Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - National Guard To Deploy In DC Over US Freedom Convoy w-Steve Rene

00:00:03.000 D.C.

00:00:04.000 is preparing for the U.S.

00:00:06.000 Freedom Convoy and is being reported by Fox that the National Guard will be deployed, so we can expect things to get, well, maybe not so much out of hand, but a bit more serious here in the U.S., though I think things will be particularly different.

00:00:20.000 Up in Canada, the police there were absolutely brutal, mocking injuring protesters and leaked messages, gloating about trampling a woman with horses, and here's where it gets scary.

00:00:30.000 As Justin Trudeau is using very serious and extreme emergency powers, having his powers extended by Canadian Parliament, freezing bank accounts of single mothers for donating 50 bucks, a new poll has come out.

00:00:44.000 Trafalgar Group found that 65% of likely Democrat voters support what Justin Trudeau has done.

00:00:53.000 Now, I understand it's a different country, but that says a lot about where Democrat voters in this country are.

00:00:57.000 Now, interestingly, in this poll, In unaffiliated voters, overwhelmingly disapprove 74% Republican voters.

00:01:05.000 I believe it's 87 overwhelmingly disapprove what is going on in this country that Democrat voters are holding these extreme authoritarian views and and supporting this kind of insanity. So I can only, I can only imagine

00:01:18.000 what would happen with the Democrat administration as these freedom truckers, these convoy 1.00

00:01:23.000 makes their way to the U S. So we'll get into all of that. We have some news as to why that may be

00:01:29.000 apparently, according to another poll from Gallup, Democrats don't watch the news right now.

00:01:34.000 They've just totally tuned out more so than most other groups, so that could explain a lot of it.

00:01:38.000 Gal Rittenhouse is filing, or says he's going to be launching a project to file defamation suits against people who smeared him, like Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks and Whoopi Goldberg.

00:01:48.000 And then, of course, there's actually very serious and important news that Biden is sanctioning Russian officials, not over Ukraine, And it looks like the Nord Stream 2 pipeline may be getting shuttered because of all of what's happening.

00:02:04.000 Look, a lot of people don't think there could be an expansion of conflict over some regional conflict in Europe, but you gotta understand that if the conflict does escalate, and it has, Putin's putting peacekeepers, military, into eastern Ukraine, it's just dominoes falling.

00:02:18.000 Now, Biden announces sanctions, then Russia says, well, we're gonna do this, that, or otherwise, then one by one, dominoes fall over until something seriously bad happens.

00:02:27.000 Let's get into all of this.

00:02:29.000 Once again, talking about just the insane state of affairs in this world.

00:02:33.000 And joining us today is the COO of Fortitude Ranch, Steve Renee.

00:02:37.000 Hey Tim, good to be back.

00:02:39.000 Thanks for coming.

00:02:39.000 Do you want to introduce yourself?

00:02:40.000 Sure.

00:02:40.000 I'm the COO of Fortitude Ranch.

00:02:43.000 We are a survival and recreational community.

00:02:46.000 We have six locations across the U.S.

00:02:48.000 and we're looking to continue to expand.

00:02:51.000 I'm also the COO of Survival Housing which is a new startup for us and we're looking to get into consulting for those who wouldn't necessarily want to join Fortitude Ranch but need some help In setting up a homestead, a preparation, a bug-out site.

00:03:06.000 We also have partners that we're partnering up with for housing solutions in such occasion.

00:03:13.000 So you've also got military experience.

00:03:15.000 I do.

00:03:16.000 You actually, I think you're saying you lived in Ukraine as well?

00:03:18.000 I lived in Belarus.

00:03:20.000 Belarus, Belarus.

00:03:20.000 Yes, visited Ukraine many times.

00:03:22.000 So do you think you'll be able to give us some insights into what's going on right now?

00:03:25.000 Absolutely.

00:03:25.000 That's gonna be fantastic.

00:03:26.000 Thanks for coming.

00:03:27.000 We got Chris Carr hanging out as well.

00:03:29.000 Hey, the one and only executive editor at TimCast.com.

00:03:32.000 Thanks for having me, guys.

00:03:33.000 This is gonna be a great conversation.

00:03:34.000 I'm really looking forward to hearing your insights.

00:03:36.000 War is no joke.

00:03:38.000 World War I began for much less than what we're looking at right now.

00:03:41.000 It's just a bunch of defensive packs triggering, and no one really knew what the hell was going on, and all of a sudden everyone's fighting each other.

00:03:47.000 Be ever vigilant if you want to prevent this stuff.

00:03:51.000 And I am also here in the corner.

00:03:53.000 Steve and his convoy brought me a Sour Patch Kids little bobble head pop thing.

00:03:58.000 It's amazing.

00:03:58.000 I love it and I appreciate it.

00:04:00.000 And I'm really looking forward to Steve because he brings such great depth of wisdom and he has a lot of experience in the world.

00:04:04.000 So we'll have a great conversation tonight for sure.

00:04:07.000 They also gave Ian a 20-sided die.

00:04:08.000 Oh my gosh, I gotta show you this.

00:04:10.000 So cool, yeah.

00:04:11.000 Ari brought this for me.

00:04:12.000 Thanks, dude.

00:04:12.000 So cool.

00:04:13.000 This is a 20-sided die.

00:04:14.000 It's about as psychedelic as I am.

00:04:16.000 20s only tonight, Ian.

00:04:17.000 Look at this beautiful thing.

00:04:19.000 All right, Ian.

00:04:19.000 Roll those 20s tonight.

00:04:20.000 Yeah, let's do it.

00:04:20.000 Before we get started, everybody.

00:04:21.000 I rolled a three.

00:04:22.000 Oh, no.

00:04:22.000 Don't start.

00:04:54.000 Let's get started domestically.

00:04:56.000 Because I thought this was a pretty, this is, this is pretty big news.

00:04:59.000 Fox News reports DC prepares for possible US Freedom Convoy.

00:05:04.000 Officials request National Guard troops.

00:05:06.000 Tow trucks spotted near Washington DC's National Mall.

00:05:10.000 I found this interesting because when I was reading all of this news, all of these news outlets are saying request for National Guard, request for National Guard.

00:05:18.000 And then Fox News seems to bury the lead, outright saying National Guard troops will reportedly deploy beginning Tuesday and remain in place until the end of March.

00:05:27.000 The New York Times, I'm sorry, Fox News is saying they have a source telling them this.

00:05:32.000 That the truckers are requesting a permit for 1,000 to 3,000 people to gather in the capital and the National Guard will reportedly be deploying Tuesday and Remain in place until the end of March.

00:05:42.000 So I don't know exactly what we're gonna see right now tow trucks are apparently on scene in DC already and they're saying they've been contracted by the city for like 10 days or so and I believe the US Freedom Convoys, they're set to leave in a couple days from Barstow, California.

00:05:58.000 It's Barstow, right?

00:05:58.000 Is that where they're coming from?

00:05:59.000 We're getting a lot of conflicting reports.

00:06:01.000 I was talking with our field reporter about that today and like we're comparing notes and it's really hard to figure out exactly what's going on right now.

00:06:06.000 But they're expecting to be in D.C.

00:06:07.000 what, March 1st?

00:06:08.000 Yes.

00:06:09.000 State of the Union address?

00:06:09.000 For the State of the Union, yeah.

00:06:10.000 That's the plan.

00:06:11.000 That's a bold time to come in.

00:06:12.000 So they're already putting up security perimeter fencing.

00:06:15.000 I think it's gonna look very, very different to what we saw in Canada.

00:06:20.000 But I suppose, you know, the truckers are gonna be prepared for that.

00:06:24.000 And I'm wondering...

00:06:26.000 I'm wondering how things are going to go.

00:06:27.000 I mean, the mandates out here in the States, I mean, they're going away.

00:06:31.000 It's not the same as it is in Canada.

00:06:32.000 In Canada, it's absolutely brutal.

00:06:33.000 They're beating people.

00:06:34.000 They're laughing about it.

00:06:35.000 Trampled some old woman, you know, on a mobility scooter, and then the cops were posting messages laughing about it.

00:06:41.000 Messages got leaked.

00:06:42.000 What do you guys think's going to happen?

00:06:43.000 You think the U.S.

00:06:44.000 is going to get rowdy?

00:06:45.000 Yeah, well, I think they're smart to get the permit, first of all, right?

00:06:48.000 So you don't have a repeat, you don't put yourself in the same situation what happened in Canada.

00:06:53.000 And then, but how?

00:06:59.000 That doesn't mean that everybody involved in the convoy are going to act the same way.

00:07:03.000 Yeah.

00:07:03.000 So along the way, I wouldn't be surprised if they stop somewhere and clog something ahead of getting to the permit site, right?

00:07:10.000 If you're looking to make a statement.

00:07:12.000 And so it'll be interesting to see how that works.

00:07:15.000 Or like an FBI agent gets steps up on the back of the truck and throws a brick and is like, hey, the truckers are throwing bricks.

00:07:21.000 I do not.

00:07:21.000 This is just red flags, red light flashing warning.

00:07:25.000 Be careful.

00:07:25.000 Do not.

00:07:27.000 They're ready for you.

00:07:28.000 The fascist organization that is controlling the United States and Canada and all of the Western democracies, this liberal economic order, is ready for you.

00:07:35.000 They're planning for this.

00:07:36.000 They're already got the National Guard prepared.

00:07:38.000 They're going to call people domestic terrorists.

00:07:40.000 They're going to put people in solitary.

00:07:41.000 Be prepared.

00:07:43.000 Yeah, you just cranked it all the way up to 11, man.

00:07:46.000 First, you know, the international cabal that's controlling the Western... Well, I think it's fair to say that, you know, Biden called Trudeau.

00:07:54.000 They had a conversation about what's happening with the convoy.

00:07:57.000 Biden urged Trudeau to crack down with federal authority.

00:08:01.000 Trudeau then started using these insane emergency powers to freeze bank accounts.

00:08:07.000 So I would maybe turn it to 10, just go down one notch.

00:08:10.000 I don't know if there's some, if it's a cabal like Biden and Trudeau, you know, go and then hang out at a secret meeting underground or anything like that.

00:08:17.000 I certainly think these world leaders have trade agreements, have economic ties, and whether or not you can say there's one unified organization, like as if Biden and Trudeau literally work for the World Economic Forum, I don't know about all that.

00:08:30.000 I know that they're interested in supporting.

00:08:31.000 I know that they're negotiating with.

00:08:33.000 I know they attend these similar events.

00:08:36.000 So, you know, just one notch down, but you know, I'm not completely in complete disagreement.

00:08:40.000 Yeah, the Bank of International Settlements loans money to the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve of New York, which is where, I don't know if Canada gets their money through England, I don't know where they, where does Canada print its money from its central bank?

00:08:51.000 Everyone's just responding, 20.

00:08:53.000 It's just, it's so true.

00:08:58.000 When you're up against a machine gun nest, we talked about this yesterday, you do not charge straight at it.

00:09:03.000 That's what these people have done.

00:09:04.000 They charge the position with the Canadian ones, The defenders were like unprepared.

00:09:08.000 They're like, ah, then they set up a machine gun nest to protect the area.

00:09:12.000 Now, if you're going to go at it, you got to find new methodologies, man.

00:09:15.000 It is so dangerous to repeat this action.

00:09:18.000 Yeah.

00:09:18.000 And the other important thing too, is with the Freedom Convoy in Canada, they really underestimated it.

00:09:24.000 They had no idea.

00:09:25.000 They tried smearing it.

00:09:26.000 They tried calling them violent.

00:09:27.000 None of it works.

00:09:28.000 None of it sticks.

00:09:29.000 So then they just say, okay, we're going full fash.

00:09:31.000 They just go full fascist.

00:09:32.000 They freeze bank accounts.

00:09:33.000 They even get socialists like Vosch posting on Twitter like, whoa, this has gone too far.

00:09:39.000 They even get, you know, more establishment types like Stephen Marsh was on the show saying like, that's martial law.

00:09:45.000 So they went over the top.

00:09:47.000 I'd be willing to bet they've learned from those mistakes in the United States.

00:09:51.000 Very, very different from Canada.

00:09:53.000 The police are going to be way more brutal.

00:09:55.000 Tear gas will be deployed.

00:09:56.000 They're going to be embedded, I guarantee it, in the trucker convoy the moment they leave, following them every step of the way.

00:10:03.000 And I think they're going to do everything in their power to disrupt it, but also they're going to be spying on everything the truckers say or do.

00:10:10.000 They need more enemies.

00:10:11.000 The January 6th thing is becoming old news and those people have been off the radar.

00:10:16.000 Dude, oh god.

00:10:17.000 When you have a huge military, you're constantly looking for a place to use it because it's costing you money if you're not.

00:10:23.000 Well, look, we all hear about what's going on in Ukraine and with Russia, and it's remarkable that that's Biden's priority.

00:10:32.000 I know it's probably a cliche at this point to bring it up.

00:10:34.000 It's become a trope.

00:10:35.000 The southern border is wide open, just completely obliterated.

00:10:40.000 People are pouring through, and the U.S. 0.95

00:10:42.000 government doesn't care. 0.88

00:10:43.000 And so when I see that, you know, my view is it's very obvious the Biden administration has no allegiance to this country.

00:10:52.000 I just don't believe it.

00:10:52.000 I really, really don't.

00:10:54.000 Sending troops to Ukraine?

00:10:55.000 Why?

00:10:55.000 To help Ukraine?

00:10:56.000 To help NATO?

00:10:57.000 To help Europe?

00:10:59.000 What about us?

00:11:00.000 We don't have troops in Ukraine.

00:11:01.000 No, we haven't been Belarus or... No, we haven't been Poland.

00:11:05.000 Poland.

00:11:05.000 So the 18th Airborne and 82nd and the 82nd are there.

00:11:09.000 Yeah.

00:11:09.000 Now we do have, from what I've read, we have troops, those who are doing training, which generally in the past, that's always been Green Berets, when they're put into that position, that's who generally do the training.

00:11:23.000 And they're trying to help the Ukrainian forces, but that's all the way close to the border with Ukraine.

00:11:28.000 So we have no troops in danger.

00:11:31.000 They're in Ukraine.

00:11:32.000 I just mean, you know, why is it such a heavy priority for the U.S.

00:11:35.000 to be involved in training in Poland and doing these things when we're not even taking care of ourselves?

00:11:40.000 Well, it's really kind of a two-sided coin.

00:11:44.000 I agree, right, that something needs to be done with the border, but that is the plan.

00:11:49.000 The plan is to keep it open, right?

00:11:51.000 That is the policy.

00:11:53.000 And so, obviously, there isn't any other way to stop it other than the states along the border trying to build their own walls, trying to enforce, you know, what is the actual law along the border themselves.

00:12:09.000 I get the analogy, but the danger of what's going on in Ukraine right now is, one, it is immediate.

00:12:19.000 I'm not talking about World War III.

00:12:21.000 This has been a carefully orchestrated plan on the part of Putin, and it's not going to stop.

00:12:29.000 Even if all he does is what he's done now, he's won.

00:12:33.000 Yep.

00:12:34.000 I mean, he won with Crimea.

00:12:35.000 No, absolutely.

00:12:36.000 And then all he has to do is take a break and redo it again.

00:12:40.000 And I tweeted, Putin was afraid of Trump.

00:12:45.000 And I believe it.

00:12:48.000 But I got a response.

00:12:49.000 I got a funny response.

00:12:50.000 It was Jemaine Clement from Flight of the Concords responded to me.

00:12:53.000 And he said something like, sure he was.

00:12:55.000 And it was a picture of Putin standing next to Trump or something.

00:12:57.000 And I'm like, I don't...

00:12:58.000 I don't know what that picture is supposed to be.

00:13:01.000 I genuinely believe, like, dude, Putin can walk up to Trump and take a picture with him and smile and laugh.

00:13:07.000 Putin wasn't afraid that Donald Trump would physically harm him.

00:13:10.000 Putin's KGB training, you know, what does he do, jujitsu or whatever?

00:13:15.000 I don't think he's afraid of Trump on a physical man-to-man level, like he's going to walk up to him and go, oh no, it's Trump.

00:13:20.000 He's afraid that Trump is insane and that if he did something, Trump would act irrationally and do something irrational that would make it very difficult for him to do exactly what he's doing.

00:13:30.000 But honestly, whoever is in office, and I agree with what you're saying to a certain degree, no one was going to stop him.

00:13:30.000 Right.

00:13:38.000 I don't care who was in office, because we're not going to put troops in Ukraine because they are not a member of NATO.

00:13:48.000 Both sides of defense have agreed, right?

00:13:50.000 There's already resolutions already saying, boots on the ground, no.

00:13:55.000 Support?

00:13:56.000 That's going to happen.

00:13:57.000 So, I do agree with what you're saying, but we're dealing with a different creature in Vladimir Putin.

00:14:06.000 But under, look, so we saw the escalation of this under Obama.

00:14:10.000 And then under Trump, it kind of just fizzles.

00:14:12.000 It kind of just goes into stasis.

00:14:14.000 Biden gets in and all of a sudden it ignites again.

00:14:17.000 No, and true, but that is also part of the cycle.

00:14:19.000 And this is, I mean, this is kind of what he waits for, right?

00:14:23.000 Yeah.

00:14:23.000 Opportunity.

00:14:24.000 So when you have your opportunity, you strike.

00:14:28.000 So as we talk about more civil unrest and civil disobedience here in the United States, listen, China and Russia, who are becoming closer and closer together, we have the military capability to stop either one, not both.

00:14:42.000 Well, I guess the fear is that if the U.S.

00:14:45.000 becomes distracted, China moves in on Taiwan, or there have been some experts who have argued that China will adopt the Russia strategy on Taiwan and use pressure, control, manipulation, propaganda, and just slowly eat away at it until they can take Taiwan.

00:14:59.000 I feel like the Americans, a lot of Americans are still in the mindset of the B-52, the age of the B-52, the war of the B-52 bomber.

00:15:06.000 Like it's not, we're not the dominant force anymore.

00:15:08.000 There's lasers that can blow up everything from everywhere.

00:15:10.000 Anyone thinks that we got the biggest balls on the planet are living in 1970.

