Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - MyPillow Guy Told Trump To Declare MARTIAL LAW?! w- Jason Rantz

00:00:00.000 In what may be, and what will be, there is a great deal of hope.

00:00:28.000 In what may be one of the darkest conspiracies ever exposed by the news media in this country,

00:00:36.000 the MyPillowGuy was seen meeting with Donald Trump.

00:00:39.000 In his hand, notes which read... They zoomed in and it was something about Insurrection Act.

00:00:44.000 It's hard to read, but...

00:00:46.000 Of course, the news is already coming out saying that he was pushing for martial law in his meeting with Trump.

00:00:51.000 I hope you realize I was joking about that.

00:00:53.000 It's not a dark conspiracy.

00:00:54.000 The MyPillow guy, Mike Lindell, had a meeting with Trump.

00:00:57.000 He's saying he was just relaying information.

00:00:58.000 It was a legal conversation.

00:01:00.000 But the media, some journalist, took a photo of his notes and zoomed in.

00:01:06.000 You have no idea what the papers are about, but there's mentions of Insurrection Act and Sidney Powell and things like that.

00:01:12.000 So of course, instead of actually doing any legwork, the media just says he's pushing for martial law.

00:01:17.000 You combine that with the story that's been freaking everybody out, the 20,000 fully decked out National Guard in D.C.

00:01:25.000 We're talking like, live ammo, shoot to kill, really crazy stuff, and people start, well, they start going nuts.

00:01:33.000 That's why it's, I just rag on the media so much, man.

00:01:36.000 It is so irresponsible to come out and say, we saw a few words from far away on a piece of paper, and now we know what it means, when you've got people who already believe a ton of crazy conspiracies, I don't care if they're on the left or the right, and you've got a major security event happening.

00:01:49.000 This is ridiculously irresponsible.

00:01:52.000 Now, as for what's really going to happen on the 20th, my opinion, Joe Biden's going to be inaugurated.

00:01:56.000 Then probably, I don't know if the day before or after, we'll see the impeachment trial.

00:02:01.000 Mitch McConnell is apparently telling Republicans to vote their conscience.

00:02:04.000 We'll see if that actually becomes something.

00:02:07.000 But I got this map.

00:02:08.000 We were looking at this map of D.C., and there's a green zone where they've, like, just barricaded everything off.

00:02:12.000 This is really, really crazy.

00:02:13.000 Some people have pointed out.

00:02:14.000 There's, like, a retired general saying there hasn't been this much security for inauguration since Abraham Lincoln.

00:02:20.000 So a lot to talk about on all this, and we might actually talk about some cultural science stuff, just kind of get away from the politics, but we'll see how it plays out.

00:02:26.000 We got a really awesome guest today.

00:02:27.000 Joining us is Jason Ranz.

00:02:29.000 Hello!

00:02:30.000 I'm a talk radio show host that probably no one has heard of unless you watch Fox News, because then you probably have seen me doing some things.

00:02:38.000 on Tucker Carlson and some other shows.

00:02:39.000 Antifa loves you, I hear.

00:02:40.000 Antifa, huge fans.

00:02:42.000 They absolutely adore me and I adore them as well.

00:02:45.000 Lots of content.

00:02:45.000 You're based out of the Pacific Northwest.

00:02:47.000 Yes, I actually live in Seattle.

00:02:49.000 I don't just say I'm like a Seattle talk show host.

00:02:52.000 I actually live in the heart of Seattle.

00:02:54.000 Brave.

00:02:55.000 So you got to experience the crossing the border into the heart of the newly born country of Chaz.

00:03:02.000 They took away my passport and I had to sneak in.

00:03:05.000 Now, the good news is COVID, the one positive in wearing the masks everywhere, is it's kind of hard to recognize people.

00:03:13.000 However, I quickly learned it doesn't work when you have very distinctive eyebrows.

00:03:18.000 And they spotted me so quickly!

00:03:21.000 It is so creepy!

00:03:22.000 The eyebrows!

00:03:22.000 As soon as I got in, and this was sort of early on when it was being established, and I had gone down there.

00:03:28.000 I was there with Julio Rosas from Town Hall, and we were just taking some video, and then I'm checking Twitter, and I'm looking at the hashtags, and people are taking photos, and they're saying, Jason Rance is here.

00:03:38.000 Look at his eyebrows!

00:03:39.000 I know, and so I've learned, now you wear a hat.

00:03:42.000 It makes it harder.

00:03:43.000 Or sunglasses.

00:03:43.000 Headband or something.

00:03:44.000 Right on.

00:03:45.000 Well, thanks for hanging out.

00:03:45.000 We've got a lot to talk about.

00:03:46.000 Of course, we've got Luke Orkowski.

00:03:48.000 He's chilling.

00:03:48.000 Did you get your passport stamped at least?

00:03:50.000 They literally just took it.

00:03:52.000 Oh my gosh.

00:03:53.000 It was very traumatic.

00:03:55.000 Well, howdy! 0.96

00:03:55.000 I'm an independent journalist and also not just now a humble t-shirt seller, vendor, but also a hat seller that you can of course get very humbly on wearechange.org forward slash shirts. 0.96

00:04:06.000 I produce content on the YouTube channel We Are Change.

00:04:08.000 It's great being here with all you amazing people, but not just here, especially the you guys, the incredible audience out there.

00:04:13.000 That's really something that is absolutely different.

00:04:16.000 Stop buttering them up.

00:04:16.000 I have to, I have to.

00:04:17.000 Trying to sell your t-shirts.

00:04:18.000 Hey, I'm just saying there's some good people out there.

00:04:21.000 Ian, you're chilling, right?

00:04:22.000 I am.

00:04:23.000 Did they give you your passport back?

00:04:24.000 No.

00:04:25.000 What?

00:04:26.000 They really took your passport?

00:04:28.000 Yes.

00:04:28.000 No, they didn't.

00:04:29.000 Who took it?

00:04:30.000 You realize it's not an actual country.

00:04:32.000 Yes, I know.

00:04:32.000 I just walked by.

00:04:33.000 No, but I mean, like, they were, like, stopping people with guns.

00:04:37.000 They were, so... And I'm like, at a certain point, I kind of believe it would happen.

00:04:42.000 Like, frisk you and take your stuff?

00:04:43.000 It is kind of like what's going on in D.C.

00:04:45.000 right now, where you did have some people who were armed and when cars would go through they definitely would

00:04:50.000 stop folks because there was concern that someone might actually just try to

00:04:54.000 drive through even it was a sort of an unjustified concern but they weren't

00:04:58.000 actually asking for papers but they were asking like what are you doing here it's

00:05:02.000 like well everyone is talking about this so people are coming down

00:05:05.000 and checking it out I live here I want people here yeah or you know when you were

00:05:09.000 talking about masks and how everyone has been wearing masks I realized all

00:05:12.000 those people that kind of broke into the White House wearing masks.

00:05:16.000 And now they're really facing the wrath of not having their faces covered.

00:05:20.000 That was the true crime.

00:05:22.000 Do you remember who said that?

00:05:24.000 It was a congresswoman, and I'll find it at some point.

00:05:27.000 Oh yeah, I forgot her name.

00:05:28.000 Jayapal?

00:05:29.000 Yeah.

00:05:30.000 I don't think it was Jayapal.

00:05:31.000 There's another one.

00:05:32.000 It must have been.

00:05:33.000 If it was for Milledge, because she's my congresswoman, I probably would have remembered that.

00:05:36.000 How dare they not wear masks?

00:05:38.000 She wasn't wearing a mask? 0.88

00:05:39.000 Well, it was the people who, the writers who were going in, they also weren't wearing a mask.

00:05:44.000 And apparently that was something that was a big deal.

00:05:48.000 Kind of overshadowing the actual big deal.

00:05:51.000 But I remember seeing some media reports about this.

00:05:55.000 This is going to be a super spreader COVID event.

00:05:57.000 And it doesn't look like, I don't know, I haven't really followed it up.

00:06:00.000 Doesn't look like that was the case at all.

00:06:03.000 You know, we'll see.

00:06:04.000 But we'll get into all this stuff.

00:06:05.000 Don't forget, everybody, we got Sour Patch Lads hanging out, pressing all the buttons.

00:06:07.000 I'm here in the corner, listening to all this craziness, and I am pushing buttons.

00:06:10.000 Right on.

00:06:11.000 Now, before we get started with today's show, we have a sponsor that I really want to talk about, so special thanks to them.

00:06:17.000 This is pocketnet.app.

00:06:20.000 This is actually really cool.

00:06:21.000 So, they reached out to us and they say they are the first fully decentralized social network.

00:06:27.000 No corporation, open source, nobody can take your subscribers away, all advertising revenue goes directly to you as a content creator, owned and self-policed by users like you.

00:06:37.000 Join the revolution today, they say on their site.

00:06:41.000 So I actually, I get this email full of all these things they want me to talk about, but then I actually looked at it, because we've talked a lot about big tech censorship, and I said, you know, this deserves something a little bit better, because check this out.

00:06:53.000 They say, how is PocketNet different from Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and other platforms?

00:06:57.000 There is no central authority or corporation.

00:07:00.000 The platform is run by equal nodes on a blockchain.

00:07:02.000 All revenue is split between node operators and content creators.

00:07:05.000 Node operators stake PocketCoin in order to mint blocks with rewards and transaction fees.

00:07:10.000 Half of rewards in each block go to content creators based on ratings their content gathers from users.

00:07:17.000 So I have this list of things they want me to talk about, and I'll mention some of it.

00:07:20.000 But, you know, Ian and I, we went back and forth a little bit, actually really impressed with the idea of a totally decentralized social media platform.

00:07:26.000 It's fantastic.

00:07:27.000 Bill and I have been working on it at mine since, like, 2013 is when we first thought, like, we got it, and we got this thing called Nomad.

00:07:32.000 But, I mean, it is, like, bare bones.

00:07:34.000 This is awesome.

00:07:35.000 Yeah, so this is PocketNet.app, and they mention a few things.

00:07:38.000 So I do want to read for you some of the things they, you know, I should say.

00:07:42.000 Only users decide what content is appropriate for them to see.

00:07:45.000 When you get high ratings for your content or comments, you earn PocketCoin.

00:07:49.000 PocketNet's system token The PocketNet System Token and you increase your reputation.

00:07:56.000 More reputation gives you more prominence to your content.

00:07:59.000 You can create a private key login at pocketnet.app.

00:08:02.000 And, I mean, check it out.

00:08:04.000 So, look, I started looking through the things that they were mentioning, and the one and most important thing for any of these networks, because I recently got, you know, hit on Facebook, and everyone keeps saying, oh, go to this platform, go to that platform, and I keep saying, they're centralized.

00:08:18.000 If you go to one of these, even alternative platforms, and they take out the servers, everybody's gone.

00:08:23.000 So when I got this request for a sponsorship, and I saw that there's no central authority, I'm like, that is probably the legit, most promising idea, you know, in terms of a social network.

00:08:34.000 Because we've definitely talked about decentralization, and getting to the point where you are in control of your servers, your nodes, and your connection, and then no one can ban you.

00:08:43.000 Hey, special thanks to PocketNet for sponsoring the show.

00:08:46.000 You can check out PocketNet in the link below.

00:08:49.000 It's pocketnet.app.

00:08:50.000 But again, seriously, wow, it sounds really, really cool.

00:08:53.000 Maybe we'll talk about it a little bit later, because I'm actually impressed by this.

00:08:56.000 But don't forget, you can go to timcast.com and become a member.

00:08:58.000 We actually have a members-only post up right now.

00:09:01.000 With Richie McGinnis talking about how he was defamed by the New York Times as a right-wing reporter.

00:09:06.000 Actually, they defamed him as a rioter, claiming he punched the glass.

00:09:09.000 We sat down and talked about 10 minutes after the show yesterday, so that's up right now at TimCast.com.

00:09:14.000 Check it out.

00:09:15.000 Thanks for hanging out.

00:09:15.000 Smash that subscribe button, that like button, that notification bell.

00:09:19.000 Let's get to the news.

00:09:20.000 Alright, so here's what we got.

00:09:22.000 This is great, from The Guardian.

00:09:24.000 Trump ally Mike Lindell of MyPillow pushes martial law at White House.

00:09:29.000 Photographer snaps pictures of notes near West Wing.

00:09:33.000 Visible words include, move Kash Patel to CIA acting.

00:09:38.000 Interesting.

00:09:38.000 They say Donald Trump will be replaced as president in five days time by Joe Biden.

00:09:43.000 Trump continues to baselessly claim his election defeat by the Democrat was the result of fraud.

00:09:47.000 The president has now said he disavows the violence this week at.

00:09:50.000 Lindell has risen to prominence among allies urging the president on his attempts to deny reality.

00:09:56.000 On his Facebook page on Friday, the mustachioed seller of sleep aids wrote,

00:10:00.000 Keep the faith everyone, we will have our President Donald Trump for more years.

00:10:05.000 Later, a Washington Post photographer caught images of Lindell in which parts of notes he

00:10:10.000 carried were visible. Among visible text were the words, quote,

00:10:14.000 Insurrection Act now as a result of the assault on thee.

00:10:19.000 Then it says, quote, martial law if necessary, and quote, move Kash Patel to CIA acting.

00:10:25.000 The notes also refer to Sidney Powell, an attorney and conspiracy theorist involved in Trump campaign lawsuits meant to overturn election results in battleground states, almost all of which have been unsuccessful.

00:10:37.000 Now we have the images right here.

00:10:38.000 So this is tweeted by Jabin Botsford.

00:10:41.000 MyPillowUSA CEO Mike Lindell shows off his notes before going into the West Wing at the White House on Friday, January 15th.

00:10:48.000 And you can see some things.

00:10:50.000 We don't know what this is.

00:10:51.000 I'll tell you right away what my biggest problem with this is.

00:10:55.000 For all we know at the top of the page, it says, hypothetical, or it says, recently, you know, Lin Wood posted to Parler the following.

00:11:02.000 And it could just be example text.

00:11:04.000 It could be a reference.

00:11:05.000 It could be fake.

00:11:07.000 We don't know what it is or, or, or what, you know, what he's supposedly talking about, why things are, you know, there's, there's redacted sentences on this page.

00:11:14.000 The media just took a picture of this, zoomed in, and now they're running the story as though the MyPillow guy is like trying to stage a coup.

00:11:21.000 And that's like the narrative now it's trending on Twitter.

00:11:24.000 So, um, I guess let's just, let's just get down to it.

00:11:27.000 Jason, is the MyPillow guy staging a coup?

00:11:29.000 I mean, very clearly.

00:11:30.000 Yeah.

00:11:32.000 I will say this.

00:11:33.000 So, in the context of all the things that are happening, and some of the crazy things that have been said by Trump loyalists, I understand why there might be the jump to conclude that these are his thoughts.

00:11:45.000 You are obviously correct in that they do not have proof.

00:11:48.000 He has since come out, I think it was the Washington Examiner he spoke to, basically say, no, these were notes from a lawyer.

00:11:54.000 Now, I don't know if that clarifies, was the lawyer promoting this and you were then handing it to the president?

00:12:00.000 Apparently the president had read it.

00:12:02.000 They met for about five to ten minutes and that was that.

00:12:05.000 You know, I think it's fair game to point out the crazy stuff on that sheet of paper.

00:12:10.000 Yeah.

00:12:11.000 I agree.

00:12:12.000 Let's not go ahead and just automatically assume.

00:12:14.000 But let's also not pretend that Mike Lindell has not said some crazy things.

00:12:18.000 He has, he has.

00:12:18.000 But can, am I allowed to just please live in the reality where the MyPillow guy is the mastermind behind this coup to take over, you know, and help Trump stay president?

00:12:26.000 I thought I was supporting that.

00:12:28.000 Maybe he has a pillow fort.

00:12:30.000 You don't know.

00:12:30.000 Of course, yes.

00:12:32.000 Yeah, wow.

00:12:34.000 It's 2021.

00:12:35.000 Things are supposed to chill out.

00:12:37.000 I like that meme where it's like, yay, 2020 is over and six days into 2021 and it's the Viking guy in the Senate building or whatever.

00:12:44.000 And now it's day 15 and they're claiming the MyPillow guy is trying to tell the president to invoke the Insurrection Act.

00:12:53.000 Maybe, maybe.

00:12:53.000 I mean, he's tweeted about it, hasn't he?

00:12:55.000 Hasn't he said it in the past, something about martial law?

00:12:58.000 I don't remember if it was martial law specifically, but he's definitely sort of flirted.

00:13:01.000 Certainly, you've obviously heard people making this exact same claim.

00:13:06.000 I've seen some of these tweets from random people, which is very odd if you're saying the president is not a dictator to then I was reading about World War II, man.

00:13:23.000 Because we had a comment the other day about the Beer Hall Push.

00:13:25.000 Is that how you pronounce it?

00:13:27.000 I'm not entirely sure.

00:13:29.000 Where in 1923 the Nazis tried staging a coup and got stopped.

00:13:33.000 And so I've been reading a decent amount about history.

00:13:35.000 I was reading about Italy.

00:13:36.000 I was reading about the Soviet Union and Germany.

00:13:38.000 And I'm just imagining, like, if in a hundred years, some kid is, like, studying history, and it's like, in 2021, the CEO of a pillow company met with the president and, like, you know, like, that's the catalyst for this.

00:13:51.000 I'm reading about World War II, and it's like they say, you know, Hitler went in, they surrounded the beer hall, he jumps up on a chair and he fires a gun in the air, and then everyone stops and he yells, it's the revolution, and it's this very dramatic reading of history about, like, what happened at this time.

00:14:05.000 Now, he failed, of course, he went to prison.

00:14:07.000 For a short period of time, and then it was only like 10 years later, he ended up getting elected.

00:14:11.000 Am I supposed to believe that history will look back on this time, and this is what, like, the future generations are gonna hear about?

00:14:18.000 Like, we hear these really dramatic stories, these famous quotes.

00:14:20.000 I mean, think about these famous quotes, like, give me liberty or give me death.

00:14:24.000 I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

00:14:26.000 We're gonna have, in 100 years, the CEO of the pillow company said, invoke the Insurrection Act, because, you know, and whatever. I feel like the quote's gonna be, I'm taking

00:14:37.000 many calls and many meetings all day.

00:14:39.000 I mean, think about it. That's kind of incredible how we got to this point. Is it? How is it?

00:14:46.000 I mean, you know what?

00:14:47.000 I wonder this.

00:14:48.000 Is it possible that back in the day, when these past statesmen and politicians, when they were saying these quotes, the average person just rolled their eyes and was, like, not that impressed by them?

00:14:59.000 You know what I mean?

00:14:59.000 Yeah, I just listened to Herbert Hoover, I think it was, the president, 1928.

00:15:04.000 He basically served us the Great Depression.

00:15:06.000 Man, he was dry and boring to listen to, really.

00:15:10.000 Boring.

00:15:10.000 I'd rather have the pillow guy.

00:15:12.000 Definitely.

00:15:12.000 Yeah, so I'm looking at the news right now from the White House Correspondent for the Washington Post and he says quote talked to Mike Lindell this evening He said lawyer gave him notes to share with POTUS, but repeatedly wouldn't say what lawyer and He said he met with Trump for five to ten minutes, and then he referred to counsel's office, said the lawyers were disinterested, very disinterested, and that he allegedly shared this document with this Washington Post guy, and he goes on from there.

00:15:43.000 So it doesn't say who the lawyer was?

00:15:45.000 Yeah.

00:15:46.000 He doesn't want to say who the lawyer was.

00:15:47.000 If it was Lin Wood, would you believe that?

00:15:49.000 That's amazing.

00:15:54.000 I- you know, because we have no conclusive evidence, I'm going to choose to live in the world where the pillow guy is colluding with Trump to, you know, some- I love it.

00:16:02.000 No, it's not gonna happen.

00:16:03.000 I mean, it really is strange how we've come to this point where people every day seem to think there's gonna be some kind of big move by Trump, and it never happens.

00:16:12.000 You know, I look to some of the most prominent and vocal Trump supporters over the past several years, people like Scott Adams and Cernovich, and they're talking down.

00:16:19.000 They're like, well, you know, it's time to move on.

00:16:22.000 It happened.

00:16:22.000 It's, you know, what are we going to do?

00:16:24.000 Time for Trump to leave and things like that.

00:16:26.000 And I still see people, I still see posts on Facebook where they're like, tomorrow's the day Donald Trump's going to invoke.

