Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Nicki Minaj DOXXES Journalists Over Lies, Journos Lose Their Minds w-Matt Palumbo

00:00:00.000 Peace out yo!

00:00:13.000 She's arguing with journalists.

00:00:14.000 They're trying to get information on her family.

00:00:16.000 So she published the private details of, I think, two journalists.

00:00:20.000 I've only seen one.

00:00:21.000 She posted some guy's business card with his email and phone number on it.

00:00:25.000 And now these journalists online are like...

00:00:28.000 Who does she think she is? 1.00

00:00:30.000 We're journalists.

00:00:31.000 Journalists are better than you. 1.00

00:00:33.000 And I'm just laughing the whole time because these journalists are egotistical scumbags for the most part. 1.00

00:00:37.000 And so they're whining and crying. 0.99

00:00:38.000 So you know what?

00:00:39.000 I'm not going to shed a tear for any of these people.

00:00:40.000 They lie about Nicki Minaj. 0.96

00:00:42.000 They go on CNN and claim she's scared of vaccines because of swollen balls, which is not what she said. 0.85

00:00:48.000 They don't give you the nuance and the actual context. 0.96

00:00:51.000 They just want to make fun of people.

00:00:53.000 They just want to smear them and make rage bait. 0.95

00:00:56.000 Nikki is waking up to this, or maybe she already knew, and maybe she's finally speaking up.

00:01:01.000 But she actually said to like one, one woman, like she called her, uh, I don't even know if I'll wait.

00:01:08.000 YouTube has a rule on swearing in the first 30 seconds.

00:01:10.000 So we'll read what she said about this journalist.

00:01:14.000 And she was like, basically saying I'm coming for you, but in a more aggressive way and called her.

00:01:21.000 A female dog.

00:01:22.000 So you know where that went.

00:01:23.000 And I'm, you know what?

00:01:25.000 I don't like name-calling.

00:01:28.000 I don't like escalation of conflict.

00:01:31.000 But it's also kind of a, there is this cathartic release seeing these journalists, you know, they're trying to go up against somebody who's one of the most famous individuals on the planet.

00:01:40.000 Lie about her, insult her, deride her, and she's like, she's got weight to throw around. 1.00

00:01:45.000 So this is interesting.

00:01:47.000 Is Nicki Minaj the hero we need to challenge the authoritarianism?

00:01:51.000 She came out and said the U.S.

00:01:52.000 is becoming like communist China, and now this?

00:01:55.000 Wow.

00:01:55.000 We got a bunch of other stories, though.

00:01:56.000 There's one really interesting story that I talked about on my main channel, which is there's an article in The Atlantic where this historian says he predicts a civil war and the Trump supporters will win.

00:02:07.000 Now that I found really interesting.

00:02:08.000 He says, ultimately, an authoritarian, regressive, reactionary, you know, political system can't survive.

00:02:14.000 And I'm like, what does that mean?

00:02:16.000 It'll last 20 years, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90?

00:02:18.000 Yeah, eventually systems collapse.

00:02:20.000 I get it.

00:02:21.000 But bro came out and said, there's going to be a civil war and Trump supporters are going to win.

00:02:25.000 He said he thinks it might start with the indictment of Donald Trump.

00:02:28.000 That would be the crossing of the Rubicon.

00:02:30.000 And there's a lot to consider there.

00:02:31.000 Because ultimately I think the difference between ancient Rome and now is that The Trump supporters are the people who are just like, peaceful divorce, take your state and go.

00:02:40.000 We don't care.

00:02:41.000 They don't want to take control of it.

00:02:42.000 So we'll get into all this stuff.

00:02:44.000 We're being joined by Matt Palumbo.

00:02:46.000 You want to introduce yourself?

00:02:47.000 Yeah, Matt.

00:02:48.000 I don't know what else to say besides I'm today's guest.

00:02:51.000 I run a website.

00:02:53.000 It was some guy outside?

00:02:54.000 Some guy from the street that Tim found who was kind enough to invite me in.

00:02:58.000 No, no, I'm here to talk about a new book I have out about George Soros, or is coming out, I should say.

00:03:02.000 And I run Dan Bongino's news aggregator, Bonginoreport.com, which is our competitor to The George Report, which, as everyone here knows, kind of blows.

00:03:10.000 Yeah, it used to be good.

00:03:12.000 I mean, 20 years ago.

00:03:13.000 I mean, the problem, too, is the site never really advanced.

00:03:16.000 In fact, there was an article on The Onion, like 10 years ago, a Drudge report, and it was like, exclusive report, Drudge has actually been hacked for the past 20 years. 0.97

00:03:25.000 They're trying to make the site look like shit. 0.56

00:03:27.000 And, you know, so there is, you know, A, that the site never really adapted, and then B, there's been this weird sort of left-wing turn starting to trump. 0.98

00:03:36.000 He might be sort of bouncing back a little, but overall it's gone left and, you know, he's hammered his audience and no one really knows what, you know, the story is behind that.

00:03:45.000 Well, there you go.

00:03:46.000 Word.

00:03:46.000 Well, thanks for joining us.

00:03:47.000 Pleasure to see you guys.

00:03:48.000 Happy to be here on a Friday.

00:03:50.000 Beautiful Friday night.

00:03:51.000 Amazing weather outside.

00:03:52.000 Went for a walk down to the river.

00:03:54.000 Happy to be back.

00:03:55.000 Nice moonlight.

00:03:55.000 Very sweaty.

00:03:56.000 Yeah, it was nice.

00:03:58.000 The moon hadn't gone down yet.

00:03:59.000 Yeah, because we're actually at the top of a mountain.

00:04:01.000 I got some.

00:04:01.000 What are those little those needle?

00:04:03.000 I'll think of the I'll think of the word of this plant that I got all over my feet.

00:04:06.000 These little needles.

00:04:07.000 Nettle.

00:04:08.000 You walked barefoot?

00:04:09.000 I walked in sandals through the nettles.

00:04:11.000 Yeah, it was the nettles.

00:04:11.000 We're on top of a mountain here.

00:04:14.000 I think we're like 150 feet up or more.

00:04:16.000 Like, no, I think it's way more than that.

00:04:18.000 I think it might be like 200.

00:04:19.000 When I was driving in, every ten foot there was a no trespassing sign, and I was getting progressively more nervous.

00:04:25.000 If this is the wrong house, I'm totally getting shot.

00:04:28.000 There's two no trespassing signs, so don't exaggerate.

00:04:31.000 Because after the second one, it's the auto defense turrets.

00:04:35.000 They progressively get bigger.

00:04:38.000 That's what I saw.

00:04:38.000 Someone actually once claimed that we had full auto .50 cal.

00:04:41.000 It's like, cool! 1.00

00:04:42.000 These people are nuts. 0.99

00:04:43.000 Like, no, that's not true. 1.00

00:04:45.000 It's just a little sign that says, don't come in my house.

00:04:48.000 But sure, we got Lydia Preston. 0.97

00:04:49.000 I loved this rumor about our auto defense turrets and 50 cal.

00:04:52.000 I was like, this is cool.

00:04:53.000 Why hasn't Tim told me about this?

00:04:55.000 I wouldn't deny it.

00:04:56.000 I would just say, yeah, yeah, totally have that.

00:04:57.000 Yeah, don't come here.

00:05:00.000 Let them believe it.

00:05:00.000 All right, let's talk.

00:05:02.000 I'm so excited for this Nicki Minaj story, because it's just progressively getting better.

00:06:37.000 And you'd be surprised.

00:06:39.000 We actually have had network attacks.

00:06:40.000 And I don't want to get into too much detail because it could risk our security, but there's stuff that goes on behind the scenes where we're like, yo, we need to consider this stuff because weird stuff happens and I'll leave it at that.

00:06:50.000 And you don't notice until you get an IT guy who's like, yo, and he shows you and you're like, whoa, I didn't even realize that was happening.

00:06:56.000 And it's bad.

00:07:07.000 Ian's getting ready to do a cooking show.

00:07:08.000 Oh, it's making me hungry just thinking about it.

00:07:10.000 Cooking show.

00:07:11.000 I tell you, the feedback's been great, too.

00:07:13.000 I think people are really excited.

00:07:14.000 The people that like me are really excited to watch the cooking show.

00:07:17.000 It's going to be like a hippy, trippy, cosmic cooking show.

00:07:19.000 You know, and what I'm going to do is take people's suggestions.

00:07:22.000 They're going to send in recipes, and I want to do recipes from fans and things too.

00:07:26.000 I think that'll be really fun.

00:07:28.000 Don't forget to like this video, this live stream.

00:07:39.000 We don't have a massive CNN-style marketing budget, but we do have all of you who support the show, so greatly appreciated.

00:07:45.000 Let's read this story!

00:07:47.000 I chose Jezebel for our source.

00:07:49.000 Perfect.

00:07:49.000 On purpose.

00:07:51.000 Jezebel reports, Nicki Minaj just tried to dox two reporters.

00:07:56.000 It seems like she isn't very happy about what's going on?

00:07:58.000 There's a question mark there.

00:07:59.000 I don't know.

00:08:00.000 I had to read it with the upward inflection.

00:08:01.000 Jezebel is a bad website.

00:08:03.000 They're not a good website, but I thought it would be interesting to pull up Jezebel because here's what I find fascinating.

00:08:11.000 Jezebel's supposed to be like feminists. 1.00

00:08:13.000 Feminists, right? 1.00

00:08:14.000 Supposedly feminist websites. 1.00

00:08:15.000 That's the right thing.

00:08:16.000 Why are they defending the Daily Mail?

00:08:19.000 Isn't that weird?

00:08:20.000 So anyway, they prattle on for quite a bit and then somewhere near the bottom they go on to mention, she hopped on Instagram and posted screenshots to her story that allegedly show a conversation between a reporter in Trinidad attempting to contact some of her family members. 0.94

00:08:34.000 One assumes that this reporter must be doing so in order to verify the claims of swollen balls.

00:08:38.000 But we will likely never know the truth, because Minaj also used her story to attempt to dox the reporters by posting a picture of a business card, a name, and a phone number, and that it was a mail-online business card. 0.78

00:08:49.000 Like, it's a Murdoch company.

00:08:50.000 I'm Jezebel's feminist, and they're all of a sudden... These people have... They claim, like, these are bad outlets, and now, all of a sudden, they're journalists?

00:08:57.000 Okay, sure, whatever.

00:08:57.000 But anyway, for those that are familiar with the story, I'll give you the quick version.

00:09:01.000 Nicki Minaj tweeted that her cousin's friend got the vaccine, became impotent, his balls swole up, and then his fiance left him. 0.98

00:09:10.000 Which is like an absolutely insane and ridiculous story. 0.95

00:09:13.000 I personally, like based on everything I read, I don't think that had anything to do with the vaccine.

00:09:17.000 But Nicki Minaj was just telling a story she heard.

00:09:19.000 So okay.

00:09:20.000 Journalists got all angry and they started making fun of her.

00:09:23.000 She then said two things.

00:09:24.000 She didn't want to travel because of her baby. 0.91

00:09:27.000 She then said the Met Gala wanted people to get vaccinated, and if she was going to get vaccinated, it wouldn't be for the Met Gala.

00:09:32.000 Then the narrative became, Nicki Minaj refuses to attend Met Gala due to vaccine mandates and a fear of swollen balls.

00:09:39.000 Which she wouldn't really have, but... Right.

00:09:42.000 But it's just like, it's over the top, and then she's like, yo, you're lying.

00:09:44.000 I didn't say that.

00:09:45.000 And the media, what they do is they take what she said and twist it to the legal extent they can without getting sued. 0.90

00:09:53.000 But Nicki Minaj has got 180 million followers, so she's going nuclear on these.

00:09:57.000 Let me show you what she posted.

00:10:00.000 So, let's get rid of that.

00:10:02.000 She says, she posts one thread.

00:10:05.000 I'm not gonna read necessarily the conversation.

00:10:08.000 It's just like a journalist, like their names and stuff.

00:10:11.000 She says, threatening my family in Trinidad won't bode well for you.

00:10:14.000 In Trinidad, harassing my family. 1.00

00:10:16.000 I didn't want to give details, but now I will.

00:10:18.000 And this is a guy named James Fielding.

00:10:20.000 We blocked that as information.

00:10:21.000 They're forcing my family to have to hide out.

00:10:24.000 This is what speaking up looks like.

00:10:26.000 Millions of poor people are treated this way by people you think are the good guys.

00:10:30.000 This is unconscionable, that one.

00:10:32.000 Well, that was surprising to me.

00:10:33.000 Because she's now pointing out, like, these people are bad guys.

00:10:35.000 Huh.

00:10:35.000 They're claimed to be the good guys or the bad guys.

00:10:37.000 She said, Charlene Ramper said, bitch, your days are effing numbered, you dirty hoe. 1.00

00:10:43.000 Ooh! 1.00

00:10:44.000 Spicy.

00:10:45.000 Nikki! 0.92

00:10:47.000 You know what, I'm not gonna cheer for that level of... Behemoths.

00:10:54.000 Yeah, but I will say, fighting back.

00:10:57.000 That I respect.

00:10:58.000 I was gonna say, I'm against doxxing people, but the key word there is people.

00:11:02.000 That's exactly it.

00:11:03.000 There's a bunch of little guys out there who get pushed around and lied about.

00:11:06.000 I don't know, these people all see themselves as gods to some extent, and I do think it's

00:11:09.000 time they sort of get some pushback, and who better than someone with 100 million rabid

00:11:14.000 followers to join in.

00:11:15.000 That's exactly it.

00:11:16.000 It's like, you know, there's a bunch of little guys out there who get pushed around and lied

00:11:20.000 about.

00:11:21.000 There was that CNN story we were actually talking about before the show.

00:11:24.000 CNN's like, we're gonna dox this guy if he posts a meme one more time. 0.92

00:11:27.000 And it's like, these people are insane. 0.54

00:11:29.000 They target the little guy. 0.52

00:11:31.000 And now they've gone after Nicki Minaj, who is the opposite of the little guy.

00:11:34.000 She's a juggernaut. 1.00

00:11:36.000 Maybe celebrities we all don't really like are way forward.

00:11:41.000 It's like the secret to defeat these people.

00:11:42.000 I don't know.

00:11:43.000 You see all these conservatives that are cheering her on like, yeah, she's one of us now.

00:11:48.000 And it's like, no, she agrees on one issue.

00:11:51.000 We don't have to accept them fully, but it is nice when we can align here and there.

00:11:54.000 She is one of us.

00:11:56.000 Because whatever this side is, we were talking about the other day, the cult and the not cult.

00:12:01.000 That is true.

00:12:02.000 I don't agree with conservatives on a lot of things.

00:12:04.000 And I always like to mention that I went on Glenn Beck's show.

00:12:07.000 We're sitting in this big movie studio, basically, because Glenn Beck's The Blaze offices are ridiculously massive.

00:12:13.000 And we have like this microphone hanging down or whatever and we're arguing pro-choice versus pro-life

00:12:17.000 with smiles on our faces and a handshake and like wow that was a really great conversation and we're

00:12:21.000 like yeah. I remember I had that thought the other day too where I'm like I think with me like if I

00:12:25.000 had a you know start a new country it's more the people than the policies like I would rather have

00:12:29.000 our legislature but where we can actually talk to each other and actually converse and and instead

00:12:34.000 of just you know defaming each other and you know do what the left does where they reinvent the

00:12:38.000 Like, I would rather have a more sane populace with a diversity of opinion than an only right-wing country.

00:12:44.000 Because, I mean, I don't know what kind of right-wing it would be, even.

00:12:46.000 And what if there are people I don't like?

00:12:48.000 So that, too, I think is important.

00:12:50.000 I would say that's never going to happen.

00:12:51.000 There are some instances where I'll see the right do something that I consider to be disingenuous, or just, like, exaggerated or hyperbolic, you know?

00:12:59.000 There was one where, recently happened, Joe Biden was, like, wearing sunglasses and eating ice cream or whatever, I don't know what he was doing.

00:13:04.000 And he said something like, he was asked about Trump, and he goes, ah, Trump, I don't know, said, uh, Robert E. Lee, we're in Afghanistan, I don't want to talk about it or whatever.

00:13:15.000 and they were like look he's stuttering and mumbling and he can't speak and I'm like no

00:13:19.000 that time it just sounded like he was uninterested. It was being dismissive.

00:13:23.000 It was being dismissive. You don't need to pretend that Joe Biden can't speak. We can

00:13:26.000 all hear him say, tune in on a shot of the pressure. That's what it was.

00:13:30.000 But it's With the quote-unquote right or the not-cult, it's a mix.

00:13:34.000 It's independent voters.

00:13:36.000 You've got people like Jimmy Dore.

00:13:38.000 Jimmy Dore's a socialist as far as I know.

00:13:40.000 I'm not saying it to be derogatory.

00:13:42.000 I think he actually identifies as a socialist and I think Jimmy's fantastic.

00:13:46.000 And he points out a lot of the same manipulations and lies in the media.

00:13:49.000 So Jimmy Dore sitting down with a conservative, they're probably going to be arguing like crazy, but then they're going to completely agree on the establishment, the feds, the war, the manipulation.

00:13:58.000 So when Nicki Minaj comes out and she's like, the media lies.

00:14:02.000 And I'm not going to stand for it.

00:14:03.000 It's like, yes, this is basically what we're talking about.

00:14:06.000 The people who are discerning, they look at the media and they question the narratives and the people who aren't, who believe whatever they're told.

00:14:15.000 So Nicki Minaj tweets this thing like they're lying about me.

00:14:17.000 Michael Malice tweeted at her, the corporate press is the enemy of the people. 0.87

00:14:21.000 And then someone responded, Nicki Minaj is on the side of the far right.

00:14:26.000 Here we go.

00:14:27.000 But that's the cult.

00:14:28.000 I mean, that's the weird thing about the left, too, and making every common sense position far right is like you're going to actually normalize the far right, which is not necessarily something you want to do either.

00:14:35.000 Right.

00:14:35.000 But it's not even far right.

00:14:37.000 Well, it's not at all far right.

00:14:38.000 I was thinking about how it's not a volleyball game where it's like half of us and half of us.

00:14:42.000 It's more like mold toxicity has entered the system.

00:14:45.000 So it's not like an aberration, like it's there and we can locate it.

00:14:48.000 It hits the system and then it disperses throughout.

00:14:49.000 So we've got this bits of like toxicity in the system, but it's a small percentage of the system, although it's affecting it.

00:14:55.000 Yeah.

00:14:56.000 And then the rest of the system's just functioning, and now we're all kind of trying to work together.

00:15:00.000 I got a crazy idea.

00:15:02.000 Get the right to get on board with universal health care.

00:15:04.000 Actually, it's not even my joke.

00:15:05.000 It's the Babylon Bee.

00:15:07.000 Trump comes out in support of impeachment, forcing Democrats to oppose.

00:15:10.000 Remember that one?

00:15:12.000 I'm not even going to claim the joke.

00:15:13.000 It's a recycled joke.

00:15:14.000 But yeah, if the right came out and they were like, we support the Green New Deal and AOC, they'd be like, AOC is far right! 0.98

00:15:21.000 Because you can't convert people on the right.

00:15:23.000 Politics only flows one way.

00:15:24.000 Someone did that with CNN.

00:15:25.000 I think they were arguing for paid maternity leave.

00:15:28.000 And then Ivanka Trump proposed not that policy, but a tax credit for mothers. 1.00

00:15:32.000 And then CNN wrote an article about why that was such a horrible policy.

00:15:37.000 Well, this is the world we live in.

00:15:38.000 That's why I call it the cult.

00:15:40.000 Because, like, I can sit down and have a conversation about border policy with libertarians, and you have libertarians who are pro and against borders, and the libertarians who are like, open borders are the only true libertarian position.

00:15:52.000 And the other person is like, no, no, there should be borders, otherwise you don't have a country.

00:15:55.000 And it's like, those conversations can happen.

00:15:58.000 We've been trying to get people to come on with Alex Jones.

00:16:01.000 We want a leftist to come on.

00:16:03.000 They won't do it.

00:16:04.000 Because they're scared of him.

00:16:05.000 Not because, you know what the funny thing is?

00:16:08.000 They're scared because he's gonna be right.

00:16:09.000 Because when Joe Rogan had him on, and Joe Rogan kept fact-checking him, and then Joe would be like, Alex, that's not true, and Alex would be like, look it up, I'm telling you!

00:16:17.000 And then Jamie pulled it up, and then, oh yeah, I found it, it's true.

00:16:21.000 It's CNN reporting, 2016, some weird thing.

00:16:24.000 When he was here, Alex told me that we eat cloned beef.

00:16:28.000 He's like, all the beef you're eating, it's all clones. 0.97

00:16:30.000 And I'm like, no it isn't, that's ridiculous.

00:16:32.000 And he's like, look, Google it.

00:16:34.000 Typed it in, and dozens of articles.

00:16:36.000 All of the meat you get is from cloned cows.

00:16:38.000 And I was like, oh.

00:16:40.000 So what happens is we have these leftists.

00:16:41.000 Some of them are like, yeah, I'll do the show.

00:16:42.000 And then later go, no, no, no, no, I'm not going to do it.

00:16:44.000 Because what are they going to do when they sit down across from Alex Jones and he says something populist?

00:16:49.000 Like, we can't have these elites stealing money from the working class.

