Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - National Guard Failing Loyalty Tests, Get PULLED From DC Duty w- Steve Rene

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:04.000 you you

00:00:08.000 tomorrow's a big day Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be inaugurated.

00:00:34.000 They will become president and vice president.

00:00:36.000 Donald Trump will leave.

00:00:38.000 And for some reason, no one's allowed to be there.

00:00:40.000 There's 25,000 National Guard occupying D.C.

00:00:44.000 And journalists seem to love the idea of 25,000 troops occupying Washington D.C.

00:00:51.000 We had a guest on, I think it was, what did they say, it's double the amount of troops we have over in Afghanistan, something like that.

00:00:56.000 Or maybe even more than that, like 10 times, was it?

00:00:59.000 Yeah, we have like 2,500 in Afghanistan.

00:01:01.000 We have like 10 times the amount of troops in D.C.

00:01:04.000 right now.

00:01:05.000 And, you know, the left and the right both think something weird is going to happen.

00:01:10.000 Now, I've heard the craziest conspiracy theories on the right, and honestly, I just think Joe Biden's gonna walk in, he's gonna hold up his hand, say some words, and then we're gonna move on.

00:01:20.000 Then he'll issue some executive orders, everybody will get mad, and then we'll be back to bickering about politics, but I do think there's still a risk of serious escalation, because Joe Biden's gonna be doing hard reversals on tons of Trump's executive orders, which is a 180-degree turn, which means that's a hard swing in the other direction, which is gonna freak people out.

00:01:37.000 On the left, however, they're seriously concerned about some right-wing militia, you know, protest or insurgency or whatever.

00:01:45.000 And as far as I know, I believe it's 30 states so far have activated the National Guard.

00:01:50.000 The big news right now is that so far 12 guards have been removed because after being vetted, turns out some of them, I guess, are retweeting things they don't like or associated with the NRA.

00:02:00.000 That's one report coming from Jack Posobiec.

00:02:02.000 What we can say is they've been removed.

00:02:04.000 Many people have likened this to failing a loyalty test.

00:02:07.000 So it's kind of weird.

00:02:09.000 It's kind of weird that the Democrats and the establishment are that concerned.

00:02:12.000 They've issued two now statements.

00:02:15.000 One letter to soldiers saying, do not support Trump.

00:02:19.000 Another op-ed saying, if you do, you will be arrested and prosecuted.

00:02:23.000 And now they're going through all the history of these people.

00:02:26.000 That's getting crazy.

00:02:27.000 We have a very excellent guest tonight, however.

00:02:31.000 One of the experts on probably survival camps.

00:02:34.000 Well, I'll just throw it to you, because I don't want to downplay Um, your credentials.

00:02:38.000 This is Steve Rene, COO of Fortitude Ranch.

00:02:40.000 Do you want to just explain who you are, what you do?

00:02:42.000 Yeah, so my name's Steve Rene.

00:02:44.000 I'm the COO of Fortitude Ranch and the Operations Manager for Fortitude Ranch, West Virginia.

00:02:51.000 We are a recreational slash survivalist community.

00:02:57.000 We started in Colorado over seven years ago.

00:03:01.000 The founder, Dr. Drew Miller, began the first ranch, then he bought the property out.

00:03:06.000 in West Virginia and then once that was got to the point of being up and running then he hired me I came on in to run the operations and then we this year we've expanded into Nevada for a third ranch and we're gonna continue to grow and grow.

00:03:25.000 Are these like, these are underground?

00:03:27.000 Underground bunkers?

00:03:28.000 We have, we have hardened facilities, but no, it's, it's not all underground.

00:03:33.000 We have everything from beautiful log homes to hardened shelters.

00:03:37.000 It's, uh, there's a mixture.

00:03:39.000 Do you have a big beautiful wall surrounding the property?

00:03:42.000 We don't.

00:03:42.000 We don't appear to be militaristic because we are not militaristic.

00:03:47.000 We fit in in any community that you would... If you drove by the facility in West Virginia, you'd never know.

00:03:54.000 The building you would first see used to actually be a bed and breakfast.

00:03:58.000 Oh wow.

00:03:59.000 It's a gorgeous log home.

00:04:00.000 That's comfortable.

00:04:00.000 And that's where the luxury memberships are located.

00:04:03.000 Then as you get back further into the compound itself, I don't even like to use the word compound.

00:04:09.000 That's why we use ranch. 1.00

00:04:12.000 We keep ourselves away from, you know, anything tied to militias.

00:04:17.000 We're about defending our own.

00:04:21.000 And when that time comes, and until that time comes, then members are able to come to the ranch and relax.

00:04:28.000 And so yeah, the big news came, I think it was October, you guys activated ahead of the election.

00:04:34.000 And that kind of got people worried.

00:04:36.000 I know we talked about it quite a bit, that you're basically telling people come on down to the ranch in case there's, you know, mass unrest or some kind of catastrophe.

00:04:44.000 Yeah, we try.

00:04:45.000 We try to stay ahead of what's coming.

00:04:48.000 And obviously, we're not Nostradamus in any sort of way, but he wasn't that good anyway.

00:04:54.000 Right.

00:04:55.000 But the point is, you know, so we stay out of politics, but we have to monitor politics so that we can, you know, get the idea of what's coming in, help our members to be prepared for that.

00:05:07.000 And of course, they always have questions.

00:05:09.000 And so this is anything?

00:05:10.000 It would be like a natural disaster?

00:05:11.000 Oh, absolutely.

00:05:11.000 It would be civil unrest, political?

00:05:13.000 Yeah, we are built to be able to sustain a nuclear shockwave.

00:05:19.000 Wow.

00:05:20.000 So, aside from that, you're also former Army intelligence?

00:05:23.000 I was five years in nukes, and I was five years in military intelligence.

00:05:23.000 I was.

00:05:28.000 We were hearing some pretty crazy stories just before we went live, so I'm like, wait, wait, stop talking!

00:05:32.000 This is crazy stuff we should definitely talk about on the show.

00:05:35.000 So we'll get into all this, and we'll talk about Fortitude Ranch, and it's a survival and recreation camp, I guess you'd call it.

00:05:40.000 Yeah.

00:05:41.000 Cool.

00:05:42.000 So we also have, as always, Luke Rickasky.

00:05:44.000 Oh, hi.

00:05:45.000 Hi, guys.

00:05:45.000 How you doing?

00:05:46.000 Just stretching over here.

00:05:48.000 Oh, another We Are Change exclusive t-shirt tonight, which you can only get on wearechange.org forward slash shirts.

00:05:57.000 Just a random coincidence.

00:05:59.000 Thank you so much for having me on.

00:06:01.000 And you brought up a very good, important point.

00:06:03.000 If you're bugging out, You don't want to tell the world that you're bugging out.

00:06:07.000 Also, it would be interesting to talk about your military experience, especially when it comes to the military vetting that's going on.

00:06:13.000 But we have a lot to get into, so I'm really excited.

00:06:15.000 I'm very happy that you're on.

00:06:16.000 Appreciate it.

00:06:18.000 And I'm Ian Crossland.

00:06:19.000 Hello.

00:06:19.000 Luke is actually a bigger hippie than I am, even though I look more like a hippie, I think.

00:06:24.000 It's cool that you're here, Steve, because we were just talking about Atlantis yesterday.

00:06:27.000 And I don't know if you know about the asteroid impact 28,000 years ago that purportedly ended the last ice age, shattered over North America, peppered the glaciers, and then caused a global flood that wiped out an entire civilization.

00:06:40.000 Is that real?

00:06:42.000 This is what the evidence points to.

00:06:44.000 But I'm wondering, could you handle an asteroid impact?

00:06:47.000 Well, nothing can handle an asteroid impact.

00:06:50.000 I mean, we couldn't handle a nuclear blast if you're ground zero.

00:06:55.000 Nothing lasts ground zero.

00:06:57.000 So the point is not to be where that's heading and then have the proper facilities to make sure that the shockwave doesn't do the damage.

00:07:05.000 Could you survive underwater if there was a flood for a short period of time or something?

00:07:09.000 Yeah, we're surrounded by mountains.

00:07:11.000 You just go up.

00:07:12.000 Wow, that's cool.

00:07:14.000 All right, well, the first portion, we'll talk about the political strife, but we actually do have, like, the CIA released UFO documents, and so we'll get into the more weird and wild asteroids, and it'll be fun to talk to you about the more, you know, I don't know, I don't want to say conspiratorial, but paranormal aspects of the survival stuff.

00:07:32.000 That's probably not the right way to put it, like an asteroid impact or aliens or whatever.

00:07:36.000 Uh, if we're just jumping into the stories that we started off with that story about soldiers being vetted from your military experience.

00:07:43.000 I don't know if I don't hope you don't mind if we were just jumping into it.

00:07:45.000 Okay.

00:07:45.000 All right.

00:07:46.000 I'm so sorry.

00:07:46.000 How rude of me.

00:07:51.000 Here in the corner, Luke likes to try to jump into things, but I'm really excited to have this guest because I was psyched to learn about Fortitude Ranch, and I'm stoked to learn about all the details tonight.

00:08:01.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:08:02.000 It'll be interesting context, too, especially with your military experience and everything that's going on, which is what Luke mentioned.

00:08:06.000 But before we do that, Luke, who wants to promote his shirts, go to TimCast.com, become a member, and get access to exclusive content because we actually now have two segments.

00:08:15.000 We just launched the site last week.

00:08:16.000 We're still working out bugs.

00:08:17.000 There's also a shop.

00:08:19.000 And if you go to TimCast.com and click that shop button, you can buy your exclusive, I am a gorilla t-shirt, which apparently is the most popular shirt we've ever made.

00:08:27.000 And it's not even political.

00:08:28.000 I don't get it, but everybody loves the gorilla shirt.

00:08:30.000 It's funny.

00:08:31.000 And now we have, we have gorillas here for some reason. 0.94

00:08:34.000 Cause people just keep posting gorilla emojis and that's become the thing.

00:08:37.000 Thanks, Alex.

00:08:38.000 Well, we've made money on the shirts, I'll put it that way.

00:08:40.000 But go to TimCast.com, become a member, and don't forget to like, subscribe, hit the notification bell, and share this podcast right now.

00:08:46.000 If you really do like it, you really want to help us grow, sharing, word of mouth, the most powerful way to help us out.

00:08:53.000 But let's jump into that first story.

00:08:55.000 NBC News reports 12 National Guard members removed from inauguration duty, including two for inappropriate comments.

00:09:04.000 The FBI has been screening all service members involved with the inauguration amid growing security concerns.

00:09:10.000 They say, quote, we have two individuals that were identified as making inappropriate comments or texts.

00:09:16.000 I gotta stop and just ask, what does that mean?

00:09:18.000 Did they post a meme of Hillary Clinton or something and all of a sudden they're getting kicked out?

00:09:22.000 Well, it's also stuff that they retweeted that supposedly is bad content, but we're, again, getting very generalized language, no exact examples, and we should at least get that with the latest news.

00:09:34.000 And again, it's 12 out of 25,000?

00:09:38.000 It's not a whole lot, but it is kind of weird they're doing it.

00:09:41.000 So actually I have a Twitter thread from Jack Posobiec.

00:09:41.000 I gotta be honest.

00:09:44.000 He says, White House source, the NRA, Turning Point USA, and Patriot Guard riders are three of many non-militia groups on the list CID and FBI are using to cross-reference in vetting for potential extremists.

00:09:58.000 Yeah, what is that?

00:09:58.000 Why?

00:09:59.000 Young Americans for Freedom?

00:10:00.000 Also on the list.

00:10:00.000 Yep.

00:10:01.000 They're looking at various TPTPU chapters in almost every university and high school

00:10:07.000 where there is one, for example high school members who are in the Future Soldiers program,

00:10:11.000 which is Army's version of Delayed Entry Program, college-age soldiers obviously already in.

00:10:17.000 Investigators also looking for the following in pictures.

00:10:20.000 MAGA, CAG, apparel, Gadsden flag, Confederate flag, NRA gear, and Q stuff.

00:10:27.000 I can understand some of that, but the Gadsden flag?

00:10:29.000 I mean, at any rate, it's all free speech.

00:10:33.000 Soldiers, Facebooks, Twitter, Instagram, TikToks and Snapchats are also being checked.

00:10:39.000 Units from deep red states such as Texas being thoroughly examined.

00:10:42.000 Left-wing anarchist groups also listed but not a top priority.

00:10:46.000 In fact, zero have been investigated as of this evening.

00:10:49.000 Leaders in both the Army and the FBI have directed to focus attention on groups with strong conservative sentiments.

00:10:55.000 N.C.I.S.

00:10:56.000 A.F.O.S.I.

00:10:57.000 C.G.I.S.

00:10:58.000 also expecting to receive that directive from senior D.O.D.

00:11:01.000 officials in the coming days.

00:11:03.000 This goes way beyond the inauguration.

00:11:05.000 It won't magically stop after tomorrow.

00:11:08.000 So this is actually kind of freaky, seeing this, because You've got Democrats concerned that someone, what, has a Gadsden flag?

00:11:17.000 And so they're going to investigate people and remove them from their mission, if that's the case?

00:11:22.000 Are we really at the point where, you know, we had Chris Cuomo on CNN say, we can't trust our military.

00:11:29.000 I mean, I see stuff like that, and I think of two words.

00:11:33.000 You know what those two words are, guys?

00:11:36.000 Luke's got a smile on his face.

00:11:38.000 I was gonna say fish sticks.

00:11:44.000 I don't like those words, but I've been talking about it for some time and it started when, as I mentioned always, I was reading and I think it was like New York Mag or The Atlantic, For you, Steve, I'll give you the context.

00:11:56.000 There was an article where they interviewed a bunch of national security experts from various major security companies and asked them what percentage likelihood they thought we had for a potential civil war.

00:12:08.000 And they said in the next 10 years, the average, I think, was like 35% or higher.

00:12:13.000 Some people said 95% chance.

00:12:15.000 And then watching the escalation of the culture war and the escalation of politics, To this point, where we had a bunch of Trump supporters, you know, storm through the front doors of the Capitol building.

00:12:25.000 I mean, there have been people, every step of the way, we've seen some kind of escalation.

00:12:29.000 They've said, no, no, no, no, of course not.

00:12:33.000 Well, now we had a retired Army general, I believe, Army, saying that we've not had this much security at inauguration since Abraham Lincoln.

00:12:41.000 So, it really does feel like we are knocking on the door for some kind of major catastrophe.

00:12:47.000 Now, that being said, It doesn't mean it's true.

00:12:49.000 Everything could stop right now, tomorrow could go off without a hitch, and then everyone has to slow down and calm down.

00:12:53.000 I just don't see anything happening with the rhetoric from politicians, from high-profile personalities, that would indicate things are going to calm down.

00:13:00.000 I mean, you've got AOC, you've got these leftists, Cori Bush, saying, expel the insurrectionist Republicans.

00:13:06.000 And so it feels like we're boiling over, and we're getting to that point.

00:13:10.000 Now, there's two—before, I want to ask you this, Steve.

00:13:15.000 Your business thrives when there's chaos, and I mean that with all due respect.

00:13:19.000 When the news is bad, people are going to start thinking about what they have to do to survive.

00:13:24.000 With that in mind, I imagine you've been tracking a lot of this stuff.

00:13:27.000 You're paying attention to politics to know what might happen, what people might do, and I'd be interested to get your thoughts on all of this and what you think it means.

00:13:36.000 Partly what we're seeing happening with so much of the military presence is because it's so fresh.

00:13:44.000 So there's always an overreaction, especially when you look in the political arena, because everybody, one, has to cover themselves politically, and then, you know, two, this really hasn't happened before, and it's shocking.

00:14:05.000 It's like a 9-11 type shock to the country, but it hit so close to home to those inside those chambers.

00:14:14.000 That's why you're seeing what you're seeing.

00:14:16.000 Now, will it go away quickly?

00:14:18.000 I would imagine it'll stay for a little while.

00:14:21.000 Things will have to calm down because, like you said, the rhetoric, it's not going to stop.

00:14:27.000 Now it becomes what will Will it become a payback scenario for how the impression is of what was done to Donald Trump?

00:14:37.000 So are we now going to try to do that to Joe Biden?

00:14:41.000 I think yes.

00:14:42.000 We've had, I think it was Marjorie Taylor Greene said she's going to file for impeachment day one. 1.00

00:14:46.000 Day one.

00:14:47.000 So here we go.

00:14:48.000 I mean, is it possible we hit that ceiling where this is the level of tension we get and then we never cross into that territory of actual disruption of supply lines and fighting?

00:14:58.000 It's possible, but what's going to happen now, groups are going to start to try to vie for attention.

00:15:03.000 So there was a highway that was stopped by a Black Lives Matter group, which we haven't seen in a little bit, right?

00:15:11.000 That seemed to have calmed down, but everybody now is going to vie for the attention of the incoming uh administration and so the administration comes in with like a like a debit card of capital influence and depending on how it's spent it either will grow or it will dissipate and so everybody wants to make sure the attention's on them so they can get a piece of all that

00:15:37.000 And an important aspect to really remember here, a lot of the left has been incentivized by making a lot of noise, making a lot of trouble, creating a lot of violence, and then being heard.

00:15:47.000 So there's also examples of them literally looting, rioting, and then getting their way.

00:15:52.000 So that's another thing to consider moving forward in this larger kind of political spectrum.

00:15:56.000 Getting defended by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden's administration.

00:16:00.000 So, you know, what's interesting is we didn't get this reaction when we had Black Lives Matter riots sweeping across the country. 0.53

00:16:06.000 I mean, you guys didn't activate the ranches when all those riots were happening.

00:16:09.000 No, no.

00:16:10.000 But the election, you did.

00:16:11.000 We did.

00:16:12.000 So, the way we cover our members is there's an anxiety clause, so if something happens locally, If we're not completely activated officially, they can come.

00:16:23.000 They're a member.

00:16:24.000 They can come if something happens locally, because there's no way to predict how these things are going to go.

00:16:31.000 So let's say you're in West Virginia.

00:16:33.000 If somebody lives in, say, Pennsylvania, and there's a major disaster in their town, they can come to the ranch.

00:16:39.000 Absolutely.

00:16:40.000 Because it's about their survival.

00:16:41.000 They can't just go anywhere.

00:16:41.000 They'll have somewhere to go.

00:16:43.000 Right on.

00:16:43.000 So I guess, you know, when we're looking at what's going on in DC and everything that's happened over the past 10 years, the escalation, I mentioned that article where they talk about security experts giving their predictions.

00:16:53.000 Do you think that we are on track for some kind of political instability?

00:16:57.000 I'm not going to say, you know, a civil war, but instability to the point where you will have your members coming in for safety and security.

00:17:04.000 Well, so it depends.

00:17:06.000 Things are so fresh, things are very raw.

00:17:11.000 So we rate these things, we give out certain levels for when we put out our newsletters to our members so that they understand what the different factors are, you know, whether it be from something happening with nuclear to a war, all of the different factors that you have to worry about.

00:17:30.000 We have it at 5% right now as far as what is the danger for civil unrest.

00:17:30.000 Five percent.

00:17:38.000 In the sense of how it would affect, we're always looking towards the collapse scenario.

00:17:45.000 However, you get there probably through a few crises, right?

00:17:49.000 Yeah.

00:17:50.000 So, you know, just like COVID.

00:17:52.000 COVID was a wake-up call because we were completely unprepared.

00:17:55.000 Again, that was a 9-11 event.

00:17:57.000 Something you don't prepare for, you don't see coming, and boom, there it is.

00:18:01.000 But, you know, we've been talking about it for a while.

00:18:04.000 And the fact is, we're talking about 1.8% mobility, Mortality?

00:18:15.000 Yes.

00:18:15.000 All of the above.

00:18:17.000 That's the nerve agent.

00:18:18.000 So then what happens if that was 5%?

00:18:23.000 This would be a completely different climate.

00:18:28.000 And that's not even talking about bioengineered type of viruses.

00:18:34.000 It's doable.

00:18:36.000 We don't believe that that's what happened with COVID, but it is doable.

00:18:40.000 That technology exists.

00:18:42.000 And that should be enough to scare anyone.

