On May 28th, 2011, a gorilla named Harambe was shot and killed in a zoo. Five years later, the world is still trying to figure out who's to blame. Is it the zoo, the gorilla, or the little boy?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 I'd like to start today's episode off on a very serious note.
00:00:26.000 It is May 28th, 2021, and five years ago, there was a very serious moment that kicked off all of this conflict.
00:00:36.000 All of the fighting and all of the hatred.
00:00:38.000 Something that happened in this country that just tore people apart at their core.
00:00:43.000 It's the killing of Harambee.
00:00:45.000 Five years ago today.
00:00:46.000 I just posted about that.
00:00:49.000 They took our boy.
00:00:50.000 And from that, everyone just erupted in rage.
00:00:53.000 No one could understand the pain, the grief was so intense that we've been fighting ever since.
00:00:59.000 Harambe.
00:00:59.000 R.I.P.
00:01:01.000 I missed Harambe.
00:01:04.000 You know when you're a kid sometimes you're in elementary school or grade school and like you miss a day and then it just happens to be a crucial day.
00:01:14.000 Five years ago today you're like sitting here eating a burrito.
00:01:18.000 I was unplugged from this and then And then everybody's talking about Harambe.
00:01:22.000 If you can explain to me in two or three sentences, Harambe.
00:01:26.000 They killed the gorilla.
00:01:27.000 Who?
00:01:28.000 The zoo.
00:01:29.000 He had a little boy, he fell in.
00:01:30.000 And he was like dragging him, so they shot and killed him.
00:01:33.000 Harambe was the young...
00:01:37.000 There's a gorilla.
00:01:38.000 He's a gorilla.
00:01:39.000 So they shot the gorilla to save the little boy.
00:01:39.000 The gorilla, okay.
00:01:41.000 Got it.
00:01:42.000 And everyone's like, it became a meme.
00:01:44.000 They took our boy, Harambe, and it's been five years, everybody.
00:01:47.000 Elon Musk produced a song about it.
00:01:49.000 It's true.
00:01:50.000 Highly recommend.
00:01:51.000 Very true.
00:01:51.000 Check that one out.
00:01:53.000 No, I do feel bad about this gorilla being killed.
00:01:55.000 It's still sad, but it's a meme, so hey, everybody, thanks for hanging out.
00:01:59.000 It was not really a serious opening, but I wonder if people are genuinely offended by, like, don't you dare insult the memory of Harambe!
00:02:06.000 Whose fault was it?
00:02:07.000 Was it the gorilla or the little boy?
00:02:08.000 The little boy fell in.
00:02:10.000 A human falls in a gorilla cage, the gorilla mauls the human, they kill the gorilla.
00:02:13.000 Whose fault was it?
00:02:15.000 If this would happen today, wouldn't you see an expose of the little boy?
00:02:18.000 Wouldn't the media try to destroy this kid's life?
00:02:22.000 You know, his parents, his family and everything.
00:02:22.000 Yeah, I guess.
00:02:24.000 Yeah.
00:02:25.000 This unarmed gorilla was killed by the authorities?
00:02:28.000 Right.
00:02:28.000 I mean, do we know anything about the kid?
00:02:30.000 Yeah.
00:02:31.000 Yeah.
00:02:31.000 What was the kid doing?
00:02:32.000 Was there even a kid?
00:02:33.000 Was the kid like skulking around looking all like peacocking?
00:02:37.000 He was trying to try to steal, you know, from Harambe's house.
00:02:40.000 It's only three.
00:02:41.000 Harambe was just defending himself.
00:02:42.000 Oh, the kid was three?
00:02:43.000 Yeah.
00:02:43.000 Yeah.
00:02:44.000 Oh, okay.
00:02:45.000 Yeah.
00:02:45.000 So he doesn't even remember.
00:02:47.000 Can't blame the stuff story, but let's get into the this the serious story. Uh, this one's risky
00:02:52.000 You know, I it gave me pause looking at this news cuz I'm like, well YouTube might absolutely ban us
00:02:57.000 We've got reporting out that there's a study suggesting or a flat-out saying that the vial kovat was made
00:03:05.000 By China made by them and that after the lab leak they panicked and retro
00:03:10.000 Engineered it to try and make it seem like it was naturally occurring
00:03:14.000 Now, the only reason it's been reported by the Daily Mail, it's like a front page story.
00:03:19.000 Maybe it's not true.
00:03:21.000 Of course, this is a NewsGuard certified source, so I'm not going to ignore a breaking story even if YouTube punishes us for it.
00:03:26.000 But the other thing is Fauci himself said that he wasn't convinced it was naturally occurring.
00:03:31.000 If it's not naturally occurring, then what does that mean?
00:03:35.000 It emerged next to the Wuhan lab.
00:03:38.000 Fauci is the one who opened the door for this conversation, so... So be it!
00:03:41.000 We need to talk about it.
00:03:42.000 And we'll talk about much stuff.
00:03:43.000 It's Friday.
00:03:44.000 We take things easy.
00:03:45.000 We chill pretty much on Friday.
00:03:47.000 And we're being joined today by national security analyst, author, Dave Reboy.
00:03:52.000 David Reboy.
00:03:53.000 You wanna introduce yourself real quick?
00:03:55.000 Sure.
00:03:56.000 I tweet at DaveReboy.com.
00:04:00.000 Well, I, at Dave Urboy, I have a website at DaveUrboy.com where I've got writing, I write about music, I write about politics, international affairs.
00:04:10.000 And the collapse of this country.
00:04:11.000 And the collapse of the country.
00:04:13.000 Because this is, you know, we're in a civilizational crisis period and, you know, that's on the menu.
00:04:19.000 I have this book called Qatar's Shadow War that I wrote, which is available.
00:04:25.000 Um, on the, on the site or on Amazon or wherever.
00:04:27.000 Very cool.
00:04:28.000 We'll talk about it.
00:04:28.000 Cool.
00:04:29.000 And, uh, and yeah, we can talk about it.
00:04:31.000 Great to be here.
00:04:32.000 This guy, this guy, Ian is sitting here.
00:04:33.000 What up, homie?
00:04:34.000 Yeah.
00:04:34.000 Okay.
00:04:35.000 What's going on with Ian's camera?
00:04:36.000 It's giving me static.
00:04:37.000 You look like yesterday.
00:04:38.000 Give me the skinny.
00:04:39.000 You look just like you did yesterday, which is actually an issue because I'm pretty sure something's going on with your camera.
00:04:45.000 Table of the Elements, what's up?
00:04:47.000 Yeah, we can't see you at all.
00:04:48.000 What is happening, Tim?
00:04:50.000 Ian's camera's just frozen on a still of him.
00:04:51.000 I tried to fix it twice.
00:04:53.000 I've been running around the studio like a crazy person.
00:04:57.000 What do you think?
00:04:58.000 Let me try.
00:04:58.000 Let's see if Tim can magically fix it.
00:05:00.000 Anyway, I'm also here in the corner.
00:05:03.000 It's Friday.
00:05:03.000 Yeah, we're chilling.
00:05:04.000 I'll tell you a little story.
00:05:05.000 Oh boy.
00:05:05.000 There was a frog, and he was having a hard time in the woods, so he ended up meeting this other frog.
00:05:13.000 And the two of them went off and they, uh, you gotta figure it out?
00:05:16.000 It's still frozen!
00:05:17.000 Yeah, it's just frozen.
00:05:18.000 WTF, Ian?
00:05:20.000 Well, I'll, uh... Your magnetic force is too much.
00:05:23.000 I'll listen for a while and, uh... Oh, sorry.
00:05:25.000 You wanna switch chairs?
00:05:26.000 Yeah, sure.
00:05:27.000 Actually, yeah, that could work.
00:05:28.000 Alright, we're gonna wing it, guys.
00:05:29.000 It's Friday.
00:05:30.000 Is the other camera on?
00:05:31.000 I'll turn it on.
00:05:32.000 It's funny because, like, you hear Ian talking and there's just, like, a still of him, just, like, in a weird face.
00:05:38.000 Well, I do have news.
00:05:38.000 We have, uh, upgrades coming.
00:05:39.000 So that computer we ordered months ago is finally getting put together.
00:05:43.000 And hopefully we'll get it and, uh, you know.
00:05:47.000 Rebuild.
00:05:47.000 Alright, let's see.
00:05:48.000 Let's see if we can see Ian.
00:05:49.000 Can we see Ian?
00:05:50.000 There he is!
00:05:51.000 Yes!
00:05:52.000 Is your microphone working?
00:05:54.000 No, it's not working.
00:05:55.000 It's on.
00:05:56.000 It is?
00:05:56.000 Yeah, we're good.
00:05:58.000 Looking good.
00:05:59.000 Yeah, I can't hear.
00:06:01.000 Can you hear anything at all?
00:06:01.000 It's a little low.
00:06:02.000 Alright, let me turn him up a bit.
00:06:04.000 We've had a ton of lingering issues after the power went out.
00:06:06.000 So we had a really bad storm, knocked all the power out, and then everything kind of got frazzled.
00:06:09.000 But, you know, whatever.
00:06:10.000 Ian is here. He's gonna get this plasma ball charged.
00:06:13.000 Cool. You gotta plug it in.
00:06:14.000 Rock and roll!
00:06:15.000 So for those that are wondering, we've had a ton of lingering issues after the power went out.
00:06:19.000 So we had a really bad storm, knocked all the power out, and then everything kind of got frazzled.
00:06:23.000 But, you know, whatever. You'd think we'd be professionals at this point, but...
00:06:28.000 This looks like a professional outfit to me.
00:06:30.000 It looks like it.
00:06:31.000 It's like almost there.
00:06:32.000 It's like halfway there.
00:06:33.000 It looks like it, but we're winging it half the time.
00:06:36.000 Semi-pro.
00:06:37.000 We just got an AV guy to set compression, and we've been doing the show for over a year, like a year and a half.
00:06:42.000 Yeah.
00:06:43.000 Everyone's like, the sound is bad.
00:06:44.000 It's like, eh, we'll figure it out.
00:06:47.000 It's fine.
00:06:47.000 We'll get there.
00:06:49.000 Yeah, I sure can.
00:06:49.000 It's fine.
00:06:50.000 I can turn you up, man.
00:06:51.000 All right, everybody.
00:06:51.000 Hey.
00:06:52.000 How's that, Ian?
00:06:53.000 Before we get started.

00:07:05.000 Look at that, we got Jack Murphy, we got Lauren Chen.
00:07:07.000 You guys both love, you love them both.
00:07:10.000 And we were talking about the Black Lives Matter founder quitting.
00:07:13.000 So if you want to get this content, go to the site, become a member.
00:07:15.000 But here's the thing, when you're a member, you're helping support our work
00:07:20.000 and that money goes into hiring more people.
00:07:22.000 We're a couple of weeks out from bringing on our own newsroom.
00:07:26.000 I rank journalists, we're taking pitches for movies, for shows.
00:07:29.000 We're gonna be doing a whole bunch of stuff and building up this big network.
00:07:31.000 It takes time though, because we got to hire a lot of people
00:07:33.000 and quality control, man, is very difficult.
00:07:36.000 But I'll tell you what, if you really, really like what we do, and you think what we say is important, whether we're right or wrong, if you agree with the conversation at least, and if you really agree with the message, share this video, share this podcast.
00:07:50.000 We don't have a big marketing department like, you know, CNN, but they get hundreds of millions of views per month because the system is rigged.
00:07:56.000 YouTube will put them on the front page.
00:07:58.000 Everybody hates it, but they do it.
00:08:00.000 And then people share that stuff.
00:08:01.000 So, we gotta push back.
00:08:02.000 That's how you do it.
00:08:03.000 But, you know, you can buy people's books.
00:08:04.000 You can buy books from people like Dave Raboy, the Cutter's Shadow War, or, you know, books from people like Michael Malice or Michael Knowles.
00:08:10.000 You just gotta be active.
00:08:11.000 You gotta throw some skin in the game.
00:08:14.000 But let's talk about the story that's gonna get us in trouble.
00:08:17.000 Here we go.
00:08:18.000 Exclusive from the Daily Mail.
00:08:20.000 They say COVID-19 has no credible natural ancestor and was created by Chinese scientists who then tried to cover their tracks with, quote, retroengineering to make it seem like it naturally arose from bats.
00:08:36.000 Explosive new study claims.
00:08:38.000 They say, The study researchers found unique fingerprints in COVID-19 samples they say could only have arisen from manipulation in a laboratory.
00:08:47.000 Now, I will stress, we've already heard this last year.
00:08:51.000 And you had that one guy, Luke, what's his... I can't remember his name.
00:08:54.000 He's a famous virologist, won the Nobel Peace Prize, said the same thing.
00:08:58.000 They called him a conspiracy theorist.
00:08:58.000 They called him a crackpot.
00:09:00.000 We've heard similar things before, we're hearing it again.
00:09:02.000 And the weirdest thing right now is there's a bunch of journalists that are like, there's no evidence LabLeak is real.
00:09:07.000 There's all the evidence that it was natural zoologic, you know, transfer or whatever.
00:09:10.000 And I'm like, alright, let me break down where we're at so far.
00:09:17.000 Okay, I'm gonna start with the timeline as we know it now, not what's the timeline of the reporting.
00:09:24.000 U.S.
00:09:24.000 provided funding to EcoHealth Alliance.
00:09:27.000 Money from that pool went to the Wuhan lab for what's called gain-of-function research, where they tried to make viruses gain functions.
00:09:36.000 The idea is that by making a virus stronger, we'll understand it before it emerges in the wild.
00:09:43.000 So that's happening.
00:09:44.000 Then around November 2019, some people got sick.
00:09:47.000 Videos came out, reports came out, suggesting that at some point, people had been bitten by a bat or bats had peed on somebody.
00:09:54.000 So then, a few months later, we start getting reports of this sickness emerging in Wuhan.
00:10:00.000 It starts spreading, and then we start getting speculation that it's from the wet market across the street from the Wuhan lab.
00:10:09.000 Already people are asking questions.
00:10:11.000 Could it have emerged?
00:10:12.000 And, you know, I said often, you know, look, if it's a bad coronavirus, people in a wet market, it's unsanitary.
00:10:19.000 Actually, I would argue that makes more sense, simply because A biolab still has security, a wet market doesn't.
00:10:26.000 So if you told me to put a hundred bucks down, I'd be like, yeah, the place with no security.
00:10:30.000 Why would I bet on the place with security?
00:10:32.000 But then when you factor in the fact that they were doing gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses, when you factor in that people were getting sick, everything starts to line up.
00:10:40.000 Now we got Fauci himself saying he's not convinced it occurred naturally, and then we get the story.
00:10:45.000 They go on to say, Daily Mail exclusively obtained a 22-page paper authored by the British professor Angus Dalgleish and Norwegian scientist Dr. Berger Sorensen, set to be published in the Quarterly Review of Biophysics Discovery.
00:10:59.000 The studies show that there's evidence to suggest Chinese scientists created the virus while working on a gain-of-function project at the Wuhan lab.
00:11:07.000 Gain-of-function research, which was temporarily outlawed in the U.S., involves altering naturally occurring viruses to make them more infectious in order to study their potential effects on humans.
00:11:18.000 According to the paper, Chinese scientists took a natural coronavirus backbone found in Chinese cave bats and spliced onto it a new spike, turning it into the deadly and highly transmissible COVID-19.
00:11:30.000 The researchers who concluded that COVID-19 has no credible natural ancestor
00:11:34.000 also believe scientists reverse engineered versions of the virus to cover up their tracks.
00:11:39.000 We think that there have been retro-engineered viruses created, Dalgleish told DailyMail.com.
00:11:45.000 They've changed the virus, then tried to make out it was a sequence years ago. The study also points
00:11:51.000 to deliberate destruction, concealment, or contamination of data in Chinese labs and notes
00:11:55.000 that scientists who wish to share their findings haven't been able to do so or have disappeared.
00:12:01.000 Now that's where it gets a little weird.
00:12:03.000 I'd like to read about that because it sounded a bit conspiratorial.
00:12:07.000 Until recently, most experts have staunchly denied the origins of the virus were anything other than natural infection leaping from animals to human.
00:12:14.000 Earlier this week, Dr. Anthony Fauci defended U.S.
00:12:17.000 funding of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, saying the $600,000 grant was not approved for gain-of-function research.
00:12:23.000 And I also want to make sure we absolutely stress Fauci bombshell as reported by the hill.com not convinced COVID-19 developed naturally outside Wuhan lab Take just take that quote from Fauci.
00:12:36.000 All right, we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna sit here We're gonna say I don't know about this study.
00:12:39.000 Maybe the study is not true.
00:12:40.000 All right YouTube's banned people for less but Fauci said he's not convinced it developed naturally outside the lab If the first reported cases were from outside the lab, but it didn't develop naturally outside the lab, then it stands to reason the lab leak hypothesis is true and it was manufactured in the lab.
00:12:40.000 I don't know.
00:12:58.000 Unless Fauci's wrong again?
00:12:59.000 It developed naturally in the lab.
00:13:02.000 How does it develop naturally in a lab?
00:13:03.000 I don't know.
00:13:06.000 The logic follows that that could also be a possibility.
00:13:08.000 The moment they put the virus in the lab.
00:13:11.000 Let's say they found the virus in a bat.
00:13:13.000 And they put the bat in the lab.
00:13:14.000 And they put the bat in a box.
00:13:17.000 And then the virus mutates.
00:13:18.000 That's lab engineered.
00:13:20.000 They change the conditions of the bat.
00:13:21.000 That's the bare minimum for me, I suppose.
00:13:24.000 Look, this is a tremendous, horrible, horrible slander of the wet market community.
00:13:30.000 And I mean, imagine the guy who owns that wet market.
00:13:30.000 I mean, it is.
00:13:34.000 Is it one man is one guy?
00:13:36.000 I don't know.
00:13:36.000 Maybe he's the one guy who subleases to all the other wet marketeers.
00:13:40.000 Did you see that New York Times reporter who said that LabLeak was racist?
00:13:43.000 Sure.
00:13:45.000 Of course.
00:13:45.000 Well, no.
00:13:46.000 I mean, what's more racist, LabLeak or wet market?
00:13:50.000 Exactly.
00:13:51.000 So it's that's what's funny.
00:13:53.000 So the reporter for The New York Times was covering COVID tweeted that one day we'll we'll stop talking about LabLeak and discuss the racist origins or whatever.
00:14:01.000 And then people were like, The wet market is more racist.
00:14:06.000 You know, like the lab is plausible in that people, labs have accidents.
00:14:09.000 Could happen anywhere.
00:14:10.000 But then to accuse the Chinese people of having these filthy, disease-ridden markets is like... Well, it's because we eat bats.
00:14:15.000 I mean, yeah, that's not nice.
00:14:18.000 But did they really?
00:14:18.000 I thought that was like an urban legend or like a myth that they were eating bats.
00:14:22.000 Like people were saying bat soup and then I guess... What are you selling live bats for at a wet market if you're not going to eat it?
00:14:30.000 I don't know.
00:14:31.000 I mean, this is all this is all, you know, coming from media reports and, you know, all that all that nonsense that that came out initially.
00:14:40.000 You know, we heard about the wet market.
00:14:41.000 We heard about the bats and, you know, people joking about bat soup and all this stuff.
00:14:45.000 And of course, then the media backlash.
00:14:47.000 Oh, my God, all this is racist.
00:14:49.000 Yeah.
00:14:50.000 So don't talk about it.
00:14:51.000 It's all racist.
00:14:53.000 It's the weirdest thing.
00:14:55.000 And I guess it's because they hated Trump and Trump suggested it.
00:14:57.000 So then all of a sudden they had to.
00:14:59.000 I think it's a combination of that.
00:15:01.000 Trump says something they must say the opposite.
00:15:03.000 But I also I also think that politically they saw it as a way to go after Trump.
00:15:07.000 If this was a natural phenomenon, it's Trump's fault.
00:15:09.000 And then they can they can they can use that to get Trump out.
00:15:13.000 Think about this, though.
00:15:14.000 We we have an we have an idea that the media is getting less powerful as alternative media rises.
00:15:23.000 I thought that for a couple of years.
00:15:25.000 I thought that it was declining in power.