00:16:51.000 And they're gonna be like I agree with you Alex Jones, and I think that's gonna get clipped yeah and put everywhere

00:16:55.000 They're scared. They're scared because now I certainly think Alice has been crazy and wrong about a lot of things

00:17:00.000 Oh, he's a nut, but I like the guy but but when he talks about

00:17:03.000 Nobody wants to be in the room with the guy these leftists Don't where they get a sound bite where they're in 0.81

00:17:07.000 agreement with him over basic issues When he's talking about 5g cell towers and mutant animal hybrids

00:17:13.000 and weird stuff like it's weird The left can't agree with the right on a single issue.

00:17:18.000 We can agree with a single issue with Nicki Minaj and go, yeah, we'll align with you there.

00:17:22.000 But they'll find someone they agree with on everything, or even they're canceling within their own.

00:17:28.000 They'll find someone they agree with on everything and be like, oh, he said a homophobic term in Xbox Live in 2003.

00:17:33.000 Oh, what was that?

00:17:34.000 The Jeopardy guy?

00:17:37.000 Yeah, I think it was nine years ago.

00:17:41.000 It's so weird, too, because you can see it play out on Twitter, the whole process, and all the other journalists are like, wow, great job transcribing this nine-year-old podcast no one knew about.

00:17:50.000 Great work, guys.

00:17:51.000 Yeah, what did he say? 0.53

00:17:52.000 He said boobs or something. 0.85

00:17:53.000 Something. 0.75

00:17:54.000 It was something so... I mean, I already forgot what it was.

00:18:00.000 Dude, I say it all the time, but like, I don't understand how people would choose to live that way.

00:18:06.000 Like, Nicki Minaj is willing to put her career on the line because she's like, screw you, I'm not gonna do what you say. 0.99

00:18:11.000 How is it Nicki Minaj is more punk rock than Rage Against the Machine?

00:18:16.000 That's the thing with the left.

00:18:17.000 They always have an issue, no matter how obscure.

00:18:19.000 Like, I'll be friends with someone on Facebook from college and they're like, oh, this native tribe in the middle of this place you've never heard of needs our help.

00:18:26.000 And I'm like, how do you guys keep track of all this?

00:18:29.000 I'm not saying it's bad to care, I'm just saying I don't get how you guys- it must be exhausting.

00:18:33.000 I'm looking forward to, like, Nikki doing new songs.

00:18:35.000 Yeah.

00:18:35.000 Because she- She might incorporate a- Oh, it's all gonna be in it.

00:18:38.000 Red pills, baby.

00:18:39.000 Yeah, and she's- it's like, you think back to that line from Rage Against the Machine, I'm sorry, Rage on Behalf of the Machine, where they said, F you, I won't do what you tell me.

00:18:49.000 And now they're, they're lying.

00:18:51.000 We should rewrite that song.

00:18:52.000 F you, you better do what they tell you.

00:18:53.000 And they're not, they were never really anti-establishment.

00:18:55.000 Like if you, well they actually did a tour, I think it was sponsored by Pepsi once, but you might want to check that.

00:19:00.000 But on Tamarowe's guitar, the black one, I don't know what it's called, I'm not into music, but it references Shining Path, which is a Peruvian communist group that killed 60,000 people.

00:19:11.000 Yes.

00:19:11.000 Yeah, so that's the kind of people he's publicly supporting.

00:19:14.000 I mean, it doesn't really seem all that anti-establishment or you're

00:19:17.000 rebelling against anything.

00:19:17.000 But when the establishment in the U.S.

00:19:19.000 opposes communism, they're anti-establishment.

00:19:21.000 Yes. So that's the funny thing, right?

00:19:23.000 You've got some people who are who this is what I what I what I found.

00:19:27.000 I was having a conversation with this hacker guy, relatively prominent.

00:19:31.000 Prominent during the anonymous era.

00:19:33.000 Occupy Wall Street.

00:19:34.000 And I was like, we were arguing.

00:19:36.000 And I was like, dude, you guys changed.

00:19:38.000 Like, we didn't change.

00:19:39.000 We still believe in free speech.

00:19:40.000 We still believe in all these things.

00:19:42.000 And then he just was like, yeah, I know.

00:19:44.000 We used you.

00:19:45.000 Like, we were anti-establishment because we want to subvert, you know, the authority and take over and install our communist, you know, utopia.

00:19:53.000 And you were willing to help us do it.

00:19:55.000 So we tolerated it.

00:19:56.000 Now that we have institutional authority, we don't believe in freedom.

00:20:00.000 It was just a means to an end.

00:20:00.000 And we never did.

00:20:01.000 Yeah, that's that's the thing in politics in general.

00:20:04.000 Like people are only really principled so long as, you know, it gets them into power.

00:20:09.000 I think only the right really stays principled, but it's almost to their detriment at certain times.

00:20:13.000 Like you'll see them be weak on vaccine mandates, for instance.

00:20:16.000 It's like, well, we can't really tell business what to do or go ahead.

00:20:19.000 No, no, no.

00:20:19.000 I don't want to interrupt.

00:20:21.000 I didn't want to interrupt.

00:20:23.000 I wanted to ask though, because you might know this, has Lauren Boebert proposed repealing the NFA? 0.54

00:20:29.000 I mean, I assume not.

00:20:30.000 But I don't know the actual follower that much.

00:20:33.000 So someone may have... Let me look it up.

00:20:36.000 Yeah, I'm not entirely sure, but that's the National Firearms Act.

00:20:39.000 It bans tons of weapons.

00:20:40.000 It makes it nearly impossible to get specific guns that I think don't even make sense to be banned.

00:20:47.000 But there's a ridiculous amount of guns that are banned.

00:20:49.000 People don't understand that not only is there a ridiculous amount of guns that are banned, but there's also a ridiculous amount of guns that can't even be made because of the NFA and other ATF regulations and rules.

00:21:01.000 So, it looks like Senator Kramer, the U.S.

00:21:04.000 Senator for North Dakota, introduced a bill to abolish the NFA.

00:21:07.000 Senator Kramer and colleagues introduced a bill to improve firearm owners' access.

00:21:11.000 Oh, when was this?

00:21:12.000 This is from June 2021.

00:21:13.000 Oh, hey, that's great!

00:21:15.000 So, I don't know.

00:21:16.000 Is that guy, he's in right now and he's doing that?

00:21:18.000 Yeah, North Dakota.

00:21:19.000 I wasn't doing that to drag Lauren Boeber by any way.

00:21:22.000 It's just because she is very, very much a two-way candidate. 0.77

00:21:25.000 And I'm wondering, like, are the Republicans coming out and being like, you know, we demand?

00:21:29.000 Right.

00:21:31.000 Seemingly not, no.

00:21:32.000 For the most part, no.

00:21:33.000 It's the thing, Republicans will get power, then they'll go, well, if, you know, we use the government to enforce our principles, the left will do it when they take power.

00:21:40.000 And it's like, well, they already are.

00:21:41.000 I mean, it's almost like a meme that schools are left-wing.

00:21:44.000 It's like, you guys let them get that way.

00:21:45.000 But that's the point.

00:21:47.000 I'm not asking for Lowenboebert or Marjorie Taylor Greene or any of these Rand Paul to demand the government give us stuff.

00:21:54.000 I'm saying repeal the law and let people decide on their own.

00:21:58.000 But, you know, the issue is, You got a game of tug-of-war with the left pulling with all their might and the right's just standing still.

00:22:04.000 They do tweet a lot though.

00:22:06.000 You've got the fear of not getting voted back in.

00:22:09.000 If they anger too many people.

00:22:11.000 If they get too loud.

00:22:12.000 So they're kind of like, don't want to make a noise.

00:22:14.000 I didn't even know who that guy was who you just mentioned.

00:22:16.000 Yeah, but there's a lot of members of Congress you don't know.

00:22:18.000 But come on, look at AOC!

00:22:21.000 She stomps around. 0.99

00:22:22.000 Yeah, I think her district is like... She's not one of those people.

00:22:25.000 I think it's like D plus 25, though.

00:22:26.000 Like, basically, you could run a dead Democrat against a Republican in her district, and the dead person would win, unfortunately.

00:22:31.000 You could run a sawhorse.

00:22:33.000 Yeah, I mean, it's literally possible.

00:22:35.000 It's a, you know, Kim Klasek-level district, so it's not... I mean, no, that's the crazy thing, too.

00:22:39.000 And this is not an exaggeration or a joke.

00:22:42.000 If you put Sawhorse, Sawh, space, horse, D, and, you know, John Smith, R, the Sawhorse would win.

00:22:50.000 Because people will just see the D and then check it off, regardless.

00:22:53.000 There's some town, I don't know, I still haven't saw the headline, but where I think a cat won the mayoral election.

00:23:00.000 Which, maybe that was just a joke on the people's part.

00:23:02.000 There's a lot of small towns with only a couple hundred people that vote for the dog.

00:23:05.000 That's because they're like, we don't need a mayor, what's the point?

00:23:08.000 But I actually think, I wonder if this can be, you know, pulled off.

00:23:12.000 If you can... I wonder what would happen if you just went to a district, got someone who's a Republican on the ballot as a Democrat.

00:23:21.000 I've had that thought.

00:23:22.000 Like, you run and you lead with your issues that are left-leaning and just, you know, kind of stay quiet on the other ones.

00:23:28.000 But it doesn't even matter.

00:23:30.000 If there's some obscure district, and you run and it's D plus 28, and you run as a Democrat, and you win the primary...

00:23:40.000 See, the issue, I suppose, is running the primary is very activist-y because that's where all the hardcore activists are.

00:23:46.000 But what's to stop a Republican from doing, you know, pulling an AOC and being like, I'm far left, and then getting in and then go right to the establishment.

00:23:53.000 I know this is just a sheriff election, but I think that's what, I suppose like David Clark, the black sheriff, he used to be on Fox News a lot.

00:23:59.000 Very conservative, but he is a registered Democrat.

00:24:02.000 And I think it's sort of the same thing.

00:24:03.000 He's in an area where you kind of have to be, even though what he's saying is not that way.

00:24:07.000 I think that's the answer to the problem.

00:24:10.000 So a Republican runs as a Democrat in a Democrat district and then votes Republican.

00:24:14.000 No one pays attention to those local politics.

00:24:16.000 I mean, I know who my representative is.

00:24:18.000 I don't know who any of the other ones are.

00:24:20.000 I doubt half the people in my town even know who theirs is.

00:24:23.000 So yeah, I think it would be possible.

00:24:26.000 Well, that's the thing about...

00:24:29.000 Is there?

00:24:29.000 AOC's district. She won the primary with what was it like 11,000 votes? Wow. So imagine

00:24:35.000 if a Republican ran as a Democrat and told all of the Republicans, because there's I

00:24:40.000 think how many are there? 200,000 or it's like 120,000 Republicans in AOC's district

00:24:46.000 I think. Is there? Yeah. Interesting. It's like 20% so it's actually a little bit more.

00:24:51.000 It's like 150. Imagine if you got 20,000 activist Republicans to vote in the Democratic primary

00:24:56.000 for the conservative Democrat.

00:24:58.000 Although, was the 11,000, was that her... Didn't she have like a runoff with the incumbent or something? 0.99

00:25:04.000 Joe Crowley, I think it was.

00:25:05.000 AOC?

00:25:06.000 Yeah.

00:25:06.000 It wasn't a runoff.

00:25:07.000 She won the primary.

00:25:08.000 Oh, so that's what it was.

00:25:10.000 11,000 votes for the primary.

00:25:11.000 And then she wins.

00:25:14.000 I don't know why.

00:25:15.000 I must be misremembering something weird.

00:25:16.000 I don't know.

00:25:17.000 I think it might have been 17,000.

00:25:19.000 And he got 14.

00:25:19.000 But either way, the point is, it was like, in a district of 750,000, that's all you needed to win?

00:25:25.000 Okay, Republicans, run as a centrist Democrat.

00:25:28.000 Just vote.

00:25:29.000 And get all the Republicans to vote for you.

00:25:31.000 And then once you're in, be like, oh, I'm joining the Republican Party.

00:25:34.000 And then you've got New York's 14th as a Republican district in New York.

00:25:38.000 Like, what was, Jeff Van Drew?

00:25:40.000 Oh, yeah.

00:25:41.000 You saw that guy?

00:25:41.000 He was in New Jersey.

00:25:43.000 He was a moderate Democrat.

00:25:44.000 He won in 20... He's flipped, right?

00:25:46.000 Yeah, he flipped because of the impeachment. 1.00

00:25:48.000 He was like, they're nuts. 0.97

00:25:49.000 And he won again, didn't he? 1.00

00:25:51.000 I think so.

00:25:51.000 I think he's from, I think he's South Jersey, which is the more conservative half.

00:25:56.000 Yeah, massive Trump.

00:25:57.000 I'm thinking like, we're thinking like, strip the D and the R off the tickets. 1.00

00:25:59.000 Try that.

00:26:00.000 And then just, then just vote.

00:26:01.000 And you have to know who you're voting for.

00:26:02.000 But then it'd be whoever the coolest name.

00:26:04.000 And you'd get people would change their names to like, Lightning Smash.

00:26:07.000 And then you were heading towards Camacho and Idiocracy.

00:26:09.000 Lightning Smash! 0.94

00:26:13.000 Maybe the age of the popularity contest should be... I'd make my name like election loser so people would vote for me as a joke. 0.53

00:26:18.000 Nobody wins.

00:26:21.000 Ian, I gotta say, I think it's still better.

00:26:24.000 Slashing the D's and the R's? 1.00

00:26:26.000 We would be better off if, in deep red and deep blue districts, a random person won.

00:26:32.000 Random.

00:26:32.000 I really don't like that people drop for the D or the R. That always bothers me.

00:26:37.000 That's all they do.

00:26:37.000 There was a story of the trans-anarchist Satanist in New Hampshire.

00:26:40.000 I think it was New Hampshire, right?

00:26:41.000 I don't know.

00:26:42.000 That ran as a Republican and won.

00:26:46.000 It was a primary, though.

00:26:47.000 That's awesome.

00:26:48.000 And it was because Republicans were just like, yep, yep, Republican, Republican.

00:26:51.000 And then when the Republicans, these voters, found out, they were like, what?

00:26:54.000 I'm outraged!

00:26:55.000 And the trans-anarchist Satanists said to them, you voted for me?

00:27:00.000 Are they still a Republican, do we know?

00:27:01.000 I don't know, I don't know, but I thought that was brilliant.

00:27:05.000 Absolutely brilliant.

00:27:07.000 Send a message to these people who walk in and go, oh, Mitch McConnell, he's a Republican.

00:27:11.000 Lindsey Graham.

00:27:12.000 Yeah, I know.

00:27:13.000 The establishment Republicans are speed bumps for Democrats.

00:27:16.000 And it's intentional, as far as I'm concerned.

00:27:19.000 What do you guys think about having more parties?

00:27:20.000 Because I've floated it in both ways, where I'm like, on one hand, it allows people to be more honest, because optionally, within the Republican Party, there's probably three or four different factions.

00:27:30.000 But on the other hand, it could risk making the country more divided in that, you know, instead of one, the blue team versus the red team, you've got eight teams that are... It would be a good thing.

00:27:38.000 But it's not possible in first-past-the-post voting systems.

00:27:41.000 Well, it would need to be like Europe, where you vote for the party and then whatever percent they get, you know...

00:27:46.000 Like the parliamentary system?

00:27:47.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:27:48.000 Where basically it's like, if 70% of the vote is for... Republicans, then you're hoping to get 70% of the seats.

00:27:53.000 Right.

00:27:54.000 I'm a little ignorant on how they fill the seats.

00:27:55.000 I don't know if the party picks them or what goes on next, but... I think the party decides.

00:27:58.000 I'm not sure though.

00:27:59.000 I assume that's it, but I'm not sure, yeah.

00:28:01.000 If we had 10 Libertarian seats in the House, it would force the Democrats and Republicans to compromise.

00:28:08.000 Yeah, I want, like, a Libertarian Party, a Nationalist Party, like a... I don't know, maybe, like, a Tea Party, a Tea Party, and the left can have their, you know, crazy different factions, like a Green Party or something.

00:28:16.000 Maybe in a ring of choice?

00:28:17.000 Or a DSA, or something like that, yeah.

00:28:18.000 Because, look at it this way, there's... Bernie Sanders is notorious for compromising and working with Republicans, and that's why they called Kamala Harris the most liberal member of Congress, which is not true.

00:28:31.000 It was just based on one year's voting, I think, that particular... It was based on cooperation.

00:28:36.000 Bernie Sanders was willing to cooperate and sponsor Republicans in exchange for their support on his bills.

00:28:41.000 Right.

00:28:42.000 And his bills were substantially more progressive, but he knew where his paths were, and Kamala Harris was just not talking to Republicans at all.

00:28:48.000 That doesn't make her further left than Bernie, but that's how they weighed it.

00:28:52.000 Yeah, and I think another thing, too, is, like, Bernie, there are certain policies of his that there's literally no point in proposing because they're not gonna go anywhere.

00:28:59.000 So, obviously, he has radical beliefs, but they don't show up in the record because You know, it's just never going to pass.

00:29:04.000 You remember when Bernie, he said this, I think it was, man, when was this?

00:29:07.000 20, it might've been 2018.

00:29:09.000 He said, he was asked at a rally, should we have open borders?

00:29:13.000 And he said something like, it's Koch brothers, right?

00:29:14.000 Yeah.

00:29:15.000 He went, no, no, no.

00:29:15.000 That was an interview in 2015.

00:29:16.000 He was asked at a rally and he went, oh, oh geez, no.

00:29:20.000 Like the poor would flood into this country. 0.85

00:29:22.000 We can't do that.

00:29:23.000 And so the world socialist website called him a nationalist capitalist.

00:29:29.000 Speaking of people flooding into the country, did you see Drew Hernandez's tweet from today of that giant mob of people coming across the border?

00:29:37.000 It's from the air.

00:29:38.000 You might be able to pull up Drew's Twitter.

00:29:39.000 And then after that went viral, didn't they try to ban the use of drones in that specific area?

00:29:45.000 They banned Fox News flying drones over that particular area.

00:29:48.000 So the local law enforcement gave them a helicopter to fly overhead.

00:29:51.000 That's awesome.

00:29:52.000 Yeah, incredible.

00:29:52.000 I thought it was fantastic.

00:29:53.000 They're the people on the border who live there, the local law enforcement.

00:29:56.000 They're like, this needs to be.

00:29:57.000 Are you talking about the aerial view?

00:29:58.000 One or 10,000 migrants have congregated under a border bridge after crossing illegally.

00:30:03.000 Reports Fox News.

00:30:05.000 This is from Del Rio, Texas.

00:30:07.000 Yeah.

00:30:08.000 Yeah.

00:30:09.000 So these images are crazy.

00:30:10.000 And the Biden administration got the FAA to shut down airspace.

00:30:13.000 Apparently they're defying it.

00:30:15.000 Drone airspace, I guess.

00:30:16.000 Yes.

00:30:17.000 So Tucker said on the air there he was telling them, like literally telling the guy, don't

00:30:19.000 obey them.

00:30:20.000 Right.

00:30:21.000 There's no United States anymore.

00:30:24.000 See that?

00:30:26.000 It certainly doesn't feel united.

00:30:28.000 We're not a republic.

00:30:30.000 We talked about this a couple days ago with Jack Murphy.

00:30:32.000 Laws are created in this country now over the past two years as the sovereign decrees it, and then the people are given the right to challenge so long as they're impacted by it.

00:30:43.000 The courts can then strike down their challenge and the law stands.

00:30:46.000 That's what's happening with all of the coronavirus lockdowns across the country.

00:30:49.000 Yeah, CDC stuff.

00:30:49.000 It's like, they should not have the authority to create law.

00:30:52.000 And even when the Supreme Court says so, Biden says, I'll do it anyway.

00:30:55.000 So now we're in a government where governors and the president just say, here's the law.

00:31:02.000 And then the people go, okay, I guess.

00:31:05.000 Not only that, so that's why I say we're not in a republic.

00:31:07.000 Jack Murphy is actually the one who said that, but we're not a country anymore for one simple reason.

00:31:12.000 At the southern border in Texas, the migrants are going back and forth.

00:31:16.000 I saw that.

00:31:17.000 It looked like that.

00:31:18.000 No, they are.

00:31:19.000 Literally, this is the big news.

00:31:21.000 They're going into Mexico, and they're walking back and forth as if there's no border anymore.

00:31:25.000 Well, there really isn't.

00:31:26.000 That's it.

00:31:27.000 So, when it was... When we had a border, You have a country.

00:31:31.000 It's defined by here's the border of our country where our jurisdiction extends.

00:31:36.000 Then we started having problems with illegal immigration, so we started putting up barriers, and then Trump says, you know, we get to the point now where it's like we're gonna build a wall because we're asserting our right to have jurisdiction.

00:31:45.000 That this is our country, this is where our community lives.

00:31:48.000 Joe Biden gets in, and the crisis gets worse.

00:31:51.000 But we identify it as a problem.

00:31:53.000 Illegal immigration, people coming in this country are violating our borders. 1.00

00:31:56.000 Now it's been a year.

00:31:58.000 No, it's been almost a year.

00:31:59.000 It's been, you know, three quarters of a year.

00:32:02.000 And Joe Biden, the problem's only gotten worse.