00:18:44.000 You know, again, we're not doomsday, you know, type prepper people where we believe the world's ending tomorrow and all this type of thing.

00:18:53.000 But the fact that that is out there and can be released really should be an eye opener.

00:18:59.000 And I'll just mention, too, you mentioned the nerve agent for those that before the show, you mentioned that you were in, I think, Iraq and you got swept over by sarin.

00:19:09.000 Yeah, well, yeah, it was during Desert Storm when we finally wound up there.

00:19:13.000 So that I just want to give quick context.

00:19:15.000 I definitely want to get into that stuff later.

00:19:16.000 But people are probably wondering what you meant when you pointed your head and said nerve agent.

00:19:19.000 Yeah, if I if I get blocked in thought, it's it's just the synapses trying to reconnect up there.

00:19:26.000 Well, specifically what you were talking about before was gain-of-function studies that have proven to have no scientific basis at all, but it's pretty much when scientists come together and they're literally trying to create the worst destructive disease or virus possible, and a lot of times this is funded by a lot of uh... taxpayer funded money and everyone's scratching their

00:19:47.000 head like why is this going on doctor fauci was a part of financing

00:19:50.000 this is also in wuhan and just the fact that they continue this type of

00:19:54.000 research is something to of course worry about which is why i think you're

00:19:57.000 putting it in your throat threat assessment weaponization yeah i think i think

00:20:01.000 I think it's simple.

00:20:02.000 You say there's no scientific benefit.

00:20:03.000 Of course.

00:20:04.000 It's the new frontier of war, right?

00:20:07.000 It's horrifying what they did.

00:20:08.000 I mean, you look at mustard gas.

00:20:10.000 You look at sarin gas.

00:20:11.000 You look at what these things do to people.

00:20:13.000 Agent Orange.

00:20:14.000 Yeah, nightmarish.

00:20:16.000 Horrifying.

00:20:17.000 Well, the next level up is a self-replicating contagion.

00:20:20.000 Imagine if you could make sarin gas, but it would replicate itself and spread to other people. 0.96

00:20:24.000 Well, that's part of this research.

00:20:26.000 I can only imagine that the military's got some Crazy stuff.

00:20:30.000 Did you prep the story about the scientist who said he had... Well, it's from The Daily Caller.

00:20:35.000 The title is, U.S.

00:20:36.000 scientist who led charge against COVID lab leak theory admits he was trying to protect Chinese scientists.

00:20:42.000 So this guy came out and said it did not leak from the Chinese lab, and now he admits that he was trying to protect the Chinese scientists involved.

00:20:50.000 So we don't have any confirmation of the lab leak theory, but I will say it's strange that New York... I think it was New York Magazine.

00:20:55.000 It's always, I think, New York Magazine.

00:20:57.000 They wrote an article going through the theory that it was... I guess the idea is they were trying to do research on it, either to make a vaccine.

00:21:06.000 And I'm not saying it's true.

00:21:07.000 YouTube, calm down.

00:21:09.000 This is what was published in a prominent New York publication, where a guy wrote that there is a very real theory among scientists that it was an accidental release.

00:21:17.000 That they were engineering this for a variety of reasons and made a mistake.

00:21:21.000 There's also some video footage going around showing how one of the scientists at this level three Wuhan lab was actually bitten by a bat and had had COVID-like symptoms all the way back a few years ago.

00:21:33.000 But there's, as you were saying, it's almost impossible to prove that it did come out of that lab, especially with China locking out the World Health Organization for over a year.

00:21:42.000 from even investigating the origins of the sickness, but kind of continuing back on the military aspect, since you were in the military.

00:21:49.000 I really specifically was dying to ask you, what do you think it does to morale to be vetted, like we're seeing the vetted going on right now, and how is the political kind of climate affecting the military, and how do you think it would be affected from your experience in the military?

00:22:04.000 Yeah, you know, that's an interesting question, because Certainly during my time, I never experienced anything like that.

00:22:09.000 We never had such heightened political tension that it was really a factor when you sat around in the barracks or something.

00:22:17.000 It really wasn't, you know, part of my experience, but I can tell you from anybody who is serving or has served, it's like a slap in the face.

00:22:29.000 It's something you take pride in.

00:22:32.000 I mean, I think it's one percent of all of All of the 330 some odd million people, only 1% serve.

00:22:40.000 Yeah.

00:22:41.000 And I have to imagine of these 12 guards that got removed, they probably have a lot of friends who are still there on the mission.

00:22:48.000 And I can only imagine they're not happy about being, being removed.

00:22:51.000 I'm sure they kind of just say like, yeah, you know, that's the, that's the game.

00:22:54.000 You get orders, you follow your orders.

00:22:56.000 Well, they'll do their duty.

00:22:57.000 And then when it comes down to it, they'll do their duty.

00:23:00.000 But like you mentioned, a slap in the face.

00:23:02.000 I have to imagine their friends probably feel, you know, loyal to their friends, you know?

00:23:06.000 Someone you serve with, someone you know and you trust, and then they say, no, this person's not trustworthy, get him out of here.

00:23:11.000 And you're like, dude, come on, like, what's the deal?

00:23:15.000 Well, you're deemed as a threat for liking something online or retreating something.

00:23:20.000 Now, we don't know what was liked.

00:23:21.000 The Gadsden flag, dude.

00:23:22.000 The symbol of the American Revolution, a symbol of the American Revolution, is grounds for removing you from your duty to protect the Capitol?

00:23:30.000 You said the NRA?

00:23:33.000 Part of Jack Posobiec's threat is they're saying that some people who were posted or associated with the NRA.

00:23:38.000 It's insane.

00:23:40.000 I kind of mixed feelings like you need to protect your military.

00:23:44.000 And if you have traitors in the military, that's a problem.

00:23:46.000 But assuming these people are traitors is also can be a problem.

00:23:50.000 And that's a that's a dark road to go.

00:23:52.000 That's a big word traitor.

00:23:54.000 The problem is, well, I think the legal definition of traitor is actually providing aid or resource to an active enemy of the United States.

00:24:03.000 So I think, you know, traitor gets thrown around a whole lot.

00:24:05.000 The problem is, when it comes to people storming into the Capitol, those people thought they were the patriots.

00:24:11.000 By going in there, they were restoring the Constitution, defending it.

00:24:14.000 And that the people in the chamber, they believed, were the bad guys.

00:24:17.000 Everybody's the hero of their own story.

00:24:19.000 It's not so simple.

00:24:20.000 So the most powerful thing in this whole situation is the media narrative.

00:24:23.000 Which is why we're now, what, two, just about two weeks out from the storming of the U.S. Capitol.

00:24:29.000 Every day, it's been like 50 stories in a variety of ways. 0.89

00:24:33.000 Many of which are just ridiculous. 0.77

00:24:35.000 Many of which just are trying as hard as possible to make it as crazy as possible. 0.68

00:24:40.000 There was one story that came out where they said it was pre-planned, and they were planning on capturing, taking hostages, and assassinating these people, and then like three hours later, that wasn't true, we made a mistake.

00:24:50.000 So that's what happens when the media is driven to pump out the most sensational, insane, you know, media.

00:24:56.000 And I think for a lot of the people who work for these news outlets, they're ideologically tribal left.

00:25:02.000 So it fits their narrative and it fits their bias and they get to write about this non-stop.

00:25:06.000 And it's everything they wanted. 0.99

00:25:08.000 It was probably one of the stupidest things anyone could have done is storming into that Capitol for a variety of reasons. 0.94

00:25:12.000 It's on moral grounds, legal grounds, and then in actual reference to the political landscape, gave the left everything they could have wanted. 0.94

00:25:20.000 I remember there was, I'm not sure if it was Newsweek, I think it was Newsweek, where they said, if Trump loses, it was like in 2016, they said, what happens if Trump loses?

00:25:27.000 And it's a picture of a bunch of middle-aged white people holding torches and yelling and screaming.

00:25:32.000 And they're like, that's what's gonna happen if Trump loses.

00:25:34.000 And then Trump won.

00:25:35.000 And it was the left that, you know, kind of went nuts and were screaming and the Democrats went after Trump trying to

00:25:39.000 impeach him.

00:25:40.000 Well, sure enough, Trump loses this time and they got their their their prophecy fulfilled by people storming that

00:25:46.000 Capitol and they are not going to let it go.

00:25:47.000 They're going to use it for all it's worth.

00:25:48.000 There's a new video going around today that's called Hashtag Trump's New Army. 0.91

00:25:53.000 And it's pretty much calling Trump supporters traitorous terrorists.

00:26:00.000 Brett Weinstein called this out.

00:26:02.000 I saw it from him retweeting it saying this is essentially trying to get your neighbors into a civil war.

00:26:07.000 So this is Brett Weinstein's commentary on the video that is making its round around kind of liberal checkmarks.

00:26:14.000 Do you have an opinion about maybe what happened on the Capitol or this kind of political climate that seems to be getting more and more weaponized against each other?

00:26:25.000 We definitely have entered into a period of lost perspective.

00:26:31.000 No one can understand why the other person feels that way and we need to take a step back as a country and look at our, you know, fellow man differently because not everyone's the enemy just because they voted one way Or the other.

00:26:50.000 Honestly, I don't quite understand why the line is drawn so harshly the way that it's been drawn.

00:27:00.000 But this has been building up for a while.

00:27:01.000 I mean, the signs have all been there.

00:27:05.000 But, you know, when you actually see it erupt like it has, then, you know, you really...

00:27:15.000 have to understand that we're still the same people we were four years ago.

00:27:21.000 I mean, let's let's all calm down for a second.

00:27:24.000 I think there's a the ideology is drifting too far, too fast.

00:27:29.000 And I think, you know, people call me they'll call me a bias, but I think the left is drifting very, very far.

00:27:35.000 I shouldn't it's not necessarily to the left.

00:27:37.000 But the tribal division is coming from those associated with more of the left faction, the anti-Trump groups.

00:27:43.000 The example I give is, you know, the journalist from CNN, I shouldn't call him a journalist, the activist from CNN, who's now calling up cable providers and telling them to ban Fox News.

00:27:53.000 Four years ago, this guy interviewed me about defending free speech.

00:27:57.000 So he's part of this group that has just drifted further and further into the extremes.

00:28:00.000 I'm sitting in the exact same place.

00:28:02.000 Defending free speech and all that.

00:28:03.000 But I want to pull up this tweet from Brett Weinstein and get into this, and we'll talk about this divide.

00:28:08.000 Brett Weinstein tweeted in response to a tweet from Don Winslow, who says, New video!

00:28:13.000 Trump's new army!

00:28:14.000 Volume up!

00:28:15.000 On January 20th, Donald Trump will no longer be the Commander-in-Chief.

00:28:19.000 He will lose control of the U.S.

00:28:21.000 Armed Forces and take control of a new army.

00:28:25.000 Brett Weinstein says this video is diabolical, painting millions of citizens not only as disloyal to the nation, but as literal terrorists, as it attempts to draft the rest into fighting their neighbors in a civil war the filmmakers clearly desire.

00:28:40.000 I stand with all patriots against this madness.

00:28:44.000 And so we have this, uh, this is the tweet from Brett, and then, uh, it was a different tweet.

00:28:48.000 So this is the video he posted.

00:28:50.000 And I'm not going to play through the whole thing because I think it's disturbing and it's quite long.

00:28:55.000 But it shows regular people at a Trump rally and says, this army.

00:28:59.000 It's just people who showed up.

00:29:01.000 These are people waving American flags.

00:29:03.000 What they don't realize or what I think they don't care.

00:29:07.000 about is that at DC, you had hundreds of thousands of people cheering for the president as he gave one of his last big public events.

00:29:16.000 Then you had a few thousand march on the Capitol grounds, and a few hundred went inside.

00:29:21.000 Those people are all being arrested. 1.00

00:29:23.000 It was a stupid thing to do. 1.00

00:29:23.000 They shouldn't have done it. 1.00

00:29:24.000 They're getting arrested for it.

00:29:25.000 Well, so be it.

00:29:26.000 But the overwhelming majority, hundreds of thousands of people, didn't do or say anything to anybody.

00:29:32.000 They showed up.

00:29:32.000 There was one guy who lost his record label, Budimeth.

00:29:35.000 What was his name?

00:29:36.000 Ariel Pink.

00:29:37.000 Ariel Pink.

00:29:38.000 Yep.

00:29:39.000 Because he was just there.

00:29:40.000 And he said, I went and saw the speech and then went back home.

00:29:42.000 There's an intelligence, a psychological operations officer being investigated for simply bringing

00:29:48.000 people to see the president speak and then going back to her hotel. 0.98

00:29:52.000 That's how insane things are getting.

00:29:55.000 And so I know they'll say I'm biased and they like to assign whether you're left or right,

00:30:03.000 based on what you believe but based on who you defend I guess.

00:30:07.000 But when you have a dude coming at, putting a video up, Encouraging civil war and telling people to fight their neighbors.

00:30:14.000 That's not coming from the right.

00:30:15.000 The worst of the worst conspiracies we get from the right are pointed at global elites, bankers, politicians.

00:30:23.000 The left is targeting working class people.

00:30:26.000 Regular Americans walking around on the ground.

00:30:28.000 That's why, you know, I talk about this.

00:30:30.000 We talk about civil war.

00:30:32.000 I'm not saying it's a good thing.

00:30:33.000 I'm saying it's a bad thing.

00:30:34.000 And I'm saying so long as these people keep advocating for things like this and putting these videos out, They're not getting banned when they do this.

00:30:40.000 It is people like Brett Weinstein who had Unity Party trying to bring people together.

00:30:44.000 Nope, banned.

00:30:45.000 It's conservatives.

00:30:46.000 They got banned?

00:30:46.000 Unity got banned?

00:30:47.000 Yep.

00:30:47.000 Why'd it get banned?

00:30:48.000 No idea.

00:30:49.000 No one knows.

00:30:50.000 Are you familiar with the Unity Party?

00:30:51.000 Mm-mm.

00:30:52.000 So Brett Weinstein is a professor.

00:30:54.000 He's a smart fellow.

00:30:55.000 And he wanted to get a left-wing individual and a right-wing individual and have them run on the same ticket to unify as much of the left and the right as possible to stop this divide.

00:31:04.000 And social media nuked his campaign.

00:31:07.000 Just outright removed it.

00:31:08.000 Yeah, we're in a toxic environment, and that's not going away anytime soon.

00:31:13.000 You know, I talked about the 5%, but that was of the day, you know, as we daily update that.

00:31:19.000 So, do you mean like a 5% chance?

00:31:20.000 Is that what that means?

00:31:21.000 Right, in the sense of even what would happen tomorrow.

00:31:25.000 So, we're not activated, right?

00:31:27.000 We don't believe it's going... That's kind of high!

00:31:30.000 It's the cascading effects behind all this.

00:31:38.000 It's never just one thing.

00:31:40.000 It's how this continues to build.

00:31:42.000 I don't know how small or if there will be a honeymoon period for the incoming administration.

00:31:55.000 I doubt it too because of this toxic situation and we're gonna get so many precedences have been stomped upon that there's no end in sight.

00:32:07.000 Let me ask you the tough question.

00:32:09.000 What if you have members who are staunchly anti-Trump?

00:32:13.000 I mean, you don't screen people's politics when they become members.

00:32:16.000 No, no, we don't.

00:32:16.000 What happens if you've got people who are, you know, come in there saying, Donald Trump's destroyed this country.

00:32:22.000 The conflict is all his fault.

00:32:24.000 And then they show up one day and there's another guy who says, Biden destroyed this country.

00:32:27.000 It's all the Democrats' fault.

00:32:29.000 And they walk up to each other.

00:32:30.000 Guy's got a Gadsden flag in America and the other guy's wearing Biden or whatever.

00:32:33.000 Well, if we have to come together, those things don't matter anymore.

00:32:37.000 Yeah.

00:32:37.000 Because things fell apart.

00:32:39.000 And then people will get perspective.

00:32:42.000 I think that's actually the, you know, one thing we mentioned before we started the show, you mentioned these silos where millionaires will get bunkers and stuff.

00:32:50.000 I think actually one thing that makes what you guys do, what makes it work more than anything else is you have leadership.

00:32:56.000 You have people like you who are running it who will be the ones to intervene and say, shut your mouth if you want to survive, stop fighting over this stuff.

00:33:03.000 Absolutely.

00:33:04.000 And see, that's really the only way it will work.

00:33:07.000 Because, you know, people try to do this either on their own or they try to do it in smaller groups.

00:33:15.000 But it generally ends in confrontation, either financially or over how all this is going to work.

00:33:21.000 And then they'll reach out and contact us and say, do you want to purchase this land and stuff?

00:33:25.000 You know, we no longer can do this.

00:33:27.000 We get that all the time.

00:33:29.000 Because without structure, it's not going to work.

00:33:32.000 You're talking about people coming under an extremely stressful situation and if there isn't something already in place, it'll be chaos.

00:33:42.000 Now, before you made a very good point, you're saying that people just need to take a step back.

00:33:48.000 I mean, that's something me and you have been talking about for years.

00:33:50.000 Like, calm down, relax, take a step back, stop escalating these things, stop the cycle of hate that's been perpetrated by the mainstream media.

00:33:58.000 But it looks like we're definitely full steam ahead on the divide and conquer train, and there's no stopping it.

00:34:04.000 How bad, if it would get really bad, do you see it getting?

00:34:07.000 Because, as you said, it's a slippery slope.

00:34:09.000 We've been seeing it for a while, but the snowball that started, it's already getting pretty big.

00:34:14.000 What would be the worst possible scenario that you would see unfolding from here?

00:34:19.000 Well, I think again, in order to get attention for an incoming administration, we're going to see an uptick in some kind of unrest.

00:34:27.000 Those looking to get the attention onto them so that then they can promote whatever it is they're looking to promote.

00:34:34.000 So then that is going to upset those who are against whatever they are promoting.

00:34:39.000 And so we're not going to see a low.

00:34:41.000 We'll see a consistent rebutting of heads.

00:34:46.000 And then it really depends on what the local governments do.

00:34:51.000 So much of this depends on what the politicians do in order to make this go away to a certain degree and calm it down or not.

00:35:01.000 So you had the Chop Chads thing, which you guys I'm sure talked about so many times.

00:35:09.000 So when that leader comes out and says the summer of love and she probably believed it I mean I have no idea right that was her perspective at the time or is just something to be said politically but then it completely collapses and it shows you what's going on now I know that's been tried you know in a couple different places and so other ways But law enforcement already cut that off.

00:35:34.000 They've seen it.

00:35:34.000 So we won't necessarily see the same things.

00:35:38.000 It's the one you don't see coming.

00:35:41.000 And that's what we're going to... You know, you gotta... They'll have to be on guard for it, but there'll be things that'll take us by surprise.

00:35:49.000 These people who are advocating for conflict.

00:35:53.000 I don't care which faction, what your ideology is, left, right, whatever.

00:35:57.000 Many of them.

00:35:58.000 Actually, I think it's fair to say, more so on the left than the right.

00:36:01.000 They have no idea what they're asking for.

00:36:03.000 I think with conservatives, you're more likely to find people who live in rural areas, who have fired guns, and who understand conflict and these threats.

00:36:12.000 Not completely, but definitely more so than the left.

00:36:15.000 So I guess I don't want to, you know, maybe make an issue of it for you guys, but if you can answer, do you tend to see more conservatives than liberals?

00:36:25.000 I mean, I say it would be fair from what, you know, those who I know and when groups have come out, I would say definitely you can say that it leans that way, but it's not a big part of even their mentality when they come out.

00:36:41.000 They're trying to get away from that, you understand?

00:36:45.000 They want to escape all of this butting of heads and all the rhetoric and all the insidious talk towards one another.

00:36:55.000 You know, partisan politics is insane.

00:36:57.000 But it's tribal now.

00:36:59.000 It's beyond parties.

00:37:00.000 Like, when you have two parties, you're like, your party's wrong.

00:37:02.000 Now it's tribe.

00:37:03.000 It's like you are the enemy.

00:37:04.000 And what scares me is, I got out of Egypt just before they started just gunning down the Muslim Brotherhood.

00:37:12.000 So you had, you know, this is 2013.

00:37:15.000 You had the second revolution in a year.

00:37:17.000 And the problem was, the Muslim Brotherhood was the largest voting bloc.