00:15:17.000 So you actually saw Trump one time was like, we have the best generals.

00:15:21.000 We can win any. 0.98

00:15:21.000 And you see the generals like, shut up, dude. 0.98

00:15:24.000 Stop. 0.99

00:15:25.000 Don't make us like, don't put us out there as like this, this militant.

00:15:30.000 But do we really have the best generals?

00:15:31.000 No, no, no, we don't.

00:15:32.000 We don't.

00:15:33.000 And we don't have the best military either.

00:15:34.000 All these militaries are equally destructive at this point.

00:15:37.000 Well, at least the Chinese, Russian and American militaries.

00:15:40.000 If anyone of those wants to wipe the planet clean, they could do it.

00:15:42.000 For the 11 aircraft carriers currently floating around the world, we own all of them but one.

00:15:47.000 Except how many nuclear submarines are there that we don't see.

00:15:51.000 To think that we're the best because it looks like we're the best is really disconcerting.

00:15:55.000 That's a good point.

00:15:56.000 I'm a little biased because I served.

00:15:59.000 I think we are the best.

00:16:01.000 Not only... And the reason why I think we are the best now is because we... When I was in, having a patch on your left shoulder was very rare.

00:16:09.000 It came from Vietnam.

00:16:12.000 Now, if you don't have one, it's an oddity.

00:16:16.000 We are battle-hardened and tested.

00:16:19.000 These are not just high school kids just going in and going through just training, but actually going through the rigors of war.

00:16:28.000 And I think it's a good point, Ian.

00:16:30.000 We don't know.

00:16:31.000 We can only make assumptions about the capabilities of these other countries because they're not going to tell us.

00:16:37.000 But the same could be said for the United States.

00:16:38.000 So for now, what we know is we don't know what China secretly got because it's a secret.

00:16:43.000 We don't know what Russia secretly has because it's a secret.

00:16:45.000 We don't know what the U.S. 0.74

00:16:46.000 has because it's a secret as well.

00:16:47.000 But the U.S.

00:16:48.000 on top of that has 11 aircraft carriers out there.

00:16:50.000 And doesn't the U.S.

00:16:51.000 have like 20 or something like that?

00:16:52.000 Well, so the largest air force in the world is United States Air Force, and then the second largest is United States Navy.

00:17:00.000 Air power.

00:17:02.000 And I'll just make one more point, sorry.

00:17:05.000 We can see with satellites when other countries are building weapons.

00:17:09.000 Because we can see shipping lanes, we can see the movement of resources.

00:17:12.000 I can't remember who was talking to us about this.

00:17:14.000 They were saying like, you know, we would know If these other countries were building warships or advanced technology because of the massive amount of manpower and resources to move all this stuff.

00:17:25.000 When it came to the Manhattan Project, we didn't have spy satellites or anything like that.

00:17:30.000 So when blasts were going off, sensors were picking things up, but the Russians, they couldn't. 1.00

00:17:35.000 I'm sorry, this is during World War II.

00:17:38.000 Axis powers were just like, hmm, what's happening? 0.76

00:17:40.000 throughout the Cold War with all the nuclear testing, it was espionage. You'd like physically

00:17:45.000 go. Now we got satellites up there just watching everybody.

00:17:47.000 They can read your license plates.

00:17:49.000 So we can see everything. Plus we have AI tracking all this stuff. And it'll be like,

00:17:53.000 we've noticed a large deposit of iron being shipped underground for some reason. And then

00:17:57.000 the US is going to be like, we know something's being built there.

00:17:59.000 Well, and the key is not simply to have the best or the well-trained,

00:18:03.000 but you have to have them in position to win. Right?

00:18:07.000 This is why we don't want to.

00:18:08.000 I mean, I thought Larry Sharp was, you know, that was awesome yesterday.

00:18:13.000 Great ideas.

00:18:14.000 But to get out of NATO?

00:18:16.000 That would be a mistake.

00:18:18.000 You have to have the force in position or it's basically not going to be able to react.

00:18:26.000 I think ground forces and now we're in the age of intercontinental ballistic missiles and rods from God, tungsten rods dropping from orbit, like position.

00:18:33.000 We're all in position now to get destroyed.

00:18:37.000 But that hasn't changed.

00:18:38.000 I mean, it's been that way for a long time.

00:18:41.000 Literally since what, the late 90s or something?

00:18:44.000 But we're fighting warfare with sanctions right now.

00:18:46.000 So Biden's like, I'm going to sanction these rich guys because they want to put pressure on these ultra wealthy individuals who are like, hey man, I like flying on planes and eating, you know, steaks in New York City.

00:18:55.000 Don't sanction me.

00:18:56.000 And then they're hoping that influence will trickle down and cause some change.

00:18:59.000 I think if we if the U.S.

00:19:01.000 got embroiled, it'd be like the power grid gets blown up and then they cut off all their oil from from Europe and Asia.

00:19:08.000 And then America's done for like if the power goes.

00:19:12.000 I don't know.

00:19:12.000 It feels like so vulnerable.

00:19:13.000 Everyone acts so tough and like we do have great troops and we have we used to have the best technology.

00:19:18.000 But now.

00:19:19.000 Well, don't get me wrong.

00:19:20.000 I'm certainly not advocating for any of it, but I'm going to defend my brothers in arms also.

00:19:25.000 Well, let me ask you guys.

00:19:28.000 If the president came out and said, we need to build wind farms, solar power, so that we can have sufficient energy in the event of war.

00:19:40.000 Do you think people would be like, oh, that sounds good to me?

00:19:42.000 Or do you think they'd be like, no, no war.

00:19:44.000 Don't do it.

00:19:45.000 Raytheon would be like, that's a great idea.

00:19:47.000 Let's start building solar panels. 0.76

00:19:49.000 But isn't that the appropriate, you know, you've got the climate change left and you've got the energy independent loving right.

00:19:56.000 Couldn't they just be like, we're going to be energy independent so that no one can screw with us.

00:20:00.000 Hey, the climate change left wins on this one.

00:20:03.000 The right, you know, we see the market energy independence.

00:20:05.000 We went on this one.

00:20:06.000 It seems like unity there.

00:20:08.000 No, and there should be because that's the grid.

00:20:11.000 Our electrical grid is one of the most insecure part of our infrastructure.

00:20:15.000 You know, we have an investor of ours in Fortitude Ranch.

00:20:20.000 His name is David Tyson.

00:20:21.000 He's putting out a documentary on this, and it's really excellent.

00:20:25.000 I was able to get a sneak peek, and it's griddowndoc.com.

00:20:32.000 You can actually go and see the trailer, and he's going to be putting this out.

00:20:36.000 Phenomenal job!

00:20:37.000 He actually has a booth at the upcoming CPAC this Saturday, and so he's looking to launch that.

00:20:44.000 And it was so well done to show exactly how vulnerable we are.

00:20:51.000 We have to, I just heard it too, a couple news outlets picked it up, not about his documentary, but about this fact.

00:20:59.000 Because of the possibility this thing gets out of hand, that's our weakest point.

00:21:06.000 And when that happens, I'm sorry, that's going to bring in the most serious crisis of our time and the possible collapse.

00:21:13.000 And it'll be a cyber attack.

00:21:14.000 And it will start with cyber.

00:21:15.000 Yeah, we talked about, before the show we were talking about this, and I mentioned driving down the street and I saw a big power plant just there.

00:21:21.000 I was like, that's the most vulnerable.

00:21:23.000 Absolutely.

00:21:24.000 And then you would mention, well, dad, but that's not even the cyber aspect of it.

00:21:26.000 That's just the physical blunt trauma you could inflict on the power grid locally.

00:21:30.000 And think about sleeper cells, right?

00:21:33.000 So if somebody's really looking to destabilize us and things get out of hand there, that is going to be targeted.

00:21:41.000 It surprises me that it hasn't happened yet.

00:21:43.000 Do you think that that's because they're planning a big one?

00:21:45.000 Well, you got to hold your horse.

00:21:46.000 I was about to say something.

00:21:47.000 That's something you're going to enjoy.

00:21:48.000 Thanks, Tim.

00:21:50.000 There was this moment during the Trump presidency where Trump ordered an airstrike on Iranian targets.

00:21:57.000 Abruptly, Donald Trump ordered the airstrike off.

00:22:00.000 Told him, turn around, come back home.

00:22:02.000 And when asked why, he said, I asked how many people were down there.

00:22:06.000 They said 500.

00:22:06.000 And I said, it didn't make sense to kill that many people in this strike.

00:22:09.000 So we called it off.

00:22:11.000 But one thing I noticed, and it could be totally unrelated, was that from the point where the airstrike was deployed, in that moment, I believe it was some kind of oil refinery in Philadelphia, exploded for some reason.

00:22:24.000 Now I asked a bunch of my cyber security and white hat hacker buddies and they said they didn't think in any way it was related.

00:22:31.000 And I said, is that because you don't have evidence or because you think it's impossible?

00:22:34.000 And they were like, well, I have no reason to believe it.

00:22:37.000 Sometimes these accidents happen.

00:22:39.000 But it's certainly possible.

00:22:41.000 And so I, again, there's no evidence to suggest this is the case, but is it possible that Trump ordered an airstrike and Iran said, blow up a reactor and blow up a refinery in Philadelphia?

00:22:51.000 Did.

00:22:52.000 Then they rushed to Trump and they said, they're holding our facilities hostage.

00:22:56.000 You need to call this off before we get decimated from a cyber attack.

00:23:01.000 One thing I can tell you is that Industrial control systems in the U.S.

00:23:04.000 are extremely vulnerable to cyber attacks because a lot of them were built in the 70s.

00:23:10.000 They use these archaic and ancient operating systems.

00:23:13.000 They're being updated, obviously, and security is a big issue.

00:23:16.000 But man, some of the people that I've talked to who work in the security areas of this stuff have just been like, it's like a few lines of basic code can blow up this facility.

00:23:25.000 Stuxnet.

00:23:26.000 This is from malicious computer.

00:23:28.000 You've heard of this stuff.

00:23:29.000 Malicious computer worm first uncovered in 2010 and thought to have been developed since at least 2005.

00:23:34.000 It targets supervisory control and data acquisition systems and is believed to be responsible for causing substantial damage to the nuclear program of Iran.

00:23:42.000 Now, if we did that to Iran, I'm not, I wouldn't be shocked if Iran did that back. 1.00

00:23:46.000 And I think it was the US and Israel working together on the weapon. 0.80

00:23:50.000 And then what it did was it caused the nuclear centrifuges to not stop.

00:23:54.000 So then they eventually overheated and blew up.

00:23:57.000 There's just one that we've uncovered, Stuxnet.

00:23:59.000 There's probably tons of those.

00:24:00.000 I think it was because someone found Stuxnet infecting home computers or something.

00:24:04.000 I could be wrong about that.

00:24:06.000 Well, and so we got the information from the Israelis, the specifics, and that's why we knew exactly how the functioning inner workings were with the pumps and the different things that work the controlling mechanisms.

00:24:17.000 And so we went to the heart.

00:24:18.000 I see.

00:24:19.000 So we figured out how it worked, then we wrote code to disrupt how it worked.

00:24:22.000 It was specifically written to do that one thing.

00:24:26.000 It's crazy.

00:24:27.000 And so my understanding is that people, their regular computers got infected with Stuxnet, but it didn't matter because it has zero effect on your home computer.

00:24:36.000 It was just infecting everything until it found those specific, you know, controls, those machines.

00:24:43.000 For five years until it was all covered.

00:24:45.000 And then it blew them up.

00:24:45.000 And that was like, wow.

00:24:47.000 Okay, so.

00:24:47.000 And it's not the only one.

00:24:48.000 There's been a bunch of weapons that have been developed that have been, I think a couple, I can't remember the names.

00:24:54.000 And that's years ago, right?

00:24:55.000 Right.

00:24:55.000 Yeah, it was like 10 years ago.

00:24:56.000 So imagine, imagine what's there now, what's out there.

00:24:59.000 I went to, there's conventions, there's two of them, DEFCON and Black Hat, the hacker conventions in Las Vegas.

00:25:05.000 This is 10 years ago, mind you.

00:25:06.000 But I saw these hackers explain very easily how to blow up pump stations.

00:25:12.000 They were like, you name it, oil, water, any kind of chemical.

00:25:16.000 And they did a demonstration where they showed the industrial control system.

00:25:19.000 They showed it operate.

00:25:20.000 And then the guy said, I'm not going to enter our code.

00:25:24.000 And then all of a sudden, they put a pressure release valve, but what they did was they told the system to force pressure in the same direction so the pressure collides and builds up in one spot and causes a pipe to explode.

00:25:37.000 They put a pressure release valve on it so that it sprays across the room and they catch it in a picture and water sprays everywhere.

00:25:42.000 They were like, imagine if we didn't have that release valve for the purpose of the demonstration, the pipe would over pressurize and blow up.

00:25:48.000 Another thing they showed us was that they said for nuclear reactor cooling systems, There's the computer needs to know the temperature of the water.

00:25:56.000 They said, only a few lines of code and we change the temperature to say it's colder than it is.

00:26:02.000 Overheats and explodes.

00:26:03.000 That's or melts down, you know, disrupts the system.

00:26:06.000 If we're wargaming this worst case scenario or bad case scenario, there's conflict.

00:26:12.000 Someone wants to invade the country and then they blow out the grid, the electric grid, with a virus.

00:26:17.000 I don't know, would it take up the entire grid?

00:26:19.000 Is there like a backup plan?

00:26:20.000 And I don't even know if you're the guy that knows the answers to this, Steve, but I'm asking you.

00:26:22.000 Well, you know, it's broken down into segments, right?

00:26:27.000 So there's four basic hubs of where this work and how it would affect it.

00:26:33.000 All are not so intertwined that you could take it all at once.

00:26:38.000 But then you have the whole spectrum of an EMP, right?

00:26:41.000 If we ever get to that day, which would just completely fry multiples.

00:26:47.000 Because if you'd have to do it at airburst, you wouldn't want it to hit the ground because that wouldn't have the same effect.

00:26:52.000 But doing it as an airburst, then it would really be a problem.

00:26:56.000 I think solar flares can cause that too.

00:26:58.000 Yeah, to a degree.

00:26:59.000 We haven't seen them, you know, the magnitude of them would have to be much more than what we normally see.

00:27:03.000 So let's do this.

00:27:04.000 Let's start from the beginning of where we are with this war stuff.

00:27:08.000 All right.

00:27:08.000 The story from the Daily Mail.

00:27:09.000 Biden sanctions Putin's spy chief, his deputy chief of staff and multi-millionaire Russian military bank CEO.

00:27:15.000 President hits Kremlin inner circle and deploys more troops after slamming Russian leader for thinking he has a right to claim parts of Ukraine.

00:27:23.000 So I guess today Russia kind of upped the ante and said, you know, we're going to occupy the entirety of these regions, even the parts that are controlled by Ukraine, because they're saying they're independent states.

00:27:34.000 Biden, of course, comes out and responds.

00:27:36.000 Putin, I guess, what did he say that he was in a meeting and didn't bother watching what Biden had to say?

00:27:41.000 Didn't hear it.

00:27:43.000 This is the first domino.

00:27:45.000 Sanctions on specific people.

00:27:47.000 It has to escalate beyond this if we're going to see any of this crazy war stuff we've been talking about.

00:27:53.000 So I guess right now, if this is what we're seeing, you know, Russia is putting troops in Ukraine.

00:27:59.000 Do you see a strong possibility, Steve, of it escalating beyond just sanctions?

00:28:04.000 Yes, because they've already been claiming that the Ukrainians were shelling the separatists, which there's no proof of that.

00:28:15.000 I don't know if you've seen the articles, but the separatists have been shelling into Ukraine.

00:28:23.000 That we know for sure.

00:28:24.000 We've seen the sides of kindergarten buildings with, you know, the hole in it.

00:28:29.000 So again, we have all the propaganda.

00:28:32.000 Gander going on from both sides, right?

00:28:34.000 But now you have actual Russian troops that you can say are being shelled.

00:28:41.000 And if actual Russian troops are killed and they blame it on the Ukrainians, now we've just tipped another domino.

00:28:48.000 It's amazing.

00:28:49.000 You can invade a country and then if you get shelled while you're invading, you blame it on the defenders.

00:28:55.000 No, exactly.

00:28:55.000 Right?

00:28:56.000 That's crazy.

00:28:57.000 And look, we have people in the chat who are saying things like, oh, but they're independent regions, they have a right to declare independence.

00:29:04.000 And so the question is, did these regions really declare independence?

00:29:08.000 So here's where it gets a little bit sketchy.

00:29:11.000 And what I mean is, if you can understand what happened when the Soviet Union took over, they Russified all of the occupation countries that they were in. 0.74

00:29:22.000 And so you had generations and generations that, while they understood their heritage, they sort of felt Russian.

00:29:28.000 And it wasn't all that bad.

00:29:31.000 And then as the Soviet Union breaks down, and so they retreat back to the motherland, Russia proper, you get these generations who still have a kindred spirit.

00:29:45.000 With the Russians. 0.98

00:29:47.000 And so that's what you're finding along the eastern border there with Ukraine.

00:29:51.000 So the reason they're doing it this way, these are Russian-speaking people.

00:29:55.000 This is what they speak every day.

00:29:57.000 As you start getting closer and closer to Kiev, as you keep going more to the west, they stop speaking Russian and they start speaking Ukrainian.

00:30:05.000 Right.

00:30:06.000 In Kiev, though, a lot of people speak both languages.

00:30:08.000 So, like, when I would go to visit Lithuania from Belarus, They so do not like the Russians that it's offensive to talk to them in Russian.

00:30:08.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:30:19.000 But if they didn't know English, I had to fall back on my Russian in order for us to communicate.

00:30:25.000 But they'd be like, I hate to do this, but they would speak Russian with me.

00:30:29.000 And so you get this.

00:30:30.000 But that's because they were ran over, right?

00:30:32.000 I mean, the people who are in a bad way now are the Baltic states, because Putin has just annexed Belarus.

00:30:40.000 I mean, there are articles about this, but nobody realized how important that is.