00:32:05.000 And it's gotten so bad that the migrants are actually crossing back and forth.

00:32:09.000 So people will walk into the United States, go to the camp and hang out, then walk back to Mexico for food and water and go to stores and then walk back and then sleep under the bridge as if there is no jurisdiction at all anymore.

00:32:21.000 We're having I think there's like a 20-year high in apprehensions and I assume because of Biden we're not not as much effort as even going into apprehensions and despite that fact we're at 20-year highs so it's probably so much worse than we can even imagine.

00:32:33.000 I imagine Joe Biden sitting there like, is the country collapsed yet?

00:32:37.000 Well, I mean, the end goal is amnesty.

00:32:39.000 And the left is always shifting the goalposts.

00:32:41.000 They'll go, oh, I mean, we have 11 to 30 million people here.

00:32:44.000 We can't possibly deport them all.

00:32:46.000 So the answer for them is to do nothing.

00:32:48.000 And then 30 years from now, they can go, hey, there's 50 to 100 million illegals here.

00:32:52.000 We can't deport them all. 0.99

00:32:53.000 And it's just it's endlessly moving the goalposts and then trying to end with amnesty.

00:32:57.000 You know, but the amnesty is irrelevant.

00:33:00.000 Illegal immigrants give electoral votes to states. 0.98

00:33:02.000 Yep.

00:33:03.000 Yeah.

00:33:03.000 So congressional districts are drawn.

00:33:04.000 I have a story about that.

00:33:05.000 Just for people, because we bring this up a lot.

00:33:07.000 A lot of people don't know this, and it's one of the most important points.

00:33:10.000 Congressional districts are drawn up by population, not by citizenry.

00:33:14.000 So the more non-citizens are in an area, which they can just keep bringing in, then the census comes out and they say, oh, look, we've got, we need more districts. 0.90

00:33:22.000 California and New York, I think, are actually losing districts this time.

00:33:24.000 So I don't know if you ever had any run-ins with the fact checkers yet.

00:33:27.000 I think it's one.

00:33:28.000 over that I did an article and I was citing a reputable study on how many extra votes

00:33:33.000 does Cal or how many extra reps does California get due to illegal immigration.

00:33:37.000 And I think it was four or five was what it came out to.

00:33:39.000 So PolitiFact wrote about it.

00:33:41.000 I think it's one.

00:33:42.000 Well, I'll show you the study.

00:33:44.000 But there are fact checkers I think was two.

00:33:46.000 But so they do a fact check on me.

00:33:50.000 Their response was it's mostly false because it might actually be two or three.

00:33:55.000 And I went to the evidence where they debunked my claim.

00:33:58.000 They emailed some professor and he said, oh, I think it's probably closer to two or three.

00:34:02.000 That was literally the fact check was some dude whose name I forget.

00:34:06.000 They ask an opinion piece to act as a fact check.

00:34:08.000 And then Facebook gives them the power to strike your business.

00:34:10.000 And then I think I emailed them even the math.

00:34:12.000 I'm like, well, here's, you know, the average population of reps.

00:34:15.000 Here's their extra population.

00:34:16.000 So it should be this amount and no effect.

00:34:18.000 I think it was the Heritage Foundation said that California ends up with one extra electoral vote and college seat based on electoral college votes and congressional seat based on the population of illegal immigrants.

00:34:30.000 Yeah, it was Center for Immigration Studies and to be fair they might have also been factoring in, and I think mine excluded this, but they also did one where they put in legal permanent residents who are non-citizens because they also count And it also, you know, generally benefits left-leaning states.

00:34:45.000 I don't, I don't, I think, man, Biden's our Buchanan.

00:34:51.000 You know, so either the United States is done already.

00:34:55.000 We've got Sarah Silverman coming out being like, I think we should have, our country should break up. 0.99

00:35:00.000 They can be USA1, we'll be USA2.

00:35:02.000 And I'm like... I did like she would give us one though, that was very nice of her.

00:35:04.000 It was very nice.

00:35:05.000 But she's independently come to this idea.

00:35:07.000 She doesn't watch Michael Malice's show.

00:35:10.000 And that's what he's been talking about.

00:35:11.000 So for her to independently come to this, maybe it's time the country breaks up. 0.86

00:35:15.000 I'm like, you know, when the left and the right are basically like, can we break up please?

00:35:19.000 Yeah.

00:35:19.000 Then what's keeping it together?

00:35:21.000 Yeah.

00:35:21.000 The only concern I have is, I mean, from our perspective, and definitely because we're all politically involved, it feels like it's half the country hates the other half of the country.

00:35:29.000 But I think it also could be the case that 20% of the country hates the other 20%, and then the remaining 60% just want to watch The Bachelor.

00:35:35.000 I'm definitely one of those other 60%. 0.98

00:35:39.000 I don't think it's that big, actually.

00:35:41.000 It could be 10 and 10, even.

00:35:42.000 I think the fact that Joe Biden pulled in as many votes as he did shows that there are regular people who just believe what they're told.

00:35:49.000 Now, they do just want to watch The Bachelor, but they're also scared of The Ripe.

00:35:54.000 Correct.

00:35:54.000 So it's unique to the, whatever we would call the establishment, the left, whatever you want to call it, in that I know people, and this is what I told Bannon, who had no business being in politics, like these are people who've never watched a minute of news, all of a sudden posting videos of them filming themselves dropping their mail-in ballots for Biden saying, we all got to vote for Biden.

00:36:15.000 That kind of zealotry is unique to the left.

00:36:18.000 The right doesn't have that ground game.

00:36:19.000 And that's why I think, you know, like the recall effort could have... They were 1.7 million down, if you analyze the data.

00:36:26.000 I don't know the exact numbers are now.

00:36:28.000 But Trump supporters didn't show up to recall Gavin.

00:36:30.000 I'm not saying they would have won, but they could have come out.

00:36:34.000 Republicans on the right don't have ground game.

00:36:36.000 And I think there are a lot more, as Michael Malice would say, a lot more NPCs on the left.

00:36:40.000 Default liberal, I think, would be right.

00:36:42.000 That's the thing.

00:36:43.000 Your blinders growing up are every musician, artist, mainstream TV show, comedian, every sort of facet of the entertainment industry is all left wing.

00:36:54.000 So when you only hear one opinion, you really can't blame someone for just going, oh, OK, this is, you know, I guess what I'm told.

00:36:59.000 But it's not even that.

00:37:00.000 It's the fear.

00:37:01.000 It's like, you're not right wing, are you?

00:37:04.000 And then when you're like, yes.

00:37:07.000 But not even that, you're like, no, I just think there was a viral TikTok, you know, from libs of TikTok, where this woman's like dancing. 1.00

00:37:13.000 It's like, why I broke up with my boyfriend.

00:37:15.000 It's like, unvaccinated.

00:37:17.000 Doesn't want the vax.

00:37:19.000 Isn't vaccinated.

00:37:20.000 Doesn't like science.

00:37:21.000 And I'm like, what? 0.99

00:37:23.000 These people are insane. 0.98

00:37:24.000 I'm like, you all got a C in chemistry. 0.93

00:37:25.000 Like, what are you pretending, just because you agree on the vaccine science thing?

00:37:29.000 They don't believe in science.

00:37:30.000 I saw this and I was like, this is the crazy thing.

00:37:32.000 When we say science, we're talking about analysis, research, control groups.

00:37:37.000 When they say science, they're talking about authority.

00:37:39.000 Well, the thing too, the phrase, I believe in science is an unscientific phrase.

00:37:43.000 You don't believe it.

00:37:44.000 You accept the data or challenge it.

00:37:47.000 And if you believe in it, you're not thinking.

00:37:49.000 Yeah, you're supposed to use science to challenge itself.

00:37:51.000 Exactly.

00:37:51.000 There's a really great scene in Stargate SG-1.

00:37:54.000 You ever watch that show?

00:37:55.000 Is that the show that was just on downstairs?

00:37:57.000 Yeah.

00:37:57.000 Oh, okay.

00:37:58.000 Well, so I saw that one episode.

00:38:00.000 So they, in one of the early episodes, they go through a portal to other worlds.

00:38:04.000 They find a group of people who are highly technologically advanced.

00:38:07.000 And they consider us primitive, like Earth.

00:38:11.000 Humans on Earth are very primitive.

00:38:13.000 And Carter is explaining Schrodinger's cat, quantum physics, and he laughs and he calls it something else.

00:38:20.000 And then she's like, wait, do you know quantum physics?

00:38:23.000 And he goes, yes, we've long learned of quantum physics and other scientific misconceptions.

00:38:28.000 And she goes, misconceptions?

00:38:31.000 Are you saying you've thrown out quantum physics?

00:38:33.000 And he laughs.

00:38:34.000 Because like, they're not supposed to share their science with less developed.

00:38:37.000 But that was a really great point to be made in a show from, I think the episode was in the 90s, that we can laugh at the fact that we think we know things, and then later on we continually better our understanding and debunk and disprove and refine our understanding.

00:38:53.000 So when you have people saying, I believe the science!

00:38:56.000 And I'm like, oh, which papers did you read?

00:38:58.000 Well, I, Anthony Fauci said on TV, it's like, yo, don't come at me and say that we, our research from reading articles is wrong when I literally read the scientific papers on these different things and you did nothing.

00:39:11.000 And with, and this is more medical science, but there's, I know Vox sucks, but they did an article on like studies proving and disproving that something is good for you.

00:39:11.000 It's a cult.

00:39:20.000 So they'll have like chocolate and have a list of every study that says it's good and everyone that says it's bad.

00:39:24.000 And like for every possible thing, it's 50 50.

00:39:25.000 Yep.

00:39:27.000 Now, obviously, medical science is much harder to control for all that stuff, so it's different than, you know, physics or something, but it is interesting.

00:39:33.000 I don't see how, because we had this argument the other day.

00:39:37.000 There was a point where I felt like we could mend the divide, maybe 2015, 2016.

00:39:43.000 where you know I'm saying like we need to make sure we're understanding each other and explaining

00:39:48.000 things in the right way and if someone is saying racism is prejudice plus power then all we got

00:39:52.000 to do is break down what these words mean and try to come to an understanding. Now we're at the point

00:39:56.000 where it's like you know people are wishing for death on each other. Well we can see we're at a

00:39:59.000 point where we can all see the same viral video and somehow predictably you can predict someone's

00:40:05.000 Or, like, you can know someone's opinions on guns and know their opinion on abortion.

00:40:09.000 Like, there's all these things that really shouldn't be... But I'll tell you where the line is.

00:40:13.000 And this is why I say the left is a cult and whatever you want to call this amalgam of different factions is not.

00:40:20.000 Remember the Acosta?

00:40:21.000 Jim Acosta had the microphone?

00:40:22.000 Yeah, and he was trying to... And the young White House intern tried to take it from him. 0.90

00:40:27.000 The establishment people were arguing that she tried yanking it from him.

00:40:30.000 And the right tried arguing that Acosta tried yanking it back from her.

00:40:37.000 And I think you can clearly see that Acosta was the one musing the force.

00:40:43.000 But my position was, I don't know exactly if Jim Acosta was trying to yank it from her or if he was just reacting.

00:40:51.000 Regardless, Jim Acosta should not be fighting with an intern no matter who was in the right or wrong.

00:40:56.000 Jim Acosta should have handed the microphone over.

00:40:58.000 And I had high profile personalities DM me.

00:41:02.000 I'm not going to say who it was and be like, are you being serious with this right now?

00:41:06.000 And I was like, serious with what you really saying it's his fault.

00:41:10.000 And I was like, why, why was he standing up there talking for two minutes?

00:41:15.000 When you're in the White House as a guest, when the intern comes up to take the microphone from you, you say, well, here's your microphone back.

00:41:20.000 But they don't care.

00:41:22.000 They literally are like, that's why I say it's a cult.

00:41:24.000 It's not about whether it's true or false.

00:41:26.000 It's not about whether it was Acosta's fault or the intern's fault.

00:41:29.000 It's about do you agree with me or not?

00:41:31.000 And even if I say, I don't necessarily agree with the conservatives on this one, but I still think it was wrong that Acosta was even in that situation in the first place.

00:41:37.000 He should have just, he should have handed it right to her.

00:41:38.000 And they're like, no, you're wrong.

00:41:39.000 You're in a, you're, you're the bad guy.

00:41:40.000 And if it was Peter Doocy and like Biden, a woman for Biden, we get like a 3000 word think piece.

00:41:45.000 I'm like, oh, the challenges that female white house interns have always faced in this country. 1.00

00:41:49.000 And what are we going to do about it?

00:41:50.000 I've noticed like if someone posts something and then I'll respond, like, like Tim will say something and I'll write, yeah, right. 0.99

00:41:55.000 On, on his comment, other people will read that and they'll be like, he said, look at that sarcastic jerk. 0.99

00:42:00.000 Yeah, right. 0.98

00:42:01.000 And the age of text is very new for humanity.

00:42:04.000 Oh, I had a roommate who would always drop, like, trolling comments on my post, and fans of mine didn't know who he was, so they would always get angry at him, and he thought it was hilarious.

00:42:12.000 And the problem is, if I'm not trolling, if I really mean, yeah, right, what you're saying, people will see that and think I'm being sarcastic and misinterpret, and that's caused massive confusion.

00:42:20.000 You know, I tweeted, we should ban fat people from hospitals so that we can protect the healthy.

00:42:28.000 It's about the vaccine.

00:42:29.000 It's about triage.

00:42:30.000 It's about if you choose to be unhealthy, then we will not give you a hospital bed, just like with people who aren't vaccinated. 0.54

00:42:37.000 And the tweet got thousands of retweets.

00:42:39.000 And I have people responding with, I may be fat, but I'm healthy and have never spent a penny in the hospital.

00:42:43.000 And then the guy goes, you're being sarcastic.

00:42:46.000 He responds again, dot, dot, dot, you're being sarcastic, aren't you?

00:42:49.000 Like, it was a tweet.

00:42:51.000 The purpose of the tweet is you got to understand about when you do trolling well, it was not a serious tweet.

00:42:58.000 I'm not literally calling for fat people to be banned from hospitals.

00:43:02.000 I'm constructing an argument that puts them in a principled predicament.

00:43:06.000 If they say, well, the reason we think the unvaccinated shouldn't be given hospital beds is because of triage.

00:43:11.000 Then I start with, fat people should be banned because of triage, like the unvaccinated, right? 1.00

00:43:16.000 And it forces, often when I do these tweets, the left can't even respond because it would shatter their narrative.

00:43:21.000 It applies to almost any reason you'd be in a hospital.

00:43:25.000 Like, you could break your leg in a skateboarding accident.

00:43:27.000 Are we going to say, oh, well, you shouldn't have taken that risk, so it's your fault?

00:43:30.000 I mean, and it also sort of undermines their case for universal health care and that if these people were in charge of it, It seems like they're going to be sort of nitpicking who's allowed to have it.

00:43:41.000 Look what they're doing with Florida. 0.97

00:43:42.000 Joe Biden takes away some of the monoclonal antibodies.

00:43:45.000 Well, we've got to give it to other people, and it's like, wow, the other states aren't ordering it.

00:43:49.000 Florida is ordering it because Florida needs it. 0.98

00:43:51.000 Why would you take them away?

00:43:52.000 Because it's punishment.

00:43:54.000 Let's talk about this, because I want to show you this article I got from The Atlantic.

00:43:57.000 This is a series.

00:43:59.000 This was an article published August 13th.

00:44:01.000 It's a series on ancient Rome and the fall of the Roman Republic.

00:44:05.000 And it's really, really quite interesting.

00:44:06.000 Now, this guy running for the Atlantic, it's a mainstream media thing.

00:44:09.000 It's a left wing.

00:44:10.000 He basically says that Trump supporters live in fantasy land and that reactionaries clearly doesn't like Trump supporters.

00:44:15.000 But here's what he says.

00:44:16.000 Will the Trumpist party similarly ultimately prevail once they cross the Rubicon?

00:44:22.000 I have been predicting for years that something resembling a civil war will arise, and something like Trumpists likely will carry the day in the short term.

00:44:31.000 But a reactionary philosophy that rejects fact in favor of fantasy, is economically retrograde, and socially repugnant to the majority of Americans, can impose its rule only for so long.

00:44:40.000 You know what's really funny about that?

00:44:44.000 When you take out the fact that the Trump supporters are not the ones who believe in fantasy, but typically are the ones who are critically thinking, not all of them.

00:44:51.000 They have their zealots.

00:44:53.000 What he's basically saying is the Trump supporters will win.

00:44:55.000 Well, we hold a gun, so... Yeah, but the military and the cops have guns, too.

00:45:01.000 This is one thing that the right doesn't seem to understand.

00:45:03.000 You know, I see these comments all the time.

00:45:04.000 They were like, how is the left going to win a conflict when the right are the ones with the guns?

00:45:07.000 I don't know.

00:45:07.000 The right's the one that are leaving the military.

00:45:09.000 officers are resigning and quitting the police force and leaving in the

00:45:12.000 establishment shills who are armed. But in this, if you're operating

00:45:17.000 under the presumption that Trump supporters are going to win and then say

00:45:22.000 but they can't hold power for long because you know insert disparaging

00:45:26.000 comments about Trump supporters, okay well if you look at the right, if you

00:45:30.000 look at the thought leaders on the right, they're typically critical thinkers.

00:45:34.000 They're biased.

00:45:35.000 Like Daily Wire is a conservative biased site, but they don't post lies.

00:45:40.000 Then the reality is it's the left that's retrograde and reactionary and in favor of fantasy.

00:45:45.000 They think the economy is good right now.

00:45:48.000 So what they're really saying is this guy, based on his assessment of ancient Rome and what's happening now, thinks there will be a civil war and the Trump side will win.

00:45:57.000 I wonder, too, like, when people say civil war, do they literally mean for the entire country?

00:46:01.000 Or do they just mean, like, in some region of it, you know, will be taken over?

00:46:04.000 Because, like... It would be the entire country.

00:46:05.000 Like, so we just got to claim Alaska and Hawaii somehow?

00:46:07.000 It's just included in the package?

00:46:10.000 So, people... The problem with Americans is that their view of civil war is based on one of the most unique internal conflicts in history.

00:46:17.000 The American Civil War was a union of states of different jurisdictions aligning against each other.

00:46:23.000 Whereas most civil wars are factions fighting everywhere in the country at the same time.

00:46:29.000 So if you look at the Spanish Civil War and see like the different pockets that emerged of the Republicans versus the Communists or whatever, and then they're fighting each other and then gaining more and more ground and eventually they take over.

00:46:38.000 I think Spain win military dictatorship or whatever.

00:46:41.000 That's like, oh, okay, that's how a civil war operates.

00:46:44.000 But Americans are like, there was the Mason-Dixon line, and then West Virginia became a state and Virginia separated, and it's like, that's because each state was basically a country.

00:46:54.000 Right.

00:46:54.000 With a sovereign state.

00:46:56.000 And so when the Union got shaky, states seceded of their own accord without what other states thought.

00:47:02.000 And then because of the conflict, the Confederacy joined forces to defend themselves against the Union, and that's why they called it the War of Northern Aggression.

00:47:09.000 Was there a big call from the citizenry to go to civil war, the American Civil War?

00:47:12.000 Was that all like a government thing?

00:47:13.000 I think it was a government thing.

00:47:14.000 All the governors just decided, right?

00:47:16.000 Not a governor thing, I think it was a government thing.

00:47:19.000 The legislatures, and I think regular people didn't want it, but nothing could be done.

00:47:23.000 I mean, first and foremost, slavery.

00:47:25.000 Here's the other difference between a modern civil war and the past civil war.

00:47:29.000 You can argue, and I agree with this, that slavery was so morally repugnant, going in to stop slavery was a cause in and to itself.

00:47:40.000 Meaning, if we had a state right now that was like, Enslaving people? 1.00

00:47:46.000 I would be demanding the federal government, like, we cannot tolerate it in our own country.

00:47:49.000 It's a violation of all of our rights, and it must be ended immediately.

00:47:52.000 And so I can certainly understand why the North was like, we're not gonna let these states do this.

00:47:56.000 First of all, they had continually passed laws that were like, we're gonna get rid of slavery, and the South was mad about it and wanted to leave the Union.

00:48:02.000 War breaks out.

00:48:03.000 But when you have that moral issue, and I think everyone agrees, like, you know, it was a good thing to end slavery.

00:48:11.000 I agree slavery was really bad.

00:48:13.000 That's the thing, like, name a person right now.

00:48:14.000 I'm sure there are some crackpot, you know, individuals and racists who are, like, angry about it, but 99.99% of everyone agrees it turned out properly.

00:48:23.000 It was the right thing.

00:48:24.000 Today, we do not have that moral issue.

00:48:27.000 Our moral issues are like, I live in the mountains of West Virginia and I want to own a gun.

00:48:31.000 Well, I'm from New York and I think you shouldn't be allowed to have one.

00:48:35.000 Could you imagine?

00:48:37.000 That makes no sense.

00:48:38.000 No one's gonna invade West Virginia to end the moral repugnance of gun ownership.

00:48:44.000 And no one from West Virginia is gonna go invade New York to stop them.

00:48:48.000 They're gonna be like, what's gonna happen is, West Virginia's gonna be like, we out.

00:48:54.000 I also had this thought, too, in my various streams of secession.