00:37:21.000 So they were going to win the election.

00:37:24.000 But it was creating instability because most of the country was, to a certain degree, secular and didn't want to vote for this one faction.

00:37:31.000 So a minority faction winning elections was creating this instability.

00:37:33.000 So the military said, here's the answer. 1.00

00:37:35.000 Kill them. 1.00

00:37:36.000 And that's what happened. 0.98

00:37:37.000 So if we're really entering this period, and this freaks me out because other people have brought up stuff like this, and I hate to even, you know, kind of talk about this stuff, but if we're at the point where you have different sides vying for the attention, going out there protesting, escalating street battles already over the past several years between the warring tribes, not the most, like, you know, insane in terms of things I've seen and would have had in other countries, but yes, still death.

00:38:01.000 Still some pretty shocking and extreme scenarios. 0.93

00:38:03.000 Trump supporter getting shot in the chest, walking down the street twice by this dude and the law enforcement goes and kills this guy.

00:38:08.000 We're getting to that point. 0.96

00:38:09.000 My fear is if this instability doesn't stop, do we come to a point where those in power just say, gun those people down, get rid of those people.

00:38:19.000 That's the wrong tribe. 0.99

00:38:20.000 Whoever's in power takes it.

00:38:21.000 No, you can never stop the instability.

00:38:23.000 And the only way that you could is if they became a totalitarian dictatorship that shoved us inside and said no more instability.

00:38:30.000 But that's why I'm saying always be in stability.

00:38:32.000 They'll go for the guns before they start shooting themselves.

00:38:37.000 Yeah, that's the only course that makes sense.

00:38:39.000 It's really interesting to hear from one of the common talking points from the left on guns is that you can't go up against the US military.

00:38:48.000 They have nukes and cruise missiles and fighter jets.

00:38:51.000 It's amazing because they've never heard of Vietnam or Afghanistan.

00:38:54.000 So the government really does have to go after guns before they can do anything to lock down the people or be Totalitarian.

00:39:01.000 And you can 3D print guns now, so... Yeah, it's kind of like... It's true too, yeah.

00:39:04.000 If you have like a CNC machine or, you know, don't they have metal 3D printers even?

00:39:09.000 Definitely.

00:39:10.000 You can be manufacturing all this stuff very easily and cheaply now.

00:39:13.000 A lot of people can.

00:39:14.000 Not only that, but there's the... What's the gun that can shoot one time before it breaks?

00:39:19.000 The ghost gun?

00:39:20.000 There's a plastic gun that can take one round and it fires and then breaks.

00:39:24.000 I don't know if it breaks, but a lot of them do break easily.

00:39:28.000 3D printing is not as advanced as people think it is.

00:39:31.000 A lot of liberals think that you could just click print and get a fully automatic machine gun.

00:39:35.000 That's not how it works.

00:39:36.000 They thought glocks would not be able to be detected by metal detectors because they don't understand what gun parts are.

00:39:40.000 Exactly.

00:39:41.000 There's some guns that are made with plastic, but again, they don't last that long.

00:39:45.000 They are very difficult to make.

00:39:46.000 You can make certain components for it, but making a full firing firearm is very, very difficult with 3D printing, to be completely honest with you.

00:39:56.000 We're kind of jumbled a little bit, but I wanted to get your perspective.

00:39:59.000 Do you think that's a fair kind of analysis of of the Vietnam reference when it comes to the United States, especially in our current kind of political crisis.

00:40:07.000 Do you think there could be a similar kind of conflict?

00:40:13.000 It's possible.

00:40:14.000 You wouldn't have said that again, you know, four years ago.

00:40:18.000 That would have, you know, I think back it was October of 2019 when the Washington Post came out and did an interview, viewed the ranch.

00:40:31.000 You know, the very things that we talked about, I don't mean that like I told you so in any scenario like that, because this is just what we do, this is what we pay attention, but civil unrest, we talked about epidemics, we talked about all these things that are going on.

00:40:49.000 When the article comes out, you know, the hatred underneath all the remarks and things people just had could not believe that that could possibly happen even then and Now we're two steps past that now we're gonna have a financial reckoning.

00:41:06.000 Yeah That's what I was gonna bring up because I was gonna say we were just talking about Politically and there's a big chance that something like a new kind of popular Occupy Wall Street could happen there's a chance of that but the more likelihood kind of scenario is economic and that a lot of people aren't really looking at that I think is the huge kind of tsunami that we're still not seeing the ramifications of.

00:41:25.000 It's the cascading effect so we to us to reach that point it's going to it's going to be continued lockdowns and or different variants will come out of COVID as we're already starting to see in the news which continues this it's this long process that wears people out and then the you know the straw that breaks the camel's back will be coming for people's guns.

00:41:47.000 It's a perfect time for me to bring up, I pulled up the Washington Post article, and there's a perfect quote for what you just said.

00:41:52.000 said from this from Drew Miller quote, you know, people use the term Civil War and that

00:41:58.000 seems hard to imagine.

00:42:00.000 But what started World War One?

00:42:01.000 Some guy assassinated a minor Archduke stuff escalates unpredictably.

00:42:06.000 Yep, that's it.

00:42:07.000 The straw that breaks the camel back.

00:42:08.000 You don't know what it's gonna be, or when, or how.

00:42:11.000 And it's... Oh, sorry to interrupt you.

00:42:12.000 No, no, no.

00:42:13.000 It's the Liberator, was that gun you were thinking of.

00:42:14.000 It's a one-shot, 3D-printable pistol.

00:42:17.000 And a ghost gun is a gun... It's full plastic, though.

00:42:19.000 Are the firing... Is the firing pin plastic, too?

00:42:21.000 It's gotta be metal, right?

00:42:22.000 I think the entire thing was... I don't know, to be honest.

00:42:24.000 They printed it... It was like one of the first guns they ever 3D-printed in 2013.

00:42:27.000 And it shoots once, and then it breaks.

00:42:29.000 A ghost gun is a gun that's... I don't think it breaks, but I think it doesn't have that many rounds that you could shoot with it.

00:42:35.000 Yeah, this calls it a one-shot pistol.

00:42:37.000 You have to reload.

00:42:38.000 You put one in and it fires.

00:42:40.000 And they did break a lot in the early days.

00:42:42.000 You had to pull the trigger with a string from far away because it could explode in your hand.

00:42:47.000 I'm not reliable!

00:42:48.000 And a ghost gun is a gun that's printed without a serial number.

00:42:52.000 There's probably lots of those.

00:42:53.000 Is that legal?

00:42:54.000 No, I don't think so.

00:42:55.000 Yeah, you can't do that.

00:42:57.000 But was the American Revolution legal?

00:42:59.000 Well, no, that dude, what was that guy's name?

00:43:04.000 Was it Tacoma or Olympia or whatever who showed up at the ICE facility?

00:43:06.000 Oh, Willem?

00:43:07.000 Yeah, the Dutch guy.

00:43:08.000 He had a ghost gun.

00:43:09.000 He made a weapon and he showed up and was firebombing.

00:43:13.000 And it's all been this cycle of gradual escalation that I think a lot of it comes from the media.

00:43:21.000 A lot of the tensions, the people being inflamed.

00:43:23.000 Crazy.

00:43:24.000 It's not just the mainstream media, though. 0.93

00:43:26.000 It's social media.

00:43:27.000 Like, look at this clip from, you know, this guy Drew.

00:43:31.000 Let me pull that Bret Weinstein thing back up.

00:43:31.000 What's his name?

00:43:33.000 Don Winslow.

00:43:37.000 Let me see what he's got.

00:43:37.000 What is this?

00:43:40.000 22,000 retweets.

00:43:41.000 3.8 million views.

00:43:44.000 These people are being radicalized by some random dude.

00:43:47.000 Well, is he random?

00:43:47.000 Let's see how many followers he's got.

00:43:48.000 He's got a verified account.

00:43:49.000 He's got 636,000 followers. 1.00

00:43:52.000 These people are psychotic. 0.95

00:43:53.000 I'm sorry, man. 0.96

00:43:54.000 I repeatedly, on all of my segments, say, you don't want this.

00:43:58.000 Tone it down.

00:43:59.000 Stop doing this.

00:44:00.000 Stop saying these things.

00:44:01.000 And what do they do?

00:44:02.000 They make more videos.

00:44:03.000 They ramp it up.

00:44:03.000 They go crazy.

00:44:04.000 Like I said, man, if you follow all these QAnon people and these conspiracy things, I think it's nuts. 1.00

00:44:09.000 But what are they complaining about?

00:44:10.000 Global elites, the 1%, the bankers, the politicians.

00:44:15.000 There's some issues with that, for sure.

00:44:16.000 You know, some people get their lives threatened, and that's not a good thing.

00:44:19.000 And there have been politicians people tried to kill.

00:44:20.000 It's terrible.

00:44:21.000 But these people are making videos targeting regular Americans just because they're wearing a red hat or waving a Gadsden flag.

00:44:27.000 That kind of amping up is coming mostly from the left, and it's going to result in more extremism and the targeting of regular people, and I've seen it.

00:44:37.000 I remember in, I think it was 2015, I watched an elderly couple get shoved to the ground, their hats ripped off and set on fire.

00:44:43.000 I've seen regular people just walking down the street get punched because they thought the person was a Trump supporter.

00:44:48.000 All this has been piling up, and that's why I've been saying for some time that I think we're headed towards whatever you want to call it.

00:44:54.000 I don't know.

00:44:55.000 Civil War, if you like to say that.

00:44:56.000 Maybe Drew is more correct when he said things escalate unpredictably.

00:45:01.000 We don't know what, when, or how, you know, will be that main catalyst, that shot heard around the world.

00:45:06.000 No idea.

00:45:08.000 Hopefully it doesn't go that far.

00:45:10.000 No, and, you know, circling back to what we were talking about, even about that 5%, you know, chance that something, you know, can escalate and that could actually happen, the idea is that's not happening tomorrow.

00:45:23.000 There's things that are going to have to take place, you know, when I say... Before.

00:45:26.000 Right.

00:45:27.000 You know, calm down, folks.

00:45:29.000 It's not going to happen tomorrow.

00:45:31.000 But it could happen tomorrow.

00:45:32.000 Well, we could get struck by a meteor tomorrow.

00:45:34.000 No, we've got 25,000 National Guard in D.C.

00:45:37.000 right now worried because of a threat of armed militia groups occupying the Capitol.

00:45:43.000 There have been literal statements from individuals, not prominent individuals, there was one guy who got arrested for leaving a voicemail saying, I don't want to repeat what he said, but he threatened to go down and do some crazy stuff with people.

00:45:57.000 And they arrested the guy.

00:45:59.000 Right, but in order for what we're talking about to happen, something has to be organized.

00:46:04.000 Again, there still has to be, there are things that need to take place.

00:46:09.000 I truly believe we're heading down that path, and depending on what our politicians do, It will direct that path one way or another, but then you throw in the media jumping all over it.

00:46:23.000 It doesn't even have to be just for political reasons.

00:46:26.000 Sometimes it's just about money, and it's just about the influence and the power that's gained over that.

00:46:33.000 You know, there's so many factors, but it's definitely building, for sure.

00:46:39.000 When you have Democrats—look, you had Ted Cruz and a variety of some other individuals calling for unity.

00:46:46.000 And the response from Ocasio-Cortez was, no, resign now or be expelled.

00:46:52.000 So if the establishment Republicans are like, chill, we'll unify, and the Democrats say no.

00:46:58.000 And don't get me wrong, you had Democrats after the election saying, Republicans, let's unify, and Republicans said no.

00:47:03.000 So it's really just like, incongruity.

00:47:06.000 Neither side is willing to back down.

00:47:08.000 And now that the media has been shoving this capital right in everyone's faces, It's crazy.

00:47:12.000 There's a video of a guy in a MAGA hat walking up to cops and saying, why aren't you doing anything?

00:47:18.000 Call for backup.

00:47:19.000 This is the Capitol.

00:47:20.000 Call for backup.

00:47:21.000 Trying to stop what was going on.

00:47:23.000 I saw this on Reddit and the comments were, whoa, a sane Trump supporter.

00:47:27.000 That's crazy. 0.99

00:47:28.000 When you see comments like that, that this idea that every single Trump supporter is a moron or psychotic or acute conspiracy theorist, that's leading to this conflict. 0.99

00:47:39.000 It means that you're reading too much Reddit. 1.00

00:47:40.000 No, it means that you've got Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks doing an op-ed for The Hill where he said you have three factions, the leftists, the establishment, and the right-wing conspiracy nutjobs who are all stupid and believe fake news. 0.98

00:47:54.000 And I'm like, I wouldn't even say that about the left. 0.86

00:47:56.000 I'll say there are prominent figures that are driving this, that are escalating it, but I try to separate the establishment from leftists because there are leftists who I think are good people.

00:48:05.000 And I think, you know, I disagree with or have bad ideas.

00:48:07.000 It's about it.

00:48:08.000 And that's that's like the old saying, you know, conservatives think that liberals are misguided.

00:48:11.000 Liberals think conservatives are evil.

00:48:13.000 When you have videos like this saying they're all evil, it's just gonna.

00:48:17.000 It's gonna get crazy, but I don't know, man.

00:48:19.000 You know, a lot of people like to say that.

00:48:23.000 It's something the left has no idea what they're getting themselves into, because conservatives are more likely to be armed and prepared and know what's going on.

00:48:30.000 But I'm not entirely convinced it would be so one-sided.

00:48:33.000 I think if there really was some kind of conflict, it's probably going to be urban versus rural.

00:48:36.000 That's like a big driving factor for whatever reason.

00:48:38.000 Different cultures.

00:48:40.000 And there's going to be things that people on one side or the other side don't control or don't have, and it'll make things very difficult for everybody, which is why anybody who talks big on this stuff and wants it to happen has, I think, there's no idea what they're talking about.

00:48:51.000 Yeah, they're clueless.

00:48:52.000 There are some people who have emailed me saying, you know, because I've said this over and over again, you know,

00:48:56.000 people who really want this have no idea what combat and conflict is really like.

00:48:59.000 And I've gotten emails from people saying that they served in the army or the Marines or, you know, they've been

00:49:04.000 overseas in conflict and know exactly what they're talking about.

00:49:07.000 There are people who are staunch, you know, believers in traditional America and the Constitution and all of this

00:49:14.000 stuff.

00:49:15.000 And they're ready and willing and angry.

00:49:18.000 And there are some people who know exactly what it means.

00:49:22.000 And that's freaky.

00:49:23.000 I think the problem is then you have the left, which is the opposite factor.

00:49:26.000 And they're just angry.

00:49:28.000 And they don't know what they're asking for, so the ignorance is driving them.

00:49:32.000 Yeah, you definitely have a combination that is going to... Again, I always go back to what the politicians do with this, right?

00:49:44.000 It's not like they're unaware.

00:49:46.000 And so what happens to either fuel... We know what the media is going to do.

00:49:52.000 They're just going to fuel it.

00:49:54.000 They're in the business to do that.

00:49:55.000 Whatever side you're on, that's how you make money.

00:49:58.000 But look at someone like Ocasio-Cortez.

00:50:01.000 In order to make money, in donations, she does the exact same thing.

00:50:05.000 She ramps up the escalation, the tensions.

00:50:08.000 She snapbacks, clapbacks at the Republicans. 0.99

00:50:11.000 Always the Republicans are the worst. 0.99

00:50:12.000 They're always bad. 0.64

00:50:13.000 Right, because she's vying to get power, right? 1.00

00:50:17.000 She has not been in there that long, and so it's also a power play on her side to, again, you know, politics is all about that influence and gaining all that backing in order to do what you think is right to do, whatever that may be.

00:50:33.000 And, you know, she's not there yet, so that's part of how she's playing it.

00:50:38.000 Well, let's jump to this next story, which kind of feeds into this.

00:50:41.000 We have this from The Hill.

00:50:43.000 Hillary Clinton said, I would love to see if Trump, quote, was talking to Putin the day the insurgents invaded our capital. 0.96

00:50:51.000 It's just ridiculous. 0.97

00:50:52.000 But. 0.76

00:50:53.000 It's all about playing to the tribal politics and finding the boogeyman to rally their base and go after the other side. 0.53

00:51:00.000 And the next story, part of the same story, is that Clinton, Pelosi, call for 9-11 style commission into the Capitol riot and Putin's role.

00:51:10.000 So there's no sign of de-escalation.

00:51:13.000 Let me read a little bit so we get some context here.

00:51:16.000 They say there is strong support in the Congress for establishing a 9-11-style commission to investigate Trump's ties to Vladimir Putin and Russian involvement in the Capitol riot.

00:51:26.000 In an interview on Clinton's podcast, You and Me Both, released Monday, Pelosi made the revelation after the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate discussed her concerns that the outgoing Commander-in-Chief was compromised by the Kremlin.

00:51:38.000 We learned a lot about our system of government over the last four years with a president who disdains democracy and, as you have said numerous times, has other agendas.

00:51:46.000 What they all are, I don't think we yet know.

00:51:49.000 I hope historically we will find out who he's beholden to, who pulls his strings.

00:51:54.000 The former Secretary of State got specific, questioning whether he spoke to Putin.

00:51:58.000 I would love to see his phone records to see whether he was talking to Putin the day the insurgents invaded our capital.

00:52:05.000 We now know that not just him, but his enablers, his accomplices, his cult members, have the same disregard for democracy.

00:52:13.000 Asked by Clinton whether the nation needs a 9-11-type commission to investigate and report everything they can pull together, Pelosi said, I do.

00:52:22.000 As I said to him in the picture with my blue suit as I was leaving, what I was saying to him as I was pointing rudely at him, with you, Mr. President, all roads lead to Putin.

00:52:31.000 The top House Democrat said at the outset of a reply, going on to say she does not know what Putin has on him politically, financially or personally, but what happened last week was a gift to Putin because Putin wants to undermine democracy in our country and throughout the world.

00:52:45.000 We had the whole Mueller probe.

00:52:48.000 It was a 30 plus million dollars spent coming up with nothing.

00:52:52.000 And now here we go again.

00:52:54.000 Mueller probe 2.0.

00:52:55.000 I mean, this is just like QAnon paranoia level stuff.

00:52:59.000 Conspiracy theories made up, pretty much suggesting that Putin was ordering Donald Trump during the Capitol siege. 0.92

00:53:06.000 How naive, how insane, how much of a crazy person do you have to be to go there based off absolutely no evidence at all? 0.50

00:53:15.000 hyperbolic theorization of the worst possible scenario that you can imagine, but yet again, 0.97

00:53:20.000 pushing a very Russian phobic kind of narrative, Russian phobic kind of policy that we've seen

00:53:28.000 from the previous administrations. We also have seen Mitt Romney call for more Russian sanctions

00:53:33.000 today. So we're going to see another big pivot towards a very aggressive foreign policy against

00:53:39.000 Russia against of course its major allies within the entire world. 0.81

00:53:44.000 And why isn't this stuff banned?

00:53:46.000 You know who doesn't like Russia succeeding?

00:53:49.000 China.

00:53:50.000 That's right.

00:53:51.000 Well, they're like in a quasi kind of alliance too, but they're also at odds in certain aspects historically as well.

00:54:00.000 But why isn't this paranoia, why isn't this fake news, why isn't this conspiracy theory banned on Twitter, on Facebook, on YouTube?

00:54:07.000 Hillary Clinton should have her podcast taken down immediately for violations of terms and services and spreading bad information that doesn't help anyone and is based off no truth at all with no evidence. 1.00

00:54:18.000 We're not at that point where they're banning podcasts yet, but they're trying.

00:54:21.000 So there's been a series of articles where they're like, podcasts are where the real radicalization happens.

00:54:26.000 And they point out that a bunch of podcasters had their YouTube channels banned or Twitter banned, but they're still on iTunes and Spotify, so it's coming.

00:54:33.000 But the bigger question is, you know, Twitter bans 70,000 people for posting Q-related content.

00:54:41.000 Not even outright conspiracy stuff.

00:54:42.000 It was people, I believe for the most part, in this leaked video we got from Project Veritas, they were mostly talking about the election, you know, voter fraud and things like that.

00:54:50.000 So Twitter bans them.