00:16:33.000 And I'm like, you said that last week, man, and nothing happened.

00:16:37.000 Why is this?

00:16:39.000 Why are there so many people on the left who are convinced that the Nazis have taken over?

00:16:43.000 There was one journalist who tweeted, literal Nazis stormed the Capitol.

00:16:46.000 And I'm like, dude, the life magic shaman who thinks he's an alien?

00:16:49.000 I don't think he's a Nazi man.

00:16:50.000 I think he's just unwell.

00:16:52.000 You know why I think it is?

00:16:53.000 Because they've been dosing kids with aspartame since the 80s and they're a bunch of grown kids thinking that they're still watching cartoons and they're expecting like a fantasy ending.

00:17:02.000 I don't know.

00:17:02.000 I don't know about all that, but people just don't want to live in reality, man.

00:17:06.000 No, and you know, let's be honest about the social media aspect of it.

00:17:10.000 I mean, we tend to amplify the crazy.

00:17:14.000 That's what social media does, and that's why some of us are on it, right?

00:17:17.000 Because we are fascinated by the lunacy, and that's all that this is.

00:17:22.000 Now, does it strike me as a little bit more lunacy than at least I expected?

00:17:26.000 Yes, because even, you know, on my radio show as I talk about what happened and I call it a riot and I say the president was wrong, I didn't think it was impeachable, but I did say he has some responsibility here.

00:17:39.000 Immediately, you just get immediately attacked that you're not allowed to criticize Trump at all.

00:17:44.000 And as much as I don't like the whole cult of personality narrative and talking point that has been used, this was the first time at least I've noticed it just outwardly absurd.

00:17:56.000 Yeah.

00:17:56.000 It just went too far.

00:17:58.000 And, you know, it's good to be loyal.

00:18:00.000 It's not good to be blindly loyal.

00:18:02.000 I think, I think many of us, you know, because we, I've done so many segments defending the president. 0.88

00:18:08.000 I think it was Dave Smith, the comedian who pointed out that you want to criticize him, but the critics of Trump are so insane. 0.80

00:18:16.000 Yeah.

00:18:16.000 You're forced to look at the other direction and say, no, no.

00:18:18.000 Like, you know, they'll claim, you know, Donald Trump could walk past a dog and smile and they'll claim that he tried to kick it or something.

00:18:24.000 Or like the fish thing with Shinzo Abe where he poured the food into the pond because Shinzo Abe did, but they zoom in and make it seem like he did something wrong.

00:18:33.000 So instead of being able to be like, Trump should do this better, the media is doing worse.

00:18:38.000 Now I think what's happening is we're at this point where most people, most of them, Especially those who had been defending the president recognize he's out and Joe Biden is about to come in.

00:18:49.000 But there are some people who are used to hearing the defense of Trump, who liked it, who have kept going.

00:18:55.000 They've never stopped.

00:18:56.000 So for people like us, you mentioned on your show, you criticize or say things like it's over.

00:19:02.000 We put the brakes on and we're like, well, as far as this train goes, and they just went off the tracks and they keep going.

00:19:08.000 That's why it's crazy when you see Lin Wood getting as many retweets as he was getting.

00:19:12.000 Like that's that's he was getting like 20,000 retweets when he would say things like Mike Pence is a traitor and the firing squads like what are you talking about?

00:19:20.000 You know what I mean?

00:19:20.000 Like where's this coming from?

00:19:21.000 I tell myself it's a lot of people retweeting and saying, this is insane, because I don't want to believe... No, no, but these are not quote tweets.

00:19:29.000 Like, you can quote tweet and say, this guy's nuts, because I did.

00:19:32.000 And then I had a lot of people respond and say, I don't know, we'll see how it plays out.

00:19:35.000 And I'm like, sure, I guess, but come on, man, we don't live in a movie.

00:19:38.000 What could possibly happen?

00:19:39.000 I mean, seriously, what could possibly happen?

00:19:43.000 God bless the imaginations of a lot of people.

00:19:45.000 And it pains me to say that because, look, I'm a Republican, I'm a conservative, I supported Trump.

00:19:51.000 I was critical when he deserved to be criticized, but I sort of had the same position of, the other side has gone so over the top in criticizing everything, my natural tendency was to defend.

00:20:04.000 Even in instances where I wouldn't normally give that kind of leverage or leeway to a politician because of how over the top the other side was.

00:20:13.000 It just it's a little bit too much.

00:20:14.000 It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy because we've been told by the left for the last four and a half years a riot like what happened or the siege was going to happen.

00:20:24.000 We were told that and every time they said that in the past we're like there's been no violence everyone relax.

00:20:29.000 Meanwhile there was actual violence on the left in which they completely ignored it and then the time it does actually happen And I'm not downplaying it.

00:20:36.000 It was incredibly serious.

00:20:37.000 Symbolically, way more damaging to this nation, I think, than six or seven months of BLM riots or Antifa riots because of just what it stands for. 0.57

00:20:48.000 But y'all didn't say anything then.

00:20:50.000 No, defended it.

00:20:51.000 Kamala Harris raised money for them.

00:20:53.000 It really is absurd and it just feeds into this culture, this environment, that's allowing for this to continue.

00:21:02.000 I don't think this is going to stop because of how people are reacting.

00:21:05.000 Jason, you made a good point before saying how people are fascinated by what's on social media.

00:21:10.000 I would even go further and say that they're captivated by it.

00:21:14.000 And because of the echo chambers, because of the censorship efforts, I would say that's one of the ingredients that is causing some of the madness that we're experiencing right now.

00:21:23.000 Because if people were able to talk through, were able to communicate honestly without any censors, Without being put into the dark corners of the internet, I think things would be a lot calmer and I think now, with everything happening, it's only going to get worse because those same ingredients are only added on instead of being reduced to this crap pie that's in front of all of us.

00:21:44.000 The real money right now in political commentary?

00:21:46.000 The left.

00:21:47.000 Absolutely.

00:21:48.000 If I was the grifter they claimed I was, I'd be 100% on board for Biden and all this Democrat stuff and I'll tell you why.

00:21:55.000 The beanie would be pink.

00:21:56.000 Yes, and it would have little ears.

00:21:59.000 No, here's the reason, though.

00:22:01.000 If you say things like what Lin Wood is saying, oh, you're banned in two seconds.

00:22:07.000 If you say there was fraud or anything like that, they smear you, they defame you, they take away your ads, they boot you from sponsors, and they ban you outright.

00:22:14.000 But if I were to do a show where I claimed Trump is a fascist dictator, this proves it, the Lindell meeting proves there's a coup attempt and we all must stay vigilant and that it's Russia and we know it, Well, they'll promote it.

00:22:28.000 So it's a joy reach.

00:22:29.000 They will boost it.

00:22:31.000 Yeah.

00:22:31.000 Yeah, right.

00:22:31.000 Right.

00:22:31.000 Rachel Maddow.

00:22:32.000 So that's the imbalance.

00:22:34.000 There is money to be made by pushing the leftist narrative, even when it's unhinged.

00:22:40.000 But on the right, you're banned in two seconds.

00:22:41.000 But how does that change?

00:22:43.000 So you have Trump out of office.

00:22:45.000 You've got Biden in there.

00:22:46.000 Let's do the first 100 days will be, oh, how refreshing it is.

00:22:49.000 We now have a real president there and they'll fluff everything up. 0.97

00:22:52.000 And then what?

00:22:53.000 I have a feeling on this show we're going to be like, day two, Joe Biden has bombed 17 kids again, and then the media is going to be like, shh.

00:23:01.000 If we could even find out about it because of all the censors of all the legitimate news organizations that actually do talk about American foreign policy.

00:23:09.000 If you remember, during the presidential debates, this wasn't even a topic of debate.

00:23:15.000 This wasn't even a topic of discussion.

00:23:17.000 Well, they canceled the second one.

00:23:18.000 Yes, so we might not even know what's happening outside because of all the communications lines being controlled and being censored, but what I think is going to happen is going to be very fascinating because these organizations, these groups, these larger ideologies are predicated on attacking.

00:23:36.000 On going after and being offensive instead of defensive.

00:23:39.000 So I truly do believe that after the first hundred days after Trump, they're going to start eating their own.

00:23:45.000 They're going to start attacking each other, tearing each other to shreds because all that's left is them.

00:23:50.000 And they're going to find some kind of microaggression.

00:23:53.000 They're going to find some kind of privilege.

00:23:55.000 They're going to find something to eat each other apart because there's no one else to hit.

00:24:00.000 So, they're already starting to go after Fox, and so my assumption is they're going to continue to do that.

00:24:07.000 But you're right, I think.

00:24:08.000 At some point, so CNN brands themselves now, they're just the anti-Trump network.

00:24:13.000 That's what they do, which is what MSNBC is supposed to do. 1.00

00:24:16.000 And MSNBC is at least honest about their brand.

00:24:20.000 They're leaning forward, and CNN was lying.

00:24:22.000 But now they're in direct competition with a Democratic House, Senate, and White House. 0.90

00:24:29.000 So they're going to have to go after each other.

00:24:32.000 You can go after Fox all you want.

00:24:34.000 It's not going to work.

00:24:35.000 But I hear that AT&T owns CNN now.

00:24:38.000 They want to sell.

00:24:40.000 Jim Acosta.

00:24:42.000 We'll just say reassigned.

00:24:43.000 I won't say fired.

00:24:45.000 What else is going on?

00:24:46.000 They canceled the airport.

00:24:48.000 CNN airport is gone as of March.

00:24:51.000 I think they realized that the only thing that kept them floating was Donald Trump.

00:24:55.000 It was truly a glorious past four years of unhinged desperation, screaming at the top of their lungs about Trump nonstop.

00:25:04.000 That's what happens.

00:25:05.000 You open up CNN, you turn on CNN, it's just everyone's screaming.

00:25:09.000 Trump.

00:25:13.000 ism. Oh, the problem is they've already banned all these people.

00:25:16.000 Twitter purged the QAnon people.

00:25:18.000 What are they going to complain about?

00:25:20.000 So I think you're right, Luke.

00:25:21.000 They're going to start looking.

00:25:23.000 So here's what happens.

00:25:24.000 They get rid of the right. What's left? 0.86

00:25:25.000 Moderates.

00:25:26.000 When the moderates are gone, liberals.

00:25:28.000 And then there's going to be eating each other like it's a Ouroboros.

00:25:31.000 And then from my kind of understanding, I do see elements of the far

00:25:35.000 left getting attacked first because they're the most vocal ones.

00:25:39.000 But the institutional power is amongst the corporatists, the sellouts, the establishment.

00:25:45.000 So I think right after the moderates, it's definitely going to be the farther left.

00:25:49.000 I don't even want to say AOC, because she's more establishment now.

00:25:53.000 Than anything else.

00:25:54.000 But anyone kind of representing these ideas, I think it's going to get the boot.

00:25:58.000 But another interesting factor to really kind of remember here is that before Donald Trump was president, the mainstream media ratings, their viewership, was tanking, going down.

00:26:08.000 And there's a legitimate argument to make that Donald Trump saved the mainstream media.

00:26:12.000 That's a fact.

00:26:13.000 Saved CNN, saved all these national media organizations that actually were going out of work because people were saying, I'd rather go on the internet and watch people that look like me, that talk like me, that are actually genuine, and not represented by these bigger, larger interests that just spew talking points and narratives at me for their political goal.

00:26:33.000 He raised them as, like, undead.

00:26:35.000 They were dying.

00:26:36.000 He's like, I won't let you fully die.

00:26:38.000 I like to imagine Jeff Zucker at CNN right now is like, you know, he's turning the lights off.

00:26:43.000 He's, you know, he's like, you know, pulling on his shirt, straightening his tie and looking at the studio as everyone leaves and the doors close.

00:26:49.000 And then he walks up to this giant golden statue of Donald Trump.

00:26:52.000 Tear comes in his eye and he wipes and he goes, You know, I think that probably won't happen, but I was imagining that the news media would start to go after Biden. 0.97

00:27:02.000 If Biden does something really stupid, because they want to put Kamala in office. 0.79

00:27:07.000 So they'll wait until Biden pulls the trigger on too many drone bombs or the economy tanks and they can all put it on Biden. 0.99

00:27:15.000 I don't think it's going to happen.

00:27:16.000 Not the drone thing, dude.

00:27:18.000 They will never criticize a president for war.

00:27:20.000 They used to go after Bush though.

00:27:22.000 Yeah, he's a Republican.

00:27:25.000 They're not gonna, what about Obama?

00:27:27.000 How many people, Obama killed Americans. 0.95

00:27:30.000 Obama literally was like, uh, it's an American, uh, blow him up. 0.96

00:27:34.000 Teenage American citizens were assassinated by the director.

00:27:38.000 More than one teenager?

00:27:38.000 Or was it one teenager?

00:27:39.000 Um, I don't know the exact thing.

00:27:41.000 I think Obama killed, I think it's four Americans.

00:27:44.000 But specifically, I can name two of them.

00:27:46.000 Anwar al-Awlaki and Abdulrahman al-Awlaki.

00:27:47.000 It's a 16-year-old American kid who was visiting.

00:27:50.000 He was from, I think he was from Colorado.

00:27:51.000 He was born in Colorado.

00:27:52.000 He was trying to find out who his father was.

00:27:54.000 And then he went, traveled to Yemen, and Obama ordered a drone strike on a civilian cafe in a country where not, it's, we're not at war with Yemen.

00:28:03.000 He blew up a civilian restaurant, killing an American citizen.

00:28:06.000 And the media is like, oops.

00:28:08.000 Or I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the media went to Obama and he went, It was a mistake.

00:28:12.000 And they were like, good enough for us.

00:28:13.000 Pack it in, boys.

00:28:14.000 We got an answer.

00:28:15.000 Bye, everybody.

00:28:15.000 And then Donald Trump ordered the hit, I believe, on the sister.

00:28:18.000 And then again, we didn't hear anything about it.

00:28:20.000 Yeah, I know, I know.

00:28:20.000 And then, you know, when Donald Trump becomes very aggressive with his military, the mainstream media cheers him on.

00:28:26.000 They applaud him.

00:28:26.000 They say it's beautiful.

00:28:27.000 It's great.

00:28:28.000 He's showing leadership.

00:28:29.000 So they're not going to do that.

00:28:30.000 But hold on.

00:28:31.000 But I do think you have a good point, Ian.

00:28:32.000 They'll find something else as an excuse because they want Kamala. 1.00

00:28:36.000 They might, yeah.

00:28:37.000 But I don't think so.

00:28:38.000 But like two or three years in.

00:28:40.000 I think there's maybe a reason, like maybe now what'll happen is we have, I think Marjorie Taylor Greene says she wants to impeach Biden on day one.

00:28:47.000 Maybe they'll go, oh no, oh, he's, oh geez, I guess we'll have to impeach and convict.

00:28:53.000 Bye Biden.

00:28:54.000 Kamala! 0.87

00:28:55.000 Yay! 0.99

00:28:55.000 There we go. 0.99

00:28:57.000 No, right, right.

00:28:58.000 But I mean, I can't imagine Joe Biden finishing out his term for any reason.

00:29:02.000 Because primarily, I mean, first of all, he's an old guy.

00:29:05.000 But not even just that, they wanted Kamala.

00:29:07.000 I really do think they were trying to prop up Kamala until Tulsi Gabbard dropped that nuke, and it really, really was damaging and hard to get around.

00:29:16.000 And so then she just disappears.

00:29:17.000 Then Joe Biden all of a sudden becomes the frontrunner, and then he picks Kamala.

00:29:21.000 I don't know.

00:29:22.000 We heard the same exact thing about Donald Trump.

00:29:23.000 He's not going to last the four years.

00:29:25.000 He didn't even want it.

00:29:27.000 He's definitely not going to run for re-election.

00:29:29.000 Biden will make it the four year unless there's some health issue that we don't know about.

00:29:33.000 He's almost certainly not going to be the external president that people might want Or maybe they don't want that.

00:29:42.000 What do you mean?

00:29:44.000 External, being out there, being public facing, doing a whole bunch of speeches.

00:29:49.000 My sense is he probably is not going to be that president after the first year.

00:29:54.000 I think they've noted the cognitive decline.

00:29:57.000 And let's not be dissing him, but he's of age where that happens.

00:30:00.000 I think he's going to be in a wheelchair, they're going to roll him into the sunroom with a little blanket on his lap, and he's just going to snore away in the sun.

00:30:07.000 Look, if that happens, though, the whole point of Joe Biden was to get a calming force in the White House who can then make it easier for a Democrat the next time around.

00:30:18.000 I think it's a bad strategy if they think it's going to be Kamala Harris, and I think you're right.

00:30:23.000 I think they intended it to be, and she did not perform nearly as well as she was supposed to.

00:30:29.000 Let me ask you something.

00:30:31.000 Who is this political consultant that keeps telling people like Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris to laugh?

00:30:36.000 Inappropriately and randomly.

00:30:38.000 Well, and especially if you have the most irritating and grating laugh.

00:30:43.000 God bless them!

00:30:44.000 But, you know, it really is.

00:30:46.000 There are some people who just have really unorganic laugh because it's fake.

00:30:51.000 Yeah.

00:30:51.000 And when it's fake, it's really, really grating.

00:30:54.000 So just stop it.

00:30:55.000 Just tell them to be like normal human beings.

00:30:57.000 And you would have thought that they would have picked that up with Hillary Clinton, who Came off as presidential if you took away all the phony nonsense that- The cackling?

00:31:07.000 Honestly, I just don't understand that.

00:31:09.000 It was like, you've got the worst stereotype in the world.

00:31:12.000 Let's have Hillary Clinton cackle all the time. 1.00

00:31:14.000 Yeah.

00:31:16.000 It was the Botox too.

00:31:18.000 In like 2006, she wasn't all Botoxed up.

00:31:20.000 And then all of a sudden she just got all face jacked and then started... It's the equivalent. 0.64

00:31:26.000 I think they did it with Sarah Palin too, which is like, really lean into the small town mayor thing and use all these isms.

00:31:33.000 And it just, it came off as a little bit too phony.

00:31:36.000 Whereas Joe Biden, regardless of what you think about his policies, as a personality, he's likable.

00:31:43.000 He has a likable personality.

00:31:45.000 I don't trust it, but it's a likable personality.

00:31:47.000 You're saying you didn't like Hillary Clinton who had hot sauce in her bag when asked about it on a popular hip-hop radio show?

00:31:54.000 That didn't work for you?

00:31:56.000 Or Kamala Harris who somehow managed to listen to rap before it came out? 0.99

00:31:59.000 That was impressive.

00:32:00.000 Or Andrew Yang.

00:32:02.000 Today, who is at an exquisite, beautiful store talking about how he loves the bodegas who left his bananas behind.

00:32:08.000 I don't know if you've seen that cringy Andrew Yang video today.

00:32:11.000 He left his bananas on the table.

00:32:13.000 He bought them.

00:32:14.000 He left them there.

00:32:15.000 He couldn't even peel one.

00:32:17.000 And then he's like, yes, guys.

00:32:19.000 And he was in the most, like, amazing, glorious store that you could ever imagine.

00:32:22.000 He's like, this is a bodega.

00:32:24.000 It wasn't a bodega.

00:32:24.000 What's funny about the Andrew Yang running for mayor thing is that His big campaign policy has always been universal basic income, and now he's proposing what I think may be the worst iteration of it, which is, it's like $500,000 for low-income people in New York, which, I'm sorry, I know it's cliche, but would just incentivize people to not work.

00:32:46.000 Because what happens when you do things like this is someone could be on the threshold and say, I better work a couple less hours, otherwise I'll get kicked off these benefits.

00:32:53.000 If that's, I'm giving a generalization to what his plan is, but more importantly, he's been criticized because, you know, theoretically, the plan could work at the federal level because the Fed can print and borrow money.

00:33:04.000 New York can't.

00:33:04.000 New York needs revenue.

00:33:06.000 So where are you going to get this money to just start giving out to New Yorkers?

00:33:08.000 Especially as the rich folks are fleeing.

00:33:10.000 Well, they might be bailed out by Biden's new $1.9 trillion plan that he's putting forward, where he talks about giving tens of billions of dollars to states who are in need.

00:33:23.000 New York City has been in need before COVID because of their overspending.

00:33:27.000 Now that problem is exacerbated to 20-fold, 100-fold, because again, as you said, all the people with means are leaving.

00:33:35.000 The people who can't leave are stuck there.