00:48:57.000 I had this thought that, like, I think the biggest divide, too, is urban-rural, in that even if a state were to succeed, its population centers are probably still going to be left-wing and still have outsized influence, even if, you know, people, you know, in the majority of the square mileage of it are right-wing.

00:49:11.000 So, and I know this would never happen, but I don't know if it would make more sense to have, you know, sort of city-states for liberals than, you know, everything else for the conservatives.

00:49:19.000 I don't know.

00:49:19.000 They'd fall in two seconds.

00:49:20.000 Yeah.

00:49:20.000 They'd fall in two seconds.

00:49:21.000 I think it is true that even in West Virginia, the states are blue.

00:49:25.000 It's the craziest thing.

00:49:26.000 People should check this out.

00:49:27.000 Come to West Virginia.

00:49:28.000 Go to central West Virginia.

00:49:30.000 We were in central West Virginia in some small town.

00:49:32.000 And the bars got the trans rainbow flag.

00:49:34.000 And I'm like, we're in central West Virginia.

00:49:38.000 And I'm like, I don't understand why even small urban centers become leftist.

00:49:43.000 The internet.

00:49:44.000 I mean, there's actually a really interesting book by Jonathan Haidt, and he points out that conservatives and liberals actually have different brain structures, and that we are just fundamentally different, and it could just be naturally people with more left-leaning and progressive views tend to congregate among other people.

00:49:58.000 Weaker people who need support. 0.93

00:49:59.000 Yeah.

00:49:59.000 support and want to looch off others.

00:50:00.000 And conservatives kind of like you know space and like there

00:50:03.000 have been polls and it's like with conservatives would you

00:50:04.000 rather have to drive 10 minutes to get somewhere or walk you

00:50:08.000 10 minutes and most liberals will say oh I'll walk to the

00:50:10.000 store most conservatives would prefer the drive and those

00:50:12.000 traits just kind of self select you into that kind of

00:50:14.000 lifestyle.

00:50:14.000 Yeah.

00:50:15.000 Jonathan Its research is fascinating.

00:50:17.000 Liberals have only two of six Yes.

00:50:20.000 Care and fairness.

00:50:22.000 Conservatives have all six, and libertarians only have one.

00:50:25.000 What's theirs?

00:50:26.000 Liberty.

00:50:26.000 Oh, that's it.

00:50:27.000 The only thing!

00:50:29.000 So you can take these tests to weigh your moral foundations, and When I take the test, it comes up left liberal.

00:50:37.000 But it's because I have a little bit more care and fairness and then a slight balance across the board.

00:50:41.000 Liberty, care and fairness for me are really, really high.

00:50:44.000 And I think that really makes sense.

00:50:45.000 I'm left leaning on a lot of policy issues, but I favor more liberty, which means I'm typically in opposition to the authoritarianism.

00:50:53.000 And then when it comes to the other moral foundations, I do have them more than the average liberal.

00:50:58.000 But watching Libertarians take the test, because some of these questions, like, I can't even say what some of the questions are.

00:51:05.000 Like, oh man, there's there's questions about incest?

00:51:08.000 Yes.

00:51:09.000 Oh, yeah.

00:51:10.000 And so Libertarians are like, zero on these other moral foundations and Liberty's 100 because they're like, I don't care what you do!

00:51:16.000 Get the government out!

00:51:17.000 And I'm like...

00:51:20.000 I don't know, I've got, yeah, because there's purity, there's loyalty, there's authority, liberty, care, and fairness, I think, are the, you know.

00:51:28.000 So purity is like, there's a reason for that moral foundation.

00:51:33.000 Because, and I was reading about it, I think purity has a lot to do with disease.

00:51:37.000 That people who didn't care about, like, debauchery would be more likely to spread diseases, so you end up with certain traditions emerging of being clean and being, you know, pure.

00:51:48.000 You can see that, like, in religion, like, not eating shellfish.

00:51:50.000 It's like, well, at that time that actually was a pretty, you know, brilliant suggestion.

00:51:53.000 And pork.

00:51:53.000 Yeah, and pork, yeah.

00:51:54.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:51:54.000 Which, you know, broken, but...

00:51:56.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:51:57.000 Well, now we've gotten better at, you know, cleaning and cooking and everything, so it's safer, but you can see those things still exist.

00:52:03.000 But I'll add one thing to this too.

00:52:05.000 You know, I don't know exactly what'll happen in terms of civil war, but I can say, if we have two distinct cultures forming in this country, laws cannot be enforced. 0.71

00:52:14.000 Period.

00:52:15.000 So the example I give is, I don't know if you've ever seen these books, it's like wacky laws the US still has.

00:52:19.000 Oh yeah, there's a million of them, yeah.

00:52:21.000 But why don't we enforce those laws?

00:52:22.000 Like, you can't take showers on Tuesdays in, you know, Rhode Island.

00:52:26.000 Yeah, we just know intuitively it's absurd and, I mean... At the time it made sense.

00:52:30.000 Yeah, at the time, yeah.

00:52:31.000 So, I'm not saying Rhode Island literally bans showers, but there are places in the East Coast that were like, you can't shower on Tuesdays.

00:52:36.000 Why?

00:52:36.000 Well, maybe because Tuesday was the day they allotted to the farmers to get access to the fresh water so they could, you know, farm their crops and you couldn't be... And then there's some things where it's like, you can't put pies on the windowsill on Sunday mornings.

00:52:49.000 Maybe it's because Sunday mornings is when the church would come, and it would attract animals, and then there'd be people around, and it would cause problems, and no more putting your food on the windowsills to cool, because the animals come, but now the animals are gone, and people are going to church less, and we have, you know, we just don't have that problem anymore.

00:53:05.000 So culturally, we just ignore that law.

00:53:09.000 Now what happens when you have two distinct cultures?

00:53:11.000 And then you have a law in the books, which is like guns.

00:53:13.000 It happens a lot, actually.

00:53:14.000 Yeah.

00:53:15.000 What's that law?

00:53:16.000 It's old, that old law that they were like, are they going to invoke the Insurrection Act?

00:53:20.000 Is that what it is?

00:53:21.000 Some old, old law.

00:53:22.000 Yeah.

00:53:23.000 About like not sending a spy overseas or something.

00:53:26.000 The Logan Act.

00:53:27.000 The guy that the act is actually named after lobbied a foreign government after the act was passed.

00:53:32.000 So it didn't even deter him when it was passed.

00:53:35.000 Yeah, they tried to get Michael Flynn on it.

00:53:37.000 And it makes no sense.

00:53:38.000 It's never been used.

00:53:39.000 Not to point my own work, but I did a book that was a section of it with one genome.

00:53:44.000 Isn't there an argument that Mark Milley may have violated the Logan Act?

00:53:49.000 He was discussing U.S.

00:53:52.000 military policy with foreign adversaries.

00:53:54.000 I would say yes, but it won't matter in that it's never been enforced.

00:53:59.000 And that's where it comes down to.

00:54:01.000 If Republicans actually had power—no, Republican's the wrong word.

00:54:05.000 Lindsey Graham wouldn't do anything. 0.54

00:54:06.000 If conservatives, Trump supporters, had power, Hillary Clinton would be indicted. 0.99

00:54:10.000 Uh, tons of the Russiagate people.

00:54:12.000 All these people who lied would be indicted, like, just across the board for all the lies they put out.

00:54:17.000 They'd find something.

00:54:18.000 You got that one lawyer who lied.

00:54:19.000 The Alphabank thing.

00:54:20.000 What's his name?

00:54:20.000 Sussman?

00:54:21.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:54:21.000 Is that his name?

00:54:22.000 Yeah, wow.

00:54:23.000 I mean, me and Bongino debunked that, like, four and a half years ago.

00:54:23.000 That's amazing.

00:54:25.000 And it's just funny, like, the news cycle where I'm going, oh, we were right about all that.

00:54:28.000 That's kind of a cool story.

00:54:30.000 So, a lawyer fabricated evidence. 0.98

00:54:32.000 He claimed that there was a server in a Trump tower that was communicating with a Russian bank called Alpha Bank, and it turned out to just be complete bullshit, basically. 0.94

00:54:42.000 And Hillary Clinton was tweeting it and John Podesta was tweeting it. 0.90

00:54:45.000 And all these journalists were like Trump's secret server.

00:54:47.000 And it was fake.

00:54:48.000 I mean, the whole the whole Michael Flynn with the Logan Act, he was called while he

00:54:52.000 was on vacation.

00:54:53.000 The people who called him knew his knew that they were going to.

00:54:57.000 Sorry, he knew he was going to be getting called by a Russian ambassador because he's

00:55:00.000 on vacation.

00:55:01.000 There's no way from the threat has caught being intercepted.

00:55:03.000 So the whole thing's getting recorded.

00:55:05.000 And then, you know, that's because what it led to is downfall under Trump.

00:55:08.000 And they started, like, mentioning the Logan Act.

00:55:10.000 And I'm going, well, why would you mention the Logan Act to get to take the sky down

00:55:13.000 when it's never been invoked?

00:55:15.000 Only if this whole thing was planned so you could try to find some sort of reason to get rid of the guy.

00:55:19.000 And it worked.

00:55:20.000 You look at everything we talked about already.

00:55:21.000 The border is so porous, illegal immigrants are going back and forth.

00:55:25.000 There's no border.

00:55:26.000 Biden's watching it crumble.

00:55:27.000 The economy's in shambles.

00:55:29.000 The separation of powers has completely gone.

00:55:33.000 And we had, in the past five years, fake indictments.

00:55:38.000 I mean, literally, against a political party, a political group, for the sake of power.

00:55:44.000 And we don't even really have three branches anymore.

00:55:46.000 Because, as we were talking about earlier, the CDC is just creating a lot of thin air in other agencies.

00:55:51.000 It's up to us to say, oh, actually, you can't do that.

00:55:53.000 And when the Supreme Court told Biden the eviction war time was illegal, he went,

00:55:56.000 I'll do it anyway. And the Supreme Court could do nothing to stop him.

00:55:59.000 So you look back at the Russiagate stuff, and I think a lot of people said the country was

00:56:04.000 done when that stuff came out. Michael Flynn goes to an informal meeting at the White House

00:56:09.000 and he gets asked, so did you talk to a Russian ambassador?

00:56:14.000 And he goes, no, no.

00:56:15.000 And they go, okay.

00:56:16.000 Then later they come back.

00:56:16.000 You lied to us.

00:56:18.000 That's a crime.

00:56:18.000 It was actually a bit more complicated than that.

00:56:21.000 So they bring him in for questioning.

00:56:23.000 As they're questioning him, they have a transcript.

00:56:25.000 I thought it was informal though.

00:56:26.000 Like it wasn't yeah, it was like two guys. It was Peter struck and someone else

00:56:29.000 So they bring him in for questioning. He didn't know he was being investigated

00:56:32.000 No, so he's bringing him for routine questioning and he did admit to the call

00:56:35.000 He told all the contents of the call and they as they're questioning him have a transcript of the call in front of

00:56:41.000 them Meaning they're not asking him to get the truth of what

00:56:44.000 happened They're trying to see if he's trying to deviate and then

00:56:46.000 they report back. No, there was no irregularities And then somehow in the chain of command that I have no

00:56:52.000 idea how it changes to he lied about his call Oh, no, the agents had no it's thing

00:56:57.000 You know and there was that document that came out where like clapper and Biden had a meeting and they were like

00:57:01.000 How can we get this guy? Yeah, it It was the Democratic Party, what they did with Russiagate, and what Vindman did with Ukraine.

00:57:09.000 These people are... Man, I don't know the right word.

00:57:14.000 It's sedition.

00:57:15.000 Honestly, when I first started writing Spygate, I was like, you know, this will be interesting, but it can't be that crazy.

00:57:21.000 And it turns out that the sort of type of politics you see in a movie is actually more real than you'd think.

00:57:28.000 Let's break this down.

00:57:29.000 Yeah.

00:57:30.000 Donald Trump is on the phone with the President of Ukraine and he says something off the cuff about like, you see this, what's this thing going on about Biden and this quid pro quo or something?

00:57:40.000 Why don't you guys look into that?

00:57:41.000 Trump clearly had no idea what he was talking about in this phone call.

00:57:43.000 But what happened was it was a viral video where Joe Biden's at, where was he at?

00:57:47.000 It wasn't the Council on Foreign Relations, no.

00:57:52.000 was the one where someone bragged that he was able to get the investigation.

00:57:52.000 I can't remember.

00:57:56.000 The event he was at, I can't remember the event.

00:57:57.000 I can't remember the event.

00:57:58.000 But he says...

00:57:59.000 Yeah, but he bragged about it.

00:58:00.000 I went to the president and said, look, if you don't fire the prosecutor, you're not getting

00:58:03.000 the money.

00:58:04.000 And he said, you don't have the authority to do that.

00:58:06.000 And he goes, call the president. 1.00

00:58:08.000 Well, son of a bitch. 1.00

00:58:08.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:58:09.000 Six hours later, prosecutors fired.

00:58:12.000 So Trump hears about this, asks the new Ukrainian president, like, well, look at this.

00:58:17.000 Joe Biden had not announced any political ambitions.

00:58:19.000 And then everyone said Trump was going after his political rival.

00:58:22.000 And we were like, but Biden's not running for president.

00:58:24.000 This call, I think, or I think that it was in September that Trump had this call and people were saying he threatened to withhold military aid.

00:58:32.000 But the military aid was actually, had been withheld since I think January or February for other reasons.

00:58:37.000 So here's what you need to understand, Ian.

00:58:39.000 Yeah, that was the Council on Foreign Relations.

00:58:40.000 Council on Foreign Relations, where he said it.

00:58:42.000 Biden admits, brags, that he said he would withhold foreign aid in exchange for getting a guy fired.

00:58:49.000 The media said, but we do this all the time.

00:58:51.000 We pressure countries for this reason.

00:58:53.000 So when Donald Trump says, I want you to investigate what happened with this, they called that a quid pro quo, even though Trump didn't ask for anything.

00:59:01.000 So here's what really happens.

00:59:03.000 They claim that Donald Trump was abusing his power by trying to use Ukraine to go after his political opponents.

00:59:11.000 What really happened was that Joe Biden shut down, whether on purpose or not, an investigation, multiple, many investigations, but some into Burisma, where his son happened to be on the board.

00:59:23.000 Mike Zlochevsky, the founder of Burisma, had fled Ukraine.

00:59:27.000 Biden comes in, gets the prosecutor fired.

00:59:29.000 Zlochevsky returns.

00:59:31.000 Trump comes back in and says, I want this investigated.

00:59:34.000 Zlochevsky flees again.

00:59:36.000 But the media comes out and says Trump was the criminal.

00:59:39.000 Joe Biden flew on Air Force Two with his son to China to negotiate a private equity deal.

00:59:44.000 But Trump's colluding with Russia.

00:59:46.000 Michael Flynn.

00:59:48.000 I think he was talking to Sally Yates.

00:59:50.000 Yes, she's the one who first pitched that maybe he voted for the Logan Act, leading me to believe she was sort of behind it.

00:59:55.000 Because he said, I think China is a greater adversary than Russia.

00:59:59.000 And then all of a sudden she was like, oh geez, oh no.

01:00:03.000 He's colluding with Russia, trying to downplay it. 0.51

01:00:06.000 The reality is, I think China, according to Mike Pompeo, has infiltrated every level of our country in a government.

01:00:12.000 That's what he said.

01:00:13.000 You've got the Thousand Talents program where they're actually hiring our own professors to give away our research back to them.

01:00:19.000 You've got Chinese individuals being caught carrying infectious diseases and bringing them illegally through the U.S. 1.00

01:00:27.000 And then strangely, when Michael Flynn says, I think China's a bigger threat, all of a sudden there's alarm bells going off in the Democratic Party, and they seek to then get indictments, and Russiagate was fake.

01:00:40.000 It was years where even I was like, well, this is interesting, we should absolutely look into this.

01:00:44.000 And then afterwards, it's over, Rachel Maddison, the Virgin Tears.

01:00:47.000 Listen, you didn't understand, when I say these people are evil, dude, and the NPC default liberals who line up behind them and in the millions to vote for them, because they're in this matrix, This is a whole new, this is a level of depravity that can't

01:00:59.000 be described in words.

01:01:00.000 Whole new paradigm.

01:01:01.000 After the Hillary emails came out, I was just like, gobsmacked. Gobsmacked at like the Sidney Blumenthal, Osprey

01:01:08.000 Global Solutions, Libya contracts, like that she was pushing for her buddy

01:01:12.000 Sidney. And nothing, you know?

01:01:14.000 And I was like, wow, Tyranny's real. But then Trump won. So I was like, oh, maybe Tyranny's not.

01:01:18.000 Oh, and then what did they do to him?

01:01:20.000 Oh, can I the first anti-war president of people's lives?

01:01:24.000 Look, can I can I just point out that?

01:01:27.000 Wouldn't it be wouldn't it?

01:01:29.000 Imagine you lived in a country and a high-ranking cabinet member in the executive branch had a nonprofit that was taking in millions of dollars from foreign governments.

01:01:29.000 Okay.

01:01:43.000 And the nonprofit was named after this individual in the cab, in the executive branch.

01:01:48.000 I mean, surely that would shock people to their cores when, say, like, imagine Saudi Arabia was giving tens of millions of dollars to this.

01:01:56.000 And we'll call it the Blinton Foundation, just as, you know, while they're... Just pick a name.

01:02:02.000 Secretary of State.

01:02:04.000 And we'll call it the Blinton Foundation.

01:02:08.000 And then as soon as this individual doesn't win the election, the donations fly out.

01:02:13.000 Very, very corrupt. 0.60

01:02:13.000 Very corrupt. 0.60

01:02:14.000 And that was the first time, the email scandal was the first time I saw it very clearly.

01:02:18.000 Because it was very obvious.

01:02:20.000 If you looked at the emails and you looked up Sidney Blumenthal and you wanted to look at like, she was directly instructed by Obama not to work with Sidney.

01:02:26.000 And she was just doing it because he was an old Clinton advisor.

01:02:28.000 For like 30 years he's worked with the Clintons.

01:02:30.000 It's terrifying.

01:02:32.000 Doesn't mean that it's impossible.

01:02:33.000 But I mean, cryptocurrency and the underground movement is very promising.

01:02:37.000 But politically, it's terrifying.

01:02:39.000 These are interesting times.

01:02:40.000 And the power is in the media, which is why shows like this are so cool.

01:02:40.000 Yeah.

01:02:44.000 Yeah, we're fighting an uphill battle, that's for sure.

01:02:46.000 But I will say, the challenge the establishment faces is that they're losing control.

01:02:53.000 So ultimately I think everything might lead to some kind of balkanization, regional breakups, and they can't do anything about it.

01:02:59.000 So earlier I saw you guys were doing the Fediverse meeting.

01:03:03.000 And I was talking to Andreas about it, so for those that aren't familiar, we pitched this idea.

01:03:07.000 Ian and the crew have been working on this with a big team.

01:03:10.000 The idea is to create an open source software that allows you to have your own website, social media present, subscription service that's networked, so no one can ban you anymore, because it's your website.

01:03:21.000 But your website does connect with the network, so if you go to my site, you can see a Twitter feed.

01:03:26.000 And each individual tweet comes from an individual's own private server, unbannable.

01:03:30.000 And so we talked about this, and I was like, sooner or later, someone's gotta try to shut this down, because this would, like, if we actually get to the point where we have mass adoption of, imagine you owned your own private Patreon, where you had subscription service, you could post a video feed, you could post tweets, and it would actually link, and people could follow you across different networks.

01:03:50.000 The technology already exists, it's called the Fediverse, Gab is on it.

01:03:53.000 And now we're ramping up and trying to create website applications that can be really easy for people to use.

01:03:58.000 Imagine we get to that point where the powers that be can no longer censor the news about Hunter Biden because the network is totally decentralized.

01:04:05.000 And I'm like, someone's going to have to try and stop that, right?

01:04:07.000 Because it usurps Facebook's power.

01:04:09.000 And then the conversation was just, how would you do it?

01:04:13.000 It's a decentralized project.

01:04:15.000 No one person is running it.

01:04:16.000 It's open source code.

01:04:18.000 Who do you go after to stop it?

01:04:19.000 You can't.

01:04:20.000 And because technology already exists, they can't stop crypto either.

01:04:23.000 There's nothing they can do.

01:04:25.000 Ultimately, the end result is going to be that they lose the ability to manipulate the media.

01:04:30.000 They lose the ability to create the propaganda.

01:04:33.000 And then it's just free-for-all.

01:04:36.000 The only thing I think they do with crypto is sort of on the, I guess, when you're cashing out, is you would need to go through a legitimate brokerage to convert to cash.

01:04:43.000 But if you're never, if you're never going to convert to cash, you don't.

01:04:45.000 Yeah.

01:04:46.000 You know, you use like tethers or not tether.

01:04:48.000 I think they're kind of fraudulent.

01:04:49.000 I think Bitcoin is one of the pegs.

01:04:51.000 Bitcoin is a legal currency in El Salvador.

01:04:54.000 You don't need to go through.

01:04:55.000 If you have crypto and the crypto has value, that's it.

01:04:57.000 Look, we got these little obsidian rocks that you bought.

01:05:00.000 I love these things.

01:05:01.000 Yeah.

01:05:02.000 If this is value enough for you, I can trade it with you and I've got to go now.

01:05:02.000 We all got one in our hands.