00:54:52.000 But what about the people who said the exact same thing four years ago and are saying the exact same thing now?

00:54:56.000 The fact that we have someone like Jack Dorsey and Vijaya Gade saying, we accept this tribe's unhinged conspiracy, but not this one.

00:55:04.000 To me, it's like Jack Dorsey wants people to kill each other.

00:55:08.000 And the reason I say this, and the reason why I've been very harsh on the man, It's because I sat in front of him and said, if you keep doing what you are doing, you will create civil unrest and potentially some kind of civil war.

00:55:21.000 And then I was like, I'm building a van, getting ready to bug out because of what's happening in this country. 0.99

00:55:25.000 And they laughed and said it was silly and so dumb, and I got emails from people saying, you're so silly, you're so crazy. 1.00

00:55:30.000 And then I got emails from people a year ago saying, man, you were right. 1.00

00:55:33.000 And then I got emails from people, different people, in the past couple of weeks being like, dude.

00:55:37.000 I've got people tweeting at me now like, wow, maybe Tim was right about all this.

00:55:40.000 Yeah, when you have billionaires in Silicon Valley telling American citizens you are not allowed to participate in this conversation, but The Ayatollah can.

00:55:52.000 Chinese ambassadors can lie and smear our soldiers. 1.00

00:55:56.000 And they can post pictures of Australian soldiers slitting the throat of children. 0.97

00:56:01.000 They can post that—it was an artistic render of it.

00:56:05.000 That's allowed.

00:56:06.000 Twitter allows this.

00:56:07.000 And only after massive outcry do they do anything about it.

00:56:11.000 But they will proactively purge people on the right.

00:56:14.000 Recently, there was a post from China about why it was good they're operating concentration camps.

00:56:20.000 And they left it.

00:56:21.000 And they told these journalists, it does not violate our rules.

00:56:24.000 And it was only after basically everybody said, dude, allowing China to post in favor of concentration camps kind of messed up.

00:56:30.000 They finally took it down.

00:56:32.000 They proactively go after conservatives.

00:56:34.000 Think about how dangerous this is when you have an American citizen who is expressing their opinion on their political preference.

00:56:41.000 You ban them for that preference.

00:56:43.000 Then you have an Australian citizen go on Twitter and say anything he wants, and it influences our elections. 0.96

00:56:49.000 And they allow it.

00:56:51.000 Eventually you're going to get a bunch of angry Americans watching European, Australian, or Canadian policies be running amok in our political discourse, in our news, and they're cut out?

00:57:01.000 They're going to lose it.

00:57:03.000 They already nuked Parler.

00:57:04.000 Right, and that's one of the cascading effects.

00:57:07.000 It's definitely going to be the assault on free speech.

00:57:09.000 And that is going to be one of those key elements that will bring about individual events that then build again to that point where we're really going to see a problem.

00:57:21.000 It's interesting, so a point of perspective, having been, you know, spending 12 years in the country of Belarus, which is just outside of Russia proper, and basically, you know, it's like they have a very awkward relationship trying to be a small independent nation.

00:57:39.000 So much of the Russian news is so anti-American, you wouldn't believe it.

00:57:44.000 Everybody does need the boogeyman.

00:57:46.000 And, you know, we are theirs.

00:57:47.000 And it's sort of this frenemy situation.

00:57:49.000 But it'd be interesting to see how the incoming administration, what kind of relationship they're going to try to have.

00:57:58.000 Oh, it's clearly antagonistic to Russia.

00:58:01.000 At least it's favorable to China, you know, in that regard, trying to prevent war in the Pacific.

00:58:06.000 But that's not good either.

00:58:08.000 What China is doing with the Uyghur camps, what they're doing with Hong Kong, it is what nightmares are made of.

00:58:14.000 It was also officially declared today, this is also news that happened, that China was declared to be committing genocide by the United States, especially when it comes to the Uyghur Muslim population.

00:58:25.000 So that news also just happened today, by the way.

00:58:27.000 So we have the story here from CNN.

00:58:29.000 U.S.

00:58:30.000 accuses China of genocide of Uyghurs and minority groups in Xinjiang, which I'm probably pronouncing wrong.

00:58:36.000 They say, quote, the genocide is ongoing and we are witnessing the systematic attempt to destroy Uyghurs by the Chinese party state.

00:58:44.000 U.S.

00:58:44.000 Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement on Tuesday, the last full day of the Trump administration.

00:58:49.000 Since at least March of 2017, local authorities dramatically escalated their decades-long campaign of repression against Uyghur Muslims and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups, including ethnic Kazakhs and ethnic Kyrgyz.

00:59:03.000 The U.S.

00:59:03.000 State Department has previously estimated that up to 2 million Uyghurs as well as members of other Muslim minority groups have been detained in a sprawling network of internment camps in the region.

00:59:19.000 Former re-education camp detainees have told CNN they experienced political indoctrination and abuse inside the camps, such as food and sleep deprivation and forced injections.

00:59:29.000 CNN reporting has also found that some Uyghur women were forced to use birth control and undergo sterilization.

00:59:35.000 As part of a deliberate attempt to push down birth rates among minorities in Xinjiang.

00:59:40.000 That's the level of depravity going on in China. 1.00

00:59:43.000 So it is kind of worrying that, you know, you have the Biden transition team, which includes people who have been favorable and defensive of China, and now they're trying to shift all the focus onto Russia.

00:59:53.000 I get it.

00:59:54.000 Russia's, you know, we're adversaries in a manner of speaking, but they're nowhere near as big a threat as, say, China is.

01:00:00.000 That's kind of being ignored.

01:00:02.000 Yeah, it'll be interesting because the real threat comes when China and Russia decide that they're going to unite and then you have a real problem. 0.62

01:00:14.000 I mean, we have the safety of Having borders that there's no large army that can come across.

01:00:22.000 Well, those Canadians, man, you gotta watch out! 1.00

01:00:25.000 Well, they started working with the Chinese military and doing drills very near the US border.

01:00:31.000 But China and Russia have already joined in quasi-partnerships economically.

01:00:36.000 Also financially with trade and also militarily by doing many military exercises together.

01:00:40.000 Geopolitically they're usually on the same side when it comes to Iran, Syria and they kind of have a weird relationship where historically they were at odds with each other and it's still kind of tense but they do have a mutual common enemy and that of course is the United States.

01:00:55.000 So if there would be a conflict with one there would be a conflict most likely with another in one way or another with either support Or actual even bigger presence of a bigger alliance together.

01:01:08.000 Absolutely.

01:01:09.000 We're powerful enough that we can defend ourselves right, say today, right now.

01:01:14.000 But all of these internal struggles is what's going to bring others.

01:01:18.000 And we get to that point.

01:01:21.000 Look, I was bullish three years ago, I'm bullish now.

01:01:31.000 It was years ago I was watching the political tensions escalate between Antifa and groups like the Proud Boys, and I was talking about my fear of a coming civil war.

01:01:41.000 And I guess what a lot of people didn't realize is that my experience is coming from Occupy Wall Street.

01:01:45.000 I watched hundreds of thousands of people.

01:01:48.000 I traveled all over the country during Occupy, and I saw the anger people had, and it wasn't going away.

01:01:52.000 It was escalating.

01:01:54.000 The protests died down a little bit, but I could go around anywhere, talk to somebody, and they'd tell me the exact same things they were mad about.

01:01:59.000 I watched the tactics of these black-block, far-leftist-type smashing windows, and getting crazier and more destructive as time went on. 0.93

01:02:07.000 And eventually got to the point where, you know, they were in larger and larger groups.

01:02:13.000 They got a new colloquial term, Antifa.

01:02:16.000 They didn't have that back during Occupy Wall Street.

01:02:17.000 We just called it the Black Bloc, you know, left or anarchists because there was no discernible group.

01:02:23.000 Now they fly a flag.

01:02:24.000 Now they share similar ideologies.

01:02:26.000 Then they started going up to Trump rallies.

01:02:29.000 And I saw what was going on with Trump.

01:02:31.000 Trump supporters were fed up.

01:02:32.000 They were angry.

01:02:33.000 The divide was getting crazier.

01:02:36.000 And years ago, I said that, you know, look, I'm reading these stories that are predicting this stuff.

01:02:40.000 Based on what I've seen on the ground over the past decade, it feels like it's happening.

01:02:44.000 Then we get to the point where, you know, you have Charlottesville.

01:02:47.000 And I'm like, dude, I'm telling you, man, this stuff's getting crazy.

01:02:50.000 I feel like you're going to get a tit for tat after that.

01:02:53.000 Then the media lies about what Trump said following the Charlottesville, you know, the Verifying People hoax, that he didn't condemn them.

01:02:59.000 He did.

01:03:00.000 And that you should look it up.

01:03:01.000 You should read what he actually said.

01:03:02.000 You'll be surprised if you didn't know that already.

01:03:02.000 Watch the video.

01:03:04.000 But then you end up with years of this, of right-wing groups, left-wing groups fighting, and it culminates in a series of, you know, major shootings, deaths.

01:03:15.000 We get, um, Aaron Danielson was his name, in Portland.

01:03:18.000 He's walking down the street.

01:03:20.000 Some guy yells, puts two bullets in his chest. 0.97

01:03:22.000 This guy is then, he flees the scene, the feds find him, they kill him.

01:03:26.000 We're at the point where a random shooting occurs, where a guy is killed for being a Trump supporter.

01:03:31.000 We got one right here! 1.00

01:03:33.000 Yeah, shoot him. 1.00

01:03:34.000 Boom, dead. 1.00

01:03:35.000 And I was saying, you see what's going on?

01:03:37.000 A year of riots, buildings being smashed.

01:03:40.000 We had in Oregon, I believe it was the Attorney General of Oregon, the AG, suing the federal government, challenging their authority to defend their own jurisdiction.

01:03:51.000 It was the craziest thing to me to see Oregon's politicians telling the federal government they had no authority to stop people from firebombing their building.

01:04:00.000 And I said at that point, I was like, is this where we start seeing the states challenge federal authority?

01:04:04.000 Then we heard from the Boston Globe that Never Trump or Republicans and Democrats staged a war game where John Podesta, top Democrat, Hillary Clinton type guy, you know, in her circle, actually said it would be better for the West Coast to secede from the union than allow Trump to win.

01:04:23.000 And then Trump didn't win.

01:04:24.000 And what do we get?

01:04:26.000 The Capitol gets stormed by Trump supporters.

01:04:28.000 I'm not going to pretend like it's the most egregious, you know, like armed groups were like marching on D.C.

01:04:33.000 They're trying to compare to the War of 1812, like the British soldiers storming in.

01:04:36.000 Come on, calm down.

01:04:38.000 But it still is one of the most dramatic escalations we've seen in this.

01:04:41.000 And if I was reading this stuff years ago thinking this was going to happen and we're here now, I'm surprised there are still people who think nothing is going to happen from this.

01:04:47.000 The media is going nuts smearing Trump supporters.

01:04:51.000 They're not going to just sit back and say, OK, I guess we're evil.

01:04:54.000 Well, so the question now comes to, will there be someone to fill that void?

01:05:04.000 Um, because I think part of the problem was, I mean, there did tend to see, be a certain, uh, looking to the person more than to the ideal that you stand for.

01:05:17.000 And, uh, I mean, it's understandable if that's the only person you feel is speaking for you.

01:05:24.000 So now where where does it pivot?

01:05:27.000 You know as you were looking at the second impeachment which probably the goal is so that he can't run again, right?

01:05:33.000 So you squash that and then you know all the talk that you've we've been reading about reprogramming and you know the truth and reconciliation commissions, right?

01:05:46.000 So you You see that there's trying to be a breakup, right, of what is most feared from their angle.

01:05:57.000 And that'll be interesting to see where that void is filled and who that person is or that group is before anything can really, again, get that traction to do something that is going to take this past a tipping point.

01:06:17.000 CNN.

01:06:17.000 They're pushing more censorship.

01:06:19.000 We've had, I think it was MSNBC host saying people should be banned.

01:06:22.000 I don't know if it was MSNBC.

01:06:24.000 I think it was...

01:06:25.000 CNN.

01:06:25.000 They were saying ban Facebook outright.

01:06:27.000 I think it was MSNBC.

01:06:28.000 Oh, I didn't see that.

01:06:29.000 They were like...

01:06:29.000 I think it was Scarborough saying you provide nothing.

01:06:31.000 I could be getting it wrong, so forgive me if I'm picking the wrong person.

01:06:33.000 They might as well create a bill saying that the internet is only for the establishment left.

01:06:39.000 No one else could talk.

01:06:40.000 No one else could say anything.

01:06:41.000 Only you if you have the special regurgitation powers of the establishment.

01:06:45.000 You get special privileges just like in China.

01:06:47.000 You have a social credit score.

01:06:49.000 You could access certain things in society if you're a good little establishment slave.

01:06:54.000 I was going to use a naughty word there.

01:06:56.000 I can't, but I'm controlling myself now.

01:06:58.000 I'm on Twitter right now.

01:06:59.000 I'm retweeting a whole bunch of crazy stuff on LukeWeAreChange about the insidious love of power happening right now with the establishment grawling all over Joe Biden.

01:07:10.000 We have CNN literally just moments ago saying that the side lights on the National Mall's reflecting pool are like the extension of Joe Biden's arms embracing America.

01:07:21.000 CNN News right now saying that, specifically David Callen of CNN.

01:07:27.000 And then, of course, we have Lauren Wolfey, who's at the New York Times.

01:07:30.000 The New York Times made a statement saying that they're going to be critiquing this presidency just like they did the other one.

01:07:35.000 That's their public kind of word.

01:07:37.000 And then Lauren Wolfey says, Biden landing at Joint Base Andrew now, I have chills.

01:07:44.000 With a photo of, of course, the airplane coming in.

01:07:46.000 This is just a creepy level.

01:07:48.000 So here's what people need to understand.

01:07:51.000 The government is power.

01:07:52.000 It's all confidence.

01:07:54.000 If you have half the country not believing in the power or the legitimacy of the government, then they won't have that power to exert.

01:08:02.000 And that's probably why they're doing the screenings on these soldiers.

01:08:05.000 Look, we heard from the Oath Keepers, from Stuart Rhodes.

01:08:08.000 He said that half the country will not view anything out of Biden's mouth as legitimate.

01:08:12.000 What happens when soldiers are feeling that way?

01:08:14.000 Well, this is why they're flexing.

01:08:15.000 This is why I think they have over 25,000 National Guardsmen showing them, look at us.

01:08:21.000 We're the authority.

01:08:22.000 We are strong.

01:08:23.000 We are powerful.

01:08:24.000 I think this is why the mainstream media is in overdrive right now, 24-7 nonstop saying, Biden's the best.

01:08:30.000 He's beautiful.

01:08:30.000 He's glorious.

01:08:31.000 He's going to save us.

01:08:32.000 He's going to do everything for us.

01:08:34.000 As of course, we all know he's barely there.

01:08:36.000 He represents the special interest lobbyist more than even Barack Obama wanted to be represented in the US government.

01:08:43.000 This is going to be not just a back to the new normal.

01:08:47.000 This is a back towards pushing towards a state that is truly at a very dangerous point moving forward from here.

01:08:56.000 What's the old stereotype of the bar fight?

01:08:59.000 You got some loud, boisterous, arrogant dude pushing people around saying, yeah, I can do whatever I want.

01:09:04.000 And there's some quiet guy minding his own business, just sipping his drink.

01:09:08.000 And then the guy comes up, he's like, come on, buddy.

01:09:10.000 What are you looking at?

01:09:11.000 And he's like, dude, just leave me alone.

01:09:12.000 I don't want to get into it.

01:09:13.000 And it's a stereotype of the quiet guy being the actual tough guy.

01:09:17.000 He doesn't want to fight.

01:09:18.000 He wants to be left alone.

01:09:19.000 Let me have my drink.

01:09:20.000 You do not want to fight.

01:09:21.000 You will regret it.

01:09:22.000 And the guy talking all the smack is the one who gets smacked down.

01:09:25.000 So if they're coming out flexing as hard as possible, it seems like a facade.

01:09:29.000 Like they're actually, the actions they're taking scare me because they have no confidence.

01:09:35.000 The fact that they would vet our soldiers, the fact that Chris Cuomo on CNN would say, we can't trust our military.

01:09:40.000 I'm like, geez, dude, they're scared.

01:09:43.000 Issuing that letter.

01:09:44.000 You see that letter that got released?

01:09:45.000 It was a, who was joint chiefs issued a letter saying Biden won, Trump is not the president, do not support him or else.

01:09:55.000 Then we got all of the living former secretaries of defense published an op-ed in the Washington Post saying anyone who supports Trump to keep him in the presidency will be prosecuted

01:10:06.000 the fact that they have to put out these messages send out twenty five thousand troops vet them

01:10:11.000 they are terrified that they have lost control and they have lost confidence

01:10:15.000 of enough of this country that it's going to create real instability and they

01:10:19.000 don't have the power anymore they have everything to prove and nothing backing it

01:10:23.000 And this is why it's such a scary time because they could be going for broke and doing unspeakable things.

01:10:29.000 And just like we mentioned before starting the show, and this is kind of the theme that we've been talking about in general, usually the people who call for combat violence are usually the ones who have never experienced it.

01:10:40.000 You experienced it.

01:10:41.000 You know what it's like.

01:10:43.000 Is there anything you want to say to some of these kind of radicalized voices about, you know, what you see in a war zone and the bigger kind of potential dangers here?

01:10:52.000 Yeah, well, so you have the, right, the Xbox player who gets this false sense of reality, like they understand combat, and they understand tactics, and they know all that with a controller, and I think it gives sort of this false bravado and maybe a false sense of they actually think they know what they're doing, but, I mean, I doubt they've seen charred bodies and people blown in half from an RPG and someone they know with a bullet in their head.

01:11:33.000 Those things change you.

01:11:36.000 Those things never leave you.

01:11:40.000 and while in a war situation it's something you have to do it should not be anything you're looking to do because you have no idea you can put you can turn that television off and you can put that xbox controller down uh but you witness and or take part in that violence you won't sleep right Movies, online videos, they do not convey the true experience of seeing mangled bodies.

01:12:17.000 And one of the most... I think a lot of people will not understand it unless they ever experience it.

01:12:23.000 They think they might.

01:12:24.000 They think they... Oh, I've seen videos online.

01:12:26.000 I've seen... Nah, man.

01:12:27.000 I've seen videos online.

01:12:28.000 And I've also seen people, a guy laying on the ground with his lower legs were roast beef as he was looking at his mangled meat and his hands were just not functioning and he's trying to move it.

01:12:42.000 The feeling you get when you see that level of destruction of a human body is something you will not experience in a movie, in a video game.

01:12:49.000 Well, it is now clinically proven that someone with PTSD, that your brain is actually rewired.

01:12:56.000 Yeah.

01:12:57.000 It happened.

01:12:58.000 It's physically happens to your brain.

01:13:01.000 I can't even... It's crazy.

01:13:05.000 I want, desperately, to convey the emotion I felt when I saw a dude whose legs were gone.

01:13:11.000 And he was looking at them, trying to get up, and I'm like, dude, you can't get up.

01:13:16.000 But people who, like these lefties who go and play LARP, and these Antifa people throwing fireworks and stuff.

01:13:23.000 Man, they don't get it.

01:13:25.000 There was a video out of Portland, and it was funny, and it was sad, but it also made me angry, where a dude got an abrasion from one of those expanding foam rounds, and so they put a tourniquet on his leg.

01:13:38.000 Oh, I remember that.

01:13:39.000 They put a tourniquet on his leg because he had an abrasion with some bleeding, and he was like, I don't want to lose my leg, and they're like, we gotta stop the bleeding, man.

01:13:46.000 I'm like, These people, if it ever truly came to the conflict they've been calling for, will cry so hard begging for their Xbox days back just to go back and have that Papa John's stuffed crust with the garlic dip and sauce just one more time.

01:14:03.000 They also don't understand what it's like to not have resources and to eat garbage and just... Man, they've not seen real struggle.

01:14:11.000 They've not left this country, many of them. 0.99

01:14:14.000 Again, I always go back to that perspective, that pinpointed perspective.

01:14:19.000 When you have nothing else to rely on outside of what you've seen in a movie, on television, you can understand to a point.