00:33:37.000 And they're literally talking about changing all the office buildings into apartment buildings.

00:33:42.000 So who's going to want to live in a place where there's no jobs?

00:33:45.000 There's nowhere to work, and you have the highest taxes in nearly all of the United States.

00:33:50.000 Joe Biden's plan, as part of his new $1.9 trillion, is an increase of the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.

00:33:57.000 So across the board, everywhere.

00:33:59.000 You could be in the Oklahoma panhandle, And make very little money, well, good news, $15 an hour for everybody.

00:34:07.000 Well, all businesses have it.

00:34:08.000 I mean, they all have that money just on standby.

00:34:10.000 Of course, of course.

00:34:11.000 They're just hanging on to it because they're greedy.

00:34:13.000 Right, exactly.

00:34:15.000 Leftists totally get this, that all businesses everywhere, at any given moment, have millions of dollars just sitting in a bank account, and that, well, they're like dragons sitting atop their pile of gold.

00:34:26.000 They just don't want to give it to anybody.

00:34:28.000 Especially in rural America, I'm told.

00:34:30.000 Right, right.

00:34:31.000 So what we need is a valiant knight, like Joe Biden, to force those dragons to give up the gold to the townspeople.

00:34:37.000 Problem solved.

00:34:38.000 Is this for waiters, too?

00:34:39.000 That are making $2.13 an hour?

00:34:42.000 They're getting rid of, or they want to get rid of that wage tip, lower minimum wage. 0.99

00:34:47.000 Because we did this in Seattle, and we had these conversations.

00:34:52.000 You would be hard-pressed to find a person who worked at a restaurant who wanted that idea.

00:34:58.000 No one wanted that.

00:34:59.000 They were like, we make so much more money under this current system. 0.82

00:35:02.000 And they ended up getting screwed.

00:35:04.000 I'm down for not having to tip anymore.

00:35:06.000 So that plan went through and what were the effects of it?

00:35:09.000 So we're still learning the long-term effects because this wasn't that long ago.

00:35:12.000 But one thing that we definitely saw happening was Hours were getting cut because they were almost hitting that threshold where they were no longer able to get subsidies.

00:35:25.000 But if they were to get off those subsidies because they're now making $15 an hour now it's like 16 and 20 something cents.

00:35:31.000 It's still not enough to live in Seattle.

00:35:34.000 While at the exact same time you have the Seattle City Council and the Mayor's Office constantly changing a whole bunch of different programs, increasing taxes, Making it harder to build homes and apartments.

00:35:46.000 And so the cost of living continues to go up.

00:35:49.000 So it's, it's ludicrous.

00:35:51.000 They just ended up changing the way that Uber rideshare, the rideshare model.

00:35:56.000 So now you have to guarantee that they're making a minimum wage on top of all these new benefits, which Uber came out and said, okay, but as of right now, we're now 25% more expensive to the customers.

00:36:08.000 By April, we expect it to be 40% and So far, they're sticking.

00:36:12.000 It's way more expensive.

00:36:12.000 Well, that's good, though, because the cab drivers don't like Uber.

00:36:15.000 Yeah, well, that's, of course, that's really what this is about.

00:36:17.000 But all the drivers are like, oh, this is great.

00:36:18.000 We're going to make so much more money.

00:36:20.000 Not if people don't take the Uber.

00:36:23.000 Right.

00:36:24.000 And if they do take the Uber, it's because they can now afford to take the Uber, which means your city is not appealing to the diversity of socioeconomic backgrounds.

00:36:34.000 You're now, again, catering to people who can't afford to live in Seattle, which is the exact opposite of what you said you wanted to do.

00:36:40.000 I gotta point out the dark truth about the restaurant industry.

00:36:43.000 Waiters that make $3 an hour will subsist off of cash tips that they don't declare and don't pay taxes on.

00:36:51.000 The restaurant also does not have to declare it or pay taxes on it.

00:36:54.000 That's existed since probably the beginning of time.

00:36:57.000 They love it!

00:36:57.000 If they want to change that and start forcing them to take salaries or huge minimum wages and then no tips, it's going to destroy the restaurant industry.

00:37:06.000 I know the IRS probably doesn't like to hear that, IRS, but that's the way the restaurant industry works.

00:37:10.000 They get cash chips, they don't declare them.

00:37:12.000 I don't think it'll destroy the restaurant industry, but I do think all current waitstaff will get a very large red pill shoved down their throat when they're like, my income just dropped by 60-something percent.

00:37:23.000 And the rest don't have to fire them because they can't front that money.

00:37:26.000 It's tip money that they don't have to pay.

00:37:30.000 They'll increase the prices.

00:37:31.000 Yeah.

00:37:31.000 And then the wait staff won't come in and then they won't be able to pay enough waiters.

00:37:35.000 Then they'll have to cut back on their waiters and they won't have enough servers to serve the food. 0.93

00:37:38.000 Their service will decline.

00:37:39.000 People will stop coming in.

00:37:40.000 It's just a downward spiral.

00:37:42.000 It's kind of funny how the politicians who promise to help the poor people the most are actually creating the most amount of poor people and serving and catering the super rich.

00:37:50.000 Have you, uh, I think you've seen this video, Luke, but there's a viral video, there's a video game, it's called, I forget what it's called, City State 2, maybe?

00:37:58.000 And so there's this guy, he plays the games, he makes YouTube videos of his games, and then he publishes them.

00:38:03.000 Well, there was a really funny moment where he decided to create a city state that had no laws, and he was like, it's gonna be chaos, it's gonna be murder and poverty, and so he was like, no regulations!

00:38:15.000 Free market everything, no taxes, no support, no police.

00:38:18.000 And then as he progresses through the game, there's zero poverty, every building is becoming a luxury high-rise, and he's laughing, he's like, what's happening?

00:38:26.000 Everybody's rich, there's no protest, there's no poverty, there's no crime, why is this?

00:38:31.000 And then a bunch of libertarians and ANCAPs and conservatives start sharing the video, and they were like, progressive tries making an anarcho-capitalist dystopia turns into a utopia.

00:38:42.000 So, I'm not saying the video game is a perfect model for the real world, but I do think it is important to point out, sometimes, actually, kind of a lot of the time, the government tries to step in, thinking they're smart enough as a committee to alter the economy of an entire city of millions of people, and that it's gonna work.

00:39:02.000 I'm sorry, man, look.

00:39:04.000 I'm not a laissez-faire capitalist by any means.

00:39:06.000 I'm actually kind of left on economic policy.

00:39:08.000 But I can be the first to tell you a decentralized network is going to be smarter and better at solving problems than a committee, than a small group of people who can't see the entire problem for what it is.

00:39:19.000 Especially when you're in these cities where it's kind of one-party rule.

00:39:24.000 And that's the same for conservatives.

00:39:26.000 I imagine that if you had a large urban city and it was only run by conservatives, you're running into the same problems.

00:39:34.000 I do think you need the person to tell you why they think you're wrong.

00:39:38.000 Even if you ignore them the entire time, it does start getting into your head and you do start to question some of your own moves.

00:39:45.000 And I do think that that ultimately leads to better decisions.

00:39:49.000 But we've got so many cities from New York and Seattle and Portland and Minneapolis Where that just does not exist, and we've seen the consequences of city halls run that way.

00:40:02.000 I mean, they're just unaccountable one-party rule districts that, of course, we have to understand are laying the blueprints of what most likely will happen on a federal level with, of course, the federal government.

00:40:15.000 When we're talking about Democrats' control of the Senate, the Congress, the Executive Office, We're seeing something that really is going to truly shape the future of this country, and now Biden's going to be bailing out all the horrible mistakes, all the horrible decisions that they made, so there's no incentive for them to actually face reality and the consequences of their horrible actions, because Biden's just going to come in and bail everyone out, and who's going to pay for that?

00:40:43.000 The people who didn't make the bad mistakes, the people who conserved their money, saved their money, are now going

00:40:48.000 to have to pay more taxes and deal with more bullcrap because of other people's mistakes. I'm gonna

00:40:52.000 say the naughty words, civil war. And the reason why is what we're seeing right 0.81

00:40:59.000 now appears to be a political civil war every four years.

00:41:03.000 And it's been increasingly getting worse.

00:41:06.000 2016 was insane.

00:41:06.000 Trump wins, they scream Russia at the top of their lungs, banging their heads on the wall.

00:41:10.000 Rachel Maddow is, you know, screaming.

00:41:13.000 Chris Hayes.

00:41:14.000 Jonathan Chaik goes on MSNBC and says Trump may have been an asset of the Russians since the 80s when they were part of the Soviet Union. 0.79

00:41:19.000 It's just psychotic nonsense.

00:41:21.000 Impeachment, impeachment, investigations for years.

00:41:26.000 See, what happens is they use every political maneuver and every legal maneuver they have to try and destroy the other side.

00:41:32.000 Now what's happening?

00:41:34.000 We got Marjorie Taylor Greene on day one.

00:41:35.000 She will file articles of impeachment against Joe Biden.

00:41:39.000 The Democrats are now taking control of the federal government in terms of the Senate and the House.

00:41:43.000 I'm sorry, the Senate, the House, and the executive branch.

00:41:45.000 And then they're going to enact laws that large portions of the country does not want.

00:41:50.000 The divide between the cultures of how people want to live are so dramatically different that when you get Democrats in office, these policies Joe Biden's proposing, especially gun control for instance, it makes no sense to raise the minimum wage in rural Oklahoma and ban them from buying guns when they live in the middle of nowhere.

00:42:10.000 Why should the law for New York City be the same as this place?

00:42:13.000 It doesn't make sense.

00:42:13.000 That's why we have the system we have.

00:42:15.000 But now that everything's becoming hyper-federalized, what do we get?

00:42:20.000 Republicans have to win at the federal level.

00:42:22.000 Democrats have to win at the federal level.

00:42:24.000 And we get to the point where both sides continually increase the rhetoric against the other, as they become more and more different and more and more opposed to each other's worldview than hatred, fear, and eventually violence.

00:42:38.000 Which brings me to this next story.

00:42:40.000 Business Insider says, according to Business Insider, Tucker Carlson mocks Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for thinking she might die during the Capitol riot in which five people died. 0.96

00:42:50.000 You see how they do that headline?

00:42:52.000 Look, I can't speak to what Ocasio-Cortez is feeling or fearing.

00:42:58.000 But we also have this story out from NBC where they said some Democrats think their colleagues want to kill them or will kill them or whatever.

00:43:07.000 AOC said she narrowly escaped with her life or narrowly avoided death.

00:43:11.000 She said that she wasn't sure if she should go into the secure chamber because her colleagues may reveal her location to the far right and white supremacists. 0.89

00:43:20.000 And she literally calls members of Congress, far right, white supremacists, white supremacist sympathizers, And that is insane. 0.92

00:43:29.000 They're not. 0.96

00:43:30.000 They're just Republicans.

00:43:31.000 But that kind of rhetoric of the other being an evil villain, where they view them not as just a conservative, but as literally a white supremacist, and then saying she thinks she will die, is some of the most extreme rhetoric I've ever heard in my life.

00:43:44.000 Why are they throwing around all the racial supremacy stuff?

00:43:47.000 Because it's a tribal signal.

00:43:50.000 It's literally the coded language that the left has said the right uses non-stop.

00:43:57.000 And some folks on the right use coded language, but they're very clearly using It's not even close to subtle language here.

00:44:05.000 They're flatly calling someone a white supremacist.

00:44:09.000 And I take, you know, as a Jew, if you tell me someone is a Nazi, I'm going to have a slightly different response than the average person.

00:44:18.000 And so when you call someone a white supremacist, I would argue Especially because it's being done in bad faith, you are trying to incite violence.

00:44:27.000 It's not merely trying to demonize the other side for political gain, which is clearly their intent.

00:44:31.000 I just don't think they're thinking it all the way through.

00:44:35.000 You know, many on the right will call the left communists or far left or whatever, socialists.

00:44:42.000 And then I see a lot of comments from actual leftists where they're like, you know, conservatives call Joe Biden far left, and that's absurd.

00:44:48.000 And I'm like, that absolutely is absurd.

00:44:51.000 Joe Biden is establishment corporatist crony.

00:44:53.000 He's not far left.

00:44:54.000 But there's a big difference between saying, Ocasio-Cortez is a socialist.

00:44:59.000 Cause she is. 0.75

00:45:00.000 And her saying they're white supremacists. 1.00

00:45:03.000 One of those is maybe hyperbolic. 0.70

00:45:05.000 One of those is extreme bad faith meant to manipulate and lie.

00:45:09.000 So I was thinking about this.

00:45:11.000 I keep hearing about the double standard.

00:45:13.000 I've reported on the double standard.

00:45:14.000 The media will say the peaceful protests.

00:45:18.000 The media will stand in front of a burning building and say, I know about the fire, but it's mostly peaceful, right?

00:45:26.000 And then you get one event with Trump supporters, I'm not talking about the Capitol, and they'll say, violent extremists and terrorists, and they'll amp it up to tenfold.

00:45:35.000 And I was thinking about this.

00:45:37.000 There's no point in acting like we should be shocked by this.

00:45:40.000 It was Aras Racino, so I'm probably pronouncing your name wrong, I always say that, he wrote for UnHerd that conservatives should stop whining about this.

00:45:48.000 There's no debate anymore.

00:45:50.000 The left does not care.

00:45:52.000 You've got two sides that want their rioters to be protected and want the other rioters to be arrested, right?

00:45:58.000 But I do think it's fair to point out conservatives are on the losing end of this because for too long they didn't realize the game the left was playing.

00:46:06.000 Democrats and leftists say this exact same thing of Republicans, but Republicans keep taking Democrats at their word.

00:46:14.000 Every step of the way.

00:46:15.000 Democrats don't.

00:46:16.000 They'll come out and say, these riots are the voice, it's the language of the unheard, and that you have to understand their anger.

00:46:22.000 And then if any Trump supporters come out and just stand on the steps of the Capitol building in Michigan, they scream terrorist. 0.99

00:46:29.000 You're a terrorist!

00:46:30.000 When you have far leftists marching, you actually get conservatives defending their right to free speech, saying, well, you know they have the right to speak. 0.99

00:46:36.000 And then when they smash windows and burn buildings down, conservatives complain.

00:46:40.000 And the left says nothing.

00:46:43.000 So I was wondering myself, at what point will conservatives have to realize the left isn't playing by any rules?

00:46:50.000 It's just manipulation of those who are unwilling to learn or have no idea what's going on.

00:46:54.000 I think, actually, conservatives realized this a while ago with, you know, voting for Donald Trump, which brings me back to... And you're saying voters, not politicians.

00:47:03.000 Yeah, like the voters realized what was going on and said, give me Trump.

00:47:06.000 And so there was a comment, we got a Super Chat a while ago, where they said that when you have two factions and one is willing to use force to take what they want and the other isn't, well, then you just, you'll have a conflict.

00:47:18.000 But when both sides, when the other side decides they're going to start fighting back, then you have a war.

00:47:23.000 Well, that's where we are now, right?

00:47:25.000 I'm not saying hot war in the sense of literal people marching on a battlefront.

00:47:30.000 I mean, you have Democrats who have been, by any means necessary, trying to take power.

00:47:35.000 They literally say those words.

00:47:37.000 And Republicans kept acting like there was a fair game here.

00:47:40.000 So the example is universal condemnation, conservatives and Democrats, Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and liberals, over the Capitol riots.

00:47:49.000 Black Lives Matter?

00:47:50.000 Only conservatives.

00:47:51.000 There's clearly someone not here playing the game.

00:47:54.000 And so as long as conservatives keep assuming that there's an actual game to be played, they'll keep losing.

00:48:00.000 I think there's a calculation from Republicans that will be, by allowing it to go on, the voters will get sick of it and connect the dots on their own.

00:48:11.000 Or, by pointing it out, they'll connect the dots and get sick of it and vote these people out.

00:48:15.000 And I think the instincts there are correct.

00:48:18.000 I think what was not calculated was the Trump effect, because Trump is very disruptive to the traditional way we have our leaders, how they act.

00:48:29.000 He was, by being so open on Twitter for example, and I say this about him all the time, where he is the most transparent president we've ever had, because he just tweets his thoughts.

00:48:40.000 But that makes him very vulnerable.

00:48:42.000 That makes it very easy to go after him.

00:48:44.000 It makes it very easy to say he is too disruptive.

00:48:46.000 And then you've got someone like a Joe Biden.

00:48:48.000 Because remember, when you had all the Democrats coming out, there were a whole bunch of people who were very, very, very far to the left.

00:48:54.000 And Joe Biden.

00:48:55.000 Joe Biden was the one who came out.

00:48:57.000 Because I think people instinctively understood that they didn't want to go very, very, very far.

00:49:03.000 Because they did that once with Trump, from a personality perspective.

00:49:07.000 And it didn't turn out so well in their view.

00:49:09.000 They wanted to calm things down.

00:49:11.000 And so I do think, and we'll find this out in two years, was it Trump that got in the way of a Republican strategy to sort of sit back, point out all of the biases, point out the double standards, point out how crazy they are, and just let them I think he did because he would get on Twitter and be like, the far leftists are something, something galvanizing this group of people and turning them into this faction.

00:49:40.000 And he was the president and he would say that there was a far left movement and there wasn't, but then he helped create one.

00:49:47.000 There's definitely a far left movement.

00:49:49.000 I think he got in the way.

00:49:51.000 It wasn't organized until he started talking about giving them something to all hate.

00:49:56.000 Bro, you just didn't see it.

00:49:57.000 It's been going on for a long, long time.

00:50:00.000 I was on the ground at Occupy walking.

00:50:01.000 I watched what these people were doing.

00:50:02.000 And it was even before Occupy walked in.

00:50:04.000 I was at Occupy.

00:50:05.000 I wasn't a far-left extremist.

00:50:06.000 Then you weren't paying attention to the facilitators.

00:50:08.000 It was down with the Federal Reserve fixing the banking system.

00:50:10.000 No, absolutely not, bro.

00:50:12.000 The facilitators who took over were intersectional cultists.

00:50:15.000 Yeah, I saw that, dude.

00:50:16.000 I was told I couldn't speak because I was white.

00:50:18.000 because I was white. Exactly. They took it over. I watched this all happen. That was

00:50:22.000 years before Trump. That was five years. Trump is not the cause of Trump didn't turn people

00:50:27.000 into this. He was he's a symptom of what's happening. Just galvanized it. I don't think

00:50:32.000 I think he's a manifestation of the anger people were experiencing, and that's why he's an imperfect avatar.

00:50:37.000 He was just the guy who was there that people put their anger into.

00:50:41.000 The system was broken, their jobs were stripped away, free trade took these things from them, and they saw the game wasn't being played fairly.

00:50:49.000 Yes, for the people who voted for him.

00:50:51.000 And the one thing that we all have to remember is he did not win the popular vote.

00:50:54.000 Which I do think puts a little bit of a wrinkle in that argument.

00:50:57.000 Because he won based on the Electoral College vote.

00:51:00.000 Narrowly.

00:51:01.000 Narrowly.

00:51:01.000 And it was a smart strategy the way that he did it.

00:51:04.000 And he definitely connected with those voters who felt exactly that way.

00:51:08.000 But when we go from a popular vote perspective, we can't simply ignore that part for that explanation.

00:51:14.000 And that's why I still think you throw him out.

00:51:17.000 It was an anomaly election.

00:51:20.000 It was.

00:51:21.000 He is an anomaly candidate, which is why he didn't win a second time.

00:51:25.000 I don't necessarily blame the pandemic.

00:51:28.000 Obviously, it did not help.

00:51:30.000 I do think that when you have four years of media that goes after the guy on everything that he does, it does wear on people.

00:51:37.000 74 million votes, the most of any sitting president, I think the contributing factor was the media was screaming.

00:51:43.000 You turned on any news outlet, except for Fox News, I guess, and just imagine Brian Souther going, The whole time.

00:51:50.000 And so finally people are like, make it stop, make it stop.

00:51:53.000 And then you got regular people who didn't care, were forced into the political world because of the COVID lockdowns.

00:51:59.000 They couldn't go out, they couldn't socialize.

00:52:01.000 I know, I know some people who have no business being in politics.

00:52:04.000 They only tweet about it now.

00:52:05.000 And I'm like, dude, you're, you're, you're a mechanic.

00:52:08.000 You've never talked this before in your life.

00:52:11.000 And all of a sudden you're like the Democrat cheerleader.