00:30:45.000 Troops are never leaving Belarus again.

00:30:48.000 So Russian troops in Belarus?

00:30:51.000 That's how they're going to attack from the north, if it would ever happen. 0.60

00:30:54.000 And this is actually what puts Kiev in such a very serious, harmful way.

00:31:02.000 You want to know what really trips out Americans, I find?

00:31:06.000 Kaliningrad.

00:31:07.000 Oh yeah.

00:31:08.000 Isn't that unbelievable?

00:31:09.000 Cool.

00:31:09.000 But now that gives you- Let me show you, let me show you.

00:31:12.000 Kaliningrad is south of Lithuania and north of Poland.

00:31:16.000 It's an enclave, right?

00:31:17.000 Yeah, it's Russia.

00:31:20.000 It's a Russian enclave.

00:31:21.000 Piece of Russia. 0.75

00:31:22.000 Right there in the Baltic Sea.

00:31:24.000 And so if you're looking, we got Moscow, we got Russia here, we got Belarus, we got Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania.

00:31:29.000 And then most people don't know this.

00:31:30.000 You show them a map and you ask them, hey, look at this.

00:31:32.000 Right?

00:31:32.000 When it's like, there's no word here.

00:31:35.000 It's just this little carve out.

00:31:36.000 What is that?

00:31:37.000 And the people are like, it's Russia.

00:31:39.000 Wait, what?

00:31:39.000 It's Russia.

00:31:40.000 Kaliningrad.

00:31:41.000 And that's very militarized.

00:31:44.000 I mean, that's its only real purpose, right?

00:31:46.000 And now by staying in Belarus, you now give air cover to Kaliningrad.

00:31:51.000 This is a fun little factoid, though, for Americans who don't know their European geography, because I don't expect Americans to, for the most part.

00:31:57.000 There is a piece of Russia in between the Baltic states.

00:32:02.000 Yeah.

00:32:03.000 This is kind of what started World War II.

00:32:05.000 Hitler, part of Germany, was split off and given to Poland.

00:32:09.000 Was it the Sudetenland, I think?

00:32:10.000 Or was that Czechoslovakia, part of Czechoslovakia?

00:32:13.000 I couldn't.

00:32:13.000 There's part of Germany was cut off and given and so he invaded to take it back.

00:32:17.000 Like if the Russians invaded Lithuania to connect this area to Russia, you would see like similar to what Hitler did. 0.93

00:32:26.000 Well, if they're occupying Belarus, I mean, what is this?

00:32:29.000 Is Belarus very pro-Russia?

00:32:32.000 No, no.

00:32:32.000 So here's the backstory to this.

00:32:34.000 Their president, Alexander Lukashenko, has been the thorn in the side of Putin for many, many years.

00:32:40.000 He used to play this game.

00:32:42.000 He would go and look towards the West, make him mad, but look for IMF money.

00:32:47.000 And then when he got what he wanted, he would go back to Putin.

00:32:53.000 And then he'd give them all kinds of hassle over that pipeline coming through Belarus, right?

00:32:58.000 And they get such a discount for the fact that that pipeline goes through there.

00:33:04.000 He literally called him the fly on a cutlet, which is like a piece of meat.

00:33:10.000 It's a meat patty in Russian.

00:33:12.000 And he's like, you're just a fly on a piece of meat. 0.78

00:33:15.000 But he was a thorn.

00:33:17.000 Well, his last election, he could not handle the protests after it was widespread corruption.

00:33:26.000 Everybody knew it.

00:33:27.000 They peacefully demonstrated like they'd never done before.

00:33:30.000 He couldn't squelch it.

00:33:32.000 He called in Russian security forces.

00:33:35.000 They helped him to put down that.

00:33:37.000 And his payment now is they're staying.

00:33:41.000 Wow.

00:33:42.000 So it's an unofficial annexation.

00:33:43.000 Exactly.

00:33:44.000 But they are going there is they're going to next month vote to no longer become neutral, which is huge.

00:33:52.000 They have signed a pact saying they would help the Russians fight the Ukrainians never done that before. 0.81

00:33:58.000 And everything is changing.

00:34:00.000 And now that puts pressure on the Baltics gives air cover for Kaliningrad.

00:34:05.000 And then that now gives you a really quick path down to Kiev.

00:34:08.000 But are they?

00:34:09.000 I can't believe Russia's going to move into Kiev.

00:34:12.000 Oh, no, no.

00:34:13.000 I honestly don't think so.

00:34:14.000 I saw these reports where they're saying, you know, it's like the U.S.

00:34:17.000 intelligence agencies are telling journalists, like, we believe Russia will occupy Kiev and start hunting down Zelensky supporters.

00:34:23.000 He's the president of Ukraine.

00:34:24.000 I'm like, that's no way.

00:34:27.000 I don't want to have optimism bias or normalcy bias to say the war can't happen, but that's a bit extreme.

00:34:32.000 No, honestly, yeah.

00:34:34.000 But of course, you've got to start playing the, if it does happen, we talked about it, right?

00:34:38.000 So you've got to look good in case it does.

00:34:39.000 So they're giving all this and interestingly enough, they're preemptively trying to say what he's going to do.

00:34:48.000 So it makes you put you in a better position.

00:34:51.000 Yo, I feel so bad for Ukraine, man.

00:34:53.000 Oh, I know.

00:34:54.000 When the Euromaidan protests broke out, I got sent there.

00:34:58.000 I went to go report there.

00:34:59.000 I was working for Vice at the time.

00:35:00.000 I met a lot of really cool people.

00:35:02.000 A friend of mine's from Kiev.

00:35:04.000 And good food, awesome architecture, good people.

00:35:07.000 I really enjoyed my time there.

00:35:08.000 And then you see how the history of this country is just being brutalized throughout the Soviet Union, the Holodomor. 0.84

00:35:15.000 And you mentioned the Russification of the East.

00:35:17.000 It's like, well, yeah, they starved out the Ukrainians. 0.99

00:35:20.000 and stole their food and the breadbasket of Europe.

00:35:24.000 Yeah, I mean, some of the most fertile farmland.

00:35:26.000 Absolutely.

00:35:27.000 I think it's crying shame.

00:35:28.000 I mean, I would imagine if he goes past this, he needs a land bridge to Crimea.

00:35:33.000 That really helps you.

00:35:35.000 So if it's going to no matter how he what he's looking to do.

00:35:39.000 I've heard a different analysis from different experts.

00:35:43.000 And I agree, I don't remember who it was, but basically taking one third of Ukraine would probably be the smartest thing to do and wouldn't trip it into a full third world war. 0.64

00:35:55.000 You get the Russian speaking, you get your land bridge down to Crimea, and then you're all set for whatever you want to do next.

00:36:03.000 But do you think he'll go as far as Kharkiv?

00:36:05.000 I really don't think so.

00:36:08.000 But honestly, you can't.

00:36:10.000 Not a very easy person to predict, other than we've seen the pattern over and over again, right?

00:36:15.000 Of taking some slowly, and then backing off.

00:36:19.000 So that when you get to the negotiations, this has to stop.

00:36:22.000 And we know from the leaked emails through the State Department, they're already willing to tell them, we won't put certain military units in certain areas.

00:36:32.000 He's already got them on the defensive, right?

00:36:34.000 So it's working.

00:36:35.000 I feel like he actually is easy to predict, Putin.

00:36:38.000 He seems like a stable military leader with Secret Service.

00:36:43.000 He's not going to take too much too fast.

00:36:45.000 He knows that he doesn't want to be seen as a warmonger.

00:36:48.000 I don't think that Putin is going to be the guy that gets us into any kind of world conflict.

00:36:52.000 It would be a response to that, if anything.

00:36:54.000 He's too smart.

00:36:55.000 He doesn't want to destroy stuff.

00:36:56.000 It would take a miscalculation.

00:36:58.000 I would agree with you with that assessment.

00:37:03.000 It would take a miscalculation.

00:37:04.000 Yeah.

00:37:06.000 And that's really what the fear is here.

00:37:08.000 A miscalculation.

00:37:09.000 I love Putin's part.

00:37:09.000 Unfortunately smart and in control of his faculties.

00:37:13.000 A stray missile.

00:37:14.000 I'll tell you what freaks me out with this Ukraine story with Russia. 0.60

00:37:20.000 Ian just mentioned the Sudetenland.

00:37:22.000 Hitler kept going saying, look, these areas were historically German or the people there are being oppressed and they're German people, so we're going to move in.

00:37:31.000 And what we got from the UK or from Europe, Neville Chamberlain famously, was appeasement over and over and over again as this psychopath was not only killing tons of people or was planning to, uh... was

00:37:45.000 convading other countries and then trying to just basically take over

00:37:49.000 outs out are you asking for the world or you know claim as much land as possible

00:37:53.000 will it would let me put his done with with uh... cramia and now we're looking at what he's doing with uh... the down

00:38:00.000 past region if he really does go for a third of the country he's got a

00:38:03.000 move in further It's not just going to be the Donbass region, it's a small portion, right?

00:38:07.000 No, right.

00:38:07.000 So you'd go south and you'd go north.

00:38:09.000 He'd cut down.

00:38:10.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:38:11.000 You want to connect those borders.

00:38:12.000 So you want to meet up with Belarus there because now you've already annexed it to one degree and then you want to go down and make the connection to Crimea.

00:38:20.000 I mean, that looks like more like half the country.

00:38:22.000 If he goes from Belarus all the way down to Crimea. 0.55

00:38:24.000 No, I'm not.

00:38:24.000 I'm just saying where you have that land bridge.

00:38:26.000 So you just, you want to have the ability then to move supplies.

00:38:30.000 It's about supply lines.

00:38:31.000 Right.

00:38:32.000 And so you've... Are we, is Joe Biden, or Neville Chamberlain, is he going to sit back and be like, oh, you know, look, we're going to... What did he say in that speech?

00:38:42.000 He was like, you know, it depends on if it's a minor incursion, right?

00:38:48.000 Yeah, that seemed like a gaffe.

00:38:49.000 I don't think that was what he was on the list for him to say.

00:38:56.000 It's possible it could have been a signal that, you know, this much would be acceptable, right?

00:39:03.000 I think it was a gaffe, but I think he said the quiet part loud.

00:39:08.000 I think Joe Biden and, you know, the State Department, they said, we can tolerate a minor incursion.

00:39:13.000 We can't do more than that.

00:39:14.000 And Biden blurted it out on national TV and Putin went, really?

00:39:17.000 Right.

00:39:18.000 OK.

00:39:18.000 Because it doesn't change things to too much of a degree because those areas were already occupied.

00:39:25.000 Right.

00:39:26.000 They say they don't have Russian troops there, but they have Russian mercenaries, which are just guys straight out of the military going there.

00:39:34.000 I mean, special forces all in there.

00:39:37.000 You know, you just don't wear the uniform, right?

00:39:39.000 Just like they did in Crimea. 0.66

00:39:43.000 Well, it does change things because from what we're talking about, this is literally an invasion because you're breaking away international laws, precedences, and going across sovereign border.

00:39:56.000 But he already built the case that that's not true.

00:39:59.000 They asked for independence.

00:40:02.000 We recognize it.

00:40:05.000 But what's the point?

00:40:07.000 It's kind of silly that Putin is like, well, they're independent states and they've asked for help.

00:40:11.000 It's like, who believes you?

00:40:12.000 The people who already side with you?

00:40:14.000 His people.

00:40:14.000 Yeah, the Russians believe him.

00:40:16.000 A bunch of them do.

00:40:17.000 Is that really the issue, though?

00:40:18.000 He's trying to generate popular support within Russia?

00:40:21.000 No, but you've got to be able to say your boldface lie with a straight face.

00:40:25.000 Yeah.

00:40:26.000 Right?

00:40:26.000 So you have to have some argument.

00:40:28.000 That's true, I guess if he didn't have that, he'd be telling the people of his own country, we are just trampling over other countries.

00:40:36.000 Yeah, but more importantly, the UN Security Council.

00:40:39.000 That's where you gotta be able to do it.

00:40:40.000 But do they really believe it?

00:40:42.000 No, but it doesn't matter.

00:40:44.000 Because he can, and in a way it is justified.

00:40:49.000 So thinking back to, the one thing he really can truly say is, That NATO is really encroaching on his border, right?

00:40:59.000 And I mean, he can say that.

00:41:01.000 There's truth in that.

00:41:02.000 Now, if you put yourself in Russian shoes, you don't want NATO as any closer to you than possibly they can, right?

00:41:10.000 And so, granted that, but to go about it in this way, I mean, obviously is The only way he feels he can't accomplish the buffer that he's looking for, and he's looking for a buffer.

00:41:21.000 You think it's really that?

00:41:23.000 I mean, with Crimea, it's because they have a military base there.

00:41:27.000 Isn't that what the reason was?

00:41:28.000 Well, yeah.

00:41:29.000 Well, they just... Naval base.

00:41:30.000 Right.

00:41:30.000 So now they have all of what they didn't have as far as naval infrastructure.

00:41:35.000 And so, and of course, listen, all you have to do is pull up A map of the pipelines leaving Russia, and it makes complete sense of everything that's going on as well.

00:41:46.000 I mean, at the end of the day, that's what it's all about.

00:41:49.000 Ukraine?

00:41:50.000 The pipelines running through Ukraine?

00:41:51.000 Oh yeah, one of the biggest.

00:41:52.000 So you have another one going through Belarus.

00:41:56.000 And like I told you, Alexander Lukashenko was such a big thorn.

00:41:59.000 Now that thorn's gone.

00:42:02.000 And at the end of the day, this is the only way he truly can stay equal with NATO.

00:42:07.000 It's through the resources that they're all dependent on.

00:42:10.000 So he has a plan for the Nordstrom deal or else he wouldn't be doing this either.

00:42:15.000 So Crimea is basically a way to get oil out of Russia.

00:42:19.000 Yeah, well it gives you the ports, but it also gave you now a southern route of attack.

00:42:23.000 Yeah.

00:42:24.000 And it's a phenomenal position for a world war.

00:42:28.000 Crimea and the Baltic, is that the Baltic Sea?

00:42:30.000 The Black Sea.

00:42:31.000 Oh my gosh, what an amazing position.

00:42:33.000 But that's their only warm water port, right?

00:42:35.000 Right, yeah.

00:42:35.000 So they, when, with NATO moving in on Ukraine, and this is one of the big issues pertaining to the Euromaidan movement, Yanukovych being ousted.

00:42:45.000 Oh yeah.

00:42:45.000 Ukraine trying to join NATO or align with the European Union, whatever it was, Russia's

00:42:50.000 thinking we'll lose Crimea and we need that access.

00:42:55.000 So they said we're going to take it now or forever hold our peace.

00:42:58.000 So then a referendum was held in Crimea and they all voted to join Russia.

00:43:01.000 Oh yeah.

00:43:02.000 There you go.

00:43:03.000 Is that simple?

00:43:04.000 I mean, and that's the thing.

00:43:06.000 So if Zelensky wasn't there, we wouldn't be going through this because he is clearly pro-West.

00:43:13.000 He is looking to get into NATO.

00:43:16.000 NATO's not really that interested because they understand the consequences.

00:43:20.000 And being realistic, they understand he does need a buffer.

00:43:24.000 I mean, both sides understand that.

00:43:27.000 But if, like the former president there in Ukraine, if he would have been Russian-leaning, we wouldn't be looking at him.

00:43:34.000 But wasn't Yanukovych Russian-leaning?

00:43:35.000 Yes.

00:43:36.000 And then he fled to Russia after he got ousted.

00:43:38.000 So what people got to understand is when we have these conversations, it's always from an American perspective.

00:43:44.000 The Russian perspective is more that the U.S.

00:43:46.000 is orchestrating an ousting of Yanukovych to put in pro-Western leaders.

00:43:51.000 They do the same thing with Syria.

00:43:52.000 I'd say it's probably half true.

00:43:54.000 You gotta cut through the propaganda and then figure out what's really going on.

00:43:59.000 And the view of a lot of these people is that the protests in Ukraine were supported by the West to try and get rid of a guy who was more favorable towards Russia, or at the very least was kind of playing that game where he was like, what are you gonna give me?

00:44:13.000 What are you gonna give me, you know?

00:44:15.000 We do it all over the world.

00:44:15.000 Oh, absolutely.

00:44:16.000 We've been doing it forever.

00:44:18.000 I mean, every side does this.

00:44:21.000 It is kind of funny, though, that now Russia is playing this game and America, you know, Joe Biden's like, how dare you?

00:44:28.000 And Putin's probably going like, bro, he's like, you've been playing this game well longer than I have.

00:44:33.000 You know, now I do it, you get mad about it?

00:44:35.000 Well, yeah, we do.

00:44:36.000 I guess.

00:44:37.000 So it's tough.

00:44:39.000 You know, what moral pedestal does the United States have to stand on when Russia's playing the same game other than, we are powerful and we can tell you not to do it? 0.66

00:44:49.000 No, it's very difficult.

00:44:51.000 And again, honestly, I'm no fan of this current administration, right?

00:44:56.000 I mean, as an organization, we're apolitical because we deal with threats.

00:45:00.000 We don't deal with who's causing the threat, right?

00:45:03.000 There has to be a realization of that.

00:45:05.000 But if you're looking to analyze this thing, you can't take the past actions and allow it To warp you to not see something for what it is.

00:45:16.000 So I agree the whole thing about the border, but it really doesn't have anything to do with the truth of why we shouldn't not, uh, not be in NATO, and why there isn't a reason for us to at least be making sure that this doesn't spread.

00:45:29.000 I think you made a great point, though.

00:45:31.000 The southern border policy Is to be weak.

00:45:36.000 That is it.

00:45:37.000 It's by design.

00:45:38.000 So when people are coming out and they're being like, why aren't we defending our own borders?

00:45:41.000 It's like, well, that's the opposite of what they want.

00:45:43.000 Right.

00:45:43.000 They absolutely don't want it, right?

00:45:46.000 That's a proven fact now.

00:45:48.000 Yeah.

00:45:49.000 Well, that just says to me that I think, you know, Ian's talking about this global, what do you call it?

00:45:55.000 Liberal economic order?