01:05:06.000 We should make an NFT of it.

01:05:08.000 Ian's Obsidian Stones NFT.

01:05:09.000 I'm very excited about the future of NFTs.

01:05:11.000 The NFT revolution is upon us.

01:05:13.000 It's like how cool Bitcoin was in 2011.

01:05:15.000 So if you're paying attention to NFTs now, keep paying attention.

01:05:18.000 Get involved.

01:05:19.000 I mean, it's just a new form of data transmission.

01:05:22.000 I like it.

01:05:22.000 What's it called?

01:05:23.000 Like ER17 or something?

01:05:24.000 Yeah, it's ERC170, is it?

01:05:28.000 It's not ERC20.

01:05:29.000 It's a different kind of ERC token.

01:05:30.000 NFTs are going to be awesome because we're talking, we're talking, we have a top secret project that we're, we're creating.

01:05:36.000 And the idea is NFTs are unique, non-copyable digital assets, non-fungible.

01:05:42.000 So this means that we're going to be able to create digital hard assets that are completely unique.

01:05:48.000 And so we're working on some projects.

01:05:50.000 As for like people posting photos and then selling it for 50 grand, I'm like, that's right.

01:05:53.000 I just don't get who these people are buying it.

01:05:56.000 I assume it could just be some guy who made a bajillion dollars in Bitcoin and is just... Yeah, where do you spend your crypto?

01:06:03.000 Well, on NFTs, basically.

01:06:05.000 That's one way to spend your crypto.

01:06:07.000 Or to trade your crypto, basically.

01:06:09.000 You know, just in line with what we were saying about the country breaking apart with crypto, No one needs the Federal Reserve.

01:06:17.000 And not only that, El Salvador was one of the smartest things a country could have done, especially a country not as wealthy as, say, the United States.

01:06:26.000 Because now that they're getting all of their citizenry to use Bitcoin, Bitcoin is going to keep going up in value.

01:06:31.000 It's also helping them, too, because their economy is dollarized, and they're constantly losing dollars due to imports versus exports, and they can't print any more money.

01:06:41.000 So this kind of also works around that problem for them.

01:06:42.000 Well, they can't print Bitcoin.

01:06:44.000 Yeah, yeah, but the thing is when a citizen holds 0.1 Bitcoin because they're planning on using it and the next day bitcoins up 10% Yeah, they got richer.

01:06:52.000 Yeah, and so it's like imagine how well off the citizens are gonna be now Yeah, because they're gonna get paychecks in Bitcoin They kind of get on the ground floor of all the countries are gonna follow a lead I assume What concerns me is when you see the entire crypto space, the two trillion cap, dip by 40%, all of it, over the course of three weeks, like it's driven down 30%, 40% because some big, probably governments, Chinese governments, American governments, are selling it and selling it and selling it and make it want to drop.

01:07:17.000 And then as soon as it drops, they buy it all.

01:07:19.000 All these poor people thought they were losing their money.

01:07:21.000 It's not as bad though as when you sell it and then it goes up 40 or 50%.

01:07:25.000 Right, exactly.

01:07:26.000 It's being manipulated heavily.

01:07:28.000 And that's bad for the poor people.

01:07:29.000 But these people got to learn, and we keep saying it, when there was that last big crash from $60 to $30, most of the sales were a couple hundred bucks.

01:07:37.000 It was the poor people cashing out, panicking.

01:07:39.000 I actually bought Bitcoin.

01:07:40.000 It crashed to $30, and then Paul Krugman wrote an article about why you should never buy Bitcoin.

01:07:45.000 I went, all right, I'm in.

01:07:46.000 Yeah, he's wrote a lot of those.

01:07:48.000 Yeah, I should.

01:07:48.000 I should.

01:07:48.000 If I took his advice, you know, 10 years ago, I would be much wealthier.

01:07:52.000 Max Geyser, man.

01:07:53.000 He told me when Bitcoin was like at a couple bucks.

01:07:56.000 Yeah, me too.

01:07:57.000 He's like, you gotta buy Bitcoin.

01:07:58.000 I'm telling you, Tim, you want to be rich.

01:08:00.000 Hang out with me.

01:08:00.000 And I was like, OK, Max.

01:08:01.000 I was up on a roof in Brooklyn with Bill and a couple other guys.

01:08:04.000 And one of the guys was saying, dude, the next big one's Ethereum.

01:08:07.000 You got to get into Ethereum.

01:08:08.000 And we're like, what's what's OK?

01:08:09.000 I looked and I was like, I waited a couple of weeks.

01:08:11.000 I was like, oh, it's 10 bucks already.

01:08:13.000 It's too late.

01:08:13.000 I can't get into it.

01:08:14.000 Yeah, I know.

01:08:15.000 It just didn't didn't click until a couple of years later.

01:08:17.000 Bill Ottman was here, I think, in like November, right?

01:08:20.000 Bitcoin was at $13K, Ethereum was at $1,000, and Bill was like, you should buy Ethereum.

01:08:25.000 And I was like, you think?

01:08:26.000 He's like, you should get some.

01:08:27.000 And I'm like, okay.

01:08:28.000 And then I bought a bunch, and now it's at like $3, $3.5 or whatever.

01:08:32.000 Yeah, because Ethereum is... NFTs, like Ethereum is... Ethereum is the evolution of Bitcoin.

01:08:38.000 Some friends and I actually started one as a joke, and it has a $1.4 million market cap.

01:08:43.000 But it's so misleading because there's like 30 grand in liquidity so like obviously it's not, you know, you could sell through it but on paper it's worth like 1.5 million.

01:08:51.000 So I own, I have some Doge because it's fun.

01:08:56.000 I have Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano.

01:08:58.000 I own like Uniswap, SushiSwap, and then basically all the tokens that are exchanges.

01:09:06.000 My logic was like, well, even if the coins go down, as long as there's volume, the exchanges are making money.

01:09:12.000 Uniswap I own a lot of.

01:09:13.000 There's so much money in Uniswap, people don't understand.

01:09:16.000 When you open these apps like Coinbase, it's like you can earn interest on your crypto.

01:09:21.000 It's insane.

01:09:22.000 So for those that don't understand, you basically have crypto.

01:09:25.000 In exchange, the Winklevoss twins started. 0.97

01:09:27.000 They're giving you like 7% on their Gemini dollar.

01:09:30.000 I don't get how that's even possible.

01:09:32.000 So it's really, no, no, no, it's really, really simple.

01:09:35.000 So for those that don't understand, you basically, you have crypto.

01:09:39.000 You can stake it being like, let me put my cryptocurrency into your pool,

01:09:44.000 which allows them to do transactions.

01:09:46.000 Yeah, that's how AORUS works.

01:09:47.000 They need liquidity.

01:09:49.000 When the transaction happens, you get a fee, just like an ATM machine.

01:09:53.000 So, you know, I was actually talking to my accountant, and I was like, it's kind of like an ATM.

01:09:57.000 Someone comes in, and they punch in their keys, and they take cash out, and then I get a fee on it.

01:10:02.000 So, this is huge.

01:10:02.000 on it. I get a fee on it. So this is create it's this is huge. It's going to make a lot

01:10:07.000 of working class people. I'm not going to say rich but comfortable.

01:10:12.000 Yeah.

01:10:13.000 So like the stories of people who start with start small and just keep putting more crypto back into the system and they're building up that portfolio.

01:10:20.000 It's kind of crazy because so long as the it's like basically the power of the central banks in the hands of regular people and decentralized.

01:10:28.000 So now the money transactions and printing and.

01:10:32.000 It's just mind-blowing.

01:10:32.000 It's just mind day trading because it never ends.

01:10:35.000 It's 24 seven trading.

01:10:36.000 Like if you're a 14 year old and you want, you get some money, you want to

01:10:38.000 day trade addicts is the best thing.

01:10:40.000 You can easily increase your like 30% your profits.

01:10:43.000 And just by looking at trends and reading white papers and seeing what's

01:10:46.000 the next big cool currency, I am not advising anyone to do anything, but.

01:10:50.000 I would be willing to bet if there was a 14 year old right now who was given

01:10:55.000 like a hundred bucks by their grandpa and put it into one of these systems and kept

01:11:00.000 putting all of their their fees back in by the time they're 20 to be a millionaire.

01:11:03.000 Eric Finman, the guy who started the Freedom Phone, that is him.

01:11:06.000 That's him.

01:11:06.000 That's exactly right.

01:11:07.000 Yeah, I think he'd be like a grand or two and now has like, you know, probably like $10 million.

01:11:10.000 Something very high in the millions.

01:11:12.000 is if you're paying attention you can really take the light because it's always up down up down and i mean you just follow those leaps you have the bitcoin you put it into usd coin when it drops it is hard you gotta it's a giant i think for the average person i think just buy and hold just because you'll go you know insane right but there's a million what they can do i mean i tried that and uh I was day trading for a while, but it became very exhausting because it's a lot of work.

01:11:35.000 The Uniswap stuff is where the real opportunity is.

01:11:39.000 There's risk because you're staking your coins to someone else's pool and it could go belly up.

01:11:46.000 Well, that's how it works.

01:11:47.000 So we had to put our own money into the pool with our own token.

01:11:51.000 And I mean, our own coin is sort of thus dependent on the value of Ethereum.

01:11:55.000 You have to match it to create value.

01:11:57.000 And of course, I can just sell all the way through if I want to.

01:12:00.000 So yeah, it's risky obviously, but it pays off.

01:12:01.000 So if you find a good utility token with Ethereum and you put it into Uniswap, then you're set.

01:12:09.000 So it's basically, you bought an ATM.

01:12:11.000 That's right.

01:12:12.000 Imagine if you had 50 grand, you bought an ATM, you need another, I don't know, an ATM probably costs like 20, 30 grand, then you need 40 grand to fill it.

01:12:19.000 You're spending $70,000, you put the ATM in a bar, and then you're just getting free money.

01:12:24.000 Yeah.

01:12:25.000 Could we get an ATM here?

01:12:27.000 Why?

01:12:27.000 Technically?

01:12:28.000 We could all buy Bitcoin ATMs.

01:12:32.000 Yeah.

01:12:33.000 That's why Ethereum is so cool is because the Ethereum network is very, very heavily utilized.

01:12:38.000 And you use Ethereum to cover the gas fee, which is the transaction fee.

01:12:42.000 So Ethereum is massively utilized.

01:12:43.000 People, I think, what did Max say?

01:12:45.000 Like 200k in Bitcoin by the end of the year?

01:12:48.000 I'm wondering if we're still going to hit that.

01:12:49.000 I don't think by the end of this year, but I think it will get there.

01:12:52.000 I mean, somebody did the math and like there's not enough millionaire, or what's a stat?

01:12:56.000 Like there's so many millionaires in the world that each can't own one full Bitcoin.

01:12:59.000 You want to know something funny?

01:13:00.000 Yeah.

01:13:01.000 If I invested my money in Bitcoin when Max Keiser told me to, I would be a billionaire.

01:13:05.000 With a B. Wow.

01:13:05.000 Whoa!

01:13:06.000 I'm not kidding.

01:13:07.000 There was a crypto Shiba.

01:13:08.000 It was like one of those Doge Nuggets.

01:13:10.000 So I put three grand in.

01:13:10.000 Right.

01:13:12.000 Four days later, it's like 60 grand. 1.00

01:13:14.000 So I'm like, yeah, fuck you, I'm going to cash out. 0.99

01:13:16.000 If I held it another three weeks, it would have been like one or two million or something. 1.00

01:13:20.000 Wow.

01:13:20.000 And I'm like, you know what?

01:13:22.000 That's garbage. 1.00

01:13:23.000 You can't be mad at yourself. 1.00

01:13:24.000 The way I view it is this.

01:13:24.000 No, no, no.

01:13:26.000 So there's this game I saw online.

01:13:28.000 It's like some gambling game where the way it works is like you put in money, and then for every second that goes on, you get a multiplier.

01:13:34.000 So it could be like, after two seconds, you get double your money.

01:13:36.000 For three seconds, triple.

01:13:38.000 But then it will go to zero at any random point. 0.89

01:13:40.000 I think that analogy works for this sort of high-risk trading, where it's like, because it could be so easily lost, you really can't kick yourself when it does take off after you sell, because, you know, if you're playing that literal gambling game and you sold off, you turn a grand into twenty grand, you could kind of be an idiot to keep holding it, knowing you could easily get it out to zero.

01:13:58.000 So, maybe that's just what I tell myself to, you know, not go criminally insane, but that's sort of how I see it.

01:14:03.000 I remember Max used to, on his show, he would talk about all the different altcoins and stuff that existed at the time, and he was very big on a lot of them.

01:14:10.000 Now he hates them all, and he's like, Bitcoin is the only true coin.

01:14:14.000 But I've known Max for a minute, and he was pushing Bitcoin in the very early stages.

01:14:19.000 Granted, at the time, he was also pushing other coins, saying that these looked promising for certain reasons.

01:14:25.000 So what happens is, in the early days of Bitcoin, it was like nothing.

01:14:28.000 It was this weird internet thing.

01:14:29.000 People were confused by it.

01:14:31.000 Once it got its first boost of popularity, people started cloning it.

01:14:34.000 There was a bunch of different versions that tried tweaking different things about it, like it'll produce slightly more, or slightly less, or work slightly faster, or take less energy.

01:14:42.000 And there were a few that required substantially less energy, and that seemed to make more sense.

01:14:47.000 So Max was big on those.

01:14:49.000 But he had been, you know, so look, I had my savings back during those early days, and if I just put it all in Bitcoin at the time, Bitcoin was at a couple bucks.

01:15:00.000 The thing is, I tell myself, like, oh, I invested in Bitcoin when I heard about it in, what was it, 2012?

01:15:04.000 We would have sold out.

01:15:05.000 That's the thing.

01:15:06.000 It would have went from $2 to $20, and then I would have wanted to, you know, commit suicide the remaining $20 to $60,000.

01:15:12.000 There was a point where I had, like, $20 Bitcoin or whatever, and I was like, yeah!

01:15:16.000 And I cashed it all out for, like, $400.

01:15:17.000 And, like, I high-fived my friend.

01:15:19.000 And then I was like, let's go, I'm taking you guys out to eat, let's do this!

01:15:22.000 I saw this thing, it was this Twitter account, it's called like, Poorly Aged Things.

01:15:25.000 It was like a scoreboard for some video game tournament.

01:15:27.000 It was like, first place, a thousand bucks, and you get into 10th place, and it's 10 free bitcoin.

01:15:31.000 No, it was like, first place is like a thousand, second place 500, and then it was like, fourth and fifth were 25 bitcoin.

01:15:36.000 Yeah, yeah, that was it.

01:15:39.000 But you know, if people actually invested and understood investment, they'd be better off regardless.

01:15:44.000 People don't understand the value of like to invest.

01:15:47.000 And they, you know, when I see my friends and they're like, I got paid, let's go spend it on drinks and partying.

01:15:52.000 And I'm like, if you buy something, you have the something.

01:15:56.000 It would be cool if you could not, you don't really have to build a school, but just build some sort of curriculum where you you're able to teach kids economics.

01:16:02.000 And the thing is, there's a lot of apps now that kind of automate it, where you can just take a hundred bucks out of every check and put it in, so you don't even have to think about it anymore, you can just kind of have it be on the back end.

01:16:10.000 I think this Uniswap stuff, I think Uniswap's huge.

01:16:13.000 I'll say this though, so I always say this as a disclosure, Doge, I don't think, is going to make me rich.

01:16:20.000 I just think it's funny, and so I have some.

01:16:23.000 Bitcoin is going to skyrocket in value.

01:16:25.000 I think a Bitcoin is worth a million bucks.

01:16:26.000 Ethereum, I don't know where its cap is, but there is a finite amount of Ethereum, I believe, correct?

01:16:31.000 I think so, yeah.

01:16:32.000 And we have a general idea of the amount, but we don't know the exact number, so I think Ethereum can reach a certain level.

01:16:37.000 Cardano is, I think there's like, what, 10 times more Cardano or something like that?

01:16:43.000 I have Cardano as well, because one of the guys was involved with Ethereum.

01:16:47.000 And so these are evolutions on Bitcoin that are going to allow so much.

01:16:50.000 So I also have some Cardano, because I think Cardano is going to skyrocket.

01:16:54.000 There's 32 billion Cardanos, and it looks like it's going to end up at about 45 billion somewhere.

01:16:58.000 There's 117 million Ethereums, but there's no end cap for those.

01:17:02.000 We talked about this, and I think you and I were saying we think Cardano would be like 30 bucks.

01:17:06.000 If you, if you measure the value of a token against, so I go to this thing called coinmarketcap.com.

01:17:06.000 Yeah.

01:17:11.000 And if you look at Bitcoin and how many 18 million of them, and then you look at Cardano and there's 32 billion.

01:17:16.000 So you do the math, you divide 32 billion by 18 million, and then you see.

01:17:19.000 But they're different.

01:17:21.000 Cardano is much like Ethereum.

01:17:23.000 It's providing the backbone for a lot of new software.

01:17:25.000 Then you start to take into account the utility and that's when things break the mold.

01:17:25.000 Right.

01:17:28.000 So it's not just, it's not just one on one to one ratio.

01:17:31.000 How much Ethereum exists?

01:17:33.000 117 million ish.

01:17:34.000 Right.

01:17:35.000 So I think, what do we say?

01:17:36.000 It's like 30 times.

01:17:38.000 So it's probably gonna be like 10 bucks.

01:17:39.000 I think Cardano.

01:17:40.000 Oh, Cardano, what it would be, what you could measure it to be valued for?

01:17:43.000 When Cardano is fully launched and operating like Ethereum, it'll be like, what, 10 bucks per trillion?

01:17:47.000 Yeah, you do like 2,000.

01:17:48.000 If Cardano was How do you do this?

01:17:52.000 But also, but also spot I'm not doing the math.

01:17:55.000 The point is there's substantially more Cardano.

01:17:55.000 Right. Right. Right. Right.

01:17:58.000 So it's going to be worth substantially less.

01:18:00.000 Yeah. But it's like we haven't really don't get that right.

01:18:03.000 Right. Because the circulation is massive.

01:18:06.000 It's just how inflation works as well or partly.

01:18:07.000 So they're going to be cardinals should be worth like a thousandth of a Bitcoin at any given moment or like less 1.00

01:18:12.000 than that.

01:18:13.000 Because there's a thousand.

01:18:15.000 There's a thousand times more of an equal market cap.

01:18:17.000 It would be if they each have equal utility.

01:18:20.000 But like you said, Cardano has a different utility.

01:18:21.000 So you take the utility into effect.

01:18:23.000 Ten bucks like mine's token.

01:18:24.000 You put one token on the network.

01:18:25.000 You get a thousand views.

01:18:26.000 That utility adds value to the other thing is with.

01:18:28.000 So we had a conversation about this like a week ago, and it was like, we ultimately came to like, if we are going to randomly just throw darts at the board and try and think of what it might end up being based on the volume of it, utility of it, Bitcoin's going to keep going to value, Ethereum and Cardano have utility, Cardano ends up around $30.

01:18:46.000 So I was like, I like what they've talked about doing.

01:18:49.000 I like what they're doing.

01:18:50.000 I've heard a little bit about what they're doing.

01:18:52.000 And I'm like, I gotta be honest, I don't know everything about it.

01:18:55.000 I know Ethereum works.

01:18:56.000 I know it's made a bunch of stuff we're working on possible.

01:18:58.000 It helps what Mines is doing, makes it possible with utility tokens.

01:19:02.000 And if they're going to offer up a competitor to that, I think it's going to drive up the value.

01:19:05.000 The Cardano?

01:19:06.000 Yeah.

01:19:06.000 Yeah, he did the math right.

01:19:07.000 Measuring it as it stands, you'd think it'd be like $35, something like that.

01:19:11.000 And it's at what?

01:19:12.000 $2.50?

01:19:12.000 Yeah.

01:19:12.000 $2.30.

01:19:13.000 So not advice to anybody because we're literally just making up numbers at this point.

01:19:17.000 Correct.

01:19:18.000 But I look at Bitcoin as decentralized transfer of value, which is tremendous.

01:19:23.000 And then Ethereum and Cardano and any other token are like investing in the network.

01:19:27.000 And I love investing in the network because I'm not even super concerned with the value of it monetarily.

01:19:33.000 It's the value of it socially.

01:19:35.000 What can it do for us?

01:19:36.000 How can it cut out the middleman?

01:19:38.000 How can it speed up transactions?

01:19:39.000 How can it give you more reach on a social network?

01:19:41.000 Those are the things I love, like the library token.

01:19:43.000 I'll tell you this, maybe this is what the Davos types want.

01:19:48.000 They don't want a Federal Reserve.

01:19:49.000 They don't want a central bank.

01:19:50.000 They want completely decentralized systems that create global currency.

01:19:55.000 Look at Bitcoin.

01:19:57.000 It's a global value network.

01:19:59.000 So you can send money from here to China just like that.

01:20:03.000 I've got a sneaking suspicion we're all going to have our own crypto in the future.

01:20:06.000 Everyone will have their own, kind of like a social security number.

01:20:08.000 And then if you have people buy your services, if they use your token to buy it, you can give them a discount.

01:20:12.000 I basically have that, but no one uses it.

01:20:14.000 Oh, you have your own token?

01:20:16.000 Yeah, it's a highly regarded token.