00:52:13.000 When the lockdowns happened, their normal communication was disrupted.

00:52:17.000 The normal things they cared about, the video games, the movies, the sports, so they go on social media where it's all politics all the time.

00:52:24.000 And then you force people into this room where everyone's just screaming, and then they beg it to stop and they vote for Joe Biden.

00:52:31.000 Yeah, look, I 100% agree with people wanting a reset to calm things down.

00:52:36.000 I think Trump would have won.

00:52:39.000 If there was no COVID, if that didn't happen, obviously Trump would have won because we had Moody's analytics, numerous polls, forecasters predicting a Trump victory off of standard metrics.

00:52:50.000 When COVID hit, a few of them still predicted a Trump victory, but many of them backed away because the economy was in the gutter. 1.00

00:52:56.000 And as they say, it's the economy, stupid. 0.98

00:52:58.000 But I think the biggest factor was, and it's partly, I think, well, I shouldn't say partly, I should say in many ways, Trump's fault. 0.99

00:53:04.000 Trump really went after the media.

00:53:06.000 He made it very personal for them.

00:53:08.000 Yeah.

00:53:08.000 And he played to their egos and weaponized that.

00:53:11.000 And that turned them against him to an extreme degree.

00:53:13.000 He did that to people, just common people, too.

00:53:16.000 Well, because Trump was like, the media, it's lying, it's fake news, and he was constantly digging into them and going after them, they decided to make the fight personal.

00:53:25.000 And Jon Stewart brought it up.

00:53:26.000 He said Trump played, you know, these journalists are very egotistical, so when Trump says something, they take it personally and go after him.

00:53:33.000 I've honestly never seen a president be so antagonistic since Nixon.

00:53:38.000 Nixon hated the hippies and the Black Panther movement so bad, and they did impeach Nixon.

00:53:44.000 You could argue that Obama was antagonistic to the right.

00:53:46.000 He was saying a lot of similar things about Fox News.

00:53:49.000 It was in a different way.

00:53:52.000 He wasn't overtly on Twitter being like, those far right.

00:53:55.000 There was no Twitter.

00:53:56.000 Oh yeah, there was Twitter.

00:53:58.000 At the time when Obama came in, Twitter was not prominent at all.

00:54:03.000 He wasn't using his influence to talk about the far right, ever.

00:54:06.000 This is the first president to use Twitter throughout an entire term.

00:54:11.000 And even though I think it's probably the wrong way to use it, We don't really know if it was the wrong way or not, because he's the first person to do it.

00:54:17.000 No, I think there's... I've talked to a lot of people throughout the past several years, and most of the regular people I've spoken to would say, you know, the ones that supported him, yeah, you know, I voted for him, but I just wish he wouldn't tweet.

00:54:29.000 Yeah.

00:54:29.000 And then he would, and people would roll their eyes, and that was it.

00:54:33.000 He gave so much fuel To the media to complain about.

00:54:38.000 I mean, there were people, journalists whose job was to wait for their phone to buzz with a Trump tweet.

00:54:44.000 People built careers being reply guys to Trump, and that kept the cycle going.

00:54:50.000 If Trump just didn't tweet for one month and said nothing, the news cycle would be forced down.

00:54:54.000 Their Twitter reply guys would be out of business, but Trump couldn't let it go.

00:54:58.000 There's like a phenomenon where you become addicted to pain.

00:55:00.000 I don't know if you guys have ever felt like you have like a sore shoulder and then all of a sudden one day you change your posture, your shoulder's not sore anymore and you miss tweaking it.

00:55:07.000 So you go ahead and you tweak it again and the soreness comes back and you're like, oh, there's that familiar.

00:55:12.000 Have you guys ever done that?

00:55:13.000 No.

00:55:14.000 I'm alone in the room here.

00:55:15.000 So like, it has a lot to do with posture.

00:55:17.000 Like there's an addiction to feeling something.

00:55:21.000 Whether it's good or bad.

00:55:22.000 And I think people felt like that with Trump's tweets.

00:55:25.000 Trump would say something because the media would lie.

00:55:27.000 And then he found his way to speak to the people directly.

00:55:30.000 So then he would tweet out, that's not true, that's fake news.

00:55:33.000 Then the people who don't actually care about Trump, these reply bots and reply guys, build a career off it.

00:55:39.000 What happens is then they end up getting 700,000 followers, building a community.

00:55:45.000 That's only shared interest is orange man bad, which creates the narrative and keeps it.

00:55:51.000 It fuels the hatred for Trump.

00:55:54.000 Trump needed to Trump should've done two things left Twitter and went to parlor or minds or any of these other platforms, maybe pocket net.

00:56:01.000 And then shut up for a little bit.

00:56:03.000 You should have made a YouTube channel. 0.97

00:56:04.000 He had one.

00:56:05.000 He had one.

00:56:05.000 Well, we should have made daily video vlogs.

00:56:07.000 Yep.

00:56:08.000 That would be amazing.

00:56:09.000 I think he should have said anything.

00:56:11.000 He over communicated.

00:56:13.000 Yes, he did.

00:56:13.000 That was his biggest issue.

00:56:15.000 If you've got someone who is delivering, and this is COVID aside, You're killing it in the economy.

00:56:23.000 You're absolutely killing it.

00:56:24.000 From a conservative perspective, you are delivering on judges, you've got foreign policy decisions that generally are accepted by folks on the right.

00:56:33.000 People needed a reason to vote against that.

00:56:36.000 And he would give it too often.

00:56:39.000 Not always his fault.

00:56:41.000 But he made it too easy.

00:56:43.000 I'm starting to think that a lot of politicians, a lot of people in the media are understanding that the more extreme you could make a situation, the more extreme language you could use, the more emotional ammunition you have.

00:56:55.000 But they keep forgetting that this leads to also extreme actions and they don't really understand the full kind of ramifications behind it.

00:57:02.000 And they're caught in this loop trying to get all the attention, trying to get all the clicks.

00:57:06.000 And I would say, you know, Donald Trump, especially with some of his more bombastic style, was also a part of that as much as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

00:57:15.000 Now, I know people like to label these people as kind of populists, but also their strongest asset that makes people believe that they're populist, I believe is also their Achilles heel, which should be understood in context here as well.

00:57:29.000 Did you guys see that picture of Kathy Griffin holding Trump's head, beheaded, all bloody?

00:57:33.000 I'm not familiar.

00:57:34.000 It just started being recycled.

00:57:36.000 Kathy Griffin, this comedian, but I'll tell you just so if you don't know, look it up, Kathy Griffin, Trump's head, did a photo shoot where she was like, in the middle of the shoot, she was like, let's just do this and held up Trump's bloody head.

00:57:49.000 As if that's not incitation to violence, like spinning things towards what they've become.

00:57:54.000 And she didn't get banned off Twitter?

00:57:56.000 She got fired from CNN.

00:57:58.000 Well, she didn't get banned off Twitter. 0.93

00:57:59.000 And she had a mental breakdown and was like, my life is over!

00:58:02.000 And she was crying and begging for her job back. 0.93

00:58:04.000 She went nuts.

00:58:05.000 And then she doubled down later because her life's already destroyed.

00:58:08.000 Think about the level of psychosis on the left you have to get to before they actually do anything.

00:58:13.000 She's still on Twitter after posting that, like you were saying.

00:58:16.000 On the right, you could say, learned a code, gone. 0.90

00:58:19.000 Like that was really a, I mean, it was a free artistic expression, I suppose, to hold the president's head up all bloody and beheaded.

00:58:27.000 If you want to do it with Biden, would that be okay now?

00:58:30.000 Well, I think someone already tried it with Biden and was taken down.

00:58:33.000 I'm not surprised.

00:58:36.000 I remember hearing something.

00:58:37.000 I was surprised.

00:58:38.000 It is free expression and it's also odious.

00:58:42.000 There you go.

00:58:46.000 I think what we need now is the next person that needs to leave office is probably Ocasio-Cortez because I think she might be one of the most high-profile and bombastic Politicians we have? 1.00

00:58:58.000 I think she's very, very much like Trump.

00:59:00.000 I mean, you look at the things she says that we were just talking about, where she's like, I narrowly escaped death. 0.99

00:59:06.000 My colleagues are white supremacists who might kill me. 0.99

00:59:08.000 It's like, dude, you're making it all worse. 1.00

00:59:10.000 Calm down.

00:59:12.000 Lauren Boebert is not a white supremacist.

00:59:14.000 She's not going to hurt you.

00:59:16.000 She's just a five foot tall woman who wants to have a gun. 1.00

00:59:18.000 People have guns.

00:59:19.000 Lots of them.

00:59:21.000 Yeah, but, I mean, she is acting the way that you would expect someone that age to act on social media. 1.00

00:59:28.000 That it's all about the you.

00:59:29.000 Isn't Lauren Boebert the same age? 0.85

00:59:31.000 Is she?

00:59:31.000 Uh, I think she's a little bit older, actually.

00:59:33.000 Yeah, she's got three boys.

00:59:34.000 But still, like, they're both, you know, uh, I think, you know, AOC's in her early thirties, Lauren's in her mid-thirties.

00:59:39.000 She's a millennial, and that's generally a millennial. 0.99

00:59:42.000 Not all Millennials.

00:59:43.000 That is generally how Millennials act on social media.

00:59:46.000 Sure.

00:59:46.000 But this idea that she's somehow, you know, against type.

00:59:50.000 Are you?

00:59:50.000 She's gone.

00:59:51.000 I don't care how she acts.

00:59:53.000 The issue is we need everybody to chill out.

00:59:56.000 Yeah.

00:59:56.000 And start talking.

00:59:57.000 And she is setting things on fire.

01:00:00.000 And don't get me wrong.

01:00:01.000 Trump did, too.

01:00:02.000 I think she's very much like Trump.

01:00:04.000 OK, now Trump's been banned from everything and they're all cheering for it.

01:00:07.000 OK, great.

01:00:08.000 If we're gonna be banning people, then she's gotta get banned too, because she says inflammatory 1.00

01:00:12.000 stuff.

01:00:13.000 Now, the left defends her, and they'll be like, that's not true.

01:00:16.000 Of course, on the right defends Trump, I don't care.

01:00:18.000 Listen, you don't get to act like you are absolutely perfect.

01:00:21.000 They can come out and say Trump's gotta go because he's inflammatory, and simply by saying,

01:00:26.000 remember this day, he's inciting violence. 0.97

01:00:28.000 Okay, well then, when AOC comes out and says, Republicans are white supremacists who are 0.99

01:00:33.000 gonna kill me, what do you think's gonna happen if she keeps saying that? 1.00

01:00:37.000 she keeps saying that.

01:00:38.000 What about when she referred to the immigration centers as concentration camps and Double Down?

01:00:43.000 I'm not gonna say she should be banned for that. 0.99

01:00:45.000 Okay, what I'm saying is, she's allowed to her opinions, and I think she's crazy.

01:00:48.000 But when you have people who are claiming Trump is the problem, and she's doing basically the exact same thing, are you gonna call her out next?

01:00:55.000 No, they're not.

01:00:55.000 They're gonna defend her.

01:00:56.000 Yeah, and a lot of this is the responsibility of the media.

01:01:00.000 Because the truth of the matter is, those of us who are on Twitter, we are still few and far between who pay that close attention to most of this.

01:01:08.000 Tucker Carlson, most watched cable news show in history, is not reaching hundreds of millions of people, right?

01:01:15.000 And so the average person, I don't think, is getting this information.

01:01:21.000 They are aware of who she is, because she's really good at building her brand. 0.97

01:01:26.000 They probably have an opinion of her, but I bet you if you asked them some specific questions, probably couldn't answer them about her.

01:01:33.000 And the same, I mean, we know about Donald Trump. 1.00

01:01:36.000 You go to a college campus, we've all seen the stupid videos. 0.99

01:01:38.000 You ask a bunch of questions and no one knows what they're doing. 1.00

01:01:40.000 So I think that's the average person.

01:01:42.000 And so that's really on the media to sort of step up and start reporting this more.

01:01:46.000 And it can't just be Fox News.

01:01:48.000 It can't just be one-offs here and there.

01:01:50.000 They have to actually commit to it, and they're just not going to.

01:01:53.000 Tucker was the biggest show in cable until he came out against Sidney Powell, or just questioned the evidence, and then his ratings got cut in half, and now Fox News is dead last.

01:02:03.000 Isn't that crazy?

01:02:05.000 I mean, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

01:02:07.000 What happened was, when Fox News challenged Sidney Powell, Tucker Carlson was like, where's the evidence?

01:02:12.000 And everybody fled.

01:02:13.000 They went to OAN and Newsmax.

01:02:15.000 So there's some diversification among conservative news channels.

01:02:18.000 What it really reveals is that while Fox News may have been number one at the time, in terms of conservative content, it was dead last.

01:02:24.000 Just because there was only one channel.

01:02:26.000 One channel means all the conservatives go there.

01:02:29.000 So you got ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, all these networks, and their left perspective, there's substantially more viewers on the left perspective than the right.

01:02:40.000 It's been that way for a long time, except I think in talk radio.

01:02:42.000 I don't think left has an equivalent of anything in talk radio.

01:02:45.000 They tried and they failed many times.

01:02:47.000 There's weird ones.

01:02:49.000 I think because you can get the content anywhere else.

01:02:53.000 What do you mean?

01:02:54.000 The left leaning and flat out left content, you get everywhere.

01:02:59.000 Everywhere.

01:02:59.000 Right, right, right.

01:03:00.000 And so that they did not get involved in the radio side early enough,

01:03:05.000 they weren't able to really defeat what conservative talk radio has built.

01:03:09.000 Now there's some exceptions to that around the country, right?

01:03:13.000 In some of the bigger cities.

01:03:14.000 Now with YouTube there's indefinite exceptions.

01:03:16.000 A lot of very big names doing political commentary and talk on the left.

01:03:21.000 So, I mean, I think it's a good thing that if YouTube actually ends up allowing it.

01:03:25.000 The problem is, there are elements on the left, groups like Media Matters, for instance, that will just pump out fake news, and YouTube just says yes.

01:03:33.000 So, you know, Media Matters wrote about us recently, claiming that because Jack Murphy, who was on the show, said Donald Trump gave concrete examples of voter fraud, He didn't say Donald Trump gave proof.

01:03:46.000 He said examples of... I believe that's what he said.

01:03:49.000 Maybe I'm getting wrong.

01:03:50.000 They claimed that we were pushing disinformation and then demanded YouTube demonetize the content.

01:03:56.000 So the show is still monetized, but the fact that they're trying to go after us simply because we're talking about what Trump said is a level of depravity you don't see from the right to the left.

01:04:06.000 The right isn't going after the left and calling corporations to get them stripped and removed because they don't believe in it.

01:04:11.000 Maybe the liberal media is more focused on the way things look, that their viewers actually learn by watching, whereas conservative people learn by listening.

01:04:26.000 And so that's why they're drawn to more radio.

01:04:28.000 And you see Rachel Maddow with her perfect posture and done-up hair.

01:04:33.000 It's all they call him the orange man, like they're talking about the way he looks.

01:04:36.000 But so it's less about I think that's interesting observation that might be something to the way people learn.

01:04:43.000 Maybe. 0.97

01:04:43.000 The left tries to claim that talk radio succeeded on the right because people on the right are dumb and just follow the leader. 0.97

01:04:49.000 And so you'd get a Bill O'Reilly or a conservative personality and then they would just, you know, cluck along following. 0.89

01:04:55.000 I don't think that's true.

01:04:56.000 I think that's actually the left.

01:04:58.000 The left turns on CNN and accepts it all as law as if it's true.

01:05:01.000 And then you can see how The Guardian's like, my pillow guy pushes, you know, martial law when we don't even know what's on those papers.

01:05:08.000 Like, we don't know why it says that.

01:05:10.000 For all we know, it says, invoking martial law in the event, and then the part that's missing says, something happens, would be really bad and we should never do that.

01:05:17.000 We don't know what the remainder of that sentence was.

01:05:19.000 It was all about what it looked like, whereas like James O'Keefe, it's all about what you hear.

01:05:23.000 Well, another element to really kind of comprehend here is that when someone is trying to silence people, they don't have the moral high ground.

01:05:30.000 So when you have examples by Media Matters, we're also seeing other reports right now Of CNN, NBC News, New York Times trying to go after Signal and other encrypting messaging apps.

01:05:41.000 When we see Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez talking about, we need to ban polar, we need to put people on list, we need to censor the internet, we need to rein in the media.

01:05:49.000 We're seeing individuals who are so scared of ideas, of them being challenged with just words, sounds, that they have to punitively silence and make sure that those ideas don't even get discussed or even thought about.

01:06:04.000 They're at such a point in their life where they want to control what you can even think.

01:06:10.000 So when you're coming from that point of view and you're surrounding yourself with the biggest apparatuses of the police state, just a couple weeks ago you were totally apprehensive against the police state.

01:06:20.000 Now they're surrounding themselves with, what is it, 25,000 armed troops that have shoot to kill orders.

01:06:26.000 That's why I said they're not playing by any rule set.

01:06:27.000 into a fortress. When you have those kind of larger institutional powers

01:06:28.000 No.

01:06:32.000 fomenting themselves, fortifying themselves in, you really have something

01:06:36.000 to worry about and consider moving forward. That's why I said they're not

01:06:40.000 playing by any rule set. No. They're just like, oh the cops are all bad and then

01:06:43.000 once the cops are arresting Trump supporters are like, the cops are our

01:06:46.000 friends. Well, you really don't want to do violence against the

01:06:49.000 I think it's an example of why.

01:06:51.000 Because it freaks out the politicians and then they surround themselves with 25,000 shoot-to-kill cops.

01:06:55.000 Well, it depends.

01:06:57.000 Who's committing the violence?

01:06:59.000 What political cause is behind the violence?

01:07:01.000 The people that storm the Capitol.

01:07:02.000 That's one example, but there's other examples of entire police departments being sieged There was there was other events of buildings being lit on fire people inside of them There was other events where people got shot and killed During the middle of protest just a couple weeks ago that I would say that's political violence.

01:07:19.000 It's like violence the only problem is it was called out by the right-wingers when it was happening on the left and But when it's happening on the right, it's called out by right-wingers and left-wingers, rightfully so.

01:07:29.000 But it should always be called out, because when you use violence politically, everyone loses, and you're destroying the dialogue that could prevent it.

01:07:38.000 There are some people who would prefer to live in a Mad Max-style world.

01:07:42.000 Like, there are some people that want to watch the world burn, and there are some people that genuinely believe, if I can't have it, no one can.

01:07:50.000 And they'd rather burn it all to the ground than lose the fight.

01:07:52.000 That's crazy.

01:07:53.000 I don't think that's true.

01:07:54.000 That people believe that?

01:07:55.000 There are some people.

01:07:57.000 Maybe they fantasize.

01:07:58.000 Who would want to destroy the world?

01:08:01.000 I'm not saying the majority, but they exist.

01:08:03.000 It's not about destroying the world.

01:08:04.000 Do you know people like that?

01:08:05.000 Have you been reading the news and following social media?

01:08:08.000 Well, you hear like, what do you call it, like hyperbole.

01:08:13.000 But I've never met anyone like that.

01:08:16.000 The way I describe it is when you open Twitter, just picture a guy screaming at the top of his lungs.

01:08:20.000 That's what Twitter is.

01:08:21.000 You scroll through everyone going, There are people on the left and the right.

01:08:26.000 There are people on the right who are saying they will not... There was a voicemail left.

01:08:30.000 This guy got arrested.

01:08:31.000 Leaving a voicemail saying that they will never allow a Democrat to go into these buildings and that they would do some really, really bad things.

01:08:39.000 I can't repeat.

01:08:40.000 Do you know what happens if there's an actual civil war?

01:08:43.000 It is... Look at Aleppo.

01:08:45.000 You guys ever see the photos of before and after in Aleppo?

01:08:48.000 It's a town in Syria.

01:08:49.000 Beautiful city.

01:08:51.000 After the war, rubble and death.

01:08:53.000 Dude, if there was a real civil war, they would be targeting laser-targeted drone strikes on houses.

01:08:58.000 Like, they know where you live.

01:08:59.000 Do not go to war with the U.S.

01:09:00.000 government.

01:09:02.000 It's not about the U.S.

01:09:02.000 government.

01:09:03.000 Do not go to war with the far left because the U.S.

01:09:05.000 government is backing them.

01:09:06.000 A civil war is two factions fighting over control of one government, or in some definitions, factions trying to leave or split a government.