00:45:56.000 Liberal economic order.

00:45:57.000 I guess some people call it the Davos Group or the Great Reset of the World Economic Forum.

00:46:01.000 1946 is when they formed the liberal economic order, right after World War II.

00:46:05.000 When you have an administration that tells Canada, you know, the Biden administration, hey, use emergency powers, crack down to an extreme degree, and they do, when you have an administration that says our policy is for the southern U.S.

00:46:17.000 border to be just Completely open.

00:46:19.000 And then we're going to go defend and worry about Russia and Ukraine.

00:46:23.000 It just sends a hard signal.

00:46:23.000 Yeah.

00:46:25.000 I understand why we care.

00:46:26.000 You know, we don't want this thing spiraling out of control.

00:46:30.000 But it certainly just seems like Biden's priority is not America.

00:46:34.000 All right.

00:46:34.000 So it's frustrating.

00:46:36.000 But I guess, you know, I guess I would just say don't become so jaded that you don't, you simply because you don't like what's going on in the border, you don't realize the importance of Ukraine.

00:46:36.000 Right.

00:46:47.000 That's all I'm saying.

00:46:48.000 Keep it, keep, keep one separate from the other because they are two separate things.

00:46:53.000 And while one may really frustrate you and don't underestimate the importance of what's going on.

00:47:01.000 I wonder though, just one last thought on all of this.

00:47:05.000 What's the probability you think this could spiral into a greater conflict beyond just this region?

00:47:11.000 The possibility definitely exists.

00:47:13.000 I don't think that would be the plan in the immediate, um, but I don't think it's ever the plan, right?

00:47:21.000 Well, the plan is, you know, and has been take Crimea, subjugate Belarus, get portions of Ukraine.

00:47:30.000 He's clearly had this plan, been working on it for a little while.

00:47:33.000 It's all coming to fruition because there is no, uh, There is really nothing we can do but to try to keep it from spiraling, right?

00:47:43.000 If he wants it, he can take it.

00:47:45.000 No one's saying otherwise.

00:47:49.000 The Ukrainian forces cannot stop the initial assault.

00:47:53.000 Now, they can become partisans and turn this into a guerrilla-type warfare, true, and that's more probably what he doesn't want than anything.

00:48:03.000 He wants to topple this government, though.

00:48:05.000 He wants Zelensky out.

00:48:08.000 And he'll do that by any means, and the fact is, has he calculated right or hasn't he?

00:48:14.000 I'll say, you know, I see two potentials.

00:48:18.000 When we look back at what Germany did, as again to reference what Ian said, the Sudetenlands, and the appeasement.

00:48:26.000 That was only, the war that broke out was one potential of what could have happened.

00:48:31.000 And we look back on history and we say, look at what Germany did, it led to war, therefore these things lead to war.

00:48:37.000 It's not necessarily true.

00:48:39.000 That time it did.

00:48:40.000 In this instance, we could sit back and just appease and try and placate, come out and say, peace in our time, whatever nonsense, and maybe Vladimir Putin will take the Donbass region and just stop.

00:48:51.000 There's no guarantee that actually turns into World War III.

00:48:54.000 But I will add, it is a variable that could lead to that point.

00:48:59.000 It is a moment in time that could lead to a very similar circumstance.

00:49:03.000 It's hard to know if it will, though.

00:49:05.000 And what do you do?

00:49:06.000 Do we, as Americans, say, we can't allow Russia to... They've used this strategy over and over again. 0.53

00:49:12.000 I guess they used it in what, with Georgia?

00:49:13.000 They played this game.

00:49:14.000 They're doing it with Crimea. 0.90

00:49:16.000 If we sit back and it's five, ten years later and now a third of Ukraine is under Russian control as a satellite state, do we just let that keep happening until the Baltic states, you know, are now just under the boot of Russia?

00:49:30.000 Do we intervene?

00:49:31.000 What happens if we don't?

00:49:32.000 What happens if Lithuania, Belarus, or any of these other countries, Poland, loses their mind?

00:49:36.000 Saying like, we are not going to allow that because they certainly don't like what the Soviet Union was all about.

00:49:40.000 What happens if that just breaks out into a war in Europe?

00:49:43.000 We stay out of it, saying we don't want to be involved.

00:49:46.000 China moves on Taiwan.

00:49:48.000 Now there's fighting in the Pacific.

00:49:49.000 There's fighting in Eastern Europe.

00:49:51.000 The U.S.

00:49:51.000 begins doing weapons deals with European countries.

00:49:55.000 And then China says, you are funding our enemies, and then bombs Pearl Harbor.

00:50:00.000 Oh, yeah, we could talk for a long time on how far that could basically be the same play out.

00:50:06.000 Oh, absolutely.

00:50:07.000 You know what they would say?

00:50:09.000 We talk about how between World War I and World War II, it was one war with a 20-year armistice or something like that that was just reignited from the same grievances.

00:50:21.000 You could argue that this is a remnant of the same, of the end of World War II.

00:50:25.000 The difference would be China wouldn't bomb Pearl Harbor, although they might.

00:50:28.000 They would bomb San Francisco, New York, Washington, D.C., Dallas, Fort Worth.

00:50:35.000 They would bomb Kansas City.

00:50:37.000 They'd bomb Seattle.

00:50:39.000 All at once.

00:50:39.000 It would all happen in a day, in an hour.

00:50:41.000 So that is why, what we don't want.

00:50:43.000 I use bombing of Pearl Harbor, not in a literal sense, but to make a point about the similarities between World War II and what we're seeing here.

00:50:51.000 I'm not so sure China... How many nukes do they have?

00:50:53.000 Like 50?

00:50:53.000 They don't have that many, do they?

00:50:55.000 No, they got plenty.

00:50:57.000 Plenty?

00:50:57.000 Plenty enough.

00:50:58.000 You only need one, right?

00:50:59.000 Well, right.

00:51:00.000 And nuclear submarines off the west coast.

00:51:02.000 There's the most dangerous part, right?

00:51:03.000 Russia's got more than they could possibly use.

00:51:07.000 Same thing with us.

00:51:08.000 You know, I was in nukes for five years.

00:51:10.000 We had 12 Russia... I was stationed in Germany.

00:51:12.000 We had 12 nuclear missiles pointed at Russia 24-7.

00:51:15.000 Wow.

00:51:18.000 12 that you knew of.

00:51:19.000 Yeah, that.

00:51:20.000 So what we did was we rotated, we rotated one battalion does it for 30 days because it's around the clock.

00:51:27.000 We're in the shower and the alarm goes off, you have 30 seconds to make it to the gate and get those missiles launched because our life expectancy was 30 seconds.

00:51:35.000 What, what, Ron, what year was this?

00:51:37.000 So that would have been 89.

00:51:37.000 These were Pershing 2 missiles.

00:51:40.000 So they were short range, could hit their, they come within 10 meters of their target.

00:51:44.000 And you're talking about a nuke.

00:51:45.000 You don't have to come that close, right?

00:51:47.000 But, but it was low yield.

00:51:48.000 They'll blow up in the air.

00:51:50.000 No, these were made to hit targets.

00:51:52.000 Interesting.

00:51:53.000 Yeah.

00:51:53.000 And so now we saw two treaty, we did away with them.

00:51:57.000 And that was for to everybody to back down, right?

00:52:00.000 Because we're getting towards the end of the Cold War.

00:52:03.000 Let's not have so many of these just sitting there active, ready to go.

00:52:07.000 And so those were done away with.

00:52:09.000 That's when I so my basically my MOS was no longer and that's when I switched to the military intelligence.

00:52:15.000 Was it was it under Trump to start treaty basically fell apart?

00:52:18.000 Yeah, denuclearization started to Well, and it's because everybody else never follows it, right?

00:52:23.000 I mean, Russia breaks it all the time.

00:52:24.000 Iran's broken it all the time. 1.00

00:52:26.000 That's what gets so frustrating.

00:52:27.000 Although, you have to sit down at the table.

00:52:29.000 You have to do it.

00:52:30.000 But it never really solves.

00:52:32.000 I think weapons... Look, with the Manhattan Project, you had this decentralization, compartmentalization.

00:52:38.000 People didn't know what was being done.

00:52:40.000 Until after a bunch of bombs fell, and all of a sudden everyone figured out what America had done.

00:52:45.000 And the decades after that, the nuclear weapons we have today are about 1,000 to 1,250 times

00:52:56.000 more powerful than the bombs we used in World War II.

00:53:00.000 Yeah.

00:53:00.000 Isn't that something?

00:53:01.000 Yeah.

00:53:02.000 One ICBM, a MIRV, a multiple independently targeted reentry vehicle

00:53:06.000 carrying 10 to 12 warheads, peppers the Eastern seaboard.

00:53:09.000 You don't need 15 nukes.

00:53:11.000 No, you don't.

00:53:12.000 You need 10 warheads in one ICBM.

00:53:15.000 And then it goes up into the stratosphere and this goes,

00:53:17.000 and they all just go, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop,

00:53:19.000 wipe out cities.

00:53:20.000 I mean, these things are massively powerful.

00:53:22.000 Not to mention the latest developments.

00:53:24.000 And this is, I think this was actually like seven years ago, I was researching this in gravity bomb technology,

00:53:28.000 which is the bombs we used in World War II were gravity bombs.

00:53:31.000 We drop them from planes.

00:53:32.000 We don't launch them or anything.

00:53:33.000 We've compressed those down really, really small megaton bombs.

00:53:36.000 So they're very small and comparably as powerful.

00:53:41.000 The weapons that we know about, scary.

00:53:44.000 I mean, think about nuclear artillery.

00:53:46.000 Oh, yeah.

00:53:49.000 I haven't looked into it, but what are the actual artillery pieces that can launch nukes?

00:53:54.000 Load a warhead in a howitzer?

00:53:57.000 There's different versions of what can do what, but just the idea that these types of capabilities exist is why we don't use them, okay?

00:54:10.000 Because in the end, Nobody wants to really blow up the planet, right?

00:54:17.000 So it's been, it has worked in deterring.

00:54:21.000 It's not going to stop everything, but it has worked in deterring.

00:54:27.000 I guess it's partly makes me think like, why if China invades Taiwan, no one is going to try and stop it.

00:54:32.000 If Russia takes Crimea or Belarus, no one's going to stop it. 0.81

00:54:36.000 If America takes Mexico, no one's going to stop it because no one wants, well, these conquering empires to fire their nukes.

00:54:43.000 Taiwan is very sensitive because they make 63% of all the chips that we are already short of.

00:54:50.000 63% if I'm accurate.

00:54:54.000 That's huge.

00:54:55.000 Is it the kind of thing where it's better that no one has it than China has it? 0.98

00:55:00.000 If they dominate that market, right?

00:55:03.000 So you see the pictures of, I saw one this week where Ford Broncos are piling up in the parking lot again because the shortage of chips.

00:55:12.000 And that's because we don't produce them here, which we're trying to rectify, right?

00:55:16.000 There's a lot of things we're trying to rectify because we've seen our weakness through COVID and how much control China has over these things.

00:55:24.000 Add in Taiwan to that. 0.62

00:55:27.000 And it just, it would cripple technology.

00:55:31.000 Yeah.

00:55:32.000 So yeah, it's very important.

00:55:33.000 We would do something about it.

00:55:34.000 But is it the kind of thing where we would like scorched earth the place and be like, Hey, you can't take this from us.

00:55:39.000 You can have, you can have nothing and none of us get it.

00:55:41.000 Well, no, we would, I would imagine we would literally actively try to stop them.

00:55:45.000 Right.

00:55:46.000 And that's going to have to do with all naval power because you know, we, that's where you, you send the seven fleets, right?

00:55:53.000 If, Because that's where we're gonna have to start, because China has slowly been building those islands to claim that entire region, but also to give them a place to launch something militarily.

00:56:05.000 Building islands is a smart move.

00:56:07.000 Very smart.

00:56:08.000 And so that means, you know, the Marines would have a tough job, but that's what they'd have to clear.

00:56:12.000 They'd surround Taiwan and blockade the island, I would imagine, the Chinese, so you think there'd be like sea battles? 0.90

00:56:19.000 No, there'd be an air foot right in the air, on the sea, because we don't have troops on the ground.

00:56:23.000 Yeah, if China and the United States ever fight each other, that's like the beginning of total war, I think.

00:56:29.000 Limited war is when, like, the Taiwanese forces are fighting the Belarusian forces, and they're both funded by one side or the other.

00:56:37.000 The Americans are funding the Taiwanese, and the Chinese are funding... Yeah, so fortunately, right, for us, there's a great distance between us and China, us and Russia other than Alaska, right? 0.99

00:56:47.000 Because all you have there is the Bering Sea.

00:56:49.000 But, I mean, that's what's kept the peace.

00:56:52.000 Right?

00:56:53.000 And that's been our beauty.

00:56:56.000 We've had Canada and we've had Mexico. 0.62

00:56:59.000 There's no threat there, right?

00:57:00.000 Militarily.

00:57:01.000 We have a sweet spot right here.

00:57:03.000 So it's not easy to get to us.

00:57:06.000 Therefore, we have to project power.

00:57:09.000 That's why we make our Navy what it is.

00:57:11.000 And that helps us to control the situation until you can actually then get the rest of what's needed, boots on the ground, the supplies that go into all that.

00:57:22.000 And again, that's why not being a part of NATO would not be smart.

00:57:27.000 I want to make another point too, especially as we're talking about nuclear weapons.

00:57:31.000 America is, the United States, great geography in terms of war, just because we've got both coasts, we've got the interstate highway system, which is designed for this, we've got the mountains, seriously.

00:57:43.000 And then I was thinking about, you know, but what if, you know, we're talking about nuclear weapons, you know, Ian, you were mentioning China, we just wipe out all these cities. 0.91

00:57:48.000 I tell you this, even if the U.S.

00:57:52.000 got nuked to kingdom come by, you know, dozens of warheads, they would still not be able, no one would be able to conquer this country for one reason.

00:58:01.000 The sheer amount of guns that exist here, even after we've been nuked, ain't coming in.

00:58:09.000 And I'm thinking about that video game Fallout, which I love, Fallout 3.

00:58:12.000 And I'm imagining like, in this game, in the Fallout series, you're finding guns and bullets everywhere.

00:58:18.000 And I'm like, actually, it makes sense.

00:58:19.000 But what if the game took place in China or in Australia, but you'd find none?

00:58:24.000 So thinking about that, If nuclear war really broke out, you know, there's a quote from Einstein, I know not what World War 3 will be fought with, but World War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones.

00:58:36.000 And I'm like, I don't know, I think World War 4 would just be the United States armed to the teeth with all of the insane amount of guns they have, and then they would just conquer everybody.

00:58:45.000 It's the disease that I'm concerned, like the Native Americans, 95% of them were wiped out by smallpox when the settlers came over, numbers I've heard. 0.82

00:58:52.000 I could see like nuclear war and then just disease kills all these people with their guns that just starve and run out of water and then get sick and die and then someone comes in to clean it up.

00:59:03.000 So we're strong enough now, right?

00:59:06.000 But we used to live in the United States of America.

00:59:10.000 We now live in the divided states of America.

00:59:13.000 And herein will be our Achilles heel.

00:59:17.000 Because politically and culturally, there does not seem to be a path back to normalcy where we could get five individuals, six into this room and speak like rational adults, right?

00:59:34.000 The conversation is no longer happening.

00:59:37.000 And I don't know how we turn that corner.

00:59:41.000 Because we've just seen it with Canada.

00:59:45.000 We never would have guessed, right, that it would have gone to that extreme. 0.51

00:59:50.000 And the problem is, now this is happening at the level of our children because of the foolishness in schools.

00:59:59.000 And listen, I sort of understand the argument, but let me make one thing personally clear No one on the face of the planet is going to make me feel guilty for being born.

01:00:11.000 Right.

01:00:13.000 I did not choose where, when, and to whom.

01:00:16.000 I had nothing to say in that matter.

01:00:19.000 But people on the other side of this, politically and culturally, are not going to understand that language that you're speaking.

01:00:23.000 You know, the languages are so different, and so you juxtapose at this point, like you really can't communicate.

01:00:27.000 That's why that's part of the divide.

01:00:29.000 No!

01:00:29.000 And I get that, believe me.

01:00:30.000 So, I'm not going to go out and try to do no harm to anybody else, but... No one will make me feel guilty for being me.

01:00:38.000 But what happens when they show up to your neighborhood with guns?

01:00:41.000 What happens when they're marching through your streets, armed, telling you, you can't drive your car through here anymore, and they point rifles at you?

01:00:46.000 So this is the problem, this is what we're seeing up in Portland.

01:00:50.000 And it just culminated in a very serious incident over the weekend, where a guy is critically injured, four others, I think, three other, so there's a total of five people were shot, one died.

01:01:02.000 The guy in conflict with Antifa was critically injured, and three other Antifa were seriously injured, put in the hospital.

01:01:08.000 I believe they were arrested in the ER.

01:01:11.000 You know, we had, I know I've been mentioning it quite a bit in the past few episodes, but I think it's important.

01:01:15.000 We had Stephen Marsh, he wrote this book, we have it up there on the wall, The Next Civil War.

01:01:20.000 He said this country is a multicultural democracy and a constitutional republic inside at the same time, and they can't coexist. 0.99

01:01:28.000 He said, you know, you mentioned just now, how do we turn that corner?

01:01:31.000 He said, something to the effect of, when will you realize in this country what's happening?

01:01:36.000 My view is, you know, what I told him was, as a Canadian, you love your socialized healthcare, okay, you give that up, you abolish that, we go private, we have peace.

01:01:44.000 And he said, point taken.

01:01:46.000 Based on what you were saying about people making you feel guilty for being born, if someone comes up to me, these Democrats out of California, they wanted to repeal the civil rights language from their constitution.

01:01:59.000 The language that says you cannot discriminate on the basis of race, gender, identity, et cetera.

01:02:03.000 They said, we want that gone, we want that right.

01:02:06.000 I say no, no compromise.

01:02:09.000 So how do we don't?