01:14:30.000 I mean, I oddly enough feel some empathy just because I understand the cluelessness that comes from a lack of perspective.

01:14:42.000 And we also forget how privileged we are, how amazingly lucky we are to live in a Western world, to have the internet, to have everything at our fingertips.

01:14:52.000 Even though we're going through a very tough economic turmoil, we still have it way better than the majority of the world.

01:14:59.000 And traveling the world and covering some conflict, there were some events and things that I've personally seen in my life that I just blacked out.

01:15:06.000 I know I've been there, but I don't even want to go there.

01:15:09.000 I don't even want to think about it.

01:15:10.000 And this is why I've been always pushing, hey, let's try to resolve this.

01:15:14.000 Calm down.

01:15:15.000 Take a step back.

01:15:16.000 And it's very funny because, you know, the voices, your voice, my voice, a lot of other independent media voices that are trying to bring reason to this insanity, that are trying to calm things down, those are usually the first ones that get the nail, that get the hammer hit on them directly by big tech censorship that is trying to silence individuals from even expressing these resolution voices.

01:15:38.000 You know why?

01:15:39.000 I don't agree with that.

01:15:40.000 or who are invested in the conflict can't have people begging, you know, everyone to

01:15:45.000 stop fighting.

01:15:46.000 I don't agree with that.

01:15:47.000 I think the people calming them down are fine.

01:15:48.000 No, no, no.

01:15:49.000 What I'm saying is there are people on the left who want to fight and in order to justify

01:15:54.000 their fight, they need the people to fight them.

01:15:56.000 So if we come out and we say, stop, stop doing this, like Brett Weinstein's unity party,

01:16:01.000 Right.

01:16:02.000 If you challenge them and tell them to stop, they're going to come after you.

01:16:06.000 But if you're truly trying to calm people down, you're not telling anyone to stop.

01:16:09.000 You're creating something new.

01:16:11.000 What do you mean?

01:16:11.000 You're making a better place for everyone to go.

01:16:14.000 Telling people to stop focusing on the conflict and the chaos.

01:16:18.000 It's different than telling them to start focusing on growth.

01:16:21.000 And that's what we do. Well, telling someone to stop is different than telling someone to do

01:16:25.000 something else. Brett Weinstein didn't tell people to stop.

01:16:27.000 He said, let's bring people together and find where we agree and do good things. I don't know. I can't

01:16:32.000 speak for that. They banned him.

01:16:34.000 They banned him. When you look, there is a tactic among left-wing activists and

01:16:40.000 And I'm not saying this because I'm trying to drag the left again.

01:16:42.000 It's because the right is not organized in this capacity when it comes to protests.

01:16:45.000 They're not organized.

01:16:46.000 That's why all these people stormed the Capitol weren't wearing masks.

01:16:48.000 They had no idea what they were doing.

01:16:50.000 And that's why they're going to go to prison.

01:16:51.000 It's why when the Proud Boys got into a fight with Antifa in New York City, Antifa told the cops, F you, and ran away, even though they were supposedly the victims.

01:17:00.000 And the Proud Boys said, we'll tell you everything, officer.

01:17:02.000 And guess who went to prison?

01:17:03.000 The Proud Boys.

01:17:04.000 The cops said, we would have arrested Antifa.

01:17:06.000 We don't know who they are or where they went.

01:17:07.000 Because they have strategy, they have organization, and they know how these tactics work.

01:17:11.000 One of their tactics is to purposefully get someone falsely arrested.

01:17:16.000 They want a regular person walking down the street to be thrown to the ground and beaten by a cop.

01:17:22.000 So what they'll do is, they go to protests of normie, you know, college student kids.

01:17:27.000 They go, they'll crouch down, and they'll chuck a rock at a cop.

01:17:30.000 Then the cop will grab some 22-year-old woman, throw her to the ground, and she'll be freaking out, why is this happening? 0.91

01:17:35.000 I didn't do anything wrong.

01:17:37.000 Then once she gets out, because they bailed her out, they supported her, they'll say, don't you see how evil these cops are?

01:17:42.000 You should join our group. 0.97

01:17:44.000 Shave the side of your head.

01:17:45.000 Put on this black hoodie.

01:17:47.000 We're the ones who saved you.

01:17:48.000 It is a common tactic they use.

01:17:50.000 Get people to be the victims.

01:17:52.000 They want right-wing individuals like the Proud Boys to show up and fight them. 1.00

01:17:56.000 That's why I say it's a stupid thing to do and they shouldn't do it. 0.97

01:17:58.000 They want it so they can film it, take it out of context, and then show regular people, see? 0.99

01:18:03.000 They're the bad guys.

01:18:04.000 Join us.

01:18:04.000 We'll keep you safe.

01:18:06.000 When the Proud Boys announce they're going to go march around with their American flags and their Gadsden flags, what do we hear from the left? 0.89

01:18:11.000 White supremacists are coming to target minorities in racist attacks.

01:18:15.000 An extreme version of having nothing to do with reality.

01:18:21.000 That's the propaganda technique.

01:18:23.000 So they need the conflict.

01:18:25.000 So if we're going to come out and say, y'all, you don't want to fight.

01:18:28.000 It's bad.

01:18:29.000 You don't understand how bad it's going to get.

01:18:30.000 They're like, no, no, no.

01:18:30.000 Stop them.

01:18:31.000 Stop them.

01:18:32.000 They're actually trying to get people to calm down.

01:18:34.000 That's bad for us.

01:18:34.000 Well, it's how, listen to my point.

01:18:37.000 Telling someone to stop fighting is different than doing something different that they can focus on instead of fighting.

01:18:45.000 And if you're telling them to stop, you will draw the aggro of the elite of the people with money.

01:18:50.000 They don't want to hear you telling people to stop.

01:18:52.000 They want to see you do something new, like write a song or build a new technology that people can use.

01:18:59.000 I think ultimately anything that threatens their, you know, their radicalization engine or their tribe or their moral authority and justification.

01:19:07.000 Anything that threatens the flow is at risk.

01:19:10.000 The agenda, the narrative, they'll find a way to hit it.

01:19:12.000 I mean, if you look at the YouTube purge, a lot of it first was independent media.

01:19:17.000 Independent media was screaming about child abusers, radical Islamists, other kind of crazy people and individuals exploiting, whether it was puppies or little children on the platform, they were still allowed to have a voice.

01:19:29.000 The first crackdown?

01:19:30.000 The first crackdown came on independent media, came on regular mom-and-pop small shops of individuals saying, I want to be a YouTuber, I want to share the news from a perspective that's not from a corporate special interest.

01:19:42.000 And the first censorship was on dudes that were screaming at George Bush saying that he was a child effer and a goat effer.

01:19:51.000 It was that that guy, Philip Warren.

01:19:54.000 He was the first Internet censored guy, and he was probably censored in the right because he was aggro as F. 0.76

01:20:05.000 Independent media is a very vague term.

01:20:07.000 You can be aggro independent media, you can be creative independent media.

01:20:12.000 I think aggro stuff tends to get banned, though.

01:20:15.000 It really is a bias against the right.

01:20:17.000 And I think it's hilarious that it's obvious if you take an objective view on what's going on.

01:20:23.000 Look at Parler.

01:20:24.000 Just totally wiped out.

01:20:26.000 It's gone.

01:20:27.000 It's obvious.

01:20:28.000 You know, you look at the channels that are allowed to be on YouTube, they get promoted.

01:20:32.000 Establishment channels, of course, are protected.

01:20:34.000 But then you look at left-wing channels where they're talking about Russia and supporting these unhinged theories, and there's been no reconciliation, there's been no justice, there's been no fairness in any of the policies put forth by these platforms.

01:20:50.000 It's like I was saying yesterday, Jack Dorsey is in a far-left bubble he can't see out of.

01:20:55.000 To him, all of these things are normal.

01:20:58.000 So when he sees a regular working-class, you know, 45-year-old guy tweet something about learning to code, he goes, an extremist!

01:21:05.000 Delete!

01:21:06.000 Not realizing most Americans have no idea what you're talking about, but they're getting nuked.

01:21:11.000 These platforms are controlled by, you know, one of a large portion, for the most part, of these ideological tribes.

01:21:18.000 YouTube seems to be... This is surprising.

01:21:21.000 It's bad.

01:21:22.000 There's a lot of problems with YouTube and censorship.

01:21:24.000 Way better than Twitch, for instance.

01:21:26.000 Twitch will ban you in two seconds for giving a conservative opinion because their user base is too left.

01:21:31.000 And then you have Twitter, which is very left.

01:21:33.000 Facebook, which... This is interesting.

01:21:37.000 I used to upload my videos to Facebook.

01:21:40.000 And I stopped last week when they restricted my page for covering what happened at the Capitol.

01:21:45.000 That's it.

01:21:46.000 And people were... I had people even commenting, saying, all I did was say, here's what's happening.

01:21:50.000 Here's a tweet.

01:21:51.000 Here's what's happening.

01:21:52.000 Here's the response.

01:21:53.000 Gone.

01:21:54.000 Yeah.

01:21:55.000 I have a Telegram page with 5,000 subscribers and then I have a Facebook page with 600,000 subscribers that was like that for a number of years now.

01:22:04.000 I get more web traffic and reach through the 5,000 group on Telegram than the 600,000 group on Facebook.

01:22:11.000 That's why we're telling everybody to go to TimCast.com and become a member because I fully expect, look, my Facebook page, it's over.

01:22:18.000 Now, I can still post to it, but there's no point.

01:22:21.000 The posts are all restricted.

01:22:23.000 They've stripped me from monetization, which I wasn't really getting in the first place.

01:22:26.000 I didn't care all that much when it happened.

01:22:28.000 But it shows you the cliffs are once again eroding.

01:22:30.000 It's only a matter of time before they come and say, oh, you're telling people to calm down.

01:22:35.000 Look, we'll get to a point where they'll say their fight is righteous.

01:22:39.000 And, you know, defending these people means you're either with us or against us.

01:22:42.000 And so by defending people, by saying don't fight, you're defending them.

01:22:46.000 Therefore, you're banned.

01:22:47.000 We'll get to that point.

01:22:48.000 It'll happen.

01:22:49.000 And I don't know when, but I imagine it'll happen soon.

01:22:51.000 The first thing they're trying to do is get rid of as many voices as possible, because they only want approved channels.

01:22:58.000 YouTube's wanted to be Netflix for a long time.

01:23:00.000 They don't like the idea that anybody can start a channel and just share things.

01:23:02.000 They don't like the you in YouTube.

01:23:04.000 But they want to maintain the user base, which they have, so that's where we're headed.

01:23:08.000 So yes, go to TimGast.com, become a member if you want to help protect us in the event that they nuke the platform.

01:23:16.000 It's possible.

01:23:18.000 And we're trying really hard to get like a core dedicated user base to subscribe and then we'll put up more and more, you know, member-only content and stuff like that.

01:23:25.000 But I really do hope things get chilled out.

01:23:29.000 Steve, you were mentioning that you guys don't use social media.

01:23:32.000 Is there a reason?

01:23:34.000 Yeah, well, as an organization, again, we have no axe to grind.

01:23:40.000 There's no benefit for us in that manner.

01:23:47.000 People who come to us already have the mindset that matters.

01:23:53.000 is to have a mindset to be prepared.

01:23:55.000 And that mindset is more important than commenting on all these things that are just going to come and go on social media.

01:24:09.000 What, um, you mentioned your organization, like, what's the organization like of the organization?

01:24:13.000 Top down?

01:24:15.000 So, Drew Miller is the CEO.

01:24:19.000 I am the COO.

01:24:21.000 Then each of the ranches have ranch managers and assistant ranch managers.

01:24:27.000 We are veteran owned and operated, so we only hire former vets or former law enforcement.

01:24:34.000 We actually have two openings.

01:24:37.000 We're in need of a ranch manager out for the Colorado branch.

01:24:42.000 And I'm in need of an assistant ranch manager out in West Virginia because we keep moving staff around as we expand.

01:24:48.000 So you have the manager, the assistant manager, and then how many people potentially would have like spots at a ranch? 0.59

01:24:55.000 So we don't give out exact numbers for security reasons, but each ranch, you know, will round out around 100 until we would expand more.

01:25:04.000 But we try not to, we don't want to expand, make any one ranch too large.

01:25:09.000 We're looking for 12 across the country so that nobody has to drive too far in case of an instant event.

01:25:16.000 And that's because it helps to keep it small for like one manager and assistant to take care of any potential conflict or struggle that would arise.

01:25:24.000 Right.

01:25:24.000 So just the idea, you just keep building more staff and staff and staff to be able to do this properly.

01:25:30.000 And then you need more resources, more resources, more resources.

01:25:35.000 So there's a there's an equation there that we look at as what would be best fit for that location.

01:25:42.000 And then we spread that out.

01:25:44.000 What do the manager and the assistant manager do?

01:25:47.000 So, well, there's so much maintenance, expansion.

01:25:53.000 You know, I don't do any of the sales or anything along that lines.

01:25:58.000 We have a sales crew.

01:26:01.000 But I do do the tours and I do the vetting of prospective members.

01:26:05.000 And then when members come out to use their free days, then I'm available to them to do training to help them.

01:26:14.000 What kind of training?

01:26:17.000 A lot of the time it's with firearms because we have to make sure that we won't allow anybody to pull guard duty in a crisis or a collapse situation unless they've been approved.

01:26:28.000 That assistant manager position looks pretty tempting.

01:26:32.000 I should talk to you about potentially filling in that need after the show.

01:26:37.000 Everybody else stay away.

01:26:38.000 That's my job.

01:26:40.000 In the event of, let's say there's a national crisis and it deeply affects the economy and people's ability to survive.

01:26:48.000 So they all come in.

01:26:49.000 How does that structure work?

01:26:50.000 I mean, are you guys the boss?

01:26:52.000 Will you tell people?

01:26:53.000 Yes.

01:26:53.000 So they have a membership agreement that they read and sign, which informs them of the standard operating procedures to a certain degree.

01:27:06.000 But the main point is we are in charge.

01:27:09.000 So let's say food is in short supply, but you guys have, you're stocked up for a very, very long time.

01:27:15.000 Well, the key to sustainability is not having a warehouse full of food, but having your own ecosystem.

01:27:22.000 So we have cattle, goats, chickens.

01:27:24.000 We have not only our 114 acres to hunt on, but we have the national forest that abuts us, which is another 1,800 acres to hunt deer, bear, turkey, grouse, and we have stream right across the road.

01:27:41.000 We have really good fishing in West Virginia.

01:27:45.000 There's only one natural sand beach and we're not located too far from there.

01:27:49.000 It's a stockpile.

01:27:50.000 Well, so what happens if there's a total collapse?

01:27:53.000 People can't pay their membership anymore, right?

01:27:55.000 Right.

01:27:55.000 So now it's just what?

01:27:56.000 Start working?

01:27:57.000 Start farming?

01:27:58.000 Start hunting?

01:27:58.000 There's going to be plenty to do.

01:28:00.000 Actually, there'll be a lot to do initially, and people tend to be out of shape these days.

01:28:05.000 They'll get ripped real quick.

01:28:08.000 Yeah, I don't know how much work I'll get out of them right in the beginning.

01:28:11.000 Do you have horses?

01:28:12.000 Really quick, sorry.

01:28:13.000 Uh, we do not on property, but we do have horses.

01:28:16.000 I'd imagine that the kind of people you'd attract would, they understand that if, you know, if it hits the fan, they're going to start working harder than they've worked probably in the past.

01:28:24.000 I have, I look them in the eye and I explain what the situation is.

01:28:30.000 In order for this to work, everybody has to pull their own weight.

01:28:33.000 I gotta ask you this question.

01:28:34.000 The audience has probably heard me talk about this before, but during Occupy Wall Street, farmland was donated to the activists.

01:28:42.000 I knew several activists who said that they didn't want to live in these cities and they wanted to go live on the farm and be sustainable.

01:28:50.000 How long do you think they lasted after they went to that farm?

01:28:53.000 No idea.

01:28:54.000 Wild guess how long do you think they were there before they said, you know a month two weeks two weeks and You know the people who came back My friends were like I would wake up at 6 a.m And work until midnight and go to bed and wake up at 6 a.m.

01:29:09.000 And work at those not non-stop No chance to read no TV.

01:29:12.000 Nothing.

01:29:12.000 It was literally just tending to the animals.

01:29:14.000 It was farming It was endless work and I'm like, yeah That's called living sustainably.

01:29:19.000 Absolutely.

01:29:19.000 You want to live in luxury in these cities?

01:29:21.000 Sure.

01:29:22.000 It's not so easy when you're responsible for everything.

01:29:24.000 Right.

01:29:25.000 And there's not only, you know, so we have, you know, hundreds of thousands of seeds to be able to grow each season.

01:29:34.000 And then as you do that gardening, then you also dry the seeds of the those things that you had raised.

01:29:40.000 And so you just have a continual cycle.

01:29:43.000 We don't have to worry about relying on electricity.

01:29:47.000 Everything is on grid but we have solar on each of the ranches that would kick on automatically if we ever lose energy.

01:29:58.000 And then the main fuel when you look to prepare for the worst is you need plenty of wood because that's going to be your fuel for heating.

01:30:08.000 Every single Building has a wood stove and it's flat top so that you can cook on it.

01:30:15.000 You have to think these things through in order for this to work.

01:30:19.000 Now, here's the tough question you might not be able to answer.

01:30:23.000 Let's say the collapse happens and all your members come in.

01:30:27.000 But then you see one day, you know, you guys are working, you're tending to your animals, a couple families.

01:30:34.000 Look, really, really hungry and desperate come up and they say, you have to let us in.

01:30:39.000 Do you let them in?

01:30:40.000 No.

01:30:40.000 No?

01:30:41.000 I don't let my kids in.

01:30:43.000 They're not members.

01:30:44.000 Only members?

01:30:45.000 Only.

01:30:45.000 What do you do when a group of people come and they're yelling, we're gonna die, you have to let us in?

01:30:52.000 What happens if they try and run in?

01:30:54.000 What happens if they have weapons?

01:30:56.000 Well, we have more, but... There's your answer!

01:31:01.000 No, and I'm joking.

01:31:03.000 It depends on the circumstances.

01:31:09.000 Safety would be a priority for those who are members.

01:31:13.000 Now, under a crisis situation, you could approach the ranch, but you'll meet the initial guard post, and our members have to get out and identify themselves, and those are the only people that are on the list are allowed in.

01:31:29.000 Now, depending on the circumstances, as things go and we have an abundance of food, there is an epidemic.

01:31:36.000 I don't want to sound heartless and cruel, but that is the rule.

01:31:42.000 I mean, I literally, when I took the position, told my kids, hey, you know, either sign up or don't come.

01:31:50.000 Me and Tim have screaming arguments about a strategy here that maybe you could help us settle.

01:31:56.000 Because I know an amazing community with Special Forces, Green Berets, Preppers, Homeschoolers up in New Hampshire, and I saw a plot of property open up.

01:32:04.000 I'm like, Tim, maybe this is something you should look at.

01:32:07.000 He's like, hell no, I'd rather go to the middle of Montana.

01:32:11.000 I said West Virginia, what are you talking about?

01:32:13.000 Well, West Virginia, but also you made a statement about going in the middle of Montana, and I'm like, you would look like a fixer.

01:32:19.000 I said a straw man argument.

01:32:21.000 The argument is West Virginia or New Hampshire.

01:32:22.000 See, here we go, we get very tense when we argue about this.

01:32:24.000 West Virginia or New Hampshire.

01:32:26.000 Now I'll tell you right away.

01:32:27.000 He's already on my side.

01:32:28.000 He's in West Virginia.

01:32:30.000 Well, if you have a community of like-minded good people, would you rather be on your own and look like a filet mignon steak to a whole bunch of crazy hungry wolves in the wild and not knowing anyone in West Virginia?

01:32:44.000 Or would you rather be... Hold on, hold on.

01:32:47.000 Or would you rather have a good community of people?

01:32:49.000 Hold on, let me start over.

01:32:51.000 The actual question is, Is New Hampshire a better place than West Virginia when it comes to... It's not about the state.

01:32:58.000 It's all about location, location, location.