01:09:14.000 It's not, like, there's three factions.

01:09:17.000 There's the establishment and the populist left and the populist right.

01:09:19.000 We don't exactly know what's going to happen, but elements of the military and elements of law enforcement are being split among the left tribe and the right tribe lines.

01:09:28.000 So, it's not going to be laser drone strikes.

01:09:30.000 It's going to be... It would literally be military fighting military, or people just fighting people.

01:09:37.000 But I also think we need to consider, when we talk about this, is the generations of warfare.

01:09:41.000 We're not in... You know, look, we don't fight with swords anymore.

01:09:44.000 We don't fight with bows and arrows.

01:09:46.000 I mean, I guess you still kind of could use a compound bow in warfare.

01:09:49.000 It's probably effective in certain guerrilla war tactics.

01:09:51.000 But for the most part, war changes.

01:09:54.000 You know, I love that saying from Fallout, the video game, war never changes.

01:09:57.000 It actually changes a whole lot.

01:09:59.000 The weapons change, but the war stays the same.

01:10:01.000 We used to hit each other with fists, then rocks, then we made swords and clubs, then we got horses, then we got, you know, guns, then we got missiles, and then we've escalated over and over again, and now we're in propaganda and information warfare.

01:10:14.000 So, the point I'm trying to make is, I see the comments on social media from people who are saying they would rather Conflict, chaos, blown up buildings, and all of that, if it means they don't give up and their ideology persists or whatever.

01:10:29.000 But that's why it's so important to push back non-violently.

01:10:33.000 I mean, even talking about civil war makes me uncomfortable because it does, I think, inspire some of the crazies.

01:10:41.000 And they do exist.

01:10:42.000 I agree.

01:10:44.000 They're not the largest sum by any means.

01:10:48.000 It's probably less than a half of a percentage point.

01:10:51.000 But they do cause a lot of the problems.

01:10:53.000 And so we have to figure out a way to address it.

01:10:55.000 And I think it is condemning it.

01:10:57.000 Well, most of the people calling for it have never really seen conflict.

01:11:01.000 When you look at a lot of people who did see warfare, who saw people trying to kill each other and saw people die, that's the last thing that they want.

01:11:10.000 They're haunted by it.

01:11:11.000 They have PTSD.

01:11:12.000 And a lot of these vocal proponents, a lot of these most violent voices are voices that have never been in combat, don't even know what it is.

01:11:21.000 and it needs to be called out because again we all lose once that happens well and and stop talking about things as if we're currently in a war because we usually hear some of that on the left and it's coming from the anti-cop folks who are claiming we're at war with the police they're shooting us in the middle of the street like no We can have reasonable conversations about police reform if you'd like, but let's not pretend that cops are just roaming the streets of whatever city you're in and they're just randomly shooting people.

01:11:46.000 That's obviously not happening.

01:11:48.000 So when people talk like that, it does, again, it's sort of that self-fulfilling prophecy, like, I feel like they're pushing in a direction where we shouldn't want to go.

01:11:55.000 They're not doing it for that purpose.

01:11:56.000 They're doing it to win Arguments, but it's dangerous.

01:11:59.000 This is my criticism of AOC.

01:12:01.000 You know, we can criticize Trump for his, you know, bombastic nature.

01:12:05.000 But what AOC is saying right now is absolutely inflaming everything.

01:12:08.000 I've been saying for the past, you know, couple weeks now, everyone needs to calm down, meditate, go read a book, go out in nature, stay with your loved ones.

01:12:14.000 And even a month or two before that, stay home, make money.

01:12:18.000 That was something Mike Cernovich said and I agreed with.

01:12:19.000 Like, now's the time for everyone to chill.

01:12:22.000 But there's a reality to this.

01:12:24.000 I know a lot of people don't like hearing the phrase civil war, but what would you call it when you have escalating street battles for several years, one partisan group using every legal apparatus at their disposal to remove the president, ultimately now still trying to, and then it culminates with a year of mass rioting across the country defended by proponents of one political faction.

01:12:47.000 Now you have It's certainly conflict.

01:12:50.000 We're definitely not civil war.

01:12:52.000 We're at a cultural war, right?

01:12:54.000 So I think we're absolutely on that ground.

01:12:58.000 It's certainly conflict.

01:13:00.000 We're definitely not civil war.

01:13:02.000 We're at a cultural war, right?

01:13:04.000 And there is 100% violence.

01:13:06.000 When would it be a civil war?

01:13:07.000 A civil war would be a little bit more engaged with both sides.

01:13:11.000 I mean, we should not pretend that both the right and the left are doing it at equal levels as far as, you know, manpower, for example, and we're not seeing it widespread on both sides.

01:13:22.000 And I do think that that is a part of the issue and there's also there's I don't know if we could say that there is an ideal yet that both sides are fighting for versus a person they're fighting against.

01:13:35.000 I think there's certainly elements definitely on the left where they've got ideas that they're fighting for.

01:13:40.000 On the right, I don't know that yet.

01:13:42.000 Well, they're fighting against... They're fighting against other ideas, potentially.

01:13:46.000 But again, the fighting is not really happening from the right.

01:13:49.000 Here's the main issue.

01:13:50.000 I'll put it this way, as I've often put it.

01:13:52.000 If this does develop into full-scale hot conflict, then in 50 years, they will describe the moments of January 6th as well into the Civil War.

01:14:03.000 Meaning we can go way back to the Berkeley riots, where Antifa showed up and were bashing old Trump supporters and throwing explosives at them.

01:14:11.000 So when I saw that stuff, I usually say it like this.

01:14:14.000 If everything were to stop right now and de-escalate, people would say there wasn't a civil war.

01:14:19.000 If it does continue to escalate, then we are absolutely in a civil war right now.

01:14:23.000 One faction just stormed the Capitol with the misguided and rather absurd attempt at some kind of shutting down of the electoral vote count process.

01:14:34.000 The people are saying it on these videos that are getting released now.

01:14:37.000 More and more videos are coming out.

01:14:38.000 And they're saying things like, where's the count happening?

01:14:40.000 There's only one of them.

01:14:42.000 It's only one person.

01:14:43.000 We can stop them.

01:14:43.000 There's thousands of us.

01:14:44.000 One video where a lady's giving instructions about where the Senate chambers are and how to get there. 0.91

01:14:49.000 If you get to the point where you have a political faction storming into the Capitol building to subvert the political process, that's literally the borderline definition of what civil war is.

01:15:02.000 If it's inspired by delusion, do you count it as civil war?

01:15:06.000 Yes, because everybody thinks their dictator is right.

01:15:08.000 Everybody thinks their leader is the glorious leader.

01:15:12.000 You look at what happened, and I'll tell you the main difference.

01:15:16.000 The difference between the rise of a dictatorship and a civil war is whether or not one side is armed and prepared to fight back.

01:15:22.000 So you look at communist China.

01:15:25.000 The communists just abused and obliterated and murdered and destroyed.

01:15:30.000 You look at World War II Germany.

01:15:32.000 There was a lot of fighting between factions in Weimar Germany, but ultimately the communist socialists fled because the legal system, at least to a certain degree I'm reading now, many of these people in government really liked them.

01:15:46.000 They preferred the Nazi party over the communists.

01:15:48.000 If you come now to where we're at now, it could possibly be there won't be a civil war because the left controls the cultural establishment and basically the entirety of the federal government, except for the Supreme Court for now.

01:16:01.000 If it just goes that direction and conservatives just eventually get steamrolled, then no one's going to call it a civil war.

01:16:07.000 Now Jason, I would agree with you.

01:16:09.000 We're not in a civil war.

01:16:11.000 A lot of people use that kind of language hyperbolically to also get clicks.

01:16:14.000 We have to understand that.

01:16:16.000 We have to understand the future wars are fought not with bullets, tanks, or guns.

01:16:21.000 They're fought with subversion, indoctrination, influence, and when we look at the term fifth generational warfare, I think there is something to consider about what is happening culturally, what is happening through social media, what is happening on the mainstream media, on Hollywood, that is having an effect that, in part, is leading to, I believe, a larger conflict.

01:16:44.000 Maybe it's a conflict of ideas, but those ideas are paramount when it comes to the future of our children, the future of this country, and them turning out to be individuals that are self-harming, self-defeating, and people who, you know, destroy themselves internally through their bad actions that are promoted.

01:17:03.000 So that's something also to kind of largely consider here.

01:17:07.000 And if you were a strategic kind of enemy, what would you rather do?

01:17:11.000 Would you rather have a hot war where there's blood, where there's gore, there's so much violence?

01:17:17.000 Or would you rather have a war where you don't even have to shoot a gun?

01:17:21.000 So that's something also worth considering.

01:17:24.000 I have the University of San Diego article from Dr. Waseem Ahmad Qureshi, Fourth and Fifth Generation Warfare, Technology and Perceptions.

01:17:33.000 And they basically talk about in fourth generational warfare, it's the blurring of lines between politics and conflict and civilians.

01:17:42.000 So a lot of people describe what we've been going through as fourth generational war because of the low intensity conflict and violence.

01:17:48.000 Things like Antifa smashing windows, burning things down, spray painting, you know, things about liberals.

01:17:54.000 But what we're actually fully entrenched in is coming off of fourth generational warfare and moving heavily into fifth generational warfare.

01:18:02.000 So fifth generational warfare is manipulation, perception, information, propaganda, etc.

01:18:07.000 Like Luke was just saying.

01:18:09.000 There was a reason why in the past you used force against somebody.

01:18:12.000 Because you had no other means to gain control of a region or a group of people or a resource.

01:18:17.000 Today, it's extremely easy.

01:18:18.000 Propaganda and manipulation.

01:18:20.000 That's why TikTok is so dangerous.

01:18:22.000 Controlled by Chinese interests and influencing our young people, telling them what to think and feel and what to do. 1.00

01:18:28.000 And it works.

01:18:29.000 So right now you have online one side clearly losing in every respect.

01:18:35.000 They're losing physical fights.

01:18:37.000 Now don't get me wrong, the Proud Boys, you know, have beaten up Antifa pretty badly, and some of them have gone to prison for it.

01:18:42.000 But if you look at the amount of damage Antifa has done, and Black Lives Matter has done, they've caused massive damage across this country. 0.99

01:18:49.000 While symbolically storming the Capitol was probably the worst thing we've seen yet, There's way more institutional and damage to the general public of this country caused by the left and Black Lives Matter. 1.00

01:19:00.000 So, in terms of how much we are seeing the left push, substantially more.

01:19:06.000 80-20, 80% of the pushing in the conflict is coming from the left.

01:19:08.000 Cultural institutions, including news media, almost entirely dominated by the left right now.

01:19:12.000 They frame everything as though the right is bad.

01:19:15.000 The right being banned left and right and all they do is beg their establishment conservative, you know, establishment Republicans to repeal 230 or something, which never happens and won't happen. 0.99

01:19:27.000 So ultimately what happens is, in my opinion, Republican politicians are too stupid to realize what's happening around them and thus they're now having their constituents purged. 0.95

01:19:35.000 They will no longer be able to win a battle of ideas in the fifth generational conflict because they sat back and sat on their hands and did nothing. 0.98

01:19:42.000 When you nationalize elections, but when you look at the House results, for example, I mean the Democrats were supposed to win a whole bunch of House seats and they didn't.

01:19:48.000 Quite the opposite.

01:19:48.000 about it.

01:19:49.000 When you nationalize elections, but when you look at the House results, for example, I

01:19:53.000 mean, the Democrats were supposed to win a whole bunch of House seats and they didn't.

01:19:57.000 Quite the opposite.

01:19:58.000 And I think that, you know, that goes to certainly the rural versus urban city divide.

01:20:05.000 And it's definitely a right versus left at that point.

01:20:08.000 But I do think the closer you get to the people in most of the country, the Republicans tend

01:20:15.000 to do better when facing the crazy on the left.

01:20:19.000 Now, when it's both moderates going or perceived as moderates going up against each other,

01:20:23.000 That's local politics.

01:20:25.000 But think about AOC saying they're all white supremacists and Nazis and then raising millions of dollars and getting 12 million followers. 0.80

01:20:32.000 Lies work. 1.00

01:20:33.000 And the conservatives aren't playing on the same battlefield.

01:20:35.000 They're getting wiped out.

01:20:36.000 Kind of reminds me of the 60s, like Nixon had the, well, Lyndon B. Johnson had the, the left of the 60s was like the military-industrial complex using the media, and back then they had just television, and they used it to manipulate.

01:20:49.000 They had Project Mockingbird that was like the CIA was paying and extorting these media companies to pass their lies and manipulation, and the hippies and the Black Panthers were just subverted, and they were totally pressed and beaten down, kind of like you would say the right is being right now. 0.77

01:21:06.000 They were organizing, but they couldn't contend with that media.

01:21:09.000 And I just read 40 people died in the civil rights movement, 41 people.

01:21:13.000 So it was, we would never call that a civil war, ever.

01:21:16.000 No one's ever even thought to, I've never thought to refer to that era as a civil war.

01:21:19.000 It was just unrest.

01:21:21.000 It was like what we're going through now.

01:21:23.000 That's what I see now.

01:21:25.000 Yeah, but I guess that was still remnants of the actual Civil War.

01:21:30.000 You still had the Democrats, for the most part, up until a certain point, being the party of the Klan and Jim Crow and the racists.

01:21:38.000 So it was almost like it never ended.

01:21:40.000 This is the crazy thing.

01:21:40.000 I'm watching that new movie that just came out.

01:21:43.000 Have you seen it?

01:21:43.000 News of the World?

01:21:44.000 Have you heard of it?

01:21:46.000 I watched about half of it so far.

01:21:47.000 It's not good.

01:21:48.000 You didn't like it?

01:21:50.000 Well, I'm halfway through and I'm entertained.

01:21:51.000 I'm not going to pretend it's the greatest movie in the world, but it's interesting because Tom Hanks, he plays a former Confederate soldier in Texas, and you've got Union soldiers in Texas, and you can hear the rhetoric from the local Southerners, how they feel about the North, and what really drives their anger, and it's interesting to see this movie.

01:22:11.000 Highlight these people are saying rich northerners trying to force us, you know, tell us how we have to live and what we have to do Obviously civil war was very much about slavery, but there was a big element of that's not too dissimilar to what's happening today But anyway, I what the reason I bring it up is In some ways, the Civil War never ended.

01:22:29.000 You know, this is the crazy thing.

01:22:32.000 Reconstruction ended in 1876, when there was this hotly contested battle over the presidency, and opposing electors were sent to D.C., and they didn't know what to do, so they elected a panel to just basically negotiate what was going to happen, to avoid the outbreak of the Civil War again.

01:22:47.000 And what they decided, basically, was to end Reconstruction, and they would give the Republican the presidency.

01:22:53.000 From there, you ended up with the Klan.

01:22:55.000 These elements still existed, they still fought, it made its way into the Civil Rights Movement, and now we have something weird and different, but it's still, the tribes and the cultures are so dramatically different in these big cities in California, in New York, in Chicago, versus in southern cities and southern states, but more importantly, the urban versus rural divide is extremely profound and dramatic.

01:23:15.000 And you've got, because of the internet, the ideological split becoming more and more extreme.

01:23:21.000 Maybe the reality is there's elements of what this country went through that never went away, and it constantly keeps getting seeded in some fashion in different ways.

01:23:30.000 Or maybe it's just this country is way too big, and people in different states want to live in different ways, so someone in New York trying to pass a law on how people in West Virginia gotta live, that's not gonna fly with people in West Virginia.

01:23:40.000 I mean, that's the whole guiding principle behind states' rights.

01:23:43.000 But it's being ripped away.

01:23:44.000 It is, but that's why we have elections, and I don't believe that these elections are a lost cause for Republicans.

01:23:53.000 I think in two years we're going to see that shift, and historically we tend to.

01:23:57.000 I think in two years the Republicans are going to be much more progressive.

01:24:02.000 Well, another thing to kind of realize here, the base of the Republicans is being wiped out.

01:24:07.000 Whether through opioids, obesity, self-hate, suicide, self-harm, the flyover states are affected by those things more than a lot of the city areas.

01:24:18.000 And when you look at the base, they're slowly but surely killing themselves off in many instances, especially with the high suicide rates.

01:24:25.000 So that's also something to consider.

01:24:26.000 I kind of like to think they're actually being strangled out by these trade agreements set up by, namely, Democrats, where they took many of these manufacturing plants and sent them overseas.

01:24:36.000 Trump was one of the reasons why—actually, I should stop there and say the Koch brothers and Republicans were very much in favor of it for a long time as well.

01:24:42.000 I think that's why you get Donald Trump, because he said to these people in these places where the factories had been ripped away, I'm going to renegotiate for you.

01:24:48.000 I'm going to fix this problem.

01:24:50.000 That's what people wanted.

01:24:51.000 So I look at a lot of these towns.

01:24:53.000 I spent a lot of time looking at dying towns because I was thinking of like, where could we move and set up a studio with good internet that actually has some infrastructure?

01:25:01.000 And it's sad to see.

01:25:02.000 I read about a bunch of different cities in, you know, in middle America that were once thriving.

01:25:07.000 And the factory got sent to Mexico, factory got sent to China, and now their population's in rapid decline.

01:25:11.000 People are dying.

01:25:12.000 When people have no purpose is when they die.

01:25:14.000 I was reading, there's a documentary on blue zones, people who live over 100 in like high numbers.

01:25:20.000 And one of the things they mentioned is that when people retire, that's like the most likely time of death for a person, is it?

01:25:26.000 Right after they retire.

01:25:27.000 Because they no longer have a purpose, they're not doing anything, they're just wasting away.

01:25:30.000 So what we've seen with COVID especially, people sitting at home, they're just wasting away.

01:25:36.000 They're getting out of shape, their blood is getting really bad and they're like, you know, atrophying, getting depressed, a lot of suicides.

01:25:43.000 So, you know, I don't know, long story short.

01:25:48.000 I grew up outside of Akron.

01:25:49.000 It was a depressing hellhole.

01:25:51.000 It was like a rubber, the rubber boom in the 50s.

01:25:53.000 Goodyear was founded in Akron.

01:25:55.000 And then after they stopped porting all that rubber out the city, everyone just moved out. 0.79

01:26:01.000 So I grew up in that like excavated shell of a, that wasn't a megalopolis, but it was a huge city in the 50s.

01:26:09.000 And man, was it depressing.

01:26:10.000 Yeah.

01:26:11.000 But what we're seeing right now is some of those big progressive cities are starting to die.

01:26:18.000 They're not dying the quick death that some people are saying, but they are starting to show signs of that kind of decay.

01:26:27.000 When you look at Seattle and San Francisco, New York, just looking at the homeless population, the opioid epidemic, it is out of control.

01:26:36.000 Even the little towns like Cuyahoga Falls, where I'm from, the opioids are From what I know, I'm not there, so I don't, I'm not seeing it.

01:26:42.000 And I graduated high school and left the city when, you know, in the, in the nineties.

01:26:45.000 So it hadn't struck yet.

01:26:47.000 It was after we, we invaded Afghanistan that we really started bringing all that poppy in and making all the heroin for the, uh, what are they called? 0.92

01:26:55.000 So here's my question for you, Jason.

01:26:56.000 are getting pills off the street or without a prescription and apparently it's just well so

01:27:02.000 here's my question for you Jason uh why is it that every single generation in the past hundred

01:27:08.000 years has been further left than the previous i i why do you think

01:27:14.000 My assumption is they think they have to be, because especially the way that we frame it, right?

01:27:18.000 We have to be progressive.

01:27:19.000 We have to move forward.

01:27:20.000 And you see a problem and say, okay, we haven't evolved enough.

01:27:24.000 And they've been told that the only way to evolve is to change your way of thinking.

01:27:28.000 Not go back, but go forward.

01:27:31.000 And that's the only place that they could go.

01:27:32.000 I do think that there is a heavy... But what does forward mean?

01:27:35.000 Forward means to them not going back to the way things might have been.

01:27:40.000 And when you're talking about policies around homelessness and crime, certainly from a progressive point of view, going back is not where they want to go because they say that there are, well, now you're criminalizing poverty and they use those kinds of terms.

01:27:55.000 And I do think that people are susceptible to that way of thinking and they feel bad about it.

01:28:00.000 They don't want it.

01:28:01.000 And so they're willing to give a progressive a shot at that next great progressive thing that will cure whatever the city's problem.