00:15:27.000 And what Covid showed me was that these guys are still insanely powerful.
00:15:33.000 I mean, think about this.
00:15:34.000 We have the biggest story in the world.
00:15:37.000 Everyone is hysterical, afraid of this virus.
00:15:41.000 And yet we're like a year on and we're only now starting to think, hey, How did this thing happen?
00:15:49.000 I mean, in what world is that?
00:15:51.000 9-11 happens immediately, as soon as the rubble is cleared.
00:15:57.000 No, not even.
00:15:58.000 I was in New York.
00:16:00.000 The sky is full of clouds.
00:16:02.000 It's like, all right, who did it?
00:16:04.000 Right.
00:16:05.000 How'd this happen?
00:16:05.000 Who did it?
00:16:06.000 And for this, we go a year.
00:16:08.000 And it's not just the media, though.
00:16:11.000 Clearly the media is a component of an establishment power.
00:16:14.000 That's, they either because they are pressured by each other, they're scared of being ostracized.
00:16:22.000 CNN says something, YouTube says that's the truth, we decided.
00:16:26.000 If CNN says it, it's true.
00:16:27.000 And so you go on YouTube and you make some claims about the election, they'll ban you.
00:16:31.000 You make some claims about COVID, they'll ban you.
00:16:33.000 But for four years, Sure.
00:16:35.000 The media could go on YouTube and make the most outrageous, nonsensical claims about
00:16:39.000 Donald Trump and it was totally acceptable.
00:16:42.000 So yeah, I'll tell you this, I've made the point that social media has empowered the
00:16:49.000 individual, but like I stated in the opening when I was doing the promo spot, CNN gets
00:16:54.000 hundreds of millions of views on YouTube.
00:16:56.000 Why?
00:16:56.000 Because YouTube guarantees that if you search for news, they will send you CNN.
00:17:02.000 It's not just that they've decided CNN is the truth.
00:17:04.000 They've decided it's the only thing you're allowed to watch.
00:17:08.000 So how do we combat that?
00:17:10.000 People just gotta keep talking.
00:17:11.000 Talk as much as you can, I guess.
00:17:13.000 And it's even worse than that because you've got an entire industry now that has developed the, you know, let's say the so-called disinformation industry, which is really just a mutation of the old countering violent extremism industry during the War on Terror.
00:17:28.000 It's basically the same people.
00:17:30.000 Oh, yeah.
00:17:30.000 They've retooled themselves and they've created metrics And all kinds of justifications for saying, no, CNN is authoritative, but Tim Pool isn't is, you know, it's not this information.
00:17:43.000 Well, so they actually Google told me I could become authoritative if I chose to do it.
00:17:46.000 If there's a process you go through, you have to, like, fill out forms and then submit something and then they put you on their authoritative list.
00:17:53.000 So it's possible.
00:17:55.000 The challenge is that it's it's an obvious institutional bias.
00:18:00.000 So I do believe YouTube likes me more than other channels.
00:18:04.000 Well, sure, because you get a lot of views.
00:18:06.000 Maybe.
00:18:08.000 But I certainly think that there are smaller channels that are still decently sized that have gotten strikes for saying similar things to me.
00:18:16.000 And, you know, we're running a risk here simply talking about the story because YouTube, they go nuts.
00:18:20.000 I mean, Crowder cited the CDC data and they nuked him.
00:18:23.000 Right.
00:18:24.000 Well, I mean, I also think that you've got such, you've created such a nice, serious infrastructure around the show with, you know, with the house and the equipment and the team and everything.
00:18:37.000 I mean, that I think that for YouTube and some of these, you know, let's just say for YouTube, they look at this and they say, this is, this is a story that we want told.
00:18:49.000 We want someone like Tim Pool to be able to make a living and to thrive on this platform.
00:18:55.000 Because if you get yanked and you get banned, that's a big story.
00:19:03.000 And it's bad for business.
00:19:05.000 YouTube is a very dangerous place to run a business.
00:19:07.000 Facebook is a very dangerous place to run a business.
00:19:11.000 Actually, YouTube did a survey.
00:19:13.000 Everybody got it, probably, if you're a YouTuber.
00:19:16.000 And it's like, fill out our survey.
00:19:17.000 And it asked me questions about what platforms I use.
00:19:20.000 And I'm like, I use Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, whatever.
00:19:24.000 And then it's like, how do you feel about them?
00:19:27.000 How confident are you?
00:19:28.000 And I'm just like, oh, not at all.
00:19:29.000 Like, Twitter, do you feel safe using them?
00:19:31.000 No way!
00:19:32.000 Do you think they have your best interest?
00:19:34.000 Absolutely not.
00:19:35.000 And then for YouTube, I'm like, YouTube is definitely not a safe place for a business.
00:19:39.000 It does provide an opportunity for reach and for revenue, but YouTube could ban you at any moment without notice, and they've done it before.
00:19:47.000 They did it to a guy named Mumkey Jones.
00:19:50.000 He had no strikes, he broke no rules, and they deleted all of his channels without warning because they found his content distasteful.
00:19:58.000 That was it.
00:19:59.000 He broke no rules.
00:20:00.000 He just made... It was black comedy.
00:20:03.000 And they didn't like it.
00:20:04.000 He did... I'll leave it there.
00:20:06.000 It's spicy comedy, but it wasn't racist.
00:20:10.000 It was just... It was like the edge of edgy.
00:20:13.000 And they deleted his channel outright.
00:20:14.000 So, this is the world we live in right now, where, of course, YouTube wants people to believe you can be a creator, so long as you follow these rigid guidelines we don't explain to you.
00:20:23.000 That will change at any moment.
00:20:25.000 Right.
00:20:25.000 We just learned this is really interesting from Project Veritas, too.
00:20:28.000 I don't know if you saw this where they had the whistleblower come out and they say that publicly
00:20:33.000 Facebook's guidelines are very vague. Internally they're extremely well-defined and they do that
00:20:39.000 so that way when they ban someone they can, oh well you know this rule is violated for this reason,
00:20:45.000 and they can just make it whatever they want. Right, so I mean Twitter is the same.
00:20:50.000 Twitter operates exactly the same way.
00:20:52.000 I was, a few years ago, I was in a back-and-forth at length with some Twitter folks, you know, folks who work at the company, whose job it was, they saw, hey, you know what, let's reach out to conservatives who are, you know, who have a platform online.
00:21:10.000 And I went at them and I said, look, you're you're shadow banning.
00:21:16.000 You're doing all of these things.
00:21:17.000 You're throttling the amount of views that people will get that that viewers will get.
00:21:22.000 And they denied all of this.
00:21:24.000 But they admitted to having, I think, some 300 different metrics or types of metrics that will decide who you are based on behaviors.
00:21:34.000 So that they can look you in the eye and they say, we do not ban conservatives.
00:21:34.000 Right.
00:21:40.000 It is the stupidest lie.
00:21:41.000 And the issue, I guess, is I don't know why any conservative would believe them.
00:21:49.000 And I don't know why any conservative would argue with them.
00:21:51.000 I've argued with them.
00:21:52.000 But we know they're lying.
00:21:54.000 They know we know they're lying.
00:21:56.000 And they know we know they know they're lying.
00:21:59.000 They know we know they know we know they're lying.
00:22:02.000 Yes.
00:22:03.000 I wrote a piece about it at the Federalist, I think in 2018, describing this whole back and forth.
00:22:12.000 And I told them, you know, my Twitter hasn't grown more than, I don't know, 200, 300 in the last nine months.
00:22:22.000 It's obvious that something is going on because of how exponential growth works.
00:22:28.000 And the guy looked at me and said, maybe your tweets just aren't so good.
00:22:32.000 We can offer you a class on how to tweet better.
00:22:36.000 I mean, the chutzpah!
00:22:40.000 You know, and this guy had like, you know, 400 followers or something.
00:22:43.000 And he's and he's and he's talking to me.
00:22:46.000 And it's like, I mean, it's so obvious that the finger is on the scale.
00:22:51.000 It's so obvious that that this is going on.
00:22:53.000 It's not even debatable.
00:22:54.000 But of course, you've got you know, we went through four years of Donald Trump where I knew this was a problem in January of 2017.
00:23:03.000 You know, I mean, I'm not special.
00:23:07.000 A lot of people saw that this was an issue.
00:23:09.000 And nothing was done.
00:23:11.000 The Republicans didn't do anything about it when they had the power to do it.
00:23:13.000 Nothing.
00:23:14.000 And they're not gonna now.
00:23:15.000 We get hearing after hearing after hearing, they don't do anything.
00:23:17.000 Oh, at the federal level?
00:23:19.000 Absolutely not.
00:23:20.000 At the federal level, all these guys.
00:23:21.000 DeSantis.
00:23:22.000 So I was there at the bill signing.
00:23:22.000 So DeSantis.
00:23:24.000 You were there?
00:23:25.000 I was there at the bill signing.
00:23:27.000 And it was great.
00:23:28.000 The room was electric because everybody knows what is up here.
00:23:34.000 Everybody knows.
00:23:35.000 It used to be that it's like, okay, you know, Milo, Alex Jones, these people who, you know, you'd never meet in a million years, but, you know, they got banned.
00:23:46.000 But now it's grandma getting banned.
00:23:48.000 Yeah, it's people who are just saying, you know, learn to code, making jokes.
00:23:51.000 Right.
00:23:52.000 Now here's where it gets crazy.
00:23:52.000 You ready for this one?
00:23:54.000 Tech groups sue DeSantis over social media bill.
00:23:58.000 I knew it.
00:24:00.000 I thought someone in Florida was going to file a lawsuit against the big tech companies immediately.
00:24:04.000 Instead, it's the other way around.
00:24:06.000 You get a few minutes, a few days, and whoever strikes first, it's basically when two countries are going to go to war.
00:24:12.000 One of them gets to declare the war and invade.
00:24:14.000 And if you wait, the other one's going to invade you.
00:24:15.000 So you invade first.
00:24:17.000 Let's see what we got here.
00:24:18.000 They say two technology groups on Thursday filed a lawsuit in Tallahassee federal court challenging a controversial bill that Governor DeSantis said is aimed at cracking down on social media censorship.
00:24:27.000 But opponents argue it's an unconstitutional infringement of free speech.
00:24:31.000 That's factually not true.
00:24:32.000 It's not.
00:24:33.000 Well, it's the free speech of the corporation.
00:24:35.000 Right.
00:24:36.000 But the issue is... So we've had an interesting conversation about this.
00:24:41.000 The New York Times, for instance, If they take an article from you and publish it, it's their speech.
00:24:47.000 What happens if you write the article, submit it through a submissions portal, and then they publish it?
00:24:53.000 That's actually your speech, even though they chose to publish through a submission portal.
00:24:56.000 Does that make sense?
00:24:58.000 No.
00:24:59.000 And that's the way it works right now.
00:25:00.000 So, no, this does not actually stop the corporation's free speech.
00:25:04.000 No, of course.
00:25:05.000 I mean, I agree with you, but that's the argument that they're making.
00:25:08.000 It's a fake argument.
00:25:09.000 It's a fake argument, but all of this is good.
00:25:12.000 You know, it's got to go through the courts.
00:25:14.000 It's got to be fought.
00:25:15.000 You know, frankly, the thing that needs to happen right now is, you know, you've got to get some conservative donors putting some money into into fighting this in a in a public In a public way.
00:25:28.000 Let's get some C4s.
00:25:30.000 Let's get people out there pushing this.
00:25:32.000 Everybody knows that this is a huge issue.
00:25:34.000 I think a C3 could do this.
00:25:35.000 A 501c3 could handle this.
00:25:36.000 It's not political.
00:25:37.000 Sure.
00:25:38.000 Just going after censorship in general is a tax deductible cause.
00:25:42.000 Yeah.
00:25:42.000 And supporting some of and supporting some of this pushback.
00:25:45.000 You know, even if DeSantis will, because it's, you know, as you know, it's not just one thing on one issue.
00:25:51.000 You know, he's doing the, you know, the riot stuff.
00:25:54.000 He's doing other stuff.
00:25:55.000 You know, they're going to take him to court for over everything.
00:25:59.000 Yep.
00:26:00.000 And it seems, I mean, sadly, look, I loved Ron DeSantis.
00:26:03.000 I think Florida is the best state in the union right now.
00:26:05.000 But unfortunately, we're alone.
00:26:09.000 And this has got to change.
00:26:11.000 Here, let me read this quote.
00:26:11.000 I love it.
00:26:12.000 Let me just explain something.
00:26:13.000 The bill targets, I think they have to have like a hundred million users?
00:26:16.000 amendment rights of private online businesses, says Carl Zabo, vice president and general
00:26:21.000 counsel of NetChoice.
00:26:22.000 By weakening the first amendment rights of some, Florida weakens the first amendment
00:26:25.000 rights of all.
00:26:26.000 Let me just explain something.
00:26:28.000 The bill targets, I think they have to have like 100 million users?
00:26:32.000 Oh, since when has the left been like, but what about the ultra wealthy and the massive
00:26:39.000 multinational corporations?
00:26:40.000 Who's going to protect them?
00:26:42.000 That's where they're at right now.
00:26:43.000 This is the funniest thing.
00:26:44.000 I saw somebody, they were commenting about Ted Cruz.
00:26:49.000 He made a comment about your medical choices should be your choice and no government should intervene.
00:26:54.000 And then all these leftists are like high-fiving, like, oh yeah, now do abortion!
00:26:58.000 And I'm like, that's really funny, because you can make fun of Ted Cruz, but what about the disaffected liberals who have always been in favor of regulating massive corporations, or who have been pro-choice the whole time, and are telling you you're insane?
00:27:09.000 See, they ignore people like me, because it's inconvenient.
00:27:11.000 It's convenient for me to a certain degree, because then I don't get the smear pieces coming out all the time.
00:27:15.000 But yeah, when I say, ten years ago, we gotta regulate these massive corporations that are stealing the commons, and polluting our waters, and colluding with foreign interests, And then they say the same thing.
00:27:26.000 Now I'm still saying the same thing.
00:27:27.000 Oh, but it benefits conservatives.
00:27:29.000 So now they're not gonna say anything.
00:27:31.000 And then what they'll do is when a conservative comes out, they say, you just hate free speech!
00:27:36.000 You're gonna regulate these companies, take away their free speech rights!
00:27:38.000 Because corporations are people, my friend.
00:27:40.000 The chutzpah of these people is so far beyond.
00:27:43.000 It's so far beyond anything.
00:27:45.000 Because, I mean, in my mind, it's very simple.
00:27:50.000 Is there such a thing as a public square?
00:27:53.000 Is it possible for a public square to be owned in 2021 by a private entity?
00:28:00.000 Yes, of course.
00:28:02.000 Yes, of course, this is obvious.
00:28:03.000 You know, this is what a lot of the libertarian types and the people, you know, frankly, who are taking a ton of money from, you know, from big tech are saying is that they're denying that this is a thing.
00:28:14.000 And the other thing is, if you, you know, you are allowing these corporations to have more power than governments.
00:28:23.000 India, Hungary, Poland, the US, all these other places have gotten into conflicts with these big tech companies.
00:28:23.000 Yeah.
00:28:32.000 The big tech companies usually end up winning.
00:28:35.000 And this is and it's and it's and it's it's crazy because they are unaccountable to anybody.
00:28:40.000 I mean, is this a and it really speaks to what this government is.
00:28:45.000 My favorite group of people in all of this are the libertarians who should be on the side of the free speech of the individual, but instead are on the side of free speech for the massive multinational corporations and the oligarchs behind them.
00:28:58.000 The reason I love it is because they hate them.
00:29:02.000 Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook, they hate libertarians.
00:29:05.000 They despise them.
00:29:06.000 They ban them and shut them down.
00:29:09.000 And so you have, like, there's three groups right now.
00:29:12.000 You've got the Democrat large left umbrella, which includes some leftists who, as Glenn Greenwald, I think it was Glenn Greenwald who said this, they're the one group of people with the least ability to learn because they advocate for censorship and then they keep getting censored.
00:29:26.000 You have conservatives who are like, Well, we normally don't, we aren't for regulation, but in this instance, we recognize the importance of it and we must have our rights protected.
00:29:35.000 And I'm like, makes sense to me.
00:29:36.000 And then you have libertarians who are like, we are being banned and smeared and insulted.
00:29:42.000 I hope Facebook has the right to remove us because in 20 years, our ideology won't exist anymore.
00:29:47.000 It's the most amazing thing to libertarians.
00:29:50.000 I had a long argument a couple years ago with this libertarian guy.
00:29:53.000 And he's like, we shouldn't be telling what these private businesses can or can't do.
00:29:55.000 And I was like, bro, fine.
00:29:56.000 I don't care.
00:29:57.000 I was like, I'm not lib right.
00:29:59.000 I'm not in your bubble.
00:30:01.000 So when Facebook decides to delete every single libertarian candidate and every single libertarian personality, which they're going to do, and they do, antiwar.com, we had Scott Horton in here, antiwar.com got censored.
00:30:14.000 Why?
00:30:14.000 It's anti-establishment.
00:30:16.000 They want war.
00:30:17.000 They want bombs.
00:30:17.000 So they get banned too, and then they advocate for their own banning.
00:30:22.000 Like, well, they shouldn't ban us, I guess, but it is a private company.
00:30:22.000 It's remarkable.
00:30:25.000 All right, well, in five years, you won't be a part of the conversation, and I won't have to argue with you anymore, so whatever.
00:30:32.000 There should also be a distinction.
00:30:34.000 I mean, I'm not actually for making this distinction because I think that both of these things, both, you know, the social media companies and Google, you know, and other search engine companies.
00:30:45.000 I mean, we have the same problem with both of them.
00:30:47.000 But the libertarians and the phony conservatives will, you know, I mean, they will They will say that Facebook and these social media companies, that you have alternatives.
00:30:47.000 Right.
00:31:04.000 You don't have to exist on them.
00:31:06.000 But as far as the search engine goes, Google is really the institutional memory of Western civilization at this point.
00:31:15.000 And you take something out of the search engine.
00:31:19.000 And it's gone.
00:31:20.000 I often see stories pop up from the Gateway Pundit.
00:31:22.000 Yeah.
00:31:23.000 And I'm not a big fan of using them for the most part.
00:31:26.000 They have some credibility for some writers.
00:31:28.000 But I'll see a story and I'll be like, OK, I want to fact check this.
00:31:31.000 And I'll go on Google and I'll type it in.
00:31:32.000 It's like, doesn't exist.
00:31:34.000 There's a bunch of sites that are just non-existent on Google.
00:31:37.000 Andrew Yang put it really well when he was talking about antitrust not being the right answer.
00:31:41.000 There needs to be something else.
00:31:42.000 when he said, how many of you want to use Bing?
00:31:45.000 And everyone's like, laughs.
00:31:46.000 He's like, exactly, nobody's going to use Bing.
00:31:48.000 It's like, Google is the service.
00:31:50.000 Google is what people use.
00:31:51.000 But DuckDuckGo is moving in and it's an opportunity to use something.
00:31:56.000 The problem is we're trying to market, right?
00:32:00.000 That's the thing.
00:32:01.000 I invent... Look at this.
00:32:02.000 I got a bottle of water.
00:32:04.000 And I want to get this bottle of water to as many people as possible.
00:32:06.000 So, you go where the people are.
00:32:09.000 Facebook and Google have bought up the largest spaces.
00:32:14.000 And they're now privately owned public spaces.
00:32:17.000 Do you know what a Pops is in New York?
00:32:18.000 A privately owned public space?
00:32:20.000 No.
00:32:21.000 So this is what happened with Occupy Wall Street, Zuccotti.
00:32:24.000 Where they had the protest was privately owned, but because it was open to the public, they couldn't evict the protesters.
00:32:29.000 They were allowed to protest there.
00:32:31.000 So I try explaining this to people, I'm like, okay, check it out.
00:32:33.000 So the ultra-rich people, like Deutsche Bank or whatever, they have these privately owned public spaces.
00:32:38.000 And the courts ruled that you can privately own them, but as long as you welcome the public in, you can't shut down First Amendment activity.
00:32:47.000 So Occupy Wall Street was allowed to stay so long as they liked it.
00:32:49.000 What's the benefit of owning them then?