01:33:03.000 Wherever it may be, if it has a fresh source of water, if it has timberland all around it so that you can hunt, use the wood.

01:33:13.000 If it has the ability to have natural protection, then you could do it anywhere.

01:33:20.000 What do you mean natural protection?

01:33:22.000 So we're surrounded by mountain ranges all around us.

01:33:25.000 Same thing in Colorado.

01:33:26.000 Nevada's off.

01:33:27.000 And you're on the high ground.

01:33:29.000 And we're on the high ground.

01:33:30.000 Yeah, natural protection.

01:33:31.000 We protected from humans.

01:33:33.000 Well, not only but you do want it to be defensible.

01:33:36.000 Because coming over the ridges on all around us is virtually impossible.

01:33:41.000 Certain not in mass for sure.

01:33:43.000 So my position, you know, Luke is defending New Hampshire, but my issue is the Northeast population density is substantially higher than West Virginia.

01:33:54.000 Yes, which can be a risk.

01:33:56.000 But, you know, so for us as a model, we're actually located two hours outside of a major city is the only way that it works in order to, and again, but the location has to be right.

01:34:09.000 But part of the reason is there's no way, you know, part of our job is to help folks.

01:34:13.000 So we have to be in a place where they can get to.

01:34:16.000 You have to have a market for those who are going to be the most affected, and obviously it's the cities that are going to be most affected.

01:34:24.000 That's 100%.

01:34:25.000 That's where it starts.

01:34:27.000 That's where it bubbles over.

01:34:28.000 I mean, it all goes from there.

01:34:30.000 And the suburbs aren't much safer.

01:34:31.000 You still can't do much if you're in the suburbs.

01:34:33.000 Well, another important point, you don't want to be moving around when ish hits the fan, Family Friendly Show.

01:34:40.000 It hits the fan.

01:34:42.000 Yeah, I was talking to some people who live out in more rural areas.

01:34:47.000 They were telling me that when the COVID thing happened, nothing changed for them.

01:34:51.000 My life hasn't been affected one bit.

01:34:53.000 Not one bit.

01:34:54.000 I mean, other than me having a mask in my truck for when I go to the store or, you know, go pick up supplies at Home Depot for, you know, things that we're doing.

01:35:03.000 I don't know anyone who's caught it.

01:35:06.000 West Virginia was the last state to have the first ones to have any, and it's really not disrupted my life whatsoever.

01:35:16.000 Regarding crops, right now, are you guys growing crops?

01:35:20.000 Or is it only like we have seeds and we will start growing?

01:35:23.000 So we have five acres we use for hay to be able to feed the animal.

01:35:28.000 So in order for me not to just be a farmer right now before anything happens, we have 20 head of cattle on reserve.

01:35:35.000 There's nothing around us but chicken farms and cattle farms.

01:35:39.000 And so we have a deal with the local farmer.

01:35:42.000 He comes and he, in the spring, he, you know, spreads the manure, he cuts it, he bales it, he leaves me what I need for the animals that I have, and he takes the rest to augment.

01:35:51.000 Is he de facto part of the community?

01:35:54.000 Uh, no, he actually, he's pretty well set up where he is.

01:35:56.000 A lot of people in West Virginia are.

01:35:58.000 Yeah.

01:35:59.000 If something really bad happens, these cities, I think it was Drew Miller who said something, 72 hours to animal.

01:36:05.000 Yeah.

01:36:05.000 Oh, it, yeah.

01:36:06.000 When it ignites again, and that's why I'm saying when all those pieces are in place, when it does go up, it, it, that did the tapping.

01:36:15.000 I was warned people.

01:36:17.000 But, uh, when it happens, yes.

01:36:19.000 When all the right pieces are in place.

01:36:21.000 72 hours to animal.

01:36:22.000 What do you think is going to happen to New York City in three days?

01:36:26.000 Oh, they'll start eating each other. 0.89

01:36:27.000 Yeah.

01:36:28.000 Yeah, that kind of animal.

01:36:30.000 I see what you mean.

01:36:30.000 Yeah, I just had a couple come down last weekend from Manhattan.

01:36:34.000 They're running from New York.

01:36:37.000 They bought land in another state, but they joined because of my ranch.

01:36:45.000 You're also selling plots?

01:36:47.000 Yes, we actually have RV.

01:36:50.000 We expanded our RV.

01:36:53.000 I am looking for employment.

01:36:59.000 We're always looking on how best to serve folks and earlier there wasn't a large demand for the RVs but now there is after all that's been going on.

01:37:09.000 So I had an excavation crew in there and we've done a lot of excavation to expand the RV situation and we've already sold a couple three acre plots of land where people are going to build their own little log home or whatever they're going to build on the property but still be part of the community.

01:37:29.000 Wow.

01:37:30.000 A dome, maybe?

01:37:31.000 We've been looking at building domes.

01:37:32.000 You ever check out Geodesic Domes?

01:37:34.000 Oh, I have heard of them.

01:37:35.000 Well, so we're located right near the mountain.

01:37:38.000 I mean, we're literally, right?

01:37:39.000 We got ridges all around us.

01:37:41.000 So the most affordable way is you just dig in to and all that land that you're taking out of there to build your foundation you put up here to give you a level space where you build.

01:37:53.000 And so you can actually have your own, you know, small little bunker as you drive in.

01:37:58.000 You already have some hardened security and then you go up to your home and then you have a guard force all around.

01:38:03.000 Putting like shipping containers, burying shipping containers and using those.

01:38:06.000 Yeah.

01:38:07.000 Cool.

01:38:07.000 The domes I think is a fun idea because it's like cheap.

01:38:09.000 And they're super structurally sound.

01:38:11.000 Right.

01:38:12.000 And we could build it.

01:38:13.000 We don't need a professional architect.

01:38:15.000 It's just like literally holding down.

01:38:17.000 Yeah.

01:38:18.000 There's a reason.

01:38:18.000 Hippies could do them.

01:38:21.000 We are hippies.

01:38:23.000 We do all our own construction.

01:38:24.000 You know, we keep our costs down that way.

01:38:27.000 Right on.

01:38:27.000 Well, let's go to Super Chats, see what the... probably a lot of questions for you from the audience, so we'll go through them.

01:38:33.000 If you haven't already, smash the like button, subscribe, hit the notification bell, and become a member at TimCast.com, because we have a ton of fun bonus segments coming up.

01:38:40.000 Probably some gun stuff, I'd imagine, at some point, because, you know, Luke likes guns.

01:38:44.000 We should make a trip this weekend.

01:38:47.000 We'll talk about that after the show.

01:38:49.000 We'll make a video for the members.

01:38:51.000 So yeah, go to TimCast.com, but let's read the Super Chats.

01:38:54.000 Johnny Knoxville, who I don't think is the real Johnny Knoxville, would like us to know that he's naked.

01:38:59.000 Thank you for the super chat.

01:39:00.000 I appreciate you giving me two dollars to let us know that.

01:39:02.000 Thank you, sir.

01:39:02.000 Live free and prosper, sir.

01:39:04.000 That's right.

01:39:04.000 Jonathan Galterini says that Judge Preska in the, what is it, Ghislaine?

01:39:09.000 Ghislaine Maxwell case.

01:39:11.000 Hearing orders the unsealing of more documents, more documents to come.

01:39:14.000 That'll be interesting.

01:39:14.000 I'm keeping a very close eye on that situation.

01:39:17.000 C. Miller says, Leftovers from yesterday.

01:39:20.000 I also have a Smith & Wesson Victory.

01:39:22.000 A lot of .22 pistols get failure to eject because they have stiff recoil springs.

01:39:26.000 Use CCI high velocity in all .22 semi-autos.

01:39:29.000 Works like a charm.

01:39:30.000 That was a problem.

01:39:31.000 We were taking the Victory to the range, and it wasn't ejecting properly, so it was getting jammed.

01:39:36.000 It's annoying.

01:39:37.000 Probably lost a ton of good .22 that way.

01:39:40.000 Redacted says, me and the boys updating our Twitter bios to add resist, not my president, after tomorrow night.

01:39:47.000 The new resistance is here!

01:39:49.000 Yes!

01:39:50.000 Can we take back resistance?

01:39:51.000 Yes, you can.

01:39:52.000 Joe's Batali says, have any of you seen the anime FLCL?

01:39:55.000 Spoilers, it ends with a giant weapon used to iron out the wrinkles in your brain so you can't think.

01:40:00.000 Jeez.

01:40:01.000 Yeah, it's a great show.

01:40:02.000 It's only, I think, what, six episodes?

01:40:03.000 Or is it four episodes?

01:40:04.000 Six?

01:40:04.000 I think it's six.

01:40:05.000 Short, short. 0.94

01:40:06.000 Yeah, and then they tried doing a sequel, which was kind of just derivative, and I was just so dumb. 0.76

01:40:10.000 Dan N says, we're in Canada watching your country biting our fingernails. 0.82

01:40:15.000 You know what's fun about Canada?

01:40:16.000 Poutine.

01:40:17.000 Yeah.

01:40:18.000 Delicious.

01:40:18.000 Oh, and that fresh curd cheese.

01:40:22.000 But I went to a poutine restaurant and it's not just curds and gravy.

01:40:25.000 They had all different kinds.

01:40:27.000 It's amazing.

01:40:28.000 I used to work at a French Canadian restaurant.

01:40:30.000 So we ordered like three different kinds and I'm like, that's a lot of potato.

01:40:33.000 Yeah.

01:40:34.000 We're all Canucks up there in New Hampshire.

01:40:36.000 We love it.

01:40:37.000 Graham Wilson says, recently you've made a few statements on what you believe National Guardsmen reactions would be in regards to everything that is happening.

01:40:43.000 I'm a filmmaker and former National Guardsman of 12 years, and I'd love to help inform.

01:40:48.000 Hit me up.

01:40:48.000 Can I talk about this real fast?

01:40:49.000 Because I actually asked a couple of my sources.

01:40:51.000 I was like, what is the morale level there in DC?

01:40:54.000 And the response that I got was they're just confused.

01:40:57.000 They don't really know why they're there and they don't really know what's going on.

01:40:59.000 And I was like, yeah, that's consistent with what every single person... Did they get called up?

01:41:03.000 Like, were they on the reserve and they were just all stood down and they got called up?

01:41:07.000 I believe so.

01:41:08.000 I read it was from all 50 states as well.

01:41:11.000 We got one for Luke.

01:41:12.000 Bruce the Boss Brooks says, Luke, I'm waiting for that How Many Lick and Fraudulent Slip t-shirt.

01:41:19.000 Ah, yeah.

01:41:20.000 That's great ideas.

01:41:21.000 I've gotten like a hundred emails from people about alternatives.

01:41:25.000 Thank you guys so much.

01:41:27.000 So far, all the shirts are still on wearechange.org forward slash shirts, but if that changes, it's still going to be the same URL.

01:41:34.000 But I'm looking at changing and thank you.

01:41:36.000 Really great advice.

01:41:38.000 Let's see.

01:41:39.000 Cowie Ryder says, tell the truth.

01:41:41.000 He really works for Vault-Tec.

01:41:44.000 So you're familiar with Fallout?

01:41:45.000 I am.

01:41:47.000 I am.

01:41:47.000 So your facility, which experiment are you running on your... I'm just kidding.

01:41:51.000 Cryo-Freeze?

01:41:52.000 So for those that aren't familiar with the Fallout series, there was a bunch of vaults made by the Vault-Tec Corporation and the government, but they were actually running experiments on the people who were seeking shelter.

01:42:00.000 Some of them were.

01:42:01.000 Some vaults were specifically for experiments, actually.

01:42:04.000 Yeah, but I think there's only like one.

01:42:05.000 No, no, no.

01:42:06.000 There was, there was some that were legitimate shelters, but a lot of them were doing experiments.

01:42:10.000 There was a, I think it was Vault 69, was 99 men and one woman.

01:42:14.000 I think it was, or no, no.

01:42:15.000 Was that, was it 99 women and one man?

01:42:17.000 I don't know.

01:42:17.000 Probably that.

01:42:18.000 And then there was one where they used the forced evolutionary virus on people and turned them into mutants.

01:42:23.000 Fallout's a fun game.

01:42:23.000 Vaults are cool.

01:42:24.000 Do you guys build vaults?

01:42:25.000 Is that stuff you even talk about publicly, like your underground network?

01:42:29.000 Well, it's eight inches of reinforced concrete covered with steel plating, three foot of earth.

01:42:36.000 Wait, you actually have those?

01:42:37.000 Yeah.

01:42:37.000 Wow!

01:42:38.000 120-foot long, one of them.

01:42:40.000 Do you ever do, like, tours of them, or do you keep them?

01:42:42.000 Yeah.

01:42:43.000 Oh, that'd be cool.

01:42:44.000 We do.

01:42:45.000 Like, that you would post online?

01:42:46.000 No.

01:42:47.000 Oh, okay.

01:42:47.000 Top secret.

01:42:48.000 And the locations are secret, too, aren't they?

01:42:50.000 Wow, that's rad.

01:42:50.000 Mm-hmm.

01:42:51.000 Cool.

01:42:51.000 Cool stuff.

01:42:53.000 Let's see what we got here.

01:42:53.000 Daniel Maxwell says, If what is happening to the National Guard personnel right now does not set off warning alarms, then you need to take a very close look at what happened in Germany when Hitler took over, in Russia under Stalin, and in China under Mao, repeating history again.

01:43:08.000 You know, I think what happens is these people in power are scared they're losing the confidence of the people.

01:43:14.000 And that's all government is.

01:43:16.000 If people have no confidence in you, they're not going to listen.

01:43:19.000 I will say I like that phrase, repeating history again.

01:43:23.000 Well, they say history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes.

01:43:26.000 Alberto Rio says, I understand this is a little late, since this is more of a question that should have been asked on your last show.

01:43:33.000 Have any of these business owners looked into 18 U.S.C.

01:43:37.000 242 when fighting these unconstitutional orders from governors?

01:43:40.000 We'll have to ask them next time, I suppose.

01:43:44.000 Kaper2x says, when the saucers land on the mall, we will wish for more troops and forget what we do if they demand to cook and eat our leaders.

01:43:52.000 Wait, so that's why Trump is leaving early, lol.

01:43:55.000 Yes, the aliens are coming.

01:43:56.000 We didn't get to the CIA segment, but you know, whatever.

01:43:59.000 TheWolveshark says, y'all might be interested in contacting Gary Anderson for the show.

01:44:03.000 He is the cop that got fired from Portland for speaking against lockdowns a few months ago and started the podcast Endless Endeavor.

01:44:09.000 Oh, yeah.

01:44:10.000 Oh, that's cool.

01:44:10.000 I'm writing this down.

01:44:12.000 Um, you're gonna love this one.

01:44:14.000 Larry Goddard says, you're Heisenberg.

01:44:16.000 Have you heard that one before?

01:44:20.000 When I was in Belarus, I was Lenin. 0.65

01:44:21.000 I looked like Lenin.

01:44:25.000 Ian Hall says, ah, S, get your Tim Foyle hats here.

01:44:29.000 Released from the lab.

01:44:30.000 Look at patents.

01:44:32.000 Michael Dodson says, my girlfriend works in healthcare, and they received an email today telling them to be prepared for curfews and to pack go bags to last multiple days.

01:44:40.000 They're located well outside the DC Beltway.

01:44:43.000 Interesting.

01:44:45.000 Count Ludwig says, police state is here.

01:44:48.000 As a historian, I think that peaceful secession of liberty-minded states probably only way out of tyranny or civil war.

01:44:53.000 It can be done.

01:44:54.000 Norway seceded from Sweden peacefully in the early 1900s.

01:44:58.000 I didn't know that.

01:44:58.000 Really?

01:44:58.000 I thought it was two different countries.

01:45:01.000 Petty says, Tim, I will buy all of your 9x18.

01:45:03.000 There's nothing on shelves for my PMM down here.

01:45:06.000 No way!

01:45:07.000 Someone sent me an email for a Czechoslovakian gun, and I got it ordered.

01:45:10.000 So my previously useless Makarov 9mm will be fun.

01:45:14.000 Can you get more of that Makarov 9mm?

01:45:16.000 I don't think so.

01:45:19.000 I remember what happened, but I was not paying attention and I just bought a bunch.

01:45:22.000 And the dudes were cool about it.

01:45:24.000 They were like, we get it.

01:45:25.000 You probably made a mistake.

01:45:25.000 Most people don't realize this.

01:45:26.000 I was like, I'm keeping it.

01:45:27.000 Yeah, it's more valuable than the gun.

01:45:29.000 The ammo's harder to find than the weapon.

01:45:31.000 Dude, I'm seeing... It's barter for the future.

01:45:34.000 Yeah, well, that's why I like common calibers and common guns like Glocks because everyone has them.

01:45:39.000 There's a lot of them.

01:45:40.000 There's a lot of pieces, anything goes wrong, you'll be able to fix it, you'll be able to trade it.

01:45:45.000 And all the customizable parts are very cheap compared to the rarer guns.

01:45:50.000 Oh, that's interesting.

01:45:51.000 So, continuing from the comment about Norway, Count Ludwig says, and some of the nations in the USSR such as Estonia and Latvia gained their freedom in 1989 by literally holding hands and singing songs.

01:46:03.000 Just a few years ago, Scotland almost left the UK by voting.

01:46:07.000 Singing revolution in Estonia.

01:46:07.000 That's right.

01:46:09.000 I mean, honestly, I really do think we're at a point in history that if, say, Texas or California voted outright, overwhelmingly within their state to secede, the U.S.

01:46:19.000 would do nothing.

01:46:21.000 No way.

01:46:21.000 They'd be surrounded by federal troops.

01:46:24.000 They'd be invaded in every corner.

01:46:26.000 They'd have their power shut off.

01:46:28.000 The problem is Fort Hood, Texas, the largest military base in the free world.

01:46:36.000 San Diego, three divisions.

01:46:39.000 There's the naval base in San Diego.

01:46:41.000 They wouldn't let that go.

01:46:42.000 It's too.

01:46:43.000 What would they do?

01:46:44.000 San Francisco?

01:46:45.000 What would they invade it?

01:46:47.000 They would massacre the leadership and put new leadership in.

01:46:49.000 Then why is Scotland allowed to have these referendums?

01:46:52.000 Scotland's part of the British Empire.

01:46:54.000 They haven't left.

01:46:54.000 And if they tried, we probably would have saw conflict.

01:46:57.000 What do you mean?

01:46:58.000 They're voting on it.

01:46:59.000 They're talking about doing it now.

01:47:01.000 There's memes about Scotland wanting to leave the UK but join the EU.

01:47:04.000 Let's wait and see.

01:47:05.000 The US is the most militarized country in the world.

01:47:07.000 I cannot fathom them letting go of their resources right now.

01:47:11.000 Yeah, but I just think we're well beyond the point where people support that kind of action.

01:47:18.000 It was easy to do back in the day when no one knew about it.

01:47:20.000 Yeah, but do you support 25,000 troops in DC?

01:47:22.000 No.

01:47:23.000 Who does?

01:47:23.000 Exactly.

01:47:24.000 Yeah, but they're doing it anyway.

01:47:25.000 But it's causing problems.

01:47:26.000 Of course.

01:47:27.000 You see?

01:47:27.000 It's actually, people are talking about how it's showing them to be weak, and it's worrying.

01:47:32.000 There's a lack of confidence in what they're doing.

01:47:34.000 They're trying to make people think they're strong.

01:47:36.000 That's scary.

01:47:38.000 Smash that like button if you haven't already, and let's read some more Super Chats.

01:47:42.000 Alright, let's see what we got here.

01:47:45.000 control alt right says no you can't cnc a gun cheap or easy coming from a guy who knows interesting mad says hey tim a few weeks ago my uncle and i were talking about the proud boys 15 minutes later he asked if i was a proud boy joking jokingly i responded oh for sure then my headphones siri said i figured i threw my phone that's weird anthony picas says there is no issue with creating a gun with no serial number it just has to be serialized before you sell it to someone else Yeah, a bunch of people are saying this.

01:48:17.000 Ed Mazet says ghost guns are legal.

01:48:19.000 Also, you guys are horribly outdated on your 3D printed gun knowledge.

01:48:22.000 Look up the FGC9.

01:48:23.000 You wanna look that up?