01:02:11.000 So anyway, to kind of bring this back to where we were with war and nuclear weapons and all that stuff, I think our Achilles heel is exactly the right point. 0.98

01:02:19.000 When Jesse Kelly today, he's a funny guy.

01:02:22.000 He tweeted that, I mean it seriously, but he made a good point.

01:02:25.000 He said we need a national divorce.

01:02:27.000 Because, um, Democrat voters are polled showing they support what Trudeau was doing with his authoritarianism.

01:02:33.000 And the scary thing is I don't think he's wrong, but I think if he's right and we do have a national divorce, Russia walks all over Eastern Europe, takes what it wants. 0.81

01:02:42.000 China takes Taiwan.

01:02:43.000 They both expand exponentially.

01:02:46.000 And that's it.

01:02:46.000 We now, as Americans, live under heavy trade restrictions and under the boot of these, mostly China.

01:02:54.000 It wouldn't be the United States necessarily, because who knows what would happen to this country, but it's not just going to be fighting here.

01:02:59.000 It's going to be us being subjugated by oppressive forces from China, from the Communist Party, from their allies, from Russia, when it comes to trade especially.

01:03:08.000 No, without a doubt.

01:03:09.000 And again, that's why our strength, right?

01:03:11.000 We've lost our strength by not being the United States of America.

01:03:15.000 I mean, that's why Fortitude Ranch exists.

01:03:21.000 This is why we're trying to have 12 ranches across the country so that hopefully you wouldn't have to drive any more than one gas tank.

01:03:30.000 But you've played Fallout.

01:03:32.000 The video game.

01:03:32.000 Oh yeah.

01:03:33.000 How amazing would it be that if in the real world they weren't vaults, they were Fortitude ranches?

01:03:38.000 There you go.

01:03:39.000 And there's 500 of them or whatever.

01:03:42.000 You guys become this major conglomerate corporation.

01:03:45.000 Everybody lines up.

01:03:46.000 You do these spiffy 50s style TV ads for come sign up for Fortitude.

01:03:52.000 You know, you got to go somewhere when the bombs drop, right?

01:03:55.000 Yeah.

01:03:55.000 Come on down.

01:03:57.000 As funny as that is, that'd be great on that game you're working on, right?

01:04:00.000 Working Fortitude tokens instead of Caps.

01:04:04.000 Yeah, instead of bottle caps, right?

01:04:04.000 Bottle caps.

01:04:06.000 But you guys should have a bunch of bottle caps.

01:04:08.000 Yeah, that really would be funny.

01:04:08.000 That'd be funny.

01:04:09.000 Just as a bit.

01:04:10.000 I know.

01:04:10.000 When people show up to sign up for the ranch, be like, here's what we use to trade.

01:04:15.000 See how many of them get the reference.

01:04:16.000 Oh, I know.

01:04:17.000 I wonder if they would.

01:04:18.000 I mean, considering they're familiar with, you know, survival camps or fortitude, they might understand the joke.

01:04:23.000 Yeah, and you know, our membership has changed over the years.

01:04:28.000 It used to be more along the hardcore prepper type.

01:04:32.000 But once COVID hit, things started to change.

01:04:36.000 But once civil unrest hit, that changed everything.

01:04:39.000 People, man, they take everything for granted.

01:04:43.000 Absolutely.

01:04:44.000 The normalcy bias is what really, really gets me.

01:04:47.000 The optimism bias and the normalcy bias.

01:04:50.000 Optimism, meaning that people think bad things won't happen, and normalcy, they think things can't change.

01:04:54.000 But boy can they change, and they can change fast.

01:04:57.000 I mean, that's why I point out the first civil war in the United States, nobody thought it was going to happen.

01:05:02.000 Because everybody just thinks... World War I too, that just happened so fast all of a sudden.

01:05:07.000 One day the world was at peace, the next day, a guy got assassinated.

01:05:10.000 And we try to be rational about it, right?

01:05:12.000 Last time I was on, it was about a year ago, you asked me what you thought the percentage was of, you know, seeing some real violence as we turned the corner of the election.

01:05:19.000 I said 5%, and you were kind of surprised.

01:05:22.000 That I would say 5% but as you saw see the things weren't in place was because I thought it would be higher or lower higher I thought it'd be higher.

01:05:29.000 Yeah, and the Especially right because I'm the fortitude ranch guy.

01:05:34.000 So it would seem like you've got an economic incentive to tell everybody Right, so we don't play the fear game I mean that's not what That's what it's about, right?

01:05:45.000 And again, so we, as an organization, we stay apolitical so that we could really try to have the right data.

01:05:51.000 We never activated for COVID.

01:05:54.000 We did activate, and that's how you actually invited me to the show for the election.

01:05:59.000 And that was to give the opportunity for all the new members, basically, to come bring their supplies and get to know them, right?

01:06:05.000 It was basically a, let's sit and watch the elections kind of get together.

01:06:10.000 We really weren't Thinking that it was going to be and that's another reason why you thought it would probably be higher because we activated for the first time in Existence, but I also add I think you guys got to activate this November.

01:06:21.000 Oh, well, see now.

01:06:22.000 Here's the thing, right?

01:06:23.000 We haven't even gotten into that So there's no path.

01:06:26.000 It seems like going forward and now things are gonna get lunar You thought Trump 0.1 was something?

01:06:34.000 Wait for Trump 0.2.

01:06:36.000 Let me pull up this story which can kick off this bigger conversation on the conflict in the U.S.

01:06:40.000 because this is actually kind of weird.

01:06:43.000 It's tragic, it's creepy, it's weird.

01:06:45.000 We have this from OPB.

01:06:47.000 Alleged killer in Portland's Normandale Park protest shooting has been identified.

01:06:51.000 They're saying it's a man named Benjamin Jeffrey Smith.

01:06:53.000 He's been identified as a local furry.

01:06:57.000 That Antifa claims is a Nazi because furries have a known Nazi problem.

01:07:02.000 It's very, very strange that this is the story that's coming out.

01:07:05.000 But just in reference to this, this story, they flat out say Smith's identity was first reported by anti-fascist researchers and the Oregonian Oregon Live News outlet.

01:07:20.000 The information we're getting about the shooting is coming from extremists.

01:07:23.000 How can you trust it?

01:07:24.000 Of course, they're taking quotes from me, and they're screaming that I'm lying and all this stuff, and Andy Ngo is lying. 0.99

01:07:30.000 I don't care what these Twitter Antifa people think, because I think they're psychotic, despotic, fascist extremists. 0.96

01:07:38.000 When they say that about me, I know they're lying. 0.99

01:07:39.000 Because I know they don't really believe that.

01:07:41.000 We do a show, like, if you look at all the online forums, they refer to me as, like, a libertarian centrist.

01:07:46.000 You know, I flat out say, leave me alone.

01:07:48.000 I want to have nothing to do.

01:07:49.000 Get away from the cities.

01:07:50.000 There's no way these people who are in Portland, who are going around with guns, pointing at people, threatening people, smashing property, genuinely believe the people running away are the fascists.

01:08:02.000 They know they're lying.

01:08:02.000 There's no way.

01:08:03.000 So I don't care what they think.

01:08:05.000 But this is the nature of the escalation we've seen.

01:08:08.000 So we had you on just before the election in 2020 because Fortitude Ranch activated.

01:08:16.000 And there was a bunch of stories coming out saying like, you know, survival camp activates, warns their members or whatever.

01:08:21.000 There's a potential for violence.

01:08:22.000 You said it was around 5%.

01:08:25.000 When I talk to people, they have such a normalcy or optimism bias.

01:08:27.000 It can't happen here.

01:08:29.000 I don't know how, you know, to explain to the people who don't want to believe it.

01:08:34.000 Maybe there are people who just don't want to hear it.

01:08:35.000 It's not about, they don't believe it.

01:08:36.000 They do believe it, but they're just like, please no, please no, go away.

01:08:39.000 If I close my eyes and shut, you know, cover my ears, close my eyes, it'll just stop.

01:08:43.000 It'll stop, you know?

01:08:44.000 But it's coming.

01:08:45.000 And I think people need to pay attention to this because we're at the point now where there's a group of Antifa marching through the street, armed, telling people where they can and can't drive.

01:08:56.000 In the past, not even that long ago, A guy was in his truck and they threatened him and he pulled a gun, so they pulled him out of his truck and they beat him.

01:09:05.000 We've seen Aaron Danielson in Portland.

01:09:06.000 He was shot twice in the chest and killed. 0.96

01:09:10.000 Then Bill Barr's DOJ hunted down this guy, Michael Reinold, and they say he got into a shit-out with him. 0.99

01:09:16.000 They killed him. 0.89

01:09:18.000 These Antifa people view that as Trump's administration, the MAGA right, the populists engaging in retribution.

01:09:25.000 To me it does sound a lot like retribution.

01:09:27.000 It doesn't matter though.

01:09:28.000 It doesn't matter which side you're on.

01:09:29.000 It doesn't matter if you think you're right.

01:09:31.000 It's just at a certain point you need to wake up to realize this stuff is happening.

01:09:35.000 It's happening with increasing frequency.

01:09:37.000 And, you know, so to escalate this to where we're going now, the elections are coming up midterms.

01:09:43.000 The Democrats lose power in the House and in the Senate, then Republicans are going to go off the wall.

01:09:50.000 I don't believe most Republicans will go off the wall.

01:09:53.000 I believe the Trump, MAGA, America First types are going to be like revenge and retribution.

01:09:58.000 And if people go out and vote in the primaries and get in real politicians, not establishment crony, bad idea or no idea Republicans, I guess, rhinos, If actual new incumbents come in, I'm sorry, new candidates push out the incumbents, we might actually see some real action from the Republican Party.

01:10:15.000 But then you're going to see Antifa losing their minds.

01:10:18.000 Then you're going to be getting into 2023, which is presidential primary season, with Donald Trump coming out saying, we will win.

01:10:26.000 Antifa's gonna go crazy, and then you have 2024, an election year, and then Donald Trump wins.

01:10:31.000 So then what happens?

01:10:32.000 Trump 2.0.

01:10:34.000 Madness.

01:10:39.000 So what I'm wondering is, is what level can you take it to next?

01:10:42.000 Because it was already an existential threat, right?

01:10:45.000 Aliens.

01:10:46.000 So where else do you go?

01:10:47.000 And I mentioned this before we started going on air, right?

01:10:51.000 Maybe that's when we see the aliens come in and calm all this down.

01:10:54.000 Because I Honestly, I don't know where you can go other than more of the, I mean, I'm speaking verbiage, right?

01:11:01.000 Because the way they explained it last time, and interesting enough, Putin even used that word as he explained what was going on, trying existential threat.

01:11:13.000 Existential threat.

01:11:14.000 Yes.

01:11:15.000 And he used that word.

01:11:16.000 It's interesting how it always gets picked up and passed around and used in so many circumstances.

01:11:23.000 It becomes the phrase of the day.

01:11:27.000 So I just don't know how much more nuttier or how the language can get any more over the top than... They'll find a way, right?

01:11:36.000 Because They truly believe that it's the worst possible thing that can happen.

01:11:44.000 I remember, you know, back when he was elected and the girlfriend that I was with at the time and she lost her mind.

01:11:55.000 I said, listen, You know how many presidents, administrations I've lived through so far in my lifetime?

01:12:02.000 They come and they go.

01:12:04.000 They come and they go.

01:12:06.000 And the world doesn't end.

01:12:08.000 It's everybody who doesn't come and go in Washington that we're really going to try to do something about.

01:12:13.000 Yeah, the administrative state, man.

01:12:14.000 They need term limits. 0.82

01:12:15.000 Yes.

01:12:16.000 And then every...

01:12:19.000 People, you know, I get it, it's so important to you if you haven't lived through a bunch of these, but when I was in school I was literally taught the next thing coming our way was an ice age.

01:12:31.000 Yeah.

01:12:32.000 That's what I was taught as a kid.

01:12:34.000 I believed it.

01:12:35.000 I thought the next great thing to happen to mankind was a nice age.

01:12:39.000 And I've lived through all the others about this.

01:12:42.000 There's a great video, I don't know if I can pull it up, but I think it's Carl Sagan talking about the global cooling.

01:12:51.000 And he's like, scientists believe a great ice age could be coming.

01:12:55.000 And it was like from the 70s, you know, and then science changes, right?

01:12:59.000 So, you know, people panic for a lot of different reasons.

01:13:02.000 I think the issue we're facing now is there was a point at which American society hard forked, split into two distinct entities.

01:13:12.000 For a while they were close enough together where it was an argument saying like, what are you doing over there?

01:13:16.000 We're talking over here.

01:13:17.000 Now it's so far divided.

01:13:19.000 It's just, I think I figured out where you're yelling across the chasm.

01:13:22.000 I was thinking about a lot about this.

01:13:23.000 There's, there's multiple ways to think and to problem solve and to come to conclusions.

01:13:27.000 One of them is the scientific way to do it, which is you acquire evidence over time.

01:13:32.000 And that once you get enough evidence, you can confidently say, this is what I believe is happening.

01:13:36.000 Then there's warfare, where you have no information about what the hell is happening.

01:13:40.000 You know that there's artillery firing from over there and there's a machine gun nest.

01:13:44.000 Now you have to make a decision.

01:13:45.000 And people are in the war mind state.

01:13:47.000 They're afraid, they're terrified, probably by design.

01:13:50.000 So they're making these split second decisions without information and acting like these are like solid scientific ways to look at things and they're not.

01:14:00.000 You're, you're half, I think you're half right.

01:14:02.000 I think they're lacking information.

01:14:04.000 I think they're in a war mind, but I think it's by choice.

01:14:07.000 We have the story from Axios, Democrats tune out national news during Biden era.

01:14:12.000 Look at this, Democrats just spike straight down.

01:14:15.000 This is exactly the problem I've talked about with, you know, the Obama activists, the, I'm sorry, the anti-war activists voting for Obama.

01:14:21.000 The moment their guy gets in, they turn off.

01:14:25.000 So now what's happening is Democrats are no longer paying attention to news.

01:14:29.000 They're now below Republicans, but they're still acting on politics.

01:14:34.000 They're still engaging in conflicts.

01:14:35.000 They're still pushing and they're still active. 0.99

01:14:39.000 They're just willfully ignorant now. 0.61

01:14:41.000 I think what, like what you said, man, people feel like this, this is gonna, there's too much emphasis being placed on the political candidate. 0.99

01:14:48.000 It's to be afraid or to have total faith that your candidate's going to solve, save the situation is ridiculous.

01:14:55.000 We found that out with Obama turning his back on people. 0.98

01:14:58.000 And to think that this candidate's going to destroy the world is also ridiculous. 0.99

01:15:01.000 The system's built around, I mean, I understand an executive can be kind of crazy and can do stupid stuff, but we have plenty of safeguards. 0.97

01:15:09.000 No, exactly, and so we're definitely going to see, right, so if everything seems to play out the way it looks because of the overreach and some of the ridiculousness of how COVID has been handled, you probably see, you know, the Democrats getting a good shellacking in the midterms. 0.64

01:15:32.000 Right now the backpedaling is starting.

01:15:35.000 They understand they're losing the independence.

01:15:39.000 People are really getting sick and tired of this.

01:15:42.000 So this is going to unravel to a certain degree.

01:15:47.000 Then, like Tim said, so that just brings about BLM and Antifa now being in the streets more than what we've seen them over this past time.

01:15:57.000 It intensifies and intensifies.

01:16:00.000 And then, who knows, it should come to some kind of crescendo for, you know, 2024 and the presidential elections.

01:16:08.000 Well, you're familiar with Strauss' Generational Theory.

01:16:11.000 Yeah.

01:16:11.000 Right.

01:16:12.000 So, by 2028 should be the end of the fourth turning.

01:16:17.000 So don't be surprised if I believe we're in it for around what 20 years or so is when it starts kicking into high gear and surprise surprise that's 2008.

01:16:27.000 The start of this economic crisis which escalates dramatically causes, look I think the economic crisis really is a big precursor to everything we're seeing.

01:16:37.000 You get a young generation who can't find jobs.

01:16:40.000 People my age getting out of college all of a sudden Unable to work as dishwashers.

01:16:44.000 Something I experienced.

01:16:46.000 I remember I went to a small, tiny, hole-in-the-wall diner, and there was a guy in a suit applying to be a dishwasher for 10 bucks an hour.

01:16:52.000 And I'm like some scraggly dude in a beanie, like, yeah, I was just looking for some side cash, man.

01:16:55.000 This guy needs it more than I do.

01:16:57.000 You get these young people who then say, why is my life so bad?

01:17:00.000 And they blame the 1%.

01:17:02.000 This drives them into this quest for meaning.

01:17:06.000 Unable to do work.

01:17:07.000 Unable to pursue their passions.

01:17:10.000 That escalates over 10 years with them getting into activism, turning news into activism, putting politics in every corner of every aspect of our lives.

01:17:18.000 And now we're at this point today.

01:17:21.000 So eight years after the crisis, you get Donald Trump, Donald Trump being a symptom.

01:17:25.000 People are saying, we're tired of this.

01:17:26.000 We want something to change. 0.92

01:17:28.000 The other side believing Trump was a fascist and literally Hitler going insane. 0.57

01:17:32.000 All of that has continued to escalate. 0.55

01:17:34.000 I think Occupy Wall Street.

01:17:36.000 You get the financial crisis, which leads us to Occupy Wall Street, which brings this critical race theory activism into the fray with all the activists in New York, who then engage in violent tactics, black bloc tactics. 0.87

01:17:47.000 It escalates.

01:17:48.000 I suppose you could even go back further than that and figure out where all this stuff started, when they, you know, was it Glass-Steagall gets repealed or whatever, and then how this all begins.

01:17:56.000 But I think the big spark, like something broke, 2008.

01:18:01.000 Then what?

01:18:02.000 2020.

01:18:02.000 The end of this period of strife.

01:18:05.000 A hard time, which is economic crisis, which is political crisis, which is street violence.

01:18:13.000 The night is always darkest before the dawn.

01:18:16.000 But 2024, I think is going to be bad.

01:18:19.000 I think this year is going to get bad.

01:18:21.000 Already the activism is getting nuts.

01:18:22.000 This story is crazy.

