, whatever, I guess.

01:58:11.000 At this point, we don't have a strong enough central government to do anything about it, so maybe decentralization would be the better thing for us.

01:58:18.000 All right.

01:58:20.000 Kyle Abram says, Ian, there's a great crystal shop in Shepherdstown near you called the Wings of Dreams.

01:58:25.000 So happy to have the crew in my area.

01:58:26.000 Welcome, guys.

01:58:27.000 We need more entrepreneurs like yourselves.

01:58:29.000 Build here.

01:58:29.000 That's awesome.

01:58:30.000 We are.

01:58:31.000 Thank you.

01:58:31.000 Shepherdstown Rocks.

01:58:32.000 What is it called?

01:58:33.000 Wings of Dreams, Ian.

01:58:34.000 You should check it out.

01:58:34.000 I think you called it Shepherdstown Rocks.

01:58:37.000 That's a cool name for a business, by the way.

01:58:41.000 Wings of Dreams.

01:58:43.000 Like it.

01:58:44.000 Dan Boot says we need to repeal the 17th amendment and the reapportionment act to dilute the votes in Congress and for senators to represent their states.

01:58:52.000 I think repealing the 17th is a good idea. 1.00

01:58:55.000 You know the 17th is?

01:58:56.000 Yes.

01:58:57.000 Popular vote for senators.

01:58:58.000 Brilliant idea.

01:58:59.000 I mean, we've tinkered so much with the original structure of our government that we're surprised it doesn't work, so we just keep tinkering with it.

01:59:06.000 Well, I mean, we can make amendments, that's what they're for, but I think at this point we can be like, hey, that one wasn't a good idea.

01:59:11.000 But if your two senators were working on behalf of the governor, For the good of your state?

01:59:17.000 Or your state's?

01:59:18.000 Wouldn't that be wonderful?

01:59:19.000 You would vote for your local state rep.

01:59:21.000 Wouldn't that be wonderful?

01:59:22.000 And your reps would then vote for your senators. 1.00

01:59:24.000 And the reason that's a better idea is that people right now can't name who their local rep is.

01:59:28.000 Right.

01:59:29.000 They don't know and don't care.

01:59:30.000 So they're complaining about local issues.

01:59:33.000 Voting for a senator to go to Washington to represent them to fix issues that aren't going to be done at the national level.

01:59:40.000 So what you need to do is focus on who your local people are, and then they send people to the federal government.

01:59:46.000 I think that makes more sense because you're still voting for representation, but it's only about where you live and your specific local area.

01:59:55.000 Right now, people are ignoring all the local issues and it's becoming a disaster.

01:59:59.000 But I suppose the people who want a stronger centralized national power like that idea.

02:00:03.000 Yeah.

02:00:04.000 17th was what?

02:00:04.000 It was around, it was in the early 1900s?

02:00:05.000 That's all, I'm pretty sure it was Woodrow Wilson.

02:00:10.000 I could be wrong, but this was all part of the progressive movement.

02:00:14.000 And then look at what's next now is get rid of the electoral college, right?

02:00:18.000 And it's just, it is just getting rid of local government.

02:00:21.000 They don't like local government.

02:00:22.000 They like big central DC government.

02:00:24.000 Worst president, Biden, Buchanan, or Wilson?

02:00:29.000 Most people, most people that I know that are like freedom oriented, like libertarians say Wilson.

02:00:33.000 Yeah. 0.97

02:00:34.000 Biggest fascists, most fascist president. 0.95

02:00:37.000 I don't think it's fair to say Biden yet because I do think history requires a little bit of, of removal from, uh, that only comes with time. 0.97

02:00:44.000 So he's, as of now, he's an awful president.

02:00:47.000 I'm surprised how bad he is. 0.57

02:00:49.000 I didn't think he could be worse than Obama.

02:00:51.000 Um, so I would have to go Wilson, but come back to me in 20 years. 0.99

02:00:56.000 Mustang Sally says, us ladies of the night prefer the term sex worker. 1.00

02:01:01.000 I know because I am one and have been a huge fan for over a year.

02:01:56.000 Thank you.

02:01:57.000 Very close.

02:01:57.000 Fun time.

02:02:00.000 Chriscar17 on Twitter.

02:02:01.000 Awesome.

02:02:02.000 It's incredible.

02:02:03.000 Lydia, very happy for you.

02:02:05.000 Check out our awesome journalism at TimCast.com.

02:02:06.000 We've got a great team doing awesome work.

02:02:08.000 You can hit me up at Ian Crossland, really, anywhere.

02:02:10.000 Check this out.

02:02:10.000 Tim built these.

02:02:11.000 He was like, I want to see the best paper airplane.

02:02:13.000 And he wasn't lying.

02:02:13.000 This is really good.

02:02:14.000 He actually built a bunch more origami things over there.

02:02:16.000 So I'm gonna throw this to Tim.

02:02:17.000 And then Lydia, see if you can change the camera so you can catch it. 1.00

02:02:20.000 Oh! 0.60

02:02:24.000 That's a great paper airplane.

02:02:30.000 While we were waiting before the show started, I made a bunch of origami.

02:02:33.000 I made a pen holder.

02:02:34.000 Look at this.

02:02:35.000 This is, you know what we should do?

02:02:36.000 We should NFT this official pen holder.

02:02:39.000 No, we should actually ship this to someone.

02:02:42.000 I'll autograph this official pen holder for your desk because you know you need to hold your pen because it rolls around.

02:02:48.000 But more importantly, it's like tying a string to your finger, you know?

02:02:51.000 You pick up your pen, right?

02:02:52.000 And you use it, but then you put it down somewhere and you forget where it went!

02:02:56.000 With the official Timcast pen holder.

02:02:58.000 You just always put your pen right back in the holder, you put your pen holder down, and you'll never lose a pen again.

02:03:04.000 Could you use a pencil in there as well?

02:03:06.000 No.

02:03:07.000 Okay, you need a second one.

02:03:10.000 You'll have to buy our second pencil holder.

02:03:14.000 Made of 100% grade A American paper.

02:03:17.000 I'm not confident that it's actually made of American paper.

02:03:19.000 I don't know, it's paper.

02:03:21.000 Yes.

02:03:22.000 And, uh, Lydia already passed Sour Patch Kids. 0.99

02:03:24.000 Yes, yes, me as well.

02:03:24.000 Yes, I'm Sour Patch Lids here in the corner.

02:03:26.000 And Tim made me this box that I use to put my lip gloss in.

02:03:29.000 He's very handy with the paper.

02:03:31.000 And I do have to say thank you all very much, because apparently all of you guys follow me on Twitter, which is cool for my silly hot takes.

02:03:37.000 I really don't tweet about politics.

02:03:38.000 I try to mix it up and kind of make it life less unbearable.

02:03:41.000 So thank you guys for following me.

02:03:42.000 I'm just loving people in the chat like, give me the Pence pen holder!

02:03:48.000 You're on to something.

02:03:49.000 All right, everybody.

02:03:49.000 We'll see you all over at TimCast.com.

02:03:52.000 Thanks for hanging out.