01:28:09.000 But why do conservatives do it?

01:28:11.000 Why is it that a conservative will, in five years, become much more liberal or progressive?

01:28:17.000 I don't know if I believe that.

01:28:18.000 I think it depends on where you're talking about.

01:28:20.000 Look at Donald Trump.

01:28:21.000 Republican president.

01:28:23.000 90% of the Republican Party supports him.

01:28:25.000 And he's the first president to support gay marriage before entering office.

01:28:29.000 Yes, I do think that societally, you're going to have shifts in opinions.

01:28:34.000 And that's always going to happen.

01:28:37.000 And that I don't necessarily view as a right versus left issue.

01:28:41.000 It was, until it wasn't.

01:28:43.000 And when it wasn't, it became a societal shift.

01:28:45.000 It was no longer about politics, and that's going to happen.

01:28:48.000 There are things that conservatives are looking at that I think are right on, and I think that progressives might start to make the move.

01:28:56.000 I think you're starting to see a lot of that in some of the cities when dealing with crime and homelessness, for example.

01:29:01.000 We may see liberals and Democrats become more in favor of gun rights, considering many of them are now gun owners, especially this year.

01:29:09.000 We're not seeing it yet.

01:29:10.000 Because it takes time.

01:29:11.000 But when you look at the policies of what Democrats, liberals, progressives propose, eventually Republicans give in and adopt those policies.

01:29:20.000 Again, sometimes.

01:29:22.000 It depends on where you live.

01:29:24.000 It really does.

01:29:24.000 I mean, the thing about Donald Trump was, and we heard this from the beginning, he's not really a conservative.

01:29:30.000 He identified with the conservatives because he thought he could win that way.

01:29:33.000 And then, of course, we had the people who voted for him, not necessarily because of his conservative bona fides, right?

01:29:39.000 They did it because of what he stood for.

01:29:41.000 They liked what he stood for.

01:29:42.000 He certainly delivered on some key conservative issues.

01:29:46.000 And I point to a point, although I don't necessarily think it was him, but it's the federal judges being appointed.

01:29:52.000 Which has a significant, significant impact on the ways our laws are interpreted and enforced in this country.

01:29:59.000 And I think that's how he's going to be remembered without being actively remembered.

01:30:03.000 That's going to be his impact.

01:30:05.000 And so I think that we have enough checks and balances to stop some of that stuff, that sort of shift too far to one side.

01:30:13.000 Now, it can change.

01:30:15.000 You pack the court.

01:30:16.000 That does significantly change things.

01:30:19.000 Do they have the votes right now?

01:30:20.000 No, they don't appear to have the votes right now.

01:30:22.000 Could they in another election?

01:30:24.000 Yes, which is why a smart Republican Party will really nail down the focus and I think it's easier to focus on the issues when you don't have a candidate or a sitting president who makes it all about him.

01:30:38.000 Like an AOC makes it all about her.

01:30:40.000 Right.

01:30:41.000 Yeah, a lot of people are saying that whenever a party gains too much power and starts enacting everything they want, it freaks out moderates and the other side into action, and then they vote, and then we see this, you know, kind of back and forth.

01:30:53.000 It's the Obama shellacking.

01:30:55.000 I mean, that is a perfect example of that.

01:30:57.000 You had all this control, you had all this power, people didn't want it.

01:31:01.000 People did not want it.

01:31:03.000 And even this time around, again, slightly different.

01:31:06.000 We consider this a little bit of an anomaly as well because we're in the middle of a pandemic.

01:31:11.000 We decided to shift to mail-in voting, which I actually like.

01:31:14.000 I don't like the way that it was done necessarily, but I'm a fan of mail-in voting if you do it correctly and you set it up and you actually spend time to make sure it's secure and can't be beat.

01:31:24.000 I like that.

01:31:25.000 That shifts things around and Republicans need to do a better job about changing the way we talk about it.

01:31:32.000 Donald Trump killed his candidacy, his re-election, by going so hard after mail-in voting. 1.00

01:31:38.000 It was such a stupid strategy. 1.00

01:31:41.000 I get why he did it. 1.00

01:31:42.000 Well, he flip-flopped on it, too.

01:31:43.000 He flip-flops too much, but on this, it hurt him so bad, and it hurt in Georgia as well.

01:31:50.000 Because when you look at some of the numbers, it was small, the amount of Republicans who decided that they just were not going to vote or they were turned off by all this stuff.

01:31:56.000 It was small, but it was enough to deliver the Senate to the Democrats.

01:32:01.000 That was winnable.

01:32:03.000 Republicans maintain control of the Senate.

01:32:06.000 This conversation wouldn't happen in the same way.

01:32:08.000 Some of the themes would come up.

01:32:10.000 So it was one election, one time.

01:32:13.000 Doesn't necessarily portend things to come.

01:32:16.000 It could, right?

01:32:17.000 It absolutely could.

01:32:19.000 I'm just not sure, given the circumstances in which all of this went down and the people involved, I'm not sure it will again.

01:32:26.000 Or at least, that's what I tell myself, so don't cry.

01:32:28.000 Yeah.

01:32:28.000 Well, another thing, I want to go back to what you said about the cities and them failing.

01:32:33.000 We also have to understand they now have institutional support.

01:32:36.000 Joe Biden is going to be bailing them out in the billions of dollars.

01:32:40.000 The flyover states, the Republican states, they don't have a support base.

01:32:44.000 They don't have any kind of institutional thing that helps them not be downtrodden.

01:32:48.000 And I think they're going to be downtrodden more in the future.

01:32:50.000 I don't know if I believe that yet.

01:32:53.000 We will see when you look at Joe Manchin and how he supports what he ends up saying.

01:32:58.000 I know he's kind of all over the place sometimes, but he just said he's a no on $2,000 checks.

01:33:03.000 So let's see if he flips and maybe you will.

01:33:05.000 You have Sinema who could switch things up too. 0.86

01:33:11.000 100% ready to go there, because I don't think that they have the votes yet, unless they switch the way that they have to get the two-thirds majority.

01:33:18.000 That is completely different, and that does completely shift things.

01:33:22.000 But even then, I'm not even so sure that they can do that.

01:33:25.000 I mean, again, politicians act— Well, it's in Biden's $1.9 trillion budget.

01:33:30.000 I thought it was $1.2.

01:33:31.000 Did they change that to $1.9?

01:33:32.000 I think it's $1.9.

01:33:33.000 It was $1.9, I thought.

01:33:34.000 $1.9, too.

01:33:34.000 Print, print, print, money, print it over.

01:33:38.000 Sorry, I cut you off.

01:33:39.000 Sorry.

01:33:39.000 No, I was just going to say, let's see where it goes because politicians are political.

01:33:45.000 At the end of the day, they look at where they go and why they take these positions.

01:33:50.000 Why don't we ask you guys what you think and jump over to Super Chats to see what people are talking about.

01:33:55.000 Make sure you smash that like button if you want to support the show.

01:33:58.000 And don't forget to become a member over at TimCast.com.

01:34:01.000 We're really trying hard to get a core base of members.

01:34:05.000 Get access to members only content.

01:34:07.000 Get access to private events that we will have at our studio venue.

01:34:11.000 And it's because censorship is here.

01:34:13.000 The purge is here.

01:34:14.000 Twitter announced, what is it, 70,000 accounts were banned.

01:34:18.000 So I'm kind of like, maybe we should focus on creating something different off of these big tech platforms.

01:34:23.000 So again, TimCast.com, become a member.

01:34:26.000 We already have an exclusive segment up with Richie McGinnis, the journalist who was defamed by the New York Times.

01:34:31.000 They accused him of being a rioter and a right-wing journalist when they eventually tried to correct.

01:34:36.000 Interesting stuff, but let's read some superchats.

01:34:39.000 All right, we got Eric Douglas says, People should read That Hideous Strength by C.S.

01:34:44.000 Lewis, a book even more prophetic than 1984 that deals with the subject of scientific authorism.

01:34:50.000 Interesting.

01:34:51.000 David Jones says everyone email Trump to pardon Julian Assange.

01:34:56.000 Yeah, what do you think about that?

01:34:56.000 Do you think Trump will do it?

01:34:57.000 Do you think he should?

01:34:59.000 I don't think he's focused on anything right now other than what's going on with him and this exit on the 20th.

01:35:06.000 Is he doing some big military event for himself?

01:35:10.000 The report I heard today was he's literally just leaving on Wednesday, I think.

01:35:15.000 On Wednesday morning to Mar-a-Lago.

01:35:16.000 Yeah, he's just gone.

01:35:17.000 Well, I don't know.

01:35:18.000 I got a random text message from someone claiming that their brother's niece, you know, does that make sense?

01:35:23.000 Their brother's niece?

01:35:24.000 Yeah.

01:35:25.000 No, that's their kid.

01:35:26.000 Their cousin's best friend's niece said that Trump is gonna invoke an executive order and then become super president.

01:35:38.000 My roommate knows him.

01:35:39.000 He said the same thing.

01:35:42.000 A little-known provision in the Constitution, section 43, article 71, about becoming super president.

01:35:50.000 Yes, it must have been overlooked by these scholars.

01:35:52.000 It's written in magic marker.

01:35:53.000 Yeah.

01:35:55.000 Sharpie.

01:35:56.000 Anonymous says, do you think the censorship of social media is more related to platform globalization?

01:36:01.000 It's not about the first amendment to them.

01:36:02.000 It's one code, one platform.

01:36:04.000 The strictest policy is the rule to save money.

01:36:07.000 They literally said that to me.

01:36:09.000 That's what Jack Dorsey and Vijay got.

01:36:10.000 I said, they said, our rule base is a, is a global standard for our global audience.

01:36:14.000 So they're like basically saying, we don't care about you and your rights.

01:36:18.000 We're just trying to make the lowest common denominator standard to make money on around the world.

01:36:23.000 Let's see, what is this?

01:36:25.000 Gaku says, Mines was given a 24-hour notice by Google, so they had to gut their app on the Play Store.

01:36:31.000 If you would like to join the exodus from the cartel, download the app from the Mines website.

01:36:34.000 Is that true?

01:36:35.000 It is true.

01:36:36.000 If that happened in the last 48 hours, I didn't hear anything about it.

01:36:37.000 Yeah, Bill said it.

01:36:38.000 I saw something about it.

01:36:39.000 Really?

01:36:39.000 I did.

01:36:40.000 Wait, what?

01:36:41.000 Yeah, Bill Ottman said something about it.

01:36:43.000 I saw somebody take a screenshot from Mines and post it to Twitter.

01:36:46.000 Wow.

01:36:46.000 Yeah, I didn't have a chance to touch it.

01:36:47.000 It's because we were promoting them.

01:36:48.000 It happened like two years ago.

01:36:50.000 Are you sure it wasn't from that?

01:36:51.000 No, it was from today, I think.

01:36:53.000 Are you positive?

01:36:54.000 Why don't you check?

01:36:54.000 Because that happened a while ago and Bill talked about it.

01:36:56.000 But if they're banning what we're promoting, we really need to promote CNN.

01:37:00.000 And the Federal Reserve.

01:37:01.000 CNN, the most trusted name in news.

01:37:02.000 They're doing an awesome, great job.

01:37:05.000 I congratulate you, Mr. Cooper.

01:37:08.000 Great job.

01:37:08.000 MSNBC, also really good.

01:37:10.000 Yes, awesome.

01:37:13.000 Do not promote me.

01:37:15.000 Kevin Grip says, yeah, rants.

01:37:18.000 There you go.

01:37:19.000 Yes, correct.

01:37:20.000 Jonathan Galtarini says, I love you.

01:37:22.000 Not in that way.

01:37:23.000 True journalism is alive and well through people like you.

01:37:25.000 Have fun, everyone.

01:37:26.000 Well, if you agree with Jonathan, TimCast.com, become a member.

01:37:30.000 I'm going to let everybody in on a secret.

01:37:32.000 In our first members only segment, we swear.

01:37:35.000 A lot.

01:37:36.000 Good.

01:37:37.000 That's kind of a warning because your kids might be around.

01:37:38.000 Did you swear to God?

01:37:40.000 No.

01:37:41.000 No, we're just swearing.

01:37:42.000 It was funny because while we're recording, Richie swore and was like, oh, I can't swear.

01:37:44.000 I'm like, yes, you can.

01:37:45.000 You can, you can swear now.

01:37:47.000 Yes, that's so Richie.

01:37:47.000 That's the beauty of getting away from these sentient stories.

01:37:50.000 Do you like that more?

01:37:52.000 That freedom?

01:37:53.000 Well, I don't care to swear.

01:37:54.000 You know, I did swear because it was funny.

01:37:56.000 It was like, that was the joke.

01:37:57.000 I started cussing.

01:37:58.000 Um, but yeah, man, you know, there's a name I can't say on YouTube.

01:38:03.000 A name of a politically consequential individual.

01:38:06.000 So nobody say it if you know the name.

01:38:08.000 We'll get banned instantly.

01:38:09.000 Someone watching YouTube right now will turn this stream off if I say two words.

01:38:14.000 Yeah.

01:38:15.000 Yep.

01:38:16.000 Okay, I confirmed it.

01:38:17.000 Yeah, it's from, like, today.

01:38:19.000 At the time that this screenshot was taken, because it was on Mines, it was 28 minutes ago.

01:38:23.000 It says, alert, this is from Bill Lottman.

01:38:26.000 Google Play sent Mines a 24-hour warning.

01:38:28.000 Our response app was accepted into the store based on our interim solution and Ninja developers, but we had to remove major functionality from the version of this app.

01:38:36.000 So they did have to gut their app to keep it in the store.

01:38:39.000 We'll talk to them this weekend.

01:38:40.000 Yeah, we'll reach out to you, because we all know Bill.

01:38:42.000 And we had him on the show recently.

01:38:43.000 We'll figure out what's going on.

01:38:45.000 Alright, let's see.

01:38:47.000 GoneFall says, MyPillowGuy used to be a crack addict.

01:38:50.000 Didn't think he could make it.

01:38:52.000 Broke through the addiction.

01:38:53.000 Trump helped him further his career.

01:38:55.000 It makes sense.

01:38:56.000 The MyPillowGuy is fighting for him every step.

01:38:58.000 I believe it.

01:38:59.000 I mean, it's a tremendous story.

01:39:00.000 And I gotta be honest, I like the MyPillow.

01:39:04.000 I kinda did too.

01:39:04.000 So people either love it or hate it, in my experience.

01:39:07.000 I liked it.

01:39:07.000 I think it's fantastic.

01:39:08.000 Yeah, I have one.

01:39:10.000 I really, really like it.

01:39:11.000 You know what I think?

01:39:12.000 You need a regular pillow and a MyPillow.

01:39:13.000 And I put the MyPillow on top of the regular pillow.

01:39:15.000 I was at Walmart and I saw it and I was like, I'm gonna get one of these.

01:39:18.000 Cause I see that guy on the TV all the time.

01:39:20.000 I mean, I'll be honest with you.

01:39:23.000 Do you need to spend, what is it, 50 bucks for a pillow?

01:39:25.000 I kind of don't think so.

01:39:26.000 But I do like it, you know what I mean?

01:39:28.000 I just got a customized pillow after filling out a quiz that I'm sure was just nonsense, and I paid an obscene amount of money for it, and I love it.

01:39:35.000 I hate memory foam.

01:39:37.000 I hate it.

01:39:37.000 It's awful.

01:39:38.000 I generally agree.

01:39:40.000 It's gotta be a hybrid.

01:39:42.000 It can't just be memory foam.

01:39:44.000 Are we gonna do a whole segment dedicated to pillows?

01:39:47.000 Can we just talk for a moment about the fact that I was one of them.

01:39:52.000 I spent an ungodly amount of money on one of those pillows from the brand that we all know.

01:39:57.000 I won't name them.

01:39:59.000 And it hurt my neck so badly.

01:40:00.000 The memory foam.

01:40:01.000 Yes.

01:40:01.000 Yes, me too.

01:40:02.000 And I kept it because I spent $110 on it.

01:40:07.000 I knew somebody who had a memory foam pillow and I was like, oh, I'll sleep with this.

01:40:10.000 And I woke up, my neck was stiff and I couldn't move.

01:40:12.000 It hurt so much.

01:40:13.000 And I was like, I would rather sleep on the floor.

01:40:16.000 It's so weird.

01:40:16.000 I love memory foam.

01:40:18.000 Hey, I just read a little bit more about the mind censorship on Google.

01:40:20.000 It says that they had to remove search, discovery and comments from the new app.

01:40:26.000 Comments.

01:40:27.000 Because probably because they couldn't police all the comments.

01:40:29.000 It was too risky.

01:40:30.000 But Twitter is on the Google app.

01:40:32.000 It's nothing but comments.

01:40:33.000 But my Twitter.

01:40:34.000 I know.

01:40:35.000 I know.

01:40:35.000 Wow.

01:40:36.000 Lots of crazy, probably violative stuff on Twitter.

01:40:39.000 I don't wanna assume.

01:40:40.000 We can't even describe what's on Twitter.

01:40:43.000 Facebook is nothing but comments.

01:40:45.000 Facebook is where the rioters actually organized.

01:40:48.000 That's nuts, man.

01:40:49.000 This is monopolistic BS, dude.

01:40:51.000 It's so funny because I could send, who is Sheryl Sandberg, I could send her the links to all the Facebook groups in the Pacific Northwest by Antiva and show them the promotion of their events and then link them directly to news stories about the violence at said event.

01:41:09.000 Yeah.

01:41:10.000 But we didn't do anything.

01:41:11.000 Well, Google, yeah, Google won't take them down.

01:41:13.000 It's all a big club and you ain't in it.

01:41:16.000 Daniel Maxwell says, scary thought.

01:41:18.000 There is a faction within our government that actually wants to start a civil war, believing that they will have control over military forces, allowing them to win fast and impose a form of government of their choice on the country.

01:41:27.000 Well, I want to clarify, it's a scary thought.

01:41:30.000 It's not a fantasy, a weird one.

01:41:33.000 Well, I think, you know, there's a lot of silly ideas we entertain sometimes.

01:41:37.000 But, you know, like I said, there's a lot of conspiracy theorists who think Trump secretly put the National Guard there or whatever.

01:41:43.000 But it's not a view I prescribe to.

01:41:46.000 Matt M says a peaceful separation isn't practical because rural red parts and blue states would want to also break away, and blue states would lose their bread baskets and have less control of their food supply.

01:41:58.000 Right.

01:41:58.000 That's why, you know, what happened.

01:42:01.000 STFU FFS says, PocketNet sounds like the old P2P sharing tech.

01:42:05.000 Isn't that crazy?

01:42:07.000 When we used to have like Kazaa and like Morpheus.

01:42:09.000 Oh, I love that stuff.

01:42:10.000 LimeWire.

01:42:11.000 Remember the thing?

01:42:12.000 It was like, I think it was Kazaa.

01:42:15.000 Morpheus.

01:42:15.000 Remember that?

01:42:16.000 Morpheus was a good one.

01:42:17.000 But they were all the same.

01:42:19.000 They were, but the different interface and had a better logo.

01:42:21.000 Morpheus had a better logo.

01:42:23.000 What was the first one that Metallica went after?

01:42:25.000 Was it LimeWire?

01:42:26.000 No, it was before LimeWire.

01:42:27.000 Oh, Napster.

01:42:28.000 Yeah, but that was just MP3s.

01:42:30.000 Man, those were the days.

01:42:31.000 You'd download it and you could download anything.

01:42:33.000 Literally, you'd search for it.

01:42:34.000 Somebody had it.

01:42:35.000 That was one of the greatest breakthroughs of the internet.

01:42:38.000 They don't do that now.

01:42:39.000 For what exists?

01:42:41.000 You find anything now?

01:42:42.000 Pirate bag?

01:42:43.000 No, no, no.

01:42:43.000 Well, maybe, but I'm talking like... So there's an old... I'll tell you what, if you can find this, ladies and gentlemen, then I will be eternally grateful.

01:42:52.000 So when I was a kid, my mom got Sound Blaster for our computer.

01:42:57.000 You know Sound Blaster is?

01:42:58.000 Yeah, Sound Card.

01:42:59.000 Sound Blaster.

01:43:00.000 And we had the speakers and we were like, yeah!

01:43:02.000 And it came with a demo disc that had Heretic, Descent, Doom, and I can't remember the fourth game.

01:43:10.000 What did it play like?

01:43:10.000 Uh, what do you mean?