00:32:52.000 So they buy property for the property value, but then what do you do with it?
00:32:56.000 They turn it into a public space and just let it be a park or something.
00:33:00.000 There's probably some write-off there somewhere, some city benefit.
00:33:02.000 I'm sure there's some write-off there.
00:33:04.000 Regardless, I don't know exactly, other than if you're open to the public, then First Amendment rights apply to you, not to them.
00:33:11.000 And so now you have Twitter.
00:33:12.000 It is a public space, a public forum.
00:33:14.000 It's already been ruled a public forum in the past, although that did get overturned by the Supreme Court.
00:33:18.000 People go there to speak.
00:33:20.000 A private corporation owns it.
00:33:21.000 They should not have the right to shut down the speech of an individual.
00:33:25.000 If we're to operate under the assumption that this is a violation of Twitter's free speech rights, then you're suggesting that Twitter is speaking for us?
00:33:36.000 Like when I tweet with my face next to my words, you're saying Twitter is being compelled to speak?
00:33:41.000 No it isn't.
00:33:42.000 It's a utility.
00:33:43.000 It's a platform.
00:33:44.000 Everyone knows Twitter didn't say that.
00:33:46.000 So what's the excuse?
00:33:48.000 That's it.
00:33:49.000 It's just a lie.
00:33:50.000 Because they know.
00:33:51.000 Right now the Democrats are like, look, these people who run these companies are on our side.
00:33:56.000 So we'll just agree with them.
00:33:57.000 Conservatives, they're getting wiped out.
00:33:59.000 And I think that was a huge contributing factor to Trump losing in 2020.
00:34:04.000 I'm finding it's a very different situation to walk into Twitter's one of their buildings and start saying what you think and then getting arrested or taken out by their public private security.
00:34:14.000 It's a private building.
00:34:14.000 That's fine.
00:34:15.000 Yeah, it's a private building.
00:34:16.000 But when you use a service online, it's not a private building anymore.
00:34:20.000 So their right to censor you and stop you seems to end at the door of their headquarters or of their owned property.
00:34:27.000 So that's kind of the way I'm looking at it.
00:34:30.000 You know, if you set up your business in Walmart, Walmart can shut you down at will.
00:34:35.000 But if you have a business on YouTube, you're not in YouTube's building anymore.
00:34:39.000 You're not on their property.
00:34:41.000 The big problem, I think, is For one, people need to sue more.
00:34:46.000 Conservatives should have been suing.
00:34:48.000 And you know what really annoys me is I hear from all these conservative lawyers, you can't because you're going to lose because of this precedent.
00:34:53.000 I don't care, just sue, just sue, just sue.
00:34:55.000 James O'Keefe, look at that guy.
00:34:57.000 He's like, fires the missiles, you know, and he just goes for it.
00:35:01.000 And then he actually ends up winning, defeating a motion to dismiss in the New York Times case.
00:35:05.000 Everyone said it can't be done until he did it.
00:35:09.000 Too many people aren't pushing back.
00:35:12.000 They're getting censored.
00:35:13.000 A lot of people sue and they lose, but good for them for at least trying.
00:35:13.000 They don't sue.
00:35:16.000 Set precedent.
00:35:17.000 Get better arguments.
00:35:19.000 I mean, all of this, too, is like, you know, they're they're trying to they're trying to whatever arguments that they can come up with, because what they really want to do is they really want to control the flow of information.
00:35:34.000 And they are on their worldview has been rocked to its core by Trump's victory.
00:35:40.000 Yeah.
00:35:40.000 And by the fact that there is stuff out there online that they don't like.
00:35:46.000 They thought they would be ushering in a new era of online, you know, woke, you know, new consciousness where everything, they didn't see that, that, you know, there would be an underbelly.
00:35:56.000 I mean, the underbelly is us.
00:35:58.000 You know what I think?
00:35:59.000 But they didn't see it.
00:36:00.000 I grew up online.
00:36:01.000 I've had the Internet as long as I can remember.
00:36:03.000 My family had CompuServe on DOS or whatever.
00:36:05.000 Nice.
00:36:05.000 Then we had CompuServe on Windows and then we had AOL.
00:36:08.000 So I've been in the chat rooms, and I have been exposed to the nastiness that is the Internet my whole life.
00:36:14.000 And I knew the trolls and the hackers and the memes.
00:36:16.000 So growing up, I'm like, welcome to the Internet.
00:36:19.000 But a lot of these people, they probably did not have the Internet at a young age.
00:36:23.000 A lot of people I went to school with didn't have computers.
00:36:26.000 So, it was a time when, I'm a little kid, I have a Windows 3.1 machine.
00:36:30.000 Not everybody had a computer in their house.
00:36:32.000 They weren't using AOL.
00:36:34.000 Not only that, if the parents were, they're not letting their kids go in a chat room, and hear the, see nasty adult stuff.
00:36:40.000 So what happens is, these millennials, they grow up, and it's not until they're teens, they actually get on the internet.
00:36:45.000 And they're in more safe environments with more restrictions.
00:36:48.000 Now they're adults, and they're, oh no!
00:36:50.000 People are saying mean things online!
00:36:52.000 How can this be?
00:36:53.000 And interestingly, you know, Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey have decided to side with that
00:36:59.000 faction. Why? It's really simple. Take a conservative, take a liberal, put them in a
00:37:04.000 room and then yell a curse word. Guess who's going to care?
00:37:08.000 Guess who's going to scream?
00:37:09.000 Yeah. And so if you're running a business and you're selling donuts and then you have a
00:37:14.000 conservative and a liberal there and one of your employees stubs his toe and screams, ah, F, guess
00:37:19.000 I think what you're describing is kind of 1.0.
00:37:22.000 do in any way, any way pander to the ideology of the conservative
00:37:25.000 who didn't care someone blurted out a cuss word or they can just
00:37:28.000 go to the Karen and be like, but that's one point.
00:37:31.000 Oh, I think what you're describing is kind of one point.
00:37:33.000 Oh, at two point where we're at or whatever, whatever number we're
00:37:37.000 at.
00:37:38.000 You've got 80 percent of the company, let's
00:37:42.000 say, from middle management on down that is totally woke that
00:37:47.000 is going to revolt if you don't do Exactly.
00:37:50.000 So, you know, so if you're running the company, I mean, I know people who or heard of people who, you know, feel like they're not in control of their own company.
00:38:01.000 That's kind of sad.
00:38:02.000 It is kind of sad.
00:38:03.000 It's, you know, once you let it grow to be too big.
00:38:05.000 And you know what?
00:38:07.000 Don't hire Woke.
00:38:10.000 If you're hiring Woke, then you don't know the game.
00:38:13.000 Never get investors.
00:38:14.000 Don't take investments if you don't need them.
00:38:16.000 Don't take investments, man.
00:38:16.000 Right.
00:38:18.000 So you look at, like, The Intercept with Glenn Greenwald.
00:38:21.000 Glenn Greenwald had to resign from his own company.
00:38:21.000 Go, bro!
00:38:24.000 He had no control over it.
00:38:26.000 He created a monster.
00:38:27.000 And now it's just rampaging around.
00:38:29.000 It's a bummer.
00:38:30.000 I mean, good for him for speaking out against it, but he made this machine.
00:38:35.000 Of course.
00:38:36.000 He has no control over it.
00:38:37.000 And they won.
00:38:38.000 I mean, he's doing great work outside of that organization.
00:38:43.000 And they've got his funding.
00:38:45.000 But yeah, right.
00:38:46.000 I mean, how many years did he spend putting his credibility on the line, asking for the money?
00:38:53.000 The Intercept right now is a skin suit with some kind of skin walker inside of it.
00:38:57.000 And it's like, you know, it's like Edgar from Men in Black.
00:39:00.000 You know, when the bug alien is in the Edgar suit?
00:39:04.000 Social justice!
00:39:08.000 That's what it is.
00:39:09.000 The New York Times is the same way.
00:39:10.000 It just keeps happening.
00:39:11.000 And yeah.
00:39:12.000 And look, I mean, they're like, you know, digital Hessians for Antifa, too, because they will go and they'll, you know, they'll serve the purpose of marking the target.
00:39:21.000 Well, what a pessimistic Friday night.
00:39:25.000 We can keep going.
00:39:25.000 We mentioned earlier that we're talking about that gain of function.
00:39:31.000 This is a little going back to what we're talking about earlier, that you'd said in that story that the U.S.
00:39:36.000 made it illegal to do gain of function research.
00:39:39.000 It was temporarily outlawed.
00:39:40.000 Oh, so it's legal again.
00:39:41.000 No, I think they shut it down recently.
00:39:44.000 So then they were paying a company to fund it in China instead?
00:39:47.000 No, a grant was given to EcoHealth, and then EcoHealth gave the money to Wuhan.
00:39:51.000 So it's like, not our business.
00:39:53.000 Where else are they doing gain-of-function research that we're paying for?
00:39:58.000 But we're not paying for it.
00:39:59.000 We're paying someone else to pay for it for us with our money.
00:40:02.000 Right.
00:40:03.000 As if, you know, as if, you know, the other countries in the world can't also pay for this.
00:40:09.000 Yeah.
00:40:09.000 I mean, imagine how much of this stuff is going on at all times right now in any number of labs around the world.
00:40:16.000 Probably a lot.
00:40:17.000 It's probably creepy.
00:40:19.000 I'm sure it's a lot worse than we realize, though.
00:40:22.000 You know, you have this one lab in Wuhan where they're doing this research.
00:40:26.000 Imagine what the U.S.
00:40:27.000 government has under lock.
00:40:28.000 Area 51?
00:40:29.000 Yeah, if they're going to be providing funding to different labs in other countries, imagine what they do when they actually have their hands on the project, you know what I mean?
00:40:38.000 And when I heard about the story immediately, I thought maybe this is like a CIA black site type of thing.
00:40:44.000 Yeah.
00:40:44.000 Where they say, you know what?
00:40:45.000 The really sketchy stuff, we're going to put it abroad.
00:40:48.000 Yeah.
00:40:49.000 We'll pay.
00:40:49.000 We'll underwrite it.
00:40:50.000 That makes sense.
00:40:51.000 We'll put it abroad.
00:40:51.000 The really sketchy stuff.
00:40:53.000 But it's exactly the opposite.
00:40:54.000 You know, when you're dealing with sensitive things like this, it's not like, you know, it's not like a CIA black site in Egypt where, you know, a jihadi guy is getting his, you know, his mouth chopped off.
00:41:08.000 Something's happening.
00:41:09.000 Something's happening.
00:41:09.000 Sure, yeah.
00:41:10.000 But like, there's limited fallout from that compared to a Wuhan virus.
00:41:16.000 Play, uh, play dangerous games, man.
00:41:19.000 Win dangerous prizes.
00:41:20.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:41:20.000 Yep.
00:41:21.000 Hey, David, can we talk about your book for a minute?
00:41:23.000 Sure.
00:41:24.000 I'll hold it up.
00:41:25.000 Yeah, this is, so this is about Qatar.
00:41:27.000 You said that there is a shadow, what's it called exactly?
00:41:29.000 It's Qatar's shadow war, the Islamist emirate and its information operations in the United States.
00:41:36.000 So the first thing I thought was, this is an American shadow war in Qatar, but you were saying there's actually, how do you say it, a Qatari's, what's the what's the word?
00:41:43.000 Qatari.
00:41:44.000 Qatari.
00:41:45.000 This is a Qatari shadow war basically being waged upon the United States.
00:41:50.000 Well, in the in the United States for their, let's say, in the media and government of the United States for, you know, for Qatar's advantage and for the advantage of Islamism.
00:42:05.000 It's, I mean, really, you know, kind of really short story is Qatar is the state sponsor of the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:42:12.000 Oh, wow.
00:42:13.000 And they run Al Jazeera Plus.
00:42:14.000 They run Al Jazeera Plus.
00:42:15.000 That ultra-woke network with billions of views on Facebook.
00:42:19.000 And they run a lot of other stuff, too.
00:42:21.000 I mean, they run, you know, Brookings.
00:42:24.000 The oldest and biggest think tank in the world.
00:42:27.000 They run Brookings.
00:42:29.000 I mean, to the extent that run, it's very creatively, you know, described.
00:42:33.000 So they will go, they will be big donors into Brookings, the U.S., but then they have a franchise.
00:42:38.000 So they have they have Brookings Doha, which is, you know, owned by the royal family of Qatar that's in Qatar.
00:42:47.000 And, you know, that's a black box of funding.
00:42:49.000 I mean, they don't have to tell us what you know, how much money comes in there.
00:42:52.000 So they use that that brand as as legitimacy.
00:42:57.000 So what are they what are they doing?
00:42:58.000 What are they doing to us?
00:43:00.000 So, I mean, basically, they're they're doing a couple of things.
00:43:04.000 I argue that the Arab Spring that happened in, let's say, late 2010 up until 2011 was a project of the Qataris through al-Jazeera and the Brotherhood to destabilize the Middle East.
00:43:18.000 Really?
00:43:21.000 Al Jazeera was, let's say, the primary mover of a lot of those protests.
00:43:28.000 And not only that, it was, you know, between Al Jazeera and Brookings and all the other
00:43:32.000 assets that Qatar had in the United States, it was able to convince journalists and politicians
00:43:40.000 and influencers of other types that, you know, these governments in the Middle East that,
00:43:47.000 you know, have supported us and we've supported for all these years.
00:43:50.000 We should not support Mubarak.
00:43:52.000 We should support, you know, the revolution against him, let's say, in Egypt.
00:43:57.000 And the same thing in Libya.
00:43:58.000 The Libya war was a total Al Jazeera-Qatari production.
00:44:02.000 I mean, Hillary Clinton really wanted that.
00:44:04.000 Yes, what did she say though?
00:44:06.000 We came, we saw, he died?
00:44:07.000 No, she said, look at this, she was in the front of the Senate and she went on and on about how wonderful Al Jazeera coverage is.
00:44:13.000 She said, her quote was, that is real news.
00:44:17.000 But was it because they were supporting what she wanted?
00:44:21.000 Yes, so there was an alignment there.
00:44:25.000 What I believe she wanted there was, and what the whole Obama crowd wanted with Libya was, They wanted an opportunity.
00:44:35.000 They saw what was on Al Jazeera.
00:44:37.000 They saw the whole Arab world lining up against Gaddafi.
00:44:41.000 And they thought, OK, Bush is gone.
00:44:44.000 We want to start a new leaf.
00:44:46.000 We've made the Cairo speech.
00:44:47.000 We want to be good to Muslims.
00:44:49.000 We want to do something to make the Muslim world like us.
00:44:53.000 All they care about is getting rid of Gaddafi.
00:44:55.000 We're going to get rid of Gaddafi.
00:44:58.000 And, you know, and we're going to show them that we're good.
00:45:02.000 Destabilize the entire northern African region?
00:45:03.000 Destabilize everything, right?
00:45:06.000 Yeah.
00:45:08.000 So all of the information for this came from Al Jazeera.
00:45:12.000 It came from sort of, you know, Qatari influence operators.
00:45:16.000 But I wonder if they were just doing what we want.
00:45:19.000 They're just doing what Hillary Clinton and Obama, what they wanted in North Africa.
00:45:24.000 I mean, especially when you look at Syria with the Qatar-Turkey pipeline.
00:45:28.000 Sure, it would have been very beneficial to Qatar, but the U.S.
00:45:32.000 wanted to run a pipeline up through Syria and Turkey into Europe to offset the monopoly coming from Gazprom through Ukraine.
00:45:39.000 And Carter was like, we'll make money doing it, I guess.
00:45:42.000 So let's just say what they want.
00:45:44.000 Say what America wants.
00:45:45.000 America gives us stuff.
00:45:46.000 We're going to make money in the deal.
00:45:48.000 So report what's good for them.
00:45:49.000 Yeah, I think it's, I think they're dumber than that.
00:45:55.000 I honestly, I legit think that they're more ideological than that.
00:46:03.000 I mean, it's a mix, right?
00:46:04.000 It's a mix.
00:46:05.000 I mean, the Libya thing is a great example because you've got Sidney Blumenthal.
00:46:11.000 You know, ready to make millions in there.
00:46:15.000 There are a lot of shady, shady stuff as far as, you know, politicians or people connected to politicians involved in that who are standing to make money off, let's say, post-war Libya.
00:46:27.000 But still, regardless, there's a story that needs to be told in public.
00:46:33.000 For anything to happen.
00:46:34.000 You know, you're talking about the Syria thing.
00:46:36.000 Right.
00:46:37.000 People need a public narrative.
00:46:38.000 People need a public narrative for Libya, too.
00:46:41.000 Regular Americans, man, it's just, it's, it's, it's maddening.
00:46:46.000 When I try to have sit down conversations and they just don't know, don't care.
00:46:51.000 And I'm like, you're giving your money and your vote to people who hate you and are destroying the planet.
00:46:57.000 And they're like, oh.
00:47:00.000 Now, do you think they always didn't care?
00:47:02.000 Yes.
00:47:04.000 That's effective propagandizing, you know?
00:47:06.000 And when you look at these schools, how they're doing critical race theory, which is making a lot of these kids just... I mean, what was that report that came out?
00:47:13.000 Like the U.S.
00:47:13.000 is failing?
00:47:14.000 Fourth graders, are proficiency in science like 20% or some ridiculously low number?
00:47:19.000 Because they don't know anything!
00:47:20.000 Critical race theory, deconstructivism, whatever you want to call it, what they're doing, deconstruction.
00:47:27.000 These kids are going to be dumb as a box of rocks when they're older.
00:47:29.000 Sure.
00:47:30.000 And you're going to have a very, very loyal base of dumb people voting for whatever you tell them to vote for.
00:47:36.000 What's the point of running a country?
00:47:38.000 What's the point of anything they're doing?
00:47:41.000 That's why I say they're extracting value from the system and watching it burn to the ground.
00:47:45.000 Because if your kids are going to be dumb, when you die, you'll have dumb people running the country worse than the dumb people running it now.
00:47:53.000 So I think we're screwed with that.
00:47:54.000 They go for the kids.
00:47:56.000 They teach them things like 2 plus 2 equals 5.
00:47:58.000 You saw this stuff on Twitter.
00:48:00.000 Why would you teach a kid 2 plus 2 equals 5?
00:48:02.000 So they're too stupid to construct like a doorknob.
00:48:07.000 Oh, I got two pieces.
00:48:09.000 But how do I have four doorknobs?
00:48:11.000 It's like you've got one doorknob.
00:48:13.000 On the same token, you've got the coddling of the American mind.
00:48:17.000 What is it?
00:48:17.000 Jonathan Haidt?
00:48:18.000 Yeah.
00:48:18.000 Who wrote that this whole thing, you know, all of wokeness could be understood to be a, you know, like, how do you make someone crazy?
00:48:28.000 How do you make someone crazy?
00:48:29.000 How do you make someone antisocial?
00:48:31.000 How do you make someone unable to relate to, you know, to others?
00:48:36.000 Yeah.
00:48:36.000 And that's what they're doing.
00:48:37.000 And then they're creating a pitchfork mob.
00:48:40.000 That's what it is on Twitter.
00:48:42.000 They're just people marching around torches and pitchforks, looking for something because they're angry.
00:48:46.000 And no rhyme or reason.
00:48:47.000 Talk about wearing masks and being afraid that someone else is infected with a virus, making people antisocial, especially like young kids that can't see faces.
00:48:55.000 You can't, you're forced to cover yourself.
00:48:57.000 I mean, but specifically in reference to educating kids and educating them in ways that make no sense.
00:49:02.000 It's a wonderful coincidence.
00:49:04.000 Two plus two equals five.
00:49:05.000 is the big one.
00:49:06.000 Telling people, altering the history of the United States.
00:49:09.000 Now what you're going to have is you're going to have some kids growing up
00:49:12.000 learning about ridiculous fake history, and other kids learning different history,
00:49:16.000 and what's the result?
00:49:17.000 Civil War.
00:49:18.000 Yeah.
00:49:19.000 No, we have other options.
00:49:24.000 I mean, civil war is I mean, we even have things that we need to do before a peaceful divorce, which is which is a piece that I wrote that I'm still preparing.
00:49:33.000 It's a longer thing called autonomy, which talks about the need for, let's say, red America to create the things that, frankly, we don't have.