01:20:18.000 It's a joke.

01:20:19.000 I mean, our stock ticker is RTRD.

01:20:23.000 And I, dude, I'm so angry.

01:20:25.000 I ordered custom RTRD clothing for you guys, but it didn't ship in time.

01:20:29.000 Oh, I'll wear it when it comes.

01:20:31.000 I'm not kidding.

01:20:32.000 It's been at like stuck in the same shipping facility two miles from my house, like four days in a row.

01:20:32.000 I'll get it to you guys.

01:20:37.000 And I'm like, all right, I'll get it over somehow.

01:20:39.000 Blame the COVID.

01:20:40.000 Yeah, so anyway.

01:20:41.000 Yeah, you can easily make your own token and just... Oh, my friend did it in like 20 minutes, and then we raised money for the pool, and I don't know how we raised money.

01:20:51.000 We literally put out on a Medium page, like, hey, send us money at this link and we'll give you our new coin.

01:20:59.000 And it looks like a scam, obviously it was not.

01:21:01.000 People did, we raised like 30 grand in a week, and then we just put it all into the pool.

01:21:04.000 Well, so this is one of the big challenges the SEC is not happy with, is people are using these tokens effectively as fundraising venues, like shares.

01:21:12.000 Right.

01:21:13.000 And so you're basically telling people, you'll get this empty thing in exchange for money, so that we can fund the business.

01:21:19.000 So all the people that bought our pre-ICO, I mean, can sell at any time, there's enough liquidity to make all of them whole.

01:21:25.000 So anytime they want to get out, they could.

01:21:27.000 All you gotta do is pay your sales tax on it.

01:21:29.000 And you're literally just selling the digital asset.

01:21:32.000 It's not an investment in the company.

01:21:33.000 You pay your taxes on that.

01:21:35.000 It's like, if we sold these, if we made a thousand little rocks and sold them, we'd pay our taxes on it.

01:21:39.000 If I can make a million tokens and sell them, you just pay the sales tax on them.

01:21:43.000 There you go.

01:21:45.000 And if each token can get you a little cartoon beanie.

01:21:47.000 Hell yeah. 0.96

01:21:51.000 I think that whole market stuff is ridiculous. 0.90

01:21:52.000 It's funny, but it is effective.

01:21:54.000 And it feels like to me, I really, and I've said this a lot in the last week, it feels like what Bitcoin felt like in 2011.

01:22:00.000 So made up, basically.

01:22:01.000 Yeah.

01:22:02.000 No one understands it yet.

01:22:03.000 It seems cheap, but it's going to be a trillion dollar industry.

01:22:05.000 Yeah, it's somehow, but yeah.

01:22:07.000 Digital art, man.

01:22:08.000 People don't want to go out of their house.

01:22:10.000 Well, maybe they do.

01:22:10.000 So I'll say this, though.

01:22:11.000 If I did listen to Max and, like, legitimately listen to him, buy it and keep it, yeah, I'd be a billionaire.

01:22:17.000 I'd be a millionaire if I bought NFT of a blank space.

01:22:22.000 There was this thing back in the day, I don't know if you heard of it, where a guy had a million pixels, and he sold a pixel for a dollar each.

01:22:29.000 And it was a website with a million pixels, and then people would buy, like, I want 100 pixels, and they would put their art there.

01:22:35.000 I made a million there's actually people who do there's a whole website here where it's called where they buy famous

01:22:40.000 art pieces Like worth tens of millions of dollars and they issue

01:22:43.000 cryptocurrency on the art and you can buy up like shares of it

01:22:47.000 Yeah, you can buy a share. It's like a famous painting and then then you get voting rights

01:22:51.000 So if they get a bid in for the painting you get a guy's gonna vote if you're gonna sell Wow

01:22:54.000 Stock on object. Yeah, but I think I remember I signed up for it

01:22:57.000 But I think you needed like tens of thousands of dollars and it takes years for them to so I wonder if we can issue

01:23:04.000 Stock on Ian. Oh, I was just saying that stock on people When's that coming?

01:23:08.000 AOC was who I was thinking of, actually.

01:23:10.000 Yeah, there's some guy that's an Archibald who's sold shares in his life and has to do whatever they tell him.

01:23:10.000 They tried that.

01:23:15.000 No, no, no.

01:23:15.000 They were out to vote, but he had majority control, I think.

01:23:20.000 Ah, well then you don't owe him anything, I guess.

01:23:22.000 Well, but you know, it was like he would take into consideration their votes on what he should be doing and they earned dividends.

01:23:27.000 So when he would get a job and it would pay him a hundred bucks, then he'd pay out 20%.

01:23:32.000 If someone bought stock in your life and then as you went on, you, they got dividends throughout your life.

01:23:38.000 Talk about a support.

01:23:39.000 They would support you forever.

01:23:40.000 Yeah, but talk about nightmarish.

01:23:42.000 I know, that's bizarre.

01:23:43.000 Like some young 18-year-old kid, he's poor and desperate and he's like, I'll sell you 50% for a thousand, please man, I'm gonna be homeless.

01:23:50.000 And then he's like a tech CEO and there's like this evil guy like behind him like, I control everything.

01:23:55.000 Maybe you could legally cap it so you can't sell more than 1% of your own stock.

01:23:58.000 I don't think you should be able to sell any of it because what happens then, rich people would buy up from young people and then creating indentured servants.

01:24:06.000 Not 1% from everybody.

01:24:07.000 Like I said, young, desperate people.

01:24:09.000 And then when they're older, I mean, that's basically what college is doing.

01:24:13.000 There actually are services where you can get a student loan and they get a percentage of your income instead of you taking debt, which Stossel did a segment on it.

01:24:21.000 It makes a lot more sense, but they do cap it at a certain amount.

01:24:24.000 And if you're unemployed, you don't have to pay anything.

01:24:25.000 That makes sense.

01:24:27.000 Yeah, maybe that's better.

01:24:28.000 Do you guys want to cover the Soros book at all?

01:24:30.000 Oh yeah, let's bring it up.

01:24:31.000 This is your new book.

01:24:31.000 Let's talk about it.

01:24:32.000 Yeah, so I'll give you kind of an overview of how it came about.

01:24:32.000 Tell me about it.

01:24:35.000 And then, you know, I'll go over the contents and all that.

01:24:37.000 So I've been... The first book I did with my current publisher was called Spygate.

01:24:42.000 Oh, see, I should probably speak into the mic.

01:24:44.000 So it was called Spygate.

01:24:44.000 Get close.

01:24:45.000 Me, Dan Mangino, and another woman named Denise McAllister wrote it.

01:24:48.000 And it was...

01:24:50.000 I mean, it covers all the Russiagate stuff.

01:24:51.000 It starts pre-election, and then it goes into sort of the Mueller special counsel.

01:24:55.000 He made it into a trilogy, so he did two books after that on his own.

01:24:59.000 One that's more old special counsel stuff, and then the last, which is just sort of everything after that.

01:25:04.000 So there's a chapter in the third book in the series called, or I can't remember the name of the chapter, but it has a lot to do with Ukraine and the whole impeachment hoax.

01:25:12.000 And there was some sort of like Soros ties into that chapter.

01:25:15.000 So there's a number of Ukrainian anti-corruption organizations that are Soros backed that were actually cited in the whistleblower complaint.

01:25:22.000 And then a lot of like the sort of swampish characters in the impeachment saga are connected to U.S.

01:25:29.000 institutions obviously that are also sort of tied in with Soros.

01:25:32.000 So he pitched the idea of doing a book where that was sort of going to be our starting point was let's try to do a book based out of that section of his last book.

01:25:41.000 So I put together a pretty lengthy chapter, I think it was like 15,000 words, which is, you know, I'd say half the length of a very short book.

01:25:48.000 But obviously that itself is not going to be a book.

01:25:51.000 And, you know, it was really as much as I could do was that much, given the content, or given what was available.

01:25:56.000 So it just became a question of, like, well, what do I want people to know about this George Soros guy?

01:26:00.000 And I sort of settled on everything.

01:26:02.000 So I started just by making it into more or less a critical biography.

01:26:05.000 So I started out by just giving, you know, an overview of this guy's life.

01:26:08.000 Um, who he is in his own words, where he came from, how he made all his money, um, what it was that made him want to go into politics and influence that.

01:26:15.000 Um, and then each chapter is just sort of a, um, I mean, I try to make it like a biography slash novel slash reference book.

01:26:22.000 So each chapter is just a different facet of life.

01:26:25.000 So we'll have one called Soros in the Media, and it's just, here's every, literally every person in the media I could find that Soros is connected to either, um, that he's associated with publicly, that, That have worked for his foundations to varying degrees, and here's where they work today, and it's places like the LA Times, and NPR, and the Washington Post, and MSNBC, and CNN, and pretty much every quote-unquote mainstream place you could list.

01:26:48.000 And then it's just doing that for everything else, so I do one on his quest to sort of infiltrate higher education.

01:26:53.000 I guess in his view, college isn't liberal enough, so he's trying to sort of... Actually, this is a more recent end-of-life sort of thing he's doing, is he's been creating his own network of colleges internationally.

01:27:03.000 And his dates actually back to the 80s. He started a college

01:27:06.000 Called Central European University in Hungary was later expelled from Hungary and is now in Vienna

01:27:11.000 But he's sort of starting to build a network around that in recent years

01:27:15.000 And then I just do this for everything. So I found for instance

01:27:19.000 I have a whole chapter on leaked Soros documents from wiki leaks and DC leaks and just everything to be gleaned from

01:27:25.000 them Then it's connections and like just randomly, you know,

01:27:28.000 what's what's his goal?

01:27:30.000 Well, it's to a large extent. It's it seems to be influence for the sake of influence. He

01:27:35.000 He is one of those people that the, you know, not to sound like Ted Kaczynski or anything, but the power process is very important to him.

01:27:42.000 In his own words, too, he describes himself as an egomaniac.

01:27:45.000 He says he wants his views to be the conscience of the world.

01:27:48.000 And it just seems like, from his perspective, he just kind of gets off on influencing things.

01:27:53.000 You know, the most interesting thing about the book, too, is like, I know it's going to be called the hit piece, but most of the negative stuff that I say about Soros and his personality is quoted from him.

01:28:03.000 I read all the guys' books in preparation for the book.

01:28:06.000 My own book, I mean.

01:28:08.000 The only thing he's walked back on was there was a very, I guess, infamous or famous interview he did with 60 Minutes back in the 90s, where he admits to working with one of the Nazis' Jewish councils back in Hungary, you know, serving deportation papers to Jews, telling them their goods are going to be confiscated.

01:28:27.000 Sociopathically says that it's something he never felt any guilt over.

01:28:30.000 That's the one thing he sort of tried to reverse course on.

01:28:34.000 And if you ever do a Google search for that interview, they're always playing cover saying, oh, it's actually not really what he said.

01:28:40.000 The interview is actually kind of hard to come by online, too.

01:28:42.000 So, I mean, I'm not saying he's the kind of guy who's got legal resources.

01:28:46.000 I'm not saying he's censoring the internet.

01:28:47.000 However, he has a lot of influence, and he easily could reduce its reach tremendously.

01:28:51.000 So I actually found the transcript, and it's more or less exactly what he says.

01:28:55.000 And not only did I find the transcript, George Soros' father wrote an autobiography.

01:29:00.000 He talks about the same influence, and it said that his son seemed to enjoy it, and he tried to dissuade him from it.

01:29:04.000 Do you remember when, I think it was Newt Gingrich was on Fox?

01:29:08.000 And he mentioned, like, George Soros funded these DAs.

01:29:10.000 And Fox was like, we don't accept that.

01:29:12.000 You can't say that.

01:29:13.000 So they had to apologize.

01:29:14.000 Yeah, the only other two people I had review the book besides Dan were Newt Gingrich and Steve Bannon, actually.

01:29:19.000 And Gingrich obviously liked it, and I'm sure I'll make a joke about his Fox appearance next time I see him, or talk to him.

01:29:25.000 But yeah, that was very odd.

01:29:26.000 I mean, I'm actually going to be on Fox, hopefully, to talk about the book.

01:29:29.000 So hopefully they'll let me talk about it.

01:29:33.000 But yeah, that's just a sort of general overview of the whole thing.

01:29:36.000 Is it out now?

01:29:37.000 So it should be out in December.

01:29:40.000 Potentially might get delayed because so we're nervous that we're gonna get sued not like a legit case but just to sort of f with us and cause us money because the libel laws are such like I can literally accuse this guy of murder in the book and I can't I would win a lawsuit just because of how high profile he is.

01:29:57.000 But anyway we're still doing a legal review just to like get even that possibility out of the way. 0.89

01:30:01.000 And the lawyer like I'm sort of paraphrasing but he was like really good book interesting really well researched Um, you're enough of a dick where it could get you sued.

01:30:11.000 So I have to, they highlight it all and I have to, you know, undickify the book.

01:30:15.000 But, you know, hopefully it won't get delayed more than a week or two.

01:30:17.000 Are people able to pre-order it?

01:30:18.000 Yeah, so it's on Amazon and Marts & Noble, and then I think all those other random sites like Books a Million or Target, it's probably on there too, but Amazon's the big one.

01:30:27.000 Give me the name again?

01:30:28.000 So it's called The Man Behind the Curtain.

01:30:30.000 Um, the secret network of George Soros.

01:30:32.000 Um, and, uh, yeah, I'll tweet about it and I'm sure you guys will get it as well.

01:30:35.000 Yeah.

01:30:35.000 Well, how about we go to super chats?

01:30:37.000 If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to the channel.

01:30:41.000 It is Friday night, everybody.

01:30:42.000 Thank you so much for hanging out.

01:30:43.000 All right.

01:30:44.000 Jordan Olson typed a bunch of Japanese, I think.

01:30:47.000 Oh, nice.

01:30:48.000 Thanks, Jordan.

01:30:48.000 I can't read it, but he says the left has no idea what they are dealing with and they're pushing too far.

01:30:52.000 Well, there you go.

01:30:55.000 Michael Irwin says, how dare the journalists assume Nicki Minaj's gender? 0.99

01:30:58.000 She seems to have bigger balls than any of those insulting journalists. 1.00

01:31:03.000 Redonk says, Nicki can handle her own ish, Tim. 0.99

01:31:07.000 Yes, I know, that's the point.

01:31:08.000 That's why I'm happy, because she is.

01:31:11.000 We finally have someone with power and influence pushing back.

01:31:17.000 I shouldn't say finally, we've got a lot of people who do, but she is a juggernaut in this space.

01:31:22.000 She is the hero we need right now.

01:31:25.000 Andrea and Zachary say, uh, IFV Fundraising GoFundMe says, the Kyle Rittenhouse motion hearing today went very well in his favor.

01:31:33.000 Rekia Law did a good stream for it earlier. 1.00

01:31:35.000 I think you'd like to follow it.

01:31:36.000 Ooh, that's very important.

01:31:36.000 We should, um.

01:31:37.000 We have Andrew Branca back.

01:31:39.000 Yeah, we should, we should, we should look into that.

01:31:40.000 Maybe, maybe have someone come in, uh, look at that.

01:31:43.000 Uh, Cigars and Cigarm says, did you see the Kyle Rittenhouse motion hearing today?

01:31:47.000 It seems the judge is not having any of the prosecutor, prosecution's shenanigans.

01:31:50.000 He may yet walk.

01:31:51.000 Woo! 0.99

01:31:52.000 Kyle, I just want to say for the record, Kyle Rittenhouse is my hero, so.

01:31:55.000 You know, I don't know if I'd go that far because he's a young kid who was trying to do right by his community, and the whole thing was crazy.

01:32:03.000 But when you break it down, the left is trying so desperately to cover this up.

01:32:07.000 That's... I'm sort of being reactionary.

01:32:10.000 Like, yes, I understand he shouldn't have been there.

01:32:11.000 However, given the context of everything... Oh, no, I wouldn't say that.

01:32:14.000 But neither should the rioters.

01:32:15.000 So it's, you know... I would say...

01:32:19.000 Hindsight is 20-20.

01:32:20.000 But when you watch a video of a 70-year-old man being bashed over the head with a brick and left bloody on the ground, and then you say, I'm coming out to protect my community, should Kyle have been there?

01:32:29.000 I mean... I should rephrase it.

01:32:31.000 The gun ownership is the only thing I think legally there was some ambiguity to.

01:32:35.000 We talked, we've had a bunch of lawyers on the show, so nope.

01:32:37.000 No?

01:32:38.000 I mean, I hope it's not the case, obviously.

01:32:38.000 Oh, well, good.

01:32:39.000 Yeah, so we'll see how it plays out.

01:32:42.000 I've been saying for a while I think he'll get life because the political climate.

01:32:46.000 No one's gonna stick their neck out when Antifa's gonna come to your house with a brick, but hey, we'll see.

01:32:53.000 All right, let's see.

01:32:54.000 BearXO says, I'm glad Ian is here today.

01:32:57.000 After last night, I thought, Tim, I'm not going to say that.

01:33:00.000 That was a very eye-opening conversation last night.

01:33:03.000 Still waiting for his cooking show.

01:33:05.000 I thought a lot about semantics, and what I don't want to do is be like, you said that, so you mean this.

01:33:11.000 I don't want to twist you, but I like to talk about the meaning of words and how the meaning of words are perceived by different types of people.

01:33:19.000 It's very important to the dynamic, I think, today.

01:33:22.000 Right on.

01:33:22.000 The Praying Doola says, Hey Tim, I watch you every night.

01:33:25.000 So much so my husband calls you the other man in my life.

01:33:28.000 Can you give a shout out to Mr. Calvin Wiggins?

01:33:31.000 Let him know he is still my number one.

01:33:33.000 Love you all.

01:33:34.000 You too, Ian.

01:33:35.000 I like how I said you too, Ian, as if to like make sure she, like, yes, I'm saying I like you.

01:33:39.000 What was her name?

01:33:40.000 The Praying Doola.

01:33:41.000 Thank you, The Praying Doola.

01:33:42.000 And shout out to Mr. Calvin Wiggins.

01:33:44.000 It would seem that your wife very much cares about you.

01:33:47.000 So much that she gave me, so much so she gave me 20 bucks. 0.74

01:33:50.000 So that I would say.

01:33:51.000 That's love.

01:33:52.000 It's worth $20.

01:33:54.000 There was a funny meme where some guy was tweeting, like, a couple asked me if I would leave my window seat so that they could sit together, and I said, your love is not as important as me watching the airplane take off.

01:34:06.000 And I'm like, yeah, but like, it's a funny way to put it, but like, bro, you're going to sit in a plane for a couple hours.

01:34:14.000 It's a good 4chan post, but yes, in real life, you might not want to.

01:34:20.000 Tim Johnson says, you were right.

01:34:22.000 The cops are a central problem.

01:34:22.000 I was wrong.

01:34:24.000 They could stop this.

01:34:25.000 God bless Donald J. Trump.

01:34:28.000 Yeah.

01:34:29.000 So here's what's happening.

01:34:29.000 The police.

01:34:31.000 Freedom-loving cops are resigning.

01:34:33.000 And I get emails all the time, they're like, Tim, I had to quit, I couldn't do it anymore, I won't do this.

01:34:37.000 We have the story, 11 of 15 restaurants that were surveyed by New York Post wouldn't enforce this.

01:34:43.000 Apparently, Libby is telling us, she was here on the show, cops won't even enforce this. 0.99

01:34:47.000 So there's still a lot of good cops, but a lot of the freedom-loving ones are resigning.

01:34:50.000 Then you've got people in the military, officers, who are resigning.

01:34:53.000 So what's going to be left in five years?

01:34:54.000 Well, that's the unintended consequence, too, of Black Lives Matter is, generally speaking, when cops are demonized, it's the good ones who know, hey, if I'm ever in a tough situation, I might have to, you know, behave in a certain way that might not be popular.

01:35:05.000 They're the ones who leave.

01:35:06.000 Then you're left with all the crappy cops who are sort of going to end up perpetuating their narrative. 0.74

01:35:11.000 The people willing to join, and the people willing to stay, will be establishment shills.

01:35:17.000 They'll be the fascists, it'll be the banality of evil, and so when people are like, if a civil war happened, the right has all the guns, and it's like, and the left will have the institutional guns, and you will have the civilian guns, and so bad things happen.

01:35:31.000 Brett says, Nikki was blacklisted years ago.

01:35:33.000 Been working against the industry machine and their plants.

01:35:36.000 E.g.

01:35:37.000 Fraud E.B.

01:35:38.000 She's the Donald Trump of hip-hop. 0.98

01:35:40.000 I thought that was Kanye.

01:35:43.000 Wow.

01:35:44.000 Well, I like Nikki Minaj more and more.

01:35:46.000 I haven't actually listened to her music.

01:35:48.000 You know, I gotta be honest, I bet if you played her music, I'd be like, oh, I heard that song. 0.91

01:35:51.000 It's not good.

01:35:53.000 It is not good.

01:35:54.000 Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

01:35:55.000 I like The Weeknd.

01:35:57.000 There was a time that whenever a song would come on, I would turn off the radio because I'm like, if I die in a car crash, this can't be the last thing I hear.

01:36:05.000 People like it.

01:36:06.000 I appreciate that.

01:36:08.000 I remember, didn't Ben Shapiro have this thing where he was like, rap isn't music or something?