01:43:12.000 Like, what was the game like?

01:43:13.000 I don't remember.

01:43:14.000 I only remember the three.

01:43:15.000 Oh, I bet someone can figure that out.

01:43:17.000 I tried looking for it.

01:43:18.000 Was it all on one disc?

01:43:19.000 It was one disc.

01:43:20.000 It was a demo disc from Sound Blaster with a demo of Doom, Heretic, and Descent.

01:43:24.000 And there maybe, I think, was one more game I don't remember.

01:43:26.000 Dude, Descent was hilarious.

01:43:27.000 And I looked up old archives.

01:43:29.000 I can't find it.

01:43:30.000 Back in the day of Kazaa and Morpheus, you'd find it in two seconds.

01:43:34.000 My buddy sold like 20 Duel Lands for Descent.

01:43:36.000 Descent was a fun game.

01:43:38.000 All those toys were like $5 each at the time.

01:43:40.000 Magic cards are worth like $900 now.

01:43:42.000 But if you can find that demo disc, and you know what I'm talking about, I want to find an old copy if it's freeware at this point.

01:43:48.000 Because I just want to... I just woke up one day... I could do a whole show about this, Tim.

01:43:53.000 Finding this this demo desk Sound blaster demo with those games on it and maybe one

01:44:00.000 more and I couldn't find it couldn't find it I remember it taking days to download a movie and I had

01:44:05.000 friends that were putting Conspiracy videos in mainline Hollywood movie titles and

01:44:09.000 people are downloading them and then and then watching it's very little

01:44:12.000 Warcraft orcs and humans Yeah, yeah 0.99

01:44:16.000 Descent, it's the game pack.

01:44:17.000 Descent, Destination Saturn, Doom, Heretic, Warcraft, Orcs and Humans.

01:44:21.000 Yeah, but you found a copy of it?

01:44:22.000 I'll send it to you.

01:44:23.000 No, I don't know.

01:44:23.000 No, I don't think that's it.

01:44:25.000 It was a demo disc.

01:44:26.000 But I don't know, see what you find.

01:44:27.000 It's a Sound Blaster.

01:44:28.000 You found the Sound Blaster game pack?

01:44:30.000 CD-ROM package with Sound Blaster cards, 1995.

01:44:31.000 And it has those games on it?

01:44:34.000 Descent, Doom, Heretic, and Warcraft.

01:44:36.000 I think that's right.

01:44:36.000 Let's go.

01:44:37.000 All right, let's check it out.

01:44:38.000 How did he find it so quickly?

01:44:39.000 Because he's Ian, man.

01:44:40.000 He's the free-the-code guy.

01:44:42.000 He's the man of the internet.

01:44:43.000 He can see the code like Neo in the Matrix.

01:44:45.000 That is true, because I smoked salvia.

01:44:47.000 It had something to do with it.

01:44:48.000 I could do a whole show on that, now that we're talking about it.

01:44:53.000 Alright, let's see, let's see.

01:44:54.000 Jason Schmidt says, with your website, break down activities for tickets.

01:44:57.000 I will never go for some skateboarding activity, but you have a gun hunting day and I will be there.

01:45:02.000 Don't really want to join the site and risk taking an activity from another... I guess you got cut off.

01:45:10.000 We're not going to be doing skateboarding events.

01:45:12.000 The events that we're going to do are going to be like comedy, music, and political commentary.

01:45:17.000 And it's going to be basically based around the guests we have on the show, you know, so there are a lot of prominent musicians that get into politics.

01:45:24.000 I mean, we had Phil from All That Remains on the show at one point.

01:45:28.000 It's things like that.

01:45:29.000 I'm not going to say we've booked anybody, but we're going to have comedy shows.

01:45:32.000 It'll be political comedy, and you'll come hang out as one of maybe like 10 people having a drink, and we're going to broadcast the shows live, but you'll get to be there.

01:45:41.000 That's kind of the plan of being a member.

01:45:43.000 It will be first come first serve, so it'll probably be hard to actually get considering how many members there are, but you know.

01:45:48.000 Fat Freddy's Cat says, dude, fix your website.

01:45:51.000 I can't create my username or something.

01:45:53.000 Give me back my 10 buckos.

01:45:55.000 Fat Freddy, you gave me $5 to tell me that.

01:45:57.000 So I think what's happening, a lot of people don't realize, after you sign up, you get your sign up email, and it's going to people's spam folders.

01:46:05.000 So we're fixing all of this, and we're going to create a splash page, and the site literally went up on Monday, so forgive us as we work through the issue.

01:46:15.000 You should be able to just use your email to request another password, say like you lost your password, but we'll figure it out.

01:46:20.000 Consider it in beta for the next few weeks.

01:46:23.000 Oh, it's going to be in beta for some time.

01:46:25.000 But the thing is, look, we can't snap our fingers and create a massive news enterprise website.

01:46:31.000 We have to start somewhere.

01:46:32.000 So when we launched, we were like, it works.

01:46:35.000 Everything seems to be working perfectly.

01:46:36.000 And then once you bring in the users, the bugs start appearing and then we find them and now we're trying to work them out to the best of our abilities.

01:46:41.000 So it's pretty beta.

01:46:44.000 Zachary says, Tim, Lydia, Ian, you have cultivated a desire to counter the misinfo of the establishment in me.

01:46:51.000 Luke, you're an inspiration, a very Polish inspiration.

01:46:53.000 I'll be creating content in the coming weeks.

01:46:55.000 Very nice.

01:46:56.000 Dziękuję bardzo.

01:46:58.000 STFU says, from the makers of MyPillow, it's MyKudeta.

01:47:05.000 Pillow man.

01:47:06.000 The MyPillow guy.

01:47:07.000 Pillow fight, yeah.

01:47:09.000 Let's see.

01:47:09.000 Amir M says, Hey Tim, big fan.

01:47:11.000 Since TimCast is expanding, any chance you're hiring?

01:47:13.000 Potentially soon.

01:47:15.000 We will have some news.

01:47:16.000 There's a lot of stuff going on.

01:47:17.000 But for now, I think the most important thing is there is uncertainty right now with social media bannings and the purge.

01:47:25.000 And there's serious risk right now to having a business primarily be YouTube based.

01:47:31.000 This is a podcast.

01:47:32.000 It does appear on iTunes and Spotify, and it actually does particularly well relative to other podcasts, but YouTube is a way larger portion of traffic, which is why you can tell I'm pushing TimCast.com very heavily, because ideally, we can make this business self-sufficient on an independent platform that can't be banned, and you don't need that many people to do it.

01:47:53.000 So look, we get, I think, we get like three, all of my content's getting like three or, no, it's probably getting like four million, 2 million views a day, 4 million every 48 hours on YouTube metrics.

01:48:04.000 Imagine if only 10,000 people actually watched any of this stuff, but they were all members paying $10 a month.

01:48:09.000 We would never have to worry about censorship ever again.

01:48:12.000 Granted, we do want to reach as many people as possible.

01:48:14.000 That's the name of the game, I suppose.

01:48:16.000 But we could make this work with 1%, 0.1% of that audience if they were just subscribing members, and that's the freedom we really want.

01:48:25.000 So like I said, we did this segment with Richie McGinnis, and we were swearing, because it was funny, because we could finally swear.

01:48:31.000 There's a lot of things we can say.

01:48:32.000 I can do a segment after this on the name I can't say and say it 500 times.

01:48:35.000 It'll be fantastic.

01:48:36.000 Yes.

01:48:38.000 Serious Red Gamer says 2024 Trump for president and pillow guy VP.

01:48:42.000 I honestly would not, would not be surprised.

01:48:46.000 Yeah.

01:48:46.000 All right.

01:48:48.000 Let's see.

01:48:48.000 ISP Inc says declassified documents available.

01:48:51.000 Check live chat for link.

01:48:53.000 Is that the Obama stuff?

01:48:54.000 The Obamagate stuff?

01:48:55.000 Trump declassified it?

01:48:56.000 I don't know if it's out yet though, is it?

01:48:57.000 It was, parts of it was at least declassified today.

01:49:01.000 Did not read it, though.

01:49:02.000 Rob Lowe robs Lowe's, says Tim, Lydia, Ian, and Luke.

01:49:05.000 Keep doing what you're doing.

01:49:06.000 You're all awesome.

01:49:07.000 Thank you for the great content.

01:49:08.000 Can't wait to see what members' content has on Timcast.com.

01:49:11.000 Thanks, man.

01:49:12.000 We're talking about, you know, Luke wants to set up an Airsoft battle between the Timcast IRL crew versus the Daily Caller crew.

01:49:19.000 The Beanie Compound crew.

01:49:20.000 That's what we're calling it.

01:49:21.000 The Beanie Compound crew.

01:49:24.000 And then we were thinking of doing, like, having, you know, GoPros on people's heads, live broadcasting remotely.

01:49:30.000 Oh, that sounds cool.

01:49:31.000 Or we could do a livestream.

01:49:33.000 You could have Luke Cam and like, Richie Cam.

01:49:35.000 And then you're like, Luke's behind Richie and Richie doesn't know, oh no!

01:49:38.000 And then, that'd be cool.

01:49:39.000 Oh, stream snipers.

01:49:40.000 Yeah, that'd be cool.

01:49:41.000 We also have those night vision goggles that can record HD.

01:49:44.000 We do.

01:49:44.000 We could do a night show.

01:49:46.000 Yeah.

01:49:47.000 Night vision.

01:49:49.000 Tyler says, Tim, you should reach out to Bill Little and ask him about the After Party and its mascot.

01:49:54.000 It's already on board.

01:49:55.000 I don't know what that is.

01:49:56.000 I will look that up.

01:49:58.000 Fluesboro says, hi from Sweden.

01:50:00.000 Tim, if you plan to get a dog, please consider Commodore, a Hungarian guard dog. 0.92

01:50:06.000 We get our Commodore puppy next week directly from Hungary.

01:50:08.000 Interesting.

01:50:09.000 Cool.

01:50:09.000 Well, we were close to getting a Husky, but I just got a German Shepherd.

01:50:14.000 Here's an interesting one.

01:50:15.000 Mitchell Salazar says, I'm in Virginia and I saw a billboard asking people to turn people in who are at the Capitol.

01:50:21.000 Wow.

01:50:23.000 Count Ludwig says, Hey Jason, fellow Seattleite here, and I seek your advice on how average citizen can push back against COVID lockdowns, especially in Washington.

01:50:32.000 I'm friends with a few restaurateurs, and at least one is terrified she will lose their eatery.

01:50:37.000 She probably will.

01:50:40.000 The reality of the situation is Washington state is deeply blue and you're not going to just be able to change things.

01:50:46.000 Now this last election actually was way more competitive than a lot of people thought and there was no losses of seats on the Republican side where we kind of thought we were going to lose some potentially.

01:50:58.000 So that maybe portends a good future.

01:51:02.000 I think you just got to get more involved politically.

01:51:04.000 I mean Washington in particular is a place that, when you do get involved, it actually does make a difference on the local level.

01:51:12.000 And some of these races are being won by just a few hundred votes sometimes.

01:51:16.000 Are there instances in Washington of restauranteurs just staying open?

01:51:20.000 Yes, there are quite a few.

01:51:22.000 What was it?

01:51:22.000 Spiffy's made the national rounds.

01:51:26.000 They now owe like $115,000 or something in fines.

01:51:30.000 They're going through the court system, and they thought that, oh, we get in front of a court, get in front of a judge, they're going to side with us.

01:51:35.000 So far, not going so well.

01:51:37.000 But there have been, in Washington, really across the... AP has a story out this week on restaurants just saying, no, we just can't do it anymore.

01:51:46.000 We're not doing it because we, you know, are just trying to be scofflaws and try to spread COVID.

01:51:51.000 We're trying to help You're from Seattle.

01:51:53.000 a business and keep our employees paid.

01:51:56.000 It's just at some point people are going to just stop following the rules.

01:52:01.000 You're from Seattle.

01:52:02.000 I am. 1.00

01:52:03.000 You ever eat a bag of dicks? 0.99

01:52:06.000 Dicks is the best. 0.99

01:52:08.000 I will say that.

01:52:09.000 Seattle jokes are the best.

01:52:10.000 It's a burger joint.

01:52:11.000 It's actually really good.

01:52:12.000 Yes.

01:52:13.000 So the joke is because I think you mentioned it before every time I like I lived in Seattle very briefly I lived in Fremont and I've been back a couple times and everyone's always like what do you want to do? 0.99

01:52:22.000 You want to eat a bag of dicks? 0.99

01:52:23.000 It's a funny thing to ask and then you actually end up going to eat a burger. 1.00

01:52:26.000 You literally go to dick. 0.99

01:52:27.000 You go and get a burger. 0.98

01:52:28.000 I know the family so it's a It's a good place.

01:52:31.000 It's a really good place.

01:52:32.000 Yeah, it's always fun to go to.

01:52:33.000 Yeah, it's fast.

01:52:34.000 It's kind of like how the old-school McDonald's would be.

01:52:36.000 You walk up to the window and you order and then you step over and they hand you the bag.

01:52:39.000 People on the West Coast who know In-N-Out.

01:52:42.000 Although, right?

01:52:42.000 They're just West Coast.

01:52:44.000 Way better than In-N-Out.

01:52:45.000 I know, In-N-Out is way better.

01:52:46.000 I don't like In-N-Out.

01:52:46.000 In-N-Out, I think, is overrated.

01:52:48.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:52:49.000 Ever eat Swenson's?

01:52:50.000 Did those make it to the other cities?

01:52:51.000 No, I've never heard of it.

01:52:51.000 That was like, you sit in your car and you order.

01:52:53.000 They come out and they take your order and then they go bring it out to the car.

01:52:55.000 I don't want that.

01:52:56.000 That's old school.

01:52:57.000 I don't need that.

01:52:57.000 From the 50s or something.

01:52:59.000 I don't like the fact that you have to walk up.

01:53:01.000 Just give me a drive-thru.

01:53:02.000 Come on, guys.

01:53:03.000 You ever watch that movie, The Founder?

01:53:08.000 Yes.

01:53:08.000 How they got rid of the driver because it was like, who cares?

01:53:11.000 He's sitting down trying to figure out how to eat and he just eats in his lap.

01:53:15.000 It was a new thing to them.

01:53:16.000 That's amazing.

01:53:17.000 That's a good movie, by the way.

01:53:18.000 Better than News of the World.

01:53:21.000 Black Czar says, raising the federal minimum wage to $15 is a corporate power grab.

01:53:25.000 A small business in Kansas does not have the same cost of living terms as Silicon Valley.

01:53:30.000 They would lay off staff, increase prices, or fold, their wealth being redistributed to Walmart, Amazon, etc., who can eat the costs.

01:53:37.000 Yes.

01:53:38.000 Absolutely.

01:53:40.000 Steven Schlack says, I'm in Illinois.

01:53:43.000 They're stripping cops of qualified immunity and allowing unconfirmed reports to stay on their permanent record.

01:53:47.000 I know a bunch of cops who are getting out and going to act like the fire department only show when called.

01:53:55.000 Well, yeah, they should.

01:53:56.000 This is a super serious problem, and it's gonna get so much worse in 2021.

01:54:00.000 Just in Seattle, the official number, I think, is now 198 from 2020.

01:54:04.000 That is the largest number of officers to leave the force.

01:54:10.000 We now have the lowest level of deployable staff since 1993, since which we've grown like 48% or something in population.

01:54:19.000 It is bad, and it's gonna get worse.

01:54:22.000 Wow.

01:54:23.000 Oh, this is a really important Super Chat from SassyPants824.

01:54:26.000 Jason's eyebrows are glorious.

01:54:29.000 Oh, she saw through the mask.

01:54:30.000 We're here.

01:54:31.000 Thank you.

01:54:32.000 Let's see.

01:54:33.000 TrackMediaOnly says, People like AOC saying what they do that cause this.

01:54:37.000 Add how much further they want to go.

01:54:39.000 It causes people to look for hope in anything they can.

01:54:43.000 Daniel Henry says, conservative domination of talk radio is simply because people getting things done can't watch TV or YouTube.

01:54:49.000 They have to listen and work at the same time.

01:54:52.000 I think so.

01:54:53.000 That's true.

01:54:53.000 So I found that a while ago, because I started my channel making videos, like actually going out and filming stuff, and then intermittently doing commentary videos because I couldn't travel all the time, and then eventually just commentary.

01:55:05.000 But people would turn my video on, they still do, and then just go about work.

01:55:09.000 So they're hearing it in the background while doing something else.

01:55:12.000 Yeah.

01:55:12.000 It makes sense.

01:55:13.000 Look, radio is passive listening for the most part, unless you have what's called a P1, which is your first preference, which is the first station you go to when you get in the car.

01:55:24.000 Obviously, as traffic got worse, we capitalized on that.

01:55:28.000 And obviously in some of the other cities where people aren't actually driving, that's the places where, like, YouTube does best, or what was that, Quibi?

01:55:35.000 Quibi.

01:55:36.000 That quite did not take off.

01:55:38.000 All right, let's see.

01:55:40.000 Brian Lane says, Hey gang, Vosh recently said on stream he would like to come on your show again after COVID.

01:55:45.000 Any plan to have him on again?

01:55:47.000 Love to see varying ideas.

01:55:48.000 I'd love to.

01:55:49.000 I'd really love to have him on with Alex Jones.

01:55:51.000 That was cool.

01:55:52.000 That's what we wanted to do because, uh, and it's not about Vaush.

01:55:55.000 It's about getting a left and a right wing personality in the same place to just have a conversation, I guess.

01:56:01.000 What if they wanted to box?

01:56:02.000 Would you let them?

01:56:03.000 No, I'm not.

01:56:04.000 Okay.

01:56:04.000 What about an escape park?

01:56:06.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.

01:56:07.000 If they want to do a sanction thing on their own, they can go do that.

01:56:09.000 I'm not that Jake Paul, like boxing it out stuff.

01:56:11.000 What's that called when they agree to fight?

01:56:13.000 Mutual combat.

01:56:14.000 Yeah.

01:56:14.000 Mutual combat in the parking lot.

01:56:17.000 No.

01:56:17.000 None of that's ever going to happen here.

01:56:18.000 We're on the street out front.

01:56:20.000 Can we record it?

01:56:21.000 No, they cannot.

01:56:22.000 Never going to happen.

01:56:23.000 Alright, let's see.

01:56:24.000 Ann Cush Nerula says, Cush says, Does Ian believe things can get better if the Fed stops dosing the blockchain with aspartame?

01:56:32.000 I definitely think things can get better.

01:56:34.000 I would say so, yeah.

01:56:34.000 Dosing the blockchain with aspartame while they free the code.

01:56:37.000 We have more power than we realize.

01:56:38.000 That's something I've learned over the last 20 years, especially with internet video.

01:56:42.000 But I think just in general, our actions have resounding effects on our surroundings.

01:56:47.000 Gustav Andersen says, Tim, you and your team have been exceptionally transformational in my worldview and how I engage with social political content.

01:56:55.000 Literally have changed my life.

01:56:56.000 Thank you all so much for what you do.

01:56:57.000 I appreciate it.

01:56:59.000 I think we're just a group of people that talk about our feelings.

01:57:01.000 But when you have a bunch of people who are constantly reading the news and have different views on them, then you have a conversation, you know?

01:57:07.000 Plus, if you're fearless to tell your friends, I say, I can't swear.

01:57:11.000 I don't want to swear.

01:57:11.000 What I say to you.

01:57:12.000 In the bonus segment.

01:57:13.000 Yeah.

01:57:14.000 If you want to hear what I really say to Tim, check the bonus segment.

01:57:17.000 It's just screaming.

01:57:18.000 Ian's like, you should listen to us play magic and just go at each other.

01:57:23.000 No, it's never really that bad.

01:57:24.000 There's a reason I live in the RV.

01:57:25.000 Yeah.

01:57:28.000 Cage says, Hey, I love rants.

01:57:31.000 Seems like a solid dude.

01:57:32.000 I live in Auburn and I helped support SPD through Jason's fundraising efforts.

01:57:36.000 Oh, awesome.

01:57:37.000 Thank you. 0.57

01:57:39.000 James Byrne says, Yo, Ian, dudes in man dresses and outdated weapons have been kicking America's rear end for 20 years.

01:57:46.000 I have been there and done that.

01:57:48.000 Tell me more about that.

01:57:49.000 I think he's talking about the Middle East and life.

01:57:51.000 Oh, dudes in man dresses.