00:49:45.000 Like financial institutions, like social media networks.
00:49:54.000 The problem is that the cult infiltrated and took them over.
00:49:58.000 And then conservatives are like, well, I'll go make my own.
00:50:01.000 It's like, well, you had one.
00:50:02.000 They took it from you.
00:50:05.000 Well, they may have taken some businesses, but like they didn't when people say, let's take back the culture.
00:50:09.000 We never had the culture.
00:50:11.000 The culture was always in the hands of the Federal Reserve, you know, organizations in the hands of the left, not the right.
00:50:17.000 That's the left.
00:50:19.000 But but no, I mean, I think we need autonomy.
00:50:21.000 We need to be making our own things.
00:50:23.000 And I mean, doing what you're doing.
00:50:25.000 It's true, and here's what I think is going to happen.
00:50:29.000 In 20 years, you're going to have a large amount, half the population, are going to believe the United States was founded in 1619 as a slavocracy.
00:50:38.000 True.
00:50:38.000 And then you're going to have another half that thinks the country was founded in 1776 as a classical liberal revolution of the mind, you know, from the colonists.
00:50:47.000 If you can't agree on what your country is, then you can't function.
00:50:52.000 And we're already at the point where, you know, I look at Chuck Schumer and the January 6th Commission.
00:50:58.000 These people are evil, evil people.
00:51:02.000 It's funny because you can look at objective reality.
00:51:05.000 Look at all of the videos.
00:51:06.000 I watched as many videos from January 6th as much as I could.
00:51:11.000 And I can tell you that there were some people who were very violent.
00:51:13.000 It was a riot.
00:51:14.000 There were some people that were let in by the police, and the police agreed to work with them.
00:51:18.000 The police opened the door for many of these people.
00:51:21.000 So how do I know it's more likely to be true that's the case?
00:51:24.000 I watched all of the videos, and I've had the reporters who were there on the ground interviewed on this show.
00:51:30.000 And what the Democrats are saying is psychotic, It is deception.
00:51:36.000 It is lies.
00:51:37.000 And the Democratic voters buy it all up without ever having looked at any of the evidence, without ever having watched anything.
00:51:43.000 They are mindless drones, and they're advocating for fascism.
00:51:47.000 And I mean it.
00:51:48.000 They've already put these things in place.
00:51:50.000 I mean, they've already retooled.
00:51:53.000 There's a great thread that I'll find.
00:51:56.000 I'll sort of retweet it.
00:51:58.000 About all the things that the, let's say, the national security state, homeland security state, has done to address the January 6th issue.
00:52:09.000 And it's a revolution.
00:52:10.000 I mean, they're retooling everything from... They're flying Black Lives Matter flags at our embassies.
00:52:16.000 That's it.
00:52:16.000 Yeah.
00:52:17.000 There is a cold civil war.
00:52:19.000 It's been going on for years.
00:52:21.000 I did not coin the phrase.
00:52:22.000 It was a Princeton professor who did.
00:52:23.000 He's a Democrat.
00:52:24.000 And they won.
00:52:27.000 Now it's the resistance.
00:52:28.000 Most of the prominent, we'll call them belligerents in the traditional war sense, have been purged from the culture war.
00:52:35.000 Sure.
00:52:36.000 Alex Jones, Milo, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King.
00:52:39.000 I mean, this has been going on for a long time, dude.
00:52:42.000 This country was co-opted in 1946, basically.
00:52:42.000 This Cold Civil War.
00:52:45.000 Talking specifically about what's going on right now.
00:52:46.000 You're talking about modern day, I get it.
00:52:47.000 A bunch of people have been banned and removed from the fight outright.
00:52:51.000 What's left are moderate types that are like, I reject.
00:52:55.000 And that's it.
00:52:56.000 And we watch as the embassies fly the flag of a cult ideology.
00:53:01.000 Alright, so you see it, I see it.
00:53:07.000 What fascinates me now are the people who refuse to see it.
00:53:13.000 And I just wrote a piece at the American Mind, which is a fantastic website, about sort of disengaging with these people on politics.
00:53:23.000 It's like if you have a fundamental disagreement about where you see these things going, Like, if you think that, oh, you know, we'll be able to snap back into 1980 or, you know, 2004, then you know what?
00:53:38.000 Maybe we don't talk about politics.
00:53:39.000 We'll talk about music.
00:53:40.000 We're just not going to go there.
00:53:41.000 Because this, to me, seems like such a no-brainer.
00:53:44.000 I mean, you had today, I saw a guy who was a kind of more nice guy, but a kind of more establishment conservative writer.
00:53:54.000 He says, you know what, we can't between CRT on one hand and let's say the conservative vision of education of the founding on the other.
00:54:04.000 We have no disagreement.
00:54:05.000 We have no agreement.
00:54:07.000 So we can't really have public education anymore because it doesn't have a unifying ethos.
00:54:14.000 OK, you got it.
00:54:15.000 Apply that to the rest of the country.
00:54:18.000 So if conservatives aren't actively trying to educate people as to what's going on, then the left just wins.
00:54:25.000 It's over.
00:54:26.000 And it's already hard enough with the cultural institutions controlled by the left and the constant stream of lies.
00:54:31.000 The big lie from Democrats about January 6 is just one big lie.
00:54:35.000 They don't want you to know that the police opened the door.
00:54:38.000 They don't want you to know that the doors were opened by the cops, and they don't want you to watch the video where that Q shaman walks up to a cop and the cop says, we're gonna work with you, be peaceful, and he goes, you got it, buddy.
00:54:47.000 And they don't tell you.
00:54:48.000 They don't want you to know that a story came out about the Q shaman stopping other people from stealing from the break room.
00:54:53.000 That he was saying we were gonna have a peaceful protest.
00:54:56.000 No, they want him to rot in solitary confinement.
00:54:58.000 Then you watch as police, over the past year, This is the problem with conservatives.
00:55:02.000 Police over the past year have been arresting people for minor violations on wearing masks.
00:55:08.000 There's no law.
00:55:09.000 There was never a law when they shut these people's business down.
00:55:12.000 It was an edict.
00:55:14.000 A governor said, I say it, and it is so.
00:55:17.000 And the cop went, you got it, and then started beating and arresting random people.
00:55:21.000 And the conservatives went, back the blue, baby.
00:55:23.000 Now, once it started getting extreme, conservatives actually started backing away from the police and pushing back against them.
00:55:27.000 But it's starting to come back.
00:55:29.000 I'm seeing more and more conservatives are defending the cops again.
00:55:32.000 And I'm like, bro, there's a lady in Florida, I think, no, no, I'm sorry, Elizabeth City, North Carolina.
00:55:37.000 She was driving one mile an hour through a crowd of Black Lives Matter people who were banging on her car, and they're charging her with two felony counts.
00:55:43.000 The police did that.
00:55:45.000 Okay, your institutions are controlled by the cult.
00:55:47.000 The cops that are there right now are the mindless drones who would beat their own mother if their boss told them to do it.
00:55:54.000 You've got Black Lives Matter flags flying at the embassies.
00:55:57.000 You've got the FBI posting photos of people saying, we're gonna get each and every one of these guys.
00:56:02.000 Nothing happens to Black Lives Matter.
00:56:04.000 Some things do.
00:56:05.000 Do you know how you, there's a really interesting pattern that emerges.
00:56:09.000 The people who were protesting for Black Lives Matter and rioting, the ones who were rioting, and they got arrested.
00:56:14.000 Do you know why those particular individuals got arrested?
00:56:17.000 It's usually like they threw a brick at a police department.
00:56:20.000 They attacked a government building specifically.
00:56:22.000 But when it comes to the burning down of businesses, those people are free to go.
00:56:26.000 The guy who died in the pawn shop that burned down in Minneapolis,
00:56:29.000 no, we're not going to worry about that at all.
00:56:31.000 Oh, but what was that? That Bubba dude from NASCAR, the garage puller up looked like a noose, better send in a
00:56:36.000 dozen agents.
00:56:37.000 So this is definitional anarcho-tyranny.
00:56:39.000 Yes.
00:56:40.000 Exactly.
00:56:41.000 It is what it is.
00:56:42.000 You know, these... Well, maybe.
00:56:44.000 But no, I think we've just... I think the cult is in control.
00:56:48.000 And I think conservatives... Sure.
00:56:50.000 I mean, you can say... Don't fight.
00:56:52.000 Well, right.
00:56:52.000 So you can say that, you know, in many ways, BLM, Antifa are agents of the state.
00:57:01.000 They are absolutely agents of the state.
00:57:03.000 You know, and, you know, and and if you, you know, you fall outside that, you know, you're on the right, you're, you know, that's exactly how it works.
00:57:11.000 Then I can I can sit here and the hammer comes down.
00:57:14.000 But but a mythology has to be created in order for this thing to hold.
00:57:17.000 A mythology has to be created about our unique particular evil.
00:57:24.000 Which is what January 6th is.
00:57:25.000 Right.
00:57:26.000 Which is, you know, and the commission is, this is the idea.
00:57:29.000 What we're going to do now is we're going to spend the next X number of months to keep hammering home every day that, you know, why these guys are uniquely evil, why this is the enemy that you need to hate if you are a good American.
00:57:41.000 Yep.
00:57:42.000 And Republicans sided with Democrats on this one in the House and in the Senate.
00:57:46.000 Look, I mean, it's shameful.
00:57:46.000 Yeah.
00:57:48.000 It's shameful that that I mean, forget about Trump.
00:57:51.000 Right.
00:57:52.000 This is not even about Trump.
00:57:53.000 It's about it's about sort of like baseline political warfare, baseline awareness of where we are in the movie.
00:58:01.000 You know, this is this clearly what they're trying to do.
00:58:03.000 They're trying to to to create and to Two Towers?
00:58:09.000 They're trying to create this phantom enemy.
00:58:13.000 If this is a trilogy, we just wrapped up the middle, the second movie, where it ends with a cliffhanger where
00:58:21.000 the heroes lose.
00:58:22.000 No, the two towers ended with them smashing up Isengard.
00:58:26.000 That was awesome.
00:58:27.000 Treebeard, he's like, we're going to war.
00:58:29.000 And I'm like, yeah.
00:58:30.000 No, it's more like maybe Star Wars where, you know, an empire,
00:58:34.000 it's like Khan's frozen and like the Empire's back and they're like,
00:58:38.000 And it's like, stay tuned to the next movie!
00:58:41.000 So it's like, you get the start of the culture war, and it ends with the great victory of Donald Trump, and everyone's like, yeah!
00:58:46.000 Then you get part two, and it's Donald Trump's presidency, but then, oh no!
00:58:50.000 The empire strikes back.
00:58:52.000 And now we're sitting there with the mega Death Star with the force field on it, and, uh, we'll see, we'll see how it goes.
00:58:58.000 Maybe someone will pick up the emperor and throw him down a shaft.
00:59:01.000 Or maybe we're really early in the movie.
00:59:04.000 So that's what that's what I was thinking.
00:59:06.000 You know, really.
00:59:07.000 Or even in the or even in the prequels, the prequels.
00:59:10.000 Yeah.
00:59:10.000 I mean, who knows?
00:59:11.000 I mean, it's that bad.
00:59:12.000 Right.
00:59:13.000 And I don't know.
00:59:14.000 Like, you know, in the Star Wars prequels, they were there.
00:59:17.000 There were there's turmoil, but it was still like the Republic existed.
00:59:20.000 Yeah.
00:59:21.000 Let me maybe.
00:59:22.000 Maybe.
00:59:23.000 Let me ask you.
00:59:23.000 I know where I was just talking earlier about Strauss and how in the fourth turning.
00:59:27.000 Yes.
00:59:28.000 Do you know John's Anarchist and and generational dynamics?
00:59:32.000 No, don't explain it.
00:59:34.000 You need to get into this guy.
00:59:36.000 When I was helping Andrew Breitbart put together Big Piece, he was the first guy that I reached out to, John Xenakis, who has a website called Generational Dynamics.
00:59:49.000 Basically the Strauss and Howe thesis is that You know, America has four turns, four turns, four turns, and it keeps going different seasons of generations.
01:00:00.000 So just we'll give it for people who aren't familiar.
01:00:02.000 The real quick is you get a period of what is it of after a crisis?
01:00:07.000 There's like a great growth.
01:00:10.000 Then there's a period of sort of, like, the high, we level off.
01:00:13.000 Then things start to shake.
01:00:15.000 Then you get a crisis.
01:00:16.000 Then it goes, after the crisis, things get better again.
01:00:18.000 Right.
01:00:18.000 So there's four stages, and if you go back from now, like, 80 years, you had World War II.
01:00:23.000 Before that, you had the Civil War.
01:00:24.000 Before that, you had the Revolutionary War.
01:00:25.000 It's a cycle of approximately 80 years.
01:00:27.000 So we're in the fourth turning right now.
01:00:29.000 So anyway, continue.
01:00:29.000 Right.
01:00:30.000 Anyway, yeah, yeah.
01:00:31.000 So, I mean, which isn't... Real quick, sorry.
01:00:33.000 Which means we should be expecting a very serious crisis on the scale of war within the next seven years.
01:00:39.000 Right.
01:00:40.000 Generational crisis period.
01:00:41.000 Right.
01:00:42.000 So, I mean, it's not it's not new.
01:00:44.000 It's he's taking the cycle of regimes and he's compressing it.
01:00:49.000 And, you know, and looking at a different way.
01:00:50.000 Anyway, what Xenakis was doing was he's applying this to international affairs.
01:00:55.000 So if you're looking at like America is following along one particular rotation, let's say you've got let's say you're talking about America and England.
01:01:05.000 England has its own rotation.
01:01:08.000 Iraq has its own rotation.
01:01:10.000 So it enables you to predict what is going to happen in war and in these things.
01:01:18.000 It's a methodology more than a particular I think there's going to be a collapse.
01:01:27.000 If you look at this Drossau generational theory, whether it's true or not, I mean, maybe it's just a coincidence that we've had these periods.
01:01:35.000 And often, you know, people point out, like, what about Korean War?
01:01:39.000 What about Vietnam?
01:01:40.000 What about, you know, Iraq and Afghanistan?
01:01:41.000 Where do these fit into these theories and things like that?
01:01:44.000 So maybe it'll happen, maybe it won't, but I do see when you have the Democrats lying and it is relentless, it is a zombie horde, they never stop.
01:01:56.000 There's no break, there's no calm, there's no peace, there's no compromise.
01:02:00.000 And the best part is they wield the propaganda machines and the big tech establishment to claim it's the Republicans who are doing that when the Republicans are sleeping on the job.
01:02:09.000 So what happens is I sit here every day.
01:02:11.000 At best they're sleeping on the job.
01:02:11.000 At best.
01:02:12.000 Yeah, some of them are just absent.
01:02:14.000 So I sit here every day watching the news and I'm like, here we go again.
01:02:17.000 The Democrats are lying about everything and the Republicans have, some of them are agreeing with the Democrats and the rest of them are just sitting there acting like speed bumps.
01:02:26.000 So you watch them.
01:02:28.000 You watch the empire taking control.
01:02:30.000 And I really want to stress a point I've been making all week when people would say, how did Nazi Germany get so bad where everybody's doing the Roman salute?
01:02:38.000 People in this country for the past year have been doing the red salute on marches in the thousands, defying the edicts of the governors in which conservatives got arrested because they were defying the mandates.
01:02:50.000 Yet these red saluting extremists And regular people who joined in get a pass.
01:02:56.000 They didn't wear masks, they didn't lock down, and nothing was done about it.
01:03:00.000 And when you look at New York, what did de Blasio say?
01:03:02.000 Well, they're allowed to do that.
01:03:04.000 But what happened when the conservatives stood on the steps of the Michigan Statehouse waving
01:03:07.000 a little Gadsden flag?
01:03:08.000 Terrorists.
01:03:09.000 Oh, it was a terrorist attack, yeah.
01:03:10.000 There we go.
01:03:11.000 We'll have to be careful because the people doing the red salute could be, if you look
01:03:16.000 at World War II metaphor, the communists, that they developed the Nazi party to counter.
01:03:22.000 So we got to be careful that we don't end up creating a movement to counter this woke mob that ends up becoming the dangerous Nazis.
01:03:28.000 I don't think there's anything you can do about it, man.
01:03:30.000 Nope.
01:03:30.000 What do you mean?
01:03:31.000 Of course we can.
01:03:32.000 No.
01:03:32.000 We're creating it as we go.
01:03:33.000 No, see, what happens is there's, for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction.
01:03:38.000 When you get thousands of people marching through the streets doing the Red Salute, don't be surprised when you get a counter force.
01:03:44.000 You'll have an energetically equal response, but the way it manifests is up to us.
01:03:50.000 It could be violent.
01:03:51.000 It could be peaceful.
01:03:53.000 It could be chaotic.
01:03:53.000 It could be organized.
01:03:54.000 It's going to be the exact same thing.
01:03:56.000 I don't think so.
01:03:57.000 It shows itself in different ways.
01:03:59.000 It might be another party like you saw the Proud Boys kind of, but that floundered more or less.
01:04:03.000 I don't know.
01:04:04.000 They got crushed by the state.
01:04:05.000 And Antifa is protected by the state.
01:04:05.000 Yeah.
01:04:07.000 Anything that comes up from the right that looks anything like Antifa is going to be crushed by the state.
01:04:12.000 Yeah, they don't want another Nazi party.
01:04:13.000 That's exactly what January 6th is about.
01:04:16.000 That's what it's about.
01:04:17.000 It's in order to stop that.
01:04:18.000 And frankly, it's in order to stop any more rallies.
01:04:22.000 Right.
01:04:23.000 I mean, people are afraid to have rallies.
01:04:24.000 You have a rally, and they're going to make the claim.
01:04:26.000 January 6th, January 6th.
01:04:27.000 Oh, no.
01:04:27.000 Correct.
01:04:28.000 Yep.
01:04:29.000 And they have, I mean, part of, you know, in my in my kind of past life, I was doing terrorism analysis.
01:04:29.000 Correct.
01:04:36.000 And, you know, so I'm kind of intimately familiar with what they're about to do to us here, which is, you know, they've already they've already created these absurd metrics.
01:04:47.000 They've already created You know, ideological screens and tests for who is a terrorist and all of us here, frankly, you know, fall under it.
01:04:58.000 Oh, yeah.
01:04:59.000 And, you know, and and and this is how they will justify I mean, you know, this is how they will justify using social media companies.
01:05:07.000 Right.
01:05:07.000 To go after us, you know, financial institutions, things like that.
01:05:11.000 So it's it's better.
01:05:12.000 It's very bad.
01:05:13.000 You look you look back at history and you can see the assassination plots against certain, you know, according to the government, the undesirable figures, the activists who are leading the charges for social change and stuff.
01:05:25.000 So they should have killed people.
01:05:27.000 But at a certain point, they realize you create martyrs.
01:05:29.000 You make people immortal.
01:05:31.000 Then we see Julian Assange.
01:05:32.000 What do they do to him?
01:05:33.000 Character assassination.
01:05:34.000 Keep him in a box.
01:05:34.000 Character assassination.
01:05:35.000 Destroy his legacy.
01:05:37.000 Now, the left, that used to love the man, hate the man.
01:05:40.000 They despise him.
01:05:41.000 He's a rapist.
01:05:42.000 It's not true.
01:05:43.000 Read the news.
01:05:44.000 It's all clearly fake and made up.
01:05:45.000 And then lock him in a box and let him slowly die a slow and miserable death.
01:05:50.000 Julian Assange did a bunch of really great work exposing a lot of the corruption, and so they figured out the best way to deal with him is to make sure he'll never be a martyr.
01:05:57.000 Don't let him die.
01:05:58.000 Let him slowly rot away and lose his mental faculties, and then accuse him of extremely heinous crimes so that people are scared to say they support him.
01:06:04.000 And that's what's in store for everybody else.
01:06:06.000 But it also means that there's not gonna be trains.
01:06:10.000 They're not gonna round people up.
01:06:11.000 That's not gonna happen.
01:06:12.000 What's gonna happen is they're gonna shut off your credit card, and then you're gonna starve.
01:06:15.000 And then they're gonna say, well, but it's a private company.