01:18:24.000 I think 2023 is going to get bad.

01:18:26.000 I think 2024 will be worse because Trump will end up as the Republican nominee.

01:18:30.000 What are the Democrats going to do?

01:18:31.000 Biden?

01:18:31.000 I have no idea.

01:18:34.000 2025, Donald Trump is inaugurated.

01:18:36.000 What do you think January 20th, 2025 is going to look like in D.C.?

01:18:40.000 You think January 6th is bad?

01:18:42.000 Wait till January 20th, 2025 for the second inauguration of Donald Trump.

01:18:46.000 I gotta say, I think there's no way Trump is going to even have a chance at being president.

01:18:51.000 I'll go on record now.

01:18:52.000 I could be totally wrong.

01:18:54.000 Maybe I'll eat my words.

01:18:54.000 I didn't think he was going to win last time either with Hillary Clinton.

01:18:57.000 I was shocked.

01:18:58.000 But it's like the same kind of surprise attack thing in military.

01:19:02.000 You don't do it twice.

01:19:03.000 They're ready for it now.

01:19:05.000 It's going to be total media... What do they call it?

01:19:08.000 What did the Time Magazine article call it?

01:19:09.000 The shadow campaign to save the election.

01:19:11.000 Yeah, the total media fortification of their candidate.

01:19:15.000 But I think that's a key factor here.

01:19:16.000 Over the past six years, the corporate press has lost a lot of credibility, right?

01:19:20.000 Even with Normies? 0.52

01:19:21.000 With me, they have, for sure.

01:19:23.000 Oh yeah, but you've always kind of been dialed into it.

01:19:24.000 I'm wondering if like the average person, well, it seems like even the Democrats are kind of tuning out.

01:19:28.000 Are they going to crank up their viewing again when it looks like Trump is going to win a second term?

01:19:33.000 Or has the corporate press actually lost some of the credibility that it used to have?

01:19:37.000 I don't know.

01:19:37.000 It seems to me like it's crumbled quite a bit.

01:19:39.000 It's going to really hinge on who's going to be the candidate also democratically, right?

01:19:45.000 Well, let me... Yeah.

01:19:46.000 That's because if it's Andrew Yang, it's a crazy prospect.

01:19:49.000 So that's going to be huge.

01:19:51.000 I want to pull up this story.

01:19:53.000 This is from the Daily Wire.

01:19:54.000 Majority of Democrats back Trudeau's crackdown, freezing bank account of truckers.

01:19:59.000 There's something really important here.

01:20:01.000 Ian was just saying that he doesn't think Donald Trump could win the presidency because they're going to be ready for him, right?

01:20:07.000 Yeah.

01:20:08.000 So, using the same strategy twice.

01:20:11.000 The previous context, for those that may have missed it, we're talking about the Freedom Convoy in Canada, we're talking about how Trudeau cracks down, then the U.S.

01:20:18.000 is playing this convoy, and Ian, you were saying that they're going to be ready for the U.S.

01:20:22.000 truckers.

01:20:23.000 So they can't use the same strategy.

01:20:25.000 They're going to be ready for Donald Trump.

01:20:26.000 He can't use the same strategy.

01:20:27.000 But there's one thing that I think does that you may overlook in this regard.

01:20:32.000 What if instead of 1,000 or 500 trucks coming to D.C., like in Canada, it was 50,000?

01:20:38.000 Now it was reported there was 50,000 truckers protesting.

01:20:42.000 I don't think there was that many trucks.

01:20:43.000 I think that was probably misreported.

01:20:45.000 But let's say that D.C.

01:20:47.000 does plan for this.

01:20:48.000 And they say, We're gonna handle it.

01:20:52.000 500 trucks, no problem.

01:20:53.000 But then 50,000 trucks from every angle come in?

01:20:56.000 You can't handle that.

01:20:57.000 There's no planning for that.

01:20:58.000 That would be a different plan.

01:21:00.000 So let me show you this.

01:21:02.000 In the story about Democrat support for Trudeau, they say, The poll shows 55% of general election voters disapprove of Trudeau's handling of the protesters.

01:21:14.000 35% approve.

01:21:14.000 That is to say, the majority of people don't like the draconian powers.

01:21:19.000 Take a look at this.

01:21:20.000 Democrats, 65% approval.

01:21:24.000 Republicans, 87% disapproval, and Independents, 74% disapproval.

01:21:31.000 That is to say, Republicans say no to Trudeau.

01:21:35.000 Unaffiliated voters say no to Trudeau.

01:21:38.000 It is only the Democrat base that about two-thirds support what Trudeau is doing with his draconian powers.

01:21:45.000 This, this, these metrics are reflected in basically everything.

01:21:49.000 When we pull up civics polling data, is the economy good?

01:21:53.000 Independent voters 2 to 1 say no.

01:21:55.000 Republicans 10 to 1 say no.

01:21:58.000 Democrats 2 to 1 say it's great.

01:22:01.000 Now, how is that possible?

01:22:02.000 It's an inversion.

01:22:03.000 The fact is, independent voters and Republicans, the plurality of the majority of people in this country, do not live in the crackpot cult reality that the Democrats live in.

01:22:14.000 So if Donald Trump does run again, they can plan any shadow campaign or whatever fortification they want.

01:22:20.000 But when 10 times as many people are storming through the gates, no amount of planning will stop that man.

01:22:25.000 Yeah, the independence there is really important, because that's your proxy, right?

01:22:28.000 I mean, those are the people that aren't really affiliated.

01:22:30.000 I mean, if they're siding with the Republicans, I mean, not even siding with them, but if that's the way they're perceiving reality.

01:22:36.000 But all these represent the chasm, right?

01:22:38.000 The chasm that we're talking about.

01:22:39.000 We kind of forked at a certain point, culturally, in this country, and the chasm is just so great.

01:22:44.000 You might try to holler at somebody way over there, and it's just like, what's the point?

01:22:47.000 I mean, they're not even going to understand the language that I'm speaking right now.

01:22:51.000 That's scary, but to your point, I don't know how we're going to remedy that cultural problem that we're experiencing.

01:22:57.000 The chasm's just too wide.

01:22:58.000 I think that that's making me think of that mentality, that combat mentality versus the scientific mentality.

01:23:03.000 So many people are in combat mentality that if you try and speak to them scientifically with facts and evidence, they don't get it.

01:23:08.000 It's too big of a deal for them to think about.

01:23:11.000 They've got to act now!

01:23:13.000 It's like life or death to these people.

01:23:14.000 So if you can understand that before you start communicating with them, For them, it's a big deal.

01:23:20.000 I mean, obviously, I'm not freaked out by this stuff.

01:23:20.000 Maybe for you, it's not.

01:23:23.000 It's the same thing with talking with a kid, too.

01:23:27.000 If you understand why something is such a big deal to them, it's a lot easier to communicate with them about it.

01:23:32.000 Yeah.

01:23:33.000 Rapport building is the first strategy in persuasion.

01:23:36.000 So, if you approach someone as an enemy or as an other, They are less likely to trust you.

01:23:41.000 They fear you.

01:23:43.000 So if you're trying to actively build bridges in the political conflict, you have to approach your political enemies or your political rivals as one of them.

01:23:53.000 It's a very difficult thing to do.

01:23:56.000 I gotta throw it to Daryl Davis, though, and say I think we're beyond that, unfortunately.

01:24:00.000 We can certainly try.

01:24:01.000 I'm not saying never, you know, give up.

01:24:03.000 But that story about Daryl Davis, he's the guy who de-radicalized those Klan members.

01:24:07.000 Black jazz musician, de-radicalizes Klan members.

01:24:10.000 But when he tried to talk with Antifa outside of the event we booked him for, they wouldn't talk to him.

01:24:15.000 Yeah, he directly confronted the mob, and that's a hard, that's a big ask.

01:24:19.000 I've never successfully confronted a mob and come out the winner.

01:24:23.000 But confront maybe is the wrong word.

01:24:25.000 He said, I want to talk to them.

01:24:27.000 He walked across the street and they started yelling at him.

01:24:30.000 And they called him a Nazi and other, you know, white supremacist.

01:24:34.000 And he was like, I just want to talk guys and they wouldn't do it.

01:24:36.000 Something similar might've happened though if he was trying to address like a Klan rally.

01:24:40.000 No, he's done that.

01:24:41.000 He's done that.

01:24:41.000 But it started at the individual level, right?

01:24:43.000 It was just like one guy and then another guy.

01:24:45.000 He showed up to Klan rallies.

01:24:47.000 He went to Klan rallies and walked up to people and talked to them.

01:24:50.000 And he posted about how he never experienced what he did with Antifa.

01:24:55.000 When he went to Klan rallies, they were like, what's this guy doing here?

01:24:59.000 And he said, you know, he started talking to people and they started talking with him and they told him all of their racist ideas.

01:25:05.000 And he said, okay, just wondering what you were thinking.

01:25:08.000 And then after a long enough period of time, they realized they were wrong.

01:25:11.000 And their racist ideas weren't correct.

01:25:13.000 With Antifa, he walks up and they scream at him.

01:25:15.000 Yeah, they want to fight.

01:25:15.000 They wouldn't even let him talk.

01:25:16.000 They're there to fight.

01:25:17.000 So it's a more poisonous ideology than racism, even.

01:25:20.000 Oh, I certainly think so.

01:25:21.000 You must be.

01:25:22.000 I think the issue with racism is that it's incorrect and can lead people towards dangerous policy and violence.

01:25:31.000 The far-left extremism is inherently, on step one of the hopscotch, is be extreme and destroy. 1.00

01:25:38.000 Racism is, you don't like people for stupid reasons. 1.00

01:25:42.000 It escalates from there. 1.00

01:25:43.000 Antifa on the far left starts with violent revolution.

01:25:47.000 I hate that burn-it-all-down mentality. 1.00

01:25:49.000 It's so stupid. 1.00

01:25:50.000 Why would you ever destroy what we've created before you have a new thing to do? 1.00

01:25:56.000 It's a 12-year-old's mentality.

01:25:59.000 It's so very short-sighted.

01:26:01.000 Immature, right? 0.88

01:26:02.000 It's extremely immature.

01:26:04.000 And it's extremely, you know, short-sighted.

01:26:08.000 And so now, you know, like I said, no one's going to make me feel guilty for being born.

01:26:13.000 I wouldn't have chose my parents.

01:26:15.000 Love them.

01:26:17.000 Take a bunch of 10-year-olds.

01:26:19.000 Take 30 10-year-olds and put them in charge of an office building and see what happens.

01:26:23.000 This is what's happening right now.

01:26:25.000 Good times make weak men.

01:26:27.000 We're in the fourth turning.

01:26:28.000 We're in the period of weak men who have made hard times.

01:26:31.000 I mean, not figuratively, because women are involved. 1.00

01:26:32.000 I'm thinking scorched earth now, because that's a military tactic.

01:26:35.000 So if these people really are in combat mind state, then the scorched earth tactic is on the table.

01:26:40.000 Like if someone's invading your city and you can't defend it properly, you burn the entire city to the ground and retreat so that when they get there, they don't have a city to pillage.

01:26:48.000 And so maybe that's what these people are doing.

01:26:50.000 I think, you know, what you see with Antifa— I don't think it's even thought through that far.

01:26:55.000 There is a—it's a rudimentary plan.

01:27:00.000 It's there.

01:27:01.000 Antifa in Portland, they—everything they do serves their purpose, their goal, right?

01:27:08.000 If they go out in the streets with guns and say, do as you're told, and you do, they win.

01:27:14.000 If you resist them and there's chaos and fighting, you're destroying the system.

01:27:18.000 They win.

01:27:19.000 It's what they want from the ashes of the old, they shall build anew. 0.75

01:27:22.000 It's what they said during Occupy Wall Street.

01:27:25.000 I was told during Occupy, they said, the organizer said, we want to flip the pyramid over.

01:27:29.000 And I said, how would that make sense?

01:27:32.000 If you flip the pyramid over, you have one brick on the bottom?

01:27:35.000 No.

01:27:36.000 The pyramid crumbles and forms a crappy or crumbly pyramid.

01:27:40.000 And they're like, right.

01:27:41.000 And we're on the bottom now.

01:27:43.000 And when you flip it over and the bricks tumble down, we'll be the ones on top.

01:27:47.000 That was their view.

01:27:48.000 Their view was not to create a better world where the working class were all equal and wealthy.

01:27:52.000 It was that if you flip the pyramid over, some of the poor people will take control and be in charge. 0.99

01:27:58.000 The rest are going to fall down the side of the pyramid and the avalanche of rocks and get crushed.

01:28:03.000 We're definitely in payback mode, right?

01:28:07.000 Payback for what?

01:28:08.000 For who?

01:28:08.000 The Federal Reserve.

01:28:09.000 The idea of how they've been wronged and why we are so systematically racist and this and that. 0.97

01:28:19.000 Fascist.

01:28:19.000 Yes.

01:28:20.000 And so, if you're in payback mode, then you're not being rational and you get these type of ideas and it seems self-fulfilling.

01:28:31.000 Again, but it's so emotionally based.

01:28:34.000 Yeah, people that are willing to die for their cause are very dangerous.

01:28:37.000 Yes, but these people also have no sense of history.

01:28:39.000 They don't know what happened in Cuba, or either that, or they're ignorant about it.

01:28:42.000 I was just so funny, I was just listening the other day to an interview with Andy Garcia, the actor, and I had no idea he was from Cuba, and his family fled from there when he was five and a half years old.

01:28:51.000 And the interviewer was asking, he was just like, so what was that like?

01:28:53.000 You fled from Cuba?

01:28:54.000 I mean, what was going on?

01:28:55.000 And the way that he describes Cuba, that he fled from, is just like hair raising.

01:29:00.000 He was just like, well, you know, we were told there were going to be public schools, and the revolution was going to bring everybody happiness, and the public schools weren't really schools, they were just indoctrination camps, and all the children, you know, there was no God, and they praised Che Guevara, and they praised Fidel, and he's just like, point by point, laying out exactly what happened.

01:29:17.000 Even when he went back in the 90s, and he was just like, I just wanted to visit my homeland, and they turned it into this propaganda campaign, saying that I, you know, supported the revolution.

01:29:26.000 And it was just, it was really eye-opening hearing him talk about that when we're living in 2022.

01:29:31.000 There's a clip that the left likes to put around, push out there, where at the end of the Joe Rogan podcast with Twitter, the mic stayed on.

01:29:43.000 So Joe is like, all right, everybody, that was great.

01:29:45.000 And he stands up and it shows the Rogan symbol and you can still hear everything.

01:29:49.000 And Vijaya Gadi of Twitter says, I want to follow up on that Antifa account.

01:29:53.000 And I said, it's bit.ly slash Antifa tweet or something like that.

01:29:57.000 And then she says, you know, what was this account or whatever?

01:30:01.000 And I responded with, I don't want to give you information on specifics that you can go and ban people because I'm here basically saying, I don't think you should be doing anything on my behest.

01:30:11.000 They cut that part out and claim that Twitter colludes with the far right to ban Antifa and support fascists and everything.

01:30:21.000 It is insane.

01:30:22.000 How people fall for this and believe it and it's it's maddening and it's sad because there are people who will hear that clip and be like, wow, it must be true.

01:30:31.000 That's it.

01:30:31.000 That's the combat mentality.

01:30:33.000 I was I was talking to a few good friends of the show and they mentioned Dave Rubin. 1.00

01:30:41.000 Saying something stupid. 0.99

01:30:42.000 They were like, oh, but Dave, man, he said that thing. 1.00

01:30:46.000 And I was like, what did he say?

01:30:47.000 And they're like, he said something about, I can't remember exactly what the quote was.

01:30:50.000 And then I said, wow, you actually were talking to him and he said this to you?

01:30:53.000 They were like, no, but we saw it on Twitter.

01:30:55.000 And I was like, was he quoting someone else?

01:30:58.000 And they're like, I don't know, it was a short clip some activist posted.

01:31:01.000 And I was like, so why do you believe it?

01:31:03.000 So, so Dave Rubin could have been quoting someone else and someone took a clip of this and claimed he said it.

01:31:11.000 Why would you believe that?

01:31:12.000 It's crazy that even people who are aware of the tactics of the machine still fall for it too.

01:31:17.000 Yeah, I had to train myself out of it with the Nick Sandman thing when he got confronted.

01:31:23.000 I initially got angry and I was about to yell out.

01:31:25.000 That was the first time I kind of stopped and thought about maybe there's something more to this.

01:31:30.000 Uh, and then, but it was like, it wasn't like one day I just stopped freaking out about information.

01:31:34.000 I had to learn.

01:31:35.000 So I'm still to this day, stuff will appear and I'm like, false flag.

01:31:38.000 Remember false flag.

01:31:39.000 Remember, keep your mind open.

01:31:41.000 Yeah.

01:31:41.000 Again, that's why I have no social platform whatsoever.

01:31:45.000 I stay as far away from that as I can.

01:31:48.000 I mean, obviously it wasn't part of my generation.

01:31:51.000 I haven't a cell phone until I was 30.

01:31:52.000 Because they weren't around, right?

01:31:53.000 My first one I had was in Belarus.

01:31:55.000 And interestingly enough, because it's such a small country, it was awesome because they could put cell towers around everywhere and it was really good.

01:32:03.000 So I didn't grow up with it, wasn't part of it, but I absolutely detest the fact that you can get so inundated and so caught up in it that it's not profitable.

01:32:16.000 I try to be profitable.

01:32:17.000 You know, with my time and my energy.

01:32:19.000 Yeah.

01:32:19.000 I'll have such a good, I'll be in such a great state of mind.

01:32:22.000 I'll be thinking about good stuff.

01:32:23.000 And then sometimes I'll get on Twitter and I'm like, this stuff is so negative.

01:32:27.000 It's so niche.

01:32:28.000 It's usually about like Biden or like about politics.

01:32:31.000 And it's just because I follow a lot of people that come on the show and that's what we talk about, but it's like so niche.

01:32:36.000 It's not like reality as it is.

01:32:38.000 It's just a part of like the game.

01:32:40.000 I gotta, I gotta give you some advice, man.