01:36:12.000 I mean, it's a boomer joke, but I think he made that comment as well. 0.99

01:36:12.000 Yeah, 75% of crap. 0.99

01:36:15.000 Zuby changed his mind. 1.00

01:36:16.000 He did, yeah.

01:36:16.000 Oh, really?

01:36:17.000 Yeah, um... Yeah, music's music, man.

01:36:20.000 Oh yeah, you can raise and lower the pitch of your voice as you're talking.

01:36:24.000 It's definitely music.

01:36:25.000 Yeah, it's definitely music.

01:36:26.000 And there's some really good stuff.

01:36:26.000 It's great.

01:36:28.000 You know, I always really liked the more political, older rap stuff, where they're actually saying stuff.

01:36:34.000 It's good beats, it's good music, it's good sampling.

01:36:34.000 And it's good.

01:36:37.000 And now, we got to that period in the 90s and 2000s where it was just like... Opioid music.

01:36:43.000 Yeah, just, I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm rich, and I'm like... Like, I get it, you can dance to the beat, but man, there's no substance.

01:36:51.000 Give me the heart.

01:36:52.000 Give me the grind. 1.00

01:36:53.000 Yeah, that's why there's like some pop musicians where I'm like really disappointed sometimes when they'll write, they'll come out with a song that's actually really great in terms of composition, but the worst possible lyrics you can imagine.

01:37:04.000 And I'm just like, wow, imagine if they actually, you know, Adele's good.

01:37:04.000 Yeah.

01:37:09.000 Needs both.

01:37:09.000 Oh my gosh.

01:37:10.000 Yeah.

01:37:10.000 She's great.

01:37:11.000 Fantastic.

01:37:12.000 All right.

01:37:13.000 Let's say, okay.

01:37:16.000 Busted Knuckle says, Tim had a powerful quote today.

01:37:19.000 It's not about my opinion or making this stuff up.

01:37:22.000 It's about watching everybody else getting ready.

01:37:24.000 Tom McDonald and Nicki Minaj collab.

01:37:26.000 OMG let's make it happen.

01:37:28.000 I think I was basically saying like, the issue of Civil War and the cult and everything.

01:37:35.000 I said this a lot in various ways.

01:37:37.000 It doesn't matter if you think you're right.

01:37:38.000 It doesn't matter if I'm right or they're right.

01:37:40.000 What matters is both sides are adamant they are right, and they're continually escalating the conflict.

01:37:47.000 Now I will say, as I often do, I think the cult are the ones who are actually pushing it.

01:37:53.000 Donald Trump did not invoke the Insurrection Act.

01:37:56.000 Donald Trump did not start these riots.

01:37:59.000 And Donald Trump didn't even stop the riots.

01:38:02.000 But when it comes to Joe Biden, the executive decrees, and Cuomo murdering 15,000 people, the left is right there empowering them the entire time.

01:38:08.000 It's crazy.

01:38:09.000 You can kill 15,000 people, but if you make a few women uncomfortable, that's where they draw the line. 1.00

01:38:13.000 That's where they draw the line, yeah.

01:38:15.000 Which, I'm not saying what he did was right, but it's just of the two things, obviously.

01:38:18.000 One is quite a bit worse than the other.

01:38:20.000 Socrates was huge on questioning himself and advising other people to question authority and question themselves.

01:38:25.000 I think we should definitely keep that in mind.

01:38:28.000 Pepi Clown says, Tim, I'm gonna start calling you Three Dog from Fallout 3.

01:38:32.000 My super chat is about you claiming we have no culture on the right.

01:38:36.000 Just look at Adam Calhoun, Ryan Upchurch, and all the other creakers and rednecks. 1.00

01:38:41.000 We got culture, bud, we just don't got a media presence.

01:38:44.000 So what I mean is mainstream culture, there's like almost no right wing presence.

01:38:51.000 Obviously people have culture.

01:38:52.000 Obviously there's... They just don't talk about it.

01:38:55.000 Well, it's just the mainstream is owned by the, like the establishment culture.

01:38:58.000 It's all owned by the left.

01:38:59.000 It's like, it's like 5% of it is right wing and they don't talk about it.

01:39:02.000 Like, I mean, like I think actually Norm Macdonald who recently passed away is actually sort of an example of that where he's, you know, he, when he rarely talked about politics, it was right wing, but it was just, you know... Didn't he have a thing where he talked about going to a Trump rally and how he like, he loved it or whatever?

01:39:14.000 Well, he had this one joke where he was talking about how a transgender woman came up to him and was like questioning, like, how can you possibly believe in God? 0.98

01:39:20.000 How ridiculous it is. 0.99

01:39:21.000 And he goes, well, I have to pretend you're a fucking woman, which is a pretty ballsy joke from any comedian nowadays. 1.00

01:39:29.000 But I mean, it was from something within the past few months, but he gave no fucks, which was awesome. 0.99

01:39:35.000 But it's funny that, you know, he goes on this radio show and actually pushes back woke talking points.

01:39:40.000 This is the bit we've been talking about for a while.

01:39:42.000 Yeah. 0.98

01:39:43.000 He pushes those talking points where, you know, about he was on a radio show with this woke woman and he said that black people are poorer than white people and poor people are dangerous. 0.71

01:39:54.000 And they all got offended by it. 0.93

01:39:56.000 But the problem is that was actually their talking point.

01:39:58.000 He just said it in a way that came off as crass and they were offended by it.

01:40:01.000 And it's like it really makes you makes you think that Many of these people are offended not by the substance of the idea or the fact, but by the way it's put to them.

01:40:08.000 Yes, the tone.

01:40:09.000 The thing too, they want to know your motivation by arguing something.

01:40:09.000 Like, learn to code.

01:40:13.000 Where you can say something sympathetic, but if they suspect it's for the wrong reason, that's also a sin.

01:40:18.000 Yeah.

01:40:18.000 Hmm.

01:40:19.000 True.

01:40:20.000 Norm was a master of the tone.

01:40:21.000 Oh, he was the greatest ever.

01:40:22.000 He's so good.

01:40:23.000 There's never going to be anyone funnier than him.

01:40:24.000 I hope there will be.

01:40:25.000 I want to carry his torch, man.

01:40:26.000 I hope there is, but yeah.

01:40:29.000 Norm.

01:40:29.000 Yeah, there's so many videos that are popping up of him when he was on The View talking about Bill Clinton.

01:40:33.000 I was just thinking about that.

01:40:33.000 He killed the guy.

01:40:34.000 Wow.

01:40:35.000 See, Hennessy says a house divided against itself cannot stand.

01:40:37.000 I do not expect the union to be dissolved.

01:40:39.000 I do not expect the house to fall.

01:40:41.000 But I do expect it will cease to be divided.

01:40:43.000 It will become all one thing or all other.

01:40:44.000 Oh, only I listened to this guy because I'm clicking through YouTube and of course millions of people do but it

01:40:47.000 was I loved him on the weekend. Yeah, best ever weekend update. Yeah.

01:40:51.000 He was so good. All right, let's see.

01:40:52.000 C. Hennessy says a house divided against itself cannot stand. I do not expect the union to be dissolved. I do not

01:40:57.000 expect the house to fall, but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all other.

01:41:04.000 Lincoln.

01:41:05.000 I don't think it will be united.

01:41:07.000 I don't think it's possible.

01:41:09.000 It's just absolutely not possible.

01:41:10.000 Because it's not about facts.

01:41:13.000 It's about that I can sit and ask someone a question and they will change their opinion just to oppose me.

01:41:19.000 That's the problem.

01:41:23.000 You'll sit down, you'll have a conversation with one of these people on the left, and you'll say something, and they'll just say the opposite.

01:41:27.000 Well, there's a whole Twitter account called DefiantLs, and literally the entire feed, no matter who you are as a liberal, he will find you saying one thing, and then four days later magically having the opposite opinion in the opposite circumstance.

01:41:39.000 Oh, oh, Ezra Klein.

01:41:40.000 Yeah, he's an awesome guy.

01:41:42.000 Ezra Klein had, like, the really famous moment where he was like, You know, um, we, we, we should have, uh, appointments for the Supreme Court for life.

01:41:51.000 It's part of this country.

01:41:51.000 It makes sense.

01:41:53.000 And then when, you know, uh, Kavanaugh comes around, I can't remember who it was.

01:41:58.000 Then Kavanaugh comes around and goes, well, we really should consider limits and people should be out at a certain point.

01:42:02.000 And it's like, Well, the big one is the vaccine, which is, I mean, now getting pushed on us as, if you don't take this, you want everyone to die and you should have no rights.

01:42:08.000 A year ago, it was, God, why is Trump trying to rush this? 1.00

01:42:10.000 What kind of idiot would take this? 1.00

01:42:11.000 And literally every mainstream public, including Frank 5502 from Twitter, every single person did a 180. 1.00

01:42:19.000 And it's incredible to see.

01:42:21.000 So there's no way to mend when you can literally sit down next to someone and be like, Trump wants this vaccine to be put out. 1.00

01:42:27.000 And they'll go, that's a stupid idea. 1.00

01:42:28.000 You're wrong. 1.00

01:42:29.000 And, well, Biden got elected.

01:42:31.000 Oh, the vaccine's a good thing now.

01:42:32.000 It's like, okay, so are we arguing?

01:42:34.000 It's like that Drake meme.

01:42:35.000 Joey Reed tried to defend it by saying, well, under Trump, it was just a different regulatory process.

01:42:40.000 So now that it's under Biden and literally nothing has changed since, you know.

01:42:44.000 I still, I always seem to still find that when people come face to face, it's a different story.

01:42:49.000 One-on-one, not when, not when mobs come together.

01:42:51.000 Especially online too.

01:42:52.000 I mean, A, there's a divide.

01:42:53.000 And then also there's the acknowledgement that on Twitter, your odds of convincing someone of your opinion in a hundred characters is zero percent.

01:42:59.000 So.

01:43:00.000 Text is not, it's really disrupting society right now, this text communication.

01:43:04.000 Yeah, I've thought about going off the grid once I'm no longer doing politics.

01:43:08.000 Dude, just walking to the river today was incredible.

01:43:10.000 I picked up my phone this morning, I was like, I think I don't want to be on the internet today.

01:43:13.000 I think if I had everything now, but limited to like an hour a day, it would be fine.

01:43:16.000 Yeah.

01:43:17.000 I think that's a good, but I will never get the willpower to enforce that.

01:43:21.000 You can do it.

01:43:22.000 You can do it!

01:43:23.000 That's uh, that's Rob Schneider.

01:43:25.000 Josh, oh my gosh, say Tim and Crew, what do you think of forcing politicians' wages to be the

01:43:29.000 same as the median between the lowest wages and the middle class wages in their areas?

01:43:34.000 How would this affect those who seek power in government?

01:43:36.000 They would become desperate and then pony up to establishment power to get a good job after they left after

01:43:41.000 two years?

01:43:42.000 So Thomas Sowell made that point. He actually made a case, and I don't agree with it going this far, but for paying

01:43:46.000 everyone a million a year.

01:43:47.000 That was Yang, so the same thing.

01:43:48.000 Yeah, and his logic was A, the cost per taxpayer is like, you know, less,

01:43:51.000 probably less than a penny when you divide it between everyone.

01:43:53.000 And then, you know, his arguments would make them less susceptible to corruption.

01:43:56.000 Now, obviously you could be, you know, super green, want the million plus everything else, but that was his

01:44:00.000 argument.

01:44:00.000 Yeah, money doesn't solve greed.

01:44:02.000 Yeah, I think it should be, uh, that that.

01:44:05.000 We'll see you next time.

01:44:07.000 Maybe we pay really, really well.

01:44:09.000 Like Andrew Yang said, you know, you get paid a million bucks or whatever.

01:44:12.000 Thomas Sowell apparently said the same thing.

01:44:13.000 But then what if after you got out, you could no longer work in the private sector?

01:44:17.000 That would be interesting, because you can't.

01:44:19.000 That seems to be the number one job is just like, oh, this random senator is now on Walmart's board for some reason.

01:44:23.000 How did that happen?

01:44:24.000 Yeah.

01:44:24.000 So how about you can't you can only work in the public sector?

01:44:27.000 That would be interesting.

01:44:28.000 But what if we we paid a million bucks a year and then I guess the challenge is, there's no simple answer to this problem.

01:44:38.000 Paying a million bucks won't solve anything.

01:44:39.000 It'll just make people want to win so they can get two million dollars. 1.00

01:44:42.000 There's always a workaround.

01:44:43.000 In India, lobbying is banned, but bribery and corruption is extremely common, so you just find a different form for it.

01:44:50.000 And people don't understand what lobbying is.

01:44:53.000 Typically, younger leftists will tell you that lobbying is like Here's a big check.

01:44:56.000 Mwahaha.

01:44:57.000 No, they go to dinner with the guy.

01:45:01.000 Lobbying literally means argue to person.

01:45:04.000 It comes from people standing in the lobby and waiting for Congress, the day's session to end, when they would come out and they'd be like, hey, hey, hey, come, you want to come look at this?

01:45:11.000 And they're in the lobby.

01:45:15.000 Come to dinner with me.

01:45:20.000 People really don't understand how simple things can be.

01:45:24.000 We've talked about gerrymandering.

01:45:25.000 Gerrymandering is one of the most important things that we have in this country when it comes to our political system.

01:45:30.000 They just don't get it.

01:45:31.000 They show a map, and it's like, here's Dan Crenshaw's district, and it's got, like, weird lines, and it's, like, oddly shaped, and I'm like, yes.

01:45:37.000 Would you prefer it if half his district covered the water, or if it covered large swaths of empty farmland?

01:45:44.000 No, they're drawn over where people live, so of course they're not solid blocks or surfaces.

01:45:52.000 how everyone thinks that's what gerrymandering looks like but he created his own hypothetical map where every box just looks like oh it's an evenly made district and it was more gerrymandered than the most gerrymandered districts but it's just the placement of it doesn't have to be the shape basically was his point people seem to think that like Chicago is a giant square And you can just draw a square over it and be like, that's a district.

01:46:14.000 They don't realize that in Chicago, there's big commercial industrial areas.

01:46:19.000 Like on the south side, where it's literally like five square miles of factories.

01:46:22.000 Wrigley Field, for instance.

01:46:24.000 So yeah, so it's like, we're gonna, people don't live there.

01:46:27.000 And then there's also mountainous terrain, swamps, places that are not incorporated.

01:46:32.000 So yes, districts are drawn where people live.

01:46:35.000 And the problem is, Whether intentionally or not, you will end up with a favorable redistricting, and so people accuse each other of both sides of corruption for doing it.

01:46:47.000 The problem is, I think, we have first-past-the-post voting. 0.86

01:46:49.000 One-person-one-vote is a really dumb idea. 0.98

01:46:52.000 I can talk all day about how the Founding Fathers were brilliant, but this was one of the dumbest things they did. 0.99

01:46:56.000 But I don't blame them. 0.93

01:46:57.000 What is it, first-past-the-post?

01:46:58.000 What's it?

01:46:58.000 One-person-one-vote.

01:47:00.000 It doesn't make sense.

01:47:01.000 Because we end up with a system where people are voting against each other.

01:47:04.000 As opposed to like a ranked choice system, where you set your top ten, and then if the first person's off the table, it goes to your second vote.

01:47:04.000 Right, right.

01:47:10.000 Did New York try that?

01:47:11.000 I don't know how that went.

01:47:13.000 Yeah, I think they do it now.

01:47:14.000 They do ranked choice.

01:47:15.000 I think Nebraska, or Maine, might do ranked choice for all their elections as well.

01:47:20.000 Um, you look at the parliamentary system where I think that's actually in a lot of ways better.

01:47:25.000 I would actually prefer it, you know, compared to what we have.

01:47:28.000 I mean, as I said earlier, I want to see more parties.

01:47:29.000 Right.

01:47:30.000 You know, I'm a Republican, but I'm in a faction that I think 20% of Republicans are in.

01:47:35.000 So it's, you know.

01:47:36.000 With, uh, with, if, if, if we had, if we had a parliamentary style voting system in the U.S., you would end up with, what is, what is the Libertarian Party like, uh, uh, 5%?

01:47:36.000 Yeah.

01:47:44.000 5%, yeah, probably get 5% on the seats.

01:47:46.000 So you would end up with what, like, uh, what would that be like, um, like a couple two or three libertarian congressmen 20 in

01:47:54.000 the house i guess it'd be 20 what was it what 435 seats oh yeah right there you go yeah about 20 and

01:48:00.000 then you'd have yeah one or two in the senate yeah yeah the way that would work is any legit

01:48:04.000 uh you have five and recognize political party automatically gets so then most european countries i

01:48:10.000 think it's your party has to get like five percent although the threshold might differ

01:48:14.000 But then once you're above that, then they get distributed based on that.

01:48:18.000 And then coalitions have to form.

01:48:19.000 So Republicans would probably... You'd have like a Republican Party, a Libertarian Party, a Nationalist Party, and they might be a coalition.

01:48:24.000 Then, you know, the Democrats and the DSA might be a coalition and the Greens or whatever.

01:48:28.000 And what would happen is the Republicans would come out and be like, we want to cut taxes on the billionaires and the millionaires, and the Libertarians are going to be like, you bet, and the national populists are going to be like, we're not going to get on board with that, we don't see how that serves the working class in this country.

01:48:42.000 But the Libertarians would often be like, anything having to do with shrinking government, we're going to say yes to. 0.89

01:48:46.000 And then when the national populists agree on certain regulations, the Republicans do, the Libertarians are going to be like, nope!

01:48:51.000 So it forces, but then they could go to the Green Party and say, hey, this regulation, you know, so then they would actually have to meet with more different perspectives on the left and the right to solve things.

01:49:03.000 I don't know if it would solve all the problems though.

01:49:05.000 But I will say, first past the post results in locked districts and voting against people.

01:49:11.000 So now it's like, we have the epitome of anti-elections.

01:49:16.000 Joe Biden is an anti-president.

01:49:20.000 He was not elected.

01:49:21.000 Trump was anti-elected.

01:49:22.000 People went in hard, like, I don't care about Joe.

01:49:25.000 We don't know or care who he is.

01:49:27.000 Typically it was the lesser of two evils.

01:49:30.000 Now it's quite literally anything, anything but Trump.

01:49:33.000 That was their vote.

01:49:34.000 I think too.

01:49:34.000 I think the mail-in voting probably also helped tip the scales in that, like, if you're in a swing state and you're some college, like, I'm working off the premise that the people that were the most anti-Trump were the youngest people who were also the least likely to vote in the first place.

01:49:47.000 So, like, when you have mass mail-in voting in any swing state, you have all these college kids who would never in a million years would go to a polling place, can now just check a box.

01:49:56.000 Now people are going to say, like, Matt, are you saying college kids shouldn't vote?

01:49:59.000 Maybe.

01:50:00.000 No, no, here's the way I'll put it.

01:50:02.000 If you want to vote, there should be at least some responsibility, some requirement.

01:50:08.000 It shouldn't be that you can sit there with your eyes half closed, someone knocks on your door and says, can you check that box for me real quick?

01:50:14.000 People think it's a virtue getting more people to vote. 1.00

01:50:16.000 I'm like, well, what if they're idiots? 1.00

01:50:19.000 They wouldn't think that if it was more Republicans. 1.00

01:50:22.000 So what happens is, this is what the Democrats have been doing.

01:50:25.000 I do not believe we're going to find any widespread fraud.

01:50:28.000 I don't think so either.

01:50:29.000 I think like Bill Barr said, like, there's fraud, but it's not that crazy.

01:50:33.000 And I think that's, I think it's correct.

01:50:34.000 I do think we need security.

01:50:36.000 I think it'd be ridiculous to reduce security.

01:50:37.000 We need open source code in these voting machines.

01:50:39.000 But what's happening is, with universal mail-in voting, Democrats have all of these nonprofits to go door-to-door knocking on every door and saying, do you vote yet?

01:50:48.000 Do you vote yet?

01:50:49.000 It's right there.

01:50:50.000 Before they had that, they would knock on the door and say, make sure on September 14th you go vote.

01:50:55.000 And they go, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever.

01:50:57.000 And then September 14th would come around and they'd be like, I'm not going anywhere.

01:51:00.000 But now, with a month of print-out-your-own-ballots, they have that in California, if you're approved, universal mail-in voting, now the Democrats have a month to go door-to-door to all of these people and say, can you fill that out right now?

01:51:14.000 Just fill it out right now.

01:51:15.000 You know you gotta fill it out.

01:51:17.000 And they'll go, okay, fine, fine, I'll fill it out.

01:51:19.000 Here.

01:51:19.000 Don't recall.

01:51:19.000 Done.

01:51:20.000 I'm done.

01:51:20.000 Right?

01:51:20.000 What do I do with it?

01:51:21.000 Just put it in your mailbox.

01:51:21.000 Mailman, let's come take it.

01:51:22.000 Okay?

01:51:23.000 That's what they've been doing.

01:51:25.000 And the Republicans don't have this ground game.

01:51:28.000 So there's a lot of Trump supporters who think they were making fake ballots, and I'm like, dude, they're real, they're mail-in ballots, the Republicans helped them do it in Pennsylvania, and then the Republicans did not go on the ground, and that's why Republicans disproportionately vote in person.

01:51:43.000 Because no one in the Republican districts, and you know what the other thing is?

01:51:46.000 It's harder to do.