01:06:18.000 Oh, but, you know, go use your U.S.
01:06:20.000 Go buy... Oh, but the store doesn't take cash?
01:06:20.000 dollars.
01:06:22.000 Maybe you shouldn't be a bigot.
01:06:22.000 Well, that's too bad.
01:06:24.000 Bigot?
01:06:25.000 My friend just lost her PayPal.
01:06:26.000 Why?
01:06:27.000 She has no idea.
01:06:29.000 Gone.
01:06:30.000 You know, she's public and on the right.
01:06:30.000 Yep.
01:06:33.000 It could be anything.
01:06:34.000 Yeah.
01:06:35.000 And, you know, take away your access to banking, which they've done to the Proud Boys.
01:06:39.000 They've done to a bunch of groups.
01:06:41.000 It's amazing.
01:06:43.000 It's happening and it's getting worse every day.
01:06:45.000 What did they say yesterday?
01:06:45.000 Gradually and then suddenly, someone said in the super chats.
01:06:48.000 And it's and it's remarkable.
01:06:48.000 Yeah.
01:06:49.000 That's my line.
01:06:51.000 It comes from Hemingway.
01:06:52.000 Yeah.
01:06:53.000 It's how do you go broke?
01:06:53.000 Yeah.
01:06:55.000 Yep.
01:06:55.000 Gradually and then suddenly from a movable feast.
01:06:58.000 So, what we have now is, uh... I think... I don't think it's, uh... The night is always darkest before the dawn.
01:07:06.000 But I don't think it's completely hopeless.
01:07:07.000 I think what'll happen is there will be a collapse.
01:07:09.000 I think the states will split apart.
01:07:10.000 I think Florida, Ron DeSantis, is... I know people who are... If I have a friend who's moving, you know where they're moving to?
01:07:18.000 Texas or Florida.
01:07:19.000 Sure.
01:07:19.000 Yep.
01:07:20.000 And I'm like, come on, West Virginia, what are you doing?
01:07:24.000 Get on it!
01:07:26.000 How do you compete with the beach?
01:07:28.000 It's very hard.
01:07:29.000 Yeah, but the weather, it's so humid.
01:07:31.000 It's so hot.
01:07:32.000 It's like 10,000 degrees.
01:07:34.000 Literally.
01:07:35.000 Like I swear, I saw someone just like burst into flames, spontaneously combust once when I was in Miami.
01:07:38.000 And I'm like, ah!
01:07:39.000 I had to run to shade.
01:07:41.000 Have you seen The Core?
01:07:45.000 Where they go to the center of the earth to reset the core?
01:07:47.000 There's a scene where like... Oh, so it's a documentary.
01:07:50.000 Yeah.
01:07:51.000 There's a scene where, like, because the magnetosphere is weak, solar microwaves beam through and it's like this beam is just melting, like, the Golden Gate Bridge and it's collapsing because it's so hot.
01:08:01.000 That's like Miami.
01:08:02.000 It's like that, yeah.
01:08:02.000 Like, you're just walking on the beach, you see everyone runs from the sun and people are just being melted and... No, it's not that bad.
01:08:09.000 But they're going to Florida and Texas because of the laws.
01:08:11.000 Because Florida and Texas are actually protecting individual rights and resisting all this stuff.
01:08:16.000 You look at these blue states, That's bad.
01:08:19.000 And what's really bad is the stuff we're talking about with the cult.
01:08:23.000 It's blue states putting in people at the federal level who then exert authority over red states.
01:08:28.000 Makes no sense.
01:08:30.000 Or like somebody in West Virginia wants to go hunt feral hogs with their buddy down the street and they lend him a gun.
01:08:35.000 It's fine.
01:08:36.000 Not in the blue states.
01:08:37.000 I think that we've been negligent about a lot of local politics in this country.
01:08:46.000 Every four years we have this big nonsense going on in Washington DC about who gets to be the president.
01:08:53.000 We've got big nonsense every two years about Congress, etc.
01:08:56.000 etc.
01:08:56.000 Nobody knows who their senator, you know, people know maybe who their senator is.
01:09:00.000 Nobody knows who their representative is.
01:09:02.000 Nobody knows who the mayor is, etc. etc.
01:09:05.000 We need, we in red states need to sit down and get into this.
01:09:08.000 Yes.
01:09:09.000 Local.
01:09:10.000 Yes.
01:09:11.000 All the way.
01:09:12.000 People ask me, oh, you know, do you think so and so will be, you know, will run for
01:09:14.000 the House?
01:09:15.000 Who cares?
01:09:16.000 I don't care.
01:09:18.000 A lot of Republicans did this, too.
01:09:19.000 They were like, my, you know, our district is bad, and if you vote for me, I'll fix the district.
01:09:24.000 And I'm like, no you won't, because you're a federal politician.
01:09:28.000 The person who's gonna fix the district is the alderman, or the local state senator or state rep.
01:09:33.000 The person running for Congress is gonna go to the federal government to represent your district to the federal government.
01:09:37.000 They're gonna be voting on war, not voting on whether or not to clean up the trash in your neighborhood.
01:09:41.000 But they all run on this.
01:09:42.000 Yep.
01:09:43.000 What do they say, like, I'll get federal money for you?
01:09:46.000 No, it's often vague.
01:09:48.000 It's like, if you look at our district, you can see how bad things have gotten with crime on the rise.
01:09:52.000 And I'm like, I don't care.
01:09:54.000 You don't represent those problems.
01:09:56.000 The local politicians do.
01:09:57.000 You're going to go to D.C.
01:09:59.000 and they're going to ask you, should we bomb this country?
01:10:02.000 And you're representing this district as to whether or not we bomb the country.
01:10:05.000 And they're going to vote yes.
01:10:06.000 The nice thing about the internet is that you can do the local politics and show the world how it's done with internet video, and then they can emulate it.
01:10:14.000 So you kind of create a decentralized organizational pattern where we can make a really cool YouTube show about what it's like to run local government.
01:10:23.000 And then the next city will be like, I want to do that too!
01:10:25.000 And then all over the world at once.
01:10:27.000 I've got a solution.
01:10:29.000 I've got a solution to all of our political problems.
01:10:31.000 I call it Marsism.
01:10:33.000 Yes.
01:10:34.000 And we need Elon Musk to help create this new form of government.
01:10:38.000 It's very simple.
01:10:40.000 Every time someone runs for office at the federal level and wins, they go onto a ship which sends them to Mars.
01:10:50.000 That's it.
01:10:51.000 That's it.
01:10:52.000 That's a long commute to work.
01:10:53.000 No, no, just go to Mars.
01:10:55.000 We just move the government.
01:10:57.000 No, the government, the individuals who win.
01:10:59.000 Get in the ship!
01:10:59.000 It's like, yay!
01:11:01.000 Bye!
01:11:02.000 What if it's better on Mars?
01:11:04.000 They'll have a good time, right?
01:11:04.000 That's great.
01:11:04.000 Good for them.
01:11:06.000 And then we won't have them to bug us.
01:11:08.000 I guess that's true.
01:11:10.000 I guess that's true.
01:11:11.000 Nancy Pelosi, you've won for the 30th time.
01:11:14.000 Here's your rocket ship.
01:11:15.000 Thank you, Elon.
01:11:17.000 And then she gets in, and it's like, you know what we do?
01:11:20.000 I would do that to the teachers' unions first.
01:11:22.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.
01:11:22.000 That would be fun.
01:11:24.000 We put the Capitol building... I got an idea.
01:11:27.000 This January 6th thing.
01:11:28.000 It's real bad, all right?
01:11:29.000 These people, this insurrection.
01:11:31.000 I know how to prevent it.
01:11:32.000 Have the Capitol building be on Mars.
01:11:35.000 Boom.
01:11:36.000 Send all of those people to Mars and they can talk amongst themselves and vote how they so choose and they'll never have to worry about an insurrection ever again.
01:11:45.000 Reasonable.
01:11:47.000 I think you're so right about that we need new industry, that we need new banking and new social media.
01:11:54.000 I see a government-free software social media service that's based on the First Amendment, the Constitution, and a banking system on the blockchain.
01:12:03.000 Do it at a local level.
01:12:05.000 Florida should make it.
01:12:06.000 No joke.
01:12:07.000 Extrapolate it.
01:12:08.000 Everybody has a role to play.
01:12:09.000 Think about this.
01:12:12.000 Donald Trump received how many votes in 2020?
01:12:14.000 Like, what, 75?
01:12:16.000 74.2.
01:12:16.000 74.2?
01:12:17.000 That's about the population of France.
01:12:20.000 It's more than France, isn't it?
01:12:22.000 Wow.
01:12:22.000 Right?
01:12:23.000 So, OK, so how many, sure, how many businesses provide things for the French consumer?
01:12:32.000 A lot.
01:12:33.000 This is a big market.
01:12:35.000 I mean, it's not a small number of people.
01:12:36.000 Texas, Florida, here's what you do.
01:12:39.000 You pass a bill right now that will create a Florida social network.
01:12:44.000 Boom.
01:12:45.000 That'd be epic.
01:12:45.000 Look, Hungary just did this.
01:12:47.000 They just created their own social network.
01:12:47.000 Yeah?
01:12:49.000 I love them.
01:12:49.000 Hungry Space.
01:12:50.000 That is familiar to Facebook.
01:12:51.000 Hungry Book.
01:12:52.000 Right.
01:12:52.000 Hungry Space.
01:12:53.000 Yeah.
01:12:54.000 And, you know, but it's just trying to get off the ground.
01:12:58.000 But you're gonna need this type of thing.
01:13:00.000 Yep.
01:13:01.000 You're going to need this type of thing.
01:13:02.000 People wouldn't use it.
01:13:03.000 Right.
01:13:04.000 But here, I guess the problem is Trump had the opportunity to change the game and he decided not to.
01:13:11.000 He didn't know.
01:13:11.000 Exactly.
01:13:12.000 Trump needed to do one thing.
01:13:14.000 Trump could have went on Gab and said hi.
01:13:17.000 Yep.
01:13:18.000 And that would have been a shockwave.
01:13:20.000 I think about that with myself too.
01:13:21.000 I use Twitter.
01:13:22.000 Often.
01:13:23.000 And I'm like, why don't I just post online?
01:13:24.000 It's not that.
01:13:24.000 It's that Trump commanded the news.
01:13:27.000 Correct.
01:13:28.000 And so if Trump said, if Trump went on Parler, Gab or Minds or any platform and said, I am going to send a spaceship to the moon, the media would be forced to report.
01:13:28.000 Exactly.
01:13:39.000 On, you know, Gab, Donald Trump said this, and the reporters would be forced to sign up to follow him.
01:13:45.000 And Trump would not do it.
01:13:46.000 And I guess it was because Jared Kushner, who was just like, I'm not sure that that was the case.
01:13:50.000 Donald, don't take the power away from Silicon Valley.
01:13:55.000 I'm not sure that that was the case.
01:13:56.000 The reporting was that Trump wanted to use Parler and Kushner said not to.
01:14:01.000 So I don't know, maybe it's not true.
01:14:02.000 I don't know.
01:14:03.000 I mean, I would love to know the ins and outs of that, but look, it's absolutely inexcusable what he did.
01:14:09.000 And this is why I think DeSantis should run in 2024, not Trump.
01:14:14.000 And I wonder, where's Trump Jr.
01:14:16.000 to go to his dad and be like, Dad, get on Gab, like, right now.
01:14:21.000 Isn't it too late?
01:14:22.000 Oh, it's way too late.
01:14:23.000 And not only that, instead of doing any of that, he could.
01:14:27.000 He could still do it.
01:14:28.000 It wouldn't matter as much.
01:14:29.000 He just makes his own website.
01:14:31.000 Talk about somebody— Cringe.
01:14:33.000 Cringe.
01:14:33.000 Absolutely.
01:14:35.000 So it's unfortunate that was the best the anti-establishment had to offer.
01:14:38.000 But look, this was a problem throughout the Trump years, which was that he consistently empowered— I mean, look, you're the President of the United States.
01:14:47.000 You can say, I'm going to talk to whoever, you know, whichever media outlet I want, and in so doing, you will elevate this outlet.
01:14:55.000 Who did he go to?
01:14:56.000 He talked to New York Times, Washington Post, you know?
01:15:01.000 Haberman, he was on the phone with her all hours of the night, you know, it was reported.
01:15:05.000 Like, you know, I'm sorry, call the Federalist.
01:15:08.000 Call the Daily Caller.
01:15:10.000 You know?
01:15:11.000 There's no law that says the New York Times and the Washington Post need to have access.
01:15:16.000 It's because Republicans, Trump included, care more about what the New York Times thinks about them than their own constituents.
01:15:24.000 Maybe not so much for Trump, but for the Republicans, yes.
01:15:27.000 Sure.
01:15:28.000 The New York Times comes out and says, you know, this politician, look, look at Ted Cruz, right?
01:15:28.000 What a loser.
01:15:31.000 When he went on vacation and then he flew back because the media was yelling at him.
01:15:34.000 That's so that's so lame.
01:15:36.000 What a loser.
01:15:38.000 You think it should have stayed?
01:15:38.000 They're like, I liked Ted Cruz, so I'll take that one back.
01:15:41.000 But, uh, it was pathetic.
01:15:43.000 It was one of the most pathetic things.
01:15:44.000 It's like having a car that's kind of beat up and crappy.
01:15:48.000 If I went on vacation during a storm or whatever, and the media got mad, I'd get a cigar.
01:15:53.000 What are those things called where you clip the cigar with it?
01:15:55.000 You know what I mean?
01:15:56.000 Clipper.
01:15:56.000 Clipper.
01:15:56.000 I don't know anything about cigars.
01:15:57.000 But you know what I'd do?
01:15:58.000 I'd get one anyway.
01:15:58.000 I'd get like a velvet or a... Smoky jacket.
01:16:02.000 Like a robe.
01:16:02.000 No, no, no, no.
01:16:03.000 A robe.
01:16:04.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:16:05.000 And then I'd turn the video on while I'm in whatever place.
01:16:09.000 I'd put my feet up.
01:16:10.000 I'd clip the cigar.
01:16:11.000 I'd light it.
01:16:13.000 And that's it.
01:16:14.000 Well, look, that's how you have to do it, because you need to
01:16:19.000 give them at least at least as much contempt as they give you.
01:16:22.000 Just stop bending the knee.
01:16:25.000 Well, the problem in American politics, I think the kind of
01:16:29.000 crucial thing that hit me one day that I realized that a lot
01:16:34.000 of stuff makes sense is that the Democrat donor is to the left of
01:16:39.000 the Democrat base.
01:16:41.000 Yep.
01:16:42.000 The Republican donor is to the left of the Republican base.
01:16:47.000 So what that does is that encourages the left to move left and encourages civil war on the right.
01:16:53.000 Did you see that video that's going viral where the girl shows the pregnancy test?
01:16:57.000 And then she's crying, like, what am I- You saw that, Ian?
01:16:59.000 Yeah, I just saw it today.
01:17:00.000 She's like, what am I gonna do?
01:17:01.000 Ha, just kidding!
01:17:02.000 She throws it, she's like, I already got the appointment!
01:17:04.000 Well, and then she pours a bottle of wine.
01:17:06.000 I saw, uh, Phil Labonte tweeted it, and he was like- It was an abortion thing.
01:17:10.000 What?
01:17:10.000 An abortion.
01:17:11.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:17:11.000 She was- she's pro-choice, and she was like- Oh, she already got the- right, right.
01:17:14.000 She's holding the pregnancy test, going like, oh no, what's gonna happen?
01:17:16.000 And then she starts laughing, haha!
01:17:18.000 I am what conservatives fear!
01:17:19.000 And then she drinks wine or something.
01:17:21.000 And I'm like, uh, I'm not a conservative.
01:17:24.000 I don't fear you, but I am disgusted by you.
01:17:26.000 Because these leftists, their ideology, their mentality is built upon one-upping each other on social media.
01:17:33.000 So they don't realize that, like, I grew up in a Democrat household of pro-choice individuals who thought abortion was disgusting, but for political and liberty reasons and medical reasons, we were pro-choice.
01:17:45.000 And it's a difficult thing.
01:17:47.000 And I remember my dad would always be like, you know, it's a really awful thing.
01:17:50.000 You should probably avoid it at all costs, but I understand that it's got to be between the person and their doctor and I shouldn't be involved in it.
01:17:56.000 And I remember growing up being like, safe, legal, rare.
01:17:59.000 Now you've got one faction that's- Shout your abortion.
01:18:02.000 Pro-abortion.
01:18:03.000 It's not pro-choice.
01:18:04.000 It's literally pro-abortion.
01:18:05.000 Michelle Wolf goes on Netflix screaming You get an abortion, and you get an abortion, and Lena Dunham says she wished she had an abortion, and I'm like, these videos, man, these are horrifyingly disturbing videos for a moderate, like, former Democrat-type personality.
01:18:20.000 I go to my family, and they're like, this is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen.
01:18:24.000 We're the pro-choice people.
01:18:25.000 Not anymore.
01:18:26.000 There was a poll I saw recently.
01:18:28.000 Most people agree with safe, legal, and rare.
01:18:31.000 Most people agree with a restriction on third trimester.
01:18:33.000 By wide margins.
01:18:34.000 Wide margins, yeah.
01:18:35.000 So who are these fringe lunatics on social media believing that is what people like?
01:18:40.000 So, Phil is correct.
01:18:41.000 If there is a move to the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, it's going to be because moderates back off-line.
01:18:48.000 I'm not on your side.
01:18:49.000 You're crazy.
01:18:50.000 It's like, I'm not gonna stand next to that lady.
01:18:53.000 She can go out and protest.
01:18:54.000 I'm not doing it.
01:18:55.000 Nah, I'll be over there.
01:18:55.000 You guys are nuts.
01:18:57.000 That's the kind of thing that's a really good example of what's happening.
01:19:00.000 There is a fringe element where they go on social media and they constantly one-up each other with the most insane psychobabble nonsense.
01:19:07.000 And regular Democrat voters aren't there.
01:19:10.000 So these people on social media are dictating what Nancy Pelosi does to a certain degree.
01:19:16.000 Yeah.
01:19:16.000 I mean, this is how.
01:19:17.000 Right.
01:19:17.000 And this.
01:19:18.000 But this is how the left is radicalized also.
01:19:21.000 You know, I mean, now you've got like a West Virginia, you know, upper middle class couple with, you know, three kids who are social justice warriors because because they go on Instagram.
01:19:31.000 It's the craziest thing when I go to like West Virginia and I see the flags and I'm like, what are you doing?
01:19:36.000 You don't.
01:19:37.000 What do you live?
01:19:37.000 But these people are leaving, though.
01:19:38.000 I read an article from the AP.
01:19:40.000 The the people who are slightly more woke are leaving West Virginia.
01:19:45.000 And they're going to big cities.
01:19:46.000 They're going to Oakland and New York and things like that.
01:19:49.000 So this is the physical polarization.
01:19:51.000 Good.
01:19:52.000 This is why I said I think collapse is inevitable.
01:19:53.000 Fantastic.
01:19:54.000 Red states will get redder.
01:19:55.000 Blue states will get bluer.
01:19:56.000 And then eventually you're going to have someone in New York who's like going to run for office.
01:20:01.000 We're going to get to the point where you have a congressperson who is screaming about how 1619 is fact and these conspiracy Q lunatics believe this country was founded in 1776.
01:20:11.000 Can you believe it?
01:20:13.000 Right.
01:20:14.000 But we're there already.
01:20:14.000 It's just it hasn't happened yet.
01:20:15.000 Because it was and the guy's going to plot a cane, start whacking him and you know what
01:20:19.000 that leads to, right?
01:20:20.000 Right.
01:20:21.000 So when you see that the ideologies are so completely broken.
01:20:26.000 But we're there already, it's just, it hasn't happened yet.
01:20:29.000 It's because there's- I mean all the bricks are in place.
01:20:32.000 Well, no, no, no.
01:20:32.000 So there's still a large portion of older people who are, like, sitting there with their feet up, kind of like, I don't know, you know, I don't understand what's happening.
01:20:40.000 But you look at the younger generations that are being raised in this war, millennials, Gen Xers, not so much in it, you know?
01:20:47.000 No, no, no.