01:48:24.000 FGC... FGC9.

01:48:27.000 I wrote that down.

01:48:28.000 Nice.

01:48:30.000 Ryan Berkabile says, Weird Boys podcast on YouTube and Facebook.

01:48:34.000 We will talk anything paranormal, cryptid, and most conspiracy.

01:48:37.000 You guys rock.

01:48:38.000 Appreciate it.

01:48:39.000 We'll get more into that as we're getting away from, you know, we'll see how things go with politics, but we'll get more into it.

01:48:45.000 Gareth Green says, I grew up on the religious right and I thought the Democrats were the enemy in the 90s.

01:48:49.000 Interesting.

01:48:51.000 Helpless Gazelle says I'm a veteran with the Gadsden flag on my backpack.

01:48:54.000 Am I a threat now?

01:48:55.000 I served my country honorably.

01:48:57.000 Some states even offer it as a license plate.

01:48:59.000 That's crazy.

01:49:00.000 You can get the Gadsden flag on your license plate when you go and you say, I'll take that one.

01:49:03.000 Yep.

01:49:03.000 And now they're saying that's a sign of your... That's crazy.

01:49:07.000 John Hutto says, you can make a gun without a serial number, but you cannot transfer it to anyone.

01:49:11.000 It is yours and yours alone forever.

01:49:13.000 Can't even have someone repair it for you.

01:49:15.000 Liberator has many design iterations that have improved in many ways.

01:49:19.000 Interesting, yeah.

01:49:20.000 Another person mentions, George Pumphrey says, control is over FGC9 with a simple 3D printer.

01:49:26.000 Wow.

01:49:26.000 I'm looking at FGC9.

01:49:28.000 It actually stands for F Gun Control. 0.86

01:49:32.000 F as in fornicating under the consent of the crown. 0.52

01:49:37.000 And it looks pretty serious. 0.95

01:49:40.000 The barrel looks metallic, but there's different variations.

01:49:45.000 There's also, it looks like nails, metal nails that are commonly used that you could use.

01:49:49.000 So it's a counterpart, but I'm reading up on this.

01:49:52.000 It's pretty interesting.

01:49:54.000 I read that you still need like a metal barrel.

01:49:56.000 Yeah, yeah, that's what this model that I'm looking at, I think, has specifically in there.

01:50:02.000 What's a carbine?

01:50:03.000 It's a carbine.

01:50:04.000 What does that mean?

01:50:06.000 Well, it's like a specific, you know, smaller firearm.

01:50:14.000 I don't know, how would you describe it?

01:50:16.000 It's a classification.

01:50:17.000 Does it mean it's smaller than a normal type of weapon of that type?

01:50:20.000 No, I mean... I can look it up.

01:50:22.000 But it's a semi-automatic pistol caliber carbine.

01:50:25.000 The FGC-20.

01:50:26.000 I'm sure someone will super chat us, giving us the breakdown of what a carbine is.

01:50:30.000 I'm not a gun expert by any stretch of the imagination, so I'm not even going to try.

01:50:34.000 Foobadoo says, Foobadoo, that's a good name, says ghost guns are in fact legal federally.

01:50:38.000 Check state laws, some do ban them.

01:50:40.000 Search for deterrence dispensed to find out more about 3D printed guns.

01:50:44.000 They have advanced quite a bit and last thousands of rounds.

01:50:48.000 Really?

01:50:49.000 That's crazy.

01:50:49.000 Yeah.

01:50:50.000 I mean, I remember the defense distributed stuff years ago, so I'm definitely outdated on all that stuff.

01:50:54.000 This says carbine is a short-barreled rifle.

01:50:56.000 There you go.

01:50:57.000 That's all.

01:50:57.000 Just means short-barreled.

01:50:58.000 Do you have 3D printers in your facilities?

01:51:01.000 No.

01:51:02.000 I think you should get them.

01:51:03.000 I think, you know, you can print like really simple thing like knobs and hinges, maybe like missing parts for something, something breaks, repairs.

01:51:10.000 So it's pretty handy.

01:51:11.000 Pretty easy stuff.

01:51:13.000 Although, I guess you need someone to be able to do, like, the CAD stuff, right?

01:51:15.000 Like, 3D printing.

01:51:17.000 Yeah, kind of.

01:51:18.000 But once you figure it out, it's actually very simple.

01:51:21.000 Download a file, hit go.

01:51:23.000 Yeah, you maybe need a nozzle or some kind of, you know, component that isn't made anymore.

01:51:28.000 Mark Wolf says, this practice of rhetoric is old and reliable.

01:51:31.000 Sadly, we haven't changed much.

01:51:34.000 Aristo wisely defined rhetoric to be a science to persuade the people.

01:51:39.000 Socrates and Plato, an art to flatter and deceive.

01:51:43.000 Interesting.

01:51:45.000 Gareth Green says, remember when they called Benghazi a partisan witch hunt?

01:51:49.000 Oh yeah.

01:51:50.000 Archangel says, I got banned on Twitter for sharing video of Democrats calling for more riots.

01:51:55.000 Said it was for posting spam.

01:51:57.000 Oh, there you go.

01:51:59.000 Keith Reyes says, Tim, it is 100% legal to build a non-serial firearm.

01:52:03.000 Hence 80% lowers for AR-15s and polymer 80 builds for Glock SIG style pistols.

01:52:08.000 What is illegal is for a person to sell a non-serial firearm.

01:52:13.000 That's really crazy.

01:52:14.000 We've got 3D printers.

01:52:16.000 Are we really?

01:52:17.000 We'll look into this and make sure.

01:52:18.000 We need a metal 3D printer though.

01:52:20.000 But that's metal?

01:52:21.000 That's like an industrial thing, right?

01:52:23.000 Yeah, that'd be a big one.

01:52:24.000 Printing molten steel or something?

01:52:25.000 Or molten metals?

01:52:26.000 Alright then.

01:52:27.000 I don't know about that.

01:52:29.000 Maybe a CNC machine?

01:52:30.000 Yeah.

01:52:31.000 I knew a dude who had a big one.

01:52:32.000 It was cool.

01:52:33.000 He would print rocket parts.

01:52:35.000 You'd watch it cut through the metal and stuff.

01:52:36.000 It was awesome.

01:52:37.000 Nice.

01:52:37.000 Yeah.

01:52:38.000 And then he'd be like, look, I made rocket parts.

01:52:39.000 And we're like, just in the other room?

01:52:40.000 Yep.

01:52:41.000 Wow.

01:52:41.000 That's cool.

01:52:42.000 Yeah.

01:52:44.000 All right, let's see what we got here.

01:52:46.000 Kiwi2113 says, I just watched your interview with David Pakman from a year ago, and I'm curious about how much both of your opinions have evolved since then.

01:52:53.000 That was from longer than a year ago, I'm pretty sure.

01:52:55.000 Wasn't it like two or three years ago now at this point?

01:52:57.000 I don't know.

01:52:58.000 I don't know either.

01:53:01.000 I have no idea.

01:53:01.000 Maybe we'll have another one in the future.

01:53:04.000 Booker DeWitt, catch, says, Tim, and actually anyone there, that was a joke by the way, I wonder how many people got it, and actually anyone there, I know this is off topic, but would you mind explaining Gamergate?

01:53:13.000 Maybe just a quick explanation.

01:53:15.000 I have a hard time understanding it.

01:53:16.000 And no, it can't be done.

01:53:18.000 It just, you can't do it.

01:53:19.000 Yeah, Ken, it was a bunch of gamers, developers, got woke.

01:53:23.000 There you go.

01:53:25.000 It's so much, but that's not fair.

01:53:27.000 It's not, you can't do it.

01:53:28.000 Didn't do it justice.

01:53:29.000 You can't because it's not about that.

01:53:31.000 It's about collusion, corruption, cronyism.

01:53:34.000 They were paying companies to write articles to make positive game reviews.

01:53:39.000 No, no, no.

01:53:40.000 It's more complicated than that.

01:53:41.000 Advertisers would buy an ad on a website.

01:53:44.000 The website would review the company's games, but lie and say they were good games because otherwise they would lose sponsorship.

01:53:52.000 That's only like 0.1% of what was going on.

01:53:54.000 So you can't even get into it.

01:53:57.000 Vanessa Aponte says, Deep State probably told Trump if you even try pardoning Assange, you'll be hanging with JFK.

01:54:04.000 Well, what I'm hearing is that Republicans in the Senate said, we'll convict you, so you better not pardon Assange.

01:54:10.000 And Trump said, okay.

01:54:11.000 And they're going to convict him anyway.

01:54:13.000 Just like that $2,000 scandal that again, Trump promised he was going to give everyone, and then all the representatives said, no, no, no, no, we're going to do it a different way. 0.68

01:54:21.000 He got screwed that way. 0.97

01:54:22.000 We got screwed. 0.99

01:54:23.000 The Republicans don't want Trump running again. 0.95

01:54:25.000 So the Republicans will be like, I guess we have to convict.

01:54:28.000 And then Trump will be able to run because they'll have gotten him on insurrection, which then the 14th amendment, I believe it's article three or whatever, says you cannot run for office or hold office if you've ever incited insurrection against the country.

01:54:40.000 Also, I'm looking at the FGC9 part list.

01:54:44.000 There's a lot of metal parts.

01:54:45.000 There's a lot of building.

01:54:46.000 It's not just press print and go.

01:54:49.000 It seems a lot more complicated, but thank you for that informative super chat.

01:54:52.000 It definitely made me aware of it.

01:54:56.000 Gunner Anderson says, Luckily, I run AKs.

01:54:57.000 My 4.5x39mm and 7.62x39mm are readily available and still around 35 cents a round.

01:55:00.000 by 39 millimeter and 762 by 39 are readily available and still around 35

01:55:05.000 cents around. Kalash life. There's a lot of stuff You go to the store and they have like a 40 caliber.

01:55:12.000 And uh, what's, what's another, like they have a 10 millimeter.

01:55:15.000 I was able to get some nine millimeter today, which I'm very happy about, but it all depends on the location.

01:55:20.000 Like in New Hampshire, 380 was readily available.

01:55:23.000 Now here, uh, undisclosed location, middle America, it's not as readily available.

01:55:28.000 So it all depends.

01:55:30.000 And yeah, Kalashnikovs, uh, I love AKs. 0.95

01:55:32.000 They're my favorite, even though AR is a little bit more practical and useful.

01:55:36.000 jacob brownfield to the rescue long arm in pistol cartridge carbine there you go oh that's simple crazy larry says i bought a camper for starting off-grid lifestyle before covid hit been prepping with dehydrator vacuum sealer ready to work will be emailing soon first super chat long time love of the show yeah so it's uh it's fortitude ranch.com yeah people should check it out but we'll we'll do another round of of promoting it too once we get through some more super chats and start winding down Justin Edelson says, look at Spain.

01:56:06.000 They didn't allow Catalan to leave.

01:56:08.000 And that's true.

01:56:09.000 They definitely, they went in and the cops, but it wasn't, the cops were just beating people. 0.90

01:56:14.000 You know, I was there actually when they did that a couple of years ago when they were doing that vote and the cops were just beating people.

01:56:19.000 The Barcelona police do not play around.

01:56:22.000 They are vicious.

01:56:23.000 I remember covering them as well.

01:56:24.000 They sent in police from Madrid.

01:56:26.000 Yeah.

01:56:26.000 Because Barcelona cops were loyal to, you know, Catalonia.

01:56:29.000 Well, the repression down there was crazy.

01:56:31.000 And this is the event that led Julian Assange to losing his internet because he actually promoted the independence of Catalan.

01:56:38.000 Yeah, a lot of people are saying, as I mentioned yesterday, don't go to Washington, D.C.

01:56:41.000 It's a trap.

01:56:41.000 There's going to be some kind of bigger possible action.

01:56:43.000 to go to the Capitol protests, calling for peace and logical action.

01:56:47.000 Then their website was removed.

01:56:49.000 That's what I'm saying about people saying don't do it.

01:56:51.000 They're going to take you out.

01:56:52.000 Yeah, a lot of people are saying, as I mentioned yesterday, don't go to Washington, D.C.

01:56:57.000 It's a trap.

01:56:58.000 There's going to be some kind of bigger possible action.

01:57:01.000 Just stay away.

01:57:04.000 Zepp says, love the show.

01:57:05.000 Did any of you guys see the video of a strange light floating and flying around the Capitol buildings in D.C.

01:57:10.000 last night?

01:57:10.000 What?

01:57:11.000 No.

01:57:11.000 But I want to.

01:57:12.000 I've been reading about ball lightning.

01:57:14.000 You guys familiar with that phenomenon?

01:57:16.000 Apparently when lightning strikes it can create a sphere of They don't know what light or plasma or something that can contain material and pass through walls and light.

01:57:25.000 It's a ball of lightning.

01:57:26.000 It can go through.

01:57:27.000 I mean, my friend Jeremy Riss said that it can go through solids like windows, but windows are actually liquid.

01:57:32.000 Glass is a form of liquid.

01:57:34.000 So maybe that's why it can pass through liquid.

01:57:36.000 It can contain a piece of sand and move it through glass.

01:57:39.000 Who's your film says?

01:57:41.000 What is the Mayans? 0.60

01:57:43.000 Uh, the Mayans were dyslexic and the end of the world is 2021, not 2012. 0.96

01:57:49.000 Maybe?

01:57:49.000 Not Elferia says in Fallout the vaults worked as advertised were the control group so they were still part of the

01:57:55.000 experiment No, there you go. I guess

01:57:58.000 Yeah, yeah, so the the ones where people got to live normal lives. Well, that was the control

01:58:01.000 But who was monitoring the experiments the enclave? I think I was the enclave, right? I

01:58:05.000 Suppose maybe now we're getting a lot of Fallout comments Gabriel Logan says Tim it's extremely disrespectful to talk

01:58:14.000 about mangled bodies around a combat veteran It's different for us.

01:58:17.000 We couldn't leave when we wanted to, and that could be us the next day.

01:58:22.000 Would you agree?

01:58:22.000 Absolutely.

01:58:25.000 Gunner Jones says, hey Tim, I got fired today from my job because I was watching your videos and they said I was watching racist videos at work.

01:58:30.000 I don't know if I believe that, to be honest, because what would the video have been about?

01:58:35.000 We were talking about race yesterday, which is technically racist.

01:58:39.000 I mean, they think everything's racist.

01:58:41.000 Tell them they're racist because this is a minority-owned company and a minority-led show. 0.96

01:58:46.000 So how dare they?

01:58:48.000 Rayshol. 0.82

01:58:49.000 Genius Ginger says a carbine is a rifle that fires a lighter caliber like a .40 Smith & Wesson 9mm or a 556-223, not an SBR.

01:58:58.000 X says cheap metal printer, the IRO-3D.

01:59:01.000 We should get one of those.

01:59:03.000 Really?

01:59:05.000 William Monroy says for metal, look into lost PLA casting.

01:59:09.000 Cool.

01:59:11.000 Avinav Rao says, Hey Tim, appreciate the consistent quality content you and your team are putting out.

01:59:15.000 Simply put, are we now living in CCP America?

01:59:20.000 Close to it.

01:59:21.000 Almost.

01:59:21.000 Yeah.

01:59:22.000 I mean, they're running concentration camps and trying to take over Taiwan and Hong Kong and Hong Kong's falling.

01:59:27.000 They have a social credit score, which of course many corporations in the United States built for them.

01:59:32.000 People forget China is as powerful as it is mainly because of the Kissinger doctrine and American elites that are still propping it up.

01:59:40.000 Elite Machine Works says, Hey Tim, if you are looking for someone with CNC machines and 3D printers, I'd love to talk.

01:59:46.000 Willing to relocate my CNC shop to small community and contribute.

01:59:50.000 I design and produce 3D printers all in-house.

01:59:53.000 Oh, that's really cool.

01:59:54.000 Cool stuff.

01:59:56.000 Publia says, Go to IvanTheTroll's Twitter and check out his link in bio.

02:00:01.000 I don't know what that would be.

02:00:03.000 Reese Ward says, if you don't have ammo, you are left with an expensive club.

02:00:08.000 Reminds me of the movie Snatch.

02:00:10.000 You ever see that?

02:00:11.000 The dude's buying the revolver and he's like, it's kind of heavy.

02:00:13.000 And he goes, heavy is good. 0.96

02:00:15.000 If it doesn't work, you hit them with it.

02:00:17.000 And then later on, he finds out it's a bad gun.

02:00:19.000 It doesn't work.

02:00:21.000 Good stuff.

02:00:22.000 Archangel978 says, please get on Demolition Ranch.

02:00:25.000 You will learn so much, plus the guy rules.

02:00:27.000 Demolition Ranch is awesome.

02:00:28.000 Yeah, I'd love to have one.

02:00:29.000 That'd be fun.

02:00:30.000 Those videos are so great.

02:00:31.000 You ever watch Demolition?

02:00:33.000 We should do a video with him here, and it would be really, really fun.

02:00:37.000 Well, he's a huge channel.

02:00:39.000 He makes awesome stuff.

02:00:40.000 I mean, that'd be so cool.

02:00:41.000 I enjoy his content.

02:00:41.000 Yeah.

02:00:43.000 What was I watching?

02:00:45.000 I think I was watching him do a full-auto .50 caliber rifle.

02:00:49.000 We should get one of those.

02:00:51.000 Yeah, but there's a lot you have to do to be able to... Not full-auto, but just a .50 cal would be really nice.

02:00:57.000 It's not asking for too much.

02:00:58.000 Just one.

02:00:58.000 So we have one at each ranch.

02:01:00.000 It's not asking for too much.

02:01:01.000 Just one.

02:01:02.000 Well.

02:01:04.000 They're great for vehicles.

02:01:05.000 I mean, yeah, if you have anything up armored, I mean, you know, but are you are you allowed to discuss?

02:01:12.000 I guess even on the surface, the kind of defensive capabilities you have, like you have things above 50?

02:01:17.000 Are you allowed to say no?

02:01:20.000 So 50 is like, yeah, top tier. 0.81

02:01:23.000 No battleships hidden anywhere?

02:01:25.000 Artillery howitzers or something?

02:01:27.000 Cannons?

02:01:29.000 I have a flamethrower that I own, legally.

02:01:32.000 Lasers.

02:01:33.000 Yeah, what about lasers?

02:01:35.000 I think, I wonder if you guys, you know, directed energy weapons?

02:01:40.000 Anything like that?

02:01:41.000 Here's what I'm thinking.

02:01:43.000 You know what active denial systems are?

02:01:45.000 Yeah, you need some of those, huh?

02:01:47.000 All of that takes energy.

02:01:48.000 I bought some of that stuff recently.

02:01:49.000 it's bad and people just walk up and walk right back.

02:01:51.000 All of that takes energy.

02:01:52.000 Yep.

02:01:53.000 I bought some of that stuff recently.

02:01:54.000 A lot of stuff.

02:01:55.000 That's the problem.

02:01:56.000 This is, this is, what people don't understand about, you know, lasers and directed energy

02:01:59.000 weapons is that the amount of energy conversion to hurt someone with direct energy is a lot

02:02:05.000 more than to push a piece of metal through a tube to hit someone.

02:02:10.000 Even in space, ballistics is an incredible weapon, because if you puncture the hull of a ship, I mean, that's it.

02:02:17.000 I mean, lasers have their place, and, like, you watch the targeting they do with the infrared lasers on drones.

02:02:23.000 It just tracks perfectly and just takes it out.

02:02:25.000 There's no missing.

02:02:27.000 But when it comes to, like, standard combat, guns are pretty efficient.

02:02:32.000 You don't want to go too high tech.

02:02:34.000 Right.

02:02:34.000 You really don't.

02:02:35.000 I mean, not for the long term sustainability model that really is the only one that'll work.

02:02:42.000 But I think you'd be able to get off, you know, motion sensor activated active denial system for perimeter defense.

02:02:48.000 That would be pretty low energy because it wouldn't really ever be on, you know, you'd be there and then it would flick on and flick off and people would just immediately go the other direction.

02:02:57.000 You know, I mean, it would have to have its own power source.

02:03:00.000 Yeah, they'd have to be linked and they'd have to be some kind of, you know, source of energy to tap into.

02:03:05.000 Do you guys use ham radios?