01:57:53.000 I wore a man dress at Burning Man.

01:57:55.000 That's why I was a little confused.

01:57:56.000 So what was this?

01:57:57.000 What was this point?

01:58:00.000 It's about how, like, in Afghanistan and Vietnam, farmers with, like, just guns overwhelm the U.S.

01:58:08.000 What kind of dress did you wear at Burning Man?

01:58:09.000 It was a skirt that was offered to me by a friend of mine.

01:58:14.000 And I don't have it anymore.

01:58:15.000 I'll show you.

01:58:16.000 It was green.

01:58:17.000 True North says, I really hope that my pillow guy and Trump start a civil war just so that a hundred years from now they can refer to it as the Great Pillow Fight of 2021.

01:58:24.000 Oh, I love it.

01:58:29.000 Count Ludwig says, hey Jason, fellow Seattleite here, and I seek your advice.

01:58:32.000 Oh, that's weird.

01:58:33.000 Oh, that got posted twice, I guess.

01:58:36.000 Snazzy Butterfly says, shout out to Ian.

01:58:37.000 I grew up in Akron, too.

01:58:39.000 Oh, Holler. 1.00

01:58:39.000 There you go. 1.00

01:58:40.000 You guys are like basically best friends.

01:58:41.000 The water was like well water.

01:58:43.000 It tasted weird, though.

01:58:44.000 Something about it.

01:58:45.000 Probably really dirty.

01:58:46.000 I didn't know at the time.

01:58:49.000 How do you say it?

01:58:51.000 Spell it.

01:58:52.000 E-W-S-K-I E-W. 0.91

01:58:56.000 media is claiming the Civil War and Trump is a Confederate president side

01:59:17.000 That's awesome, that's crazy!

01:59:19.000 I didn't write down what you were saying but I'm just making up words right now to see if I can get it

01:59:23.000 Luke doesn't really speak Polish he just pretends to and it's actually just gibberish 0.98

01:59:27.000 no?

01:59:29.000 alright let's see Let's see.

01:59:32.000 Eric A. says, you asked the other day, what's next with leftists keep pushing norms?

01:59:37.000 M.A.P.

01:59:37.000 is next to be pushed.

01:59:38.000 Remember, Salon wrote an article how they're not monsters.

01:59:40.000 Crowder's done some good vids on this.

01:59:43.000 M.A.P., you know what that is?

01:59:44.000 Minor Attracted Persons.

01:59:46.000 I don't know.

01:59:47.000 Was that like pedophiles?

01:59:49.000 Yes. 0.90

01:59:49.000 And that's a big thing that's been on Twitter and people like left and right have been calling these people out like crazy. 0.90

01:59:54.000 It's creepy stuff. 1.00

01:59:55.000 These people are disgusting. 0.99

01:59:57.000 That's what they're calling themselves? 1.00

01:59:58.000 Yeah.

01:59:59.000 Yup.

02:00:00.000 Yup.

02:00:00.000 Oh my gosh.

02:00:01.000 Yeah.

02:00:02.000 This is why I hate Twitter.

02:00:03.000 Yeah.

02:00:04.000 I mean, I love it.

02:00:04.000 I don't know though, the left is going after him too.

02:00:06.000 Are they?

02:00:07.000 Okay.

02:00:07.000 Well, you know what?

02:00:08.000 See, that's good.

02:00:10.000 You usually on the left.

02:00:11.000 No judgments.

02:00:12.000 We should be judging these people!

02:00:13.000 Yeah, I would judge that.

02:00:15.000 Come on! 0.61

02:00:15.000 Yep. 0.61

02:00:18.000 Let's see.

02:00:19.000 Arturski says, Dems watch TV because they have more time.

02:00:22.000 Republicans listen to radio while working.

02:00:24.000 One Family Guy episode that they overthrow the government, things started to go sideways, had to create a new government, lol, great show.

02:00:30.000 And then he says, CZESC.

02:00:33.000 What is that?

02:00:34.000 Czech? 0.84

02:00:35.000 Cześć.

02:00:35.000 Cześć?

02:00:36.000 What does that mean?

02:00:37.000 Wait, hi.

02:00:38.000 Oh, hi.

02:00:39.000 Now we're talking.

02:00:40.000 Another week's better than the whole year. Mild says, Ian, just for you I'm researching the history of the Fed to get

02:00:45.000 a grasp on what the heck is going on. Dude. Also, Chance of Harumph Gorilla Workout merch. Now we're talking. Get some

02:00:51.000 barbells. If you would like the official I am a gorilla t-shirt, because I know everyone really loves the gorilla emoji, go

02:00:56.000 to timcast.com, click the shop button, and then you should see the I am a gorilla t-shirt. Let's go.

02:01:01.000 Let me just remind everybody.

02:01:03.000 You see, the t-shirts that we make here for the TimCast IRL Podcast are somewhat meaningless.

02:01:07.000 It's a gorilla, or it's me with, like, harumph I say bubbles.

02:01:10.000 Luke's got a whole bag of, like, crazy political commentary and humor.

02:01:14.000 Well, I like to make people think and to interact with other people in the wild of our environment.

02:01:20.000 And one great way to have a conversation is with a wild t-shirt.

02:01:24.000 And you know what would really help start a conversation?

02:01:26.000 Wearing a shirt that says Trump just in big letters and walk around, say like in New York or Los Angeles.

02:01:32.000 You'll start a conversation real quick.

02:01:34.000 Or GC this week.

02:01:35.000 Wear a helmet.

02:01:36.000 I'd be watching that if you do.

02:01:37.000 A lot of Trump videos on YouTube?

02:01:39.000 A lot of them.

02:01:40.000 But he's a Hearthstone player called Trump.

02:01:43.000 Yeah, that freaks people out.

02:01:44.000 You know what would be fun to make?

02:01:46.000 A red hat that looks like Make America Great Again, but is completely meaningless.

02:01:51.000 Like, Make Trump Go Back Now.

02:01:54.000 Or like, Make Trump Jump Lawnmower.

02:01:56.000 Well, I have a red hat that says Make Taxation Theft Again, and Make Orwell Fiction Again, and that one confuses people a lot of times.

02:02:03.000 Total gibberish.

02:02:04.000 Like, make a shirt that says, like, that look- Oh, you know what would be a good idea?

02:02:08.000 No, no, no, no.

02:02:09.000 I think- I think I want to make a shirt that doesn't- you can't tell if it's pro or anti-Trump.

02:02:13.000 Like, Donald Trump, we don't deserve- we don't deserve him.

02:02:15.000 Yes.

02:02:16.000 That's a Michael Malice joke, by the way.

02:02:18.000 He always- he always responds to- he would respond to Trump saying, like, we don't deserve him.

02:02:21.000 And it's perfect.

02:02:22.000 It's brilliant.

02:02:23.000 Because then, like, everybody- you don't know who- you don't know what's going on.

02:02:27.000 Is he for or against the guy?

02:02:28.000 I have no idea.

02:02:29.000 Y'all, either way, it's Twitter.

02:02:31.000 Eric, Bart, thank you for that super chat.

02:02:32.000 Ooh, thank you.

02:02:34.000 Lost Cause says, wait Tim swearing, take my money.

02:02:37.000 Well, that's a super chat.

02:02:37.000 You need to go to timcast.com become a member.

02:02:40.000 And we got the segment up with Richie.

02:02:41.000 Um, we're probably gonna have to figure out some better compression for the videos we upload because the videos that we put up are like high quality and we host, we host them on our own and stuff, but we're going to have a bunch of other stuff too.

02:02:51.000 I think we're actually going to do limited edition shirts and merch and stuff and you We're working on it.

02:02:56.000 I think the goal is, I should have done this from the get-go, is making the focus of the company be just core users and membership and like the website.

02:03:04.000 There are a lot of podcasts you've never heard of that do way better than we do because that's what they did.

02:03:09.000 And so that's something I realized, you know, I'm like, wow, we should have done that.

02:03:12.000 We should have done that.

02:03:14.000 There are podcasts that have way less subscribers and these people are insanely rich because of it.

02:03:19.000 I want to expand, though, and I want to do more, so I'm figuring the appropriate way to protect ourselves from censorship, like many of these left-wing podcasts do, is exactly that.

02:03:28.000 Bassplayer says, my last chat before becoming a member, and in regards to Crowder, he takes breaks in summer and winter for the holidays.

02:03:34.000 He'll be back before the end of the month.

02:03:35.000 Cool.

02:03:38.000 Let's see, Buffalo Bill says, my pillow guy got sued for saying it healed migraine and back pain. 0.98

02:03:43.000 He's a grifter.

02:03:44.000 Is that true of the my pillow guy? 0.95

02:03:46.000 I never would have thought that.

02:03:49.000 Alright, let's see here.

02:03:50.000 We'll jump down and make sure we get to as many Super Chats as possible. 0.99

02:03:54.000 Nolan Harris says, I know you guys like Magic the Gathering.

02:03:56.000 Do you all read fantasy sci-fi?

02:03:58.000 If so, what do you like?

02:04:00.000 I don't.

02:04:01.000 Ian maybe.

02:04:01.000 I was just watching a bunch of Lord of the Rings, The Cimmerillion.

02:04:04.000 I haven't heard it yet, but I was listening to some old Tolkien interview from the 60s.

02:04:07.000 That guy, like, speaks like a Hobbit.

02:04:09.000 I mean, he's like Gandalf.

02:04:11.000 Yeah.

02:04:12.000 Sci-fi fantasy.

02:04:13.000 Alright, let's see.

02:04:13.000 Anthony Calva says, Hey Tim, can you acknowledge my existence?

02:04:17.000 I'm from Jersey, too, by the way, and Murphy sucks. 1.00

02:04:20.000 I agree. 0.99

02:04:20.000 Yes. 0.99

02:04:21.000 Here we go.

02:04:22.000 This one's from Zombieslayer.

02:04:24.000 Isaac says, Nah, have Vosh on with Eric July.

02:04:27.000 That'd be nice.

02:04:28.000 That'd be cool, because I think they're both smart and they'd have an interesting conversation.

02:04:32.000 I'm not saying that I completely agree with Vosch, though we had quite a disagreement, but I think it'll be an interesting conversation.

02:04:39.000 Vosch is also named Ian, by the way.

02:04:40.000 That's pretty cool.

02:04:42.000 He'd be good with a lot of people, because he's really smart and kind of like a socialist.

02:04:47.000 I'm sorry to interrupt you, Tim.

02:04:50.000 Please continue.

02:04:50.000 I'm going to give a shout out to PocketNet.app again.

02:04:53.000 They sponsored the show.

02:04:53.000 YouTuber and worried about the future of my channel, I had a rapid growing audience that

02:04:57.000 began to dwarf my channel on Parler.

02:04:59.000 What we need are new server companies to compete with Google and Amazon."

02:05:03.000 I'm going to give a shout out to PocketNet.app again.

02:05:06.000 They sponsored the show.

02:05:08.000 I read a bit of their thing early on.

02:05:12.000 At first, I get told, like, hey, here's the people who are interested in sponsoring the

02:05:16.000 And then when I looked at their website and they said, there's no company, there's no centralization backing this, so no one can ban you.

02:05:21.000 I was like, that's exactly what we need.

02:05:24.000 And I'm like, I'm really adamant when it comes to sponsorships where I'm like, I only literally endorse things I think are cool.

02:05:29.000 So when I read that, even before we started the show, me and Ian had a little back and forth where you were like, wow.

02:05:33.000 Yeah.

02:05:34.000 I wonder how many, how many pocket coins you need to stake in order to become one of the miners.

02:05:39.000 Is that what it is?

02:05:39.000 Like you run nodes, I guess.

02:05:41.000 You had to run a node.

02:05:41.000 How many pocket coins you got to stake?

02:05:43.000 How much they cost?

02:05:43.000 Where to get them?

02:05:44.000 I like the idea.

02:05:46.000 So just real quick, just because it just happened like 20 minutes ago.

02:05:49.000 Virginia officials reach agreement with Secret Service to shut down Virginia D.C.

02:05:53.000 bridges Tuesday through 6 a.m.

02:05:54.000 Thursday for inaugural activities.

02:05:57.000 Wow.

02:05:57.000 I'mma get stuck on D.C.

02:05:59.000 Wow.

02:06:01.000 Creepy, man.

02:06:02.000 But yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:06:03.000 Anyway, so those that are, those that are, you know, mentioning decentralized apps and other options, special thanks to pocketnet.app for sponsoring the show.

02:06:10.000 I do think it's an amazing idea.

02:06:13.000 I got to stress it because I'm not trying to just, you know, keep promoting them, but we've talked about the Fediverse over and over again, where you have your own server.

02:06:21.000 So like, instead of using Twitter to send messages, people just follow you on your server is really, really an interesting concept.

02:06:27.000 So to see people actually implementing this, I, I want to see more of this.

02:06:31.000 So.

02:06:33.000 Let's see.

02:06:34.000 Ghost Crusader says Facebook and Instagram reinstated Trump's accounts.

02:06:37.000 I don't think they ever banned him.

02:06:38.000 I think they restricted him from... Well, he can't post.

02:06:42.000 His accounts are still there, though.

02:06:45.000 IceFox says, when to become a member?

02:06:47.000 It took a PayPal payment but I can't log in.

02:06:49.000 Tried to forget my password with my PayPal account email.

02:06:52.000 The email without the domain and the PayPal payment ID.

02:06:54.000 What am I doing wrong?

02:06:56.000 Check your spam folder.

02:06:57.000 If not, email members at timcast.com and then we'll get you the proper link and get it sorted through.

02:07:05.000 Let me just tell you guys, one of the challenges with launching the site is that we immediately got like thousands of people signing up right away, and so we're just a small handful of people trying our best, so we'll get to as many people as possible.

02:07:19.000 Whatever you do, you need to... It's probably pointless to just bring up again, but...

02:07:24.000 People are emailing a bunch of the wrong emails and it's not getting sorted out properly.

02:07:27.000 So just members at TimCast.com if you encounter a problem, check your spam folder.

02:07:31.000 And we're gonna set up more to sort through this and create a splash page and then create, you know, redundancies to make sure people who encounter any problems can solve it.

02:07:40.000 Preston Temm says, if someone had told me that we would go into a near-multi-year lockdown, economic crash, a populist-winning presidency after Harambe happened, I never would have believed you.

02:07:49.000 Oh, Harambe.

02:07:50.000 Yeah.

02:07:51.000 KatMC26 says, can you make sock gorillas like the monkeys grandma made? 0.70

02:07:56.000 I don't know.

02:07:57.000 I like it.

02:07:58.000 Maybe?

02:07:59.000 We'll see what Teespring offers.

02:08:01.000 If you have not already, make sure you smash that like button, subscribe to the notification bell, because it really does help, and go to TimCast.com, become a member.

02:08:08.000 We will have more bonus segments coming up, but you really check out the one we just did with Richie McGinnis of the Daily Caller, because he was smeared by the New York Times as a rioter.

02:08:17.000 They literally made it up.

02:08:18.000 They claimed he punched the glass.

02:08:20.000 Never happened.

02:08:21.000 Meanwhile, CNN puts on one of the actual rioters, who's a leftist, and acts like he's a journalist.

02:08:27.000 Check out that segment at TimCast.com, become a member.

02:08:30.000 And thank you all so much for hanging out for the show.

02:08:32.000 Jason, thank you for coming to the show.

02:08:33.000 Do you want to mention social media?

02:08:35.000 Sure.

02:08:36.000 Jason Rantz on Twitter.

02:08:38.000 R-A-N-T-Z. 1.00

02:08:39.000 I lost so many when I was critical of Trump and then with all the purging and stuff.

02:08:43.000 So I'd like to boost that back up.

02:08:45.000 Hey, you know what?

02:08:46.000 It's all a part of life.

02:08:47.000 You keep grinding, you keep working, and you don't worry too much.

02:08:51.000 I'm gonna sign up for your sponsor, though.

02:08:53.000 As much as I don't like... I'm not signing up for anything else.

02:08:57.000 I'm not going to Gab.

02:08:58.000 I know people keep telling me to go to Gab.

02:09:00.000 I was there at the beginning.

02:09:01.000 A lot of anti-Semitism.

02:09:03.000 I am not going back.

02:09:05.000 I am just out, but I will go there.

02:09:07.000 I went to Gab a couple days ago.

02:09:08.000 Man, it was slow.

02:09:09.000 I think they just got overloaded.

02:09:11.000 They're getting slammed.

02:09:12.000 But dude, my respect, they're building infrastructure.

02:09:14.000 So they're trying to ban Gab.

02:09:16.000 I think the issue is, you know, actually, I should, I was going to say something wrong.

02:09:20.000 No, Gab decentralized.

02:09:21.000 Gab used the Fediverse now.

02:09:23.000 So that was a while ago.

02:09:25.000 They're doing everything in their power to prevent them from being taken down.

02:09:28.000 It's, it's actually impressive.

02:09:30.000 And I, apparently there's rumors about like the DOJ is like left to start demanding the DOJ investigate them now because when, when the private sector fails, use the power of the government to shut down your political opponents.

02:09:41.000 Right?

02:09:42.000 Yeah.

02:09:43.000 But yeah, Luke, you have shirts and stuff.

02:09:45.000 They're also doing the same against Signal and Telegram, which is very worrying as well.

02:09:49.000 But yes, if you want to support my independent ventures, I am Luke.

02:09:53.000 We are Change on most social media like Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and all those other...

02:09:59.000 Control places but the best thing you could do is sign up on my email list on wearechange.org in the top right hand corner and I don't just sell shirts I sell bikinis socks and hats which you get also on wearechange.org forward slash store if you want to support me because you do.

02:10:14.000 Thank you guys so much.

02:10:15.000 And if you have problems with decentralized things like Signal and Telegram going forward, you could always use something like Wire or the Matrix Protocol with Riot.

02:10:24.000 It's a great messaging.

02:10:24.000 Mines has encrypted chat.

02:10:25.000 Mines, although their app, it seems chat's going to be offline, but Mines is going to be rolling out some hardcore new messaging upgrades, which I don't think Bill has authorized me to talk about yet, but man, it's going to be good.

02:10:38.000 Of course, I'm Ian Crossland.

02:10:40.000 Thank you, Tim, Luke, Jason, Lydia.

02:10:42.000 I love you all.

02:10:43.000 You guys can follow me anywhere on the internet.

02:10:45.000 YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Mines, Instagram.

02:10:49.000 Oh, I think Instagram's tracking everything you do now.

02:10:52.000 Did you guys see that?

02:10:53.000 You know what?

02:10:53.000 Can I be honest with you?

02:10:55.000 Every time I get served with an ad on Instagram, it knows me so well.

02:10:58.000 It's creepy.

02:10:59.000 I buy everything.

02:11:01.000 I seriously buy everything.

02:11:04.000 I bought toothpaste this morning because of an Instagram ad.

02:11:08.000 Didn't know I wanted it.

02:11:09.000 I do now.

02:11:10.000 Tim and I have the same ad and you bought it.

02:11:12.000 What was that?

02:11:12.000 Do you remember?

02:11:13.000 Oh yeah.

02:11:13.000 It was a solar torture.

02:11:15.000 Crazy dude. 0.89

02:11:16.000 Yep. 0.98

02:11:16.000 I think maybe a one. 0.98

02:11:18.000 The craziest thing is they sent me an ad for a head shaver.

02:11:21.000 And how do they know I'm bald?

02:11:23.000 I wear a beanie all the time.

02:11:24.000 They figured it out somehow.

02:11:25.000 Facial recognition.

02:11:27.000 X-ray vision.

02:11:28.000 Anything else I was gonna say?

02:11:29.000 I think that's about it.

02:11:30.000 I love you guys.

02:11:31.000 You're gonna tell everybody to follow at Sour Patchlets.

02:11:33.000 Yeah, follow at Sour Patchlets and share the video.

02:11:35.000 Share this video if you like it.

02:11:36.000 Yes, do.

02:11:37.000 Yes, and then go to TimCast.com.

02:11:39.000 I was going to say, too, that I did buy Tim's Christmas gift off of an Instagram ad because I loved it and it was perfect for him and I thought it was great and he loved it.

02:11:48.000 The Empanada Press or whatever?

02:11:50.000 Yeah, it makes little dumplings.

02:11:51.000 It's really good.

02:11:52.000 We made cheesy dumplings.

02:11:53.000 It was amazing.

02:11:54.000 My friends, thank you all so much for hanging out.