01:20:47.000 I mean, this is what I was just saying this the other day.
01:20:49.000 Gen X is like, you guys, I mean, I'm Gen X.
01:20:52.000 Right.
01:20:53.000 You know.
01:20:53.000 But then Millennials, full scale.
01:20:55.000 Full on.
01:20:56.000 Yeah.
01:20:56.000 Gen Z, it is substantially more.
01:21:00.000 They're very, like, internet based.
01:21:02.000 And so, I don't know where Gen Alpha will go, but I think when you raise people in this climate, what's going to happen is a Millennial understands history of 1776. But then here's 1619. If their tribe deem
01:21:18.000 it so, they say, okay, 1619. But they still understand, well, there are history books, but they're
01:21:22.000 this, that, or otherwise. What happens when you have these kids, gen alpha growing up, where they
01:21:27.000 only know 1619 from their parents?
01:21:30.000 Then they're like, these people are conspiracy lunatics who believe in some fringe alternate
01:21:36.000 history about Benjamin Franklin? Like, he has nothing to do with anything. He's not who founded
01:21:41.000 this country. And then what happens when those two people meet each other over a conflict?
01:21:45.000 They can't even have a discussion over the ground they stand on.
01:21:49.000 Mm-hmm.
01:21:50.000 When the United States gets into a conflict with another country, we don't necessarily have arguments over, like, their country versus our country and our histories.
01:21:59.000 It's like resources versus resources or the future of the countries.
01:22:02.000 Hey, you need to trade agreement with us because we want to use this river or this strait or whatever.
01:22:06.000 Well, it's one reason why democracies don't fight each other.
01:22:10.000 Right.
01:22:10.000 Because we feel like we need to have conversations about first principles.
01:22:16.000 You know, we can't have conflicts about it.
01:22:18.000 What happens when you have the 100% red states, 100% blue states, and you go to Congress and someone says, I hereby think that all guns should be banned.
01:22:27.000 And the other side says, I think constitutional carry should be universal.
01:22:31.000 Those are like, so I was reading about gun control.
01:22:33.000 We talked about it a bit this week.
01:22:35.000 In the 80s, most states were may-issue concealed carry permits, meaning you probably wouldn't get one.
01:22:39.000 Today, there's like 20-something-plus states that are constitutional carry.
01:22:43.000 Texas just signed it.
01:22:44.000 That means if you're a resident of Texas, you can just walk around with a gun, you can conceal it.
01:22:48.000 Constitutional right to do so.
01:22:49.000 That's a much more extreme version than where we were 40 years ago, even for conservatives.
01:22:54.000 And the Democrats now are nominating a guy, David Chipman, who's like, I want to ban all guns.
01:22:59.000 That guy's crazy.
01:23:00.000 He's nuts!
01:23:01.000 He's like any semi-auto with a detachable magazine that takes over .22 caliber.
01:23:05.000 So like every single gun.
01:23:07.000 Every rifle, sorry.
01:23:08.000 Okay, so what people are saying is that he's just a plant.
01:23:11.000 He's an expendable feint.
01:23:15.000 In order to get the next guy in.
01:23:17.000 And the next guy who comes in will be like, we're not gonna ban AR-15s, but we will NFA them.
01:23:22.000 So here's what I'm saying.
01:23:22.000 Right.
01:23:24.000 The Democrats are at the point where for the past several years they've been straight up ban all guns.
01:23:29.000 I'm not kidding.
01:23:30.000 They've actually advocated for consistently banning semi-automatic weapons.
01:23:34.000 That's like every single handgun.
01:23:37.000 All of them.
01:23:38.000 That's it.
01:23:39.000 That's almost every rifle.
01:23:40.000 So you'll have bolt actions, lever actions, revolvers.
01:23:43.000 But it gets rid of like 80-90% of guns.
01:23:45.000 They just ban them.
01:23:46.000 And then you have the conservatives who are like, constitutional carry.
01:23:50.000 And then you have people like me who end up falling on the two-way side because it's freedom and I'm like, everybody should have a government-issued Barrett M82 with a box of a thousand rounds.
01:23:57.000 I'm kidding, by the way.
01:23:58.000 But I've jokingly talked about, semi-jokingly, the Department of Gun Services guaranteeing the right to own a firearm.
01:24:05.000 Because it's in the Constitution.
01:24:06.000 If you want universal health care, well, we have a right to bear arms, so we get that first.
01:24:06.000 Sure.
01:24:09.000 I digress.
01:24:09.000 The point is, the Democrats are as extreme as possible.
01:24:14.000 The conservatives are getting, I wouldn't say extreme, but in a sense.
01:24:21.000 I don't want to say extreme because being like, do your thing as the Constitution dictates, I wouldn't call that extreme.
01:24:25.000 I would call that foundational.
01:24:27.000 But it is very different.
01:24:28.000 I think conservatives are going from yelling stop To actually putting their foot down and say, OK, we're going to stop.
01:24:35.000 That's why the DeSantis bill is important.
01:24:37.000 Yeah.
01:24:38.000 Because instead of just, you know, bitching and moaning about big tech censorship, it's something.
01:24:44.000 Where are the rest of the red states?
01:24:46.000 This is I mean, this is this is a problem.
01:24:48.000 This is a huge problem.
01:24:50.000 And and I hope it's an indicator.
01:24:52.000 I hope it lets people know about the dire nature of the situation.
01:24:58.000 That it's only Florida.
01:24:59.000 Everybody do this.
01:25:01.000 Tell your friends, your state, if you're in a red state, you call your politicians and you say, please just do everything DeSantis is doing.
01:25:10.000 Just there you go.
01:25:11.000 We're done.
01:25:13.000 I will say the DeSantis bill is good on social media censorship, but I'm told the Abbott one is better.
01:25:18.000 So follow the Texas social media.
01:25:20.000 Because of Ken Paxton, who's great.
01:25:21.000 Yeah, so I guess in Texas it actually treats, this is what I was told by Alan Bakari, that it treats the social networks like common carriers.
01:25:28.000 So it's like a phone company now.
01:25:28.000 Right.
01:25:29.000 Yeah.
01:25:30.000 Florida doesn't, which means it'll be very difficult to enforce a lot of what they do, hence they're being sued.
01:25:35.000 But I'm talking like constitutional carry and social media rights and stuff like that.
01:25:40.000 Just do that stuff.
01:25:43.000 Yeah.
01:25:44.000 But you gotta call, you gotta call and tell them.
01:25:45.000 Right.
01:25:46.000 The other aspect of this, too, is to make sure in Florida, at least, you've got cities and municipalities that are really excited now.
01:25:55.000 I know the mayor of Miami is just as excited as can be about bringing more people into Miami.
01:26:01.000 Well, he's got to do this in a responsible way so as not to bring in, you know, he wants to make Miami the new hub of big tech.
01:26:08.000 OK, that's great.
01:26:10.000 You're going to bring a thousand social justice warriors in from, you know, from Silicon Valley?
01:26:15.000 You're not going to win again if that's what you do.
01:26:17.000 I'm going to start hiring.
01:26:19.000 I'm hiring people and making them all move to West Virginia.
01:26:22.000 So it's like we're hiring where we're hiring and we need to hire like a ton of people, but you got to live in the middle of nowhere.
01:26:28.000 And hey, West Virginia is paying people like 12 grand to move there.
01:26:31.000 Yeah.
01:26:31.000 So it's a great opportunity.
01:26:33.000 And there's a bunch of tax incentives.
01:26:33.000 Yeah.
01:26:35.000 So it's like, here you go.
01:26:37.000 You know, but I get a lot of people don't want to necessarily move to West Virginia.
01:26:41.000 They want to go to Texas.
01:26:42.000 And I'm like, well, you know, look, Texas is cool.
01:26:42.000 Sure.
01:26:45.000 And I get it because West Virginia is not moving fast enough.
01:26:47.000 I mean, I have friends who work in D.C.
01:26:50.000 who are considering West Virginia.
01:26:52.000 It's close.
01:26:53.000 It's a place where you can commute.
01:26:54.000 You can absolutely commute.
01:26:54.000 Right.
01:26:56.000 And if you, you know, maybe you'll go into the office two days a week, three days a week.
01:27:00.000 It's absolutely doable.
01:27:01.000 Well, that's one of the problems is that parts of West Virginia are turning blue.
01:27:05.000 They're almost blue because D.C.
01:27:07.000 people are moving.
01:27:08.000 It's hilarious.
01:27:10.000 So the eastern part of West Virginia is now like 47 percent Democrat in one particular county because it's D.C.
01:27:19.000 workers who moved here for freedom.
01:27:22.000 It's really funny because like you know like neighborhoods apps and stuff you can really tell who the city people are when they're complaining about like animals and bears and like gunshots going off and you're like you should not be living here but but there was a story that uh AP report I'd mentioned that they're actually losing more people uh the people who are like lefty pro-union anti-gun are like I just can't stand this it's so weird and creepy and wrong and they're leaving And I'm like, opportunity, guys.
01:27:50.000 Sure.
01:27:50.000 You know, if you want to live in a big city, smells like sour milk and you can't do anything, you go ahead, do it with my blessing.
01:27:58.000 You want to go in the mountains?
01:27:59.000 But that also speaks to an awareness on their side.
01:28:01.000 I mean, you know, we've been talking about this conflict and we think about it a lot and talk about it a lot.
01:28:07.000 OK, but the other guys, even if they're not talking about it, it enters their consciousness.
01:28:15.000 I think everybody should move to West Virginia.
01:28:17.000 Everybody in the world?
01:28:18.000 No, no, no, no, no.
01:28:19.000 I'm talking about people who are paying attention.
01:28:21.000 All of India moves to West Virginia.
01:28:24.000 I think literally you could fit all of the people in the world into Houston or something.
01:28:28.000 Really?
01:28:29.000 If they were stacked shoulder to shoulder.
01:28:31.000 Some ridiculous thing like that.
01:28:32.000 Well, no, it's bigger than that, but very little space.
01:28:35.000 No, no, I'm saying, like, the people who are fleeing Minneapolis, for instance, the people who are fleeing California, don't vote for Democrats if you're going to support the local politics.
01:28:46.000 But, like, people should start setting up industry in other places.
01:28:49.000 I've got very little.
01:28:50.000 For years, I'm telling people to move to red states, you know, Florida, Texas, I mean, wherever.
01:28:54.000 And I'm just, you hear the same things.
01:28:57.000 Oh, I can't.
01:28:58.000 I've got this reason.
01:28:58.000 I've got that reason.
01:28:59.000 OK, at some point, it's probably going to get bad enough for you to do it.
01:29:03.000 This is the way I explained it.
01:29:05.000 Like, there's a house, and there's a small fire in the garage.
01:29:09.000 And they're like, yeah, I know there's a fire there, but I think I'll be fine.
01:29:12.000 And you're like, at a certain point, the fire's gonna spread to the kitchen.
01:29:15.000 And then you're gonna be sitting there, and if it spreads to the door, you're trapped.
01:29:19.000 Anybody that has a fire in their house and doesn't take immediate emergency evasive action is a moron.
01:29:25.000 And look what's happening with people who live in San Francisco.
01:29:28.000 Yep.
01:29:29.000 If you're a conservative and you live in San Francisco, I'm sorry.
01:29:31.000 I used to.
01:29:32.000 I lived there for five years.
01:29:33.000 And you left.
01:29:34.000 And I left, of course I left.
01:29:35.000 Because there's human waste all over the ground.
01:29:37.000 When I lived there, it was clean.
01:29:40.000 It was clean.
01:29:41.000 What years were you there?
01:29:42.000 I was there, I guess early 2000s.
01:29:47.000 And yeah, early 2000s and in the late 90s, a little bit, too.
01:29:53.000 But I didn't want to be surrounded by crazy people.
01:29:57.000 What part of the city were you in?
01:29:58.000 I was in the Mission.
01:29:59.000 I was in.
01:30:00.000 Oh, yeah.
01:30:01.000 I was right there.
01:30:01.000 Yeah.
01:30:02.000 I was on mission.
01:30:03.000 I was on mission.
01:30:04.000 And then I was in Knob Hill before.
01:30:06.000 I love that area.
01:30:07.000 I was over there, too.
01:30:07.000 Yeah.
01:30:08.000 And it was look.
01:30:09.000 I mean, it was great.
01:30:10.000 It was it was great.
01:30:11.000 But the city collapsed the same way that New York collapsed, which is that the middle class It disappeared.
01:30:18.000 And the middle class overlaps with the creative class too.
01:30:22.000 So when the interesting people leave and they can no longer afford to live there, I mean
01:30:27.000 first the families go.
01:30:29.000 And then the people who have no families but don't make a lot of money and do, you know,
01:30:34.000 play music and, you know, cultural life things.
01:30:39.000 When they can no longer afford to live in the city, you've got very poor and very rich.
01:30:44.000 And it's boring, and the city falls apart, and, you know, people are saying, oh, New York is going to come back.
01:30:50.000 Nah, I don't think so.
01:30:50.000 It's not coming back.
01:30:51.000 Nope.
01:30:52.000 It may be clean and safe in the future.
01:30:54.000 Well, the rats, you know.
01:30:56.000 But it's not gonna be fun.
01:30:57.000 The rats are desperate, and so there's been rat packs running around the city.
01:31:02.000 So rats used to just eat the refuse.
01:31:04.000 There was always, always waste.
01:31:04.000 It was easy.
01:31:07.000 Once the people disappeared, the rats had to go out and start fighting.
01:31:09.000 There's like a video of like a rat fighting a pigeon, and they're like both trying to eat each other.
01:31:13.000 Well look, you've got, you know, how many rats are in New York, do you think?
01:31:17.000 Millions?
01:31:18.000 Tens of millions.
01:31:19.000 And humans were constantly throwing garbage on the ground for rats to eat, enough for the rats and the pigeons to sustain a certain level of population.
01:31:28.000 Humans all disappeared.
01:31:29.000 Now all of a sudden the rats, no food.
01:31:31.000 Pigeons, no food.
01:31:32.000 They start fighting each other.
01:31:32.000 Sure.
01:31:33.000 There's like a video of someone getting attacked by a squirrel too.
01:31:36.000 Like a squirrel was desperate, was like biting people.
01:31:37.000 Yeah, and you get bit by that, you gotta go get your rabies shots.
01:31:40.000 Sure.
01:31:40.000 Numerous shots.
01:31:41.000 Who, ah, you wanna live there?
01:31:43.000 By all means, you do it with my blessing.
01:31:44.000 I'm gonna go out in the middle of the woods and, you know, I went out today and I grabbed
01:31:49.000 like 30 or 40 cicadas in like 10 minutes.
01:31:52.000 Just chuck them into the chicken.
01:31:53.000 It's quick, yeah.
01:31:54.000 Make a nice stew.
01:31:55.000 No, I'm not gonna eat bugs off the ground.
01:31:57.000 Get parasites.
01:31:58.000 Get the chickens.
01:31:59.000 Chickens, ate them up.
01:32:00.000 Gobbled them up.
01:32:01.000 Hey, it's like I don't gotta buy chicken food this month.
01:32:03.000 We got all the cicadas.
01:32:04.000 It's crazy.
01:32:05.000 It's like, I walk along the edge of the property, collecting like 10 minutes, like 30, 40 cicadas.
01:32:11.000 What do chickens usually eat?
01:32:13.000 An hour later, I go back out, same thing.
01:32:15.000 There's more.
01:32:15.000 Cicadas are all back.
01:32:17.000 Chickens eat, just chicken feed.
01:32:20.000 So there's something called the egg-laying layer.
01:32:23.000 It's a protein meal.
01:32:24.000 They eat bugs and they eat grass.
01:32:26.000 Okay, so an insect can replace, you know, for a chicken, you know, a cicada is like a treat.
01:32:33.000 Oh, man.
01:32:33.000 Oh, yeah.
01:32:34.000 Yeah, they go nuts.
01:32:35.000 They love mealworms, but they're omnivores.
01:32:37.000 They eat grass.
01:32:37.000 They don't eat anything.
01:32:38.000 They literally eat grass.
01:32:41.000 It's funny when you can feed them grass through the wall of the coop, and they're just freaking out trying to get it.
01:32:46.000 Yeah, they love it.
01:32:47.000 They slurp it up.
01:32:47.000 It's like spaghetti.
01:32:48.000 It's become a thing.
01:32:49.000 I never thought... I mean, you know, whatever.
01:32:51.000 I played music, lived in New York, whatever.
01:32:53.000 I never knew that I would have multiple friends who owned chickens.
01:32:56.000 That was not a thing that I expected in my life.
01:32:59.000 Dude, city life is whack.
01:33:01.000 I thought it was like the only way to go for the first half of my life.
01:33:06.000 But communications changed it.
01:33:08.000 Now people can work from home.
01:33:09.000 Now we got satellite internet.
01:33:11.000 So when I was wanting to set up a show, I'm like, we need good internet, so we want to be in a city.
01:33:17.000 It was very difficult to get internet here.
01:33:18.000 It took us like six, seven months, I think.
01:33:21.000 So we're in the middle of nowhere.
01:33:24.000 We had really bad internet.
01:33:27.000 Uh, and then in order to get like a business level internet, we had to... It's really expensive.
01:33:35.000 It's probably like 10 or 20 times the cost of normal internet, or maybe even 30 times the cost of normal internet.
01:33:41.000 I think cities get a bad rap.
01:33:41.000 I don't know.
01:33:44.000 Um, you know, cities get a bad rap these days, especially from, from folks who are, you know, on the right or folks who have kind of recently left cities because, um, Because they used to be really cool.
01:33:56.000 They used to be a lot different.
01:33:58.000 And it was prior to the social media age.
01:34:02.000 It was when, you know, there's something special that happens with a bunch of people, you know, in approximately in the same place.
01:34:12.000 Music.
01:34:13.000 Yeah.
01:34:14.000 Creativity.
01:34:14.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:34:16.000 But it's homogenous.
01:34:18.000 It made everything boring and the same.
01:34:21.000 So it used to not be.
01:34:22.000 Yeah, I know.
01:34:23.000 You know, I often ask people, when was the last... So we have Christmas music every year.
01:34:28.000 When was the last Christmas song written? 1998.
01:34:32.000 90, 94.
01:34:34.000 All I want for Christmas is you.
01:34:35.000 But prior to that, it was what, like 1968?
01:34:39.000 And then 50s.
01:34:40.000 And we still listen to the same songs.
01:34:41.000 It's culture homogenized and then stagnated.
01:34:45.000 So maybe this is good.
01:34:45.000 Maybe, maybe this like city evacuation or whatever is going to result in.
01:34:50.000 Yeah, we need new, we need new cities.
01:34:52.000 We need like tunnels for the traffic so that we can walk around outside without looking around.
01:34:57.000 Getting hit by cars, brake dust.
01:34:59.000 Elon built them like that.
01:35:00.000 We need vertical farms so that we can grow our food within the cities, like on street corners, like entire city blocks dedicated to giant indoor farms.
01:35:08.000 There's no reason why a bunch of cool people can't move to a small town and create what, you know, functionally was everything pretty decent about a city.
01:35:21.000 People gotta move out to West Virginia.
01:35:22.000 No, that'd be so cool.
01:35:23.000 And then make, make, make, we'll call it cool world.
01:35:26.000 I know solar roads aren't super effective because they get dirty.
01:35:30.000 They don't work at all.
01:35:30.000 But, man, there must be a way.
01:35:32.000 There will be a way.
01:35:34.000 No, I think, I remember the solar roads thing, and I think it's just like a child's idea.
01:35:38.000 It's a dream?
01:35:39.000 Like a solar parking lot?
01:35:40.000 They're like, if all the roads are solar panels, then we'll have all this power, and it's like, I don't, I don't, I get it, there's roads and they absorb sunlight, but like, What?
01:35:49.000 Like, you're driving big rigs on these things, they're gonna break.
01:35:52.000 And they're gonna get covered in dirt and snow, and they're not gonna work, and it's gonna refract lights.
01:35:55.000 Yeah, they need to self-clean.
01:35:57.000 It doesn't, but they're gonna crack under the pressure.
01:35:59.000 Maybe, depends on what you make them out of.
01:36:00.000 No, like, just build solar panels.