01:32:42.000 I'm triggering Tim right now.

01:32:43.000 Look at who I follow.

01:32:44.000 You couldn't go on Twitter and pull up my account and look at who I follow.

01:32:47.000 And so there's a good amount of activists, there's pundits, there's left-wing and right-wing pundits, and mostly news organizations.

01:32:54.000 What's happening to a lot of people is that they'll go on Twitter and they'll follow 300 far-left activists, so their whole worldview is filtered by the far-left.

01:33:03.000 Or they'll go on and follow 300 right-wing pundits, and their whole worldview is filtered through right-wing pundits.

01:33:11.000 I use my Twitter mostly as a tool.

01:33:13.000 I post nonsense.

01:33:14.000 I often just post things that trigger people or whatever.

01:33:18.000 I tweeted today that Putin was scared of Trump.

01:33:23.000 Boy, did the left go nuts on that one.

01:33:27.000 Who I'm following is like news sources.

01:33:29.000 Left and right.

01:33:31.000 Some are politically active, some aren't.

01:33:33.000 A lot of journalists.

01:33:35.000 You'll see in my following count like some professors and some journalists.

01:33:38.000 My worldview is not crafted by partisans.

01:33:42.000 It is, I have a balanced, you know, because I want to see what the left is saying.

01:33:47.000 Sure, no, for what you do it makes total sense.

01:33:50.000 But what we're getting is journalists only follow the left.

01:33:54.000 Conservatives follow both.

01:33:56.000 So you'll tend to see conservatives understand the left, the left doesn't understand conservatives.

01:34:01.000 That's why the Democrats support Trudeau, and independent voters, Republicans, don't.

01:34:06.000 Probably because Democrats don't watch the news, have no idea what he's done.

01:34:10.000 But if you went to the average Democrat voter and said, Trudeau seized the bank account of a single mother who works as a waitress because when the convoy was first just driving on the road, she gave 50 bucks, they'd be like, well, that's crazy.

01:34:23.000 But because they don't pay attention, they support authoritarianism.

01:34:27.000 And therefore wouldn't believe you, right?

01:34:29.000 Right.

01:34:29.000 They'd say, so this is what, you know, my friends are telling me.

01:34:32.000 They're like, they say, like good friends of mine from back from back home.

01:34:35.000 They say, when I try telling my parents, they say it's a conspiracy theory.

01:34:39.000 And then, and they're like, you know, Tim, like you, you've known him.

01:34:43.000 He used to hang out here.

01:34:44.000 It's he's the one who's talking about like, ah, he's wrong.

01:34:46.000 I watch CNN.

01:34:48.000 When I was in LA, I was such a closet leftist.

01:34:51.000 I was just blatantly like, socialism, yay, I didn't know.

01:34:54.000 And there's this mentality of like, leave me alone, let me just live my life, man.

01:34:59.000 I want the government, social services are nice, because if I need food stamps, I'm with the actress.

01:35:03.000 And it's so close-minded and oblivious to live like that, to think that what you have in America is the way things are.

01:35:12.000 This is a result of military conquest.

01:35:15.000 It's not a joke.

01:35:16.000 And now there's problems that are arising because of that conquest.

01:35:20.000 Also not a joke.

01:35:21.000 So your luxury is tentative at best.

01:35:27.000 Get your mind in the game.

01:35:29.000 I need you.

01:36:09.000 Yeah.

01:36:10.000 They're really bad.

01:36:12.000 It's not even like political reporting.

01:36:14.000 I don't want to get too much into it, but let's just say that people who know about the lost Confederate gold are getting upset that we've been digging into it.

01:36:26.000 After the Civil War, the Confederates shuffled off their gold.

01:36:29.000 I was thinking it was kind of like a fun adventure.

01:36:31.000 I didn't think it was going to be so serious, but dude, someone apparently died.

01:36:35.000 Anyway, support our work over at TimCast.com.

01:36:37.000 Let's read these superchats.

01:36:39.000 All right, let's see.

01:36:40.000 The Master of Violence says, Ian Crossland is every member of the band Blind Melon in the music video for No Rain.

01:36:47.000 I love that song.

01:36:49.000 Yeah.

01:36:49.000 What's up now?

01:36:50.000 Do they all look like you or something? 0.54

01:36:51.000 I think the lead singer.

01:36:52.000 Yeah, he definitely does.

01:36:54.000 That's awesome.

01:36:54.000 Awesome.

01:36:56.000 All right, let's see.

01:37:00.000 Joe Harshbarger says, Steve, please, please start a ranch in Nebraska.

01:37:04.000 Wide open spaces in the land of the good life.

01:37:08.000 Absolutely.

01:37:08.000 Listen, we'd love to build 10, 15 more.

01:37:13.000 Very expensive to do.

01:37:15.000 And this is why we, you know, we're constantly looking for investors, especially if you have a particular region in mind, because that so speeds up the process to be able to do something like that.

01:37:26.000 Kind of like franchising?

01:37:28.000 Well, I mean, it'd still be part of Fortitude Ranch, but our Texas one exists because somebody donated the land and had the ability to help financially because, you know, you've seen it out in West Virginia.

01:37:39.000 I mean, it takes like a million dollars to do it right.

01:37:42.000 And so it, you know, we're constant.

01:37:43.000 It's part of what I do as COO.

01:37:45.000 Reach out looking for investors.

01:37:47.000 Love to do it.

01:37:47.000 Do you have any plans for like community building exercises and events or anything like that?

01:37:53.000 Yeah, we have training coming up in May, so this will be survival training as we go through and try to help prepare our members.

01:38:03.000 We do want to do it for non-members as well, for those who would like to do that for a fee.

01:38:11.000 We certainly want to help our members specifically but we do want to branch out and this is part again like I was mentioning with with survival housing with the counseling and the ability to help with with housing solutions is we know we can't get it not everybody's going to be able to join right but so if you're looking to do something separately that's what we're looking to help with.

01:38:34.000 I'm just thinking how amazing it is going to be like on a nice cool spring night.

01:38:38.000 You know, you're going throughout the day, you're learning all these important survival skills, but you're hanging out, you're having a good time.

01:38:43.000 Oh, and it really is a great weekend.

01:38:45.000 We go out to eat, right?

01:38:46.000 So it starts on a Saturday at eight o'clock.

01:38:49.000 We have some summer PowerPoint, right, to give you the instruction for the things you're going out to do, like if you're going to train at the ranch.

01:38:56.000 On the firing range.

01:38:58.000 Yeah, firing range.

01:38:59.000 Right, and then we do land navigation, show you how to read maps.

01:39:03.000 We fired a Barrett M82 over at the ranch. 1.00

01:39:07.000 50 BMG.

01:39:09.000 Yeah, that was fun.

01:39:10.000 It wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be.

01:39:12.000 Well, it was amazing that you guys hit something because you didn't have a scope, right?

01:39:17.000 No, we had iron sights.

01:39:18.000 Right, well, but not a scope.

01:39:19.000 I mean, that's not easy to do.

01:39:22.000 That's all I'm saying.

01:39:22.000 Well, so if, you know, for those that are interested, You know, survival training, community building, hanging out with like-minded people and learning some skills.

01:39:31.000 That sounds pretty fun, man.

01:39:32.000 So yeah, maybe you guys will get more up and running.

01:39:36.000 Let's read some more Super Chats. 0.91

01:39:36.000 Sure. 0.91

01:39:38.000 All right.

01:39:39.000 Neo Jade says, Tim, you don't believe it's possible that Cabal is running things?

01:39:43.000 What do you need, a Times article detailing exactly that?

01:39:46.000 Ian natched it.

01:39:48.000 All the chat when Ian said that was like 20.

01:39:50.000 But I'll clarify what I mean is, you know, I don't think that Biden walks into the Great Hall on some island with all these other leaders and then they're like, they've got pictures of Epstein on the wall.

01:40:04.000 And they're just like, you know, Klaus Schwab walks in and says, now you will all do as you are told.

01:40:09.000 I think birds of a feather flock together.

01:40:11.000 I think all of these world leaders meet in Davos.

01:40:15.000 They meet at the UN or the G7, the G20.

01:40:19.000 They all think similarly.

01:40:20.000 They all hang out with each other.

01:40:22.000 It's like if you go to a skate park, and you see 10 skateboarders, all from different parts of the city, they're gonna be speaking the same language, using the same jargon, and wanting the same things.

01:40:31.000 It doesn't mean it's organized.

01:40:32.000 It just means that they've effectively formed... That's what I mean, right?

01:40:37.000 They all know that if it happens in your country, it could happen in my country, so they're like authoritative.

01:40:42.000 Well, what I mean is like...

01:40:44.000 You know, there's a skateboarder from the north side, a skateboarder from the south side, a skateboarder from the east and west sides, and they're all at one skate park.

01:40:49.000 They're saying the same words.

01:40:51.000 Yo, dude just did a nollie flip crook, big spin out, that was sick.

01:40:55.000 And they all know what it means.

01:40:56.000 Yo, build back better, bro!

01:40:57.000 Exactly.

01:40:58.000 They're all saying the same thing, because when they go drink... So there's something called the journal list.

01:41:04.000 It was where journalists were on message boards, private message boards, with each other in New York.

01:41:09.000 So what would happen is one journalist would post a story, they'd all see it, and then all of a sudden every outlet would publish the same story.

01:41:15.000 It wasn't because there was a cabal intentionally trying to control things, it was because journalists were like, I'd like to hang out with journalists.

01:41:22.000 Oh, in this situation- And they just naturally emerged.

01:41:24.000 It was an emergent phenomenon.

01:41:25.000 I believe there's a cabal that is literally trying to control things, just so everyone's clear.

01:41:30.000 No, I certainly think that's- I don't know if they're succeeding or not, but it seems like they are trying to.

01:41:34.000 I think the Davos group wants to control things.

01:41:37.000 I think, but I don't think like... When Biden said build back better, when I heard those words come out of his mouth, I was like, oh, okay, it's been co-opted.

01:41:44.000 But Boris Johnson accused him of stealing it.

01:41:47.000 What the?

01:41:48.000 And Biden's a plagiarist.

01:41:50.000 Oh, yeah.

01:41:50.000 So it's... What if he stole it?

01:41:53.000 He did.

01:41:54.000 From the World Economic Forum and he's not actually a pawn.

01:41:55.000 Biden's a plagiarist, right?

01:41:58.000 He apologized for plagiarizing.

01:41:59.000 He had to drop out of the 1988 presidential election because he got caught plagiarizing.

01:42:03.000 So the simple solution is that Biden is a plagiarist.

01:42:06.000 He was 88.

01:42:06.000 And in Europe, in the EU, they all use the same.

01:42:09.000 Look, I absolutely think Klaus Schwab has plans.

01:42:12.000 I absolutely think he's publicly stated he wants to get people in these cabinets. 0.81

01:42:16.000 I think he is a dangerous, evil individual.

01:42:19.000 I'm just saying, I don't imagine that Biden calls up Klaus Schwab and says, what's the plan?

01:42:24.000 You know what I mean?

01:42:24.000 Yeah.

01:42:24.000 I think they just all hang out and all share the same ideas and then act accordingly.

01:42:30.000 So it makes more sense.

01:42:31.000 Oligarchy as opposed to a top down from Klaus.

01:42:34.000 Yeah.

01:42:35.000 All right.

01:42:35.000 Rob Matt says, do you plan on making a timcast.com app?

01:42:38.000 I'd like to stop using my browser to watch the after show podcast.

01:42:42.000 Yes, we are.

01:42:44.000 It's currently being made.

01:42:45.000 It's being made right now.

01:42:46.000 And for those that are wondering, if you use Brave, the Brave browser, you can actually listen to the podcast while your screen is off.

01:42:54.000 Because I think, I'm pretty sure Brave allows that.

01:42:57.000 All right, let's get some more of these super chats.

01:43:00.000 Seriously.

01:43:04.000 Ukraine's amazing, man.

01:43:06.000 There was actually a period where I was like, I wonder if I could live there, because it's so cheap for an American to live there.

01:43:10.000 Inexpensive.

01:43:11.000 Inexpensive is a better way to put it.

01:43:13.000 And people who have foreign revenue who live there, they live very, very well.

01:43:18.000 So they're Ukrainians who get jobs as programmers and make six figures U.S. 0.79

01:43:23.000 in a country where you only need, you know, a thousand bucks a month, you know, to get lunch and to pay for rent and everything like that.

01:43:29.000 So they live very, very well, relatively.

01:43:34.000 I hear you.

01:43:35.000 Yep, absolutely.

01:43:35.000 I just think, as an American, seeing Joe Biden say these things, it's what the U.S.

01:43:39.000 is in conflict with.

01:43:39.000 the entirety of Europe would oppose Russia and Taiwan and Japan and India would oppose China,

01:43:43.000 right? The world could defend itself without the US. I hear you. Yep, absolutely. I just think as 0.59

01:43:49.000 an American seeing Joe Biden say these things, it's what the US is in conflict with. I certainly

01:43:53.000 think other countries would have conflict as well, which is why we talk about World War III.

01:43:57.000 Jason says, I received the go truck yourself shirt.

01:44:01.000 Love it.

01:44:02.000 Go Tim and Castle Crew.

01:44:03.000 Honk, honk.

01:44:04.000 Nice.

01:44:05.000 Yeah, we have a shirt over at TimCast.com.

01:44:07.000 It says Go Truck Yourself.

01:44:09.000 Go truck yourself to DC.

01:44:12.000 All right.

01:44:13.000 The Happy Holistic says, did you hear Putin's speech?

01:44:16.000 He said they only want that part of Ukraine that was Russia's as a buffer against NATO.

01:44:21.000 The communists gave it away and he rebuked communism while the West has embraced it.

01:44:27.000 Wow.

01:44:28.000 Did he really say that?

01:44:30.000 That's bold.

01:44:31.000 Wow.

01:44:32.000 Well, I mean, in that capacity, I don't know if he's wrong.

01:44:35.000 I used to think, like, I was just terrified.

01:44:37.000 I was like, oh, he's a dictator, he's evil. 0.97

01:44:38.000 But in a way, I think that he's holding on to Russia so that some psycho doesn't take control and then go full woke. 0.97

01:44:44.000 He's like the last vestige of freedom on Earth.

01:44:48.000 Could that even be possible that it was Putin all along?

01:44:50.000 Red, white, and blue?

01:44:52.000 Doubt.

01:44:53.000 All right, Captain says, Ian, the US had B1 and B2 aircraft.

01:44:56.000 China and Russia have been trying to replicate the capabilities of them for decades now. B-52 0.63

01:45:02.000 are for dropping fun police on dudes on horseback that have no anti-air. Iran's got a lot of 0.93

01:45:07.000 anti-air though. But I think people need to realize when it comes to war, we got bombs, we got people,

01:45:17.000 we got technology, but they've got cyber capabilities, China and Russia, and

01:45:21.000 they've got propaganda capabilities, the future of warfare.

01:45:25.000 care.

01:45:26.000 If you got all the nukes in the world, but your country is crippled by civil conflict, you can't fire them. 0.97

01:45:31.000 They may as well be useless.

01:45:32.000 You may as well not have them.

01:45:33.000 Yeah, and I mean, Russia has, you know, not the same quantities as far as what we have in the best of the equipment, but they have awesome, you know, air defense.

01:45:43.000 They got hypersonic missiles now at this point.

01:45:46.000 I mean, they're no slouch, don't get me wrong.

01:45:47.000 I looked, I think China has about 500 nuclear warheads and that they're expected to have 1000 of them in 10 years.

01:45:53.000 That was big news that China was rapidly building new silos.

01:45:53.000 That's right.

01:45:57.000 Yep.

01:45:59.000 Well, of course, you know.

01:46:03.000 All right.

01:46:04.000 Excited says, Tim gets mad at Ian for talking about mixing household items.

01:46:08.000 Tim also gives a rundown on taking down power plants.

01:46:12.000 I didn't say how they were taken down.

01:46:14.000 I said 10 years ago there was a flaw publicly disclosed.

01:46:20.000 All right.

01:46:21.000 Love you guys.

01:46:22.000 All right.

01:46:22.000 Michael Adkin says- Thanks for paying attention.

01:46:24.000 That's right.

01:46:25.000 Michael Adkin says Kaliningrad was part of Germany where Immanuel Kant was born.

01:46:30.000 Is that true?

01:46:31.000 How did it come to be that this little pocket exists?

01:46:31.000 Yeah.

01:46:34.000 Because when the end of World War II, when everybody was dividing everything up, they made sure that- Russia. 0.98

01:46:40.000 Yeah.

01:46:40.000 They were smart enough- Very smart.

01:46:41.000 They wanted access to the Baltic Sea.

01:46:42.000 Absolutely.

01:46:43.000 Man, they planned ahead.

01:46:45.000 Yeah.

01:46:47.000 Russia.

01:46:47.000 Doing Russia stuff, man.

01:46:50.000 Mr. Physics says, here's the messed up part, guys.

01:46:52.000 Putin is 100% correct.

01:46:54.000 All of the Baltics, besides Poland and Lithuania, from like 860 to 1991, the Klevan line was destroyed by the Mongols and gave rise to Muscovy. 0.79

01:47:05.000 All the Baltics, what, were Russia.

01:47:07.000 I know that Kiev was the capital of Russia, what, in like 1,080 or something like that?

01:47:11.000 How about how far you want to go back?

01:47:13.000 To the cavemen?

01:47:13.000 Right, exactly.

01:47:14.000 Is that right?

01:47:16.000 There's the original lines of demarcation.

01:47:18.000 I mean, you know.

01:47:20.000 Yeah, the Rus princes took this land from someone else.

01:47:20.000 Right.

01:47:23.000 Right.

01:47:24.000 Yep.

01:47:26.000 Let's see what we got here.

01:47:28.000 John says, John Hutto says, Odessa is heavily Russian and Moldova is very sympathetic.

01:47:34.000 Could he create a new Moldova inside Russia? 0.75

01:47:41.000 Again, they don't underestimate the effects of the Russification and how people feel a connection in certain parts of what used to be the former Soviet Union.

01:47:53.000 Speaking of Moldova, I have a piece of Moldovite.