02:03:06.000 We do.

02:03:07.000 Every ranch has ham radios.

02:03:08.000 I was looking at ham radios today.

02:03:09.000 I kind of want to get one.

02:03:10.000 No, no.

02:03:11.000 Have you, have you created like, um, what is it?

02:03:14.000 Bonded ham internet?

02:03:16.000 No.

02:03:17.000 That's, that's something that's, you can create a low, there's probably people who are listening who know better than I do, but I was reading about low quality internet you can get using ham bonding frequencies and then actually transmit data.

02:03:29.000 I heard that it's illegal to encrypt anything over ham radio right now.

02:03:32.000 Really?

02:03:32.000 Yeah.

02:03:33.000 I don't know if that's true, but I was reading that.

02:03:35.000 Ham's cool.

02:03:36.000 Cool stuff.

02:03:37.000 Radio's great.

02:03:37.000 Alright, let's see what we got here.

02:03:40.000 We got a couple... Let's do... Okay, I read that one already.

02:03:45.000 Madgal, Madgal Design Co.

02:03:47.000 says, Boy, it feels like a countdown.

02:03:49.000 To what I don't know.

02:03:50.000 I just want to live normally again.

02:03:52.000 It feels like it will never be the same again.

02:03:54.000 Yeah, I know.

02:03:55.000 What do you think about that?

02:03:56.000 It's not gonna be the same again.

02:03:57.000 Yeah, I've seen people saying that DC will never go back to normal.

02:04:01.000 Why would they give up the power?

02:04:02.000 They've locked down the whole jurisdiction.

02:04:04.000 Why give it up?

02:04:05.000 We've trampled over so many precedences.

02:04:09.000 There's a lot of things that there's no going back to.

02:04:13.000 Donald C. says, metal 3D printers use a layer to scan and selectively melt metal powder particles, bonding them together and building a part layer by layer.

02:04:23.000 I've seen that.

02:04:23.000 Have you guys ever seen that?

02:04:24.000 No.

02:04:25.000 That's crazy.

02:04:25.000 Not at first.

02:04:26.000 Yeah, it's like it reminds me of Mission Impossible when they make those masks and the laser like comes down and just makes it.

02:04:31.000 That's cool.

02:04:32.000 I've done it with gel with like resin where it'll use a UV light to harden the resin and it pulls it out of the goo, but I haven't done it with metal yet.

02:04:41.000 Blank says, hey Tim, look up the story of Nazinsky, infinitely known as Stalin's cannibal island.

02:04:48.000 A gulag so bad it turns the stomach of Soviet elites.

02:04:54.000 Evil is real, the horror.

02:04:58.000 So what, they put people in a gulag and they started eating each other?

02:05:00.000 That sounds crazy.

02:05:01.000 What else are you going to do if there's no food?

02:05:03.000 I mean, yeah, just choices.

02:05:05.000 Carl Flynn says, have you gotten the chance to watch Run Hide Fight?

02:05:08.000 I was kind of skeptical at first, but I have to admit I was very pleasantly surprised.

02:05:12.000 Very well done.

02:05:13.000 Yeah, the trailer looked really good.

02:05:16.000 Gareth Green says, GamerGate, SJW indie text game developer, cheats on her boyfriend with gaming journalist who just so happened to have promoted said designer in articles and boyfriend's Heartbreak blog goes mega viral.

02:05:30.000 Oh, there you go.

02:05:32.000 AG says, Tim, why did you skip my super chat about Turkey and Azerbaijan ethnically cleansing Armenians from ArtSoc?

02:05:38.000 Have you been paid off by Turk PR firms? 0.56

02:05:41.000 No!

02:05:42.000 I've actually skipped quite a bit of super chats because we can only read so many.

02:05:45.000 I'll vouch for it.

02:05:47.000 Mason Perry says, there are long rifles, short rifles, and carbines.

02:05:51.000 Caliber is not a factor in classification.

02:05:54.000 Interesting.

02:05:56.000 Alright.

02:05:57.000 Sane says, as a retired staff sergeant, I want to know how they're vetting the troops in DC.

02:06:02.000 Are they threatening them with prison if they don't swear loyalty to Biden?

02:06:09.000 Nah, they're just like, you posted about the NRA, so you gotta go.

02:06:13.000 Curtis Mayer says, Tim and crew, you guys rock.

02:06:16.000 Ian, it's taken me a few months to understand you, but I really enjoy your mind and how you see the world.

02:06:20.000 Thank you, Curtis.

02:06:21.000 You're not alone.

02:06:22.000 All right, let's see.

02:06:26.000 DA says, can you talk about the crypto FRT and what its purpose is?

02:06:31.000 I can't.

02:06:31.000 I don't know what that is.

02:06:33.000 Fart?

02:06:33.000 FRT.

02:06:34.000 Let's find out.

02:06:34.000 Fart or fort?

02:06:35.000 Huh.

02:06:36.000 Or frat?

02:06:37.000 I never heard of it.

02:06:38.000 No.

02:06:40.000 Let's see, I can't... How do I pronounce your name?

02:06:43.000 Caelid?

02:06:44.000 Madigan?

02:06:45.000 I am an inventor and use 3D printing to prototype.

02:06:48.000 Would be happy to come give a workshop.

02:06:50.000 I'm really interested in that metal 3D printing thing with, uh, yeah, metal grain and a laser to weld each layer of grain.

02:06:56.000 That's, that's amazing.

02:06:58.000 That's cool stuff.

02:07:00.000 Nicholas Munoz says, any of those great ranches based in California?

02:07:04.000 No, Nevada would be the closest one at this time.

02:07:07.000 Why would you want to be in California, is the question.

02:07:10.000 The Pacific.

02:07:12.000 The beautiful Pacific.

02:07:13.000 The fault lines and communism.

02:07:15.000 The fault lines are crazy, dude.

02:07:16.000 My whole life was changed when I lived in LA.

02:07:18.000 Like, you can't put anything above your head, of course, when you're sleeping.

02:07:22.000 And now you can!

02:07:23.000 You know?

02:07:24.000 Now that I'm not...

02:07:25.000 Dreaded Moon Pie says, the more I watch this show, the more I crush on Luke.

02:07:34.000 Image JPEG says, ham op here.

02:07:36.000 I'd like to share any info.

02:07:38.000 100 watts from IA got me to Russia and New Zealand.

02:07:41.000 You cannot encrypt data on ham frequencies.

02:07:44.000 Interesting.

02:07:45.000 Mr. Verdi says, you guys have to be absolutely raking in the super chats.

02:07:48.000 Too bad it's not in Bitcoin.

02:07:51.000 I know.

02:07:52.000 I remember when Bitcoin was at 30, it was like 38 or something.

02:07:55.000 And then people were like, oh, it's too high.

02:07:57.000 And the news came out and said, oh, it's going to tank.

02:08:00.000 Drops down to 30.

02:08:01.000 And I see, I see people tweeting, I'm going to sell now and then buy back at the bottom.

02:08:05.000 And I'm like, okay, you're making a mistake.

02:08:08.000 And then boom, right back up to 35.

02:08:10.000 Bitcoin's going to go up, up, up, man.

02:08:14.000 Charles Belozian says, my girlfriend thinks I called you out for not loving Armenia.

02:08:18.000 Wasn't me.

02:08:20.000 Well, there you go.

02:08:21.000 JQ Nelson Film says, Tim, did you see the Black Lives Matter twerk for MLK video?

02:08:25.000 You can't make this stuff up.

02:08:27.000 It was released by the official BLM organization.

02:08:30.000 It's not the first time they've done it.

02:08:31.000 They did it in 2014 and I don't care.

02:08:35.000 I don't know.

02:08:36.000 Luke mentioned it.

02:08:36.000 Yeah.

02:08:37.000 I was like, they're spending their 10.6 billion dollars on efforts to shake their Patankadongs in celebration. 0.98

02:08:43.000 And what if... It's just weird.

02:08:45.000 I don't think so.

02:08:46.000 It's just not the way to kind of memorialize a religious pasture.

02:08:50.000 I disagree.

02:08:52.000 Well, I think he would disagree.

02:08:53.000 I think he would be kind of disappointed by that, especially, you know, the person he was.

02:08:58.000 I think if somebody likes dancing a specific way and you don't like the way they dance... Hey, go all about it.

02:09:03.000 I don't think it's weird.

02:09:04.000 I don't think it's weird. For me it was just a little, you know, kind of distasteful in my opinion.

02:09:08.000 That's because you viewed twerking negatively.

02:09:11.000 Do you, are you a twerker?

02:09:13.000 Are you a secret twerker that I don't know anything about?

02:09:16.000 I just think there are people that do things that I probably don't care for, but I respect people's rights to live and celebrate and do the things they want to do on their own.

02:09:22.000 Tim Pool, twerker enthusiast.

02:09:24.000 What if they were polka dancing?

02:09:26.000 What if they were polka dancing or square dancing or something?

02:09:28.000 Still, it's just kind of weird to implement that into politics.

02:09:32.000 Again, I'm with you with the personal freedom stuff.

02:09:34.000 To me, it's just a little distasteful culturally.

02:09:37.000 Here we go.

02:09:38.000 Spidge Bandersnatch says, Tim, for an anti-war guy, you sure do like high-tech weapons.

02:09:44.000 Yes.

02:09:45.000 You see, what happens if you have an active denial system surrounding your property?

02:09:48.000 There's no conflict.

02:09:49.000 There's no war.

02:09:50.000 People leave you alone.

02:09:51.000 That simple.

02:09:52.000 I'm all for, you know, look, if the beaches of California were stormed by an enemy invader, I'd be like, you know, what do you need me to do?

02:09:59.000 Like, I'm here.

02:10:00.000 People are, I'll fight.

02:10:01.000 Defensively.

02:10:02.000 If you're like, we're going to send people to Syria to remove their dictator, talking about the pipeline, I'm going to be like, I don't know about all that.

02:10:09.000 There are other reasons, of course.

02:10:11.000 But, uh, look.

02:10:12.000 If you have really great weapons, you can stop all of it, and just, it's over.

02:10:16.000 It's done.

02:10:17.000 There's no war.

02:10:17.000 Alright, let's just read one more Super Chat.

02:10:21.000 Purple says, my I Am A Gorilla shirt has arrived today, and it's actually very comfortable, and the design isn't super tacky.

02:10:27.000 Want me to tweet it to you?

02:10:30.000 Well, don't tweet it at me, because I just never even click.

02:10:32.000 I don't function on Twitter, you know what I mean?

02:10:34.000 But you can tweet it at SourPatchLids.

02:10:36.000 And if you would like to get your own I Am A Gorilla t-shirt, go to TimCast.com, click shop, and it is there, and it's actually the most sold shirt we've ever put together, and it's ridiculous.

02:10:48.000 I'm, like, looking at the numbers.

02:10:49.000 I think we sold over 800 so far.

02:10:51.000 800 I am a gorilla shirts.

02:10:53.000 Look at Luke with his I'm Joe Biden and I forgot this message. 0.96

02:10:55.000 My shirt sales went down 75% you son of a gun. 0.93

02:10:59.000 What? 0.68

02:10:59.000 Yeah. 0.68

02:11:00.000 Yeah, they went down a lot.

02:11:01.000 That's okay.

02:11:02.000 I still appreciate all the support and you know, I gotta eat too.

02:11:08.000 Luke's got these fancy political messages.

02:11:09.000 I'm just selling shirts that's got a cartoon grill on it.

02:11:12.000 People should realize that, hey, I think we need to be more representative of our ideas.

02:11:16.000 I think too many people are shy about their stances.

02:11:20.000 What better stance can you have than wearing this shirt in public to represent your kind of larger discontent with a president who's not really there?

02:11:28.000 Yes, you could do like this stance.

02:11:32.000 Did it!

02:11:32.000 I guess.

02:11:32.000 It's a physical stance.

02:11:33.000 Smash the like button because many people haven't smashed the like button.

02:11:37.000 Subscribe, share the video if you really do like it, sharing this podcast, leave

02:11:40.000 us a good review on iTunes.

02:11:41.000 If you have not checked us out on iTunes or Spotify, do so and follow us, however

02:11:45.000 that works.

02:11:46.000 And, uh, it's greatly appreciated, but also go to Tim cast.com.

02:11:49.000 Become a member because that is the shield in the event we get totally

02:11:54.000 nuked off the internet.

02:11:55.000 Let me tell you something.

02:11:56.000 We have millions of subscribers, or I should say, you know, my channels have

02:12:01.000 I've got millions of followers.

02:12:03.000 You know, everybody here combined, we have a decent amount.

02:12:05.000 But if we had only 10,000 people out of the millions that were members, we'd never have to worry about censorship again.

02:12:15.000 That's not even 1%, dude.

02:12:15.000 It's like less than 1%.

02:12:17.000 Seriously.

02:12:18.000 10,000 people as members, and then we can expand, we can hire people, we can grow more, and we wouldn't have to worry about censorship.

02:12:24.000 Isn't that crazy?

02:12:25.000 Out of the millions of people who watch...

02:12:28.000 Only 10,000 are needed to create that barrier.

02:12:29.000 I've been thinking a lot about expanding the company.

02:12:32.000 A lot of people have been hitting me up wanting to work for us.

02:12:35.000 Well, we've got to get to that point.

02:12:36.000 For this company.

02:12:36.000 For you.

02:12:37.000 We've got to get to that point.

02:12:38.000 Yeah, we'll talk about it offline, obviously.

02:12:40.000 But it requires a lot of strategy and planning.

02:12:43.000 Right.

02:12:43.000 The organization.

02:12:44.000 If we can build the structure, then we have to find the people.

02:12:47.000 I know a lot of people are willing.

02:12:50.000 It's not about finance.

02:12:51.000 It's just about the structure.

02:12:52.000 Like, what would they be doing?

02:12:53.000 Where would we be?

02:12:54.000 There are podcasts way smaller than this one that have 30,000 to 50,000 people giving $10 a month, and it blows my mind.

02:13:02.000 Like, there's these people with these smaller podcasts.

02:13:04.000 And no disrespect, because they only have like 50,000 subscribers, but because they're paying subscribers, they're super rich.

02:13:10.000 I wonder why they don't expand their operations.

02:13:12.000 Probably because they're rich and happy.

02:13:14.000 But I want to do more.

02:13:15.000 Like, I want to get journalists working.

02:13:17.000 I want to get more content gaming.

02:13:19.000 You know, fun, exciting stuff.

02:13:21.000 So, you know, TimCast.com, become a member.

02:13:23.000 But, Steve?

02:13:25.000 Yes?

02:13:26.000 Fortitude Ranch.

02:13:27.000 You want to give a shout out?

02:13:28.000 Mention anything people should know?

02:13:31.000 Well, spots are limited.

02:13:33.000 We're constantly expanding, so as tension rises and problems get more difficult, we can't always say that there will be one available.

02:13:46.000 So if somebody has a mind to do it, it would be a good time to do it.

02:13:50.000 To become a member?

02:13:51.000 Yes, to become a member.

02:13:53.000 We also have Fortitude Tokens, which actually puts- Cryptocurrency?

02:13:57.000 Yes.

02:13:57.000 Wow.

02:13:58.000 Wow, really?

02:13:59.000 Dr. Miller actually is a consultant for blockchain and cryptocurrency.

02:14:04.000 This is great.

02:14:05.000 We should have went deep on this.

02:14:06.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa.

02:14:08.000 So, like, is it the currency you use at the campsites?

02:14:11.000 No, no, it's not about that.

02:14:12.000 It's for people to reserve a spot for a membership.

02:14:16.000 Cash isn't king when there is, you know, when things happen.

02:14:20.000 Hyperinflation.

02:14:21.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:14:22.000 Oh, that's really cool.

02:14:23.000 Is it a security?

02:14:25.000 Are you familiar with the or is it a non fungible token?

02:14:28.000 So well, it's tradable.

02:14:30.000 I mean, it's it's, you know, you you can purchase and they can be traded.

02:14:34.000 Where can they buy it?

02:14:35.000 It's been gone.

02:14:35.000 Yeah, that I can't tell you because he handles it.

02:14:38.000 It's not so under my so like someone could trade me the token I could use for membership.

02:14:43.000 Yes.

02:14:43.000 Well, you can buy, I mean, you can buy tokens and it holds it.

02:14:46.000 What happens when it does is it locks down the price and it secures a place in line.

02:14:53.000 So once everybody keeps piling in, excuse me, if somebody comes next week, but you want to pull the trigger, then you get to pull the trigger.

02:15:01.000 They don't.

02:15:02.000 Cool.

02:15:02.000 You're also saying you're looking for investors, right?

02:15:04.000 Yeah.

02:15:05.000 Well, to quickly expand, it takes about a million dollars.

02:15:08.000 If you would come out and visit West Virginia, you'd see a million dollars sitting in there.

02:15:12.000 Eight inches of reinforced concrete, steel, and three foot of earth isn't easy to do.

02:15:19.000 Talking about my romance language here.

02:15:21.000 Well, so in order to expand, we'd like to, you know, give the affordability for folks not to travel so far and open up to different markets.

02:15:29.000 But it will take investors to do that because, you know, we use the funds for membership to maintain and expand the current ranches.

02:15:38.000 They can come and contact you through the website?

02:15:42.000 Manager at FortitudeRanch.com.

02:15:44.000 They can actually get part of the business.

02:15:47.000 I mean, it's... And then they become a member, right?

02:15:49.000 Yeah, and they also become a member.

02:15:51.000 Cool.

02:15:52.000 Luke, I hear that you have t-shirts.

02:15:53.000 Oh, yeah, yeah. 0.95

02:15:55.000 I'm going to stop being ridiculous with it.

02:15:58.000 I release videos on We Are Change.

02:16:00.000 I have a separate independent media organization.

02:16:03.000 Everything about it and how you could be involved, whether it's shirts or other stuff that I do, it's all on wearechange.org forward slash donate.

02:16:12.000 But also give a double follow to at Sour Patch Lids.

02:16:17.000 I feel sorry and bad because I was so excited I totally forgot to do introductions.

02:16:20.000 So give a double follow to Lydia there. 0.99

02:16:24.000 Thank you.

02:16:25.000 I appreciate that.

02:16:25.000 My at is Sour Patch Lids.

02:16:27.000 L-Y-D-S on Twitter and real Sour Patch Lids now on Gab and Instagram, which I changed to reflect my Gab.

02:16:33.000 And then Ian.

02:16:34.000 I don't have any products to sell.

02:16:36.000 I'm here to sustainably grow this organization and help thrive, which we are on the path to thriving.

02:16:43.000 But you can follow me online at Ian Crossland.

02:16:45.000 Hit me up on Twitter.

02:16:46.000 I like to talk about science and stuff.

02:16:47.000 So selfless.

02:16:48.000 And don't forget, you can follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Mines at TimCast.

02:16:52.000 Check out my other YouTube channels, youtube.com slash TimCast, youtube.com slash TimCastNews.

02:16:57.000 We're live Monday through Friday at 8 p.m., so we will be back tomorrow, and tomorrow, I imagine, is probably going to be weird.

02:17:05.000 I don't know if it'll be crazy, but weird, maybe, just because there's not going to be any people there.

02:17:11.000 So, uh, who's coming tonight?

02:17:13.000 Jack.

02:17:13.000 Jack Murphy.

02:17:14.000 We normally don't announce guests, but Jack is a regular, you know, so he's always here.

02:17:18.000 This is going to be a great conversation.

02:17:20.000 We'll see how things play out.

02:17:21.000 So make sure you come back, hang out, and don't forget, go to TimCast.com, become members.

02:17:24.000 Help us create this base so that we can expand and do more.

02:17:29.000 And we're going to expand either way, don't get me wrong.

02:17:31.000 But I'm just concerned about what happens if we get banned.

02:17:33.000 Is it over?

02:17:35.000 Not if we get a core base of members.

02:17:37.000 Then we can continue up until the internet explodes, I guess.

02:17:41.000 So thanks for hanging out, everybody.

02:17:42.000 And Steve, thanks again for coming and joining us and talking about Fortitude Ranch.

02:17:46.000 My pleasure.

02:17:46.000 I'm going to be looking into this.

02:17:49.000 And for everybody else, we will see you all tomorrow at 8pm.