01:36:03.000 Why, why, like, why not just put the solar panel on the side of the road?
01:36:06.000 Why put the car on top of it?
01:36:08.000 Because it's like pollution.
01:36:09.000 There you go.
01:36:09.000 Honestly, you're right.
01:36:10.000 It's the road itself is already there, but line line the highway with solar panels. Don't make the cars drive on
01:36:16.000 honestly You're right. I'd rather no idea what you guys there was
01:36:19.000 like a viral There's a viral video about solar roads where they were
01:36:22.000 like if we replace all of the roads with solar panels and drive on those instead
01:36:25.000 we'll power the country and it's like The cars are gonna break them. It's it's
01:36:31.000 They're made out of like double reinforced glass so they don't really... They break.
01:36:34.000 That's literally what happened.
01:36:36.000 What literally happened was the cars broke them.
01:36:36.000 No, they can't.
01:36:38.000 Theoretically, they could in the future.
01:36:40.000 They're in prototype stage right now.
01:36:42.000 But I think the road should be underground anyway.
01:36:46.000 The point is, why not just put the solar panels over the road?
01:36:50.000 Yeah.
01:36:50.000 Because it's pollution.
01:36:51.000 What do you mean it's pollution?
01:36:53.000 It's like sight pollution.
01:36:54.000 It pollutes the environment.
01:36:55.000 You can't see past it.
01:36:56.000 Get out of here, dude.
01:36:57.000 It blocks the view.
01:36:58.000 Just do nuclear and you can have a nice beautiful sky.
01:37:02.000 Here's what you do.
01:37:03.000 Tunnels.
01:37:03.000 All roads are covered.
01:37:08.000 With solar panels on top.
01:37:09.000 I also want to put the power lines with screens inside.
01:37:13.000 Yeah.
01:37:14.000 So that when, you know, when you're driving in the tunnel, you can watch TV.
01:37:17.000 You can see what, you know, you can do Twitter.
01:37:19.000 You can do whatever you want.
01:37:21.000 Yeah.
01:37:21.000 We got to, we got to, we got to read these super chats.
01:37:24.000 If you haven't already, you, you can do us a favor by smashing the like button because it really does matter.
01:37:29.000 And, uh, sharing the show and the video with your friends just to help spread the word and maybe have an impact on culture.
01:37:35.000 In a way that will make us a bit more optimistic.
01:37:37.000 And don't forget to go to TimCast.com to become a member.

01:37:51.000 That sounds fun.
01:37:53.000 Make 1984 fiction again.
01:37:55.000 Could there be a sign of optimism?
01:37:59.000 Army ad is currently ratioed 5.5 thumbs up, 133,000 thumbs down.
01:38:08.000 James says Harambee was an inside job.
01:38:11.000 That's a fact.
01:38:13.000 It was a guy who worked for the zoo who shot him.
01:38:16.000 You think the kid was a plant?
01:38:18.000 It was a doll.
01:38:20.000 It was like a crisis actor.
01:38:21.000 Yeah.
01:38:22.000 Remember when the meme about Hillary Clinton?
01:38:22.000 Yeah.
01:38:25.000 Harambe tweeted, I have information that we're looking for Hillary Clinton.
01:38:31.000 Seeking Detroit says, pouring one out for the homie.
01:38:33.000 Rip Harambe.
01:38:34.000 I am a gorilla.
01:38:35.000 I can't believe we messed this up.
01:38:35.000 Much love.
01:38:38.000 We should have made a Harambe shirt.
01:38:40.000 I am Harambe.
01:38:41.000 And it should have had the, you know, year.
01:38:43.000 I think we still can.
01:38:44.000 Yeah.
01:38:45.000 Harambe is eternal.
01:38:45.000 I am Harambe.
01:38:47.000 Harambe is eternal.
01:38:48.000 You can come back next week and do the same show again.
01:38:50.000 We have the I am a gorilla shirt meme.
01:38:52.000 So it was a perfect opportunity for... I wonder if... I gotta say, there's something weird going on with gorillas.
01:38:52.000 Okay.
01:38:59.000 You know what I mean?
01:39:00.000 There's the apes stronger together thing.
01:39:03.000 Apes together strong.
01:39:04.000 Apes together strong.
01:39:05.000 There's this Harambe.
01:39:06.000 There's the Ishmael book.
01:39:09.000 Alex Jones saying I'm a gorilla.
01:39:10.000 Yeah, we got these gorillas here.
01:39:12.000 It's the...
01:39:12.000 What's this?
01:39:14.000 There's all these gorillas.
01:39:14.000 Oh, you have Ishmael right there.
01:39:16.000 Why?
01:39:16.000 I knew of Ishmael.
01:39:17.000 This is my life, Tim.
01:39:18.000 Ooh, look at that.
01:39:19.000 Ishmael, the book.
01:39:20.000 Shout out to the gorilla, Ishmael.
01:39:22.000 There's the psychic gorilla.
01:39:23.000 Have you ever read this book before?
01:39:24.000 No, never.
01:39:24.000 This is where that all came from, the Alex Jones meme.
01:39:27.000 Oh, okay.
01:39:28.000 I'm a gorilla.
01:39:29.000 It's a pretty cool book, actually.
01:39:31.000 I'll bet.
01:39:31.000 All right.
01:39:32.000 Heyosgeogang says, huge fan, Tim.
01:39:35.000 I'm part of the Timcast members only, and I have one question.
01:39:38.000 Is there any way I could get an autograph?
01:39:40.000 So we actually as part of the new site are building an auction system for a variety of reasons.
01:39:45.000 So the live events we wanted to start doing in February and then there's some like legal paperwork stuff that's put us on hiatus.
01:39:53.000 We want to do it soon.
01:39:54.000 What we're going to do is we're going to do 10 first come first serve for everybody who's giving $25.
01:39:58.000 Everyone at the membership level of $25 or more will see a post where it's like boom tickets are now available because we're going to do events every Friday night.
01:40:08.000 So it'll be from like 10 after the show ends to like midnight.
01:40:12.000 And physical events.
01:40:13.000 Physical events here, yep.
01:40:14.000 With like DJs and music.
01:40:15.000 It'll be fun.
01:40:15.000 Wow.
01:40:16.000 And it'll be like 20 to 30 people per week who are allowed to come and hang out.
01:40:20.000 So it's like a happening.
01:40:21.000 Oh yeah.
01:40:22.000 Like in the old days, like a happening.
01:40:23.000 A legit party.
01:40:24.000 Or a hootenanny.
01:40:25.000 A hootenanny, that's right.
01:40:25.000 Yes, yes.
01:40:26.000 And so half the tickets will be first come, first serve.
01:40:29.000 That means there's literally gonna be people like sitting there like refreshing constantly like, I wanna get a ticket, you know.
01:40:34.000 Right, right.
01:40:35.000 But then we're gonna have auction tickets.
01:40:35.000 Cricket bread?
01:40:36.000 So we're trying to balance meritocracy with access.
01:40:39.000 And it's not easy, because there's only a finite amount.
01:40:42.000 But in that, we're gonna be able to auction off stuff.
01:40:44.000 Autographed shirts, posters, et cetera.
01:40:48.000 And then people, when they come to the live events, we're gonna taste Ian's amazing bread.
01:40:52.000 Oh, it's gonna be good.
01:40:53.000 We're actually gonna make some cricket bread, I think.
01:40:56.000 That's on the horizon.
01:40:57.000 We have a bag of cricket flour.
01:41:00.000 So, um, there's no gluten in it.
01:41:01.000 Which means we're gonna need to probably mix it with regular flour.
01:41:04.000 And then we're gonna make a... Tomorrow we'll film it.
01:41:06.000 We'll make cricket bread.
01:41:06.000 I'm excited.
01:41:07.000 Okay.
01:41:07.000 Cricket bread.
01:41:08.000 I'm sure it's delicious.
01:41:10.000 I got no problem eating bugs.
01:41:12.000 Alright, let's see.
01:41:13.000 What do we got here?
01:41:13.000 Where are we at?
01:41:15.000 PNW Paranormal- Paranormalish says, Super serious question, Timcast Crew, does anyone play World of Warcraft Classic?
01:41:23.000 If so, what do you think the best race-class combo is, and why is it Trollmage?
01:41:28.000 You're incorrect, good sir.
01:41:30.000 Night Elf Druid.
01:41:31.000 Night Elf Druid?
01:41:33.000 I mean, Druids are legit.
01:41:34.000 I'm always down for Rogue.
01:41:36.000 Rogue does so much damage.
01:41:37.000 You know why I like Human Rogue is because in Classic you have the perception.
01:41:42.000 So it's easier to see other rogues.
01:41:45.000 And I like, I like Alteric Valley.
01:41:47.000 I always liked Shadowmeld because you can get up and go to the bathroom and just like, you know, stealth for a little while.
01:41:53.000 Yeah, Shadowmeld's great.
01:41:54.000 To answer your question, yes.
01:41:55.000 Tim and I were actually playing a couple years ago.
01:41:57.000 You wanna know what's really crazy?
01:41:59.000 So I started playing World of Warcraft, I think in like 2005, like legit OG.
01:42:03.000 And so I remember in the early days, this is what, 15 years ago?
01:42:08.000 Alteric Valley.
01:42:09.000 When you're playing as either faction, really, I would play as Alliance, and everyone would be like, no, the Horde's better, whatever, man.
01:42:17.000 So, the Alliance towers in Aldrich Valley, there's, as a rogue, I would just hide behind the wall.
01:42:25.000 And then I would sneak up, it's basically capture the flag.
01:42:28.000 The enemy team comes and then they click the flag and then there's a timer, it's like 10 seconds.
01:42:33.000 If they are untouched for 10 seconds, the flag switches teams.
01:42:37.000 If they can hold that for a certain amount of time, they destroy the tower.
01:42:41.000 The rogues are effectively invisible.
01:42:43.000 It's called stealth.
01:42:44.000 You can't see them, right?
01:42:45.000 So 15 years ago, I'm playing, and that was my strategy.
01:42:48.000 I would hide, and I'm very smart, and I just wait.
01:42:51.000 And they would be sitting there thinking they've won, and at the very last second, I would switch it back, erasing all their progress, right?
01:42:57.000 World of Warcraft Classic comes out, and I'm like, I wonder if the same strategy still works on these people, you know, 15 years later.
01:43:06.000 People never change.
01:43:07.000 people never change.
01:43:08.000 It's amazing.
01:43:09.000 I'm like, you'd think you'd learn if you're playing.
01:43:10.000 But you know what it is?
01:43:12.000 A lot of these people probably came back to the game from the same old...
01:43:15.000 I had played Worlds of Draenor, I played Legion, and I played a little bit of Shadowlands.
01:43:22.000 And so I'm like, I'm used to the game.
01:43:24.000 So going back to Classic, I'm familiar with the game and these people keep falling for
01:43:28.000 the same tricks, man.
01:43:29.000 It's the same thing about people setting their cups on the ground.
01:43:31.000 I think they've been doing it for tens of thousands of years.
01:43:33.000 They just keep kicking over those cups.
01:43:35.000 You just gotta put your cup up on a table.
01:43:37.000 Don't set it on the ground.
01:43:39.000 Humans do human stuff, man.
01:43:41.000 They do.
01:43:42.000 It's human behavior.
01:43:43.000 It's a real thing.
01:43:44.000 Yeah.
01:43:45.000 Anyway, let's read Super Chats.
01:43:48.000 Name Changer says, hi, I'm Common Sense, a level four biolab that studies coronaviruses one mile away from the epicenter of the pandemic, and Democrats accept the Chinese said it's not relevant.
01:43:58.000 I knew this a year ago.
01:43:59.000 Why now are you accepting it, morons, not Tim and friends?
01:44:03.000 So like I said, I got a question.
01:44:06.000 I'll make the one point real quick.
01:44:07.000 If you have a biolab and an open wet market, and they're like, where did the virus come from?
01:44:12.000 I'll be like, this one's got no security.
01:44:14.000 The simple solution is the no security one.
01:44:17.000 You add in all the new information and the reports that they never released, changes the narrative.
01:44:21.000 Sure.
01:44:22.000 Let me ask, a few weeks ago when we saw the kind of first negative stories about Bill Gates coming out.
01:44:30.000 Which stories?
01:44:31.000 In regards to the divorce.
01:44:33.000 And then you were like, OK, he's you know, he's engaged in this bad behavior.
01:44:37.000 All of a sudden, you know, Bill Gates for the first time was kicked down a peg.
01:44:37.000 He's done this and that.
01:44:45.000 I'm thinking, like, was this part of... Look, they knew that they were going to roll this out.
01:44:50.000 This didn't roll out immediately just like that.
01:44:52.000 Like the story?
01:44:53.000 This particular story.
01:44:54.000 This particular story is, like, what, three days old?
01:44:58.000 I mean... Like, little brick by brick by brick by brick getting to Fauci.
01:45:02.000 Yeah, and then Fauci comes out and says, well, you know... Right.
01:45:04.000 So we're talking almost a week now where this story has been softened.
01:45:09.000 to where you can talk about it.
01:45:11.000 And this is what's what's going on.
01:45:12.000 I mean, this this you know, it's a it's a it's an info op.
01:45:16.000 You know, when you when you stagger the stories like this, knowing that you're going to get this result.
01:45:20.000 So I'm I'm wondering what the next shoe to drop will be.
01:45:23.000 Number one.
01:45:24.000 Number two is I'm wondering, does the let's say demystification of of Bill Gates have anything to do prior to this thing have anything to do with it?
01:45:36.000 It all leads to Xi Jinping transforming into some kind of mutant demon zombie because... Like Voltron?
01:45:44.000 Yeah, like Voltron?
01:45:47.000 One guy will join his right arm, the other guy will come in his left arm.
01:45:50.000 Zombie Voltron!
01:45:52.000 COVID-21, what's happening?
01:45:52.000 Oh no!
01:45:53.000 He's too big!
01:45:58.000 I think it's the same thing with where Hillary railroaded Bernie Sanders in 2016. It was so
01:46:04.000 obvious, but the media like just was like, people were just like, drool coming down. And it was the
01:46:10.000 same way with this this bio lab thing. I think it was obvious to every sentient. It just seemed like
01:46:16.000 common sense. Right. And And it was just a matter of time.
01:46:20.000 I wonder why now it's falling apart.
01:46:22.000 Maybe it's because this thing is basically over.
01:46:25.000 I mean, I saw probably I saw a friend of mine tweeting a photo from a lower Manhattan, you know, clothing store.
01:46:35.000 No mask.
01:46:36.000 Like, OK, you know what?
01:46:37.000 This thing is over.
01:46:38.000 Yep.
01:46:38.000 You know, if in lower Manhattan, you're walking around with that shopping without a mask.
01:46:43.000 This thing is over.
01:46:43.000 So maybe now we're just sort of in the mop up.
01:46:46.000 Yeah.
01:46:47.000 We got green doors.
01:46:47.000 All right.
01:46:48.000 Please discuss U.S.
01:46:49.000 farmers being offered money to destroy their crops or be refused farming subsidies if they refuse.
01:46:54.000 So this is called fallowing a field and it's been around forever.
01:46:58.000 Old story.
01:46:58.000 Yeah.
01:46:59.000 So there's rumors going around where people are like, the government's telling us we have to shut down our farms.
01:46:59.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:47:05.000 Otherwise we don't get our subsidies.
01:47:07.000 So then we're broke.
01:47:09.000 So people think there's going to be a food shortage.
01:47:11.000 Why are they doing it exactly?
01:47:12.000 They're being paid to not grow crops?
01:47:14.000 Yeah, I interviewed a bunch of farmers about this.
01:47:17.000 I can't remember all the details, though.
01:47:18.000 It was years ago.
01:47:21.000 So they'll rotate, where the government will say, we'll pay you whatever you would have made to not grow crops.
01:47:26.000 Is that just to limit the supply?
01:47:28.000 To keep the cost up or something?
01:47:30.000 I think basically that's the main idea.
01:47:33.000 I don't know the details either.
01:47:36.000 Rampton says Michael Knoll's book on pre-order or whatever.
01:47:40.000 Oh yeah, Michael Knoll's book Speechless is for pre-order.
01:47:42.000 No, no, no, but you see it, they're just getting lower and lower effort.
01:47:44.000 Come on, man.
01:47:47.000 I demand high quality.
01:47:50.000 All right.
01:47:50.000 Jay Neighbour says, hello, Timcast has now been heard throughout the continental United States.
01:47:54.000 Unfortunately, it is all by one fat and now apparently old truck driver from Dubuque.
01:48:00.000 Old.
01:48:01.000 Thanks.
01:48:01.000 Truth hurts, Tim.
01:48:02.000 Thought you would like to know.
01:48:04.000 We actually had someone, I mentioned that, like the people who watch, listen, it's like a regular guy, it's like a truck driver, a fat truck driver driving through Dubuque or something, or from Dubuque.
01:48:12.000 And then some guy was like, hey, that's me.
01:48:13.000 Wow.
01:48:15.000 That's crazy.
01:48:16.000 I love our reach.
01:48:18.000 The Throne says, you don't need to regulate Big Tech, just enforce the existing rules.
01:48:22.000 The private ownership argument doesn't hold up when you look at the decision of Alabama v. Marsh from the U.S.
01:48:27.000 Supreme Court.
01:48:27.000 All right, well, there you go.
01:48:32.000 The One Free Man says, COVID, rockets falling from the sky, the Uyghurs.
01:48:36.000 China has proven to be incompetent and irresponsible.
01:48:39.000 The lies we tell incur a debt to the truth.
01:48:42.000 The debt will always come due.
01:48:44.000 COVID was China's Chernobyl.
01:48:46.000 Yikes.
01:48:47.000 Yeah, the rocket falling from the sky.
01:48:48.000 Remember that?
01:48:48.000 They're like, it might land on New York!
01:48:51.000 Oh, wow.
01:48:51.000 Yeah, I don't want to live in there.
01:48:52.000 I mean... Someone you may know says, Tim, developers create public spaces because many municipalities have set a maximum floor space a building can have.
01:49:03.000 However, you can exceed that maximum by how much public space you create.
01:49:06.000 Really?
01:49:07.000 Yes, tax incentives also apply.
01:49:08.000 There you go.
01:49:09.000 Good to know.
01:49:10.000 Good to know.
01:49:10.000 That's right.
01:49:12.000 So that, I mean, that concept though, or our understanding of the rules around that comes from the company town.
01:49:21.000 You know, in the Wild West and then, you know, and elsewhere in the country when you've got a town... The corporation would make... The corporation basically owns a town.
01:49:27.000 Do you have any rights there?
01:49:29.000 Is the company, um, you know, is... Can the company call all the shots in a place?
01:49:36.000 Those still exist, like at the frack fields in, I think, North Dakota.
01:49:39.000 Sure.
01:49:39.000 They, like, build a city for the employees.
01:49:41.000 It's crazy.
01:49:42.000 Yeah.
01:49:42.000 Wow.
01:49:43.000 And in Alaska too.
01:49:44.000 I had a friend who worked in Alaska and there's like a town that exists just for one company.
01:49:49.000 And like there's one big communist looking like block house.
01:49:52.000 Because they're not going to build a bunch of houses.
01:49:54.000 They need to house their employees.
01:49:56.000 And there's like one store.
01:49:57.000 It's kind of cool.
01:49:59.000 Antarctica sounds pretty fun.
01:50:00.000 There's like 10 people there or something in the winter.
01:50:02.000 Sounds good.
01:50:04.000 Jimmy Russell says, Tim, I think the libertarian position on private company speech relies on enforcing 230.
01:50:09.000 The moment someone is censored, the company should lose its 230 protection, becoming legally liable for all speech on the service.
01:50:16.000 But that's regulation.
01:50:17.000 Libertarians are like, nah.
01:50:19.000 Also, you've got to define censorship because if I look at your post and allow it, I'm still censoring you.
01:50:24.000 I'm acting as the censor saying yes or no.
01:50:27.000 You don't have to shut it down in order for it to be censorship.
01:50:30.000 You can also allow it.
01:50:31.000 Doug Phelps says, Tim, you are generalizing 800,000 cops.
01:50:35.000 There are bad cops and bad leadership.
01:50:37.000 Stop painting cops as bad, or all we will have are bad cops.