01:51:48.000 When you're a Democrat and you walk into an apartment building with a thousand people and a massive building, and you go, knock on one door, vote, vote, vote, you walk ten feet, knock on the door, vote, Republicans gotta go house to house to house.

01:51:58.000 It's a lot harder to do.

01:52:00.000 That's why I think universal mail-in voting is bad, because it disproportionately favors dense populations.

01:52:07.000 And we can't have that.

01:52:08.000 Because they make very, very bad voting decisions.

01:52:12.000 Regardless of whether you think their votes right or wrong, if you're giving an advantage to those who live in dense populations, then you're going to continually pressure left victories, right?

01:52:22.000 All right, let's see.

01:52:23.000 There's a good one.

01:52:24.000 Well, Alex has said a bunch of crazy things, that's why.

01:52:27.000 He said a bunch of things that turned out to be true, and that's fair. 0.53

01:52:29.000 What's the difference between conspiracy theory and facts now?

01:52:31.000 A few weeks, get Nikki on the show. 0.98

01:52:33.000 Well, Alex has said a bunch of crazy things, that's why.

01:52:36.000 He said a bunch of things that turned out to be true, and that's fair. 0.53

01:52:39.000 But when he was on it, like Rogan, and he was saying like the towers, the interdimensional

01:52:42.000 beings and all this stuff, I'm like, dude. 0.99

01:52:46.000 When he said, turn on the freaking frogs! 0.98

01:52:47.000 That was hyperbole. 0.96

01:52:48.000 So he's also hyperbolic, which I think has given him kind of tainted his persona to a lot of people, because it was making them hermaphroditic, this enzyme or whatever it was.

01:52:57.000 Atrazine.

01:52:58.000 But not gay. 1.00

01:52:59.000 No, not gay.

01:53:00.000 He's admitted that.

01:53:01.000 We've had Steve Bannon a couple times, and we get so many comments from people being like, wow, I didn't realize he was actually kind of a normal dude.

01:53:07.000 Oh, I've met him a few times.

01:53:08.000 He's the coolest guy I've done shows with. 0.72

01:53:09.000 But people think he's this fringe, crazy, far-right, neo-Nazi guy because of the media.

01:53:14.000 And for a lot of the people, I think that's why Steve likes me.

01:53:17.000 He came on the show twice.

01:53:18.000 He saw me on a show in like December of 2019 and then like eight months later someone just sends me a clip of it.

01:53:23.000 He's like, yo, yeah, right.

01:53:24.000 I saw the show with Matt Palumbo.

01:53:25.000 You did a great job.

01:53:26.000 And I was just, I don't know, I was kind of blown away that he remembered who I was.

01:53:29.000 I think he came on twice.

01:53:32.000 After the first time he was like, you know, I'll come back.

01:53:33.000 And I think it's because there's a lot of people who watch us who are like fairly moderate.

01:53:37.000 Who have maybe only ever heard of him from the mainstream media.

01:53:40.000 And then when you actually hear him talk, it was funny.

01:53:42.000 He said he was far right.

01:53:43.000 And then he says he wants to tax the rich.

01:53:44.000 And I'm like, Steve, that's not far right.

01:53:46.000 That's like pretty left.

01:53:47.000 And he goes, no, I'm far right.

01:53:49.000 And I'm like, no, that's not.

01:53:50.000 He goes, well, I'm a populist.

01:53:51.000 And I'm like, right.

01:53:52.000 Right.

01:53:53.000 You're a populist.

01:53:54.000 And so when the media says far-right and you think it's true, I'm like, people don't understand what that means, you know?

01:54:00.000 But for Steve Bannon to be like, tax the rich, we're getting ripped off, I'm like, that sounds more like Bernie than anything.

01:54:05.000 And it is more common with the European far-right, where they're like, you know, big on anti-immigration, but, you know, when it comes to taxes, they're, you know, more liberal on that.

01:54:13.000 But yeah, I mean, he's not, you know, completely one-dimensional or anything.

01:54:16.000 Yeah, he's really grounded.

01:54:17.000 Yeah, I don't know, a very nice guy.

01:54:19.000 It's just weird the image that's been created around him.

01:54:21.000 If I met him and didn't know a single thing, I'd be like, oh, he's a nice old man.

01:54:25.000 I love that he's excited for the future.

01:54:28.000 It's great to be around him.

01:54:30.000 Victor Dimitrov says, any plan for TimCast to make games?

01:54:33.000 We are in desperate need for more game devs that aren't woke and aren't in the hellhole cities.

01:54:37.000 Too many games have sacrificed quality in favor of pushing an agenda.

01:54:41.000 We have two video games in development.

01:54:43.000 They've been in development for some time.

01:54:44.000 It's difficult.

01:54:45.000 It takes a long time.

01:54:47.000 And we're going to be incorporating very interesting new technologies into these games to make them alive outside of the game as well.

01:54:54.000 It's going to be awesome.

01:54:55.000 We're working on a roguelike game.

01:54:56.000 I've actually posted a video of it.

01:54:59.000 We should probably... I think we should maybe make an announcement at some point about one of the games.

01:55:06.000 Let's talk about it after the show.

01:55:08.000 Because it's a roguelike.

01:55:10.000 It's a normal game.

01:55:11.000 And it's going to be really, really fun, and we're going to make it an immortal, living game where we have regular updates, different levels, procedurally generated stuff, and we've got a bunch of crazy ideas that are going to make...

01:55:22.000 Probably one of the most fun games you'll ever play.

01:55:24.000 The industries are combining, I've found, all these industries.

01:55:28.000 The movie industry, the video game industry, the economics, it's just becoming one.

01:55:33.000 VR, you know, you're going to be in this world of reality, sub-reality.

01:55:38.000 So we're stepping into that.

01:55:39.000 I love you.

01:55:40.000 Who said that I love you?

01:55:41.000 Dragon Lady, I love you.

01:55:41.000 Dragon Lady.

01:55:42.000 I don't think Dragon Lady is a fan of me. 0.96

01:55:44.000 She'll get to know you.

01:55:45.000 No internet reception available.

01:55:46.000 I feel so relaxed now being able to tune in to Tim and Lydia and I'm even glad to hear

01:55:50.000 Ian.

01:55:51.000 I love you.

01:55:52.000 Seriously, hugs to Ian.

01:55:53.000 Who said that?

01:55:54.000 I love you.

01:55:55.000 Dragon Lady.

01:55:56.000 Dragon Lady.

01:55:57.000 I don't think Dragon Lady is a fan of me. 0.96

01:55:58.000 Thanks, Tim.

01:55:59.000 She'll get to know you.

01:56:00.000 Excellent.

01:56:02.000 Rick Ortiz says, Tim, not financial advice, but do you have faith in both AMC and GMC

01:56:07.000 Also, you're a nerd, Ian.

01:56:09.000 That is true. 0.88

01:56:10.000 I have AMC stock.

01:56:10.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:56:12.000 Um, and I, and I, I didn't actually buy it when like the whole thing started.

01:56:17.000 Cause I was like, I don't want to do that, but I actually bought it because of cover restrictions.

01:56:21.000 Cause I was thinking two things.

01:56:23.000 What is the one thing I want to do when they lift restrictions?

01:56:27.000 I want to go to the movies, man.

01:56:28.000 I miss the movies.

01:56:28.000 That was my logic.

01:56:29.000 I bought it, and then the first meme wave, I just sold when it was like 20 or something.

01:56:33.000 I got it for like three, and I was like, whatever.

01:56:35.000 I'm not gonna sell it, because my concern isn't making money off of it.

01:56:39.000 My thing was like, I love going to the movies, and I haven't been able to, and now we've gone to the movies a couple times, and it's fun.

01:56:45.000 And also, that says to me, it's a good investment.

01:56:47.000 You know why?

01:56:48.000 I bet a lot of people feel the same way.

01:56:50.000 So there's a lot of the super stonk stuff where they're like, buy MC, the short people, you know, the mother of all shorts.

01:56:55.000 And they have all this extra cash on their balance sheet now that they can just kind of diversify if they need to or, you know, use it to do anything.

01:57:02.000 Makes it an even better investment.

01:57:03.000 Have you guys ever been to an IMAX theater?

01:57:05.000 Yeah.

01:57:05.000 Oh my, oh gee, I saw Avatar in the IMAX.

01:57:08.000 Yeah.

01:57:08.000 Dude, go see an IMAX movie.

01:57:10.000 What did I see?

01:57:11.000 I think I saw Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull in IMAX.

01:57:14.000 What's the name of it?

01:57:15.000 What's the Paradox movie?

01:57:16.000 I can't remember what the hell it's called.

01:57:17.000 Joseph Gordon-Levitt?

01:57:18.000 Oh, yeah.

01:57:18.000 Inception.

01:57:19.000 Inception.

01:57:19.000 Yeah, I saw that in IMAX.

01:57:20.000 It was very good.

01:57:21.000 Whoa.

01:57:22.000 That must have been twisted.

01:57:23.000 IMAX is fun.

01:57:24.000 I still don't know what happened, but yeah, it was good.

01:57:26.000 I fell asleep during that movie.

01:57:28.000 I don't think it was my fault.

01:57:29.000 Brewmaster Monk says, NFTs sound like a great way to prove you're at an important cultural event.

01:57:34.000 Like imagine getting one from attending a concert and being able to display these badges on a dating profile.

01:57:38.000 That's a really good idea.

01:57:40.000 We should rip this guy's idea off.

01:57:41.000 But you don't need NFTs for that.

01:57:44.000 So we're planning an event and we're going to be sorting out the details.

01:57:48.000 It's probably going to be October 23rd.

01:57:50.000 We could just issue a token and there's only 300 of them.

01:57:55.000 So they're fungible, but there's just 300.

01:58:00.000 Right?

01:58:00.000 They don't gotta be NFTs?

01:58:02.000 Um, you could issue utility tokens, yeah.

01:58:04.000 But I guess you could do 300 NFTs?

01:58:07.000 Probably, yeah, I think you can, yeah.

01:58:08.000 Yeah, that actually makes sense, because then you have, it'll be called like, and the data within them will be 1 of 300, 2 of 300, 3 of 300, and then someone will be like, I went to the event and I got the NFT 3 of 300, or 1 of, and then the person's gonna want that number 1.

01:58:20.000 Yeah.

01:58:22.000 Big time.

01:58:22.000 And then what do you, is that all it is?

01:58:24.000 Yeah, it's basically an art project.

01:58:26.000 Yeah.

01:58:27.000 At least right now it is there might be better utilities to come out for it.

01:58:33.000 All right, let's see.

01:58:35.000 There was a super chat and it just disappeared.

01:58:38.000 And it was about Cardano.

01:58:39.000 And I want to read it.

01:58:40.000 Oh, there you go.

01:58:41.000 Goblin Hand says, Tim, you promised us Charles Hoskinson.

01:58:43.000 What happened there?

01:58:44.000 When?

01:58:45.000 He's probably in... He's probably the coolest billionaire you will ever meet.

01:58:48.000 And you can talk not only crypto with him, but liberty as well.

01:58:51.000 He's a Wyoming guy.

01:58:53.000 I mean, we... He has an open invite.

01:58:55.000 Yeah.

01:58:56.000 We run in the same circles.

01:58:58.000 Come on, Charles.

01:58:59.000 He can come on whenever he wants to come on.

01:59:00.000 Wyoming's got great crypto laws.

01:59:01.000 I'd love to talk to him about it.

01:59:02.000 Oh, what state?

01:59:03.000 Wyoming?

01:59:03.000 Yeah.

01:59:04.000 Oh, isn't their senator really into it?

01:59:05.000 Yeah.

01:59:06.000 Yeah.

01:59:06.000 He's cool.

01:59:08.000 Speaking of secession, why don't we just, like, take over a state like that?

01:59:13.000 It would be real exciting to start a new community somewhere.

01:59:15.000 They tried to do that in New Hampshire, the Libertarians, I think.

01:59:17.000 They're working on it.

01:59:18.000 Yeah.

01:59:19.000 Lord of Avignon says, Tim, how do you feel about the quartering saying you want a civil war?

01:59:24.000 He doesn't listen to my videos because, like, I've consistently said one of the worst possible things for us in the world would be if we if we fracture, then China wins. 1.00

01:59:32.000 And China is our greatest adversary. 0.96

01:59:34.000 But it's funny that he uses the leftist talking point that by talking about something happening, you want it to happen.

01:59:44.000 It's a weird thing to say, because it's completely irrelevant to the conversation, completely irrelevant to the argument.

01:59:50.000 If the Atlantic writes a story saying, a historian says, we're tracking like ancient Rome and we will have a civil war, and we've had a Princeton professor say it, we've had numerous articles about security experts saying it, we have leftist pundits and right-wing pundits saying it, we have Sarah Silverman saying, secede, New Hampshire's trying to secede, and then I go, man, sounds like civil war.

02:00:06.000 He wants it to happen!

02:00:08.000 I think that's psychotic.

02:00:08.000 Let me offer a little counterpoint, because if a kid, say for instance, is holding a knife

02:00:11.000 and you're like, hey, put that down, you're going to hurt yourself.

02:00:14.000 Then the kid starts thinking, I'm going to hurt myself.

02:00:17.000 I'm going to hurt myself and then might end up hurting themself.

02:00:19.000 I think that's psychotic. 0.98

02:00:21.000 I know it is psychotic.

02:00:22.000 I think what you're arguing right now, if you tell someone, it's kind of the way you

02:00:27.000 I think ultimately, not you particularly, but just the way things are phrased to people can kind of guide them towards ways.

02:00:32.000 And maybe you've said things like, it's going to happen.

02:00:34.000 So I guess that means you want it to.

02:00:35.000 The counterpoint though is that it really hurts stabbing yourself.

02:00:39.000 Yeah.

02:00:39.000 As opposed to like, put that down.

02:00:40.000 It's safer if you put it down.

02:00:42.000 People have, you know, I don't think that makes sense.

02:00:46.000 But the point is, imagine seeing a fire, and then being like... That might burn the house down.

02:00:52.000 That fire is gonna spread, it's gonna spread.

02:00:54.000 He wants the fire to spread.

02:00:56.000 What?!

02:00:57.000 It's the worst possible thing!

02:00:58.000 It's gonna destroy the neighborhood!

02:00:59.000 And then the rival high school is gonna take over! 0.99

02:01:03.000 And they're like, he just wants the fire to happen.

02:01:05.000 It's like, okay, I guess I'm done telling people there's gonna be a fire.

02:01:09.000 You've warned us, but now it's your job is to help us solve it.

02:01:13.000 That's the crazy thing, too.

02:01:14.000 Most of what I do is kind of just observational.

02:01:17.000 A lot of my videos on conflict in China, it's funny when they're like, Tim Pool's so biased, and I'm like, have you ever watched one of my videos that gets substantially more views?

02:01:27.000 I will get way more views talking about, if I did a segment on Biden and the drone strike, and it's just like, a drone strike was ordered here.

02:01:36.000 I did one segment talking about 30 minutes.

02:01:39.000 The military was reducing contracts in desert theater warfare ordnance and military gear and stuff like that, and was shifting to Pacific theater, which was indicative of a greater threat from China.

02:01:51.000 It also was a sign of the withdrawal with Afghanistan, and it was ridiculously dry.

02:01:57.000 There wasn't me going like, I can't believe these Democrats are going!

02:02:00.000 It was me literally saying, Joe Biden announced that the Pentagon would be reducing its purchasing of, and it's just like 30 minutes of really dry stuff.

02:02:08.000 And they accused me of wanting war by literally reading military reports and purchasing reports and saying like, guys, it really does sound like the U.S.

02:02:15.000 is going to be shifting in this direction and this will put pressure on China.

02:02:18.000 Thucydides trap, blah, blah, blah. 0.97

02:02:20.000 I think it's a ridiculous argument. 0.51

02:02:22.000 Also, I think Jeremy is very much a person-oriented show.

02:02:27.000 So, for me, when I'm like, take a look at this report about conflict, and the segment is literally about the allusions to ancient Rome and, like, potential conflicts and history repeating itself, and then you have other channels like Jeremy where he talks about people and, you know, what people do, It's just very different.

02:02:47.000 Jeremy's not gonna make a video talking about the merits of civil war because he's a people channel, you know what I mean?

02:02:53.000 Like, they're channels that focus on, like, individuals and individual culture, and then we talk about... That's why I usually don't name people.

02:03:01.000 When I'll be like, we did it several times today, I don't say their names because I'm more interested in the ideas that's being conveyed by the person and not getting into petty drama about them.

02:03:09.000 Also, I didn't know he said that anyway, so I'm assuming he did, but whatever.

02:03:13.000 It's what the left says over and over again.

02:03:15.000 Like, the principal professor can come out and say it, and he gets a free pass. 0.95

02:03:19.000 Do you mean, like, Kevin Cruz douchebag? 0.90

02:03:20.000 Who? 0.97

02:03:22.000 Oh, it's the principal professor that I hate, but no, go ahead.

02:03:25.000 No, some principal professor came out several years ago and said, we're in a cold civil war.

02:03:28.000 And then I go, hey guys, look at that.

02:03:29.000 He said, and they're like, you want a civil war, don't you?

02:03:31.000 And I'm like, no, I really don't, because China will then take over. 0.67

02:03:35.000 Sarah Silverman seems to want balkanization though, so. 1.00

02:03:38.000 That's good for her.

02:03:38.000 Yeah.

02:03:39.000 All right, let's see.

02:03:40.000 We'll grab a couple more.

02:03:41.000 Jim Pina says, you have a game project.

02:03:43.000 I have 20 plus years in the industry, so I'll keep an eye on this in case I could contribute.

02:03:49.000 We need a lead dev.

02:03:52.000 Like a full stack dev.

02:03:53.000 Well, full stack.

02:03:54.000 I don't know if they're going to do the game stuff for us.

02:03:56.000 We need a lot of people.

02:03:56.000 Oh, okay.

02:03:57.000 Let's go slow.

02:03:59.000 One dev at a time.

02:04:00.000 We need a legit game dev who knows... What are we using?

02:04:04.000 GameMaker?

02:04:05.000 Is that what it is?

02:04:06.000 GameMaker?

02:04:06.000 Yeah, and it's not even that complicated.

02:04:08.000 It's just mostly tedious.

02:04:09.000 But we need someone who can streamline through these projects because we got too much on our plates.

02:04:14.000 Jobs at TimCast.com.

02:04:16.000 And I think we might already have a ton of people who applied, but feel free to email us.

02:04:21.000 And well, it's Friday night.

02:04:23.000 We'll do one more.

02:04:24.000 Jordan Olson says, Love your show.

02:04:25.000 Please shout out Smiley's Rescues, a no-kill cage-free dog and cat sanctuary that is run by my girlfriend, a freedom-loving American.

02:04:33.000 Shout out, Smiley's. 0.93

02:04:33.000 Right on. 0.93

02:04:35.000 Thanks for hanging out on this Friday night.

02:04:47.000 I'll plug my own book for the second time.

02:04:49.000 The Man Behind the Curtain, The Secret Network of George Soros on Amazon, Martha Noble.

02:04:53.000 Get it.

02:04:53.000 And I don't want to, you have another book too, right?

02:04:56.000 So it's actually somehow my second book I've published this year, well I've published.

02:05:00.000 Other one it's about de Blasio and Cuomo and just kind of a brief history of them ruining New York. 0.82

02:05:04.000 It's called Dumb and Dumber.

02:05:06.000 Gimmicky title, but a good book, obviously I would say that.

02:05:10.000 Might be a bit dated now, but I think it's also an enjoyable read.

02:05:13.000 Where can people follow you on?

02:05:15.000 Unfortunately, the website's kind of a hell site.

02:05:15.000 Only on Twitter.

02:05:17.000 But MattPolumbo12 on Twitter.

02:05:20.000 That's the only place I'm at.

02:05:21.000 Nice to see you.

02:05:22.000 Hey, check me out.

02:05:24.000 Ian Crossland.

02:05:25.000 Anywhere on the Internet.

02:05:25.000 Love you.

02:05:26.000 See you later.

02:05:27.000 We were talking about NFTs and we were talking about rap and it made me think of one of my favorite artists called NF.

02:05:32.000 He is a Christian.

02:05:33.000 He writes about philosophy.

02:05:35.000 He's very talented.

02:05:36.000 So you guys should check him out for sure.

02:05:37.000 And you guys should also follow me on Twitter at Sour Patch Lids because I'm very close to beating Sour Patch Kids and Followers.

02:05:43.000 That's my only goal in life.

02:05:45.000 Make sure you go to youtube.com slash castcastle to watch the shenanigans that happen every day in this facility, which are likely just to get more shenanigansy as more and more people come.

02:05:55.000 But that's one of that's our new our latest show and our new show.

02:05:58.000 We're having a meeting on to prepare for the launch next week.

02:06:01.000 Graphics, marketing materials, accounts, all that good stuff.

02:06:05.000 And we even have, I think, like two episodes ready to launch.

02:06:07.000 It's a great show.

02:06:08.000 You're gonna love it.

02:06:09.000 And, you know, as I always say, you just get started.

02:06:11.000 We're gonna start it up.

02:06:12.000 We're gonna slowly make it better and better and better.

02:06:14.000 And we got a lot of great new stuff coming for TimCast.com.

02:06:16.000 So, that being said, thanks for hanging out, everybody.

02:06:19.000 And we will see you all Monday.