01:47:55.000 This is a little off topic.

01:47:56.000 This is volcanic glass.

01:47:58.000 Or no, this is from an asteroid impact.

01:47:59.000 And then it creates this green glass found in Moldova.

01:48:02.000 I think it's found in Moldova.

01:48:03.000 Cool.

01:48:04.000 Soleil Cucumber says, Biden says he can tolerate just the tip.

01:48:09.000 I don't believe him.

01:48:11.000 Prove it!

01:48:12.000 There you go.

01:48:17.000 Micah says, Tim, I think the police in Canada are being controlled by an inhibitor chip like the clones on Star Wars.

01:48:22.000 Just a thought.

01:48:23.000 That's the only way to explain it, right?

01:48:25.000 When they stood there all silent?

01:48:26.000 No, there's leaked messages where they're laughing about trampling a woman with their horses.

01:48:31.000 Like an old lady was on a mobility scooter and they trampled over her on a horse and they're gloating and laughing about the injuries. 0.92

01:48:37.000 I will say, conservatives are getting a cold splash of water in the face on this one.

01:48:42.000 With these cops just brutalizing conservatives, they've been doing it now for some time.

01:48:47.000 The moment conservatives start protesting, like, wait a minute, the cops are beating us.

01:48:50.000 We're the ones who supported them.

01:48:52.000 So yeah, they don't care.

01:48:53.000 The royal police, man.

01:48:55.000 Yeah, that's why, look, I remember when Attila's gym was getting shut down and the cops were there

01:49:01.000 and the guys at Attila's gym, like, we're going to have him on.

01:49:04.000 But they were saying, don't blame the cops, they're just doing their job.

01:49:07.000 And I'm like, what?

01:49:09.000 Those cops don't gotta come and shut you down. 0.94

01:49:11.000 They could leave.

01:49:12.000 The first cops from that town did.

01:49:14.000 They were like, have a nice day.

01:49:16.000 Then they pulled in cops from other cities who came in and said, we don't live here and we don't care.

01:49:20.000 And brought the boot to people's necks. 0.99

01:49:22.000 There was a counterpoint to what's going on in Canada.

01:49:25.000 There was this one trucker on the Daily Mail. 1.00

01:49:26.000 He said they were as dumb as a bag of hammers. 1.00

01:49:29.000 They acted like Keystone Cops. 1.00

01:49:32.000 Trucker Guy Mystery 53. 1.00

01:49:33.000 Dumber than a bag of hammers. 0.98

01:49:34.000 What's a Keystone Cop metaphor? 0.99

01:49:36.000 What does that mean exactly? 1.00

01:49:38.000 There were these old black and white reels of the cops that were really stupid. 1.00

01:49:42.000 Charlie Chaplin days. 0.99

01:49:43.000 I just watched a really interesting documentary which I found out was really worth watching.

01:49:48.000 Oh, Keystone Film Company, 1912 to 1917.

01:49:51.000 Yeah, Charlie Chaplin.

01:49:53.000 It was an amazing story, but that's where that comes from. 1.00

01:49:57.000 Anyway, point being, this one guy said that the cops are too stupid to be able to do their job right. 0.99

01:50:00.000 At least the ones that arrested him and zip-tied him in five-degree weather for 30 minutes. 1.00

01:50:03.000 Wow.

01:50:04.000 Geez.

01:50:04.000 Yeah.

01:50:07.000 Alright, Alex Jones Was Right says, Tim, you've said before social media tends to become right-wing, and now the world seems to becoming right-wing, thanks to the internet.

01:50:18.000 In what some call the Great Awakening, could this be the reason for the Great Reset?

01:50:23.000 No, I don't think so.

01:50:24.000 I think The Great Reset is a very specific plan by powerful international elites.

01:50:31.000 Like Klaus Schwab, he just comes out and says all this stuff, so you know the World Economic Forum, Davos Group, they've got plans there.

01:50:38.000 But I do think the expansion of the internet has allowed meritocracy to rapidly expand.

01:50:43.000 If you look at what this show is, When this show started, when I started working on YouTube, even before this show, nobody gave me money.

01:50:51.000 Nobody came to me and said, here's an investment and here's access to advertisement.

01:50:56.000 I just started a YouTube channel and started making content.

01:50:58.000 I did better and better.

01:50:59.000 People liked it.

01:51:00.000 They shared it.

01:51:00.000 Organic growth.

01:51:01.000 There was zero advertising involved in any of this.

01:51:05.000 Zero marketing.

01:51:06.000 It was just organic growth based on what we put together and constantly improving and doing a better job.

01:51:11.000 And journalists right now though, They'll get out of college, they'll have no skills, they'll apply and be hired by NBC News, which has an existing platform, and be given a megaphone.

01:51:22.000 There's no meritocracy.

01:51:24.000 The reason I think the internet makes things more right-wing is because meritocracy ends up flourishing due to it.

01:51:31.000 Before the internet, if you wanted access, you had to go through a gatekeeper.

01:51:35.000 But you also had to speak their language.

01:51:36.000 Like, I was locked out of Hollywood because I wouldn't bow.

01:51:39.000 And you were locked out of Univision.

01:51:41.000 I think it was Univision, right?

01:51:42.000 How was it that they hired me?

01:51:43.000 They golden handcuffed you.

01:51:44.000 One of those companies.

01:51:45.000 Disney or something?

01:51:46.000 Yeah, well, the first six months, they were like, you're doing great.

01:51:48.000 And then as soon as they decided to get woke, I said no.

01:51:50.000 And they went, okay, well then.

01:51:51.000 Real merit can't function in weird corporate autocracy where it's all about speak party line.

01:51:57.000 Like, merit emerges independently.

01:52:00.000 I had a really good idea for a video game that I pitched to Vice and to ABC because they were like, we'd be interested in pursuing, you know, production.

01:52:08.000 And the idea was to do an online game where once a week an apocalyptic scenario happens.

01:52:14.000 Oh, I would love to.

01:52:15.000 I was just playing Seven Days to Die last night.

01:52:16.000 I would love to use something like this.

01:52:18.000 So here's the idea.

01:52:19.000 You play the game Monday through Thursday.

01:52:21.000 You collect items.

01:52:22.000 You run around.

01:52:23.000 You do whatever.

01:52:24.000 Or you don't.

01:52:25.000 Friday, around 7pm, an apocalyptic scenario happens.

01:52:29.000 An alien invasion.

01:52:30.000 A flood.

01:52:31.000 Volcanic eruption.

01:52:32.000 Zombie apocalypse.

01:52:34.000 Military dictatorship.

01:52:35.000 And then the goal is survive the weekend.

01:52:38.000 Or, you know, survive the scenario.

01:52:41.000 Maybe it would only be for like three hours.

01:52:43.000 And then data would process the next day.

01:52:46.000 Sunday they would release.

01:52:47.000 Here's how people responded to the crisis.

01:52:49.000 So if it was like an alien invasion, it would be like 73% of players hid in the basement.

01:52:54.000 3% of players went on rampages.

01:52:57.000 You know, 1% peacefully walked up to the aliens.

01:52:59.000 If it's a zombie apocalypse, it would like break down.

01:53:02.000 Here's how we analyzed player behavior when this scenario was presented to them.

01:53:06.000 So it's like, it would just be an open world game, kind of like a GTA, until the scenario every Friday night.

01:53:12.000 Or maybe it's Sunday night would be better.

01:53:13.000 Or Monday morning.

01:53:14.000 What's good news?

01:53:15.000 No, people are working.

01:53:15.000 Good for news, yeah.

01:53:17.000 Monday morning we could release the data.

01:53:19.000 That was the plan.

01:53:20.000 And they, I mean, they were all like, wow, these are great.

01:53:25.000 I think if, maybe it's a game we'll make, now that we have the ability to do so.

01:53:30.000 But in the company, They have no obligation to make a game they have no experience in making.

01:53:34.000 And a lot of people there were like, it's a good idea, we'll explore this.

01:53:36.000 But what you were saying about meritocracy not working there, it doesn't work there because they're all following a path.

01:53:43.000 They're all told, do task A, B, C, D. What I propose deviates from that path.

01:53:48.000 So they ignore it.

01:53:49.000 Never.

01:53:49.000 And it doesn't happen.

01:53:50.000 You know what I told Vice and Fusion?

01:53:53.000 I said to Vice in 2013, All of your personalities should have YouTube channels.

01:53:58.000 Yes.

01:53:58.000 You should hire producers for them who film them at their desks talking about the news stories and what they're passionate about.

01:54:05.000 And they were like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:54:06.000 Yeah, we're not going to do that.

01:54:08.000 And imagine how big it would have been.

01:54:10.000 It would have been huge, dude.

01:54:11.000 Well, I mean, look at what we're doing.

01:54:13.000 I told Fusion the same thing.

01:54:14.000 And Fusion actually said, give it a shot.

01:54:16.000 See what you can do.

01:54:17.000 And I said, sure.

01:54:18.000 And it worked.

01:54:19.000 I mean, it worked moderately well.

01:54:21.000 I was producing stuff for my own channel, but it wasn't exactly what I had pitched.

01:54:25.000 It could have been so big for them.

01:54:27.000 And now look at all these big YouTubers.

01:54:30.000 They're not the journalists.

01:54:31.000 They could have listened to me.

01:54:32.000 They didn't want to.

01:54:32.000 That disaster game is awesome, man.

01:54:34.000 It could be a good analytic learning tool of human psychology if it's like a free... Yeah, you could do COVID.

01:54:40.000 As long as... Like, Friday night, all of a sudden, everyone gets a respiratory disease and starts dropping dead.

01:54:44.000 That's dope. 0.93

01:54:44.000 If it's a proprietary game, that might suck, because then Facebook gets the data. 0.93

01:54:48.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:54:49.000 Make it like a human learning tool.

01:54:51.000 The idea was to create a base game that was open to community modification through some kind of democratic process, and we would need the assistance of the community for planning and preparing scenarios.

01:55:01.000 So there could be like cool scripted events where like at 7pm all of a sudden in the game sirens go off and then all the TVs and all of the video game storefronts turn on and it's like the president Trump or Biden or whoever and they're like martial law lockdowns happening now and then you see troops being deployed all throughout the cities and how do you play that game?

01:55:17.000 What do you do?

01:55:19.000 If the goal is to survive.

01:55:21.000 And then if you win, you get a bonus or something.

01:55:23.000 That's crazy, dude.

01:55:24.000 That'd be a fun game, huh?

01:55:25.000 I wonder what people would do cannibalism in the video game.

01:55:28.000 Because it's a video game!

01:55:30.000 Yeah, you'd need food and stuff.

01:55:31.000 We were like, you'd have to survive.

01:55:33.000 It'd only be for a few hours.

01:55:35.000 But the Great Flood would be funny.

01:55:37.000 Because people who are on the ground running around and driving around would get wiped out instantly.

01:55:40.000 In their basement.

01:55:41.000 They're like, my basement is fully stocked.

01:55:42.000 And people would be like, I'm gonna hide in my house, and then all of a sudden it fills with water and you lose.

01:55:47.000 And the people who were on skyscrapers got lucky.

01:55:49.000 And it would just be like, 83% of players were on the ground and died.

01:55:52.000 And you'd be like, aw, come on!

01:55:55.000 Some people would be in boats.

01:55:56.000 You know, that's one idea.

01:55:57.000 Anyway, we should read some more of these.

01:55:59.000 Patrick C. said, Ian is rolling double 20s all night!

01:56:03.000 Double deuce.

01:56:04.000 Let me just shout out this awesome 20 sided die again just received today.

01:56:04.000 Yeah.

01:56:09.000 Very, very amazing.

01:56:11.000 Would it?

01:56:13.000 And yes, you are right, sir.

01:56:14.000 Thank you very much.

01:56:15.000 All right.

01:56:17.000 I just missed it.

01:56:17.000 We had a good one.

01:56:18.000 Where did it go?

01:56:20.000 Buck rust says, first time super chat resident of Frederick, Maryland.

01:56:25.000 During the mandate, we never complied.

01:56:27.000 Grocery store was fine.

01:56:28.000 No one bothered us, but five below toy store called the police.

01:56:32.000 Wow.

01:56:33.000 That's weird.

01:56:34.000 Five below called the cops.

01:56:36.000 The mandate was in effect for like a month.

01:56:39.000 It was the most weird.

01:56:40.000 It was the weirdest thing.

01:56:42.000 They were like, we're doing a mandate.

01:56:43.000 And then I guess when no one listened, they were like, oh, we're not going to do the mandate anymore.

01:56:47.000 Yeah, literally on the first day they brought it back, I went to Barnes & Noble and we were like, we're not gonna wear masks, we're gonna see if anyone says anything.

01:56:53.000 No one said a thing.

01:56:54.000 The whole time this mandate was back.

01:56:56.000 That's insane that that store called the police.

01:56:58.000 That's wild.

01:56:59.000 Frankie Sherat says, Tim, how is the new baby chick?

01:57:02.000 It was awesome to see that on Cast Castle.

01:57:05.000 If you go to youtube.com slash Cast Castle, we have a video of one of a baby chick hatching.

01:57:10.000 In fact, two hatched.

01:57:11.000 Two.

01:57:12.000 The other one came out?

01:57:13.000 Yeah.

01:57:13.000 I was giving it love last night.

01:57:15.000 I went down at 2 in the morning sending love and health and I'm here with you.

01:57:15.000 It came out.

01:57:19.000 Totally healthy.

01:57:20.000 Popped out, happy as can be, and now we've got 22 more eggs in the incubator.

01:57:24.000 Oh my.

01:57:25.000 We are rapidly expanding this year, Chicken City.

01:57:27.000 Alright.

01:57:28.000 All right, Joe Masinik says, I noticed Tim started building on Ian's comments recently.

01:57:33.000 It's definitely a plus four to Ian's dice rolling and makes the show better.

01:57:36.000 Keep up the good work, everyone.

01:57:38.000 Well, I got to be honest.

01:57:39.000 It's because Ian is rolling more 20s.

01:57:40.000 If Ian rolls a one, I'm going to be like, no, no, no.

01:57:44.000 That's why Tim's in my party.

01:57:45.000 Because he's honest.

01:57:47.000 No, Ian's been rolling some 20s.

01:57:49.000 I mean, even people, people were saying I was the one who rolled the one when you said the cabal was controlling the planet.

01:57:53.000 Oh, the cabal.

01:57:55.000 Good conversation.

01:57:56.000 They were like, Tim, you're wrong.

01:57:57.000 There is a cabal.

01:57:58.000 I'm like, alright, alright.

01:58:00.000 Alright, everybody.

01:58:00.000 Alright, we'll grab some more Super Chats here.

01:58:05.000 Brian Wisecarver says, I'm at the beginning of the People's Convoy coordinating incoming donations in California.

01:58:12.000 We're leaving tomorrow.

01:58:13.000 I've emailed pitches at timcast.com to communicate with you guys.

01:58:18.000 Send an email to spintheufo at gmail.com if you could.

01:58:21.000 Can you look for that?

01:58:22.000 I will.

01:58:22.000 And that's Brian Wisecarver.

01:58:24.000 And then we're trying to coordinate some kind of coverage of the U.S.

01:58:28.000 Convoy.

01:58:29.000 Checking right now.

01:58:31.000 Yeah.

01:58:33.000 Sean Jack says, have you looked into local building codes for constructing earthships and passive housing in the survival housing communities?

01:58:42.000 Yeah, one of the things we actually try to do is build in areas that have less of the bureaucratic part of things as far as, you know, like out in West Virginia, there is no building code.

01:58:56.000 So I mean, obviously, we stick to standard, you know, measures for safety of everybody involved through the things that we build.

01:59:03.000 But when you're talking survival, though, you know, it's all about location, location, location.

01:59:08.000 So you don't have to have This is a good one.

01:59:18.000 Garhent says, How are you going to prevent sectarian violence in the ranch?

01:59:22.000 It's not impossible for Biden collapsing the world.

01:59:24.000 And how many members will have Biden bumper stickers?

01:59:27.000 Might want blue-red ranches. 0.97

01:59:30.000 No, actually, so what happens is this kind of happens organically.

01:59:34.000 I couldn't really choose a better, you know, I don't know every member in all the other locations, but in West Virginia, it's an amazing combination of folks.

01:59:43.000 Now, we don't vet, we don't ask you what your political affiliation is, anything like that.

01:59:48.000 But people who tend to gravitate towards wanting to be a member, they tend to be of like-mindedness.

01:59:54.000 And so we really don't have That is a major situation but one of the key things is I try to spend as much time as I can getting to know the members allow them to get to know me and a key to why some of these who try to do it on their own it falls apart because there is no leadership where there's clear lines of leadership you know at every ranch that's why we only hire former law enforcement or military and by the way we're looking to hire again since we've expanded so

02:00:24.000 What roles?

02:00:25.000 As ranch manager, and we have a position for assistant ranch manager, and so if people want to reach out to FortitudeRanch.com and reach out to manager at FortitudeRanch.com, we'll be collecting those resumes and reaching out to folks.

02:03:06.000 The best part about Fortitude Ranch is the dog that licks rocks.

02:03:08.000 Yes.

02:03:09.000 Ringo.

02:03:11.000 I'm not joking.

02:03:12.000 He grabs a big rock, makes sure you're looking at him, and then just puts his tongue on it and sits there.

02:03:17.000 Yeah.

02:03:17.000 It's the funniest part.

02:03:18.000 Mineralization.

02:03:20.000 They got into skunks about three days ago.

02:03:23.000 I gotta wash him.

02:03:24.000 Oh man.

02:03:25.000 Alright.

02:03:53.000 Thank you guys so much for coming and I'll see you later.

02:03:56.000 And before we go, I wanted to say that I do have to agree with Tim.

02:03:59.000 This is not a cabal.

02:03:59.000 The definition of a cabal is a secret political clique or faction.

02:04:03.000 This is not a secret.

02:04:04.000 So what's going on with the elites is definitely not a cabal.

02:04:07.000 I'm Sarah Patchlitz.

02:04:08.000 You can follow me on Twitter and at Mayans.com.

02:04:10.000 We will see all of you over at TimCast.com for that member segment.