01:50:41.000 Right, and as I've pointed out, I defended the police all throughout the last year until the people voted in the system and the good cops quit, or I should say many of the good cops quit, and then the ones who remained are willing to lick the feet of Bill de Blasio and Whitmer and other corrupt politicians, so I'm not going to call them good cops.
01:50:57.000 They have a choice to leave.
01:50:58.000 You know what needs to happen?
01:51:00.000 Ron DeSantis and, you know, maybe Greg Abbott, some other guys,
01:51:05.000 should get together and say, OK, we will go and we will buy out your contracts if you're
01:51:10.000 a cop, if you're a good cop, in a blue state or a blue city.
01:51:14.000 Kristi Noem's doing this.
01:51:15.000 And bring them in.
01:51:16.000 South Dakota is recruiting.
01:51:16.000 Really?
01:51:18.000 I think they're doing this on purpose.
01:51:20.000 Recruiting the cops who are quitting to come to South Dakota where they're not.
01:51:20.000 I think that's them, yeah.
01:51:23.000 Oh, what a good idea.
01:51:24.000 Yeah.
01:51:24.000 That's a great idea.
01:51:25.000 I thought you were going to say, like, Rhonda Sanders and Abbott should combine their power rings together and then, you know, wonder governor's powers activate.
01:51:31.000 It would be the sequel, right?
01:51:32.000 It would be.
01:51:33.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:51:33.000 I mean, it would.
01:51:34.000 So, Xi Jinping becomes communist Voltron and then Abbott and Ken Pax, I don't know, Abbott and Sanders combine their rings together.
01:51:41.000 Yes.
01:51:42.000 Yes.
01:51:43.000 And then activate their powers?
01:51:44.000 Mm-hmm.
01:51:45.000 Wonder Governor's powers activates.
01:51:47.000 We could make a contiguous, you know, landmass between the two.
01:51:52.000 And we'd get New Orleans.
01:51:53.000 One giant...
01:51:58.000 Jacob Dahlbenspeck says, wait, if we're in the prequels, does that mean that Joe Biden is Jar Jar?
01:52:03.000 Only if Jar Jar is secretly a Sith Lord.
01:52:05.000 Oh, I've heard the conspiracy theory.
01:52:08.000 Jar Jar was a Sith.
01:52:09.000 He was the real villain of the movie.
01:52:11.000 I crack a Star Wars joke and then everything just goes right over my head.
01:52:16.000 Everybody knows that Star Wars is just anti-Empire propaganda.
01:52:20.000 Like they call, like these leftists call the U.S.
01:52:20.000 True.
01:52:20.000 That's true.
01:52:23.000 the empire and the imperialists.
01:52:25.000 Like the empire never, I bet the empire didn't even really call itself the empire.
01:52:29.000 Oh, good point.
01:52:30.000 Yeah.
01:52:31.000 It was probably called like United States of America.
01:52:33.000 We don't even, do we even know the name of it?
01:52:35.000 It's the empire.
01:52:36.000 No, no, no, but what they called it themselves.
01:52:39.000 The Empire.
01:52:40.000 Like, I'm just kidding.
01:52:41.000 Like, Vader is like, literally, MY NEW EMPIRE.
01:52:44.000 It was the Republic and then it became the Empire.
01:52:46.000 It's basically Rome.
01:52:47.000 It's supposed to be Rome in the movie, I think.
01:52:50.000 I'd like to see a series that is, like, not propaganda against the, uh...
01:52:55.000 The elites.
01:52:57.000 Yeah.
01:52:57.000 We need to take care of those people.
01:52:58.000 There's some really interesting fan writings about the Jedi being ineffective, authoritarian, and religious zealots.
01:53:06.000 Imposing their will with force.
01:53:09.000 Like literally the force against people who disagree with them.
01:53:12.000 Intervening in political affairs.
01:53:13.000 Oh yeah, a lot of people have written this.
01:53:14.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:53:15.000 Yeah, so you think about the first movie with the Trade Federation and Naboo.
01:53:20.000 Why were two knights with laser swords sent in For a negotiation between a trade dispute.
01:53:28.000 So it's like that's that's and so that's actually a part of the movie.
01:53:30.000 I recently watched the first one again.
01:53:32.000 And when the Trade Federation is like their Jedi were sent here like what why?
01:53:36.000 Yeah, what seriously imagine if someone sent like two high-ranking like you know like SEAL Team 6 were sent in to negotiate a trade dispute with some countries.
01:53:45.000 They'd be like, uh, what do you what is really weird?
01:53:48.000 Yeah, the Jedi were nuts man.
01:53:50.000 They're religious zealots.
01:53:52.000 I wish we should make that short film.
01:53:54.000 Yeah, so it'd be like it'd be like yeah Vader is a disabled veteran war hero
01:53:58.000 so it'd be like if the US government was negotiating a trade contract with Google and then like
01:54:02.000 Mi6 showed up a couple of like no no no it would be like if there was a port blockade in in Greece because a
01:54:12.000 like Chinese vessel was trying to negotiate a trade deal so the US
01:54:18.000 sends in SEAL Team 6 to negotiate peace.
01:54:22.000 They'd be like, nah.
01:54:24.000 That's what it was.
01:54:25.000 That's what happened.
01:54:26.000 And then that actually triggered the conflict.
01:54:28.000 They're like, you know, then Sidious is like, kill them.
01:54:31.000 They should never have been involved.
01:54:32.000 You know, so they should have been involved, man.
01:54:36.000 Chris Pavotto says, Since Tim keeps saying he'll never run for an official office position, why not use this platform and reach to Reform Section 230?
01:54:43.000 There are several guests and supports to give input.
01:54:47.000 Then submit the papers to Congress.
01:54:49.000 I mean, we do talk about it a lot.
01:54:50.000 We do invite people on to talk about it.
01:54:53.000 Didn't we just say Congress and the federal government is a dead end?
01:54:57.000 Local politics.
01:54:58.000 Yeah, you gotta go local.
01:54:58.000 Yep.
01:55:00.000 One by one, the states will start adopting the law.
01:55:02.000 Then eventually, it'll be a huge conflict.
01:55:03.000 It'll go to the Supreme Court, and then you'll get your answer.
01:55:08.000 Not that I trust the Supreme Court, to be honest.
01:55:10.000 Do you see that video of Clarence Thomas laughing?
01:55:12.000 Oh, the best laugh.
01:55:14.000 What a laugh.
01:55:14.000 Yeah.
01:55:15.000 Classic.
01:55:16.000 I like the meme where it's like, you know the meme where the woman says, men only want one thing is disgusting?
01:55:21.000 Yeah.
01:55:21.000 And then someone put the image of, it's the Supreme Court, but everyone is Clarence Thomas.
01:55:25.000 Yes.
01:55:27.000 Correct.
01:55:28.000 Yeah.
01:55:29.000 Ben D says, I agree with David.
01:55:30.000 We are in the prequel.
01:55:32.000 We just passed when Natalie Portman says, this is how liberty dies, to thunderous applause.
01:55:36.000 People are cheering for the system burning.
01:55:37.000 Yep.
01:55:39.000 Yes.
01:55:40.000 That's sad.
01:55:41.000 Well, it was a good run, I guess.
01:55:43.000 No, I think it was like 1900s when things got real bad.
01:55:46.000 You know, the good thing is states, United States, the state's rights and the power of the state, because no federal prohibition has ever really worked that I can tell.
01:55:55.000 They tried to prohibit alcohol.
01:55:56.000 They tried to prohibit weed.
01:55:57.000 If they try to prohibit guns, the states are just going to say F you and do what they want anyway.
01:56:03.000 I like that.
01:56:03.000 Well, no, I mean, because traditionally, the states, I mean, would that if they did?
01:56:09.000 I mean, traditionally, the states end up buckling because they're all taking money from the federal government in some way.
01:56:16.000 You know, I mean, the states don't want to be responsible for, you know, just a lot of the stuff that the federal government pays for.
01:56:23.000 And this is how and this is how they you know, this is how they get this other federal government.
01:56:23.000 Yeah.
01:56:28.000 So the left gets everything they want in the states.
01:56:32.000 Federal funny money.
01:56:33.000 Yeah.
01:56:34.000 What's happening now is, before the pandemic, the blue states were in serious trouble.
01:56:39.000 Now they're all getting bailed out because of COVID, and now they have a surplus.
01:56:43.000 All right, Aaron Molinauer says, enjoy your show and your guests rock.
01:56:47.000 Aaron Molinauer for president 2024, a common man for uncommon times.
01:56:52.000 Together we will win back America.
01:56:53.000 For Ian and America, I will order an audit of the Fed.
01:56:56.000 I will mandate constitutional studies in all public schools.
01:57:00.000 I like that.
01:57:00.000 It's a good platform.
01:57:02.000 Yes.
01:57:04.000 Audit the Fed.
01:57:05.000 Jerome Morrow says, Ian's been too calm tonight.
01:57:08.000 What do you think about getting rid of the Federal Reserve and then replacing gold with graphene as the global reserve medium?
01:57:13.000 Interesting concept.
01:57:14.000 Wow.
01:57:15.000 Yeah.
01:57:15.000 Graphene's scarce.
01:57:16.000 And it could be that we bypass the money system completely and just have a resource-based economy that's based on electricity and resource.
01:57:26.000 What does that mean?
01:57:27.000 Graphene.
01:57:27.000 What's a resource-based economy?
01:57:29.000 Where you use, you know, I mean, you would need a total retrofit of the economy.
01:57:34.000 You'd need fusion power to electronic food.
01:57:37.000 What is a resource-based economy?
01:57:38.000 Like, you use electricity as your main resource to atomically print water and food.
01:57:44.000 But what do you mean?
01:57:45.000 I don't understand.
01:57:45.000 Locally.
01:57:46.000 But we can do that.
01:57:48.000 Can?
01:57:49.000 I agree.
01:57:49.000 So what's our economy based off of then?
01:57:51.000 Discurrent economy?
01:57:52.000 Yeah.
01:57:53.000 Fiat?
01:57:55.000 So, wait.
01:57:56.000 So, I don't understand what you're saying.
01:57:58.000 Fiat means faith.
01:57:58.000 It's faith-based economy.
01:57:59.000 You print as much money as you want and pass it around in that economy.
01:58:02.000 So you're saying people would generate electricity and then what, trade batteries?
01:58:05.000 No, you would trade electricity.
01:58:07.000 Yeah, yeah, you could charge each other's batteries and stuff like that.
01:58:09.000 So how would you quantify the electricity?
01:58:12.000 I guess you could measure it.
01:58:13.000 So then you'd trade what, like amp hours?
01:58:15.000 Yeah, probably.
01:58:16.000 So you'd call like what, an amp?
01:58:18.000 So you'd have a bank account with, like, 10 amps in it?
01:58:20.000 Yeah, you'd have a battery.
01:58:21.000 You'd have a battery.
01:58:22.000 There would be no more need for banks.
01:58:24.000 You'd just have batteries that are charged or discharged.
01:58:27.000 So you could make your own energy?
01:58:29.000 I think so.
01:58:29.000 You could, like, ride a bike and then generate power?
01:58:32.000 Right, right.
01:58:33.000 That leaves individual power, because you don't want the state to, like, be charging everyone's batteries for them.
01:58:37.000 You want the individual to be able to power the neighborhood.
01:58:38.000 That's a very private thing.
01:58:39.000 No, that's kind of cool, though.
01:58:40.000 You don't come behind it.
01:58:41.000 Imagine if it was, like, based on energy.
01:58:44.000 You could literally ride a bike for an hour, charge a battery, then go to the store and click it in, and then transfer your energy to the grid, and then get an apple for it.
01:58:50.000 You'd be like, I love that guy!
01:58:51.000 He rides his bike eight hours a day and powers my house.
01:58:56.000 Everyone loves that guy because he does all the work.
01:58:58.000 Nobody would say that.
01:58:59.000 But you could.
01:58:59.000 You'd walk up and you go to your friend's house and be like, you got some sugar I can borrow here?
01:59:02.000 And you click your battery in and send up some of your power or whatever.
01:59:05.000 Or it would probably be an app and it would transfer from your storage in your house to the grid.
01:59:08.000 You could go to someone's house, use your battery to power their atomic printer to get food at their house.
01:59:13.000 Wow.
01:59:14.000 Imagine if you could get like a solar panel on your house, which generates so much power, it put money back in the grid and they gave you money instead.
01:59:21.000 That's literally how it works.
01:59:23.000 Yeah.
01:59:23.000 I don't like money.
01:59:25.000 Well, money is just a number for a trade medium.
01:59:27.000 I don't like relying on money, I guess I should say.
01:59:29.000 Can you imagine the depravity?
01:59:33.000 The societal depravity that would accompany all of these different things, you know, by the time society got to, you know, by the time civilization got to the point where we're doing this and we're, you know, you know, trading energy, you know, on on on thumb drives as you know, for food, you know, I mean, just imagine the depravity.
01:59:52.000 Imagine the state of humanity.
01:59:53.000 I constantly think about how we can transition without a fallout, without like losing a quarter of the population to poverty or to Well, look, you know, the way the woke stuff is going, all of the high tech stuff is not going to be, you know, possible.
02:00:14.000 It's just not going to be possible.
02:00:16.000 You know, I mean, I think I think the plan needs to be, hey, let's force Harvard to hire, you know, only, you know, only people of color.
02:00:26.000 Force them to do it.
02:00:27.000 Force them to do it.
02:00:29.000 It's racial justice.
02:00:31.000 The Fed is getting woke and I'm here for it.
02:00:33.000 Yeah.
02:00:33.000 Get woke, go broke.
02:00:35.000 Yes.
02:00:36.000 Alright, here we go.
02:00:36.000 Enjoy Coca-Cola Light says, Star Wars was written by the victors of wars.
02:00:41.000 Of course Vader is depicted as some evil madman.
02:00:43.000 Consider the story told by the Empire, coming out as the victors.
02:00:46.000 That's right.
02:00:48.000 That's absolutely right.
02:00:49.000 His armor looked way cooler than that all black thing.
02:00:52.000 We should write it.
02:00:52.000 We should make it.
02:00:54.000 Like the real events?
02:00:55.000 Yeah, the real history of Star Wars.
02:00:59.000 Vader's like trying to convince people.
02:01:00.000 And Vader won't be like this big looming demonic figure.
02:01:03.000 Yeah, he's like 5'9".
02:01:05.000 Yeah, he's like 5'9".
02:01:06.000 And he's got some cyber components.
02:01:08.000 Like six kids.
02:01:09.000 He's a really good father.
02:01:10.000 And he's not going...
02:01:11.000 No, no, no.
02:01:11.000 He has his two kids.
02:01:12.000 He has Luke and they're kidnapped by religious extremists.
02:01:16.000 Oh, wow.
02:01:17.000 Yeah, he's a war hero.
02:01:18.000 His aunt and uncle were like religious extremists.
02:01:21.000 Yep.
02:01:21.000 They weren't really his aunt and uncle.
02:01:22.000 No, no.
02:01:22.000 He escaped the religious extremism and went and, you know, and got to learn and then realized they were corrupt, you know, religious extremists.
02:01:31.000 And he has like, he struggles to breathe, you know, he's got like a breathing machine.
02:01:34.000 People like him and he's really nice.
02:01:36.000 Your mother did this to me.
02:01:38.000 Yeah. Yeah. See, it's all propaganda. We should make it. We'll make like a 10 minute short film.
02:01:42.000 It could be a good 10 minute short film.
02:01:45.000 It wouldn't be called The Empire. It would be called like the Galactic Federation.
02:01:49.000 And it would be like people from a desert planet taking a cargo ship and blowing up a military
02:01:54.000 base. And you'd see like the families crying.
02:01:58.000 And then you'd have the Emperor who was disfigured from an assassination attempt when the Jedi tried to kill him.
02:02:04.000 And he's like, we lost 1,372,000 lives that day when religious extremists blew up a military base.
02:02:11.000 And they were building hospitals and things.
02:02:14.000 Yep.
02:02:15.000 That's right.
02:02:16.000 Yeah, we should totally do it.
02:02:18.000 All right, let's see.
02:02:19.000 We'll do a couple more.
02:02:22.000 Clifton Stocks says, West Virginia pays and work for Tim Pool.
02:02:25.000 What positions are available?
02:02:26.000 We're doing commissions for mini-docs, which is contract work.
02:02:30.000 We're looking for journalists, and we've gotten a lot of submissions, and, you know, with all due respect, the ones we've been through, it's just, like, we need actual journalists with experience, and it's not particularly easy.
02:02:44.000 It's, you know, we're trying to quality control and get the best of the best, so it's very difficult.
02:02:47.000 We need a AV tech full-time for setting up new shows.
02:02:52.000 We're gonna be setting up like a gaming lab and the Paranormal Show and stuff like that.
02:02:56.000 We need camera operators full-time.
02:03:00.000 And, uh, yeah.
02:03:01.000 Along with those skill requirements, if you are interested in sending a resume or something, make sure you send actual samples of work.
02:03:08.000 I don't really care all that much about resumes.
02:03:10.000 And if you, you know, skate, scoot, bike, Blade, whatever, pogo stick, those are all big advantages.
02:03:18.000 And we're also, if someone has a drone pilot's license, camera operator with a drone pilot license, absolutely, we are looking for that too.
02:03:26.000 And they're all on location jobs in the Maryland, West Virginia area.
02:03:32.000 There you go.
02:03:33.000 Pioneer Smokehouse says, Ian, money is just a means of bridging the gaps between wants and needs.
02:03:39.000 It's true, until you can print as much of it as you want, and then it becomes a weapon.
02:03:44.000 As well.
02:03:45.000 Blip Squeaks says, I'm disappointed you didn't seize the opportunity to leave Ian's picture for the whole night.
02:03:50.000 It was hysterical when you switched.
02:03:51.000 Can we show that one more time?
02:03:52.000 Is that still up?
02:03:53.000 Oh, hold on.
02:03:53.000 Let me see.
02:03:54.000 Sorry.
02:03:54.000 Let me move over to that.
02:03:55.000 Yep.
02:03:55.000 It's still there.
02:03:56.000 Thank you, Lydia.
02:03:56.000 That's so weird.
02:03:58.000 There's Ian.
02:03:59.000 He looks very noble.
02:04:00.000 That's a crazy image.
02:04:00.000 Hi, everyone.
02:04:02.000 I haven't seen it yet.
02:04:03.000 So weird.
02:04:03.000 I'll show it to you after.
02:04:05.000 It's hilarious.
02:04:05.000 How does that happen?
02:04:06.000 It's so funny.
02:04:07.000 All right, everybody.

02:05:15.000 I think Will of the People will finally be on iTunes and Spotify.
02:05:18.000 Excellent.
02:05:19.000 That's awesome.
02:05:20.000 Maybe in like a week.
02:05:21.000 And then I am in the corner pushing buttons as always.
02:05:23.000 You guys are more than welcome to follow me on Twitter.
02:05:25.000 I am at Sour Patch Lids and I am trying to outpace Sour Patch Kids for followers.
02:05:31.000 It's a challenge.
02:05:31.000 I'm hoping to get there soon.
02:05:33.000 Make sure you check out youtube.com slash castcastle because we're going to have a vlog up tomorrow where we're setting up the new 3D printers.
02:05:41.000 Today, Andreas was working on, was it PETG?
02:05:43.000 Is that what it's called?
02:05:44.000 Polyethylene tetra glycol?
02:05:46.000 I think.
02:05:46.000 Okay.
02:05:46.000 Something like that.
02:05:47.000 I think so.
02:05:47.000 I don't know.
02:05:48.000 And it's like a, it's printing amazingly.
02:05:50.000 That's awesome.
02:05:50.000 I'm impressed.
02:05:50.000 The ABS was warping.
02:05:52.000 PLA is way too weak.
02:05:53.000 We tried carbon fiber, but the extruder is too low of temperature.
02:05:57.000 Cause you know, like 290.
02:05:58.000 Okay.
02:05:58.000 And we were working at like 250, but it was working until the plate was too cold and it popped off.
02:06:03.000 So we're very disappointed.
02:06:04.000 It looks cool.
02:06:05.000 We got a CNC machine too.
02:06:06.000 Excellent.
